wtg
ty dee
gj stid!!
down to 9...
sheesh, missed the flip -- so busy finding a cocktail for the icon theme!
hello jill
yw... can't find the stupid 8 though
39! I thought there was a higher minimum that DrG would allow through. Hello everyone
bottom row grey!
me neither, dee, but that's not surprising.
mmm, west, yours sounds good but I don't have any campari handy
hi lynxxx
hey lynxxx!
help with the bottom e please
hi jilli maybe you can substitute something else
okay, down to 8 and really going now. you want a volcano, dee?
however you won't be able to dance like she did

mother's side
grr why do I always forget that
thanks for the volcano, stid
nbt with a bad word
*hands dee fishes* going to hope stidkid #1 is finally on a plane to Cairns, apparently the one he was supposed to get on in Sydney was grounded for thunderstorms. And so we are STILL waiting for the call that he is safely done with flying for a couple weeks.
west, it does sound rather sweet, though
go west go! *wonderign what bad word it could be*
not so bad as slangy look down your shirt and spell attic
the flying takes so long but imagine if he went there on a ship
*puzzling over west's clue* methinks the papers titled "Neuroimaging and research into second language acquisition" and "Modulation of Frontal Lobe Speech Areas Associated with the Production and Perception of Speech Movements" look easier
true, a ship would be far more nerve-wracking for me!
those papers sound very interesting, stid
don't be so literal stid lol
*grinning at west*
it's an old junior high joke
and that's the word I used for nbt
Stidkid#1 was in Sydney! they even has a Tsusami warning yesterday
LOL I think I know which word it was west!
the threat is over
fanatik is in the grid...that doesn't count, does it?
te8
he IS in Sydney, as far as I know... I read about the tsunami warning from the earthquake off NZ. Of course it happens when my own kid is over there! LOL
I was worried about kiwi we haven't see her here in a long while

lovely photo maybe but the danged things won't leave my garden alone and you can't shoo them away either, they're so tame.
hi all measly grid :(
damned, I mean

hi just a cutesy name
My cousin was telling me that the hardware stores are selling a motion sensor you can hook up to your garden hose that will turn the water on -- supposed to scare them away, but me running up to them broom in hand doesn't really bother them, so they would probably just stick their tongues out to get a drink!
Congrats Pug & Metfan!

wish i could help out with that one but i'm useless with a mac

it's funny but I only seem to have trouble seeing jilli's icon from time to time
that's spooky!
I have it jilli but not sure which one it is...possible a person who rents an abode?

night melon, lol!
night melon
yay melon !!
yep
oookay ...and what did he say? :)
TS? tought sh*t?
said not going to happen
written in stone bab?
I find it curious that in a game like the old tangleword or now serpentine....you get grids every 2 minutes....ergo there are thousands upon thousands of grids out there to be had...why choose a little bitty one?
maybe he has no control
ok I have 1 left it's a 5 and it's a t from under the w
he is not going to listen to a gadfly like me .. I expect he also gets input from those who say the grids are too large
lol can't please everyone, eh?
I'm missing 2 from that T
there's a tw word but I don't have it
holy cow, smallest grid but one that i've ever seen. (hi all)

Stid aced this grid in very short order
got it, ty
well she's smart! :)
stid is amazing
6 left
te8 is a noun
very competitive must go back to her childhood
it may be a noun but it was a great clue imho
it was just
Dee was first to finish
aww thx (((westie)))
that's right bab was surprised she was here so early
Dee's pretty smart too!
I am out of my realm here but I just come for the fun
I did like Tangle though
me too west and my competiveness (sp?) is only against myself
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other. --Rainer Maria Rilke
hurry up then breathe for a minute
stuck with 13 to go. is the 8 a compound word?
lovely bab and Rilke
I thought Tangle was a speed test -- never played it
well unfortuneately bab...the 2 solitudes where I live don;t exactly do that :(
it is jilli but there were a great bunch of people there too
te8 - regarding renters
just, did you ever read Hugh Maclennan's book of that title?
then we'd get hackers who would score 4000 points so they had to shut it down
yes many years ago jilli
OH GEE smack me with a fish -- a whovia who can't fin te6 / te8 !!!!
but serpentine has no cheaters ...
and TY flosey 8-)
very good book, I thought
fireworks
I need to try that again but need a mouse
not difficult at all!
what book may I ask?
te - a landlord has a te 6/18; the te 6/18 has a te 8/50 -- another word for a leasehold
yes I did too jilli
YAY josh!!!
yay josh !!
wtg joshua !!! ~~~ !!!
Two Solitudes, westie
wtg josh
Two Solitudes, west -- about the anglos and francos in Quebec
about the English and French in Quebec
I think I'd like to read that
20 minutes. that might be the quickest i have finished a grid
and guess what? Gordon Lightfoot is coming to Providence
okay now stuck at 10 8-(
oh really? do you like him?
west, thanks have changed a lot since itwas written
I do very much
that was supposed to be THINGS have changed...
yeah he's not bad for an early home grown ie canadian singer...
Ian and Slyvia had a beautiful song about it
gordon lightfoot : the poor man's stan rogers LOL
I'm stuck with 7 left
oh my westie...you're sure up on your older canadian singers!
lessee, i need some Ts, some Ts, and some more Ts . . . argh
gwen I just read about Stan he died in his early 30's because he went back into a burning plane to rescue other passengers
westford knows music
you like whatshername too? anne??can't remember her last name geez...
lots of really good singers come out of Canada
westford, partly true, and a great story
Murray -- my maiden name
murray? not particularly
right jilli thanks
I surely can live without Celine...ain't one of my faves
I believe everything I read book lol
why are you all drinking? is that the icon theme today? (if so, my dalek is a decanter LOL)
she was manufactured wasn't she?
yes, gwen, it's the theme
except my decanter is full of ice cream, not booze
kje suggested it wonder what hers will be?
only two of us doing it, though :(
the rest are drinking theirs jilli lol
it's amazing how many who suggest a theme don't follow it
i once made $100 off celine so as far as that goes, she's okay with me
my fav. would be Pina Colada if I could change my icon!! will when I get home
she might I know she likes different kinds of martinis
this is my drink of choice
i once had a drink called a zombie. fun name. tasked awful. i did not finish it.
we have so much liquor and we never drink it
might have to refresh
those are lethal
I'll help you rid those dust collecting bottles westie! :)
come on down lol
I liked grasshoppers -- 3 Cs -- Cognac, Creme de Menthe and Cream -- smoooooth

he has a beer when he finishes working for the day and we have a glass of wine with dinner

ouch pb for jilli lol
jilli, mine was a clue, not a plea for help 8-)
I was starting to give gwen a clue...
Hi all 4 to go.Drinks theme was obvious for me.
hi silver
and TY just, got it. adding to list.
Hi Just
not quite a fan of that but my son was :)
hi ho
yw book!
hi silver -- the theme was not just drinks -- it was "A new Cocktail Recipe"
oh well for me add tonic and voila!
how many more cocktails do we need? sheesh lol
Ohh ! Back to the drawing board Lol.
a piece of lemon or lime if you like is fine too
one part grape juice, one part Vernors ginger ale. Done.
lol book....make that maybe cranberry juice (unsweetened) good for urinary tracts!
Hi all - What a teeny weeny grid
Hi Soodle
I don't know what Vernors ginger ale is...all I know is Canada Dry or Shweppes
no, it's a real recipe, got it from my mom, she learned it when she was little
Hey there Mr Guinness!!
or store brand yech
vernors ginger ale is a detroit product, although you can get it elsewhere. way better than all other ginger ales, yum!
do they make it sugar free too?
I thought there was a drinks theme Soodle ,but it was for cocktails.So Guinness and black.Lol.
I was in detroit a couple of times....but never saw that prob cause I never looked
yeah, there's sugar-free vernors, but i would not drink it. sugar is still healthier than that aspartame crap
they do have great mediteranean (sp?) food tho...
no ceffeine in vernors, though, so i drink it for my soda-fix when i'm avoiding coke
well I disagree with you there but that's okay
If yoou need to know the theme you can always check my profile, or better still, check Sprite's or http://tinyurl.com/6z7unz
well the do have caffeine free coke here and diet version too..
aspartame is a neurotoxin. not good.
Hi
and refined sugar is total poison...
yuck! diet, caffeine-free pop? pointless!! like beer without beer in it. lol
hi herin
hiya herin ..long time no see
Busy with work
well that's the beauty of diversity book! to each his/her own!
Hugs Hi OSGMA. I am having an issue
Keep clear of that aspartame.I am diabetic and it caused me some problems.
some drinks are sweetened now with splenda (yech)
i do avoid aspartame. and it tastes bad to me anyway, so it's easy to avoid
I have a question to ask my intelligent Babble people
my bro in law is diabetic and crap he drinks like a dozen diet cokes a day
that's how I feel about splenda
so jilli...you wanting some more clues.....or shall I leave?
waiting herin....:)
isn't splenda some kind of fructose?
Ok what do you think about programs that support young offenders that have been imprisioned
not sure Gwen...just know that it's like calorie free like equal
4 to go, OY
hello all - could someone list the A's i am missing one
herin, i support all forms of restorative justice
an 4,5,4,5 at 6
nm i found it
(looking up splenda . . .)
I am in a quandary.I don't know whether I agree on the concept or not. it is something we have to do for class
splenda evidentally doesn't break down in heat so it;s used for baking a lot
I think it depends on the crime herin....
murder..definately not...prosecute to the full extent of the law
we are talking about very serious offences. Some of the kids are in there for murder
hmmm, seems splenda is made of sucralose, which is a diff kind of plastic sweetener than aspartame, and which does not become a neurotoxin under heat (which aspartame does)
herin, the principle is sound whether the person was charged with a serious crime or not.
well I never bake with aspartame...so I guess I'm safe...besides maybe I have 4 8 oz glasses of soft drinks a week if that much
I am concerned that I am going to be raising funds to potentially help a person that has committed a very serious crime, like murder and assault.
I have absolutely no kindness towards young offenders who do serious crimes like that...imho
My question is does any one deserve a second chance and half of me says no and half says yes. I just don't know
if you have a bottle of diet soda (aspartame) and you accidentally leave it in your car on a hot day, it become toxic.
like I said...depends on the actural crime and the circumstances surrounding it herin
this is my concern. do you help people better themself that could reoffend or do you say stuff you.
but then I'd never drink it gwen!
herin, everyone deserves a second chance. (okay, there are probably a few exceptions, like people with severe psychosis, but most convict are not that)
do you have to generalize herin or is this based on actual crimes?
This is to raise money for an organisation that helps young offenders.
i have a friend who drank some diet pop that got overheated -- he was too poor to just throw it out, he said -- and had difficulty walking for a week
oh that is sad gwen...
so, sugery pop for me, please 8-)
just, I'm down to 2 T words, a 4 and a 5 -- I have ta 4, 5, te 4, 4, 6, 8, 5, 4, ti 5, tr 4, tw 5, ty 4, 4
only sugary pop I'll drink is the shweppes tonic that goes with my beefeater (wink)
I am so in a quandary. I take after my dad on one side that says stuff you you did the crime of rape murder assualt got in a car drove it at high speed and killed some one stuff you. And half like my mum which is you deserve help
looking jilli...
ta's are complete
herin, consider this: we have drug laws based on the worst case drug addicts and giving them ridiculous punishments for non-violent possession. wouldn't it be better to get these "criminals" out of jail/prison where they cost money, and back in to the world where they can make money and pay taxes again?
good to know, just...
te's done too
jilli another ti5 and a ty4
1 ti 5
what babies suck on
yes Gwen that is part of my thinking but it is so hard
want points for tymp!!
or the head of a company
and another ty
thanks gladys
finally down to 3, OY
yw jilli
just, I have the ti sucky
the other is ti + getting a sun t**
but will look for another ti5 -- and can't imagine a 3rd ty...
a british wheel for a car...ty
OK ok I have to think hard
I think
ti5, a giant
an anogram of that
and what we do here to enter our words
oh shame on me, just -- that's was the name of our first Dane and the begining of our kennel name and I always miss seeing it!
DOS
which jilli the ti?
I have the british wheel part
i need the second a5, plz and ty
the ti5, just
ok so take that and change around those 4 letters
the person who fastens a shoe is a ty--

Good morning. The stats are in my bio and in BabAnon for anyone that wants them.
thanks jac
Good morning Jacula.
Hello Haz & y/w Nono.
I'd better go and get my shopping list sorted so I can go out and get what I need before the predicted heavy rain comes.

See you later, Jacula. Apparently tomorrow is going to be bad.

yep
Eva you cat has a gorgeous face
He is very handsome isn't he Nono. How is the tiny grid, nice or nasty?
Good morning FM. It's quite benign, for a small grid.
wow grid looks yucky
gm all
Oh hi there Haz!
am having an early lunch after being ousted for a viewing this morning so a bit of babble and then the inevitable work.
He says thank you-we tell him how beautiful he is many times a day...probably not good for his ego, but we can't help it. Are all of thos cats yours?! The brown longhair looks very much like Merp-that Maine Coon body type.
Don't they let you stay around to tell how wonderful your place is?
Good morning lynnate.
no - I have to disappear. We agreed it that way.
Fingers crossed for you.
Is S keeping occupied and not under your feet too much or are you hiding in babbleland?
He's keeping occupied, lots of hedges to cut at his sister's place.
The good news is that we have finally finished the bedroom. The doors were fitted this morning.
hallelujah!
Amen, sister!
lol, those doors did take their time.
I have to say that it's looking good. I never imagined it would take so long to get the whole thing done, but it's finished.
Phone...
And back.
that was brief, in the mean time I have terrorised the t's :)
Terrific!
totaly ;)
You're doing your usual backward approach?
yes, it may seem perverse but it works for me.
not that i usually manage to grey each tile as I go.
It's just interesting that people have different approaches and methods.
very true, and the only reason I work backwards is that I can see the list of words I am working and can catch pls etc, or at least that is the theory.
Some day I'll try it to see.
It works well on the medium sized grid but with the big one it all tends to go out of the window and the monkeys kick in about half way though. Lovely sunny day here btw.
Yes. nice here as well but the forecast for tomorrow isn't great. We had some really heavy downpours yesterday but it'ls looking quite settled today.
Blimey 7 left, it is a benign grid!
I told you.
not that I was doubting you or anything but v unusual for such a small one!
3 stubborn ones left
I know. Usually the small ones have a few normal words and the rest have to be teased out. This is a different story.
wtg Eva and good morning :) 5 left all the a's.
Getting ready for applause.
well that was that!
2 t's and an n for me
Well done FM!
speed babble FM!
don'[t think I have done one that fast before ever, signs of too many years babbling I think!
Blink and you miss her.
this must be how it feels to be sprite *grin*
Smoke coming out of the keyboard, fingers flying, that kind of thing?
lol yes, but all over too quickly.
I know, that's the disadvantage.

you could start a lexulous game with me

Well, the PT will get to meet you too!!! You are like a celebrity.

a tw5
My feet are small and thin, but I have apparently some telltale calluses. I saw aspecialist yesterday and he told me all about my running technique by looking at my feet. It was totally like he was psychic.
Danf, How a re you and Darth?
whats it worth
tw5/22.
I am ok...he is 15...things are good here though
I would not like to be 15 again.
thanks brid
i feel the same red...but he is starting to get a more adult social life now. He just doesn't always understand why he can't be out until all hours with people I don't know...
Yup, he is indeed 15. Do you have many new gray hairs?
Is there no list today? I have 11 left and I want to go to sleep. Too close to give up now.
15 year olds can be a nightmare. Our friends son is just turned 15 and thinks he's a man of the world - he'll learn
more and more each day red!
Michthere isalist at babblers anon.
Kazz, if he learns quickly, can he come over and teach Darth please?
Sadly me too. but I just alter my hair.
yes... PLEASE
Thanks Red, I've never been there, I'll look for it.

Congrats Kazzz.
dan - all teenagers at some point in their lives think they know it all and parents are just silly old sods who dont know anything - then when it all comes crashing down it'll be the oldies that they run to first. My son is 30 now but I let him do his thing - gave him a bollocking when i thought he needed it and sometimes in the line of being cruel to be kind - laughed at him as well as with him - now i see him more often than i ever see my parents and he still comes on holiday with us
I have na6, na5 what am I missing?
Hi everybody! Any clue for te5/10 ? Please!
True Kazz...I remember how dumb MY parents were when i was 15

Thanks Zoom!!!
wow that must be an awesome sight Red.
yw horsegal
Oh Red - you lucky duck! I was on holiday at Cape Canaveral about 5 years ago. Lovely place. I envy you
I live actually like 1.5 hrs frm the cape, but it shoots up right over my apartment.
I do love where I now live.
e4 a volcano
And I would like to announce that I did Ok with the new chicken recipe. So come on over for some chicken.
Red - we stayed in Clearwater, and drove over to your side of the State. Then we drove down to Key West, so we did a fairly comprehensive tour of Florida
Yum .. Be right there red ..
hi torg!
What a marvelous place to live. So varied - so fantastic. Again - I envy you Red!
Soodle, I love Florida, I am a new comer, only been here for a year, You have seen more of it than me. I would l ike to see your country though, the giants causeway fascinates me!
Hey Red.... The grass is always greener.... blah blah! Wouldnt it be brilliant if we could just appreciate where we are, WHEN we are there???
Anyway.. open invitation to all babblers.... if any of you fancy coming to Ireland.... This Babbler will happily show you the sights
thanks Soodle, that is very kind of you.
morning all
Hello Mrp :-)
True Soodle, Eventually i will get over there...I do love Florida though as a place to live.
looks like Madonna will be having a hard time in France now.
hi zoom!
oh..whats she done this time?.
the bloody stage collapsed... whilst they were building it
ohdear yes..i have just read it on the bbc news website, one person died too.
One is dead...several injured
hiya
wow, 39!
hello Kje.
hi kje
yes it is rather a small grid today/night
Hi kje. I have a quick question for you?
sorry, I am trying to write a paper at the same time
mrp - have been seing lickety's posts... sounds like he is missing you all terribly - you should go releive his suffering
have the ne** and tidy one
you know its bad when he starts posting pics of his feet
what red?
and dont get the e clue
I have ne4/4 and ne5/14
keep the fish in a ne**
kje, I can't do anything for him
hi all
need one more e, have the et4
Diclofenac, my doc wants me to try it for my feet, but I dont see why its different from motrin, except that it completelyknocked me out.
well, mrp, the pic of his feet was amusing - LOL
it is an NSAID, could do similar with high dose motrin... neither should knock you out
what does the e5 start with
what is wrong with your feet
en5
you know I am teasing, mrp? i do not mean to insult lickety's feet
fireworks
I have a touch of PF and some sort of calcifications on my left tendon...
He must be as bored as batshit
wtg sue
WTG Sue
anyone need any clues
that is what i was thinking, mrp
the PF is pretty much going away, but the doc suggested surgery for my left ankle. WHich I think is crazy.
no finished a while ago myself...but thanks anyway Sue.
whoo hoo sue
is it bothering you, red?
the ankle is bothering me. But I can not have a surgery on my foot or ankle.
Hello Jmc.
treatment for PF is stretching and PT... NSAIDS only if you have pain
i would get a second opinion... from a more conservative orthopod who doesn't think everything needs a knife
well, I am gone. I have to get this paper done
bye Sue
Well, he put me on the diclofenac, took a series of x rays and told me t come back in a month, He told me if it would stop hurting then we could just leave it.
I am just about to poof - can I help anybody?
then you'll just need to decide if the surgery is worth it or whether you can live with some discomfort and change your habits
red, don't go the path of surgery unless it is absolutely needed

what is the ankle Dx?
too many other problems arise from surgery

Poof
Bye Soodle
Bye Z
bye soodle
~*~*~*~*~*FIREWORKS!!!!!*~*~*~*~*~
WTG Eva:-)
wtg eva
i think red is coming and going
I think if I actually take the diclofenac three times a day for a month I should have no body pain....
anywhere.
and an ulcer - LOL
red, what is the ankle Dx?
re 6 please
I can not recall,it was somesort ofankle ethnosiosis...orsomething.
there is your help, red - ask bubba
what you got?
I have some sort of calcification on my left achilles. The MD said surgery, I told him he was crazee.
re6 see your holiday re* + con+ insect pest
Little bit of PF in my other foot.
i could use that re6 too
ty zoom
yw
the re 6. Odd abbreviation fora cold blooded creature plus another bad abbreviation foratemperissue...
hi all. no list :(
Probably retro-calcaneal spur or calcification of the achilles insertion, entesopathy. Try physical therapy with gradual but aggressive gastroc-soleus stretching, heel raises, ultra-sound, massage, ice, etc. Surgery is effective, but a real long post-op course.
snake fit
the PT sounds good red.... go PT
hello TO list in bab anon
**enthesiopathy**
I think bubba,I amnot going the surgery route. I amalready extra flexible...but I can still run on it. Icould n otdeal with the post op.....maybe they will do the US,
ooh i am chewing on those clues...
Thanks bubba!!!!!!!!!!
hey bubba... are you somewhere that you got the new influx of trainees?
Oh No kje is about to brag about h er good ones.
Three different hospitals, about 20 new residents started on 7-1
:) 7 left
LOL - nope, just curious.. but I do have an awesome team!
Whooo Hooo bubba! doing well.
red does not like theirs bubba
makes me feel bad for them... the nurses beating up on them like that
go TO gooooo
Some good, some just lazy, but they will be beat into shape or suffer the consequences
I like one of them, the rest are not so smart. They thought that during a code their job was to put in IV's....liek they are going to be ableto dothat better than a nurse...
they freaked out red - LOL
unfortunately, we are unionized, committee of interns and residents, so you don't have a lot of recourse without dealing with the union, very different from when I was a resident.
can not get the re6 clue
We are not a high ranked program in EM, so, I should not expect them to be brilliant.
wow, you must be in boston - that is the only group unionized that i know of.... seriously? unionized... wtf
red sorry to hear you are ailing
re + physical therapist + picnic pest
should be re 7 -- there is no re 6
Talk to your union re* add a consonant andasmall but strong insect.
NY C, they are paid very well, PGY-1 starts at almost 50K with benes, 2 weeks vacation, 14 sick days, 5 personal days, health, disability, etc, etc etc
I'm feeling very well TO. I was very surprised to find oth my feet are not as good as I feel!
ok,,,
14 sick days? we were not allowed to be sick
14 sick days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get 6.
that did it, finitio
Yaaay Bubba.
but, 50K in NYC doesn't go very far
so a 12 month program is basically slightly less then 11
wtg bubba!!!
14 sick days go far in anypart of the world.
but do they take those sick days?
the pgy4's and 5's always like to stay for a fellowship, they are making 75k + benes and everything is taken care of.
i would think they would need docs note or something to take their sick days
Thank you everyone for the helpful discussion on my feet and ankles.
LOLkje, a docs note from whom?
i don't even get 14 sick days - LOL
you bet, they take every day they can, and then some, plus they get 2 conferences a year with airfare and lodging and cost of conference
red... it is so annoying, since i work at a state school, we have to abide by the same rules as every secretary etc in the whole UT system... so if we are out 3 days, we need a doc note - i had the flu last year and only missed 3 days and they made me get a freakin note.... (well kinda, I ignored them)
last year 3 of them took a 2 week conference in Russia studying Ilizarov frames
wow, bubba... that is better than most programs i know of
what is a lizarov frame?
that is amazing the school would pay for that, bubba
The hospital pays for the trips, I think they can get some sort of reinbursement for educational conferences?? kje, got to run, I have a meeting, I was in the OR all day and now I have a meeting, but no one is paying my bills except me, so got to run
hagn, bubba
Bubba, thanks for the advice.
and hang in there
bye all
kje, are you thinking about going to NYC foran Orthopaedic residency?
te 8 clue pls?
LOL red... they would kick my ass... not sure I can do the night after night without sleep anymore
besides, i am doing better than they are anyway ; )

very disappointing to learn taht yu are hanging out with students not studs.
disappointing for me too, red
so you are abandoning me to dell help? then see yo in a week! ;)
thankfully it was not my residents who were lost on hyponatremia, that would just be sad

to - i def cannot help with a pc - my answers will all be reboot

kje, not your field but whta is the prognosis for ewing's sarcoma?
you should have asked bubba that when he was here
Heh 14 sick days .. I get 3 ..
all i know, is that it depends on a lot of factors... where it is, how far it has spread, how early caught, kids other problems... need to ask those questions of the oncologist
actually, i have no idea how many we get, tor

good night. thunder approaches.
was looking forward to a nice big grid today....
Trif... I was just thinking the same thing.
are all the F fish?
sigh. anything to distract me from how naughty I was at Ikea today!
they are going to be posting record earnings this quarter....
if you were naughty at ikea, shouldn't you be building things?
LOL..
most of the stuff was for primo
and we have to get his room ready for the new stuff.
will do most of it tomorrow.
holy cow...i a tried every 5 letter combo
I happen to be VERY good at building Ikea stuff. Did my whole kitchen, in fact. Honestly, they could hire me.
except that one
FW!!!
huzzah for kje!!!!!
trif - this is doable listless if you want to stretch out the 39 words a bit
Hi, all
and without too much agony but that last one, which i will clue for you if you like
I have 4 left and no list yet, so I see what you mean. Also, I just entered five absolute random letters, and it was a word!!!
hiya pam
hello pam!
that must have been my last fa5 trif
Hi, kje and trif!
actually, i was the en5
I so wanted a large grid, oh well. C'est la vie
oh, that one i know... a genetics term
A lot of us feel that way today pam
It's in the air!
how many fa5's are there? I have one
Trif, I have 4 to go too. Any suggestions about how to find out what I'm missing?
not me, i was very happy with 39
will poof now - happy babbling
do you have the tiles under the grid, jwr?
ciao. kje
bye kje!

no Trif, and I usually don't miss them . . . but
oh dear. don't know how else to figure that out then.
way to go, trif. thanks anyway. Your name reminds me of a Harry Potter spell
thanks, jwr. it's actually made up of the first few letters of each of my kids' real names
fireworks and hey everyone
we were actually discussing the other day how many HP words we now use in regular conversation - muggle, etc. When one of us wants something passed to them, we occasionally point to it, and say "accio remote!" and the person nearest the remote will pass it over.
Hey Secooper!
hey auntie!
delightful, trif. wtg secooper.
thnx jwr
got a text from paris - all have arrived safely, and everyone slept on the plane
hello all -- YAY cooper!
I was going to finish, but then I realized I finished early for a change!
who went to Paris?
thnx stid and they were able to sleep on the plane wow im impressed and im glad
secondo and tertiare are there with their dad.
((hugs trifioso)) stidkid #1 finally made it to Cairns Australia last night some time. Was HOURS stranded in Sydney with his group while thunderstorms raged.
a neighbor's boy fell off his porch the other day with a soccer (football) in his arms. Didn
they are going to ireland on saturday for my MIL's birthday party.
oh! that's nice, I think... is it quieter?
that's pretty neat, trifioso -- have they been there before?
yes, this is the second time in paris for each of them, and about their 100th time to ireland.
gee. such jet-setters! LOL
... whoops ... in the middle of a sentence and that didn't make any sense, did it? Here's the end: His mom came out, arms akimbo and shouted "what do you think you're doing? trying out for quiddich?
their dad is irish.
I think going the couple hundred miles to Victoria BC or (slightly further) to Ashland OR (N or S, respectively) is a big deal!
hello jwr
quidditch reference for the WIN
i would love to go to paris sometime
I figured if his mother was there, he was probably not Russian...
me too, secooper, me too!
hi stid. Did I misspell quidditch?
actually, for what we spent at ikea today, you probably COULD go to Paris!
haha!
I don't know about paris, though Ireland calls me (county Down, where the Conn family came from); and I would love to visit Italy though that shall never happen.
why not, stid?
redecorating, trifioso?
Allergies. Can't eat most of the food (no wheat, no eggplant, no land animals -- fatal allergies) and their smoking habit would be very uncomfortable for me.
geesh. I should think that rules out ireland too.
they are *not* the healthiest-eating people I have met
Ikea makes me dizzy. I'm quitting with four to go and no tickets to anywhere. But it's a gorgeous San Francisco day so out for a walk i go. Ta, all.
yes, probably -- though at least I can communicate the urgency of the what I "can't" eat and why if I go there. I can survive on boiled potatoes with salt for weeks on end if necessary!
later jwr. have a lovely afternoon!
can we talk you out of it, jwr?
oh, in that case, you would eat like a king
o sounds lovely bye jwr
or a queen? LOL
The soft sun and cool breeze calls to me .... I'm awaaaaaaay
no queens there either - one mighty big closet there!
well, there's the timer going off. I need to call and ask my husband to come drive the kid to his performance.
rofl...
secoop, I might need some help here to finish - you have a moment?
I could help you finish, tri...

RURURU
interesting article..
thanks for sending it
mon plaisir! I am enjoying the fruit of the vine tonight.
Ma plaisir...
oh how nice.. no headache.. good for you
whatcha drinkin
No headache! YAY! Domaine....
oh... love it.
I still want to find some las rocas, but I will also try some of the other grenache/garnacha you have recommended
It's a good thing you don't get deducted points for guessing the same word over and over again.
It' s a mighty fine wine, LOL
I have been looking.. too many volitaile wines..
very true grey.. very true...
ANNNNNNND, it was sublime with my tamari-seared swordfish...
My ratings would be like 76 if that were true
Thanks, ruru. Wines are volatile or costly, LOL
the mesquite grilled one?
LOL,. grey, you are right
I would love to mail you a bottle of the Montmirail
I bought a case of it.
No, I didn't grill. I seared it last night. Only, I don't like the fish the way "real" cooks cook it--I hate the texture unless it's what "real" cooks call overcooked!
I am sure it would not arrive in one piece, LOL, but thanks for the gesture!
hmmm that is the way mrs ru likes it too
I can UPS it in a shipper to you pam.
The texture is the thing. I used tamari and wilted an herb salad with the pan's juices and some vinaigrette...
Oh, ruru, how you tempt me.
balsamic vinaigrette--lots of umami...
sounds good
It was yummy
Had some brie and cured olives afterwards--was a light dinner...
wow, teeny
wow, teeny
This wine is heavenly!
sorry, sorry
Hi, feather
LOL, feather
waiting on a kid to fall asleep.
is this tiny/nasty or tiny/easy?
guess i'll dive in anyway. nothing else to do!
sound of (relative) silence, i think he's falling asleep
Hi all. The stats for today's grid are in my bio and in BabAnon for anyone that wants them.
ty jac
y/w feather.
Little kids, as I recall, lull you into a false sense of security as to whether they're in the land of Nod or not. Just as you are creeping out of the room... they sit up and ask for a drink/story/cuddle. LOL The trick is to be very boring and not entertaining.
wow, down to only 13 left after my first pass. going to see if i can do it listless.
we're in a hotel right now, a suite. so i'm in the living area, which is out of sight by a half-height wall. yay for suites!
he was having a rollicking good time earlier. i decided to check, and he had stuffed his books under the sheet, and thrown his water, lovey, and a few other books out. got him set to rights and bingo.
Go for it Heather. There are no 'really weird' words in here. re7 might take some getting and te8 might make you puzzle for a moment or two.
Yea, suites are good, Heather.
k, thanks! have your profile opened in the background on standby.
Okay, Heather. I'll let you get on with it. I'm nipping off to update my blog. BBL.
bye
got the re7
stuck on the last four -- would appreciate any help:
hi jwr, i'll help if i have 'em
thanks feather -- here's a start of what I have: anx4, at, en, et, fa4
jwr, click on jacula's profile picture. she has a list in there.
i'm not using the list yet, so might not know what you're missing
ki3, na3, ne3,pr, py, re,
aha, many thanx
np!
when you figure out which are missing, and if you're still stuck, ask. i'm down to 9 left, i might have it.
7
much obliged, feather -- I"ve got the list... I thought about leaving it but to stop short on such a grid !!! couldn't do it.
lol, nope, i couldn't either
i did it without the list.. by pure luck..
I can help if you need a clue.
Hiya weedie
hiya ruru
watch tonight's grid be 500 -+
hi guys. I'm eating supper and just opened this; I have 10 words already and not even looking.
*** bows to the great nef ***
is this the smallest? i forget the number of the smallest grid.
35 is the smallest
599 is the biggest.
I checked into an insane asylum with that one.
your kidding! There's been a 35 word grid? Yeow!
down to 6 here
do they come back-to-back that way?
usually
bet it is a biggie tonight
It's been large for longer than I like. I prefer the grids that are around the 150-180 word size
I am ready for a biggie
bring it on Dr. G...!!!
lol
hoo-ah!
all done, feather --- thanks for the heads up. Finding one of them (p) caused me to duck my head in the fish tank. Gotta go dry off. poof
dang. I put this in the word box and it didn't take it (this was meant for you ruru): :-P
yay jwr!!!
congrats jwr. I'd wandered off to finish eating after my last post.
The smallest grid was 25 words, on June 12, 2004.
babblerabble said 35 last night
The largest was 599 words on Nov. 2, 2008.
oh, Good! Not even in the same year! :-)
records are meant to be broken...lol
ruru, you are *such* an optimist!
Wash your mouth out, ruru!
pam is getting plowed on her cotes du rhone...
pam????
Unless, of course you are referring to the smaller number.
that would be fun too.. sometimes the small grids are way more challengin
Yes, today's was a surprise in that respect.
debating. still 6 left, and only one is a four letter word.
You can do it feather!
what's the debate?
if i want to use the list or not
I have 17 left and decided to use the list, sort of. I'm just trying to see how many of each combos there are (numbers of letters are hidden behind grid
yeah, i do that sometimes
ok, yup, going that route. just checking letter combos.
I have 10 left now
6 left and I'm so tired I'm playing in slow moootionnnnnnnn
yeah, i started looking at letters and lengths. still 6.
great, bombs going off in the major hotels of jakarta... just gets worse
they are just remodeling mr p
hi ruuster
lickety is absent.. are things okay with his dad?
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
I just don't understand the thinking behind terrorists at all. WHY do they do things like that
hi minver, mrp and all
hello minver
terrible news about jakarta
hi mrp, Min, and Dan2
Terrorists don't really think.. I think they are reactive and crazed
lickety is coming home today... will hear all about it, but apparently he is doing ok!
hi min, nef, dan et al
that's good... my father is dying right now and I know what he is going through.
sorry to hear that ruru; and mrp and family too. healing thoughts go out to all of you.
sorry if this is an old question, but are the clues not working today?
3 left; I have fried noodles for brains now (long week0
I don't think there is a list julie
Hello abetterjulie! How are you? Welcome to the grid
good, thanks! how are you?
They aren't julie; jacula has them in her profile here: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article. cgi?f=/c/a/2006/05/21/MNGFQIVN991.DTL& type=politics
okay. thank you, Nef. :)
abetterjulie, I have list posted in my profile. Click on icon and you can copy&paste it into word document.
obviously, THAT was wrong!
I guess when a person copies and pastes, they ought to COPY first, huh?
So did you just try pasting without copying Nef?LOL!
Yeah, so now you know what I was reading this AM before work!
you live in sf nef?
nope, the Twin Cities MN. I have a weird step mother who sends me those nasty emails and I send her stuff back to rebuttal it.
oh
thanks again for list.
if there is a recist, bigotted, political, or just plain lying email out there; she seems to get them all and then she sends them to me to check out and see what's true or not. It's kind of fun; she usually gets them from 1 or 2 certain relatives; and then I send her a rebuttal from Snopes, factorfiction, urban legends, politifactcheck, etc.
down to 4 here
I have 2 left; 1 is the 8 letter te (I'll take any clues, please)
I need the 8, also the na6

i need two "e" clues: bottom middle e
en 5/18 is e plus a nickname for write Mr. Hawthorne
An et 4/4 is the name of a famous mountain JenMO16
i need a dictionary!
nothing
If you click on the question mark next to a word,you will go to dictionary.com. That is what the ?'s mean.
et4 is a Sicilian volcano.
my brain is not used to these kind of words
That en 5/10 word is en plus I *** dinner at 6:30 P.M.
thanks min
yw
how about the f in last column
A dictionary will only help if you have a word list, and maybe not even then if you're not familiar with the words you seek. Your best bestis the chog and seasoned Babblers clueing you.
fa6/27 - what you do with the calf to plump it up for a feast.
Jacula, i am not familiar with a Sicilian volcano
got that one jacula
fa5/20 - what you might unkindly call your obese friend.
got that one too
fa5/16 = fa + *** Sharples from the oriiginal Coronation Street. (Google it.)
fa4/7 = I love this band/group/thing!+ a vowel.
Jen - try Googling 'sicilican volcano'.
Jacula is a very seasoned babbler.She is like Allstate. You're in good hands with Jacula, JenMO16.
LOL min, but some of her clues are mystifying me!
Min - you're complimenting me. Are you trying to wriggle off to bed again? LOL
Jem - I don't belive in spelling out clue-wise.
*believe
got the volcano!
Jen is a new, so trying to make her feel comfortable.
Well done, Jen. Did you Google Corrie for it?
my eyes certanly are tired!
Min - I think she'll soon slot in.
no Jacula, i googled Sicily volcano
LOL, Jem.
13 words to go
Min - have you emerged from behind that palm plant yet? I still want a pic of you. There's caution and then there's too much caution.x
I mean, even if you're cross-eyed with no teeth and half a head... we've been talking for a long time now and I don't really care what you look like but would like to see you.
I haven't posted my pic anywhere online,not even on facebook. Maybe I will surprise you some day Jacula.
E-mail it to me Min. You haven't friended me on FB yet, I think.
hey! i still need some hints!
We haven't forgotten you, Jen.
i need the t 0/1
So what do you need. We don't know if you don't ask.
first t word is ta4/4 - like the art gallery.
I am not "friends" with anybody from babble.I am not too fond of facebook. I am never on it. Would rather be here than on facebook. Babble is so much better!
dense brain
True, Min, ut you can do private messages and /or chat on FB o chat on MSN.
*but
Dense brain. Is that one full of knowledge or one that is too thick for stuff to penetrate? LOL
I'm not on facebook long enough to chat with anyone
another clue please for second t up and down in the middle
Fair enough, Min. You obviously want to remain totally anonymous.
But, sometimes, if you trust people enough to tell them who you are privately, good friendships can be made in real life.
What's life without a little mystery?! Thanks for your curiosity though Jacula.Glad that you are interested
yawns
ta5/14 - a bit ragged, not very smart clothes-wise.
The mystery is beginning to pall Min. I think it's time we connected one to one.
Anybody who knows me knows I am a private person.
You sound like my son, Min! I'm a private person, too, believe it or not.
Chatting in a public chat room is about as public I go.
Some people seek attention,I shy or run away from it
Well, Min, I've tried before to make private friends with you.
It took me MONTHS to join facebook because that is REALLY public! Everyone knows your business there.
I'm a writer, but I can't think of anything worse than attracting attention by doing it. I'd like to have alll of the money JKR has earned from writing the Harry Potter saga, but I wouldn't want to be her.
Min - you can set your stuff on FB so that everyone does not see every moveyou make.
Min - if you find Police's track 'I'll Be Watching YOu' or is it called 'Every Move You Make'? as creepy as I do, we're in accord. And, if I can friend people on FB, in the light of that, so can you.
BTw - I hovered for 2 years before joining FB and only did sso in the end 'cos my daughter left home and wanted to show me her pics and news that way,
That song is called "Every Breath You Take". I never thought of song as creepy, but I guess the lyrics are
But, now I'm in there, I've hooked up with friends, neighbours and family and enjoy playing word games with Babblers on there.
Min - even creepier. Yes.
I found a few HS friends on facebook which was good
HS?
High School
Oh right. Didn't think of that.
Prob. because mostt of the OS hooked up for our 25th years left school thing a long timr ago.
Just 2 missing from our count now, and both because they don't want to be found.
help with na6/18 please
A shame really, 'cos I'd love to hear from Zena and Margaret (aka Podge). One was unimaginabbly skinny and the other was a fat girl.
na6/18 is na plus teenage mu**** ninja turtles big red
Hello big red!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

LOL, I was about to say 'correct! Now add another 't; at start'.

No, up late.
Speaking of being up late,it is very late for me. Need to go to bed. Goodnight to my fellow babblers! Adios!
