Clues are up
thx lickety!
Thanks, lickety
thanks Lickety!!!
What do you mean by, "clues are up"? I'm new here...
thanks lickety
Lickety's Babble Clues (link at bottom of page)
Ohh, okay. Thanks. :)
open it in another window and place the windows side-by-side for help if you want it
rElise, go down to Friends of Babble and Lickety's Babble Clues -- oppen them in a new window. But also to go the Help just above this chatterbox
I'll probably do that after I struggle on my own for a bit, haha.
we do that alot!!!
welcome to the grid!
NBT finally
Thank you. :) I Stumbled this site, it's awesome.
Lickety lists the first 2 letters of the words, how long they are, and what they score. Big help
already, josh????
you shall be assimilated soon!! resistance is futile!
NBT is a fairly easy thing to get quickly if you focus on that at the start
SE 6/7
speak for yourself, josh -- that's what I always do
hi all..popping in for 10 before bed!
I wouldn't be surprised if I stuck around. I love mental stimulation of all types. ;)
se7
hi kaz
and i'm out of practice! i haven't done but one puzzle in the past month and a half
SA 6
rElise, you ain't seen nuttin yet
RO 6
Well, haha, I only got like 50 words for the last one

HI Kazz
you'll get better...its addicting! ;)
be6
ho6
hi all! howdy hug, pini; hugs jili
ir6
Hi Dee
;)
hi dee hi
li6
thx Dee =]
ho hugs
So when you list it, it's like... if the word is "ball" then it'd be ba4, right?
sa6
i thought seahorse was a word???
ir7
ho6 x 2
vas thats what i would have thought too
no, rElise, it would be ba4/6 because B scores 3 pts
Oh. Okay, but without the points, it's ba4?
there no A next to a B...so ba4 doesn't work in this grid
Or do you always list points?
yes, rElise, but it's a lot better to think of the points
hypothetically, yes, rEliseme
se 8
Gotcha. Thanks for your help, guys. :)
(I'll be quiet now)
if someone says ho6 X 2 then hey have found two different six-letter words beginning with ho
hi ruru...how are the adventures coming along?
Pinikula, I was just curious about the notation so I used a word that wouldn't be cheating for anyone, haha
so far so much fun pini .. I am having a good time
ruru is it a word we would know?
late flip - will start but probably not finish this one - another busy day tomorrow
ar6 x 2
josh?...
glad to hear it, ruru...
if you are portuguese
that's good, rElise -- we don't post real words in the chat
yes?
hi jilli
Elise...that's what I figured after I read a couple of lines before...
TO 6
hi flosey -- what's keeping you busy?
who you callin a ho?
hi ruru
lol
2 more for NBT! ;) [NBT = no blank tiles = at least 1 word from each tile]
left column grey (big hairy deal)
I'm hosting lunch/AH bridge tomorrow - but have to take it to my partner's place as our bridge is not finished and cannot ask people to walk in from the road
breaks out clippers for jilliis hairy left column..
si6
bridge not finished, flosey? What's that about?
thank you so much, ruru
now at least you can see them
we've had to have the bridge resurfaced - was to be done before the big snowfall!
so we have to park at the gate and walk in across a couple of planks
so glad, ruru :D
funny, flosey -- no bridge because no bridge ;)
lol
how many words?
66 words down i am out poof
253
uggg
bye mlf
oh, so "hotten" isn't a word - as in hotten up the coffee. My dad said it is a real Indiana-ism, right up there with do-less (accent 1st syllable, I feel so do-less - no get-up-&-go)
cute melon! ;)
Haha, God bless Indiana.
anyone call the sa 7?
yes but ro6/18 is what happens when you leave the apples out too long
lol have lived in IN for 53 years and have never heard hotten or do-less... interesting
phantom: sardine
notten isnt a word either. Notten honey.
I'm still at a loss as to what
really clear thoughts is the sa 7
ns" means... Tennessee-ism.
Oops! I accidentally hit enter... I'm still at a loss as to what "You'ns" means. It's a tennessee-ism. I think it's something similar to "you-ones" but no one ever says that anyway.
sometimes we are, too, rElise... * giggle *

hi
Earlier, there was a ckue for SE 7 - something to do with a Spanish lady and Onasis ????
No idea Christine
Well, it's been ab amazing day - now it's time for a cuppa ...
Good Lord -- SE7/28 is a Latin verse. Haven't had anything to do with that for sixty years
hi christine :)
Hello ... what a day!!!
I'll say! got up at 3am to watch your history
It has
hi infern :)
waves
infern, has it cooled down by you??
we got a shocker of a storm and now the wind is blowing rain all around
?? not your president ?? I'm a Brit, but I live here, so I figure he's mine, too.
I'm an Aussie, just waving the flag today
yes slowly. we have aircon at home. not their now. erk i hope the storm wasn't too bad
Are you in Australia, or US?
in Australia... Sydney
oh dear. I am a bad furmom
I watched from 3am - 7am... then slept for a couple of hours. Had to see it :D
hi ata :D
ata, what did you do to the poor beast
Some day, I'm coming down under ... 48 yewars ago I was on my way to Australia, stopped off here for a year, and never made it all the way down.
I Bathed Her
LOL Christine!
And how many new holes do you have in your body now ata??
oh, that's supposed to be years
none, but I did get a bath full of pond weed and nasty black stuff that took 1/2 an hour to clean, and I do have a spaniel giving me *eyes*
ewwwwwwwww why did Hobbit do that
poor hobbit LOL! funny when they give you the *eye*... trust issues! LOL
there's a country park near us which is an old gunpowder works - it's amazing, loads of holes and things to investigate for doggies, loads of little canals to play in. Today she managed to play in the stinky canal. Normally I manage to keep her out of that one, but she sneaked in today
ewww stinky puppy
My darling departed Lia had to get shaved (she was a long hair silver australian cat) cause she decided it would be a great idea to lay down in wet cement! And once that stuff sets.....
OMG!!!!!!!!!
wow
how - wow - the mind boggles - poor vet dealing with that!
she loved water!
I swear she had some Turkish Fantail in her genes
some cats just do, my ex-cat used to swim around in the bath with me
they are so amazing! Lia would hop in the shower with me!
Pandora likes baths but not sure of lucius monster
Dang, my DDs cat does that - sits at the dry-er end of the shower, and tries to catch the water
I would bathe Lia every 2 weeks in Summer... she loved it! Any opportunity, she followed me to the bathroom thinking I would wet her
Lucius tried to ''save me '' from the shower yesturday
She is so so sorely missed :((
I am going to put a pic of her up... brb
ok Lia is with us now
what a regal girl!
She was prettu
isn't she divine!!
I have pictures of her up around the house... Lickety carries her tag on his keyring, I carry a pic of her in my wallet.... how much we love our pets
norrr that is cute
I am having a lot of trouble finding a clipart jpeg of fruit!! I just need an apple!
you checked the microsoft website?
get an apple and take a photo of it :P
ata, I want a cartoon-like pic... not the real thing! LOL
ok ill look now
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/clip art/default.aspx
I have put in 12 hours of work already, that I won't be invoicing for... this pic finding thing is taking up my time
sorry i cant tiny it have been streamed

google > clipart apple > go to images there are loads and loads
or that too
ok, will do so
Sad is I am out haven't been home for 3 hours i miss tghe kitties
awwww
I think Hobbit's forgiven me, she's sitting on myfeet
hi hobbit
Goodnight -- it's 3:06, and I've been up since 5:30 -- what a day, but I hear my pillow calling.

Dang it Sea Ho? is my phantom. ANd ata
morning all
Kaz how are you today?
hi kaz
getting better - the ribs and legs and just about everything still aches but i cant spin out the time between painkillers a bit longer now
oops i meant can spin out the time
that is good Kaz
yay good!
i am getting there. i will be back to work on Monday
Wow. You did a really good job there on falling Kazz
yes - seems that the really bad pain from pulling the muscles in the left side of my chest hid a whole raft of other problems, i have also done something to my left leg - i can only sit on hard chairs where my thigh is completely supported, i had to go to bed last night because it was so uncomfortable.
Oh. Kazz have you also seen the doc again
yes - defo a pulled muscles on the left side - thinks is the pectoral muscle. that has calmed donw now so that i can feel the ribs again the right side - but i ned to go back to work - as much as i love babble daytime tele is destroying my brain
Poor Kaz
still it got me off work for 2 weeks which is always nice in january - i also managed to do some home planning stuff that i never seemd to find time to do and get the diaries ready for 2009 - me and hubby have a big plan for this year and it needed to be formalised which i have been doing
thats a good thing
Morning all....clue please for ah6/21 please?
a + equine
thanx Atal....
bus stop launch number one half complete - secondo is turfing school. oh the DRAMA of middle school!
G'd morning Babblers! Be this a poopy grid?
turfing?
on reflection, yes it is
Trifs why doesn't she want to go?
lori, your icon is adorable!
lol, great. I'll prob'ally havta' list later on. Yuk
Thanks Tri, too much time on my hands...... :D
Ata Turfing = skiping
well, she had a run in on friday by the school bully girl. that prob has something to do with it....the school knows it happened, and they are addressing the bad girl, but secondo is milking this for all it's worth
OOOH, cowboy bebop is on... night all!!
nite mr p
Night Mr Pres.
She should go back to school. I hate bullies and what i would like to do to said person isn't nice
with the school bully girl, even
she also has a cold,. not the plague, mind you.
:( my friend just had his van stolen. His stuff was in it. He is now left with 2 shirts and pants.
oh no!
YEs. I am only slowly getting information now
i hope he had insurance!
I dont know but i know that he pretty much had his travelling life in it.
He has only been in town 7 days
good morning everyone
G'd morning Eva
hi eva!
Hi Eva
GM Babble
thought it was supposed to be warming up this morning and planned on a nice walk, but it is -14F, so I think the walk is going to be on the treadmill in the basement. have to give in to the fact that spring is a long, long ways away
ata, your icon would be beautiful as a mosaic...mind if i save the image?
OH that seems a tad warm Eva
it is going to warm up here in boston later this week, eva, so perhaps you will get it on friday or saturday?
go for it, just please tell me if you do do something with it!
of course! mind you, I am dead slow.
G'd morning Kristine
I just liking keeping an eye on what ppl with my designs :P
Ata is that one of you images?
Got a bag full of broken china plates last week from a friend, and still haven't figured out just what to do with them.
send it this way trif. I was planning on maybe heading down there for a few days, but Merp is just getting over whatever he got through travel stress last month when we were in JP, so it will have to wait
yep, it's the centrepiece of a much bigger picture
sure thing, eva! sending warm thoughts your way, anyway
Cool Ata.
ho

this grid is not offering up the bigger words at ALL. I haven't got anything more than a 6 all morning.
HI Angel

Two inauguration parties yesterday which I cooked for, so need a very quiet, non-news day.
ar
ari
angel-have you got a hairball stuck in your thraot?
*hork hork*
thoat. you knew what I meant anyway
ah
***sends healing vibes to Angel's keyboard and throat***
I know trif-I have 2 7's and none of the 8's. It's not usually that hard to find the long ones
night
Hello all. Brrrr. 12 degrees here.
good morning babblers
GM Scrab
gm josh
Sleep well, herin. Hi Josh.
G'd morning chilly Scrabbler. :)
12 is downright tropical srabbs
good night, herin dear
hi kris
Hey Lynn
Can't type this moring
scrabbler, that sounds like a 3 dog - or in your case, rabbit - night alright!
too cold to type Eva !!
It's all relative, isn't it, Eva?
yes-and too food sodden from yesterday's celebrations
2 layers of clothes, 1 fleece blanket, 2 comforters, one dwarf bunny= nice night of sleep.
does anyone have clues for the 8's?
i dont have a single one
morning, all
I've been looking for the al and sa for ages.
I just finished the bottow row Eva, there's an sa 8 from there
Hi fuqua
gm fuqu
headrot should be a word
I'm suffering from that right now Ata !!
exactly! ditto!
Sometimes I experience headrot, LOL. Goodone,Ata.
could you say a bit more lori?
s + the act of setting illegal fires (spelt wrong, change 2nd vowel) for a 6, then extend for an 8
sorry, I know that gave a word away but it was too good not to mention
clever Lorikins!
good morning all
*hugs jor*
gm jor
The extension is our little alien friend who phones home.....
thanks lori!
you just used a word lori(-:
It's the only 8 I have though.... :D
thanks a million lori, which is how long it would have taken me to monkey that!
Bottom row done, now I can set the page how I like it, and pretend I don't have 240 left to find!
the def of the 6 is really interesting!
is sea h____ really two separate words?
time for breakfast. See you all later
Later Eva. Have soem Captain Crunch for me!
Back--I had to make breakfast & lunch.
39 A WORDS??????? WHAT THE HELLLLL
one bite at a time, carlee, one bite at a time
((jorjah))--how are you?
something is ro6 in the state of Denmark
TY, Ata
somethin is ro6 in the state of babble!
(random BR style cluing!)
I am now a PRO
that got my money because the got all you wonderful people
truthfully, still in just total disbelief...I cannot wrap my mind around it....34 just way way way too young thanks for asking...
Congratulations sue.
welcome sue!
congrats sue!
jorj, I don't know what has been happening with you, but it sounds like you need a lot of hugs right now. I am not prying, just want you to know you are being thought of
Yes, a life cut short, with no explanation, no justification for us. Grief sucks and there is no fix, only time. I still forget that my dear friend, MAry,has died,and I often think about calling her, then realize she is gone.
ty all
now I have an ICON
woohoo!
thanks Trif and no one here pry's ya'll are about the best group of folks I have ever met...amazing a screen and some electrical wires can give a source of strength that once upon a time woulda never even been dreamed of
does that make me iconic or harry *onic
Sue,pick a flag and then a littleperson icon, pink, grey or blue.
Well, nice to meet sure from planet earth!
or, as my daughter says, "the little pink purses"
I did that yesterday Scrab, I was trying to think what to fix to take over to the house and before I realized it, I had her speed number on my cell phone and was about to call it to see what she was taking
did it work?
I see a picture of a vehicle sue, and you're a human from planet earth
Jorjah, get scrapbooks, photo albums and journals for the family. Talk, talk, talk. Cry, cry,cry. And somehow a new normal becomes accepted, one without a loved one in our physical presence.
that is really good advice, scrab!
where do I get my flag from?
i find talking to the person who left helps too - just talk to the air, and I swear, you will feel her there
trying really hard to sell the car
lol sue. Marketing is everything. :p
Normalize the emotions for the kids. Sadness, anger, confusion....but everyone MUST go on living. That is what she would want.
sometimes I think it's fair for me to lose ppl...I mean I am 45 and the older you get the more you will lose, but those sweet sweet boys... it just eats my guts, like I mean I really got physically ill yesterday
Yep, and every week when I play with Mary's kids I think SHE should be with her kids, not me. I do talk to her a lot.
There was 3 of us, that always did things together so my remaining one, we decided we are going to do a family cookbook. We both have stacks of scraps of paper where Mandi would write down recipees and bring them to us
NBT
Jorjah, I lost a friend when she was 21. But she had cystic fibrosis and 21 was amazing. I can tell you that the way I dealt with it then and ever since, is that i treature the season I had with her
Go Trif, you word-seeking beast!
that is a great idea, jorj
God doesnt tell us how long we have, just that we should cherish our loved ones for as long as we have them and celebrate them always
Aw, kids, I need to get ready for work. ((jorjah))--honorand immemorialize your cousin.
i know, sounds like a sermen, but it helps me
i do agree, sue, really I do, but sometimes the injustice of it chafes. sometimes god gets horns.
(((scrab)))) have a good day and tysoooo much
you just have to get through it in whatever way works for you
Left column = grey. Whoop-dee-doo for me.
in the Jew faith, we plant a tree for the passing ones
ari
Jorjah, it hurts so bad because she was so beloved.
go scrab, you word-finding beast
and for the new ones
ani
ani....ken Skywalker?
no flag :(
lori! you are so so so funny!
where is my flag and pink person?
oooo anakin *dreams*
We have a kid in our practice named Anikin!!!
Good job Scrabs, have a Richard free day!
Go to your account, Sue.
Bye!!!!!!!!!!
sue, refresh your page prob'ally will work
did, filled out state and sex
what's a richard free day? oh, wait a sec....
lets see
nope
Remeber to click "update profile" sue?
{{jorjah}} the cookbook is a lovely idea...{{HUGS}}
now?
argggggg
It's not in your profile when I operned it, so you prob'ally forgot to click update, save or whatever it says, I can't remember..... ***curses chat lag on my end***
harase
going to the PB
i dont think you have to go, it's not a real word
it doesnt like me
do we send people if it is not a word?
true, I am a horrid speller
I need the chocolate
starting a diet...arg....
curse that word
NOW you have to go - nice one, sue!
Public flogging of potential infractions is still advisable.
okay, lori, thanks, I wasn't sure what the PB rules were
hello everyone
hi annie hows u?
annie! lovely to see you and the aurora again
Annie!!!!!! Like pirates, the rules are occasionally guidelines.

YEA.....my flag is a flying

Hi Atalante, what a beautiful icon...is it your design?

Car.eeyore - love your Icon. Space Ghost rules!

No, TO. I did NOT participate in that particular mania. I've been hitting the gym rather hard lately and my back is just reminding me I'm not as young and limber as I used to be. More like "lumber" now.
judi: i don't hate you. have a good massage.

Hey Judi...Babble had crashed over here and I just got back on. Thank you for your note! I love Space Ghost...he makes me laugh and laugh and laugh!
Best to watch Space Ghost when slighly drunk. Very hilarious.
He is never on anymore though!
Hi can anyone clue the al6/18 plz? Just can't make sense of it at all.
And while it is even funnier while intoxicated...I don't need to be!
have never seen space ghost - where is it?
Cartoon Network (if they have that in your area) used to have it on late at night as part of "Adult Swim".
al 6/18 is a plural, sandie
al6/18 i have is plural of straighten
Now it is only on Adult Swim occasionally. My latest listing search came up blank :-(
I'm sure there's some tidbits of it on You Tube somewhere.
Even funnier... Robot Chicken.
Oh Duh!!! How did I miss that!!! Thanks Temple.
Oh dear. I have to stop drinking this Starbucks coffee. I'm starting to feel "the buzz".
judi i tasted beer that tasted like coffe on saturday. it was yucky.
Haven't seen that yet, but will give it a try. Trif loves that Mystery Science Space Theater (or what have you) but I never got into it.
Yuck, TO. Beer and coffee do NOT go together. I think that's written down somewhere.
i hate coffee. it was actually a smoked porter.
what is the al5? if I may ask
it was the smoke i guess - dark choco tastes like coffee to me, too
Ha Ha, Car! Yes, Mystery Science Theater 3000. Re-scripting bad sci-fi dialogue. Haven't seen it in ages though.
al5= et
it is either to straighten or foregin
al5= ET, I mean
it is either to straighten or foreign
Clue for AL7 & 8??
one who straightens/pl
al 5/10 + either/**
Ty, ty.
Tim's making me leave to go run errands...See you all later...
bye Jellen. hi Tom
He's being mean...I want to Babble!
Feign unconciousness, Jellen.
No good, Judi...I'm in the same room with him...he can hear the taptaptaping of the keys...
Men. They're so needy.
Alas and alack....Big sigh... and *poof*
it's times like these i wish i had the list....i will never go back tonight to finish the grid.
ty TO for the al5
you just deny yourself TOwl?
i do. it's the new me.
I liked the old TO.
*dangles fudge on end of fishing pole* deny this!
the b words are pi**ing me off.
*chekcs train for next one to wilmington*STOP THAT!
Is the self-denial a New Year's resolution? Like the one ruru made?
I have only recently discovered that part of lickety which tell you how many words start with the 2 letters (that wasn't explained well!). It's a nice alternative to using the full list
*Gasp!* You throwing me under the Acela, TO???
Hello Haz
no. i am taking one to get to that fudge. is it fro mlinvilla orchards?
Hello lynxxx. Up early to get the coolness of the day?
Alas, it is only virtual fudge. Don't waste your money on a train ticket.
*sob*
grumble - no Ken not only came to bed (cheek) but then put the fan on and totally disturbed me...nearly 5am and I have the big fan on already! don't function well in warm weather at all
it's just a matter of i don't feel like it or have other things to do, tonight it's the lost premiere. and when i get the new job i will eally have to make a decision, maybe only to babble on weekends and days off.
What's the new job, TO?
lynxxx: send some heat this way please.
kring on project to reviewtraining curricula for our new SAP/ERP system.
Poor lynxxx. At least if it's cold you can bundle up. Too warm and it's unpleasant.
Sounds very technical and important. Hope you are looking forward to it.
SAP/ERP? as in computer software?
judi: it's get the old folks wring all their knowledge out and then make it unplesant so they will leave i fear.
Oh, ARRRG. Lost is back. My husband will probably force me to watch it with him. Why can't 24 be on every night?
i;m with the govt. i can make ANYTHING sound technical and imporatant.
LOL!
And there I was thinking it was Salt And Pepper/Extra Rations Please. I think about food too much.
ok can someone plesae give me the first two for the 8 words other than the al i have? ty
ok can someone plesae give me the first two for the 8 words other than the al i have? ty yes lynxxx
mmmmmmm food
sa8
se8
se8 think spanish
se 8 -- it is Portuguese
ty lynxxx. actually it's portuguese.
now to find sa8
close then. lol
yes they are so very close
close enough to be an excellent clue
does sa8 use the ise ending?
hi BabRab
hello br
Good clues. Made the cat purr like a helicopter.
No, the little al5/10 ending
Hi, BR! Well, I have to pop off for a bit. Little laundry to do and some other menial chores. Fooey.

hello everyone *splash*
hi Cybernan
Hello cybernan.
hi nan. bye nan. bye all.
Bye TO.
May I please have a clue for the HA 6/24?
bye to
ha6/24 - past tense of verb of possession, past president Reagan.
TY Haz. I was all around it!
You're welcome.
love that word
Do you remember FM's clue for it that shocked us before?
yes!
Oh good!
she's outrageous
Absolutely impossible.
what can we blame her for today?
No sense of shame.
Global warming?
that's a good one
Hobbit being scared of my Wii too
Traffic jams?
just checked the log -- those se-sa clues have me baffled
what's wrong with seahorse?
this grid, definitely
se8 - plural Portugese form of address for married woman (put a consonant into the Spanish form)
my having to come back to work after a 4-day weekend?
sa8 - a type of fabric, ending in what some fishermen use to catch fish.
She made you come back to work after a 4 day weekend? Has she no pity?
cruel. just CRUEL.
Cybernan - is sea-horse hyphenated?
awful!
got the sa thanks, but still truing to figure out the portugese lady
CRUEL and wicked. But then we've come to expect nothing less.
I don't think so haz
got a clue for the AL8?
cybernan - begin with the Spanish lady (first three letters) then first three letters of an equine, finishing up with vowel and plural.
ah -- found it!
al8 - plural of al7/28 - to ET add a word used in alternatives.
interesting...
cybernan - looked up dictionary.com and you're right, no hyphen.
ahh, but since when has enable done what we want/need/desire/wish/bed for it to do?
But it gives two separate words in Oxford dictionary.
wow, I got a film and TV question right on EGgheads! This is generally unheard of
What was the question?
Who made their directorial debut with "The Indian Runner"
And Ata, did you see University Challenge this week? It finished 335 to 50. Jeremy told the losing team that they just didn't know enough.
I don't know!
oh dear!!
poor Univesity Challenge team!
It was Sean Penn. I only know cos the film stars Viggo Mortensen and I have it tucked away in my Viggo collection
I know. An Oxford versus a Cambridge college.
think I''m going to be hitting the list early on this one
who won?
All I know about Sean Penn is that he was once married to Madonna.
I think it was the Cambridge college.
yay for Cambridge!
Queens Cambridge versus Lincoln Oxford.
May I please have a clue for the first NA 5/10?
that's just awful, poor team!
Sean Penn is getting better and better as an actor
na5/10 - na plus initials of terrorist organisation
Hi all.....clue please for the FIRST sa5/10 please?
It was quarter finals and they had performed well up until now.
Can i have a clue for the first la5 please??
sa5/10 - Spanish version of saint, male style
yes, he is
la5/10 - la plus Mr Onassis

You're welcome!

can't be CIA - no c
thanx haz ;o)
Okay, na plus one of the Gershwin brothers
how about the second sa5/10?
OK, that I got!
The terrorist organisation is no longer in operation, maybe I should say ex-terrorist?
they don't know our terrorist organisations!
not quite sure who "they" is
Oh Ata, you make it sound as though we have proprietorial rights on them! I'm just glad they're ex.

thanks, Katie, see you all tomorrow
Hi all, anyone have the al 6/24
OMG my husband will go ape when I tell him!!! He's crossing east to west April/May time unsupported

la5.10 la & Mr Onassis
ty teach
well his tent will be pretty smelly too I imagine lol
you've never known smelly until you get sleeping bags that have been used all expedition season - ie about 3 months of smelly men sleeping in them with no washing!
hi, everyone. anyone have the ha6/24, please?
I can't wait to tell him - he may well leave me and move in with you though lol He already thinks you are pretty wonderful coz of the whole art/cocker/ interest in Peru thing - think this may top it!

Yes Katie, Careless I call it
ty lynxxx
then one morning we got up - there were 4 of us, all females - and looked out at the fjord and there were herds of narwhals travelling down the fjord. Looking for fossils vanished for a long while!
The fjords in Norway Ata?
(we were the first all female expedition team in that part of Greenland, I *think*)
that would have been wonderful!
Greenland, Bichon, east coast up at the ice cap
Narwhals are amzingly weird creatures aren't they. How wonderful to see them in the wild for real
we used to feed all the canned sardines we got to the local arctic foxes because it was disgusting. they loved it though
Ata - http://www.greenland09.com/
oh dear, i went to read BBC news and missed why pini sniffled when i finished
wow!!! oh lucky him!!
We were a lot further north, just above halfway up Greenland
sardines are a banned subject
looooool that unpleasant an experience was it?
Lucky him huh! He's spent the last four years ditching me for the Arctic!!!
I've had better ways of falling to sleep
but but but the Arctic is so *wonderful*
so is liz!!!!
Noooo Ata....deserts and hot dry places are wonderful....
AWWWWWWWWWWW Katie! That ws lovely :))
yw Liz, I also agree on deserts and hot dry places
I like hot dry places and very cold places. As long as they are interesting
Hiya fellow Babblers!
I'm more shallow, as long as I can swim and sunbathe that's all I care about
Hi beachboggle
Actually I loved the desert last year and would love to cross the Sinai and the Sahara but I pretty much love anywhere , as you say, that is interesting
LOL Katie
Hey Babble Family !
if Simon wants to go off again after this year, we should just do our own expedition somewhere fun
hi Aussie :)
hi Beach & Aussie
Hi Aussie, how you doing?
hi Aussie!
Great idea Ata! Where'd you have in mind
Hey Liz, Lynx !
hi all! HI AUSSIE!!!
Hey Katie, Ata !
Hey Pug !
how is the lovely miss Georgia?
hi Pug
hi lynxxxy
oh oh I know! Egypt, out to the oases of Siwa (where the armies of Cambyses vanished, there was an oracle there). Is desert all the way. Or Sinai. Or Morocco. Northern Africa anyway!
Georgia Smurf is fine, I'll brb, I'm trying to adopt a monkey at the moment !! gimme a few minutes.....

or both :P
Traversa: A Solo Walk Across Africa, from the Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean by Fran Sandham
LOL Katie, you sure thats not my other half you have there
*writes down*
I once had the immense fortune of a man that knew what one was for!
I enjoyed Blood River too about the Congo
oh yes! I've read that
I'd love love love to go to Iraq and Iran, but I don't think that's entirely sensible yet
God me too Ata, and the Yemen too
Jesus I've just had to show him how to remove the hose, It's a dyson it's not that hard!
No pug, where did you find him?
oh yes. *anywhere* round there, really. Anything "Middle-east". ANd I've still got to get to Petra!
You'd be surprised Katie, you have to push the release thingy and then pull the hose - that amounts to doing two things at once
Middle East is so beautiful. Jordan was just mind blowing
I believe they purposely remain ignorant in the hope of never being asked to run it
I agree Pug
We need to think of a 'reason' for going and then we can hunt down some sponsorship :)

have Hobbit & Oscar ever met? could be serious trouble
they'll be fine. Hobbit is very good at keeping frolicsome dogs under control!!! :P
That would be wonderful :) Frolicsome!!!!! He's been called much worse than that before!
no, really, she tends to like dogs that I say are "ok to like"
clue for the ah6 please
He ran away today, then he stopped, turned round, laughed at me, then continued to run
my kingdom for ah6
Thanks lynxxx, didn't know that was one word!
I'm sure he was checking that you were still following him, you might have got lost
I am chatting and facebooking way too much - I have only found *blush* 4 words so far!!!!
looooool that's cute
Ah Lynxxx maybe that was it - NOT! LOL
the only time Hobbit gets pissy with other dogs is if they sniff her ar4 too much - cos of her anal gland -um- issues. But she soon tells them off
Cute! I could have swung for him, little rat! I had to run miles to catch him - found him in someones garden incinerator!
ok, miles becomes NOT cute!
I'm afraid he's a big sniffer *blushing again*
BBL better get a walk done b4 it (might?) rain - or storm anyway
lol hobbit will tell him off and then they'll be friends
woohoo found word number 5 lol
They will love each other :)
Have fun Lynxxx

Hey Ata? Who is the ginger cat anyway?
thanks LWG
oh! he's my darling ex-cat, called Nutty. I got him for my birthday when I was 8, he died when I was at university
awwww :(
he really *was* a monster!
he fought foxes for fun
good grief
he ended up with tattered ears and bites out of his tail, but he was still the beautifulest cat ever
ata, that is what my dad's ex-cat Harry did... He was a Russian Blue... and would go hunting for Hare. One day, he came back through the feild with a Hare betweeen his jaws, and a mouse in one paw... it was hysterical to watch him !!
Oh! We had a Russian Blue when I was a child - Perry - he was wonderful!
they are gorgeous cats
bi 5/14 the second one please
Katie, a plant, as woodbi***
good question. no idea!
Katie is that the acidic one? I only have one bi5
anyone would think we didn't feed the poor beast! But Harry did it for the love of the chase, and as presents for Dad :)
sorry, the second one is related to the 3rd one, adj
oh yes, it's always for the love of the chase
yes thats what it is with Oscar too - he runs, I chase - what fun! :P
monster!
Right. I have to take the devil dog himself out. He's whingeing at me so loud he's gonna have the kids out of bed in a mo.
loooool good luck :P
Bye Liz, make sure he doesn't run away!!
I'll put my skates on! Back later - have fun all....Ata get those maps ready :))
:D
come on words, where are you?
ditto ata... i think i need breakfast and a fresh perspective! bbl
hello friends - trying to plug a few more in before dinner....
hi trif!
hello ata....still madly in love with you, by the way. You are a truly gifted artisan
LOL :D thank you!!
I suffer under a terrible curse - I am a little big good at a lot of things, and truly excellent at very little. It makes me a great trivial pursuit player, but not good enough to make a career out of much
I think the same most days!
i think i have ADD too - i get all interested in something, and I am just mad about it for a while, and then i lose interest.
ditto!
back again - anyone got the first la?
do you think most artistic people are like that? I have a suspicion that many are. I have, of course, met a few totally focused arty people, but they really were singularly minded
I think a lot are
i don't kazzer, all apologies
la + Mr Onassis
someone should do a study....
euh - ty very much wouldn't have got that in a month of sundays
it is all of 35 degrees F here today, but I swear, it feels like we could go outside in tee shirts, it is such a significant change
Trif, ths is the first cool and cludy day I've had in CA.
are you in the southern part, or up north?
Bay Area, south of SF. It's actually showering her. Severe lack of precip this winter
firebirds!
congrats ata!!! A real accomplishment with this grid!
oh this is so funny - http://tinyurl.com/8ymmy2
good one ata! pleez pull.....
sooooo cute
boo! how is this grid?
ho6!
uh oh! backing away slowly....
hello feather! I think it is a good mix of weird and usual
gotta watch LOST tonight, so won't be able to concentrate except during commercials
oh, feather, my son is BEGGING me to let him skip scouts tonight, just so he can watch it....i am sorely tempted, I must admit
these things are important!
but we have a DVR....
not the same
record it, let him stay up to watch it after scouts
Lost is more important than scouts!
hi
lol, such an enabler ata!
hiya kje!
it is, and it isn't. I figure, to be fair, I shouldn't watch it until he comes home either. oh, the denial!
well what are they doing at scouts tonight?
compromise? tell him just for tonight he can stay home, but the rest of hte time he has to watch it after you, recorded?
compromise - he goes to scouts, and I don't watch it til he comes home. He made a commitment!
ar5 before butt?
sort of like the famous british tweed company
or, american actor neil patrick h*****
agree with trif... can't not go for a tv show - sets a bad precedence
Mrs. blank goes to Paris
ty trif
good for you tri!
gotta go read a book to daniel, bbl!
but it's been so looooooong since I have seen sawyer! and I have been sooooo lonely.....:)
just let him stay home!
be 6, 24 please???
no... do NOT let him stay home... TV is NOT more important than other activities
but that is my bias... I refuse to plan a life around the TV - ridiculous!
1 episode of 1 TV show can be just as interesting as an evening of something else!
it's okay, kje, he is going. no worries.
so. no clue for me then? bad mommy penalty?
I'm glad I didn't have you as my mom!!!
the best part is if you tivo or tape it you can zip through the commercials
ermmmm getting there
ha - never mind, got it meself!
what a time to join in - you remind me of someone who came to my husband's retirement party with a mini portable TV so she could watch her soap opera (novela) !!!! I vote for scouts, not TV - tape it for him
oh its that one - the be4 before it + vowels
west, is there any other way to watch TV
12 left - all ts
lol ata - my parents were strict with the tv too... but i turned out OK for the most part : )
I didn't even have a TV till I was 18!
hello everyone - and can I even admit to this crowd that we don't watch Lost at all
I watched THOUSANDS of hours of tv as a kid. Literally glued to the thing. Have regretted that some, and are more strict with my kids, but there you go.
ours came and went.. depending on my parents conviction at any given time
but I'd shackle myself to the TV to stay home for the 1st Lost epi!
my hubby is addicted to lost but i got fed up with a show not going anywhere
JBV, of course you can admit it! I have never watched a single solitary episode of CSI, or any of it's spin offs, which some people find incomprehensible
I loved seasons 1 and 2, got utterly bored in season 3 and then loved season 4 again
JBV- I watched one episode with the ex-DH and just wasn't interested
he is also addicted to Battlestar which is on at the mo and i said he could watch it cos i'd rather be here with you all
there are very few series I find watchable any more - the police and forensics ones are just so gory and disgusting = they are trying to outdo each other with more outrageous scenes
me either jbv... I don't like to get started on any show i would feel compelled to see every time -
there is nothing I hate more than turning on my tv and seeing someones innards. ICK!
i must admit to be addicted to cookery programs
we watch a lot of old movies (Turner Classic channel) and I would rather watch a national geographic special on spiders that some of these inane situation comedies or sensational dramas
lol - that gas stuff is in the grid
Amen JBV! I love the History Channel, NatGeo, A&E
I decided not to get cable... ths i am addicted to babble instead - LOLOL
ok, here's my confession - I will watch dancing competitions any time
and i also love America's next Top model and all its spin offs
howdee buddies
gas stuff??
not dancing with the stars!!!! no jbv no!!!!
be5
be5 gas remover
ho book
ok, thanks, kje
hi book.. not ho
I am a dancing wannabe - so just indulge my fantasy
now how is that a word, but not be4/6 + o (japanese box for sushi)?
it means a feast but not sure of its origins
i am as stumped as you dorens
oh, ok, that's better.. i thought it was a brand name for gas remover!
also a game, like bingo
that made me giggle - we had the offending articles for tea and there is a fair amount of you know what around
oh yikes. yesterday's words showed up in today's lickety's list - hate when that happens
well, best run out to the store kazzer, and buy some be5!
last bl 5?
russians eat bl**i with caviar?
5?
though that sound delish dorens
b + before easter is ****
oh, it is kj, it is!
ty
so i have started seeing 2 guys....
one I have very little in common with, but he amuses me...
the other I have a lot in common with, but he is kind of dull, though very nice
hope you have no trouble keeping them straight in your mind, kj i would never be able to do two guys simultaneously, too many memory blips
you must be quite busy, kje....
my basic bias is that opposites attract but make horrible long term relationships - what words of wisdom do you have?
nice counts for more as i get older
i'd go for "amuses" rather than "dull"
I'm not "doing" 2 guys simultaneously... lets' just get that straight, dorens - LOL
amusement is important though... he HAS to be able to make you laugh
take it from a 38 year veteran, nice enures well
38 - LOLOL... I am older than that bichon
haha, i would have said other things if i thought THAT, k
well, that is what you said... so just wanted to clarify ; )
i think bichon means she's been in a 38 year relationship, not that she is 38
No, been married almost 38 years
oooohhhh - OK, will listen to bichon then - LOL
when I had the stomach flu last month i CALLY HUBBY AND HE CAME HOME AT LUNCH TIME TO WALK THE DOG AND MAKE ME JELLO. tHAT'S A CHARACTER TRAIT i LOVE in a man [soory for caps]
yes, that is what i think too bichon... i KNOW the right answer, just not sure i want to follow that yet - LOL
aaahhh - bichon! how sweet! I LOVE that
that's wonderful, bichon -
yes, kje, i think we should strive for nice
halfway done at last
but make sure he can make you laugh!
If they still love you when they've seen you barfing, that's true love
76 left here book
LOL bichon... yes, well, we are not at that stage yet
ha6?
ha + worker bee=****e
I once owned something ha* it + Regan
hey, worker bees are not dr5s!! but that, good clue, got the word 8-)
ty dorens!
sorry
FIREWORKS for me so i will go and annoy hubby - we have been nearly married for 10 years and i didnt meet him still i was 38! but he is great and came home from work when i had my accident and has made the tea for 2 week so he's a good un
yay kazz
woohoo kaz!!!!
kazz woot !! ~~ !!
well, yay on both accounts

i couldnt work out why you were hurraying me when i only just got here lol
hooray, kazzer and Mr. Kazzer!!

LOL kazzoz - that confused me for a sec
bye for now be back tomorrow
bbl
i think i should get something going for dinner... or else i will be hungry with no food in a bit
bbs
sorry for this dense question, but what is Kazzer's flage; the red cross on a white field?
How many words today? (England)
England
the flag is the cross of St George, representing England
ty Ata, I was unaware that England had it's own flag.
Hello all -- I'm sneaking a peek at the library
We're very sheltered here in the colonies
England, Scotland and Wales do. N ireland too
hey jilli :)
every state has its own flag, too 8-) and a lot of cities, townships, etc. it's an epidemic
bichon, the British flag you're used to is made up of three crosses -- St. Andrew for Scotland (white diagonals on blue), St Patrick for Ireland (rediagonals on white) and St George (England)
i thot the union jack was the flag of england? how ignorant am i?
Union Jack = flag of Great britain
Yes, there's a NYC flag [where I was raised], but not a Middltown CT flag [where I live now]
most americans don't know the diff between England and the UK, let alone the flags. me, i'm a flag nut 8-)
plus, most of us think "British" means "English" and don't know that the Welsh and Scottish are "British" also
i know the diff but i thought the other ones had different flags anyway
MOst Americans don't know a lot about any foreign country. They really don't teach geography like they used to. In fact, most Americans can't name their US rep. or senator
well that's an interesting question. they are really Great Britons. Cos Briton = v English
bichon, you got that right
so then, if england's flag is red on white, then i still wonder, don't the others have their own?
Wales has its own flag in babble, Scotland too
wales has a red lion on a green compartment (ground) with a white sky
nbjasmine, see my post at 5:21
hi jilli
hi west
sweet toes, west!
love that Milne book my favorite is James James Morrison Morrison
scotland has a flag and a standard (you can see them both at wikipedia)
Weatherby Geroge Dupree...
thank you book dr.
took great care of his mother
I'm stuck on the sa8/40
though he was only three
james james said to his mother
Mother, he said, said he
keep going, west, I love milne
ireland also has a flag and a standard, which i don't see on wikipedia -- but it shows flags of the four provinces -- oh, scroll halfway down to see flags
you must never go down to the end of the town
without consulting Me
yay jilli lol
helloo jilleroo!!!!
hi all!
hiyi, stiddy!
back to do more babbling. I will give myself a half hour, and then pull stuff together for class this evening.
NM, got the sa8, just an ext. of the previous word
jill, I was GLUED to the TV yesterday!
Me too, stid!
we have a superglue epidemic!!! LOL
Gotta go attend to library things -- back later. West, I love all those verses, both books
later jill!
me too jilli
how fishy is the O on the left please?
it's a german fish sort of
thanks west! that's what I needed!
I can't believe it took me this long to find Jill's volcano...
thanks stid I didn't have that
Celebes buffalo too, stid
any time, west!
thanks Jill!!!! (((hugs))))
*back to work again*
well finally. left column grey.
almost to halfway... *struggling uphill against the avalanche with a headwind and only one arm left*
do you need a St Bernard?
*considers* does he come with whiskey???
I'm sure he does
then yes please! this galoot next to me is only good in fair weather, I am afraid
Evening all. Does anyone but me find it an interesting coincidence that today's theme is a word in the grid?
i've decided to boycott all words that end in ia or ias lol
how fishy are the D words?
hey katydid!
hello kazozz also!
hey Stidmama!
and all
very stid
not fishy at all
ok i lied...they not fishy lol
the d words are sort of robots.
and they dont end in the dreaded ia either lol
well, one anyone and then plural.
thanks katydid and wst (thinking)
think hive
AHA! more insecty than fishy... LOL good for bait.
past halfway...
gave up after staring into fridge - ordered sushi : )
yeah, insects too. didn't think of that. was thinking of Rosy of the Jetsons.
again kje??? did you order enough for me?
yummm sushi
it is true, stid!!! i eat too much sushi... even though I know dilution is the key to handling possible risks... I am a sushi addict!
is he A above the S in the second column fishy? it's the last tile I need for no blanks.
me too kje!!
me too kje, just too impoverished to feed my habit... *wonders if writing papers for other college kids would help*
yes - fishy stid
I could make my own, but it's somewhat time consuming. *maybe this weekend with tom's help
help with the first la 5/10 please * prepares for fish slap*
do it stid... go sell that brain! to heck with academic honesty - LOL
may I have the second letter please?
ah5
is it the plural street word?
oops - maybe not
I don't have the list yet
ah6 - how the mr ed song starts
yes, that was it!!!
don't have that one kazozz yet. sry
AH 6 though.. LOL
okay, now I can list...
yay... so glad you got that clue, stid... I have been waiting to use it ever since i got the word ! LOL
ok morewords saved me! was very fishy so I dont feel bad lol! fireworks too :)
oh! first LA 5/10 is like the la 4/4 after the greasy buttery stuff... double first vowel
ho6 - the last one?
YAY kazozz!!!
woohoo kaz!!!
thanks stid!
really really bad, kje, there was a little girl, and when she was bad she was ho 6
LOLOL - that is me
TY
* deletes her awful clue for the ho word*
*grin* I just bought new ha4 clips to hold the bangs out of my face, I suspect they were contributing to the conjunctivitis.
ouch - hair in eyes sounds painful
there was a little babbler who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead... and when she clued good, it was very very good, but when she clued bad.... rofl
rofl stid!!!
it has been, usually I can get them to stay back, but the last couple days... *sigh*
hey i resemble that remark stid lol
lol!
*grin* down to 110, that's not bad so far.
1st na5?
I really wish the doc today had said I should stay home from class... *grumpy mama look*
n plus what you breath and a vowel
ty kazz
thanks kaz!
yw :)
stid - should have just asked for a note... you'd be surprised how many people ask... can I get a note for work until tuesday?
I almost did... I asked if it was okay for me to go to class and she said yes. But I think I may skip some of it, I'll just talk to the teacher ahead of time. The redness will be a good clue that I am not just trying to pull a fast one.
there are entirely too many AL words today
anyone need any more clues before I boogie...passports finally got renewed and i need to research a trip *grin*
they are not bad words though stid
oooooo - fun stuff kaz!
good for you kazozz!!! stidkid's passport took only a week to arrive earlier this month. He is looking forward to his adventure
is the AL 7 related to the 5 before it?
ours got rejected the 1st time stid as we had the temerity to smile and show teeth in the pictures we sent in!
yes stid
oh no! not a SMILE!!! LOL guess they want to have a realistic picture in case you are pi**ed off by the time you get through the li4 to customs....
last 0r5?
or and almost a part of the eye i***
*working on the AL 7*
now we look like grumpy scary people, but at least we have passports lol
stid add either ** to the end
I think I need help. am I verbifying or nounifying or...
ah, you anticipated my question! tahnks!
under 100 now
u used what you need to add twice in that question stid
how about hte AR 7? to do with the sit-upon?
last or5 = mor*** the finicky cat of the commercials
ar 7 is where you would store your weapons and the stuff that goes in them.
Hi guys...it would be totally stupid to start the grid now, right?
great ! thanks!
starts like the sit=upon, but doesn't really go with.
depends krista, are you hoping to finish?
depends how much time u have Krista..only a few seriously fishy words in there
it's here!!! bbl
enjoy kje
nah...but i like to get at least halfway
throwing srid a negihama roll on my way out...
you can get halfway no problem krista
i'm avoiding work..i'm great at Babble then :)
mmmm. thanks kje!
besides krista, you still have 6 hours!
oh good, thanks
okay, now I need a shove for the last AR 6 please. my last A word
ok off to scour through orbitz! bbl
true, Katy..how many to go, Stid?
sort of like the comedian, ar* hall, except take out the next to last letter.
same starting 5 letters as the 7 plus a vowel stid
85 now, and I should go I suppose...
gah. thanks kaz and katy -- babblet, and I monkeyed ALL around it!
don't go, stay and play with us.
you know you'll be back :)
let me check the syllabus. if we have a guest speaker I will go, if we don't, I will send a note to the teachers.
oh my...she's skipping class for babble! no stid! go to class!
stid! I'm so bad. better go to class.
come back afterwards.
no, not skipping class to babble krista, I really am sick. I have an eye infection, some non-descript but persistent virus and the usual seasonal depression all hitting me at once. I am less than unmotivated. *grump*
print out the grid and take it to class
oh my...we're doing the SAD thing here, too
my sympathies
*hugs stid* feel better
I can babble from class, but it's a thirty minute drive there and back and it goes until ten. I am just wiped. *sigh*
thanks all.
well take care of yourself first. you are no good in class if you can't concentrate and learn anything. But does the babbling bother the eye infection?
not as much as reading books, to be honest. I can't wear my glasses though.
reading books can be harder on the eyes than the computer if you have a decent monitor.
yes, the brightness of the monitor seems to help a lot. which is funny because when I have a migraine I can read books but not the computer.
ah5??? It's a fish, isn't it?
full steam ah5 fish!
of course it is a fish!
someone whack me with Shamu
)*)-((((((<< SHAMU!
there. got my last fishy B without help...

sa7 not happy but sa* + what you use to get wrinkles out of clothes
oh. okay.
thanks jessmom. down to 29 now...
yw
are you okay otherwise? did you get over that nasty virus?
i got over the nasty virus, but dropped 15 pounds, then my computer got a nasty virus, and it took a week to get it fixed. i was in withdrawel, i had the shakes and everything. oh, and i got a new cat, he's a rescue.
oh geez... glad it's over! except for the cat, it all sounds pretty intense...
evenin babblers!
hi Krista, thanks for the warm welcome, the hug...
first couple of days, the cat was pretty intense with all his puking
hey EvaN!
hi eva
i could use one of those illnesses where you lose 15 pounds...
"i'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight" (Clueless??)
not so much eva, lost it too fast, caused other health problems
I lost about ten this summer when I was so sick, but to be honest... it wasn't worth it.
SE 5 the first? *waits for fish*
yes, i know. losing weight with illness never works...but man, i could use that kinda kick-start!
se5 river in France
what I would like is to able to just exercise some. not being able to walk long distances really puts a damper on everything.
thanks jessmom
yw
im so friggin excited -- its almost time to get LOST!

LOL the last TO 6 is like the HO 6

I think I will at least go to class... *shrug* I don't know... I really am of two minds about it tonight. All I want to do is get into warm jammies and sleep.
does attendance count toward grade?
stay home stid
hi DR
Hi Krista
not really krista, but I hate to miss any of the class. but I also don't want to go and feel yucky the whole time.
hey DR
se7 se + spanish word for nose, change last ltr to vowel
how long is the class
so -- any help on the SE 7/28? my last word? *groveling mama look*
i'd err on the side of warm jammies
four hours.... if it were only two I would go for sure
hard to clue stid, but see below
I stick with jammies
thanks jess mom *reviewing high school spanish*
Stid, sleep will do you much better than using up physical resources on class, believe me!
thanks saanich and all... I am considering...
well consider it done then Jammies!
LOL saanich!
So are you going home? Young stid is not going to Korean activity tonight. He has a little homework and already did math.
or se + stadium or are** + The P**ce *s Right
and pamper yourself. We all need it sometimes. And you don't want to weaken and catch the flu virus either. Be well!
I am home, Mother... and in bed. and trying to get the last perplexing babble word... LOL
I have been pampering myself ALL WEEKEND. *sigh*
Well. Stay there!!!!
do you have any words you try everytime they are in the grid, even thoughh you KNOW they are not valid words?
so then what is one more day
you are IN BED? Do not go to class.
OH!!!!!! that worked! was not seeing the double vowel!!!!
thansk jessmom! firewords!
congrats stid!
yay stidders
I have many words I try that will never be on the grid. I have many words I monkey that I have no idea what they mean. Congrats mama.
I am in bed because it is warm, saanich... but yes, I think I will write to the teachers now and just stay here.
wwtg Stid
You understand me, then Stidgmere :)
good decision and do not feel guilt. and congrats on the FW!
merci bien, thanks a lot, danke schoen, madlobt, xie xie, grazie, gracias... LOL
the ltimate se 7?
*ultimate
which se 7 bichon? I am now qualified to clue all of them.
the ltimate, the omega, the last
*ultimate
se7 spanish ladies
Stidmama, we have competing Obamas
ty jessmom
yw
okay, emailed my teacher and hope it will be okay. the more I thought about it the less I wanted to drive at night with blurred vision.
so that decision is made. now to call Tom.
i''m sure everyone else out there thanks you, stid!
stid, I am relieved that you staying warm and safe.
I noticed that bichon, but I think perhaps one can't have too many obamas?
lol
I actually made an "obamicon" of me... was thinking of changing to that one for tomorrow
hey mom23!
hey stid! not sure if you can have too many obamas, but already know you can have one too many w's ;-)
*gasp* oh mom, you did NOT just say that!!! (besides, there's one less now..)
what's a "w"?
the previous president saanich went by his middle initial
lol Mom 23
and meant my reply to mom to have "LOL" at the end...
i did my patriotic and gave he and his pal in crime the appropo salute as they left yesterday. and note that i am ambidextrous!
oh. oh. I see, thanks!
my sons middle name is a w
ah, dr1965, but it's a good w!
I am hopeful that it will remain a good w
oh mom! I noticed that the crowd was respectfully quiet when former presidents were announced. And burst into uproarious applause and cheering when President Obama came through the portal!
there were some boo's for w though
one of my son's has a w middle name also... so not all w's are banned in our home.
quite unheard of
evening all...decided to get my own obama icon
10 left and I am at exploding brain stage
nor listing yet- what do the 8's start with
* not
were there? glad I missed them. though I am not sorry to see him go, would prefer people to be polite and willing to work together
go magmom go!
se 8/45
it had to be tough for w & pal to hear obama's speech, tho' i think they're both so entrenched in their little worlds it may have eluded them. good riddance.
I agree Stid.. I believe it will be nice to have a smart President
AL 8/40
and SA 8/40
sa8/40
ok thanks stid
the SE 8 is a plural, btw
awesome... diving back in
okay, we no longer have dueling obamas... my new icon is me
didn't want to make you change. The more barak the better :)
I'm still seeing my old icon though
I think I'll keep mine for a while
hey sukee!
I like it Stid
sometimes you need to refresh before you see the new icon
thanks DR
why do i torture myself watching American Idol?
Can we talk about girlie things? I just ADORE Michelle Obama!!! I thought she looked fabulous yesterday -- classy, but pretty. LOVED the color of her dress and coat, can't believe I didn't see long johns peeking out... LOL
I liked her dress
I thought she looked amazing and those girls... so cute
I didn't see the fancy gown for evening until today online -- not my own style, but it looked good on her!
Perez Hilton trashed it...but then he's an idiot anyway :)
she must have had an ice water IV before she started the day! i was freezing just watching. she's a classy woman.
oh the girls are darling! they were well behaved, and sweet.
it's nice to see kids in the White House
the evening gown.. off the shoulder.. nice
I think the country likes when kids are in the white house
I think the country likes when kids are in the white house
and the first dance was great
yes, I think (to be honest) the humanizing factor of parenting is a good thing.
Thinking of Michelle Obama out there in the cold all that time; has anyone ever heard the phrase "beauty knows no pain"
I'm sure the fact her husband was being sworn in as President helped to keep her warm
the oldest is the same age as Jake.. he wanted to know what would happen if she spilled a soda on the carpet
LOL bichon! perhaps that is why I am not beautiful -- the smallest discomfort and I am running for cover!
that is a good question, DR. what did you tell him?
My hubby and I once saw a short documentary aobut a bunch of Texas cheerleaders who had to pose for a group photo. A couple of them were stuck in the rose bushes but kept on smiling throughout. "Beauty knows no pain"
they were both so gracious throughout the day. and it seems so heartfelt and sincere for a change.
I said, I think she would have to clean it up
ra 5/10? *prepares to be smacked with fish*
I think the adrenaline rush was keeping them warm -- and awake! I am sure I couldn't stand to be standing so much under ordinary circumstances
which one mag mom
thone
bichon 3rd one down please
oops...sorry
the third RA 5/10 is past tense of moved fast _+ double vowel
doesn't work anyway sukee...
ra + the French word used for maiden name
i notice :)
hiya
dr..that is so cute...my kids are fascinated by the First kids, too..reminde me of me and Amy Carter (wow, showing my age there)
hey KJE
ty guys! that didn't seem overly fishy!
so I am getting a little tired, I think I will go turn on some lights for tom and the boys and get into those warm jammies we talked about.
hi kje
good idea Stid- Feel better
last or5?
hey kje. how was the sushi?
get well, stid. keep warm.
more sushi for kje!!! LOL
MOR*** the cat
my son is interested in girls
feel better stid!
or + ***e and shine
thanks all. enjoy the grid! *poof*
ha stid!
ty
DR- is this a good thing? :-)
magmom, did you get the ra?
not quite as cute at 10
yes, I thank you!
DR - what a funny thing to say... reason?
yw
ah - his age
my almost 9 year old has had a few crushes and all the girls have crushes in his class
he told me one of the girls thought he was *hot*- magmom passes out
it is harmless at that age for the most part ... "interested in" means something different to them
evening babble fans!
we drive by Brittany walking to school every day and I have to slow down so he can say HI but is "too shy" to get out and walk with her
lol..weird feeling for a mom, huh
hi repartee - long time!
LOL DR - kinda cute : )
hey there kje!
exactly KJE, but it is hard for mom to hear LOL
oh yes- magmom... hot is a big 10 yr old word
gotta scoot. tks for the chat and clues. later, kids!
hi reparteena
I mean I think he's gorgeous, but I am biased
CYA_ Mom 23
bye mom
hi Krista!
speaking of mom... we haven's see mom lately
i miss Mom
I am biased as well
my kids didn't get interested in the opposite sex until at least 8th grade. Fortunately, the granddaughters are toddlers
you are right KJE
FIREWORDS!!!
yay!

wtg Magmom
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

hehehe
I must go help look up info for a report on Booker T. Washington now. It's time for my homework
i cant buy a bingo lately
we just finished a game with asgreen - her first 2 moves were bingos... kind of puts a damper on the game - LOLOL
I once got 3 bingos in one game but I was playing against my Mom
bye mm
bbl to clue!
my claim to fame was a 203 point bingo in Scrabulous
sa 7 --- unhappy wrinkle-freer
So I got 200 words using Lickety's at work, but I left my list at work & now I have to try to remember the 200 I had before.This sucks! I can only remember 171
that's good Krista
LOL - good clue BR - thanks!
BR, someone said you are a lawyer... true?
i think only one bingo should be allowed per game :)

thanks, bichon..i'll have to live on that one for a while :)
that is only b/c you are losing... if it was you with 2 bingos, i suspect the rules would be different : )
cool BR - we decided you must have won a lot - ouwitted them all
phantom: la maladie sans maladie
Bet you rocked in closing arguments. :)
then again, maybe he didn't outwit them... maybe he just stunned them into silence like he did us with that phantom - LOL
i suspect u are right on re: bingos ;)

old one: A guy went to a psychiatrist. "Doc," he said, "I keep having these alternating recurring dreams. First I'm a teepee, then I'm a wigwam, then I'm a teepee, and then I'm a wigwam. It's driving me crazy. What's wrong with me?" The doctor replied, "It's very simple. You're two tents."
Denny Crane is a wacky lawyer..who, when he is feeling proud of himself, shouts, "Denny Crane!" I am picturing BR that way...
BR - LOL - pulease!

Glad you did..how are you?

love seeing your green rabbit, scrabs
I have to get up early to see SIX kids at the children's hospital! This winter sick season is brutal. The hospital is FULL and the administration is trying to make room for all of the sick kids.

ty, lbd
ok, must run... thanks for the clues and see you all later
yahoo KJE, have FUN!
whooooo hoooooo KJE!!
have a great time!
have a nice evening, kje!
Hi anyone i missed
Here's a funny story. I was writing a note in a kid's chart and meant to write "scabs" and wrote "scrabs".
Yahoo kje
cute Scrabbler
lol, scrabs. are you getting hit with the mrsa virus?
I can imagine, Scrabbs. Everyone i know is sick. I am the only one in my house that hasn't gotten the stomach bug this week...feel like I"m on borrowed time.
We have seen MRSA (Staph bacterium) for about 5 yrs.
that's priceless...shall we call you Scabs now?
Some Babblers mis-type and type "Scabs"
there was a news item on the numbers of kids being sick with it.
It doesnt suit you, but it's funny
naw, scabbers was Ron Weasley's rat...that was really Peter Pettigrew.
Our patients are ill with respiratory illnesses--RSV (virus) in infants and toddlers, and we have two 11 yr olds with bacterial penumonia.
wow
oh no! poor little mites
seems like there's some nasty stuff going around this year
it's does seem worse than usual...
Usually February is the worst month for kids (and their pediatricians) and January is already so bad that I am concerned.
ha6?
the way i see kids dressed or rather not dressed, i'm surprised more aren't sick
Anybody hear of "Six Word Memoirs" from SMITH Magazine (web-based)?
my kids were constantly sick in public school..this year reminding me of those days...makes me afraid to go anywhere, and I'm not an alarmist
ha6 past tense of have + harry potter's friend, *** weasley
TY, lbd
no, have not heard of it..
haven't heard of six word memories, scrabs. what is it?
pardon me for butting in = I've been catatrophizing over the bird flu outbreak in China....
thanks
Check it out--fascinating contributions. smithmag.net
sings I have a kitten on me
is it famous or non-famous people?
hi mab
Six word memoirs = using 2 words to summarize yourself or your life. Some are funny, some sad, many are SO creative and well-thought out. The first book (compilation) is a best-seller. I read it in 20 min.
ho7?
Hi mab
that would be challenging..i have enough trouble with that facebook "16 things about me"
The reality is that there could be a global flu outbreak.
add a coNsoNaNt to the eNd of the 6.21, harp
lol lbd, i wonder which consonant?
It is amazing how much can be conveyed in only 6 words. The site also has subcategories and a story of how a teacher asked kids to work on it.
Did you make one?
lenient...ugh phantom
Just to clarify I cant do 16 things or what ever on facebook sorry
Yep, I did. "Blessed by God at every step."
that's wonderful
evening!
Why not, herin? I did 10 things.

HI feather

Hi Feather.
Hey Feather

You can decide who to send it to.

thnks...time for ice cream
well, that is a brisk temp especially for florida, plus you being tired...
ty ... and thanks for mentioning ice cream ... now I hear mine calling, too
yes, its nuts. but i know its no where near as cold as you all...but still, last week it was 80...
my nephews grew up in florida, and they'd be buried under blankets when it dropped to 60 degrees.
It was 20F here yesterday, supposed to be 68F tomorrow...
I didnt think it really got this cold here, but apparently, it can. Thankfully, its not going to get cold...
I mean stay cold...little tired.
don't want florida cold. i love my oranges and grapefruit
brb...
thanks LBD, I dont want to be cold either.... and I gotta say Jellen, you may be warmer than me....
although actually, my grapefruit comes from texas
i'm afraid we wont be seeing temps that warm for many months to come.
The RUby Reds are my favorites.
(please let that statement make a liar out of me!)
ugh, I have one left, and I just can't get it.....would help if I stopped watching lost!
And I must say citrus is extremely inexpensive here, which is nice.
yes, love ruby reds!
well, feather, THAT was intesting!
hee hee, can't even get fire, huh?
he GOT it all right!
tri, are you on facebook?
yes
who are you friends with? so i can find you?
but not right this second
herin
i figure we'd better not chat here, in case someone doesn't want to be spoiled
what initials should i look for?
EACE
guess i'm going to go grab my book and read. see you all tomorrow!
it might just have ECE
hiya feather!
Ooh can I befriend you too, Trif?

al 7 related to the et word?
Yes, mel
2nd se6 plz?

So, we adopted a new dog today. Check out my new icon.
How exciting, phan!
Big Baby Ph and Md!
PUPPIEEEEEE he is a big dog
He is a bit skittish, but he is beginning to warm up to us. His name is Prince at least for now. Haven't gotten any inspiration. He is a bit under weight but he weighs 50 pounds
Were did you get him and what is he?
herin, hes a dog....a black dog..... ;)
ar 7 related to the hinney word?
Sort of...letter wise, yes
Derrr What type of dog
kk thank you
I was whating for that
waiting even sorry
I got him from the SPCA and he is a lab mix
oh cute
I love the ears!
so do i
He looks lovely, like he would like to play with my doggie....
I bet he would
yeah, I finally greyed a column! ;)
doh fish me got it
ps: very pretty dog, phan ;)
Speaking of dogs my parents had to take their dog to the vet as her foot was bad. Its arthritis she is old. Any way i rang them up to see how she was and not them
How many left Pini! I have 81.
I am sure they appreciated it anyway!
I am not doing the puzzle today
38 here!
been busy playing with puppy?
well, the kids have. I had to go out tonight
28 here
and the afternoon was spent getting the puppy
I think I probably wotn complete. yesterday I fell asleep.
How old is he you think?
they say he is 2 years old
he goes to the vet tomorrow
Poor baby. Im glad you got him. some dope probably thought he wasn't going to be a big dog
go red go
Well, the woman that turned him in sayed money was the reason. He came in neutered and microchipped.
so he wont get any taller....nice and in abotu a year, he will get like my Teulu, calm.....
53 to go, need a drink LOL!
That happens. I would rather eat canned baked beans than give up my2
same here, mel!
she said she was heart broken to have to turn him in. Yet he spent 4 - 8 hours outside in a fence that he could supposedly jump
So he isn't obedient yet?
Dogs that are bored, will jump over fences, obedient or not...
well, he has some commands, He is supposed to sit stay and come. but he is so nervous today he didn't do too well.
I guess everything is new and shiny
I will do obedience training with him
THose ears really get me. He looks like he has some Shepard in him
hi all. sorry, but i had to go so missed it if anyone clued me the ar 5 10. so please reclue that last ar 5 10.
maybe, it doesn't say.
I bet Ph, a week or so with your family and he will gain some new confidence....and yes, his ears are cool herin....i agree.
The ears are the reason I got him!
