Well, I'm getting there . . .
Oh but I am, stidmama . . .
jeune??
I'm older than I look!
mon vieux is just a pally French phrase
Hi everyone
Jaune is yello, jeune is young . . .
jeune is young, jaune is yellow
snap, JC
Yellow, rather - I think, if my memory serves me correctly from studying Frency in school . . . ?
hi hugs
JC. tu est un peu vieux de moi, et je suis 10! (check my profile if you don't believe me)
French!
jane is plain
Can't type, sorry!
bonsoir, ruru! welcome to the mad(cap) house!
A little, stidmama?
un peu PLUS vieux que...
More than a little, I think . . .
bon nuits stid
I will be 50 on my next birthday, on May 25th . . .
yikes, quel fractured french!
merci, Jill. yes JC. I studied french for a couple years in 6th and 7th grade, but mostly I know (or knew, once) Spanish and Italian.
oooh. JC! you are even more mature than my cousin Scrabbler! LOL
I see . . .
Oh gee, thank you - I think? :P
is scrabs really your cousin?
je suis la belle que fracturee la francais!
yes ruru -- actually tom's cousin, but we share her.
how cool is that?
was the AU 9 called?
no it wasn't MLF
TRES froid, ruru! actually scrabbler was "lost" until we met here! it's a nifty neat-o story.
mon dieu, tabernaque, câline-de-binne, hostie!
Actually, stidmama - I have something to show you and let yo know about. So , sometime later today after I've had sleep, I will e-mail you.
And reply to your e-mail, of course . . .
oh dear, jill. I have no idea what that was after "my god"
Hugs thanks consider it called now i found it
okie dokie, JC. thanks. (((hugs)))
:)
was the ca7 called??
Aww bless - thanks for the hugs! :) Hugs back - but I'm not sure you'll be so thankful to see this . . .
and I really ought to get back to compiling this data. I am getting so much done. I might finish the whole thing tonight!
You'll see, later.
nope Birdeee
snit
aurrgghhh
there is only rye bread in the PB
Québécois swearwords, stid -- all religiulous
Into the PB, Birdee . . .
okay JC. well I won't be waiting up for it. AND DON'T FORGET THE TIME CHANGE. at least in the US things are weirding out again.
Awww - I'll put some better bread in there for you!
I didn't ask you to, stidmama - it won't be there for hours yet anyway! ;)
in6
I just need some nice Siss cheese
Swiss cheese
oh, swear words... so it's okay for me to not know them. I only know good Saxon cussing
LOL birdee -- or a nap?
Well I don't have anything like that here, sorry.
Don't do dairy . . .
assent
ri6
oh oh birdee....
OMG just send me in there permanently tonight - sorry!
Only one 9 is that right?
*standing in cow-free playland with JC*
Erm - try clicking your cursor in the right box before you type, Birdee! ;)
loving you birdee.
thanks, birdee -- have been too busy chatting
Yes, stidmama - high fives! :)
3 9s mlf
3 9's mlf
sa6 7 combo
Oh and by the way - there are a lot of us here (vegans) stidmama - and more and more all the time. Great restaurants springing up all over, too!
okay, me to work and then to sleep once the bread is done baking (Tom started it and then left). back tomorrow at some point.
I think you'd be pleasantly surprised . . .
*leaves lovely jordan almonds in PB for birdee and choclits for everyone else*
I used to know how to do that - at one time *clicking my cursor carefully back into the word box and ignoring chog for a bit*
oh thanks ruru and vash i looked down the list didnt see the other two duhh
Also, the supermarkets stock quite a bit of vegan food.
And all the soy, rice and almond milk of course . . .
wonderful, JC! makes travel ever so much easier! *big happy smile*
Yes, it certainly does . . .
So you won't have to live on porridge and lettuce!
*grin* good! and by the time I save up enough for the trip... *sigh* I'll be nearly as old as you are now. *wicked mama grin*
Oh gee thank you - making me feel so ancient! :P HAHAHA!
i will be back
oh no, I hope not. It's only a few years away for me, you know! I shall be a half-century before my children are a quarter century old!
later MLF
arnold? that you?
Snuggles

ca6 x 2
Well hello, Kiwi . . .
west..seriously long and no clue what it was about...such a bizarre in a "I want my money back" movie
hi everyone
*mini un-poof* Kiwi, this is JC. he's okay -- very fitting-in and all. JC, this is my dear friend Kiwi. She's in New Zealand. Of course.

Snuggles Groovy and Stid
I hope he is treating you well kiwi... and it is moving forward ..
(friends more important than studies. always)
im taking small steps ruru but its good
Hi everyone!
Yes, stidmama - always!
hiya Lind
Hi, LIndrickway . . .
and, Andree?? are they doing okay? getting better?
and im also going into hospital on 8th may to get spayed lol
a whopper this time
so happy for you, kiwi!
just got off the phone to her, she is fine, just tired and none of the family too well, she found lickety in 1 of the toilets[they ahve 5] as he did not want to disturb her
like little japanese steps kiwi?
kiwi, since I am here anyway... *gasp* you did NOT just say that in front of JC! *faints while trying to shield JC*
wha?
Oh dear, Kiwi - hope it goes smoothly for you.
I think there should be an ri 8... hmmm
Shield me from what, stidmama?
i would so love to jump in both feet forward ruru but i know its not the best for everyone, me him or the boys so im we are just heavy dating lol
That she's having a hysterectomy? Oh yes, shocking . . .
lickety in the toilet?
NBT
As if I've never neard of that before . . .
thanks so much, Andree!
I imagine it would take a lot to shock you, JC, lol!
Andree I spoke to Mr P this AM and she sounded Tired. She couldn't find her phone that is why she missed your call
ahem.. how heavy is that dating?...lol
would it be more shocking stiddy if i said its going to be elective and not medical
wtg hugs!
the whole episode was a big mixup, she was 1/2 asleep and thought she had logged onto facebook, then hueshy told her on chog at least 6 times[ i have read back] that she was drunk
well, you know, JC. "girl talk" and all. Ruru is used to it, but you are still relatively new... *grin* when one young fellow comes in, I always bring up the topic of brassieres....
oh i guess also that my new photo isnt showing up yet either so you havent seen the new me lol
You're having that done when there's no problem, Kiwi?
in kiwi's case it would be a hystericalestomy
I'm back and I'm missing everything..so slow
kiwi -- why elective? Or is that too personal?
no kiwi, not shocking at all. I am pleased you are able to to what you need and want to do. And being in love....
Oh I'm used to it, stidmama - I have two older sisters and have always had very close female friends. Heard it all and know about it all, I assure you! ;)
Thanks Jill for telling me about my facebook goof
very heavy lol i stay at his place two or three nights a week and drag myself home at 6.30am to wake the boys up for school and then he stays with us sat nights
rofl ruru!!!!
Hi west -- chat is going too fast
ah, okay then, JC. we shan't hold back then!
no not too personal - i dont want any more children and i dont want any more periods and i dont want to go through menopause
I've refreshed 3 times
and a co6 7 combo
good luck with that, kiwi...
herin -- I don't remember what goof!
so... she was not drunk just not quite awake, she is now really upset, i would be too if someone accused me of being drunk
watch out JC it gets very busy chatting when im around lol
kiwi so happy for you
i have the gift of the gab
hey Kiwi! good to see you!
(you may still have symptoms of meno after)
we've missed you !!
you will go through menopause, kiwi -- why not just have tubes tied?
oh gee, kiwi! this sounds rather serious. *worried mama look* have you checked his credit report? police records? finger prints? what does scotland yard have to say about this man?
no with this surgery pini
westie there are photos of him on my facebook page
back again - had a brief chat with daughter
You will go through menopause though, Kiwi - it will just be unnaturally instant - a surgical menpause. I think that's a little more of a shock to the system probably, than having it happen naturally and more gradually - but if you want to do this, just hope it all goes very well and you recover quickly!
who has a dog that we can use to make sure he's not carrying contraband?
what type, kiwi?
removing ovaries too, kiwi?
and welcome back kiwi, haven't seen you on for ages
good to see you again Kiwi
no thats the thing they arent removing them so it means i wont have any hormonal issues later on
hiya flosey and andree hugs
Andree I spoke to Mr P this am too
Oh, well if they leave the ovaries in, that would help with the menopausal symptoms - she wouldn't really go through it, then.
kiwi has deserted us for love..
kiwi you still get symptoms of menopause even if you have a hyster
oh, ok...I was gutted so had surgically induced meno...
Oh good, Kiwi - yes, that would be better.
da 8
Hi kiwi
oh kiwi I'm still not on facebook
oh gee. I got COMPLETELY sucked in again. see how this happens? *sigh* this is it. I am really really going now. *cue von trapp family exit number* *p o o f*
bye stiddy hugs
oh westie lol
NO STID DON"T GOOOOOOOOOO
HAHAHA - yes, off to bed with you, stidmama!
And me . . .
night stid
do your kids like him kiwi?
bye stid -- I'll be glad when you're not studying any more!
ya all wanna see the new me you wouldnt recognise me lol
friend's daughter had just her uterus removed and she's not had any menopausal symptoms..she's 36
Before Mike wakes up at any rate - he'll give me what for! :P
night stid and jc
and what happened to butthead.. er.. I mean your ex-husband?
bye stiddie
yes herin, she told me you spoke to her, i just got off the phone to her, read back
nite JC
my boys think hes cool cause hes a computer expert but he gets on really well with them anyways so thats good
happiness is good isn't it kiwi?
were can I sign up for a simple painfree removal of the bits that are useless to me please.
No, westford - if it was just the uterus, she won't have that problem. It's when the ovaries are removed, you go into instant menopause . . .
nighty night, JC
has only one 8 been called?
im like a teenager again i get the butterflies in my stomach, the pining, the wistfulness
been there, done that...and over with it now! :)
A friend of mine just had it all removed last year - and went through bad symptoms for several months - getting a lot better now though, she says.
I think so dee... I dunno.. the chat is moving too quickly for me to tell
Another friend didn't have the ovaries out, and she's been fine . . .
... the heavy breathing..?
lol ty ru
All makes me thankful to be male though, all the same!
lovely love, kiwi! Is it anyone you've told us about before?
well the ex is still keeping in contact with the boys but only just but hes going around telling ppl that im stopping kieran having access to him but that he cant afford to take me to court to go for access

Hi Angel
G'd morning Babblers! Yea for another somewhat meaty grid.
hi lori
good morning, anyone have a clue for au9, please?
G'd morning Marc. Just started, but now I can look for it. :)
Thanks Lori
It means: nonmagnetic solid solution of ferric carbide
A texas town spelled with a different vowel (5th letter of the 9)+ Miller L*** beer
Thanks Lori and Herin got it.
hmmm...I am a native of that Texas town, Lori, so I could be called an AU9 by a poor speller...:)
: )
stuck on co7/36...any clues, please?
Sorry, no idea. I'm going bottom to top.
There are two of them and I am stuck on both
nm, just found it.
co7/36: short word for a felon+vowel+consonant+plural pronoun
Found both thanks
Hey Babble Family !! Just poked my head in before I make lunch pre-going-to-work, Hope all is well :)
**pokes chat to see if I broke it**
G'd morning Aussie. You broke it!
Ah, thanks Lori !!
:P
I think everybody's just ultra focused today.
fireworks!
Was just checking in..... Grid nice and big again, will get my teeth into it when I come home...... Love you all...... YAY Angel WTG !! and **poof**
Congratulations Angel
Later Aussie
Pounce on Ausie
Got all the K words **real poof**
Pounces back on Herin before I really, really poof !
Hi everyone :)
G'd morning Liz!
Morning Lori
Hi Liz
Herin :))
Liz why do you want more pets?
I don't Herin - it was just a joke :)
Ok. I have the two of them running about
Liz you don't need a Goat you have Ozzie
Oz is more than enough for anyone. I was just winding my husband up :)
Hehee
so did mrp find lickety?
and your Lovely kitties
Hi Hurshy. I just left Mrp a message on facebook
Yes and Hurshy she made a mistake
liz is that a pic of ozzie?
yes Sandy
what was the mistake?
G'd morning sandy, hursh
has lickety run off?
that she was talking here and not meaning to.
he looks gorgeous liz.
hi lori
He is Sandy thank you - althouh he is a tiny bit loopy lol
nice and shiny
morning all
No Lickety like the household is sick. He kind of went for a nap in the loo that no one looked in at the wee ours of the morning.
i figured it was something like that!
Sandy - I love your Mum's picture
oh no! It sounds funny but he must be really ill.
thanks liz
They are all unwell at the moment so there is very little sleep happening. He just kind of got up and vanished into the Laundry area
Poor MrP she must have been out of her mind worrying
Poor family! My husband has shingles
I know I have done some major odd things when I have been ill.
He is awake most of the nite, I wish he would go into the laundry.
Ouch Sandy. Yes she was and she thanks you all for understanding and being caring
lol Sandy :)
I think my kitten is high on cat nip
He won't rest , he keeps doing things all the time. I tell him he must slow down.
and still Lickety supplies the clues....isn't that nice of him
Sandy has he got prescription meds that dont like alcohol?
I have 37 s s left -saving them for tomorrow
Nice jon sandy!
*job even
wtg Sandy - I only just started
he is on pain killers panadeine forte and oxycontin but it was too late for the others
***I have no interest whatsoever in your bathroom*** :)
LOL Lori
I really liked yesterday's grid, b ut today i found it a struggle
mmm. My mum would say Lemon Honey and extra whiskey
***or anyone's bathroom for that matter***
how come intel is not a word! Its printed right here on my hard drive
lol
He hasnt been drinking any beer at all and hardly eating so I guess he must be suffering , he says it is really painful
oh poor hubby
He says I cant go to bed until he is asleep because I keep him awake -LOL!
good afternoon all
howdy sprite
hi Sprite :) Hows puppy?
G'd morning sprite
very recent pics in my profile, Liz :) He is doing brilliantly. Hi all, good grid today?
sprite, do you have him at home yet
What did you name him ?
he will come home with us in the first week of April. And we named him Terra.
as in Earth?
our dog is in heat, I hope we dont have any puppies
exactly! He will be more ruby in colour when he is older, a real terry color.
we babblers seem to be animal mad, don't we?
love your icon and story, sandy
He's lovely :) And you have waited so long for him :)
we are, and we have, and it is great :)
thanks sprite, I love looking at the pics of the puppy
Yes my mum is amazing.
for some reason watching and holding those puppies fills me with hope. They say sharing your life with animals is healthy and I have the feeling it is true!
That is very true Sprite, there's nothing like spending time with a baby whether animal or human :)
It depends Sprite-the cow trampled my bicycle yesterday
that could only be healthy in the way of giving you reason to vent some anger, grinnnn
oh Sandy I'm sorry but that sounded so funny. It conjured up a wonderful vision...
lol I didn't like that bike anyway
true Liz :)
I have to go - the kids want lunch!
enjoy Liz, and bye for now!
Tell them to make you some while they are at it1
sandy, can't you use the cow to keep that rooster in check?
Bye all, lovely chatting :)
oh my I found a compound combo all by myself. I am improving!
the rooster is moulting at the moment and looks pathetic, he has calmed down a lot since Nicky taught me to be "calm assertive"
Later Liz, you take care!
Sprite Terra is lovely
woot, that is even better, sandy
thanks lady, and hi
funny cartoon you have, lori
: D
cute profile too lori
I have said this before , but wasn't that a nice thing for Haz to have done
**sneaking in....**
***TACKLEHUG for LoriP ***
hiya carlee
Sprite when do you get to take home Terra
hi carlee
first week of april, lady
hi sprite... sandy
Ok HTe Toy elephant photo soooooooooo cute
I want a puppy too -husband of evil says three dogs are enough
ok must help hubby with Word... back soon
hi herin...
Sorry, wandered off for a minute. Yes sandy, it was a beautiful thing to do. It meant so much to me.
Hi Carlee
***dips carlee's hair in inkwell*** Mornin' carlee
Later sprite
Have you met Haz inperson lori?
*snickers*...really folks..she was SO overcome she lost her breath :op**
I wish! When I win the lottery, lol I will be flying across the pond and thanking her in person, before she applies for the restraining order. :D
hehe - I would love to meet some of you -if we travel I will expect to catch up at a coffee shop
stranger things can happen..had someone said a year ago we would be in NC having christmas dinner with scarlet...i would have said they were ready for commital
When I used to play tangle, the tanglers would have tangle conventions where they would meet eachother
the conventions were in the usa of course
There are many here I'd love to meet, and I like to think it will happen some day. There are some wonderful minds and souls here, for sure.
it would be great!
it is pretty great....
hi everyone
hi oodle
***stretches and yawns***
G'd morning oodle
Imagine a babblers convention-we would all have to have two name tags-one with our name and one with our babblers name
when I was in florida I met a group from tangle
morning oodle....**passing over a strong cup of coffee**
Im stretching and yawning for the opposite reason, its nearly bedtime
Hi oddle
morning? Morning?? MORNING??? IS that what it is????? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!
ty carlee
that's cool, oodle, did you all get along? and were they what you expected?
hi herin
no fair sandy
why no fair?
ooof..it FINALLY stopped raining here....we had I swear about a million inches of it yesterday....my electric eye night lights were on ALL day as it was so dark
oh yeah they were ... i knew helringer who lived a few blocks away from me there and Iamhungry the next town up
where are you carlee
Raining here too. Better than snow!
cool , I'm sure you guys would be great - my sister says you must all be a group of serial killers! LOL
I'm in sarnia ON
it was raining here then it freezes at night... YUCK
needless to say , she doesn't understand this game thing
serial killers? why
Rain would be wonderful - at the moment I hate the sun
ur getting what we had yesterday lori....started friday...yesterday the sky seemed so dark..and so close..i cannot remember a day where the clouds were so ominous all day long
back, smug about having beaten Word 2007 once more
and u oodle..where are u?
Joking oodle- she always laughs when I say how nice it is playing and chatting on this site
Quebec city
sandy I'm telling...
hi sprite
wb
Montreal is..in..the obvious.... and crosshair is up near georgian bay ontario
I have Canada on my wish list- we are going to do the Rocky mountain train ride and the alaskan cruise
hi oodle
take one of the sm aller ships that can do inside passage
I will keep that in mind, why is that better?
yes he was helping me with a job... but Iam stil jobless... I want out of here but one step at a time.. BUT I WANT 3 STEPS TO HAPPEN AT ONCES DAMMIT!!!
nothing like life to teach us patience, alas
get to see more...tends to be a more intellectual crowd rather then the ones who do the big stay on board for the dressy up dinners
Have you done it Carlee
patience??? uh ... what's that ???? hmmmmm????
night all
night lady
One more wine then I'm off to bed, nite herin
my mum did.......I HATE the cold... I certainly will never go somewhere deliberately colder then where I live
Okay kids, it's been a slice. Have a great day all!
oh you mean those people who stay in hospitals eh??? :-D
as in the famous prayer, oodle: "Dear God, grant me patience. AND I WANNA HAVE IT RIGHT NOW!!!"
night herin...
later lori
sandy..what kinds of wine tonight?
bbye lori
I LOVE cold and I love winter clothes too
Im sick of wearing practically nothing to keep cool - and I bet the neighbours agree!!
bye lori
hee hee hee sandy
its not summer to me until it hits 95F...until then..its winter
i think my neighbors would get sick if they saw me naked... it is NOT a pretty sight
there 3 seasons...winter..yuck and 1 week of summer here
One of our neighbours took a horse to the beach yesterday and it drowned- can you imagine how horrible that would be!
Hey oodle, Im not running around naked!!! LOL
thats very sad
what kind of wine u havig tonight sandy?
ok sorry
Evans and Tate Classic White from Margaret River
I think every naked body is beautiful in its own way
Hmmmmmm,
LOL Sprite, i
sounds lovely sandy
Im not convinced
if i ran around naked I would have gravel rash of the nipples
isn't it sad we are lead to believe we aren't beautiful to look at, unless we fit very narrow patterns of leanness and youngness?
why gravel rash?
oodle, they would drag behind me
so? Yours is a 58 yo body and is beautiful in a different way than that of a 16 yo...
uh... oh my
at a certain point in life, most things start to go south ;)
Sprite, I always take people for what they are like inside not outside
Just wanted to say there is nothing wrong with the outside either :) *end of preaching*
and some parts go more south than others
I'm watching American Idol-some of these singers are very good
is anyone enjoying todays grid?
so far I am having fun, carlee, but I am only halfway
yup our body is not who we are... but if I could get that in my thick brain, which I think has a bunch of fat around it, I could accept me the way I am. But do I???? noooooooooo.....
Not me carlee, I loved yesterday's , but today its a struggle but i only have 33 left
you should, oodle. Our body is part of what we are and works many miracles for us on a daily base.
uh this is the same brain that has been galavanting in the carribean for several days now... think it's going on a week... would it ask ME to come along? NO!!
uhoh, I said I was done preaching. Bad sprite.
Sprite,we appreciate your gems of wisdom
lol sandy!
True though! I love the way we share these gems!
ah, I do too. Sharing is a great thing in this community.
weird. got all the 8's but none of the 9's
right now I want to share that 'custard' is driving me bananas.
wtg hursh, that is much better than I
yummmm custard with bananas yum :-D
and none of those nines are plural hurshy
have them, oodle, all of them, and take them from my sight :D
I love bananas and custard
i've got 2 of the 9's none of the 8's
let's trade :)
looks like hursh and carlee can make a good deal... out loud please ;)
he's going to the prom stag, he's da8
I have one 8 only, a compound
ok...let me figure out last 9
you have to have the right mi7 to be successful. (orientation of attitude). pl for 8.
i was camping in a hurricane and suddenly found myself te8!
oh! Got that last one, thanks hursh.
which led me to the first one you clued too, thanks again.
hurshy, I just read your profile, I love that movie "Cold Comfort Farm"
Such a feel good movie
it's one of my faves :)
Mine too, I love any movie that leaves you feeling uplifted- Never like movies that make you feel sad
same here. Must see that one then.
brb
that's how i've always been although lately i like a few sad ones too
bfn oodle
Sprite, it is so full of visual metaphors, so look for them-it is a lovely film
lighthearted
will do! I have written it down.
to be without a favourite charity could mean u are ca9
oh good one, thanks
my daughter and I always remember watching Dead Poets Society (a great movie) but we both cried for a week and it took too much out of me -lol
hurshy...i need some help with the te8... im not getting the hurricane clue
to be under the texan star lit sky sky in this incorrectly spelled city would be an au9
hi rolin, being without a canvas cover
what do you sleep in when you go camping ?
ooohh
friends watched schindler's list in college - it was late when first half ended and they decided to save second half for next day - needless to say i never saw the end!
i got the sleeping part..not the hurricane part
and spent a sleepless night looking at the door expecting to see nazis come bursting in
combine the two and you have the answer
oooh..speaking of schindlers list....i went to a play in london yesterday..and thomas keneally was sitting nearby
wow cool
very good clue for that au
cool rolin
back
yeah.... i was pretty impressed..and then as we were walking out...i realised behind me was matt lucas...the guy from little britain...do you get that over in perth?
wb oodle
sprite? was it your brain with which my brain ran way together?
ty
and the in9 is a synonym ( i THINK...the word look up not wokring here ) for being disorientated....
both were away at the same time, anyway, oodle. You think they took off together?
awesome - now to find 7 more 7's...
maybe...
Tom Keneally won the Booker prize for his novel Schindlers Ark about which the film was made
this grid stinks
I am usually too scared for sad emotions to go watch a sad movie.
help with last word...co 7/36 pls?
i've got 20 to go, so i wil get list now
thanks carlee, working on the last (in) and got the others.
and it was bizarre..cos i couldnt put a name to the face at first..til we got home..there was a porgram ojn about photography in the camps..we got talking about the film and then the penny dropped..
wow kim
in 9- in + you have a s**** of well being + if you a** a huge meal
welcome... its... hmmm....if u cry on a dime.... u could be said to be too <blank> ...work witht hat as ur root for the word
ty sandy
thanks, got it :)
ok bedtime here !! see you all later , have fun , take care and be happy!
sleep well sandy :)

last word of your former post
what ever
sorry to hear that sprite...and please, don't give up !!!!! - aside from back aches, i've been pretty good - and i have kept busy - i completed last night, my top-300 Village elders stats - had done the same a couple of days ago for the Cream of the crop rankings...addresses in my profile... - raining quite a bit recently which means less shoveling which is a blessing ...
lol did you take up that task after the si4 was hacked? It was quite a mess, wasn't it!
I hope your back will behave better all the time, btw.
it's true oodle , sprite is right !
like I said, whatever
phantom consensual
pffff fiddlesticks
hey LadyN!
actually sprite, u may have noticed that the Village elders rankings were all messed up after si4 was attacked (what a mess is right !) - they came back up march 4th...
hi Lady !
hi luc!
great job, Montreal!
hi sprite!
how's Quebec city these days oodle ?
good morning everyone
Guten MOrgen, Babblers. I need help with the second co 7. What is the third letter?

hi there luc, haven't seen you in ages, missed you
hi flosey !
hey flosey and inge
ca4 of being busy and doing "stealth babbling" flosey... -- Guten tag inge !
pretty rose, flosey!

oh I have one... to agree.
I will move on and ask again later, Thanks, sprite that is the third one
snap sprite - found same - age of co7
sorry
:) :) montreal! Great mi5...
oh, I thought my phantom of earlier would have clued that....
lol sprite - great mi5 indeed !
you have a point there Lady ...but i missed it...
it should have, LadyN, guess I was a bit slow in the uptake
wat heb je gepland voor het eten eigenlijk?
lolllll I apologise... was meant to type this in msn to my hubby...
it is warming up here montreal, sorry i didn't see, til I srolled back...
same here oodle: a mix of rainy days and then very cold nights...but snowbanks are not so high anymore...
had me confused there for a second sprite !
yeah, dutch is not a common language, grin
a couple of words look like they may be translatable into english, but the rest...
i can almost make it out it's much like german
what are we going to eat for dinner?
hello all
actually, 'gepland' is an english verb made into a dutch one, lol. It says: what have you planned for dinner, btw?
yayyy Kallia, you are right. And hi :)
ah I wasn't far off then
that's what I thought
I was going to say what are you going to eat
so what are you going to eat Sprite :)
hi Kalia ! - i'm impressed by both you and oodle's "mastery" of german !
gepland is an english word? never heard of it
tyou kind sir. I have a friend in Holland who speaks to me in Dutch sometimes, so you get to recognise some words. That's about my limit though lol
my love just told me: broccoli, potatoes and (?) chopsticks.
from plan I think oodle
you do great, Kallia
chopsticks????
ja ich spreche drei sprachen oui je parle trois langues yes I speak three languages
chops?
oh ... duh thank you kallia
didn«'t see it
probably wrong word then, lol. A kind of meat, with the bone still attached.
yep chops :)
Pas oop zackenrollers!
close, but definitely no cigar for me, lol. Chops it is.
bravo oodle - i speak only 2 and a smidgen of spanish...
lol godthaab! Pas op zakkenrollers, yes.
I learnt that from the train station in Amsterdam.
pickpockets!!!!
you have a great memory, godthaab, and Kallia knows so many dutch words!
zakkenrollers -- kind of like the sound of that word !
is your first language english or frnech montreal?
I knew that from the same place lol
french oodle
lol luc, only until you fall victim to one of those!
lol
I once had a girlfriend who spoke Dutch, and her father's favorite saying (excuse the spelling) was "Faek das poop auf das ochre" whenever she couldn't find something.
je ne parle pas le Francais
well u can certainly write it Kalia !!!
not sure what that means, godthaab
lol...school days coming back to me
some many years ago Kalia...lol
Wipe the shit out of your eyes. I think it might be colloquial.
so* even
un deux trois camembert quatre biere s'il vous plait...
I took french in high school but remember very little of it, certainly can not speak or write it but sometimes can figure out what something means
oh! Veeg de poep uit je ogen! Lol, good one yes.
one two three camembert (yummy) and 4 beers please
OK. I have to write that down!
yeah, we still have the basics down, Kallia!
Bien - c'est le temps d'une pause - je n'ai trouvé que 81 mots - vais revenir - bon babbling tout le monde ! - "POOF"

how long do i have to stay in here ... sprite's tea is ready
I come and pick it up, welki :) And you can come out, nobody ever notices if you do.
ii am really interested in the reviews, not sure when it is opening. I would think they'd be really favorable, but can never be too sure
oh, sorry, yes, missed it --sound WONDERFUL
mmmmm lovely tea, thanks welki
*sounds
(my tea is twinings honeybush & mandarin orange)
on the way out tho, une, we actually had to walk in the street cause the sidewalk was jammed with folks waiting for cast to come out (presumably for James Gandolfini)
yum!
sounds good welki, i'll have a cup please
147 words found, and still 3 tiles with no words found :(
it IS fun to wait for the cast to exit *speaks from vast experience LOL*
hey lady ... you get the same surprise snowstorm we did?
keep plugging lady N.. i've found 141 and nbt.. you can do it
down to the last few words, but struggling to find them.
we had snow yesterday morning, but it wasn't unexpected... and then a skiff of it last night
Go Sprite go! You can do it. You will do it.
dorens/une .. it's one of the better non-caffeine teas i've found. can drink it hot or cold ... or tepid even (after sitting a couple of hours on my desk at work *lol*)
Hi Natts
I have clued 2 tough 7s, recently.
he did a pretty good job of convincing us he is not tony S. but there were a couple of very funny moments where the dialog made you wonder
I am up to 55 so far
that is fast, Scrabs!
hi scrabbs
supposedly he's a real teddy bear in "real ife"
go sprite, go!
noting your tea for future reference, welki, thanks!
i actually once saw him in an audience at another show. no one seemed to recognize him. and we were face to face at one point and i looked at him questioningly like, "are you??" and he gave me great conspiratorial grin and put his finger to his lips, our secret.... fun
Cu4, Doren!
cool Dorens!
thanks scrab, didn't have that word!
ooohhh, lucky you, dorens!
saw dustin hoffman in an audience years ago too... everyone knew who he was, everyone left him alone. not as cool, at least not for me
lol no, having a 'secret' together is wayyyy cooler
still can't get that I in the bottom row.... :(
Good afternoon all.:-)
People never recognize me when I am in the audience...what a relief.
Hi jacula
yay, fireworks. Toughest to find for me was the Le7
don't have to sign autographs scrabbler?
hey Jac! *hugs*
yay, sprite!!!!!!!!!!
Yahoo Sprite!!!
YAY sprite.. hi jac
No, Doren, LOL
Well done, Sprite.
my meager claims to fame: waltzed down South Street Seaport dock with Pete Seeger, drank beer with Kurt Vonnegut at McSorley's Ale House, sat with Johnny Cash at airport and had coffee in same diner as Soupy Sales
japanese word, lady N
first generation japanese, LadyN
Neato, welki
now that's some life wlki.
woot welki!~
happened over the span of many years ... i could use a meet and greet to get me back in shape :)
dorens, cool interview with Marcia Gay Harden here: http://tinyurl.com/d9bg5c
thanks une.. will do. but now i'm at 89 left and have to go climb a mountain with ken and his grandsons... bbl
Bye Doren, have fun

*peeping back in* Jac, LOVE your icon and poem! Too accurate, lol!
oh une, one more thiing... theater next door has IMpressionism with Jeremy Irons (heartthrob) and Marcia Mason and Joan Allen... think it's my next hasve to see.. not opening till next month tho
marcia mason .. classy woman, wonderful actress
Oooh, I hear nephew stirring upstairs--too early to arise, he must need to pee
Yep, back into his room
had heard about that, dorens -- droooling!!
Sprite - Thanks! Don't think Beloved's too amused about it. LOL
jacs, that is HILARIOUS
LMAO!!! Got one upstairs!
Well, he's been 'dying' for the past 4 days. I just had to comment on it.
Great drawing & poem, Jac!
Thanks, Scrabbs.
When men get a cold or the flu they regress into little boys, don't they?
Yup!
They could never deal with monthly hormone fluctuations and periods.
Nope!
...or sitting down to pee
But men are needed in this world, they do have their strengths.
I had a very weird experience on my flight out to CA yesterday
What happened, Bichon?
The flight was held up cause of a "passenger problem"
True, Scrabbs.
Uh, oh,
Bichon - what was that?
There was a French speaking woman in African garb who had very bad body oder.
They had to escort her off the plane
They couldn't seat anyone in the two rows around her.
Gosh! That's a new one!
I hope it wasn't just because she smelled bad.
Yes, a very new one.
Or was it?
Can you imagine a 6 hour flight with that in the air
howdy everyone:))
No it was because she smelled very bad
morning...ew, bichon..i needed coffee before that one, lol
Hi cwossy!
Hi Krista
scwabbys!
Hi Crossy, Krista.
woman was kicked out of massage therapy school i went to for BO and BD (body dirt, no kidding..she was filthy and we had to practice on each other
Some people have no sense of cleanliness
ewww
hi Scrabbs and Jac!
I passed 100 words
On my trip to Africa, we encountered many such people. Deodorant's expensive. We even encountered it in Germany. We were on a bus and it stopped at a school. A bunch of African students got on and it was the same thing.
It's a delicate subject
LOL Scrabbs, that's a novel way of finding words.
i keep a small fan, room deodorizer, purel and a can of lysol in my office. some of the folks i see are indigent, homeless, and smell pretty bad, too
Haha, Jac
In my experience, you don't have to find Africans in Germany to find smelly people
i'm not very worldly..is it a cultural thing maybe? what stinks to us is normal to others?
What type of work do you do, welki?
Or Vienna for that matter. I had to take the train every morning to class in Vienna, and it was amazing how bad people smelled on their way to work. Like week old funk and BO
Hi greekdiva
i'm a municipal prosecutor
Good Morning Scrabbler
I see it in my office too.
i guess stink knows no boundaries
It is cultural. Americans are considered ridiculous by lots of Europeans for our daily bathing.
The office workers or the patients Scrabs?
when i was young, i was an EMT and sometimes had to put Vicks under my nose because of odors ... you know what i mean, Scrabs
There's a difference between bathing and using deodorant.
Putting deodorant onto an unwashed body just makes the smell worse.
Mostly the parents, bichon, but we have several nurses that smoke and when they return from their smoking breaks they reek and don't know it--I hate it but boss won't say anything
And washing clothes matters too!
I'm sure we can all agree that bathing, washing and applying deodorant all matter, but when I'm stuck on in an enclosed space next to someone, I would rather them smell like soap and BO than 7 day funk. LOL just a personal preference
Lots of cultural differences, for sure
i have a sensitive schnozz .. odors affect me in a big way. that, coupled with the fact that odors are particulates, can make me gag in a heartbeat *lol*
Me too, welki!
Corner R anyone?
I'm in denial that odors are particulates. I know its factual, I just completely refuse to accept it. I've worked in a dog pound, and won't admit the stuff I've breathed in.
Scrabbs - bacon edge, different spelling.
my husband and his family were big on cologne when they moved here...they really had to tone it down for my sake..(headaches from perfumes)
Hi all. I have a friend who's so sensitive that she can barely go out in public because of perfumes and sprays. She's got multiple chemical sensitivity
TY, Jac
and plura, Scrabbs.
*plural
Aw, hydra, and hello to you!
Hi Hydra. How's the schnozz and the tooth?
NBT and past halfway--BBL
hydra,bith the wife and i are very,very sensitive to strong perfume/cologne odours
Morning! I heard somewhere that people with fine hair was more sensitive to smells and taste
Hi Scrab, Jac, Krista, greekdiva and anyone I've missed. I've just penned a silly tooth limerick: Our bodies are really fantastic, With ligaments truly elastic. But when the Divine Dreamed up our design, He should have made teeth out of plastic.
love it:)
hi hydra, phaeton (my hair is coarse)
My dentist has a poster up which said redheads are the most sensitive to pain.
LOL, Hydra. Heat-resistant plastic, I hope.
Natch!
what drives both the wife and i nuts are women who have a bath in vanillia or lavaner perfumes and body sprays
...makes you wonder what they're covering up
Or prhaps stainless steel, like that baddy in 007.
Hydra - that's true about redheads. They are also more likely to haemorrage after medical procedures or childbirth and also have less tolerance to alcohol than others.
i could go for some titanium choppers;)
phaeton..very interesting..i have baby-fine hair and am very sensitive to smells/tastes...
Er... alcohol? That would explain a lot!
so much for that theory, mine is fine and very sensitive to smells and taste...i can taste perfumes that are strong
:-D, hydra.
and jacular the seem to have a personality with...errr sharper edges;)
short-tempers? Lol.
I like the literary au9 word!
yes.. more earty in your face and brash;)..but crossy loves you all so dont kill me;)
Good, isn't it Hydra?
earthy
hyrda, liked your limerick..was on the phone during most of that conversation (my mother only calls when i'm on here...)
well, I am back. And still need a clue for co 7?36, the second co 7 word. It is the last word for my firewords. Please and thank you
'morning, Inge
Thanks Krista! Jacula's poems are the really witty ones tho'
Hydra - don't do yourself down. Yours always have me chuckling.
i did not know you are an artist, Jac..how did I miss that all these years?
Guten MOrgen, guten MOrgen, guten MOrgen meine liebben Babblers
Wie gahts Inge [excuse my nonexistent German]
should be *liebe*
aber ich bin deine LieblingsBabbler...
She's brilliant, Krista. She did a wonderful one of me in a purple hat to illustrate Wendy Cope's poem.
inge - 2nd co7.36 = 'to cheat out of money' + 'being present somewhere' + 'not just me on my own'.
Sorry, hubby German. Usually people laugh when I try a few words of German
haha! Now give me my clue!!!
No, a red hat and a purple jacket.
Krista - I've ony just starting drawing again after a gap of many years.
inge - I've clued it below.
morning diva - cool glasses on sotiris
Can anyone help with co 7/36 so I can go to bed content
lol bichon,i know just enough german to get my face slapped in a bar
thanks Jac, I am working on it
I'd like to see more, jac..do you have a site or flickr pics or something?
anike, I think it was just clued by Jac at 10:09
TY bichon and jac. Fireworks and bed time
I don't, Krista. The pics te4 to go on either my blog or on Hydra's.
Maybe I'll put some in flickr.
that would be lovely..I can't get the "to cheat out of money" part of that clue....
way to go, Anike!
Krista - co*
opp of "pro"
Happy Sunday, Babblers!
hey, judi :-)
oh...of course, thanks!
i was looking for co + that word
Hi Judi.
Sorry, I should have been clearer, Krista.
no, it was me, trust me :)
thanks, I go tit
* it*
*giggles* Good one, inge.
keep it clean, there, Inge
20 left to find and I must go and put the beef in the oven and prep the vegs.
inge - I have a pair! LOL
I still can't find the c07,36. I must be really dim today.
OK babblers, mi 5 out of the gutter, please
a late hello to Une and Judi..sorry, was deep in that clue
co 7 : co + preposition meaning to be somewhere and the personal pronoun plural of I
well, the dativ or accusative case of that plural pronoun
Oh! Thanks very much, inge and jacula. It was that pronoun plural I couldn't think of. Once i'd got that, it fell into place.
INGE!!!...i have a question for u
You see, when Jacula clues, she has been up for 6+ hours. We are all just revving up\
OK, ask away
morning all! can I have a clue for the bottom i?
Hiya, dan and carlee.
i just came into ownerchip of a brottopf.... anything special I can do with it?
Dan - the only one from the bottom I have is the Japanese immigrant. (Babblet).
danbit, try ir.....
hi Dan and Carlee
you can start by telling us what it is, Carlee, lol!
hi dan... judi...krista
Or of the genus the purple flower belongs to.
no idea, what a Brottopf is. We have a breadmachine, made in the USA
Can anyone clue in9 please :o)
Well, maybe blue.
its a bread pan....( what is the translation inge?) that is covered...and is made from terra cotta...and coated in enamel
really pretty
Halfway through and I need a rest.
Krista, look it up in google, sometimes they have German terms
in + it makes no se5 to me ( change last letter + coffe **a or me
we have a bread bread machine also..it is called crosshair:)
darn stutter
ah, I see carlee..how did you acquire such and object?
sounds more decorative than useful. Maybe to store your finished bread in?
i have a bread machine too....I inheirited this..i thought maybe SOMEONE here..would have a recipe that uses THIS type of pan
i like that kind of bread machine Crossy!
lol crossy..good for the biceps
Thanks Nanette ;-)
or carlee id use that sort of pan for the first and second rise for when you cover the dough
then transfer to standard pans
Bread man walking! Hiya, Crossy!
maybe.... i cooked a pot roast in it..turned out very nicely
lol..judi is funny:)
carlee, I will forward your question to my German penpal in Krefeld, We usually correspond on Sundays per PC
lol Judi
thanks inge ( DON"T reveal the pot roast incase I made a major booboo there )
But Crosshair you would have to grease it, or the yeast dough would stick
if it worked, it's not a boo boo..it's a creative use for it :)
i used to do my first and second rise on a nice oak board with a light dusting of flour
bottom i is is5/10, in case anyone is still looking for it :-)
*pokes crossy in his doughboy tummy*
did anyone ever find out what happened with Lickety?
ha, I googled it. It is for storing unpackaged bread loaf
back again
yes Krista, someone said earlier mrp found him asleep in the bathroom
im not the po-on-fresh dough boy..poke me and die;)
lol inge..who would have figured...oh, thanks Flosey...whew
Whaaa? That's funny. Hope Lickety's okay.
pop-in-fresh*
he has the flu flo?
no further comment was made
lol @ flu-flo
*pictures Lickety snoozing in the bathtub*
well, I have done that and woke up quickly when a rush of water washed over my shoulder
Brottopf addendum: has been used for more than 200 years to keep bread fresh for several dasy
we always learn so much here in the chog
so it is a bread storage unit
Brottopf, was is dist?
always room for yet another interesting titdbit
does anyone have a clue for au9 please?
carlee, has one, and did not know what it was for
at leat she didnt use it as foot bath for her purple feet:))))
au + ***reo + misspelled night
thanks inge
ok crosshair, and what color are your feet?
blotchy
lol, Crossy. I don't think that's a color. It's more of a condition.
Purple with pink blothces
I am taking a break. Crossy is speechless.
Clue for the ca9,please?
having no reason judi ca5 + le4

I never realized earthquakes had their own season. Although, come to think of it, I suppose the lunar phases could have something to do with it.
We call it the SPring FLing..
What fun. Do you and your neighbors have a race to see who can evacuate their houses first?
we have races to see who can put away the breakables away the quickest..
All things considered, I'd rather experience and earthquake than a tornado.
I scream! You scream! We all scream "tsunami!"
thanks for ca9

peri... did you go to hawaii? ... with the leis around plutos neck and yours looks like it is Disney in Hawaii eh?
i'm surprised you did not work
I think you mean me, Oodle!! It was breakfast with the characters at the Polynesian at WDW
the name of the restaurant is O'Hana
had no idea, Owl, guess it depends on which agency one is registerd with. I am sort of registerd with Manpower
oops yeah sorry judy<
I would love to go to Hawaii
peri, i would begin with the sourfe, the PHS website had stuf. also the conevention & visitors bureau and philadelphia cares.
i volunteered for preseidential summit since iknew it was the only way i would be aboe to go and see anything
it was great.
? sourfe? presidential summit? I am confused, Owl
never even thought of volunteering at the Flower Show, maybe next year
the phs ran the show. they ahd opps on their website. phila cares also has volunteer opps for events such as the pres summit held here years back, and the fourth of july celebrations.
as well as the flower show. the tourism and travel bureau also has opps.
PHS stands for?
will need to check those out, even if I don't make money, I can meet new people and learn new things, thanks Owl
philadelphia horticultural society
i kno i know... philladelphia high school :-D

play on broadway
like the black and white cartoon Dondi? sad looking little guy?
are you not doing your broadway thing this year? jbv. it's a broadway show not open yet with Jeremy Irons, Joan Allen and Marsha Mason.. about a gallery owner who meets JEremy Irons (lucky her) and the whole dating scene at middle age
yes, welki - big eyes, mop of black hair, that's him
I have been on couch since Friday...tired of soup and orange juice
have you tried antibiotics yet?
TY VM, pbr, and I hope you feel better - I've got what you've got, and am better today.

I am not great at clues, but glad that one helped

don't think i can afford a trip this year, dorens :-(
ist ou4 anagram of the next
ts + anagram of first *** when you have a booboo
there was an NPR segment about it a couple of days ago
ts + ***os (spanish good bye)
I'm pumping Vitamin C, Mucinex, Aleve, and EpiCor (for the immune system), and it's working - I prefer not to mess with antibiotics unless they're REALLY needed...
I got that one ty. It's the ou5 I need
i'd never get over bronchitis w/out antibiotics!
sorry une, and yes. my friend at dinner last night told me he heard it yesterday on npr... am going to check it out later when i have a chance
i'm now living thru YOU, dorens! LOL
mhm... same here, i only use antibiotics when necessaire, but real bronchitis always seems to need it
Met--I have a long history of asthma and bronchitis mixed--have to go the antibiotic route. .. this time though my chest really hurts -even to breathe
so keep those theatre reviews coming!
wish i could put you in my pocket une
me too . . . sigh
Got it! thanks you guys 8)
Sorry to hear that, pbr - have you bee to the doc's, yet? it sounds serious....
oh yeah, doctor on Friday..complete with codeine cough syrup
this will probably be it for a while, but my friends last night raved about 33 variations... of course they are very musical... he is Emanuel Ax's lawyer.... who I met at their wedding.... and then he ended up at the restaurant we were eating at last nite and came over to say hi.
stuck with 50 to go, time to hit hte list
OOOH - the good stuff!!
i just did too j, with 75 left... you're a better man than I am
have heard good things about that as well, dorens . . .
they raved, really
ohhhh, emmanuel ax
once got tickets sitting on the stage behind him and yoyo ma... maybe the best musical experience of my life!
30 more to go!!!!!
i was thinking that, if there was to be a pair of living artists i'd like to see on stage together, it'd be ax and ma
go turtle go
second would be (and the living stipulation doesn't fly in this scenario) glenn gould and yo yo ma
phenomenal... and we (my mom's bday,, and i got the tickets for the best present of her life) sat maybe 6 feet away
idol
dorens, i think we may be related :)
hahaha... are you a redhead?

you can hold the left touchpad button down and scroll with your other finger on the touchpad
then it depends on what kind of touch pad you're using .. you might have to program the functions on that, too. if you put two fingers on the main part of the pad and gently pull down towards yourself, it might scroll for you

I have a 2nd language, but it's us7 here...
the last one bichon
The last one after the two ends.
when i was young, i could get by in quebec when i visited .. now that i am old, my ~sign language~ isn't as easily understood (or welcomed) lolol
is5 = is + sen*** (martial arts master)
<-- signs, too, welki :)
na5---2 Mr.Hawthorns?
na 5/10 is man's nickname, but pl
ty pini
thx bichon
and pug
TY, Bichon
And you too, Ms Pug
:P
i think i misled you, pini .. i don't know asl (sign language) .. i was referring to other sorts of "signs" :)
TO - a tin ca* and ego
oh THOSE kind...
ty becca
thx becca
could get away with it "back in the days" ;)
I'm familiar with THAT language, too, welki...you're right, it's usually not very welcome (anywhere)
co6/21 and 7/32 pls?
jacket+double vowels temple
co6--jacket + 2 vowels
first ca 5/12?
well if you just use bonjour s'il vous plaït bienvenu and aurevoir they will be more than happy
ca5--add a cons to the 4
however if you just come up to them speaking english they will ignore you
co7/35?
ca5 thou ever love me, oh fair juliet...
plural the 6 temple
well that is just rude. not everyohne speaks french.
alhtough i beleive a tourist should n=master the basics
i have the opposite effect... alot of people start speaking to me in English which infuriates me
co7---not pro + fl**** or gas (belly kind)
that's right TO
egads ... why not just listen to people the way they're comfortable speaking?
co7/36 there is no 6 to plural
just clued it ti
oops TO
don,t understand that welki reformulate please
pug, spealing to mm. kust excplained i am having difficulty getting used to new puter. will not bother you, will go to a to z happy babbling
if you understand both, what's the harm? i wish i was fluent in french or spanish or german or arabic or swahili .. but i'm not. would hate to think my whole experience visiting someplace new could be ruined because i don't have a command of a different language (and i agree with you, owl .. the basics, yes, every tourist should try to learn some)
Not getting the ts 5 ..help, anyone? I know it's probably something we've seen often...
why would it infuriate you, oodle, if someone spoke to you in english? what difference does it make if you understand both? (is what i was trying to say)
whenever we travel to a non- English speaking or German or Hebrew speaking country, we always try to learn a little bit of the language and not ask for a menu in English. It does pay off in friendliness.
because I spoke to them in french and I don,t like speaking in english unless I have to
ts+**vertising+ not you but *
Having lived in S. Africa where there are 11 official languages, I can tell you that ppl are flattered when you know a bit of their language (everyone knows English there, tho)
yes, i agree bichon .. but even if you didn't, would that be a reason for being ignored or treated badly?
Happy Babbling ALL! OFF TO CHECK EMAIL & ooops (sorry for caps) and shower....
Oh, yes, fuquay...now I remember that one!!
Bye, dear - talk to ya soon!
Thx, fuquay...and to all who have been clueing...just got back on and have 39 left...seems daunting for some reason...time change today making me sluggish!!!
me too, jimmel, 39 here as well
haven't gotten the list yet, though
I'd say "let's race," but I'm pretty sure I'd lose!!
no, I wouldn't expect to be treated rudely, but we always observe American tourists [or Israelis] abroad and they can be obnoxious
people in old quebec are mostly anglo-friendly however if they don't understand you they will ignore you... I was even speaking to someone in french and she totally ignored me.
44 here...
No, I've been trying to monkey instead of using Lickety...like to get down in the teens first, but it's slow today
probably the same gal who'd want preferential treatment here in calgary, where no one would know what SHE was saying ... but folks here would try to help her anyway
wasn't even anything that would be considered as a come-on...
Oooh...come-ons in French are delicious, oodle!
your right but the quebeckers aren't like that...at least in my experiences
i've been at the receiving end of that sort of ignorance (can you tell?) and it's upsetting and frustrating, especially when it's something important you need to ask
hee hee hee jimmel ... it wasn't
(and when you understand some french and can tell what they're saying .. lol)
like, "Where's the nearest restroom?" ;)
Well, French just SOUNDS so good!
most likely they don't understand english... most will do their best to understand and help but alot who don't won't
the little tiny house in the back pinikula
I think the frustration goes both ways...
gee, thx, oodle! LOL
and now we need language to help another person out? sorry, oodle, i disagree with you...if you can't understand someone's language, you stil don't ignore them
When I traveled solo through Europe...I simply hung out with others from the Youth Hostels...at least one was bound to know the local language (or enough to fake it)!!! :)
hello, sa5/14 pls
yep, jimmel, you're probably right. being helpless is frustrating too
it's not me.. it's what I experienced
apologies, oodle .. i inferred that you got irritated when people spoke to you in english
My daughter-in-law is half Indonesian/half Chinese and is fluent in English for the most part, but gets tongue-tied at times and gets worn out trying to translate all the time...same is true in other cases, I'm sure
ohhhh that I do
sorry
Okay, back to the grid for me....
think we are going to go in circles here... NEXT SUBJECT PLEASE :-d
no harm, no foul, oodle .. still buds?
I think I'll stick to my sign language... ;-)
just frustrating for me when I try my best and they assume that I would rather speak in english... that's what I am saying
cu4/6 (#1) plz?
Pini, I think it is your turn in Scramble
to swear, colloquially
I can't get in scramble
* blink * It is??? well I'll just pop right out and back again...
always wanted to learn sign language

hi pini - easy 238 or heinous 238?
come on in, the water's fine, kje. if you can cream me like that on scrabble, should be no problem
um...uh...medium/hard?
hahaha fuq
if you're great in sramble...then it should be easy/medium for you!!!!

I was just slaughtered, so I'm probably not a good one to ask! :)

i have itunes...
hold on...will get link for you
can get iTunes online for free from the Apple site
http://www.apple.com/downloads/
Sorry...I'll think good thoughts about the PB for you, jmc...being a smarty pants keeps me from having to try to finish this grid!
ty pini
wonder why you would need iTunes to play Scramble????
I am still pretty much a newbie on facebook games
I'm very much a newbie, jmc, but having great fun
just added you FQ ;)
I just added you too fuq
evening everyone
hi all
fuquay, I'll add you too if I can get FB to load for me
I don't understand how to get into games like scramble -- got one invite and my computer froze in the middle of the and never found my way back
hi nrkii
hi katie
I like scramble I'm just rubbish at it, Ata is a demon on it
on the other hand I don't really NEED another way to kill time--time is getting pretty p****d off
hi katie
Katie...maybe you and I should play against each other...the others slaughter me, too! :)
Lol since I gave up doing babble for Lent I have caught up with my ironing, decorated a bedroom and taken up my cross stitch again
I'm not so good at Scramble... I freeze in the last 3rd of every round LOL
well done, katie...
that would be nice pini, it gets embarrasing against the others
so just here to "chat"???
ooo I gave up driving my car to work
anytime, katie! :)
Yep, Ata & I agreed that it wouldn't be breaking the rules
seems reasonable to me katie
I have you beat jmc... I gave up driving my car to work, AND I gave up work... :)
lol nrkii
as long as you keep the grid covered, you're good (I agree with ata)
any luck on the job search, nrkii?
hi, have about 3 minutes here! as6/18 please?
I couldn't give up any food as I've been on a diet since January so it's all had to go anyway

bye feather
ty pini & nrkii
by feather
my board will keep me until there is no more money so at least I don't worry about that
I have a 5/14 that builds on sa 4/4, smart alecky behavior
i do worry about the money part tho
bye feather
I don't have an sa 4/5 and 5/14 combo there yet
ty that would be the one
yeah, being unemployed would be great if it weren't for the lack of money
I work for a Government Body so should be a little safer but hubby is in manufacturing and every Friday is a worry

A lot of our local government are laying people off at the moment
thanks pini
sa6: french 'without' plus two vowels (similar to martial arts teacher)
TO, I'm hoping I can stay here in Lambertville, and keep making enough money to stay here in Lambertville... that makes the job search a little tricky
hi guys
ty fuqu!
I suppose being furlowed at this point is better than being laid off...just wish all were experiencing the same rules...sadly...that's not the case...
govt agencies everywhere including trenton area
I have to find a job that will support me in the manner to which I've been accustomed to living... LOL
right I'd better go off, even with a flex on the rules I think 15 is the max
otherwise, I'll have to dump my house, which would be very bad
bye katie!
i worked for call center, so may get called back, but no guarentees, depends on if they can get contract signed
and phila area - not the best commute but doable
hmmmm, I could check out trenton... thanks TO
bye katie, happy lent!
yeah I apparently can't spell the martial arts teacher
I would def do Philly, possibly even NY if I had to
bye katie
Good luck on the job front everyone x
thanks katie
had a perwson living in flemington and commmuting to cc phila but high graded
ty katie
high graded?
May I have a ne 7/28 clue please?

hi all, in to finish last 25
I have a staff person living in Baltimore and commuting to DC--I could never do that I freak out if I have to commute more that 20 minutes
a very daring tightrope walker, Krista, working ne7
jmc....when you plural a word ending in Y, you change it to an I and add two letter...for the martial arts master...simple turn them around (sen+***)

i was having probs with Scrabble Beta for two days..at kje's suggestion, I removed app then reinstalled it..it worked, and I didnt lose my games..assuming you mean on FB
okay, 19 to go here... going in search of list
it was at the bottom of the same damn page
*nevermind* (in Emily Litella voice)
y'all are not cooperating and asking for clues for words I don't have!!!!
sorry nrkii I will try to be better what clue should I ask for?
sorry, nrkii, what don't you have?
thanks for the idea krista - I have a game I haven't been able to pull up in Srabble Beta and I will try that - watch out jellen!!
LOL jmc... a C or an S would be good :D
nrkii - how about the au9???
ok now I don't know if I need iTunes now
glad someone saw that, Birdee...was wondering about Jellen..haven't seen her lately
I am not listing yet so need a better clue to ask for a clue ;-)
I don't have the AU9, but now I'm going to hunt... thanks!!!
author jane + short for opp of day

add that ending to anyword and it should work today :)
Once again, fuquay, I doff my hat to you with many thanks
anytime, metfan (curtsy)
hi, all...
hi pam
hi pam
hi pam
I didn't know you could plural the second no4/5!
oh geesh..i just tried that ending on te 4/4..it is actually a word..the 8/40..
hi pam
hi, nrkii, fuq, jm, krista...
so another report about the bad economy ... on 60 minutes
guess they want to make sure we know, shirl
sa6, 7 (lower set)
Lurking fireworks....
wtg met
hi pam
not saying that this is not a crisis, but really is there NOTHING else to talk about?
hi krista
hi, met and TO.
yay met!
COngrats, met and all finishers...
every report is "in this bad economy" "how to save $" etc. etc.
Hey Pam & thanks
Shirlock, you know the phrase, "If it bleeds, it leads?"
I liked that all three broadcast stations last night did a story on how many people were applying for jobs
I agree, shirl... wish they would focus their attention on curing my weather headaches...
watching bbc america. there is a website where guys can donate $ to give women breast implants. philanthropy of a sort
OY, TO
Couldn't have done it without Fuquay's peerless cluing.
well, it hit home, so most people now know someone that has been laid off or they have been themselves
but to have the Today show have "tips on how to save $?" these are things you should be doing anyway!
that's nuts to
i kid you not
ok, my last 10, here we go
yay, metfan!
for some reason, people just enjoy watching bad news on TV, and the news agencies know that
however i have been told one has to have issues to understand it
you'd be surprise how many people never had to save money so have no clue how
go feather
it's like livingroom rubbernecking
YAY, FEATHER
go feather!!!
i don't watch the news, for mostly that reason.
i am waiting for the news show that shows all of the good things govt does and how each saves money.
that's part of the problem, i never understood people who lived paycheck to paycheck
I usually watch the Daily Show for news
fireworks!
ok ONLY 225 more words!!! WHOOOOOOPEEEE YAHOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEE :-d
pini, did you get the sa6/7? sa+adolescent?
I haven't watched the news in forever. Reading it these days....
well shirl, doug and i did that when we were first married...i was in grad school, he was working for a construction company
WHOO HOOO NRKII!!!
ok how much do i pay someon to mail me a list of the t words?
well some people have no choice but to live from paycheck to paycheck shirl
yeah oodle, go baby go
yay I finished!
yay nrkii!
the Pew did a study that said the people who watched the daily show and colbert are among the most informed :)
wtg nrk
there are t words?
yay, nrkii!
yay pav!!
that's me -- well informed!
yay pav!!
I lived that way for years as single mom, make less than 15000 a year
wtg pav
does anyone else think colbert is getting weird? egotistical?
le7/44 please?
colbert is always nice to Eleanor Holmes Norton
ok TO it was working all along I just had to go to the bottome of the page...
some people were raised in a paycheck to paycheck mentality, and never broke out of it... they have trouble understanding people who save money for later
i know people do live that way, i just couldn't do it myself
you are talking like everyone has a choice
even when i was a grad student making close to nothing, i put $ away
I like people in here more betterer, more friendlier
brb ... need pain assistance
you would be suprised what you can do when you have to
going to see what is on tv
le 7 44 = season leading up to Easter + enter at your own R***
there are times I do when my org. doesn't have enough money to pay me and my staff--staff gets paid; I don't
well no wonder i couldn't get it! thanks
TO, can I help you with those T's???
my ex inlaws were like that. to her credit ex MIL refused welfare raised three kids
my parents were/are like that TO... and my brothers and I were raised that way
stuck on the three na words
I qualified for food stamps but never did it because i thought it would look bad for a lawyer
so it's always life on the edge for us...
na + I don't want to act any more, I want to ***ect
no6 please?
i guess my non-understanding comes from people who max out their credit cards buying clothes etc. they don't need every weekend
then plural for na6
no6 is plural of no 4/5 french looking word
they are gimmiee i think just have had it with this grid
I don't understad, nrkii... ***ect???
"need" is a subjective evaluation shirl... tough to understand
ty nrkii
that's one thing we never did, even when we were paycheck to paycheck. i used a credit card in college, realized the dangers, paid it off, and swore to never use one again. we're just not disciplined enough to pay it off each month, so better to not use it at all and pay with what we have at the time or save up.
the person in charge of the actors pam
pam, not the actor, not the producer, but the ***ector
food stamps, eh, jmc... this whole system needs overhaul....
Oliver Stone is a great ***ector pam
thanks, nrk and jmc
last summer, before our budget crisis turned extremely serious, the salaried staff (supposedly) were asked to volunteer to work one day a week less, for the lesser amount, to allow hourly staff to continue without reductions...I doubt anyone agreed...and I couldn't fathom that beca5 I'm one of the lower salaried staffers...I wanted to see proof from the execs and directors before I would commit most make 50-80% more than I and many were given increases before the mess started...I haven't seen an increase since 10/06
how about se6/18?
I use credit cards because my income goes up and down like a roller coaster and they smooth it out but other people use them even when they have money
i never have had a credit card
I went through training several years ago to be a foster parent, and one of the things they taught us was that kids who have grown up without possessions tend to think they need things that you or I might think are inconsequential... they become horders sometimes
good point jmc
I pay cash for everything, no cash, no nothing
se6/18: group of six musicians
I was using my credit card 'cuz they offerred money back on the % of purchases...now they're raising the rate
I use credit cards because I get incredibly good interest rates on them that are better than anything I could get for car loans, etc
sure there are people who abuse credit cards, etc., but when the minimum wage is so low that people cannot support themselves, there's more to poverty than personal irresponsibility..that certainly exists, but there is still a "poverty is a moral issue" attitude in this country..i will stay off my social worker soapbox, though
me I would rather eat cherly even when I don't have cash
As someone who lives paycheck to paycheck - and uses credit cards because she HAS to - you are invited to spend a month in my shoes. Then you can judge me.
I just don't get that music group clue...can someone dummy it down just a little?
the one card I have that is higher interest that gives me points, I pay off every month
like that soap box myself
yep, thats why I stock up on groceries when I have a chance
grannyg, yep, everybody's POV is entirely different
usually the se6 is spelled with the 24th lttr in the alpha
not a string quartet but a string se**** six musicians
se 6 18 - se + the editors word for "keep it the same"
not judging anyone, couldnt get a credit card if I tried
You are so right nrkii and I wish I didn't have to live the way I do.
se6 = music group of 6, but change the 2nd cons. to the snaky one.
does the no6,21 build off the no4 before it?
IMHO, I think those that make the most money should be the ones to consider accepting furlow days so those that are barely making it don't suffer while they continue to prosper...
so dont have that option
opera quiz is over for this week - back for my last 12
please don't think i'm being judgemental, wasn't trying to be. I'm talking of people I know who buy on credit for things that they don't need and never think of saving
yes, faith it does
THANK YOU for the music group!!! finally got it! :)
I agree pini
Pini, I would have taken that option in a heartbeat
go birdee
exactly Pini...that's progressive ness - something not se4 here most days
taking self to PB...i know i know...
no shirl, i didnt think you were...i totally agree with you about that..i just think there are so many people doing that, that not enough attention is paid to underlying issues creating/perpetuating poverty
sadly, I work at a Uni and the faculty are immune from taking furlow days while the admin staff may have to ... sad, very sad ...
Shirlock, I don't think you're being judgmental... just hard to understand others when they come at things from a completely different world view
(the kind not self-made)
**looking for PAV3's pb word..hope i need it...*
I work for a university and everyone, including the president, has been forced to take furlough days
I always pay my credit card bill in full and on time. It's just a convenience, not having to carry cash around.
when last our place was talking of layoffs, my friends who are i their forties now asked me how to save. i told them payrolll savings to begin with, striaght to bank or to bonds
interesting law

ugh..poor pam..
I didn't recommend strong arms..
I do highly recommend this one though.
bet you can get it for $7
oa x 2 (1st one's)?
ruru- still looking for the boxed wine you recommended...it was also in Men's Jounral I think as a good pick...
which one was that pav?
which box?
The guy at the liquor store recommended the strong arms... at least they had the Cote du Rhone!
Which box?
the water spots in the desserts
the cote du rhone
water spots for box of wine?
midnight at the oa
thx pav
tonight is a liquor night for me... no wine, just lemon drops
oa5 the water spots in the dessert
cotes du rhone in a box?
the cote du rhone I am drinking when I drink is Cosme
cosme is good
lemon / buddha bliss drops are yummy
1st ou5?
I think you recommended it, ruru
yep Cote in a box...they were highlighting boxed wines
wow.. never heard of it.. I do love cotes du rhone though
us7 please?
could I have a clue for the first sa6 please?
ou5...of coun*** legal staff
ou 5 + ***dom is heard a discouraging word
worth nothing and unuseable forward
us7 = of no value
Oh, you recommended Autard, and they were out, so the guy recommended Cosme and you seconded
thx BR
wait till you try the 2007's coming in.. wowie
what are buddha bliss?

sounds good, doesn
Try to find the 2007 Domaine de la Solitude Cotes du Rhone Rouge ($11)
oops..sounds good, doesn't it..the lemon buddha bliss thingy
2nd sa6, 7 combo? (know the first 4 letters...after that it's downhill)
..and I think my monkeys went on strike
buddha bliss is a lemon vodka, lemon juice, sugar syrup, limoncello and a sugar rim.. yummy
thanks, ruru, I added it to my wines cyber list
sa 6 -- beach stuff:sa*d and most of spanish six
thanks Pini
mmmmm - mine is lemon juice, sugar rim, cirtus vodka, and citronage
sa6 = sa4 (meaning without) + vowels a * * o u,and its pl for sa7
oh wow, now that sounds amazing, ruru
the other set, BR
what'd I do, flosey???
that sounds really good kje
Can I just say that I am so annoyed that my 2.5 oz glasses, called 2.5's are hurting my face, THAT's how bad this sinus migraine is....And, I can't even lie down--hurts more....
sa 6 -- add 13 - 19 and pl
OK done venting and thanks for listening
Hi everyone!
i used to make Absolut lemonade a lot..forgot about that
Ouch, Pam - sounds horrid! :(
sorry pini, thought it was clue for me
sorry pam!!!

Is there anything you can take, that would help alleviate that pain?
lindylouwho!
pam.. get some riedel syrah glasses...
hey Kje!
i've been sick all weekend with the atmospheric sinus crap, pam, i feel for you
I don't know what if anything woudl work for migraines, as I don't get them . . .

thanks BR, finally got it
flosey, I clued the first sa 6

Ruru, how would you rate 2005 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste?
OMG ruru - you are STILL a freakin' drug addict - LOL

I clued Both
hb andree
sa6 = sa + troubled kid years after puberty and pl
nice glasses, those, ruru
thax rbud!!!!
very high.. lindy.. they are a really good producer.
that luxurious fabric sa5 (not here today) only fake...is sa6 and its pl
Oh cool! I have 2 bottles!
they are really worth it pam.. you should buy a two pack.. they are somewhat fragile though so you have to be careful with them
I can't do the vodka, don't have a script for imitrex, but I get your point, ruru!!!!
4th se4/4...have monkeyed all the way around it apparently
Lead crystal, I can see me dropping them, LOL, but I will look into it...
2005 is the greatest bordeaux vintage since 1961 and 1982 and probably better than either of those
la la la la la (not listening to this - LOL)
Pini...babblet for spanish six
you can buy the vinum series without lead
what aren't you listening to, kje?
Unfortunately hubby won't let me drink it for a few years!! )0:
oh, duh, thx pav
the whole mixing drugs thing : )
Krista????? still hanging in there??
he is smart.. keep it cool and dark for several years
I found them at sur la table, but I will look....
yeah we are buying a wine cooler!
When I get migraines.. I throw drugs at it and go to bed...I can't take the pain
look on line pam, you can likely find them less than sur la table
LOL, kje... I have a script/advice for a synergistically approved mix. It can work....
ROFL Birdee..nah, about to give up and watch bad TV:) i rarely finish
bed bath and beyond pam.. is the best price
I can't lie down with them... and my whole life, I have learned to tolerate the pain better than I thought....
you good egg!
good investment lindy loo
what bad tv are you going to watch?
ooo - bed bath and beyond.. what a lovely thought... maybe I'll do bath bed and beyond
LOL
er .. house>?
I will keep looking and find them, thanks! I kind of like my wine glasses, but I don't love them... I love my scotch glass, though!
LOLOLOL, kje
That story in your profile is hilarious, Lindrickway! :)
thanks JC!
so booze loosens more than the tongue
We should call you bubbles kje...
see, krista, I rarely finish but watch bad tv and stay on chog, LOLOL
ruru - I like House too but I was asking Krista what she was going to go watch
I'll have to think of something amusing to put in mine, when I got pro sometime over the next few days - probably tomorrow, if I get around to making a PayPal account. Should be able to squeeze that in . . .
I do love bubbles... bubble bath, champagne, foam on coffee... hehehe
LOLOL, kje
look forward to that JC

Oh, I am just not following chog, I guess!

LOLOLOLOL
Well - off for more cooking stuff - back at the flip

* up

ROFLMAO, ruru
bye Ms Birdee
i don't watmmmm, my sushi just arrived
could u tell me how many words there are by any chance
we kicked him out of texas awhile back, like in the 80's
which is good, since I think the lemon drop has gone to my head
238
hello anyone
excellent, kje!
oh thanx
salmon tower again, pam
cherllyq63
oh yeah now he is beverly hills with the rest of those ego freaks
kje, I have to say, if I ate sushi, that salmon towe would be ADDICTIVE
(hates salmon)
i just ordered sushi again
i do like that phil calls a spade a spade... a lot of those people need a good verbal slap
two nights in a row
hi, tragic
it is AWESOME pam... if you ever come to dallas, I will get you one!
hi pam :)
thanks, kje!
(he is so fake)
how can you hate salmon???? it comes in so many forms?
don't care for the taste of it.. too fatty
whats real, he hires people so he can slap them around
I cook it all the time for Mrs. Ru.. and I can't stand the smell of it either..
course most talk shows do that
I had a dr phll moment with a patient today - she is anorexic and was misdiagnosed as depression and hides behind religion... i called her bluff... she didn't like it... i told her tough... she will stay until she gains weight (BMI of 12)
it is better raw, ru... try it raw
that is a tough disease
good for you, kje! Was she a senior citizen?
Are you a doctor, kje?
yes ru... very sad, and she is 29, so even tougher than teenagers
I lost a friend at 34 who was 5'1" and weighed 65 pounds for far too long.....
yes jc
UGH, kje
a BMI of 12!!!!!! WTF!
***checks personal BMI.. way above 12 ***
I see! And yes, very sad - that anyone would feel a 'need' to do that to themselves.
did my turn, kje...my points didnt show up, got nervous for a second..had to go out of game then back in..wacky thing
my team said she has been dx with depression... i said, no, she has a eating disorder!
it's ridiculous, kje.....
i lost a friend when I was 14, she was 16, she died of anorexa, (sp), her parents didn't even notice something was wrong
That's horrible, kje - she must be skin and bone?!
god I hope so ru... BMI of 12 is all bones
that was too many years ago
se7?
Such a hideous, insidious disorder....
how can someone NOT notice skin/bones?
very hard to treat, even as inpatient
They don't see themselves as skinny pini.. they are ill
they were rich and never home, she was an only child raising herself
hopkins took a different approach to these patients than most... refuse to engage them until their weight gets up as there is no way their brain works normally when it is that starved... i like that approach better than this whole psycho babble crap - it is a behavoiral disorder and she is incapable of making decisions until she gains weight and her brain has food
but others around them don't notice, ru???
it isn't that easy pini..
I LOVE that approach, kje! And, they should insist the people around them get some assistance in dealing....
sad, very sad
it's a family disease, for sure, Pam
sk5/18?
We know a woman who struggles with it and her self esteem daily...her brain doesn't register the reality of certain death.
OK, my head still hurts..... GRRRRRRR
UGH, ruru
it is horribly sad, pini... and not in a small part b/c she has gotten away with it for a year while people played around with her "depression" and trying to treat her with meds... which of course has not worked... now she will get more attention than she wants
poor pam..
i bet, kje!
they can also give Oscar-worthy performances, like alcoholics
Isn't there a big clinic for it in texas kje?
my friend was a juvenile diabetic angry at the world and refused help... She manipulated her insulin for YEARS, but 85 lbs.... UGH
no idea ru
Absolutely une..l.very true
it's not as easy to tell it's anorexia before they lose a lot of weight, though, if they are hiding the behaviors from everyone
INDEED, une
anorexia nervosa, i mean
yes, what une said
krista - BMI of 12!!!!
did rounds with a plastic surgeon in pre-med days -- there was an anorexic burn victim whose skin grafts wouldn't take. Very sad.
sk#5 has doubles on end
thx cherly
I have to say, kje, that sounds like she'd have difficulty standing and walking
it didnt start out that way..i'm saying before she got to that point
oh, jilli.....
rehi everyone
well good for you for helping her kje
hi pam
hi all!
kje (Dr. Philetta)
yes, I was quite upset after talking to this woman, b/c I know the prognosis is poor in someone who has anorexia nervosa at her age... and can't get through to her
hi, oodleberry
sr4?
aaaaagggghhhh - NO RU!!!
sr + to be
tube-feeding, kje?
thx ru
ooooh, just broke 10!!!!
is there a goal she can work towards outside of weight gain, kje?
well, she has decided to eat for now... I think she hopes we will discharge her if she eats a meal or 2... I quickly dissuaded her and told her she will stay until she has gained about 20 pounds... and she cried
always forget that one, ruru, thanks!
anyone watch extreme makeover home edition?
i believe it will be treated with meds one day..some studies show familial patterns (the one I read used adopted children so they couldnt sat it was learned behavior) and that it had relationship with ocd
doesn't matter at this point pam... she needs brain food first... all the rest will have to wait for several weeks
poor thing -- thinks she's fat, I guess
good point, kje
shoot, knew I was forgetting something I normally watch..was it good, oodle?
yeah.. don't mess with Dr. PHiletta
it is a control issue, krista... very related to OCD and perfectionism
ts?
Krista- you can watch Olly in a bit!
what is her first name kje
oh i wont forget him, dont worry :)
ts + not BC + vowell
OK... will stop... it was just a rough day... too many tough discussions
I will remember her in my prayers
yep, kje..everyone i have known with it i can totally see that
yes let's change the subject
thx ru...woud never have gotten that one!
have great admiration for what you do, kje
hi une
I missed it last week Krista, so I can watch for 2 full hours. woohoo!
hey, oodle :-)
hi une and I second that about kje
oh it was good last week! you'll love it!
howdy, jilli :-)
Pam.. do you know Michael Chiarello?
it's my one guilty pleasure Krista- cuz you know, I'm so busy cleaning house LOL
Yes, I do, ruru.... I mean, I don't personally know him, but I know of, and likehis work
oh yes, me too, MagMom
Not like Keller, Bourdain, and Marco PIerre White, though whom I adoreeeee!
I just ate in his new restaurant... it was really good
do you know him, ruru?

Oh, how cool you are stimulating the economy, ruru!

yes, about how to keep it clean
as a quick aside, and then I'll drop it, I apologize ru if I offended you since you have a friend with an eating disorder... I was just venting and should not have been doing so in the chog - just forgive me
es geht mir gut, danke
where is the restaurant ru?
:-)
i thought we were all just discussing it, then it seemed like someone thought someone was offended...sorry if I had anything to do with it..downside of written communication
not a problem kje.. I appreciate that you are trying to help someone with a hopeless situation.. it is tough to do what you are doing.
kje: http://www.botteganapavalley.com/

Yaay for Pearl. I bet she is enjoying it.
ca5/12--second one?
thanks, red....
that's great, mag!
Scrabs you would be so proud of my six year old granddaughter. She went to visit grandparents in Sweden and they tried her out with cross country skiing. She took to it like a duck to water.
box of wine + not out strabs
Yahoo, magmom--let's do it! Wt loss and get into shape!
Do you know whose turn it is to start a Scrabble game, Scrabbler?
scrabs that is...sorry
Go ahead, Krista, I don't care who starts
i was in a great routine until the last cold..no excuses after this weekend
I have that ca6, ruru
ok scrabbs
I'm going for it Scrabs. I have an autoimmune disorder that makes my joints hurt terribly, but I try to just walk through it.
need the first and last se5,10 please?
well, i'll do it with you, mag
Scrab, I lost count of what you need.
Let's support each other, magmom!
the 2nd ca 5/12 is the pl of what you take your clothes in on vacation
the second ca5/12
sorry to hear that, MagMom..it's difficult enough without adding that problem
OK, throw a fish at me!
OK so Scrabs isn't impressed. I'll go back to lurking.
ist se 5: add first vowel
my good friend just moved back here from GA, so it makes it easier to have a buddy to go with
Frances the chat is moving so fast. How old is your daughter??
great, mag!!!!
se 5 (last) se 5 before it,kcahnge the last vowel
She is my granddaughter red and she is six.
Sorry, Frances, I completely missed your post. Yahoo for cross-country skiing!
I think we are all impressed, frances, just overwhelmed by chog
I really must change my icon....brb
SIx is a fun Age, so much is new. I guess I got a bit confused.
She absolutely loved it and insisted on going every day for two weeks.
its great when kids start young
how cool is that, frances!
didn't understand the clue for the first se5,10
kids are fearless with skiing
Its a good habit to get into.
I am so proud of her. She excels at everything she tries.

hi lbd
I've never been on a pair of skis in my life.
se + snake letter and first vowel

oops, gets and n in the middle,

(one too many lemon drops)
red can interpret for me.. she gets me : )

only 1 ru
LOL ruru! and since you're still here, what dogs and when?
that is what I said
I spend much of the day interpreting MD's/
ooo - clever pam
thank you
our two goldens
so annoyed with you
assint

just 1, not 1 too many : )
lol
thanks for the in9, lbd
I am annoying
LOL, kje
Annoyed with MOI? oh no...
I would love a glass of wine, buit don't think that wine and vicodin work...
ding ding ding - by george, i think he's got it
brb phone
no... never annoyed with you red...
only a little wine pam.. it will kick your butt
Pam, they work, just not well together
please pam... don't mix the drugs
well, the mineral is named after a metallurgist
Not as good of an idea as it might seem.
does the computer screen not make it worse, pam?
I don't mix, kje, it's a thing I have not to. When my doc prescribed the vicodin, it was with 3 OTC Aleve, so I really am careful...
OK I must be tired. I am watching a MASH episode (First one where Colonol Flagg arrives, I;ve seen it many many times....) and I am finding it hysterically funny.
No, kje, it doesn't... the sinus ones aren't light-sensitive ones for me....
that is good.. it is good to have you here : )
oh! okay ruru! for some reason thought you were dogless at the moment. Glad to learn I was wrong!
LOLOL, red, I ahve been watching MASH re-runs from time to time and finding them so much funnier than I thought...
no we have a 9 year old and a 15 year old
thanks, kje....
wow, that is getting up there
For some reason...just hysterical.
we will be getting a puppy now in the fall
Klinger has studded winged sunglasses.
mash was funny... and still laugh at seinfeld reruns too
three dog nights heading your way, ru
or maybe at xmas time...
LOL, red
LOL red
Frasier, too, red

i love mash reruns. even have a few box dvd sets
I hope so, too
WEED!!!!!!
yay!
darn, i didn't blend in well enough with pam, i've been spotted!

My fav recipe book is Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World
wow, those cupcakes look so cool, fern!
really liked the pacman ones
of course mine bear no resemblance whatsoever
Alex...did that make sense?
yeah, the pacman ones are my faves too, jmc
yes
They are. I love the Vegan Cupcakes book. Its one of my favs
i like the vegan chef who wrote the cupcake book but i thing that's the only book of her's that i don't own - must remedy that!
can you see how others are doing while still seeing your own game board?
great, alex...consider getting Lickety's list if you're interested in asking for clues...it may be helpful this first time.
no angi...
no you only know how people are doing when they say: 151 left sigh
where do you see other's stats?
simply put, you have 24 hours to finish the grid...it flips every evening at 10pm US central time (about 2.5 hours from now)
and consider paying the one time fee of $14.95 if you like the game and find yourself playing....
angi, this is not a competitive game, but a cooperative one.
you can see their stats on rankings
For instance...I'm done so I'm here to chat and offer clues...
ok
very very cooperative

this is a great game!
ty got two 9s and one 8. more clues for those please!
yw elliott I would never get these words without other's clues
which 8 do you have mkg?
da8 out on the town without an escort
many lacks in this grid! lol
true!
a nomad who's te8 and da8 is a sad wanderer indeed!
lol, nice one, une
pini stillhaving problems with what is meant by the martial arts master ty
ty got those. now have two 8s and two 9s. missing one of each so please clue.
have au and ca 9. have da and te 8s.
the last TA 6,18 please?
matches pini left but a martial arts master is sa6+
Thanks I needed that. What is the 9s please I have an Au and Ca what am I missing please
in9 is in + se7/28
8 to go
go, harp!
sa6= sa*dy beaches + Y plural reversed
wtg, harp!!!
go harp
go, harp, go
dont get y plural reversed.............
if you wear a sa5/14 ta6/18, i'll bet you won't be da8!
when a word ends in y and you make it a plural it is three letters; then write them in reverse

But it depends on the word does it not?
Sure could use a clue for sa5-12 the 2nd. Thanks
I don't think so herin but in any ca4 it is the general rule

Study and idiot oclock start in the AM
hmm we'll see herin
I ahve to do my cheat sheet
When Diana went to the cross country to walk the course as the public is allowed to do- Princess Ann was walking the same way- she was awed
or 'in awe'
sandy, when we lived in Quebec there was an equestrian place nearby and Princess Anne went there regularly -- she sure got around where there were horses!
i better feed the chooks before the flip
broooooook borkkkkk bork
yes Jilli she loves her sport
quick quick, cluck cluck!

i want 16
thats celcius of course
I want 36 --it's about 2 here right now (night-time)
Jilli- you are lucky, I always say-you can get warm but you cant always get cool
i am happy the temp has dropped to reasonable level
yes you had some very hot weather there herin
I can get cool swimming in the sea which I love
yes
i bet you would get very cool swimming there at the moment
hypothermic, sandy!
lol
Hey sandy despite all our revolting warm weather NOT ONCE did I put a bathing suit on and swim or go near a beach
what a pity, herin! Why not?
Because I hate getting sun burnt
I know what you mean herin! sometimes its even too hot for that and as well its a lot of trouble to go to
I sniff in the general direction of sunlight and i fry
Oy vay! Sunscreen. Parasols.
i used to work for a dermatologist
Airconditioned cars.
he always said the safe time in the sun is "never"
I'll trade you your sun for our snow!
We need sun for Vitamin D to work
the beach is lovely here -Perth has gorgeous beaches
back in time for flip! :)
Nope I fry even with sunscreen I BURN inside near a window if im on the train
Of course you've had a really big ozone hole in Oz
