You simply have 24 hours to find all the words in the grid.

12:14 am

hi, togema, and welcome. you can see standings for players on the rankings page. if you haven't read the help page, I recommend it - strongly :)

12:14 am

we just try to get all the words within 24 hours

12:14 am

tog we are all winners and we all help each other finish the board

12:15 am

12:16 am

whew glad I am past THAT

12:17 am

I'm not usually on at this time. I'm not too good at spotting the long words in a new grid

12:17 am

well...isn't "terd" spelled with a U? "turd"? LOL

12:17 am

LOL

12:17 am

(neither of which is in the grid)

12:17 am

good, jilli. I was sure you would

12:17 am

12:17 am

triangle--it was a little flurry and did not stick, but it was a surprise

12:40 am

where are you josh?

12:40 am

no snow here yet -- still flowers in the garden

12:40 am

triangle does not compute...

12:40 am

the triangle--raleigh/durham

12:42 am

repeated myself too

12:42 am

my wife's cousin lives in Raleigh

12:42 am

twice dale :)

12:42 am

we usually have nice weather here

triangle is raleigh/durham/chapel hill, or cary, or whatever they're calling it these days

12:43 am

well he's not there yet ru...not an easy task for a horrid Canadian alien to work in the states even is his knowledge is needed

12:43 am

ohhh so raleigh is included...too funny...must tell him...

12:43 am

bu7 x 3

12:43 am

if that is true how dumb is that?

12:44 am

phantom barriers

12:44 am

it is true ru....you think it's easy for a canadian to be able to move, live, and work in the states?

12:44 am

they don't want us....we're too civilized and polite

12:45 am

jeez you'd think it wouldn't be a big deal

12:45 am

oh lol

12:45 am

trust me.....it is....

12:45 am

if it wasn't.....more than 1/2 our population would move there in a nanosecond

12:46 am

If the election had gone the other way you would have had thousands of americans coming to canada

12:46 am

Just1 in that case come where you willbe appreciated Australia

12:46 am

why is that just?

12:46 am

at least during the winter

NBT finally - don't know why it took me so long to find that R

12:46 am

ok lore...easier cause we're commonwealth cousins

12:46 am

indeed so, ruru. we were investigating Canada, Holland, and Spain.

i have thought about moving to oz in the past, depending on how feasible it is and how affordable real estate is

12:47 am

I was thinking about moving up to jilli's area

12:47 am

josh everyone is welcome here plenty of room for everyone

12:47 am

seems to pretty expensive everywhere in the western world

12:47 am

ruru you meant to be going to NZ with your speedos'

12:47 am

come onna my house, ruru :)

12:47 am

*** buys josh some ruby slippers ****

12:47 am

5:09 am

I've only just started and have only found 6 b's so far

5:09 am

The b's are lovely, Ata. I started off with them and you can get on a roll and go right through them. The man servant words are fun.

5:10 am

they are not lovely, Jac, you are just masochistic :P

5:10 am

Morning Jacula!

5:10 am

I have 32 words left to finish but have to go to ASDDA now. (THAT'S masochistic.):(

5:10 am

thats' VERY masochistic!

5:11 am

ASDDA? Since when did it have 2 d's? Oh well, you knew what I meant.

5:11 am

oh yes :)

5:11 am

Hey, Jac, you speakin' to me, or what?!

5:12 am

the extra D is for dreaded

5:12 am

why isn't the shivery b allowed?

5:12 am

Hello Hydra. I got worn out just looking at your active sister's 'photos on FB. Had to have a lie down after!

5:12 am

Ata - Good one!:D

5:12 am

Eva - It is. Add an extra consonant.

5:13 am

what is ASDDA?

5:13 am

Oh yes. I havent seen them yet but Mr Grumpy, who's been up since dawn as usual, told me about them. BTW, Asda is the only place that sells Flad's favourite cat foot, Feline Fayre. Have yours tried it?

5:13 am

thanks!

5:13 am

Eva - ASDA is the UK Wal-Mart.

5:13 am

not recently, hydra. does it taste nice? :P

5:14 am

Hydra - Tiggsey is a 'Felix' cat.

5:14 am

LOL, Ata.

5:14 am

Not tried it myself, Ata - LOL

5:14 am

whereas I get cat from hell who will only eat Hills Prescription Diet i/d food

5:14 am

Hydra - Meant to ask, but didn't want to do so on FB in case Mr.G. saw it. How old is that pic he's got up on FB??

Waves hello

5:15 am

I974!!!

5:15 am

Oh dear, Ata. The most expensive option.

5:15 am

Merp now goes to a naturapathic vet who insists on nothing but raw food, so I get to serve him lovely ground up bloody turkey every morning. Really starts the day off right, but he has been much healthier since we switched.

5:15 am

Thought so, Hydra. LOL

5:16 am

Hang on, I must look at his page. There's another photo of him in a wig, dyed moustache and red Converses. That was three years ago at my Summer of Love party

5:16 am

I must go. Don't want to miss the bus. TTFN.x

Um my cat eats Eagle Pack which is $30 Aus or 20 quid works out about 50.c a day

5:16 am

Hydra - I can only see his profile pic.

5:16 am

Must run now. Byeee.

5:17 am

absolutely. but we did go through every cheaper cat food before realising that the Hills was the only one that Sily can actually digest well

5:17 am

bye

5:17 am

Yes, that'#s the 3 years ago one. Just looked.

5:18 am

very cold here this morning. Have to go and stoke the stove.

(my cat food is not cheap but it beats Cat McDonalds)

5:19 am

Hi herin. What's your cat called? Or have you got more than one?

No this is Pandora. The one in my icon is from Lolcats

5:20 am

What colour is she?

5:20 am

5:21 am

5:22 am

5:23 am

*grins* hobbit flopped after a walk. her normal pose for most of the day!

5:23 am

very dignified!

Hydra pandora is white she is in my flickr pics

5:24 am

oh yes, always! LOL

5:24 am

how's oscarmonster?

Ata you should at least polietly asks the dog to close her legs and be a lady

5:24 am

not too monster-ish at the moment....lulling me into a false sense of security!

5:25 am

he's got something brewing!

5:25 am

lol, I've tried, herin. Apparently she doesn't like being ladylike

HI Liz and ossie

5:25 am

its a cocker thing - Scully was the same

5:26 am

she certaiinly seems to find it most comfortable to lie like that

5:27 am

could scully get both her legs out behind her while lying on her stomach, liz? like springers etc like doing

5:27 am

yep, flat out

5:28 am

hang on - brb

5:28 am

hobbit can't, poor babe!

Ata i thought that was a dog thing

5:29 am

hobbit seems to be the only dog in the world that can't do it lol

5:31 am

can't she? Sasha could and even Scully with her hip dysplasia

5:31 am

Oscar can't tho

5:31 am

hang on! 47 b words????

5:31 am

no way!

5:31 am

yep *groans*

5:32 am

Hobbit can get one leg completely back, but the other one always remains at right angles to the body. I always assumed it was because she has slightly dodgy hips, but if Scully could do it ....!

5:33 am

they're all different I guess :)

5:33 am

yep! I'll just assume it's her own little peculiarity now!

I think your dog is special Ata

5:33 am

I'm sorry but there cannot be 47 b words

5:34 am

very special *coughs*

5:34 am

as special as Oscar? Blimey!

6:00 am

36 b's is close enough

6:00 am

im up to an astounding 17 of them

6:01 am

lol it's so funny seeing half of babble hating brit spelling and half hating american spelling

6:02 am

well the colour in the theatre was great on arbour day;)))

6:02 am

lol

6:02 am

I'm an equal opportunity hater. I hate them both.

6:03 am

we like crossy

I hate when im typing Mum and i type mom. Not the Mom babbler but mum in everyday conversation

6:03 am

seeing it spelt color make me want to return books;)

6:03 am

color is the one that always annoys me too. I don't know why!

6:04 am

and the word dived and lighted in all the wron context;(

6:04 am

Time to make osme lunch back shortly :)

6:04 am

wrong even

6:04 am

and dove! as in dived. I don't like dove

6:05 am

and gotten. *shuts up now*

6:05 am

Osmotic lunch? Yum. :p

How is as in Dived spelt?

6:05 am

what drives me nits is "he lighted a cigarrette"

6:05 am

now crossy shuts up

6:06 am

I don't like e.g. "I wouldn’t have gotten this far without you". Got. Got! Why add an extra 3 letters?

6:06 am

*really shuts up now* :D

Is that not a double negative if you say that? I wouldn't have gotten this far?

6:07 am

oh probably, I just stole it from a MS I'm reading at the moment as the first example I could find with gotten!

6:08 am

there's a great story here in the US about a man who sent his wife a telegram that said "have gotten tickets to play tonight" and she showed up with eight friends....

6:08 am

last bu a 6 == conjunction and first name of Nessmen in wkrp cincinnati

6:08 am

loooooooool

On that note I'm going to crawl into bed (since bed is still mattress on the ground)

(Snicker to at Trifs great story(

6:10 am

heh, had that one, but LOVE the clue BR

6:11 am

and "he dived into the pool" what kind of crap is that?

6:11 am

crossy really shuts up

6:11 am

ooo got sidetracked for a moment there and I come back and find I've lost the thread of all this chat completely

I still dont know what as to dive is spelt

6:11 am

that's what we'd say!

6:11 am

lol Liz, we're just complained about different spellings of words over the world!

6:12 am

does Sark have its own dialect / words?

6:12 am

LOL ATa, and also if there have to be different spellings then why cant enable recognise them>

6:12 am

YEs Sark has its own Patois. Its like the old Norman French

6:13 am

can you speak it?

6:13 am

and on that note corrsy "lighted" a lamp and "dived" into the grid

http://tinyurl.com/6clh2h I just found this on the net about English v AMerican English

6:13 am

only a few words - its dying out sadly

6:13 am

oh that's sad :( tell us something so we can spread at least a phrase!

6:14 am

6:14 am

6:17 am

morning Carlee & Ata

6:17 am

( apparently crossy is cross re: word colour/color?

6:18 am

that makes sense!

6:18 am

hi lynx

6:18 am

Guernsey and Jersey both have their own individual patois too. All 3 are different

6:18 am

It's a very cool language. Many Acadains near me, and I see shades of that as well.

6:18 am

is it still officially spoken in govenment duties etc?

6:19 am

Labrador Retriever + Curly Coated Retriever: Lab Coat Retriever, the choice of research scientists.

6:21 am

***hopes BR posts the ba she doesn't have*** :)

6:21 am

Lynxxx, this will be long and I do apologise but it is funny!

6:21 am

A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments, tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead. The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion. The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too." The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead. So, the vet brings in a black Labrador. The lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead too." The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "$650." "$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaims the man. "Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab tests."

I don't think I would be sure either

6:34 am

You need a new coach.

6:34 am

3 ra; 16 re; 1 rh; 3 ri; 6 ru

6:34 am

Clean hits, and being used as a deterrent are 2 different things entirely.

6:34 am

6:34 am

son typically..as in 99% of time is clean hits

6:35 am

An re, naturally. Thanks, I guess.... :D

6:53 am

Funny kid story: I saw a 12 mo old boy for his "well child visit" and his 3 yr old sister was present. When I went to check his boy parts she said, "Wait til you see his 2 little eggs hiding down there."

and gm

7:07 am

Sadly, some chick will go after him and then get pregnant--I see terrible pairings in my office everyday and most of the day.

7:07 am

Hi Jean

7:08 am

eHarmony...

7:08 am

hmmm..i feel like we in middle of a conversation that I completely missed beginning of....

7:08 am

creepy, no. just vomit-inducing!

I'm on eharmony

7:08 am

People think "love" and not "Will that person be a good partner/parent"?

7:09 am

just mind-boggling...

7:09 am

very good point scrabs

7:10 am

And quite sad when babies enter the situation.

7:11 am

at least the posting behind him is accurate - LOL... maybe some young foolish girls will pay attention

7:11 am

I often want to say, when in exam rooms, "Why did you pick her/him?"

7:11 am

phantom = derriere

7:11 am

and terrier

7:11 am

as teenagers, there is no real reason, scrab

7:12 am

That reason = sex and infatuation.

7:12 am

and hormones....

7:13 am

And brain death

7:13 am

and stupidity

7:13 am

snap scrabs

7:13 am

not only teens .... some get married 6 7 8 times or more cheaper to rent

7:14 am

Yep, I have families with 4 or more kids, all with different fathers and the mother shacking up with yet someone else.

7:14 am

oy vey.... and this the future of our world?

7:14 am

It is so sad--so many kids that I want to adopt.

7:15 am

when did it become chic to have bastards am not saying that in a slurred mean sense...but once in society it was the WORST thing possible... and now..its...the thing to do)

7:15 am

Yes, Carlee, feral kids that become adults. It frightens me on a daily basis.

7:16 am

No shame anymore, Carlee.

7:16 am

wow, didn't mean to drag us into the depths of despair

7:16 am

yea... that is it...no shame

7:17 am

Next to the tragic stuff I see (cancer, etc) in kids, the future of society, the futures of these feral kids--->sad and scary.

7:17 am

on a happier note...completely off topic ... am filtering wine today and a brand new very $ shiraz is coming off that no one has yet tried :)

7:18 am

morning, everyone. I had quite a surprise on Monday. I was asked to write a guest post for one of my favorite frugality blogs. It will appear on Wednesday of next week.

7:18 am

But, kje, that is what I see everyday. It is the minority of families (perhaps 20% of what I see) that are raising respectful, responsible kids.

7:19 am

9:12 am

having the ability to be rented phaeton

his resume indicates that hes is eminently hi7.

9:13 am

9:19 am

hi pini

9:20 am

well, oodles, if it made you smile (even for a second) it was worth it ... hope today is better!

9:22 am

not awake yet either I was awaken by a telephone call at 8 30 didn't get to sleep til about 4 50 this morning

9:23 am

when I am sleep deprived I am worth ZILCH

9:23 am

lack of sleep is not good for humans, so that's unsurprising, oddle

9:24 am

in that case...review the chog when you do wake up to get your * smile *

9:24 am

are there any dr words?

9:24 am

i've not found any yet, phae, but there may be.

9:25 am

ok, thanks dc

9:25 am

serl

9:25 am

oops

9:25 am

(I don't know yet either, phae)

9:25 am

well there are people who can function very well on 4 hours of sleep... I am not one of those. besides I think it was the cafein that I had at lunch yesterday too... I hate this feeling... I'm all foggy ect.

9:26 am

just found the vowelless br4 that i always forget

9:26 am

no dr words phaeton

9:26 am

'tis the season, kje...right?

9:26 am

thanks, will stop looking

9:26 am

the cold one, kje?

9:26 am

less so here, but yes : )

9:26 am

ty, kje, i'd forgotten about it.

9:27 am

oh crap, MM, is there another br vowelless word???

9:27 am

vowelless br???

9:27 am

That word always makes me shiver for some reason......

9:27 am

phantom : barrier

9:27 am

i have the one with 3 consonents

9:28 am

yes, oodle...the sound you make when it's really really cold!

9:29 am

I guess it doesn't go plural.... DUH

9:29 am

burries

9:29 am

buries

9:29 am

shit

9:30 am

i wonder what the algorithm is for selecting tiles each day... clearly it is not random, as we never see z's, q's or k's with the same frequency as say, e, r, and s

9:30 am

that last one isn't in this grid, but has shown up before! =)

9:30 am

shit is not in the grid

9:30 am

not in that form anyway

9:30 am

no need for cussin' oodle

9:30 am

snap pini

9:30 am

there was a q the other day kje

9:30 am

^5 kje!

9:31 am

not the point oodle

9:31 am

unfortunately, I should go get ready for work...ugh!

9:31 am

oh sorry didn't read all of it.. AS USUAL

9:31 am

happy babbling...save some clues for me; I'll be back later!

9:31 am

they show up, but not as frequently, thus cannot be a random selection of letters each day...must be some algorithm that favors certain letters

9:32 am

hagd pini

9:33 am

kje, in the game boggle, there are more A, T, S, etc in the mix and only one Z or Qu in the whole game, so there's less a chance they'll show up. i'm sure it's the same here (just virtually so)

9:34 am

fireworks

9:34 am

woohoo merk!!!

9:34 am

sorry about the 'word' I wasn't thinking... not awake all the way and it is quite frustrating to put a word in the chat box instead of the add word box

9:35 am

well done merk

9:35 am

no biggie... we've seen worse in the chog : )

9:35 am

ty, see you in the morning

9:36 am

don't think I am going to do anything today because I am too tired to think correctly ... all I need is to screw up in an interview

9:37 am

go lie down for a bit oodle

9:38 am

too tense to do that... that's why I decided to do this. at least there is someone to whom I can talk

9:39 am

and usually when I talk I calm down after a bit bt ty kje :-)

9:39 am

do you know that research shows that lying peacefully in a room with eyes closed is almost as refreshing to the body as sleep... you can practice relaxing, it is good for your health

9:41 am

ok fine I know when I am not wanted... *cries in the corner*

9:41 am

JUST KIDDING

9:41 am

not that i am trying to get rid of you or anything!

Hi! Let's hear it!

9:57 am

9:58 am

Bye Bernice!

9:58 am

9:59 am

go flos!

9:59 am

and this time I'm going to get the paper, sidetracked last time, went back to bed instead

131 here.

9:59 am

For those of you who don't know, I work in a Police Department. Yesterday, one of our detectives was at a local shopping plaza doing surveillance, looking for drug dealers. Instead, what he observed was a prostitution "transaction". He declined to issue summonses though, because the prostitute was 66 years old. (waits for chorus of ewwwwws).

10:00 am

that is just sad

10:00 am

oh my gosh Judi

10:00 am

how old was the person looking for the prostitute?

10:00 am

it just goes to show - you can never be to old for anything!!

10:01 am

She was wearing a Hanna Montana wig and a red leather waist-length coat, red lace bra and panties and matching boots. Nothing else.

10:01 am

of course not Dach, but to be selling it is really very sad

10:01 am

Hey, she looked only about 56 ..

10:01 am

no... i would have her looked at... maybe she is sane and this has been her whole life, but i would worry about psych illness (mania) or dementia and someone taking advantage of her

10:01 am

lol tor

10:02 am

The "John" was considerably younger.

10:02 am

No psych issues. She's been arrested numerous times in the past. She is a professional working girl.

10:03 am

"John" has some icky mommy issues....

10:03 am

Torgone! That was you??!! Damn. What a great icon your mug shot would have made.

10:05 am

Our detective now claims he needs treatment for post-traumatic eye stress.

10:07 am

okay, I have GOT to make something of my day, so I will have to leave the grid for a bit. Darn. 20 to go, so not a bad morning, right? good luck all!

10:08 am

Bye Trifi!

10:25 am

besides AVG

10:25 am

that is what I have right now

10:25 am

flos - that other si5 is yes si*** (mr + 2 double vowel)

10:25 am

and I am having problems with it

10:25 am

OK, better drag my back into th ekitchen and make dinner. The school chairs really do it in, I tell you.

10:26 am

10:26 am

2

10:26 am

thanks kj

10:26 am

AVG is supposed to be the best free antivirus software. Have you tried deleting it and re-loading?

10:26 am

thanks, kje

10:26 am

just got that too aloy... must be on the same wavelength

10:26 am

yeah Judi I tried that

10:27 am

10:27 am

doesn't want to update for some reason

10:27 am

huh. i've regitered in spanish on a website. Iguess that makes sense, since a spaniard invited me. LOL

10:28 am

Hmm. If you have a firewall or a pop-up blocker, disable them before you try to update AVG. That might help.

10:28 am

1

10:28 am

will try that judi

10:28 am

kje, for the double vowel one, did you try knocking off one of the first consonants?

10:29 am

12:25 pm

Hi for a few!

12:26 pm

hi MG! how's Walter today?

12:26 pm

G'd afternoon MG

12:27 pm

Doh. Got the d's.

12:27 pm

Fine! He's been fine since last time, actuall. It was just a fall cold. He went ice skating with his whole school the other day, and is excited about the gearing up to Sinterklaas at school.

12:27 pm

Thank you for asking!

12:28 pm

awwwww

12:28 pm

Christmas is a religious day here. But before that Sinter Klaas arrives on a boat from his home in Spain, accompanied by thousands of clones of his highly inappropriate assistant Black Pete, and rides his horse Amerigo through the city (that was Sunday). On 5 December he delivers gifts to the good and coal to the bad.

12:30 pm

Meanwhile the bad news is that the orthopedist, whom I was finally allowed to see, thinks I have a ruptured disc. I get x-rays to confirm on Monday. At least this is a step toward something actually being done...

12:31 pm

Sounds like a neat christmas experience

12:31 pm

ow!

12:31 pm

well, not THAT part.

12:31 pm

hello all;) i have 3 herniated disks in my neck mg..carefull,sometimes the cure is worse than the hurt;/

12:32 pm

wb cross

12:32 pm

ty lori

12:32 pm

It is, Lori. Plus kids like Walter get two, because everyone in the States will be asking about what Santa gave him and all. We have decided to say they're cousins (Santa and Sinter Klaas). Sinter Klaas is actually a hoistorical fingure, a bishop from Turkey, but has achieved Santa status folklorically.

12:33 pm

Thanks for the info, Cross. And Hi! I've been walking around with this for four months. I do need to think carefullly-- I'm 8 weeks away from my Bachelor's degree, can't have surgery now!

12:33 pm

sun is out and its a lovely day here:)

12:33 pm

Gloomy, windy, and rainy here. Typical Dutch late fall.

12:34 pm

in most extreme cases they will want to put rids in:((

12:34 pm

rods even

12:34 pm

Ah.... The orthopedist said if I do have one, which he's pretty sure of, it is "small".

12:35 pm

i opted out and did the wait and see cause if i went with the rods id be unable to turn my neck

12:35 pm

Point total please?

12:35 pm

I'm in a lot of pain but not so much in the leg, and he discovered (I hadn't noticed!) that when pressure is applied on top of my right toes, I can't lift them.

12:35 pm

3183

12:36 pm

Oooh, that would have been nasty, Cross. How did it work out? Did it heal, or are you still making tough choices on that one?

12:36 pm

Okay, 5/12. thanks Atatopia!

12:36 pm

how far up/or down are the affected disks mg?

12:36 pm

It's lumbar, priobably just one disc. Not sure which disc is what number, but looks like four or so above the tailbone.

12:37 pm

Four months ago I put soap into the dishwasher and could not stand back up.

12:37 pm

in my cas,the 3 affected disks calcified and shrank over time hence coming away from the spinal nerves..it sitll lets me know that its there but it is ok for now

12:37 pm

how did this happen MG? My hubby did his trying to open the garage door while it was iced shut

12:37 pm

i did mone doing a exercise program:((

12:38 pm

Ouch, but I sure am glad it's better now! Yeah, I am not unfamiliar with chronic pain and like you would SO choose awareness of a problem over motion loss...

12:38 pm

***Thanks Ata Hari, Je suis finished with that si 5/12 :p***

12:38 pm

any motion loss or nerve damage is a bad thing and choice must be made

12:38 pm

I have an exercise program, and had my insurance-paid limit of physiotherapy, and 8 acupuncture treatments, and it just keeps gettingw orse. Sigh. Not funw with a four-year-old around! He wants to be picked up for lots of things.

12:39 pm

Bichon, see below, I posted what I did. So, lesson here, don't load the dishwasher...

12:40 pm

It's so strange how these things happen. But it will get better with proper treatment

12:40 pm

sire

12:40 pm

Yes, Cross. This is a highly recommended orthopedist.... I hope, if teh rupture is confirmed, that I can get away with teh cortisone shots, at least for the next couple of months before I get my degree.

12:40 pm

sorry

12:40 pm

my cheom resulted in dead nerves in the hands and feet,that was an acceptable trade,but im not about to not be able to bend down or be unable to turn my neck but it took over a year to see which way the diaks were going to go;(

12:40 pm

chemo even

12:41 pm

disks even

12:41 pm

And disks... hee hee. Oh, you've just said that. Yes, choices must be made based on what is at stake.

12:41 pm

You have a lot on your plate MG

12:41 pm

yes,take the shots and do a wait and see,but that is just me.keep up with the doc appts

12:42 pm

Over a year, OK.... I still have some residual tendinitis from my two-year battle with severe RSI. I can do this. Just a bad time for it, overall.

12:42 pm

RSI?

12:43 pm

Now that you mention it, Bichon, I do. But after I get this degree (a week before my 40th birthday) things will get better-- I'll be able to get work and buy a better cargo trike and all that good stuff.

12:43 pm

RSI = Repetetive Strain Injury

12:43 pm

I could not even hold a paperback book open for more than a year.

12:44 pm

Oh, of course, how silly of me not to know that. I've got lots of that.

12:44 pm

That was about 5 years ago.

12:44 pm

like carpel tunnel syndrome

12:44 pm

my brother has that now..i sent him a copy of my speech to type program so he could still work

12:44 pm

Yup got that from keyboarding so much. Arm falls asleep at night

12:45 pm

I had loose bone sheathes on both arms (one still comes back), which moves the nerves back and forth. I had tennis elbow on one side and golf elbow on the other, frozen shoulder, and swollen hands. All from an illegal job at a newspaper (was ilelgal here for some years).

12:46 pm

Dragon? Good program. I used it for several months.

12:46 pm

and remember ladies the program is called "dragon naturally speaking" and is the best program out there

12:46 pm

It's excellent.

12:46 pm

mm did i echo..it didnt sho the first time for me;)

12:47 pm

ouch mg!

12:47 pm

I see no extra posts...

12:48 pm

Yeah, it wasbn'tnice. But better than either the knee injury or the foot injury, both now thankfully also in the past although no doubt factors in my current situation...

12:48 pm

hi monkey - knew I couldn't stay away long! :)

12:48 pm

Hi Trif!

12:48 pm

12:49 pm

12:51 pm

12:51 pm

hello all, 40 left and tired of this grid

12:51 pm

yes...down to the last 13, and torn between the satisfying feeling of being done, and the fun of meeting so many new friends on here!

12:51 pm

And of course as Stephen Wright so accurately put it, wherever you go, there you are.

12:52 pm

You said it, Cross!

12:52 pm

lol i was tired of it as soon as i found out bout all those b,s

12:52 pm

at least you're past the dreaded 14

12:52 pm

my fave stephen wright saying is: I plan to live forever. So far, so good.

12:52 pm

yes there are a ton of B words

12:52 pm

or as the newfies put it"you saty where your at and ill come where your to":)

12:52 pm

lol re: the b's! I seem to be bogged down in the re's however....

12:52 pm

hi there, hurshy, how are you?

12:52 pm

My favorite is, "Yesterday I... no, that wasn't me."

12:53 pm

lol

12:53 pm

i'm fine

12:53 pm

living forever has itsd issues some old gaffer holding onto a job you have been waiting for for 850 years;(

12:53 pm

hmmmm my favorite knitter isn't on yet, I see...must still be at work

12:54 pm

bbs to finish

12:54 pm

12:55 pm

all 4 of them start with the same first three letters'

12:56 pm

the fourth one should just be the third's plural

12:56 pm

Dang, my scratchboard knife is in my jacket and I just sat back down. Wanted to work on my soapstone rabbit soon. I hate having a back injury. It's too fundamental, like a headache. If I could trade I want the smashed up knee back instead. Sigh. Who can clue the 9's?

12:57 pm

ooh mg,you do soapstone carvings?

12:57 pm

Do you have the U that means a female internal organ in the plural?

12:57 pm

Oh, wrong U, sorry.

12:58 pm

bu9 de9.

12:58 pm

Hadn't done it for 20 years, Cross, but a friend just started working big and I like tow ork small, so I get her fall-off chips, which tend to average 5 inches on a side. Fun to get back into something easy to carry around and work on in waiting rooms and the like.

12:58 pm

Thank you!

12:58 pm

the fourth should be the third's plural?

12:58 pm

hmmm.... that's... odd

12:58 pm

I have the plural U, but only one U before that

12:58 pm

i have ur5, then plural, then a vowel change.

12:59 pm

was going to ask if you have ever done a wolf carving

12:59 pm

There are four from that U, whichj is to say 2 words and their 2 plurals.

12:59 pm

the fourth word in the ur's list is the plural of the third one, yes.

12:59 pm

Not for years. Would love an excuse to. You want one?

12:59 pm

id love a wolf in soapstone

12:59 pm

I'm going to do a turkey carving next week ..

I'll do you one.

1:00 pm

*scratches head, as one kind of pl isn't there and another kind would make the second word again*

1:00 pm

your an angel:)

1:00 pm

ohhhh i see

1:00 pm

it's 5 6 5 6

Mmmmm, wish we had a real excuse for that... we'll do aChristmas turkey.

1:00 pm

*doink*

Oh, no problem, it's good for the soul, Cross. These last few years I have not been continulaly working on something artistic, for the first time in my life, and i can feel it eating away at me....

Yeah, weird ones, eh, hursh?

Got to finish this hare first, but that's a matter of hours now.

1:02 pm

hmph, i though bulterise sounded so promising, and... MG said a wooooord

1:02 pm

ive started serious outdoor phtography so ill tell you what,you do me a nice soapstone wolf and ill do you a nice local nature shot on a nice backboard sutable for hanging

I did? I did???? Looking...

Thanks, cross, that'd be really sweet!

I did! Sigh.

1:04 pm

aHA!

1:05 pm

with de9, is de a prefix, or just part of the word? if not prefix, is this perchance a compound? (prob not, in this grid...)

1:06 pm

de9 something you want very much, not a compound word

1:06 pm

ah thanks... suffix!

1:07 pm

and the 8's are ba and...?

1:08 pm

ne 8

1:08 pm

thanks lori!

1:10 pm

did anyone else watch law and order last night? it made me so mad.

Cross, e-mail me at kmcoo@chello.nl with an address to send the wolf to. It'll be a week or so before I can get one finished though so no huge rush on the e-mail.

1:11 pm

yup dont rush mg..i have just the perfect pic and can have it mounted and ready to ship in bout 14-20 days

1:11 pm

chipdip33@hotmail.com

Don't worry, can't rush this. Otherwise it has no soul.

1:12 pm

hey all

1:12 pm

we definatly want the soul of the wolf;)

1:13 pm

hey, bfsog :-)

1:13 pm

howdy bfsog;)

1:13 pm

what if you rush it, but put a little microchip inside that plays aretha franklin?

Yup. I understand about totems.

1:13 pm

ahhh..no

Hursh, taht is a hilarious and fine idea!!! Take too long to develop or find a chip though.

1:14 pm

they put them in greeting cards

Not with Aretha...

1:14 pm

ive seen those cards hursh!

1:14 pm

hursh LOLOLOL!!!

1:15 pm

hursh, your cheeses look DEEEELISH!

1:15 pm

but, if you found out who the card company gets the chips from, you could probably order them with whatever you want.

1:15 pm

last thing i want is a nice soapstone wolf with a chip stolen from a hallmark greeting card that plays "you are my sunshine" lol

1:15 pm

not that you would go to all that trouble for a joking around

1:15 pm

gotta run take pecan choc chip brownies out of oven . . .

1:15 pm

hurshy, I Tivo's Law & Order, but haven't watched it. Why was it maddening?

1:15 pm

someone said cheese?

1:16 pm

cause it's about the fundamentalist mormon polygamists, and they make me mad

Hmmm.

1:16 pm

Of course, they make everyone mad. Morman Fundamentalists in NYC?

1:17 pm

well, there were some boys who had been kicked out due to unsustainable demography, and a girl who had run away

1:18 pm

what is unsustainable demography?

1:18 pm

the oldmen want the young girls so they kick out the young boys

1:18 pm

men with multiple wives, closed society, no warfare to kill the men off. this means there are lots of extra males.

1:19 pm

Okay, got it, sounds bad.

1:19 pm

unsustainable is always bad...

1:20 pm

i want hubris and barrister and tularemia

OK, remember I am re-learning this technique... I have superglued the rabbit's ear tip back ona dn can thus declare it done and will start meditating on a suitable wolf for you. No fears, I'd never send someone else one, especially in the context of a totam, with supergle on it! Hare ears are LONG and DELICATE!

1:21 pm

ear hairs can also be long and delicate

1:21 pm

we have a poligamist bout 2 hours sough of here in a town near kitchner he has 3 wives ranging from 50 down to 22 and they have been together for years

Please ignore typos and referral to rabbit-- it IS a hare.

1:21 pm

lol mg...someone say rabbits?

1:21 pm

and rampant word saying

1:21 pm

Hurshy, why would you want tularelia. It's an awful disease <ggg>

1:22 pm

har har har

1:22 pm

i trust in your totem skills mg;)

1:22 pm

i want to get one more B and then i'll get the list

OK, I have three stones here suitable for your wolf. Looking at them, no contest, gotta be the big one. So you can expect your critter to be around 2 inches long unless I break him, then you'll get a different rock.

1:23 pm

got 2!

1:23 pm

you can do the b's without the list, hurshy!

1:24 pm

i can?

1:24 pm

and...................FIREWORKS!!!!! YAy me!

1:24 pm

but i still need 6 of them

1:24 pm

yep!

1:24 pm

1:24 pm

YW juggle. I am off for that ciggie, though. back in 10

4:06 pm

he6 - one who he4s

hi moon

Hi kje. Did you still want me to send those letters now that it's getting closer to Christmas?

4:18 pm

uh-huh

4:19 pm

that is so kind of you to offer.. I'll send you an email with the info

4:20 pm

and also... I don't think i will challenge you to bowling anymore - lolol

4:20 pm

evening peeps anyone got a clue for the de 9 please

I love making kids "rebelieve" in Christmas

4:20 pm

de + respectful way to address a man + cain's brother

4:20 pm

de 9 plays off the de6 - to want... add the ending making it an adjective

de = not repulsive

4:21 pm

ty both - been at it for too long again

4:21 pm

well bubba... you certainly took the romance out of that word - LOL

4:21 pm

or should that be all 3

4:21 pm

story of my life

*resorting to list - 55 to go*

4:23 pm

hi beautiful peoples... happy babbling...

hi oodle!

4:23 pm

hi beautiful oodle : )

4:23 pm

I take the romance out and oodle puts it right back in

4:23 pm

you wouldn't believe this kje...

4:24 pm

maybe he can teach you something bubba : )

4:24 pm

old dog, new tricks???

4:24 pm

I got up just a half an hour ago

4:24 pm

just depends if the dog wants to learn - LOL

1/2 hour ago? you missed breakfast and lunch!

4:25 pm

that is great oodle!!! and you thought you couldn't rest!

4:25 pm

I'm having a tough time with being housebroken

4:25 pm

LOL bubba - there ARE cures for that

4:26 pm

I'm afraid to ask

4:27 pm

just turend on oprah and heard a disturbing statistic - 90% of women worldwide wish they could change their bodies

4:27 pm

that is sad

so glad I am not one of them, kje

4:27 pm

keep plastic guys busy

4:28 pm

i would have answered yes i guess, though wouldn't obsess about it or be willing to undergo the knife for it

4:28 pm

you chose the wrong surgical specialty, bubba (and I chose one of the lowest paid oput there - LOL)

4:28 pm

play the cards you are dealt

4:28 pm

I'm playing 'em bubba

4:29 pm

Everyone is trying to get into the plastic field, derms, ob's, surgerons, etc

4:29 pm

yuck... doesn't appeal to me AT ALL

4:30 pm

would rather spend my time helping people with real medical problems

4:30 pm

me neither, some things aren't meant to be cut

4:31 pm

oprah said iran is the nose job capital - who knew!

4:31 pm

I guess it is one of the few parts that shows

4:32 pm

I would think that plastic surgery is frowned upon in the strict Islamic world

I'm baaaack :)

4:32 pm

that disgusts me, that men oppress them and then male surgeons make money off changing the one item that actually shows to make it "alluring"

4:32 pm

wb tyger

4:32 pm

apparently not in iran

thx, oodle :)

4:33 pm

hello hello

4:33 pm

((((berry))))

kje, I've only had one contact with a Bangladeshi, and that was not positive :(

4:33 pm

(((((wild)))))

4:33 pm

Does Iran enforce the rule that women cover their faces

4:33 pm

not their faces... just bodies and hair.. thus noses show

yes, bubba, to some degree, depending on where in the country you are

hey, wild

hey kje, im back

4:34 pm

1the lady in tehran is saying it is such a "thing" to get nose jobs that people who cannot afford them will wear fake bandages and pretend they did

but Iran isn't like the Arab countries - at all. the similarities are strictly superficial

4:34 pm

ok ium...

not surprised, kje. Iranians tend to have strong noses, and that's not considered attractive on a woman

4:35 pm

vanity of vanities, all is vanity

4:35 pm

it should be in there own culture!!!!

may I have some help on bl4/6, pls?

4:35 pm

OK, need to turn it off... it is just pissing me off

yes, kje, but it's been contaminated by "Hollywood"

4:35 pm

bl + alien

4:36 pm

bl + alien phone home

thx, bubba, you've been a lifeline for me today

thx, too, kje, but I was already gone to enter it :)

thx kje, urs got me thinking, great clue!

BRB

and u bubba!

4:37 pm

It is strange that many people would mutilate their bodies to be like the superficial insipid hollywood types

help on ar7/40 plz

4:38 pm

ium - where does your game name come from?

very true, bubba, but people aren't rational

4:38 pm

plural of ar6 - ar + bu4

4:38 pm

ar + no ifs and or ***s + vowel

my MIL was watching a show a couple weeks ago about a girl who had so much surgery - she looked like an alien when she was done, before she died.

boy, bubba, I wish you'd been clueing when I was looking for the ar6. all kinds of people were giving me clues, but none that I could make sense of, until finally one gave me one I could get

4:40 pm

yw

moon, sounds like a female version of Michael hoozis

4:44 pm

ask oodle how good it feels to have color - he went pro recently

idk, whenever i get time.

does it cost money to go pro?

4:44 pm

yes, a one time fee of 14.95 - small price to pay for the pleasure that is babble!

4:45 pm

what and before a felt badly ???

oodle, a double post - quite accidentally

lol, ill have to think about it..

4:45 pm

oh ok ty

yes, ium. it should say on your screen

4:45 pm

well worth the money, iuman, went pro the first day many moons ago

but this game is surely addicting

it's a one-time charge, ium. you're a pro forever :)

lol, *mom*

4:46 pm

and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever

LOL, oodle

ok oodleberry, i get the picture

You will be assimilated.... there is not turning back once we get our hooks into you

*no*

4:46 pm

lol berry

there are lots of nice benefits. the stats go away after 2 weeks, unless you go pro

4:46 pm

It is useless to resist

this is one of those non-action games that are soooo addicting

4:46 pm

sorry couldn't resist cause it's like the energizer bunny hee hee

now, guys, don't intimidate him

4:47 pm

you become like a borg, you are assimilated into the collective hive

4:47 pm

u must be assimulated... right bubba?

4:47 pm

reistance is futile

4:47 pm

LOL bubba

kje, last night I confused one person whose intials end in V with another one. it was very embarassing

4:47 pm

yes yes that was it

no, no. NOT like the borg! we all retain our individuality

we sometimes have differences over all kinds of things - of course including politics and religion - BUT we never fight over it

4:48 pm

no big deal tyger... i confuse people all the time, oodle

4:48 pm

inconceivable, like ROUS

4:48 pm

hehehe

I'm off. might be back later.

IT is. Hi again Tyger

hey

Its nice to see where i got my looks from. Sadly my Bio dad is deceased

7:10 pm

so were you adopted ?

yup. that kind of thing always leaves the adoptee with a zillion questions - some of which can never be answered. but it's nice to get what answers can be had

friends adopted a girl from Russia back in the late 80s. I think they'll be taking her to Russia in the near future to see what she can learn

7:11 pm

ok now I get it

Yes i am adopted. My Mum and dad couldn't have kids

7:12 pm

well is you bio mom alive?

but they had you, herin :) - the other way. which works just fine

Oodle she is and there is 5 other kids. All half sisters

7:14 pm

hi, tyger adn all

Hi again Pam Yes it is a lot of people.

UAE, not bahamas....

if so, she may be there a long time

I've got a whole bag, after all

Ok Pardon my delay i was looking at Convict records

7:29 pm

i don't do penalty box, goalies don't go to the penalty box, some one else goes instead, in you go tyger, i'm a goalie

do you want clues?

if I'm in the PB, I ain't gonna clue

7:30 pm

which reminds me of the poem we read in school this morning: I love noodles. Give me oodles. Make a mound right to the sun. Noodles are my favorite foodles. (something something something rhymes with sun.)

oodle, do you like noodles? ;)

7:31 pm

love them but I am alergic to wheat

7:31 pm

ok, noodles in the PB

7:31 pm

i had me noodles for din din

actual wheat allergy, or the gluten?

7:32 pm

wheat... I have no reaction when I eat oats or barley

7:32 pm

walmart made fun of palin in its commercial! awesome!

so do you make your own bread, to get rye bread without the wheat flour mixed in?

7:33 pm

UR

7:33 pm

HI 7/40?

7:33 pm

yes, but clinton is on the board of directors or something isn't she?

7:33 pm

k, thanks

7:33 pm

yes but I prefer rice bread... it's closer to white bread of which when I was growing up ate too much

tell nut to get me out of the PB for her error

really?

7:34 pm

hey, i'm just the goalie tyger, i'll snap the stick off the ice when the penalty is over

she said I had to go in her place. I said I ain't gonna clue from the PB for a mistake I didn't make

I hate hockey, always have

forget that I come from Red Wings country

7:35 pm

*snap snap snap* stick clacking off of ice

7:35 pm

hey, just cause she said you had to go doesn't mean you're actually in there, tyger. she might be the goalie, she isn't the referee

8:46 pm

nrkii, I have that as the 1st ai4-5.

8:47 pm
