how about a hint for that upper u8?
jilli, with the 2 hour diff, it is during homework, dinner and feeding animals and preparing myself for a night of romance with the boy
un8 - not ge6
darn, mrp!
jilli - handling roughly
I keep wondering when this 'romance' phase of the marriage is over? We have been married 13 years.... can't we just be friends now??
ty for the un 8
lol mrp!!!
thanks, hugs *thinking foggily* (tired)
I could say something .. but I won't
what is the count on the second u please
and now that I am 'old', it takes a bit more effort to look hot!!... although the hot flushes don't help!
just wonder why it's not also a un9? don't seem right...
old???
you say nothing ruru?? where is my ruuster and what have you don't with him!!!
you are a lovely lady mr p...
100/129 making progess
awww, thanks ruru
you don't have to try to look hot
those are power surges, mrp, or so I'm told - not hot flushes! ;p
un6 is the other top U
ty hug!!
DR, I had a weird experience the other day... I tried to write a phone number on the back of my hand, and the skin was moving around so much, I couldn't get a single digit down!! I realised how 'old' I was because of the inelasticity of my skin! LOL
" I am HOT it just comes in flashes now"
ad6
yw Dee
too right ruuster!! LOL
I have em8, en8, un8 - what is the last 8?
don't think I have ever seen the un 6 before
that is an odd experience
me neither
sa 6 and sa 7 if not said
anike you have the same as I do
beats me on the en 8
I write on my palm... not the back : )
those are all the 8's I have too
Hello again everyone -- I have been lurking since the flip while waiting for laundry to finish drying
HI GW_ Have not seen you in ages
(((hugs))) woulf!
DR, I have now learnt to do that! LOL
mrp -- in reference to your romance issues.... that is what I love about you -- always something new to complain about 8-D
ma 6 x 5 so far
en 8, to twist together
oooh, nice twisty word too
Dee - ma6 x 6 was called and ma7 x 3 was called previously... FYI
so are there 2 en 8's? I have the twisty one
LOL woulf!! at least I complain about the good stuff!!
ty hug
Hey DR -- I know -- great to be back -- thanks to the economy I am able to reclaim my life from my job -- plan to see me a bit more - primarily on weekends
ma 6 x7
Hi GW... long time no see

Hugabugs!! way too long since I last saw you! But then I don't get to stay up late all that much anymore

Hugs back to your family as well, mrp -- So glad to hear that all is going well for you healthwise
yes dee
I'm fine thanks dc - just typing in words that are wrong - going to give this away for a while. I have had the pool heater on for a while so going for a swim b4 guests arrive.
my health is better, I have had a few changes in meds, but seem to be settling down now
ty mrp
Party at anike's!
I have the en (to tie up) what is the other?
nice one anike!
I hate to pester, mrp, but are we going to get Lickety's list when your time changes? Or now?
nice, anike, do entoy
skinny dipping anike?
yes jilli, am pestering him now!! LOL
all aussies skinny dip
lickety will be busy doing other things
that is one I cannot find ru
instead of skinny dipping, ruru?
like making himself hot for mr p...
according to mr p
aldie is a town near here.
I don't skinny dip - don't want to scare anyone!!
lotta heat in that house...
This grid is making me feel better than the last one -- just noticed that I have found 151 so far, the clues in the log have helped
got that en8/9 -- had tried it for the un8 but it didn't work
there's a pair of semitic letters A in the grid
Anyway with 75 to go I will leave you all to it for a while. Bye
ty dc
got one of them anyway
bye, anike!
enjoy the swim anike
and the other one
be well, anike
farewell, anike

howdy, seain

mrp, why are feelings hurt?
yeah I feel like Stevie Wonder on these 8'
does the second en 8 exist?
8's
oh, NBT, btw
don't let them dictate what is your decision to make ...
jilli, had a huge argument with my brother... I think I cried for about 4 hours the other night... got a terrible headache and couldn't think straight for 24 hours
yay, jilli!
2nd en8 is en8/45 - goes with en7/32
you are right babrab.... of course you are... is a shame they are heartless
I remember you had that fight, mrp...sorry it still hurts
ty grey!!!
yw
can I get another clue on the second en 8?
Yay - finally greyed out a box -- I have a lot of them laughing at me needing only one more to finish
lickety is working out the timing of clues to change... so hopefully will have clues soon
to shine forth, ruru
ty mrp
woulf! you will get back into the full swing again and blitz the grid as usual! ((hugs))
isn't that em 7 and em 8 then?
mrp, hope Luke is better
thanks babrab :) he is doing well
there can't be two en 8's
then, say hello to the big guy for me, please
I will babrab :))
I think we are still missing one 8... I have em 8, en 8, un 8, and I think the other one is still incognito
whoops -- my bad -- it must be past my bedtime
I think so too Dee
:)
those are three i have as well and i have the e greyed so no en 8
no prob grey.... I just don't need much help to be confused lol

wow, mrp!
night hugs!
now that I'm safely past the nightly burp!, has lickety posted?
be well, Hugs, and thanks
yes, pav :)
indeed pav :)
lots of Halo nuts around here, too, weekly tournaments in a local gaming "parlor"
I am down to the last 60, so I thought I'd see what's left..not quite tired yet...
oh, so halo is a game!
Luke and Mark are halo nuts!
I only just gave permission for my little boy to play, as he is now 10
and, they also are allowed to watch SouthPark, under full parental supervision.... but Simpsons is still off the cards
We have a teenage son, know all about the Halo craze. And Guitar Hero! **rolls eyes**
I haven't seen South Park but I thought it was full of bad words
I think it's far worse than the Simpsons, personally.
Simpsons is wrong! It teaches the kids to hate their parents, think they are stupid and give them the right to be evil. South Park is naughty kids being naughty... and lots of obscure and inappropriate hate crimes.
Simpsons is far the worse of them all.
You may have a point there. My kid doesn't watch either, though, too busy with his band and skateboard.
I'm glad I'm past that!
how does the simpsons teach kids to hate their parents?
ummmm, watch an episode
hi ata!
I don't really think the Simpsons are meant for kids, anyway. Too many things go right over their heads.
I've watched whole series
Well, maybe when you watch it again, you will see what I mean.
It is good you know what your children are watching, mrp
I doubt it. None of the friends I've just asked nor me have ever seen anything like this in the simpsons. Maybe we're just unsensitive
insensitive ...
the only thing that really bugged me about the Simpsons were those awful Itchy & Scratchy "cartoons" - never understood why they kept up with those.
no. unsensitive in this case.
I believe it is insensitive, but that is my opinion
insensitive is the correct spelling, but in this case I really un-sensitive, which I think is slightly different
g'day
hello, josh
hi josh
hi josh :)
hi josh
oof, just wanted unta**** so bad
well, 56 left and NBT -- bedtime! Night all
josh -- try a diff beginning
ty still trying to unblank that u unfortunately
it's rough, josh
un8
first pass through Lickety's list yielded 35 more words..down to 25
wtg pav -- and now I'm really poofing
bye, jilli!
well some of these words I've not heard of before..and some spellings are strange
be well, jilli
see you tomroow Jilli
lots of "el" and "le" interchanging on the ends...
got a un6, NBT
yay, josh!
I think I'll also bid adieu and finish later this morning...
nitol!
night pav
gnite, PAV, think I'm off, too. Only just got to 99 left (listless)
124 left here, i don't know why i started this one
LOL, PAV, thanks for the ad5!
and ad6...
why isn't annum accepted?
oh man! missed those...ok now 23
latin officially? maybe?
but per would be accepted
ah well
mmm, this grid has become.... INPASSABLE!! might go make dinner, and see where I get afterwards!
was surprised they worked, PAV - nite again... ;)
josh, all medical stuff is nasty to identify
medical stuff?
is tanning still big in the states??
in some areas, sure
per annum... anus of the year
LOL! it is a joke?? no?
*rim shot*
LOL josh!!
ok, being an aussie, I must admit my jokes are not always taken, but I love to joke with the queens english!
well, the joke as far as i'm concerned is that i tried annum and then annums
didn't take?? LOL! I feel your pain
well I certainly unmat hobbit's fur on a daily basis!
now i have reached halfway and sleep is imminent
indeed ata!! we have a few pillowcases full of unmatted fur from vixie! LOL
see ya josh :))
Angry grid is angry >.<
we took a whole carrier bag of fur of Hobbit yesterday. incredible
*off
ata, you should get money for that! LOL!! My doggies fur is so soft, the sweater should cost at least $4000 !!
and the cat... don't even let me go there! She has puked up a furball that could have been another cat!!
I have a book called "Knitting with Dog Hair"!
cats are soooo foul lol
morning all..
cats are vomitous!!
ta we used to have a lab who used to loll about on the raised decking..she shed her hair so much that we never had to weed under the decking..her hair created a weed mat..lol
vomitous... that cannot be english! LOL
nice sustainable gardening there, rolin!
I believe it is vomitus!!
I gave too much vowel accreditation to the word!
i was ahead of my time..lol
that is awesome rolin!! I should make a weed mat from Vixie's fur!!
i live to serve...
but if you subtract...dont you 'unadd'?
Ata! OMG! are you for real?? how do you manage knitting with dog hair?? do you have to get a special wheel to spin it?
no, you just have to use the right types of dog hair I think
I have got bagfulls of Vixies caramel coloured hair... it would make an incredible sweater
she is a longhair madam... i should imagine i could use her hair
have a look online, there are definitely dog hair knitting people out there!
Hello. My mum used to have a keeshond, she spun and knitted a sweater from him
oh wow! will certainly have a peek
hi lynxx! how fabulous!
wow!!!
I actually have a wool spinner... so might be able to spin dog hair, if I had good instruction
does that make me a spinster!?? LOL
or am I just a hairy dog spinner
lol probably! anyway, it's pup walking time here, so I'll bbl. hi and bye lyn and stew!
lol. 'fraid Mum is long gone, but as Ata said probably something online. From memory only some sorts of long haired dogs are suitable, probably not the silky haired ones
bye Ata & the short haired Hobbit
lyn and stew? is that you lynxx? and whom else?
stew = stewart, my greyhound
ah!! love the name stewart! great name for a doggy!
he came with it..Stewart Little. Little kids love it!
oh how sweet!!
I have to go prepare dinner for the family! bbq tonight! steak, mash potato, cucumber & tomato salad... all the good stuff!! See you all later! (((hugs)))
Yum. Sounds delic and easy. Enjoy
couldn't sleep---Greetings fellow Babblers!
hello, repateena
Hey BR!

there are a number of words that appear to be plurals while what seemed to me to be the singular was rejected
indeed! Rather frustrating.
also, I want that en8/9 combo with un as well.

Oops, there are two am
Say it after a prayer Merk?
Merk, end of prayer
Am I the only one with a weird looking chatterbox this morning?
I have 3 am's......
all is well here Merk
After en-ing myself to death, it was an em 7/8 combo. ***sigh*** 41 left after the first sweep
I have am x 4 and that should be all
Chat's fine here Merk
That is strange that is a valid word
Ahh, missing 1 more am. Eggzellent!
Got it, mercy buckets sprite
OOO UNTANGLE UN tA N need 2 N's
my pleasure Lori
bad lady
Gah! Seeing words on the second sweep. Stoopid French good bye. Poopy. Now only missing 1 painful a
No im not i didn't say a word *sort of*
the only am's I have are the prayer ending ones???
there's an an7 that looks like a plural but has no singular
2 more, Ishult.
sorry
i KNOW BUT WHAT ARE THEY???
another am5/12 that only differs in last letter. Plus am4/6
just monkeyed am5/12
got it, ty
an 7 it is. ***looking***
yw Ishult
night night
Got it. A torture is over. Nice clue
yay Lori
night lady, sleep well and get better soon
I tried it in singular earlier, and when rejected, I moved on as it were.
night all
Lori, I know, I did the very same. It was BabbleRabble who told me there were quite a few plural-like words that had no singular in this grid.
*does little happy dance for finding Li8 compound all by herself*
night infern :)
better go sleep myself... have to work in the morn. I will sort out my schedule then! night all
night mrP
Thanks Sprite. Hello everyone
hi lyn
heh, thanks sprite. Shoulda' known to try and extend that
G'nite, mrp.. hi lynxxx, sprite, flosey, Lori and all who are lurking
hi Aloy
*tries not to look smug and fails utterly*
Found a really weird ca 6/7. Ends in last 4 letters of what you lick ice cream with
G'd morning Aloy! G'd morning Lynx!
there are more like those, Lori
another starting like you Lori
ty Lori! was missing that and its pl.. (-:
For obvious reasons, it was my last c's. Not a word, IMO
Thanks Lynx!
my last c's too!
Yea Aloy!
Still missing an 8. I got nuthin' happening from that top u. Shall I consider that a strong last 8 candidate?
It sits there and mocks me with its big fat zero
you should, Lori
i'm back
yes you could say that
wb ardilla
unis are in the wash
wb ardilla. Thanks sprite. Shall I think combo?
so now some babble as a reward for a job well done, ardilla
Oops, and thanks Lynx
I think you shouldn't, Lori
you could also mix the u with that end you found before
I almost said da**! :p ***looking***
Excellent nudges. Off I go
Got the 5, mercy buckets Lynx
The u mocks me no more. Thanks again ladies.
off to the sin bin with you, Lori
but you are welcome anyway :P
Gah. ***Goes unwillingly***
ah, another french combo
Besides the ad's?
yes
D finally done. Missed an obvious 6/7
clue for the top u pls? last BT
scroll down ardilla
how odd that our brains refuse to see the utter obvious
G done. So, the french combo is in the s, m, l or f. ***tries to remember that***lol
let me know if you want a clue, Lori
Yep. On the second sweep, some of what I missed are utterly fishy.....
oh I have a pronunciation question. Is to bow pronounced differently from to shoot a bow?
yes
Lori, don't feel alone.. am hunting those u's as my last two words!
Yep, short o, long o
yes sprite..one is a long o,and the other a short
morning everyone
Aloy, scroll down a bit for the top u's
still not getting the top u clue...:(
thanks all, and hi crossy!
ardilla: rough or not kind
I am also looking for that U... and I didn't "get it" from scrolling down.
hi Crossy
hi crossy lady and aloy
G'd morning cross
to bow for applause is like bough. shoot a bow and arrow is like bo, long o.

hi ardilla... hi crossy
hi ardilla, hi all...I've been lurking for... um... let's see. 145 words. sowwy

Hi ata.
actually there's two orifice words
*has just been being quiet for a bit*
indeed monkey, thanks for the heads up on the orifices.
one of them is a naughty word that I have never uttered in my life
"heads up" and "orfices" should never be typed together
But I thought ti was an absoloute stunning combo Ata.
heehee
it's certainly very special :)
I try to be special when I can be.
a chef I used to work for called me that word ONE time (the C word) and that was the last day I worked for him
the last hour too?
how you going turtle? :))
how you going turtle? :))

Iamfine.

I don't know what Publix is
I put guyaba pastery in the PB earlier.

weird .. got a "unable to enter word" message and time registered as "less than 1 minute left"
1st an5/14?
finally got all the u's - anyone need a clue?
nothing unusual there!
strange ugly fish seain.
heavenly creature, madi
one of those bastard things tried to eat me years ago TO. LOL.
LOL ata
hi, madi, long time
o.0
indeed so, TO
*smacks head* thanks
that dracula fish is a really big thing in the world of evolutionary development at the moment
that makes sense to me, ata
everyone always thought that tooth plates rather than real teeth were a primitive feature (and they still are). But this fishy just shows we can never be entirely certain whether something is primitive or actually really advanced
sorry. i am babling while watching george stephanopulis. politics and my breakfast just don't mix. i dcannot see how in the workd the administratio is going to pay for all of this they say we MUST do
indeed, TO.
very true, ata :)
sorry. back to lurk mode for a bit
I've always been fascinated by that. it's really fun to study
Hi there, fellow Babblers.
hi gramma
1 hour left till the wisitation and 190 to go. i don't think i am going to make it
Madi, who are you wisiting?
oops. *visiting* my grandpa died on friday and we are going to illinois for the visitaion
Sorry for your loss.
wisiting sounds more fun
wisiting = a quick bathroom stop
so sorry about your grandfather, madi
its ok. he got altziemers 4 years ago. He wasn't really here anyway. we were close though
Boy, that's a lousy thing!
hello fellow babblers!
Madi, I am so sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose someone your close to even if they have been ill for a long time
hi nono
Hi Ata, is Hobbit still sulking?
yes lol!
why is hobbit sulking... did ata cut him again?
poor baby, she must feel frigtfully unsightly right now
no! we trimmed her lol
she went from very fluffy spaniel to kinda naked
you delilah'ed her???? I am shocked!
annual event! check my flickr :)
awww. my dog just got in trouble for digging. she got under the fence and dad gave her a bath
I don't want to see hobbit naked... I am not into doggie porn
woof
loooool she's still child-safe viewing
now ruru naked - completely different story - LOL
poor thing
hello
hi harp
hi Jane
but... I am not shaved...
she actually likes being shorn, it's much easier and cooler for her to run for hours
oooohhhh - poor hobbit - all her beautiful curls gone!!!! hiding her head in a pillow! you should be ashamed ata
we can fix this ruru
nah - straight men do not usually get shorn - LOL
I blame husband. He had the trimmer. His idea. I whimpered all the way through!
bad hubby!
very!
I'd wait till he is sleeping and shve his head
*snerk*

jbp, me either. Sometimes I move on and remember the clue and it comes clear later.
*back to lurk mode*
How bout li8? please.
oh shoot, there is an li8? will look
un6 - the first 4 letters go continually SW

Hello TO and ping

You're welcome!
hi kje haz and to
oh nice. say hello to TO and Ping adn not me
us5/12 - u plus a reworking of Mr O'Casey's first name (Irish playwright)
hi ata
hi ping :)
I'm not sure whether I can bring myself to speak to someone who could stand by while a spaniel is assaulted with shears....
hi ping
LMAO
yay haz!!!!! rofl - poor hobbit : (
And take photos as well. No shame.
not shears! it was a dog trimmer!
especially given mr. ata's haircutting talents
A dog trimmer in the hands of an amateur. I rest my case.
he trims hobbit better than his own hair LOL
I have complete faith in the ability of the professionals to do a job properly. This was reinforced when I once allowed my husband to plaster a wall.
well i'm hoping he'll let me go back to the pros after this!
what does the 9 begin with?
If he doesn't, I'm starting up a savings account for Hobbits Haircuts.
en9
The 9 em9 from em
realizing I don't ahve an ma 6/30 either..damn
No, it doesn't. em8 em8 from em7.
shearing off some funds haz?
it was the wrong clue ru - I apologized... how long will you rub it in?
the unfortunate thing now, however, is that husband has decided that he is a dog trimming master and artiste
en + tied up sor of
en9
sort of tied up
not em
ma 6 fur diseases
Has husband had his eyes tested recently, Ata?
probably from my plastic sugery fund. i'm not buying that"it was lost int he market" line, haz
I don't think so
but ty for the em haz - now E is gray
The plastic surgery fund needs more time to mature, TO. You don't want cut-price butchery, do you?
he has always sworn he has perfect sight and thus doesn't need eye tests
but the ca6/30 is not realted to that one ru - it was a bad clue, I clued ma 6/21
i'll need double the work if i have to wait much longer. gravity is a powerful force ;)
oops - i mean ca6/21 - sigh
can I have a clue for tyhe ca 6/30 ?
I know, TO. Is it Newton we blame for gravity?
i keep seeing emmenthaler
naw, just fm
ca6/30 - American tin, then fill in the blanks, Che *** vara
fm
too weird TO - I had that phantom earlier
sorry ru, do not have it yet
ca 6 -- tin and swa***ss
ca7/44 is the plural
ty haz

You're welcome.

I'll say list. Ata will say not list.

i thinkit's hot sitting here with the laptop.
I'll say list just to annoy Haz

OMG just watching the octuplets, it's amazing some 4 1/2 lbs already
LOOL
i mean they look so normal
I'm so predictable
u r welcome kje ;)
You are indeed. It must come from the Einstein side of the family.
It is the mother that doesn't look normal ata
It'll have to be one very organised household with all those babies to be looked after.
organised with 3 nannies and whatnot!

heck, harp, all you have to do is get within a mile of a feedlot and you'd get the same reaction *peeeewwww*
true but the real damage is stuff you can't smell

this is really wierd, i just washed dishes, and cleaned my sink with a lot of bleach. now my cat won't leave my hands alone. she's rubbing her face all over them
ty sally
thanks Sally
Some cats love the smell of bleach - no idea why?!
harp my daughter's cat is the same way when she uses clorox
Yes Harp- that is odd
the male but not the female
i didn't know that, she just licked my hand and did NOT like that
I have a friend with a cat who rolls around on the floor, after she's mopped it with diluted bleach and it's dried.
her "kitten" is today's icon
Of course bleach is derived from salt, and when it dries it leaves behind a film of salt on the floor.
she has an overactive thyroid, maybe there's something in the bleach that she craves
He will lick the floor, as he's rolling on it . . .
It would proably be salt, harpjane . . .
Can't think of anything else in it they would crave?
there's salt in bleach?
well, there's chloride in salt, right?
Bleach is derived FROM salt . . . some salt compounds are called 'chlorides,' I believe - I'm not a chemist or chemistry major, sorry! :P
You could probably find out how bleach is made on Wikipedia - what can't you find out on there?
Are both of the u's at the top un's? pls and ty
yes and yw
do you want the stats?
I have one un8 yes west and ty again
na2cl - sodium chloride is table salt
sunlight is a bleaching agent, too
un6/30
Yes, thank you dcseain . . .
ah wikipedia, and it's all true, right?
So is oxygen . . .
8 to go
Most of what's on Wikepedia is fairly accurate.
go harp go
As much as any other information source online.
a friend lived in Morocco and cleaned her brass trays with salt and sunlight as her neighbors did
Some definitely isn't - but you'll find that everywhere.
actually it's more reliable than many
Yes, harpjane - although I have found some of it isn't. It's pretty good though, over all . . .
yes, though oxgygen is a better bleach in the form of hydrogen perexide
i agre with harp, wikipedia is more reliable than many, and most entries have external sources, too, which is nice
Yes, dcseain - we also use a powdered version in the wash that's popular now.
er, peroxide
Yes, dcseain . . .
we do that too, jc
so many uses for peroxide
indeed so, west
I read typo very well - and knew what you meant, dcseain! ;) Good thing, because I often type in it! :P
:) jc
hi all. this is going to sound like a strange question, but is it true that you only have white toilet roll in the U.S?
hi lili except for the holidays
today, yes lilliann, one never sees brown anymore.
hmmm....is my memory failing me, or did we used to have pastels, like pink and blue?
hi all helg with the u's please?
in the outsouse, we used the black and white Sears catalogues or newspaper.
Ewww, dcseain! :P Sure they do - after it's used!
tissues yes tp no
i remember pastels, jimmel, not seen those since the 80s i think.
or at least little colored patterns?
thx....maybe i wasn't dreaming!
we used to have brown, unbleached , toilet rolls here, the were a rougher paper.
its just that i read one of my craft magazines and in it is an article of an american woman who does origame out of loo roll
Oh yes, I see . . .
HAHAHA . . .
the u's at the top are both un's and the u's on the side are ug and us
and it said that you only get white loo rool in america
I just have the uns left
I hope her family never runs out of bog roll, because she's used it all for her art? :P
lol j.c
are there still colored facial tissues? I've not seen those in decaeds either.
*roll
ty west, un's and re's are always the hardest for me.
do you need stats hlj?
nope
in our attempts to go "green," we've gone with white?
in's and en's are difficult for me
I have those, a clue would be nice ;)
the 8 is course or rough
the 6 is un and the jeans with the logo on the rear minus the last letter
Hello all.
en 8/9= entwined; en + ta 6
hi scrabs
jimmel, some brands are oxygen-bleached rather than chlorine-bleached wood pulp. And i think we've gone ith white in part due to the high recycled content in paper products today. Else you get pressed paperboard grey like the back of cereal boxes
ty, I will think about those a bit...i know nothing about fashion, but I'll see what I can come up with
Uh...Special K box is a little rough for my tender parts, dc!
How is life across the pond, lilliann?
...and besides, white fits all decor!
fine thanks scrabs. i'm waiting to get my new rescue cat
How nice, lil. Do you have a na4 picked out?
Oh good for you, lilliann - my cat was a rescue, also. And my present and my last dogs.
And how is your daughter, lil?
i had a home visit today so will hopefully get a phone call tomorrow from the rspca to say i can pick him up
he already has one. kenny and he is a 10 year old tabby
Present dog and last dog, to make it clearer . . .
I have 2 rescued bunnies.
the cat we have now adopted us JC and i've always got rescue cats
a case of the ug6 sigh
my bunny is a resue, too , scrabbs
How is your bunny, Seain?
clue for se7 please
how are your bunnies scrabs? do you still have Bijou?
Hi DR
he's doing well, but he's caged here due to lease requirements, so i worry that he gets bored.
Yes, all the pets I've had since moving out of my parents' home have been rescues . . . not that I've had many, as I've been busy and lived mainly in flats, until three years ago.
my daughter is great thanks scrabs
Hi Scrab and Lilli and JC
Bijou is now called Miss B, for Beatrix Potter. She has the entire downstairs.
Hi, DR . . .
I am sitting outside in the sun, next to large piles of snow & ice that has not yet melted.
i did go looking for a younger cat but i saw him and he was so scared, that i had to have him. i always end up with the old and mankiest ones that no-one else wants
i learned in moving here that he bonded with Feldspar, the middle cate, quite thorughly. He gets VERY excited when she's around.
hi dr

ty Scrabs
Yummy, Girl Scout cookies!
haven't had GS cookies for years
wm, mamaWA
em, sorry, mamaWA
ty hlj ;)
yw
i have a purple, an orange, and a red box of GS cookies over on the table
Are you going to share them, dcseain? ;)
didn't you get the shortbread?
Any milk, Seain?
ty I found the 7 too :)
hmmm... orange - do-si-dos (peanut butter), purple - samoas (yummy coconut) .. what's red?
it's been years here too, west .. wonder if i remembered the box colors :)
tagalongs
gj mamaWA
tagalongs are my faves
this girl's father was with her with a wagon load no waiting!!
I like the mint ones
Send them this way, westford
So mean to talk GS cookies. Torture.
I sold mints and trefoils for 25 cents a box
I'm putting them all in the PB
that was back in the 1800's
Me too, 1968-1971.
lol
Haha, westford
LOL wes and scrab me too
BRB need refreshment
I loved being a Girl Scout--4th-6th grades...meetings, crafts, projects, camping, good times.
I loved being a Brownie and GS leader and a Cub Scout den mother
I am sure you taught kids many skills and created great memories, westford
now my little granddaughter is a Daisy Scout
I hope so scrab it was such a lot of fun
I was a Brownie, starting in 2nd grade.
she's 5 they start them earlier now
Now I do Girl Scout stuff with friends--make campfires, cook food, hike, kayak. So far 8 of us are going to the Adirondack Mtns in July...we might have 12 ladies.
oh what fun!! the closest I've been to the Adirondacks is my chairs up in Maine lol
i avoided boy scouts, and my sister dropped out of brownies after 1 year.
that's unfortunate seain it can be such a rewarding experience
Last summer 7 of us all kayaked around 4th Lake together. We had a blast.
kayaks are scary
i kayak, it's fun
you could flip over and not get out
No, westford. We do recreational, quiet water kayaking--fun, fun, fun!
I only see the rapids and rocks in those extreme sports
glad that's not what you do I'd be worried
what is 4th lake scrab?
does it have another name?
The Fulton Chain of Lakes starts in Old Forge and continues to 8th Lake. You can paddle and portage the chain.
1st through 8th, those are the real na5.
that does sound like fun
oh dear PB ( and cookies ) for me
There is a downy woodpecker right in front of me on the suet feeder.
nice, scrabbs! :)
And black-capped chickadees on the feeder to my right.
the sounds and sights of Spring
I did as much yard work and raking as I could, between the snow piles, so I am enjoying sitting in the sun under the trees.
I love Spring
The ski resort across the valley is still open.
No snow left here and its gorgeous today
our snow is finally gone hope that's the last of it
Me too , west. Hope to see no more snow this season
winter lasted 10 years this year
We will get more snow--winter is never over when we think it is.
So true Scrabb.
summer is still going on here, its too hot!
shhh maybe it won't happen
Hi sandy loo
hi sandy
hi guys
98 to go..I am going to take a break and read the newspaper out here. Hi sandy
west, I know snow can cause problems though-but it is tooooo hot here
sandy is a chicken is a chook is a rooster a rook?
hi scrab
Bye Scabbler, enjoy the day
bye scrab read only good news
meant if* a chicken etc
lol west
around July we'll be moaning about the heat here
hi sandy
bye scrabs
Im up early 4.30am because i have to take nicky to hospital , her shoulder is out again
Sandy your place looks beautiful Ive never been down but it on my list : )
Ouch, sorry to hear that, sandyloo . . .
oh no poor thing
*It's
same old same old west (she muttered bitterly)
hope it is sorted out for her soon
how old is she?
its been a long road that's for sure and now it looks like it will be a fusion-she is 34
sorry to hear, sandy
what happened initially sandy?
my mam had to have an operation years ago as her shoulder kept dislocating. she has alot more mobility in it now
8 years its been going on- all because they gave her Tramadol as a pain killer- it caused her to have convulsions which dislocated her shoulders- one is fixed after 3 ops the other has had3 ops but not fixed
Looks like a lovely place you have, Sandy - we're on a little farm, also.
that's alot of ops
oh sandy how awful
Well, farm property - we don't use it as a farm, other than growing our own veggies and herbs. We keep a few chickens - but there spoilt, pampered pets and each has their own name! ;)
sounds heaven JC
Oh no, Sandy - that sounds awful, very sorry to hear it. :(
i hope all goes well for her and healing thoughts on the way sandy
JC its beautiful here -thank goodness, i need the peace but we are not vegans (lol) we grow our veges, eat our eggs and .......dont be alarmed JC we even eat some of our livestock!
It's nice westford, yes - quiet and peaceful out here. Makes a welcome change from London, where we both work and spend our winters.
but its all organic lol
That's too bad, Sandy . . . :(
Oh well. :/ I wish your daughter all the best, and hope something can be done to help her!!!
thanks lil and all, but we are battling on and im sure the journey will end somewhere
JC our animals have amazing lives here they are very happy and they follow me around, Im like the pied piper
Hi everyone. Hows the grid?
hi spanner...long!!
JC just read your profile have a dear friend in Tadworth Surrey is that near you?
hi, spanner
Lilli in that case I may never finish
Hi dc.
her daughter just adopted 'Charlie' from Battersea
hi dc, i love your icon, are the names in correct order from the left?
Good for her. I hope Charlie brings her much happiness
from the right, sandy
he does that!
when i was younger my best friend and i use to go to battsea on the bus. we'd either go to the park or the dogs home
*battersea
Ive never been - Im not one for busy places..
my daughter is a carer for dogs in Broome for SAFE which picks dogs up off the street and rehomes them. Some of them are in shocking condition-Di nurses them back to health and has home quite a few
But I wholeheartedly agree with rescuing animals
\ very rewarding job sandy
e got a rescue dog from battersea dogs home when i was younger but she got knocked over outside our house and killed
A couple of my chickens are rehomed battery chicks - it was a nightmare to even get them out in the sunshine
That's where my last and present dog and my cat all came from, Lilliann - Battersea.
lilli :(
it breaks your heart when a pet dies
*we, my typing has got to normal standard!!!
she was one of the best dogs we ever had. she looked just like a fox
I dont know how anyone could abuse or abandon an animal
she is a school teacher up there and some stories she tells us would give you nightmares, unfortunately our indingenous population in the North do not take care of their animals for the main part. There are many abused animals in Broome
JC did you see my question?
the only problem is that they have so many there its hard to choose isn't it jc?
No, westford - that's not what you'd call 'near' us, but it's driveable. I'm not in Surrey anymore, although we did live there (our family) for a while, when I was growing up . . . the area we were in is now part of Greater London.
how sad sandy
I did, westford - after returning to the computer.
oh I see I know part of her address is Kent
where in surrey jc?
I don't know either, spanner - nor do I understand who could buy a purebred puppy from a breeder, rather than adopt a shelter dog in desperate need of a home, when the cost of a purebred pup would cover saving the lives of a few shelter dogs.
all our chooks are rehomed battery hens- the lot we have at the moment could not even walk when we got them , and had hardly any feathers. Now they are fully feathered, laying lovely eggs (sorry jc) and wander about under blue skys and lovely shady trees
Why sorry, Sandy? My chickens lay eggs to, you know.
Erm - 'too'.
according the rspca cat site, it costs them £33 per cat to care for them
But we love eating ours jc!
Yes - I can actually type, when I put my mind to it. :P
explain battery hen please
£3oo
Yes, and so did we until fairly recently . . .
My blue (the weimeraner) was going to be put down by the breeder cause he had a hernia, and he was so beautiful, I had to have him
they are kept in tiny cages all their laying life
Eating eggs doesn't harm the chickens - only us.
oh so sad
how terrible spanner. we had a long haired weimeraner, he was gorgeous
Oh no, spanner - then he was a rescue!
They are beatiful dogs - did he have the hernia repaired?
Not so terrrible for us or Blue
it is horrible West-even when they say "free range" it means they are kept in a horrible crowded chook pen. Ours are true "free range"
Or did you, I should've said? :P
Beautiful dogs - ugh, I can't type for trying today.
Vet said he didnt need to as long as he wasnt bred from and we didnt intend to show him
looking for eggs must be like a daily Easter egg hunt
Yes, Sandy - so are ours. Free range and spoilt, HAHAHA!
Oh, it's not causing him any bother then?
I also have a very undersized black labrador callled dougie
Awww - they're beautiful also.
my son in law lol
My dog sort of resembles a very small, fine-boned version of one.
so are ours JC and we have a border collie who guards them from Brer Fox!
our neighbour has a lovely black labrador
Yes, Sandy - my dog thinks she's our chickens' protector! It's so funny and cute . . .
they were rescued JC but not because both of the breeders were paid, because I wanted the dogs rather than have them put down
Yes, I understand that spanner - and probably would've done the same!
I couldn't have standed knowing they would be put down, when it wasn't necessary! :(
So, they are two rejects... and adored and spoiled and loved. Aint life grand?!
JC We used to have a ram that would walk around the farm with my border and they would keep the chooks in a little group and herd them up. they make the chooks walk in a controlled group around the farm it was soooo funny
Fortunately yes, it is for them now! ;)
we have had dogs from the pound and two pure breds..Winston was a Springer Spaniel free to a good home because the owner was having a baby..he was the best dog with our children
I can't believe my dog wasn't wanted - or my last dog, both little mongrels I adopted from Battersea. Both wonderful, lovely and loving little girls!
they are very lucky spanner
No Lilli WE are very lucky
We had to rehome the ram because he became testosterone driven and was butting us all the time.
our other purebred was Chelsea the sweetest golden retriever our neighbor's sister's dog had a litter
Sandy I have astag turkey like that
i feel like that about my cat spanner and my one i'm hopefully getting tomorrow
Oh I love dogs - all dogs. I have a deep appreciation for the different breeds, and the only reason I wouldn't buy a purebred from a breeder, is because of how desperate the plight of shelter dogs currently is. Mongrels in shelters are far less likely to get homes than purebred puppies - so that's what I go for.
Sorry a stag
i wish i could have got him today, but i understand having the home checks
sandy what did the lady sheep have to say when the ram went away?
actually, i wanted to bring him home yesterday when i saw him
JC I have a big problem with those abandoned dogs, every time Diana comes down she brings two or three for a holiday at the farm -we have 3 dogs already- I want to keep them all
I agree JC we have also had some wonderful mongrels too
I have had a purebred dog, as a boy - my parents bought it for us from a kennel when we were on holiday, one summer. A lovely little Dachshund . . .
Lilli! you have a net kitty coming?
Yes, Sandy - I'm sure I would want to, also!
LIl -we gave away his girlfriend with him and he went to a farm with 6 more girlfriends
er new?
it's easy to see we all love animals
Most of my dogs have been rejects in some way or another, but funnily enouggh they have nearly all been called that by breeders...
Well, my two since I left my parents' home were both definite 'rejects' - mongrels nobody wanted. They've each turned out to be the best dogs I ever could've wanted! :)
Yes, westford - animals are so easy to love!
When i was up there last, one of Di's charges got sent to perth to a new home on the plane- we pathetically cried at the airport-even tho it was going to a good home
And spanner - noted what you said the last time I saw you here, and I don't know you from somewhere, do I?
They are less complicated than people. They never bear a grudge and are always pleased to see you
Precisely, spanner . . .
Their love is unconditional . . .
JC not personally, no.
Our cow is always pleased to see me, especially if i have a bucket of feed
hi red, sorry i got sidetracked by the skating
Oh, I see . . .
I'll drop you an e-mail if I may
Well you do, in that case. Shhh . . . 25th.
i'm hopefully getting a 10 year old tabby from the rescue centre red
You may . . .
i am just going to do some work on this puzzle
I am a clam LOL
Grrr - I need to finish this puzzle! :P
Good . . . *WINK!*

I think the list is necessary on this one.
I believe I have more f's than everyone
FE x 9, Fi X 5
that may help ty stid
FL x 8 and FU x 7
If you tell me which letters you are missing, I suspect you missing 5s and we can pare them down...

thanks ruru.
violent?
hey atalante!!! what was your opinion of that flick?
watchmen that is?
*loved* it
very violent
that is what I heard
bye stid

oh, I am not fond of violent movies. But happy you enjoyed it!
okay, me to head out for real (((hugs all))) see you-all again soon!
helllooooooooooooooooo everyone :D
*hugs oodles on way out* *poof*
how come superheroes don't kick AIG executive asses?
I don't really like violent movies either, but watchmen is intrinsically very violent, and they had to show it
bbye stid
do have to understand the graphic novel to follow the film?
nope
that is a film I would want to see ruru
but isn't there something out right now about banks being the evil doers?
you just need to know it's alternate 1985 ish, black is white and white is black, and Nixon is still president
really... I don't care for really violent movies
Afternoon everyone. Did babble have some red earlierorwas it just me?

wb red
QUiet - I need 14 more words but they are slow
go dr go!!!
: )
<-- is pooped from chores, shopping and fishing (yesterday). tonight is pizza night!
SPaghetti here, I think.
hi welki
Pizza night sounds good to me Welki!
its so hot any no cook item sounds perfect.
I'm alergic to wheat :-(
red, would rather whip up some linguini and clam sauce (instead of pizza), but not in the mood for the raised eyebrow :)
Oh- I am sorry Oodle.
just wheat, oodle? or other grains too?
ok ... down to 7
have to be so careful and then when I ask if wheat is in sauces they cant tell me cause they don't have the part where the ingredients are... think it is the law in the states..
Quebec is SO backwards
yes just wheat
oh no raised eyebrow. Its 84 degrees here, and a bit hot hot hot.
yes, there is a law
but I prefer it to cold cold cold.
It is about 72 here and sunny as usual
not your raised eyebrown, red ... i face raised eyebrows when i cook anything other than meat and potatoes :) ....and here, it's only hot 2 - 3 weeks of the year. when it gets above 70F, it's too hot for me
I want rain!
ohhh I thought that was a bit hot... I thought you were in the northern states but you are in Florida
me to red
* too
Yes, I am in the Southernmost part of the US, but not at mile zero.
keywest?
yes, I am not in key west. that place would drive me nuts as a permanent home.
we have warm winds that blow in over the Rockies from British Columbia; they're called Chinooks and they usually last for a day or two. They bring the temps up here temporarily, enough to melt the snow, flood the basements... but we welcome the respite from the cold :)
but where is clermont?
22 miles from Disney world...or land or whatever it is here.
which is right outside of orlando.
my dad lived in ocala, but i think that's way north of you. i do have a friend in claricona; that's close, right?
I remember those windstorms we has in seattle... one november we has sustained winds of 60mph and gusts of upward to 75-80
ge6- 1st one is my last word
Ocala is pretty close, north of us by an hour. DOnt know claircona? but Ihave only been here 9 months so far,
i am needing it too DR!
but you mentioned mile zero... I thought that was key west.. ok I'm confoooozed
k- looking
hello
Mile zero is key west. However the state of Fl is the most southern state in the US. i just dont happen to live in Mile Zero.
Hi Harp.
Hi HJ
AH _got it red
ge6 is what you put in your hair + Picnic pest
Congrats DR on firworks and thanks!!!! How is your son?
He is ok. Thanks for asking
well I would love to live there in the winter months but the summer months... no way... it's been hit so many times by hurricanes....
He is Student of the Month in his class this month
key west, yes. Where I live not so much.
Very very cool DR!
The assembly is Thursday 1 hour and 15 minutes before I have a conference call
I am abit stressed about it but hte assembly should only last 30 minutes and I can rush home and get on the call...
HE has no idea
you can do it DR, can you call in on a cell?
especially if you are on an island or a barrier island ie: Galveston
Tht is what I am thinking Red. The school is only 10 minutes from our house
Galveston Texas? yes. they are hurricane alley.
has anyone heard of that place ... any improvements?
We get a lot of heavy rain, wind but not always hurricane style.
I am not a hurricane or tornado kind of girl!
Earthquakes are much easier to deal with
that was flattened ... almost no houses... and I was wanting to know if that house that was still standing ... if it was salvageable
I have no idea, but my guess is that it wasnt. in NC there are several towns just inland that everyone just left after I think Hurrican Fran. Now ghost towns...
probably lots of mold damage
Not an earthquake girl.
DR, your son does not know he is student of the month? or that you are coming?
Both Red
oh wow. hes in for a big day.
he told me he would never get it because it is all about helping people/
I think I need the list. I have 64.
He got it for his love of reading
:D
YEs it will be a big day for him. I keep trying not to blow the secret
I will be here for a little bit if you need a clue
I think reading to me is one of t he most important skills. It always shocks me when I meet people who really can not read.
HE has latched on to it as a security- new MUCH bigger school, only a few friends-- I have almost had to say quit reading and go outside

Hello again.
hi scrab
How are you doing, oodleberry?
i'm ok... n you?
clues for the 8s and the 9 plz
Tired--I played tennis this morning, raked after lunch, cleaned one of the bunny's rooms, and just threw laundry into the washer.
em8 = pl of em7--to shine forth
bunnies?
full day... I spent a lazy day
en8= to get meshed up in, then pl for the 9
li8= compound word = li5 + not a lady
un8 = opp of kind/sweet
That is all of them, MM
ty scrabs
Oodle, I have 4 rabbits as my kids
is one of them named Pete???? ;-)
2nd ad5/14 anyone?
Nope, that is my college nephew that is here
no silly Peter as in peter cottontail
The bunnies are Miss B (Beatrix Potter), Sebastian, Tucker and Gandalf.
My brother had a rabbit named gandalf
good evening everyone - can I stop in here for a minute while I hide out from some work that is calling me elsewhere
I did have a bunny called Peter Rabbit, and one called Benjamin Bunny.
Hi JBV. How are you and your husband?
hi jbv
hi scrabbler, love those bunny names - my favorite characters
Neat, DR. Mine is Gandalf the Grey, as he is grey.
David's Gandalf was white
things are just kind of going along, scrabs, thanks for asking, his problems are on-going, he is not in danger but quality of life is very compromised
ad5 - goodbye
Aha, Gandalf in the white robe.
yes JBV ... but it IS against terms of agreement to do ANYTHING other than play Babble ANYWAY... SHEESH
TY, Chrissie!
I finished babble earlier in the day, oodle, I can clue if anyone needs...
yw scrabs
Is he comfortable, JBV?
he is taking pain medication and living with daily wound care, tubes, etc., so he is bearing up, I don't even know how
ok jbv ty
Will the wounds heal? Tubes come out?
what happened JBV if you don't mind me asking
no, that is the most discouraging thing, doctors are disagreeing about what to do next - he has had so many surgeries,a nd is still quite weak from the last one, so this is it for a while
I am so sad tho hear that JBV
complications from bladder surgery, oodle, long prior history, so recovery is difficult
Is he enjoying life despite his health issues?
ok I'm sorry to hear that
scrab? do you play scrabble?
scrabs, it's amazing to me how he strives to maintain his equilibrium through all this, yes, we try to have normal days, enjoying life's small pleasures
Wonderful for him!
tonight I have trout in the oven, we plan to have a quiet dinner, then watch one or two episodes of Mad Men, one of my favorites
Yes, Oodle, I play with friends.
are you on face book?
they have scrabble on there
Yes, I play Scrabble and Lexulous and Wordscraper on FB.
I have never signed up on facebook - babble is my only online community
oops I mean lexulous... you mean scramble?
I resist getting pulled in to the chaos of FB. I communicate with some friends and play games.
I like scramble but it is a 3 minute one of these
No, Oodle, there is Hasbro's Scrabble on FB.
do you have to pay for it?
do you know about freerice.com? it is a vocabulary game - I like it because it is about word meanings, not just spelling words - also for every answer you are contributing a grain of rice (!) to some organization
I did that in the past--I should go back.
they do other stuff on freerice as well - their french vocab game is a good way to brush up your french
Any Italian, hjst?
yes, hjst, I brush up on Spanish, French and Italian that way
oh kewel what is that site again hjst?
looks like it http://freerice.com/subjects.php?t=401 330132330
they have German, too, but I don't know German - I can take a few good guesses, but that's it
Great! TY for the info.

hi all I am back
There is Scrabble on Yahoo!, too - called 'Literati', but it's the same game, except there is no consistency to the tile distribution - each game is different!
oh-oh
Hello again, by the way - returned to try and finish the puzzle before going to bed!

I am watching DVD series from PBS--Liberty, about American Revolution. The John Adams series got me hooked.
Go tyger go!

You're doing well then, tygerbryght - have fun! :)
Hi JC

new series debuts at 8 - kings
Sears had a great sale on a treadmill very similar to the Golds Gym model I had my eye on - $250 less (but I think I'll hafta buy a service contract, which may end up with similar price in the end) :( only 90 days warranty (except motor) on this one - but it is nice
ooo I forgot to turn on the old time radio brb
later, all
Good purchase, tyger. I have started using a Nordic Trak that I bought over 15 yrs ago.
well, part of it was Xmas gift money, part is being paid by a friend. I hafta watch the pennies. my old one was a used purchase from Play It Again Sports in 1995, but it died about 5 years ago.
You are frugal like me.

I saw that one when I was googling jmc... I like it!
did you read my profile story about it?
was starry night the theme?
I need to change mine.
favorite famous art
no red lol it was classic painting
its
its just I saw this one in Paris and fell in love with it
ahhhh, i missed it. wonders about Monday.
It's beautiful, jmc . . .
I do tend to like his paintings . . .
I'll check it out jmc
it is beautiful.
it is an amaxing painting the best one by van gogh in IMHO
I have seen it several times in NYC.. it is an incredible painting.
There is one of fishing boats that is his that I feel the same way about.
do we have an impressionist theme?
I have 50 leftand da** it, I am going to the list.
if my son hadn't been hungry I would have stood there for hours
I think it may be my favorite painting
OK, need to finish this off
I also love Kadinski
it's a toss between this and Dali's my dead brother john
Kandinski is my fave painter!
That's a great story jmc! I'm glad you discovered it :-)
oh oh we agree on something
either lovegrove or the one who's name eludes me
don't panic ruru it is a large topic and plenty of room for both of you
vettriano, that's his name
also really like giacometti
hi by the way
hi evan
and ru - we have agreed before and managed to survive
hi nut
di6?
di + not early
hi all...what's all the disagreemtn about? I'm done!
TY
what the eyedoctor does to your eyes
woohoo pav!
open the eye sort of kje, and hello.
hi pav.
hi pav
hi red
hi red and jmc
yes, it was a dumb one for me to miss
don't forget its pl
I always thought it was spelled differently
hi everyone! hey dan2, are you on? no puppy cam?
it can be...
ge6?
hi lbd
the 1st one
ge+ at****ic ocean
ge + most of flame lamp for camping
hi jmc
don't be harsh be ge6 with your children
TY!
2nd la7/40?
change the last cons on the previous
how'd the laundry go?
ugh - TY
it is done... and cookies made too... and ate dinner
I had the necessity to wlk the poopies at lunchtime today and as we passed one neighbor's place being occupied by Canadiens (Canadians?) the one ge6man came out ans asked if my poopies would be doing their business on the grass (DO you bring them out on the lawn to CRAP??!!) when I said Yes, I do, but Ido have bags to pick up after them, he walked away nonplussed....and just a few moments later we walked back by him barbequeing...and I thought o myse4, "se4 , as smart as they may be, I don't know of any dog who CAN poop in the toilet, so yes I do bring them outside to do their business."
kje did you ever see the Kandinski panels at the MOMA in NYC
Yyaaay I finally finished the A's.
and had wine - which may be why I am so slow now
It's 'Canadians', PAV - unless you're saying it in French! ;)
lol pav
PAV, how odd. very unexpectedbehavior.
go red!
thanks jmc, how was your Mom today?
do they allow pets to do business on the lawns in Canada?
I was at MOMA, and trying to remember what those were ru... it has been about 7-8 years... I saw all his at the Pompidou more recently
No kidding, PAV - I know some cats can be taught to, but a dog simply wouldn't be able to!
lol Pav. some people just are odd.
I should think they would, PAV - just not other people's grass I wouldn't expect, like here.
she was fine red thanks for asking
he painted them for the entryway for some rich person in NY which were then purchased by the MOMA.. there are 4 panels.. unbelievable paintings
1st ma7?
we had indian food and then worked on a crossword
maybe he was afraid you were aiming for HIS lawn, PAV
will check them out ru - should be back up there this spring
I think as long as someone cleans up, its no big deal, but sometimes my poor pup has a sensitive stomach and cleaning up is errr, difficult.
sea creature in Florida often thought of as mermaids
I am a bit jealous...
of the indian food.
the ma7 love cabbage
actually the poop is good for the lawn
jealous of the indian food?
and then I thought, well we don't allow our pets to be left on the patios, most of which are cemented in, and I certainly don't like it when they leave me presents indoors (knocks on wood - preferably maple)
Actually, I have kerb trained my dog, so she goes there if we're walking on the pavement. I then pick it up any solid waste with plastic bags and deposit it in the nearest rubbish receptacle.
depends on what the dog has been eating...as to how good it is for the lawn.
it stinks to step in poop though.
they do? who do?
Erm, no jmc - it attracts other dogs to come along and do the same thing. And yes red - who wants that on their front garden? Not me, thank you . . .
pav has smaller dogs.. we aren't talking huge poops here
so true I get annoyed if neighbors leave presents
look a little further back kje
Doesn't matter, ruru - I still wouldn't want them on my grass!
I think its best to clean up after ones self, unless you live rurally.
one neighbor would let their do g its business right in front of my sons playhouse!
its the law in most cities now
Disgusting - they shouldn't be allowed to let their dogs foul on your grass at all!
I always clean up after our dogs on walks..
There are laws against that here . . .
being the Board of Directors for our condo assoc, I am obliged to uphold all our rules ...I just fe4 odd when he asked, as if it wasn't common...or they didn't know
ah - ty had missed that
Yes, same here ruru - but then you have to, here.
sea cows
Yes jmc - quite.
yes sea cows.. they are so cute
I thought sea lions were sea cows?
They are, ruru . . .
nope ma7 are sea cows...
10
No, jmc . . .
need one more G - have ge x 10, gl x 3, gn x 2
go kje
and yes, we are quite upset when we come across others' messes left wherever, even when I went to Albuq (approaching three months of not speaking with nasty bro)
they are... we have them here in the aquarium... fun
ge6 perhaps?
11 ge
11 ge
I have a photo of a ma7 on my fire ma6 next to my son who was so large when he was born we called him our little ma7
safer there than in florida i'll bet
3 ge 6
like the icon BR : )
We love our ma*****s. we do.
ruru, not to bring up a sore subject if it is, but how's your puppy coming along?
thanks, BR, ru, PAV - have 2 ge6, will look for the 3rd
so many of them get hurt by speed boats

go JC go!
what do you neeD?
Yes, stidmama - it's your screen resolution setting.
Would have to guide you through setting it . . .
thanks stud
yup
and the 7 before it is unpluralized
The last four li words I'm working on now, stid . . .
Oh no, I have one of them.
Not sure where it fits, though.
untruths
ah yes, much better. THanks.
That's the one I have, TS . . .
But thanks!
there are the falsehoods
and then the in li** of doing the other thing, and plural
not death but...
its opp
Yes - have that one. It's three of them I need, I realised - not four.
and the final li 4 is opposite death
ah, stud is faster than I am!
Oh my god - I am smacking myself now!!!
and then, i sent a letter in l4 of attending in person
and then the plural of it
LOL *hands JC a fish*
(it's totally guilt based stid
The last li5 . . .
i got so many i must givith forth
It had better be a rubber one, stid . . . ;)
the last Li 5 is plural
Or an artifical one, at any rate . . .
did you get the letter clue jc?
hi all.
would love a clue for the left side U...
please send a donation in L4 of a gift
then plural
no no JC, real Pacific NW salmon. Don't worry, they just need a bit of space...
hello jbp!
Erm, what was that? I couldn't pluralise the word before . . .
now what JC>
howdy do jbp
It didn't work!
quite the grid
so ren, how is the mez today?
I am so confused . . .
indeed jbp, not as easy as some, but generally nice if large
which one JC?
better - we've been playing yahtzee and laffing
oh I just got the not pretties one
howz the hip stid?
oh, that sounds good! tell him hello for me
alrighty, if stid is here to clue, i shall go to bed...
stud, sweet dreams!!!
have a wonderful rest of evening (day) everyone
((((((()))))))s to all
Ooh, just found the last one . . .
he said hey stid and he very glad to be among the living
ty :)
Of the li section - need the li5 above it now . . .
**poof**
the hip is painful. Was better yesterday morning and so I decided to clear out the car before driving up to see raelite and ... well. The children are paying for not doing it when I asked them!
Good night, stud . . .
Sweet dreams to you!
li 5 is single li 6.
*hands JC blue whale*
ouch ouch ouch -
No, stid - not that li5, the last one.
anyway, I am taking LOTS of ibuprofen and boosting with acetaminophen until the pain is manageable again.
li5,12 . . .
the last li 5 is plural in li** of
Oh dear - sorry to hear it's that bad, stid! :(
*offers JC blue whale again*
Hmmm?
ah well, at least I don't have a job where I have to walk. I can sit and let li4 pass me by.
hi again everyone, I hope you are taking food with that ibroprophen stid
you know, BIG fish.
hello again sandy!
hey ya sandy
the funny thing about ibuprofen is that I have taken it regularly and in large quantities for over 20 years and it never bothered me beyond a bit of tinnitus.
aw. im sorry. i had to take a loritab yesterday because i had unmanagable ear pain. it's almost never that bad, but needless to say i can't remember yesterday afternoon
Back from the hospital, nicky is admitted again and so it goes....
When the ortho suggested a diff med instead, I tried it and for the FIRST time had stomach issues even though I took it correctly!
((sandy)) I was going to ask. Is she in much pain?
So I am back to ibuprofen which doesn't bother me even on an empty stomach.
oh madi, I am sorry. is the ear better now?
ibuprofen makes me sleepy - i love it
stid, nicky can't take those meds any more they gave her an ulcer
lovely aurora borealis, madi!
well this is the 5 ear infection in 6 months, but i am feeling better
Oh my god - sorry stid, I had two words in the wrong order, that's how tired I am! :(
I have them all in that section now . . .
Thank you for the clues - sorry to be such a nitwit!
thanks stid
it's okay JC -- you should probably let this grid to and get some shut-eye
Well, stid - I've spent so much time on it now, I don't want that to go to waste!
so that is bad for her condition- but once again they were recommended by the doctor- I never take any tablets-i have become paranoid
Not when I only have 32 words left . . .
experience is never wasted JC.
so, what are we looking for?
JC Keep going! need clues?
LOL sandy!
Yes please, Sandy . . . I'm working on the ma section now, but I have a lot of them, so first I'm filling those in.
the first ma looks dutch to me.
em7?
ma 7/32 big fat sea creatures found in Florida and off the coast of west australia!
I have that already, Sandy - but thanks!
em7 sound em****** from speakers or loud babies
em 7: radiates, the love that em8 from a child is palpable
I have most of them - I'll let you know what I don't have once I finish entering them in the list. ;)
lol stid I see we think about babies differently
going back to the apprentice me beauties
ty : )
ARRR avast! see ye later, pegleg! hoist the mainsail! strike the mizzen!
JC In WA the aboriginals are allowed to hunt them because they were part of their ancestors diets!
well, i have to go. Got to pick out cloths for my grandpa's funeral tomorrow
well other things also em 7 from infants... LOL
(((madi))) sorry to hear of that. be well.
true, but I never mention that area of life , stid
I didn't know that ma 7 were also in australia! wow...
see I keep telling Tom that this game is educational!
thanks. nighty night. feel better stid
sorry about your grandpa madi, how old was he?
thanks madi, I will!
We call them dugongs here stid. I have seen them in Florida though
Wow - only one ma word I don't have now . . .
The last ma7,32 . . .
Fifth from the bottom of that section . . .
Yes, I've heard/seen them called that also, Sandy . . .
They're cute!
well done ma 7 is the thing in the middle of a gas light
plural
Ugh . . .
JC, remember to always try to plural everything when there is an S in the grid.
and try to past tense everything when there are ED side-by-side
Yes stid, I do that . . .
My daughter, Diana who lives in Broome and is a school teacher has been taken by the aboriginals when they hunted turtles and dugongs (that is an honor) she is a very strict vegetarian since 10 years old- and she was appalled but couldnt show it
I just can't think of any word for something in the middle of a gas light - having trouble thinking at all! :P
I could never do it, Sandy . . .
JC. it's a homophone for the ledge above a fireplace
they cooked the dugong and gave her a piece and she had to pretend to eat it
and an anagram, as well!
I wouldn't, there is no way. I couldn't witness that . . .
I dont think they should be allowed to kill them
Of course not - animals aren't food for us, so it's needless.
Oh - OK stid, trying . . .
Hmmm . . . not working.
keep going on the grid jc, dont be distracted or time will run out....tick tick tick
I agree with the not killing sentiment, but I also understand the important of ancestral ways to people whose culture was systematically suppressed and almost eradicated.
looking for last MA 7, right?
Maybe I have them in the wrong order again . . .
Could be - anything's possible at this point, HAHAHA!
JC are you using lickety's list?
Oh yes, there we go . . .
Yes, stid . . .
it will automatically enter things in the right place for you.
tick....tick
It doesn't enter anything automatically for me?
Or perhaps I don't know how to do that?
I've been typing the words in . . .
enter it from the top and it will put it in
yes, at the top is a box for entering. If you have lickety's browser then you don't even need to do that.
Evening everyone! May I please have clues for ma6-27 the 1st and ma6-27 the 4th? Thanks
hello peach!!!
What is 'Bulk Add/Grab'?
is lickety's browser 'babble expert'
Hello, peach . . .
Hi there, stidmama, how you doin?
ma6/27 plural of canine skin disease
ma 6/27 the first is ma* (person) + opposite of id **o + silent vowel
i dont understand that bulk grab thing, its too technical for me ....tick...tick
Hi there, J.C.
oohhh, didn't have that one -- a french carousel!
ma the 4th is to mutilate -- like the fireplace ma6 with a 3 pt in 4th position
whoever sent me babble expert , I have thanked them everyday since!
what is babble expert!?
I have those, yes . . .
bulk add is you highlight all the words in the babble word list, "copy" and then paste them into lickety.
the other bulk feature is the opposite. speeds up entry
I dont know where it came from but its great! Everything is on the same page,
babble expert is lickety's amended internet explorer browser. quite nice.
... how do i find that??
Stidmama? See the other window for a moment, please?
someone sent it to me in an email
so i cant tell you how to get it
hmmm. i'll investigate! : )
email Lickety to get a copy...
JC, wonderful bio and pic! And will definitely try your recipe!
I think JC is struggling abit...
maybe try to google it
only works on PC's (not Macs)
bon soir chere Une!
hi all...
hello again pini!
That
okayyy
bonsoir, stid!
thats because it IS a struggle
Thanks everyone.
Oh thank you, Uneaixoise! How did you come up with that screen name, by the way? :)
li8?
HAHAHA, yes I am stidmama - struggling with my brain being half-asleep at the moment . . .
Elle est la dame (from) Aix...
when I took my first internet class -- 1995! -- they told us to pick a screen name no one would ever guess
li6/24 + male
li 8 is compound, li 5 (sovereign?) + person
Oh . . . d'abord je n'avais pas compris, mais maintenant j'y suis! ;) Merci . . .
thank you
I lived in Aix-en-Provence for awhile and went to school there . . . and married an Aixois so . . . .
I see!
or li5/14 + male
le5?
oohhh, il parle bien le francais M JC!
sandy to the pb
ha! I knew JC would like that!
. . . said the blind man to his deaf son, and the deaf son said 'I hear you.' :P I remember someone telling me that years ago, it's silly!
le 5: dumb english plural on latin "law"
what!!! oh no!!!
I live acrosss the channel from that country . . .
yes, i know :-)
what your knees are in + two-letter plural
pinikula = skype
thx stid
Hhhhhhi
le5/14:the plural of *** Luther from superman Pinikula
is it off again, pa?
Oh god - I have only one me word!
hello again Min!
hi herin, have you got that dress yet?
hello pa!
is it me6? related to the brain?
Yes. Target. On special
the first three me all have same first 4 letters
yes
the middle me 5 is a woman's period in the singular
Thanks, stid . . .
the last me 6 is another word for "brain-thought related" and the last me 5 is the 6 with one less letter
Oh yes - already have that.
hello lady!

Thanks unie

If i was in Melbourne , i would take herin out to lunch

do you have the plural une?
un6 - become unstuck, omit the l
no . . .
Yah Sandy
un 6/30: un + you stick paper together with *l** + plural letter
hello flosey! much better clue
un + if you dont know just ****s at it
Sandy is 2 hours behind 3 in a couple of weeks. Hey Sandy would you like me to tell your future (since im iin it)

pini - do you have the total of your additions
when you add things together you have su** pini

su4 light source in the sky with double consonant
JC read my 10.04 entry
su 4,5 - su + which clue do you need n*x*?
finished with the SU's now, thx to ew, flosey, and monkeys
su - animal fat used in mincemeat
haha my clues are LAME!
good
Erm, not funny, Sandy! :P
*Stifles laughter.*
sorry....i couldn't help it
don't think that way ewaugh, you never know how one will take clues
got them pini?
lol i just don't know what a lot of the words mean.. but i'm learning!
darn it, i'm fading with 23 left to go...
Bet my clues are lamer, ewaugh . . . some have been, anyway!
te4/4?
us5/12?
lol, many of us don't have the meaning - just monkey them
te + do re mi fa sol **
te4/4 te+consonant + first vowel
I have 27 left - doubting I'll finish.
us and don't come ***r me please
une's is better
ask for clues jc
thx for the te
well im going to wander off again. Have a good day everyone
don't take the clue personally though
thx flosey sm
take care herin
sm5/12?
Ill see you all after flip. Will do Sandy
I'm stuck on the 'me' section now - I have the first two of those, then I have one more but am not sure where it fits . . .
sm s + **** vinegar
danke
Ooh, found another . . .
jc...are you using lickety's list???
That sm 5/12 word is s plus ma**ed milk balls Pinikula.
have you got me5 which is a me*** to and end and before it comes the singular
Yes, Pini - why?
me + picnic insect
why not let the dumps update it for you?
What's that?
My copy and paste doesn't work on the web at the moment for some reason - some codecs I installed then uninstalled has bolloxed that up. So that won't work for me, . . .
remember the club "densa" that will help with me5/12
I must get this computer seen to, soon . . .
you can copy your Word List in Babble and dump all of them into Lickety's list (see large box at bottom)
oh... in that case, nm
I have all but the last three 'me' words . . .
me6/21 you get in a bit of a me**** state when you are trying to finish this
So it seems, anyway. I could have something in the wrong place, but don't think so . . .
last me6/21 = brainy
or me**** case
then take last consonant off for me5/12
thx sandy
May I please have a clue for ne5-16? Thanks
didn't get the ne5/16 earlier...reclue plz?
ne + astronaut *** Grissom
I have all but the last me word now . . .

pini se + a sticky substance without the consonant
se5/16 that was
oops LOL . . . GO, jc!
thx
Here is a clue paragraph for non-finishers. I am very an 4/4 when it comes to proper English. I fe 4/7 like everyone should know how to speak correct English. I've always fe4/7 this way,probably ever since I was in the fe5/16 position.I'd like to think that all the an 5/14s up in heaven use correct grammar. I'm an ESL teacher so I look at an5/14.Unfortunately there are many people who ca 4/5 speak proper English.I have a friend and her na4/5 is An 4/4 uses terrible English and I always correct her.She always gets very angry and says to me, "da4/7 girl! Not everyone is perfect at English like you! You are so me 4/5 correcting me all the time!You're such an an 4/5!" I think she would like to knock me fl 4/7 sometimes. But I'm still gl 4/7 she is my friend.One time I cancelled a da 4/5 with a ge 4/6 because his grammar but I went on plenty of other da5/12 with ma 5/12 who's grammar was good I learned la4/4 in li4/7,grammar usage isn't the most important thing in the world. I've also learned to be more ge6/24 about criticizing other's grammar.So in li 4/5 of correcting people I just grin and bare it. My current ma 4/5 uses bad English, but I love him.So to all those who use correct grammar,I raise my gl5/14 to you with gl4/6. My ta 4/4 is finally done and now I am putting myse4/7 to bed.Goodnight to all babblers!
Trying to, Uneaixoise - really I am! ;)
same here

Well yes, Jill - and in fact, I used to use the name 'Gillian' for a silly comedy act many years ago.
Not sure what you mean by saying you're a Taurus too, though?

Leaves . . .
on the cusp, perhaps, which may account for poofterism, lol?
Well - leaves or pods.

Third and fourth 'su4' words and one of the last two su6's - only couldn't tell you which one at the moment . . .
Oh, think I have the first three now . . .
I should think you have the pudding, the additions, and the past tense of the musical effort.
Yes, those I do have . . .
the others are all what shines in the sky with a dbl last letter + a vowel and then a pl
And one other 'su' word - a 5.
two diff shiny things
I only have one like that . . .
And can't find any others by monkeying!
Oh thanks - got one more!
Missing one 'su4' word now . . .

I have all the su5's, thank you . . .
I am only missing one su4 word . . .

Oh DUH!!!

Only 8 left . . .
Thanks much, nrkii.
fl5 - those pesky things that buzz around if you don't have screens
ta words -- you have the story and its pl?
after those, change the last vowel of the story
I just found two more of them, Jill - filling them in.
can't help, jc, if I don't know what you need
I know - but I'm not sure what I need until I fill in what I have, as I have a few of them already. So I'm entering them in the list . . .
attaboy, jc
OK - I am missing three ta4 words, and the 6 and 7, and a 5 . . .
It looks like I have the first three . . .

Yes, Jill - and I just found the 6 and 7! :)
and the first 4 letters of the 6 and 7?
and its pl
So, I just need the 4 after the Scottish hats, then the last ta word - the 4 .
May I please have a clue for fu5-22? Thanks.
I just found the ta6 and ta7 words, yes . . .
that's the first 4 letters pf the 6 & 7
The very LAST 'ta' word, Jill? How can it be?
and the last ta word is t + donkey ;)
And no - I have another after the Scottish hats, before the one that's the first four letters of the 6 & 7 . . .
Unless I'm missing the one BEFORE the Scottish hats?
Oh, thank you . . .
Just missing that one now . . .
I think that's the one you're missing -- clued it before -- the story with a diff last vowel
The ta4 - before the Scottish hats?
Oh thank you, Jill - got it!!! :)

Need the second/last 'te' word now, please?

Found it . . .

Oh no - I have them all filled in, on the list!
So I don't know which is missing - not easy to see.

BabbleExpert puts everything on one page and has a box called Lickety Add, which if you enter one word it automatically goes to the list, and if you enter more than one word it goes to the chat. Plus "Resources" where you can find Morewords and such
Oh found it - it's the fe word after the cheeses . . .
JC, look at the tiles under the grid -- does that show a box not greyed?
Either right after or before it - think it's after though?
Which section, Jill?
fe4/8 after the cheeses is fe + you and me
Oh, I have that word . . .
Must be the one before it?

Thank you all who clued me so helpfully! ;)

You all did a splendid job - and I thank you all gratefully!!!
Poor Mike!

Going to make a cup of Earl Grey - and I'll drink it here. Then I'm off to bed - back in a few minutes (putting the kettle on).

Can I have a cup too, please JC? I am also sleepless in UK.
May I please have a clue for la6-21 and la7-40 the 2nd? Thanks
don't go yet, JC!!! Here's what I posted about Babble Expert:

Ooh, I love Earl Grey too.
la**** and gentlemen!
I'd normally have lemon with Earl Grey but it'll give me heartburn at this time of the morn. I'd better have it with a little milk, awful thing to do to EG, I know.
Thank you for that, flosey.
hijac(k)

yw peach
Got it, thanks much.
2nd la7/40 = same as first but change laster letter to rhyme with a song done by a twosome.

Hi jilli.

that il5 is just sitting there, mocking me....anyone have a clue...please.
Jilli, what a great postcard story!
he may just be out making his tea
Yes, Jill - I have soy milk in my tea.
Thank you Jacula.
Waiting for the kettle . . .

Sorry, Jill - I had run out to the kitchen!
I will scroll back now . . .
JC -- about BabbleExpert
you may as well stay up now jc and do the next one
thanks, sandy!
Thanks again, Jacula.
y/w gapeach.
Jill - you have my e-mail address, don't you?
If I ever miss anything important you say here, somehow, you could paste it into an e-mail . . .
But I'll try not to, of course! ;)
sandyloo - he'll feel like hell later if he does that.
did you find it, JC?
Ugh - now Valerie wants outside, so I'll be back in a bit again (I'm only a doorperson for the dog and cat). :P
does anyone have li8 ?
no1 do you have the li5 before it?
A vassal or a follower or serf, no1mike.

Add the opposite to a grown female to the end of the li5.14 before it.

Morning all. Sleepless in Essex here.
Hello Frances
There's a lot of it about in UK today, Frances. Hello.
jac -- very funny icon!
Hi Jac and jilli. Are you well?
I'm not, Frances. Have picked up a mutated version of Other Half's lurgy.
Fine, thanks, frances. Do you have Tim Horton's in the UK?
(Not to mention the night sweats!) Still, mustn't grumble. LOL!
sorry about that, jac. Lurgy????
Poor you Jac. You'll excuse me if I stand well back then.
Oh course, Frances. I'd do the same myself. Well, I did, but it didn't work, since we share a room.
As in Al Lurgy?
May I please have a clue for da4-6 the 1st? Thanks
Jilli - no it was left over from favourite beverage day - coffee.
Jilli - 'the dreaded lurgy/lurgey' - a nasty bug or virus. In this case, a cold/flu thing.
I see, lol!
I'm back - with tea and a little sandwich I made.
gap - da4/6 = da** & blast it! A curse.
Hi again J.C. What's on the sandwich?
JC, I emailed you about Babble Expert -- gave up on your seeing it here, lol
Jac, first time for a few years that I've escaped the dreaded. Feeling a bit smug. Hope I don't live to regret it.
Hope it's not Marmite, JC
In, Jacula - veggie 'balogna' and veggie 'cheese'.
With some mustard . . .
No, Jill - I have that on toast! ;)
Thanks, Jacula.....only 5 left.
Love marmite. Hi J.C.
Yuk to Marmite (and I've tried and tried!)
I did see it all, Jill - and thank you. I scrolled back to find and read it. ;)
Frances - you'll probably get a summer cold instead. LOL
I love Marmite - but admit it's an acquired taste, to anyone who isn't British! ;)
I love marmite!
gogogo peach!!!
Yes, Jacula and Frances - I love it as well!
Not keen on veggie cheese though. Sorry!
Well, I wouldn't eat the real thing, so I stick with this - there are good and bad ones, though . . .
Marmite on Ryvita or Marmite on toast. Yum!
I am/was British, but couldn't acquire it. Bloater paste, though...yum
vegemite is better
Other Half hates Marmite.
As with soy milk, all are not created equally well . . .
Bloater paste - YUCK!
Thanks Jac. You mean if it thebrain doesn't stop my cricket, the dreaded will?
No, Sandy - Marmite is better! ;)
Here we go again with the Aussie Vegemite adoration
an5-10 the 1st please? Thanks
We'll start an English-Austrailan 'war' over Marmite/Vegemite in a minute, HAHAHA! ;)
HAHAHA, Jill . . .
It's old hat here, JC
I love certain brands of flavoured soya milk but hate plain soya milk. I used to have to give 'wysoy' the baby formula version to my son and it tasted and smelled like warm chip fat.
A yearly report or book, peach? Like an uptight person or a body orifice, only with a double consonant . . .
Oh yuk Jac.
Eww, Jacula - not pleasant!
jc i have tasted english marmite, it is better that what we get in Aus which is sickly sweet -but you cant have vegemite being a vegan
what's unvegan about vegemite?
Oh, well I wasn't sure what's in Vegemite, Sandy - I've been in Australia, but that was years ago, before I was concerned about such things. Yes - what's unvegan about it?
Thanks, J.C.
vegemite is made with meat stock isn't it?
I didn't think it was?
I must try vegemite some time. They do sell it here.
I know Bovril is - which is why I don't have that.
No its not its made of Yeast
as is Marmite
Wyy is it called VEGImite if made with meat stock?
I am fairly certain as with our Marmite, that Vegemite is from brewer's yeast extract - and contains not meat.
Yes Jac Waitrose sell it.
Hence the name - as Frances has just said. ;)
i always thought it was made from some sort of beef as well, but i have run out and cant read the label i will check up on it
brb...
Hi. Vegimite is made of YEAST
'Contains no meat,' sorry - please pardon my typing!
No, sandy, it's made from yeast extract left over from brewing beer, and veg and spice additives.
a friend from new zealand told me vegemite is fermented yeast stuff?
Hi infernal.
Then it's like our Marmite, herein . . .
http://www.vegemite.com.au/vegemite/pa ge?PagecRef=1
and no beefy things in it herin? but it is very yummy
and its Kosher too :D
It must be just the same as Marmite . . .
doesn't taste like marmite, at all
i think it's gross
I don't worry about kosher - I'm not Jewish. ;) I was raised Catholic . . .
what smile, vegemite or marmite
I don't consider myself affiliated with any religion now, though.
J.C. if you nare a marmite lover vegimite just isn't the same.
vegemite
just the smell made me almost bafr
Marmite is also the same. It was Bovril that used to be made with beef extract.
lol our us relatives cant understand the bond we aussies have with it
i mean barf
I see, Frances . . .
I've always stuck with myi Marmite - I love it. :)
when it flips ill tell you
Aaah that must be where im confused - i like bovril drinks too
