can I have a clue for the ra7 pls?
How is Marcus, he must be about 6 or 7 now?
oh, what fun he's having, marmar!
he is great thanks. He is 7, turns 8 in September.
That was such a beautiful day and we were with three other families on a little slope near here, it was kid heaven! The snow is all gone now unfortunately, at least in our immediate area.
oh my gosh, I am monkeying some weirdies today...

That does sound like (kid) heaven
my phantom is pathogen - I so want it to be in the grid! btw, hi for a minute. i s/b in bed!
speaking of kid heaven, we are planning a few days in the black forest this summer and found this great downhill "bahn", it's 3 kilometers long, summer bobsled ride, all downhill, twisty turny...too much fun. We cannot wait!

Might get a coffee and give my concentration a kickstart. It is really muggy here for the last couple of days
awww so sorry to hear; getting flurries here again after a bit of springy weather
we are having our usual hot days high 30s i believe
we have had a bizarre winter ... snow and below zero then 60 then freezing again... like a yo yo
oh volley thats not nice
lol it makes things interesting... we have had several breathtaking days in the midst of it all - one ice storm looked like God had taken a paint brush and tipped every tree with ice; bright sunny day, and everything sparkled; another snow came down white, fluffy, clean and looked like the puffy snow you see in children's books
that picture you just painted sounds devine volley
it truly was... my hubby even noticed and took several pictures
i finally monkeyed my last *&$ #@ G

hi Ata and Hobbit
thanks for telling me Ata :))
Hi Ata & Liz, Hobbit & Oscar!
hi Lore
Hobbit did an Os impression this morning - she ate 2 plasters *facepalm*
Sorry I pinched your piccy for my icon :P
Could have been worse - Oscar ate a plastic bag yesterday *doh*
hi Lynxxx
*grins* no problem! I sent off an order for pretty postcards of it yesterday
:))
definitely could be worse, but that's pretty bad for hobbit!
She needs labrador-training to perfect her bad habits
Hi sort off
she does! we met a lovely bouncy black lab pup yesterday out in the fields. he could bounce up to my shoulder easily, and did so
hi herin
How are you
hi Herin, why sort of?
hey herin hugs
Yes Oscar is particularly bouncy, should have called him Zebedee really
Sort of as im uploading games
has megan recovered from her Not WAnting To Go To Guernsey fit yesterday?
ah I see, hows things with the fires?
We have is it called a liver Spot Spaniel?
Liz suckie
Oh God she was awful Ata :) She screamed at us all day about it and all the way home on the boat. Don't know what came over her! She was fine the minute we set foot back on the harbour here
morning all
Hi Kazz
ACER so IS a real word!
hi kazzer
oh dear ... poor girl! poor you even more!
bbl to finish last 14
see ya
It got so bad I had to nnip into a chemist and by the strongest nurofen they had lol
bye Lore :)
HI Lore too. I miss everyone
was it the boat or going to Guernsey
wow! that's - impressive
Is the Spaniels with brown markings called Liver Spot/
my son wont fly - my mum took him to Jersey when he was 8 and he sat on the plane shaking like a leaf or in the toilet - he's now 30 and has only ever been on 4 planes in total
Both Kazzer, she gets sick on the boat but she also has this thing about the fact she was born on Sark so she never wants to leave (she was only the 2nd baby born here in the last 45 years)
liver and white normally, herin
or liver roan herin
liver spots is wot us old ladies get on the backs of our hands
gosh, so all her boyfriends in the future, will have to come to sark to see her? *giggle*
LOL don't even go there Ata!!!!! She is not going out socialising until she is at least, oh, lets say 35!!!!
*grins more*
:P
well at least she won't want to go to greenland with your husband on his later adventures!
LOL or Peru with me
you'll always have a babysitter for Os while you're away. Could prove handy
I have to dash now - helping a friend with her kids birthday party for my sins. Gotta be there by 11am
bye liz
LOL Ata, you'd have to be insane to babysit Os!!!
keep those nurofen with you!
LIke i know what a dog colour is called. My neighbour has one. Dopey looking thing
Top priority Ata! Bye all, have fun *poof*
anyone got he he 6 yet?
bye de4!
lol. brown and white spots works
Pretty but dopey as. There are 4 Golden retrievers and pups in our street.
i still want a dog but i am going to get a jack russel - a small one with hoepfully black and tan patches
I love my kitties. they are nuts
he 6 == the eldest son of Priam and Hecuba; he was the husband of Andromache and the father of Astyanax. Hector was the mightiest warrior.
Hi bab
g'day
how are you?
making myself comfie in the penalty box
ty vm BR
would you like a slice of left over birthday cake?
sure!
cake???
birthday yesterday - nice choccie one - here you go - large slice
Quite a few new words for me in this one. Thanks
yummy
CAKE!
there's so much left - hubby bought me this huge giant chocolate cake - cos he said the last one before we hit the gym had to be a good one
lucky lucky lucky you!
OH Happy Birthday Kazz
51 - only 9 years to go to retire
happy birthday to kaz, happy biiiiirthday to kaz!
Cake? There's cake? That'll teach me to close chat. G'd morning Babblers! Happy Birthday Kazz!
thank very much - my mum in law sang to me as well and my son but he sang a rude song - about lookingg like a monkey but i will get my revenge
good cake! chocolate cake!
Happy happy birthday Kazz!
Hmm, chocolate.....
hi lori
*giggles* did Uni show you the video I made for her, Lori?
No Ata, but she's watched it a hundred times. You made her day. It sounds to me like you two may have been separated at birth.... :)
awwww!
she said I had to ask you about your bottle collection
Gah! Dust catchers.....
I was watching Life on Mars and I just said to the b.f that if that was me I would drop out and became a hippy
lori? worried about dust???!
I got rid of the pop bottles, but kept the older one, blue glss, milk bottles, medicine bottle that sort of thing.
Stellar typing... dust doesn't bother me unless someone makes a clean spot!
and you found them under your house?
50 left after the first sweep. Now the poopy part.
More or less, yes. Remember the days that each home just had their own dump since there was no garbage pick up?
ack my toes are being attacked
errrmmmm lol!
I also have a couple of nice jugs (make 'yer own jokes), from the days when molasses and so on was sold from barrels, and you had to BYOJ
Lori Mason Jars are brilliant for drinking out of when you need a large glass
oo-er
Nothing in it is very unusual I'm sure, I just hated to see it thrown out.
Ata its my friggen cat having a spaz
I have a few ginger beer stone bottles, I looove them. I like old bottles and stuff
you just can't throw away stuff like that. if you get bored of it, donate it to a local museum
Is that like Greens Stone wine?
no idea!
I agree Ata, stuff like that is worth keeping. I'm very sentimental that way.
I really like old ink bottles as well. Ink bottles in general I guess.
Morning Babb;e
l
HI Kris.
hi kris
G'd morning Kristine
my kitten just got his head stuck in a bag
aw , I love when they do that lol
silly boy!
brb I need oatmeal seeing as I can't have chocolate cake
I just laughed till i cried. Its a paper bag so he is safe
My kitties used to love paper bags !!
Kris how is everything?
I'm cranky , have that darn patch on again and it isnt working lol , and im waiting to hear from the social worker at the hospital about his transfer
damn. Were is himself being transfered too?
our local hospital , the one that nearly killed him !!!!
bugger
its ok though , that " dr " wont be going anywhere near Mike
i have 29 left but need to investigate the cake and some jaffo so i will be back in a bit
Later Kazz, bring the cake when you come back. :)
jaffo??!
Ata.
Ata you there?
yes
hah! Finished the right side d.
Are you aware of the Yoga pose the Triangle?
umm
Good morning all. My phantom today is apothecary.
SO help me, if I try ectopia one more time.....
G'd morning Frances
mine is pathogen
http://tinyurl.com/cye3ht This
oh ok
I managed to do that last night. Never have i done that before. HI Frances
Hello infernal. Into yoga now then?
Hi Frances. Yes I have done it for about a year now. Last night was a first.
oh that's nice!
I was very happy
Are you feeling a lot of benefit from it?
Oh yes. Wednesday is calming day
With my weight, if I tried that position I'd collapse in a great heap!
I sleep like the dead afterwoods
Gah, so many phantoms in this grid.
Frances I did weigh 112kl (240ish) pounds in 2008 now im 105k
Well done infernal. I refuse to admit to my weight. My loverboy has suggested power walking. I said I'd need a very large battery pack on my back to get much power out of me.
Frances. iTs about how you feel inside not what you look outside
.....and if I did do it it would be at about four in the morning. He just said do it then.
gotta start somewhere!
I know that infernal but there comes a time when the weight starts to take its toll........like walking up a long flight of stairs.
Frances I had a very hard time liking my self first. I did see a shrink first
And the worst thing is now I have just figured out my best friend has this thing which she has to have fatter than her people around her to make her feel better. It makes me feel about 5 feet taller knowing this
I know Ata. I am doing lots of ot5/12 walks though with the muttmeister.
Dogs are great for health
wooooot
dogs are the best
I am also looking at getting my Learners permit to drive now too
He knows I'm talking about him. He's asking for food. He knows that I have a whole roast chicken for him in the fridge - his favourite, sold of cheap in Waitrose last night.
lucky boy!
I had the best Chicken Rice with Honey, avocado and tomato for tea.
what sort is he?
He is a weimaraner/hungarian vizsla cross and is so handsome. He is eight but thinks he is a puppy. I think over a good distance he could outrun any greyhound.
how beautiful!
OH wow Frances cute
He really is gorgeous Ata. Deep chocolate brown. Unfortunately he belongs to my son not me.
sounds just *gorgeous*. whats' his name?
I think you could claim him :D
Wait for it, they called him Rizla the vizsla. Rizzie for short.
OMG. LMAO!
He is so affectionate. When he's not running he just wants to curl up with his head on your lap.
nor.
awwwwwww
At the moment he is troughing his way though a huge bowl of chicken, peas and carrots.
good afternoon all
awww
it's a hard life being a dog!
hi spritey!
Tell me about it Ata but he is worth it. I love him to bits.
Hi sprite.

*hugs* sweetie, be well
this grid hurts:/
it hits you right in the oo...
right in the egg sac:) lol
good one sprite
grin, you got it
i don't know the sac, i only know the egg itself
I must admit, with the oo and the dr clued, things go really fast!
hi hursh
as many times as that word is going to be clued today,ill probably never forget it..and it will probably never be used in a grid ever again:/
hello all, I need an O word for NBT. it must be the oo word
hey peri, happy birthday to you
it is indeed
if there is an oo word
hi
hi sprite and thanks
how is gloop not a word
the O next to the i on the bottom is the one I need
indeed
the oo + the ***rapy ill need after this grid+ ill need a **r to get to the appt
My computer isn't feeling well. I try to google something, like egg sac, and it takes me shopping. Did you know there are some great deals on egg sacs right now!?
thanks cross, never would have found that one
thanks crossy
np
now i know what the th5 means!

thank you cross, the newbie appreciates it
np:)
do the same with one less O and it's a word too, julia

along the same line, I think d**** ought to be a word too, (homage to Homer Simpson)...
but it's not
poor homer
i vision myself as part homer simpson and part frank grimes;) or grimey as we used to call him;
ok, back to not being here. should be working.... *poof*
good morning :)
bl
good morning tragic
good morning babblers :)
hi nono - it's been a half hour since we've spoken!
i noticed the chat was quite when i came in, where is everyone?
not sure...
Storm-proofing?
who's expecting storms? certainly not here
its sort just a blah day
the blah is supposed to burn off throughout the day here...
and Hi Uni, how are you?
Oohh...Nova Scotia is still under a storm watch. I suppose that only accounts for Lori, though.
i could use some sun truth be told...
yes here too tragic
(yes, hi uni)
It must be a Winnie-the-Pooh sort of day, then..
winnie the pooh sort of month i think
february is never good for the stud...
it's ok - it's almost over :)
too many birthdays here for it to be a winnie the pooh month :)
that's nice...
how many you have?
morning! what's the tone of this grid? better than the weather i hope?
three of us in immediate family plus quite a few close friends
yeah- that is really nice
good morning feather, where is your weather today
it's not looking too terrible feather, but i've been here for 40 minutes and am not at half way yet
hi feather, the grid is so so thus far but havent been at it very long
we had snow last night. ick.
not that i'm who you should go by ;)
nicholas is brushing my hair right now. awwww.
ok, gotta run to the store. bye!
lol- that was fast
bye
bye feather
since when isn't oscar a word
howdy folks
does a computer generate the puzzles?
hi Taku!
hi ts
you mean the grids, ts?
yes
Yes
need one more from that top o and all o's will be grey but it just doesn't want to be found
do we know the creator?
Dr God!
I started writing a babble-clone, so I could play offline, and grid-generation was among the more straightforward parts
of course it's dr god...lol...i'm surprised i don't know the history...
I think he was a law student at UPenn, when babble first went up
what an interesting way to have positively effected hundreds and hundreds of people...
brb -- I'm getting a lot of input lag, so I'm going to restart my browser to see if that eliminates it
yes he has certainly hooked many of us and held us captive
lol
and yes, oscar should be a word
well, and the community it's built - what an amazing thing he's done.
a lot of my students are wanting to create online games...
how do you begin learning how to create games, tragic
mornin babblers.
morning, all!
hey, ava :-)
it seems like a lot of them just found a game - became obsessed, and then started getting really involved with the community...
it is pretty impressive -- esp. given that he's (apparently) very hands-off.
*eva
good morning!
Hi, Eva
they met moderators who are essentially teaching them online
hi Eva and Une
that is great
and so they even have work shifts...where they moderate, and fix glitches as they occur - they get paid in paypal credits
hey, nono :-)
it's fascinating
wow, amazing
i wonder if it's legal...
i'm sure their parents don't know, and i also know that their parents are pissed that they're online all night
that said, i think it's great for them
I once played an online game in which, after reaching a high level of success, players were invited to write new parts to the game
oh that's awesome
I had a few friends who learned to code that way -- there were lots of experienced programmers involved, who were happy to help out.
my teens make me "nutty"
lol
sato, what kind of game was it?
Kia Ora Babble Family !! Hope all is well..... Hows the grid ??
hi aus - it's not horrible
Oh good, maybe doable for me then
though i wanted to get all the 4s done by 920 and i'm not going to be able to
Hi Aussi
it was a text-based war game, with a fairly sizable user community. That was years ago, though. It was the first place I did object-oriented programming though
Oh good, doable for me then !! (maybe :0)
Hi everyone. I finally purchased the game today and the R's are killing me... is it just me or are they weird for everyone?
Hey Nono !!
Hi, Alexis - welcome to the big-times! ;)
i'm not there yet...but congrats on the purchase :)
Congratulations on going PRO Alexis !
**Doing chair-dance to Tainted Love by Softcell**
7 year olds just let the pledge over the loud speaker...they're adorable
Awwwww....
*led
apparently our database is still down...no work we can do until they fix it...
from time-to-time it's struck me that pro just requires a one-time fee, and lasts forever. Not many games (or services) work that way
heh- nice eva :)
Hey Eva !
Hi alexis, haven't really tackled the r's yet
it's like babble appreciation day :)
am concentrating on the bottom of the grid first
Yes, Takuma. I've been playing for free for a long time now. I thought it was time to splurge and stop the free-loading
Its really cool that way Sato, (do you prefer Takuma or Sato ?)
hi Eva
generally not being able to work is a good thing... but we were really busting booty to get this project done by tomorrow -- since it is already 2 months overdue...
(i enjoy that you asked - and am interested to find the answer out)
oh, then... sorry eva
Ha, it should be a national holiday (Babble Appreciation Day)
Heh, I don't have a preference Aussie. Usually ppl use 'Tak' 'taku' or 'ts', but darn tragicstud has gone and made 'ts ambiguous
lol- i'm usually stud though
eh, its already a not-so-great day for me today... found out last night that my godmother passed away tuesday evening. :(
so sorry Eva, my condolences
oh, i'm so sorry eva...
He He He !! I call Tragic Stud just Stud, so ok, Taku it is then :0)
sorry to hear that, Eva
Oh Eva, I been through that this year..... {{Eva}}
she had a stroke a few weeks ago + her DNR stated no feeding tubes, so it has just been a matter of time... i generally feel like i have dont most of my mourning already, but its never nice news to receive...
I need to take off and finish my lecture. Good luck all!
thanks - you too
have a great day Taku
back! we ended up not going to the store, found some stir fry in the freezer. kje, i seeeeeeee you.
It is not Eva..... I know how you feel..... My Godmother was also my Great Aunt, she would have been 93 this year, so she had a good life.....
Hey Feather !
hello all
have a great Day Taku !! nice to have met you !
Hey Peri !
help with the 8's pls
PERI! Happy Birthday!
listening to the boys giggle like mad in the bedroom. always a scary sound.
thank you Une!
we are never really ready to face the end of a dear one's life Eva, no matter how far ahead we know it is coming
look at my icon for you! :-)
her husband, my godfather passed away a few years ago + she really didnt take it well. im happy that they can be together again... but really, they were more like grandparents to me, so its tough that theyre both gone now...
happy birthday Peri
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, happy Birthday De** Peri, happy Birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuu
i have to go for a bit too... have a great day (or a better day) everyone, aw, and happy birthday peri!
bye tragic!

Good Morning
the to8/50 congurs up a strange image
thanks Alexis
Afternoon all. How's tricks? What's the theme today?
not getting the to8, but looking
hi Matty
hi matty, it's periwinkle's birthday
more help with the to8 pls
oh giggle, just got it
there's another word in the grid with same ending
OK - changed my icon - happy birthday Peri!
thanks matty
still not getting the to8 :(
may I have a densa clue?
firewords
continuation of previous to4.4 peri
wtg bfsog
don't know which to4 to use, will keep looking
LOL, just found the to8, silly word
yes, isn't it
our icons look nice together, flosey
the oo7 is weird
but your's is the more true colour of the plant peri - we have quite a mass of them by the original old farmhouse
half way and stuck
not able to use babble expert
I don't think I like this grid
I'm using expert
I wish I was but for some reason it stopped working. Lickety even sent me another one and that didn't work either
makes it so much easier to play and quicker too
What is Babble expert?
oh peri, did you ever ask a computer tech why it didn't work?
no, flosey
peri: I'm in IT
oh, bfsog, one day it just stopped working, any hints?
to
Babble Expert is something Lickety created that lets you keep track of the grid, the stats, the list...you even get a little video when you finish... but you hafta email Lickety to get it, as its not part of official Babble...
Alexis, check on Resources at top of page, just above chat line, you'll find Babble Expert User Guide
Ok, thanks
The video never works for me
I am not familar with Babble Expert, but where do you run it from? A local drive or a network? Have you always run it from that location?
it came in an e-mail to me from Lickety
and I saved it to my desktop
bfsog -- since it gets emailed, i would assume its on a local drive. (translating for the non-technical) :)
okay, what happens when you open i?
thanks Eva, I had no idea
nothing happens
peri, it works with Internet Explorer, so it might help to get the latest version of IE. That worked for me when I was having trouble
it won't open
I have the latest version of IE, at least I think I do
the same thing happened to me with Babble Expert too, one day it just wouldn't open
It could have to do with virus protection/malware protection settings, also, since Expert has to call up IE in order for it to work.
If its not opening it sounds like it may be built using a newer framework. I take it you are a Windows User. Can you forward the email Lickety sent you to me?
i recently change my virus protection but it still will not open
I can't find the link to e-mail lickety
I don't have the e-mail anymore, I deleted it months ago
yes I use windows
bfsog, licketySplitAUS@gmail.com
does anyone know if there is a new version of Babble Expert, the last one I had, I think was 11
i..been lurking for a few minutes...i think it's a case of opening an executable file..
You could try disabling your Anti virus and try opening that. Remember to re-enable it though
I can ask lickety to e-mail me yet another since I have new virus protection and see what happens
i just got expert resent to me today...i can post the link, hold on
11 is the most recent version
thanks Nono
If anyone has the icon on their desktop and knows your email address they can right click and use the facility send to....
yeah your new anti virus could be blocking it peri
Anti virus, or firewall.
beautiful periwinkles pabtrek
it did not work with my old anti virus either
http://tinyurl.com/c3hjg9
I will disable my firewall and see what happens
Norma -- thats new knowledge for me...I never knew you could do that! thanks for sharing. :)
pabtrek thanks for changing your icon for me
thanks flosey
yw peri
Nice. I used the link. Thanks
did anyone see my comments? the link is at 8:49
Yeah got the link Krista
yw alexis..good bf
peri - do you have an email address i can send some instructions to? i dont want to bulk down the chat
I can still get lickety's list but it is not the same.
bbs
thanks Krista
I sent it to all sorts of people Eva and it has always worked for them ;)
my e-mail is in my profile, thanks
can you send it to me Norma, please
bbs
peri, i just posted a link!
i never realized there was an option to do that... not that im claiming to be super-techy (though, as a software tester, people seem to think i am!) but thats pretty neat-o :)
*invisble to Peri* LOL
I used it Krista and now have Babble Expert, thank you very much
I came on at the right time... Wow- Thanks Krista
I have been waiting for lickety to send it to me
DR...realized i didnt write your email address down..was going to forward the email
peri you have mail
I got it from your post-
hope I am not doing something unkosher by doing that..am wondering now if he was keeping track of who had it for testing purposes..his email says to let him know of any bugs with it
i meant earlier..remebered i told you i'd forward it..just heard from him this morning
HE will be fine.. I had it before
it is so nice to have it again
I think that it was just so that people who weren't pro didn't have unlimited access to it (as I once was told that expert is only for those who went pro). Although, I had it without pro for ages...:S
Peri did you receive it ok I emailed it to you ???
Hmm, maybe he sent it to Peri as an executable and not archive it (zip, rar, etc) some email programs quarantine executables incaseof viruses etc
i see Uni..so I prob shouldnt have posted it here
bfsog can you say that again in English lol ;o)
yes, that's what I said earlier, bf..prob has to do with the executable file, or peri didnt know how to open it..
Wow. I think I've got expert figured out and it's awesome! Thank you so much!
I wouldn't worry Krista, I have also been told the opposite - that anyone could use expert. Maybe let him know that you posted it if concern ed?
Best thing since sliced bread lol
Just feeding my addiction
lol
yes, i'll do that..i'll obsess about it now, lol
Through work we send out files to our customers and deal with lots of internet providers and its a nightmare getting the files to our customers without the email providers stripping data out of our files
Within Expert, there is a message from Lickety, encouraging people to go Pro to support Babble, so he coudn't have meant to exclude non-pros entirely
exactly, alexis..enabling us, isn't it?!
bfsog, got your e-mail, will try that later, thanks so much
Seems like we're all enabling each other
I did not use the link because I was told it would put hair on my knuckles
bye all, must go do work :(
As I understand it, expert is 'limited' out of respect to Dr God, so that people don't use it rather than pro.
oh good, that makes me feel better too, fuquay,thanks
Don't panic, Krista! Expert has been linked in babble before, and likely will be again :)
didn
that would be frustrating, bf!
no problem. it should run "as is" as there are no deliverable files with the .exe so im sure there must be some errors generating, if there is they will appear in the screen i told you about
didn't get your e-mail yet, Norma
I will try and send it again ;)
I have Macafee virus protection with firewall and can't figure out how to disable the firewall
babble had worked for me in the past, then one day it just stopped working
it will probably come soon, Norma
i was just suggesting that as a thought but it should not affect it, but worth a try
okay Uni, thanks for your support..i'll stop worrying now..*whew*
Krista- I feel like I found a lost friend!
BR...you're a mess :)
exactly how I felt, DR! and I'm going to take full advantage of Lickety Add so I dont type words in the chog anymore!!
Is this to8 a compound word?
that is what i missed the most.
yes Uni and it is a silly word
yes uni
hair outcropping is a source of acute concern!
now if Lickety can come up with something that keeps grid words from appearing here, we can eliminate the penalty box!
Aha! Tim Taylor would be one..
lol- ty BR
Eliminate the PB??? Never!
especially on the knuckles, BR..how embarrassing
you're right Uni..what fun would that be
yes, hair on my knuckles may catch on the stumps I am jumping
I HATE when that happens!
I have sent it again Peri Outlook is showing it as sent. ;o)
ok, will look for it, Norma
perhaps those in favor of change may think of the PB as the prayer box?
better pray there's choclit in there?
good idea!
I have po8 and to8, help with other 8's pls
no e-mail yet, Norma
ro8 = one who decays

random question... am i totally making this up, or does honey go alright with brie?
i don't know about honey but pear and apricot go well
well, i HAVE honey...heh
lol try a little and keep us posted
Baked Brie With Honey and Pecans recipe from GroupRecipes.com. Oozing and scrumptious!
baked? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I would think it would almost work
its not baked brie, but i had a little brie + honey on a toast cracker + its quite nice!
im usually not really a fan of brie, but i think i like it better with the honey...heh
oh what you are doing to me with the brie discussion *adds brie to mental grocery list*
ok break over, have fun everyone, and when peri comes back please pass on my birthday wishes
have a good one, jacq
heh, sorry. my friend/coworker gave me a little round of brie with some toast crackers + ive had it all in the fridge at work + just pulled it out...
*adores brie*
she also have me a little sliver of Morbier cheese -- anyone had it?
no, but if it's cheese I would probably love it
lt
im with you, mom! im not cracking it open yet, since i have the brie open...but im looking forward to it!
cheese is one of my downfalls
Morbier is a semi-soft cows' milk cheese of France named after the small village of Morbier in Franche-Comté. It is ivory colored, soft and slightly elastic, and is immediately recognizable by the black layer of tasteless ash separating it horizontally in the middle. It has a rind that is yellowish, moist, and leathery. Traditionally, the cheese consists of a layer of morning milk and a layer of evening milk. When making Gruyère de Comté, cheesemakers would end the day with leftover curd that was not enough for an entire cheese. Thus, they would press the remaining evening curd into a mold, and spread ash over it to protect it overnight. The following morning, the cheese would be topped up with morning milk. Nowadays, the cheese is usually made from a single milking with the ash added for tradition.
that was from Wikipedia
I don't know about hoey but definitely goes with Heinekin! Hello all. I have 43 left, ONE row grey and only 2 boxes greyed besides. Tough or just nasty?
honey
g'day, tceicher
hi
hmmm... I might find that ash things kind of squicky
tough hootowl
hi tc
morbier is GORGEOUS
thanks bfsog
anything its similar to, ata?
hello, hootowl
i love cheese, but im really not very cheese-literate
um. port salut / chaumes ish
hi Br
but morbier is much nicer
clues for the 8s plz
hrm. dont know either of those...i only know the generics, really...heh but im excited to try it!
ro8 = to decay, re8 = to learn again
to8 = item in a shed plus part of human body
That to is me & my BF!
more info found on google for morbier cheese Today, the dark band is more for decoration and may not be a real ash layer, unless it is made in the traditional manner of years past. The cheese can be bland and very mild to sweet and fruity in flavor with a pungent yeast-like aroma. Morbier cheese can be served as an appetizer on crackers or with chutney added to enhance the flavor. It is a good cheese to serve on crackers or with bread served fresh or melted over the bread. And, it also serves well on grilled foods. Raclette cheese can be used as a substitute if desired.
if someone who smokes marijuana is a PO7, then someone who is addicted to hammers and screwdrivers is a TO8
thanks Dr and jaq for the birthday wishes
YUP!
wow, morbier and raclette cheese are nothing like each other!
missing one of the 8
Happy Birthday Peri!!!
Happy Bithday Peri
happy birthday peri!!!
dr 7 -- d + a red flower with thorns; and egyptian sun god
need another clue for the re8

thanks, Ata, hootowl and magmom!!
re + kids go here to do a,b,c's
ty bf
thanks got the re8

some of the 8s are rather elitist
Peri try emailing Lickety ... licketySplitAUS@gmail.com ... perhaps she will have better luck
*just realized im looking for 8s when i have all of them*
hints for the A in the left column?
ok
*psst, Norma -- Lickety is a HE ;)*
thanks for trying, Norma

I might win one ..
I know, it's distressing, but they are on the fit kids thing, so cookie now only gets cookies as a rare treat
you just might

So what's new at the Pricipal's office today, Tragicstud??
i am to start doing groups with the kids "to get to know them"
my boss's head is so far up her ass it's astounding she can speak without it smelling
I haven't actually seen the new version of cookie. My kids are too old, but I read about it somewhere
tragic sounds like she was separated form my boss at birth
how old are the kids, tragic?
Groups. Wow, that's original. zzzzzzzzz
youngest is 6 oldest is 22
ok
thanks Annie - saw that clue first time around and couldn't get it - couldn't get my head away from Agri
groups are a fine idea for some of the kids in the school... it's just that i'm the only counselor... there's not enough time to do all of the things that i need to get done
why do kids have to emulate tv characters...where are the parents?
my kids watched sesame street...they aren't over weight because i set down rules about sweets!
precisely phae!
Doesn't the principal want to know them? Maybe she can do the groups? Providing of course, that she pulls her head out of her arse first. First impressions and all...
the problem with getting the 4 letter words first is that they're the only ones i can get!
where are the words hiding in this grid?
That's a secret onyx ;-)
cookie is a *character* he is meant to be fun to watch... he is not a role model
ooh and here i am on the outside again
yeah - judi - she "knows the kids..."
she is perfection
right...putting the blame on the wrong entity...parents are too busy to parent
onyx, you just oo5!
she talks to them...i couldn't possibly understand what's going on with any of them...
i hate to say this, but...maybe parents getting laid-off will allow them more time to spend with their kids
my bad. didn't know that was a word, and i've been playing long enought to know better
I have certainly plopped my kids in front of the TV when they were younger, and I've fed them fast food more than once or twice, but in the long run, they know what healthy eating is and who is in charge at our house :-)
onyx didn't oo5 the whole oo5 :)
ty onyx- I hadn't gotten that one yet :-)
: )
My kids eat healthier now than when they were growing up
I was so thrilled when they put a fruit and veggie bar in at the school! My kids now love raw broccoli and they eat other things I had trouble convincing them to eat at home. Peer pressure can be a good thing
that's just how things work, i tried to keep my son from eating junk and that is all he wants now that he can make those choices, hopefully he will outgrow this
schools are wising up and taking out the soda machines and feeding kids healthier meals
Salad bars are such a great idea in schools. I remember when they put ours in years ago (the 80
the 80's - yes, I'm old). The lines were longer for the salad bar than the regular caff food.
when my son was at the store with me and asked me to buy broccoli, I nearly fell over
guys seem to have a hard time of eating healthier than girls...it's a macho thing
They had to enlarge it after about two weeks. The greenery was being decimated before everyone in the line got through.
Oh man, in the 80's we just went to Sonic or McDonald's and had a Diet Coke everyday for lunch
bl
c'ya peri!
The caff line servers were shocked. They all had this look about them like, "what are we supposed to do with all these Tater Tots?"

I just realized. I'm getting my wrist operated on on Fat Tuesday. I should get lots of beads for that.
what is Fat Tuesday?
mardi gras
Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Lynxxx. Another pointless American (regional) holiday. An excuse for a party really.
pancake day!
Parades, costumes, beads, floats, drunken debauchery. The usual.
Much like St. Patrick's Day. Only without a Saint.
it was originally a holiday to celebrate wildly before the Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday
but it's not pointless ...
lol
it's the day before the start of Lent, so you party madly
Now people just use it as an excuse to party wildly
and show off their ta-tas
Doesn't Mardi Gras coincide with Carnivale in the Carribean and points thereabouts?
even the men?
LOL, Ata. Especially the men!
yes Judi...
hey I enjoy a good pair of man b**bs as much as the next girl LOL
I've never been, but I've heard it's an "anything goes" free-for-all.

Heya red ..
Hi, I know the House is trying really hard, but...it has nto sold yet.
well, shoot, red...give it a bit more time; I'm sure it will sell itself!
(unless, of course, it really likes its present mama!)
I ignore it horribly. SO I think new owners would be best.
Do you think House will figure that out when the weeds start to take over?
oh no, the lawn guy comes by regularly.
how about when House can't see out of its eyes (windows)?
Hmmmm..
(was comparing your house "leaving" to my daughter "leaving" - although she left and has boomeranged back)...
I hope I dont have to boomerang back, BUt I think I may have to the way things are moving at the snail pace
I was just thinking that after it goes, you definitely don't want it to boomerang back to you!!!!
It's my biggest bit of stress right now.
oops...sorry, red...I'll not mention it again until it's gone! :)
...and on that note, I'd better get outta here and back to work!
Good luck, Red...see everyone later tonight! ;)
Oh Bye Pinik, you can mention it any time.
Tally ho, word slingers!
Hello everyone
Heyas kids ..
hah the to8 cracks me up
I just want everyone to know that I am in the process of making pot roast for dinner, and it smells so amazing I would eat it right now if the meat were cooked enough. Y'all are missing some serious good food.
Yum ..
sound delicious
Mmmm. Sounds good, Leigh. And I don't even like pot roast!
Oh, you would if you had mine. ;)
I think I have to change the battery in my wireless mouse. It seems to have a mind of its own right now.
Oops. Looks like two batteries. Doubt we have any spares in the house. Drat!
I probably would like your pot roast, Leigh. Food always tastes better when someone else cooks it! :)
We're having fish filets for dinner. I really should be making my collard greens right now (before I eat the rest of the bacon I've been saving for it).
Mmmm ..collard greens ..
may sound really dumb but what is collard greens?
Yeah, Tor. I could eat a bucket full. I would probably regret that though.
It's a traditional southern green, Louise. Although I'm not southern and don't really live in a southern state, they sell them here and they are really cheap. So, it's a delicious, healthy veggie that's easy to make.
cool, is it a bit like spinach?
Tall, wide leafy dark green with a fairly firm stem. It is a bit like spinach only heartier I'd say. I cook it up until it is tender in a bit of chicken stock and milk. Then add bits of bacon and a sprinkling of salt and vinegar.

Bob and Doug MacKenzie are from a classic Canadian sketch which I realized has probably never aired in the States, because we get American programming but not the other way around.

Schwing! Not!

May have made that up..but middle english is interpretation anyway
Oh no Krista...SPCA getting involved is drastic measure, yeah?
are there 2 tr7's?
Three tr7. Two similar, one married.
3
Wow. Our SPCA won't come out unless the dog is restrained. Does that make any sense?
i didnt call them, but they parked right in front of our house, but they'll know we didnt do it..it's a recurring thing will all of their animals
That sounds like a nasty situation for the animals.:(
oo7?
last word in the grid is a tr 7/36
my yard is their animals' latrine, and they let the animals out all night when it's very cold out
oo 7 - add definite article and auto: **r
well at least i know i have the last word!
Definitely sounds like a bad situation for the animals. I try to avoid judging what I don't know, but perhaps it is best that SPCA have the animals?
the other two are side by side

No buyers yet. It's sort of a mess, because seems the travel industry has totally dried up too.
dang, sorry to hear that. :(
So, I sort of have to sort out some things, I am in a bit of a panic! but there is a couple interested still in the house, people are jsut being cautious.
well at least you've had some interest. I've talked to folks recently who got no showings at all.
I think in the end it will be alrght, I have a great realtor, and everyone is in the same boat.
and there still are people buying, after all, just not as many
po 7/36 clue pls?

Haven't seen her here in a while. Is anyone watching the office? It's a re-run (not in the grid today) and it's hilarious.
Hi, kadresa

Hello all.

hi scrabbs!
hi all. hey cousin! how are you doing? week's almost over...
oo+ and apo*****ry is an old-fashioned druggist
hi stid!
Hey Stid!
hey car! where have you been? missed you the last few days.
oh, this grid is a bear!
I must be spelling it wrong...
Oh! TY Stid! I have been on during the days, but not so much at night.
how the hay did scoop get to 20?
got it!!! thx!
off to list I go!!!!
Hi Stid--yep, I have to work tomorrow then Saturday THEN I can cross-country ski on Sunday, with all of the new snow we are getting creamed with now.
She's been working on it most of the day and I took over after dinner
ah, and I have been on at night... somehow napping during the day has meant I really can't sleep until late. *shrug*
Feeling OK, Stid?
yes, and I have a college degree! sigh
I am past 100 words now and I think I will list. another couple minutes, then I will head out to check supper.
go stid go!
re6 after the first re8?
I am better Scrabbler. This is a hard flu to shake. Today was the first day I had some stamina all day long, but I still took a nap mid-afternoon.
nm. means to replace part of one's shoe
are your hips particularly creaky, stid?
thanks. hope you are doing okay. I always worry about my friend-the-doc this time of year, but she never seems to catch the bugs.
Oh Stid! I didn't know you were sick! {{{hugs}}}
LOL tri! actually yes... Tom's chair collapsed under me the other day (a screw came loose, I didn't splinter it)
Stay hydrated and stay rested!
Geez, Stid
but not due to the flu? Primos' hips and knees are killing him.
I need that one too Fuq!
and this time, we are making SURE he stays full o'liquids
yes ma'am, I am doing my best. except the hydration today, because the tea I made this morning didn't appeal.
did you see my clue, car? I found it after I asked for it
That's it...field trip to Stid to take care of her!
even if his tummy doesn't like it....he is ridiculous when he bokes. Opera.
no tri, I was in bad shape this time last week though. Spent three days huddled in bed supported by pillows watching old Xena shows on my laptop.
LOL car!
TY Fuq1
I need help with the AC 5/14 after the AC 7 please
I am all cool for the field trip, but not in February!!!
Don't have it yet Stid!
Wimp!
and the AS 6 if you please, I am up all the way to 112.
*sigh* very slow today.
LOL, stid. there are two and one is pains that you have with the flu, and the other is the noise you make when you sneeze
as**** into heaven (so to speak)
Second tr 7/36, anyone?
thanks pini... probably won't apply to me. *wicked grin*
* giggle *
ac5 = sound of a sneeze
Wow, I'm actually ahead of you for once, stid! (just by 2, 114 so far)
Hi, everybody!
y'all are gonna pass me...stid's a master at that!! :)
don't have it yet, jimmel
jimmel, take the last letter off the previous tr7 and put on the plural consonant instead
hi jbs
One ends in a double vowel, Jimmel. The other is the plural
hello JB! well you'll stay there because I need to get up for a few minutes and stretch and get a class of water (since Scrabs reminded me)
156 to go and I am getting sleepy. I will stay a bit longer.
Yes, stay hydrated, dear!
Hi JB
Aha! Thx, car!
Hi, Scrabbler!
i have only 48 to go, but grey's keep sucking me in....
Oooh, Trif! It's on! I have 41 to go!
woot woot!!! I have ONE TR!!! out of 9...oy
Word fight! Word fight <ducking>
I was flipping thru channels and saw a bit of Grey's Anatomy--I had to leave during the OR silliness.
te7 anyone?
hello stid! a quick hello, because I have to leave for a meeting. Won't finish (snif). Do get better, friend.
Scrabbler, what were they doing that was silly? (professional curiosity)
let me guess, fighting over scapels?
scalpels, sorry
Removal of frontal lobe vs save baby, 2 surgeons arguing when lives are in the balance.
te7= t+ a b**** is what you sit on in the park, plural
Help with the dr 6/27, please?
god won, in the end.....
thx fq
What happened?
Hmm, they don't do that in your OR? <wicked grin, a la stidmama!>
rhymes with what you sit on in the park, jimmel
she just up and died. father took a nutty and called derek a murderer.
thx again fq
when of course, we know he is a Mer/Der-er
Well, surgeons DO have healthy levels of confidence, that is for sure.
to 6/24?
Oh, my, only 5 to go and didn't see that one??? Yikes! Thx so much, fuquay!
You mean (gasp) what they do on the TV show isn't like real life? My whole perspective on life just changed!
Yes, that they do, Srabs!
TV medical shows are highly unrealistic! I cannot watch much of them.
fireworks!
wtg fq!!!
Yahoo Fuquay!
way to go fuquay!!!!
YAY fuquay!
okay, Tom has the cornbread in the oven, the baked beans look (and smell) good, so I cna...
My husband and I have watched House with mouths agape at all the hijinks. Imagine, those fellows do EVERYTHING from MRI's to brain surgeries!
Whoo hoo, Fuquay!
right column grey! yay!!!
Yeah Fuq!!!
oh, wow, stid...sounds like you have a great guy there!
what? House isn't real?!
Snuggle up in that comfy afghan and put on your warm slippers, stid - get all better soon! {{{stid}}}
oh, scrabbler, now you would LOVE grey;s - doctors in white coats fighting in the hospital - fists flying
be still my heart!
thanks for help, everyone. off to bed for me. happy babbling and good luck to all. first tr6 ends with a vehicle.
Yes, JB, and they are lab techs and draw the blood and ...
oh drat... stidkid needs to be picked up. thanks JB. I will be back in 30 minutes or so. I hope.
hb stid
Oh, Shirl, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but I just found out that TV isn't real, either.
(and be careful)
Put on the down coat, stiddy, it's COLD out there!
* gasp * if TV's aren't real, what is that box across the room that makes noise?
I watched Grey's Anatomy frequently for the first 2 yrs and that was enough for me. By then everyone had shared their body fluids with everyone else.
hey guys
hi cherly
Hi cherly
Thanks, fuquay - I should know THAT tr!

oh, hey, scrab, did you happen to see my little daughter on here last night? I let her type a few lines, and she was so so so chuffed with herself!
not sure who she spoke with....
Anyone need clues (which I am not great at BTW) before I go to bed?
tertian was on last night?
I saw her for a moment...she was cute! :)
Sure do appreciate all the good clues! Not good at giving them myself...everyone beats me to it!
could you phone me and read me your list, kad?
Yep, I saw her Trif--she was doing textspeak ala teenager
thanks pini! troll like, or a good witch?
yes he is dawg...4 honor bands in 4 years, and an audition for music school next week. plus he gets to audition for an adult jazz ensemble in the next couple of weeks also
she is just 9....
wow! i'm really impressed, dan.
howdy all! a bad couple of days...and this looks horrendous..!
Hi Pav
How old is Darth now?
lbdawger, how cool are you???!!! Can't believe you remember that!
((PAV))--doing OK?
Good luck, PAV3!
I'm going to be poor though...anyone have a proffesional sax for sale...cheap?
darth will be 15 on March 1st
Trif, there are some things my little trivial brain latches on to that boggles the normal brain
dan, seriously run do not walk to ebay - they have amazing deals on instruments!
have had amazing luck with them
<-- sorry, not instrumentally inclined ;(
How wonderful when a child discovers a special talent and passion!!
wish i could help you out dan. i have an old plastic recorder you can have
<----NO musical ability! (I do listen to music)
used it to torment my dogs.
I've been checking e-bay...he needs a better one than i can afford on there. I've been calling southern CA musicians unions to see if someone is/has retired and is selling their instruments
I played (er, I mean faked) clarinet in high school!
you might consider touching base with dcseain...he's a professional musician...
LOL dawg...our pups like to listen to Darth play, and they are the only ones he lets listen to his practicing
I tried flute, piano, guitar and piano--eyes, brain, fingers and ears couldn't do any of them.
i'm a great tormentor when it comes to musical instruments. i can make sounds the instrument was never intended to make!
work is sticky...I had to prepare a $2MM transfer today to "help bail the State out"..aka raiding of funds, especially when we don't have the $..otherwise the Mac is fine..haven't been able to do much with the Win side of things, and then last night i couldn't get hte Mac to start. Had to call Apple support this am, and reached an Indian (as in not native american)- I guess even Apple has outsourced their support...and other than rebooting the Mac he wasn't much help... still have issues but they'll be cleared in due time...
so you re6ed to being a doctor???
Darth plays clarinet (3 kinds)...wants to add 3 kinds of sax to his resume now
(scrabbs?)
7 years at piano, and the teacher swore i could play the notes inbetween the keys
I played clarinet - which my mom bought me as a bd gift for 6th grade band..I was hoping for flute or piccolo, you know the lighter stuff...!
hello
hi harp
flute...first chair...
HARPPPPPPP
hi harp! i do have perfect pitch, and that drives me nuts when i listen to music
wow, danf...impressive...sound like my youngest brother - self taught strings player...6 and 12-string guitar, ukelele, madolin, banjo, etc...
nice sistah!
she is really, really good at musical anything, pinin
you have a reall talented sister!
by the 7th grade, several of us top rank were sabotaging our instruments 'cuz the band instructor smoked and when he "borrowed" our instruments, they were returned with a huge distaste...if the clarinets didn't play, except on challenge days, he couldn't "borrow" our instruments. We were of course sent to the principal'
oh, steve from sex and the city is on ER
office because he found out what we were doing.
My computer froze up. I discovered my talents and abilities.
That comment is in reference to Pini.
still getting use to the Mac keyboard having its own way...!
* giggle *
eewww, i don't think i'd want that teacher blowing into any wind or brass instrument
I understood, scrabbs! :)
darth picked out clarinet for 6th grade...I bought a beginner, and he outgrew it in 6 months...has always been the youngest clarinet player in his bands...he is the only 9th grader in the district high school honor band this year. I am very proud of him, but get nervous anytime he starts a convo with "a conductor listened to me today and..."
Howdy! :-D
howdy blue!
annnnnd doctor carter is BACK!
In 4 minutes all church bells in this Buffalo area will toll 50 times, for each of the victims of the plane crash 1 wk ago. :-(

Hi Trifioso :-) Dan, I LOOOOOVE Calvin & Hobbes! Nice icon :-)
a nice tribute, for a sad occassion, scrabs
back. (((scrabbler)))
He was "asked" to use his own clarinet; mid year I was "asked" to play the bassoon, which I loved to do, except for the carrying issues...great instrument!
YAY and hello danf

I could use a hot flash now so that my toes would warm up.

remember I type very fast pini -- I probably don't find words that quickly, but make up for it by not looking at the keyboard.
thought i tried that! thx
oh, gosh, I don't know, lbd!
Stid, if I look at the keyboard to type, I won't be able to type!
what's your wpm speed?
(I type fast, too, just can't find the words)
Ls licked...
re5/14 please
hiya ru
I don't know pini. never took a class since 4th grade. about 100 wpm I suspect. If they are words I know. When I have to look at a text I am unfamiliar with the speed goes down until my fingers are used to the patterns the author uses.
i can't type if i look at the keyboard either. and when i work with my students, it's proof positive that i can't type at all!
hi all
re5/14:to stretch for something you want rururocks
re*** for the sky!
I don't type quickly or look at the grid == random forays
hey ruru!
I soooo know what you guys mean...
hi ru
thank you... couldn't see it
today was monopolized by thanatomania
Hi rururock! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hi again, all
omg! I only have 8 words! I know I didn't play very long this morning before work, but I didn't realize I got so few words!
hm. ne 5 please?
yw
I was a legal word processor for about 6 years....at one point they clocked me at over 120 when I tested on an IBM selectric (and had to remember the RETURN key)!
hey pam! (((hugs)))
i'm dyscalculic, but i can do the 10 key really well. go figure!
(((hugs))))
hi Pam

That ne 5/12 word is ne plus not bottom stidmama.

wow pini! I could NEVER do that.
dyscalculic?
hi, lbd
1st re 6/21?
re not the toe, ruru?
numbers don't make a lot of sense to me, the symbols actually don't make sense to me
The re 6/21 word is re plus an he 4/5 word rururocks
add a consonant after the re5.12, ru
have that.. need the other I guess
thanks, lbd. I didn't want to go to the dictionary....
hi all
sorry, ruru, don't have it then...
ruru, one is plural of the 5.12, the other is like the place where the preacher lives minus the y
RE 6/7 after what I do with books?
