night dart

1:40 am

yours is very attractive sprite

1:40 am

our gas manhole covers here are diamonds: http://tinyurl.com/6c4dpr

1:41 am

that one's an old one. the new ones say Washington Gas or Washington Gas Light on them.

1:41 am

g'night dart

1:42 am

cool seain! Funny, I have never given those things any attention. Good theme from wickdsmaht, I enjoyed learning about them and seeing beautiful ones!

1:42 am

sprite, not only is your manhole cover lovely, but the write-up is most interesting!

1:42 am

thanks flosey

1:42 am

thanks jilli! I wanted to share what I had found out.

1:42 am

and yes, your write-up is interesting, sprite

1:42 am

perhaps the circles in my wallpaper are really manhole covers in disguise

1:43 am

lol Ata, I bet. They could be anything.

1:43 am

oh please, do send me your addy again? It is such a mess in my room, I cannot find it atm.

1:43 am

ones like this surround the Capitol Reflecting Pool:

1:43 am

http://tinyurl.com/5scs86

1:44 am

I will

1:44 am

accorning to sprite's writeup, those dc gas "diamond" shapes, which are really square, could fall in

1:44 am

according

1:44 am

the wallpaper is so trippy it harbours blue elphants carrying champaigne glasses in their trunks

1:44 am

oh seain, those are beautiful

1:44 am

the gas ones only happen on sidewalks, and the covers are octogonal, you'll notice

1:45 am

lol seain, true. Ata won the prize for the trippiest.

1:45 am

herin and jac (?) too. they had the same

1:45 am

yes the reflecting pool ones are. but i went with the workaday utiltarian ones for my icon

1:46 am

tran t

1:46 am

I apologise for my random space :(

1:46 am

hmmm I should find a pic of the Portland ones, though. they are fab

1:46 am

would love to see them, Ata

1:47 am

i don't recall them. i'll have to notice next i'm there. maybe we can arrange to overlap there some time, ata.

1:47 am

ok just read all that sprite that is very informative...never knew that, ty for the info

1:47 am

yvw cjmomma, it was new to me too! Jilli got me going on discovering things I never knew with the icon themes. I am really enjoying it.

1:48 am

that is really great, I found alot of things when I started doing power point...the older I get the more I want to learn! :)

1:49 am

that is what is keeping us young, cjmomma :)

1:49 am

I agree

1:50 am

finally found ch7

1:50 am

there. they have those, and then some with knotwork on, but can't find a pic of those

1:50 am

I remember my grandfather, who started learning to work with a word processor when he was 80+, he was such a lovely man.

1:50 am

sprite -- I have another icon idea -- hydrants

1:51 am

beautiful rose, Ata

1:51 am

oh jilli, cool! Will add it right away.

1:51 am

1:53 am

*poof*

1:53 am

lol cjmomma, I know!

1:54 am

sprite, please change it -- April 23 is Shakespeare's bday (another idea?)

1:54 am

yes, there's a huge mural of them along the 400 block of Morrison St SW

1:54 am

lol ok jilli...

1:55 am

havn't learned all the lingo...when you all talk about being a fish...?

1:55 am

april 23th is st georges day!

1:55 am

a fish is a word that should've been obvious

1:55 am

meaning the word is not right?

1:55 am

like today's ch7

1:55 am

oh

1:56 am

k I have that all the time then !

1:56 am

it means a word that you should have seen, because it is very common... worthy of a fish slap :)

1:56 am

happens to me all the time

1:57 am

ok, jilli and Ata, done.

1:57 am

and fireworks at last

1:57 am

same thing, isn't it, ata?

1:57 am

yay

1:57 am

wtg hugs

1:57 am

1:57 am

Shakespeare and George don't mind sharing

1:57 am

YAY hugs!!!

1:57 am

wtg Hugs!

1:58 am

1:59 am

well, off I go... g'nite everyone

1:59 am

1:59 am

g'night hugs!

1:59 am

night hugs

1:59 am

sleep well, Hugs

2:01 am

forgot about the 2AM bump, i did

2:02 am

Oh I like them, seain

2:02 am

i thought they were rather nifty

2:02 am

that is because you haven't played at this time for so long, dear seain. Great to have you here today.

2:02 am

i currently own one pair, in gold and lapis, so a silver set would be nice

2:03 am

yes, i love being here at this hour

2:03 am

I do also but the lack of sleep isn't helping me get anything done! lol

2:04 am

it takes atlantic richfield company ,but not plural

2:04 am

poor cjmomma!

2:04 am

yes, lack of sleep muddles the mind, it does

2:04 am

and causes weight gain

2:05 am

it sure does

2:05 am

one is obviously enough!

2:05 am

that is does but I've been fortunate so far...crossing fingers not to jinx myself

2:05 am

lol

2:05 am

but one is the loneliest number that there ever was

2:06 am

awwwwww how sad.

2:06 am

well that's why atlantic richfield merged with BP!

2:07 am

LOL ata

2:07 am

lol!

2:07 am

it's weird going to BP and seeing both Amoco and Atalntic Richfield logos there

2:08 am

they kept Amoco Silver and Amoco Gold for mid-grade and premium brands

2:08 am

watching conan repeat; japan has developed large busted dancing robot for lonely guys, gone the days of the blow ups

2:08 am

yes, always a bit odd

2:08 am

lol nDan. How weird.

2:09 am

how japanese

2:09 am

hi sprite; still waiting for the pup?

2:09 am

pup? you're getting a puppy, sprite?

2:10 am

oh yes! Should be born in the early days of February. Let me find the link of the parents.

2:10 am

http://www.sweetdevotioncavalier.nl/pu ppies.htm

2:10 am

there's one gas station on US 1 in Woodbridge, VA that i've see go from Standard to American to Standard to Amoco to BP, yet it never changed company affiliation.

2:11 am

the lady dog should have been ready to mate 3 months ago and she decided to take her own sweet time :D Now the timing is better for us too.

2:12 am

it all ends up depending on what the local customers think of as the "standard / premium" brands. whatever that is, they keep that logo

2:12 am

hi all

2:12 am

usually

2:12 am

hi mamabook

2:12 am

pretty! and i've actually heard of kooh-i-noor.

2:12 am

adorable; do you get choice of boy/girl?

2:12 am

hi, mamabook

2:13 am

yes we do, nDan, but I don't care about the gender. I just want the sweetest and smartest dog in the litter :)

2:13 am

huh. i'll have to see if premium is stil Boron in Ohio at BP

2:13 am

you have, seain? Wow.

2:13 am

and you'll end up with the cutest whether it's sweet or smart or what :P

2:14 am

my aunt is a breeder who used to show - she breeds Welsh Springer spaniels, which is why i've heard of him

2:14 am

and it also depends whether a brand is particularly known for 1 thing - like Castrol was kept as a brand for all their lubricants

2:14 am

lol Ata, you think so? I think I am a sucker for smart. They are all going to be cute, no doubt.

2:15 am

the shop i go to recently changed from Castrol synthetic to Mobil1.

2:15 am

that is great, seain. He is a very gentle dog too, just like Dana. She wasn't ready for him the first day that they put them together, and he just licked her eyes and was so sweet.

2:15 am

really? wow. see, all brands come to an end :(

2:16 am

my friend ben's dog is smart outdoors, but not so much indoors.

2:16 am

not a bp shop, so you know

2:16 am

you are a phantom today, seain, lol

2:17 am

oh, so i be. fran is in there for real

2:17 am

god I miss Fran

2:18 am

i'm sure their offspring wil be as sweet as they are

2:18 am

and we all miss her, sprite :)

2:19 am

me too

2:19 am

offers (((hugs)))

2:20 am

group hug!

2:20 am

yay!

2:20 am

hugs are nice, cjmomma!

2:20 am

they always help me!

2:20 am

ok, dog pesting. bbl! I like this grid

2:20 am

me too, Ata. Enjoy doggy!

2:21 am

I've got to get to bed sometime.. so I will see you all soon! g'night :)

2:21 am

g'night, cjmom! rest wel

2:21 am

night cjmomma, sweet dreams to you

2:21 am

ty and enjoy the grid

2:22 am

how are the kids, sprite?

2:23 am

quite good, seain! Tim is enjoying his new school. His voice is 2 octaves lower now, most of the time, he is taller than I and trying to be more mature than Methusalem.

2:23 am

LOL fitting to his age :D

2:23 am

do they get their chocolate initials?

2:23 am

Caya is very cuddly, starting a growing spurt as well now. She has an inflamed eye atm, but the doc prescribed eyedrops and we trust it will be over soon.

2:24 am

sprite -- what happened about Caya's eyelid?

2:24 am

they have, on Sinterklaas eve, nDan

2:24 am

oh, you just answered :)

2:24 am

oh, so she's doing better, and continuing to heal! good news :D

2:24 am

Caya... that's a beautiful name

2:24 am

doc wanted to know if she had trouble seeing and if it was restricted to one eye. After that, she prescribed an eyedrop medicine. It seems to work already, jilli.

2:25 am

sprite, I just went to your breeder's website -- I see they do all the appropriate tests and the dogs look beautiful

2:25 am

oh, wunderbar about the meds

2:25 am

caya is a walking he5. Both kids are.

2:26 am

any idea what's in the meds, sprite?

2:26 am

poor dear has had a tough fall

2:27 am

oh yes jilli, that was one reason to pick this breeder. They are not in it for the money and they take the breed very seriously. They want to make sure only disease-free dogs are used for breeding, so the breed will become healthy again.

2:28 am

yes she has, nDan. That virus took out a big chunk of her and left her vulnerable to other viruses, I think. She loves to sit and cuddle with me a lot. But she is also enjoying her clubs and sports again, so I think she is on her way to getting better.

2:28 am

who are you talking about, nDan?

2:28 am

it is an antibioticum, jilli, that much I know

2:28 am

ndan was commenting on caya, jill

2:28 am

oh, I see -- I thought you meant someone has had a tumble, lol!

2:29 am

we are to use the eyedrops until the inflammation is gone, then for 48 more hours after that.

2:29 am

no um on the end in English, sprite ;)

2:30 am

oh dear, you are so right. Antibiotic. Or -tics. Will I ever le5?

2:30 am

phantom -- lantern

2:30 am

i try to avoid the absent letter as often as possible jilli

2:32 am

well, it's half past 3 here, i ought sleep

2:32 am

oh I love finding the ch biggie!

2:32 am

you ought to, seain. Are you gonna do it too?

2:33 am

yes, dc

2:33 am

i am, i'm waning. i usually awake about 5 LOL

2:33 am

lovely to see yall, and special treat seeing you sprite

2:33 am

be well, everyone

2:34 am

oops. Go and get those 2 hours then, dear one. Sleep well!

2:34 am

good night.

2:34 am

same vice versa, seain

2:34 am

sprite, you inspired me to find the ch biggie and I actually did!

2:34 am

woooot jilli! Good job!

2:34 am

{evaporates toward the back of the house}

2:35 am

night dc -- have a good 2 hours -- or maybe you don't have to get up at 5 this time?

2:38 am

and fireworks. Good grid, with some bad ones but also some very rewarding finds :D

2:38 am

nite

2:38 am

night nDan

2:39 am

wow, sprite!!!

2:40 am

I'm speechless -- or if I were maybe I'd get more of the grid done

2:40 am

*giggles* Chatting is half of the fun oftentimes, jilli. Do you need any clue before I leave?

2:41 am

only about 153, sprite, so never mind!

2:42 am

ok :) Then I bid you all adieu. Sleep well, enjoy your day and this grid, and be well. *hugs*

2:42 am

Bye sprite -- have a wonderful day :)

2:46 am

Ambition reached -- NBT

2:47 am

and so to bed -- goodnight, if there's anyone here!

evening all :)

3:35 am

The first la 5/10 is giving me trouble - can anyone help?

3:37 am

la + Mr Onassis(sp?)

3:38 am

TY LoriP - that is the only combination I didn't try!!

Phantom, Charlatan.

3:53 am

Fireworks

congratulations Anike!

3:56 am

TY - nite all

Morning, afternoon, evening (wherever you are) Babblers. So far this grid looks a lot nicer than yesterday's.

Hi Sally, I am finding it harder, but have only been here a few and am getting ready to go to work.

Still don't understand why I can't have dlrnfj as a word - I'm sure it's perfectly acceptable :-)

LOL and I am of to work.

Hi herin

How are you?

Ok, but have tendonitis in my right shoulder which makes it difficult to get dressed, undressed, - but also to do housework! So not all bad.

Cold here. Hard frosts in the mornings, and sometimes all day.

yeoch. I found out why my internet is stuffed due to my darling b.f downloading too much stuff. Could strangle him but he brought me home Chanel No5 from a supplier so he lives

Just seen your cupcake in a mug recipe - sounds great. Must have a word with my girls since they aren't laying in this cold weather.

Sorry about your internet.

That is ok Sally. These things happen. I have told him time and time again don't download.

Poor chickens. Time for a big old heat lamp

A heat lamp? When they are wearing their own duvets?

yep. A heat lamp like with baby chicks

4:29 am

good moring all

4:30 am

hows things herin?

Good. What about you. Please change your password at facebook I think i got hacked

4:32 am

I already did....and I was hacked my my husband

rat bastard why did he do that?

4:34 am

to see what I was "really" thinking

4:34 am

whatever....

that you would write OH i miss him and all the personal stuff. Serriously

OH my b.f bought home Chanel No 5 today from a suplier so he isn't on my bad books

4:37 am

brb..coffee etc

4:44 am

coffee..and oatmeal

4:44 am

do we like today's grid?

4:45 am

no

4:45 am

so there is hope I may like it then kje?

4:45 am

usually that is what that means - LOL

4:46 am

I'll let u know :)

4:46 am

go carlee go

4:47 am

hi herin

4:47 am

4:47 am

They are from Japan. I found out what was wrong with my net

4:48 am

theme = manhole covers

4:49 am

4:49 am

okay... I think I will stick to my smarties

SOMEONE in this house scowles at himself used 6mg of my 5mg linmit

4:51 am

4:52 am

i didn't know you could have a limit, herin... i pay a flat monthly fee but then can use it as much as i like

4:52 am

depends upon ur plan kje

THat is because here we SUCK. We have only one carier no choice our landlord pulled out the original awesome wiring and put in cable with one company that wont and isn't crash hot

Oh but i love him He brought me home Chanel 5 from a business contact

4:57 am

:)

I thought it was totally awesome that a supplier actually asked him if he had a wife or g.f at home then gave him Chanel for me

5:03 am

that is cool

5:03 am

( sorry was upstairs...making lunches)

it is about $235 Aus with perfume bath stuff and body lotion. I feel spoiled

5:05 am

:)...lucky girl...

5:05 am

this grid not flowing at all

Yep. I think that the Chanel girl would have got a huge sales from the people

And I agree with the grid not flowing well

5:08 am

last night i had a phone call from one of the men in my husbands hospital room....he is walking now too

Oh wonderful

5:09 am

Hi anyone i missed

5:48 am

The kids snarfle when I lock them outside to play. :D

5:48 am

I was on call and had no calls overnight! Yippee for not being interrupted during a great dream.

5:48 am

5:49 am

Congratulations gran!

5:49 am

5:49 am

Cookies MUST be eaten before their expiration time. I often ask at bakeries if their triple chocolate cake is about to expire, because I could save them from throwing it out.

5:49 am

congrats, gran !!!

5:49 am

Yahoo for gran!!

5:49 am

it's only polite. food wastage is a bad thing

5:49 am

LOL scrab

5:50 am

I've made not one, not 2, not 3, but 5 batches of iced sugar cookies since Friday. They're not spawnlings, they're vultures....

5:50 am

And I wouldn't want rats to proliferate behind the store, eating tossed food.

5:50 am

i've seen some of these cookies ... you were having fun, weren't you, lori?

5:50 am

one good thing about this grid... you can enter lots of garbage and it takes it

Scrabler our bakery always runs out of stuff

5:51 am

We were like that as kids when our mom made cookies, brownies, cupcakes--the 4 of us would wipe out her hard work within minutes.

5:51 am

One of the suppliers (he works in a multi million dollar co) that supplies stock brought in Christmas presents for just him. Remy Martin Cognac in a really pretty box and Chanel for me

6:04 am

6:06 am

Having resmelt it outside of a store it doesn't smell like cat wizz. There is way too many women that drown themselves in the stuff

6:07 am

Narnia fans know Charn is a word.....

HAHA. I want to try the Cognac my self.

6:13 am

huggggggggggggs

Trifs i told my mum she wasn't my real mum. it hurts Kids are mean

6:13 am

i know, right???

6:13 am

Expect it, Trif, whenever a kid doesn't get what they want. Just tell her you love her and that she may decide.

6:13 am

i did worse, i wrote my mum a letter and stuck it under her bedroom door, she kept it for years

6:13 am

All part of the package. If it yields results for them, expect much repetition.

6:13 am

even now i cry when i thinkuch that had to have hurt

6:14 am

Be calm, compassionate and loving.

6:14 am

thanks al.

6:14 am

just tell her you love her, even after she's been mean

6:14 am

not only will it confuse her for a bit, but it will make her think

6:14 am

Yippee, I checked the balance on my mortgage---$1140 and the house is mine!!

6:16 am

I will pay it off, then invest +/or pay off other debt. My goal is to be debt free someday.

The first two ca8s start with something that sounds chalk-like.

6:18 am

ca8 - three letters of Los Angeles'State, three letters of American's tin, finish off with two vowels at the beginning of a direction on a compass.

6:18 am

haz and glitterata!

6:18 am

The second ca8/50 is exactly the same, save for the last vowel, change it to another.

6:18 am

Hi there, Haz !

Thank you

6:19 am

Hello there! Just passing through on my way to the ironing board.

6:19 am

what is an ironing board? (-:

6:19 am

Hi Hazel

6:19 am

Ironing Board? What Company do they run?

6:19 am

it's that think you stick in the cupboard and ignore

6:19 am

Another 8 is ch8/55 - a means of heating or artistic medium.

6:19 am

hi there hazel

6:20 am

Iironing board, iron? I think I have those somewhere in the house.

6:20 am

and....that's the 8s for me! thank you so much haz

6:20 am

An ironing board. Friend of self-scheduling domestic engineers who don't like wrinkles.

6:20 am

Me too, but no idea where

6:20 am

got 2xca8/50 & ch8/55, what's the last 8?

6:21 am

I use Oil of Olay for my wrinkles.

6:21 am

You're welcome.

6:21 am

my mum even iron's dish cloths

6:21 am

ugh. I need a new ironing board, actually, and the thought of going to shop for one is just too depressing, isn't it?

6:21 am

I use sandpaper

There's a ca 8/45

6:21 am

i know where mine is...i can't get to it...when we moved in 10 years ago..husband thought..i'll put it beside frezer..I cannot get it out without unloading my 25cu foot freezer and moving the freezer...not enough room to get it out from behind

6:21 am

ca8/45

6:21 am

oh, hello everyone by the wan (I'm sooooo rude!!!)

6:21 am

put my wrinkles in the clothes dryer for a few minutes

6:21 am

ca8/45 - birds or a group of islands off the coast of Africa.

6:21 am

my mum irons underwear

6:21 am

hey ishult

6:22 am

:) @ Aloy

6:22 am

hi Ishult

6:22 am

G'd morning Ishult

6:22 am

i found that a damp sponge in the drier with a dry shirt makes it come out nice and crease free

6:22 am

jacq - I iron teatowels. I draw the line at socks and towels.

6:22 am

ty...all the 8's done at least

6:22 am

hi there ishult

6:22 am

doesn't quite work with jeans but who cares

6:22 am

what about underwear?

6:22 am

wow Haz, really? (calls for the men in white coats)

6:22 am

i love the smell of freshly ironed clean clothes....

6:23 am

that good afternoon here LoriP

ok so there is 3 Ca 8 and a ch 8?

6:23 am

I draw the line at ironing.

6:23 am

can i show off my oldest grand-daughter please, my icon pic is her after she got her hands on the bum cream

6:23 am

No, I don't do underwear. Tea towels are easy - and it sterilises them so that they're ready for use in an emergency. Anybody could crash outside my house and I'd be there with my sterilised tea towels.

never mind

6:23 am

Hi Ishult

6:24 am

Jac, she is lovely!

Thank you

6:24 am

hey scrabbler

6:24 am

she is a star

6:24 am

thanks

Why do kids do that

6:24 am

lol jacq, what a mess. My sisters now grown youngest, got in to a FULL jar of Vaseline at that age. Took her all day to degrease the child, and the crib, and the......

THank you Has

6:25 am

lol

6:25 am

too be truly sterilised, you'd have to vacuum seal each one after ironing *prim*

At least that beats the paint with poo kids do

6:25 am

Haz, 'yer so practical. Emergency preparedness through ironing. You should offer a course.

6:25 am

Very cute pic, Jacq! A classic!

6:25 am

yes she's done that too, not quite photo album material

6:26 am

ty

6:26 am

Hazael, your preparedness is amazing!

6:26 am

secondo did it with oil based paint. had to wipe her down with terps!

eww

6:26 am

*proud gran*

6:26 am

time for me to scoot.. fun chatting with you all.. see you next grid. Have a T-riffic Tuesday! bye..

6:26 am

OKay, off I go to finish the task in hand. Cling film standing by for the sealing. (You do know I'm joking?)

6:26 am

Have a great day Aloy!

6:26 am

Laters Haz.

I have heard of a kid that was blue as the paint wouldn't come off. Thank you haz for your clues

6:27 am

About the sealing..... Bye for now!

6:27 am

yes, but we also know you are going to look at the cling film and think, well,,,,maybe.....

6:27 am

byeeeeee!

6:27 am

I was quite amazed the other day. I was working in a charity shop and a family came in. With a girl about 10-11. While her mum was shopping she sat in the changing room and in there was a set of steps. She called her mum over and with a straight face she said ' thats my stepladder, I once had a real one but it left home when I was three'!!!I think I met a p[otential comedian!!

7:46 am

she fears she has to put her beloved pet down

7:47 am

oh dear :( :( :(

Oh, that's so sad.

7:48 am

she made the decision to do it, called the vet, took the dog to the car, and the battery was dead. that had never happened to her before. talk about a sign from the universe!

a fire truck?

7:53 am

hopefully a false alarm

7:54 am

most likely

I thought you meant in the grid :-)

7:55 am

new haven sent six police cars, a fire truck and an ambulance when this woman got slightly tapped by a car going about 5 mph and she fell down cause she was oldish. she was pretty ok and going to go to the health center.

7:55 am

so you see, i don't think too much of it when i see emergency vehicles around here

that was a bit of overkill with six police cars

7:56 am

yeah. just a smidge.

firetruck and ambo are pretty routine for any auto accident but 6 police cars ... they must have not had anything else to do

7:58 am

tax dollars on display!

yep !

8:01 am

good morning all

8:07 am

hello my friends - this grid looks a bit daunting - no?

8:08 am

8:20 am

oohhh, in the proper noun arena: italian opera house!

8:20 am

la scala?

8:20 am

ding ding ding

8:20 am

:-

8:20 am

i know . . . too obvious

8:21 am

no, it's good

8:21 am

so often when people pick up on the game, i want to encourage this initiative to participate, but i don't know the answer

8:22 am

really? hard to believe, hursh!

8:23 am

well it is true nevertheless

8:24 am

gotta run -- BBL!

8:25 am

i'm thtuck

8:26 am

al4/4 sec one please?

mr. alda

8:26 am

Good day, fellow homo sapiens!

hi Judi

8:26 am

oh sure, just assume everyone playing is human. how speciesist.

8:27 am

mr.alda?

8:27 am

you know, hawkeye on MASH

8:27 am

grrrr i dont watch mash lol

8:28 am

Pardon my faux pas. I should include the monkeys as well.

8:28 am

well, he was also in "What Women Want"

8:28 am

and he guest starred on ER for an episode or two

8:28 am

and... what else...

8:29 am

i'm sure he's done lots of things

8:29 am

the west wing, hurshy

8:29 am

lol i still dont have it ....do u have an easier way to clue it?

8:29 am

ah, there ya go (i didn't watch that one)

8:29 am

He narrated some science thing a few years ago. Can't remember if it was a NOVA series, or NG...

its a very common first name

8:31 am

indeed, i have an uncle by that name.

8:32 am

Uncle Alda?

could I have some help with the en7 please

8:38 am

en7: keep spellbound

thank you!

8:39 am

I've always wondered at the spelling of that word--why doesn't it have a double consonant at the end, given its derivation?

8:40 am

cl 5,16

a coffee cl***

8:41 am

There sure are a lot of ar/21 words in this grid!

Lynn did you find your al4?

8:44 am

thanks for the hint..i got it

8:45 am

it does have a double consonant, jan, this is just an alternate spelling.

8:46 am

and i don't see why some things can't be more ar6 than other things

8:46 am

Me neither. Many of these words are far ar/21-er than others.

8:47 am

so, i've got ca8 and ch8, what do other people have?

8:47 am

there are 3 different ca 8 words

8:48 am

The other 2 are ca's--both ar/21 and both similar with different endings. (I slunk off to a2z to find them...)

8:49 am

they are NOT normal wormals words like the other two 8's

8:49 am

And, in penance, I looked up the first--latin for heel bone.

8:50 am

Normal has no place in Babble.

8:54 am

can you clue them, jan or wv?

c + mr gore + metal container with a vowel ending

8:56 am

they both come before the other "normal" ca 8 and hboth have latin endings

two vowels at the end of each

8:58 am

thank you very much both of you, have got them!

8:59 am

can i get a clue on tr 6,18?

9:00 am

aha, i must need that word

9:01 am

I'm not mean...I just don't like you

9:01 am

good morning

9:02 am

i'm assuming that's a clue :)

9:02 am

:)

9:03 am

insult? irony? *thinks*

9:03 am

why take it personal hurshy?

9:04 am

OMG just spoke with HR at probable new employer. I interviwe Friday at 11 GMT-5, and i really think the interview is mostly perfunctory! I am so excited!

9:04 am

good morning :D

9:04 am

wtg dc!!

9:04 am

what's the job, dc? will you have better hours?

9:04 am

That's great, dc!! Fingers and toes crossed!

9:04 am

Actually, that is the saying on my night shirt

9:04 am

And major points for using the word "perfunctory" in a sentence.

9:05 am

good morning

9:05 am

with the Global Onlne Enrollment System/NEXUS/SENTRY Helpdesk, working M-F 7:30-4:30 with holidays off and great benefits

9:05 am

i used the word effusive when talking to my mom recently and she didn't know what it was :(

9:05 am

yea, he spelled it right, but misspelled interview!

9:05 am

Hi, Flosey, Phae, et al.

9:05 am

why, ty, judy :)

9:05 am

judi, sorry

9:06 am

Hope this new job doesn't expect perfect spelling...;)

9:06 am

wtg dc, positive vibes going your way

9:06 am

my brother-in-law had an interview this morning as well, i have not yet heard how it went.

9:06 am

hello, phae and flosey and judi et al :)

9:06 am

no phae, it does not. like current job, it does expect functionality in Spanish and in English.

9:06 am

i will call my sister.

9:07 am

best to him with that, hurshy

9:07 am

Well, I am going to assume you have those qualities :)

9:08 am

need coffee, brb

9:08 am

yes, i'm the Spanish speaker on my current team :)

9:13 am

no habla espanol

9:14 am

most don't, which is why they pay me to do it :)

9:15 am

i want to habla espanol

9:15 am

i bought some books for learning it

9:15 am

but it's hard to discipline oneself to actually study when one doesn't have much opportunity to use it

9:15 am

Siempre hay de aprender. There is always to learn. RosettaStone, though expensive, works well

9:15 am

very true, hurshy

9:16 am

my mother is annoyed that she does not, as it would help where she lives.

9:16 am

i think this grid is starting to annoy me.

9:17 am

with you. i'm entereing stuff into lickety now

it's been annoying me for the last hour hurshy

9:18 am

I've hit the annoyance wall at 50 here.

9:18 am

thing is, it's annoying, yet, if i get the list, then i'll be bored after i'm done.

9:19 am

name that proper noun! nissan model

9:19 am

Gee, my tough luck. I'm being forced to go to a Police Chief's luncheon today. I'll be forced to sit among good looking men in uniform and eat high quality food. Sucks to be me.

9:19 am

:P

9:19 am

do enjoy, judi :)

i'll trade with ya Judi, you can sit here and have a sandwich with my hubby

9:20 am

I certainly will. Ordinarily, I wouldn't get to go to such things. As I am a lowly civilian secretary. However, the Sergeant begged off because he has to interview a child porn perv.

9:20 am

ick

should just lock the perv. up and forget about him

9:22 am

Ick, indeed. Dumb ar4/4 took his laptop into Staples to have it serviced. There was kiddie porn shortcuts all over the desktop.

9:22 am

does anyone have any scr words? or should i not bother looking for any?

not as of yet hurshy but i only have 3 sc words so far

9:22 am

as a fictional detective once said, "it's lucky for us criminals are stupid"

9:23 am

Don't know Hurshy. I have 11 S words left.

9:23 am

i've not found any yet, but also only have 3 SCs so far

9:23 am

It's true. Criminals are stupid. It makes for great job security.

9:23 am

I have 4 sc's

9:24 am

although nothing beats the guys who once broke into a house, found a polaroid, didn't know about them (i think this was early 90's), took a pic of themselves, thought it didn't work cause it was all grey, took off, leaving the pic in the house they robbed.

oh thats funny hurshy!

9:24 am

There are 11 sc's. I have found 6 so far.

9:24 am

how funny, hurshy

9:24 am

they musta been young

9:25 am

i don't know, if they were young, they probably would have known how polaroids worked! they'd been out for years.

9:25 am

but they ae not as common as they were decades ago

9:26 am

right but, this was like 15 years ago, when they were still relatively common

9:26 am

true

9:26 am

I know they don't even make Polaroids any more. I doubt film is available either.

9:26 am

I remember BEGGING for one for my birthday. I did get one. Took the suckiest pictures ever.

9:27 am

howdy everyone:)

I had a few of them over the years. The pictures did not hold up well at all

9:27 am

hiya, cross

hi Crossy!

9:28 am

talking bout cameras? 3 years ago i had to rush to get all my undeveloped 110 film done cause they were phasing it out;/

9:28 am

And the film was very expensive. Huge cartridge that you had to load like an 8-track. Amazing how clunky and crude it seems compared to the technology we have now.

9:28 am

polaroids specifically :) oh, what bother cross

is it still snowing there Crossy? the webcams look a little blurry

9:29 am

so true, judi

9:29 am

4 more inches last night:/

9:29 am

my mom worked on computers back when they took up a whole room and you had to feed in your programs on cards and when you had bugs in the system it was bc you LITERALLY had bugs in the system.

9:29 am

4 more this evening:((

9:29 am

Hiya, Crossy! Better you than us!

I remember those hurshy! The place i worked had one

9:30 am

hurshy those would probably the old havc systems;)

9:30 am

hvac*

9:30 am

i saw one of those at CSC long ago on a field trip

9:31 am

LOL, Hurshy. I remember my father talking about "Univac". The dinosaur of all computers.

9:31 am

what do you get if you cross a tse tse fly with a mountain climber?

9:31 am

*thinks*

9:32 am

*sigh. I feel old talking about Univac. I remember having to use manual typewriters in typing class in HS.

9:32 am

a guy who falls off mt. kilamanjaro while trying to swat the tse tse fly?

9:32 am

Unknown - one's a vector and the other's a sc6.21

9:32 am

we used both typewriters and WordStar when i wis in HS

9:32 am

We had to use manual typewriters in middle school

9:32 am

er, was, not wis

9:33 am

we had typewriters too! not so very long ago

oh gosh Judy I'm from that era also

9:33 am

no, no SCR words

9:33 am

Yep, dc. 1/2 of the semester was on the manuals, the other 1/2 on electric. Man, did we bash the hell out of those electrics.

9:33 am

thanks dc

9:34 am

we had only electricts, but i still have a 1956 Tippa portable manual

I remember when the IBM Selectrics came out and you could change the font on the typewriter

9:34 am

Lol. "Portable". Bet it weighs a ton.

9:34 am

5 sn, or more?

9:34 am

oh yes, changing the ball out :)

9:34 am

5 SN is correct

only five hurshy

9:35 am

1 so?

9:35 am

yes, hursh

9:35 am

And dropping the ball, and having it roll across the floor - under your classmates desk.

oh that must have been funny judi

9:36 am

8 sc? :S

9:36 am

A trail of inky letters on the linoleum...

9:36 am

I remember the joy of the advent of backspace with white-out

I was working when they first came out, had the first one in our company

9:36 am

neat, nanette

9:36 am

did you have those little white-out sheets that you stuck between the key and the paper?

9:36 am

yes!!

yep sure did!

9:37 am

yep, and the rolling erasers - a sculpture of which exists in the NGA Sculpture garden here in DC, it's brush 'blowing' in the wind LOL

9:37 am

Yes, I remember the white-out sheets. The worked horribly. If you made a mistake, you were better off starting over.

9:37 am

i liked the tape-style dispensers for whiting out

9:38 am

*they*

9:38 am

10:05 am

Her teeth are growing in and her claws are sharpening, she seems to feel the urge to remind me of this many times a day by sharpening on my arms.

10:06 am

kitten squashing is character forming

10:06 am

ohhhh *that* stage. enjoy!

10:06 am

But not too sick to babble. I did not go to sleep until 5:30 this morning. Could not see myself getting up in an hour for a 12 hour day. I was just thinking about a nap. Feel guilty babbling here when I should be sick

uni - don't tolerate that.

10:06 am

I made Christmas punch, eggnog and gingerbread men! I am full of yuletide.

forgive me - watched "it's me or the dog" last night. that british girl who trains owners.

10:14 am

Oh my, I guess I should be thankful Emma has a little tongue

10:14 am

yeah, it's called a not very good show dog

10:14 am

hi dc

ah have not ever heard of them. hi stid,

10:15 am

oh good! was concerned you were sick again.

10:15 am

Oh I have on of those

10:15 am

Carlee - tea and sugar and water and a few types of unsweetened juices, then a bit of that and some gingerale. Family recipe

10:15 am

hello Uniquity! long time no see! have to go soon, lazing around home this morning.

10:15 am

martin is a showcat

10:15 am

asalaam, carlee

10:15 am

just couldn't wake up!

10:15 am

i show him to people and say, "look, it's a martin cat"

10:15 am

Ah, but every show cocker I have seen was dumb as a post because of breeding. Also usually quite ill.

10:15 am

working cockers are cockers really, but they are somewhat different in shape and size, and they are bred to be working dogs

10:15 am

sounds yummy....

10:16 am

looooooool

10:16 am

Allo Stiddy!! How've you and the little Stids been?

10:16 am

i have what seems to be a perfunctory interview for the new job on Friday at 11 gmt-5

10:16 am

this is the advantage of working cockers. They don't have a lot of the stupidness / anger issues / inbreeding of show cockers

10:16 am

there he goes again

10:16 am

I just got a bottle of wine..that is a holiday blend of white wine, cranberry concentrate, orange extract and clove..dying to try making it

10:16 am

hi hurshy

10:16 am

however, you have a more bouncy dog, usually!

10:17 am

hi carlee

10:17 am

Or you could get a barn cat. THey come with a lot of cute a tonne of cuddle and a bit of scratch.

10:17 am

shed cats are the best, apparently

10:18 am

my mitty kitty was a barn cat

10:18 am

oh, food was a good idea

10:18 am

awwww *loves mitty*

10:18 am

sounds yummy, carlee, the new wine

10:18 am

anyone have the last sa6?

10:18 am

She has found a plate with egg remnant..she seems to believe if she licks it slow enough I can't see her

10:19 am

loooool sneakiness

10:19 am

i had to apologize to marty the other day

10:19 am

i don't yet, hursh

10:19 am

i thought he splashed a bunch of water but really it just wicked down the cotton.

10:20 am

poor marty

10:21 am

well, i mean, all that happened was i said, "MAR-ty!" and then later when i realized it wasn't him, i said, "i'm sorry i blamed you"

10:21 am

yes, poor marty -- what were you thinking hurshy?!?

10:21 am

LOL

10:22 am

I'm sure he accepted the apology gracefully

10:22 am

sorry Uniquity, was off making tea. I am doing pretty well. The hard work for the quarter is done, just attending a few more student presentations and collecting my "grade"...

10:22 am

the kids of course, are just amazing. We have one winter concert tonight, and then three next week.

10:23 am

Yay for the end of work! I wrote my last paper yesterday, last exam on sat. Am just working at the store now...which I need to go do! Take care all, be back later perhaps

10:23 am

and how are the grades stiddy???

10:23 am

it is weird, i can't help it. i've also apologized to the cats when i've walked in on them in the litterbox...

10:23 am

later Uniquity!

10:23 am

later uni....

10:23 am

well, cats ARE private creatures!

10:24 am

yes, and i knew that, so that's why!

ah me...i am stuck at 100

10:24 am

urg...red wines take SO long to filter....

10:24 am

s + sounds like setting a fire on purpose

10:25 am

i am filtering my amerone today :)...am fast aging 1/3 of it so I have over holiday season

10:25 am

have fun, uni

10:25 am

oh, great clue hurshy!

10:25 am

nice, carlee

10:25 am

now carlee, make sure you do not put that new wine in any old wineskins. do they still use wineskins?

10:25 am

no idea....

10:26 am

i know u can still buy them....

10:26 am

ty, great clue, hurshy

10:26 am

well, over 100 words now, better hit the road. see you-all from the lecture hall! *poof*

A young Chinese woman was left partially deaf following a passionate kiss from her boyfriend. The 20-something from Zhuhai in Guangdong province arrived at hospital having completely lost the hearing in her left ear, said local reports. The incident prompted a series of articles in the local media warning of the dangers of excessive kissing. "While kissing is normally very safe, doctors advise people to proceed with caution," wrote the China Daily.

Oh stid ..thats sad

12:38 pm

Oh no that is terrible Stid, i'm really sorry. Alli really wanted a natural birth but as soon as the baby was in any danger the operated straight away and both are fine. I think it gave Alli & Andy both a fright though.

algae are the coolest things

1:01 pm

what type of algae is he using? blue-green?

1:03 pm

Hello, at least for a bit.

1:03 pm

he used a special kind of fresh-water algae... I will try to ask when he pauses. Some students just know SO MUCH!

1:03 pm

Ata, you name was in yesterday's New York Times crossword puzzle. It was spelled with an "a" at the end though

1:03 pm

he just said almost any algae can work, though. but his experiment used just the one.

1:03 pm

VII!IIIIIIII!!!III!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I !I!I!!!

Chlamydomonas! Yay!!

1:05 pm

You are awesome - I'm loving this!

1:05 pm

he used the Chlorella protohecoides for his experiment

1:05 pm

1:05 pm

Hey, everyone, kwaker is a friend of mine that I have brought into the Babble of no return!

1:07 pm

well it sounds the same!

1:07 pm

well yes, but we also learned (several times this quarter) that sometimes the failures are opportunities for even greater learning.

1:08 pm

usually the case, stiddy. things can work too well and be an anticlimax

1:08 pm

success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm

1:08 pm

What grade is this student, stidmama? Sounds pretty sophisitcated.

1:08 pm

He is a remarkably articulate, self-possessed, capable young man. only a couple years older than my elder son, he really will go far in life.

I'd like clues for the 8's please, from katie :-p

1:08 pm

ne + your hand is attached to the wr***

1:09 pm

unfortunately, all those mean little in academia, most of the time

1:09 pm

ca8, 50 x2 is the latin name for the heel bone, opne is singular the other is plural

1:09 pm

jean? how are you?

1:09 pm

I have really enjoyed this program, and will miss it next quarter. BUT ... I am also really looking forward to the linguistics program I will be in starting in January. That's more my field

1:09 pm

Hey Vi, can I help it if I am down with my bad self?

1:09 pm

Oooh, go linguistics!

I'm still feeling drained. I didn't do it yesterday

1:09 pm

yes, but at our school (see profile and icon) students have great encouragement and are often first author on papers.

1:10 pm

*hugshugshugs*

1:10 pm

Yeah, that's you, kwaker. You're so bad! =P

1:10 pm

Thanks to all for your good wishes. Wouldn't you know, I have to go... but I'll be back! (I hope that's a promise and not a threat.)

1:10 pm

YES! will be studying lushootseed some (the local native language)

tyty. I don't know if you were around when I came back and said my car would not start, dead battery

1:10 pm

oh Esprit! *sad and worried mama look*

I took that as a call from the governor

1:10 pm

see you soon kwaker

1:10 pm

as they should be! but 1 paper does not a career make. Academia doesn't depend on cleverness or papers

1:11 pm

See you later, kwaker! No matter how you try to get away, Babble will draw you back!

1:11 pm

:-D true, but the encouragement is wonderful. Evergreen sends a HUGE number (by percent -- we're a small school) to medical schools and grad schools like Harvard and such...

1:12 pm

oh - we're still talking undergrad level? I thought you were talking grad students

1:12 pm

oh no -- undergrad, I am doing post-bac work right now

1:12 pm

encouragement is very nice. Government grants don't give a stuff how much encouragement someone had :P Academia is a place of disillusionment, maybe

1:13 pm

will apply to the master's in teaching program for next year

1:13 pm

oh ok, they've still got a few years doing their PhDs to get disillusioned then looooool

1:13 pm

academia can truly SUCK. but if you love your subject, I think it's not bad. Me? I want to teach. That makes all this bearable

1:14 pm

What/who do you want to teach, stidma?

1:14 pm

apparently there is someone who proposes that some biofuels can actually be carbon Negative...

1:14 pm

10 :)

1:14 pm

it's not that bad? lol. the problem with academia is that you can love your subject and still not be able to work in that field because of money / placements / tenure issues at universities / people not liking your PhD supervisor etc

1:14 pm

I want to teach middle school humanities (english and history), but also will be qualified to teach elementary school

1:14 pm

8

1:14 pm

Go, cybernan, go!

1:15 pm

wats good people

1:15 pm

Oh, I LOVE middle school! That would be awesome.

1:15 pm

and when i say academia, I mean university level research / lab research etc. teaching at other levels, working for the government etc are different matters

1:15 pm

middle school sucks

1:16 pm

oh -- I wouldn't get a PhD for the world... my friend with her chem fud stays home with the kids. The only jobs available were in industry, and FAR from where she and her husband live.

1:16 pm

1:27 pm

I AM ON YOUR SIDE SNOOP DOG

1:28 pm

they all start with a man's name, daniel

1:28 pm

thank you

1:29 pm

I got them...thanks so much

1:29 pm

gosh, every word is hard work now

1:29 pm

you are very welcome. Stupid grid today, lots of pretend words. This is the hardest grid I have seen yet. Granted, I am still a newbie

1:30 pm

but finishing such grids is a real acheivement

1:30 pm

what can dr. g actually do to quiet trolls, and do they happen often?

1:30 pm

I was gonna say...GREAT! since this is only the 2nd grid i've worked on

1:30 pm

he can block their account trifioso

1:30 pm

he kills them :D

1:30 pm

they happen in spurts. a lot during school holidays.

1:31 pm

oh.....better mind my p's and q's then!

1:31 pm

how about this presentation title: Microbial Fuel Cells

1:31 pm

I've seen them twice and only been doing this a month now

1:31 pm

that#s an interesting thing

1:31 pm

gosh. can you sexy that up a bit?

1:32 pm

that is why we are often reluctant to interact with new people ... trolls are almost invariably new names; though a few of us more established folk can be trollish at times

1:32 pm

LOL trifioso! it is a good idea, using natural processes without toxic byproducts to slowly charge batteries

1:32 pm

I think I might be a repeat offender, always in here moaning my jilted status....i had better shut it, I think

1:32 pm

they tick me off cuase I can't use the clues fast enough! lol

1:33 pm

okay, stid, let me think.....there has got to be a sexy title in there somewhere.....

1:33 pm

I think you can see the difference between you and troll brats, trif!

1:34 pm

1:51 pm

1:51 pm

ca7 - epica***** fold of Asian people

1:51 pm

VERY twisty grid today. the consonant-heavy ones usually are

1:51 pm

thanks BR, will have to look up meaninig of that one

1:51 pm

oh, good clue, ata :)

1:52 pm

hmmm. I am dark and twisty, so you think this would be easier....

1:52 pm

ty! I've been trying to use that all day!

1:52 pm

sorry - use what?

1:53 pm

this as a clue; ca7 - epica***** fold of Asian people

1:53 pm

BR - thought for a minute you were using one of TJ's fishy Christmas carols

1:54 pm

hey ata, wanna hear my good news of the day? I went to the bank to open a checking account in my own name, and I got a free cooler with a radio in it, to take to the beach in summer. yay me!

1:55 pm

wow trif, that's great

1:55 pm

i have to take my joy where i can find it....

1:55 pm

shouldn't they give you something wintery??!!

1:56 pm

oh, hey - has anyone seen "australia?" I was thinking of going tonight whilst the kids are at dinner with their dad, but I am not sure if it is a tear-jerker movie or not. Not really in the mood for more crying

1:56 pm

no one here likes to think about the winter. most of us see it as something to be endured.

1:56 pm

it's meant to be teary, someone was saying yesterday

1:56 pm

sorry trif, haven't seen it

1:57 pm

hmmm. well, staring at hugh jackman might be good

1:57 pm

thats always good

1:59 pm

anything has got to be better than just sitting here alone while they go out

1:59 pm

I'm so excited, I got my digital tv box !

2:00 pm

now maybe i can watch House!

2:00 pm

yay harp! is that one of those converter things?

2:00 pm

oh, cool, jane!

2:01 pm

oh dear. someone I knew nearly 15 years ago came adn talked to me on facebook a few days ago, and now he's dropped his girlfriend because I'm talking to him again (apparently he never stopped loooooving me, even though we were only friends!)

2:01 pm

yup, we get our tv through the airwaves so this will mean we can still watch tv next year....

2:01 pm

ata! how do you feel about that????

2:01 pm

good gracious, ata

2:01 pm

sounds a bit forward to me ata

2:01 pm

that's a silly move on his part for a short chat after so long a gap

2:01 pm

wait a second - he isn't an irish guy from boston, is he?

2:01 pm

Smug. She's bound to feel smug.

2:02 pm

why do you suppose that, haz?

2:02 pm

is the ta7 a plural?

2:02 pm

Because she's Atalante. She is smug.

2:02 pm

yes, jane

2:03 pm

oh, that she. :">

2:03 pm

thanks

2:03 pm

I shouldn't laugh about it, but I am!

2:03 pm

as is fitting, ata :D

2:03 pm

and smug of course :P

2:04 pm

I'd check out if he'd been spending time at the Home for the Bewildered. Not that it isn't understandable that he should retain feelings but 15 years and a short chat?

2:04 pm

omg, this grid BLOWS. I finally get my sister to play yesterday, and then today we get THSI

2:05 pm

she is NEVER gonna come back now

2:05 pm

and if he's spent 15 yrs pining after you, goodness he needs mental help. Time to move on, dude.

2:05 pm

You'd be surprised. Some people get addicted really quickly.

2:06 pm

yes, i imagine i would be surprised. sigh

2:06 pm

I'm obviously just soooo wonderful!!!

2:06 pm

well, yes, but stil, sheesh.

2:07 pm

I like men spending 15 years pining over me! it's ego-boosting!

2:07 pm

sounds like gum on your shoe, to me, ata

2:07 pm

He sounds like a bit of a dead loss to me. Hardly Action Man!

2:08 pm

lol I don't intend on talking to him anymore, after that little outburst. not fair on him

2:08 pm

sound plan, ata, and i agree, haz

2:08 pm

Poor man. Another 15 years of pining ahead.

as

2:09 pm

he *does* look good in a kilt thouh. He's very Scottish

2:09 pm

Sounds rather creepy, if you ask me.

2:09 pm

Scotsmen are quite intense.

2:09 pm

here's hoping the woman he dumped is understanding. otoh, i bet he dies alone. and i agree there, FM, i was worried about stalking

2:09 pm

hmmm - does he go native under that kilt????

2:09 pm

*sigh* I'm used to it

2:10 pm

Well! Fmitch is here! Good evening!

2:10 pm

hi FM!

2:10 pm

Evening one and all just waiting for the kettle to boil :)

2:10 pm

Don't watch the kettle if you want it to boil.

2:10 pm

mmmm tea, yes please!

2:11 pm

could you upload me a cuppa, please?

2:11 pm

ooh, tea, yes pls

2:11 pm

LOL Pomegranate and plum, PG ?

2:12 pm

haven;t you got any earl grey?

2:12 pm

ahah! home early from school... doctor loaded me up with antibiotics and i want some tea too. nice to find you all here

2:12 pm

*gets lots of mugs out of the cupboard, rootles about for cookies*

2:12 pm

stid got out of school early too, welcome, dorens

2:12 pm

hi all.

2:12 pm

Back in a tick

2:12 pm

Hello Dorens

2:13 pm

*add some butter cookies to the spread*

2:13 pm

i was sent home by my principal... she made me go to the doctor. i normally don't go for "just a cold" hi haz

2:13 pm

i see, dorens. i do hope you feel better soon

2:13 pm

FMitch mentioned a tick? We don't need ticks around.

2:13 pm

not lyme disease! where??!!

2:13 pm

i'm bound to dc, thanks

2:14 pm

is there lyme in britain, too?

2:14 pm

I don't know, but I'm spraying antiseptic just in case.

2:14 pm

haz, someone mentioned recently that you hadn't been around much. glad to see you here... is this your regular time of day now?

2:14 pm

very little, dc

2:15 pm

she's been in the house for the bewildered

2:15 pm

huh. i tought it was an East NA thing. here, lyme is quite common.

2:15 pm

No, Dorens, I'm usually on earlier in the day. I was taking a little break in order to keep a low profile, so to speak. I was actually taking a masterclass in sewing but I knew no-one would believe me.

2:15 pm

hahahaha *not laughing*

2:15 pm

and by the powers of babble magic *serves tea to all*

2:16 pm

oh, what fun, haz!

2:16 pm

no why would they believe that? not dramatic enough

2:16 pm

Many regulars know that I have needle and thread issues. We don't get on.

2:16 pm

ty, FM *butter cookie anyone?*

2:16 pm

'cos Haz hates anything to do with needles and threads!

2:17 pm

yum dc :)

2:17 pm

The Home for the Bewildered is MUCH more likely. Or helping George Clooney learn his lines.

2:17 pm

machine sewing has little relation to needles, and only modederate relation to thread, really.

2:17 pm

they get on MG and old trikes

2:17 pm

did you bake them dc?

2:17 pm

*like MG and old trikes

2:17 pm

al4, no, dorens, store bought they are

2:18 pm

then i can resist, thank you

2:18 pm

Yoda dc is

2:18 pm

oh machine sweing can be incredible when you freestyle it w/out the foot as part of an embroidery

2:19 pm

*sits back down quietly*

2:19 pm

oh, sorry. i do that sometimes thanks to great-grandma and grandma. their native language is OVS

2:19 pm

*everyone stares at FM*

2:19 pm

indeed it can, FM

2:19 pm

(I'm picturing FM with a wild look in her eye and organ music blaring as she free-sews)

2:19 pm

the phaaaaaantom of the sewing machine is here ....

2:19 pm

*pulls blankie over head and hides*

2:19 pm

ROFL haz :D

2:19 pm

LOL!

OVS?

2:20 pm

oh, new kitten pix in my flickr, by the by

2:20 pm

haz that made me laugh out loud, literally, and then coughing fit ensued

2:20 pm

Would Andrew Lloyd Webber be able to make something of it? He needs inspiration for Eurovision.

2:20 pm

I'm just looking at Hobbit nad Spangle in their pics. How come Haz gets a quiet, clean, tidy spaniel?

2:20 pm

object verb subject, mirror image of SVO of English

2:20 pm

Oh Dorens. I'm a danger to babblers sometimes.

2:21 pm

Greetings everyone. Been on lurk mode for awhile. Here on a mental health day from work.

2:21 pm

2:23 pm

true met, we probably are on at different times

2:23 pm

Hi again everyone, back with fresh baked rum-soaked currant, orange zest, shortbread cookies to go with tea

2:23 pm

hi pini, jean

yes but I was not familiar with that

2:23 pm

oh flosey that sounds terrific. can NOT resist that

2:23 pm

Goodness! someone slammed the sliding door downstairs. Oh, their teenager must be home.

2:23 pm

Hello flosey.

2:24 pm

Oh flosey they sound devine!

2:24 pm

I spent Thanksgiving week with Pugmama, and she has a new kitty, very sweet, but can be a mischievous brat, too.

2:24 pm

oh, yummy, flosey, ty!

2:24 pm

hi Haz, good to see you

2:24 pm

You too, flosey.

2:24 pm

yes, kittens and two-yr-olds are much alike in that, mut

2:24 pm

hi, lady! :D

2:24 pm

but new kittens are always so much fun

2:24 pm

hi herin

2:25 pm

herin had a new kitten last year, yes?

2:25 pm

could I have a clue for ta6 please?

How are you?

2:25 pm

Hi, herin, Flosey

Yes Dorens

2:25 pm

hi Met

2:26 pm

i'm well, lady. you should see me LJ over last severa days, and my flickr

Waves back to every one.

2:26 pm

mi kitten's cute/annoying trick is to crawl into my arms while i'm typing

Hi Alby

2:28 pm

Can't leave a bathroom door open around Pug's - the kitty (we've taken to calling her "Beast!!") shreds rolls of toilet paper faster than you can blink an eye!!

2:28 pm

he grooms you back, lady

2:28 pm

my cat has suddenly refused to come into the house - he's around, comes for food but waits for me to put it outside the door - don't understand, he still likes to be patted, etc. but outside only

2:28 pm

May I please have a clue for ta5-10 the 1st? Thanks

2:28 pm

yes, they are won to do dothat

2:28 pm

plural of the food, peach

2:28 pm

can

2:28 pm

can

2:29 pm

can

2:29 pm

yes trif.. french dance

2:29 pm

well, he knows he's welckme, flosey

2:29 pm

lol

2:29 pm

i didn' t know you danced, triflo

2:29 pm

ta5/10 - add a consonant to the preceding ta4/4. Last two letters begin the Camelot King.

2:29 pm

thanks Haz

Flosey have you changed anything in the house?

2:30 pm

what the hell goes on with this chog sometime?

2:30 pm

You're welcome.

2:30 pm

dcseain, I have the food one as ta5-12 Is that the one you clued?

2:30 pm

Can anyone please clue me for the 1st or 2nd ar6/21?? Thanx

2:30 pm

I was trying to say "I can't wait til Christmas,and my son gets his new kitty."

2:31 pm

sorry for teh 10 add a cons to the 4 before it

2:31 pm

ar6/21 the second is a word meaning ordinary, the first is structured the same but ends in a different vowel.

2:31 pm

no herin, but our neighbour/helper is here a lot, but cat seems very friendly with him

2:31 pm

ar6 - places where sports events are held

Trifs it gets possessed. DC I haven't been able to open more than one tab as someone in the house used all my 5 gig to download a lot of crap

2:31 pm

ar6 - past of the verb, as in he has ar6

Hi met. I don't see you around much

2:32 pm

it's weird to me that you have download limits, an i forget that

2:32 pm

TY DC and Haz

2:32 pm

You're welcome, Met.

2:32 pm

possessed? are we back with the Bewildered?

2:32 pm

Hi herin. I mostly lurk, that is when I do get to play

2:33 pm

The Bewildered aren't possessed, they're just adjusting to different standards of reality.

2:33 pm

huh? don't get the past tense...past tense of the sports event place?

I don't. It drives me nuts. Luckily he redeemed himself by bringing home a gift from a work supplier. :D (which he didn't have to do)

2:33 pm

no, two diferent ar6s, triflo

2:33 pm

Hi Met fan from another Met fan

2:33 pm

lady chanel!

No need to lurk Met

2:33 pm

a bull ar5 plurals to ar6

2:33 pm

i have officially been assimilated :)

2:33 pm

a gift? how lovely!

2:34 pm

hi, erica, glad t have you

2:34 pm

Congratulations erica!

2:34 pm

Hi bichon. I believe we've talked before, some time ago.

2:34 pm

thx.

2:34 pm

erica! looking PRO today!

2:34 pm

or, met do you mean 1st 2 ar6s - they are different by final vowel - weird/old/mysterious

2:34 pm

eh- yeah. looks can be deceiving.

Yes. Ata. He got a supplier a multi million dollar deal. They brought him Chanel for the lady (snort) of the house and Remy Martin for him

2:35 pm

Yes, Met fan. Did you have a Bichon at one time?

2:35 pm

bichon, welcome back

2:35 pm

Sometimes. herin, if I don't lurk, it takes forever to do a grid.

2:35 pm

Yes, a Bichon-poodle mix

2:35 pm

nice of them to think of ou at all, lady

HI ERICA welcome

2:35 pm

goodness me!

Hi Bichon

2:35 pm

thanks herin!

2:35 pm

I've been in and out. Trip to Costco and two dog walks

2:36 pm

LOVE COSTCO!!!!!

2:36 pm

my friend sally, a realtor, was kvetzing today about a lawyer she did a HUGE deal for, and he sent her a paltry $10 fruit assortment for a thank you. lovely

Trifs some companies don't know how to do business.

2:37 pm

Kvetzing as in complaining?

2:37 pm

yup

2:37 pm

costco is HELL! but wonderful

2:37 pm

trif- i work for attorneys. they are either generous or draining. no middle ground.

2:37 pm

wow, I am betting there was some excitement at costco today!

It does help that the supplier walked in at the right time when his company had bought out the entire state of supplies

2:38 pm

costco is the best - just don't like the lines at the end

2:38 pm

Costco's not so bad if you go on a weekday, early. If you time it right, you can eat their samples for lunch

2:38 pm

erica - do they handle domestic law, and are they in massachusetts, by any chance?

kvetching

2:38 pm

So many people at Costco near me have no manners when manipulating the aisles, they park DEAD CENTER so you can't get around them, but I love shopping there for the bargains!!!!

2:38 pm

Trif, why wa their excitement at Costco today? iT LOOKED PRETTY CALM TO ME

2:38 pm

Bichon, that makes me laugh, I must admit. You buy food that is hermetically sealed in six ways, just in case it has been tampered with, and then eat food a stranger hands you in the store.

2:39 pm

and their food is divine

2:39 pm

trif- sorry, pal. i am in ((TEXAS)). domestic- do you mean American or family?

2:39 pm

sorry for the caps, damned laptop

2:39 pm

They never sample-ize anything I'd put in my mouth!!

2:39 pm

family law. I need a shark of a divorce attorney, me thinks

2:39 pm

I had a sample of instant mashed potatoes that tasted like the real McCoy

2:40 pm

ew. i wouldn't work in that area if i was held at gunpoint.

Is Costco like Aldi?

2:40 pm

i think i draw the line at instant mashed potatoes

2:40 pm

Trif, did you mean kvetching as in complaining?

2:40 pm

So do I

2:40 pm

i can definitely check with some sources, trif.

2:40 pm

oh, I must admit, I was an instant spud holdout, and then the DH bought some and they were really good! Have used them in a few emergencies

2:40 pm

has it an other meaning, peri?

2:40 pm

yes, peri, why did I spell it wrong? that's normal, for me

2:41 pm

yes, you spelled it incorrectly but I knew what you meant

2:41 pm

with my luck it probably means "mother's vagina" or something....

2:41 pm

What is Aldi? herin, they are opening one in my town

2:41 pm

no other meaning that I am aware of

2:41 pm

no, lady. Costco is a warehouse store offering large sizes.

2:42 pm

Aldi is a deep-discount chain that is bare-bones, limited selection, and very cheap. They are affiliated with Trader Joes here in teh States.

2:42 pm

Costco is like BJ's

2:42 pm

herin - if you should need a 5-gallon container of mayo, Costco is your place

2:42 pm

don't like Aldi

and Sam's Club

2:42 pm

Oh cool! Someplace in Middletown that's interesting

2:42 pm

LOVE BJ'S TOO!!!

2:42 pm

Aldi's near me has mostly canned goods and some produce

and Big Lots

2:42 pm

i love trader joe's

2:42 pm

Aldi is not like Trader Joes, though you'll find some TJs proucts there

Aldi's in the USA is a lower end chain store

2:43 pm

did not realized that Aldis was associated with Trader Joe's. Love Trader Joe's

Trader Joe's is wonderful

2:43 pm

Don't have a Sam's on Lawn Guyland except far out east

2:43 pm

Esprit! THERE you are! Darling, how are you? I have been carrying you in my heart all day....

2:43 pm

It used to be that only Jewish people used Yiddish words. Now everyone knows them and it's confusing

Aldi is not associates with Trader Joe

hey all, just wanted to say that TJ's has zero affiliation with Aldi, they just happen to be owned by two German brothers, the Albrechts

2:43 pm

costoc and bjs are better than sams, i think

2:44 pm

hey hk, nice to see you

Hi Tri - I did not do it yesterday. My car wouldn't start and I interpreted it as a reprieve

2:44 pm

Every New Yawker speaks Yiddish as a second language....

2:44 pm

hi helenkeller

2:44 pm

clue please la5 the first one ;o)

BIChon www.aldi.com

one brother owns TJ's, the other owns Aldi - I'm guessing they are not much hurting for money :)

2:44 pm

<<shrirking like a complete babble idiot>> how do i add the flag?

heya peri!

2:44 pm

non jews don't have the right accent, for the most part

heya doren!

2:45 pm

hi, HK

2:45 pm

Or spelling

2:45 pm

Lots of Yiddish you need to sound like you're choking on phlegm....

IF you get a warehouse still Aldi its fairly OK but if its small its a little difficult. I shop there for most stuff as its cheaper than Coles or Woolies.

2:45 pm

1st la5 double vovel, like a man's name

2:45 pm

55 left here and tired of this grid

hey dc!

size not still

2:46 pm

i watched a special on Luciano Pavarotti the other day and they interviewed Renata Scotto

2:47 pm

Wish I had seen it Dorens

2:47 pm

does anyone know if nrkii had her surgery yet?

i have always been so sad to be tone-deaf

Yes she did Peri

: )))

2:47 pm

thanks dc

2:47 pm

i'm not a fan of aldi, but my sister likes it

2:47 pm

when?

2:47 pm

I sent her a message on Facebook asking when and she did not respond to me

2:47 pm

peri, I think she mentioned that she is recovering, so that means that she is through it.

2:47 pm

th 5/6 combo?

2:47 pm

the ANs are a PIA today

2:47 pm

it was on pbs bichon.. maybe it will be repeated this week??

can't stand to shop at Aldi, feels like I am in a third world country

2:48 pm

just finished them, dc, what do you need.

2:48 pm

exactly, HK

2:48 pm

never been there, but love tj's

2:48 pm

I am in the ar words at the moment

2:48 pm

yes, she has. it din't go brilliantly, but it went ok

2:48 pm

i'm dwn to 4, i'll keep looking for the moment, ty peri,but i'll let you know

Bichon: http://www.simplesavings.com.au/ This website not only rocks it has a handy what is good at aldi (well aus food so i don't know if its the same)

2:48 pm

nrkii's surgery

2:48 pm

th5 - definite article, follow with first letters of LA's state.

2:48 pm

thanks for the update, folks

2:48 pm

say hk. you live in illinois, right? what do you think about your governor?

i am working at TJ's now, that's partly why I haven't been chatting much, very physical, but very fun

2:49 pm

th6 - continues along the same theme.

HK I understand what you are saying but what do you mean?

I bet his day was ruined this morning

2:49 pm

PBS will be running a special on Roy Orbison soon - probably for a fund campaign.\

doren - i was thinking this is like our 5th governor now to get arrested/jailed, seriously something wrong with the politics here :(

2:49 pm

i've always wondered abou tthem... the folks who work there seem like they're at a party, at least at my local tj's they do...how do they manage to keep y'all so happy?

2:49 pm

Goodmorning everyone. Nice to see you Hellen K!

2:50 pm

they seem likea good place to work, HK

2:50 pm

hi, lynxxx

2:50 pm

Hi lynxxx - long time!!

2:50 pm

that is what they say about new jersey politics

Hi Lynxx

2:50 pm

the folks are the TJ"s near me are always pretty happy too

2:50 pm

55 left! bbl!

2:50 pm

hi lynxxxx

2:50 pm

hasta, harry

2:50 pm

ty Haz for the th

DC can i speak to you on yahoo please?

herin - aldis is so bare bones, no selection, doesn't seem to be much value place on quality products, that's what i meant by third world

2:50 pm

You're welcome, bichon.

OH OK. Ours is full of stuff. Tis great

yep - at the tj's training, they stress the happy, they want people to feel like this is their old-time corner grocery store - i think they weed out the sad-saps

also, they give great benefits for part-time work, bc/bs ppo, dental, vision, retirement plan + 10% discount on shopping

I have to give them credit for their training then, because my expriences at TJ's are always nice

2:52 pm

ty herin for the link to

2:52 pm

wow those are great benefits for pt

2:52 pm

Haz it's good to see you :-)

2:52 pm

Aldis

2:52 pm

it certainly works.. it does make us want to come back often, aside from the nice food

heya lynxxxxy!

2:52 pm

evening again

2:53 pm

Hello Katie!

2:53 pm

hi Katie

2:53 pm

hello there Haz...have you been away ?

2:53 pm

hi katie

peri - & that's why I'm working there! :)

BIchon. I love simplesavings. Its free and gives out good advice

2:53 pm

she's been Bewildered

2:53 pm

I missed you :-) how has your weather been?

2:53 pm

and 'Hello' to everyone else !

anyone like to part with some clues for the 8s?

Helen that does sound like a nice place to work.

2:54 pm

Has she ?....was it good ?

2:54 pm

I like Cheapskate.com

2:54 pm

it is free too

2:54 pm

Hello Karys. Choose which you think most likely. (a) helping George Clooney learn his lines (B) giving a masterclass in free sewing (c) undergoing therapy for 'non reality' issues.

and now i must run to shower & be off to TJ's - have a great day everyone! So nice to see you all again!

2:54 pm

be well, HK, nice to see you

2:54 pm

enjoy helen

2:54 pm

I live in bewildered and it's not all is cracked up to be

2:54 pm

Bye Helen

2:55 pm

bye Helen

2:55 pm

errm... none of those seems to fit my perception of the Haz I know and love !

2:55 pm

Esprit - ch8 is a fuel or an artistic medium and ca8/45 are yellow birds or Spanish islands.

2:56 pm

and those two c/8 's I have !!!

2:56 pm

No, the thought of me needing therapy for not being able to recognise reality is especially ridiculous, isn't it?

ty haz

2:56 pm

well, in this concept.....perhaps not !!!

2:56 pm

ca8/50 - first three letters of LA's state, American tin, two vowels at the beginning of a compass direction.

2:56 pm

tr 6/18?

2:56 pm

Lol Haz pity the poor therapist

2:56 pm

The second ca8/50 is the same, save for the last vowel which is changed.

ty again haz

2:57 pm

firewords

2:57 pm

You're welcome, Esprit.

2:57 pm

yay for dc

2:57 pm

Congratulations dc!

2:57 pm

congrats dc!

2:57 pm

yay dc

2:57 pm

Congrats DC!

2:57 pm

I know, Katie. I knew things were going badly when she asked to lie down.

2:57 pm

ty..for that one Haz

2:58 pm

You're welcome, Karys.

2:58 pm

congrats dc

2:58 pm

tr 6?

2:58 pm

ty, tough one today

2:58 pm

I've been to therapy, hated the woman and was like a toddler throwing tantrums before I had to go but she was actually an angel and really helped :-)

2:58 pm

and the other one now (silly word )

2:59 pm

TY Haz - no wonder I coiuldn't monkey those ca8

2:59 pm

It would be a very inventive monkey to come up with them, lynxxx, you're right.

3:00 pm

two columns gray and 44 left, bbs

3:00 pm

snarl

3:00 pm

play nicely now Karys

3:00 pm

doesn't anyone have the tr6?

3:00 pm

oh dear....sorry...knew I had done it...too late !!!

3:00 pm

tr6 - tr, then an anagram of a mathematics word, sounds like sign.

Hi anyone i missed

3:01 pm

Or, three letters for three, then three initials for compass directions (exclude west)

3:01 pm

I did it earlier Karys, there is just no stopping it once you have hit that return

3:01 pm

going to watch 'Survivors' now....(til I get bored, see you in about 15 mins !)

3:02 pm

See you later, Karys.

3:02 pm

drat, gotta poof - secondo needs help with the fish tank....

3:02 pm

thanks for the tr clue Haz

3:03 pm

You're welcome, Katie.

3:03 pm

3:10 pm

When are the folks home Katie?? Is it next Monday??

3:11 pm

Yep next monday norma, I have heard from them and they are having a good time but it sounds like the weather has been a bit cloudy

3:11 pm

I bet it is a bit warmer than here though lol

Best wishes with that Katie. (I just booted my self)

3:12 pm

Good Luck at work ... let me know how you get on

I am waiting for the cat to fall off her pillow

3:13 pm

Thanks herin & norma, interviews next Monday so will let you know, at least I only have three days left at work after that before I go away and I'm only in the office for one day if I don't get it and have to put on a brave face :-)

3:14 pm

3:17 pm

hi Vi!

3:18 pm

Hi Vi

3:19 pm

Good luck on promotion, Katie.

3:20 pm

thanks vic, I'm just hoping if I don't get it I can be adult about it :-)

3:20 pm

Well, if you can't be adult about it, at least you can be a well-mannered child.

3:21 pm

We get told on Monday and I don't have to go back into the office until Thursday so hopefully I will have got my acting skill in place by then

3:21 pm

After that I can go to the Maldives to recover!!

3:22 pm

I'm sure you can handle anything, Katie! And with any luck no acting will be necessary - unless to hide the excess glee.

3:23 pm

blooming heck. evil net keeps dying

3:23 pm

Hello, again, Ata!

3:23 pm

Did I see that you have a not-secret-enough admirer?

3:23 pm

hi Ata

3:23 pm

Hi Ata :-)

3:24 pm

hi again Vi dear!

HI vic

3:24 pm

I had to go vic, who was it?

3:24 pm

Hello, herinfernal.

3:24 pm

3:25 pm

As long as there is distance between you, worth getting a kick out of!

3:26 pm

I just saw them asking you to figure out the name

3:26 pm

Evening all - hows it going - grid is interesting tonight

3:26 pm

I wasn't there, either, Katie, just saw the log.

KAtie my cat is a garfield

3:27 pm

it's good for smugness :P

3:27 pm

Ok well it's not what I saw, what time was it?

Hi Kazz. Im ignoring the grid in the hope it does it itself

3:28 pm

why garfield herin?

3:28 pm

Ata, for goodness sake, don't tease poor Katie! Spill the beans again!

3:28 pm

oh! LOL

Because shes a fatty

3:28 pm

someone I used to know about 15 years ago has dumped his girlfriend after talking to me on facebook because he never got over me *sigh*

3:29 pm

Crumble can join her herin

Have a look at my flicr

3:29 pm

what a femme fatale!

3:29 pm

OMG i'm feeling slightly sick!!! Smugness in overdrive!!! Did he tell you when his midlife crisis started ;-)

3:30 pm

I got mixed up I though vi was the one with a secret admirer when someone you knew was asking you to work out their name earlier

3:30 pm

lol no. he just loooooooves me LOL

Ata stop breaking mens hearts

3:30 pm

Heh. All my myriad secret admirers must stil be just that -- secret.

3:30 pm

herin - i wish the grid would do itself as well - 45 left and running out of steam

3:31 pm

before you know it he will be sending you electronic love he**** :-)

3:31 pm

i had a secret admirer once but i think my mum scared him off

3:32 pm

One of my facebook friends has something going with someone in Holland and he keeps sending really sickly stuff to her, I wonder if he knows we can all see them

3:32 pm

Lol Kazz

Kazz I dont think this will make you feel better I ahve found 1 word in 2 hours

3:32 pm

i just got another one

3:32 pm

nooooo! how funny!

3:32 pm

word that is not secret admirer

3:32 pm

I have never had a secret admirer, knowing my luck I would skip that and go straight to stalker

3:33 pm

there is a thin line between the two

3:33 pm

Katie, you silly, maybe you have... but it was a secret! =P

My ex dumped me and went to stalker until i took him to court.

3:33 pm

Ata, what did you say when he told you?

3:33 pm

I've had the stalker thing, hopefully this one will just swoon from afar!

3:34 pm

.....and electronically Ata, at least you can block him on facebook if he annoys you

3:34 pm

Why'd he dump you if he couldn't stay away?

3:35 pm

exactly, katie :)

3:35 pm

they never know what they have got until they throw it away!

3:35 pm

anyone got the first la 5 please

hey everybody

HI Jac

3:36 pm

Hi jacq

3:36 pm

la5 la + the little mermaid's name is ***el

3:37 pm

la uses double vowel and sounds like one of the 3 Stooges

Vic because he is an idiot and thought he could get away with it but i has the smarts

3:37 pm

hello again...

3:37 pm

34, going to the list cos I've had a glass of wine and I can't think anymore!

3:38 pm

*plies atalante with hogshead of wine*

3:38 pm

hi Stid! how did Friday go?

3:38 pm

*falls over*

3:38 pm

ty fir that lynxxx

3:39 pm

it went really well lynxxx! thanks for asking! Tom set up the technology for me, and the presentation was well received.

3:39 pm

excellent!

Hi Stid

3:39 pm

well, I think I don't need wine to need the list. 62 when I left a couple hours ago and still at 62...

3:40 pm

:-D yes. and in a couple hours I go back to the college to have my evaluation conference. The college doesn't give letter grades, the teachers actually evaluate the students (rather like a job performance eval).

3:40 pm

I didn't even see the sc until I got the list out

3:40 pm

thanks for the la clues

3:40 pm

I think it will go okay, but you know... always a few butterflies!

3:40 pm

you'll be brillant!

3:41 pm

Go, stidmama, go! BReak a leg, and all that!

Best wishes Stid YOU ROCK

3:41 pm

I'm sure you will be fine stid :-)

3:41 pm

thanks lady! and vi! and ata! and lynxxx! :-D

3:41 pm

god luck mama

3:41 pm

good luck too

3:41 pm

You will sail through Stid I am sure, you impress us all here - but good luck anyway!

3:41 pm

sorry had a couple of vodka's

3:42 pm

you know, you babble buds helped me SO MUCH this quarter... you will never know. *considers how much a lifetime supply of choclit for each babbler would cost*

3:42 pm

lol join the inebriated club jacq

3:42 pm

*finishes calculation, faints and goes to get coffee*

3:42 pm

at least you can spell inebriateed

3:42 pm

thanks also jac! :-D

3:42 pm

lol

3:42 pm

It would take a LOT of chocolate to be a lifetime supply for this crew, stidmama.

3:43 pm

yeah, that was quite good, wasn't it!

3:43 pm

I'm not sure there's that much chocolate in the universe.

3:43 pm

they don't produce enough we would need installments

3:43 pm

I can spell gin!!!! and tonic, with ice and lemon :-)

3:43 pm

LOL vi!

3:43 pm

and your company is all we require

3:44 pm

oh gee, katie! *blush* *shuffle feet* shucks...

3:44 pm

Can't believe I just turned down chocolate *shaking head sadly*

3:45 pm

I can spell floccinaucinihilipilification. Which always impresses the people who have been spelling too much gin.

3:45 pm

I can copy adn paste it!

3:45 pm

spelling too much gin LOL

3:45 pm

If you are attempting to imply anything, Ms Atalante, I'll have you know I spelled that fair and square.

3:46 pm

LOL vi! does it actually mean something, though? I know floccination... or is it flocculation? perhaps flagellation... *sigh*

3:46 pm

Katie!!!! now we all have t say that and i'm too poor to buy my own chocolate

MMM gin and elderflower and soda

3:46 pm

flagelating a dead equine

3:46 pm

need the first AN 7 please?

3:46 pm

mmhmmm I believe you

3:46 pm

vic you have got to be careful about those ifications they can really hurt

3:47 pm

It means treating something as of no importance. As in, "I resent your floccinaucinihilipilification of my spelling ability."

3:47 pm

Of course "belittling" works just about as well, but where's the fun in that?

3:47 pm

stick most of the word fro a group of one more than two on to the an4 before it

3:47 pm

a stupid stupid word stid, more of the 4 above, honestly!!

3:47 pm

an7 put a prefix for 3 on the end of an4.4

3:47 pm

lol Vic

3:47 pm

thanks jacq

3:47 pm

why use a simple word when a more complicated one will do

3:48 pm

it was longwinded and flowery but whatthe hey

3:48 pm

aha! got it!

3:48 pm

Exactamundo, Ata.

3:48 pm

one more A word and 46 others...

3:48 pm

Ata , do you write instruction manuals by any chance?

3:48 pm

how about the first la5. i am lost. thanks

3:48 pm

I could do!

3:48 pm

you could have a role in government with long words like that Vi we like people not to understand us ;-)

3:49 pm

lol

3:49 pm

lol Katie

3:49 pm

it was clued a wee while ago Joey

3:49 pm

when I grow up, I will be able to USE big words... (maybe)

3:49 pm

*going into Sir Mix-a-lot mode* I like big words and I cannot lie...

3:49 pm

i am sorry, i just got one

3:49 pm

on

3:49 pm

You other Babblers can't deny...

3:50 pm

awww sily claws is here

3:50 pm

oh dear, FIRST AR 6 please?

3:50 pm

hello joey!

3:50 pm

my favourite new one is worklessness, it's not been around that long and always makes me laugh

3:50 pm

la5 l & double vowel & engagement **ng

3:50 pm

hi

3:50 pm

obviously we don't use unemployed anymore

3:50 pm

I could do with some worklessness....

3:51 pm

i suffer from worklessness

3:51 pm

but first I need the education so I can be workless in a field I enjoy...

3:51 pm

Worklessness seems to me that it would in reality be quite different from unemployment.

3:51 pm

is the second CA 8 similar to the first?

3:51 pm

nods, worklessness is more hopeless

3:51 pm

yes mama, change last vowel

3:51 pm

My first ar6 is past tense of ar5, but I make no guarantees.

3:51 pm

change the last vowel Stid

3:52 pm

seriously we had a 'leaders for change' event on 'worklessness' - comments flew about the attendees on that one

3:52 pm

oh piffle. italian/latin plural. poo.

3:52 pm

thanks lynxxx and jac

3:52 pm

Well, when you're unemployed you may still have no shortage of work -- family, looking for job, dealing with house repairs, etc...

3:52 pm

unemployment is the inability to find any or suitable employment, worklessness is what we're approaching where employers are tightening belts and not employing, no jobs

3:53 pm

worklessness is the description given to those who have had generations without a job as they have never been employed to be unemployed. in some communities there is no expectation that you will ever work

3:53 pm

firebirdlessness!

Yah Ata

3:53 pm

lol

3:53 pm

oh! there was a BBC article a day or two ago on that...

3:53 pm

congrats ata

3:53 pm

I'm unemployed, because no one pays me to do a job, but I'm far from workless.

3:53 pm

LOL atalante... you and me BOTH!

3:53 pm

how about the third CA 8? I have the 6 that precedes

3:53 pm

Congrats Ata!

3:54 pm

Yellow birds Stid

3:54 pm

there's a series going on, stid. on my LJ is a link to an interesting one - jobless because of mental illness

3:54 pm

the third is a group of islands popular with those holidaying in spain

3:54 pm

Ahh, I get it Katie. Well, that makes more sense. I thought it was being used merely as a pointless synonym.

3:54 pm

my grandfather always says that he is not UNemployed. He is always employed (doing something) -- just doesn't get paid for it...

3:54 pm

I think it was at first and then they found something to attach it to :-)

3:55 pm

yello birds... singing birds?

3:55 pm

YES! my budgie thinks he's one of those...

3:55 pm

used in mines

3:55 pm

ones who went down the mines to check for gas

3:55 pm

actually my son's budgie... but he's BLEU, not yellow *grin*

3:55 pm

Yeah, I always think it's funny when people ask me if I work. I always reply, "Yes, but no one pays me for it."

3:55 pm

thanks grant!

3:55 pm

Admittedly I try to work as little as possible...

nor why do cats have to curl their feet over their face and do very cute

3:55 pm

glad to help

3:56 pm

ahhh. *imaginging cute cats*

3:56 pm

My worklessness has reduced since they banned babble at work!

I think house wives and mums are the most underpaid workers

3:56 pm

... Except that work that can be mistaken for play...

3:56 pm

they get paid in love herin

3:56 pm

lol Katie

*stickyurl*

3:56 pm

CH 6 please?

3:57 pm

... And I do get generous room and board! =D

3:57 pm

love?? it's not enough!!!

3:57 pm

with some chocolate thrown in?

3:57 pm

tr6,plz

3:57 pm

Yep! Occasional chocolate when I'm good! ;)

3:57 pm

I wouldn't mind at least getting credit toward retirement katie... you know by the time I finish my master's and get back to work it will have been 18 years since my "work" counted for retirement?

3:58 pm

the tr 6/18 I have is latin "three" + first three letters of nutrition drink ***ure

3:58 pm

I know, they keep talking about recognising it but truth be told I don't think they can afford it

3:58 pm

mama, doesn't being a stay at home mum give you credits?

3:59 pm

tr6/18 - prefix for 3 + Several Big parliamentary clocks minus B

3:59 pm

it does here, if you recieve benefits for children, like tax credits, you are awarded national insurance credits at the highest rate, to protect your pension

3:59 pm

no jacq, it doesn't. I used to have sufficient credits with social security to get benefits if I got injured or reached retirement age, I now need to work for ten years to regain those

3:59 pm

are you jacq, I didn't know!

3:59 pm

Intriguing, jacq!

3:59 pm

I don't live in Canada though, just anticipating my visit with Jillibus later this month

thank yuo i was needing that

4:00 pm

that was a great clue Vic....but I don't understand it.

4:00 pm

the United States is not truly family friendly, despite the rhetoric from the right-wingers

4:00 pm

but staying at home trying to earn a living as an artist gives you no NI credit at all!

4:00 pm

yes katie, and if you are a carer, getting carers allownace you get the same benefit

4:00 pm

true Ata, but after you snuff it your work will be priceless

4:00 pm

*noting once again that "rhetoric" and b***s*** have the same number of letters*

4:01 pm

yeah, great for when I starve to death as a pensioner!

4:01 pm

Right I'm off to bed, i'm getting up at 6am to leave the house by 7am and get to work at 8am, it means I can leave earlier but no more midnight stints on babble for me :-) See you all tomorrow :-)

4:01 pm

night katie dear!

4:01 pm

sweet dreams katie! (((hugs))) nice to talk with you for a change!

4:01 pm

4:03 pm

4:03 pm

4:03 pm

thanks, Peri

4:54 pm

hello again - how pathetic am I!!! I a m now at the public library, playing on my laptop, so I can hide from the dreaded husband, who is picking up the kids for dinner. I could NEVER have imagine my life getting this.....sad

4:55 pm

yw, phan

4:55 pm

why are you hiding, Trif?

4:55 pm

30

4:56 pm

don 't want to see him, don't want to have to talk to him

TRifs be civil to him even if he is a twant

4:56 pm

I understand now, Trif

4:57 pm

I know, herin, but I just can't manage it right now, and don't want a row in front of the kids. So, having nothing good to say, I am saying nothing at all

Fair enough

4:58 pm

I think I might go see "australia" later - is it supposed to be a tear jerker, or just a good old fashioned romanitc epic? could handle the latter....

NO idea sorry

4:59 pm

well I can prove one thing definitively already - sitting in a library full of books does NOTHING to improve my ability at this game....sigh

5:00 pm

I'm thinking maybe I just need to reinstall Expert just to get it up and running properly again.....

5:00 pm

I never have caught how to jerk a tear

5:00 pm

what is expert?

Trifs im laying down and i still don'[t see it

5:01 pm

hello, i have a culinary chemistry question if anyone has expertise in that area....

5:01 pm

ohhhh, babble, rent "terms of endearment" or "dark victory" and you will learn, my padawan

Yes Harp I may be able to help

5:01 pm

don't laugh, infernal, ok?

5:01 pm

mm, I have not been able to use Babble expert in many months, even when lickety sent me the latest version a while ago

5:02 pm

I just use licketys 2 letter list, tedious but I do get to finish

Not going to

Triffs its a program that Lickety designed its a combination of this and his list (which is at the bottom)

5:04 pm

ok, here goes.... would it be possible to make a gelitan (jello) dish using beer in place of some liquid? or would the alcohol in the beer keep it from setting?

5:05 pm

I don't think that would work, harp, I do think the alcohol would affect the setting

5:05 pm

why would you want to use beer anyway?

5:05 pm

okay, I know I have to go in the PB for this, but I can't resist: one of the w4s today reminds me of that BRILLIANT contest the Washington Post runs every year, where they invite people to take a w4, change one letter, and give a new definition. A couple of years ago the winning entry was my all-time favorite: reintarnation = when you die and come back as a hillbilly

5:06 pm

hello all

5:06 pm

You need to get a hobby my dear!! lol

5:06 pm

be nice, knitter, its been a sh4 week

5:06 pm

who needs a hobby, me or trifoso?

5:06 pm

she means me

5:07 pm

sorry but you well know that being nice is not in my make up

5:07 pm

harp, I have heard of jello shots, not sure what alcohol they use but thinks it's clear

5:07 pm

we have a gallon of beer left over from a party and I'm sick of drinking it, so i'm looking for ideas

5:07 pm

beer batter chicken! fabulous stuff

5:07 pm

beer batter some fish or o-rings

5:07 pm

lol

5:07 pm

think they use vodka in the jello shots but not sure

5:07 pm

I just use random pecking, although I have found more success when I put the first letter in the first slot

5:07 pm

or use the beer on your hair

5:07 pm

cook with it. We make pot roast with Beer all the time

5:07 pm

harp its really good in chili lol

beer bread

5:07 pm

beer is great to roast a brisket in

5:07 pm

aknitter I am hopeless tries knitting again last night made a mistake now have to wait till I see my sister again don't know if I am cut out for this

5:07 pm

I was thinking of lime-sauerkraut jello to go with pork chops...

seran

5:08 pm

i like peri's idea....and knitter's brisket

5:08 pm

I use a beer in all the pork roasts I make

5:08 pm

roasted a brisket in beer last night, pork chops in beer tomorrow night, making bread with beer today.... you get the idea

oops.

5:08 pm

speed you can do it ..... just keep trying you can solv e a 300 word grid you can do anything

rant

5:09 pm

sounds like you might need to have another party. or give it to the local food pantry - bet they don't get beer often

5:09 pm

sounds like harp will soon need an AA membership

5:09 pm

a food pantry donation? i like that idea

5:09 pm

well it's getting staler by the minute

5:09 pm

I would have had a party to get rid of it...

5:10 pm

give the beer to the homless?

5:10 pm

but I'm sure that's what it's leftover from..

5:10 pm

give it to the local rummies - at least you know they will make good use of it....i know, i know.....I am going to hell. I will save seats

HARp i don't know.

5:10 pm

oooh! looks like I am sitting next to peri when I get there :0 :) :)

5:10 pm

hey, Trif, great minds

5:11 pm

save a seat for me please

5:11 pm

lol

5:11 pm

have a bro-in-law in tenn. that will drink anything

5:11 pm

I'll try it, just for the hell of it! why not

5:11 pm

i already have a seat on concorde lol...hi all

5:11 pm

you already have a seat on the family couch. We are all going to need it

but i know that if you get a can of bear and open it and stick it up a roast chooks butt on one of those up right rotisseries works really well.

5:11 pm

sounds rather uncomfortable

5:12 pm

oh, knitter - fee rae saw the ent yesterday - no von willenbrands, yay!

5:12 pm

well infernal, a bear up anyone's butt sounds unpleasant!

5:12 pm

5:27 pm

LOL

Speed did you get my message?

5:27 pm

about the chook (yes I did) thanks

5:27 pm

okay - according to the reseach librarian, you CAN use alcohol of any kind with jello, but use 20% less of it than you would if it was water, and it will take longer to set, and not set as firmly as with just water. It has something to do with the interaction of alcohol and the sugar in the jello. So. Now we know.

5:27 pm

maybe thats why I sometimes feel all alone here!

Wow. HI MAMAM

5:28 pm

Tri that will also make the papers in town local women just cooking with beer

5:28 pm

9:53 pm

Y'all are AWESOME! Just one more, ra4-5 the 1st please. I know this sounds silly, but I almost hate to get to the last one because I enjoy the Chatterbox.

jmc, we do try to take people's preferences for what they're called into account. we have another newbie who told me what she preferred, but refuses to speak up and tell anybody else :P

9:53 pm

BRB...I'm going to play with Napster a bit...just subscribed last night!

I accidentally hit on her preference, and was thanked (I think it's she)

9:54 pm

well there you go. some people have a hard time jumping into this bubbly crowd

ra4/5 there are several, peach

9:54 pm

ra4= the tortoise and the hare ran a ra**?

there's also ra + not here but **ere

oops, I didn't mean to give the clue that way :P

9:56 pm

Got it. Bless all of you and your loved ones. See you tomorrow.

yay, peach, and gn

we had a cloudburst here about an hour ago, complete with lightning that lit up everything

9:57 pm

was the lighting fun to watch

fortunately, I had *just* finished the grid and was uploading. I left it on long enough to finish that, and then turned the PC off

no, jmc. it was scary. the thunder was extremely loud, and the lightning didn't just light up the sky; it lit up the ground

9:58 pm

ta6 clue? please

rain was coming down like the proverbial pitchforks

9:59 pm

that does sound scary. Mother always told the story where she was in the cradle and my aunt picked her up during a thunderstorm and the next second a bolt of lighting came down the chimney and fried the cradle.

ta6: sounds like a kid pitching a fit (vowel ending)

oh, my! did it scare you to hear it when you were little?

10:00 pm

ty Tyger

10:00 pm

yw, DR

10:00 pm

Hi Trif

10:07 pm

10:13 pm

if it makes you feel better, i have one t word left, and it's a 4, and i can't get it for the life of me. This grid is a bi%

10:13 pm

sorry - bi5. oh, it's a bitch, already!

10:14 pm

I agree, Trif!

10:15 pm

Listening to No Doubt, Oi to the World...

10:16 pm

10:17 pm

Hi Babblers, I'm back to finish - can anyone please help with the first ar's? Haven't been able to monkey them. Thanx.

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

Good for you, Trif!

10:17 pm

HI Met- long time no see

10:18 pm

10:18 pm

ar + Candy **** (Christmas candy)

10:18 pm

hi metfan no help here I only have one ar myself

10:18 pm

Hi DR - how you been?

10:18 pm

10:26 pm

Oh, I get it - it's a fish...[[DUH]]

10:26 pm

ty trif I didn't have the ar4 :-)

10:27 pm

i did something I am so ashamed of....i got so frustrated I used one of those sites that basically hands you the words. (hangs head.....)

10:28 pm

don't worry Trif...you"ll do it again! :)

10:28 pm

yes, in about five seconds

10:28 pm

I did that today as well...

10:28 pm

is it fairly common amongst babblers, do you think?

10:29 pm

I think it is more common than you think

10:29 pm

Oh, yes, Trif...

10:29 pm

it just feels so much better when monkeying works, though, doesn't it?

10:29 pm

well since you can click a link from lickety . . . I am guessing yes

10:30 pm

Yes, monkeying is more satisfying, but using word lists beats tearing one's hair out!

10:31 pm

I'm looking for the ch8, before the map word ch5..

10:31 pm

pav = fire up the barbeque....

Hello...is there a question about jello?

11:21 pm

hey there car - jane has a huge amount of leftover beer from a party, and wants to know if you can make jello shots with beer

11:21 pm

Bill Cosby here?

11:22 pm

or just beer jello, using beer instead of water

11:22 pm

ewwwwwwwwwwww

11:22 pm

Good grief! I wouldn't! I think the foam/bubbles in the beer will breakdown the consistency of the Jello and it will probably never "set".

11:22 pm

hi car, I used a lot of it today in bread, used beer instead of liquid....

11:22 pm

back

11:23 pm

I can't stand the pressure, I will try it tomorrow and let you know!

11:23 pm

tell her to get rid of snails in the garden with it..

Or invite a Fraternity over for dinner

11:23 pm

i told her to give to the homeless rummies on the corner. at least they will appreciate it

11:23 pm

Not to mention, I really don't think it would taste very good. What flavor Jello are we talking about? I can maybe see lime with beer...maybe a cherry with a wheat beer...

11:24 pm

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

11:24 pm

Ummm...Jane where are you? I can be a homeless rummy!

11:24 pm

lemon or lime, with saurkraut!

11:24 pm

funny, she was thinking lime! way to go!

11:24 pm

saurkraut and sausage! Yum!!!

11:24 pm

Ok, so have you tried the beer in the jello process yet?

11:25 pm

I am watching one of our alltime favorite movies...PeeWee's Big Adventure!...and trying to play this game at the same time!

11:25 pm

11:38 pm

Today some skiers went up in icy conditions and located their golden retriever, still waiting on the spot where they had fallen.

11:38 pm

800 feet? I am surprised they lived to make a call. and I am so glad someone found the dog!

11:50 pm

Yay, Trif!!!!

11:50 pm

yay, trif

11:50 pm

only ten minutes to the flip, might as well hang around....

11:50 pm

11:51 pm

herin, I didn't know that newts were bright crimson

11:51 pm

Pretty empty

11:51 pm

LOL, trif

11:51 pm

just rather quiet, I think...

11:51 pm

ty, jellen. I thought so

11:52 pm

quiet because ruru & kje aren't here :P

11:52 pm

and a couple of others, maybe :D

11:52 pm

Quite true, tyger!

11:52 pm

11:53 pm

I wonder if they're both such teases IRL

11:53 pm

sounds good, jellen

11:54 pm

if it weren't so late, I think I'd do the same. I just got myself a 2 CD set of Messiah - but I've gotta have the volume up on it. I have another set *somewhere*, but where? I dunno

11:55 pm

there are parts that are quiet enough to require volume - but then they get into the loud parts

11:55 pm
