hi crp
and I thought about your offer, but will pass on the chemainus trip, jill -- it will be the weekend before the summer insanity begins. Still trying to figure out when to bring the boys, up, may end up having to wait until late August after all.
I'm amazed -- never happened before -- had a really wicked sore throat but took antihistamine and Quests
late August would be better for me, stid
Clues are up

LOL
got the en6/7 from the in too
how tall is he now, stid?
thx kaz
still about 5'10... he hasn't grown much (if any) in about four months. Not sure if he is done, or just "resting"
half-hoping he's done...
thanks kaz i got those now
<-- 5'10" * big grin *
right, stid? :)
my guess is resting, lol!
he's how old now?
Yes pini -- HUGELY TALL *wicked mama grin* and very handy when I need things off the top shelf.
Pinik is that P a letter from a keyboard(your icon)?
won't tell in public, jill... will email.
yes, mlf
what I wouldn't give to be that tall, heck I would settle for5' 5"
ok
cute Pinik
* giggle * you've got that right, stid!!!
thx mlf ;)
yw:)
It's not all it's cracked up to be, mcurl
My man's up and getting ready to go to his 4 day work course away now, but not allowing me to speak to him, cos I'm tired and pissed.
well when you are only 5' ; tall looks good!
my 14 yr old is almost 6ft 2"...i have to stand on a step to get a hug now lol
lol
So, I will sit her and quietly work away at the new grid until I can go to bed.
oh my, kaz -- does tall run in the family?
okay, ages send.
ty stid :)
why are you mad, jac?
Okay this is pathetic i am stalled at 39
WOW kaz! I don't think I could handle my child being THAT tall. I suspect this one will top out at 6 foot. The other is done at 5'2 (long story)
hubby is 6 ft 5 jilli
*drawing safe border marker around Jacula and tiptoeing carefully around making tea*
I have 3 brothers (1 older, 2 younger): 6'0", 6'4", 6'3" respectively
my dad and one my bro's are over 6ft
i dont think my son is finished growing yet..costing me a fortune in clothes and shoes lol
I'm the tallest girl
stid what kind of tea?
I can proudly say that I am the shortest one of 6 kids
Yep. pini's about the tallest girl in any room! *ducks flying objects*
militiary brat, mcurl?
rotfl stid
I was the shortest in my family -- didn't even quite get as tall as my mother (until she started to shrink)
in 7, en 7
* ahem * you little squeaker, stid!
go nan go!!!
nope, if you are referring to my icon, that's the plane my son flies on.
2 more words and i'll be half way and can go to bed
I'm 2nd oldest of 6...
go kaz go
I think your son flew over my house this evening, mcurl, they're running "low and slow" drills all day.
i am the youngest
Kaz No fair!
I wish, he's based in florida soon to be in NM though. Can't wait for June so I can meet him there
has the 8 been called?
whereabouts are you, mcurl?
it will be so great to have him closer, mcurl!
not yet, nan... is it your'n?
no -- just wondering
she's close enough to be in on our next Powell's excursion if she wishes, pini!
ok 70 found...lights out for me!! night all :)
(hint, hint) if you're interested, that is, mcurl!
night kaz
absolutely stid, much better than clear cross country.
awesome, stid!!!
sweet dreams Kaz!
i have the dr 8 nan
YES! NBT!!!! (thank you thank you MLF and nan)
Powell's excursion??????
oh boy 40 owrds now lol
ty kaz -- got it
and thanks for the 8, Kaz!
and on that note!!
yes mcurl -- pini and I got together in March at Powell's.
would be happy to carpool with you next time we go if you want.
Can't do anymore am out bye
WHY did it take me this long to think "roman attire" *sigh* must be tired.
I'm having my usual slow start
we had fun browsing through powell's and lunching at pf chang's
sweet dreams MLF
night mlf
bye mlf
Ok, I'm going to admit I don't know what/where that is and claim it's because I'm so stinking far south in this wonderful state of ours, Stid.
I've had msnbc on -- very distracting.
how far south are ya?
Powell's is the BIG bookstore in Portland, mcurl! AND the rare book room (went with Mother a few weeks back) is REALLY amazing.
that's my excuse for a lame brain
I hadn't been there before, but I think it may be my favorite place now, mostly because things are so insanely expensive that I saved a lot of money spending all my time there! LOL
too funny, stid ;)
HALFWAY!!!
Pini is technically closer to Powell's than I am, but I think further west a bit.
wtg stid!
TY, Stid; That sounds like an interesting place; and yep you would pass by my neck of the woods on your way. Should try sometime.
I'm about 2 hours directly south...
(of portland)
Pini; near salem?
Well, if you want, please send me an email, and I will let you know when next I am headed in that direction. I was thinking maybe one of the Saturdays in June...
need one of the lower E's for NBT
south of salem, mcurl
oops. now I am one PAST halfway, and really should start the essay that is due in class tomorrow.
(((hugs all))) I hope you all enjoy the grid, and see you soon!
*poof*
tell me, too, stid! (just not the 6th -- graduation -- or the 13th -- dau's baby shower)
hmmm, stid, that might be wise!
spent many summers, as a kid just a tad north of Salem on the Willamette river in Wheatland (where the ferry crosses the river).
night stid!
night stid
night stid
don't know of that ferry, mcurl...the Willamette is near to me, but I live about 4-5 blocks from the McKenzie
90 down -- see you tomorrow :)
night nan
Pini, it's kind of out of the way but in the middle of tons of orchards, crop fields, etc. Closest "town" is McMinville. You should check it out sometime---great area--very peaceful.
sounds lovely!
night nan
unfortunately, I should be off to bed for tonight...
see everyone tmw!! :)
Later pini..
be well, Pini, my friend
night pini -- hi babrab
good evening, jilli
how was your day, jilli?
very nice, thanks, babrab -- sunny, happy gardening, visit from neighbours for happy hour (plus their cat I'll be housing in July and August when they're away)
How was your day, babrab?
a wet day here. thunderstorm now. flood warning. No acute distress. a forgetable day but not that bad
thunderstorms are really rare here
Looks to be dry here, a gardening day, I hope.
have not had any really warm days. the birds are getting blown around
my garden is ablaze with colour just now
Just managed to get back to pc after Other Half whizzing about getting ready for his 4-day course away.
fireworks
YAY anike!!!
congrats, anike
My garden would be ablaze with colour if the slugs and snails hadn't eaten most of what I'd planted.
hooray, anike!!! and hi, all! Late getting in here.
Well done, anike,
hi rbud :)
Hello rbud.
ty all - bit early for clues isn't it? I had better go and do some housework unless anybody needs a quick clue.
am I the only one posting a 9-letter animal?
Probably jilli. Is tht today's icon theme?
Mine's a chihuahua, doesn't that count? ;)
OK I'm off - til tomorrow then - bye
jac, the icon themes for the next few days are animals with 9, 10, 11 and 12 letters -- fun to look for
sure, rbud -- I guess I should refresh!
bye, anike!
dear little chap, rbud!
bye anile
anyojne found the 8 yet?
haven t even found the 7 yet
yes, ruru -- dr8/55
dr8--sounds like a wee dr6
actually it's a fish -- really
ugh thanks
roue
self-description, ruru?
roue roue.. that is my name
lol
right column grey now
NBT at last
the I in the corner is driving me nuts
it's 5-letter babblet, ruru
that's the right corner I
have that one.. need the left I
that's where you put your pet bird
Other Half's driven off now, not in a direction we cioould see one abd other abd wave to. Well, years now, no romance?
thanks
or if you want to be anonymous you go in***nito
wow.. jilli thanks... you are cooking tonight
Not with at that;s gone on, I guess (he told her parents etc. today about itall) and with me being awake and still drining white wine, No, I guess not. No rmance.
yw, but I've come to a halt :(
And I can't type now, so I should leave.
what do you mean jac?
aw, (((((Jac)))))
lol, jac!
hi all!
hiya, Dee!
hi dee hi!
jac are you okay?
Jillli knows, ruru. LOL
hugs jili; hi rbud ru
okay.. worried me for a second
hi dee
jac is up late and giddy
slightly overwined, jac?
no such thing jilli
Hi all. Bottom two lines grayed.
of course not, ruru
wtg mixi, lol
No, not really okay, but I will be okay. Boyh of my kids eventualy grew up and I had begun to settle back and wait for Grandmotherdom. Then, EEK! I was presented with a screwed up 14-year-old who loves me, but I'm not her Mum. Eaarly mornings, packed lunches to go to school, nagging a teenager again. Wasn't expecting that but I'm going to get it.,
Such is life.
oh .. holy cow..
three important wors there -- "who loves me"
you are a saint
And, as I said before, it is her mother's loss ad my gain in the end. What a shame her mother coudn't hack it past 14 for her only child.
I'mnot a saint., I m a rockmusic loving 'sinner'! But I'm a faithful partner and mother.
I'm just human being trying to do the best I can.
And if I stay up and get drunk sometimes, please forgive me.
a very loving and lovable human being from what I can see Jac...
Hello everyone
no problem jac.. you are allowed to be you here
I was lit a little earlier too..lol
Hey,ruru, I'm still one of the top ranking Babblers, LOL
HIUlynxxx
no doubt about that..
Not sure if I will be able to do Bble, blog,etc., when I become a full-time Mum again. Do my best though.
I sure hope so.. you are one of the most fun people here
Thanks, ruru. That made me smile.
*runs in hugs jac runs out* back in a bit!
You should read the ironic humour in my blo.
I second ruru
*blog
Thabks Ata and Jilli. This site is the best ever since I got on the net in 2003.
It's people like you who make it so, jac
And people like you, Jilli.
aw shucks
I just heard a noise in my front porch. It's too early for the post so I'm taking bets on wethet it's a pizza leaflet, or a charity bag.
I have 60 left and have to go to bed -- happy babbling all and good night
goodnight Jilli
night, jilli!
hi
hi Josh
Oh! That was a surprise! It was the paper boy, early for once ( he must have an exam to get to or revise for)
nbt
help on the e in the 4th column for nbt
exclamation eg4/7 without the s, dee
eg4 x 2
ty so much nbt
ty rbud
He's obvously not a druggie like the last one was. He turns up before school, doesn't get his Mum to do the deliveriesmore than twice a week, and actually delivers the right paper, sees we areall asleep adnd so quietly delivers it into the porch rather than through the letterbox AND closesthe dor quietly behind him.
now that's a pretty good paperboy!
I must check what his name is and make sre I tip him at Xmas, if he's still working there.
lol, that brings back memories, my son must have got a puncture in his bike tyres every single day when he did the paper round. I was always ferrying him around in the early morning frost
same here, our daughter had a route, "ewww, Mom, too cold, can you drive me?" lol!
Lunxx - SSSHHHH is the golden rule for paprerboys.
oops, off to the PB for the co4, haven't been there in a while!
Though my heart broke when, as a 9 year old, he knocked on the door at about 6.30am dripping wet with rain and crying. It was only his second day out. But he bravely refused help and went back out to it. His first purchase was a toy gun! so much for never giving him one as a small child
The one's that screeech up the drive on over pumped up bike tiress, whilst yelling into the mouthpiee of their bluetooth phones, then yanking open the porch dor and lobbing the paper in, and then not quite shutting the porch door properly, so it bangs to and fro in the wind, qare the worst kind.
halfway
augh, what a nightmare, Jac!
and go josh go!
;ynxxx = boys want guns andwill makethem from small twigs, branches or trees, depending on what size gun they want, whatever you do.
Boy next door to me when I was growing up, was a bit younger than me but wanted a veg patch to tend and water jike mine, He set some seeedling up on the knotty roots of he oak tree at the top of his garden abd peed on them to water them.
bet that didn't work, huh? ;p
rofl...didn't anyone tell him that only works on lemon trees
Which reminds me of what my Godfather said about his time in a Japanese POW - they were meantto look after the veg patches for the soldiers. They ped on them to water them.
small victories, ha!
Where was the camp Jac?
Water was free then, so all his Mum and Dad had to do was give him a watering can to fill. Mine didm his didn't.
lynxxx - I don't know. He never rsaid anything about it really..
I've never tried looking his war record up on the net. Maybe I should? Reginald Symonds.
Ut doesn't sound like a hero's name, does it? But I think he was. I know he got my Dad through a lot and taught him how to build and make stuff for hs home and family.
He was your Dad's mate because of the War?
has anyone seen huga?
No! He went through the war got a house and found my Dad (had been a soldier in the REME BUT TOO YOUNG FOR ww2) NEXT DOOR TO HIM. They were neighbours abd then friends.
not lately, Dee.
I have been worried about her
was something happening Volley?
I lovedmy Godfather next door. I had another Godfather, as the Chruch required, that lived next door but one to my Reg. He never took any interest in me, and neither did his wife ,m who was my gGodmother.
had she said anything about being gone for a bit? I thought maybe she did, but not sure.
not that I remember, which is why I was worried about her
I sure hope so rbud; if you see her before I do, please tell her I was thinking of her
Worrying when people go AWOL. Sandy from West Aust has not been on of late eiuther
will do, Dee.
I totally understand the feeling lynxx
Norman and Marian, my Godmother and Giddfather, who lived next door but one to my Godfather, Reg, and his wife Ruth, who weere my 2nd Mum and Dad, were flatesmates in the same house as my parents lived in when they first married and had me.
Sorry, Marrianne. So go all Leonard Cohen there. Maybe that's why I can't stand that song - she srank.
BBS must get the dinner going
stank, I meant. Ans her son hd some disorder thayt made him shit down his trouser legs in the street on on our carpets frequently, and then, once, most memorably, unfortunately, out of his mouth,.
Obviously a good moment to say good morning all :-) Some of us are eating breakfast, Jac!
Oops! Sorry Saly.
fireworks
np. Sounds horrific.
may I help anyone before I leave?
Not for me Dee, only just started.
ok no takers, so I am pooooofing til the flip; hugs to all!!!
It does sound horrific. I must look up what disorder that was soe time.
have a great day /eve *poof*
oops, missed Dee's fireworks, late congrats and g'nite!

hi Elder
hello Lynxxx :)
hey all
Hello bfsog.
hi elder hows things
bfsog, Fine here and how are you?. It seems a long time since I last saw you.
yeah, i do come in now and again. I am fine thanks
hi bfsog
hey lynxxx
I think Scotland should have a sunny day today.its over cast and a bit chilly here in the south east.
yeah its not bad here, a bit cloudier than yesterday and monday but still bright
Those 'C's
Hello. It's raining here in west London.
Hello Hydra... looks like it might be coming this way .
Hope not, elder!
... but its looks grim out there.
Hydra. Ages since I have seen you. How are you ?.
Not too bad, thanks. Had a lot of trouble with my stomach ulcers but feel a bit better today. How about you?
In the middle of root canal treatment too, so have been feeling a bit sorry for myself! Still, in a month I should have my new (and very expensive) crown.
hummff...send the west london rain little further west please
Stomach ulcers ,they are so painful. I am fine thank you.
Why? Does your garden need some, rolin?
Rolin Hello, you want rain? I know it's been dry, over the last month or so but you know when it comes it does not know when to stop.:)
Where have all our friends from other countries gone? It seems to be an all-British chat just now!
Hydra. Lynxxx - from Australia is here and others may be lurking.
Is it just me, or is this a tough grid? I've only found 30 words so far!
38 now.
they are sneaky.. hiding.:) so far so good, just slow.
I like sneaky. Makes it a little more interesting.
Apart from one c ( yet to find ) nothing too taxing but they took me ages.
Have you finished then, elder?
Apart from that c, I mean?
Oh No. have 94 . I was just talking about the C's to give you hope :)
I see I have 14 more c's to find. 14!!!!
Does your photograph include you Hydra.
I'm on the right, my daughter on the left. It was taken at my 6oth birthday party, theme Summer of Love. I had found my daughter shortly before then. I had to get her adopted as a baby.
I am guessing, you are on the right of the picture.
Correct!
How special for you and daughter, she looks like you her nose and mouth.
It's a lovely photograph and more happy times to come.
It was very, very special. She's lovely. She works as a psychic, does the tarot. She's at www.psychicdevon.co.uk
When we met, it was as if we'd always known one another. We talked all day and all night.
It is grand when it works out so well, after so many years. I am pleased for you both.
Thank you, elder! Must dash now. Back later.
Bye for now Hydra.

my day's winding down... will go to bed for the day in a couple of hours
dr8 tiny firebreather
Good day everyone.
I took Bisky to get groomed yesterday and they had day-old kittens there. They rescued them from a feral cat
How sweet! I miss those stray kittens that I befriended over the weekend, but at least I know they will be rescued.
Is Bisky happy and comfortable despite having cardiac problems?
The groomer was feeding them every two hours! Not for me.
Actually Scrabs [and thanks for asking] I was shocked to find out this as he is a very active dog. We go on hikes and he has no problem
It is a lot of work to rescue animals, especially babies.
Yay for Bisky. Keep him happy! My old girl, Bunny Callie died a year ago May 10th. She had a great life.
Bisky's dad lived a long time too [not our dog]. He's our last dog so I want to keep him as long as we can
hi Scrabbler, bichon... sorry I didn't greet sooner, I was deep in the grid
Hi metal
Hey metal, how goes it
life in general is good. the grid is problematic, lol
It's lots better than yesterday's
I have hit the wall with just 39 found.
You're 8 better than me
lacs
My monkey is working hard now
sorry
Great clue, metal, ty!
that's the result of not supervising the monkies closely enough
Bad monkies!
With all of your outdoor activities Scrabbler, do you have a favorite brand of trail food?
I'm looking into dehydrated and/or freeze-dried foods for long term storage
Not really. I pack snacks--nuts, energy bars. I don't camp out overnight so I do not buy the dehydrated stuff. For day camping/cooking we pack what we want.

I am happy for you, Hurshy. Isn't it nice when everything seems just right.
good morning everyone
Bichon I just clued it to scrabbs/
Bichon, my bunnies each have a ca4
at 6:22...
Past tense it.
Hi cwossy.
well, i wouldn't go that far, sc... i just had a really good dream, which compensates for everything.
ty red
hi crossy :)
Dreams are fascinating, especially lucid dreaming. Now for me,I slept very poorly last night--maybe 3-4 hrs total.
Hi mrp
it's funny how dreams can often affect your emotions more than real things that happen.
hi scrabbs!
i'm sorry you didn't sleep well :(
I personally never have very good dreams, they always involve not good things.
Dreams help us to solve problems, although not always consciously.
I had a very busy day yesterday, including a 4 hr mtg of the office docs, so there was too much in my head.
This grid is a bit more nice that yesterdays.
I often see my dad in my dreams. A good thing. Then there's the dreams when I'm unclad in public
i used to have terrible ones, in addition to regular ones, but since getting on the clonaz i don't have the really horrid ones anymore.
I kept reviewing the mtg, thinking of what was said
Public nudity, Bichon? Do you feel a need to express yourself publically?
I often have redundant ones. Really ridiculous
I have the same dream often, either I am being chased by Indians through my home town....not very scary any more...
I don't know about that, but it is silly
i dremt that i had a bunch of pet baby frogs,and there was this red bird that hid tween my toes and when i wasnt looking,he/she would eat one of the baby frogs and go back to hiding tween my toes:/:)..mm dont know if i was neeked at the time:)
I have repeated dreams too--same places.
Or I dream that I am sleeping at the Hospital and some patient is not doing well and I am unable to ambulate to the patient.
I dream that we sell our current house and move back to our old one. Really silly as we didn't have a dishwasher in our old one
i have silly ones too - one in which i escaped from a dormitory on fire, then rolled down a hill of spaghetti to reach my family and inform them that i had gotten out all right.
I still have high school dreams--cannot remember combination of lock, cannot open locker, or not being ready for an exam.
no dishwasher! nightmare!
Interesting Bichon, dream that into reality for my home. Please.
Or where I have parked the car
A hill of spaghetti?
a hill of spaghetti.
what sauce did you use?
I would love a hill of spaghetti.
I also dream that I have been sent back to med school to re-take a course and no one cares that I have been practicing for 20 yrs.
standard marinara sauce was involved.
But it would be messy...
Only if it's linguini
Haha, crossy & hurshy
Bisky has urgent needs poof
yeah, sc, sometimes i dream that i have to go back and re-do senior year of HS, even though i have college degree. is odd.
And I urgently need to shower and leave.
i have this dream of bunny bacon sammies:)
Me too, hurshy,probably because I feel so uneducated in some areas--literature, history, as I focused on math & science.
nightmare, crossy

Anyone seen, or going to see 'Star Trek'?
I've seen Star Trek and thought it was very good - from a non ST fan
I need to go. just been tryig to save cash.
I was a Fan of ST the new Generation. Not a big fan of the 1960s show, or of the "enterprise" series.
Personally, I thought it was one of my top three films of 2009 so far.....along with 'Slumdog' and 'The Wrestler'
hi all, just weighing in on Star Trek. My husband has seen it twice and our son once so far. They thought it was very good
OK, so with that recomendation,Movie I need to reallyget out there.
Oh yes, turtle!!!!!!!
OK, I am signing away for a bit, I am back into the training at the gym today, must admit not Rally looking forward to it...
Pooof.

and hello everyone
ty annie... and hello
eva, which I and E?
I am missing one of the i's myself.
morning annie of brooklyn, and THANKS! (thanks mom too!)
what does the 8 start with?
from the left hand column
hi mom and trif
one of the e's is e + right away
the in 6 and 7 are the same as the en 6 & 7... think what animals are kept in at the zoo with the two different beginnings and then add the past tenses for both and you will have all 4.
en + to enclose
whoo! thanks mom2!
yvw
TY, hadnt even seen the enclosure...its a blind kinda morning...
the other is en + beginning of bullfighter's cheer and its plural.
thanks, mom2
np... if anyone has the other "i", I will happily take it, LOL!
the one from the top right? i + cheer word + past tense in reverse
is it an io word?
ir
omg... no the one from the top left, LOL!
i think mom meant the other i word from the left tile...?
what does the 8 start with? please
i dont have it...thats what i nee for NBS :)
dr 8/55 little firebreather
hmmm, thanks, Kate...will search
ahh
Kate, great clue, thanks
thats both NBT and NBS for me! :) thanks kate!
yw
I know NBT, what's NBS?
no blank stats
NBT is someting entered in each tile, and NBS is ???
hello all
I am assuming that NBS is something entered in the Tile Stats below
hi lindy
morning all * yawn *
hi pini
Not sure, but sounds like NBT and NBS mean the same thing?
where do you see nbs and nbt?
I am blind
No, nbs means not all 7 letters, 6 letter, 5 lettes, etc. found
mom...would NBS mean you've completed the grid then?
* confused now, too *
that ow 4/8 is making me crazy...I have the bird...need the other one..any clues?
yes if they were all greyed, LOL.
Today there are 2 words that have 7 letter... I have both of them so my 7 "stat" is greyed, or "blanked".
oc4 (like a killer whale without a hook)
me, too, mom...
pini, I have that one ..need the ow 4/8, I have the bird
Oh, I get it!!! NBS refers to Word Stats (I think)
yes.
I think there is only one ow word.
where do you see nbs?
ow4/8 = bird (night, barn, big eyes)
as... someone said no nbs before and I was explaining what that meant.
EvaNadine @ 8:28
ok, I see
annie...maybe I'm on the wrong O...are you looking for the top left or lower right?
mom, so there is only one ow4...thanks for pointing that out..no wonder I couldnt find a word that doesnt exist..dense me
pini, I am looking for a nonword..dont mind me
well, alrighty then ;)
pini, thanks for looking for me though

Oops ..

bet you got dressed in a hurry
no - still in bed
I have to teach at 1 and decided to prep from home
you mean cl 5/14?
cl5 - clear
no, the one after that one
If you do, add a vowel to 'yer 4....
then 2 cl 5/12's
cl5 - exact copy
ac5?
I have 2 cl6/12, but it says there is a cl5/14 also
is it wrong?

ac = a + a common co**
cl + first 3 letters of archer's projectile, minus an r?

never mind, I monkeyed it
Good morning/afternoon all.
Hi Hazel, just came in for a bit before I run out to do grocery shopping
Thanks for asking, Annie, it helped me!
Grocery shopping - the dread of my week. How are you?
I am doing okay...and you and dear Spangle?
We're both well, thanks. We're appreciating some drier, warmer days.
La Glitteratina!
hi all
hi Atalante
Ata! And Hobbitella! And TO! Three exclamation marks in one paragraph, my, my.
Hi Owl
Not three whole !!! !!!
La Hobbitna, la spangletina nd la glittery flyiny nun that is Annie. And good afternoon Haz and Ata, TO et al!!!
the grammar police will get you.
Three! You must excercise self control
Three. And me that's so sparing as well.
Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Haz! Annieeeeeeeeeeeeee!! TOOOOOO!
Here's FM as well!
George Clooney had better not log on now or we're doomed.
Ah, FM is here!!!!!!
LOL Ata has OD's on punctuation, oh my!
LOl just out of 4 hour lecture on reverse supply chains, wh ich apparently are new to the EU.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY YY!
I'm allowed to. You're all here!!!
((Annie)) long time hun :)
Reverse supply chains - you must explain to us poor European ignoramuses.
As much as I am enjoying this lunacy I must go food shopping. Bye, my dear babblers
LOL TO schools out!
how are your half-naked men, FM?
LOl and britain will be the first as it was told
*lip quiver* was it something I said??? *sob*
Bye Annie (remind me to get Annie looked at soon. She prefers grocery shopping to chatting with us)
*chokes on pizza* fm has half naked men> why not all naked?
So what's going to happen, TO? What's going to go into reverse?
FM has standards.
She lives in As5.
I am very happy to report that they are not using the scaffold tower outside my window to access the roof.
What are they doing instead?
well it is a concept completely foreign to us. anow you can vailidate if the prof knows his stuff or is bullling us
Using the one by the front dorr so they can flaunt toeverone that comes and goes
ooh iMUST get that new roof soon !;)
I've certainly heard of reverse supply chain things
I hate men that flaunt. So unbecoming.
TO believe me, these 'men' are not worthy of you
Trust Ata! Who else in Britain would have heard of reverse supply thingies? No wonder she's smug.
Even their wolf whistles are slightly out of tune *sheesh*
well appaentlt the concept of retail returns like we have here is not practicied, here, if you buiy somehting and it does not work you return to the retailer. also if you buy something you can change your mind and return for any reason w/-in a certain number of days.
like Coca-Cola picking up used bottles and recycling them etc
So it's more of the retailer being of service to the consumer?
BUT with the intro of big box retailers into EU, like our Best Buys and others, the concept will come with them
To really? we have been able to do that over here for ages.
aHA!!! got him!
Has TO shot someone?
he said in belgium he could not. the thing does not work, take it up with the guy who makes it.
I *think* basically it's literally handling the reverse supply chain (well duh!) so anything that goes from the consumer to the retailer and / or the producer. and the dynamics and economics of that
lol Haz
LOL no go thte prof dead to rights, his info a tad outdated. I mean , no retail returns. as if you are uncivilized.
In general, under the Trades Description Act or something, you can return goods if they are faulty, or not according to description or not up to standard. Some retailers will let you return stuff as long as it hasn't been worn, just because you change your mind.
Belgium might be a seperate case but their chocolates make up for everything.
Marks and Spencer has been to the forefront of making it easy for people to return things.
I think it has to be fit for the purpose for which it was sold..
M&S made it an art form
but if you just change your mind?
True, FM, you can't criticise anything about Belgium. Not when they created those chocolate shells.
then it depends on the seller
do you mean guylian?
they don't have any obligation to take it back, but a lot will
eew that was not quite what I was thinking HAz
Yes, TO, if you just change your mind. You can buy stuff in Marks and Spencer, try it on at home if you want and return it within 6 months, no problem.
Depends on retailer. Though for good will some will give credit note but not refund
The ones, TO.
Hi spanner
Hi all. Just popped by for 10
So, just saunter past that prof and whisper three words. marks And Spencer.
sorry all we see that brnad continually in dicounters, but have no frame of reference to know if good or bad.
and amazon are pretty good too
I find lately I play the grid less and watch the chat more LOL
You mean you've turned into an interested observer, spanner?
Nice to see you then spanner :)
and he will say i said ( ) and ( ) were beginning to do that...i just cannot remember the parent company names
meaning ow4+1 cannot remember
well let us know if you need any help with your 'homework' then T *grin*
I wonder what he would make of the old-fashioned custom over here (in Ballymena)? If you're a long-standing customer in some clothes shops, they're willing to let you take out quantities of stuff 'on approbation'. No money changes hands until you've made up your mind.
no homework. gradutaion today! then baseball game tomorrow afternoon!
Oh b*gger. Got to go - my mother has thrown up over dog
Oh well yay then!!!
wow. that's usually the other way round/
Poor dog. Poor mother. Poor spanner.
oh my, spanner
Anybody any tips on how to clean up dog?
Hobbit is a smug dog. She had a pack of cocktail sausages from M&S for breakfast yesterday
Was Hobbit supposed to have said cocktail sausages?
yep! I was on my way home from sister's, and needed to get her some breakfast ...
left i is taunting me
no clues today ?? wahhhhhhhhhh!!!
I'm sure she was grateful, Ata. Poor Spangle gets leftover sausages only.
oooh nice breakfast.
so does Hobbit normally!
umm sammysmom licketys clues are up.
is she sparkling now?
TO, think of enclosed animals for two of those i.
Have been since the flip, you might need to clear you cache or refresh.
ty
she was certainly grateful and very drooly!
haz my icons are groundhogs. but much nicer looking than your average.
tried redoing the lickety list and it stil comes up as uyesterdays;s hmmmmmmm
Yes, I treasure your description of groundhogs as being big waddly things with big teeth.
isn't that a spaniel?
if they are not o none's yard, they make one laugh out loud.
Are they noisy things?
TO your typing is getting as bad as mine usually is!
I still think they have a way to go before they can match the warthog for ugliness.
blame FM, TO
and baboon bottoms
Oh thank you ATa! Thought I had finally managed to get rid of that mill stone!
and naked mole rats
Yes, that FM is a one. First she flaunts her workmen, then she criticises your typing.
hahahaha AS IF!!!!!!
no. they chirrup at times and they whistle when threatened.
Whistle when threatened? That sounds like old fashioned British policemen.
lol
'Being beaten up here. Best blow my whistle'
I never flaunted THE workmen, in fact I abhored them! If the had been half way decent I would have kept them for myself.
I had 3 half naked workmen, of which 1 was presentable
I'm worried that FM may be too choosy. She's rejected every courier I've ever sent and now British workmen, the pride of our nation, the backbone of the workforce, are rejected as well.
I wonder what she'd say if Peter Andre turned up?
hopefully she'd run
careful or evaN will show up and talk about crack. and i don't mean the drug.
I don't know. Would you not shelter him from the pursuing press, FM?
:D
I'd not shelter him. I'd shelter Jordan, cos I'd get more for the story
that WAS her fav peeps remember the plumber? evaN: love ya
FM is either answering the phone or checking that one of the workmen isn't Peter Andre.
or fainted at the sight of Mr Andre
Is she lurking, TO? Or can we speak freely?
ok i have 47 to go but they will not be done until thi sevening, maybe. have fun all! nice to see you.
bye TO!
so who will get kicked out tonight, Haz?
Nice to see you as well, TO - and tell the prof that your European contacts are far better sources of information than him.
Apart from FM kicking out Peter Andre?
no she is hvaing her portrait done no doubt! ooohe she will kill me for that little joke!
Sorry, had some emails I had to attend to. Peter Andre does not do it for me.Just call me very choosy.
I want rid of Debra.
I suppose Ben should stay in for hatred value
And Ben, of course, if only to restore some pride.
ooh is it you version of survivor?
The Apprentice
Mind you, we had English visitors a week or so ago who didn't realise that Ben was from here.
It's The Apprentice, TO, British style. The greatest collection of headcases you've ever seen.
oh our is over. joan won. she should have fired her when she left no fair.
Joan being Joan 'I cannot move my face' Rivers?
i mean you can't just QUIT then decide to come back.
yep
OH I see I am going to have to watch tonight just to keep up!
No, it's against all the laws of reverse supply chains, isn't it? Leaving and then coming back.
LOL
ooh fm are you all ag5/22 after viewing workmen?
I *loved* Nick last week when he just said "Pantsman?"
Do you think 'attending to e-mails' is a cover story, TO?
sounds dubious to me.
Absolutely, Ata. Have you seen the spoof legomen versions of the Apprentice on youtube?
oooooo no! I will go and look later
I'll try to find them later for you.
count me out. no mor spoof of brit tv for me. :/
I would wish to be TO if they were worth getting all ag5 about
Wouldn't you know it? Husband arrived home and nothing ready for tea. He SAID he was going to be late.
uh oh...
I'd better get something cooking. Back later!
typical!
is tea a snack?
dinner
No, it's a meal.
tea is tea, high tea or dinner depending on time!
oh. last meal of day?
most likely
*waves forlornly at HAz wooshing off to the kitchen*
ok must go- bye---*poof*
Bye TO
you must smell, FM :)
t's you dear but I didn't know how to tell you :)
*waves back to fm and ata*
can't be. I'm smug.
Exactly!! Too much smug causes a fugg
granddad never had a problem!
LOL
Have you never heard of 'Albert's Aroma?'
5 minute reprieve....
LOL :)
brb hobbit wants to go out
'Albert's Aroma?
Yes, the smell of grandad.
Since we all know that Einstein was Ata's grandfather.
Oh in which case we should bottle it and sell it for a fortune!
The only problem is that I think these celebrity perfumes have maybe had their day.
And I may be wrong but marketing 'Albert's Aroma' might be difficult.
The smell of Libraries and brains? The hint of the IQ and the intellectual behind the ears?
Yes, exactly.
We'd be running the risk of not fulfilling the promise if we said it would make you brainy.
LOL and on that note I must away to the sparking kitchen for dinner. TTFN and Happy Babbling.
Sparking kitchen?
outrageous. hobbit wanted food. she had sausages only yesterday!
don't turn the gas on!
You've spoiled that dog, Ata.
OK sparkling - :)
That's better. It would be a shame if sparking led to the sparkling kitchen going on fire.
Enjoy dinner, FM!
at least she has men outside to help her
:) *poof*
True.
D turned up early the other evening
Or is she angling to be rescued by firemen?
and when I hadn't factored him into dinner plans (cos he said he would be much later)
I got an hour long lecture about Jewish dinner traditions and then he stormed off after informing me I was completely hopeless!
Stony silences ever since?
yep. until sister broke the car door.
then I got blamed for that too LOL
Wasn't FM available?
obviously not. outrageous.
You should complain.
she vanished just in time
Well, five minute reprieve is over. I must head to the kitchen to rustle up something. Enjoy the Apprentice!
Bye!
you too!
hi all 87 left nbt
hi cherly
could not get on at first, as our net was down

ick
Hi All. How is all?
fine now red, internet is repaired
can i get help with the e's please all of them lol
sorry lynn only have 2 so far
anyone?
Ata lante, your icon day is today but even you dont have the correct icon, and neither do I. I thought it was 7 letter animals.
one is eg 4 and en 6
I hate it when stuff goes down Cherly.
oh! I have my firebird up from the other day :)
en and what you put a zoo animal in
I liked that theme too.
it's 9 letter animals today. I have firebirdS :):)
ty cheryl
good save atalante, even with hamsters, I have the wrong one...
only know the eg word from british mysteries as a sort of euphanism
But alas, I am too tired to change again, so we will have to look at my rodentia.
haave a haamsters
Lololol
I think I'll keep my firebird for a while
hello babble friends! just a quick afternoon pop in. Babbling is SO MUCH harder now that my laptop went to heaven!
hi trif
hey there cherl
hi trif
hi ata! I was very ata smug about something the other day, but now forget what it was (typical). It is a good feeling though!
LOL :):)
how do you spell the post thingy at the end of a stair rail?
newel
thanks phae. And rats!
hi phae
i changed my icon but it didnt take
hi
I love your icon, cherly! it looks so serene and peaceful!
r-a-t-s
I can see the armadillo.
hello tor, and thanks for the FB note!
Sometimes you have to refresh cherly.
ok, think it worked now
fireworks
huzzah for phae!
yay phae!
congrats Phaeton, Atalante is having a soecial icon for you atm.
what a challenge...i have no speed on my connection so entering words was hit and miss!
wtg phae
Hey if anything i have will help you, you're welcome to it/them ..
Have fun Babbling! Thank you all!
thanks tor! making the next decision is hard, but I am wading through
has anyone seen movieman today?
very briefly, earlier
We talked of Star Trek.
hi
the new one, red? have you seen it? how was it?
hi johs
josh, even
I have not seen it yet but the babble opinion is thats its very good.
Hello Mr Vorbis
It's pretty awesome
I guess the idea is to make something very new, leaving aside the old ideas of the franchise, which might be good, I guess
tor, what age kids would you allow to see it?
I was a big Fan of Star Trek the New Generation with Picard, not too fanly of anything else.
star trek, the celestial trail of unfulfilled wishes
My sister saw Star Trek last week, she said she had never slept more during a movie. Her hubby had to nudge her because she was snoring
ga6 please for fireworks? sorry but gotta fly...
hi br
second star to the right, and straight on through til morning...still love that one
All but the smallest .. There's a lot of violence and action but I don't think any naughty language
I'm kind of curious about the movie, but I was a Next Generation fan, not the original
hello all!
grabbing list with 69 to go...
thanks tor. I think the bigger challenge will be getting a 12 yo girl interested in seeing it.
Hello, Cheryl
LOVE your icon, jess!
Well tri, just remind her that all the 12 yr old boys will be talking about it.
no naughty language? then what's the point? *sad face* seems most "popular" movies have to have bad language and a lot of sex and violence
Thanks tri!
It's a lot of fun .. If you like action/science fiction type movies
I don't think she talks to any of them either, red, and thank god.
I want to take the children this weekend if I can. Maybe tomorrow night.
BR, I am TOTALLY in love with you today - your Norman Mailer quote ROCKS
sorry don't have the ga 6 yet
that is probably good. The other option is to give her a soda ....
There is a little almost sex
our babysitter in puerto rico let us stay up to watch star trek in 1970... I was hooked on that series instantly
like almost pregnant?
LOL red!
that's fine tor. Don't mind that as much as the killing
ga 6 -- fuel and start of word for europe asia africa
this grid was so nice, but now I have 42 left and no so nice.
ty br
ooh. great clue BR! thanks!
There's not a lot of explicit killing .. ships and planets blowing up though ..
thanks BR
pug did you fire works?
Kirk gets his butt kicked a LOT
okay tor, thanks. The kids are probably going to be with their dad this weekend, so I can take myself if I feel like it.
Oddly Studies have shown that children exposed to a lot of violence on tv and video games, demonstrate markedly less compassion. THis mkes me nervous.
that was one reason I let my kids watch star trek: most of the violence was not graphic, more implied. The standard phasar setting was always "stun"...
BR, have you read the Golden Compass series? Your icon today reminds me of the last book
well then I must go and see kirk getting his butt kicked! LOL
Star Trek too was to boldly go and explore not go and conquer.
do the expendable guys still wear red shirts?
need the first CA 5/18 pleae?
last book I read was books for dummies
there are several excellent blooper reels from star trek on Youtube....check them out sometime
BR I find that hard to believe.
seems to have worked, BR *wicked mama look*
hello all.
hey peri!
can I stop now?
add to 4 7 stid
stop what?
thanks cherly
only if you promise to read the Golden Compass series - I think you would really like it
finally changed the batteries in my camera. and took pictures of my bureau and breakfront. now just have to figure out how to upload into the computer and print them out.
yw
no, that's the a 5/14, isn't it? need the 5/18
thanks, Trifioso
I need to sell them before I move next month
no its the 18
ca 5/18 sounds like the shiny thing cops wear to identify themselves
unless I am missing one
ah. thanks trifioso!

hey nrk! how are you?
hi nrkii
10 to go here, just dropping in to see if anyone clued those 10 before I carry on :)
I'm good, thanks Stid
and i's incapacitated
good afternoon nrkii! how nice to see you here!
80 left here
stid, how's everything there?
in 5 please?

the start of traveling under cover
oof, i have to go vacuum now, dread....
good luck on the midterm Stid!!!
n's nonplussed
thanks nrk, it's 100-level geography, but for some reason seems harder than I expected. Not used to memorizing terms anymore! LOL
go BR go!
nah just babbling ...
okay, diving into the list now... promised myself 4 miles of walking today and haven't walked more than 40 steps so far
go nrk go!!!
sc 5/14 please?
burn with hot water stid
(just got that one 2 secs ago)
oops. have that, need the next
geography today is so different ... North America had not even been discovered when I first took it
yell at, for doing something wrong
fireworks!
I suspect, though, that memorizing all those insignificant principalities took a bit of time?
YAY nrk!
fireworks here too!!!
yell at with a sc 5
yay stid!!!
thanks for that last one, BR and nrk!
actually, I DO have a really old atlas that belonged to my great great somebody, and it is amazing how different the maps look, from just 150 years or so ago. Maine didn't exist, for one thing, and Africa is largely one big unexplored green mass
and with that, I have to run... or at least walk... see ya later!
congrats, nrkii and stid
yep, that's true, trifioso! even maps from my mother's time have some HUGE differences. and of course when I was a child, the USSR was most of Asia, which made things a lot easier!
walk on, nrkii
congrats stid and nrkii
later nrk!!!
okay really must hoover now. Cheers, dears!
belgian congo

well, I really ought to scoot. Making a list of the actual terms I need to know by chapter.
Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan etc! lucky you!
good luck, stid
I know it's the best way to learn this sort of material, but it is a drag. Thanks for the diversion all! *hugs atalante and BR on way out*
Good afternoon, folks!
How's the grid today?
Hi Takuma. Grid is nicer.
hello, Takuma. Easy. Very, very easy.
ah, that's good to hear
Hello, Ms H
hi br..
Why are you so tired again, Ms H?
I started training again. no fooling around, so hard work out.
Could someone please offer a clue for the 'T' starting at the middle-row tile?

hey Takuma, how are you doing?
Very well, thanks. Taking a mid-week day off. How are you?
doing ok, just plunging into the grid. Is it any good today?
I've found it fun. I suspect it'd be easy to finish, if you were of a mind to
probably will, unless I get sleepy early today. Good words so far :)
Time for me to move on to other things for a bit. Good luck all!
have a good rest of the day, Takuma!

definitely. they are such odd looking creatures!
great icon indeed.
my step dad used to catch and release them when I was a teenager
really? how cool! for an animal organisation? or just him?
he worked for the city and they would get run over if got to close to town
isn't Babble wonderful. whereas would you find someone whose father caught armadillos?
do damage to them and to people tires
I bet! I wouldn't want to tangle with one of those in a car
yep, had an accident once there in town where a little old woman went to swerve to miss one and hit a fire truck instead
small town
one of my friends did similar avoiding a rabbit
Yaaay, It is raining. I think our afternoon rains are starting to make an early comeback. Whoo Hoooo.
thats nice red, cool you down
fireworks. Have fun all.
I wonder why the ga 6 is not a proper noun?
yes well city figured cheaper to hire him than replace fire trucks lol
yeah sprite
congrats Sprite! bye
I thought the same thing nan
bye sprite -- congrats
because it has gotten its own meaning as a boastful person; a braggart.

I swear, Each time I watch Ellen, I get jealous, they all get the best prizes. If I went I bet it would be a jumbo toothpaste tube.!!
CHerlyyou shoudl go play and win a new car.
that would be neat
wow every once in awhile I find a duh word
I always wonder though, liek now she gave away a kitchen set. I live in an apartment, what the heck would I do with a new set of appliances....
I would love to have dish washer, but every year I need something else more lol
So I would give it to Cherly!
and taxes would eat up your prize I think lol
you have to pay taxes on prizes?
Oh yes, its income.
yes, in states we have a gift tax and it is like 50 % or something huge
watched a show on it once, uncle sam wants his portion
!!! - the US seems to have such an awful taz system
tex
Hi guys....you should live in Ireland. Tax??? Oh. My God!!!!
we do. Lynxxx, it is insane.
hi Soodle
I have heard that soodle
Hey Lynn!!
hi Sood
HI Red!!
we have sales tax, income tax, gift taxes and then most states have taxes too
we all pay too much tax, taxed on earnings, on spending, even the necessities, taxed on savings
Please - call me Bum!!! lol
No State tax in Fl and TexasI think?
considering the stuation here with members of parliament claiming expenses they aren't entitled to it's a farce
and hello everyone, couldn't not have my tuppence worth
no we dont pay state income tax here, just property taxes
Saw that on Sky news Jac....Mad!!!!
no state income tax in TX, but property taxes are astronomical
insane, totally, and i'll bet it's the same the world over
hi Jacq
we're talking hundreds of thousands of tax payers pounds every year
and they are already overpaid
heya lynxxx
thats true mom and I just got my news will go up again this year
My least favorite thing in Fl, No state taxes, but they have these toll roads. up to 2.00 every few miles....I'd rather pay the income tax.
we don't have many tolls , but apparently you get into Edinburgh for free but have to pay £4 to leave
Are those taxes new, Red? Was in Fl in 2000, went from Clearwater to Key West - Don't remember paying one toll....
Oklahoma is full of toll roads and the GW Bush in Dallas is ridiculous. You pay a toll about every 3 feet
Mag mom, I drove hrough Oklahoma, and it was shocking about the tolls.
yeah avoid that road like a plague, when I have to go to the cities
We refer to ourselves as the toll road state, which wouldn't be so bad if the roads weren't awful!
Soodle, you may have driven on interstates, but if you live in orlando and want to drive ona decent road and get somewhere on time...you'll pay tolls. its more of a local thing.
We've just started having tolls here, to pay for new highways...they say they will eventually come off but....
Hey. Come to Ireland. You could lose your car in a pot-hole, and nobody would find you for weeks. And then they have the gall to charge us road tax.
went through ok to get son from arkansas, my friend kept asking me if we had a flat
they say taht lynxx, but they neer go away...they always find something else that needs doind so they can keep the tolls
Locals have cards called sun pass that are tied to debit cards and its hard to know how much they take.
lol Soodle & Cherly
it's really embarassing Cherly
the US government just spent $330,000 + to have a low-flying plane scare New Yorkers
yeah well we complain about our roads but it made us appreciate them more
Lynxx - I'm not joking!!
even it constantly having to go through construction zones
well, construction provides jobs for lots of folk.
annoying as it is...
must go get kids from school- happy babbling all!
yes, especially in texas
bye Magmom
have a good day
Bye Mag

P???? am I missing something here? Cant see any P on the grid. Oh the ignomy of being a newbee. :(
BR, you're like a built in list, thanks! Why the PB? I didn't see any whoopsies
PB = penalty box - imaginary place where you must go if you type a word from the grid into the chat
Hi, Soodlebum, if you type a word in the chog that's actually one of the list words, you get sent to the Penalty Box (imaginary) (more fun with friends!)
Oh my. I have so much to learn. Please be patient. And Kind...
Nothing but, Soodle, we were all new once!
i don't see where BR went wrong, still don't know why he's in the pb
back btw
Thank you JBs. I was getting a bit rattled there. Much appreciated!. X
Soodle, I've been pro (paid member) for so long, I don't remember if you can see the archives as a free player - it helps to read over some of the archived chat logs from previous puzzle days to get an idea of the lingo and culture. Yup, there's culture here!
Hey JBs - I have enough trouble with my OWN history - couldn't cope with all of yours!!! LOL LOL LOL
LOL, Soodle, think of it as an adventure. Like, um, like, oh yeah, like Talk Like A Pirate Day (September)!!
Ahaaar Jim Lad.. Gonna walk the plank any minute!!! lol

bye bye Lynxxx, good to see you again
sometimes i think they go overboard, are they going to take away history books then
hi lynxx
she and boy were poking each other and it got out of hand
exactly
teacher moved boy end of story lol
schools have lost all common sense, well just not schools
neither one usually acts up so they both just got a lecture and moved
common sense is subjective
and it is getting towards the end of the school year and I think the kids start getting giddy
thats so true, had one missed his graduation cause his dad left a butter knife in back of pick up 2 years ago
kid didnt even know it was in there, dad had had his lunch on tailgate and forgot to tell him
we live in rural area and pickups are the norm, and so are guns lol
I will address it though when she gets home, she knows better than poke someone with pencil
sorry on soap box (sigh)
Kudos to parents who care
ty br
surprised me she usually only gets in trouble at home lol
saves battles for her brother

i'm back, lots of phone calls and planning of the big day (son's wedding onsunday)
hello, Dorens
hi dorens, lots of coming and going happening in chog
Frito pie sounds awful..
hi babrab, cherly, ruru
and gassy
frito pie is yummy
its what happens after you eat it that is yucky
kind of thing i used to love... might still like it, but don't eat that way anymore. (hardly remember what a frito tastes like, it's been so long)
hi ruru
yup
hi cheryl
I can't take that much salt in food.. fritos probably have 700 parts of salt
kje still here?
goes off to corner.. killed the chat again.....
still here,got 15 left
hi ruru
hi jmc
hey jm...
whew..
hi cherly and everyone else
I had to go get my alligator
yes, i am kinda here
that's a crock...
hey kje.. kinda?
a croc or a crock?
i grew up with frito pie - a southwest thing... they served it at school cafeteria
crock...lol
the caption said alligator
don't knock it till you try it - fritos, chili, onions, cheese
I remember frito pie
(yeah ..well you are from texas)...
mmmmm
me too -- yum!!!
fattening, salty, greasy....
when i came back from up north first thing I ate
ugh
all the food groups, kje! LOL
goes great with a glass of zin - LOL
now ruru it is really quite tasty
rather have the zin...
I'd rather have sushi
ugh
don't think I've had any since the '50s!
double ugh
hmmm zin -- I wonder if I have any wine here
now thats something never got into
did they have tv's then une?
i'd rather have steamed mussels in wine and garlic
lol
mmmm - salmon, eel, mackerel, fatty tuna
we are a meat and potato state around here
that sounds good too une
ugh, ugh , ugh
but, there are very few food types I will not eat
LOVE mussels!
I am having salad from my garden tonight with a little jimica added
ruru, you don't like mussels??
mussels I like
sounds tasty, jmc@
ru apparently has very bland tastes
jicama I think
raw oysters ru?
ug, like cat fish and fresh water, allergic to sea food
wouldn't it be jmica?
mmm raw gulf oysters
raw oysters.. nope... ugh
bad one
jimica
catfish panfried in thin coat of cornmeal -- yum!
not gulf oysters for me.... pacific coast - OMG
that is good too une
oh my, all this talk of good food!
when catfish is perfectly cooked, it is great... but there is a lot of bad stuff out there
hey, dorens!
jicama jimica its good and crisp
my neighbor has a catfish pond
I never could eat catfish again after frying up over a hundred for a class in highschool!
those suckers can get quite large
kje, there's a little deli in the back of a local grocery near my house -- every Friday they sell out of fried catfish and hush puppies!
mud pit you mean?
no.. it is a real pond..
it's browner than ours I admit
hey kj are you far from austin?
mmmm - love good hush puppies!
(admit to having very poor knowledge of texas)
about 3 hours dorens, why?
hi babblers
i will be there the weekend of june 19th
hi
hi robbie
texans have a poor knowledge of texas ..
oh cool dorens, what are you doing?
kje, may have asked you where at, I am in san angelo
hi jmc
ru.... bite me
what makes you say that ruru
chomp
I am in Dallas, cher
Austin is an awesome place Dorens, you'll love it!
ru texas covers alot of area
I hope it poisons you ru
going to one of ken's golf buddy's 70th birthday party. and on saturday they are playing ...... golf!! and i am NOT.
wow, about 5 hrs from me then
ich Dallas is my least favorit town
texans are only about the part they live in.. Dallas, Austin, Houston, etc.. no one ever really travels around texas
i used to live in the Houston and Dallas area in my youth
I grew up in Houston
uneaixoise, where are you? i am in Fort Worth?
my cousin lived there for several years (Austin) and loved the food, music, and fun people!
ken says austin is cool and i'll like it
i'm in Nashville
dorens... remind me as we get closer - I go down quite a bit, so if I will be down there, I will show you around a bit
you mean fort worth dallas maybe robbie?
wow, lots of texans today
sorry, i thought from scanning the chat that you were in texas
yes near arlington
yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaah
oh that would be mucho coolo! will remind you for sure kj
but also Houston, too
went to summer camp there for 2 years as a child :-)
I am ignoring the bait ru.... too predictable
ruru, i have been all over the east side of the state, up and down. not too far west though
lol
dorens - you can always email me on FB as well
I have been over most of Texas.
do you have gun racks in your truck kje?
the sun has ris'
*mooning ru*
I on the other hand have been up and down west side of state, but not on the east lol
the sun has set
puts on sunglasses
and here you is
will keep that in mind... but i do manage to see you here often, don't I?
in Texas yet
Burma Shave
pretty often dorens
jmc LOL!
Hi all. Does anyone have a clue for the la 5,12 word? My last one.
do they still make burma shave?
i DID drive through texas on ruote 66 with my parents back aroud 1962... remember those burma shave ads for sure (and chicken fried steak)
hi folks .. burma shave :) reminds me of signs on the road west ... 800 miles to Wall Drug
la5 head honcho of a Scottish manor
and stuckey's
used to see those signs when going to my Grandparents house in Grand Saline
I haven't had chicken fried steak in eons - mmmmmm
thanks
mmmm chicken fried steak
Do ya'll still give clues? (Can I get one for ag5/22 please.
Tennessee used to be full of Burma Shave signs :-)
Never been to texas myself..
ty une
now I have a hankering for chicken fried steak
a + bright and smiling
come visit ru, and I will treat you to frito pie - LOL
wtg Texeken
when i disccovered it (back in 1962) I just adored it!
yeeeehah mag..
i was born intennessee.....see rock city...lol
with some mashed taters and cream gravy
*puts in an order for pecan pie for dessert*
and chess pie for dessert!
and pecan pie for desert
great, thnx ruru
^5 cherly!
I'm only 40 miles from Texas ru ;-)
chess pie?
and a corn on the cob!
pecn pie!
a southern specialty, ruru!
I make a great pecan pit every thanksgiving
now pecan pie is something i never liked... can't take that jelly - but love the pecans off the top
chess pie is almost pecan pie, so ^5 une!
Chess is good, but pecan is my fave
chess pie is pecan pie without the pecans
so mag mom can you meet up in austin on june 20th?
ag, is - the candles are ag....... ends in another word, if babble took 3 letter words
wjat's chess pie?
how do you rook it... er I mean cook it
pecan pie shouldn't be gelatinous ... just enough filling to hold the pecans together
chess pie is mostly eggs and sugar
de 5/16 please?
possibly dorens, I will have to look at my work schedule... I have friends down there I would like to visit, so it would be a nice trip
i agree, welki! and the pecans should be toasted
ok, wouldn't like that - don't like eggy custard things
eggs, sugar, karo syrup,
do you have to pawn it off on someone
de5/16 is an Impressionist painter
have to use real karo syrup or will be sticky
up here in canada, i had to get used to what they call "butter tarts," which essentially are tiny chess pies, either with pecans, raisins or plain
or only eat it at knight
ru is full of bad one liners tonight.... let's vote him off the island
ok .. so here's the plan. KJ and Mag Mom come to austin on saturday June 20th. I am staying at the Driskill hotel
lol
in the south those are sometimes called tassies, welki :-)
I just got here.
i think it is driscoll
i loved the driskill hotel
ty unea
dricoll
driscoll
yw :-)
you may have just gotten here ruru, but you are getting a rise out of the ladies
but not sure
(i was told driskill. which does sounds absurd)
sounds fun dor!
that's funny
yup. it is driskill, just googled it
oops - it is driskill - lol
www.driskillhotel.com/
I stayed there the last Democratic State Convention I was a delegate to
i googled too
makes me think of road kill lol- how texan LOL
probably came to texas as Driscoll and that's how they spelled it...
it sounds like driscoll
historical old cattle baron thing from 1886
nothing in the middle of the road. . .
ru - sometimes it is a good thing that you are out of arms reach
but yeller lines and dead armidillos
looks beautiful except for the giant longhorn cow head on the wall!
neener neener neener...
do 6/21 please?
a fish fin, robbie
you got that from weed!
do6 fin on a shark or dolphin
I had that before weed was born...

Hello Dorens!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
i am good min, and only semi-stressed. son's wedding on sunday and still lots to do.
wow Dorens! Best wishes to your family
Hi Min
congratulations Dorens
Hello DR1965!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
thanks DR> it is a family affair... his sister is the best man and his older brother is doing the marrying part (no, he's not a minister.. state of MASSachussetts is very liberal with this sort of thing)
I am ok Min.. have a sore shoulder today fpr some reason
sorry DR. hope it feels better quickly
I understand thatDorens.. I am a notary and some states allow notaries to perform weddings
Thanks Dorens.. it is an old injury that pops up every once in a while
Sorry to hear about your sore shoulder DR1965. I've got a sore nose from blowing it every 5 minutes due to allergies. I go through a roll of toilet paper a day.
LOL _ I could not figure out the go4/7 and Jacob just did a report on Sutters Mill which is where it was discovered in California
so sad DR and Min
Oh MIN! I am sorry to hear about your allergies!
it's weird, apparently in MA, everyone is entitled to perform a wedding once in their lifetime without any special license, the couple just has to apply when applying for the marriage certificate.. so he i s doing it
That is kind of cool Dorens
that is an odd law dorens

oh no criminal minds is making me cry
raining your way, lb?
oh, no jmc
don't tell, please, jm
just overcast, Welki.
Wish I could watch that show--it can creep me out....
most extreme creep-out this year for me was the finale of "private practice"
usually I like it
that didn't bother me as much as some of the criminal mind stroy lines,
hello All!
jmc, I'm with you, hard to concentrate on grid when Spence is being hosed down
Yes, this show CAN be creepy!
hi, rep
i really need a commercial
I love Criminal Minds!
Are you watching it now, reparteena?
Yes i am!
uh oh I am in trouble now I ride the metro everyday
hi Rep
Hi Pam!
whew a commercial
Criminal Minds is brought to you by .. The Republican Party. For all your looting and rights-trampling needs, vote Republican.
How many crazy sociologists does it take to change a light bulb? JMC?
hi torg
Hi lbd, jmc
don't know JB
hi rep
I'm a lawyer
hi repart
hi welki!
(p.s. is crazy sociologist redundant?)
well, I don't know either, it was a reference to the show development (sheepish look) long stretch for a joke!

So, by watching the show, I'm declaring for a political party, torg?

As good as go4/7, jmc, just change the first letter
and welki
Not necessarily .. They're just a sponsor
If watching the show picks a political party I need to change my registration
I am a yellow dog democrat
Oh, I first read that as "by torg" and I thought that was a new catch phrase in the chat!
only 26 to go, by torg!
lol JB
go JB
show's back on
yep
anymore clues before i log off?
oops the red line is the line I use
I like it ..
watch out for powdery light bulbs, jmc!
whew he's targeting Marc instead
ty, lbd, I'm going to power through with the list, sporadically watching tv through a rear view mirror on my computer desk!
the subway scene is from Philly! not DC
i have to move back to the east coast. playing babble jeopardizes my tv shows
okay, i'll see you all tomorrow! good luck with the grid.
That's what Tivo is for!!
sorry welki!
it's not that .. by the time i watch the show (i'm two hours behind you), i've already heard what's happened
I won't tell you how it turns out
big surprise ending
Oops, almost gave it away!!
Nite lbd
bye lbd
GN, LBD!!!
Thanks for the help!
but it is the Philly subway station
not DC
No problem, I take the bus to work
I'm a running dog lackey of the bougeoisie ..
Sorry, that was a leap, jmc, I'm in Philly!
Got stuck walking the pooch again, tor?
Okay, jumping back to the list, need to finish!
ah! well I am glad you are safe -- but didn't you recognize Philly in those shots?
