flosey, is that a real car, or a model?
flosey, I remember rumble seats, too -- and big running boards to stand on while someone else drove :)
very true, ursh
k. i haven't been at flips often. rules?

thanks freep!
ah yes jilli, I remember riding on running boards - what fun

erica, is that a planetary nebula?
thx, flosey
FA 4/6
tyger- it's a picture that caught my eye. i honestly don't know what it is ;p
last night i was uploading at the last possible moment, and I thought they didn't all get in, but I checked, and there's been no dramatic fall in my "hot" standing. so I guess they all got in
how many this time?
wa7
well, erica, I'm a big fan of astronomical images, I have the NASA image site set as my home page, and it surely looks like a planetary nebula to me :)

I could say that about several letters, MLF :D I noticed several instances that made me wish for a different letter

LOL, nan
got the wa 8 now thanks
true, jilli. that was once a famous brand
if they're still made, I suppose Levenger's carries them
porbably most here are too young to remember fountain pens
they carry the most amazing variety of fountain pens - especially luxury brands
ta
see, I was thinking an Adam Sandler movie... but he's grown up
i had to write with a fountain pen at school jilli
i am out of here. 29 left :(
I used to use a fountain pen in primary school
nice, Kaz
thanks jilli!...29 left for me...
my father used fountain pens, but not that brand
night erica -- glad your eyes didn't slam shut earlier!
I used the cartridge ones when I was young. They do write SO nicely
stalled at 70 and too tired to think -- don't know if I'll get back tomorrow, so just in case... Have a great Christmas and best wishes for the New Year. I'll be back some time in January. :)
got the pa8 as well...
nite, erica

you, too, nan
most kids now dont even write..my son does the majority of his homework on the computer
Hi Nan...havea great holiday travel safely whereever you may roam!
ruru, did you even see my question about the dog?
We had to write our work first then pc it to prave its yours
I think I have your email don't I?
thanks, nan -- Ã la prochaine! Joyeux Noel!
Actually pav, we're roaming in your direction -- Palm Desert
no tyger I missed it
kaz, aren't you a bit young for that kind of nostalgia? :)
what did you want to know?
is that a golden?
yes
sweet looking dog
He is the father of my puppy coming next summer
hello ruru
lol thx tyger, but i went to a private school from age 6-11 and they made us use fountain pens lol
I like them. I'd never have had one (too much hair), but they're nice
oh ruru, I didn't realise your pup will be related!
Nan.. don't i have your email addy?
oh, that explains it then :)
if I'd had to use one in school, I might have been nostalgic at your age :)
lots of brushing tyger..lots of brushing
Ru how many fur beasts will you have then?
is there an odd qu?
I'm one short
I don't know -- maybe the gmail one? cybernan@gmail? -- I will need to send you the palm desert one after we get it set up, but I don't have your email address.
My writing was much nicer when I used a fountain pen. I remember when the first ballpoints came in and cost more than a fountain pen.
yes, indeed, ruru. it was all I could do to keep up with Danes
yes jilli I am so excited.. he is a half brother to my boy I have now..
I really don't like ballpoints, but other options are too expensive
I will send it to you...
tyger i also remember coz i failed miserably at handwriting lol
ok - thanks

Wow, I must be losing it, because I have no idea what you're saying. lol

HI
there is a huge lag
Hi hi hi hi Hern
2 am hiccup caught me unawares too, I re-entered a word a couple of times, totally amazed it was not valid.
Its ok I was doing zombie noises
hi sprite herin diem and everyone
herin the mind boggles! no pun intended
I was bored
haven't yet had time to answer your email, lady, but today should be a quieter day... should be, no promises, lol. But I will try!
thats ok
my daughter will have the traditional Xmas dinner at school tonight. Must make some food this afternoon. But son is on highschool now. He is having fun workshops all day (cartoon drawing and photoshopping), eats at home and then goes to a Xmas gala party!
herin if you are really bored you could shovel my driveway i,ve done it 3xs and fed up with it!!
diem i would love to shovel your drive-we have only heat here of course-i would LOVE a white xmas
word list is on my profile...I hope everyone can see it...otherwise it'll be a slower note!
have never seen snow falling
*sends sandy a box of powdered sugar*
slower night!...gees
no i hate snow
thanks a million, PAV, that should help for everyone who wants lists.
I would like to even see summer
not the same sprite!! i have been missing babble
herin surely it isnt that cold in kiwi land!
much sweeter and less cold, sandy, lol. But I know, snow is something special. Once a year.
ty pav that should put my last few words out of my misery
ty..ty..Ty..TY, pav!
my daughter is on a cyclone watch in Broome and that would be exciting too -very hot and thundery
are the non-pros able to view the list?
should do
hey Sandy..nice horse!
sprite, cold would be fantastic-we always have traditional xmas fare. I guess a cold meal would be more suitable but i wouldnt swap for anything
thanks pav-he is old but gold
we will get a new horse in the new year-his present companion is a cow but he prefers another horse
A cow as in a moo cow?
we have some foals next door and he hangs over the fence he loves babies
I guess he would
much more to talk about with another horse, I bet
a cow as in moooooo.....aaaaaah the freezer is coming!
why? What did the cow do?
we are going to eat the cow
the cow is sweet he plays with our dogs
then a freezer is quite handy
well, I've done my part...see you all in the morrow....past time for beddie bye...ciao!
lol sprite the rooster needs to be in the freezer
bye PAV
that rooster is evil-he terrifies me- i cant collect the eggs he attacks me
to keep him from waking you up too early?
bye pav
you have no idea sprite-he senses my fear and gets me every time
you'll laugh best when he is chicken soup, grin
he is so beautiful but my husband says he will chop his head off if i give the word! but i cant im too soft
i feel like the lord high executioner
wouldn't be something I'd easily do either, I think.
has everyone done all their shopping? i have and the pressies are all wrapped.
we don't celebrate Xmas with gifts. That is for Sinterklaas, 5th of december.
hi everyone
hi Andree
really? Saint Nicholas? and have you all ready done your gifts?
sandy, shopping all done, wrapping not yet
Do you have a big dinner on 25th?
I love love love love xmas!
yes we have done the gifts. We are not planning to do a really big dinner, but a cosy one, with things we all love.
sandy i am sure someone would like a rooster for x mas would be tough to w4 up though
is it traditon that you have a family dinner on the 25th
OH I have wrapped my gifts
i do too sandy, i really enjoy all the silly season
yes it is, sandy. Xmas dinner is traditionally a family thing, usually with turkey or something like that.
i give my kids (all adults) their santa sacks and this year my daughter's boyfriend from England has one too-he is away from his family so i feel sorry for him
that is so sweet, sandy
my favourite is the xmas pudding with the hard sauce and brandy custard!
we have a Christmas dinner on Sunday at Granma and Grandpa's and for christmas day we go to his aunts house
sounds good, sandy and lady
I can hardly wait!
i am doing individual sago plum puddings this year, they don't havr to be cooked till christmas morning
It is good we pay the aunt money and she does all the work. She does it every year
i love sago pudding too
yummy
lol herin
sounds like my place except no one gives me money, lol
lol Andree!
but the kids have ordered the high cost items, turkey and ham
yet another grid with the name of our dog-to-be :) I take it as a sign all will go well.
and they will pay for them
We are going tomorrow to sis in laws for a xmas barby-i love that too
what kind of dog sprite?
Sandy just read your bio.Whats a chook ?
a king charles cavalier spaniel, sandy. Mamma dog is pregnant now!
they are a very good family dog sprite. and diem I cant believe you dont know what a chook is!!
diem, a chicken
apparently only aussies call them chooks
Its a fair thing there is heaps of people that go there every year
I'm missing a 6 letter word. I have ce, fa, ga, ma, op, pa x 2, qu, te, wa x 2. What one am I missing?
cackleberries
we took great care in picking a breed and then a breeder, sandy. Wanna see a pic of mum and daddy dog?
I see guess you better keep the rooster
Yes please Sprite
we get our chooks from a battery (12 dollars for 6) they have no feathers hardly and they cant even walk-after 5 months they are fully feathered and living the life of riley
http://www.sweetdevotioncavalier.nl/pu ppies.htm
Any help with that 6?
That is horrid Sandy.
I would love to see a photo sprite- nicky is a dog trainer and we love dogs.
I never buy cage eggs
it is horrible herin -they are kept in a little cage all of their lives and i love saving them.
ta pige
ty sprite.
I posted the link to the pics, lady and sandy
sprite how can i see the pic?
do they still lay sandy
they are fabulous layers and after a while the eggs can be called organic
Thank you sprite
I only buy organic free range eggs
what link ? what are the pics sprite?
or try this one: http://tinyurl.com/4ocjpb
thanks
herin, i have been to free range places-they are kept in crowded conditions in a chook yard which is sand (here anyway) ours wander around the farm scratching and clucking and having a great time!
Well the eggs i get are from an organic store so i hope that they are treated ok
Sprite which is the mum?
organic is different
better i think
i don't buy free range because there is no guarantee they are
I only buy eggs from the organic store and they have to be free range and the likes. Its all certed and stuff
Stuck with 43 left...this is tougher than I thought
apparently there are more people buying free range eggs than can be catered for
lady, Dana is the mum. Left pic.
I don't buy eggs from the supermarket
I get my cackleberries from a friend who has her chickens running around too, plus she has "runner ducks"
i am far too frugal to buy anything at the organic store
I am waiting for it to load
i am going to look now sprite
Ok Andree what do you pay for potatos?
yes it is not a fast site.
per killo
what i love best is when my freinds with chooks have eggs to spare
ok
ANdree per kilo what do you pay for potatoes?
Is the total today 98/1435
ha ha herin, i am a scotsmans daughter, my favourite brands are whatever is on special

Thanks

i grow a lot of veggies but not potatoes

bye Katie, have a good day and good luck packing.
bye katie
whoops i was just wandering why manrat was not accepted!
bye Katie
I'm having a hard time with this grid but I think it's just me
if I were cynical I'd say it is because it goes without saying, sandy, grinnnn
its not just you Jilli
the words are almost all relatively common, jilli. But not easy to spot.
so I see, sprite
warn
http://tinyurl.com/4f597n is the link to the list on PAV's profile, in case it is needed.
Sooooo sorry
most of the A words are uncommon
sprite the puppies are cute
so i dont see
TY herin
spanner: knitting is still fun! The good time of the year now, nice and warm with my huge vest in my lap, knitting the rim, which is metres around.
well, common to babble, I should say.
going to watch tv bbl
HI everyone too. i just found dinner
I am using up all my oddments knitting glove puppets for some charity
oh lovely spanner
that is fun, spanner, and for a good cause!
bye diem and lady
thanks for the reminder herin, must get some dinner too
6 left, back later to finish, happy babbling all
ok, I must love and leave you all. Have fun and see you next time, or tonight when I switch icon themes.
Plus it gets rid of loads of bits that would otherwise go in the bin!!
I just returned with dinner. Real Roast lamb and org tatos
bye sprite
Later Sprite
herin i love roast lamb
Sounds good herin
they say our lamb is really different that the lamb they get in america herin. (relatives from usa say it)
I don't even like lamb. I have not had good lamb in a very long time. I splurged and went to the good butcher
I lurve lamb! My daughter is in New Zealand at the moment and says that the lamb there is much superior to ours!
bye sprite -- have a good day
OS gets a lot of our good meat goes there
We have great lamb on Salt Spring
NZ lamb is almost as good as ours :)
My friends own a farm and I get lamb from them and I have to say it is much, much better than anything I have ever had from the butchers
By Sprite.
THis was one of those butchers that supplies speciality meat
They seem to be dying out now herin, as the supermarkets take over and undercut them so much. With the recession and everything I can see their sad demise
we kill our own sheep they are delicious
I have to be honest and cant afford meat outside a supermarket
Can i come over to your house Sandy
Not many can on a regular basis herin. I am lucky in my friends, they supply most meat and I keep my own fowl for meat and eggs
I thought stuff it today
Good for you
you would always be welcome herin
yah sandy.
I shop at Aldi for most of my stuff. Organic store for eggs vegies special buns that kind of thing. We don't earn much in this house
Theres an aldi opened up recently in one of the local towns. - do you rate them herin
I would love to be self-sufficient .
Ok I don't mind Aldi in Shopping centres but it bugs me if it is in a shopping strip.
ok have to cook dinner nicky is coming on now in her own name bbl
I dont think its possible to be truly self sufficient these days, we have such high expectations and such a wide range of food available all the time
later Sandy
Later sandy
I buy seasonal. I love leek but suck it up as it is not a summer veggie. OUr farming practices are really sh?? when it comes to food being wanted NOW> We need to realise that food is seasonal not all the time
Thats how I think herin, but my hubby still wont give up blueberries and strawberries in the winter!!
Its been lovely, but I have to go. Blue has started baying in the kitchen which translates as "Let me out, Ive got some rabbits to chase"!
Well they are little plants you can grow them in your house but say apples and stuff no. OH and i have a demented lemon tree that has segmented like a mandarin
Enjoy and go give Blue a pat for me
He has started Puddin off too now. Later...
i must go to
I buy raspberries, strawberries and backberries from a local farm stand and freeze them. Just a short thaw and they're just like fresh, in midwinter :)
well, I guess I'm alone
3 to go

firewords
and so to bed
congrats and good night, jill
out from behind the red wall. and fireworks!!!!
congrats, rose!!!
thanx dcs, and how are things in your neck of the woods?
oh, alright.
had the weirdest, hm, bad dream, not really a nightmare
which is why i'm up
but it was enough to keep me from going back to sleep, as it kept picking up where it left off
yuck, hate those bad dreams, they leave you sort of in limbo
and i was not finding the suspense restful
exactly :) but this too shall pass
* grin * been there, got the t-shirt, ain't going back
how are things with you?
thanx for asking. going well here, work's a bitch ( so what else is new? ), hubby and i have picked up a bug, been on antibiotics for 5 weeks, can't seem to shake it. have some down time coming up, maybe the R&R will get rid of it.
oh dear, best with it. They're sure it's bacterial?
no, they're not quite sure. Have had some really bad hayfever weather here. on the other hand, being on A.B's can also make your temperature swing. we have decided to give them a break, and see what happens.
goodness, what bother. I do hope it goes away soon, whatever it may be
how about you? apart from the bad dreams?
i'm taking a 21% pay cut due to changing contracts at the first of the year
* groan * that's terrible
but, i'll be continuously employed, and get to leave behind a manager with lots of theory and no ability to usefully apply it.
he doesn't have a clue what we do day-to-day
* bgrinning and nodding * know what you mean. sometimes i wonder whatever do these people think they are. can't manage to find their way out of a paper bag, with written directions.
exactly. So, the new position is a good move, the money is disappointing, but survivable. and with the economy as it is, i'm lucky to have a job
Morning all
good morning, liz
has this recession hit you over there? i don't seem to notice anything different over here.
mornig liz
things are not good here, and showing no signs of getting better in the near-term
hi Granny, hi DC
and all the uncertainty around GM and Chrysler does not help, to say the least
oh, dcs. my heart goes out to you all.
my mom grew up in Parma, Ohio, which i see is in the grid.
ty, rose, heavens know that we've weathered worse here. I'm in the camp that fears it may get as bad as in the 30s, but we'll see.
guess i'm lucky to be in a job that is considered an essential service.
What job do you do Granny
liz, i work in the operating theatres of a hospital, in the recovery room
my partner is a nurse, so also need not worry
liz, does this recession affect you, over in the UK?
yeah, dcs, us nurses are just about indispensible. * grin *
Wow Granny!
very, very true, rose :)
Yes we are affected here and worse besides. We have had a dreadful week. Last Thursday 140 people got laid off in one fell swoop which if you equate that many people to the UK population it would be like 14 million people getting laid off in one fell swoop over there
just have to hold for another 4 years, then i can retire. looking forward to it very much. have been working since i was 18.
liz, how terrible!! i wish there was something we could do. over here, our government has given a large monetary handout to all pensioners and families with children, with the instructions to go out and buy, buy, buy. of course, many of them just want to pay their bills, not spend the money on unnecessary things.
yes, bills before more things, most certainly
http://www.pomegranatephone.com/
it's very silly, you should check it out
i'd really like to stay and chat some more, but my bed is singing my song. need any clues before i go? quite happy to stay and clue if you would like them?
sleep well, rose; i'm good for now
i wonder why that fire truck finds it necessary to use the siren at this hour- the sun's not up for at least an hour yet
thanx dcs, prayers and hopes for a brighter future for you.will check out that site. talk to you soon. stay well, and sleep without those bad dreams.
* poof *
Gosh DC I can't believe your government did that! The trouble we are having is all to do with our government
morning everyone
my gov't did what now?
morning, jacq
lol
morning dc
hello Liz
Sorry DC - you were saying they gave handouts to the people affected
under the current administration, i'm bound to believe most anything.
the problem isn't really with current governments, this situation has been building since the 80's
oh god sorry no - it was Granny!!!
oh, no, that was in Australia, rose said that :)
G M all
hi, chickie
It is here Jacq! Our problems on Sark are entirely to do with the government
in order to fuel the economy, people must spend spend spend, if they save it doesn't keep the infrastructure alive
no Liz, this was an inevitable crash, it was just waiting to happen, the monetary policies of the 80's the the greedy generation couldn't be suported any longer
wether we spend or not, gov't still gets taxes
hi D C This grid looks tricky.
The job losses and economic breakdown here are not to do with the recession - I quote from a newspaper - "For a few precious hours there was a sense of jubilation and victory on Sark yesterday as, on a bright blue day, the tiny Channel island celebrated its first democratic election after 150 years of feudal rule. But joy turned to despair for many, and uncertainty for all, when the Barclay brothers, owners of the Telegraph and the Ritz hotel, reacted to their disappointment at failing to get their chosen candidates elected by announcing they were ceasing their multimillion-pound operation on the island and laying off 140 workers. "
and how do you suppose those without funds or job even are to spend spend spend?
i'm 2/3 done in about an hour, chickit.
That is the equivalent of 14 million people losing their jobs in the UK overnight
yes they do, but over here we have had a decrease in vat, all of 2%, which is nothing to the ordinary jane doe trying to buy food for her kids, now the super rich buying their new porsche, they save a fair bit lol
oh ok that sounds pretty good :)
where i lived back home has just lost one of it's largest and oldest employers, in a twon where there is no industry, very little manufacturing, and an increasing population
liz, that reads rather like they're hiding behind he elections to provide distraction from their layoffs
i's scary
why a decrease in VAT?
It happens whenever they dont get their o3wn way DC. Unfortunately this seems more final this time. They have been likened to babies throwing toys out of the pram
Morning all......Liz.....is Sark not one of the Channel Isles?
no-one can spend BR, but that i what's needed, it's a catch 22 situation, and we are basically stuffed
hello Flask
It is indeed Flask
mornin,g flask
hi flask
great icon, babrab
I was thinking about perhaps selling my debt on ebay

very windy here in Scotland, today...
things are good snow is bad :)
i just hope i can afford the utilities on my cardboard box...
it's just cold here, yet no frost. We've not had a hard frost yet this season.
you're lucky dc!
god i miss scotland, i miss my kids, hearing a familiar accet, seeing the sea every day
homesick to the max today
haven't had much snow here yet
where are you now jacq??
we just keep getting snow,snow and more snow!!!
london
Fair -4°F (-20°C)
will you get home for some part of the holidays, flask?
snow out here in northwest is bad as well; pretty cold too
oh Chickie you lucky thing! I'd love some snow
i missed the snow they had because it all melted before i got home to visit lol
where are you flask?
isn't that normal round this time of year there, babrab?
dc...I am home...lol
pretty mild
lucky thing!!!!!
Am in the borders jacq....
ah, so it's colder there than i realized.
Last time we had snow was about 5 years ago :(
one day last week we had 14 in. then rain on top of that. tonight we are suppose to get 5-7 in.and two more storms by Christmas! :(
we're anticipating some significant snow here this season, meaning at least one snowfall of at least a meter.
bummer...
Now you're just rubbing my nose in it!
ice on snow is common here, when it snows. it's fun to slide across the snow, not leaving footprints
lol
DC - Humpf!!!!!
i know what you mean Liz, where i lived we used to get somepretty significant snowfall, but the past couple of decades it fell away to nothing
any clues for the 2 x 8's please?
its not good at my age afraid of falling!
liz, we go years with but a dusting of snow here, we have very milde winters on the whole, with a 'real' winter about once every 10 years.
We used to get really cold winters here but the last few its been almost as mild as the summer!

never mind- got it

Maybe Haz's duct tape will do the trick. :)
how can you tinker Haz?
It's all too secret to talk about, Eva.
what would it take to bribe you?
Haz is a whiz with tecnhical jargon. :)
I could tell you but then somebody would have to shoot me or lock me up.
Yes, indeed. Servers and cookies are my speciality. Sometimes I even serve cookies.
Home Ec came in as handy training for the internet, didn't it.
I never took Home Ec. It required sewing. I needn't go any further with my explanation.
***wonders if Merk was able to open my profile***
We had to take it, sewing and all. I think it scarred me for life.
We had the choice of Domestic Science, as it was then known, or Science. I chose Science as being the lesser of two evils and spent the next two years in wonderment at my inability to understand what they were on about.

Oops, clued the wrong pa...sorry
hey Jac, long time no see
ay.... :D
I've been doing the grid on paper; practising for next week when I have no internet on holiday.
wow....this chat will be an interesting read some day.
Hi Jacq.:)
So, if you have no internet, how are you going to know what the grid is. Or are you going to make up your own (some sad people do that on holiday, but only the really addicted ones)
I seem to have lost the use of the question mark.
lol
Insert two question marks in my posting to make sense.
Haz - Paul can get the grid up on his mobile phone. It would take forever to put the words in on there though.
lololol
I might have known technology would find a way.
:-D
!~!~!~FIREWORKS~!~!~!
morning all! farret must not be how you spell the rodent
If you're really stuck, you can make a grid using the letters from a sentence from a book you're reading. So I've heard.
Congratulations Kristine!
TY
Somone did that when on safari I believe, Haz.;-)
lol, glad I'm not addicted....
Hi Dan.
Well done Kris.
G'd morning dan
No, addiction must be dreadful.
Does anyone know what happened to lickety?
Time to go, Good Luck all
Later Kristine, have a good one.
I quit Babble every day. It's a good feeling to know I'm in charge of my choices.
Absolutely, Lori. That takes strength.
Sorry bichon, no idea. Lickety may just be busy.
I'm feeling so darn cheery, I just may start Christmas shopping today. Get an early start on it.
good morning all, may I have clues for the 8's.please
Busy? BUSY? :D I quit babble once...it was easier than one might expect...and Lori SHOULD Christmas shop. She is NOT joking.
Every few months I quit Babble for a while. When the urge comes again, I feel renewed
Hello all.
HI, Scrabbler
I must be invisible today
Big snow storm starting tonight--wooohoooo
Hi Periwinkle--we miss your icon.
Hey Scrabs, has the stomach virus hit your practice. Everyone here seems to have it. I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning up after babysitting for granddaughter
I just changed back to my periwinkle, refresh to see it
It's always around but the specific virus changes throughout the seasons. Yep, it's gross.
Peri, don't have both but one is a amle who carries liquid
Does very cold weather limit any viruses?
And back - phone call interrupted play. Hello to al who joined.
Gd Morning! Any clue for ce 6,21?
*a male
pa8 = father's side of family
what does it start with bichon
pa8 = 'of the father'
thanks lady
lmk-sounds like a ridgy knife
and Jacula
wa peri
ce + the minimum wage is the lowest **** ofpay.
Germs thrive when people are in close proximity so when it is yucky outside (or in schools/day care sites) the germs are shared nicely, then brought home.
thanks bichon
Today it's hubby's turn for the yucky stuff. I had it Monday and my Mom got it last week. She lives at an assisted living facility and it roared through there
does anyone have that single n on top?
yw peri
Germs don't live outside--the usualu viruses that is.
ty Uniquity and Eva! Must not have had enough coffee yet.
So are viruses always present in the indoor environments or where do they come from?
People's bodies--nose, mouth etc
Eva - you almost typed the word in your question. Mesh +
thanks jac!
Jac, how many letters is the n?
so where do they come from before they are in our bodies?
And we live in a world with much travel so germs get to travel too
y/w Eva,
It's so great that the dogs don't get our germs
bichon - ne5/12
ty jac
There are zoonotic infections--germs we can catch from animals.

Yeh, there were 24 (!!) killed by the accident and it seems it was caused by an arrogant bus driver trying to pass another bus on a narrow desert road.
My friend's sister with husband and 5 kids live in Israel.
Oh, where do they live, Scrabble?

OK, it such a small world, would be funny if I knew them.

thanks bichon, mighthelp the word lodge in my brain
thanks bichon! sounds like a high tennis shoe!
I get an on-line linkage through the University Web page
Dictionary of Americanisms - NETOP. "This Indian word," says Mr. Pickering, "is still used, colloquially, in some towns in the interior of Massachusetts, to signify a friend, or (to use a cant word) a crony." Roger Williams, in his Key to the Indian Language, says, "What cheer, netop? is the general salutation of all English towards the Indians."

Hi everyone.....I have ga; 4/6..4/7..5/16...what am I missing?
ok...let me take a quick look again...
don't think a mermaid could keep up with him Judi
We really must put an end to allowing Lickety to go on vacation.
yeah.. we need Mr. P to keep him in line...
he on vacation again??
We're far too dependent and needy.
he takes more vacations than President Bush
I thought someone said he "partied too hardily"
Really! Where can I get a job like that?
did he go to Crossy's kegger party?
ahh the old self abuse thing:/
lol ruru
glad I am past those self-destructive days
anyone help me please?

Ditto, Flask.

probably missing the 6 which sounds like an art place
thanx ruru....
ooooh, thx ruru!
Yes! TY, ruru!
babs...got the sound and the pics...
brb need coffee
the one in the dell
...the sound breaks periodically when the picture changes and the text more often than not is not up long enough to read all of it...
op 6 -- not translucent; op 7 -- less translucent
...IMHO, one might consider "leading" with the text following by the image materializing, etc. Just a thought...
I'm guessing Babs1 is gone?
F4,5,4,6,4,4,...whats missing?
hello all
hi peri
I have a question about wine?
ok...of to work... ;(
Hi, Peri!
mm trying that britt word for a lineup...dosent seem to be working:((
hi all
did not mean to put the question mark there
howdy carlee;)
carlee can you suggest a wine without sulfites that is slightly sweet
CROSSY!
howdy eva:))
all wines have sulphaites.....unless u make urself
where have you been, sir? *taps foot*
sulphites*
fa 5 === like the fa 4 preceding
what is the stuff in wine that gives me a headache then?
its a preservative..AND it is a natural component of the fermentation of grapes
Aren't the sulfates
alcohol lol
what about organic wines?
Duh. Aren't the sulphates a by-product of the grape squeezins?
its a NATURAL component in the fermentation process
let me check something here at work
Mmmmm. Organic sulphates.
I'll drink to that.
i just buy my booze 150 proof or better,burns of all those nasty by-products;)
crossy, i think i may have found an item that out-does your bacon weave...
Fireworks!!
I am not a big drinker but I would like a glass of wine now and then
yay for Annie
plus its great for counters,cleaning toilets and degreasing carbs;)
Congrats, Annie
you kidding eva...
LOL , crossy
you mean that bacon wrapped turkey?
we do NOT kid about bacon weave!
all praise the bacon weave....
ok..peri...am quoting...\true suphite sensitivity can cause, nausea, hives, chest tightness...even mild sulphite....and only affects 1% of the population
i see your bacon weave, and i raise you bacon weave cheese wrap! http://www.holytaco.com/if-i-die -bacon-related-death-id-it-be-because
well, I do not get those symptoms
No lie - I actually saw a article about a candied bacon martini a few days ago. I love bacon, but... yuck.
lol they are theves! all they did was add cheese! lol
yuk is right, Judi
dried fruit has HIGh concentration of sulphites...raisins....up to 250 PPM...it is typically tannins that trigger migraines... and are caused by the phenolic flavenoids related to tannins of RED grapes
I love a glass of wine or 2 or 3 with dinner...thank goodness, I am not of that 1%..
ah, the tannins then
my plan is to take this bacon weave cheese wrap, and batter + deep-fry it, adding powdered sugar + maple syrup. :)
se with mine its endless what you can do.just imagine 3 cooked weaves as part of a clubhouse sammy
so I should stick to the white wines then
Damn, Eva! I think that same sandwich caused Homer Simpson to have a major infarction.
*whimpers* I've got to go and have my flu jab. I'll be back ...
if is red that causes problem...is tannin ( typically), whites, sulphites. all wines..typically is the histamines..in which case cheeses, chocolate sausage and other fermented foods like sauerkraut
but have it with white wine lol
OMG Eva, just imagiing the calories, cholesterol, etc. is giving me a stomache
heh, nothing is HEALTHY about anything onvolving bacon weave!
so..sweeter white...riesling, piesporter, liebfraumilch and gewurztraminer...gotta run customer
I FOUND A BACON EGG NOG!!!

Congratulations!

clue for ma/5, 20?
something with ma5/16
Descriptive form of ma 5/16
the dog has ma5/16, but the dig *is* ma 5/20
OH GOD LICKETY HASN'T UPDATED HIS PAGE TODAY! *the horror, the horror*
isn't the descriptive form ma/6,33?
they're alternate spellings of the same word, faith
horror faint trauma!
Ata, I feel faint. Would you happen to have any ammonia, errrr, I mean smelling salts laying around?
sorry, i've already fainted

Never fear. I shall dash a cupful of ammonia in your face. That will revive you.
there aren't any ye
LynnNate, you're using yesterday
's list
awe wrong lickety grrrrrrrrrrrrr
todays isnt working i guess
It's awful, and I don't know what to do
the grid is simply undoable!
Even with the evidence of lots and lots of people who have gotten fireworks staring me inthe face--I agree
absolutely
However, Jacula has posted the basic stats in her profile again
hurray! teh world is saved!
Our little part of it, at any rate
Babler
oops. Babler's anonymous has the stats. That's what I"m using to finish.
and I still can't spell babbler. heh.
I find the Babbler's Anon format to be counter intuitive and difficult to maneuver in :(
aww.
it's useful at a pinch
I'm having trouble because I am missing two words. I went through the list on BA and I thought I had all but one.
So now I have to do it again.
Or, I suppose, I could go work on my paper.
LOL mirrine
well, I'm off. I'll have to finish later. =/ Enjoy, all!
bye
i'm absolutely not managing without lickety
Jacula's saved me. I only have seven left.
I have 4 left
which 4. Ata?
well I have five since the last update :)
ermmmm an A, M, P, and T. the A is particularly annoying me
OK, now--the WA8? is not a *real* word
nooooo
Fireworks. You want clues, Ata?
ag 4 == a + a horse directive al 4 --- smart**** al 4 --- not you but .... ar 5--- alt sp of what knights wore

i mean uk
hi MonkeyGames
FMitch from UK. Me from Netherlands. Ook ook.
Hi Spacemonkeysz!
i from usa
Evening MG :)
the USA
what time is it there MG?
Can anyone clue the lower left E? Stared at it a lot earlier to no avail.
8:08 pm.
hi all, and bye all :) Icon updated to tomorrow's new theme, which will be a Beach Party to uplift all us poor European peeps. *hugs* and have fun.
Hi and bye Sprite!!!!! Beach party, OK!
see ya sprite!

And thanks!
FMitch, I heard from kje only yesterday evening, and her only day left here was today :( We couldn't make it. But kje will be back and we WILL meet then.
Brill!!
Awww, darn! I was looking forward to meeting her. Oh well. She had my number-- but today is my busiest day anyway and it wouldn't hae worked out.
Too bad I missed her though.
can i get a hint for eg 4/6?
another *hug* for my babble friends, must put this tired lady into bed before she becomes too attached to this computer again.
e + short archaic word for female human
eg + Mr. Gore or Mr. Einstein
sounds like a bird
Night Sprite! Take care of yourself!
awe nighty night spritey and sweet dreams
pater
Oh the guiy from the company whose truck hit the bakfiets says he will pay for all repairs and hopes that wills atisfy me. It will. There is no way to prove the truck DID bump the trike so I think this is a reasonable settlement.
thanks everyone for the clues
Sure thing!
That is a satisfactory outcome MG and a goo dend to the event
Hi there jessmom! Well, I just logged on and find that we do indeed have Licketys list....yesterdays.
I agree. Since there were no injuries and the damage is minimal but a hassle to repair, I think this worked out nicely. Sure scared me though, at th etime.
Hi gapeach!
hi peach!
I see we have some newcomers, eh?
Hey there Monkey
me?
or MG?
I should imagine - I looked at the link to the monster trock!!
Spacemonkeyz joined yesterday and seems quite cool.
Games. Meant to get that all in one line.
oh sorry :D
I've been on a couple years, Space.
oops heehee
oops heehee
Wait until we also have Blue Monkey and Lil Monkey on...#
And Mayne Guy-- people call him MG too... it can get fun.
oh geez.. maybe i should change my name then lol
That's what I thought at forst too; but nah. Thing is though I use some form of Monkety for lots of stuff; turns out to also be a Babble in-joke thing too though. Who knew?
Where are you, Space?
what? lol
Turns out finding a word by fiddling with random combo's is Monkeying, and people say their monkeys are working hard! I did NOT know that when I picked my screen name.
well i didn't know that either lol
It's just that in teh Chinese calendar me, my brother, and my son are all monkeys, and for other reasons as well I just use Monkey a lot in screen names and the like.
the idea for my name came from that little animated movie where the monkeys go into space. i thought it was cute :)
i forgot the name of it
I don't knoiw that I've seen it! Is it online somewhere? Sounds fun.
oh yeah! its called Space Chimps! lol
is it spacechimps?
uh rply too late
i'm sure you can find it.... you can find anything
lol
I'll look it up! But I'm sorry to say that one thing you'll learn about me is that I am a Raging Pedant. Chimps are not monkeys.
I know it's annoying. Can't help it.
yeah well, i like the word monkey better than chimp ;p
Will definitely look taht one up.
That is a fair point. And in Dutch both are "apen" (one aap, two apen), so I guess it's all semantics anyway...
Of course, in Dutch even lemurs are apen...
i liek that "apen"
Not sure about tarsiers, bushbabies, or lorises...
oh geez, i gotta go for now.. will probably be back later. I have to get another lease for my dog. He chewed the one that i have now... happy babbling everyone!!
whuts a tarsier?
Bye Space! I have to go in two minutes myself-- House is on.
A tarsier is a bizarre, very cool primate. Do an image search. They're trippy.
Take a good look at the middle finger-- they use it to gather insects from holes in tree bark.
hi all, and another grid too small for fun! 8-(
then, wats a lorises?
Another super cool primate with a poisonous bite. Google that too. I used to work with them. They are also highly trippy.
Hi Gwen! It's better than yesterday's, anyway.
you work with MONKEYS?
how many words today?
98
I did a long time ago, on a volunteer basis. And lorises. Mostly slow lorises, some slender lorises. OK, got to go now, catch you folks later!

Hi Adam, welcome to the grid!
lol. thanks
back for my last 3 :)
we have officially killed the chat.
hi ata.
I was pronouncing Chat dead, but you have revived it?
maybe! hopefully!
how is ata?
I just had my flu jab, so I'm fine now but I can guarantee I'll feel like crap tomorrow!
Wow ata isnt it a bit late? but good on you. I am not brave enough.
I'd been happily ignoring it until sister started bugging me. constantly.
Well, I hope you do not get the flu!
well ... every time I've had it up till now, I've been ill for a week or so afterwards. So we'll see .... it's bad enough having the reaction from the needle without flu!
Thats why I dont get the jab ata, it makes me really sick...I just wash my hands like mad.
if I didn't hvae very bad asthma and a long history of chronic bronchitis, I'd just do the same
its good to get it Ata, your sister is right!
she is. bloody hate it though. and I always have bad reactions to the hypo needle. My arm will be painful for about a month. Joy!!
hi everyone
sorry to hear that Ata
hi cjmomma
hi cjm!
how is everyone other than Ata...I know it stinks going through that, I have bad sinuses and been avoiding surgery for a few months now
I'm alright.
hey, all! I have one te 6. Is the other t 6 also a te?
at the moment avoiding housework..:)
I don't know. But I'd like to know!
I don't have the first one, sorry I can't help you there
How odd, Lickety is up but with yesterdays clues, I think he must know he is a day behind.
me too -- it's my last word :o)
if I find it, i'll clue you all in
Yes I noticed that also...it's hard for me still to finish without it...thank you Jen
was hoping someone had the list in they're profile :(
Jac may do
1 x te6/21 and 1 x ta 6/18
Hi ursh and jen... ata you did revive the chat.
okay, i looked in the chat log, and it's a ta 6 *dives into grid to mercilessly hunt it down*
*smug*
as always atala.
ok its ta4/4 + mr gore
I think I may have a cold....I feel lousy but yet I dont feel so bad that i have to stop.
yea fireworks! TY ata!
thanks Ata...and Jac for having it :)
dont thank Ata too much, she gets smug easily...
lol
lol
Okay, I guess I must work -- see you all later! :o)

Hellooooooo!
Thanks much redturtlehead.
YW
i should be cleaning...
or baking.
Cleaning? Gracious, what an idea.
what;s cleaning, precious?
there is a termite inspecion tomorro, I can not have the apartment people know I have created a hovel!
Ah yes, I do see your point, redturtle. That may be a legitimate excuse.
back for the last 25 before hubby gets home!
pote
poten
But I admit, I am sort of rearranging more than cleaning...
just get Teulu to roll around the floor a bit
Hi Denny!!!!
Nope, still 25 to go, Denny! lol
PB
:-p sorry
hey everybody. how goes?
Evening all - no lickety today?
jes! I missed top chef (Fell asleep) was it good??
Hello, jesdraggon, Kazzer.
uhm. couldn't tell you, red. don't even know what that is. i suspect you've confused me someone else?
Oh dear I have...a different Jess....odd.
it's okay. i'm easily misplaced ;)
ding dong, what a great day
Jes, my Mom would love to have tiny tim. I am not sure though that she would say that. he would have to miraculously stray to her...
why so great, hursh?
Is that the doorbell, hurshy? Who's there?
well, i had a totally fun excel class in the morning
and i gots me a spiffy new phone
would that be by miraculously straying into your car?
whats up hursh?
and the front door shuts on its own now
Ahhh new phone.
and we're all going to work from home tomorrow cause of the bad weather!
Ahhh Hurshy thats one disadvantage of living in FL, I will never get a snow day.
I have one q to get, I have a 5, 7, 5x3 and a 6, what am i missing please?
another 5
heh. we closed down today; everybody went home early.
in amongst the other bunch
Good gracious, It's 85 degrees here...Am wearing shorts...
snow's past my knees, red :)
probably the hand mill
Jes, I dont think I could take it unles I was shorter than I am now...snow to the knees?
hello -- just dropping in for a moment
well, i dunno how tall you are, but i'm 5'2"
straying into my car?
I am sur I have tried every combination - could you tell me the points please Vic?
Jes, the last cat my Mom got was thrown from a moving car into her driveway...
he's about 16 now.
qu5/16 just like all the others - ends with the ubiquitous sea eagle
right. he'll stray into your car when you come over for dinner :)
when I opened Babble just now, there was a strange Lickety list for a 61 word grid -- anybody else get that?
only when snow melts...she would love that cat though, she enjoys coddling them...
Hi Jilli, its yesterdays grid.
Allegedly Lickety's posted yesterday's list, jillibus, but I think there may be one at BabAnon.
well, i'm hoping i don't still have him when the snow melts
I have that one Vic, and the speech ones and the portion one and also the first 5/16
Ah, then you're missing most of the side of a cube.
anyone have the wa/8,65?
Thanks, Vi -- I don't need it myself -- finished last night. Just wondered if anyone had heard anything about Lickety.
Wowweee, Jes, I am watching the news and indeed lots of snow. Amzing!
wa8 is a brand name for a fountain pen, if you're old enough to remember, lol!
Nope, got that one too. Is there another one before that?
wa 8 = liquid + male person
Jilli I thought that was wa*** Ford?
fireworks here
Yaaaay wteach!
that is a type of crystal redturtle
Oh, sorry, Denny, misread my list. You need one that, if it began with e, would mean making two things the same
that is true denny...hmmm.
ty- got it!
THANK YOU so much Vic - I thought I had tried everything!!!
red, I guess you're too young for the pens! Wa***ford is Irish crystal.
20 to go...
Sorry to lead you on a goose chase first, Denny!
SO confusing....;)
Didn't James Bond have one of those pens that shot poison?
must go and get lunch, then wr** Xmas presents
NTW Vic, I enjoy working out clues!!
TY for that Jilli, believe it or not I was missing that one.
hi all....clue please for the single E on the top row please?
LOL red :)
zest
I need to mail...finished the wr**ping.
Flask - a mixed up road perhaps?
Pres Bush on the tele today looks miserable!
el4/4 -- el + **n of Green Gables
I bet he takes a big vacation...in a month
thanks jilli....got it!
I would imagine he will have LOTS of job offers :-p
:-)
jillibus, how could you not give --ne of Green Gables her E!
poor e-less girl!
oh, sorry, Vi! slip of the finger
=D
I'm s truggling with these last ones :-s
I have several **n friends who hate the e
Ah well. There's no accounting for taste.
...I have ce6/21...ce4/5...cl4/7...cl4/5...cl5/1 6 and cl4/7...what am I missing?
I was wondering about pointing out the Green Gables thing as well. Afternoon/evening all!
cl4/6
hello Haz :-)
Hello, Haz!
i'm happy as a cl4
hazzzzz!!
Hello there!

Vi -- your car is so pretty -- mine isn't but it's interesting

May I please have two clues to finish...re5-14 and qu5-16 (I don't know which qu....I have 4 of them. Thanks
Thanks, jilli. Yours is very cool!
Hello Ata and Flask - it's been a funny day on babble, hasn't it?
re5/14 - pass on info, or race in parts
hi all!
Funny peculiar or funny ha ha?
oa 5/10, oa 5/10, op 6/30, and op 7/44
Bless you Vicuna.
must go! bye all -- have fun!
Funny peculiar. There were problems with the site earlier.
qu - a small cube,
Bye Jillibus.
thanks wvteach - saw them soo quickly then!!
(anyone remember funny damn silly?)
Yes thats right Haz....I just logged for a while....and it was sorted on my return!
Oh! forgot to tell you all. It's Hobbit's birthday today!
It's frustrating when you don't know what's happening.
England, 1939, Sat night radio programme with Arthur Askey
sure is!!
Happy Birthday Hobbit! I hope you didn't give too many treats.
I don't know Denny, I tried what I thought it might be ...but not. Thanks. Maybe reword it somehow?
Happy Birthdaqy Hobbit!!! ( can't seem to leave).
I remember Arthur Askey, jillibus, but not in 1939!
no. a sausage and a bit of fish
She's now a Senior Dog! Wahhh!
lol.....me too Haz!
the one dimensional shape of a cube minus the s
qu 5 --- add a sea eagle
Bye now *poof*
Does she qualify for Hills Senior diet now?
qu 5 --- add consumed
qu + to ingest
apparently so!
sorry that should be ingested - past tense!!
could have the stats for the 2 8's plz they are eluding me :(
Happy Birthday Hobbit!
qu 5 -- add part of to be
Do you remember 'The Good Old Days' Flask? He used to be on it quite a lot (Arthur)
she can't be senior. that's scary
Spangle is senior as well.
qu 5 --- small amount: i***
I do yes!!
holy crap. apparently, i've got some super-rare collectible stuff and didn't even know it.
how old is the glittery one?
Hubby home now so best go - bye all *poof*
She was 8 last month. Not sure of the date, is that a dreadful admission?
Anybody on here know anything about My Little Ponies? (Other than that they're shiny, colorful kids toys)
bye, denny
qu 5 --- cite verbatim; one who citse
lol I know about about Hobbit cos it was written on her vet book thing when we got her. I remember about 2 years our of 3 lol
Not a thing do I know about My Little Pony.
I need 4 p's...are all the p's pa words?
some are very expensive. I know that!
Yes, all p's are pa's.
yeah, i have a whole box of them. and i knew people sold 'em and stuff, but i was thinking $10-$25/pony.
Look them up on ebay or something to see what they're fetching.
apparently, i've got at least one pair that were selling for $100 each a couple months ago.
i had no idea
Are they still boxed?
no, they were for me to play with as a kid!
I have 4 x pa4's...2 x pa5's...1 x pa6...and 1 x pa8...what am I missing please?
wr/5, 20?
OMG BabbleRabble, those I have already...just don't know how to determine which order it is in. Thanks so much/
Tsk tsk, jesdraggon. DOn't you know that toys are an investment, not something to *gasp* play with?!
That's where all the experts would draw in breath and start to shake their heads sadly. Play with toys?
so some are in fairly rough shape, but some of them are practically new; just been sitting in a box for years.
i'm beginning to see that, vic!
wr5/20 - variant past tense of what you do to gifts (that you're giving away)
a lot will depend on condition. collecting MLPs a big thing now, so there's bound to be websites about how to value them
we had a qu 7; a lover
Ah, but they'd be better untouched and pristine. Remember Toy Story 2?
lover's spap
heh. i may be able to make the house payments next month after all :)
Insane...
ty vicuna
I have a ton of the Breyer Horse Models, but I dont think they are worth that much...
Yep, BabRab, I have that one as a 7...it's one of the darned 5-16's.
I dunno, red. depends on the horse. Was seeing them on craigslist the other day for $15 - $20 each.
Thats about how much they cost back in the eighties hen I bought them...
my box of breyer horses is the next thing to be cataloged for sale, i think...
that's it for me folks - fireworks - is lickety off for the xmas break?
Apparently Pendelphin (pendelfin?) figures are collectable as well. I threw all mine out years ago thinking they were too twee for words.
Yay for Kazzer!
do you have a 5 before the 7?
The twee-er the better when it comes to collectibles, Haz.
Congratulations Kazzer - not sure what's happening with Lickety. Alien dingo kidnap again?
Evening all :)
Yes.
Good evening FM!
FM!!!!!!!!
FM!
Lilliput Lane too
Hi there babble buds
babble are you asking about the qa
oops qs
now we just need Lori(Canada) and the witches coven will be complete
I do have some Lilliput Lane - they're just about on the acceptable side of twee. Pendelphins were rabbits peeking out of blankets and things.
You've never spoken a truer word, Ata.
then add, dined; bird; alps: m*un**in
Just passing through on my way to work for a while and couldn't help but pop in - all roads lead to and through babble land :)
and the last qu 5 is the cite
BabbleRabble...I have ending in re; te
Hi Babblers
and HUmmel? Hammel?? thT stuff sells for sooo much now
Husband has discovered an old toy (literally in the attic). Cricket subbuteo, if you please.
Precious Moments. Whoooeeee.
ta;and te. Thanks
Ah but the value and what you can actually sell at are poles apart I think
Hummel is INCREDIBLY overpriced. Sister in law has some. Swarowski crystal is another eye opener.
hold on to the breyer horses, just checked ebay....people are selling for 6 dollars...and of course they cost more even then.
Hello chiley!
and Lladro - which is nicer, but still overpriced
I have a pretty sizeable collection of Swarovski
Cranberry glass has lost about 40% of it value for example
Lladro is nicer than Hummel...I agree.
Yes, I could live with Lladro.
I have nothing of value.
i am off to do rest of xmas wrapping - found part of ma in laws present so need to sort it out before hub goes to visit next week - need to find a box - see you all tomorrow
Clue please for the single N top right.
Well, i do have a lot of the pink glass..
But chiley, it's lovely but don't you find it to be incredibly expensive for what you get?
ne5 - ne plus the summit
ne 5/12
I've vaguely starting to collect some Hornsea. I need something new and interesting to look out for in charity shops!
as we are all talking of things worth, does anyone know how much original weebles are worth?
Yes it is. I haven't bought any new pieces in ages. My husband usually gives me one piece each Christmas.
Thanks Haz
You're welcome, BettyAnne.
Thanks also Kazzer99
I bet lots jakes mum, sentimental now.
howdy everyone;)
crossy!!! ((()))
my mate has got a load of them including the toys they went on like the merry go round etc and wants me to ebay them for her
I've got a few pieces of Swarowski, mostly presents because when I look at the prices I kind of gasp and go pale.
Haz thanksf or the ne clue!
You're welcome, red.
not even sure where to start price wise with them
if you look at ebay you will get an idea JM.
I've no idea about weebles.
Hello cross.
speaking of glass etc,my better half used to collect royal doulton caracture mugs.but you ladies sound serious lol
crossy - check yr email later, no rush :)
I started collecting Swarovski years ago, before it became a "hot" item.
weebles obble but they dont fall down.
kk fm:)
see i always know where i stand with value, i collect money lol
FM, check my flickr for new sily :)
Your collection is probably worth quite a lot, chiley, but to be honest, if you love it for its own sake, its value in monetary terms shouldn't matter.
For a change of subject.....do you think Scarlet went to a 12-step program to break her addiction to Babble?
I don't know how she managed it chiley.
that's why we named our cat "weeble"!
chile, I see her occasionally on facebook.
there is no babble "addiction" have quit hunderes of times;0
Maybe she just found too many other things to do, or something? A kind of strange notion, I know.
lol chiley - she has just been everso busy - carleekat and her family are going to spent the holiday with her though
Thanks BabbleRabble for your help...I'll keep trying...it's my last one to finish. Bummer, huh?
hundreds even
Haz, some of my pieces are quite old. But I wouldn't sell them.
Are they actually staying WITH her? If so, Scarlet is a much better person than I am to have people in
No, I wouldn't sell them either - you value them for what they are rather than what they represent in money terms.
I think they are indeed.
ga, you are missing the qu + sea eagle
no, they aren't
beter not to sell unless one is desperate.
Ahhh Ata corrects me again...
I'm always interested to see people's reactions on Antiques Roadshow -those who say 'Well, we love it and it's going nowhere' are my favourites.
sounds like the ode to a grecian URN
I love to watch antiques roadshow.
grrr stuck with 24 to go
they are staying somewhere nearby hers
I have 21...
My crystal cabinet looks so pretty at Christmas. It's mirrored and I place a few small red ornaments on the shelves. It really brightens it up.
i refuse to believe there are any 8 words
lol haz i love watching that show every time a nice old tiffany oil lamp or something similar comes up and they lay a $80,000 dollar value on the thing and people hit the floor;)
the one eight is fatherly.
We have lovely crystal in Ireland - it's fun to watch it being blown etc.
'mulls over fatherly'
AR always overvalues too
BabbleRabble, I'm sure that you are right...I'm not spelling it correctly, evidently. Thank you so much for working with me.
the other 8 is a brand of fountain pen, or a guy who goes to the well
could i have first letter plz?
My dream vacation would be to go to Austria to the Swarovski factory
On is a pa the other is a wa.
lol been so long sice i bought a pen like that i almost forgot
Ah fountain pens - I love to write with one of those.
wa8
My dream vacation involves a maid and staying hoem!
ok got the wa, will mull on the pa
I've been in a Swarowski shop in Vienna. They should have issued sunglasses at the door together with strategically placed chairs.
ty all
BabRab, I feel so foolish...it was right in front of my eyes all the time....again, thanks so much. See y'all tomorrow.
I still use one I bought over 30 years ago (faints at the sheer nubmer of years)
Oh Haz, I can just imagine
We have a Swarowski shop in Canterbury now!!
congrats, ga
Bye gapeach - well done for persisting.
Bye gap!
a nice cross fountain pen,and not the ones with cartriges,the ole dip and write ones,though the ones with the lil lever to suck up the ink were neat
attempts bravely to revive FM from her faiting spell.
Thanks red :) sorry about that
grrr cant get the pa8!! :(

sorry about the 2x thing. my window is freaky here.
Um Jac has a list in her profile
Ill tiny URL the list link Mich
ce 6/21 please
(my internet has been shaped give me a moment)
storm, that last one wasn't supposed to be 56. it's a 6-letter word. and, by the way, those are the Qs and the number is the number of letters. off to change a diaper. hope i helped.
I need an idea.. we're going to MI for christmas to visit my hubbie's grandma, and i dont know what to get her :( she's 73. what do elderly women like??
http://tinyurl.com/3q98xh
this is the list
Space is there anything that she collects or likes?
what do the 8's start with please?
something personal, unless you know she collects something, women at that age usually pretty much have all the knick knack type of thing they need
ARRRRRR MELIAE Get out of my head youll upset the monkeys
Thank you herin!
Thats ok
lol Herin
i know that one of the 8's starts with wa
One 8 is to be pa****** or fatherly
ty
I was typing the same thing. The other 8 is Wa
meliae, yeah you're right about the kick knacks lol I was thinking about baking cookies, but idk...
I have the pa...tis the other I was afer ty:)
wa 8 h20+n ot woman
OH SPace cookies is a lovely idea.
the wa8: think liquid plus a dude
duh...ty
does anyone have the n in the upper right corner? i've been beating my head against it all day.
I am making a tea set up for Grandma. (B.fs) with shortbread and lemon butter
Space - If you have any particular baking 'specialty' that would be a nice idea. I do snickerdoodles and gingerbread men for people and they usuall rave about it. (In a good way).
ifshe likes movies or playes tickets to one of those and perhaps a gift certificate for a dinner she can use the same night perhaps?
yeah, i guess i can bake her some cookies and put it in a cute little decorated bag or something. but will i be able to take it on the plane?? (we have to fly there, cuz we live in Louisiana)
Not me Tee I have been looking for it as well
i'm getting my 89 year-old grandma a pedi and mani. she can't do them as well as she used, too.
elderly ladies like food...and warm blankets. maybe a no sew blanket.
they also like creams and loations and such....
I know if you were leaving the country baked goods couldn't go..dunno about in country. Flying usually destroys anything food
i'm getting my 89-year-old grandma a pedi and mani - she can't do them like she used to.
its an NE 5/12 if that helps Tee
When I win at tennis I jump the ne* and give them my **inion. Does that help?
They also like Flower arrangements and stuff that goes away so they dont have to save.
yeah thats a good idea RedT
all you guys have good ideas :)
Hi Red. I don't have grandparents. This is the b.fs Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa is getting a bottle of port. He is awesome
I want a pedi and a mani...
melie, that will hopefully help. didn't know. thanks.
Will i be able to take food on a plane though?? I'm flying Delta
(Ok so in truth I really want someone to BUY my HOUSE.
i know. but, it's mean to keep it to myself. sorry about the double entry again. i'm having technical difficulties today.
You would have to speak to the airline and consider any potential security/clearance issues. Goes for lotions too, Ithink
Everyone likes alcohol, except me.
got it Tee its what fishermen put their fish in +**erating room is where you have surgery
You can check it....but as for taking it on...well. The TSA misses a lot of things. I traveled from FL to NM this year accidently with a fw razors in my bag....
Thanks! I just monkeyed it myself.
yeah lol she's having a family reunion on the 27th while we're there, and she's having an open bar.. but i cant drink in my condition lol (preggo)
As I understand it, they are more strict at XMas...don't wrap anything either, if they check you, it'll be all undone
ce 6/21 please?
Grandpa is awesome. he dug out his own cellar. He has port kegs in there. He isn't able to go into there much these days but its his favourite room. That and his shed.
SPace congratulations
heehee thanks its a boy!
woot.
good luck all. the preschooler woke up, so i have to pay attention to other things. congrats, spacemonkey.
I'm SOOO glad my OB said i can go on a plane.. i was worried about that, but i'm only 5 1/2 months

when its over 250 i just go for the bog point words
big even
i tend not to touch those, just sit here and pester the chog
is the top right N "normal?"
Hi feather
hi herin
not ridiculous, but not normal either
k, thanks. i'll go back to it later then.
Feather can i ask a mum question
sure herin
hello all!
I got down to 30 last night...
hi stid!
HI Stid.
awesome. wanna race? i'm down to 79, lol
it's frigid cold out there!!!
howdy stid:)
sure feather, I 'might' have a chance !
it tis cold indeed
do we have lickety today?
nope
As a mum would you like someone to put on your door step a santa gift for you? I am thinking a tea cup and tea with a bar of soap from the body shop and some biscuits
awww, that's sweet herin! but you don't even know where i live.....
hello cross, dear! don't you love it when we can just put the refrigerated things out the back door?
There is a list at Babble ANon
(yes, i would love that if a neighbor did that)
oh lady -- you have such good ideas!
lol i have the butter and cheese on the window sill right now stid;0
thanks lady, was just about to grab that list too.
are all the Q words normal? i'm missing one.
actually too cold to keep the milk out there
rofl... I know! I considered putting the huge turkey we just bought (frozen) out the back door, then remembered the bear. So the fridge is just a little crowded.
Hi Stidd and Mr Hair
hi all...home from work just as it starts snowing yet again!!!
woot woot!
hey red! when are you going to update your blog???
Not for you but i would. My next door neighbour has three under 5 one 5 year old one 3 year old and one 2 year old. The kids are ghastly. the 3 year old doesn't get that she should share and the 2 year old wants it NOW. they are being rather horrid. I hear them when they are in teh back yard from my bathroom and if they are out the front i hear them too. I don't know how she copes
hey pini! we made it home just barely in time an hour ago
hi pini!
hi red!
yes, i think she'd really enjoy that.
I love the snow...means I might not have to go in to work tomorrow (starting my vaca early)!!! ;)
if you have this kind of relationship, i bet she'd enjoy a morning of you getting them out of her hair even more!
They sound like typical kiddos. Homemade cookies might be less expensive Herin and appreciated as much. Kids are rather horrid.
LOL Pinik. No snow here. And I guess I must admit even if it did snow...I still have to go to work.
we're waiting on snow
oh, poor, red! "Eye sowwy!"
I don't know them that well. Just enough enough to knock on the door and say '' hi here is a letter we got'' or ''hi im poisoning the side of the property near your yard is that ok''
it's supposed to start at 6am, and be worst from 12-2, with rates of 1-2 inches an hour. so i'm thinking they'll drag us in to school just to turn around and go home again, so they don't have to use up a snowday.
Its ok, I am actually so amazed at the snoww the country is getting it really hits home with me how big the US is as it was er 81 degrees here today.
lol herin. then yes, a basket would be lovely.
As gone....
Oooh, make gingerbread man.
I know what you mean, Red...it's 35F here...lovely!
Stid, I need 4 of those A's!
our district used up three snow days this week. Which, since they don't actually build any in to the schedule means the kids are now going three more days into the summer.
which one pini?
And yes I am glad I am not there Pninik...35! Brrrrrr.
I have the guy's name and military wear (var spelling)
we've already used 1 snowday, had one early dismissal, and had 2 two hour delays. and it's not even christmas yet! a long 3 months ahead of us.
and lady -- if you can afford it, cheap comic books and crayons are good for kids that age. They need (and like) to scribble to develop their fine motor skills. Parents can't keep enough supplies.
comic books stid? or coloring books?
mmm not bad here at the moment its only -4 c
oops. coloring books. good catch feather --
hee hee
28 f for your southern friends;0
sorry, one eye is on the TV, trying to learn what tomorrow has in store
I dont know how you all bear up in the clod weather.
Well, *some* comic books might need some color! ;)
I am finally watching yesterdays top[ chef...
thx crossy!
C conquered
down to 64, i'm practically breathing down your neck, aren't i stid?
stid...waiting for the A's
-4 c is nothing red,i have felt and lived in -40 c/f now that is wild.you even have to breathe differently
next weeks Top Chef will be really cool, red
I used to work with kids have a cert and everything. I get how 3 and 2 year olds don't work
Cross I would never do it. I went to the Univ of Rochester in NY....and I did learn there was a palpable difference between -10 and -18...
at -40 f you have to make sure to breathe in through your nose and out trough your mouth or you will frost your lungs
it's pretty cold here cross, about 1 C (that's just above freezing) from the digital thermometer we have outside
LOL lady! then you are twelve steps ahead of me when I was parenting those ages!
was -14 other day,so -4 is feeling not bad atm;)
Yep 3 year olds don't share and 2 year olds want it NOW and don't share
Es eliminated
4 year olds don't share either. well, i take that back, he's learning.
sweater and light fleece jacket are sufficing along with a nice wool toque
toque ?
good thing i'm not having twins! lol
thanks pini
knitted hat=toque
but at 4 they get that they should share but just don't want to
thx crossy
PB cross...
a true canadian icon is the toque;)
oops
*puts hot egg nog and cookies in PB*

weee just got an 8 letter :)
stid, didn't even register that as a word until you said something!!!
pini started it!
LOL shove off to the great white north you hoser... *huge big wink at cross*

It was an easy little grid, mel.
ty both ... I thought yesterdays was worse
Bye Mel
But we need those kinds of grids inthe run up to Christmas... busy, busy, bus...
yes Jac, I agree
hi all
Hi Nrkii
Hi nrkii. Long time, no see. How's things with you?
eh... recovering from surgery and I think I'm about to lose my job
What???
new boss... previous boss adored me then resigned, so now new boss has just given me a "talk" that does not bode well
are the 2 tied together?
uh oh
surgery and job? no, just crap timing
Oh!:((
After 4 years, I am finally back with my favorite boss... I awitched companies in Sept
New Bosses stink
I wish my just departed boss could hire me... pretty sure he wouldn't have anything for me
in the last 2 years I had 5 bosses at my old CO
New bosses try to do their best but end up being New Brooms whatever they do.
I'm good at what I do, but I tend to have a "love me or hate me" interaction with bosses
that stinks! I am sorry for you
I hardly ever end up with a boss who is ambivalent
about me
I know what you mean
well, right now I just want to keep working as long as I can, and if I lose the job, I'll go from there and figure it out
nrkii - not having been presented with you in boss mode, I could not possibly comment.
but it's been a depressing week
sounds like it.
well Jac, they all SHOULD love me, and silly them if they don't!
Hey girl! You just keep on keeping on. That's all any of us can do.
How is your shoulder doing?
seriously, my best bosses have always been the ones who are very frank with me, tell me what they want me to do differently, and then give me space to do that
My old bosses were jerks then they called me and wanted to have lunch with me after departed
my shoulder is getting better - strange sharp pains in my arm started this evening, but not too bad -- seems like I might be stressing a nerve somehow so will ride it out
You mean our version of that, nrkii, even if it doesn't gel with their own.
DR, that's pathetic behavior!
yep! I told them NO WAY
Erm, what DR? Don't think so.
It does sound like nerve pain Nrkii
I try to take them pretty literally -- the more directive they are in that situation, the better I do...
They wanted me to help the new person with my processes
in general I don't like too much direction, but when it comes to my boss coaching me on how he/she wants me to improve, the more specific they are the better
DR, that's crazy, glad you told them no
If you were not competitive in nature, nrkii, you would not be on this site. However, enough is enough sometimes, in real life!
oh- dinners ready- bbl
my lickety's still isn't loading anybhelp
see ya DR
Good Luck Nrkii
typo
bye Jac
I'm very competitive, but I'm first to admit when someone points out that I
'm wrong
oops
I'm not sure I would respond to the 'how the boss wants me to improve' thing of the boss is a total tit, tied to the company line.
Jac, that's true, but the good ones have pointed out honest-to-goodness imperfections in how I work, so haven't asked for anything unreasonable
hard to do, yes, but not unreasonable to expect
I dn't mind been guided for the 'best way' to place myself somewhere, but I won't be dictated to and I will never deviate from my true self. Awfu; Pagan., aren't I?
Toe the line to make money, but onmce you've made money, drop out.
nah... I agree with you ... my thing is that I have a very strong personality when I interact with others, and sometimes I have to remember that not everyone loves to deal with that... especially junior people who can't "fight back" and end up unhappy
I have to check the assertiveness at the door sometimes
LOL, my ex hub tried that once, the drop out thing. It didn't work for him.
yeah, I never have enough money to drop out
wish I did
Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
hi Min!
May I now request that you either read Chales Dickens' 'Little Dorrit' or watch latest TV version of it?
ChaRles Dickens, I meant.
really? never read it
nrkii - Dickens is one of the great writers of our times. He wrote about love, friendship, devilry and raged against the unfair politics and class systems of the times,
I've read some Dickens, but not all
Which is why he is still one of our greatest writers.
some Pickwick, Tale of Two Cities, Great Ex., Christmas Carol...
my son just finished reading Great Expectations
that might be it
fireworks!
Congratulations nrkii on your fireworks!Good for you
Read Little Dorrit, pulished in instalments between 1855 and 1857. That was NOT fiction.
Hello Mom01!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
thanks for the list in your link Jacula -- helped me through my last 10 words
i'm sleepy, but good, thanks :)
Well done nrkii!
y/w, re the list nrkii.
okay, early night for me I think... snow tomorrow, and I have to be ready to face the last work day of the week
how many words on this puzzle?
have a good night everyone!
night nrkii
Actually, mot of Dickens work wasn't totally fiction, which is why he's still read today.
98 words
thanks for chatting with me Jacula ... Little Dorrit now on list to read
Make sure you DO read it, nrkii!
Goodbye nrkii! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
(yawn, mental stretching as real stretching not possible, and poof!)
No more clues needed now?
If not, I'll wander off to bed.
Goodbye Jacula! Thank you for your list.It helped out
I just got scared, scannin through my photo files when I saw a picof me at 21 and one of my daughterat 22.
Then, I thought, it's time to go back to bed, you silly cow!
So I am and I will! Happy Babbling all. See you later in the next grid.x

hello again... APRIL!!!! are you still here?
hi stid! hi everyone.
Hi! just getting off though. How did your quarter go?
it was AWFUL! much too much... sorry we never connected. You?
mine was horrible beyond.
((((hugs)))) sorry to hear that
every bad thing (almost) that could happen did.
and are you stuck at home now? we are... got out for just a little today, and almost didn't make it home!
college isn't all it's cracked up to be, that's for sure
yah, stuck
aww stid, sorry to hear that
(((APRIL and STID)))
I am only taking one halftime program this next quarter though, that will be nice. And concentrating on getting ready for the rest of the tests I have to take for endorsements
AND working on getting the application for the master's program pulled together
taking too much can make life really miserable for sure.
thanks lbd
I don't know how other people manage to hold down a job and go to school... I really don't.
(((LBD))) thanks.
btdt, wore out the t-shirt! college isn't for the faint of heart, that's for sure.
well, my mom can only get late stage lung cancer once, my brother can only die once, my cat can only die once, and I'll never have to put another restraining order on my husband again I hope. One quarter, what else could happen?
on the other hand, I survived full-time + 3 credits, even if it demonstrates i am not too bright! LOL
oh april. (((((((hugs))))))) I had no idea. *sad mama look*
oh April, what a horrible time for you!
it has been terrible. and I got an inner ear virus while in California over t-day week visiting my mom. Hello, I drove and it causes a lot of vertigo. what a year. It is getting better, I know it.
stid, I have never understood working and full time school. Those people are masochists.
*sending VERY POSITIVE energy to April*
sending you t's and p's for a better rest of the year and for the new year too
thanks, I need it
are you going to see your mother over this break as well?
The new year always feels really hopeful to me.
hi, all....
hi Pam
just reading back a little... April, I am so sorry for your losses and for your mom's diagnosis, and the TRO....((())))
no stid, I need to move and she wasn't sure if she was heading to Utah or not. She just finished an aggressive 7 weeks of daily radiation and weekly chemo, and now she has an internal fungal thing happening so, who knows.
hey pam!
Stid, hope your next quarter is better, too!
Hi, stid and lbd!
thanks pam
and it is a long drive...I still have the vertigo from the inner ear virus
it will be, Pam. smaller credit load and something I already have some knowledge in. It will feel like child's play!
oh, good, stid.
do you need any help with the moving, april?
wow. *sending positive energy to your mom, too*
where are you moving to, april?
I am taking about 16 graduate credits, double time for a grad. I failed a class this quarter and failed to do my contract. I need to make it all up. When I move the anxiety will release a bit and I can focus on school.
I don't but thanks stid, I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff and have a couple of friends to help.
oh april. wow.
well let me know when you get settled in. I owe you coffee still
I think I'll be heading up to Shoreline, North of Seattle. I don't have to commute daily to Olympia and the commute won't be much longer than from where I am now.
can you talk to the profs and see if you can get an I grade instead of the fail?
stid, we MUST connect!
LOL then we will, april.
no lbd, grad credits are get them all or none. Incompletes just don't happen at this level.
i understand, but you've had extenuating circumstances.
I am ok with the loss of credits. It is a small thing really at this point.
I am ok with the loss of credits. It is a small thing really at this point.
twice, wow, I am passionate about it!
you're doing the MPA, I think?
LOL April!
yah
finishing (hopefully) by summer. I think I will have to do a class in summer but will be able to walk with my cohort in June.
that's an intense program when the sun is shining and the birds are singing!
I will come to graduation, just for you!
awww thanks!
June 12, I think...
I still need that blasted internship. I really want one with a Union but they want a lot of research experience prior to an internship. I need the internship to get the experience.
i think i prefer the intense programs over the extended ones. I did my masters in a 12 month program.
I am going to partly knit my hat. It will have balls of yarn and knitting needles hanging off of it
lol
mine is a 2-3 year program.
12 months, that is intense
no time for fooling around or anything else. writing the thesis in a short time slot was the killer
that old catch 22, eh April? experience needed before you get the job...
wow LBD. that must have been a killer schedule
oops. I am typing slow.
fortunately, a thesis isn't required for my program, though we do a capstone. We can do a thesis if we want, most choose the capstone though.
yah stid...sucky
wish i would have had that option.
I am just glad I don't have the tests to prove I learned something at the end of this degree.
what are they called? comps?
lots have changed since '78. comps and defense
stid, you'll probably need comps right?
true, tests are sucky. I was glad my program didn't have a big final test. just the presentation and paper.
i don't think the Master's in Teaching does comps. But i might be wrong.
The student teaching experiences seem to take the place of comps. I believe we also write theses.
a lot of education programs are going for program development, projects and such over having to write a thesis.
get ready for tons of presentations in your grad program stid
lbd, what is your degree(s) in?
presentations don't bother me... I rather enjoy them!
counseling
msw?
masters in guidance and counseling, a psych degree
and stid, when did you move to Canada? :)
ahh
my group at grad school had to create portfolios rather than do a thesis
LOL I am anticipating my trip to Victoria with the elder stidkid in a week -- we are staying three nights!
came in useful for subsequent job interviews! had to rearrange it a tad, but was a nice head start.
Got a really good deal with the victoria clipper.
hi feather
He has always wanted to sail up through the San Juans
again? jealous!
yah a portfolio would be a great start to the career
i think stid has wheels instead of feet
Well -- he wasn't allowed to accompany us this summer, wanted him to know he can earn things like that.
Victoria is so lovely
ahh good reward
I would like to have a portfolio of ideas ready when I am done with the master's program... make that first year teaching just a little easier.
very nice reward, for both kid and mama
people ask me what I've learned or what kind of research skills I have and I don't know what to say. A portfolio is a great idea as a final assignment
what grade do you want to teach, stid?
this was more a portfolio of grad work completed, showing student teaching work, pictures of projects with students, lesson plans, etc. also had philosophy of education stuff, course work, etc.
*wry grin* except, I don't enjoy traveling. Just enjoy seeing my friends
that is a good thing to have, feather!
April, you could still pull one together so you have those answers at your fingertips
yah, if I had a portfolio of all my work I could just show them
considering it lbd, I like the idea a lot.
I am looking at middle school, LBD. turns out i actually really enjoy them! But also going to get the endorsement for K-6
it was sort of like a deluxe resume, with show and tell items
ok, off to watch some Deep Space Nine (season 2. I bought the season)
Later April! (we are watchign the first star trek movie)
i loved middle school. those kids are so much fun. they're old enough not to be clingy, but still respectful or fearful of teachers! lol
sci fi geeks unite!
night, April, stay warm
maybe cya at the flip.
seeya!
how much snow have you got, stid? we're getting close to a foot.
We got about 6 inches this afternoon as the temps were falling.
For us, that is a HUGE amount.
that is a huge amount! it's been a while since we've had this much snow in town.
yes, I guess Spokane declared a red alert for the snow... it shut the whole city down when the got 20+ inches in 24 hours
I am glad to be on THIS side of the mountains, for sure!
I heard that on the news! I wonder how Jes is faring. she lives north of spokane
I heard that on the news! I wonder how Jes is faring. she lives north of spokane
hi all, back for my last 15! Snowing here too finally!
oops, excuse the burp
I suspect Jes is doing okay, she is pretty tough I think.
hello kazozz! I heard that Vegas got quite a bit?
hi Kaz
I saw on the news they had some...most unusual for them!
Kaz, your neck of the woods often gets snow...feet of snow! do you ski?
I would have thought that Tahoe got it first though --
I do ski, and although not a huge fan of the snow, we really needed it, and its here now with a vengeance!
ooooh Vee-ger has just reached Earth in the movie!
i love that first star trek movie!
I haven't seen it in its entirety before. This is interesting
hubby and i want to take up snow shoeing. easier on the old knees
brb
lb snow shoeing is way too hard for me lol
I have never tried snow shoeing... I like XC skiing though
thats hard too lol
may I have a clue for the AW pls
AW + abbreviate state where Buffalo city is
be sure to read my Christmas rant, if you haven't yet!
hello harp!
*reading rant*
thnx, Stidmama
*grin* as a "nonbeliever" I thank you!
any time phand. need more?
it's quite popular with those messy heathens!
yes CE 6 pls
CE 6 is CE + the four-letter word that means to rank something or give it a grade of some sort
it sounds like a knife with a jagged edge
harp, just read your rant and it's a good one, but it would be more readable if you converted it to Wordpad instead of Word, to get rid of the curly quotes and such exoticisms I learned about a while ago :-)
for a small grid, i'm finding this one is quite easy!
hello jill!
thanks jill, i'll try that!
yes, it was a friendly grid toda
or today
hi stid -- just a pop-in here while getting supper. Did I tell you the latest Xmas plans?
what does that knife begin with?
usually the knife starts SE and has a double consonant, the CE doesn't have a double cons
Hi everyone. My net service died for a while. Wjhat u going to do Jill
um. Dave cooks supper?

Easy supper tonight -- packaged Thai herb marinated tuna steak, rice, buttered baby lima beans (ok, I just happen to like lima beans)
i like lima beans too.

I have to go and do the dreaded I and V word soon

I and V word?
i have to vacuum and then Iron. My b.f is going out for a work function and his pants are crinkly
Stid -- the gange comes here Dec 23, leaves Dec 25 so I can get to Vic Dec 26-7 or you can come here. Dec 28 is busy.
oh! LOL I see!
Corrie is on -- back alter
ahhh, those I and V words! i don't mind the V but I...yuck
wow jill. wow
I would rather clean 1 million revolting public toliets than do either of these two tasks
We don't usually V (only one small carpet in the house), and I isn't usually needed.
hubby does his own ironing. i told him no way was i ironing jeans!
I am done!I have fireworks!me7/44 was my last word
whooooo hooooooo MIN!!!

good rant harp
we'll see if any of our local papers print it!
snow and more snow, Harp, have about a foot here at the house.
I am hopping I get paid tommorow at a reasonable time so I can play santa with my neighbour. I don't know her but i would like to secret santa her to show that someone cares. her kids are 5-3-2 and at that ghastly age

ga 6/24 is ga plus anagram of what is on a fishing rod

thnx, Min
i hope she made it home okay, Harp. it's been snowing all day.
