hi all!...the delayed flip happened to me a short while ago as well...thought I was playing a new grid and it was the old one...only took me an hour to realize I was getting an y responses in the chat...
flop
an hour??
and hello
art-o-matic fashion show was fun :)
How many words this grid?
my son went to that tonight
141 rushie
Thanks jmc
cool, jmc. mayhap we crossed paths
so 7
:-)
he was there with his new Republican girl friend that he has yet to be brave enough to introduce to me
half done and slowing
heh. wonder if it'll last.
am I a bad mom if I hope not?
hello
po5
slightly late flip... and darft is half done?????
hey MLF
hey Rushie
dart, that is
good evening everyone
Hey Just
hi justy
hello just
Just, I like the marinara recipe
jmc...been checking out your eggplant casserole recipe but the milk ingredient is strange...can you repeat that pls?
I tend to like more acidic marinades myself
hi westie and thx rushie...try it you'll love it!
Minced onion, garlic, and lime/lemon juice are some of my favourite ingredients :)
it's 1/2 cup milk (i usually beat my egg into it) I will correct the recipe thanks for pointing it out
thx jmc! gonna try it...I know hubs will love it
It is nice and detailed though, most of the marinades we think up are put together with whatever we can find in the fridge and on the spice rack lol
well I have perfected it over the years ( too many to count) and I find it comes out perfect this way everytime
it has been very popular in the chog crowd
did you have fun tonight westie?
need the upper E for NBT...
hi pav...guess I better delve in
yes I did we sat on the front lawn and watched fireworks too
Hi Just and DC et al...
that e sucks
the neighbors had better ones than the pawsox
the r is sucky as well
over 100 words in grid today right?
is this a totally sucky grid again?
the ones at national park tonight were pretty cool
just I was answering the neighbor's cat
141
she came calling lol
141 mlf
west i think this grid is sucky so far lol
no, jilli -- have 82 words so far
thanks jmc
hi jilli

mar -- your icon is beautiful
oh thank you jilli...so is yours!
ty josh
howcum the Canadians are the only ones showing icons for the 4th of July?
ty josh
Hey jilli
strange but glad that it doesn't move here on the chog...find that very distracting lol
can't you see mine :)
I have one...hi, all!
hmmm maybe because I have no vote?
you're just quicker than we are jilli
i vote it's due to Canada's imperial aspirations toward the US :)
HInt to others - click on Jilli's icon
LOL dc!
Hello there bugs
HI Rushie. How go the holidays?
jill that is cute
Good good
imperial lol ...maybe it's the other way around lol
jill because i dont pay remember??
I like that and your story
Got all the wood out back split and stacked
oh yeah dartie now I see it :)
wasn't tqalking about freebies, mlf
i guess that it's Ewok not ewok
that reminds me I have a cousin with a July 4th b'day too
GOod job. Starting Adirondack chairs for your family yet?
thanks, west
i have an uncle who has a july 4th birthday
No, we haven't even unrolled the plans
don't like my story, westie? :( thought it was nice (and mean it too)
just what did dart show you? I want to see it too
Enjoy your leisure time is what I say.
My bike has about 760KM on it and the steering column top bearings went
I didn't read yours yet just but I will now
The bearing ring let one or two out and from riding it they got ground all to hell, so it's incapacitated
I also have a LOT of US family
I have ra6 x 2, btw
i am stalled at 41 i am out poof
he showed his yankee flag...lol (he can't cause he's not paid up) but I imagined it there!
very nice just I'll raise my coffee cup to you
i have ra 6 x 3
How sad. You were really enjoying getting out and about again. I hope it won't take much to repair
bye mlf!
yankee's an insult down here where i grew up.
g'night mlf
I'm using the Canada one white with a red maple leaf
Yeah, but the front tire got a hole poked in it
damn yankee is redundant
So one thing after another made it a project for later
thx westie and here's to you too!
bye mlf
It was an insult in the UK too
sing it, JMC!
too bad rushie
I had rough day at the water park with a birthday party group. IT was fun
well we say Yankee not in the context that you see it as DC ...us Canucks often refer to any US citizen, wherever they live as a yank(ee) yanqui
Yeah, but we did get new spark plugs and wires put on the old Chevy nightmare truck
okay I am crawling to bed - - it's been a rough rough week
Happy Birtyday, to all the Americans
Happy 4th jmc
po6
oh, too bad jmc -- have a happy 4th and onward
it's a term of endearment as far as I'm concerned
happy 4th all *poof*
Happy birthday to the USA in an hour and a half PST
i know it's a common term for unitedstatesian, but i always wince at least inside when i hear it :)
night jmc thx again for the recipe!
po6 x 2
howdy all!!
Hey dee
yeah I can understand that DC...sorry
Hi Dee!
all good, Just :) my issue, not yours
hi rushy; hugs just, mar, dc
hi volley
and Yankee to an New Englander is a source of pride, methinks
howdy dart!!!
hi dee hi
great to see you
i've also never heard it used that way by a North American before
pa 6 x 2
well jilli not to this Red Sox fan lol
thx for the list this morn
hi, dee
indeed so, jilli. my time there made me even more adverse to the term than i was.
oh really? wasn't the south yankees (sorry never got into Amercian history in depth)
howdy freep
nonono, just -- other way round!
no we Southerners use it as a derogatory term for people from the North, especially New Englanders.
oh dear seain I'm sorry New England was not nice to you
but then you didn't meet me
I told everyone Dee to quickly copy your list from yesterday before your icon went poof! I think it was very appreciated! (It was by me!)
good evening babble buddies...been "out of town"...and soooo glad to be back...hope all are well
sheesh, Yankees just can't win (except in baseball)
Boston, specifically, west. i liked he time i spent in Maine.
hello sk welcome back
LOL jilli
morning all...
so what were the southerners called?
they're a land unto themselves
kire
hi skh!
oops..just a try
thanks westford, nice to be back
PB for you rolin
lol west
Southerners. but we're considered ignorant and backward, not least for our speech.
they don't have a name as such, Mar
were you in school in Boston?
hey jili, things good?
but I can think of lots of things to call them
33 to go but stuck now
Southerners were called southerners, I believe.
tapir
oops
innovative rushie..lol
Thanks anike :P
really? oh sorry hated Canadian history too so I'm an equal opportunity NA history hater
dixiecrats (giggle)
no, moved up there to experience a different part of the US. It was a good experience for me on the whole. Gave me a perspective for a US that isn't DC.
that's very deceptive southerners are extremely bright
the dixiecrats hijacked the republicans :/
hahahaha DC...so tired of that stereotype...just had to get over that living in the Middle East...stereotypes SUCK!
yes, but our drawls make many think us stupid :) it's our secret weapon
don't I know it
lol dc
I keep trying to force weaken out of this grid
I love a southern drawl
I luuuve suthun accents
baby, we're just sweeter than the rest LOL...sticky sweet :D
through the years, i've come to conclude that national capitals are more like each other than like the countries they are nominally part of.
west, we're kindred spritis, I swear
I do too as long as I can understand it lol
daughter's new bf calls me ma'am all the time
Good point dc!
I think it is actually the fact that we speak just slightly slower than the rest of the country...more time to gather thoughts...than just spit them out
i keep trying to make aspic... in the grid
So bugs
I take that as a high compliment jilli
*spirits*
After you just faded out for a couple minutes
the only English speaker i could not understand was from Mississippi. I've even had conversations with Scots speakers from Aberdeen w/out trouble.
Did you register that we got the old green nightmare Chevy running?
and Southern courtesy is so charming
yes, skheiny, that too
the south is more european
ma'am is meant with respect...most of our choldren know how to say "yes ma'am/sir" than "no"
then we must be kindred spirits by rote jilli, cause I've always felt westie and I to be kindred (hope westie feels the same way)
wa x2, we x4, wo x2 -- anyone know what I'm missing?
my mom was a southern belle and my dad was a yank; made for interesting, spirited conversations at dinner LOL
well, quite so, just
I have ra 7 and so 7. Anyone have the other 7?
I'll bet it did dee ( hi dee )
It registered and I imagined you driving it around the back field at 80 k. Had to let go of the image and get into the grid before I worried... lol
:)
hugs west
Oh no, there is no way in hell I'd drive it
I do just !!
es 7
Like it is possible to lift the front driver's side of the body right off the frame, it's not attached at all
we x 5, cybernan
i got a 45-min lecture from a woman in the T in boston after saying 'excuse me, m'am, are you alright?' after i'd stepped on her foot. she heatedly explained how she wasn't old enough to be a m'am. I replie that where i grew up we were taught to call strangers and elders as sir or m'am, m'am.
OMG VolleyMD..mine too..and I think I got the best of both worlds
that set her off again :)
hugs dee and jilli and just and seain and what the heck..hugs to all
btw westie...I'm so glad that it didn't work out for you to visit our fair city this summer...the weather has been just atrocious :(
g'night west :)
ty anike
dc, that woman was just uncouth
are you leaving westie? chat is going to fast for my pea brain
am I being dismissed seain?
If I got called "sir" I'd be just fine with it.
ah, typical of the Bostoners from my experience.
just, we have had the same awful weather
i'm apparently confused, as usual, west :)
But then again, it's city people for you
ridiculous comment dc... great sign of respect... had to refer to my mom and dad... yes, sir, no sir, etc... definitely made me respect them... still use sir and maam...
nite west...sorry the visit was soo short for me./.always enjoy your company...peace to you...and a happy 4th
I'm just feeling very happy to be here
aww well it was horrible tonight again so hope that wasn't the case there at your friends'
I did a no-rain dance before we went over lol
ditto that west :)
politeness...I fear...is the last bastian of the South
that's kinda cold methinks..Dee :(
rained just before the party and then it was perfect
Man we are getting skunked on our summer over here
oh lovely to hear west!
well, my persona used to change when I went back to NYC -- I could get as sharp as any native and use my elbows in a crowd
no... ditto feeling very happy to be here... so sorry if I implied something else
It poured rain down for like 3 days solid a couple weeks ago
where are you Rushie?
You make a good point dc. I like this kind of informal sharing of experiences and opinions from all kinds of areas. It makes me feel less like I am likely to offend someone when I know how others interpret things.
I need to pay closer attention to chat
pass some down her Rushie :D
I lit a fire with kindling that was out in the rain, and lit a fire with it
rushie -- the weather here has been just divine recently! Had a lovely swim in the sea today!
well Dee...somedays the words are more important and other days the chat is!
Good ol' daddy said "Damn kid, you got some Indian in you after all!"
ok jili...so we're all jealous now LOL
oh jilli how nice
ty, bugsaw. though i also must be aware how people intend things, and to react appropriately.
And I live on Vancouver Island
lol true mar; that is so true
but north of Salt Spring
oh how pleasant...Dallas is burning!
have a vi 4/7... any idea what the other one is?
(rushie, Imean)
yes jilli...you've been having great weather out there the last several summers...lucky and enjoy
Yes, north of Salt Spring
Around where Courtenay is
vi4.11
vi 4/11
ty ty
oh no, just -- last summer was a bummer
buy me a coke, nan :P
And bugs/dc, I think that the more you have casual conversations with people, the more you get to know the fun side of them
not so up on my BC islands :( blush
indeed so, rushie :)
I don't like having to be ridiculously formal, I prefer the happy-go-lucky top of the brain kind of things people talk about
The expression that southerners have that always confused me is yo'all. First time I heard it I wasn't sure who the lady was taking to and if it was me, I didn't think I was fat enough to be referred to in the plural. We both laughed our heads off when she explained it to me. I was about 17 then
y'all
i speak Spanish at least half the day at work. My Spanish feels more formal to me than my English, even though i use similar modes in both languages.
oh Rushie...for us "southerners" it is habit...we are taught from a VERY young age to use the "formal" manners
really DC? spanish?
y'all - you all fully written out. So nice to have a 2nd person plural. Some areas use it for singular also, which is just wrong to me.
yes, pav, i grew up bilingual
nan -- ty for the v4/11
Finally got the es 7 Ty cybernan
btw I'm > halfway and still the upper E eludes me...probs the es7
Jilli, the Jazz fest has been rained on everyday since it started June 30th :( feel so bad for all the locals and tourists
Yes sk, I wasn't disagreeing with being formal, I just like the spontaneous talking of the chog
we6/42 ;)
Pav - the upper e is the es7
oh, what a shame, just!
It's the short term memory of people I like to pick through for all the happy thoughts and things that happened recently
thanks anike...how terrible for me...;(
The rest can be filed away neatly for thinking about later
podrÃa comunicaros en español si os gustarÃa ;)
how can there be 11 k words..*sigh*
thx jilli for the we6
how awful, just about the rain
another es7? Is it a queer as the one yesterday?
I see you have a special character keyboard setting dc
comunicarlo?
well, of course! Rushie...the chog is one thing...must be a little speedier...all I'm saying is that when spoken to..."yes" and sir/ma'am just kinda flows out of the mouth...like "butta"
comunicaros - communicate (with y'all - informal) that form is not used in most of the Americas - i speak Spanish Spanish.
I'm not getting it jilli
my lifestyle dictates a more madame, monsieur as to where I live :)
they use that in Costa Rica too DC...visit there frequently...they have a strange mix of the formal and informal...
Yes, I think that it is nice that proper manners are ingrained into minds
But sometimes there needs to be a non-formal mode
interesting, skheiny, and good to know
never hurts to be polite...at least in my dealings with the gen pop :D
and of course the mademoiselle :)
But the city folk are fairly... not understanding
oh, indeed so, rushie about formal/informal modes
skh -- I'd love to enjoy your icon but it's much too big -- see my profile for a link to resize photos easily
ra6 x 3
oooh, what a fun oa plural
ce4 and cr5 - what am I missing?
no Rushie they are not...living in Philly for 20 yrs taught me that when I move there from Houston...but eventually everyone around me caught on :D
ci 4
ah...comunicarse o comunicar...my Spanish is much too sketchy..only took a year as a freshman in college...my TA was Puerto Rican and she insisted I learn to spell my name correctly...a semester later and with a solid B in hand 'cuz I wouldn't spell my name "correctly" I refused to continue...
thank you jili...I will
Argh I keep trying to force oasis from the grid
i like the pa6.21 word
Thanks dart
try the plural rush
Got 'er
something which bugs me is that if I feel I'm in someone's way I step aside -- and the band of oblivious teenagers let me -- so do adults who should know better
pa 6/21 x 2
it is from my trip to paris last year...the most beatiful statue in the museum "L'Orangerie"...it almost mase me cry it was soooo beautiful to me
pav that would almost be funny if it wasn't so sad
oa, os, ot -- missing?
i switched to chinese in HS since i already had the spanish.
Yes jill I know just what you're talking about
Some people think that they own their path
os x 2
2 os's
I'm missing one r word can't think of anything
Driving home from school kids are all over the school
skh -- did you see my post about your icon?
jilli.... i have been deliberately NOT doing that...esp for the band of teenagers...i will stop on a narrow pavement and make them go around me..lol
L'Orangerie = a laranjeira in portuguese - orange grove?
I actually held a whole class in arguing with her...the other students were either amused or could care less...we didn't learn much that day 'cept AAI wasn't going to budge...
have 19 r's how many?
Big diesel one-ton truck, they should learn that the truck will win
no jili...sorry been in the UAE...missed out on soo much babbling
AAI? = I
Need to straight pipe the thing
you left off an accent mark or such, pav?
have os 4 -- is the other a 4 as well?
hard to catch up :D
Drop 'er in 4 hi and brakestand, give them some nice black diesel smoke in the face
yes nan
20, dart. one from the left middle, 19 fromthe top
Is anybody listening? :(
20 r's
ty
ra x 11, re x1, ri x 1 and ro x 7 - missing?
yes, that dreadful accent over my last name, first syllable...I ended up fashioning a two or three inch line over the whole last name, she didn't approve
that's 20, anike
I can't help myself in standing aside -- so ingrained in my youth. Ditto when I hold a door open for someone and they sail through haughtily. I mumble "thank you" to them.
ty dart
ra X 12
Yeah jill
I like the simple life
hi everyone..havent played in a long time :)

I don't like deliberately creating stress, then bitching and whining my ass off about it

4 left!
not being a sports fan is not just an Australian thing....it can be a Canadian thing or any country thing! :)
very unaustralian, tho just. i am a disappointment to my whole family! : )
lol you poor dear but I commiserate (sp?)
i once shocked a phone survey person by being unable to name a single member of the australian cricket team.
lol well they need all points of view to have an "on target" survey!
i can't name a cricketer either! LOL!
well neither can I !
thank you, just. and i am shocked mrp. just when i though i was alone!
I am selective about my love of sport... they have to be human!
not even sure what cricket is *blush*
lol. well i am not the person to ask, just.
and the cricket team here are neanderthals!
Mar, they hit a very hard ball with a 4x2
overpaid neanderthals, mrp.
then they run after the ball! just like dogs do!
I used to be an avid baseball fan but then MLB (Major League Baseball) fu**ed my beloved Montreal Expos and now don't wanna know
are they on horses when they play cricket?
oh Mar!!! I commiserate!! Hate it when a team is screwed
1 left... puff, puff, puff.
or is that croquet?? geez some commonwealth citizen I am, eh?
no Mar, but they are thinking of their next 'ride' whilst playing
ok, doorbell! I promise I will come back and let you know that I am ok!! OK?
not sure I followed that?
oh crap MrP ...you better
go go go kanga go go go!
aussie cricketers known for their off field sporting activities, just. ; )
got it! thought i would never see fireworks again. thanks for the encouragement, just.
well most pro sport err people are known for their off field, ice whatever antics, wherever
wtg kanga!!

hmmm. here's a nice bottle of mclaren vale shiraz....
aha i knew it...jk justy
vale shiraz? please enlighten me!
not sure it is going to mix with the antibiotics, but here goes. can't tempt you just?
mclaren vale is a wine growing region near adelaide in south australia, just.
lol love my gin n tonic dartie!
especially in summertime, such as it is (it's sucking big time)
been nice here...no rain tho ( we need it)...just a little cooler than norm
come on over, just. we're having a rather pleasant winter. sunny and a top of 17 (celcius) today.
ahhh I see wine....mmmm we've finally started getting aussie wines here...they're big on french wine here in la belle province
we're having our 3oth anniversary jazz fest now and weather has been sucking badly, to say the least
wine in hand, i'd better go and cook dinner for the remaining kid and poorly man...
used to be that there were 2 seasons here...winter and july. But now...july is winter too :(
bon apetit kanga
sydney's cool enough for me, just. i grew up on the equator!
see you all next grid! thanks for the help.
bye kanga
well c'mon....it's the height of winter there.....the height of winter here would be -35C
same here justy
I know dartie btw....
you going back to NFLD this summer?
went in late apr/early may
ooo must have been quite chilly
and it was snowing when we landed in st john's
that must've been heartfelt
highs were 3-6 c...and lows were near zero to 3 c
not sooooo bad...as long as not windy
oh...and windy lol
ouch lol
would so love to go....everyone I know who's gone just loves it there music or not..
and i walked to and from the hotel to the bars every night....almost 4 miles round trip
but right now I;ve gotta get my foot back in shape to be able to go anywhere
wow that's a trek
raw beauty+very nice people+great music=fun vacation
was your wife with you doing that trek?
lol
why would you do that...taxi's expensive?
no..she took a trip with a girlfriend...a 12 day cruise around italy in the mediterannean
hi all, dino-son here. Hows the grid?
so i went to nfld lol
hi dino
i just need the exercise....and like to walk
ooo separate vacations dartie?
well i couldnt go with her...then her girlfriend would have to find another person to room with her on the cruise
sorry ...blush...I do separate vacations all the time :)
did she have a wonderful time..must have been beautiful
i get a week more vacation than she does..so i have to take some without her anyways
well I think that's a good thing...
she had a great time...took about 1000 pics...she said she was scouting it out for us for a future vacation
makes for interesting conversations and other bonding ways ;)
sounds great!
does your wife work too?
she likes nfld too..but i dont think she wants to go there every year...so it works for me to go there without her...and i've made some friends there..and can even go into a few bars and they ask me if i want "the usual"
nice :)
yes..she works more hours than i...i work weirder hours than she
do you have any kids?
nope
smart!
didnt get married til i was 37
my only child...a son and his wife have said that they will not have any children...I think they might have something there ...even though I'd love to be a grandma
but it's their life and i cannot tell them how to live it
was it you that went to the US for their wedding?
nothing wrong with marrying at a later age
yes in Las Vegas last August
i thought i remembered someone going there
I was 28 when I married...not young not old
you still on FB?
not really...I'm still a member but never really go there
hi all just back after changing my icon.

subfolders at bottom
not finding sub folders :(
being an ATC do you get reduced rates?

LOL
lol
bbl
Morning all....
good morning, H. pretty quiet here.
hi BabRab!
and red and evy1
helllo
are you up late bab or up early?
up early
and a very very happy july 4th to you and all my american compatriots
Hi BR, and Just 1. BR you are up early. like 4 or 5 am?
I am not up early...I have been up all night as is my wont
I am an insomniac .. mostly just up
Oh horrid. I am a good sleeper, I admit.
me too babrab and my hubs will be up and preparing to go to work in about 6 min 45 secs :(
lucky you red...covet it
I don't know why, as I worry a lot and all, but I think the excersie etc makes it hard for me not to sleep.
i used to sleep well but alas that's in the past
July 4th a bad day for turkeys , but a good day for BBQs...... enjoy the day America...Happy 4TH
Bad for Turkeys?
well red, I've discovered in my old age, that worrying is so counterproductive....what's gonna be is gonna be and worrying ain;t gonna change nothing
so why bother
Its a great philosophy, but I still worry.
well that will only do damage to you red :(
yes. I know. its my fault, that and coffee.
in the end we'll all end up in the same place and nothing will mean anything so why worry? be Happy!
yes coffee and gin n tonic too :)
its just the way I am. It doesnt prevent me from anything, so I think its ok, doesnt keepme up at night etc.
No alcohol, I just dont like it.
I love it (well just gin) and some liquers like Bailey's and Kaluha :)
and with that I wish all my American cousins and best friends......Happy 4th !!!
as you can see my icon reflects that :)
think I'll shut up now and let you babble in peace ;)
Oh sorry, I was distracted by news.
thank you, Just. the archives tell a tale that is quite troublesome to me
the archives?
Can you elaborate BR?
could but won't
Should I look?
Aside from what I read in my local daily I don't access news...the media has become uncontrolable
just won't buy into it
what the hell is going on with babble i dont like tha nw page?????????????
??? what exactly are you babbling out?
lol ok it fixed itslf it was very funky at first sorryu
BR, were you talking abotu the chat log?
no the whole page
G'd Morning Babblers! Nice grid, down to 7.
down to 32 here, and distinctly considering a nap. but I just thought I'd say to you first :)
Oooh, down to 6. Mornin' Ata Hari! Naps are fabulous. :)
morning, all. I'm missing one 7. have ra7 and so7
they certainly are!
es 7/32
Mornin' Angel, ARB. Why is it always 4's and 5's with me? ***sigh***
guessed it had to be that e!
Very Spanish sounding word IMO
But I looked it up, and it's some type of perennial grass.
got it , ty
Go ATa Hari!
nap time now I think. love to Uni! and hugs Lori muchly :)
Hi, I danced around my last word for half the grid, the anagram of the verandahs
I'll tell her you said Hi. Sleep tight.
byee Ata
Hi all again, I am watching news on Michael jackson...very shocking the lives of the rish and famous.
lol Lynx, congratulations!
hi Red
hi
hi infernal
HOW ARE YOU ALL?
sorry about caps lock
Good TY Infernal. Anyone want anything before I go?
Not yet Thanks. I'm down to 4, so surely I can pry them out. In theory....
I just started
Have fun. Bye all
bye
Enjoy 'yer eve and sleep tight Lynx.
Morning everyone
Mornin' carlee
hows u lori?.....are u having our monsoon of late?
Hi Carlee
I've pretty much mildewed, and had to Google a pic of the sun.....
hi there Herin...adopt a new country for the day?
today we have sun..mind its only about 12C
It's 17 here, and teh t-storms are passed by now, so sun is (I hope) trying to come out.
we had 3 days of over 80 F weather..i believe THAT was summer
I thought 4th of July I would
cool... thats really very nice :)
I was not in the right head space for Canada day
either was I and I live here....the weather was s*** so we hid most of the day and watched Bones
awww Carlee. But that is good distraction
i s'pose
( are we liking today's grid at all?)
It's a gooder carlee. I whipped down to 8 on the first sweep.
Not sure yet I have just started.
is wondering how Scrabbler is ever going to forgive me for accepting wild bunnies to eat
why wouldn't she?
Well we are doing two of the right things. These are pests that destroy the land and we are quiet broke and will accept meat
she's an educated woman...and she knows she does not hold the monopoly on who eats what in this world..and I presume at some point she studied aussie history and how bunnies created havoc many moons ago
why does Scrabbler have to know what you eat?
not to mention if you love animals eating wild bunnies is really way better than eating factory farmed chicken or pork where the poor things spend their whole lives in horrible conditions
Hursy I do tend to try and buy organic stuff.
organic is about not having chemicals and whatnot - doesn't necessarily reflect anything about the humane aspect.
Good morning/day kids! Happy Birthday to the USA!
and the organic stuff here is also free range with some products. i tend to aim for free range
good morning all - how is the grid today?
Good day, Scrabbler
Happy 4th Scrabs *~*~#~*~* <---liner representation of fireworks
Hi Wolvie
of course i have no idea what australia requires label-wise, but in the US, free range only means slightly less horrible conditions, not good ones.
linear even..sheesh..lori is still around right...she's contagious again
Yes, people can eat what they want.
Hi Wolvie
hi there wolvie
Hi Scrabbler. Sorry for eating your bunnies cousins
hey scrab ,carlee, babble, hursh, fern - everyone!;-)
oh..hi BR..missed u there
I was just snuggling Miss Bea Bunny
Ok. Thank you snuggle for me too please.
I have to work from 9:30-11:30 to see sick kids and we must get out of the office before the huge parade blocks us in
Hah! There WAS a ps word. ***faints with joy***
Mornin' everybody I missed.
hey lori - and ty, i will look for one
thank you lori
TY, Lori. They are muscles in the pelvis.
and on that pelvic note...I have to get myself going...want to check out farmer's market then I have a house that looks like 100 teenagers partied in....( but they didn't )
have fun carlee
vi4 and ... what's the other v?
another vi 4
Did anyone like yesterday's grid? I had a miserable time getting to half way.
Have Fun carlee
Hi ARB
Shalom everyone
Hi ARB no go on that grid
Hurshy, how are you? And how old is Wesley now?

I was getting vegan chocolate
hi herin
whew it was hard to catch up on the chog!
hi all
hi jmc, happy 4th
hi jmc
HI JM
ty annie same to you and wolvie
and whomever else is here and I am missing
jmc, how is your mother doing?
HUG I read about you not so stellar week
I saw your note -- yes it was a really bad week for sure
She was pretty good last night when I went to see her
things going better now jmc?
we think she may move out of the hospital to an interim placement and then home
jmc, that is good to hear, takes the pressure off somewhat
better wolvie
that's good news jmc
ty it is nice to have the chog's support
:-)
this seems to be a star war grid
hah! so it does
I went and bought Vegan Chocolate today and got one for a vegan friend. Small thing is I think she has a girl crush on me. Which is cool but I am not single
did you taste it?
eating my lot now
I was checking e-mail and the office's voicemail (no kids that I need to makes rounds on). Hi JM--what happened to Mom?
how is it?
Its pepperment and its not bad
I didn't want to say on fb but she lost her last mind with a UTI
UTI's are awful
whoa jmc
poor thing. Make sure she has lots of Cranberry juice and if she can cranberry pills
especially since they apparently reguarly cause dementia in the elderly -- which us regular slobs are not told
Uti, eh? I'll make a note of that. ty
jmc, I hope your Mom is on an antibiotic.
she is in hospital with antibiotics and antipsychotics
and cranberry juice
I am, amongst other things, missing an o - I have oa 5, and 2 or 4's. what am i looking for?
i have yet to find an o so I am no help here
jmc, and acidopholus which is a vitamin. sometimes antibiotics can cause vaginal problems which acidopholus will deter.
Poor thing.
well, for one o, remove a letter from a sitting for a Picture, for another remove a letter from a movie award
hi everyone!
the other i have sounds like the island in the desert
hi boggle
hi beach
ty wolvie
hi beach
squeeel. I just found chocolate whale snot
clue please for the l word?
err - I guess that is good fern. ;-)
chocalate tofu?
ich
welcome to Hawaii wolvie
lol jmc
oh - rofl - NOW i get you
Yep
did you get your L
yes, after a duh moment, ty
that doesn't appeal to me and I love tofu
Nasoya http://www.nasoya.com/nasoya/
It is awesome for me since I can't have cheesecake
oo i have been making cheesecake from tofu for years
it is really quite good
eeeewww (sorry)
now if only I could get it in aus.
Wolvie it is eww but so is dairy intolerance
((JM's Mom)) Any serious illness or being hospitalized can make an elderly person confused.
what in particular was your expression of disgust pointed
oh I know fern, but I just had to get that out
she is less confused now than she has been
but she was way past confused before we took her to the hospital -- she was seeing two legged rats outside her second story window
Good, jm, so she may very well return to her baseline. How old is she?
she was claiming they were coming in her room and picking her up and throwing her down
wow, jmc
she is 95
Trust me I do not like tofu as a favourite.
i maintain that owie is a word
wow again jmc -
Wow JMC
sure is in my book ;-)
i will see if I can find my tofu cheesecake recipe -- it is as good a real cheesecake
anyway it has really been a rough week (sigh)
I sure hope it goes much better for you and your Mom
Alright, ids, I must leave for the office despite the holiday. We are available for sick kids and it is always interesting to see which parents demands an appt on Sundays and holidays.
keep up the good work scrabs!
((JM)) We all dread taking care of aging +/or ill parents. My parents just turned 78.
JMC that would be nice.
bye scrabbler
jmc, This week will be better since your Mom is stabilized and I hope she stays well
Scrabbler pardon me for asking but how old are you?

I will be 50 in September!
Ok. I am 32 this october and my dad turns 70 next year

I have IBS and had my first really bad attack for ages last night. Now scared to eat and starving at the same time
Oh poor Katie
oh man - that is terrible katie
katie, be careful of what you eat today...hope you feel better soon
obviously it's not something I like at any time but she has been planning her party for ages. i'm going to drive and not eat and hope I can get through it
katie, can you drink tea?
and bless her she would understand if I phoned but I don't want to let her down.
Oh that is quite a good idea annie. I don't usually drink it but we** with sugar in might be a good idea
Katie, it will at least calm your hunger a bit
hubby has been great, it's the first time I have been this bad since we met and he has been really understanding
katie, as you would with him
55 left and I must be off to do some errands - everyone have a great day!

sorry jai I only have 2 ra4's so cant help you there
I have 4 but without list no way to tell. Babble also gets cranky and will either accept a word then eliminate it when you turn your back or insist it's not valid for 5-6 hours and you are pulling your hair out, then take it. Does anyone know if anyone posted a list?
hurshy posted a list in BabAnon

Hello Annie!
She is baking for all us ungrateful wretches. We are waiting for the weather to get nice so we can go biking, go to the beach or have a water balloon fight. I brought the ammo!
have greyed the top r and only 4 ra4's jai
lol re the balloon fight
glad to say it has cooled a tad here from 32 to about 27.
I had a bunch of left over balloons from our water balloon fight in first year of university and knew the perfect boys to throw them at. The boys on my Dad's side and I had a fight with some of them last year. We just did a practise balloon each to get a handle on everyone's style.
We are in a fogbank of dreariness :( Woke up at 7 to bright sun, went back to bed, got up at 9 and couldn't see the neighbours.
you had better watch out for Lori as she has some serious artilery in the balloon dept.
She uses spit balloons :(
eewww
I have a feeling Lori will get involved...She may not know it yet though :)
lol, do try and get some pics if you have a waterproof camera!
Good grid today by the way if you have any babble time.
good morning, could I get clue for es7, please?
Happy 4th
I monkeyed the es 7...thinking of a clue
I doubt there is even a camera, let alone waterproof!
es + I am ****ial to chocolate ice cream and vowel
es 7 -- add 9to 5s dolly *****n
Fireworks for this Fourth!!!! I was missing an ro, not an ra....that was the trouble! I will sit here and clue if you want me to....

Born on the Fourth is a different kind of "kick"
Interesting piece of trivia.....if Tom Cruise had been born 24 hours later, then he would have been 'Born on the Fourth of July'!!!!!!
any help for the N words?
I have the one a dog does.
Happy fireworks day! I need help with the last two ro words: ro 4/4 (the 4th one) and the ro 5/10 ( a plural?)

I see I was typing words into the chat instead of my list. You may find me in the PB catching up on lunch and breakfast.
;)
I have returned. Geesh. Don't you hate how one chore begets another?
Just reading back in the chog. I LOVE the movie Independence Day with Will Smith. It's corny as hell, but I just love "save the earth from impending destruction" flicks.
it doesn't get more patriotic than that ;)
I love it when he punches the alien in the face and says, "Welcome to Earth!"
Chores are like that!
''Now that's what I call a close encounter''!!!!!!
''I just wanna get up there and whoop E.T.'s ass''!!!!!
LOL
"...We will not go quietly into the night!"
wow i monkeyed a lot of Ks and have no idea what any of them mean
''You'll never get to fly the space shuttle if you marry a stripper''!!!!
I think you folks can tell how many times I have seen that movie
LOL! It's not too obvious, movieman.
i think a lot by the number of exclamation points you put on the lines ;)
I just think they're good lines, leslie

Yahooooooo! When was he born? What is his name? Details please.
Wiooooo Hiooooo!
yayay dorens!
yesterday morning at 6:30.. no name yet (same as Phoebe-- they need to decide, based on who he is), 6'12" 19 inches.. beautiful, looks a lot like her, she adores him, but came happily with Ken and me to Gloucester yesterday afternoon for parade and fireworks. He is very very alert and sweet tempered, i kind of like him
And Mama is doing OK too?
good morning - nice to come in on happy news - congratulations, dorens!
flying blind, 50 to go
she even slept over at our bed and breakfast and went to another parade this morning and didn't miss her mama at all... and yes, mama is a trooper... nice quick labor and delivery, she slept yesterday and feels great. thanks jbv
A med school classmate of mine is at Brigham, member of Partners Health Care. Internist.
Sounds great, dorens!
What a relief! Everyone is doing well!
that's where jeremy did his internship & residency and is now on staff at a clinic there.. internist too, but mostly academic. maybe they know each other
I will e-mail you with info. My friend is in clinical informatics.
cool. would be interesting if they did know each other-- 6 degrees of separation at work, always
ps5 anybody?
add three vowels, dan
ps + three vowels
ty, dan and to

woo hoo firewords! thanks TO and all cluers
Hi Owl, Seain, Dan
congrats, dan!
hello, scrabbs
oh, scrabbs, i changed bun-bun's food back, and he's doing better again. :)
so, i'll stick with that brand going forward
which food do you use now, seain?
Yahoo Dan!
I think I told you that I use Oxbow---high fiber, low calcium pellets, in limited amts.
Nutriphase Gold, which is what he had before
Geez, cloud hide sun and it gets chilly.
oh, what a luxury in the SUmmer that
I think the recommendation is 1/8 cup per 4 lbs per day.
i give him unlimited, but only refill when he's eaten most of it, plus timothy
When I had rabbits, I switched to a non-pellet diet, using veggies. they got so much more healthy. The reading I did explained that pellets were developed for lab animals...
It is only in high 60's so we need the sun today to stay warm. I will do yard work soon and then sweat though.
Read www.rabbit.org.
will do, ty
That is the House Rabbit Society web site.
75 and breezy here
I got a great deal on new mattress & box spring set today at a warehouse outlet sale---70% off so $199 ($217 with tax) instead of $698. I got the second last set.
can you transport it?
wonderful, scrabbs
Great, Scrabs!
The warehouse guys placed it on my roof rack and they cannot tie it down (liability issues) but I have all of my kayak gear in the car---straps etc and did that all by myself. I even took everything down and placed items in my garage until my nephew can help tomorrow. The set is for him actually.
sorry i cannot help it, i am a logistician by trade
Don't you love finding bargains?!
I am very logical and analytical too--always planning ahead.
i do! anyone have the ta 6 after the anteater?
bottom A - ak4, aw5 and...
plural, TO
TY, Seain, those are my first 2 from that A.
doh! ty!
aw4, ty :)
Scrabs, I had seen the House Rabbit guidelines, but our bunnies were just not thriving. Going over to Hay and Veggies made an ubelievable difference--i still have the veggie guidelines on my fridge and Zippy past awhile ago! Anyway, I won't feed pellets again
Very limited pellets, and mostly hay/grasses is best for house bunnies.
Great that you were able to get the mattress and boxspring home and I am glad the nephew will be around to help!!
We cleaned up his room last Sunday and he asked for a full mattress as a step up from twin size.
ke 4,5,4, ki 4,4,4,4, what am i missing ? I have the KOs
I don't blame him, LOL!
His longtime, best friend, a Marine, is home this weekend so they are having fun together. Translation: alcohol consumption.
I recall from this am: ka x 3, ke x4, ko x4
LOLOL, scrabs
no, ko*2, can't be 4
could be ko3 maybe
and no KA at all so far, and i'm short only 1 K
popping in and out - I have the k's as follows: ke x 3, ki x 4, ko x 4
ke/8, pl, ke4/8.
Yes, JBV is right--I recalled 3-4-4 but got the vowels mixed up, sorry!
ki4/8, 4/9, 4/6x2
Alright, it's time for yard work! BBL
sorry last ki is /8 x 2
two ke 4/8 - one is actor ke** dullea, one is songwriter Jerome
bye scrabs
yall's Ks don't match mine at all. are we playing the same grid?
i tend to be in my own little world, i like it here...
ke 4 8 ke 5 18 ke 4 8 ki 4 8 ki 4 9 ki 4 8 ki 4 8 ko 4 8 ko 4 9 ko 4 8 ko 5 18

HI, all, happy 4th! Anyone here play at Chihuahua? The words I've learned here are very useful there, it's kind of fun and short, changes daily, two levels. http://chi.lexigame.com/
ty for that, rbud.. have never tried it
enable is loopy. it accept se6 but not its synonym, reversing the syllables.
how enable of it
that is odd, I know that's a word!
seain, a bit of help desk please? in vista, i cannot find ms office to allow me to make shortcuts on the desktop
strange indeed!
start menu>all programs
oh, wait, it is a word, just not in this puzzle
well i neve remember its accepting it
you should find either an MS office folder, or individual apps, which you can right-click drag
seian no menu option
puter just restored to factory settings
you don't have a Start button?
i do
click on that. no Programs nor All programs in it?

8^)... Hi, jmc
hi pam
hello. pam
*places a pot of vegan wheat-gluten 'meatballs' and rice in tomato sauce in the PB*
ich dc are you punishing someone in particular?
hi all - happy independence day to my fellow Americans
i think they're tasty and the sauce has garlic and basil and salt and pepper and olive oil and parsley and red pepper
ty tea, and to you !
hi tnc
Hi, TNC!
sauce sound fine but I will pass on the pasty fake meat
I buy a brand of "meatballs" that I like a lot, dcs...
I would go vegan, but I think my family would revolt
I sneak stuff in sometimes, but hubby would miss his red meat
these are Nathan's - they're a frozen product
i have yet to find a fake meat that I like
fair enough, jmc :)
It's not Nathan's. Or Boca... I'll think if it...
*of it
i need one last c word -- I have ce 4 and ci 4
cr5
ty wild
yw
try morningstar farms meat products...quite good
yes, those are quite good, especially the bacon and sausages, candyce
i like quorn for chicken products
I love tacos made with the crumbles, too
I need crossy and his bacon :-(
Tom has 5 lbs of bacon in the freezer, and half a lb in the fridge, jmc. would you like some?
pls I can'tbuy bacon because I would cook and eat it all at one sitting!
i made a nice bacon stir fry a few weeks ago for him.
ummmm breakfast...it's only 1 pm here..I have eggs?
*contributes bread for toast*
bacon and eggs and pancakes make a great lunch
are there any SL words?
anyone have maple syrup all I have is honey and molasses
i have Grade B maple syrup
*flips the pancakes*
no dc
works for me dc!
ty, zooz
anyone for mimosas?
whew finally got the cr5!
yes please, pav *passes a bottle of Korbel*
nice addition pav *holds up empty glass*
I was hoping someone had the champs...I only have enough glasses for twenty...
plenty of OJ though...
go easy on the oj!
yay, mimosas! thanks, PAV!
there is bacon, eggs and pancakes too rbud -- help yourself
and don't break the glassware...(please?)
I have some fresh blue berries...organic at least ...for the pan cakes...was thinking making bluebarry muffins though,,
or blueberry muffins...
I could also make some scones...
nice icon, rbud!
blueberry pancakes with maple syrup is divine!
I love scones!
yum, sounds great! - and I'm even quite willing to try dcseain's concoction (former vegetarion here)
my sister has a recipe for rosemary scones!
ty, pam :)
and for those watching their cholesterol...oatmeal...
*cooks up some grits for the feast*
Hello again. I am taking a break from gardening and am getting rehydrated
ooo grits! lovely
I like bran muffins... and raspberry corn
hi, scras
thankfully no cholesterol in virtual goodies, lol - but I like oatmeal, too
*scrabs
bring up a glass pav is making mimosas
Are we having a food fest?
yep!
I am having sugar-free popsicles
we have bacon, eggs, pancakes, scones, blueberrys, oatmeal and grits
so enough for the carnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike!
I turned the thermostat down from 82 to 80 last evening and I'm pleasantly cooled without getting too cold...and the poopies are liking it as well...Since it's over 100 outside I'm always cooler indoors without being frozen at the 70's as at work
I have raspberries and blueberries and can make buckwheat pancakes
I will bring the sangria--ruru is not here to make fun of me
pam..I has meself some sangria in the single serving "bottles" last week...I'm with you there...
ooo what do you put in your sangria pam?
this is turning into quite the brunch, yummy!
help with the other v word-- I have vi4/7
vi4/11
I have sweet and white potatoes for home fries
Oh, cool, pav!
A room with a vi4
looks like I have a salmon coming my way! ty rbud
I like oranges and limes--and whatever fruit I might feel like throwing in...
Rampart is the dictionary.com Word of the Day today
lox anyone?
Are we busting them down, dcs?
Yes, jmc!
we had a room with a vi4 of Lake Erie while we were in Cleveland. Got to see a storm come in off the lake, which was neat.
**and the rockets red glare.....**
I think we are looking at the red glare of the rockets over them pam
I have 30 tomato plants growing and some tomatoes already.
Oh... I don't "do" the anthem... sorry
the squirrels have had all of my tomatoes so far
Now I remember: O'er the ramparts we watched...
My squirrels have a daily buffet of birdseed and leave my tomatoes alone
through the twilight's last gleaming
we may not all sing it but we all pretty much know it
did n ot know squirrels ate tomatoes...learn something new everyday.
squirrels like 'maters? O_O *runs to stand guard over my first red ones of the year*
I would be in trouble with the park police if I feed the squirrels bird seed
probably so, jmc...
squirrels like summer squash to
is the ot6 a normal word?
and HI- happy fourth!
But the raccoons have been quite naughty! They are knocking down birdfeeders and last night they knocked the entire post down in order to get the birdfeeder and seeds.
for babble, yes, dr
squirrels always eat two bites and then go to the next one
Slugs get my tomatoes
ty DC
use cedar chips as mulch (and the ever reliable beer in sallow containers)
i have SC*2, is there another?
Maybe my kitties can fend off the squirrels - I hope
no dc
only 2 sc
I have pine mulch and may resort to the beer trick this summer
I have only found 2 sc
ty, rbud
I have no sc's yet
the cedar wards off squash borers too
Oh, wait, I did find those!
but so do radishes
2 x sc and 2 x se so we're missing another se? from the leftist S
fresh radshes are delicious
and radishes are tastier than cedar chips
I like them sliced with a tiny bit of salt
se6/24?
jmc...humans aren't supposed to eat cedar chips...
Then next year I will buy cedar mulch. How about sweet pea plants? I started with seeds and just planted them next to the deck, so they can climb up. Should I put a pole next to them too?
oo well I try to be open minded about what I eat pav! ;-)
se6 is one of the 4 SE words i have
if there's two rbud...mine se6 24 starts with the conservative S (the right side)
depends on how the deck is built -- they need things to cling to
se6= abbrev for portion of minute + what golfers strive for
ty Scrabs
jmc..you like your cedar chips with a bit of salt?
a hole in one..lol
TY, JM. I will put in some poles next to the plants
True, very true, Zoo
lol pav my radishes -- you can't slice cedar chips!
se 6 24, se 4 5, se 4 4, se 6 18, se 4 4 are all of them
I've not had cedar chips...so I had to ask!
maybe next time I will try salt! lol
Good roughage I would guess, PAV
Tope E clue please?
aren't the syllables reversed on se6.24
es7 - think greek city state
okay I do not know a nice definition for wo 4/9
*** fireworks! ***
whoo hoo rbud!
WTG rbud
some people Bop others upside the head...and an italian wo4 them?
congrats, rbud!
uh no pav
woohoo rbud!
that's my udersttanding of that wo4
I was raised to vi4 that word as equal to the N word
never heard that usage, but it's possible. i'll have to look it up.
it's derogatory, no doubt about that
that is the definition from the ? too
yahoo rbud!
at least not PC these days
well it is a bit derogatory to the Italians, but if I'm thinking correctly the spanish have twisted it a bit to be more flattering for the males...guapo..is of the same derivative..
huh. i've only heard it used to mean to hit someone.
More help with that Greek city state word please?
guapo may be from the derivative but is a totally different word
I think they nearly stopped using wo4 by the 50's
es+golf goal+opp. of from
I guess it is just my age showing. I understand from my staff that calling both men and women guys is okay and not sexist
es an arc is a piece of a cirlce and a vowel
as long as we weren
as long as we weren't talking about anyone in particular, and ddn't capitalize it, when we were kids it meant to hit upside the head
our son calls everyone "dude!" - male or female - most irritating
dude is a gender-neutral word
I'll take a mimosa to go and get ready for tonight's picnic
That es6 is new to me.
yes, and we have a childish Assistant Division Director, now Interim DIvision DIrector, who does the same..he's in his 50's
LOL..rbud..same this side
I try to avoid sounding like a posser
good luck and congratulations to all the finishers!
bye all!
what a waste of resources with him..he's a "who you know" appointee, definitely not "what you know"
Bye JM, enjoy the picnic
bye, jmc, enjoy the evening!
Bye JMC..have a good time.
Happy 4th jmc!
hi all can any one clue the R on the bottom row please

*changing that S to a Qu thus shrinking the word total
ahhhh i can't find anymore
Nice Scrabs!
se 6 -- most of an increment of a minute; and most of an increment of the whole
qu with a 0/0 count
Clever solution, huh?
sp4/8 is a weird one
then pl it
TY, DR

I dont know what I am seeing on your icon (specs not quite in place) - but it sure as hell aint either Alice Cooper or Michael Jackson. From here it looks more like a tray of eggs................
Oh lordy well, small, it looks like post surgical Jacko.
it's candied eyes!
Soodle, its eye candy....
but if you drink enough Bailey's they might turn into "eye candy"
TY BR, for the K words, I need onemore only now. So thats much better.
smacks self on forehead. So long since I saw eye candy, I didn't recognise it when I saw it!! How sad is that????
Can not believe it is already 6 pm!
But Pav, now that I have seen it, I am sitting back and enjoying it. Thank you! XX

I liked him--as a player, I mean. I did not know him as a person...
from everything I've heard, he was an exceptional man
(your icon reminds me I need an updated Serena pic for my wall at work, LOL)
lots of expressions of sympathy on the local news right now
indeed, pam!
I have heard that, too, une. None of that crap that so often gets spread around about NFL players
exactly . . .
I had forgotten he played with Baltimore his last two years... Are they saying anything locally about circumstances? CNN is being "coy."
How did he come to his death Pam?
Shot, red.
single gunshot wound to the head
local news is giving out nada
Yikes ..
(I have to say, my declaration icon works nicely with red's)
Oooh that isvery sad. so much violence. they used to say that sports was a was to excape the "hood" but nowit seems hood is coming in to sports.
Really is sad...
woman in apt with him was shot and killed as well
Mine, is a rabbit?
the colors, red...
Ahhhh. I see.
yes, it was her condo, and she is his girlfriend--they are saying. (the ubiquitous they)
I can notfind my last 23.

Hello all. I haven't checked yet -- is Lickety's list available today?
I dont think so Gwensi, but I dont know that for sure.
no, gwenski, but a list is on babanon
Thanks. That saved me a mouse click.
:)
Oh lodry I just found out NCIS has some fullepisodes on Hulu.... iamgoing to be in TV heaven, so unhealthy....
DC, how is Tom and his Heart?
he's doing alright, and will be having a myectomy at Cleveland Clinic in August - we're waiting to hear the date.
tonight, he's achy, and at work
physically achy, not his heart
Physically achy I get. Glad to hear he is doing alright, and Making that holiday pay is always nice. I am doing OT tomorro, for the m oney and to have a moment of work without my trainee...
he got holiday pay for last night, as that was the holiday. I doubt he has holiday pay tonight, but may, i suppose.
I always forget the night shift issues. In reality he probably got holiday pay for 8 hrs last night and for4 tonight or something wierd...
when i was nights i would have gotten 5h holiday for yesterday and 7h regular for today, and no diff for tonight. *shrug* he gets paid, which is what counts. And he got a raise and a bonus for finally getting his BSN awarded in June - the one he completed in 2001.
bbs
is this here thing on?
Heya nut
TORG!!!
happy fourth buddy
My daughter just made a brilliant observation .. Fireworks should be legal everywhere to help with natural selection .. All the morons who would blow themselves up should get the opportunity to do so ..
it is brilliant but flawed, what about the innocent bystanders who's ass they accidentally fire a rocket up?
Hello, evanonut .. are you enjoying work in the light of day?
Yeah, but fireworks scares the crap out of my dog.
work? what work? i'm not working, but hello babrab
LIterally. He went outside to poop, got scared, so pooped in the house. Ugh.
Yeah, there is that whole collateral damage scenario ..
yeah, kinda like drinking and driving...okay if its only a drunk wrapping themselves around a tree
back
hi, nutt, torg, babrab :)
heya dcs buddy boy
how goes?
is doggy poop collateral damage?
goes slow in here, everyone must be out getting ready to see fireworks
i think doggy poop is collateral damage
i think it depends on how it's deployed, babrab
colonic damage ..
Perhaps, if it damages the carpet or furniture.
anyone have a list of the K's? i am missing 5 of them
forworks is 2.5h away here.
ke*3, ki*4, ko*4
ty sean off to look
er, fireworks here... :)

Yaaay dc Seain. I have 18 left. I did take a break to put on different clothing.
Yay, dcs!
oh, i was referring to ones for the 4th. i have 4 words left
dcs, i read back; hope all goes well for tom!
red had to dress up to complete the grid
ty, pam, we're sure it will. though he's worried about length of recovery, understandably.
running clothing Knitter, waiting until it hits 80 to go out...
thought you were gussying up for us red
well, you can pretend knitter!
Running? good for you!
I understand that, dcs!

ko 4 and robbers
red do you have the sobber?
BR, I think if I get back on the set schedule I might do better,and am also suspicious of a medication I started taking as making me very sleepy. I forgot about it as a side effect.

LOL, exactly dc! I felt I must do it once, then never did it again
when i lived on the Hill, we'd all walk down to the senate side to watch, then walk home. A couple years ago, some friends and i gathered on the river to picnic and watch, which was fun.
LOL babrab :D
BR thats really very cute.
that year on the mall confused me, cause the monument was in the way. GRowing up, the fireworks were tot he right, cause we were at the white house.

*kidding, don't attack me*
Public's assuming murder, pam, but police are really holding off on making a statement
Steve McNair and his girlfriend, at her condo
Steve Mcnair
the football player
i do not know who that is
why? was it Michael Vick!
used to play for the Titans here in NashVegas, kje
that's the only reason I know the name! :-)
its 87 here, I am frustrated, but I am soon to go out in it with shoes, hoping it drops one or two more degrees.
um, ok
36
there is somone who needs to be shot..
please red, 67 is heaven
kje, I'm not a football person :-)
67 would be delightful. but i wrote 87. I dont think I've seen 67 since February.
who, Vick? yes, I agree, ruru
87 is too
87 isn't for running, though, is it, Kje?
i just typo'ed
which seems to be my lot tonight
87 with 75% humidity, I gotta do it, so... BBL. it could be worse.
87 for running beats the heck outta 103, and there are nuts running today
I liked McNair
the heat has made kje's fingers swell up
kje, I think its time for Ice cream for dinner for you....
that is NUTTy
good luck, red
We have to run , kje, we are like hamsters. Can notfunction without it. Be back in an hour for the last 16.

Was he in Tennesse?

I didn't realized Tennessee was so dangerous

we're insane
I always like to pack heat when I go out to dinner here too though..
where was it the pastor invited guns into church?
LOL, ruru
Louisville, KY
une, we already have that...
archie bunker had the solution for skyjackings ... give everyone a gun
new Tennesse restaurant dress code: "dresses for the ladies and bullet-proof jackets for the gentlemen"

I am so good... at searching, LOL! I had forgotten, too!
BR, I was rooting for Roddick in the battle of the Andys but tomorrow I don't care -- it'll just be great tennis :-)
Roddick is serving very well though
will rafa ever play again?
I am so glad you like that wine pammo
no, ruru, they found the bodies after the fact
BR, I'm really worried about my Rafa . . .
ugh how awful
he'll be back.. he has to turn it down a slight notch to save himself
No, ruru, I don't like it. I love it.
Pam, they're now giving out the following "specific info" . . . it was not his wife, Mechelle :-)
OY
** ruru: wine savant "
perhaps the strengthening the muscles will help
maybe it was his wife?
how much stronger do they have to be BR.. that guy is in fantastic shape?

it's french for slang
a french like dialect? pa + change two middle vowels of the back deck plural word
TY lbd it is a french like dialect thingy...
new word for me
it's more like a dialect of a language than it is a slang. cajon is a patois of french
sulking off to the pb...
oops.
Good clue ..
hans lbd a corona and chips and salsa.
i'll take the chips and salsa, don't drink beer. but thanks
well that made it much easier for me to find LOL
it's the heat!
ahhh, free beer in pb.
at the risk of sounding unpatriotic i wish the fireworks would stop i am tired of the noise and smoke
nothing unpatriotic about that, AK. i don't like them either.
watching the macy's show on TV
purty
i live on a pond and every idiot in the neighborhood has nben shooting them off for weeks and tonight nonstop for the past hour
I am not sure why we are making such an effort today, they shoot them off at Disney like every night....but they are pretty.
I live right in Boston, and they started in June!
Lots of loud, high-flying and pretty neighborhood works. And yet, I do tire of them...
5 left.
My late dog, China, was afraid of them.... But Pearl sleeps right through them--doesn't seem to notice them at all.
my poor cats and parrot are all upset
teulu is using it as an excuse to get wound up and bark, any excuse for him though is a good one...
I do feel for the animals...
Poor china dog. my boyz were neurotic with the louds booms. we'd spend the evening in the basement.
With dogs, some people put mineral oil in their ears. Also, they use benadryl to help calm them.
We used Xanax--prescribed--for China...
I do miss her.... China, that is.
i think i need xanax
LOL, ak....
no drugs used, just calm music in the basement, close out the noise as much as possible, and we'd snuggle.
pam didnt venture off to the esplanade tonight?
I don't want to shut windows--nice, cool breezes. But I am OVER the booms.
Oh, hell no, ak!
i've been watching the wild critters as well as the neighboring horses and dogs. none of them are acting wild or crazy, so they must be pretty calm...or drugged
I am watching it on the television--changing stations when I hate the music, LOL
LOL, LBD
hard to do that in person although it seems like an idea..
used to watch the boston pops when it was on a&e, now abc chops it up so much you can't really enjoy the music.
I have been to the esplanade twice. More than enough, LOL!
True enough, LBD!
CBS this year...
they'll probably chop it up too, gotta run those beer commercials ya know.
Or, CBS here, I should say
no the last hour is commercial free
I watched some of the Macy's fireworks...
i think i'll go watch 1776 on dvd. no commercials! lol
you like that movie, eh, lbd 8^)
if you click on this icon you'll see some soundless sparklers -- happy 4th, all!
Early fireworks here ..
Thanks, Jilli!
happy 4th Jilli!
congrats to Torgone.
whooo hoooooo TORG!!
Yay, Tor!!!!

Oh got it...

I think I will have a roll with cheese, I am not hungry, but...
Late in the day?
translation, please, red!
Thanks f or clues LBD and everyone!
11-3 yes, thats why i am up so late.
bye lbd
great, red!
oh 4 hours is 1/3 of a regular work day, so any time we work it its called a princess shift, because its so lazy and generally one can do anything for 4 no matter how awful it is.
11am - 3 pm or 11pm - 3 am?
princess turtlehead
LOLOL, kje!
pam, great icon
thanks, jilli!
for me 11 a to 3pm. Iam not a night worker!
The Globe publishes the Declaration annually, and annually, I read it, Jilli... I am a geek! And, since I am left of left, I get uber patriotic this time of year as I don't believe the right "owns" patriotism or its definition
here here!
any ps?
Thanks, KJE!
pam, I'm with you -- my high school days were spent in NYC so I got a good dose of American History.
Much more, I am sure, jilli, than I got of Canadian!
Never got any Canadian history, except by living here.

Excellent to be patriotic People, no matter where you live.

oh the horror
fictional, fictitious The distinction between fictional and fictitious is quite subtle but worth maintaining. Fictional means 'occurring in fiction', i.e. in a piece of literature, whereas fictitious means 'invented, not genuine'. So Oliver Twist is a fictional name when it refers to Dickens' character, and a fictitious name when someone uses it as a false or assumed name instead of their own. Similarly, events are fictional when described in a work of fiction, and fictitious when invented in ordinary life.

Herin would not eat the brains. I am not a zombie
can't eat brain... not since i learned about prions - freaks me out
Ks Konked
3 sa; 2 sc; 5 se; 3 si; 8 so; 14 sp
though supposedly they are delicious... but one must draw the line somewhere
gj jilli
ah - missing sa's
We used have calves' brains often in Shanghai, done European style. Very like sweetbreads -- nice.
and se - ty
looking
found the sa's
eww
Sorry Jill but no thanks
down to 5
city kid never gave a thought to where they came from. Just the kitchen, on a plate.
like i said, they are supposedly quite good... wish i didn't know too much and could enjoy them - LOL
kje, that's how I feel about blue cheese, after bacteriology
took me awhile to like sauerkraut too.
nah - the bacteria in blue cheese are harmless... the viruses and prions transmitted rarely in brains are untreatable and deadly - big difference
I know
mmmm stinky blue cheese
although, couldn't eat much meat during gross anatomy
My Grandfather was a butcher I think that is why mum didn't feed it to me
oooo - found one of the missing se
sorry for the play by play... but it is keeping me entertained - LOL
me too, lol
se - most of an increment of a minute and most of an increment of the whole
Kje you are keeping me amused as I am not gridding
yikes. back...computer had a grand mal malfunction.
wb feather!
WB feather
poor thing. i asked it to do more than 2 things at once.
sounds like my old laptop
BR, which se is that a clue for?
it's a little over 5 years old. in its golden years i believe. we're on the downhill decline now.
it's a holiday doesn't want to work overtime
se 6/24 and more accurately should be an increment of a minute, abbr; and most of an increment of the whole
se 6 espanol number extended with a conjunction
Don't scare me. This baby was born in April '05...
a synonym for the se 6/24 is parsec
45 left and I need nourishment -- back later
not getting the whole part of the clue
well, let's see...the C key is intermittent, of the three USB ports, only one works, and that's only if you hold the item at the correct angle and don't move a hair, the CD rom drive door is stuck and needs to be pulled down slightly to open, the front plastic is missing on both sides, and it has convulsions when asked to do too many processes at once.
transplace the increments of the synonym
ok, got that
aw, poor thing, feather!
i need a titanium laptop. this one's been dropped from the couch a few too many times, obviously.
lol, more than half those problems are my own fault!

will the stalemate in the legislature end any time soon, featherbee
pardon br? lost me
Featherbee - my first laptop lasted about 20 months. After the second trip to mfr. I was informed the problem was overheating, caused by 'not enough clearance between motor? and desk top. MYy dsign flaw? No, my expense of new laptop.
is not the NY senate gridlocked?
A lot of states are in crisis now trying to keep lobbyists' pet projects alive in the face of monumental deficits ..
ah, sorry! seems to be so. wasn't thinking locally, been following the news in iran more closely than local news lately. so my mind had switched to iran's legislature...thus the confusion.

About time jmc ..
was good
have to run.. bbl
any help with so7 please. thx
well talk to the Capitol Hill police about it torg
aaahhhh weed - you are always cleaning house!!!
should we leave the two of you alone kje and ru?
so7 - more sudsy
so 7 is more dial or zest
not really....i'm always attempting to clean house, while the two whirling dervishes that are my sons follow behind me and undo everything! you'd think my house would be spotless, but it truly isn't. i just moan and groan about it more than the average person.
but if they are just going to undo it... why bother?
i'm packing away tubs of toys to go into the attic. got one big tub full already, working on a second.
Thx babble Rabble - that did it for me. Thx again
further than the attic - give to good will
cause i get tired of stepping on legos and tripping on toys!
puritan ethic
whoo hoo nurse1000!
WTG nurse!!!
TY Jesus that I am a Quaker and not a puritan
get some body padding and just let it go weed
congrats, nurse
whew. now poof all. Have a good night
my plan is to rotate the tubs after a few months. had done that once, but then suddenly every tub was down here, and the attic was bare.
be well
bye nurse
ooo that is like they tell you to do in those "be a good mommy" books
Rotate the tubs OUT to the trash or goodwill or whatever ..
she is faking jmc... don't let her fool you
feather, when my kids were small i put away 2 boxes of their toys in the attic and they never even noticed... that's when I realized they had too many
like when harry met sally?
i know, i should get rid of them completely, but i have a packrat problem that i'm trying to get a handle on. i figure, attic first, then when they have forgotten about them, goodwill next.
I wish I could remember who (here) turned me on to Sonny Landreth .. Listening to him now and he's awesome ..
oky my monkey is easily bored help with the ak4 pls
yes, exactly. mine have too many. spoiled by us and by family.

evening all.
I hear there is fake meatballs with tomatoesauce in the PB Dorens
quick in and out tonight, i think... I'm looking for name suggestions.
hello, Dorens
crush crush crush crush
what are you naming jes?
I just picked up a pot bellied pig and a little calico cat from an abandoned house (kind of amusing watching sheriff's deputies trying to herd a pig!) and i need a name for the cat
Name for what?
male or female?
Fido
she's a long haired, brightly marked, delicate build (and underweight) little cat
what did you name the pig?
Jim
Notorious P.I.G.
oh, wait, calicos are always female
(boyfriend named him)
cute
Pintoozler
really Ididn't know that pythonx
both black and orange are sex-linked, you have to have an X chromosome for each. so calicos are either female, or XXY males
Josephine of the Technicolor coat
I always say that babble is educational
josephine is a nice, distiguished name :)
Aretha
which makes the males similar to down's syndrome, according to my vet
she sang at the mall tonight
Urethra
no no torg!
lol, torg
Jeevie Weevies
actually, the 2 calico males I've met have been apparently normal
i have a tiny little calico long hair who is named Kiki
Jeevie Weevies?
but she usually gets called Princess or Miss Priss
asor
oops
good thing it doesn't spell anything
Only certain San Diego people will get that cat name reference ..
nene then you can call her little goose
Caliope
well I have never been accused of being a certain San Diego person
Caliope is nice... and not overused
http://petrix.com/catnames/index.html
we had a stray calico for a few days and that's what I called her before she went to the shelter
as 4 pl
Getting dark here .. The fireworks are starting to go off ..
we kept her sister Ruby
I think Caliope has it... the boyfriend says "that's not bad" and that's about as enthusiastic as he gets over cats ;)
a + S**ence Officer Spock
just got back from seeing our local fireworks and then just finished up and got more fireworks here

yep, there were some very nice ones tonight in Huntington Woods, suburb of detroit
best fireworks were last week though, during the Freedom Fesitval. Ever been Gwen?
help with so 6/21 pls
sorry I mean sp 6/21
been to the detroit ones several times. this time though i just watched 'em on tv. saves the 6-hour drive (three hours in, three hours out)
sp6.21 is a flowering shrub
I have that in my yard pyth!
can you see detriot from canada?
i didn't make it this year either, though i am only 10 min away. have to go so early to get a good spot.
i am in Windsor, right across the river from Detroit

oh! I found the shrub! It's called "hardhack" here...
go jmc go!
go jmc!
just a strait between detroit and winidwor, canada, big enough for ore-hauling ships, but you can see across
it is wedding breath or babys breath here
during Prohibition, the rum runners used to shoot across the river in boats at night
well, I am above 100, need to shove some benadryl down Lucky's throat so I can trim his nails. Hope it works...
is the town in NM the first ta 44?
windsor, not winidwor, ACK and sorry!

Gwen, if you came to Windsor now you wouldn't recognize it. The city workers have been on strike for 11 weeks and the parks are a mess. No grass has been cut, no flowers planted...garbage cans full,
