I have to mail most of packages and this year for the first I do not have to send everything priority. Even my family is shocked. They are sure something is wrong with me. I have been known to shop at the 24 hour drug store on Christmas eve.

Hi Frances!

2:19 am

Just a quick babble before I attack the housework.

2:20 am

babble's more fun!

2:20 am

I know Ata but there comes a time when it cannot be put off any longer!

2:20 am

unfortunately

2:22 am

I'm still hoping mine magically sorts itself out by itself

2:23 am

I gave up on that a long time ago.

2:23 am

I'm ever hopeful

2:25 am

When people ask what I do in the winter (no cricket) I say housework. So unless I want to be called a liar I should sort myself out.

2:25 am

sad about the England cricket tour

2:26 am

Very sad. However, on current form it avoids a complete whitewash!

2:26 am

I know :P sneaky, eh?

2:26 am

If all else fails, run.

2:27 am

one shouldn't laugh in the current circumstances in India, but ....!

2:28 am

They think the hotels have been booby trapped.

2:29 am

oh great. this somehow is worse than other attacks, because it's like watching a train wresck. you just know it's going to get worse

fireworks

Very scary Ata.

2:42 am

This is mine and hubby's song being murdered

2:43 am

that recording was bloody awful1

2:43 am

he can actually sing it quite well!

2:43 am

Well AtaSmitten, how was the cocker rescue.... ***giggling uproariously***

2:43 am

BBL come to a grinding halt

2:43 am

he complimented Hobbit :D he said she was beautiful

2:43 am

Oh please!!!

2:43 am

This one is ironic

2:43 am

He does have good taste sometimes then

2:43 am

See ya' in a little while Lynx.

2:44 am

bye lynxxx

2:46 am

bluewater!

2:46 am

He is right about that, we really don't care about his sexuality, he does have a good attitude on that

2:47 am

absolutely

2:47 am

you were the one panting Ata weren't you!

2:47 am

and he's right, there was everyone there. but! about 95% women and 5% men

2:47 am

I thought that Katie

2:47 am

one teenaged girlie nearly fainted when she met him. really!

2:50 am

she had to grab onto the table to stop falling over

2:51 am

Since all stars and famous people are untouchable for us mere mortals, their sexuality is irrelevant to our fantasy. :p

2:52 am

as fanfic writers take full advantage of

2:52 am

that wasn't very grammatical

2:53 am

I don't know what fanfic is

2:53 am

lucky you!

2:53 am

LOL Aat

2:53 am

lots of (mainly) teenaged girls writing stories involving characters from (eg) lord of the rings, harry potter, etc

2:53 am

Oops - Ata

2:53 am

their imaginations can be very vivid. especially adult-written fanfic

2:53 am

I get some babble time this morning as the motorway is shut and I don't know how to get to work

2:54 am

Ahhhh now it makes sense

2:54 am

stay home! work from home!

2:54 am

you get threesomes involving Gandalf, a hobbit, and an orc. etc.

2:55 am

it is the last day of the company and we are going out for lunch. more importantly I have the bosses leaving pressie

2:55 am

Just stay home Katie, you deserve a long weekend.

2:55 am

daga is a word. it is tagalog for rat

2:55 am

hmmmm. annoying!

2:56 am

that is dagu I thought of buying two recently

2:56 am

Enable doesn't recognise German and you want tagalog?

2:56 am

daga is rat (plural) then

2:56 am

because mga daga means lots of rats

That's degu, Katie...

2:57 am

lol ata. decided with 3 cats that 2 degu were not a good idea. sorry monkey you are right

2:57 am

but they were ok with Fuggy!

2:58 am

.......and other unmentionable words!

2:58 am

Fuggy came first and they would have eaten him if they could have got to him

2:59 am

little monsters! I was looking through your facebook pics, I hadn't realised how beautiful Rhubarb is

2:59 am

Isn't she. Crumble is the cutest in terms of temperament though

2:59 am

OK, I'm off to dive into the mess called home. Have a good day and if I get fed up with housework I shall return. Bye.

Bye Frances!

3:00 am

Have a good one Frances.

3:00 am

bye Frances

3:00 am

bye frances!

3:00 am

I must show pics of Rhubarb to sister. She had ab identical looking cat. except fatter

3:01 am

....back. That didn't take long. No, seriously, I'm going.

3:01 am

Crumble is on a diet but the other two are ok weight wise

3:01 am

Lol Frances

3:02 am

Lily was a huge cat. Not so much fat really as *big*. But she slimmed down to weigh only 3lb when she was dying - she got thyroid cancer, poor babe

3:03 am

bless

3:03 am

crumble is on my lap now makes it difficult to type

3:03 am

awwww

3:03 am

hobbit is pesting at me. it's walkies time

3:04 am

she puts her front paws up on my chair arm and either just *gazes* at me, or paws at me. she makes her wishes very clear!

3:04 am

Hobbits internal clock is working well. :)

3:05 am

she's really quite good at that. the BST to GMT change always confuses her for a few days though, that's always amusing

evening all :)

Hi Mr. P!!!

3:06 am

HI mr p, haven't seen you for ages, how did the move go?

Glad to hear it!

Very pleased to hear it! I once moved into a flat, hated it and put it back on the market next day!

hmmmm, is this one more difficult that I thought?

3:09 am

boy you must have really hated it hydra

oh hydra! that would have been awful!

all that moving in and out... no fun there

3:09 am

I have only got 39 so far mr p

I have 67 but that is all there are.

3:10 am

It was horrendous. The people upstairs were like a herd of elephants. The carpet was full of moth grubs and the cupboard had hidden dry rot!

Ewwwww!

3:10 am

lol Mg

3:10 am

an expensive horrendous

There are DEFINITLEY only 7 b's.

3:11 am

I've only got two of them!

I have been getting so so many stories from people renting about how bad the market is... nothing is being repaired and they are miserable in their homes. It has become very bad here

3:12 am

I've always had bad luck with buying property. In my first, there was a dope-dealing bass guitar player who strummed at 4 am when I had to get up for walk next morning. The second was under the Concorde flight path. Another had criminals and knife fights next door. And those were in GOOD areas of London like Muswell Hill!

3:12 am

I'm thinking of renting soon so I can get my belongings out of storage. No room for them in my boyfriend's house. Then I'll divide my time between my place and his.

3:12 am

thank goodness Crumble has moved my arms were killing me

3:13 am

It's not nice having your stuff away hydra you have my sympathy

3:13 am

Aah! Bless him. Maybe you need a cat sling round your neck. No, it's not good and it costs £200 a month.

Well, have to walk the dog and do the shopping and hit the post office before getting Waltyer-- school is a half day on Fridays at his age. Have fun everyone!

3:14 am

Bye Mlonkey!

3:15 am

Sorry, Katie. Bless her!

3:15 am

Just checked and found Crumble is a girl cat.

3:16 am

don't worry about it hydra she doesn't take offense. As hubby said the other day "there isn't a bad bone in her"

3:17 am

Flad refused his breakfast this morning. We're wondering what, or who, he ate in the night!

3:18 am

Just can't find the ar4. How stupid can I be?

3:19 am

Got it now. Doh!

I have never seen an 's' in a grid be so underused for a plural!

3:21 am

Good point, mrp. You're right.

3:26 am

Motorway not opening till 12pm I could be going to places i've never been before to get to work!

3:30 am

this is such a mean grid, I still only have 43 words!

3:31 am

why is it closed, Katie? Accident?

3:32 am

yep 4 lorries and a van. I have an alternative route which takes me on futher up but it is closed there as well. Might have to go via Derby which is a very long way for a short cut

3:33 am

Good luck! I shall be passing through Derby soon by train to visit friend in Cromford

3:34 am

I don't mean soon as in today. A few weeks' time.

3:34 am

Derby station is horrible I hope you don't have to get off the train!

3:34 am

Yes, to change to local line. It's not as bad as Reading station.

3:36 am

Derby is just very dark as there are problems with the concrete so all the pillars are wrapped

3:36 am

At Reading, you have to charge up and down steep flights of stairs with all your luggage when they change the platform at the last minute. I got food poisoning there from a sandwich I bought, and the ticket machine only spat out half my ticket to Cornwall so I was in trouble!

3:37 am

There are some places to which you never want to go again! Now I go into Paddington and out again.

3:38 am

I can see why Reading is not your favourite station hydra

3:39 am

Well, must go. Hope you get to work all right, Katie.

3:41 am

Good morning/evening all.

3:41 am

Thanks hydra see you later

3:42 am

morning haz

3:42 am

I'm going for a shower, see you all shortly

3:42 am

Hello Katie -enjoy the shower.

3:43 am

fireworks

3:43 am

Congratulations bf.

3:44 am

ty haz

3:50 am

G'd morning Haz, bf, anyone I missed.

3:50 am

Good morning Lori(Canada) How are you?

3:50 am

Oops, congratulations bf!

3:51 am

I'm evil as always, and you? :p

3:51 am

Wicked.

3:52 am

You've been busy lately, are things more leisurely today?

3:52 am

Yes, I can afford a little more time although I still have things to do.

3:53 am

Has Ata come down to earth yet after her JB encounter?

3:53 am

No. Hopelessly floating...

3:54 am

I don't think she'll land until some time next week.

3:54 am

We'll get FM on fire hose duty if she gets too bad.

3:55 am

She's been on a training course to improve her aim. FM was always enthusiastic but lacked accuracy in the past.

3:56 am

lol I'm sure. Is Babble paying for the course, or is she footing the bill?

3:56 am

It's in Babble's best interests so Dr-G has agreed to pay. I suppose you could say that the next few who sign up will be paying.

3:57 am

Pro-dom comes with a price - the opportunity to be hosed down by FM.

3:58 am

What's your strategy with this grid, Lori? I've resorted to a kind of stealth - I pretend I'm not looking and the words kind of reveal themselves. But they're slow....

I think the avearge price for a pro dom depends on the part of the country, but here it's s couple hundred dollars per hour ;)

4:00 am

I'm feeling very random today, thus that's my approach. With that in mind, I can delude myself in to thinking I don't have 15 words left....

4:00 am

:D @ Samantha

4:02 am

Random seems to be working for you, in that case.

4:03 am

Yesterday's grid was an esteem killer. I bailed to the list with 50 odd left, and...wow, good thing I did. Some weird words.

4:03 am

It was very strange, I agree.

4:12 am

nag y

4:13 am

G'd morning kkiln. :)

4:26 am

Not quite finished yet, but I've changed my icon.

4:29 am

Yowsa! Monkeyed a CRAZY go 4/8 6/18 combo. Ack

4:30 am

Nicely done on 'yer av Haz.

4:30 am

Thank you, thank you.

4:31 am

11 left, and they're certainly not leaping at me by any stretch of the imagination.

4:33 am

No, kind of staging a 'catch me if you can' scenario.

4:37 am

dr 6 -- one who organized a quarter-miler

4:38 am

lolol, better than how I'd'a' clued it

4:38 am

G'd morning BR

4:38 am

Hello, Lori

4:39 am

Good morning BabbleRabble.

4:39 am

Hello, Haz

4:41 am

This grid has everything. Music, executions, babblets, medical priorities, Japanese words, French words. And that blessed eagle's nest. All life is here.

4:42 am

hi 8 -- add a tatter and movie: Night of the Igu***

4:43 am

Clawed my way down to 9, and am fearinf gor my mental health at this point.

4:44 am

ir 5 --- sounds like what the FBI might do at an opthamologist's office

4:44 am

You are a woman of tenacity. I caved at 16. You have checked for plurals?

4:44 am

I'd also love to stop trying adroit as my last a word.

4:44 am

except no volcano

4:44 am

It would have been lovely, wouldn't it?

4:44 am

Was that some kind of dig, or friendly advice? :p

4:45 am

Hello Ata! No volcano, you're right. There's such a thing as overkill.

4:45 am

Hobbit's spent already? wb Ata

4:45 am

Friendly advice? From me?

4:45 am

ai 6 -- past tense

4:45 am

yep, it's raining lol

4:45 am

Yes, ai6 - the pilot's mascot

4:46 am

Ahh, that explains it. :D

4:46 am

Doh !

4:46 am

bo 5 -- larger version of the bo 4

4:47 am

***stomps to the back of the room in disgust***

4:47 am

I love that Beowulf's mead hall is a word. That makes me happy

4:47 am

It's not raining, Ata. That's FM manning the fire hose. She'll turn nasty if you seem to be getting past yourself with JB talk.

4:47 am

I've hardly mentioned him! *gasp* but did you look at the pretty pics?

4:48 am

I've always thought FM stood for FireMan

4:48 am

Very pretty pics.

4:48 am

Lori(Canada) has finally figured it out (good one!)

4:48 am

I am still immensely smug though cos he said my Hobbit was lovely

4:49 am

Let's think about this. Would he say anything else to a woman with a crazed look in her eye?

4:49 am

***cocker rescue giggle moment***

4:49 am

And you already knew that he was partial to the breed.

4:49 am

*crushed*

4:50 am

6 away from my first fireworks!!!!!!!!!1

4:50 am

A bigger test would have been a picture of a Chinese hairless. You'd have known for sure that he was lying.

4:50 am

Go Veru!

4:50 am

Or is it a Mexican hairless? One of those baldy things anyway.

4:50 am

need help pls da 4/7, da 5/16

4:51 am

da4/7 - nasty name for a foreigner.

4:51 am

da + opposite of stop, then plural

4:52 am

good morning beautiful babblers... happy babbling

4:52 am

HOWEVER, we know that Hobbit is lovely. It was a given that he would think so, otherwise we'd think he was blind or deluded.

4:52 am

got em!

4:52 am

Good morning oodle.

4:52 am

G'd morning oodle

4:53 am

go 5/18 and he 4/7 pls

4:53 am

***puts dark chocolate with almonds on the table***

4:53 am

ha 6 -- add cartoon: ha*** the horrible and a vowel

4:53 am

go5 is a plural

4:54 am

he4/7 - a garden plant. he plus to ** or not to **

4:54 am

***puts other sinful snacks on the table...(uh the ones that make you fat)...giggles***

4:54 am

4:59 am

Or na4/5 - a type of ointment (spike****)

4:59 am

I admire a big package. With that, my ribs and I must wake the spawnlings. BBL

4:59 am

See you later Lori!

5:00 am

yeah ver

5:01 am

hero

5:01 am

miss sarah richards, how many words do you have?

5:01 am

I actually heard Babble's congrats as a kind of tuning up for a choir/barbershop.

5:01 am

thanks to all if anyone needs help I'll be up for about a half hour too excited to sleep now!!!!

5:02 am

***explative***

5:02 am

loooool yes

5:02 am

Nixon always deleted his expletives as well.

5:02 am

wtg ver

5:03 am

well, was a sincere congrats

5:03 am

Oh, I know, Babble, I wasn't intending to say anything wrong about it.

5:05 am

*sings Bad Horse Chorsu quietly to self*

5:05 am

*chorus

5:06 am

Oh, I thought you might have been unpacking the parcel. Could it contain John Barrowman?

5:07 am

It does come from America!

5:08 am

Ooooh!

5:08 am

but I can't open it cos I know it contains Christmas stuff

5:09 am

Morning all Lovely pics of JB Ata, morning Haz and BR :)

5:09 am

Oh well. You'll have to contain yourself for a while. Is Hobbit interested?

5:10 am

she will be when I open it, cos it'll smell of Ayla's dog

5:10 am

she's too busy sleeping at the moment

5:10 am

Good morning FMitch! Ata thought it was raining, I've told her that it's you on fire hose duty (Lori(Canada) reckons that FM stands for fireman) and you'll turn nasty if she waxes too lyrical about you know who.

5:11 am

hello, FM

5:11 am

I take it Hobbit and Ayla's dog haven't met yet?

5:11 am

lol trust Lori

5:11 am

nooooo ... one day they will though, I'm sure. Ro would benefit from having Hobbit around actually, she might calm him down a bit

5:12 am

Hobbit as a calming influence? Ro must be VERY bouncy.

5:13 am

It looks like a 'intersting' grid today wy too many vowels.

5:13 am

FM Financial Management

5:13 am

he's a 18month old heeeler / collie mix

5:13 am

A good one, Babble.

5:13 am

That explains everything, Ata.

5:14 am

BR's suggestion is preferable to being a fireman

5:14 am

didn't think I needed to say more

5:14 am

Fundamentally Mad could be another one

5:14 am

or fiscal management

5:15 am

If you specialised in sorting out the affairs of firemen you could be FMFM.

5:15 am

fleetwood mac

5:15 am

LOL!

5:15 am

Branch out to sea and you could look after fishermen. FMFMFM

5:16 am

Football Managers! They earn lots of money... FMFMFMFM.

5:16 am

goodnight all and enjoy the grid :)

5:16 am

Haz is on a roll

5:17 am

Night Veruca, and well done on fireworks.

5:17 am

be well

5:17 am

etc until we get to FM98.5 or some radio station

5:18 am

fibber mcgee

5:18 am

Husband picked up his new car yesterday. Now comes a month of him trying to work out how things work without consulting any instruction booklets.

5:19 am

OK this is not finding words **does a graceful dive into the pool* Why is it me refuse to read instructions or maps?

5:19 am

doesn't it come with instructions??!

5:20 am

Reading instructions takes away the fun out of poking and opening and pressing buttons to see what they do.

5:20 am

ohhhh. yes very true

5:21 am

He happily reads maps, but not instructions. PHone...

5:22 am

well at least he's useful for one thing

5:23 am

I'm back.

5:23 am

Ata meant to ask - what was JB actually signing - book or CD?

5:24 am

CD

5:24 am

Was the CD playing in the background?

5:24 am

ohhhhhh yes. all blooming afternoon

5:25 am

Did people sing along?

5:26 am

one of the M&S staff girls did. It was cringeworthy

5:26 am

I mean, it's one thing to show a picture of your cocker spaniel, true fans show their devotion by singing along.

5:26 am

Maybe the M&S girl thought it was X factor or something.

5:26 am

there are nearly all old songs on the CD. too old for me to know the words

5:27 am

*shakes head in Ata's direction*

5:27 am

Ah, the old songs are the best. (Thinking wistfully of the singsongs during the Blitz)

5:28 am

some were even from the 70s!

5:28 am

*perks up*

5:28 am

As long ago as that?

5:29 am

yep!

5:29 am

I've got a mental picture of FM in her turquoise dungarees again.

5:29 am

FM - funky mama!

5:30 am

Those were the days when she would bo5/20 on down to the disco.

5:30 am

the fav photo I've got of my mother is her wheeling me somewhere in a pram, I was just a few weeks ago, but it was a proper old-fashioned pram, and she was wearing a skinny rib bright green jumper and AWFUL bright yellow flares

5:31 am

and now of course we want to see the pic :)

5:31 am

It sounds pretty normal for the seventies.

5:32 am

uh-oh -- I just bought a bright green cardi though I don't have any yellow pants

5:32 am

Evening Lynxxx :)

5:32 am

I hadn't got a copy on my laptop *sigh* otherwise I'd show you!

5:32 am

Well, get some, lynxxx. Fashions always come around.

5:33 am

hi FM & Haz

5:33 am

hi lynx!

5:33 am

Evening lynxxx.

5:33 am

Can't believe I have just spent a couple of mins typing s words and then checked the tile stats - this does not bode well!

5:34 am

loooool

5:34 am

I hate starting the grid late, it really throws me

5:34 am

Anyway, time for me to do other things. I'll be back later. Happy babbling to all.

5:35 am

bye Haz

5:35 am

Bye Haz TTFN

5:36 am

Bye!

5:36 am

law of diminishing returns, perhaps

5:36 am

Oh, and check my icon, FM, although it's for an a. Byee!

5:37 am

G'd morning again

5:37 am

Thank you for the icon clue, Haz!

5:38 am

hello, lynxxx

5:38 am

hi Lori

5:40 am

FM, the grid is poopy, after 100 words. :/

5:40 am

morning, all. I'm doing Babble quickly today. Lots of cooking to do...

5:40 am

yes, it is

5:40 am

hi Angel

5:40 am

G'd morning Angel

5:40 am

I've only just started Lori and it's poopy already

5:40 am

I did not find a single scatological word

5:41 am

hmmph, SOME people have 100 words

5:41 am

but the chat has been fun

5:41 am

Well, you don'ty have my level of expertise in poopy grid assessmernt BR.

5:42 am

Maybe I'll just chat, and skip the last 8 then. That would be redeeming. :D

5:42 am

So true BR but none the less the general feeling is such.

5:43 am

henry viii's form of divorce

5:43 am

but there is some dried mucus

5:44 am

*passes BR a wetwipe* ;)

5:44 am

maybe no scatological, but one mucosal-ish

5:44 am

BR thinks it's funny, but its snot. :O

5:45 am

groans!

5:45 am

***tough room*** :p

5:47 am

Well, I lost that round of chat Russian roulette

5:48 am

was distracted, battling with the r's

5:48 am

lol sorry, overwhelmed by the idea of 4 more Gs to find

5:49 am

I'm only missing 1 g, 2 r's.

6:05 am

6:05 am

bye Aloy - have fun

6:06 am

It's a combo Merk. ga + a method of learning

6:06 am

***ribs ... aching ... again***

7:49 am

hi herin

Snap on the soaking in brandy Flosey

7:49 am

and frangelico

7:49 am

'looked'

7:49 am

The one my mom makes (and I made once) is mostly pecans.

7:49 am

dried fruit in a cake is lovely as it absorbs the flavours

7:50 am

if you use rum oodle try "appleton estates dark spiced rum"

7:50 am

yum I LOVE pecazns

7:50 am

i have appletons

I don't have to worry about that Christmas day stuff. We pay the relatives

7:50 am

but not spiced...

7:50 am

lol, I always soak the fruit in brandy way ahead of time - don't have to age it as long

7:50 am

The recipe actually called it Texas Pecan Candy cake... and I use rum instead of brandy. =)

7:50 am

my brother has about 30 pounds of pecans from the trees on his property

7:51 am

i am going over to steal some

OH KJE wonderful yummie

7:51 am

i only have a cell phone and the computer dsl - gave up a landline with the move... decided to see what it would be like since lots of young people do it... no sense anymore to have both

7:56 am

the base service is more than your long distance charges with bell:(

7:57 am

what about 911 serivce with skype kje?

7:57 am

oh who suggested the other day to get a cell phone cause I missed a call from a prospective employer?

7:57 am

i did oodle

7:57 am

well I did

7:57 am

911 on cell phone if needed (as i did when broke ankle) - works fine

I only have my mobile and a portable internet as we have only one carrier in the house and they suc

7:58 am

so now I have more mobility

7:58 am

and with skype?..i hear that 911 cannot trace the call if you cannot speak

7:58 am

good stuff oodle

Good Oodle make sure it works for you not the other way round

7:59 am

i only use skype for overseas stuff, mostly.... my cell phone for everything else

7:59 am

ahh

7:59 am

cute icon pic herin

8:00 am

cause the lowest i can get my bell bill(and this is making NO long distance calls) is $44.00

KJE i understand that. My mobile has 500 min free to other users of the same carrier. Since the b.f is on the same and so is my g.f it works

8:00 am

ok what is the dif tween skyp and msn ... you can do the same with msn though

Thanks KJE

8:01 am

skype allows you to talk, msn is just instant messaging, unless it has changed

Yep. I use msn to natter to my friends (typing) I dont ahve skype.

8:01 am

skype is completely free... and can talk and use camera also if you want

8:02 am

you CAN send 2 minute voive packets via msn now..but i wouldnt use it for extended voice chat

8:02 am

but I think you can do that with msn too

8:02 am

skype operates voice wise exactly like a phone

8:02 am

ima gonna google skype im thinking

SKype is like a phone. MSN is good to type chat

8:03 am

via the camera... it is like the person is there - a friends kid did the shabbat blessing the other day via skype from denmark... his dad held the computer and would point it around so that the kid could see evryone - it was funny

8:04 am

and of course, we could see him

8:06 am

the world is getting smaller and smaller via technology, it is amazing

8:06 am

8:09 am

8:10 am

8:11 am

be even greater if he did not have to go there in the first place

8:11 am

right BabRab

8:11 am

i also have friends that watch movies together over the internet while in different countries... they make a movie date, upload from netflix simultaneously, then chat via skype to comment while watching - like they were actually together

8:12 am

i agree BR - hopefully obama will get them out soon

8:12 am

amazing really isn't it kj, better than being in the movie where you have to be quiet!

8:13 am

10:07 am

any clues for the 7s/8?

10:08 am

hiya Monkey

10:08 am

10:08 am

10:12 am

HE 7/36 is past tense of HE 5/12 - a major organ in the human body

10:12 am

In my attempt to get this house in order (it is a small apartment) after 4 months of trying to not kill my back further, is it wrong of me to keep this one toy? It's a baby toy. Walter never plays with it. It was given to uys by the person we bought our stroller form while I was pregnant. It's a little red pony I named Steinbecks. Anyway, the person who gave it to us turned out to be his radiologist later while he was critical at two days old. Someone tell me it's not silly to keep it...

10:36 am

yesssss

10:36 am

well, i ** done.. and if noone wants a clue, i have to do dishes..

10:37 am

Thanks. I also kept this seriously annoying toy that he never uses that is the only thing ever given to him by the grandfather he's named after, who has Alzheimer's.

10:38 am

those are the sort of things that it's *important* to keep

10:38 am

Now that's also an idea pini... but most likely it'll find its way into some sort of sculpture sometime...

10:38 am

SPIDERS ATA

11:35 am

I'm kidding. Torture is so unseemly. Besides, tickling is much more effective.

11:35 am

hmmm. anyone know anything caring to say about spiderphobia?

11:35 am

Oooh. Spiders. This one will take a lot of work.

11:35 am

No, but I probably wouldn't share them anyhow

11:36 am

I was surprised with myself when I asked for prayer for my granddaughter last June...I just did the first thing I could think of

11:36 am

Caring things about spiderphobia? You're not alone!

11:36 am

Don't watch the movie "Arachnaphobia". That will give anyone nightmares.

11:36 am

Was that the little girl in Hong Kong?

11:37 am

share if you want, don't if you don't. we care anyway *nods wisely*

11:37 am

Never! Judi, can't stand crawly things...won't even watch Charlottes web

11:37 am

Thanks Ata

11:37 am

Wow, Phae. You've got it bad!

11:37 am

Charlotte's web is good

11:37 am

I care, but not enough to listen to the moanathons without wanting to strangle people.

Looking for my last 11

11:40 am

T's...D's...and R's

11:41 am

How many DA words? Or did I ask that already?

11:41 am

I'm feeling very thrifty this year. I'm thinking of going to the Dollar Store to buy my Christmas cards.

11:41 am

OKay, what subject will we talk about?

11:41 am

Judi...send Ecards

11:41 am

don't think I could stand shopping today.. too brutal

11:41 am

I met John Barrowman yesterday! Did y'all know that???!!

11:42 am

Who?

11:42 am

(John Barrowman is an actor/singer who appears in Dr WHo)

11:42 am

Mmm. I'm not a big fan of e-cards. I like to make the postal employees work.

11:42 am

LOL Ata, did you get his autograph?

11:42 am

Ok, pay their salaries...that are already inflated

11:42 am

Ata is very keen on him. She's the next best thing to being a stalker, if truth be told.

11:43 am

Dr. WHo who?

11:43 am

Do I detect a note of ... SMUGNESS in your tone, Ata????

11:43 am

no, that's Lizsark. She's the real Barrowman stalker!

11:43 am

wonder what his partner would think of that?

11:43 am

time to get some work done - bye all

11:43 am

Dr Who - BBC series that's been going on for decades. Sci-fi stuff.

11:43 am

Bye wv.

11:44 am

smug? moi??!!

11:44 am

Watched an episode of Extras where Ricky Gervais played a "space serpent" on Dr. Who. Very funny. Think Dr. Who is silly though. Very low budget.

11:44 am

Nobody has ever called Ata smug before. I'm confused.

11:44 am

Ok,thanks Haz

11:45 am

not any more!

11:45 am

It's true, Haz. She plays all innocent, but in reality - smug-o-rama.

11:45 am

It's a veritable smugasboard.

11:46 am

of course!

11:46 am

But she's a bearable smug. Others aren't.

11:46 am

Stoopid internet connection !! Ata you are not smug are you?

11:46 am

*GROAN* hi all...

11:46 am

hey all - poofing back in....

11:46 am

smug? moi? omg-i-met-john-barrowman-*SMUG*!

11:46 am

I suppose you don't get to be Einstein's granddaughter without a little bit of smugness sticking.

11:47 am

((((((stid))))))) Hi, how are you?

11:47 am

Hello stid. Are you ill?

11:47 am

hey trifioso! how was yesterday!

11:47 am

hey haz... ill?

11:47 am

Hi Tri

11:47 am

I tease because I love.

11:47 am

But Ata. Is John Barrowman similarly smug today. 'I met Atalante from Babble yesterday!'

11:47 am

awesome! Totally relaxing, just wonderful. Okay, so I am only DYING to know how the john barrowman experience went....

11:47 am

I love to tease

11:47 am

Because you were groaning, stid.

11:48 am

*faint* you met JOHN BARROWMAN!!!! *sigh*

11:48 am

How many R/6's?

11:48 am

I should hope he is!

11:48 am

oh. well, I am a little ill from all the smugness floating around.

11:48 am

Settle back. Ata is about to go into smugasphere.

11:48 am

OMG, you met him???? Wait til I tell my friend Amy, she is going to or6

11:48 am

see? Stid understands!

11:48 am

and if John isn't smug from meeting our Atalante, then he's not worth the effort

11:48 am

Just one r 6.

11:49 am

*SMUGWORLD*

11:49 am

The feeling will pass, Stid... like a methane cloud.

11:49 am

She still hasnt told me if she got his autograph

11:49 am

yes, I did. And an autograph for Lizsark too

11:49 am

ty Haz

11:49 am

She used a photograph of Hobbit. That innocent dog, used as a ploy.

11:49 am

and he complimented my Hobbit

11:49 am

no autograph for me??? *sad look*

11:50 am

ohhhhh heaven!

11:50 am

tricksy :D

11:50 am

You're welcome, phae.

11:50 am

liz asked first :P

11:50 am

Was he suitably impressed that you were a second generation product of the fruit of Einstein's loins?

11:50 am

When will you sell it on e-bay, Ata?

11:51 am

*gasp* I shall treasure it forever!

11:51 am

Ooooh yes, did you tell him about Grandpa?

11:51 am

One RH word?

11:51 am

einstein's fruit-of-the-looms??? atalante? *puzzled look*

11:51 am

yes, one rh fish. or bird...

11:51 am

Just one, phaeton.

11:51 am

ty stid...and hello

11:51 am

no, no I didn't. we were too busy discussing cockers

11:52 am

Dogs??

11:52 am

LOL, Cait. Perverted mind.

11:53 am

He was on TV this morning and Im sure he mentioned you Ata

11:53 am

we are watching the local TV... stidkid#1 will be on soon. with his H.S. band.

11:53 am

he has a baby versio of Hobbit: http://tinyurl.com/5gx26a

11:53 am

Did he sing this morning?

11:54 am

Look for the least tall trumpet player...

11:54 am

yes, much to katie's disgust

11:54 am

Oh, how sweet, Ata. He can call you for puppy raising tips. Swanky cocktail parties are in your future at his estate, no doubt.

11:55 am

puppy sitting is likely too

11:55 am

phone.back in a mo

11:55 am

cute pups!

11:55 am

The dogs are sweet. But do assure Hobbit, that in the words of the song 'Nothing compares to you'

11:56 am

well, let's be honest... one Hobbit = 100 other dogs. of any breed.

11:56 am

of course! oh - his ex-black cocker was gorgeous *finds pic*

11:56 am

Now hold on, stidmama. Spangle is in the room.

11:57 am

oh, well that's easy to fix... one Spangle = 10 Hobbit.

11:57 am

And she's looking downright woebegone at such a suggestion.

11:57 am

this is how I knew he'd love HObbit: http://tinyurl.com/5pdwsw

11:57 am

stopping now while I still have a head...

11:57 am

Spangle is worth at least 120 other dogs

11:57 am

Uh oh. Battle of the celebrity K-9s.

11:57 am

in the PB< stid

11:57 am

You're good at getting out of tricky situations, stid.

12:01 pm

12:08 pm

12:09 pm

O, you're not wasting time doing something to twilight, are you?

12:09 pm

good morning all

12:09 pm

yes, it's hard. too many vowels, too many the same to be easy

12:09 pm

Well, you know, back sucks. It's just going to do that, apparrently. But otherwise OK. I sent my open application letter to a friend for proofreading (about that place I would LOVE to work), and she said it was really excellent, so I'm right pleased about that. Letters are entirely different here... and not just by dint of beingin Dutch.

12:19 pm

that's wondeful, inge! must have been nice to have that vantage point.

12:20 pm

12:22 pm

The other one is somewhere a man doesn't want to be kicked... but just one of them.

12:22 pm

3:37 pm

* pondering ... where can I find a sugardaddy *

3:40 pm

...that means I can check it out, I'm single ;)

3:40 pm

oh ... dont do that!!!

3:40 pm

well you could bind him up and put him in the basement and then be freer to meet a sugardaddy

3:40 pm

thats ok then.

3:41 pm

havent got a basement though!!!!

3:41 pm

got any potholes in your streets?

3:44 pm

Hi, all! Hmm...this grid looks...hmm.

3:44 pm

I have this idea I'm going to rethink the "sugardaddy" aspect though

3:44 pm

Oh right, Pini. And she doesn't need to dispose of a sourdaddy.

3:45 pm

unithorn ... a bit tricky today!!

3:45 pm

been there, done that, vi

3:45 pm

Did you use the basement method?

3:45 pm

I wish!

3:46 pm

or the attic?

3:46 pm

People do have a tendency to ask awkward questions about that, though.

3:46 pm

Sadly, neither...however, I did see him a few weeks ago when he came to see my dau for her 22nd birthday...

3:46 pm

...first time in over 14 years...

3:47 pm

de6 - honey, lovie, sweetie

3:59 pm

de6 ... add 2 vowels to previous word.

3:59 pm

sorry...I meant dr6,please

3:59 pm

dr6 ... add 2 vowels to end of previous word.

4:00 pm

dr6 - dr4 + double vowel

4:00 pm

mo - wonder how many words that exact clue works for

4:00 pm

at least 2 so far

4:01 pm

lol.

4:02 pm

4:05 pm

Yo guys :-]

4:05 pm

Hi Sheimi.

4:07 pm

4:08 pm

thats ok ... glad you got it.

4:08 pm

ty, again

4:08 pm

yw.

4:09 pm

back with lunch

4:09 pm

anything nice Pini?

4:10 pm

chili and rice

4:10 pm

lunch??? what time zone are you in? I'm thinking happy hour!

4:10 pm

with tomatoes, onions and sour cream

4:10 pm

mmmm .... nice....

4:10 pm

it's 2:10pm here

4:10 pm

I'm just starting my day (it's 1415 here)

4:11 pm

go Unit go!!!

4:11 pm

10.10pm here.

4:11 pm

I was thinking you were east coast pini

4:11 pm

my kinda guy (gal)

4:11 pm

nah, I'm west coast, kje ;)

4:11 pm

1611 here and I will be leaving soon to meet friends for margaritas

4:12 pm

Ooh...margaritas! Sounds good.

4:12 pm

margaritas, chips, salsa, and great grilled meats and grilled veggies

4:13 pm

it is all about the chips salsa and tequila as far as i am concerned

4:13 pm

El Toritos?

4:13 pm

el toritos?

4:13 pm

<-- doesn't do Takillya anymore...

4:13 pm

it's a restaurant out there that has that kind of happy hour

4:14 pm

See, I can't find a good mix. Any place here that makes a good margarita has mediocre food, and the best places for mexican food either don't sell booze or make watery margaritas....no justice in the world.

4:14 pm

never heard of it pini - must be an oregon thing (and they no nothing about mexican : )

4:14 pm

too much food and booze at this time of night.

4:14 pm

we don't, kje?

4:14 pm

I think you'd be surprised! ;)

4:14 pm

where is here uni?

4:14 pm

know nothing, i mean

4:15 pm

West Coast

4:15 pm

pini - when i moved to MD, everyone was convinced they knew the best little mexican place - NOT!

4:15 pm

Unit is down the road from me by about 3 hours!

4:15 pm

Oh, I didn't say we had the best...but we do have some pretty decent authentic places...

4:15 pm

must make my quiet exit ... goodnight all.

4:15 pm

what is acceptable up there generally is not in CA, AZ, NM, or TX

4:16 pm

...but like Unit said, nothing that has both good drink and good food...

4:16 pm

Acutally, I've had some decent Mexican while here in Oregon...and anyone that's had REAL Mexican knows the difference.

4:16 pm

Night mo.

4:16 pm

GN mo - sorry for the ing=digestion this late at night! take some zantac and sleep well - LOL

4:16 pm

nite mo!

4:16 pm

hi guys! popping in at the end of the work day for a few words...

4:16 pm

lol ... I will byeee....

4:16 pm

that was suppose to say indigestion - my typing is unusually bad tonight, even for me

4:17 pm

4:19 pm

4:19 pm

4:20 pm

ob4 - woodwind

4:20 pm

I didn't go snooping, kje!

4:20 pm

green head?

4:20 pm

og4 - og + double vowel

4:20 pm

what are you talking about?

4:20 pm

oh4 - sounds like a US state sorta

4:20 pm

or4 - or + what TV shows are interrupted by

4:20 pm

ob4 = muscial insrument

4:20 pm

or5 - o + re4

4:20 pm

ugh... maybe this was a bad idea... i really didn't want to be at work today and this requires using my brain too

4:21 pm

your icon head is green pini

4:21 pm

but this is fun brain usage, sean

4:21 pm

thank you everybody

4:21 pm

it's purple...genderless...cuz I don't care much for pink heads and I can't get blue without being a guy! ;(

4:21 pm

pini - you have an androgynous fisher toy head

4:22 pm

very true... but i'm just ready to go home

4:22 pm

no, it looks green to me... def not purple

4:22 pm

Sean - go home

4:22 pm

ok ok ... I'll go normal! ;)

4:22 pm

I noticed that...bothersome. I don't like pink either, which is my sudden and new brilliant excuse for drinking strawberry margaritas so quickly. Get rid of thie pink!

4:22 pm

*hasn't REALLY woke up yet*

4:23 pm

beter?

4:23 pm

4:24 pm

ea5 = excited, zealous

4:33 pm

sorry...not the clue...the snow!!! ;)

4:33 pm

but good clue!

4:33 pm

We have lots, Pini, with another 3-6 inches expected by the AM.

4:33 pm

Pini - We had frost down here the other night, as in enough to need to scrape my windshield with a credit card at 0600...my Alaskan roots laughed at myself for being annoyed with it.

4:33 pm

Help with the Y's?

4:34 pm

You're from AK, Unit...I lived up there for 3 years!

4:34 pm

*laughing about improvising with a credit card**

4:34 pm

ya5 = (Y)Ja***meister (alcohol)

4:34 pm

TY, Pini

4:34 pm

ya = ya + Government Issue

4:35 pm

Scrab...think BooBoo's friend that talking about pikanik baskets...but slightly different

4:35 pm

And TY again.

4:35 pm

it's rather amazing what one can do with a credit card!!!

4:36 pm

Where in AK, Unit?

4:36 pm

I need another N--I have the one meaning zilch/nothing

4:36 pm

You probably haven't heard of it, microdot of a town called Healy.

4:36 pm

n + a**vark

4:37 pm

TY, Pini

4:37 pm

You're right...but then again I was there when I was little...

4:37 pm

...lived just outside Fairbanks.

4:37 pm

yw scrabs

4:37 pm

Where were you, Pini?

4:37 pm

Ft. Wainright

4:39 pm

Been there, lol. I lived about two hours south of fbx, we went there for groceries/hospital/dentists/fast food/so on. The better half grew up in fbxs...I still have friends up there of course, but yeah I know ft. wainright.

4:39 pm

I was there when the Chena River overflowed...

4:40 pm

...back in, I think, '69?

4:41 pm

Oh, okay. I'm like "WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER THAT?"...but I didn't pop into existence until 1986.

4:41 pm

Well, that WOULD make sense...you're my dau's age then (25?)

4:41 pm

Uni, you are a young 'un.

4:41 pm

How many words today?

4:42 pm

alot! ..

4:42 pm

22, but close enough.

4:42 pm

4:42 pm

Thanks.

4:42 pm

ok...closer to my younger dau! 22

4:42 pm

guess I need to go back to school for some math

4:43 pm

No, because then we'll lose you to Iron Sudoku.

4:43 pm

*glares at silly number people*

4:43 pm

HA! I use that as a last resort!!!

4:45 pm

Man...I was cruising right along with this grid, and it's like I randomly crashed into a brick wall.

4:45 pm

Oh, we've all experienced that at some point today!

4:46 pm

Me too, so I just opened the list, am I am going, "Duh! How did I miss THOSE?!"

4:46 pm

be5 anyone?

4:46 pm

be5 = started

4:46 pm

I've never opened Lickety's list. I'm making myself complete a grid based on my own brainnoodles (and clues, to be fair) before I do that.

4:47 pm

Well, isn't that just a DUH moment, again! TY, Pini

4:47 pm

Uni, I get as far as I can, then, in the interest of time, I open the list.

4:47 pm

yw scrabs...

4:47 pm

I've only been coming to the site for a couple of weeks and rarely have the time (let alone the brains) to finish, so yeah. Huzzah for pointless goals.

4:47 pm

I open the list after finding what I can on my own and from clues -- ok...when I'm desparate!

4:48 pm

go unit go!

4:48 pm

I need a break--BBS

4:49 pm

hb scrabs! ;)

4:54 pm

Does anyone know anything about installing anti virus programs?

4:54 pm

some...what are you trying to do?

4:55 pm

intall an anti virus program from a disk

4:55 pm

cd rom sorry

4:56 pm

yes

4:56 pm

Hi, kids. Shut down any other programs you have running, MLFAN. Then start the CD rom.

4:56 pm

hi judi

4:56 pm

okay, finally gonna start trying to get out of here!

4:56 pm

Also, disable any firewall and/or current virus protection you may already have.

4:56 pm

Judi, if i get off the internet how do i check to see if other programs are running or not?

4:57 pm

(Start it by clicking the START button and then RUN...)

4:57 pm

have a good night all, and good luck with babbling

4:57 pm

night sean!

4:57 pm

Sorry - should have said close out other applications - like word, excel, etc.

4:58 pm

o i turn my fireewall off?

4:58 pm

It is okay to exit out of your internet browser as well. Your new anti-virus software will make any internet connections it needs once it starts running.

4:59 pm

Yes, turn off firewall or program may not load correctly or completely.

5:00 pm

i ahve NOrton and i ahve a disk for save and restore do i need to do that first?

5:00 pm

Consequently, you will have to stop Babbling as well. (Sad, but true.)

5:00 pm

Yes Judi that much i know lol

5:00 pm

off to play cards...back later

5:00 pm

bye pinik

5:01 pm

You shouldn't need to store/save anything. Just disable Norton before you load the new anti-virus software. Once the new AV ware is installed, your computer should prompt you to restart. This will save everything you've been working on.

any help with the Bs would be greatly appreciated...I have the ale, bo+***ster(bad guy), golf term, ghost or something from the nose, and what the ghost says...what am I missing?

5:02 pm

its jsut another disk if soemthing happens right?

5:04 pm

Yes, MLFAN. Save your Norton disc in case you decide to re-install it or troubleshoot problems with Norton.

5:04 pm

Are you just installing an updated version of Norton or is it completely different AV ware?

5:05 pm

isntalling it

5:05 pm

BE6/40: Really bad hair day after the guillotine.

5:06 pm

BE6/30 rather.

5:06 pm

Norton Internet Security 2009

5:06 pm

Norton Internet Security 2009

lol, ty judi :o)

5:06 pm

Okay. It will probably prompt ask you during the install if you want to replace/remove the old version of Norton. Most definitely click "yes".

5:07 pm

i dont have it

5:07 pm

i got that one too Nonnie lol

5:12 pm

The G's are just insane today. I have two left to find and I only know what three of them mean. Crazy.

I still have 6 of them left to find, judi...I'm struggling with this entire grid.

5:13 pm

the booklet says if i have other firewall programs that are installed on my computer symantec strongly recommends that you remove them to prevent installation erors..

5:13 pm

nonnie same here i could only find 31 words in less then a half hour

slow going...

5:14 pm

Okay. Well if the Norton Internet Security 2009 has a firewall, then it's okay to remove the old one.

5:15 pm

do you think it will prompt me to do so as i have no idea how to do that but assuming i go to uninstall programs?

5:16 pm

Nonnie i agree

5:17 pm

Since the instructions say to remove the old firewall before installing Norton 2009, remove the old firewall first. If you have an icon on your desktop for the current firewall/AV ware, just right click on it. The properties menu should pop up. Somewhere in there should be an uninstall button. Otherwise, go to the add/remove programs.

People are insane! A Walmart employee was trampled to death due to out of control shoppers trying to get "the deal".

5:18 pm

I should ask, do you using Windows?

5:18 pm

I hope it wasn't my son ..

5:18 pm

Are you using Windows. Uhg. 6 ozs. of beer and I'm slurring my typing already.

5:19 pm

Yes windows

Hello, Room

Hello Doodah

5:19 pm

Black Friday shopping is one of the stupidest traditions on the planet. I won't go within 100 yards of a store on this day.

So, what is this Babble game, anywat

5:19 pm

Okay, MLFAN. Rock on.

I hope it wasn't either, tor...is he in New York?

5:20 pm

Judi thanks lol.. i talked to a few people who started shopping today very early

5:20 pm

AM'

5:20 pm

No, here in San Diego ..

5:20 pm

Anyway i am out bye guys

I agree Judi. It makes no sense now because a lot of these "sale" items can be purchased online.

Good, tor. Of course that doesn't mean he wasn't in harms way because I hear people everywhere get crazy on this day.

5:21 pm

Hey, I love the thrill of the hunt as much as any other girl, but online shopping RULES!

Doodah, you're trying to make words by using the letter tiles.

words of 4 or more letters

is it times or just go for it?

5:22 pm

He didn't open today, so I'm sure didn't have too much trouble .. 5 a.m. is when the insanity is ..

5:22 pm

Good luck with the install MLFAN. If anything goes wrong, we never had this conversation!

no, it isn't timed. a new grid every 24 hours

lol judi

5:24 pm

I'm going to go feed my face. You kids have a good night. See you tomorrow.

When my daughter worked at walmart a few years back, one of her co-workers was bit by a shopper. She wasn't taking the cover off of the merchanise fast enough.

bye bye judi

5:25 pm

Nonnie - that's just...unspeakable!

I agree!

5:27 pm

hello again folks

5:27 pm

bye again judi

walmart....has everything cheaply made in China.

7:39 pm

oh i know that..just thought they had 100 dollar i-phones or something going on

a friend of my son's had said she was going to camp out at her local one

no clue

7:39 pm

I'd need to be paid a lot more than $300 to shop at wal*marts, but that's me....

LOL, pam

7:40 pm

wek have gad 300 dollar lappys on all week at ours,but no ones interested cause they are acers

I buy some stuff there. when you live on SS, you do some things you'd really rather not

7:40 pm

hi everyone

I think theirs were Compacs?

hey, andree

but buy most groceries @ Kroger - unionized

I think frankly people are in a desperate mood and very poor and stupid behavior occurs.

I've got an Acer monitor

turtle, that's worse than poor and stupid, IMO

7:41 pm

whats wrong with acers, it was my first laptop and is now being used by my grandaughter, far better than the toshiba i have now

I dunno, andree. I do know I've got a dead pixel on this monitor that happened in less than a year

but it's only one ....

I shop at Publix, and target mostly, but do get a prescription at Wal mart, it just o much less....

and the price was very nice (buy.com)

Tyger I had a terrible tohiba, did better ith my dell.

7:42 pm

7:43 pm

hope everyone is having a fine evening...need help with last word...ai 6...anyone?

7:43 pm

7:43 pm

I know you are right, tyger. and red. I just can'tbring myself to give the waltons any of my shekels. I do shop Target at times....

7:43 pm

Hi all :-)

7:44 pm

did you know lying down after you drink makes you feel worse... i feel much better after getting upright again

7:44 pm

ugh, andree, that stinks...

pam, it's not preference, believe me. I'm not fond of the Waltons

7:44 pm

I hate Wal Mart.. very creepy

7:44 pm

oh ...........

I have been at work, all day long with some loony staff people.

7:56 pm

sounds like you work at my place of employment, red

oh, my, andree. everybody who knows me knows I'm not to be kept alive at a point well before that

7:56 pm

that is one viewpoint andree... but in all fairness, I have lots of patients pushing 100 who are doing quite well

poor turtle

7:56 pm

loony staff, and crazy customers

7:56 pm

((red and lbd))))

7:56 pm

now 100 that is old, old, old

7:57 pm

I have known many nonagenarians who were quite well--alert and oriented X3, ambulatory, etc...

7:57 pm

well, working at a bookstore, the pay is obviously ... miniscule

but being around all those books ... :)

7:58 pm

sssshhhh - this is the pretty part

7:58 pm

customers can be the bane of our existence, lbd, and yet, they are necessary....

7:58 pm

sounds like Kje is already disoriented.. what does that mean

7:58 pm

...but that is just today...

what, kje??

7:59 pm

kje, i did not mean her age, i meant her quality of life, some of my friends mothers are still active at 90+, we have several 80+ still playing at my golf course

7:59 pm

most customers are pretty nice, friendly, curteous, it only takes one to make the day seem like it was spent in hell

7:59 pm

aaaahhhhh - sibelius' violin concerrto - love that high note

I need to figure out what I'm going to eat, and do it pretty quick. it's getting late to be starting dinner

my fav is Beethovens Sixth the Pastorale.

8:11 pm

i love bach too - amazing fugues - so complex and layered

8:11 pm

thx min

8:11 pm

"Flight of the Bumble Beagle!"

8:11 pm

yw

8:11 pm

i like that bach has so many things going on at once that you can listen 100 times and hear different things each time

8:11 pm

The Lark Descending is mine

8:12 pm

OZ calling...brb

8:12 pm

not familiar, ruru - will look it up

8:12 pm

8:12 pm

8:13 pm

hey tyger

8:13 pm

I love Mozart and Vivaldi.

8:13 pm

my musical taste is probably rather trite. I love Bach & Mozart - and Russian church music

8:13 pm

yep - mississippi

what can I say, kje? my mother was from KY, and I grew up on it

8:13 pm

i will check out this Sibelus..sounds good.

8:14 pm

if you like violins, you must get the sibelius, ruru - one of the most amazing pieces for violin - one of my faves to see in person too

8:14 pm

I grew up on the blues...

8:14 pm

i think it also depends on who is preforming the music. i love yo yo ma and his renditions of the classics

8:14 pm

but I have come to like and enjoy classical music

and I grew up on church music :D

8:14 pm

performing...

8:14 pm

8:15 pm

8:15 pm

i pretty much like all music

8:15 pm

i'll be here, watching tv

8:15 pm

did it bias you against classical, pam?

8:15 pm

I am not big on Rap or hip hop

or were you able to detach?

8:16 pm

even those have things I like ruru - can find beautiful stuff in almost any genre

8:16 pm

in fact I can't stand Rap and dislike hip hop

8:16 pm

LOL--she's a NUT (literally), but no, I do love it. Have no ear--nerve deafness--but really enjoy it.

i like hip hop, especially recently some good stuff

8:16 pm

wa, sho mama no like um rymin simins?

8:16 pm

8:17 pm

yoyo ma I did see in concert twice. phenominal

I like the Brandenburg cycle

8:18 pm

live music can't be equaled, much less beat

8:18 pm

LOL, ruru. I was wondering what was wrong

8:18 pm

I do..

8:18 pm

I like Brandenburg concerto, too...

8:18 pm

8:18 pm

I was taught piano, but again, could not hear when I erred, so after a point, the lessons were d/c'd

8:18 pm

8:18 pm

wow, violin - that is impressive

8:19 pm

since I was a young impressionable boy

8:19 pm

8:19 pm

I love Peter Kater on piano....

8:19 pm

Wow, ruru, cool!!!!

8:19 pm

8:19 pm

I empathize, andree

8:22 pm

8:23 pm

and some of us are a great audience...

music is my life, in some sense. I picked out a chord on an antique pump organ when I was 5 (no other musicians in either family previously)

It was E, of all things. you'd think it would have been C, F or G :D

8:24 pm

none in mine either

son plays sax

8:24 pm

i can play a mean maraca. just ask daniel.

8:24 pm

i ALWAYS wanted to play sax...

fine, thx

9:09 pm

may i have a clue for ae 5 10 please

ae5: eagle's nest

feather, I thought you'd gone?

9:10 pm

um

you need more? :)

9:10 pm

oodle, you need more?

9:11 pm

hold on

K

9:12 pm

never heard of a birds nest beginning with ae

9:12 pm

got it though thanks

not any bird's nest - an eagle's nest

yvw

9:13 pm

well my fruit for my fruit cake is soaking in rum

making it tonight?

9:14 pm

that's what my mother used but peoples say they use brandy... um I never heard of brandy

or how long does it have to soak? I know nothing about making fruit cake. my dad was the only one in our house who would eat it :)

I've heard of using several different spirits to soak the fruit

including whiskey - if you can imagine it

9:16 pm

no no I will tomorrwo ... just saw a movie about a child not believing in sanata clause... that's why he couldn't here the sleigh bells...

I would think that brandy would be mmmm more compatible?

9:16 pm

well I can because I love whisky sours

cartoon or regular??

9:16 pm

maybe I just don't like the taste of brandy

9:16 pm

cartoon

that sounds more plausible :)

well, that's certainly a good reason NOT to use brandy ;)

9:18 pm

which is more plausable

I meant the plausible to apply to cartoon, in case it was not clear

fairy tales are always better in cartoons, IMO

9:18 pm

FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT!

yay, haab

tummy is full. I'm getting sleepy now :(

9:20 pm

Clue for the h8, please?

9:20 pm

ga6.27?

9:21 pm

thanks!

ag4/6: ag + double vowel

yw, harp

gwen, lemme know if you need an explicit clue

but I recommend Wikipedia on Japanese language (haven't looked, but bound to have it)

9:23 pm

thanks. The clue didn't help me much, so I just decided to go A-Z and look it up.

so long as you got it. :)

9:23 pm

last ag4 6 please grrrrrrrrrr

9:24 pm

Yep. Now to get the final 13...

9:24 pm

ad6?

it's one of those useless pieces of knowledge that stick in my brain :D

last ag4/6: ag + 2 vowels (in order)

9:25 pm

musical term, harp

ad6: slow movement in music

9:25 pm

ty

oodle, the word you need is the last part of ad6 I just clued

yvw

9:25 pm

I understand. you're a musician?

9:26 pm

yup, but i like to play fast, and ad6 is slow!

LOL

guys, I"m getting sleepy. please be patient if I'm slow answering at any time. I will stick with you - at least until another volunteer comes along

a consequence of a full stomach, probably :P

9:28 pm

no, I'll stick. people help me when I need it

harp, what do you play?

9:29 pm

11:56 pm

11:56 pm

that's why everyone says she's Precious...she's only 15 lbs...small for a Lhasa... and her attitude is very friendly but standoffish, until you get in the front gate,,,and then it's every man or woman to themselves 'cause she's been bred to warn and ward off any trespassers..
