12:42 am

ditto re the eq7

very interesting jili; thx!

12:43 am

did you know, dee?

parts of it sounded familiar, so I was wondering if I have seen a movie or documentary about him

12:44 am

Could I have some remedial assistance on the eq7? I'm stumped...

12:45 am

it was so joyous -- the whole audience singing "hi-de-hi" and "ho-de-ho" and laughing

12:45 am

same here jellen

12:45 am

I would love to have seen Cab Calloway, jilli!

12:45 am

royal horse guard

12:45 am

jellen - think upper crust horsey set

12:45 am

qJellen - q5.20 means a question - use with the e and double the cons

that's the part that I was thinking I saw on TV or in a movie... I'll have to look it up on netflix

12:47 am

Thanks, lynxxx, would not have found that!

12:47 am

eq7 -- an officer of the British royal household who attends the sovereign or other member of the royal family.

1:19 am

go jellen go!!!

1:19 am

oh that's right -

1:20 am

my tom just brought me ice cream and choclit

1:20 am

but I did get Blink out of the library the other day

1:20 am

your Tom is a dreamboat, stid

1:20 am

aha! got an 8/9

1:20 am

What is BLink about - had we talked about it??

1:20 am

*googling Blink*

1:21 am

stid, can tom bring us some? lol

1:21 am

Aha "The power of thinking without thinking" do you like it

1:21 am

yes, he is. he is lovely. I am the second-luckiest woman ever. (after jill)

1:21 am

same author -- the power of thinking without thinking

1:21 am

I have enough to share... *passes out bowls of ice cream and choclit*

1:22 am

thinking without thinking? LOL sounds like MY kind of book! *giggle*

1:22 am

haven't got into it, birdee, but so far so good. Also reading Love Over Scotland (Alexander McCall Smith), must get it back to the lobrary!

1:23 am

you're luckier, stid -- you still have him

1:24 am

I just read an online excerpt from Blink and it is now order from my library

1:24 am

library *sigh, typoitis again*

1:24 am

phantom: guerrilla

1:24 am

I hope we have as long together as you and trev did, jill. I wish trev were still around...

1:24 am

I love it that I can look up books and order them to be sent directly to my house from the public library!

1:25 am

Wow, that's a great service, Birdeee!

1:25 am

wow, nice library, birdee!

1:26 am

stid -- we only had 49 years.

1:26 am

bird do you have a bookmobile?

1:26 am

Birdee -- to your house? in L.A we can order & pickup at the library -- but, to your house!!!!

1:26 am

that's 31 years more than us! that's a while, jill.

1:27 am

our library has a service like that for shut-ins, but nobody else!

1:27 am

not a bookmobile and you can also designate them to be picked up at your closest branch but for $100 (that I pay when I am at the library the next time) they are actually mailed right to your house.

1:27 am

we used to be able to get books mailed to houses -- about 30 years ago, the state was mostly rural. Now that most people are in the cities they don't do that so much.

1:27 am

Hah not $100 but one dollar

1:28 am

Our postage rates are so high you'd never get a book mailed for that little

1:28 am

thought that was a little steep

1:29 am

I think it is a special library rate but I don't really know - I just take advantage of it

1:29 am

oooh. found the other 9

1:30 am

what does the other 9 start with? i have the re

1:30 am

anyway, our island is small enough that people can easily pick up their own books. We also have an Interlibrary Loan service

1:31 am

ca Jenocide, hi

1:31 am

well, $100 for a year would be not too bad - it costs me around $20 to get a cab to the library, wait while I go in then bring me home, and that's every week.

1:31 am

hi Stid' like the short hair cut, it really suits you

1:31 am

gee that's a lot of money christine!

1:31 am

thanks lynxxx

1:31 am

hello lynxxx!

1:31 am

ca 9

1:32 am

got it right away! thank you guys

1:32 am

nice icon, lynxxx :)

1:33 am

thanks lynxxx.... it's a bit shaggier now, growing out fast. trying to decide if I should keep it short for a while.

1:33 am

yes. the Qu is grey

1:33 am

keep it short, stid! Most becoming!

1:33 am

If I say you look younger with it short would that help decide Stid?

1:34 am

I just checked - it is now $2 as of January 1st - still a bargain for me though

1:34 am

LOL thanks, ladies, will talk to Tom about it tomorrow and see what he thinks. With the new glasses, I need ANYTHING to help me look younger!

1:34 am

I'd take the bus, but I can't walk too far - hoping to start inhalation therapy at the end of the month, see if that helps. Actually, I'm not too concerned: it's my excuse for doing my two favourite things - lying on the bed or couch, and reading all day - retirement is GREAT!!!!

1:35 am

new glasses, stid? Me too -- almost invisible

1:35 am

might i have a clue for ce8?

1:35 am

not mine -- I got bifocals. need help for reading only, but didn't want to do the whole "cheaters perched on end of nose" look

1:35 am

Men always want long hair -- phooey -- keep it short and perky

1:35 am

ce 8? really?

1:35 am

don't have ce 8 yet

1:36 am

apparently =p

1:37 am

LOL jill!

1:37 am

my glasses are the graduated kind -- can't think of the right name for them -- love them

1:38 am

i've been given the exact opposite advice many a time, jilli

1:38 am

I justr got hte ce 8 and I am thinking how to clue it

1:38 am

ce 8 -- most of stalk veggie and an arsonist is a pyroman***

1:38 am

aha! thanks BR!

neither did I

2:25 am

ok..morning all..tell me this...

2:25 am

I think the longer ca is an adjective and the shorter one a noun

2:26 am

hi rolin!

2:26 am

hi rolin

2:26 am

if a kid fails an exam...what does s/he do???... s/he 'reseits' it...

2:26 am

what the other one Jilli?

2:26 am

hi Rolin

2:26 am

resits

2:27 am

maybe DrG doesn't give second chances

2:27 am

lynxx...youre shoe polish?

2:27 am

I know. I hate enable

2:27 am

ca7/36 is the adj (and the 9 is the pl) -- ca6/24 is the noun (and the 8 is the pl)

2:28 am

there is a ca7.32 as well Jilli

2:28 am

in honour of Kiwi's birthday Rolin

2:28 am

3:42 am

any hints for the middle E?

3:48 am

ARGH! again with the plowing!

3:50 am

and it's not just the noise - the stupid truck has a friggin blinking light on the back of it - i feel like i've got a strobe light in my room

Wow Hursh, when I lived in Rochester NY, they had these super silent plows, maybe you shoudl move!

Good Morning.

3:53 am

this plow WAS quieter than the one last time - i don't know if it was the light that woke me up, or what

Well, it is a nnnoying. and Frankly, it is very early to be up, unless like me you have to get to work today.

3:54 am

yeah, last time my husband said, well, they have to have it clear for people to go to work, but this time, it's sunday

I work on Sunday. Lots of people work on Sunday

3:54 am

true...

3:54 am

there were two trucks idling outside my window for quite awhile

but it is still annoying to be woken.

Hursh, they know you live there!

3:55 am

i don't know why they couldn't turn off the engines while the men did whatever it was they were doing

3:55 am

possibly a drug deal

3:55 am

no, then they WOULD try to be quiet

because if they turn off engines, they get very cold, I imagine.

3:56 am

they were OUT of the trucks, moving around, talking to each other

3:56 am

so i think they would be cold anyway

yes, but when they get back in the trucks,it would be all chilly....

3:57 am

i am skeptical

3:57 am

i think they are just sound sleepers who do not think of others

Well, you got a nice start on the grid.

3:57 am

yeah, a whole 10 words, lol

3:58 am

probably trying to figure a way to connect bells & whistles to the rig, to really drive you bonkers

Hush, I like this grid so far. I have about 39 , but...

3:58 am

i'm sure it is a fine grid, i'm just determinedly cranky

And I am in a good mood because this comign week I have a lot of days off.

I just have to get through todays joys.

3:59 am

oh, that's good

4:00 am

we almost have irresolute

yes, they have to give me 4 more hours in there somewhere though, so I must figure that out as well, but work has been fun lately. (I might live to rue that statement).

4:01 am

i hope it keeps being fun for you :)

Well...we shall see.

hi herin

How are you?

4:04 am

Hey guy/gals just thught i share my happy thoughts

hi grannie.

4:05 am

me an g/kids are connectcted via web cam

4:06 am

I'm gone - I have a book and a half to finish, to return to the library on Monday

and I am off to work...

OH that is nice Graniee

4:16 am

Hi Granny I am connected to my granddaughter and to family all over the world via skype and webcam. Great isnt it?

4:41 am

morning all

4:41 am

and happy birthday Kiwi, wherever you are :)

4:55 am

Hi all

4:55 am

hi diem

4:56 am

:)

4:58 am

it's incredibly quiet in chat atm. Looks like everybody remembered they had a re4 life at the same time, lol

Hi Sprite and everyone.

4:59 am

hiya Sally

Heehee. Just got my last cl4/5 combo, and realised that no-one can ask for one without going in the PB today!

5:00 am

lol too true!

5:01 am

and we cannot even "re-" that word, which is very stupid for babble

Haven't been chatting for a day or so because our heating is off downstairs where office is (long story), and whenn I realised that I was doing the grid with my gloves on, I realised that I really was addicted!

5:02 am

oooops Sally, yeah, that IS a dead giveaway, lol.

5:02 am

good morning everyone-too groggy to chat much but I'm here

Now have nice temporary electric fire installed for me and cats! and Hi Eva

5:03 am

hi Eva, glad to have you here in any condition

5:03 am

hi eva

5:06 am

brb, my husband and kids are home from aikido. back soon.

5:12 am

back

5:14 am

sounds cosy, Sally, the temporary electric fire. When do you expect the normal heat will be back on?

Welcome back :-)

5:15 am

thanks :)

Several weeks. We have underfloor heating, and are having work done on floor, so heating downstairs is off :-(

Bad timing.

5:15 am

that is tough this time of year :(

Yes, we thought it would have to be off just for a few days at most. Sob.

5:17 am

very inconvenient. Fleece blankets, warm clothes and temporal fires can only do so much, right? You will be so happy when they are done :)

Not all bad, we have log fire in sitting room, and upstairs is warm. Eventually I'll have to move all my clobber out of this room and upstairs anyway while they work in here. Not looking forward to that.

Yes indeed Sprite, I want to buy a Slanket (mentioned on here) but they are out of stock!

5:18 am

no idea what a Slanket is!

Google is you friend :-) It's like a big fleece blanket with sleeves, looks a bit like a monk's robe.

5:19 am

ohhhhhh sounds like something totally wonderful. I will hope for you they are back in stock very soon.

5:19 am

Hi all - I am back today - i had an accident on Thursday - pretending I was superwoman and did a Walter - have a lovely graze all over my right temple and a balck eye to die for along with some broken ribs on the right side and bruised ribs on the left and bruises all over my knees and hands!

5:20 am

and I am actually an avid googler. Just cannot seem to spare the energy atm, too ill to move much.

5:20 am

not a fun day,what you do?

http://www.theslanket.com/index.php?pa th=the_product

5:20 am

are you not well sprite??..whats up?

5:21 am

ewwww Kazz! Am so sorry hun! You must be hurting all over. Would hug you if that wouldn't hurt you too much.

5:21 am

omg kazzer! What did you do?

5:21 am

cought my shoe in the 3rd step from the bottom on the path done from the car park which propelled me about 6 six forwards flat onto the concrete path

5:22 am

hi rolin! Nothing much, a pretty taxing week, as usual ending in me losing the battle with yet another virus. Fever, sore throat, coughing, stomach stuff.

5:22 am

ooooww...kazzer...

5:22 am

hubby says no more base jumping without a parachute!!

Ouch, Kazzer, feel for you.

5:22 am

ouch!!

5:22 am

ouch ouch ouch Kazz :( How totally awful. Could have been even worse, I guess, but it is bad enough. So sorry for you.

5:23 am

oh poor you sprite... i had the tummy stuff during the week.. still a bit bloible... is someone making you lots of hot drinks and good soups?

5:23 am

repeat to yourself kazzer, "I cannot fly. I cannot fly. I cannot fly".

5:23 am

you tell hubby the flying part went perfectly. You only need to work on your landing skills.

Poor Sprite. I've had the cold/flu bug as well, but not stomach.

5:23 am

lol@sprite

5:24 am

I just stick to tea for now.

5:24 am

its fine the hugs are good but only gently as i am still rather tender in places. if you go to www.flickr.com/photos/davebarfoot you can see the mess i made of myself

5:24 am

hello all!

5:24 am

hi demi

5:24 am

Exactly sprite - must remember concrete is hard, body is soft

5:24 am

hi demi

5:25 am

back to grid only got 2 words so far

5:25 am

hi Demi

Wow, Kazzer, that's some mess!

5:26 am

aw Kazzer, it looks so painful. I hope things will improve soon. Your eye is going to be a spectacle when it heals up, lol, all colours of the rainbow coming on. But the ribs are ugliest, I think.

5:26 am

the eye developed over Friday and Saturday - presumably where the blood drained from my head

5:26 am

interestingly i have no external bruises on my ribs

5:28 am

sally, looked up the slanket and I want one myself :D

5:29 am

that is not too unusual, Kazzer. Rib damage is often only on the inside.

Don't they look wonderful! There are UK distributors as well, I emailed the company and they gave me some names to save the US postage.

5:30 am

i am fine as long as i dont move suddenly

5:30 am

that is delightful. They might as well have an overseas thing as well, I will email them!

Cheapest online UK distributor I've found is <http://www.prezziesplus.co.uk>. Don't know what postage might be to you though.

Now have visions of Babblers this side of the pond all sitting in Slankets of varying colours doing the grid!

5:33 am

will find out! But will tell them to dig up one now and send it to you pronto first!

I mean this hemisphere, where we have winter!!

5:35 am

Atalante are you with us?

5:39 am

sally - love the kitty pic

Thanks Kazzer. Her name is Daisy and she's curled up beside me.

5:42 am

does she like a fuzz or prefer to give you a snuggle every now and again?

5:42 am

oops fuss

She loves a fuss, and loves a quiet life. Sleep, eat, get stroked, sleep, eat ... Typical cat really.

5:43 am

cats know the meaning of heaven on earth

5:44 am

that nice - my friends cat is really vicious but will deign to let you stroke her if you are going to feed her

I think vicious cats are often created by their owners (not always). We are very lucky with these two, who never ever even put their claws out in play to us.

5:46 am

can also be due to a lack of peace and quiet in the litter.

5:46 am

my friend is very hands off at the little kitty stage and so i think that they dont humanise very well

Yes, sprite, but we have known cats where the owners say, you can't handle them - and every cat they have has been the same!

We have always handled ours from a very young age.

5:48 am

argh yes, then it is clearly them. I think if you want any animal to bind to humans, humans need to handle them and make them feel good from early stage on.

Gentle but firm - bit like the way to treat husbands really.

5:48 am

roflol Sally :D

5:48 am

i know - but she has always let them do their own thing - she very rarely gives them names as well

5:49 am

al 5,10 clue please

5:50 am

hello Merk

QED Kazzer!

al5/10 rhymes with me!

5:51 am

Hi everyone

5:51 am

ty

5:51 am

lol Sally I love that cl4

5:54 am

you cannot expect a cat to bind with you when you don't bind with the cat, right?

5:55 am

i know that if you want a cat to play nice then they need to know humans - otherwise they are literally wild animals

That's right. Cats love to interact with their "owners" and accept you as the leader of their pack. Even rescue cats we've had (come to think of it, nearly all of our cats have been rescue) we have been able to accept being handled, being fussed.

We had one cat which was like a wild thing when we had her. Every day I picked her up and stroked her, put her down. Eventually she used to go around draped round the back of my neck!

I think some people are afraid of their cats, and don't like to say no, so if the cat behaves "badly" then they just let it be.

5:57 am

interesting grid

I'm finding it quite a nice grid Merk. One or two strange words.

5:58 am

that's really good - we would get one but we have a very busy road out the front of our house and my hubby lost two cats within 3months of each other to traffic where we lived before and that road was even quieter so until we move we will unfortunately be cat free

5:59 am

hello from someone who is owned by 3 cats

5:59 am

I was just reading the chat

5:59 am

hi west

5:59 am

hi kaz

Hi west. Only 3? What's stopping you? :-)

Most we have had is four at one time.

6:00 am

love this grid. And also love cats. We always taught our cats to behave and have always been rewarded with love, playfulness and cuddles.

6:00 am

their grocery bills

6:00 am

hi west :)

6:00 am

hi sprite

6:00 am

ha ha! Just over half way - off to inspect the chicken and stick the spuds on fro lunch - will be back in a mo

6:02 am

our Jenny cat is 18 years old now she belonged to our daughter and granddaughter she was not very friendly when we first got her but now she likes to sit on our laps when we're using our laptops of course

6:02 am

our other 2 are strays we rescued they all have their own personalities just like children

6:03 am

my former cat loved to sit on my lap when I was reading or something like that. When I was using my laptop he wanted to sit on the laptop.

6:03 am

sprite how's Caya's knee better I hope

6:03 am

someone sent me the cutest picture of a kitten asleep on his back on a laptop

6:04 am

again a little bit better, west, thanks for asking. She went to aikido this morning, but only participated in the stretching and warming up. We also went for a walk yesterday, which did some good.

6:04 am

oh that is good to hear

6:05 am

but if it is still swollen tomorrow I am gonna take her to the doctor's.

6:05 am

have you been putting ice on it?

When my current 2 were small (and they were VERY small) I had a desktop pc with a tower. They loved to sleep on the tower, so in the end I had to put a raised tray on it to keep their fluff out of the tower!

6:06 am

yes we have cooled it with ice, bandaged it when she was active, let it rest otherwise.

6:06 am

cute sally must have been nice and warm

6:07 am

don't blame them, Sally, must have been like a mothercat. Warm, purring and always there.

They were so tiny, only about four weeks old we reckoned. I was afraid of standing on them. It was like having babies again for a few weeks.

6:08 am

yes way too early to be away from their mum. Glad they found someone like you to take over.

Yes, we found them in our log store. One had been crying all day so Mum nowhere to be found!

She was like a little bird, all ribs and I could hold her in one hand.

6:09 am

a friend of mine had one 2 weeks old she kept it in her pocket and bottle fed it every 2 hours

2 weeks - that's even more of a challenge.

6:10 am

it is really painful, the cruelty of some people towards animals

6:10 am

she was dedicated

6:11 am

there is a case going to trial now a man refuses to put his horse down and the poor thing is suffering so

I don't think ours were abandoned by people, but by a feral Mum.

6:11 am

that is terrible :(

6:11 am

or something may have happened to her

6:11 am

sounds that way, Sally

We had an earth tremor the day before, so we think she tried to move them and lost them somehow. Cats get freaked by things like that.

6:12 am

wow mistyping gave me a 7! eq7 to be precise. I tried to make it re.

6:13 am

I think it would scare me sh*tless too

6:13 am

saw a funny story on TV some people had their dog at the vet's to be spayed and the people at the vet's office put her outside in the dog run and she squeezed under 3 fences and escaped

The mistyping or the earth tremor sprite?

6:14 am

she was a Yorkshire terrier everyone panicked and guess where she turned up?

6:14 am

nah, mistyping is part of my everyday life, I can sorta handle that :)

6:14 am

in the waiting room?

She turned up at home?

6:14 am

you got it!

6:15 am

she must have been talking to the other dogs there

6:15 am

lol

6:15 am

pretty dumb thing to do though it's freezing

6:16 am

speaking of dogs sprite when is your little one going to arrive?

Lol. We have caught some male feral cats here and had them spayed. We were advised to let them go where we caught them, and they wouldn't come back. Standing joke round here for young men - don't stand around Sally's back door!

6:16 am

it should be born on Feb 3, my daughter's birthday. And we can take it home 8 weeks later.

Visitor. brb

6:17 am

how exciting!!

6:17 am

roflolllll sally!

6:17 am

oh yes it is! We can hardly wait, so looking forward to getting our new housemate home.

6:18 am

we'll want lots of pictures

6:18 am

I promise :D

6:19 am

have you stayed with Terra for its name?

6:19 am

so far we have, west. It has such a good ring and feel about it.

6:19 am

it's perfect

6:20 am

:)

6:20 am

are you leaning toward a male or female?

6:21 am

either will do. We want the one that will fit into our family and be happy there.

6:21 am

have you seen the pics of the mum and dad?

6:22 am

that's the best idea

6:22 am

no I haven't

6:22 am

are they in your profile?

6:22 am

wait a sec, I will give you the link

6:22 am

thanks

6:23 am

6:24 am

ruby mum left, black&tan dad at the right

Back. Pretty, sprite!

6:24 am

aren't they :D

6:25 am

and fireworks too

6:26 am

very very beautiful and look at those little faces awwww

6:26 am

was that her last litter?

6:27 am

no the litters are from the other 2 lady dogs this breeder owns. She only breeds once a year, or once every 2 years. So there are many years between litters of the same mum.

6:28 am

that is the smartest thing to do

6:29 am

and Yay sprite on fireworks!!

6:29 am

yes I think so too. We selected her because she takes so much time with the dogs, has them scanned for all inbred handicaps, domesticates them from the start, etc.

6:30 am

what does koh-I-noor mean?

6:32 am

it is the name of a famous diamant, I believe. It is the .... how do you say that... pedigree name? He listens to the name Ttitian, pronounced Gitan.

6:34 am

have you chosen Terra's registered name?

6:34 am

Koh-i-noor means Mountain of Light and it is the name of a famous diamond. Hello btw.:-)

howdy folks

6:34 am

hello takuma

6:34 am

hi jac

6:34 am

hello all

6:34 am

he's gorgeous

6:35 am

help with i and e on the bottom please

6:35 am

because we already know the name, the name Terra will be part of the registered name. But there will also be another name. Same beginning letter for dogs from same litter, I believe, and other such rules.

6:35 am

hi Takuma and peri

6:35 am

the i at the bottom is land surrounded by water

6:35 am

eq7 comes from bottom e.

6:36 am

ok, thanks, will look again

6:36 am

got the i, thanks west

6:36 am

Jac!!!!!!!!! *hugs* Thanks for your lovely mail! I so enjoyed reading it.

6:38 am

for that eq7: E + question, double consonant

6:39 am

yes both dogs are beautiful, but more important: they are healthy and incredibly sweetnatured.

6:39 am

not quite getting the eq7 :(

6:39 am

puppy should fit right in with your family then

6:40 am

an officer of the British royal household who attends the sovereign or other member of the royal family.

6:40 am

11:45 am

HI Met..long time no see

11:45 am

hi Metster baby!

11:45 am

Hey ruru...

11:45 am

How you feeling today, dear?

11:46 am

how'd it go with Viktor love?

11:46 am

eh ok I guess

11:46 am

Oh, we had fun, or at least I did, I can't speak for him.....

11:46 am

2nd day back on arthritis meds so not feeling 75 anymore

11:47 am

That's good - today for some reason I am a snot factory - it just won't stop....

11:47 am

been getting blood pressure headaches 4 days in a row now. If that persists I be seeing the Doc sooner than planned.

11:48 am

isn't snot just a joy?

11:48 am

Could your other meds be aggravating your pressure?

11:49 am

the other 2 I've been on for years , so doubt it.Just think the pressure meds aren't working adequately anymore

11:49 am

Maybe you need a new one?

11:50 am

could be that being off the arthritis meds for a week made the pressure go up . PAIN does that!

11:50 am

that's what I'm thinking , if it continues maybe need something more potent

11:51 am

Well, I hope it all evens itself out. I just took my allergy and sinus pills, so I'll be OK soon, but your issues are so much more threatening.

11:52 am

all that crap aside the titty doesn't hurt as long as it's strapped in. Get to take off the bandage today.

11:52 am

Wondrous - when will you know anything about this last test?

11:53 am

the RN said Doc should have the Path. report Mon or Tues.

11:53 am

show we cover our eyes?

11:53 am

and will call me himself

11:53 am

No, BR, we're just hen-clucking!!

11:54 am

what BR? scared of a titty?

11:54 am

Well, luck with that, dear, I'll be praying it's nothing.

11:54 am

we all got 'em

11:54 am

absolutely true pugs.. when I broke a couple ribs my blood pressure was through the roof

11:54 am

I'm not sweating it

11:55 am

Ive grown accustomed to feeling like a science project!

11:56 am

Which is why pain management is so vital, ruru - it exacerbates lots of other things.

11:56 am

**sending healing thoughts to pug's titty**

11:56 am

so true met..you got to get on it early...

11:56 am

ruru if you were single you could send more than that you handsome devil

11:56 am

ROFL pugs...

11:57 am

Oh, come now, dear - you're hardly Dr Fronkensteen's Bride....

11:57 am

Dahling my whole bloody life seems to revolve around doctor visits & testing facilities anymore

11:58 am

If ruru were single, dear, we could tag-team him...

11:58 am

hey no Met! I got Dibs!

11:58 am

I feel the love...

11:58 am

Oh, OK

11:59 am

besides ruru like Jewish women don't you dear?

11:59 am

I married one..

11:59 am

I see either a sitcom or a soap opera building here hehe

11:59 am

My closest friends are as jewish as you can get

11:59 am

precisely! as I said.

12:00 pm

I'm Jewish by osmosis....

12:00 pm

I could made you some lovely matzo ball soup!

12:01 pm

ya know I really like Matzo soup

12:01 pm

Oy vei! What did I barge in on here?

12:01 pm

Break out the kreplach!!!

12:01 pm

maybe I was jewish in a past lifetime..

12:01 pm

it is addictive isn't it?

12:01 pm

hello, Michnick === hope you are safe

12:01 pm

I have some chicken whole wheat kreplach in the freezer

12:02 pm

sound yummy Mich!

12:02 pm

I think I was, too - all my friends growing up and now are Jewish - we must have all been in the same tribe....

12:02 pm

We are safe. Most people seem to think Jerusalem is safe from bombing. I fear rioting.

12:02 pm

what the yatzas or the soup?

12:02 pm

you were just switched at Birth Met

12:03 pm

Maybe he was switched at brith!

12:03 pm

That's another possible explanation!!

12:03 pm

Hey Scoop!

12:03 pm

hi, michnick - was thinking about you

12:03 pm

I'm totally not Jewish and now my research is taking me into the Pentateuch and Haftorahs and it's all a bit odd!

12:03 pm

12:04 pm

I said "Hey" to you earlier Trif, but I think you missed it.

12:04 pm

12:04 pm

just started but i have 24 so far u?

12:04 pm

12:04 pm

Oh, damn the luck!

12:05 pm

Gee, there's a couple of hints that we've been dominating the chog if ever I've seen them!!!

12:05 pm

I am trying to get it done between loads of laundry, interruptions from the boys, and before I have to leave for work!

12:05 pm

Trif...117 to go or done?

12:05 pm

See ya, ruru

12:05 pm

12:05 pm

68 to go, obviously

12:06 pm

Dear Ms Pug, I'm going back to lurking to work on this damn grid - can I call you later?

12:06 pm

apparently it does! getting into references about rejection of dualism, maintaining that whatever conflict there may be between Light and Darkness, Light will always be triumphant and prove that the worst of evil will only be turned to His Glory. A friend suggested that that book would be a good source

12:06 pm

I wish it was your birthday again sec - I would totally get you pro for your present

12:06 pm

at least we dont flood the chog with "please spoon feed me half the grid" requests!

12:07 pm

sure baby! chat with later dear!

12:07 pm

:) thnx

12:07 pm

Hmm, OK I'll take your word for it but I still don't get it.

12:07 pm

Oh, please - yogo only comes on at night, thank God!!!

12:07 pm

no you just get me floundering around with holy texts instead!

12:07 pm

What do you mean...I don't think anyone was dominating the grid...I just sat down again!

12:07 pm

ata, there is a whole sunday school series of books comparing the Bible and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I taught it several years ago to a class of HS kids and it was very well received. I will try to find you a link, hold please...

12:07 pm

there are others besides yogo sadly....

12:07 pm

OK, dear - later. Bye

12:07 pm

I don't really either, Mich, but I want to look into it to see what I don't get

12:07 pm

oh I know, trif, I have them

Good luck. Keep in mind that every translation is actually an interpretation!

12:09 pm

bye scoop! How is mom today/

12:09 pm

It's really interesting, but I've been realising how little is actually written about the fall - this is how I've been branching out from orthodox christianity into the apocrypha etc etc

1:50 pm

ec6 the second one? I tried to plural the first...

1:50 pm

I hear that, car -- in Dec after the kid's concert on the 14th, we tried to find an open restaurant. finally did -- the manager had sent all staff home but herself a waitperson and the cook. And then people started coming in beause they were the only ones open! LOL

and then I have to get back to my linguistics studies... *sigh*

what sort of linguistics?

that's the direction my work has taken

2:00 pm

need ca 6 24: first one and last one plz

OK. The cat's lump, which as many may recall was classed as benign, has started growing at a really extreme rate. The vet is horrified. She is scheduled for x-rays Tuesday. If it has not invaded the chest wall we will do new biopsies and if still benign we will look into surgery. Something has to be done. It's bigger tahn her head and growing FAST. But she is not havinga ny pain.

So that is the bad news. Good news coming up...

2:01 pm

oh dear MG, that sounds bad.

2:01 pm

oh no, monkey! *hoping it's just a fluid-filled cyst*

2:02 pm

I'm sorry about the cat I hope things go OK on Tuesday

2:02 pm

oh dear, i'm hoping for all the best here too

It is bad but not yet necessarily the worst... I will keep people posted. Now for good...

2:02 pm

ca 6 -- large state, abbr; and shoe la***

2:02 pm

sorry all. Dont know if I missed anything then but Babble went bananas on me or a while...

I passed my in-Dutch presentation (half an hour!) and was rated "excellent". I still need grading on my portfolio but the teacher says from what he has seen so far and what he glanced at, grading is at this point a formality and I can probably get that degree NEXT WEEK!

2:03 pm

ca 6 -- large state, abbr; and verdant: ***h

2:03 pm

WOO-HOO Monkey! well done! *proud mama-friend look*

2:03 pm

Oh that is good news MG

2:03 pm

oh, what a great time to tune in - congratulations, Monkey! very good news!

2:03 pm

Wow, fantastic, congrats MG!

The other good news is that Walter was chosen for a lucrative spot in a promotional film for a large TV network and we went and did teh filming yesterday.

Thanks, all!

2:04 pm

hello JBV!

2:04 pm

that's wonderful mg!

2:04 pm

hi everybody, hi stid!

2:04 pm

well done Monkey!!!

2:04 pm

babble, large state abbr is ca right? then add la***? that is 5 letters.

2:04 pm

*dancing in circles* oh that is very fun! *happy happy happy*

2:04 pm

that is very cool, Monkey! Walter on TV! a star is born

It's not a Master's or something.... but it IS in Dutch... this has been a LOT of work.

Not sinking in yet, really, to tell the truth.

2:05 pm

stid, scrolling back, saw your post about linguistics homework - what are you studying?

2:05 pm

I think you have done well, monkey -- as I am finding out, not all undergrad work is a piece of cake!

Yeah, Walter had a good time for much of it and "not so much" for some, he says, but he want sto do it again, and it has maked a greatleap in his social skills too. He was VERY shy (as always) about saying what they wanted hom to-- then AFTER he did, he just opened right up to everyone! Good lesson. He says he definitely wants to do it again, and was disappointed they didn't want him to pretend to be someone else and"eat and sing", so he clearly "gets" what acting is all about.

2:06 pm

I am taking a half-time program called the Ecology of Language and Place, JBV. I need 4 credits in grammar, and some in world geography and some in Pac NW History to get into the Master's program next year.

2:06 pm

se - -

2:07 pm

help with the last ce 5/12(I think), er 5/10, last la 6/21 and ur 5/14...my last 4

True, Stid, and I somehow interviewed myself without fully understanding it into an accellerated intensive course and did the usually 4 year degree in 2 1/2... that's just sinking in too...

2:07 pm

this class will fill the gammar/linguistics gap and ties in nicely to work I did 20 years ago in ethnomusicology

2:07 pm

sounds like cultural linguistics/anthropology - very interesting stid, what is the your degree in?

2:08 pm

er5.10 there are vER*** in poems

Stid, my aunt is very open to e-mails if you ever think of anything she could help you with... just say you're a friend of mine.

2:09 pm

"liberal arts" JBV -- silly choice, really -- but always planned on doing a master's at some point, so it didn't really matter too much at the time (when I was half my current age)

2:09 pm

i don't know if i've ever mentioned it but linguistics is my field - have an M.A. in teaching English as a Second Language and PH.D. in Applied Linguistics from Georgetown -

2:09 pm

thanks monkey -- she was very nice when I wrote to Sam through her!

2:09 pm

thanks lynxxx...I thought I tried that one

2:09 pm

la6.21 more frillier

2:09 pm

actually, I saw your aunt's name in a reference list in one of the books assigned for this quarter!

2:09 pm

MG! hi!! Just hopped on here....did walter do his tv spot yet, or is that tomorrow?

2:09 pm

Hello! I am trying to find re7,36 and re8,50. Are there any clues? Thanks!

2:09 pm

ur 5 -- add *r** the Red

2:09 pm

thanks again lynxxx

Cool, JBV! My aunt is an anthropological linguaist specializing in Yuman Indian languages and runs a program for restoring nearly extinct languages.

2:10 pm

really, MG - who is your aunt? I may know the name, too

2:10 pm

AWESOME!!!! wayyy too cool, JBV! in fact, if I may refer to the language of valley girls when I was MUCH younger (and not from there...) TOTALLY TUBULAR!

Cool, Stid, what book?

2:10 pm

later mizhoffle

Trif, that was yeaterday... scroll back...

JBV, her name is Leanne Hinton.

2:10 pm

bye stid

2:10 pm

2:11 pm

That would be good over here Monkey - our local patois is pretty near extinct

2:11 pm

2:11 pm

at last a fall and some blood, not on the live show in the VT but still I'm sure it counts

2:11 pm

thanks babble

2:11 pm

Oh, Thanks! Found them!!!

2:11 pm

2:11 pm

is she working with populations that are about to become extinct? or that have some hope of saving the language

2:11 pm

You are being a bit blood thirsty Mrs Mc lol

2:11 pm

i'm down to my last 3 and they are words I can't see right now, so am taking a break!

2:11 pm

It's not one of the ones on the bed, monkey, I'll try to figure it out later.

Here, this is her: http://www.linguistics.berkeley.edu/pe ople/person_detail.php?person=17

2:12 pm

what Katie??? What are you watching!

OK, Stid!

2:12 pm

ce 5 -- c + singer fitzgerald: ****

JBV, she works with any group that has any interest in restoring a language even when there are NO native speakers left alive.

2:12 pm

*proud look* I am learning the local language now, Lushootseed! actually, I want to learn the southern dialect, HWoolshootseed, but the basic vocabulary and sounds are the same, I know.

2:13 pm

dancing on ice Liz, been waiting for a fall and blood all evening, ata wanted broken bones as well ;-) why el** would anyone watch it?

2:13 pm

thats impressive Stid :)

2:13 pm

I have that one...I need the very last 5/12

2:13 pm

ah!!!!!!! that explains it Katie LOL

2:13 pm

Trust Ata LOL

2:13 pm

I think since there are 2 at the bottom and I don't know if I have that last or second to last

2:13 pm

ce 5 -- add ***t and relaxation ce 5 -- diva solo: a***

2:13 pm

Vi Hilbert, who was the last person to grow up hearing lushootseed in the home (she spoke the northern dialect) just died a few weeks ago... *sad look* I have many books she co-authored, and one of my teachers was her friend and studied with her for decades.

2:13 pm

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

thanks all!

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

how fishy is the first CL 6?

YAY MIZ!!!

2:14 pm

YAY miz!!!

2:14 pm

congrats Miz

2:14 pm

thank you, Monkey - I checked out the website - Berkeley is the place to be for linguistics - you are bringing a lot of star power to the chat today

2:14 pm

yay miz!

2:14 pm

and I am off as soon as I clear the C...

2:14 pm

congrats MizH!

2:15 pm

congrats, MizHoffle

2:15 pm

off to finally get dressed for the day and actually leave the house

2:15 pm

thanks all!

2:15 pm

stid where is that language spoken? I have never heard of it

Leanne does some very special work. As an undergrad she helped teh Havasu develop a written form of their language-- and she's only gotten more impressive since. IT'd be intimidating of she wasn't so kind and generous and all that.

At least next week I will no longer be the only person on that side of the family without a degree in anything...

Bye Miz!

2:16 pm

JBV - I just read what you wrote about the word etui. I always thought the same about me and my Mum with that word :)

2:17 pm

A degree isn't everything honestly!!!

Oh, I know! But still, it was kind of irksome...

2:17 pm

oh, so many connections today, that is so cool, Lizsark

I can have a petty side at times.

2:18 pm

My Mum was a seamstress and has a collection of antique sewing tools

2:18 pm

So you're human then?

My dad has to my knowledge never worked in any field that has anything to do with his degree...

My grandmother was a seamstress. Actually, both of them were.

2:19 pm

Now hubby wants a leg break, and the poor man skating broke his ankle last year on the show!

2:19 pm

Monkey, I am all caught up on the Walter chronicles now...glad to hear that he enjoyed the experience, and would like to do it again. And CLEARLY he "got" what is was all about, so well done all of you!

2:19 pm

LOL tor! no, monkey is being silly -- she is a published author, a great illustrator and a very decent mother... oh yes, and a devoted granddaughter and a good friend...

What, me, Torgone? Hoping to start feeling human again sometime soon...

2:19 pm

could someone please click on my profile and tell me if its weird looking - the icon seems enormous for some reason

NOT published!

2:19 pm

liz, your picture is GIANT size - hard to see it

Well, I'm a published illustrator. Still trying to hawk the novels though.

2:20 pm

Hi Liz - yes, your photo is indeed ginormous

2:20 pm

NOT published? then whyevernot????

2:20 pm

thanks people :) I'll have to alter it I think

2:20 pm

Yep Liz it's massive. I had to resize my photo when it was that big before

2:20 pm

any help for the 1st EC6 please? (not the pastry)

2:20 pm

but I loved reading about your treks and adventures - you have accomplished a dream of mine - to see Petra - (it may never happen in this life, but I love to see and read about it)

My novel is 40,000 words to short for the mainstream markets at the moment. But trends change.

2:21 pm

it was amazing JBV, truly a beautiful country

2:21 pm

I wasn't being funny about the degree, I just worry that people get one because of pressure of others on them

2:21 pm

ec + vowel + sibling, not bro

2:21 pm

Lis...Jilli has a link to resize photos....

2:21 pm

ty Pav :)

2:21 pm

TY VM JBV!

2:21 pm

BTW...that was firewords for me....

2:22 pm

I just put resize photos in google and found a site from that

2:22 pm

*off to resize my icon*

2:22 pm

way to go pav!

2:22 pm

congrats pav

2:22 pm

yay, PAV!

2:22 pm

monkey, one of the 6th graders suggested, when I thought I was going to do the nanowrimo last novemeber that I "pad" my word count with lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of repetition...

2:22 pm

yahoooee PAV!!!

Oh, no. I understand that though. No, we emmigrated and spent a long time getting established here, and then my great aunt died and my aunt and father used some of her legacy to send me back to school, an dthat's when I thought, hey cool, I'm gonna have a degree in something!

2:22 pm

YAY Pav!

2:22 pm

CE8 please ? last word.....

2:22 pm

stid did you see my question? I am wondering about the language you mentioned - where is it spoken?

No padding. Heck I still haven't sent it to you, have I? The problem is I like it how it is. Padding would detract. I'll send it right away...

2:23 pm

ce 8 is related to the ce 6/27 veggie -- it's sometimes called ce**** root...

2:23 pm

sorry JBV, missed that: Lushootseed is the language of the Coast Salish peoples.

2:23 pm

That's cool monkey

2:23 pm

thanks monkey!

2:23 pm

there, swapped it for a smaller one for the time being

2:23 pm

well it seems Joey needs another walk now...we went out earlier but he was too intent on eating something he picked up, so he didn't have a chance to do his re4 business...now he's crossing his legs and anxious...well it is about time anywhoooo...

2:23 pm

one more page in this article from 1911...

ty stid- i was looking for that one too1

BRB, gonna send Stid my book...

2:23 pm

not clicking stiddy

2:24 pm

a native american group?

2:24 pm

change the Y to a vowel making the same sound, and end with the cooling unit abbreviation used in teh summer

2:24 pm

I'm not being funny but if you had an editor they might make suggestions for changes and extend the word count that way. Sometimes you can be too close to something. I always have to get a reviewer on my papers

2:24 pm

pacific northwest, puget sound region mostly

2:24 pm

ty vm stidders!!

2:25 pm

and fireworks

2:25 pm

YAY pugmama!

2:25 pm

it was great chatting with you all - i will now return to the chore of the day - reorganizing (and decluttering) closets! I have made minimal headway but at least I started

2:25 pm

Bye JBV :-)

2:25 pm

later JBV -- seems a waste of a good linguist's time (imho)

2:25 pm

I think I have to give up too for now

2:25 pm

congrats stid

2:25 pm

Have fun everyone

2:26 pm

LOL stid :) -that's how my closets got to be the way they are -

2:26 pm

Oh honestly!! I meant congrats pug

2:26 pm

alas more chores await the pug too... perhaps back later to cl**

2:26 pm

bye liz give Oscar a cuddle from me

2:26 pm

not me katie -- still 35 to go. but I MUST get some of this reading done... *identifying too strongly with JBV's situation*

2:26 pm

later liz and all! back in an hour or so... *poof*

2:26 pm

ty again my wee stiddling!

2:26 pm

bye stid

2:26 pm

will do Katie :) A gentle one

Hi everybody!

2:27 pm

Happy Babbling all!

2:27 pm

*poof*

2:27 pm

Hi beach

Oooh, bye Stid if you're demi-lurking!

Hi Beach!

2:34 pm

world's tiniest kitten is now helping me type,..this is so funny....

2:34 pm

74

Awwwwww!!!!

2:35 pm

sorry - apparently "74" is cat type for hello....

I just assumed it was how many words you had left...

Are all three U words from the right related?

2:36 pm

Oh no trif's kittens, coming over all broody again!

2:37 pm

i know two of them are, MG - the u's that is,

2:37 pm

2 u's are related MG

For that matter, are all 5 from the other one related?

2:37 pm

hi everyone!

Yeah, missing one from each and wondering if I should expand the search area or not...

OK, so one not. Good to know.

Hi nrkii

2:37 pm

on the bottom right, 2 are related, one is US

JUST found the third.

Thank you.

2:38 pm

on the top U, they are all related in sound anyway

Cool, thanks!

2:39 pm

20 to go here, just glancing through recent chat for clues... belated thanks to Stid for the CE8

2:41 pm

and I'm about 80% done with undecorating!

Just checked the outside temp. 1 degree! Good thing I hustled Walter out there to walk around on the canals today. If it staye above 0 the ice will be untrustworthy there tomorrow after school.

2:44 pm

resi t

And on that note, time to take the dog out and go to bed. Have fun, everyone! I'll keep you posted about the cat. Fingers crossed it acn be easily removed. We are not going to put her through long and complicated surgery, and doing nothing is not an option, so the more vibes aimed at a simple excision being possible the better.

2:45 pm

bye monkey, be well!

2:45 pm

Night MG

2:45 pm

good night monkey, and good thoughts go with you

2:46 pm

oops got sidetracked playing with my Wii

Thanks! *poof*

2:46 pm

Lol ata, what were you playing. I'm doing babble, playing a game on my iphone and watching tv, it's driving hubby mad

2:47 pm

Underwater thingy, you go adn dive round and meet little fishies

2:47 pm

its quite amusing incorrect about all laws of diving but the graphics are amazing

2:49 pm

ata, it's not endless ocean, is it? Secondo has that, and she just looooves it, and I think she has learned a lot

2:49 pm

yes, that sounds about right!

2:49 pm

I've just set a reminder for the show 'The Swan' which is one of the most politically incorrect shows on TV and hubby has commented that he is glad his OU is about to begin again!

BBL guys.... *poof*

2:49 pm

maybe not about diving, but certainly about marine life. And hey, it's got to be better than driving around blowing stuff up, right?

2:50 pm

the marine life bit is great, the diving ethos bit not so great

2:50 pm

like having to go round and prod things!

2:50 pm

The Swan? what's that?

2:51 pm

is the swan that show where they basically give women head transplants, and then they compete in a beauty contest? barf

2:51 pm

There were people on holiday who couldn't help themselves touching things including the turtle, it drove me mad!!

2:51 pm

me too. luckily I'm usually in situations like that as a dive instructor so I can yell at them!

2:52 pm

Last time I went snorkeling I went to an amazing place where, when you swim out about a quarter mile, there is an 800 foot drop beneath you. It was SO SCARY, but I loved it

2:52 pm

The swan takes really ugly people gives them massive and invasive plastic surgery they compete with each other (2 at a time) and the winner goes in to a beauty pagent at the end.

2:52 pm

Secondo really thought she would give it a go, but backed out on the day. No big whoop. we will try again when she is older

2:53 pm

its fun diving off places like that, you can just float down and down and down

2:53 pm

I was only snorkeling, I don't know how to dive.

2:54 pm

wow. that's some programme

2:54 pm

We had a bit of an issue on holiday. Mr McG likes snorkelling in the shallows but is scares me but I love snorkelling of the 'abyss', we had to compromise and snorkle the shallows when the tide was in and the abyss the rest of the time

2:55 pm

I think I like the shallow. Ata - it was a real dive we were on, not the game! :)

2:55 pm

I'll just snorkel or dive anywhere lol. easy

2:55 pm

why do the shallows scare you katie? never been snorkeling so can't picture...

2:55 pm

The Swan is car crash telly really but I found the first series a few years ago totally addictive

2:56 pm

they have pointy things that are out to get you!

2:56 pm

We went to a brilliant beach that is over a volcanic vent, so the water bubble like champagne. it was GREAT

2:56 pm

where was that, Trifi??? I want to snorkel there!

2:57 pm

I ended up going out deeper than I planned, went round a corner of a reef and a diver popped out from under an arch and scared the WITS out of me. Think you could hear me squealing out my snorkel!

2:57 pm

I'm so clumsy I worry about hurting the coral or myself in the shallows. I panicked the first day as we didn't check the tide timetable and Mr McG had to save me by cutting himself on the coral

2:57 pm

scaring snorkellers is great fun

2:58 pm

In the Commonwealth of Dominica, Lil. It is in the windward island of the carribbean, and is NOT the dominican republic - that's a whole diff place. It is an amazing, amazing place to go

2:58 pm

cool, Trifi... i have been to the Dom Republic and don't want to go back, it's too third world for me

2:58 pm

awww poor katie. cutting oneself on coral is not fun

2:58 pm

but Dominica I want to see

2:58 pm

I used to be a missionary there in the 80s, and I wanted to take my own family back there, so they could see the island that meant so muhc to me.

2:59 pm

i'm back in the Babble to find my last 17

2:59 pm

well, lil - it is definitely eco-tourism. if you are looking for luxe modcoms, don't go

2:59 pm

oh Trifi, that is so wonderful :)

2:59 pm

last time I was in the maldives we were snorkling off the abyss at dusk and a stingray played chicken with me, it won and I screamed very very loud through my snorkle. My friend Wayne nearly drowned laughing.

2:59 pm

if you like sleeping with just candlelight in a bamboo treehouse in the rain forest, it is for you!

2:59 pm

looooool i bet

2:59 pm

though to be fair, I never looked for any four star places. maybe there are some. don't think they would be fun though. I like my lizards, thanks

3:00 pm

hi all! last time I went snorkling I got sea sick lmao!

3:00 pm

I'm staying a few more minutes in case anyone needs clues... then I have to go finish my undecorating

3:00 pm

Trifi, mainly I am looking for beautiful beaches where I can enjoy the surf, sand, and snorkeling without being bugged and begged for money

3:00 pm

i definietly don't want to go to the rainforest, UGH i had enough of that in Costa Rica

3:00 pm

dominica is sadly sort of beach bereft, but if you look you can find some. they have a couple of black sand ones, which is cool. They have loads of sea glass, so I was in heaven.

3:01 pm

ugh. mr. hate has arrived to return the children. Acting awards will now be handed out....bbs

3:01 pm

St. Thomas is pretty good for that lil...

3:01 pm

OK thanks, nrkii , I haven't been to that island

3:01 pm

thats so cool i wanted 2 go with u guys

3:01 pm

I just went for the first time this fall, and I liked it a lot

3:02 pm

I'm generally a Maine person, so going South of Florida was a first for me

3:02 pm

and st. john too... they have underground national park which was pretty cool

3:02 pm

I only got to St John one day for a little hiking

3:03 pm

the park is wonderful... what I saw of it

3:04 pm

it's so easy to get back and forth between St. Thomas and St. John, that next time I go (if there is a next time) I might stay on St. John a few days

3:05 pm

i haven't been there in years, but iI'm sure it's still beautiful.. i said underground...meant underWATER... marked snorkeling trails, etc

3:05 pm

how expensive is it, Dorens or nrkii ???

3:05 pm

procrastinating over... off to finish stripping down the tree

3:05 pm

it wasn't too bad, lil (staying to answer)

3:05 pm

St John's is much smaller than St Thomas, but they have everything from campgrounds to luxury resorts

3:06 pm

TY nrkii

3:06 pm

but the thing that gets you on St Thomas is taxis and food

3:06 pm

stripping the tree is depressing nrk, i agree

3:06 pm

Reethi Beach is fantastic in the Maldives but you need to give a limb to get there it cost us $5000 each for Christmas and New Year from England

3:06 pm

I stayed at a 4 star resort, and the cost for that was not bad (cheapcaribbean.com)

3:07 pm

yikes Katie, $5000 is way over budget for me

3:07 pm

you still have to fly to st thomas and take a ferry over to st john, but i've heard the camping places are very very nice

3:07 pm

thanks for that website, Katie

3:07 pm

but as long as you don't get sucked into the whole duty-free shopping madness (I did) and you plan out your trips to minimize taxi fares (I didn't), you can do alright

3:07 pm

I like the Dom Republic we are going in May but we stop in the resort the whole time

3:07 pm

I also didn't get the all inclusive package, because it was too much money and I don't drink enough to make it worth it

3:08 pm

I went to Gambia and hated it only because of the hassle you got every time you left the hotel

3:08 pm

Hi all I can actually contribute to the conversation! I snorkeled for the first time in Kauai 2 summers ago and it was amazing

3:09 pm

Katie, I was not in a resort, but in a village called Cabarete, we were harassed endlessly

3:09 pm

i must say i've snorkeled all over the caribbean, and the best snorkeling ever (for me) was off of maui

3:09 pm

ANd I too cut myself up on the coral and volcanic rock

3:09 pm

okay, truly, going to get the tree undressed within the next hour... bye all!

3:09 pm

It was more expensive because we did go all inclusive (do we drink enough) and it is always way more expensive to go at the holiday time. 10 days in September would cost about £1500 each - as you can see we have checked :-)

3:09 pm

i've been to Barbados 6 times, I like it there but want someplace new

3:10 pm

yes Dorens, i have snorkeled in Maui and it was sooooo beautiful

3:10 pm

We were at the Princeville on th e north western side of the Island nerar Hanaleigh Bay if I remember corectly

3:11 pm

I know it's horrible but I don't want to see how the locals live I want to sit in the sun, drink, eat, read and relax (in no particular order) so I always go all inclusive and very rarely leave the hotel

3:11 pm

Hanalei, yes that's beautiful MaMaWa

3:12 pm

That's why I love the Maldives, there is noone to hassle you, you can't leave and the snorkelling is out of this world.

3:12 pm

Kauai is not as touristy as the big island

3:12 pm

and quite beautiful

3:12 pm

i agree with you Katie... i want to bask in the sun and enjoy my holdiay

3:12 pm

would love to try it, katie, but the maldives are a bit harder to get to for us in the states -- maybe someday

3:12 pm

We are looking at Aruba for 2010, has anyone ever been there?

3:13 pm

yes, Katie, I liked Aruba

3:13 pm

Although Ive never been to the other Hawaiian Islands , my sister and hubby have and they took me with them on this particular holiday

3:13 pm

of all the islands I've been to, I thought Aruba had the warmest water

3:13 pm

nice resorts with nice beaches

3:13 pm

Oh that sounds very promising

3:14 pm

MaMa, Hanalei means "crescent-shaped", there is a Hanalei Bay on Kauai and on Maui too

3:14 pm

Hubby and I went to Jamaica a few years back and Idont think I would want to wander too far off the property

3:14 pm

also, Katie, the people speak English, and the food is quite good

3:14 pm

it has some incredible shopping if you like that , for jewelry

3:15 pm

Yes Lil that is correct , Sister has been to Maui

3:15 pm

MaMaWa, I lived on Oahu for 3 years when i was a little lil*monkey

3:15 pm

i always wanted to goto aruba and barbados

3:15 pm

LOL lil

3:16 pm

I never thought i really cared about going there., mostly because of the flight , but I loved it

3:16 pm

Aruba is an interesting mix of Dutch people and dark-skinned people (who are a mix of several ethnicities)

3:17 pm

My brother in law is native Californian and likes to vacation in the Hawaiis

3:17 pm

Oh it sounds really great

3:17 pm

the Dutch people are as white as rice, and the dark people are very dark

3:18 pm

like brown rice, or darker?

3:18 pm

hi all

3:18 pm

wild rice?

3:18 pm

hi Krista

3:18 pm

hey im stuck can some one give me a hint

3:18 pm

3:18 pm

hi Krista

3:18 pm

3:19 pm

Hey Krista

3:19 pm

Katie, I stayed at a "mom & pop" place right on the beach, VERY reasonable, run by a married couple. The man is Dutch (so WHITE his skins blinds you) and his wife is a native and she is very dark. They were so much fun and so nice, we had a few meals together

3:19 pm

the programing in this game is not great because they dont have buttons

3:51 pm

hi je!

3:51 pm

yes, foxes are gorgeous

3:51 pm

jmc...what's wrong with your icon

3:51 pm

very beautiful animals. and rare to see (at least for me) so quite stunning

3:51 pm

edgy...buttons for what?

3:51 pm

who has the se5 right after the se6 that is a homonym for breakfast flakes ???

3:52 pm

yes, beautiful . . . I used to see a small one often in the late afternoon but no more . . .

3:52 pm

the letters

3:52 pm

I like Wolves.. they are so... wolfy..

3:52 pm

on the board

3:52 pm

monkey, rhymes with the boat over the river styxx

3:52 pm

se5 rhymes with Rasp***** or Straw*****

3:52 pm

that is not the way the game is designed, edgy -- typing is faster than pushing buttons.

3:52 pm

lil, it rhymes with the small red fruit with the pit in it

3:52 pm

a dirigible?

3:53 pm

oh that's weird!

3:53 pm

3:53 pm

si5...**e dick run, pl

3:53 pm

it's what I am greatful for--my son

3:53 pm

edgy...what would the buttons do?

They never found her?

Lot of kids missing...never to be heard from again...very sad :(

scary

3:56 pm

down to ONE word

3:56 pm

edgy...you'll just have to keep trying to find words the old fashioned way

3:56 pm

5:22 pm

i have been soooooooo disappointed in Tiki Barber, I thought he'd be pretty good , I mean after all, he graduated from Univ of Virginia, but he's a terrible speaker

5:22 pm

5:25 pm

Where do you get those?

5:25 pm

I got a frozen pizza- for- one, for $1.25, and just gobbled it down. I could have eaten 2.

5:26 pm

Yes, please, that su6 that Min mentioned as her last word.

5:26 pm

Scrabs, my grocery store (Food Lion) has a special every so often, 10 frozen pizzas for $10

5:27 pm

I'm back! I've just 3 more to go.

5:27 pm

su6 is su + diet food is *ow ***orie

5:27 pm

S**tan of Arabia + Ruru's state, abbrev.

5:27 pm

I shopped after skiing so I bought the pizza. I try to not have any "bad" stuff here. e.g. ice cream speaks to me from the freezer--it taunts me, it dares me to eat it up.

5:27 pm

oh scrabs, forgot i could give you a medical cl4... deep narrow groove, like in the brain

5:28 pm

Hi jjks

5:28 pm

su5 is plural and su6 is adverb form

5:28 pm

The su6/24 word is su + a consonant plus west coast state abbreviation Scrabbler.

5:28 pm

TY for su6--I did think of the brain word and tried variations, but not that one.

5:28 pm

Hi, jjks

Good, aslindy

6:10 pm

6:10 pm

I am doing ok, thanks for asking.

6:10 pm

Hi, Krista

6:10 pm

Hello Krista! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

6:11 pm

I thought I'd try to find some more words while I eat my supper.

6:11 pm

I'm trying to decide where to list my books (some of them antique) online...

6:11 pm

I am well aslindy.Waiting for the Golden Globe Awards

6:11 pm

oh, I had forgotten those are on tonight. thanks for the reminder.

6:12 pm

Does anyone here buy used books online?

6:12 pm

I wonder if Gwen could give you some advice..is she still around (to Jellen)? I had some, too, and was supposed to send her a list of them but never got around to it.

6:12 pm

i do all the time Jellen, usually on half.com

6:12 pm

I am surprised at how many people did not know they were on tonight. Other babblers didn't know either

6:12 pm

She's on Facebook, if you need to get in touch with her.

6:12 pm

i sell them there too

6:12 pm

That's a good idea, Krista...

6:13 pm

this has to be one of the strangest grids ever

6:13 pm

Half.com won't take the older editions, just books in print...I buy from them, too...

6:13 pm

eBay just doesn't seem like a good place anymore, but I don't know an alternative

6:14 pm

i totally agree aslindy!

6:14 pm

jjks, where are u talking about, half.com? I scrolled down but couldn't find your comment

what has happened to ebay?? it used to be a great find

6:14 pm

ok, nevermind, I see it

6:14 pm

ah, i see...hmm...my sister lists on another board for antique books, i'll find out for you

how strange is it?? I am listless here ya know!!!

6:15 pm

(((mrp))) you survived the inlaws?

6:15 pm

Hi all - remember Powells.com fpr buying and selling new and used books!

6:15 pm

i sell and buy books on half.com - just got the book the movie the duchess was based on

6:15 pm

hello all. I can clue for a few minutes, just realized I don't have to have ALL the reading done until Wednesday -- one selection left to get through and then a short paper to write...

SSHHHHHH stid ***I am still here***... hiding at the end of the dining table, hoping no one will notice me

6:16 pm

never heard of Powells..thanks..just thought of Alibris

6:16 pm

yes, powell's -- and for taking up an entire DAY in Portland (why oh why did they need to put in a coffeeshop?)

6:16 pm

I'll check into Powell's, Birdeee

6:16 pm

Mr P...rofl

6:16 pm

stidmama, i meant to tell you that i finished a grad. program last june and understand what you mean about going back to school, workload, etc

6:16 pm

LOL mrp! *sits down next to mrp and hides laptop from others*

louse

6:16 pm

6:17 pm

6:17 pm

I've been considering alibris...

6:17 pm

http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /babbleclues.html

6:17 pm

you CAN do it, I didn't think I could, but it's just a one day at a time thing

6:17 pm

if you find a good place, let me know Dorens...listing books is a real pain, especially ones that do not have isbn numbers..like all older ones!

thanks babrab LOL

6:17 pm

why are you selling books jellen? *considers heretical nature of the act*

6:18 pm

lol

you would think lickety would have given that to me LOL

6:18 pm

mrp, I'm going to the prospective in-laws for next weekend...

6:18 pm

Tom and I are buying MORE shelves to put in the bedroom -- have the old ones refilled, with only about the same amount of books still in boxes...

6:19 pm

Oh, stid, I have tons of books I've inherited from both sides of the family...

6:19 pm

*gasp* PROSPECTIVE IN-LAWS??? Jellen!! are you and Tim... *whispers* "engaged"

What book was the Duchess based on? Hi all!

6:19 pm

hello autumn!

6:19 pm

6:20 pm

oh, okay... *calms down* then I won't rush out and buy you a matched set of salad bowls *wicked grin*

6:20 pm

9:32 pm

not yet Met

9:32 pm

Evening all. May I please have a clue for du6-24 the 2nd? Thanks.

jellen, if you got ot a dealer you will not get top dollar for them. if you want top dollar then the best place is an auction site, and the most eyeballs is ebay. (however, that's not the whole story)

9:32 pm

That's pugmama's Cupid, Jellen

9:32 pm

Sleep sweetly, lbd...

9:33 pm

Refresh your page, Sis

9:33 pm

bye lbd thx

9:33 pm

I've been looking at alibris...

if you just want to move them out of the house, then go to your local dealer -- phone first and say you have books to sell, they will ask you about them to determine wither they think you have anything they think they can sell

9:33 pm

du4.6 + there's always room for jel**, *poof*

9:33 pm

oh..

9:34 pm

ok i see it now ... better

i sell on alibris. they are the least "evil" of the Big Three, IMO. meaning they have the fewest policies that screw their vendors. so to speak

9:34 pm

I'd kinda like to make this a marginally profitable hobby...

9:35 pm

Thanks much, Ibdawger.

9:35 pm

Hi, peach!

9:35 pm

ty dawger

you want profit, then you want eyeballs, and you get the most eyeballs on amazon. however, amazon has the highest fees. there is no simple answer

9:35 pm

Hi, Jellen. How are you tonight?

9:36 pm

I cannot get the UR 5/14...may I please have a clue?

9:36 pm

I'm doing well, and you?

u + not fake

9:36 pm

ur + 2nd vowel + 2/3 frozen water

9:36 pm

I'm OK...just trying to keep warm.

9:36 pm

you could come here to be warm

9:37 pm

Bless u Jellen!

9:37 pm

it was 81 today

9:37 pm

Wish I could travel right now...

the best site in terms of not being screwed in TomFolio.com. it is cooperatively owned by bookdealers. simple monthly fee. no commission, no "closing fee," no crap.

9:37 pm

gwen, thank you but i have that one already.

eeyore, oops, ! 8-)

in = is (previous post

9:38 pm

1st ca6, pls, the ca6.24?

9:38 pm

evening, dr :)

9:38 pm

yea Gwen!

9:39 pm

ah, i'd not tried the plural, ty, jellen

jellen, yes, tomfolio is very low in the eyes department. as one who prefers to do business ethically, i prefer of course to not do business with the Big Three, but for ecomonic reasons I do anyway. it's a crappy world in that sense

9:39 pm

hello 60 to go

9:40 pm

Hi Harp

9:40 pm

I hear that!

9:40 pm

Go, harp!

9:40 pm

9:41 pm

du + j**** (gelatin salad)

i sell on Tomfolio, amazon, and alibris. Abe is the worst of the Big Three and i refuse to sell there. ebaY is pretty shitty to vendors as well, although i put things up there now and again if I think they have auction potential

9:42 pm

9:42 pm

thnx, Jellen now for the DU 5/14

9:42 pm
