Has anyone seen the movie Living Proof with Harry Connick Jr?
when we bought this house I found a Waterford punch bowl hidden in the back of a cupboard. It was so greasy and grimy that I put it in the dishwasher and the result was beautiful. I'm sure I'll be arrested by the crystal police someday.

wtg, joshua
wtg josh!
how is everyone this tuesday
hi MRP. such sad/bad news, my thoughts are with you all
hi Josh
what's the sad/bad news?
MRP has sickness in the family
that sucks
i lost my grandfather last week after a long illness
sorry to hear that MRP
thoughts are with your family, mrp.. am off to sleep now, g'nite all.. ooh, condolences to you joshua.. so sorry..
my sympathies Josh. Grandparents are very special
i agree. and i now feel more strongly about living wills than i did before
I am stunned... they took 12 different biopsies and all came back with a Gleason score of 10... They are doing a CT scan on thursday to determine if it has gone to his bones
who is sick, mrp?
Lickety's Dad josh
So much bad news to absorb in such a short time ((hugs)) MRP & Lickety
very sorry to hear that - i hope for the best for you and yours
good luck to Lickety's dad, mrp
thanks girls and boys
hey lynxx... lickety is in shock, cause it came out of left field for him! To be so advanced and have had no symptoms is just a shock to him.
Hi. Mr Pres please send my love ok
I was just going to ask how he is today. And he must be feeling awful because he can't actually do anything. Is he with his Dad now? I know just having an 'ear' helps. Hope his father isn't the strong silent type, he needs to let go
hi infern, I will hun, thanks
sorry I am lurking and very scattered but You have my love
I am going to chat with him when he gets home and find out if he wants to go see his dad. I think he should... and the kids should see him before the op
Hi all, came back to turn off comp. and checked chat, Mrp and Lickety...best of thoughts and prayers are with you both
Hal is not the silent type, good lord no! But he is the 'sweep it all under the carpet' type and their relationship is 'shake hands' only.
I think so too. Get the kids to make some get well cards for him. They will be cheerful for him to look at
thanks cj :)
the very least we can do :)
night all, and stay positive mrp!
Hugs Mr Pres
night cj!
HI OSGMA and night CJ
hi OSGD :)

TY - enjoy!
Ouch! What a huge grid
hi Alleyn, it's not too bad though
I hate to think how many re's there are hidden away in there!
Hi FM. My issues are with the P's...and a lot of the larger words...BBL dishes call
see you later lynxxx
Hi FM and lynxxx thought I'de let you know there are 28 pr words and 27 re words !
morning all
Hi Dianne and thanks I think :) 27 re's LoriP will have a fit!!
Good morning spritey sprite!
The re words are all pretty normal words - it's just that you don't know which direction to look/go in this grid.
hi FM :)
There's how many what's??????
LOL! Hi LoriP :)
hi Loreri
Don't Hi Lori me. 27 re's? ***sulks and mumbles about morning***
teehee!!
I think 27 is quite lenient given how many starting points there are for them
I don't think you are scoring points with Lori right now, FM...
There's now 3 things I'm sure of. There is a hell. It has re's. It has a Karaoke machine.
*grin*
if you had left out the Karaoke machine, it could have been babble
if there is a hell it has re's, be's and pre's....good morning everyone
morning Eva
but at least Merp is in the grid today! Morning Eva :)
G'd morning Ehva
FM, how's this grid, a killer?
I know...he's very proud of that
Thoroughly enjoying it so far Lori but only at the half way point.
Ahh, the honeymoon phase....
goodness I've just noticed howmany b's there are. working backwards does have some advantages.
I'm past the honeymoon into the marriage counseling phase
lol
lolol Ehva. Least 'yer not at the Jerry Springer stage yet.
I see a black honeymoon rising
I walk away from the computer before the Jerry Springer stage
Oh he (Jerry Springer) is in a West End musical I believe, Chicago if I remember correctly.
I've never been able to watch more than 5 minutes of Jerry Springer. I get too intensely embarrassed for all concerned.
Yep. That's right up there (for me) with 'Reality TV' like Jon and Kate, and all that stuff. Torture for me.
I remember when his shows were first shown ver here, never seen anything like it!
hey
OH heck i just saw the Re's
hey lady
Hay!
morning herin
How you all? Sprite I love Terra pics
thanks lady :) He has grown a lot, hasn't he?
Basking in glorious sunshine here :)
He has. I am eating organic meat from Cleavers butchers best $7 a steak i have spent
mmmm steak!
Its brillant
89 left, and that includes both of the 0's and 6 of the 8's. ugh
I meant the 9's....but 0 is how I'm doing
interesting typo
You wtg Eva!
Yes!!! Just got the be8/9 combo! Just needed to whine enough first
Ahh here comes the first of the helicopers, it's the first day of Royal Ascot and the traffic will be building up rapidly on the roads and in the sky!
brb going to see if i can borrow my neighbours vacuum as a trade for lemon butter.
OMG, is it ugly hat and hideous outfit day again already?
good luck lady
yes Lori, can't wait to see some of the fashion faux pas!
what is Royal Ascot, if I am allowed to ask?
Hard to believe that so many finncially comfortable people don't own mirrors.....
of course you can sprite, it a huge horse racing event.
speaking of embarrassing TV....every once in a while I take a peek at some of the BBC comedy shows - and there seems to be a really bizarre strain of utterly gross- sort of 6 year old boy potty humor that people obvoiusly find utterly entrancing. guess it's the across the pond answer to Jerry Springer
LOL lori!
thanks FM
The Queen and members of the Royal famiy attend, much pomp and ceremony and also much fun. I live less than a mile away from the racecourse.
sounds like fun. Don't you mind the traffic and helicopters above your head?
okay. This grid and I are moving into decree nisi territory
hello everyone :)
hi mrp
It's only for 4 days and you get used to being invaded by 60,000+ people, it's fun to see all the stretch limmos and posers.
hello mrP
....and the outfits are to die for.
lots of entertainment for free
I might take the camera out with me just incase I can snap some 'classic' outfits.
well Lori, wouldn't you need to be close to death to fit into them?? LOL
there is a moment when all these hollywood skanks reach their perfect body image, and it is about 3 weeks after death.
Im diving back in, haven't entered a single word since I started chatting. Hi MrP
tell me if you succeed, FM, and we will have a "fashion at its worst" icon day
oh brill idea sprite!
already looking forward to your ugliest *shot* :)
LOL
Ah the god of love is back in the grid, he has be4 absent for so long!
too true
Okay, time to roll the boys out of bed. Back later
bye Lori
Byee Lori
peeks in at the grid....and its a nice juicy one for my day off! Sprite how is your gorgeous puppy doing?
hey red! He is doing very well, lazing about atm.
hey again vacuum obtained
out of lemon butter now
?
printing out cleaning list so is all good. No i will make the butter on thursday after i clean
Did I scare everyone?

Hey folks, tell me how to make lemon butter. It sounds delicious!
hi hydra
Hope you're well, sprite. Perfect summer say here, blue sky, fluffy clouds, gorgeous.
Hydrrraaaaaa
Hiya herinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn :-)
Hydra I will send you a recipe if you like its really fiddely
we are having terrible rain. Maybe it will be a little better this afternoon, looks like the sky is breaking open now
must be off for now, lunch to make for daughter. Bye all, have fun.
Hope you get some of our wonderful sunshine sprite.
Enjoy Sprite
Yes please herin, I'd love the recipe. Thanks v much!
Must do some work now. C U l8r, herin
Its an old country women association recipe.
Ok
Mr. P all my best to your family in this difficult time
HI Bichon
Hi Herin, et al
LOL just found the Vulcan greeting 'Live long and pr7/36' Such a fun grid!
oh dear my nerdy self did not see that
*grin*
I think i was still looknig at RE words
Hope hurshy spots it!
be 8 50 please?
Oh tell me, Im' still re'ing
I am Re ing sorry
a round purple vegetable Lynn
I can help with the 8/40...its "s" on the end of the 7/28!
hmmmm im not seeing it
me neither
lol Ian wish that was one of my missing re's
the be 9 is he pl of the be 8
be8/9 - grows underground and turns your pee purple if you eat too much of it esp in salads :) Also great pickled.
good in borscht too
Ah yes!! good one bichon.
you can mash it up and put in chocolate cakes to make them moist. They also make them bright magenta and taste like veggies. ugh
Yeah, got about 7 or 8 that I'd missed there...thanks!
I like the idea of using them as a replacement in cake
Still hundreds to go though!
another good recepie point there gort
now this? i hear you cry. My sister went through a nauseating phase of be8 chocolate cakes. Killed the family's tastebuds and desire to live, but kept us healthy on the inside
LOL GORT
well if you can have carrot cake why not be8 cake :)
yes. i can lol about it now. But only after a lot of therapy and chocolate/chocolate cake
I hate beets in every form. There! it's out
my cat thinks i am a chew toy
and that has earned you a visit to the PB bichon :)
were you raised in a normal family that didn't try to turn vegetables into desserts, bich?
There'd better not be the b-word in there.
yep
LOL, you tell me, bich
its a be, re, pr free zone :)
There were a lot of thing my family ate [and thought delicious] that turn my stomach. Jellied chicken feet and tongue
what did the A do wrong?
Yes, and Mama Ligga [a Romanian dish like polenta]
i see that Jerry Seinfeld's wife has released a book of vegetable dessert cheats. It strikes me as a crime against the universe that she can make money from her spinach brownies
lol bichon,my da is still partial to blood and tongue saussage;) morning everone;)
Hi Cross
spinach brownies - two words I never thought I would see together!!! Hi crossy ((()))
rose
crap
lol
fm! (((())))
I can't eat anything with a gelatinous makeup. Clams, squid, the like turn my tummy
right on, fmi, nature never intended the 2 to get together
morning
crossy loves battered fried calamari with a pritz of lemon and some pepper;)))
spritz*
mmm calamari! mmm food!!!!
Oh real Calamari is great
i have a simpe rule: if it's got more arms than me, it's probably not food
Gort that is not true Lobster is one
or as my father would say, "Don't put that sucker in your mouth!"
mmmm about 10 pounds of king crab legs and a pail of bubbling garlic butter..mmm
how can you not eat lobster or octopus. Baby octupus is the best
drooooool
one R is down
when you have that for a meal,make it easy on yourself and just invite your family doctor over for the meal as well:))]
b is blanked here!
hi everyone
Hi Andree
http://www.stalactites.com.au/ FM have a look at this
herin, you and i oughta go out for dinner together - you eat the bits that wave at us and i'll eat the chocolate bits :)
No chance Gort I would eat the chocolate too only if its fine quality
Hey, this is a 294 word grid? Didn't notcie that when I was on 2 hours ago. ***swills coffee***
lol gortmold,in survival training camp when we were in the bush,you would sometimes get ahold of theese little cray fish-type teeny crabs.you just popped then into your mouth like m+m,s and you could feel then nipping the inside of your cheek on the way down;))
That looks like a great restaurant herin
would you eat the avocado icecream that i have tried to block out from my childhood memories?
FM its brillant. EWWWWWWWWWW Gross Cross.
and all the re's have magically disappeared LorP
GOrt more than likely I have had anchovy tofu icecream before.
more than likely?
FM that restaurant has been around for years. Its the best at 2am
the menu is so good, I would love to eat there
you win herin. your anchovy/tofu beats my avocado
It is really good suprisingly.
FM its a very old Greek traditional place. The baby octopus is so good
yes, i'm happy to accept anecdotal evidence on that one, herin
i hate tofu in any form
common over fm..im doing my famous canadian north woods style breakfasr today....3 brown doubble yolked fresh farm egss done over easy,hash browns from some nice youkon gold taters lightly fried to a goldgen brown in bacon grease,2 or 3 big farmer saussages,a rasher of crispy bacon with hicory and maple infused in it ,a crunchy stack of toast with real butter and to top it off a pitcher of fresh orange juice that been chilling in the fridge;))
yay r's have ben vanquished
I love Tofu. I love Tofutii Icecream
Damn it CROSS I was just thinking that
bacon is going now:)
Oh crossy you are magnificent!!
bring yer own heart meds;)
CROSSSSSSSSSSSIEE you bad bad man
I'll bring the duty free booze
gotta go and do stuf. been a pleasure (sort of) discussing gastronimical incongruities with you. nighty night and cheerio
sold!
*grin*
nighty night gort
Enjoy Gort
http://www.nihonbashizen.com.au/ this was the anchovy icecream place
see ya fmi, herin, cros, all
we have the farm up the road here that is the main supplier to all the markets here for egss,so i just go to the source..things are so fresh sometimes they are often still warm from the chickens backide;))
tc gort
OH Crossy that is wow
damn it now i want to go out for food
$3.50 for 2.5 doz;))
and they are free range?
crossy could eat brekkies all day:)
sadly no herin,they are not
Are they in a cage> or barn?
it is a large holding and id imagine 15,000 free range chickens might be a bit of a problem
How much!!! We have to pay at leat £1.30 for half a doz eggs
nothing as good as a fresh laid egg
morning...does ANYONE twitter?...the stuff coming out re: iran..AMAZING
yup fm;)) if you dont mind washing the poop off yerself that is
just what was on the news was amazing carlee
I would love to see the poop and feathers,
Twit do not use
am on twitter..loads of reports of truck loads of ballot boxes assigned for destruction by burning...and....people are hiding them away
WOW Carlee
sorry carlee crossy does many things,but i do not twit
and the underground "tweating" with proxy IPS
I prefer free range cackle berries
I don't twitter carlee but I remember when Lickety mentioned it as a new and upcoming site about two years ago.
free range eggs have thinner inner membranes and do not boil well,but are great for frying:)
yea... I have lickety on mine...and scarlet's daughter...
WHich is unusual in IRan they have locked out all Mobile phone servies
yack..boiled eggs....
but they have laptops...changing locations..creating new ip's constantly
That is Not true crossy. I buy free range organic not a drama
As i said intresting. I did scream rigged at the tv.
the electorate over there will be twisted and convoluted to what the strongest force of the day deems usefull..thats all
okay im sure its been said already nut why not september its a word isnt it
many legit words are passed over with babble and several that should no be here are;/ go figure
i mean an ethinic varriant of a indian loin cloth..common!
Gah, 9 left and a real mixed bag :(
true crossy i know where you are coming from with silly words but come on its september
oh well end of dinner back to the grind bbl
clue for the be 6/7 please
9 left? you have ben a busy girl fm;))
and now i am done!! Thanks to Liketys list!
yaaa for fm!!! 21 gun salute for you!!
awse thank you crossy!
yay fmitch

I remember going to see Apocalypse Now when it was first released (worked for an ad agency in those days and got free tickets).

good morning all, help with lone E, and lone O, ho** they are not fishworthy
Carlee any more news

oooo ok let me look again
Congrats FM. Hello again

one of a body of magistrates in various ancient Dorian states, esp. at Sparta, where a body of five was elected annually by the people.
don't see any of the i's from the right column
yes a cat. I took her to a cat vet too
she was such a good patient. the doc said she was the best cat she ever treated :-)
im7 peri
Any hints for the bi words? Clearly being really thick!
so the vet was im***** with Zoe then
take the pill,rill it in a bit of her fav treat food and toss it right to the back of her throat,hold her mouth shut and lift her head up and stroke her throat
Hope you can sort out how to give her the pills!
yes, lyn and thanks
easier said than done, crossy. have never been able to do it and she is 13
Lynxx I love the stewart pic
she has eaten them before in food, maybe she is not very hungry now
same again Peri but end with a vowel instead
bi 6/7 not a cafe or a restaurant
thanks mm
cats...easy.... slip the pil in...close their mouth....and blow in face
pop open the mouth by pressing gently at the jaw hinge
the blow in face bother's their whiskers...and they automatically swallow
i used to give my neighbour's cat her meds every day....took 2 of them holding her down and getting it all in..she had pills and gloopy gel stuff and something else.....took me about 20 sec total time start to finish...
be6/7 please
gotta run...with 294 to go...

Hi Ata how is your arm?
hi Mom!
{{Herin}} hello. Congrats on your great marks for school
Hi Lynxxx
oh dear, Ata, what happened to your arm?
Thanks Mom.
it was ok this morning, so I thought I'd go on a 6 mile hike with pup - she realloy needed a good walk. So it hurts again now lol
MM i don't have the Ro 9
oh, I fell down onto barnacle-covered concrete and ripped my elbow to shreds
Oh Atalante, that is nasty
oh my gosh, I am so sorry to hear that.
Hi everyone
{{{Annie}}}
ro9 - begin with Grandma Kennedy, finish with the Arthur Hailey blockbuster
Hi Hazel
oh Ata - you silly duffer - no permanent damage?
good morning Babblers :)
of course, it would be your drawing arm, eh?
Good morning/evening all!
Hi Haz
hi Haz
Hi Nono, Mom
ty Haz that was the 9 i didn't have yet
morning Nono
Hello there! I'm late reporting for duty.
Haz thanks but huh? I will have to look that up
hi Nono
of course. typical! no, no permanent damage. just a lot of annoyingness!
hi haz
Grandma Kennedy was named after a flower, the book was a best-seller years ago. I'm showing my age.
my age must show as well as i got that clue right off
Hello Andree!
OH thank you
I hope it is better soon, Ata
No problem, herin.
Looking up the end bit which i don't mind
Infernal the middle bit of wombats do
me too!!
No problems
I have it
read lots of haileys stuff,cars,hotel,the final diagnosis,airport..have yet to read ro***
oh be sure to read it Crossy
then if you can find it. watch the mini sieries they made of it
I seem to have missed the obvious words
oh 6 more R words
Dr Who, Apparitions and now Dollhouse - Tuesday nights are good TV here
On stupid foxtel which you have to pay for (not that i am bitter much)
am often dissapointed in the t.v versions of good books.sh-gun fir example was an a mazing book..the movie was tepid
sho-gun*
I can't comment on the ro5 mini-series, but the extracts of the book which I've read help to put a human face on the abomination of slavery.
Meaning that you understand that these were real people transported in ghastly conditions to a different world. It was horrible.
hi all
Hello Boo
haz,we have a black museum here and a actual portion of the underground railway and a faily of an original escapee who set up the museum etc..we do not forget
hi Boo
good morning Boobear
Hi boo
family
good morning boo
we too have an Underground Railroad Museum in Cincinnati Ohio
No, cross, and we should never forget. I visited Zanzibar ast year - the centre for a lot of slave trading and it was very moving to see various exhibits.
Haz - did you see the Ainsley Harriet 'Who Do You Think You Are' - very moving
quite interesting really,the matriarch(sp) of that family just passed at 103
saw a moving act/play done by one woman on Harriet Tubman (sp
I didn't see the whole programme, lynxx. That's a great series, but it does make you imagine that finding out stuff is easy. It's not!
they used to hide inside of church pews made in the states..sometimes the were in there for 3 days
How far back are you now Haz?
there are houses still standing along the Ohio River on the KY side where slaves would be hidden until they can safely pass over the river
I've been fascinated with the continuing discoveries in this 1911 census. The Ballymena Workhouse and Lunatic Asylum was just up the road from here and you can see the records for the inmates - initials only in use.
Is there more than one Re 8 please?
no just one herin
there is a house near me that was part of the underground system too Mom. It has been restored but alas not used as a museum
Thanks
lynxx, my problem with the family tree is that it's spreading out so wide. I'll have to discipline myself to concentrate on one branch at a time.
oh Nono that is not good
the houses here are privately owned but the museum on the Ohio side is a recent addition to the Cincinnati skyline
I know Herin, it is an important part of history and should be shared
bye all , bedtime for me
pleasant dreams Andree
Good night Andree.
nite nite Andree
I know here that private houses do public screenings. Night Andree
I should scoot off here as well, much to do. Have fun today. {{Hugs}}
bye Andree
haz we have(had) a institution for the medically insane that was in huse till the 60,s our crew had the chore of demolishing it.in the basement i had the chore of taking apart the "punishment showers" concrete stalls with a nossle in each corner that pointed to the centre of the stall and all was attached to a big steam?water valve..with a pressure gague that went up to 250 psi:((

Mercy. Can you imagine?
bye bye Zoozzoom
Bye Andree & Mom
My Parents are part of teams that restored the insane asylyum and turnedd it into community stuff. Gives me the wiggens just being near it. I don't know how you could be in there Cross

This asylum was operating until the late 80's and was residence for those so insane that they got sent there from Port Arthur.

Is it the placing of a wager, zooz?
Sorry, the other way round. Same letters.
you are kidding me..i should be ashamed of myself..for not seeing that..thank you (very red faced)
It's this game, zooz. It makes us all feel like fools.

Hello EvaN!

hi evan
I hate it when a random selection of letters makes a real word. Good clues, now that I've got it! Thanks!
how are we all this morning?
Glad you've got it, Ian.
We're well, EvaN. How is Chris bearing up after Newcastle being relegated?
well, technically, I guess any word is a random selection of letters at some point
good morning everyone
Good morning flosey

Hi flosey!

Hope springs eternal...

And all those huge men in football jerseys, weeping into their cans.

Good morning, everyone.
You're welcome, lynxxx.

Good morning, Merk.

hi Merk
Why is Dr Who wearing 3D specs? Does he not see the world from another dimension already?
told you!
Must get to bed. Thanks for the laugh, night
lynnate, have you ever used morewords? I think it's very useful.
Night lynxxx.
sweet dreams, lynxxxie
his name isn't Dr Who
be well, lyn
*picky*
So, it's David Tennant with the specs. I stand corrected. Why is he wearing them?
hmmmm
Or just "The Doctor"
bi plus the title most men use, change one vowel
lol is it from Dr Who. but the Doctor is called the Doctor. Not Dr Who :D
and I can't remember why!
Oooooh. I've just proved that I'm rubbish at 'The Doctor' references.
no clue\
now you know though :) good to learn something every day :P
Try morewords, Lynn. Type in bi then 6 blanks, a list will come up and that bi8 word is among them.
morewords suggestions don't seem to register
are there any 10 plus words?
no buckeye
No, 2 9 letter words are the biggest.
I must be gone...bye dear babblers
Bye Annie, nice to see you.
Always grand to see you, Haz
*poof*
You say the nicest things! Bye!
how's La Spanglettina today?
She's sporting white paint on her nose. She doesn't know the difference between observing from a distance and getting too close to the painting action.
oh dear!!
can somebody please help me with one of the 9 letter words
observing from a distance is no fun
Apparently not.
be8 is a compound word
Good grief, there are two p tiles ... Merk slapping forehead!
buckyeye, both are compound words starting with be and ro
be9 is the plural
what was being painted?
careful Merk don't hurt yourself
buckeyeman - if you know the vegetable that's used to make borscht, then make it plural. Use google if you don't know what borscht is.
morning babbler's
The outside of the house, Ata.
oh yes *facepalm* I do listen to you, honestly!
ts6?
Needless to say, I'm not doing the painting. (a) I'm rubbish at painting (b) ladders aren't my forte.
ts6 - t plus plural hurting thing
bladders aren't your forte?

Indeed. People have always talked about how useless I am with bladders.

Thought I was all alone for a mo there
yep! sorry, I had a sudden urge for cookies and had to "make" some
Most people just open a packet....
pt
I did :) But I did add some water. Does that count as proper cooking?
sorry
More proper than any cooking I ever do lol
I thought so. It was very difficult. LOL
so what's the wasp doing???
Oh it was very funny but you had to be there lol. A friend of mine is a dj on Island Fm and he was trying to catch a wasp in his studio whilst he was live on air. I had the webcam on and it was just funny!
looooool
He was chasing it with a bit of paper trying to flap it out the window and all the other staff got up and left and locked him in (I'm sorry, small things amuse me lol)
loooool poor guy! thats amusing
If you read your fb status please don't hit me *runs for cover*
*goes to look*!
need clue for last pr 7/36
Hi Atalante and Liz and flosey et al. Nice to see cookies being baked. I made doughnuts last evening. If it ever warms up I shall make light meringues or something.
*HORROR*!
hi stidgmere!
*giggles*
hello stidgmere
blasphemer!
Are you using 3-d glasses in your picture Atalante?
I admit it. I blasphemed! and I meant it lol
that's not me :)
hi there stidgmere, had just stepped away for a bit
go forth and tell your lovely outgoing methodist preacher all about it and ask his forgiveness
I'm on a little earlier than usual and it is nice to see you flosey. How does the garden flourish?
The mad island preacher who likes dogs lol. He won't speak to me now I have set up my own church.
of stidgmere, he's making it bigger than ever!!
I love fresh home-made donuts
haven't made them in years - since the kids were young
he is quite mad. and strange
hi, all. quite a grid, today.
BIGGER, oh my. I hope you have lots of jars for canning and freezers and so forth. What a nice thing to have a bounty in the offing.
he lives on Sark - what can you expect?
You are all very domesticated! I hate cooking!
what's his wife like? have you met her?
Stidmama wanted raised doughnuts for her birthday which sent me off to buy a deep fat fryer. Then, I tried another recipe, and another....
we got told on the boat all about how she lives on the mainland etc etc
have loved cooking and baking since I was very young
Never seen her, no. Maybe she's pretend!
hmmm phantom wife?
oooo maybe! apparently she comes to Sark every 2 months or so
could be flosey
I dunno Ata. I mean, I'm here all the time and I have never seen her but then I have met his son....
As I look at the stories in the geneology logs, I find some of my great grandmothers created friendships with native americans by baking goodies for them. At least once, the family was not attacked because of these friendships. Hence, there got to be descendents. For us baking is a way to salavation.
how odd
darn I thought for once I found a 9 all by myself but it turns out september isn't in the dictionary :-(
I think I am going to go pout on the subway into work
Which part is odd? phantom wife? actual son?
awwwww
wife thing
what a wonderful history to have stidg...
but the word for seven is on the grid.
I was amazed to read the story on the internet because it was not part of the lore my grandfather passed to us.
aww Hobbit's just woken up after her looong post-walk sleep
Aw give her a big cuddle from me and Sam x

hi littlebit
hi phaeton!
ooh, thanks i just noticed there are a TON of' 8's
hello Happy Littlebit
what about the ri8? compound word?
hi boobear!
I love your smilee. it brightens myd ay
not sure, don't have that one yet.
thanks!
ri8 - not a compound word. Looks a bit like a jaunty way of saying a poet? (taking liberties with spelling)
Build on the ri4/5 that starts the sequence.
thanks so much Haz, great clue
You're welcome, peri.
Haz, have you heard of pill pockets for cats?
No, can't say that I have.
I gather you're having trouble with Zoe-Ann?
it is an easier way to give pills, also made for dogs. just found out about them. lots of sites on the web
yes, she has a UTI and was given antibiotics yesterdat
I have never been able to get a pill into her. in the past she ate it if I ground it up and put it in wet food but not today :(
*yesterday*
help with 8's pls
I noticed you getting advice earlier on from cat owners. I'm not much help at all, I'm afraid. I hope you get her persuaded into taking the medicine, it sounds as though she needs it!
Which 8s do you already have?
have be, ri, ro
she does and I need her to take them. I am tired of stepping into cat pee with my bare feet
If you have the ri8, then swap the first letter for a b for bi8
I will ask the vet when she calls with the test results
pr8 - what the careful laundrywoman does with coloured and white clothes.
thanks Haz, never heard of that bi8
pill pockets *usually* work
Nor had I, peri.
thanks, just found out about them today, usually??
but Ata knew about them
depends how clever your cat is, I think
thanks for pr8 Haz
can't wait to get the move over with, have Zoe-Anne all better. hopefully the two cats will tolerate each other
Also pr8/45 - begin like the pr7/32 before it, but don't end with 'not out' but with the last letters of the feature on your face you use for perching glasses.
Moving is stressful for everyone, peri.
is there more than one pr8/45?
my cat plays a game called "eat around the pill" twice a day
pls don't tell me that harp
I will at least give it a try, need to buy some
Yes, peri. The first one uses 'before' prefix, the second one 'for' prefix.
the best way to get her to eat it is to put it in hamburger and then offer it to the OTHER cat...
couldnt she get a long-release antibio injection?
ro 56/10 # 1?
I only have one cat at the moment and I don't eat hamburger
will ask the doc re long release antibiotic
Or try, p plus a method of learning which involves rhyming (like multiplication tables) plus last three letters of a flower (it's in the grid)
well, that doesn't mean your CAT won't eat it1
whats zoe-ann's favourite favourite food
i think you can get liquid antibiotics too
I would buy some hamburger if I thought it would work, raw or cooked? I have never given her any beef. what about ground chicken or turkey
Best stick with chicken or turkey if she's not used to beef - you don't want diarrhoea to add to your woes.
anyone have the first ro 5? I am lost on it
ro5/10 - what a bird does, but end with a vowel rather than a consonant
if doing the liquid would still need to get it into her mouth, not sure I could do that
thanks for all the advice
Or, add a vowel to the shortened Aussie jumpers.
you just get a pipette, and squirt it past her gag reflex. is easier
she likes Friskies prime fillets in chicken or turkey but that did not work this am
I would still need to get her to stay still and open her mouth, Ata. had one of those but threw it away
Very provoking, peri.
besides issues with my cat I am waiting for a company to call back and tell me when they can pick up furniture I am donating. no luck in selling them :(
haz -- was thinking of you yesterday morning when walking into work. 2 ladies were outside walking their furry ones -- both cockers, one black and one tan. :)
several companies I called said they are no longer picking up or gave me pick up dates in mid-July
clue for either of the im7's?
clue for ri8 please
awwww cockers :)
bbl
im 7 -- add, *****nts are placed under the christmas tr 4
looked so lovely + so well-behaved. :)
ty BR
Sorry, was talking to the painter - back again. Cockers are lovely.
they are occasionally!
im 7 -- at roll call the dude said, "****en*" rather than here
ri8 - builds on the ri4/5 - looks like a poorly spelled poet?
whoa, just monkeyed that - thanks haz
Well done, josh!
also you can remove the first letter of a unit of pregnant time for the ri8
ty haz
You're welcome, wildcat.
Back shortly...
Fireworks!
woohoo merk!!
yay, Merk!!!
congrats merk!
TY ... It feels like midday ... I've been at this so long. Do you see the smudges on my nose from having it buried in the grid for so long?
See you tomorrow!
sigh, going to list, don't have the patience to do it the hard way today...
hi all
hi nrkii!
hiya, nrkii!
the 4th and 5th columns are giving me fits today
it's all giving me fits
my first shock at listing was 15 ST words, of which I only had 3! - yet they're not really hard, just wasn't seeing them!
I'm just upset I can't get the E words... I have 3 out of 6
I have er4, er5 and es5
one tricky one is ep5, ep + 1st 3 letters of the large saddle animal (for the lone lower E)
thanks!
found em5 too
just missing one more e
ooooh
em4
no more E
ahh, ty for the em4 and er5, my E's are grey now, too!
still, 43 left... I think I need to go to list if I have any shot of getting on the road early today
thanks for the ep5 rbud, now i'm finished with my e's too
yw :)
i'm down to 39 with no list yet ...
very nice, wildcat!
go wild!!
it's been a tedious process tho
ty :)
I greyed out the top R!!!
any clues for the or5/12, please?
wtg wild!!
nice work! I'm fighting the R's myself right now, not easy, even with the list...
ty
or + safety ***
many thanks, wildcat17-it was driving me crazy!
yw I know that feeling well
just 8 T's to go
fireworks!
congrats nrkii!
woohoo nrkii!!
you got 8 t's in 2 minutes??!
bye all - happy babbling... have to get on road for 4-hour drive to parents
tc and be careful
with list, wild, yep
with list, wild, yep
bye!
(poof)
darn RE words! 27 of them!
hi rbud. I agree; I entered a lot of (what I thought were) re words; it only took 3!
finished R words - all 62 of them
I need a nap
yay, wild! (now staring bleary-eyed at the list of 28 PR words, sigh!)
what I really want is the last I from the bottom one
I have all 4, what do you have?
I have ib4, in5/6
i don't have any
ah, another in5, change the 2nd to last consonant for a word meaning not skilled/talented
ah yes that would be it ty
guess I should look for those 8 p's I'm missing
7 of which appear to be pr
what's the lone E above that i ?
ep5
thanks.
yw
I've found 77 words in 30 minutes. I haven't attempted to find any certain letters yet
eport
Ooops. Sorry
what are the 9's?
bi and ro
unexpected! thanks, will look.
yw
it will make sense once you find them
is the bi a prefix?
yes
be, not bi
They're sibling compound words
There's a bi8, but it doesn't lead to a 9
siblings to each other, or they have to do with siblings?
oops sorry was looking in the wrong place
I'll be quiet now
to each other
same last name, as it were
thanks, yay, got them!
now for this bi8.
the bi8 is just like an ri8, but I'd never heard of it before
is that a prefix? two-something i mean?
*notes that she must also look for an ri8*
yep. 2 school seasons, perhaps
aha
ri8 is archaic poet
and that leaves me with just one 8 missing
time for list, methinks.
surprised lickety's still getting them up, considering.
Yeah. It's a noble effort.
considering what, hursh?
his dad is not well.
oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that. When I come here I pretty much hide the chat so I stay out of trouble here.
clue for center O please
rootbeer?
sounds yummy but not in grid
center o = a willow
ty
rootbeer is definitely in the grid, just not in the dictionary!
yes in the grid, but doesn't count. Must be two words, i guess.
Or else just Enable is stupid.
Enable must be stupid when it comes to rootbeer
and numerous other things...
especially medical terms
and non-medical terms. lol
le fin. et adieu.
Congrats, hurshy! WTG!!!!!
whoo hoo hurshy
i was so excited this morning because I thought I found the 9 all by myself but it turned out september is not in the dictionary :-(
that was one of the first words i tried too, jmcnrick
i figured several people tried it since it was so easy for me to find! lol
hi jmc, joshua.

Oops

hi ata
Good afternoon, everyone!
toots
ack
hi tak
ignominious start for me. sorry about that
too bad I already have that one! LOL
heh, yeah, at least it was one of the more obvious words in the grid.
back again - your ig word would be a nice one to find in a grid Takuma! or even ignominiousness - nice one
hi flosey
Hi Pini
hi Pini
54 left to find
hiya flosey. getting 'ignominious' in a grid would make my week, I think
you're doing great, flosey!!! 180 more to go here...
71 here
* gasp * WHAT? ROOTBEER is NOT in the dictionary? Since when????
everyone's been complaining about that Pini
oh, sorry...
cos it's disgusting!!
hey, no prob.
I just saw it and thought I was doing good!
just commenting
I actually like the stuff (depending on who makes it)...some is downright gross!
(no worries, flosey!) * smile *
smiles back
Got my last O! goodmorning all
morning lyn
hi lynxxx
hi Lynxxx
hi lyn
hi boo
clue for tr7/32 please
Hi all
hi there jilli
hi jilli
tr7 ends with a evergreen
thx flosey! :)
yw pini
always glad when I can help
phantom: tsetse (too bad it's not the ts6)
t + (hurts)
ty for the tr7, flosey!
danke
yw jilli
and the ts6 :)
I wanted tsetse too
I automatically typed it
the fly, that is
lol!
flosey -- who was the other pair last night that got into the mess?
the number will do
unfortunately, the girls
um, which girls?
they're so much fun!
always a giggle
does that tell you?
what happened?
a mix-up at duplicate bridge last night Pini
Oh, I can just imagine! ;)
just a bridge scoring muddle, pini
* picturing ladies playing bridge *
oh, not just ladies
lots of men too
even more fun then!
I place more blame on 2 gents who KNOW better
flosey -- I posted a question about the girls I thought it would be but it vanished -- V and R?
evening all, back for the last ones
yes jilli
hi sprite :)
hi sprite
that's a shame, flosey
don't usually see you in at this time sprite
hi Sprite
yes it was, V apparently made a comment but the guys brushed it off and so they played the boards
lovely chandelier, sprite!
no, busy day today and not a really small grid. So a quick few more before bed :)
those guys think they are so superior to everyone else
thanks jilli :)
interesting chandelier sprite, unusual
indeed jilli - can be (not just a bit) annoying at times
ok, back to work for me...cy'all l8r!! have a good one! * poof *
bfn Pini
bye Pini
bye Pini
P gave us a patronising lecture about how tournament players do what J does -- get up and leave when play is over. BS.
bye pini
flosey and jilli, nice to see your classical chandelier next to your very modern one!
BS indeed - we've played tournament br for many years and I have yet to see that happen
same here, flosey
many contrasts here, eh sprite?
indeed!
sprite, my chandelier would take up a whole room, I think!
and what's wrong with prosit - it's in my dictionary
Oxford
flosey, it cannot be made today
it's a phantom
well, da**
*giggles*
lol
I think so too, jilli, it is HUGE! But original.
ruru said he has a piece made by Chihuly -- not this one, though, lol!
and to add insult to injury, the big P is in the grid today
hehehe, no. But how nice that he has one.
oh yes, I see, flosey! LOL!
and plural, count our blessings!
more than one of him, actually, although he's big enough to be plural.
I see a vulcan greeting, 'live long and p7', and a funny bird! Lovely grid today.
hi jilli
hi boobear
remember that song, by her/himself is a crowd!
crossy carefully peeks around at the hen party...
lol, hi there crossy
*waves kindly at the rooster*
hi crossy
howdy ladies;)
hi Cross
PB 4 sprite!
sprite said a word!
oh Sprite!
ohhhhh I apologies! Didn't have it. Do now.
as do i:))
jeezzz *very red cheeks*
I thought that was the funny bird, sprite -- guess I don't have THAT
LOL! I'm just here for a second; and am now off to my aunts' for a visit but it's nice to see others in the PB with me! :-D
Good evening everyone. Late but thought I would have a go.
my funny bird is only 4 letters, jilli
lol I like the company, Nef
hi elder
it is worth it today, elder, a very very nice grid
howdy elder
Bye Nef. Hi Elder
hi elder
Sprite...Lynxxx, Cross and so many familiar faces.
It's good to be on at this time of day -- rare for me
Bye Now! <Poof>
bye Nef!
very good crowd, jilli :)
bye nef!
Sprite, look good but sadly, I do not have too many hours to sit here.
just do a part! If you can, that is.
it's been a fun grid - made more fun by the company
Hi everybody
rare for me as well,have a ctual day off;))
did you find the funny bird, jilli?
hi there Soodle
hello soodle
hi Soodle
hi Soodle
not yet, sprite -- what's the first letter?
first letter is an i
Oh yes -- I had that -- thanks anyway, sprite
ah yes, have it
maybe it is just me that thinks it is a funny bird
I think it's pretty
not as funny as a puffin
hehehe true
diving in....... splash ! sorry if anyone was soaked. Diving never was one of best activities.
lol jilli - we called one of our br. clubs No Puffin
lol elder
if I had a puffin I would call it Billy (you have to be an olod Brit to get that, I think)
*old
neither old nor Brit... deprivation!
Jilli - We have a local attraction up in the hills in Melbourne called Puffing Billy. small engine, beloved by many generations of children
wow, found a pr7 by mistyping a 6. Now that is nice.
One of the first steam engine trains in England was called Puffing Billy
wtg sprite
ah! That would be a great inside joke, jilli!
always wanted to visit the place that caries my name;)
maybe I just got that too, from you, sprite
brb store run semi-poof
I'd like that, jilli!
lynxxx -- probably named after the original
your icon animal is a grid word, crossy
I really need lunch but hate to leave here
I'm sure you are right Jilli. Just tried to find out how old it is - at least 100 years - runs thru some of Victorias loveliest hills
same for me, jilli, only it is bed and not lunch. Fireflies. Sleep well, or enjoy your lunch, or have a good time whenever all of you. Thanks for your company.
maybe it IS the original!
goodnight Sprite, sleep tight
goodnight Sprite, sweet dreams
Night sprite :)
google Puffing Billy -- the original was built in 1813-4
I'm off for lunch, bbs
nearly missed you going Sprite, Sleep well *hugs*
and bye flosey.
and I'm going for lunch too -- back later -- it's been fun
Bye Jilli - enjoy.
bye Jilli

hello Ata.
my day is going from bad to worse, now my checking acct is overdrawn by $17.15, two transactions caused this to happen and the bank is charging me $35 per transaction!! The woman I spoke with told me to call back on Mon and ask that the charges be waived since I have never overdrawn anything with them
Ata, I bought the pill pockets., They are much less on line but I needed them now
poor peri!
I put one in her food but she just ate a little of the food on top :(
May I have a hug please
I am feeling pretty sorry for myself at the moment.
Banks, a world outside of most things.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}
Also I called 6 charities re donating furniture.
don't you hate Banks
thanks so much I really needed those hugs
thanks so much I really needed those hugs
our banks have got in real trouble for overcharging like that, they are being taken to court
poor you peri.. * hugs* and take care.
hello Katie ad Zooz.
some no longer pick up furniture, 2 others could not come til mid July. one did not want what I had. The last one said yes they would take alll of it and would come on June 29.
hopefully they will waive the fees since it is the first time it has ever happened
hopefully they will waive the fees since it is the first time it has ever happened
hello elder :-)
the vet cost me $300+ yesterday
oh Peri! suggest that you start this week again
ouch..thats alot of money
ok, can I have a do over?
they are doing another test at no extra charge to me, which is nice
I went overdrawn for the first time every last December when the bounced my life insurance policy! caused a lot of stress but they didn't charge me after I pointed out it was the first time in 15 years it had happened

hi again, had a power failure, just came back on!
no idea what caused it
Hi flosey -- had a very brief one here too. Can't imagine why.
its all the power you are drawing down with those chandeliers! lol
ah, strange, actually I had fallen asleep reading the paper after lunch, the spike when it came back on woke me
none over my way though... back to lurk! Hello Flosey and Jilli!
the only power cut here is in my brain as I still can't see the 8/45s
lol jmc - mine wouldn't even fit into my house!
any clues for the 2 pr8/45s please?
neithr would mine!
hi saan and ian

who are you asking jmc?
Ian?
Still here...
Ian do you do laundry ever?

Trying to think of a pr word related to laundry!
I don't even understand why that would relate to your name flosey!
clues for the im7s please
i can't think of one either ian
lol jmc, it is my name
the only P laundry words I can think of aren't in the grid
well before you put the laundry in the washing machine you put it in different piles of you pr8

congrats kazz, sorry was in the garden
ian there are 4

ah perhaps that's what I'm remembering Ian,
checking the sky, I like to see how light it is so late, I know very sad!
though i finished this grid was quite difficult towards the end
i like doing that as well - specially if there is a chance of seeing the meteorites or the northern lights
61 left. Can I list yet? Yes, I think I can
half past bedtime here and still 177 to go...I think I'm doomed to failure!
hubby is really good at looking up when the space station will pass, it's really good to see the shuttle catching the space station
must be off - need to make sandwiches for work tomorrow and stuff like that Can you see the shuttle get the space station?
pr7.36 cheats never pr*****
never been that lucky but you can see the station go past and then a faster light catching it
bye Kazz...and belated congrats
lyn, saw that clue and still don't get it
Peri - means to get richer or better off
ooh must look up the times and see if they match up with the dark here. i am hoping for rain tomorrow though or otherwise i will have to water the allotment and that is hard work
wait, lyn, is that the last pr7/36?
99 left
I have it thanks, kazz and lyn
probably Peri - I am still missing a 7
bbs
peri yes it is - ist pr 7/36 take pr 4/5 and 3 letters that sounds like tea (not spelt that way though)

dorens, your keyboard is very healthy
apparently I've missed something ...
well it had a good workout anyway
i honestly don't know... i wasn't home, honestly, and my cats don't hang out on keyboards, so it is all odd. When I returned, I found I couldn't enter any words, either... turned off the bad boy for a day or two.. it seems allright now
Dorens keyboard was possessed the other day and monopolised the chat for over an hour
really
wildcat, for over an hour on sunday there was very little other than blanks from my computer... i was a good troll, yes?
that is strange dorens...creepy

oh ok kaz. its past midnite 4 me!
thanks for that 8, josh.... Thought it would have an a for the last vowel, but that's an enzyme.... and, there are no a's today!
pam I have a question for you
it's not an easy one to clue, really
OK, shoot, peri.
¥ .. ¸.•*´¯`*•Fireworks¥ .. ¸.•*´¯`*•
Yay, zoo!
ok, what is the name of an organization of parents who have gay or lesbian children. A friend of mine is having a difficult time accepting the fact that her daughter might be a lesbian
good one Zooz! Well done.
YAY ZOOM!!
PFLAG, peri. Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays
At least, I think that's what the initials stand for
yes that is the one. I couldn't remember the name
they have a great bumper sticker--Straight but not Narrow
I am sorry for your friend. If her daughter is happy, that is what is important...
Many thanks Babble friends..better trot of to bed now..hope to see you tommorow
we are good friends but do not see eye to eye re homosexuality or abortion
she does want her to be happy but is really angry, upset etc. and I think it would help to talk with other parents, espec Christian ones
That's hard, peri
tc zooz, goodnite.
I would be more accepting but that is me
Is there a support group in her church, or is her church homophobic?
thanks for the information, pam, I will pass it along to her
Well, I sense you feel to each their own, peri. And, in a just world, that would be the case
Sure, peri
not sure, she has information given to her by the church but I have not seen/read it
I just wish people would understand that they have no reason to be threatened.
she is open to reading other material as well. any books to recommend, pam?
What is her fear for her daughter? Usually, I say to godfearing folk that if we are all made in god's image, then god has no problems so why should you. Only I say it nicer.
I will have to think about that, peri
she is totally against gay/lesbian marriage
Honestly, I think people are often thinking more of themselves and how things look to their church, their friends and of course they worry that they did something as a parent to create the situation....
Yeah, well her daughter
that she will not be able to marry/have children, etc
yes, that is true, red
s being a lesbian has nothing to do with marriage
She can adopt children, get inseminated. And, maybe she doesn't want kids
I agree, red
I did not argue with her, just listened
Seems to me this society needs to separate religious from civil marriage
she is very unhappy with the possiblity of insemination
I am not arguing, peri, and I know, you were being her friend, which she needs at this time
it was hard to listen to her
I know you are not arguing, pam.
It sounds like she wants her daughter to follow the path she took. It will take some adjusting for her....
Oh, good peri! I know I can be strident...
not at all, pam, appreciate you input
she does pam, I did tell her that being g/l is not something that a person chooses. it is what they are
*meant who they are*
And, the same is true for bisexuals, which a LOT of people don't get, LOL, but it's true. Sexuality is a spectrum....
My brother has never given my lifestyle a moment's thought other than asking me if I was being careful--the same questions I asked him. Now, he has two daughters. The eldest, all of 10, has told him she will marry a woman and settle down.
was your brother ok with that
Now, who knows what she is saying as she has given no indication of hormones taking off yet. I asked my brother what he said. He told her that that was great, just find the right one.
good for him, wish my friend was more like him
now must look for more words, have 95 left to find
My brother figures straight/gay/bi is a label. He wants his kids to be happy, honest, self-sufficient, etsc.
Thanks, peri.
oh peri, i have 141!
no, thank you, pam!
sorry red
I have 219
you know peri, not to butt in
Any time, peri. You know that! ((((peri))))
but if her daughter has kids someday, she is gonna want a relationship with those grandkids, regardless of how she feels about the lifestyle
thanks really needed those hugs, this was not my best day, and it has nothing to do with my friend.
so she should be careful about what she says right now
Good point, fnurt!!!
movng, cat not taking meds, checking acct overdrawn
(((PERI))))
When is the big moving day?
Sorry about the cat
aw, thanks pam, you are a dear
sorry peri (((hugs)))
i think she just ate the pill I had placed in a pill pocket
6/20. for the boxes and smaller furniture. the larger stuff I am giving to a thrift store.
oh man...totally off topic, but I need to go running in 10 minutes and there is this horrid thunder and gray cloud just sitting there. wet is not fun.
I called goodwill, st vincent depaul, salvation army and several other places and no luck
Sounds like a tough move
Oh, no, red. Not again
Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Congrgatonalists, Lutherans, Mennonites etc etc etc are all Christian. How come one fundamentalist group has usurped the word as if they were the only Christians?
finally called this thrift store which I have been in and they said they would take what I had
They have gotten picky, peri...
they will pick up on 6/29
Hi, Jilli!!!!!!!
hi jilli
Hi all -- just finished thanks to morewords but must dash -- back to clue later.
I need to run, and at least it wont be hot yes? Oh and if anyone was one during my stinky clothing discussion?
thanks for the hugs, wildcat, really appreciated getting them
ciao, jilli
they should not be so picky, this is not crap stuff
I found that arm and hammer detergent really works!
i agree with you jillli... i was raised to believe that there were many types of christians and find it abhorrent for one group to claim the word as their own, particularly if they are intolerant of others
yw peri
hi all
I am sure it's not, peri. I experienced it at work. I do not understand it...
it was chilly and overcast today. how was the weather where you are pam
Excellent, red!!!!
it is worse than you think guys
Hello there, Dorens, glad to see that you are alive and well. you really had me worried the other day
same, peri. Then the sun broke through
Yes, jmc... just read SPLC's site on a regular basis... ACK
oh thanks peri... i didn't really understand until i got home and checked the log... wow! thanks for checking up on m e
you mean the grid, jmc?
I sign up for an internet match thing and said I was a christian/quaker and they only matched me with born again christians
anytime Dorens, what happened
isn't that ridiculous, jm?
meant: what happened?
UGH, jmc... that stinks!
Oh, I see now, jmc
the grid is bad too LOL
Peri, to be honest, it sounds like your friend is really wrestling with her daughter, rather than just giving her a knee jerk reaction...
red, I use 7th generation detergent, on sale it's a great buy. It doesn't make me itch and it cleans...
SPLC?
honestly peri i have no idea. I was an hour and a half away when it started and can't iimagine my cats doing that. I think it was some strange computer malfunction that makes no sense... no one was here, even tho it was on. i suppose a cat could have jumped on it, but to go on like that?
Southern Poverty Law Center
well, must go -- back later -- ttfn and happy babbling
splc. souther poverty law center
ok
Have fun, jilli
read mine read mine www.centeronconscience.org!
bye jill
bye jilli
I have to be honest Pam, I had some clothing that was not getting clean with any options, so I am going to have to stick with the arm and hammer....all the sweat....
it was a really long time. I knew that Owl had met you and was hopeful that she had your phone number and she did. I like happy endings :-)
I go to SPLC when I "forget" that hate is on the rise.... Or want to research something
it was over an hour -- dorens, there was MUCH speculation in the chog! LOL
That's great, red... I used arm and hammer but this past spring, with the really bad allergy season, I started itching all over.... now, I am not...
byeJilli! i will see you later!
Dorens, I still want to get to Sanibel Island
i really still don't understand it, une
hi, une!
so the baking powder worked for your stinky togs red?
ok peri. first we have to wait for ken to buy a place... then we find a time it's empty and you find a time to get down there
:-D
hey, pam :-)
I was hoping that it would later this summer Dorens
wow, look at that chandelier Une has.... makes me want to have a chandelier
once he finds a place, I will find the time to get there
what were we discussing . . . hate in general or specifically the PBS doc "Don't Ask" that's airing tonite?
looks like I am going to have to read the archives to understand this conversation
well peri so far he hasn't bought anything, since the housing market hasn't dropped on the island the way it has on the mainland. but we'll work something out
ok, pls,. keep me poste, Dorens
me too, jmc! LOL
what is t hat une? i've had no time for tv lately, with big grids, book clubs, end of year school activities and ken
I just found out that mrp cancelled her trip to the US:(
*posted* even
i suppose i could google don't ask
I can't watch that, une. I would scream. NPR had some people on about don't ask don't tell and I was imploding
it's a documentary re the don't ask, don't tell policy
what? oh no, that is such a shame.
When is it on , une? I didn't see it on my listings....
yes I heard that yesterday due to the family health issues
tonite
ohhhhhhh don't ask, don't tell... i'm sure it will be depressing
Don't Ask, Don't Tell? I can't watch TV, no cable, no box at the moment
jm what are the family health issues?
yes, jmc
i listened to NPR about it today as well, pam . . . and yes, totally infuriating and tragic
I live with people in the military calling me daily so I think I will skip watching it
what is the show about?
I can't find it on my listings, just as well
lickety's father has agressive prostate cancer (some one will correct me if I don't have it quite right)
oh sorry to hear that...
Too bad dcs isn't on chog... the Arabists, linguists, interpreters, intelligence folk who were drummed out of the service are SO missed right now
okay if someone would help me with a couple of O words I could get nbt and not feel totally guilty about going to the list
or + safety ***
add a vowel, then plural
the willow tree
thanks, dor
how about the o on the right of the line of Os? is that the willow tree?
o + christmas tree (and plural)
chooses
ok, it's part of the Independent Lens series: "Ask Not" explores the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy that was implemented in 1993, which has resulted in some 12,500 gays and lesbians being discharged in the years since.
yes jm it is
maybe i'll tune in thanks une
yw :-)
o + writing implement op4
gays were discharged from the military long before DADT and in much uglier ways
Thanks, une. I will look up when the lens series is on
then op7 drop the last letter and add a flower
here it's on at 9:00pm
That they were, jmc, that they were
that is pathetic I didn't get that last O on my own
anagram of the black stuff in the fireplace oo 4/4

I wanted a do over for today, but will settle for a better day tomorrow
ooooh that is a hot car
huh. se4/5 + em5/16 = 9th month

my rankings went thru the basement the other day when Comcast crashed for nearly 8 hours!
hey Pini, no time no see
grrrrr
peri!
I'm sure mine did, too, Une, but for different reasons (i.e., I missed a few days!)
hello babble friends. How can pe4 be an enable accepted word, but not po4?
hey, trif!
Une, my rankings have been going down and I never understood why - I thought it was some kind of glitch with babble
thx Une got that one
hi trif
I have not missed at all
howdy friends
Comcast just irritates me . . . A LOT!
uh oh...Comcast, eh? that's what I use
they have NO competition here so they can charge an arm and a leg . . . and still not give great service
yes, I think that is all we have too, comcast.
here either, Une... *sigh*
down to 51 left, yay me!
182
uh oh. I thought I was NBT, but now see I am missing the e under the center t - any hints please?

hi kje!
thank you jmc! NBT now!
be + frost
Hey Une - I lost Comcast too. I thought it was local but I guess the whole sebang went kapooey huh?
*curtsy*
speaking of frost, did anyone see the video of the hailstorm in NJ yesterday? 7 inches of hail fell, people were shoveling it with snow shovels -
FIOS is throug Verizon. not available everywhere
COMCAST caused my horror show of a day at work today... So , was it system-wide?
hey, owl! I have a friend who was in Memphis this weekend visiting her grandkids -- did you have a big power outage too? She said they were out for 24 hours!
Wasn't today, was fri
just google hail in NJ (washington township) - it's truly weird
that was wild, jbv
frost?
No power out here - just Comcast
HI, KJE
we had tornado warnings this afternoon but ended up ok
hey, kje
I am so frustrated--headache coming back....
hi all
and 24 hrs was good! still almost 20,000 out
old word for frost - sounds like words that have the same ending sound
we did too.
weirds me out when it gets so dark mid-afternoon that the outside lites come on!
congrats all finishers
must have been sweltering, hootowl . . . ugh
yup! regular thing here
ah, TY
still 87
it's 75F here today... so I wore a tank top, capris and sandals to work today....wrong move...
...it turned out to be overcast, too, and my toes froze in the office! :(
so much for monitoring the weather report.
:-D
did your blue toes color coordinate with the nail polish?
worst was having the stupid weather on all day, burying regular shows, and nothing happens
exactly
thankfully no polish or I'm sure they would have clashed!
I chaperoned the 4th grade trip to explore tide pools at a local beach today. It was SO chilly when we arrived, yet somehow I still got sunburned. Sigh.
hey, jmc, did you hear that the White House garden has already yielded lots of veggies?
some weird B's
can you sneak some out?
your tax dollars already suplly me with veggies. . .I have a garden in a national park
ok - bbl. Had to find out. And BF is a meteorologist for FedEx. I believe him more than the TV!
hmmm, i've heard about the "weed" in the natl parks!
I have practically been living on lettuce
pot? jmc?
would love to have my own organic garden
NO NO Une! it is a "freedom garden" which has been in the park for 80 years
this weekend I will plant herbs
me too but too many bugs, birds, chipmunks, etc. peri
lettuce I tell you its lettuce!
cool!
I have two porch pots...lettuce, tomato, and 4 different kinds of herbs ;)
suuuu-uuuure it is
oh, we had a rare sighting in the tide pools! We saw something purple-ish in one pool, so raced over to see if it was something interesting. Yes, very - the native "purple Trojan" seaweed. Could NOT get the kids out of there fast enough. Told them it must have be** a leftover water balloon from a party. God help us all.
the raised garden bed behind the house is Koda's new play space (too big to put a garden in for just one)
at leats pini admits it is pot
it is organic. . . I grow herbs (legal ones) primarily at my house
LOL trif
i bake brownies every week for Mother's caregivers and they've promised me tomatoes from their gardens -- a wonderful exchange!!

YAY nan!!!!
hello DR
^5 stid
YAY nan!! also amazing!
Hi Stid!
hi DR
Hi Jilli- Nice to see you
didn't think I would finish an hour ago!
Jill -- just told stidkid about your grandfather... he is feeling pretty chuffed about it now!
I am trying to decide if I want to wait for the flip or sleep
I didn't either, nan. thank goodness for JILL!!!!! *hip hip -- HOORAY!!!*
I thought this was a toughie -- had to use morewords -- but I love clueing
it was tough
I used morewords for part as well
either that or I was rushed and tired
might it be a little bit of all of those Nan?
I hope tonight's version is smaller
It had some real stinkers, for sure. but the migraine is feeling better since playing, so maybe it's just what I needed.
good about the stidkid. I hope he can manage an authentic uppercrust English accent 1
too bad we can't manage to pop up and see you and hetty and alan to get the "flavor" right.
glad the migraine is better -- or that you're better and the migraine is worse and almost dead.
but he is in rehearsals every weekday from now until opening night. and an overnight isn't enough time
can he listen to a DVD of My Fair Lady?
I don't suppose you have any recordings of your grandfather?
oh yes... we have the DVD already.
heavens no, stid -- he died in 1935 -- was bedridden and speechless from a stroke the only time I saw him when I was 8
that's too bad, jill -- I wish I had a tape of any of my great-grands. I have only a few of the grands. Just memories.
I do have a brief tape of my parents and aunts which I treasure.
that's wonderful! maybe sometime I can hear it?
when you come, remind me.
I will.
It was Xmas 1958
The joke, if I make it to the school tomorrow to help the 6th graders, is that I am portraying Mnemosyne, the Titan of Memory and Mother of Muses... "what did you say your name was, dear?"
LOL, stid!
christmas '58... that was a good year!
or so I have heard.... *wink*
Why, stid?
my inlaws were married that year...
or was it the year before? my memory isn't what it once was.
That's good, yes.
finally made it to 100 boy it has been a night
Are we alone here? I'd like to tip people off that the next icon theme is Bagpipes :)

and we aren t playing---- ARE we??
maybe they ARE waiting for you to finish!
