whee, dee!!!
much better grid than lately, that's for sure
with all the consonants on the left; not so many twisty ones...lol
yesterday's stank. Big time.
WOW dee!!!
may I help anyone before I leave?
true sprite
I'm short 2 of the 7's
Too right, sprite
I have ae7; es x 2; he x 2; me7; re x 2; st; te x 2 and tr7
am not often disliking a grid, but yesterday's had too many words I had never even dreamed of before, lol.
still one BT -- that lone E, lower 4th column
Jilli, did you see where I had told you what it started with?
I surely cannot find on of the es 7;s
no, hugs!
fe 7/40; sh 7/36
ae8 and es7 are the same except for sp var
i just got HE 7/8
thanks Dee
one es is a past tense of an es 6/18; other looks like the ae 8 minus the first letter
yw hug... any others?
no luck so far, jilli, but am looking :)
it's em4/6
found lots of e-words from other tiles though, that could also have come from this one, grin.
7th letter of Greek alphabet et 4
how do you know from which e a word comes? I can never remember.
ty hugs, got it right away, blasted babblet
first tile in the grid with that letter, going from left to right, top to bottom.
because it doesn't work any other way
and what sprite said
smarties
so NBT :)
wtg jilli!

geez I had the sh6 and sh8.... didn't think of the 7
take care volley
thanks Hugs, got the blasted babblet now
goodnight Dee - thanks for the help
yw jilli and sprite
AE 6 clue please
brit sp for anaesthetic, mlf
am being bugged by pronto, and am not even sure it would be valid if it weren't a phantom.
ty and AE 8 is related to teh other two?
no, mlf
first 3 letters the same?
but it is a brit sp for a sensitive art lover etc
first 5 letters
ok ty
3rd letter not the same
in the 8
thank you jilli got it right away
yw ruru
*cleans glasses and squints closer*
lol
I bought a new monitor - 19"- hoping to be able to see better. But the print is still sooooo tiny. I can barely read it
can you change the resolution, hugs?
do you run windows?
the monitor came with instructions on what to set the resolution. I've tried others and it distorts everything something terrible
yes I dow - Windows xp
*do
I've tried changing the font size. and it changes it for the tabs, pop up windows, ect. but not for this site
ok, that is stupid of windows then. If someone needs a bigger font, he or she is bound to need it everywhere, right?
you'd think
now why doesn't "mash" register. I am always finding actual words that don't register on the grid. Hmph!
try this huga...go to tools ...internet options...accessiblity (bottom right button) then check "ignore font sizes
I remembered there was a setting for people with diminished sight, but sounds like that is very Microsofty done.
registers fine here, Minkie
wouldn't for me drat it.
same here, minkie
i am on a mac, but that shouldn't matter.
minkie, would you like to have a flag?
umm - where do I find tools?
it is in my list of words found and registers as ma4/6
Hmmm.....very odd. Fourth time is the charm.
start - configuration screen
you won't find it on expert so just go to a reg web page
at the top where it says file...edit...view..favs...tools..help
are you talking tools from a browser window?
yes
minkie, I'll askagain -- do you want your flag?
Oooh...sorry...didn't see you. Yes I do.
Please ;)
just go to your My Account and check the little box, upper right, which says Sahow Profile :)
Show Profile, that is, lol!
great to see you handing out expert advice, jilli!
did it...
haha, sprite :)
yessss Minkie has her flag!
Thank you jilli!
yay, there you are in the USA, minkie!
am not kidding you, jilli! You learned so much! You so remind me of my granddad, who never stopped learning.
et voila!
found it Just... but nothing changed. Do I have to reboot for it to take effect?
flagged at last!
learning is forever, sprite :)
minkie love your icon
sure is jilli
no you shouldn't have to reboot
thank you lore
for some people it is, jilli, and bless them, they are the very best.
try check the don't show font styles also ..
ok
your most welcome minkie
still no change
need some revitalising (goes off to get drink remembering not to bend over ) bbs
have you tryed "view"...text size?
hurry back, lobo
going to need a little help to finish. ... te 7 anyone the te 7/28?
T + e6/21
never mind that, wrong point total.
thank you
got it
tyvm sprite :)
extention of te 5/10
Hi
hi lady
hi again herin
well, it worked in IE but I don't use that as my default browser
what do you use?
That was not fun
good reason to either see if your default browser has the sa4 options or change the default, I think.
I just did it on my Google Chrome... it has a zoom tool
he 6/27?
wow... now I can actually see without squinting and leaning forward
good huga
thanks so much... what a relief!
must be a relief, Hugs

i am trying to eat dinner
what's for dinner, herin? (and I loved your tale about sweet Pandora and the vet)
My cat weighs 5.8 k
Ravioli stuff
wow, big cat -- nearly 13 lbs (I still think un-metric about weight)
My Suze weighed about that when she was healthy
yep
Yes my vet said she is ok
I still miss my girl
I know you do. :(
mustn't dwell on it -- and it's time for bed. Are we alone here, herin?
I think so my dear. YOu get your rest
nope just got here,hi all
hi diem :)
Hi Diem
are you snowed in, diem?
Hi Diem
hi Jilli no we got very little a dusting the wind blew it away
hi herin
lucky you -- the roads here are sheets of ice
Jill stay in
and you live up a hill,be careful
don't worry, herin - I take no chances
we're hoping they will sand and salt the roads
its too slippery Oh and we here have heating on and its summer
well, I must go -- happy babbling!
*poof*
bye jill
night Jilli sleep well keep warm
HOw are you diem
Im good Herin thanks and yourself?
good just finished dinner
is anyone here?
Hi herin- how everything going?
i'm here, but ready for bed.
Covered in cat hair and yourself
Why is your cat hair on my chair?
If I was at home I'de be in the same shape.
my cat just wanted cuddles as she was ''violated' by the vet giving her shots
one of mine is licking too much and getting bald spots.
OH is she stressed?
How can I tell?
Have you changed your routine? Cats that get stressed can lick them selves stupid. That or a chemical in the house. I use Method cleaner so its safe for her
I think it might be a bad habit. He had fleas for a while, but they are gone now and he continues to lick.
I am also slowly painting and cleaning the house.
OH.
I recomend Method Cleaners. You can safely use it
hi all, just lurking
and playing
Hi April
Mix that can stress out a cat painting
talk about cats got my chatting. I had to euthanize one of my boys on Friday.
OOH april im so sorry :(
thanks. I'm still quite sad.
he had the urinary disease, just discoverd this summer. He was 5. Diet didn't keep it from coming back and he was in a lot of pain. I couldn't spend another couple thousand dollars. I'm broke. I am heartbroken.
OH poor baby. I believe you did the right thing.
I feel terrible. I've never had to do anything like this before. I feel like I really didn't do the right thing. I hate it that money was the issue.
I would have kept taking him back and having him hospitalized if I could have.
Ok it was $2000 yes you coud have afforded it but would teh problem keep coming back?
yes, I think so. He was on a very strict diet, and the stuff they really wanted him to eat he refused. Two weeks he almost ate nothing, so I fed him the dry kibble that was ok, but it just wasn't what was going to fix it. The night before he died, I gave him a couple of kitty snacks, not on his diet.
April you did the right thing. Others may think not but you did. BRB I need a shower im covered in cat hair
h
G'd morning Babblers! This grid doesn't suck yet. :D
Good morning Lori.
That's an uncharacteristically cheerful assessment from you.
Hello Lori, you reckon? Hi Haz
Hello lynxxx!
G'd morning Haz, Lynx, I'm sure my view will change
The s, m, h and r may be the deal breaker though
Oh, I don't know, sometimes it's all about attitude.
The right kind, of course. Platitudes are no use when it comes to grids.
Platitudes? Do you mean like how high a plane flies? :p
Ever see the Victoria Wood sketch where, as a large woman, she's conducting a keep fit class for big ladies. She called it 'Fatitude'
lol, nice
Hi all is what I started to say! On holiday in the frozen North Yorkshire!
Hello spellit. You choose the exotic settings, don't you?
Hello Spellit, lovely to see you
Home is where the family are!
G'd morning spelit. No Mediterranean? :D
Temperature isn't quite like the Med here
Ah well. The warmth of the family embrace has to make up for the weather.
lol because husband is still in bed, hobbit is showing a distinct lack of interest in perambulation this morning
Yes - I have done the Santa Christmas present run
Good for you, spellit. Are you staying for a few days?
G'd morning Ata Hari
I am here until Monday Hazel o celebrays t- two birthdate
Does Hobbit have man flu as well? I'm worried.
morning Ata
Santa run AND two birthdays? You'll need a holiday to recuperate from all the celebrations.
no, she just likes the warmth of being able to cuddle up to someone in bed rather than be outside!
Sounds like much excitement in a short time spelit, enjoy. :)
That went wrong! Celebrating two birthdays
That sounds worrying, Ata. Preferring a warm bed to a cold outdoors. Is Hobbit a proper dog?
she's been mollycoddled
Evidently so.
If you had a shed like a proper pet owner, you could remedy all this coddling.
Saving myself for my Christmas Day NINE course lunch! I come off my diet then having lost 70lb
Who is this puppy Ata?
this is Arthur, my godmother's new pup
hey all
You're a hero, spellit. Losing all that weight and being prepared to tackle nine courses? You'll need to pace yourself AND wear elastic waist trousers.
Amazing stuff Spellit, what will power!
G'd morning bf
hi bfsog
Hello bf.
ooh, good grid today i think
So Lori seems to think, bf. I'm worried about her, she mustn't be in her usual form.
true. if i think its an okay grid something must be up!
she'll revert
Whoa, just typoed a weird he 6/7. First stoopid word of the grid!
I finished the t's, and thus proclaimed this to be non poopy, and now they mock me so..... :p

Hi there. Sorry, wasn't joining in the chat cos deep in the grid.
the grid looks a little lopsided today
Hi jacq
I did say hi didn't i?
yes lol
Nice so far. Lots of variations on a th***. Whoops. Just found a word.
6 z's hmmmm
lol
Nearly went in the pb then!
i don't know what to do
what's up lady
Make coffee?
What's wrong herein?
Hello all...looks like all UK+ Aussie people here right now. Us east coast North Americans are just waking up.
HI Scrabbler you ok there?
Yes, the huge ice storm was east of me. Many people will be without power for a week. It is bad.
I've been awake for 2 hours , Just sitting here being quiet , and it paid off. I'm down to 14 words lol
and now i'm stuck
Hi Nas
Wow, Kris, go go!
gm lady , Scrab
damn it i missed teh food snack
go Kristie
imma stuck at 10 UGH
I am flying--up to 70 now.
Scrabler I have been worried
Why, herin?
I heard on the news that NY state was iced and i worried about you
Oh, that is sweet. It hit eastern NY state (feather had some snow days from school) and especially New England. The power losses are widespread.
We got lucky in Middle Vermont , 6 inches of snow turned to ice but luckily my area had no outages , and yesterday it was 60 degrees so it all melted !

Congrats Kristine ! and hello everyone !
I got a foster bunny (Miss B---Beatrix Potter) in May, 3 wks after my old bunny was euthanized...and now I adopted her!
**pounce** HERRRIIIINNNNN !!
ty ty Now I'm off to clean , Got up an hpour early today JUST so I could do my Babble lol
Hi Aussie
ae 8 --- one who appreciates beauty
ps, Herin, did you get your vacuum ??
yes waiting on delievery
Oh YAY Scrabs !! Happy for you to have adopted Miss B !!
Cool Herin, which did you go for, was it the red one ??
Yes the red one as the stupid man was rude at the store
congrats on the adoption scrabbler. i currently have a big orange tabby cat i'm trying to match up with my sister or mother (they both lost elderly cats in the past month) but I'm seriously in love with him.
Cliffs can you send the hoard of kittys to me
er, Herin, why was he rude ?????
I love my little Miss B--she is hilarious. She did a 180 leap from a sitting position this AM, she was so excited to have me come downstairs.
condersending
awwww, bless Scrabs !! She knows her Mommy !!
herin - wish i could
I understand, cliffopa, I would have dozens of bunnies if I had the space, time and money.
Ignorant S-O-B... Herin, didjya smack him ?? I would have !
I passed halfway! woot, woot! Time for another cup of tea.
Herin, you remember I said my friend who died (the 17 year old girl) donated her organs... Well, so far, she has saved 2 lives with just her Liver !!
wow. Bless her
Cliff are they going to go to good homes?
I have the news article if you want to have a look at the link ??
yes please
What a blessing for the donees, but what a tragedy for the girl--what happened?
http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/ coventry-news/2008/12/15/tragic-teen-s -organs-saves-baby-s-life-92746-224786 74/ ....... its a long link herin, sorry....
Can anyone clue me fr6-27 please - I am a bit blonde today..
She had an epileptic fit, and never recovered Scrabs :0(
She had an epileptic fit, and never recovered Scrabs :0(
Sorry, I said it twice !
they do their best at the shelter herin. they charge quite a bit for kittens (fee is $140 u.s.) so most people really think about it before they adopt.
Hi Spanner
Hi Herin
Spanner - fr6-27 = the most fr4/7.
Good Cliff. That really pisses me off the whole buy a kitten for christmas. I feel like yelling every time in a pet store : Save a shelter animal from death arsehats
Thanks city. I now have a full column of greys
yw, & well done - that's more than I have :/
Hi spanner
ANd Aussie that is a really wonderful story that you posted. So sad but so happy.
Hi scrabbler
I just have 10 mins before hitting the shops.
I know Herin.... I am happy for the donees......... It also means Toni lives on through them :0)
good moring all!
Hi Spaner and city
Fireworks!
HI Lyn
Good photo Herin. I love my docs too
Hi Herin & everyone
Well done merk
Hi Lynn and congrats Merk!
they can take all my organs but my eyes and skin that freaks me out. That isn't me in the photo
they can take all my organs but my eyes and skin that freaks me out. That isn't me in the photo
ty ... see you in the morning
Aussie--has a cause of death been determined yet? A stroke? A tumor?
Scrabbler said a word ... penalty box ... I'll send coffee
I wasnt sure, but I liked the light in it. Then I read about the docs..
OOOHH, TY, Merk! 2 words for me plus breakfast!
Not me. I own an awesome pair of 20 up blacks that just fit and a burgundy pair that are really comfy and 2 years old
I have purple ones. I love them, they wear like iron and are as comfy as slippers
Help with the Z's--I have ze4 x 2 and a plural (ze5)
mmmm purpley
morning everyone:)
Z followed by all vowels and plural
I dont have any Scrabler apart from the skin of orange. Hi Cross
They are soooooo lush. My daughter bought them me as a wedding present!!!
I did ask if it was inappropriate to keep smelling the leather when i got them
TY, Jean. I remember that word now. How are you doing, Jean?
Hi crossy!
plodding along, thanks
Hi jean
Z is grey.
hi Lady ;-p
You will be sad for a while, Jean, and, when you are ready you might want a new dog.
or someone small and furry may choose you over time Jean. You never never no.
was thinking of one of those battery operated pups that lays in a basket and looks like it's breathing
as
Well i have to go, happy babbling all
oop..my fingers are not working this morn
they freak me out Jean
lol
Oh what about a furbe
No fun, Jean! Get a real furball! Give a sweetie a wonderful life.
Bye Spanner
I doubt we will ever get another dog
later spanner
stupid question. Is it Tuesday in the states?
morning babblers, and my darling herin - yes, it is tuesday in the states. Breakfast with the expats day!
tuesday here so it must be;)
Thanks. Hi Triffs and yes today i live here
And I thought plurals were hard! This whole "past tense" thing is way confusing!
GM Trif
woot i have 2 rows left
morning scrabbler. I can't believe I am admitting this, but I bought one of those PediPaws things for Cinna bunny - works pretty well, actually!
no that is wrong., I have blanked 2 rows
we were going to get one for our cats,but the reviews wernt so hot on it
Trifs you have a bunny?
I was just looking at Bunny Tucker's nails yesterday and anticipating a clipping. My bunnies cooperate but I do worry about hitting the "quick" and causing bleeding.
rabbits!:))
yup. a freecycled one - do you have freecycle in Oz?
Yes but we are not allowed to give over pets
Yes, crossy, wonderful pets and never to be eaten by you again, remember?
it's more that when you hit even near it they kick the stuffing out of Secondo, or me, who is usually holding said bunny
:((
What is your bunny's name and breed?
Crossy, their are other animals for you to eat.
*there* sorry
his name is cinnamon, which I certainly didn't choose, he came with it, and I have no idea what kind he is. He is white and reddish-brown with regular sticky up bunny ears and short hair. Your standard issue bunny, basically
Trifs cant you wrap the bunny in a blanket like a kitty?
cinnamon rabbits!!!...ok ill be good...
yup, and we do. I think he would rather be wrapped in barbituates when it comes to nail time
Cute regardless, Trif...here come Bunny Miss B, my little Holland lop...hopping into this room.
good morning all! I just hit half way, but I still have some blank tiles.
if she is anything like mine, leaving a trail of coco puffs wherever she goes....
Please help me with the 2 side by side E's and the A
Go phandmd!!
WARNING IE has a security clitch
Mine are litter box trained, Trif--you could get yours trained easily too.
I use Firefox, herin.
dosent help when you name themcream sauce,and tasty pot pie:/
Scrabbler did you get to keep mrs B
he is litter box trained, mostly. he is just "casual" about it's use...lol
LOL, Crossy!
lol herin thats why ive use mozillia firefox for last 3 years
er
it was just on the news.
got one of the e's
he doesn't get as much free time I would like, as we have found that dog + bunny = cartoon-level chase scene
thing is full of security breeches
then again if you give out your details on the net that doesn't have a padlock o it then hey stupid tax for you
Yep, her name went from Bijou (I am not into French names) to Miss B (Beatrix Potter). In the past I had a Peter Rabbit and a Benjamin Bunny.
I need help with the A and the E below it; any clues?
Oh YAH
yes phan = did you try the weird british spelling of knock out gas?
I need that lone E as well.
fire fox rules!:))
Well Scrabbler I think Miss B would have such a horrid life living with you - free range every were food and cuddles.
thnx, Tri
I agree, Crossy--great add-ons, frequent updates, etc.
de rien!
the lone e= a gas they used to use on you before surgery
My bunnies live privileged lives. And they are my kids.
Not from that E.
LIke my kitty Scrabbler
iips my bad
Yes, herin!
Hi folks! At work taking a break. Had a little accident this morning-- the trike was bumbed at a red light by an enormous delivery truck. Just waiting to hear back from th eguy there now. Cross, I was getting some good work done on th ewolf but my good tool broke and when I started work again with another knife an ear broke. Thus I am procuring more stone and getting to work again. Oops, I have a client! Back later!
not on mine, crossy - that came from the upper e
oops even
MG, are you OK??
and...crossy is now snagglepuss
OH and funny was i took her to the vet today and instead of trying to run of she hunkered down on the scales and snarled
goodness MG i hope your ok
good lord herin!
howdy mg,im glad your ok after the truck run in and good to hear the wold is finally calling to you:)
Oh yes, and thanks for asking, it was literally just bumped, but the metal is a bit bent in one place. The startle reactiondid set my back off again but nothing new. Gotta help this client, back later!
wolf even
I guess i will have to settle for 1 blank tile for now then; have a great day.
lol trif,i got into the habit of that when i started using babble expert as it will not post single words to chat
how much do you love it when you enter a typo by mistake, but it's a word!!!!
ae8?
My repair total from my car accident = $4992! But my deductible = $200 and no one was hurt..phew!
good news scrabbs;)
I have that one lynn - its the word that means a highly refined artistic person
yep. Shes a grumpy bint. She also had her injections. She was so terribly cute. She looked at me like ''mum you betrayed me I want a hug'' and she climbed on me. I had her leash and harness on so she didn't go anywear
ae8 = es8 with A in front = someone interested in appearances...adjective = ******tic
she refused to go back into her basket
At 146/80 I must shower and get to work. Enjoy the day everyone.
does it have anything to do with the 6,7 ae words?
tc scrabbs and give those plump buiines a kiss for me;)
okay - could everyone cyber yell the following at me, please: ElizaBeth, 'seethe' is not in the grid - STOP entering it!' many thanks....
so i had to have another shower i had cat hair every where
beth...come closer....closer.....SEETHE IS NOT IN THE GRID!
oh and my cat 13 pounds
ahhhh - thanks cross, that is just what I needed!
but maybe I should enter it one more time,,,just to be sure?
so there is a ES 8?
damn...seethe not in the grid....my day is just screwed now
okay, I jsut found a th 8 that is so stupid
ae8/45

DUH me....sorry
Hi Carlee how was your birthday
carlee is snorting her coffee again;)
birthday was really nice herin....thanks for asking....
not to press, esprit, but did you look up the rainbow bridge poem?
herin, i have a couple of es 7s but no 8 yet!
yes I did. Also my vet sent a card the next day with rainbow bridge
anyone
did it bring any comfort at all? I only ask because it helped me loads when our beagle crossed over several years ago...
anyone
yes, it certainly helps to think they are healthy and happy in another place
Thanks and HI Cece
gm herin
i loved the concept of animal heaven. My pastor recited a great poem once that started with "when I arrive in heaven/the first thing that I'll do/is grab myself a fishing pole/and whistle for Old Blue" I love that idea....
just found an re 8: to be placed in a chair, again
I ahve that

bonjour trif - hi peri --- oops b/c i typed a word in the chat log..."sigh"
but I like the picture
peri, there is a STUPID th8 that is a past tense of a word that isn't a verb.
got it, thanks Trif
hi lady, almost missed you !
will look trif...
WHAT no HHH wow. THat was mega popular when i was 5
de rien. BTW,. montreal, dear daughter and I really could have used you last night - she had a ton of french homework, and MAN - nothing makes it obvious how much I have forgotten like having to help with French homework with my 12 year old, who already thinks I am brain dead
she is 5, herin. I may have to mail it to her when it comes in
wow. Um there is toysa saurus what about AMazon?
lol trif - are u referring to primo ?
Amazon is charging $12.99 for shipping!!
nope, secondo. who I should really call seconda, but how far do I need to take it? Primo takes Latin, and I am no help at all.
fe 7/40? please
Ok what is it worth?
there is a local toy store, will check to see if they have it
$21.00
my brother marcel took latin way back and i've always been interested in word etymology so know some latin...very little...
I agree, mont. I wish I had taken it, as words are one of my fave things. Do you know the world wide words site? it is really interesting
Ok for $25 amazon have free shipping
in the states
i know herin, thanks
so for what a small book she could have it> OH i have another idea one sex
no trif but i've taken note - tx !
are you still in india, montreal?
how's life treating you these days trif ?
ok..i walk away..and I come back to sex being an idea?
grummble silly net.
what about one sex, herin
That was one Sec but i always mistype and can't be bothered changing it
nah trif, I worked there many moons ago - i change my babble location to get to see a variety of flags in the log...
ok
I am shaking my fist to make my net go faster Peri I ahve an idea. hold on
I am waiting, herin
i hope sex is better than an "idea" kat ...lol
I am wanting my net to HURRY Up. I think i am on dial up
oh okay. my life is okay, I guess, I am thinking about the person I want to be next, now that it looks like I won't be a wife anymore. I want to come out of this with dignity and a new purpose, beyond just being a good mom, which hasn't changed. I want to make good changes for ME, not so R will feel regretful, or so that I can get revenge or something. I want to be someone I can be proud of.
PERI: Target $15
and of COURSE I want to speak better French- how could I forget that!
bravo trif, sounds like an excellent program !!!
really, there is a target right near me, will check, thanks so much
brb
I am looking to see if i can find a store for you
tri, even just that attitude, the things you tackled this weekend, your wilingness to stand up and fight and try means you should be proud you are not sitting in a corner crying "woe is me"
lack of use trif... manque de pratique !
www.target.com
sorry, came back to see tri's post
yes, well. It's easier to type than do. I am well into my 'bitter phase' and I would LOVE a pound of his flesh on a stick, believe me. As we say here in NE - can't live with em, can't run em through a wood chipper
go to the site and see if there is a store that has it
bonjour jacq !
bitter can be productive
bonjour montreal, comment ca va?
lol trif...and understandable...
oh, speaking of new england - I recently found out what people in new hampshire call people from massachusetts - "Massholes!" funny, yes, but I was so shocked!
pas mal jacq à part un mal de dos ...et toi ?
actually the woodchipper is really good if you freeze them first, then chop a few sappy trees afterwards
lol, i can understand more than i can type, but i'm good thank you
lol jacq...
um is peri still here?
trif..my advice....since I been going thru sim things the last few months...( situation very different ) but... think about what u want...what u enjoy....and what makes u happy....we often put ourselves after him..after kids...after friends..and lose ourselves
my french teacher hated me so much, but i got revenge i found a translator who copied out my hate note into french for him and i wrote it on the board
i agree carlee
do you guys already have a word for when you are cruising along through the grid and suddenly can't find another word to save your life? If not, might I suggest "gridlocked?" and, btw - I AM
so true kat...
and tri, the best revenge is showing him that he wasn't needed anyway and that you are all thriving without him, even if it is just an act at the times he shows his sorry ass
thanks carlee - that is so lovely. I will try
wow Hasbro is out of hippos
I am finding a voice that I had long forgotten. thing is, I need his money. I have got to find a way to earn some again. I am SO obsolete!
i rearranged bedroom..and made it "mine" not even painting or getting new linens...just pulling things I liked from home..and bringing into my room
you are NOT, you have time management skills, multi tasking skills, people management skills, negotiation skills and all the rest
"gridlocked" sounds perfect trif...and yes, it has happened to me before...
Nice Carlee
yes, I have been doing a lot of that. In the process, I have discoverd just how much I had given up....he was quite controlling, actually, though I didn't realize it as it was happening. making my own choices feels like bastille day
and he has to pay for the kids at the very least, so bleed him dry for everything they need, my ex offered me £5 a week for both girls, i told him to go see a solicitor
anyone want to pay me to babble? THAT would be win!
I stayed away from the "self help " books....cus even tho u think its great....within a couple weeks u've forgotten most of it....and the friends u spout it off to...think ur temporarily crazy
lol jac. yes, I would def say a lawyer is the next thing I need. I want a SHARK
lol Tri, we could petition for you
had a peek at your flicker pics - did you do that ? - if so, there's plenty of talent right there...
Tri, ask other women you know who have been there, they will recommend someone
yes she did montreal, it's amazing isn't it?
yes, that was me, montreal. the famous river of trash, flowing right through my kitchen....
hello everyone
hi there space
how do you play this?
Jac did you also tell him to take his 5 quid shine it up nice and pretty and jam it up his candy ass
trash !!!!??? - no it's beautiful trif really !
carlee - the friend thing is settling down, and better than I could have hoped. at first everyone wanted to be switzerland, but, as this goes on, and the choices he has made begin to ripple, guess who is on the invite list, and guess who is sitting in his bachelor pad all alone? And i didn't have to do a thing....
hi space
hi leon
yeap....it does...
space there a help up at top..give that a read through..and in friends of babble..there a link for lickety's babble clues..that helps loads too....after that....ask away :)
space, click on the HELP icon above the chat...
Hi Space
why isn't "fest" a word? chowderfest, music fest, fest fest, october fest....
yes trif, i keep trying it to no avail..."sigh" at enable...
seethe fest
I spent alot of time just "hanging out" in my room... not wallowing..just being... surrounded with the books and things I love...had a bit of wine ( not alot..no drunken wallows either )
seethefest works
thanks for the help
I have given up the drink carlee - was going to that well a little too much for my liking, so I thought I would quit while I could
welcome to BabbleLand space !
yeap.... I did too.. abit cus enjoyed the flavour ( like.."hey..instead of a pepsi..i think I willhave a dr, pepper " kind of "change up"
and space's transition to the dark side is complete....
he's on the hook..will we real space in?....or will he wriggle away?
babble is the hotel california of word games...
so r u guys addictedalready?
and it comes with your own personal psychotherapy group
the first rule of babble is you don't talk about babble
oh..within about 15 mins of first visit about 2 years ago now
No I am not addicted. Addicted means you have a problem. :D
addict schmaddit...but yes, we are...sort of...
unless u are gridlocked or suffering grid grouch..then feel free
lol herin
babbling isn't a problem
lol
well the first step to solve a problem is to admit it ;)
we might "have problems" but babble sertainly not one of them :op~~~
LOL
Hi I'm Jean and I am a babble addict
certainly*
my name is Lucien and i am a Babble addict...there
:) group talk!
HELLO JEAN! HELLO LUCIEN!
my name is carolyn and I am a babble addict
denial is not a river in egypt

Nope.
WOW....so THaT was the problem..i feel a big weight lifted off my shoulders..but alas I stillhave only found 32 words today....least dr god could do is find all the words for me today
i feel lighter as well kat...amazing !
by the way, herin - I should send you a photo of a totally b*tchin pair of docs I bought years ago in ireland. all covered in flowers. Everyone loves them, wherever I go...
'tis the day i will become a Babble millionaire !!! currently sitting at 998,000 or thereabout...
and on that note..its time to get ready for work..maybe I will feel lighter after a shower too...who knows...but then again..the piece of cheesecake I had for breakie will counterbalance that
go mont, go!
i am NO where close to that I believe luc....mind I rarely look
have a great day ((carolyn))
carlee, thanks so much for all your wise words today....like in the christmas story, i remember all these things, and 'ponder them in my heart" - I love that verse, and have been thinking of it a lot lately

bonjour Une !!
I didn't even notice
salut, montreal~
le soleil vient de sortir après 24 heures de nuages et de pluie...
pas encore ici . . .
nuages = snow?
clouds
neige: snow
merci
mon plaisir :-)
well I notice it b/c I prepare each month ranking evolutions for "Cream of the crop" and "Village elders"...
i did learn something VERY important last week: big HUGE diff between une pipe and le pipe!
pluie = rain
LOL!!!!!!!!!
indeed trif...lol
or is it un pipe? I still have trouble with article gender
now, HOW did you learn that trif ? ...lol
pipe is feminine une pipe, la pipe...
good question!
read it in a book, thank god
ahhh...
ah, ok :-)
good morning Babblers : )
Hi nono
bonjour Nono !
while on the subject of rankings, my who's hot rank has been stuck at 1020 for a long time yet I have completed every grid I think
bonjour Luc, Afraid my french is very very rusty
i gave up on "Who's hot" b/c of its many aberrations nono...
on Ebay: Original Master Recording of Bob Dylan "Lay Lady Lay" (reel to reel) . . . bidding up to $760.00
is the goal of who's hot to have a high number (1,000) or a low number (1)?
top ranking there is 1030 i think
highest trif - 1030 usually the max
wow Une ... am not surprised though...
a completed grid gets you 1000 then 1 point added for each completed grid after that but only spans 30 days
huh. I am at 981. Not too bad then, given I have been babbling, for what, a month maybe? mini self esteem workshop for me (if this is nothing to be excited about, please keep it to yourself - I need whatever I can get these days....)
well done trif !!!! - go go go !
montreal, i was surprised it wasn't higher but then so many folks wait to bid at the finish line . . .
exactement Une...
oh, montreal, how I adore you...
whoops - gotta run tertiare to the bus - be back in 20
ahhh dear ((trif))
have a nice day trif - enjoy !
bye bye Trif
I don't even look at the rankings. Later Trifs
i got 394 !!!
go, spaceman!!
is that low?
its not bad for a beginner space
429!
go space go ...it's a bit low but will zoom up as you play on...
i like this :) i used to play bookworm
and the addiction begins . . .
trembling hands
I am startled that Hungry Hungry Hippo game has made a come back
pale skin
we have had a few tangleword people
made it to halfway - time for a break - BBL - happy babbling all - "POOF"
herlater Luc
later Mont
bye nono and herin "actual poof"
and I return....
TRIFS that was quick
the bus is pretty reliable, arrival time wise....
oh just taking her to the bus stop ok cool
that bus has angel wings growing out of it, I swear
wb Trif
primo has to take the school bus home today, as he has a doctor's appt, and he is so grumpy about it! Doesn't want to be see on the "loser cruiser" - lol!
OH dear
we pay $200 a year in bus fees - he is taking the damn bus home!
he will soon have a cool car and you will have other things to worry about like cute boys and girls ogglying him
he has a companera already, and I have broken all the rules of teenage dating - I LOVE HER. i am totally attached. when she leaves for college in sept he AND I will be inconsolable
oh How old are they again?
he is 15, she is 17. Cougar!
well he is kind of cute
ty, I think so too.
are these your kids?
just the boy in this scenario, space
Trif, I was looking at the your flicker pics, Is that the backsplash in your kitchen? It's gorgeous!
yup. thanks nono - I put my lifelong collection of sea glass to good use!
absolutely beautiful
***blush**** I am really proud of it. I am sure all the others are tired of hearing me yammer about it....
did you do the layout yourself?
yes
that is amazing
gess dont all speak at once
trying to beat my gridlock, and stave off list, sorry
sorry, engrossed in the grid
hugs Trifs
i wish i could finish a grid without listing, but I don't know as I ever will. am way past halfway today, so that counts, right?
sure it does. I have only finished a very few without going to the list in over 2 years
any bit helps trifs
that's great trif! I rarely get past 1/3 without giving it up or going to the list!
HI Babs
hi herin!
hi Babs

Vi, if you're looking, what a beautiful picture!
and have you found any trif?
does she like wearing her collar? nono?
yes! turns out one is a political prisoner! that floored me!
she seems to. she doesn't try to take it off
NONO your kitty is amazingly cute
ah ha Trif you're well rid of that one!
ty Herin
anyone have any h's from the bottom row? I know that's always a tricky question..
babs, your profile made me roll - I have been telling people in ireland I am canadian for years!
also not seeing any z's but one lemony one.
Aha! Hello, kwaker! Thanks!
I'm going to tag you as a friend, kwaker.
You make gorgeous babies!
i have one from that h but not sure which it is
lol
Awesome - I'll do the same.
And hello, everyone else!
no idea where the h's are from
maybe the plural laughs?
Hello Vi!
trif...garrison's great with words--capturing the sentiment of so many!
Try he5 - open shrubby land
hi Vi and Haz :)
he7 - shrubby plant that grows there
and pl's of both
how about the purple stuff from the scottish highlands?
Hello everyone.
I'll be back shortly... cars to shift.
hi Kwak
My first word was a Quaker staple, Vi.
pl the purple stuff too
ick = I need to get up and out, but I am so warm and comfy and babbly here.....
thanks
hi kwak
Mine, too! =D
what state of coldness are you in trif? it's about 30 here in Austin
burrrr thats cold for Autin
same
not too shabby here, babs - it was warm and windy yest, and we have just a bit of freezing rain today, but it's not that bad.
will have to take little guy pup out soon because otherwise....he just doesn't use the CONVENIENT doggie door!
only 5# of fluff.. a wee cutie, but doesn't follow the bigger dogs role modeling...lol!
Ooooh, wrong box, kwaker! No you have to go to the Penalty Box!
okay - i give up. what is the quaker staple???
You are so right, Vi! Rookie mistake!!!! I am suitablt shamed!
oats??
th4 - archaic second person singular
That is "suitably".
do i have to pay 15 usd to upload a picture??
oh, I had that. Just didn't make the connection. We always joke about when amish kids get to be teens they run around saying stuff like "thou sucketh!" and stuff. As you can see, we are easily amused.
If FMitch is here you can visit the picture of the Penalty Box in her flicker photos. ;)
Yes but you get to keep the stats after the 2 weeks is up
if you wish a pic in your profile yes you have to be a pro member space
baaah! why does it always come down to this
Your daughter's in the grid today, I see, kwaker.
any z words floating around?
Woohoo!
You're not fully clean unless your ze4-fully clean"
i am missing one, babs, and it is driving me zany
only have one here..
That means this grid is full of life!
you can attack the grid with ze4 and vigor Babs
ze4 and 5 - Greek letter and pl
Oops, "you're" Oh well. When quoting commercials perhaps proper spelling are supererogatory.
ty Vi
grammar, too, apparently. Sigh.
Proper spelling are?
if it makes you feel better vic, that song is stuck in my head now, THANKS
Sorry, Trifioso!
thanks, vicuna!
Supererogatory... It sounds pleasurable.
Yeah, yeah, I know, Haz. *hangs head in shame*
mornin babbler!
morning Eva
hi eva!
Hello, EvaN.
Just as long as you don't start singing, Vi. I'll forgive you this once.
Hello EvaN.
ok i ahve just weirded my self out
how far is Bethesda from Baltimore, eva?
It isn't me singing today -- it's Trifioso!
Aloha, global puzzlers!
hello haz -- seems like i havent seen you in a while!
babs -- about an hour-ish, driving
you started it, vic!
I know.
hi Judi
now im weirded out
Not MY fault - blame it on whoever asked for z clues.
know anything much about MICA (art school)? eva?
(That sounds like a silly French accent: Give me z clues!")
how so Herin?
ok...I asked for z's...fish me!
not really...always wanted to be artsy, but never quite had the ability!
That shouldn't stop you, EvaN. Have you seen some of the modern stuff these days
whoo - big snowflakes falling here now!
good morning all
oh...just gathering info. looking at art schools and theater schools for daughter
ok i am offically weired out
what state? trif?
IF you have the abilty for self-promotion you've got what it takes, EvaN! *subsides into cynical muttering*
good morning wvteach
no kidding, haz! My mom and I went to the MFA in Boston, and,in a modern exhibit they had a new piece that everyone was buzzing about. I SWEAR it was a grocery bag duct taped onto a long stick. ponderous. (barf!)
i know that there is a fairly large artsy district in baltimore... they have a huge art festival thing there every year...."artscape" i think...
(Joining you in the muttering, VI and I'm not even an artist)
I am in massachusetts, babs
Lol, Trif. Sounds like Borat meets MFA.
I'm by no means an art expert, but I do like to see an element of skill displayed in any work.
i mean, I will grant some latitude, but PUHLEEZ - a grocery bag on a stick?
Ah, but Trifioso, what did it say about the embodiment of modern society's engagement with the object, as such, in terms of the reimagining of humanities deeper meanings?
hi all - back from holiday all brown and lovely - now shivering in the British weather :(
I don't get some of the modern stuff either..not what my daughter does...
*humanity's*
Welcome back mari. If you will go to sunny places....
it said the artist had 1) a grocery bag 2) duct tape 3) a stick 4) a big honking grant of my tax dollars
*blinks* *blinks again* Vic, I think we found a use for that grocery bag on a stick. Open wide.
Vi, are you feeling quite well? Grammar, spelling, apostropes gone to pot.
what's an apostrope?
Ha. You said apostropes, Ms Pot.
Just testing.
Good try at recovery, Haz. Full points for quick squirming.
It was good, wasn't it?
okay, I really need to finish the z's before I go. I have a ze4 9, ze 4, 9, ze 5, 20, zo 4, 9 and a zo 5, 20. what am I lacking?
I won't press you on it. After all, you're right. I seem to be a typing mess today.
obviously years of practice Haz
Absolutely, mari. You don't bring up two girls to think you're infallible without covering your tracks.
another zo5/20
both the same word one has a latin ending
thanks no no. does it build, or it is it's own thing?
It's another plural (Latin). Sorry you didn't take it?
two pl's of the zo4, Tri. One Latin one Eng.
got it! yay for me, finishing the z's
gotta run - see you later today, barring any acts of God....
Bye Trif.
Bye, Trifioso!
I'm riding your coattails on the z's, trif. Ty.
bye Trif
kisses babble land. what did I ever do before I met you? oh i remember - laundry, ironing, meal planning, correspendence....
byee
need to go clean up the breakfast mess. bbl
bye trifs
Bye, Nono.
good afternoon all

Hey, Orange Cat. Hope you aren't near any of the riots!

there have been a few small-ish riots nearby.
kalispera!
Or, at least I hope you aren't participating!
kalispera space. no.. i wasn't :-)
i got 60 words and am totally stuck!!
Well, I am really enjoying this grid, but I'd better go prepare some packages for the post. See you all later!
Bye VI.
Bye Vi!
byee
Well, OrangeCat, you'll be happy to know there are at least three Greek letters in today's grid.
i'v got 2
how about the o's?

Babs: ot5/12 + plural.
Orange how is teh kids?
why do my eyes not follow easy paths in the grid????!!! thanks judi!
all well herin. getting wound up for christmas. i wish there was a real 'north american' style santa for them to see
oh
?? What's the Greek Christmas icon?
the greeks don't get too worked up for dec25th. santa is santa.. but it's not the main thing here. can't escape the influence of the rest of the world tho
Ah. Shows you how wordly I am (NOT).
They have Orthodox Easter is it the same for Christmas?
easter is the big celebration here. christmas is dec 30
that is what i thought. Are you in Greece or one of the Islands?
crete. chania
Nice
My english uncle lives in Greek Cyprus
my husband does alot of work in cyprus..Nicosia
bbl... laundry :-)
You're the center of attention today, Orange. We don't see many players from Greece. Work it, you exotic creature!
Well, that blows the image entirely. There's nothing exotic about laundry.
I really should go to bed
Herin, if you've finished your Babble, you may go to bed.
I haven't finished but im going now night night
STDLTBBB.

hi TO! hi Uni and the psycho KoG!

i am bogged down with christmas cookies. gained 10 lbs. since this morning :(
husband is Ill today, so Hobbit's spent about 99.9% of her day flopped with him, our bedroom is normally out of bounds, so any excuse she finds to be in there, she takes!
Hi all.....clue please for ta6/21 please?

last es7,32 help please?
I have only one es7 and it's the past tense of the previous noun!
I need the one after that.
I'll keep looking! =)
Hi Mix, sorry not really joining in the chat atm, but the last es7 is an alternative spelling of the ae8
ae8? *flails*
Ah, thanks!
ty sally
one with terribly refined sensibilities, Ata.
I kept trying to find that *yesterday*!
how do i play
Send a large cheque to any Babbler, then you can play.
good afternoon everyone and I accept cheques also ashim lol :)
y not sure but after i win one game against you
do i make words accross and down only
do i make words accross and down only
You don't play against anyone here, ashim. You play against the grid. You can make words any way where the letters touch each other. Try the "Help" tab above the chat box.
No, any direction. But look in the help files before you start.
ashim - read Help above, it gives you an idea of what to do. You can go in any direction but the letters have to touch.
Snap, snap, snap :-)
also Licketys babble clues are useful ashim
Oh, and good morning afternoon all.
hi Haz and la Glitterata!
* What do you call the hair of a centaur? * Humane.
Hello there! I've been out for a while, thought I'd see who was around.
Good afternoon Haz, hope you are well:)
Hello jean - yes, I'm very well. How are you?
I'm around!
I'm atriangle :)
That's unless the hair happens to be hutail, BabRab!
Hello Vicuna - twice in one day, we are honoured.
Yay! And Ata can be a square!
Im ok cheers, now starting to get over the loss of my darling labarador back at the end of October
Hello angular FM.
*grin* Hi all!
a square? I'm a *star*!
It can take a while, jean, I know.
hello FMitch:)
Trust Ata to steal the show.
*nodding graciously* The honor is all mine, Haz.
I know Haz it really was the pits he was a super dog bless him, I am lucky that I still have the beagle it helps ease it a little
Great grid for a change.
A beagle and a labrador? I bet you needed strategies for keeping them away from food.
Yeah, I'm liking this one.
It has been a civilised grid, I agree.
Lol you know the breeds so well, put it this way all the food was at ceiling height lol
But of course the wall is still ahead.
That sounds about right, jean!
lol jean
I hate it. I can't find 20 words
infidel grids are so ungodly
mind you the beagle is sulking today it was booster day at the vets lol not impressed lol
Ata Ata Ata, can't you love the 206 words you do have?
Oh not finished Ata, has sickly hub been demaning attention?
Poor beagle. He'll forgive you eventually.
no thank goodness! I escape to whitstable to have lunch adn hot chocolate in my favourite tea shop!
Lol I expect forgiveness will come at tea time lol
Sounds nice, Ata.
*thoughts turn to hot chocolate*
Right gotta dash hope to call in later, Happy Babbling everyone good to catch up with you all
very nice, did you at least leave him a crust and some water?
it was *necessary*
Bye jean
Bye, jean!
Bye jean!
he has home-made mushroom soup
That poor man. Alone, neglected, starving. Does it not make you ashamed?
mushroom or toadstool?
He's got Hobbit to keep him warm.
So he's still better off than the rest of us.
only a few fly agarics shoved in
Okay, he wasn't alone and he wasn't starving. And that means he wasn't neglected either, I suppose.
amanita muscaria. Tsk tsk tsk.
he 6 == most of warmth and to proceed from a stopping point: res***; pl
he's been playing games on his laptop all day, of course
Does he play Babble Ata?
*gasp* he doesn't babble does he??
Gosh - who on earth would spend the day playing games on the computer? What a notion!
lol Vi
I feel sorry for people like that.
omg no! no babble!
Ata how do you know that he doesn't ...
I don't know. He could be ashim for all we know.
Those people are totally anti-social. No lives whatsoever.
I know. Talking to people they've never met.
hey everyone! how are you all?
because he thinks it's a waste of time!!
lol
hello folkls
Hello, debjed.
i need some clues for the Z, please
*folks* even
Hello debjed - we're well. And hello peri.
Just think - if we all applied to the real world the sort of ingenuity and perseverance we apply to Babble, voila! Utopia achieved!
Of course, Utopia doesn't come with a second-letter list...
he doesn't seem to see the irony in that st5ment. oh well. It amused me
Would we have to tell everybody everything in Utopia?
ze4- orange rind or pizzazz
ze4 - Greek letter, and pl
No! that would be the blissful part Haz
thank you Vicuna
You mean we could keep some details to ourselves?
zo4 - any of the free-swimming larva of certain crustaceans (add a slew of vowels)
and Ltin pl
Good evening all .......
and English pl
Hello caitlyn!
cait! Hi there. Hi tto to deb and peri.
hi cait!
Nice to see everyone here
thank you again, that's all the Z's:)
Haz, I'm afraid Utopia means everyone *wants* to hear every last little detail about your children and pets and gastric disturbances.
Hello, caitlyn!
The worst is hearing about pets' gastric disturbances.
what is utopian about that?
how about help for the O?
Oh, will you look at that! My passport doesn't seem to have a visa for Utopia. It looks like I'll have to stay home.
I have to hear about pets' gastric disturbances on a regular basis in real life.
Are you a vet Haz?
very common word deb
ruru, how long have you been planning your trip and where are you heading hun?
well then you should be used to it!
why about giving advice on skin conditions?
deb, if it is not one thing, it is an*****
No, Sally, my husband is a vet and I get to answer emergency phone calls after hours.
about a life time I think...
*what
If it's not one, it's the ot5. Or its pl.
snap Vi!
I am going to New Zealand, canada, NYC, and Montana for starters.
My advice about skin conditions is to take the animal to a vet!
oh heavens to betsy that was easy. thank you
even when you could give such good advice about cleaning products?
Wow, ruru. That'll be a long hike!
Those are quite some starters ruru!
Even then. There are too many skin conditions out there to try diagnosing over the phone.
Ata are you still a domestic goddess?
Groan. I thought I'd done all the T's, but now I see there are three more to find!
hahahaha. no. LOL
I am hoping to spend a couple months in NZ and go from top to bottom
I knew it wouldnt last LOL
when are you going on your trip, ruru?
At is a domestic goddess? Any plans for europe ru?
NOT a domestic goddess!
no not yet..
brb..need more coffee
No, Nigella has got that title sewn up.
an undomestic goddess
a goddess of chaos
LOL Vi
I suppose there are enough imported goddesses to go around
I always play chaotic neutral characters in D&D
lol
Nigella is filling our screens more so than usual - her derriere seems to have grown a tad?
I think being a goddess is overrated!
Not just her derriere, if you ask me.
*gasp*
I wouldn't know :-(
I wouldn't know, caitlyn. I've never tried it.
lol, Sally-cat.
It's hard living up to the title everyday but one manages ;)
Splutters coffeee at monitor
LOL Thats only what I have heard, never had a chance to try it out
But I was put on a pedestal once, and it was really annoying.
Did you fall off?
Stop it Sally or FM will come and clean it
*passes Sally an imaculatly pressed tea towel and spray bottle*
We've got some Christmas cards done with decoupage. Husband was musing that it wouldn't do to compliment someone on their great decolletage. He's the master of mix-ups.
lol!
Imagine getting nothing but incense for your birthday... yet *again*.
I know Vi you kept falling off!
lol, Haz.
LOL
Huh. Wanted to smack the boy and tell him to get real.
Gasp. You press your tea towels?
(I press my tea towels.....)
OK, so that confirms I'm just a slut.
Does wadding count as a sort of pressing?
No, Sally, apparently I'm in the minority and you're the normal one.
what the heck is a tea towel?
Bear in mind that I was raised by a woman who was born with an iron in her hand.
rofl
Thank goodness LoriP is not here to hear me admit to a tad of domesticity
Haz presses her shoelaces.
closet I come to pressing towels is inadvertently running them over with my car
No you are not Sally (sniggering behind my hand)
do you mean the small kitchen towels
I suppose I at least know what a tea towel is .... its a start!
It's the sort of towel you use for drying dishes.
that is what I thought, I would never think to iron them!!
... always presuming that you wash dishes...
What do you call them in US-land, peri?
Woven from cotten and not fluffy like a bathroom towel
dish towel
But they're so easy to iron and come out all nice and crisp.
yes I do wash the dishes, at least the dishwasher does
dish towels, Sally
often flour sacks
Yes, FM makes a good point - the non-fluffy ones are ironable.
Some of us US-ians call them tea towels, too. But apparently not all of us! *shrug*
well, Haz, I will pack mine up once they are washed and ship them to you to be ironed, ok?
My hubby has learnt how they work since he retired
That will be fine, peri. And I'll send them back in cling-film so that they're all sterilised and ready to be used as a bandage in an emergency.
:-)
Can we talk about something else now I am feeling very jittery with all this talk, the next thing you know I will get an urge to dust or hoover!!!
you think she jokes!
Seriously, I did read that in a magazine once - 'ironing helps to sterilise' it sounds good to me!
But don't ever actually use them, peri, or they won't be crisp any more.
my initial thought of a tea towel is one for those who have difficulty getting the cup from the table to the mouth
lol, BabRab. Tea towel does sound more elegant than "slop rag".
Oh no FM, sit back and ignore the chat LOL
or a bib :)
FMitch, if you get that feeling, just lie down till it goes away.
take a deep breath, FM and the feeling should pass
whre is LoriP anyway?
Speaking of Hoovering, our vacuum just exploded, and husband is going to get one of those roomba ones to replace it! I'm so excited!
lol you lot
Actually, take a stiff drink, and the feeling will definitely pass.
I will have to get the first aide kit out if that happens FM
oh fun!
good idea Sally
Lori spoke of window-shopping earlier. She's probably ironing tea towels but keeping quiet about it.
brb
What's a roomba thing like? Does it come with tools or does it just do floors?
She is buying windows .. double glazed, georgian, velux?
It's supposed to do both bare floors and carpet, and just zip around all by itself while I sit and eat bonbons!
LOL FM, you beat me to it then
I think she should go for genuine plastic double-glazed tudor ones.
or microsoft?
** packs up some Windex for Lori***
Wash your mouth out FM.
My contribution to the woman buying windows is to send her a bathrobe.
That sounds like fun, Vicuna. Will it rebel if you tell it 'You've missed a bit'?
I don't know, Haz. They're supposedly quite docile and biddable, but I'll have my whip at the ready just in case.
brb
But does it just go at the same speed the whole time? What happens in the case of an emergency and you need the place cleaned pronto?
Ata's going to soothe fevered brows.
You send for FM
My understanding is that if you want pronto you're on your own.
hahaha no she isn't!
I shall be sure to report back once the thing arrives and has had a chance to be put through its paces.
I really fancy one of those, but I can imagine the cats stalking it.
Someone poorly Ata?
Ata's going to refever overly-soothed brows?
I'm sure our cat will just hide from it.
We will wait with interest :)
I'll be interested to hear about it Vicuna. Is it noisy, for instance? My dead Dyson sounded like an aircraft about to take off.
How big is it Vi?
Dysons should come with a health warning, they are industrially loud!
I'm sure lurkers are thinking 'Sad women to get excited about a hoover'.
Spangle used to make a bolt for the door every time she saw the Dyson emerging. I felt like following her.
Perhaps they don't realise it's a code word for something else :-)
It's about 18 inches diameter, I think, a circular disc that trundles around the room trying not to bump to hard into the walls or get stuck under the furniture.
HAve you seen our latest viewing figures, we are pulling the lurker audience in better than ever at this time of day.
*too*
There you are, told you it was a code word!
And while I'm self-editing, can a disc be anything but circular?
LOL but good question Vi, Im sure someone could argue the point
It's the sensationalism, FM. People talk about morals, but they're secretly just avid to hear graphic discussion of tea-towel ironing.
Maybe we should conduct a survey throughout the day to see when lurkers most lurk.
My mum had one a couple of years ago...I think it was too small and she got annoyed with it, so it rests in the cupboard
How can you tell when they lurk?
I lurk in the mornings!!
I would suggest the morning slot Haz (GMT of course)
Some of us never log off so we look as though we lurk semi-permanently. I lurk more in our mornings and come out to chat later in the day.
My husband, who just loves to search through reviews of technological products, assures me that the early models had many issues, but the newer ones are universally well-regarded. As I said, we shall see.
but it is intersting to see how many people participate in the grid if you look at the archives from time to time, large numbers of finishers that never come into the chat
There are 170 people on-line now.
That's true, FM, lots of unfamiliar names.
Perhaps they dont like chat about cleaning
*waves at lurkers*
How can't you like chat about cleaning? I mean, come on, it's really interesting.
Im one of the lurkers,waves back chat goes to fast for me but i do enjoy all of you babblers
zzzzzz
Is that possible, caitlyn? SO hard to imagine that there could be people like that!
Hello Yvo!
lol waves back
Yay for Yvo and richalulu coming out of hiding!
Waving at rich and Yvo....hello there
hello one and all,hope your having a good day
yay lurkers are uncloaking :)
You see? (I was going to say the lurkers are exposing themselves now, but I've thought better of it)
threes
Oh no! richalulu has discovered one of the dangers of unlurking! lol
see why I don't chat!
This is only my second time playing so I am not sure if I really qualify as a lurker
LOL Haz. However, imagine if there were 170 people all trying to chat here at the same time!
we'll wait for sprite before the exposing
I don't know how long you have to be playing before being classified a lurker.
Well, welcome, Birdsee. I guess only time will tell if you are a true lurker.
Hi Birde
I have found 117 words in this puzzle
Go, Birdsee, go!
how do those that do not participate in the chat effect those who do? is there a reluctance to speak because of some type of orwellian concern?
Well done, Birdee - it looks like you're well on your way to being a true babbler.
october 2005
Hello Birdee, you are doing well.welcome to babble
Babble - there are times when I just don't want to participate in chat. I don't know about everyone else.
I have to go to work for a bit - I'll keep searching and chatting later - bye all
Im the same Haz
Also, sometimes I'm just too busy, and sometimes there are too many clues being given, and I really only want those as the last resort.
Bye Birdee, have a good day, see you soon
Yeah, sometimes I'm not in the mood. And it does always seem odd to me when people have very personal discussions as if they've forgotten that this is a public forum. Or perhaps they just don't care.
Bye Birdee.
they dont care
Bye-bye, Birdeee!
Uh oh, I think Vi might be about to burst into song!
If I chat while doing the grid ,otherwise I put the words in the wrong place LOL
Yes, the personal stuff is more than I want or need to hear. But then everyone's personality is different.
Hee hee, I couldn't help it!
Ear-plugs at the ready....
My grammer is getting worse!!
Don't worry, Haz. I don't even know the words.
dot dot dit
and spelling :P
Dinner is ready and Husband wants to eat ,be lurking later,bye evryone
Your spelling is deteriorating as well!
Bye Yvo, nice to see you again
Bye, Yvo!
See you, Yvo, enjoy your dinner.
LOL There is no hope for me........
Okay its wine time..
lol
You think wine is going to help?
I haven't noticed that wine has a positive influence on grammar or spelling.
Yesh it mite a bit
the olives might *looks around hoepfully*
Nicely done, caitlyn!
lol, caitlyn. That was quick!
Oops, sorry, FM. I didn't mean to hit you in the eye with that olive!
Passing garlic olives to FM hic
its ok i can tipe with 1 ey
Gracious! DId I knock her out cold?
Phew!
Fireworks for me! Have to go so have fun Babblers. I'm supposed to be reading a funny poem tonight and I need to titivate it a bit.
LOL FM
That's nothing. I can type from underneath the desk thanks to mirrors and extendable arms.
Congrats Sally!
Congratsh Sallee
Have fun Sally!
Bye, Sally-cat. Have fun titivating!
I want to know why and where Sally is reading a silly poem and why she has to titivate
She wants to look good??
Going to a Christmas party, and doing a party piece. Very silly about turkeys.
Tell us
Ah, thanks!! HAve a great time :)
Turkeys are intrinsically funny.
Too shy :-(
Poof!
Be brave, Sally-cat!
I have never thought about turkeys in that way Vi
Bye Sally, have fun
Did you know that it is only the make turkey that goes gobble gobble, the femail clucks only
whats a femail?
I didn't know that.
what's a make?
I didnt know that FM, I can sleep at nights now LOL
LOL Vi
Whats the point ...... *sigh*
Keep trying FM
I'm drunk on cait's whine fumes ;)
Gosh, we could get jobs as proofreaders, couldn't we?
cait's not whining!
As long as you're not drunk on Channel No 6.
Hic Dont blame me
I want to!
so when there is gobbling and clucking some bonding may be going on
Only if we're allowed to tease the writers as we go.
Its FMs fault
Babble! What can you be suggesting?
Whooops! PB for me. =(
Nah my TV only goes as far as #5 ROFL
PB Vi!
lol, FM!
Ha Ha Vi.....off you go
BabRab must be trying to titivate us! ;)
And us as innocent as the driven snow.
Oh I say!
Driven on snow, maybe.
Thish wine is geting my englise much beter as i sade it wood
I am merely suggesting that based solely on the sounds at least two are in proximity
Usually turkeys hang out with a gobbler and a whole harem of cluckers.
caitlyn, that must be some powerful stuff you've got there.

Bye FM great to see you, see you soon
Ah, the egghead. Anorak wearer, is he? I should switch on to see.
Had a bit of an accident this morning. A truck identical to the one at the below link took a corner too sharply and hit the trike. It has sufferred minor damage, and ihave some sore muscles and a back flare-up but further no injuries. Walter was alrady at school. http://www.tachyon.nu/p/z/217/9294.jpg /d%2011795/lgnl
very very much so
Oh dear.....this is making me feel guilty, I must go and cook also.See you all tomorrow.........bye
Bye caitlyn.
I'll head kitchenward as well. Bye for now!
Bye Haz!
bye dear!
Bye....
For the record I was able to reach the head of the comapany whose truck it is and he wants to work with me to reach a settlement of some soirt. The driver did not stop. Might not be aware he hit me, despite my runing after the truick waving my arms.
Big truck, small trike.
i think teaset should count.
Me too!
i am taking a two-part "advanced" excel course. this morning was the first part. i only learned a little bit, but the second part should be almost all stuff i don't know yet! :)
Good luck and have fun! I took a very very simple excel course a while back... I'm sure you blow me out of the water.
you'll have fuuuuuun
*hates excel courses*
yes i can't wait to learn all about macros
and pivot tables
I will admit to not enjoying mine....
Now THAT would be interesting!
oh ... them. you'll have fun :P
i'm sure i could figure out pivot tables on my own if i had data that NEEDED pivot tabling, but i never have.
I had to go on a 2 week advanced excel course a few years ago, I wanted to stab the thing by the end of it!
I am not entirely certain why one would want a table to pivot nor in which way it could do it. Buit I'd like to be.
they gave us CDs with practice data sets so that will be nice. i hate having to make up my own data in order to learn how to do something.
pivot tables, from what i gather, have to do with when you really sort of have "three-dimensional" data
Mine was for school. The Word one bored me to tears. Thank goodness they let me test out of English! I corrected the test. They accepted that as proof of competence.
yes. or you want to be able to compare 3 sets of data in one table
Really sort of have three dimensional data. OK, I love it!
OH! Gotcha.
hello babble land - MG!!! Hurshy!!! ooh, I am already happy I dropped in....
The "How's your English?" test included such questions as, "If you are wanting to reach the desk dial three times zero." and then a question about that in Dutch. You see why I corrected it.
HI TRIF!!!!
Here's a link to a pic of a truck exactly like the one that hit the trike this morning, Trif: http://www.tachyon.nu/p/z/217/9294.jpg /d%2011795/lgnl
howdeeee. back from breakfast with the brits, and ignoring the mountain of housework so I can babble - normal!
The word Tachyon stuck with me so I was able to track the company down. Love tachyon particles.
hi trif!
They go backward and forward in time at the same, errr, time.
Plus it's a not infrequent Babble phantom.
Yes, I heard you mention it this morning....I am so glad you were not seriously injured,and that walter was already at school. And you just got your new trike! what a pisser.
hello all
the photo makes it so much more chilling - how ever did you escape so unscathed? i would still be shaking....
hello peri, and ata, and everyone else
Yeah, it was really scary but in the end very minor. The guy wants to work with me on it, he says, which he'd better because under Dutch law hitting a person=powerewd vehicla with a motorized one and then leaving is Bad Bad Bad.
but if you are speaking to him, surely he didn't just leave, right?
I'm only a little shakey. I was stopped in a separate bike lane well behind the line and he took the corner too fast. Just another couple cm and he would have dragged the trikle though. I was just lucky.
omg, mg! You are BLESSED, not just lucky....
I tracked down the companmy from the truck's logo and reached the manager. The driver probably didn't even know he hit me, but he SHOULD: I was in teh rearview mirror running and waving my arms for half a block.
I did discuss it with the police and they said that if they stop cooperating about a settlement I can file a report at any time, doesn't have to be today.
I also e-mailed my doctor so it's on the record that I have sore muscles and a back flare-up.
wow, sounds like the law is really well written over there. the police sound as if they were most helpful, also. that is a relief
THIS law is well written, anyway. And the police do tend to be helpful, although I do have some complaints about their handling of the attempted assault by our ex-landlord a couple of years ago.
Attempted assault is not punishable by law here. To be fair the cop involved didn't like that either.
geesh! well, at least you have followed all the proper channels on your end. you have done very well! I am proud of you!
Awww, shucks. I was just upset and angry... and then mollified by the manager's attitude. Let's hope he stays cooperative. I hate court.
me too.
assault must a different crime in the Netherlands in the US fear of bodily is an assault and actual contact if a battery
I am always afraid I am going to start crying. I always do, when confronted with big authority, or something that even looks scary, like a judge at a big table. HATE that about myself. I have the leakiest eyes in history!
The time that dweeb sued my husband (LONG story) spuriously, though, ity was WAY fun watching him squirm in court.
does the person who loses have to pay all court costs in holland?
o, BabRab, well put. Yes, it is different here-- I asked, "So if someone throws a brick at my head and misses that is attemptesd assault and not punishable?" and they said yes, it's only assault if it hits you.
Yes Trif.
maybe that guy in iraq could use that defense...the shoe didn't HIT Bush, just whizzed by.....
We have no "no win no fee" system though.
Where was the secret service? To quote the Simpsons, "HA HA!"
what a bad shot...if I woman had whiffed a pump, it would have hit him, dead on. We learn that from the cot.
I HOPE he can get away with it... he was using a local protest form, after all.
that is what we fought for, to bring democracy to iraq, right? protesting is a form of expression in a free society, right?
True, except I was a tomboy and never wore pumps... Did learn the fingernail trimmmming tricks though, and how to defend myself with a door key. Wasn't a good area.
Exactly.
But to be fair, we who? America, love it or leave it, they say. I am no longer a US citizen.
bbs
mind you, I hope those same secret service guys aren't assigned to Obama. He needs better protection than those clowns.
*arrives and starts reading* are we discussing Bush's ninja moves?
does seem odd that only an actual assault is a crime --- if someone attempts to run another over the victim who evades the vehicle provides his attacker a defense
You should hear my Iraqui co-worker on the subject of this supposed democracy...
I keep thinking of Austin Powers, actually - "honestly! Who throws a SHOE? You fight like a woman!"
BabRab, I agree and think I did get the short end of the stick on that one.
good point, bab - hadn't thought of it that way...
Maybe when it is life endangering it's different. I should have been more forceful about how Walter was endangered by the flying door.
Did mash the guy's hand with the door defending myself. Quite pleased about that.
the best part of the bush thing is the idiot reporters trying to go all analytical about it "we are getting reports that it was a soft-soled shoe...." "now, we have an expert here in Middle eastern footwear, with a diagram of a typical Iraqi shoe...." gag
Hee hee hee!
what is sad about the incident is reports that the iraqi has been beat up according to his brother
oh, a phantom today is reminding me of one of the best books I ever read - "Maus" - does anyone here know it?
who beat him up?
beat up in custody
who
The secret service beat the crap out of him. Serious facial damage, says Iraqi TV.
US custody, or Iraqi police?
Maus I know as a comic from the 80-90's...
that's lovely. where were they when he was throwing the shoes?
Says my Iraqi co-worker.
Iraqi ... I suppose enhanced interrogation methods
heh If you watch the whole thing, Bush was even surprised people are asking about the shoe. He was like "It's a shoe. It's just someone wanting attention. Like when someone yells or gestures without all five fingers..."
Yup, that's the one. just an amazing book. the pictures are so poignant, and the story is amazing
i just finished reading that myself
( the iraqi..not maus )
Exactly. Could they harbopr secret sentiments? Like, ding dong the witch is dead? Flying monkeys dancing with joy when Bush melts?
I thought it was weird that after the throwing was over they all started rushing in - from another room! They really were not too on the ball
seriously. those could have been daggers he was throwing
u know..IF the reporter didn't get hurt I would almost 1/2 wonder did they plant him....since bush "took it so well" and the press was complementing him for once...especially on his way out ...
ya know in a situation like that, you don't want the SS standing between him and everything. There is no way they could have been present to 'defend' him and the meeting not look like he is scared of a bunch of reporters.
Good point. But uyou put it past them to plant him and then beat him up? I don't.
I think erring on the side of caution is always appropriate. I personally think Obama had better wear a bullet proof vest and a helmet everywhere he goes. People are just so keyed up about his safety!
well..i suppose..what is a broken arm when u get a few grand...
and keep in mind, we have been TOLD he was beat up. We saw him throw the shoes
the beating is over the top and yes I do doubt they 'planted' him. I think if he was planted, he would stabed Bush or something
It is not freedom if you are scared to live your life
Oh yes. Obama is going to be a popular target. There is no way he doesn't know that, which makes him reek of dedication and integrity. I really hope things are actually changing!
Obama is going to be more popular of a target in the States than abroad at least.
me too. and the biggest bummer is that if something does happen to Obama, chances are it won't be a militant foreign terrorist, but a plain old American born and raised racist pig.
I also doubt he was planted. But if they DID plant him I wouldn't believe for a second they would hesitate to beat him up. If, as you aptly point out, that did happen.
and how shameful, on our part
you watch enough episodes of 24 and you can believe anything, after a while
i did not say he was planted.... I said....if he wasn't hurt I would have to wonder IF he was planted
Yes, so he has chosen to risk being a martyr for good. I thought I would never respect a politician again what with the trends of teh last decades but I am starting to be impressed.
carleekat happy birthday!
Oh I know, we're just runningw ith it Carlee.
thanks TO :)
All I was saying was that even if he was hurt it wouldn;t makeme assume he wasn't planted. But he probably wasn't., and I realize you weren't saying he was.
luckily i am still dresssed for your party! :)
Me too!
hehehe..thanks :) was a good day..relaxed and nice....one of best I've ever had :)
I think the last election was a test of how the American public really will just go with any gag candidate, but then with the economy it became serious and Obama stepped up to show he was actually trying and not being a stage show
I guess there have been conflicting reports about a beating: one of his brothers said on Al-Baghdadia that he had spoken by telephone with Mr. Zaidi and he told him, “Thank God, I am in good health,†The A.P. reported.
carlee, I didn't know it was your bday, but now that I do, I hope you have a wonderful day :)
I felt bad for whomever won. who on earth would want to inherit this pile of stink?
not only just trying...but was Intelligent AND surrounded himself with intelligent people
And now he's taking good action on th eenvironmental front and everything...
sorry hi all
mind you, he won't have to do very much to seem so much better than what we have had....
BR... he likely would have said..." thank god am good" which in muslim/ arab culture..is standard answer first...no matter if u good bad ugly or on death bed
There is an old saying that nobody who WANTS to be President ever should... but maybe that doesn't apply here...
as I heard it, it's that anybody who wants power never should have it, and vice versa.
The last time we were eligeable to vote US we wrote in Frank Zappa. He was GOING to run, before the cancer...
david broder said that anyone who campaigns two years to be president is unfit to govern
i think obama wants to "lead"
oh god, the very idea is hilarious! Dynamo Hum could be the new anthem....oh, I am rolling....
I am so in love with you, Monkey....
I actually, and this is hard for me to say because it is so DARNED unusual, think he wants to Change things for the Good. Whether he leads or whatever.
political parties exist to acquire, maintain and exploit power for intended beneficiaries ... any benefit the elecorate receives is incidental
yea..i agree..I think hillary and obama..."give a damn"....they really believe n their country
( this grid sucks)
okay, not to get off subject, but what's a fish on here? Is it one of those words that leaps out and smacks you after you have been staring at the grid for an hour?
A very interesting book is Gore Vidal's "Empire". It is a history of the founding days of the US, and the title says it all. Excellent book, very thought provoking. And yes, sucky gri. Been a lot of those lately... oh well, Sturgeon's law.
I hope you are right. I just hope he has the intelligence to realize he has to be President first and Democrat second. Altho selecting Hillary is a Democrat move to 'heal' the party and not a Presidential one.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous. (So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new bamboozles rise.)" -- Carl Sagan (1934-1996), Astro-physicist
fish....easy word u SHOULD have seen..but needed a clue to find
thanks carlee.
Yes, that selection is a soothing gesture, but that COULD mean he's a good diplomat... only time will tell. Got my hopes up though, and i thought those days were long gone.
excellent quote babrab
Yes, I second that.
At least Hillary is qualified to run something, unlike the morons Bush kept putting in charge of stuff, like that idiot that mucked up the hurrican relief so badly.
I think hillary was both a democratic and a presidential move....obama going to be so bloody freakin busy with economics..he NEEDS someone smart and respected in other countries to deliver and receive messages on his part...say what u will about hillary..she plays the game...
Yes. They finally name a hurricane after me and THAT happens. I did not mean to whup those states. Sorry.
I was impressed with her quashed and long-ago health plans.
If you are fundamentally opposed to an idea, it is difficult to be an effective diplomat. This is why they changed how to select vice president from simply being 'runner-up' to selected by the candidate
well one t hing is for sure: big Government will be back big time
u mean its NOT big gov't NOW???!
No it is corporate government right now.
oh, hey TO - my son's girfriend got in to LaSalle yeseterday, so do keep an eye out for her come September, okay? :)
didn't I hear a report that the "gov't" was bigger now then when the clintons left?
no carlee, we are not nearly as big it could be
Christian right wing corporate government.
oops - gotta run! lost track of time, as per usual. back tonight to finish, kisses all!
oops - gotta run! lost track of time, as per usual. back tonight to finish, kisses all!
If hillary had gotten Pres over obama, it would be ridiculously huge, and that is why I thought him selecting her was a bad move
later trifs
the national debt doubled under bush's watch and the budget deficit next year will be the largest in history
Bye Trif! Bye Trif!
it's actually smaller. however, much is hidden in that it has been contracted out. anything that is not "inherently governmental" can be contracted out.
hi babblers
hi tingy
and the contracts are no bid and less effective
We have quite a sucky regime here ourselves, under Harry Potter... I mean Belkenende. He was elected ona sympathy vote for the assasinated right wing racist guy killed by someone against fur farmiong.
I mean BAlkenende...
indiana guardsmen are suing a contractor at a site with a toxic substance all over that causes cancer
Is that still going on, or is this a new case?
however, with Obama's new wpa and in reaction to deregulation that enabled the financial fiasco, the pendulum will swing back and IMHO a lot will become inherently governmental again.
bush simply did not worry about congress
I do, I repeat, have my hopes up.
ARGH..i just realised my fingers are purple again...frig..i JUST get the stains out and they are back again... I live with bleach on my hands anymore
babrab: all of our contract here a definitely bid. however, low bid and best value bid are two different prcurement techniques.
cheney said we must become a nation of men King George ignored the constitution and the law
one can argue the merits of each
cheney was an ass when we worked for him and is a bigger one now.
( lets not forget cheney shoots his friends first )
OK, mindless entertainment on! Catch you folks later!

Darn. I was hoping you would say, "No, there's another before that," and then I would know! lol
Back with tea and bics
Yay! Life is compleat!
Tis indeed :)
I never never never see the cat talk!
Did you manage to iron all your shoe laces and husbands socks?
me neither lyn
lynxxx? Are you feeling well? *checks lynxx for fever*
Curses! I forgot the socks!
LOL
tyvm lynxx I forgot it as well
At least I'm not the ironing socks!
Lynxx I always miss that one too
Oh, that cat talking. That's because the cat never spells its words the same way twice, stupid thing.
Sometimes I wonder what language that cat is speaking, anyway. French today, I think.
Who knew there were so many variant sp on that one?!
of all the things to iron, socks and shoe laces seem among the least import, but maybe not to the eclectic types *shrug*
Ridiculous. The only thing a cat should be saying anyway is "purr."
icepyro, you have made a very accurate and important observation. Shoelaces and socks are, indeed, the most completely useless things to iron, even among a very competitive field of ironables.
I only iron what is absolutely necessary, if I am wearing a shirt/blouse and a sweater on top, I only iron what others will see of the shirt
and that was the hotly debated topic this afternoon (grin)
do people on here iron their sheets?
I iron nothing except the quilts I'm sewing.
No way!
Who was it on here who was teaching that sheets with a diamond in them were bad luck?
ok, just checking
being the true bachelor that I am, I do good to make the bed and that's usually when I just washed the sheets, so ironing is right out on that
I iron pillow cases only, and the one doona cover (pure cotton) which refuses to come out of dryer uncreased
is a doona cover like a duvet
6
Do you mean an open diamond Vi in a duvet (yes Peri)
go peri
But my grandmother used to iron my grandfather's briefs.
um yes I do iron pillow cases but that is it. Used to irom duvet covers and sheets when married fir an emoror size bed - 7 foot sq of linen swamped me every time!
I mean that if you fold sheets with the corners not quite right then it gets a diamond-shaped crease there when it's unfolded. Somebody was of the opiniont hat this was a dreadful thing.
Fabrics have come a long way - hooray
it looks dreadful, best not to fold them then, just screw them up in a big ball and toss them in the cupboard (closet)
Sheesh, don't you people have some Babble to play or something? First it's pillow cases "but that is it," and the next thing you know, mark my words, it will come to shoelaces.
lol Vi, I so don't worry about that sort of thing
Have to poof - work (yes I know) is calling have a 10pm deadline TTFN
Awwww, bye FM!
bye FM
lol vi
bye FM
I must get going too. Bye everyone
bye lynxxx
Bye, then, lynxxx! Don't spend too much time on those pillowcases!
well I guess I will take this break to dive back to the grid... 133 left =\
hello babblers
Hello, Liz!
Vicuna!
You're just in time to weigh in with your thoughts on ironing! lol
A real Vicuna!!!
It's been a recurring motif in the chat log all day.
My thoughts on ironing....hmmm...I love it! No, relly...
*really*
"Will the real Vicuna please stand up..."
he is standing up in your icon :)
Yep. =)
Oh Liz, i've been looking for you, how are things? hope you and yours haven't lost jobs due to them taking their ball away
And KatieMcG, as well!
Hello Katie. No fortunately we have been amongst the lucky ones
big Barclay sulk!
Its all been quite soul destroying right this close to Christmas and all
I'm glad. It's hard to believe that people can behave like that in this day and age, it's so unreasonable no matter what your view on their proposals, obviously democracy is not something they hold dear
*patches up a nice new soul with duct tape and offers it to Liz*
Irony is the word of the day :) They had 7 seats on our parliament before, they then pushed for democracy even though we were happy the way we were and now they dont have any seats!!!!! Ha!
a stick to hit the barclay brothers would probably be more use!!
Thank you Vicuna :) I am hoping to meet some real vicunas when I go to Peru next year
a very big stick lol
If you do, give them my love. I don't expect that I'll see them any time soon. =(
I thought of you as soon as I heard the story, see babble is expanding my places of interest due to chat friends
They are so beautiful
Will you go to Macchu Picchu? I want to go SOOOO badly!
Aw thanks Katie, I have had lots of lovely messages from people
finally, fireworks for me
wtg peri
Vicuna I am trekking the inca trail plus a bit extra for charity
I'm off to bed now, see you all tomorrow :-)
wtg Peri :)
congrats peri
ANd you've already been to Petra, which is another place on my List of Longing... *envy, envy*
Bye Katie and thanks for thinking of me
Yay for peri!
thanks, see you all tomorrow
Goodnight, Kaie!
*giggles* sorry Vi! Maybe I should shut up now :)
Katie. WHoever you are!
No, no. *smiles with selfless generosity* I'm glad you'll have the opportunity.
Tell you what Vi - tell me where else you want to go and I'll add it to my list :) Then I can fill you in later :)
lol. Egypt is right up there...
Ooo yes, the Sinai desert is already on my hit list
There are lots of amazing sites in Asia, but they're so spread out from one another it'd be hard to put together a trip that could see many...
Once upon a time we had booked a trip to Egypt. I was so excited and looking forward to it... Then 9/11 happened and I got pregnant (no connection) and that was the end of that plan. Sigh.
Oh no what an awful shame :(
We had a cruise booked on the Oriana when I found out I was pregnant and messed that holiday up lol
We did manage a trip to Hawaii when I was 6 months pregnant and as big as a normal single-baby at full term, but we didn't dare leave the country.
So, when are you going to Peru?
Setting off to Peru on 12th September 2009
Okay, so still quite a while to look forward to it. =)
We're still fundraising at the moment
Of course. You need lots of time for that.
We are in the middle of a string of jumble sales and stuff - hard work but rewarding in the end
Very impressive. Keep it up!
Thank you :)
Well, Vi, think I'm off to bed now. Happy babbling :)
Goodnight, Liz!
Bye :)
jumbly wumbly bumbly

hello all! how's the grid? jumped in before I saw the size.
need one more F. have fr x 5
NVM -- "most so" *sigh*
hi stiddy!
what's up? isn't it about midnight for you?
hey ata, i made up a new song for mitten today
hey hurshy! I need one more T(r)... wanna guess which one? I have a TR 7/32 already
see that girl, watch her preen she is the dairy queen... *doo doo doo*
i will guess... tr4/7
:-D cute song, hurshy!
I have a tr 4/7...
then i will guess the tr4/4 that comes after it
oops. it was a plural! *blush*
okay, grey left column, thanks to hurshy!
no, thanks to monkeys
or whoever it is that checks for plural fish
actually -- not the monkeys... it was thinking that if I got the 4/7, then it was probably obvious. and then that S in the middle hit me between the eyes, and said, "hey! dummy! over here!" and there it was...
ah
can't fin dmy As, can't find my As ...
*giggle* atalante can't find her AAAAs.... *grin*
they're all words you know
i'm sure!
well do you want some help?
no .... not yet
ok just checking
I am eating an entire roll of Necco (choclit) candy. by myself. right now. *notices another seam on the jeans giving way* self-destruction R me
why do all the deliciousest things have to be so fattening
except water.
I am up to 105 already... want to get halfway and NBT before I leave. won't be back in time to finish this one.

aha! halfway!
woohooo!
good afternoon everyone! *hands stid socks and cocoa* (brr)
hello kristinc! *puts socks on feet and hands in cocoa* thanks!
*offers scarf and mittens to kristinc*
how are you-all doing? staying home and safe, I hope!
down to 100...
thanks you! our house is FREEZING! (I'm under the covers)
*adds three quilts and fuzzy warm blankie to offering*
I would lend you my dog, but he's finally happy lying down...
we're good actually. I went to work today and the roads are fine...it is just wicked cold out for my taste :)
heya ata (sorry to bore you with all our bellyaching)
yes, too cold for us as well -- still a sh5 of ice on the (only) road we have to use to get to the highway (which is fine) to get into town.
well, does that mean you get a day or two off school then stid?
well, the children started late yesterday -- I am hoping for no cancellations (it means we go longer in the summer). My classes were over end of last week.
oooh! greyed the Z.
Tom is going to go get the first kid from school... I am feeling less than lovely suddenly. tummy is NOT happy.
awwwwww
gotcha, yes, we if miss 1 more day at work, we have have to go into the summer to and our issue is that we run out of $ to pay staff that are usually off in the summer so that always gets dicey
yikes! Hope you improve soon stid.
afternoon, all
heya jes
yes, it's not a great thing later, though I admit that it's rather nice to have enforced "quiet" days at home.
hey jes -- you probably wouldn't find our weather and cold all that awful, would you?
did you find a home for that lovely puppy?
i dunno. is it wet? i don't like the cold and wet. though it was -7F when I left for work this morning
yep, stid, he's happily adjusting to a new place with 2 larger dogs to terrorize. now i have a cat instead.
it is DRY and cold -- more snow expected overnight.
oh my! you are quite the half-way house for wayward critters, aren't you?
apparently. know anybody that needs a christmas kitty? cute little bugger. key word there being little; he's less than 4 pounds.
I wish I could, jes -- but I can't have cats... *sigh* my mother reacts so badly (hives)
now, if it were only my father who gets the reaction... *wicked grin*
I'm working on twisting arms in our house for another kitty! :) (too soon now though). Is that him in your icon jes?
heh
yup, that's him, kris
cutie pie!
I'd have him if I could. I specialise in tiny cats
he is adorable! (said with tres french accent)
I thought you specialized in hobbits!
hobbits too!
but Sily is about 4 lb too
*grin* my Lucky wants to help get the kid from school...
duh, got the As!
well, he'll be bigger once he's going again, right now he's really thin. happily though, he seems to be perking up. he's grooming, and that's the first time i've seen him do that yet :)
YES! I got an 8!
oh that's fab!
urgh. time to take the teabag out of the pot... Tom takes such good care of me. brb
ugh..Rs :(
YES! another 8!
go stid go!
those Fs on the lowest row are tough.
whoohoo, stid!
down to 65...
I have to leave as soon as Tom gets back with the stidkid though... probably won't have time to finish.
I have two AE and two AM and one AT what am I missing please?
ae
thanks atalante
i'm not starting; i'm just here to pester you guys :)
ae8 probably
good for you jes! keep up the good (non)fight!
yes, atalante, that will be it..
but not anymore! As away!
jes, how about teleporting and typing in my last 6 at least? :)
heh. if i could teleport, kris, i'd be in huge demand for things that pay better money than finishing babble grids ;)
true jes, I probably couldn't afford to retain your services then :)
but I just found me some fireworks so all is well :)
If I could teleport... *considering what I might do* I think I would go visit my friends in Virgina whom I haven't seen in nearly 19 years.
YAY kristinc!
I would teleport to Hawaii (or maybe to Denmark to see my brother...don't tell hime Hawaii came up first).
down to 52 now...
can I help anyone with clues before I depart?
what is brother doing in denmark? thought he was in portland!
If I could teleport I wouldn't go anywhere, I would teleport whatever I want to me instead. Or maybe I'd teleport some of my fat to the ocean or something
hello ice!
it's icy here today...
He married a girl from Denmark stid. He's been there about 2 years. My parents do live in PDX though so good memory!
HI

we have snow on the grassy areas, the wind blew it all out of the tr5. BUT it's supposed to snow again tonight. This mama might have her kids home for winter break early.
Good. My cat is still a sook
we're a little chilly here (at least in my poorly insulated house) in the NW lady. Zach is loving the snow/ice though.

Hi herin ...I am from Irish, Scottish, Alsatian(not the dog) background.
I noticed that you had the Lyre (that is right yes) harp
I have ancestors from Alsatz... about 200 years ago they emigrated to the U.S.
thanks stid and lady...have a great day as well.
yes.. I have an Irish harp, a troubador harp, a leprechan harp, and Yseult harp, a triple stringed Venezualan harp and a full size concert harp.
OH wow. I am sure there is another babbler that plays/played whos child playued the harp
That's about the same time mine came over from what is now Nancy,France.
wow! thats a lot of harping, aeb! *grin* one of my best friends also harps a lot.
ours were from near strasbourg. leininger was the name they spoke german but insisted they were french. *shrug*
Random fact: My b.fs family owned land in Normandy France till they had to give it back to the peoples
I believe harpjane is another harper
yah....but I'm not a harpy! The last info on ancestors by my was in answer to ur question, Stid....I'm just a slow typist.
I think there is another babbler that has a mini teen that plays harp. THis is going to bug me all day
*image of aeb with little bat wings while playing the venezuelan harp*
ah, this lemon tea is delightful, would any of you care for some?
oh well...Same problem here...but I do have a picture of the old,old homestead. Now I am truly a mixed breed American.
lol Stid
I am a mutt too aeb. irish, german, french, scots and english mostly
25 to go! gotta go give baths
maybe we're related...ancestors came thru Canada(Brampton,Ontario) to the U>S>
go harry go! congrats in advance of finishing
I think I am from first settler stock I am not sure I really need to ask my bio mum
my earliest came to the new netherlands (forgot the dutch) and new england in the 1630s. most recent was from germany in the 1930s
the leiningers made port in New Orleans in the 1840s I think and settled in Ohio, though my branch later moved to Iowa
hey herin that must make u the "original " Woodstock....ha...ha
hello all
I would have to look that up again for the year, it has been several months since I looked...
Hi Jill
hello jill dear! who is chinese but not by ancestry...
Something like that Ab or a convict
hi jillibus
I am adopted so i don't know
hey... Stid I knew Leiningers from Cleveland , Ohio...my birth place....small world!!!
we are just discussing our ancestry, jill -- comparing trees.
aeb, to get your flag, go to your My Account and click on the little square, top right, which says Show Profile :)
herin - random aussie question - is there official separation of church and state in Australia?
WOW! yes, they were probably distant cousins of mine!
ah, there is Tom with the stidkid. My turn to go brave the roads to get the other one.
ty ..Jilli....going right to it
there is giant burrowing Cockroachs on the telly bler
*random hugs* back later!
I don't know Ata. There should be but I wonder sometimes
I'm afraid I'm just boring scottish-english.
ty, just wondering from another random convo I'm having on msn about such things!
LOL jill -- you are anything BUT boring! gotta go.... *poof*
stid -- it's VERY icy here -- to slippery on the hill to drive safely so I'm still stuck!
Ata we don't have anything offical.

oh yes???
by the way all...I go by musica... I tried to change that from my email for the profile...didn't work.
ok, musica it is from now on :)
ty all.......
Hey, musica, I was born in Cleveland. Have we had this conversation before? There are so many Ohioans on Babble that I lose track!
it might get shortened to musi...
Last night small fry to the vets. Most animals go ''screw that im out of here'' not here she just fluffed up and hunkered down on the scales. 5.8 kilo of fluff. After the injects she looked at me ''you betrayed me'' and then climed into my arms refusing to get down. Funny but cute
awwwwwwwwwww
hello again - another tuesday night, and once again I am holed up at the public library, as Mr. Hate has the children....at least I have the area to myself this week! No scowling man to turn me in for laughing!
that's ok jilli its sure shorter than aebmusica.
It was terribly cute. Apart from the second shower I needed due to the fact I was covered in cat hair
HI Trigs
Abe! you are looking very pro today!
hi trif!
hey all. made it to 58 left without listing...not too shabby!
wb trif
And then she needed more cuddles at home so more fur. So 3 showers in one day.
hey Tri was that message for me?
back in a bit...
yes aeb. I like your harp
ty...nice to meet your Trif.
that is a lot of fur...
Trifioso, just before you arrived, she was saying she wants to be called musica.
Yes Ice she is kind of molting. I need to bath her
oh okay - hello musica
=D
=D
vicuna, I went to ohio state, did I tell you that before?
Wow, I'm doubley smiley.
true Vic... but not everyone comes to chat at the same time....so I'll probably be asking a few more times to be called musica.
people will get there eventually!
hi Trif
No, I don't think so, Trifioso. And you're near Boston now? I left Ohio for college, but I too am outside of Boston now.
vicuna, I am sorry for being dense, but HOW many children do you have?
hi peeps!
2
hi Ata...what do u liked to be called?
HI TO
whatever :)
And the thought of other people's children is enough to make anyone's brain sut down! ;)
*shut
Yes, vic, I grew up here on the south shore of boston, went to OSU, traveled for a good deal, and then settled back down on the south shore when I wanted to raise my children
Why OSU?
Ata at Atat
my dad was a prof there (surgery/trauma center) and I liked the campus, and I wanted to go to an out-of-state school, and I wanted to get to know my dad. A lot of reasons, actually
Ahhh, so there was quite a bit of a connection.
i know I just got here, but does anyone have a clue for the to 6,21?
to6/21 - it's a lot like the o5 one.
sounds like the O 2 square neither either ?

HI Mix
Hello herin, thank you so much for suggesting Target
hey peri
I got dressed really quickly right after your post and went to Target which is around the corner from me and bought the Hungry Hippo game for $15.00.
I think only three letter words should begin with vowels.
OH you got it Peri WONDERFUL. So happy for you
but then one of the words in your statement wouldn't exist ;)
I can't believe that 22 odd years later its still popular
oh, Peri, you found it! YAY!!! Such a good feeling ,the gift score, isn't it?
yes, but they wouldn't be tripping me up in babble.
Clapping in happiness for you. I went to the Toy's R Us site and Hasbro the makers : SOLD OUT. Happy clapping for you
Yes it is, the clerk said he played the game when he was little too
not sure what youre talking about, but Ive seen a lot of comeback toys from the 80s lately
I just did not think of Target, thanks so much for suggesting it. You made my day, herin. And my great niece will really love it.
But still can't believe everyone wants one. Hungry Hungry Hippos Ice
just stopped in to say thanks to you herin. See you all tomorrow
well it's an awesome game! I still play when i get the chance
Good glad to help. I use the Target USA site a lot to ogle. AMazon is linked to target with some products.
bye peri
Thats ok Peri. Thank you. i am glad you got it
found one pesky e
Ice the E's are a pain
could I have a clue for re7/28 please?
re7 to say again.
thank you mixi

Trif, is the dancer in your icon your daugher?
bye flosey, enjoy supper!
yes, that is she
lovely,
does she dance in competitions?

to6 rhymes with not your father
sometimes you just can't see it, smiles :-)
smiles, I actually find it comforting to know I am not the only one who gets fish
I just quietly accumulate fish over here ;-)
I am apparently managing a koi farm
so THAT's what I smell!
OK fireworks Thanksf ro the helps and to bed I go...
ooo trif pretty I want one with a really long tail
as long as they are live fish, i hate the smell of wet fish!

Yahoo red!

OH PINI - thank god! Did you get the icon in real life, or is it just one you have uploaded? if it's real, do you have a pattern for a K?
Night red. sleep well, Hi Pini and all else again
hi mama
Oh, Trif...no, I found it online...I simply googled "Letter P" and then changed to "images"...I found a ton of different ones and I've been rolling through them...I can probably find a K for you if you'd like! ;)
Im back for one last word search
Hey Lidny
zoet
i would love a pattern for a similarly styled k, but I can search myself....
LIndy*
...and having done a quick look...there's a K just like my P
I dont think that works dluc lol
It's on Page 4 of the google search I just did! :)
thanks pini!
You're very welcome! ;)
gotta go, gotta get up early )0:, cya tomorrow xxx
bye lind
Bye Lind

wtg mamawa
wtg mama
So I am out for now. If I dont get a snow/ice day the girls start showing up at 6:45 am
wtg trif!
Night all
help for the second me5/12?
wtg trif
now I go into withdrawl until the frest start tomorrow
it's the one right after the american measurement spelling
cool trif
but you have a new letter pattern to work on!! ;)
that's the third one....me 5 = me+ 1st half of one ball (sorry ladies!)
thanks, trifi!!
indeed, pini. think i will go look that up...nitey nite!
thx trif...got it! ;)
hi smiles!
bye trif
anything for you, smiles
oh gosh, pini - do I pay the $14.50 for it, or just try to make my own pattern - and complete it before christmas???
Helloooooo everyone :-)
hi blueandamy
hi jmc!! how are you?
sleepy
awwww... long day at work?
Trif, I'd make my own pattern!
very trying to change over my data base into something I can actually use
...if that fails, then consider ordering. But it looks easy enough...don't you think?
it sounds draining... but probably will be a worthwhile project once it's done, right?
it sounds draining... but probably will be a worthwhile project once it's done, right?
I am a bit worried about the squiggly black in the middle. Of course, I could go through my library and see it I have any initial caps....just really like the look of that one
the first re5 pls?
that's the theory but I am not sure law school trains you for data base work well enough ;-)
smiles, it's really a pretty stupid word. anagram of the re 5.10
no, that's the one i need
i feel really dumb but i can't get that last em4/6
Trif...are you referring to the border stitching on the letter itself?
smiles - find the other re 5.10 and jumble the last three letters.
hmmm i don't have that one either, smiles
thanks, trifi
I think the stitching inside the letter, yes
ty trif
de riend
boy, was that dumb
rien
what does that even mean?
more retarded?
hahaha oh that IS a dumb word
i just found it
Trif! If you click on it and then on the letter again...it's a CROSSTITCH pattern...you could simply print it out and start "counting"!
yes, I knew that pini. I just don't know how much resolution the image might have, and it does feel a bit like stealing. mostly because it IS
clue for the first ae?
ae is a word for a highly artistic, cultured person
one who esteems art
I don't know that it's stealing...it's on the internet and it's one letter...the resolution that I have is pretty detailed. (At least IMHO)
good evening all! Can anyone help with which is most likely a fish? The first DE 6/21? Please? Thanks!
its not a fish, it's more enable nonsense. de = de+ what you walk the dog with, minus inital letter
de6/21 = The Mojave De****
need the first re6/21
whoops, sorry - i thought you meant the first de word...DEUH
and my duh clue for the last em4? the one that's making me feel really dumb? anyone?
make hot again smiles
it sounds like a kind of comfy chair
smiles, to warm something again
thanks pini; it WAS a fidh. she said
last em = em + countries that use euro
shirlockc, think flightless bird and add an extra vowel after the cons
I don't have that em either saan sorry
no, i got the hot one
it's the one right after it
i could have sworn i tried that one pini!
em (afganie tribal chieftain)
smiles re = re + cons + french water
ty trif and pini
ty trif, again
okay, I really am going now...see you in the morning.
OK I have another "duh"..maybe too tired from dealing with snow and ice and heat and food.. please, what is FE7/40 please?
bye trif!
extend the fe4 before it...
okay I am heading out too I am falling asleep at the keyboard
with Eastern Standard Time (initial letters)
i gotta go help with a late dinner.... see y'all later ... bye jmc, sleep well!! :-)

i'm still working on it myself
looks like I missed Smiles. How's he feeling today?
not sure...didn't say .... didn't know anything was amiss
Thought he mentioned gallbladder problems yesterday, or Sunday.... not really sure.
ahhh...hadn't heard...seemed rather lively this evening...
anyway, time for bed. will try to get on earlier tomorrow.
I wouldn't have guessed he was having any trouble

Good job pini!

I have finished if you need Help. Hi Eeyore
Hello Herin!
How are you
How are you /
Tired. Busy night at work tonight. Just began my grid!
well you have 36 min
Will do my best. I'll just consider it practice for tomorrow
How are you this evening?
Good. Just finished cleaning the bathroom and cleaning out the dirt box and bathing the kitty
and yourself?
Bathing your kitty? You are VERY brave!
A bit chilly, but loving the snowfall!
She likes it
and she likes being dried of with a hair dryer. she si very very strang
I have a kitty that started peeing into the toilet, all on his own, at the age of 9. They are VERY strange creatures!
wow. Yes they are strange. What colour is your kitty?
One charcoal tiger; one big blonde.
And yours?
big white fluff ball about 13 pounds her pics are in my icon flickr page
Beauty!
she is fairly cute. Hates strangers. Has been known to hiss at people and run after them to hiss at them. she is strickely indoor cat harness trained.
I call that kind of kitty "spicy"!
yep
back...
howdy! ...how are y'all...been a bit wet today...and chilly, with more of the same due tonight and tomorrow...glad I'm getting my new tires...
Good eve mi'Lady...and Pini
Hello
Good morning all - Herin my daughter was told by vet not to bath her cat more than 3 times per year as mess with the natural oils on their skin ??
herin, your Persian rug is lovely -- mine looks awful here but ok if you click on it
we're at 12F right now and expecting iced rain over the next 2 days...
Hey JIlli!...sorry about that...clicked the wrong "x" and "poof" off I went...good thing I wasn't playing!!...hmmm Persian rugs...bbrs
Jill is that your REAL Persian rug. Hi anyone i missed whilst reading post secret
Rotten weather all over N America, Pini -- we had a "big" snowfall here and roads are now icy -- more snow expected tomorrow. Here in southern BC they don't know how to cope with snow as they do in Quebec -- it's so rare.
No, herin -- I don't have a persian rug.
Ursh I do not wash her all the time. As that can happen. I was her maybe every 2 or 3 months as she is white. I also use it as a time to flea wash her too
Jill the rug is pretty
We have been having a lot of rain which causing high humidity and huge problem with fleas on animals - monthly spot on not helping now have to use 2 per month and am worried about pets general health as double poison for them
Temp here now at 9:45 pm is +1C, 33F.
Um your best bet is to flea your whole house and their beds too
Never had a flea problem here or in Quebec
hello everyone
Hi trisha
hiya ursh,,,,,,,,
We don't usually get snow in December...and when we do get snow in January it usually only lasts a few hours (sometimes we get a week's worth in January) so this just seems a bit odd...
where are you ursh?
hi trisha
Pini you have snow?
same here, Pini
Durban South Africa - Pinikula
We woke to a blanket yesterday morning! about 4-6" worth!
Morning trisha
wowo
Pini, if you click on ursh's icon you will see she's in S. Africa, and that's her flag too.
Oh, wow, ursh...must be rather warm down there...
Hi trisha
OK, I got almost half in about 30 minutes...and that is way too much for my tired brain! Good night everyone!

Hi ladies...and gents if any are lurking...just spotted this photo in an online gallery...me likey...but only wish I could afford something as nice...with the poopies, it'd be a wall hanging fer sure...!

Hi pav

oops ursh
te4 is a sea bird, te5 is brief speech
yummy. I should raid the freezer for vanilla chai

trisha, we don't post words in the grid, like the "dentures" you mentioned
gads, my babble crashed for a moment!
oh sorry,,,,,,will remember for next itme

I mean in the chat (tired!)

I have unleashed a monster bathing the kitty. She is now eating her feet
You should be here to see what happens after my puppy has a bath!
trisha -- t + poetry has a v****
I towel him off and then he proceeds to use my comforter as a bonus towel (while it's on the bed)!
or your car goes forward or rev****
cats must get recleaned
bad puppy
oh there u go,,,,,,,,THANK YOU........
Actually it's rather funny to watch...
wtg trisha
YAH TRISHA
yay trisha -- finished?
LOL,,,,,,that is such a good feeling,,,,,now i can go and shower and start the day properly
