hey, peeps. how long did it take before a grid went up? I gave up after a couple of reloads
OK, we seem to have 172 words and stats now -- refresh if you don't see them

I have 11 words
It took 25min but it got fixed thank you DR G
i have 63
probably, josh -- well done anyway -- I'm just envious!
JOSH woow

hey, it's my last puzzle for a long time so i might as well get a head start, i guess
ty Dr God - saved us all withdrawal probs....
yes he did
23 words?
zips in and settles down.
JOsh were are you going to not have babble?
*thanking Dr G for all his greatness*
is muse here? hi jill! hi all!
i am leaving the country and traveling around for the holidays
eek! this one looks a little tough...
YAH where yo going?
*eyes grid suspisciously*
stid 23 words??
why are you leaving the country joshua? and why would you go someplace where babble isn't?
*bewildered mama look*
LOL, stiddie
i am going to turkey, UAE, egypt, possibly greece
mlf, there are 172 words -- Lickety isn't up yet and it's a glitch
Nice (I would avoid greece at this very moment
yeah, i am keeping my eye on it for sure
herin's got a point
hi all, insomnia again, and then serious agita when the grid was broken....better now, but still not sleepy
hi stid
ohhh ok thanks jill thought something weird was going on
*worried mama look* those are kinda dangerous places, joshua...
more son then what we already experienced
HI Trifs. Do i need to sing you a lalaby?
hence the 'possibly'
*waves magic sleepy wand at trifioso*
they're not that dangerous, stid
ok, while Dr God worked feverishly to reset our grid, I found this fascinating story about my photo ...you can read it in my profile...enjoy! BTW, Hi all!
I have heard Turkey is fantastic if you don't act like a tool and more like a local
herin -- such a pretty newt
with the obvious exception of greece at the moment
Thank you Jill. I didn't find eye of newt jar though (read profile)
hey pav
well, that is okay then... I hope you will have fun!
y's done
i am very excited
hey Stid...best wishes for a safe travel and return Josh...
go ruru go!
I am taking a stidkid north to visit Jill later this month for a couple days, but will stay in a place that has internet access...
Pav -- just read your profile -- what a story!
PAV that is funny. Im sorry but suck it up. Proper mantience on the ditch and this wouldn't happen
yay - we're in
HI HUGGS
need a C where the N is and then I would have "cashew"
q's done
(((hugs))) welcome "home"
go mixi go!
herin, I did read your profile -- don't know what eye of newt jar is
I like animals more than most of the human species.
Eye of Newt jar is a jar with Eyes of NEwt
stid -- fyi -- my gang is coming here for Xmas -- will email you later
and this, lady, is news because.... ?
ooooh! okay jill *curious mama look*
anybody find any big words yet??
me on humans? news? Because we take over the animals habitat and its nice when animals get their own back
I found a couple 6s
i have 7 6's but no 7's
I have 4 6's
stid, it just leaves me a bit freer for post-Xmas dates
I like microbes better now than I did last thursday and friday... LOL
*gasp* did you do that just because of us jill? *worried mama look*
yeah 6 is abotu all i got too for big words just curious seems a bit odd their isnt at least one so far
why, stiddie? I mean, I really enjoyed micro. I did years and years of it, but .... :)
Stamps feet. I want to see Jill
no, stid -- it was Dave's idea -- they will come here and the guys will cook dinner so us girls can take it easy -- niiice, yes?
2 7s, MLF - that's all, and those are the largest
well, i've got 100 but it's already slowing down a little bit
Josh you speed demon
thanks tyger
sa7
LOL herin!
well because tyger -- it was an AWFUL lot of hard work and for a while it seemed I might not make it.
goodness, what a lot of Ys
wow josh, good for you
yw, MLF
And now it looks like I got upper division credit for my first lab science class in 25 years... and the last was in high school.
I want Jill to write her stories
and yes, I know how much hard work is involved in learning to work with microbes
wow, kewl, stid
I wish jill would publish the lovely stories she has already written.
herin, I would if there were 48 hours in a day
yep. I worked m yvirtual tail off... too bad my real tail stayed firmly in place
hi everyone- my clues are screwed up--is it just me???
Refresh Rep
hey, teena
Lickety's clues are invalid so far
did that--says 23
i don't think the new clues are up yet
hi tyger- ok thanks!
oh, my. just realized that I'm nearly an hour late for snack & pills - and now I have hiccups
opps Tyger
oh tyger! go take care of your self!
may BBL. we'll see. right now, I just can't sit here. too uncomfortable
thx, stid, will do :)
Take care Tyger
bye tyger feel better
If Lickety has teed up the clues and babble updating at the same time and automatically he may be delayed as babble was late
Dr God had run out of puzzles
It happens
hello all, insomnia strikes again!
cannot see either of the i words
hi peri
hello peri *sets cup of oatstraw and chamomile tea in front of peri*
Hi Peri. Hands out the calming tea and lavender oil

I'm finding this very hard
thanks Lyn...found it!
oh! like the parents of your spouse, peri!
have 77 words, but slowing down
thanks lynxxx!
wow. not bad peri

I have tried that word several times and it is not accepted
seems to me like wawa works for some people..
Stid: Parents of spouse : ANNOYING that isn't in the grid
*grin* now now, lady!
i tried that too herin - i think it is usually hyphenated
it's a singular, not a plural, peri
I have 45
parents of spouse is in the grid but not accepted
what the are ok they are MILES away
109 here and flailing aw4 at that top t
I like them all when they are miles and miles away
singular not accepted either
still not getting the in5 but getting a headache looking for it
that is because its in - law
try again jill, your father's mother in your mother in5
in + not stand peri
don't look, just type...
lol - i just did a typo, and it was an accepted word!
thank you, ruru
oh.... *gasp* thanks ruru, I was cluing it wrong! *hangs head in shame*
so you mean something that sits inside something else Wood term
once I get the other i, I will have NBT and will go back to bed
how about the eye at the top?
night peri
oh peri -- it's "one thing" just it4
not yet, herin, need the top i
Hey yall! This is a noisy puzzle so far.
sheesh, thanks sti
Hi Frog
hi Frog!
got the in 5 but disagree that after the "in" it means "not stand" -- it means what a hen does. "Not stand" and "not sit" are like an untruth, correctly.
see you all later, going to try to get some sleep
I'm stuck on the 2 A's in the bottom row
Do you want a THING for your EYE?
FROGGY!!!! your son is getting SO BIG! the video of him walking was adorable... and your daughter's storyboard was GREAT!
sweet dreams peri
hi froggy
night peri (hope you can have a good lie-down)
any help on the A in the bottom left?
I just clued it
middle bottom a is "not never but" al5
t have it, stid
He's finally deciding that walking is perhaps more fun than crawling, so now he's getting fast at that, too. (He's a turbo crawler.)
???? is that so Just? and um... hm. *thinking*
Frog time for reinforced pants knees
*watching tadpole zip around the room* yep, takes after you, does he?
if they still make them, Sears Toughskins worked well...
as5.10 & an4.4 from bottom left
usually is said in plural but not this time
never needed them for mine, but my brother wore them out
thanks lynxxx and just *typing furiously*
I went through many a pair o' Toughskins as a wee one. :)
yep. Mother swore by them.
ahh, got the sa6/7
Stid - oops - not an4.4 but al4.5
bottom left a is not an4,4??
are you sure lynxxx? I have those from the middle A
thx for the sa6/7
We get most of their clothes from secondhand stores, because kids' clothes there are usually like new.
okay - sa7 from bottom left s
see my meesage @1.01
now I can say NBT
please reclue the bottom left a ...
That is true frog and they grow out of them so quick. I used to buy one or two sizes bigger for my ex's kid
naughty bits tingling!
Just, the only "not never" I can think of is "sometimes" which doesn't start with A
just found oi6 from monkeying
opp of never in singular stid
we do the secondhand stores also -- have to the way the one who is still growing works..
okay, *thinking again*
Why is the grid on Lickety's page with clues different from the grid we're playing with?
because Lickety hasn't loaded this grid to the browser yet aeb
Stid let me guess 'new '' uniform every half year?
falling asleep, goodnight all, may be back for a few in the morning but will be off island most of the day
ty Stid
so please....can someone reclue the bottom left a PLEASE
AHA! got it! but... it came from the middle bottom A
sweet dreams flosey!
al4/5
yes I said middle bottom a stid right at the beginning....
well, our children don't usually wear school uniforms lady -- but yes, new clothes practically every season
looking Just
aha! hugs! I got it! no blank tiles...
ANd past halfway.
I shall leave the rest for the morning.
oi6, eh?
I have for ever and ? and al4-4 2 vowels
sorry just, I am pretty worn out at the moment
how many words on this grid, plz
sheesh stid ....please clue the bottom left a for me (4th request)
extend the al4/5 to get al5/14
JUSt you want the A square with 4 words attached yes?
a collection of information(PL)
sorry that clue was /is for an4
yes herin
OK i have one
al not you but ??
ty ty ty herin
It is a shortened version of Egyptian dancing girl
OK im going to kill my neighbours kids
an7.36 is a little listless
ah, half way, now to bed!
herin, is that as in "going to kill them, brb"?
'Nite flosey!
I was but the mother got them under control. They were squealing so she did the very USELESS thing of ''would you stop that'' in a really pathetic voice instead of the way you do it to a dog, use a man's tone. Kids and dogs both listen to that.
night frog
thanks lyn... got both 7's now
yw Hugs
Oddly enough so do teenage boys
mi'Lady...I don't need to do that with mine...!!...not that they'd EVER misbehave...!
Hmm... Yeah, why is that?

Its a tone thing. More authoritative.
ahh, got the an7

Oh. Is this kids or dogs?
*which our fur kids in my world*
my poopies are my kids....
fur kids huh?
yep...I'll have to find an email sent to me explaining why pets are better...it was cute enough for me to save...I think....
I agree. No one complains if your pet gets a time out
It's my Mindy's b-day today - she's 4
i am gonna try to snooze. nite all!
Yah Hugs. Is this a kitty or a puppy
lol my niece calls her dogs (her babies) poopies too!
bye Trif
...and the best part is you can sell the poopies' babies legally...!
a puppy - she's a Westie and she gives us so many laughs
Nite Trif!
I'm sluggish tonight -- one BT -- any help for the uppermost E?
her poopies are spaed
hi 1mar -- just saw you!

hmmmm
ty Pav....I don't retire for the night until I have half of the grid done....now I have 97 words found.
My cat is about to get very cranky at me
65 left and pretty much well stalled
yes, ty hugs too -- same result, grey tile
I'm at 81 so far...
NBT but only 42 words
back, briefly. has anybody heard whether/when Lickety will be fixing the clue page?
I've got 37 left... but completely stalled
I take it lickety not up yet?
well im going to go do stuff like feed the kitty before she is more irritated
135 here
it is, just, but it's not right
oh? strange that...
it shows 23 words, and has the wrong grid
right, 1mar -- weird things happened at the flip -- DrG had run out of grids
yeah, well. didn't you notice the message at the top?
that is because they probably didn't sink up
I did
huh? run out of grids? how would you know that?
He told us
we don't. presumably Jamie does :)
1mar, DrG said so
[le poof}
Lickety would probably still be at work, or on way home. He automated his clue list...but if Babble wasn't there when that happened, his clue can't be either. You will just need to keep your fingers crossed that he bothers to look
oh good reason lol...didn't get here til about 2am eastern
he sets up a whole bunch of them, but this is the 2nd time this year that they ran out and he didn't notice immediately
well .... nytol
oh my never knew that but then again I think I've just celebrated my 1st year at babble
nite Tyger
nyt, tyger
I've always thought Dr. God was female?

hi gran, no something is seriously wrong with the lickety list today.
sprite, someone said earlier it's cuz drg ran out of grids tonight
how careless of him!
LOL... he sure fixed it quickly
that is true, in time for us to play
fighting fit and ready to drop. work is crazy at the mo'. everyone seems to want their particular bit of surgery done now, just before chrissy. otherwise, quite well. ankle is holding up very well. found some orthopaedic clogs, made in switerland, and they are just great.
I can help with the 2nd letter clues for the A words, anybody who doesn't want me to though?
I think they said it was goofy for 25 min... so not sure if we will get lickety
spritey , stay, sit.
congrats on the clogs granny!!
that is great, rose! Good going on the ankle. And yes, people tend to go crazy in December.
have ai x 2, al x 7, an x 8, aw x 5. missing?

hello Dee
this grid looks nasty
I think it is... luckily hug posted list on babanon for us all!
is something wrong with lickety?
i haven't looked for the list yet, i try to leave it as long as i can
... I think drg ran out of grids today; so site was down 25 min... I think that may be why lickety isn't up
ahhhhhhhhhh, am glad, better for that reason than some other
so true! finally fireworks for me... needed help for last 34...
wtg Dee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ty so much... off to check email... have fun with the grid & hope you have a great day / eve!!!
*poof*
hi all :)
clues looks abit screwy...
hi MRP
hiya lynxx :)) how ya going?
Babble was late starting today, which is why your beloveds list would be screwy
hi all. hi lynxx.
I'm good MRP, you and yours?
hello Kanga! how's tricks?
not bad. i have my kids helping me tonight!
You'll do well then! kids can always see the words faster
They're doing very well! How are things with you?
hi kanga
Hi mrp! Glad to hear you are doing better.
Clues are up finally
Terrific, we've had some rain and now back to lovely weather
Hi Lickety, nice to see you too
hey lynxxx! hope things are good
Raining for us now. Which is great, cos we just put some new plants in the garden. (hi lickety)
lickety needs valium... wine will have to suffice for now.
ty lickety
hello mrp
I took out a taxi ;-(
hi jacq :)
was worried when someone said there was no list
why is Lickety all wound up?
nasty... but he is ok
hey lynxxx
Crash! $$$$$$$$$$$$
lynxx, he had a car accident
!!!! are you OK Lickety?
crap, lickety! you ok?
oh god, glad you're ok lickety
def needs wine then
he is shaking ... wine and possibly bourbon might help
my kids send their sympathy...
yeah came to a stop when I hit him, slid - brake on, brake off, brake on, brake off, then screaming at the taxi - GET A MOVE ON
he aquaplaned into the taxi... no traction on wet road
not a good night for driving.
eeek. killed chat.
kids say goodnight. hope wine helps lickety. see you all later.
nighters kanga and kids! :))
try to keep warm lickety
Bye kids, sweet dreams
nite kanga
going to do my chores for a bit, be back soon
bye Jacq
Nite everyone, finish this in the morning
morning/night to the other side of the world
woke up to the perpetual winter dilemma of whether to have the very long and hilly driveway sanded. Right now it is a great penguin slide. But it costs $60 each time and if it continues to rain will get washed away.
hi eva :)
good morning babblers
Hi
HEllol
hi kiddies
hell lol indeed infern!
Hell is stupid face book
static.ak.fbcdn.net THis is a phishing virus and my pc is like um NO bad bad bad. It is harmless but irritating and facebook is working on it. I am suprised you can't hear me swear from your end
How are you my dear?
anyone?
sorry infern... between work and hell at the moment
thats ok
lickety was in a car accident today, he is FINE!! but our car is crapped. so have to get another car tomorrow. To top it off... we are seeing our legal team for our 'ripoff' agents due to last tenancy tomorrow. All went to hell in a handbasket today
oh frog off. HUGSSSSSSSSSS
OH im going to be naughty
as 5/10 is the only word I can't find - can anyone clue it for me?
found it - fireworks!!
yah anike
Oh my goodness, Mrp. I am so happy Lickety is ok; sorry about the car; Good luck with your meeting tomorrow; sorry it went crazy today
HI Phan
good morning!
how are you?
moring...* yawn*..i hate the am fuzzy brain thing
Hi Carlee
{{MRP}} Lickety is ok????for sure for sure?
Oh, sorry, lady. I am fine; a bit tired but I just got up
this puzzle seems slow going so far
hi phan
morning Carlee
Mr Lickety seems ok Carlee
Can you believe it? My Norton Anti-Virus will not allow me to open the Lickety List this morning.
that odd merk
ok...good... slipping back into fuzzy brain
bugs are about today
i've found some bugs and some vermin
words in the puzzle?
FIREWORKS!:-) Hi all. This is a very 'noisy' grid with lots of weeping and wa****g noises, cat noises and exclamations.
yeap....for me anyway
HI Jac
woot for jacs
wtg Jacula
Woo Hoo, Jac
my phantom is alias....
I was amused by the way the slow-moving thing with a shell on its back (and plural) comes straight after the word describing the trail it leaves.
I was just thinking the same thing Carlee
actually i rarely have a phantom....
Well, I'd better be off; the ironing won't do itself. Happy Babbling all.
byebye jacs
quiet group this am
*lurking and coughing in the background*
Yes we are cause this grid SUCKS
i usually don't put it that emphatically, but I think I agree with you to some extent, herin
oh...it must be twisting my brains way again
it's like pulling teeth to get any words!
it is
well, i've made it to the halfway point without lickety, but no ways near 1 from every tile
Hi Dorens
good for you, Dorens
hi herin
Morning babblers :)
I have to agree that this grid is going to be troublesome
morning nono
jacs was right..lots of animal noises today....and creepy crawlies...would be a good hallowe'en grid
indeed
I am thinking I might open lickety before 1/2 way I only have 69 words
i think i may not bother. HI NONO
just jumped to 75!
50 left here, but frazled after spending *2 hours* trying to get someone to pick my broken car up and take it to its garage!
:( i'm kinda liking htis grid.....found 82 words in 30 min
i am not.
ATA wasn't just small thing?
oh.. our lw babblet in the grid
no. gearbox trouble
it is a bit slow going, but i have gotten down to 62 left (but at that, i still only have greyed one tile)
pfft
bugger
oh, sorry for that ata
morning all
hi mixi
car problems not nice regardless of what they are
ouch....hate it when transmission goes
I phoned up our 2 biggest breakdown providers. I'm still quite stunned by this, but one wanted to charge me £50 more because the car was at home - the gearbox "clunked" while I was out with pup. The lady on the phone actually said to me that I would have been charged less if I'd abandoned the car when the problem started - in the middle of a very very busy dual carriageway - than managing to coax it home
I find that just unbelievable
but bloody typical
OH wonderful. Cause an accident yes that sounds like a plan
exactly!
I would have caused *huge* issues leaving it there, and most likely injured hobbit adn myself trying to cross the road
the stupidity is just unbelievable
and probably been charged with obstruting a busy highway
oh yes. Did you just tell them that you had your ''child'' in the car and it wasn't safe?
yep! and yep. needless to say, I did not choose to give them my custom!
omg cant believe i actually saw the italian greeting. I normally miss that one
" I did not choose to give them my custom" that a good line... <giggle>
ty nono!
i always miss the posterior...
HOw is Hobbit?
sulking cos she didn't get a proper walk!
morning, all.
HI angel
morning Angel
i just love how you brits sound so snooty... when ro5ly ticked off... I So use as much of it as i can when am cheesed off with m-in-l cus she so low class
the local news media was a little hysterical last night. we had rain, sleet and snow. you'd have thought it was another ice age, the way the news carried on.
LOL yes, it's what we do best!
ok, made it 1/2 way with Lickety's help; gonna eat breakfast, walk the dog in pouring down rain, go get my hip xrayed again and hopes to donate platelets today.
hehehe..i did NOT choose to give them my custom....oh boy this gonna be a good one when I choose to use it on her
mmmmfg
Is Jarrel, Tx in the northern part of the state, Angelsong?
she'll do a "huh?..WTF did u just say" look
be all very proper and nice to her
looooool
oh..i do....<evil grin>
not at all., phan. we're much more central.
It doesn'
It doesn't normally get that cold there does it?
( u see ata....ur experiences today..will brighten my day tomorrow..at least SOMEHTING good came of it )
good!!
morning ladies;)
ok himself is home so i am going to go now enjoy
I might actuakly write and complain to the AA. that woman was so out of order suggesting I should have done something dangerous
hi crossy
bye bye herin
hi Crossy
HI Crossy and night night
mornig crossy...
sorry i just came in.what dangerous thing did the aa woman tell you to do?
nite herin....
oh before i go the cat just played dead on the b.f to get the double ear scratchings her eyes are back in her skull all blissed out.
ok, outta here; happy babbling
howdy carlee:)
fireworks
awwwwwwww
hehehe...i love my cats...they so fun
woot for mixi
wtg mixi
she doesn't want to know me though
yah Mix
AA as in Automobile Assistance, not Alc Anon ;) But she told me I should have abandoned my (now dead) car in the middle of a busy dual carriageway and walk home with Hobbit rather than coax the car home
our 2 cats just demanded breakfast and are now feeding
bad advice indeed
One of my two cats is demanding to be petted. see y'all.
utterly stupid
hmmm...my m-in-l in the grid..just not accepted...I wouldnt accept her either
LOL
too funny Carlee
she tries..she does try...but she just does NOT get it..adn she was SO hoping my husband and I would split up so she could have her son back....but all that has happened is he is now more mine then ever...
brb NOT the AA here to take car away!
must be wicked to have a m-i-l like that
she does try....she not...intentionally evil
she just... does not see things the way most people do
she gives credit to those who don't deserve it....and doesn't to those who do
always for the undersog
has she always felt this way about you Carlee?
underdog*
ever since my husband's accident..yes....we had polar opposite views..actually since he bought the dirtbikes
up until then I was the "good " daughter in law
does she blame you for hubby's accident
she felt he deserved to go out and have fun.... and was mad I refused to agree our daughter should have one too
ah i see
no....her philosophy is if an accident happens it was meant to...no matter what...on sept 18, 2007 he was going to break his back
and my philosphy is...is yes.accidents happen..but I wil lnot feel sorry for the downhill skier who races like a madman down a hill chasing the devil and breaks his neck..he CHOSE to ski like an idiot
i have to agree with you Carlee in that no one is forcing them to act like idiots
anyway..since then..her attitude has been anything for the little boy who fell down and had a bad booboo...and I said...get urself up..dust urself off..and make the best of what u have left to work with
i see skiers obliterate themselves on a daily basis,and on a more local note they fill up our emerg with broken ankles and broken writs to the point that us locals end up going 1 hour away to the next large towns emerg
good morning all
yep life must and does go on so deal with it as best you can
good morning wvteach
morning wv
howdy wvteach
Good Morning Everyone Ho are you all.
hi Red
hi rth:)
hmmm..first pass...some chitchat...and only 60 to go...

Oh interesting..the weather guy is frozen on the screen...but we are expecting a high of 80.
how long will repairs take Ata
Ata is your car busted?

Horrible.
I am sorry.

Hello Babblers.
as 5 --- add princess di***
has anyone out there recently updated their Norton security and now can't get lickety's clues in expert? grrrrrr!
I greyed the q already--woot, woot.
a + ***s ( french without) + a vowel
thanks babble! firewords!
morning scrabs
I updated Norton last spring...you may need to change your settings or firewall about what sites are allowed.
woot for katy
hi scrabs
Yahooo Katy!
have a good day all. time for work.
Tks for the advice, Scrabs. Guess I'll have to do a little detective work -- after I've Babbled a while!
I recall having trouble in the past when upgrading Norton, especially because I use Firefox and not IE as my browser.
This is not an easy grid, is it? I am hitting the wall at only 52 found.
I'm pretty much computer illiterate! One of those people who doesn't want to know how it works, but just wants it to work! Same for my car! I must reform, I must reform, I must .... ;-)
its...full of creepy crawlies...and animal sounds of the night scrabs
Go to Kim Komando for computer advice.
cat noises
I am now ascared, Carlee!
TY, I got the cat sound, and, if I recall, there is a variant spelling too...
yep 2 m cat noises, 2 y cat noises, 2 h wolf noises!
yepa..there is... and wolf sounds too
TY for wolf--and then bird with big eyes too.
I cannot remember the variant cat sound.
3 or 4 vowels?
extra vowel
3
3 vowels
me5 and mi5
me4 I mean
Aha, I monkeyed it. I knew that I had seen it here before.
OK, I am up to 62 and must get ready for work. Enjoy the day everyone.
yippee for scrabs.....
hagd scrabs....
you as well, scrabs. and tks again!
mornin babblers!
hi eva

i am planning on making bagels...and baking a cheesecake :)
i have a lot to do also... but...
Carlee how do you make your bagels. I've never done that
i use my bread machine
to make the dough...then u boil in some sweetened water for a couple mins after they have risen...then u bake
Okay, do you boil them? How do you shape them?
time conduming but NOt hard at all
( ther ea recipe on allrecipes.com for bread machine bagels...its perfect )

Good morning, Babbloniaphiles.

wouldn
kick him out for eating crackers, that is for sure!
MMMMMM HMMMMM.
Hiya everyone.....Is anyone else having problems with Expert or is it just me?
the movie was just so gorgeous. the art direction was perfect, and baz lurhmann is just a genius at setting frames. you could take any still from that movie, frame it, and put it on the wall
Seems to be working fine here, Movieman.
I dont have expert, so...
hi
(What's Expert)?
Yes. The scenery was gorgeous - when it wasn't so dusty.
my Expert is just fine mm
hi matty Expert is a program that Lickety developed for us. If you send him an email he will send it to you
Oooh, I think I may once have had it, and lost it...
Do you think if I email Lickety he will resend me the program?
I think he would MM
I just IM'd him, and he said OK :)
172 and FIREWORKS!
yay no no
hoan
sorry
Guten Morgen, friends and countrymen!
morning inge
I have just e-mailed Lickety, and I am awaiting a response
hiya inge
morgen Inge
Is there a clue for as 5/10? It has me going bonkers.
ending as in princess Di
aebmusica, are you a newbie?
I have a feeling there are going to be lots of weird words today.
right Judi, there sure are
Of th 9 y's, I have one so far. Yeeeesh.
thanks, flosie , tht did it
I have 4 of them
yw inge
nein......been here fuer ein Monat, Inge
Movieman...I am also having problems. I have emailed Norton. I use Norton 360 and am also in England
Norton sucks.
the third letter is the same for all y's
thanks BR, y words complete
Now I am having expert trouble. I had fireworks and now the word list is again 81 left.
That's odd, inge. Refresh?
OK I am back to 0, but it keeps saying Access violation
I am getting out of here while I am still in one shape
Gremlins, Inge. Possibly a server problem. Might want to re-boot entirely.
I had similar problem yesterday inge - had to put words in a second time was not enjoying feeling of deja vu
this little beast of a grid is not exactly a breeze, eh?!
an 7 -- alternate spelling of a condition caused by an iron deficiency
this is a test
tx BR . . . took me a minute to see that you meant the adjective form :-)
Babble why cant I get it?>??
I know the word! I know the alternate spelling arrrugh. Is it that I cant spell?
red, ends in Mr. Jagger
Ooooh.
Perhaps I need to do something else.
:-D
sa 6 ---- add, Ange**** jolie; pl
How long does it normally take to get a reply from Lickety?
Nice Newt Une
tx BR
and tx, red . . . he's more than ready for his closeup!
gotta run . . . BBL . . . airport transport duty calls! :-)
Byue Une.
be well, Uneaixoise
Movieman, it depends, but of course ith the time difference...and apparnetly they are a bit busy right now with family.
Yesterday's Wall Street Journal has an article about the number of women selling their eggs due to bad economic times. Sad
hello all
Oh right, I'll continue to wait then
Hello, peri
And dangerous for the women...
How is everyone anyway
Oooh. Bichon, what a great idea. I never thought of that! Course, I'm old, so they probably would only offer wholesale for my eggs.
ty BR, for the an7
And more women are renting out their entire equipment for even more money
weird weather here, was 19 degrees
Yes BR, now that my dunderhead got round it thanks much...
on Monday and now it is 62 degrees F today
Hi peri. going to be 80 here..
Is donating eggs dangerous?
You are having odd wewather.
I think they're looking for younger women. And you can't have any genetic diseases in your DNA
Donating eggs can be uncomfortable and I think sometimes dangerous
actually, I have a friend that suffers from premature ovarian failure, and my eggs were rejected because I was the *very* decrepit forty years old. feh.
Yes they are looking for women in their early twenties, it can be dangerous and it can also cause the women problems hen trying to concieve later.
Well, I'm 44, so that rules out my eggs. I suppose I could donate them to science. I'm not using them.
so the idea is ill-conceived
red, you have surpassed me in Scramble! So has rolin and someone else I can't remember. I was 3rd last week and now I am in 6th place :(
LOL BR.
Good pun BR
Oh sorry Peri...I've had that high score for a long time. It was a lucky grid!
Har dee har har.
hallooo
92 words left and finding this to be a difficult grid
it is a not fun grid. I am doing better with BR's earlier clues.
Hi Matty.
going to go up to upper 60's
bu it is raining :)
oops meant that to be :(
I got up late, couldn' sleep at all last night, so I missed BR's great clues
If you scroll back. they should be there.
help with the A in the middle of the bottom row please
Light Snow 12°F Feels Like -4°F
yikes, BR
peri - where are you? We have 60s today too, but whipping winds. it is so dramatic and cool
I am too lazy to read the entire grid, just what is on my screen
High today supposed to be 84. But BR likes to lay in the hammock in the cold.
SE, PA
i am in boston, so it sounds like the east coast is having the same weather blip
and you Trif?
I really want to get outside today even tho it is raining, since it is so warm
Peri the an seven describes someone with iron deficiency.
I got that one red, thanks
Trif, my best friend lives in Natick
do you have the an retentive one? Not sure that canme from the a you need.
yes I have that one and no It did not come from the middle A

Babs, which ones are you missing
i only have two... homonyms... one is to eat, or what you eat, and the other is italian

1 c is like dog food or a breed of dog
There's a ch4/10 - what dogs eat

I'm really struggling with today's grid
yw ruru
well that's the 7's out of the way at least!
A's finally done!
not for me - that 7 is the only corner one i've got!
still don't have either 7...:-(
oi6/36 anyone?
the spelling is more original babs - it got simplified for american english
hi all. matty oi6 is gas route
Thanks skooj!]
yw
keep trying...not getting spelling that works.
mm strange spelling on the an/36..like a euro or britt spelling;/
an7...add latin ending then ***key Mouse
sa6 like a harmless solution they put in your IV, but change the last vowel, and then pl for the 7
ty hurshy
thanks Hurshy!
any hints for the ch6?
ch + vowell + woman's name
thanks ruru - what a dumb word.
last mi 5/12?
oh - it's pretend. thanks enable!
dracula's bride, plural
or, a diff spelling for the black bird that talks
second yo 5/22?
yo 4/10 is a animal sound in pain the plural it for 5/22
looks like a yelp
u sure that's the second one? I have the animal sounds for the other one
Nice grid .. not ..
ruru did you get the mi?
sorry i havnt listed yet so was unaware the total number of y words;/
yes just got it thank you
172
Y + i *** you money, that's the first one, the animal sounds are the second
well, i still miss two Y's, but, that's my best guess
hi all - back for my last 12
aha
no,
the second one is a sound you make when you are hurt or startled
then there are 2 y,s that use nautical terms
finding them as we speak:))
personally I am offended "yowsa" didn't make it in
3 if you count the pl
thanks, hursh...thought I'd already typed in..usual story...lol
A sailboat with the mizzenmast abaft the rudder post ..

2nd yo 5/22 ends like frontiersman Jim Bo***
after growing up in rhode island, where the guy who would tell you the ocean forecast went by the name of salty brine...
an 7/36 please?
an 7 is a variant sp. of what you are if you lack red blood cells
salty brine! (((hugs))) and now his son is the morning guy on wror, and has been for years!

ahh nothing foner than making westing round the lizard with a full press of sails and the ship with the bone in her teeth eh torgopne?? lol
lack of iron in the blood lynn
with an extra vowell
My ex-brother-in-law's ex-wife thought swine was the plural of swan ..
ni 6/27?
oh dear, yes, i suppose old salty is dead now :(
im totally not getting the spelling
i think he might be....but wally rocks on.
a ni6 is a politeness
kind of the english spelling lynn
thank you lynn...i've been trying for a lonnng time to get the spelling.
anyone have the ni 6/27?
some would say an unnecessary politeness
ni6 - continuation of ni4,

not nice to leave corpses laying around eva
Voilà ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
Hello Trifioso
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
ill clean up after myself! so long as i dont hafta go to prison or anything, im *totally* ok with cleaning...
good grief movie man..no more coffee for you
V For Vendetta - great film!
must have swallowed some v's in his coffee!
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. - V - V For Vendetta
but i really, REALLY, *REALLY* wanna kill him a lot. and i dont mean i want a lot to kill him, i want to kill him a lot!
never kill him,just make sure he hurts for 50 or 60 years..then kill him
slowly
eh, im too annoyed to have to deal with him for another 50-60 years! then i suffer too!
Too right matty
I think the film's better than the graphic novel, actually.
what's going on eva?
How much are you looking forward to Watchmen?
A hell of a lot matty, as well as The new Terminator and Transformers movies
is mi 5/16 a common verb used in England? have never heard it before?
I don't know it, Babs
we have been working on this project for 2 months. there are 3 of us here who are testers (im the lowest tester on the totem pole -- the other 2 are "senior" testers, one of them being our new test lead) so, we received the requirements 2 months ago so we could start writing our test plans. they were supposed to have been finished like 2-3 weeks ago so we would have time for a few reviews/edits. the date kept getting pushed back because the other two hadnt finished their plans (mind you, mine was done on time). the dates got pushed like 4-5 times! finally, we are supposed to have a review TODAY so we can start testing on friday, and the test LEAD is STILL coming to me asking for clarification on the requirements + i had to spend MY morning fixing the test plans of the OTHER senior tester!!
serisously -- what have these people spent the last 2 months doing?!
i don't think mi5/16 is a verb... i thought it was a kind of bread
*grumble*
so...is there a way to bring this to the attention of the management team...imagine you've already tried that or they won't listen?
hursh, can I have a clue to the mi?
four left
my test lead *is* my direct supervisor... and the person he reports to knows both of them are lacking, but theyre already having issues with one another... theres a reorganization going on right now, so no one wants to rock the boat. :/
rhymes with micro fi*** --storage form in the library
ty Babs
ahh...the typical dysfunctional team junk! at least you know your work was done and others do as well, no?
two left - both LIs. LI 6/18 (before nasty bugs that live on the head) and LI 5/14 (before an essential G&T ingredient)
i dont mind being the person to clean up after everyone else... but i HATE when everyone waits until the last minute to dump it on me, then i hafta stress myself out to get it all done. im not the senior, im not the lead. i dont get paid like they do, so this shouldnt be my problem.
OK, got the li5/14 - jut the 6/18 now
sounds to me eve,all you have to do is wait for the smoke to clear and you will be the only left standing:)
the li 6 is the pl of the li 5/10 bbefore it
oooh duh! Thanks guys, that's fireworks for me :)
sadly, in contractor-land, it doesnt quite work that way.
:(
usually, if youre good at your job, you get punished with more work while the slackers sit around all day + pick up their paychecks....
Thanks everyone - that's my lot (and it beat working ;) )
have a good one
so..this is the way the work world is...what are your choices to make it better? If none, then take a deep breath and know inside you did your best...sound like mom here!
fireworks
o fond that if every day you do the best you can and do not worrly bout the other slackers then you should reap the rewards.and if not you can be secure in your own mind that you provide a honest effort for your wages
hello
cngrats matty and josh
darn typos
i'm a slacker today, on vacation
yeah, pretty much. im just venting. (and hoping i can just kill the people who are annoying me!)
vent away:))
Yeah! Vacation! I'm just slacking off. Don't feel like doing anything!
i thought you were just typing in the Canadian lilt, cross!
a old saying eva is that contentment in all manner of work will oftentimes be reduced to the purity of service,the way in which you work...rather than the one wo is being seved...thats how body guard can live in peace cause oftentimes the ones they protect really deserve a bullet
lol babs
darn typos..but you get the drift
love your comments, cross!
i think i want a banzai (sp) tree this year:)

hello everyone - just popped in to finish the grid
hi JMann
hello lynxxx - how is it going?
hey JMann!
Not bad generally, gridwise maybe not so well, 30 left which seem elusive. You?
hi Stid!
hello stid
hey lynxxx, trying to stay awake, this particular presentation has great information, but the student is less than thrilling to listen to.
i'm down to 25, but they too are being elusive, lynxx
wow. I am stalling out with 65 to go. Not completely "with it" today.
hi all -- gave up on waiting this to load last night, so here goes
hi Cybernan, was about 20 minutes after normal start
na 5/10 second?
Babs - NA 5/10 = deals with the nose, as in Post NA*** drip

thanks jmann and evening all
my culinary brilliance will never end! I've just discovered how to roast a chicken :) and hi!

hello lilliann
hi Ata
hi Lill
inlaws isn't a word????
in-laws
i know cybernan - that one I was sure was a word!

Congrats Babs

ah, got it, thanks
yw
silly word!
evening everyone
hi katiekins!
hi katie :-)
hi Katie
just looking at your gallery, ata...haven't visited in awhile--so beautiful!!!
oh! thank you!!
my daughter's web page has some of her newer stuff...now applying to theatre production schools looks like instead of visual arts
i thought this might be a quick grid like yesterdays, how wrong was i!!
theatre work is more stable career than visual arts, I would think, even with the vagaries of theatre life!
I wasn't keen on yesterday's grid, i hope this one isn't any worse
maybe? trying to get her interested in learning a few supporting skills...has been doing henna work when time.
well, it depends what you want to do in theatre
at least theatres need theatre people, it must be harder to justify paying an artist? well, maybe? I'm kind of guessing!
i preferred yesterdays katie. have you heard from your mam? is she having a nice holiday?
izzylawlor.com is her site. her orchids on her school work page remind me of your work..love your oxonmoot, parade, and calla especially!!
She's having a great time thanks lill, it was a bit cloudy the first week but has been better since
stalled at 99 -- must be tea time!
i would think it is still warm tho even tho cloudy...jamaica was like that, even when it was raining and you could still get a tan...it was very weird! i'm glad she's having a good time. when do they get back?
Babs - what type of theatre work is she interested in doing? Tech, directing, acting?
her henna work is always so lovely!
They will be back next Monday :-)
to the cold...how nice, not!!
i must start getting ready for our hols, i can't wait for some heat, i hate the cold, but i'm glad the snow has gone now...the last of it went today
when and where are we going?
where did they go, Katie?
They are in Cuba
oh lovely!
we are going to egypt again next friday but go to manchester on thursday and will be away for xmas and new year this time
jmann...she's interested in it all, but will have to choose a focus...so probably costume and makeup. She loves to act, sing, dance, do costume design, makeup...could see her as a production designer
Lovely Lill, we are going away on the Sunday again for Christmas and New Year, can't wait!
is she good at sewing?
cuba is on our list of places to go. we were hoping to go back to jamaica next year but can't afford it at the moment so have booked egypt again but somewhere different this time...masalam
where are you going katie?
marsa alam? nice diving there!
she's done some sewing, felting, knitting (just coming up with her own armwarmer recipe), sculpture, origami...now working on senior project with sewing and construction of costumes based on nature themes
Wow Babs, so young, so talented! you must be v. proud
We are going to the Maldives I have been before but hubby hasn't I can't wait to see his face when he gets up in the sea plane
I remmeber marsa alam when it was little more than a bunch of huts and 2 hotels
thanks ata, i knew i had spelt it wrong
Costume design is definitely one that is in demand, makeup not so much, unless it's specialized makeup (think something like Phantom)
just try to keep up with her and help guide her...temperamental artist temperament!
oh great katie. we wanted to go there and thought better of it because of me and mobility
do you work in this field jMann? have recommendations on schools?
you can get some fab tours into the desert from Marsa - loads of old ruins to poke at
I do work in theatre - and even with a bad economy, there are still jobs out there.
where we are going in marsa alam there is nothing around
but we will go out and about
have recently found Webster outside St. Louis and their conservatory program
The islands I have been to have been very flat with no steps into anything but you do have to be able to walk on sand as all of the paths are sand. I'm sure some have better facilities than others though
well, you have to really trekinto the desert a few hours, but it's great fun
it's still not overly built up ata but i think it will get that way
what do you do jmann? have any suggestions for a gap year for her? thinking of internships, apprentice work, etc?
that's the problem with wheelchairs...they don't go well with sand..lol
As I say I am sure there must be some that are OK but definitely not the two I have been to so far, will report back on this one
well, I used to be a Production Manager, and now I'm a Stage Manager
you'll like Marsa, lilli
my hubby and daughter went to the valley of the kings last time we were there and loved it but said not good for me, i ususally miss out on lots of good tourist spots
don't be surprised if you see a lot of military outposts there though, abandoned tanks etc!
thanks katie, i'm sure there will be one i can go to
oh right, thanks ata
you would have thought in this day and age things would be getting better at tourist attractions!
liliann, i just got back from 9 days in Egypt and i vowed that i didn't want to see another step for a long time. it can't be easy for you to see some of the things from the ancient times.
it's from all the continual border skirmishes with Sudan. It's a bit disturbing for a day or two, but it's pretty much all old or abandoned
i love egypt altogether ata
me too
well, i don't think that putting ramps in the pyramids would be a good thing katie..... there might be a few protests...lol
Where is she located? In Texas as well? What is the largest theatre close by to you? See if they have internships listed on their website. Does she have a theatre program at her school?
its not joey, but there are still things i can see and do and i love the people over there
i wish that i could remember, but one of the temples was very disability friendly. had all types of ramps, etc.
hope you had a good time joey
had a great time
jmann...she's interested in stage management too, but I think she's more the designer type...any ideas on schools? We're in Austin. She may assist a tech. director for work experience this year for a kid's acting program.
is there still trouble between them now ata?
She goes to a Waldorf school..very small...300 seat auditorium though...they do impressive plays in high school grades 10 and 12.
I don't think so, beyond normal border grumblings
really, could you have a good think for me joey...you have 7 days.....lol
We're in the middle of most people's seasons, but some run year-round. If she can assist a Tech Director that would give her some great experience.
can I get your e-mail jmann? or you could send it to mine which is listed with profile.
To be a stage manager, you have to have a lot of patience, a lot of it, because you're dealing with everyone's business
oh ok, thanks ata
any good programs in CA that you like, jmann?
right, Jmann...i think that's not her forte.
joey, thats why i married a big strong man so he can heave me and wheelchair all over the place and if not good for the chair i just get carried everywhere....i might have to trade him in for a fitter, younger model soon tho....lol
sorry Babs - I just sent you an e-mail
there are good programs around the country. I went to a school that also had a professional theatre company attached to it, so it gives an opportunity to study and then (possibly) work your way into the professional world as opposed to most schools which just give you a degree and say "Good luck"
sa6/18 is driving me nutso, could i get a clue?
I just tried to google it lill but the information on the web is rubbish
sa6/18 - salty place
oh ok, thanks anyway katie
Any of the ones here in CA that I know of are going to be expensive (because you are out of state).
thanks, it helps if i stop trying to use a 2 point letter!
down to 50 -- list time
loool yes :)

al 5/14?
Babs - looked up UofT at Austin, and they have links to other theatres in Austin, but not sure how big those theatres are.
Al*** for the poor and canadian ending?
only if you know how to spell it, I went to the US version of the spelling
20 words to go until half time and I can hear the list gently calling :-)
go katie go!!!
kaaaaatie! kaaaaaaaaaatie! *is the list*
Crumble is sitting so close to the fire I will need to check her for burns in a while
ty harp -- will we ever live that down?
one of my gran's cats set her tail on fire that way *facepalm*
I'm not mocking it yet, crumble could be joining it
That made my decision to list easy, can't get Lickety up - ??
just have a glass of water to hand!
Mari's cat use to sleep on the ashes of the fire when they were still glowing
oh oh lynxxx!!!
seems to be working for me.
down to 62. listing NOW
cats are STUPID!
bragger :-)
wait..cats are stupid?..i beg to differ
one of my cats used to sleep on cacti
omg katie... surprised your mam didn't have a barbecued cat!!
maybe she couldn't reach an itch????
the same itch every day for years?
neverknow....maybe had dry skin???
no, only skin infections where the cacti spiked her
hi Carlee!
i have a cat here who tells me when it is time for bed....i have NO idea how she knows what itme it is
shame she wasn't lying on an aloe vera one ata
owie... cactus spikes HURTS
hi carlee
noooo only big pointy ones!
hi lynxxx...
cats obviously like pain!!
oh well, break is over. down to 56, will lurk while the students talk...
so how is everyone's day going?
what the latest gossip with the young students stiddy?
Rhubarb is very very smart, Casty is average, Crumble is a little challenged in the intelligence department
you really don't want to know, carlee!
Oh ata whats wrong?
poor Crumble!
I love her more for it :-)
what now ata?
oh, they're having some technical difficulties.
car gearbox went caput and then I spent 2 1/2 hours, literally, getting someone to come and pick it up and take it to the renault garage *sigh*
are you an AA or RAC or something else person, Katie? (before I rant about them!)
oh dear atalante... *hot cup of cocoa and plate of cookies*
yes...i remember that....and now???
nothing else. that was enough
crumble sounds like my sort of cat katie
i love renaults.... wish we could still get them here
i'm aa ata
2 and half hours!!
what were they doing
AA. omg. you know what the idiots told me today? that I should have left my car where it broke down rather than coaxing it home, because it would have cost me £70 less to join and get breakdown cover if that was the case (breakdown cover was another grrrr, husband apparently forgot to renew our green flag cover, so I had to get cover at the same time)
anyway, where the car broke down was in the middle of a very very busy 60mph dual carriageway. She suggested I should have walked home from there with Hobbit.
well...when I finish making my chocochip cheesecake ata...u can have a slice....
OMG ata, that does count as a bad day!
the AA tried to charge me - get this - £270 to get my car to the garage
shuffles off to the kitchen to get Ata a baileys
oh..i have mudslide in my fridge... or a glass of amerone ata?
which dual carriage way ata, i used to live down there
oooo now that's a good idea!
A2 going to Canterbury!
Hmmmmmmm what did they end up charging you ata? *hands over a very large baileys*
that's typical!!
omg I wouldn't stop there and walk if someone paid me!
especially not when it is icy
not the best road to be walking with a dog or not...very busy!!
ri 5-6 combo, please?
and with poor hobbit too
how badly is hubby in the dog house?
ni6,plz
I told the AA exactly what I thought of their service and phoned the RAC, who charged me £150ish for year's membership and picking up the car today, within 40 minutes they were here and car was poofed off to Canterbury!
C'nan - same as the regal set
how much?!?!
well, put it this way, I think he should be rather glad he's away for the next 3 days!
ty lynxxx
i've been with both but must admit i've never had a problem with the aa, but only had to call them out once and hubby was with me then
ni 6 builds on the 4
good for the RAC, I know it is expensive but at least you have a years membership and whilst it was expensive they weren't actually blackmailing you
ni6 ....to give help someone whom u don't wish to would be polite or one of these...
unlike the AA
we have our aa membership with the bank now
absolutely! I didn't mind paying that. I just refuse to pay over the odds for people annoying me!
I'm not sure who I am with, I have a company car. I should really check before I need it!
and the AA nearly refused to take the car to Canterbury, because they wanted to tow it to the shitty garage in Faversham. Which would have been pointless cos the car is under warranty with Canterbury Renault!
ty car
you should, katie!
might be a good idea katie
Crumble has now moved to my lap and her paws are burning me, I think she is hot enough!
oooh..i just found a recipe for pumpkin ginger scones....sounds yummmm
LOL katie
anyway, so that took over 2 hours this morning, but at least the car is with renault now. They can't look at it till Friday, but it's their problem now and not mine, so I don't care!
did they give you a courtesy car?
i could do with her on my lap...i'm freezing and my cat isn't overly loving!
do you get a courtesy car ata/
hi kids!
not yet *sigh* they can't do taht till they look at it, and they can't look at it till Friday. But on Friday they better do!
hi k21
see thick cats are the best :-)
hi k21
they really should now, but after all the rest, i really couln't be bothered to argue
Hi k21
they certainly are katie...mine is lying on his cushion next to the radiator

I was just watching a prog about highland rebelilions and Culloden etc., it's the strangest place - and the presenter has just said the same - it's the only place I've ever been too that you can feel the ghosts around you. It's very - odd.
ty lilliann
yw mary

i had bagels for the 1st time this summer in jamaica....they were a bit dry for me
think they would be mine too
when i finnaly ick off i want to be buried with half a dozen:)
kick
afternoon, all
bagels, more than a lot of things, have to be *good* bagels. bad bagels are meh
the cheese ones sound nice
hi jes
Toasted bagels simply with cream cheese - yum. Or otherwise fresh, with smoked salmon, cream cheese & capers - double yum
yes, cream cheese and salmon
bad bagels are crap..the m-in-l says she gets a dozen frozen ones for 3 dollars and is shocked that i pay 3.99 for half a dozen..but there is no comarison im telling you
sorry got distracted the train company just sent me a bottle of wine and a really cool wine opener, no wonder my tickets are so expensive!!!
lol kaite;)
that was nice of them!
or, or, with herring salad. Can you guess we live near a kosher deli?
i had toasted ones with cream cheese. and some of them had herbs on
or salt beef
have to love a woman who gets her booze delivered by train;)))
I was converted to salt beef this summer
hmmm...you guys are making me hungry!
lovely katie
I was a little shocked :-) Good customer service though :-)
cream cheese and strawberry jam on marble bagels...hmmmm
or montreal style smoked mean with honey djon:)))
meat
I'm going to raid the fridge now, not drinking the wine as it looks expensive, I don't usually have a wine with a number on in this house :-)
looool
LOL katie
if you get a bottle with a ribbon and a marked seal in a blob of wax,run for the hills katie;)
if they send you wine, they might as well send you decent wine!
jaque cousteau (sp) once drank a 3000 year old red wine that he found in a sealed amphora in a greek wreck he was diving on:))
Jacques Cousteau
he was offered a million dollars for it and he turned it down
drank it with family at a roast beef dinner
show-off!
I would have taken the money!!
said"was not bad"
which family LOL
with his first born son
was my favorite show when i was younger;)
you know he had two complete families? with Francine and his sons, and then one with his mistress and her son?
every week you tried to picture yourself as a member on board the calypso:)
didnt know that ata
did not know that Ata
he's my hero. I have a whole shelf of his books, and another of old videos of his
and I have one book signed by him
fireworks!!
27 left, bbs
yay lilli!
must away and have bath and finish making my xmas cards so i can post them tomorrow...take care all...bye
bye, lili
hi jes
how's it, ata?
good good, except I have a little Hobbit with big sad eyes cos she's a bit limpy. I told her not to run so fast!!
aww. arthritic?
yeah ... not badly, but just enough to stiffen her up every now adn then
joint supplements?
she has glucosamine, it keeps it under control 99/100 days. she was just chasing pheasants earlier *sigh* and that tends to undo all good from the glucosamine!
glucosamine is the most amazing thing!
heh. yeah, no cure for weekend warrior syndrome
"spaniel bouncing syndrome" lol
she'll just have to take it easy for a day or two
anywya, how are you? I saw your LJ about your strange clients!
rough day; tis the season for things to die, apparently. lost one over night, euthed one this am, got another this afternoon, and dr s has 2 euths this afternoon
oh no :( I'm sorry. that must be a hard day
yeah. not really happy about it. but it'll pass.
any happy stories? waggy tails?
mmm. well, got to see one of my favorite clients today. really nice lady, mostly nice critters. she's helped me a lot on some of my fosters (got me into the CT at the human hospital for the brain damaged cat...)
she's always fun to talk with
well that's good :) you need some happy moments!
yeah. here's hoping she finds someone for Pippen :)
oh! the boy in your pic? he is *adorable*. I'd have him if I could!
yup, that's him. not a thing wrong with him, either (other than what's wrong with so many small-breed dogs; nervous of strangers, not good with toddlers)
I have 5 ho, is that enough?
gah. he is absolutely lovely
dunno, lynxxx, that's 5 more than i have ;)
1 more than I have!
hmmph. hoity is SO a word :(
TY I'll try he's then
yep it goes with toity
well, i found 5 ho's. i've got a 4/9, 5/20, 4/9, 5/20, 4/7. same as you have, TO?
exactly, Katie!
lovely looking dog jes
isn't he? needs a house!
Not in England with three cats he doesn't, but I'm sure he will get someone soon. It's shocking how quickly people will dispose of their pets isn't it
what is he? do you know?
half dachsund, quarter pomeranian, quarter chihuahua
what a mix!
yeah. people breed crazy crap over here.
at least they managed to keep all small breeds
i suppose that's good; if nothing else it should make him easier to place
ceil
sorry!!
thanks ;)
LOL one of my friends got a dog recently - she was told it was poodle x something small, so it wouldn't grow too big. It's now huge, and she discovered it's actually poodle x old english sheepdog *facepalm*
any clues for the CH 6?
standard poodle, not toy, i hope!
yes!
heh. it's amazing how many people don't know that poodles come in anything but toy

hello all, still 25 to go
hello peri me love
18 to go here
i had 35 to go just a minute ago when I hopped back on, but I am doing pretty well so far. I always find it is best, when I am really stuck, to poof for a bit and come back fresh. Anyone else do that?
absolutely. words usually appear!
Ata, on my list on Scramble I am now #6 :( redturtlehead, rolin, muse, and ? are all ahead of me. Last week I was #3
oops - here comes diggity to annoy me
awwww!
why does he always need to go out, right as I sit to babble?
just because, of course!
but you are still number 1 on my list Ata. I asked BDG to be my friend but she has not responded. just as well, cause she would beat me too
Evening all - tricky old grid tonight

oh trif! he's gorgeous!!
thank ata. I am so in love. We adopted him as a part of a rescue effort. He was born in St. Croix and flown up here with a bunch of other pups. About 6 months later we went to a huge reunion, and let me tell you, I got the BEST DOG
awwwwwww :) he's *adorable*!
ugh. bogged down in the sn 5,12. anyone get it? is it a weird word?
is that the slug with a house, trif?
nm - monkeys came through

how many are words are there in this puzzle please?
172
afternoon... how is the day?
hello red!
I was mad productive earlier, now I am babbling. You?
ran, saw the doctor...thats about it... dog walked...
Ata do you want a shoe report?
I'd LOVE one!
well, they are still orange.....
are they still orange? have you decorated them?
no no decoration...in fact i had a horrible run, but...the shoes are still very much the same...how are your art supplies ???
no inlaw?
oh! I'm using my favourite pencils today! Well, I'm using Caran d'Ache for the most part, except for the gold I'm using which is something else. And the paper's nice too
oh, god, that welsh valley word is here again, isn't it? took me like an hour last time, and I forget what it is...hope the monkeys ate their bananas today
no hyphen, al4/4!
oh no tru, i dont know it.
No, the Welsh valleys are cw's.
good ata, do you think you will use them again today?? for how long?
viiiiiii!
oh phew - saw the lw and panicked
there's a lw word though :)
hi vicuna...
Howdy, Ataaaaaa!
Hello, everyone!
cute pic, vi :)
HA! got up to let diggity out, came back and got it!
I'm doing a huuuuge knotwork, Vi. I'm mad!
Thanks! It's a red eft she's holding for the icon theme. =)
Yes you are, Ata. We all know that. But we love you anyway (or perhaps because of?)
wow do i need clues! not doing well at all. must go to lickety first time in two weeks.
I noticed!
vic, it is wicked warm with you today? we are still in the 60s here on the south shore - course the moths are out in full force too, ick.
hooray - fireworks for me - off to do the sarnies for tomorrows lunch and will be back later
It's not much like Christmas weather around here, certainly, Trifioso. =P
Yay for Kazzer!
yay kazzer!
hoo ra kazzer!!!
yes, I did notice the moths are all wearing little santa hats
yay kazzer!
That would be pretty funny. But the moths by us don't seem to have any sense of humour.
ty one and all - looks like we wont be having chistmassy weather on chirstmas day - could be the warmest day of the month!
boo hiss for the moths
but they must taste nice. almost every pet we have sucks em down. I think they would be a bit dry and dusty, meself
excuse bad spelling - bad spelling day in general
I just don't care for the cruch-squish texture.
Sily runs away from them...
*crunch
You cant eat something wearing a santy hat.
Well, not unless it's a turkey.
ha ha ha ha
or a cake
hi all what is today's theme please?
Or anything made of chocolate.
Newts and efts, TO!
chocolate
that reminds me - does anyone here ever go to "cake wrecks?"
me me ME!!
Chocolate newts?
I was thinking of that!
ah ty!
how much do you LOVE that site?
THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIS much
never heard of it
oh, run do not walk, TO
it's the best site ever
well, barring THIS ONE of course, ata
glad you clarified that! :) what it is like?
well yes. 2nd best then!
people send it photos of cakes they ordered vs. what they received from so-called professional bakers. You will be appalled, and thrilled, at the results
Okay, folks, I'm off. Live well, sleep well, Babble well, etc.
http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/
! we are an eaily amused bunch - of course, we babble LOL
bye Vi dear
thanks ata - I am not that quick with the cut and paste
must begin to close up shop. i will be off tomorrow and friday.
do take a look though, TO, it's quite special
i am trying, net not cooperating
oh god, the dog reeks now. Wet dog on wool carpet. barf
looooool
Trifoso...that is gross.
what kind of shop do you run, to?
i don't run any shop. just a metaphor.
hah! don't believe that tri. she runs the armed forces of the united states of america
ooh! only three words left! I wasn't really paying attention to the count, just lickety
ooh the owl cake is toooooo cute@!
some of them are adorable, some are just - speechlessness
owl cake? what is owl cake?
hey dor i took tomorrow and friday off yay me! hope to finish shopping
i did like that one, owl. see if you can find the spectacular "woman in labor" cake. that one IS special
and the baby with carrots cake
cool. i have barely begun.... internet shoppng lookiing better and better. i am not in the mood for malls. cough!cough!
i mixed it up this year, dorens. I can't bear to pay the net shipping costs, but if it is something tricky to find, I would rather pay the shipping than tear around looking for it all over. Then I go online
I need to finish my shopping. but I need to get paid.
Trifoso, I do a lot at Amazon.com and its usually free shipping.
hello everyone. ANyone interested in giving hints? I am stumped for the na6/18.
i figure depending on the site, I often don't pay sales tax, so if i buy enough things from one spot the savings on tax offsets the shipping. + lots of places offer free shipping
Mich, I have it not.
oh, good to know - thanks red, very much!
sory mich
na 6 is the plural of the 5 before it. the five is the word for things having to do with your nose
it's rather amazing to me the things I find on Amazon, remember when it as only books.
Thanks Red, Dorens. Hmmm. I feel like I must be seeing it but I'm not getting it.
Finished the cards, just popped in to say goodnight, see you all tomorrow, Christmas Cards willing :-)
help with the as 5/10 pleaseeeee
thanks Trif! I did not have that.
hm.. who knew hat could be pluralized?
trif - just looking at those cakes make me look like this REFRESH
Thanks Trif! I can't believe I missed that!
night katie
lol owl!
i LOVE this pic! it's ME LOL!
me
can only see the little pic, even after refreshing owl. and i can't make out what it is (these old eyes!)
two to go, both dreaded h's
doren save and zoom
it's an orange peel person! :D
did you try clicking on my profile?
yah, clicking on your profile just gets me your weird little animal... save and zoom came out very weird.. maybe cause i'm a mac? i don't know, sorry
probably...
hey, what's wrong with inlaw? outlaw is a word.....
i think earlier it was decided inlaw is usually hyphenated
ok - later, peepes! *poof*
I don't know why "hemi" isn't a word. it is a type of engine
bye owl. thanks trif. i think mother-in-law is hyphenated, but If i invite the inlaws over it isn't the in-laws
half the weird words i find on here have no defnition when I clilck on the ? mark so who the heck knows?
hemi is an abbreviation for the type of engine.
yes, but at least we KNOW that one. two or three days ago there was some big word that meant a particular kind of regiment in the greek isles. PLEASE!
very important LOL

hi, min!
Hello HollyF! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
I/m doing well, thank you!
I got my $$ because I found someone else who had the same problem
We battled together
yes, it's near work. you can bet the flyers will be up ion the bulletin boards on Monday.
Do you know any attorneys, Owl? A letter from an attorney might help them make the right decision.
Hello Scrabbler! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!
Hi Scrabs

scrabs: i willtake them to small claims court if I don't get it right in a week. costs very little. they are one of theose $2.29 cleaners, i just take my refreshing needs to them, not real cleaning stuff.

hi/bye TO
wowee. I have never seen Lou Dobbs get so excited. He';s taolking about mortgages...goodness.
mi5/20 cat sound
I am not from Mississippi and I am not a history nut.I looked up on this day in history and found out about Mississippi.Was hoping there would be some babblers from Mississippi babbling today.Didn't like icon theme
Hi jess.
ty JEss... strange spelling
I see. Well I have family in Mississippi. In fact my Mom is so close to the AL/MS border that no matter which way you go, unless you go well out of the way, you probably go into Miss. :)
hi all. briefly on again, will be gone away again soon
hi jes
only 1 left.....how about a clue for AS 5/10 ?
yoga [osition lk.
lots of vowels, lkdubb
as5 as + girl's name
hi red, top chef tonight!
Oh gosh yes! I forgot thanks jess!
I have 46 left here.
Go Red....
has anyone watched Estate of Panic on Sci-fi?
not I Jess
got it....thanks guys !!!!!
I don't have sci-fi :(
It is a game show that takes place in a mansion. They've had some cool and some gross challenges.
Clue for al4/5 please?
sounds interesting jes.
al4 al + **, myself & I
The al5/14 is al 4/5 plus the chair letter Kenny Chuck
Hi Kenny Chuck! How are you doing? Welcome to grid
Hi Kenny.
Actually, I am his wife and he does't know I am playing.
there is money in plain sight, and more hidden, and sometimes the walls start to close in, sometimes there are snakes or spiders...
Hi Mrs Chuck!
Thanks Jess in Ken's name.
phantom itch
welcome KC wife
you're both welcome, KC family :)
red,,, how many more?
44...I am sort of struggling.
you?
19
do you need a clue?
Not yet.
ok...
You can watch full episodes of Estate of Panic on www.scifi.com
how can inlaws not be in the dictionary?
thanks though.
oh I watched that show when I visited my sister, didn't realize the name since I just kinda stumbled onto it one nite
maybe because it is usually hyphenated
phooey
I like the show, but I don't think I could deal with the spiders.
Hello LadyNatts! How are you doing? Welcome to grid
thanks Min... you are looking very spiff this evening (your icon)
Thank you LadyNatts. It is the flag for Mississippi. I am honoring Mississippi today. It was admitted into the United States as the 20th state in the year 1817
I wonder how long until we have more states here in the US.
Well, Puerto Rico keeps voting No, soooo.
Would be weird to think of the U.S. w/more than 50 states.Guess Puerto Rico could maybe become a sate
Id just like to see a North and South California
They have a referendum on it once in a while.
Oh, that would be very weird to have two Californias
population wise it would be best to split just north of LA
Red- I like the fireworks in your icon...
is that for all the non finishers (LOL)
2 phantom words for me today are maniac and salami
did it upload?
yes, I can see it
Oh my it is enormous.
thats the magic kingdom.

beautiful
Is this another one of those grids I have to struggle to finish? I gave up on yesterday's because of it.
Disney is all decorated up for the Holidays thus the lights,. i think I need to minimize.
it is ok on your icon
Ahh refreshed, and it is OK in the icon.
Lady I am not really enjoying this one.

I am not enjoying grid either,but have five left so I'll stick it out I guess. I've been off and on here all day.

chinese sounds good
I do not even know Red
but he did say earlier it was not very much
Bye ALL!
I am stuffed.
Hi, all
*Poof*
bye dr enjoy!
hi pam
If there's two ways to spell the same word, how does it decide which one to take the word from. For example, (if 3-letter-words counted), you could spell 'NIL' two different ways. Which 'L' would have one subtracted? Just curious...
From Morocco now pam?
Hi Pam!
wxscoot, the grid chooses it. I have no idea.
wxs, it takes from top row and if on same row, left
hi, red and ice! Yes, ice, I rather like french-speaking places from time to time.... 8-)
Oh....Either way, LOVE IT! I like not having the timer restrictions that most Boggle games do...
getting a carpet?
and as there is only one n, it doesnt matter for nil, but on a similer note, lie would be from the l in the left column if 3 letter words counted
Yes its fun that way...yo uhave all day to finish.
carpet?
Oops... You're right, it wouldn't matter for NIL. But, you got my point anyway...
oo a flying carpet?
=D
I believe the grid will choose the "first" instance (top to bottom, right to left). So, in your example, it would take the L on the left side.
Morococo is pretty famous for Carpets and tricky carpet salesmen.
8-)
ahhhh, red....
I just get frustrated when I think I have the last one in a certain box and it counts for another.
welcome to babble, you'll fit right in wx ;)
LOLOL, ice
:) 24 left....
I keep seeing everyone talking about clues/hints. Is that in the 'PRO' version?
No not really. x, look at the lickey's babble clues link.
Pro means your bland gray head goes away...and a few other perks.
you don't need the pro to get the hints, wxscooter... there is a link under the tile stats... click on Lickety's Babble Clues
yes, be warned, wxscooter... after 2 weeks, your "stats" will disappear... the tile stats and the word stats
unless you are pro
thanks Lady i fergot that!
Awesome! I just clicked on the Babble Clues.
Oh, my stats suck anyways. What is $15 for a lifetime membership. Sounds like a deal to me...
it's a great deal
Hey there y'all! Could someone help me with the English spelling of lack of blood?
Thanks
An excellent deal. and it is nice to see the tile stats...not your personal stats. the gray boxes under the grid go away.
extra voel peach
the English spelling uses ae rather than just e
vowwel
vowel darn it.
it's a great deal! And, I have to tell you, I kind of hate it when someone has played daily for months and hasn't gone pro because it supports the creator of the game--the server and maintenance fees, etc....
Thanks icepyro.
I played for a long time and finally ponied up for the pro. i do not miss my 14.95

OMG pam, you have to see dec 9th Daily show. Jon Stewart takes on Mike Huckabee about Gay Marraige. He was hard hitting, but finnny., In the end Huckabee said well, I just am nto going to marry you Jon.
WOWOWO
oh I gotta see that
thanks, red
speaking of, anyone know anyone who called in gay today?
I really liked the way Stewart compared the protections of Relion to the protections of Gay rights...and Stewart said...I think Religion is much mroe of a choice than Sexual orientation...
I am so jealous Lindrick!

hi all. didnt get to the store but want to do some more grid. 89 left. ugh.
darn it Religion, I can not type.
I am so tired of marriage being construed as a religious entity---there is separation of church and state so why can't i enter into a contract with the state/
Well, people do get married at the ustice of the Peace...
Justice.
nevermind got it
I need to spray some canned air to the keyboard.
right, so why can only straight people avail themselves of JPs in most states?
Me, too re: canned air, red

I play scrabble with my 95 year old mother. It is a very slow game with me helping her a lot--but still fun to do
hi, herin
very cool, jm
we used to play scrabble with my grandmothers -- about your mother's age, actually, but one is gone now and the other rather on her way out.
Because the stupid tafe i was doing my course at isn't doing my course next year. Too bad if you have done half a year.
there is a local singles scrabble groups in town that meets on sunday afternoons
but we play now with our children, and it is a big family legacy for us
oh pooh herin
must go now - see you tomorrow and happy babbling to all!
I played with my son when he was young but now only can get him to play when we are on vacation--his life is too busy
bye TO nice to see you
ciao,TO

HI Jac
alert the OED re: smugnosity (but I think it should be smugosity--that scans better)
Am7 is suffering froma lack of red blood cells.
al5= al4/5 + consonant
jmc - dependswgat lurics or poe, upi are patrodying.
ty jell and pini I should have gotten pinis!
no worries, jm...glad you got them! ;)

i would dig the Qu quotes
i mean qu hints
think King's mate
Yay, Pini!!!!
Hi, Min
Yah pin
thanks Pini!!
yvw
The grid is tiny but mean. Enjoy! I'd have said that befpre if my mouse didn't have a life of its own.
No worries, Jac...I'm fluent in typonese! :-)
HI anyone i missed whilst my pc was having a mental
Damn mouse still doing its own thing. Did not let me type 'before'.
brb...snack time!
what we missed is why your sad is now happy We are all on the edges of our seats
yea, no kidding...hurry, or I'm going to fall off!
Oh i am happy because another tafe offers my course but sad the old one doesn't and they are rude (the new place) I asked when i would get a call back it she was like whenever the other person isn't busy. EXCUSE Me
especially after the bourbon I gave pini!
Well, I haven't found the pic I was looing for for my Xmas letter and I think it's far pasrt time for me to zzzzzzzzzzz,
how rude!
er . . .not you jac
and I may have to pay for the privalage of every course being credited to the new place
thanks everyone I finally finished with a kick in the *** from you all.
wtg gramma
Yay, gramma!!!!
May I help or at least try to?
I know! But ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzanyway.
so what is a "tafe" I keep thinking I will figure it out but haven't
* it would be a party foul to spill the bourbon *
wtg gramma!
I was more worried about you spilling pini!
bourban? what's your favorite?
Tafe is like Uni but home based
oh...ROFL
my course is home based. Tafe isn't
bourbon I meant
Uni. . . university?
Tafe is like uni but less pricey
University
must feed pup and scrounge something up for myself...brb
Jack Daniels except that it cannot legally be called a bourbon in the US because is it filtered twice
Thanks, herin, for explaining. And, jm, thanks for asking, I thought I'd figure it out, too... here's a link, now that I've "caved" and done asearch: http://www.transworldeducation.com/art icles/tafe.htm
Have you tried Nob Creek?
Considering my son is now in the third most expensive uni in the US I am sympathetic with less expensive
Never tried nob creek
maker's mark....
Sorry i am trying my damndest to find this phone number.
Jack and I go waaay back. Good man, that Jack. Makers Mark rocks my world
education is too expensive and viewed too "preciously" here....
I'm sticking with Jack. No two-timing for me.
8-), granma
mmm burbon
jmc, does your son go to school out east? I live in Middlebury. It's quite spendy.
Pam i have done 6months and then i broke my brain.
I can pout you some like I did pini, herin
It was my turn or the alcohol tonight and so I've done wahtever and now I need to sleep. wish me uninterrupted by night flash sleep
*pour*
Jacula, I wish you sweet dreams.
((JAC))
Son is at George Washington Uni. There goes my retirement plan.
nite jacula
may I have a clue for AS 5 pls
night jac
My son is there too!
You are doing great, herin... I am really proud of the effort you make!
He's #3 in the family and he's in law school.
as + Princes Di***
Slwetsleep eith no dreams is preferable.
sleep well, and deeply, Jac!
my son is still an undergrad
What a great school
It is. He has one class being taught by a former ambassador and another where the head of the Ways and Means committee came to talk
thnx, Jellen
I would prefer not to talk about sons with Masters Degrees right now.
We've been trying to score tickets for him to the inauguration and it's his birthday.
hi all. I just logged in ---- am I being dyslexic or is there something wrong with the list?
GW handed them out to students
Hi, autumn
Jacula, pour a little drinky-poo and relax
where do you think the problem is?
hi AM (probably just need to refresh it)
'Night all!xx
PS: I'm back
I still have to get my son out of college!
G'night, Jac
jm, shut-up! No way! we've been scrambling.
Ask him about it. My son wasn't an official student yet so didn't qualify so I don't know the details.
all the "a" words are messed up but ... off to look
jm, he could sell his tickets and reduce his tuition by at least 2 years.
actually I believe they passed an ordinance saying you can't sell the free tickets
I am thinking you need to refresh; cuz everything is cool on my list
My son is selling floor space in his apartment. The city is completely sold out.
already tried refreshing 6 times. not trying it again. Not a problem. ... I don't usually go to list so soon.
AM...you're gonna need the list for this grid! ;)
(so hollar if you need help)
jm, I just noticed that you are from DC.
As I say---I am from Texas but I live in DC. Actually I have lived here longer than I lived in Texas!
I missed that part about Texas. Sorry 8(
Couldn't have seen it! Not there. :-)
I have a sister in Texas. Can't get her out. She loves it. She's been there 30+ years
Autum do u want me to try and then send it to you?
jm, it was very nice chatting with you. Good luck to your son. I'll probably run into you again in the chat log.
Good night all.
I have it up but not in expert
ty nice chatting with you as well. good luck with the inag. tickets
G'night, gramma
Night Gramma

al + two vowels
an = low on red blood cells
(similar to iron deficiency)
an + first vowel + continue spelling in American way
last syllable is ***rophone, btw
Oh thanks.

wow -- just had a look at the Lickety clues -- weird goings-on! All mixed up, with Es and Gs and Ss mixed with As -- has anyone else seen that? I've refreshed and all...
Ok,I'm stumped. Lickety shows as5?? Can you all send me in the right direction?
Autumn Moon had the same problem...
...not sure what happened (mine came out OK)
hi everyone

It's 24 here :-(

I'll have a PB & J meself to go with it...would anyone like some?
sounds good to me, pav
Just had some PB and animal crackers :-)
just had jello no bake desert - peanut butter pie - not bad
Getting hungry again...
my dau messed that PB no bake up..it was NOT good!
we couldn't figure how she did it...
...until we picked up the box...
...it still had stuff in it!!!
LOL
lol
yes, it does pay to read directions and check to make sure all ingredients are a ccounted for...try making a cake without sugar...or mixing sugar with salt!!
HI SAPHYREEEEEEEEEEEEe hugs
I've had my share of mistakes...sh don't tell anyone!
hi herin :) hugs back
oh yeah...PB SOUP is NOT very appealing!
well, I have to chec out for a bit...my latest white choc order was messed up...must find out what/why/ and how fors...
hello
Saphyre we going to still see you online more often?
best of luck, pav...when it's fixed, bring me one!
hi harp
hi jane - bye pav
Bye Pave
hope so herin - finally got my site launched - still looking for a job though
I will take the white choc if you don't want it Pav
Hi, harp
HI Harp
well that's better. i get all the letters in the grid this time :)
Hi Jess and Saphy is that your pink bug?
Easier to work the grid that way, jes...
when it flipped last night...I didn't even get a grid...but found it recovered when I got home from work tonight!
Thought it was just me...
you mean the vw project? That was the bug we built for my daughter for her graduation last year - I just launched a new ptc site - url in profile
yeah; i was missing half of the middle row and the bottom right corner last time
Awesome
Nope, Pini...don't know how long it was down...
hey, peeps
Looking now Saph
Hi, tyger
Hi Tyger
hey, jellen
hi tyger
herin :)
hi tyger
and saph
hey, jes
Jes I have been looking at the pet rescue site shop.
jes, how are you doing with the pup?
not sure what that is, lady
he looks so sweet. I really can't fathom his former owner :(
still got him, tyger.
puppies are almost invariably great with kids & babies
You are aware of Pet finder?
any progress? inquiries?
yeah, she's crazy. i can definitely see where he wouldn't be good with kids, but i don't think that rates killing him.
really? he's jealous?
beautiful puppy - my puppy is a year old already
no, tyger, he's really not; he's too jumpy and easy to scare; he's never nipped at me, but he barks and hides from bruce junior (and he's 12)
there are too many homes without kids where I'm sure he'd do well, then
Yeah lady, i've got a page on petfinder. i just didn't know what website you meant by rescue site shop
oh. nervous, possible fear-biter then. makes more sense to get rid of him, but putting him down is extreme, if a home can be found
This is it jess: http://tinyurl.com/6genz2 I found it via pet finder
there's a link to my petfinder page in my profile, lady
brb...
I assume she was already pregnant when she got him then? why get a dog with that personality when you know a kid is coming???
Yes Jes this is a link to the shop so i can show you what i mean
she wasn't pregnant. i think the kid is her grandkid, actually. not sure of the whole story, but i think her daughter got sent to jail and she ended up with the kid. great family all around, really.
oh, lovely
yeah. they're real winners. frightfully enough though, they are NOT on the list of clients who've made the national news lately. and yes, there is a list.
ah, i see, lady
what list?
I really shouldn't look there as i want everything
LOL, herin
wow Jes. Lovely
well, there was the drug dealer guy who got shot in the head. and the woman who killed 2 road workers with her truck. and the woman who just got arrested for smuggling a monkey back from thailand.
geez - nice people
these are people who've adopted pets from you??
ANd at petfinder I want the Jacob Kitty at petfinder
no, these are clients at the vet clinic
oh. I see. thx for clearing that up :)
no problem
the puppy looks a lot like my Xena
How the hell does someone smuggle a monkey
he's a lab mix?
sounds like she was taking a real chance with the monkey. did he have air, food, water??
no border collie / husky dad and colby pit mom
I like how petfinder has that shop. Complete with if you buy this product it will go to doing this for the pets
oh, sorry, saph. I was asking about Pippen
but your dog is quite a mix! :D
lol she is adorable actually and the most loving little thing
I think jes must have stepped away from her computer
sorry. got disracted
lemme find the link for you about the monkey
most people have this weird idea that any kind of pit or bull terrier is nasty. actually, if raised right, I've been told by those who know that they make *wonderful* pets
actually, i posted it in my livejournal
I want to get '' My cat saved my life"pendant
and links to the vehicular homicide stuff too.
I have a pit bull mix who is a sweetheart!
draggonlaady.livejournal.com
of course, if they're raised just wrong, the only humane thing is to send them to Rainbow Bridge
pit bulls are banned here but you can still buy cats n dogs from a pet store go figure
I got a 404, jes
pippen is 1/2 dachshund, 1/4 chihuahua, 1/4 pomeranian, tyger
http://draggonlaady.livejournal.com/
LOL, jes. that's an even stranger mixture than saph's pup
don't know why it'd 404 you, tyger, i just copied and pasted.
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/12/ 09/monkey.smuggling/
it's a pretty common mix around here, tyger
Xena is a sweetheart - She is very calm - loving, and her only bad habit is eating my shoes :)
oi6 clue?
along with jack-cocka-shit-poo
oi6 is a weird compound: greasy stuff + where there's a will, there's a ***
thanks, tyger
eeeeyuck, jes. what do those look like!!!
yvw, jes
about 4 different things all in the same litter, tyger ;)
is the as5 a common word? I'm sure I've tried every combination possible
LOLOLOL
lol sounds interesting
no, harp
as + Princess Di***
as5 is a yoga word
it's a babblet, jane. yoga position; every other letter is a vowel
thanks, i swear i tried that!
oh, excellent, pini. what I was going to type wasn't nearly that good - and much more complicated
I'm even in an as5 yoga class
going to read the story. BRB
my, my. the women lucked out that the monkey wasn't carrying anything. the monkey's luck wasn't quite as good, but at least they didn't get away with it!
**********stretching into a crouching tiger position ***
hi ruru
hey, ruru
What wiill they do with the monkey
where's the hidden dragon? ;D
hi SAPHYRE oops Hi Tyger
sent to a refuge
yeah. takes a special one
not going to go there...
so CNN says
hiya herin
Hi Ru
everyone done?
hit the wrong key by mistake, didja, ruru ;) :P
yep
I am.
hahahahahahahah! no, ruru, got 30 left
been talking instead of looking
BRB
no - out of practice - still only 1/2 way
hi ruru!
I finished, just here to clue and chat...
me 2
HI pav.. congrats jellen
well I am clueless so let's start there jellen...
lol
I bought a painting I have been wanting for a long time today
Oh yah ru
someone in this group recommended a Playskool toy, the bouncy baby ball shooter, or something like that. It was about three months ago. Does that ring a bell for anyone?
sa clues? for anything longer than 4, really. i have the hot food
not me I have not that faintest clue about kid stuff
IT was me. Hang on what do you need??
IT was me. Hang on what do you need??
sa + hair pest - e
sa6/18 = "female" spelling of sa**** solution (medical)
one is like the liquid you squirt in your eyes without a different ending vowell
and pl
can anyone help me ind the al5/14?
and its plural
that's find
one is like the deli meat without the middle vowell
back
you mean the bouncy baby thing, was you, infernal?
sa5/12 = italian hard sa**** - middle vowel
*snap* ruru!
al4/5 + consonant, jilli
i am fairly sure that or feather
al + not you but ** + a cons jill
what do you ned to know?
Impressed by herin's baby knowledge >...
ty ru
well i wanted to say that I bought one, based on the babble recommendation, and gave it to my nephew today.
HE LOVED IT!
OH. Cool. Maybe it was feather. I recomended the rainforest range of kids stuff
Ru I used to work with rugrats
*** bows to the great herin's baby knowledge ***
that got me halfway so I'm reasonably happy
oh... that explains it..
what did you do, herin?
Yah Jill
wtg jilli
i think it was both of you actually! he's 2 and it was perfect!
come on jilli one more...
this wasn't a bad grid, jilli, but I know you could handle being twins between now and Christmas ;D
that way it would be easier to git it all done :D
sn5/12 please?
Tyger childcare. I have a shiny certificate and everything. I like kids its just parents that need a smaking
too right, tyger!
sn5/12: sn + remains of wood after fire
sn + what's left after burning
LOL, herin
sn + cigarette droppings
almost a snap, jellen :D
what is THAT supposed to be? thanks
ty jellen
GMTA
my fave unword is snile
it's yet more Scotch dialect
I looked it up, jes.
THat and some childcare workers
snile is halfway between a sneer and a smile
the Scots say a lot of weird sh**!
–noun 1. insolence; impertinence. –verb (used without object) 2. to use abusive language; speak disrespectfully.
my point well taken then
right, ruru
thanks, tyger
yw, jes
to5 and 6?
and almost a little out of it jilli ...lol
I wish I understood why there is SO MUCH Scotch vernacular in Enable
t + boo boo (injury); then pl
what a little kid might call his toes jes
to5: to* (to pull) + 2 vowels
pini, you're too good at succinct clues :)
oi. i thought that was with a double vowel on the end
a lot of scotch at my desk when I play babble too lol
thankee
har har ruru
* blush * thx, tyger
anyone see kiwi lately .. or it she up to her ears in love with that attorney
Enable has a lot of whiskey?:)
LOLOL, saph
yes saphyre .. get with the program...
I haven't seen her...
lol I said I was out of practice :)
Kiwi? Love? Attorney? I'm out of the loop!
she met this guy several weeks ago, thru a matchmaking site
her ex - husbands best friend and kiwi are doing the wild thing
lol
That's how I met my guy :-)
is he really a friend of her ex??
yep
Met Eric in a chat room before most people knew there were chat rooms
best friend.. it is too juicy..
I just know she talked about some of the guys she was meeting thru the site - including the one who proposed, and another who wanted to move near her
kiwi is HOT stuff on this site apparently..
I am really happy for her.. she is having a ball
there have been marriages on the maillist I used to belong to that began back in about 1994. there have been marriages thru my fave board (Straight Dope) - at least one international in both cases
yes, she deserves some fun
Good for Kiwi!
al5,14 please?
al5/14: al + not you + cons
al + not you but ** + cons jes .
snap, ruru
recently clued below
thanks
yes, it was
ch6?
but I think it's scrolled off
great minds tyger...
i think i tried every consonant except that one!
ch + vowell + woman's name harp
ch6 is the slit in the roof of a bird's mouth
a babblet
ch + vowel + Princess Di***
ch + vowel + Santa *** winds
an7?
an7: Brit spelling low hemoglobin
thanks!
an7 = alt spelling of iron deficiency
well, I got rid of all those weird A clues which were ea and es and ge -- this grid has been strange from the start -- or should I say unstart!
lacking iron in the blood with an extra british vowellin the middle
d'oh. thanks
hiya Jilli!
silly brits with their extra vowels!
hi pav ;)
don't you DARE say silly brits!!!
only john cleese is silly
more than John Cleese is silly...
How about Jamey Oliver
not so, jilli. the guys from Red Dwarf were also silly.
Benny Hill is silly
oh well, maybe a few more.
not jilli, though, or jac. I *dare* you to call jac silly. she'll have you for lunch
Our Brits however are class personified
or Haz
or several others I could name :)
I've been having some "gourmet" white choc mix sent to me, for quite some time now, and for this latest shipment, they sent some god-awful dark choc mixes that are more expensive! seems they dropped the white choc for a "new blend"...Hopefully they'll credit my payment and I can find a new supplier...
words like the an7 are based on Latin and Greek anyway
remember, jilli was born a Brit
Ja,ie Oliver is not silly! He got me started in cooking....
sounds interesting, pav...I've never had hot white chocolate...
Jamie...where's my spell check!
sorry.. I cook too and he is a total goof
oh, PAV. they shoulda sent it to me. I don't care for white choc; adore dark - the darker the better
ditto, tyger
me too...dark..dark..dark
Well he did marry after becoming famous...
white chocolate tastes like wax to me
not me....white or milk!!!
she is goofy too
"to each his own" :)
well, technically there's no such thing, but sugar is sugar in any form...
thanks for cluing all. you's the rawk!
good white is the best - cheap white tastes like vitamins
rawk?
I like bittersweet choc - esp. bittersweet dark
the whowhat??
so true, saph...white chocolate should NOT taste like chalk!
ditto, tyger -- my mother's fave too
yup. rawk. like rock, only kewler. or something.
OH there is a great ice cream store in SF that makes the best and I mean the best bittersweet chocolate ice cream
Pav what was wrong with your choc?
it's white chalkolate
jes is beginning to speak Babble...!
scary jesss
lol jilli
I lurve hot fudge when it's been kept hot long enough to get more concentrated and a bit bitter. ohhhhhhh so good over French vanilla ice cream!
jilli!
jes id totally babbling. it's bed time here. ]
tyger... you can stop that now..lol
ROFL, jilli. I agree
why, ruru?
now I have to run to the store and get ice cream..
ill have the dark chocolate
I am so easily persuaded
good eve mi'Lady...I love hot white choc...and I was sent three canosters of a dark/milk/white blend and the reviews are mixed...if I wanted dark, I'd have Hershey's it's much cheaper and amore available...
ya'll have a loverly night. and if you know anybody that needs a christmas puppy, send 'em my way.
and I mean the super-rich French vanilla that's so rich it's yellow
ahhhhhhhhhhh
err. I like chilli hotchot
sweet dreams, jes
stop it
nite jess
G'night, jes
you too, tyger
ewww, herin. You'd have made a great Aztec :D
nite jes
I like Ben & Jerry's vanilla with little bits of bean scattered through it -- not too sweet
night Jess
thx, jes

I don't want my ice cream so much sweet as rich. it ain't ice cream if there's not enough butterfat in it
You get just 2 squares of dark chilli choc and melt it in a mug of milk (or soy in my case with extra flavour)
I make homemade ice cream sometimes
christmas puppy? That's a BAD idea
my best is ginger -vanilla
when can I come have some, ruru? :)
not if they want a puppy, jilli. i don't recommend surprising someone who doesn't want a dog; that never goes well.
I have to bake a pear tart first
Jill the puppy was dumped on Jess.
I wonder if that could be a cheesecake flavor? hmmmm?
what, PAV?
sure it could pav
ginger-vanilla
christmas is too busy a time --puppy needs full-time attention at first
pear tart. that sounds interesting. I've never had a pastry made with pears
steep the cream in chips of ginger for 20 minutes and strain off of it
amen, jilli. preach it!!
yeah; but i need to get rid of him. and the sooner the better for my sanity.
Joey needs attntion constantly!
and this little guy needs a home as poor jess is getting broker and insaner by the day
how about the poor pup's sanity?
pear tart sounds good, ruru. I don't care for peach pastries. they cook too soft. what kind of pears do you use?
I love you jilli
he's already house trained and all; so he doesn't need attention that constant.
jilli, the story is in jes's profile
how old is he, jes?
poor little guy
he'll be a lot more sane in a permanent home than getting run over by my big dogs here, jilli.
he's 7 months
I use comice, or bartlett, or Bosc
ok, will look at the profile -- sorry for jumping in on something I knew nothing about
no worries
very sad
that's what they said about Joey...he leaves me "gifts" when he's upset at me for whatever the cause...
ones that are nice and firm when first ripe, right?
No worries. Jes how is the other dogs going/ the first two you fixed
toss them in a little lemon juice and sugar and cinnamon and nutmeg .. firm is better
nice, pav. this one has had one accident in the house, and was really my fault. i heard him pacing and whining, but didn't get up to let him out.
I want some, ruru
:)
I wish I could show a picture of it..
the first two? that was ages ago, lady. which do you mean?
I wonder where the pup came from -- good breeders take pups back when they don't work out
My cat chases me about the table
he's a Heinz 57, jilli
the woman i got him from thinks she rescued him from somewhere. i didn't bother to ask where, because if he was worse off than he was with this woman, i didn't want to know
half doxie
...and I have a peed pad which Precious uses dutifully when needed...Joey, not so much, but he does try and I'm mostly to blame for working longer hours
Jes the 3 legged dog and the one eyed pomy
sigh, tyger!
but i doubt very much he came from any kind of reputable breeder anyway, since why would a reputable breeder be mixing 3-ways?
an interesting solution, PAV
they're both doing fine. the pom was adopted by friends of a cousin of mine, and is completely inseparable from the gentleman.
jes, is that him in your icon? Looks Lab!
I am trying to cut back on hours since I'm not paid for them...and he is overall a blessing...

ruru! <200
the border collie was adopted by one of my assistants, and is having a great old time running around in the woods with her other dog
wish there were mandatory neuters for mix breeds - actually, all pets
oh wow fireworks with less than a minute to go tx all
