*hugs Ex**** extra*
another optimistic burb from me, jilli ;)
so close to answer
halfway. How are you doing, fellow babblers?
hang on...I'll need to get up a sprint to catch up to you...have you had breakfast yet?
33 left and heading for bed -- zzzzzzzzz
no, not yet, on my way to make me some, back in a few mintes :) sleep well jilli.
happy days, sprite and lynxx and anyone else here
nite Jilli, sleep well
back with bread and coffee.
good timing, just past halfway
wtg lyn! So far it seems a sweet grid.
not so sure about that
I still need 4 of the biggies though... might be bad in the end
I always try 9 with an R at the end. So odd that it does not work.
I do that too
glad I am not the only one :)
I need another coffee, back soon
back with nescafe wiener melange. Yummmmmmy.
coffee, sausage, but what is melange?
it is a kind of coffee with a touch of chocolate/cocoa in it.
oh, I thought wiener meant sausage, silly me
melange means mixture, I believe
no, wiener means 'from Vienna'.
and that is not silly at all
in the US perhaps a vienna sausage
exactly, grin. Hi BabbleRabble, good to see you.
hello sprite and lyn
hi BabRab
lyn, in Dutch, Vienna is written Wenen, so for us it seems logical. But 'wiener' and Vienna don't look that related at first view.
Just looked up the Def (here) a wiener is a frankfurter from a Wiener Wurst Vienna sausage. I guess 'mixed' is right anyway being a sausage - all kinds of things in it
melange as a word for mixture is especially used for mixtures of coffee or tea, in dutch. Language is such a fun subject!
I think it translates as blend?
I have heard the word before but can't remember in what context
lol - it was the 'spice' on Dune!
Definitions of vienna sausage on the Web: * short slender frankfurter usually with ends cut off wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn * A Vienna sausage is a wiener. The word wiener means Viennese in German. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_s ausage * A small frankfurter, often served as an hors d'oeuvre. www.cookeryonline.com/Resou rce/GlossaryS-Z.html
hahahaha.... well that settles it. I guess it is used for mixtures that are related to smell and taste.
thanks BabbleRabble!
we call the 'hors d'oeuvre' ones 'little boys' in Australia (wonder why?!). No kids party was complete without them - plus fairy bread of course
*giggles* I can see why. And we use them likewise, on children's parties. What is fairy bread?
A collection containing a variety of miscellaneous things; A Viennese coffee speciality, half steamed milk and half coffee; A fictional drug in ... en.wiktionary.org/wiki/melange
ah, nice! Dune made it into the wictionary, lyn!
argh... sin bin for me
Fairy bread is buttered white bread with hundreds and thousands sprinkled on them. 100's and 1000s are tiny multicoloured round sugar sprinkles
oh cool! We don't do that here, will remember to tell some mums of small kids. Must be perfect.
http://tinyurl.com/nvyy4o for definitions of melange ad nauseam
*checking out link*
oh indeed, used for yarns as well.
I may have heard it in connection with the yarns actually. TY BR
yes, that rings a bell here as well. Cool, BabbleRabble. The connotation with smell/taste might be dutch, I am looking. Could also be me being totally off mark of course.
yes that is dutch. Here it says it is used for potpourri and tabacco mixtures as well.
the right word is supposed to enhance communication not obnubilate
and also for candies. But there is a special meaning for diamond mixtures.
lol
obnubiwhat? would be the obvious answer to that, BabbleRabble!
"The lover whose soul shaken is In some decuman billow of bliss." Francis Thompson; The Way of a Maid
I looked it up :)
# obscure: make less visible or unclear; "The stars are obscured by the clouds"; "the big elm tree obscures our view of the valley" # confuse: make unclear, indistinct, or blurred; "Her remarks confused the debate"; "Their words obnubilate their intentions" wordnet.princeton.edu/per l/webwn
decuman is vast, huge. In this sentence, anyway. Have we ever had this word in babble grids?
I believe so
my brain has just shut down...taking a break. BBL
be well, lyn
I like it, that word. Bye for now, lyn!
I think I could handle a large billow of bliss
I wish it poured over you right now.
Is the little lion still enjoying his life's journey?
every step, as far as I can tell, BabbleRabble. He is so eager to learn new things, very curious mindset, likes a bit of a challenge. He wears himself out completely and then sleeps like a log.
Yeah, for Terra!
:D
my son took him walking a bit too far, yesterday. Terra simply dropped flatout on his stomach, hind legs stretched out behind him, front legs under him, head flat on the floor. Tim had to carry him home for the last meters.
He gave it his all.
he did, and then refused to be pushed any further. I love that.
Hi sprite, everyone. My son used to do that when small, sprite :-)
hi Sally, wonderful :)
Successful though :-)
very, and it should be. It took ME 40-odd years to learn to respect my own limits. Still am learning.
ok that wasn't supposed to be a stopper...
I am thinking
Sorry,, wresting with grid. Not finding this one good.
was for a moment afraid I'd ruined the atmosphere. I actually like this grid, but it has some tough-to-find words.
hi again
hi josh
hi josh
I managed to recall the yt word from memory, I was so proud, grinnnn.
had to monkey that one :-(
first time ever I could pull it from memory, Sally!
ty for yt6
yvw
also, Sally: I missed a whole lot of ai and ae words. Never thought of looking for them until almost at the end.
NBT
the wi 6 describes an acceptance I could not countenance .
hey that is my missing 6 then, thanks!
I keep forgetting that there are two Ys - and thinking words won't work
ty babblerabble
ty br
I do find you very wi 5/22, BR!
ok halfway is good enough for now. sleep calls. good luck and goodnight everyone
*seconds that*
there must be some fun in life too
fireworks. I agree, BabbleRabble, and you are very good in providing some. Thanks again!
be well, josh
night josh, sleep well
Congrats, sprite
I am off too, thanks for the help and the company. Bye all, enjoy your time.
Good for you sprite.
have a GREAT day, sprite

did anyone watch the National Spelling Bee last night
***dives back in***
morning news showed the end
I watched parts of it, peri
the e and y are the ones I don't have either peri
simnel and cretonne were two of the words I could actually spell. Simnel I learned here on babble.
ya reckon I could get some advice on work here??
only saw what was on the news peri
lots of the words were Frenchy
yay for babble
*French*
I think the y is a yt but not sure
reckon you could mrp
it is peri
last I saw you you were pricing frankfurters
hi MrP what advice do you need hun
I am monkeing like crazy but not seeing the yt
el7 el & cons & elec****ic device
I work for a school committee... volunteers who don't know too much about my paid position
yt6.24
yt+ first part of a three sided figure
yt & commit a crime and stand ****l
my sub-committee is unsupportive of me and the canteen at school (for which I am paid to provide for the children)
thanks, Nono and lyn, I was on the right track
I have asked for assistance 2 weeks ago, and it has all come crashing down
thanks lyn for the el7
NBT
you're paid to do the job why won't they just let you?
what are they unsupportive of you, mrp
I got the support, financially, and was given a point of contact, all seemed to be moving forward....
HI o boy its a sour pres
thanks nono lynxx - and good morning babble friends! NBT
then my sub-committee tried to sideblind me and are saying they don't like me
mrp this does not sound good
not liking this grid
too right andree... I have cried for days now
hi Trif
Don't like you! unbelievable!
Mr PRes you are the best
because you're a take charge and get things done person?
that's crazy Mr. P, you are so loveable
I have been volunteering for years to the school, only just got the position this year, and still volunteer at least 4-6 hour a week.
how could anyone not like you?
hi herin and Trifo
yes west, I am, and I am being treated like a 12 year old.
tell them to take a running leap
I am covered in kittens right now - literally infested
hi trif and welcome back herin
I have asked them to back off and let me do my job.
Peri you changed your Icon, what a beautiful tortie!
andree... how do I do that, but keep my reputation in tact??
MRP call a meeting with the principal and the Head of the Parents committee and throw up your hands and ask what they want you to do. ASAP - you should NOT be distressed about this
thanks so much NoNo. they is my baby, Zoe-Anne
Mr. P, I will come over there and start flinging poo at them if they don't back off
*that is*
peri she's beautiful
ok..i KNOW I am tired...but a lemon cat instead of a lime one?
i know you can't but must be tempted to tell them to stick their job
thanks west
I am the Treasurer on the PTCO at my sons school
lynxx, i called a meeting with the principle, and told him the issues. He is an idiot and wants to be 'liked'
does zoe-anne have an attitude?
the parents hate me, theyll get over it
is is hard to deal with idiots
he won't do anything about it
sometimes, nono
I did what was right
and I can live with myself
sue, what did you do??
it was horrible
I wouldnt give christmas bonuses to just the teachers
what happened sue!!
My tortie did, it was her way or no way :)
they are NOT the school
well good for you
so I took a vote and wrote every person in the school who works there $50
oops..serious coversation... Tiptoeing to corner...
gm all
Sue you gave bonuses to teachers and helpers?
the parents are still having a hissy fit
yes herin
you know what sue, you just said the right thing... I can live with myself, cause I haven't done anything wrong
and the cafeteria works and maintanence
To thy own self be true
Ok so if they are going to be so un happy about it give them a lump of coal
too right
mrp do you have the authority to close down the canteen for a few days? that would get their attention
Mr PRes dont be upset with yourself they will lose out on a wonderful person if they boot you
everyone makes up that school, and I will be damed if I tell the ladies in the office they arent as important as the teachers
MRP Ultimately it IS his problem. If you resign he is going to have to replace you. Tell him that you cannot continue in the current situation - much as you would like too
good for you, sue
gosh i hope next week is a better one, i bet you are glad its the weekend
but I kept all the promises also
we bought a new smart board (they are now fighting over where to put the lousy thing), paid for the field trips & raised moral
that is what I said I would do.
MrPres, the best advise I can give you, is tell them if they dont like it, Join and help or shut up
I have sue, and they can't handle it
I didnt take the job to make everyone happy, I took it because it needed a person who wasnt an ass kissser
andree, i am glad to not have to talk to those idiots!!!
so, in Dolly's words, tell them to "take this job and shove it"
but you love the kids don't you mrp?
help with the 1st 2 in words please
Sue. Smart BOard needs a room rotation routine if they don't like it stiff
I didn't take the job to make 'everyone' happy, I took it cause I am good at what I do and get results. The volunteers are happy, the kids are happy and the people who use the canteen are happy with what we (Kay AND I) have developed. They are all pissy about the financials, so is everyone else on the planet!!
MrP, seriously, the parents really hate me. Even off in the neighborhood they are still gripping. But when the cafeteria people, the office workers & the maint. people came up to me and told me that he/she was the only working person in the family and the $50 made Christmas for them, I knew that is why God made me take the horrid job.
we have smart boards in every room now
you are an angel sue... tell them all to FO and get a life
I do everything, and I mean EVERYTHING for my kids and the kids of that school
Herin, from you mouth to thier ears. I love smartboards, but I dont think it is a replacement for good teaching
we have smart boards in all the rooms too - and up to 29 kids in a class! I get so frustrated when our school dept decides to invest in technology and not people....
what is a smart board?
that is all you can do MrP.
hang on you are telling me that those ungrateful SOB's are complaining about $50
Peri, it is an electronic whiteboard and a computer monitor, and a tv
opk
*ok* even
very much Herin
mostly they seem to exist so that teachers can check their personal emails in full view of their classes!
I do not give a flying flip about personality issues, griping parents or gossiping, mean-spirited people who have nothing better in their life but to criticize others.
I live in Concord NC, all the mills have closed, Philip Morris has moved and the Motor Sports industry has wittled to nothing.
oh you are shitting me (pardon my french) $50 seriously what aholes. Sorry but $50 that is a nice meal for a family that is struggling that is a toy a kid may not have got. Wow that has me very saddened by the unkindness of others
everyone is out of work, and that $50, I will stand up for 100%
I have tears in my eyes at the thought that people could be so nasty about $50
sue, they obviously are money mungers
a guy ever got in my face and said, "that is like giving a garbage man a tip for doing his job!", well I do that also I told him. Everyone, Everyone makes the WHOLE and when you dont remember that, you cause a weakness like cancer.
I believe that the whole issue I have at school is just because of financial woes, but I am a soft target.
who complained, sue, the teachers or the parents
that is right MrP, and I am a lot stronger then they thought.
Parents Trif
A lot of loud mouthed, cold hearted parents, who by the way, received Christmas bonuses at their jobs.
what did the want you to do with the money? and how many staff members are we talking here?
Wow if the guy didn't clean the bins you would have rats. See next time they bitch and whine you ask them do they donate to help others?
70, and they wanted another 1/2 of a smartboard. All the money I gave, I personally raised.
Mr PRes don't you take their sht either
do the parent's have voting rights?? was this a voted issue sue?
MrPres, stand for what right. You wont be able to live with sitting down. Your are not that kind of person. I would rather stand for what is right, then fall for anything.
Ok you would be shocked at how much my old high school has
we voted on the PTCO, there is only 3 of us and we asked the Principle.
I told my friend today, I have the strength of character to see this through, and come out of it at the other end without suffering .... however......
it hurts anyway, doesnt it
trhis is my old high school http://tinyurl.com/nmhkt5
I do not have the fortitude, or resilience, if you like, to take the stress... it affects my health
it hurts so so much
well, if it was voted on, they can FO
yes it does, and I left because of it
Mr PRES stop and think and dont take their crap
I could not believe people where so horrible. Now I send gift bags to everyone 2-3 times a year. They have chocolate or something little, but I just want them to know, they are appreciated
ouch! this grid has big teeth:( morning everyone:)
yes it does. I hate words starting with vowels
they kill me
SUe and MR PRes you are both kind people dont'accept their crap
sue, you are a very heartful person... I have discovered that when it comes to money, they will rip you a new a$$hole just to hold onto it... and what for??
hi cross
everyone seems to be paranoid about spending at the moment
we have over $20,000 sitting in our dance committee... for goodness sake! It is sitting there doing nothing! The parents should know and vote on how the money can be best spent on the education of the children
hi crossy
dopnt get me going on school boards waddling up to the money trough;( we have 3 commuities here and they are tossing naround the idea of closing thier 3 high schools and making a single ,central super school;((
andree... must catch up with you darlingheart! If you are around tomorrow lunch time, will come visit??
no cross! don't let them!!
all those special and unique classes will never be allowed to make the move;((((
everything will be standardized..may as well build a kid prison
paranoia has become the founding problem of our parent committee
you know that one school ,because of a great teacher,actually has a robotics course??? that wont be allowed to be in the super school you can bet on that
what is a superschool anyway?? another word for over extended classes and fewer teachers and facilities?
anyways good morning mrp my darlin of the pretty eyes;))
i just feel of my chair at the amount of stuff my highschool has and i bet you its still a viper den of homophobia
actually homophobia is a dying art here since they have all the marriage rights etc..amazing how fast it became a non-issue
sue, when you bailed out, how did you do it??
oh good morning crossy! You are my blessing because of your warm and loving heart!! You are a sweetie!
I am wanting to quit, but do it with my reputation and past involvement in tact
I told the Principle, she can use me to through to the dogs to keep them from the school, and to tell them that because of thier concerns I would be excused.
I told some of them that they where using me as a distraction from the kids, and that would not due
nearly missed your post mrp, yes call me i will be home most of the day
Yesterday, I cried cause someone was so nice to me... actually, I had made a mistake and rang to apologise, and he said 'don't worry about it! no problem... and I will sort out all your other suppliers and make sure you have everything you need... let me handle it and you just take it easy love'.... I was so blown away, I sobbed and thanked him for being nice to me.
back later
by andree
Oh MR pres
ok andree... maddie has netball, I am hoping to see you around 2pm, but have to see what is happening with soccer (hoping it is off with this rain). Otherwise, I will catch you during the week?
is netball, like volleyball or tennis?
see ya andree!
sue, how did you resign?? and did you keep the respect you deserved in tact??
netball is like basketball, but you can't bounce the ball, or take more than 1 and half steps without passing the ball
the court is divided into 3 sections, and only two people from each team are allowed in the goal circle
MrPres, that could take the respect and shove it, I have the dignity from God and the appreciation from the people at school who have NEVER gotten a bonus before.
sue, you are good. You are a good person
mrp, I dont know how to say this nicely (my Yankee up bringing), you know in your heart you are right, that has to be good enough.
sue, I am inspired that you moved on and don't give a flying toss about who likes/dislikes you
yes sue, I agree... I just want to say it in a way that sticks it to them, and assures them that they can't do it to anyone else.
tthen stay
do the job as it should be done and dont care about them.
but I did care that they were able to stay on that one subject
they didnt think that not one of them helped at all with any of the events or even to help at the school
The people on the committee go like this: President - no balls Vice President - overbearing and everything is a meeting, meeting, meeting Treasurer - fantastic! but soap opera inflicted Secretary - self absorbed and very happy to tell everyone how wonderful she is cause of all her charity/committee/fundraising etc... praise me, praise me, praise me some more!
tell them what Jesus did
Those without sin, throw the first stone
G'd morning again! Down to 13 after the first sweep. Grid remains quirky....
sue, I think staying there is a good way to stick it to them. They will find a way to get shod of me, but it won't be pretty
Lori you have 13 left on first swweep i am impresed
hi Lori :)
get in there and fight mrp;)) bet your really pretty with sparks coming out of yer eyes;))
Is there more than 1 az? I really want another one.
mrp, I went down dirty and clean. I pissed them off with my honesty and integrity. I can look to God and say I did what was right for Him. That is all the respect I need.
I found the az4
2 az's and hi everyone!
I have a 4 & a 5 Lori
LOL crossy! I have been told I am beautiful when I am angry, but scary as a cut snake!
what is the 5?
hi Babble friends! How is the grid today?
hi AnnieB
hi lynxxxxxie
Oooh, a 4. Mercy buckets Annie, Lynx!
hi lynxx and anyone i missed
G'd morning Annie of Brooklyn, beach
Good morning to you too, Lori of NS
Se - you ca read it in a mag****
Howdy to you all.
Got it, major fish moment. Thanks again.
hi Beach
hi Gramma
G'd morning gramma
senazine
oops
mrp, you need to do what you can live with, not just in your soul, but in your body too. I was getting me ill and I started to really dislike some folks. That made me a bad person, so it had to stop.
thanks, lynxxxxie
hi annie, gramma, beach et al :)
hi mrp...hope it all works well in the end...
gramma, that word didnt work for me
senazine
sue, you are wise and I am taking this all in... thank you for your honesty! It is bloody refreshing to hear it, and it is very similar to what I am going through, so it is helping me enormously, so thank you!
cuz it's not a word. Loser the sen lol
me either. I was trying to follow lynx clue
lol, I try every word or non word...called clutching at straws
good reason
annie, it always does hun! Just hurts on the way to the end
you are welcome
pray for you
but I tell you this from the heart, what you put out there, comes back
erie
sorry
There's Annie clutching at straws again.
Annie! Cut that out. I already had that.
*blushing furiously*
I didnt get my foodstamps this month because I messed up the paper work, so it will be until 6/11 before any help arrives from the Gov. I am a big shopper, so i have enough to carry us through, but my neighbor just came over with what he says is "overstock he wont ever use". It will help a lot, and it is because, what you give, is what you get.
I wish someone would put the el7 in the chat accidently
do it again Annie
morning Haz, lots of your favorite word here today
:) @ Annie. G'd morning Haz
You are so right sue! I put out my soul, but they sent it back in tatters... that is what hurts
waiting for it........
Tut,tut, Annie. That's called incitement or entrapment or something.
Annie, add sometimes vowel + robotic sounding 4 letters
I know, but it is what makes us stronger.
Hazel, How is dear Spangle?
Thanks, Lori
Afternoon all from a very summery England!
Standing for what is right, but not popular...hurts. I have to read this book "Roads Less Traveled" for school. The first line is: Life is difficult.
so as long as you know that, and accept it, really understand it, then life gets easier.
She is very well, Annie. On cat patrol as we speak.
FM! Good morning from a very soggy Brooklyn, NY
hi FM
Hello FM - we have sunshine as well!
Hey Haz and Lori :) and Annie et al!
Annie, it is soggy here too in Concord NC
hi FM
G' morning FM! ***whap***
Hey Annie, you know I am from Bklyn and so is Pam
el 7-- cotton gin: *** whitney and an elementar;y particle: elec****
You know Lori loves you when she whaps you. Tough love, it's called.
We are in the 70's here and predicted for the next 5 days, yay!!
standing for what is right is best in the end as you can sleep at night never be a follower trudging the same path as everyone else,make your own path:))
fm!!:::(((())))
*pillow fight with dear L*
(((crossy))) luv ya :)
Haz knows, sometimes, support means telling you what is, not what you want to hear...
well, with everything you have all said... I have an amazing report to give... and, if I upset anyone... I have now learned that hurt is universal.
FMitch do you have to wait 30 min then the sun goes away?
bless you crossy.
***whaps FM with a double barrel pillow, they're the worst kind*** :p
i kind of drifted of
For once herin - No!
Hello, all!
Road Less Travelled is amazing
sun....s...u...n please describe this thing called sunshine:/
Soak up that love, FM. I foresee water bombs soon.
Hello Jellen.
hi Jellen!
**unleashes the water cannon on Lori** ain't friendship fun :)
Jellen!!! (((hugs)))... long time no see!
sue, yes I remember that
Have you loaded the permanent dye into the water cannon, FM? That shows HUGE love.
I actually might pick up People of the Lie tonight, and give that a burl.
hi jellen
poor crossy! can I send you a picture of this so called S-U-N?
LOL good idea Haz, you devil you!
me too, it has been 9 days since sun
but, on the wonderful side, my tomatoe plants are huge.
Belated G'd morning Jellen, I had to towel off thanks to a certain someone...
Yes, you know you're loved when you're green and dripping.
its ok mrp i can just come in here for sunshine:))
pfffft!
wow England gets sun I thought that was a myth
More like blue, thanks to the coldness of that water.
Hey, we are going to try and trade in my Jeep Grand Cherokee for a Ford F150 to pull a bigger camper with. I have to make my $2000 car look like $4000. So I am off to eat a bananna w/peanut butter and clean.
Blue and green, such complimentary shades.
*hugs crossy*
mrp, do what is right. and I will bbl to finish this horrid grid.
lol herin, we do occasionally get summers and this year might be one of them.
:( i cant afford to feed a ford f-150,not at $1.10 a litre;(
I cant type with peanut butter on my fingers
thanks darling sue!
Good luck, sue...we're looking at a camper, too...
where are you Jellen
Hi Jellen how are you and T?
Oklahoma
Look on craigslist
we got a 2002 Jayco Hybrid for $2900 and doing some repairs ourselves
Just at the speculative stage...but I will check it out!
Tim and I are doing well...having some trouble with the pharmacy regarding his interferon, which is a bother...
ok, protein in, going to do the deed.
Hi Jellen
How is the grid? Just logged on and saw some of my favorite people on chat and haven't even looked!
(herin)
The grid is good except for these last 12 :)
a tad on the evil side it be
OKish
on the bright side,since there seem to be a lot of babblets,you dont really need the list,just keep pecking away;))
I'm debating what to use for my icon today. I'd feel a bit sheepish about using ew4/8, I can't get much momentum for in7/36 and fear George might be offended if I use Carter to illustrate wy4/10. It's a bit of a lo7/36.
Starting to peck now :-) (Can't really resist anyway)
Nicely crafted Haz. ***off for the in 7/36***
Thanks for the boost, Haz!
You're welcome!
lol, didn't extend it. Brilliant, brilliant I say!
i have the in 5/10 but just cant seem to expand on it:/
Adverbial extension, crosshair
lol hi all
Hi, TO
hi TOwl
(((owl))) !
TO! G'd morning, fresh dainties, just in case? :p
owlie

Hi Owl

OKay, going with wy4 for TO, back shortly.

pretty uninspiring grid
It is what you make it Waeg
LOL.
Muh Lord. What kind of word is that wi 6. (rhetorical) w mercifully done. ***hurls bananas at monkeys***
Sigh! Time for me to fly already...going to an auction this morning...
lori is that a clue?
bye jellen
No TO. Sounds like carving wood with a knife, spelt funny. That's a clue!
if you can have an al 5 why cant i have a le 4
Later Jellen, have fun.
ty
Bye, lynxxx and LoriP and all!
Herein Ii've always wondered how yu can have hedonism without hedon

Mornin' BR. Laters TO, if 'yer there... :)
Hi BR
hedon is Greek for pleasure
is there a YT word?
yt 6/24
thanks
but not found in dictionary BR
thanks
I found it
type it into the word box here and see wht you get
Definitions of hedon on the Web: * Pleasure is commonly conceptualized as a positive experience, happiness, entertainment, enjoyment, ecstasy, and euphoria, but is hard to define as it may be different depending upon the individual in question. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedon_(unit) * Hedon is a town and civil parish in Holderness in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately east of Kingston upon Hull city centre. It lies to the north of the A1033 road at the crossroads of the B1240 and B1362 roads. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedon * Hedon, sometimes spelt Heydon, was a parliamentary borough in the East Riding of Yorkshire, represented by two Members of Parliament in the House ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedon_(UK_Parlia ment_constituency)

If that means you have finished the grid then Congratulations to You, Haz
You're welcome, Lori - yes, Annie, I'm done.
Oh now I see Lori's question...as Gilda Radner would say "Never minnnnnd"
I miss Gilda
That was such a funny skit
I <3 Gilda Radner Annie. :)
Emily Litella

Good morning, babblers. Fun grid today?
Testing the intellectual powers of those involved, stepping it up to two words :o
morning Taku
And it's a crap grid Takuma
Well, it's about time for me to go and start thinking about maybe starting something.
Hello Takuma, it's pretty well stocked with babblets.
hello all
dont think too hard Lori it will get you into trouble
G'd morning Tak, this grid is right up your alley, quirky but doable.
hi again Peri
laodicean was the winning word in the National Spelling Bee
Starting something? Any more details?
lol, thanks Lori
What about a pronouncing bee peri, because I couldn't pronounce that with a gun to my head and a million dollars
I don't like to say too much Haz, National Secirity and all 'dat.
missing a 7. I have el, inx2, lo.
Lay oh da see an
with that, have a great day kids! Later gators.
I'm not much of a huge random word fan
ciao Lori! Have a good one
te7 - combine a seabird with a charged particle
same ones i have peri
most of the words in the bee I had never heard of let alone spell correctly.
Bye Lori!
Especially when it's a word I will only use once in my life and that's wondering what the #%$@ it means.
thanks Haz
ty Haz!
bye bye Lori
lots of french words and words starting with vowels. and words that had more than one vowel in the middle
I remember I saw one video on Youtube of some poor kid who had to spell "negus" and he's looking like... Dude did you just say the N-word?
Haz, where is Spangle and who is that in your icon
You're welcome (for the te7)
I think it helps if you can see the words in your head (for spelling)
Yeah, I can spell really well but those spelling bees are hard
it helped that the winner had studied the final word
peri, Spangle is fine but I'm using the actor who played Carter in ER to illustrate wy4/10
ok, Haz
oh excellent clue icon Haz
Thank you, Nono. He's decorative, isn't he?
sure is
i was surprized when i learned he had been on ER from the very beginning
*sigh*
I always liked the character he played in ER. Young,rich, handsome and caring. Not George Clooney but you can't have everything.
noah wylie is very cute
I know Haz, I was so upset when George left the show
...
The final ER was shown here last night - I enjoyed the programme before it 'Previously on ER' - lots of good memories.
yes it was very good. It aired here about a month ago
We have hospital dramas over here, but I don't think they come close to matching ER.
My main problem is following what they're saying during the frantic minutes when a casualty arrives. Lots of 'STAT'!
I think only those who work in the medical field would understand all of what they say
good morning, does anyone have an icon clue?
I used to put the subtitles up just to make sure I hadn't missed anything.
I do and so does Haz
Yes, harpjane - mine is of Noah Wy4 who played Carter.
what is yours a clue for nono?
ew4/8 and 5/18
ok, got them, thanks nono
ok, need to get ready for my focus group, bbl to finish
Bye peri.
ah, nice one nanette
later Peri
take care peri
wow - lots of words from the far end of the alphabet for a grid this size
Well, time I was doing something even more exciting than this! Happy babbling to all and bye for now.
bye bye Haz
Bye!
good luck haz - have a great day
anyone have a definition for the wy4/10? dictionary.com doesn't, and I'm curious
which one taku there are two
I mean, I'm curious about what it means, not "I'm strange"
oh! the one haz's icon provided a clue for
(obsolete, except in Scots) To blame; to regard as guilty.
but thanks -- I got the other one, thanks to your question :)
Thanks, nebe!
are any of the 'N' words starting from the left-most tile common?
hi all, dinok's sone here
ah, nvm - just got one
one I had for lunch yesterday, as a matter of fact
hi dinok
hi tak. grid not to promising today
yeah, it's shaping up to be a tough one
I'm not going any further on this grid, way too impossible for me
any clues for the in7?
more of the in6
no in6 yet! hi nono
another rather uneventful grid to the archives
how many letters in the lone E word? please?
heh, and the in6 I have can't be modified that way
its an el7
el 7 --- whitney and his gin and an elementery particle: ele****
elec****
ins = crazy
ty nono
sorry didn't mean to give the 3rd letter
thanks nanette and neb
** FIREWORKS **
sorry I botched the el 7 -- starts with Tarzan actor ron ***
cognacs nanette!
congrats, NonoNatte
YAY for Nono!
el+cons=elec****ic
congrats nono!
think i'll go work in the garden while its cool
happy babbling everyone
take care - thanks for the great clues
bye nono ty 4 the clues!
bye, Nono
bye, 16 left for later
Hmm, got it down to 1BT - time for me to turn my attention elsewhere. Good luck, all!
back with an icon clue
i still think of him as the new guy!
is the lone E the el7?
yes
and how many letters in the lone Y?
it is the el 7 heheh
good morning ... how's the grid today?
lone y is 6/24
Easy to start,slow to finish, merk
(can
hmmm ... it struck me that way, too, but I was hoping not.
d'oh ... can't help but hear elmer fudd in the background on tw 5/18 and 6/30 ... hehehe)
hi everyone
hi dinok
dinok's son here
been workin at it for 3 hours, still 107 left!
Happy Friday, fellow puzzlers! (Saturday, for you Aussies).
hi judi, happy friday to you to. any clues for in7/36?
Not yet, dinok. I just started.
dinok, put the adverbial ending on the in 5/10
i havent got in5 yet!
in5---motionless, just laying there
In5: crazy; In7: more crazy
Hello Babble buddies!
Hiya, Scrabbler!
is that in7/36?
Oops. No. Sorry, dinok. That's an in7/28.
hi scrabbler!
Hi Scrabbs
Hello everyone
in 7 motionless?
*phone call*
Hi muse...long time
I am motionless today. Just can't seem to get it together. ever have days like that?
Hi Trif...absolutely
Hi Annie .. I know ... but babble is "pulling" me back.
too many trif ;)
Hiya Trif, Annie, mymuse, etc. etc.
Hi Judi
Many days start like that for me, Trif. Move forward.
hi Judi
I am sort of starting to think about moving....
hi Scrabs ... how was your last kyaking trip?
Hi briefly!
Monkey! How ya bean?
hi monkey
monkey!!! hi doll!
hi briefly back to you, MG
hi MG
OK, stressed in the work search and Danny's work fiasco but otherwise OK!
Great kayaking trip! No bald eagle sighting though.
Sorry to hear that, MG. Keep playing that lo7/36!
aww ... well 3 new falcons born here in the city ... the closest I get to see is on the TV
Can't afford a lo7 ticket. Oh well.
Well, it was a good way for me to sneak a clue in, anyway.
I did find a perfectly good Weber barbecue being thrown away though, so that's gone a good way to cheering us up-- got some spare ribs slow-smoking as I write.
oh thanks for the lo7, hadn't spotted it yet :)
I was using an old tin plant pot and a steamer. No smoking possibilities there, just quick and dirty grilling.
i dont get the clue
Mmmm. Yummy!
Game of chance, dinok. Numbers printed on a ticket...
Soaked them in rice wine and dark soy sauce and Chinese red sugar and Chinese chives and ginger for a while, now they're in there in a bath of that.
oh ty judy!
Dang, that sounds good, MG. Set the table, I'm coming over. I'll bring the beer!
Back later for the elusive 6
You're on!
re-hi. help with the last in 5/10 and 6/18 for fireworks, please
Or I should say, I'll smuggle in the beer.
You can bring something like 20 liters in your luggage.
I have an in 5.10 that is what you smooth clothes with + a vowel, if that helps at all?
ooops, sorry - that is an IR 5....
LOL! I'll keep that in mind. Although, I would be verry worried about breakage and subsequent beer-soaked clothes. Probably not the best idea.
welki,in7/36 take away last 2 letters
thanks, trif, but they begin with ir .. i'm looking for in
I've managed it several times. Just use stiff-sided luggage and wrap each bottle separately in at least 2 t-shirts.
that's the first in 5/10, dinok .. but thanks just the same :)
probably something sooo simple to figure out
Really now, what crazy tourist would bring beer to the Netherlands? That would be like bringing salt water to the ocean.
Everywhere has its own nice beers. Keep the wealth spreading around, I say!
Hey, Aloy is in the grid!
the *****duction - the beggining
ahhhhh! thanks, dinok's son! yay!
can i help anyone before i go?
i need in7/36, and yvm!
how many ty words are there, please?
Well, I need... let's see... 82 clues... but I won't bother you with that now.
So, MG - How's our little copper-penny haired Walter doing?
Walter is on day 1 of chicken pox (visible spots day 1, that is), but seems to be OK so far, no fever, not so many spots yet, not so much itching. He's pretty moody though.
We popped in to the doctor this morning to confirm, and then he was able to go to school for a big party day (half day). He's not the first in his class to come down with it, one kid is ALL spots right now.
UHG! That's a bummer. Better to get the pox out of the way while he's young though.
it's that first in 5/10 + the ending that might change a noun into a descriptor ... like i'm in heaven ... and then, this hot fudge sundae is heaven**
I know he'll probably be feeling pretty low in a day or so though. I'm glad he didn't have to miss the party today. Yes, early is better. I got it when I was 15, bleah.
I think I was 5 or 6. Whatever my older brother got, he generously gave to me. I'm sure my mother was always thrilled to have two sick kids.
Oh yes, taht's a total thrill. I just have Walter, but the neighbor has 3, one is just 4 and one is 2 and one is a baby. They all got the stomach flu recently. I was glad I am not her.
She has my sympathies. I found it easier not to have any children, so I didn't have to go through any of the diseases, or worry, or expense, etc.
(no ty words)
is there a cclue 4 in7/36
Oh yes, that would be easier. But I can't imagine life without Walter. We did wait until I was 36-- that's just how things worked out. He will probably be an only child. Certainly can't think about a second one now, and i'm already 40.
Well, he's perfect, so you couldn't top him!
i answered you at 9:38 (look down :)
thanks weilki - that would certainly explain why I can't find one!!!
Yes he is. Thank you for noticing. I'm not so worried about whether he'll be an only child or not. I was until I was 11 and it was fine with me.
in7/36 add an adverb ending to a science term used to describe matter when it is inactive
or a clue 4 te7/28
Fair warning to everyone: there is a yt6/26.
a sea bird + the end of the edible bulb that makes you cry (te 4/4 + on***)
How do you spell that shudery noise Sideshow Bob makes when he steps on a rake? No, I do have that one though. But still.
ty welki and muse
OK, must off to scrub things and put things away and check those ribs. I'll be back sporadically. Have fun, everyone!
ty welki :)
See ya!
ciao MG enjoy
OMG still 97 left!
Phone call is done. I am helping a friend who is having marital problems--husband is interacting with another woman to an unclear extent and my friend has been struggling for a few wks.
Can I get a clue for re 6/21?
Scrabbs, I feel for your friend.
I don't have that and 85 other words, Annie.
ah, the girls and boys of the later time are here! Hello all :)
Scrabbs, I know what she's going through ...
you are such a good friend, scrabbler!!!!
hi mrp!
hi mrp
French Open is on... I do not sleep during the night.... vampire time!! How is everyone!??
trif! muse! scrabbs! annie! judi! monkey! din! et al :)))
She is giving him a chance to demonstrate commitment to her and their toddler son, but he is not showing signs of being a committed husband and father, so it is time to discuss separation. he is being such a jerk.
hello
Hi phaeton, mrp
mrp :))
hi phae
oh man! Nadal is wearing a pink shirt!! Noooooooo! not a good colour on the boy
I can highly, highly recommend collaborative lawyers, scrabbler. It works
hi phae!
hi phaeton
Been there Scrabs...I wish her the best.
lol!
Oooh, maybe I should switch to the laptop and sit in front of the TV.
Scrabbs...stupid husband..
hi phae
If I have already had 4 glasses of wine... would a 5th really make any difference??
One of my sisters is a lawyer, and has gone through divorce, so my friend will call her now.
I fear it may tomorrow, mrp!
who is getting unhitched???
mrp...only if you want to stand up
ah trif... no commitments tomorrow!
me, for one
My friend, mrp, is dealing with a suddenly jerky husband.
surprise surprise surprise! don't fall off your chairs! I actually am not 'volunteering' for something this weekend!
suddenly jerky huh?? hmmmm, suss.
Good for you, mrp. rest, relax, spend time with Lickety and the kids.
*he falls*
my babies came home to me tonight, after 3 days away!! No contact... no nothing!! I wanted to die! But the little angels are sleeping next to me now.... puuuuurrrrrrrr
*wide butt remains firmly planted on chair*
LOL! I surprised myself!
hello again all, the Jeep is ready for trading!
man there was a lot of dog hair
hi sue
suddenly jerky husband can be one or more of three things: he is in midlife crisis he is cheating with another man/woman drugs
hi sue ... good luck with the trade
My first auto was a 1988 Jeep Cherokee. I loved it and drove it to 197K miles.
that is what we are trading in
wow!
suddenly jerky husband my ass, he just got caught
oooh, first cars! Mine was a Honda Accord.... 1985... kermit the frog green!
mrp, it is "midlife" stuff---married x 4 yrs, toddler son, financial demands, debt, AND a younger woman, also with a son, is tempting him.
scrabs, he is a dickhead and will regret it all
okay, I am going to go and try to add some value. 20 words left for later....love to all!
love you too trif!
bye tri
cya trif
don't mind me... just speaking my mind
ciao trif ... hand!
He has become mean, nasty, and then at other times is nice and loving. I think he is ambivalent--wants to behave like an adolescent again, but also understands what he "should" be doing as a responsible adult/husband/father.
Bye Trif! (Trif)
I agree mrp ... could be a case of the grass looks greener on the other side ...
mean, nasty... nice, loving.... bipolar
scrabs, tell her to stand up and know that this is not due to her lacking in any way and that he needs to divorce him and forgive him truely. Then God will squish him like a bug. that will be after he marries this twit, pays your friend child support, and then he will cheat on her.
like I always say, what goes around, comes around.
leopards don't change their spots
Could just be confused too....he never acted this way before and he is 34.
that is young scrabs
he just got through his childhood, now he knows stuff
I am supporting her so much
i find it facinating that some of my friends have nabbed husbands that have cheated on their ex-wives... then they wonder why their husband leaves them for another woman! DUH!@
and stuff is filling his eyes. and if he was confused and honest, he would have gone to counciling w/and without your friend.
I do not think he is bipolar, perhaps he is depressed over his current situation
mid-life crisis
He is confused and is struggling with life's responsibilities
scrabs, no excuse... there is always therapy... and a child to think of
Scrabs, I stood by my X through 3 seperations, it was enough. I was and still am better then that
mid-life phae, he is only 34, will he do this again at 50?
my ex was younger than that when he started his roving eye
oh hell no! life's responsibilities are waiting around the corner like a hungry tiger.
He has no right to make her feel like she is feeling. I know she is scared, but tell her God doenst give more then you can handle.
My friend has given him a few wks to demonstrate his willingness to be committed and to get help, to repair the marriage. It is time to separate now. I am so disappointed in him.
that is why he is an ex, right?
hard to say, my ex went through another wife before finally settling down, with someone that he didn't want me to become
Scrabs, no empathy ... what is different from what he is thinking of perhaps leaving and going to? would be even more responsibilities financially
Yes, mrp, he has no idea how much divorce will cost him financially, and child support.
right! I got tired of being told he didn't love me, I wasn't the kind of wife he wanted, but when I filed he said his whole life was ending...the kids and I were his whole life...HAH!
i don't think that some men think this through.... leave the wife and child... rack off with another woman with a child... hello??? expensive much?
scarbs, I would tell her to let him go, get the seperations papers done so that when he wants to show off for his girlfriend buying a bunch of stuff they cant afford, it wont come back on her.
He tells the kids it was the worst mistake he ever made...hindsight!
Yep, she is going to speak with my attorney sister this morning and learn how to protect herself and her son
then I would advise her to go to a divorce care class, to see what life will be like for her again. She is going to be ripped in half by this, two became one, and it is not a clean cut.
if I left lickety, I would be a stupid beyatch with little regard for myself and my children! Everything can be resolved. Just My Opinion!
Give her all the support you can!
woah, tough conversation!
ya reckon dinok! LOL
And then I would wish him the best, because he will need it to be with a woman that would take a man away from his kid.
She will need to grieve for what she hoped her life would be, but she will be better off without him. We will surround her with love and support.
sue, she is a slag
that is what she will need
lol
anyway i gotta go 4 a while. bbl babblers!
I think it was in yesterdays grid tw4
Bye Dino
see ya din :)
scrab, you also have to give her alone time to fall into the pit that she alone can climb out of
that will give her the strength to not deal with this again
Scrabs, what is his excuse for spending time with this other woman?
it will be horrible to watch, but time heals, not you. She need to get mad at the maker and cry with the child. Curl up next to him and find her reason for life. then she can see the light again
all I can say at this interception is.... dumbass!!!
I was always unea** with this guy, even before the marriage, but I couldn't quite pinpoint why.
My favorite candy is the sugar fruit slices!
fruit tingles here
good afternoon all :-)
mymuse, he has admitted talking with her a lot, but nothing more, and states that he is done
hello cat
oh srabs, dont forget to bring her food and stuff the kid likes, she wont feel like cooking or cleaning and stuff. that is a way to help her
Hello OC in Greece!

Bye Marc.

hi haz
cya marc
bye muse
I am not doing well with this grid. All of 17 words in and I don't like it.
Hello Uniquity. Lots of babblets today. Lots and lots.
Hello dinok.
wi6?
wi6/30 - looks like and sounds like an Elmer Fudd version of 'small'
Or go forward with comedy (three letters)and backwards with what you bid on at auction (three letters)
thanks
You're welcome.
half way, off to work bbl
Bye harpjane, have a good day at work.
hi all! hi haz!
TO! How are you?
fine, and you?
I'm well. We've got sunshine today and I'm wearing sandals!
I feel like I've tried that wi6 every which a way and not getting it
Talk about throwing caution to the wind!
well i am at work and wearing sport thongs...jazzed up flip flops! TGIF
Esprit - start with the first three letters of the amusing wi5/22 that comes later. Add 'Have I ***d you lately that I love you'
Jean, it ends with part of a spanish cheer
gulp
I think I've already got that 6
:-\
Sport thongs would be entirely different this side of the pond. Underpinnings on display! Are they colourful?
color me "dense"
LOLOLOL
I could hear that 'gulp' from here.
i have that same wi 6 as jean...is there another?
Just the one, TO.
yes let's spread that rumor girls, did you hear owl is sitting aroung babbling in her unides....
at work LOL
I do that all the time!
Yes, gone to work in her underpinnings and boasting about it.
one of the benefits of living alone
not that there's anything wrong with that. I just don't want it public knowledge - TMI!
I'm awfully glad there are no webcams about sometimes.
ditto
you could just drape your thong over it
LOLOLOL
how can there be 12 freakni "I" words in there?
well i on4 have one o word - help please?
i meant from first column o
There's a on5/14 that means stubborn
do you have the on5/14?
ok, just got another and i will worl on that clue
It seems we want you to get the on5/14.
it seems my brain has rebleleed
You're having a brain bleed? Your brain is rebelling? Just how tight are those thongs?
lololol
i know so many words for stubborn and i cannt get it
What a point to enter that chat at!!!
It normally starts orn***, TO.
FM!!!!!!!!
Aha. Mention underpinnings and FM appears!
on5/14 - Follow a number with Mr Cooder
*Bounding leaps into FM's lap* Why Mama, you're so pretty today!
Hi all, how s the grid today? ((TO)) LOL Haz *grin*
FINALLY! LOL
Hooray!
Awe sweeps Uni up in a huge hug, Hi honey bun!
The grid is fun, FM. As long as you remember your babblets and don't wear your thongs too tight, you'll be fine.
i have not stitched un5/6;one who emplys us4...missing?
hey, uni!
un5/16 - take back a word?
Too wam for much underpinning today - amazing I know!
Hey TO! You're also lovely. With a wee small animal! Hazel is striking as well.
un6/33 = not stitched + another consonant (means the same thing)
Aren't I, though? <----------- George wasn't the only good-looking actor on ER.
ty, u's are done. unlike i words
This is very true. Noah Wy4 is gorgeous. I also like Goran Visjnic (sp?).
So Cirque de Solei blew your mind then Uni ? and one day I will be able to spell it properly honest :)
FM is throwing off her underpinnings and waving them at the lumberjacks.
The i words aren't too unusual, TO. A little crazy, a little motionless, but not unusual.
and robud is so sparkly!
Cirque was phenomenal. I only wish I could watch every one of the 17 shows here :P
Rbud is the twinkle in our eyes.
I hato say that I love rbuds icon , usually moving icons make me fees icky but the twinkly stars are sweet.
hey has anyone cisited wordrampage.com?
We could have a chorus of 'Starry starry night'
Usually the motion icons just do not work for me...I like that one though, glittering away.
I haven't, TO. What's it all about?
rbud..this grid was never made for one as beautiful as you.....
'Are the stars out tonight?'
Oh dear. I've just thought - Vicuna might be here soon and she might be tempted to sing.
I am going to the site now, TO
lolol
it is boggle. i have been hanging there a bit
She's not online. We may just have got away with it.
Oh go on Haz, let Vi have a sing,it is a beautiful day after all and the weekend is beckoning.
Well, if she does appear and does start singing, I'll just smile and act as though I'm enjoying it.
bottom y clue please?ty
sing and dance like no one is watching:))
Very nice Haz, (will have one of your special pills at hand if you need it).
hey crossy!
((crossy))!
yt6, TO. Just what you wanted to hear....
It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood, a wonderful day to be neighbours...oh would you be mine? Oh won't you be my neighbour??
well i heard it many times today. but i am in denial.
Y, a double helping of a consonant, finish off with Spanish female river
Can I get citizenship Uni? and a place with a view of the sea LOL
ty
You're welcome.
Citizenship, pah! You're still part of our motherland. Get a work visa or something. I could move home and we could make the boys live in the shed and have parties all day and night. Come on down for an ocean view!
All day and all night parties? And when does she get time to babble at that rate?
any compound words beginning with oxygen?
We will build the PB and hold 24/7 Babble parties :D
Babble parties sometimes, silly. You and Ata could come too. Bring Spangle, Hobbit and Sily. Emma will rule them all.
FM, you really need a pet so we can talk about her. Needs to be a her, as well.
Can't help you TO, haven't actually started the grid today.
No compound words of that description, TO.
lol i still have my U,K citizenship..should move back and go bother fm:)))
FM has her pink hippo, it wallows in her bath.
well i must go poke mny head out for air - i think i actually see the sun!
LOL you can come bother me anytime crossy :) I have a pink hippo?
You have a pink something. Did Ata not disclose it one time?
Is pink hippo a reference to the things under the thongs??
Enjoy the sun, TO!
Bye, TO! Thanks for dropping by at the same time as me, :)
*gulp*
My mind is boggling, I remember Greek dancing tunics, and very bad spelling miskates but nothing about a pink hippo.
mm crossy thinks that pink hippo is a bad name for womens undergarmets
There's a lot of gulping going on in the States.
Here comes the sun, doo doo doo doo, here comes the sun.....
Wash out your mind, cross!
scarbbs1:)
aw now see? i don't want to leave!
yay Scrabs!
Uh, oh, Mother is on the phone now.
I serenade you all with music. The hills are alive with the sound of music.
scrbas when are yo coming to NJ?
I thought FM had a toy hippo. I must have made a mistake. This does not happen often, as I remind my daughters frequently.
scrabs, i hope you have a speaker phone.
Nope, Owl, but I can be here.
**Haz has lost the plot** does happy dance :D
i was thinking she used the fantasia ballet hippos for an icon once?
i made a mistake once..i thought i was wrong ,but i wasnt;)))
How many of those pills was I supposed to take?
I just took my pills, LOL.
Was 5 too generous a dosage?
Nope TO the only pink ish thing I have ever had as an icon was Ermintrude the Cow from the Magic Roundabout.
LOL Haz, see you in about 2 weeks then with that dose!
Z is done.
Ah yes. FM is named after Ermintrude, did you all know that?
oh now wiat a darn minute.....no more sending me out looking for uk cartoon and childhood characters, that ended badly last time.
Perhaps you've got a bug or a worm somewhere you could dye pink, use as a pet and name Hippo. Then we would all be right.
i take a white pill for blood pressure,a brown pill for the bowels,the little green one for memory and the rest of them i cant remember:)
You'll not go wrong with Ermintrude, TO - very innocent little programme.
LOL, Cwossy
yep. i have heard that before. like with captain hornblower or whatever.
oookkk Uni if that would make you happy I have a pink sock and I will call it Emma2
Captain Pugwash.
lol crossy
ROFL Haz
you could make a caterpillar from the pink sock. like a sock monkey.only a pink worm. with lots of legs.
lvery creative TO, love it.
Gulp. The thought of needles and threads....
Or could you staple on the legs?
and thimbles :)
Too much gulping. I think everyone has raided a certain wine cabinet....
no needles. no threads. fabirc glue.
Oh did ruru leave his keys in the PB again?
Fabric glue? Why couldn't that have been around in the days when my sewing teacher was trying to torture me?
staple on the legs. sounds cruel.
You'd anaesthetise the worm first, of course.
Bigger than Ruru's resources, I am thinking ;)
or use pipe cleaners and just poke them through the sock
Oh, good thinking FM. You can get sparkly pipe cleaners for extra oomph.
ruru has a vinyard, how much bigger are we talking??
well it would not be alive until you stictched the last stictch, so s'ok.
what ARE you lot talking about, fm and uni?
Beats me, TO. They need to stick to the subject at hand, i.e. the creation of an animal from a pink sock.
Uni implied some had been on the booze and I was just questioning her facts :)
How about a parrot? Buy some feathers, glue them on (not hot glue, of course) and voila. A parrot.
well it's is nearly time to go. wokring on a project and i fear a colleague has los tthe data. after working for two days on it. i hope i am wrong.
Oh Ata has lots of feathers, I could steal some of them.
With Hobbit around, you could get the feathers straight from the source. IE - a mouldy dead crow.
a matter of not renaming file after data has been entered, it's on a shared drive.
someone say booze?
I hope you're wrong, TO, as well. Keep looking at your flip-flops for cheer.
g'day, back for the 2nd half
Hello josh.
geeze,crossy, you are much more excited at the mention of liquor than at ladies' skivvies.
Hi josh Cracks a bottle for crossy and puts some bacon on the BBQ
do they make bacon flavored vodka? they seem to make every ohter flavor
give me ladypants over liquor anyday
and i love my share of liquor
TO - here's what's sad - they actually do make bacon vodka
well josh, you are too late.
sorry cant use the skivvies..allergic to lace dont ya know;)
well htere is hope for this world yet
lololol
im actually crating bacon vodka as we speak!!:))))

oh you jest
LOL!

no CRATE it and send it this way! ;D
Google says it is already real. Bacon vodka. Called Bakon.
well home made is always better:)
I wonder how long it took them to think of the name.
My friend brews his own beer. He's making me black cherry cider at some point this summer.
It can't have been ea4.
lolol you lot, really must go - happy babbling!
Bye TO!
Bye TO!

And I should edge towards the kitchen. Food to make and all that.
Bye Haz, I think I had better be off too. Thanks for the laughs all. Happy Babbling.
and the great thing is that at the end of it ill end up with half a pound of pickled bacon bits;))))
Bye all!
tc all those leaving;)
the boozy bacon bits will be great sprinkled on a salad:))
be like eating the tequilia worm;))
bacon works well for shining shoes
well im off to turn the vodka bottle to distribute the bacon flavour and its off to work.have a good day all and happy babbling;)

ty, been monkeying around with that yt for a while now.. you, as in were you the one who used za in a lexulous game agains me recently?
Spanish river but make it feminine. I am sorry about those esss that showed up.
you talking about the za, dorens?
not sure, haven't found it :(
za5, yes
* blink * you're making me think! LOL
it came up in one of my lexulous games and i thought... if it weren't for babble, who would know that was anything other than a country!!!
za is the name of an african country.
oh, that za!!! ;)
but that is a proper noun, which isn't acceptable. it is also the name of the currency of that country
lol pini
how about the firs un, please stidgmere?
gosh so much happened while I was on the hotline!
One never really knows what is used on the grid. Sometimes French words are bonne but other times not. Spanish slips in as easily as English. And of course there are Welsh words which are really mean.
hey jmc
oh, and don't forget the french, stidg
un is not to speak. then there is not to use needle and thread and then not to have used needle and thread.
true stidg'mere, which is why i try everything, you just never know. some indian foods are good, others aren't
ty. thought for sue i had put in not speak earlier today
I have a general rule not to eat foods that hurt. However that is usually discovered after the fact.
I try not to speak
yeah, finally hit 1/2-way (75/75)...off to list I go!
hi j
i try not to speak while eating. That is why I am such a slow eater.
I talk while eating...
...just have to remember to put the fork down before Signing!
oh, i meant the words for indian foods, not the indian foods themselves... i like eating most
Well, I believe it is time for me to wander off. Hope to be back tomorrow.
See, it's not polite to talk with your mouth full; and it's not polite to Sign with your hands full!
have a great afternoon/evening, s'mere
bye stidgmere, enjoy your day
I rarely eat Indian words so cannot be an expert on that. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Au revoir, toute le monde.
funny. my last two words were te6/24 and we6/36, and they go together
bye stidmere
a demain, peut-etre, stidgmere
"out feet are stained" (Americanized German good-bye) * giggle *
funny pini
* our
what can I say, German spelling is not my forte!
those last two words were literally my last two words... if anyone needs clues, ask now, cause i'm on my way to the treadmill before a very fattening dinner!
Hi fellow Babblers! Back for the last 65... I hope!
wtg dorens!
hi beach
hi beach... ty pini
I'd ask, dorens, but too many left right now...maybe later this afternoon/evening?
btw, have you taken your Lex turn?
(ps: the slaughter is quite an effective way to win!) LOL
treadmill now, dinner then (with lots of wine), later tonite lexulous (well, maybe one lexlous turn before treadmill)
( * giggle * )
don't work too hard!!!!
problem is pini, if i take the turn with you, then i kind of want to take turns in all my 20 other games, which is why nothing ever gets done around here
ROFL! Oh, how I know that feeling!!! :)
ok pini, don't hate me. i took my turn. now got to change into sweats for the treadmill
belated whoo hoo dorens
the pone rang again

Thanks Pinikula. I think it is the first time I picked a 7-letter word as an icon clue.I usually just do an eay 4-letter word most people have by the time I log on.
Goodbye dinok! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!
gads, these words are about as bad as pulling teeth!
I agree.. this is a slow grid
how many DR?

I got 136 words left
go dude go!!!!

I'm sure you're going to have soooo much fun!...

no- today is cloudy and gray.. misty even
June gloom
uh oh...
I am hoping it will pass
we were told it was going to be 1 degree lower than yesterday's 83F...now that was ok because we had a great breeze running through...
but nooooooooooooooo, it's over :(
I'm sure it will DR!
what happened
jogging breezes are so dedicated
apparently the weathermen are idiots?
* tackle hugs * Hey, BR!
Quite possibly
Hi BR-
it's over = the temperature isn't lower by 1, instead higher by 6 and no breeze ;(
hello all
hiya peri

Oh, didn't know you didn't know what it was, bug!
glad I could help ;)
That is very sweet- Thanks!
* big grin *
I am not very computer short hand savy but my student is helping me out. Had no idea what LMAO was but took it as a compliment anyway. Turns out it was...
* giggle *
that was inapropriate bugsaw
ROFL Bugs- Just told Dude what that means. ; )
its ok MEga Dude- Bugs is allowed!
* well trained kid- sorry
DR, you should be proud, not sorry!!! :)
mean's he pays attention!
Thanak you for the reminder Megadude. Sometimes older people need to be reminded too. I hope you can forgive me. I will be more aware again.
I think you should be proud of being able to speak up too.
did I scare BR away?
its okay bugsaw
I promise I won't tackle hug him again if I did!
Thanks Dude.
You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy, You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy, You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray, You may call me anything but no matter what you say You're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed You're gonna have to serve somebody.

had to think about that one, BR...true...and where do get this "facts"?
from my non-grade school recesses
i am logging off everybody . peace
does that translate to "detention"?
take care, dude!
Bye Dude
Bye Dude. Good clues you gave.
be well, Mega
Ty all for being patient with him- I truly appreciate it
He found 19 words
Can anyone please clue the se 6/33? and re6/21? Thanks.
oh, not at all...family is family!
hi nurse
the Dude is fine. But now I can ask -- what is ROFL in case that is not appropriate too?
sorry, don't have either
Rolling On Floor Laughing
Hi Pinikula.
se 6 is a grabber with a lower case ultimate alphabetical
Rolling on floor laughing
oooh, thx BR...
re 6 -- sounds somewhat like the artist
Thank Pini. I was quite ashamed of myself. I work with middle schoolers and forgot that LMAO might not be appropriate
LMBO? would that be better?
I told him what it meant and he laughed very hard so I was surprised he said that!
(as a "just in case")
he was probably more surprised that us "old" folks were using it! LOL
how about hohoho
Green Giant!
: )
I was actually honoured DR because I keep telling the kids I work with to be strong and speak up. He did. He was not afraid to remind me and he didn't make me feel badly about my mistake.
Thanks Bugs! He is mostly a good kid just wants to be older
btw: how old?
10- he will be 11 in January
te 7 --aquatic bird and charged particle
oh, didn't realize that young...he did exceptionally well!!!!
HE has watched me play for a while and is somewhat familiar with how Babble works
I don't believe kids who know themselves are misbehaving. I admire their spunk. A friend's son heard an adult swearing at a kid on the ski hill and even though he was younger than the kid getting chewed out, Mathew went up and told the out of control adult that he did not appreciate that kind of language in public and it was not appropriate to talk to anyone that way. All the adults standing around clapped because he said what they were thinking.
we 6 -- correlative of the te 6
very impressive, bug!
Wow Bugs!
I love that kid
ty BR
brb...must take koda out.....
BR, ty for the se. Still can't find the re.
re 6 == add by the ocean: *** and vowel

re 6/21 is a net or mesh foundation for lace. Put the definition in reverse dictionary and it's #1 on the list

hi DR

No hand slapping game up here...
oh, we did... 6th grade... 4 in a circle...
http://www.rafaelnadal.com -- there's a color theme!!
we could go fast
Bugs0- Kje said she would clean up her act if Megadude was on
my nieces used to do that. made my hands hurt just watching them
Just tell him to say Hi whenever he is on and we will all try to behave.
why? did bugs say something about my act?
do you remember "say say my playmate"? i still remember the words and routine
Good evening could I get a clue for re5/10 I figure the re6/18 is the plural of it, please?
re5 - kidney hormone - controls BP
Hi Marc. re+ eight, ***e and ten
Never mind Kje... you are fine
No kje but I was repremanded gently by Megadude for putting LMAO in the chog. It was not appropriate.
Kje, are you dreaming of your second childhood? remembering all the kiddy games...
LMAO??? he took offense to LMAO???? oh no! we are in deep doo doo
ROFL !! It is because he is not supposed to say "A"
He is only 10!
lbd - just free associating I guess
laughing my attitude off!
we would say "ass", and if we got in trouble, we would say, "I was talking about the donkey!"
that works Dawger or Pini came up with LMBO
I like LMBO
butt is OK? and ass isn't? hmmm
lmbo is cute!
we could just say limbo, then it wouldn't offeend
i know kje, went thru the samething with my folks. couldn't say ass, but, butt was okay. go figure
Hi everyone.
butt is ok..
Hi Red

Hello angelinaxox! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

There is a product with black cohosh, clover something and something else...hm, I am not being helpful.
Autumn, is is an OTC product and I took the generic form for a while after my surgery
you make a tea, autumn; or you get capsules.
Hi Jellen
a natural foods store could help you with that.
Come…dragging the lazy languid Line along
Soybeans have phytoestrogens--biologically similar to our estrogen
BR, was that a clue?
I guess I will have to schedule a trip to the store tomorrow. I just googled cohash - apparently it helps you lose weight too

Une, I am in shock! I am so blessed! But telling the madman will be a challenge.
pretty good, Une! a little tired, but have cleared my schedule for Tuesday so should be able to write a decent paper based on (minimal) original research. A good 100-level college project, which is the class level I am taking.
Oooh, what's the job news, Scrabbler?

YAY STID!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yippee Stid!
(yay me)
Good luck
He will be stunned, Stid, although we have had years of friction as I refuse to be bullied.
I am glad to finish. I am going to lie down and rest my ocular parts for a bit now. Have been mostly "up" and going for 11 hours, and just need some quiet.
Late yay for stid!!!
Please relax, Stid!
I am glad you are doing something good for yourself, cousin. You deserve a comfortable work environment.
enjoy a bit of down time, stid :-)
back in a while if I can to help clue.
Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log
I am so happy to be joining a nice, nice, honest, smart group of docs, and my drive will be 12 minutes instead of 45, except when I have to drive to the Native American reservation clinic
sounds so wonderful, scrabs, and you deserve it!!
There is also a large Amish population to care for
so much diversity . . . wow
i still dont get the in 7,36 can you clue it for dummies ???? ;)
That sounds great, Scrabbler!
And many lower socioeconomic families in the country
adverb form of in5
And many farmers--I admire them so much, such hard work
sounds like very satisfying work for you, scrabs
Different challenges, but a much healthier, supportive environment, with true collegiality
what a difference that will make!
*picturing scrabs' bunnies hopping around with glee!*
Miss Bea Bunny is sitting near me.

Aw, Miss Bea just stretched out and placed her head down on outstretched paws
could i please have another clue for in7,36
in 7/36 adds an adverbial ending to the in 5/10 word
in5 (idle, immobile) + adverb ending
