I knew that.. just jiving you...
I just know how sensitive Cancerians can be
nite hugs...
oh is he a cancer?
what the??? invisi*lifts???
the genuine article
strangely almost all my dearest friends are or have been
Cancerians are intense
of course Met is #1
My mom is a cancer
but honest & loyal to the bone
He is a cool guy and very funny
very tender hearted in spite of the "crabby" exterior
he is a hoot
really? he is always having a good tiem here
time
he can be but those of us that know & love him get a kick out of it
wish he would chat more.. he sparks up the chat
wonderful sarcasm & the like
too bad you live on the west coast I bet you 2 would be fast friends
probably right..I have plenty of friends like him... I love sarcasm and joking around.
although being the handsome devil you are he might try to seduce you
yeah .. right...
Hello all
there's my fireworks! night all!
pr8/50 no definition, or is that just ENABLE?
Hi jilli... you made it..
wtg mag!!!
trust me dear I know these things,we're "sisters" after all...

bet you know him better than anyone
my beloved Metfan
hi everyone
pretty much I'd say
oh -- I didn't think he was crabby
fireworks
hi flosey ;)
I hadn't noticed
not socially he's a riot
wtg mixi!!!
hi jilli
Has everyone finished already?
he's crabby because he is a Cancer and he can't help it
lol
many of us have jilli
We are all at one left and waiting for you jilli
oh, I see -- thick head here again
well, I haven't even started yet
so hurry up already...
its a form of defense all cancer have built in because they are so tender hearted
phantom -- nectar
just entered my first word
hmmmm
its a way of "screening out" the shallow assholes of the world
I get it...
I have never met a cancer... I must be one of the assholes of the world
Well I should head out.. I have a big day tomorrow driving.. take care everyone and have a fun game.. see you tomorrow.. night pugs nice chatting with you
anyhow my dear babble clan time to go flop,Happy babbling & see you all tomorrow !

hi there BR
hello, flosey
hello all. still here. unfortunately the wind has picked up, and the fire activity has increased.
hi grannyrose
hey flosey
Hi Rose. And more to come probably. The smoke up near you must be awful. How are you coping with it all?
Hello everyone
late late flip
hi Dart
I left for a bit -- back now
mother mac nbot so good. have had to increase her ventolin. MM and i are ok. bags packed, and will remain that way until after friday.
hi lynxxx
hi Dart
hey dart
hi dart, lynxxx, rose, babrab and yay aaronsmom!
hi flos granny
hey jilli
hiya jilli
Good luck to you all Rose. It must be awful on the nerves being so close. My brother near you got away last weekend - know he was feeling the pressure
how near lynxxx? the fire was on the other side of the hil to us. very scary!!!
Not that close! My God!! he is at the back of Boronia. Have you got somewhere to go to if you have to?
yes, lyn. my mother has rung and offered us refuge if necessary. she's in black rock
Oh good! my v small spare bedroom would have been a bit crampy! Take care won't you - now I have someone else too worry about. We have friends deep in the hills up from Warburton
yes lyn, that's very concerning. i have the next 2 days off, then MM is taking friday off. so, we're covered. thank goodness my roster is so flexible.
I'll be thinking of you all.
can't imagine marysville gone, can you"
a bit of history gone forever
* sigh * you got that right!!!!
a lot of our motorcycle rides wound through the kinglake-murrindi area. it will be very strange to see them so changed.
BBL Stew wants out - or something
Hi all - I've been in the grid, up for a breather
ioar
whoops
hi birdeee
hi jilli

Thanks granny!
YAY dart -- was that about 10 minutes?
Thanks to you I now am NBT
wtg birdee
I took too long, birdeee :(
about 23
same as freep i guess
sheesh, dart!
fairly normals words on this one...or babblets i've seen
I really don't know how you can possibly do it so fast with no stats or anything
think if I was looking at blank tiles etc..would hamper my play
now ther speaks a true babble fanatic
when you are used to tangleword giving you 2 whole minutes..and scramble giving you three minutes...this seems like a long time lol
well, I'm the slow-and-steady type
see patterns after a while...and know the owrds are there
words
gonna run nite all and good luck
nite dart
s'long dart and congrats!
bye granny pooof

night jilli & birdeee
i just teased the cat. Gave him 2 bits of steak he ran off with one and when he came back i ate it in front of him.
the one he stole?
No i gave him 2 pieces he ran off with one piece then he came back for the second piece I ate it in his face he was like but that was mine.
I personally adore your vehicle, BR! :D
can't get the pe words at all
You used to use one in your country

& %s
ty lynxxx
sn, 4/5 please
Thanks Lynxx I just got that
sn4.5 is at the bottom s msilver, you can get iut by counting
I'''m goin back 2 bed, see u all later
iut?
typo - it
bye Katie - enjoy the sleep in
nite, Katie!
lynxxx it's only 4 letters though
Hi
I guessed and got it
sn4.5 ....4 letters with a total tile score of 5, so one of the tiles needs to have a point value of 2 - there is only one tile at the bottom with a value of 2
If you can have inert why can't I have nert?
Do you see how you could get it by counting the points on the tiles? it will help you in the future
well you can't have nert but you could have nerts - pity it isn't there
OH I didn't know that
nerts = nuts or crazy
o ta
BBL
yay, fireworks and off to bed! good luck all!

hi all :)
gm Babble
morning ata & Kristine
16lb so far, Kitt!
well done ata, you have overtaken me now :-)
ar5 clues please
yeah, but yesterday I ate vast amounts of dim sum and wine, so I don't think much is going to happen this week!!
ar5 - add a writing instrument
Thanks Haz :-)
haz gets there while I'm half way through trying to clue it!
You're welcome. Good morning/evening all. Ata, your weight loss may have come from brain shrinkage. Horror!
I went to a wedding on Saturday and away with the girls Sunday/Monday, working on the principle that staying the same this week will be a good result
hi all :)
Good morning, mrpresident
hi mrp
do you know what, I think you're probably right, haz!
I think so. Does your head feel as if it has more room in it? It's a sure sign.
well I keep having nose bleeds at the moment ... is that my IQ draining away?
I'm afraid so.
darn. oh well. I'll be able to join Lori in Densa
You have to take, and fail, the exam before she'll let you in.
ummm, I am finding this grid too easy!! am I being fooled?
I think I could do that :-)
I think that would be quite easy!
I'm stuck on the last 7 but flew through it until now
No mrp , i have 10 left after just 20 minutes !!
It's not a hard grid so you're not being fooled.
ah, good!!
It's hard for Ata though, what with her suffering from brain drain and everything.
it's very very hard. especially with a cat howling like she's trying to impersonate a banshee
are you being mean to her ata?
She has probably sensed that your IQ's draining away and doesn't want to be stuck with a stupid owner.
would I???!!!!
her iq is probably higher than mine now
Sign her up for next year's university challenge!
2 out of my 3 have always had a higher IQ than me but at least I'm not as thick as Crumble
that would confuse jeremy
pooor crumble lol
He would frown horribly, I think.
did you see Nuts had approached the girls brother to see if she would do a 'tasteful' photoshoot
The girl being?
~!~!~!~!~FIREWORKS~!~!~!~!~
Congratulations Kristine!
i don't know her name the really smart one from Oxford whose team won last night
yay kris!
congrats Kristine
Gail Trimble.
ok, 10 left... wow
was it the final last night/?
Apparently lots of people don't like her because she's too smart. Isn't it strange? I thought that was the point of the programme, to answer questions correctly.
ty ty
I hope she tells them to clear off.
how silly!
Yes, Ata. Corpus Christi won. I didn't see it because I was out but looked up the results this morning.
was out too
I thought she was brilliant.
have a good day all , i have tons to do today !
did spangle cheer her too, in previous rounds?
You too, Kristine.
Absolutely. I could see that she wished she could be Gail Trimble's dog. 'There's a REALLY clever woman' I could hear her think.
I suspect Hobbit did too
I did point out to her that Gail Trimble probably would be too busy studying to take her for walks. That seemed to calm her down.
I'm sure she should study and walk Spangle at the same time
sorry internet crashed - her brother replied "would you let your sister do it!!"
good for him!
Might she not keep bumping into things? Or would it be Spangle's job to steer her around obstacles?
I'm sure she could do anything, she was on Breakfast this morning and came over so well
Her brother sounds eminently sensible. Stupid magazine.
There's something wrong with people if they can't just applaud someone who does something well.
exactly Haz. I play bingo on line (moment of guilt) and someone won £37,000. Some people were being really horrible
no point being mean. much better to spend the time plotting how to become Best Friends with the winner
It's weird. Did you get their address, Katie?
Lol, she was so excited still and who can blame her. She had transfered the winnings out and only left £40 in her bingo account. I thought that was so sensible. I get excited if I win £2.50 :-)
I don't know if either of you watch Dancing on Ice? Ray Quinn is extraordinarily good and yet is being criticised in some quarters for being too good. Why not just enjoy?
has that guy from eastenders gone yet? the one who was awfully bad?
I hope she gets good advice on where to put the money. Don't let her anywhere near Iceland.
Todd Carty has gone. The joke could only last so long.
Ray if fantastic isn't he, I have started to watch it just to see him. It is a sign of what is wrong with our culture when success is seen as a bad thing
John Sargeant managed it!
I think Todd went at the right time being as he could hardly stand let alone dance. However he took it as it should have been and treated it as a laugh. I think he was glad to go
Ray is brilliant - one very talented young man and yet heavily criticised for it. Some people would rather listen to morons who have nothing to say and who say it repeatedly.
*manages not to make babble-related comment*
I think you're right, Katie. The thing was that the judges weren't nasty to him and took the whole thing as it was meant to be.
He also came second on X Factor and is a great singer. As well as staring in Brookside when he was little - is there no end to this man's talents
Very restrained, Ata.
He probably wouldn't be brilliant at University Challenge.
who was he in Brookside?
he was the little boy who murdered the girl that was bullying him
A little boy - Anthony?
That's the one
ohhhh!
Brookside could never be accused of having unrealistic storylines, could it? He was about 11 and wanted to be a priest but kind of messed up by murdering the girl.
I liked Brookside
A bit of a worry for him when it would come to filling in application forms.
Brookside, i loved that show!
We ended up not watching it regularly. The accent was a bit of a worry.
lol yes. Jennifer Ellison got rather annoying
We're flushing out the Brookside fan club! Good morning bf.
but compared toEastenders or corrie, Brookside was great
I've never got into Eastenders. The trailers aren't encouraging with all that scowling.
And the accent's a bit of a worry.
yep! I don't want to sit down each night and watch people being even more depressing than normal
oh Haz - talking of accents ... (kind of) ... have you ever seen a Union Jack flag in green, orange and white? Is it a strange Irish thing?
I've seen it - I've no idea whose idea it was and whether it represents hostility or unity.
It just looks like a mish-mash.
never seen one before, but there was a huuuuge one flying outside the SOuth Bank Centre in London yesterday
I was rather concerned
Did you think the Irish had taken over?
absolutely!
I was expecting to hear "begorrahs" at every turn
And leprechauns jumping out of every doorway.
oh yes. but no. none of that was seen. just this huuuge strange Union Jack flag
'Will you give me some money? Ah you will, you will, you will'
I haven't heard that there's been an Irish takeover, but then, we'd be the last to know.
I was a little bewildered. But the South Bank is always a very strange palce
Katie's got awfully quiet. Is she playing bingo, do you suppose?
or equally bewildered by the leprechaun invasion
Maybe they've used the proceeds of the Northern Bank robbery to take over the South Bank.
or the £12k each was reallocated
Could the leprechauns be holding her hostage? 'Hand over the £37,000 or she gets the shillelagh treatment!'
threatening her with Baileys
They've probably plied her with Baileys. All she'll be worrying about is the calorie content.
I was reading about Ray Quinn's plot lines in brookside!
someone really needs to make diet Baileys
lmao
She's back! The leprechauns realised that she couldn't be held captive for long!
Oh yes ata, slimline baileys would be such a good idea
Ladies, you've got to resist temptation, not water it down.
my brave pussy cats came to same me lol
You mean they drank the Baileys and are lying contentedly at your feet?
there. I have the weird flag as my icon
They are about to get the shock of their lives as I am going to paint the bedroom and thus they have to be thrown of the bed all three of them are sleeping on
Yes, that's the one. It makes you think your eyes are playing tricks.
Couldn't you just put a sheet over them?
it does! for a while I thought it was just faded, but then realised it wasn't
Katie, are you going to use one of those new paint pods? They look fun!
That is such a good idea Haz, will do it just for a laugh
*smug*
I'm going to do it the old fashioned way with a paint pad, we tried the spray for fence panels last year which was an unmitigated disaster which put me off for technology for life
But the adverts make the paint pod look great. They make you think that there could be no more fun in life that painting every surface.
But then, adverts don't always tell the truth, do they?
painting every surface in a room is NEVER fun!
No matter how hard I try, I end up splashed with little globules of paint.
Good morning Haz, Ata, Katie :)
I only have to do three walls and gloss one door. I did the rest of it 18 months ago so the rest of the gloss and ceiling are ok. I do have to take down the curtain rail which could be exciting
Oh look! Good morning FM!
Morning FM
Taking down curtain rails = bringing down half the plaster with it.
Thought I would pop in for a hello and how are you? and find out what the grid is like today, didn't even start yesterdays :(
It's a nice grid, FM, very fast and doable.
Hi for a few minutes, folks!
exactly Haz, looking forward to it. Have been shown where the filler is to repair damage caused, he has no idea as to the limit of my abilities
Oh goody, I shall give it a go then
Hello MG.
lovely quick grid FM
Hi MG
Yes, heartily enjoying the grid today.
BRB
Katie, think of the filler as icing and the wall as a cake.
hi FM! oops missed her
She's like the Scarlet Pimpernel, that FM.
don't say that unless filler tastes really really yummy
BLOL Morning Ata :)
I'd better go and get on with it. I'll be back with updates during the day *think icing, think icing, think icing*
And smoooooooooooooth.
oops sorry that was supposed to be LOL. Bye Katie and Hi MG
I thought it was 'Burst laughing out loud'
hi FM!
Or maybe 'Begorrah Laughing out loud'
oo thats a good one Haz
I have no brains any more, FM :(
Because of the Irish invasion of the South Bank.
do you think I should inform Scotland Yard?
Yes! Ata's brains have drained away.
How was the concert Haz?
It was great! Lovely singing, great compere (you wouldn't have understood the half of what he was saying) but most men were over 90.;
Okay, that was an exaggeration. The average age was over 50 but they could sing!
all that Baileys
Average age over 50 sounds fine (I suddenly feel rather old)!
I was looking at the cost of west end theatre tickets on Sunday, sooooo expesive!
Ata, it was a concert featuring lots of male voice choirs from all over Northern Ireland. We also had a very glamorous Irish harpist. A lovely evening of music and fun.
For some reason, male voice choirs seem to be mostly elderly but isn't it great that they can have fun together and make such lovely music?
oh lovely!
OK, supposed to be working on something for a fried but the requisite site won't load, so I 'm off to clean my house for a bit and try again. Have fun, everyone!
Bye MG.
*drools at the thought of Baileys*
Bye MG
FM - sneaky tip - if you don't care about seeing "stars" - look into the RADA performance schedule. THey always have tickets to see their stuff, and 99% of the time, they are very very very good
There were some really inventive combovers. Nearly Donald Trump standard.
Really Ata, thanks for that , will have a google later.
LOL Haz
Anyway, what do you think of Ata's problem? Brain drain.
Why do men feel the need to 'comb over' it is totally perplexing!
I don't know. Maybe they have problems with their brains escaping as well and they want to hide the evidence.
Ata has brain drain? I've obviously missed the crucual headlines today.
I agree though. If their hair is gone, let it go.
Oh yes! You should scroll back. She's been having nose bleeds. The IQ is just leeching from her.
fireworks
yes. I do. I'm not quite sure how it started though
Congratulations cool girl!
I just put another interesting pic up from yesterday, but it's too small and you can't see it *annoyed*
thanks haz
Congrats cool girl
That proves it. She can't even work her icons now.
You kept very quiet, cool girl, did you just put your head down and plough through?
Mind you as Ata is from such great stock surely she can afford to lose a few brain cells and still be brilliant!?
A few, perhaps, but who knows how many have disappeared? Densa beckons.
good point FM
I did get oblivion in facebook scrabble the other day!
*grin*
Did Grandad Einstein ever have problems with epistaxis?
not that he ever told me!
*refuses to pick up dictionary to look up that word*
(Cue the looking up of epistaxis or the blank look of those who think I have gone mad)
Nose bleed! It's the medical term for nose bleed.
LOL noe bleed related perhaps?
Ah there is hope for me yet (but not for my sp skills)
by the by - where is Lori?
drinking baileys
That's a good question. Hopefully not having an episode of epistaxis for she definitely can't afford to lose any brain cells.
And I don't think she'll be being held by leprechauns. Canada's too big to try to take over.
She must be in hiding as I have an extra special super duper top of the range new fangled water bomb for her
You'll make no military strategist, FM. You've given away your secret!
Or is that a blind and you're really intending to lob something entirely different?
Ah now that would be telling :)
there. emailed you the randomly interesting photo from yesterday!
hops off to email for a mo
A lying in hospital! It reminds me of an old gentleman we knew who used to talk of being sent to the country for convalescence to a place called 'The Bangor Home for Tired Men and Lads'
oh how wonderful!
Beautiful facade against the glass office bocks - is that in London?
I love the image of droopy men and boys sleeping everywhere.
yep just down from Westminster Bridge
I must have walked past that hundreds of times and never noticed it
Isn't it a great memorial to such a forgotten phrase.
FM!!!!!! ***whaps her with a feather pillow head shot***
I know. Sometimes it pays to look up and see what's on some buildings.
G'd mornign Babblers!
I was so pleased. It made my day seeing that! And there was another old hospital building with beautiful Art Nouveau lettering and sculptures nearby. Just beautiful
Good morning Lori! Well executed manoeuvre on FM!
hi Lori!
There she is!!! Hey Lori :)
How's this grid? Sometimes small ones are tricky
It's an easy one, Lori, even for someone from Densa.
*ouch* didn't see that one comming at all, hve you been practicing?
So much for FM's plan for launching preemptive strikes with water balloons.
Lofty claim re: DENSA. We'll see.....
It was all a bluff Haz, just to get her to break cover.
Hi and Excuse me. Good to see you FMitch. I have the Pe 8 have gone through back chog. I have the Pe 8 what is the other please?
Oh, you're quite the strategist, FM.
pr8 - just change a couple of letters around
Hi herin :)
thank you and back to looking for words. Don't wish to interupt
From the pe8 that is.
Yesterday was quite the day. There was a communication mix up, and the true KofG did not get to my shed until yesterday morning.
Darn, herin has reminded me there is a grid waiting to be done but I guess it can wait till later, chat is more fun!
Grid ?
And is Emma well settled in? Have you spoken of the operation in whispers so that she doesn't get wind of it?
Dash it I should have seen that Pr as I have been ear bashed that word in Legal Practice classes. Go have fun FMitch and everyone I am abou to bed it
Lori has been entrusted with the KoG? Is the shed up to spec? Sleep wekk herin
We felt it best to keep it as a surprise Haz, so we didn't tell her.
sleep well even!
Been up since 530am im going to go sleep like a log
Much the best plan. And if she starts to look suspicious, speak in French. Or use code as in 'The cat is going for an op9
when will the deed be done?
maybe not French in Canada. Go for Chinese
Hopefully this week, for logistical reasons. We have her on the cancellation list.
FM's taken my typing course? ;p
But, Lori is more likely to have conquered French than Mandarin. And Emma may be a Kitten of Glory but bilingual at 6 months?
in a bilingual country ... you never know!
good morning babble friends! stuck on the lonely I for NBT...please, is it an in- word?
*hangs head in shame* but at least you know it is me typing, the day I get a post out without a sp mistake be very suspicious!
It is, Trif. It can also be an en word if that helps.
Hi there Trif, sorry can't help, haven't started yet.
lolol FM G'd morning Tri, no idea as I have 1 word.
The day you get a post out with no spelling mistakes but with many begorrahs is the day we'll know that the leprechauns have succeeded.
and taken over the South Bank
thank you very much, haz! monkeys and I are off to hunt....
They've already done that. And so quietly as well.
You're welcome, Trif.
Haz!! that scentence was gramatically incorrect, get unsettled and suspicious all in one go... and fall over as a result.
I think FM's been at the Baileys to build up her tolerance against the leprechauns.
*then hits self with fish as of course it was gramatically correct* sigh.
"Scentence"? heh heh heh smells suspicious to me.
The Bottom I (eye) is what you said trif plus to enclose in something wound or folded about
Oh OK already!!!! I suck!
thanks herin! and haz ....NBT!
Keep drinking the Baileys, FM.
Thankgoodness I only have 10 more mins left to embarass myself publically.
this grid is a strange one alright. I have never seen a center tile with 0/0
It's so nice to have FM back to blame everything on. It wasn't as much fun when she didn't know.
and most of the right side is dead as well....strange
Hello everyone..... Haz, you are just the person I need ( I think), have you ever reheated pancakes ?
yes, much more fun
Hello Karys! What sort of pancakes?
Haz, lol, but I think we need to drink something *else* today.....de5 comes to mind!
Hi Karys
G'd morning Karys
Just the plain ones
Plain as in crepes?
sneaks back in. I knew I had a great excuse to eat Pancakes for tea tonight (and didn't)
yes Haz... sorry
What are you planning to do?
make some now, herin!
***was hoping Haz would type 'creeps'***
LOL of course it's Pancake Tuesday isn't it.
as if Haz would do such a thing!
well I have made them for this evening, since I have the family coming for a meal
Uni is at Mom's for donut day! She gets Grammy's fab donuts, and I don't. ***pouty face***
Please. I've had no epistaxis.
<stealthily creeping in for a pounce>
*tackle hug lorip*
yummmm, it is FM, and I am going out to brekky with all my expat ladies today - I know what I am ordering! :)
*releases waterbombs* Ha Ha!!!!!!
They can be reheated in the oven, stack them up, cover with foil.
***whacks carlee with ACME/Coyote style large hammer***
Mornin' carlee
*#*#*#*#*#*#* <seeing stars>
thank you, are they still as good ?
*splutters a friendly greeting to carlee*
today is national pancake day, trif... seriously
morning Lori...fm :)
Yes, they'll be fine. You'll be putting some sort of filling in them and the foil will stop them getting dried out.
excellent, kje! I will be the well-behaved Yank at the table then
I'm retreating under the desk, deploying umbrellas and getting the under-desk mirrors and arm stretchers on.
Great... last two and then all done ( feeling a little smug )
is george under there with u haz?
HI kje :)
Smug is a great feeling. Ata's had it all her life.
LOL!
gm FM
No, just enough room for me, I'm afraid.
smug is good
fm...we COULD kidnap george <nudge nudge>
lol Haz, no Secret Service guys talking in to their sleeves?
G'd morning kje. Ata is the resident smug expert. Should she have groupies?
Shhhh carlee, it has taken me months to get him back to my cupboard
No, a distinct lack of them. Spangle doesn't take kindly to big men with shades and menacing expressions.
hi lori
ahhh...sorry...I guess I missed that memo
Spangle is wise. Sleeve talkers are often double agents.
I do!
I mean. What makes them think that they're blending into the background? Talking into sleeves is enough to get most people into the Home for the Bewildered.
As much as it pains me my babble time is up fo now as 12.00 approaches. Not sure I can pull off the Cinerella act at 12 mid day but I do have to poof :((
so....for those who care to hear the update...my citizenship ceremony went off withut a single hitch..we had the royal canadian legion ( for free no less) ... we had the war vets...we had the "cute" rcmp officer and we had the local member of parliament administer the oath
do they still talk into their sleeves? I thought now they had those bluetooth ear thingies
***Later gator! See ya' in a bit FM***
Any couriers coming today, FM? Any chance of Mr Courier 2009 ringing your doorbell?
take care FM...
*clings onto FM*
oh, well done you, carlee! I did wonder how that went....did the girls make it all through the night okay?
{{FM}}
Sound brilliant carlee!
oh dear. the queen has a powder puff on her head
congrats carlee!!!
or is that a seperate fete?
Poor Ata. Brains draining and now FM leaving. There's not a lot going for you today.
bye FM - hagd
oh..the all night thing is mar 13
Fraid not Haz, no couriers on the horizon :( Lovely to chat and Happy Babbling.
The Queen often wears alarming objects on her noggin'......
thanks carlee. figures I would get them confused. all apologies
hi everyone
Bye FM!
this one is particularly concerning. it's a a tribute to the Queen Mother's taste in hats
no problem..i live them and have a hard time keeping it all straight:)
G'd morning welsh
hello welsh! your little dancing chicken is ADORABLE
But why a powder puff? Is it one of those fascinators?
Hi to all this fine Babble morning
Oh, is it the unveiling of the statue today?
NO! it's a BIG powder puff!
Ata, what occasion is the queen attending?
statue?..what statue ?
G'd morning bichon
yep, right now
Good morning BIchon.
Maybe it is one of her mother's hats. A real tribute.
oh dear. how sad for HRH
unveiling of a statue to the Queen Mom
LOL welsh! thanks, I needed that
oh man..her hats were dreadful most of the time
I was flying through this grid and then pow! a wall
I once saw the Queen wear what looked like a small dog seated upon the Royal noggin'. It was disturbing.
wow, that's one heck of a statue!
I believe I might be experiencing grid lock as well, bichon. however, I did get to just 26 left, so that's not too bad, I guess. How are you doing?
The Queen Mother found a style that she thought suited her and stuck to it for many years. It saved making too many decisions.
bichon, if it makes you feel better, I have 14 words. :)
I found the BBC affiliate here, but it isn't live, unfortunately....
I'm great Trif. At least the weather has calmed down and my daughter found a babysitter so I'm not driving down to West Haven several times a week. More time to Babble
you pay people to make those types of decisions
(this was an apricot powder puff, just to add to the disturbance)
I saw a picture of it in the paper yesterday - the statue, I mean, rather than the powder puff.
bichon, how is the temp there today? it is BITTER here...I think I could vaccinate the kids with the rhododendron leaves!
ATA, does this mean she is wearing apricot coloured clothing?
yep
i haven't been out yet today, but yesterday it was wicked!"
what other members of the family are there?
She's worn apricot before. She likes to give every shade a turn.
charles, camilla, william, harry, andrew, beatrice, eugenie, edward, sophie, anne and lots of minors.
Prince Charles is speaking now.
Good morning kids. 11 degrees F here. Brrrrrr.
My daughter, her husband and their daughter live in West Haven
I miss my mother in law....she and I always used talk about the queen, and how much she (MIL) loved her....
thanks ata
morning scrabs....
Good morning Scrabbler.
It's 20 here, but feels like 7. Walkies is going to be short today
scrabs!!! lovely to see you!
Carlee--where have you been? I missed you last week.
is william's chickie there?
Scrabs are you skiing today?
nope
i was around...we must have just missed eachother..had lots of cr4 to do to get ready for saturday
are harry and chelsea on or off?
hi scrab
I wish, Bichon, but I work 8:30-2:30, then I spend the afternoon and evening, as I do every Tuesday, with the 3 kids of my friend, Mary, that died in October.
off
I will leave you too it. Hugs and light
good day, beloved herin
Hi herin
byebye herin
G'd morning Scrabbler of New Yawwk. :)
Right, time I was off doing sensible things. Enjoy the grid. And Ata, we rely on you to be the royal correspondent today. Jenny Bond, eat your heart out!
bye herin - sweet dreams!
I am an upstate New Yorker, I don't talk like people from down there.
lol, I should go too....
hi carlee, lori, scrab, trif, infern, kje et al :)
Define sensible things? Shirley not housework.
take care haz..nice seeing you:)
mr p!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi mrp
I have to go dabble with drawing
Hugs {{MrP }}
There may be a touch of housework involved, Lori. Just a touch.
ata - you could also babble with brawing
Bye for now!
bye ata and haz :)
I've heard Buffalo speak. It's definitely not Brooklyn
The middle of this grid is constipated with consonants, huh?
how is everyone :))
I could, but that wouldn't make me much money! *poof*
hugs
hi mrp!
poor constipated grid... funny image scrab
hugs infern!
mr p = don't be alarmed, but I felt strangely ...happy...this morning. good feeling!
CLogged up with consonants..look at that mess.
Later Ata Hari
yay trif!
Yippee for Trif!
bbiab
ooooh! what happened this morning??? have you had anything good go on?
Scrabbler should prescribe an antiobiotic for this grid, and additional fiber.
Yes, it should definitely move its vowels
this is going to sound so odd, but my dreaded marriage counseling appointment was cancelled last night, as clinician was sick with flu. I felt like 100 pounds flew right off me. there is probably more to this, but I don't want to over think it
not odd trifs...
Trif, is it couples counseling or just you?
do you like your clinician??
Bichon---great line, LOL!!
could it be that I am finally getting used to this new life of mine? I think it could be...I am seeing new blessings, and making the house my own. the kids are coping, and maybe, just maybe, we are gonna be okay. and yes, mr. p, I love the woman we see. she is great.
that is great news trif! How long have you had your 'new life' ??
since halloween
so this is probably just a phase
Trif, you are finding a new normal, realizing your independence, your resilience, ....good for you! (Trif)
it could also be that you have a natural reaction to facing counselling which is an emotionally draining thing
I believe separating from a partner (especially when you have children with them) is an enormous and brave challenge
welcome to the sisterhood trifs
thanks, friends. how I love you all....
Hi hursh
I didn't ask for this mr p, just so you know the truth. I got well and truly dumped.
but he's doing counseling with you?
Right side done, DENSA Prez feels a tiny smug moment. Only 89 words left to go....
And you are rising above this and demonstrating strength to your kids.
Go Lori go!
bloody bastard! how frigging nasty for you trif... but you sound like you are recovering well now!
he sits and acts like an ass for an hour, and calls it counseling. we made an appointment with a mediator to help us figure out the financial stuff. he is gonna get his head snapped back when he realizes he actually DOES still have to pay for stuff
ah.
Maybe, down the road a while, it will seem like it was for the best. At least you know that you are the better person.
let's not talk about this anymore, shall we? I want to hold on to my happy feeling.....
yeap..focus on the kids... and you... keep your "circle" warm... and safe
Yay for Trif feeling happy this AM, now let's find words.
I got ridiculously elated yesterday at the craft store= walked down the fake flower aisle in pursuit of something else, and all the bright colors and blooms were such a lovely sight in the midst of all the snow and ice here
hi all
Good strategy Tri. Why sabotage a happy feeling?
Hi Ardilla
G'd morning ardilla
how's the grid?
Grid? What grid? :D
good morning everyone;)
english ladies, when is the big flower show in london? during the early spring, or in the summer time?
Easy so far, Ardilla. I am up to 54 in 15 minutes.
crossy!!!!
Hi cwossy
G'd morning cross
Hi crossy! :))
hi crossy, any omelets or bacon weaves today?
lolol SCrabbler. Nice Elmer Fudd? :D
in + ????
ardilla, is that you in your icon? FAB photo!
oh... where is the recipe for that?
not today ardiilla,tummys a tad tender.best to keep the grease to a minimum
to encase a present in colored paper, mr p
Cwossy always thweatens to eat my wabbits
of course! - fishslap!
yes, it's me at a japanese tea ceremony
Morning all. Trif, Chelsea Flower show is 19 - 23 May.
someone say rabbits?
awww...feel better soon
hi frances
G'd morning Frances
scrab, I keep meaning to tell you - there is a place in maine called "welch's wabbit wanch"
thank you frances!
wow, ardilla! you look great!
I will look it up, Trif--but, they don't raise rabbits for meat, do they?
ARG..my kids DRAINED the hot water...
Hi frances
hi carlee
oh, geez....I have no idea....never even occured to me. gross!
carlee, it's best not to mix babble and showering - careful there!
we have rabbit raised here for meat
wabbits....
If eating a rabbit was between me and starvation, starvation would win. Yuk.
Yes, Carlee, you will damage the laptop
but rabbits are rather a problem for Oz, yes mr P?
hi ard :)
wish i HAD a lap top
and I bought kangaroo steak today! soooo looking forward to it on the weekend
Oz???
Australia
ostrich is good too
a roo steak? please describe the flavour
I have a $379 mini-laptop, from tigerdirect.com. Acer Aspire One. I bought it 6 wks ago as a gift to myself for new year and paying off mortgage.
yes trif... but most are poisoned and have myxamytosis
LOL about the laptop, carlee! totally the reason I didn't post a photo of "where my computer lives" - it lives here in the bed with me, in all my fuzzy bathrobe glory
like venison cross... but richer
scrabbs,i saw one of those 2 days ago and now i want one!
kangaroos produce much fewer greenhouse gases than cows.
woot scrabbs!
oh, that sounds horrible, mr. p
hi hurshy
we have a huge thing with a big clunky monitor
I love it, Carlee. Small, cute, and relatively inexpensive, at least compared to other laptops. It does everything I need it to do.
we are removating ..again...$ into that..and saving for a christmas trip to costa rica..I will forgo the laptop
on the plus side, carlee, you will never fall asleep and then hear the dreaded sound of laptop sliding to it's doom
I bought the sapphire blue one, crossy
renovating * even
yeah, it is trif
***hands carlee my typo tiara***
Yikes, look at the time! I must get ready for another day at the kiddie ranch. Lots of little calves to rope in.
enjoy the day everyone
* graciously accepting tiara *
bye scrabbs hagd
Have a Richard free day Scrabbler. Laters!
ooooo, when we had my sister's hen night we found an AMAZING tiara for her. It said "bride of the year" in big sparkly letters, but we broke the "b" off before we gave it to her...tee hee
cu scrabs
:D @ carlee
LOL trif!
reading the reviews on your acer aspire one right now scwabby:)
Richard was a complete a$$ yesterday and I am trying to not let his behavior agitate me..so hard.
bye scrabs!
wait, who is richard?
Crossy, I researched everywhere: CNET, PC Magazine, customer reviews on many sites.
Trif: my boss, practice owner, Dr Richard Head--jerk to the max.
her boss "richard head"
is he one of the bunnies?
Scrabbler, you wants I should send Vinnie and Guido to give him some guidance?
ohh
oh, thanks. I was worried it was mr. scrabbler
I know lots of guys in concrete scrabs
Yes, he needs to be demasculated
----> jotting down carlee's number for future reference....
grind up prozac and put it in his coffee scrab
Oh, no Mr Scrabbler for me....maybe someday, but no need as I have a great life now
TY, Carlee
We got ways of making people like that a little less "knee-dy".
Trif, maybe a laxative
or some HRT
midol...
picture him with a nice set of moobs....
lol, laxatives. Childish, yet oddly satisfying!
He is just a narcissistic idiot and everyone agrees
scrabs....I just had a funny visual....your foot coming into contact with a tender locale after the laxative starts working....
ick. I hate him for you, scrabbls
Sorry, I am not being a good Christian now. I love him but dislike him greatly, and pray for him to recover from jerkdom
gives knew meaning to a "kick in the a$$ "
good afternon everyone
jac!!!!
happens to the best of us, scrabbs
G'd morning jacq
hi jacq
Oh, the stories I could tell, Trif...OK, kids, I must get ready to leave.
evening jac :)
Hi and bye Jacq
Take care Scrabbler.
sometimes... a healthy vent allows us to be good people when we need to be...keeps us sane to allow us to keep on giving in the right way
heya Tri!! heya Mr P hi n bye scrabbler

Nice job Tri. Go ardilla!

Earlier, someone said the big ones were p's, so I'll slide chat over and do the p, before the onslaught of 8 requests begins. Back in a bit.
yeah, tried that too
lol Tri. That just isn't fair, is it. :(
they are lori, and they are really easy to find, so don't get too worried
primo will be disgusted to know enable doesn't take "powned"
well, that and it's not in the grid (DUH)
lololol Tri. You weren't kidding! Wee tiny tweak gets both. Let us back in the moment. Or not.
yay lori! rock on, word finding genius!

I guess some one has to be a permanent resident there...to keep it clean and stocked :)
BR...I haven't finished it yet, but your message today is awesome! Thank you so much for posting it!
there is a lot there to digest
That is why I am taking it in sections. Especially with the interuptions!
So...if I ask for clues...is that cheating if I am trying NOT to use the list?
babble is not a contest nor a ritual of propriety ... each decides ... there are no rules .. each of us sets the standards
I say ask away
Ok then! The i and the e in the bottom row!!! Please!
both end in enhancing the packaging of a present
TY BR! I didn't put enough letters with them!

evening everyone how are we all?
hello hello hello? Is this thing on?
hi red!
ty.
Hiya, red!
dan, i was watching pups earlier, sooo active. any takers yet?
hu judi!
we're kind of waiting for their personalities to emerge before matching them to applicants, but I'm told there is a queue
Dan, it looks lke i'm running a race in dc in may. do you think we could do a babble get together afterwards?
no plans yet in May, sounds good to me
Lil Monkey is also coming. And I want to mee the front of Mrs bit, All I ever see is her legs on the cam!!!
I have yet to see dcseain to ask about him and tom.
I'll mention it ;-) now that she's chatted you all up on the puppy site, it might not seem so odd for her to hang with the word geeks
lol. I'm sure your intentions are honorable, red... but, that sounded weird!
Yes, well, I am wierd.
Dan, she married you, I assume she is used to at least one word geek!
heh, she tolerates me pretty well
Judi jave you seen Dan's puppies? They have set up a puppy cam and they are really fun to watch.
link in my profile
I was just watching the puppy cam! Adorable! Also like the pics of the DC get-together. Wish I could have been there.
FIREWORKS!
woo hoo Judi
Congratulations judi!!!!
I know you will all hate me, but I hope tomorros grid is a bit longer....like 332
red! http://tinyurl.com/azh3cw :)
Oooh this has got to be the laying in hospital....goes to look!
Ata, really cool! Out hospitals dont look that way at all.
ours don't now!
But apparently we are going to get something like the London Eye for orlando.
oh really? lucky you! the London Eye is just a brilliant thing
Well, I think London has a bit more to offer than Orlando.
would you be able to see into the theme parks and stuff? that would be fun!
and anyway, just going up in such a thing is fun
I wonder about the theme parks, they are actually not really in orlando.
Then again, some of the yuck neighbourhoods could look ok from far away yes?
Those are really coool photos ata.
ty! that's the nice thing about London - it has all it's tourist stuff, but then if you just walk around and look at things, you see all the amazing buildings like that hospital
It's great. I think in Florida things are in general too new (in orl at least) So everything is sort of the same
but we do have a lot of nice gardens, and of course there is Gatorland. (ha ha).
it's amazing how far you can see from the London Eye - miles and miles and miles, out of London. So if Orlando is fairly flat, I guess you'd get a good view!
why is ata awake?
I know someone who did some research there :) Gatorland I mean
Orlando is flat as a pancake. really really flat, so maybe an eye would be fun, you would be able to see out to the orange groves.
Ata managed to slightly twist her ankle, and forgot about it when going to bed. So I got back up to have some painkillers
Hi kje.
you'll like this too, kje: http://tinyurl.com/azh3cw :)
Oh yes, kje, you have to see atas cool photos.
And sorry aboutankle atalante.
I want to go to Gatorland, but...waiting for nephews to come.
"On a clear day, you can see about 25 miles into the distance, which is as far as Windsor Castle"
OK, brb
my chog is broken!!!
awwww
hi
why am i not getting through??????
better?
aaaaggghhhh
kje, we see you fine.
we seeeeee you!
oh, there you are... I was typing but the chog never moved... it was scary all alone - LOL
ooo freaky
so all better.
ata - you are a great photographer! i love some of these!!! - the tree and lamp... the ferris wheel - wow!
and a lying in hsopital was for maternity, no?
hello gang ;-)
hi jilli.
yep, specialist maternity - but I think the women went in there a while before the due date. That was the "lying in" bit. I *think*
hi jilli
hi jilli
yep
you have a good eye ata - I am jealous
could be post-partum -- in the old days we got to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks
it's still a hospital, by the way, part of one of the big hospitals around there, Guy's and Thomas's
we had an exchange program with guys at Hopkins
ata is an artist in various media
yes she is - a talented one
A 1932 publication refers to lying-in as ranging from 2 weeks to 2 months[1]. It also does not suggest "Getting Up" (getting out of bed post-birth) for at least nine days and ideally for 20 days.[1] This prolonged time of staying in bed after birth may also be called "lying-in".[2][3] When lying-in was a more common term, it was used in the names of several hospitals. For example, the Royal Women’s Hospital in Australia was originally known as the "Melbourne Lying-In Hospital and Infirmary for Diseases of Women and Children".
good old wikipedia
can I be smug? :D
as a bug in a rug
As usual, ata, lol!
wow... I bet they killed a lot of ladies with all that lying in
hi nutcase!

Hello raelite! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
*tosses a few speedy monkeys at Min*
les bons temps sont finis avec lent qui arrive demain!!

hi min, I'm great, I hope you are well
be strong stid!!
I gave up lent for lent years ago... (but still enjoy mardi gras)
*flexing muscles for Rae*
hee hee I am giving up chocolate...
Heyas again kids ..

Heyas Min & rae ..
BR, it's supposed to be something you like that you're giving up!
.. and BR
hello, tor
boys are, um... well the younger one has hit 5'10... (about 1.69 m), and the elder one is the last of us to catch the flu I brought home... otherwise they are both age and stage appropriate. *sigh* which is lovely at times and at other times not so.
be strong, the teen years only last so long
true enough, rae. I am enjoying many things this year actually -- only a couple more years and the elder will be leaving the nest!
how are your folks, anyway? will you give them my best regards please?
eeep!
hello, any clues for the bottom e? got to 9 left listless :)
whole grain corn waffles for mardi gras.... mmmmm
followed by death by chocolate waffles... I love my tom!
Hi LeslieAnn! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hello LA!
hullo
I would like a clue for that too please
holding steady at 13, too busy chatting.
lower E is EN 6
similar to an IN 6
doubting the wordiness of that one
seems redundant
go LA go!
I need one more E from the top, myself, and 11 others...
pa6,24?
to stand, ahem, tall, stid?
Phantom: pretend
oh geez, thanks LA!
A pa 6/24 is past tense of the pa 4/5 forwardbyfaith
Another phantom: parent
LOL only just saw the ex-w4! *sigh* down to ten...
missing a 7? have pe, pr, pr, ra, st
just not seeing it Min- how can it be a past tense when there is no "ed"??? Sorry, my brain must be fried
I am missing the same one LA, apparently
there is an ED at the bottom forward
you want the chess piece word
you may be looking at the wrong 4/5. it's hurt, past tense, faith
pa 5/12 is a twist past tense word at bottm forward.
oops. word pa... though that is also there... *sigh* back to looking for own words*
2 left!
go go min!
go min go!
Go Min!
I should take a few minutes and work on this presentation I am giving tomorrow.
Got it - thanks, i was trying to past tense another word. Thanks for the help.
I really don't want to...
Another pe7 LA
need one more R from the top. and two from the left.
thanks tor!
ok thanks tor, the monkeys are deployed
Which do you have?
1
the paper you get when you pay, stid, minus an i?

I have the part of 100, tor.
I am done! I have fireworks!pe5/14 was my last word
no, I have that LA, but it's a great clue!
yay min!
YAY min!!!!!!
The other sounds like the jelly thickener
I can clue for 10 more minutes,then I must go to bed!
Yay Min!!
jelly thickener *thinking*

Congratulations stidmama on fireworks!Good for you
Go LeslieAnn go!
I haven't finished listless in AGES thanks tor and min and LA! *handing out hundred dollar bills*
done!
YAY LA!!!!!
Congratulations LeslieAnn on fireworks! Good for you
ahh you beat me by a minute ;)
if only I had the resources to really hand out money like that...
but it's ok cause i have $100!
or less, LA. rofl...
Yay LA!
I have $100 left in my 401k so I'm set ..
so, since I have actual schoolwork to get around to, and a couple of things I need to look at on a contract again and... *sigh* nothing I can't actually handle, just wishing I were still the "mom at home who makes greeting cards and paints scarves*
that was WAY less stressful...
golly tor -- you'll be able to retire in no time!
I have zero dollars in retirement savings...
which is why I am "retooling" in school!
About 95 years by my calcs ..
I figure I will work until I am about 75 or 80, which should leave 15-20 years of retirement.
gl on all that, stid
I said I could stay for 10 more minutes and stidmama and LeslieAnn both finished in 10 minutes,good timing
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
we try to work around your schedule, min ;)
sweet dreams, Min. thanks again for all your help!
Goodnight Min ..
anyway... it's off to be productive. or at least busy! ((hugs all))

Now there's only 1 possibility
no ali to the cr 4/6
ooh nice jilli
ok, i need the other cr5
Now I'm more sensible as you can see if you click
that's a relief :)
I absolutely agree jilli that car would be a dream
Not too far off, I think, west
let's hope so

I have 19 to go I'll let you know if I get stuck
thanks for the offer
lol, torg!
Hi & bye jilli and all ..
that was a great speech by Obama -- hope nobody missed it
I achieved my goal for today - 12 hours on my butt in front of the computer ..
Doing almost nothing else ..
yikes, torg -- that's worse than me!
On a normal day 8 of those would have been at work
we're watching Obama speak right now and I agree it is a good speech
ah, today was a US holiday, I remember -- President's Day
It was a good speech .. I hope this admin can achieve some of those goals ..
Presidents' (plural possessive)
That was last week jill .. I just took a day off ..
It's good to have those goals
Oh, so it was -- sorry -- this is Mardi Gras, lol (also Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day)
I forgot all about Mardi Gras
Now I'm out .. Night all ..
gn torg love your profile lol
night, torg
that "old man" torg is younger than my son, lol
jilli we have a 2004 Toyota Camry
no sunroof though do you like that?
well, my Yoyo is an LE, leather seats etc -- love it. Probably cost more here in Canada than your Camry!
LOVE the "moonroof" -- lets the heat out in summer
maybe our next car will have one
highly recommended
I did want a Prius but there were none available here that year
and I couldn't wait -- 12-year-old Pontiac died
that one gave you good service did you get it new?
Yes, new -- Grand Am -- but bought in Quebec with all the salt on the roads -- rusted throgh the floor and then the something-or-other was shot (can't remember what)
it's amazing the havoc salt on roads causes
Very little salt needed here <smug smile>
I need help the se 5/18
se + fighting
people out in CA have VW Beetles ( the original ones) still in pristine condition
hmmm
ty got it
Iraq and Afghanistan etc
tried it with an n at the end
lol, that would be se + pale
tried it before I asked ...is that a word?
people in Cuba and Mexico have ancient cars too
this se5 is not a word (curse enable)
I do... a lot lol
how many to go, west?
14 now just going up the list I started at the bottom
clues available here -- finished this morning
I'll be asking for help again I'm sure
meantime it's nice talking to you
well, I'm here, watching CNN and this screen
what's on CNN?
just discussion about the speech
hi all...
here to finish...
hi pini
...and I see the icon has changed...to cars?
I"m finishing too
hi pini -- I'm here to help if needed
16 more to go, jilli! ;)
...but let me change my icon first...
the icon changed to cars yesterday -- next is Your Favourite Animal (not posted yet)
okey dokey...I can see I'm a bit behind...
pini -- it was Your Dream Car
then I'll be ahead of the game with the favorite animal
(refresh)
pini -- before the cars it was "a candid picture of where your computer lives" _ I suggested it but flosey and I were the only people who showed our mess
I was very disappointed
I thnk I might have missed it...sorry!!! :(
2 more R from the far left...
oo, spooky animal -- black panther?
yes, that's it, jilli
I tend to like "stealth"...
hard to know what to clue from that, pini
let me see what R's I have...
RA x 7; RE x 7
not using Lickety, pini?
not yet, jilli...
How about R 4 6 5 4 5 5 7 6 6 4 5 4 5 4
there are 9 ra words, 7 re words
uh oh
then it's RA I'm missing (x2)
thx jilli
got one!
ra4.7 and ra6.30 are what you're missing, Pini
I have an ra 7
unless there are 2?
I got the 4
just popping in to say Hi, and good night. see you all tomorrow. --ra6 is a plural for ra5.18
only one ra7
(oh, where are my glasses so I can read straight)
(missed the 4 part)
hi lbd and bye!
*poof*
thx lbd for popping in...that was it!
1 more E from the top center?
I have finishes, "stand at attention"...
what do you have from there? (much easier for US if you use Lickety)
you need the sea bird
I know, jilli, but I'm so close to finishing without it! :)
that was it!
how about 2 N's, I have hair ne**
(from the top right)
but you're using other people who use Lickety -- what's the diference?
the dbl consonant(s)
oh, I thought you guys were done...
(opening list)
I'm done -- just talking the principle of the thing, lol
no worries... ;)
still willing to help!
ne4/4 and ne5/10 (the last 2 are missing)
oh...got 'em
that's what I just clued -- the dbl consonant
I see that now, jilli! ;)
let's see...pa5/22 (must use the dbl V)
pa5/22 -- animal foot + talking horse
well, that's a nice little fish slap! :)
lol!
se5/18?
if it's another fish...make the clue really obscure! LOL
se + armed conflict
it's an unword
gee, sounds like the thing in the middle of the street
right!
7
gogogo pini!!!
te5/12 (2nd)?
1
and that's it...the te5/12
hmmm....
1 left
te + speed contest minus first vowel
~*~ firewords ~*~

I always think of Jiminy Cricket when I see your name and thanks
jmc -- pls identify your car!
so do I jmc
everyone SHOULD love my dream car! It sould LOOK like yours...
sorry it is a 1965 red convertible Mustang
me 3
could
afternoon all :)
brb - gotta check something out...
see, you all are looking to the past...dream of the future!
hi mrp!!!
that's me--honest as the day is long--jmcn cricket
I mr p
hi mrp
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDISON!
I want to dream about something burly to drive lol
oh thanks jilli!! I will tell her you wished her birthday happiness!!
how is the birthday girl feeling? better I hope
a burly gas-guzzler?
she is feeling great!!
only drive it on special occasions besides if it is a dream I could convert it into a burly non-gas guzzler
get real, jmc!
that's great mrp wish her many happy returns
when was that darling picture taken? what a happy baby she must have been
what's the point in getting real in a dream jill? lol
my dream car would have wheels that go sideways parking would be a breeze
she was about 20 months!
I guess you have a point, jmc, but...
cool west I think I saw a concept car like that at the auto show once
total treasure of a child too... always
west, I think that's already been invented!
aren't you a lucky Mum, mrp!
jill I ride the subway, compost and garden in the District, have been recycling for 40 years and don't even use AC in the summer--I am content dreaming of a gas guzzler
oh now jilli! you seem to forget I have a son too! LOL... my little challenge!
well, he'll turn out just fine, mrp!
jmc, I liked your dream of a burly non-gas-guzzler, lol
jm we lived in the DC area for 2 years and took our car out of the garage about twice a month so it wouldn't forget
Jmc.. I think we have the same dream car!
lol west
I lived in NYC and we didn't need a car
we walked or rode the metro all the time
65?
and I loved it
mrp will there be a birthday party?
yet sometimes I like to get out on the open road--my son and I own a 1983 Mustang convertible that we drove one lovely summer night on the Natchez Trace with fireflies and rock'n'roll and the top down. It was heaven
city folk tend to forget that we country types DO need cars
most of our public transportation keeps cutting back people just don't use it
when we were in Europe we rode buses all the time
I did enjoy my little red second-hand Sunbeam Alpine in the sexy sixties...
I grew up in Texas jill but love having the metro just a couple of blocks from my house which takes me to Amtrak and tbe East Coast
I want it all!!!!! lol
lucky you, jmc
time to switch to the Favourite Animal icon theme, I guess -- back in a bit
I am guessing nothing is close in BC. I have spent some time in Calgary but not much in BC
my daughter's mother in law wants a Miata..she said she'd take out the passenger seat so it would just be her car
back...does anyone here use Hulu.com?
6 kids and 13 grandkids is why lol
my son says that I should buy a Miata when I don't have to drive my mother around anymore
not me, what is it pini?
My sister says I should bye a saub--but they may not be around much longer
apparently, a number of TV stations are airing programs there (posting the episode 1 day after it airs)...my dau says alot of people are dropping their cable and watching TV through their computers (saving the TV cable cost)
well, there are cities in BC with buses, and trains in Vancouver, but no subways. I live in a rural area with lots of hills.
that's a good idea pini
help with en 6/33 please?
I have heard of it pini but haven't gone to see it yet
Lots of SmartCars here -- those little two-seaters
I left for few moments cuz my dau was telling me about it...
SAAB.....you're welcome
en + buy a gift and **** it up
en and what you do with a present
TY very much
ty indeed funhs my spelling is atortious ;-)
en + Christmas ****ping (paper and ribbons) The in6 is the same
cool
is Saab going out of business?
going to get new icon...
me too
they were born from jets but own by GM and GM is looking to sell them off but has no buyers
(I know nothing about Saab...so I'm no help)
here it is (refresh and read)
well done, jilli!
I guess I should have put a picture of my puppy up...he's my favorite ;) (then again, I'm partial)
I know way too much about cars because of my son and my friend who writes teh car pages for the Washington Post
[although right now he's being a pain in the arse!]
okay I will follow the crowd and duck out for a new icon
help with pe please
I'll be back in a moment, too...Koda's calling...
