still expecting more bad weather tho, so not sure if daughter will come here, or we will drive south 2 1/2 hours to her... have to make decision tomorrow, but don't really want to have to lug presents and food if I don't have to...
good for you jilli, wondered if you'd find a y word, I haven't yet
trying to be more flexible... oh, and my washer flooded tonight... hubby couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he'll have to call repairman... I had to laugh tonight, God I think is trying to teach me to be less rigid... the no washer thing worries me a bit, supposed to have guests for dinner NY Eve
My brother flew to Calgary last Thurs to watch his twin daughters play in a bball tourney, and now can't return till Christmas Day. But our family is doing our stuff Christmas Eve

kia ora family hugs happy babbling and OMG thank goodness ive finished work for the year
so all went well, of course
woot woot! * cheering *
OK, I got 232 in my alloted time! I think it will take me that long to figure out where they all go on Lickety's list! Anyway, good night all! I'll be back toorrow!
great going, kiwi!
all went very well! thanks!!
kia ora, kiwi
and glad that all went well and yall are home safe, mrp
nice to have a break kiwi! I am off till 27th Jan!
car...you don't have to figure out where they go, just load Licket's list with what you've found! (it's an auto-thing)
wtg car, good for you
car, you don't need to figure it out -- use "bulk add" if you don't have Expert
oh i go back on the 12th but im thinking it might take me all that time to do this grid lol
wtg, car., and g'night
DC hugs so good to see you not often our paths cross lately lol
Sure....now you tell me! I've been doing it manually for a week!
How do I do it? Load Lickety first?
I go back on the 5th if my boss doesn't keep emailing me between now and then! UGH!
sorry, car!!! Yell at Trif!!!
Pini, turn your email off!
Ok, I will!
Open --Lickety's Babble Clues -- (found at the bottom of this page) in another window. Next, copy the words you've found (under Babble - My Word List) and paste them in the large box at the bottom of the Lickety's List (Bulk Add). Press Add and your found words will be placed in their appropriate places on the list. Then you simply try and find the words that are still missing. Update your Lickety's List by repeating the copy / paste / Bulk Add.
Good gravy!
Sadly, she emails my personal account when she thinks things can't wait until I get back...
Dee - pe6 x 7
gravy and chips even!
Car, it's not as bad as it looks...do it once and you'll have it down!
so, how many of these 9's have been called??
mmmm
I'll try it now....
anyone have the count on the pe 8/9... ty hug!
go car go!
dont see any pe 8/9 dee
I don't, dee
not sure mrp I only have 3... ar, bu, re so far... looking for a pe now
I have no idea, mrp...I've found 2 of 6 tho
april called it at 12:12
thanks for that, will start hunting
there's pe8/50 and another pe8/45 (just look at Lickety)
ty jili!!
(haven't opened Lickety yet)
Ok, i did that and my words are there...all but one...it will save them or do I have to redo it when I log on again tomorrow?
car...it will save them for you!
OMG! That makes the game even MORE addicting! OK, so each time I add new words I cut and copy the whole list again?
pr 8 x 2
I don't know that I would do it every time...but, yes, that's how you get your new words over there. ;)
No, I figure I will keep going, hit a lull, add new words, etc.
...and it's usually easier if you cut/paste the whole list...it will only add what you didn't have filled before...
just passed half way, time for bed
be back in the morning, goodnight all
wtg flosey
so far it's been fun
OK, pini, will you be my sister now? Clearly Trifioso is witholding information...I don't know if I can continue to trust her!
ap9/66 follows from the ap8/50
well done, flosey! Sleep tight!
nite flosey sweet dreams
ty mrp nite flosey

She will be getting an early morning phone call from me........

We can be "secret" sisters...ok? * wink *
sp9/66 follows on from sp5 and sp6 before it
No, I guess she has enough on her plate these days! I'll let her sleep in! Anyway, thank you very much! You are a very good sister!
sorry, had to feed cats :) ony 6.5h late

I keep having trouble with my connection to Babble... is it only me?
i had that the other day, hugs, and had to reboot my machine to fix it.
no storm here, knock wood, as it's VERY cold
Holey Moley
I think I'll be skipping this monster
ruru, you're too far ahead to be askin' for clues!! ;)
sp9 when you fight someone, you sp** with them.... extend it to past tense then give it another ending for the 9
yah thats pretty much what i said sam lol
oh, you can do it, samantha...
we've had our share of storms lately
Oh I know I *can*, I'm just . . . not. lol
the other sp9 comes off the 'fast' pluralled word before it
sam watch this first it will help lol
http://tinyurl.com/7amauh
When I said it in my head, Gruvie, it was a tad more profane
ty mrp that is all the 9's: ap, ar, bu, re, sp x 2
i have to go for a bit... see you soon :)
got it thanks mr. p. 300 down
lol sam so was mine
thanks for that, mrp

or more so
ty for other SP9, mrp!
wow, cats MUCH calmer now that fed
got the fast one, need the other sp9
* sigh * I'm afraid I don't remember all of the grammar terms...
Gruvie, that just cracked me up!
...but I'll keep working on them...
I am sure I am missing some, but here are my 8's: ap, ar x 2; pe x 2, pr x 2, ra x 2, re, sp, sw, tr, wr

that's right, the colder side of the lakes
*eyes* oh maybe sulking is worth it if it gets butter cookies and tea!
I love a good sulk!!
* takes back blanket *
sulking gets me chocolate
our weathermen can't figure out what to forecast; at first said it would be up to 50 by Sat; now dropped it back to 30's and snow the next few days again, turning to sleet and rain... hate that folks will be traveling in that. North of us on Friday there was a 100 car pileup and one person died; then a second smaller pileup and 4 died...
and the 2am crash??
I think I've locked up! :(
it's about 8F/-13C here now. high here to be about 20F/-6c if we're lucky. That's VERY cold for here. Toasty still compared to up North though.

there was a big apt fire just north of us tonight..whole thing burned to the ground...firefighters had a tough time in the cold...and now 200 people are out of a home right before x-mas..very sad
g'night, pini, sleep well
how awful, dart, i hope everyone is safe
man... dc... my brain is dead & can't remember... one was up toward Chicago, thot it was on toll road; other was also up that direction, not on toll road
nobody died :)
aww so very sad dart
oh, up that way. my brain had you in NC, not IL :">
that is a miracle
that's good news, dart, amid the ruin
you're scaring me with all this talk of bad roads -- my whole family is coming here tomorrow and there has been a lot of snow
lol I wish DC... we are in IN about 2.5 hours s.e. of chicago
jili, I think this was because of ice and no visibility... also involved huge semis (probably driving too fast for conditions)
jill, friends of mine just drove from SFO to North Bend, OR along US 101 w/out incident
woohoo halfway for me
oh, ok, dee, alon 65 then?
wtg, kiwi!
can't remember road number...
:) all good, i navigate by number, a legacy of growing up in VA, where the roads were all numbered, but only named in most of the state in 1996
I hope all will be well here on our narrow winding hilly roads -- thanks, dc, for the attempt at comfort!

heh, ata
i can't have malt, so beer is out, though i'm sure it's delish, dee
I think you could use soups like golden mushroom, cream of celery; kitchen bouquet and thicken with cornstarch... would get similar results
i like cream of celery
me tooo
I had cream of dill pickle soup at a restaurant recently... it was wonderful
phantom perspire for me
hmmm have never heard of that hug; sounds interesting
dill or sweet pickle
i had a terrific cream of corn and asparagus a few weeks back at the local diner.
I had never heard of it either... but thought I'd give it a go... dill pickle
have you ever tried cream of lemon soup? very very tasty
I love deepfried pickles or in light tempura; would never have thot of soup
oh yes, cream and lemon go together in *anything*
lemon risotto made wth lemon and cream and parmesan is blissful
never heard of deep fried pickles, Dee
i must get a good photo of the kitten's eyes sometime they're deep green around pupil, and and a dull yellow around the outside
fried pickles are a happy :)
we also love green beans in a tempura batter; served with wasabi mayo
prepared like you would zucchini hug... really delicious
Aaaargh! Just logged on. 405 words two days before Christmas!? Shurely shome mishtake.
I've had the beans before and the zucchini, gonna have to try the pickles too
it's not as bad as it looks, sally, and good morning to you
Sorry - good morning one and all. I suppose with a lot of words they tend to be easier ones, with only a few they are devils to find!
Dee - I have re6 x 10 and re7 x 7
ty hug; you are ahead of me on r's... was working on p's
I have one of them greyed
wtg
you know me, I always save the dreaded r's till last LOL
165 to go, going back to bed for 1/2 an hour before perambulating the mutt
actually, I was just trying to find the ones you had called earlier
njoy, ata :)
neat, glad it was a good start!
i'm slowing down with 146 to go
pr 8 x 3
i have 2 of them so fare.
er, far
my last one was a monkey
bu6 x 7, bu7 x 3, bu8 and bu9
that was a very visually interesting Johnnie Walker ad. And btw, Walker Blue, though pricey, is quite lovely.
finally found the bu8 and bu9, those were not easy for me at all.
re 6 x 11
de6 x 4
agreed dc
thanks Dee
and my D's are greyed
es6 x 3
woo-hoo, dee :)
yw
ur6 and 7
ty, hugs
the wise one has asked a question "what is the morning of christmas eve called?"
oh no i just realized how many words there are
i have us*s and ut*3 and ur*2, what am i missing
well, xmas eve is holdover from when days were reckoned as startin at sunset, and the eve was the dark part of the day. One stayed up and celebrated through the eve on holy days back then.
I have ur x 2; us x 3 and ut x 3... can't find the last one
ut x 4
ty, hugs, i'lll share if i find it :)
are you missing female part?
ah, thanks dcs, will give her that piece of info. she wanted to know why all movies about xmas eve are in the evening
indeed, complete with the latin plural, ty dee
thanks Dee - I wasn't looking that way
yw
ty for the es 6... couldn't find that one
Halloween - All Hallow's Eve is the same, though All Hallows was the pagan festival coopted by The Church, but we kept the old name, just like Easter.
i have a plural es6, is there an other?
es 6/21... ends in word looking like Holy Sp...
firewords
es6 de corps, ty dee
congrats, dart!!! VWD
other es 6/21 has to do with animals in heat
wtg dart... still 68 left here
congrats dart
there are 3*es6 then?
go volley go :)
yes dc
went fast till last 98
ty, dee that greyed an E or me :)
I think I'll hit the list for the remainder of my PRST''s
334 down... 71 to go
why am i so awake at 4AM today
ditto that dc
thinking same hug
the pot of coffee I drank today is probably not helping
i'm thinking the 2 iced teas are the culprit on my side
not conducive to sleepiness lol
I think it was the 2 hr nap I had after dinner
oops, 3 iced teas
pasta knocks me out like I took a sedative
and this was sitting up while watching TV
lol been there... done that many times :)
my daughter teases me so much about it but I just can't help it
going to run nite all
sleep well, dart
g'nite dart... pleasant dreams
about pasta, the more aldente it is, the lower it's glycemic index
gn dart!
interesting dc didn't know that
bye dc hug volley pooof
pizza does same thing to me hug
opt for thin crust, and ample toppings, again, should be fewer problems on that count
I have come to love thin crispy crust with pineapple, little bit of ham or canadian bacon and barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce
i'm a fan of garlicky white sauces on pizza
I've never tried that, but my daughter loves chicken alfredo pizza w/ thin crust
i think i will leave my last 128 for after i rest, as i'm not doing well with finding, so i know i'm tired
odd ru 7/52 word
so good to see you dc; sleep well
ty, and good night to you, and may you sleep soon yourself
thx!
g'night dc... rest well
I think I'll finish off tomorrow. g'nite Dee, sweet dreams
ty u 2 hug!!!
aper
goood Morning! what a Huuuge grid (Yes I know there have been bigger)
morning all. Out of bed too late, very little time today... I guess I should have known, giggle.
Hello, you who is in grid today!
oh wow, am I? That rocks. I will be sp6/21 today.
tude
oops.
just add a vowel at the start, grin
Yes, sp 6, 21 its your grid today!!!!
but I swear I have not been asked about this grid, red, or I would have asked for a smaller one today, lol.
77 s's???!!! I'll never finish!!!
:) Yes, well... at least I sort of have the day off work.
hey spanner :) It is like huge knitwork though. One stitch at a time will get us there.
sort of? As in, you are there but don't have much to do?
There are more than 77 s's, spanner :-(
i have only been here 30 min nd I have 175,
Oh no, I am not there, but I have some things to do, namely appointments, and buy my stupid secret santa giftee.
ah, ok! Other work.
I have 15 minutes to spare now, but at least that gives me some hope - (I am useless at this game, but I love it!!)
nobody is useless at this game. We all find words. The silly notion you have to find all was not an original part of the game and has grown into ridiculous proportions. This game must be enjoyed!
today how many words
today how many words
hear hear sp 6 21!!!!
phani it is indeed 405
phani, take a chair first. Errr 405.
sper
sper spear
Sprite you know how long I have been doing this, and I have ever only had fireworks once!!! Preaching to the converted honey. I enjoy the chat...
TY phani!!!
se s
:)
wtg spanner, to me you are a REAL player. For the right reasons, lol.
Oooh Sp 6, 21 I play for the rankings glory! I mean, everyone in my realworld cares howw I am ranked on a virtual game!
I never care if i dont finish, as long as I enjoy the ride, and I learn some thing new every day.
Now, before most Americans come on, can I please rant that it is a wee bit too cold for me here today.
roflololol red, I know, I know! You cannot show your face unless you are among the top, of course.
That explains why I live in a hole....LOL
:D
of course you can, red. *sends warm blanket and a good hot spiced wine*
Oh please, I heard the wind come of the bowl we have (A natural bowl of land) last night. Wheee. I guess this is from the north.
thanks!
rapt
hiya Birdee, and thanks
so much to say
Hi Babble.
Hi Babble
no problem for you, then, since you always have all the words, BabbleRabble! So good to see you.
no that bab is here I will stop complaining.
lol red.
I didn't mean to type that word in - sorry I did it again. I take some time in the penalty box everyday.
oh weird Meryl is not valid!
red - I am really cold too - but we still have our electricity on
Birdeee, be honest, you do it just because of the wonderful goodies we store in there :)
prest
no, just like that last time I chat and then forget to switchover -
lol I know, was just teasing you. Don't feel bad, it is a stupid thing in the setup of this site. The cursor should have been made to jump back to the Word window after posting in chat.
augghhhh - time for bed I guess although this one is fun "switches back to word entry box now"
Good evening everyone
sleep well, Birdeee!
hi lyn!
Well I gotta go. BBL, happy babbling all#
Have a grand day, spanner
bye Spanner
oh dear I found a 9 all of a sudden. Without working hard, I mean. And 2x8 to go with it. How nice.
not an re is it?
no, not a re
good! I don't have to find another re8 in the set then
and I know to go look for one, lol
re's are never the easiest to find for me. Or, to be more precise, I can find them very easily. Lots of them. Most not known by enable though.
was it the ar one that I just found then?
that was the one!
one of the things about enable that I really don't like, is its partiality on 'the one doing it' words. I mean, the person putting in all the channels on my remote before I buy the darn thing, is.... right. And plural. But no way enable will let me have them.
an re & the dog Sp**** ? with a double tea it takes
ohhhh ok that is a consolation, thanks lyn!
However it won't take the person who spreads the bu6.27!
no, and believe me I tried to get it in, lol.
which, I now see, puts me into the sin bin, sigh.
I apologise
lol, thanks!
Good day all... eyes not quite open--does that say 405???
let me put it to you gently, reparteena. It is only 100 today. Times 4. Plus 5.
hi Repartee
OMG say it aint so :(
Hey sprite, lynxxx
it ain't so. (sorry to be lieing)
but take heart - nearly a quarter of them are S's (is that good!?)
lol
lyn, I found another 9! Among those quarter you just named, lol.
405! OMG
not just yours, lil*monkey. All our gods must have been working together on this, lol.
I've been so busy... was hoping for a nice little "75" grid
BabbleRabble, you are frightfully quiet! I was only joking about having all the words, sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way.
Ahhh I had to take a nap. I am at 210 left. which I think means I essentially have one other grid to solve.
red, you pessimist! It means you already solved a full grid!
If I as a ee bit warmer, I might be able to feel more positive.
Hi Lil - where have you been!
hello Red
Yay - got the sp9 - thanks Sp****
Hi Now sunning out door for appointments.
lol lyn, yvw, I was just thinking: "the most dyslectic Vincent song" would be a fun clue.
ok, must tear myself away from this grid and chat. Too much to do today. Hope to be back later. Have fun all :)
Hi everybody, I hav been so busy... all kinds of life-changing stuff going on here.
bye Sp****, enjoy your day
bye sprite; hey monkey..!
I am ze greeeat seagull rescuer!
oh-oh...PB--with a present??
Hobbit grabbed the seagull and you said DROP IT ?
yep! and took it to the vet to be looked after
LilM - all good I hope?
well..... not really, but I am going to make lemonade so to speak.
nope - no idea what making lemonade means
when life hands you lemons, make lemonade
when life gives you lemons, make lemonade
to make the best of the current situtation
hello all
Mr. Monkey and I are splitting up, so I wil take this opportunity to move somewhere else and find a great new job
Right! of course I know that! sorry
sorry to hear that monkey

brb
hey all, awake again due to da4 gallbladder. at least they are removing it in two weeks
back
hi Smiles, not good! - but good to see you here anyway
ty lynxxx
surgeons just told me monday it looks bad enough to remove soon. so they found some space on the books for me
grayed out the Y and the i!!
me too peri
:-)
they have to do it open though, cuz i've had a bunch of belly surg already. five days in hosp :(
but i got the surgeon who opped on me last yr and he is great
it's always nice when you trust the surgeon!
yeah, cuz a lot of them are sh4s
oh yes
Good to hear you have a great team on your side Smiles
and you don't really get to choose with the VA
but it's free
How is your sis Ata?
free is good
just about still alive!
what is wrong with her, ata
free is very good since i have no other insurane
insurance, i mean
what isn't? lol. she has some strange blood disorder + crohn's = all sorts of strange and weird problems to do with wound healing and osteomyelitis and bone rejection etc etc etc
oh, that sux. hope she is doing ok. crohn's is no joke
we have a friend who has it and he just had to go to hosp
her surgical team are still deciding whether to chop her arm off or not. They can't decide *facepalm*
you mean sew her hand to her face
That sounds as bad as MRP Ata - is it at all similar?
kind of, same result different cause, but sister has it all over her body
what's mrp?
mrp (mrpresident) is one of our favorite babblers
haha
oh, you mean he has it too
mrp is a she
soprry
i mean, sorry
Poor cow (said in the most sympathetic way of course) - I hope they can find some sort of cure for her soon, keep my fingers crossed
no cure. they don't even know what's wrong with her. She's just slowly dying.
man, makes my problem look very small in comparison. at least they can fix it
how long has your sister had these problems, Ata, my heart goes out to her
i'm sorry, ata. she must be in pain
for about17 years now, she's just getting slowly worse and worse
Ata is your sister older or younger than you
what rotten luck, Ata
a year older
are you very close?
yes, my problems look very small in comparison
wow the grid is huge! how is it all?
not bad, lynn
very
oh, man--my heart goes out to both of you
Hi Lynn - lots of ending so OK
it sounds awful - but we're all so used to it by now, it's just normal

hi there FM
I rescued a gull!
if I can gather up enough energy may venture out today, will not be as cold and windy as yesterday
found 225 words so far
Hithere :)) brill grid, one of the most friendliest biggies I think we have ever had.
you did, Ata?
Goodnesss, do telll ..
i got 221
yep, the poor babe is at the vets now being looked after
aww
smiles, do you have all the big words?
good going smileso What was wrong with gull Ata?
no, 4 8's, 2 9's
goodmorning FM
long way to go
we just came across him/her tucked up on the beach not moving, looking round but not moving around, even when Hobbit went right up to it. So I wrapped it up in my scarf - it was really cold - and walked allll the way back along the beach with it and drove it to the vets. They *think* it is just shocked for some reason that they can't tell, and hope they'll be able to let it go back on the beach tomorrow, but they are keeping it overnight and x-raying it etc
Lynxxx hello and felicitations ;)
i'm glad i found this game. it'll pass the time in the hosp
how kind of you to do that, Ata
I *love* my vets, they take as much care with a random seagull picked up from the beach as a pampered pooch that they gets lots of money from
wtg Ata
180 left, time for breakfast, bbl, happy babbling
wtg nice vets really! they get the fun of looking after a hopefully increasing well (and therefore snappy and irritable) gull!
Bye pe4,nice to bump into you
you and dale would really like each other, ata. he loves animals of all kinds
he's like the horse whisperer or something
i love my kitties, and we are thinking about a chihuahua
awwwww. I just refuse to leave an injured bird there to get snapped at by dogs and foxes and whatever. LOL this gull was so nice with me, and as soon as I gave it to the vet nurse, it snapped at her lol
Is that you or he in your icon pic smileso?
it's me. we have one on the same bench together, i have to put that one in
kitties are the *best*
just a couple of bear guys
lol
his beard is even more impressive than mine
Ata I borrowed quite an amount of your smugitude earlier hope you don't mind
i love my man!!!!
beards are good
*gasp* you did? what did you do?
it only took forty yrs to find him
but you did
yup
*grin finished the grid and then went out and bought ingredients for cookie making :) Sometimes it it worth waiting for the right one smileso
woohoooo
and i don't give a hoot about all those homophobes out there. if we want to kiss in wal-mart, we do
wow! go you!
absolutely!
there are certain things one shouldn't do in public lol, but that applies to all people!
i'm just glad he sticks around with sick ol' me
ahh ain't love grand!
good morning, all. I made it through yesterday fairly well.
well, we don't do the nasty or anything. we are quite chaste in public
do I get my smug back with gull rescue, FM?
just a peck or a hug
hi Angel
Oh yes good point ata *dusts it down and hands it back on a silver platter* Well done Angel
and so you should!!
and do it more if anyone looks grumpy
Thanks for emails that file last night btw - facinating to see the detail, so intricate
:) I'm just working up to starting the colouring. eeeep!
just because you have finished FM doesn't mean you can use words that are in the grid! PS Congratulations!
goodness, fm, good for you for finishing
Oh rats, have I used a word? off to the PB with me then
Damn I did it again!
*sticks tape over mouth*
ha!! funny, talking of animal welfare, 4 people have finally been charged with being psychos in the name of animal welfare and targeting Huntingdon Life Sciences - do you rememer that FM, when they dug up that lady's grave and stol her remains>
Yes I do remember that
amazing what ppl will do the name of "animal welfare"
It was one action waaayyyyy too far
ohhhhh yes
protest, fine, throw eggs, fine, steal people's remains, NOT fine!
So I am going to bake choc chip, cranberry and orange, ginger and lemon and pecan and mixed spice cookies today oh and one of my apple fruit cakes.
omg!! are you opening a cookie shop??!
one thing is certain...with a grid this size, even typos are likely to count!
Wow! I am suitably impressed...do you want my address now or later FM?
LOL the cookies are freezer cookies, so will actually cook a small batch and freeze the rest (they are for my Mum and Dad)
Just thought as they are elderly they can take a selection out and cook as the fancy them
cranberry and orange sounds sooooo good
what a wonderful idea!
Lynxxx I'll make sure to leave some in the PB :)
If there had been a n or an o in the grid today it would have been a truly enormous one!
gull rescue pics in my flickr!
Love that you happened to have a colour co-ordinated blankie for the gull
lol yes. I think the gull liked the scarf. he was sooo cold sitting on the beach
still quite impressed how good HObbit was, she wasn't sure about me bringing the bird back to the car, but she didn't kick up a huge fuss
Cripes, just got an email from a US friend who had to fly from Algiers to Frankfurt to Washington for a meeting then to Houston (pick up wife) and on to Caracas, he must be exhausted!
goodness!!!
Thats what I tought but didn't use quite those words ;)
good morning Babblers :)
gotta go, see ya later babblers
Bye smiles, nice to chat.
byeeee!hiiiii!
bye bye smiels
hi Nono. Bye Smiles - look after yourself
Hey Nono
huge grid today, does Dr. God not know how pressed we are for time
its not an evil grid though
(so far)
Considering it's size it runs quite well, add at least 3 endings to every word to type and you'll be done in no time (apart from a few strange words to keep us guessing).
so far it's going fast have over 100 words in about 15 minutes
My goodness! 405 ... is this a Christmas present or what?
not sure Merk :)
lots of plurals and past tense
Time for me to leave BabbleLand, toodles for now and Happy Babbling!
bye dear! have fun cookieing!
bye bye FM
bye FM, have fun

crossy looks at the qword total and thinks he will need a christmas miracle to finish this big grid off:(
cross, just do 2 complete grids today and you will be done ;)
lol what if its been 4 months since ive finished 1?
nothing to it, crossy, as long as you had fun playing!
and just keep adding at least 2 or 3 endings to all the words you find and all will be well. Hello BabbleLand :)
hi FMitch :)
sp6/21 Hi there ;)
hi all hhi fm
hi TOwl :)
yay TO! and hugs to crossy
howdy fm!!))) (((())))
lol and your right about every possible word ending:)
I wish you would tell your people croosy to get their webcam to view a different location occasionally - tell them the world is viewing their site *grin*
i must say...my yogurt is just NOT doing it for me today...
let me hunt for a different cam fm
Hi TO!
but there are only 4 and 1 is out of order and one was buried yesterday:/
No worries crossy
sp6/21 - I can imagine you gliding through todays grid with increasing speed. Did you have a late start, unusual to see you here at this time.
to the PB, with you, FM!
yes late start my dear..was wrapping till 1 a.m
I overslept, did a little more than half which indeed went pretty fast, then had to go to the shops and a birthday of a very dear friend. Just got back for a few more. Then a friend of my daughter will come to stay and I will have to cook :)
Hells bells that is my third time to the PB today :(
small wonder with 400+ PB words, FM ;)
at least its the holidays -- im sure the decorations are gorgeous, and im sure there are all kinds of yummies in there!
lol sorry sprite,thought she was talking to me;/
darn..i see why now...crossy trudges off to the pb
I am in today's grid, crossy. I am the babbler temporarily known as sp6/21 (BTKAS)
awe crossy - wrapping lots of lovely goodies I bet. Did you get the digital book thing I remember seening chat about some while ago?
yaaa! there is jamacian spiced rum and eggs nog in the pb!
yes fm we got it on the 19th:))))
digital book thing? like the Kindle on amazon.com?
Oh brill - that will be so good for your beloved!
the new sony 700 reader eva
unfortunatly the kindle is only good for U.S residents eva
similar device, no?
yes
yes indeed eva
it is one amazing machine!!!
i asked for the Kindle for christmas. :)
my better have was able for the first time in ten years to read a book:))
half even
oh cross that is so wonderful!
the reader has a touch screen and night light for reading in the dark eva;0
There you go - the best testemonial.
is it very light in weight?
one of the reason is chose it was no teenie tiny keyboard for my wife to fight with
it weighs same as a softcover book sprite
that is just brilliant. I am very happy for your love!
i really hope i get mine -- i cant wait!
and i can put 2500 books on the thing as well as pictures and her whole music library:)
they are amazing eva;)))
Holy Moly! 405 words!
after taxes came to $462.00 but was worth every penny wanthing my kitten read her favorite books again:)
less than 100 words to go. I may yet survive the grid.
music too?? wow I can see I will have to remember that for Mum who is getting frail and elderly
*hugs crossy*
hi k21, quite a few huh
only problem is now i want one for my birthday;)
crossy did you get the email I sent last week, not badgering just wanted to know if it had been delivered or spammed.
Angel - you are a trooper you too will achieve fireworks :)
yes fm and ty.gonna get my boy to make up a cute one in return:) been crazy busy:/
so far it hasn't been a tough grid, just big.
((crossy))
Anyway on that happy note I must away back to the kitchen where I am cooking up a cookie fest!
I'll be right over, FM!

have a grand day and enjoy the cooking
thats south base fm right next door:)
i already brought my "leftover" cookies to work today. :)
someone say cookies?
you must be a popular girl today at work, EvaN
Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin cookies, Apple Spice Rugelach, and Cranberry Ginger cookies
apple spice? APPLE SPICE???
Extra cookies being done for the PB of course *poof*
HI again. I may just disappear of the planet my internet is being a giant pain
have at em, SP6!
am a total sucker for apple spice, EvaN! Thanks :) They are lovely.
great now my cat is snoring
i hafta say, they are my least favorite of the bunch, but i think that may just be because they so much more of a pain in the arse to make...heh
hehehe they are just great. The cranberry ginger too!
SOMEONE SAY APPLE SPICE COOKIES?
cranberry ginger were *supposed* to be Cranberry-Orange with ginger, but alas, i have no grater with which to accumulate the orange peel! hence, they are orange-free
crossy hold out his plate _________/
hehehe crossy, I took them all, but for you I make an exception. Here, have half.
COOOOOOKIESSSSSS!
lol
can I haz a cookie
cookies for all and big glasses of milk!
sure lady, just no apple spice ones.
Course not a Crossy guts them all
only if the milk is ice and icecold, crossy! Otherwise I prefer tea.
well, if we are going to refer to my baked goods, we really should refer to them by their proper name: Chookies
Main Entry: chook·ie Variant(s): or chooky \chu̇-kē\ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural chook·ies Etymology: Dutch koekje, diminutive of koek cake Definition: a cookie that has surpassed a certain level of awesomocity, so as to be dubbed a chookie.
the holy church guy pr word that is in the grid... the dutch form is there too! Same word with -er added. Not valid of course, but a big dutch word to be in a grid.
a chookie??mmmmm
ohhhhhh EvaN that is fun!
chookie is a perfect word
thats what Chris + i call really yummy, soft, chewy cookies: chookies. :)
ok i have lost the plot. This frid is fuge
*hands lady a plot*
i want peanut butter cookies with butterscotch chips:))
Can I say Repressed that is all
Sprite I am so tired. Thank you for the plot
try and take it easy, lady. I know the feeling. Day is only halfway and there is still so much I have to do today, and not a bit of energy left. I am enjoying my babble time now, hoping to recharge my battery a bit.
I shopped for 12 hours It was heaps of fun
same here 6/21;)
sp 6/21 that is
i can see im going to be in the pb a lot today....
*hugs crossy* Here's a jolt of extra energy, cross, from across the miles :)
mmm tingly hugs:))))
i hereby declare "sprite" a non-PB word for today!
lol EvaN!
I hereby declare all non words real
i will second that
Just finished the re's. Need a vacation. Which resort spa are we using today???\n arete
there is a portal in the sin bin, inge, that gives access to a spa of choice.
Sprite I think I am a little shaken up by the horrid 3 car accident I saw tonight. No one was hurt everyone was fine but still nasty
has anybody finished all the R words?
im stayed at the chookie spa. :)
*holds lady and sends her calming vibes* Works the same for me, lady. We people with overactive tendrils just have to learn to cope.
Thank you Sprite. I hugged the b.f so tight when he got home and told him I was so glad he was home safe as people are really really impatient at this time of year
they most certainly are. I wish I could stay in.
I have to go shopping AGAIN tommorow
my love will do the shopping tomorrow, thank God. He would do it always if I wanted him to, but I often realise I would get outdoor phobia if I would let him. Sometimes when I get out of the house, the world seems so big and scary.
OH bless him. Its ok Sprite this time of year is enough to make non agoraphobics into phobics.
Hi everyone. Been popping in and out, doing the odd 100 words here and there :-)
HI Sally
my kids saved my ass today. I almost flipped in the mall and they told me to get back to the car and wait for them there. Pathetic mum am I, huh.
hi Sally, it is fun isn't it :)
I can't see straight there is so many letters I dispissed
Actually, yes. My first thought was, "on no!". But when you have one, you get on a roll.
SPrite THAT is not PATHETIC. Your kids are friggen great. You tried you really did try for that HUGE cookie points
yes it is that kind of grid. One word brings on a series. Kind of rewarding and fun :)
Pathetic is not trying. I HATE going out there this time of year. Everyone is rude and impatient
People get so STRESSED over Christmas.
And nice words too sp----
well I always try. Guess I'll have another cookie then :) And thanks lady.
AND IF you say your PATHETIC again im going to mentally SLAP you
they do, Sally. I just saw someone pushing 2 shopping carts through the store, both loaded to bulging at the seams.
Sally I don't care about the cost of gifts. I gave my b.fs Grandma home made shortbread and lemon butter. I am going to give home made mini puddings dipped in chocolate and shortbread to 2 other friends
chookie, sprite. CHOOKIE.
I earned another chookie even??? EvaN, you're the best!
Do you know what Grandma (a woman of 80ish) did with said shortbread
We stopped doing the big Christmas some years ago - and the relief! We don't buy each other presents, we have a nice meal, light the log fire and watch DVDs. It's wonderful.
home made shortbread, man, you can give that to me anytime. Much better than bought and expensive presents.
No herin.
she protected it from Granddad?
lol
Grandma actually teased her husband and her sister. She held one out and said '' Here do you want it'' then ate it
FOUR HUNDRED AND FIVE?
rofl!
Sally, that sounds wonderful. We do kind of the same thing. No presents is quite common in Holland, because we have Sinterklaas. But a light meal, yes, and some peace and quiet and cosiness.
Might we add these two still act like newly weds after 60 years. He was smacking her on the bottom when she leant over
awww that is so cute, lady
*giggles* Errr yes harpjane.
To all of my Babble friends, in the spirit of the season, I'd just like to say a heartfelt... BAH HUMBUG!
Breath Harp
The only people I buy for is my son, his wife and my new grandson. And they are simple gifts.
yay Judi!
so is it fun or a pain?
HI Judi
It's a fun grid
a lot of fun, harpjane. Not a tough grid, just a big one.
Just a BIG one.
Snap sprite
snap Sally :)
Whoops!
I have this really simple recipe for pudding truffles. You get a small can of pudding and a splash of rum to make it stick. Then dip in melted dark choc then cool in fridge
lol
Sulks. Why isn't my name in the grid?
it will be some day, Sally, promise
A can of pudding? Do you mean like a tinned Christmas pudding?
mine was in a few days ago
sounds good lady
Yes
Sounds very rich!
We have Big Sister tinned pudding.
Not if you make teaspoon sized balls
I have a big sister, but I've never thought of her as a tinned pudding :-)
first complete pass through the grid is done, with 54 words to go.
that is why you are still alive, Sally, lol
I also home make shortbread and lemon butter (we have a tree outside and its not co operating) I would also like to know why this grid size didn't appear on the weekend when i was not doing anything
My sister wouldn't say boo to a goose!
good gravy Well done Angel
I also make shortbread, and home-made cakes and biscuits (cookies to the furriners).
I have one word left and it is an R7. Anyone finished the Rs or has a weird R7 for me?
I've finished the rs. Hang on.
Its the best present. i am also going to secret santa my neighbour
I had my very first shortbread this week, sent to us by American friends. It was sooo lovely.
I make the traditional type. Granny Rose's hubby thinks its the best thing
I have ra7 x 1, re7 x 7.
THat is lovely sprite
I am a little sad that our lemon tree failed us this Christmas
ru 7/52
would you be willing to share the recipe, lady? I'd love to learn to make them!
359 to go....
ra 7/36, re 7 x 7, ru 7/52
thanks BabbleRabble. Common or weird word?
weird
thanks Sally, it is the ru7 I am missing.
Um can I email it to you? Its kind of a secret.
*starts hunting*
I'd love you to, lady!
impolites and ta
The first part of the ru is common, add a preposition
OK Will do maybe Christmas AM when i am silent and not busy as all heck
lady, anytime will be fine, just when it suits you.
Or maybe Saturday (after boxing day)
someone say lemon cookies?
no Cross I said Lemon butter
fireworks, thanks to BabbleRabble and Sally. Now that is quite a weird word!
Yup. I had to look it up.
yaa for sprite! 21 gun salute for you! crossy hold up mistletoe....
BRB, off to give chooks their evening nosh.
congrats, sprite
YAH SPRITEE
looked it up, it is: 'An uncivil, turbulent fellow'. Etymology unclear, lol, yes I bet it is.
I assume we're giving everyone a pass on use of the bu6/7 words - seeing as how the subject seems to be cookies, puddings and shortbreads.
bye Sally
oops...my bad judi:/
there is even a 9 there, Judi
rd
To add insult to injury our lemon tree is broken and not producing lemons the weather has been terrible for them to grow
thanks all, finished just in time before my daughter's friend will arrive. Have lots of fun, all of you, and thanks for the great chat.
tc sprite :) (())
lol i thought lemon tress were only in fairy tales....
be well, sprite
wite
bye spr6
crud
darn
Have fun Sprite
*hugs crossy right back* You too, BabbleRabble.

herin...i have rum and eggs nog in the pb......
Kiwis?
Can't have the nog it has milk and im fairly sure soy nog is poo
another thing that doesn't grow very well in montana, herin....
The bird or the fruit?
All nog is poo, herin.
Kiwi fruit and the bird both exist
and in fact it is actually Chinese fruit not kiwi
no i loves the nog
Nog makes me gag.
Judi not all nog is poo there is one made locally here that is so rich and thick almost like a milk shake
home made nog is good
crossy holds on the milk products and mulls the spiced rum for herin;)
*gagging*

Yeah Kristine!
later Krist
abso-bloody-lutely! last case was on the table for 6 hours
nm, got it
granny, our icons are similar
accident or other?
so i see bichon
patient apparently sneezed, put her neck out and developed a monster of a headache. then some bright spark decided to do a lumbar puncture on her, 'cos they thought she had menengitis
Oh granny...!
Oops. sounds absoloutely horrid Granny.
wow that is um CRAP. Is she ok?
doesnt sound like meneigitis to me, BUT...i am only a nurseeee....
she then became septic, was transferred to us, had a laminectomy, then washouts on both knees and a wrist
what is that ?
granny, not good. and they had a not very aseptic lp?
now in ICU, well duh, we're hoping she will make it through what's left of the night.
what's a washout on wrists and knees?
the surgeon goes into each joint with arthroscopes and simply flushes all the pus etc out.
7918 points today. I'm out the door to work in the office...back later tonight to help clue if I can.
(inserts cuss words) pray that she will pull through and reminds my self to be careful when I sneeze next time
Best wishes Angel
Oh, granny, that just sounds miserable. Poor thing. Hope she pulls through.
* grin and laughing * herin, and all of you, if you do do something similar, please think very carefully before you sign that consent
granny, and all this started with a sneeze?
so what do you think really happened to her other than the sneeze and headache (sans the medical intervention)??
I thought that there was a list of Symptoms with M other than a head ache
SOme wierd stuff can happen herin. i met a patient who was paralyzed after getting hit on the back of the neck with, of all things, a stuffed animal.
yes annie, and babs who knows! i really am not at liberty to make that call, all i can say, is, please be very careful .
Rose the reason I say that is the other night, himself was in the shower and im vacuuming and I sneezed and he stuck his head out as he was worried
whew, 99 left and i can't believe "dudette" isn't a word
good evening all..kalispera
HI ORANGE

*despatches a couplle of cabana boys over to rose
i have just greyed all the single-digit boxes, huzzah!
go annie!
I am awake after running about Chaddy like a friggen nut. THEN on the way home I saw a really nasty 3 car pile up. No one hurt but still. Then I get in himself isn't back and I jumped him before he even got to the door with a HUGE hug and told him I am so worried about him driving out there with all these idiots on the rude
oooh yeah, baby, you got that right. do i have to wake himself, or can i do this on my own?
road being rude
thanks, red...Bobby is looking forward to it very much
can you both get there in the weather..
herin, the roads are treacherous (sp?) this time of year
Hi Cad
"rude" is much more applicable this time of year, herin.
oi with the blatant wordage
red hows things with you? Hope all is well?
red, I wont have problem driving there. It is supposed to be in the 40"s on Thursday
i am pretty good. you fm???
I'm going to pop off for a bit and read the paper. Maybe have a cookie/bisquit. Damn you all and your talk of shortbread!
Its true. Gosh knows what happened but one car was smashed in at the front and two were across the road into each other. They were damn lucky they walked away unhert
Glad to hear that red - doing OK ta :)
Judi, read only the good news...LOL
shoving cookies and coffee down my throat..
Sorry hursh. I use the lame excuse of its 319am and i can't think
I am so suggestable..
Hi Ru and later Judi
herin, get some sleep
what are you doing up?
I should
nothing to say mary?
ru ru getting coffee and buscuit?
mary, mary, quite contrary how does your garden grow?
Hi Mary :-)
has anyone the last su word the 6/21 after the most positive
sorry, good morning, it's snowing here again, thanks to torgone yesterday I am a pro and have an icon, I am so happy
yep.. yum
yay mary!
YAh Mary. welcom. now you need a flag. Torg is a wonderful man
Mary....welcome to babble land as a pro
The last su word - think Indian widows
yes bichon, it is the old custom in india of the wife throwing herself on the husband's funeral pyre to burn alive. blech.
Door. brb
bichon, someone who burns themselves to death?
sorry, don't think I know the word
Took me all day to figure it out as I am not a computer geek. Now I will have to find out how to get a flag, another day wasted with over 400 words today
it really is appalling when you think of all the horrible things people have thought of to do over the years.
su + double consonant + double vowel
Mary its not a day wasted its a day relaxed
ta
well said, herin
Yes Burning us witches was one
that worked, ty granny rose and all the other funeral pyer experts
*pyre
yw bichon
don't think I've ever heard of the word used in the US
tar and feathers...lynching..thinking of all the pleasant things people do to each other
No many do it again re words today..?
hi
hi red
i've never forgotten the word, cause once i heard of it, well, it was rather hard to get out of my head
I have the ''mark '' that would have condemned me to burn as a witch
oooh I just heard an interesting discussion of the last American Lyniching, which apparently happened in the 1980's
In America.. many women would throw extra wood on the pyre..
Hi foo.
but not themselves..
hello
What mark is that herin?
hi red
Hi FOOEY
matthew sheppard was more recent than that, wasn't he?
Ruru hen do you get your new dog?
hi herin
Thought it was a third nipple :-)
in the summer red
hello fooey
yes hursh, but wasnt he attached to barbed wire?
17 re do it again words I think red
Moles I have been told a double mark on the left side breast like a snake mark (about one finger across)
long time to get ready...
hi annie
ugh, i don't know
That was Mathew Shepard was it not?
ruru Hi there :)
yeah.. but this one will be worth waiting for.
so technically not a lycnh but a hate crime.
hello FM good morning
hi fm
teulu is starting to be that ay, but...I am not patient with him...
going to google matthew shepard
so where was the last lynching in USA?
Hi Fooey
he is right here watching me babble one handed...
the body to see whether a mole was present that might be a telltale sign of consort with demons
According to PRI it was somewheres int eh SOuth, I cant remember.
Who's going to look after him whilst you are away ruru?
Consorting with demons sounds quite normal at this time of year.
I was rather shocked by the whole thing.
I wll be back in time to play with the pups..
I thus would have been considered a witch
visiting family sally?
http://tinyurl.com/7p8so4 this is the article
so many politicians in US worth hanging.. wonder why that never happens?
Now red. Splutter!
Well sally, some people feel that way!
i do not approve of murder
True Red. Isn't this the time of year with most suicides?
hi hurshy
I am a little unsure on that.
not murder..hursh..just choking them for a little while
hi
hi lets chat
at least its consorting not coverting with demons.
Oven timer going off in the kitchen *poofs for now*
what does it look like we're doing?
what is coverting?
i read somewhere that the whole holiday-suicide rate thing is just a myth...
what we talking bout
The mans name was Michael Donald the lynching was in 1981
Bit chilly in Dec, prancing round the bonfire naked.
i think she means cavorting
We do see an increase in ill behaved people in the ER, but not all of them are really crazy they are just sad because their holiday turned out rather less than the commercials.
yes that too
hi\ashers
sorry i can't spell for crap
Hey now Sally its going to be 76 F here today...
thansk for the translation Hurshy...
hello am i talking to a a blank pecie of paper
*moves in with red* its a blustery 30 F here today!
76F. Sighs wistfully.

ah yes, we love you madly, knowing nothing about you but your screenname
COme on EvaN. It was freezing this morning but of course that as not actuality. It was 9.
Sorry ashers, we haven't even been introduced.
sorry hurshy
You know how formal we are in the UK.
HUrsh...you are feeding.
it just has that je ne sais quoi
:)
hello ashers...how many words have you found?
Hi pHae
Hi everyone!
so far5 iv just loged on
it was a lowly 18 F yesterday morning, when the bus decided to come early (i was walking down the hill to the bus stop when i watched it go by) so i had to walk the almost-mile to the metro station! *brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
never apologise for giving someone a golden opportunity for sarcasm
elcome to the gridder Phae.
help with the Y words?
hello phaeton
Evan that sticnks
Orange think of a Mongolian tent.
morning babbleland a big one today!
rhymes with pain(s), orangecat
what is the pe 6/33?
red -- so did i, once i got to the metro!
Orange Its a Mongolia hut
i've been monkeying around here for ages. :(
Eva!!!!
exsuse me hurshy your kinda mean
hi phae
Hi onxy.
i'm channeling house
Better get a shower.
thnx.. got them
hurshys not mean
I have to take a break...later
thankfully, that was yesterday...i got myself a nice bath last night. :)
Bye Annie.
Eva what a horrid start to the day Yesturday
bye annie
Ooh I may do a bath this afternoon, I am still recovering from flu or whatever.
bye annie
most definitely, herin. i made sure to get out there early this morning, in case he decided to come early again. it was only a single degree warmer, so i was going to be livid if he was on time, but thankfully my brilliance paid off + he was early yet again...
Chicken soup Red
Thanks herin. I have been using my cold all week as a reason to eat less.
THat is so darn not on.
It went zipping by the doctor this morning, but not so well at the nutritionist...
sadly, my bath last night wasnt as hot as i would have liked, but it was still nice + relaxing. :)
Ah well....one can always try.
Did you do fancy candles and music Eva??
Eva I have to be at the bus stop at the time it leaves the actually station first point. I am the second stop, about 10 min away and the darn bus always turns up late
Up early not late sorry
no candles, but i did have the radio on -- nothing decent playing, though...
holy cow, large grid today!
itson its true!!!! I was surprised.
HI its
i think the bus has been early this week because people have taken off for christmas -- fewer people = fewer stops = faster route!
but isn't there time points?
hey red & herin!
there are for the main stations, but between stations, they just stop whenever someone needs on or off...the the estimates they give for the stops are just that -- estimates
usually theyre there about the same time every day...
things people don't mention when they encourage everyone to switch to public transportation
Its I love your name
now thats frustrating. I used to ride the bus all the time in Ch Hill, as its free to all...
but I did run for it once in a while.
thanks herin! i just made it up. :)
usually, i just get there a few minutes early...but on freezing mornings, you dont want to stand out there too long in the cold!
Is that your puppy?
widdle buppy oogy woogy schmoogy
Oh lovely lovely puppy!
haha yes in the picture she is only 6 weeks, but now she is 6 months!
oooh update needed!!!
You know, I really love this grid. Usually I think, will that word work? Today, I just bung it in and it nearly always does.
hi all :)
Hi Ata.
oh wow. not a dog person but so cute and very appropriate user name, my friends always say about her dog ' ITS ON ME , get it off me arr help' ' when she goes batty after being home all day
good point red, i will have to put a new one up
hello ata, console me
Hi ata
hey Ata
yes but it just keeps going and goig....
*consoles*
hey lady
why am I consoling you?
haha herin
hey ata!
hurshy wants a console panel?
i attempted to humourously encourage a newbie to be more sensible, and i scared her off i think instead
awwwwwwww
Ok thats it its holly cricket 345am I am going to bed for um 5 hours laters
hursh its sch holiday time. she is probably 9.
ATa what happened to the bird?
aww hurshy its ok
but it's even worse to hurt a 9 year old's feelings
I'm just trying to find out actually, the vet's going to phone me back
what bird?
going to entertain dog....bbl for 189...
what was it doing?
I found an unhappy seagull at thea beach adn took it to the vet
how did you know it was unhappy?
Yah Ata
cos it looked sad
how old r u hurshy
was it listening to lionel richie?
Old
All of us are pretty much old.
look at my flickr, doesn't it look sad?!
Ata good luck on the sea gull.
yer but how old 67
lionel ritchie would have killed the sea gull
Well you held it so I think it had an owies
I'm only 6. I just don't act my age.
say you ..say me.. poof ..gone
LOL really any gull that lets a dog walk up to it and nose it is not a happy gull!
sure u are
and im 1 wow
I think it was shocked for some reason, I couldn't see any obvious leg or wing breaks but it was very cold adn still and wasn't moving apart from its head
im 14 if that helps anybody
im 20
poor birdy
thx
i'm older than a pillow, but younger than ice cream
thats sad ata, i went to the beach one time with my friend and we found a bird so we took it home and cared for it. my friend kept it at her house, and gave it food. I believe it died though within a week. sad!
but he tried to peck one of the vet nurses so he did have some fight left!
do u think im a boy or a gir
if you're 20, then i don't feel so bad
im 20 silly
ok, can hardly keep my eyes open, time for bed, hugs and prayers for all, have a safe and truely blessed christmas and new year.
Vet nurses hate my cat. she likes to claw them

Wait till you get to the S's...

Hello Trifioso!

hello car, my beloved
you pay money, and then you do some other things
$770 to fix the van....sigh....there goes gymnastics for secondo
credit card or paypal, no COD
So....It has come to my attention that you have been withholding Babble / Lickety information...
me?
oh wow Tri
I told you about the list....when you first started
Told me about the list...but not that you can cut and paste your words onto it to keep track of them!!!! I have been MANUALLY checking them off....
thanks jac. I have to get rid of the cleaning woman too, which I really hate to do, as she is a lovely person, and she is trying to make a living too, and everyone is getting rid of their cleaners, it seems...
oh dear car, that must have been a hastle haha
oh thanks well thanks for making me feel welcome all of u have a nice xmas and a jolly new year ashers xxxx
bye
Merry Christmas Ashers!
bye ashers
have a good christmas
um...thats how I do it, car. I don't list until I am at least halfway. Then I do one big dump of the words, and then add the one by one after that as I need to. I don't always add all the words to the list, just when I need alphabetical help
thx u too bye guys
bye ashers
I didn't know about "the dump"
i do it that way too Tri
merry christmas to you ashers :)
oh my i would be no where without babble expert
* What did the Spanish farmer say to his chickens? * Oh-lay!
it's self explanatory, there are directions right there on the list. don't blame ME cuz you didn't read the directions!
I have been putting Lickety on, then picking a letter, going down my list, and checking off the little boxes on Lickety.
LOL Babble!
oh, geesh, that reminds me, I need to check on my chickens today
Groan. Pulling crackers are you BR?
how ya harshy
how did the pig feel when he lost his voice? disgruntled
Anyway, I have adopted Pini as my new sister as she led me through the process last night. She loves me.

chicken guilt mounting....going to check on them...brb
you get new fave word, i get new fave phrase.... "chicken guilt mounting"
lol yes, mine too
i think i will modify it though. movies with "mountain" in the title seem to do well with critics. so i shall call my forthcoming film "chicken guilt mountain"
lol hursh
5.46 letters per word quite a long grid
a pair of roosters torn apart by the forces of history, as the civil war rages... one on the north side of the farm, and one on the south, yankee doodle do and cockadoodle do must battle prejudice and their own loyalties to find true love...
could I also ask for the pr 8/45 before the pre-exam?
es 6/21?
One who pe 6/21?
Sorry! One who pe 7/32 I mean!
lol hurshy
es 6 --- hormone

Hurshy, I have returned, where is your younger protoge?
Oh I am helpful, aren't I?
you're moved, aren't you?
this baby's got oscar written all over it.
pr 8 --- p + idlers
more fun - no electricity to chicken house...gawd, what NEXT?
Ho moved?
sounds like a porno
Are they frozen? Do I need to make pie crust?
rather who moved?
it's got something written all over it, not sure it's oscar though
their water was. they were giving me the EYE, believe me! poor wee things....
Trif, the chickens will need to huddle together...in a big wad of chicken.
no no brabs, it's a cross between brokeback mountain and cold mountain, but with chickens.
like I said porno
I think it will lay an egg in the theaters hursh
maybe they need a ping pong ball in their water?
Oh just bring the things in the house already!
Well, if it has a plucky cartoon charater, it will succeed with the younger generation...
nobody moved, red, but they ARE moved by my film description... "chicken guilt mountain"
lol
hurshy, that movie idea is genius. I would def watch!
Plucky...tee hee!
So will it be like Chicken Run? Only with fighting?
That's becuase your the crazy chicken lady!
I don't have enough chicken diapers to bring them in the house all at once
oh no red, this is not a kid movie
Sounds like a jewish chicken mother story then
I know I am feeling the urge to make a movement....;)
Neither was bugs bunny originally.
gross, red! lol
so you could be home laying eggs.. but no you have to go to battle.
Just have them huddle in the downstairs bathroom...you can fill the tub up with a little bit of water...it will be lovely for them!
I was intentionally trying to be gross, and yay i succeeded!!!!
roosters don't lay eggs
the cleaning in spring car! eeew.
brokeback mountain ones do..
and will YOU come clean up the bathroom tomorrow? cuz let me tell you, it will NOT be lovely
Oh, I just meant for now! Not permanently!
ok, i just ate a really yummy apple, and i don't know what variety it was :(
Put down a little bit of newspaper! Tee Hee!
Oooh Hurshy I bet it was either Pink Lady or a Honey Crisp. I Looooove those.
Well...if you have to let the cleaning lady go anyway...this could be a last hurrah type of thing!
what are those apples that rot pink?
okay, my story: couple of years ago we bought ourselves a feather bed mattress cover thing for our christmas gift. On new year's eve I asked the hubs if he liked it, as I wasn't sure. I said "the feathers keep poking me in the bum." to which he responded "speaking of poking in the bum...." I looked up to see that an ad was on tv for Brokeback mountain." I literally pe4 my pants laughing....good time....
BTW, I don't know how to spell the es 6 hormone! I'm still trying!
Oh! The chickens would like the feather bed!
like our dear old auntie, without the h

No need to get your feathers ruffled about it.
rather winter park.
Trif is going to be so sad she is missing all of this....
have yet to scratch the surface
But have we established the pecking order?
could I have a clue for the first de8 please?
there is a pecking order?

Got it!
Hi DC
seain its a chicken grid today join in the puns.
Fowled up eh?
afternoon, hursh and phae, evening sally
Evening dc.

ty hurshy
mmmm... ice cream...
I only have the one 9 which I prodly found by myself.
I need a blanket.
I need the de8/45
no de9
TY dc I shall stop looking.
de 8/45: de + consonant + someone who attempts something.
bu8 and bu9, not related to one another are challenges
de 8/45... de + nickname for Aragorn... minus a 2 point letter
de 8 -- add manifest de**iny and extinct bird: car**** pigeon
ty, amelu :) and babrab
thanks br, that worked, and thanks everyone else
yw
dc...can you clue the bu8 and bu9?
the bu 8 is a plural of the bu7.
i like my popcorn even bu9 than my sister - she finds it soggy as i eat it
which is a sort of a tube used in a lab, or for a childs IV.
all my bu7;s are pl's
Ok, the BU I found is odd let me clue it: Bu plus an odd spelling of the name of scarlets man.
No H.
the passenger went extinct === sorry
Must dash now to get supper. Happy babbling everyone. Poof!

be well, Sally
Bye Sally, belated congrats.
se 6/21 #1 please

bu9, see dc's clue at 12:17
Smily bu*n**** of the sons of the pioneers
phae Seain clued it, its the most of the BU 6 an oily substance very bad for your waistline.

harry super dooper!

Good evening all............
re 7 -- impolites and ta ta
hi caitlyn
lol, what a funny word
ty, babrab, what an odd word
hi, caitlyn
Darn it I cant figure it out despite the super clear clue.
hey car, you still here????
Caitlyn, how are you? Are you prepared for the Hols?
Yes! You have to go back in the chat and see all the chicken talk! Too funny!
here's something fun - our phones are dead. I was having such an easy day and all....
Hi red all ready here and you?
hello, triflo :)
That's why it is so easy!
Very ready. I was accosted at the mall by sales people, they were more agressive than I knew...but all gifts done sent and almost all wrapped.
Red, I can't figure it out either!
car thanks, I feel a bit better now.
Whew .. down to just 405 ..
hi dc! long time no babble
Its my favourite day tomorrow........Christmas Eve
torgone, you are working hard to not complete the grid.
yes, work got in the way last week :)
and i work tomorrow and the day after, so may be scarce again
Really Caitlyn? Do you do something special for the eve?
ru...to be impolite...pl letter..go **e **e
Hey for now folks! Walter is in bed so here i am. He has informed Adnny what wegot him... well, what I got him... in our shopping today. He told him we got a book, so there went that, then he told him later that we went into his office to see which books he already has there, which means now he knows it is about, by, or concerning Frank Zappa. Sigh. But he will NEVER guess what Walter got him! Even though he is FREAKISHLY UNCANNY at knowing what is in those boxes.
I'd never finish this one ..
No I just like the excitment Hi MG
hi, Monkey
Finally got it! I was putting an re at the beginning of it!
dc the pond heater thing crapped out. Totally frozen
it's not as bad as the size would idicate, torgone
BR missclued that part
Once I got him a screw together cane and packed it in three boxes, and he said I got him a pointed tsick and seemed quite bewildered by this... another year it was a swiss army knife in an enormous box with rocks and he said he thought it was an oblong thing with projections.
oh, bummer! Koi pond?
car, can you call my house and tell me what happens when you do?
please?
Yeah, the first 240 words are a breeze!
Nice. We used to all sit round the tree and eat these horrific ice cream concoctions called "snowballs" coconut and vanilla with candles in the middle. Now my Mum cant find them they were so bad.
Bummer Trif!
you know, Trif, we COULD put the chickens in Mom's sun porch if it gets desperate. The whole thing can be hosed down.
i found the 1st 290 a breeze, but yess, maybe 300 are really easy
i'm missing 11 of those breezy words MG
alot of words today, but finished
woo 73 to go...gotta go do carpool
well done, bubba!
yes, dc. A BIG one. they are all going to die, unless I can keep a hole in the ice. ata, or someone, gave me a good tip about putting a log in to keep at least some air moving, but right now there is about 3 inches of ice on the pond, and then a foot of snow....damn
I cannot wait to hear his guesses about what Walter goit though... It's a black rubber ducky, a smaller one on a keychain, a set of black plastic wings on a magnet, and a pen that is also a telescoping back scratcher. I will be going back to this store.
WTG Bubba!!!!
Congrats bubba!!
Yay Bubba!
go bubba!!!!
wtg, harry, until later
Trif, it goes straight into your funky digital message.
damn. thanks, car
OK, the first 229 are a breeze, so I rounded it out...
i am seriously rethinking getting a cat now. How can we afford it? and maybe one, but not two, now
Tri if you can get a break in the ice we always used to use a tennis ball to keep a hole in there
OK, I have got to go fluff for work, then do my errand, then pick up Trifioso's daughter! I will see some of you around midnight EST!
you stupid little tw5.20! go away!
cats trif, tend to be pretty cheap to maintain.
bye car.ee!!
be well, car!
dogs on the other hand....seem to always be costing.
Food wise, but it depends on what medical has been done by the time you get them.
thanks caitlyn. the pond is about 4500 gallons, so I think a bowling ball might be more in order...or one of those workout balls
yes, i have 3 cats, and they are not terribly expensive
Bye car,,,,If I dont see you before Merry Christmas
I gave up on the tw's. I have the babblet and the obvious two.
But generally I agree Red. They can usually eat whatever humans are having!
thanks DC
LOL Tri I didnt realise sorry
Even medically, I seem to have spent less on the cats than my dogs.
Trif...may I suggest floating R's severed head in the pond to keep it from freezing? or how about a tire from the Sebring?
it's just that they are kittens - shot, spaying, etc.
of course if they are indoors then there is all that litter box issues.
Very much so. But it does look like we will have to have the cat's lump removed... but that still won't catapult her into dog expense ranges.
Oh yes, there is that, Trif. The humane society should be able to help with the spaying...
i think i will keep them indoors, red. I have fed enough coyotes, thanks
No, I agree. Cats are generally cheaper.
yuck!
indoor cats live longer and stay healthier, so that's a good plan
Are the kittens the same sex?
rabbits also are reasonably cheap.
Trif, I will talk to Suzi as well.
i think so. we were going to name the other one guiness, as it is black and tan. How cute is that?
seain are you ready for the big day?
we have a rabbit, thanks.
That IS cute!
Too cute! What is the name of the first one?
It is true DC they are much safer Seain. My moms are outdoors and one has gone the way of the truck, but the others have done well so far, one is 17.
oooph bad grammer!
oooh - car! tertiare just appeared with a hairbrush, demanding I get her "ready" as "auntie doesn't like messy hair" - WIN
caitlyn, i work tomorrow and xmas. so yes, ready
My cat can go out but she is extremely traffic savvy and overly cautious.
HOOORAY! It is a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!
Ok, I better get moving then!
Well if you're going pedantic on yourself might I point out it is grammAr...
Oh do you mind working seain?
Congrats car?
No, I meant on my niece wanting her hair brushed!
LOL
Me too! LOL!
Ok, you hang up first...no you hang up....no you...
my dad always worked holidays, too, so no not really, but i know it disappoints my family.
hi yall
hello
Hello Fooey
hi fooey
hi cait
Danny works nearly all holidays because he doesn't have to do so which means he gets time and a half and an extra paid vacation day every time. The company is closed on Christmas but open on Boixing Day which is a major holiday here. But this year he's taken boxing day off so as to have a 4 day weekend home with us. CAnnot say I disapproive!
hi phae
Will you have a chance to relax over the break though seain?
seain, what do you do for work? forgive me if you already said....
It will be nice for him and you to have that extra time together MG
hi trifioso
Why is it the entire English speaking world celebrates Boxing Day except us. No fair. I want another holiday
Yes, he and Walter don't get neatrly enough time together. I miss him days as well, but we have been married for almost 16 years and for teh first 12 or so were nearly always in the same place at the same time so I can live with it. But Walter is growing SO fast!
hi foeey
hi
flo, i work for CBP (US Customs) on their ACE Helpdesk, through the end of the year. I support the trucking industry, brokers and importers in filing manifets.
hell, fooey
hi
In Jan, i'll still be with CBP, but on their Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative Helpdesk, supporting travelles in the New World.
bichon I think you should say that you are European and that Boxing day is your holiday!
lol bichon= I us4 to work for a company with offices all over the world, and we would get these memos that said "the milan office will be closed for August...." and others like it from the other european offices, and we would get so grumbly...you europeans really have that figured OUT
Walter asked me today what is behind the sky. Danny wishes he was around more during the day so HE can get asked this kind of thing.
monkey! monkey! get him the golden compass books - they talk about that very thing!
ooh, great suggestion, triflo!
wow, dc, that is a very impressive, important job!
But the other side of the coin is that when you have to tell Walter off his daddy is the best thing ever LOL
He's 4! But Danny got them for me, a nice boxed set, last year, so they're here when he's old enough. I just explained that that is where outer space is. We discuss cosmology a lot.
the reason we don't celebrate boxing day is because it's not a holiday here.
hold on hi AMYZ
she not in the chatt romm but she might answer
i loved reading aloud to my kids, and wish they were still into it. primo was my longest hold out - i think we read together til he was in 7th grade! neither of the girls made it that far....
Do you have to work as normal then flagg?
I miss the days when my little kids would ask impossible question. The grands are yet too young for that.
Hee hee, Cait! Yeah, I do catch myself now and then saying, "Oh, Daddy would NOT like THAT!"
AMYZ
AMY Z
yes. you know your kids are getting older when they start asking you questions that have answers
this is a great age. He is discovering so much! And hypothesizing!
st 6/18 after the soup?
my favorite kid question ever was "what if the devil repented?" still pondering answers to that one....
He can also spell his own name with letter blocks or aloud.
ruru...you mean the road you live on?
st 6/18 the place your house is upon
yep... that was it
did anyone finish bable
babble
Thats great MG he will be playing babble soon LOL
there have been some finishers...not me :(
Hmmm. I claim no real knowledge of scripture but as far as I know he is down there for placing God above Man.... Repenting would oprobably start some sort of Golden Age. It's not like it'd erase sin, what with free will and all, so I guess Hell would still be there... Good question, actually.
i think nononanette finished, fooey
strud
Yes Fooey I did it earlier today
me either
wow oyur fast
He kind of plays now... "Look, that letter is in my name! Look, there's a K! Push K! Look, that other letter is in Daddy's name..."
Dart finished, but, like, big surprise!
LOL it took me hours
thanks for the answer ruru
how many words are there?
dart finished 4th last night
jk lol
ruru - saw you!
I have been playing at intervals today for, let's see, 13 hours. I have 253 words.
405
405 Imett
wait - do we get more points depending on how fast we finish? god help us all....
no i dont think\
No Tri the same for however long
me too MG!
whew! that's a relief!
we are all gonna have some serious carpal tunnel tomorrow...
LOL Tri
You've been up all night, Phae?
no...I have 253 words
Ah! Gotcha.
I had better get it together. If I am still babbling by the time car gets here, she is gonna bu4 me bad
a momentus moment has occurred....
276 here
My Mother has successfully placed a call to me on her cell phone.
gasp - red - what?
Trif, that will complement the rSI niocely. Always looking for a balance...
Yes, do tell!
the WHAT monkey?
oh, how wonderful, red! :D
Aha! I take it this is a hard-acquired skill...
Red, my mother struggled with that too. She can finally call me, but only by keying in the number manually, not going to the address book
My Mother used her phone. mostly to tell me that she is stuck on the NJ interstate with Dad, but still, its nice to know she has it.
next week, hell freezes over!
eh, she can call, bichon
Repetetive Strain Injury, Trif. From my illegal days working manual labor.
thing is Bichon, my mom is about 3 years older than you...
oh, okay...duh me...
Rotfl red.
My parents live so rurally I have been bugging them to get one in case of accideent in the woods, but my Dad is a luddite.
my mother is the same way - and she is a doctor! I am always getting so frustrated with her reluctance to try new things. For gawd's sake, she can take out an APPENDIX - how hard can a cell phone BE????
Trif, I am surprised she doesnt have to have one.
My grandfather has a higher IQ than almost anyone I have ever met... and could not for the life of him ever get the hang of programming a VCR. Odd how these things happen.
My Mom satill calls me every time she needs to go to the bank and access her account. She can never find her check book or the account #.
LOL Tri!!
lol monkey. I have a friend with a dad like that. total, total genius, could not do the simplest things.
I am grateful my mother does notdo that. I am blissfully unaware of their finances.
vcr requires some mechanical skill, or at least intuition, which many do not have
Don't get me started on the VCR. We set everything so she would only have to do the minimum, but she still can't do it.
My Dad is a very intelligent man as ell, sent his first email this year. If he ever learns to on lin eshop though we are all in trouble. He is a spenthrift.
We are talking someone who went half a tone deaf in his 60's from having had rheumatic fever as a child... and tuned his guitar accurately anyway by taking that into account...
oh, gawd, someday our kids are gonna talk this way about us...."honestly, I have explained the teleporter 1,000 times, and she STILL can't do it..."
I cant type!
I had to take over all her finances, otherwise no bill would ever be paid. We convinced her to move to Assisted Living. Turned out to be very wise.
True, DC. But his intuiotion and mechanical skills are exemplary. Go figure.
I can't either, Red.
My Mom ants to move,bichon, but my Dad has a small love affair with trees on the property.
I know, Trif.
those vcr's are not intuitive. I cant program one!
They'll be saying, Jeez, Mom, just add the quadrofactant BEFORE the stimulator and dinner will be ready in NO time!
please, i am bummed they don't offer assisted living for 40 year olds....I can be packed and ready to go in ten minutes
never owned one. and still have no dvd player.
Thats is so true Tri, now I am feeling my age, there are a lot of things on this computer that I havent a clue about
i wonder if the elderly have trouble with the small print and/or symbology on electronics.
Aww, just move here, we can age gracefully together.
they make large-print universal remotes.
I'll be 40next month.
I had to pry her out of her condo in FL and then did the moving for her. I went through all of her papers and found thousands of dollars worth of uncashed checks.
Afternoon, kids. Trif, you are cracking me up.
okay, iam poofing for real now...bbl!
We DO DC. Hello everyone
ciao, trif!
Well, My Dad has figured out all sort of high end stereo stuff, he is just a luddite.
Holy cow, Bichon? Checks from whom?
Bye Tri, Merry Christmas to you and yours
OK, I need to go too. Have fun all!
Bichon, My Mom found the same thing this year after her mother passed away.
my mom is a luddite on the whole, too :)
hast, MG
Hi Lynxxx!
Bye MG I will see you tomorrow
resistentialism
I made my Dad use my cell once, and the entire time he kept telling his friend "I'm on a cell phone" I think his pal as bemused.
i have ts6, any other TS words?
The checks were from the IRS, a benevolent society, insurance, stock broker. The list went on. She doesn't have Alzheimers, she just lacks the motivation to take care of things.
my mom is getting that way , bichon
no dc, that's it
nice word, babrab
ty, bichon
My Grandmother had Alzeheimers. My Mom as at a loss as to whether to cash them or what.
Sh's almost 85 and my father always took care of everything. Then he got ill, died and Mom never knew how.
Good evening everyone, just came in to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas, as time is short and may not get the chance tommorow:)
Dang! I'd have my nosed pressed against the window of the bank waiting for the doors to open so I could cash them.
I got all the check reissued and deposited them.
ty, jean, and a happy xmas to you and yours, too!
Hi Jean! Happy Holidays, Happy Holidays...may the merry bells keep ringing...
Most of them were probably too old to cash anyway, Bichon. I supposed re-issues could have been requested.
Hi Jean, all the best for you and all your family too
I had to pretend I was her when I called. It was simple. All I needed was her SSN and date of birth
Well, Judi I think because my Grandma was not living my Mom felt like she as alright ithout that.
Snap!
the cheques could have been reissued to the estat then.
right gotta dash, once again Have fun everyone byeee :)
Other than that, your intentions were honorable, Bichon.
Time for me to go.........If I dont see any of you tomorrow I would like to wish you all and your families a very Merry Christmas (or holidays)
until later, caitlyn, and happy xmas to you, too
Yes they may have been. The estate as errr, a bit big, and there became some bickering
Bye Caitlyn, have a peaceful Xmas
Sooo, my Mom decided to duck out of it and let the brothers claw each other.
I made no profit. Going through all the papers [and I must add the papers were mixed in with volumes of store circulars and cash register receipts] were treasures like my Grandfather's births certificate from the old country
i see, red, that makes sense then.
BBL
Oh the best thing she got was a huge Box of old Photos. She has been scanning and sending out to all of us via email, they are such treasures.
in Mom's house is her maternal great-grandparent's wedding cert from Bratislava, Austria-Hungary and their wedding photos, and his eyeglasses.
yes, cleaning out grandpa's we found hundreds and hundreds of photos, and grandma's recipes :)
hey, I'm back
My Mom sends the photos out at odd intervals,it has helped heal up the ugly brothers squabbles, so e cousins have something to do.
I scanned a lot of the documents as they were in very bad shape. There were my grandparents citizenship certificates. That meant so much to me. I also discovered from my g'father's birth certificate that he was considered illegitimate by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
nifty, bichon
Hi SMiles!
His parents only had a religious ceremony. So wise guy hubby tells me he always knew I was a descendant of bastards.
vey nice, re
er, red
hey, red
I love to see those documents...I think my grandparents never quite got why they are so treasured by us...
it is later than we think for all of us ---- what we find annoying often annoys the next generation too
Hello Babble.
indeed so, bableRabble
hello, redT
Oooh I am stuck with 150 left an entire grid!!!
Ok making a bold attempt at Lunch.
good luck, red!
death is such a hard topic for so many yet, so much may be done to eliminate hassles by planning and preparation
indeed, babrab. I know my mom has finances and what in order. I'm hoping she'll finally let me help her clear out the crap in the house she does not need. It would be nice to see the dining room again. Sih.
sigh
true. My Grandma has such bad alzeheimers, her husband prepared a lot, but...of course since he preceeded her, her sons became vulturous. My Parents thank heavens are well prepared.
er had.

Torgone, you are doing a bang up job of not starting.
tea + honey + bourboun is cold medicine :D
Stidg~! I grew up in PA dutch country.
Thank you .. I do try ..
Without noticing I went beyond my usual few words. Overachieving without consciousness doesn't count I think.
miilefeuilles = palmiers i know

I have 4 wds with the 7 prefix. Am I missing any? I don't know if I have the poem.
that is all the '7' words, muchnick
michnick rather
Thanks DC
Oh good gracious. another child killed here in Orlando. We are going to have a huge record for murder and homocide.
makes me wonder if I ant to live here.
i moved into DC (about a half million people) when 700k+ a year were being murdered
I think Orlaaaando is trying to beat everyone.
oops, 700+ a year (what's a few thousand) LOL
I figured it wasnt quite that high.
move over here :)
I think it would take quite a bit of explosive to maintain a 700k+/yr homicide rate
It's a wee bit chilly over there ata.
Oh I wouldn't worry about that red - Memphis has the franchise!
wamer in England than here in DC this time of year. OTOH, it never gets warm there
this could be true, but we are the 12th city in the nation...and rising.
but less murders!
true!
But I am quite warm thanks...about 75 today.
No one can take #1 from Memphis! All ages, all genders.
its aove freezing here!
Yes, Orlaaaaando is just going for the tabloid murders, ala Caylee Anthony.
See what I mena Ata?
sdtill better than half of the US!
but Ata, I dont live in those halfs!
it's usually above frezzing here at this time of year too, ata
My Crazy parents are driving to RI today!
lol true
i made a u-turn in RI once, so a friend and i could get food in MA at the border. LOL
Thats RI!
I want to see a part of RI that is not Providence one day, that's my curiosity
hey hey all whats happnin
they have good food in newport
I am feeling a bit sentimental, My whole family is going to be there, in the huge victorian home...fires, tree, big Xmas dinner...fun nephews...
Yes Ata they do, Aunt Carries at Point Judiths is good seafood, in fact, "It's Clamtastic"
hi all...here for a few ...
hi pini
hi, pini and cyrus
yo Red...still warm?
hiya dc
hey pini whats happing
you work, red?
Pini this morning was very cold, but armed up pretty well.
hi miley...nothing much...on vacation...enjoying being lazy ;)
FOr the Holiday yes. Eve and day it ill be nice.
is qis a word?
I know you are working too.
aww, red...it's 36F and all of our snow is gone and doesn't seem to want to come back! :(
really that sounds good im in vacation to (from school) but i cant wait can u all believe that its christmas eve eve???
i don't think qi is pluralable
after some snow last night, it's warming up and will be melted/rained away by Christmas... well I guess I could drive up the hill a bit, should be more snow there
One year I want a real X mas vacation lik eI used to get in school.
ohh because they use it all the time on that scrabble game
qis is a var spelling of chi
:) some year, red
lol turtle, I felt the same way so this year when I spent two weeks with family back in oct/nov mom decorated and we had Christmas then =D
Yes, when I marry the ugly but wealthy neurosurgeon.
hmm ok because i was playing scrabble with my friend
14 left...and they're all nasty
bu 5, 18??? Lost, and listing qith 112 left.
itsome...go to scrabble.com; you'll find a list of q words that don't use a u ;)
bu5 - took mass transit, leaving out a consonant
im on a roll today
thx
ooooh thanks Harry.
go miley.
ok this is really random but how do u put your picture on the litle thinggy????
yw
that is taking mass transit, two of the middle consonant is 'kissed'
my mistake dc :)
speaking of roll, I think it's about lunch time
You have to get a pro account miley
but a clue "kissed" would not have been very useful
common mistake, and a difference that is blurring. losing battle on my part, really.
oh ok does it cost any money ???
... yes
oh ok thanks
D's Done.
re 6/33 please
color and before a blossom
thanks babble

babrab often confuses me

jmc, that was not clear, is that what you're saying?
but i only got 6 letters for that

ru7 starts from top R and is twisty
ru7 - implolite (plural) plus most of english adios
jmc...add a vowel in the middle
ohhh thanks dc

oohh Now I Get it thanks
I still don't understand this ru7 business
it defines ruru [giggle]

Someone who is very conservative, especially sexually, might be considered such a person.

but I know Seain a ee bit and he isnt a Pr***. I might be.
I Pulverised the P'S!
good job red
i must agree with red on that last statement. took me a bit to move on from pri-, though :)
good evening, everyone - I just passed the halfway mark here, 203 words, 202 to go!

I think I'm behind...As done
hi, red, and seain - how is everything?
i'm plodding through the Ps now
woohoo jbv
wtg jbv I will be glad if I get 1/2 way!
glad to her it red. the p's (and the t's and the s''s and a whole heck of a lot are pulverizing me). and I shoveled my walk, finally today, which was a huge mess!
jbv! Ready for Holidays??? My Parents are stuck in your state currently.
red, the holidays are happening without much fanfare here - have not had a moment to shop, decorate, etc. (we had two different doctor visits today) - but we celebrate on Jan. 6 - so there's plenty of time!
OH Red
OOoh dorens, you burnt calories!
Kings Day? or Epiphany? neat, do you make a kings day cake?
3 Kings Day - no cake but we do exchange gifts then
OH JBV, no cake with the gold piece in it? I might have to send you one.
when my son was little, we followed the PUerto Rican tradition of leaving straw out for the camels - next day straw is gone, presents appear
WOW I love babble
thanks, red, but cake is not on my program and I am trying to get back to a semblance of my routine - it has taken a beating lately
yes finally red. haven't been to the gym in three weeks, was feeling so crummy. and now the back is hurting, the chest is hurting (cough? asthma? who knows?). we have to decorate the tree tonight and just found out my son and his family will be stopping here tonite on their way to maryland tomorrow. so had to vacuum, etc. more calories!
I like that one JBV.
I have missed the gym, n ot really well yet.
Hello
who needs cake?
hi, mlf
HI MLF
can't picture YOU not working out, you're an exercise fanatic
seeing as it's cake or death, everyone needs cake
red why are your parents stuck? flights cancelled??
i like cake :)
HI Herin
I think your traffic is not so nice. they are going to RI.
HI DC
I would like a house elf or 10
I love cake but I am eating miniature portions now, retraining the brain
Yes, Dorens it is true I am actually an excercise addict, but I have been feeling very tired and fevery.
hey mlf
i applaud your discipline jb
thats not good red
I have another Half Marathon in March but since I am not officially training ai am snoozing on the couch pretending I dont know what a gym is. COach is on Vaca too!!!
discipline waxes and wanes, dorens, but I am on track - have lost 40 pounds, can't seem to get beyond that, though
AP 7 clue please

Do you think I should take the nice vet people some chocolates or something for looking after the seagull?
hello all, back to find my last 67 words
ap + te4/4
yes. And is the Seagull ok?
is he/or she charging you
and how is the seagull?
ty got it
nice thought Ata
don't know yet. oh no, they don't charge for such things. The gull is having a peaceful and quiet and warm night, and they'll assess it in the morning
I saw the seagull on broadway sat nite with Kristin Scott Thomas. not the same seagull????
good ML
yes chocolates or cookies would be nice
not unless it flew here quickly!
If the seagull were able, he might have done so himself !
chocs, I mean !
I'll see what I can scavenge in the morning, I refuse to go into Tesco's on Christmas Eve for any seagull!
AR 9 is that related to another AR word?
but then, he would probably have got some for you too ( although I don't know the story)
lol Ata
Yes ML...it's a pl
1st pe6, pls?
lol, very quick recap for karys - we found a sad little seagull on the beach and took him to the vets, and they are looking after him and assessing what needs to happen
oops sorry i had it
a bird dc...pe6/33
no L, so i'm not clear on the bird
Seain can I talk to you on Yahoo please
there you are then Ata...I'm sure he would have got some chocs for you too !
pe6 - weewee + funny
dc...urine + clever badinage
karys of course says it in a much nicer way!
lol Ata.... (sorry !)
ok...where do these words come from???
some old tome.
huh. never heard of that bird.
it's a shore bird here
hey buddies, buddies, o fuddies, banana nana bo uddies - happy holidays
Seain, do you have a bird life list? I have been thinking of doing one, but then thinking it might be too nerdy.
hi, nance, happy holidays 2 u, too
bird life list?
yes some people keep lists all their lives of birds they have seen....
happy holidays nance
I have a notebook where I keep notes on nature sightings, red, not just birds, tho
red...my husband has mostly
happy Holidays Happy Holidays to Nance.
YAH small victory No more E words. HI Nance
pr5/16 please
well done herin
thank you my dear & loving friends
hey yall why are we talking about birds???
I started a bird list when I took a birdwatching class several years ago, but have not seen anything new and have also lost my list :(
My mom has one like that JBV, describes the weather and general things about the house.
Yes then the T words or s or R words there is hope
pr5/16...p + ru 4/6
Miley, we like birds.
oh ok thats like the bomb diggity
ty Karys
yw
oh dear t r o l l
i've thought on starting a bird list again - i kept one as a child - but haven't yet
yes, seain, I cant decide if I want to or not. I probably wont.
I keep mine in a calendar that I reuse so you can see the seasonal things in a cycle each year - like when the forsythia bloom, etc.
speaking of birds my grandma used t have one but when she died a few years back (when i was 7) my aunt gave it away and i was really sad
husband has a bird book and he ticks off what he has seen and weher etc
how rude of the aunt, miley
I really should karys. It doesnt seem so nerdy if Mr karys does it.
i went on a school field trip whnen i was in the 5th grade and they had us keep a journal of all of the birds we saw it was so fun
and JBV has one too, with many more details.
lol red...you should do as you please, and I think it is quite interesting too !
we see lots of urban/suburban wildlife here - deer, raccoons, oppossums, skunks, etc.
we have tons of foxes and deer here
the most unusual thing I ever saw was a mother chipmunk followed by three teeny tiny baby munks
I have cranes, lizards, and err the occasional alligator. lost.
we even saw a fisher once in the yard
JBV...sounds like a great place to be !
Neat, I like to see baby wildlife.
how cute JBV!
oh yes and racers.
I think i dreamed this grid. OH and that sounds cute JBV
most exciting thing we have here is the foxes !
well dcs i understand where your coming from but it was like the one thing that reminded her of my grandma and we had lost my grandpa 2 yearsbe4 that and i guess that was just her way of coping kinda like when my grandma died i couldnt go into her bedroom because the memories just hurt too much but i definatly see where your comming from
we have foxes here. wow. and green woodpeckers.
green woodpecker?
green ood peckers? nifty.
only spotted the green woodpecker here once Ata.
I only see them every now and then, but they are definitely around
this year we have had lots of goldfinches, which were quite unusal until this winter
wow i just found a really funny word in the puzzle lol
evening all, icon theme updated to Christmas Eve, tomorrow.
I've had lots of goldfinches and purple finches, my favority
periwinkle, we share this grid, have you seen it?
hi spri**
evening sprite
hi, sprite
SPrite what a pleasant suprise to see you

ooops...sorry !
I like hte oriels
and I do like herons a lot.
and I like watching little stoats run across roads
the 1st time i saw a baltimore oriel, it staltled me. such bright orange!
i grew up with lots and lots of himmingbirds
seain! *hug* It is almost midnight here, I need to go to bed. Just peeking in to update the icon themes in time for our aussie en new sealand players.
We do get herons on occassions
LOL LOL LOL LOL I just found another funny word this puzzle is good today
how's the grid? should I just wait till tomorrow for a "reasonable" one?
what I have noticed is that there are fewer birds around - I've been in this house for 19 years and there has definitely been a change over time - we used to see lots of bluejays and cardinals, now it's very rare
sleep well, sprite!
une it is fast for a while. the list helps loads.
*Z*ealand :P
une, it's not too bad today.
love you icon, Une, and the grid is fun. Not at all tough, only big.
I really enjoyed it... altho' it is a little overlarge !
ok, thanks :-)
Uh Oh JBV.
awww thanks Ata :)
My parents have alot of birds, but my Mom planted specifically for them, and they redid the stream as well, so water flows better.
bye all, have a lovely day and a splendid night. See you all tomorrow.
I live in a very heavily developed area - that's why it's so amazing to me when I see a deer that is able to survive amid the asphalt and concrete
we seem to have every Brent Goose in the world here at the moment
bye sp****
No you don't Ata...we have some !
Sorite sleep tight

Ardilla is not married is she?
hi gang. if anyone knows the babbler squrell, i have a message to pass on...
no it wasn't... how sad. let me think...
HiFeather
who IS she feather?
this is from ang. squrell is mostly a lurker i believe, but wanted to let anyone know if they knew her: "I just came on the computer tonight and received some sad news from squrell. Her husband of almost 20 years passed away on Sunday. He went in the hospital this weekend and squrell was there all day sunday, but she came home and was on for a little bit. She got a call while she was on and told me she had to go quickly. She asked me to let everyone know. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I will post a message in yahoo, but i'm not sure how many check there. So if anyone is playing in gander, please let others know in case i don't get a chance to get in there before christmas."
oh, you got the message too....didn't see that ata
how sad
I get the abbreviation names people use here in babble confused.
oh THAT is sad
gotta run, boys are due home soon. see you all later.
later feater
bye feather
very ssad, but mystery solved
bye feather
yes, sad.

pl. for female body part ut5
Hi, all
Hi Jell
TY jellen and Helloo Ho Ho Marry Holiday.
thanks Jellen -- I wasn't even close!
269 now
3
go Stid
yea i know i asked him if he wanted me to come over or bring anything to the funeral and he said that all he needed was my love but do any of you have any good ideas so i can maybe surprise him like flowers or something
go red go!!!
I must not know what body part that is.....*blush*
a funeral is not exactly a time to do surprises.
miley -- a card of condolence for your friend -- and if the aunt was married her spouse/family
2
yea that was kinda what i was thinking red but i was thinking about maybe flowers or food or something
bring food in a day or two after the funeral
or if you did not know the aunt, maybe offer to help with the food after the service
ut + ***c Idle, comedian
good idea lex
like the setup
a plate of cookies or home-baked bread is a thoughtful gift
p.s. stid i like the idea of a card i might do that im really upset she was kinda like my big sister cause me and my bf have been freinds scince kindergarden and she was like my big sister/ like a mom to me
study
it also sort of depends on the service etc...dhaving been to 4 funerals in the last 3 months, they are always a little different. one was about 50 people and the next was over 1000.
oops sorry
DR....there is PB cookies in PB.
go DR!!!!!
right - but let the family work things out for the first day -+ it is just after the funeral when people start to feel lonely
*puts candy in PB*
I need hot tea red am going gracefully to PB
makes "tension tamer" tea for DR>
I went to 2 in one week about a week ago
Lex, it is getting to be a bit too routiene for me.
ty Red... PErfect!
thanks dr
YAY red?

**With lysol**
I hate driving in the snow..
i heard a funny car /snow accident story --- if that is possible
Oh, Stid, it still doesn't seem real....

hey knitter - primo is playing for me, since my brain has turned to mush - say hello!
I don't mind driving in the snow... but all the crazy people who don't know how scare me!
Buona sera, Primo! Come stai?
coworker was driving with her daughter thru ice and snow the other day. she was laughing at a car that had slid off in to the bushes her daughter warned her to knock it off karma and all when around the corner cam a snow plow and ran right over the top of her car. no real damage just that karm stuff coming to bight her
Look at me, finding more words after I said good night. **bad addiction**
I wouldn't mind hearing a funny story knitter.

here was my fun day knit: car crapped out, $770 to repair it, so the girls have to give up gymnastics so we can pay for it . Sophie broke my digital camera, which I can't replace, the electricty went out in the chicken house, our phones went out in the house, and when the comcast guy came he left his tool box here, so now he has to come back, and the smoke detector in the playroom is chirping bec it needs the battery changed, but, as it is in the ceiling 18 feet above my head, I am not sure how that is going to occur. and, then, my cell phone died, R took the kids for dinner and gave them too much soda. Also, this grid has 405 words.
Stuff: Go to store get money get food buy a gift get spare money so a friend can have a gift for her friend
(((Trif)))
other than that????
OK Triffs with Gymnastics can you get the girls to do that and pay them off?

kill smoke alarm with the broom thats what i did when i could not reach to shut it off
comcast guy forgot his tool box eh? was he at least nice to look at?

So don't sit with him.

OH can you do the idiot girllie thing and get Mr Comcast guy to do the battery?

ty wv and all for the great clues as always
and huzzah Kazozz

congrats teach!
wtg wvteach!
wtg kazozz and wvtech
I'm new here. What does "re 7 / 44" mean? This is my first time, and I've got 179 words. Is that decent for a beginner?
so i'm still not getting the 7/44... which R does it come from?
Agentsmurf, hi, 7 letters, 44 points
congrats kazozz - my grandson standing here next to me wants me to tell you that he was born in England
jpb- 4th row
wtg agentsmurf! I only have 108
= jpb- re to get ready for a test, you must *****
So, the letter "R" is just the name of the tile, and, as you said jbp, it's 7 letters long and worth 44 points?
oops
yep Agent
re + to get ready for a test
1More... THANK YOU. i didn't have the st yet!
1moreGame just gave me another word
Thanks
np
re 7 = re + st 5/18
agent always look for plurals
got it, thanks all.
Jmcnrick that's what I'm trying to do. Every word they count I usually add an "S" or "es" or whatever to
also in this grid look to add er, ed, est, ier
well, with 152 left, I'm calling it a night. Thanks for all the great clues!!
and re--
night all
good night all
So, this help thing, obviously I can't give words away, but is it possible to get a hint toward a 9 letter word?
Night
gn
bye jbp and wvtech
do you need a hint or want a hint
It'd be nice
look at the ar words - the 9 builds from the ar 6/18 - if you break a law you will get ar 6
LOL *want to GIVE a hint
Oh, I'd need a hint, although WVteach also helped me out a ton. Thanks
the ap 8 and 9 combo build off ap 4/5, think opening
ap 8 and 9 - opening on a camera
ummm - this interesting. the word list count says I have 384 words, and the word stats say I have 10 left...
Hmm.
384 plus 10 is not 405
try refreshing
bu 9 builds from the bu 6/27 - what you put on toast
wv, i do have that one
in reference to the toast! Thanks, though
its magic trif
peanut bu**** and jelly
sp 9 builds from the sp 5/14 - how fast you travel
refreshing did correct it, but I got a couple of messages regarding "a script on this page is not running" - should I be worried?
Also have that one
have to go now - good night again
no worries - system was catching up
Good Night, and Thanks =]
good night
no my computer says that all the time I just ignore it
Well, hey, it was nice talking. Thanks for the help. First game ever, and I only have 220 words left. I'm proud. Good Night

nice trif.... i'm down to 61 and it's rare that you feel relief at that many words left!
good for you I spent my night trimming the tree with my son and his girl friend so not much time to tackle this bear
jmc, i actually did most of the list this morning, before the kids woke up, and then they were out with their dad tonight, so I had nice quiet babble time...a rare thing!
sounds lovely
other than the carpal tunnel, it was!
lol if your wrists lock up trif..i can hook you up with a nice speak and type program;)
lol
does anyone have featherbee's e mail address?
did you check her blog, bernice?
i am afraid I don't, bernice
i'll try that.
crossy checks his armpit deoderant...;(((
hello all! hey cross! how snowy is it up your way?
howdy stid;)
hi stid
hey what's wrong with redu**? after I failed the white glove test, I had to redu**!
we have snow up to our ying yangs!
hey stid, how much snow do you have?
you should have avoided the white glove te**
LOl dorens! you can only have red6 if you d4 in the first place (I don't)
stid! guess who will appear here tonight at some sleepy point, so I can enjoy her tomorrrow morning before she goes to her other grandparents?
the snow has melted about halfway -- maybe 6 or so inches left this evening, but more on the way.
oh my i just disappeared! not the first time though! I tend to poof a lot. :) but i am back!
i kind of had to this afternoon... got call from Phoebe's dad that they would be here tonight and he's very allergic to my two cats
hi, all. Just got home from work, and I am off for the next two days. We close tomorrow morning on refinancing our mortgage.
how wonderful, dorens!!! *prepares little cot for the princess with warm blankies and lots of stuffed animals*
ANGELSONG!!!! Have been missing you!
lol stid,we have been getting a foot a night for the last week or so.the plows run non stop and all the ski hills are going full tilt
me too, Stiddy!! (hugs!)
yes, she will be happy and cozy here, and delight with the christmas tree, cats, etc. before her trip to maryland
there's no way to contact her from her blog. anyone else know her e mail?
Hi angel... sweet baby there
what's up bernice?
i'm looking for featherbee's e mail address
I am not comfortable just giving out her email, but could send your email to her if you like?
he sure is, Dorens! he's thriving, too. 2 and half months old.
FIREWORKS!!!!! Oh, I am so proud of me!
funny you're not comfortable, which i totally understand, because the reason i want to contact her is that she published on her blog my full name and website link, without my permission
i'm infuriated
wtg trif that is amazing
WOOHOO FOR TRIFIOSO
glad I came back in time
YAY, Trifi...good job.
yaa for trif! 21 gun salute for you!
wow. that doesn't sound like her.
i use this screen name on other sites, and anyone who googles it would find my real name and then my CV, my education, etc.
doesn't sound like her? just google my name and in the first 10 hits or so is her blog with my info.
I actually finished this monster grid before I left for work this morning
wtg Angel!!!
wow, angel that is AMAZING!!!
can you have her please take it down? is there any way to UNpost something to a blog?
mm you know,ive never googled my own name...mmm
Bernice, I do not deserve that sort of response.
what sort of response?
is there a way to contact her through her website?
and I finished it despite having the power go off this morning in the whole neighborhood.
feather hasn't posted to her blog since July 16
no, i looked trifioso, oculdn't find anything
the anger and impatience
yes, it's from a long time ago, but when you google my name it is still out there
i just cannot find the first bu5/16
i'm not being angry and impatience with you, stid, i'm just frustrated to have my personal info out there, as i'm sur eyou can understand
diving back into grid
yay trif and angelsong!
itsonme think of a flat hill in the drylands
itsonme - it sounds like what little girls put in their hair, with a diff first vowel
thanks everyone. self esteem workshop for today!
a scot speaks with a bu**. lose one consonant and add the initials for the little alien who wanted to phone home for the bu5
i never put on the computer anything that im not comfortable with 30 million people knowing.safer that way
oh my goodness! that is so sad i didnt have that considering i previously had the plural! haha, thanks jmc trif & angel
yes, crosshair, i agree, but this was put up about me without my concent
consent
I once did a computer dating thing and the guy figured out who I was in two emails I am so not anonymous
and if your all good ill post my secret hot toddy recipie for christmas;:
I can't MAKE anyone do anything bernice -- but I will tell you that you do show up on google in about 397 places, and even when feather takes the specific reference down (which if you really did post it to the babble chat log it will still be "out there") the information will persist on google.
and the succeding 7 and 8 are similar
I wait with baited breath crossy
i wouldn't ask you to MAKE her do it, simply to ask her to do it or let me know how i can contact her to ask her to. i show up many places, yes, but not with a reference to my real name.
I will send feather a quick note. I am sure she didn't think it bad, given that you had already posted it to a public forum.
thanks angel!
i only "posted it" in my profile for a very short second to share with another babbler who was published in the same journal as i was, and i took it down in less than a minute
hi everyone
i was uncomfortable about doing it, but i trusted this comunity
PING!!!!!
howdy ping;)
hi, Ping
hi ping!
Evening all! May I please have a clue for de8-45? Thanks
hi ping. hi gapeach

hi doc, stid, angel, dorens, and its!
Hi ping

Hi Dorens, Peach, JMC,

hello everyone! Can anyone clue please the second PE 5/12 (just before the Babbler) Thanks!
Ah, I see -- yes, profile info is less likely to be caught by spiders.
sorry cross... didnt mean to add the s
:))
You are a friend as well :)
just googled myself and found at least ten hits. who knew?
and since i play poker under this name, it would be very bad for someone who lost money to me to know who i was
would you like me to ask her, bq?
the de8/45 is a plural...it begins and ends with the same two letters plus plural...with almost not false in the middle.
happy holidays to you as well dr! and hello peach!
I never google myself becasue of my job.. I show up alot
that would be great ping, if stid doesn't feel comfortable
on Secretary of state corporate websites
stid, up to you
Happy Holidays to you too, itsonme

more of the "margarine" flavor...except it isn't margarine, it's real ******....
yes, about three weeks ago ping -- we are on quarters. I survived. Assume I got an A in the class from the community college, hoping for a good eval from the program I took at Evergreen.
stid, have you seen the Babble Stats page lately? I'm almost done with the year.
that's great, stid!
PE 5/12? I tried pl french for father but it wouldn't take. Thanks everyone: IT'S MY LAST WORD!!

hey, phoebe is here! bye
stid, I empathize completely. I am SO glad I finished grad school before I found Babble.
thanks Dorens but it's a few words before that
bye dorens - have fun!
my husband was there with Matt Groening
Thanks Angelsong forthe de8 clue.
later dorens! *kisses phoebe*
cool, jmc
I love Les Purce
wer're getting a nice Christmas present. Our mortgage interest rate will drop with our refinance.
Matt was a little before my time -- about ten years I think. I remember some of his doodles from when I was in high school though
Goodness gracious! I got way behind in the chatterbox, had to read everything! :)
Les is wonderful. But the whole school has gotten a lot more bureaucratic in the last 18 years (since I graduated)
that is excellent angelsong!
there was a whole crowd of cartoonists that year besides Matt
down below 100!
go STid
it's going from 7.25 % to 5.5%
goooo stid!
242 left but I am going crosseyed and have work in the am so I am off to bed (go stid!)
*eyes pop out and roll around on floor* I would like to refinance but to be honest we had trouble getting a refi five years ago when the house was in much better shape. Tom is lovely, but he is not much of a handyman.
later jmc! be well!
h i all...back to finish my last
our house was appraised for about 15k more than we bought it for! I was shocked.
... 76
excellent! our home is worth less (of course) but the property value itself has increased about 350%.
narrowing it down pini!
I increased from 130 to 270 so far...
go pini go!
trying, itso
by jmc!
hi all. could i get a clue for the re7/32 and 7/28 after the shoe relacing?
re attempt something skooj

hi tyger
Hey, tyger
just sticking my nose in for a minute. I've been scrambling tonight to get some stuff done.
ahh i have to avoid the chatterbox, i need to focus on the grid! I will be in and out of chatting!
hey, jellen, onme
hi tyger...
I did some blog posts. I've been neglecting it for several months; just not feeling up to it
hey, pini
Tim and I made six pairs of earrings for Christmas gifts tonight...
how true, onme. I never come in here until I finish the grid - if I'm doing the grid, that is :D (not today's!)
how is Tim, jellen?
is he having periodic checks of his hand?
Feeling sickly today...Shot last night
... 24 more to go!
friend's husband who had a melanoma removed a few years ago has to have them
shot???
flu shot?
I don't know when he'll have another PET scan...interferon shot
you had an interferon shot? or he did?
obviously, I'm confused :)
We have an appoinment before the end of the year with his oncologist...Tim has interferon shots three times a week as part of his cancer therapy...
es 6/21?
oh, I see. thx for explaining. I'm still praying for him when I think of it
