d
refresh, rushie
Oh thar she be
ra 8
well, I most sincerely doubt I'll be finishing THIS grid :(
pretty pinwheels, flosey :)
no it doesn't rush. I've still got yesterday's lickety open
it was an odd flip but grid is ok now
That double s doesn't look too useful ..
how big are we talking here??
and it's well past time for me to get back in the bed. I posted an update
nytol
hiya, flippers!
thanks jilli - just read yours, will look it up later
dens
253
thankyou
27 so far
rbud, your pinwheel is pretty too
253 words this time?
de 6/7
ty, I like yours, too, really big - wish I had one like that in the yard!
I think you could get one from that link in my bio, rbud!
RE 6
we have several little windmills, no pinwheels so far. I'll take a look at the link, thanks!
NBT
also hi
hi josh -- wtg!
Was FE 6 called?
Nope
wow josh, that was fast
re7/32
ST 7 if not called
tr7/32
NBT, too, yay, josh!
FE 6
NBT
Was RE 7 called?
wow jilli, wtg
st 9
Bugs, I know you're there... How many words do you have?
TR 7/28 as well as the 32 which was called
it7 called?
jill i called ST 7/32
thanks jilli
Nw grid appeared as I was off seeing My Love to work? Time I left now, then, since folks will be clueing before I want.
Happy Babbling all.
re 9 if not called
we don't clue for over an hour, jac, unless you count it7 and the like clues
hi nan
cyber is that RE 9 with a 7?
As far as I know, jilli, new grid is 14 minutes old.
hello all late flip
I'm off now. See you all tomorrow.
hi west
hi, I'm two short of NBT - the A and the O
so do you count it7 etc at clues, jac?
bye Jacula
hi west
hi melon -- ar6/21 and od4/5 are what I have there
OK - will someone tell me what NBT stands for - I'm too curious to ignore it longer?
No blank tiles
it8 as well
No Blank Tiles
hello jilli and flosey and melon
ma 6,21 + 7,32
just saying hi, even though like jac I'm not really watching the chat log cos of the clues!
i dont even kow what the It word is yet
Jilli - I'm tired, I'm a bit pissed and more than a bit pissed off with the month or so I've had, so not going there or even looking.xx
thank you jilli
RA 6/7
just asking, jac, what you consider a clue
There ARE no blank tiles -- explain some more please??
yw poirot
NBT = no blank tiles (or you've found at least one word from each viable tile)
Something like "ma6 - a little furry animal" jill
In the Tile Stats, below the grid, there are none which have a zero (excpet the ones which are grey to start with)
Oh, I see -- thank you!
how many FR words are their/
rushie -- I was asking jacula
Kind of a useless statistic...
there
erda, some of us like to have it as a goal at the beginning
I see jilli
wrong use jill
MLFAN -- their?? whose?
mlf -- you should say "how many FR words are THERE?" Not "their", which is a possessive.
i just asked a question if y9ou know what i meant it doent matter
It DOES matter
It does matter
It does matter
MLFAN, this is the home of language enthusiasts, so, yes, matters. All in good cheer.
Another thing that drives me nuts is improper use of apostrophes.
is 9 letters the biggest word for this grid?
Like its and it's???
yes ML there are 3
yes, mlf, and there are 3 of them
100 words found so far
your and you're
wow cool
Remember it's its if it's possessive. howzat? ;)
rushie you're dangerous lol
Uhh I meant using them for plurals
hear hear rushie. Have you read "Eats shoots and leaves"?
Nope
One of my favorite little books, that one
terrific, melon, lol!
I think you'd love it -- try the library
Who was it that sang thae song 'OOps I Done it Again ' back in the 90s?
Brittany Spears
brittany spears
I thinnk I've dun it again.
*hurls into a bag*

I think it's Britney (her parents couldn't spell, I guess)
Both spellings are accurate
nbt
dun wot, jac?
GJ west
wtg west :)
ty
ar 6/21
i love when i type a word in incorrectly and it comes up in the grid as a valid word lol

http://tinyurl.com/m8hkat
Night jill

I am off too Rushie. I only have 93. Night
I think I'm outta here, too...121/132 and fading faster than i can type or pay attention...cya l8r g8rs!!! * poof *
aww
But for the grace of God didn't I span too early, shave my head etc., etc.
good for you Pini
me, too. I had 6 hrs or less last 3 nites. nitey nite! {poof!}
jac -- interesting Welsh castles, but why?
cant think either i am off too
Hope to stop step doing so now, 30 years on.
well done, pini

155 down and nbt -- enough for now -- see you tomorrow :)
well done, nan! g'night!
* looking out to check the phase of the moon, hmmm *
I enjoyed it jac
nbt!
wtg ata and hi!
west -- I went to jac's link, I think, but it was Welsh castles. Wassup?
I did say hi at the flip but I think it got lost in flippery
hi Ata
guess so, ata -- who's the guy with the stereo glasses?
that's what I got too
Doctor Who pic
oh -- haven
Oh -- haven't been following Dr Who
(not haven or heaven, just a typo)
hello atta any update on the sheep?
noooo :(
the things I learn in Babble I had no idea a sheep on its back couldn't get back up
181 words done but slowing to a halt - too early to expect a list I suppose
most likely anike and because of lickety's father there may not be one
sometimes they just get *stuck*. silly things!
wow, anike!
I'm making sense to me, jilli. But still not looking at the grid, LOL.
redam
so why Welsh castles, jac?
I was just having a chat with you. Babble intrrupted. LOL
oops. Didn't think there would be - might have to rest the brain for a bit and come back later
No idea, Ata - I guess they camr witth th songs?
I see! so whygive us a link on Welsh castles??!
what songs? didn't hear any songs
anike - as a mother and a 'wife' (not) I redarn all the time!
100 words, off to bed, goodnight all
good night flosey try to stay asleep
hope so west
thanks
gj, flosey! g'night
I haveve no idea what you are both talking about now, jilli and Ata, I'll check back.
it's nice to have Babble to wake up too though isn't it?
jac it was interesting all the same I bookmarked it
Not if you've got people asking you wy you did something when you don't remember doing it.
*jilli and ata gently take jac to her bed*
Ohm I rememger, the castles thing was a clue for Mott and bailey.
ohhhhhhh
why did we need a clue for mott and bailey?
mott was in yesterday
mott was in yesterday
I got frustrated with fokks who don't know history.
it's applesauce around here
oh, so it was...
yes, we used to get Mott's applesauce
It waa for yesterday.
right column grey, lol
me too !!
Can I either moan and vent now or leave yoiu all to get on with today's grid?
you can do both, jac ;)
moan away jac
st 9 I found it...
wELL, JILLI, i EITHER FALL INTO BED AND SLEEP OR SIT HERE AND MOAN.
gj ruru
ooPA! cAPS LOCK STUCK AGAIN
moaning is good for the soul - i am not usually up this early but hubby couldn't find the cold meat for his sandwich this morning and made me get up to find by which time he had decided to have marmite ones instead
how's the lump in his head doing, kazz?
On his head, I mean
lol
was it me or other kazz
the other on is kaz. You're kazz
sometimes his head is a nasty lump
hello all! lump on head? were you watching me "encouraging" my kids tonight jill? *innocent mama look*
actually, I spent the last six hours binding the books the 6th graders made. Was too sick yesterday afternoon and this morning to do it.
oh stid -- more migraine?
a good job done stid
oh! and good news -- the elder stidkid found his trumpet mutes at school! He thought he lost them at the last concert for the non-school orchestra.... but they were in the school's lost and found all along!
yes jill -- this one has been particularly nasty -- but the nausea lifted about noon today and the photophobia is almost gone now.
http://tinyurl.com/m8hkat
thanks west. I was so happy to do it -- kids need to know their efforts "add up" to something! Even if only one or two of them ever look at the book again, those children will have pride of accomplishment.
hello jac!!!!
<--- points to stidkid's haircut. isn't he a handsome fellow?
so true stid and yes he is !
yes, stid -- very good haircut on very good head
and now that it's had some time to "relax" it's all curly and fluffy. The girls REALLY swoon when he walks by now! LOL
both boys are really looking forward to seeing you later this summer, jill. They have "plans" it seems...
Hi everyone. Any clues on the 9's please?
hello soodle!
st9
deer
9s? *faint*
can you give me some idea of when, stid?
thanks for that one!
aaargh.......sorry
yes, soodle
only 3
I have found none
late august, jill -- they don't start school again until Sept 9.
oh dear!!! lol
and, yes,he marched out to work yet again wthout giving anything to me and also his daughter now, This is becoming a problem.
re 9
I've been toying withthe idea of going to Tadoussac in early August
oh gee, jac. not good.
i have 2
I just found an NA 6/7 if not called...
re and st
I have zero 9s as usual
that would be SPECTACULAR!!!! I think you should, and bring back new sketches and such. *wishful mama look*
Me and her need a buffer,but,duetto work stuff he can be neithera buffer or a lover.
ty rbud had the 6 but not the 7 ( duh )
I refuse to recognise re words
me too, jilli... but then, I have 0 everything at the moment
Me and her, jac? For shame....
LOL kje!
the S has been more useful than I first thought it would be, lol
thats a problem for this grid jilli cos there's loads of them
wow.. kje.. up late
jac that's not working out very well?
no, kje woken up
hello kje! hello ruru!
But never mind about me and my problems. No one everu ntices whatever forum I'm in.
what woke you up?
hi ruru
likely all the water I drank last night - LOL
oh..
HI jiilli
no, I have no idea...
*grimace* oh kje....
you aren't pissy are you?
I was surprised to see it was only 1230 or so... thought I had been asleep longer than a couple hours
jac, we have been responding. what are your options?
Wet, thanks for noticing. That's more than many have done recently.
jac, we've all been noticing
Jacula -- I'm noticing, and sending hugs
Me too Jac. I don't know your story, but I sense your pain. Thinking about you.
My options are, give up and also lose my lovem or caary on for howver long it takes, so long as he dos actually beginto notice me again. Hey YOU! I'm not a f*cking sandiwch-making laundry machine!
well, I just got an ra8
go jill go!
YOU SAID IT, JAC! ((hugs)) it's a tough decision. Wish I could do more than give moral support.
my other half can be a bit like that jac - but i just ignore him and also i dont do his washing if he's being pissy with me
hi all *waves to babble friends* :)
hi other kaz
hey kaz. *waves back*
Jac- 2 yrs ago, I was in similar situation. Since then, while our standard of living has dropped dramatically, our quality of life has soared.
hi kaz! This is going to be fun, with kaz and kazz both here :D
Thanks stid and you others who said you had actually noticeed/ I'm not a fame seeker, I just want to be noticed for what I do in every day life.
so do we go to the other part of the name? *waves at ozz and 99*
don't know what i missed but I'll hug you too Jac :)
i might have to go soon to get dressed and water stuff in the back garden and greenhouse before going to wrok
you have to love yourself first jac you're worth it
I have a fridge magnet which says "Nobody notices what I do until I don't do it"
perfect jilli
99 was my favorite character in the Get Smart ...
good idea stid - you call all call me anything you like so long as its not too rude
kazzer isnt it awful early there lol? i'm usually the only kaz here at this time of day haha
my daughter has one that says 'no man was ever shot while doing the dishes'
that goes for me too stid lol
Soodle, thanks, May be we should get in touch,,
Love the magnets -- words to live by
hmm its 10 past 7 in the morning which is not too early - but i was up at quarter to 6 today
seems early to me, 99 -- BUT it's after 11 here and I need to be up and going by 7 tomorrow *sigh*
my new fridge won't allow magnets
jac- it took me 30 years to grow my husband up- longer than it did for the kids
7.15am here.
Jac - how can I give you my e-mail without the whole world seeing it?
YES!!!! *dances around* I have NBT!
0116 here, ugh
wtg stid!!!
i have 2 favorite fridge magnets - one says fridge pickers wear big knickers and the other one is two pigs on a fence saying we shouldn't keep meeting like this
yay for stid
its late for me which is why i cant add 8 hours on and realise its morning for you blech...dives into grid
gj stid !!
west, whatever will you without a magnet place? What's it made of?
Soodle - tell me you're goingto put it in your bio, I'll grab itandt then you delete it.
my fave fridge magnet says "I kidproofed my house, but they still get in!"
oh kje! *st5 mama look* get back to bed! *points in appropriate direction* you need your beauty sleep.
it's aluminum made to look like stainless steel
actually, so do I... my kids are starting to tell me I look my age!
good one, rbud!
rofl rbud!
If theree's n chocolate in heaven, I'm not going there.
Another fridge magnet
ouch stid
there should be a Babble magnet
only got 63 left so may go and do my duty to all the lovely things growing in the tubs and bags in the back garden
so west, what are you going to do about all those magnets?
Its there now Jac
well stid as long as you don't act your age...
I can lend you some rain if you like
go kazzer! and enjoy being in the garden. may your day be sunny with a light breeze to refresh you.
my favorite magnet says " if you want breakfast in bed, sleep in the kitchen"
wow, kazzer99!
I may take them to Maine there's a normal fridge up there
LOL ruru -- moi! *le look innocente*
You'll have to get a magnetic bulletin board
ooh good idea
soodle got it all, you can delete now/
i must say that i am very pleased with our spud growing experiment this year We planted 3 seed potatoes into the bottom of 4 old compost bags, rolled the sides down and then as the little devils grew rolled the bags up and earthed up. Now the biggest in full of soil and the plants are a good 3-4 ft above the top of it
je suis la dame of a certain age....
Does anyone have the 3 9's?
ru has at least 1 of them
i have two of them
re & st
not I
perfect technique, 99! :-) I haven't planted potatoes this year, but we finally have some tomato starts (10) and bean starts (6). Will plant seeds next week when the kids are off school.

What about the 8's - I only have 2
we have 36 tomato plants that are producing tomatoes and another 15 under wraps for late in the season - beans are a bit depressing - not grwoing well. But our biggest disappointment was the caulies on the allotment - we have replanted 3 times and each time somthing has eaten all the leaves!
Jac, be well. I will be thinking of you. (((Jac)))
enjoying the company cj

Westford! :)
I can west. south of anywhere remotely civilized
enjoy the time off granny!
rose, I had my tonsils out twice -- age 3 and age 9
Hi, Jilli and Westford!!! :) *Waves!*
that's where they bused our granddaughter
westy, adelaide (city) is in south australia, down on the bottom edge. ( or were you referring to a person?)
I did not know they could grow back...
hi JC !!!
MRP!!!! ROFL a lot
no rose the place Cassie is Out Back bound
adelaide a de4 little city, it takes 15 mins to drive from one edge to the other.
maybe she flew to Adelaide and then got on a bus she said 'This place is amazing!'
I think we're going to lose her to Australia
it is amazing west! amazing they can grow grass or have flowing water
* gales of laughter*
i have been to adelaide
i remember the bottom of several wine glasses
nothing to be all that proud of, josh, most people won't admit to it>
that is about all that is memorable about adelaide.
poor little Adelaide!
they do good wine in SA, I like their wine!
i remember the bottom of several wine glasses
Adelaide is just another state of Germany.
i'm back - watered everthing that needed it and spoke nicely to them
night all.. 15 to go for the morning
yay! got the re9!
jilli, don't get us wrong. it's a great place......... to get awy from.everything shuts down on friday night and doesn't re-open untilmonday morning.
that's good kazz they'll repay you in kind
night ruru
go girl
night ruru
babble just got all weird - anyways, adelaide seemed alright to me. a dusty city on the edge of nowhere
good night ruru pleasant dreams
wtg jill

good night cj happy dreams
ty all and Poof!
I have a feeling Adelaide is like your RI everyone makes fun of us too cuz we're so tiny
I'd like to get halfway but only have 115 found...
I gather Adelaide isn't pretty like little RI
but you have all the 9's
what is RI?
mrp said it was de**
west, I have ONE 9!
rhode island, i imagine
It's the smallest state mrp
Rhode Island, small US state
jilli you have 2 didn't you get the st awhile ago?
nope, no st9 here
it is a de4 little place, but you have to be particularly careful you don't smack into a church.
Little Rhody
it's pretty enough, has lots of beautiful old churches, but asi said, drive for 15 mins and your'e on your way to alice springs, melbourne or perth.
Rhode Island... have heard that is lovely
they have good gangsters there
Newport is especially nice
famous for red chickens, lol
rhode island reds
yes josh and most are politicians
hi babrab! :)
hello
right, babrab
delaware blue hens
at least the politicians are just gangsters
could be worse
the 2 smallest states have chickens must be a conspiracy
"Mississippi gave Missouri her New Jersey, so what will Delaware?'' "Idaho, Alaska".
I reckon South Park should get onto that one west!
lol jilli and mrp
I know, it's an oldie
oh I just got all that jilli!!
That's bad, Jilli! :P
i will refrain from digging up the old M R DUX one

hi lyn, how's it going?
grid wise - OKish
good, that is a start. I hope the rest isn't too bad?
The sun was out today which made a nice change...nothing like a couple of hours in sunshine to lift the spirits and energy level. What on your agenda today?
babble first, then some practising with the haircut scissors. This afternoon a dose of what you just described, out with the doggy. Nothing special, a quiet day.
hi lynxx! just pulled my head out of shopping... hi sprite
hi mrP
hi MRP...good, you know what they say about plastic bags
tell me what they say??
we are being 'targetted' to not have bags anymore
i would be happy if they would remove the bags from under my eys
don't put your head in them!
not suitable for children up till 36 months, I believe
oh lynxx! I would NEVER put my head in a plastic bag.... someone else's maybe.. but not mine!
how's FIL MRP - was the operation today?
not today, he had the CT scans today... to see if the cancer had spread to his bones and other organs
he has the operation on 7th July... they are doing all the investigating before hand. He will then have chemo after the op
'targetted' MRP would you mean 'Target' in Australia?..from June 1st...no plastic bags...but pick a layby up today..guess what all in plastic bags...layby was put on after June 1st...go figure
I'll keep my fingers crossed that it has not spread to any vital organs. How is Lickety mamanging?
lickety is not managing.
Pls tell him we are all concerned and send our love
redetendon

I liked browsing for pinwheels. Lots of good pics.
The website is really fascinating
yeah, my first 9. I like this grid.
Yah Sprite.
Oh bless. My kitty as crashed out holding his toy

Terra is starting to look like a real dog not like a little grub when we first saw him
oh yes, he is growing up!
I got my first 8 woot following in your footsteps

I think one of the words re te-- is a word

Seriously when you re apply for te -- so why not
Back soon need a shower and dinner

fireflies. Bye all, have a good time!
clue for the fe8 if anyone's there?
fe8 - fe plus where you catch a bus or train minus the s at the front.
Or fe8 - to the Greek cheese add a consonant and a charged particle.
cool thanks heaps haz, got it now
You're welcome.
Thanks for that clue got a 9 from it too.
Good morning every one :-)
You're welcome, FM - yes, I discovered that as well.
Good morning zooz!
Morning zooz and Hi Haz and the glittery one.
Congrats Haz on getting over 3 million points so far :-)
Oh, have I done it? I'd known it was coming up.
Wow thats a whole lot of words!!!
Spangle is confined to the kitchen - the front door is getting painted and we can do without permanent mementoes of her in it!
Thank goodness it doesn't record the number of hours spent on babble.
d
Ahwell I msure she has important paw arranging to do to keepherself occupied.
oh man ..now that would be a stat..LOL
and there goes zooz off to the PB :)
Yes, indeed! FM's not letting anything escape her this morning.
Noooo..di not know which word that was...sorry everyone
oh yes found it oops
Not a problem, zooz.
teehee!
at least haz is forgiving.. :-)
As long as you don't abuse apostrophes.
most unusual.
hahahaha
I wasn't always so forgiving, zooz. They used to call me Chief of Police but I've mellowed.
For that, read I've given up. Unless I'm really provoked and then, stand back!
I will be on my guard then..for when you have your moments..as we all do form time to time..lol
especually if she hasn't had her meds.
LOL
Yes,the meds keep me on an even keel. I can recommend the blue and yellow pills.
you two are ma3..lol
I say I'm only missing 1 F *does happy dance*
Flamenco or Greek?
I'll do a mixture of both if you like as I have just found the missing f (was in the grid a couple of days ago I think).
fr5/16? You're right, or at least a variation.
lol yes, that was the one.
Cue Mrs Sharples clues!
That name must have fallen out of favour, I can't think of anybody using it now.
Quick break while I make tea for the painters.
only those of long time Corrie watching would get the ref I think.
*diving back in* will re and de every word I have, thats got to be good to find a few more.

lol I did a quick zoom round Tescos this a.m. too
did you have to drive through ascot last night??
Lord no, not with the reaces on if I have to go out I make sure Im back by 11am latest.
hi
my friend took 1 1/4 hours to get from s'dale to the other side of ascot
what time was that?
about 8pm
apparently a horse-drawn carriage collided with a prison van!
Hello Ata & herin
Hi herin Gosh thats bad Ata I think they have stopped the one way system by then. Oh heavens really!!!I hadn't hear that.
Hope the horses were OK
me too
Waves hello
Hello Herin
*waves back*
I get my tickets to see my birth family in the next 24 hours
Wanted to pay a cheque in this morning but as there are bollards down both sides of the high street and tons of traffic wardens there is no-where to park unti Saturday.
wow herin, that will be a momentous journey/visit!
wow herin, how exciting
It will be
"Berkshire Ascot: Road closed and stationary traffic due to accident, a prison van and a horse box involved eastbound between A332 King's Ride" that's all I can see from yesterday's travel!
I am really excited. This year hass been awwwwwesome so far
Ooooooooh and tomorrow night Touchwood from the begining woohooo
LOL herin
i have fe9.....clues for the other 2 9s plz
woohooo1
Ata Torchwood mmmmm
Ata thanks for that snippet, Kings Ride is just past the Heatherwood Hospital and right next to the stables for the race horses so Drs and vets would have been close by for all concerned.
It must have caused chaos with the traffic though.
oh good! poor horsies
sorry MM..don`t have those ones
Don't have them yet mm
no idea
Ata how is your elbow?
um. getting there, slowly. *sigh* I'm really bored of it hurting now
(((Ata)))
awwww
st7.28 & 9.60 think railways
and darling husband wants me to drive down to brighton on sunday and pick him up from the london-brighton cycle ride. and then! sisyter wants me to drive up to cotswolds on monday!
I can hrdly drive to tesco without pain!
Thanks Lynxxx
ta lyn
Tell him to do it themselfs
Why would you want to drive to Tesco?
Hello again.
Have you forgotten the boycott?
Tell them you have an owies and to friggen bad. Hi Lynxx and Haz
cos tesco's is the nearest food source!
They are just trying to take your mind off it Ata - very considerate really
lol just 'cos you don't shop there anymore Haz. Hi lynxxx, love that pic of Stewie btw
What did Tesco's do?
just this once, cos it was nearest, and they would help me carry my stuff!
You obviously don't do boycotts the way the Irish do boycotts. We don't forget easily.
G'd morning Babblers! ***unleashes high pressur hose connected to water tower for hours of drenching FM***
Boycotting did begin in Ireland - what a claim to fame!
lynxxx you probably know..but you can add to more letters onto the last clue you gave.
I forget very easily when it involves less pain than the alternative!
Good morning/evening all again!
What did Tesco actually do?
hello Lori.
hi Lori...feeling feisty there
*drip drip* ... and welcome to Lori *squelch squelch*
Tesco is trying to take over the world - customer service is the least of their worries.
for the 9 Zooz ? I included in my clue - or it there another end?
OH. That sounds like Safeways/Woolworths here except the fact that they suck as they are cruel to animals
Not so much feisty, as jacked up on caffeine Lynx. :D
My argument with them goes back to Christmas 2007 when they treated their customers with contempt.
oh yes sorry...did not see you put 9 as well ..opps
I found 1 nine earlier, I hope they're all that simple. lol
I've not set foot in a Tesco shop ever since. My letter of complaint went unanswered so my custom was taken elsewhere.
sure Lori of course they are *snicker*
1 nine appears easy
hi Lori
i have 2 9's
Fair enough Haz
Oh Lori, have you seen how many f's there are today dear?
Haz, Tesco sounds something like Walmart here
st 9 was my thrill for the day then. Great.
and you don't want to know how many re's
i`m on a roll today ..over half way & have not listed yet..lol
Tesco sounds like Crappy Tire! (Canadian Tire), they suck!
***ignores FM's thinkly veiled taunts***
Yes, I've heard the comparison made before, Nono. I just felt there was no use complaining and then meekly continuing to shop there when there are alternatives.
Yea for zooz!
Tesco's isn't *quite* as bad as Wallys
wtg zooz
good morning all
at least you have alternatives close by Haz
hello Carlee!
Yes, the supermarket I go to now is actually closer than the new supersized Tesco's.
Good morning carlee.
Hi Carlee
other than food Walmart is our only clothing, household goods type store for about 30 miles so going elsewhere takes up time
hi Carlee
how is everyone this day?
Hi carlee and Nono
feeling good Carlee..hope you are well too?.
Mornin' carlee
Great. Eating lamb that was stewed over 2 days
hi Carlee
we have Tesco's and the Co-op - but our Co-op is half empty and doesn't carry half the things I need. but I manage between that and the farm shop mostly
There are too many r's, f's, t's and d's. ***denial is my only option***
and the Ramsgate Waitrose
Running out of st5/12 here, 44 to go.
Yukk...I am watching Mad men and the dresses are exactly what I wore when I was a v. young teenager - revolting!
Waitrose is expensive and the quality of the veg leaves much to be desired.
( sorry been away reading all the tweats coming in from iran )
thank goodness for our local Wegmans grocery store otherwise would have to drive many miles for groceries
wow..GO FM
FE 9 clue please
wonder what will happen Carlee? Hooray for the web
44? Go go go! ***I guess :)***
take the cheese and add ending from united na*****
fe9 - plural of fe8 - fe plus where you catch a bus or train, minus the first letter.
Oh my good ness
Thanks folks, never woulda' got that 9.
exactly..i think it is SO cool people around the world are following and setting up proxy sites and managing to get them to iranians that are web savvy enough to get them up and going
thank you
wow..fantastic clue for the fe9..thank you
You're welcome!
Gah, can't believe I had missed the st7/9
Round of shocked muttering that FM could have been so blind.
*grin*
I blame that cold shower from Lori. It's bound to have frozen the thought processes.
Oh yes lets blame LoriP!!!!!
heh heh heh and may I add...meh
staggering Carlee
good try, FM
my kitty curled up with his toy and went to sleep
***Lori holds a mirror up as FM attempts to blame me***
Good in offence and defence. Lori is the ultimate fighter.
cute herin
It was very very cute. I got pictures

re9 - what the army did when victory was impossible

LOL

ugh. primo just called from school to say he has forgotten his very important binder. It has to be at school by 7:45....trying to get a neighbor kid to bring it to school with him - he drives....
LOL..same here MM..i was miffed
And thanks Haz.
No problem.

annoying but you love them dearly.
just for your happiness and pleasure, I've just put up a cute photo. The nearest thing to a puppy pic that I have of Hobbit
he has worked on the binder for four days, for the final. and then he forgets it. like mother, like son!
oh, squee for baby hobbit!!!
Nice, Ata.
Ata is a Hobbitual offender. :p
I have an od4 - please, what am I missing?
on8/45 Trif
Ata..your muzzled cocker..lol...bless

See you later, Nono.
Yea Nono! ***hugs to hubby***
bye Nono
r,s,t or f. Decisions, decisions. Gah
go for the `f`s
Go for the f's they are quite palatable
F it is. I'm easily led......
Go for the r words. You know you hate them and I feel like being contrary.
There are no r words in my world. Nope. Not a one.
LOL I'm going to go to Lickety so sort my re's out.
You can change your mind. You can be fickle.
I follow the first person to make a suggestion. Changing it now would imply I'm a thinker, and I won't tolerate labels.
if there are no r in your world then you last post should have read: no wods in my worl :)
This is your opportunity to change. You should seize it.
or wol even
wold!
No wods in my wold.
I know *sigh*
Wods out!
I can hear Lori laughing at me!
Wods can hut.
***wow, she's got good hearing***
better go and do boring house work...thank you all so much for the chat..really made me smile today.
Don't do it zooz! I can give you pointers.... :)
shhh don't mention housework zooz please!!! Have a good day whatever you do.
Never call housework boring, zooz! It's like saying that grammar doesn't matter, it rocks my sense of security.
ROFL
LOL..will be back later tonight. :-)
bye Zooz
Grammer matters. Spelling doesn't.
Bye zooz.
this morning's chat log was soo funny
heh heh heh
Got any spare water balloons, FM? I think they should be launched Canada-ward.
Haven't read back yet, but will later when this grid is in the bag. Or I am, either one.
Yowsa, Hazaurus threatening a launch? ***examines recent conduct carefully***
** launches a volley off in that general direction**
Brave people feel that their role in life is to convince others that they''re not wrong is saying that there are advantages to using proper grammar and spelling. Does that sum it up?
*wrong IN saying
how come you can re5 a soldier, but not de5 one?
pretty met. and being met by resistens'e
You're making my skin crawl...
*** snort ***
oh, lawd, here comes the attack kitten. typed gibberish to follow....sorry in advance, all
not as much as mine did when I was talking to the t-e-s-c-o's cashier who said that quite often people hold their coins (to pay with) in their mouths while packing etc
Just as long as the grammar holds up, Trif!
Why would you put coins in your mouth?
God help the kitten if he gets his apostrophes in the wrong place!
Ewwww. Gross!
to hold them while your hands were busy I presume!
And then they hand them to the cashier? Not nice.
she was saying she nearly gets through a bottle of hand sanitiser a day, and I'm not surprised!
more his apawstrophes are in the wrong place, FM, ha ha ha
LOL wish I had thought of that one!
l o l o l
it was almost babble rabble worthy.....
I have the io4.....plz, somebody clue me the other two i's, they're driving me nuts
it 7/8, to enforce a point MM, repeat a point
it7 and it8 - make a point, explain clearly
TRIIIIIIIIIIFEEEEE can you go to um facebook

no ridge yet
and no plural yet
ar5/10 - ar plus the little alien, finish with a vowel.
but I'm ok, off to work with nbt
thanks so much y'all!!
It's not a plural (an6/18)
bye jbp
Bye jbp, have a good day.

Had to rejoin as a friend of Babble.
Did you forget your password, Alleyn?
hi alleyn. did you go pro?
hi Allleyn
well, there's a mystery!
hi all
Going by her dates, you win the whodunit prize Ata
how intriguing
ho Boo
Alleyn was pro before.
Hello Boo.
hi boo
New computer wouldn't let me access my old account so here I am with an extension to the name!
hi ata
All is explained. Welcome back, Alleyn.
oooo my favourite de5 is here today
The pied piper one?
yep!
I quite like the backwards horse one.
Or even the backwards Avenger.
50 left, good enough for tonight. Bye all
Good night, lynxxx. Sleep well.
avengers ... that's distinctly before my time!
bye dear!
You poor thing, you've missed so much.
I know. I'd really love to see that series
I got it - thanks Haz - loved that show. Bye
Bye lynxxx.
Amazing what a break from babble and some food will do. Firewords! Meanwhile outside are the sound of sirens and loads of stretch limos and people walking by :)
Well done FM!
Ladies Day today?
yay fm!
Yep
muchos activity out there from early o'clock this a.m.
They say the day has sold out so I thik that means about 75, 0000 people but don't quote me on that.
wow!
wonder who will win the most hideous dress / hat award
FM says that there will be 75,000 people at Ascot today. Pass it on.
FM go and enjoy it and wear a hideous hat / dress combination
the thing that makes me smile is that people walking past my place are about a mile and a half away from the race course an then there is all that walking and standing once you get there. Oh only one gastly outfit again this morning, think everyone has really made an effort this year.
no Jordan this year though
no she is busy in Ibetha (sp)
She's gone to Ibiza, according to headlines in a paper yesterday.
Ibiza
Um who is looking after her kids whilst she tarts about?
peter andre!
Maybe she'll learn to flamenco dance.
Peter has taken them to visit with his family in Crete I think it is.
O so then someone else whilst he tans his abs
We're worryingly well informed about their movements.
LOL Haz.
I know *hangs head* but I was looking for awful Ascot outfits on the web when I cam across my info.
O I was watching Oprah today and this woman OMG had to mind her own kids and clean her own house after losing her 6 figure a year job. SHocking really
looool
Jordan went out in Ibiza wearing a very fetching light blue nightie and blue velvet boots
Kind of stealth knowledge.
Collatarel information.
Tries to resist correcting Ata's statement as that would admit I read more of the article than I am prepered to.
Collateral it should be.
hahahahaha I'm so sneaky
the boots were more like tacky light blue velour really
The eek outfit I spotted this morning was an amazing incredibly bright gold lame'esque rara skirt with strapless top.
Why would you wear boots in Ibiza? Isn't it roasting at the minute?
OH i need to look this up
oh dear
We'll keep an eye out for it, FM, it sounds worthy of photographic conservation.
Unfortunately the person wearing it was not a bimbo (even then it would have been pushing the boundaries)
Are you trying to indicate that the wearer was (a) too old or (b) too fat or (c) both of same?
http://tinyurl.com/mlamvx
just for you, Haz!
Just so that we get the picture.
ummm yes and also due to her ethnic background frills on the bum were doing her no favours shall we say - trying to be as politically correct as poss there so as not to offend.
Dear goodness. That defies description.
OH nice
I really wonder how much those undies cost
doesn't it just!
FM - it sounds as though she's 'traditionally built'.
Can i have some eye bleach now
Hey guys, I'm a bit late cause I had trouble with my password. But i'm ready to try this puzzle lol
Oh talking of undies, there was one shot somewhere in the pics of a very trim lady in a chifony type dress yesterday when it was everso windy.....
clue for ma 6 please
welcomeback Scyth it is a fun grid today
Scyth - you'll probably find this one easier than yesterday.
Ok
ma6 - either a past tense, or a type of bird (one is ma6/24, the other ma6/21)
there are two ma6 and Haz has beaten me to it already.
or a type of animal
Did we tell Scyth about Lickety yesterday?
What do people think
Err.... lickety?
or aer wel still leting her/him sweat?
oh gosh, ata, just looked at photo, horrid.
You're right, Ata, the bird ends with i.
ty
btw I get how you make your clues now, its quite ingenious lol
but wat does it mean by /24 or /21
*smug*
I think it's always a good thing to get used to the puzzle before introducing the 'Here's how you can get all the words' bit.
But that's just me.
clueing can be just as much enjoyment as finding the words.
HAve a look again at the help section Scyth, its about how to score the points on the yellow tiles
brb I need something that will stimulate my metabolic pathways into producing some sugars and proteins and other useful things
ohh ok
LOL Ata food is always good :)
ma6/24 - means a word beginning with ma that has six letters and the yields 24 points (based on the points awarded for the letters used and then tripled because it's a six letter.
Food is starting to sound like a good idea.
yep its a good thing to have while playing this game'
I need something to warm me up. All the windows in the house are open and it's a blustery kind of day outside.
*stocks up the PB cuboards and fridge and freezer* must ask ruru to stock up the wine cellar.
and get crossy to leave a bottle of his bacon vodka so we can try it!
it is raining here today
mmmm I have raspberry and cranberry porridge
I really should go to bed as have to get up before the crack of noon
well I have pancakes
Scotsmen everywhere are gasping in horror at the thought.
Ata that is a breakfast food not lunch, but at least yr not eating carbs late at night.
lol herin
LOL I know. ok, it's late breakfast. how about that :)
I can't rely on the cats as they didn't wake me this am
Well, I'm going to have some lunch. Back later!
Given your strange sleeping regieme I guess that is OK but really you should do it before you walk Hobbit then you would be as sproingly as er
Bye Haz
relying on cats is an oxymoron Herin.
by Has.. I need breakfast
Byeeee Haz Bon apetite!
Red they stare and stare and stare and stare and stare till i get up They didn't this morning
I can't eat a lot of food that early. Normally I have some porridge when I come back from walking her, but it just got delayed today. I need a big carbo boost somewhere between 10 and 2!
PB Ms Herein
Have a free word
Fair enough dear :)
back, fortified with apple cinnamon oatmeal, now I can finish this grid hopefully
damn it i think i may quit whilst im behind
oh darn thats me off to the PB.
Hi red
eating sorbet, sick with nasty summer cold.
OH that both sounds good Nono and Ata
awe red
poor red -- sounds miserable :-(
I admit tonot feeling good.
great minds think alike, nono!
nothing worse than a summer cold, red, feel better soon
what is the definition of a summer cold [as it differs from a winter cold]?
just that you have it summer when its hot and sticky makes you feel really yucky
bichon, it's just the miserable combo of a cold with heat and humidity . . .
I think only that it occurs in summer...in winter you can at least drinknice lovely warm drinks and cuddle under blankets.
snap, nono! LOL
summer colds are more like allergies
great minds and all that Une
now its 95 out. and I have a sweaty sticky fever. Not at all an allergy.
no not allergy like at all
Do people get fevers with colds. I haven't a cold in about 30 years, but I have wicked allergies
yep
yes, fever with cold.
I think technically I have an upper respiratory infection....a cold.
OM did you hear that People Eating Tasty Animals are complaining about Obama swatting a fly gessh
ffs!
Poor Red
did you see the video on The Daily Show? It was very zen! LOL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rbUH_i VjYw
I thought the incident was rather funny Herin
http://tinyurl.com/kpf88u
can't believe that Pita is complaining about it
I just saw it. He did try and shush the thing but seriously A FLY they are just gross *details with held for those eating*
If you check the PETA blog they basically say that they are not offended by the fly killing.
Peta are the biggest bunch of idiots
deceiver are funny as they catch out PETA morons
http://deceiver.com/
let's now wait for JC to come on and threaten to fire bomb us for being dissrespectful
re PETA?
really?
LOL!
why does everyone hate JC so much?
did I say that??!
UNE if you look at Deceiver it catches out those that say OMG the bunny how can you kill the bunny for fur but then teh same celb is seen wearing Leather shoes and croc bags
wasn't aware of people hating JC
no, no ata....it's just that everyone seems to be bagging on him all the time.
oh, i know, herin but what was that re JC?
maybe I am wrong....happens, of course!
I do not think we hate JC, but...JC does tend to sort of preach at people about how they should all live their lives as purely as he does.
JC is a big supporter of PETA
I said nothing about JC i just dislike PETA as they are hypicritcal
oh, okay red.
OH did you know that non meat eaters smell like pray
Because he upset quite a few people. But as Babble is a fr4 area it happens. It's not a problem.
OH did you know that non meat eaters smell like prey
hmmm, well, my daughter's half sister is a rabid PETA supporter too
PETA bugs me. they are so.....I don't know. I guess they remind me of those people who protest abortions by shooting the doctors who perform them. that sort of twisted logic.
all PETA do is persuade people that animal rights people are nuts
unfortunately, I think that's true, ata
when the majority aren't
I feel the same way about a lot of Christians, ata.
I am rather anti peta, but not against animal cruelty.
wait I meant against animal cruelty!
lol we got it :P
i understood what you meant red.
UM Ah im dobing on Red for being mean to animals :P
PETA tried to firebomb one of the labs I was working in ages ago. Silly people.
woo Sheik Mohamed is in the coach with the Queen, thats a first.
oooo
apparently we were torturing crocodiles in there
I have a couple of vegan friends and they are not hypocrites my point is hypocrites bug the snot out of me.
I had a spaz over Steve Irwins wife saying that they catch and kill wild Crocodiles for skin when if you get caught and do that you get a rather large smack upside the head by the law
It's like alcohol. I do not drink, but I dont care that others do. But alot of people who do, assume my not drinking is sort of a statement about them....
ah but that is their prob red not yours but they have yet to learn that one.
yes, cos you can't possibly just not want to drink
Its the same sometimes when you run into vegetarians...
I have a friend who thinks that the fact that I go to church and she doesn't is my way of saying I am better than her....sigh.
drives me nuts
and people who drink can't understand those that have never done it. same goes for smoker I owuld think.
its her own guilt trif!
When i studied my childcare course I had one lady say she wouldn't treat a kid if they had AIDS but she wouldn't get her kid to be vacinated. I said so you would treat a kid differently when all the kids need to be treated like they have a disease when you are dealing with cuts but you are quiet happy to let your future child go near a baby with out vacines
not vaccinating children is CRAZY.
-----> and that's me being judgemental
I can understand concerns but its a matter of being informative and decisive (if that is the right word)
ancididium oncogene
Hi inge sorry?
well I know what an oncogene is ... not sure about the ancididididium
People should be allowed to have their own opinions, making their own choices instead of following like sheep.
lol I had just gone back to oxegene by jean michelle jare
Flossy I did just say that.
sorry herin didn't see oops
That is ok.
loooooooooove Oxygene
But hey I agree with you herein lol
At the moment with this swine flu and flu in general it is so idiotic that people are being well idiots and need to be told basic hygine
hiya Babblers! How is the grid today?
Ok its cold I am going ot bed
Hi Beach
good night herin! sleep well, dear friend
whoo I am half way!
LOL Ata did you ever see the incredible parade in Paris? Nighty night herin and Hi beach
the whole swine flu thing is so out of perspective. how many people are going to die of malaria today? where is the outcry over that???
sleep well herin
hi beach
OK Im off for a while - will be back later.
Want to go and pay a cheque in and see if I can spot some more fashion gaffs!
But on the place side Trifs i get to stay inside
there are some real issues with swine flu though trif. It may meld inot a "superflu" of the regular flu and the swine flu come fall, very dangerous.
That's is what they said about avian flu too, and SARS, and all those other plagues that were supposed to kill us all.
take your camera!
But does it not apply to all colds and sneezes be POLITE
hi all what an interesting conversation!
I am still waiting on those killer bees, too.
hello jmc!!!
at some point its going to happen trif, and those killer bees are in Texas.
don't forget the fire ants taking over the world
oh, and the zebra snails!
I think the PETA people should go live with the killer bees
zebra snails??!
I am sure PETA has much of a hold in Texas
zebra snails?
sorry - NOT sure
why do i have to be tired this is fun
we're all fascinated by the zebra snails
zebra snails are clogging public waterways in the midwest and other places
like rabbits in australia
my friend goes ferreting and gets the bunnies
ohhhhh. I was hoping they would be mutated killer snails that killed old people and children
sorry scrabbler)
sorry ata! :)
looks like they escaped from someone's acquarium and are terrific breeders like kudzu
lol ata
pkay red better keep an eye on your fish tank
ferrets will kill bunnies? I didn't know that!
Yup, I can find platys and other non native fish all over Florida. The lion fish addedto our oceans are now hurting our coral reefs.
back for some babbling
that is the whole purpose of owning ferrets
hi mr p!
howdy mr p!!!
speaking of which *splash*
hello Mr P
Triffs shove them down a bunny hole net them up and they flush them out.
Hi Mr P
ferrets scare me....
My friend owns five of them and they are not cute and cuddly
so, oddly enough, i finished the 5's with like 30 words to go. now down to 24 and have apparently also overlooked a 4. but you can see what that means... lots of long ones left!!!
hi hurshy
hi hursh
so... who's got 9's? :) and hi all.
hi hurshy
I have them, hurshy. do you want clues?
just what they start with. unless they are weird, i'll take clues for weird ones. :)
fe8/9 combo re7/9 combo and st7/9 combo
the re9 and the st 9 are not at all weird. start with those
they are both past tenses
is the re a prefix or integral part of the word?
prefix
hello friends! :)
what is new in the land of Oz, mr p?
hi again mr p! :-)
ok, got the re9!
yay hurshy!
there's sooo many ways to go with the st...
trif... all is pleasant... taking care of my own :)
:)

any more news regarding the canteen, mr p?
aHA!
AND got the fe's!
partying is such sweet sorrow.
wtg Hurshy
way to go hurshy!!!
oh so much fun with canteen... they put out a survey to ask parents if they wanted it opened... they proposed the questions that were very suspect
ok, so 8's. i have: en, fe, it, ra
Lickety suggested I copy the document, 100 times, and put in the survey box suggetions
good one lickety!!! lol
de8
de is prefix or not?
nope. it builds off a de4/5
the skin one, maybe?
nope.
bummer.
I have too many left and need to sleep! kids have been sick at home today, so has taken a lot of healing energy
the sweetie one?
binged + consumed
those without children, don't know the amount of love and attention
(that's a hard G not a soft G, in case anyone is wondering, in amelu's clue)
rather bing-ed, not binge-ed...
thanks!!! got it!!
I was lucky my son was like me and wanted to be left alone when sick
thanks hursh.

howdy peri
fyi, my cat is eating her pills in the pill pockets!!!
what exactly is a pill pocket
yaa for kitty
is a treat with a hole in the middle where you put the pill or capsule. they have them for cats and dogs
you put the pill in the hole and fold the treat over the pill
RE9 builds off of the TR7.
never heard of them until a few days ago
BTW, peri, to the PB with you! ;)
ok, don't have tr7, will look
oops, hope there is chocolate in there
that got me the re9 and tr7 thanks
yaa got it..to back up in a war
I use pill pockets for my meds
to give up won ground
if it helps, the RE9 and TR7 are directly related to the reason youre headed to the PB. :)
I have to give my bichon a pill 2x a day. That would be easier than coating it with peanut butter and having him lick the pb off my finger
if you re9 enough you will bump into a general:))
they have them on line, bichon, much cheaper than in the store. I got mine at petco for $10.99!!! on line they were from $4.99 to $7.99
BR you made me chuckle
peri, how many come in a package?
hehe im so witty
believe it or not, i used a similar method to teach *myself* how to swallow pills! i couldnt swallow them until i was like 12 or 14...but then i got very sick + needed the pills. i used to swallow my beefaroni whole, so i just slid a pill inso the beefaroni noodle + voila!
what flavor do you like best, BR, chicken, beef or salmon
howdy again. phone call, now I am back
howdy trif
howdy, oh bacony one
bichon, for cats there is a 1.6 oz size, think there are bigger sizes too. not sure about dogs. just google pill pockets and you will see
I have no preference
:)
lol have a pan of the noble slices frying as we speak trif;)
not my fault,they keep putting it on sale;)
approx 45 in the 1.6 oz bag. but the dog pill pockets are larger. you can pull them apart though, they are soft
hello
Wish they made them for 12 year old girls. She can't swallow pills at all :(
geesh, hello peri!
get your girl to take the pill in her mputh and use a sraw with a carbonated drink
bichon, about 45 pieces in the 1.6 oz size. but the pill pockets for dogs are bigger. you can pull them apart tho, they are soft
trif -- try my beefaroni method!
straw
help with the st9 and the fe8/9 pls
to this day, it is much harder for me to swallow pills with plain water. i usually try to use juice, soda, or even milk.
my better half always used to gag on pills till we used that method
hi all...the pill pockets are called Greenies...feline package has 45 tr6/18, and the canine tr6/18 have 30. My husband sells them to his clients.
hmm. that might work.Beefaroni is not on the vegetarian diet menu, I am afraid.
omg i must be in a time warp, the chog has been stuck on how to give a pill to a pet for 3 days now...
at least your icon is thus appropriate, harp!
ok, macaroni :)
then try my way oh veggie one
lol harp
I am not so much a veggie -- just secondo
we can talk about bacon/breakfast of you would rather harpjane:)

Well, I dove into the grid today and now must emerge to look at the grey lowering skies and the still, green water at slack tide. Not inspiring but makes one think. Hope you are all finding lots of the r and t words. Ah, more words that I believe I know.
Greetings stidmere, enjoy the beauty of the grey lowering skies and the still, green water at slack tide as there are many of us that would love to be that close the the ebb and tide :)
It is a good grid for its size with a few queries as there are several points from which words can start and that gave me a real spinaround!
Hello FMitch I heard that 50% of the world's people live within a few miles of the ocean. I feel so very fortunate to be wtihin viewing distance. Sometimes we wind up with much more than we deserve or bargain for.
It is interesting that so many of us has this drive to be near the sea or a river, must be a long term memory!
Good afternoon babblers ... can anyone clue me the on8 please :-)

My sister and I came up with the seven menopausal elves once. I can't remember them all, but we had: Bitchy, Bloaty, Achey, Crampy, etc., etc.

ch1212, I am using Scrubbing Bubbles with a sponge that is rough on one side. the question you should be asking is how often I clean the tiles :-) which almost never
when I move out the apt will be the cleanest it has been since I moved it :O
when I move out the apt will be the cleanest it has been since I moved it :O
LOL!! I use one of those steam cleaner machines - called a Shark. I also use baking soda to scrub the tiles. DITTO on the apartment cleaning! LOL
the shower tiles look 95% better. will go over them again later today or tomorrow
Oh joy. 15 words left. All R's.
I have a shark too and I have baking soda too
should try the shark on the few place that still need attention
st ead
I do like that machine. It blasts away grime.
but you still have to wipe up after it like with any cleaning product. wish I could afford a cleaning service
You and me both!
I am having a gin n tonic with kashi tlc grains (whole grains) figure the crackers make up for the alcohol :-)
TLV original 7 grain crackers. like their sesame crackers better
ROFL! Pour me one too!
But hold the crackers
clue for ar5 please
ok, here is one for you, made with Seagrams black label
this is strong stuff
mmm, only the best
51% alcohol
it is 5 o'clock somewhere, right?
crossy turned me on to the black label
Woo! That warm glow is already toasting my toes!
*cheers*
one of the nice things about living alone is I can eat/drink whatever I want, when I want
ar 5 -- add an ***rnal flame flickers at JFK's burial site
soon I will be living with 3 other people, but should be ok, two of them are still working
True - and stay up as late as you like, watch whatever you want on the television ...
BR would you be interested in a gin and tonic?
cannot have alcohol .. but thanks
ty BR
but, on the other hand, I cannot afford to pay my rent.
ok, BR, then here tonic with a twist of lime for you
thanks, peri. you are most kind
I do have my good days
BR, are you done with the grid
and yes I know that done is in the grid
LOL!
and I forgot to use the ?
are there any hard core cleaners here. Haz is not
want to know what to use to get rid of marks in the tub left from a tub mat
may the shark
let them soak i warm soapy water with a little salt
maybe the shark might work
hello everyone
I used my shark to get rid of ours, peri. That and the aforementioned baking soda
wait till the salt disolves before cleaning
Hi jac
hello ch
hanks
thanks, eve
aforementioned :-)
peri, a tip for when you move in with 3 other people, make sure you have somewhere to go where you can be alone, because i mis alone time so much
think the gin is going straight to my brain
(aside to those just coming in -- Peri has been hitting the gin and tonic. Feel free to join her if you like!) :D
and privacy
I have my own bedroom in the back of the house and use of the room next to it. both rooms have doors. there is a park nearby too
i hate gin but i do have champagne, am supposed to be saving it to celebrate happier times but......
I like champagne too
That's good - that should not be too bad, then.
I really do like the taste of gin
sounds not too bad peri
I'm overly fond of rum and diet coke. Have not had one in years, but do like the taste.
I will be going to the park, library and to a friend's house. she lives nearby and has just move here from Mass
I like rum and coke too
i like malibu over ice
what is malibu
sickenly sweet liqueur, tastes a little of coconut
got really drunk on rum and coke years ago but somehow managed to take the train to NYC to visit my cousin. woke up with a killer hangover
I tried getting drunk once back in high school, but I have a problem with letting go of control (sad, but true...) So I missed out on that.
malibu + pineapple juice was my favorite back in college. :) malibu is coconut rum.
I got so sick on pineapple juice and southern comfort also many years ago
sick ie. drunk but sick sounds better
oh Nadine wasn't that really sweet?
malibu bay breeze - yum!
it was. it kinda tasted like a pina colada. but back then, i liked drinks to be that sweet...not so much these days...
still 103 to find
my very first drink after high school graduation, many eons ago, was a 7&7 since that was what the person in fron of me was getting
*front* even
i still quite like a 7&7 :)
vodka + coke and bourbon + ginger are my go-to drinks these days.
what's a 7&7?
periwinkle are you tipsy? juist been reading the log!!!
have not had once since then
Seagams and 7up
seagrams 7 + 7-up
hi therer Ata. FYI, Zoe-Anne is taking her pills in the pill pockets
Evening all :)
almost, FM
wtg girl!!
Hi FM
my dad used to drink bourbon and ginger ale
oh great!
never was much of a drinker but hey, why not
HI ch12 et al!
someone say good ole 7+7?:)))
you go girl - have to let your hair down occasionally
hey there crossy
i find that i actually quite like the liquors that you hear the horror stories about -- bourbon, tequila....heh
we dont even get seven star anymore;(
crossy, I am enjoying a gin and tonc made with Seagrams Black Label
true, FM
yaa for black label!!
crossy, since youre here: http://bakonvodka.com/
and it is a stressful time for me, what with moving and having a sick cat
Oh crossy did you see I posted a note for you to put some bacon vodka in the P if you were up to it?
ive made it eva...twice now;)
crossy, I missed the deadline for the rebate but still got $1 off the regular price
(((peri))) You'll be fine hun honest!
hope so, FM
ok, crossy. how about mixing this with your rum, then? http://www.fundistraction.com/20 07/06/new-diet-coke-with-bacon-flavour ed.html
You will!!!
id love to make you girls my home made long island iced tea the recipie is as follows!(bar measures) 1/4 0z of each rum,gin,vodka and tripple sec,add to 3/4 glass of coke,top off glasswith a splash of pink lemonade then crushed iced and garnish with lemon wedge;)))
allo? did everyone fall asleep?
I can't wait to get over to the US and get some proper strawberry lemonade
hic hic *happy hic*
it is a sleeper drink..2 of them and you cant get off the bar stool
or crossy, hows about serving your salad in these yummy bacon cups? http://www.notmartha.org/archive s/2008/02/27/bacon-cups/
you just love us girls you don't your crossy :)))
yes!! eve!! thats perfect!! yes!!
eva*
see eva has it all figured out now:)))
crossy whens your birthday? We are gonting to need time to prepare all the bacon!
aftanoon kiddos. eeh. big grid again.
i know when men like. ;)
bbl
i asked the wife..she says i cannot marry you:((
how exclusive of her!
one day, when crossy sadly departs this earth, he will go here: http://nozama.typepad.com/photos /uncategorized/2008/09/23/bacon_land_2 .jpg
kind of gluttonish if you ask me:/
LOL hugs to d4 wife she has the prize!!
it bacon heaven! see they were wrong! it exists!
Oh don't tell me that is a bacon coffin -an not going to look.
hah, no FM. it is a bacon paradise.
though, perhaps he should get these for his beloved wife: http://thechive.com/wp-content/u ploads/2008/12/afternoon-bacon-lead.jp g
I'm still not going to look
I think you are
24 to go! ty lickety! bbl
she will...wont be able to help herself;0
No Im not, but was wondering if enough time passed you could get a diamond based from bacon?
hehe
enough pressue and enough time id say yes
clue for fe 6/27
all diands are is compressed coal/carbon
diamonds*
ok kids, this gals gotta get outta here :)
It would be hard to tell, though, that the carbon came specifically from bacon
f + one who enjoys food is a big consumer: *****
if i leat my better half cook the bacon we can start at the carbon stage
but crossy would be so happy to know one came from there!
haha, kudos, EvaN, for the bacon extravaganza, been checking it all out.
she sent me a bacon alarm clock last week rbud;)
I still like the bacon covered brains dish
some things even bacon cannot help
you are one sick women Ata!!!
bacon paradise looked a bit undercooked, however, lol
people eat brains!
My, you lot are going to put me off bacon for life. I love the stuff, but all I can hear are arteries clogging.
(((Uni)))
uni,just bring up your salt intake and the excess blood pressure will blast them pesky arteries clean!
lol, crossy! I'm considering a bacon & egg sammy for lunch, now, arteries be darned! (j/k - but not about the sammy) ;)
Crossy, my mother in law had a heart attack a week ago...I think I can safely say that is untrue. She is 44.
((Mama F!)) Is it gorgeous where you are?
did you see any more interesting outfits?
I know a 72-year-old lady who cooks and eats a pound of bacon at a time, can't stand to watch.
im sorry bout that uni..crossy need to be more tactfull:/
Not so great weathrwise, a tad cool and very overcast. No Ata even when I went out later everyone was imaculatly dressed.
sorry to hear about your MIL, Uni, though. :(
Ooh..I forgot about the outfits! Is it that time of year again? It's not tactless, Cross. I don't publicize my life, lol. You didn't know. I just want people to consider realities of arteries, just like you want people to realize realities of cancer.
touche
Rbud, she got a stent and was released from hospital yesterday finally. She is in good shape now, we just all had a dose of reality.
mm..i can switch to turkey bacon:)
she's out of hospital? fab!
It is fab! I spent most of the last five days there and my wallet coudln't take anymore hospital meals. I am spending today relaxing.
I bet! And get a proper meal! Cheese, though I shouldn't say cheese. It's as bad as bacon
I made tuna casserole last night. It was yummy.
well done hun!!
forgive fragmenteded comments, I'm indulging in a youtube fest - bad but good!
Sorry to squash the chat..
Good morning all
Une, I am glad to hear that rbud is doing better. you swuashed chat?

Morning Lynnx, hands lynnx a steaming cup of tea or coffee...
Hooray for you Jess, giving pups a better chance to live a good life. Do you keep them or adopt them out when they are recovered?

TY Red, coffee is fine
adopt them out mostly, so i have room for the next sucker-case that comes by. though all of my pets except the pony i've had since i was 11 are rescues of some sort or other

Hi Takuma, nice storms this week....
Yeah - I just wish they would keep the temp and humidity longer
Seems like things only cool down for 10 minutes or so after storms pass
hi Tak
HELLO ALL!!!
hiya, stidmama!
hey takuma! how's you?
Time for me to split. Good luck, all!
hi Stid!
hey lynxxx!
LOL I get here and Takuma leaves. story of my life!
heh - just bad timing, stid. I have about 45 minutes of work to do in 30... *poof*
oh well, maybe some other time. almost to halfway now.
okay! halfway and listing...
AN 6 and AR 6 please?

thanks for the AR!
yw
an6/18 - starts like an5/10 but en4 with abbreviation for something like a road
hey Vi!
thanks for that one. As added up!
Hello, stidmama! Hello, all!
Hi Vi
ty vi
how's life for you, Vi? it's moving along at a rapid pace, here.
Splendid, splendid, thanks. School's almost out, etc etc.
last day for the one kiddo (he's watching a movie with me now) -- and for the other one tomorrow. My first day for the summer classes is Monday.
Had a really fun incident: I went in to talk to the 1st graders about writing a book (another one, for younger kids, that my kids helped me illustrate.) I got a big stack of adorable thank-you notes from all the kids in the class.
Very gratifying.
We have two days next week still.
woo-hoo! what a great experience for you! yes, the kids LOVE when "real people" (as teachers obviously aren't) come to share
why are you going so late? I thought back east finished by the end of may?
No! It's always mid to late June here, depending on how many snow days were missed en route.
Seems awfully late to me, but... *shrug*
help on the en 7/8?
What's your course load like for the summer?
wow. it seems awfully late to me, too. Our kids usually are out middle of June, which seems longer than I like -- in Virginia as a kid we got out end of May
en7 - e + country
more than full-time. I am taking a full load at Evergreen and another course at the community college.
Oof.
ty
yeah. I am not looking forward to the next 5 weeks. BUT once that's done, I will have about 6 weeks to recover before fall quarter begins.
en 6/21 please?
Well, thank goodness for that, anyway.
en6/21 - to make darling
yes, I am happy that the children are old enough, being adolescents. They can take over the biggest part of the house and yardwork the first few weeks.
At least, that's the plan
en6 make lovable
thanks lynxxx!
I hope they step up to the responsibility. It's great they can handle it.
en 6/18?
is the FE 8 fishy? or cheesy?
cheesy
en 6/18: intestines. add a vowel to the en 5
en6.18 go in & vowel
en6 - innards, en + latin land less a doubled letter
hm. thanks germ.
more fishy Stid...the cheese & happoness , ela****
literally cheesy int hat it begins with Greek cheese. =D
kind of a cheesy fish
thanks... *thinking*
exactly. it's as though a country were made of cheese. ;)
LOL GOT IT!
hey atalante! how are your plans for summer coming along?
i could live in that country...
flying into PDX on the 15th July :)
Just imagine when it's invaded by cherry tomatoes and olives. Mmmm.
What she means is, she's being deported again.
mmm
Good afternoon/evening all!
yep!
i think i know what i'm having for dinner today
haha
woo-hoo!!!! and will you make it up to where we are?
Hello, Haz! And Ata! =)
morning Haz
I'm negotiating that one!
Hello Vicuna - and lynxxx and everyone. We meet again.
assist on the on 8?
on + baby river
I picture you rubbing your hands together in the classic master criminal style as you say that, Haz.
Gosh, what a flattering picture!
I'd love to be a master at something.
Well, you're clearly a genius, albeit an evil one!
isn't being St Haz good enough?
thanks atalante *thinking*
Haz is the mistress of cluing...
I'm clearly going through an identity crisis. Do I be saint or evil genius?
Which is more fun?
got the on8!
down to 62
you can be evil st. Haz.
evil genius by far
So, lull everyone into a false sense of security?
Smile peacefully while plotting evil?
yes, down to 69! maybe i'll stop here for a bit *wicked grin*
Well, Haz, if you choose criminal mastermind you get a cool secret lair under a volcano, but wise-cracking agents are always trying to infiltrate and mess up your schemes..
I know! Why can't those wise-cracking agents make up their own schemes instead of trying to wreck those of evil geniuseseseses?
If you choose saint, you are expected not to complain when the goign gets rough, but on the other hand you get adoring adherants lighting candles and throwing roses at you.
Hopefully with thorns removed.
yes, she also gets "lackeys" though... and I always wanted a lackey or two. or a henchman.
I'd rather have henchmen than lackeys any day.
The wise woman would draw up a list of advantages and disadvantages associated with each.
Spangle could be an evil spaniel henchdog
Sidekicks aren't bad, though.
Have you looked properly at Spangle? Evil she cannot be.
Maybe Spangle's the saint and Haz is the villain?
No, if I'm to stick with Spangle, I'd better choose sainthood.
she could try ...
I think spaniel is like the Jill St. John character in that one James Bond movie -- the sweet red-head girlfriend of the evil genius who can't seem to do anything right.
need help with the fe 8 and 9
the second RE 7 please?
The girlfriend can't do anything right or the evil genius?
bekki: cheese + end of country word
the girlfriend couldn't... but she was sweet and bumbling and eventually it all worked out okay.
For her and James Bond, that is. The evil genius didn't fare so well
re7 - experience REM again?
if you're a saint, people will anoint you with na4. apparently it's an aromatic Himalayan plant used by the ancients
I have to confess that I've never watched a whole James Bond.
Saints and evil geniuses both tend to come to unpleasant ends.
YS! thanks vi!
down to 52. will stop and take a nap when I hit 50
Yeah, I just need to find my last re, then I'm off to bake a cake and start dinner.
it will make you smell like jesus according to an add on the definition page haha
lol
Well, what can I be that doesn't result in an unpleasant ending?
mediocre?
It's not very exciting. You don't get to sign autographs if you're mediocre.
Or perhaps you'll be safe if you go for fairy-tale princess.
nope. mediocre people end up in their apartments with their face half-eaten by a cat.
I think, haz, that if you are just "you" -- then you are perfect. You can sign an autograph for me! *holds out notebook and fancy glitter pen*
I don't know, germerican. I think gets you in the paper, thus raising you above mediocrity.
there. down to 49 actually. I think I will sleep for an hour and then take the kid to play rehearsal, pick up the other kid, and go look for a new car to replace the dying one.
Thank you, stid. Would you like a personalised photo to go along with the signature? I'll get my people onto it.
Awww, stidmama getting all mushy on us.
Stid, tell whichever kid got his hair cut that he looks WONDERFUL!
Bye, stidmama!
And yeah, the haircut looks great! =)
Okay, I'm off, too! Bye all!
Bye Vicuna!
It's easy to see that stidkid didn't cut it himself.
thankfully!
got the cheese part but can't figure out the country word
bekki - to the cheese, add a consonant and then a charged particle.
Or fe plus where you would catch a bus or train, minus the first letter.
Okay, must go to collect daughter from said place of transport..... Bye for now.
thank you got it
bye Haz.
I'm away too...bye all

Well, I have a cold, the house sale is becoming a big quagmire, and because of the cold running is sunk, but I expect when I feel better...things will seem better too!
I am sorry about the cold and the quagmire! IS the cold because of the weather you are having

i think the cold is because of some germs I got this week. we are back to typical rain in evening and hot sun in the day....
oh.. yes, we are finally warming up a little bit to normal here as well

hi franky.
Hi red
i hope i'll be alright tomorro at work....
hello eveeryone!
Hi madi! Are you out of school for summer yet?
Yes! Finally. I'm so happy to be back to babble. The sad thing is, that I'm just as busy now as I was when school was in... blah
Of course.
I now have 2 hour-long piano lessons a week, and i just started voice lessons. I also babysit and tutor three times a week all day... so, no so called "break" for me :(
Hi red and Hi Madi - haven't seen you for a while
hi jbv.
How are you and fam?
ups and downs, red - today's OK - thanks
I have reached a strange balance in my life - work is so stressful I can't think about it at home, and when I'm at work I'm so busy I can't worry about stuff at home
i don't think that was very clear, but anyway, the point is i'm too busy to worry!
I understand that one JBV....thats often the way things work for me...
and of course, babbling takes my mind off everything
hints for the an words?
an 5 == go through the door: ***er
thanks BR.
fireworks for me at last - off to bed - will be away now until Monday proably so all have a lovely weekend

congrats, Kazzer
thanks BR!
Thanks BR
Hi Rushie. I have a flat tire.
ps did anyone see the noctilucent cloud on night of 17/18 at all?
You do?
what is a noctilucent cloud??
Did you find out why your tire's flat?
Yup. bummer for me
I think clouds blocked my view
I should be fixing it but I have to relax with Babble first
wE had aterriffic thunder bumper, so loud I even shrieked once in fear.
I have 181 words so far
202here...
it is cloud what is visible once the sun had gone just below the horizon - it is mikly white with occasional black streaks which is the cirrus below it - it occurs very high up in the atmosphere
hello all, had loooong nap after my gin n tonic
Just as well you have a flat tire though, the chain on my bike broke... while I was a couple miles down the road
Good job. I only have 136
101 left
GJ peri
was g&t nice - i could do with one of them but no tonic and gin by itself when you are sober is just plain nasty
I doubt I saw it, as the storm was extreme.
anyone want a clue before i go
it was good
I like the taste of gin
but liquor usually makes me tired
have a bottle ofmy favourite gin in the cupboard - saving it for a special occasion
unless the drink is very weak
Yup, nothing like a bit of 40 proof to burn your digestive tract up
what kind of gin is it, Kazzer?
Also peri, I believe that's the desired effect
Navy strength Plymouth gin
Seagrams Black Label is 51%, 102 proof
was tipsy for a wee bit but then to bed for the nap
most stuff is 40 percent but this is 57 which is about 100 proof
never heard of that Kazzer. must be more than 100 proof since what I have is 51 and 102 proof, I just looked at the label
Oh jeez
is Seagrams nice - the Plymouth stuff is almost syrupy with lots of flavour
the 40% stuff does nothing for me
yes the Seagrams is nice, crossy recommended it to me
i have to control my intake of it as it has been known to give me palpitations
I only had one drink
Kazz, be careful then
i will see if i can get it over here
need to check e-mail, brb
Anyway as i have to be up and out by 0630 tomorrow i will go now and see you all Monday.
Well I'm off
188 words and I'm getting a bit brain-fartish after so long of straight Babbling
give me a chance to catch up
i have 40 left, hope to finish.
hello all... anyone know anyone near philly that wants a kitten?
Hello, ts .. I know nothing
I love kittens, but am dealing with a sick cat here. don't know anyone who would want one :(
:(
it is kitten season now
hello br - you know TONS!
yeah it is peri... i just took in a ton of fosters
awww
sorry to hear you've got a sick cat though
they're precious
i'm probably gonna die of cat scratch fever... but they're adorable :)
hopefully she will be fine soon, she is taking her meds in a pill pocket 2x a day
she is the one in my icon
she's beautiful!

hi, dr
Hi Pam
Hi again Red
Jake went to the pool but the bully from his class was there with another kid... it was ugly!
Sorry, DR
sorry about that, DR. bullies are so destructive
Oh awful DR. Hope that doesnt continue all summer. tell Jake we think hes cooler than the bully.
The problem is parents who just sit and watch
LOL Red- he is wise beyond his years and said Mom- we should just go home. we can comeback when he leaves- it isnt worth it
the people managing the pool have some responsibility
I agree, babbler
when I was a kid I was always called giraffe neck by the swimmers at the pool. I do have a long neck, but...
IT is a community pool. The kid was with a family that lives here who did nothing so I said something to the kid.
then a neighbor said something to the kid...
then FINALLY the person he was with took him out of the pool
60 left, need a short break, bbs
Bye Peri
Too much work there, dr... but I am glad the community spoke up
me too

cmon Red-
hello everyone -- just getting back to finish from last night
NAN
Hi everybody. 13 left and time for some help.
I still cant decided if I should go to work tomorro or not. I want to but I live in fear of the day.
and now I am living in the PB.
Why, red?
people should be able to use the pool without being traumatized .... those in charge of the pool should be made aware of the situation if they do not already know
Hi Gramma and Nan
I'm sick, and when I am sick, its a little hard to function entirley properly.
Howdy
Hi, gramma
Hi Gramma! and Cybernan!
OH, that makes sense, red
Agreed BR- It has been noted to the Board of our HOA as of an hour ago
I agree, babbler....

Hi Dorens
I only get 6 sick days a year, so I like to use them sparingly. I am not dying...
That makes GREAT sense
that makes sense Red!

Oh, Dor, that stinks!

oh no r u sick dor?
:-)
poor doren, what is wrong?
oh wildcat.. here's the latest. i seem to have developed a kidney stone... trip is now possibly in danger... will let you know. i'm planning to come anyway
:(
so sorry
yes Owl, on and small river
have heard that kidney stone can be extremely painful
oh no!
time to get supper on -- bbl
this is not my lucky week... unconscious driver plows into me, then what I thought was a UTI (very bloody). now this. yes, considerable pain... doctor is prescribing vicodin, but 'm saving it for the plane ride
wow dor
owie, kidney stones! drink lots of water and cranberry juice...and hi everyone
an accident, too? are you ok?
sorry for your bad week, Dorens
i guess you mean unconscious in the broad sense...
i'm fine... swerved to avoid him just in time, but he hit my front right tire and it was undriveable. (it was ken's car, too. not mine)
good thing the week is nearly over, Dorens
truly he lost consciousness
omg!
wow
oh no! how's Ken feel about his car being smacked?
indeed lbd. very good thing. am drinkingn lots of water... no cranberry juice in the house.. wonder if i should ask ken to pick some up for me.. do you thnk it makes that much difference if i'm on antibiotic?
(where are scrabbler and kje when we need them?)
i'm not sure if there is something in the cranberry juice or if it just something different than water, Dorens.
he's fine about it, this happened to us in november... same car... that time the driver was clearly drunk and we weren't able to swerve enough to avoid really major damage to the car. but neither time were we hurt at all
doren they have not determined if that is what you have?
hi all.
hey owl!!!
thought cranberry juice was good for uti, maybe I should give some to my cat
i know c juice is good for urinary tract in general.
cranberry juice acidifies the urine, which makes it less happy place for bacteria to grow
dawg! i'm supposed to tell you something!
hey nut!!! been meaning to email you
Hubz has had kidney stones, caused from not drinking enough water and having too much sodium and potassium. He had them blasted out a couple years ago
NUTTY!!
not yet owl, they need to do ct scan, but I want to go to austin tomorrow!!! so doc said we could wait till monday if i want to
well i just wanted to tell you i was successful
good job!!!!
dawggy! you been asking - shows UP!!!
that's what i though jes... so it shouldn't affect kidney stones, then should it? and i drink loads and loads of water... i love it
hi nut. what have y ou succeeded at?
promotion dorens
ooooh, has Jade been successful too?
nutis that your winning outfit?
ha ha...we always try dawg, you must be the judge
that's my WINNING outfit
YAY nut!!!
snazzy
i don't think it'd hurt anything; depends on the type of crystal you're forming... some crystals dissolve in acidic urine so it might help
dawg.. are they in his family? i am reading a lot and see that they often are
are you going to podcast this week?
jes, have a question for you re my cat
at least in dogs...don't know what kind of crystals/stones humans get
just did last night dawggy!
there are two types: ones made of uric acid and ones made of calcium
congrats to you, nut
'sup, peri?
Not that i'm aware of, Dorens. He had his first bought when we lived in AZ. he definitely didn't drink enough water! and lots of salty foods.
firewords
mmmm. the calcium oxalate crystals animals get too, they don't much care about urine pH. it's the phosphate crystals that we can dissolve
i have the charged particles , what are the other i words please?
kewl, nut.
yay wildcat!
well done Wildcat
well dor keep me posted ...
ty
my cat has a uti, also slight decrease in kidney function (creatinine 2.6) she is on Baytril for at least ten days. has been peeing lots outside the box.
wtg cat
it words, TO, meaning to say or explain.
let me reit****, the stones hubz had were calcium stones.
once the uti is gone will she stop going outside the box? she has not peed at all today.
usually see those it words with an re in front of them
I hope you won't be miserable if you do choose to make the trip
ty
Congrats, Nut!
googled cranberry .... there are studies that report cranberry juice may increase calcium build-up
also the doc wants her on the Baytril for 6 weeks rather than 10 days because of her kideny function. itsnt that a long time.
wait a minute...are we talking about doren or a cat? doren are yo going outside your box again?!
they usually start using the box again; it mostly seems to be that they associate it with the discomfort of urinating. might try changing the type of litter
LOL, Owl

I am usually the warm one. So I dress lightly. And, we keep the a/c where everyone is at least somewhat comfy. When I get red--the rosacea--then, we get it more cool until I feel better....
so boss comes out of her hidey hole to join in
was you enjoying the fight owl?
and when asst mgr suggested we move the person's seat, she said sure, "she can read her book or whatever she does all day anywhere "
ooooh, them be fighting words for sure!

sorry wrong box
so Min -- done with the school year yet?
s's squashed
go marc go!
gooooooo tri!
only 1/2 of S do4!
so we went car shopping today. anyone have opinions on the Honda Fit?
:-(
go jmc!!!
June 26th is my last day. Then I start summer school.
the S was a BIG tile today
let me ask my son
haven't seen one before, stid. Did you check review sites, like consumer reports, or Vehix?
ANY HONDA is good! Used to sell them. My sister drove one for 17 years
Never heard of the Honda Fit,but Honda's a good car
we are doing that now, tri -- thanks jmc. We need to replace my Sentra ASAP
en6/21, please
thanks horsegal -- we have had good luck with Hondas (I have a 14-year old Odyssey) and Toyotas in the past
en 6/21 is en + yes, **** (word of love)
I just googled the images Honda Fit.Cars are looking more and more like space ships I think. I still like the old fashioned box cars or rectangular cars. I drive a 2004 Subaru Forester, but I do not like it very much.
yw..also great resale. good gas mileage
clue for the re 5, 12 after to give more weapons?
re + mans name
that is REALLY good to know -- we need something big enough to haul a tuba and a 6' kid in the back and economical enough to be a commuter car for Tom who will be the one driving it most often.
hello mrp (((((hugs)))))
That re 5/12 word is re plus ***ald Trump Trifioso.
(((hugs))) hi stid!
the Toyota corolla and Matrix seemed way too small to me.
have that one...hm.
how is lickety's dad doing so far mrp? i heard something about cancer and it made me so sad
stid, get the honda CRV... we are so happy with ours
re + ***2bit, a frequent babbler
we keep replacing our honda CRV with the new model... never giving it up!
Hi all
thanks mrp -- we didn't look at that one yet. We only started looking this afternoon, but I want Tom to have wheels when I start classes again on Monday
Hello Reader951!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
are you teaching all summer long, Min?
hey reader!
my son says they are tiny but economical and well built
lickety sure does seem to have his dad's eyebrows...
ugh, I am completely falling asleep.....with 25 to go!
thanks jmc!
stid, I'll put another vote for the Honda. I have a civic hybrid which is wonderful. Previously I had an accord which brought me thru a bad accident with no injuries
yeah stid, he got cancer... sucks
go trifioso go! *blows loud horn in next room and fills room with coffee aroma*
Hi Min and stid
Honda is the best... have had Honda's since I was 19
so far, all positive reviews! *happy mama look* I'll let Tom know what you-all are saying.
hiya folkses!
He gets to choose the car this time. I chose the minivan... LOL
hey k21!
I keep on changing brands. My first car was a Honda Civic stations wagon.Then I had a Ford Tempo. Then I had a Pontiac.Then I had a Ford Escort. Then I had a Honda Civic hatchback & now the Subaru Forester.
and stid, the honda will never break down! very reliable
that is not too far off what it would take, stid
Hi k21eyes! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
I buy what has a stick for sale at the time
I have only had two cars in my adult life -- my sentra and the minivan. We also used to have a camry that Tom drove.
stid, reviews here: http://tinyurl.com/nxq3ca
Yes, all of my cars have been sticks.Hate automatics
me too min!
well stid you are such a baby I am not surprised!
I prefer manual, but right now can't drive a stick because of the hip. Local lot doesn't seem to have many manuals --
LOL the sentra is 19 years old!
Never had an automatic... gears are best
almost a quarter million miles on the original engine (which failed miserably yesterday) she did a good job for me.
thanks BR!
Teach summer school for just 17 days in July. Wish it was longer though. I have the month of August free.

dent
I like to keep myself busy and it would be more money
darn it!!!
my sister who drove her Honda Accord for 17 years, brought her son home in it when he was born and taught him how to drive in it!!!
yes, I understand the money part -- and the busy, too. your yard doesn't give you enough to do?
Goodbye Marc Freeman! I'll see you tomorrow maybe.
*puts nice chocolate pastry in PB for mrp*
yeah but my cars are fairly old when I buy them
I think I ne4 a nap!
bye marc
Oh,I'm NOT a yard person. That would be my husband
was hoping to teach my kids how to drive in the sentra. But the elder one hasn't earned the privilege yet... and the younger one still has a few years to go.
no was in Munich now in Holland. BA lost my luggage and it ended up in Kiev. Now they are trying to get it back before I go back to the states.
Only thing I like to do in the yard is play with my dog.
I will not, btw, take the elder kid for any more car shopping. He loudly and persistently announced to anyone who was around that he was old enough to drive but his mother wouldn't let him learn! (this did not, of course, ea4 him points today)
I bought my car as a demo in 1991 --- little over 70, 000 miles

I'm stopping at 172 words and 1994 points. Bye to all
