tells stiddie itts best to scroll back an hour in the chog and read up lol
it was lovely, jill -- as expected. the roads are a little icy out our way, but not too bad in town. Not fun for driving, but safe enough if you go slow

night ruru
oh dart .. been lurking?
been here since flip...in grid
ow wow Kiwi, great plan. And you will do it. Wait until you see how much more beautiful your skin becomes :)
firewords now
and the money you will save...
was a great plan when i signed the contract back in april lol now im not so sure
congrats dart
gratz dart
knew that was coming ..bravo dart
wtg dart
hiya sprite
YAY dart!
kiwi, read the archives, read your profile. WOW. changes all around. I am proud of you.
and ive lost another 6 kg in the last 6 weeks
go kiwi go!!! *waves at departing parts of kiwi*
wow Kiwi, you are blooming like never before! Your ex must feel so rotten, grinnnnn.
you know what i dont give a toss lol everytime he comes to get the kids i always make sure im dressed up lol
yay for dart again :D !!!
i so flaunt it at him lol
*giggles* That is what I mean, and wtg Kiwi!
si 6/7 combo
ok now that ruru has gone lol i need advice of the female kind
ask away, Kiwi
oh oh... *looks around for lurking males* what's up?
though it may surprise you how great some male advisors can be on women subjects
ok this guy that rocks my world at the moment has MS i see right passed that so does anything think that just cause his legs are out of whack hes not ok to be with?
so does ANYONE not anything lol
bottom row greyed
I think that he is afraid of intimacy and so has decided it's not worth trying.
Or perhaps he is afraid of rejection -- or doesn't want to become a burden to someone.
nope, Kiwi. As long as you are really happy together, the heck with bodily limitations.
oh thats not the problem stid lol
I mean -- the emotional intimacy.
yeah there are lots of things to do by getting off of your legs...
oh geeze ruru
ooooh. that ruru! *tosses blindfold for his execution* that is mean!
and as long as his ha**s are working properly... ;)
lol .. I couldn't help myself..
intimacy on any level isnt a problem its not what i see or he sees its how others perseve it
to be blunt, it depends on the kind of ms, if it is in remission, and how it is expected to progress... have church friends... he was a valuable teacher with ms... now barely knows his name
*puts a rubber ball into ruru's mouth and gags him properly*
dee this guy is doing a fast track part time mba - fours years into two and is a private secretary for a minister of parliament
**mummpf*
yes, I have heard that can happen with MS. and a friend's sister has it and at this point is allergic to everything... including the medications that help other people.
how others think about it is not important, Kiwi. You cannot please the whole world anyhow. Follow your bliss.
fantastic! What is his prognosis?
I agree with sprite
the thing is kiwi, people with MS sometimes have great intellect, but then the disease progresses and they don't.
on the other hand... my own belief is that if you love each other, then you take the time you have, whether it's 5 years or 50.
that is what I was asking stid. If his is kind they don't expect to progress, being in a wheelchair really isn't a big deal.
true stid
but even with a bad prognosis, it is sometimes better to have 5 great years with somebody and live with the memories, than be afraid to lose him and live with the fear.
snap, stiddie
LOL sprite!
very true... as long as that doesn't hurt the boys
he gets around on crutches and his motorised scooter which is a cool ride lol
we could ask my tom -- he has had to deal with multiple issues of mine for the last 17 years...
*giggle* He wouldn't want to do without you for anything in the whole wide world, stiddie. No need to even ask.
how did I get down to 105 all of a sudden?
i dont know if this would end up as anything long term permanent because he is fiercely independent but im happy to spend time with him for as long as we get to spend it together
I think stid just types and the words find themselves
I think independence is a good thing -- and being a committed couple shouldn't change that...
did you get to your party last night jill?
then that is the only thing that counts, Kiwi. Enjoy it, and him, and take the consequences, both rewarding and tough.
take some time with it kiwi and it will sort itself out
*thinking ruru is right*
thats what i thought dang needing the self confidence booster shot again ty all
**takes off execution bandana and hightails it away from stid***
nothing wrong with that either, Kiwi :) Remember you are my hero.
argggh off to the sin bin with sprite
hug, are you still short 4 8's?
I read your news sprite.. congrats you have time now without pressures.. that is good news
I don't have a single 8 yet..ugh
thanks ruru! Am happy with it indeed.
stid, the party was to be today but was postponed until Wednesday -- roads here were impassable , not to mention the driveway, which still is. Lots of parties postponed or cancelled -- the bridge one tomorrow. night may be, the library one Tuesday afternoon definitely.
the an 8 is stupid
it is stupid or it means stupid?
better postpone than have accidents getting there, jilli :(
ok i am exiting stage left with 69 to go but im still pooped from the party yesterday and didnt get to bed til after midnite last night so need to catch up on some zzzs lol
glad it was postponed, should be better mid-week for shure!
hugs my dear friends i still lubs ya <------------------ this much ---------------> even if im not here all the time to remind you all lol
sleep well Kiwi and keep up the good work, grinnnn. Love you. *hugs*
silly word... against a noun...
have a great time, kiwi!
night kiwi...
LOL kiwi!
and sweet dreams
but not liking poo is not valid. Enable is weird.
news? sprite? what did I miss?
nite my friends
stid, I finally got the official letter that I am granted my invalidity benefit. For 9 months at least. After that, a reassessment. And if that works out as expected, I will get the benefit for at least 5 years.
congrats sprite!
thanks Dee
oh good, sprite -- so some breathing room! *relieved mama look* I will take you off the "urgent" list and put you on the back burner...
you are very welcome; that must be a great relief for you
bye for me.. I am so happy you are away from that evil employer sprite
sweet dreams ruru!
ci 6 x 3
can I take the gag out now?
lol stid, yes that is perfectly ok! Better yet, very soon I will get the letter from my employer that they will fire me. After that, lots of peace and quiet. No longer having them rattling my cage just for the fun of it.
I'm missing 2 c's Dee - so 2 of those are what I'm missing - thanks
thanks ruru, so am I!
sprite, I hadn't seen that news -- good indeed!
you may, ruru, if you'll be good (and I think you are)
yes ruru, you may. but only if you behave yourself!
please do... you are scary with a purplish red face
please do... you are scary with a purplish red face
yes ruru, you may. but only if you behave yourself!
oh oh... I think babble died on me.
you already did, ruru, you naughty one!
just the 2 am hiccup
I just love teasing kiwi.. she is so much fun
I just love teasing kiwi.. she is so much fun
and down to 92. me to sleep for real. *hugs sprite and everyone* will see you-all more often for a few weeks, NO MORE SCHOOL until the middle of January! :-D
that stupid employer just sent me a letter to tell me they are going to lower my nett income, because I am ill for more than 2 years without them firing me... which is their fault, because they neglected to report me being ill to the correct department in the company... so my husband is writing to them again about them having to shoulder the burden of their mistakes, and not we....
lovely, stiddie! Enjoy the free time and relax thoroughly. *hugs* and sleep well!
*poof*
night stid
anyone know what e's come from the top e (3 words) tile?
that stinks sprite
nm found it... es6
yeah, but I leave it to hubby. If I start thinking about it, I end up being exhausted and panicky again and that while I am doing pretty well in staying more level with my feelings and energy. So the hell with them. Er4 is one.
er4 x 2 and es6
seems to be corporate culture these days... do whatever they can to delay benefits, regardless if they are due
ty hug & sprite
my computer is being goofy and really slow again tonight
I had to reboot earlier
then it's been better since
It takes about 20 min to shut down and reboot. It's just awful
totally understand that!
my first HRM manager was a great one and did leave the company very soon as a result, lol. He realised the best way to keep people motivated and healthy was to give them their due, in salary and in appreciation, and to listen to them about things not going well.
where did he go after he left?
he went to a great company that shared his ideals, got to manage one part of their business and did so well he got to own it.
wow glad he was rewarded; must be a great man
ha 6 x 2 ha 7
he is, and he is still very dear to me. We always kept in touch.
perhaps he can advise your hubby on best wording for letter
my hubby has his own knowledge on that subject. But actually, it doesn't matter much. The company I worked for is very incompetent at handling its affairs and you cannot predict anything they will do.
very sad
good to be almost away from it
for sure
first time I am going to be fired and never thought I would celebrate the fact, lol
LOL

I used to do that. I did get my brows done the other day, when I got my hair colored. why is that lame?
so now it looks like i have perminate make up on.
Colour difference. I am not used to it
Carlee you been spoilt today?
no one is UP yet herin.....its only 6:30
hey, it could have been worse. As they say here in the south, "the carpet should match the drapes." Think of dying THAT!!!
wow
but no..noone will spoil me... I prefer a quiet birthday wihtout fuss or muss
Um my drapes match the tiles in the fireplace. Himself did it
lol herin
seriously. I thought it was funny that he matched it not me
whatever turns their cranks...hehehe
were you a sex in the city fan? there was a brilliant episode where samantha had a dying disaster....bozo the bush!
oh..one of santa's reindeer in the grid today..and it counts
thanks carlee! what a sweet clue!
woot! greyed all the w's!
I"m missing hte wo6
do you want a clue? (I always ask, bec some people like to find it on their own, and get pissy if you hint without warning!)
its too early to get tetchy
clue away
wo6 = not as good, with an extra cons
herin, did you see my backsplash photos in my profile?
thanks trif
w greyed
no looking
WOW Trifs that is a alot of work
thanks herin. I am so proud of how well it came out! though I do pity whomever buys this place after I am long gone, and might have to remove it. Good luck with THAT
why did you do it then?
how's the pond tri? is the heater working ok now?
because I love it, and I have no plans to move. Hey jac! havent' checked it this morning - my only worry is that the heater was too close to the liner, and we might have a melting sitch going on....dread
the liner can actually take a fair bit of heat i think
YAH.
I will find out later! certainly can take more heat than the fish can take anoxia.
hello everyone!
nods
Hi Jac
hello lady
and hello tri, sorry
morning annie!
hello Annie
hi jacq and Trif!
HI Annie.
Trif who is that pretty girl in your icon?
hi herin!
my oldest daughter, in her role as "chocolate" in the Nutcracker suite. She got Chocolate, how awesome is THAT??!!
tri, that backsplash is a work of art
well done to her
trif, good for her
OH WOW Trifs
thanks jac! it's not everyone's cup of mojo, but I love it
WOWOWOW Trifs
you've got your own little splashy back there, don't you jac? ha ha ha
I love the Nutcracker It was the very first ballet i saw
i think it's lovely and you should be proud of yourself
hi all the grid looks yucky!
I've never seen the nutcracker...
Happy Birthday to You, Carlee!!!!!!!
hey Lynn, i managed 111 so far
thanks annie :o)
Trifs I was very lucky to see the Australian adaptation with one of the Prima Ballerinas performing her last season
Hi mama Lyn
carlee, it is really lovely - the first act is way more active than the 2nd....the 2nd is a bit of a grind, I must admit.
it's not too bad to start with, but 19q's??
WOW herin, that is great!
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
wert
jac, they really are doable. I have 15 of them without even thinking that hard. Course, I don't have the last four.....
ooops, Im going, Im going
it's okay - I will have my daughter dance some chocolate in there for you!
Oh thank you, Trif!
i have 12 of them so far
Trifs I saw Madam Butterfly too the ballet. For free. It was a lovely evening. A lady was stood up by her friends so we drank her wine and had a wonderful night
annie, whilst you are in there, write this down: The power of one, Bryce Courtenay. It's the best book i have read in YEARS and I am boring my friends stiff going on and on about it....
way to go, herin!
I would love to see the performance of your daughter Trifs
Trif, Just jotted the name of the book down, will definitely read it, thanks
thanks herin, you are such a love
annie, chapter five is tough, but stick with it - that's the worst of it, and the rest is AMAZING
trif, will do
how cool - darth vader's kind in the grid!
it is but Jedis not
wo 4/8 lAST ONE THEN W'S DONE?
well, largely due to the absence of a J, dear one
go Lynn
ah got it
qu 7/44 first one?
oh, primo's real first name is a phantom today! :)
ok that was really dumb of me. In the past we have had Jedi but not accepted
lynn - qu7 - those who speak
qu7 --those who give up
I was just teasing, herin! I think you are quite brilliant
oops - yes, what annie said....sorry lynn
actually past tense of those who give up
I am now enjoying my first cup of coffee so my clues might be a bit clearer
I swear my hair dye seeped into my brain
herin, is it burning?
no
But I put more blonde in and i get dumber
hmmmmmmmm qu 7 im not seeing it
herin, not your brain, your scalp? see, I am still not clear
i qu7 smoking last year
Its all good annie. Its a standard saying for me
have that 1 first 1 jac
man oh man, I have hit the word wall! they come so easy at first and then wham!
ok..i feel brain dead this am....maybe my brain skipped this day...doesn't wnt to be a year older
I have just laid here and pretended to see words
OK that is bad english
There's a GI virus going around my Mom's assisted living facility. I stopped by on Sat. just to drop off something for Mom. Wasn't there very long. Now I have it.
OH BIchon Hugs
hey, one of Santa's reindeer is in the grid!!!
I looked at CNN this AM and I see that another place in NC has the same thing
rudolph?
hehehe...that's what I said ladycece
no jacqs...the "sprinter"
cool!
oh, bichon, I am so sorry - stick to the BRAT diet - bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast....
herin, you are in the grid today!
I don't think I could eat anything.
bichon, so sorry, feel better soon
Thanks to all for best wishes
lots of fluids then! you need at least an ounce an hour to avoid dehydration
I know, it's easy to say. I think teas
gatorade.....it works...
be careful, though - caffeine tea dehydrates....
Also handy hint. Bleach bleach and bleach. The loo and anything you touch
"flu " season..i stock up and EVERYONE knows its HANDS OFF.... until the season over
(actually trif, it doesn't, the amounts of caffeine are too low for a dehydration reaction)
I think my husbands already been exposed.
Hi Ata
I bleach the loo every day. Not those anti bac wipes
I'm not here, you can't see me, I just walked past and had to mention that about tea!
oh, okay, I stand corrected! thanks ata
Do dogs catch GI viruses? I sure hope not. Don't want to have to clean up the results.
ok..hi ata who is not here
lol I only know that cos I looked it up a few weeks ago when husband was refusing to make me tea when I had a stomach bug! I proved to him it was ok :P
*waving to

I was refering to nono, who has never heard of puffy combs
anyone need any clues before I go?

153 please jm :-)
thanks Jmann but I'm doing ok
do puffy combs suffer from edema?
I don't know what that is, br
Haha, maybe he does.
what does he do? puffy whatever, such a silly name
it's swelling trif
I think he was a singer, now he is an entrepreneur of sorts - cologne, vodka, reality shows
is he a rapper
n
more r and b I think, I really don't know. I just don
Hi Inge

know why he is such a big deal
I passed 100, woohoo. astic

Ooops, but not word anyway.
ok lilli - lets start at the beginning = AA 4/5 = the plural of what you'll say when you finish this grid; AD 4/5 = AD + I am, you are, ** is; etc. etc. etc.
* Why do dogs chase their tails? * They want to make ends meet.
woohooastic certainly should be a word = and good for you! this is a big fat piggy of a grid
don't stop now jm..there's still 149 to go...lol
It is a long work day for me--home after 8 PM, so I don't have the time to finish this.
I think if you may in 6 you should be able to out 6
any residuals. Scrabbler?
Yes, BR?
but that would be too easy for you lilli, what's babble without a little struggle?
I am at a good place to stop (112/144). Time for breakfast then off I go. I will miss all of you. Enjoy the day.
be well, Scrabbler
have a great day Scrabs
bye Scrabbler - I'm off too, good luck everyone
logging on is struggle enough jm, especially when i have other things i should be getting on with...i like an easy life sometimes!
bye scrab, hope you have a good day, take care
don't we all lilli!
got all the Q's - time to go get some errands done - BBL
i know, this game is worse than smoking and i gave that up, but i can't give this up!
bye scrab
by wv
i have been so surprised to find out how many people I know in real life that babble....
i suppose it's healthier but it deos nowt for my sanity!!
bye wv
just watched local weather news and altho it's 55 right now, in the next 15 minutes it's going to drop to 42, then there's a good chance of sleet and ice this afternoon--guess I won't be driving up to my mom's after all!
une, I like your icon today!
morning, all. playing at work, in between phone calls.
it's for carleecat
ahh, that's a shame une
for her bday :-)
it is healthier, and sanity is overrated
hi fuqua
yes, I knew we were doing that, I just really like yours
half way -- now what?
glad I found out before getting on the road!
hey, nan!
aaawww, thanks, trif
hello Une - not sure if you saw my earlier question on what you thought of the play Doubt and Cherry Jones?
hi une
she's prefer you to be safe une
uhhh - finish the other half, cybernan?
oh, sorry . . . actually, my daughter and I were disappointed . . . love love love Cherry Jones, but the play itself wasn't what we expected . . . oh, well
hi une and everyone i missed. buried in the grid.
hey, skooj!
hi skooj
hi - 5 below zero here...arggggg
I agree, I love her, but when I saw the show, I thought she was overacting a little. And the play wasn't exactly what I thought
trying to remember what I saw her in quite a long time ago -- was wonderful . . . hmmm
The Heiress!!!!
the heiress? or moon for the misbegotten? those are the one's I can think of off the top of my head
terrific!
ah, you beat me to it
:-D
I saw her in The Father, and Christopher Llyod was in it too, and it was amazing
used to make annual theater pilgrimages to NYC with my mom, then with the Will to my Grace, and now with my daughter :-)
was that a play or movie? Not familiar with it. Not the one by Strindberg
amazing to think she's from little bitty Paris, Tennessee!
it's a play
talent comes from all around, but it is funny to think that some of the best actors came from tiny places, not the large metropolises we think of
true . . .
and we in Nashville, of course, are proud of our Reese W! LOL
my ex coifs her mom
also coifs Al Gore! LOL
So, the more I think about it, I think The Father is by Strindberg, but just doesn't sound right - about a man who may or may not be the father of his wife's child
that's true, you have lots of talent over there
OK Dishes done, clothes in dryer...some email done, running watch charging... I sure would like to just nap...
red, your flickr pix are soooo wonderful!
homegrown talent and talent that moves there (and I'm sure some no-talent that moves there as well!)
Une thanks!
i thought you were just deep in the grid red, would you like to come and do my ironing, than you can have a nap
LOL!!
gotta run . . . BBL! :-)
jmann, I have no idea who wrote it - it was about a father that goes mad, and the set was so well designed - as the play went on the set changed, so that by the end the room they were in had tilted walls, flipped over pictures, etc. everything externally suggested the internal madness. it was very effective
bye une, take care
No sadly, I must go running and do a rather yuck training session at gym...I hate to iron.
ironing is good exercise aswell!
yes but I hate it. I just dont kno why I am so tired.
that would have been great to see - love sets that make adjustments throughout the play - saw one recently where the ceiling of the house slowly kept coming in closer to the actors and the back walls kept moving downstage so was boxing them in - play was ok, but the set was cool
i agree!
so do i...hubby normally does it as i'm not suppose to but he is a t a course so i'll have to do a bit
sorry, the ceiling on the set, which was a house, not the House as in where the audience sits
are you working over xmas red?
i knew what you meant...one of my degrees is in theatre, so you are safe with me
I'm a sucker for a really good set, something inventive
* What kind of socks do you find in your backyard? * Garden hose.
hey babble - who's Irish, and likes to stay out all night?
patio furniture
lol BR, are you going to keep the jokes out of crackers this year?
Trif - undergraduate degree? Do you work in theatre?
jack o lantern?
no, patio furniture!
jmann - yes, it was my undergrad, and yes I have worked in, for, around, by and with theatres for years, but not right now.
did you hear about the two antennas that got married?
the wedding was disastrous, but the reception was great!
no?
lol!!!
good one!
Oh I am so so disappointed. I apparently forgot to enter into the lottery for Canyonlands Half Marathon so no its closed and i cant. So sad am I.
lol pastor
oh, I am so sorry red....but don't iron instead!
but if it was a lottery you may not have got a place anyway red
I had a gaurenteed entry because I ran last yet.
yes...iron...mine pleeeeaseee
But I had to register.
oh, sorry red
ah, doing what? I was a production manager, but now back to stage manager
Oh well...will look for something else. No ironing for me. I dont on an iron.
own.
much easier just to put clothes under the mattress and lie on them, save electricity!
jmann, I have done every job you can do in theatre. I have been in the cast, the crew, designed, built, and lit sets, made costumes, directed, run publicity, dressed the cast, run the props, sound, etc. You name it, I have done it.
wow, no wonder you don't work in theatre now, you've done all there is to do!
Good morning everyone!!!
I would have thought there are actors who at least could dress themselves
hi pini
I just woke to a blanket of snow!!! It's gorgeous outside!
Hello, Pini
Pinik, you have an odd snese of humor there.
Babble how are you enjoying your weather?
Well, at 23F, I'd think there might be some....but until last night, we hadn't seen any this year!
hello, cold enough fer ya?
oh, isn't the first snow exciting! good for you pini!
hi harp
you would think that actors could, and some can, but there is a reason for the term "Actor proofing" everything onstage - if it can go wrong, actors will find the way to do it
seven foot drifts today where yesterday there wa none
Yeah...the puppy stopped dead at the door because it wasn't the normal green!
Oh, it's cold, alright, jane ;)
I am enjoying Fl as alays....lots of green.
I suppose I'm rather excited because we usually get snow for about a week in January...so this is "early"!
...and it's about 5"-6" worth, too! not the normal dusting that's gone in 2 hours
followed a snow blower that was clearing a path to a main artery that had been cleaned blower got stuck had to back my way back home
Sorry BR. and congrats Pinik. i bet puppy loves it.
how cold is it, BR, where you are? it's 5 below here.
Oh, yeah, he loved it so much he pranced like a deer through it for a few minutes, but then resorted to staying under the eaves where he could actually see the wood on the porch. hehe
our puppies' hate it.
High 60's here!!!!
well, i'm off, for real this time - good luck everyone
you're killing me, red
bye jmann
Fair -14°F -26°C

dakota kids...i'm from SD, rapid city
I was there a few years ago before my aunt passed away for a convention (Germans from Russia Heritage Society).
one of the people I worked with wrote a book about the Germans from Russia
Really, BR?
yes
How cool!
I've traced my family back to the 1540's...
(the German side)
history tells a story of the courage it took to settle a land in sod houses with winters that were harsher than the onew now
I've learned soooo much about just that...

st 8 == reagan's first familiarly and what sometimes comes before a toc
Well, I got all cocky about the 100 words i found in ten minutes, but now i am halted at 116. May list. BabRab's clues rock though!
well, I must absquatulate
hi uni...yes br is a godsend
if you say so babble...
(not knowing what absquatulate means)
absquatulating is his favourite thing
What are you absquatulating with? Usually refers to running away with something, it seems..
with his clues
hi ata
oooh im so gonna remember absquatulating
I just got back from absquatulating. 3 miles only and miserable.
(sure you are)...
i know hyperbulting, that was the only thing i can remember from school!!
oooh new golden piccie ruru!
*hyperbulating
I'm making more gingerbread cookies Ata, any requests?
transsexuals!
hi rolin
That is the Dad of my new puppy that will be coming next year
wb red
Oh ruru, sure you dont want Teulu, he is slightly broken in...
that is a good looking dog ruru
ata, you would like a transexual gingerbread cookie? that is a new one....
is that a gingerbread man with a wig?
ginger drag!
ask uni :P
funny! trifo
actually, "Ginger Bread" is a pretty good drag name....my fave is still "farah moans" however....
lol from project runay
yes, exactly! Hedda Lettuce was good too....
ru, beautiful dog, makes me miss my misha - has been almost 5 months now, about time to get another
I know what you mean..my old guy is gong to go sometime soon and I cannot live without a dog
misha is a nice name for a dog...
the farm is not the same without her, we got her when we came here
do get another..it is very healing
teulu would like to join you! i am not sure if i want him to leave tho...
yes, we do intend to but couldn't for a while
get a rescue or contact a great breeder
we're thinking of watching SPCA
our daughters have their eye out for an adoptable
5 months is a good time gap
Or I can send Teulu to you. He chewed the carpet this week and I am a little not so pleased with him (and myself....)
yes... when we get a third it will be a rescue dog again.
yes Ata, agree
how old is teulu
ask Jesdraagon, flosey
is Jesdraagon in Canada Ata?
I know she's a distance from you, but not impossible, and she is always getting in adoptables
he is almost 3. carpet cheing I am sure is my fault, it a fairly new recent thing.
mid Washington
Jes is in the US in the west.
you can crate him when you can't keep your eye on him?
ah, too difficult to cross borders
Yes, he's crate trained. I suppose I should, he just never really likd the crate...
oh :(
goldens love crates if they are set up with bedding and comfy
When he was about a year old, he had an explosive diarrhea accident in the crate and has not really enjoyed it since.
why is it difficult to take a dog from US -> Can?
oh..that would do it
poor thing
you could feed him treats in there and leave him for a few minutes at a time
just being generally inquisitive now
Can I admit that he somehow did this chewing while I was present...in the shower...
hubby finally up, time for breakfast, bbl
off to pack,bbl
Our puppy Tucker actually ripped up all the linoleum in the family room in one day.. a very determined dog...
Fortunately most labs and goldens stop being destructive at 3
Ata, I'm just assuming, not sure, but neither of us have passports
ah yes! I see your point :)
you need a passport to come in the US?
yes ru
Hi briefly folks. Read a thing once where this woman came home to find that the macaw had let the young boxer out of the crate (later confirmed by leaving them alone with a camera) and then the dog ripped all the wallpeper off to a certain hight, and the bird ripped off everything he could reach from various perches like curtain rods. Nearly floor to ceiling annihalatio, a real joint effort.
OMG!
I foolishly let mine expire a few years ago
teulu has benn a very good boy, overall, just a few shoe chewing incidents...and etc.
Crazy.
must go, bbl
I recommend getting him used to the crate red..it is your answer
brb more coffee needed
Saskia will chew up Walter's toys if she is left along without having had enough exercise, which sadly occaionally must happen on my work or school days.
I must say that it helps Walter remember to puit toys away!
Hobbit never chews anything *smug*
Walter has just pointed out that we are all animals just like monkeys. That's my boy!
hi everyone!
Hi!
He also just walked into the dining room and counted the days on tha calendar until Christmas. He is eager for Christmas because then he can eat the candy canes he hung on the tree.
Anyone seen Crossy today?
Phantom: thresh
hi mg
Hi TO! I seem to have scared everyone else off! Oh well, they'll creep back after I go away in a few minutes...
any w words longer than 5 letters? please?
Volcano alert.
Not that I have yet, sorry!
i haven't seen one yet fuque
thanks anyway. just can't seem to find that last wo...
wo6 rhymes with the tight girdle women of previous century donned
Anyway, if anyone does see Cross, please tell him I'm working on his wolf but my one good tool broke so I may not have it to him before Christmas.
Hi everyone!
Hello!
hi muse
Thanks for the weird word!
hi MG and TO
ty, my muse! that is a weird one indeed
yw :)
ty that killed my w words
Now the dog is barking in her sleep.
Phantom: stid. Someone tell her if I miss her!
terrible lag here - anyone else having issues with site accepting words/
OK, Enable will not accept quorn. This pleases me onlye because if it had been updated to be modern enough to accept that ot should darned wiell accept internet too.
slow loading chat
No lag here!
no lag on my end
well small delay
It could be (on my end) just that I spent the day at work where the computer is so slow I can enter a word, go to the kitchen and put a pot of coffee on, and come back to wait for the word to be accepted or not.
Everything seems fast after that.
OK, time to put the pierogis on. Have fun everyone!
bye, mg
hagd MG
anyone else need a clue ... have about 15 minutes before I need to get moving to do some Xmas shopping
well i can't list here, so if you could list the eights i would appreicate it
i have an 8 as8 st8
sure: an8/50, as8/45, or8/50, qu8/60, sh8/50, st8/40, st8/50, st8/45
ty muse! now to FIND them LOL
lol, the sh is a Hindu word
well i have an sh6/7 hindu words - little shacks
add another consonant at end, one you would never think
ty for those telepathic clues!
lol yw, ends opposite of how it began, like a circle?
very zen. no wait, that's not a good reference at all! :0
lol, think they all have a common thread somewhere
now one would think a qu 8 would be easy, also the or bird one.
only if your mind goes in that direction, or you are familiar with the words
but i know the root word, so it's killing me
make an adjective ending
got it, i was fat fingering it no wonder i was frustrated
hmmm, muses over the phrase "fat fingering it" ... typo?
yes! :)
lol
ok ty muse, i must go walk, it's nearing 60 hear. ty again!
yw TO and I'm off to do some shopping :D hagd
is the qu a common word?
an 6/30 clue anyone I had to hit the list

I was going to make banana bread as well but decided that was far too much
Dont overdo it Ata, you make me feel guilty

Hubby is getting the screw driver out now, seemingly the wrong screws were in it so it wasn't ALL my fault

hello all
Hi briefly all. Just wanted to pass along... if people were going to tell Crossy about the wolf, sadly the lack of my good tool has proven nemesistic, and an ear broke off. I have to procure a new piece of stone and start over. So don't get his hopes up; it'll be a little while yet. Sigh.
hi jill

congrats beth

Hooray!

beth, maybe they can soon go to a golf cart community? Less dangerous crashes, as they dont go so fast.
they like the condo they are in, I really dont know how much longer they will be going south. Mom is gertting loopier, and dad is getting crankier so...., the problem is mom has reynaud's syndrome so the cold is terrible for her
no 7?
maybe permanent move?
no 7 is the adj form of the no 6
no+beginning of ri4+spasm
ty -- could have sworn I tried that more than once!
ty bethn
that would kill my sister and me red. they are at the point where they need someone at the doc's for important visits, (he is deaf, she tunes you out when she is nervous) so we would be flying south on a regular basis.
Ahh Beth, I think its time for you all to come to Paradise.
I dunno why I like it so much, its pretty blah, but I am trying to figure out a way for me to stay here.
st 7, please?
i dont know if me, mom and dad together again would qualify as paradise and you cant make me live near my sister again.
;)
one who st5
sorry -- should have specified -- st 7/32?

granite-like
if st7 32 is a word, i think he5 12ish should be as well

I prefer wise ridgies Br

I suggest an Elvis song might be appropriate
no, not really peri, but it would not be politically correct to complain, many of the members have a gazillion birds
which song Br

Une, are you EVER gonna tell me what your name means? Football club?
thanks, jilli!
football? nooooo
your cat is very graphic
trif, if une doesn't I will
thanks tri and une - don't think i would have ever monkeyed that or recognized it as a word
it means "a gir/woman from Aix" . . . I studied in Aix-en-Provence and was married to an "aixois" for 11 years :-)
well! mystery solved, thanks!
"girl
yw LOL!
gotta run out to the ballet school now - like just about every other day of my life! be back tonight....

must go get lunch, then wrap presents and do other Xmas stuff -- bfn
just took giant pan of 4-cheese veggie lasagna out of the oven/1
bye, jilli :-)
Oh Une, when shall I be over? And what can I bring?
a nice mixed green salad??
and a very dry red wine?
I have it. Nice greens, tomatos, a tiny bit of purple onion...celery...some raisins..
raisins?
hmmm
an adventure for the tastebuds!
really good with bleu cheese dressing.
drive carefully, red--roads due to ice up in a couple of hours!
I could try to bring wine, but not a drinker...
* Why did the invisible man look in the mirror? * To make sure he still wasn't there.
Ice????
Oh no. I gotta stay home!
no prob--I've got some wine :-)
hi all. raisins in salad nice touch, but i''nn' in the 25% who can't touch onions
good one, BR!
would most likely do the same if I were invisible..
nDan! How horrific and awful!!!!
i remember being TERRIFIED of the old Claude Rains "invisible Man"
no onions? how sad!
love garlic & scallions, don't 'nn'iss the'nn'; friend can't have onions or garlic - that would be hard
in the South we put onions and bell peppers in EVERYTHING :-)
Hi Babblers...is there an antidote to caffeine? I've had too much coffee and feel REALLY jittery
let me go home I feel so broke up I want to go home!
hello, chiley
BR :-)
'nn'akes eating out a challenge; unfortunately, 'nn'ost who should avoid are not aware unless a test is done that that causes their sto'nn'ach/intestinal probs
hi chiley.. time maybe, lots of water and subsequent trips you know where
dan, you can eat scallions but not onions? then you're in good shape

afternoon everyone
**peeking in at the grid** Hey Babble Family !
hello, jes and Aussie
BABRAB !!!!! Long time no see !! How are you ??
doing okay, Aussie hope you are too
I am doing kinda ok.... My insulin jabs are making me bruise a little :0)
cor blimey, did I step in the room and scare everyone away ??
no, aussie, it was pretty empty when you got here :)
Hey Jes !
so is the insulin a new thing for you?
Well, I was on it when I was pregnant (3 years ago), but then went to tablets..... Then things started going a littly awry, so I am back on it again, new like 2 weeks....
ah. not the most fun ever. :(
hope it regulates out okay though
er, no, not really..... Blooming horrid, if I do say so myself !
happily, i've not had to inject myself. got a cat that gets insulin twice daily though
Well, I am hoping so this time...... Insulin is not the nicest thing in the world.... Even worse, I am terrified of needles !
oh no, that's gotta make it rough!
can be difficult to maintain a consistent blood sugar level and diabetes is so insidious
Well, if it is going to help me live, then, all the better for me.....
I am trying to get it between 4 and 5 mmol before meals, and between 5-6 mmol after meals.... Right now, It is 7-8, and 8-9, so I have a way to go yet !
good luck with that. but you're right, is much better than not having the option.
are you taking more than one type if insulin?
Better than it was before the insulin though.... It was 13-14, and 14-15..... SO I am happy to keep sticking at it !! ha ha !
Yes Babrab ! 2 types, one fast acting, one slow for overnight....
fast acting 3 times a day, and one slow one for overnight..
twice while in the hospital, nurse gave my Mom an overdose of the wrong one
OH NO !!!!! Not the best thing in the world !
same nurse, br?
no two different stays
I have Humalog during the day (fast acting), and Glargine Lantus (slow) at night.......
hope it wasn't too serious
same ones my Mom takes
cool ! At least we are on the same page then !
she was fortunate to have already been in the hospital and got pumped right away
hi folks
hello, peri
hs
sorry about that
cant type very well
Hey Peri !!
Babrab, does your Mom have tablets too ??
Whats wrong Phan ?
hullo, Peri
and phand :)
iatrogenic and noscomial
no tablets that I am aware of
nothing's wrong; was trying to type a word and only got those 2 ltrs...
I have Metformin 500mg and 850mg......
Oh !....
I took the kids and myself to the dentist this afternoon and we all got clean mouths with no cavities!
woohoo Phan !
you all get smiley faces
That's is exactly how I feel!

ATA !!
aussie!!!
**falls over looking and seeing 19 qu words !**
I am not liking the i words either, Owl
*pcik aussie up off the floor and waves smelling salts under her nose*

**hugs TO**
the young docs are back buries what some do to facilitate a riot
Yeah, TO, te kitty in my picture is fostered too :)
Sure, Ata, I can place dogs to pretty much anywhere. Have to do health certificate and stuff to get to Canada, but that's not usually too big a deal.
ty br those were needed!
the who do what now Babrab ??
still missing four
Flosey is looking for an adoptable ... she lives in BC
What's she looking for? any particulars?
in 4 is etuiesque
ok, 10 qu's down, 9 to go !
in 4 --- preposition
a biggish dog, I think. she's had farm dog type dogs before. anyway, just thought I'd mention it as a possible potential maybe!
in 5 --- hey, bob, this is fred
I don't have any right now, but there is another dog rescue here in town that likely does.
those three i's in a row are killers!
have you homed your little black pup yet?
in 4 --- add **me waits for no man
Yep, got him placed Friday (the day the cat came in, conveniently enough)
oh yay!
'course, you never know, i may have another dog tomorrow or something too.
yeah; heard back from them today, they really like him and he's fitting right in with the other dogs. so that's happy.
i thought he'd probably go easily; little and young both work for him.
how wonderful! yay for pup!
tonis
how is the salmon commission going, Ata?
one letter short, TO
not liking the N words now
gah. stupid thing. designs - I think the *4th* round of designs - are with the client now

Arrugh Just managed to disengage with my sister on the phone. What an interesting issue. She thinks she is getting a Divorce in February, but has not yet really discussed it with her Hub.
why Feb?
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
To get through the Holidays I guess.
what about Valentines Day and my birthday, they are both in Feb :-)
Well, Peri, she could get divorced to celebrate your borthday!
there are way too many S words today
I wish she would stay married.
Dinner...
bbl to finish, 34 left
evening all

TY Kazzer. I have Lasagne in the PB, its whats for dinner.
aah nice red - fancy some ice cream though - its1120 pm here bit late for lasagna
hi jen!!!
SOrry Kaz, but there might be some in there. I didnt put any in there.
teehee
I had lasagna for dinner with a nice salad
thinks carefully and brings some with her - green and blacks chocolate
Wild annie, I am having and I think Uneax also made one!!!
Hi Lu
I still only have a shadow head
Annie how are you, and How is Bobby?
Wow, triplets! I made a huge lasagna yesterday..my daughter came with her husband and my two grands so we have lasagna again tonight. It was better than yesterday. Bobby is just fine.
Is your sister planning a divorce? I hope not.
jen, did you see the word families to the dirty word and its past tense?
wonders who else made lasagne.
It appears so Annie.
yep
I wish I had made lasagne--leftover lasagne is wonderful. Hi all
Red, I am sorry to hear that.
Hi Nonnie!
It has me really confused, but...I think she has made her decision.
red, I am sure she gave it much thought and maybe it is for the best. Divorce is not an easy thing to go through.
I am a bit worried. But it seems she is very unhappy and he is not wanting to talk about it, but there are also 2 boys under 6 yrs....
Clue for the an 8? I am sure it is an against something word, but against what?
red, that is awful...with children that young. sad.
boats
I agree. They were married for a while before they had children too...

dorens, how was your weekend with phoebe?
been on antibiotic for nearly one week now, so who knows.... horrible cough too, but the fever did go away with the antibiotic.
yes mam
;)
it was wonderful annie. it always is. probably should have just stayed home and rested, but it was so much fun. She is hilarious and makes me laugh my head off, which exacerbates the cough, but that's ok, it's all worth it
How old is she now? I remember when she was born.
almost 2 and a half... time flies, no?
I cant believe it. She is our babble baby.
yes, and i ihad just begun babbling within the month of her being born, so I can always date my babble beginning with her birthday

Its not too bad Jes, but I am feeling piched with 39 left...
Hi Pam, I just sa you!
hey, peeps
Or DR, oops
hi, tyger :)
ha6/27?
hi, red and tyger and all
hey, jes
hey, pam
ha + E**** Bunker, Archie's wife
Thank you uni!
yw :-)
I'm just sticking my nose in for a minute. not doing today's grid. unless I feel a good bit better tomorrow, I'm going to emergency. my doctor agrees that I need to be evaluated; 3 concurrent infections, and stomach pain from 2 oral meds
oh, tyger, I'm so sorry!
oi, tyger... that sucks
Tyger, good luck.
Oh, Tyger. I hope tomorrow is a better day.
sounds as if you need a CT scan.
yup, jes. it does
sticking my nose in to say - prayers will go with you tyger - from me in NC
I dunno, turtle. whatever the doctors say
thx, lex
I can use them :)
hi all. sh8/50 please. and hope all is well tyger
yVVw
got a UTI, cellulitis again, and a fungal skin infection. only the UTI is responding to the med, and that sloooowly
thx, dorens
hi, lex and doresn
hey pam
oh, yeah. and with my thermostat set on 76 (normally I set it on 71-72 in winter), I still wind up in layers. I'm COLD :( get shivers
fungal skin infections and I are well acquainted... Antibiotics never work for me on those...
so you see why I need more analysis & treatment
ha7
Fever? Have you taken some tylenol or Motrin?
Sounds like you have a systemic thing going on, but red would know better....
not aware of any fever, turtle. I
oops I've been seen 3 times in the last week, and temp "normal" every time
but you do need more looking at Tyger. Sure do wish your Doctor would order the tests and admit you directly rather than send you through ER
I agree, pam. it's like my immune system has shut down
plural of ha6, holly
well, I'll stop depressing y'all. I just wanted some people aware so that if I'm not around for several days, people will know why
i agree, red. It seems liek the doc is encouraging mis-use of the ER
that would be nice, turtle, but he didn't
Thank you again Une
Tyger, I am concerned, not depressed!!!!!!
not depressing, tyger, just sad . . . sounds really miserable!
tyger I would say a prophylactic dose of tylenol might make you feel a bit better. Hoping fo the best for you and you are not depressing us. More concerning us.
and I dread ER
yw, holly
st 50,please?
could this be the dr.s way of working the insurance
Tyger, ask Doc if he can just direct admit you....ER is not a great place to be...the beds are hard, its noisy and people have other things you could catch.
thx very much, guys and yes, une, I am pretty miserable planning to go lie down in a few
some are so silly the way they want things handled
take care and let us know what they find . . .
turtle, I don't know why he didn't, but .... and I'll probably go to a different hospital than the one he's affiliated with, anyway
could be, lexie
well, thx for all the good wishes, etc. hope to see y'all soon
tyger... so sorry you are suffering so much
(((((tyger)))))
feel better = GET better - that's an order!!!
In general docs do it so they dont have to take the time to write admission orders etc. But whatever the situation Tyger, I hope they get tothe bottom of it. Go early int he am for better faster service, like at 7:15... ;)
thx, DR, lexie
I was thinking noonish, turtle
that is so true red!
it seems to me they're busier during "rush hours"
get up early go UGLY - they will feel sorrier for you and get you in!
act it up
and evenings ..... I don't think so. that's one reason why I plan to wait until tomorrow
I gotta get my son to take me, and he (like me) is pretty zombie-like in the mornings
you are miserable ... tell them that
oh, DR, I definitely intend to do that!
you can always plan your emergency ahead - call in - are you busy??? I think I will be more ill when you are less busy!!!
and as you know already... be yoru own advocate
I'll consult with him shortly about when to go
LOL, lexie
I will, DR, I will. I intend to carry a list, and my son is great at making a big fuss
later all, and thx again for all the sympathy, concern, etc
perfect!
you have been ill for a while now and I am worried
The way the ER works as far as time is that it is MOST busy between hours of 3-3 BUT...
It starts to get busy at 11 am...Worst day is Monday, so you avoided that Tyger. Second worst day is Friday.
me, too. DR. that's why I decided I'd better get proactive
Tyger I think maybe you need a few days of IV antibiotics and to visit with maybe Infectious Dz specialist...
bye, all *poof*
Good Luck Tyger...I;d get you in if you came to my ER.
good luck, tyger!
g'night, tyger, feel better soon

kal- strict and not day
we had an early dismissal thursday, and a snow day friday
COLD, feather... I don't like cold! *whine*
st8/40 same first three letters as the preceding words and opposite of day
nun behavior + most of not day is the st 7
stid: stop using those 4 letter words or we will have dr_god ban you...
maybe will make gluhwein or something for one of these evenings.
LOL TO!!!! *giggle, gasp, choke*
I don't like cold either but it was in the low 60's today. supposed to get much colder tomorrow
gluhwein? what is that?
glue wine sounds toxic stid
hi Owl
ruru, may i ask a wine question, speaking of :whine"
yes
Is that ELmer's reserve Stid?
gluhwein is a red wine with spices, served warm. yummy!
ST 8/45 pls
I don't like red wine, but I like gluhwein
ohhhhh! ok.
like mulled wine then stid
down to 12...

st + Mr. Reagan's first name + sucking insect (Phan)
Last courier here...will see you all tomorrow
I have to look for a wine without sulfites and sort of sweet
local winery is selling a holiday wine - very spicy. they keep telling me it's made with "grapes" i just nod my head (what ELSE would it bemade of)
bye big bro
hi peri
well technically wine can be made from anything that ferments...
sucking insect?
got it
going to read for a while, see you all tomorrow
night peri
later peri! stay warm!
well they are also selling a cuvee blush which is also made from grapes i assume.
g'night, peri
night, peri. willyou be available for lunch sometime soon?
down to 9
second TO 6/21 please?
go Stid go
feather, how is Daniel?
four!!!!
go stid! go stid! go, go, go stid!
sothe question is what do they mean? do they mean plain old grapes as opposed to a varietal?
One hundred and twenty six!!
117
there are fruit wines to TO .. don't know..
go scrabbler go!!!! *gets out bowl of popcorn and settles in*
Go Babblers go!
why can't I see the 1st TR 4/4?
to6 has suffix meaning sort of, slightly
still telling me his head, ears and teeth hurt. i called his ped today to let her know and ask if i should be concerned or not, and she is switching him from amox. to augmentin. he had the sinus/ear infection for a week before the amox, has been on the amox for 8 days so far.
probably, TO -- spiced wines don't really require very fancy and rare grapes to be decent
thanks grant
ci6/21 before the often candied fruit please?ty
yw
i loved it, could not drink too much though. liked it chilled vice hot
spicy grape varieties are ZInfandel, Petite Sirah and some Italian varieties... it depends on what they used.
change that last vowel
Sounds like grapes though for clush wine.
but if carlee comes on, you might ask her -- since she actually makes wine
it's called sand hill winery erwinna PA
cold enough fer ya?
I will google them and check it out
I still can't find that stupid TR 4/4
and it's 18 bucks a bottle. pretty pricey.
just about, harp
(TO to the PB)
I feel like I tried all combos but obvisously missing something
what you do w/ars
(would hate to tell you how expensive the wine we sell is TO)
oars, sorry
Do saline irrigations up his nose/sinuses, Feather, at least 4 times daily.
oh at least i didn't use a word i don't have :)
that is tr 4/8
I need 1st TR 4/4
tell me - i dasly say i have little taste for wine.
not sure if he'll let me. the thought did cross my mind. would saline nasal spray help at the minimum?
well, the second TO 6 isn't showing up for me...
good.. it is good for you in moderation
(of course, that's assuming he'll let me do that more than once)
nor is that ST 7. help?
tr+ french and
you need to put a digraph on the end of the heavy weight
sort of like a 2000lb weight stid
can someone please clue seoncd ci6/21?ty.
thnx you so much of course I was only using the upper T
use a different vowell from previous TO
I have the first to 6... am I looking for a different ending?
oh! yes I was!
just like the first ci 6/21, but a different vowel
ty. es6?
Feather, tell him that you need to give his nose showers, to drown the germies.
second ci 6/21 is like the first diff last owel
ci 6/21 uses the same 1st 3 ltrs and regan
different last Vowel *sigh*
es + most of the holy tr***
scrabbler, you are a genius!
oooh, good idea! k, will try tomorrow.
GOT IT!!! FIREWORDS!!!!
and done!
yay stid!!!!!!
ah, ty again!
YAY phand!

*hugs everyone and sneaks into kitchen*
**hands cold towell to stid***
st7/32?
*tries to wander after stid for scraps*
scrabs, i have a friend who is a dentist and made a poster of germs peeing on one's teeth to get kids to brush.
eepp... I've just had a long day and I have 90 words less and you people are telling me the puzzle did you in??
seated at table waiting for Stid to serve dinner
90 words left... yikes, I'm doomed.
And I am done too, with just 124 remaining.
st 7 is most of the as 8
good night
i've found that showing kids their pets' teeth is a useful demonstration. never yet found a kid who wasn't disgusted by a horse's teeth.
Owl, that is a good thing for kids to imagine.
scrabs, no finish for you?
Yes, jess!
i tell daniel he needs to brush the sugar bugs away before
great clue phandmd
scrabs, i guess it makes the point.
I worked all day and just got home. I am ready to get in bed to read, snuggle with Bunny Sebastian, and enter REM sleep.
aw, what a cute image, a real live snuggle bunny
down to 7
go Jes
i still want a bunny. sigh.
It's really fun during the night, to wake up and find him on the pillow next to my head.
Go Jess go!
where you at, feather? i've got a friend that's got a never ending supply of rabbits she'd be happy to give you a few of.
don't the other bunnies get jealous?
i have 3 cats. 1 that i know for sure would thank me for the fresh lunch.
aww, feather. my rabbit is bigger than any of my cats ;)
They each have their own rooms, Owl, and I sleep in Sebastian's room...or he lives in my room, however you look at it. He is especially bonded to me, unlike any rabbit I have ever had.
It's hard to predict, Feather, but would be risky for the bunny.
do they get along jes?
too cute.
yeah, that's my gut feeling scrabs. i'd hate to do such a social experiment at the expense of a poor bunny!
hmm. there's a big clump of sh words i don't have.
Yep, Feather. OK, off to bed for me. Good luck to all trying to finish. See you tomorrow.
dunno, feather, the rabbit lives in a cage. i'm a bad bunny mommy. but she'll have an outdoor fenced pen to run around in next spring.
night scrabs!
night, scrabbler.
g'night, scrabs
night scrabbs
sh6/21 please?
Small shack type of dwelling with a vowel at the end

firewords :)
they can be good if they are not toooo sweet.
thanks for clues, all

wtg jes!

they are quite swwet ans spicy. *sigh * wish i could learn to enjoy wine, i hate that woody oaky flavor. can bear riesling though
and the cuvee blush which is not aged in wood.
try beaujolais sometime.. nice and not much in the way of lumber on it
especially from a good producer. THey are low in alcohol and not expensive and really good with food.
alrighty. off i go to plot and plan and scheme on a new cavy cage :) nytol
the naked grape wines are not oaked
later, jess.
they have a really nice shiraz
i have had some white zins that were good but my bro turns up his nose when i mention white xzin and suggests chardonnay
There are few white zinfandels worth drinking
chardonnay is too sweet for me
?
does he drive a BMW TO?
lol ruru
How many words today?
i just want to look less like an alky when out. i prefer liquor and with as little embellishment as possible.
lol TO
256 words
Thanks.
I think it is easy to learn about wine.. it isn't that complicated...and it is fun too
*sigh* no but his inlaws all drive mercedes and saabs. he is a carpenter by trade now a road/project inspector for goodness' sake!
I was just teasing TO..

It's amazing, the availabilities of wines in different places.
Hi, Tri

Hello Dahling! I still can't figure out the last "W" word! GRRRRRR!
isn't that the truth, jilli!
jilli? what's the weather doing now? sis just flew in from Comox ... said the roads were treacherous driving to the airport
Boston, ru
that was horse.. oops
pam pam pamela! (That's what my daughter calls my friend pam)
After a grueling retail season, I like to treat myself sometimes. Nothing to dip into savings, but a treat!
LOL, tri
hey car - have taken mighty sleep aid, so this won't be a long babble....
pam let me look at their web site and let you know what is good there
hey car, do you have abc family on?
Share with the rest of the class please!
No, not tonight
(I love my job, but it was a pay cut when I got it, and after I was dumped and bought the condo, budget concerns took hold)
Thanks, ru!!!!!
herin - are you still here?
I have that DVD anyway.
Yes Trifs someone was at my door
herin, please meet my sister, Car. eeyore. Car.eeyore, please meet the VERY lovely Herin - she is an aussie, like my beloved Waifs.
I told them I was in the 'in the middle of something'' HI CAR
You can't tell what your pic is!
but you know what it is! If you click on my icon it's clearer. And say hello to herin!
Trifs that is awesome
Hello herin!
herin Secondo is lovely, isn't she? Even when she is all scrunched by the weird icon elves.
I am confused...in the small frame it looks like she is in the dance studio, but when you click on it, it is the white background.
waves. Secondo is lovely
some very odd words in this grid tonight
she would be even lovelier if she would fix her turnout....(spoken like a true stage mother!)
(car...refresh your screen - hit your F5 key)
"tris" isn't a word. humpf.
Back down there, babe1
Does she wobble on the out? or foot out?
not usually
OOooh! F5 is freaky!
omg, how many drugs did tim burton take during the filming of Willy Wonka? It's on here at the mo...
what does she do on the out then?
did it work, car?
pam you still here?
huh? I am dense today herin
Yes! Whoooooo! I wish I could use F5 for so many things!
yes, ru, though I am loving Philly tonight
I know, right? where is the LIFE F5?
how about these:
What does Secondo do wrong on the turn out?
finally firewords!
yay, natt!
YAH NATS
OHHHH - duh me! Look at the foot she is standing on. It's pointed to the side, not straight on. Bad form
GO
Go nats!
La Rocas $11.99 (spanish), Vidal Fleury Cotes du Ventoux ($8.49) ROsemount Shiraz Cabernet $9.99 and Paul Autard Cotes du Rone $10.99
UPLOAD LIKE THE WIND ruru!
IS that going into or out of the turn?
the VIdal Fleury and Autard are french
I have no idea
Awesome, ru! And TOTALLY REASONABLE!
because it looks like the photo was taken a second after the start
now I have to get something to clean my keyboard.. that unexpected sneeze was disghusting
What do you sell???
the ROcas is delicious and the Fleury should be really good too
me?
Or "push?"
bye all! have fun with the grid. enjoy your tuna, ruru!
Lady Nasty!
and that is GROSS natts
really expensive california wines
Trifs that is still a pretty dress
bye!
thanks, she got to play "chocolate" the spanish dancer. CHOCOLATE!!!
I have e-mailed them to me to print the list, thanks again!
YAY NATTS!!! Sorry -- I wandered off, and Coronation Street is on -- roads here are sheer ice when plouhged and I'm snowbound because I have nobody to do my driveway, or rather, the pile at the end the plough left.
YAH
That's MY girl!
just buy 1 bottle of each pam and try them over two days to see if you like them individually. Then I will have an idea of your palate and can recommend more
I frankly don't know much about wine, Ruru, and rarely drink Californian...
these are different styles
OK, thanks, Ru!
some of my wines are $2,000+ per case wholesale
brb
jill - this is so funny, and totally true - my M-I-L is in a nursing home, with Alzheimer's, and the residents there LOVE Corrie Street, a) because so many of the players are the same one that it is reminisce therapy, of a sort, and b) the stories go really slowly, so the residents can remember the stories from one day to the next (some of them, anyway.). Coronation Street therapy! The latest thing!
I have wide range of wine taste and an unsophisticated palate.... such a prole I am!
bet you will love the Las Rocas..
have to shower back soon
bbl got to cook din din
Wish I could just run out now, LOL
Thanks again, ruRUru!!!!!!
sounds like a plan, herin! nite nite!
STILL can't get the last 'w'
does anyone have a hint for the to 7? is it a compound building off the 4, 8?
i think I know what it is, Car - try the wo6, 30, and add an extra consonant to the end....
OK, its the wo6 that I don't have!
to7 -- sort of urban
sorry - I meant the wo 5, 18 - the one that is not the best
TY Jillibus
thanks jill! that did it. Did you see my coronation street post?
How would I add a plural to that?
it's not a plural
Yay Trif!!! No, I didn't see the corrie post -- when was it?
9:22 jill
the wo6 was my second-to-last word -- add a cons to the least good
Sorry, just not getting it.
Oh great, trif!!!
wo + cons + television ***
Doxology please!!!!!!!!
wo6 -- w + either/** + we use a tea*** for a tea party
es6,please?
Sorry I am still very remedial!
praise god, my sister got a word, praise god this babbling is absurd, praise god we babble all day long, praise god I've finished up this song....
doxology? Parise God from whom all blessings flow...
ty all I got it!
Yes, but I didn't!!! es6?
Trif and I sing the Doxology whenever we get through a trial...
See, I typed parise instead of praise, and that describes some of enable's words
es6 -- es + cheap jewelry is a ****ket
but sadly not in this grid, jill
oh darn, trif
car. I hope your eeyore is the real thing and not the Disneyfied one
Brb, must start cooking my supper (pork chop marinated in cheap red wine and stuff, baked spud, mashed turnips)
Jill, I have many eeyore things; even disneyfied; but I do prefer the classic renderings more than any others.
help with the pi/6 please?
there are two - how many points?
nm - they are the same value. do you have either?
I have the one relating to a fruit

thanks trif - finally found it.
the second pi6 it what a face scarred from smallpox looks like. I saw many in Shanghai in my youth.

ah, I see, trif.
trif, I bet he calls her his Mum

thx pini. I am down to 85 left. Amazing what can be done while hubby is channel surfing - for a couple hours
the embarrassment of publicly revealing I can't figure out the clue is just as bad. sigh.

No our carpet is crappy gray and its the drapes that matches the tiles

I have seen Harry potter movies a lot and i just spotted something i haddent before

Hi Jilli
herin? what's the potter scoop?
what did you notice Herin
In Prisoner of Az I didn't notice the Grim dog in the sky before.

I did not know that
how clever of the director or whoever thought of it
clue for an6 after bug past tense
dbl the last vowel
an6, pl of cut-up
DUH! TY
Yep. When he is in the air just before the dementors attack there is a dog cloud. I just looked up at the right time
something the kids and I have been puzzling over: there is muggles (us), Squibs, Wizards, witches, but there is no word for a person born magical, but who chooses NOT to live in the magical world. In the infinite cosmos, it has to happen sometimes....for example, if Lily had been magic, and Petunia was too, but chose to live a Muggle life with Vernon.....
oh, spooky, herin!
Maybe they become unmentionables
maybe. I think being a squib is the worst.
oh, feck - off to the PB again....
mugglemanaics? mugglephiles?
Down to 31. off for a break....
oops, timer dinging.. back after dins
Filch is a squib
that is why he is a horrid man. Did you realise that Hagrid
s broken wand is in the pink umbrella
so's that old lady that used to have to babysit harry. Mrs. Figgs, maybe? primo would know....
sh5/12?
Mrs Figgs the crazy cat lady. The reason she had to be horrid to young Harry was so that Petunia would think it as punshiment to see her
NM, got it
I dont have it Holly
share the love, holly, please!
sh5 = get out of the sun and into the sh***
Oh twisty grid

damned with faint praise, ruru? Remember there would be a shape underneath it

because it goes into big screen and my net is laggin
I am guessing 75 for the new grid
I wont 5000
500 even
oh well, don't know the ins and outs of your weird net, herin, lol!
I'll second that ru, so much to do this week
Good morning all - flip happens for me at 8am and have recently often started late - gone to bed aiming to finish in the morning and either squeaked in or not made it at all by 5 or 10 words
hi flosey :)
Neither do I Jill. It is working now so im not winging
whinging even
ah jilli, that's the top you were telling me about last Monday?

I made the one I loved to much, sure wish I could find one like it today
wow floesy. you are one hot lady...
lol ru, I wish, that isn't me
JILL your gd will love that top. I would love it
thanks, herin -- thought she might.
thinking I have to clue that woman more often...lol
I would be too afraid to damage it

I think it's pretty tough, herin -- over 40 years old and still swinging
ruru -- mid-sixties, henry mancini time
