1:10 am

bye stiddy...she's just funnin!

1:10 am

so we can't use Babble expert...

1:10 am

that you lost BE?

1:10 am

that's what's wrong, pav, lol

sigh Its a bloody Woolies store *proceed to rant*

1:10 am

can you resize your different windows on a Mac??

1:11 am

I can

1:11 am

Yes, Just1Mar

1:11 am

I like them big though

1:11 am

the new Mac mini's come with Bootleg to partition the drive to have a Windows portion...and yes, what can be done in Windows can be done on a Mac...except attract viruses and such...!!

1:11 am

easier to see lol

MR PRES: http://tinyurl.com/qh24hm

1:12 am

so just shorten your babble window, call up lickety from under the grid, resize that one to align them ...that's all

1:12 am

YOu can also purchase the software to run Windows and Mac side by side without having to restart for either one...

1:12 am

I thought babble expert had to be emailed

MR PRES i am going to FB you. You will not be amused

1:13 am

I thought I'd need windows and MS Office to access files from work...but even with Mac, can open work files and run them using work MS Office products...

1:13 am

well, having a windows printer and scanner I think I'llstay with my PC

1:13 am

expert yes but you just click on lickety's bab clues, open it in a separate window and resize both to align them

1:13 am

yes, west, Lickety sends it to you

Why has Woolies acquired them?

1:14 am

that's basically what expert is...

ok infern

Because they are bastards

1:14 am

I already have both open it's just the automatic feed I don't have

1:14 am

Mac's come with the drivers for most printers...I didn't even load my printer software and the Mac-mini recognized it immediately...I had to reload the software for Windows to do so and then it quit in Win...

Mr PRes i just sent you amessage

i am reading the article

1:15 am

well it seems that there are several ways to use expert, I prob don't use it the way most people do (cause what do I know?)

1:15 am

oh well, pav, come on over and show me all that good mac stuff

1:15 am

we got our first apple in 1980 so we will always be apple users

I HATE large stores

West, email lickety and he will send you BE

1:16 am

thanks mrp but when I get it will I be able to use it on the mac?

1:16 am

it also started on the Internet without having to load the drivers for my cable modem...and then in Windows, I had to load the software again!...when it crashed (Win side only - na5 viruses) in Febrary, I didnt reload windows...

allegedly not... but talk to him about it... I will just get him onto chat

Mr PRes I am gonig to be five and demand my Macro

1:17 am

pav I just don't think they work well together

1:18 am

thought you were older than five, herin, lol

1:18 am

the newer Macs are far better at it...I like the Mac mini..perfect small size and quiet as a mouse...great support if you need it (as when Win side crashed and they tell me to contact Win support! go figure!)

throw a hissy!

1:19 am

we both have mac book pros now lap tops rule!

we have both window and mac on the one puter

1:20 am

that's what pav has or had I think

MR PRes I am throughing a hissy. DId you know that they have been around for 22 years in Bondi. Now they are going to a HUGE store so we have no choices. There is Woolies and Coles and ALdi but WOolies has eaten up a small store and the poor staff have to reapply for their own jobs

pretty shitty infern

1:20 am

that's happening here with a lot of the supermarkets

It is West we have 3 main choices now that Macro is going I am worried about the quallity of food I will buy. ALSO lets me have a rant whilst I am at it that WOolworths are in HUGE trouble as one of their piggeries was disgustingly infested and cruel to their animals

1:22 am

do I miss Windows? only to access files on the old hard drive, but this weekend I'm converting them over...I was able to copy most files from old drive to new Mac drive, just a few remain...

1:22 am

not good

1:23 am

are they killing all the pigs because of swine flu?

1:23 am

yay pav!!

I don't think so west

1:23 am

we used to have woolworths (a five and dime store) but they haven't been around in ages

No West they are housing pigs in sties which are maggot infested and revoltingly cruel. I try to get my meat from places

1:24 am

I'm poofing out...Joey wants a walk, and I'm a bit tired...brain should statrt up again in them mo4ing...

see ya PAV

1:24 am

one of our daughter's got married in Oct of '07 married into a very large family and was told they were a Mac family..and she said 'so are we' lol

1:24 am

what used to be the 5 & 10 stores are now Dollar stores -- as I've said for ages, just add a zero to the old prices to get up to date ones

1:25 am

good night pav sleep well and have a nice walk

1:25 am

night pav

1:25 am

well yeah jilli but the oldsters had lunch counters, not now tho

1:25 am

ciao! mes amis...bonne nuit!

1:25 am

and I've noticed most things in the dollar stores cost more

1:26 am

oh yeah just those were fun

1:26 am

I loved the old lunch counters in the 5 & 10 stores

Mr Pres: If this store is taking over Macro where does this produce come from? Who are the suppliers of the meats? Will there be organic fruit and vegetables? Is this another Woolworths cooperate of shoot? THis is what i sent them?

1:26 am

speaking of costing more, our dollar is spiraling upwards strongly...just a tad under .90US

1:26 am

yipeee!!!

1:26 am

I"d better get to Canada fast then lol

1:27 am

glad my trip was a few weeks ago :)

1:27 am

but seriously good for you

1:27 am

yeah I'll bet dartie!

I feel really ill about a store closing down that I really on for good quality healthy meat

1:27 am

my queenie will be worth a lot if I hang on to it

1:27 am

it does help us

1:28 am

I know that's not the right name..it's the pretty 2 dollar canadian coin

1:28 am

was .79 when i exchanges some money...about .83 when i charged the rest...think .88 today

1:28 am

d

1:28 am

oh it won't stay....they keep saying that it'll basically stay between .80 to .85US in the long term

1:28 am

actually .89 and change dart (today)

1:28 am

what is the name of the $2 coin?

1:29 am

we call them twonies, or toonies, or doubloons (our $1 coin is a loonie cuz there's a loon on it)

1:29 am

twooney

1:29 am

the tooney

1:29 am

or the middle finger *unless you are in one of those countries which is bad*

1:46 am

no, west -- I just phoned them and asked if it would be dangerous to drive the car in -- they said not if it was running normally because it might just be a loose gas cap, and that's what it was.

1:46 am

oh no lol

1:47 am

you should get one of those tricycle horns

1:47 am

2:42 am

lady: must be a beautiful bracelet

2:42 am

storage is always an option?

Sprite the bracelet s pretty and i love it

2:43 am

we'll never have another big house

2:43 am

I have a china cabinet filled with teacups

2:43 am

Yes - they are really keen to share buying something to get into the market while prices are down but they want to buy in this area which is a bit pricey for ist home buyers

2:43 am

very similar

2:44 am

the ceilings in our westford house were 10 feet at least

2:44 am

from my "nanny" plus a gate leg table that take up no space but opens up to seat 12 easily

2:44 am

I have so many pretty tea cups and matching dessert plates stored in the basement

2:44 am

Il ove high ceilings. Though they cost a fortune to keep heated.

2:45 am

wow I'd love a gate leg like that I have a tiny one

2:45 am

Anyway - I had better do something constructive for the afternoon so I;m off - bye

2:45 am

well I understand but with all your children, grandchildren etc surely someone would have wanted it, just to keep it in the family?

2:45 am

I hope they will manage, anike! Would be a great start.

2:45 am

bye anike

2:45 am

exactly sprite which is one of the reasons we sold that place

2:45 am

Yes - I wish we could help them more

2:46 am

being there for them and helping them think is worth more than money, anike.

2:46 am

we thought about that just but who should it go to etc. and none of them have the room

2:46 am

that's so sad ...to have to sell such a piece

2:47 am

it's nice the young ones want your advice

2:47 am

did you read the profile just?

2:47 am

no but I will now

2:48 am

you'll drop dead

2:48 am

lol :D

2:48 am

oh yes I did ...geez...wow what a shame

2:49 am

is this a slow grid or is it just me?

2:50 am

well it started off with a roar than before half way changed into a whimper (for me)

I heard a very sad tale that books are now being turned into fire bricks as no one wants them same as Granny's china, they are not valued.

2:50 am

I'm sure I'd have many more words if I would st** chatting but I'm having so much fun

2:50 am

oh that's awful

it is

2:50 am

hm ok, must be me then, cannot seem to get started with anything even remotely resembling a roar.

2:51 am

we had to get rid of so many books when we moved but we gave them to Hands Across the Sea

2:51 am

funny just last week my kids (son and his wife) were over for dinner and gave them a history of this china cabinet and its contents and begged them to please find a way to keep it, but who know's what'll be

2:51 am

mostly text books

:( Never get rid of my books. I am 3 books short of hard back copies of ANne Rice Vampire series

2:52 am

you said it was your grandmother's?

2:52 am

it's such a hard thing to do, eh westy? but we come into this world with nothing and we leave it with all our treasures behind :(

2:52 am

yes it was my maternal grandmother's

2:52 am

not me I'm taking my lap top

2:53 am

I have only 1 or 2 things of my paternal grandmother's...

2:53 am

as they say in Monty Python: so what have you lost? Nothing!

2:53 am

lolol westie...I'll get a netbook and we'll link up

2:53 am

I have my maternal grandmother's wedding ring and my paternal grandmother's sewing machine

2:54 am

big families on both sides

2:54 am

I have this brass mortar and pestle that has 1881 inscripted on it....the mortar is about 10 inches high...not a small thing and heavy too

2:54 am

that sounds neat

2:54 am

it has to be from Russia cause that's their origins

2:55 am

was anyone in your family a pharmacist?

2:55 am

very nice imagine the trouble it was to bring it over

2:55 am

lol not to my knowledge but they used to ground up their own grains etc

2:56 am

the things they used to do to survive

2:56 am

my maternal grandmother had such beautiful 'carnival ware' that my sister took...she packed it in boxes and in one of her many moves (never had opened it nor marked it) just threw it out in the garbage :(

2:57 am

we take so much for granted now

2:57 am

get out!

2:57 am

that's a sin

2:57 am

not kidding plus some other types of goblets, I was sooooooo pissed off

2:58 am

did she realize what she had done?

2:58 am

she didn't even remember taking them but she HAD to have them

2:58 am

no cause she didn't remember insisting on taking them...

2:59 am

so like her though and her pos husband

2:59 am

maybe the movers lost them?

2:59 am

lol movers? they were the movers

2:59 am

what's pos?

3:00 am

oh never mind I know lol

3:00 am

piece of sh**

3:00 am

knew it couldn't mean positive

3:01 am

I still can't find the pa 8, is it related to the folksy-sounding French & Italian 6 and 7?

3:01 am

what totally killed me tho, was the fact that she didn't even remember anything about them, what they looke like etc even showing her on line something very similar :(

3:01 am

there it comes at last. Not my second wind, just the first one.

3:01 am

it is not a bad grid at all, is it=

laters again

3:02 am

easy grid again, sprite. congrats on being done

3:02 am

sprite is whooshing by now

3:02 am

first wind? I don't get my first wind, these days til I've been awake for at least 15 hours!

3:02 am

bye herin come back soon

3:02 am

not done yet! But thanks in advance, BabbleRabble. Glad to see you!

3:02 am

3:04 am

3:04 am

3:04 am

oh wait

3:04 am

pa -- forward or incomplete or not vote and much *** about nothing

3:05 am

no that doesn't work

3:05 am

I hate to be so close to passion and not getting it

3:05 am

there! tyvm bab

3:06 am

thank you, BR!

3:06 am

that's spanish yes?

3:06 am

know the feeling, sprite! ;)

3:06 am

sigh think that's my cue to partir (leave, in francais)

3:06 am

:)

3:07 am

bye 1Mar

3:07 am

have any of you seen the reviews in Amazon.com for the 3 wolves moon shirt?

3:07 am

not me

3:07 am

bye, Just!

3:07 am

are you going to try to sleep just?

3:08 am

i haven't gone yest spritey, rbud..was waiting for all to say no, don't go lolol

3:08 am

they are hilarious sprite

3:08 am

no just don't go!!

3:08 am

try to sleep? I've given up on trying quite a while ago :(

3:08 am

then NOOO!! don't go!!! lol

3:09 am

actually I'm downloading a mini series from I think 2006 and it's going very slowly...

3:09 am

hi how are you doing

3:10 am

hey aaron don't ask and I won't tell but welcome!

3:10 am

hello, Aaronitor. as far as how I am doing, do you want the long or short version?

3:10 am

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_a?ur l=node%3D388287011&field-keywords=3+wo lf+moon+shirt&x=0&y=0

3:10 am

that is sad, west, lolllll

3:10 am

short version please

3:10 am

lol babrab, i spared him the dilemma

3:10 am

lol BabbleRabble. Hello Aaronitor

Hello all! back for a bit

3:10 am

it's long but if you click on the shirt and got to reviews you'll have fun

3:10 am

hi mrP

3:11 am

I am doing fine, thank you. hope you are too.

3:11 am

wb MrP

3:11 am

I like the shirt, though

3:11 am

hello aaron I'm doing just fine how are you?

hi sprite, babrab, mar, west et al

3:11 am

I'm doing fine

3:11 am

I knew you would sprite it's just people having fun

3:11 am

hello, mrp

3:13 am

hi mr p

3:13 am

actually I keep an empty bottle of beer on the floor, lying horizontally for me to use to roll back and forth from my toes to my heel

hi aaron :)

3:13 am

courtesy of my husband who emptied said bottle, or rather rented the contents

3:13 am

lol mine rents his beer too

3:13 am

1Mar, please use a bottle of water in stead. This is drink abuse.

3:14 am

did they recommend you do that?

bottle abuse! LOL

3:14 am

I can't spritey, the water bottles here are plastic but the beer bottles are glass

3:14 am

nah it is the thought that counts. Putting your feet on a beer bottle, BAD girl!

3:14 am

I need glass or something that can't be indented such as plastic

3:15 am

that's my story and I'm sticking to it

3:15 am

still one S missing... is there one very weirdo S word today or am I still blindish?

3:15 am

this is what my physiotherapist told me to do so I'm allowed!

mar, can I send you a food massage? I have a really good wooden one!

3:15 am

that pt needs a drink education

3:16 am

a food massage???? ROFLOLLLL can I please come and watch?

3:16 am

sure and sure!

foot massage that is

3:16 am

do you massage the food, or with it?

Mornin babblers. This is an amazing grid, isn't it? Words jumping out wherever I look and I haven't time to put them all in :-)

3:17 am

hi Sally! No, not here, I am having a very blonde day, I guess.

3:17 am

hi sally

3:17 am

actually that's about all I do with the food, spritey, cause I have no apetite and have to force myself to eat

3:17 am

it is the same with me sally-catlover.

hi sally!

3:18 am

lol sally, can;t wait to hear what you have to say in about 15 to 30 minutes!

3:18 am

one day there may be a challenging grid

Pessimist!

3:18 am

one day babrab, one day

Most of them are challenging to me BR, but that's why I like doing them.

this grid is challenging!

3:19 am

lol BabbleRabble, absolutely. One day every day.

3:19 am

phew, I think so to mrP....

3:20 am

Don't let BabbleRabble get away with that! He declared a grid challenging just the other day. Lots of people fainted.

3:20 am

lol and they still haven't revived!

3:20 am

I remember

3:20 am

hi Haz! BabbleRabble is right though. The other day WAS one day.

3:20 am

We've run out of smelling salts.

3:20 am

I prob wasn't there that day cause I vived

3:20 am

haz have you heard from ata?

3:20 am

sorta

3:21 am

Anyway, good morning/evening all.

3:21 am

hiya Haz

3:21 am

No, westford, haven't heard anything yet. I don't think they arrive on Sark until today.

3:21 am

hello

3:21 am

these grids are so darn challenging all the time

3:21 am

they didn't expect to be there any sooner than today.

3:21 am

I didn't realize it would take that long

They will love Sark, Haz. Have they been before?

3:22 am

so westie, have you heard or watched the mini series (6 epis) called "the lost room"?

3:22 am

true, BabbleRabble, true... but to whom, is the eternal question.

3:22 am

no I haven't done either

3:23 am

No, this will be their first trip. I think they were staying overnight in Weymouth, it's not that it's a hugely long sea journey.

3:23 am

to me, for 1, spritey, but then everything these days is a challenge

3:23 am

I know a computer game by that name though, 1Mar, does that count?

It's a fantastic place. Have had two holidays there.

3:24 am

sounds familiar to me, 1Mar

3:24 am

I've never been, Sally, but was fascinated with a programme recently done by Martin Clunes. He seemed to love it as well.

3:24 am

I found the half horse I think

3:24 am

we have Babblers living there, I am certain of it. In Sark, I mean.

3:25 am

say hi to mr Perry.

We found it very difficult to switch back to a normal pace of living after visiting.

3:25 am

Yes, Liz lives there (LizSark) and Ata and husband are going to visit them.

3:26 am

ah wonderful, I thought they might. That will be fun.

So will they tackle that day's grid together? :-)

3:27 am

Good question, Sally.

3:27 am

I thought I was pretty "up there" on my geography but where is Sark exactly?

3:27 am

or they might enjoy talking too much

3:27 am

Just, it's one of the Channel Islands, lying closer to France than to England.

Off the coast of Cornwall, between Penzance and France

3:28 am

oh really? so it's a chilly windy place?

3:28 am

ooh pirates

3:28 am

I think it's actually a pretty benign climate.

No cars allowed on Sark.

3:29 am

that's nice cause one would think its location would incline it to be chilly

3:29 am

Benign in British terms, you understand.

3:29 am

oh nice that!

3:30 am

lol haz well benign to me from the land of snow and ice and cold is prob diff than yours!

3:31 am

I imagine it would seem tropical to you just

3:31 am

sorry somehow I just thought it must be a tropical paradise

3:31 am

This is true, we'll all have our different perceptions of what's acceptable. But it's not chilly in the same way as some Scottish islands might be.

3:31 am

see? lol

3:31 am

well it sounds lovely

3:32 am

did you say it was closer to France?

3:32 am

oh, btw, westie,...we had summer yesterday...fleeting, but summer for sure!

3:32 am

I think liz has a link in her profile

Yes, one of the Channel Islands.

3:32 am

oh so did we it was grand

3:33 am

Yes, I think all the Channel islands are closer to France than to here. That's why France is still a bit miffed, Britain owns them.

They speak a form of French there.

3:33 am

except that it was so windy I almost got blown away

3:33 am

hope there won't be another war between England and France

3:33 am

I've only been to Jersey, but loved the mix of British and French style.

3:33 am

a form of french? franglais? englfrench?

3:34 am

we speak franglais,here in la belle province

3:34 am

jersey and guernsey do the cows really come from there?

I think they call it Sarquois (sp?) just like a French dialect really - but they also speak English! Most of the surnames are French.

3:34 am

The climate is equable, similar to Devon and Cornwall and frosts are infrequent. The average rainfall is about 140 mm p.a. The Island is fully exposed to winter gales from all quarters and these can interrupt the boat service.

3:35 am

Yes, I'm pretty sure we saw no other cattle than Jerseys on Jersey. Such pretty cows!

Yes to the cows. The colour of the butter and cream was amazing.

3:35 am

sounds very interesting and probably would be close to what I live languagewise here

Also because no cars, very unspoilt and heaving with bird and other wild life.

3:35 am

it sounds like heaven

3:35 am

doesn't sound too bad, BabbleRabble... I don't think I would mind the boat service being interrupted once I was on Sark.

3:36 am

that's nice so bicycles rule?

It is heaven. You have to walk everywhere or ride a bike or horse. There is a bus pulled by a tractor.

3:36 am

I was thinking a nice brougham (sp?)

No street lights, so you can watch the stars.

3:36 am

tractor....uh oh...thats an oil eating machine

Stop it, you're making me want to go there again.

3:37 am

better and better all the time

3:37 am

we should start planning a babble convention there

The "bus" only exists to take people's luggage when the boat comes in - it's a steep walk up from the harbour.

3:37 am

are the stars so mischievous they must be watched?

3:38 am

how many words have you got sally-catlover

I'd be on for that! Also, the only places to eat (when I last went) were the hotels, which had fabulous restaurants.

I have 59 words so far, not really concentrating.

3:38 am

fish the staple or beef ?

3:39 am

it's pretty amazing to go where there are not city light the stars look like you can reach out and grab handsful

3:39 am

stars are miraculous, BabbleRabble. It is even possible to watch a star that doesn't exist anymore. But the most mischievous part is some are watching you that you cannot see yet.

3:39 am

I've only got 24

Don't remember. Most food has to be brought in by boat, so not cheap.

3:39 am

how late does mcdonalds stay open?

lol BR

3:39 am

oh bab lol

3:39 am

native population? approx?

3:39 am

Don't give them ideas, Babble.

3:39 am

Sarks, mostly, 1Mar

We saw the stars like that on Corsica too. You could even watch satellites go across, the skies were so clear.

3:40 am

lol I mean numbers spritey!

3:40 am

*giggle* I know, I know.

Population about 600 acc to Google.

3:41 am

aren't sarks shirts?

3:41 am

wow that's all??

http://www.sark.info/

The wild flowers are amazing. Nothing is sprayed you see. Worth going in spring or autumn.

3:43 am

how long ago were you there sally?

Can't remember, but I don't think it's the sort of place to change much. Building is not allowed, and it's a very old-fashioned way of life, though there have been recent problems with the Barclay Brothers who own some or all of it.

3:45 am

that's a british bank, yes?

3:45 am

sounds like cigarettes

3:46 am

building not allowed so you must buy something that already exists?

3:46 am

I can't imagine anyone wanting to leave

3:46 am

young people probably?

lol, no, two millionaire brothers who live on Breqhou, just off Sark: http://wikimapia.org/1712341/Breqhou

3:47 am

true sprite but then I'll bet they come back

3:47 am

They've managed to cause a lot of upset among Sark natives by insisting on updating things.

3:47 am

lol us NA;s (north americans) are so stupid, eh?

3:48 am

and us dutch as well ;)

3:48 am

but there is (was?) a Barcley bank right!

3:48 am

no but sometimes getting back to basics sounds appealing

3:48 am

as long as they have the internet lol

3:48 am

Yes, certainly a Barclays Bank, just not sure if the Barclay brothers are associated with it.

3:48 am

lol westie,

3:49 am

there are (or were) Barclay cigarettes as well

3:49 am

I see well I feel redeemed to a certain degree

3:50 am

rothmans, players. parliament

Ooh, just found the go 8/9 combination with no outside help!

3:50 am

wtg sally!

3:50 am

Yay sally, great find hm?

3:50 am

such a pretty word sally

3:51 am

Now change the final letter on the 9 for another.

3:51 am

there's another 9 to go with those

3:51 am

can I repeat my question for any tough S word? Still one missing and I just cannot find it.

3:51 am

what was the question sprite?

3:51 am

which one spritey? sorry don't remember your request

3:52 am

which S is it from?

3:52 am

all my s words are normal

3:52 am

if there are any real weirdo S words. From the middle S.

3:52 am

you have all the s's westie?

3:53 am

well, at least I know then that I am blind to a normal word, lol.

3:53 am

of course not ! lol

3:53 am

Nothing weirder so far than old-fashioned form of speak.

3:53 am

well I would have been tres happy for you if so, even though I'd have felt like a complete dolt

ty Haz :-)

3:54 am

I'm doltier

have you got the st7 sprite

3:54 am

thanks Haz, I do have 2 of those.

3:54 am

thx hax , I think lol

3:54 am

I have st5/12, old-fashioned pt of st5 (not go)

3:55 am

ty rbud

3:55 am

It won't accept East German Secret Police, so that's a relief.

3:55 am

lol

3:55 am

nursegladys: no! Thanks, will go looking.

3:55 am

oops, meant pt of st4

3:57 am

ohh spritey, maybe you need the sa sometimes vowel , then 2 cons ?

3:57 am

sprite do you have the half man half horse?

3:57 am

1Mar: that one I have. But not the st7, and west, no, that might be the one, right?

3:58 am

centaur... argh

3:58 am

not that one

3:58 am

also a lecher

3:59 am

*clubs brain in hope of finding another word for centaur*

3:59 am

sometimes half man half goat

3:59 am

west...I didn;t see your answer if you've heard/seen :the lost room: ?

4:00 am

I said I hadn't heard/seen it

4:00 am

I'll bet it's good

4:00 am

and I sa4 I know a computer game by that name and if that counted as well?

4:01 am

someone's car alarm is going and going and going

4:01 am

The half man half goat/horse doesn't come from that s.

4:01 am

okay well I'll let you know...it stars Peter Kraus....one of the brothers (not Dexter) from 6 feet under ..did you see that series?

4:01 am

and juliana margoliese (from ER)

4:01 am

no I missed that one too

4:01 am

heard raves about it

4:02 am

ohhh that was soooo good I loved it

4:02 am

oh juliana got to be very close to George

4:02 am

don't tell haz

4:02 am

It was acting.

4:02 am

well on ER yeah but in real life? nah don't think so

4:02 am

true

4:02 am

He's very professional.

4:03 am

now I am lost in S land... st7 not from middle S?

4:03 am

he does seem like a gentleman

4:03 am

for a (short) time he was involved with a very pretty demoiselle from Quebec lol

4:03 am

this is a nasty tricky slicky grid spritey!

4:04 am

hello all - please clue the di6/24

4:04 am

I don't know which s the st7 comes from, but the sa5/14 for the half man/half goat doesn't come from the middle s.

st7 is from middle s

4:04 am

Haz, sorry to distract you from George a tiny bit, but can you please check for me? I am missing one S, from the middle S, I do not have any st7.

4:04 am

nm found it tx anyway

4:04 am

<======wishes she knew what the hell a half man half goat is was

4:05 am

nursegladys says it's from the middle s (the st7) - we all go looking.

4:05 am

oh, ok! Then the st7 is not a centaur, I take it? I do have 2 sa words, not for centaurs, but for fauns.

4:05 am

yes, half goat, not half horse.

4:05 am

sa5/14 - crazy mixed up man - sa plus a mixed up 'attempt'

4:06 am

I'm sorry I mixed you up sprite

4:06 am

darn I got those. Missing that st7 from the middle then, I hope... anyone has a clue please?

4:06 am

thx haz!

4:06 am

st7 = pig hangout + ps4

4:06 am

You're welcome.

4:06 am

np west, I am already quite mixed up ;)

st7,40 to do with stopping bleeding

4:06 am

lol pig hangout love it!

4:07 am

now that's a word! ty rbud

4:07 am

thanks rbud and all, new word to me!

4:07 am

like the pencil for shaving

4:08 am

thx rbud great clue!

4:08 am

and fireworks. Good grid today, took quite some effort for me.

4:09 am

yay and double yay sprite

4:09 am

wtg spritey....see i told you! sitting with 85 left

4:09 am

yay, sprite!!!

4:09 am

lol 1Mar, but you chat even more than I do! ;)

4:09 am

you would have finished sooner if we hadn't sarked you

4:09 am

sigh ...every grid is an effort for me

4:09 am

pig hangout... like the room of my son, grin

4:10 am

mine, too, sprite

4:10 am

lolol sprite and prob every other boy in this world

4:10 am

efforts can be good. Nothing wrong with a challenge of the grey cells.

4:10 am

Congratulations sprite!

4:10 am

I remember those days sprite but now he has a wife

4:10 am

she's Mrs. Clean

4:10 am

ah, yay for the wife. Mine is 13 and won't marry anytime soon, I hope. Will learn to live with the pig hangout for now

4:11 am

yeah and so they're either both slobs together or ....love has taught them to be neater!

4:11 am

I don't know what he was like as a boy, but my husband is considerably tidier than me.

4:11 am

I heard a rumor that you iron haz

4:11 am

sigh not mine haz...cause he always had his mother to run around picking up after him at every turn

4:11 am

my son, that is, not my wife of course. Haz, you love ironing. What are you talking about.

4:12 am

I love ironing! I was thinking about the appliance the other day and decided that I would probably nomiate an iron. You can hand wash, you can put things out to dry, you can only use an iron to get those creases out!

4:13 am

That's what Jewish mother's from slavic countries pre and post war did

4:13 am

or just fold by hand, neatly, and have someone heavy sit on it for a while.

4:13 am

I have a basket in my laundry that's been there for 2 years I'll send it to you

4:13 am

I'm just not as tidy as husband. He knows where everything is all the time, it's guesswork for me sometimes.

4:13 am

sure hope you're not talking to me westie, cause it'll sit here for another 2 decades

4:14 am

just my father had 5 sisters and a grandmother and aunt that lived with the family do you think he ever lifted a finger?

4:14 am

sometimes I fold my laundry, put it in a basket, put another basket with clean laundry on top of it and after a while the bottom one looks ironed.

4:14 am

no just I plan to send it to haz

4:14 am

lol sprite

4:14 am

hey so that's a universal trend cause I do the same spritey

4:15 am

it works!

4:15 am

The secret to ironing is to do it as quickly as possible, just don't let it build up into a mountain. I enjoy the sense of a task completed.

4:15 am

Just don't ask me to mend any of it.

4:15 am

mend? Mending always takes me so long to get to that my kids have outgrown all I needed to mend

Mend? Goes to dictionary, lol.

4:15 am

Haz does the ironing, I do the mending. LOL. Good Morning everyone.

4:15 am

my MIL irons underwear; I'll be damned if I do that

4:16 am

I ironed my husband's uniform shirts when we first got married I ironed and cried

4:16 am

hi Jac!

4:16 am

hi jac

4:16 am

There we are, Jac has arrived to take care of buttons and hems.

4:16 am

just my mother did my father's

4:16 am

hi jac

4:16 am

my MIL did too. She came here to help out a bit when Tim was born and then we came home from the hospital to find everything ironed! Underwear, t-shirts, everything! Brilliant.

4:17 am

well my hubby (after 30 years now) knows Not to expect that

4:17 am

I do draw the line at underwear, although my mother ironed everything.

4:17 am

even socks!

4:18 am

my mil ironed diapers

4:18 am

she said they looked so nice

4:18 am

My MIL is such a NON procrastinator that it's actually unreal...

4:18 am

I ironed diapers... already into the right fold. But must admit not for long, started on the throw-away kind pretty soon.

4:18 am

and I am soooo her opposite

4:19 am

of course for the last 5 months I have had the perfect excuse!

4:19 am

I would rather not have your excuse just

4:19 am

It's just a personality thing. I think there are some women who have huge amounts of energy and who would feel worse if they couldn't get on and do things.

4:20 am

lol spritey and now, throw aways are sooooo politically incorrect..

4:20 am

could be Haz but a lot of it has to do with upbringing and where and when that took place

4:22 am

That's true - I come from a long line of women who loved to wash and iron and clean so it's probably hard-wired into me somewhere. I still don't think I'm anywhere close to their standards.

4:22 am

On the subject of nappies (diapers) - I have to observe that my friends who used terry nappies on their babies found that they got nappy rash. My 2, who were in disposables, never got it.

4:22 am

well I love a clean environment but hate cleaning, so there's the conundrum

4:22 am

Jac, it all depends on how often the nappies are changed.

4:23 am

If the terry users weren't changing often enough (to avoid having to wash so much) then that's the problem.

4:23 am

True. Haz. I think the disposables also lock the moisture in away from the skin.

4:24 am

maybe the terry itself was irritating, here if you used washables they were almost like, if not, soft flannels

4:24 am

But, disposables aren't very 'green', I guess.

4:24 am

They're pretty amazing nowadays (the disposables) but my theory is that the toddlers are too comfortable now and don't progress away from nappies as quickly.

4:24 am

my neighbour is such a woman. Always busy, but never stressed. I admire her endlessly.

4:25 am

well they don't seem to break down too easily in landfills...

4:25 am

I used terry nappies most of the time - boil washed with soap flakes and used liners with them. They were fine, practially no problems with nappy rash.

4:25 am

And how I loved the sight of a line of nappies blowing in the wind!

4:25 am

Haz - the potty tranining is really up to the parents and patience and persistance. If you don't make too big a drama out of it, it soon progresses.

4:25 am

my mother got me a diaper service for our 3rd baby

4:26 am

must love and leave you guys! Have fun all and thanks for the help.

4:26 am

'Bye Sprite. Enjoy the day.

4:26 am

bye sprite had fun as usual

4:26 am

I know, Jac. It seems like a mountain to climb at the time but like everything else it happens.

4:26 am

Bye sprite.

4:27 am

westie, has your son arisen? mine has :(

4:27 am

I'll call him and ask lol

4:27 am

just kidding..it's light but very cloudy

4:27 am

not that son the sun oops lol

4:28 am

Haz - Yes. You just have to ask yourself how many kids start school in nappies. LOL.

4:28 am

these typos are a killer (wink)

4:28 am

the new training pants now let them feel wet

4:28 am

Lol, JustMar. As it happens, my son has just arisen. Just came downstairs and said 'Good Morning'.

4:29 am

The sun, on the other hand, has just hidden itself behind a cloud.

4:29 am

lol but it must be 4 or 5 hours later there than here (5:29am)

4:30 am

We had sunshine yesterday for a few hours but we're back to normal today.

4:30 am

10.30am, JustMar.

4:30 am

lol well we had summer on Thurs but it only lasted a day

4:30 am

nice sleepin for the son

4:31 am

I hope you took a picture just

4:31 am

I do hope this summer's not going to be a washout like the last two have been.

4:31 am

a picture? lol right, like I'm gonna climb up the stairs for that

4:32 am

The whole country joins you in that devout hope, Jac.

4:32 am

our last 2 have been the same jac :(

4:32 am

don't you have windows on the bottom floor?

4:32 am

I was wondering that, West...

4:32 am

yes but my camera is nowhere near

4:33 am

Ah!

4:33 am

ahh

4:33 am

neither is my cell phone with it's camera cause hubs dropped his in a parking lot which led to it being driven over, ergo dead, so he's now taken over mine

4:33 am

not that I really needed it :(

4:33 am

70 left to find and I think it's time for a break, and for me to feed the cat. BBL.

4:34 am

See you later, Jac. Time for me to go as well and get the day into shape. Happy babbling!

4:34 am

bye jac I'm waiting for mine to come home

4:34 am

wow I am quite brain dead with 84 left and arrived about 20 min after flip

4:35 am

please hold the door I'm coming too

4:35 am

I think I babble more than I babble (if you get my drift)

4:35 am

bye for now

4:35 am

Having to get my cat in at night when possible now, as we have a badger visiting the garden and the cat's likely to have a go at it.

4:35 am

so yours cats are outdoor cats,west?

4:35 am

Happy Babbling all. See you later.

We have badgers visiting, and the cats ignore them and the badgers ignore the cats.

4:36 am

bye jac take care

4:36 am

bye jac

4:36 am

Poor badger. If TB doesn't get him, the cat will. Bye!

4:36 am

2 are and 1 isn't although the 19 year old does sit on the stoop when the sun is out

4:36 am

my hubby has a badger coat and hat (maybe almost 30 years old) :)

4:37 am

is he very tiny?

4:37 am

the coat not the hubby (30 years)

4:37 am

lol not really, shortish though ...he hasn't worn it in maybe 20 years (too heavy) lol

4:38 am

somehow I'm thinking wind in the willows

4:38 am

I'm getting silly now just pictured a little tiny badger coat

4:38 am

my ob/gyn was impressed with it (lol my son is 27)

4:39 am

hey minks are small too ya know

4:39 am

as are ermines

4:39 am

yes but they don't live in little houses

4:39 am

4:40 am

4:40 am

4:40 am

I got the Universe Part 3 for him for Father's Day

4:41 am

we have 1 and 2

4:41 am

oh nice west....I'm still watching season 2....around the 12th epi ....it's still good but not as good as the first season, ya think?

4:41 am

I agree we really liked 1

4:42 am

you'll like Cosmos too

4:42 am

one was totally awesome...

4:42 am

can't seem to find it on line...have been looking

4:42 am

if we had dvd recorder I'd copy it for you

4:43 am

but it's probably blocked

4:43 am

I wish I was a kid they can get by anything

4:44 am

as a consolation for moi, we bought (but we desperately needed) a new tv so we went 1080p hi def...with a surround sound dvd system...only hubby hasn't connected said surround sound dvd system so even if I had the dvd I could only play it on my computer at the moment :(

4:45 am

would you like me to come over and light a fire under him? lol

4:45 am

I mean I could only play it on my computer in dvd at the moment

4:45 am

appreciate the thought westie, thank you

4:46 am

we bought ourselves a big tv and I bought him a bose surround sound for Christmas so he hooked it up

4:46 am

nice!

4:46 am

but the wires drive me crazy

4:46 am

the thing is tho...he's such a "handyman" I don't know what's gotten into him

4:46 am

I knew he wouldn't get it

4:47 am

lol yeah such damn dust collectors too :(

4:47 am

he's fixing things? oh no

4:48 am

no hubs is a wonder with building and fixing stuff etc...he just doesn't have the time being a small business owner

4:48 am

and looking after his club footed wife

4:48 am

he sounds like a keeper

4:49 am

I'm very lucky, he's been amazing between work and winter and whatnot

4:49 am

well after 30 years, yeah think I'll keep him around for another while

4:49 am

the 3 w's

4:50 am

even thought he can drive round the bend (often) lol

4:50 am

is the business taking a hit with the economy flagging?

4:50 am

or does he do a lot of rentals?

4:50 am

I've come to learn that basically men just can;t thing 3 or 4 or so steps ahead of the game....they can only think in the "now"

4:51 am

sa

4:51 am

how true!!

4:51 am

yes and no westie, when times are tough people will always find the money to sooth their soles with music

5:04 am

the river spey is pretty high just now

I hope it does help our water tables in the long run...and at least its not the same area that flooded last year.

5:06 am

it needs time to soak through red or it just washes off you need a long period of drizzle to give it time

5:07 am

f's and k's finished yeah!!!!

Well, I do hope it stops for a day or two, but the skies are ery stormy looking this morning, still.,.

Yaaay for F and K.

5:08 am

it was lovely at 7:30 but now it's grey windy and cool

I have to say, its better than the 90 degree weather and fires we were having...

5:09 am

good news, red - i hope it was acceptable

5:21 am

oh! congrats red!!!!!! was it as much as you hoped for?

it is low, but I think they were expecting a counter offer. and its still for 10 K more than I paid.

5:23 am

will it be enough though red?

I dont know yet, I got it all in email last night, and need the realtor to call me back.

I am going to find a way to make it enough!

5:24 am

you never know, there may be a counter offer yet, esp if they change the advertising to say under offer, that can push people to decide

NBT

5:24 am

wtg joshua

5:25 am

5:25 am

oasis

5:25 am

oasis

5:25 am

thanks jacq, tat was a clear clue.

5:26 am

5:27 am

better to be clear than overly vague and pompous i think

5:27 am

lol

Well, sun has just fully risen, so I must go away for my morning run, will be back in an hour or so. Grrrr.

5:27 am

i hope it sells for more red, this has been hanging over your head long enough

Yes, I would almost sell it for one dollar if I could.

5:28 am

don't do that!! i'll give you two, then sell it back for 4, we could start something with the bidding and you may get laods

Oh no, I just saw 34 P words! something to think on while I jog.... BBL.

5:28 am

have fun red

ok, halfway and bedtime

5:57 am

6:09 am

Hah! My favorite pirate from Tradewinds game is in the grid for a nice 8/9 combo. G'd morning Babblers!

Is that the G one that is also a monster in WB?

6:10 am

Yep, the red dude

6:11 am

6:14 am

hello again everyone

6:14 am

Hello all

HI again Mom and Jac

6:15 am

heya lady, heya mom

6:16 am

big one today

its friendly

6:17 am

good... I just got an 8 and a 9 right out of the gate... very unlike me, LOL.

6:17 am

it's not too bad

6:17 am

the other 9 needs a change of the last letter

how did i miss the irish food

6:17 am

OMG... I saw that as you typed it! Cool.

its my fav food and sadly the store were i get the best ones from is closing for good

6:19 am

Irish food is your favorite??? What does that consist of burned meat and boiled potatoes? LOL!

6:19 am

Actually I LOVE Irish Oatmeal.

no just mashed

6:20 am

find out who their supplier is, they'll gladly tell you

Independant farmer.

6:20 am

My best friend buys me some every Christmas because I am too cheap to buy it myself... But, I do LOVE it!

6:20 am

then contact him, i'm sure he'll deal with you, it's all sales at the end of the day

I have no idea its a supermarket well it was :(

may just say stuff it and grow my own

6:21 am

go for it!!! even better

6:21 am

Good luck herin.

6:21 am

have to go my beautiful baby is awake

6:21 am

have fun all

I am rather pissy about it as the store is being bought out by a major store and rebranded which sucks after 22 years in the community

6:22 am

I am trying to grow a stupid herb garden in my kitchen window... not having all that much success. But I have not given up hope yet.

6:22 am

Bye Jac

Bye Jac

6:22 am

Babies trump babble!

6:22 am

Yeah... those independents just can't compete oftentimes.

6:23 am

We have a very nice independent grocer in town, which seems to be doing great (just expanded, even). I always buy my produce and often my meat there. Much nicer stuff and really not that much more expensive.

6:24 am

I love it, as I can walk there with my shopping bags, pick up my stuff, and meander home... I feel positively European!

6:24 am

Oh, and the bread... did I mention the bread??? Delicious!

that is lovely. http://tinyurl.com/qh24hm this is the store that sucs

6:26 am

I admit though that for dry goods, etc... I do use the major retailer, as the prices at the independent are really insane for those items (especially cleaning supplies). But I do support them by purchasing the other items there. They are also great to the community... always giving back to local fundraisers, etc.. really nice people!

I buy allot of organic goods which is brilant

6:28 am

I just went to the site... that is a shame. Especially considering that in many areas the organic grocer is making somewhat of a comeback.

6:28 am

Maybe they will keep the organic section?

6:28 am

Even our major supermarkets have organic sections now.... at least dairy and produce.

6:29 am

We also have a HUGE Whole Foods Market in town.

hi all!

6:29 am

It's funny, I sound like I live in some major hub... I live in a town of 10,000... very small. But, we are in a very populous county!

6:29 am

Hey TO.

6:29 am

Haven't seen you in a while.

6:30 am

I think the last time you were on you were trying to get kidnapped from your job... how's that going? LOL!

no work talk on holiday :)

6:31 am

ha ha!

here i sit instead of getting ready to drive up there

Hi TO

Mom its no happpy for me now

6:32 am

Oh, you have to work today?

6:33 am

No, Herin, Iunderstand.

6:33 am

What time is it in Australia, anyway?

hi herein

930pm

6:35 am

wow... 14 hours ahead... for whatever reason I just never realized that... No excuse, of course... just never gave it a thought!

6:35 am

Need another cup of coffee... only 7:30 AM here!

The reason they are selling the stores are no profit

6:38 am

Like I said, maybe they will have at least an organic section.

No idea but i do loath buying from a store that has a nasty ethic

6:39 am

I hear ya.

6:39 am

I won't shop at Wal-Mart.

6:39 am

But they seem to do just fine without me, sadly.

Oh I heard Wal -Mart was a shade of evil

anyone have the 8 or 9 yet?

6:39 am

Oh yeah.

6:40 am

Yes.... think silky, fairy-like string.

6:40 am

My philosophy is pay $1 more for it at Target!

Or that red monster in WB cartoons

6:41 am

LOL!

ty

6:41 am

yvw

6:41 am

kudos to you TO, as I think that may have been the worst clue ever, LOL!

6:42 am

I was just thinking... hmmm, how can I clue that better???

Mom how can i morally buy meat at a store that has been labeled as a suplier of meat from tortured animals

:/ i do not have one 7! this grid cries out for the 4 & five letter words;can't see the forest for the trees!

6:44 am

You can't... but others will! I guess you will have to find another alternative. Around here we can buy in bulk from a supplier... maybe get together with some people and do that.

6:44 am

I do not either TO, but, as usual, I have been chatting away.

6:44 am

lol TO I only have 1 x 7 and was expecting the grid to be a tad friendlier today. Hi all :)

go7, plural of go6, begins same as red monster

6:45 am

It doesn't seem too, too bad.

http://tinyurl.com/qk84y5 this is the news story. My mum and dad live in that state and her next door neighbour dumped a pound of bacon back into the store. She said she didn't care if she didn't get her money back she wasn't eating it so ner

ty ce ce..hey, fm!

CEE CEE and FMitch with clothes how pleasant

6:45 am

Nice to see you TO :)

6:46 am

OK, clearly I misinterpreted the red monster clue from before... I don't know it... will have to look it up.

just wish i knew this monster...

6:46 am

I'm back to "normal" now herin :)

*mutters something about what is normality*

6:46 am

Never mind... have the red monster.

6:47 am

You do, TO.... we got that one! Its the stringy thing.

go = extremely delicate (mom was right earlier!!)

a fine, filmy cobweb seen on grass or bushes or floating in the air in calm weather, esp. in autumn.

6:48 am

lol very true herin. Mind you it is so lovely and warm here today.

oh, ok.

6:48 am

OK... got the 6 and 7... g's are done.

hehee no no keep your clothes on please

6:49 am

excellent clue herin, I have been tryingt o spell that correctly for ages today.

6:49 am

I never heard that word in my life... maybe because I'm not Welsh... LOL.

clue the 6/7pls? ty

IF at first you can't succeed google or dictionary foo

6:49 am

Herin clearly gives better clues than me...

I just use the dictionary.

this gird needs an l...herin is that directed at me?

6:50 am

TO... same beginning as the red monster (first 5 letters) then add a consonant for the 6... make it plural for the 7.

Clue is at you

herin wehave that one , but ty

thats ok

6:55 am

lol, just found the to7/8 combo, am glad to find it just means a drunkard as modern useage has that word meaning something else.

I think its more suitable term for my ex fm :D

6:56 am

I only know the drunkard meaning... never knew it had a more modern usage, LOL.

6:57 am

that sounds about what I was thinking and was agog when enable accepted the word! You gotta love enable sometimes.

6:57 am

but, as my 13-year-old is fond of telling me... I'm a square!

is it a compund word?

6:58 am

well sorta yes TO. You want a clue?

7:00 am

what a potter does on his wheel

7:01 am

Aw Kateq I was giving her a chance to have a look see :(

7:01 am

cannot believe di4/5 is allowed... and it means what it means in the vernacular... LOL.

7:02 am

Also, Kate... no fair including a part of the answer in your clue... LOL!

welli am getting a long look see---still looking

7:02 am

To throw a kitchen item perhaps?

i think it is too early, my brain is asleep

7:02 am

You need more coffee.

7:02 am

sorry--didn't tink--too earlt I guess

7:03 am

You get some coffee too sister!

Hi and Peri your kitty is awesome

7:55 am

Congrats FM!

7:55 am

thanks herin

7:56 am

Hoorah for you! I don't like this grid and I don't particularly have time for it, but I'll do it anyway. It is gorgeous here again as well (and not as hot as our 30 degree C day yesterday) but I do need to remember to put on sunblock before I go out. For NS, 30C is WAY too hot for May. I like 25. In July.

7:56 am

going for a walk, bbs

clue pls for pa 7/8?ty

er, could you do that in fahrenheit?

7:58 am

wow you have warmed up there Uni, it's about 19 here and so lovely.

7:58 am

Umm, I've no clue about fahrenheit unless I am looking at a thermometer, give me a sec.

7:58 am

75 is 27 TO thats the way I guage it

7:58 am

30c = 86f, 25c=77f. Apparently.

7:59 am

pa7 pa**erby & much *** about nothing

86 is a tad warm

7:59 am

Especially for May...With no breeze.

7:59 am

In Nova Scotia! :)

8:00 am

so there are wierd temps going on all over the planet then?

ty lynxxx!

8:01 am

Felt much more like one freaky warm day to me, FM. But I am also a long standin believer that every so many thousand years the planet heats up and cools down, and while we aren't helping, we can't stop it either.

8:02 am

Actually I'm with you on thtat one Uni.

8:02 am

hope you are right

8:04 am

Computers and the power to digest information has raised a whole lot of questions and not that many answers yet.

8:04 am

I'm really interested in getting some spare time so I can look up this archaeological discovery...theoretically, the 'new' oldest human. Called Ida. That sort of thing fascinates me.

tu7pls?

8:05 am

Perhaps human was not the word to use. Ancestor is more appropriate.

sorry, to7

there's a TV special on IDA

8:06 am

There is a book on it that is being released soon. I want it. :)

8:06 am

to7 - the one I have is to chuck a pan

8:07 am

Oh I wonder if that is the same news here. Re the fossil of a lemur type creature?

ty again, lynxxx. i think nay more and i may have to give you my points ;)

yes

found in germany by a norwegian guy I think

8:08 am

She is a 47 million yearold "perfectly preserved primate". Very cool.Theoretically the link between man and animal.

8:09 am

anyone have the k that is not the one Keystone K***?

8:09 am

Much older than Lucy, obviously. Although Lucy is still fascinating.

8:09 am

yup thats the same coverage we have had here, am very interested to see the prog.

8:09 am

What are you all saying?? that you believe in evolution??? For shame!

8:09 am

never mind the k... I found it.

God created evolution so it's all good

at5 clue pls?

8:10 am

Not sure if you are being serious or not there mom re evolution

8:10 am

I figure she had a hand in it.

8:11 am

add the sometimes vowel TO

8:11 am

Kidding FM

8:11 am

I forgot that I am on babble. There *are* actually many people here who would be offended by my talk about evolution. **Piping back down and diving back in grid!**

8:11 am

Uni , don't go!!!!!!!

8:12 am

no offence down here

8:12 am

Not gone. Just gridding!

ty. uni, it's too quiet in here. nice, peacefull coexistence. like babble of old. ;)

8:12 am

I need to head out soon to meet someone and I need some brekkie, so it is very good for me to be hush hush and get some words in.

8:12 am

Wasn't sure mom but thats OK cos we all have our own beliefs and this is an open forum.

8:12 am

Like I said... kidding... the lemur (Ida) thing looks interesting.. hope its not a hoax.

8:13 am

Oh and looking at the time I need food too.

it's not a hoax

8:14 am

Back in a while :)

8:14 am

I am always willing to listen to others opinions.

8:14 am

Doesn't seem like it...they've been investigating for quite a while. But there have been many fakes in the past. **brekkie time

8:14 am

There was a hoax about 20 years ago(???) was there not? Or am I crazy?

8:14 am

Bye Uni have a great day.

bye, uni. od5 pls?

8:15 am

ditto likewise mom re yr comment at 8.14

8:26 am

Yeah... none of us have one... so I am going first, at $100 bucks/pop we have to budget, LOL!.

8:26 am

My husband formerly had one, so his is easier... but my daughter's is a pain in the neck... so I have to get mine first. Then "renew" his, then get hers.

8:27 am

Because as of 6/30 you need it to go to Canada, Mexico, USVI, etc.

where do you have to go?

8:27 am

Elmwood Park or Paramus.

WOW that is wow

8:27 am

I actually have to get the hubby up and moving.

What is USVI?

8:28 am

Is that WOW for us herin???

8:28 am

U.S. Virgin Islands

yes i thought you could wander back and forth as you pleased as long as you had residency proof

8:28 am

We were thinking about going skiing in Canada next Christmas... so I figure I might as well do this nonsense now.

8:29 am

No wandering allowed after 6/30!

that is so i don't know stupid

*maybe*

8:29 am

I guess I 'get' Canada... but, Mexico???? Who would want to stay there, LOL!

8:29 am

I am surprised it took this long to be a requirement, actually.

snort I know some one that likes Mexico for Mexican Cola

8:30 am

Years ago I remember being "waved" into Canada... did not even stop us!

8:30 am

Is Mexican Cola what I think it is??? Remember I am a square.

Um Coke aCOla apparently tastes different

8:31 am

It used to be like... sure, come on in, spend your American money... tee hee ta ha! No more.

8:31 am

Ok... that's what I figured it was herin.

carp msising one ty 4

they use cane sugar for Coca Cola in Mexico. I know someone who has it shipped to him.

8:45 am

Hello there! A nice big grid for the weekend.

8:46 am

lol and i get a nice big full resort full of 13 year old hockey players:(

8:46 am

OMG... better you than me Crossy.

8:47 am

Male or female? Oh wait, at 13 either is pretty horrific.

8:47 am

they swarm everywhere:(

8:47 am

male

8:47 am

All gangly limbs with attitude?

Crossy just get the high pressure hose and hose them down if they get mouthy, if all else false duct tape mouths

8:48 am

they are here for the final game for thier championship..you would think they would need rest or sleep before the game;(

8:49 am

i like the hose ida

You do not need sleep or rest you just need sugar and coffee

They do it on the Juvenile offenders who get on the roof. Hose them off and then wait till they get cold they come down quicker than expected.

8:50 am

mmmm:))

HI Haz to

8:50 am

But won't their self-esteem be harmed?

8:50 am

i could turn the heat off in the pool and hot tub...

Haz no not in this case

8:51 am

you kidding they are so wired,you could just touch thier shoulders and they jump ten feet

8:51 am

now IF they win today..then we have to batten down the hatches!!

8:52 am

I am kidding, you're right. Hopefully they'll not cause too many problems for you.

8:53 am

they are good kids,just excited thiwer team name is the underdogs lol

They will be fine just threaten them to dob them to their coach that usually works

8:54 am

ill get the coach to get them all to do a garbage sweep of the entire complex:)

That will work. My friends kid if he doesn't behave she threatens him that she will speak to either coach or Sarg what ever person is closest

8:55 am

Breakfast on Pluto - not your normal irish movie -interesting

8:56 am

What are normal Irish movies?

8:56 am

when the reality shows first started coming out and our boy was about 4 or 5,there was this one called boot camp and it had the traditional foul mouthed sargent hollering in the recruits faces.well we told our son that if he didnt behave we would get "the man in the hat" to come yell at him lol

8:56 am

sad & funny I find - perhaps I have not seen enough?

nice Crossy. My friends kid is in the footy and Airforce Cadet

8:57 am

tarditional irish movie= single malt whiskey and pet dimes? lol ..sorry

8:57 am

mm darn typos

night all

8:58 am

nite herin

8:58 am

bye Infernal

good luck there Crossy

Bye Lynxx

8:59 am

No, I was just asking about what the perception of a normal I Irish movie was - I'm not a great film goer so don't know too much about any of them. I'm reading the Wiki entry for Breakfast on Pluto. Complicated!

9:00 am

dont think ive ever seen a traditional irish movie..though i love the female gaelic type of singing

9:00 am

But I see Liam Neeson is in it and Stephen Rea (went to my school many years before me)

9:02 am

Irish movie I love: Waking Ned Devine.

9:03 am

Is that the one where they're transporting a corpse on a motorbike?

9:03 am

Morning ll. Could someone tell e if it's my computer or a glitch in the game: whenever Icome here these days I don't SEE a complete grid; it's mostly a green box with just a few letters showing (today I can only see 10 letter tielseverything else is green)

9:04 am

you had this problem a few days ago also eh nef?

9:04 am

the game is running fine,you may need to reinstall it

9:04 am

I think its you Nef - perhaps you have used up your monthly quota?

9:04 am

you did the temp files and cookies?

9:05 am

good morning, all :)

9:05 am

hi C'nan

9:05 am

I think so.. it's been a while.. but I just remember liking it... basically, he wins the Irish lottery, but he's dead... the family wants to collect, but they have to present him... so, yes... there may be a mororbike scene.

9:05 am

Hello cybernan.

9:05 am

morning

9:05 am

Crossy, it's happening every time I come here now - for at least the last 2 weeks. I'm now playing off the tile stat boxes (which adds an interesting twist to things)

9:06 am

That's the one, mom. It's very funny, filmed in the Isle of Man, would you believe?

9:06 am

Wow Nef...

9:06 am

id reinstall babble then

9:06 am

cause it is fine on this end

9:06 am

Yes Haz I think I knew that.

9:06 am

so,remove all current instances of the install you have and liad it fresh

9:07 am

load

9:07 am

I also love The Snapper (I think that's the name... girl gets pregnant while the fleet is in... won't name the father... Colm Meany from Star Trek The Next Generation is the girls father)... funny!

9:07 am

Thanks for the help. I'm on a Mac;and just got (new to me) G5 yesterday but haven't set it up yet.Mybe that will help.

9:07 am

9:08 am

9:09 am

9:09 am

LOL, Crossy! I'll give up for now and put up my new computer I guess. Maybe once I get it running things will be 100% better here

AUSSIE!!! RED!!!

EVERYONE ELSE!!

lol

Hi Lindrick, feeling nicely?

not yet hubby isn't home!! LOL

5:15 pm

{{Aussie, Red, Lindrick}} Group hug!

I'm good thanks Red!!

(((((MOM))))))

5:15 pm

I try very hard, I don't know how to explain this any easier..... When we lost our little boy 14 years ago, we didn't think we were going to have another chance at being parents. It all seemed so hard. So, when Georgia finally came along, we made up for everything we couldn't give Nicholas. Does that make sense ??

Hi Mom!!!!!

5:15 pm

{{Lindrick}} how are you?

5:15 pm

LINDYPOOS !!!!!! MOMMY DEAREST !!!!!

i'm good thanks Mom, & you?

5:16 pm

{{Aussie}} how are you? It makes perfect sense to me

5:16 pm

pretty good, LIndrick, thanks

makes perfect sense Aussie *hugs*

Oh yes, it makes a lot of sense, She is a ery precious and wanted child.

5:19 pm

I'm so glad...... Some people (Shayne's natural father included) seem to think we are spoiling her too much. Yes, we do spoil her some, but not to the extent that she is a spoilt child. She is a good girl, she has her times when she is not, but she is not a spoilt child.... Shayne's father made me so mad. He said to me one day, are you buying Georgia Thomas the Tank engine toys because you think you are buying them for Nicholas, because you know he is dead right ? I could have dropped through the floor....

5:19 pm

oh dear, Aussie, that is a jaw dropper for sure

aaww that is horrid!

very unthoughtful

5:21 pm

quick in and quick out, need to water the flower. I have loved seeing all of you again. {{Hugs}}

sorry gotta go pick hubby up

5:21 pm

bye bye Lindrick

*hugs* everyone

5:21 pm

Well, when I managed to speak again, I said to him, "do you not think I know exactly who I am buying the toys for ? Do you not think I know Nicholas is gone ? I don't think I want to talk to you any more at the moment" and I walked out of the room....

Oh Aussie, sometimes people are just mean.

5:21 pm

{{{Mom}}} {{{Lindy}}}

I think there is nothing wrong with loving your child, and having a lot of things generally does not "spoil" a child.

may you find peace and joy in the love you share with your child

5:24 pm

Please forgive me for sitting here with tears in my eyes, but it is tears of thankfullness for my Babble Family, who understand more than some of the real family I have.

5:25 pm

Thank you Neb, it is so very kind of you to say that. I have peace and love in my heart, and in my arms too.....

5:27 pm

((hugs)) Aussie, sounds like your father in law may have a bad case of foot in mouth disease...perhaps he meant well but he screwed it up well and proper. Know that you are the best Mum and a great person to boot!

5:27 pm

Lynx ! I love you for saying that !

5:28 pm

Lynx ! I love you for saying that !

5:28 pm

Ok, lets try that again !

5:28 pm

enough already, lol

5:29 pm

So nice in fact, I said it twice !

Awwww, lets do a group huggie.

5:33 pm

{{{{{Babble Group Hug}}}}}

5:38 pm

((( LATE GROUP HUG)))

9 left *stupid not words*

8:37 pm

TY LBD! I needed that combo too!

8:37 pm

now what fun would that be...other than giving kad a lot of grief in the PB?

8:37 pm

Oh, yes, kadresa, I need 2 to finish: st6-18 the 1st and ps5-12 the 2nd. Please.

8:37 pm

obviously those 9 words are not stupid herin they have managed to keep themselves well hidden

8:37 pm

I don't know how to do that knitter1

8:38 pm

I think I just saw Joe`1

8:38 pm

Ok...st6/18 the 1st is a plural of the 5/10 above it.

ha de ha knitter

8:39 pm

peach, change the last letter of the first ps5.12 to a normal plural letter

8:39 pm

The ps 5/12 is ps + vowels from word above and plural

8:39 pm

kad, look at the list again, dear one

8:39 pm

kadressa, it is the 1st of the st's.

8:39 pm

Told you this grid was too twisty for me -- never even thought to go that direction!! Firewords!!

8:39 pm

8:40 pm

Hooray!

8:40 pm

peach, the st6.18 means to stay in place, like frozen

8:40 pm

9:59 pm

night ibd

9:59 pm

word for a drinker

10:00 pm

ok, ignore my clue

10:00 pm

nite Ibd

10:01 pm

abnd me too -- diving into morewords for my last 32, iterruptd by dinner

10:01 pm

sorry about the typos

10:02 pm

what typos?

10:02 pm

Now we are both in the pb

10:02 pm

LOL, hoot!

10:02 pm

jilli missed the clue sorry

10:03 pm

not the clue but what herin said lol

10:05 pm

dinner is in the PB -- pork chop marinated in red wine, garlic, green onions, thyme, Worcerster sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, + baked potato and broccoli

10:05 pm

that was the clue

10:05 pm

sound good, headed that way lol

10:06 pm

can I have mine without the wine please. Sounds yummy

10:06 pm

anyway, I hope you got the to8 word!

10:06 pm

no sorry

10:06 pm

I make the broccoli w/lots of garlic in the wok

10:06 pm

no good without the wine -- all alcohol simmered off in the cooking

10:07 pm

ok, cherly -- throw cooking implements

10:07 pm

use the 4/4 and add a word for cooking utensil

10:07 pm

its true told us that in homeec

10:07 pm

it's not the alcohol it's the taste. I am very definitly not a wine person. Now a semi-dry sherry would be fine.

10:08 pm

duh fish me

10:09 pm

and plural

10:09 pm

but sherry is a wine....

10:10 pm

no sherry is my sister

10:10 pm

you could use sherry in the marinade I guess

10:10 pm

but it's not bitter. slightly sweet but usually not obvious. Just kinda softens the taste

10:10 pm

hehehehe

10:11 pm

cherly, soak you sister in lemonjuice, garlic, etc etc, lol!

10:11 pm

a good red wine is not bitter

10:11 pm

might be tough. Leave to soak for at least a day

10:12 pm

this is getting silly!

10:12 pm

jilli - I come from Long Island. We have at least a dozen prize-winning wineries. I've been to all of them. I've tasted everything. It just never suited my palette

10:12 pm

very silly lol

10:13 pm

what's wrong with silly?

10:13 pm

silly is GOOOOD

10:13 pm

very good for stress

10:13 pm

okay!

10:14 pm

yup!

10:14 pm

and tired people

10:14 pm

hoot -- do you like beer? (PS, I used to live in Forest Hills Gardens)

10:14 pm

yesyesyes!

10:15 pm

I know, it's Queens, but it's on LI

10:15 pm

I find beer bitter

10:15 pm

sorry guys never drink, and hate smell of beer

10:15 pm

Wow so near and so far. Last time I was in Forest Hills it was for the Simon & Garfunkle farewell concert

10:16 pm

so dont know much about subject

10:16 pm

to each her own, cherly

10:16 pm

Lat time I was in Forest hIlls was about 1945

10:16 pm

yep

10:16 pm

A very hoppy beer can be bitter. Try a porter or stout. I used to make a wicked double bock that no one considered bitter.

10:17 pm

no, 1946

10:17 pm

I was about 4-5 and living in Brooklyn

10:18 pm

I'll stick to wine, hoot, except occasionally an Alexander Keith India Pale Ale

10:18 pm

How on earth did you wind up in Canada???

10:18 pm

dinner timer going off -- back later -- still 32 words to find!

10:19 pm

Never heard of it.

10:19 pm

ok later

10:19 pm

Long story, hoot -- my bio may help if you click on my icon

10:19 pm

see you later jilli

10:20 pm

ttfn :)

10:23 pm

and cherly - just because you don't drink and hate the smell of beer, doesn't make you a bad person. :D

10:23 pm

hi all...

10:23 pm

ty hoot

10:24 pm

just my preference, dont feel others are bad if they do

10:24 pm

hi Pini

10:24 pm

hi pini

10:24 pm

<-- sits next to cherly...i don't drink much and passionately dislike beer, too ;)

10:24 pm

hi hoot and cherly

10:24 pm

I don't hate you either Pini

10:25 pm

* sigh of relief *

10:25 pm

years ago I drank half a wine cooler and got a huge migraine, my ex thought I was drunk

10:26 pm

sounds like I missed an interesting conversation tho

10:26 pm

just trusted my body that drinking wasnt for me after that

10:27 pm

aah - that'll do it. I can remember that happening to me once too. But I was drinking it to kill a toothache.

10:28 pm

I think there is something in wines, especially reds, that some people cannot take. Not sure it qualifies as an allergy but avoidance is best.

10:28 pm

I remember drinking in my younger days but not as much as others around me did...

10:29 pm

...one might say I'm a tea-toteler

10:29 pm

(or however you spell that darn word)

10:29 pm

me too pini, though I drink lots of tea

10:29 pm

What kind would you like? I've English Breakfast, Awake, Darjelling, and 203 others I can't remember

10:30 pm

not much into lots of tea (although Licorice Spice is good); and coffee, well that's right up there with beer

10:30 pm

NO - 2 or 3 others!

10:30 pm

that's alot of tea, hoot ;)

10:30 pm

* giggle *

10:30 pm

mainly stick to lipton, throw in rasberry too

10:30 pm

I agree - here is a cup of Licorice Spice

10:31 pm

btw: is every done?

10:31 pm

er... everyone?

10:31 pm

Well coffee nut that I am - I do like tea and BF ONLY drinks tea

10:31 pm

not me, 100 to go

10:31 pm

it's really weird, too, hoot...cuz I can't stand black licorice...but will drink the tea like there's no tomorrow!

10:31 pm

I am

10:32 pm

90 more here

10:32 pm

let's go cherly...we can follow the yellow brick road together! :)

10:32 pm

It's not the same taste. The tea tends to be clear the candy sorta muddy

10:33 pm

well come on - lets stop yakking!

10:33 pm

that explains it then, hoot... it's still MMMMMmmmm good!

10:33 pm

an + continent below N.A.

11:50 pm

ruru -- Nero is from "Sola-Nero winery, Niagara Falls, Ontario, cellared in Canada from imported and domestic wines" -- described as "Nero, Italian for dark, reflects the mysterious personality of red wine. The moon, a beacon in the darkness and symbolic of hidden passions, conjures up the emotions associated with red wine. Nero is soft in the mouth with rich black cherry and currant flavours and a hint of oak." Fortunately, it doesn't taste of bullshit.
