reparteena Lickety just kindly supplies the clue page - Dr God supplies the grids
good day, reparteena Dr God's program generates the grids. Lickety has no control of it.

I've come inside to eat warm things and drink hot tea before heading back out into the cold again
Why?
got to go and pick up my new glasses wheee!
YAH to being about to see
yeah, always good!
I need to straighten my glasses
.
holle everyone
MR PRESSSSSSSSSSSie HUGS
hi infern!! ((hugs))... how goes it?
hi mrp!
GOod how are you?
I am having a terrible time trying to find a standard contract form. I have to create my own and present it tomorrow to my prospective employer. Anyone know anything or can point me to a standard contract for employment as a contractor??
hi ata!! good to see you hun
Um have you looked at the NSW gov website?
I have resolved, or is that dissolved, to drinking wine to get me through today and the bull*%&$ stress of work, leasing house and horrible agent
i did infern... nothing I can find there
one sec
mmm oatmeal is sooo good
http://tinyurl.com/5dpyyq anygood?
TRy this one: http://tinyurl.com/6x547h
thanks infern!! I am so bloody exhausted, ready to fall over! this should be good... will go look at it now
Ok
Hope that helps
well, that is simple and to the point!
Is it any good? I didn't look at it i just saw that it looked about right
I will have to go find informtion about casual employment, cause i am not entitled to sick or holiday pay. but I get paid more because I don't get it
Mr Pres i think its disgusting that you can;t get help from the gov appart from the family stuff
yeah, they tax us the maximum amount of 48% on our salary, and give us nothing!
Yep
its not cool
my family claims carer's allowance for my son and for me, we get a lot of money for Luke, but I get hardly a thing.
Not that its any of my buis but does that new government money thing affect you/
oh man... another long grid...
HI IM
he gets a concession card, he gets thousands of dollars a year, he gets a special education teacher assigned to him, he gets access to many services and free medical. So that is at least a positive for him/us.
and i gotta go to school... hi herin
new government money thingy?? hi ium :)
Ok the $1400 pension pay out?
hi mr. pres
can anyone give me a word making the letters wmtcadoho??
MR PRes: this http://tinyurl.com/5d2faq right now its in chinease
and don't look it up on a2z please!! I really need help working this one out
it's a combo word, mrp
a2z???
never heard of it...
I can't see it ata! no idea! it has me stumped
you want a clue?
a2zwordfinder . com is a regular tool used here
hood
277 left... and time for school, bye all
dot
moat
the only word I can think of is a stupid silly word
ok, thx mrpres
ok, if it is a combo, will find it!!
5 letters then 4 letters :)
MR pres does that TIny help?
is it doomwatch??
l8r all
fark!! this is confusing me today
that sounds almost as good as the word I thought of!
yes infern... helps heaps!! thanks darlin
I dont understand it all but i hope that it helps
i am determined to find the word!!
I have moodwatch?
let me just go and check with a2z that what I think is right
hotmadcow ??
EW
herin - change two letters round
yes, it is. ok. I can clue you properly now if necessary!
oh what!!! woodmatch???
Oooops, lost control of my fingers there
mrp - change the words round!
matchwood ??
matchwood
yep!
Bloody smart arse ata. Hi Gail
oh they can kiss my matchwood!! that is a mean one!
told you it was a stupid word
thanks ata and infern! I was going to go with hotmadcow
I think I prefer doomwatch
YOU ONLY thought of that because of ToRCHwood
I am sure I would have been banned from the site using that
Captain Jack is useful for many things!
What gives with his watch on his right and he is right handed
I do that when I wear a watch
I do believe doomwatch is a word in the USA now.... especially that Ivana Trump is divorcing her 'new' husband.... red alert status for skanky cougar alert is high.... doomwatch on all young eligable italian gigilos
which is pretty much never
its very odd
snicker pres
it's so you can write and look at the time without having to move :P
I can type and look at the time without having to move!! how clever am I!!
Ivana is not aging so well
MR PREZ!
morning babblers! another beastly word count today. Ugh. I am starting to rethink my babbling strategy - maybe I should focus less on finishing eac grid, and more on getting as many words without listing each day? how do you all do it?
trif.... we pray
then we guess
then some of us use a2z and other tools
ewok is a wo4
then we beg for clues
many of us just don't finish either!
how is everyone today?
carlee!! good thanks hun... how you going??
HI Carlee and Trifs and Esprit
everything here is good too hun....are you settled in yet?
hi Lady and all you all
is esprit here?? hi!!!!
morning everyone:)
Hi MrP how are ya?
morning herin...esprit...
morning there dude
hi Crossie
we are settled and happy here!
hey carlee
opps i just killed my b.fs cooling pad
crossie!! nice to see you man
glad to hear it prezzie...
here is one for you aussie folks - I was in a store this weekend and the Waifs came on the radio! I was *so* excited! just love them....making oz proud...
we have our xmas lights up.... there are cars constantly driving down our road (a cul-de-sac) and stopping infront of the house and checking the decorations!! this goes on till midnight!!
Yah Trifs and bah to lights
infern.... you KNOW about our contract with the lights don't you??
no
xmas...yuck..sorry... i try not to do christmas
when we agreed to take this property, our contract stated we HAD to do lights on the house.... and lots and lots and lots of lights and xmas decorations. This street is all contracted the same way
(inserts rude word here)
or what? can they actually punish you? what if you were jewish, or muslim? can they make you do it?
( I was just in the world's largest christmas store prezzie - touristy thing- is the size of 6 american football feilds )
one of the houses up the road has a full on carosel.... a fairswheel and about 20 thousand lights
How was your weekend Carlee?
Hi kids. mrp, I am stunned---how many lights do you have to put up?
fareswheel ??
so much for conserving energy!
fair ass wheel??
Its a waste of electricty
ferris wheel
weekend was really nice...
ferris wheel
S CRABS
Hi Scrabbler
named after Eli Ferris who invented it
i have a question for u scrabs....medical..not pleasent either
I made that up
seriously - can you get fined for not putting them up?
not to mention Christmas Carols puts me in the worst mood ever
How was your weekend, Carlee? Making good progress?
making good progress..yes
Sure, Carlee.
hi scrabbs! we were 'given, with full instructions' 10 sets of lights, plus another several sets for inside the house to hang in the windows.
My first word = do4/9 = me.
trif... we would get egged and flour bombed
can you get fined if you dont?
a friend of ours....this weekend... has a child..aged 4....no serious signs of any type of health issues ( the child)... serious travel hockey and soccer player...
This house is 110% Christmas decoration free.
they dend the decorationpolice???
died in his sleep saturday nite at age of 12
Is there a requirement for the length is time the lights must be on? Is 10 minutes long enough?
oh infern, they can't fine us, I am sure, but they can also make life very very hard for us cause we don't comply.... ie, make us move out
send even,i can see its going to be another lovely typod day
oh no! that is so tragic....and just before the holidays!
My driveway is getting plowed out now--geez, we must have gotten a lot of snow overnight.
as soon as dusk falls, the xmas light vampires come out and check on us
oh Carlee. oh that is terrible.
oh carlee... how terrible!
how old was the child? 4 or 12?
If it was that gawd awful carols i would well go nuts
12
oh shit carlee! just so so sorry
thats aweful. Its not right when the Fates take someone that young.
Oh, awful, Carlee!!! An autopsy will, I hop, reveal a cause. Was he injured in hockey? Possibilities = brain injury, internal abd bleeding, cardiac problem....I would hope not drugs....I would hope not "the black out game"...I would hope not suicide...
it is sad... i do not know the family well...the dad is good friends with my husband and the dad does NOT like me at all...
morning, everyone... if you are "up the creek" without means to move your craft, you are oa7.
are you seeing more of this black out game scrabbs? i have heard of this recently:/
12 is a beautiful age... far out... I think we should all say a little prayer.
i have not seen the boy in 6+ years
Hi Angel.
TY and GM, Angel
what is this black out game? I have not heard of it?
O Lord who watches over children in the present life and in the world to come because of their simplicity and innocence of mind, abundantly satisfying them with a place in Abraham's bosom, bringing them to live in radiantly shining places where the spirits of the righteous dwell: receive in peace the soul of Your little servant, for You Yourself have said, "Let the little children come to Me, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Amen.
Yes, a 13 yr old boy died in our area last spring from the black out game.
amen
Amen, TY, mrp.
amen
amen
amen
amen
What is this black out game?
amen
The black out game is also called many other names, but basically kids create hypoxia to the brain (lack of oxygen) to get a high.
there is a version of choking..another of slamming against a wall to push air out of lungs
The strangulation can go awry--> death. One of my friend's from residency, his 13 yr old son died this way.
oh scrabbs! such sad sad stuff... i extend my prayers to him too...
a sharp blow to the chest is another
that is crazy. Its not fun being half unconsious
Or having a friend sit on your chest.
good morning all
howdy merk

nite herin
no, that one hasn't flowed yet, sorry ph
sigh...not yet phan
i have the k
well, may I have a clue pls?
funny how with the advent of computers how geek,which was in the past a derrogotive term is now a highly sought after commodoty to repair theese infernal machines that we love/hate :)
hey dorens! new house is just great!! loving the space and the feel and the kids love it too! family are well and as summer is coming on, they are exhausted by all the heat and activities! Such a good move to come here

hi sog! hi babrab!
TY, bfsog and BR
so glad it's going well for you mrp
hello
kristine? hi all
Lynn ?
hi BR - i like the icon pic
hi lynn :)
There is an on-line test called the Nerd/geek/do4 test and I rate quite highly in all 3!
LOL... seriously scrab? there is a test??? LOL
how many u have left?
124
got it thanks! now off to the list 1/2 and NBT!
well, i'e had my coffee and 134 words.. now need to shower and get dressed and get to work. have a good day, all
BR I just read your profile - didn't realize you were from the bahamas - I used to live in Dominica, and miss it terribly, esp as the snow flies...
i just got up dam woman!
I forget the web site, but you could find it. I have re-done the quiz a few times just to re-confirm who I am.
Bye Doren
been up since 5 , started at 6
LOL scrab... and do they explain the diff between the 3 ?
we have had so much fun (not) with the old house that we left... the landlord and agent are being pigs. I got legal advice and they are screwed!! Legally, they have done everything wrong... and I mean EVERYTHING! They will have to pay us damages now. Karma is a b!atch
I live in north dakota sorry
but you used to live in the bahamas? or is that just wishful thinking? :)
ah, that is military area isn't it babrab?
so did u buy mrp...or are u renting/ leasing now?
Yes, kje, there are definitions.
has some military bases but the missiles are gone
renting for now... looking to buy, but not until the money market settles and housing prices come right. After this last experience, never want to rent again
right..ok...well.a.t least u are settled in a good place
http://tinyurl.com/5vurgt
we have been lied to, given bad advice, misled into paying money we don't have to, threatened, patronised... there are about a dozen misconduct allegations going against the agent ... and we are not taking them to court... the government is! Ha!
my least fave veggie ever is here... yuck yuckk yuck
hope they tear them a strip for you mrp:)
cross... I am a huge believer in karma... I know, as does lickety, that we have done nothing wrong, but we are being 'educated' by this, overall we are learning something with all this that we will need in the future to help us.... they will be the ones to suffer in the end.
assed is a word! geesh - half-assed, fat assed, bony assed...i could go on and on
oh let me count the ways trif!!!
well, so is owee...but alas not accepted... and i have an owee in my head right now
mrp,my wife is into shamanism and i am a go with the flow and wait for them to get whats coming to them :)
TY for the link, Crossy--I will retake the quiz later today, after work, so that I can bask in the glow of being a nerd, do4 and geek.
I had a head owee yesterday.
I am looking for your veggie, kje.
I assume everyone has noticed the not more suffix is very prominent
scrab... i don't get them often, but this may be a bad one... a little nauseous... just another bad gene from my mom
no,
Oooh, TY, BR.
veggie is a very gross ok4
thanks BR
Oooo, slimy ok4....puke...
thanks BR, that was wicked helpful! oooh, KJE, we are going to have to disagree on teh veggie = LOVE it, esp. fried
kje, my mother has the migraine gene too and me, a sister and a nephew all got it.
disgusting! like slime dirt
ok4 is slimy in soups.
too right cross... it will come. and come what may
my mom and 2 sisters, scrab... but i only get one every couple years

hi Green.. long time, no see
wb Trif and hello green
howdy asgreen:)) just do what i do and grab all the biggies to get max pion value out of it and leave most of the 4 letter words
point even
I know - I've been so busy and then travelling for Turkey day.... and .... now these biggies.... so, there it is! all my excuses
lol cross, everytime you do that, I picture snagglepuss..
have most of the 7,s 8,s and 9,s..;)) thanks to br;)
go cross go!
I think I'll mosey over to facebook to waste time there. Actually, I should be moseying to Quicken to catch up on some bills!
morning to everyone that just arrived... seems like a busy time to pick up here :)
thanks for stopping in, AsGreen.. hagd
im old fasioned that way i still like to go into the bank in person and get that teller stamp on my bills
im a hybird tech user;/
upper middle o?
lol crossy - I can't tell you the last time I went into a bank to make a transaction
hi asg
kje, NO!!!, don't you have work to do young lady?
i am stuck there too, kje. 2 out of 3
i should not be here... do not start asg
you can tell when someone hasnt fully embraced the tech age,just look for the pile of post it note beside the computer lol
i only have 1/3 - the or4/5
kje...kje... tsk tsk tsk
wokless is not a word
bite me asg
lol, that was the one i was missing, ty kje
mm what is a man without a wok to do? lol
think of a spanish crowd yelling...
ty
oh, in case anyone remembers the kindle conversation. I bought it for hubby's bday - he didn't want it; I kept it and used it on my trip - but decided to return it ... I don't travel enough anymore to warrant having an electronic thingy instead of a real book
the other two from that o: pl of the bullfighter's cheer and the o***nder bush has pretty flowers
i wouldn't think i would like it
im going with the sony reader asgreen as the kindle is set for U.S only
but I am really enjoying the book I'm reading: Edgar Sawtelle
TY
do you have a palm pilot or other pda, asg?
I have a blackberry
woo - found today's fish plate
I miss my treo though - it was more functional than the blackberry is
the kindle uses proprietary rogers whispernet cell data packs to buy books remotely and we do not have that here
ardorless should be a word too
enable is crazy. haven't you ever found yourself wo7 and therefore unable to cook asian food?
the kindle would be great if I was travelling and knew I'd get through more than one book - plus I got the NYT every day....it was pretty cool - just too expensive to justify keeping HIS gift! :)
you should be able to find a free, downloadable reading program for that. I use Plucker on my palm, it doesn't try to look like type on paper, but it's convenient and easy to carry, and free.
without love... so sad
you are forced to buy it with a U.S adress and credit card
esp when MY bday is just moments away!! :)
nyt on the kindle? would still prefer a laptop
without asian food....even worse!
happy br asg, as i will likely forget
happy birthday asgreen! (a little early)
happy bd... not br
i've heard reading the newspapers on the kindle is clunky... how true is that, asg?
that's SMALL though Jess
um, it was ok... hard to skip around, but easy to read through.....
thanks kje (and Tri too), but I'll expect more from YOU on Thursday!
mine's not... it's in a case, and about the same weight as a paperback. and you can adjust the font size.
i chose the sony 700 reader #1 because of its touch screen and side lighting and #2 cause of it 8 font settings cause of the wifes eyes,she can not read normal books anymore so im getting it for her this christmas
but it's an older one... things keep getting smaller and smaller
crossy - you sound like me - getting it for her, but really, my friend, who will use it more? :)
asg... my real friends no better... i am always late... will take you out next time i'm in ny for a big bd bash - lol
if i like it ill budget a second one:)
know, not no.... ugh!!!!!!!!!
you kidding asgreen? if i get one the first thing ill do is jam 1000 books on it!!:)))
i have already stared loading e-books in preperation..have 400 so far;))
when the prices come down, perhaps I'll treat myself to it. Also, when it accepts mags like PEOPLE and OPRAH - lol
how do you spell the first part of the rasta hairstyle? isnt' it dr**?
kje, I'll go out in NY w/you whether you know OR no!
dr***
yeah but that's abbr for dredlock
people and oprah - OMG - you are soooo my little sister... that holds no appeal for me at all
no, trif, add another vowel
r*ts
ok gang... I'm off for the day - bills, etc.... then tennis and OLIVER! stuff... enjoy the day. KJE, leave and write your grant!
nor i,i have currently loaded every book by issac azimov and ray bradbury, am going after all the stephen kings next;))
i hate that grant
have fun, asg. and have a good birfday
well, somebody might as well tell me about that lone K ... pretty please :)
i am considering quitting my job altogether! that is what grant writing does to me
k4 - rhymes with x-mas song
and all of james clavells stuff;))
hurshy - the first **** the angels did say....
thankees
and must be gone... bye all
bye, kje
bye, kje
is there an io entry?
bye everyone - hagd!!
:(( no kindles for christmas:( Due to heavy customer demand, Kindle is sold out. Please ORDER KINDLE NOW to reserve your place in line. We prioritize orders on a first come, first served basis. This item will arrive after December 24. Note that Kindles cannot currently be sold or shipped to customers living outside of the U.S.
just thought id look and see if they opened the thing up to the rest of the world yet:/
crossy, what pray tell is a kindle?
it is a electonic e-book reader that uses digital ink and can store up to and over 2500 books
just what you get for wanting to abandon paper. thousands of years it's served us loyally, and now they want you to use it for kindling. you don't think that name is a coincidence do you???
as well as play music and store pictures
cool, had not heard of them before
lol hurshey..not that kind of kindling
kindles are awesome!
that's what they want you to think. it's a subliminal message.
they have a write up on the history of the choice of the name
i think it is to kindle your imagination,not to burn things lol
you're falling for the propaganda
up the creek without a paddle, you would be oa7
(i am saying all of this tongue in cheek, natch, although personally i will never let go my physical books)
Good morning, global puzzlers.
hi Judi
if anyone is interested,this is the one im getting for my better half http://tinyurl.com/4pfer4

guess i don't usually have the patience for the 2/3 of the puzzle that doesn't come easily!
dr
well, trif, you could come visit and take one home with you :)
good morning inge
have you got any miles to share? at this point I would have to walk, and by the time it got there, it would not be a kitten any more!
FIREWORKS !!
bbs.. need a break
Fooh. Have to go. Monthly report won't write itself. TTFN, all.
wtg nono
conratulations nono

On my way to more coffee, I met my vacuum cleaner, which said: What about ME??? Evensudoku will have to wait now.
bye, trif
mine's been sitting there tapping its foot for a couple of days now . . .
oh no step away from the vacuum dont give in:)
I covered mine so IT cannot see me but I hear it humming
I put mine in the closet. Solves the glaring issue *smiles*
LOL!!
aww, poor neglected vacuum. mine's gathering dust because we took all the carpet out and put in laminate :)
humming is good...doesn't that mean its w***ing without you!
Neglected vacuum has neglected broom and neglected spongie mop thing to keep it company.
Babs, So wish that was true, but alas, not
good point! :-)
I let mine look over my should whilst babbling lol
lol
oooops shoulder
mine's in another room . . . can't see around corners
We should all get Roombas
I have this mental vision of all the neglected vacuums around the planet so sad, very sad LOL
...I would modify mine in a heartbeat.
and all the dogs hoping they'll STAY neglected!
lol
right off to take the dog out before the light fails, might take the vacuum along so it doesnt feel so left out, Happy Babbling everyone bbl:)
bye, jean!!
bye, jean
and i'm off to the kitchen for some cereal . . . BBL
enjoy, Une
bye, jean
bye, une
morning all
morning, lady
Hiya Jes
hi all!
Morning Ata
morning, ata
we found a big eel washed up on the beach this morning. much excitement
how do you guys know that a certain word you're looking for has a certain score?
cree
live eel?
nope :(
other people, who have the word, tell us so, angi.
or you can go to lickety's list
how big is big, ata?
lickety's list?
about 2ft
2 1/2ft maybe. a decent sized eel
wow
I know! not what I expected today
isnt eel a fairly popular fish to eat over there Ata?
yep, but they are usually caught in rivers, not on the coast
We were once at a fair in Germany and they had eel sandwiches on display, head and all.
poor guy.. probably got caught in a tidal pool and couldnt get back
Oh ok I found it, thank you jes
I"ve eaten eel on sushi.. dont know if its freshwater or saltwater
sushi eel is very very nice :)
yum, yes it is
eeeewww! eels are nasty!
I think I shall mention the eel to the local environmental agency people, I'm sure they aren't commnon around here
no, they are yummy with teriyaki sauce on sushi rice
eels are cute!
they're pretty cute pets.
Sadly, it's light out now, so I need to get to being productive.
not sure I'd want a moray eel for a pet lol
Have a good day, all
they hurt when they bite you
Oh, c'mon! can you imagine the amazing aquarium you'd have for him? I'm picturing a whole wall of water and amazing critters.
I'd love that!!
but morays do bite. they are evil. and wonderful. I still have the scars
Yow, when did you get bitten, and where?
That's one of my biggest fears, sea snakes and morays
twice actually, once by a moray when I was cleaning it's tank at Bristol Zoo. he was notoriously evil and liked biting divers. and once by a snowflake moray in the Cook Islands
morays like me *facepalm*
you must taste good to them Ata
The Cook islands sounds wonderful, but I'd be fearful of eels and poisonous fish
fish stay away from you if you stay away from them, bicon
whats the word count today folks?
Yes, but if you step on one accidentally
lol you won't. eels and sea snakes aren't really steppable on
eel bad, jelly fish, worse....
and if you are sensible and wear wet boots at all times in the sea, you'll be fine even if you step on a hidey bad fish
When I was a child, we were on vacation and staying at a motel with a pool. I had joyfully swum in it the day earlier. But when we were leaving, there were eels in the pool. I don't know how they got in there, but after that I was afraid of eels and snakes coming up the drain when I was in the bathtub.
awwwww!
most times in the sea, you'd be lucky if you even saw an eel. As for sea snakes, you'll be *very* lucky
Does anyone have the second ca 5/12 the word after the reading room
nm, got it.
reading room?
my husband calls that the loo
.ll
good morning all, just got up, very late for me. And my cat was sooo patient.
is this a good grid or a bad grid
probably missed all the clues for the long words :(
Hey Peri, long time no see
Any grid with 69 c words is a crummy one, in my opinion.
speaking of C words, anyone have the ca8 right after jobs?
ooh nvm
clue please hurshy
NM found it
hello everyone
HIya Hursh, didnt see you sneak in
would really appreciate help with 9's and 8
I have ca8 so far
re/9 those who let go; the other 9 is an id--don't have it yet
ty jan, will look
I found a couple of 8's then too
thanks Jan, that gave me 3 8's and a 9 :)
It travels in a pack with 5 biggies--three 8's and a 7
Two c 8's are stroked and stroker
thanks jan, just found the other one
And another c 8 is negligent; and an ro/8 means mineral free
got the neg word, thanks, jan
looking for the ro8 now
The last 8 that I have means unemployed.
got the ro8 too, ty jan
Still looking for the pesky id/9 and id/8--suspect that the 9 may be a plural. About to go to a2z...
I like morewords better than a2z, jan, have you ever used it
No...is it morewords dot com?
yes
you can type in the first two letters and then put dashed for the rest of the letters and a list witll come up
Thanks...will give it a test drive.
*dashes*
bbl
Bye peri...
Plurals are your friends here--I just went over my list and got 11 new words via missing plurals. (C's on the other hand are very much not my friends. Still missing 8 of the buggers.)
AR's arent too friendly either today
I wish there was a P in there.
no you don't cos the grid would be 450 then!
yeah, but the other 100 would be easy! =)
G'd afternoon Babblers! Scratched my way down to 52. The pain really begins now....
hi lorikins!
How are you makin' out Ata? Done?
hey, peeps
G'd afternoon tyger
lori, lurve your icon :)
it's afternoon where you are?
I see a Maple Leaf :)
double your amount left!!
thanks. As we all know, housework is evil. :D
of course
I know..that is why I always say a prayer when the vaccuum cleaner comes out..
Nach'erly the middle r's are killin' me.
I've got 22 left, but I'm going back to bed. joints are aching. we're supposed to have clear weather for the next several days, so I don't know where the Ritis Bros are coming from :(
RE today isn't merely Evil. it's Wicked. :( :( - but I got thru 'em
oh..too bad tyger..it is probably the change in weather
me and the monkeys, that is :P
Ok, why isnt Reese a word... what about Reese's cups?
that's it, ruru. there's no predicted change in weather
LOL, noire. it's a proper noun. officially, no proper nouns allowed
OTOH, there was a proper noun in a very recent grid - shawn
hmph, chocolate isnt proper, lol
because Reese cups are only in the PB and not allowed in the grid... all chocolate Items are banished to the PB
but thx, ruru for the sympathy
PB?
he's right, you know. I can't recall ever seeing the word chocolate in a grid ... or even cocoa
penalty box
you cant banish chocolate!!! Aeeee!
the Penalty Box is for people who type a grid word into this box
no, no, noire. it's not banished. merely reserved for transgressors
heh, I should just move in to the PB then lol
tyger to the box!
as solace for being in disgrace
good morning all!
oh, my. did I Do It??
hey, nonnie
like tyger just did
G'd afternoon Nonnie
fortunately there are some Reeses cups waiting for her ...lol
oh, I see my error. I said wo4
and to think, I just had one in the REs
*hand Tyger Chocolate*
How is everyone and this grid? Is it a fun one?
can't eat peanut butter, ruru. I'll just hafta have a glass of (virtual) wine and crackers
nonnie, it's anything BUT fun :( worse than yesterday's
brings nice glass of CHardonnay to tyger...
uh oh...I guess I better get busy.
thx, ru. I needed that
okay, I give up.. clues for the ar's please?
can't have the real thing ... meds, you know
I feel your pain Tyger

LOL, lori

It was an re, that's the scary part, even though I refuse to admit how many r's I ahve elft.
but so is the 8 it's based on
got that one Nonnie, but thanks
thanks Tyger
yw, noire
I stole the id from chat on my second sweep. I'd never have found THAT. :/
ar6/18: a halo, of sorts
I only found it in a word list, lori
and that with much anguish

there's an ar7 based on the ar6 (plural)
evil evil wo4
ooh, got those 2.. thanks!

Poopy grid. I hate the c, r, e,a, d, o and s. And I hate 1 l too.

My 1st ca 6 is a plural, but I'm not done, so it's prob'ally not what ypou need ruru

*contemplating making spag bol*
***excited at the direct hit, I let go of the chandelier in my excitement***
*squelches happily around the PB*

Motion carried. (The cabana boys could do with a day off)

I vote that ass** is a word, as in : look at that big-ass** woman or man
Missing 1 stoopid d. Ack

Owl ??
Owl, your butt is not big
Oooh, found the d. And no, it wasn't a plural! :p

ha how long has it been since you've seen me? and to all me a trouble maker to boot
bye Peri!
anyone got the first co6/7?
mm you got the wo8 I presume?
is "cadre" not a real wo4? i mean, i know its technically french, but its a wo4 that has made it into the english language...
My missing l was a plural though. God
it's real but doesn't connect today, eva
if it was in the grid, it would be!
oopsie! my minds eye saw it, i swear!
my missing e was a plural
co 6 # 1?
hey my boss is in the grid! we6/30!
May I please have a clue for we6-30? Thanks
co6/7 combo rough rather than smooth
OK TO, I need your boss...well, not really but you know what I mean. Thanks

It's a rodent gape

Damn! Thanks.
Holy cow, my missing o was the whale. ***throws keyboard on floor in disgust***

back for a few more
hello, flosey
clue for ar6/18 please?
I've got to find some happier music... I put on a Christmas music channel, but too many of the songs depress me. I don't want to sing the Christmas blues.
um... it's a dark circle.
lol, got it, thanks
ok, good. =)
I was trying to think of a different way to clue it!
Hi kids. Don't feel bad aslindy. I HATE Christmas music. I sound like such a scrooge, but it is all so done to death. I can't stand to listen to it.
well, I like Christmas music, but not when it's all sad and sappy. and I'm supposed to be putting the lights on the tree, so I thought it would put me in the mood to do that. I've gotten one string on so far.
Humbug Humbug Humbug Humbug
co 7 -- most of a stock enclosure and ^^vil's advocate
You should listen to what you want... that doesn't make you a scrooge.
i LOVE christmas music
ca 7 == sans auto
well, I hope I love Christmas music... I direct the choir at my church. =)
Must finish a report. BBL.
ca 6 -- sounds like a a christmas song but is a cubicle or study area often in a library
biab... gotta do more of the lights.
hello all
help with K word please
K rhymes with a Xmas song
thanks annie
thanks Annie, monkeys found the anagram but it did not work
Annie, did you ever hear from Scarlet
peri, I am ashamed to say I never wrote back because I know how busy she is but I will write tom. or Thurs.
did you ever hear from Scarlet?
Well, I did her from her a few weeks ago. She said that she had to put down her cat, Phaedra who was 17. And that three of her friends had died in the past 6 months. I responded to the e-mail but have heard nothing from her since then.
Oh my, that is awful...I feel badly...I will write to her later...thanks for telling me
I do see her when I play Noggin on facebook but If I do not say hello she does not say anything. The only time she "spoke" to me on Noggin was to tell me she would write later that day and she did.
carlee has had more contact with her
I have never been on facebook...what is the link?
is it just facebook.com?
I just type in Facebook and then when you see groups either type in or look for Friends of Babble.
okay, thanks, peri
we could be friends on Facebook, Annie :-)
My name there is Michele Alperin
I have the same icon as I do here
I would like that.

still have 180 words to find, how about you?
I will definitely do that but right now I have to meet my son...so going to get ready...I need 73 words

Ata, how is your hubby behaving today, are divorce proceedings on hold?
have you got any plain yoghurt Ata ?
dessicated?
I'm going to buy some sour cream tomorrow to bland-down my bit!
no desicrated, nothing like that should ever happe to a coconut
desecrated means that you've damaged or disrespected something sacred...
yup
he's behaving today because I haven't seen him!
my point exactly
you mean dehydrated?
there you are then...that will do it !
LOL Ata, get a collie collar
I'm going to go desecrate a coconut ..
hey Karys
rofl
do I want to know how you desecrate a coconut?
hey jacq !
poor coconut
no, torgone. BAD TORGONE
you dry it out and scrape out all it's meat
tor has a very vivid imagination ...
LOL
As soon as I figure it out, I'll let you know ..
you could desecrate mine if you like...not my favourite
maybe I could get a coconut in a desecrate for safe keeping
lol
I have to ..
*snicker*
gets out my collie collar and measures tor for a good tight fit
would that be a big crate, or a small one BR ?
depends on the size of the dese

You mean dese deses over dere?

lol kje... my mom know the teacher personally, so that kind of rules that option out... will have to do something more subtle...
the teacher goes to our church, and my mom and her are friends...
May I please have a clue for sc5-12? Thanks much.
sneak in one day before class and post pictures of birds and bees all over the walls
lol, that sounds like fun!
loose shingle type stone and rocks on a hillside
sc5 - ends in double vowels
that are fun to run down
thx kje, that helped!!!
fun to run down??? not for me... every since my fracture i am a little unstable-ground-averse
someone here may show up early for your class, kj
yw ium... life is too short to get irked over a little CPR
lol!!! i have broken my leg... i have been more scared of that kid during soccer for the rest of my life...
ca 7-32 also has double vowels.
i meant the clue kje...
he broke your leg? kicking you?
LOLOL ium - oh...
yes... well, kind of, hold on, let me type the story
not my clas, BR : )
my classes are tough... i am mean
kge, all I'm getting is shale and I know that isn't right. Maybe rewording would help..Thanks
we were playing keep away, and i had the ball. this kid could really kick hard, and he came at me. I did not get the ball off fast enough, and he kicked right to the side of my shingaurd, and it hurt so bad i fell down, and the cleats got caught in the ground, so i "spiral fractured" it, according to the doctors
ga, the word is a spiral shape on the grid, start with the s and spin around it.
sc + consonant + double vowel... only way to get to that ending
Thanks hon, got it now.
OMG - sounds horrid, ium, all my sympathy dude... i twisted my ankle landing on unstable ground after jumping off a porch and snapped 2 bones, one in two place... i cringe when you tell your story
ouch kje!!! that sounds like it would hurt!!!
o's obliterated, as stid would say :)
hubba hubba, jes
stid must be busy wrapping up classes, i haven't seen her in a few days
she was on last night, kje
i havent seen stid in a while either...
oh good, jes (i think) i suspect her semester wraps up here soon, so she must have lots of work to do
oh, that reminds me, finals are in 2 weeks... crud!
she didn't say much about her own school work, just was upset at a kid for not doing their school work
but then you get a nice long winter beak!
uh oh... bad stidkid!
a winter beak! wow! :D
assed is not a word?
i have a kid who sits next to me who tries to copy my work when he doesnt do mine... (i dont let him!)... and yes, then i get a long winter breaked!
hi all
asked
it totally is, kje, just that enable is in denial.
hi peri!
hello, peri
kje, I want assed to be a word too, it is in morewords, stupid enable
LOL BR
LOL jes
lol what a statement to enter too kje..and i use that word all the time! hi all :)
lol all!
exactly, peri... if something can be half-assed, wouldn't you think it could be assed as well?
iuman; have you talked to the teacher about moving to a different seat or something to avoid that?
i wonder why arachibutyrophobia is not in the dictionary... it is a word!!!
or big-assed :-)
as5?
not yet jes... cant, a lot of others would let him copy, and i dont want that!
or smart-assed
half-assed
or jack-assed
or cant be assed lol
as 5 --- set ***l on the water
hmm. had a friend in college who suspected a fellow of copying. filled out the whole test in incorrect answers, and then put a note on the back of it to the teacher, explaining why and asking for a re-eval.
lol, the wonders we can come up with by inserting a single word!
lol, that is a good idea!!! i may have to do that sometime!
sneaky jes! I like it!
I've done that before, but just making sure I had enough time to scribble out those answerss and write proper ones
wow... that is a lot of C!!!
i am going to look up arachibutyrophobia on dictionary.com to prove to babble that it is a word!!! (it means the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth, if u didnt know)
lol
yup, its a word!!! (dumb enable...)
something dumb to be afraid of, though
brb
heh. we've all been ranting about enable's lack of wo4s for ages, iuman. eeler, cria, tegu, degu... those show up a lot, but are not accepted.
common enable, i learned it in 3rd grade, u should have it on Babble... considering more adults play this than kids (except me)
cummon*
* What do you get when you cross a lawyer with the Godfather?
arachibutyrophobia is too long for babble anyway
* An offer you can't understand.
ata, no it is not, it could show up, it is 16 letters, and there are 25 letters in this grid (as well as all others...)

In that case, gapeach, it's a bit of fishing gear.
hello all, back to find my last 27 words
Thanks much Judi.
cuddy?
I was mad that I missed that episode, Hurshy. Nothing has come of it since then. He chickened out on any follow-up... so far.
forgot House was on tonight
wow!
you can watch it online judi
Is it Cuddy or Cutty?
the episode where the agoraphobe could leave his house, but house couldn't talk to cuddy, that was the first time i ever felt SORRY for house.
True. I forget about that. I'm really only interested in seeing the snog. For wont of fast forward.
it's cuddy, you can always see it on the door.

Norman does live up to his Psycho name at times.
hi peri and hursh

wahoo, i'm up to 30 out of 54 words on that left side C. that feels like a big accomplishment! no list yet.
Peri, think what an editor does.
i have 15 and have not used the list today (and i have 71!)

double groan, harp!
ok, i'm going to just go through the list and skip the ones i get stuck on for now

WOW - and wikipedia is such a GOOD source!!

the kitty reminds me of my playing with my cats when I was a kid - but I never dressed one in a tutu
as5?
good strategy, feather!
as5: as + I ***d it before, I'll **y it again
tutus and kitties do not get along..
then stick co--- in front of everything
i wish santa would bring me a kensington track ball mouse
LOL, harp

sounds like a sensible plan, herin. good luck! :)
yw, owl
too sensible herin!
jane yo look very festive
no, nrk, not in today's economy
how about 1 dvd, 1 surprise (set a $ limit) and then work on the bills?
well its just stuff. I would rather have a box of chocolates and flowers than $1000 in debt
always good to let in a surprise, even in tough times
they're young, and now is the best time in the world to be sensible
Young but not stupid.
that's not a bad compromise to offer, nrk :)
amen, herin!!! I'm proud of you
We have the 2 pcs to pay of and a car. THats it no nada zip
it's just tough when you take away the fun, I think
young enough to know better and old enough to not give a rat's ass ...
lol
sa7/36 please?
but then everyone is different, so I'm only saying what I might do
hopefully, her practical approach will help him appreciate her even more
as5? (now i'm just plain blind!)

NR he is awesome but this year we are down about $500 as we moved house.

sa7/36: sa + hook + it's *old outside + robot ending
ty nrk

I have nothing other than C words at the moment
sa + most of the mcdonalds arches + robot ending
I wanted to give a biology def, but I doubted it would be comprehensible

did you get some pizza last night after all weed?
mc d's fries: yuck! go wendy's!
how about the last sa6/21?
TO. This is what my b.fs aunt does. Everyone comes over to her place some one gets asked for deserts and stuff we take our own drinks and at the end of the meal we pay about $10 each
down to 20, closing in!

i'm sorry did someone clue me that pesky ca7/32 the first and i was too busy yapping to see it? i apologize.
I want there to be an oar-LO4.. one who rules wisely over rowers and their equipment
bermuda id magic - you can get anywhere from here

these sites are my Friend: www.savingmum.com.au and www.simplesavings.com.au are my friends
Australia is my dream trip
Simple fun to.
so cool! will you meet kiwi
4 left!

have to stop in hawaii and then palau (for diving) and then onto NZ
go weed!
I should huh?
aw, why can't droid be a word?
so a pleasure trip? thought you might be going for work... vineyard hopping or something
Hi Lex. You can stay at my hosue
could be fun - she is a hoot
Feather do you make Reindeer food bags for the kids?
nope.. pleasure
she certainly is...
i am staying with herin, lexi - she has no idea what she is in for - LOL
THere is 2 rooms kids
with her new attorney boyfriend.. I don't know if I could find her anywhere
sometimes herin, when we have time
hmmm.. i know where i would look first - LOL
AUstralia is also on my list to see
REALLY - have you talked by phone etc?
ok, canNOT see the co7/36
There is this awesome idea on savingmum. You put rolled oats and glitter in a bag and spread it about for the reindeer
lexi - virtual! not in reality... at least not yet
sounds like rusting weed
honestly, i'm disappointed. that's one of the cheapest plot-stalling tricks in the book. and it was so good up til the end.
ooooooo-then I wanna come too
kje .. do you exist?
ty ruru
virtually
? hursh?
final 2
Looking Feather
house.
nope - just a figment of your imagination, ruru... no one else here actually sees me
oh, hursh
shhhhhhh not on yet
Can't see the co7 you clued for hursh, ru....
*trips over kje* what was that?
if kje is virtual, she definitely passes the turing test.
cr6/21 please?
turing test?
help with that Co that feather asked for
turing????
Pam... co _ double cons _+ helper spelled wrong
cr6 - kinda like fads, but s instead of z
thanks, ruru
thats a word?
the mathematician, hursh?
i think i'm on the same mindwave or something that ruru is. second time i've gotten one of his more vague clues.
yw
may i please clue the oa7/28 as "up a crrek without a paddle"? ty!
it's a test for robots, to see if they have artificial intelligence. turing is a mathematician or something.
ahh! ok, final one....
uh oh... pam.. that is a problem
in what language?
well, i certainly have artificial intelligenec... this cannot be real
kje will start picking on you too then
i don't think it's confined to a certain language
it's a statistical thing.
oh the robot ending again
oh bullsh**
you mean feather, ru... and i already do - LOL
did you mean me ruru? pam and i blend together icon-wise
2 to go
how come droids are non in the dictionary
ooohhh, suddenly racing nrkii
no not you weed
he was "THE" man inthe early 1900's... father of computer science.... fascinating man, hursh
my money is on nrkii - i mean, look at that expression!
11 more and I'm going to list...help!!!
2 more C words they dont exsist
yes, ru... you mean feather
HEY - no blending on Tuesdays!!
my virtual money is on all of you, LOL!
I will go with weed
wow PINI - my hero
weed is the one that said she is on your wavelength
there was a robot that came close to passing the turing test at the AI fair this year. it was able to fool some people into thinking it was a person.

F R W R S = 1/2 fireworks
stid how did the homewoork work out/
YAYAYAYAYAYAYA, TO!
ROFL...nice lex!!!
oh, he finished it last night about 11 pm. he'll be WAY tired tonight, and I think in bed by 8
YAY lex! rofl
still working on that one, Nef
I win I win - made Pini Roll on the Floor!!
YaY TO! And good for you lex
* giggle *
facebook presented me with a poll. it asked whether i spend more, less, or the same on beauty products in the current economy. and i said "the same", but it didn't have a space to say that's because the only makeup i use is a bit of cover-up for zits.
hey nef!
i feel this is unfair.
oh nuts my cooling pad just stopped working
thanks all - 1/2 curtsies and 1/2 bows - bt not at the same time - did wii fit yesterday and today too sore
LOL hurshy! yup, me too!
Pini, ar+ ***itos, a chip snak
hurshy - FUNNY - me too
lex do yo love it?
hey TO
hey babblers - herin, I thought you broke the cooling pad earlier?
oh my lex! you gotta start slow! LOL like, with slowly opening the box...
hey trifioso!
YES I LOVE it!
thx!! I didn't even see THAT direction!!!
hello stid how goes it>
hi trif
cause, you know, they show you the results after you vote, and i really think all the people who are wasting money on makeup should find out how many of us don't use it, and thus enable them to not use it
It was working again with a bit of jiggling but its stopped again. Hi too
it's almost as unnecessary as lottery tickets.
well - slow is - "Hello this is day #141 and this is the 3rd time you've worked out"
down to 86 now...
too bad they don't say what they mean
rofl (again) you know about the only exercise I get is the "ROFL" ... *grin*
go pini go!
you have very fit fingers
I did two whole days in a row....tomorrow I won't be able to walk
i think the use of makeup is very regional. in philly most women don't; however whre i grew up in no jersey we don't leave home without it.
I wear enough makeup not to scare high school kids
(...and since I have to finish...adding MW, too)
i need to exercise. :( and floss. :(
Please floss
LOL i love the new makeup which has good things in it - like i love tinted moisturizer
herin, if you are interested, click on my profile photo - I put on a photo of me with secondo and tertiare, so you can see all the brood.....
haven't tried that....
I have rarely used makeup throughout my whole life. <I haven't needed it except for posh events!>
i have really good teeth - my hygienist didn't even notice i hadn't been flossing.
well i didn't either. till summer before soph year when i began to break out badly.
I like lipstick, so I wear it often.
my cousin tried to sell me Mary Kay - and laughed because I only used concealer, chapstick (carmex) and mascara
I wear more makeup now
now i would love to learn to wear lipstick
And, I occasionally wear a blush.... but my fave is my sumemr sunblock, which is minerals and tinted...
I'm older and scarier
LOL, lex
up to 112 now... need the K for no blank tiles please?
4th ca4/6???
you know what makes no sense? rachel always wore eye makeup on friends, but then they developed that thing about how she freaks out when anything comes close to touching her eye.
my daughter was watching me play this yesterday, and asked me why so many of the names had little pink purses next to them! She meant the little lady icon....now they ALL look like little purses to me too!
well as we age we lose color in the skin. however, aveeno has good moisturizer for that as well as thewre are retinoids
I have rosacea, so sometimes, I wear an origins foundation with mineral sunblock which tones it down....
Stid, think xmas N***
stid - the first, no** the angels did say....
that is cure trif
I call them "purs-ons" trifioso, because they looked like purses to me, too!
i thought so...click on my profile if you want to see a photo....
cute
aha! thanks trifioso!
cute girl
Cute Trifs. Really cute
trade you for the ae 4
when i used origins the makeup had no sunscreen - one reason i switched. sunscreeni sessential. as well as covering up skin in urban environment
back, miss me?
you mean britich for the stuff we breathe, tri?
where are you TO?
ae4 is the usual Babblet (think flying)
philly burbs
4th ca4/6???
I love their stuff because the sunblock is mineral--i can't wear the chemicals--and because i don't react to it, TO
oh, gawd, I am too blind to live
(btw the reason this came up is that vanessa, age 13, is wanting to wear makeup on the cosby show on tvland as we speak)
the extent of my makeup wear is chapstick, and sometimes moisturizer in the winter.
nm ... got it!
hey feather I heard you are a reefer addict is that true?
*gives trifioso a cane, a seeing-eye dog and a big sign: throw fish here* Here, tri... the sign says, please help me find words...
oh let her paint the town Cos
no kidding, right?
she's an elementary school teacher, of course it's not true!
hey peeps must go - enjoy your babbling!
*sigh* kje's been talking about me again, hasn't she?
not to mention her two young sons!
later TO!
I thought it was a BIG fat lie...that kagee -
bye TO
*is remembering how she used to think that only teenagers did stupid things, and that adults never swore, smoked, did drugs....*
she convinced ping that i had tattoos once. she's very proud of that one.
herin, et al - that dolphin was so cute, you couldn't believe - she was still fairly young, and she had a PINK TUMMY - I was in a pool with 2 little girls and a dolphin with a PINK TUMMY - this value of this cannot be overstated
BRB ohine
(not ignoring, just deep in grid to finish ... soon!)
Trifs its awesome
PHONE brb
*is remembering how all of life's problems would be solved by graduating from High School*
oh my... a PINK tummy you say?
yop
awwwww tri!
you know what else is weird? proactiv commercials featuring alyssa milano and jessica simpson, talking about how they used to have acne and it was so awful. but everyone thought they were beautiful anyway, and they were rich and famous, so doesn't that sort of undermine proactiv's marketing?
well feather - I came STRAIGHT to the source - no gossip here
oh! the island Liz lives on is in the grid! and it counts!
WOW! I'm finally at halfway and can go to the list now! :D
and that stuff only works for a month - at least that was my daughters experience
not really -- the teen angst is so often centered on the "ugliness" they feel -- which has little to do with how they are perceived by others.
go nef go!!!
hee, thanks lex! never ever believe a word kje says about me!
go Nef go!!!
I know my daughter thinks she is ugly.....she is SO not
i found that it irritated my skin more. tell her to take B5 (www.b5clearskin.com) and order the clearasil equivalent of proactiv's "mask" (with sulfur) online.
okay, trying it out....
we can start a kje rumor - but then.....that's her game
pink tummy achieved, hope it shows up okay....
in the famous words of Stid: C's concurred!!!
oh, i've already gotten her back. i'm at peace with it! hee hee
oh yes! very much pinker than most pics!
go pini go!!!
thanks, stid
oh! i went past halfway and didn't notice...
okay - gynite tall....I wanna go to bed
Stid: :-P
did you get that, lex? B5 and clearasil w/ sulfur. wish i'd had them sooner.
night for me too, tired and ready for bed
yes I actually copied it will paste and look up tomorrow
sweet dreams feather!
are YOU here again TRIf
night feather
great :) cheers.
night weed...tmw...promise!!!
knitter, check out my photo today!
night lex!
hey knitter!
D's done!
I need to take a little break... back later if I can stay awake!
stid is like a truck driver
that is so cute. we did that same thing in the keys kids loved it
take a break stay awake for safety [sic] sake
hi stid ah... bye stid
i dunno how those got put all over the highways without anyone correcting the grammar
I went to a meeting tonight called "how to survive the holidays when you are divorced or seperated" - turns out it was at a *slightly* scary church, but the people were really nice, and I am glad I went
what was scary about it?
slightly scary church? aren't they all
I am a pretty progressive democrat, and they were definitely of the "home schoolin' evangelical" type
Hi, all!
must have been interesting
jellen how are ya
yeah, i have strains of both in me, trif, i understand the tension.
actually, there really were lovely, and I learned some good stuff
Okay, I would like to know if anyone elses' Babble won't let them add hints until other wo**s are put in first besides me?
I'm good ak, how's about you?
upright and on this side of the grass - i'd say its a good day
Nef, that's the way it works!
my sister is thinking of homeschooling pumpkinboy here, but for academic reasons. she volunteers in the schools and ... she finds it sort of scary how un-smart the teachers in her school system are.
lol, knitter - my dad says "i am upright and able to take nourishment"
and he is correct
he isn't that upright, trust me....
seriously? I had entered all 3 wo wo**s ealier, but only one was there now. I get on a roll and don't look to see if they're entered; but when I go to the list, I find them missing!
you might consider slowing down until the green clears???
funny teacher tale .. when my daughter was little she had to do a report on a foreign country. she chose latvia (we have friends from there) the teacher tolld her to pick a differentcountry as know one lives there!
i don't know, hurshy....I really think home schooling should be illegal in almost all cases....but that is TOTALLY just me, please don't flame!
needing help for the ID8, 9
LOL! Do you think that that is the problem? :-D I never considered that!
too much togetherness, not healty imho
It works that way for me...you might be adding faster than it can register! :)
id+ medical person+ra4 and pl
nm...got the ID's!
thx Nef
well, my sister wouldn't really be "home"schooling, cause she would take him to the deaf school one day, and other things - thinks she could offer him more options, a more well-rounded education...
okay, not a hint, but a question - is the ca 7 a relatively normal word, or one of those babble words that is latin for diseased heart or something?
yes, Trif
medical person??
i have no vehicle, trif
which?
at least 2 of the CA7's are
the first 2 are relatively normal...the 3rd on is "different"
oh, man, hurshy - hint!
and, in my family, well... we tend to get rather bored in public school
totally stupid on the id8/9
short for physician
I think schooling is important for socialization, team-building, sharing, and the like. And, parents can augment/enlighten kids at home. As well as the teachers.
are we looking at the same grid?
and I think I hinted wrong; only 1 D in the id8
when i was in 3rd grade, they put me in the 4th grade math class. the first day, i came home crying, because they were teaching something i didn't already know. i thought i had done something wrong. i hadn't realized you were supposed to LEARN things in school.
I was totally bored in all but math, but glad I wasn't home-schooled... even though there are programs now, and whole support networks, I think we should hold schools to higher standards and parents should engage and challenge schools, not bail. But, that's my soapbox
does the last ca 7 - the weird one - build off the 6, 21 before it?
LOL, hursh
and then there are the school busses - torture chambers on wheels...
ah the loser cruiser
i very much feel that other children really ruined my childhood.
it's the pl, Trif
lol hurshy!
have to go later
thanks pini
in fact, after conversations with my mom and looking through photo albums, i find that i was a happy child until i started school, and have had depression issues ever since.
bye herin! Guess what I am making tomorrow for a ladies' tea?????
I think that might be true of me too, hurshy.
well I'm stuck on all the DR wo**s! I only have the last 2. Any hints?
ditto
walked to school, did not ride a bus... took public transport when school was further away...
Could you redo the id8/9 clue? I have not been able to follow it with amendments.
dr5/14 to fear, and plural
dr5/12 gloomy, and plural
sittin' on the do** of the bay
school shouldn't do that, hursh and jellen, and I am sorry that no one saw that and intervened
oops...you said DR...sorry
i + bugs bunny's "what's up, ***?" + bulldose
dr4/5 dr + double vowel, and plural
i went to public school and i turned out extremely well i might add LOL
jm, i+slang for phyician + ra4/4
i + What's up, d**? (Bugs Bunny) + tear down (Brit spelling)
it's true, she did, I can attest to it - she is a fantastic mom, and the best, most amazing nurse you could ever wish for!
well pam, there wasn't necessarily anything specific they should have seen and intervened. apparently it is fairly common for HSPs (highly sensitive people) to have that experience.
Ooooohhhh. Thanks hurshy.
blushing at the praise !!
and I can touch my nose with my tongue
you know it's true! And I have even STARTED on your amazing artistic abilities!
our nervous systems simply can't take as much sensory input as normal people's.
hursh, i remember wishing I were stupid and thick-skinned . . .
That's interesting, hursh. S
ummm - I think only David gets the benefit of THAT particular talent, dear one....
brb ... gotta feed the dog
BETH!!!!!
those people seemed really happy . . .
i know exactly what you mean, une.
you brought it up....
Half of a fireworks is all I can take tonight. Glad to get there. Gdnight all.
aknitter, I never knew you were a nurse before
ciao and congrats, jm
yup
G'night, jm
she is is CHARGE nef! Boss nurse!
lol - it just occurred to me that one might think that the "socializing" effects of public school did not work on me, since i primarily "socialize" online...
really? good for you! I've been a nurse forever
:-D
oh good lordy a fan club
you are a goof
NO ONE deserves a fan club more than nurses.
mothers
cats!
what specialty are you in,
no, nurses - mothers take care of the fluids of those they love. Nurses take care of EVERYONE"S fluids...gotta be a special place in heaven, due to just that factor alone
oncology
fluids - euuuuw can stand them all but sputum
shudder
oh, no, trif. I've been a nurse for about 40 years and have never tolerated erp.
I would not like to deal with *any* of the fluids in a hospital - I bow to you both
not even saline? :)
3 of my dad's oncology nurses drove 80 miles to his funeral . . . pretty amazing . . .
as well you should!
In ICu i'd tell the patients that bodily fluids belong in tubes and that if they felt ill they had to let me know or I'd puke too
that was nice une
oh hey, i almost forgot, i prevented a car accident today!
very special people
that was nice, Une. He must have had a special bond with them
what did you do??
by not driving hursh? sorry couldn't help that
my husband was driving, there was a lot of traffic merging onto the hwy, the guy in front of us was moving, husband looked back to see if there was a space, started to go, guy in front of us had stopped moving. i yelled. he stopped.
I prevented one by dodging into the curb when an idiot ran a red light and nearly hit me this AM!
oh, gosh, that's so nerve-wracking!
yikes!
people, there we have it - the first case of a wife yelling at a husband actually affecting change for the good
:D
lol
I don't think yelling would have made my hubby stop back when he could drive! Good for you hurshy
my husband is foreign, and, maybe once or twice a year, particularly if we were just back from a trip to visit his folks, he would slip up and drive on the wrong side of the road. I would just quietly tap his arm and say no, honey, america. If I freaked and yelped he would have just panicked. the only time it was dicey was when he pulled out into the wrong lane in front of the hanover mall. THAT was exciting, for a minute
oh dear!
i wasn't consciously yelling to stop him, i was just... yelling.
although, i didn't yell when i got in an accident myself last year, so i guess i WAS trying to communicate.
I bet! People at malls can be pretty crazy; thinking of someone in the wrong lane is really scary!
back again. hey, peeps
foreign -- nicely put
lol ak
hey tyger
"he is a foreigner, with ways different from our own..." boy, did THAT ever come true!
alrighty, well, i'm off to bed... ttfn
goodnite hurshy
nite, hursh
again nicely put see you have a way with words LOL
Bye, hurshy
btw, do your mom and dad know?
Hi, tyger
not from me i did not tell them besides my mother would forget 5 minutes after i told her. she is just like gram
hey, jellen
oh, now THAT is interesting - barb was asking me the other day if you and I had spoken about memory issues. my mom is really getting forgetful, and has seriously lost ground since retiring. When did your mom start having issues?
when she retired. guess i will NEVER do that. family thing? hope i take after my dad
I already told r, just take me out in the back 40, the cock of the gun will tell me all I need to know...huh. Guess I will have to get Carole to do it,
my mother always said that ... if i get to be like my mother just shoot me
hopefully carole will remmeber
hmmm. I came back because I thought a cluer might been needed. I guess not :)
hmm. Do you find that she retains "old" information - childhood stories, etc., more than new stuff? Mom seems generally muddled to me.
wait wait wait .... there are 203 clues needed here
she is not much like Jean, who def has alzheimers
trif, that's the commonest development in such cases
LOL, knit
i am in RE hell at the moment
my sympathies. they're awful today
funny, so I am - initials
do you know which you need/want worst?
retains the old forgets the new.
retains the old forgets the new.
RE hell just got that LOL
tyger, my mil has alzheimer's, and she def has a handle on old stuff, but nothing new. My mom is following a rather different path, and has more global issues
chog's been doing a lot of that double post thing today
i want the BIG guys re 8,8,9,9 i like to feel smart
re8/50 indented into the wall, e.g.
she was diagnosed with the tiny little brain bleed thing, I forget the name, and would misspell it anyway
it's PT of re6/21
Could you please clue the re 6/33, and the 2 re 6/21 following that, tyger?
the one where she has hundreds of bleeds, and they are all teeny
of course, the 2 have rather different meanings in modern use
there are 2 re6/33s
i hate RE words
ooops! the first 6/33
oops, I was wrong, but here we go
don't be so re******
re6/33: re + In the beginning was the **** John 1:1)
thhhhhhhhp
real mature. I know you are but what am I?
oh don't make me go there
that's the one I have, tyger. trif, I don't get your hint
under there?
it's not a hint - it was a comment to knitter
1st re6/33: place back in boxed shelf (as in a store)
the other was the 2nd. I was right the first time :sigh:
OH! THANK you Trif! I was starting to worry about MY brain function! :D
that's not worded well, but I couldn't think of how else to say it
yvw :D
oops, you were thanking trif; sorry
fireworks here
.... but she didn't clue it
tyger - its the term that means to realign pool balls
yay, teach
woo hoo wv
Yay, wvteach!!!!
oh, goodness. I wasn't thinking about that meaning - I was thinking about store displays
WTG, wvteach!
I'm amending the def I saved :)
THANK YOU! I finally got your clue!
you know, books and other stuff in stores - especially near the registers - are placed in these revolving ****s
... 2
or at least that's what retailers call them
go, pini - I thought you weren't going to do this one??
now how about the 2 6/21's that follow that? Please?
GO PINI!
re6/21: spoke again
i must go do a wee bit o work before i hit the hay. time to get the new schedule done before they all hang me by my thumbs. bb tomorrow
no...just started late...
... 1
re6/21: Spanish word re + I **e you there + not your ma
~*~ F | I | R | E | W | O | R | K | S ~*~
not the usual word for not ma, either - I think it's regional
yay, pini
last one: Why, you little we**** (rodent)!
woohoo pini!!~!~
Yay, Pini!!!!
you're *fast* pini
only fast with MW
so, kje, when are you gonna move on from 'Nam??
... and now for puppy duty! ;)
not a rodent, pini; different family entirely
just did tyger
Thanks. WHERE do they get these wo**s? And they don't have ones I know and use! (ie:meds!)
oh, I see now. had to open your profile & refresh. refreshing this page takes too long with a big grid
YAY, Pini!
LOL, nef
an awful lot of the 7s and 8s (and some 6s) in this grid end in "not more"
next clue?
I haven't finished my usual daily round of sites, but I do like to be helpful
how about the ro 6/30 please?
one other thing I noticed was how the majority of the high value words feature the K, not the W
(that will be the last one I'll ask for tonight)
ro6/30: plural of 2nd ro5/18
I'm willing to stick for another 30 mins, if you need the clues
<blush> I don't have either ro 5/18s
stick around because we really like having you here, tyger
ro5/18: propelled a boat
thx, trif :)
other ro5/18: found on the back of a cowboy boot
thanks tyger You are a doll!
yvw
like Barbie?
is that what that means???
no, ru. not like Barbie. I'm endowed, but not THAT much
trif, you mean that first ro5?
okay I could NOT figure out why barbie would be on the back of a cowboy boot....duh
lol
poor ken.. he doesn't have equipment...
it's the little wheelie thing on the spurs that goes round and round, and has points to dig into the horse
i know, right? that blaine must be swinging some pipe for Barbie to quit after all those years.
LOL
more humane ones are fluted instead of pointed
but you can understand how being poked with 2 of those would make a horse spring ahead!
hi ruru
wait, are we back to the boots, or still on barbies' boobs?
hi
and bye all - thanks for reminding me to keep traveling, tyger
boots and boobs.. sounds like a rodeo
yes, boots, not boobs.
yvw, kje
Hi, ruru
night
in your DREAMS ruru!
Bye, kje
hi jellen..good night tyger.. sleep well
wait, I was saying it to kje :)
or maybe that is Jessica SImpson and TOny ROmo?
lol
boobs have been something of a problem for me. most women have either not as much as they want or more than they want. I fall in the latter category - but NOT like Barbie, thank God!
and hey, jellen
tyger - i am betting the oa 7 is another one of those dandy med wo*** - oh wait....
they've made her look like she's about a G
dig me - got it!
I'm right there with you, tyger.
dig me - got it!
it is indeed, trif :D very good thinking
and the ones who feel they got cheated are jealous - they've never had the backaches! :(
I read something that said that if barbie was the size of an actual woman, she would have to walk on all fours, due to the proportions she has. What a lovely role model for young women
oh, yes, trif. it's ridiculous - and pathetic
There is a store in the castro district that has Barbies in their front window in compromising positions with special equipment.. it is hysterical
clue for the k word please?
oh, really, ruru
think christmas, courts
clue for co 7/36 and co 8/50 please?
ko4: rhymes with "the first No**"
true. my older sister actually had grooves in her clavicles from her bra straps; her boobs are so big that her clavicles are deformed
I have grooves in my shoulders :(
thank you so much!
me too - my girlfiend calls braless days "beating the system" days
(feeling around) - and yes, my clavicles :sigh:
yvw, court
I buy custom bras so I'm more comfortable. They are about $80-100 each; but so worth it!
and the fuzz is all rubbed off underneath, where the wires go
I wish I could afford those
trif, why does she call it that??
bb in a bit..
by fuzz I mean those tiny little hairs on the skin
got to make din din
who said I can afford them? One interesting thing is that they last a lot longer than the store bought bras because they aren't under so much stress
she thinks she is defying propriety, or something. i don't buy custom stuff, but I make it a point to go a good store at least once a year for a fitting and some GOOD bras
good eating, ruru
<I think we scared off ruru!>
I buy the best I can afford, and I take pretty good care of them. they last years (of course, I have a bunch)
could be, nef :D
Hi all :-)
scared him titless!
I am stuck on two ca's
but I doubt it. ruru's not that squeamish. now if we were talking some other kinds of girl talk .....
and i am about
hey, amy
to pull
my HAIR OUT
ca6, by chance?
I buy about 3 custom bras every 2-3 years. When I bought bras at a department store, they lasted about 6 months. AND I don't need underwires anymore either!
Hi, Blue
the first one, I mean
ca 6,21 and 7,32
the last ones
oh, nef. I do believe I'm jealous :)
ca6/21: what a professional has in the workplace
Blue, think about profession and pl
7 is the plural
pweeze pweeze can someone give me a clue?
almost a snap, nef
hmmmm k ty lemme think about that....
amy, is that clue not wo**ing for you?
of course, actors have ca7 to - good ones
hello 97 to go, during Eli Stone commercials....
hey, harp
hmmm i dont think so, i have the ones that rhyme with... um.... "fuh" and "ears"
oh, ouch!
gees, we were discussing boobies when I left 3 hours ago!
ca6/21: extended spelling of the AngloSaxon word for slave
just came back to it, harp
the 7 is not related
:'(
I must be blind i'm still not seeing it
ca6/21: automobile + not more minus last letter
tyger, the brand of bra I have is by Figurette
don't think I've ever heard of them
the last CA6-7 pair is ca+ plural letter + sea bird
can someone please clue co 7/36 and co 8/ 50
i've got that one too, i think, tyger
here's a website for you: http://www.twotexasbelles.com/
co7/36: a hall is a co**idor + lemon***
i can't believe assed isn't acceptable. Fat assed, half assed, bony assed...
8 is plural
then it must be the set pug just clued, amy
LOL, trif
ty tyger
yw, frost
thx, nef
thanks pug, i'm recruiting my boyfriend the wildlife biologist to help me find the seabird :-)
ca6/21: ca*ette + sea eagle (3 letter spelling)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH I got it thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't think of a way to clue that part, other than the def
'tis ok
I've got a growing list of clues for some of the most asked words
any help for the SA7/36 please?
sa7/36: sa + hook + it's *old outside + robot ending
*******osis is a terrible disease, pug
ty vm that's an odd one
I would give the biology clue, if I thought anybody would understand it. kje told me she could feel the glares thru the computer when she tried that
no, pug. it's a tissue transformation, often found in tumors
yes it is, nef
ugh! I hear enough of such talk at my Doctors offfices !
and there are other circumstances where it appears - as in full-blown AIDS, very often
oops, sorry. I was about to keep going :) I won't now
sorry, pug.

yw, mel

OH! Well, I have this hair that is impossible, so I stopped fight it and it looks very similar to this picture (only I don't have blue hair or eyes!
hoping and praying that we have a small grid tomorrow. to think I was complaining last week about all those grids that were about 200 wo4s
sc 5/12, please?
LOL

Hi, mrp

It isn isn't it. Tyger? My symbol of freedom for yesterday's theme.
starting to get ready for Christmas yet, MrP? or still too busy getting settled in?
Gently ((hugs) MrP, as not sure of health status.
I am tempted to do my usual trick of getting through the RE's with a glass of Semillon... but the Parent/Teacher meeting I am going to might not agree with the smell of booze on my breath. I don't think I can explain babble functionality away to them...
oh, she's(?) a beauty. I've always loved black horses
co 6/21, the first?
LOLOL, Mrp
MrP - foget that, just breathe on them!
oh thanks Jac!! healing well thanks darling! 5 months out of surgery and just getting back to 'normal', if there is such a thing for me :D

thank you Pug

18 left ALL R;s
ce+ New ***eans is called the big easy
I am feeling a little better tyger, the orthopedic PA gave my hydrocodone to help me sleep last night, and it helped a bit. I didn't like the side effects, but just being able to sleep for the first time in a week was worth a little discomfort
no, jac. I meant stid
might as well do the ro's then all i'll have it re's and that SHOULD be sort of easy
hello Jac!
Oh right, tyger. Sorry.
glad to hear it. remember, I is an expert on hips :(
Hi Stid.
grrrr I looked for that word earlier I must have typoed it, thank you ~Firewords~
yay, mel
Thanks, Stid, for your contribution to my Lonely Banana story.

'sokay, jac :)
YAY meliae!!!
yw Jac! that was fun
Gotta take a break. Back soon...
omg omg omg i am to the r's
stid - I hope the others I invited join in.
I will remember... you wanna know the kicker? After all these years, and the pain of the stupid injection... the MRI SHOWED NOTHING!!! *disgusted mama look* so we are back to square one -- pain with no apparent cause.
go blue go!
go blue go!
now, amy. don't panic. there's lots of help at hand
well, stid, the pain is NOT your imagination. their tests are simply inadequate
that is the only thing keeping me SANE tyger hahahaha :-)
:)
Otherwise, Stid, it's going to be a battle with you being cutesy and me getting the poor orphan into a remote fruit bowl where the lemons are mean, the grapes gang up and the orsnges are too laid back to intervene.
amy is coming closer than she ever has to finishing a grid. I told her that she's doing marvelously well for such a newbie. not sure she believes me
thanks, tyger... I do feel as if they are going to stop believing me... but I know it's real, so shall keep bi***ing and moaning until we find a fix. Or at least a reason.
wow, all of a sudden i only have 9 to go!
nobody with a Babble addiction is entirely sane my dear
do that, stid!
go, harp
go harp go!!!
go amy go!!! *holding breath for amy*
shhhh, pug. don't scare her :D
no wonder i fit in so well pugmama :-) tyger thank you so much for your encouragement!!!!
I have spent my whole evening trying to get caught up on the schoolwork I couldn't do last week....
yvw, amy
we embrace our mutation here!
*mutating as pugmama speaks*
and have you finished it, stiddie?
no tyger... 131 to go.
I meant the homework, stid :)
oh! you mean the homework. SORTA. Tom is trying to get the color printer to work, but he is frustrated because he wants to play on the wii but the printer needs encouragement...
oh. well, I'm sure he'll figure it out
then I am mostly done with the stuff for the class that ends tomorrow (can print my class notes to use on the final tomorrow afternoon before class).
if I don't go get my shower & shampoo now, there's no way I'll be around at flip (have an insane amount of hair) - may be late as it is
BBL, I think
I would like to get a 9 before flip time... should I list or wait to get down to 100?
okay tyger... see you in a few!
think I shall off to bed now. busy day tomorrow. Happy Babbling & fireworks to all my lovlies! POOF!
O-M-G... I got a 9! *faints*
sweet dreams pugmama!
