lol thanks jilli like your choice too
I have the same book, west, it was one of the creepiest ever!
I don't read creepy books
see a lot of spoofs of the movie
I've read a lot of Stephen King, but it was really pretty predictable, I thought.
I really like Stephen King we share the same birthday
and the movies usually butchered the books, imho.
I did read one Stephen King -- hubby gave it to me.
i only have 53 words i cant think anymore poof
bye ML good start
which one jilli?
night mlf
He used to be so much better, but then he got so wordy. Books got too long, I think.
I used to read a lot of King
he must have had a lot of time while he was recuperating
can't remember -- maybe The Shining?
but that was my early teens. =)
The Stand is probably his best
Was a long time ago.
Here's Johnny !!
I need a word from the middle N for NBT...
That was a neat TV series, too. The Stand, that is. Plus, it had Parker Lewis Can't Lose dude.

Hun is anything better?
lol ruru
hehehe ruru, I thought as much :)
lol, sprite!
herin, it turns out that when MM fell, he also wrenched the tendons in his thumb. no wonder he's so sore!
ouch rose!
ouch as long as himself is ok in general
I ahve been meaning to message you got busy
BUT, he's still riding the motorcycle. and he needs surgery on his shoulder. the surgeon says there is NO space at all in his AC joint, and that 1cm needs to come off his clavicle.
makes mine hurt just thinking about it
herin, no probs, been busy myself.
ouch ouch trice ouch
welcome back to the needle holder! I missed it! Though 3 grids with esteem slightly made up for it.

yay dart!!
wtg dart!
hi babrab
wtg dart
painful...missed an -ing...2 plurals..one singular...one root word and a few other lol
jilli: that was my first word! Always think of FranMag with that word.
me too, sprite :)
lol, sprite, as tempting as it seems, i'm just a big softy at heart, just couldn't do it to him. us girls are made of tough stuff, right?
hello, jilli... hope you had a most excellent weekend
yay for dart!!!
my friend says that her friend is sick with swine flu i say she is full of crap
beautiful weather, babrab
lol, herin -- you don't mince words!
she needs to have it checked out then herin
???? not possible unless she's been in contact with someone who has it.
No i don't JIll. She says he was in hospital all day yesturday. Well that could be a number of reasons PLUs they are not in the affected areas so far
oooohhhh, btw, did you realise our cruise ship is the one in quarantine in sydney?
no
not so nice for the passengers or did they get off?
Jill hun these people are drama queens since he has been in hospital ill tell the b.f that we are not visiting him
no terra in the grid today, sprite. blatant discrimination
too true, BabbleRabble!
westy, it was one of the passengers who fell ill. the whole ship is quarantined. * giggle * one of MM's work colleagues was on it. boy, he's not going to hear the en3 of it, once he returns to work
did you decide not to go?
those little id words are cute
no A, so no ar4 heinie word today, I'm amazed how often that comes up in grids, lol!
last time we were on a cruise they had staff members everywhere with spray bottles
no, sprite, i think by july it will be all over bar the shouting. * fingers, eyes, legs crossed *
Rose and anyone else that thinks i don't mince words Swine flu has been detected in only one area which is not near them and students that have had contact with OS students
we're planning one at the end of October hope all goes well
true rbud :) And another vote for The Exorcist, good one.
testing... have clues come up?? please?
nuh uh sprite lol
hi mrP and yes
thank you
(((((( mrp ))))) 48 sleeps to go!!!
oh yes, mrp -- a while ago, thank goodness and Lickety
brb
or at least I think so, lol, I see red, green and yellow flashes at the appropriate moments
ROse do you think it is possible?
what herin?
what i was saying?
argh it took me until now to spot the ending. As if I needed confirmation on having a very bad day today.
herin, what you said was correct
bad day, sprite? What happened?
no bad days, sprite. choose otherwise!
lousy night, too much pain, too much to do, not a good combination
hmmmm you are right there, BabbleRabble. Let me think on how.
hi sprite,and ladies! 56 left and no bottom e's...
hiya PAV, long time no see.

now I will oversleep for tennis in the morning
awww
and here I am, pleased to have only 43 left, using the list as soon as it arrived
such a ray of sunshine, our ruru :)
< 50 for me...and already am tired
this has been a tough one jili
lol sprite..
they've all been tough lately imho
ok I'll be back later in the day to finish,,,perhaps...haven't finishe the last two...
is it just me, or is this grid full of very weird words?
I concur jilli..
it is not the easiest of grids, rose
later, PAV!
just you rose...lol
bye for now, PAV
gee, thanx, ruru
Pav.. you get back here and finish this grid...
lol
words are not weird. people's perception of words is the key
well said BR
(ok.. use st 9 in a sentence)...lol
ah, our favourite lexiconologist. hi babrab
and people are never weird, just unique... (looks hopefully around in search of agreement)
fireworks
rofl, sprite.
the st 9 put new shoes on my horse
I still need to find that 9
gratz dee
TG DEE!!!
I know a lot of weird people.. they are often not wordy
I can be weird if I want too!
I admit to weirdness....and uniqueness as well!
YAYAY dee..
yay, Dee!!!
ty
oh, yeah? show us!! babrab
darn BabbleRabble, burst my bubble again... it was worth a try ;)
except for the tu 7 my other missing 3 were dome ones (plur and ti 4 and the robber) idiot me
I saw a frightening movie yesterday; wish I hadn't watched it
it was?
now, now, dee. no cursing yorself. that's our job! ;)
Liam Nisson... (sorry about sp) LOL granny in Taken
sounds like mine volley...congrats
shindlers list?
as a mom, I think it is the most frightening scenario ever
movie name "Taken"
taken?
never saw it
that, too, was heartwrenching
if it is about a child taken away, I will not watch it! *shudder*
was just released---- college kids traveling abroad abducted
ralph fiennes was unbelievable in that movie
st 9 -- add a concise, terse comment: p****, and familiar suffix
won't say more, so I don't spoil it; was terrified half of it and crying the rest
15 to go and I'm fading, goodnight all, be back in the morning
nite flosey
Think I will skip that one dee
I didn't realize the plot, or I would never have watched it
too real..
night flosey -- sleep well
be well, flosey
too real indeed, thanks for the warning
has anyone here seen sophie's choice?
me too... I need to get up early..
sleep well flosey, and dream pleasantly
nice to see all of you..
the sad part is... we should not be afraid of that kind of travel.... it scares the crap out of us and it shouldn't
have fun at tennis ru
night ruru
rose: yes I have
ruru, sleep well and don't get tangled in the net
sophies choice is a beautiful and sad movie
blubbered my way through most of it. and nite ruru
no kidding br... been there done that
my daughter should tour the world over and over again...(and she does), but it still scares me every time
*** hands kleenex to granny ***
Liam was fantastic btw ... and now ... off my soap box... and on to poofing
sophies choice chilled me to the bone. I am no good with movies like that.
nite, Dee
ta ruru, schindler's list did it to me as well. and MM still cries whenever he watches american beauty
nite rbud & all... ty for all of your help
thanks BabbleRabble for the 9 clue, finally found it.
American Beauty another great film
hugs; have a fantastic day / eve cya the flip *poof*
what's to cry about though?
Annette Benning is fantastic in that movie
bye dee.. I am right behind you..
i think at last count himself has over 200 dvds. personally, i don't see the issue he has with AB, but something stes him off every time
I once cried over Dumbo, so I can imagine how a movie can hit a sore spot.
I'm back. I'm not going away any more I miss too much.
wb west
i laughed til i cried at aladdin, does that count
thank you sprite
I cried watching the miracle at marcellinus
my all time best crying movie is Steel Magnolias
I give you half points for that one, rose
I have the book here, west, still need to read it though
but it had such a funny funny scene too west
that's another goody, westy. and thanx sprite
btw I saw taken it certainly didn't affect me the way it did Dee
our son and his bride danced to A Brand New World from Aladdin at their wedding
aw nice
I actually didn't think it was that good.
they did the Steel Magnolias play at Chemainus about 15 yrs ago and we all blubbered
our granddaughter is going to Australia in June with a group of college kids ( most of you know that already) I won't watch Taken until she gets back
I'd love to see the play jilli
ok I must be off to pick up Caya at school and take her to the doctor again. Please send some good wishes to her and her little pinky. She has school camp in 2 days :(
and now I'm going to bed with 34 left -- g'night all!
night jilli, sleep well
oh no sprite I wish her well
good luck to Caya!
good idea westie, but the girls in the movie were silly wannabe grown ups and didn't have their wits about them
night jilli and gl sprite
be safe, sprite. May the gods of healing keep Caya in their care.
thank you! *poof*
good night jilli sleep well
later sprite and jilli
just how did you do the other day with staying up?
sleep well, jilli
well I only made it to 4pm....then had to crash
sounds like me didn't sleep last night and made it to 4:55 p.m. said I woud like down for an hour
woke up at 11:00 p.m.
lie down that is
lol like me, fresh and ready for a new night
any rh words? I have ru 4,6,4
we need to move to Australia
no rh words
ok let's go
last is ru 5
one more ru
do you think mrp would take us in? lol
but I hate snakes and all the other creepy crawly stuff they got going there
well she certainly seems to have enough room plus a tv in each one of them!
we could gather the eggs
err you gather the eggs I'll milk the cows
she has cows too?
worked with the chickens when I was on a kibbutz (way back)..still find it hard to eat eggs
just kidding
how about we be the chefs?
how cool is that you were on a kibbutz?
I still can't get used to cooking for 2
chefs it is
lol me neither
btw was looking at your choice of book...
yes?
I watched that mini series I told you about the other day...The Lost Room..
was that about exorcism?
it was really good and seriously reminded my of the old Twilight Zone
oh those were classic
so not sure if you're into that
the guy from House, damn forget his name...had quite a big part he was great
Taub that's his character on house
the short one
also Kevin Pollack was in it
only saw House one time
I like him
oh you're kidding
I've heard it's much better now
I love watching him, he reminds me of me lol
has anyone seen "The Secret Window" with Johnny Depp? I liked it okay.
I like my doctors to be saintly
even make believe ones
it is the last 2 seasons have really come back...he is really a phenomenal actor
no rbud haven't seen it like Depp though
he's got the most incredible descriptive eyes
I'll give him that just
no haven't either
plus we have that limping thing in common!
empathy galore
my last good book was Getting thee Most From Dummy Books
sigh hate grids with tons of ie and ei words
only I don't guzzle oxycodin
or whatever it is he takes
the gerund was handier than I thought it would be
how did his limp occur did they ever say?
I don't remember...I never watched the 1st season
limp? you talking about chester?
oh Dennis Weaver was so good in that
well actually no, Dr. House and me but we could add chester
dennis weaver in gunsmoke
I knew a realtor named Betty House lol
I knew one named Urban Renewal
his character does drive a motorbike so maybe he had had an accident
you did not
lol
theres a new 1/2 hour series starting in June called Nurse Jackie with Edie Falco..
that should be good
I just found a pre-air of the pilot will let you know how it is
I saw that thought it was porn
just the title
lol This is the description: Nurse Jackie is an upcoming dark comedy series to premiere in June 2009 on Showtime. The series stars Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winner Edie Falco as title character Jackie Peyton, a "flawed" emergency room nurse in a New York City hospital. For Jackie, "Every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions."Showtime says the half-hour series "is at turns wicked, heartbreaking and funny."
redturtlehead should love that one
lol I was thinking the same thing
Edie was the perfect Carmella
I originally saw her in "Oz" as a prison guard
never saw that looked to heavy
did you ever watch that series?
it was insane....very very good
too*
would you believe I've only seen the 1st season of Sopranos
no you should get the rest
I will
Hello all. Oz was great, very addictive
hi lynxx I thought so too
it didn't have anything to do with Australia did it?
and hi lyn
no
no it's the name of the prison shortened to OZ from Oswald max security
hello, lyn
I knew it was about prison
hi BabRab
* What did the dolphin say to the whale when he bumped into him? * I didn't do it on porpoise.

good night just hope you sleep
it's empty so no biggie lol
thx hope you do too west...poof
u
oh finally!! I am free of canteen bull! for tonight anyway
happy for you mrp do you have a nice glass of wine?
indeedy do west!
lol that's good
what's all the flak about do they want you to raise the prices?
nah, they have no guidelines in place, no terms of reference for my committee... and they are pulling and pushing me one way of the other. Without those guidelines, they should just leave me to do my job and stop giving me drama. I was even 'threathened' that if I ask for 2 more meetings about canteen, that the president of P&C will resign... what a dick!
I would never threaten someone that I would quit because of help needed
you said it
better off without him?
better off indeed.
can't figure out why they won't just let you handle things you're obviously good at it
well west... they need to back up and let me do my job without interferring. It has been nothing but rubbish this term.
However, once the guidelines are in place, they have to abide by then.
do they have a committee working on them and are you on it I hope?
I do have a committee, but they have no interest in the canteen.
how are the guidelines supposed to be written?
I should be involved in canteen committee meetings, but they have been running them without me. It is cause they think they are above me... however, they forget that I manage the canteen and it is MY canteen
they are supposed to be agreed on by all involved
they sound so petty
and they don't involve me cause they think I should have no say.
if they continue down this path, they will lose.
indeed west!
that's just plain dumb
are you a volunteer?
no, I am a paid manager.
I have no vote, but I do have a say.
did you start out volunteering?
yes, for over 3 years
they still treat you like one
well, I guess so, but with no regard to what I was employed to do.
Hi Mrp how is Madison ??? Was she ok when her plaster came off ???
Hi norma! she is fine now! still has no feeling in the digit, but it is coming back slowly!
They are having a big day tomorrow as it is education week, and they have open day... have to perform with both band and choir.
Give her my very best and tell her I will plot her progress thru her mom lol
awww, thanks norma!
mrp does maddison play an instrument too?
and hello norma
Hi West
good morning again all
Morning sprite
hi sprite how is caya?
pinky still twice the size it should be, but slightly better than last week. She is to try without bandages, to see if she can keep the muscles in form a bit. Still very painful though. Thanks for asking :)
what did she do to it?
she stopped a ball from scoring with football, lol.
ouch
it was cute, when she showed me her pink, she said: but I DID stop the ball!
she would get along great with Maddison
a boy at school just kicked the ball from up very close and she got it on her pink.
would? Does! Those girls can chat together like no end, hahaha.
that's so nice
yes it is. They get along very well.
I imagine they compare injuries too
I think Maddie wins, having to have plaster and all, poor girl.
not sure if she'd call it 'winning' lol
grin, no I think not! It is awful for those active young girls to be limited.
are your children as fluent in English as you are sprite?
not yet, but they will be. Caya can chat pretty well with Maddie already, and we are still reading english every school morning. Tim is interested in song lyrics atm so that will help too :)
that is so wonderful
my son wants me to read a french book with him as well! Help! I think I will do Le petit prince, that level I can manage, I hope.
everyone should be able to speak another language
how are you doing, west, gridwise and other?
I have 4 left all t's just trudging along
ah nice!
cats keep interrupting lol
*** Fireworks***
fine otherwise except for this insomnia
yay norma!!
wtg Norma
I hate for you to have insomnia, but I secretly enjoy your company :)
thanks sprite and I enjoy yours too
Bye all cu 2morrow
bye Norma have a good day
bye norma take care
Have a good day all ..... Poof
44 left here and slowing down considerably
fireworks..finally
wtg west!
sprite I thought you finished before you left
thanks!!
oh no not by a long shot
the grid is decidedly normal except for the 9 but you have that
so, going to try and sleep a bit more now?
I suppose that would be a good idea lol
I'll get my second wind soon, I hope. Usually do.
take care until next time sprite
sleep well, west, and easily.
thanks and here's hoping you'll get that 2nd wind
either that or I will plod happily along until the last one :)
Good morning all. What is it with eeeeeeeee's lately?!
hi Eva, they are in your honour of course
oh of course. how silly of me.
when they are done, we will get a series of V-grids and after that it will be A A A A A.
I'm truly honored.
it shows
and fireworks. As west said, not a bad grid at all.
anything I may help you with before I go, Eva?
I'm not through with my first run through so I think I'll slog it out for now but thanks!
enjoy! It's a good one, not too many weird words.
that
that's good to hear.
Good morning everyone.
Hello, elder
hello :)
Hello there. Babble I do like your quote with regard to Mental health.
I know it well
how is the visit to sark going?
Sadly, It is most apt to anyone who has or knows someone with mental health difficulties.
Each day is a new beginning.
Yes, in the hope that tomorrow will bring another better day.
brilliant Bab Rab, ata and I had a fab day yesterday
Good to hear everyone is having fun.
my new icon is Oscar and Hobbit dashing about together - they have hit it off big time
good to hear that all are enjoying the respite
all that space for them to peruse.
how are you both?
Elder! Liz! G'd Morning Babblers!
I am fine ...
hiya Lori :)
LoriP !! good to see you :)
Nice pick of the fur frenzy! Ata Hari still there?
***Gentle hugs to elder so as not to aggrivate back, I only aggrivate mentally...*** :p
*pic even
Yep Ata's gone off to the beach whilst I'm at the shop today. We had a great day yesterday :)
Lorip *hugs* :)
We were chatting about babble while we walked the dogs this morning and both our fav words are in the grid today!
I hope 'yer all having a great time, minus those pesky customers..... :)
They SOOOOO get in the way. What do they think this is??? A shop???? lol
Liz.lol
I know! Just because the sign says "Open", I mean there's many ways to interpret that. Gah
I know Lori! And guess what ? Oscar's showing me up. He's behaved like a saint since ata got here. She thinks I've been making it all up!
***Snicker*** that my friend, is Murphy's Law. He won't be able to keep the facade up much longer though....
Thats what I thought! My son is besotted with Hobbit <3
Thats what I thought! My son is besotted with Hobbit <3
oops sorry
Off to have a stint in the garden .. on hands and knees :). bye for now.
Leave cupcakes out and we will prove you right Liz
hey all
Hi bf not really here
bye Elder
who said that
hi Herin :)
Hi Liz
Saw you there liz i had to say hi
Am just uploading some pics onto my flickr but they'll take a while...big files and I forgot to resize them first
I said hi to Becky from you
morning, all -- watching Rafa at the French Open early rounds and he's pretty in pink today!
Ooooo lovely Une!!!
G'd morning bf, Une. I disappeared for a bit there...
there! Flickr updated with Ata and Hobbit pics :)
Awww, nice pics. You live on a beautiful piece of the planet Liz. :)
Wait until Hobbit AND Oscar go in to hyper mode.... :D
That'll be fun :))
Tell Ata I say Hi, and hope she's having a great time, which I'm sure she is.
anyone seen the new Susan Boyle video of the semi finals?
morning all... No esprit... is it any good?
not as good as her first performance, but she was still very well reeived
good for her.
it's on YouTube
received
she looked very nice too
Oh, good... I will search it later when my daughter gets up... she will be interested in seeing it.
She was on Oprah last week (?) and I just thought she seemed like such a lovely, small-town woman.
Not really her song, but lovely to listen to.
true Lori
I hope she picks a better one for the finals
win or lose, the whole thing has really changed her life.
boy is THAT an understatement!
She is fantastically humble
I was really pleased to see her stay true to herself and not be "made over" in to soemthing she's not. I like her, and I'm pullin' for her, and I HATE these shows... lol
Like I said I saw her on Oprah... and she just seemed genuinely kind.
Humble is the word for her.
the eyebrows, hair color and make up were very nice
Well, she got her eyebrows plucked and her hair done, but she called it"tidying up" or something like that. Very cute.
She was talking about all of the other competitors and how talented they were.
it's one thing to see the young punks hit it big on Idol, but to see this sweet middle aged woman rock the world is unprecedented
Listen, I could use a little tidying up myself lately... you know you hit a certain age and its all maintenance... like an old car!
Very true Esprit
talk to Joan Rivers about THAT mom
Well, Joan has taken the tidying up a little far, wouldn't you say??? LOL!
she goes in for "maintenance" I think once a year
lol, I could use A LOT of tidying up. Never gonna' have plastic surgery though, don't want a perma smile..... :p
yes, definitely, she looks scary
If I had the money I would have the bags under my eyes done... really. I have tried everything and cannot rid them of that "puffiness" that comes with being in ones 40's... LOL.
Joan Rivers personifies everything that's wrong in surgery/botox and the like....
let's see how many men come out of the wodwork and want to kiss Susan NOW
LOL!
Joan can do what she wants, I don't fault her for it. But she has become more of a cautionary tale, LOL!
and maybe she'll see that she hasn't had a man in 48 years and there's no reason to get one now
:-D
lol Esprit
Good one Esprit!
she will find they are more of a nuisance and her cat is better
More trouble than they are worth at that age! Talk about maintenance.
Oh, yeah!
GMTA mom
Before the inevitable "can someone spoon out the 9 please?" may I have the first 2 letters ONLY please? And Thank You
At least we're not all bitter, what? :p
Sorry, just came on. don't have the 9... what is GMTA????
Great Minds Think Alike
Oh, no bitterness here. Love my husband... most of the time, tee-hee!
OK. Esprit. Thanks.
Also, men come in handy when one wants to move something somewhere... they just need about three weeks advance notice, LOL!
no mom, that just gives them more time to find a place to hide
The 9 starts with st
Esprit, at risk of broaching a sore point, hast thou scored a new job-eth that suits thee?
no m'am
it's brutal out there
stented
oops
Ahh, that explains my missing s then.. :) Thanks muchly vah! ***looking***
Yah, sorry esprit, didn't wanna' go there, but I'm pullin' for ya'! Keep the faith and all that. :/
ty Lori
I just signed up for a pole-dancing course
heh excellent!
ooohhhh... sounds like fun!
the sad thing is that those gals make some green.
LOL Esprit, they are supposed to be very good exercise and lots of fun
also I've read there's big money in scopping poop for dog owners who don't want to do it
Oh and Hello all
hello fm
hi FM
Gah! That's a crazy word. Thanks again vah!
I think I would rather pole dance than pick up poop... but that's just me.
oh gee, that thought helped me find the tu4/6
FM! ***whap with a feather pillow*** 'bout time you showed up.
Was hoping it would be a waterbomb Lori, been out for a couple of hours and it is soooo warm today!
esprit... i just got that one too.. thanks!
Hows the grid today?
:-p
Finding a niche is key, I've found that doing jobs people DON'T want to do, pays decent, albeit intermittent sometimes.
Oooh I'll oblige. ***increases PSI on water hose, and aims at FM, ***
where the heck are the other 8 F's... only have 6 of 14 and feel like I'm done, LOL!
So far the grid doesn't suck, but I'm still on the first sweep. lol
I'm missing 2 f's that are very annoy-itating.
*enjoys the shower down* had forgotten what warm weather was like!
ooh... just fount 3 more. Guess I'm ok then.
I was out dealing this morning :)
good morning. Jean, are you planning on making pole dancing a profession>
why not?
Took the spawnlings and neighbor kid to the beach Saturday, and they swam. They've been swimming for weeks now. IMO This side of the Atlantic isn't that warm.
No reason why not, I was just wondering.
NO part of the Atlantic is warm
G'd morning red. esprit, if you got the goods, why not? Life is short.
ok I take that back, warmer down south
Had a couple of small antique bits and bobs I ahve been wanting to get rid of for ages so took them to a collectibles fair this morning and made $400 :)
but I'll take the Caribbean any day
Yes, we are nice and warm but full of Jelly fish.
never said I had the goods
Nice FM!
Morning red
anyone who has seen me play naked babble knows THAT
*** Yea, and Yea again for FM*** :)
:D @ Esprit
but who knows, maybe I will become the Susan Boyle of pole dancing
lol Esprit
surprise everyone
Oh but I imagine you do Jean.
*shakes head to try and clear THAT image* She got through to the finals last night.
yes we were talking earlier
I liek her, SUsan Boyle, that is, she is somewhat Cheeky, which I appreciate!
Esprit... that would be cool.
don't know how anyone could NOT like her
good morning everyone;)
Okay, 47 left first sweep not done, but gonna' go look for markdowns.
have fun.
Catch you kids later perhaps. Have a good one!
if u see a good sale on poles Lori . . .
Later Lori good to have seen you :)
I have to go out later and buy a hanging shoe organizer and a couple of under bed boxes... doesn't that sound like a blast?
LOL Esprit
I need to get some lunch so will pootle off for a while Happy Babbling.
crossy checks his deoderant...:/
bye fm...
crossy... did you survive the hockyers???
hi crossy
barely;/
(((crossy)))
fm:)))((()))
hi crossy.
howdy red:)
OMG... my cat is seriously deranged!
Every morning now he wakes me at 6, which is fine. But now he is whining outside of my teenager's room... that's not really going to be good for anyone if he wakes her up, LOL!
ALL cats are seriously derranged
He hates closed doors, but we had the window air on last night, so that's the way it goes.
It's hysterical. If you are in the loo you see his little paw appear under the door... if he had a thumb he would absolutely be able to get in!
I just want another one hour of peace... so must go spritz him with the water bottle... hate to do it, but once the troops emerge its adios babble for me, LOL.
i surrender and just leave the bathroom door open otherwise your trying to do your thing and the cat is scratching the door non stop,so the cat comes in sits in the tub and plays with water drips from the faucet
hello al...please may i have a clue for et5,16?
hi zoom, a kind of alcohol
good morning, babblers
crossy... its funny... i let him in and then 2 seconds later he wants out... he just thinks he's missing something. Swear to God... deranged.

Heyas kids ..
Hello torgone.
great clues, thanks!
You're welcome, harpjane.
Hiya, neighbors1
How's the grid today .. Is it the tu4/6 it appears to be?
Hello Judi.
hello all
It takes the use of the gerund to new depths, I reckon, torgone.
have the st7 and the fe7/44, help with other 7's pls
Hello, peri.
dy7 - plural of dy6/33 , process of changing colour.
fe7/52 - in stinky fashion
in7 - verb form of the purposeful in6/21
haha, like the fe7 clue, thanks
not getting the dy6/7
opposite of living, pl
got the dy6 not the dy7
lu7 - plural of the lu6/27 - process of entertaining with musical instrument
got the lu7, thanks Haz
ti7 - what many a teenager's room could do with
thanks Haz for tiy
ti7
got the in7 too, thanks Haz
tu7/36 - extend the tu4/6.
got the dy7 too, thanks Haz
You're welcome, hope it helps.
working on the tu7, is there only one tu4/6
it does and I found it, the tu7, thanks so much Haz
That's good.
stuck again, 41 left
clue for the 9 plz
bs
st 9 movie
st9 - is st6/27 plus gerund ending. S plus portion of income given to church but replace final vowel with sometime one.
st + most of a dry comment (P****) _+ gerund
i should go and get ready for tennis.. the queen of clueing is present and accounted for...
ty ruru and haz
Enjoy your tennis, ruru.
I should.. I am a bit sore from Friday's games though
I don't bounce back like I used to
i dont bounce at all i kind of squish:/
ROFL
Some people would mutter things like age and not being as young as you were, but I'm too polite.
At least you're still trying, ruru, that's got to be worth something.
I hear you loud and clear haz.. I keep at it. keeps my heart in good shape at least
this growing older stuff is for the birds...
i used to do sports to get in shape,now i have to get in shape to do sports:/
Hi all......Haz can u elaborate on your st9 clue please?
Hello Flask - let's see if I can change it slightly.
thankyou!
today was a good day,only pulled 3 muscles getting out of bed;) oops that reminds me! time for glucosamine tabs!:)
st6/27 - same structure as the place where you might get horses shod, just change the second letter. The st9 has the gerund ending.
Or, s plus chesty bird (three) misspelling of familiar greeting (two)
crossy bangs head on desk....
totally confused!!
lolol....sorry!
Neath the spreading chestnut tree the village sm**** stands ..
And I'm equally confused to know what else to use for a clue. It's a strange word.
Haz I got, thankyou!!!
0_o
Oh good!
Never heard of it!
di6/27
that was an excellent clue, Haz.....once I put my brain into gear!!
di 6/27 in the process of passing away
You and me both, Flask.
thank you
well ill save it till last;/
tu7?
got it!!! whee!
tu7 estends the tu4/6. Last letters are what you do in a restaurant.
well done cross!
Well done cross!
thanks
last de6?
nice clue would be the art of making horse shoes by a farrier but remove the m and the t is the second letter
ty haz:)
morning all :)
de plus canvas dwelling.
howdy jes
Hello jes.
thx haz
how's everyone?
upright and taking fluids;)
Hi jes......
is that an improvement, crossy?
amazing day here catually 15c and bright sun;)
if so, sorry you've been ill
can I ask for clue please for fe7/52
I took some fluids last night .. o_0
shiny out here, haven't looked at the thermometer yet
no im fine jes,small prcedure today ind im free to chase the pretty 25 year old girls down the beach:) if the wife dosent catch me first
fe7/52 - in stiny fashion
Skinky, that should be.
hah. don't catch them, cross, they're more trouble than they're worth.
try stinky
lol
skinky? so it's lizard-like?
lol they just stay far enough ahead to make it fun,then when i hit the sand nose forst they put another notch on thier lip stick case;)
lol......are there any other clues for it?
heheheh
in the manner of fe5
add 2 letters to the fe5/18
If you get a whiff of the stinky fe5/18 you're rendered incapable of typing properly.
fe5/18 is very smelly ..
evidently just thinking about it makes us unable to type....
fe6/33?
a smell word often ascociated with rotting bodies
Flask - American spelling of what we would call fo****.
who ever said i could type?:)
fe6/33 is in celebratory mood after the fe5 smell has gone away.
I have it thankyou!
now there's cause for celebration...
Well done, Flask.
f's are done thanks
what???........That I have found a word??
I don't think I meant anything. Sorry if I've annoyed you.
no, the next word is celebrating, flask
Noooooooooooo........
i was celebrating the fact that we weren't discussing the smell of dead people.....
okay. how do i get lickety's to stop showing up yesterday's words? the grid changed, but the words are still there :(
Sorry, I've lost the thread of the conversation, I think.
close the browser completely and open it up again jes
I said I had found it, and immediately after that Harp said now theres a cause for celebrtion....lol
if that doesn't wrok clear your cookies
or else open an alternate browser for the day, ie. if you usually use Firefox then go wtih IE for the day
its just the way it came out.....I thought it was amusing
i cleard my cookies..choc chip,there were 6 of them..crossy is bad
now that we are off the stinky word i am getting hungry.....bbl
hmm. i tried clearing the cache, but that didn't fix it... haven't tried closing the browser
bye, jane
Haz did you get that??
i'm back
Yes, I'm back up to speed with what's going on. I think!
Hello jmc.
hi haz
only harp was here when I left! hi all
Heya jmc
Hi jmc
hi, ja
ger. hi, jmc
lol
any clues please for the dy6 and dy7?
dy6 and dy7 - the process of changing colour (hair or material) and its plural.
the dy6 i have is plural of a gerund
think gerunds
Oh I see it, thanks Haz!
add another vowel to it jes
in the middle
You're welcome.
thanks
ti6/21 not the one with color
pt of fork part (go figure)
oops wrong one that is ti 5
ti6 - combine a metal with the start of a downy duck.
where do you go when you go figure?
ty haz
tineid
to bed usually ;-)
Good clue ..
sorry!!!!
You're welcome, jmc.
but thank you HAZ
Glad it worked, Holly.
d's done :)
go jes!
i could use some help with the second fe7 please
di6/27?
The second fe7 is fe7/52 - adverb for fe5/18, smelly/rotten smell.
ty haz
clue for in7/32 please?
di6 is alternate spelling of coloring fabric
di6/27 - the process of death? Or process of playing with cubes?
thanks
in7/32 - verb form of purposeful in6/21
thanks Haz!
You're welcome, Flask.

Ah the name of the bell that hangs at Lloyds? or a mis spelling of it?
The one.
So, you've not done the grid yet?
To all who served and their families, I tip my hat and wish for peace and healing.

Bye jmc.
27C here, crossy

Bye to all those leaving, I am going back to lurk mode as I need to start this grid.

Bye FM. I'm heading off as well, I've given up hope of getting clothes dried outside so tumble dryer it is.
Bye all - happy babbling!
Bye HAz, happy drying :))
Le sigh.
bye, haz
Toodle-pip.
Le hey ho :)
et5 pease?
Woman's name spelt like a chemical :)
either i'm thinking the wrong name, or the wrong chemical...
The points give it away
Mrs Merman spelt wrong?
a two-carbon type of alcohol, jes
Hi Aloy! You've been scarce lately. :)
Or was she Ms Merman? ***ponders that***
howdy Lori.. yes, too much to do so I lurk a lot (-:
thanks :)
if her husband's name was different, she's ms merman. mrs literally means "wife of mr"
are you having a holiday, too, Lori?
No Aloy, ours was last Monday (Victoria Day). Happy Memorial Day stateside though!
ah.. saw in the chat that today is a "bank day"? in GB
Yes, not entirely sure what it represents, but yes it is a Bank Holiday.
spinning wheels on ni5.12.. can't see it
got it.. needed to ask
lol, works every time, my psychic cluing is THAT good. :)
ni+ go ***y your room, child
tyvm Lori.. it worked again!
nice clue tho, jes..
***Lori's Psychic Cluing Service is now available in color!*** :D
.. at the speed of light through cyberspace!
excellent. can you psychickly clue me the first te5,12?
what ever happened to editing? On Tv in the last hour I've heard such moronic things as "world-wind" for whirlwind & "unrelentless" for unrelenting or relentless ! SHEESH ! Talk about the dumbing down of America! Sorry for raving this crap just pisses me off....
that's funny.. i just started on that one, Lori.. hold on
te + double vowel + 4th letter, Babblet
thanks, lori :)
just have the y5 left...
ah yes, te + double personal pronoun and cat and *dog
oops, bad typing.. first letter of *og, sorry
Oh pug, don't get me started. I've seen grocery receipts and the like with mind numbingly bad usage of English.....
think fiddler on the roof, jes
Think Jewish
TY! Needed that Y too!
I confess a dear friend of mine makes me cringe on a regular basis (though I forgive her as she grew up amongst hillbillys) with things like "my dog is spaded" or pronouncing the word plague like P + LEG !
I kept forgetting to gerund things, without dropping vowels. Gah
One woman I know, who shall remain nameless, but it kills me every time, says she's "going in for her yearly monogram"
Hello Car!!
LOL she must be covered in initials by now!
It's hard to keep a straight face when someone is saying that in all seriousness and honesty.
must be taken in one shot, Lori, lol
lori, I cringe when people refer to souvenirs as "momentums"
I keep saying "what letters this year?"
lol Tri, oops, and hiya' pug, Tri, car anyone I missed
thanks... firewords :)
god! I could make a list as long as the month of that kind of crap
the other one that gets me is when people refer to unbleached cotton sheeting as "muslim" = allah help us all!
ooh, that f was hiding from me.. got the th5.18
congrats, jes!!!!
yay jes!!!
draw for drawer, acrost for across, heighth for height,warsh for wash
Congratulations jes!
joining jes in the fireworks dept..
yahoo Jess!!
and off I go to plant my wilting flowers.. fun chatting with all.. see you next grid.. bye for now
yahoo Aloy!!
oh yes this one was truly hysterical, Knew one guy used to always say conjugate for congregate!
Congratulations Aloy! Enjoy 'yer gardening. :)
lol that's a good one pug.
and another that always said "gnawl " for gnaw.....
and the ubiquitous "orangutanG" AHHHHH!!!!!
don't forget the ath-a-letes
hi again
I've actually had people vehemently argue with me when I say there is NO G at the end!
have taken out the dictionary to prove it!
Stop that now pug, they're a specific branch of the orange crystals family... :p
I have a very high tolerance for such "creative" expressions from people who are learning or who learned English as their second language, but what's the excuse of the native speakers?
another real knee slapper is when men talk about getting their "prostrate" checked!
and what should we do with the scientists and politicians who can't pronounce nuclear?
indeed JBV
Hiya, again. Oooh! Can I play the misnomer game? I'm constantly telling people: "There is no X in espresso". LOL
the most roll on the floor funny thing I ever saw was when I was a corrections officer. An inmate put in a request to see the doctor because ----" I have an infecshun in my virginia, with a drip"
d
yes Judi that IS a common one!
maybe this is just me, but being Italian, I really don't like to hear people say "spaghettis"
we have a friend who is really the king of the malaprops - he is so funny we just love to listen to what he will say next, favorite was "shrub it off"
or soshiology...
it bugs me that I hear so many Italians refer to marinara sauce as gravy since gravy is by definition a sauce based on meat juices
and "clamboyant"
LOL never heard that one!
Well, clams do float.
rt
Don't forget the ever-poplular "axe" vs. "ask". HATE THAT!
read a great article about assinine things a professor had encountered in his students reports.There was one that said Magellan had circumcised the globe with a 40 foot clipper.....
judge judy makes them say things correctly!
I have that article, pug - saved it - it's a classic
i'll try to find the reference
wish I had saved it
Ouch! I think that would make him moylgellan.
whoa do you think a clipper that small would do the job?
hi all, i know someone who calls a sandwich a sammerge
was many years ago but sent copies to my family
I've heard "samich"
And "sangwidge".
she also warshes her clothes
UGH YES!
& puhtatuhs & tuhmatuhs
i have also heard budatos
Futile vs. feudal.
the list is SO endless sadly
my husband says someone who can't hear is death, drives me nuts
yes, pug, sadly
UGH MY EX DID THAT!
Yes, pugmama. Phractured phoenetics plague us on a daily basis.
he also calls a tiger a tagger
where the hell do folks come up with this stuff?
pug, found the author : http://hnn.us/articles/594.html - have to wait til tomorrow to find the article in my office
you'd think it would occur to them that NOBODY else says it that way....
ty JBV
you'd think so
Clue for Tu7, please?
if you'd like a philosophical take on what it means that college students don't know when the Civil War was, check out the article (link below)
imho, NO war has ever been civil... hello all.
hi stid... well it is hard to take notes and think at the same time
And so we segway into oxymorons! Hiya, Stid!
what you would do if you ate a tu4
You're in the grid, Stid.
I am going to play for bout fifteen minutes...
who you calling a moron? *grumble*
and your adverb, too!
*wicked mama look* LOVE the discussion on mispronunciation!
LOL so I am in the grid -- took me a moment to find it.
of course, I don't count.
See, you're not a moron, you're just a proper noun.
Good afternoon, folks!
HEY TAKUMA!!!!!
Hallelujah! The rain has finally stopped -- first day in weeks.
good for you Takuma -- we have had three sunny days in a row and working on #4...
Mmm...Tu7 clue please?
ah, nice -- I think we've had so much rain that the only May flowers these showers could have brought are pond lilies
no idea, Judi
Takuma -- did you hear I made it into that Master's program? All I need to do is survive the first five weeks of summer (taking a double load" of classes to jumpstart an extra endorsement)
I didn't -- Congrats, stid!
*beaming*
Eh, you'll survive it just fine -- it'll be a good way to ease your way back into studies ;)
when do your summer classes start?
oh dear, found a tu 7... start with poop and finish with "fancy eating" you need to leave out one D
a week after the spring classes end, Takuma!
lol - nice clue
ty stid but EWWWWWW
oh, nice - so at least you'll get a nice break there, heh
I am already taking it easier, though. I have one more paper to write, and a final in the geography class on the 10th and then a week to relax
Ty, Stid. Ew, indeed.
sorry pugmama!
need the E in the upper corner and the E on the lower row to get NBT. help?
You know, I've found babble to be a great way to warm up for writing papers -- it's a key part of my routine when I'm writing regularly
yes, I babble in between reading sections of things. Gives my brain a chance to rest and absorb material before moving on. And it's incentive to keep going. I read a section, babble for fifteen minutes... LOL
upper corner E is the needle case stid
GAH. thanks for the needlecase
*eating spiny fish*
I''m off to take a break. Later, humanoids.
later Judi!
need to walk pups...later taters
cio judi
later pugmama!
an bye pugmama
er and
hi all. dont get the tu 7 clue. poop? i know ka words, sh word, cr word, fe word, but cant think of a tu word at all!!!!!!!!!!!help!
okay, I really really want MBT. E on the bottom please?
I meant, I want Nbt. *sigh* figners are tired and it's not even eleven yet!
Hi VEEERRRY briefly! That E is the needle case for one thing, Stid...
MONKEY!!!!!!
Hey there!!!
I have been wanting to see you. I STILL need to read your book *sigh* That's my first chore in the week I have "off"
Awww, that's sweet!
Hope you like neurology-based science fiction...
maybe chore isn't the right word... but if I make it sound fun then it won't come before drywall, paint and such -- MUST get the spare room ready for our houseguest!
Now now, don't let my book come in the wy of drywall...
how is Walter? how are you? job yet?
the needle case comes from the top E, need the very bottom one.
Walter's great, I'm doing OK but have sore feet from walking to the beach town, and no job yet, the economy sucks. But I'm plugging away at it!
(((hugs))) glad walter's good, sorry about the feet, hang in there, a job is on the way!
Oh, ummm... yes, a rim or border.
OK, I meant it about briefly, but it was good to "see" you! Must off. Have fun!
we were just looking over some of the data, and it looks as if the stidkid's favorite teacher may be out of a job at the end of the year because of the budget problems.
a rim or border *thinking*
thanks monkey! be well!
heh, one E from the bottom is the plural of a near-synonym of the other
Oh dear! That sucks. I've been following how you are in Facebook posts... hang in there, be well, catch you soon! poof
*thinking more*
second letter on those Es?
brb phone
N, and D
Could someone please offer a clue for one of the 'I' words starting at the center tile? (Almost nbt!)
id4/7
got one!
and that's the one I got -- thanks phaeton
it was Mother -- checking to be sure we knew when to show up for BBQ.
the i words are anagrams of each other
yw
aha! thanks jbv
and that's nbt!
thanks for the anagram clue -- still trying to find the E words. *sigh*
go Takuma go!
oh! I got it!
but I don't have the EN plural one. How long is that?
4
the one i have is en4
you're going to kick yourself when you get it
oh! that is a different E. no wonder. thanks takuma!
en 4/5 and en 4/6 - sounds like a chinese surname
i still need a bottom E
hi all...been a crazy weekend..actually might get some time to complete a grid today!!
hey kaz!
oops - I didn't notice that it started from the other 'E'. Sorry. Give me a second to extract my foot from my mouth
have ed4
et 5 - alcohol
well... I am close to halfway, want to shower and then pack TWO boxes from my desk so we can move that to the storage locker before painting... *sigh* no rest.
ty jbv
when you're done stid, you can come move things out of my closet. :)
that wicked huh stid?
and then back to studying tonight. (((hugs all))) thanks for all your help!
ha ha, phaeton! and put them where exactly? LOL *poof*
bye stid...enjoy your BBQ!
ciao stid
good thing stid isn't a word, cuz it's in the grid!
On Wordsplay the plural of the duck species ne4 is accepted, and for some reason that always bothers me, because the ne4 is its own plural
As frustrating as limited dictionaries might be for Boggle, I find overly permissive ones to be even more so
huh
hi all.....clue please for in/621
Hi, Flask - to mean to
or have a plan for
in+t 4
I'm off to do a little wordsplay before getting to work. Good luck all, and thanks for the great clues!

Hello Bugsaw.
sure - the primal urge of fork parts
Hi Elder. I don't think we have spoken before.
in a freudian sense, that is
still working on it....
Bugsaw, No don't think we have. Welcome. I am up later than usual.
I am on the west coast of Canada so the time different is big. I just got home from working at school.
Bugsaw, wonderful icon. Babble is good for allowing the day to past over.
i find it enough of a challenge to keep me interested but not a timed puzzle that pressures me. I use Babble to relax.
learn lots of stuff from the chog too!
Bugsaw, I think many people do, also having the opportunity to chat with people from all over the earth.
what are the total possible points?
hi everyone
134 jonbanet
1966 points Jon.

I love what Einstein says, Babbler
GOT IT !!! Thank you Luv
“We must be prepared to make heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war. There is no task that is more important or closer to my heart.†Albert Einstein
hi, bugs, ren, and stid, and nut...
THANK YOU PAM! *nodding head*
hey ya pam
i say - where did nutter go
Hi everyone
hey dawg
hi, lbd!
Rennie! Pam!
hey LBD
Stiddy! you're in the grid!
and, yes i tried it and even tried to make it an adjective! lol
thank you, Pam. the fighting may end, but the war never does
hi BR
i always try the stid in the grid
hey ya rab
how's life treating you, Rennie?
busy busy dawg - howz by you
*ergh, make that an adverb, not adjective,*
staying outta trouble, as much as possible, ren
are you outta the boxes yet?
i never stay out of trouble - just busy trouble - and i am not outta the boxes yet
thanks LBD, someone had to point me out today, I was too preoccupied...
not preoccupied...focused! lol
I can only imagine, babbler. Walt Whitman talked about the Civil War in a similar way--don't suppose you need another quote
sure
there. down to 58 (missed the halfway point) and will grab the list when I come back. I have a short paper due Wednesday... and still have to start on the paper due next monday. None of my ideas seem very good... *sigh -- kicking at writer's block*
back in about 15... *mini poof*
preoccupied is an interesting word ... busy getting ready to be occupied
evening everyone.
hello, H. Hope the rain has stopped.
fireworks
no, poured again today, flooded new streets but we did see some sun.
congrats ypsi.
congrats, ypsigirl
rained here all day too
hi Red
whoooo hooooo YPSI
some hail too ... got me thinking, and thinking
Oh BR, does not sound like a pleasant day to be outdoors, but nice for a warm cup of something and ruminating.
even got my hammock wet!
Oh BR, if my house sells, I am thinking of investing in a Hammock.!
what fun .. all will be well with you
babbler--sorry, upon re-reading, Whitman said something else entirely. I must have been thinking of someone else.
I am hopeful.
Here's Whitman Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background, the countless minor scenes and interiors of the secession war; and it is best they should not. The real war will never get in the books.
It stormed here last night.... babbler, no offense here, but it seems you are always thinking--I am glad of that!
Congrats, ypsi
One of the best books I read about war was written by Farley Mowat. I can not recall the title, but it was so well written and excellent.
the war poets tell the true story... the history books tell the politics of the victors
I appreciated Farley telling of his desire to follow in his dads footsteps and then spending his entire time in Italy absoloutely terrified.
hello all, especially you Pam
My Father's son, red?
Hi, Sue
I do not recall, I picked up the book from a Library...
hello my wonderful sister, did you get my phone message?
Always seemed oxymoronic to me that war was won.
no, i didn't
Wesley set a school record for the written EOG's. It was a 2 1/5 hour test and the scores where 1-4. He did it in 45 min and got a 4. Blew the principal away.
What
an EoG?
And, congrats, I think 8^)
end of grade pam
she had pulled him out the day of the test and told him he didnt try and when I called to see why she had screamed at him, she told me the test could not be taken that fast.
Thanks, red. Never heard of them
she called him in again on Friday to say she was sorry and thank him for proving her wrong.
Glad she apologized. She oughtn't to have screamed, though....
Congratulate Wesley--great job!
and John's school band (he plays clarinet..go figure) took first place at Carowinds for the first time in 12 yrs.
That's great! Congratulate, John!
yea, she felt horrible, she just couldnt believe it. I told her my sister could have done it backwards in 55 min.
John says thank you.
Was she screaming, screaming or just annoyed? Just curious, I mean, she should have looked first. I hated standardized tests, they bored me and I always doodled. (Not hte math, though, LOL) Then, I just did the damned exam in grade school
LOL--your principal has never met me....
I have to take a speed reading class for all my homework this summer.
Just plow through it, you'll do fine....
no, but she has heard me brag a lot about you
Why, thanks... Alex is pretty damned brilliant--he always aced tests even when he didn't attend the classes....
I am proud of John and Wesley. And glad they are doing so well.
Wes said she was screaming, but I think his is a bit of a Sarah Bernhardt, though I dont know where he gets that from.
I know he did...argggggg
LOLOLOL
I have to dive into this grid--and give chog back to all, LOL
the frogs are screaming tonight!
it must be date night

We'll throw a party when you get one Sue ..
I think it is time to crawl into bed with cute man and watch UFO hunters ( I dont like the show, but love the guy)
I suppose it's a break from the boring humdrum of life in a near-tropical paradise?
with drinks Torgone?
go stid, go tor!
I adore hotels though, the sheets are always fresh (depending on which hotel it is)
true enough, red *surveys shambles of home* they get mucked out regularly, at least!
down to 4 and struggling.
go stid, go stid
I love hotels
love the sheets and the bathtubs
It's a job .. Just because it has completely gone ti4/4-up and I'll be here longer than expected .. What the heck?
and not cleaning either!
I have 78 left and will not finish, thought I had all day until the telephone rang to remind me of my work schedule.
I think I will go read another essay and then come back with fresh(er) eyes... It is disconcerting to be SO smart some days and so very NOT others.
back in about ten.
I have a gazillion, red, LOL
bummer, tor
Later stid ..
tomorrow is my first full day of summer school, so I am out of here. Love you all, especially that wonderful red head Pam!

so LBD, how long did you end up working today? Was it slow?
did you get outside any? I was outside only briefly, at Mother's house. When I got home, I took an hour-long nap and then dove back into schoolwork.
I really need a break.
*Sends stid a break*
thanks tor, you're all heart
worked til 1. it was busy. but made the time go fast.
I worked 2 hours today ..
that's good. and then you had some time to enjoy the good weather, too!
outside...nope, bought some burgers for late lunch, and then had to do some housework, babble and now it's time to go to bed to do it all again tomorrow.
hey all
stidl, you deserve a break today
hi Dorens. Poor Tor.
blah. housework can wait when the day is nice!
hey dorens!
oh tor, such a difficult life...
*sympathy meter is in negative territory*
had ken's family over today for a thai and indian feast... nice tingly tastes in my mouth. bu 56 left and don't want to have to work too hard. to the list!!
had thunder a couple times today, so not being outside wasn't a big loss
I would rather have been able to work longer today - get this job done quicker ..
mmmm. *wonders if ken's family would notice a new member*
good luck Dorens. I really am off to my pillows. see you all tomorrow. hope things go bettre for you tomorrow, Tor
I understand that, tor. can you do more tomorrow?
I assume you can only work when someone from "there" is available.
sweet dreams LBD!
nite lbd.. sweet dreams. just refreshed and found i only hve 60 much better. stid, join the family, welcome
I have to get some parts and materials sent ..
oh, that stinks. how long will that take?
*grins and sits down for left-overs*
shrimp malai curry, cauliflower with tomaoes and spices, thai beef salad, larb, jasmine rice, coriander chutney, papadams, mango and cocoanut sorbets
Hopefully I can get some stuff locally in a day or so, and get stuff from my company next day ..
That sounds really good Dorens ..
what kind of work torg?
*eats all the papadums first and looks for the cauliflowers and larb to spoon over rice
robots, I think, dorens...
*beep, clank, whirr, ratchet*
oh, our mouths were exploding happily, with all the combinations... and i have meals for the next three days here
what about baling wire and chewing gum and duct tape, tor? I have some extra paperclips around here somewhere...
in 7,32 please?
Recycling machinery - mostly conveyors but some higher tech stuff too ..
we had a lovely BBQ at Mother's -- and she baked a chiffon cake that uses potato flour instead of wheat so I could eat as much as I like!
i don't know nuthin' bout birthin' no robots!
plural the in 6 that precedes, west
means to, cwest
Got the baling wire and duct tape covered ..
thanks!
((tor)) I imagine that sort of machinery breaks down a lot, it gets so much hard use.
Sorry, I wandered off
hey pam
Hey there y'all.
hi gpeach
Yep. This place gets heavier than normal use, and we're still doing warranty work after 1.5 years ..
good luck with teh machinery, tor

Hi Dorens...have you conquered this grid yet?
Hi there stidmama.
nope... 27 left, peach
Thanks! Think I'll head for the pillows ..A million phone calls to make tomorrow a.m. ..
I should go work on this mini-paper... and then I was thinking of doing a survey of restaurants for my final paper in geography -- mapping where they are by type (asian, italian, pseudo hometown) and then trying to find an old phone book and checking what has changed in the interval...
sweet dreams tor. see you again soon.
niters tor
I have 22, Dorens, it's been kind of rough.
Goodnight all ..
Good night, Torgone.
ciao, tor

sounds fascinating stid
sounds like an interesting paper
Dorens, I have to let dogs go out...brb
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

Thanks!!!
Hi shdybr8! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
Hi Min. Well, I've been cooking, gardening, and being a new Mum for most of the day, so haven't been around.
I generally solve Babbble in the morning with the aid of 2 big cups of tea. I sometimes save words until the evening to solve. But not today.
This last word is exxhausting my monkeys! However, it should be easy so do not want to ask for a clue yet
hi min, doing well, thanks, how are you?
et5 min?
first ti6/21 please
The only reason I can see for all the bananas in my fruit bowl disappearing is that my monkeys sometimes have to wrok overtime.
