There was a butcher going around giving people raw meat... I got a leg of lamb.

1:28 am

Hello everyone. Hi Lore!

1:29 am

hi there joey

1:29 am

hi lyn!

my question is why I am up babbling at 1:30 AM when I have kid basketball tourneys tomorrow???

1:29 am

hi lynxxx and stewart hugs

1:29 am

errrr magmom... because you need some time for yourself?

1:29 am

stid says this grid is stoopid all the time... how come enable won't take it

1:29 am

hi lyn !:0)

1:29 am

maga must be because you dont like to sleep or you are like the rest of us addicted

1:29 am

hi sprite and everyone else, here babbling at what is late for some peeps

1:29 am

because enable, however stoopid, still can spell?

1:30 am

hi PJ/Chickie/Hodag - black is back again

1:30 am

I really should have saved some for tomorrow, but I just can't sleep.

the same reason it won't take "mooshy"??

1:30 am

just read PAV's profile -- all the guys look alike, but the pic is squished...

1:30 am

it is fine here :)

1:31 am

yes jilli but which one is PAV

1:31 am

PAV, I would say, back row, 2nd from the left.

1:31 am

that's what I mean -- they all look alike, so which one is PAV?

1:31 am

LadyN, not being able to sleep s*cks, but it is nice to have you around.

1:31 am

I saved i t my hard drive and I don't know why it's squished...

1:32 am

because the original picture isn't square I think, PAV.

1:32 am

2nd from left is my older balding brother

1:32 am

Sprite shy have we picked the same one??? lol

1:32 am

and PAV, was I right?

1:32 am

It's squished because it's a rectangular picture, I would guess, and has to fit into a square.

1:32 am

hmmmm, how to fix it?

1:32 am

not shy but why

1:33 am

got the ma 8 finally

1:33 am

there's a way using Paint, and an easier way with photoshop

1:33 am

lol on this pic he looked the cutest and we think you are sweet, PAV. So, which one are you?

1:33 am

must be the blueboy then PAV

1:33 am

and the cavemen give a cheer for ruru!

1:33 am

big hairy ruru.

1:33 am

yay ruru

1:34 am

or you could cut out a square part with SmartCapture or ScreenCapture or a tool like that, save it and use that.

1:34 am

yabba dabba doooo

1:34 am

LOL!

1:34 am

lol une and mayne... thanks for the clues!

1:35 am

thanks Une! for the clue...ok let me try to fix it...cuz there's more than one blueboy...

1:37 am

thanks for the ma8. In Dutch it would need a T at the end, so I hadn't even tried...

1:40 am

over halfway and NBT but will try for a few more before bed

1:40 am

ah good jilli, so enjoying playing with you again :)

1:41 am

glad to be on at the same time again for a change, sprite!

1:41 am

:)

thought I would say hi

1:41 am

hiya herin

1:41 am

jilli have you alked with Linneus?

1:42 am

me too! PJ, why is your icon black as black again?

1:42 am

hi herin :)

Hi PJ/CHICKIE/HODAG

1:42 am

hi lady, good thought.

1:42 am

hi lady

hi herin

I just got in and I need to get up

1:42 am

Linneus, MGuy???

How are you?

1:44 am

lady, is your Lucius an Abessian? He looks like the spitting image of my late rescue cat.

No idea what Lucius is other than a terror.

oh and big when he grows into his paws

1:45 am

lol lady, so you love him?

1:45 am

maybe he's a panther, herin, lol!

Yes he is a mini panther. Cause we love both of them

Yes he is a mini panther. Cause we love both of them

1:47 am

here's another of just my bros...to make it easier...

1:47 am

BabbleRabble, saw your icon when I was on my friend's list. A magical icon and a beautiful text in your profile. The top one in particular. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I dont know if you know AKnitter?

1:48 am

yes I do

1:49 am

good eve mi'Lady...

Um on Monday or Tuesday she had a fall. She has broken her hand/wrist and hip. She is Trifs cousin. Trifs has her email up if you wish to send one to her then she will pass it on

1:50 am

farthest to the right?

HI Lovely Pav

1:50 am

that's the one who banished moi and the poopies...

1:50 am

oh, poor Aknitter!

1:50 am

oh my, poor aknitter! That is totally lousy. Thanks for the message, lady

1:51 am

ok PAV, I give. Please tell me which one is you.

And Justamar has broken her foot, Kierlexx her ribs. So can you lot please be a bit more careful. Ta

1:51 am

well we're still wearing blue...

1:52 am

and I have my hair to protect by brain innards from flying out or is it fleeing out...

1:52 am

so you're the one on the right in the bluejeans?

1:52 am

are you the biggest? Tallest?

Pavs is the one in the white tee

1:53 am

good grieve lady, what are all those babblers doing to themselves?

1:54 am

no that is the one who banished PAV and the poopies. So that is a criminal.

1:54 am

'

Seems Kier slipped on her stairs missed the last 6 steeps, Justa was piffed into a pool skylarking around (not her faut) and Ak we think may have slipped)

OK Pav is the one in the black t next to the guy in blue

1:55 am

Sprite - that grieve is past tense of grief

steps even

1:57 am

lynxxx... so it is to grief, grieve, grieved? And good grief is with an F?

1:57 am

I'm wearing BLUE...the farthest right is David, the one who banished the poopies from his home and we had to flee from Albuq early...the one on the left wearing brown is Phillip Anthony, the other PAV, who is re-marrying in Oct to a VERY nice lady, but am not sure Ican make their wedding...:(...and I still have my full head of hair...which leaves me ? wearing my dark blue sweater cuz it was colder inside the house than out...the one in lighter blue with John Jay Mustangs is quite proud of his kids...and rightly so, but he's the one who goaded the other into banishing us. so we won't speak of him either...although his kids are very well behaved and smart...

1:57 am

grief is the noun, sprite

1:58 am

grief is the noun, grieve is the verb... to grieve, he grieved, he is grieving.

sorry pav

1:58 am

Good grief, I couldn't have explained that better!

1:59 am

well, nice to meetcha, pav :)

1:59 am

for what mi'Lady...y'all have been quite nice and reassuring...even if I'm not the choicest one in the bunch...

1:59 am

ok! Sorry, got mixed up because of the past tense. So it is good grief (noun). And I grieve, etc for the verb. Thanks lyn and jilli and LadyN! Will remember!

evening all :) the change finally came

2:00 am

Hooray for coolness! hi MRP

2:01 am

one of these years, I'll have one of me with the poopies....

2:01 am

hi mrp -- change? In the weather?

2:02 am

no worries, sprite - you are most welcome!

2:02 am

PAV, you most certainly ARE the choicest one in the bunch. We love you and will take you over the others any day! *hugs* Nice to put a face to the name.

2:02 am

2:08 am

anyhow the cool change has arrived

2:09 am

in holland things have been very wet and very cold. Today I hear the birds, the sky is cloudy but with lightcoloured clouds, and it is not raining for a change :)

2:09 am

thank goodness andree

2:09 am

humidity is a lot higher than perth, i think

2:09 am

sprite as long as the birds are singing hey

2:10 am

oh you poor things nasty weather must of come from qland then

2:10 am

you've got it, lobo. And a lighter sky means more light, and that is great too.

2:10 am

back soon need to get some clothes on ,now i am cold in my wet swimmers

yes pool, but there are 4 kids here! Humidity was 85% but now 60

2:10 am

I will take a rainy day in holland over a very hot and humid day in Australia anyday, though. Must be exhausting.

2:11 am

me too i prefer the rain to the heat

2:11 am

hurry back Andree ;)

2:11 am

I like heat, but there's a limit!

Is like living in a sauna at times

2:12 am

especially when we get months of it together and no rain yuck

Oh man!! Safin is retiring!

2:12 am

I have been in Dubai once. It was exactly as mrP just said: like a huge sauna everywhere. Only escape was where there was airconditioning.

2:12 am

Safin?

2:12 am

Safin?

Marat Safin... my favourite tennis player

2:13 am

ah, forgive my ignorance.

2:13 am

I haven't been following tennis -- always seems to be a the crack of dawn here

Sprite... It is in my marriage vows that I sit on my arse for 2 weeks during the Australian Open Tennis... and I do LOVE my tennis :D

2:15 am

lol mrP, that is great! I am not into sports of any kind, not watching it anyway. Good to hear you being so enthusiastic though :)

well, those that can't, watch :)

2:16 am

I can't and I don't watch, lol.

2:17 am

2:44 am

2:47 am

maybe she will feel the energy and return to us

oooh, Gasquet and Gonzalez!! What a show they will put on

poor sprite! this one bites I am afraid

2:49 am

she has been online here more than once and never left a message. Not sure if she will.

2:50 am

lol mrP, I will struggle along. It is still fun!

andree... you enjoying this lovely 21 degrees C ?? better than 41!!

sprite, having 4 boys in the house certainly is a challenge! Have you had to experience this with your kids?? And how do I keep them 'within normal parameters' ?

2:52 am

all done not that bad actually sprite

2:53 am

wtg lobo!!!

2:54 am

bye lore!

2:55 am

hi there herin hope to see you tomorrow

hi infern

maybe

2:55 am

lol mrP, yes I have and it is certainly a challenge. Only way to keep it reasonably bearable is keep warning them about the limits...

How are you all?

I just did something stupid, was rushing to get something into the microwave and broke the glass plate on the rotor... darn

2:55 am

be well, lobo and take care of you too!

they are right little animals (between you and me sprite)

2:56 am

aw mrP, that sucks. Well, in Dutch we say: shards bring luck.

thanks sprite!

brb !

2:57 am

4 of them always are, mrP! They are not 4 boys. They are a gang! ;) Can you put them in front of a good movie with a snack? That should keep them down a bit for at least a half hour.

2:58 am

Give them a soccerball and take them to the park. Nice temp now for a dogwalk

2:58 am

ah even better, outdoors is so much more pleasant

2:59 am

diaper: one of today's most bugging phantoms

2:59 am

and they can bounce of things and yell as much as they want!

I had to intervene the kitties fighting

3:00 am

any improvement there yet, lady

ok done... limits set Rule No 1. Do not test my limits, it will not bode well for you!

3:00 am

I just keep trying to get amnio accepted - over and over and over

lynxx, try a diff vowel on the end :)

He has to learn not to jump on her

3:01 am

same here lyn!

funny infern... that is what I said to Noah just now when he was on Maddie

3:01 am

thanks, I had managed that one already

cute

cute

ok, back to the ratpack!

There is going to be fur flying if he doesn't stop his antics

3:02 am

good luck, mrP!

Best luck mr p

3:03 am

bye MRP

3:03 am

wow, finally broke the half way point

3:05 am

oh I wanna brag about my son for a minute. He has a full week of tests ahead. Asked me to help him with making a schedule for all he has to learn. And now he is keeping to it all by himself. Isn't that mature for a 12 yo!

OH wow sprite

3:06 am

am so proud of him!

3:07 am

mature full stop! fantastic!

3:07 am

:D

sprite best wishes

3:16 am

thanks lady :) Just went to give him a hug and let him know how proud I am.

thats good

3:17 am

yeah I think so. Are there many weird words in this grid?

3:18 am

or, let me rephrase that... many rarely used words?

i am just hitting words in

3:20 am

lol I will have to accept I am having a stupid day. Just hit 104 words, 1003 points.

3:20 am

morning all - really pleased with myself got both the 8s

Hi Kaz

3:20 am

wtg Kazz!

Kazz it was you that had that tumble?

3:20 am

yes it was

opps iT wasn't kierlexx it was Kaz Sprite

3:22 am

ah ok! Or not ok, actually. Sorry to hear you had a bad fall, Kazz. Ribs, is that correct? So very painful :(

3:23 am

any clues for the 8's?

Kazz poor AKnitter took a spill and broke her hand/wrist and hip

3:24 am

the ma8 is very big, very hairy and very extinct.

3:24 am

don't have the other one yet

3:25 am

yeah sprite - nearly over it now - poor Aknitter - that must really hurt - its very difficult to do anything with a broken hip - my sister had an accident a few years ago and broke her wrist and discloated her hip and she was in pain for a long time - particularly after she had had her arm in palster for 6 weeks and then they dfiscovered she had also broken her humerus as well!

3:26 am

the other 8 is about classification of species

3:26 am

its ta

3:26 am

thanks for ma8

3:27 am

that is so ugly :(

thanls

3:28 am

glad you are getting better, Kazz. Take care of yourself, ok?

3:29 am

yes - back t work on Monday - i need to go daytime tv is attrocious

3:30 am

lol! I bet. No good DVDs left?

oh poor aknitter!! just read back! how awful

3:36 am

thanks for the ta8

3:36 am

bye mrP *hugs*

3:58 am

4:07 am

thanks

4:07 am

yvw hun

Thank you we are discussing gross boys

4:09 am

isn't that a waste of time? Let's discuss hunks :)

I am talking to a male friend

4:11 am

kk

Any way sprite how is this grid working for you

4:12 am

slow as melasse in january

Its yucky

4:14 am

She said yes! the son of a close friend has just proposed to his girlfriend in Israel and she has accepted! A marriage made in heaven as they say - he is jewish and in the racing media and has met an Israeli female jockey out here, both pretty unusual occupation choices. They are very well suited in many many ways. He proposed to her at a family gathering that was organised for their visit. Ah young love!

4:14 am

normally, when I find one words, I find a whole bunch. Now, I am lucky to find one. Then a whole period of nothing.

oh lovely

4:14 am

oh how wonderful lyn!

4:15 am

congratulations to both and may they live in peace and happiness.

Sprite success to this grid just not look at words entering

4:17 am

TY I am sure they will

4:18 am

am almost at 2/3 now, so I think there is still hope, grin.

4:19 am

BBL

4:19 am

bye lyn, enjoy the good news :)

I am just sticking words in

4:20 am

I give in, I will use the clues todays. This is not going to work otherwise, lol.

4:22 am

hi all! what a nice grid with naughty words in!

Hi Ata

4:23 am

hi Ata! Glad you are liking it. I am having lots of trouble finding words. Though I do have naughty ones :) Haven't been able to send you package yet. It's been a crazy week. Have been resting a lot to keep up with all the hectics, will try and do it early next week.

4:23 am

lol whenever :)

4:24 am

lol now now, don't sound as if you don't care :P

4:24 am

well it's nice so far, and I'm half way through

4:24 am

I was stuck before halfway, so it's probably me.

4:25 am

I've been stuck on nearly every grid recently, so I think my brain might finally be coming back into focus today!

Ata question my lovely nerdette

4:25 am

yay! That is good news.

4:26 am

yeessss?

4:26 am

*giggles*

4:27 am

ooo there's a nice ep6.30

Um do you know any air dates for Dr Who Season 5 as they are playing the last episode of 4 the new doctor intro?

4:27 am

yes that is a nice one

4:27 am

our summer, I *think*

4:28 am

Matt Smith said he's only got a short while to get into the role before shooting, so they must be starting shooting soon

4:28 am

I'll ask FM, she's the fount of all knowledge about Dr Who

4:29 am

another reason to blame FM then. If she knows it all, she can change it.

I think its been put on hiatus and they are doing it 2010 (got a friend that is kindly helping with season 4) its sucks as they are doing a tease of the new doc tommorow

and i would ask FM but shes wandered off

4:31 am

for she's a wanderer..... a wanderer... she roams around around around around around....

4:32 am

oh yeah, 2010 actually, sorry, I've just had a look

4:34 am

i only rly know the torchwood side of things

4:34 am

oh torchwood! :D

4:35 am

yay found an ma7

4:35 am

Loves you

5:07 am

good morning all

5:48 am

does anyone know what the lone H word is?

hy + not your daughter

5:49 am

thnx, Katy

yw

5:49 am

now I have nbts!

5:51 am

hello everyone!

5:52 am

hi all I missed while on the phone

5:52 am

and now I am 1/2 way!

5:53 am

for me, doing this grid is like wrestling with an alligator. Losing the battle all the time but can't stop!

5:54 am

yes, this one is difficult; the words don't just jump out at you.

5:55 am

I agree, sprite! Unfortunately, the weekends are the only time I have a chance to complete a grid. I now have an hour-and-a-half commute each way, between work and home, so that cuts into my Babble time (as well as family time, etc.)

5:58 am

phantom: hominy

6:04 am

G'd morning Babblers! S far this grid bites....

6:04 am

the NO's are giving me problems even with the list!

6:05 am

hi lori

6:05 am

are there lots of NO's, phan?

6:06 am

***Lori pretends there aren't 41 M's***

6:06 am

there are 13 of them Brook

6:06 am

thanks phan

6:07 am

and I need 5 more and cant figure them out

6:07 am

Lori, I'm also trying to accept the fact there are 41 M's... can't be true!

6:07 am

you'll get them, phan!

i agree phan, i still need 3 of them and one is a 4! But my monkeys are flying.

6:08 am

I am vehemently against the number of 41. :D

6:08 am

well, after a while most of the M's weren't that bad, I still need about 8

6:08 am

Go phand go!

6:08 am

2 of mine are 4's, Katy

6:08 am

hi Lori

6:09 am

6 more m's!

6:09 am

Hey sprite.

6:09 am

most of the M's are MO's

6:09 am

Yea phand! ***admires the impossibility of it all***

6:09 am

am having a stoopid day, wresting with this grid.

6:09 am

well, I also am already using the list so take it with a grain of salt

6:10 am

sprite, you NEVER have a stoopid day!

6:10 am

also using the list today!

6:10 am

believe me, I do, and today is one of them!

phan, stupid no's! try no+ not your pa, and then plural. then no + french for me. see if those help

6:12 am

I'm always disappointed when the words I'm making up, aren't real.

6:13 am

thnk, Katy that did help, I needed everyone of those!

6:13 am

anyone have an idea what that SH 6 word is?

6:13 am

I get miffed when words like somnia aren't valid. I mean, there is insomnia, right?

those were my last no's too

6:13 am

thanks katy!

yw

6:14 am

Nicely done Katie.

6:14 am

vowelless hush word alert

6:14 am

sprite, i tried that one too :-)

6:14 am

lol glad I'm not the only one

6:14 am

sprite, was that for me?

6:15 am

sorry no, that was a loose clue

has to be an shy doesn't it?

6:15 am

I got the ta8... what's the other 8?

6:15 am

either a shy or a sht

6:15 am

I would think

6:15 am

ma, Brookie

6:15 am

thx

6:16 am

yeah, got the ma8, thanks!

6:16 am

does that MA 8 build off the boat word?

6:16 am

yes, now I have it

6:16 am

yes it does, though not in meaning

got the sh word. uses sh from top right corner. anyone need a clue?

6:16 am

yes please

6:17 am

no thanks, your hint for which tile did the trick, thanks

sh, ends in your hearing organ

with a consonent in the middle.

6:18 am

ahh! do you want some sh**** on your bagel?

6:19 am

somehow it doesn't sound tasty

there you go! i couldn't figure out how to clue it.

6:19 am

but that might be because of the hearing organ association

ma 8 is an elephant.

6:19 am

very big, very hairy and very extinct (ma8)

Fireworks

gratz Merk

6:20 am

Congratulations Merk!

6:21 am

washing machine is beeping me. Back in a minute

6:22 am

Bundle up Merk, take care.

6:22 am

Good morning all. I have 10 minutes before I need to leave for work.

6:22 am

inny is too a word! My belly buckle is an "inny". Jeez.

6:23 am

I have a deep inny/innie!

6:23 am

G'd morning Scrabbler. Snooze button morn? :)

6:23 am

you call it a belly buckle? We call it a belly button!

6:23 am

Morning, Scrabbler. And I'm off to work and then to a very, very belated Christmas party.

6:24 am

Nope, I got up promptly at 6:15 but I made salads for the bunnies, then had to type on-call notes and e-mail those to the office.

6:24 am

Phand, we've called it a "belly buckle" for all my 43 years. Not sure why.

6:25 am

Is it not a Canadian thing?

6:25 am

A Nova Scotia term, I suppose.

6:25 am

I hink it's a "my family makes up words" thing. :)

6:25 am

*think even

6:25 am

oh, I see, that's cute!

6:27 am

Vowels, always the vowel words that I wrestle with. Ack. ***purple crayon...check!***

6:27 am

I am finding all of my initial words in the lower middle 9 tiles.

6:30 am

I just typed in a mistake--I typedin the wrong vowel and that word IS a word!!

6:31 am

Yea for typos!

6:31 am

Yay, Scrabbler. **providing much-needed cheer*

6:33 am

6:34 am

nope -no pb for me.

6:34 am

We'll let you offwith just a warning,Jindigo.

6:34 am

well I think I am gonna call it quits for now, 1st pass through of the list and I am down to 36 words left to find.

6:35 am

Jindigo, your time in the pb just doubled

6:35 am

Wow, good for you, phandmd.

6:35 am

Hi Sprite! How are you? I have to get ready to leave for work in a moment.

6:38 am

6:38 am

6:38 am

Wow, that is amaing, Sprite! How wonderful!

6:39 am

Sprite - wow! good for you and your sister.

6:39 am

The bunnies are sweet and adorable. They keep me smiling.

6:39 am

6:39 am

Serendipity! I love that word and when it happens!

6:40 am

6:40 am

Well, I have 132 to go. After work I will XC-ski for 2 hrs. Enjoy the day.

6:41 am

6:41 am

6:43 am

6:44 am

Later Scrabbler. G'd morning anyone I missed

6:45 am

7:50 am

or Flinstones

7:51 am

7:51 am

hi annie!

7:51 am

clever lady!

7:51 am

thanks, Lady for ma8

7:52 am

you're quite welcome :)

7:52 am

great clue, Lady

Lady what does the elephants predecessor start with please?

7:53 am

am5 is the pl of a thin, tough, membranous sac that encloses the embryo or fetus of a mammal, bird, or reptile.... but it really just reminds me of the that means "without any memory" without the middle letters that spell S

7:53 am

Hi all. The other 8, ta8 is the way scientific classification is done. Begins with what you pay the government.

i have an ma8 and an ma 7...are there any other large m words?

7:53 am

ma8

7:53 am

nono... it's an M word

7:53 am

gosh, I should have seen that one! *cries*

thanks and thanks Jac

7:54 am

I knew you'd say that, Ata. LOL

7:54 am

no, TO, those are the big ones

7:54 am

so embarrassing!

7:54 am

I feel your pain, Ata. *grins*

7:55 am

didn't Fred Flinstone use one of those at the quarry? Or was it only the smaller one for his shower? I can't remember.

7:55 am

I can't figure out how to spell the taz

7:55 am

Hey Babble Family !

7:57 am

Well, so far, progressing, albeit slowly......

hi Aussie!

7:57 am

aussie, things are looking up slowly...she is in my prayers

7:57 am

Peri - think of the au8 word that pertains to moral responsibility (begins with a vehicle word). The ending of the ta8 is the name.

7:58 am

I don't know much more than that at the moment Annie, she is still not talking to me, so I have to go through my Mum...... She tells me whatever she knows.....

annie sorry to hear your sister is ill.

7:59 am

Hey NoNo !!

7:59 am

ta8 is classification in biology

sorry aussie

7:59 am

aussie, as you said things are going slowly, I will continue to pray for her

8:28 am

Hey BabRab !

8:28 am

Hey BabRab !

8:28 am

oh, babble, I saw a quote the other day that made me think of you, and the kind of quotes you post: "of course Ghandi won the oscar! He was everything the members of the Academy wish they were - tan, thin and moral."

8:28 am

yup we have warmings issued that bare skin can be harmed in 5 minutes:(

8:28 am

Trif, that is priceless

8:29 am

for some reason, I didn't realize austrailia got that cold......too much crocodile dundee I guess. Babble's arctic cold is supposedly headed this way

8:29 am

crossy, did they pull the mounted police off the streets? when it gets really cold here in boston they make sure to do that

8:29 am

**puts up flying piggy shield**

8:30 am

ahh trif..all our police are not in red and riding horses..they are mostly ceremonial

8:30 am

Sharon, I am in the UK (the flag gives it away normally) :0)

8:30 am

as long as they keep the horses in, that is all that matters

8:31 am

we have actual mounted police in boston, crossy, that is why I asked

8:32 am

we have SOME mostly in cities...we have 2 mounted police in town here,but not (the mounties) and it is used as a ket to know your police sort of thing

8:32 am

hello....will someone pls clue the my for me?

8:32 am

Hey Kim m !

8:33 am

**wait.... hold it..... theres an MY word ?? .... looking furiously**

8:33 am

hello kim..dont have it

8:33 am

you may have more in boston that ive seen exept in ottawa,we often use police on bycicles here though

8:33 am

my 5 == add the robotic ending

8:33 am

thank you, BR

8:34 am

I knew they weren't all dressed in red and all....we had a huge problem with the horses getting sick on cold days, and no one could figure it out. then finally they discovered that on REALLY cold days, the breath of the horses was freezing on the way in, and the little ice particle were piercing the insides of the horses and they were suffering from internal bleeding, poor things!

8:34 am

thanx BR..thats fireworks

8:34 am

the here use brooms and flying carpets

8:34 am

congrats, kim

8:34 am

police

8:35 am

8:40 am

8:41 am

8:41 am

8:41 am

Oh Mi Gosh !! I found tht without even looking for it !

8:42 am

Trif, sack your Monkeys and get new ones !!

8:42 am

think yiddish....I wish you could see how funny that is...I am from a teeeeny town in new england, where even the catholics are WASPS....we don't know from yiddish, which is a shame

8:42 am

i've always lived in new england too :)

8:43 am

but you pick things up

8:43 am

lol Trif !

8:44 am

I hope they are not contagious, hursh. The things you pick up.

8:45 am

only on rare occasions

8:45 am

trif, yiddish is a very colorful language..you would have fun with the slang

8:46 am

I wanna learn Yiddish !! Might be fun to use at wrk, when all around me, our Polish contingency are yattering away ten to the dozen !!

8:46 am

I wish I had had more exposure to it, annie. Those I know who did describe it just as you have - lots of color and very useful, imaginitive slang. sounds delightful!

8:50 am

remember everyone check out the new love of my life,THE BACON EXPLOSION! http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes /bacon-explosion/ this may actually get the last of those pesky unclogged arteries;)

8:51 am

8:51 am

**holding crossy to ransom**

8:52 am

each slice contains 1,450% of the daily reccomended fat intake

8:52 am

ROFL !!

8:52 am

I feel a bacon and cheese samich coming on !

8:53 am

**not really, I have a Jacket Potato for my Lunch ages ago !

8:53 am

or had even !

8:53 am

oh aussie!...2 or 3 slices of bacon explosion and your sammich will be a prize winner

8:54 am

crossy, OMG, that is a heart attack on a plate!!! looks tasty though, i must admit....could you just cook it in a slow oven, do you think? I don't have a smoker

8:54 am

3 slices please **for extra clogging**

8:54 am

and, have you ever had pig candy? THAT I can eat by the pound, I must admit....

8:55 am

erm.... PIG CANDY ??? lease explain !

8:55 am

"porkys pork rinds" :))

8:55 am

8:55 am

OH !!!!!

8:55 am

lientery pate may curb the calorie intake

morning all!

8:56 am

I brought some to a christmas party once, and it quite literally got inhaled in minutes. It was just a huge hit, and my friend Patrick just kept saying "everything is better with bacon!" over and over, it was so funny

8:57 am

Good morning Trif et al!

8:57 am

rofl Trif !

8:57 am

Hey Kadresa !

8:57 am

good morning kad. check out the recipe cross just posted - amazing!

8:57 am

Hey MagMom !

8:57 am

hi mom and kadresa

8:57 am

morning mom!

hey aussie, kad

8:58 am

Which one..the pig candy?? How'd you sleep?

hey trif

8:58 am

hi all

8:58 am

good morning all

8:58 am

with both eyes closed Kad !

8:58 am

no no, the bacon explosion at 9:50. and crappy, thanks :( you?

8:58 am

Hey Teach !

8:58 am

Hey JMC !!

mornign teach

8:58 am

hello teach! how delightful to see so many friends today!

8:59 am

hi wv

8:59 am

Like you sleep when you've had something really awful happen to you. Told Mom this morning; she was very sympathetic.

8:59 am

Its a Babble Explosion !!

8:59 am

speaking of which, have you heard from marcia?

9:00 am

anyone have a clue for the in 6?

9:00 am

in + mo4

9:00 am

your in6 thoughts

9:01 am

Okay...I'm back...I cannot imagine cleaning up after that meal! Thank God you make it outside, the inside of your home would smell for months!

9:01 am

the grid doesn't like mosh pits

9:01 am

I know jmc, I wasn't impressed either !

9:01 am

lol, kad - but that would be my only option, as we don't have a smoker. I think Primo would try to eat that in one sitting. He would just see a big slim jim

9:02 am

No, I haven't heard from Marcia and I realized that I forgot to tell Mom about it.

9:02 am

Believe me that would taste way better than a slim jim!

9:02 am

I told mom, but at the same time I also told her about rachael, which was of course a huge mistake. Now she thinks marcia went skiing and had a PE, and rachael broke her hip. geesh, I never learn

9:04 am

Do you think Car is up yet? I don't want her to think I didn't reach out to her.

9:04 am

ok guys, I have to pop off for now.... Got a few things to do..... see you all later if you are around..... **poofing**

9:04 am

bye aussie

9:04 am

bye aussie, kiss georgia for me

9:05 am

which reminds me, a HUGE thank you to all of you who sent notes for me to send to Marcia, aka "aknitter" - she is going to be so thrilled to get them! I sent them in a card, so she has something to hold and look at, and put on the fridge and all. sometimes email just isn't the same, you know?

9:06 am

You are really thoughtful EB; I am so lucky to have you in my life1

9:06 am

(((blush)))

9:07 am

Trif, I left yesterday without sending a note to aknitter. Please, please tell her I hope everything knits together and she is up and about and running soon. Stay away from that deck!

9:07 am

Okay Annie! Will do!

9:07 am

"knits together!" how funny are you!

9:07 am

thanks, trif

9:08 am

HEY - "Inny" is a word!

9:08 am

9:08 am

biab (for todays inspiration please google the song "everybodys free to wear sunscreen") semi-poof

9:16 am

yup and out like a blown light bulb... it affected my breathing for weeks afterwards

9:17 am

10:39 am

yeah a little too whiny for my taste.. don't find much of that mean humor really funny

10:39 am

Loved Seinfeld. It was a show about nothing.

10:40 am

(that is because you are cynical and have a wicked sense of humor)

10:41 am

Cynicism makes the world go round, baby!!

10:41 am

10:41 am

I never thought of it as mean humor

11:49 am

I love the do5/18, how is that a word? Hi! we're going to Mount Do**y!

11:50 am

maybe i should shake it...

11:50 am

jes, just add a y or an S to your first 55 words, and see if that helps

11:50 am

yes LOL, especially ones that it doesn't look like they'll work for

11:51 am

i've already been adding y's :)

11:51 am

12:01 pm

the heavier words fall faster

12:01 pm

my boyfriend is looking for words that you can type on a cellphone keypad using only the first letters on the keys.

12:10 pm

12:13 pm

12:14 pm

no -- thought that was for the sh

12:14 pm

i meant sh sorry

12:14 pm

oh -- was wanting an sh 7 that doesn't exist *whack on side of head*

12:14 pm

add a consonant ...added to so many other words today

12:15 pm

greedy, are we?

12:16 pm

one consonant + one consonant = two consonants

12:17 pm

12:17 pm

ta 8 - system of classification

12:17 pm

hello

12:18 pm

12:18 pm

ty jbv

12:19 pm

12:19 pm

12:19 pm

yw - can someone help with the e on the top - i only have two - ea 4 and ep 4

12:20 pm

12:20 pm

my first word was the ta 8 I just clued - thanks to the chog!

12:20 pm

an8? i don't think so

12:21 pm

12:21 pm

an ... 8 ...

12:21 pm

12:21 pm

ea 4 ei 5 ep 6 ep 4

hello! diving in

12:23 pm

ep 6, please?

12:23 pm

i think that's fish worthy (smacks self with puffer fish - ouch)

12:24 pm

no 8 is fish worthy!

12:24 pm

hi feather..come on in, the water's...ok

12:24 pm

my first word was the hy5! had to monkey it

12:24 pm

ep 6 - ends with 3 letter ending for words that mean the same and opposites

12:25 pm

yeah, i guess...

12:26 pm

that's as clear as mud jbv

12:26 pm

i got it!

12:26 pm

syno*** and anto***

12:26 pm

no good deed goes unrewarded, JBV

a syn**** is a word that means the same as another, a hom**** sounds the same, etc.

12:26 pm

sorry, cybernan, i can give you the definition that might be a little clear than mud - a person or place from which a name is derived

12:27 pm

just as more often no good deed goes unpunished

12:27 pm

ty jbv and feather

12:27 pm

: )

12:28 pm

thanks fuquay & JbV

12:28 pm

I was thinking it was an ending with the opposite meanings -- not two different words with the same ending

12:28 pm

and feather, though i didn't see your clue til after :)

12:29 pm

np

12:31 pm

well, that's 100 words. is it shameful to go to the list so early?

12:31 pm

hate to go to the list with only 33 left, but this is getting too painful!

12:32 pm

up to you jes! depends on your goals and time

12:32 pm

it is only shameful if you consider it so!

12:32 pm

right, feather, I have no hard and fast rules for myself - depends on each day and available time (and brain energy)

12:32 pm

yup. nan done showed me up there

12:33 pm

today I have 46 left to find, haven't used the list yet, but then we've had some great cluers here

12:33 pm

babble is a competition only by choice

12:34 pm

yep. some days i finish, some i don't. sometimes i list, sometimes i don't. sometimes i just try to get to halfway before the list, sometimes i make myself go farther. totally depends.

12:34 pm

sometimes, like yesterday, i don't even start once i hear what the grid is like!

12:34 pm

i know. i'm thinkng i'll need to list soon to finish... need to go do other stuff at some point today

12:34 pm

sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't

12:35 pm

lol krista

12:35 pm

ok, showing my age there

12:35 pm

I like finishing every day, but that's me being personally competitive, thats just me. But then again, sometimes I simply can't be bothered to start

12:35 pm

it was just great timing for nan's comment, is all...

12:35 pm

thanks. now that's running in my head.

12:35 pm

lol yes, brilliant timing

12:35 pm

hah! krista, i never feel like a nut, but there is a sad sad tendency of stores around here to only carry almond joy and NOT mounds, whats up with that?

12:35 pm

should i know the Y word?

12:36 pm

sorry jes -- we must have posted at exactly the same time!

12:36 pm

it's shown up in several grids, feather.

12:36 pm

oh dont you hate that feather, sorry :)

12:36 pm

yo4

12:36 pm

ah, got it

12:36 pm

yo 4 is a babblet we've had before

12:36 pm

macar***

12:36 pm

that's just plain wrong, jes

12:37 pm

yup. you're just better than me, nan. i can deal with it. *sobs quietly*

12:37 pm

feather- you've looked far and yo* + the third vowel

12:37 pm

so i make a point of buying a mounds anywhere that they sell them, even if i don't want a candy bar at the time.

12:37 pm

lol

12:37 pm

12:42 pm

Reading and categorizing articles in Dutch by and about the Dutch resistance during WWII and adding a list of key words for search engines, at this place: http://www.onderzoekinformatie.nl/en/o i/nod/organisatie/ORG1236212/#lopendpr j The job will become avaoilable if this other guy gets a promotion he is fully expected to get. I can then interview before they advertise the position.

12:42 pm

hi takuma.. has FL warmed up yet?

12:42 pm

sorry if this is a late comment (I had to take a break, just getting back) but for those interested in nuts, you should see January Harper's Magazine, "Everybody's Gone Nuts" about the exaggerated epidemic of food (specifically nut) allergies

12:42 pm

me 5 -- add Pl*** the Elder

12:42 pm

oh my yes

12:43 pm

what an interesting job monkey. good luck

12:43 pm

I just came in sitting on a patio, because it was too hot in the sun

12:43 pm

A friend of mine is the accountant there and as soon as she heard I am getting my degree next week she dropped a word with the boss.

12:43 pm

Thanks!

12:43 pm

hi, Monkey - sounds like a great job! when will you know?

12:43 pm

monkey, there are often jobs on Elance for Dutch translation

12:43 pm

er, came in *from* sitting on a patio

12:43 pm

nice.... my BF said it was thirty six the other day in Sanibel

12:43 pm

ty babrab

12:43 pm

bah! it's up to 18F on the sunny side of the house here, takuma :P

12:43 pm

Within a week I'll know if the job is vacant; after that I don't know...

12:44 pm

yes, we had a pretty serious (for here) cold snap for a few days

12:44 pm

clue for the h plz

12:44 pm

No word yet on the crop damage

12:44 pm

I'll look at that, Krista, and thanks. I'd have to do Dutch to English because my Dutch written grammar still sucks but I could do that... great tip! Thank you!

12:44 pm

but there's lots of concern that some orchards may have been permanently damaged

12:45 pm

hy 5 -- add a male begat

12:45 pm

ty br

12:45 pm

good point takuma, thanks for the tip

12:45 pm

I don't know how far south the hard freeze extended, but up here it was pretty bad

12:46 pm

Monkey, have you found a good online forum for Dutch-English translation? I only mention it because I use WordReference.com (but it's only Spanish/French/Italian/German)

12:46 pm

thinking on that O, thanks

12:46 pm

It would be. And to land a civil service job with all the perks AND at a highly respected academic instiutute as a first job right out of school would look GOOD.

12:46 pm

got it!

12:46 pm

the o usually begins with col****** or ur******

I could use any o clues also. still missing 4 from those two in the middle column

12:46 pm

thanks jbv

12:47 pm

jbv..just saw your post about nut alleriges..my daughter is allergic..it stinks on many levels..i sneak nuts when i'm away from her..love them so much

12:47 pm

No, JBV, since I speak it I usually just rely on one-word translations from Interglot and the like and then have a Dutch-born person check my reports for grammar.

12:48 pm

My neighbor's son has a nut allergy too. He's only 2 so they need to be very careful at public places wehre someone might give him something to eat.

12:48 pm

my daughter in law is allergic to nuts... I'm not even allowed to put pecans in the turkey stuffing... the oils leach out into the meat

12:48 pm

sorry to hear that, Krista, but this article also says that most of the media reports about the danger of anaphylactic shock, etc. come from an organization that is not exactly bias-free

12:48 pm

is it food allergy network?

12:49 pm

The neighbor kid just has an asthma attack if he eats anything with nuts. Requires a trip to the ER but he is not in immediate danger, thank goodness. No shock or anything.

12:49 pm

FAAN -

12:49 pm

OK, I guess I have to go... the laptop is making That Weird Noise again and only shutting it down for a while helps. The new computer will be ready soon.... Have fun all!

12:50 pm

the author of the article does not deny that allergies exist but that FAAN's data derive from one study in 1999 of a small population

12:50 pm

i dont know, jbv..i didnt read the article, but living with the danger everyday, i think it would be hard to overemphasize the dangers to those who dont understand it

12:50 pm

bye, monkey

12:50 pm

ciao, monkey

12:51 pm

no 5/12? -- have the plural

12:51 pm

ar6??

12:51 pm

nm -- found them

12:51 pm

no + french me

12:52 pm

I agree it's tricky, Krista, because you don't want to minimize the real dangers, but they do point out there are big discrepancies between FAAN's data and the CDC reports of actual deaths

12:52 pm

ar6 = plural

12:52 pm

ar 6 is a pl

12:52 pm

FAAN is a godsend to parents like me...will have to check out the article..you said Harpers?

12:52 pm

ar 6: ar + robotic ending

12:52 pm

okay, I don't have the ar5, so that would explain it LOL

12:52 pm

robot ending

12:52 pm

ty I got it!

12:52 pm

Harper's January 2008 (it's not a long article, but what they call an "annotation," analysis of a piece of FAAN's literature

12:53 pm

You could probably write a great letter to the editor in response, Krista

12:54 pm

yeah, to be honest, i dont pay much attention to the stats..they can be twisted to suit anyone's agenda...unless I read the actual study myself

12:55 pm

what's FAAN?

12:55 pm

food allergy and anaphalaxis network

12:55 pm

lol - two days in a row we have a vowel-less word in the grid

12:56 pm

thanks..i'm going out in a bit, will see if i can find that...MagMom..had a look...very attractive, informative magazine!

12:56 pm

we had some wonderful news just before Christmas -- our granddaughter, who had anaphalactic reactions to chicken and fish, has outgrown her allergies!!!

12:57 pm

ty Krista! always like to hear positive stuff :-)

12:57 pm

oh nan, that IS wonderful...my daughter outgrew egg allergies..it opened up a whole new world for her...peanut allergy has doubled tho

12:57 pm

and you've given me an idea for an article on nut allergies!

12:57 pm

Hello, all!

12:57 pm

Jell!!!!

12:57 pm

hi jell, how's tricks?

12:58 pm

takuma..havent seen that one, yet..what are first two letters?

12:58 pm

we had turkey for the first time in 12 years at Christmas dinner!

12:58 pm

isn't 'dosh' a word for money? or am I thinking of something else?

12:58 pm

hiya jell

12:58 pm

ps, krista

12:58 pm

it's a real attention-getter

12:58 pm

u know, i could have sworn it took dosh before..yes, money

12:58 pm

ty! lol

12:59 pm

i should have seen that one

12:59 pm

magmom, just checked out the website - your magazine is beautiful - I love the colorful layout, titles and wonderful articles

12:59 pm

;)

12:59 pm

I have now spent more time updating my profile than I have working on these last 12 words- perhaps I should fold some laundry

12:59 pm

I'm good! Going to check out magmom's website...

12:59 pm

Thank you so much JBV! We don't like to brag, but we are proud of it

12:59 pm

uh-oh, laundry, you just reminded me I have something else to do besides babble, see you all later,

I sometimes play another online boggle-type game that uses a broader dictionary than babble -- it can be hard to switch back and forth

1:00 pm

its very colorful...draws the reader right in....bye JBV

ciao jbv

see ya JBV!

1:00 pm

later then jbv

1:01 pm

nan, she could have no poultry of any kind?

why, I ask you, am I folding my ex-husbands clothes?

1:01 pm

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)

1:01 pm

whaaaa???? MagMom??

go nan!!

1:01 pm

Yay, nan!!!!

1:01 pm

none, krista -- couldn't even eat meats from the deli, because they were also used to slice poultry.

I know -- because you're about to donate them to Goodwill?

1:02 pm

***toot toot*** for nan!!

1:02 pm

**toot toot** for outgrowing allergies! :)

1:02 pm

Ex-husband's clothes??

cognacs nan

1:02 pm

Gun safety rules (ala some t-shirt): No matter how responsible he seems, never give your gun to a monkey.

1:02 pm

*the slicers were used for other things

1:02 pm

oh yes, cross-contamination is a constant danger

1:03 pm

It has made a tremendous difference to her interest in food and eating.

LOL Krista! He and my daughter did several loads of laundry for me last weekend while I was on deadline- he mixed his in and I am just getting around to folding the last basket

1:04 pm

I thought i was supernice by having my ex to all of our holiday parties...you far surpass me in kindness

1:04 pm

Fear of cross contamination is a terrible thing -- it completely took the joy from dining out -- even as a family, because she couldn't eat anything in a restaurant that served fowl -- even then there was a risk because so many things contain chicken fat.

1:05 pm

i can imagine, nan..you know, i have a friend whose 7 year old cannot eat ANY food...he is on an elemental formula and water..he is allergic to everything

well the good news is we have clean undies!

yikes, I just swatted myself in the face, knocking my glasses off, trying to shoo a fly away

that is so scary Krista

and I'm out in a cafe - boy did I make a spectacle of myself

1:06 pm

when i feel down about my kids' allergies, I think of him

1:06 pm

LOL takuma...careful, there

nan- I can't even imagine what kind of a toll that takes on family life

1:06 pm

Everyone in the family is relieved for her and thrilled that we no longer have to sterilize our kitchens when she comes for a visit!

1:06 pm

u made a spectacle with your spectacles

1:06 pm

Lol, Krista

ha, exactly, Krista

1:07 pm

must run -- we

ciao, nan

2:31 pm

ooh lind bundle up

2:31 pm

me + t*** Tim, tiptoeing through the tulips...

2:31 pm

PAV...where in MI do yu hail from?

2:31 pm

good question pav don't know

2:31 pm

if you have cable, no need convereter, only need converter for off-the-air TV

2:32 pm

thanks

2:32 pm

ADrian, SW of AnnArbor, Lenawee county seat

2:32 pm

then how's omce I don't get the extra digital stations on those sets?

2:32 pm

ty from me jellen strange word

2:33 pm

know where it is, never been there

2:33 pm

how's come...

2:33 pm

that would be a matter of your cable company no providing them then, pav

2:33 pm

part of the catch a tiger rhyme I guess

2:33 pm

You have to have HD to get extra digital

2:33 pm

smallish town of about 25,ooo surrounded by farmland...

2:34 pm

grew up in Troy

2:34 pm

Hi, phaeton, btw

2:34 pm

my son's friend moved to AZ and had to give up his iPhone couldn't get a good connection

2:34 pm

and the old sets will display the digital picture in the old format

2:34 pm

he must live near you pav

2:34 pm

but when the switch comes, Ishould have no dificulty as long as I have cable...but the question is will have more than the basic five 'digital ' stations...

2:35 pm

i'm a little slow, but yay jellen

2:35 pm

Thanks, Dorens!

2:35 pm

nothing should change as long as you are on cable

2:35 pm

correct, with cable should have no problem. Whether you get more than the basic 5 depends on your cable carrier, and, i suppsoe, your cable plan

2:35 pm

i{hone...with no connection,,,AT&T should be no prob in the four or so major cities here in AZ...is in the boonies somewhere?

2:35 pm

hi jellen and congrats!

2:36 pm

apparently pav don't know where exactly

2:36 pm

Don't confuse digital with 'high definition'

2:36 pm

i think some cable companies are dropping stations, supposedly not related to the digital switchover

2:36 pm

ok, i give up.... last word is sa6 and i'm so sstuck... is this fishy?

2:37 pm

no my "old" 26 flat panel from Dell was HD but not digital...it didn't get the extra chnnels the new set does...

2:37 pm

Anglo-Sa*** + sometimes vowel

2:37 pm

sa6 - former german kingdom that helped settle Britain

2:37 pm

Or they said it is a kind of wool ...sa6

2:37 pm

not proper noun?

2:38 pm

remember enable, dorens :)

2:38 pm

hello all :)

2:38 pm

olde english titular house of Sa***and whatever the royal house is...

2:43 pm

*blush Ata*

2:43 pm

add mr bennet, harp

2:44 pm

how's oscarmonster?

2:44 pm

more than one intersection, point, teach

2:44 pm

I feel that could be construed as slanderous towards monsters Ata :)

2:44 pm

you know - classifying them in the same breath as Oscar!

2:45 pm

mr bennett won't go to the os....

2:45 pm

yes he will, harp, mr bennet, the singer

2:45 pm

french nighs teach

2:45 pm

night

2:45 pm

LOL well true ...

2:45 pm

He no** his head in agreement

2:45 pm

jellen, put a vowel at the end

2:46 pm

I met a baby baby Os today - at Tesco's there was a guide dog puppy and a guide dog in training, both black labs

2:46 pm

Blast! Wrong one...

2:46 pm

dc...i think that is AS6...harp wants OS6

2:46 pm

thnx harpjane - thats the one that i needed

2:46 pm

No really lol he's fine - all walked out and snoring. He's been good today - ish! He only stuck his head into the kids biscuit box and licked them! Nothing else! How's Hobbit?

2:46 pm

yw teach

2:46 pm

oops, same clue, different consonant toward end :)

2:46 pm

for OS that is

2:46 pm

os + ***cat (male) + sometimes vowel

2:46 pm

Now Ata theres a question that bothers me...

2:46 pm

ostomy

2:46 pm

got it, lol

2:47 pm

How! Just HOW! Do they train black labs to be guide dogs????????? And what am I missing???

2:47 pm

ty Dc

2:47 pm

LOL :) Hobbit's tired too, not snoring for once. She had a run-in with the Arch Enemy earlier which was amusing

2:47 pm

labs are common guide dogs here, liz

2:47 pm

lmao I know! You'd think they'd find intelligent dogs!

2:48 pm

a saw a german shepherd guide dog once

2:48 pm

Here too DC - but my lab is barking mad - I wouldn't trust hm as far as I could throw him - which lets face it is really not far at all lol

2:49 pm

Ata therein lies the problem - he is intelligent (never mind what the vet says) and thats why he runs rings round me!!!

2:49 pm

Liz: http://tinyurl.com/cay7fb

2:49 pm

intelligent, just a liiiiittle bit loopy

2:49 pm

i've a friend whose dog seems dumb, until he's outsde, at which point he's in his element big-time

2:49 pm

phantom epoxy

2:50 pm

yay pav!!!

2:50 pm

ep6?

2:50 pm

congrats, pav!!!

2:50 pm

wtg Pav

2:51 pm

Who is Hobbits arch-enemy then?

2:51 pm

ep6= a word based on or derived from a person's name

2:51 pm

appears to me the dogs have trained their owners than the owners have trained the dogs

2:52 pm

thanks jellen

2:52 pm

that is very true in my case BabRab - but not through lack of trying on my part!

2:52 pm

the Arch Enemy is on facebook -- the enormous tabby in my photos

2:53 pm

he's called Freddy - next door's cat, Hobbit hates him with a passion and chases him up trees at every opportunity

2:53 pm

thanks all for your help!..BR that's not fair...! My poopies are still somewhat intelligent even if they mess on my family's carpeting on more than one occasion even after scolding them!

2:53 pm

LOL Ata, in my case its the cats who chase the dog

2:54 pm

looooooool

2:54 pm

maybe they are just expressing their opinion pav they like their home and that's that

2:54 pm

and we have one of those here too Liz...drives Joey bonkers trynig to get away!

2:54 pm

this cat is literally twice or more times bigger than Silverclaw. sometimes they have hissing matches through the front door

2:54 pm

Freddy, the Arch Enemy...sounds like classic conflict...

2:54 pm

k, i'm off to dress and eat, bbl

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

Bye, dc

2:54 pm

2:55 pm

2:55 pm

no, harp

2:55 pm

2:55 pm

2:56 pm

Freddy is the only thing SIlverclaw will hiss at.

2:56 pm

3:07 pm

oh yes??? Does Brilliant Ben do Everything himself??

3:07 pm

fireworks here

3:07 pm

She said "On our challenge there was just a few local guides with donkey's - it is very remote and you really do have to do everything yourself - it is very harsh not much food and we had to really make the water last - so when he says about drinking all the time it is also about making it last the day - being filmed also puts enormous pressure on you in addition to the challenges themselves - it was a great experience and def life-changing! xx"

3:07 pm

congrats, wvteach

5:42 pm

wutsamatta Hurshy?

5:42 pm

what is the matter, hursh?

5:43 pm

Don't think that's a word, Hursh. But, we'll accept it because we like you.

5:43 pm

Hope that you're not annoyed by Babble.Grid is a bit annoying today. Your Babble friends are here to help

5:43 pm

i like the show leverage, but on tuesday, i didn't catch it, i forget why, but i saw that it was showing again at midnight, so then i set my recorder, and saved it for a weekend treat. then i went to watch it an hour ago to find that i taped the wrong channel. and it was on again today at noon but i missed it because i thought i had it taped!

5:43 pm

OMG. What a word to finish on!

5:44 pm

Oh GRRRRR! Hurshy! That stinks!

5:44 pm

AND they haven't put the last couple of episodes up on the web yet so that's not an option either. :(

5:44 pm

aw that is annoying, sorry Hurshy

5:44 pm

Congratulations Atalante on fireworks! Hooray for U!

I am back--now watching Part 6 of John Adams (HBO Special)

5:45 pm

My husband made up a word today. He was trying to say "magnanimous" and said "magnomious".

5:45 pm

TNT really needs to get their act together. USA is so much more on top of things.

5:45 pm

Yahoo Atalante!

5:46 pm

Judi, tell your husband that he used a phantom word.

5:46 pm

wait, I didn't get any of the pancakes, Scrabs

5:46 pm

5:46 pm

I said, "do you mean magnetic gnomes?" He was not amused.

5:46 pm

SOAPNET needs to get their act together!They don't even show soaps all day on Saturdays & Sunday nites.

5:46 pm

looooool

5:47 pm

Ah, yes, here is a tableful of pumpkin pancakes, butter, maple syrup, plates, forks and napkins!

5:47 pm

Goodbye stidmama! I wi'll see you later on tonight maybe

5:47 pm

5:47 pm

YUM, Scrabbler! Sounds damn good!

5:48 pm

Of course Judi!

5:48 pm

hmm, will have to try that, Scrabs

5:49 pm

I still crave them every now and then and I just can't make them right...and then there is the lack of coconut syrup!

5:49 pm

Thank you for the explanation jmcnrick. Just read it.

5:49 pm

Not big on coconut, but love the macadamias (not to be confused with macagnomias).

5:50 pm

reading yours encouraged me to explain

5:50 pm

Hi all - I have been checking in off and on all day. I have 102 words but have now slowed to a crawl - off to the lists!

5:50 pm

LOL Judi!

5:50 pm

Hiya, Tor! 'Bout time we had some man meat in here.

5:52 pm

Hello torgone! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!

5:53 pm

HiSCrabs

5:53 pm

LOL, Judi--that sounds like we are going to attack and eat Torgone.

5:53 pm

he died from an obscure form of hereditary cancer. he might have lived longer but he smoked (are you listening NancyBoy?)

5:53 pm

No fighting girls .. There's enough to go around ..

5:53 pm

hi torg and dr

5:53 pm

I really am sorry JMC.

5:53 pm

ty it was a long time ago

5:54 pm

((jmc))

5:54 pm

So sad, jm. A life cut short by cigarettes.

5:54 pm

fighting girls? what? where? oh, nm.

5:54 pm

Hi JMC- reading back in the chog-

5:54 pm

You are a mere token tonight, Tor.

5:54 pm

Uh, oh, I think my college nephew is here! No warning!

5:54 pm

I am trying to get my hubby to quit smoking, but he won't. I think he'll be a smoker for the rest of his life.

5:54 pm

the guys are crawling out of the gridwork now

5:54 pm

Hi, Dan. Welcome to the minority.

5:54 pm

I just shoved my son back out the door.

5:54 pm

same here, Min..hard to deal with

5:55 pm

lol KRista- should I tell Danf to join us? I can call him

5:55 pm

The problem with being a smoker the rest of your life is that your life is shorter

5:55 pm

OMG I leave for one minute to put some laundry in the washing machine and the Babble women are tearing apart torgone ???

5:55 pm

my husband finally quit but not in time--acupuncture really helped

5:55 pm

not me lil I am non-violent

5:56 pm

yellow

5:56 pm

torgie? are you all right?

5:56 pm

sure, DR...you know...

5:56 pm

the guys are rarely here at the same time...

5:56 pm

hw is it?

5:56 pm

I think I'll live ..

5:56 pm

hehe

5:56 pm

My middle daughter started smoking during her year abroad in high school and just quit a few weeks ago. She asked what I wanted for Christmas and I told her "I want you to quit smoking so you have a longer life - the world is a wonderful place" she burst into tears and quit!

5:56 pm

did I miss a fight??? damn

5:56 pm

did acupuncture help him to quit smoking jmc?

5:56 pm

Smoking is evil. My oldest brother (55) is currently undergoing chemo for bladder cancer. Bladder is clear for the moment, but he just found out that it has spread to his lower spine. He quit smoking when he was diagnosed.

5:56 pm

Hey, LIL MONKEY!!!!

5:56 pm

I keep telling him I do not want to be a widow at 40.I HATE his smoking,but can't help someone unless they want to help themselves I guess. At least ge is polite about it and does not smoke in the house or the car.

5:57 pm

woohoo for birdee's daughter!!!!!!!

5:57 pm

not a fight exactly, kajee... i beelive the women were jostling for some "man" attention

5:57 pm

what a great story birdee I am so happy for you.

5:57 pm

we probably have one male on babble and he just has different aliases

5:57 pm

MetFan!!!! Good god, woman, where have you been?

5:57 pm

poor BGH

5:57 pm

i haven't seen you in ages, Sir Mets-a-Lot

5:58 pm

yes peri acupuncture is very good for additions. the man he saw donated help to crack addicts

5:58 pm

once again, same story here..he was going to quit when he moved here..when we got married..when our son was born..after the new year...

5:58 pm

Uh, if you check, you'll find out that the 'woman' thing does not apply....I have been lurking....

5:58 pm

Hello kje! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

5:58 pm

she said she had no idea how hard it would be - so far she hasn't gone back and her boyfirend quit too so they are supporting each other

5:58 pm

oh i'm sorry MetFan, it's just a figger of speech

5:58 pm

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

5:58 pm

May I please have a clue for the TA 8? I feel I have tried everything!

5:59 pm

my niece who is 31 smokes and has tried acupuncture but not for long. Will ask her to try it again

5:59 pm

Hi Min

5:59 pm

acupuncture worked a miracle with my mom's brain tumor symptoms

5:59 pm

the ta 8 adds on to the 5 above, like the science of?

5:59 pm

I am pretty wary of "alternative" medicine but that seems to really work

6:00 pm

Thought I'd join the rest of the guys (hear voice going deeper).....

6:00 pm

The drug Chantix is supposed to be wonderful to help people quit smoking. My brother took it and couldn't believe how completely it stopped the cravings.

6:00 pm

Judi, i have heard that gives you freaky bad nightmares

6:00 pm

Chantix did not work for my niece, bad side effects

6:00 pm

My college nephew is here til tomorrow, to catch up on studying.

6:00 pm

hubby has had RX for that twice Judi..i keep telling him it onlly works if you use it

6:00 pm

birdee - that is truly wonderful!!! It is hard... I have past heroin and coke addicts that will say the hardest to give up was the tobacco... hope she sticks with it! her body and her children will thank her!

6:00 pm

If my husband got sick he would say "I'm going to die anyway, so why quit?" Guess he doesn't want to live long enough to have family.It's a losing battle for me.

6:01 pm

I am so proud of your daughter, Birdee, for responding to your plea offered in love.

6:01 pm

:( minver .... i sympathize

6:01 pm

my husband was a criminal trial lawyer and one day I was chiding him and his client the heroine addict said "giving up smoking is harder than kicking H."

6:01 pm

Uh, yeah, Krista! And he has to keep taking it, and then wean himself off. Men are such babies. (Present company excluded of course).

6:01 pm

yep, we were taught that it is similar to a heroin addiction in difficulty to break

6:01 pm

Bronchitis and pneumonia are what I used to quit

6:02 pm

she must have been ready as I am not sure one can "make" someone do anyting, at least not for long

6:02 pm

33 left, cat is crying for something, brb

6:02 pm

what the client pointed out was that with heroine and other similar addictions you didn't get faced with it all the time

6:02 pm

Ms Pug was on the Chantix, and said it worked, but here's the catch - most HMOs won't pay for it! They'll pay for chemo, and radiation, and surgery if you GET cancer, but won't pay for a preventative! Stupid!!!

6:03 pm

even when someone is ready they sometimes need a push

6:03 pm

I'm a firm believer in proper motivation and loving support. And being locked in a room with no access to cigarettes helps tremendously as well.

6:03 pm

true jmc

6:03 pm

gonna go get somethin to eat

6:03 pm

i was hoping for same when patrick had very bad bronchitis recently, but nope..the asthma doesnt make a diff, either..its disgusting to me to smoke one minute and use albuterol the next

6:03 pm

glad you quit torgone... god for you!!!

6:03 pm

bye phand

6:03 pm

i think quitting cold turkey is the way to go

6:03 pm

Duct tape and bungee cords help too.

6:03 pm

i ate 4 or 5 rolls of Lifesavers a day while i was quitting

6:04 pm

Love the duct tape idea, Scrabs!!!

6:04 pm

my husband used inhalers all the time when we met and after I nagged him into decreasing the cigs he stopped using them

6:04 pm

you're absolutely right, met fan

6:04 pm

And even if there's no cigs involved, duct tape and bungee cords can be good healthy fun!

6:04 pm

you would Met!!!!!

6:04 pm

cold turkey is how I quit years ago, but they only had nasty flavored Nicorette when I tried. It was definitly the hardest thing I ever did.

6:04 pm

I totally agree MetFan, that is so stupid! They would rather make money off your hardships.So maybe the next administration will be able to change that.

6:04 pm

what made u finally make the decision, monkey?

6:04 pm

LOL judi

6:04 pm

Duct tape & bungee cords are my favorite tools for childhood discipline.

6:04 pm

wtg scrab

6:05 pm

it is your own will to quit this from a 2+ pack a day cold turkey quitter 17 years ago

6:05 pm

me5 please?

6:05 pm

Krista, the SMELL

6:05 pm

yay for all those who quit smoking...must be VERY difficult

6:05 pm

6:06 pm

Gotta poof so I can kick hubby's butt into gear. "POOF".

6:06 pm

hi regis

6:06 pm

I will always support increasing cigarette taxes. My hubby might stop if it got to be too expensive to buy

6:06 pm

I think what finally got my husband to the acupunture was that I complained about kissing him after he had been smoking! lol

6:06 pm

TY for me5--it took me a few tries

6:07 pm

jmc.. agree! kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray... I won't do it

6:07 pm

it will take me5, but not moosh?

6:07 pm

and hi all

6:07 pm

me5?

6:07 pm

will be back and forth got to watch basketball

6:08 pm

hello all

Refuse to kiss my husband when he is smoking. So we do not kiss too often, needless to say.It's his choice.

Hi, Angel

10:04 pm

thanks

10:04 pm

Sorry to hear that, nance

10:04 pm

Sorry, but I don't know of her, nance...

10:04 pm

Nance - was that your sis-in-law? Soory for your loss but glad her pain is done.xxx

10:04 pm

it is sad - she was a real trooper

10:05 pm

she was the head coach of the North Carolina State University female basketball team.

10:06 pm

no jacula sweetie - she was a local female college basketball head coach.

10:06 pm

here in Raleigh

10:06 pm

I was just thinking what my netnick would be if I adopted the UK form of Min's approach... MONOKINRU. Hmmm.

10:06 pm

Have y'all heard of Jimmy Valvano?

10:07 pm

Yes, nance

10:07 pm

Sorry, Nance, must've got the wrong person. I know there is a Babbler with a SIL almost at the end of the road with same. :-(

10:08 pm

Good. He didn't win his battle with cancer either. He was the men's basketball coach at NC State.

10:08 pm

don't you worry about it one bit jacula

10:09 pm

I won't, Nance, but sorry to hear about your coach anyway.

10:10 pm

thank you. i didn't graduate but the college credits is received were from NCSU.

10:10 pm

NO idea about USa colleges. We call them universities here, mostly, btw.

10:11 pm

Have i ever told y'all was a great group of people you are. Y'all are so caring and are always looking for things to make others' lives better. Thank you for that.

10:12 pm

Here in UK, you go to nursery, pre-school, school, then college, then university. After that come Adult Education Classes.

10:13 pm

Nance - if Babblers could rule the world, there would be the odd spat, but never outright war, methinks.

10:13 pm

That's basically the same system we have, Jac.

10:13 pm

Not so ifferent then, Jellen.

10:14 pm

yeah we have universities and colleges...some people call them universities and some call them colleges...

10:14 pm

*different

10:14 pm

May I please have a clue for to5-20? Thanks

10:15 pm

Mook - thanks for the info. Which part of the US call them colleges when they are unis?

10:15 pm

to5.20 is a poison.

10:15 pm

to5= poison

10:15 pm

10:59 pm

Singin now... Men of Harlech! In the Hollow, Do ye hear like rushing billow Wave on wave that surging follow Battle's distant sound? Tis the tramp of Saxon foemen, Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen, Be they knights or hinds or yeomen, They shall bite the ground! Loose the folds asunder, Flag we conquer under! The placid sky now bright on high, Shall launch its bolts in thunder! Onward! 'tis the country needs us, He is bravest, he who leads us Honor's self now proudly heads us, Freedom, God and Right! Rocky Steeps and passes narrow, Flash with spear and flight of arrow Who would think of death or sorrow? Death is glory now! Hurl the reeling horsemen over, Let the earth dead foemen cover Fate of friend, of wife, of lover, Trembles on a blow! Strands of life are riven! Blow for blow is given In deadly lock, or battle shock, And mercy shrieks to heaven! Men of Harlech! young or hoary, Would you win a name in story? Strike for home, for life, for glory! Freedom, God and Right! ---- Men of Harlech stop your dreaming Can't you see their spear points gleaming See their warrior's pendants streaming To this battle field. Men of Harlech stand ye steady It cannot be ever said ye For the battle were not ready Stand and never yield. Through the hills surrounding Let this war cry sounding Summon all to Cambria's call The mighty force surrounding. Men of Harlech onto glory This shall ever be your story Keep this fighting words before ye Cambria (Welshmen never) will not yield.

Ni chaiff gelyn ladd ac ymlid Harlech! Harlech! cwyd i'w herlid Y mae Rhoddwr mawr ein Rhyddid Yn rhoi nerth i ni. Wele Gymru a'i byddinoedd Yn ymdywallt o'r mynyddoedd! Rhuthrant fel rhaeadrau dyfroedd, Llamant fel y lli! Llwyddiant i'n marchogion Rwystro gledd yr estron! Gwybod yn ei galon gaiff, Fel bratha cleddyf Brython; Y cledd yn erbyn cledd a chwery, Dur yn erbyn dur a dery, Wele faner Gwalia'i fyny, Rhyddid aiff â hi!
