hello, bf
hi bfsog
HI
aloha lady
hi lady
g
g'day, herin
are all Ks 4 letters long? Or only 4 of them?
I may be ducking in and out I got a bit sick of the giving of the list
only have 4, sprite, and they are 4s
kane
oops
the listgivers have gone, lady. Thanks BabbleRabble, same here. The hunt continues :)
got it, also a 4 letter one.
good was giving me the its
thanks, sprite
HOw are you going ?
just started, K greyed, 188 left
goo sprite
the fender bender result is a frequent tagalong
I cannot believe the japanese sword isn't valid
good morning all :)
Hi Jor
hi jorjahgal
phew, this is tough going. hello, hello
thanks Bab
ROSIE ROSE
hi rose
* mental note to oneself, herin doesn't like lists*
g'day herin, sprite, babrab, bfs
me neither, rose... not if it is a lot of lists of all letters in the grid
hello, rose
Granny I don't give a rats behind about the lists its the endless lists of ALL the letters in the grid and the NO im not using the list if you dont like it stiff shit attitude that bugs me
exactly
hi everyone
hi Andree
<sneaks in ever so quietly> GOOD MORNING BABBLE !
hi kris
No Lickety's list has appeared yet today. Closing chat log is an option available to all. And there are 19 hours left of the puzzle. Back later.
hi Kris, nobody can do that as quietly as you
100 left and at a complete standstill
HEEHEE
pffffff
Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
215 left !
lol BabbleRabble
hi haz , don't go before i can say hello
lol babble
understood, herin. just checked my diary for next week. I HAVE FRIDAY OFF!!!!!!is that good or what?
lovely, rose
hi rose
are good or what the only options?
Next week can do
yup, 4 day weekend coming up* grin*
and hi andree
i just made a great pizza for dinner, love working the dough
*grin*
babrab, it means herin and i can do lunch
But that isn't the sodding point. EVERYONE but 2 people were in the chat as everyone else got sick of it. And im just quoting what was said back to me
when I polietly brought up the issue
YAH Lunch
don't let one person rattle your cage, lady.
herin you can close chat, everyone has their own ways, i just lurk
whoot, tgi's ? what time?
Except Rose. I can't eat unhealthy as my behind needs to lose 10 kilos before may
it is a weird notion, that one should have to close the chat just to not be bothered by one or two endless listers.
wish i could come to melb and join you both
and bring mrp with me
hey, we'll walk it off with retail therapy!
but it is becoming more clear all the time that when the High And Mighty has spoken and run off, the subject is closed to all who might possibly oppose.
oh, andree, wouldn't that be great! * sigh * one day.....
it would be such fun rose
I needs a pretty dress for a stupid wedding.
Snicker sprite
I am to tired to care
hmmmm, thinking, maybe herin and i could come up one weekend.......
who is the High and Mighty??!
I don't snicker, hun, I laugh freely. And think of the seed of good sense in my profile text.
ROADDDDDDDDD TRIP
that would be great rose
Then I could go to house of fetish and get my corest
sounds like fun to me
okay, lets everyone take a deep breath or several
I need to find the dress i want to wear. I had a dream about it. Thick velvet matterial
nooooo, was thinking more like flapping our wings, and if that doesn't work, we'll hop on aplane.
I'd love being able to fly. By myself, not by plane.
i have a broomstick rose!!!
i hope you mean corset, herin, can't picture you in a corest
am breathing, BabbleRabble, all is well
mmmmm I don't need to a broomstick. I am powered by bitchwitch LD
who is the High and Mighty??! *am utterly intrigued*
hey, did my mother leave hers behind again
**coughs haz**
deep breath sounds good babble
buahhhaha Granny maybe she left it with my mil
what is a corest?
what on earth did Haz do??!
(corset)
Thank you
haz is hardly ever on and when is is a great cluer
lol, herin, i wonder if they have met?
just scroll back if you want to know, Ata
I did. I can't see anything to deserve such a thing
and hi to you
So lunch next fridays Rose?
oh yes, herin, what time?
um
idono
no me either ata
1pm sound ok?
so we differ in opinion. I can certainly live with that.
but Haz isn't allowed to differ in opinion?
Yes
we are all different with differing opinions, would be awful if we all had the same thoughts
dinner ready, bbl. herin, if you are gone when i get back, will ring you next week
Oh hang on next friday
as much as I am
ROSE I THINK I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT
wow lady, easy :)
i feel i have missed something here, but don't enlighten me
Wrong friday Yes rose
nnnnnnoooooo! what about next friday? and darn, what time your appointment?
I'm confused. All she said was that there's more than 1 way of playing babble, and each way is equally valid. And if the way babble is being played at thet time doesn't suit you, well come back later or hide the chat. Wasn't it? Did I miss something?
whew, can go and eat, cya
bye rose, have a nice dinner
Please, let's not attack one another. Everyone plays differently. Let us all respect that - and each other. Remember "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" would be a good motto here
there have been some things simmering in here for a long time .. no one will win by getting in people's faces
i am confused too, haz was lovely to me when i started and so helpful with clues
agree lynxxx, and its a great motto
and hi lynxxx
or by dropping a line about how people SHOULD behave and then running off. That is my opinion.
Well isn't it a bit bloody rude that just 2 people get to have the whole chat for ages.
Ata, Ata...tell me is Afterlife big over there? great show! I get to see it now after Dr W & Torchwood
right im going to shut up now
oh dear
better than not saying anything
I agree, lady, but I have wasted already too much energy on this, as on the whole high and mighty thing. I'll shut up and will hide the chat, in spite of the many lovely persons here who I love to chat with.
yes, I agree, herin, it's entirely rude that 2 people hogged the chat. But to be blunt shit happens
Afterlife? Never heard of it!!!
as i said SPRITE COME BACK
sprite don't go we love you
Seen After life it wasn't on long
I want to see DOllhouse
mmm made in 2005 Ata. Really nice acting by Lesley Sharp
*looks it up*
how totally disingenuous
interesting. will have to find that
Ohhh - Dollhouse looks interesting. Must ask my daughter if she has heard about it. Big Josh W fan
does she like Dr Horrible? Josh W's last effort. It's soooo brilliantly funny
hello again
hi west
hi ata
Ata thank you for reminding me to get it off the lap top
she hasn't talked about that to me, I'll check that with her too
hi West
hi lyn
if she has a copy, do watch it. it's very odd to start with but very very very funny and clever
hi west
will do
hi andree
hi anyone i missed
hi herin
hi
lol love your profile, west!
Ata I love the sandy nosed puppy
hi all :) Herin, sorry just missed you on FB
Lynxx when s Afterlife on?
Thats ok Liz
Tuesday nite - UKTV on Foxtel
lizzz!
ok no foxtel here
hi Sandy & Liz
hey my favourite ever word is in the grid :)) ne4 Goose
I was just writing to you on fb :)
Ata I've been a plonker....
LOL
I sent you that package I told you about - and this mornning found the brochure on my desk (duh) - I'll send it separately. *Blush*
*sporfles* :D
hi sandy and liz
Sqooshy floofy sporfles indeed
hi Lynxxx and Andree
I'm trying to find Geradl Durrell's description of a Bedlington. it's so funny
hah - te6.21 the madagascan an8.40 is here
Ahhh Gerald Durrell - I' a big fan
some-one has a Bedlington?
I can't find it, I'd have to re-read the books to find it. Bear in mind I read these books about 15 years ago - but Geralds aunt (who like spiritualism) had a pack of Bedlingtons and they would surround her, shivering and crying and looking pathetic
He had a wonderful way of writing. We go to the "zoo" whenever we are in Jersey
we met a Bedlington on the beach this morning :)
very cute looking
of all his books, I remember the bedlington description above all!!
89 left, at a complete standstill, back later
Bye Andree
they *tremble*
non ne
hi Phand!
I'd love to go to the Durrell zoo. One day!
Its lovely. Not very big but they do such amazing projects
where is durrel zoo at?
good morning
hey, Lynxxx, I have an application in to adopt a greyhound!
Sandy its in Jersey in the Channel Islands GB
it's a true zoo in the meaning that it's keeping animal populations viable and well. and researching animals.
is it special in some way at?
Its called a wildlife conservation trust really, but we all call it the zoo
they've been saving species from eextinction for 50 years
yes, that's better. very conservation based. which is wonderful
oooh Phand...have you chosen one yet? where are you getting it from?
oops brb
http://www.durrellwildlife.org/
I applied to Blueridge Greyhounds
I haven't picked one yet.
They kind of pick them for you. My home visit is sometime next week
Torch & Kiss look nice. Wow they check you out at home too - that's great
I believe greyhounds can make great pets. In australia you can adopt them too, but the law requires that they are muzzled in public
They don't have to be muzzled in public here, but I think they recommend it at first inside the home if you have other animals
Really Sandy? They dont have to be muzzled here. There is a rescue centre for greyhounds in Jersey that rehomes dogs from the UK . One lives here on Sark. No muzzle - very placid
which we do, we have 2 cats
I have wanted a grey for years, but didn't think my husband would agree. But he talked to someone about them and agreed!
they are placid and have great natures- but as 'sight hounds' they can go after little dogs-or so they say
In Victoria and a few other states you don't have to - as long as they have come through the GAPs program Sandy
I love them :)
GAP?
I am hoping they prove to be a good match for our family. I believe they do.
right I really have to go and sort the house out. I took the morning off work to blitz the place and look at me sitting here....
Greyhound Adoption Program - one in each State. They 'test' each dog
aah that sounds sensible
have fun :) bye everyone :) Say bye to Ata for me when she gets back
they do have lovely natures
have a productive day
Have a look at the sites Sandy, esp the Victorian one, you'll fall in love I guarantee
foxhounds are illegal to keep as pets
bye Liz
I used to hunt lol that is why i mentioned that
oh poo I missed Liz
we fell in love with all of thehounds
foxhounds aren't illegal to keep as pets here
I don't think they are illegal here either
they certainly aren't ideal pets though
they are not suitable as domestic pets as they definitely hunt to kill -they would kill our chooks and our cat
G'd morning Babblers! Bigger grid today, yea!
chook?
chooks! they lay eggs!
so it's a kind of bird
hi lori
hi Lori
yes phan, its an aussie chicken
I see.
we have called them chooks since for ever!
No list? Shirley must be the end times.
in fact i have to put ours away soon . we let them wander about during the day, but at night the fox would get them. lucky that lately our border collie has decided she hates foxes
doom! doom and gloom!
At , todays grid is quite nice
good morning :-)
I always get confused when a word hits the Babble list, but the entry screen stays red. lolol
G'd morning mama.
i have 124 left and still need 5 of the 6 8s
hi mama
gm sandy and maddie
its a good challenge, i always feel great when i can get an 8
lori's easily confused
You can do it sandy!
I need all 6 8's an d 168 left
The only 8 I have is the An ,
I keep going away for a minute and it turns into an hour
hi west, hope you are having a good day
me too kris
the cats are fed the coffee is made and I just took an oatmeal cake out of the oven so far so good
we are having a lovely day here, its overcast and cool, like a day sent from heaven
Exactly sandy! And clues and letter comparisons listed in chat can always help ya' finish.
how're you sandy?
And there is 1 i hiding from me too DAMNGIT
I thought you said you fed the coffee to the cats there for a moment
DANGIT**
we had one of those days yesterday, Sandy, today it is cold again and will be for a few days
she is trying to make the cats more playful
same kind of day here but not so heaven sent lol we're jonesing for sun
its been too hot for too long here phan, but april is coming
lol I did too Ata. Caffeine kitties.
that would not be good ata lol
I am a bigger fan of heat than of cold
fuss budgets wouldn't drink it anyway
caffeine stoned cats is a scary thought
Ata - Jess loved Dr Horrible, and says Dollhouse gets better after about 6 episodes becoming 'pure Josh W'.
not that I like intense heat and we are in a quite humid area, which make the heat even worse
oh great! I hope we get to see it soon
if you lived here it would be the opposite phan , we have had very very few days under 33 since december, its too much
I'm sure I'll be complaining about the heat and humidity sooner than I'd like
i adore our winters , they are very mild and enjoyable
builder called today he's framed up the new porch in Maine 12' x 20' it's going to be so nice
Hobbit's got her booster / check-up today. Wondering whether to mention that her breathing is very "nasal". And she snores. A lot.
I would mention it, why not?
I love your profile west. :)
Yes, may as well get your money's worth
I hate feeling like one of those dog owners who mentions every tiny scratch and problem!
You should, I would think.
Peace of mind, and all that.
I would, especially if it is a change
but if I had nasal passages as long as hers, I think I'd get snotty too
I am sure vets appreciate pet owners who care
hopefully it will be the pretty Irish boy vet. I forgot to ask. BUgger I shoudl phone and ask
I like hearing about dog health problems, lol
you should At , you rascal
I just love those irish accents
lol not really for that but there's a vet there that Hobbit just *loathes*
Any kn words?
(but he is quite gorgeous!)
nope
Thanks muchly Lynx
At the risk of being a pest , are all the i's 4's ?
our little Jackrussell, Sydney, love the vet , I just let her out of the car and she runs to the front door and scratches until she can get inside to look at the toys
ha! it IS with the pretty irish vet!
Doh, missed an obvious word. Thanks again Lynx
there's a horrid german vet at the practice and hobbit absolutely hates her. she growls and barks and refuses to be nice
Did you ask like that? "Is my appt. with the pretty Irish vet?"
Kristine, I hope so. :) But I dunno'....
for once, I was diplomatic
id 6
id6
EW lol, ok ty
Dogs are so funny. Our border hates the vets and I have to drag her in.
it follows from a 4 though
Thanks BR, ATa Hari ***looking***
hmm ok ty
Doh !
I have no idea what Sabine ever did to Hobbit, but whatever it was, Hobbit did not appreciate it
well, I have a math final today, so I guess I should try to study some...
Ok who here has heard of a cat liking salt and vinegar chips
I want a handsome irish vet At!!
my cats always have!
good luck phan
Got it ty
bye Phand
and he's called Jasper, just to add to the niceness!
I will test our cat on that Herin
Thank you. I can actually get a C on the final and still get an A in the class, but I don't want a C on the final, I want an A!
At what a nice name!!
study and you will get it Phan
I have never seen a chat do it before. He was more interested in the glad wrap
my cats loved all crisps except cheese and onion
phan when i did literature as an adult , i was never satisfied with less
mmm
Good luck, and later phand!
I'm stuck at 137 words UGH
Hey! There's re's in this grid. Gah
Go Kristine, you can do it!
UGH I doubt it lolk
Sure ya' can, and if you get stuck, compare lists with someone, or coax BR out of lurking.....
***I think I can, I think I can, I think I can*** :p

How far back have you gone Lore?
Loredana - my sister in UK is doing ours, so far back to 1800s from Italy o Dad's family, and a link to Lady Godiva on Mum's side ...
my cousin did it... but I would like to know where my relatives on my grandpa on my mother's side came from italy... he was the youngest of 16 probably have lots of relatives there but no one made one cause he ran away at 14 from a monestary, went to england and the came here... the worker that he was he most likely worked his way here and never 'stow-awayed'
hi Chris
My Mum would be horrified at the tought of one of hers riding nekkid

hi everyone!!!!
good grief Lore. What fun finding out
hi MM
ca 8/50 re8/45 thats all i have so far movieman
Just before he died last year, I asked my Dad why he hadn't traced the family, and he said with eleven kids living, and all having families, noone felt the need to find any more members - no room at the table, I guess.
clues lore?
the website also sends you matches to your details and I have been able to get back to the 1700s that way
2 an - both creatures
I will trade clues for the 8s you have, MM
genesunited - may try that.
i don't have any 8s br
sorry movieman re5/12+picnic pest and meower having a siesta
hi BR
how can you trade then?
lynxxx..i have one an8 creature...the serpantile one

I read a thingie that said we just skim over the written word, as long as the first and last letters are sort-of in the right place (?), we can 'read' the word, no matter how scrambled the letters in between --- just as well, considering my typing.
True enough Chris, just went back to your previous post and I had read it OK not even recognising that various had been spelled incorrectly. Just as well for me too, I never check spells before I send
Apart from the obvious (vasriou), my spelling's okay, except that after 48 years here, I still sometimes think in English /English as opposed to American/English.
don't we all!
shoot, forgot I plugged-in the kettle, about 20 minutes ago ....
Explain the difference, please. two players are present at the flip. One asks for a clue and is told it is too early. To gives clues so early spoils the fun for players who want to find words on their own.
Five hours later, two players start on the grid. One asks for clues for all the large words and gets clues. The other wonders why the clues since it spoils the fun for him/her.
Back! G'd mornign again Babblers.
hi BR.. I turn off chat when I want to scan the grid without clues.. I guess that is an option for everyone.. so, the "one hour" after the flip no-no for clues is just for chatters, must be..??
BR each to their own i guess
welcome back LoriP
It's all too silly isn't it...esp as we are all in diff parts of the world. I say look at the chat if you want a bit of help, don''t look at the chat if you want to challenge yourself
sounds good to me lynxxx depends on how much time we have as well and of course can always turn off chat
Tell ya' what. All this crap simmering just below the surface, is ridiculous
Well, the option of turning off the chat is available at the flip too
yay let it all float to the top hey LoriP
Singling out anyone, for offering the practical alernative of CLOSING CHAT is idiotic.
well, Lore, sprite is gone because of it
hello everyone! I have not been able to play for 2 days..have a missed a brouhaha?
If it bothers you that much, self moderate, and close the friggin' chat. That's what I do, and so do a lot of others
hi Annie!
*I
G'd mornign Annie of Brooklyn!
Hi there, Lori of NS and Aloy!
thanks for advising me BR will email her
Myself? I love seeing the give and take of working as a group, solving grids.
you have your opinion, lori, but it is just one persons
hey annie great to see you
loredana, great to see you too
you missed the point too
mornin babblers!
I don't think that is the only reason BR, just the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak. I would still strongly suggest that some people should stop mouthing off
Hello AnnieB & EvaN!
BR just read your profile and I wish you well hugs
hi there Eva
Hi Lynxxxie
and EvaN
G'd morning Ehva.
howdy folks
Chat ebbs and wanes here, and it's a beautiful thing. Sometimes laughs, sometimes sadness, you name it. Sometimes it's like a friggin' Dear Diary, with things best left off a public forum. It is what it is.
Hi Takuma
hi Takuma, long time no see
G'd morning Takuma
Hi Takuma
heh, it's been awhile since I've been on at this hour
I asked what the difference was in cluing policy .. you have the kitchen sink going ... too funny
todays icon theme is making me hungry. :)
Howdilly doodilly, neighbors!
hi Judi
hi, j!
hi Judi
hiya Judi
Who ya' talkin' to BR? G'd mornin' Judi
judi, just for your own personal knowledge, you should be LOST_talk-free this week, as there wasnt a new episode last night. ;)
You are the one that went off
hi judy
I didn't know that there was a cluing policy, aside from just giving answers away, but whatever it is BR: yours are great from what I've seen
Thank heaven for small favors, Eva.
damn I don't have all the info to my relatives... I need to call mom and now it is too early
Trust me, that's not going off, you'd know it if you saw it.
have no reason to trust you
clues for the middle a and the bottom e plz
This started with a snit from sprite about being advised to close chat, correct? If not, I'll turn red, and apologise for not grasping the gist of things.
not at all

oh I will it will be a bunch of questions for my mother and names and how to spell things... etc etc etc
If it seemed like going off BR, so be it.

yw, (-:
i'm not going to even get nbt today...
hi annie!!! I am drinking my peets and loving it this morning... have you noticed that some days things just taste unusually fantastic?
if only he lived closer than antarctica :)
oops - my humor-meter's a little off this morning
Peets?
I am not having a rough day at all .. just asked a rather innocuous question
Too wierd, lost Babble and Los Angeles Public Library screen came up .... Twilight Zone?
kje, Yes, today is one of those days, Peets and a pumperknickel bagel, good company, babble...
peets coffee... www.peets.com
it's those cursed LA Public Library hackers again
Ah. Okay. Oh no! Not hackers again.
judi, great coffee, kje got me hooked on Peets
gosh...930 and 3 are so far away from each other
So odd, cursor was still in the center of the screen, nowhere near the favorites list.
Don't think I've ever had it, Annie. Where is Peets from?
so so so far
arabian mocha java blend
there is a nest for the eagle.. yay
what's 930 and 3 ??
judi, I ordered the coffee on line
Time to get writing. Good luck and have fun, all
now and end of work day
ty aloy
I ordered the house blend to start off...kje just gave the site

G'd morning harp
Hiya, Harpjane!
kje, You are in my "trust book"
Good luck, TS
Any snow remaining, Annie?
tragic, why so unhappy at work...perhaps, a diffeent job?
I still have 110 left and can't believe it has gotten this slow this fast
BR, The snow is gone
i have to wait out the school year, i don't want to let down my students
and thank you BR. i'm slow in standing up
hi tragic
could someon clue the lone A?
hi oodle
any further clues for an8 (a snaky thing) and the ca8
tragic, then forge ahead and put on a happy face
ca8 - add one who does to the ca6 - taking a brief sleep, maybe feline style
Hope your day is wonderful, ts
a ---fred astaire was a *** dancer
an8 is a HUGE snake
have a peaceful day, TS
i mean...i'm forging...i'm not good at the happy face :) you can see right through me even when i'm trying on that one... but i have ya'll to help me through
thank you BR
and Annie
Oh pooh, Anniebrook, I thought that was clues for the 8s
the snake ends with a word similar to the long-line wedding dance where everyone follows the leader around the room
:)
**poof**
Have a good one tragic
... and the dance is in the grid too
Rats, I already have that on my list, thanks you
ok bbl
Dance ?
question for all the crafters/sewers in the chog today... for those of us who have zero (and i mean ZERO) sewing abilities, would you recommend the no-sew glues or the iron-on fusible webbing stuff for hemming tops/skirts/trousers, etc? any other ideas?
and the past tense of the dance too
ooh, ty lynxxx.. overlooked that pt !
I recommend buying new trousers, Eva. That's how bad of a seamstress I am.
mentate is a word
yw Aloy - as had I!
Then again, there's always staples and duct tape.
ah - ty for the pt
the iron on stuff works very well but you can't dry clean it.
judi -- i actually have a pair of work trousers with a staple in the hem....heh
kje, did you see go5, med term for sex organ?
..sex gland, shoulda said.. did that stop chat? lol
Buttons. I sew buttons. Anything beyond that goes to the seamstress at the dry cleaners.
no aloy, I have the go5
Where guys don't wanna' be kicked.
LOL, Aloy. We all rushed to find the sex organ. We're no fools.
better clue, Lori !
I can't find that ... I've led a very sheltered life
lol, Judi..
I'm missing a g, unfortunately, that wasn't it.
...and may I add, successfully ignoring the c. :/
2 ga4.7 Lori
yep, I have ga x 5, go x 3

Kind of a reptile-ish ending IMO
lolol great clue Lynx
tyvm, monkeys would not have found that !
Are the a's as hard as I seem to be finding them?
thanks, lynxxxie
The infamous oc5/12 from California will use a lot of oc6/12 when they learn to drive.
You have seen them all before Lori
Time for a break. Have to go balance the checkbook. Like I need to be reminded of how broke we are. Ish.
bye Judi
Eww. Good luck with that Judi. Laters. Thanks Lynx, maybe a fresh coffee will help.

Take care Aloy

Afteroon All, whats the grid like today? I can only take so much of working on spreadsheets!
FM!!!
good morning
FM!!!! ***surprisingly gentle hug***
hi FM
I need the A in the center for NBT...is it an AA or AE word?
It's really good except for the c that doesn't exist + 34 other words.
I'm in and out. I'm babysitting my nephew's family this week and the middle child is home sick with the stomach flu.
Hi Ataroooooo! Awe Squidgy hug Lori Hi ya kje :)
no
neither
I've just read back. Now being careful to not hog chat, despite my enthusiasm for my babble friends. Wouldn't want to do what nearly every other 'infamous' babbler loves to do... [/snipe]
TY ATA
{{FM}} spreadsheets no! babble yes!
Uni!!! and Annie too *big grin*
'C' that doesn't exist? What's that?
yes, don't you dare hog chat, Uni!!
spreadsheets? Making the bed already? I only do that when I do laundry. :p
HAve I used up my quota of posts yet?? **looks around nervously**
not yet, FM
Hi and good Babble Day
I'm sure I have
LOL spreadsheets a new mathematical form of ironing?
no such thing as hogging chat... or inappropriate clues... or whatever... just want everyone to play nice : )
KJ can you give me a hint as to the type of ac fabric
**Loans excess post quota to FM**. All my days when I can't load babble should give me some saved up postage.
Is there a quota on chatting now? What have I missed?
it's cheesy silk bich
a sythetic ac7
add most of the boston **a party to the ac5
curtsies to Uni whist considering wether to dive in now or later.

I don't have the ac 5
Honestly, the a's killing me more than re's. Gah

it's a nice grid, FM
ac5 - high card + brit ty
i am serious, they promise stuff by firday and the voicmeails are time stamped 7PM..8PM....
ty kje, finally sunk in
Thats a real pain TO, can you prep to a certain point then crunch the numbers?
yw bichon
I wish I could do this grid (since it actually loaded) instead of a paper, school and work. The inhumanity of it all.
mithc, non one has a clue but they dismiss what i do as too complicated
don't make it a science project they say. so i say what do you have in mind? and they say i have nothing in mind.
I should be reading about impact assessment. but I'm not
((TO)) I understand, wish I could help you (I love excel) OK Im diving in so stand back all!
good morning Babblers :)
I should be driving the kid to jazz band practice but he is getting the car warmed up and the ice scraped off the windows. hi all

ty for that pe tor
I keep forgetting 'oner' isn't in enable-- it's *always* in crosswords...
that site is amazng
good one, tor
Type of digester. ***pondering***
I love drunken noodles too eva... actually, most asian noodle dishes are pretty darn good
im trying to talk some coworkers into going to union station for lunch today so i can get some drunken noodles. :)
snake! ooo!
oh FM, you must do the grid. your fav animal is in it
mmm - excellent idea eva... walking distance?
Nono, can you expand on the digester, in a blond kind of way?
one metro stop. it would be walking distance if it were a bit warmer...
OMG EvaN, that is facinatingly awful and I now feel incredibly hungry :)
ohhhhhhh trying lori
one stop? you're on the hill, eva?
ummmm one who ingests picnic pests?
go eva go! I will eat vicariously through you
My sick little nephew is here helping me. We found two animals at the beginning and end of the 'an' list of words. Both an 8 animals ... now what are the chances of that happening? He is so impressed and ready to babble on his own.
OK you've convinced me *perfoms perfect double saumersalt and pikes into the grid*
Gah! Nono, that's it.
find your fave animal!
takuma -- im at judiciary square
ohhhhh that was at least an 8 FM!!
that's great merk take his mind off being sick
That's cool Merk. ***Nono, can't believe the DENSA factor for me on that*** Thanks again.
Neither of the an 8 would be my favorite, but for a 10 year old boy, yes, one could be his creepy favorite.
you are close to china town then too eva... and there are good noodles there
aha!
no problem Lori
Bit of a splash on the entry if you ask me Nono.
good morning
I worked next to the FBI bldg for awhile
hi josh
hi josh
Don't tempt me Lori ;)
way too many C's think i'll skip over all but the most obvious ones
No cannonballs in the pool if you please.
ac
kje -- the ones at east street cafe are the BESTEST
where is east street cafe?
City Lights rules the roost, imo ;)
besides east street i mean
that sounded like the beginning of a bad joke
in union station, all the way upstairs
ah - OK
ive actually never been to city lights
I am embarrassed that I cannot figure out my last word na 4/4.
ca7?
first ca7?
Guten Morgen Babblers, This should have come first. Excuse my rudeness
inge, double up on a certain vowel
na 4/4 a flatbread?
na4/4....grandmother?
inge -- the indian bread?
it's very very good - my firm would pretty much always get City Lights delivered when we had to work late
despite having worked here for almost 8.5 years, i really havent ventured too far from my building...heh
that's easy to do
oh eva!!! that is not good! DC has wonderful spots to eat or see art or hear music, etc... get out girl!
i know -- now that i live in a more metro-friendly place, we are trying to hit the city more on our free time :)
go ice skate at lunch on the mall
ive worked in DC so long, i feel like im always here...heh
or take a lunch break and have a soup and sandwich at the cafe in the National Gallery
anywho, its meeting time for me -- gotta run, back soon!
you are close to the American Museum of art also, and they have a good cafe... go eat and see one gallery at a time
ciao eva
I apologize. My computer froze up, but now I am back to thank you for that clue which gave me fireworks.
bye eva - hagd
cognacs inge!
woohoo inge!!!
Congratulatins inge
woohooo WTG Inge!!
yay inge!
wow - surprised to see the da 4/7 accepted. that's kind of cool
an
When I was an intern in the Pentagon for six weeks, I planned every weekend for excursions.
3 ag's cover it?
and inge goes to the PB!
shoot, I forgot
ty inge
Hope the pb is well stocked. Anyone else there to talk to?
lol - I never would have seen it if you hadn't called inge on it
:-D
what are the odds of accidentally saying *that* word in chat?
nm, missing an a from the top now. ***sigh***
Well, if you ask me about DC I will always come up with that location
that's like someone accidentally using 'etui' in chat when it's in the grid
Just one sleep disorder word?
I often use etui in conversation so can see how that could easily occur ; )
yes lori
think so . . .
lol
ak5 lori?
Inge! Penalty box for the pe8!
how about the goose, kje? work that into many exchanges? :-)
ce7?
Ata Hari! That's it! Whatever it is.... :p
we had it about a week ago ...
Got it. Muchos grassyass Ata. A's mercifully done
heh, une - there was a player from hawaii for awhile, so she might have been inclined to use the ne
ce7 penny + 3/4 of emperor who fiddled while Rome burned
n. A small, dry, indehiscent one-seeded fruit with a thin wall, as in the sunflower.
now you know
Sorry kje, no c in my grid. :D
ty une - good clue
LOL lori - let us know how that works out for you - LOL
yw :-)
How can there be 230 words when thre is no S?
Is a sunflower a fruit?
how many ca7?
I was asking that myself
Since there's no c, it's only a 195 word grid.
that has been my question too
ive just got to half weay mitch and im wondering the same thing
8 ca
no, it isn't, but botany has odd uses for words
Hi rolin :)
there are 8 ca7?
funny: we use r+en 5/10 (the biological one) at work all the time
i've got 13
oohhh, ca7 . . . sorry
got your favourite word yet, FM?
it's one of my charlie brown words: even though I know it's not going to be accepted, I have to try it
Hey, Josh - is that a self-portrait in your icon?
oops - sorry - don't know what I was thinking... there are 21 ca
LOLOL judi
my god! i feel like i have been monkeying Cs forever!!! and still missing 4... I am joining lori on the dark side
Takuma, what would the biological en be?
I think FMs ignoring me. Am I hogging the chat log?
Now that you mention it, you have been posting a lot.
I don't remember exactly what it means, but it has to do with mothers
***makes room for kje in the c-less room***
*steals some of Uni's allowance*
okay, I have that, but you ust put a r before it?
judi - no, that was picasso. and thanks for reminding me, i changed my icon for the first time in awhile
oh, I guess it's really genealogical, bich
Im busy doing a happy dance with the te6/21 in Madagascar
oh - the r- word *isn't* in the dictionary.
sheesh Ill never figure out all the c's lol
sorry if I sent you on a goose chase
good :) I knew that would make you happy!
yes, I know
yes, I know
that's okay Takuma, wouldn't be the first or last time
oh okay - yeah, with an 'R' in front, it refers to creatures with kidneys
renalodon?
renalrich
as it turns out, the set of those creatures is exactly coextensive with chor-da 4/5 s
te 6/21 the compund word FM?
de6?
hey ruru
lol, ru and une
the de6 i have is a church elder
hi une.. I pooped out not long after you last night
hi ru
tx josh
ty josh - another fish for me... lots of sushi this week

Mmmm ..sushi ..
No Lori te6/21 the punky hedghog
**pulls out wasabi for kje ***
Thanks josh, didn't have that one.
gotta to ta** pups out to pee . . . BBL
so we are using titles now??? does that mean I must call you vintner ru?
do the de 6 like little boys or is that just restricted to bishops and priests?
my father has been a de6 since i was a boy, i don't think he's into little boys
pondering that FM
*sneaking bit of sushi*
Back to work for me. Thanks for the help. good luck all!
nm, got it. Thanks FM!
take all you like stid - no need to sneak... I have an abundance today

Gah. All this time to finish the e. en 7, diplomacy type word. Stoopid e's.
LOL Lori!
hello phaeton!
G'd afternoon anyone who arrived. :D

ty lori - needed that last e for me
ok so it doesnt take much to make me happy!

Yea kje!

Missing a crapload of r's, prob'ally re's. Yuk

Uhg. Finally finished the C's.
hello judi!

congrats judi lol
Yea Josh! Later kje. Judi, what c?
I finished all of the c's. Evil things.
wanna finish mine? lol
If there was a c in my grid, I'd congratulate you on a job well done. :D
Lori, I hate the re's too
Hi, Stid!
re's are pure evil....
hello hlj... intriguing icon!
:)
hello stid
For anyone who is thinking of seeing "The Watchmen"... don't. It's one of the worst movies I've seen in ages. Horrrrible.
thanks for the warning, judi (not that we see movies...) seems so many of the bit budget films aren't that great.
so I need help on the E in the fourth column please, middle row.
any or all...
really? everyone else has said it's amazing!
Very graphic violence, nudity. 10 years ago it would have gotten an X rating. I'm no prude, but this stuff didn't help the movie at all.
grey top left corner!
that's watchmen for you lol
Definitely not for kids under 17. Total crap.
Judi, I had a similar reaction to a book that was required reading this quarter! It had some lovely writing, but the graphic nature of the sex and violence was quite disturbing.
er 5, rigid? heh
I like my superheroes super and heroic.
I think people are confusing "liberated thinking" with smut.
certainly the (much younger) other students in my class hadn't noticed how offensive it was, but I suspect they watch things like "girls gone wild"
I have nothing against smut, in the proper context. ;)
oh gee, speaking of smut, eh lori! thanks!
but watchmen aren't meant to be heroic and sparkly ...
: D
Having never read the fanzines or comics, I guess I wasn't properly prepared for the movie.
um ... they certainly aren't happy and sparkly
ooooh. I found the pa 7
pan ga
oh and NBT...
yes Nanette?
could you clue that stid?
Share clue for pa7, please.
pa 7: complete cure for everything
ooh i return and we're talking graphic sex and violence?
greek derivation
thanks stid
change the g to tic *** toe for a 6 Nono :)
Yes, TO! Great timing.
you mean like the oscars TO?
Ty, Stid.
hello TO!
and i am eating salty snakcs and chocolate. not stressed at all. :)
Smut smut smut smut smut smut smut...
LOL Judi!
no that was the grammys
Speaking of horrible movies, I watched another one over the weekend. "Love Affair" starring Warren Beaty and Annette Benning. It was a re-make of "An Affair to Remember". Sucked. Out. Loud.
YES. halfway!!! I must away, to work on this website. Back at lunchtime.
*poof*
later stid.
Gah, missing 1 p. This'll only take a couple days
TO, what is the critter in your icon?
lori, you can do it!
didnt get the clue for pa 7 at all. complete cure???? anything else you can clue for me?
a lemur?
judi, it's an ay ay
Oh. Cool. It looked familiar.
I think they are related to lemurs, aren't they?
you actually KNOW someone who looks like this?!
does the lone e word build off the 5 ?
looks like a lemur
besides me i mean :)
clue for e on bottom line?
Hah! p is done. Now to finish the t, the dreaded re's, nd c if there was a c that is.
Heavens, no! I remember seeing an ay ay. I think Jack Hanna was showing one off on the Animal Planet.
ac 7 anyone?
My sympathies to any person who looks like an ay ay.
hello all
synthetic material often paired with rayon
ac 7 sounds like a chemical
Owl, I had Bassets ice cream yesterday, mmm
Ac7: chemical - synthetic filament.
well judi i got him in a list of oddest looking creatures, but he is so cute i have not trotted out the others
I see your ay ay and raise you a naked mole rat.
yay mole rats!
that's good, peri. i am off them since i got the bad cone last year
And, I further raise you a pink armadillo.
judi, have you seen the movie "fast, cheap, and out of control"
what bad cone? Owl
PB ..
No, Josh. But I could live it.
oh there are much weirder critters than even naked mole rats. peri, got a melty cone so bad it pulled like taffy
oops, marches off to the PB, hope there is chocolate in there
it's a great documentary that happens to have naked mole rats in it
aww, too bac, Owl, I had dark chocolate with raspberry truffle, it was delish
i only like banana.
*bad*
My money's on the saiga.
Fascinating, Josh. I shall file that away for future reference.
thanks got the ac.. man am I slow..
I only have one of the 8's, an8/40, any clues out there for the other 8's
Pee break. BRB.
I think there are 2 an8.
bbl time to fix lunch
there is also a ca8 but I do not see it
ca8 - Cruella DeVil when she sets her sights on Siamese
AN8/50 - huge snake
got the snake, thanks Eva
pe8 - 5-sided shape
back with another looker. refresh.
I know who Cruella Deville is but can't get the end of the ca8 :(
CA8 builds off of a CA6/24, a quick sleep
Dumb spelling. One who sleeps for short periods, if you prefer.
got the pe8,, thanks Vi
got the ca8, thanks Eva and Vi
Reminiscent of a vogon, TO.
it's a wolfish
Is it a wolfish wolffish?
yes. that's another reason i love it.
what is a vogon? and have i reached my quota of inane chat yet?
I have returned.
i believe its a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference...
clue for the last en7 please?
oh i hope there isnt a quota on inane chat or ihave to just be quiet
There are lots of odd looking creatures out there (present company excluded of course). Mother Nature likes to yank our chains.
jane, we're going to let you beg for it
thanks
no quotas on chat or inaneness - can you imagine how dead the chog would get??? : )
hell . my replacement, who stis in an office not 10 feet from my desk, is gong on and on on the phone a bout his ex wife and how the kids hate him beacude of her. i think it's walk time.
Inane my arse. Usually, we're all quite brilliant.
Indeed it is a Hitchhiker's Guide reference, EvaN. Two points for you.
and how his daughter has not prepared for the upcoming soccer season
I like your attitude, Judi.
Or did you mean "insane"?

oh i must go i cannot abide any more of this conversation. doesn't anyone keep anything to themselves anymore? he has disturbed my harmony.
ca 7/36?
pa7/36 - cure-all
TO - you should record it and play it back when he's not on the phone.
Poor TO. Bye!
kje, pa6 is what speech pathologists use to diagnose apraxia.. pa + change the vowel at the end of "**** Bell's" fast food restaurant
pa6/24 - currency in macao
i mean his teenage girl is negative and impulsive. and that's his ex wife's fault.

Hi for a few minutes! Trying to juggle a few minutes' Babbling in with two active four year olds...
HI, Monkey!
You shouldn't juggle computers or four-year-olds. It is bound to end badly.
lol vi
I suppose you're right. (Resentfully shuffles feet but sees wisdom).
Greeting Vi, how are you and your brilliant offspring?
Sets a bad example, too. I know you don't want the four-year-olds juggling the computer.
just found a pa7 cooking implement+top card+vowel
Hi MG
Greetings, all!
The brilliant offspring are brilliant, thanks! =D
maybe the 4-yr-olds could sub for monkeys on the keyboard?
Hey mm, whats the latest from the film world?
That's true. What was I thinking?
Had their recital last weekend and we all survived - even enjoyed the experience. Phew!
Saw Watchmen last Sunday Fmitch
Anyone see my pa7 clue?
Mine just keeps spelling his namd, given the chance, and the guest cannot be relied upon not to stand on the laptop...
Oh what did you think, saw Jonathon Ross reviewing on earlier this week.
Good point, rbud. But you know that statistically speaking it takes a million of them.
I'll leave them to the V-Tech kid-resistant case for now.
I saw it, MM! Thanks!
Judi hated Watchmen
20
i thought it was bloody good mitch, can't wait for the dvd
I think she was expecting t to be happy and shiny superheroes
Hey, Ata, shouldn't it take neriad? In addition to mythical folk, isn't it a class of sea slugs or something??
It's a very dark/gothic comic mag crossover to the big screen, looked ood but not something I owuld go see though
you're spelling it wrong!
got all those damn c's now
Ahhh!!! Is the correct spelling in the grid?
Diff combo of vowels, I think, MG.
I can't wait to see it
i didn't like watchmen all that much, but then again i never read the comics
I am drawn towards the new clint Eastwood movie
Hi there josh, not a fav genre of mine either
The next big movie on the horizon is the Star Trek movie
Yes, thanks, MonkeyG, it is!
ne6,21 works, yes!
Cool, I found it too now.
suddenly feels out of touch as I didn't realise there was a new ST movie on its way
so, is the ad5.14 fishy? spinning wheels here
The spelling I originally posted IS a word, but it's a proper noun.
yep. with Karl Urban, hurray!
ad5/14 - skillful
phone brb
ah, NOW I see it.. tyvm, Vicuna

And Simon Pegg as Scotty
Of the innumerable phantoms the one that has been bugging me most consistently is cognate.

(Movieman to PB for naming the movie franchise.)

In off topic news, I managed to get a speed appointment at the opthalmologist tomorrow.

Sounds like drive-through medical service.
i do not have it mm
ne6/21 - water spirit in mythology
me either, mm

Oops, had to answwer the door and release one four year old to his grandmother. Now on with the eye story...
*wandering off, ho hum* Bye, all.
Bye Vi dear!
bye, Vicuna..
bye thanks.. didn't get it .. but..thanks anyway
Nothing so simple as smooshed glasses... .... Started with normal pinkeye caught from a string of neighbors. Then it turned into a secondary bacterial infection, also with massive tonsillitis. Antibiotics, two kinds of eye drops, etc. Now the pinkeye and all that are gone but my left eye stings all the time and I see blurry out of it, so the doctor is sending me to the opthalmologist.
Oh, bye vi!
And I think I will be off for a while too. TTFN
Bye FMitch!
ooh, what an ordeal, Monkey.. sorry you've had to suffer, hope it gets better soon... Bye, FM... so glad you stopped in ! Take care, see you again soon, I hope.. byee
Thanks. Now that the actual infection is gone and I can do nifty stuff like swallow water again, I am not suffering... but I am concerned. Probably just corneal scarring that will heal itself but I'm glad I can have it looked at.
OK, must off to cook sausages. Doing a typically Dutch dinner tonight-- pork sausages on rolls with mustard.
Have fun everyone!
good luck with the eye, Monkey!
bye, Monkey.. have a good appt. tomorrow..
ru, did you get it yet?
back from lunch... Monkey so glad you finally got the pink eye cleared up and are on the mend.... hope the blurry, stiny feeling clears up soon too
stingy *
nope
ne + prefix for doing it again + not the ego

I make a good maki roll at home with marinated sitake and spinach - very good
raw brocoli is awful
marinated in soy and sesame oil and then sauteed
shitake - not sitake
that sounds okay
(watch the language.. lol)
it is better than OK ; )
I love raw broccoli, especially the stems
I have it every day for lunch
you eat tree leave too bichon?
i prefer the flower part bichon
leaves
or floret I guess would be teh right word
not, the stem closest to the flower, not the hard part. I love lots of raw veggies
When I was a child my imaginary friends were lettuce, celery and carrot
**whistling **

ROFL sorry but you di ask
*did*
got a cast iron stomach that dog
I think he must have Lynxxx. No ill after-effects either :)
what is a good brand for chai?
What I don't understand is how he understands GIVE when I am throwing a ball for him but when it comes to dead-rabbit GIVE turns into EAT UP QUICK by the timme the words reach his ears
I am down to the dreaded 68 :-)
anyone like to read about Artificial Intelligence? I did not think I would like this book but I did
Ahhh...Liz....survival is the difference!
Survival of the fittest therefore Oscar beats me every time lol
LOL!
I am looking up the name of thebrand I like peri
Peri what book are you reading about articial intelligence?
Hobbit totally showed me up at the vets today
VET!! Eeek! Why??? Shes not ill???
I've been trying to teach her to do "paw" for ages. Nope. Nothing. So the vet nurse crouches down next to her and says "Paw?" and HObbit immediately GIVES HER A PAW!!
I just finished it, Liz; Death Match by Lincoln Child. I didn't quite grasp all the computer talk but I did like the book. Easy reading too
oosters :)
boosters even!
it is a novel.
Might look out for that Peri - I'm nearly finished a book right now so I'll need another...
Ah Not the dreaded Oosters!
oosters and bum squeezing!
I got it from the library, Liz
LOL I used to DIY the gland thing EWW

Never mind the dog! I used to get upset!
Poor Hobbit :(

chuckie got skunked a few years ago and we gave him a bath in the kitchen sink with dish detergent adn a vinegar rinse
May have to dash in a mo - want to watch the Kilimanjaro thing on tv
wow
just talked to a friend and he is making salmon patties for supper and his mon is also having salmon
watch them flying home in a private jet!
peri I can't fin the Chai I like I know which store carries it in DC and its name is Tiger something and it is caffeine free grrrr a mind is a terribly wasteful thing
I know - kind of spoiled it really but still.... I just want to watch with my eyes half closed and dream of Ben and the teeeam on M Chimborazo
teeeeeeam!
Sporfle!
what kind of cat is atalante
OK I'm off....BBL ... Bye Ata, have fun everyone

Hey THANKS Jmc, like I NEEDED another vehicle for procrastination....
i am OLd and thought i knew a lot of words but i still learn several new ones every day
:-)
I thought I would try some of the Facebook stuff
:-)
Have you seen the "25 Random Things" one yet?
f/b is fab
Hi Ata :-)
I was starting to work on the 44 things about me
I love it, I've found a bazillion people I've lost touch with over the years
The movie one didn't look that interesting--my movie tastes are pretty ecletic
walter is wondering how salmon chowder would be with hot saude
sauce-
and the "Griddle" application on facebook is JUST what the Dr. ordered on the days the Babble grid gets too frustrating
mmmmmm salmon chowder.......... that sounds yummy..........
I think it would be tasty with hot sause
I love lexulous
Griddle? I will have to look at that one
come on over blue- we made lots

whaT IS CHAI
thanks all :-D byebye!
I am feeling giddy because I got an unsolicited grant offer in the mail today
chai is an indian spice tea--look at my profile sammys
bye blue
How fantastic jmc...is it a done deal or do you have to do a submission?
chai is really good, never saw a caffeine free one tho
I have to do a submission but I konw three people on the board and they have told me I will get something
you can get nice green chai teas
sammysmom are you over 60?
I have a chai-flavored protein powder. I mix it with vanilla flavored yogurt...yummers!
it was the first caffeine free chai I found--wish I could remember the name
YUP WILL BE 70 IN NOV
ooo chai mixed with yoghurt sounds good
wish you could too, do you buy it in the regular supermarket or a health food store?
ok, then you are old :-) or at least older than me
I'm thrilled for you jmc...such a great cause and nice to get such recognition
I buy it at this strange drug/grocery store near me--but I see the brand in Safeway just not the particular tea
CHAI SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE- will have daughter in law get the stuff so we can make it
Bigelow and Good Earth both make decaf black tea chai.
it is nice to have some one offer rather than have to go out looking
they might have it then in the Whole Foods Market near me
especially this year
Tazo chai is not good. Do not get Tazo chai!
thanks Vicuna will look into that
hi vi!!
there is no tea in this chai
I don't like Yogi chai either
I won't Ata, thanks
Hi everyone - if you can't find deacf chai, you can make you'r eown. Jus tboil spices with decaf tea bag
ok, did not think of that, Becca
Hi Vicuna & Becca
got it:celestial seasons one of my least favorite brands except for this chai
my husband makes lovely chai
twinings chai is nice for a general black chai. in fact it's yummy. basically, check the ingredients and check you approve of the spice mix. if you like the spice mix, you'll like the tea
Hello, all.
and sorry for all hte typos - I'm REALLY tired!
hi vic and becca
I actually have Celestial Seasons Chai tea in my cupboard but it is not decaf
BTW, Starbucks carries Tazo decaf chai filterbags.
it is bengal tiger chai
thanks, jmc, will took for it
I googled decaf chai tea and it came up with a bunch of different brands and stores.
wait, is the bengal tiger chi by celestial seasons?
I bought a brand once that was awful
*chai* even
BBL
Me too! bbl1
back for my second half..are you all finished?
no, have 64 left to find
I am hungry, need to find something for dinner
bbl
Hey Babble Family !
wow, I can clear out a room
hi aussie!
hi Aussie :)
I wish I were an an8 and could eat a big dinner on4 a week instead of having to come up with a new dinner every single evening.
hi krista
hi kristapoo!
Hey jmc, Hey Krista !
sorry I am at work an occasionally have to do something construtive
Hey Ata !
hi aussie!
I have 209 words to go, it's going to be a long haul !
ty vic for the an*
174 for me
hi folkies...vic, do one with words I don't have...like ad 7/36, please..
Hello, Krista, Aussie, whomever else I'm missing.
I wish I were ad7/32 at making dinner?
more ad5
Hey Vi !
is that snow on doggy's nose, Ata? so cute
sand :D
It's sand on Hobbit's nose.....
earleno- are you on??
It was inspirational yesterday !
oh thanks, Vic! fish me, but thanks!
yes aussie?
such soulful eyes
You can have da4/6 for your fish.
Moi ?? I didn't ask anything....
what was inspirational yesterday?
she has. she eyed an old lady on the beach today and she gave hobbit a sausage!
thinking on the da 4/6...
The sand on Hobbit's nose..... I looked at it, and found a word that none of us had.....
got it..not that I knew it was a fish though
Ha ! the da4/6 I have !
o nice to be inspired by sand on a pretty dogs nose
wonder if that would work for me, Ata...
**shovels sand on Krista's nose to see what happens**
are you inspired krista?
nah, i'm not nearly as charming, even with sand on my nose
or are you planning to eye old ladies
I wish someone would give me some sausage, so I wouldn't have to make something more complicated for dinner.
**makes Vi a nice casserole, so she doesn't have to cook**
Mmmm . .sausage ..
indeed torg
what do you have to cook tonight?
LOL Aussie! I'm inspired to take a nap, actually. Sooo tired. Took the kids on a maple sugaring field trip today. Very interesting.
**makes Torg a sausage sandwich so he's not hungry**
That sounds lovely, Aussieme. But alas, the stomach is more than merely virtual.
Thanks aussie!
No, jmc, but have been known to eye old men if they are cute.
cool krista did they get maple syrup candy?
I have to produce something, anything, to be shovelled into four voracious maws this evening, Ata.
It's such a shame Vi..... I wish I could feed you more than virtually....
bread and jam. easy. lol
one word vic: pasta
no..i LOVE that stuff..got lots of samples and we bought a pint
I'm thinking stir fry, but I'm fantasizing anything that doesn't require me to stand int he kitchen.
lol @ Krista eyeing old men !!
If Dr_God ever updates the dictionary, maybe da4/5ce6/21 will be accepted ..
sounds like a frozen pizza night to me, Vic
oh, good one, Tor
Hey Krista ..I'm an old man ..
bread and jam, the stuff of my childhood. Getting home from school to a bread and jam sandwich, while doing homework and trying to watch cartoons !!
same here aussie!
**eyeing Tor....**
I will have to write that one down so when I get the words I can laugh! lol
:0) I swear, it was the best thing in the world !
*doing fireworks dance*
absolutely
wtg judi
YAY Judi !!!!! *-8-* *-8-* *-8-*
Yay for Judi!
way to go, Judi!!
They've already had bread and jam for lunch and bread and jam for snack!
Ata, if you don't mind me asking, and you don't mind telling, how old are you ?
Yay Judi!
and someone mum would make chocolate refridgerator cake instead
34 :)
Ha !! Me too !!
really? woot!
who is older??
mere babies
Yep, have you had your birthday this year ?
nope, june
Me too !
Hey, Vic - pretend you're in the movie "Oliver" and serve them oatmeal.
i have a grand daughter age 32-lol
... with jam of course.
wow, would be cool if you share a bday
June the what ?
20th
gruel...
Junue 11th here, I pipped you by 9 days !
Oatmeal's too good for them. Thin gruel or nothing!
WOW!!
that's my son's birthday, Ata!
Oof. You're 4 days older than me, Ata.
lol, rbud. You've got the id4!
that's VERY cool
It is very cool.....
2 day off the TOG's birthday, too, Ata.
"what?!?!? you want MORE?!?!?!?" lol
just give them water. easier
both Gemini
Yep, Geminians we are !
so i know where I was on Ata's bday in 2001
Stale crust of water!
lol vic
lol... Stale crusts of water Vi, is that a new food group ?
there. lovely. nice and easy
If they're lucky, there will be maggots for protein.
bleaugh !! maggots !
eewwww!
The only hitch, good folks, is that I have 4 (four) voracious maws to feed, and one of them is *mine*!
maggots are v protein rich
Mmmm. Taste like flies.
*dialing the child protective agency quitely*
rofl jmc !
whew *hanging up before the phone is answered*
we got to strain bugs out of maple sap today..we suggested leaving them in for protein, but NO..
loooool
**remembers not to ask Judi why the spaghetti is wriggling**
Unless I am going to have nothing but stale crusts of water myself, I will still need to come up with something! Aaargh.
I have ea5/10 many a bug
lol aussie
I still like the frozen pizza idea
The FDA is so overly picky about insect presence in all foods. Grind them up small enough and no one will know.
what do youhave in the freezer?
Open the freezer, and have whatever falls oput first !!
*out
There's always take-away or delivery. Pizza, Chinese, etc. etc.
Every time I feed 4 boys I feed them pasta
The FDA permits up to 269 aphids per pound of frozen brocolli.
oh oh, cooking spaghetti right now! (but it's not wriggling...) ;p
broccoli
broccolli
brrocoliii
bbrrooccoollii
reminds me of that statistic I've heard a few times now, Judy..that we eat several pounds of spiders in our lifetime!
I have heard that, Vic. Serves the aphids right for being such klingons.
whatever
have you ever counted the aphids in your broccolli
broccoli even
Hobbit ate a starfish!
Didn't want to know we ate spideys....... yuck !
If you can't taste them, they're not there.
my grandmother always said you eat a peck of dirt in your lifetime so don't worry about it
Oh, yuck, Ata! That can't have tasted good.
Poor Hobbit, eating spiders.....
exactly
No, I reckon that many aphids is obviously fine, since I've never noticed any. And frozen broccoli is son's favorite veggie so we eat a *lot*
bad hobbit starfish are protected wildlife
not here they aren't :)
i believe spiders are pure protein
Smurfs favorite veg too..... She calls the florets "Baby Trees"
I would think starfish would be toxic as well as distasteful.
it was very dead anyway. I threw it over to her for her to investigate. I looked round a few seconds later and she was EATING it
nah, people eat starfish fine
bet it was nice and chewy
spiders probably have no protein
I'd not like to think I was eating starfish.....
damn
rabbits starfish anything else we should know about
bet it was!
dammmmmmm then i will stop eating themjm
lol sammys
**No talk of eating rabbits please, Scrabbs may ne lurking, it's not nice**
Liz's dog was even more disgusting
*be
dogs be dogs
they always say bugs have protein on the survior shows, so i'd think spiders would, too..so keep enjoying those spides, sammysmom
oops I thought I closeded this page
hi everyone hi aussie :D
fastidious people probably shouldn't own dogs
lol.... Kisses Oodle !
hi oodle
ak please
apparently spider silk has protein
it is bothering the hell out of me
maybe I should go eat a shirt
a + barbie's partner + 2nd vowel
so eat 'em up, webs and all
ty aussie
I can't be doing with the little buggers crawling about..... I don't DO spiders.....

In fact, I just don't like bugs !

well I am too aussie specially black widows taranchulas and the like oh and the one spider in the south
I get shivers when my smurf sits singing Incy Wincey Spider !! Its not good, 'cos it's her favorite song !

Oodle, what a beautiful picture of the Ice Castle !! Thank you for sharing !

yqw
I do, I do !!
no krista said she didn't see icon
Sorry I didn't respond about my pups, I got kicked out
yes, thought you meant a new one since then, sorry
and I get the impression you are only allowed 6 pics here
that seems to be happening to a lot of people lately daisy..
I got kicked out last night, and do you think I could get back in ?? Not a hope in hell !
My McAfee program is always updating and fixing stuff
ok everyone take their boots off ... AND QUIT KISCKING DAMMIT

So, I got a 97 + 5.5 on my final!
pink seaweed??? *confused mama look*
Can't even remember why, of course, but there was much discussion of bugs in food, and the factoid is that the FDA permits up to 269 aphids per pound of frozen broccoli is all.
trying to finish this awful grid!
yippee Phand!!!
YAY PHAN!
I was worried the starfish had come back for its revenge
Congrats, phanmd!
HI SESA!!!!
really.. charming, vi. i'm sticking to fresh broccoli
oh dear. never eating frozen again!

Imagine being haunted by the ghost of a starfish.

Well Hobbit should be even if Ata is not!

ER is like a weekly Soap, no reason to be ashamed, I used to wath it.
all of mine are guilty pleasures..i watch the trashiest tv these days..escapism, i guess
I watch all the csi's if I get started
I like Lawand Order and the Daily show.
soon we can all say "used to" red.... this is the last season. and I must say it outlived its interest a couple of years ago, but I am stuck. daily show and Colbert report every night!
Yes,I am watching COlbert rerun from last night now.
SOrt of scary, hes making fun of the situation in which that poor lady lost her arm after getting phenergan somehow arterially.
i had forgotten how long ER has been on until i read something about it recently...
hi welki. new bones is on in 15 minutes

JM its a good thing as i can read in bed :D
I like the larger games for the weekend when I have time to take time...don't like rushing...make too many mistakes...
how about petagon jbp
I never liked Clooney on ER -- he slouched. He's learned to stand up straight since then.
The best way to learn is to read right before you fall asleep

* will think about it - was on a drill team in HS...high kicks and jump splits *
you got it, jmc
co 5/16 is what is done at drunken reveals in movies
oooh, the other kind of dance! i can still imagine you being a rockette, jilli

ca 7 -- pangloss was a major character in ca**iti and penny: c***
pangloss was in something by molier yes?
voltaire
who's pangloss?
all-time greatest fan dancer. very artful!
lbd, I did do a bit of that stuff at McGill. Just recently figured out that the reason our little group of innocents was so popular with the frat guys -- they hoped for a peek up our pants when we high-kicked, lol!
<-- feeling rather out of it
lol, jilli
candide in anycase
Sally Rand was a fan-dancer/stripper
Pini, i didn't know who pangloss was either
<-- yep...very out of date (or a younger member of the group)
music by Leonard Bernstein
* sits next to lbd *
nothing to do with age *crosses arms and huffs*
i've never been good at identifying "celebs" they are just people to me. Hubz would point out some famous person, and i'd say..."who?"
SORRY! no offense intended! :)
not a famous person a character in an iconic play
they are just people lbd.. they just don't know it..
Jeopardy is on, and I'm getting peckish so must get supper -- ttfn. Has anyone looked at my icon and story? Nobody seems to have had any interest in this theme...
okay pini probably just tired tonight and touchy
* checking *
Well, nobody in the USA, anyway...
Nice looking fish!
I have a chai recipe but your fish one looks more interesting
very tasty, pam...
thank god kje isn't here..she'd eat it
sounds yummy, jilli
does it make me old to know of Sally Rand and co5/16 and Candide, or am I just a cultural sponge, LOL?
raw
LOL, ruru
hi ruru
it will be flying around hitting people later
so what's the matter with old??????? (giggle)
LOLOL, jilli
hi guys...
no pam they are just excusing their ignorance
hi ruru
hi ruru
I am reading the Andrewy Jackson bio now, so I am once again rooted in the mid 19th century....
hi, ruru!

age is only an excuse for low long people have been around
* wince * sorry...probably an incorrect word on my part...how about "uncultured*?"
go mixi!
see lbd is proof! lol
I'd want to be here for what??
go mix
Today, a customer told me that port was popular in the year of my birth and should look into some, ruru. As if I could afford a decent 1960 port, LOLOLOL
And I am hooked on American Revolution theme--John Adams, The Crossing, Liberty <---DVDs
LOL, tor!
ooo if you want to say you are uncultured lol who I am to argue :-P
Hi ruru & torgone

hi scrabby
TORGIE!!! you missed jilli high kicking and fan dancing
how many scrabs?
I think the customer was just trying to egg me on.. he is a good customer....
Leonard Bernstein taught my son (and me) so much about music with his 50s TV programmes -- we watched them together religiously
Gee I thought it was George Bush who set us back 100 years

Woo hoo! Fan dance!

what is more satisfying is playing with friends
the water word is first oc
