Hi Tea
sweet dreams DR
hello tea! you're up late?
Stid he will have such a great time the East Coast is fabulous -lots to see- Sydney is so great, I love Sydney also Queensland is wonderful(we just got back from 2 weeks in Noosa)
Night DR
I am - oh well!
I wanna go to Australia!!!
hello and flip! :)
In fact all of Aus is fantastic
well, the one place on the itinerary that is set is snorkeling on the great barrier reef... he is very very excited about that.
OH good news with lucius. Our friends saw him in the store and they wanted to take him home.
who is lucius?
Lucius is our black fuz beast
Who is Lucius (your child?)
Lucius is herin's new black boy kitty
May as well be. Lucius and Pandora are my kitty
oops OUR kitties
LOL did you lose him? (and someone found him in a shop?)
oh! that is good, but why are you getting rid of him?
herin, does your bf have a name?
are you getting rid of the bf?
No we didn't loose him nor are we getting rid of him. He was at Pets For home a shelter that has a ''pet store''. All the kitties and puppies are shelter pets
Yes Jill He is named B.
no, stid, not getting rid -- adopted the little bugger but others had also wanted him
we are not getting rid of the b.f
Clues are up
LOL herin!!!
I am very pleased you are keeping him! *relieved mama look* though I joke about my goofs and galoots, I wouldn't give them up either. (usually)
Goody, Lickety!!!
YAY lickety-the-all-powerful
thanks lickety!
hi all :)
hey all
lol herin im glad! My daughter in Broome is a carer for SAFE dogs which are rescue dogs-she care for them till they get a home
Ok the story goes our friends R and Co went to the pet store as its near their house. They all jumped up and down and went ''oh he is so cute we can't have him''. They are delighted he went to us
BOSTON!!!!! longtimenosee! you well? staying warm, I hope?
Hi Boston.

KAZZZZ
i KNEW i could do it....fog and all....thanks jillibus, for being welcoming...

hi jilli
I'd like to have kids one day, but lord help me if I get holier-than-thou and lose my sense of humor, you know?
I think those that do that to animals should be shaved and stuck out in the hot sun in honey so ants bite them
YEs Boston. I ahve the fur brats. OH I have added 2 pretty Fur brat pics
kaz?
wonderful idea, herin!!!
Hi jilli and stid
boston... if you do have kids, don't worry. they will cut you down to size in a hurry! LOL
yes MLF?
Herin, in Broome there is an element of the population that does not care for their animals and this happens all the time
ch6
I'm so flattered you guys remember me. I'm just finishing up my Master's degree in English Lit... took a break from Babble but I couldn't stay away!!
kaz that was a Ti you called right? is it a common word?
There was a lady called Cordilias Rescue in NSW she had to close
stid - we got our first report card on Friday
we have horrible puppy mills and almost no penalties -- honey and ants would be great
not common but not too weird
(((bostonmermaid))) good for you!
Boston Babble is English right thus Good Research
welcome back, boston!
ooooh. and????
(that was for the report card)
There are so many deserted animals it's unbelievable-I admire these people that do this
okay thanks kaz still looking....
all meets or exceeds standards, like we expected anything less

PHANTOM pecan
my phantom is nuptual

stid, did some wiiing at a bridge pal's the other day -- it just might pry me away from babbling for a bit

hello rlee!

stid, cold, icy, thin snow layer here
what did u play jilli?
hi dee hi
hello stid, i just snuck in a few minutes ago as was getting to hot outside
hi volley
hey dee
brrrrr. it's dropping temp fast here, just below 0 now
Hi Rell
opps Rlee
Hi Dee
hugs jili; hi dart, hug...
hi mag
kaz, just a bit of the basics -- tennis, golf, bowling (I've always been terrible at that)
i love wii bowling!
herin is it really hot over your side today ?
um
stid-Where are you? I thought you were in aus
hi rlee!
I have no idea
i think stid "moves around" a lot ;)
no sandy, pac nw, decided to be australian for the day in your honor
I ahve been par taking in bludging on the couch all day
I have a very rich fantasy life (as tea just noted)
TH 6
LOL but stid where the hell is pac nw?
bludging?
stid is in the Pacific northwest of the USA
They temp says 23 C at Morabine
she's in the states, sandy
oh, sorry, the pacific northwest of north america: Washington state for me, jill is in British columbia
Bludging the act and art of doing nothing
I am sooo naive!!
and Jill and our family visit back and forth across the border (also hetty and a few other babblers)
I am learning so many new words today
hi, jilli, just to be clear - is the icon theme any spice - or Chinese spices?
i like the Wii fit stuff more than the Wii sports...i love the ski jumping lol, and i got through the ski slalom today without missing a gate
that's okay sandy -- I should be more clear in my profile when I go nation-hopping
39degrees celcius here yesterday
when it comes to bludging, I am a fine artist
the icon theme is Spice, melon -- but it's also Australia Day
my son laughs his butt off at me..of course he makes everything look easy
If we took your temps and our temps, sandy... we would all be "just right"
hi, herinfer, I shally add blucging to my vocab - what a word - to say nothing of a quality to which I aspire. . .
grrr keep typing sexier better get me mind above the bellybutton...LOL
hey melon!
LOL grannie!
ohhh - choices ;)
Yucky Sandy. Boston there is a skill to it. It involves waiting until the other half gets up to go to the loo/have a smoke/ go to kitchen then you ask for a drink or food
Hi Melon.
Well, I've just gone Australian, and I'm entitled -- grandparents were Aussies
bludging= having the time to waste even if there are things you should be doing forget them and veg out....
Hi all - just found a funny ye5/22
yup, mastered that technique years ago... what else?
tom just went out... apparently I missed that he set the new telescope outside a while ago... he says it's clear!
AND if you are really good at bludging you can put off your own toilet visitations for a long as possible.
OH go have a look at shiny stars Stid
hm. ye 5 *thinking* thanks birdee?
pies
city
oops dorry
soory
This Flick account thing with the photos- is it very difficult to do?
sorry, third time lucky

hi stid ;) sorry I missed you this 1st time.
go jill go!
chog! that's a new one too me, too.
jilli im beating you i have 10
I'm see slopy
Oh yes. Pandora is a fatty. Its just they way she is. She wasn't feed right as a kitten so now it has stuffed her matabilism. She gets Eagle Pack cat food. Recommended amount. No snacks in the day unless she has been really good (like walking on harness, bath, not attacking Lucius)
heyyyyyy, i got a yt6 on my own. *puffs out chest*
I love Pandora -- such a catrachter
thanks for that one joshua...
Jilli- where is Salt Spring Island ?
A what Jill
aha! got lower LH T

sandy, it's an island between Vancouver BC and Vancouver Island
yt6

it looks gorgeous
it is, sandy, and full of great people (well, not very full at all)
SSI is absolutely lovely, sandy -- when you come to visit, let us know and we will show you around the Puget Sound down here, too!
I presume you have snow there?
I would sooo like to meet some of you.
rarely, sandy, but a bit just now, which will be gone soon
we don't... we are at the southern end of the sound. but apparently further north they have a dusting
One thing for sure- there's no snow here!!
irk I am not a snow friend
Herin, Are you doing anything for Australia Day?
Yes. Bludging Sandy
lol we have decided to do just that too-
herin, when I loved in the Montreal area I learned to love skiing and the necessary snow -- if you can't beat it, join it
True. Jill
Lived (and loved) in the Montreal area...
hi sandyloo, my daughter isme is Sandra Louise so
Jilli did you have romantic time in Montreal?

never could finish my game with dc... grrr

spellbound at spogg.com has been more fun lately; more competitive players .... the other word game at face book
Will someone give a clue for the 8 -- perhaps a definition?
happy australia day and hello :)
hiya mrp:)
hello mr pres, same to you and are you enjoying the new house
tickets you don't pay a lot for
howdy mrp hope your are cooler today
8= birds or tightwads
hi dart :) hi sandy! :) loving the new house thanks!
ch 8/55 - new word to me - miserly people?
hi mrp
hi dee :) Is a lovely temp today... overcast again, but cool
darn - I tried that, and it didn't take ... oh well, try again
can someone clue me on either al's?
good to hear
sounds like your weather will be warming up soon...but they are dropping like flies today in tennis
I saw that dart... it is 40+ (108) down there
ex6
it is going to be like that for 3 days! I feel sorry for them having to play in that temp
dart do you mean the weather here in aus because it is definitely horrible and hot
39 celcius here in perth yesterday
ty hug
sounded like the had 80's f today and were expecting near 100 for the next few days
that is too hot for that kind of exertion
and it is going to be raining tonight, then extreme heat for next 3 days
I agree it is way too hot!
are the finals this coming weekend?
sandy, we had 43 C on Saturday! It was obscene!
yes dart
off to bed, goodnight all, be back in the morning
night flosey :)
shoot...i'll miss them th4
just got back -- are you talking tennis? I've been wondering how they can play in all that heat. I think that's why I never liked tennis at school in Shanghai -- preferred swimming and diving :)
gn flosey
night flosey
yes jilli too hot
hey jilli, it certainly is stifling heat for a summer sport... I don't know why it is a summer sport come to think of it?
Well, I guess when Henry VIII started it in England it was a bit more temperate in clime
you'd have to shovel 2 feet of snow off of the courts to play here right now
-22 c now
ae 6
made it through the c's ... does happy dance
ick dart!
ok, my last BT is that effing eff in the bottom right corner...
go ruru go
-22C? Ugh!
5 days left until the cruise....counting down the time :)
oh dart that's so great
where does the cruise go,dart?
4 days left to start thinking about packing lol
bad boy, dart -- pack now!
western carib. .....music cruise....20 diferent bands/acts
then unpack half later and travel light
oh yum dart, I'll stowaway
al 7 and al 6
at least 1/4 of them from canada i think
ae6 and thanks Dee
snow escapers, eh dart!
yw & ty hug
could you clue those dee?
you got that right, eh
can someone help with the effing eff?
think of a treatment you might get at a spa and change the 2nd letter
the al 6 looks like a female's name from the TV soap The Doctors ... al + beginning of where you go to see a flic or see an opera
one rhymes with special jilli
al 7 looks like an alt spelling
al....or a female sportsperson al6 gibson
ty ruru -- NBT 4 me :)
thanks dee got them both
and ty dee for the al
wtg!
dart, I don't do spas
think ruru and i clued the same one
you might do this at home with honey and oatmeal jilli
eat, west?
lol
no what you might get at a spa
I think I got the fe version, west, lol
good lol
ch 6 x 3
one of the others ends like a dance in hawaii
of course my mind works otherwise and I think of addaing a vowel to something much less pleasant.
sorry ch 6 x 4 my apologies
almost clued it that way lol
gotcha, dart, ty
I have one ch6 gg dee
:) 2 look same, just change one consonant in the middle
ty dee
yw
prix isn't allowed? Never heard of grand prix? Bah.
ty Dee
yw hug... tried that one several times jili
hy 6 (and 5) laughing animal
I think this grid is confusing...
hy6 a laugher? Doesn't work for me.
I think you're right, dee
monkey jili... extra vowels in the 6
do you have all the 7's Dee?
got it, dee, ty
still missing one hug
yw jili
hi everyone
ty from me too dee
ok, me too
hi andree
yw west
oh ain't it a pity she's only one ti5/14 to bang against the drum...
hi andree
just had to clean out the freezer and throw everything out, someone left the door open
jilli is a poet :)
oh ouch andree
Oh jilli, I haven't heard that since I left UK
jilli remembers old wicked army songs or whatever
glad you'veheard it, christine, lol!
well, I'm going to head to bed... g'nite all
nite hug
night hugs :)
nite hug cya tomorrow
bye hugs
think a little tennis watching th4 bed for me too...nite all
nite dart
I'm going too good night dart and hugs
night dart -- remember to pack
bye west and dart
nite west jilli volley
i will jilli..when i figure out what lol byeeeee
any clues to the 8 yet
ch 8... people who are extremely frugal (to a fault)
well, still can't figure out the spa treatment with honey and oatmeal - did get the sportscaster - wasn't she a tennis star or a runner or somesuch?
little chickens could be called this
ch 8/ 55, an extension of the ch5/16
ths demi, on hunt for 5 now
demi and ruru - are you answering me?
yw andree
sound more like a treatment for the rear end not your face chris
christine think of something you would that is relaxing that you would have done if you went to the beauticians and change the second letter.
and is it an AL word??
sorry thought you meant fe word
sorry christine. you lost me ... what are you looking for?
I am totally confused.... fireworks here
congrats, dee!
Someone mentioned oatmeal and honey, spa treatments, I think I'm lost, and I'm not too fond of this grid.
ty so much!... let me know what you need chris & I'll try to clarify
ya dee
ty andree
the were clueing the fe6
Is there an al6 word (not Gibson) that pertains to a spa treatment
christine, the spa thing is an fe word which you might have preferred to be an fa word
two fe 6's 1st is fe 6/30... when you are trying to get rid of dead skin or pimples you put a mask on ... this 1st fe just changes the 1st vowel of that word
there now, is that totaly confusing?
the al 6 is a ladies name al + the 1st 4 letters of the building you go to see an opera
Thank you. I'll work with that, then I'm off to get a cuppa, and read my book
can you clue the 2nd fe please dee
yw hope that all helps
is the x used dee
2nd fe 6 was the same at first, then ends like the Hawaiian dance.
the x is part of a word (maybe more)
fe 6/33 1st 3 letters same as previous word; ends with the 1st part of the hoop we used to play with around our waists as kids ... sorry bad lag here
ra 7 clue please
there are 2 ex words ....
I'm not finding this grid friendly
ra 7/44.... loud behavior or laughter... let me check def

I live in an apartment building. The residents above me are very enthusiastic during the night.
interesting essay today BR
LOL - yes, have an "enthusiastic" landlord upstairs on occasion... thus keep earphones nearby
Hi
g'day
hi herin
I am watching firefly
an insect or a show?
There is a really simple way to deter loud neighbours
Show
swap
oops - sorry
Do you want to know the secret of getting noisy names to shut up
what
Get an adult dvd put it on loop turn it up loud and leave the house for the day
LOL - nope... not my style... but funny
Thought about it myself. That or really odd music that you like like um Scottish Bagpipes
LOL
now scottish bagpipes during the event could be fun
that could kill the mood
One of my neighbours had a habit of playing Aussie Bogan rock and I used to put on the bagpipes vinyl my gran left me
yeah, like dying cats would too :P
HI Ata
LOL GM ata
I have 2 new flickr pics too
and hi :) this grid is hell!
yep, just started (at 69 now) but these are not exactly flying off the fingers
I'm on 68!
That is why im eating mango sorbet and poking the grid whilst watching Firefly
which episode?
mmm mango sorbet sounds lovely
what is firefly
Good evening all
First one.
KJE very good show by Josh Wedon (or is that weldon help)
it's a fab fab sci-fi series
aaahh - not a sci fan fan usually
ATA did you know there is a new series by Josh called Doll house. What happens when you get people and send them on ''assignments'' then wipe their memory
firefly you could love even if you hate sci-fi
and hi Lynx! hi Stew!
ok, will check it out...brit show?
oh cool, that sounds good
hi lynxx
american
sci-fi channel show originally. and just utterly funny and clever and good
will see if it is on netflix
OH and stupid fact Jewel was in Higher Ground so was Hayden.
phantom: turnip yuk
Ata they screened it out of order
yuck is right lynxxx... not a fan
I know. They screened it right over here though!
OH the Doc was in this one season show called Ryan Caulfield Year one he was a cop.
yuck times three
OK, midway, am going to try to catch a little more zzzz
bbl
yay, got the 8
Do you know of the tv series American Gothic?
oh wait... clue for 8?
go go lynx!
Night Kje
no herin
yep
ch8 got them on sale
TY! silly word!
cool! TY lynxx... can sleep better now : )
poof
That was screen out of order too. It was so out of order that the director couldn't remember which episode was 6 or 7. I got it on dvd but was lucky to have the original listing.
Hi lynxx too
****** ****** bang bang is sillier
agreed!
how's stewart today, lynx?
Ata how is you?
He's OK. He's gone back to being a bit fearful over the last few days, a bit clingy too. Not sure if it was his 'incident' or perhaps his eye, which I think he injured as he had a swelling on the iris. Its gone down but keeping an eye on it (so to speak) - Vet said to give it 3 days
Good morning
hello all - time I stopped lurking... *giggle*
OH what happened to poor Stewart
hi Merk & Liz
Hi Liiiiiz
poor boy!
hi Lurky Liz!
Herin! ATTTTTAAA!
LOL
Ata - I had an awful email this morning warning me about dog ball toys that have only one hole in them...
*thinks* have we got any one hole ball toys?
like those Kongs? what's wrong
Apparently a labrador playing with one got his tongue sucked into it when a vacuum was created and ended up having to have his tongue amputated
kongs have 2 holes
oh NO!!! poor baby!!
No, Lynxxx, Kongs have a hole at both ends
Noooooo!
oh poor dog.
This particular one was made by a company called Four Paws
Kongs also know have dog food in a tube too for inside of kong
Be warned!
I'll check all Hobbit's toys. She has loads of toys, but never plays with them!
Lynxx what happened to Stewart?
Oscar had a ball like that but I have a feeling he's lost it somewhere. But I'm definitely checking when I get home. The email had photos - horrible
Same here - except the lamb toy
hobbit's favourite is a squeaky stick. she likes that, and her kong, and all other toys are shoved under a chair
Infernal, the eye injury os probably from shoving his head into bushes which he does all the time. The other 'incident' he took one of those 'fences' they have around tables on footpaths for a bit of a run. Luckily no obvious damage to either him or cars
Oscar's favourite dog toy is a ropey thing but he really prefers pinching the kids toys to be honest - Sams footballs dont stand a chance
liz, did you hear about Stew's little escapade? It might even outrank Oscar
OH dear silly dog
Ouch Lynxxx!
Why Ata? Did he throw himself off a cliff???
no - just the fence thing. Lynx tied him to the fence, but he dashed off with the fence still attached to him
oops, yes, like she said!
OMG! Maybe he's distantly related....
I tied Oscar to a metal cafe chair that was padlocked to 4 other chairs yesterday and he managed to drag them halfway up the road
lol Liz
oh dear ...... LOL
He just wanted his mummy!! :))
I can laugh!
OH fur brat climbed up to the top of the window
I was waiting to turn into a tiny road earlier - the roads from home to the best woods are tiny - they can hardly fit a car down them, and I was waiting for a car to come past in the other direction - and there was a pheasant in the fields a few metres away. omg. I thought Hobbit was going to bash her way through the window!
I bet Oscar is the most infamous dog on Sark
LOL Ata, I'm just glad I dont have to deal with cars here
omgomgomgomgomgogm muuuuuum pheasant want mumumumumum
LOL Herin
no cars on Sark?
Os and cars is a scary thought
Tell me about it!!! He's dangerous enough with bicycles and horses
Lucius just climbed up to the top of the window using the fly screen tonight. I have a pic of it to
No Lynxxx, no cars
how wonderful
it is - except when its raining lol
poor liz
Hobbit would love just being able to boing around
LIz seen any bicycle pigeons lately
oooo apparently I can fly to Jersey from Kent International airport!! Did you know there was a Kent International airport LOL
no
Ata why am I getting horridly expensive Steampunk Ideas from Firefly?
looooooool
Oh I did buy a set of 6 steamy journals
This is what i got: http://tinyurl.com/dgx2dc
ooo lovely
It is pretty
I still need a corset my friends 34 inch waist is too big
learn how to make them!
:( someone took my good pattern and i cant sew to save myself.
G'd morning Babblers! How's this grid score on the poop-O-meter?
one of my friends makes custom-made corset patterns
1,267,876 on the poopometer
That's not good.....
nice Ata
http://tinyurl.com/dcrm3b she is fab, does corsets and steampunk stuff
At least it wasn't 1,267,877!
maybe 1267876.5 :)
is sexpay what prostitues earn?
odd to come in on steampunk (what is that when it;s home?) and corsets.
Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date.
so people create steam-driven computers, everything we have and could have but steam driven
thank you so much ata for the great definition. Never heard of it before. Just found out about fanfic a little while ago, which is one of the funniest, but also neat ideas.
G'd morning Eva
http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/s teampunk.htm that explains it and shows pictures! much better definition that I could do
morning lori.
So do people play this out in real life, hence the corsets?
yes, people make the most *amazing* costumes
I'm so glad not to live in a corset era!
I am trying to find a really awesome site
type in steampunk costumes into google images and have a look!
I love corsets, I've always thought they were beautiful.
http://www.sillof.com/ this is awesome fun
I have too, though I think I'd soon change my mind if I *had* to wear themm
I drool at the wonderful steam punk laptop
I think you would Ata. Women had pretty severe physical damage from wearing them.
I love wearing my friends corset
I love wearing mine, but I love taking it off too!
Do you do the life raft thing? the whole aghhhh expansion good
ummm
I cant find this one site I need. grrr

hi bfsog
Hi bfsog
hi bfs
hello bfsog
i am getting a new car this week o 0
fantom recital
Woooohoooo, what are you getting? And how bad will the monthly payments be?
scrabbs dosent say hello to crossy,so crossy starts stalking the bunnies.....
hi Krista
COngrats bfsog. I am hopefully getting rid of my house this week. LOL.
Hi cwossy, my be-wuved fwend in Onta-weeoo.
hi krista
indeed Krista
its a citroen c5 and $235 per month, USD
Hello to anyone that I failed to greet thus far.
Enjoy it, bfsog!
enjoy your new car, bfs
i shall, my current one is a rust bucket. i need to represent myself better!
Getting a new car is exciting except for the cost.
yeah i know, but what doesnt cost these days
In a lifetime we spend more on cars then our houses, for most people.
ha well not previously, but this car is in perfect condition so i will be treating it like the holy grail
begging................please a clue for n word left top of grid???????that n has a zero still.........cant get a thing.....................
I think thats true scrabbler, for most. I am so tickled that I own my car, and because it sat in Garage for 2 years while I paid on it, its in good shape. But if I could get a new car without payments, I would love one that wasnt so messy!
mkg, think wedding related for a 7. Food for a 5.
a new car without payments, now wouldn't that be nice
nu4 rhymes with what I'd like in my hair
I drive my cars into the ground and approach 200, 000 miles before I buy a new one. My father instilled that into me. I am at 92,000 and almost 4 yrs old.
i won a ford explorer once, but took the cash instead
gee i dont want anything in my hair.........what do you wnat in your hair?
People always are surprised, I own a 2003 model and I have about 69,000 miles on it.
Smart move I think Krista!
Smart, Krista
nu + don't post words in the babble ***t for a 5, latin plural for a 6
Because I live in rural area I drive about 24,000 miles/yr.
well my hair is straigth
it was such a blessing at the time..just got married, new house..no money!
ty. got t hose sprite. still dont know what i want in my hair.........jewels? crown?
Oooo, I need one more N word now.
The only reason I have so few miles is those 2 years of no driving...but I now drive about 60m a day on work days...
red I also have a 2003 with just over 60 thousand miles on it
as I said, mkg, my hair is straight
commuting will rack up the mileage in no time..and no fun to show for it
clue for t word from bottom left t plz?
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok.
got it. ty.
so my hair has curl so i dont want this and couldnt relate. ty. so cute.
to the pb mkg........
cu4 is in the grid--to the PB
mkg >>>>>>>off you go to the PB
and cu4 was the word I was avoiding
I found a 6 by myself! ac6
yay Scrabs
i
I have nu5,nu6,nu7 and nu4--what is the last N that I need?
Hi Angel
nu 6 ---it is a fur
Hi Angel
hi Angel
hello angel
i'm slowing down at 50...arggh
A fur?
first part sounds like it is related to feeding, food, Scrabbler
I am up to 47, whoop-dee-doo.
scrabbs, an animal that resembles a beaver
Aha, that did it, annie. TY
youre welcome
OK, I got to 52 and have to retrieve and sort laundry, make a lunch and dinner for work, then get ready for tennis. I work 1-8 then we have a business mtg. It will be a long day! Enjoy the day, friends.

Oh I must apologize Nanetter, I was not avoiding you, I had to go take a shower and didnt think I needed to inform!

ul5?
ra7 rhymes with a pa7 (not in grid) that means a lack of
there's a un7 also hursh
ul5 - like ultimate?
it's hard to defend this year, we have had more snow and cold than i remember in a long time
ti7 is from lower left and is not a commonly used word, but one you might have heard from time to time
ul5 - extremely

hy5 and nu6 in one grid . . . eeewww!
can someone clue the ti7 that doesn't come from the bottom left T - thx
sorry, don't have it
ti7 is having a title
TY Annie1
that's the one from the bottom T
chris...think of bosoms
;-)
what's the eeewwww? I don't have either one. I seem to be struggling a bit today.
i've got a bosomy 5 -- is there also a 7??
sorry not helping annie
gramma, hy5 scavenging animal
ty
no, une
nu6 ratlike animal in Louisiana bayous
ooohhh, chris and I thought there was a second ti7
the bosomy word is ti 5
someone earlier said there were 2 ti7s and I only have 1
yeah, already had that one
there are 2 ti 5's and one ti7
chris, so far I have ti 5 5 7
that's it, Une
TY I thought that word had something to do with proper diet.
tx
so i have un7, ti7, ra7, nu7 & ch7 - what am I missing??
al7
ty josh - will look for that
the nu6 animal is also known as a coypu
al 7 is the first name of famous tennis star..Miss Gibson
wrong clue, that was al 6
al7 is an alternate spelling of al6
Miss Gibson, with a latin plural ending :-)
sooo un7 ti7 nu7 ch7 and al7 . . . missing?
Une, who is that adorable child in your icon?
TY Une!
annie, that sourpuss is my paternal grandmother!
ra7 une
i've been scanning old family pix
tx, mm, have that one . . . sorry
Une, she is as cute as a button
ok, got 'em all!
I must be off, see you all later...20 left
LOL!

is it related to al6?
yes hurshy, add another vowel in the middle
thanks pab
yw
lovely ship you've got there :)
I just got the 8...I feel robbed.
it is weird how deeply the sight of the enterprise stirs my heart.
well, i must away for a bit, bbl
I know what you mean hurshy
is only a 169 grid?
Yes Fer.
cool
just need help with the last one then
ra 7
I don't have it yet Fer.
ra7 - get to a large urban area like Paris or Rome by means of a vowel.
thanks Haz,,,,that was the last one....
You're welcome, and congratulations!
Good Morning Haz1558
:|
la
Good morning Christa!
May I have a clue for any n word from the corner, please?
Use the 4 corner squares
I truly wish my internet would speed up so that I can babble again...it's been ages since it was fast enough!
ty, PMS (first time I've ever said that!)
hey there stranger!
Hello Uniquity! Bad internet, that's all I say.
nu7/36 - relating to marriage/weddings
I just got the NU 6/21; we need to get plenty of NU***ents every day + first vowel
nuptial
ARRRGGGHH sorry
and thank you dang haven't done that in ages
Thanks :)
nu6 - 5/16 - nu plus first letters of British heir, then latin plural for nu6/27
How are you doing, Uni?
anytime, lol
I want tu4ip to be in here! And tulip..
ty again, Haz..great clues
You're welcome, Krista.
I'm well, Haz. Off to school shortly and scratched by the cat, but babbling, so happy :) Yourseld?
I'm very well, thanks. I've been predicting the arrival of spring for days but nobody seems to take any notice.
You've chosen a challenging type of grid to come back on.
phantom: catapult
Ah, Spring. Hard to have faith when it is -21C out...before windchill
I know. But it will come, honestly. Just not tomorrow.
I've been trying to come back for weeks, but my internet says no. I can only get a word accepted every once in a while, so I always give up.
That's a shame. Your rankings must be rubbish by now, I'm surprised I'm talking to you at all. Your mother was on top not that long ago. The smugness could be felt from here.
LoriP? Smug? Never..
I don't know, when she finds words beginning with yt, she's deservedly smug.
Are you saying there are words beginning with yt in here...
I'm saying that, indeed. But nobody else knows that I told you so you can be smug as well.
yt6 and yt6.
I can't remember the word I was supposed to remember to enter...having babble say "Word couldn't be added" repeatedly is exhausting!
You mean a word that flitted through your head but didn't stay long enough to register properly?
Or are you getting red messages?
No, it went from head to fingertips to keyboard to babble, but the iNet went too slow for babble to get it. Or something like that. I have to enter each word 3 or 4 times for it get to my word list.
Red Messages:(
That must be ul5/12 frustrating!
can i please have aclue for nu6/27?
nu6/27 - if you have nu5/16, add a vowel to the end.
thanks
You're welcome, Madi.
hello all
clue for the 8 pls
good morning - NBT, finally, so now I can say a friendly hello - HELLO!
Hello peri, it builds on an inexpensive word ch5/16.
Hello Trif.
hi Trif
oooh, flosey, nice icon! I made some fried rice with ginger last week. yummy!
thanks Haz, that also gave me one of the 7's
could I please have a clue for ha6?
hello all, just checking emails before I head out.
good morning Stid
You're welcome, peri.
morning stid!
I Love Ginger
how's your throat this morning
me too!
fried rice with ginger sounds delish
ha6 - it ends in a facial twitch, flosey.
it feels better, as does the rest of me. Still obviously not normal, but functional today. thanks.
mmmmm. ginger....
thanks Haz, have never seen that one before
down to 70, time to list
how far should i push myself before going to the list?
40 left now
good to hear stid, take care
No, it's a new one to me, too.
need some recipes for ginger. Have some in the fridge
actually peri, it was slightly overwhelming - should have maybe just fried the ginger in the oil and then removed the actual slices. i left them in there, which was a bit much
I like making ginger tea, and ginger-tofu stir fry is yummy
peri, did you get KJE's recipe for ginger cookies - they
they've become my most favourite
no I didn't, flosey, but I have nrkii's recipe for pumpkin muffins
i think I would like to try candying ginger, but it takes forever
(not using fresh ginger though, which is what you're asking)
I would like the recipe for the ginger cookies tho
using fresh ginger, but I do have powdered ginger as well
ok, I'll put it into my bio
thanks flosey
AE?????
can you e-mail it to me, flosey?
no, I'll email it to you, as I have it as a doc.
ok, thanks, wonder if I could make gingerbread with the same recipe
you could do mongolian beef
flosey, i would like that recipe too, if you are sharing
ae5 - ae plus American Secret Service initials. The 6 makes into a Mr Gore ending.
my email is in my bio
Afternoon all. How goes it?
thanks haz, I always miss that one
hey lizmax!
Hello lizmac - are you wet and drippy today?weatherwise, naturally.
oops. lizmaC....
You're welcome, stid.
lots of weird words today!
AC 6 please?
I am missing 2 of the 7's. I have al, ch, ti, un.
and a shove for the AL 7 also please
ac6 - not imaginary
I BEG your pardon , Haz, I am NEVER wet and drippy. Yes, it's drizzling here too.
al7 is alternate spelling of the al6
ac6 - the sort of *poof* that Montreal announces when he really, really is going.
ah thanks joshua...
al6 is a woman's name
too late :(
I am sure I missed it because of my persistant (and highly vivid) fantasy life...
I thought so, liz. It's a pain, isn't it?
got the As thanks!
I wanted to make nrkii's pumpkin choc chip muffins, but alas do not have any canned pumpkin. Was out already today and do not want to go out in the cold again.
Certainly is, I've been virtually hibernating since before Christmas, can't wait for "Spring"
Hi Babblers ! Fun grid today?
I may make blondies instead. Choc chip cookies but in a pan.
no Aloy, having trouble with it
oh, amen to THAT liz! the driveway has been an ice rink for weeks now. just three warm days would make such a huge difference
((((aloyisius)))) really hoping you're in florida today.... it's cold up north!
I made the mistake of announcing spring when I glimpsed the sun for a morning. I'm not very good with predicting weather.
can someone clue the ex 6?
ci 6 pleasE?
Hello Aloy! I wouldn't call it a fun grid, no.
ex5 + vowel
add a vowel to ex 5
ex6 -adds a vowel to the end of the precise ex5
I am in Florida, stid... but we had a nasty frost on the 22nd and it is "ugly" time around here for sure.. the cold blitzed so much..
ci6 odd sort of adj for oranges lemons etc
hello hurshy!
ci6/21 - looks like a lemony beginning and a Mr Gore ending
Peri - 16 words to go, I'll email it to you after I finish the puzzle
thank you...I didn't know thqat word
no hurry, flosey, thanks
go flosey go!
hello
thanks again haz
please may I have it too, flosey?
down to 42...
i have mucho trouble with the P's
Hello hurshy
they are 1/4 of my remaining words
You're welcome, stid.
and why doesn't prix count :(
as in grand prix?
i tried that too, hurshy!
second FE 6 please?
fe + the back end of the famous vampire
thanks tri!
I need the first fe, please?
de rien, stid
great clue Tri! lol
fe+ the back end of a treat at elizabeth arden
fe6 - iron vampire
why, thank you nelleon! (blush)
last H is hte HA 6 please?
thanks Trif, will have to work on that
73 left, bbl
got it, thanks Trif
ha6/27 - reach a facial twitch by means of a vegetable sounding letter
bye peri!
bye peri, probably see you tomorrow.
okay, thanks haz *thinking*
got it. meaning awareness of how your body is relating to thing objects around it. especially when in motion... (for effect, said as stumbling over the hassock, the toys, and the dog)
nu's are hard, too
As if any of us would ever do such things, stid. We're all poetry in motion.
I have all but the last NU, do you want help?
the NE 6 also has me stumped.
I am gonna go "add value" - be back later to finish, hopefully. have a peaceful day, friends
sure stid.
The ne6 isn't a very unusual word, stid.
later tri
I figured haz... but have to leave in about three minutes. fish me?
Drink of the gods?
first nu 5 is NU + *** *** *** (latin dance); latin plural for the 6
NU 7 is the marriage ceremony, usually seen in plural, this is singular
ne6 - libation of the gods
oh, at least it was a tasty fish!
thank you!
Yes, no choking over that one.
the NU 4 is n + the "web address" you type to get to a website
and I don't have the last one yet
nu6 - run together what a squirrel would eat and what a Spaniard would call a female river
but I am heading out... have a first grader to read with. back later... (29 to go)
ah, thanks again Haz!
Bye stid.
*poof*
later, stid.. hagd
too bad biggie smalls isn't in the grid
I should brave the drippy mist and exercise Spangle. On the bright side, it isn't actually raining. Bye for now!
bye, Haz.. scratch Spangle for me..
Bye Aloy, will do.
could someone tell me the stats for the lone T?
don't have it yet, sorry harp
ti7/32, what pauly shore would say while looking at a playboy centerfold
uh, who is pauly shore, josh?
15-minutes of fame guy from the late 80's, silly actor
ok, thanks.. will hunt.. have an idea of what it starts with, (-:
i don't know how but I got it from that clue!

Morning, all. Wow. Big lag in the refresh/update/chog today. Grid needs some Red Bull!
HEY ALL
ooh, just found the two versions of the howling desert animal
oops caps - that is what you get from switching from work to babble
lol, hi bfsog..
... and hi to Judi too
24 left and i'm yearning for the list
to the americans: a film called Eden Lake came out in UK last Monday on dvd - it was out in Cinema/Movies a while back. you shoud check it out
Never heard of it, bfsog. Is it an Indy film?
you have done really well, joshua.. i normally hit the list 3/4 of the way through
hm a little yes little no. its british, from the Producer of The Descent. It is pretty violent in places but it strikes a cord with me by showing an accurate portrayel of UK youths today
missing last ri6, any clues please
ahhh, some somewhat obscure colors in this grid
got it,
Interesting. I will look for it at Blockbuster or on our pay-per-view.
US probably has it too but in the UK yob culture, muggings/stabbings/generally crime is a problem - im not too old but i distance myself from younger people because they are a different breed, in my opinion
last ri6- repetitive, symbolic cultural acts
Sigh. Same here bfsog. I think there is at least one whole generation which seems to have grown up without any parental oversight whatsoever.
egads, am monkeying some weirdos
afternoon all...the clue for the ti7...pauly shore who ive never heard of... could i have the value pls?
I know, over here the news is filled with horrible stories which all have one common denominator - caused by teenagers. Not all are bad obviously but a lot are!

You heard about my potential job pssibility, right?
LOL okay, just as well though since I had some sort of virus...
*sigh* thanks again... *eating holy fish*
evening all, about to go to bed, just popping in to say icon theme is updated. And tomorrow is MonkeyG's birthday. And to hug stiddie.
no monkey! job? when? can I get a locan?
or loan?
Hi Sprite!!!!!
SPRITELY!!!!!
Back from fun fun times, i miss yesterdays grid...
(((((sprite))))) someday we'll be on at the same time, I hope!
hello red!
You can get a loan as soon as my bank account breaks water above 0. Or thereabouts like.
any clues for the dreaded YT's? the monkeys failed...
yt + three- piece band different last vowel
no. I need Yt's too.
me too stiddie!
then change the vowel for a consonant
ty stid!
oh, that will be a while... *goes back to tearing up books for firewood*
yt + ****l and error yt + ****k or treat
ha. Rs done
ty vm again
or sprite's much more elegant clue!
never thought to double that cons
bye all, have fun and see you tomorrow
Right, the job op. A friend works with this other guy... and he is almost certainly going to get a promotion very soon, like this week. If he gats it his job will be open. I can be the first to interview, even before anyone else knows there IS a job opening.
yours worked fine stid TY both of you
ty ty ty
later sprite, be well!
ooooh. that would be SOOOO using your network!!! :-D
If I got it I would be reading articles in Old Dutch by and about the resistence during WWII and generating a key words list for search engines. Here is where it would be: http://www.onderzoekinformatie.nl/en/o i/nod/organisatie/ORG1236212/#lopendpr j

It SURE is. If I told you how far below 0 the bank account is you'd faint.
intriguing, monkey -- do you like history enough?
no monkey, remember tom and I are so far paying for my college on credit cards...
i would, i do not do well with 0 balance
go mixi go! go red!!!! (faster faster)
Sure! I like ALL the sciences enough.
but it pokey and pokier
history isn't a science!
Can you lend me 2,800 Euros to get my account up to 0?
UL please?
aha! 1 more,,,
hello atalante!
go pugmama! *holding breath*
and hi again :)
Can be. But OK, this is documentation, but the DO research!
no, history is a humanity
history is a tale told by the victor
OK. Things are categorized a bit differently here.
absolutely BR
Morning all
FIVE!!!!
hey lynxxx!
That's true BabRab. But the aim of this place is simply to catalog and make accessible EVERYTHING that can be discovered about the war. Everything.
so history is studied in the Department of Science?
hello, lynxxx
80!!!!!!!!!!!
ul5 ul*** premium petrol
I guess it's not technically australia day any more is it?
no, just horribly hot day
aha! down to one...
This institute is a subsidiary of the Academy of Arts and Sciences. So it's an art or a science... given the recent long term study into the third-generation effects of prolonged hunger, I think it leans more in the science direction.
hot here too lynnx.... go stid!
firewords!!!!
*waits for pugmama*
it's on the art side
But actually here History is studied in the department of, well, History.
Hooray for Stid!!
can't get the sob...I give. TH5/14 clue3 please?
YAY STID!!!!
yaaaay stid!!!!!!!!!
thanks for the UL...

yahooo stidders!!!
congrats, stid .... hope you are feeling better

I am feeling MUCH better this morning, BR -- even managing to do some housework while I study!
woohoo for stid
TH5/14 clue3 please?
This would, anyway, be an unbelievable coup right out of school with a measly Middelbare Beroepsonderwijs degree.
th 5 --- add a pastry: **l*ir
go mixi! go!
ty vm & fireworks
My friend is their head accountant. They say they are even willing to work around school hours to minimize what I would have to shell out on daycare.
th 5 reminds me of greek... TH + p***n pie.... (nut pie)
YAY pugmama!!!!!
YAY PUG!!!!
go mixi....
glad there was no fishies
Congrats Pug!
congrats, pug
well that would be lovely, monkey -- especially since it's a solitary job, you don't have to deal with customers during working hours , right?
the grid is one big fish tank
I had a lot of fishes in this grid
6
I just meant none of the ones I asked for clues on were fish
go mixi go!!
Yes! After two years at that madhouse they called a residency position, that'd be GREAT! I still would prefer the art studio for brain damage victims but they very rarely have openings, and this one would be SOOOOO much better than everything I have applied for...
I think one day I would enjoy a solitary job...
LOL red... poor girl. you need a vacation.
Not to mention it is a civil service job, which means a secure pension plan in this time of recessive insecurity, and a simply obscene number of vacation days.
Poor red! But you're a HERO! You'll just have to live with that.
I really really do! I am actually trying to relax all day today and do nithing.
That takes PRACTICE. Trust me. Keep plugging away, you'll get it.
monkey, you need to update your profile. you are no longer a college student!!!!
have you walked the cranes today, redT?
5
well, I think I will bathe the dog, which is about a 2 hour project...
Read some really good ficytion-- that always helps.
No cranes, i ran into our favorite Ibis, in the parking lot.
You're right, Stid! I will do it Thursday when I actually have the thing in hand. The degree on paper, that is.
I will stay until mixi has firewords and then go finish the paper for Wednesday. WHY are one-page papers harder to write than 5 page?
Is it a Komondor, red?
you have an ibis??? *envious look*
No, wait, that took 6 hours... used to work as a groomer.
The reason stid is that you have to be more consise.
and yes there is an Ibis that strolls around the apartment parking area...
and the cranes.
were you or the ibis hurt in the collision?
hints for the F or the bottom Y?
Stid, I know where you're coming from. Write a long one and chop it until it sounds Downright Stupid. It's the only way.
No, we were lucky BR!
**looks for ibis in grid** nope
I have done that, too! I think I am just going to write drivel today.
hope you don't mind me being dutch for a while?
bottom Y two YT 6
and a Yi 5
It's a downright honor, Stid!
fec+ h*** dancer
Stiddy, why have you left the US again? We have a new Pres and everything...
the F is fa 5 like a jackal-type creature
sarjan, thanks very much and Hello!
what is icon theme today?
She wants me to make doughnuts.

I think it's spices, krista?
I do not know. Krista, I still have my red turtle head.
stuck on the h6's
yes, red. I have a weakness for doughnuts...
hy 6/27 is a jackal-like creature... laughs a lot
you should keep it; it's nice...i miss crabby...ty stid
thanks!
ha 6 means your awareness of your own body in space, relative to other objects as you move
I had a donut yesterday. But...joy of joy starting next week, I get to lose complete control of food and eat meals planned by nurtition nazi.
Walter says he will make me birthday cupcakes (with Daddy's help). Birthday's tomorrow but the cupcakes will happen on Saturday.
todays theme is spices
That's proprioception, Stid...
ha 6/27 -- add sight nerve: o****
oh, yum! you have the best kiddo in the world, monkey! (love the pic of him painting the chair)
My doctor finally agreed to send me to a dietician. After my irthday cupcakes it's all over...
hy 6 --- variant of the hy 5 -- add a vowel
hello everyone..can I have a clue for ch 5/22?
hy6. thanks I had missed the alternate spelling
Monkey, a good nutritionist will not forbid fun foods like cupcakes.
I lost 11 kilos and then it just stopped, no matter what I do. Still have 20 kilos to lose.
If they forbid any food, you need to find another.
why all over, monkey? are we going on a diet?
ch r is a plural
hi Annie
I want to lose that 20 as fast as is both safe and likely to keep it off. Then I can think about cupcakes again.
how many now mixi?
ch 5
I have been for a year...
while I was sick this last week I had really weird hunger -- none at all some days, famished others...
oh boy. my "unofficial" test scores are here from the test on the 10th. *nervous* back in a couple
ty 1 left.
YES!!!!!. I passed. I am SOOOO HAWT!!!!
Goooo Mixi!
I was really really worried.

Afternoon, all. Congrats, Stid!
Hi Judi!
hi Judi
just looked up the caramom drink...i'm going to try to make one..mmm
It is really yummy!
hi Judy
i almost used cardamom as my spice..always learning such fun things on the chog
ri6/21 please
ri6--ri+ oral or re**** thermometer
Sometimes if I'm feeling down, ungrounded, stressy... I open the cardamom jar and smell it. Instant mini-vacation.
(garam masala is such good stuff!)
Made lavendar cheesecake for Christmas dessert, too-- there's a lot to be said for aromatic.
Thanks pugmama
yw
Garam masala rocks. But so do Bengali Masala, Kashmiri Masala, and Hindustani Masala...
your own aromatherapy tx
garam masala is very important for my favourite favourite dish ever, a west indian style curry with halloumi cheese
Masala is a roasted chicken dish, right?
i think it just means spice
Long Pepper meanwhile smells like some sort of wildl animal that has been running for too long. But MAN does it bring flavors out! And let's not even get stareted on asa FOETIDa...
mmm...you people always make me hungry...what is the name of the dish, Ata?
Masala means a complex spice mix, like curry powder. Curry powder is a masala. So is Ras-el-hanout.
Mmmmmm, Ata... will be looking that up!
ummmm I just call it cheese curry lol, it's a recipe handed down from about 5 people to me via my mum and her friend and her friend
i like a jalfrezi
Ah. I have learned something new today.
Please send recipe to kmcoo@chello.nl I will send recipe from culture of your choice in return (plese limit to various asian and/or Ethiopian/Eritrean).
Or Mexican.
Or Dutch.
as much as we talk about food here, you'd think someone would have started a recipe group
hmmm...
back again for a few. ata, did you ever get those e words at the top? (or anyone else?) I have one ex5, but can't get the other two.
lol just thinking how long it would be if I typed it in here. not long, because it's all very vague
Were you here when I spent about half an hour telling Pinikula how to make Loempia?
this will make u laugh, Monkey...when i think of Dutch food, I think of toast with chocolate sprinkles because that's what our exchange student ate every day
ex5 + vowel.
ah, ty mixi!
I can handle very vague. I have a Palestinian step-grandmother who just says, "Some of this, less of that, more of this, fry until done..."
I wonder if someone can help me. It still says I need one "a" but according to the list I have all of them. Has anyone faced this problem?
Ahhhhh, hagelslag! Yes, they do NOT travel without it. Essential foodstuff, that.
the other is an ep5,14
why isn't capri a word?
ty again, mixi.
actually, yes, I'll just shove it in. This is the basics. Chop an onion and fry, add garlic to taste, chilli to taste. Add can of chopped tomato and a squirt of tomato puree. Chop up a pack of halloumi cheese into about 1" cubes. Add some frozen peas. Add a stick of cinnamon, 4 or 5 cloves, 7 or 8 black peppercorns into the tomato mix. Add halloumi and fry for a few minutes until the cheese is slightly browned and a bit squishy. That's the basic, I used add in mushrooms too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprinkles
I'm so bad at quantities with that recipe, I've just cooked it soooo many times that I just know what works!
check that all in you list, are in babble.
Freakin' yummm, Ata! Will be making that this week. Don't worry, I'm experienced enough to balance it out to our tastes.
if you like fragrant curries and halloumi, it's simply the best thing ever
So, it's basically fried cheese with miscellaneous bits thrown in, right, Ata?
Although for my husband's tastes you forgot the 35 extremely hot Nepali chilis...
bugger I forgot the garam masala! shove some in with the other spices!
Thanks mixi
You got it. I'd have notived... It'd also work with Panneer. Must make a batch...
LOL, Ata!
basically! but its the garam masala, cloves, cinnamon, pepper and you can add ginger too that give it real yumminess
Judi, most down-home food fits your description... But the proportions are key.
now I need to make some too
Add some cardamom to the boiling milk. Mmmmm!
copy/pasted that, ata..yum yum
tell me what you think, hope you like, it's been my fav food for years and years. mother's fav too
I want to take some ibuprofen, but the doctor said today I have been taking enough to perforate my intestines, so that's out. Who has lower back tips?
paracetamol?
hot water bottles
Yeah, it sometimes kind of takes the edge off... using a hot water bottle. Sigh. Must just get used to it. So says the orthopedist, anyway.
phantom: actuaries. darn, I was so excited....
I hate that, fuq!
Holey intestines, Bat Man! Heating pad. Back bends (bend backward from the waist about 20 times, 3 sets). Ice pack. Massage, accupuncture. Morphine. Okay. I'm out.
can you get TENS machines?
dang, must go back the grind. bbl
Acupuncture made it worse, MUCH to my surprise. Will try these bends! Tried TENS. May resort to opiates... but now that I think of it I'll go for something legal here but not where you folks are..... Massage sure would be nice though! Husband has bad whatever you call writer's crampo when it's not from writing, can't do it.
what is a good substitute cheese, Ata? i'm sure that will be hard/impossible to find here
hi guys hows everyone doing?
You can MAKE cheese! Make panneer!
lol monkey..the reason most Americans visit Amsterdam
Hi merlypoop!
Hi Merlypoop! Is your icon one of Nick Parks' creations?
That's the one. After the first ten years one begins to use it sensibly.
Have him use a tennis ball, Monkey. That way, he can keep his hand flat and the ball does all the work.
have you got WHole Foods nearby, Krista
Oh, GOOD idea!!!! I'll hit him up for that shortly! Wow! Sold!
not really..about 50 miles away
bye Judi..have a good day
Plus, his hand gets a massage at the same time. Bye, Krista!
but nice to know they carry it
Panneer is SO easy!
they've literally just started to carry it. but paneer, yep, any cheese that's fry-able without collapsing
I have finally broken 100 words. difficult grid this is.
If I type "pecan" one more time....ARRRRGH!
Wow, i am a first timer and have 38 words - is that good?
just read it's comparable to mozzarella..do u agree?
Rock on Tina! Just keep at it! You are doing great!
And Welcome to Babble!
still at 88 but i talk too much....yes, Tina...that is great for a grid like this
thanx
chey
kinda ... vaguely ... LOL :)
i'll take that as a no :)
hi TinaB xxx
halloumi is very salty, it's a sheep cheese
Teeeeeeeammm! Hi Ata :)
That is not THE debs63 is it?
Haloumi is GOOD!
LIIIZ! Just writing to you!
the very same!!! we have got 66. havent you got marking to do????
halloumi is the *best*
anything like feta ? (sorry to keep bugging about the cheese...just curious)
Did you hear the screaming then?? LOL I laughed...
Someone got me addicted!!
The cheese I am most looking for right now though is this one I had twoce in Duisberg, Germany, in beer cheese soup. Very sour, melted just right for the soup. Wish I knew what that was. Mighttry phoning a pub in Duisberg-- once I find a German speaker to back me up.
oh yes! *cringe*
oops!
LOL Krista, feta is probably your best comparison
Beer Cheese soup??? Sounds amazing
emmental is good in beer cheese soup
yeah...two great tastes in one
Beer cheese soup is spectacular.
ola
Yes, Emmenthaller (Dutch spelling) is a very good substitute for this German one.
Three tastes. Can't have beer cheese soup without the caramelized onions.
I've never even heard of beer cheese soup before
Hi Saddy! Long time no see!
oh its gooooood
tell you what Ata, make some and bring it over when you come :))
Well, you should have some, Liz!
how many places are there to stay on Sark? should we book somewhere like *now*? Is there a campsite?
busy with baby monkry
There are 2 campsites. Depends what time of year you'/re thinkg of really. Could you stay here? How would Hobbit cope with the cats and kids?
Of course! Been there myself-- he's four now, but he had sleep problems so it seems like yesterday.
this soup keeps sounding better and better :)
theres hotels and guest houses and self catering too
you must have enough to deal with without Os and Hobbit creating havoc constantly!
what a wonderful picture of the baby, SaddySolar
mone has sleep issues too
mine*
Oh dear. How old is she now?
2am: *thunder thunder thunder* 3am: *pouncepounce* WOOF!
Thanks.. shes older now
oh Saddy..I remember you..did you add the solar part to your name?
That'd be ok Ata (thinks evilly to herself) the spare bedroom is downstairs and Os sleeps downstairs. I'd be upstairs well away from it all LOL
looooool
Walter was up an average of 5 time, for a minimum of an hour, every night for 14 months.
Tell you what Ata - I'll post you a 2009 Sark info brochure so you can have a read and a look but bear our spare room in mind too.
ay4?
So long as you promise you arent an axe murderer of course LOL
ATA? You've never told her....
okey dokey! I don't think I'm an axe murderer. I can use a scalpel though and I have spaniel demon
Don't murder axes!
I have 6 daemons......5 cats and a dog....not sure what that makes me but Lyra would be bemused
LOL Monkey
husband keeps trying to get me to go camping, so maybe he'd like to go camping, and I could run to your house in the rain :D
there... uploaded a recent picture
you might have to refresh to see it though
A friend of mine (Fleur on facebook) did just that last year Ata - she booked a campsite for 6 nights and only slept there for one - spent the rest in my house coz her son discovered our wii
May I please have a clue for the AE 5?
um... ive always been saddysolar krista
Saddy thats a lovely photo
I ususally come at a different time.. about 9 hours later
loooool. that would be perfect. husband can stay out in the campsite cos he wants to camp, and Hobbit and I can come and stay in the warm!
hi car ae + central intel. agency
Hey Knitter! How goes the battle?
ay 4 -- add what a doc asks you to say with a stick in your mouth
guess i just remembered the name part :)....hi aknitter how are you?
Even better Simon could go camp with him and leave us in peace with the doglets LOL
each
Awwwwww! Saddy, if you want to e-mail me about sleep issues I'd be happy to share my experiences, I'm NOT one of these "it wokrked for me so it wil for you" types.... I got it under control when Walter was 14 months old an dhe's been sleeping for 12 hours straight sice. I also am nearly reacovered from those early days.
ack! Sorry! *Hangs head in shame*
i am battling! upright and alive, and you?
perfect!!!
Thank you very much - got it!
my kid is 14 and i am still dealing...i swear, i lost brain cells from insomnia with her..she didnt sleep through the night until age 3.5
Doing well! Zach is about to get off the bus from his first afternoon kindergarten day, so i am anxiously awaiting to see how it went for him!
did you get my message, aknitter?
aknitter!!!
mine goes to sleep all right
Krista, my Megan is 3 now and she often still gets up in the night - but I'm lazy I just get her in bed with me and go right back to sleep
afternoon kindergarten was a drag, they just wanted to get going in the a.m.
but wakes up a dozen times still all groggy and just needs to be cuddled
message krista?
With Zach's non-sleep issues, he is much better in the late morning/afternoons!
hi ata
Walter started life by having a crisis at 1 hour old and needing a week of intesive care after which the staff called him "that miracle baby, you know, the real fighter". THEN he had the sleep issues. Knocked me baclk at least 30 IQ points.
i sent you an email via Trifioso
He was up after 1 1/2 hours of sleep like clockwork, and hard to get back down.
lol i agree... my vocabulary has dwindles to coos and ga gas
I know Trif is collecting them to send along.
thats what we did, Liz, or we wouldn't have survived..whatever works!
Aknitter! Broken but still Babbling! What a trooper!
oh trif printed them all and snail mailed them. i have to wait for someone to go get the mail as i am not allowed out
Talking of IQ Monkey - my vet once told me that he reckoned a woman lost a quarter of her brain cells with every child she had - he was slightly confused when I pointed out the fact that his wife has 4 children....
Absolutely Krista :)
lol liz perhaps he lost brain cells
ah, that's nice...will be fun to get them I hope
LOLOLOL, Liz. I think I would have changed doctors at that point.
ROFL Liz!
Hee hee! But really, it would be like half-life-- you only lose a quarter of what's left.
i can not wait for the mail. i am very excited krista
Judi - I would have only he's the vet not the doctor!
Could that go on forever? Is it a new Xeno's Paradox?
LOL Monkey
ep 5 anyone please
Well, there go my brain cells. And I have no children to blame the loss on.
i need to run..nice visiting with you all
well I lost mine years ago - hence the reason I am doing so badly with this grid I think
ep 5 -- add a division of a play
bye Krista
ty BR got it
I hate this grid
I am not that concerned about a paradox ... can see lots more than two at the hospital
I'll be 40 tomorrow. Doesn't that give me both a fresh start AND an immediate elderliness sentence?
OK, University Challenge is atarting. Need something intellectual. Off with me!
Yes and yes, Monkey. Congratulations and condolences.
Happy Early Birthday Monkey!
Aaaaugh... must not poof yet! Judi! Danny tells me there is a new Zappa beer that is a very limited release and is out now. We are shockingly broke, but we'll go through the whole thing again for three bottles. Are you up for it?
I've had an idea for fundraising for you, Liz. Give me a few days to consider it and I'll tell you. Does that make me a heeeero?
Thanks, Car!
sorry got sidetracked then by Oscar unearthing children from their beds....
lmao! brat dog
Ata thats sounds wonderful I'm waiting with baited breathe
serves me right for saying he sleeps downstairs
Let me see if I can find it, Monkey. I may not make it to the mega beer outlet until this weekend though.
What is the name of it?
were the kids enjoying being turfed out of bed?
yes they thought it was hilarious!
OK! That's a fine start. Whenever you happen to get there, look for "Reuben and the Jets" or "Cruising With Reuben and the Jets" beer. Let me know if you see any. And thanks!
Meanwhile I'll write my brother and aunt, but, entirely contrasting with you, they have been entirely unreliable regarding the securing of Fine Beers intercontinentally. They keep forgetting to look for it.
Still here debs?
Is that made by Lanquinista as well, Monkey? I've written it down. I'll let you know what I find. Promise not to forget like unreliable relatives.
Hobbit has a new collar today *random*
yes. How u doin
Lucky Hobbit :)
63 now, you got yt6?
Oh, and I will track down my obscure cousin who said when I met him this summer that he has a "beer guy". Oh, you replied! Yes, Lagunitas and a good chance the last one in the zappa series. Thank you, but don't stress on it please!
it's purple :)
How about we trade for a package of the green bud from Amsterdam. Brother has cancer and is in quite a bit of pain. Just kidding. Trafficking drugs simply will not do.
yt + what paul daniels does
Now see, that would just ruin Oscar's street cred if I did that to him :P
You'd better be kidding. That is NOT funny to the U.S. Really. They come after people. But no worries, I KNOW you're kiding!
Unless you want to pick it up... I'd be happy to get you a baggie at Willie Wortel's or such and let you take it home yourself.
I am totally kidding. I'm sure customs officials here have hell hounds ready to sniff anything with the word "Amsterdam" on it. Uptight buggers if you ask me.
Speaking of uptight, if there can be a sexpot, why not a sexpan?
hobbit looks *very* smart :D at least it's not pink!
Hello, folks.
hello Vicuna :))
Well if Oscar was female he'd definitely be wearing pink - Megan wouldn't have it any other way!
Sure. But this also a Disproportionately Serious Issue." For some reason it has become a hideously inflated Big Deal. That said, I don't want to soud preachy-- I totally knew you had to be kidding and so it's really funny!
Ewwww.... pink. lol
Our Nightshade wears nothing but royal blue.
Oscar is black and has a black collar (but he also has a blue one, a green one and a red one lol)
Oh my, what a well-dressed canine.
Saskia is fawn and has a bright orange harness.
Hobbit only has purple collars, imported especially from the US! It's impossibel to get purple collars here
I can get you purple collars.
;-) Besides, Monkey... there's plenty of home grown bud to be found here. Wouldn't ever have to have it imported. Just that pesky "illegal" factor about it.
Seriously, Ata? No really, seriously?
seriously LOL!! not intentionally, but I know a black lab in the US that has a purple collar, and I really wanted one for Hobbit. I couldn't find *any* over here so best friend sent one over!
Finally got it - this is so stressful!!
I don't know why, but that totally cracks me up.
I'm shocked, Ata. Purple is such a royal color. I should think the UK would be awash in it.
cos its funny!
Only the queen is allowed to wear a purple collar int he UK! lol
brb
Okay, maybe her corgies can, too.
Hyuk, hyuk! Actually if they feel like saying you imported it thay can just say so. That said, I have heard that internally local enforcement does realize there are more serious public health and order issues, and so there is no actual famine.
rofl
What's so hard about getting purple collars? Buy purple shirts ..
Ata http://tinyurl.com/cy3s93
I think the problem, tor, is that Hobbit doesn't care for dress shirts.
But the first point is one reason why legalizartion is a good idea: once something is legal it can be regulated, and that's why prohibition failed of course.
We shall have to start a protest group: "Purple Collars for British Canines". When's a good day for a march?
March 4th.
theres another one, yt + ****ngle (shape)
They legalized prostitution here a few years ago, and there was an immediate vivid drop in women doing it against their will, abuse of working girls, and venereal disease. Not to mention they have a union now and a three-minute police response when the red button gets pushed.
Help please! I have to run and I need 2 words both ae. Can any1 help please?
Got that one straightaway - thanks. How many are you up to now?
Even if we don't march, it's a good theme for Babble. Purple collars. Let the word go forth.
Oh, must go listen to son's piano practice. I have been invited to enjoy the grace notes. Back in a bit.
I can get you purple collars.
83 and slowing down
Bye Vic!

Hi, kje!
It is the same at the AL 6/21 but you add in an extra vowel with the ending
OK, just realized there are 2 AL 6/21's! Sorry. It is the last 6/21.
don't have it
Clue for al 6/21, please?
I guess it is the first name of a famous female tennis player.
Thanks! Now for the 7...
Ok, again, sorry. Just 1 AL 6/21. I will remove head from my butt now...
there aren't that many vowels in the gride!

hello again. back for a few whist dinner cooks.
hello
babble, I always enjoy your icons, and the quotes you post so much! You must be a really well-read person
hi Trif
hello phae!
wow, I guess I can really kill a room, huh? how embarrassing!
has been rather quiet
hi, Trif, I'm here -
hi Babble and phaeton
hey there jbv!
hi all
yesterday the chat was whizzing by so fast I couldn't squeeze a word in edgewise, today is very different
isn't "titchy" a word? i thought it meant jumpy, and rather cross...
i think it's tetchy
howdy nelleon~ glad to catch you on the other side of the day
twitch
twitchy
hmmm. perhaps so, jbv
I am always scared I'll hit the enter button at the wrong time and become a de facto troll!
hi jbv...i'm sorta here
i can't believe there are four u words - i have zero
lol nelleon! not to worry, we already love you
actually, they are pretty common
ty! un 6/24 not ready to eat
not trolls...U words
i only have three of the four, so I am lost
thanks, nelleon!
yw
just got my second u - i guess i just wasn't concentrating
oh! i have them all - can clue if needed
jbv, I think I might like a clue - I have un 7.40, un 5.14, and un 6.24...is the fourth one an un also?
la la la
you're missing the first 5/12 - ne plus ul*** or ul*** slimfast
ne?
JBV thanks
JBV...since you're offering, how about fa 5?
ok... back... and want to polish off these last 32!
fa 5/16 - add L*** Horne
prix is not accepted...hmmmm
ne is a tide
when I said i have them all I meant the u's - I have not finished the grid yet :)
may not be grand enough
BR? clue for pr5/14?
Thx, JBV!...misread when I got back on!
thanks for the clues, everyone~
pr 5 --- p + a veggie: ****baga
fireworks! thank goodness for morewords...lots of odd ones for me today!

wtg, Kazozz
OOOOOOOHHHHH!!! that is why people were talking about rutabagas!
congrats, Kazozz
woohoo kazz!!!
Well done..i think i am going to be the only one left soon..hahaha..ok come now only 130 to go
don't worry, I am still at 59, so you are stuck with me for a bit.
56 here
56 left, that is
LOL...the more the better :-)
I can't believe I have fewer thanyou guys. I'm sure you will be zooming past me soon! 39 left. lol
22 here
60 here ..
hey, peeps
hi BGH - still thinking
hello!
can I get a clue?
mag mom - are you still here? that must be some storm, they just reported a "massive ice storm in Oklahoma City" on the NYC local news!
whatcha need, kje?
no... aclue for something else
but ty tyger... will likely need a babble one soon
how are you doing tyger?
oh, dear, hadn't heard that jbv! ice storms are just about the worst, aren't they?
so-so, kje. just home last Friday from my 2nd hospital stay
we had one here in 1994 - people are still talking about it
keeping your legs elevated?
at least some of the time. it ain't easy. I've started reading in bed to add to my legs up time
hi peeps
hi lil*
my first word is ti5, slang for bosom
only have one small raw spot left now, but was told last Friday that I have congestive heart failure :(
up mean above heart level whenever possible, tyger
the ye 5 has got to be a fake word! there is no way that is how it's spelled....
hey, monk
mine was too monkey!!!!! LOLOL - we are scary
why not, trif??
it's how I'd spell it :)
am getting legs wrapped twice a week with special white thingies with squares to align to
visiting nurses
I think i usually spell it the way it is listed in the def when you click on it.
un5?
tyger, i'm so sorry you have received that diagnosis!
kje - un + to tear
prop legs up, tyger
great... have visiting nurses also shown you all the hidden salt? have them go through your cabinets with you one day... and fridge
Well, look who's here ..
monk, the nurse who came out Sat to re-analyze me told me it's a common thing, and "easily managed"
no canned food or frozen prepared food, tyger
oh trif... i am so embarrassed... and had the 6 already too!
{{{{{torgie}}}}}}
ugh
yes, tyger it is easily managed with diligence and the right attitude
monk, that ain't possible. I can't do that much cooking. can't stand that long - been that way for years, thx to chronic pain
{{{{{monkey}}}}}
I eat a fair amount of Lean Cuisine & Smart Ones. they're about the lowest
oops, gotta poof. secondo needs me to type a paper for her.... back later hopefully!
tyger, frozen veggies are OK, but not froz pizza or Lean Cuisine-types of meals
bye trif
but I started cutting back on salt 35 years ago. there are very few days when I have as much as 2,000 mg
*poof*
whatever happened to the idea that children did their OWN homework???
monk, there's no helping it; sorry
later, trif
heart smart would be OK... but the diet ones like lean cuisine and healthy choice can still be quite high in salt
tyger, what is the recommended daily intake of sodium???? i have no idea
I rarely eat pizza
I do watch the total salt content on the boxes, peeps. been doing that for a loooong time
goal salt is under 1500 for you tyger... and now i will stop, as you didn't ask my advice - LOL
and i know it is annoing as hell to have everyone telling you what to do
recommended daily intake is 2,000 mg (2 g)
lots closer to that than you think, kje :)
for CHF patients...1500mg
for me... 2000mg
tyger , the worse offenders are : canned soup, frozen pizza, frozen chinese entrees, frozen "snack " foods like egg rolls
thx, kje. I was starting to get tired of it :)
I don't eat frozen snack foods. can we change the subject??
sorry, i will back off
just cuz we care tyger... but i agree - this should be your refuge... i will not do that again. please forgive me
me too
my daily food intake averages 1200 calories
and I almost never add salt to anything I do cook (not that I can cook very much)
I gained weight in the hosp. trays have WAY too much food!!!
5
can i get a clue for the f in the lower right? I have fa5 and fe 6
tyger, can i be nosy and ask how old you are... tell me to f off if you like : )
I agree tri. Mr. yu*** would never spell it that way.
65
fa5, fe6 x 2
2 FEs
but a babe in my world : )
thanks, kje, got it
and thanks, tyger

Good Evening, I have 64 left and I am finding this grid is making me feel sort of depressed. Its so yecchy
I need to find a new icon. I never changed at New Years

Oh I did sort of didnt I.

Well, will roast up some meat in the PB.

Holding,....Hiding, well its the thought that counts.

Could you see the nurses if all of a sudden we started babble talking they would have stopped our pain meds
lol they would have locked us up
I walked that hall everyday by ortho with the mural to Dr. Oliver , who do you have for an ortho dr.
dr galvin for the hand and oliver for the hip -- no hall walking for me though. glad to here you are better what was the cause
ra7 ra+yo*r urban area

Off to watch Australian Open...we tape the wee hours and then watch what we can live! Bye, everyone....best wishes with finishing today's grid...been away for awhile myself.
and the worst part is that i can not knit
knitter, be sure to get good Hand therapy follow up...they have some things that will get you into shape.
bye jimmel
thanx red will do
aknitter in honor of you i will put my knitting aside till you are better
Bye!
I am sure you already are doing. I am sensitive, as when I had this accident I could no longer do anything but babble and I was really really depressed for a long time. I will also promise to do no knitting.... LOL
{{{{{knitter}}}}} how are you feeling?
rhymes with babies?
oh no speed i could not ask you to sacrifice yoour knitting !!!
hi judy i am ok
a clue for un7/40?
President is on TV, he looks like he has already aged 8 years in one week.
jbp I don't have one that rhymes with babies but havng babies
really, aknitter . . . if you needed some hugs and attention I'm sure there were less painful options! LOL
before you open the door,you have to un+++++ it
NO, rhymes with having babies
unhook a gate
ooh, thanks speed
there's also one that rhymes with babies, except it's a voiceless consonant instead of the middle b
red the president is trying to quit smoking and they said after the first complete terrorist briefing he chain smoked!!!!
i can't say as I blame him
jbp...that doesn't make any sense
tks cio -
I don't know if he realizes what he has gotten himself into
instead of a b, use a p
didn't work, but I tried it. ;-)
lol judy you are right
Timothy Geithner confirmed 60/34

Interesting news abotu Karl Rove...
from the bottom Y
What about him?
al+ ***t's entertainment+not her+first vowel
ya 4 -- swervesoff course momentarily
ye 4 -- slang yes

They have again subpeonead him which has been happeneing for forever. Prior Bush always blocked the supoenea, but now Bush is gone.
i don't get the swerve off course part
ye 4--- add what has a steeple: **urch; ye 5 --- extend the ye 4 to mean like it
ty
Subpoenaed him for what?
I am sorry I was only paying a bit of attention, I cant remember what, but it was for his role ins omething that was not good.
thanks babrab
foodies are here, bbl
But I gotta say, I find ROve a bit scary and in general not good.
yi 5 -- y + a healthy baby means a successful b****
ae-5 please
thanks BR.
2 more BR
yt 6 --- add, ****ls and tribulations
yt 6 --- add ****k or treat
Wasn't he involved in the mentioning of Valerie Plame as being a CIA agent?
ty ty ty ty BR! Y's done!!!
Those were the ones BR...ty...kept leaving out the double cons
ae 5 -- add US foreign intelligence agency, abb
Rove has been involved in a variety of things. I do think the subpeonea had something todo with CIA, but I really didnt really perk up my ears.
ty
Who is he being subpeonead by?
rove was subpoenaed to appear before the senate judiciary committee regarding the firing of the U
the US attorneys
Oh, yes.
OOOOh, thanks BR, yes, now I recall it.

Hello all
hey jilli :-)
hi jilli!
I've been lurking a bit -- thanks babrab for all the clues :)
love your grandma, une!
OOOH LETS ALL WAVE HELLLLLOOOO to the lurkers...
Hi ladies and gent. I'm back for my 2nd half.
thanks, jilli LOL
hi krista
did not mean to shout, but...I had to get the lurkerz attention.
oh well, ok, hi red
you caught me
Hi dorens.
thanks for the greeting, Jilli...people rarely say hello to me..starting to get a complex
Hi Krista!!!!!!
Hi babblers me too ,this lurker needs help with the ra7 please
jilli, here she is with her mother
sorry yvo, don't have it
hi Dorens :)
wow une, you are lucky to have those pics. Come to think of it, I have a couple of the same ilk. but no scanner
thanks you anyway
ra7 ra + vowel + town
re plus vowel plus an urban area.
my printer's also a scanner--have been scanning like a fiend!
cool. (and thanks for the ra7)
yw
How are you Dorens?
thank you so much ,i really spend so much time on it ,and i am apriciate it very much
I'm fine thanks.... the asthmatic after cold thing seems to be gone -- how are you?
glad to hear--that's a miserable feeling
une, that's sweet -- she looks happier there, and her mum looks like a darling
i'm alright bit stressed about house...
hi dorens and yvo :)
i wish i knew something about her mother--know absolutely nothing . . .
YVW yvo.
Une do you have the name? You could probably find something out.
hi jilli..... red, does being stressed make it better? is there anything y ou can do about it? if not, try to relax
I wasn't lurking...I was eating dinner!
no i don't . . . have been able to do some research on Ancestry.com re my maternal grands and great grands but not on my dad's side
It doesnt make it better, but its very hard to relax, things are at a sort of nutty point right now.
all I know about my maternal g-grandmother is that she went from Ireland to England and then Australia -- "from impoverished gentry"
i wish I'd asked my grandfather more when he was alive. no one left now to answer the questions
We have a similar issue, My Grandmother was adopted....
dorens, I would recommend to everyone to find out everything you can while folks "in the know" are still around . . .
oh, that must be frustrating, red
shouldn't the plural of taurus be tauri?
that's why I've been putting things into Geni.com
ah, but then again taurus isn't acceptable to enable anyway
Well, Since both her and my Grandfather died, I discovered some very interesting things. my Grandfather apparently spent a lot of cash trying to locate her real father...
dorens, I thought so too
yes . . . i'm the self-assigned keeper of the info and the pix! :-)
how interesting, red . . .
but we do have a ton of their photos...and My Mom does most of the putting them on disks...
that's terrific!
And apparently my Grandmother was once taken by her real mother from the adoptive home...
really? wow . . .
oh, the secrets we unearth!
I wish I had been able to know this and ask her questions when she didnt have alzeheimers, but she never brought it up and who would ask, hey...were you ever kidnapped?
My life has not been near as exciting.
:-D
BBL--wanna check on tennis
just checked my email...very exciting message from my son jeremy http://focus.med.harvard.edu/2009/0123 09/generics.shtml
well, in retrospect, it probably wouldn't excite too many of you, but i'm a proud mama
Yaaay for Dorens and Son!
thank you red.
wow I really killed the chat with that, sorry
i just popped in again...it's very exciting..and your son is handsome
LOL...no you didn`t i still got 115 left to go and i have been on here over four hours hahaha
thanks krista. he's pretty amazing, i must say
Nah, we are all just desperate with the grid....
yes, my second half is going nowhere
i'm down to 11... opening lickety made a big difference, but these 11 are elusive to the nth degree
hi again - dorens, I checked website - you have every right to be proud of your son
that's what i need to do (Lickety's)...you son looks so young to be in his position
56, I am not paying attention, but I will say I am not a friend of the grid.
Dorens son is a smartie pants.
he's 34.... looking young runs in our family (that's one of the good things, won't mention the bad!!) thanks jbv
he got that from his father (but maybe his writing abillity is partially attributable to moi)
ok what is this thing called `lickety`??
Ah, just say all the good stuff comes from you. That's what I do.
look below the grid, zoo... friends of babble... click on lickety's babble clues and a whole new world will open up unto you
may I have a clue on one of the fe 6's, please?
this thing called lickety is what lets me get this grid done, most days - just had to open it, with 40 words to go
:-)...many thanks Dorens
go to a spa to have a fa****, jade
55 here and lickety isnt really helping me today.
thank you DOrens!
the other fe6 is fe and pe***i*r/strange.
yw-- wish i had the other one!
thanks lynxx... just what i needed!
firewords, thanks to clues and morewords at the end
hi, all

Had to hurry up -- bridge night

hi, lyn
thx lynxxx, red, dorens, pam...
hey all!
jade!
I;m ok, very stressed, but I think in the end its all going to be ok.
hi everyone- how is the grid? Do I dare?
Now to turn on the news, get my vodka, choose what to zap for supper, and come back here to clue for a bit if needed
it usually is, rd
about your new job, red?
hi, dr!
i'm down to 5 dr.. and not thinking it's too bad
Its testing DR
OMGosh - on the news - a Los Angeles gave birth to eight babies ... they said she's a stay at home Mom - suggests she has other young 'uns ....
hey pam, read about my son (the one at brigham & womens) http://focus.med.harvard.edu/2009/0123 09/generics.shtml
New job, I was offerred a different new job on Sunday, House going on Market...its messing my eating up, so now I am just all out of whack.
hey pam!
hi all who came in recently
red, it will be fine, don't stress
ex 6 please
congrats, Doresn! I will read the article, but nice!!!!!
ok diving in... Red- go with your gut. It will work out
It will be what it will be, house really may not sell. apparently it looks beautiful but you know.
Hi Krista
Are you going to take the new research job?
add a vowel to the ex 5, dorens
thanks jade... i wanted to add an O!
I don't know. I didnt hear from the Doc today, so we shall see, if the pay is better and I can control some things, I might...
I hope that whatever you decide, it feels good!
Well, its all good, if the house sells things will be a bit stressy moving stuff, but after that, I think I will be happy no matter what.
I think I'm just in a bit of an odd place of limbo, but anyway...
Where is the job?
At Florida Hospital, Apparenlty the MD I was chatting with is the head of Neurology, he came to see my patient and just sort of offerred my a job...
its at the same Hospital I am at for the moment.
firewords.. on a silly word ha6... ends with neurological symptom!
How are you DR? and How is your son?
and YAAAY dorens!
(my exhusband, jeremy's father, is a neurologist)
YAY, doresn! and thanks for the hint for the ha)
Congrats Dorens!
I am ok Red. Jake is madat me because he got in trouble but whatever... the world does not revolve around 10 yr olds. :)
The new job sounds promising- I will think good thoughts for you
their world does, though, DR
now here's something new - I just got a call from my congressional representative saying he is holding a telephone town meeting and if I want to participate, just stay on the line - I hung up, have to finish babbling!
ROFL JBV
nice of him to think of you though, j
LOL JBV, at least you didnt have to tell them why.
it was a recording :)
Don't feel bad, DR..I was told that I suck by a 7 year old today...who was very unhappy when I got through with him
I think 10 yr olds are often mad about something or other.
YEs it foes Dorens
* does - sorry ( if Torg is here)
that is different, JBV
anyone have the fa 5?
well, ladies, time for me to get on that treadmill..goodnight and good luck --fa + the end of the hy word, jade
fa & little kids are a m***ce!
I do not feel bad. He is the one with missing homework that we did over the weekend and between the house and school , it disappeared.
I do not feel bad. He is the one with missing homework that we did over the weekend and between the house and school , it disappeared.
go dorens go.
DR, hes learning those life lessons.
bye Dorens
Bye Dorens- take care
I know but I somehow am the bad guy
lol red... i do need the encouragement -- hard to get started, but once i do it is a good thing, and I am determined to give it at least 20 minutes every day in addition to my regular exercise routine... something has to help take off a few pounds
excellent, doresn!!!
good for you, Dorens..night
I will admit that I did no exercise today AND I ate ice cream.
both of my kids have been in pissy moods this week
is it a full mooon?
I just dont care.
ice cream over treadmill anyday
hmmm..we've all been having sleep problems..just maybe!
thought the doc wanted you to excercise less and eat more..sounds like u are just following orders, Red
it's good to be the bad guy DR... in my school there are so many kids with big problems whose moms refuse to be the bad guy... parenting isn't always being the good guy. and now good night. *poof*
it's good to be the bad guy DR... in my school there are so many kids with big problems whose moms refuse to be the bad guy... parenting isn't always being the good guy. and now good night. *poof*
wouldn't that be too gooey to walk on?
orders of which I am envious, but..
I have to start doing "meal plannign with the nutritionist which means that I have lost my own meal planning privilidges.
Bye Dorens :)
I think she would have been fine withthe no exersise but not so good with the choice of ice cream as a meal...
Hi ruru
hi DR
Hi Ruru...
red, does meal planning include meal cooking? that's what i dream of - a personal chef
full of calcium and whatever fruit or chocolate was in it..antioxidants..flavinoids..
HI redster
i can justify anything
No. It means that I eat whatever is on the plan, no chices anymore.
ruru
I assume this wont last too long though. '
oh, is that going to be more difficult? some people do better with fewer choices
Ruru I love that photo...
those dogs are just too cute, ruru..are there any others>
if it's not too personal what is your goal? I mean what types of food are you eating/avoiding?
It will make choices very easy as I have none, but it means I have been unsuccessful, so its a bit depressing.
gmta red
JBV, the goal is for me to eat 1500 calories a day...balanced meals, which seems easy to do, but lately I have been failing ...
oh, but I mean is this for some type of training regimen? you don't have to answer, red, just tell me i'm too nosy
No no, like many runners I have some eating problems.
we lost ruru
but I am trying to fix it...
Ruru come back and talk about the dogs.
i wish you the best, red
my parents had their puppies fixed ( or broken) today
I was doing very well, but somehow with the added stress I am regressing. Ah well...
that's hard, Red..and you have so much other stuff going on
Stress does that Red
LOL DR! I love puppies.
yep, what u said
2 little malti-poos
what kind, dr?
It will get better. And now I am surry to have dominated the chat.
Harley and Lola
oooh they must be so fluffy and smalll.
never apologize Red
awwwwww they are SO cute!
and yappy, but well...
small but not so fluffy right now- shaved
not as yappy as i thought they'd be
I am thinking of getting poor door shaved again as its gotten hot again.
more bark and growl- at one another
yay! fireworks! (thanks to lickety and more words and some good clues in the chat)
Yaaay JBV!!!!!!

Homework issues
ROFL !! Having troubles ??
oh boy, what did you do to earn that title, DR?
Hi Aussie, sis
un
c's controlled!
Hi Bichon Sis !
Hey Phan !
and sorry for the un...
ahhh, the jakester doesn't want to do his homework
told him to do homework... lol
**kicking the Jakester's pants ** !
he wanted to go a friends
tell him to remember to turn it in too
Homework first !
can you kick the bryster's pants too?
No problems, a well aimed foot is ready and waiting for the butt with the pants on Phan !
that was th eother part Dawger- the homework we did this weekend disappeared between home and class and I drop him off at school
Hmmmm, did he eat it DR ?
maybe the pants will stay over his butt after a good swift kick!
ROFL Phan !
yup, welcome to the age of boys who can't remember to do their work, turn it in or empty their pockets.
Not quite sure...
or where their pants belong on their bods!
ROFL Dawger- Sounds like you have experienced this very child
buy him a belt Phan
Ha Ha Ha Phan !! over their trousers of course **doing my Superman bit**
had a boy...he's now a man, and he's got his own little boy to contend with! paybacks are lovely!
oh, we have, it's a miracle when he actually puts it on
good to know though that will be a while
I was the one kid in our family that actually did and turned in th ehomework
this is the age when you realize why some animals eat their young!
e's exhiled
* the homework
go Phan
or why 10 yr olds are so grumpy
Me too DR, I did my homework every night, and always asked for extra for over the weekend !! Was I a weird kid or what ?
forgetful little things
ROFL DR !
No Aussie- we are girls.... not weird
pre-hormonal, dr
Ha !
*** I cant wait for hormonal!
lol, you should HEAR the volume happening in my house right now, as I am trying to get the littlest warrior queen to finish her HW
he already has light facial hair
oooh, a Xena in the making! lol
Trif, quick, find the mute button !!
see... ISwear it must be a full moon
not if xena had homework in sword fighting!
Well! Bridge partner just called to say she's worried about the weather forecast (snow over icy roads) so we're not going to go.
nope, but it is chinese new year
Oh, aussie, if "mute" was available I would have used it loooong before now!
I am sorry for you Jilli
Hey Jilli, nice to have you here in NZ !!
ROFL Trif !
better safe than scared spitless, jilli
Uh, I do believe I'm in Australia for Australia Day...
Oh Duh !
i tried using the remote on my grandson this summer. he just looked at me and said "cwazy"
right, lbd
Thats the one I was looking for actually, just that I was thinking about Kiwi when I said it !
Ha ! when I pick the TV remote up in our house, Georgia Smurf says "No Mommy, that's Daddys !"
How is Kiwi? Have not seen her
lol, aussie.
BTW, not a full moon today -- a new one.
Oh Aussie- when it is missing do they ask YOU where it is... ( I know i said a word)
hmm, must be residual effect then.
laughing to the PB
Kiwi is, or was, having Mondayitis..... A bad case of it too !
ack, i need to toddle to the PB too.
I am bringing pizza with me Dawger
moanday moanday...can't trust that day
i have truffles!
I am sorry to hear she has mondayitis
Oh yes, Hubby actually rang me at work to ask where it was...... I said, on top of the cd player..... he said, Oh yeah, I didn't look there !
I have started charging a dollar to find things
I thought you said "Monday t*ts" Dr...oh dear!
nice Dawger- we can trade
ROFL Trif !
oooh, do they really pay you?
ROFL Trif! - That is something lil Monkey would say... not me
I was so confused there for a mo
I like Monday t*ts ..
no don't pay but also quite asking
Torgone, you dog!
Hi Torg!
* Quit
Hi Torg
and tuesday...???
Have any of you had this one.... you go to the supermarket to buy something..... the little one says "Mommy, can I have a ****** insert whatever it is they have asked for" ?? and when you say, "No, you dont want one of those", she says "But Mommy, I NEED it"
Torgie !
oh yes, the I can't live without XYZ blues! or boo hoos
we should all write a babble parents guide to the universe
Heyas all
Aussioe, I usually say "You need food, light and water" on a good day, on a bad day they get something more on line of "yah? Well people in hell want ice water but they don't get it."
But, heres my thing, Georgia Smurf is 2 years old !!
lol, trif!
Scary Aussie
and rofl Trif !
I know DR. isn't it !
Aussie, hand to God - I just asked the warrior queens what advice I should give you, and tertiare, age 9, said "tell her to say 'You NEED food, light and water!'" I think maybe she does hear me...!
ahh, she's just starting young, aussie
I think she is 2 going on 20 !
Trif, that's scary! a kid who is listening! YIKES
Oh Trif !! I love it !!
quick, send out a memo, Trif has a kid that listens !!
**everyone will want one !**
brb, need some tea
okay, now my real advice: two is not too young to start working on the concept of "want" vs. "need" - ask her questions back - georgia, why do you think you need it? If we don't buy it, will anything really happen to you? Will you still be able to eat dinner? Will you be able to sleep tonight? Will it help you live your life, etc."
I'll have one Dawg, then off to bed with me !
And TRUST me - they listen. Especially when you don't want them too. For decades you will have to say "say thank you, say thank you...." but believe you me - drop a ham on your foot on the hard kitchen floor and say the F word, and they will remember it for the next TWENTY YEARS. And will remind you.
I have my answer all worked out Trif..... I usually say, but Georgia, you already have so many things, why do you need that too ?? She usually answers.... OK Mommy....
I don't have to tell her to say please or thank you, she does that automatically......
well, then, okay. But trust me, don't drop a ham.
Dont worry Trif, I'm not about to do that in a hurry !
okay, speaking of cherubs, better get mine off to bed. See you in a few
just dropping in Trif, i hear kids do that all the time in the supermarket....
:0) tell cherub sweet dreams Trif xx
I heard this kid today trying to convince Mom to buy a plastic doy toy...He had all sorts of reasons why the toy was needed....but mom shut them all down....but he sure was convincing.
Ok darling Babble Family.... I need to find my pillows (its just gone 2am here).... Sweet Dreams Babble Family **poofing**

hi jilli!

lotsa laughs, terrible puns
that's scary, ruru
hi nrk and all
ty
Oh, ruru!
I would fit right in jilli
I know, ru
we never let her handle sharp objects around our house ,....lol
what's scarier is she probably thinks SHE's the normal one
but I think my DIL thinks I'm a dragon
no...
not possible
you are too sweet jilli
it's complicated -- she mixes me up with her maternal grandparents
huh?
sweet and sour porker, ru, lol
ohhhhhhhh
very complicated
get it.. kind of a Amy Tang thing?
Amy Tan?

ha5= ha 4/9 + 2nd vowel
ty
not at all, nrkii
i like amy tan's books. my favorite is joy luck club, it is so my family!
amy tan and stephen king are in a band together
loved that movie and loved the book too
(or were) with dave barry and someone else
oh I thought you said they were in bed together..
that would be a very crowded bed!
and weird
Not really. A silly class thing -- her mother's side was upper-crust and apparently didn't treat her kindly (according to her) when she was sent to stay with them. Her dad was a very handsome guy but very lower-class (excuse the un-PC). She connects me (and late hubby) with her mother's side and thinks everything I say is a criticism, which it isn't. She is a wonderful, talented, highly intelligent MA in Theatre and the family breadwinner. What can I say?
saving fish from drowning was really different
don't worry lb it is KING sized
*groan*, ruru
I think if I were in bed with Stephen King, my first rule would be that he would not be allowed to talk after lights-out... he scares me too much!
evening! is this a quick one?
no..
...in bed with stephen king?
no feather
That's so sad, Jilli.
very slow
but HI!
run weed run...
not quick, feather
must scroll back!
being in bed with stephen king would be a quick one!
Jilli, how long has she been your DIL?
RUDE, lbd!!!
It would be a novel experience though
stop ruru!!! (groan)
nrkii, they were married 24 years ago but it's their 31st year together.
ru, groan
(of course, I don't really want you to stop punning ruru)
wow, jilli, she needs to get past it already
jeez Jilli , she wouldn't have eased up around you by now?
quick, someone put ruru out of his "misery"
ra 7 pls
sorry -- 23 years ago, when she was 3 months preggers with child # 2
Tell her you admire her and love her and all will be okay
jilli, that's an awful long time for harboring bad feelings,
*groan*
ruru, I've done that over and over
(one upped by weed)
bwahahaha
ra 7 = Ra*l Julia + big town

ra+ 5th vowel + larger than a town
wow that's service ty

Late yay for nrkii!!!!
Late g'night to lbd...
It's my fault. She teaches English, Canadian variety. The other day she said "I'm waiting on...(whatever)" and I was most interested that she had used an Americanism and said so, but she froze and turned her back. I laughed and said "That's an observation, not a criticism", but silence reigned. My fault. I had to learn the differences between British, American and Canadian English when I was a teenager and can't help noticing them. She also sneers at our pronunciation of words like "forest", which my family (and my Canadian hubby's and the Oxford Dictionary) has two distinct syllables -- fo (short o)- rest but in Webster and American pronunciation is "for-est" and often slurs together so that it sounds like "forced". Mea culpa.
hello
Well, sorry about that vent.
I'd say it's your dil that has the problem, jill
YAY nrkii!!!
Hi harp
That's okay jilli...It must be terribly frustrating!
hi harp
Hi, harp
I concur with nan jilli
just passed the 100 mark -- time for a cup of tea!
she needs to take a chill pill.. or maybe a jilli pilli
But what can I do about it?
Laugh -- right, ruru!
send her a nice note sometime.. and don't overreact to her moodiness
ruru, I agree
I don't suppose a touch of humor might help, jilli?
Doesn't sound like you can win her over and she has to come around to it herself
Jilli, I think after all this time, she is not going to change so just relax and be yourself (0: you are lovely!
I second that lindy!
LINDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
