at least we don't have to worry about the scoring

morning all
hi kazz :)
morning kazz
hows things Mr P
morning all, just here for a mo before i have to go to work....
tudalen! - you up early as well
yeah, in the summer it's lovely, a cuppa and some time before the day really starts!
we are having our road resurfaced today so i have to walk to town to get my lift
do you have to walk far?
phant -- anthems
only about 3/4 of a mile so its not too bad and it will probly do me good
at 7/28
nice. I intend to walk more after so many summers stuck indoors. (note word 'intend'!) always love it when i do.
phant satirize
yes i must admit we've let the walking slip a little over the last few months but we have been preoccupied with the allotment
me, too dart
phant - acanthus
va 7/40
i have small garden, too busy to grow veg but love gardening when i have time.
our garden is rubbish - but we have enough spuds for the winter and I am slowly filling the freezer with french beans and other good stuff. The next online will be the runner beans and then hopfully the sprouts but we have a bunny problem
Tudalen, are you anywhere near Glamorganshire?
they are determined; we have 2 pet bunnies which our cats want to eat. lots of wild ones too tho..
We are in pembrokeshire, south west wales (dyfed)
i think they laugh at us - look more silly humans planting food for us
not familiar at all, but hubby's grandmother came to canada from glam.......
he he. I also think the seals watch us from the ocean, thinking ' oh look, more humans on show today'!
have a friend coming to visit this summer from Neath
definitely cos they are damned good at hiding when we go seal watching on holiday - havent seen one yet
Pembs is lovely. Wales so different all over, but pretty lush genereally because of the rain. glamorganshire is central i think?
even when we went on a specific boat trip to see them
hubby has always wanted to see where his grandmother came from
we have loads of seals here, a big coast path and lots of boat trips from this part of the coast. as with sunny days in wales, you need enough days to increase probability of seeing...
ir 7
some day.........
what a shame about the boat trip kazz, hope you will try again.
wales is well worth a visit flosey
i have always wanted to see canada....some day i hope, i have a cousin in vancouver and my sister lives in la conner, not far away from border
have changed my icon - map of the counties of wales - glamorgan is at the bottom
la 7
ok will look
thanks Kazz
yes, glamorgan is to the south and east of us; not far.
sorry to be rudae about your cat flosey but he looks a bit like that weird women who hept having all the plastic surgery
lol Kazz, I think he got squished when I altered the size of the pic
he is magnificent though - reminds me as well of a white tiger
he does look pleased with himself tho
he's really quite bushy - long hair
he rules the roost
i can imagine
spends most of the time outdoors and won't come near if we have company
must go and get ready for work.....nice to chat ladies
enjoyed tudalen, have a great day
thanks flosey, you too
bye Tudalen see you soon again
bedtime here
by kazz, soon
have a good night flosey
sweet dreams flosey
tks Kazz and Tudalen
and goodnight all, be back in the morning

G'd morning Babblers!
morning Lori
I'll say good morning/evening as well.
Hey Lynx. What sayest thou 'bout this beasty?
tuff stuff.
Hazaurus! ***faints***
good morning Ha***
Well, I say it's no bad grid that has my name in it. (Smug)
Gah. Looks like it, with these letters Lynx. :/
lol, mini smug or full blown smug?
Oh just mini smug.
Humble is good. :p
It is, after all, only an accident that the letters are there. I don't think Dr-G did it in my honour.
I can't imagine 276 words with that mess over there <-------
Today's the day your imagination will get stretched.
I thought my imagination got a workout on yesterday's grid...
That was something, wasn't it?
Just when you thought you couldn't be surprised any more by the English language, up jumps a whole generation of b words.
TBT
Which means Two blank tiles. My progress is amazing.
It was a hideous experience. Hazaurus, tell me that's NOT some form of blank tile acronym.....
Indeed it is. I foresee problems when next I blank out a tile for it will be TBT again. Three blank tiles.
And dear goodness. FBT and FBT. I see problems with marking my progress in this way.
lolol ***shoot me***
I'll have to go back to the drawing board on this one. Eight blank tiles, eighteen blank tiles, eleven blank tiles. It's going to be too confusing for everyone.
The potential is there to be maddening, no?
Fod exapmle, maybe it should be NBE. I have No Blank E's
Absolutely. I'd understand if people responded to my EBT with WC? Who cares? or ITA Is that all?
*For even.....
Or TGND? This Grid's Not Done.
Or to show that progress is being made 'TGAD' - this grid's almost done.
Or for the despairing 'TGWNGD' - This grid will never get done
All very helpful.
Never mind enable, we'll need to get a dictionary made to interpret.
I have good reason to be smug about one of my blank tiles. I've got the z words done. WDM.
(Well done me)
IAI
I have the e's done. IAA (I Am Adequate)
IAI Lynx? <----- :)
It could be misinterpreted as I am Average.
I am impressed
It's I A I, not (A)
LIA, (Lynx Is Impressed) :p
Aha! IAI understandable.
What about you lynxxx. What do you have to declare in the BT stakes?
hello and good evening all :)
FBT
Good evening mrpresident.
lightening storm has passed us, so have come out from under the bed :))
hi MRP
For Lynx it could be DWIO (Dr Who Is On)
well actually....in 5 minutes - good memory Lori
: )
ah, looking forward to some DW
at the moment, am watching Goodness Gracious Me
hi
Hello herin.
hi Infernal
If it isn't on ABC or BBC, it isn't worth watching
hi infern! got the boy to shell crabs
Hi everyone can you talk on FB?
17 v's. You've gotta' be kidding me.
That's one T that's going to be hard to B.
didn't think la4.7 would be here (but then again why did I try it)
Because, LIAG! (Lynx Is A Genius)
right off to do this idiotic home work
Hooray for lynxxx!
Bye herin.
valina isn't accepted! my son used to want valina ice-cream all the time
It won't take varient as a varient spelling of variant. Enable is getting very fussy.
That is TU (Totally Unacceptable)!
You should market Valina ice cream Lynx. It'll sell.
Back in an hour, DW time
I'd buy it.
SYADW.
Enjoy your Dr Who experience Lynx. See ya' in a bit.
Bye lynxxx.
***I actually got that one Haz***
I hoped you would.
We should have put MYA as well.
Fortunately I'm not as dumb as I look....
Hey, I'm making up v wors, and it's working!
If anybody asks where lynxx is - MIAwDW.
***I'm 2 for 2 now....*** :p
It's gratifying to find va5/18 words, isn't it?
Well, 15 is close enough. Moving on....
It can be included in your list of BT can't it? That's what's important.
MNBT for the v. Mostly Not Blank Tile
Or AG. Approaching Grey.
I like that one.
So do I. It sounds optimistic.
RCTG. Really CLose To Grey, when you're just one short....
RCTGwgircty
Really Close To Grey when grey is really close to you

Good morning Babble Rabble.
Mornin' BR
Hello
The nervous bride told the minister that she was scared of messing up at the wedding. 'So much to remember'. 'Don't worry, just think of three things, walk up the aisle, stand at the al5/10, we sing the first hymn. After that I take over'. The bride resolved to remember this. Her poor husband to be didn't know what was going on when he heard his bride approaching muttering under her breath 'I'll alter him, I'll alter him, I'll alter him.'
lolol, good one.
It's one of the only jokes I can ever remember - a favourite of my dad's.
Hah! 1GT (One Grey T)
AG.
Approaching greatness.
TAB, BBL, DGA.
Taking a break, be back later, don't go away.
Bye for now...

hi Wolvie
G'd mornin' Wolvie. WB Lynx :)
morning again - had to take the doggie for a break.
How is this grid today - nice size I see. :-)
horrid
Poopy .
oooohkay. An all dayer then. :-)
hello
hi big sister
hi
Hello again, hello Wolvie.
hi ya haz
WBH
TYL.
Wolvie, it's 'don't waste letters day' - we're taking it very seriously.
no prob - this is slow going, per se. ;-)
I know!
lol - babble is fun, have to admit that. :-)
I am getting just so far in each tile - must work harder
You're suffering from ABT syndrome. Almost Blank Tile also known as AG, approaching grey.
the AG is on my head. ;-0
I would reckon that babble contributes to a high take up of hair dye among babblers.
haven't tried that yet - passing it off as paid for streaks
MOrning, people. I got up to give my dtr a ride to the bus stop (4 miles away); she waited til I was dressed and had my 1st cuppa coffee before she tells me she doesn't needa ride!
We'll keep your secrets safe.
hey nef - more time for babble. :-)
I hope you gave her a lift in the wrong direction?
morning Nef
true. But on a day off it's tough being up at 5:30 AM
I wake up around that time most days anyway - too many years of being up at 4 AM
5 tiles left before NBT
You're at TBT then.
6 here
oh - I'm TBT - ha!
Wolvie, I've worked eves or nights for 40 years and only 1 year of days, I still enjoy sleeping til 8AM! :-)
TBT? what's that?
wowsa. I bet!
There's a note of triumph in your voice, lynxxx. How was DW?
too be tiled?
to be tiled?
lol - brb - i need java
Twenty blank tiles. Or it could be Two blank tiles or Ten, or thirteen. It means that you're making progress.
Silly, I think I like that about DW. The one where he is human and fighting scarecrows
ah - so it is my queen. :-)
Scarecrows? Are they robotic or dangerous or just plain daleks in disguise?
hi everyone
hi andree
Hello Andree.
Dangerous, made by the al5.10s who needed to consume a TimeLord to survive
good evening Andree
Bad al5/10s!
but he was being kind...
Tough love?
hi hurshy
hi Hursh
Good morning hurshy.

That's okay, you're getting ready for work?

It's the only 8 so far. We could clue it to death and confuse everybody but that would be cruel.
good morning eva
Good morning Eva.

howdy, eva
yw
howdy unea...are we in western mode today?

i've been trying to get that hint about adding a letter to the ve6/virgin, but haven't found it
I have the ap 8 and the me 8..does anyone know the other? Thanks and oh...good morning all!
In this case I would prefer to be adored from afar lynxxx
and anyway it has more to do with wanting to be fed than love at the moment
ty RKB - we have sa8 and ap 8, now we have the other
TY Read
ok found the sa7/28 and sa7/32 -- are there more sa7's?
T*a la la eva
rkb just clued the sa8 a couple of minutes ago. thanks for the me
those are the only 2 I have so far une
tx for the me8!
Did you get them all, MM?
clues for the me8 and ve7?
eva, add the pirate consonant in the middle of the ve6 :-)
me8 - to make me5/10.
like Iron Man! LOL
ve7 - place a letter into the virginal ve6/27
thanks wolvie- just realized you weren't humming idly(-:
eva I clued the consonant you add to the ve 6 to get the 7 just a bit ago
thanks for both everyone!
LOL - that puts me in my place
well you never know do you

hi inge
wolvie I take you up on a clue for the ap8 please
ap plus laugh and not day but ...
ahhhh ty!!
ty wolvie
yw. :-)
haz gave me that one, IIRC
I was just thinking -- do people actually know these words or do they sit here and monkey 8 letter words?
well, I monkey some, some I know. :-)
some I get from clues!
lol go to the word lists and start at the top lol
i use morewords.com if i really get stuck
even with the word list I am hard pressed to monkey more than 6 letters
but for clues I would never finish
it's funny, i get stuck more on 4 letter words than anything else.
cant remember last time i actually finished:/
really crossy?
really..been months
I confess it can take some hours out of my day
Hey all, back again. I am so annoyed, I've had to have 2 breakfasts today!
I know a prodigious number of 4 letter words!
need to give up my job and wear diapers,then i may finish one
hi Red, what's so annoying hun?
hi red -- you are annoyed that you had two breakfasts?
or you are so you did have two breakfasts
I didn't really want to eat twice, but I was so hungry I had to....
oh I know them jmc, i just don't SEE them. It's maddening
hi red
they were 6 hours and 4 miles apart, but still....
Hi Wolvie.
lol then the second one couldn't have been breakfast -- brunch maybe
nothing wrong with tucking in a second time:)
or the first one more a midnight fest
No, i am sure to have lunch in an hour...
poor red
It could be worse, I think, there could have not been the 4 miles...
Most likely I used up all of my first breakfast.
I thought it was 6?
did you run 4-6 miles?
I just read about people in Florida finding their pet horses butchered for meat
eeewww
no ran 4 miles, breakfasts were 6 hours apart
well jean, thats horrible!
surely you run faster than that!
I thought it was just because of the "times" but the article said it has been going on for years
oh it only took about 40 minutes, but I just got hungry....
on that note, with 42 left, I am going to take a break. TTFN!
help with the z
bye wolvie -- maybe catch you later
ze4/9 zi4/10
ty esprit
zi 4- metal, ze 4 /9 - like an li 4. :-)
to the PB wolvie
oops! now I really must go. :-)
ty wolvie
your sacrifice is noted ;-)
jmc, when do you head out for some more conferences...
I am happy to say not until some time in Sept
but I am starting to plan for next summer
kenya!
yes and Tanzinia and SA
I lovew TZ! Take me take me
YOu have to go to Carnivore in Nairobi, nice drinks and all varieties of meats.
jmc what is the name of your organization?
lol I only will have 4 weeks and 2 of them will be at meetings
Carnivore is just a resturaunt, jmc, I imagine you will be allowed to eat. Inf act, they will probably take you there, very popular tourist place.
I will be with the General Board of Friends United Meeting in Kenya
but my organization is Center on Conscience & War "Stopping War One Soldier at a Time."
oh u said tanzania
well they are talking about a safari and some tourist things too
sorry what did you think I said espirt?
I can not make many more recommendations, I am afraid. Not been to Tz or SA. Safari is a must, but 3-5 days is enough...its a lot of being in a vehicle...
if I getto drive I am content
I have been to TZ. I could give you some contacts
Well, a company Best Camping Safaris is an excellent company, in Kenya, they do kenya and TZ.....
well I will start keeping a list
jmc would you give me your email address? I want to ask your input on something
okay I need the e and the n to get nbt and got to work
j_e at the centeronconscience dot org
that is my work one
at or @?
help help help with the e and the n though I really need to get to the office
@
and drop the "the"
jmc, have a good work day.
ok tks
j_e at centeronconscience dot org
no help with the e or n :-(
oh well bbl with any kind of luck
*poof*
morning babble friends
howdy dr;)
Hi Crossy? How are things today?
not too bad at all other than having to go to work later
same here
now if everyone just mailed the cheques,we would all be happy
: ) Yes we would! .........I actually work from home 2 days a week. My boss is in Los Angeles and she does not mind
my lil bro is lucky he works from home every day now and can do the 40 hrs a week any way he wants
that IS lucky!
he can do 20 hrs a day for 2 days and take the rest of the week off lol
Wow - I would love that
as long as the 40 are done at the end of the week,they dont care
what does he do?
he works for pokerstars.com
does he enjoy it? When you hear that people work for cool Companies, it isnt always that way
he LOVES it he gets paid to do what he would do for free
the moved the little sont and his family to costa rica(head office)
tell him to thanks his lucky st4s. That kind of job does not happen often
snot*
indeed dr
but he can do the job anywhere in the world
costa rica.. I hear it is beautiful there
he says it is,but seems you have to be really careful where you walk with bare feet
bugs ?
the smallest untended cut can turn into a raging infection in just a few days
or snakes ?
and bugs
clue for in 5
I would not like that part. I am barefoot most of the time
but my bro is strange,loves cities,so he lives in paradice and chose the most congested concrete jungle he could find there lol
maybe he needs the people
dont have it Boo
imagine toronto or detriot or boston,but set in costa rica and you have it lol
what exactly does he do for pokerstars Crossy?
he busts cheaters
me? i would be in some thatched hut on the ocean front looking at the sunset over the water everyday;)
ahhh tracks down those that try to beat the system LOL glad i dont cheat at poker, wouldn't want him on my tail
his handle is badmandan lol
i'll be on the lookout for him....... I have an account there
I will tell my hubby as well
though i think he is like the real cops,the only time you will see him is when you are about to have a really bad day;)
that would make sense Crossy
he busted one group,they were all buddies living in the same town and they got accts on poker stars and tried to all sit at the same table and help each other via msn and split the cash
i've heard of people doing that
or the one guy who set up several accts and tried to sit at the table with 2 or 3 versions of himself;)
how do they think of this stuff?
well, I am off to begin my day- I am leaving 120 words for after work
bye bye DR
Crossy- enjoyed getting to know a little bit more about you- have a wonderful day
what do the tile stats mean?
hi
bye Nan- *Poof*
hello phaeton
Taf the tile stats tell you how many words begin with each letter and how many you have
oh, ok , thanks
for example if the top corner A says 1/4 then you have found 1 of 4 words coming from that A
cool, ok thanks, its been a long day

It is a very tough grid today considering its size, so many 'almost words' drove me to distraction.
it would be so great to either move some of the letters around or erase them completely

but they aren't always choccie wolvie
cookies in the US are different to biscuits.biccies in the UK
I'm happy with just the tea
i know that jac - have done the proper high tea - fun! Had friends from the UK bring over assorted cookies too
tea is fine, a gal has to try tho

Got it Wolvie. I was thinking "head"
your cat is a cutie, I admit that. :-)
good bug - I wasn't sure if I should have said camp toilet. :-)
Dora belongs to my 14 yr old daughter, and she is his slave!!
oh soodle - too funny - I just noticed the HIS - a cross dresser, eh? LOL
pb for you soodle, but high tea awaits
Ooops. Sorry all - (and I hadn't even got that one!!). Lets move the party to the PB, eh?

thanks FM
yw flosey and nice to see you.
why thankyou FM, nice to see you too
:) we are not normally on at the same time these days so I feel out of touch with you and jilli and a few others. Life has a way of overriding babble from time to time.
until we get these biggies FM - then off and on throughout the day
haven't seen Jilli yet today though
I say her online ths a.m my tim ebut was only just waking up and on my first mug of tea so ready to chat :D
noon here right now FM, what time do you have
Jilli often stays on late at night
I was up in the middle of the night and Jilli was still on. She is probably resting now Flosey. I would be too if I could but our house is getting renovated
lol, sounds of renos difficult to sleep through
es + happy ***i*s to you, until we meet again
It is just on 8pm here in the UK
thanks FM
e+ puppet on a ****G
hard to keep track of the different time zones
just monkeyed the last pa6 - never heard that one
It is the dust has made my allergies go wild, Flosey.
I know but as I worked for US Cos for years I got used to so many differnt time zones.
aha, fireworks - and a dull headache from from staring at this puzzle
wtg flosey!!!!!!
well done FLosey!! This is a killer
congrats, flosey
must get rid of it - have a meeting this afternoon
And on that note I must be off - have a busy day ahead tomorrow - hope the grid will be kinder as todays is def a challenge. Congrats flosey!!
I'd stay and offer clues but BR is here and he's the best
HAve a good day flosey.
maybe a walk in fresh air will rid this headache
tks fm, enjoy your evening
be back at flip
can anyone help with the far left e please i have the fluff one
be well, flosey
This one seems tough
i'm finding it tough but BR sailed through it as always
plural it, jacq
far left e means the cream of society
what a very tough grid
ohh duh!!!!!!!!!
love the picture today BR
ty BR
thanks, Bugsaw
It could be a photo of me today
Good afternoon to all babblers! How's everyone doing
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
struggling minver
Hello Min.
and hello
love the icon Min. I needed a laugh about now
lol min
Thanks Bugsaw. Thought it was funny when I found it
My goal today was to break 200 & now I have 203.I'll be giving up on the grid very shortly.It is hard today
i'm in the same place Min
I have 46 left and it is very wearying but I am in here hiding out from the sawdust and sanding. The best part will be to have a bathroom again.
This should be more fun than it is
shhhhhhh don't mention bathrooms i still have to finish tiling mine lol
ours is leaking into the downstairs. :/
Intertesting,yesterday I quit at 130 words and 1937 points.Now I have 205 words & 1938 points.How can I have so many more words today&only 1 point more?
Hello EvaNadine!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
We only have one and when it is demolished, it is pretty smelly around here. I am tired of having bird baths at the kitchen sink!
Your points make no sense Min. I have 232 words and 2667 points right now
i have 203 words and 2324 points
Is it possible for Babble to be adding my points wrong
try refreshing it
jacq, you must have a lot more long letter words and I must have a lot of 4-letter words. That has to be it.
I would try refreshing. Lately I have been entering words that don't show up in the word list but the green line says I have allready entered it. When I refresh, they show up
Just refreshed.I STILL have 205 words & 1938 points
Do you have the big point ones?
strange, maybe you do have more small words
Min, what is your letter average? (and hi all) I have 210 words, 2412 points and an average of 4.79
I only have 2 7-letter words and 8-letter words. The rest of the words I have are 4,5, and 6 letter words.
4.81 here
Hello Sally-catlover!How are you?Welcome to the grid
4.81 here too
Letter average is 4.6, but NEVER pay attention to it
Oh I've been here on and off during the day. I hate these big ones! They take up so much time.
I never knew what that number meant so never paid attention to it. Care more about # of words & points
fireworks
I don't usually look at it much, but it does show if you have mostly smaller words.
yay Boobear!!! back!
wtg Boo!!!!!!!
heya phae
I have been here off & on all day and will continue to be here off and on all day even after I give up on grid
Congratulations Boobear on fireworks! Good for you!
lol min
I figure I can help clue with the words I already have
We can help you get some big words to increase your points if you want Min.
well done Boobear
min do you have the 8's?
Thanks, Bugsaw but I am taking it easy with this one
ap + at the end of most peoples' arms are ***ds + go fly a k***
me + copper iron tin + one s*** fits all
brb
I am stopping at 210 words and 2001 points.Bye to all
i have them BR i was offering to help Min
I will be back later on to clue whatever I have so far.
ok Min have a good day
ve 7, please?
don't have it nan, sorry
Think of the Greek Virgins - ve 6/27 and add a consafter the 4th letter.
often worn with a suit: ve** + a choo choo runs on **i*s
hi everyone - how many words today?

ty soodle and babrab
Hi Ollics. 276 words - 3 x 8's. A good description of this grid is your name, with a B in front!

I think it would be fun if people said how they chose their screen name. I am sure there are some good stories like that
go Nan
go nan!!!!!!!!!!!!
C'mon Nan...
*!* ta da *!* -- thanks for the help -- a lot of new words for me in this one! Whatever would we do without lickety!!!
I chose mine, because it is what i live in
Yay Nan.
off to get my hair cut -- back at the flip -- hope it's a smaller one!
az5?
Is that like an RV, Phae?
end of reading material: Time, People, Readers Digest, etc.
wtg nan!!!!!!!!
az + ending of the tiny fish that are in the grid (sa 7,32)
yes soodle
ty Bugsaw
I thot a phaeton was a horse drawn carriage. Is that what you live in?
nope
ty jacq -- will be in your neck of the woods in just 10 days now -- visiting a cousin in Dunfermline.
I just googled it. Its a VW, is that right? And do you move about, or are you static, Phae?
ohhhh nice
* Hope the weather will be good! Have tickets for the tattoo, and don't fancy sitting in the rain.
It's not a VW...it is 40 ft long and we move in the fall and in the spring
take a brolly and maybe gloves lol
ouch -- don't like the sound of that!
Oh it sounds so lovely to go wherever you want to be and still be at home and sleep in your own bed!
it's a cold damp just now
What a lovely life-style, Phae. I envy you.
and take plenty money a glass of wine in edinburgh will set you back £5
It's great! We really enjoy it
oh well -- we've had great weather every other time we've been in Scotland -- just hope it's not time for a sample of the real climate.
So How did you choose your name, Bugsaw?
and leave plenty of time but your folks will know that edinburgh is ammess due to the "improvements" they are making to the transport system
My husband is building a barge to sail the ocean and I want him to make it a live-aboard for our old age but he still wants to make money instead.
I'll save the wine drinking for Belgium and Germany then -- scotch is always a good alternative!
in5?
Or Drambuie, Cybernan! Yum
Yes, Robin said that there is road construction all over the place.
That would be cool, to sail to different places
a bit like the nice word for useless change the second vowel
it's a nightmare nan nobody can get near the hotels or anything on coach trips
must be off -- see you tomorrow :)
I have never been a fan of stupid questions apparently. When I was just 1 the boy next door was being silly and asked me, "What is your name little girl?" I looked right at him and said, "Bugsaw"
bye nan if i don't see you have a great time
Happy Haircut Nan!
sorry jacq...couldn't quite get that
ok will try again
Obviously a precocious child, Bugs? LOL
nm, got it!
my oldest grandchild is precocious, just like her mother was!! revenge at last lol!!!!!!
Smart ass is what the family called it. Your name intrigues me too Soodlebum.
Oh yes, jac. My mother always told me I would get the children I deserved and it was true
my granddaughter tells people "you're not my friend, get out!" she tells me "you're not my friend anymore, get out!"
she has an answer for everything
I'll bet she is 2
lol oh yes, wonderful age
When my nephew had enough of us he would go get us our coats when he was 2
she painted herself and her whole room in nappy rasj cream and even as her mum was walking upstairs to see why she was so quiet, she was saying it was an accident and she meant it lol
lol Bug
ni5?
ni and word that rhymes with reduced good rail
sorry most of tha word remove vowel at end
duh
good rail?
reduced goods rail "**** rail"
either i'm very dense or that phrase is used where you live
try ni + salvador ***i , the painter
I didn't understand either phaeton
ty bugsaw
sorry am crap at cluing
clueing too
lol
probably not. I'll bet it a local thing
the last pa6?
sale rail
what's a sale rail?
where the reduced goods go
oh...like a bargain shelf
yes
lol
or bargain bin
so...how did *** fit in there?
it was only 3 stars?
damn sorry
see crap at clueing

no...it was four but you said drop the last vowel...just trying to see what you were trying to say
i'm not much better...get too elaborate
ohhhhhhh drink
she was trying to say deal
no was trying to say sale rhymes with d*** remove last vowel
dale
aahh! now i understand
Morning. Last pa6 might be pa & dble cons & dble vowel
sa7/32..the first one?
ty lynxx
sa 7,32 are the tiny fish

sa7 - seasoning + pots and ***s
sa7=prominent or conspicuous

TY Judy

evening all - back for the last 87
hi Kazz
hi Kaxx
does anyone have the very last st 5,12 word please?
what holds a flower up...pl
slap me with a giant fish phaeton. I convinced myself I had tried that a million times. thanks
yw...lol
hi everyone, I have 99 left.... and they are getting harder to find...
hi Red...it doesn't get easier
I got an update on my daughter...they removed 3 lymphnodes and told them if the found something conclusive they would call them today, otherwise they would have to send frozen samples (?) out to other lab and would take a week to get results
It started out so pleasantly...
phae, no call yet?
just the update...nothing since then
so I suppose, no news is goodish news...
Phae...I've missed this, what is wrong with yr daughter?
seems like it. red..you're a nurse right?
I am. we dont deal with pathology samples much though.
lynxxx...they have found all her lymphnodes in her neck and chest area are inflamed and she is losing weight and can't stop coughing
no...i wanted to know if not changing a urine catheter could cause ecoli infection
It could phae, if it was not done properly.
it was done in the hospital, but we don't know if they ever changed it in the nursing home...been about two months
Phae...that must be incredibly worrying ((hugs)) hope they find out the root of the problem soon
catheters can cause infection just by being in the body, they have to be cared for carefully. Is there some way they can just leave it out?
Thank you lynxx, we are very concerned, but we also have her in many prayers around the world
phae sounds like you have a lot going on both sides of generations...
yes, but they were trying to heal the uti she had, then she developed c-diff from the antibiotics, so they left it in
yea...they put mom in the hospital last night
c-diff is very frightening. I will add my prayers for your mother
poor phae!
There was the "error". probably the c-diff germs/and ecoli, got on the catheter...and crawled up into the bladder. THey need to get it out. its less convienient for the nursing staff, but better for you Mom.
ty bugsaw, i think they cleared up the c-diff because they took her out of isolation
I will hold your mother and your daughter in the Light
sounds as if she is cleared up of the C diff. nasty stuff.
thank you jmc
er, your Mom...
the prob with mom is she needs assistance to use the toilet and so she doesn't ask often enough cuz she doesn't want to be a bother
tell her the nurses want to help with a simple task instead of waiting for a big, uncomfortable clean up.
she's 92 and not always cohesive
Phae, she can wear a brief, and while thats yuck, its better for her. The catheter is more of a convienience for the nursing staff, not for her...
down to 29!
thanks red...we can talk to the staff
And, the nursing home could put her on scheduled toilteing, every 2 hours, but....as great as a facility is that doenst always happen...
ok, time to go throw dinner into the oven.
true
bye red and thanks
bye red!!! *waves vigorously*

Hi again annie and BR.
Chrissie, congratulations..what a beautiful photo ot a very happy day
thank you stid
Hi red
The problem is that there is too few 'runs' of words and the words are twisty/hard to see. The words themselves are not so hard
Hi Annie and BabRab
Hi lynxxxxxie
true that, lynxxx.
DO you realize I have at least another 27 years before I can retire? Suddenly it all seems so overwhelming...
Oh stid that is not something to swell upon.
err dwell upon.
Do you realise how young you are Stid, and what you can achieve before retirement
rofl... or swell. I agree!
Ok now I am leaving I believe my dinner is almost complete, and I must consume it.
Be back for 69.
bye Red, have a nice evening

Well I felt like the squirrel in my icon today. Hope for a much smaller grid tomorrow. Hope that the size of tomorrow's grid will be like an ant(tomorrow's theme animals smaller than a bread box).

that leaves a lot of critters to choose.

Hi, sorry I left to answer the phone. I looked back a bit and did not understand the me 8 clue.
me -- copper iron tin + one s*** fits all
me5.12 + s*** matters
duh, now I understand it. Thank you so much
I reached the point of needing to eat or fainting. So now I feel lots better and can do this grid; hope to get a lot of words now!
Amazing what we can go without in order to stick with the grid. I have to get down to work on it or I won't finish ... too many distractions today.
food is good for the soul and the brain
I haven't been working on the grid much at all today; but my day has been very crazy-busy and I realized DH and I hadn't eaten. He's been ill (relapse in his MS) so has no interest in cooking; so it was my fault we hadn't eaten
need those frozen dinners made up for nights like these.
hello 132 to go MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP....
the clock?
how was rehearsals, Harp
very nice, thank you!
It's a relatively new group but we are gelling nicely
What type of musical group is it, harp?
catholic church "folksy" group, named Jubilate
is it a large or small group?
seven or eight people, three guitars, piano, myself on harp sometimes, and keyboard sometimes, also I'm learning to play a drum
Oh! Sounds good!
that does sound like fun, what kind of drum?
can i get clues for the pa7s plz
djembe
I"m really unimaginative but at least i can keep the beat
playing drums is harder than it looks
Fireworks!
whooo hooooo MERK!!!
pa7, the first one is a knightly champion, Sir lancelot was Gwenivere's Pa*****
It was also a tv western here years and years ago.
the other pa7 is plural of the pa6, you have a hard and soft pa7 in your mouth
The other pa 7 is a plural of the pa 6.
She asked for the clues 5 minutes ago. She might have her nose back in the grid.
gotta head for the pillows. good luck with the grid everyone still working on it. see you tomorrow.
