Hanging in there! The work hunt sucks. But other than that, fine! You?

I mean Saskia (can't type at this hour)

2:06 am

Maybe he does. Who knows? He could say he's a girl from Dubai and we'd never know.... Jilli, thanks, and she is still totally fine! OK, I am summoned to feed marbles through the new construction. Catch you folks later!

3:01 am

the ultimate critic

3:02 am

all that fame just went to his head

3:03 am

nah...if it was as simple as that i would have expected him to go off the rails when he was younger and just as famous

3:03 am

middle aged crazies?

3:04 am

well what does a man do when he already has a red sportscar?..lol

3:04 am

lol you said it

3:15 am

Back again just to change my icon -- sorry, George, but I decided to do the local leaf because it's unusual. Stay tuned...

3:15 am

Poor George. Spurned by jillibus in favour of a leaf.

3:16 am

Good morning/evening alll.

3:17 am

hello haz I'm staying faithful

3:17 am

Ah, here's Haz, to enjoy George before I reluctantly bid him farewell and tuck him into (my?) bed.

3:18 am

shh jilli don't tell

3:18 am

Good for you westford. Thanks, jillibus for the last look. The episode of ER where he appeared for the last time was on here through the week.

3:18 am

I swear I've never seen a man age so well

3:19 am

I saw that one too, Haz

3:19 am

you must be taking good care of him haz

3:19 am

He seemed to dominate the screen without having to say or do very much. Not that I'm biassed or anything.

3:20 am

Yes, Westford. He's always found solace in the cupboard under my stairs.

3:20 am

from which he escapes and teleports to my house

3:20 am

He tells people about Lake Como but we all know the truth.

3:21 am

do you let him out at night?

3:21 am

what Haz doesn't know won't hurt her

3:21 am

He's free to come and go as he pleases, west.

3:21 am

you mean he can't act, but looks pretty?

3:21 am

see? see?

3:21 am

you're so good to him haz

3:22 am

Poor man. So many deluded women in the world who think they have a relationship with him.

3:22 am

he can act, and he has a brain too (a good one)

3:22 am

Of course he can act! But he doesn't look as though he's acting. That's why he's a good actor.

3:23 am

he's no himbo

3:23 am

ata's just pulling our chains

3:23 am

Good morning Ata!

3:23 am

ooh jilli good word

3:23 am

hi ata

3:24 am

hi ata

3:24 am

I wish I were the one who made it up, west

3:25 am

did you hear trif's word..wasband for a husband who's no longer one

3:25 am

good one!

3:26 am

Problem is, when I see it, I either see waistband or washstand. My brain plays tricks.

3:26 am

maybe it needs a hyphen

3:27 am

would hasbeend be better?

3:27 am

that's good too

3:27 am

Hasbeen sounds good.

3:28 am

you know how you can read words if the first and last letters are the right ones -- so that d has to stay at the end

3:28 am

not like george, of course

3:29 am

boo, ata

3:29 am

george will never marry

3:29 am

Definitely not like George.

3:29 am

he's never been a husband anyway

3:30 am

he's saving himself

3:30 am

ROFL!!!

3:33 am

Ata, is Hobbit back to normal again?

3:34 am

so now I have to go to bed (really), so bye bye George -- I'll see you in my dreams, I hope

3:34 am

Good night, jillibus, sleep well. You could dream of much worse than George.

3:34 am

bye jilli that would be a very nice dream

3:35 am

Just so long as you realise that, unlike me, George can only ever be in your dreams.

3:35 am

oh yes, bouncing around like a maniac. we took her out to the pub when we all went for dinner last night. a bit of steak or two finished the healing process!

3:35 am

Not rubbing it in, or anything, just helping you to face reality gently. The therapist told me it was best.

3:36 am

Oh, good for her!

3:36 am

I think it's so nice that you can bring your dogs

3:37 am

what happened to Hobbit ata?

3:37 am

What Haz doesn't know won't hurt her...

3:37 am

she over-exhausted herself on a loooong walk

3:38 am

glad she's okay then

3:38 am

oh yes, it's a very dog friendly pub. she sat on the bench next to me and watched the world go by

3:38 am

That's just what Scrabbler says as well, Jill. She's got some strange ideas about George.

3:39 am

I wish we had pubs like that

3:39 am

well, Haz, I'm glad you're seeing a therapist...

3:40 am

couldn't we all have him for one day a week?

3:40 am

most of them are around here. we're in the middle of the countryside, if the farmers couldn't slope in for a drink at midday with their labradors and collies, they wouldn't go to the pubs

3:40 am

I'm in contact with your therapist, Jillibus, you're proving to be a hard case to deal with and she thought she'd look for advice from one who knows George well.

3:41 am

ata I have a friend who lives in Surrey and she brings her dog to the pub all the time

3:41 am

But don't say that you know. Professional confidences and all that.

3:41 am

he's a big one too

3:41 am

Jilli - we went to Leeds Castle the other day. It's owner in the mid 20th century was an American heiress who became Lady Baillie. She had Great Danes. And bred them ,I think

3:42 am

I think nearly every table had a dog under it last night!

3:42 am

Well, if those thoughts keep you happy, Haz, I wouldn't dream of interfering

3:42 am

I wish we had pubs

3:43 am

It's when the farmers start bringing in their pet goats that the atmosphere turns really ripe.

3:43 am

google has goats

3:43 am

We need English villages where everything is in walking distance

3:44 am

they keep the grass trimmed at their headquarters

3:44 am

I don't know about walking distance jilli my friend thinks nothing of going 5 miles to the pub

3:45 am

I'd be in another state if I did that

3:45 am

and now, bed, really -- good night/morning all *repoof*

3:45 am

That's a very eco-friendly way of doing the grass, but English people would be looking for the stripes in the lawn.

3:45 am

sure jilli lol

3:45 am

straight stripes

3:45 am

Sleep well, jillibus, nice to see you!

3:46 am

Absoltutely. Straight stripes or it's not worthy of being grass.

i bet gordon brown doesn't have stripes in HIS lawn

3:46 am

it does seem prettier

and he probably got made fun of for it at the latest session of parliament

3:47 am

does he have a lawn?

3:47 am

bet Chequers has stripes

3:47 am

Of course he does. The back garden at no 10 is used for photo opportunities and the stripes are mandatory.

3:48 am

as it should be

3:48 am

Yes, I can't imagine Chequers without stripes.

3:48 am

does Stormont have stripes?

3:48 am

the lawn at the Marine Commandant's quarters in DC is painted green

3:49 am

It's quite a big lawn at Stormont, 1 mile from the road. But I'd be pretty sure they do their best.

3:49 am

are riding mowers allowed?

3:49 am

oh my, west!

3:49 am

Just googled Stormont and YES we have stripes!

3:50 am

wooot!

3:51 am

is it Old Trafford that has checks instead of stripes?

3:51 am

I think I prefer checks

3:51 am

There, I've uploaded a picture of stripy Stormont.

3:52 am

I think lots of the football grounds have different patterns. I've seen tartan before now.

3:52 am

oh how lovely!

3:52 am

(Stormont I mean)

3:52 am

very nice

3:52 am

I know. And look how straight the stripes are.

3:53 am

perfect!

3:53 am

when I googled it I got health care

3:53 am

morning all

3:53 am

If you google image it, westford you get some nice pictures.

3:54 am

oh I didn't think of that

3:54 am

hello sprite

3:54 am

Good morning sprite.

3:55 am

how's the verdict on today's grid?

3:55 am

it's coming along

3:55 am

So far it's very nice, I think.

3:56 am

I liked yesterday's better

3:56 am

thanks :) *dives in*

just to save you some headache - you can't make tattoo in the grid today. you really just can't

3:57 am

so close josh

3:57 am

lol josh! And I take it you tried and tried!

no comment

3:59 am

nice young clooney, west! He matured well, though, I think.

4:00 am

oh yes sprite was just saying how well

wtf is the other z? i don't know if i can even attempt any other combinations

4:00 am

it's polish money usually ends in y

4:00 am

try ZL for starters

polish, eh

4:00 am

ok, gotta go and sort sister's phone out. back later!

yeah. stinking poles

got it

4:01 am

hi and bye then Ata

4:01 am

bye ata good luck

4:01 am

My moment of triumph was finding the zl unaided. Hooray for a trip to Poland last year!

4:01 am

nothing wrong with poles!

4:01 am

Bye Ata!

4:01 am

hi sprite! bye sprite!

poles are sneaky and good at hiding, just like their currency

i knew the word, i just never thought to try zl

4:02 am

Nothing like a vast generalisation to provoke comment.

4:02 am

perhaps certain individuals can be all that. But never a whole nationality.

luckily i would never try to say anything definitive about a nationality because i had trouble locating their currency in the babble grid

4:04 am

that's good josh

4:04 am

That is fortunate.

4:04 am

so I guess I was provoked to comment. Will keep still.

4:05 am

did you enjoy your trip haz?

4:05 am

hi herin

How goes it?

4:06 am

I enjoyed it very much, westford. It was to Krakow for 4 days in May last year, to celebrate my 50th birthday. It's a beautiful city and we also got the chance to visit Auschwitz, so memorable for a number of reasons.

4:06 am

Hello herin.

Waves hello

4:06 am

any language barriers?

4:06 am

hi lady

Hugs

4:07 am

Well, fortunately many of the Polish people we encountered spoke pretty good English. Polish is a pretty impenetrable language with more than its fair share of consonants (for the English eye) so we were grateful to be treated so well.

4:08 am

I can manage okay with French, German, Spanish road signs etc, but hadn't a hope with Polish.

4:08 am

I've always wanted to go there my Polish consists of 'Give me a kiss' Thank You and Good Night

That is one place I think i would be frightened and in awe of

4:09 am

I think I'd get along lol

4:09 am

Maybe be selective where you use those phrases, West!

i had that problem with hungarian and turkish

i got to where i could pronounce the words on the signs, but had no idea what they meant and no hope to find out without burying myself in a dictionary for 5 minutes

4:09 am

You mean Auschwitz, herin? It was fascinating, less emotive than I expected when I was actually there, but it has haunted me since.

Yes I mean Auschwitz. I was arguing with a kitty

4:10 am

I know what you mean, josh, and what they seem to be saying bears no relation to what the book says they're saying.

polish is almost as bad as welsh, if you ask me

4:12 am

They both have their vowel shortages.

4:14 am

It would be interesting to hear what Polish people think of English. It's not as though we have an extremely logical language or anything.

no kidding

My friend is Polish that has never been bought up before

because of all the borrowing in english, it is one of the most arbitrary languages in the world

4:15 am

Maybe your friend is being polite, herin.

No just one of those things.

Interesting point though

bottom two roys greyed

that pl5/22 was a lucky find

4:16 am

looks polish lol

4:16 am

That's why it amuses and frustrates me when so many people howl with annoyance when 'foreign' words are accepted in babble. It's just a characteristic of the language that if it can't think of a better word, English will just grab another language's word and adopt it.

looks yiddish

it's hard to tell where the boundaries of english are, sometimes

4:17 am

that too

4:17 am

The Story of English is fascinating have you read or seen it?

i don't know - possibly

that is a title i could have seen a hudnred times or not at all

4:19 am

it was a series on PBS

I love learning new words. I have a kitty on the edge of the chair and I really want to push her off

4:19 am

and a book but can't remember the author

4:19 am

I don't think so, westford. I enjoyed Bill Bryson's 'Mother Tongue', but then I enjoy most of his work.

push her off, herin. she probably deserves it for something

4:20 am

I have one on the arm of my chair

4:20 am

Written by McNeil, McCrum and McCann (The story of English, that is)

4:21 am

I was just googling you beat me to it

No I couldn't do that she will get me back in the am. i think his royal pain in my bum has been annoying her. He has stolen her tea tonight

21 left. i'm half-tempted to just run for the finish and sleep when i'm dead

4:22 am

I'll try to find Mother Tongue

4:22 am

go for it josh

but it's nearly 05:30 here

4:24 am

here too

why are you awake?

you sound like my conscience, herin

4:28 am

if I finish this I'll have a feeling of accomplishment

my cats have bothered each other. ONe is hiding on mum :D

4:29 am

If you have a sleep and come back to it, your thought processes will be rested and you'll probably find the missing words more easily.

4:29 am

you're right haz think I'll take your advice

4:30 am

I can't find the se5/12 for love nor money

but i've only 15 left. i can smell the fireworks

4:30 am

next door's kitty has just jumped on my lap and is busy scent marking the keyboard.

4:30 am

Second helping of smugness today - first I find the Polish currency and now westford is taking my advice!

4:30 am

se5/12 - hebrew word, found in psalms.

4:30 am

hi hydra

4:30 am

only because you take such good care of George

ty for se5/12

4:31 am

well thank you haz now I can go got the se

4:31 am

You're welcome!

4:31 am

Hello there, sprite. It's a little hard to type right now, with a cat's posterior in my face!

4:31 am

Sleep well, westford.

4:31 am

good bye all take care

4:31 am

Hello hydra.

4:31 am

Bye, weat!

4:32 am

I dont have it either CyberN.

10:28 am

Glad I caught you, red, How are you feeling? Stomach pains better?

10:28 am

10:28 am

red, Thank goodness...perhaps, stress from not selling your home and the move to a new apartment

10:29 am

yw ccyber

that and the subsequent 60 hour work weeks....

Annie how are you?

10:31 am

red, I am okay...60 hours..too much but the pay makes up for it, I hope

the pay has been nice, but I am really wanting some more time off to unpack!!!

10:32 am

red, was reading an article about exotic imported wildlife taking over Florida, including Burmese pythons

10:32 am

It was in the New Yorker magazine from April

Yes, Bichon, the phytons are basically being killed anytime anyone sees them, and lion fish in the water are horrible.

thats why I made my fish tank all local fish, if I ever get time to get them!!!

Bichon did you hear though, about the extreme law proposed by someone in senate, that banned all non native animals? It essentially bans hamsters and goldfish.

10:34 am

Gerbils too?

gerbils, and a mess of regular aquarium fish. I cant find what happened to it.

10:36 am

There was a supposition in the article, that because of global warming, pythons could be reaching the NE by 2100. That's a looong way off though, and it's only a theory

10:36 am

I kept having dreams of a snake devouring my Bisky

http://www.wesh.com/family/19237426/de tail.html

10:38 am

going to list -- not finding this grid as nice as yesterday's!

Oh no Bichon. they are saying that freezing iquanas is cruel, but actually it is a very humane way to kill reptiles.

i hope your bisky stays safe.

10:39 am

In CT, he will be safe [sorta]. There are coyotes

10:40 am

The thought of reptile wandering around makes my tummy crawl

It took me a while to get used to the buch of little lizards we always have wiggling about in Fl.

10:42 am

The little ones are okay, but we saw big ones in Costa Rica sunny themselves at the swimming pool

We have a lot of birds that eat them, so...

1:30 pm

hm. i may need to jump in and design a journal layout, using the most pleasing of oranges, browns, and deep reds.

1:31 pm

GORGEOUS colours

1:32 pm

i think so, the reds and oranges complement, an the browns help unify and to moderate the oranges. :) I may work in just a tiny bit of a blue or green for contrast. more likely blue to make use of the complementary aspects

1:33 pm

a mossy colour green works very well as a contrast to those colours

1:33 pm

*places tray down,help yourselves you know which yours are and there a some cookies too*

1:33 pm

ooh, it would, and would be soothing. ty

2:06 pm

I have a droid army? cool!!

2:07 pm

Oh, don't play innocent, Ata. We've seen pictures.

2:07 pm

i have a spaniel army!

2:07 pm

Annie the flying nun doesn't count as a droid army !

2:07 pm

They look all sleek and art deco...

2:08 pm

And you make them march in fancy formations...

2:08 pm

Ah Metropolis :)

2:08 pm

oooo i like that film

2:08 pm

And you can't hide them from me, because my tin foil hat blocks the mind control rays with which you keep the rest of the earth in ignorance.

2:09 pm

I know you do silly! Back in a bit or two need more tea

2:09 pm

but they have anti tin foil rays

2:09 pm

You've got to trust me on this, everyone!

2:09 pm

I have all of the se words except the last se4/4. Could I get a clue?

2:10 pm

se4/4 - purveys, with undoubled consonant. At least that's my last se4/4/

2:11 pm

Oh dear. I guess the others can't handle the truth. Sorry everyone! *goes back into the Faraday cage*

ty zoom

2:12 pm

Lovely quail, quail. Where'd you get it?

vicuna, ty

2:12 pm

your welcome, loved it

se 4 -- double consonant ending

2:13 pm

You must be really excited!

2:13 pm

Thanks for the clues. I found my quail by doing search on google for quail graphics. This was my favorite.

2:13 pm

Oh, thanks, Verbal. I missed that one.

2:14 pm

Good choice then, quail! =)

2:16 pm

Vi you could always rent a space in MG's lead bunker!

2:16 pm

Oh, does she have a le4/5 bunker? Isn't she worried about getting le4/5 poisoning?

2:17 pm

oops off to the PB for me

2:17 pm

=)

2:18 pm

its ok FM, I didnt eat all the chocs in there :)

2:18 pm

sorry am getting semi carried away with Purcells baroque choral music on the TV

2:18 pm

walter probably creates antile4 stuff

Ladies, please, words I dont have to get into the PB...

2:19 pm

brb, hi red

2:19 pm

True, true, Ata. I'd better start training the ToGs in antidote chemistry.

2:19 pm

lol dinok, it's OK I designed it with lots of cupboard space so there is always something to find in there. Hi Red!

2:21 pm

If you haven't seen the pics dinok look in my profile.

2:22 pm

yay for pics being back!

2:23 pm

They are a blast from the past aren't they!

2:23 pm

*wipes a nostalgic tear*

2:23 pm

Hugs Vi :)

2:24 pm

*breaks down completely*

2:25 pm

Awe, there there dear, have a cup of tea and a box of tissues

2:25 pm

Failing that I have an emergency supply of Haz's blue and pink pills?

2:25 pm

I like the tea, but the tissues are always so hard to chew. *sniff*

2:25 pm

LOL

try the aloe tissues vicuna, they godown easier.

2:26 pm

Ah, thanks for the tip, redturtle!

2:26 pm

I'm sure Ata would agree.

2:27 pm

oh yes

I'm now finding this grid to be a bit difficult.

2:27 pm

And now I must leave you, and my last 23 words, for later. Duty calls. *waves affectionately*

2:28 pm

Bye Vi adieu!

2:29 pm

think I will head off too as I want to watch my programme on TV. Happy Babbling.

2:30 pm

2:59 pm

3:08 pm

3:10 pm

3:10 pm

3:10 pm

hey Met! congrats!

3:11 pm

and the past tense of that becomes the fl7 48 quail...

3:11 pm

Anybody want clues before I poof for dinner?

3:12 pm

I was just entering that one . I love those words that grow.

3:13 pm

I am so excited. I have only 16 words more to finish. If I finish, It will be my first time to do so.

3:13 pm

what's for din Met?

3:13 pm

GO quail!

3:14 pm

Teryaki chicken on a bed of wild rice, cauliflower ....

3:14 pm

The folks on this site are so great. I really enjoy my time playing.

3:14 pm

It's nice to have happy people around

3:15 pm

...and green beans? with a side of a pinot...?

3:15 pm

..and for dessert a quick strawberry shortcake?

3:15 pm

Hows by you, Pav? I tend not to get involved with the chog because it takes too much time to complete the grid, pls there have been enough people on here who cut in on a conversation and get snotty, as of late anyway....

3:16 pm

And no, no green beans - I tend to prefer cruciferous veggies...

3:16 pm

Snotty people, here?

3:16 pm

How are those Mets doing so far?

3:16 pm

Believe it or else.....

3:17 pm

Crummy

3:17 pm

I hear that...just last night there were a few who graciously ignored my help and while I may have felt pushed aside, it was to my benefit as I then started lurking, completing more than I would have...I like to help after finishing though

3:18 pm

15 more

3:18 pm

snap!

3:19 pm

This is how it went: My sister (Reparteena) was staying in alone on a Sat nite, so I asked her if she'd like to go out with m e to the local den of iniquity, told her I always thought she'd make a great hag (they use the term on "WIll & Grace" all the time) and someone who shall remain nameless got all up in my face about being insulted by the term.

3:19 pm

14 more

3:20 pm

too bad MetsFan, I always remember my father when I think of the Mets

3:21 pm

I think people are mostly nice here, but I don't really interact with them enough to think of them as friends

3:21 pm

that happens all too often Met...I've removed most of my identifiers because of that...no sense letting peeps on who trash....

3:21 pm

So I tend not to get involved with the chog as of late. The term is one of endearment, and she had no business cutting in on me and my Sis. Bichon, the Mets are doing so badly, I don't even want to wear my many shirts out!!!

3:21 pm

Really? how silly - I think its quite affectionate Metfan

3:22 pm

Well, that's you, Lynxxx, you're a sweetheart anyway....

3:22 pm

and I don't interact if I see certain Babblers on...just lurk...

3:22 pm

I was here when that happened ... how long ago now?

3:22 pm

I was here when that happened ... how long ago now?

3:23 pm

That's what I do, Pav, and only come in if I REALLY need a clue, or to announce fireworks.....

3:23 pm

I don't have enough hours in the day to do this game, never mind coming back after I've finished to chat. I enjoy chatting when I do though

3:23 pm

hey Lynxxx? how are ya?

3:23 pm

It was about three weeks ago, inslomo

3:24 pm

I'm good, and even better when I get my first coffee of the day BBS

3:24 pm

and you are still offended over such a trivial thing?

3:24 pm

What happened, was someone snotty

3:25 pm

grrh! took me all that time to see ti5/16!

3:25 pm

I'm not insulted - just incensed over her nerve, and it tends to make me stay to myself because I don't want to get on here and say something I shouldn't, which would be my tendency....

3:25 pm

and mine was bout that time as well Met...I made a slight faux pax in re: our Pres that some took great offense with, and I wasn't conversing with them to begin with...but the kinder ladies mentioned religion and politics are not not good conversation topics...

3:26 pm

you are saying it anyway

3:26 pm

It's difficult to dicuss very serious matters in this kind of forum.. Sometimes you don't mean it but it comes out sounding wrong

3:27 pm

I Mean I don't want to get reduced to the other person's level of name-calling and such....

3:27 pm

hi all!

3:27 pm

bichon I agree

3:27 pm

bichon I agree

3:27 pm

but you did

3:27 pm

exactly, Bichon..and to think during the election anything was open...

3:27 pm

and are now

3:27 pm

I often just stay quiet when people start saying things I disagree with, and I leave if I start to get angry

3:28 pm

Good strategy, nrkii, one I adhere to....

3:28 pm

I think there was such an overwhelming majority here pro-Obama that if anyone was for his opponent, they kept it to themselves

3:28 pm

I don't think people realize how diverse this community is, and that for every opinion, there is sure to be at least one person on with exactly the opposite opinion

3:28 pm

calling Obama a terrorist is not funny

3:29 pm

I definitely don't discuss religion anywhere except with very close company. It's too personal and can ignite strong passions

3:29 pm

Met, we are like minded...no sense in raising hell with a game and peeps we only meet online...and some just need to be ignored altogether....

3:29 pm

I'm sure it is to someone inslomo, as much as it might not be to many

3:29 pm

Someone called Barack Obama a terrorist here?

3:29 pm

The point is, you're not going to change an opinion in this forum, so let people have their opinions, and move on.....

3:29 pm

you thing Obama is a terrorist

3:30 pm

think

3:30 pm

I certainly don't think any such thing.

3:30 pm

I voted for Mr. Obama....

3:30 pm

see, and this is where I don't bother to engage (foolish me to have jumped in with something so outrageous as suggesting that in a diverse group, you have people with opinions quite opposite to your own, no matter the topic)

3:31 pm

Quite true, nrkii

3:31 pm

...and with that, if anyone needs a clue, I'm here otherwise I'll get ready for my evening volunteerism...

3:31 pm

and by the way, no, I don't

3:31 pm

I do discuss politics, but only in a general sense. When I go visit red-state relatives I shut up cause they are so obnoxious about it

3:31 pm

can anyone help me with ts5?

3:31 pm

ts + lemon***

3:32 pm

It's a Hebrew letter

3:32 pm

or t+ sa4

3:32 pm

thanks

3:32 pm

Anyway I have marinating chicken waiting for me, wild rice to cook, cauliflower to steam. Have fun, all, and good luck, this wasn't a terrible grid. Bye all. {{{{POOF}}}}

3:33 pm

night Met! thanks for sharing...

3:33 pm

Bye Metfan - enjoy

3:33 pm

bye MetFan!

3:34 pm

The Mets will win again!

3:35 pm

quite amusing here. hehehe

3:35 pm

ok, I'll be parting as well.....have fun everyone!

3:35 pm

thanks for the ts clue. I've only 13 left.

3:35 pm

the cliques are forever

3:35 pm

bye Pav

3:35 pm

3:44 pm

3:44 pm

I would appreciate help with fe5/16, no the one with wool.

3:44 pm

hi, mo, pl 5/22 - it's a yiddish word - add a high point consonant to the 4/5

3:45 pm

my roommate used to use the word pl5 a lot

3:45 pm

oh, that was for Tempest, sorry

3:45 pm

it's a Yiddish word meaning to fall down exhausted

3:45 pm

yay for the yiddish words!

3:45 pm

fe 5 - what you have at Thanksgiving, quail

3:45 pm

fe5.16 fe*** or famiine

3:45 pm

pitty rurru's not around.

3:45 pm

I shopped all day and now I'm falling down pl***ing

3:46 pm

hi JBV.

3:46 pm

haven't heard it in a while - I remember it more like a synonym for died of embarrassment

3:46 pm

I thought it was yiddish for sweating like a pig

3:46 pm

Or, when I heard the gossip I almost pl***ed

3:46 pm

de5/6 - pretty blue Dutch pottery named for a town and plural

3:46 pm

my dad said it literally means to burst

3:47 pm

Yes pug, that too

3:47 pm

that just about covers all the foregoing, pug!

3:47 pm

Fe5 I thought I had tried that one. Thanks for giving.

3:47 pm

When my son graduated from Harvard I was pl***ing for joy

3:47 pm

sorry I wasnt quick enough with a clue.

3:47 pm

3:49 pm

3:54 pm

3:55 pm

just like the rest of us, tempest

3:55 pm

oh yes...general proud mama anouncement! I almost pl5ed with joy yesterday when my son the boy genius told me he'd made the NATIONAL HONOR ROLL!!!!

3:55 pm

hi, pini

3:55 pm

hi pug

3:55 pm

oh no problem Pini, I'm keeping my sense of humor about it and I don't mind people asking (shows you care, which I am grateful for)

4:13 pm

The clue for se 5/12 that was given me earlier today was that it had to do with the psalms

4:13 pm

se5.12 is the hearty h5.12 backwards

4:13 pm

fe5/16 = large food party

Hi Lynxx, I met a bunch of Greyhounds needing rescue today, such nice, and delicate dogs.

4:13 pm

LOL Lynxx, I plan on keeping teulu for about 20 more years.

4:15 pm

Is today a bird icon day? or do most people just have birds?

4:18 pm

aren't they pretty, tempest??? :)

4:18 pm

congratulations Tempest.

but they go away unless you become a pro.

4:18 pm

oh yeah...and even more so cuz i totally had to work for 'em..lol

4:18 pm

Tempest, I hope to make it my first today too. only 7 left.

4:18 pm

dawg, did ya get the al4?

weird - I was so frustrated the other day when I was playing a different online boggle game which didn't accept that se5/12

4:18 pm

nope : [

Goooo QUail Go.

4:19 pm

what do you mean go away? :-(

Hi Takuma.

hiya red!

Noooo, I mean cheering for quail!1!1

4:19 pm

2-weeks of freebie, tempest...then they go away unless you go pro

4:19 pm

You go Quail... I shouldnt have to hog all this giddiness to myself.

4:19 pm

al4/4 = al + **e **e fly

4:19 pm

you can still play, Tempest, but no stats

Tempest, you are probably on your first to weeks, after two weeks unless you pay the very small fee, the tile states and your actual fireworks will go.

4:20 pm

ahh well... as they say...nothing in life is free

4:20 pm

did that help, dawg?

4:20 pm

the small fee is worth it, Tempest

4:20 pm

(and the small fee is for a lifetime)

but this is probably the best deal I have ever found, its like 14.00 for a lifet ime membership and you can get rid of that gray head too.

4:20 pm

would it be shameufl of me to say no?

4:20 pm

and the company is free

4:21 pm

I know it was a cheer. Thanks. I seem to have gotten many of the strange words by repeated guesses, but have needed help on some of the ones I thought I had already guessed.

4:21 pm

not at all, dawg....how about al + cross + pl

4:21 pm

al4.4 abbrev for altitude -plural

4:21 pm

ah there is a TS. a TS5

Takuma, are you boiling up north, I can not believe how Hot it is!!!! Its only May!

thanks DCS, the usual babblet.

4:21 pm

4:22 pm

good afternoon babble friends! breaking my own rule, chatting before NBT, but I am STUCK. Can't make a thing off that o in the last column. Help please?

I believe we hit 95-98 here today.

4:22 pm

4:22 pm

al4/4 = al*ernate*

hi Trif - oa, compound, think breakfast or cookies

4:22 pm

4:22 pm

Usually when its this hot we start having afternoon rains, but I guess the rainmaker forgot. DC, Washington can be Brutal in the summer, muggy no breeze.

4:23 pm

pretty crappy takuma, but thanks for asking

4:23 pm

thanks pinikula, eventually got it.

ugh, I remember DC summers

4:23 pm

4:24 pm

4:24 pm

4:24 pm

goodnight Tempest.

4:24 pm

Thanks, Tempest

Well Pinik, you do live in the wet part of the world.

4:24 pm

I used to live in silver spring, dcseain, so I remember those days well!

ciao tempest

4:24 pm

true, red...we don't tan here, we rust!

I grew up in Silver Spring!

4:24 pm

I think we are going to tell the kids tonight, takuma - if "he" can fit it in his ever so busy schedule

4:25 pm

carynnn, you there?

4:25 pm

I don't want them to have to remember mother's day this way

I''m peeling today from last weeks excursion to Cape Canaveral.

4:25 pm

probably another obvious one, but I need help on ti 5/10

wow - I really hope that goes well. He's sounding more and more like a cad

4:25 pm

I read that "peeing" red!!!

4:25 pm

I might be.

4:26 pm

Silver Spring has changed tons in the last decade. barely recognizable, esp in the downtown area

4:26 pm

ti5 = pl ti4

4:26 pm

heyheyhey

Shoudl I admit that I do that too!

4:26 pm

Ahoy. :)

4:26 pm

I might be a little bit TI5

I grew up in the far reaches of SS - out not far from Columbia

Quail its the pularal of the ti4,4 which is an odd word.

Not much has changed up there

4:27 pm

I am trying to remember the name of my fave restaurant in silver spring....made the best scallops I have ever had - and I grew up in boston!

4:27 pm

Thank you for the help

4:27 pm

Gate house? Green house? something with house it in

4:27 pm

lol seain, re ti5

4:27 pm

ti4 rhymes with not little boy

4:27 pm

Ah yes, that part much the same, takuma

tollhouse

it's on 29 as you get close to downtown

4:27 pm

cookies, takuma?

4:27 pm

Ah, tolllhouse not changed hardly at all.

I was guessing the name of the restaurant trif was trying to remember

4:28 pm

Tollhouse Restaurant was a Tollhouse, and gave it's name to an area around US 29 in Silver Spring MD

4:28 pm

darn, thought you were going to leave some in the PB for us!

lol pini - I am running a big risk by chatting so much, I may end up in the PB yet

Waiting around for PB dregs....

4:29 pm

just don't forget to leave some on the table, takuma! LOL

4:30 pm

the place I am remembering was right on a main street - right near the Metro station, I think

helps with R's I have the plant part, the unusual body alignment thing and PT of that and the tearing one....which one do I miss?

near the SS metro?

I used to live in the highrise right behind that station

4:31 pm

I think so, but I might not be remembering things correctly

there's a diner right there, but I suspect that is *not* your favorite restaurant ;)

4:32 pm

4:52 pm

4:52 pm

How does this Lickety list work? I'm slightly lost.

4:53 pm

BR, that is a mighty troubling icon you have today. YOU okay?

4:53 pm

caryann, it works elegantly. did you have a specific question?

4:54 pm

Cary, you enter words into the box at the top, it will place in the list which is in alpha order. Or you can Bulk Add, see the instructions at the bottom of the list

4:54 pm

I thought the icon expressed the apathy in the world.

4:54 pm

i like the juxtaposition of the strange fruit and the swing

4:54 pm

what does enable have against "ades?" lemonade, limeade, etc.

4:54 pm

Oooh, alright. Thank you Lynxxx.

looks like you arethinking of the fires in Santa barbara areas.

4:55 pm

Enable is insane, trif :)

4:55 pm

hmmm. I do see where you would get that BR. I guess because I am a woman I responded more to the idea that she is swinging away while he is....well, swinging away, I guess.

4:55 pm

yw, and welcome Carynnn

4:56 pm

are all the y words y + vowel?

if you really want to see how insane, you can find a link to the full Enable wordlist in my profile

Hi torgone!

remember at camp when we said we were allergic to it? to be fair, theirs was GROSS

7:26 pm

There is a feral cat in the backyard here, at my aunt & uncle's home, with 5 kittens. I was able to pick one of the babies up this evening. They are living under a shed. I saw them nursing earlier. SO cute.

7:27 pm

My aunt said that the same mother cat has a litter there every spring. I am wondering--should be SPCA be notified or should we leave them alone?

7:27 pm

(((((squee)))))) kittens!

7:37 pm

7:38 pm

Uncle Frank is the first of this generation of parents of me, my sibs, and my cousins to die.

7:38 pm

Min...I am now on Astelin for my sinus/allergies...and I am so happy with it! It tastes horrible in the back of your throat/nose but it sure works GREAT!

Hi to anyone I missed I have a habit of driffting off

*going to stay with Tor for a week*

7:38 pm

His wife, my mother's sister, is 89, and this is tough for her.

7:38 pm

how old is he scrabs

7:38 pm

I love Astelin and Patanase--work great!!

7:38 pm

Is it over the counter car.eeyore? I took an Actifed.

7:39 pm

Im almost out of Actifed, so went out and got Alavert

7:39 pm

No, it is prescription. But it is just amazing the difference it has made for me. And it does not aggravate my headaches/migraines which is even better!

7:39 pm

86, ak. In a Masonic Home, great care on the palliative care unit, with oxygen added today.

7:39 pm

OTC, I have had great luck also with Aleve Cold & Sinus.

7:39 pm

oh i could never take astelin - they have that really annoying commercial makes me want to beat the tv

7:39 pm

I don't like the nasal sprays.I like to take pills instead

7:40 pm

The nasal sprays (Rx) are far more effective than the antihistamines.

7:40 pm

Now, nothing to do but babble and get ti5/16 ..

7:40 pm

86- what a great life to have had. so many changes in the world - i think old people are really neat

7:40 pm

A ti5/16 is how you might feel after too many drinks.

7:40 pm

We just had a huge Italian dinner here with everyone and I am stuffed. There was homemade red wine, but I don't drink.

7:41 pm

A ti 5/16 word is ti 4/5 plus sometimes vowel torgone

7:41 pm

Min, I got the opposite...I was so tired of taking so many pills!

7:41 pm

I agree, ak. How blessed to have lived to 86. My aunt is so angry though, but that is ok for now.

7:41 pm

I know, Min .. I was using it in a sentence ..

7:41 pm

have some wine scrabs and experience the ti 6 first hand

7:41 pm

how many words start with ti- ?

7:42 pm

5 Trif

7:42 pm

5

7:42 pm

4, 5, 4, 6, and 5

7:42 pm

okay, I only have 4, so that is what I am missing. thanks car....

7:42 pm

and kad too~

7:42 pm

Alavert you only take once a day, whereas the other medicines like Actifed I take every 4 - 6 hours or so.

7:43 pm

TY for your input, ak. I will visit my uncle again in the morning. He is on oral pain meds for now. He has metastases in liver, lungs, spine and ? brain.

7:43 pm

i am sure through his wifes eyes he is not 86 but much younger

7:43 pm

greyed the t! woot!'

7:43 pm

Oh, sorry torgone. Okay, guess no clues needed now

7:43 pm

Alavert = loratadine--eneeric

7:43 pm

ya!!

7:43 pm

but generic and save money

7:43 pm

Wow Scrabs. It is nice that the family can be there for him.

7:44 pm

Just not that one, Min .. I still have 122 to go ..

7:44 pm

Clue the word please, Trifs ..

thanks that was driving me nuts

7:44 pm

OOHHHHH GROSSSSSS - Just found another tick crawling up my ankle. That makes two for today. Now I feel like they are all over me....arrrggghhhhh

7:46 pm

Trif--do you do tick checks on one another every night?

Sa 5/16, I was not able to finish the grid in a da 4/6. It took a great de 4/5 of time even though I went to the list at ha 4/8 way. I de 5/12 with nasty allergies today. They came on in afl 5/18.As a result, was not so de 4/8 at the grid. I tried to de 4/10 my allergies by ignoring them & not taking any medicine Finally,I fl4/8 to the store and got Alavert, but it did not he 4/5 my allergies. My nose still dr 5/14 and my he 4/6 is still stuffy. Was unable to taste my fe 5/16 of Chinese food.I hate not being able to taste my me 4/5! I fe 4/7 so much better yesterday. I hope that my allergies don't la4/4 as long as they la 6/21 la 4/4 year.Now with no more words le4/7 to find I am now going to ha 4/5 this se 4/7 pi 4/7. I am off to fl 5/16 my teeth&go to bed.Le4/4 hope I feel better manana
