morning all
Morning!
hiya MonkeyG! How are you today?
morning sprite, monkey, mrpres
hi saanich :)
and everyone eale!
Well, my back is pretty fried this morning, but otherwose fine except that Walter decided that because it's Saturday and we had to get uop early all week, we should get up even earlier today-- 10 til 7!
How are YOU?
Hi Saani!
hey sprite! I just got home from a pahty and am unwinding with words. How are you?
Hiya Monk!
hi all :)
Hi Ata!
The bakfiest could get here today or tomorrow!
argh silly Walter! So the food poisoning is abating now? Good! I am okayish, overdid things last week (on purpose) and now must rest a lot to get back to normal pain levels, but mentally I am feeling great. We celebrate sinterklaas tonight.
hey Ata *hugs* Good to see you!
We did pakjesavond last night.
great way to unwind, isn't it, saanich!
was it fun, MonkeyG?
Walter's school also put on a huge extravaganza, with a libray bus and Leespiet and Sint and a small band and presents...
hello Ata!
Yeah, the neighbor... I mean, the SInt... rang the bell and left Walter a fishing game, toy money, and the ganzenbord game. Walter was over the moon.
that rocks, when school makes work of the sinterklaas. Caya's school does too.
snaths
I can remember myself, when I was really little. It was so incredibly exciting.
ah, good one saanich!
Fun! Walter's school is just 150 students so they could do a big party without it being TOO crazy.
oh sh** SORRY!
Thanks, that S has been taunting me...
don't say sorry, grin, it is one I always overlook. Also the other one with the vowel at the end. Thanks :)
Glad I could help she said in an abashed manner
Oh, thanks, Sprite! ME too...
I'm glad we have one of Santa's reindeer in the grid
4 words for the price of one, saanich, it is a blessing.
ahhhh true! Thanks Ata :)
Thanks Ata and sprite
almost two even, Ata, but the other one is a phantom :(
one will do :)
hehehe that is true. It is good to have one.
so how do you all like my ugly wallpaper?
Excellent! I still need to look for some.
I like it!!
if I ever get richer than rich, Ata, I will beg you to paint my walls for me! :D
hi babblers
Hi shdy!
which reminds me, I need to send you your package! Could you please please send me your snail mail once more through msn? I have it somewhere... somewhere...but where?
monkey! how are you?
hi shady, you are almost in the grid today
I will!
sprite: re the wallpaper...it's, um, er...not up to your usual good taste
thanks :)
Except for my back, fine! How are you?
hi sprite, almost but not quite, lol
lol saanich, then it is perfect for the theme, I hope ;)
Morning all.:)
good, good, monkey, what's wrong with your back?
Hi Jacula!
hey Jac *hugs* Good to see you!
hi jac
now THAT's ugly wallpaper!
omg Jac that is really ugly!
Morning Jac; great ugly wallpaper! Good theme whoever thought of it!
Long story. Skipping most of it, fiuve months ago I put soap in the dishwasher and couldn't stand up. Been limping around ever soince. It was finally just diagnosed as two small, utreatable disc herniations.
wickdsmaht suggested this theme, saanich
the clue that i'm up too late is i'm the only us flag, wrong time zone to be awake! eek, monkey, that stinks
It has as of this week officially stopped getting woirse!
it's a FAB theme
well that's a start
I will find ugly wallpaper. I will.
My paper is very similar to one my parents put in my bedroom when I was about 6. I picked at the seam and some came off and I filled it in with crayon. I got into trouble for 'the deceit' rather than the paper ripping.
i'm no good at following the theme, my current icon is from the last theme i followed, maybe 3 or 4 months ago?
aw Jac! And it wouldn't have helped to tell them every change was an improvement, I guess?
It was ages before they found me out, though! So, there's one 'plus point' for busy wallpaper.:)
lol, jac, now we all just went back to childhood, thanks!
The orthopedist thinks this should start to improve within a couple of months.
good Monkey, I hope so....
awww MonkeyG, you need to be patient a lot lately, right?
great theme to get back on the icon train then, shdy!
eek, sprite, the whole searching then shrinking the pic thing reveals my age
funny, i live online, but can't deal with changing a pic
no need to shrink, babble will do that for you! But it is not an obligation, don't worry ;)
usually my pics (both pictures and choices) don't fit
Oh dear! Just had to ring Other Half to warn him not to buy fuel on his way home from work; I just found his bank card on the desk here.
too bad, I bet you can come up with great picks, shdy!
No more patient than you need to be, Sprite. You're kind of a role model for me about staying psitive.
lol Jac, you are an angel. Just saved him a load of embarrasment
on my tv right now is the crazy lady who killed her kids, the show is taking her side......ick
I'll bet he was Xmas shopping on-lne before he went out. Wonder if it was something for moi?
aw shucks MonkeyG, that is quite a huge compliment and one I don't always deserve! But thanks :)
ok, peer pressure, off to look for wallpaper.......
I want to kill my kids on a weekly base, but never longer than a few seconds. '
Jac, it should be!
Monkey, I hope your back improves soon.
Now, now. Of course you deserve it. If you were the kind of person (like I am also not) for whol staying positive or getting positicve again after a dip was EASY you wouldn't be a good role model for me. It's not easy. Adn you DO it.
Me too Jac.... But right now I really just hope I get through school OK... just weeks left to that degree!
:) *hugs* and thanks, MonkeyG. We are heroes in our own way, aren't we.
You'll do it, Monkey. Determination will see you through. x
you will, MonkeyG. You've already proven nothing will stop you from getting it.
Awww, thanks folks!
well, my goodness, monkey, of course you will!
darn, still old pic
lol MonkeyG, have you read the upper line of the grid? It kinda says Sint en Piet.
It does! Hee hee!
OK, now I have ugly wallpaper.
shdy, I see your new one!
ok, I have the most hideous wallpaper now!
shdy - press F5 (refresh). Your pic has changed.
arrrggghhh MonkeyG, another brilliantly ugly one
Oh Ata! That takes me back to the 60s.
Monkey - that's busy paper!
oh dear, Ata, that is LOUD!
Anyone prone to migraines will probably get on looking at this log!
*get one, I meant.
yeah indeed, lol
oh, duh, thx jac, was just off to repeat the process
(still hasn't changed on my screen) but i'm dorky enough to pick actual wallpaper
on a wall, heh
I wonder when I will stop entering ades... as in lemonades...
I see people in a not-so-ugly environment and a dog on yours, shdy!
Ata, how on earth did you manage the photo of my recroom? Geeze.
Me too.
not my dog, sprite, all of mine are cuter
I would love my wallpaper. If just to piss off husband
lol Ata, last act before moving out... repapering the whole house?
apparently you aren't seeing what i put, it was my wall from the sims forever ago, no dog, just a cord on the floor
shdy: yes, now it ca4 through! Good one!
speaking of happily moving out, anyone seen kiwi lately? haven't "seen" her since free day, love that lady
I saw her a few weeks ago... new man in her life.
no, haven't seen her. But I know she is busy dating :D And yes, love her to bits. Went through hell and ca4 out singing.
she's been on facebook
yayyyyy kiwi!!! i remember she had a hot date, didn't know how it went
How about Elder? I was thinking about her last night. Haven't seen her in ages.
Ata - have I missed some news about you? Moving out?
ata, who are you on facebook, are you in my list?
lol Jac, I meant in general!
nope, not me. yet. bwahahaha
Becky Hitchin on facebook
Hey, finally found an 8!
elder is having a tough time. Went back to work and it is really hard on her.
Poor Elder! I hope she's hanging in there.
woot MonkeyG, well done!
Phew! Glad there's to be no split, Ata.
oh , well then yes, been there since i first got there, sorry i'm so ignorant
BRB - post has just arrived.
bfn, Jac *hugs*
well, there will be, jac, just not right this second!
Oh dear, Ata. Been married long?
6 and a bit years
you will need to wait until you have time enough to repaper the walls anyway, Ata ;)
Post was from building society and electricity bill so not opening until after breakfast.
wise decision, Jac
you guys really see my sims paper and house? I still see the triangle
I still see the dog.
Yes, shdy, we see the house walls.
not sure where you're at monkey, but wish i was there!
The Netherlands...
wallpaper in 2 different patterns, one up to window sill heighth, the other from there to ceiling, shdy.
Oh, now I see the wallpaper.
i see a dog to my right on the couch, a dog to the left on the other couch, and one i can feel but not see at my feet
My dog is upsaide down on her bed.
lol shdy, so you are in paradise.
not in the icon, tho, lol
yep, dog heaven, sprite
What kind, shdy?
those, i think can be seen at facebook, all mutts, monkey
Big? Small? Hair length? Approximate breed types in there somewhere?
2 big, the little one is 45 ppounds, 2 short hair one long, mostly lab mixes, young one maybe a boxer mix?
speaking of dogs, the mating of Dana and Gitaan went very well! First day nothing happened, Dana wasn't ready then. But from 2nd day on they did great together. The breeder just told us Gitaan was so gentle with Dana, he even licked her around the eyes to calm her :)
awwwwwww
NICE, Sprite!
see? told you she'd get there when she was ready!
Mine's a Great Dane, shdy.
omg, dog porn, i knew i stayed up for a reason!!!
love those, monkey, i'm a fan of big dogs....if anyone lives near Houston,TX there is a 130 pound mastiff in the Pasadena shelter needing a home
yeah I never doubted it, Ata! I love the way she does take her own sweet time for everything! And a pup from such kind parents must become a sweetie.
lol shdy!
her name is Blue, she's 4, she's cute, you can google and get a pic, if I didn't have 3 already I'd take her
OK, gotta get on with the day. You folks have fun! Sprite, very soon I will have my house in order and my head on straight and you folks will all come visit. Ideally on a clear day so I can barbecue some Mongolian lamb or something. Enjoy Babbl;ing, everyone, I'll be back later for a break!
See you later, Monkey.
nite monkey
bye monkey
sweet painless dreams, Monkey
It's 11am in Netherlands.
Is that right, Sprite? You're an hour ahead of us?
*hugs* MonkeyG, and take care of yourself
that is correct, Jac
My son's in Friesland with his g/f at present.
oh, so not much good night, then?
it's 2 am in BC
4 am in cajun country
BBS, need more tea and the cat wants feeding.
it is a great thing to be able to chat through all timezones :)
bfn Jac *hug*
shdy -- you are either up late or early!
and to all people! love it sprite
up way too lat, saan, but it's almost finals, so I'm almost off work
shdy, I cannot walk well so we picked a tiny dog on purpose, one I can handle even on my worst days. It is going to be a king charles cavalier spaniel.
not sure I can picture that, sprite, i love all animals, do you have a pic?
good for you shdy, good luck in finals too.
yes I do, a pic of the mother, let me find the link
what does that kind of dog look like?
yayyyyy, waiting....
http://www.sweetdevotioncavalier.nl:80 / it is the dog on the left, the ruby
sprite, other people offer to walk even one of my dogs and I say no. I had 3 ankle surgeries and 2 weeks in hospital after a dog walk about 7 years ago, and then I only had 2!!!!
I'm back and I'm freezing - just been up the garden in my dressing gown to open the g/pig shed.
*sends Jac some warmth and a nice hot cuppa*
Or rather to put the light on in there and let them out on the floor. Not leaving door open - too cold.
Thanks Sprite.:)
oh, sprite, how precious! sort of like a cocker spaniel?
like a baby cocker :)
(can't see size on picture)
god, how cute
I have a damaged pelvic girdle, so I have to be careful. We decided to get a dog from a good breeder, rather than get one from the dog shelter, because our dog has to be trained very well from the start so it will not make me fall or trip.
they are small, but very much REAL dogs. Not a pet breed, despite their size. Ata helped me pick the breed, she knows her spaniels :)
oh yes, you'll know you've got a dog!
wonderful, sprite, I love all dogs, just a little partial to big ones, and I have the luxury of taking mutts out of the pound, so I do.
and another great thing about this breed is they can walk for hours, once mature, but they are content with a short trip too.
Now that i have 3 and can't take more, i just hope for the best for the ones that are stuck
seriously, sprite, i love them all, and that picture you posted ---- toooo cute!!
playing rough and tumble with the kids will exercise him / her on your bad days!
it will, Ata. Look, I found a pic of the dad as well! http://www.sweetdevotioncavalier .nl/puppies.htm
awwwwww
they will have lovely pups
lol I see Gitaan is spelled Ttitian. Well, how silly of me not to know!
one of my coworkers got a boston terrier a month or so ago and brought him to work...he was so tiny and cute, i couldn't keep my hands off him. In my house he would be in danger of getting stepped on
omg, the puppies at the bottom of that!!!
yes, I think so too, Ata! We are not at the top of the list for this litter, but I still know we will get the sweetest and smartest pup of the lot.
awwww shdy how cute
you saw mine, sprite?
dogs are just wonderful. I was on the beach the other day and a man came past with 3 boston terriers (I think, ish, anyway) and 2 were waggy and confident, and the 3rd was all tail-between-legs and wary as he came up to Hobbit. She wiggled at him, and then he came over to me, all cowered too. But I leant down and stroked him, and you should have seen the difference! He perked up and wiggled and wagged and his eyes went all shiny and happy
nope but I have a vivid imagination, and I think it is cute to not be able to stop cuddling it :)
it? heehee more like them
Finally found an 8!
woohooo!
WTG jAC!
sorry for the capslock...
on my facebook are some pre-hurricane pics of the dog family
ata, that wiggling and wagging is life at its best!
absolutely
am sooo looking forward to getting our puppy and starting to make it into the best dog ever, lol.
hobbit is the best dog ever :P
far away shot of two: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pho to.php?pid=675429&id=515764633
true, Ata, still ;)
*grin*
link (maybe) to the rest: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index. cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friend ID=189226965&albumId=590785
Got the other 8 now.:)
go Jac gooooo
I get my own facebook page whatever I do, with that link, grrrrr
hobbit, that's a cute name, ata
if all goes as planned, our dog will be called Terra
sorry, sprite, don't have them on the desktop
she's a cute dog :)
is there a not cute dog? lol
am probably doing something wrong on my side, shdy
you'd have to ask Lizsark that one :P
Here's the short link to shdy's pics: http://tinyurl.com/5hjjvs
no, sprite, just not as smart as jac!
tinyurl is really useful for links, shdy. BTW, your 'Fang' looks a bit like my cat.
oh shdy they are lovely! Thanks Jac for the tiny url.
oh shdy they are lovely! Thanks Jac for the tiny url.
I am left with a P7. Am I being blind or is it a weird word?
p7 = rice fields or 'bad tempers', Sprite. Or maybe Irishmen.
fang is a rescue as well, jac, she has a stub of a tail, mom had no tail, of 5 kittens 2 had none, 2 had tails, and Fang had a stub
I think I have that one, the Irishmen I mean. Must be another one?
we caught all, had all fixed, then found homes, no pound involved
great job, shdy!
It's the only p7 I have so far, Sprite. Still got 46 words to find.
fang was named because she attacked us when she was about the size of my foot, viciously, now she is sweet as can be
BRB - cat's nagging me to let him out.
ok, lickety says there is another one, I am off to a2z for my last one. Will tell you in a bit whether I was stupid or the word was tough.
bed time, night all, thanks for being you and for being great company!
night shdy!
fireworks. A totally new word for me, that other P7. Any clue wanted for it?
I'm back. 'Night shdy.
night shdy, sleep well!
Cat has a strange morning ritual. He eats half of his food and then comes to fetch me. I have to stand over him while he eats and purrs (not sure how he does both at same time) and then he goes out into the garden. I wonder if the standing over him thing has anything to do with him losing his mother?
going once, going twice...
Well done Sprite!
I'll take a clue for it, please.
awwww Jac, could very well be. Sweet!
awwww cu4, Jac!
pa7/44 same start as the other one, last 4 letters are the ruler in this grid (persian or Iranian king)
yes please sprite and Fab Fireorks!
what an odd word!
What the heck does that word mean?
THANKS! sprite
turkish / persian ruler
Thanks Sprite. Wouldn't have got that unless I'd gone to the list.
I have no idea, even infoplease doesn't know it.
same here, I had to open lickety and a2z to find it.
Ata - I see, Wiki says it means 'master king'. So it's a 'posher' version of the last part of the word.
Ata found it. "a very prestigious title, which is composed from the Persian words "master" and the better-known title "king", which was adopted by several Islamic monarchies claiming the highest rank, roughly equivalent to Christian Emperors or the ancient notion of a "Great King".
I was trying to find some word like that without really knowing what I was looking for. Some book I like has a girl who is the pa*i**-something emperor and it was sticking in my mind
all the things we learn from babble :D Thanks all, I had a great babble time today with you all. Have fun and *hugs* from me.
I've seen the word with the 'i' in it, Ata.
'Bye Sprite. Lovely to 'see' you again.
oh really? it's not just my overactive imagination this morning? good!
5 more mins and I'd better go and get dressed. I've been up nearly 2 hours! Have to go shopping and then have 4 Xmas cakes to ice and decorate.
don't want to be off either, but must prepare for sinterklaas tonight :) *poof*
4! goodness
One for us, one for my Mum, one for my daughter and one for Other Half's Mum, Ata.
yum!
I'll put photos in my blog later.
I'm a bit behind with the blog; haven't done it for days!:(
have you got an rss feed to your blog?
Don't think so, Ata. It's invitation only.
Want an invite?
Don't worry about refusing if you don't. LOL
LOL, I would if you had rss. But I never remember to read people's blogs unless I can read them on my main blogging site!
hi, jac, atalante and all of you!
Ata - I don't think you can keep a blog private with RSS feed, can you?
Hi Pam.
8-), jac
I don't know, jac! I've never had to look into that
I'll have to find out, Ata.
I suspect you can, but I woudln't know how
36 to find but they'll have to wait until later. I'd better get on with the day. BBL. Happy Babbling. x
ciao, jac
bye jac!
hallo
'lo?
hi matty
Everyone's very quiet....something I said?
don't think so matty, it's early for me, and coffee hasn't kicked in yet
;)
morning, my friends. It's beginning to look like Christmas at our house. Decorations are going up, inside and out. My husband loves decorating. We didn't do much last year because of the move/unpacking, so this year, he's making up for it.
Hi Angel!

Its bloody horrid if you ask me. IN A GOOD way. Have a look at my profile for the link

Yah. how the heck did that happen?
I lvoe 60s adn 70s wallpaper
no idea! I swear the damn thing just jumped off its hinges!
ouch. BAD STove
bastard thing
you were lucky
OH I have the funniest thing to tell you to cheer you up
oh yes? :D
Ok I was out to dinner with the b.f on a date :D any way I went to the bar and I saw out the corner of my eye this person whispering something to her diner partner. You know that type of whisper that is so obvious but its not meant to be like high school bitchy girls?
yep
Ok well it turns out when I had a second glance it was someone I don't like. I thought it was amusing that I was so interesting that she must talk about me like that
oh yes! lol!
awww Hobbit's come to say hi
Well she is really skanky. Has had naked pics in the grab mags and on adult matching website. she is all class. So i just sucked up to my full height, stuck out my boobs (i was wearing my fav low top) and slunk past
good for you! woohoo!
It was a Saturday I was on a date with himself. It was brill
love it when things like that happen
Hey Isn't remaced a word? Isn't that what you do to an attacker?
it should be
Yep. Even the b.f had a good obvious look at her. So subtle
I had fun on facebook yesterday, an old old friend said hi on chat. He used to be madly in looove with me. Like 15 years ago. And then he said he'd never got married cos he'd never got over me. awwwww! what a sweetie!
OH that is sweet but really scary too
morning everone:)
HI Crossie
morning ata,crushing mens hearts again? lol
I know! what on earth can you say to that!!
I think freak out and run
I seem to do this to men! If they like me, they fall in love for ever and EVER AND EVER
Ok so im doing this Hatching egg thing on facebook and now random people are asking for friend requests when i was giving something out
ca5/16 anyone? the one after 'unable' and before 'almost my real name?'
dont have it
Never mind - found it
me too now
I still can't see the Re 8 or di?
re8 - past tense of an re6
di + chemicals
ta
Chemicals?
sleepy gas
OH for frog sake i didn't see the C
TA - must go out, have nails to have done, eyebrows to wax. Back later :)
re8: a color+what one did on a stage.
Thanks I got it but i feel so dumb for not seeing the C
Thank you
I thought the di 7 was a distaff food regimen
HI BR
hello, herin
hello all, don't get the clue for the re8
NM got the re8
Hi peri
ok, I'm going to lie down for a bit. suddenly a little bit shaky!
OH ATa go see the quack would you
pah, I'm fine. need Hobbit cuddles :)
I am getting a vibe that you are not.
good morning babblers :)
HI Nono
the male species sitting in the grid big as life and so far only used it a couple of times
yes
hi folks ! turning chat on.. fun grid so far!
howdy aloy
HI Aloy. My kitty just appeared all cranky at being discovered in her hidey hole
aww, how old is your kitty?
Morning Aloy
hi cross and Nono
about a year and a half. She snuck into the back room to curl up on the toys. I couldn't find her I opened the door flicked on the light and there she was
good Morning...Have coffe and babble! Blueberry muffins baking.
HI Red.
herin, you never sleep!
I didn't much last night but you forget upside down time
or is that reverse time
no, I mean, every time I log on I see you!
Oh. I did go out today.
;)
I went out between about 1330 till about 2230
Were you celebrating?
Or shopping. I need to finish Christmas...wrappig, shopping etc.
nup. I went shopping in my old town which is a cess pit for clothes but that was a huge fail. I did buy new laptop cooling mats which work like a dream. I wouldn't have gone if it wasn't for clothes. I spotted something the other day when i was there getting his gift
ahhh, clothes. I should get some.
Came home and b.f took me out for tea. Yah happy squeel
No clothes fit. Im inbetween sizes and the clothes looked wrong
Well...It could be worse Herin!
needle case alert
TY Aloy. Hello, How are you?
OH worse do you want to hear worse?
Probably not Herin.
I have hovered at the 229 pound mark for about six months and that is still not good enough for my mother. Oh no she thought I would be at the 209 mark now.
I'm watching Recession news.
Herin, why even tell her your weight.
great, red.. polishing off this grid, hafta get a movie back this morning to avoid a late fee.. how are you?
I'm really good. Aloy, a little too busy, but...enjoying the "winter".
because it was mentioned. She never knew I was at about 250 last year
me too.. haven't done anything for the holidays, feeling twinges of guilt.. but am finishing up a Naturalist course and need to get my project in before the deadline (Dec. 15th)..
Aloy...did you go bird watching for the Nautralist course? I am lovign the bird here.
Herin. Just tell Mom to stuff it.
oh yes indeedy.. fab birding
yep.
Lovely Ata
hello everyone!
Ata, Is Haz well? She has not been here for a while.
Hi annie
hi herin!
hi Annie!
and Aloy!
Hi Annie. Aloy I am so jealous. Perhaps tomorro I shall go to Lake Louisa.
have missed chatting with Haz
Hi red!
Hi Annie
(-: am proud to be a bird nerd, red..
Hi Nono
Have not seen Haz since everyone was going off about her views of giving clues
My Mom tells me that people who make fun of birders are just missing a lot of things.
Aloy, there are so many beautiful birds in Florida
Hi Nanette.
Haz has not been aropund which is too bad.
when was that nono?
no kidding.. your mom is right.. how better to connect to nature than to watch birds?
I do miss her being here
Nono, I believe that is the case and I miss her
was about a week ago Dorens
hi all.... and speaking of birds in florida, i am going to sanibel .. home of the roseate spoonbills
ooooh Dorens, Cool!
yay, Dorens.. enjoy! Hope you see a lot of them
i am sorry to hear that... she is entitled to her views, we all are, and she has never been rude to anyone, as far as I know
I may start a life list ....for birds that is.
absolutely Dorens
kayaking in ding darling, i expect to.... and loads of pelicans
do it, red... then join your local Audubon chapter and you will meet some really neat people from all over
opps puter starting a scan, will be back later
Haz has always been the nicest and cleverest and funniest babbler
Oh I should. We have Sandhill cranes that live in the apartment complex, its bizarre.
hope she's back soon (and i have agreed with her in the past). yes, red that sounds like a good idea
I miss Haz's clues, she knew how to give them!
Aloy...thats a great idea.
one of the best
lol, they can get very assertive if there is food around.. we used to have some hang out at the local strawberry stand
dorens, I have agreed with Haz all the way..she had the guts to say it.....come back, Haz!!
Hazels style of cluing made me think alot i do miss her ,if you read this Hazel please come Back
well, i think she has a huge fan club and will be back
I hope so, dorens...
If we are forming a "come back Haz" club, sign me up..
Good lord, who was rude to Haz?
that's what i'd like to know
OH i am lucky tonight My fav musicians are tv.
lurking again - but me too - I think Haz is fab and her clues are really helpful
I just got BlueBerrie muffins out of the oven, does anyone want? I also have nice coffee.
And less importantly, why?
ooh, tyvm red.. i can smell them from here! Yummmmmm
yes red, would love both.. .have to leave in 6 minutes for yogalaties class and i have had nothing yet
I think people were just saying some people like easier clues Haqz though gives clues that you can get if you think.
i think it was the 2nd of dezember ,or around there
Me, Red!
sam, supposedly because of her clues on viewing, which are shared by many of us!
That R is all RE words yes?
Some people do like or need easier clues. I don't see what that has to do with her clues, which are always thought provoking and fun
would think so, herin
You never no
opps KNOW even
problem is when people complain about clues being too hard... and expect to be spoon fed all the time
serving up Muffins and coffee, have cream, milk, soymilk, sugar, sorry will not serve splenda.
Yes Dorens, there are a few violaters, 2 I can think of immediately.
Oh that doesn't bother me dorens. If people want to be handed the puzzle, and other people are willing to do the handing, let 'em roll, is what I say. I'm not going to let it ruin my game
yum
nothing ruins my game
So . . . what's the problem then? I'm confused! lol
it can be annoying in chat though...especially when they ask for clue after clue after clue...makes one feel used.
Oh, I'm just very casual about answering, except when I want to. LOL
i mean, sometimes people can be somewhat annoying, i am somewhat of a curmudgeon,and yes, what red said. but it doesn't ruin my game
exactly, I just avoid chat when they are here.
to me, aside from chat, the appeal of Babble centers around "discovery".. snooping in the grid and waking up your brain to see the words finally appear.. thats why I turn off chat when I first go through the grid.. so the fun is not spoiled.. guess others are not so excited about "discovery".. but that is their preog
how do you spell preogative?
you know what i mean, lol
perogative?
perogative..
prerogative. gotta run.. see you
ty Annie and red (-:
It's prerogative, actually
h'mm... ok, ty..
I think Sam and dorens have the right spelling
missed an r.. no wonder it didn't look right
Well, dictionary.com does. I bow to their authority
Oooooh yes now that I see it...
Oh lordie my dogs. They both desperately need to be let outside, but when I open the door they realize how COLD it is out there and stand there at the door looking pitiful
Toss them out
Samantha is it TX here you are? and cold? Oh no.
I have a hard time resisting the big eyes of the fuzzbuckets
Yes, it is texas, and it's storming. It's not *really* cold but it hit the thirties again last night
thats really cold to me.
Do you have a sheltered area for them to pee in
They're both wearing thick fur coats!
Well, if they choose to leave the porches they can go into the barn :)
toss them out. THink of how unpleasant a full bladder is!
ITs still COLD
ok, off to the races.. Happy Babbling all.. see you next grid.. (-: PS, red.. hint to someone that you want an Aud. membership for Christmas.. (I don't get a commission, really, lol)
OK, they're out now. Apparently there was a deer to be chased out there; that's harder to ignore than the cold
Hi everyone.
G'bye Aloy; hello scrabbler
LOL aoly. have a nice day@ Hi Scrabbler.
Hi Scrabbler!
Aw, Scrabbs.. sorry to miss you.. catch you next time.. poof
Bye Aloy. Enjoy the day.
bye aloy!
Scrabbler, Have you been skiing yet?
scrabbs!:)) BUNNIES!:))))))))
Nope, but soon. I would ski this weekend but I am on call the entire weekend (I have to go to work soon) and it is a pain to be paged while skiing in the woods.
Hi crossy
we have the snow guns roaring and have a 50 cm base scrabby;)
hi crossy!
howdy annie;)))
The ski resorts here are quite happy too.
Hi Scrabler
we are indeed scrabbs
oh! work pic of the day.....
Hi herin
I hope people are taking advantage of the slopes...
Halfway and NBT! Wheeee!
Around here everyone is so happy to have such an early start to the season.
Yaaay Sam Joy!
Go Samantha go!
http://tinyurl.com/66m2yz
A winter wonderland, Cross.
very nice! Glad to not be in it though. Brrrrr.
oh its a wonder..i havent had dry feet in 6 weeks lol
But, take snowy roads + driving downhill in a car and ---> car accident. Waaahhh. :-( But no injuries and my car will get fixed. It's just money.
afternoon everyone
Hi Kitt
when did you do that scrabbs?
howdy katie
Oh No Scrabbs, when did that happen???
Well I am glad you're all right Scrabbler. That is the most important part.
You OK scrabbler, I read it on facebook
Scrabbs, glad you are not hurt...there are many cars and only one Scrabbler
My husband just got out of bed. I am going to go give him some love. Bye all.
Well Said Annie.
I am OK--not sore today. Just annoyed. And replaying it in my head. But there was nothing I could do. I basically went sledding in my car and smashed into the car ahead of me that stopped to turn left.
ooo samantha you devil:)
TY, Annie.
Cross your view looks lovely
I'm glad you are OK, replaying is normal it's the fright of how much worse it could have been
that is very frightening
ty herin..that what i get to see at work today
The air bag never blew up even, that's how slow it was--just me sliding downhill.
da
Hi Beth--out with it, don't hold back.
hello everyone
I've just been shopping that was a frightening experience!!
good job Ktie. I need to do that.
Christmas shopping is very very frightening!
Hi aslindy
I am excited though, I am going to get new glasses today, or at least get the exam.
just stopping in to say hi - so sorry to hear about your "sledding" accident, scrabbler - hope you are OK
JBV! How are you and the other half???
JBV, how is your hubby?
I'm not going out again before Christmas, it was horrible. We only went so hubby could pick up my christmas gift I had ordered on line yesterday - we need to work on the surprise part of Christmas
hi, everyone - my few moments of sanity each day are the ones I spend here - each day we're hoping to hear better news: hubby has been in the hospital for 16 days now...
Oh no JBV, I hope he is getting good care.
OH JBV.
Is he getting better JBV?
JBV, Wasn't your husband supposed to come home last weekend?
came out of surgery very well, but then some minor and one major complication - I can't go into details - but doctors are guardedly optimistic he will soon be able to take liquids and then solid food, etc. and come home - when? maybe this week
Make sure those urses wash hands....
er nurses.
Oh I hope so JBV, make sure you take care of yourself as well as him
Will be thinking of him and you JB
kris u here hi all
Yes Lynn
im sorry i must of missed it jbv..what did he go in for?
red, we have some nurses who are truly angels - he actually manages to joke around with them = and then for the others, well, that's why I'm there
((JBV & husband))--it sucks to be a patient. I do hope he improves rapidly and soon.
hello all and sorry to hear that jbv.
boy do i have a story for u later!
Hands!
well call me NPOW
now even
sorry I am a bit obsessive.
big surgery, cross, bladder repair and more - only time will tell if it's all ok
thats a good thing in a nurse red :-)
Germs are naughty, very naughty.
red, I don't think that is obsessive. In the hospital, I think you can't wash your hands enough!
and in the middle of all that, I also had a small fender bender - it seems the driver behind me "sledded" into me - no snow, just not paying attention to the slow traffic ahead
help re 6/ 24, please
Ugh. I have tried to do that often...but managed not too. Sorry JBV.
I did that years ago to someone, he took it really well all things considered
Oh, dear, JBV. I felt so BAD for the lady I slid into, but she was SO kind--"Are you OK? I am OK. That's all that matters. Cars can get fixed."
My daughter did it just the other night in the heavy rain. Hydroplaned into another car and they both ended up in the median...no one was hurt, thank goodness.
we were the same, scrabbler, state police arrived and handled it all very professionally - any other day, I might have been stressed out, but since I have bigger fish to fry, that was just a minor blip on my radar
It is scary, Nonnie.
I have to prioritize my stresses - anyway it's so nice to know you are all there and wishing us well - I mostly find my Babble moments late at night, so good luck to all - and hope to chat again soon
It was slow motion, knowing that I was sliding on the snow and had no option but to hit the car ahead.
I was rear ended twice in a week years ago, the second time I got out ready to yell at the person who had hit me and she was very very pregnant. I ended up calming her down, looking after her 2 year old & dad fixed her car
Wow, I am just amazed by the job layoffs. I may increase my charity shopping. I dont know why our local target doesnt have bins for food and gifts.
It is, scrabbs. She was so shaken by it and the fellow she ran into was so kind to her. He said "I looked up and saw this big truck coming at me and now I'm wondering why my pants aren't wet."
{{{JBV}}}
JBV, take one day at a time, keep your husband cheery and positive. Be patient with recovery.
Bye JBV, take care we are thinking of you
just coming in but hugs to JBV and Hubby
Hi DR
JBV, if he has to stay in hospital much longer, get him a water pistol, for the nasty nurses.
and doctors.
REd. The local pet store has a round up of food for the Lost Dogs home. HEres a suggestion close the pet store and buy from the pound
Is this a mean grid or am I having a thick day?
As a doctor, I admit that I dislike most other doctors.
Hi Scrabs and Red
jbv, you and your husband will be in my thoughts and prayers!
I have hit the wall at 93 found, Kitt.
thanks for all the good advice - love you all!
LOL scrabbler, as a surveyor I dislike most other surveyors ;-)
Herin your pet store sells Dogs? Hard to find a pet store selling dogs these days....how odd.
JBV. Breath. Take a bath and go yell into a pillow if you need to
Thanks scrabbler, I only have 73 and it's not coming easy
JBV we love you too.
Haha, Kitt. Once one becomes an insider one discovers all of the dirty little secrets of the profession.
our pet stores aren't allowed to sell cats or dogs now, they only stock rabbits, hamster, degus, chincillas, rats etc
degus? I've never heard of that?
Yes, same here, except Pet Smart has adoptable dogs from shelter....
what is a degus?
it's like most of the surveyors I know joint the "up themselves" club the day they become qualified
I have to leave for work in 45 minutes, so I need to get ready. I have a rental car for $23/day.
They sell dogs and cats. its bloody disgusting
Our petsmart and petco do the same, red.
lol Red- I was going to ask that
enjoy work Scrabb.
It's kind of a rat type thing, really nice actually, nearly got some but decided that 3 cats was enough!
bye bye scrabbs and have a doog day.
common scrabbs,you can admit it to us in here..you keep them darn stethascopes in tiny freezers right?
I WILL have a doog day, Nonnie, LOL.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degu
Nope these are quality dogs from a breeder. if you believe that your an idiot
lol cross
Our hands too Cross...
bye scrabs
No, crossy, I have a "non-chill" rim on my stethy. It is my hands that are always cold.
I have a quality dog from a breeder, he is a putz.
bye, scrabbs
By breeder I mean No papers and no hip scores
We had real trouble trying to find kittens when Rhubarb & Crumble joined our family, the shelters didn't have any and you can't sell them in shops or advertise them in papers
I wish they did that here. Ditch the puppy mills and back yard breeders. You don't have all day to hear about my rant against pet stores
I agree with you herin, I think it still goes on though. We went out to the farm to get R&C so we could see that they were kittens from farm cats
Hello again Babblers, computer scan is done and I am back to find last 68 words
Our kitties were found by someone and they brought them to the girl who works in our vet's office. I made the mistake of lamenting out loud that our daughter took her cats when she moved out. We're now the proud owner of two very active and curious cats. Don't they settle down after two years of age?
A farm you mean horses and stuff right?
Nonnie no
hello nono!
cats, settle down? Your kidding right, Nonnie
ours are 20 months and there is no sign of it yet
my cats are 12 and 13 years old and still get into lots of mischief
My exs 15 year old had kitten moments
I think crumble wants the fire on she is sitting on my lap warming herself on the laptop which is now on the very edge of my knees
I was afraid of that. We've only ever had one at a time and it didn't seem quite this um entertaining (I guess is a good word for it). :o)
Ask DC he has a kind old man cat
May I please have a clue for the Pa 7,44 ?
My Mom has 3 cats, but one is 17 he pretty much hangs out these days.
all 3 of ours have taken to playing together I could watch it for hours
more than one ricefiled Kris
mines a snob and is in the spare room
* Rice field
ricefile ahhhhhhhhh ok
better go crumble is going to push the lap top off soon! see you all later
one of my cats will not show her face when company comes to the house, she is strictly a family cat and wants nothing to do with anyone else

Hi FLosey
Hi FLosey
my wife favorite cheese is in the grid today;)
Good afternoon everyone.
howdy elder;)
does it count as a word crossy?
Hi elder!
its a word
no flosey, I tried it twice
ty
crossy, I tried "edam" and it would not take
ah, I see the other one
its an f word annie
wrong type of cheese
thats the one
yes, I see it now
ah, now I see it!
ah yes, have that one
So, how is everyone? fine I hope.
Hi Elder
Great, Elder and you?
great thanks elder, and you?
I am fine, elder and you?
hi Elder, doing well here thanks
except that I seem to be dislexic with the keyboard this mroning
lol--I can relate, nono
yes thank you. Not been in for a while so wanted to catch up to hear you were all ok. and to make sure Cross was now managing to eat well.
doing fine elder,back to my piggy old self;0
crossy, have you been constructing your basket weave bacon sandwiches?
Cross.. that has to be a good sign :)
had a mammogram yestdat though,dont know how you ladies do that all the time...my man-boobs are hurting today;(
ugh, painful
ac 6/24 first one please?
sorry crossy we sypathize with you
Sorry to hear that, cross.
crossy, we practice by slamming them in refrigerator doors before we go for the real thing...
Cross, not pleasant, but the bigger the breast the easier:)
stick a couple of vowels on the first ac4
i mean if there was something there im sure it is squashed flat or popped when they are done with you lol
lol pastor
pastor LOL!!
Oh gosh. I got in trouble at my Mammo. i had one at 35 for lumpiness, I kept trying to move about and look never knew I could be cube shaped!!!
lol red
Red :)
I have not had another since then however.
You can get some good technicians and then you can get some bad technicians. I've learned to ask for the more gentler, kinder one, cross.
cheese? Edam is not a word. :(
they had a sample board with 4 silicone boobs on it with different lomps in it so you can get "feel" for what your checking for..was goona try it,but i think id look like a wacko if some woman walked in for her test :( lol
wow just greyed the r tile those were easy today
rofl cross
Oh cross youshould have.
lol cross
I agree with Red
ac6? i did get it another clue perhaps?
there's a new technology where you just lay down and there are these cups and there's much less radiation and it's more comfortable, they've just begun using them a bit in europe.
Ok... speaking of boobs, I am going to attempt to make a turkey boob today.
lol red
Have never done it.
red .. is that a food or a dressing up style.?
nor I red, was sent for repeat, then ultrasound, then to the surgeon who decided it was arthritis in ribs beneath the breast
i like the idea of less radiation hurshy I hope it catches on here in the states
A food, a turkey breast!
Flosey I did the US, and the doc told me I as normal...
ahh.
I have no history so..
ac 6 -- add press radio tv: m****; pl
And I like the idea of less pain. I put is off just because I'm a big baby.
im off for a bit ladies,my better half want the puter so tc all: and ill be back later:)
haven't had one since
bye cross.
bye bye crossy
bfn crossy

hi runner
back - nail and eyebrows plucked prodded and painted
woot for matty
hello matty!
i need to get my eyebrows threaded... adding on to do list
se 6 -- sine cosine and se 6
must go get meds around for hubby to take.... happy babbling everyone
i need to get my back plucked
bye bye nono
bye nono - hagd
there is a happy thought ren
lol ren
byebye nono
Threaded sounds painful - I had mine waxed
I hate the pesky man-hairs that have started to crop up now that I'm (gasp) past 50!
threading is no more painful than waxing and is more precise... and does not make me break out. I have sensitive skin, so the wax irritates it
Is threading more expensive?
there's a blue wax you nuke in the wave - rub it on and peel it off - does not hurt
no.... usually cheaper actually - i pay $8
you find it at ethnic salons, usually indian, and they are less expensive in general i think
Wow--I wonder why they don't advertise that? Is it usually done at salons?
Oh, OK...you answered my question :o)
Ren, at home?
it isn't common outside of asia... i think a lot of people just do not know. an indian friend introduced me in baltimore... and i was immediately sold... i avoided waxing b/c of the 4-5 day post waxing bumps
yes - at home
how often do you have to go back
i would not trust myself to wax my own eyebrows... i shudder at how badly i could screw that up - LOL
My brows grow so thick, I'd probably have to have a roping!
me too
lol Nonnie
kje - they make eyebrow paint for those mistakes :)
ok halfway and hubby is awake... bbl-
nonnie - think of who uses it... indian women have thicker hair in general, and that is who does it... i have seen some of them get their side burns and such done also... interesting
tell him we all say happy birthday!!!! bye dr
my mom has eyebrow tattoos, or paint or something scary... very unnatural looking . but her brows are naturally very blond and she doesn't like that
have a beautiful day everyone
*Poof*
and today is my mom's birthday, so i need to call her right now
Speaking of paint...I have a co-worker who paints hers on but she gets them just a little too high. It always looks like she is surprised or something...
lol DR - i will
bye bye dr
tell her happy borthday from my hubby
LOL nonnie
poof for real
hahaha nonnoe - i was thinking of kje w/ surprised eyebrows
absolutely. hagd dr
lol somethings are better left to the professionals!
my eyebrows will be perfect, thank you very much renny!
well, since I "fired" my housecleaner, I guess I best get moving <rolling eyes>
my daughter found a set of ridiculously expensive tweezers at sephora which work so incredibly well it's worth the $$. they pluck everything first grab, no matter how small
bye nono--- having second thoughts about that now, i bet
later nonnie
be like us nonnie... just sit and babble amid the squalor, after a while you don't even notice it anymore
Yep, especially since it was my daughter! I thought it was a win-win situation...I needed the help and she could have used the money. She fizzled on me.
sorry nonnie
lol dorens, I usually do but company is coming. I have to pretend I keep a tidy place. You all take care and have a wonderful day!
how old is she nonnie?
i've been waiting on my cats to learn to clean
you too. (i have closets filled with stuff from those days)
23 dorens, old enough to do better (I thought) <poof>
Ok I am finally uploading Disney Photos to Facebook.
Hi folks! The new bakfiets will be here in about an hour! So I came on to bug you good folks for a bit instead of staring out the window for an hour.
morning all...a clue pls for my last word...pa 7/44?
Don't have it yet, sorry!
i just looked up from the screen and a spider was lowering himself downright in front of my head.... now he is dead
pa 7 --- slang for a residence and the title of the predecessor of the ayatollah khomeini
She. But don't mind me, I'm a raging pedant.
i detest spiders...they give me the willies!
TY BR
thanx BR...fireworks
Woo hoo - my favourite babblet - et4/5. Yay
he was a small spider... but still, i am sitting in bed... they are not allowed in the bedroom... so now dead
woohoo kim!!!
Yay Kim!
ty for the babblet alert
congrats, kim
squish a spider and you gets rain
don't care
we could use rain... no biggie
There was an absolutely massive wolf spider in the bedroom a while back. My husband has a phobia so I had to catch it... they're aggressive when threatened and can jump, and have a nasty bite. But I got rid of it without serious incident.
egad!!!!!
Body was about an inch long.
One of the bigger oines I have ever seen.
i can't think about it...
*note to self... beware of wolf spiders in holland*
It's gone!
spiders (wolf spider being an exception) eat bugs and therefore usually save me from bites. I am a spider fan
i can take anything else...bugs,snakes,rodents....no prob, but spiders.....
Kje, they are usually very secretive, so just avoid polking around wood piles and dark sheds. We think this one came in because of the sudden and intense downpour.
i usually let them live for exactly that reason... but they are not allowed in the bedroom... usual penalty is capital punishment
Oh, I love spiders... just not huge biting ones in the bedroom. I didn't KILL it!
It's a two storey drop into bushes out that window. No danger to a spider, gets it well out of range for us.
capital punishment any where in the house...barely tolerate outside...
hums come to australia things bite
(including trees)
I'm from Califoenia. Things bite there too, although not as many, I admit.
yes, it was a shock moving back to texas from maryland... i had forgotten how big bugs get here.. and nasty ones too like scorpions and such.... sigh
Just try convincing Dutch people that it is not at all rare to come into visual contact with a poisonoius spider or snake.
We have most of the deadliest snakes and spiders
de 6 -- add a flying dinasaur: ptera****yl; extend for the 8
Yeah, that is true, you do.
Must be west Texas kje
i always complain that there is way too much wild life here compared to my house in MD
date
sorry wrong box
b.f had a posionous spider on him the other day. Small thing and I slapped it off him.
no... it ould be worse in west texas... i am central
Resisting urge to look out window. He's probably not even out of the Hague yet. Rrrrrgh......
br - that clue doesn't seem to work
hill country? Austin?
unless i am misspelling the dino, which is a real possibility
i think BR meant re 6...
I'm near Austin
Oh, in that case I already have it.
aaahhh - that works, TY kim
yw
i am in dallas, wild
i wish i lived in austin... much cooler
cooler as in hip, not cooler as in weather
uhh even in Texas terms that is not near Austin
Phantom: paucities
I know
apparently my phantoms were size and sizes... the 1st 2 words i tried to enter this morning
I grew up in Houston and every one in my family except me went to UT and I went to Rice
I was wondering that kje....more music?
why?
more liberal, good music, funkier, more down to earth, less big blonde hair, less pretentious, more scenery, a nice lake...etc
I am done
Yay Herin!!!!
woohoo her!
this little kitty needs sleep. See you all sometime later tommorow
Night Herin, sleep well!
less miss ellie?
i lived in houston for 4 years jmcnrick
more cowboy possers. . . .;-)

I pulled a 26 hour day earlier this week
not on purpose mind you
poof
fun grid too
Wondering if it's safe to start staring out the window....
cam...are you there?
It hypes the dog up and standing too long wears my back out but the bakfiets is on the way!
fixed?
I hope
Dear god, all those re words. Sigh
fortunately, all the r words start with r
The bakfiets? No, mine died the final and ugly death, and right while i was panicking and going through some hell getting Walter to school, my dad said he was sending 400 Euros and to see what I could find for it... and I found a Christiania Light! The guy's driving it out for an HOUR, free of extra costs. Got him a nice bottle of wine for his trouble.
well sounds like it ended well
br - the other 8?
Hope so! He swears it's in good shape. I'm committed now.
Huh, Babble? I'd have thought they would, yes ?
Seems like a very nice guy from his e-mails. I'm sure (knock on wood...) that it's fine.
di 6 --- distaff food regimem
di 8/50...its a plural
Fabulous price for one of the best makes. After mine it'll probably feel like a balloon to ride.

Including two SE7s, which I've yet to get
four doors
thx for the hints...looking!

mine's a pic from last nite with my frozen pup demonstrating the only comfy posture since I'm trying to keep the thermostat turned down!
theme of the day?
awwwwwwww
yep, it was "ugly wallpaper" :-)
ok *checking to see the theme* but still is it not unusual that you picked the same?
no, cos this is the UGLIEST wallpaper!

ohh.well you all succeeded for sure
oh, did she?! too funny!
hello all

mmmmmmm tea

Hello fellow Babblers. How is the grid today?
interesting, nef
getting tricksy
does that mean hard? If it was under 150, I *think* I might finish before the flip; but I have a lot of stuff to do today and don't want to start otherwise
no i don't think it's hard, but it has its usual share of unusual words... i'm down to 23 and it hasn't really been challenging, just interesting
okay; I'll give it a whirl then! :-D
no, not hard. not easy either. but fun!
ok cool, so ata and I agree... hope nef does too
and the 8 letter words aren't stupidhead ones either
i actually only have one of them. need to find the other now
20 words so far; so I'm off and running (for now!) ;)
go go Nef!
finished the dasterdly d's and down to 14... come on nef!
GoDorens!
go go Dorens!
<why is it I always want just ONE letter different or in a different spot in these larger grids?>
that's the "fun" of it!
LOL! True! But I keep spelling the wrong words! ;-)
happy saturday babblers
back for my last 35
i'm down to one elusive word... and the funniest thing is that is that what we do with our catnip would fit in (alphabetically) where my missing word is!\hi josh
(maybe a few too many that's there?)
firewords!
yay dorens!
woohoo Dorens!!
WTG, Dorens!!!! Hi, josh
woohoo, dorens!
yay dorens!
still waiting for the heat and the hot cup of earl grey to warm me up. think i need to go to my bedroom which is toastier and will come back later to clue
good idea
moving right along here... back from shovelling and driving daughter to work. Now it's raining - freezing rain. Lovely (not).
Eww, Lady! Shoveling means there is already snow there? And rain on top of it? NOT fun!!!
indeed, Nef
yukky yukky Ds
22 left
we had about 3 inches last nite
Go go Lady!
I have returned for 76. But no I have dialated eyes so it might be interesting...
we haven't had very much snow, all things considered. It's been very dry out west. Only in the last couple of days, just a bit. Enough to cover the ground, though.
any clues for that bottom left H word? If I get that one, I can go do some work with my bottom and right rows of tiles greyed out
past tense of an ha4
ha6 - past tense
bbl
bye wildkitty
NEf, I think its a small plural laugh....
Hard to know exactly because of the other H there.
I obviously don't have that ha4; but I need to get to work. At least I have a good start (72 words). S I'll BBL. Bye fr now
congratulations Dorens!!!
that H in the bottom left corner is definitely the past tense of the 4,6... it's a 6,27... breakfast potatoes are often called "ha* browns"
Ooooh I had that, but didnt kno which H it came from.
I know because I was doing what Nef was doing, and trying to grey out tiles along the way
Thanks, Lady. I couldn't leave (even though I said I was!) until I found it! Now I wiill really <POOF!>
I am uploading my disney Photos, and waiting for my poor eyes to undilate form my eye exam....Babble doesnt bother them much but I am sitting in the dark.
those te's have me befuddled
I have a te 6 ort of a funny nick name for omeone named theodore...and a plural of that.
thanks, that just confirmed what I was about to try :)
Yaaay Lady!
ty red
YW jm.
boy I am now stuck.
i'm trying to find the last n, i have only na answers... does anybody have a hint?

Howdilly Doodilly, neighbors.
Judi i Flanders from the Simpsons!!!!! Hi Jui!
o... i have 5 versions of na, is there a six or is it a different root word?
all na... the last one looks like a plural, but the singular form doesn't work. rhymes with ma5,12
ok. thank you very much
you're very welcome
and that's fireword for me!
er... firewords*
that was a fun board.
woohooo lady!
yeah lady
ty ty :D
and now, I'll be off to something else for a bit. Then I have things to do around the house.
Have fun everyone! happy babbling!
I'm due to have my eyeballs dialated on Monday, Red. Always a treat.
why would one have their eyeballs dilated?
Well, I am glad it i done for a while now. and I have new glases coming.
Yes. I'll be getting new contacts and new glasses. Wish I could afford the laser surgery. Probably not in this lifetime.
I've seen ome people have bad result from the Laer urgery, so I just avoid it.
I've heard more good than bad stories. Always dicey messing with the eyes, though. I'm happy with contacts, so I'm not complaining.
I figure with oe bad reult, I could be the one to loe vision, so, contacxts for me, this new kind for astigmatism is reall nice.
so I have been monkeying my heart out with sn and still only have found the obvious one. Any help?
I wear one Toric and one soft lense, Red. You?
I'm still intrigued by this eyeball dilation? What is that for?
I jut got two new soft ones for atigmatim.
Ata, it allows the eye doctor to look at your optic nerve and blood vesels and see if they are healthy.
Drops in the eyes to dilate your pupils, Ata. Allows doc to see more of the inner eye.
oh I see
It isnt bad, but if it is a bright sunny day, like today, it can make being outide hard because your pupil cant contract for a while...
Recommended every two years. It's really cool if they put it up on a screen while they're doing it. Course, it's hard to see if you've been dilated. Makes things very blurry for a few hours. They lie and tell you it will only last for an hour, but it always lasts much longer.
Hello Babblers!
Hi, Jellen!
Yes, I wwent to the local Wal Mart for my stuff, becaue I am cheap...and then spent at least an hour purchasing toy truck for the pre school we adopted at work...
hi jell
Wow, Red. That was one scrutinized truck!
we don't really have that done here for standard eye tests
It's bound to make its way across the pond, Ata. Technology creeps globally.
not for eye tests ata but we do for contact lenses as i have to have it done every so often for mine
I adopted an Angel for a local charity---found a 12-year-old boy who wanted art supplies!
Well, I was looking for something inexpensive. Yesterday I found soccer ball for 4 buck...
Cool Jellen!!!
ooooh I haven't! how bizarre. (for contacts I mean)
That's sweet of you, Jellen! Good karma.
I uppoe it depends on age etc...
Red, is your keyboard missing an "S"? Or are you trying to affect a funky accent?
I bought him an art set at Hobby Lobby--pencils, colored pencils, pastels, etc., and then I'm throwing in a ream of plain paper, too.
hello back to find more words
hello back to find more words
Hi, peri!
Hi, Peri!
very cool Jellen, it' fun isn't it? I think I went a little overboard this year.
Peri!
Question about di7...does it build off the di4 before it?
I had more fun picking that out than shopping for my own nephews.
dont have it myelf Jellen.
yes, kind of
it does in letters, but doesn't in meaning
Thanks, Ata. I'll work on it some more...
Got it!
yay!
Hi folks! Just on for a few. Rundown evening status: over-hypd boy in bed, husband's migraine may be lifting slightly, new cargo trike here and AWESOME.
Hi, MG
Hi! How's stuff?
cellent MG
Hi Monkey!
Hiya, Monkey. Yeah! New transportation! P.S. Got your payment via PayPal. Thanks muchly!
I woke up unusually early today...watched Indiana Jones instead of being productive...
Yeah 1/2 done and it isn't even dark. A new threshold for me.
Go jm!
This trike is better than I could have dreamed. My father sent me the 350 Euros... teh day I agreed to buy it someone put one up on the same classifieds site, identical trike, 1100 Euros-- and they got it. MAN did I luck out!
Jellen, how are you? How is Time doing?
Nothing wrong with a dose of Harrison Ford,Jellen. Yummy at any time of the day.
Glad you got that Judi, was about to e-mail you. Thank you SO much! We will try it and the one you so gracyiously ioncluded tomorrow if Danny doesn;t have holdoiver migraine. The beer arrived today and really cheered him up.
I am fine and Tim is fine. We're planning a trip to Las Vegas in a little over a week.
That is awesome, Monkey! Makes up for the crummy day you had earlier this week (that reduced you to smoking medicinal mother nature).
Good going, Jellen! I got up unusually early too-- but because Walter did. Sigh.
You received it already? OMG! That was incredibly fast!
Well, ahem, errr, hardly need an excuse, once the little one's well asleep... cough, ahem. But yes, and the week has sucked too because not having the bakfiets turns a 20 minute ride into a half hour fast walk followed by a long bus ride, so I am SOOOOO happy to have the new one!
Itw as, wasn't it?
Yes! I'm shocked but pleased you got it so quickly. I figured being the holiday season it would take longer than 6-10 days. Well, thank goodness for small miracles and competent postal employees. No trouble with customs, I trust?
None whatsoever. Not ven a sticker on it, and no unexpected import duties either (they LOVE pulling that one).
I'm impressed - I sent a parcel over to best friend in the US a few days ago, and customs ripped the parcel to shreds, opened the cards, opened the CHRISTMAS PUDDING for goodness sake!
Oh MAN! Yeah, they proctice random attacks on that one.
Very cool. My anti-slosh packaging paid off. :-)) Isn't the box a riot?
oh, look. a nice small grid for the weekend
the very dangerous christmas pudding!
Over half way and really need to stop; we must make a dent in the chaos that is our jewelry work space...Have Christmas presents to make!
what a *darling*, jes
It's HYSTERICAL! Especially that long and bizzarre piecemeal letter about apologies for tissue damage, that ends in the middle...
I'm behind, Ata. I thought you were still in the US!
do you make jewelry, Jellen?
Hi, jes!
unfortunately no *sigh*!
Yes, peri. Tim and I make mostly earrings and some necklaces.
Jeesh, Ata. Some bomb-sniffing dog must have "hit" on the pudding and wanted a taste. Which do you use in the pudding? Semtex or C4?
do you have any pictures, Jellen
the grid, or the put, ata?
how's the morning treating you all?
I took a wire wrapping class and made a cool bracelet---not sure I can replicate it, though.
lol I'm have to ask Tesco's! I have a feeling it was because of the problems in India, it got to customs on the same day that Indian airports were put on high alert
LOL. I know, Monkey. I think the brewers had had too many tastings when they designed that box.
the pup!
where did you take the class, Jellen, sounds interesting
No pictures yet. I'll try to get some posted on Flicker soon.
ok
I'm going to go on about the trike a bit again now.
yeah, he is. i was really not happy with the woman for wanting him put away
grrrrrr yes. not surprised
I took the class at a bead store in Springfield, where Tim's oncologist is. It was actually a one-on-one session.
Happy trails, Monkey! Enjoy!
Bye, MG!
See, the one that died, it was so far gone that for the last several weeks the pedal assembly rocked back and forth an dthe front end bounced up and down. It was shockingly heavy and aleways felt like I was cycling through deep sand, and it pulled hard to the right.
Hubby's beckoning. We're going out to slay a Christmas tree this afternoon. It's sunny out, but bloody cold. So, I'm off to bundle up. BBL, kids.
happy that i managed to convince her to let me rehome him (and ecstatic that my friend knew someone so fast!) but dreading the expected next few critters she brings in... 'cuz this isnt the first time the woman has pulled moves like this.
The NEW one is a brand from Denmark renowned for its durability and easy steering. It weighs 35 kilos and feels like riding a regular bike. It is solid aluminum, and reeks quality. And they sold it for 1/3 what a second hand one is worth, and drove an hour to bring it to me! Of ocurse I gave themn a very nice wine.
Hi all! I may bury meself in the grid for a bit...
have fun, judi
Hi PAv!
Bye, Judi!
And hi, PAV!
hullo, pav
Bye Judi! Thanks again!
***POOOOF****
you'd hope people would learn, wouldn't you?
sounds great MG
yup. sadly, my hopes get d4'd a lot
Oh, and my OTHER news: I weighed myself this morning, and it gradually dawned on me that my weight loss crossed the 25 pound mark!
I'm 1/3 of the way there!
congrats, mg!
Congrats, good for you, Monkey
congrats Monkey!
Sigh, jes. So few people take pets as the lifetime commitment they should be...
good news all around MG
Thanks! It's been a long road... but I feel better about it all now.
Congrats, MG!
indeed. it's a very frustrating thing though, and i'm faced with it regularly
Yes, maybe things are looking up! Just need to get that degree and see if the orthopedist is right about my back starting to improve in the next couple of months... then things may at last actually achieve stabilioty. Except for Danny's migraine this is a good day indeed!
my back took forever to completely heal but each week was better
What was wrong with yours? Glad it's better now!
herniated disk the worlds most painful thing I ever had including giving birth to a 12 pound baby
OUCH! I have two "slight" herniated discs and my baby only weighed 5 pounds.
I am going to try to roast up a turkey breast. Any advice? I have never done anything like that before.
slower is better, red
My back got steadily worse for 5 months, but I realized (also today actually) that it has not gotten worse in the past week, so maybe it's turning around.
Wrap it in bacon for self-basting. The fattier the better.
It helps to brine it. Then cover the breast with a foil tent until almost done then remove the tent to brown
like for 3 hours at 300? or ?
Stab it all over and shove garlic cloves in the slits, too.
It took me quite a while to figure out it was my back.
and if you have time, look up Alton Brown's turkey recipe. he brines it first, so it won't work for you this time if you're cooking it right now, but if this is for tomorrow...
I have garlic and sage...
Oh dear. For me, I just put soap in the dishwasher and couldn't stand up again.
but keep in mind I pretty much will eat anything period.
Oh Monkey how awful.
I totally recommend Alton Brown's recipe except he eschews dressing.
garlic and sage sounds good
I'm used to it now-- that was at the end of July. Hurts like hell though.
yeah; but so do i, jmc ;)
garlic makes most anything better :)
I LOVE Garlic
Well, I have no dreing. dressing. typing i so bad.
MG that is terrible. I asked my doc what happened and he said "u probably leaned over to pick up your shoes" I was drepressed by that thought for a week
Yes. In fact if you eat more than 8 large clioves a day you are extremely unlikely ever to be bitten by a tick-- discovery made by the Swiss forestry service tires of paying for leave for Lyme disease.
Now I religiously bend at the knees.
but really, red, my primary way of cooking lately is to ask bruce to make me something ;)
red you don't have any bread like product in your house?
Guess we're aging, eh? I'll eb 40 next month. Having a four year old makes it kind of hard to watch my back movement though...
23 left, bbs
Bye Peri!
I have potatos.
Since my son is 23 it is not such a problem but I am 56
Bye peri, and I must go, too. Happy Babbling to All!
No, I don't think potatoes would work for stuffing
Bye Jellen!
bye peri, jellen
well, bruce can come here, we are warm and very sunny. LOL jmc!
bye peri jellen
I'm ok without stuffing.
Guess you don't have to pick him up to look out the window a lot...
i will not tell him, because he might, and then i'll be stuck cookng for myself again.
sometimes he helps pick me up from the sofa! [giggle]
OK, well, I have a nice golden retriever who has removed ALL hair from his tail in trade?
he has to stay with me though because he stops eating at other homes...
i have 3 dogs already, red! i don't need a 4th, and unless the dog is a great cook, i think i'd be losing that trade.
so is there any help on sn clues I have only found the obvious one and I have been monkeying them for some time
Yeulu i not a good cook. But he is a great walker. and hair puller...
jmc, I only have the easy 4 letter one.
Don't feel bad. My Great Dane can't cook either.
Teulu that is... not Yeulu...Poor thing.
[sigh]
Oh, sn? Yes, hang on.
sn + wr+++ of Khan
heh. sorry, red. think i'm stickng with my own for now.
Plural it. Remove plural and add a vowel for another, and plural THAT.
sn + m*** (arithmetic)
Ahhhh Can not trade my dog for anything...
But I do like him a lot.
Waiting for Tim to finish playing WoW...not facing the mess alone...
I wouldn't give up Saskia, even though she's autistic...
okay, away we go to town. have fun all.
Bye Jes!
Bye jes, and bye for real, all!
Yahoo! (not the web page) I can finally move on from there TYVM MG and jellen
No problem!
Hey, jmc, how long did it take with your back before you felt it was really getting better?
I got three cortisone shots which made it bearable then physical therapy and being careful. It took, I hate to tell you, a year before I could say it was REALLY better. But only weeks before I could see the direction it was headed.
Its been two years and I am only occasionally reminded by it that I need to take care of my back. I still do the therapy exercises twice a week and make sure I bend at the knees. That hackneyed advice is true.
Hi MG...I have had issues with my back for 20 years. 5/6 visits to a good chiropractor gets it back to normal if it really goes back. I now benefit from monthly maintenance trips to chiro. You learn to live with it - and what movements to avoid - like raking leaves!
Hmmm. OK. Well, as I said, mine has seemingly stabilized this week, after five months of etting worse. My orthopedist doen;t feel I'm a good cantidate for the shots, and i have already had all the ohysical therapy my insurabce will pay for, with no result, and seven acupuncture treatments (which, quite to my surprise, having had good resultes befoire, made it worse). OK. I did 2 1/2 years of severe RSI a while back, and 2 years with the smashed up knee, and 1 year with the smashed up foot... I can hold ouyt with this one. Thanks for the info.
Thanks, Lynxxx. In January my insurance resets, and a chiro is top of my list to try. I already know how to be careful of the knee and teh foot and the right arm, so adding a back should be do-able once I get through this acute phase.
ac 6/24 please first one?
The idea is to get the inflammation down enough that the disk can heal. The physical therapy didn't help instantly but it did allow me to get to a place where I could protect myself--then I had to start exercises to protect the knees I kept bending!
ac & newspapaers/television are forms of m****
TY Lynnx.
hello everybody
hello evrybody
ty
I have applied with my insurance for a "movement advice" program, so we'll see how that goes. Meanwhile untiol today I thought th einflammation must be down this week (this is a bad day for that) . Some kick-ass anti-inflammatories from the doctor didn't help. I'm sure it's just a matter of a little more time, especially now that the hellish grinding machine I havbe been forcing to Walter;'s school and all over has been replaced with this dream-to-ride miracle that arrived today. Thanks for the tips.

Bye kje
Scrabbler ... you are too modest.
LOLOL - here is another winner from the online dating pool...
in answer to what are you passionate about...
I'm passionate about having a lovely woman who cares about her husband,who knows whats good and bad and ready to take responsibility of her family too like her husband,there when i want her,ready to go down for whatever,loving and charming,loyal,intelligent,respect her husband i mean submissive to her husband
ughers
LOL
sounds delish!! LOL
"what"......!!!!
I know!!! seriously, mo!!! kinda funny and scary as hell at the same time
At least he is being honest.
you can say that again!!!LOL!!!
He should say: only passive, submissive women need reply.
Hi, jumping in here
Hi phandmd
or only mental cases need reply!! LOL
he wants a "slave"....
hi phand
I am not defending this guy cuz I don't know him and I don't know what he means,
sounds like he wants an actively submissive woman to apply
hi phand
whew!! wondered, for a minute, what I was walking into here kj!
however, do any of you who work submitt to your bosses?
I am the boss :-P
hi flosey
hi lindi
well, do you have underlings that submit to you then?
back to - hopefully, finish up last 27
Hi, flosey!
I never submitted to my bosses .... noooo way!!!
We have an animal farm kind of office. We are all equal but I am more equal than they are.
2 left!
hi Jellen
really? you just did whatever you wanted?
go jellen!
go jellen go
and they didn't fire you?
48 to go, going to pick away at it a little more! nick's awake and playing beside me, daniel's still being grumpy bear in bed
It is actually a very hard thing to do--to fire someone
feather ... hope daniel is not your hubby!!!!
I have trouble submitted to bosses I don't respect---that's why I'm not working now:-)
lol, nope, hubby's gone today for nat'l guard. should be home soon.
nick's 16 months, daniel's 4
JMC, my point exactly. You are the boss you are in charge. you consider your employees that is great. It makes you a good person to work for.
but you are still in charge and what you say must go.
*submitting, that is
only kidding feather.
Hello new entrants
Firing someone didn't use to be a difficult thing to do. But in this day and age of political correctness no one can do/say anything without getting sued.
It's a bunch of BS
well.....hubby can often be a grumpy bear! not far off the mark mo, lol
88 to go and I see nothing, so it is time to open the list
hi Scrabbs
LOL!!!
Go flosey go!!
what's that have to do with kje's personal ad guy phan? just curious if you're heading somewhere....
Even without being sued, it is not that easy. You have to tell someone that they have completely failed.
Having said that I will admit I have fired a number of people over the years including once my best friend
well, if they have, they should be let go.
Feather, I consider myself a submissive wife, but that doesn't make me a door mate and I was just pointing out that people don't really understand that word.
feather - have you ever seen the bow and arrow in NY? I am starting to doubt its existence
scrabs, how much can a kid truly gain in a growth spurt? i swear daniel's shot up a couple of inches in the past month
ahh, ok phan, gotcha.
go daniel go : )
My brother once grew an inch in one night.
it's a figment of the devs' imaginations
2 inches is a lot, but possible
back to word finding
Fireworks!!!
it's funny, because a couple of weeks ago, i knew he was going through one, he was suddenly starving all the time!
yay jellen!
especially with enough sleep and good nutrition
WTG jellen WOOHOO
phan - that is very different than answering the question, "what are you most passionate about" as this guy did... and starting out a relationship demanding submissiveness is not only a sign of a loser, it is a sign of an abuser... seen it too much in my profession
Yahoo, Jellen!!
woot, Jellen!
well, i'd say def. an inch. haven't officially measured. just going by the pants, which i'm suddenly not needing to roll!
Oh, KJE, I agree. I wasn't trying to defend the guy at all. He probably is a loser, I don't know
What site was that on, kje?
yeah jellen
gotta go for a bit. see ya!
bye feather, take care
And what a strange answer to a question about passion...
bye feather
Later, feather!
weed - i tried to start a game, but it is weird now
byee feather .... see you soon.
i'll check before i get up kje
it won't let me restart the same board layout, and now we have 8 letters instead of 7
i deleted the game
so, if you want to play, will play real scrabble, but not this altered one
mind if i try to start one?
have at it
brb
it did the same thing to me. i deleted. will try again later, and see if it works.
OK - later... tell daniel i said to stop growing or i'll take his flashlight away
gonna take a break bbl
52 left to find later.
lol! later.
Bye, phandmd

I have always loved eating baked goods, since I was very young.
I love baking but no one loves my baking
Bake Flosey Bake (since she is finished!)
Me too, Scrabbler!
lol scrabbs, me too
When I prepare to bake I typically eat so much dough/batter that my final serving count is much lower than predicted.
Well, I am about to try my turkey breast. It is a huge hunk of meat.
enjoy, red.
did you brine it?
Ooh, how did you prepare it?
I did not brine it. I sort of coated it in butter, shoved butter under the skin with some garlic and rubbed it with sage.
Smells good.
sounds yummy
44 to go--BBL
Red - slide some rosemary sprigs under the skin too...
Alas I have none and its pretty well done, I am resting it now...
Sounds good, red!
I learned a long time ago to use mayonaise instead of butter on the outside. It browns slower and the meat is juicier
Enjoy your turkey, red. Have a good nap afterwards!
Yes, I am watching A Christmas Carol...trying to get into the CHristmas Spirit.
found it, thanks, only 10 words to go now

is di7 a compound word?
oops, sorry, momentarily stood on soap box, down again now
no harp
have no clue di7 can't even find a definition but have gotten it from clues
To be honest Chrissie that is why I'm looking forward to the toy service. We buy toys for children from families who don't usually get lmuch at Christmas. I bought most of ELC today :-) I think the Shannon Matthews case really brought it home to me this week
Chrissie, while I am content to drink there is some to be said about not getting sloshed around your kids--at least until they are old enough to get sloshed with you. Mine is 23.
sometimes you forget how lucky you are or were growing up. I bought stuff that didn't need batteries or made too much noise, hoping they will last the children some time
could someone clue di7?
Lol JMC, I am 40 & regularly enjoy a drink with my Mum & Dad, just so long as they are not in Cuba!
lol, so true jmc. Mine are 26 and 28 and could drink me under the table (I've always been a cheap date)

I woke up with a really bad red patch in my eye a couple of days ago (which is now getting better) but the eye is still sore and twitches sometimes, should I get it seen to by a doctor? I have eye drops from the pharmacist for allergies
anthesia alwasy gets to me
so now ???? has ten words
Well, ho is your vision?
Is your eye itchy and do you get a crust on it in the am??
how.
oh NO katie... i JUST went through that a couple of months ago!!!!
that's fine, and it is more an irritation than pain, so wasn't worried. Eye is itchy but no crust
going back to gag......work....
Katie, as long as it continues to improve it should be alright, sounds like you brke a bunch of small vessels in the eye...
and you see ell?
bye maynard g krebs . . .I mean renfleid
well.
ugh! NO REN
did it sort itself out B&A. more worried about wearing contacts to snorkle in two weeks time!!!!
my eye dr. said that because your eyes don't produce as many tears at night and tend to dry out when your eyes are closed, if there's a tiny scratch or abrasion on the surface and it tries to heal, when you reopen your eye in the morning the delicate healing tissue sticks to your eyelid and comes off
clues for last he word?
he gave me an anti-inflammitory & anti-biotic lubricant, but I had to take out my contacts for about 2 months because it kept getting worse
not his...?
and i ended up needing an eyedrop with a litle steriod in it and it made my tongue feel funny hahahaha
hmmmmm not good. I might go to the doctors just in case! I really need to wear my contacts in the maldives
ty mamab [blush]
Oh you need to be able to snorkle properly. I have been thinking of going to the Keys myself...
I;d go to the docs.
no problem :)
and DON'T rub it!!!! i did and i think that's why mine got worse
I can't tell you how excited I am about the holiday, warm sea, great fish, no Christmas at home :-) Will go to the doc next week. thank you for the advice B&A and Red
ok the dog is requiring an ambulation. I shall return...12 left still I am not getting them even wwith list!!!!
Hi, again. Katie - give those contacts a good enzyme cleansing too before you put them back in. There's probably some cooties still living on them.
and make sure you put in lubricating drops or gel at night so it can heal :-) you're welcome!
Judi is right, I love the clear Care system...
I use daily disposables Judi, I never trust myself to clean the other ones properly
(Considering I spent the day at the eye doctor trying desperately to get my eyes to undialate, they are finally good.
hmmmm yeah not cleaning mine might have led to the original problem for me.... hahaha....
Ok bed calls I have to be in Church in 9.5 hours. Hugs all round *real poof*
Hmm. Contacts probably not the problem then. Although, you may have a sensativity to the saline solution you are using.
I've worn contacts for about 25 years, so I know a thing or two. Certainly not trying to trump Dr. Red.
night katie
And NEVER sleep with your contacts in. Bad for the eyes.
got 17 word on puzzle stuck any ideas?
try plurals for all the words you have even if they aren't nouns in your mind
i did got 7 off that

hi stid, it's pretty fast except for a few odd ones

hi harp... i'll use jmc's awesome clue: frog platform + former head of iran
hi stid :-)
oh spritely! I survived the quarter!!! ((((hugs))))
well HARPJANE does not have the pa7 yet, care to share?
wooooooot stid! Good news :D
ok what it does is give you the first two letters of all of the words in the grid and the number of letters in each word. So the first clue is ac 4,6 which means there is a four letter word starting with ac which will net you 6 points
pa* (like the bottom of a dog's foot), + title of former ruler of iran who was deposed in the 70s
hi and bye all, must really go to bed, it is 1.30 am here.

My choir entered a National competition with the BBC earlier on in the year, I was able to sing in the audition tape, but then I went to Australia for six weeks, and missed the actual broadcasts. The choir reached the last 25 out of thousands, so we weren't disgraced!
so do it!
I can sing tenor (high tenor) to soprano, but the vocal quality is best in the soprano range
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

Ty for te6 and 7!
Documents of the Case by Sayer I am re reading her this winter
fireworks!!!
yeah mixi6 [poof]
I have no recent news on Ben. Mary's kids are great. I spent Tuesday and wednesday afternoons with them. They spent Thanksgiving week in Orlando/DisneyWorld.
u**s ??
Yahoo Mixi
yay, mix!
Suzanne--teats/nipples = u****s
there are no words starting with u.
Oh, I am glad for them, Scrabs. I hope no news is good news for Ben
Scrabs, glad you are here. My daughter was here today with her daughter [my g'daughter of course] and she said her pediatrician told her not to feed the baby [13 mo.] whole wheat bread until 18 mons. Have you ever heard of this?
thanks scrabbler
hi, scrabbs
kittens are overrated
Bichon, IF a person has gluten senstivity (celiac disease/gluten enteropathy) then wheat/gluten will cause problems, but DELAYING exposure to wheat won't prevent it. If you have the genetic predisposition THEN you will have trouble regardless of the age.
i swear, i want a cat next time
sill soft-hearted me
No, no,no, Seain. You will someday miss having a kitten.
No, none of that applies here. Stumped me.
mayhap, scrabbs, but that's not happened to me the last 2 times
This is specifically whole wheat bread, not white
I do not understand the reasoning, bichon.
Okay, maybe it was something that got lost in translation. That happens with my daughter. She has auditory memory problems
Or the doc really advised that.
here where i grew up, we avoid peanuts and honey for 2 years with youngins.
that makes sense DC
Anyone have the second sh 5/14 the one after the out building
Honey is OK after age 12 mo, and most allergists advise delaying peanut exposure til age 2-3 yrs.
insert a cons in the sh4
She sh*** away from peanuts due to her allergy.
all the people and kids i know with peanut issues are from the North.
or the West
Cute Scrabs.. But no, the one before that one
insert a cons in the sh4 structure, bichon
That was one of my calls today--a 14 mo old with hives just after her first exposure to peanut butter.
a 'sh5' of pottery
My CA g'daughter just had a bad peanut reaction. She has an epi pen with her at all times now [except when her parents forget :-((((!
Ty DC
Yep, I called in a Rx for EpiPen.
I just don't understand why/how the seeming increase in peanut allergies......
Gracias dcseain
de nada, como siempre, itsonme
does it correlate to all the new vaccines/boosters kids get? Does it correlate to nothing? Does it correlate to something in the water/air/formula? OK, maybe I am exhausted, LOL
around here, it correlates to parents from the North or West
One idea, supported by some studies, is cross-reactivity with soy protein. Soy products are commonly ingested now and the protein is similar to peanuts. And if pregnant women cnsume soy then the fetus/kid is sensitized.
haha, Pam
oh, interesting, scrabbler
wait, really scrb? soy while pregnant can lead to that?
but one would expect higher rates of peanut allergies among asians then. or mayhap the metabolize soy differntly from euro-afro-amerinds
does sensitized mean grows inured to or does it mean made more sensitive to?
Whatever a pregnant/breast feeding woman consumes can mean that the fetus is also exposed.
I haven't heard that before Scrabbler, interesting indeed.
Interesting Scrab. i'll have to convey that idea to my daughter-in-law
Sensitized means that the immune system forms antibodies.
scrabbs, might there be a handy link to the study, or a decent summation of such?
I have seen breast feeding babies develop hives after their mother has eaten peanut butter andanother kid--the mom ate clams.
Hmm, Seain--let me look.
a
evening, crpw
http://www.peanutallergy.com/
hi dc, how are you
Yes, Scrabs, that would be interesting to forward on. My daughter has her doctorate in medical informatics and I'm sure she'd be interested
http://foodallergy.org/
well, ty crpw
and ty, scrabbler :)
hi to everyone else
((((scrabbler)))) hi there! I am getting better...
Did you see your doc on Monday?
Hi crpw
stid!!! hello :)
thanks, scrabs!
I'm having trouble with the sn? have the first one.
yes, well the ortho PA, the doc is in Tacoma, and that was too far to ride
hi scrabbler
the MRI showed NOTHING.
hi all
scrabs....can I bother u for some advice?
evening, carlee
hi carleekat
hi crp, dc
hm. any hopes for an other type of scan, stid?
what is wrong stid?
No bother, Carlee. I am the Babble Medical Advisor, helping all navigate the medical quagmire.
he said it looked like the iliotibial band is inflamed... but that doesn't adequately explain the totality of symptoms. So I will need to talk to the doc again and ask for clarification.
Stid, so you have no anatomical problem--more functional, inflammatory?
but no more injections and such.
not so much medical....well...i don't know..how does one best deal with an alcoholic who is drunk..who is screaming at u?
hey carlee (((hugs)))
I've had almost NO experience in life with alcoholics....especially drunk ones
yes, apparently something inflammatory
hi stiddy {{gentle hugs}}
fireworks here
hi carlee, and stid
Leave--they are drunk so there is no point in lsitening to the lying, the emotionaltirades.
carlee, angry screaming?
woot for wv
congrats, wvteach!
hi its
congrats wvteach!
i'm with scrabbs on that advice, with the kids, too.
Drunks, as with other addicts, lie, manipulate, deny, accuse, get angry...
hope it is not someone you have to deal with on a daily basis carlee
hurt screaming...my son's best friend ( who is 18) is staying here with us again..and she hurt/ upset son left...
is blaming me..cus i givehim a safe haven to run to when it gets too m uch..he loves his famiy..wants to be there..but she makes it impossible
Congrats wvteach
carlee -- call the police.
and he is THE BEST kid....i lovehim to bits
He needs to go to Ala-Teen for support and advice,to learn that he cannot change her.
in the united states (I know you're in Canada) verbal abuse is abuse. And you deserve to be safe
our community too small
and/or seek a restraining order, even if a temp one.
oh, yay wv!
no ala-teen
Is he still in high school? He is not a minor at 18.
or the child needs to be safe
he went back for extra credits....wants to be a police officer..is in army reserves
Get some info for him, to learn about how alcoholics think and behave.
se5 after the religious se4?
how noble of him, carlee.
my mom was an alcoholic, it's no fun
sounds like a fine young man, carlee
he's a great kid
Auto style
she finally stopped getting drunk when i was 17
ok..dc....i need help
happily, the grandkids do no have to deal with it.
my father is kind of crazy and he just gets off sometimes and yells at my mom all night waking her up, and she called the police one time and they told her if she calls them again for the same reason she would go to jail
we were lucky, she is a happy drunk.
i've just unplugged land line so won't callhere again and wake me tonight
it is very important that he understand this is NOT his doing, and he deserves to be safe
thats a shame, he probably feels trapped, wants to help her , thats what most kind souls do
this one a poor pity me drunk...
ok..so... I am doing RIGHT thing by not forcing him to go home...( I know that SHOULD seem like a DUH thing...but....)
yes, but they cannot be helped until they want to help themselves, as we saw growing up.
YES carlee, you are.
Many addicts manipulate by becoming victims
okies...thanks all...
that what she doing
You must keep him safe. You are doing the right thing.
ok...I'll look into all anon..etc..for teens..etc...
my mother's mother's father was a drunkard, and the WCTU helped great-grandma divorce. Great-grandpa got his act together, had a 2nd family, and added grandma back to the will.
a pox on her carlee
well..its not like she can send police..he's 18
mom's dad quit drinking so he could get mom's mom to marry him. oh, his drinkin stories from his Navy days!
How old is she?
she is 48
the boy is 18
Drunks have tough layers of denial
*sending angry mama vibes to drunk mama*
You are doing the right thing, as all have said, carlee....
well, I need to get going on this grid, methinks.
it's wonderful that you can provide a safe harbour for him, it really helps a lot.
and yes, many layers of denial usually.
Download Alanon stuff for her son. Let him know you will always provide safe haven.
sounds like the young man has a solid head on his shoulders, and is on a good path. Providing him safe haven, and him trying to move on with minimal envolvement weth her are probably for the best for now.
yeap...she does...as she was slurring I am not drunk..i have NOT been drinking....
Is there a family services in your city/town? To whom are problems referred when kids are in danger? Perhaps they have a program for her?
i have friend with a mother who drinks. he finally cut off all money to her, including for her mortgage, after 12 years of paying for stuff for her.
Are there other siblings?
If her son is afraid of her, that is all that matters.
not afraid
ok guys..gotta run..thanks a bunch
(((carlee))) be well.
bye carlee, hang in there
g'night carlee, best w/it, and feel free to email
se5 after the religious se4, pls?
Keep up the great work, Carlee. You are a loving, caring person!
typeof auto, Seain

TY, Jac
Oh, dcs. are you ok with this? Who will be your employer?
Why is BJ leaving?
Hi, Jac!!!!
oy, ty jac :)
well at least your being kept on dc, that's a good thing.
Scrabbs - life is happening to BJ at present, like it does at times to us all.
i'm not thrilled, but it's a much better benes, fewer hours and a more regular schedule
may he fare well with it. life can be very difficult
*sneaks up behind nut and pours perfume on her*
Who will your employer be, dcs?
OK,I just cannot imagine leaving here.
ack! ew! patooie! i hate floral scents!
Glad that there is an up side....
the gs-14 who used to be my manager saw to it that i was ket on. :D Anna rocks!
my employer will be Centech Group
Wow, bj is a real elder... hope all is well....

i want to be a gs-14, or any double digits for that matter
but glad you are going to stay employed seain!

That is great, dcs--that someone ensured your continued employment there
Maybe he'll come back to us at times, Stid.
5 of the gov't peeps offer me references, too :)
Yippee, our Buffalo Sabresjust won the hockey game!
that is great, dcs.
good for buffalo!
Stid - I was thinking of your earlier, much earlier, i.e UK morning, when we all put the ugly wallpapers into the blog. Surely, as a migrainee (is there such a word?), it must have affected you?
glad to hear it, scrabs 8-) who'd they beat?
CU 5/18 please? I can't seem to make it work
They beat Tampa Bay, 4-3. We have been in a slump.
Eurgh, US sports, might be time for me to leave.
LOL I think I missed it jac... when was this?
migraineur, jac
jac, i don't think the chog will go over to US hockey, so don't worry 8-)
canadian originally jac
I didn't cite you , Stid, just wondered about migraine sufferers about 10.30am (ish)
but isn't that a masculine form? *thinking I should wear pink more often* wouldn't migrainette be better?
oh, jac, my kitten likes Strongbow. wonder if he'll like the scrumpy, too
cu 5/18 - one who is amusing - or what you have to do to papr to make paper dolls
ah, okay then! :-D I have been in too much pain from the hip to worry about migraines the last couple weeks
dcs - your kitten likes been shot by arrows when he's just trying to have a quiet drink in the pub?

Thanks much Jellen
Oooh, I ate too many Cheetos!
hey, peeps
oh, my, jellen! I'd say you're definitely a top contender for ugliest wallpaper :) how long did it take you to find that??
Thanks, tyger...it didn't take long...I googled orange and wallpaper...
LOL that was inspired thinking!
another load of laundry done! :-D
*blush*
that's practically blinding!
Woohoo Nef!
back to (hopefully finish the last 58
hey, nef. I got your email. I didn't have time to answer it yet
go, nef :)
been a busy day
You can do it Nef!
I'm here to help clue, as well as chat, if needed
that's ookay, tyger. I just thought I wanted to help a bit; hope that info helps a bit
you're finished, jellen?
well, not really, but I truly appreciate the thought
So am I, tyger. Just watched the Missouri-Oklahoma football game...
I'll explain when I respond
Yes, I finished this afternoon!
I figured you were finished. I came in just as you were giving a clue :)
I finished just before I came in. I've been mostly out from about 5:00 on. son took me to dinner; it was great, and then with him to pick up some stuff he'd bought earlier
Well, I'm glad that you guys finished! I've had too put in several hours of work and then went out to supper with off-springs and nw laundry and dealing with DH's ingrwn tenail
I'm not going to finish at this rate. :(
I usually try to get about half the words - or at least a hundred, on big grids - after the new grid goes up, but then I hardly ever get back to the grid until 4pm at earliest, often later
ingrown toenail? aw, my sympathies to him (and to you dealing with it)
he has MS and basically no feeling frm his waist down; so *I* do it so he wn't hurt himself!
I had that a couple of times when I was younger, but not in many years, thank goodness
oh, my. ((((nef & hubby))))
ingrown toenails take a lot of careful effort
but I'm keeping you from the grid :( sorry
thanks. We do kay, each watching out for the other! :)
it's always that way in the best marriages
Any help with the ca 5/14s, please? I can't seem to monkey either ne
(and my vowels keep skipping) :-(
ca5/14: ca* is a not-nice guy + **do (from everybody's least favorite class of words in grids)
ca5/14: plural of arrived (weird as it seems)
2nd again: ca + not you but ** + plural
1st again: ca + artists **aw + vowel
ca5= rhymes with pa5/14 (Spanish father)
I got the 1st one, it's your first clue I didn't get
1st again: ca + artists **aw pictures + vowel
oh, jellen's is better :)
here I am again, with 53 to go :(
How was supper, jilli?
Thank you!
I still think my wallpaper is the ugliest, but jellen's is the blindiest :)
Got them both, Nef?
hey, jilli
I agree, jilli!
yes, thanks!
sorry, jilli, but my vote is with jellen's - need sunglasses for it
yours isn't that bad, in teeny doses, so long as one only has to see it once in a lifetime :D
It was ok, thanks, jellen -- Lean Cuisine chili and salad with Ranch, and a King apple given to me by flosey's hubby, from a tree 150 years old
I gather it was intended for a "country kitchen" :P
King apple? don't think I've ever heard of that variety
May I please have a clue for ca6-27? Thanks
gawd only knows, tyger -- I stole it from a facebook site -- a grandmother's house with a few other horrors.
I need most of the H's in the second column (I did get the bttm rw H)
jilli, this was one evening when I had the better of the two of us on dinners. David took me to Ruby Tuesday. I had fried shrimp on top of alfredo pasta
ca6/27: someone who carries golf clubs
dear your-David, tyger!
oh, the poor grandkids!
Thank you tyger.
let me try again: it's the HE words that I need help with. Please
hi4-5: conceal one's self or something
he4/5 - the start of the elf who wanted to be a dentist... then plural
he4: an image of Mercury (often just a phallus)
he4/6 actually, not he4/5
and then plural of the Mercury/He**es
I have all but one he words, nef -- what do you need?
he 4/5 is not his
he4/5 - he + nurse... then plural
he4: the bottom of skirts
he4/6 - bottom os the skirt
snap tyger
GMTA, kje :)
well, not really snap... cuz mine is full of typos
he7 -- like a shepherd
LOL
oh crap... sn4 i meant...
oh dear -- half a PB for me
oh, well, kje. I think the PB is stocked. I've still got apple pie for it
Oooh, pb for kje!
Mmmm....apple pie!
you noticed how careful I was about Mercury/He**es? ;)
I'm craving s'mores... think there are s'more in there?
and jilli is usually very good about putting some nice wine in there
I also have some Lindor truffles, if you like
mais oui :)
I dunno, kje. I don't have any
and a fire... could really enjoy a fire about now
brought some in with me
Ymmmm....and here I am trying to lose a few pounds!
Please the ca5-16? Thanks
oh, I'd love a fireplace - complete with burning log - apple wood, maybe, or hickory?
along with bloater paste and melba toast, lol
ca5/16: Latin for head ca + place something
bloater paste????
wood burning is a pollutant
that has to be the most unappetizing name for something i have ever heard
ca + ***t-***t (miniature golf)
yummy brit stuff, kje
I know, jilil, but I hate gas logs
does not sound yummy
ca not dog + place
call it smoked herring pate, then, kje
Changed my icon for tomorrow...
oh, jilli, no thx. herring is entirely tooooo fishy for me
well, that certainly sounds better than bloater paste...
sorry clued that WRONG!!!!
Pâté, that is
ROFL oh, jellen!
what is the theme tomorrow jellen?
Americans are so wussy about fish
Flamingos
now there is a generalization for ya
jilli, my dad wasn't. he'd eat any fish. he bought canned herrings on occasion - and ate them all alone! :D
theme for Dec 7 is flamingoes OR being grateful (for the victory after Pearl Harbor)
he loved sardines, and all kinds of stinky things
mmm - love sardines
and I do mean ANY fish!
fresh white anchovies
eel
mackerel
try sprats -- tiny smoked fishies
he always had to have at least one smelt dinner in season. I remember my poor mother, cleaning all those little fish
Jellen could you reword the ca5-16 please? Thanks
clues, anybody? :)
have had sprats\
I've given up with 53 to go -- rather chat and bug youse guys
ca5/16: not a hat but a ca* + **ter confusion
ca + *** the lime in the coconut?
smelts were a big deal in baltimore... but you could buy them already cleaned
baseball ca* + b**ter (not oleo)
ditto about smelts in Montreal -- lovely
Doesn't mean anything like I thought it did!
around the Great Lakes, there's a smelt season. IIRC, it's late spring?
OMG, thanks, I finally got it.
told'ja it was Latin for head :)
yw, peach
I was thinking of ka***
I only had one year of HS Latin, but it has served me exceedingly well over the years
I figured that, jellen :D
OK, was going for the flip... but my second wind just blew out... so i will not make it
happy flip all... see you manana
had a busy day, kje?
sweet dreams, kje
there's a naught french joke about a ca5/16 noir
Bye, kje...sleep sweetly...
awww, kje!
jilli, is it used as I imagine?
je pense, oui, tyger
:D probably so, jilli. there aren't too many ways to use caput in a naughty joke that don't involve a he4 :D
kje -- just saw your icon -- can't imagine where that would be in my old home town! Not spanning the dirty yellow Whangpoo (huangpu) river, surely!
of the sort that Romans had on their doorposts
her profile says it hasn't been built yet, jilli. it's for some event in 2010, IIRC
I know, tyger, but can't imagine where it would be built.
I guess you'll either have to google it, or ask kje tomorrow
the joke wasn't about a head, exactly, but about a guy servicing a widow with extreme tact.
they may plan to demolish something historic that's occupying the site they want. they're doing a lot of that
LOL - my goodness, jilli. that DOES sound naughty
tyger, the only river in Shanghai is the dirty yellow Whangpoo (now known as the Huangpu)
Yep, tyger, hehe
:shrug: you know infinitely more about China than I, even though I've always been interested, and have read quite a bit
hesa
well, think I'm going away until after flip. I haven't had a chance to play sudoku today. there's a great (free) site that you can select your difficulty level, and play for as long as you wish BBL
sorry. I should try fr REAL words here, huh?
better get my next icon
that wasn't very grammatical, but BBL
I LOATHE sudoku!
Later, tyger...
hallo!
what time is the flip?
Hi, PAV
