Hi Jilli, Herin and Pini! Nice to see some familiar names, it has been a long time since I have played!!!
what do you guys mean when you write something like or6? This is only my second game and so far I have only found 25 words!
how is things?
welcome birdeee...
I am well! You?
or6 means there's a 6 ltr word that starts with OR
hello birdee! it means a word starting OR with 6 letters!
Hi Bird
you are doing well for this grid, birdee.
that's well done, birdee -- the or6 means a 6-letter word starting with or

morning all
hi sprite -- kje's been trying to email you but it keeps bouncing back -- she's been using bin_there
hi jilli, love the carpets! Email has not been changed, I think she might need to remove the spaces.
I gave her the other one to try, ok?
sure jilli
surely she knows to remove the spaces?
she's in the netherlands now
hi sprite
oh darn, I so want to see her while she is here! I just checked, I don't have an email from her on either addy, and I do have lots of other emails on both.
I'm off to bed, too tired, just past 1/2 way
goodnight all
be back in the morning
night flosey, sweet dreams. Great carpet!
she said she's going to see Van Gogh tomorrow
jilli, is she using her normal email?
she is in Amsterdam then, very close to me.
night flosey -- forgot to refresh -- didn't see your carpet -- lovely one!
tks jilli and sprite
dunno, sprite!
let me check her profile
nope nothing there. Jilli, can I email you my phone number, and you give it to her in case she manages to contact you again?
she was just here in the chat -- didn't contact me via email
I have her email address and will email it to you now
ah ok, I see :( Well, then I will have to put something in my profile, I guess. Would hate to miss her.
that is great, jilli, thanks!
that is much better than private stuff in the profile :D
I disguised it as best I could here, sprite
thanks jilli, I'd rather have it in chat than running the risk of missing her!
email sent, sprite
your email has arrived, jill, thanks again.
wow -- so fast!
I keep thinking how my dad would have loved email!
I have ae, an *2, au. What am I missing?
and the little cameras on the monitors (I don't have one)
ac 5, 4 and ax 5
ty book
email sent, jilli, now all we can do is hope.
oh yes, jilli! Was your father like you, always with an open mind and keen curiosity for new things?
hi mixi and book
darn, got an auto reply from kje, jilli.
hi sprite.
darn, sprite, was afraid of that with that kind of address
me too. Well, I have done the best I could, I put it in my profile.
sprite, when I was 8 and travelling from Shanghai to the USA and then England by ship, he wrote letters every Sunday and in one of them he said something like "wouldn't it be nice if we could talk to each other and see each other over all the miles" -- back in 1935.
oh jilli that is so great.
I was sick a lot as a kid and had several mastoid surgeries, then lots of contact with doctors -- was always interested in medicine -- he suggested I would be the one to find the cure for cancer when I was about 10, lol -- no nonsense about "women's place is in the home."
he sounds like a lovely and remarkable man, jilli. And you are a lot like him :)
well, except for the 'man' part
I adored him
a free spirit with a warm heart, jilli :)
not so free during WW2 in Hong Kong
but the spirit was
perhaps his spirit was, jilli? Must have been such a hard time though.
lots of stiff upper lips among the Brit internees
snap jilli :) Wars are so terrible and yet people keep making them. It is so weird.
How many words today please
61, gran
Thanks
only 61 gran, but not all obvious to me.
my messages take so long to appear in chat. There must be a very slow server somewhere between here and there.
I must go to bed -- library tomorrow but it's supposed to snow again so maybe I won't be able to get there
10 left but not seeing any :(
sleep well, jilli, and dream even better. I hope you will be able to do what you like best tomorrow.
Morning, sprite, everyone. Not many words today. Is that good or bad?
hi Sally, for me it is good, I have little time. But it might be a small grid with a nasty bite, lol.
That's what I feared :-)
dreaded 14 after quarter of an hour. hi all!
hi Ata :)
Hi Ata.
14 left here as well
28 left here :-(
wonder how many complaints we'll have about the rude Word today
Oh is there one? Thanks for the clue!
lol Ata, probably quite a few.
Only 27 left now!
go Sally go!
and not complaining either!
It's a very claustrophobic grid isn't it. There's nowhere to turn.
indeed, Sally. I am having quite some trouble finding all the Ts, especially.
five t words utilize a y
thanks BabbleRabble, and good to see you. Ah, one of them is tw.
15 y's are used
hmmm missing 1 then
and there are fireworks. One T sounds like a disease and my last E was a volcano. Tsk.
congrats, sprite
yes, when the poker pot is fed the volcano erupts
17 ys
thanks. Nice Joker face you got there, BabbleRabble.
I think I count 18 ys.
I get more each time I count
yay spritey!
lol same here. One word has 2 of them.
2008 is on its death throes just two weeks left
that must be why I feel like I am in mourning then.
isn't an antery where ants live? :P
of course it is
or at least where baby ants are nursed.
silly enable
we have antinns around here
awwwww yes
what about antouts?
I must be off, crazy day ahead of me. Lots of last minute stuff before school Xmas dinners and galas and such, but we will survive. *hugs*
bye dear
antouts are akin to picnics
be well. sprite
are they ever
G'd morning Babblers! 61 words, yuk
hi Lori(Canada)
: p
61 words? It seems like financial crisis hits babble.
tricksy words though
my last 3 don't exist
lol, so typical of Babble, isn't it?
and one of them is a 6. joy.
ha! a nice little one I assume?? hi all :)
BTW, there will be no clues for about 12 hours.... sure that isn't too much of a problem
umm ... nice except last 3 lol
G'd morning mrP
hi lori :)) hi ata
last three huh?? maybe I should start with them!
lickety is out at a xmas party for work... (surprised they can afford one really) and he is already half cut!
yay lickety!!
'stralianism for 'off his chops'
hi everyone
hi andree!! (((hugs))) long time no see darling!
G'd morning Andree, long time no see. :)
been out of the loop for a while
well, weave yourself back in babe
all settled in to the new house mrp
Good morning, evening all. Lickety at a party? Does he not know his responsibilities? (I joke, naturally)
oh yes andree!! loving it! but we are going to court over the other place unfortunately, for the landlord!! ha
and now school holidays to look forward to
hi Haz and Spanglettina!
yes andree! I will be around with kiddies, a bottle of bubbly and good cheer
G'd morning Haz!
and your swimmers
Hello Ata and Lori - tiny grid....
hi haz! he is so sorry!! (cough-NOT!)
hi haz
oh pshaw!! I don't swim!! would never get my hair wet!
Hello Andree and mrp. I hope he's suitably chastened. I'm SO let down.
but the kids do mrp
I will pass your concerns on to him haz.... and punish him accordingly!
the kids would go in to a pool in their undies if they didn't have swimmers! LOL
Go easy on him, though. I'm a woman of peace and good will these days.
why bother mrp, he might enjoy a spanking
i do believe Maddie went in... fully clothed!
Ata, you fib. The last 7 suck the most.
she did too
he has been begging for a spanking for a couple of weeks now!!
LOL
Er, I meant 6
What have I started?
***sounds like a raunchy night ahead in hte Lickety household....***
haz! don't you know the rules.... after 10 years of marriage... only on special occassions.... xmas is only a week away!
lori, he has to wait !! LOL
my son had a nose reconstruction today and i just had the best time making up stories for his 2 year old about his sore nose, i included christmas parties and generally had a great chat with her about it
Tell me he hasn't used Michael Jackson's surgeon.
ah the fun of a two year old!! so much tweeking at that age! LOL
Was the nose needing attention because of an accident?
oh haz, he is sin ugly!
LOL !!!!
Who, Michael Jackson or Andree's son? You'll hurt her feelings, mrp.
i asked him why he kept his old nose, he was quite offended
Haz, I could hurt Andree's feelings in a million years!
couldn't!! I meant
yes haz, a tumour in one side and a broken nose[we can't work out when that happened] in the other, he could not breathe
Andree is like a mum to me... she is awesome
I know, mrp, I was joking - but Andree, that sounds as though he'll get real benefit from the operation.
lickety had a lovely nose until he got beaten up... now he hates his nose cause they didn't reconstruct to the original
Poor man. Who would want to beat him up?
ppl who need clues?
lolol Ata
he went for a walk during a party... he picked a flower from a front of a garden to take back to a girl at the party... the person who saw him pick the flower was offended and hunted him down and broke his nose and neck.
Someone from the flower liberation front? What a strange person!
how awful
clue for the lonely n in left column
it was aweful... he was hunted for 20 minutes for picking a flower.
well, lickety has informed me he is bringing home a posse of pissed friends! yay for me! better get the kids to bed
see people!! this is what you get for having a 6 bedroom house!!
Lickety knows how to get into your good books, doesn't he? Maybe the Christmas lights will dazzle them all into submission.
i have three a 4 and one a 5. What am I missing?
Andree, no help on the n yet.
He knows the good book theory alright, just doesn't practice it :)
4 a 4's Merk

This is a grid featuring two Northern Ireland cities, one accepted the other not.
what's the one not accepted?
Newry
ooo not heard of that one
It's newly a city in that it and Lisburn were granted city status in 2000.
heard of Newgrange though *random*
Morning all and early fireworks for me
Good morning spellit - congratulations on fireworks.
Thanks Hazel - bit warmer today or should I say less cold!
We have lots of places starting with New. Newtowncrommelin is probably the longest.
It's colder here, spellit, quite a lot of frost. I'd rather have it than the rain.
ooo! like that
Frost in the south I hear too, but OK here
It featured in the paper this week because the council refused to send gritters out. We were gripped with the drama.
*gasp*!
you rpaper sounds like the Faversham Times. Headlines "ex doctor died this week" etc
There were pictures to illustrate how bads the roads were. Scandal!
Actually - ex school principal and borough councillor DID die this week.
* how bad
was it the paper's headline?
spellit, how long do you stay in Yorkshire?
Off to explore Leyburn - back later
See you spellit.
I am here until next Monday Hazel
The headline was Christmas spirit - people making parcels to send to Romania.
Ah, enjoy Leyburn and tell us if the roads were gritted or not. Bye spellit!
We had a connection with X-factor.....
hmmm wonder if there's any likelihood I'll be able to persuade the hound down from her cosy perch on the bed

Eva, you are missing the six. Starts out like the shot and ends with sometimes vowel.
I need a clue for your te 5,10
shot?
te5,10, that is
te5/10-alternate spelling of the bird-add a vowel
shot to prevent a disease from rust
I have that one
missing two four letter words; one is an E. I have ENx2, ER4/4, ET4/4, EX5/22 and EX4/9. which one am I missing?
oops-I'm actually missing 2 t's. and obviously one of them leads to the 6. Because I don't have the shot word. Have to go looking
ey 4/8
EVA: think lockjaw
te 4,5,6,4
I am, but can't get it to work out yet
The 6 stands alone Eva
ti 4,5,5,5

Eva: Vietnamese New year + *** port in a storm

I'm waiting for it to get light enough so I can tell what the snow is doing. I'm hoping it will cover up the glare ice on my driveway
here, the snow HAS covered the ice all over..."sigh"
so there is no lickety today then?
Good Morning!
snow is far preferable to ice! We had a nice crunchy snow cover until the day before yesterday when we had a freakishly warm day.
hi phan...and we may not need it today...
morning red
oh, I always need it
Ho is everyone?
snow IS preferable to ice yes...but when it covers the ice it's treacherous...
for a small puzzle, this one wasn't as sadistic as most
RED !!!
monty!!! where have you been? timbucktu???
nah, india and germany mostly...just kidding, only at these places in BabbleLand...
How are You? ANd eva too. We are still having very regular weather here.
I have AC 5/12, 4/5,
AN 4/4, 5/10
and AU 4/5 what am I missing?
except for back ache (due to shoveling), am pretty good thx for asking and you red ?
ae4/6 for one phan
pretty good. A little busy....No shoveling here! our big news was fog.
ae4/6
are there 2 AE 4/6's?
it's sunny here

ugh, and I usually see that one too
I still cannot BELIEVE that word is here, but "shite" isn't allowed...
thank you, Montreal
I have DE 4/5, 5/16
or, for that matter, "cert" - how many of you got a leaving cert?
yw phan ... i know trif - welcome to Enable World !
the weirdest word not found in Enable is spam
Just a question....for anyone who knows. SInce the Fed has cut interest rates again...Do you think I could refinance my Mortgage even though I am not in danger of foreclosure?
trust me, I am the world's biggest enabler....
doubt it red ... but am no expert...
are you that fat trif ? ...lol
yes, thats kind of what I thought. I have a normal mortgage with regular payments, but to get lower payments would be beautiful...
ha ha!!!!
you could do perhaps, not sure about law there, you might even end up saving more money
I have DE 4/5, 5/16
i dont' see why not? did they say there is a cap on refinancing?
if it was easy to do RED, everyone would do it...
de 4/11
de4/11
Red, it's all in the long run. You have to pay points and closing costs. We did it many years ago and it saved us a bundle and allowed us to pay off the house way before retirement.
thnx again, Montreal
:-)
I would personally like to seel my house, but...in this market its impossible, so I am looking at renting it, and its all very scary...!
the w is making me suspicious - is this grid welsh again?

LOL TO.
Okay, something really wierd is happening.....Lickety is taking words that are not in the puzzle.....is lickety down again? its taken two ae words that include an "h" when there's not one in the puzzle.
Go to go - packing to do and more stollen to make. Happy Babbling all.
i haven't had stollen in 10 years.....want to send some stateside?
Lickety's list isn't up yet, Sharon. Stats are in my profile if you need them.
later jacs. jacs - do you have a recipe for a buche de noel?
TO - is that stollen? If so, yes I do.
so i'm hunting for words re: lickety that aren't even there??? lol. This does not bode well for the rest of the day.
TO - chocolate chestnut log? I've never made it but there are lots of recipes on line.
Sharon, just close off lickety's list and use one of the others thats posted, say on Jacula's profile
Must go now. Happy Babbling.
i just completed grid without benifit of list so its not that bad
bye bye Jac
I'm off as well. need to wrap some presents
morning...for some reason I did my usual cut and paste to lickety add bulk box and it didn't work. Has anyone ever had that happen?
lickety is not up today - we all had that happen.
thanks for the update!

Hi again. Guitar's nice! I know he's too young to really start playing but he is very excited about guitars and impressed with people who can play them, and has been talking about wanting one. We found this one online for 20 Euros-- it's a real children#s professional guitar. Must find a website to help us tune it. But not tonight.
got it!
Do both tr's come from the same T?
yes
Akk, never mind, no way to tell which T the one I have is from! But thanks.
Oh, there it is! Whee!
OK... how many ty's should there be?
down to 10 left
I have 1 left.
i only see 2 ty words

What happened to Lickity's list?
3 left, all 5's. 2 A's and the T w/ 8
Just found out the Groot Dictee is on in a few minutes. This is this thing they do every year where a massive and complex piece of text is read out and one needs to try to write it down correctly,pitted against a studio audience of professional writers and editors.
he - um - had his christmas party today
There is also an re5 and an re6.
and we weren't invited?
ty monkey (slaps herself)
Don't slap yourself. I stared for teh C's all day and then Gwen gave me the stats and darned if they aren't ridiculously easy.
found the T; need 2 A5's...
ata -- heard back from anj!
right onto the t in the second column i only have the tw5 from that
woohooooooo!
tell him to get his ar4 online!
he said hes good, "bl**dy busy" and would try to get online sometime over the holidays... lolas message bounced back + he didnt say anything about her... ill respond to him asking for more details. :)
The problem with the t there is that I can no longer remember which tr's and which ty's come from which T because they all COULD come from both...
oooo no mention of lola? I wonder ...
I am hping to hear from kje. She is in Amsterdam now, not 15 minutes away by train, and said she'd call if she has time...
when words could come from either one, they will always come from the upper-left-most...
second column down not across sorry
well, it was just a quickie response...hence why im gonna respond to him. :)
Either way. Most of teh words can come from either T in that region...
please say hi from me!
Ah, good to know... the laft one is lower... so is that fiirst, or upper first?
and me!!! I haven't spoken to anj in a year now :(
upper T would be first, then.
i'm new to this. how the hell do you play this damn thing?
I would like to join the excitement but I am not sure I knew anj....
space -- check out the "help" link above.
got to put baby in bath back i a bit
me first! I got there first!!!!
probably not, MG. he was an original. :)
yeah ... you needed to be here a long while ago, MG
There's a help button above. But basically you just find and enter words without using the same letter twice in one word, and they must be contiguous.
I love the word contiguous
Understood. I'm only just coming up on 2 years in MArch.
Me too. And askew.
ah thanks
When I say not using the same letter, I mean it can have, say, 2 T's if there are two t's. You just can't use the same T tile twice in one word.
gotcha ;)
hi everyone
I have en/5x2, er4/2, et/4, ex5/ex4. Can anyone tell me which e/4 I am missing please? Thanks.

OK, ocean wildlife on TV, gotta go. Have fun, all! Back maybe on commercials and stuff.
I'm new here as a Pro....if there's no list , how do we find out the lenghth of the words and what they start with?
ahh, i remember back to the days when no one ever created a list + the only way to play was just to try... ;)
don't know,,,,,,,,just by asking i suppose
i am short of 2 words
aeb -- if you scroll to the bottom of the page + click on the Babblers Anonymous link, there is probably a list there -- it is run separately from Licketys list...
go here for stats: http://babblersanonymous.yuku.com/topi c/482/t/Stats-List-for-17th-Dec-2008.h tml

lol
missed that believe it or not chrissie, hi all.
hi frogface
I didn't get the promotion for the third time, and for the third time i got told "if I had 2 jobs". Lets hope he doesn't want a calm discussion tomorrow
Hi very briefly! Jsut e-mailed the people whose truck hit the trike yesterday morning. Still haven't heard back about it from teh guy on the phone. Hope I don't have to involve the police.
what a B*******
I did throw him off the phone because I was crying so I think he will have worked out I'm not best pleased
Dang, Katie! Hang in there! That sucks.
did the job go to a man?
Thanks MG. I am bitterly disappointed but I have hubby and the cats and that is more important than anything else!!
Yep Chrissie, he is a friend of the bosses but I am trying not to take it to heart
lucky in love hey katie, that's much more important
That's true and I'm glad you appreciate it, but that doesn't change that screwed up people will be screwed up! Hang in there!
and I quote "it was a far more difficult decision than I expected" gee thanks!!!!!
on a role, up to 10 words
Oops, gotta go. But here's a pic of a truck identical to the one that hit my trike yesterday (minor damage, no injuries, driver did NOT stoip): http://www.tachyon.nu/p/z/217/9294.jpg /d%2011795/lgnl
how dare he say that, it's like saying he didn't expect you to be any good
bye MG thanks for the support
quite Chrissie. Could be an interesting day tomorrow. If he wants to chat I will ask him if he REALLY want to and hope he gets the hint
but on the bright side, only tomorrow to go and then I don't go back until 7th January
How disappointing Katie! but your turn WILL come, you want it too much ((hugs))
hope tomorrow flies over, have a lovely holiday
goodmorning everyone
hi lynx
We have leaving drinks but I can put a face on for that, work to rule only starts in January.

I'm good Katie... I was thinking of you last night. Heard this lovely music called The March of the Hamsters...the writer said that when it was dark, the hamsters came out and danced tenderly. Was it a hamster you had?

highly decorative Chrissie
I just can't watch the RVP. It's so cringeworthy
ty
this would be ok if they were actually singing, bearing in mind they are from a live stage show I don't know why they aren't
I watched the beginning - I liked the comedian, think he's called Michael McIntyre
seriously you need to take a look
who is *they*?
and I liked the Lion King
can't remember the show but it is from the 60's music
got it .last ti 5 thanks
Hello :)
liiiiiz!
Hi Liz
anagram of the preceding
four seasons
Saw the Frost/Nixon movie last night...very good/interesting
Hi Liz!
frankie valee
did you have a nice day off-island?
Hi Lynxxx, Katie, Ata :) )Love the icon Ata)
Oh they are doing another one!
Yes thank you! I'm exhausted and all shopped out :)
don't think they are miming though
the icon is my godmother's new pup, Arthur!
He's very sweet :)
he's adorable! their cat hates him though
king does he eat at a round table?
My cats are in charge of Oscar
No they just hit a bum note so maybe I misjudged them
lol
my friend has just got a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle, cute does not begin to describe it!
cockapoo!
or shoud I say her, Millie :-)
Cockerpoo! I have a friend with one of those
Arthur is JRT x toy poodle
honestly I'm not a dog person but I could have kidnapped milled
My friends is called Tiannah. I mean! Can you imgine shouting that at a poor do?
ATA JB IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*dog*
cockerpoos are *adorabel*
JB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where
Oh chrissie quick, john barrowman is on.
LIZ! JB!
BBC1 NOW!!!!!
Where?????????????
BBC1!
OMG!!!!
calm down now girls.
must leave to avoid the hormone overload
Variety show!!!!! *flushes*
he's had a silly hair cut
lol BR
Calm down ladies.
he's put a bit of weight on hasn't he
Haz! How can you say that!!!!
I would like to point out my excitement was on behalf of others, I have hit the mute button!
hi Haz
KATIE! outrageous
Just thinking of the blood pressure.
He'd be okay if he didn't sing. Stuck to the acting instead.
Good evening/morning all.
dare I say he is looking a bit portly? Hi haz
such a waste!!
Oh dear! BBC described him as the housewife's favourite! LOL
Hello Katie!
hahahaha !
you can say it, katie ..... but it's not true!! :P
What's wrong with being either a housewife or a favourite?
it is true Ata
thanks chrissie, us surveyors stick together
what a pretty boy
It ust makes him sound mundane and me sound like a sad and deranged lonly house keeper LOL LOL
we tell it like it is
Oh take that, I'm showing my sadness now :-)
Take That are coming on soon. Your favourites, Katie?
mind you £60 for a ticket showed enough sadness
*damn* keyboard keeps sticking grrrr
It's okay, Liz. Just remember that we call ourselves self-scheduling domestic engineers now.
Not many laughs this year is there, all singers.
I went on to itunes the other day and bought Leona Lewis, take that, girls aloud, il divo and rhydian, my sadness knows no bounds
I like to describe myself as an exchanger of news and information - my Mother tells me that means a gossip!
This is a fantastic song :-)
in need of a good laugh too
katie katie katie ....
sound perfectly reasonable to me katie
leona is incredible
my ipod is my own domain :-)
i bought the new x factor winner, but my mum is trying to get me to buy geraldine, now that would be going too far.
You can like whatever music you like, Katie, personal choice rules.
I actually think Alex will be as good. Thank goodness xfactor has finished I cried during the last three shows, hubby had to sit me down and check nothing else was wrong
lol, agree with that frogface
Can I just say re Geraldine, that Peter Kay does the accent perfectly. (His mother is from Tyrone, so he's had personal tuition)
mum loves it chrissie.
As an Xfactor fan I found Geralding was a little too close to the truth to be funny :-)
point total please?
642
hi Hurshy
leona did this on radio one nearly two years ago and I remember being stunned when I heard it for the first time
It's quite wicked - he's very clever in his observation of how we're manipulated.
Ata and Haz? I loved the conversation about trampolines at the bottom of cliffs :)
Geraldine called simon cowell,"The grinch that stole christmas" the other day which i thought was quite true.
ok, then i must just be missing a 10 and a 4
"The grinch that stole christmas" hmmmm Barclay Brothers!
looooool good Liz! I hoped you saw it on f/b
Yes, Liz - we've got all sorts of schemes for making Sark a talking point.
Yes I did and I was in hysterics :)
tada!
I hope people have stopped scowling at you
good! you need laughs!
Congratulations hurshy!
Oh Ata? I found a way of travelling....
When I got into il divo I thought i was spreading my musical taste until I realised that simon cowell had put them together
now i sing
been stuck on 16 words to go for AGES
congrats hurshy
well done hurshy
oh yes?
Simon may not be to everyone's taste, but he knows what sells.
pumpkinboy, pumpkinboy, oh pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin pumpkinboy, pumpkinboy, oh pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin pumpinboy (ba do do do)
you've got two more than me chrissie.
Back shortly....
and he's usually honest, even if it means supporting other acts than his own
drat i left out that last k
there's something very wrong with Haz knowing about Simon Cowell and the X Factor
My friend Sarah has taken her collie over to the UK today and is going to get me the phone number of who she travelled with. Basically its Guernsey aeroclub members! They are only allowed to charge for fuel so it is cheaper than big airlines, plus doggy gets to sit on a seat with you and doesn't have to be crated unlike the boat or big airlins
i <3 simon cowell
she's a woman of the moment :-) brb, drink refill needed
Oh dear hurshy.
i <3 dr. house
oh wow!!! that's perfect!
i <3 people who say the truth albeit a bit bluntly
It sounds over the top but it works out cheaper than normal flights and you pretty much have the plane to yourselves
I don't know what i<3 means :-(
absolutely! I'd much rather that, I love little planes
When she gets back on Friday she's going to let me know how it went and phone numbers & costs etc
it's a heart on its side katie
<3 is a little heart.
wünderbar! tytyty!
lookit you and your umlaut
Its the thought not only (of course) of meeting you but of getting the loony dog and Hobbit together!!!

anyone got a clue for the n on the right please, or the numbers for it.
Hurshy! Hobbit is a saint!

he stopped her watching it as she cried as much as I did :-)

even JB can sing this better
yep JB is starting to look really good
but he's already had TWO days off!
Crumble wants a cuddle should I throw her off for the chocolate licking incident?
JB is certainly not the best singer in the world, but he can sing this really well
noooooooooo!
I think JB is a good show singer, certainly far better than this, I'm just not sure about a recording artist
no katie, give her a cuddle
absolutely. I agree!
She is still going on a diet after the holiday!
aren't we all, lol

don't believe it, missed the volcano again - 2 to go
ahhh I put it in for a laugh and it came up as a word
absolutely. and charles looks a darn sight happier with her.
I definately have a live and let live attitude
I prefer her to Diana anyday. She feels real, Di always felt "plastic"
I liked Diana, but you can't make someone love someone
no. and any story where two people eventually get together after being in love for so many years is just *good*. It makes me happy
i think she would have been with someone else and happy if she had lived so let him be happy is my moto
absolutely
finished. Going to write Christmas cards now. Happy babbling all, see you tomorrow. Chin up and give him hell katie, ;-)

jmc, I wasnt at work today and I took a sick day from training as I am not feeling that great...so I had some time.
I skipped work too but spent the day with my mother at her doctors so not a lot of extra time

Hi sadie.

hi sadie
And I am at my sister's--she had her gall bladder out several hrs ago. She is sleeping.
Hi sadie
oh dear scrab
ho did it go scrabbs?
ouch! hope she heals fast Scrabbler
Better by scopes than getting sliced open as I was 19 yrs ago.
so is there an ax/ or am I just running down a blind alley?
It is amazing that she left the hospital 6 hrs later.
there is jmc
with a mineral-y ending
i was also Scrabbler three months after having a csection lol saw enough of hospitals to last me a life time
an ax5
it is a mineral ore, is my guess, based on the ending
ty red
It sucks to be a patient, especially post-op.
yep
just had arm operated on thats the part i hated most
May I ask what happened?

do any of you have the stats for today's puzzle?
ouch sadie
Yuck, Sadie! That is a bad injury!
aslindy--go to Bab Anon
uh huh spent the first couple weeks tellin myself it was sprained no such luck

I am so glad that was a small grid!! lol
JBV how is hubby doing?
Lindy, recovery is very slow, but each day is a little better - he came down to dinner tonight (we are marking small milestones), previously was unable to sit for very long - thanks for asking
oh I am so pleased he is improving, even if it is slowly!
every little bit is progress
every little bit is progress
my life is also coming around to somewhat of a normal routine - I am able to spend a few minutes (like now) not paying attention to his immediate needs, so that's also a step forward
oops!
how about you Lindy? What happened? I remembered you said you had to go back to your doctor?
getting back to normal is very important, although in my case i am sad not to be off sick still!!
well it appears the stitch was put in on purpose, but he never said as no one else ever noticed before!
I am having it removed tomorrow am for better comfort
I have never been normal so I like getting back to abnormal
I was told all stitches were dissolvable, so panicked when i found a permenant one!
good luck, lindy - hope you will soon be feeling better
LOL BR - most people say I am not normal either, but I am almost back to my normal!
back to the normal abnormal would still be a step up right now, BR
I really miss being at home JBV, thanks for you kind thoughts
I will get you both on a prayer chain
thanks BR!
I am good now BR, save your prayers for those in need!
thanks anyhow!
Just need to get fit now )0:

no lady - you can do it!!
oh... in that case, my apologies.
LOL jilli & mab!
I'm trying to monkey everything, but it's not working
actually, our present weather is courtesy of wet from Hawaii and cold from Alaska = blizzard in BC, heading east
it's sarah palin's fault
doesn't like "extry". Its a word down here in TX
i like a good cold spell every now and then. thins out the california transplants to montana. sends em straight back to palm beach!
you betcha, it's sarah's fault
thanks for the warning, jilli
they are very tricky Lady!
14 now... sigh
well gotta go guys, look forward to seeing you all tomorrow, take care, bye xxx
lol rob probably would like yeyahes either
bye lindy tc
probably not
bye lind
needs one more clue for that middle T....
could someone clue ac5?
where in tx rob?
and one for the C above it... and 2 for the A above that! :(
tw 5
te+sun*** + sometime vowel = a state marked by severe, intermittent tonic contractions and muscular pain, due to abnormal calcium metabolism.
ah... got it, ruru...the T... thank you
ah thanks jilli... got that one on ruru's earlier clue
ac5 was my last word -- top-scoring card + brit thanks
I am completely baffled by the Ys I have the snowman
oh yay! thanks, jilli!
wtg jill
got it thanks jill
got the C ... should have had it before - hubby (much to my annoyance) uses it to yell at bad female drivers
Ys -- one rhymes with blue****s. The other doubles the vowel in 'Not ye**
shame on hubby, natts!!!!!
indeed!
shame on hubby, what does he call bad male drivers?
ty for my last Y, too, jilli
doesn't your hubby like those Cs, natts? Wpouoldhave thought so unless he were gay.
he calls them a string of obscenities
lol jilli... it's just that it's a crude word, so he uses it that way.
still missing one A
who -- the bad male drivers? There are many more of them. I was given the finger today because I honked the horn at one who cut across, making a left turn in front of me so that I had to slam on my brakes.
yes, he's got a sailor's mouth, as they say
do you want me to ice him jilli?
louis armstrong is singing 'christmas night in harlem'
love him
you betcha, ruru :)
done, now I"m off to write a letter to the editor. it will be epic, I assure you!
argh! missing one t4 and one t5. I have ta4, ta5, te4x2, te5, ti4,ti5x3, tr4x2, ty4
about what, harp?
ty jill got one of them still working on the rhymes with
wtg harpjane!
but funny story is... last week he was dropping of 17-y-o daughter to school. He was stopped at a T-intersection to turn left and a car was approaching on the left side. The guy was slowing (to turn right) but didn't have his indicator on...
on the radiol. not hallucinating.
jm -- think of ****ie with the light brown hair
suddenly she yelled "turn on your f***ing signal light, you bast***!"
natts, the jerk who fingered me just darted out of the side road, no signal
the funny part is, hubby thought she was talking to him... so he turned his signal on
When i first drove up to Canada I was really confused about the blinking green light and was yelled at by quite a few people
:)
I should have said J***nie with the light brown hair
BNL -- which aprt of Canada? Rules are different in different provinces
*part
ok jill still thinking :-)
About 2 hours West of Ottawa, small town called Deep River (only about 2000 residents)
Y + bluej***s, like Levis
I was crossing a street in DC and a car almost crashed trying to stop to let me cross. I walked up to it and said. . .
BNL, I have an old friend in Deep River -- another Jill, dog trainer
what part of Canada are you from?
jill, about the true meaning of Christmas? i guess!
GOT IT JILL!
8 left... still missing one of those As
ty ty ty
jm, at present in SaltSrping Island, BC -- previously in the Montreal area -- before that, scroll down my profile
hating these last two T's, whatever they are
Wow, small world. My best friends grandfather built a cabin along the river back in the 1930s and we go there every summer for a week or two. Aside from the mosquitoes it's the highlight of my summers
no no that was the kicker on my story--sorry obviously need practice jill [blush]
Now I'm confused
I got it jmcnrick. but then I'm from d.c.
jm -- your story was "the true meaning of Christmas"? Yes indeed, great driver.
hi everyone! so.. what are ya'll doing for christmas?
I was talking about someone nearly crashing their car to let me cross the street safely in DC and I asked them where in Canada they were from because that was the only place where I had ever been that anyone made that much effort. . . .pant pant
And BNL, where is it you go in the summer?
where in DC mab?
dupont circle
and jm, great compliment to Canada, but as you can see from my previous experience, doesn't apply to all here.
brb, supper ready -- back later
bye jilli... enjoy supper
probably true but I have been in a lot of different provinces and that was my experience (and the driver was from Totonto where I have yet to be)
now, is there anyone left who can help me get my last 6 words? I really have to shovel snow soon.
bye jill
I'm having Chanukah for Christmas, spacemonkey:)
jmcnrick where are you in d.c.?
My office is at dupont circle I am in upper nw -- usually when I ask that question Babblers answer Arlington or Chevy Chase!
well happy Chanukah then! :D
A cabin, looking at a map it looks closer to Rolphton next to the border and Rapides-des-Joachims park
thank you, and happy christmas to you:)
7 left
thanks :)
go jmcnrick!
I think I'm going to take a break. I can't finish without clues, I know this.
and sidewalks and driveway need to be shovelled... and other stuff needs doing too.
what are you looking for lady? maybe we can share
don't work too hard LadyNatts! :)
one of the As from the top row, 2 Es from the upper middle, 2 Ts beside that E and 1 T from the right
ac 5/12 ac 4/5 ae 4/6 an4/4 an 5/10 or au 4/5?
an5/10 is what I seem to be missing
oh... got it!
based on the numbers (which I don't have)
wtg lady
harder to monkey when you don't know what the words start with, or how many letters they have
ty jmcn... ty for the clue too
true
the e's I have are er 4/4 and ex 4/9
I have er4/4, et4/4, ex5/22 and ex4/9 ... still missing one E
et 4 (volcano)
ey 4
ty ruru
oh, that's an odd one, ty ruru
yw
yes very ...and a new one to me.. drove me nuts last night
some help on the ex 5/22 pls
precise and perfect is ex 5
it is a fishy one..lol
argh hit me with a fish!
now for the crazy T's... don't know which words belong to which T, but I have.... ta4/4, ta5/10, te4/4, te6/24, te4/9, ti4/4, ti5/10 (X2), tr4/4, tr4/6, tw5/22, and ty4/6
greyed the e!
<:))))< whack!
ouch not so hard I am sensitive
te 5/10
okay... that was easy... ty, jmcn
which leaves me short 2 t's still
and me
yw lady
my last 2 words... is ruru gonna rescue? At least tell me what I'm missing? Or do I go put on the winter woolies and start shovelling?
I am also short one r; I have re 5/12 re 6/21 re 4/5 re 4/4 re 5/10 re 6/18
you are missing an re5/10 AFTER your last one, jmcn
the re 5/10s are one after another?
no, I meant after your last RE (the 6/18)
oh ty *looking*
a clue for er 4/4?
it is a bird space
a sea bird
a variant spelling of a shore bird
ty
ruru! you are here!
I need 2 Ts :(
which ones?
do you know what you need?
two ta's
4 te
no... I listed all the T's I had
4 ti
2 tr
1 tw
2 ty
do you have the ty 4's (2 of them)
you need a TE 5/10
missing one TI and one TY
and another TI 5/10
both ty sound like tire
do you have the blood measurement ti 5/10?
ty ruru
okay... got the ty
ty ruru
not sure what the blood measurement TI is... I do have 2 TI 5/10... and one ti4/4
if you have one ti 5/10 reverse the last two letters for the other
there are 3 TI 5/10
ah... that did it! thank you ruru!!
oh yes the other ti is gigantic
thanks Phan forgot about that one
firewords for me! thanks for all the clues! I couldn't have done it without them
bbl got to make din din...
good luck you guys
ty ruru
wtg lady
I still need one r and one y
jmcn... how are you coming along?
bravo lady natts.. wtg a tough little grid
do you have the ya 6?
one of them is 6 and the other is 5
don't have ya 6
that re5/10 you are missing has a double-vowel ending, if that helps (think of an eye-part without a consonant)
ya 6 noisy or borish loud sounds
re + aunt in spanish
ya6 rhymes with na6 (to blabber)
boorish sounds
ty ruru
fireworks!!!

* waiting patiently for list * (sorry to have jumped the gun)
2ta, 3te, 4ti, 2tr, 1tw, 2ty
do you have both ti5/10s?
ti5/10 (x 3)
it looks like I need a ti 5
reverse the last 2 letters of the 2nd TI5 that you have
I have 2 that start with a boobie
you need the brit spelling of a ti5/10
aha! got it
all 3 start that way
one t needed left
oh. i have 4ti. sorry - i am so spacey with this
Cn not get Tw
there are 4 ti words, one 4/4, 3 5/10
april: ty x 2 (reverse last 2 letters of the one you have)
Tess...it's how Elmer Fudd might pronounce the washer and tw***
from april's list - i am missing a te (i hope at this point) ;p

wtg april!
YAY april!!!
go tessa go!
i must be daft
testing to see if my icon was changed
why, erica?
i still don't have the te4
terb
beautiful sunset, phan!
yeah, it worked; that is a sunset at my house this summer
phan -- changed but MUCH too big -- please resize!
Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
te4 = what you read (or student's te**book)
hi feeble
oh, how do I do that? it doesn't see to big to me
Hello
if you pull it up on your profile, phan, it's too big to see in one shot
oh pini- thank goodness it was right under my nose
that's odd -- it's huge here -- resize with photoshop or something!
oh yes I see that now; how do I fix it cuz I have no idea
was that it???
FIREWORDS!!
wtg erica!
AND NO LICKETY!
YAY erica!!!
Sorry- I get excited pretty easy
You may be able to resize using Paint...
thanks to all!
...but it shouldn't affect your icon (the one that we see in chog)
no worries, erica, I did the same
;)
feeble...new? done? need help?
Just starting... Been around for a few puzzles... Thanks for the offer...
no problem...welcome aboard! Holler if you need anything!
Winning lottery numbers would be nice... ;)
Well, uh...not sure I can help there...
...besides if they were winning number, I'm not sure I'd share!!! LOL
It was worth a shot...
anything's worth a shot around here! (or in life in general) ;)
So does the Dec 25th Puzzle get all holiday themed, usually?
Gosh, not sure...haven't been here for an Xmas grid yet!
Not that I am aware of. It is a random grid.
The puzzles are random -- no themes
unless you speak Klingon
Sha-tuk
uh oh
which I don't but I can fake it
I can't even fake it
have 2 ca - any clues for the third
cu4
(a naughty word)
cu4 = not a nice name
I couldn't fake an alien language if you paid me either!
means "fanny" in Ireland
ty - (blushing!) wouldn't have guessed that one!
...and the only other language I know doesn't work too well in te**
I hope Lickety has recovered enough to post clues for the next grid
well, that isn't a clingon word
testing again
if it's more than 100, jilli...I hope so, too!
oh, much better, Phan!!!
that should be better
fanny in Ireland (or England) doesn't mean the same in the US or Canada
oh yes, phan -- how did you do it? Lots of people need to know.
pini, what other language do you know?
I used paint like you suggested. I also asked my husband and he walked me through it as I hve never done that before
Sign Language (SEE to be more specific)
it is pretty self explanitory
Glad to her it worked, Phan!
so as I said this was a sunset this summer the view is from the bottom of my driveway
Good to know, phan -- paint wasn't my suggestion
Wow!
Nice view!
gorgeous, phan!
trying to wait for the flip <<eyes closing ever so slowly>>
well someone suggested then...
(I suggested "Paint')...but it only works for PCs as far as I know...don't think it's a MAC application.
I am now going to bed
oh, poor, erica!!!
it'll still be here tmw!!!!
g'night Phan!!!
thx for your help!
Good morning all and goodnight phand - lovely pic
nite phan
hi ursh :)
It was taken by my husband
hi ursh
going to change icon to the next theme -- vintage cars
pini- i know but I probably won't be able to sit down at all! throwing a bash at my house
.. hi all.. not much time left!
Lickety must have really had a good night out to be knocked out for a whole day
oy!!!! well, better get rested!!!! so you can have a grand ol' time!
hi clown
ursh -- glorious view!
are you done yet, clown? or should I say "hunter"?
not yet.. ! either works for me.. I like your dog.. my name is after mine!
I think Hunter is more fitting so I'll stick with that...
tx Jilli was view from chalet in Mozambique during June holiday there
...thank you for the compliment on my pup...your's is named clown?
50-50.. no Hunter!
* giggle *
but he is also called a clownface.. as he is a Cavaliar and should have his eyes with markings around both.. but he only has One and hence "clownface"!
according to those "that know"!!!
rofl
I understand now! ;)
g'morning all
:)
hi kath
Hello Kathihle
feeble, you're new?
Only to the chat
*waves to countrywoman lurking in corner* ... hi ursh!!
feeble> Oh, ok
everyone finished??? ;)
Seems I'm not going to get fireworks today
if not and you're looking for clues...let us know!
Pini> I'm short one ty4
reverse the last 2 letters of the ty you already have
I have the one that goes on car wheels, but stuck for the other
o?
aHA .. thanks!!
yvw
yippeeee!!!! Fireworks
or6 = grand
ty!
decorated
Hello Kathihle - was tidying up bedroom - yay for fireworks
good job kath
wtg kath!
ursh> Tidying at this time of the morning? How commendable! lol
Kath - any luck with job hunting?
any others, lmk?
ursh> Still nothing .. second interview on one, but still haven't heard and the year is running out
feeble? hunter?
nm Kath will keep fingers crossed for you - jobs not easy to come by - hopefully something will come up early in the new year
Still chugging along at the moment thanks.
go go go!
thanks, ursh
best of luck to you on the follow ups, Kath
Thanks, Pini
Have I mentioned that we're fostering a Siberian Husky at the moment?
Best thing i ever did was learn bookkeeping at around 45 yrs old - employers seem to think "older" bookkeepers are OK but want secretary's to be 25 and younger
oh, my! having a good time?
Good point, ursh ... I do basic bookkeeping, but don't know the terminology
Kath what fun - does he/she sing to the moon
Pini.. still working on it!
ursh> She's a bit young to notice anything but the other dogs and my cat .. very beautiful dog, less than a year old
go hunter go!
what can i clue, clown?
Kath if you can - try doing a Pastel course - if you understand the basics a course is quite manageable
ursh> That's a good idea, if I can find a free one, lol
.. or maybe my UIF will pay out one day!
Free would be good but unlikely
UIF - hope you are not holding your breath
what's UIF?
thx erica.. think I will have to pass for now.. Night All .. see you on the flip!
Unemployment Insurance Fund
night hunter!
Ohhhh, got it, ursh
We call ie UEI here
ie = it
Our UIF government run and not very efficient at all
ursh> Not holding my breath, but holding thumbs ... it's the only source of income I can hope for and I have rent to pay
Clue please... D? I have DE 4/5 and DE 4/11 result of a fender bender and the wet morning grass, just missing the last D
Here we euphemise and call it Emplyment Insurance, lol
same here, ursh...not a given...
hewy, de** and loey
Got that one Pini
de5/16 -- Irish town -- Londonde***
de4 = what happens to your car when something hits it
ursh> I'll report back on Tuesday ... Monday I have to take my card in, for whatever reason, and find out what the next hitch is
de5/16 = rhymes with nickname for Gerald
Thank you jilli and Pini
yw feeb
=)
