night joan!
bye Joan
nice chatting too! see you again
Just looked at the weather for 7 days, still no rain to speak of!
oh poo lynxx! and we are having heaps everyday! Sucky
That doesn't ease your hayfever? what sets it off?
I am stuck with the weather, cause we can't do soccer grading... and our club is very big! We have to grade. I am having a meeting here thursday night (cancelled the party) so we can sort out grading. I booked an indoor soccer arena for 1st March... get the pressure off the club I hope
cute pic mrp... who is it???
Soccer is sounding like a fulltime job! Lickety still coaches? and plays?
hi aussie peoples
hi kje... it is Maddison at 13 months, and Luke at 1 week :)
good morning all
yes lynxx! beginning of season is a full time job!

hi eva and lynxx
it is another round of "jon boy"
I am allergic to arcacia bush... and there are near the house! when the wind is blowing, I cop the hayfever!
can you believe how little my babies were!! brings a tear to my eye
sorry, that is acacia bush
that incudes wattles too doesn't it? I think you live on the wrong continent!
Lickety is grounds and net rosterer this year (again) and he will see who puts up hand to coach, otherwise he will do that, or manage the team
indeed lynxx! we have 960 species here! LOL
that is like a foreign language... grounds and net rosterer?
monkey will be happy - torgi is in the grid - LOL
I was going to suggest you pull the plants out of your garden but I think I will send you some clothes pegs and goggles instead
LOL! just send me clarentyne!
kje, football (soccer) is a foreign language to me! and I am secretary of a very big club here!! LOL
I just delegate all the jobs out to people that know what they are doing!
oh - OK soccer...
I am also canteen manager again this year for the club, but am determined to find a couple of year 11 or 12 students to take on the job of opening and working the grounds canteen for the season
phantom - neurotrope
nice one kje :)
they should like that mrp - get to see all their friends and give free food away - LOL

Lynn ? How are the girls ?
full of antihistamines!! how you going carlee!!??
lol I am having trouble with my popovers sticking been using the same pan I have for years and doing everything the same should I season it?
I'm just waking up :)
torg(one) is nearly in the grid :)
definitely.....the pop I have...I season very lightly every time I use it...
west... use baking paper
nothing sticks to baking paper
pot * even
i bake, fry, grill, toast etc with baking paper
papers won't work they're not high enough
actually..cus I have teenagers..i've put it away..they forget...so I have tucked away and doing without
baking paper not as pop here mrpres...its hard to find
how should I season it carlee?
for real?? wow
hold on west..breakie calling..brb...and my kid forgot a bag of garbage...gotta run to cirb
go do your stuff carlee I'll still be here
we get a garbage reprieve since yesterday was a holiday
what is a popover?
same recipe as yorkshire pudding but made in a cupcake sort of gizmo
narrower and higher
or can be made in custard cups
just googled it Brush the popover pan with melted butter or oil (preferably canola).
I do that and also preheat the pan before the batter goes in
west..its cast iron?
yes
nonstick sprays; the popovers are more likely to collapse. Either the sides don't get firm enough to hold the popover's shape or they stick to the pan.
it's older than the hilss
here a good web site

http://whatscookingamerica.net/Informa tion/CastIronPans.htm

Me too. But it's going well. Thought I had a reprieve when Walter said he wants a shower but Kraiwin doesn't so oh well. Kraiwin's mother and I are trading babysit days.
I'd have a problem with just a Great Dane
liking this grid...its fun...more then 1/2 way already
just chuck kraiwin in the shower!
it is a great grid carlee!!
glad you are enjoying it
Tempting...
tell him... no clean, no food
mrp, have any sage advise for potty training?
thanks mrp... sorry I haven't been chatting....the grid is grabbing me today
Dang, should have thought of that before lunch and the later snacks.
indeed I do shawn!!
Oh well, they're (somewhat) letting meBabble...
how old, and boy or girl??
Embarrassing, but I need the pe4 right after urinates...
girl, almost 3, goes to preschool in fall and has to be trained
pe + How Soon?
in fall.... are you in winter now?
Cool, thanks.
Indiana weather to be exact. old saying if you don't like the weather, wait a minute, it will change
MrP, how soon?
ok, wait til May, then pull out all stops! It needs to be warm
no bichon.... How Soon.... take the capitals
the nudie trick, I take it?
Sigh... and the 5 and 6 after that???
shawn... they will not toilet train in the winter... their bladders just fall apart at the first feel of peeing
Ty Mr. P. I'm a little dense today
Found the 5 now...
oh..toilet training.....I owe reese's peanut butter cups EVEYRTHING
EVERYTHING even*
hadn't considered temperature, ty. older 2 were a breeze, but they were summer. makes sense
We went with a sticker system.
pe5 that you just got... then shove the 3rd vowel in the 4th spot
I'm of the M&M's school of toilet training
Thanks!
tried cheerios with our son, he kept rescuing them. lol
can't toilet train a cold bladder! LOL
oh LOL shawn!!
we kept them in freezer ( BEST way to eat them..frozen)... and every sucess....first was a cup..then every day..got one..then every week got a package...
Yes, should have said--stickers and M&M's.
try a pingpong ball with boys... and sit a girl with a book, every hour
Oo?????
Wait, where do yu put the ping-pong ball?
have a chart on the back of the toilet door, and put a star on it everytime she sits and reads
in the toilet bichon! LOL
they have to develop an aim then! :D
great tips, mrp, thank you.
Oh, good that you explained
don't expect anything at night... use night pull-ups and get her up to pee at midnight... when she is finally dry, you are done with nighttime training. You can use a pee alarm... they are brilliant! but not until they are at least 4
my husband pees sitting...I had my son sit... hubby figured..I stand all day ong in work boots..when I get a chance to sit..I'm sitting
and you only use a pee alarm at night! never during the day
carlee, teach him to stand and pee
Yes, that's what we did, and then all of a sudden Walter said he didn't want diapers at night any more and even though he had not been waking up dry I decided to give him that power... and he was right! Dry nights ever since!
oh..and pee before and after a bath...but before while the tub filling
it is terribly important when he starts school
Can someone clue the oo???
my son is 16 mrp.... he can do what he likes..sit..stand
like the ee5
like the ee, MG, but use oo
ah, fair enough! LOL!! sorry carlee
when he started school...he was modest and used the stall
Oh, cool!
And I cannot seem to monkey the first two ou's, nor the og...
but...what i DID do..was in summer..I taught him to aim at the dandylions.... if he missed..NO MESS...it was in garden :p
same again monkey... oo and ee... use the ending for ou
Ah, thank you.
ou5/16 is compound... opp of in and opp of come
my husband is the same as your's carlee. only break he gets is in the stall.
AHA!!!
And... the og?
Thank you for all your help!!!!!
my son wees like a racehorse! standing and snorting!
og + double vowel
Found it just before the clue came in! FIREWORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yay monkey!
hooray!!
woot for monkey
the secon pe 5/12?
Now Walter and Kraiwin are playing together with the marble maze. Good boys!
Akkk, dog's barking at nothing again, brb.
pe + r**lity tv is such rubbish!
well, here itis
off to feed the brood. ty for advice, all.
Mr. P is that 5 letters? I'm looking for the 2nd pe 5/12
wow..still not thorugh the alphabet and only 40 togo...liking this grid
yes bichon... ***lity tv is rubbish
OK, going to try to arrange some transport for my job interview tomorrow. Thanks for all the help! Have fun all!
got it, ty Mr.P
see ya monkey! good luck
yw bichon
wow, it is Wednesday all of a sudden!
better go walk the pooch before bed... anymore clues needed??
take care and enjoy the walk mrp {{hugs}}

Ok sweet family, I really must be going, or I will be late for work, and points dont make prizes where I work, they make disciplinaries !! lolol.....

ok, just zipping in and out *poof*
i never noticed that une..but yes...they are both in the grid
i have never heard of kohl's feather...so I couldn't answer
and I have not heard of mania perfume either :S
feather, according to a google search they do sell it at Kohl's
that's what you were asking, right?
yes! you're better than i am une, i couldn't find that!
ok..well..i am off...laundry and something before work I suppose
sweet, and they're open now. cool. thanks so much une!
culater all..I'll pop in later to clue from work

ok, BBL
p
to
howdy folks
hi sato
good morning, takuma
hey all
hi,stud
hey bf
hey, bfsog
hey dc :)
it's like roll call :-)
LOL
heh. "Present"
a lot of people came in at same time?
I don't think there have been this many males in chat for as long as I can recall
i've been here a little while, justhave been in the grid
i am so unenthusiastic about being at work. ya know, like DOING work now that I'm here
i'm a lady :) just a kinda butch one ;)
i should batheand dress for work. after yestrday, not so sure i want togo bakc
we'll claim you then, trag
im a man, just a girly one :P
:)
god i like the babble world SO much more than the real world sometimes...
something specific dc?
only sometimes?
lol bg and trag
lol, yes... sometimes i rather enjoy my outside life
i've been in therapy a long time
yesterday was just long, long day. 11h - 10 on the phone
every once in a while it works out for me
good morning babble friends! NBT
ugh- that sucks
odd grid -- not too often one tile starts almost 1/4 of the words
moring trif
morning, trifioso
true that, takuma
well, i'm not going to actually start meeting with clients until i'm half way thorough the grid
yay for priorities! :D
lol
right?
this is my life, i have to but a boundary somewhere
right!
what do you do for work, TS?
lmao- this is not going to sound good given all of that...
i'm a therapist
silly grid won't take 'squee'
day job is a counselor at a school for special needs kids, mostly with emotional problems
what population do you work with?
whoops, sorry -- chat overlap
evening job is garden variety neurotic gay people :)
LOL. but what a lovely garden!
my specialties are eating disorders gender issues sexuality and adolescence
and there's no lack of us
Me?
neurotic gay folk?
tell me about it...
but having two jobs must be exhausting! all that therapy, all day long.....
indeed, stud :)
yeah it is. two days a week i have 12 hour days
oops, just followed that -- there are two of us who might respond to 'TS'
LOL Takuma
well, there go all MY fantasies about falling in love over cyberspace with a guy from Babble....sigh
you could fall in love with him, it just might not getcha very far ;)
it's ok though- there's a therapist to take care of you when it doesn't
there are some very nice, available, straight men in the game, too
yeah, I'm slowly learning it's not all about me ;)
that does leave you for me, of course, stud.....
if you like women
whatever. at this point, men aren't looking too good. might as well go bat for the other team....
lol - it's a great team if i do say so myself...
not necessarily looking for clues at this point, but are all of the 'Qu' words uncommon?
i'm in a relationship right now
gee, I hope my pastor is babbling, and read that....
and, as I typed that, I found a common one. an apt common one, given the chat
it's complicated, but we're truckin..
the one i found is quite common, and royal
OH SURE - get me all hopeful, and then break my heart, you strumpet!
that one's almost apt, too ;)
oh, and another that's within an sq
I found all the q's, and they aren't too bad.
that qu was 'weird'
thanks -- I was just suffering momentary word-blindness
qu 5, 16, qu5, 16, qu5, 18, qu6, 30 and the qu5 , 16
the ae bird nest is back
Do you have a dissertation topic, Takuma?
oh, thanks, DC - missed that one!
i always forget that word
yep -- it's in logic/semantics/ontology
BR, you really should think about moisturizer....
it's a ton of vowels, right?
I don't have a quick an informative description of it down, yet, though
corect, stud
interesting area, takuma
and btw, that ae is incredibly common in xwords
sorry, what is ontology?
all vowels and one common consonant? that's an xword-writer's dream
ontology is a branch of metaphysics (not the mystical kind) that deals with what sorts of things exist
and no, I wasn't being vague -- that's really what it's about
;)
damnit, i can never remember that word. ugh
firewords
got it
congrats bf
okay. Ohhh, I read a BRIL thing the other day, something about anthropomorphism, with a theory that objects can, and do, commit action. i.e., the rug really DID reach out to make you fall....
cognacs, bf!
way to go bf!
heh, I'm sure lots of us could get behind a view like that, trif
congrats, bfsog!!!
resistentialism
the specific part I work on has to do with the nature of properties
lol, BR
Tell you what, the article was so well-written, I was totally sold at the end. And did you see how cleverly *I* wrote about the rug, so as not to go in the PB? (pats self on back....)
babrab, fascinating concept, though i imagine the practice of it would get tiresome quickly. :)
wait -- did I commit a foul? I'm not very far into the alphabet
apologies if so
Hi everyone, how's everyone today
hi bichon
i must go bathe and dress and go to work. see yall later!
bye dc
ciao dc
hi bichon
Les choses sont contre nous - excellent!
hi bichon. chog is OUT today
thank goodness it's not just the red things that are against us, or that might have been tough to say, trif ;)
9 more words to half way
ugh
Trif, what does chog is OUT mean?
you can do it, stud, go go go!
that we're all gay?
just kidding, bichon, never mind....
I have been taken to task for suggesting that common sense is uncommon since an individual's experiences are unique ... Your dissertation topic has me thinking whether there is any common logic to perception
Sort of dense today. IT THE DAY AFTER pRESIDENTS dAY FOG
sorry for caps
I like that theory, br....common sense is uncommon...I think I get stuck on the semantics. common "senses" might not be common, but common "sense" does seem to be things that the majority of folks agree is a good idea.
hmm - I suspect that 'common sense' doesn't refer to anything well-defined enough to stand up to that kind of test
---trying to think of an example of something that is common sense----
hrm, trying to get NBT before I have to go teach, but some of these outliers are going to make that tough
don't touch a hot stove twice, trif?
I have been waiting all morning for someone to ask for a clue for the upper left I -- need one?
sure Trif, I'm game
i'm happy for you to clue it
heh, it would sure help with my nbt quest; I'd love a clue for that tile
Wait, got one a 5
in 5; 6
You are sitting in the living room, with the dog. Your person is in the kitchen, looking for the dog. They yell, "do you know where the dog is?" and you yell back "in ****"
no, I have the 6
ah - I just got one, too
all it seems to take is asking for a clue, heh
got both, but thanks for the offer Trif
i could still use the other
that happens to me all the time! you ask for a clue, and then poof, you get it!
and i enjoy the story type of clue
a body at rest tends to stay at rest
Happens to me all the time
thanks for validating me as an adult, there trag. SUCH a good therapist! lollollol
thank you
i think i'm probably a nicer therapist in here than in sessions ;)
i was serious - you seem like you would really be fabulous
well thank you :)
i think i'm pretty good...and my clients keep coming
Are you a therapist tragic?
yup
I always wonder why more therapists don't just snap one day, and lean forward and yell something like "just DUMP HIM ALREADY" at their clients, or the like
i personally just go silent and stare at my client until they tell me what i'm thinking
Amen Trif
it's a fun little game i play
the patience! I would stink at therapy, I really would.
it helps to learn how to breathe
alright, time for me to go think of something to say to these students. good luck all
Many therapists have tired of me, and have withdrawn
bye takuma!
good luck to you too other TS :)
be well, Takuma
really babble?
is that you in your icon, takuma?
i'm pretty sure there's more to that story ;)
yep
DAMN. sigh.
I just wanted to replace my Formula 1 icon, and got lazy, then forgot about it
ok, now I'm really gone!
oh this is sloooooooooow going....
and I am at that lovely gridlocked place, where the words suddenly dry up and vanish.
a rather pleasant grid, even if small
i'm happy that you feel that way BR :)
the first 60 were lovely
mornin babblers!
pert
*oopsie* *toddles off to PB*
good morning, EvaNadine
Happy Tuesday, y'all!
morning, morning...
video of the day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8xJtH6 UcQY
wheeeee
is it time for one of my favorite jokes, Judi?
*claps hands over eyes* nononononono, please, no jokes.
BR- I see you've found artwork of one of my dates
hehehe, ok
Yes, BR really needs to think about moisturizing
good morning all
lately he's been doing a series on "men I have had the misfortune to date"...not sure how he found out about them though???
Huzzah! I have vanquished the Qu's!
huzzah, judi!
morning wv- wtg judi
Did you make it to DC on Sunday, Trif?
*sneaks in* Judi!!!!! TO tried to e-mail you but it kept coming back!!!!!
sadly, no, judi....I so wanted to go.....but mr hate wouldn't take the fry, and I couldn't afford the train tix, so I just stayed put. next time!
frequently, my dates tell me men as a [w]hole should stay there
No, prob, Judy. I wasn't able to go anyway. No funds. What else is new.
hello everyone
hmmm. BR. I am rather fond of "if they can put one man on the moon, why can't they put them all there?"
i meant to try to go if my sunday wasnt otherwise booked, but i completely and totally forgot! *oopsie*
2 of those q's are tricky
bummer Eva! Would have loved to have met you.
aren't tricky q's just the worst?
yes br...they really are
maybe if we a do another one. (i often chicken out on such types of meetings because i tend to be shy)
LOL, Trif. Some are keepers. Mine's pretty useful to have around. Does heavy lifting, vacuums, does dishes, etc.
Mine is definitely a keeper, he cooks, bakes [doesn't clean, but you can't have everything] and loves to discuss issues
hi all
hi dorens
mine doesn't do any of those things, but definitely a keeper
where can I find one of these mythical creatures of which you speak? the helpful man?
I met him in the movies [audience that is]
they are rare, and often not exciting, but worth their weight in gold ( i found one myself)
They are hard to find, magmom, but they are there. I have a fabulous one.
If I didn't say the first word, my son David wouldn't be here today
i think most men are keepers to someone..........barring the odd jeffrey dahmer character
trif - girls are good too ;)
mine was a keeper, too, he just decided he didn't want to keep me.
I am sure, tragic!
yeah, that's kinda the issue with girls too :(
*chuckles* Saw comedienne a while ago. Can't remember her name. She was HILARIOUS, though. Said something like: Women want a man who can be a best friend, can cook, can be romantic and doesn't mind helping around the house. You girls could have him... if he didn't already have a BOYFRIENT
I really, really liked the one I had. really, I did!
if he felt that way, tri, then he really wasn't
*Boyfriend*
lol judi!
lol Judi
lol judi!
thanks dorens. Wish trag lived closer. He needs a good therapist.
this morning I'm toting some script meds to my ex because he was up sick all night
eh- i'm not the only one
oooh - keeper in training just arrived! Primo just brought me a toasted bagle, cream cheesed just the way I like it. How wonderful is HE?
he needs to want to go though
*jealous*
keeper in training
nice
he did go, trag, and told the therapist he was depressed, and the therapist told he to leave us.
don't let him read the chog - you've been all up over all of us
*looks at her yogurt in disappointment*
something a little fishy with that story?
what?
yes - there seems to be information missing from that story
Huh?
even a bad therapist wouldn't just point blank say to leave a relationship just because someone is depressed
who's story, mine? I swear, that is what happened. He told his therapist that we had a bad marriage, and the therapist told him that was why he was depressed. Never even considered that maybe our marriage went sour because he had unchecked, unresolved depression.
huh
therapists don't often say to leave. particularly if someone merely says he's depressed. he may have said more than that?
That might have been his interpretation of what the therapist said. But the burden on the terapist and he had an out. Did you have couples therapy?
yes. he maintains that leaving was the best thing for "all of us"
my ex swears that my therapist told me to leave him...it never occurred to him that I just didn't want to live with a jerk anymore
*throws protective arm around Trif* (I gotcher back, sweetie.).
whatever. I am sorry i brought it up. let's leave it now, okay? thanks
{{{trif}}}
back to flirting in here :)
we are managing fine. I hate my life right now, but this time will end,and I will still be standing, and so will the kids.
indeed, flirting it is!
oh i'm gonna get fired if i don't reach half way soon...
Hmmm. Okay, tragigstud. What are you wearing??
so stud....what are you wearing????
lmao
oh, SNAP judi!
LMAO, Trif!! Jinx Jinx!
you filthy minded girls :-)
you get PAID to babble tragic????
honestly? i'm thinkin that the best part of the outfit is the shoes.
i get paid to sit and wait for kids to have crises
so yes, i suppose i slightly get paid to bable
true--- I can't stand it when a man has on bad shoes
anyone have the to 5/6 combo?
BORRRRRING!
i'm gonna go ahead and not tell them that this is what i'm doing right now, but...
man, I sit all day and do that, but I don't get paid!
MM to the PB
Bichon: The tasteful bit in our mouth, minus the R.
mind you, I made the kids, so I suppose I can't complain
lol... oh judi, you can use your imagination to make shoes interesting... sorry to disappoint
ah well, unfortunately I must take my sexiness to the car and tote my unwilling children to school
minus the R in a world in which R is N
Phooey on shoes. Boxers or tighty whities?
Judi, the tasteful thing in my mouth?
What you actually taste with, Bichon.
we are on vaca this week mag mom, so my kids get to watch me babble
ty! got it!
Yeah - N. R. Whatever. Sorry about that. Der.
oooh!! i'm at half!!!
ok, time to work.
I get to go to New Orleans next week....I'm so excited!
the thing I taste with doesn't have an "r", you mean "n"?
don't work too hard stud
don't goooooooo
and judy - i'm a girl...and a kinda taken one...that said, boxer briefs ;)
got it, ty Judi
be well, tragicstud
i won't.. i plan to finish up the grid while at work today
lol tragic! help well today
thanks - you too... hopefully back by noon...
Oh. I was mislead by your blue icon, tragicstud. The question is withdrawn.
kitten atatck!
it's grey! way more fitting than blue or pink...
alrighty... poof
happy babbling! poof
true
oh, crap, sorry
Blame the kittens, Trif.
yes, it was their fault....
good thing there is only, what, five of us chatting? lol
Egad. There's some crazy woman raving away out in our lobby. Must be off her meds. The down side of working at the police dept. Have to deal with the loonies.
are
oh dear!
how did she get there? was she brought in, or did she come in on her own?
Fortunately, the Lieutenant is dealing with her. The rest of us are hiding!
40 left, and I have not put in a word in an age. getting the list....
She's a walk-in. Lives locally. She's obsessed with her neighbors. Thinks they deal drugs. She's racist as hell and thinks nothing of dropping the n-bomb.
I've got 1 left, want a clue or two?
Fireworks
oh, thanks, bichon, that is so kind! but I think I will slog it out with the list for a while. The ae 6 is intimidating at first glance, but I will let the monkaeys try it
yay bichon!!!!
Good job, Bichon!
poof
Heyas kids ..
TOR!!
JUDI!!!
Look, Trif! Someone for us to flirt with@
*Waits for the flirting to begin*
Goodness. Everyone seems to have left. *sniffs* Did you shower today, Tor??
*snif snif* Yeah .. deodorant too ..
hey toooorrrrr....how are yoooooo
Hellooooo ..
*trying not to get too tied up in the chat, as i have a meeting in 8 minutes*
doesn't seem like getting tied up would be much of a challenge today, evan.....
*whispers* Tor's single, Trif.
*whispers* I don't think so, judi, are you sure?
*Yes she's sure*
hmmmm
*whispers* According to his bio. Warning: doesn't like cats, though.
(((blushing))))
69 words down, 69 words to go...
!
eva, the first 2/3s of this grid flew for me, and then whammo, gridlock!
the list isn't even helping....
list helped me to get to ten.
ive been gridlocked since i started. but im also quite out of practice -- work has been keeping me very busy, so though i will say hello throughout the day, im often not able to actually babble...
eva, what do you do for work?
well then, glad you are here to say hello evaN
just realized I never knew....
S'okay, Eva. And you never forget how to Babble. Like all addictions, you just fall right off the wagon.
mostly software testing these days. government contract.
and on that note, its time to head to a meeting!
wow. totally over my head!
bye
never knew what?
I have never seen a grid with an s in it, but so few plurals.
I never knew what EvaN did for a living
morning babblers :)
NONO!!!!
Now that she's told you, Trif, she'll probably have to kill you.
Hi, Nono!
would be a relief, judi
Heya NonoNan ..
hi hi nono
Trif, dont be down on yourself
Hey everyone!
hi Angela
Perish the thought, Trif. Better to contract to have her kill Mr. Hate.
dunno, trif. think there are a couple of kids who wouldn't think that (not to mention kittens)
lol judi! at least THEN I would know where the money is! :)
brb
Well then you'd be killing two birds, Trif.
Has he really hidden money? Or did he just spend it on things unknown?
d) all of the above
That rat ba*tard! Now you have to contract a private investigator and a hit man.
hello all
Torg - just re-read your bio for fun. Don't know why but it always makes me chuckle :)
not liking this grid
Hey Peri :)
I am hoping the lawyers will settle this. don't worry, it will be what is should be
but you are in it again, pe4!
I know, that must mean I am special :-)
Hi, Peri. Immortalized in Babble. How very chic.
what is the name of the sheet like thing you wrap around you? like in the bahamas? pereo? pareo?

and I see tomorrow's bday girl is in the grid again... what kind of cake will you have, p4?
lone E might be the spooky one, peri?
not tomorrow Thurs, stid.
oh, and hi, all!
thanks rbud but I have that one
it's such a shame, tor. we really could use that wet stuff to refill our dwindling glaciers and reservoirs... and it's coming down too fast for your soils to use it.
something chocolate would be nice
Cake?
hey rbud *fixing calendar on the bday issue*
something choclit is ALWAYS Nice! *grin*
I don't think anyone is baking me a cake :(
then is it the needlecase?
*Outraged* There MUST be cake. *Consulting law books* It's in here somewhere.
oh, peri, Happy Birthday Eve!!!
yes it was, thanks rbud
thanks Une, but my birthday is 2/19
I will bake a cake for you peri, and then eat it for you so that you don't have to worry about your waistline...
ok, stidmama, hope you enjoy it
thanks for the needlecase!
Very noble of you, Stid. (NOT!)
yw :)
NBT, will do just a little bit of cleaning and bbs
see you soon, ms. almost-bday-girl!
Dilema next week. I'm having surgery on my left wrist and will not be able to Babble properly for quite some time. I shall be forced to peck away with one hand.
oh Judi... I am so sorry -- carpal tunnel type stuff?
what can we do to help?
No carpal tunnel. Some unpronounceable thing involving an extra sheath around a tendon. Doc must go in and snip away extra sheath so tendon can expand/contract properly. I'm a victim of my genetics.
well then, Happy Birthday Eve Eve!
if we can have a "haha" why not a "hehe" (liking comical references)
Truth be told, I'd babble with my elbows if I had to.
owie owie, judi -- well good to get it done then... I know about genetic problems! the stidkids accuse me all the time of being the source of all their woes...
And they are probably right, Stid. Literally and figuratively.
On the up side, I'll get a few weeks off from work. Won't be able to type. Soooooo sad.
oh yes, judi, so sad... at least in the short term. but I suspect you won't feel much like doing even babble for a week or so?
Time for a coffee refill. 22 left. I'll pick it up again this afternoon.
mmm. coffee. see you later!
how about a Designated Typist?
I anticipate being very bored, Stid. Was also thinking last night, since my left thumb will be most affected, what do I have in my wardrobe that doesn't require buttons, snaps or zippers.
sounds good to me, une!
lots of sweatpants and t-shirts, Judi?
oh -- that is a good question, judi. I finally got rid off all my elastic clothes. Took me nearly 10 years to lose most of the weight from the second child... only 20 to go. *sigh*
No doubt, rbud. I have several pairs of slip on sneakers though. I'll manage not to be naked. Dreading the thought of bra clasps. Best go out and buy a few sports bras.
Coffee! *Poof*
Whee .. 69-69 ..
go tor go!
36 left here
Race?
crap - yes i know.... I'm going
no competition if you have 69 left - LOL
kje! kje!!! I saw pics of you on lilmonkey's flicker!

WOOHOO JUDY!!!

I tried all sorts of combinations on that pe6 but couldn't find it
Yay Judy!
OK, now must be off... have to run home for a furniture delivery (getting a buffet for the dining room) and then prep a talk for tomorrow!
it was a heinous word judy!

my last was the stupid brit spelling ur5
i don't have the pe5
poof
See you later K .. Have fun ..
pe + hook letter + two vowels, stud

I've been off for 5 days straight; going to be ugly tomorrow morning when I have to go to work!!
i've tried every combo!
ugh
second vowel and first vowel stud
and then throw the I in the middle of those two
ugh - thank you
i swear i tried it!
lol
Anyone having trouble with Expert?
mine worked fine today bea
mine's working fine Bzzz
hi kiddies
bea, what is expert?
mine is sometimes funny, but i think it's my connection
like it tells me that i only have one minue left sometimes
Thanks, pug. Probably stupid IBM security.
back to find more word
words, even
do not like this grid
I don't like it either
I did like it. I must be odd.
it's not horrific with the list
hi all.
couldn't have finished without the list
(she says stuck at 60)
hi Owl
Hello TO!
hey Haz, Peri, TO, Cwest
hey owl :)
hi there, CJ
and Pugmama
Good morning/afternoon all.
hi judy
hi haz
ah judy, it will hit you tomorrow! ;)
getting ready to meet my sister for lunch
hi haz
for sure TO
well, Haz, I just vacumed (sp) the bedroom and I am exhausted :-)
there is a ur5?
need to retire; but first need to hit the lottery
Good afternoon everyone. Home from work early. Thinking Babble or a bit of house work, no contest.
bunch of vowels after the r TO
Hi elder
yes owl, and if you get it feel free to clue it ;)
Congratulations peri (I know you're in the grid). Don't you feel good, even if exhausted?
elder: thank god. that you even mentioned the other is cause for our concern
Hello elder - you deserve a bit of babble, I'm sure.
sure, Haz. Still need to vacuum the living room. Mopped the kitchen floor last night
TO. LOL
same 3 vowels as the pe but in different order
oh pe4/5 i thought you had finished. the way we roll, congrats for housework would be more appropriate.
ty
brain has come to a grinding halt .perhaps a nap is in order.
Is this a new leaf you've turned over, peri? My daughter got her sayings mixed up and talked about turning over a new slate.
Haz - Hello, I cannot disagree with that :)
happy babbling all
god i wish i could nap right now!
enjoy your nap pug
I needed a nap when I woke up.
Nap well, pugmama.
love naps but never seem to get to take them
not a new leaf, Haz. but the dust bunnies were getting caught in the cobwebs, so had to do someething
Hello pugma and anyone else who arrived.
*something*
LOL bea
lol bea
the cleaning does not take long, it is the motivating part that does
stuck with 51 left
there are semonars on speed cleaning, they tell you to get an apron or tool belt hang all items on it and work your way around. sounds exhausting.
Well done on getting some of the work done, peri.
yes it does, Owl
thanks, Haz
washer and dryer are calling; I hate when they scream like that brb
seminars on speed cleaning?
still looking for ur 5.
TO, then all you need is a chain and strap.
ur5 - ur plus an orderly qu5 of vowels
ur5 and three vowels all in alpabetical order
yes, peri. for idiots like me who cannot clean. god when i was irst married i knew nothing at all of real cleaning,
ty pe5
I've had 18 month old grandosn for five days. How can someone so small be so hard to keep up with?
what is real cleaning?
bea no wonder yo uneed a nap
The sort that moves the furniture and all kitchen applicances.
well my place may not be as spotless as Haz's but it is definitely cleaner
Bzz, Training for manhood.
er, pe5 i'm not sure i ever learned. oooh, them's fightin' words!
OMG, that will never happen here. I do move the smaller items tho
There is a reason we don't have kids when we are older.
like i would be embarrassed to say some of my real doozies.
My mother was a real cleaner. She used to move cooker and fridges and freezer out really regularly. I'm talking on a weekly basis.
Pe4, sounds like you have the same philosphy on cleaning. If you can't see it, it isn't dirty.
i cannot get the hang of splitting it up so i am not tied down all day saturday.
afternoon everyone
Mine is like that too, Haz.
My mother's philosophy was that if you look hard enough, you will find dirt.
Haz, good grief, so that's where you get the discipline from.
Hello Katie!
Hello Katie.
my mother never did that, Haz
hi katie.
I don't have to look that hard :-)
I'm not nearly as bad as that but keeping a place clean has probably been ingrained in me.
me neither, Katie
I just don't look in some of the places where my mother would have!
I like a clean place too. wish I could afford to hire someone else to do it
has anyone seen judy today?
Judy was on earlier
cluez for the 7s plz
Having to wear spectacles makes it easier to miss.
oh then i missed her, will catch her tomorrow.
I have been cleaning everything in sight and out of sight for the last two weeks.
tr7/32
tr7/32 - a type of soldier
The mess made when they installed HVAC in the house was horrendous.
back later to finish
ok peeps i am trying something new - walk first, babble later. but i will hang if 7 clues are forthcoming
to7/40 - being a plural for an engineering sort of to6/27
sh7 - combine a woman with what lies beneath the soil - variation on what Clint Eastwood smoked?
topographer comes to mind. i don't think that's right though.
to6/27 wrench ..
se7/32 - make the se4/5 an adjective and then more so. If it began with w the tears would be streaming.
i htough tthat was spelled with a c?
It normally is, enable decided to be imaginative.
thanks Haz & Torgon
*Torgone
You're welcome.
another clue for the to7 plz
nm just got it
ty all, must go walk off my scone. it would have been easier to give it away as i planned.
such excellent clues
Bye TO- enjoy your walk.
49 mean mean words to go
Thank you Haz and Tor.
Bye TO
ty. bye, all*poof*
hi all
You're welcome, elder. This is a grid with lots of babblets lurking.
Hello Ata!
Hello Ata.
Hi Ata
cats fighting again, children must be easier!
It depends on the children.
I'm sure that's tr** Haz
Absolutely.
Mind you, I've no experience of cats.
Finally nbt ..
Well done torgone!
Thanks .. 47 left ..
how's la spanglettina?
She's very well, Ata. We're both enjoying some dry days here.
I would happily trade my toddler for a house full of cats today. she thinks ketchup makes good finger paint!
And Hobbitella? Is the Boot of Protection cast aside?
I take it you didn't appreciate her artistic efforts, Shawnee? You might be stifling a genius.
good afternoon all
lol shawnee
Hello Orange and shorty.
Hello Orange and Shorty.
the boot of protection is long gone. she had a lovely long walk this morning, chased some coots, barked at some ponies ...
I try to look at her as having great artistic talents but when she markered the microseude couch, my favorite rouge chair, the beige carpet and her baby sister's legs, we had a bit of a row.
PB for shawnee ..
Ok Shawnee, maybe a little fighting isn't as bad as it could be
Have you resorted to tranquilizers yet, Shawnee? For either of you?
Good for Hobbit, Ata. Those ponies need to be told what's what. How's husband?
*smiling at the image of hobbit telling horses what's what*
for me, yes. her no. pb, eh? drat *grabs tranqus and heads off*
hello haz sorry i stepped away for a min.
annoying. as usual! I had a really horrid moment yesterday and phoned him up and told him and he just said "never mind. you'll be ok". thanks darling!
No problem, shorty. We don't see each other so often in the log.
They have such deep understanding at times ata
We need Hobbit to tell husband what's what, as well.
i know i have been going through some stuff and havent been on much
she growled at him the othe day!
I hope the stuff has got sorted, shorty.
On Friday I cooked until 1am, started again at 10am for most of the day. Hubby entered the dining room at 6.30pm and said he didn't like the way I had set the table................
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rooyt3ptNco
And you smiled sweetly and apologised?
OMG/ I would have smacked him!
He learnt a valuable lesson on being married and did the washing up from 1am to 2.30am to get himself out the dog house
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rooyt3ptNco
Try this link it is amazing www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rooyt3ptNco

Fabulous isnt it

I am 45 days clean today
ty Haz
and everybody else
good for you! go shorty!!
congrats to you shorty. An inspiration you are
*rushes in and hugs shorty hard* GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
It's true. Sometimes you just have to take yourself by the scruff of the neck and confront things. Well done.
congrats shorty - it takes a lot of work - you have a lot to be proud of
awww thank you stid!!!!!
hello stid.

atalante, I showed stidkid some of your knotwork on deviantart (Tom finally removed the filter) and he said, "pretty good" rofl... so understated!
I'm down to 56 but need to list soon
lmao ty Tom!!
I am about to list also...
*grin* he wanted to know why they chose that particular name for an ARTIST site... LOL
oh I know. just think of ALL meanings of deviation!
Hello, everyone!
indeed! anyway, have had some time this morning to just look at your lovely artwork... shorty -- have you seen atalante's knotwork? and everything else she does... *sigh* if I had HALF her talent I would be satisfied with my work.
well this one is just nasty
the colors and shapes always make me feel so happy...
hello orange cat and jellen!
hello Jellen.
yep. listing now. 56...
awww I'm glad you like. COlours always make me happy. I think you can tell that in the pics!
(((shorty))) Good for you!
ty Jellen!!! :)
Hi Jellen
27 left!
this is exhausting today!
Isn't it great - when Atalante is a famous artist, we can all boast about knowing her.
hey stud. yes, it's not that easy!
Hi babblers! here for a short lunch break. 22 to go
And Katie, amazing skill, getting hubby to clean up!
AE 6 please?
Hello fuquay.

Taking a break, have fun. Bye everyone.
Thanks.

Hello, Haz...Nice to see you!
Then I'll give a clue - e plus a little carpet wrapped up with a vowel
Hello Jellen!
Thanks for the ae Haz
Great clue, Haz!
thanks Haz. That is what I needed!
You're welcome, Katie.
Glad it worked!
thanx for that. strange word
wrapped up with a vowel
fireworks! yay! - and darn, back to domesticity. ;)
The last letter is a vowel, tragic.
got it, them actually... thanks
YAY rbud!
now working on the gu 5/16... *sigh*
Yay, rbud!
my brain wasn't letting that be a connected letter for a sec
thank you
gi 4/6 with an extra vowel
hi all
gu plus a Gershin brother, final vowel changed.
Hi, nrkii!
Hello nrkii.
hello
and hello jell! i missed a bunch of people coming in
aha! thanks again Haz and Jellen and hello nrk!
*Gershwin
You're welcome, stid.
oh NOW I know why I got pb'd. *hangs head in utter shame*
some of these words look like words my kids would be 'writing'
15 left to go here, but the P's are being particularly persnickety
Are you blushing, Shawnee? No need for ro5?
20, and i'm disliking the o's
nope, no need here. lol
ooh. bottom row is GREY!
I am now at my age and LOOKING it. *sigh* OU 5/16 please? it's hiding...
ou5/16 - compound word involving action and not inside
Silly word, stid.
not in + not come
grrr. thanks all! getting younger all the time now... :-D
I'm two years below my age and not looking it lol
14, listing...
go nrk go!
I still need one O, probablly fish-worthy -- have one og, oo, 3x ou -- what's the last one?
It's difficult to tell ages these days, isn't it? Girls trying to look older, women trying to look younger.
can i have a clue for the oo?
is the po 6 built off the preceeding 4?
op 5/12
there's an op fuq
nm, just saw it
i don't have it though
op 5
oo is like the ee5, just change the vowels
No, stid
thanks
and the op is where the fat lady sings
op5 - it isn't over until the fat lady sings
and i can't believe i didn't find it earlier
ah... Qu done.
how about the lonely e in the third row?
It's the needlecase babblet, et4/5
the lonely E is the needle case babblet
dang, I miss that one every time. ty and send fish
haz;s favourite word!
what's the first ou?
My needlecase is sadly neglected.
*packing box with minnows*
like the oo and the ee, stud
ou5 - structured exactly as the oo5
lol...lordy with that ending... some letters are clearly not being validated enough
lol, stud
hubby home soon & have to get ready for fat class, bbl for my last 34
still hoping for the po 6... help?
later katie!
Bye Katie
po6 - Irish moonshine
bye katie!
irish illegal moonshine
Po+adolescent
as soon as i get it stid
po + neither child nor adult
See you Katie.
p's done!
bye kitt!
oh gee. thanks all! (again)
Rs finally removed!
go nrk go
pe6,21?
the first one
SE 5 at the end please?
p plus the scary e5
pe 4/5 + two vowels
pe6: an equal+ the same ending as the ou, ee, oo
pe 6/21 the first builds off the pe 4/5 before by adding that 2 vowel ending
se + ***ss who?
se 5 at end is "transition"
aha! thanks jellen and nrk!
se5/16 - se plus the start of Che's last name
is the SH 7 fishy?
awesome
thank you
no, cigary
not really, stid. usually spelled with a ch instead of sh
It's a cigar, stid
It's a variation in the way you might smoke something.
got it!!!
great clues
ten left
sigh
thanks so much, that sh7 was my fireworks!
is the SQ 5 totally peculiar?
Yay, nrkii!!
YAY nrk!!!!
sq5/20 - the result of a determined small boy trying to put a square thing into a round hole
yay, nrkii!!
13 around these parts...
yay nrk!
I TRIED THAT!!!! thanks Haz.
it's a cigar?
You're welcome!
Congratulations nrkii!
sh7 is, stud...BabbleRabble clued it as "cheerleader"
17 he4 :)
go Stid and Ata!!!
down to 4 now...
two... (trying impossible combos and finding they work)
waiting for stid to get fireworks, then will go job hunt... take your time stid....
stiddy is so quick *sigh*
stiddy is so asking for help too often!
and asking again... to 6/7 please?
Yes, but you're great with colours.
look to the big letters!
to 6 and 7 are about turning
i don't have them either
nrk, if I weren't up to my ears in debt from school I would hire you to help me write these infernal admissions esssays... which I must work on when I finish
colours aren't very useful right now!
okay, thinking thanks!
think about the physics/science of turning
lol, when you get them, do you want to clue them for me?
big letters, stud. narrows it down a lot
got them! AND FIREWORDS!
or think of how you say WHY in spanish, and change first letter to a T
It ends with Spanish 'what?'
thank you :)
Congratulations!
yay stid!!!
8 left
stud, it's the power measurement -- how much to6 is needed to rotate a wheel.
Yay, stid!!!
go stud!
thank you all for your help! I dedicate this finish to shorty, my he4!
does the cigar one sound like any of the ones anywhere near it?
It's the sort of thing car salesmen talk about right before my eyes start glazing over.
lol yes
same as "spark plugs"
sh7 - three feminine letters, four under the ground plant letters
no stud... it looks like a girl pronoun and a tree anchor
sh* (female) + plant part
cigar word is female + cheer
ahhhh
thank you
or female + truffle hunting... or ... *grin*
lmao
aww, br is funny!
speaking of which, I think I shall go choclit truffle hunting.
nice
enjoy
how many now stud?
thanks for all your help
BR is quite clever!

thanks for all your help;
missing one g: have two gi, one go, one gu -- what do i need?
Bye, nrkii
choco covered cherries here

One gr4
gr
tyvm
we'll see how this goes, it is "green & black's" 85% dark chocolate... might be more a cooking cholit.
oh no, that's gorgeous!
No! That's a proper chocolate.
mmmm
and good for you too!
oh, it is SMOOTH! but will wait for my tastebuds to return before I eat more... *sigh* I can't find the high notes that I know are supposed to be there.
my daughter LOVES green and black!!
oh well, something to anticipate
Pass some to us, stid, and we'll find those high notes for you.
Hi, Une!
*handing out choclit to anyone who wants*
Hi. Does anyone happen to have the complete word list for yesterday? It's not posted in the archives.
G&B is gorgeous
hey, jellen!
ours is *slightly* nicer though cos it's fairtrade
Bryan, I don't, I'm afraid.
I don't Bryan... let me think.
Sorry, Bryan
That's ok, Haz. I've email Dr God to hopefully add it.
If you click on anyone who got all the words, does it not show up in their word list?
lbdawger has it in her profile, but she's not online right now
alright. no amount og monkying will help. qu5,18 and qu6,30 please
the people aren't listed for yesterday HAz
and the sq 6 wouldn't hurt either
Brit for standing in line, stud
qu5 is a line
kje pointed out that vosge makes a bacon chocolate bar
Thanks stidmama and Jellen. That's a good tip phaeton, thanks.
one day you should try Green & Black's Maya Gold, Stiddy. It's soooooooooo good
Haz, I'll try that.
qu6 is one who stands there
Yes, I've just checked. How strange!
yw bryan
Hi, TO
bryan, do you want the finished list or just the two-letter? because I can post LBD's stats to my profile or Babanon
Bryan, I've tried, people aren't listed. Dr-G doesn't love us any more.
and hi to all who joined since this morning... i am just dropping in to close out the application for the afternoon
someday I might atalante --
hello TO!
going home already TO?
ty for the remaining q words - see you later and happy babbling! no stid. lunch is over.
Hello again, TO. I'm just about to head to the kitchen, so I'll say cheerio. Bye for now!
oh no, I can't have that one. it has cow in it
A sq6 gun is the type that shoots water.
bummer. see you later TO!
oh :(:(
The finished list, stid, thank you, that would be great. I add whatever "new" words appear each day into my own dictionary. Yes, Haz, it appears there is only the chat displayed for yesterday.
Bye Haz
Bye all!
s'ok stid. i tried on a bathing suit yesterday. there will be more walking and less babbling in the near term
i have that sq
I can regenerate it for you Bryan, but it will take a bit. Will post it in my profile when I am done. if you friend me you can get to it any time.
bye haz
I don't wear bathing suits. Never swim any more.
Bye Haz! thanks again!
bye haz and all *poof*
sq5= sq + vowel + hens lay **gs
I would really appreciate that, stidmama, I hope it's not much trouble. I will friend you.
I bought my first suit in years last summer...never wore it...
oh oh -- that was a big grid. do you know how many you go?
Well, I got all of them. Does that mean it should be in my profile somewhere?
269, I believe.
in an informal game of scrabble I would sooo be allowed to trade in one of these E's. :(
if you got them all, then I would rather wait and see if Dr G responds to your email... that's a lot to redo!
I forgot it was so big. 100 I could manage...
hello team!
Time for me to go...g'bye all!
Sure, no problem. I appreciate even the thought. : )
thanks.
stuck on P words. anyone want to clue a few weirdos?
later Jellen! be well!
hi - i'm trying to stay incognito tday - i only make myself known when oreos appear....alas, no cookies today for anyone.

so, um, i have a question. how does one know what is a good cell phone? i tried to read online reviews but it seems like every phone has people saying "this phone is horrible!"
I think veryone has personal fvourites
i never heard any complaines with the 'nokia' cellphones
help with po6 pls
the best thing to do is find one that has what you want in a phone...then check consumers report
help with po6 pls
all i want is for it to be red and flip and have good call quality.
i have a red razr right now, which was my first cell phone, and i thought it was fine, but then my sister got a razr and she's had other phones before and she now says, "why didn't you tell me this phone is horrible?"
yes, exactly. I love my phone because it has a proper keyboard. other people would hate that
does the ra4,4 really exist, as I cannot monkey it for love nor money
so apparently i've been living with a horrible phone.
morning everyone
according to her. not according to you
po6 is irish hooch
but i have nothing to compare it to, ata. if i try something else, i might think, aha, i see what she means, that phone WAS horrible.
ra4 ra & princes D**na
afternoon all
the only thing is that it will not let me have mp3 files as ringtones, which i would prefer, but it doesn't seem easy to figure out what phones have that or not just by looking at the online info.
hi vjr
did you try googling phones that support mp3 ringtones
ty lynxxx. swear I tried that more than 6 times!
ooh wait this review site i just found DOES tell you what format of ringtones.
thanks lyn

oh nooooo! little brat!
I took some photos whilst screaming his name in terror! I'll try and get them on flickr
looool. little monster.
so who's in the new icon then?
that's Willow - my sister's springer. and Muffin lurking behind her, sister's JRT
cute dog
Awww Willow looks lovely :)
she's a sweetie. a complete and UTTER wimp though
Really? All the springers I know are real toughies
Willow - isn't. She's really really scared of other dogs - she was bitten by a black something or other as a pup, and she's never forgotten it. If she sees a black dog, she *runs*. Howling. (Except Hobbit, Hobbit's ok somehow!)
oh no wasn't a labrador was it !!!
Lindy? Did you do the drawing of the horse?
probably LOL!
ok..back..was cleaning my filter cartridges.....managed to scoop another bottle of brunello
poor Willow gets valerian tablets every day. She really is that clinically nervous of everthing!
ho carlee
*hi* even
<<willow>>
hi liz

hi west...
hi carlee
how the conditioning go?
well you know, i like an actual color. same with cars. i don't go for grey, black, etc
I baked an applesauce cake instead I'll do it tonight
okie kokie
that site you sent me to is great
and i can either get an expensive, poorly reviewed red one, or an inexpensive well-reviewed blue or pink one.
go for blue
OR i can get a non-flipping red one, also expensive, but i do so love the flipping.
I can't flip my iPhone I miss that
glad u liked it west :)
i SO do not miss flipping..i have the lg slide..i LOVE the slide
i thought I would miss flipping..but I don't
slide is better than nothing...
captain kirk always flipped.
the iPhone willbe my next phone..but in 2+ years
not a big kirk fan
by then they should be free lol
that when I will get it...when I am ready for an upgrade
husband always has to have everything the minute it comes out and pays too much
I NEVER do that..i have patience..and I love my lg shine
that's because you're a smart woman not a dumb man
ah..is THAT why :)
sure lol
Go easy on the menfolk .. some of us have feelings .. even if we are dumb ..
waiting for my 3:30 bottler to arrive... then I get to blow this popsicle stand
I knew that would happen I am only talking about men who do dumb things
oh..u menfolk are good for openning the pickle jar....and I love pickles..so I will keep you around tor
That's all of us ..
<snicker>
pickle jar openers perfect !!
I need a clue for the er 5/16 is it a normal word?
ah..client here..back in a while..ttfn * poof*
Pickle jars bow before me ..
all hail torgone
It's not normal .. e+carpet +vowel
pickle jar openers? from this group, truly, a stupendous promotion
oh, torgone, thank you for the nomination but i try to avoid using most facebook apps. i did appreciate it though :)
thanks!!
there is an ae6 version of that er5, fyi
What did I nominate you for? I try not to use too many of them myself ..
got that ae version duh
I try not to spam people too much ..
you nominated me for most lovable person on facebook
highly inaccurate, but, as i said, appreciated :)
the samsung high note is tempting but i don't see how i can justify paying that much...
hello bab would you like to be a PJO?
what's pjo?
Pickle Jar Opener
ohh loool
Well, I think you're lovable ..
carlee said that's what men are good for lol
oh lol. clever carlee :P
thanks :)
But I won't spam you any more ..
Broke?
unii :)
Tis be me! My video isn't on youtube anymore, lol. I went to listen to you again, and you were away!
O.O! it's not there?
Perhaps it was just my luck. I have been trying to declare my major for six months and the site still won't let me (I am in third year...and there is apparently no way to declare but online). Oy!
Oh, it's there now...Weird. My internet was too slow to load it maybe.
oh good! glad it's still there!
I meant to say, feel free to share with Lori if she would be amused by it!
I told her you made a video response, she was impressed. I've yet to link her...but you did inspire me to hang out in the art store today and buy some coloured pencils, lol.
wheeee :) oh good. trying to explain inspiration is impossible, it was the only way I could think of to at least try and explain something!
It was lovely to see it...as much as I imagine, it is hard to place someone in their setting, especially when it is so far away! Your study looks SO comfy.
it's very comfy. very messy and used. husband hates it and calls it a health hazard. Did you see the basket just to the left upper corner of my laptop? I can't remember whether it made it into the vid - that's where Silverclaw sits and surveys the world from!
Heh. I can't recall...I love the bottle(S?) of tequila :)
bottle!! actually no! bottles! there is an empty bottle of Patron that best friend bought me 2 years ago. And a new just opened bottle!
look at my profile pic to see what I came home from school to.
I like bottles with cool shapes. I keep them hanging around
If anyone has advice I will be happy to listen
crap, I have to resize. give me a sec
Lori had the most wonderful bottle collection...you should ask her somtime. Truly phenomenal.
and turn it round!
oh wow. I keep trying to have a bottle collection, but husband slings them away when I'm not looking
pretty flowers, phand!
hers was an accident. Our old house, when we were digging a new septic tank or something..we unearthed tonnes of old bottles.
One of my favourites was a little clamshell perfume bottle.
gah! help! how do I resize it?
you should be able to resize it in whatever photo software you have
WOW! I would love something like that to happen. I've found a few jars in the fields from 1940s ish I think, I use them as pencil pots
Fleurs! Is the broken thing the cause of les fleurs? I am having trouble picturing the image properly, my lappy sucks.
gah! now my chat log hasn't loaded
ok I am here now
Ata - do you have another dog than hobbit in your house right now? Or were you calling her hobby at the end? Sounded like holly...my mind was boggled.
just tell us what happened :)
ok, I see it, what size should the pic be?
check your email in 2 secs!
Ata, if that was for me that e-mail that is listed wont get anywhere.
for Uni :)
ok
800 x 600 is a good size
thanks
Uni uses google talk, I get informed as soon as I get an e-mail. So nice...
we like things like that
You planning on being a Canadian again soon?
Dang it, I can't get it to work.
Hey there y'all!
hm
May I please have a clue for ee5-10? Thanks
So, I had him in a kennel and the bottom of the kennel is plastic. I came home and he was out of the kennel and the bottom of the cage was destroyed!
alt spelling for scary, Peach
spooky peach
what size dog?
Thanks phandmd and pugmama763.
He is about 50 pounds
he is probably a black lab X German shepherd
hmm cant find out what the corner i is for . /
I suggest a kennel without a plastic bottom! DOgs that size can easily worry about at plastic. My ex cocker used to worry away at tiny cracks in concrete at the kennels and managed to tunnel through a few inches of concrete!
any clues for TO 6-7 pair please?
What else are my choices? Also, he doesn't behave this way at night...
maybe because you are there
to6/7 is a machinery/car thing - uses high score letter
called separation anxiety phan
corner i is in6.21 sort of compound
you can get kennels with moulded plastic sides and bottom, I know. I think you'd have to go to the nearest BIG pet shop and browse
ty lynxx fishy
wee found a 6 letter s .)
hi all, icon theme updated and ready for tomorrow!
hello Sprite,
Well, it took 4 weeks for him to destroy a kennel.
he didn't behave like this before.
how old is he?
2 years old
and he's been left in a kennel always?
lol that sounds wrong. you know what I mean!
cant you see how many left without upgrading to pro?
ahh
never mind
lol
About to go, anyone want any clues b4 I do?

Westford, going to be in your neck of the woods on Thursday - driving down to visit my dad and his wife in Common Fence Point.
ot
it's part of Portsmouth, really
I know the area it's much nicer there
Good going, Trifioso.
wave when you pass my exit
will you be coming down 95?
No, more like 24, I guess. Please, I am so pathetic! this is my DAD's house, and I still need my garmin to guide me. I suppose we do hook up with 95 at some point, but really, it's 24 they live off of. The one that goes by the Fall River Knitting Mills, and then my fave - Fish Road!
When we were little whoever said "I see the bridge!" first got a quarter from my dad - meaning the Mt. Hope Bridge
traveled that road many times
me too. Love RI
I love RI too
However, Maine still holds the record for my favorite street name EVER - "Cat Mousam Road" <-----doesn't get any better than that!
lol where is that?
I can bet that!
beat!
somewhere in the south of main.....
maine, even!
In CAnterbury we have Bogshole Lane and Slutshole Lane!
we have a place in Ogunquit
you win ata lol
Ogunquit!!! LOVE it there! Barnacle Billys....yummmmmm
lol I don't think anyone could beat Slutshole Lane. omg. I mean who on earth named that!
can't wait for summer
I went to camp in Alfred, Maine every year, and a stop in Perkins Cove was mandatory! Now my daughters go there, how awesome is that?
very
Maine. The way life should be.
My friends from Ohio used to freak at the idea that NE is so teeny we could run up to Maine in the summer for dinner. lol
except in winter lol
Yeah, Maine is um, challenging in winter.
is that like me going to France for lunch?
now that's something I'd like to do
I think Maine might be a bit closer, but yeah. France for lunch! tres sympa!
it's 50 minutes to france from here
wait, maybe it is closer - I can be in Maine in about 90 or so minutes....so yes, it is closer for you
50 minutes driving?
20 minutes driving, 25 minutes through the tunnel
awesome! that is really, really great.
okay, gotta go catch up on my Bible study stuff - way behind, and it starts at 7! ykes!
it's wonderful. We go over to France for the day - go for lunch at a restaurant we love near Calais, go shopping, come back
life is good ata
oh, sigh....If you ever need someone to come take photos for you, I am available at no cost!
geez westford, and here is me excited about Ikea being in Stoughton! so provincial....
it's a lovely lovely day. it's quicker for me to get to France than it is to get to London
Ikea is good too
ikea is great!
okay, le poof pour moi. adieu jusq'ua au demain
Hi all- just dropped in to say todya is my 2 yr babble anniversary

Happy anniversary DR!!!
woot!
bye trif and hi DR and gwen
byas!
I have no idea how long I've been playing
thanks Trif! I am so gratefl to my older brother for showing me the way to addiction
Bye Trif
IT says in your profile Westie
trip to France sounds great, ata!
let me go look lol
we are really lucky living so close
Took a friend to the airport today -- tonite she's seeing Placido Domingo in NYC!
I'll bet it's been there this whole time.
yes, it has : )
oh WOW!
I never look on the right
Wow- lucky her Une
she's total opera freak -- goes to NYC a LOT just for opera (and museums)
her daughter works for Continental so she can fly standby for pennies . . .
Sweet deal!
indeed!!
sweet deal, until it goes wrong and you get stuck in airports for days!
what, no points for peoria????
doesn't happen much . . . she has a password and can go online and see how full flights are in advance
Gwen :-)
lol yeah ... I can do the same for delta, and still got stuck for 4 days in PDX and 3 days in Atlanta! :P
peoria. it's RIGHT there in the grid 8-)
I have a friend who used to fly for Delta -- her parents made some amazing trips for next to nothing!
nearly, gwen ....
UGH! THAT does not sound fun
Delta is evil
I flew with Ann to NYC last year and everything went smooth as silk
my friend who works for delta even tells me now not to fly delta, even on her standby pass!
don't think I've flown Delta since I was little . . .
don't!
would never tempt me--too expensive
delta was flying directly to Atlanta from my small city, but they are discontinuing the service
now we're back to Dallas only svc. bummer
American's cut out tone of flights as well
back for the last 2 later :)
delta's great for places that can fly into atlanta, but that's it
i like driving . . .
*tons
American Eagle is what we have that flies to Dallas
me too Gwen -- but not 800-1000 miles!
me too Gwen! I won't fly unless it's unavaoidable
yep, American Eagle is what flies out of Nashville now
I can get to Dallas in an easy 3 hour drive that costs less than the flight
I keep trying to persuade best friend to drive from Oregon down to Atlanta with me, but its sooo expensive
ata, that's a looooong drive!
not scared of flying, just scared of fascists in airports (!)
I knoooow, but it would be such fun over a week!
I'm a control freak- I'm not afraid of crashing, I'm afraidn of being 30,000 fett of the ground in an enclosed space
There is nothing like a good road trip!!
if you ever drive to Atlanta, let me know -- we can definitely meet up!!
absolutely!
I'm not sure whther we're going to Dragoncon this year. We're considering the matter ....
that's in the beastly hot summertime, right?
If anyone is in the Dallas or OKC area, let me know, I would love to meet fellow babblers
yeah ... well, mid september
clues for the 7's?
currently i would be wary of a road trip -- 16yo car and not enough backup funds for a trip of any length
I'm driving to New Orleans next week... can't wait!
ooooh fun!
sh7 female pronoun + money is the **** of all evil
se7- se 4/5 + a "more" ending
tx mm!
only have one 7: tr7, one member of the state police
I have to go to a convention, but I am taking my mom and my daughter with me and we are going to spend a few extra days being touristy
tx!
ty une! I didn't have that one
ty Gwen- that completes my 7's
watching weather forecast--grrrr--we had several days of 60 and 70s and now we're going to have a hard freeze!
cut my first jonquil today!
se sh tr and ?
the other 7 is a to7 that has to do with something with engines
got it, thanks!
take to*gone and add the "double letter" on the grid and a plural ending
ty, i have all the 7s now too 8-)
must take pups out before the storm hits . . . BBL
glad you all got that without my clue, because it sucked big time LOL
later une!
I didn't get it
me know nothing about engines, but having a dad and two brothers do help one fill in the gaps
let me think a sec
to7, plural of to6, twisting power. make sure you use a high-scoring letter
to*nado+ the 5 point tile and a two letter plural ending
ah, I was looking in the wrong direction
thanks
8-D
that was a humdinger to try and clue :-)
yes it was, tks
it occurs to me tornado must have the same root as t06, since they both twist... hmmmm
interesting idea!
we don't like to say the T word here in Oklahoma LOL
you mean cyclone? ar ar
* What kind of flower grows on your face? * Tulips.
ty BR! :-) My son is going to love that one
evenin babblers!
BR, you remind me of one of the dirtiest jokes I ever know, which I knew way before I "got" it
hi eva
book doctor would that be the one about nuts?
magazine-you just gave me a start as I looked over at the chat and saw you saying hello to Eva when I hadn't said I was here. Then realized it was my alter ego evanadine
thanks for acknowledging my existence, mom. :)
nope, it goes: What's better than having roses on your piano?
aria
sorry
pass
*suffering Eva confusion* :-)
Answer: (Wait, Are the kids still in the room?)
tukips on your organ
tulips
(Okay, Kids are gone?)
jean, you stole my punchline!!!! AAAAUGH
Having tulips on your organ!
*groan* that is bad on several levels LOL
sorry, thought we were allowed to guess
just a bit of musical humor to pass the time . . .
what's the difference between a violin and a viola?
. . .
Lurking Esprit is quick to the dirty punchlines!
a viola burns longer. Ar ar ar
well i will keep you guessing on this one - if nuts on the wall are called walnuts, on the chest are called chestnuts - what are nuts on the chin called?
teabagging???
ack
Gwen!!
I was chastised Uni, so I'm zipping it
y'all are shocking my virgin ears...(or I guess eyes in this case) LOL
hey i thought all the kids had left . . . 8-)
I hate to say this but I don't get the viola joke
Violas are bigger, I assume.
I'm a 40 year old kid
neither do i
the viola joke is base don the idea that no one likes violas, so it is okay to set them on fire
*looks clueless at the viola joke*
um...... that's a stretch
anyone who's been in an orchestra for any length of time will get the viola joke
timing is everything then
I have trounced the t's!
everything!
roses are red; leaves are green; sugar is sweet; leaves aren't
(paralyzed by the thought that she has started a "bad joke off" in the chat room1)
*is now entering names of characters from Kim Possible- this can't be good*
oooh, a bad joke off?!?!
k21 peeks into the room...........
when we were at the opera this weekend, i pointed at the people in the boxes and asked my huband which chemical element he thought they most resembled.
he was thinking about numbers of electrons or something and i said, no, bauxite! they are bauxites!
(ack, hurshy said a word!!!) lol
May I please have a clue for qu5-18? Thanks.
LOL Hursh
qu5 rhymes with your lower limb
For that, peach, get in line! (that's a clue)
qu5/18= a long wait
(ack, wrong clue, please ignore!)
poor gwen - so much acking
hairball perhaps?
*faintly* ack!
quitting with 15 to go. took stressful in here LOL

Well, y'all, I sweated blood for those qu's, but I finally got them...thanks for all your clues.

Hi there, is there such word as torque?
yes there is, it
it's in the grid
very quiet in here tonight!
It says I have entered the word but it hasn't registered it. :(
refresh?
cheers! that worked :)
it is the solution to many babble woes.
heep
uriah
sorry, wasn't meant to write that! lol
you are not in america, then, i think.
nope, playing in London England
i suspected as much.
we americans, being egocentric, say "i didn't mean to...", whereas you brits, being diffident (is that the word i want?), ascribe destiny to an external locus
now you're probably wondering about the flag. wishful thinking, you see. it explains so in my profile.
my friend spoke about this game and I was intriqued. Don't think I will find all the words. Am struggling already!!!
who is your friend? atalante? haz? fmitch?
So does that mean you were originally from the UK?
no, unfortunately not.
Nope a woman called Lorna, don't know what she calls herself on here though.
Have you ever visited?
yes, in the summer of 2006
What did you think?
i thought it was expensive but otherwise lovely :)
my sister-in-law married a brit and just recently changed over her citizenship. lucky.
Definately expensive round the London area but if you go further up north, New Castle/ Manchester way it gets a lot cheaper.
i went to newcastle - even there, things cost the same number of pounds as they would dollars here, and since the pound is worth twice as much...
Not so lucky with the weather though! lol :)
my favorite places that i saw were leeds castle, and oxford.
i sat in on part of a trial at the old bailey, that was cool too.
Oxford is gorgeous, a typically quaint British area.
Oxford is gorgeous, a typically quaint British area.
Wow, does sound good, I got into the Houses of Parliament a couple of years back, that was pretty amazing.
all my favorite books are british, so lots of places and things there were kind of familiar to me before i went, which made it more special and different than visiting other places
oh, yes, i went to the house of commons too but there were hardly any MPs there and they were discussing something that was completely uncontroversial
Have you read any of the Miss Marple books?
all of them.
Cool, I have only watched the series.
the newest series, or the older ones?
the new ones, with geraldine mcewan, take... erm... liberties with the books
The old ones, it was a treat to watch with my mum and dad. Meant that I was in bed past my usual bed time :)
ahhh, nice
on this side of the pond we did that with columbo.
Used to watch that with my Grandma. :)
"...one more thing..."
Do you know Poirot?
yes, i've read all of those, too.
i've read everything christie wrote except the romances she wrote under the name mary westmacott
What about Cadfael?
what's cadfael?
It's another mystery series. Not written by Christie, set in the 16th century I think. It's British based in a monastery. My Dad really likes the series. I'll have to find out the author.
i think someone may have mentioned them to me. it sounds a little familiar.
i tend to only read fiction by authors who are dead, except when it comes to children's fiction.
oh NO
what?
the dtv switch was supposed to happen this month and i think they have pushed it back until june, blah. 4 more months of annoying commercials about that.
okey dokey, don't know what that is :s
all american television is going to become digitally broadcasted.
i think you guys are already all digital.
I think the majority are, yep.
everyone here is too unless they still have rabbit ears. which is only old people. basically, who are horribly confused by the whole thing.
have you ever managed to complete the whole board?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMeaX8K z2TM this is a funny video about the digital transition
yes, i do the whole board every day, barring exceptional circumstances
I should be so lucky!
you know about the list?
what list?
visit the link "lickety's babble clues" at the bottom of the page. you'll be glad you did.
Cheers, just had a look. Found it a little confusing but am sure I will get the hang of it.... eventually.
greetings from calgary

hi pav...you can do it!!!

thx BR! :)
Oh, I have to tell you my Babble news...
...I haven't used MW or anything else beyond the grid and/or Lickety's list since Xmas!!!
Does that mean I'm a senior addict???
you are a babble maven
* grin *
there is so much hurt and anger and cynicism and belligerence in this world to simply enjoy the challenge of the babble word chase is a welcome respite
well said!
Pav must be respiting... ;)
Sadly, I may not make it to the flip...burning out here...so I'll bid you all g'night until the 'morrow...
you are leving...
Obviously.. I need to go to bed as well since I forgot how to spell
GNight my dear Pini
( if you are still he4)
you know a babbler is from the Pac NW when they get firwords or firweeds as a reward for finishing... hello anyone who's still around. can clue if desired.
Hi Stid
Hi all! :-)
Hi BLue
19
cmon Pav!
clues needed?
wow. thought I was alone, so had wandered off...
LOL
how are you doing DR? pretty soggy down there, I am told (by my aunt in Pismo)
sh7?
sh 7: female pronoun + tree anchor
it sounds a little like a word for cigar
Hello all
yes.. it finally stopped raining this afternoon
Hi Jilli
hey jill! just got home from the kid's concert tonight. a mass band concert of all the local middle schools. A lot of fun.
I did finish a little while ago if anyone needs clues
thanks Stid!
any time PAV. more?
Wow Stid! Darth has his High school honor concert on Sunday
that must have been quite a gathering, stid!
oh good! jill, if you are cluing, I can be a little less on the ball...
that will be so nice, DR. -- are you close enough to go? not sure where he lives, actually!
He is hoping to go to the school of performing arts next year
HE lives only about 10 miles form me.. see them often
I love the music, and the kids who play are so focused and centered. some of the kids in the audience, however... *stern mama look* if I knew who their parents were the PARENTS would have been called to task!
I know what you mean
oh, that is wonderful to live so close, DR! we don't live close to any of our children's aunts and uncles.
I think the performing arts school would be a great idea... *cue soundtrack for FAME tv show*
I grew up with cousins 2 blocks away.. we all went to school together which was good and bad
we don't have a magnet school like that for older kids -- and the middle school that is like that is private so was too expensive.
ur5?
Och aye, stid, I see ye're in Scotland today -- why?
ur+ 3 vowels
yes, my mother had a similar experience. I have always been envious of her sense of coming from "somewhere"
in order
aye, Jill -- I am taking a virtual tour of the British Isles... Wales was last week. ;-)
araia
there were 5 of them and 3 of us
LOL close, PAV... not quite
in order Pav 1,2,3
*waiting for PAV* how many more?
I'm re-reading a book called "Foreign Devils Had Light Eyes" which is about Shanghai in the 30s -- very nostalgic for me -- it's a vanished place -- all the familiar street names and such are gone. Sad for us old Shanghailanders.

all t's
sounds fascinating
ok PAv
"You can't go home again" is extremely apt for us.
I understand Jilli
my grandfather came from a town in NEbraska tht is barely there now
sorry about the typing- my fingers are tingly today
Not the same thing, DR
okay, back.
ok

tom is setting up the telescope, hoping to see the comet Lulin, which should be visible... very clear bright sky

Nice Stid
