12:32 am

Hi everyone, late flip for me...

12:32 am

to lose a child that young must be terrible to deal with

12:33 am

hello cj!

12:33 am

hi cj

12:34 am

I'm sorry to hear about such a tragedy Nonnie

12:34 am

hi cj

12:34 am

12:34 am

every mothers worst fear, 2 of my freinds have lost young children, 1 to brain cancer and 1 to leukaemia, thats over 20 years ago but their loss is always there

12:34 am

Thank you, cj.

12:34 am

yup

12:34 am

Hi cj

about 10 years ago neighbors lost both of their children in a car wreck; daughter had picked up younger brother at school, was stopped to turn into addition and a semi literally ran over them

12:35 am

Sorry to hear, Andree and you're right. I don't think it ever goes away.

12:35 am

Oh my gosh, dee...how sad!

12:35 am

I could not imagine that and I'm sure that does stay with you forever

our entire neighborhood was devastated... they ended up moving... couldn't stand staying in house...

but their church and friends rallied around them, and they managed to get up every day, managed to stay married, but impacted forever, for sure

12:37 am

that pain in your heart would stay on till the day you die

so true

12:37 am

such sadness

12:37 am

Staying married is a huge accomplishment when something like that happens. It usually tears couples apart.

12:38 am

I've heard that before

for sure

12:38 am

lol, nonnie staying married is a huge accomplishment these days

12:38 am

that is also true Andree

12:38 am

Semi-lurking while trying to get going on the day.... YAY JILLI!

Hi there!

Can you clue the lower right E?

1:58 am

Love to see your cheery face :)

Awww, thanks!

1:58 am

It's good to "see" you too!

Ah, thanks!

1:59 am

2:01 am

and I should head for bed now too...

2:03 am

goodnight, anyone here, and have a good day, those over there -- *poof*

Laptop spontaneously dropped off th enetwork! It's been doing that lately. Sigh. BYE JILLI!

Oooh, found the 8!

Hello!

Hanging in there. Gearing up to take the dog to the woods and then get dug in looking for work. You?

ok I am going to ahve to go sorry

I'll survive the chat lonliness somehow! Have a good oine!

SOrry hun. I have to go and book flights and teh guy on the phone to lazy to do his job

No worries! I'll be out of here soon myself. Good luck with the bookings!

2:26 am

morning all

Hi Sprite!!!

2:27 am

hey MonkeyG

How's things?

2:27 am

lol I see most people are already done

Several just went to bed without finishing, I think...

2:28 am

We are going to pick up our puppy today

YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Saskia has been playing lately with a tiny mote of a King Charles pup and it makes me think of you.

2:29 am

so sweet, I asked Caya's teacher if she could be allowed to leave school 30 minutes early today, so she can come too. And he agreed, saying we never ask for favours.

2:30 am

they are immensely cute, aren't they

Awww, that's nice! I'm so glad she gets to come too!

2:31 am

now it is as it should be, the whole family picking up the new member :)

Yes indeed!

HI Sprite YAHHHHHHHHHH

2:32 am

hehehe hi lady, yes the waiting is over :)

I wish I'd stop entering tries from greyed-out letters...

2:33 am

nah just go on, you never know what other words you find in the process

And my phantom of the day is HUGE, two words, and driving me nuts: bowhead whale

There are 60 words in this grid. They are fun. The other 22 aren't real.

2:34 am

for some weird reason I keep seeing Beowulf

Not weird at all.

monkey - i can vouch that there are at least 66 words in this grid

also hi everyone - back for another go

2:34 am

well, have you said hello?

2:34 am

ah, so you say, josh, so you say. It still remains to be proven by an outside expert.

Oh, when you notice the mathematician, don't discount him as proper-- he works!

2:35 am

of course, BabbleRabble. Well mannered as ever :) And it is good to see you, hello to you too.

2:35 am

another grid so easy my pet rock rolled its eyes

Speak for yourself! Sigh. Still, I'm not at my best lately, I admit it. And I can't find my pet rock.

2:36 am

ah now we know your secret, BabbleRabble. We have to make do with monkeys. You have a pet rock!

Lots of Dutch words today, but so far only one or two work...

2:37 am

I like the icon. Food for thought. Or should I say drink for thought?

2:37 am

oh no, I have been outed

sorry im flitting back n forth

2:38 am

don't worry lady, it is one of the things I recognise you by ;)

2:39 am

MonkeyG, how about Febo!

2:39 am

the largest word is a clippety clop

Good one!

2:40 am

would that be a clippety clop compound?

Yes, found that one!

It would, Sprite.

2:40 am

thanks babblerabble!

2:41 am

those are always my undoing. Ok, here I go making combinations...

Sprite, one of the Dutch words is from the bottom right E.

2:41 am

yup and that one is valid

Yesit is.

The A's are my downfall sofar today.

And now the space bar seems to be ill again...

2:43 am

I like your icon, kangabrat -- I see a malaise that has my pet rock in a frump over

2:43 am

why, thanks again BR : )

2:44 am

lol

OK, well, I'm still not breaking that 60; the sun is shining and i think I'll take this dog to them woods for a run.

2:44 am

thanks BabbleRabble, got the clippety clop

2:44 am

Have fun everyone!

3:16 am

wb again lady

I was dealing with the booking people for my flights and had to deal with a complete moron

3:17 am

sounds frustrating

very but its done now. The guy didn't want to do his job

Saved us $30 but if we were to fly with this co then we would have been up for about $500 instead of $360

3:21 am

where you off to?

Hobart at christmas. Note CHristmas and they are charging this amount

3:23 am

feckless

Babbs is it getting better?

3:23 am

I actually have been reading about it in the world news. I do read Yahoo news

3:25 am

congrats, sprite

3:25 am

you are very close to the sin bin with that last word, lady ;)

3:26 am

I am dry quite far from the river but it there is a breach who knows

3:26 am

sorry, last but one word

It is a worry

3:27 am

ok, no breaches allowed then. And remember it will take some time to get the canoe to your roof

ANd the hammock

3:27 am

I would just dive from the roof to access the canoe

3:28 am

*reminds self to bring some cushions*

3:28 am

ok, must be off, busy day ahead. Have fun all and take care.

3:29 am

7:29 am

wanted to get a puppy but I can't have one in the apt'ment where I'm living... I can have a cat but I am not a cat person

7:30 am

a dog in an apartment is not fair for the person and especially not fair for a dog

7:30 am

is that because someone was found with an over abundance of dogs and or cats like about 9 or 10... of each maybe?

7:30 am

though..those minature dogs may work.you dont have to take them for walks,just hold them out a open window and squeeze;))

Hi everyone. I'm back to find my last 18 words

hi Ata

7:57 am

Looks like Jacq is conjugating verbs

7:57 am

jacq that looked like a Latin declension

7:58 am

if jacq knew what conjugating meant she might agree, and if she knew what a verb was she would probably say you were right

7:58 am

Declension is a big word, jwr.

7:58 am

verb tenses for a ballpoint pen?

7:59 am

I dont like flying either scrab

7:59 am

Actually I enjoy flying, looking out the window, but the idea of crashing is what freaks me out.

12:12 pm

12:18 pm

Hi, kids! Just finished this pup. Anyone need clues?

12:18 pm

Hi Judi, congrats !! Im ok thanks finished it earlier

12:19 pm

Hi Judi, I just discovered babble last night. I'm learning.

12:20 pm

Welcome to babbleland quail, I hope you enjoy it, ask if you have any questions

12:20 pm

clue please for no5/20

12:21 pm

Compound word, negative plus a question

12:21 pm

ty,

12:21 pm

yw

12:22 pm

thanks

12:23 pm

quail the trouble with this game is that you get addicted!!

12:24 pm

I can tell already.

12:24 pm

LOL

12:24 pm

yes, and it doesn't take long for the addiction to set in! ;p

12:25 pm

That is so true rbud

12:27 pm

No5/20: would never happen. ever ever.

12:27 pm

LOL Judi

12:28 pm

2 to go

12:28 pm

Go cherly Go !

12:28 pm

Sorry for the lag. I was playing with my new IPod Touch. Waaaaay toooo coool for me.

12:29 pm

Oh No , 2 addictions now !

12:30 pm

I'm afraid so, caitlyn. And both at the same time! Thank God I don't have ADD!

12:30 pm

rofl

12:31 pm

my 7yr old granddaughter does have ADD - it's no joke.

12:32 pm

I have it too, words, no offence was meant I am sure

12:32 pm

We are not laughing at ADD words, we were joking about Judi getting addicted to 2 games

12:34 pm

it's ok - I didn't mean that I was offended! I just sometimes feel that not enough is known about the condition & the child can be wrongly labelled/ and other children of that age are not sympathetic.

12:36 pm

A family I know has 2 children with it, I agree there is not enough research they tend to just treat with drugs, which isnt enough

12:37 pm

had to teach my kids to stop think and act something that alot of kids need to do, not just ones with adhd

12:38 pm

They use the terms ADD and ADHD a lot these days. When I was young, it was "fidgety" or "bored" and they would find something for a kid to do. Like chores! lol

12:38 pm

I agree, meds arent the only answer, takes patience, and teaching or redirecting

12:38 pm

my elder granddaughter doesn't have it - we're waiting to see if their 21mth old brother shows signs of it.

12:38 pm

didnt find out I had it till found out my kids did

12:39 pm

I agree with all three of you

12:39 pm

I just fidgeted my way through school lol

12:39 pm

how does it manifest itself with you cherly?

12:39 pm

But you are coping well cherly

12:40 pm

mostly fidgeting and impulsiveness

12:40 pm

yep, have done well, though layed off right now

12:40 pm

going to try to go back to school to be a teacher

12:41 pm

so I can work with add kids

12:41 pm

Well done that is fantastic, what a great role model you will be

12:41 pm

that's a brilliant idea - these kids need someone teaching them who can identify with them.

12:42 pm

yeah, well my kids both have add, son also a little dyslexic so hopefully I have learned something I can pass on

12:43 pm

I once worked with a school supt. who was diagnosed with ADD after he became supt. He was very understanding of ADD kids.

12:44 pm

our town has a little grade school, two and three class levels together in one room. Our son got bored the 3rd year he heard the same things, and the trouble with him started. They were not at ALL understanding.

12:44 pm

All it needs are people like you cherly and the supt that quail new , perhaps then the way foward will be clearer

12:45 pm

that happens in big schools too rbud

12:46 pm

once had a teacher tell me she had the perfect class till my son came to her school

12:46 pm

Time for me to cook now, see you all tomorrow Good luck quail

12:46 pm

my daughters teacher was just out of school and didnt know girls could have add, she put 4 at the same table all with add

12:47 pm

they have no patience with kids who "act out" any more, they want them all to be good little students. Bye, caitlyn!

12:47 pm

by caitlyn, nice talking to you

12:48 pm

I'll bet that table of 4 was quite the handful, cherlyg!

12:48 pm

thing is kids with add usually have a good iq they just learn difffernt

12:48 pm

yep

12:48 pm

differetn

12:48 pm

cant type

12:49 pm

I am going to put my daughter in a charter school next year with hands on type teaching and see how she does

12:50 pm

thanks for sharing all your experiences - it's quite amazing how many sufferers there are.

12:50 pm

yes, our son is very intelligent, but was never reallly challenged, so he started to think of ways to cause trouble instead.

12:51 pm

yep, my son was same way

12:51 pm

good idea, cherlyq, hope your daughter does well!

12:52 pm

can someone help with the of 5? i am lost. thanks

12:52 pm

never mind. usung the wrong of. sorry

12:52 pm

thats ok we are of5 lost around here

12:53 pm

lol!

12:53 pm

Just remind your kids that they shouldn't lower their sight because others try to limit their futures. My brother was told he had an IQ score too low to be a policeman unless he just directed traffic. So he got his PhD and taught crimianl justice at the university level.

12:54 pm

That's wonderful, quail! Good for him!

12:54 pm

thats the way to do it

12:56 pm

and how rude of them to tell him such a thing!

12:58 pm

well, shoot, speaking of fidgety, I've put off giving our little dog a flea bath for too long, I'm off to get wet! Good luck to all!

12:59 pm

have a great day

1:00 pm

You too, and congrats on fireworks to come!

Yes! Every! Thing! It's just like certain Babblers!!!!

2:11 pm

2:12 pm

exclamations are the point

2:12 pm

The number of people in Britain with surnames like Cockshott, Balls, Death and The number of people in Britain with surnames like Cockshott, Balls, Death and Shufflebottom has declined by up to 75 percent in the last century. (Reuters)

2:23 pm

Shoot. I am the deputy of Haz. Oodle, it is this: 0( ';' )0

2:23 pm

got em all ....now if only the wash was all done

2:24 pm

ok . . . The number of people in Britain with surnames like Cockshott, Balls, Death and Shufflebottom has declined by up to 75 percent in the last century. (Reuters)

2:24 pm

(chat continues its weirdness with me today!)

2:24 pm

Have they been changing them, or the lines just dying out?

2:24 pm

I would tend to have to agree with uni

2:24 pm

lol unea

2:25 pm

in many cases, people probably changed their surnames as they came to be regarded as in bad taste. "It's because the meaning of words can change. Take the name Daft -- that as a term for a stupid is a relatively recent innovation."

2:25 pm

Oh, chat is always weird. Good to spice things up a bit. At least we've moved past Tele!Tubbies!

2:25 pm

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Daft meant "mild" or "meek" in Old English, whereas it means "foolish" today.

2:25 pm

chat would not be any fun if it was not weird

2:26 pm

I know someone with the surname d'Eath

2:26 pm

There are a lot of Potties and Outhouses in NS.

2:26 pm

I LOVE "Shufflebottom"! LOL

2:26 pm

for which im sure the residents of NS are very relieved

2:26 pm

hehe

2:26 pm

is that because indoor plumbing hasn't arrived there yet?

2:26 pm

I love the OED. Look up words for my classes all the time.

2:26 pm

Well, and I grew up in a small town with a number of Titsworths

2:27 pm

How would you know that, Ata? You never visit! :)

2:28 pm

BTW welcome back, Uniquity!~

2:28 pm

I would soooooo love to visit NS. I've always wanted to!

Can anybody chat, or is the chat always dominated by the few?

2:28 pm

I have 7 of the B words: a 4/6, 4/6, 4/7, 4/6, 4/6 ,4/6, and 5/22. one not spelled for fish, one who lost, some earth, a sad place, part of a skeleton, a goodness, and some guts.

2:29 pm

ok, so here at work, we have a daily "scene" that we create using random toys that people have brought into the office... for tomorrow, we have a plastic skeleton forearm + hand + its my job to come up with something witty/funny to do with it.... any ideas?

2:29 pm

if i can chat anyone can

2:29 pm

Thanks Une! My net works and I can now babble every day again. I have a feeling you will revoke your welcome eventually though, I tend to monopolize chat :)

2:29 pm

don't be silly! Chat's an equal opportunity space! :-)

2:29 pm

Hi all of you pumpkins - no school today for me so I thought I would drop in - yahoo "only" 82 words, is it a tricky one?

2:33 pm

2:33 pm

2:37 pm

LOLOLOL!

2:38 pm

I would like to watch for Jon & Kate...but at the same time, I want the whole family to have time for itself. I don't think my desires as a viewer should supercede the safety of the family, especially after that gossip scandal.

2:38 pm

i never liked barbies so I guess it was easier for me to chop her tete off!

2:38 pm

very even tempered... well he gits agitated but doesn't yell or scream

2:38 pm

**more, not for. Oy.

2:39 pm

yes you family comes first uni

2:39 pm

hello all, missing an M word, have quicksand and cat sound

2:39 pm

Oodle, the reason he wanted to end the show was because of all those rumours that he cheated on Kate. I would want to drop out of public too, I think.

well, if he knows that, he's big enough to realise what's at stake and to do what he wishes to accordingly. still bratty though :P

3:36 pm

oh fine, tired. really tired. recovering from a long long busy weekend looking after everyone in the world, it seemed like, anyway

3:36 pm

I agree... though perhaps his cockiness is also due to having received 3rd place for his grade at the science fair. *proud mama look*

3:36 pm

oh gee, poor atalante *sets out tea, cookies, fluffy robe and cozy slippers*

3:36 pm

probably :):):)

3:37 pm

I get 2 days off before another chaotic extended weekend :)

still, if you want, the offer is open!

5:07 pm

just saw your receipe nrk, never heard of canned pumpkin

5:07 pm

your sofa is a little far away though stid, but I appreciate the sentiment

5:07 pm

Andree, usually right next to canned pumpkin pie filling

5:08 pm

first two letters of the 8 please?

5:08 pm

we eat pumpkin here with every roast, have it mashed, every baby gets it in their baby food etc etc, in america you use it in desserts,lol

5:10 pm

Andree, I've also made stuffed pumpkin as a main dish

5:10 pm

pumpkin soup is every aussie's favourite

5:11 pm

I love pumpkin soup, and butternut squash soup, when done right

5:11 pm

how do you get the pumpkin for pumpkin soup -- not in a can? straight from the pumpkin itself perhaps?

5:12 pm

if so, just mash up same pumpkin and you can make the muffins with that

5:13 pm

have never even seen a can, not available here, pumpkins are cheap and plentiful, we buy it in pieces or whole or if you are like me you grow your own

5:15 pm

i have a whole lotof butternut pumpkins lying across my lawn, will be ready soon

5:16 pm

yum

5:17 pm

its funny how food differs from country to country even though we speak[sometimes] the same language

5:18 pm

{{{{{NERKY}}}}} How's you? How's Dad?

5:18 pm

hi CJ!!!

5:19 pm

hi cj

5:19 pm

Dad made it through yet another surgery. This surgeon said his left lung is horrible, and he's amazed the other surgeon even attempted the last procedure

5:19 pm

Hi Andree!

5:19 pm

I'm starting to lose it today. Too damn tired.

5:19 pm

{{{hugs nrkii}}}

5:20 pm

thanks car :)

5:20 pm

{{{Hugs}}} Nerky. Wish you lived closer; we could drink and veg.

5:20 pm

I know what that is like; ain't an easy time and absolutely mentally and physically exhausting.

5:20 pm

no light at end of tunnel yet... no idea when I will get to go back home

5:21 pm

are you staying with Mom?

5:21 pm

hello everyone -- small and nasty? :)

5:21 pm

Hi, Nan!

5:21 pm

yes, I'm up in Massachusetts staying with my mom

5:21 pm

OH NO!! Didn't realize that!!!!!

5:21 pm

cnan, not too nasty, but generally yes that's a good description

5:22 pm

hope all is well soon nrk and you can go home and rest

5:22 pm

I haven't been home in 2 weeks, and even then I was only home for one night to get more stuff and come back

5:22 pm

nrkii...near the hospitals?

5:22 pm

I feel guilty because I just want to go back to NJ

5:22 pm

hi nan, nasty a good description

5:22 pm

It is a bit easier when you can get to your own place and sleep in your own bed during such trying times.

5:22 pm

nrkii...don't feel guilty about wanting to be home.

5:22 pm

my parents live about 20 minutes from a very big hospital and trauma center

5:23 pm

so he's getting very good care

5:23 pm

did the surgeon say the surgery today was "successful"?

5:23 pm

I only ask because I am about 20 minutes from Boston...if there is anything I can do for you or your family...you let me know!

5:23 pm

will he be able to come home soon nrk

5:23 pm

thanks car... my parents are in Springfield

5:23 pm

Ahhh...the other way...but I am still nearby if you need anything!

5:23 pm

surgeon said today was successful, but his lung needs months to recover

5:24 pm

he's still in ICU

5:24 pm

geez. sounds like a long recovery. :(

5:24 pm

if today's surgery achieves what it was meant to, they can get him off the respirator in a few days, then to a regular room, then to rehab facility, then home

5:25 pm

do you have any other siblings up there?

5:25 pm

so I'm figuring I will be here at best another month to two months

5:25 pm

sounds as though you are there for the long haul

5:25 pm

one brother is close by, the other is in Ohio

5:25 pm

Oh my goodness, Nerky!!!

5:25 pm

but I'm the girl, and I'm the one who's unemployed

5:26 pm

it usually falls on the "girl(s)"

5:26 pm

how ironic that this happened while you were unemployed!!

5:26 pm

Mom-support generally does fall to girls, yep

5:26 pm

CJ, it happened 2 weeks after my mom retired, and 1 month after I lost my job

5:27 pm

Hmmmm....

5:27 pm

OMG!!! there are four girls in my family but I'm the oldest so I always seemed to be in charge

5:27 pm

so we have that going for us, anyhow... not having to worry about our jobs in the middle of all this

5:27 pm

well, that's a little less stress

5:28 pm

it definitely helps

5:28 pm

I am off the the drug store, but nrkii...the offer stands. Hang in there and I will continue to pray for you all.

5:29 pm

keep writing your updates on Facebook, nerky.

5:29 pm

thanks car! night!

5:29 pm

cu later car!!

5:29 pm

yep, will write one as soon as I finish this silly grid... 6 to go

5:29 pm

okay, about the grid... is there a w 4 and 6 combo, other than dog noise and maker of dog noise?

5:29 pm

a day of waiting here ... father-in-law was taken to ER on saturday, yesterday "decided" that his aortic stent OR bowel had twisted .. my better half flew out to be there yesterday and i haven't heard anything all day. supposedly waiting for the surgeon to take a peek at the films. he's elderly (88) but in better shape than men half his age, so i'm hoping for good news

6:56 pm

thankfully, work was incredibly busy today, so it kept my mind elsewhere ... maybe i should go back to work

6:58 pm

oh well ... will find 'busywork' to do around here

7:04 pm

Hi and 'bye Dorens. That's the quickest grid finish today, I reckon. 5 mins between your posts. LOL

7:46 pm

*Looks around the chog. 'Ooh! It's all echoey and scary and empty!'*

7:47 pm

no fears jac... just got back from iron sudoku

7:47 pm

*Begins to edge out of the room before the 'things' under the grid tiles come out and get her.*

7:47 pm

EEK!

7:47 pm

Phew! It's only you Dorens.

7:48 pm

yes that was quite a quick grid finish except i had entered all sorts of words earlier.... they haven't gotten you then, have they?

7:48 pm

Nope. LOL

7:48 pm

I was just indulging in a little silliosity.

hello jacs!

7:49 pm

well, this bears out what we've noticed before... short grids don't invite us to hang out and chat... vini, vidi, vici and all that sort of rot.

7:49 pm

Hi TO.

7:49 pm

owler, there you are to keep jac company

7:50 pm

I came, I saw, I conquered. I do that every day, so why do I keep going down in the rankings? I still can't work out how it's calculated. LOL

must go drier buzzed

7:50 pm

Nope, Dorens. TO prefers the company of her laundry. LOL

7:51 pm

i know, those stats are strange.... for the longest time i've won every game, yet the person above me gets further above me and the one below me gets closer and closer. i might get an inferiority complex

7:51 pm

Ditto, Dorens.

good evening...

7:52 pm

Hi red.

7:53 pm

It was done hours ago, red. I'm just here to blather on or to clue.

8:05 pm

Hello, alison45.

cooking is truly a use it or lose it sckill as i found trying to make stuffed peppers for the first time in 6 years

those sound complex TO.

8:07 pm

Hi Alison.

8:07 pm

hi jacula..hi gapeach

easy peasy can do veg or meat stuffed

8:07 pm

D'you think so, TO? I thought it was like riding a bike. A bit wobbly when you try again but you soon get the knack back.

I am not the best cook, but I admit to not really liking anything with green peppers involved.

well i got iut betty crocker, could not remember if egg was used

8:08 pm

Not that I've ever been given the chance to stop cooking.... Haven't ridden a bike for a very long time, though.

I never rode a bike, cant.

i actually bought real carrots and peeled them, those little ones have no taste

8:09 pm

Time you learned then, red!

8:09 pm

fireworks

8:10 pm

gotta run cya later

8:10 pm

Fresh vegs are so easily available here in UK TO. I didn't realise until last year that they're not in the US.

8:10 pm

'Bye wild.

8:10 pm

I can't imagine not being able to use fresh ingredients.

they are. just easier to use frozen &less waste for oone

8:12 pm

I'd get more to harvest from my own veg patch if there weren't so many slugs and snails in it, and mice. There's one less mouse now; cat just brought one home.

well to the business at hand. 8 to find including that ab5

8:13 pm

You can freeze the fresh stuff, TO, but frozen vegs are better than fresh that have been kept for days. Frozen when picked retain more nutrients.

8:13 pm

peep

8:13 pm

Hi dcs.

hi seain

8:14 pm

ab5 = a + the b4/6 meaning a good thing or a bonus.

8:14 pm

May I please have a clue for en5-12? Thanks

8:14 pm

evening all!

8:14 pm

ab5 is a Scottish word for 'above'.

8:15 pm

dogbreak imminent

8:17 pm

hi, jac, TO, Jacula, dan and peach

8:17 pm

screen froze for a moment

8:17 pm

Last time I looked in on Dan's pups they were tiny and whining a lot. I guess they're getting ready to wreck the house now?

8:17 pm

Hey there, dcseain.

8:17 pm

hehe. the first was adopted & taken home Saturday, 2nd goes tomorrow

you will miss them.

8:18 pm

Oh dan, you mean youhaven't given them the chance to run off with your toilet roll, shred the tissues in your wastepaper bin or pinch the onions from your veg. rack?

they are having a tag team match presently

8:19 pm

I will miss them individually. As a pack, not so much :-)

8:19 pm

Thanks, Jacula, I'm still working on it.

i am so dense i cannot se ha4

8:19 pm

Not to mention miss the paper you put down by the back door for them to pee on. Pups think that so long as their head and front legs are on The Paper, all is well.

8:20 pm

'ha4' pint, not a full one

8:20 pm

ha4 has 2 vowels in the middle.

8:20 pm

(And no 'ell' for the part pint in it.)

You can mail me if you don't want to say on here.

You might need to update your acrobat reader, sandy?

8:32 pm

Failing that, sandy. Get on to the ticket people and tell them your problem. You've paid, so you must have the tickets.

8:34 pm

great combo, btw, DC - baguette, fig preserves, serrano, manchego, olive oil drizzle and lots of black pepper...

8:34 pm

love cava TO - was that off the jaleo menu?

8:34 pm

8:57 pm

That's the 2nd ob4, dcs.

8:57 pm

8:57 pm

I am scared now, Jac! I will have nightmares!

8:57 pm

8:57 pm

I got it. Now re6 please?

8:58 pm

Me, too, Scrabbs. African folklore is particularly scary!

8:58 pm

(Ruru)--doing OK?

8:58 pm

re6 is the tax thing you might get back if you paid too much.

8:58 pm

not yet scrabs

8:59 pm

Or what a carpenter might carve into a piece of wood to lower it.

8:59 pm

((Ruru)) This too shall pass. You are already a resilient person.

9:00 pm

I thought it was quite good that this grid not only has me4 (cat noise) but also a dog noise (wo4 and 6).

9:00 pm

Hi ruru.

9:00 pm

And I am now done! Off to bed. i am exhausted, but I am on call and there are 2 kids in the ER still, and another going into surgery.

9:00 pm

9:05 pm

The worst farter I ever knew was my aunt and uncle's Boxer dog, Mitch. He was more foul than foul can decribe in the car on the (then) 4 hour jounrey to Wales. All we kids in the back with him were green-faced and hanging out of the windows. That dog had the foulest gasses ever.

9:06 pm

Harnesses for the bed? That's a bit S&M, ruru! LOL

9:06 pm

9:08 pm

Oh, right. *blushes* Thanks for the info, dcs.

9:08 pm

Bondage and Discipline....

9:08 pm

9:08 pm

9:09 pm

ruru - on the grounds that might implicate or incriminate me in some way, I choose not to answer your tongue-tied question.:-)

9:10 pm

*** thought so ***

9:10 pm

Jeeze! And to think I used to write for 'naughty' magazines.

9:10 pm

one day, at lunch, myself and two mormons schooled the cradle catholic in such, as we worked for a company with products BSM and BSLM

9:11 pm

Do go on, dcs...

9:11 pm

I could have a field day, dcs....

9:13 pm

Well, get on with it! I've got to go to bed soon.

9:14 pm

hmm, not sure i should join this conversation...s&m, b&d...

9:14 pm

what, Mormons schooling people in BDSM wasn't enough for you. Poor Victoria was scandalized and fascinated all at once. it was a fun meal at the Silver Diner :D

9:14 pm

hi, dawg!

9:14 pm

BSM = British School of Motoring.

9:15 pm

BSM - Business Service Monitoring

9:15 pm

Hi DC!

9:15 pm

BDSM = bondage & discipline.

9:16 pm

BD Bondage and Discipline SM Sado Masochism

9:17 pm

Not really my 'scene' but I do need to be able to write about it so post away...

9:17 pm

Not my scene, but the scene of a very close friend. I volunteer at the Fetish Flea and have done so for many years....

9:18 pm

Dominatrix is fine, victim, I don't understand.

9:18 pm

What the hell is the fetish flea, I hardly dare ask, Pam.

9:18 pm

I long ago stopped myself from analyzing it...

9:19 pm

anyone have a clue for the 1st fo 4,8 please?

9:19 pm

Flea Market, jac

9:19 pm

A fair held in Boston where people with all sorts of fetishes let it all hang out....

9:19 pm

is that the young horse, tex?

9:19 pm

thanks, dcs... am sure I was not glear...

9:19 pm

f+ formal name for jack is j***

9:19 pm

*clear

9:20 pm

1st fo4.8 rhymes with the poor chap who gets the 'Dear J' letter.

9:20 pm

BSM= Bull Sh** Monitor?

9:20 pm

It is one of those things that defies analysis -- those who participate can describe why it is important to them all they want, but for those of us who merely observe the scene it will never be truly comprehensible

9:20 pm

thanks jac

9:20 pm

WOULFIE!!

9:20 pm

Hi Wolfie. I sure didn't expect to see you here to explain that.

9:20 pm

Indeed, grey....

9:21 pm

HI all!

9:21 pm

hi, woulf

9:21 pm

well saide, woulf

9:21 pm

How's the family and yourself, Wolfie?

9:22 pm

We are all fine, Jac -- though it is looking like I have developed allergies for the first time in my life

9:22 pm

Oh no! Allergies to what, Wolfie?

9:22 pm

bummer, woulf. do you know to what?

9:22 pm

UGH, grey. They say this could be the year for allergy virgins....

9:23 pm

tsk. just found wa5.20, and i'm reasonably near UVA. shame on me

9:23 pm

I haven't a clue, all I know is that for the past week or so, I have been living on claritin and sudafed so I can breathe properly --- I have no other symptoms except for the clogged nose

9:23 pm

I have an allergy to seeing my new dentist, who I don't like, but I liked the guy he took over from. That might explain why I'm up late and might miss my appointment later.

9:24 pm

Sounds like a hayfever thing, Wolfie, unless something new has been introduced to your home or workplace.

9:25 pm

I am planning on seeing the doctor later this week to get his opinion.

9:26 pm

Think about anything new in your life before you see the doc, Wolfie.

9:26 pm

It may help him to diagnose.

9:26 pm

good to have it checked out, Woulf. allergy tests are good to have done so you know what to avoid.

9:26 pm

Not much new here, except for the decision to come back to Babble on a much more regular basis and keep in touch with everyone

9:26 pm

I didn't get hayfever symptoms until about 4 years ago.

9:26 pm

My Mum was the same.

9:27 pm

Whoo, this is such a small grid, I completed it in the time I allow myself. (But I want a flashier fireworks display -- the sort of thing you get with Spider Solitaire).

9:27 pm

allergy tests can be misleading. Best to follow your nose (so to speak) and think about what's around you.

9:28 pm

goodnigt all

9:29 pm

nite Christine

9:29 pm

whoooohoooooo Christine! nighty night

9:31 pm

I read a university paper today that seems to prove that anorexia nervosa is due to a mis-wiring of the brain in most cases and not due to any outside influences. I had a very angry moment then, thinking of all the 'who shall we blame today?' so-called family therapy sessions we, and other families of children in the clinic where my daughter was were subjected. No member of a family was exempt, unless a speechless babe in arms, from the blame culture.

9:31 pm

wolf, I hate taking antihistamines, they make me tired even if they are 'non drowsy' i us beconase nasal spray and it seems to cure the hayfever without ingestion of tablets

9:32 pm

I am with you sandy -- I would much prefer to avoid the pills whenever possible -- thankfully I am fairly resistant to most of the lethargic side effects of many of the over the counter meds

9:33 pm

I said back then, when I was dashing between the eating disorders clinic and the ward my Dad, who had Alzheimer's Disease (dementia) was on, that I didn't think anorexia had outside causes necessarily and that I thought it was either a chemical or wiring imbalance in the brain.

9:35 pm

Jac, I tend to agree with you, I often think our instincts are right. After my dealings with the Nicky and the medical profession!!!

9:35 pm

can I have a clue for the corner E?

9:35 pm

What really annoys me is not the scars I'm still trying to heal from one of the let's flame and blame sessions, but the fact that young children from other families may have been damaged when they were fine before. Young children are so quick to blame themselves when anything goes wrong. They don't need so-called 'experts', adults, so-called at that, helping them onto the blame road.

9:36 pm

I am resistet to those, too, grey and take Zyrtec in the morning and benadryl and a nasal spray in the evening....

9:36 pm

el4 - pzzazz - or try the antelope without the 'd' at the end, dan.

9:37 pm

that's the mid-column e, jac - have that one

9:37 pm

can't remember that antelope word....

9:37 pm

I have been looking at the Zyrtec but am hesitant to spend the money on it right now -- the claritin sort of works enough

9:38 pm

I used to use Claritin and/or Tavist, but the Zyrtec seems to work better for me. Most chain drug stores sell a generic....

9:38 pm

en5/12 - cut off word for HUGE, dan.

9:39 pm

aha! tx jac

9:39 pm

thanks, jac

9:39 pm

e + what a plane does when it hits the runway, pam.

9:39 pm

I have tried other nasal sprays- the Beconase is a cortisone based spray that only acts locally and has been really successful for me- I think allergies are a very individual thing

9:39 pm

as I said, I will be seeing the doc soon and will discuss the differences with him then

9:39 pm

ahhhh, thanks, jac. Have the el4, did not realize that that was the antelope word, LOL

9:39 pm

lol Jac as long as it doesn't crash im happy

9:39 pm

I use flonase, sandy

9:40 pm

does anyone have a clue for the no 4,4 please

9:40 pm

last one!

9:40 pm

I am sure you and the doc will come up with a good plan, grey

9:40 pm

why is it the 4 letter words are always the hardest for me?

9:40 pm

type of Japanese seaweed I think cwest

9:41 pm

flonase sounds like it might be the same sort of thing

9:41 pm

it is, sandy

9:41 pm

9:46 pm

considering the conversation earlier, you would have thought that one would have been much more obvious!! Firewords for me as well

10:19 pm

wtg woulf! :)

10:20 pm

now to get some dinner...brb

10:20 pm

Well, since everyone else seems to be in hiding, i think I am going to head off to bed -- {{**hugs**}}

10:21 pm

night ;)

10:36 pm

is everyone hiding?

10:37 pm

I just got back here...looks pretty quiet.

10:45 pm

*Too* quiet ..

10:47 pm

ne

10:47 pm

*Drops a pin,*

10:47 pm

I heard that ..

10:48 pm

What keen hearing you have! ;)

10:54 pm

f ore

10:54 pm

whoops .

11:01 pm

No one here to complain ..

11:04 pm

everyone done yet?

11:05 pm

Pretty much ..

11:05 pm

that's good! :)

11:08 pm

new to babble...which methods can you use to create words?

11:09 pm

Check out the Help box . . . . . . . .^

11:10 pm

welcome aboard...

11:11 pm

(hint: it's like playing Boggle [if you've ever played that before])

11:11 pm

thanks...help has 4 letters in it too!

11:11 pm

no less than 4 letters per word

11:14 pm

getting the hang of it?

11:15 pm

hi again guys

11:15 pm

hi sandy

11:15 pm

yep...I was in a word search mode and that was mostly useless. Angles help a lot!

11:16 pm

very much so, nosk

11:16 pm

you can use Lickety's clues nosk

11:16 pm

when the board flips, you'll see alot of babblers calling out hints to words they find...

11:16 pm

don't be afraid! :)

11:17 pm

the idea of the game is to complete each day's grid

11:17 pm

which means you have 24 hours to find all of the words

11:17 pm

dare I ask what a Lickety clue is?

11:18 pm

It flips every night at the same time (i.e., watch the clock in the upper right hand corner of the chog - midnight is bewitching hour)

11:18 pm

LOL, you will find it in the section below

11:18 pm

Lickety's Babble Clues (located near the bottom under Friends of Babble)...

11:18 pm

...it will give you a list of all of the words - but only the first 2 letters and then their length and point value)

11:19 pm

Thanks

11:19 pm

pini, do you remember when you first started, I found all of these things such a mystery, but eventually all was revealed

11:20 pm

no kidding, sandy...boy have we come a long way!

11:20 pm

indeed, and some people even have an addiction-luckily I have remained in control

11:21 pm

I'm with you, Sandy...under control...yeah, that's what I call it, too... LOL

11:22 pm

I must admit, I am meant to be doing the 'Tax Of Evil" but when i am near the computer ...........

11:22 pm

i thought about doing those, too...but, well, you know how it goes...babble comes first!! LOL

11:22 pm

JC, are you here?

11:23 pm

Nosk...did you take a peek at Lickety's List? If so, is it helping?

11:23 pm

oh, ps sandy...I gave up on MW a few months back *patting self on back*

11:24 pm

MW?

11:24 pm

morewords

11:24 pm

oh more words- i am still a user

11:24 pm

you must be 'fabulous' pini!

11:24 pm

I've been practicing on length and point value....almost a science now! NOT!

11:25 pm

oh, gosh, no not fabulous...but getting better and better everyday! :)

11:25 pm

I dont really get the point value thing- but I try not to use lickety or more words until i am really desperate

11:25 pm

Want a quick lesson?

11:26 pm

I am definitely getting better

11:26 pm

it's not as hard as you might think :)

11:26 pm

IMHO

11:26 pm

no...I'm roughing it for now. Up to a whopping 7 words...I gotta slow down a bit

11:26 pm

No people in the "real world" will play Boggle with me anymore!

11:26 pm

git'r dun, Nosk...you have 34 minutes until the flip!!! :)

11:27 pm

open another tab and look at lickety , it will really help nosk

11:27 pm

Me either, Sandy...it's almost sad!

11:27 pm

LOL, they keep saying I am cheating...ha ha I don't know how ?

11:28 pm

either that or they make you define every word you use!!! now, that's tough!

11:28 pm

It is quite amazing how many words I can get at Boggle- I wouldn't like to be playing with any of you though

11:29 pm

Now that would be interesting!

11:29 pm

no time for tabs...I'm on a 4 letter blitz

11:29 pm

I'd be scared to play others here! I mean, sheesh, FB Scramble masacres are bad enough! LOL

11:29 pm

go nosk go!!!

11:29 pm

imagine the desecration playing with Sprite or Dart

11:30 pm

go Nosk, and stay for the flip

11:30 pm

I'd give before starting with them! ;)

11:30 pm

(oh, yes, do stay for the flip!!!!)

11:30 pm

not go as in leave LOL

11:30 pm

You too will soon be assimilated; resistance is futile!

11:30 pm

hehehe

11:31 pm

We are the Borg

11:31 pm

oh yeah!

11:32 pm

I am looking forward to the new grid

11:32 pm

Pini, what time is it for you? its12.32pm here

11:33 pm

hopefully it's a little bigger...

11:33 pm

9:33pm (Monday)

11:33 pm

11:34 pm

11:34 pm

hi s'smom

11:34 pm

hi pini

11:34 pm

i want a 17 tonight

11:34 pm

it's Tuesday here (I think) whenever I think TOE, my mind goes into reverse- and no I haven't heard or experienced anything sammy

11:34 pm

ru! are you nuts????

11:35 pm

rur, do you mean 17 words ? or something more sinister

11:35 pm

16?

11:35 pm

the reason i asked is becausde i have aol and when i just checked my e mail- there is a new bar at the end of the blue ones

11:35 pm

* ahem *

11:35 pm

or perhaps a 17 letter word

11:35 pm

SANDY!!!

11:35 pm

gosh, I haven't seen/heard of one yet, s'smom

11:35 pm

I have..."conficker" or something babbleish like that. Over 3 million computers infected and worldwide security teams have been searching for over 2 years for the source. We'll see.

11:36 pm

this one is yellow and has a smiley facde on it and the words 3 credit bureaus

11:36 pm

lol, it would be easy to find it on more words Pini

11:36 pm

ok how about 24?

11:36 pm

I'm going to look at my email

11:36 pm

a 24 letter word??? NO!!!!!!

11:36 pm

have NEVER seen a yellow bar on that page before- i am not going to check on it because i know what my credit rating is anyway

11:37 pm

ruru has other plans for this evening?

11:37 pm

hi everyone

11:37 pm

I haven't seen anything in my emails yet...

11:37 pm

Never open an e mail or from anyone i don t know or download anything i didn t ask for

11:37 pm

11:37 pm

11:39 pm

11:40 pm

sometimes ya just has ta say hum..................................

11:40 pm

this is a desperate situation, thought babble was a hour earlier now and sitting here wondering why i have nothing better to do on my day off

11:40 pm

i need to get myself a life

11:40 pm

a gorgeous email from a friend i would like to share but can i copy and paste into my profile

11:40 pm

when you find your's, andree...let us know so we can join you! :)

11:41 pm

You should be able to, sandy...

11:41 pm

lol, pink

11:41 pm

hey, andree...it's a thought!!!! LOL

11:41 pm

this IS the life andree- you don t have feed it- walk it- or clean up its crap- what could be better than that??

11:41 pm

I'll try , I'm such a cyber klutz

11:42 pm

holler if you need help, Sandy ;)

11:43 pm

at the moment I cant get out of babble speaking of strange things-the minimizing bar has disappeared

11:43 pm

true sammy

11:44 pm

Andree, we have just finished the Evil daylight saving, is that the same for you?

11:44 pm

and my battery sigh at bottom of screen has disappeared so now i have no idea what time i have left outside

11:44 pm

you can also minimize by clicking once on the piece below (the one that tells you all of the things you have open at the moment)...then click again to bring it back to the surface ;)

11:45 pm

no not nsw yet, not sure when but must be soon

11:45 pm

that has disappeared as well pini

11:45 pm

Cannot help with the battery situation...had to steal the batteries from my TV's remote control in order to get my mouse to work ;)

11:45 pm

sandy...run your mouse back/forth over that area...they might come back for you

11:46 pm

i have an extra large babble on the screen, I cant even play hearts

11:46 pm

ah I am doing that and it might work

11:47 pm

if you right click on babble at bottom of screen it will bring up the minimize box

11:47 pm

when all else fails...reboot (should clear any/all "glitches")

11:48 pm

hi all

11:48 pm

hi west

11:48 pm

for all the aussie's here the theme is kangaroo balls what is that?

11:48 pm

got it and trying to copy and paste

11:48 pm

hi pini

11:49 pm

it couldn't be what it sounds like could it?

11:49 pm

Gads, west, I don't even want to fathom an answer to that one...

11:49 pm

Nosk...you still with us??? :)

11:49 pm

I must get an icon but I have no idea

11:50 pm

hi west, kangaroo balls?

11:50 pm

11:50 pm

i am playing poker on a flip sceen and knitting while waiting for the flip -lol

11:50 pm

11:51 pm

I should get my jammies on before flip time...

11:51 pm

11:51 pm

11:51 pm

11:51 pm

yep...first 6 letter word. a small victory, but...

11:51 pm

is sprite in your 'friends' list? check it out

11:51 pm

well done, nosk!!!!

11:52 pm

there is a bottle opener apparently that is made from a kangaroo's scrotum

11:52 pm

I thought maybe it was an aussie thing like a candy bar or something

11:52 pm

LOL West

11:52 pm

Just think everyone will be here in a few minutes...then it will be a free-for-all for the first hour (after the first hours, we start to share actual clues not just word stats).

11:52 pm

oh please I'll give up drinking

11:52 pm

Oh, Sandy...didn't need to know that!!!!!!!

11:53 pm

Just an interesting piece of trivia, Pini

11:53 pm

cha right!! ROFL

11:53 pm

oh sandy I saw the puppies today

11:53 pm

11:54 pm

11:54 pm

Tue 31 Mar - Kangaroo Balls / Skippy Balls (sprite)

11:54 pm
