I am very well, thank you!
well i must say i love the snow, the problem is the rain that always follows in this particular area... bleck
have been busy with the biz and some family stuff, but I am back =)
I want the snow to go and stay gone... the kids were off school for the two-week break and extra days because of the snow. I want a break!
I was used to snow back east, and they cleared the roads promptly. Trouble here is they don't and I don't like being stuck at home.
jilli, you need bigger tires!
or a dog sled with huskies jilli..
no, Jill needs to buy a teenager *hurriedly marks down the teen o' the week*
UGH...1 more for NBT and I have to go to bed!

thanks jai for the ho6
hello mrp....
i don't find this a friendly grid
kier - head bump! OW!

ok, lickety has found an extra 7 and an extra 8
90 down and slowing
ho6 was not a nice word, was it, hugs?
the wind is making weird noises happen outside and in the house. hope none of those big trees ends up on my couch/me

oh. I am ahead
Hi {{{{{{stid}}}}}}}!!!
102. but crawling
prob
oops
90 and being dragged behind the truck..
hi mrp, jai, freep and all (I'm watching Tess of the d'Urbervilles)
no prob dart..lol
ok, the words that you need to ignore are..... ar7/36 (second one) and the ar8/50 directly following it cause ARCHAEA and ARCHAEAL are not words in babble
interesting, jilli. I might be paranoid, but I think she's watching me!
I should be in bed, but this is so fun/addicting!!!
hmph. dumb babble. archaea are fine critters!
hah, mrp -that's hat i was just fussing with ;)
when lickety gets home, I will get him to fix it. Is that ok with everyone??
thanks, mrp
and if you can get rid of the first ar7, cuz it's not a word I'd seen before, then we'll all be happy :-)
and I keep seeing "ar**angel!
thanks mrp!
me too jai
I'm off to bed at just over the halfway mark. Happy babbling all!
does anyone have the lower right A ?
hehehe freep!!
ok, back to the tennis :D see you all later
I am off, too! Have fun, all!
sweet dreams fruit!
anything is fine with me, mrp!
melon, what you use to keep a boat still
I keep seeing words wich have no ending
ok it just started snowing, 38 minutes after it was supposed to start. idiot weather forecasters... hmph (kidding)
da_N! smack myself a second time!

It's the classic - should turned left. . .

thanks melon
It's a word every Catholic schoolkid knows.
ah.
sister? uniform? detention??? *thinking*

got it! rofl
kier...you live 38 minutes too far east
or mostly what I think of every day stid...
okay, two more tiles to got the one from each...
got it of course, as soon as I knew it was naughty
lol atta girl jilli
not naughty or catholic enough
but I'm trying
oh LOL
*think* about it Birdee
that's it
no i live 10 hrs too far east... of hawaii
can you be naughty and catholic at the same time?
isn't that what Confession is for?
I am catholic ruru!
of course look at all the preistly scandal
ha - H's down
it's only naughty if you're caught
naughty is not the same as degenerate!
well.. that covers that mr. p...lol
yes, you can rest your case!
any help on the A lower right?
OK, since I luv my babble friends I will tell a story. I was raised Catholic my early years. As we were prepared for our first confession, the sisters and the priests kept warning us about "those" thoughts - as in IM6. Fine, so I go to confession, start with the usual I stole a cookie, and then, for whatever reason told the man behind the screen that i had had ______ thoughts. Got assigned a few Hail Marys & Our Fathers. Later I went home all nervous. "Mom, I lied in confession! I said I had an ______ thought and I don't even know what that is!" I don't remember what my mom said, she probably gave me a cookie, but the story was very durable at familty gatherings.
ar7 stid
rofl melon!
thanks hugs *thinking*
stid its a word you know, believe me you'll smack yourself if you take a hint. just turn left at some point. really.
Hi hugabugs..you're in the grid today! or part of you :-)
that's a riot, melon!
mrp, what happened to your arm (or shoulder or what?) i just looked at your profile
thanks melon *my brain is about to explode*
Hi nmyb... oh yeah.. I never noticed

does that about cover it?? LOL!!
well, there goes my brain all over the monitor. I think I will try for that AR 7 tomorrow if I have time. My class is in the evening, I have volunteering in the school most of the day.
nice and succinct, mrp...
oh wow! i thot maybe it was a motorcycle crash or something (from looking at your pix)
Melon - that reminds me of a story about myself when I was in Grade 1. My parents always took us to church. At some point during the mass, I realized there was a line up outside some doors. So I asked my Mom if I could go to the washroom and went and stood in line behind the people waiting at the confessionals.
hehe hug
thanks for all the help. happy new year again! *poof*
happy happy stid, glad to "see" you!
you know i think i remember something about a bone infection... that must have been you?
since i had to google osteomyelitis that is
need a clue for one of the ur words - my last tile
that was me!
so does your arm make that bionic woman noise when you move it? dun dun dun dun dun. i used to do that when i was pretending to be bionic woman as a kid!
well i am glad you have a happy healthy 2009 planned!
Birdee - u + opp of fake

I am going to make that noise just to annoy Lickety!! hahahaha!

Yes, pigeon...disregard the second ar7/36 and the ar8 after it..
:-) Those were the two I was just starting on. ty
I can't find the ar 7 and I know it will whack me in the face in a minute
Will I hate myself if I get a clue for the ar7?
ruru, it is very nasty... not a fish
only if you have im6 thoughts about the ar7
i am stumbling to even pronounce it!
May I have a clue, then?
For the ar7, that is?
my brain is hurting jellen!!
Is there a northern theme in this grid. Quite a few words familiar to this area.
I am new to this. What do the numbers on the actual tiles signify?
welcome greek - the point value for that letter
Thank you.
Welcome, greek
hi greekdiva, jump on in the grid
Can anyone clue the ar7? It's my last blank tile...
ok I need an ar 7 clue so that I can go to bed.

you're right mrp that's too hot
death stare, lol
I would rather rug up than strip off and still be too friggin hot!!!
and the snow we have WILL last until late amrch or april :(
mrp do you have air?
I think our snow will last that long too
It routinely is 110 here in the summer. My air conditioning bill is sky high then.
Yes thankfully west... but this is one bigass house! It takes alot of power to cool this baby down.... so much for not leaving a carbon footprint on the earth
BFM, that IS nasty!
where are you, Big?
thankfully you don't have to use it often
It's better to leave a carbon footprint than just a greasy sweat spot.
Southern California
where are you BFM?
I'm assuming that's not your normal weather mrp
Inland, of course.
phoenix?
normally I can cope with up to 104... but over that, I can't move!
hmph, it as 20 degrees fahrenheit here today... shiver.
never kmind didnt see your so cal answer
But, it's a dry heat. ;)
It was about 56 F here today. Brr!

I am going to park my derrierre in Borders Books Cafe for the day...
I like 80F
I have two of them, west!
we'll be going out to San Diego at the beginning of April that's what I'm ordering
Is nice and cool in there, and lots of trashy magazines and thrillers to flip through.
I don't have any 8's yet but now at least I know what to look for
San Diego is lovely just about any time of year. Have fun!
ooh good idea mrp
I know big daughter lives there now we used to live in Coronado
Ooh, jealousy! I love Coronado.

Could I have a clue for the ab8, please?

hi everyone
just call me the late jilli
hi andree
hi Andree!
Hi, Andree
lots of phantoms here
nmyb are my initials
MrP..I just realized that you are 'downunder' so the seasons are reversed. My DH is from Peru and his family is at the beach !
ty ....NIcholas Michael yan Brown?
its sunny and warm downunder
Nancy Millie Yvonne Battenburger?
..spanner got the gender right and musica is closer to the ethnic background
no spanner the battenburgs are now call Winsors.
Windsors?
Yes.. the royal family changed their name first fron Battenberg, to Mountbatten and then to Windsor. They didn't want to sound german after wwwII.
Hello everyone
Hi, lynxxx!
Hi lynxx
hey lynnxx
Good old QV
What beautiful doggies, spanner and lynxxx!
and don't forget her german Albert!
hi lynxxx
hi Andree, did you have a break over NY?
Our whole race is just a mish mash of different nationalities. It makes me laugh when I hear people going on about being british...I'll bet most people have different ethnic backgrounds if they only dig back a fwew generations
my kids are spanish, ukrainian, german and japanese (and who knows if we dig past the great-grandparents)
i had the time off between christmas and ny, just went to the office a couple of times to check on mail etc, lovely break, started again today
Yes QV's relatives all married into the european and russian dynasties as well as Norway.
Where do you live now nmyb
Good stuff Andree. Have a good '09 - hope you get a couple of buyers knocking on the door
In Japan but I'm from Canada (parents from Ukraine) and DH is from Peru (father from Japan & mother's family from Spain)
U must serve interesting meals at ur house, spanner.
Interesting nmyb. Musica, what makes you think that?
me too lynxxx, then every day will be a day off, lol
it confuses people when my kids say they are from Japan (born & raised here) but they don't look Japanese
I would imagine so.
Then again Cliff Richard was born in India and he still says he is english. Maybe to avoid those funny looks
All those different nationalities ...all have good cooking. I came from Canada also...from Alsace lorrain , Germany,Ireland & Scotland (mixed with some English) and we aloways had varied meals and delicious cooking recipes.
i was born in egypt but call myself an aussie
G'night folks...chat's interesting, but I'm getting tired...
bye jellen
goodnight Jellen
Nitey nite Jellen
close friends are from Sweden but their family are from Sweden, France, Jamaica & Ireland...green eyes, light brown skin & curly black hair..not your typical Swede.
Andree my son moved to sydney in October and is trying to call himself an aussie LOL
i have been here 55 years
I was born in China but background is all Scottish, English, maybe a touch of Irish but the name is English
nite jellen
hope your son is enjoying the weather
Hi Jilli
we are a real melting pot
hi lynxxx
He loves everything about Oz. My daughter is over there too at the moment, but will be leaving in 4 weeks, heading to Singapore, on a round the world trip
oh -- just realised there's no S here
and only one E -- no wonder it's a toughie
an s would make this easier jilli
well I hate to leave Babble but my holidays are over. it's been great to chat & do some brain training..whenever I have time, I'll try to come back for a visit or two..bye for now & hope 2009 is good to you all!!

I'm making chicken soup
mmm soup
I really should go too just trying for NBT before I do
late flip for me... hi all! hi herin, west; hugs jili...
West do you sleep?
Hi Volley
I have 2 ar words that fit into lickety's list but they aren't accepted into the grid (not found in dictionary) - does anyone else have this problem?
is this one as bad as yesterday?
he was just on anike said he removed the extra words try refreshing to get the new list
no idea Volley im not even looking
it's not pretty dee
only one e and no s's
awww just hanging out herin... at first glance seemed that way to me, too, west
trying to come up with a Caribbean island been to most of them
just can't think
I am mostly talking
that can be just as fun
Hi All - hope everyone had a great send off to 2008.
hi dianne was happy to see it go
too cold and snowy to go anywhere
I love the new year full of new hopes and promises
sure wish it didn't start in winter
west - ar+ another word for a dressing gown but with a diff vowel at the end.
I'll try that thank you!
HUGE branches just fell on my roof and woke me up - I saw that I had my computer still on so I decided to look for words until me heart rate slows down.
awwnso sorry you were frightened birdee!
oh no Birdee is everything ok?
glad you are ok
oh my bird are you having an ice storm?
everything absolutely fine except I am WIDE awake
where are you birdee
just rain and wind and not even very much of that right at this moment
Portland OR
I don't blame you
our neighbor up in Maine just had a tree go through the roof of his new addition
arb or
looks like the branches that came off should have been pruned anyway :)
hated our ice storms in jan
in dec
our son and his family were without power for 12 days dee
someone wrote the best poem about it I'll put it in my profile
my 90 year old neighbor just called to make sure that I was alright - she saw my light on and had heard the branches
wow & I complained about 2 days; we ended up at the Ramada Inn for one night... house was way too cold to stay here
they were taken in by her parents along with her brother and his 3 kids
how sweet!
made for a busy household
they were so ready to go home
you have to read the article about your dearly departed president www.smh.com.au
sure makes you thankful when it all works again
looking now mrp
America didn't jump off the cliff - it was Bushed
is it mean? If so, I'll pass; I think he has been trashed enough.
our Nearly departed president
it isn't mean, it is tragic
back again
hi andree :))
ok i must go cook
laters
cya soon
Ill be on later later
bye herin
andree ??
I'm back. Good article and Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish
I think it sums things up quite well west... so it be
sure does
he's completely oblivious
yes mrp, i'm right here
ah good... thought I had missed you
going to find the ice storm poem back in a minute
maybe I am not as awake as I thought - only found one word
hi birdee :) this one is sucky
I've found 90 words but going through molasses now
Hi MrP
hey birdee, can you hear it???
hi MRP & Birdee. Just looked at how many words I have(n't) got - think you are right
the sweet sound of.... babble. No red alert... no hiding.... just .... babble.
hear what? Is someone singing or am I listening to the absence of someone?
Ahhhh the absence of someone
hi lynxx! :))
okay poem about the ice storm is in my profile
is lynxxx here?
I am, I thought you were ignoring me Birdee!
No I only ignore you-know-who
trying to find some words - not working out so well
great poem west
Thats great West - but did it happen to you! 12 days! thats unbearable
no to my son and his family they're investigating now why it took so long
where was this west
their neighbor's pipes burst came home to a skating rink in their kitchen
her father hooked up a generator toward the end to keep the heat on
also Beth lost everything from the refrigerator and freezer
simply awful
the little ones were so anxious to get home for Santa
sounds grim
the grimmest part was 5 kids at her mother's and 4 are under 5 yrs
I'd need to lie down for a while lol
last year my neighbour clipped the power to my house when he was lopping his trees, lucky he wasn't killed, my power was off 12 hours and i was having a fit so 12 days is unthinkable
oh andree he is lucky
what a poem!
someone has a good sense of humor
that poem is a keeper
what else can you do?
this happened to your son?? west
yes mrp and the house we sold a couple of years ago was right in the same area
all we got was rain here in Rhode Island
holy moly and it aint balony!! that should be published
I"ll ask him where he got it maybe it was published in their local paper
I know there were thousands without power
where was this west
anow could such a thing happend h
Fitchburg MA..Worcester..Lunenburg
state government at work
heads are gonna roll
so they should west
there was a water main break in the DC area and they worked around the clock and through Christmas and New Years and got the job done
I'm really going now have fun babbling and go back to sleep bird
poof!
bye West
see ya west
bye west
bye west -
is the br 7 an odd word...
br 7 --- undergarment and pet
ty got it
add 2 vowels to br5
great clue
does everyone else have an ar 7 that the grid won't accept?
which br6 andree?
there is an ar 7 and 8 that are superfluous
Lickety was on b4 and said there was 2 words he took out of his clue list Volley
is there a valid ar 7?
yes
and an 8?
no
ar 7/36
ty... still can't find the 7 :(
ar + carib. island with the second vowel different
wow ty birdee got it right away

*slaps self with salmon*
lol... been there... done that
hey, not the salmon! What do you think I brought that old bass for?
lol
I left the bass in the PB - sorry
once again the chat mentions food
ah well... in that case you are forgiven. *writes down new salmon for shopping list*
an anyone clue the first AND last ro4's?
I used most of the salmon to make those salmon cakes earlier
see we all ways mention food
:)
and the bad side of that is?
unless someone is being tube fed i guess food is a big part of all our lives
None as babble food is non fattening
hi Andree, did you see you were in yesterday's grid?
thinking up food, shopping food, preparing food, cooking food, eating food... yet another day gone by.
cleaning up after making/eating food
I made gnochi bolagnase for dinner
can anyone clue the first and last ro'S
yeah that too.
not to the r's yet birdee
was i sprite, i did not get much past 100 words on yesterdays
Ok im not right in the head. its warm and the door is open but I haven't turned on the aircon
the full 6 letters, Andree. Top side of the grid :)

hugs to all & *poof*
bye Volley, thanks for the offer
bye Dee
hi Mich
bye sweeties
Hi Lynxx, welcome to the Haunted Grid
crup
not valid
I know, what's with me today? Is it just that I am supposed to be working at home today but cannot get down to it?
feelings of guilt can be very upsetting
That must be it.
brang
Mich Get up have a shower. Focus. Think of one thing you can do and do it
lol nope, also not valid
good advice,lady, that is the only thing that works for me on days like that
almost is, change last letter
Good idea, except I just had a shower. I'm nursing my 2nd cup of coffee. Brang isn't a word but it's there and I can't convince my kids it doesn't exist.
so tell them to brang you more coffee!
Even if you go and clean the loo. One small thing
I love it Sprite! Except (Thank GD) they are still in school, coming home for lunch soon which I will use to put off work.
No, lady, I am supposed to be working on work stuff for my job. Today is officially my day off, but I am too behind to ignore it.
well there you are. On your day off, you are supposed to relax. Working on days off is a sure way to burnout. It is your selfpreserving talent that keeps you babbling. Good for you.
Any incoming today. Michnick?
hare
yes, that one is valid, but should be put into the other box
YIKES, OK Now I am going to set up Babble Bar. Nachos with Salsa anyone!
Status quo here BR. Jerusalem is still quiet.
OH pfffffffft. Ok do this 30 min babble for 1 hour. and so on and so forth
Thanks for the support friends!
ok so there WAS a gh word. Finally found my last G.
You have much to be concerned about, Michnick .... perhaps you may need to calm yourself and proceed as you can without disparaging yourself
I have to get downstairs, daughter will be coming home for lunch very soon now. Bye all!
be well, sprite
bye Sprite
bye sprite
trif whispers a quiet good morning/afternoon to you all - i am not really here, just entering a few words whilst waiting for the kids to get ready for the bus
hi Trif
hi lynxxxx - got a seven! oh, i am SUCH a big girl, lol
I'm impressed! (having just 1 myself)
ooooh the dreaded c4 is a phantom today! of course now it is all i can see....lovely
(still whispering) good lawd! "grid-o-phantoms" today!
sure is!
hi
ssshhhhh herin - the kids will hear you!
they that bad
no, not at all. I just get busted by them when I am babbbling so early
hi
hi
hi Chick - is it still nighttime?
hi lyn it is 6:27 am how about with you?
Hi I'm back, I got a phone call. It was work related, does that count?
clues for ab8, please....
be kind to yourself, Michnick, you have much to deal with
10.30 pm Chick - lol, but I meant you black icon
ab 8 -- a + undergarment and pet
i know you're right BR, but somehow that doesn't make all the work go away!
gm
you are making things harder by obsessing
calm yourself --- and proceed when you more comfortable
hello, kj
br - it is as if you never sleep
Happy birthdya KJ
hi kje
OK, no more obesessing. How about another clue for the ab8, I am not getting it.
ty herin
Hey KJE!
Birthday! Happy happy birthday kje!!!
sssshhhhh - I am pretending I am still 44 : )
So.
things are not working for me this morning! My icon is not black on this side I don't know what is going on! Hi KJE..:)
no way, kje - in fact, borrow my tip = tell everyone you are 48 today , and listen to the gasps of shock and compliments over how amazing you look all day long...
ab8 - you can add a to br7.44
lol trif!
ab 8 -- add a speed contest: ***e; pet: c***
Thanks Lynxx, except I don't have the br 7
br7 br*n** of a tree & 2 vowels
aaahhh - ab8 is an anatomical term
age is just a number and the more you have aged the higher the number
true br... but that is not the ONLY effect of aging : )
OK, I got the word but I don't see how pet fits there.
it all gets easier as you get older
KJE its your birfday
how is that lynxx?
Lynxx, what exactly gets easier as you get older?
I wondered too, my daughter said there used to be fast growing pet plants
*can't figure out why herin insists on reminding me about that* LOL
pet is ch 4/6
Ok, I got that, I just guessed and got the ch4
Everything gets easier, the kids grow up, money is easier cause you don't want as much, you become more tolerant of people & life etc...well, in my book anyway
Good Morning Babble. I'm not liking this grid.
hi Kris
guess i am just not old enough yet, lynxx
I have been looking for my last 3 words for over an hour .... getting quite cranky about it
hi kris
and kj, I am not here all of the time, just the time that I am here
You are still very young kje
good to know br
kj is just a young pup
I am ignoring this grid
it isn't heinous, herin (not yet anyway)
kris u here?

Yes Lynn

crossy, if you see black icy crocs, be sure to let us know!
probably snow, snow and more snow Cross
will do!
what a suprise! more snow!
someone put a brilliant sign up here - "free snow" stuck in their front yard, in a pile at least 4 feet deep
We're getting more on um Wednesday I think , quite a few inches
you know,our innuit have over 500 names for snow and now i know why.it was to keep busy while snowed in:é
Good Morning, dear babble friends
shhhhhhhhhh
I love that idea trif, maybe someone can send me some?
YEs lynxx let me think for a sec

howdy merk:)
Thanks! cool idea!

rent
Oh no!
Michnik, My hubby and I were talking at dinner last night about the rockets. He's very well informed about warfare [from an academic point of view]. He doesn't think the Gaza rockets could reach Jerusalem
no, I own thanks
wow 500 words - that must be a difficult language to learn
Bfs im loking now
there is gonna be some tritchy nut case in some 3rd world area going to go off the deep end and let off a dirty squirt bomb that he made in some basement and poison hakf of some country bichon..crazy people
No, he's right, Bich, the trouble will grow if any of the other groups get involved from other places. We are just a stone's throw from Jordan (OK a long throw, but close enough).
thanks lady dont go to any trouble
Sorry Bfs it seems to have gone to crap since i was last there
That is the scary part, Crosshair. They are so many terrorists convinced they are right and willing to die for it. We have been living with that side of it for years already.
no problem
i am very sorry you are in the midst of it mich
There is so much built there now it makes me sad BFS
oh, mich, we are all carrying you in our hearts
Well, thank GD, Jerusalem is not really in the midst of it. My kids come home every day and tell me that new kids from the south are joining their classes.
Mich thinking of you
My husband's coworker has a daughter wo went to Israel to study right before the Lebanon incursion and had to come home as rockets were hitting Haifa and she returned recently to have it happen again [I don't know exactly where in Israel she is]
the U.S and soviets have been at the nuclear game so long that they now realize that there can be no winner,no such thing as acceptable losses in that kind of fighting.what scares me are countries new to the technology who dont yet realize this
sorry all enough doom and gloom,babble time:)
Sorry BFs you ahve me completly stumped
lady i thought/heard that Fraser Island was a deserted sandy island thats what appealed to me! dam those corporations!
no, it's fine crossy, you raise an excellent issue. and we all have mich on our mind today, so of course we are thinking such thoughts
Thank you all for the thoughts. I agree with you, CrossH, there can be no winner.
Have we heard from Ishult lately? OUr other Israeli player
Nope its not. It used to be
all dissagreements should be settled with olympic games;)
mich, is there someone on the board that you are in regular communications with? if you had to leave quickly, is there a way you could let us all know you are at least safe?
oh well.. dont dampen my holiday plans!
GO its very awesome though
Well, mkg is my neighbor's daughter's mother in law. If anything happened here she'd know right away. But I really don't anticipate it getting that bad, not where I am at least.
please understand, I don't mean to overstep. obviously your family would come first, I totally get that, I just know that this is a close community, and I am sure there are folks on here you are friendly with, is all.
Of Trif! You don't overstep, you have no idea how touched I am by your care and concern!
Ishult has been on this last week. ARB, also in Israel, is a regular player but does not chat as much as she used to
i wonder if there is anywhere else on this big old web as lovely and caring as this chog...i certainly haven't found it so
nor i and i have been to some wild corners of the web;)
which is why i come here,it d e-stresses me;)
I know I look forward to checking in and even when I don't participate I love to watch the back & forth of the chat.
mo
67 words in, I am totally gridlocked
p's anyone
I've got 54 and ditto Trif
I'm stuck on these silly O's
found all but the 6
po 4,5 , skin opening po 4,5 put milk in a glass , po 6,24 the person who puts the milk in the glass
pr 4,6 pr** and proper pr 5,14 add a vowel on the end
pu 4, that cat says
purr
did I do that right?
pr 4,5 + 2 vowels pr 4,6 , graduation dance
sorry.
that
that
pb for me.
thats it Katy lol
I do that all the time katy
that's my boy! the pr 5, that is....sorry for the multiple posts....
I get so excited I just type in the wrong place
Does anyone have the Ou 6 ?
foun d it
that's my boy! the pr 5, that is.... I dont get it
pr/4 and proper
pr 5 is what I call my first born son
Kristine, care to share?
I cant fit "pain in my ass"
it's not his real name, just his internet name, or when I want to talk about him and not have him know....
ou* g*** , show with spanky darla and buckwheat
but he is up and complaining about school already
lol and sue
which is just hilarious, as he figured it out years ago, and def when he started latin
Ah ... finished with the a words!
ty Kris, never would have gotten that
Where are the other 8s please.
i have an La 8
merk, one of them is a british worker
yw bich
ooh sounds like i called you a female dog lol
LOL kristine!
Dat not nice lol
but a bichon is a dog isn't it?
No problem Kris. Before we got Bichons I used to think it was a very funny name. People call them Bitchn' frizzes
yes it is
br8.60 starts with a part of a tree - and a similar ab8.60
Thanks for the la 8 clue. And the third one is where?
very good clue lynn
ty
wow, thanks lynn1 that's the 8s for me...
And on my way to the br 8, I got an unusual br 7 thanks to your clue.
Somehow I only have two 7s left as well.
This is an unusual and interesting grid thus far.
the fact that it is "british spelling day" helps a lot with the 7's
Can I have a clue for the 2nd Na please ?
daughter used to have a bichon. it was a very high strung dog.
i think it is the lack of an "s" that makes it so - no plurals means more unique words to find
Katy, that's strange, cause Bichons are the opposite of high-strung. Ours have been very mellow
could be because she had 4 kids running around and the dog was probably scared witless.
they ended up giving her to an elderly lady who did very well with her.
That would do it Katy. Bichons can't be mistreated. They need to be adored
brick a br/5 18
hmmmm. i must have been a bichon in a past life....
This is very important...How do you dry sneakers in the dryer without the door getting kicked open?
lol Trif - and rightly so
sue - chuck in a few dry bath towels
Sue, you can't trust me
dries them faster too
inside a pillowcase
romp
I have that one jaq , i need the second na
cant
Mother Nachur?
go jacq!
oops
hi Une
hey, lynxxx :-)
short for naturally?
lol, morning ladies, am on hold with some dolt at customer services, after half an hour i logged on and wasn't paying attention
thanks Katy
yw
TY all, I have put them in the pillow case and we will see how it goes
May I please have a clue for the 2nd Na ?
time for bus stop shuffle number 2. see you in a while, crocodiles
I just finished my b words, not to the na yet, Kris ... sorry
Katy gave a clue for 2nd na @6.37
ok TY Merk
Oh I didn't realize that was for me , I don;t get it lol
good morning everyone
hi Flosey
Kristine - it's a slang word for naturally
gm flo
kristine, an egg ha***es. change first letter to n.
oh lord TY
yw
lovely flower Flosey
hello everyone how are you?
rty lynxxx, we were without power after supper last night until I woke just a few minutes ago
hi Sheimi
so haven't changed my icon
hello Sheimi
hy lyn
hi flosey
only half concentrating, might leave thiis for the morning, bye everyone
nite lyn
i want to get fireworks, i've never had them before
half way there and time to get to work. cya all later. have a good day/night (whichever is applicable).
night lyn, sleep well
i always get half way and then i'm too tired to do anymore :P
good day to you
bye for now katy, have a good day
hi sue
hi sheimi
bye katy, be sure to come back! xx
canter
sorry, spaced out
okay, canter does not exist in the puzzle though lol
I totally suck at this
only 36 words
where has everyone gone? it's usually busy when i come on here, now it's gone all quiet lol
and dying
urggggg
i have only got three words! i'm the one who sucks!
I'm not usually on this early,
this is a hard puzzle today.. i doubt whether i'll get fireworks this time.. in fact i doubt whether i'll ever get fireworks
it would take a miracle for me to complete this puzzle, although i hope i do because firewors are pretty :D
you will Sheimi, just stay with it,
note - that should be fireworks
lol flosey, i doubt whether i will, it would be nice to though. this would be my first time
ok people, the sneakers are still drying. I put them in the dryer in pillow cases w/the pillows still in them. Figured I would fluff at the same time.
sheimi,ive been here what half a yearÉ and have had fireworks 4 times:é
lol lucky you crosshair
that may backfire on you sue , it might wreck he stuffing in the pillow , depending on what type of filler is in them
lol you put a pair of shoes in a pillow case with the pillow still inside? that's a novel idea lol
Sheimi...stick with it, use the Lickety list and all the great clues given by the experts here! Sometimes it takes us leaving for breaks and coming back to finish..
just be willing to adjust to some obscure words!
lol, i'm determined to do it this time
May I please have a clue for the Hu 6 ? <sorry for begging>
good...go for it!
yes, some words will not be in your dictionary
XDD
even NOT finishing is great fun...just see how many you can get!
Kristine, hu6 !!!!!! Yell it when you finish!!!!!
yeah lol
hu6....hip hip hu6/27
ty lol

too many 'stingers' in this grid

i will say that the b's are easier than expected once you just start making things up... amazing what it will take
kristine... babble is supposed to 'hurt'! otherwise we wouldn't keep coming back every day!
Amen to that mrp !
too early in the morning for me to focus on this; i keep losing track of the fact that i've even got the grid open...
May I please have a clue for the Au 6 ?
au6 borealis
ah ty
yw :-)
how did that clue work (no offence une)!
what?

au6 is also my icon forever

May I please have a clue for the Ar 7 ? <sorry for begging>
au6 - name of town we lived in for 30 years
ah! got it now! sorry for my idiosy
i want to see the northern lights someday
ar7!! that is nasty... thinging.... ar + first vowel + bath towel, but with a diff ending vowel
thinking even!
mrp clued that before.....ar + vowel + bathroom cloak, change 1ist cons
wrong clue
bathroom cloak, change last vowel
odd little word ty
I still can't pronoun the ar7
sorry, mrp! for butting in...as usual my typing is awful
it's a mouthful!
i think it's pronounced phonetically
and i think i spelled that wrong lol
impossible if you've just come from the dentist's!
the pronoun would be "it" mrp
annie, no prob!! I am brain dead! Is 1.15am here! surprised I can still type
kje :=_
it's a bitter yellow powder used in treating skin disease
yep...an it
an it for an itch
speaking of 'it'.... isn't it lovely and quiet in here tonight?? (smiles)

yes une
one up is a loud noise
tx
just one une... and it is loud
Is the 3rd letter of the Ar 6,24 the same as the one above it or is it a double cons,, or the last vowel , I may as well just ask for a clue LOL
ooohhh, thanks

I don't read english knitting... so was wondering
I can read knitting in 3 other languages though
me, too, but Kristine asked for a clue for it, just before fireworks, so thought she had found it
Mary's husband is having eye surgery as we speak--recent issue that developed. (prayers please) The kids are doing well overall, with some very touching, profound comments at times, and the baby started walking 2 wks ago! Ben & Sabrina are fighting cancer!
My prayers and well wishes, scrabs
Good lord, scrabbs...they are still in my prayers and I will add Mary's husband. Hope this all ends happily.
oh no scrabbs! I am sorry, but who are Ben & Sabrina?
And I miss Mary so much..I talk to her frequently throughout the day.
Ben & Sabrina are patients in my practice. Ben has metastatic bone cancer, Sabrina has Hodgkin lymphoma.
Scrabbs..a good friend is missed...it is comforting to speak to her
Just plain awful...so, so sorry
so awful scrabs :(
Scrabbs, How do parents cope with this?
Yep, bad things happen everyday, so we must be grateful for good health and the simple joys of each day.
amen
Parents do what they have to do--become nurses and help their kids fight the fight.
I am enjoying vanilla yogurt right now.
I also like greek yogurt laced with honey

how old are the boys, sue?
Yes, we are addicts.
Well, I must get ready for tennis. Then I work from 1-8. Enjoy the day everyone.
I go around all day wondering how to cool my body! LOL but I agree with you... when you find babble, you find dr.god and his twisted tale of babble inertia

hi trif, eva, babs et al :)
Stop playing Babble and go do something boring!
hiya MrP -- go get yourself some sleep!
hi judi... what boring stuff can I do at 2am??
*walking toward mrp to tuck her in* "lights out, pencils down, keyboards resting!"
helloo mr. p.....i am trying to finish up and get my day started. i have to return some stuff today, which is the task i dread the most. why is returning stuff so hard???
Mmmm... watch the test pattern on the telly?
watching the hopman cup on tv will but me to sleep... it is slovakia vs usa. that should get me off
I always feel embarrassed somehow...like I failed by buying too much, am bothering the clerk with my sad returns, etc. it just always bums me out. hmmm - could be overthinking it? :)
if you're going to stay up, give us some clues mrp!
get me off ??? = put me to sleep LOL
ummmm....that last phrase of yours mean something a LOT diff over here,
penny dropped! LOL
LOL, Mr. P. Your sleep deprivation is starting to show.
and btw, THAT induces sleep
so.... I should be tapping on Lickety's shoulder?
*I* was going to let that one slip by, un-commented on...
not his shoulder, dear, no
Don't worry about returning stuff, Trif. I was at the mall yesterday (don't ask me why) and people were walking IN with bags and bags of stuff to return. You are not alone.
hahaha!! love it trif!!
thanks judi. i just put it off and put it off, and it needs to be done...
any clues for the 8's or 7"s or starting letters..don't have any yet!
worst is that I have some liquor to return to the store where I bought the NYE supply. what is a bigger sign of being a loser than overbuying booze?
I have an La8.
AB8/60, LA8/55
theres another 8, but i dont have it
and the only 7 i have is LA7/36
*blinks dumbly* I didn't know you could over-buy booze.
ok, I will 'retire' to my 'chambers' and bid you all 'fairwell and adieu'. Poor Lickety, he is in for a rough night of 'parlour' trash.... pray for him! Love you all and good night!!!
thanks for the la7!
there is an ab8, and an ab7, an ar7, a br 7, a br 8, and an ha 7.
judi, I bought a lot of champagne, and didn't end up needing so much, as people brought a lot, so i am bringing the overs back, as I need the cash more. i am never going to drink 5 bottles of champagne
thanks..now have the ha7!
nite nite all ;)
do br 7 and 8 have anything to do with br 6/30?
sweet dreams mrp!
um, sort of
babs, has a latin ending
(poof) night all :)
there are 2 br 6/30...
which br6/30, there are two
have a tree one pab
hi again all
babs, the other one is a br**** of conduct or ethics or even birth...
the other br6 is backward birthing
thanks amel!
yw
but the 8 goes with the one you already had... ~:-D
just got the br8
Best to return the champers then, Trif. Lord knows, if I had that much, I'd only drink it. If it's not around, no temptation.
Protesting: ancho is a chile pepper.
I'm with you, Judi... ancho should be accepted
And "churro" is a dessert. I guess Babble doesn't speak spanish.
i agree, judi, that is why I am taking it back! I don't want it there, calling to me....
so many stinkin phantoms today!
True that, Eva. Must. Not. Type. "Mirror". Again.
no kidding, huh? most phantoms ever!
mirror. orchard. probable.
still a newbie here....Phantoms??
fireworks
words that look like they are there, but aren't
congrats, inge!
beach -- phantoms are words that you *swear* are in there, but really arent
woot for inge
carlee, are you babbling at work?
yes...why?
Arboreal, porch...
and the dreaded c4 word....
ahhh....like mirror.... I keep insisting it's there
No reason. Which flag is in your icon?
hello
Palastinian..
nice flag carlee
Why dont they get rid of Hamas and then we will all live in peace
thanks harp
hamas won in a democratic election....its who the people there elected...we been preaching democracy.... now we have to deal with who won in a democratic election
i just started a few minutes ago but something tells me this one is tricky?
It is for me...
it is, harp, it is
more phantoms than actual words, for me...
back in a few...
OK, when is their next election?
well said carlee, do you think the babble community would have a better chance at solving the problems in the middle east, or should we leave it to the politicians?
harp and beach, there is no s today, so more unique words to find, and LOADS of phantoms....it makes it quite tricky
Remember when a section of West India voted in the Communist, and out again two years later. That was in the 50's I think., But it can be done
good thing it's relatively small, huh tri?
a relatively good thing, yes :)
Now I have to look up some of these NEW words
21 words and i'm ready for the list....lol
inge, is there an ar 6/24? if so, could you clue it?
fuq - i can clue it, if you don't mind me instead of inge....it is ar + steal + first vowel
sorry, fuquay, I answered an email and missed your question. did you get trifoioso's clue?
tyvm! got it
good job!
still missing a ton of c words -- are there any chr ones?
strangely, no
good morning/afternoon, everyone :) *splash*
morning nan! 2 left for me, and then I have to go do dreaded, dreaded errands...never been so hesitant to finish, lol
darn. one left....
howdy all
howdy!
Hi briefly!
MG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi mg
the first half was easy -- now for the slogging!
I am just livid: we are avid House fans and were very excited that 13th Street is showing lots of epsodes. Recorded some we haven't seen in a while, watched them-- they were censored!!!!
clue for the ab7? is it related to the 8?
Ah, Fireworks at last.
in what way? language, content, etc?
congrats, judi
yay judi!!!
Some of the more graphic imagery.
is 13th street a public channel, or a govt owned one?
Cable only. We are talking a dedicated thriller channel after kids' usual bedtimes and everything. I wrote thema letter.
Plus they cut things the Dutch public stations wouldn't have, so that's not an issue anyway.
i am glad you did so.
Wow, Monkey. I watch House all the time. Can't remember much graphic imagery. Seen a few bloody noses. House doesn't really go for the gross-out too often.
ab? -- don't have any ab words
House is no where near as bad as CSI. Constant gore there.
They cut the pan-down to show diarrhea on a bed in the radiation sickness one, they cut the guy's eye swelling out in the big-toungue-guy one. Couple other things.
skooj, that is the word I am stuck on too - my last one!
I never got into CSI...
ab 8 -- a + undergarment and pet
honestly, ick. I am not sure I would *want* to see those things, anyway...
ab7? is it related BR?
Well, not as such per se and all, but they are brief and integral...
ohhh, trif...it's driving me mad
ab 7 -- add a nuclear *****or
Not like they zoom in or anything... and they cut off dialogue to cut them out.
i don't want to find it. I don't wnat to do my stuupid errands
Oh, Trif - ya big whimp. Good for you for writing a letter, Monkey.
lone right column R?
BR...ty!!!
*giggles* Imagines Dutch censors bleeping out House saying "pooh".
ty monkey and bab rab
something funny here, mg, is that when reruns of ER (my personal fave) is on, they don't have subtitles for the dialogue that isn't in english. makes for a loooong episode, sometimes!
I pointed out that we will not watch their channel again-- which will not be hard as House is the only redeeming thing they have ever shown,but I saw fit not to mention that detail.
They did that here with something or other the other day, Trif, with lots of Thai in it...
Can you watch it online, Monkey? Doubt it's censored there.
re 5 ---- and second thespian performance
Despite listening to my Thai co-worker on the phone all day I don't understand a syllable of it! You'd think they'd subtitle in ONE of the languages I read well...
nope... off the upper R BR... everyone I try is coming off that upper R!
BBC america has gone down the loo here, that is for true. they used to have a great variety of diff shows, but now it is all gordon ramsay and how clean is your house. total snooze. oh, and cash in the attic, five episodes in a row! visual valium
Yeah, we could do that. It was just noice to have something on TV for a change.
visual valium - LOLOL
Now Gordon Ramsey is someone who gets censored a great deal. Talk about potty mouth!
:)
Oh, and here they also tend to put subtitles in the same place on the screen... so if someone is speaking Japanese or Spanish or something, and it was originally broadcast somewhere English-speaking, they put the Dutch right over the English so nobody can read any of it!
oh, he is just the WORST. why give such a person a platform?
that is awful, mg! how frustrating!
any hints for the ou6, please?
ou6 - like the big monkey
like the big primate that isn't black
I know, Trif. He's so vicious. They must pay the Kitchen Nightmare "victims" very handsomely to put up with his tirades.
thanks trif and kje...great clues
i just don't think that sort of verbal abuse is necessary, or appropriate in the workplace, or anywhere else, really
kje, that r is like what you do to an itch, minus the sc
yay - TY fuq!
Yes. He does take it too far. I can't imagine actually working for him. All his employees must be in therapy. Post-traumatic Gordon Syndrome.
Starting to feel a tad warmer now.... had to bike from work to Walter's school (1/2 hour) and then home with him (20 minutes) and it is -3 with a wind out there. At least Walter was wrapped in sheep skin and fleece. I was not.
oh dear. fireworks. sigh
ra 5 -- r + cabbage p[a]***
Poor Trif! You can do it!
congrats, Trifioso
YAY, TRIF!
congrats trif
thanks. oh gads, now I can't avoid the rest of my day. sitting here all warm and cozy is so much more attractive than going out in the cold...
Hang in there!
Hello (=
and I have yet to discover how to take a hot shower and towel dry whilst remaining in the nice warm water....
Geez, Monkey. Your eyeballs must have frozen.
it is SO COLD out there
Hiya, Smukk!
Yeah, Walter and i just went through that one, Trif...
How old are you Judi ?
Eyeballs did indeed feel rather brittle. Supposed to be much colder tomorrow. How cold is it THERE, Trif?
i am not sure exactly, but it is pretty cold. 20 or 30 maybe. not bike riding weather, anyway
When I said -3 that is of course Celsius; it's 26.6 F out there.
maybe 22
Sounds like we're in the same boat.
it is 30 F here... which feels much colder since it was 80 on Saturday... my body is in shock
on new years day we had the crazy folks going swimming in the waters around the city (almost went in the PB!) and it was all of -11 F
i literally heard my feet say, WTF!, this morning
80!!! is that anywhere near normal?
That is a shocking transition, kje! I'm surprised people's bones didn't just shatter.
no, it was above norma;
lol kje
though normal for dallas is a moving target - it is normal to go hot cold hot cold, etc
we have black ice coating everything, and the sunlight is that weak grey color. so despressing
did you get the lone r, kj?
yes, we have a saying here kje "if you don't like the weather in new england, wait a minute"
yes, TY br
it is no longer lonely
Wow. At least our sunlight is an oblique yellow and the sky has been that scrubbed-steel blue I find pretty, with a lot of swans flying around for some reason.
hey, we say that too trif
so br... i am going to be nosy... how old ARE you? you are always saying you are ancient, but I always had it in my mind you were in your late 50s-60s
okay, I just can't put it off anymore. off to 'add value" oh, and I have our fun-time trip to the marriage counselor to look forward to tonight. sigh. I HATE going
hope it is works out, trif
60
Sigh indeed! Well, hang in there and just get it all over with!
LOL - that is so NOT ancient
younger than all my patients
being 60 works for me -- also, 50, 40 and 30!
in dog years
that would be 180, cyber!
okay, poofing. kisses all.
BR! brat
OK, I must also be off. Must make something with huge amounts of chili peppers to help Danny deal with walking home from the train station in this. Have fun, everyone!
with corneal edema
should have said, "50, 40 OR 30"" :)
so you've said br... so sorry... hopefully they'll find something to help... can you get a corneal transplant?
going to volunteer for the firing squad
nah... go to wilmer at hopkins... go get a corneal transplant... less dramatic than a firing squad, but allows you to live, so may be the better option
40 left
64 left here, but off to the grocery store first -- bbl

ty fuqua for the ab7.. hi Babblers, back from a jury summons.. excused bc the prosecutor is on drugs for a back problem..

you can be jurist here - any clue disputes
yay.. much more fun than drugs, kje
hi peri

happy birthday old lady...
good morniing again - managed a couple more hours of sleep
A Stradivarius is a stringed instrument built by members of the Stradivari family, particularly Antonio Stradivari. The name "Stradivarius" has also become a superlative applied to designate excellence.
Thanks for thinking of me, kje...

Ask yourself the following questions every day: 1. What am I thankful for today? 2. What did I learn today? 3. Where did I do a good job? 4. Who was I valuable to today? 5. How did I take care of myself today?
just finished a BLT, but thanks car.ee

How is everyone this fine (bleh) Monday?
thanks for the ab8 clue.
oddly, we have a weird latin word for arms and also one for legs, today
thinking about canceling today for lack of interest
1. i am thankful the day is half over. 2. I learned i want t o be retired. 3. I did a good job being civil to my replacment. 4.. I am valuable to him because he can look at my smugly each tie he passes my cube. 5. I took care of myself by visiting babbllonia.

just been up at sister's for the weekend
that was hard work!
Oh Im sorry to hear that Ata
she was in a foul mood all weekend - she needs a transfusion, she always gets pissy when she needs a transfusion!
sorry to hear Ata
I really hope that this is the year that she will start getting better
she's a brat. we're used to it!
You dont mean that really Ata LOL
Sounds fair enough. Hi Ata - beautiful work! Morning everyone
Morning lynxxx
lol oh I do. most of the time lol. she spent the whole of yesterday sulking and refusing to talk to me because I could fit into a pair of trousers she couldn't
lololo, I know how she feels and Im not ill!!
but you wouldn't sulk and refuse to talk to me for HOURS!
its just constantly like that - whatever you say to her from dawn to dusk is guaranyteed to cause ISSUES
tr 6 -- The Mariana Tr**** (or Marianas Tr****) is the deepest part of the world's oceans, and the deepest location on the surface of the Earth's crust.
(((((((((Ata))))))))) she would be lost without you
that really hurts Ata
I love her just as much whether she's being a brat or not, its just tiring
yes, more exhausting than a day's work
Ata I know it doesnt help, but my mum is like that all the time
or tr6 coat - obligatory wear for flashers

tough grid for me
I found it so as well peri
for all of us I think Peri
feelind discouraged, need to find part time work but do not want to do what I did for over 20 years and not sure what area to pursue.
how encouraging, I'm just starting!
exotic dancing?
*feeling* even. I like giving Reiki sessions but not making enough money
Hi and bye peri.Time for me to cook I will see you all tomorrow, take care and keep warm, bye
it happens everyday, I always find the words the last place I look
LOL, Ata, not at my age
by for now Caitlyn, have a good day
be well, cait

clue for A in right bottom corner and R above it please
anyone can do it! I watched a prog on TV a few weeks ago about a lap dancing club filled with women of - um - maturing years
really? wish I had seen that, Ata
um. professional gambler? mountaineer? florist?
that's ar7 peri will have to think a bit
aww. thanks for the suggestions, Ata :-)

If the idea is to make money .. most any job will due
ah, good clue BR
*giggles* sorry. not very hepful. but actually, it was an interesting programme - I've never seen ladies with such utter self-awareness and humour in their situation
yes, the idea is to make money, just want something that I will like
won't know till you try it
not a life sentence can change
see? BR agrees with the lap dancing LOLOL
thanks got the ar7
LOL re lap dancing
My mom lives with me and the last few days have been hell. at 58, i have suddenly lost the ability to do anything right.
oh joey, I sympathise!
i am sure you do. and i appreciate it a lot
not even sure what area to choose, all the websites I log onto ask me to choose an area of interest. I was a medical social worker for over 20 years and I DO NOT want to do that again. But would like to use the skills and talents I have doing something else
life coaching? that could include reiki
Thinking of doing some kind of temp work but had trouble with the manpower website. will try again later
would have to train to be a life coach but that is an idea
ra5/14, rodent + to **ch his own
life coaching always sounds like such a wonderful job
need a way to get clients, Ata
if you want to go thru a rather lengthy process that is the best I have seen at helping with job concerns, go here: http://www.cdm.uwaterloo.ca/index.asp
that clue is not working for me, flosey
thanks, BR, will check it out
BR, have you used that site?
ra5 rodent and to ea** his own

TY! Many new words for me today1
I am exhausted! Time to pick up and get these boys to bed so I can get some sleep too! Have a great night y'all!
G'night, car
g'night, car! be well :)
Back for my last 6 -
nitey nite car
Can anyone clue la 7/36 and 8/55 and the last la 5/14?
beautiful wheel, birdee!
la7= one who works
la8 = one who works also
i have la8, what are the other 8s please
la8= one who works, Brit. spelling
la5= la + undergarment
ty, jellen, for that one
ab8 - latin arm
oooh la la ! thanx jellen
ab8; br8
oh shoot i have that seain, what is the br8
now to find which last three I need
br8= Raisin Br**, cereal + the plant pet
jellen have you been here all day? while I have been teaching little ones?
oh thanks jellen poo
Yes, most of the day I've been lolling around...
Nice!
brang is a word where i grew up.
After I finish I am going home and putting on jammies - the first day back is a little tiring esp. ending the day with a parents meeting
How did the meeting go?
Was it all your fault?
It was fine - the parents are VERY young and we came up with some good ideas like "trying a regular bedtime of 7:30) and ""reading to her before bed to settle in" and "packing some protein in her lunch"
It, of course, started out as all my fault
and she will be my helper at recess preparinmaterials for the next couple of weeks
Goodness! They do sound young!
preparing materials (rolling balls of yarn and chatting) they are very early 20's and doing the best they know how to do
may that the meetting helps both at home and at school, birdee
I am also going to meet with the mom after school and teach her how to knit with her daughter sitting by us so I can model some normal social skills
it all helps
oh, wonderful, birdee :)
You certainly are going the extra mile for them...
since I teach a non-academic " subject I get a lot of leeway
fireworks for me!!!
Yay, littlebit!!!!
Yahoo - littlebit
congrats, littlebit!!!

hi all
Hi, Dorens!
holy cow, jellen...popular???
jellen that is what the search button is for
7
Junk mail, mostly...I read the headings, but never get around to deleting them...
I updated my profile to include PB as a babble term
another 15 words and I can list (now have 68 words...how are you doin' over there mrp?)
Jellen, hate junk mail!!
what is pb?
Being summoned to dinner...back later!
68 over here
PB = Penalty Box (an imaginary place we send ourselves when clueless!)
I have to point to each tooth so my kid brushes them...arg. he is 8
mrp...we seem to be on a roll!!!
:(
but I am SIT
Still in Training

70
80 :)
clap clap clap for holly
I am there, because it is the perfect time for me to have chocolate
mrp...what'd you do????
oops
it's almost always the perfect time for chocolate here
the h's were not that hard!
always!
all four letter babblets
they weren't???
ar5,12
yah holly
nah..... not when I first wake up in the morning, pini
Hi dorens! did someone say chocolate?

works for me anytime!! LOL
I cant find any words
cr's are weird
Who's got chocolate?

can't help with the vegemite toast, but i do have tea
phone call...brb
lbd...i'm usually down to the last 50 or less
ar6,27 please?
faith, like the ar7, but without the second vowel
mmmm vegimite
Brit spelling of the boat dock
oops, mine was for the ar6.24
A lot of the words ending with OR can be extended with adding the other vowel to it
that's the 6,24 dawger, isn't it?
3
Forward, if you have the ar5/14...add another vowel
back...it's all over but the tater tots...
yeah, sorry about that, faith. ar6.27, add 5th vowel to the ar5, and spell it like the brits
go mixi go!
go mixi!
Jellen, did you get the laundry done?
2
Oops, left a load in the washer...will get it after I eat...
wow give me another hour and the bottom of my email bin will be gone
mixi...where in NC are you?
Chapel HIll
ar 6/21 Please?
My daughter is in Fayetteville
which one ru?
ar6, the second, is ar + walking stick
either or
ar+ sugar comes from beets or ****
1
then change the last letter to a vowel
ar6, the first, changes the last vowel
thanks jellen!

i think spending 15mins on the stairmaster may have been a dumb idea
what are you doing in Bozeman? vacation?
aawww how sweet (or sad, can't decide)!! lol
g + H****son Ford, actor
my legs feel like lead now
(((((monkey)))))
after 15 minutes... stairmasters can be tough
visiting friends...going to Yellowstone...and Big Sky...freezing and drinking a lot..
Did you do that while drinking, lil?
15 minutes on stairmaster is always a good idea monkey. they will feel better, and you can feel virtuous for having exercised
just the thought of a stairmaster makes my legs feel like lead
(personally i hate stairmasters!)
i did 2 miles on the treadmill too, at 10% incline
Jellen, I WISH
go monkey, go!
jellystone! lots of earthquakes going on down there lately, over 500 since friday
I don't think I would qualify for virtuous..
I walked all over town with a friend
*loud guffaw*
i did all that exercise BEFORE i cam e home and started guzzling wine
no
*barely muffled laughter*
wow, monkey... a new years resolution?
can anyone clue either or the bo6,24s?
well obviously, monkey! you sure wouldn't do it AFTER the wine
I feeel the earth move under my feet..

I wish I had some snow - 65 here
i have feet of snow here, mrp. you're welcome to it!
sorry! you don't want the 95% humidity that is going with it
I WANT SOME SNOW!!!!!!
ouch, mr p...
well noat really but philly is THAT humid - it's a sweatbox!
million dollar question ... if one can be more pu 4/6 (untainted) why can one not be more im6??
I WANT SNOW TOO!
Please tell me you're air conditioned, mrp!
trying to send snow to lexi
well, dont come here then lex, I'm almost as hot as Mr P.
it is
Yikes! Watching the news, Wedgwood, Waterford, Doulton combo filing for bankruptcy!
knitter - try again
packing up snow from front yard and mailing it to mrp and lex
Hi, AK
hi knitty
Yeah *running to mail box to wait for snow*
yes jellen... I am a green person, woman of the earth.... don't want to leave a carbon foot print etc etc... BUT STUFF THAT TODAY! Aircons are on full blast in every room!
same her wit the snow ak -- my car is stuck in it.
Wow, jilli!
ak, that's a good question, i think im6 to the extreme is icky
jili at their store i was told their china was now to be made in indonesia
natural airconditioning on here!
I was supposed to go out to two meetings today.... yah wanna know what I did??
**taps foot - looks for mail man***
mrp, you could seriously die without it in that weather, and your rotting corpse would be much less green than the ac
sorry about the typos -- can I blame my keyboard?
china made in indonesia and still called china .. hmmmm
rang them and told them they can come to me! I ain't moving out of my cool air! They actually agreed!
jilli, blame away!
TO, that's heresy!
and a stinky corpse too!
jilli...tyops!
oooh I had a patient today with gangrene, it was very "green"(well black ) and smelly, put the ac on mrp and let it blow.
well i believe traditionally it was made in england, right jili?
YUCK - TMI TMI TMI!!!
ewwww red
yet still called china
this type of heat ... without water, you would perish in 3 hours
absolutely, TO!!!!!
nothing like the smell of the old green gang
LOL red!! I certainly will darling! charming gangrene!
well "let's use the good indonesia" doesn't have the same cachet
oh yuk in all directions
just makes you wanna hu4
**Someone is spreading TMI like a bad STD!**
lol TO
red, do you see many patients who are young with gangrene?
LOL TO
sorry, I'm afraid I started it...
No mrp its rare, but possible.
HEY didn't have that cone thanks lbd
I think mrkii, it was me.
hello all! I give up on this stinker with 43 left
My best friend David, got it when he was 32
is this a diabetic?
baaaad. nrkii!
brb
okey dokey...I wanna get some sleep last night was torture!
it was an undiagnosed diabetic. I know they amputated her toes, very possibly her feet, young too.
hi tyops! erhm, Jilli
no, no, I started with the rotting corpse reference... because I watched an old episode of Bones tonight just before Babbling
he had to have his hand sewn to his groin to regrow the flesh they had to remove, and then skin graft from his legs.
Later, jilli...
bye jili
He sounds lucky mrP.
isn't that a man's dream? hand attached to groin??
I probably should not have commented.
bye jilli
Bye, lex?
WAAAH?? mr p?
so red, here's my medical question of the day...
*spits iced tea all over keyboard*
he successfully beat the gangrene, then had an aneurism and hit his head on the kitchen table. Died at 33. I lost a wonderful friend.... and he was doing so well!
I think it is good bye - I guess I am talking myself into bed time
I have been having all this bad joint pain in my hands... and my doctor ran blood tests for RA, Lyme, and other stuff... all came back fine... am I happy or just annoyed?
sweet dreams, lexi
nite nite lex :))
oh wow mrp, that's just awful
Wasn't sure, lex...Sleep sweetly, then...
night lex
You are very happy nrkii.
how sad, MRP.
nrkii, you might be having problems with circulation.
good night all -
ooh nrk- at least tell me your shoulder is better
***POOFITY POOF POOF POOF***
it was very very sad. My son was born the same time, taking a new born to a funeral was sobering
oh, I do have circulation problems -- I have raynaud's... maybe I just need more wine?
evenin babblers!
could it be carpal tunnel, nrk?
okay red, if you say I am happy, then I'm happy :)
Hi, Eva
Hi Eva
shoulder is improving every day TO
BYE LEXLEEANNE! hi evaN
It could be the reynauds aggravated by all the recent manipulation...etc. but be happy because you dont want those things.
hi Eva
nrkii, I have the same issue with my legs, it is a side effect of morphine with me, and it takes ages for the crap to get out of my body.
ru5/12 before the opp of urban?>ty
red, my dad has RA and I have psoriasis... I'd almost be relieved to get an RA diagnosis
dang. was gonna babble for a bit, but the dear BF is almost back home....seems i need to put on some shoes to help him unload the car...
ru + Santa *** winds
well i had an abdominal ultrasound and it appeared to trigger cramps just when i thought i was getting well - is that possible to be that tender?
didn't I say brb? Here I am again -- just had to take a little break to get more "Flavor Blasted Extreme Cheddar" Goldfish to accompany my vodka, lol
hi and bye Eva... come back soon!
Well, you may end up with RA in the end, but...for now.
one thing I didn't count on with rearranging my appointments to come here??? I have to clean! arrrrrrrgh!
Nice to see you, Eva
welcome back Jilli
jilli are the little fishies swimming in the vodka
you're right of course red...
I know the feeling though nrkii, of wanting to know whats wrong...
did pini finish?
Thought it was a worm...
I think I need a drink, but I've been so bummed out I hate to add alcohol to the equation... plus, taking a sleep med in 2 hours, so alcohol prob not good idea
No, that's tequila...
jilli, have you tried vanilla vodka??
I've had well controlled RA since 1994
vanilla vodka sounds good

A very loud, unattractive, hard-faced woman walks into Kmart with her two kids in tow, screaming obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. The door greeter says, 'Good morning and welcome to Kmart, nice children you've got there. Are they twins?'
The fat ugly woman stops screaming long enough to snarl: 'Of course they bloody aren't! The oldest is nine and the youngest is seven. Why the hell would you think they're twins?..... Do you really think they look alike, you d*ckhead?'
hi all
'Absolutely not,' replies the greeter, 'I just can't believe anyone would screw you twice!'

hi all, fwiw pini I don't have it either and I'm not any clearer tonight. =)
besides you push thru one crowd it isn't any worse than another.
Eva - do you live int he DC area? I do and I plan on watching it all from my couch on my Hi-Def tv.
YES!!!! thanks Jellen!
i ride rush hour trains everyday. it will be heinous.
jindigo -- i live in bethesda
I'll be down at the Meeting house providing respite from the cold
Eva - just stay there. It's going to be CRAZY.
hello flying dog - looked at your website last night, and I saw the notice about chicken strips. sure enough ours were from china. dog will need a new treat source!
i would imagine anybody that can possibly take the day off work will do so!
JM - good for you.
oh, i KNOW.
Need a different clue, o2?
and the R from the right column please?
I went to the millinium and had a blast
hey stid- yep, that's kind of scary, I used to feed those to my dogs all the time
the federal government already closed. executive branch, anywho.
it is a federal holiday here so pretty much everyone gets the day off
r + down the h**** (drink quickly)
sorry Jell, I was distracted let me focus a moment
I will provide respite at my house for anyone who wants it. I plan on having lots of snacks and cider.
I am worried that it may be the cause of the purple rash (which is getting better since we stopped the dog food he used to eat)
So does that mean those of us in Montana won't be able to call the Department of the Interior for a day?
stupid GAO hasnt announced anything yet, though. they will close that day, but theyll wait until the last possible moment to announce it.
got it, thanks Jell!
JM - i work the Montgomery County - its not a holiday.
That makes it a four day weekend, right?
how old is the dog, stid?
I'll be sitting at home, on the couch, watching...3 hours later than those on the east coast...if TV works the way it normally does...
YES! halfway and no blank tiles. thank you so much, lecture is starting again. will see you-all tomorrow!!!!
Bye, stid...
Pink - i would think it would be live world wide
wtg and bye stid
oh -- he just turned 5 - he is a normally healthy german shepherd, and the itching is getting better already.
night stid!
Bye Stid
ok, if he's getting better no worries-- if he starts vomiting get bloodwork done asap
with 89 to go - i am heading to bed. Night all *poof*
could someone please put me out of my misery and clue the bo6's?
thanks flyingdog. I will. (((hugs))) see you-all soon! *poof*
bye jind

we were sick during our last storm and our sidewalk is like a skating rink. hope we can get to it when it warms up!
Are you right on the river?
nope, there is a small creek that runs thro our town but that's about it. other than the small puddles that form in my basement
we're going to Lochsa Lodge this weekend, by Lowell. Highway 12 is closed just after Lowell so it's lucky we aren't going any further!

I was in California this summer, does that count as west?
omg i only have 10 to go! it's a miracle1
woot, harp!
in all but attitude =)
i was in southern Colorado a few years ago, and I considered driving across the okl. panhandle to Texas. Strictly so that I could say I'd been to two more states....
Barely missed meeting ruru...he was on the grounds of the resort where I was staying, but I wasn't there at the time...
not worth the drive, imo, harpjane! =)
Agreed, o2
well i think it would have looked a lot like southern colorado, right?
That's desolate country...
southeastern colorado, yes, and pretty icky
we're going to the ozarks, which will be near oklhaoh
oklahoma
Where in the ozarks?
well south WESTERN colorado is incredlble!
yes indeed it is very beautiful in SW colorado
We have relatives in Fayetteville Ark, and will probably go to Branson or something touristy with them, and then head into either the something or other river in northern Ark, or the Buffalo something wilderness in MIssouri.
Haven't been there, either...closest I've been is northern Arizona and New Mexico
(Do you think I need to do a little more research?)
nah, just let someone else be the tourguide
well that's fine until you start hiking.....
Maybe a little more research...Branson's only 2 hours from me...
heh, carry your own map!
um, yeah, that's sort of what I mean by research...
Fayetteville's 1.5 hours away...
my kind of research, buying a map!
I'm actually looking forward to seeing Branson, sort of like "checking off one more American monstrosity" on my life list!
You're pretty close then, do you have any hiking recommendations?
heckuva list
I think there
We went to Branson a few months ago for the outlet malls...Avoided the tourist traps...
's a world's largest prairie dog out here somewhere... always missing that apostrophe
Sorry, I'm not a hiker, although I know there are lots of places to go...
I like good music of all kinds so I'll enjoy Branson. I'll just have to find the GOOD music
I heard there's a waterfall in the Ozarks that shoots straight out of a hole in the mountain during high water. Glory Hole I think is the name.
Sounds cool...
brb
one left, shoot my now....
go harp!
nodding off, gnite all, *poof*
G'night, o2
shoot me now, i mean
I'm a pacifist, so no shooting around me, please!
by the way, from now on when i am at a loss for words i plan to pound on my chest.
?? Okay...
That is how gorillas establish dominance so i thought I'd give it a try. It's my only new year's resoluation
That
is an interesting resolution, lol.
well, i've been making the same 6 "personal growth" resolutions since i was ten, so what's the point?
Gee, Harpjane, I thought that was my last husbands own thing.....
I should formalize my New Year's resolutions, so one can clearly delineate when I break them...
no gapeach, he got it from the gorilla world!
Chest pounding, I mean.
I'm kidding.
Sort of.
lol, peach
Just couldn't help it, Jellen.
My ex-husband turned into a lawyer...
just another way to establish dominance?
He'd dominate by talking you to death...
Oh, yeah!
Exactly, harp!
Tim's talking to one of my cats...so cute...
well, morewords and I finished this stinker
