Since there's no definition for it, I suppose the es4 counts as a babblet, don't it?
suppose so
I would think so, doug (don't have it)
hi doug
i would definitely count es4 as a babblet, douglas. it's one of those that you see once a week or so, just a dumb little word, that is still too sneaky for you to see it immediately
Does anyone know if we will have Lickety's List? Thanks

My father in law past away last year and there is quite a few things in his house that could be used by my kids for their house but daughter just wants some more modern things too - I can understand that but har dad just thinks of waht they can save
some of the older things were made better and will last longer
We know that but she wants what she wants
I know what you mean
She has a lot of stuff from a few years back when she planned to move in with boyfriend - but that relationship finished. She is all excited about her own place - albeit with younger brother.

hi MRP & Sadie
hiya lynxxx
Gah, 36 left after the first sweep. Ouch.
doing better than me
That does not bode well, is it poopy today?
hi FM, the last 40 or so are
FM! ***whammo** It wasn't poopy, but it is now....
Oh well, I shall dive in anyway (as if I would let a little poopiness put me off)!
***dries self off with large towel*** A little warning next time if you please!
lol sorry 'bout that ;)
Yah yah, you look sorry....
I'm finding the d particularly annoying, perhaps a fresh pot of coffee will help.
*trying to keep a straight face and look remorseful*
Just for the record, your acting skills suck.
*passes a mug of coffe as an apoplogy*
***gratefully accepts*** It's a Love-in! <------
OK am going to apply myself to the grid for a few mins, only have a measely 4 words so far.
Okay, it's official. I hate the d's. Movin' on.
hehe
***places large amounts of high explosives on d tiles*** Ka-boom!
I've greyed the left hand d but thats about all :(
Ditto, I rest my case.
the D's are a bit do7.44 than the rest
nice one, thanks for that lynxxx!
Thanks Lynx. They're still poopy though. :p
Yeah, some de4.8 description
l o l
he he d's greyed :)
liar !
well done FM, I've still to find one
are too!
Nuh uh. 'Tis unpossible. ***fingers in ears, lalalalalalal***
there is a weird di8/45
Ahhh, missed the cute widdle bears for my last p. Doh!
Oooh, if I believed you, I'd go looking.
Okay, so there is one. It's stoopid, and may I add....poopy.
you found it? wtg!
Yah yah, I'm a genius, but keep it under 'yer hat.
Your secret is safe with me (and all the other lurking babblers).
Why am I missing 4 more d's then? explain it to me. Duumb it right down....
Okay, 3 more.
2 more, and a stoopid one at that
1 more, forgot to plural
lol see you can do it!
Isn't this exciting everyone? Stay tooned whilst I spam away my inner thoughts that nobody really wants to know.
can't wait for the next gripping installment :)
Wheres Haz when you need her?
I like to think of it as forced reading.
Haven't seen Hazaurus this morn yet. She's prob'ally cleaning something. Whatever that is.
lol or prepping a scrumptious Sunday lunch.
Okay, last d was the stoopid di 6/21. That said, the d's were poopy.
missing 2 p's.
got the pa 5/6?
a pa6 cell perhaps
lol Lynx, not surprisingly that was my first p. :)
lol got that one lynxx, think Lori has identified the missing pair.
yup that did the trick, thanks.
Yea for FM!
Gah! Missing e was the feudal dude. To the coffee pot!
I am finding that this grid works best if you don't pay full attention to it, so many typos are taking!
lol, the old typo strategy. I like it.
how else would I have found the di8?
Because you're more smarter-est than us. :)
oh of course, it's a word I use all the time!
Oooh, last o was a 6/7. Gah
haven't even looked at the o's yet trying to find my missing r.
silly and straigthforward r4 was eluding me.
I'm missing 4, which are pretty much guaranteed to be re's.
there are 2 real doozies a re5/6
Last a was a fish word. Glad I didn't ask.....
I have one re 5/6, guess I'll look again. Maybe.
there are 2 sets of 5/6 and the ones I referred to are before the auction ones.
Gah, we've had that before, and it's as stoopid now as it was then. Muchos grassyass FM. I hoped it started with the same letter
Oh, 2 before the auction? Ahee. My missing r's
lol just looked up the meaning, how could I have forgotten (not) a Renaissance fiddle.
So, there's another 5/6 before that?
good mornig FM & Lori
hi Eva
G'd mornign Ehva!
the first re is re4/5 then the 2 sets of 5/6, the fiddle is the first set and the auction is the 2nd set.
Good afternoon all.....
Morning Eva :)
and lynxxx
and caitlyn
Oh, okay I have the 2 sets then. Poopy
Afternoon? what time zone are you in cait?
Mornin' caitlyn!
and everyone else
hi Caitlyn
any hints for that o6/7 combo?
Just the 3 ro's?
yes
is it a compound?
FM I have changed my computer and lost e mail contacts can you contact me when you have a chance .........oopps its still morning

np cait will do, give me a mo and I'll do it now.

Gah, last r's were 4 and 5 unrelated. Poopy
Yeah there is a bright light outside!!
how many left to find Lori?
16 painful words to go.
Very damp, foggy and rainy here. Gonna' make a small fire on. BRB
It is warm here but the weather doesn't quite know what it wants to do today.
hint for those ne's Lori? I'm sure I'll feel stupid once I see them, but so itgoes
We had loads of rain last night but hopefully it will start getting better
just saw the,!!!
just saw them that is!!
LOL Eva

That is why I either chat or play FM I cant do both!

phone brb
I dont ming at all Eva LOL
thanks caitlyn...and a good minging to you too
Can't get through to Lickety's today. Can anyone tell me how many words there are today, please?
178
Hi pianoman 178 words today
can't figure out the ending on the ne8 - have the 6 and 7
Thanks. Still have a way to go, I guess.
Add a vowel before the plural letter
Back, fire is amde on now. Can't believe I got the 6/7 ne, but missed the 8. Thanks all
ty caitlyn
I'm refusing to make any more fires this year Lori. Taking the winter comforter back out was insult enough! But we actually had 1 and a half days without rain!
Lori it seems to be tripping us all up today yw foward
Now it's sunny and raining.
Ehva, we had 4 days in a row of sun. It was an anomaly. we're back to rain,. fog and blah
when the sun came out everyone sort of staggered around squinting-totally disoriented.
We had our summer last week, just heard farming forecast and its wet all week again
Ironically, given my statement this grid is poopy, my missing f was ironic....
I actually found an earwig in my checkbook
Thats a strange thing to find Eva
finding earwigs anywhere isn't all that odd this "summer"
Its very strange here today, only cooking for me and hubby,normally I am feeding the masses on a Sunday
We've still been low on earwigs so far, surprising as that is.
morning everyone
I havent seen an earwig in years, they must have gone somewhere warmer and drier than here
Morning Katie
G'd mornign Katei
Hah, last w was Andrew Lloy, minus a letter
thanks for that Lori.
yx, Mornin' zooz

It was. great to see Ata of course but Hobbit is just wonderful and I am so full up on dog hugs and kisses :)
hehehe Hobbit is even better loved than Ata!
Ata would attest to that too :)

Haven't tried it yet
I'll try it now.
Yes - just tried it a couple of times - keep getting google server error.
thanks sandie
Bit frustrating really.
same here
Maybe he is working on it
yeah - i like to use it for the online words if for some reason its not updated with todays puzzle
Sometimes he is away
If he's away you just get the old page usually. Must be something wrong. Hope it's fixed soon.
are there any clues for the 8s
the error means the page is being overloaded with requests to load
ok... bbl... enjoy.

no matter - got it
Can anyone clue the di8 please :-)
oh just had fish and chips for thr first time this year, b4 hankering for them for ages, utterly delectable!!
howdy fm ;))) ((()))
Sounds delicious, FM. Had a nice visit with Ata yesterady? I had to leave just as you came on
first time this year? wow, that's discipline.
lol I know, so mant calories but soooo good!
FM - Unless you have fish and chips for everybody, you shouldn't mention them. I can smell the vinegar from here.
Hi Uni - it was lovely and she brought Hobbit as a surprise!!!
Oh, a romp with the beast!
sorry Soodle - my car also smells like a chip shop now too.
Hey crossy, almost missed you there ((()))
*secretly hoping someone will answer that clue request for di8 from a few mins ago*
it's one heck of a word and I haven't b4 abnle to work out a decent clue for it yet hursh.
but you have an indecent one? :)
Are the ce words hard? They are bothering me.
bothering me too - i have seven of them and i feel that 7 ce's in a grid should be enough for anybody.
di + vowel + cons + pl intermingled with vowels
see I told you it was a crappy clue :)
oh my gosh, i going to try that but then i thought, no, i think the third letter is a U - that's the pl of some kind of medical procedure, i believe
hello all, did not finish babble yesterday and my ranking went down 3 pts. I know it is only a game but I am not happy.
the DI 8/45. First 3 letters - to expire. final 5 letters - fragrant english flower, but change the first vowel. Maybe thats awfully complicated
Ha! finished the ce words!
how many did there end up being, uni?
that is a much better clue Soodle. Hi peri!
It sure is a weird word.
medical stuff is never spelt the way i expect it to be from hearing it
11, Hursh. A few normal, a few that are related, and a few total oddballs, in my opinion.
sigh... all 4 remaining c's ce's is a very disheartening fact
the b crops up in a few interesting places I must say.
Holy crow. I have to leave for work in ten minutes and I have a lot to do still. Take care, all!
time flies when you're finding words
Bye hun!!!!
*flop*
*flop*
oo!
well hello, ata, you look very floppy today
Flopping isn't very good for your posture.
Hi Ata!!!!!! and Haz too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
don't care, tis necessary!!
*straightens up and tries to fly right*
Hello hello!
Bonjour Haz :)
hi haz and la spaghettina!
Bonjour! Are we all well?
did not get the earlier clues for the 8's
who is la spaghettina and why?
Haz, I was Hobbited yesterday totally and utterly :)
It's a pet name for Spangle, - just because.
morning!
Did she bounce and lick and wiggle?
ah :)
How was the hol?
utterly!
It was very enjoyable - short but relaxing. Nice hotel, good food, and the natives were reasonably friendly.
she was wiggly and licky and cudly and perfectly behaved :) Ata was good too *grin*
You can depend on Hobbit to charm.
I am smiten
she took over the flat
:)
di8 - plural of the word to describe when two vowels are pronounced separately (naive, noel). An anagram of what you do on a horse, plus a double quota of the letter s.
thanks for the clue, Haz, trying to figure it out
i have a Thought. there are Brits and Canadians who want to move to the US for some reason, right? why isn't there some kind of... exchange program, where they can say, take two people with similar jobs who want to switch countries, and say, ok, fair exchange and no robbery, and not bother with all the hassly red tape
Or, pass away (3), a consonant and what sounds like two s.
I got the di8, thanks so much Haz
You're welcome, peri.
help with the ne8 pls
have you managed to turn your trousers back to blue yet, FM?
ne8 is a kind of plural for ne6/21. n plus an anagram of the downy duck (ne6)
yes, Ata. Just ran the hoover over everything and all was restored to its usual non Hobbit colour :)
Will turning the trousers blue involve sewing?
no, just defluffing
lol Haz, but you can re the first 3 letters tho.
Well, that's a relief.
thanks, Haz, working on it
they turned black
help with bottom E pls
ed 6: more cutting?
ed6/27 - comparatively nervous
or more on the rim?
thanks nan
this misogynistic rapper is ed6 than that misogynistic heavy metal group...
thanks hursh
good morning, everyone :)
Morning cnan
i saw you had it before i finished my clue, but i couldn't resist posting anyway
*whistles and tries to pretend her post isn't the last one, just hanging out there looking like it killed the chat*
morning
yay for phaeton!
I'm still debating in my mind about your question over fair exchange of malcontent Brits and Canadians.
yay what?
yay for you breaking the silence
we may have malcontents, but i don't kn ow if they want to go to canada or england
oh, yes haz? let me know how the debate turns out
oh, your welcome :)
I DO!!!!
(want to go to canada or england)
I didn't want to leave you hanging in thin air
i 'preciate it
are you malcontent?
It's possible to leave and go to another country, I'm just not sure of the mechanism of exchange.
I would swap with someone.!
don't we just send them to australia?
My Mum wouldn't be too pleased tho
I want to trade bodies with Brad Pitt..
i might be willing to do that for a visit, but not permanently
Time was when I might have thought about swapping, but I don't think I would want to now.
oh ruru - we love you as you are!
it's possible but my impression is that you have to jump through a lot of hoops. i mean, if i want to switch to canada, i can't just pop up there and say, ok, i live here now.
But ruru, are you ready for all that childcare?
If you do that Ru, can I be your Angelina?
(you'd have to get your lips done soodle)
No, because Canada might be a bit suspicious. Not that you arouse suspicion, just that they like to be on their guard.
Dammit. Forgot about the lips - back to the Plastic surgeon with Soodle
are you swapping bodies with angelina soodle, or are you already built like her?
but it's very simple. they have a national health care system, as you do, and what with global warming and all, i need to be somewhere that will stay nice and cold. plus canada stays out of messy world affairs which must be relaxing.
Actually - no. But I wouldn't mind a Brad Pitt lookalike...... (becomes misty-eyed and dreamy/floaty)
what's to be suspicious of when i have three good reasons?
They may not be your real reasons.
I hope Oregon will let me in one day
but...hurshy, there are places in the US that have all that, ya just gotta find em
What part Ata?
Astoria
lol ata - you know they have a saying, come visit then leave. really.
oh...pretty
there are not places in the US that have national health care and are not part of the US and therefore stay out of messy world affairs!
ATa, are persona non gratis?
I lived in Sisters ORegon for a long time.
there is a county in Maryland that offers health care for a minimal amount
Try ALaska Hursh
then you could wander south and get lost and end up lost in Canada
but maryland is south-er than i am now, i refuse to head south. and land that produced sarah palin?? before i knew about her, sure, maybe, but now...
she'll be selling pantyhose soon hursh.. not to worry
don't think so, but it's hard to get into america!
Surely if you hold on long enough Obama is going to change the health system?
but she is leaving alaska hursh
it just appalls me that reputable news organizations continue to discuss whether she will run for president when they should all be writing, sarah, do not run, you are an unqualified disaster, we don't like you, go away please
I have heard that Canadians are not happy with their health plan
unfortunately ata, it needs to be hard, we have too many here now that shouldn't be here
well haz, the trouble is that the bill as it currently stands (as with the economic stimulus bill) is too watered down to really fix things.
yes... like the octomom, Dr. Phil...etc
the osmond brothers they can go too
I know, but I want to be allowed in!
and i want to be allowed out!
You mean Obama is limited in his powers? Can this be?
you just need to come up with an asylum factor ata
i mean, why should the accident of birth trap you in a country all your life?
i know, haz, it's awfully shocking and disappointing, don't you think?
I'd rather Ayla was allowed into the UK, but with MS and unable to work, it's very unlikely!
he has to learn how to grease the wheels
It's bound to be a grave disappointment, hursh, although I did have my suspicions that it might prove to be the case.
well, naturally, one has suspicions, but it was like, if he can't do it, probably nobody can. which means hell in a handbasket for us.
But his slogan - 'Yes we can'. Was it just a slogan?
no, not just a slogan. we COULD, but apparently, we WON'T.
I thought he was talking about jams and preserves
when has any politician live up to their election slogans??
i wonder if the framers would have designed anything differently if they could see us right now, completely powerless to do anything about global warming because of congress...
i don't know what would be a useful kind of government, though. it's very discouraging to think about.
At least Greenland can become a resort area now
Benevolent dictatorship. Just choose your dictator with care.
hiya all
hey movie
Hello MM.
Hi MovieMan
but there's that whole "power corrupts" thing. so even if you choose with the greatest care, the person who starts out good will end up bad.
bb in a min..have to make coffee and breakfast for mrs ru
clues for the 8s plz
Howdilly doodilly, Babble peeps!
I know. A benevolent dictator with a limited term of office.
di 8 ne 8
Hello Judi.
are you volunteering, haz?
Spangle would be good
It depends. Can I enforce rules about using apostrophes?
at least we know she will choose her words carefully..lol
further clues, ruru?
True, ruru.
i doubt it. i mean i'd support it except that it would take a huge amount of resources; i don't think we can afford it.
di 8 reminds me of the catholic church
ne 8 is a worm I think
There's something wrong when we can't afford the apostrophe.
ragworms, plural
RAGWORMS??? i thought they were some kind of sea fairies
I managed to correct a chalked sign yesterday. It claimed to be selling salad box'es.
oh my
please tell me you're joking, haz.
I joke not. Both sides of a chalk blackboard.
good morning, and as long as you're screening political candidates, can we please rule out anyone who can't pronounce nuclear?
there is an itty bitty worm with an 8 letter name?
good golly miss molly.
Good morning JBV.
ship worms, i believe
But HAZ, it got your attention didn't it
or california too jbv?
what did they say when you told them of their err'or?
TO - hello!
Criminy. Don't you hate it when you mean to print only one page, and the whole web site prints? There goes all my printer ink.
ok, ruru :)
do yu send them fed ex or ups temple?
hi haz! how was your holiday?
I didn't tell them, Ata, I just wiped out the silly thing. Last time I tried to talk to a signwriter about apostrophes, he claimed not to know what a plural was. You get a bit downhearted sometimes.
A lot of things in the retail business get misspelled to catch peoples attention
The holiday was fine, TO - graduation first in Edinburgh, a day at home to regroup and then five days in Brittany. All very pleasant.
love music of brittany
When does your new job start, TO?
but not music of britney
lol hursh
well, i'm done and will say ttfn
ttfn
Indeed not. We went to a concert of the music of Brittany - more bagpipes and drums than you'd ever imagine.
au revoir!
Bye hursh.
training next week away from home. just getting set up with new laptop and cell phone as present.
Will you be staying in a hotel?
yes. tho i have not yet booked it, i am tempting fate. the most importatn part has begun, though.
lol haz reading back on the chog on your efforts to help with the worlds grammer.:) now if you can only get the americans to spell colour properly: hehe
The internet is great for booking places.
hey crossy!
Clue for the middle E please? Need it for NBT. Thank you in advance!
howdy T.O :)
no we must book through our corp travel system.
Cross, there are some battles that are better not fought. Poor souls, they think they're spelling it properly.
Sorry, the lower middle E!!!
ed7 - being more ill at ease than another
ed6 even. I can nearly count.
TY Haz!
yes cross, it''s a matter of honor. h-o-n-O-r ;)
You're welcome, car.
my theatre on arbour street now has the right colour:))
Here in America, we try to de-frenchifry our words.
french fry words?
Is the theatre on Arbour Street with the correct colour situated many metres from your home, cross?
Or should that be "frenchify"? Mon dieu.
lol not many frenchies in the U.K last i saw....
lol haz
*whispers to judi* are they speaking english?
We just like things to be traditional. Why have metres when you can have yards?
here we just stay clear and if we have to go the the east coast,we try to hit the quebec border at night and drive straight through
the Navy still use fathoms
i use both haz...beer will forever be in pints and fish in pounds
Je ne sais pas, To. And that's the sum total of the French I remember from high school.
i know just enough french to get my face slapped in a bar
:d and did i ever say hi to all?
French is lovely.
:-D
If you didn't, TO, we'll forgive you.
French is to nasal. I much prefer Italian - although I can't speak that language either.
*too* dammit.
vous avez les yeux les plus beaux, vous aimez revenir à mon endroit pour une boisson ?
It's just a lovely language, logical but lyrical.
george will on michael jackson aand princess di : synthetic grief is a growth industry.
is that all it takes crossy?
No wonder you get your face slapped...
lol
translate
Ooh. Translation, please?
oh crossy! in Portland, you can buy bacon vodka! In the shops! *and* bacon doughnuts
You have the most beautiful eyes. Would you like to come to my place for a drink?
you have the most beautiful eyes.would you like to come back to my place for a drink
bacon vodka good in a bloody mary i think
ata,im making my onw bacon vodka now;))
it's called Bakon Vodka
i wouldn't slap you for that, but would probably say no
do you then do a pork rind garni?
well i bet mrs. crossy might
lol..no i rim the glass with bacon bits and garnish with a slice of saussage
is there a word for getting too hot - like hyperventilates but hyper----?
Hmm. What it lacks in social skills, it makes up for with completely transparent ulterior motive, Crossy.
oh yum
lol
Hypothermia.
lol judi
better than saying you have a nice rack,wanna go do the nasty?
duh. ty. but hyperthermia :)
Hyperthermia
Oops. That would be hyperthermia.
can i have help with the first ce5?
I'm trying to write a big blurb about sister for her disability re-claim
Don't attach any of her tablets.
how about overheats?
I get to write it cos I'm a doctor *facepalm*
Years ago we had to fill in a form for husband's father 'What medication do you take - do not attach examples'
that's nice and simple :)
loooool
You just knew that in times past, people had attached all sorts of things.
Someone must have figured it was easier to attach the pills rather than to try and spell them out.
oh yes, I can imagine!
cette grille me conduit fou
thats it,im almost frenched out:/
i'm back again
not voulez-vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?
This particular form was designed for old age pensioners to fill in. It took three of us, all graduates, about three hours to fill in mainly because it was so horrendously complicated.
the disability forms are a *nightmare*
Hello ardilla.
should go to sleep since i must be ready in 1/2 hrs
It's trying to get into the mindset of what they want you to say. If you don't use the right language, you're sunk.
and then exaggerating it muchly
ata,it took dozens of forms and almost ten years to get my wifes disabilty claim aproved here;(
haz i get that all the time at work. you must you the right jargon to get anything done.
Absolutely. Always describe the worst case scenario.
i know your pain:)
*4 1/2 hrs
hi ardilla
It's an absolute shame, I do feel sorry for old people who don't have family to help fill in these things because they just will not know what to say in order to get what is rightfully theirs.
Mum's trying to fill in Gran's carer allowance forms at the moment.
hi TO
If she gets stuck, Citizens Advice are very good at telling you what needs to be said.
we're lucky, in a way. Mum worked for Age Concern most of her life, so she knows at least a bit of the expected blurb
I was wondering if there was an advocacy group the elders could turn to. Most insurance cos and gov. agencies have "helpers" for form filling.
That's good. So many people come to this stage and it's just a bit of a minefield.
i find that with govt forms it is best to get out the thesaurus and blind them with the most overblown words you can find for what you are trying to say
Yes, over here we have Citizens Advice Bureau which helps people with claims etc. The problem is that not everybody knows that you can go to them for help.
and I suspect most elderly people wouldn't know
they understand verbal trotts;)))
Good advice, Crossy. And use as many plurals and apostrophes as possible!
And not everybody knows what they are entitled to claim. It can get incredibly complicated if you're claiming more than one benefit.
*raises hand* Oooh! Oooh! I worked for lawyers for seven years. I'm really good at verbal trotts!
lol judi
also luckily we've got Gran registered into the social services network in Bognor - she now has an occupational therapist dealing with her case and she's *wonderful*! She told us all about these things we could claim
What probably annoys many of us is that the ne'er do wells seem to know their way round the system beautifully while the elderly are confused and made to undergo all sorts of trauma to get at the money.
its the same here haz
Yes, Ata, once you get someone into the social services loop, all the secrets seem to come tumbling out.
don't they just!
the systems get crazier and crazier to screen out all the cheaters. problem is, they will NEVER be at a loss
Beuracratic rat bastards. You just know they deliberately design the processes that way so they don't have to dole out the funds and services.
Did you know that you get more money if your child has ADHD? If your child has asthma, you get extra money for putting in wooden floors. Suddenly we have lots of hyperactive asthmatics..
while normal folks are aggravated to death and or cheatged out of their due
I have an icon for you, crossy: http://tinyurl.com/n2d5rb
What we need is a universal truth detector - 'Are you worthy of this money?'
ok but us problem is system incentivizes NOT to work or be responsible.
that's just plain wrong.
I know. That's where my benevolent dictatorship would come in.
haz ,here if you get a doctors scrip saying so,you can actually get 400 per month for a special diat allowance if your diabetic or have beliefs that limit your diet in other ways that may affect your health...everone is all of a sudden going vegam lol
vegan*
Oh my goodness. The price of principles!
alas,i cannot give up the bacons,so im out of luck;)
whereas we're struggling to get C's disability allowance renewed, and she has to have a vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and diabetic friendly diet!
Poor girl - that has to be a very restrictive kind of diet to follow.
I believe that probably qualifies as an addiction, Crossy. So, you could get probably get free counseling at least. Are there any chapters of "Bacanon" near you?
bacanon?? the mind cringes at the thought....
so cross and haz, what caution would you give to those in US who clamor for govt fun medical?
sorry RN certainly not fun
a's done
hi again -- back from watching Sunday Morning :)
Crossy, tell me more about this diet allowance, my mom has diabetes and i don't think she knows about it.
hi nan
morning all
have 5 ne's -- is there an na or an no?
hi pythonx
We've had a government funded national health service since 1948 or so - the service today probably bears no resemblance to what was originallly envisaged. Our health service has become very top-heavy and costs a huge amount and whillst it does a reasonalbe job for most of the time, it is certainly not perfect.
nm -- found the no
the anti govt here tell us how people form uk and canada come here to be free to get treatment they want
clue for the be5/18 pls?
one moment pythin...
only rich Canadians can afford your healthcare temple
heck only rich americans can afford to go beyond normal protocols
Yes, they'll come if they need specialised treatment that might not be available on NHS, whether for reasons of cash or lack of expertise. Waiting lists are a problem here as well, but it's a case of there being too much demand on services and not enough resources. Medical services just swallow money.
and those protocols are not set by doctors. they are set by insurors.
here you go pythinx....
http://www.perc.ca/library/resources/f ood/food-security/app-d.en.html
thanks crossie, i'll check it ou
so how much worse to have them set by breaucrats?
I still think it's admirable that the service is free 'from cradle to grave' but those who set up the health service probably didn't envisage fertility treatment or plastic surgery etc being expected to be funded by government.
wouldn't mind a clue for that be 5 either
Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program recipients may be eligible for a special diet benefit for specific doctor prescribed diets. This allows clients extra money to accommodate special diet needs. Diets for which extra money is allowed include diets for diabetics requiring over 2400 calories, kidney disease, gluten free, high protein, restricted sodium, hyperlipoproteinemia and infant formula for therapeutic purposes or if breastfeeding is contraindicated. Many Registered Dietitians in the region feel the current diet benefit schedule is too limited in scope and out of date in terms of financial increments. Revisions to the diet schedule to reflect other special diets required for those diagnosed with other diseases is needed.
oops..dint mean to post that:/
wow!
interesting though!
Be5/14: popular and-gas medicine.

How was the family dynamic?
clue for the de6 pls?
does it still taste the same crossy?
no sign of primo. secondo in midst of teens angst, mostly caused by tertiare, as per normal. mr. hate was as delightful as usual. he said hello to kadresa, who answered with all the charm and warmth he merits. it was really, really funny
down to 46, but list time for me if I don't want to be here all day
Have you heard from him? I am just wondering how he is. Any takers on Dante?
lucy did very well.
lol trif, sounds like our family gatherings.we get together once every fives years to drink a case of whiskey and glare at each other;)
Surprise!
primo is with wifey, so he is happy. Ruthellyn seemed interested in dante, which mr. hate couldn't wait to tell me.
hi car
he is SO helpful....
crossy --- how fun!!!
What does it have to do with him?
Hi Ardilla!
Crossy...I will be expecting our invitations to the next gathering...
halfway done!
lol car..going to go with tequilia next time
and then secondo called me on her cell phone to b*tch about how much she hates it there. And I dutifully repeated "tell your dad how you feel, honey" like a tape loop from some pathetic self-help course
What? No Whiskey? *GLARES*
Oooh...can't drink the tequila.
crossy, go to mexico next time, and save yourself!
opps..and a case of ballenitines for judi
Just kidding. Hate whiskey.
Love whiskey!

Oh my. Thanks for the hints, i was about to get strangled by the thinking cap.
uni i have been friended by someone but i do not recognize them
what do i do?
On facebook?
you could send them an email through fb and ask who they are
If so, you can always send them a message asking who they are/how you know them. I run into trouble when 'friending' babblers sometimes. Although, I changed my settings so I can't be searched or added, so I don't get that anymore :)
well it must be someone who knows my real name - umless they are just searching babblers
uni how do you like my icon?!
thats fireworks for me - time to get ready for work tomorrow - good luck to the rest of you
wtg, kaz!
Congratulations Kazzer!
I know that there are some people who just add anyone who comes their way, but I always like to ask the person how I know them and then decide. I know that Ata has started a master list of babblers on facebook and that many are connecting via that list.
hi guys!
I know this is going to sound strange but are they a male with their first name beginning with a w?
hey chixie!
no
owl, how come you are not playing lexulous on facebook with me?

Hiya everyone
hi movie
Hi, all! Lovely sun, sprite! I'm behind because my net went down yesterday, with about 10 words left! :( Just now came back up. :D
I have a new icon, btw
walked the dog today and wasn't exhausted afterwards, and only slept one hour in the middag. So things are getting better! Will go to a spa with a friend tomorrow, all day. Bet I will be back on my feet after that!
hi movie my man, and hi rbud
rbud, that happened to me too, night before last
great one, movieman
how frustrating, rbud.
movie, I have a movie question for you! Do you know in which movie a woman opens a bag and an eye comes out?
My Stepmother is an Alien, sprite
It stars a young Allison Hannigan
you rock! Will tell my friend, she will be so happy now that she can see that movie again, now that she knows the name!
MY stepmother looks like the alien in Predator 2..
glad to be of service
told her, she is in the room next to mine, lol. She says THANKS a LOT!
lol ruru, that interesting huh
especially when she removes her helmet
Kim Basinger and Dan Aykroyd are in it as well
sounds like a movie I should see some day then
And a 14 year old Seth Green
So, it stars TWO Buffy cast members
you are amazing, movieman. All I ever remember from movies are the images and the lines. Not the title nor the actors.
It's just a movie I remember seeing during my childhood
I admire your memory.
I have my Asperger's to thank for that, sprite
Hi, all
hi pam
hola pam
I see, so maybe not a totally happy thing. But you really helped my friend and her sister :)

does it trouble you, movie? Do you wake fully rested or are you tired?
Usually I wake up pretty refreshed, but I gradually get more and more tired as the day goes on
And I find myself having the occasional nap now and then
It's probably a result of my obesity
so I have been put on a low-carb diet
it seems sometimes they can do something about it. I keep telling my love he should get it looked into. Is that a tough diet, movie? Losing weight isn't easy (I know!)
Pretty tough, I'm not allowed anything with sugar in neither(so no fruit even)
argh! That is really tough! I wish you all kinds of luck with it, and may it work fast.
I must be off to bed myself now, bye all. Will probably not play tomorrow, as I will be in a spa all day. *hugs*
thank you sprite, I'm already down to 17 and a half stone (from my starting weight of just under 18)
Night, Sprite (hey that rhymes!!!!)
bye sprite, hagd tomorrow.

About 245 lbs pida, so I have a long way to go
oops, don't know what happened
And I'm only 5 foot 7

Like having icons that keep you guessing/predicting

clue for do 7 pls
more able to avoid the ball, boobear

whew I thought you guys were taling about Potheads and I didn't know if Michael Phelps was here.
rbud, great movie, IMO
well, the local kids all call him Harry whatyousaid, ru, and he's not "cool" anymore, I guess. But I still love the movies.
I have to say I enjoy the movies.. they are fun and entertaining
love that kind of Lord of the rings kind of fairy tales..
I am watching Harry Potter
who cares if the kids think he's cool or not? seriously. 8-)
You are singularly obsessed with Michael Phelps's fall, ruru. Why is that?
The sets are so amazing, and all the creatures, like the flying whatever-it-was that you can ride on, love that one.
I just like taking potshots at him pam.. that's all
I agree--the Potter films are fun!
LOLOL
hi everyone!
(been waiting for that opportunity)
Hello LBD
hiya dawg
hiya, dawg! (I'll bet you have, ru! lol!!)
hi ya RU! causing trouble i see. Hi Gwen!
wha? who? me?
Hi rbud!
I just think it is cool that he has more gold around his neck than more rap stars and he is white..
Hi, LBD!
oh certainly i must be mistaken..must be your evil twin
Hi Pam!
most rap stars**
how could i not like the harry potter movies? i mean, in movie 4 they have a tent that's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. (not original but still cool)
Potshots, eh? I can't believe I gave you that opportunity!
Not original? I would never know that, BDG!
i like the fact that the tent comes furnished! lol
(pam ... my set-up person)
(and your grateful wine tip recipient)
pam, doctor who's ship (1963) bigger on the inside than the outside. not to mentin the spice girls' bus
oh, yes, I SO want a tent like that!
clue fof the middle do 5/12 after the first do 4/5
Oh, thanks BDG! I never saw Dr Who.
spice girls bus or butt?
ruru, stop that LOL
beds, not cots, fueled stove, filled larder! and i suppose a loo
Poshy
the tent had alcoves, too. very nice
do + ***imated time of arrival...
she is going to sit on Beckham some day and crush him
do** anyone know what time it is?
ty
that would give a whole new meaning to "do it like Beckham"
6:30 LBD
do4 anybody care? about time? if so i can't imagine why, oh no
ty ru...that was a clue for boo. ;)
I know.. just pulling your chain...
*sigh*, i just realized that. been a long HOT day for me.
how hot?
91
i start whining at 80
same as here
lol
I actually like it hotter
weather liars say it's suppose to cool down to 70's tomorrow.
they are liars...
i'm a mountain girl. i like cool temps. no like hot!
I rely on Pam's head myself for my weather update
used to rely on my knees, but age has kinda messed that up. they hurt all the time now.
the reason weather forecasts are so bad is that they aren't taking into account all the fricking man-made crap, like jet planes and air conditioners, that affect te weather
not only that, but they keep saying the radar shows...uhm, we don't have radar cuz of the mountains.
anyone here remember the great blackout og 2003? power failure from east coast to midwest?
yes
i remember that! MIL was freaked.
and the other big blackout too
well, once every fridge and air conditioner and electric gadget was turned off, temp dropped by like 3 degrees. unforecast rain. stuff like that
my college years from 1972-1978
lol, ru
I kept up a 4.0 for all those years too
it was an interested 3 days
(but that was blood alcohol not a GPA)
lol
you're bad, ru
hey!
yes gwen?
how did we get on college grades? i thought we were talking about weather forecasting !!! 8-)
I was talking about my blackout period
lol
OY
Vey
did i mention i
he's incorrigible, Gwen
did I mention I'm slow? lol
?
just found a pile of fe5 in the grid. how apt.
blame the heat, Gwen. it works for me! lol
Iam too pooped to look for it
*groan*
ar ar, humor!
actually fe 5 is my MIL's horoscope sign..
and i just found the cause: too much fi5 in the diet, ar ar
i thought the first be5.14 was a brand name.
nope!
clue for en 6 pls
it must have 'passed' enable LBD
OK, tried catching up.... your blackout period? That's funny, ruru!
en+ indentured servant
en + what the beach boys do
sorta
I like the cooler weather, too, lbd. My headaches this weekend are hormonal and temp changes.. GRRRR
Ru, had no wine this weekend. But yesterday, after wandering around the Tall Ships--scaled down-- I had the MOST DELIGHTFUL pints of Gunness!!!!
Pam likes my sicko humor LBD...
be5.14 is chiefly a brit slang for beanfest! rofl!
ty ruru and lb
you can drink beer and it doesn't affect you as much as wine?
that's because Pam's a sweetheart, and wouldn't tell you what a stinker you are. besides she likes the wine you recommend. ;)
I like Dark beers.. but beer gives me headaches
love you too lbd
lol
xoxoxoxo, ru

haha, Gwen!
found a interesting book at the flea market last week gwen.....
goblet of fire: ~)---|
oh, do tell!
oooh nice, gwen
its a harcover first ed yet of a book called failsafe by eugine burdick 1963,missing dust cover ,but otherwise very,very good condition and full of that special old book smell that i love:))
great find, crossy!
cross, if it's missing the jacket, how can you be sure it's a first?
i know the story but it is a great read anyways
well there are no reprint dates on the inside,i guess it could be the tail end of the first run,my knoledge is scetchy in that regard
damn typos
not all reprints are noted as reprints, and novels often state first edition and are not. it's damn tricky
my favorite amazing keyboard art site: http://tiny.cc/0Jpwl
and i know they had umpteen reprints on this novel
mmm,its still a great book and for 5 dollars i almost ran to the car
all my softcovers are falling apart and i made myself a hobby of trying to replace them all in hardcovers..damn hard in some cases!
some of the farley mowatt titles are very hard to get in hard cover:((
BTW, I am the new librarian in our tiny town library, have been finding all sorts of very old jewels in the shelves, not sure if they're valuable, but certainly interesting
wow, some people really have too much time on their hands. but neat ascii art
nice job indeed ibd;))
quite a website, there, TY rbud
lol rbud,id get fired in a week for reading while on duty
often i have someone show be a "first edition" and it's not. but hey, you could have one, I don't know
welp, if no one needs any clues, i think i'm going to go play a little bookworm then head for my pillows.
afternoon all :)
6 to go here. clue for de6 and 7?
(((MRP)))
it matters not to me gwen,it is a replacement for a falling apart sofcover and i will enjoy it if it is the first one off the press or not:))
hi, mrp!

wazaaaaap, Mr President?
OMG, fish me again, TY dawg!

ooop
so, anyone from ohio in here?
Oh my god this new version of Firefox is getting on my bloody nerves now
spent a week there once, gwen.
When I switch tabs it all of a sudden opens one up in a new window, out of the blue
a whole week? you have the stamina LOL
So it really screws up my browsing, and gets on my nerves and slows down my computer at the same time
rushdie, you might want to turn off the tabs
I enjoy tabbed browsing
was paid to be there for a conference. in the dead of winter.
But it takes a tab and opens it in a new window
And having 5 windows open at a time takes a lot of memory
that would drive me bonkers, rushie.
tools > options > tabs > and click on the radio button for "new window"
clue for the first fe 5 / 18 please
I want the tabs though
I want to keep them in one window
ty for the be-- kids asked me to turn out the light so i had to move'
your puter should be able to run 5 browsers at once without running low on memory. have you done maintenance lately? (disc cleanup or defrag)
And not have it randomly open them, refresh them and lag my computer to hell
Well, it's a 7 year old computer running on 512 RAM
fe5- excrement
fe5, a really big pile of fe***
wvtech, poo
hi Dorens.
rush, i have 512 RAM and my puter is also 7 years old, less about a month. your problem might lie elsewhere
Well that isn't the issue at hand
It's a pain in the ass having new browsers sprouting up out of nowhere just switching tabs
Like I don't know if there's a birth control pill for FireFox but there should be :@
you might want to check firefoxes updates to see if there's been a complaint or a patch for the problem
have you tried rambooster?
lol rushie! (i currently have 7 tabs open)
It just did it twice in the last 5 minutes
re5-16 please. Thanks
Well feather it's like you're going to a babble from another tab
mine's been fine, btw. i'd check for updates possibly.
And the one you were visiting opens a new window
re+ **cause I said so
weird. i assume you've searched through all your settings?
I'll look again
I'll look again
ergh, re + ***ause i said so. i should have just typed in the word! sheesh
hello

5 left for me (and secondo!)
29 to go
Have di8 from an earlier fairly explicit clue .. What's the other 8 plzzzzzz???
ne 8
oooh, i'd better look for the earlier fairly explicit clue, the other one is ne8
Go Trifioso go!
Is ne8 as weird as the di8??
Go Trifs!
it's a babblet torg, i always think it's the name of a constellation
not if you have the ne6
Something deep within my do7 memory helped me monkey that .. Thanks!!!!
sc5/12?
OK stop teasing, I need the cues for ne8 and di8. I don't have the ne6 to work from either, thanks
The sc5/12 is s plus spanish word for dinner harpjane
An sc5/12 is acronym for more than one skin problem
thanks
di 8/45:perish + sounds like peanut butter cup maker
An ne8/45 is plural of the ne6/21 word Marc Freeman
HI Marc Freeman! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
ce5,18?
ne6 = ne + an anagram of what you do when you sit on a moving horse, Marc. You **** it.
ce 5/18 : ce+what youj do at auction forwardbyfaith
ne8 is the plural, adding a vowel and a consonant at the end.
thanks Min
yw
se6/21?
s6/21 is what you may do with ouija board harpjane.

my brain just isn't working tonight. husband was home frome hospital for less then 24 hours and I had to take him back
se7 i the plural.
Sorry to hear about husband bekki. What happened?
Oh dear bekki, why?
Jacula if you can clue for awhile, then I can go to bed
Min - I shouldn't be here! It's 4.37am and I've had a very busy day. I can clue for a while though.
he has a lot of health problems. renal failure, diabetes, just got a pace maker and now his toe is bad . the dr said let it just rot and fall off
he lost his left leg six years ago
Not all who wander are lost ..
Thanks I finally got it.
I love that expression, torgone!
Well if you have to let it rot and fall off,shouldn't you just get it amputated? Not nice of doctor to say that
Min - I agree with you about what the doctor said. That's very blunt and unkind.
first ce5,12?
I have never heard that expression before torgone.
Bekki - is/was your hubby a heavy smoker?
Or is it the diabetes causing that?
I know I thought they would take it but they want to do this crazy thing the nurse even thinks its crazy
bekki, has he been non-compliant? Did the doctor say that in frustration or what?
ce 5/12 is end of a fragrance: in***** forwardbyfaith.
he doesn't smoke or drink
that
tha's good
FIREWORKS!!! woot woot
Bekki - it's the diabetes then.
Well done, Trif.
Mine does both and I'm dreading what might lie ahead
Congratulations Trifioso on fireworks!Hooray for you
thanks Min - that helped me finish off the c's
Min - I do both! I also dread what might lie ahead.
he wants them to cut it off. and he has good insurance
But, oddly enough, I'm more concerned about my Other Half, who also does both.
YayTrifio! WTG
Yay Trifs!!
bekki,I'm wishing you&your husband the best of luck!
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
Goodnight Min
thank you today day they told me that he will need to go to a nursing home

My Other Half's sister's diabetic partner recently had his big toe cut off. Other Half's Dad took him to the hospital. The next time he had to take someone there, it was Other Half's Mum to have her breast removed. Next one with health probs was Other Half, but his were in the 'wedding tackle' region. His Dad offered him a lift, saying, 'I don't really want to take anyone else there because they seem to come back with bits missings!' Other Half declined his Dad's offer of a lift and my son took him instead.
I have no idea. I think because of age and other health problems they have given up on him
thanks!
Bekki - it might not be that they hae given up on him. Maybe it would be less stressful on his heart if the toe dropped off naturally?
but it is stressful for me to see it
its looks bad
paced
sorry
I understand that, Bekki. MyMum' neighbour's hub had diabetes but was also a drinker and smoker. She had to dress and undress him in the end and told us about removing his socks... and...
bekki, keep it covered. If it is dry and brittle it may fall off and he might not have to worry about the effects of more meds on the kidney function
Thing is, an op might not be the best thing for him.
And, as Nef just said... it might be the best option.
they want me to clean and bandage it twice a day yuck
it sucks getting old
how old is he bekki?
padded
You getused to dealing with things in the end, Bekki, yuk or otherwise.
Yes, Bekki, it does.
he just turned 76
en6,27 please?
en6/27 = en + the servant/slave word from olden times.
(End bit sounds like what you do when you ri4 the waves
ty Jacula
y/w forward.
12 year gap between you and your hubby, I see, Bekki. Just like me and mine, but I'm the older one.
tonight I feel like the old one
Bekki - it's understanable that you're feeling low, and somewhat put upon. It's only human.
*understandable, I meant.
I didn't get much sleep last night.. hope I sleep good tonight
I hope you do, too, bekki. It can feel so lonely being a carer at times.
hello -- finished a few hours ago -- can clue if needed
Hi Jilli. You can take over from me in a while then, since its 5.01am here.
so sorry you're going through such a had time, bekki
se6,21?
se6/21 -- gathering of people to meet ghosts etc
se6.21 is the ritual to speak with the dead, via ouija board or table with alphabet cards and a glass.
seonce
diff vowel in the middle, bekki
Bekki - change the 3rd letter.
ty jilli
i think it time for me to quit and go to bed
se7,40?
Try to get some rest, Bekki, and if things get on top of you again, don't hesitate to come back here. You will always find an understanding ear.
se7/40 = more peaty.
plural, forward
hi, jacula and jillibus and forward and bekki et al :)
Hi dcs.
hi dc
hi, nef
fideo = noodle in Spanish
thank you everyone for hearing me out. sorry for bending your ears. good nite
Don't apologise bekki. We all do it at times.
hello dc (just went to change the TV channel to music)
g'night bekki, sweet dreams
good night, bekki, and I mean it.
nice to have that option today, isn't it, jilli
yes indeed!
Life's pretty tough on all of us at times, isn't it? It's nice to have a soundng board here.
didn't understand the se7,40 clue
indeed so, jacula
se7 is plural of the talking to the dead se6
s + e6/27 (more nervous).
that's the 7,32
faith, do you have ed6/27?
dc, that's se7/32
oopsie, ty jili :)
I've clued, without giving 3rd letter away. LOL
yes got it - thanks - last word I have is a 4 so hopefully I can find it on my own lol!
don't count on it, faith!
You took the words right out of my mouth, Jilli.
yes, jac *slapping self on wrist*
I'm not jilli - I've been looking for 10 minutes and still can't find it - I hope it's not a common word!
Last word I found was one I thought I'd already typed in - a we word for piddles.
the wristslap was for giving the 3rd letter
same here jacula - I just found it but I KNOW I typed it once before
Heh, Jilli!:-D
mine was the we4 for tinier.
jac, is that you dog in the icon?
your
Tinier? Never thought of the word that way, jilli, I just saw it as a word for someone who's piddling. LOL
Jilli - it WAS my dog, but he's been gone about 13 years now.
I looked it up
awww, jac
this is a tough grid
Not had a dog since. Cats keep finding me.
well, Cedric's been gone for about 30 years
but the memories are still alive
Anyway, the trauma of having to take him on his final journey after 18 years of love and companionship is somethings I can't get over. My old cat, who I had for 6 years also caused me similar grief, but at leat I have her remains in a box on a shelf next to her favourite chair (she was an indoors type of girl after having to have an outsoors sort of life). I was so upset when I took my dog, I forgot to ask for himm back.:((((((
god, it's hard, I know
okay, could someone clue me the ap 5/12 and the ap6/21 please? I am not finding these; and I keep thinkking they are easy!
sleep ap5
breathing problems, nef, 2 spellings
oh, dear! And my DH has just been put on a CPAP mask for that very reason! Thank you!
oh LOL!
Jilli - he didn't leave me. I know this sounds weird. In times of need and sometimes when I wasn't even thinking about him, he'd be with me. I'd feel him and also see him out of the corner of my eye. My old cat does that now, too.
the ones we love never leave, jac
enough. I'm getting maudlin.
di8 is a lovely word :)
now that would be a good babbleword
I mean maudlin
the def of the di8 here says it's not used much now in English. Phooey.
yes, few write coöperate any longer
didn't know it was called that, though -- or forgot is more likely.
or reëducate for that matter
but there's Zöe and Löis...
indeed :)
although my gd lois doesn't use it
i was taught to spell like that, but it had fallen out of fashion here in NA by time i was 10 or 12.
me too, dc
of course, i was taught to double final consonants when adding a suffix - stopped, labbelled and the like, too. Especially with the Ls one rarely sees that any longer.
oh yes we do, in Brit and Canadian spelling. My book about Danes is the Time Traveller.
I was taught that way, too re the names etc.
Americans keep "correcting" it to Traveler, grrr.
is the usage of enrol instead of enroll in Canada due to French? for NEXUS, we have US ENrollment Centers and Canadian Enrolment Centres.
Grrr indeed!
yes, that is VERY frustrating, jilli. I teach MS Word the proper spellings every time i'm using a new instance.
I have no idea, dc. Canadian spelling is real mixture and very inconsistent.
I don't use spell checkers. They don't know what they are checking about. LOL
I correct spell checkers.
but it's such fun to see them screw up, jac :)
yes, as do i jilli; it's easy to do
I actually corrected a small Oxford dictionary when I was young. They spelt the plant part "calix" instead of "calyx"
nifty, jill :)
hint for do7, pls?
Language IS fascinating, though. Especially English, whih is a mongrel that grows and changes constantly. My son and I were talking about languages earlier, and how elementsof many languages are to be found in English.
do7 -- more shifty
a-ha! Ty. I knew that consonant cluster had to get used somehow :)
Jilli - you're so like me! I once corrected a thesaurus.
yw, dc :D
well, nobody's perfect except us, eh jac?
dc, that cluster gets used a lot here
LOL, Jilli. Of course they are not.
i am going to have to throw in the towel on this one
i'll never find the last 56 in the next 25 min
oh no, dc!
oh well, I see what you mean...
i started late, then had to run errands and get to my D&D game, and 88 in an hour was not to be this grid :)
Precocious thenm Jilli, and 'a pain in the butt now'.:-) Long may it be so!
but i brought 2 people back from the dead in the D&D game tonight - one of them twice. :)
Hear, Hear, jacula :)
'Tis a miracle worker you are, dcs, to be sure. LOL
1st de6?
btw, dc, just checked your profile and it's "to wit"...will now check the link
being a Cleric helps.
de6 (1st) to remove the headmaster's spanking implement?
de6 -- remove the seat from a raffia chair (?)
if it loads, i'll find and correct it.
I thought of that too, jac, lol!
ty, jac
y/w dcs.
did mine make sense?
It did to me, jilli.
oh, jilli, twas yours i read, though jac's makes sense, though it was paddles when/where i grew up.
Must be more 'kinky' where you grew up, dcs. LOL
paddles would have been less painful, I think
Cat 'o Nine Tails, anyone?
they outlawed paddling, and all forms of corporal punishment, here commonwealth-wide when i was 13.
Jilli - I've no idea, not ever having been spanked.
i have 2 of those
don't know where they are, other than a box in the storeroom, though
You do, dcs??
oh, it's a painful subject in my little family. Son fells emontionally crippled by a sadistic housemaster.
i do indeed, jac.
I was spanked lots. Probably deserved it.
topic dropped jilli, sorry to hear :/
Hello all
Hi rushie!
hello, rushie
Hi jilli
Hi dcs
I had the fan going all day in my room, and last night when I went to go to bed it was 30 Celcius
Celsius*
dc, have you joined jc on yahoo?
Needless to say I slept on the couch
rushie, quite a temp change today, eh?
Yup
I hate being roasting hot
i have, jill
I could stand a 7 month winter, should move up to Fort Mac
good, dc. I'm still lost there
It doesn't matter what temp surrounds me these days, I go from hot flush (flash) to freezing in a matter of minutes.
I could stand a 12 month summer.
it's warm here mostly from April to October. We used to get out of school for heat sometimes back before AC was common.
I'm so glad I was spared that, jac -- don't know why
Well, my nose has been seriously buried in the grid and I still have 51 left. And I'm tired; so won't finish tonight
back in a mo -- loo break
I'm glad you were Jilli but I wish I was, too.
I wish I could have 40 below when I needed it
yes, the 2nd half of this one has been very tough, nef
psssssssssssssssh! That's Jilli's look break, LOL.
Loo break, rather.
...
I prefer to not think about what the break is for
Many languages use a 'ps' sound for urination. I assume that's because the word was formed from the sound.
hello everyone I am done
Hey west
Maybe I should have said "I'm taking a wee break"
hi rush
YAY west!!!
So am I West and Hello to you, too.
lol hi jilli
Jilli - you've gone all Scottish on me. LOL
hello jac I'm just now done hid the chat and almost had to ask for help
but I made it...
now someone yay me
Let's test Jilli's knowledge of Northern Britain. What is a 'netty'?
I mean please
I YAYed you, west!!!
that sounded like a command
thanks jilli I didn't see
Well done West! "~"~"~"~"~"
no idea, jac -- I was a southerner
thanks jac too
what is a 'netty?
A'netty', Jilli - is a Geordie bog or toilet.
is it outdoors?
WTG, westford. <still buried in grid>
just looked it up, jac. Next question -- exactly what is a Geordie and why?
hi nef and thanks
wee geordie
I gather a geordie is someone maybe just over the northern border?
Apparently there is a substantial difference between British and English
I heard all about it, second hand experience from someone else's mistake
there are so many kinds of English
I mean language
Yes, it's a very confusing class system
Yes, it's a very confusing class system
Yes, it's a very confusing class system
Yes, it's a very confusing class system
Yes, it's a very confusing class system
Chog lagged sorry
and so many places it comes from
holy smokes did it ever
British is not the same as English.
Yes, I made the mistake and learned the difference from someone who's made it to an English person
most of my English friends say they are from England not Great Britain
but parcels sent there say GB
Well, the way I look at it it's like me being called a North American
