hmmm, that is strange
that's better
*wanders in dazedly* hello???
I made it. I think.
hi stid!
hi there stid
so what have you been doing today, stid?
Meeting over, just one small day trip to Mt. Rainier (was hoping to NOT have to drive, but apparently must), and then I DON'T have to do anything on Saturday or Sunday.
I have spent more than 50 hours working this week. since Monday. And at least 16 hours last weekend.
I HATE coordinating meetings. VERY HORRIBLE and ICKY. *yuck face*
what meeting?
the STUUUUUPID-DUM PHAGE MEETING I HAVE BEEN WORRYING ABOUT FOR MONTHS!
*blush* sorry, didn't mean to yell. got caps lock on in error.
well, it's over now, right?
160-people plus. with "minor" problems like the boiler at the college turning off last night, and so no one had hot water for their showers this morning.
I now have a reputation (well earned) for NOT letting details slide. and insisting that other peoples' contractual obligations be met. no excuses...
wow, big meeting -- why you (other than on behalf of stidkid #1)?
Actually, Jill -- now I have to send out the addenda and correctionsl organize what I know of the finances and extricate myself from the paperwork. I am officially unemployed again after next week. the 20th, in fact.
And I did it because I am a friend of the meeting's main convener.
and because I am NOT smart enough to say "no"
you're taking on too much, stid *wagging finger*
Not anymore, Jill! LOL
I really enjoyed one aspect, though -- meeting all the wonderful new people from all over the world. I now have a friend from India and two younger scientists from Moscow who will write to me a little bit.
how about yourself, jill? did the rain squalls catch you up north today? We had a regular monsoon-style rain at about 7 this evening.
and I am not playing this grid, btw.
hi girlies
*setting firm limit*
MRP!!!!! I have new TExan-Aussie friends!!
or is it aussie-texan? originally from Victoria, now in San Antonio
oh who???
stid, this is a nice grid
oh fabulous stid! they will be wonderful hosts then, as the southern hospitality suits the aussie hospitality too
Her name is Julie Thomas and she has a daughter. Julie is AMAZING! and very very smart *dumb mama look* but also nice. I liked what I understood of her talk about introns and proteins today.
I don't have time, Jill -- just wanted to give you personally an update on my *limited* mental status.
anyway, off to get a few hours' sleep before I zip back to the college to drive the van to the mountain. I am really looking forward to Saturday morning's sleeping in!
(((((((EVERYONE))))))) see you-all very very soon!
*poof*
falling asleep here, 15 to go and they'll wait for morning, goodnight all
see ya stid and flosey
night stid and flosey
ge 6 27 anyone?
ge6/27 past tense of the stuff used to make your hair stick up.........or down
don't have it yet sudo and hi
hi west
hi jilli
naped
firewords
Yay jilli !!
real words this time?
mostly, west, and Lickety's list is up :)
that's good
west, your st5/10 isn't at all like the ones I remember in England!
I got it from an article about Thomas Hardy.. called stones and st***s
he went back to the place he met his wife 50 years later it was very good
ah well can I have an A for effort?
if you google the word you'll see the kind I knew
I searched google images for the crooked man etc and found a great picture but it wasn't accepted
sure, A for effort and ingenuity and originality and erudition
lol I wouldn't go that far
crooked man?
you know, the nursery rhyme
that was longer than usual
I'm half way and still don't have the top right e
want a clue?
the brain has millions of brain c + el 4 el 5 -- run away to marry; pl
thanks as always bab
you can throw me a fish jilli
will my icon do?
oh yes that was my first word
thank you !!
guess I made it too easy, or did you get it without looking?
I looked. I always look at your icon pix
maybe I should change it to my kind of st5?
sure then I'll see what they look like
ok
mine was in Cornwall
I see a composer
ok, here's my st5 , in Derbyshire -- but in Sussex the one I remember had just one step.
ok looking
I like that very quaint
were they common?
or should I say 'are they' ?
still are, west -- I think
weirdness happened here -- did it for you tooo?
no everything is working what happened?
my post stalled, then the timer said "less than one minute left" -- I waited a bit, then refreshed, all was blank, finally came back normally, 21+ hours left
that must have taken you back I know the time passes quickly but that was too quick lol
as you can see, my "still are..." took a minute to arrive after you said "are they common?"
I got a strange message earlier from babanon while I was trying to get bab's list
couldn't enter at all
there must be gremlins around
oh I hope not
the twitter bandits maybe
have you joined twitter? I haven't.
no I'm trying not to let devices rule my life
just desires, eh?
I quit face book and not sure I'll even stay on my space
I'm on FB for Lexulous and to keep up with my uncommunicative family's doings
that's why I joined FB originally but they don't answer anyway lol
I get to look at their photos, lol!
I may join again lexulous seems fun
there is that photos I mean but I've just asked them to email them to me
I just joined the Babblers Worldwide group there
so did I but nothing happened
herin set me up
re photos -- I get to see ones other people take -- the family is at Tadoussac, Quebec for July and August and some great photos have been posted
that's really nice why aren't you there with them?
long story
I've seen your pix and write ups and it seems like the perfect place
isn't that where you met your husband?
their house is full of their friends all summer
such fun though my friend's grandparents had a big house in Middletown ( Newport ) and it was always filled
yes, I met him there when I was working at the hotel. His family has a house there too -- full of his sisters' families. I could stay there in August and nearly went this year for a bit but it got too complicated. The travelling is onerous.
after the last of the aunt's died the kids sold it ( dumb them )
travel is not my favorite thing to do any more
I haven't been there since 1995, with hubby.
you have nice memories I'm sure
oh yes
and besides you live in such a beautiful place
yes again -- so why leave it!
and your water is much warmer?
yes again!
Although the lake at Tad is about the same temp as the sea here
must be like the ocean at Ogunquit that is sooo cold
hi everyone
hello andree
One summer the "sea" at Tad (Gulf of St Lawrence, tidal) was 42F in July
hi Andree
now that's cold !!
only fools rush in
Back. Hi Andree & West
hi lyn
hi again lynxxx
sometimes that's the only way to do it
hello again Jilli. That's a lot of cow!
The fools rush out again screaming, lol!
lynxxx -- better refresh --- the cow (actually a bullock) is long gone
I had to look lol
I have to go to bed! Night all!
I didn't want to say it was a lot of bull
nite Jilli
graon...

hello andree!
Hello there! Just getting started on the grid.
unusual to be awake at this time, andree, but here it is, and here i am!
what time is it trif
4 am
good heavens, up late or up early?
woke up early, I guess, and can't get back to bedfordshire
may I have the stats for the 8 then I can go to bed

pa8/45

bye West
Bye westford.
bye west
me as well - gonna try to get some more sleep. see you anon, i hope!
lynxxx are you having this amazing weather too
Bye Trif.
bye trif
a perfect Spring day...but cold now
going to be 24C tomorrow and 30C sunday, we haven't had much of a winter
Our weather has not been as warm as that. Usually mid teens. We even had some rain early this week. Our dam levels have climbed - to a (not) impressive 27.5%
its been cold morning and night but otherwise its beautiful, I wish i had a crystal ball as I would love to get my tomatoes in but fear a frost
It's going to be an awful awful summer. Drought, El Nino, no water for gardens, bushfires and heat
hope not, i love summer
Think you might be in the right state for a good one
our dams are at a healthy level now and we are able to water every day, which is a welcome change
Funny, we have been on restrictions for so long now can't remember when we weren't. Currently twice a week between 6-8 am. Next stage, no water for gardens at all
thats terrible, makes it so hard to keep a garden, i only water my pots and my veggie garden, would hate to have that taken from me
good morning all.....:-}
hi pj
Hi PJ!! where have you been!
hi ya Andree and Lyn. I've been doing a lot of camping this summer.
57 left, back later
Is that your van? surely you are not that small
bye Andree
by Andree
Its a PT cruser and a teardrop camper.
My fav car...but I have never seen a camper like that, how old are they
when I'm home I spend a good deal of time on face book.
This one is a 2008 and I love my PT. This is my 2nd. one.
The camper is just right for a couple or one person. It is very easy to handle and has every thing you need in it. My little dog<Abby> and I hook it up and go.
Too cute!
TY
are you on face book? Flask is and we chat all of the time. It's fun.
I am but not active...I don't need another 'occupation', I achieve too little as it is.
Any clues for last ex5 would be great!!!
ex5/22 - ex plus first letters of Ireland's saint
TY, Haz!
You're welcome.
hey haz, lyn, pj, jai
I spent a long time on that one...I really appreciate the help!
evening Gort
Hello gormold, PJ.
Glad you got it, jaianniah.
BBS
Hey, Gort, my ex used to call me "trog"...any connection with your name?
I see. Since I am alone it is a lot of company. When I'm not doing that I'm doing gourd crafts in my little work shop.
hi Haz and goemold.....:>}
possibly, jai, was your husband a lego-obsessed 11 yo when he invented the name? that's how old my baby bro was when he came up with gortmold for his lego dude he loved so much he vidoed
No, but that is a great story!
was yours short for troglodite?
Yes! I stay up late at nite, hate the sun, and am very fair!
oh, i thought it might be because you gave him dutch ovens
LOL!
but you're probably quite nice and elegant
Nice, but elegant? I don't know....I was quite a tomboy when I was younger!
does anyone have a clue for the po6 and the po5 on either side of the spanish carbohydrate?
po6 - add a verb form of 'to be' to the end of the long stick (po4)
thanks haz, my monkeys would have gotten crippling arthritis before i'd have gotten it on my own
po5/12 - remove one vowel from the po6 just clued
You're welcome.
you're a legend haz, thanks
Don't thank me, thank morewords!
TY, Haz, did not have those!
Off to bed for me! Thanks for help and nice chat!
nighty night jai
Goodnight jaianniah.
bye Jai
Nighty nite from Trog!
by jai and good night all.
who started out as a tomboy, spent time in trog land, then turned out a nice young lady with a pretty icon
haz, do you have a clue for the first si5 pls?
A kind of a hold off, often armed.
Leningrad had a famous one.
hmm..thinking of things that are armed...hold-ups, robberies, octopuses...
Think of a city surrounded by enemy forces, it is under si5/14
ah, ding, got it thanks haz
You're welcome.
i would just like to dedicate these <*FIREWORKS*> to a true champion of the game without whose assistant i would not be sitting here tonight, she forged the way through the minefields of morewords so that others could follow unhindered by ignorance
gortmold hears orchestra and shuffles off the stage to bed
Congrats Gort
Well done gortmold!
Thank you HAZ!
thanks lyn
You're welcome - sleep well!
nighty night
Godnight Haz and others. A few left for the morning
Night lynxxx - (on the phone)
G'd morning Babblers! Is that <----- a poopy grid?
Good morning Lori. It's not too bad at all.
That's good news then. Mornin' Hazaurus
I like to be the bearer of good tidings.
Oh? Is this something new you're trying? :p
Yes, a new direction in life. Just call me Mrs Optimistic.
Wow. I'll stick with the sure thing (negativity) if it's all the same to you. I like predictability.
But Lori, you'll miss out on going through life with a fixed grin.
Awww. That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, because my smile looks like an artificial Botox perma-smile.
Fair enough. It's quiet around here today, isn't it?
I guess! Must be a very studious group this morn.
That'll be it. This is the intellectual hour.
Can I stay in spite of that?
Yes indeed. There has to be an exception to prove the rule.
Phew! I was worried there for a second.
I'm going to leave you on your own - must get some things done. Will you be okay?
I'll muddle along. Housework never stops me from achieving mediocrity!
hi haz, hi lori
G'd mornin' lou
You have a good one Hazaurus!
So long as you're sure. And there's company has arrived so you're grand. Bye for now!

ex 5/22?
watching today show they claim a pole said when asked which they would give up first between sex and the internet, most said sex
LOL and i am NOT cxorrecting that mistake i am already in the pb!
ex + shortened version of girls name
LOL TO is that true????
Oh and hello all :)
i don't know, i think the media tendes to distort the facts. hard to believe. ;)
good morning FM
Morning flosey
thank you...
yw
Not me I can live without the internet...
Mind you I have to say I would be in two minds.
lol Hi ruru
i am struggling with 29 left.
What would be the answer between the choice between eating or sex?
i have heard the majority woudl say eating. but it hink it depends.
I could alternate the two I think...
lol
eating of course. Or am I being to analytical - if you don't eat you cant do anything else?
welllet's be practical. you can get food at the supermarket. although i have heard from some aussie friends that their local supermarket has singles nights. great idea!
ne 5/10?
ne 5/10 sounds like a bank robbery but change the h to an n
aparently we also do singles nights too in England.
when i was shopping in whole foods in weehawkin across river from nyc there were so many good looking men i could not believe it. much better looking than those on the dating sites i have visited.
hat do you think of dating websites?
they scare me but yo can't argue with success. i've met sucesses.
Oh really, well that is encouraging, not that I am ready to look yet but intersting to know.
but the horror stories are out there too.
can believe that.
fm i am in the dead zone. i am toldi have to wait to be a young senior citizen then it will pick up.
Good lord for real!?!?!!!!!
We have a friend from Toronto who met a gal from Victoria through a dating program, came out, met her in person, married her and they're very happy
yes. about 55 to 65 is the dead zone.
lol, they would both have been in that "dead zone"
well that is the problem. there are so many men who specify age whatever to 55
urban myth flosey
sheesh - think I will stay solo then. Lovely flosey, there are lots of people who do manage to find a mate via the web but few and far between.
what is the urban myth?
I agree FM, it's all too dicey
Have to say I have met some interesting chaps via the net in the UK and the States but none I would have ever settled down with but fun for a couple of dates.
ok now i do not want to sound shallow although i will. i am in shape told i do not look my age and would like someone around my age with shared cultural references. but most want someone younger. even if they have big beer bellies and look 70
the MEN i mean, not the women LOL
TO dear having seen a pic of you , can appreacite your comment you don't look yr age!!!
dryer buzzed bbs
hi, all. I have been offline since Wednesday night. Lightning hit some of the equpment for my internet service, and the technician had to come change it.
Hi Angel
hi angel
so it seems we have killed the chat then, fm?
oops sorry I was looking at the TV!
No, I have been readkign with interest. The Detroit Symphony sponsors a singles group, dinner and concert for a fee. Join a group which shares your interest. I was a volunteer usher for 25 years and witnessed three successful marriages between ushers.]\
inge i know what you mean. that is very good advice.
I guess it is a case of getting out there and meeting real people. Not that I am either ready or looking for that now.
{{{{fm}}}} i said the same but if i had gone out there immediately i would have been out of the zone!
Oh in which case you can test the waters and give me feedback then LOL
no i am saying i should not have dragged my feet. you have to kiss a lot of toads so to speak.
it does work ... but you have to be patient and not expect to meet someone right away
Sorry, I am so off the dating scale I can't even understand the chat!
and you may have to participate in more than one group
lol i mean you have to kiss a lot of toads before you find your prince
It's only been a year since B died so I guess i have a way to go yet :)
you'll know when you're ready
{{{{fm}}}}} you have to be rady. you'll know.
awe you guys
!!
and even then, go out and make friends, meet people. don't think "dating"
for me, i think the blow was so great i will never reach that point. seriously.
aww TO :(
Absolutely willd. Have so many things I want to do and who knows what the future hold. TO - I can happily imagine not being in a relationship again, it doesn't scare me at all, it would be nice it at some point it happened but if it doesn't I am not going to worry about it.
I thought that at one point, and it took almost 4 years for me to even think about going out again, but I finally did it and I met the man I've been with for over a year
great attitude fm
Frankly one divorce and one death is enough emotion to handle.
for now
Yay wild :)
really.
:)
and having shared that I must away to the Post Office to post the days work stuff. Hugs to both of you.
tc fm
part of the issue is that marriage was excluive, i.e. no friends or other couples to socialize with, just each other. he had no friends and would not do anything with my work mates
that's suffocating
fm see you later. chin up!

fm and temple, I don't often chat, just listen, but it sounds like we have some things in common. I lost my husband last september. If your interested in talking in another place I'd be glad to exchange emails or facebook.
Hi mklein, just got back from the Post office and errands run and saw yr post!
Glad to hear from you.
I know this isn't the place for serious talk which is why I suggested emai.
if you can give yr email addy I will send you mine. Probably best if you put it into your profile for a couple of mins so I can get it and then you can take it out again?

One of my son lives in Austin and the other lives in Brighton.

I've never developed the taste for those, lil. Maybe if I pile on more brown sugar :)
oh they're so good, with a big plate of eggs... brown sugar NO! Just put a little bit of butter on em
exile
I love gr 5/14...even with maple syrup
which is where you'll be in the PB if you do that again, lil --- LOL!
oops

Lil, off you go>>>>>theres a plate of grits and eggs waiting for you
haha, Annie said a worrrrrrrrrrrrrd

annie, you said gr5 hahaahahaha
oooooh I did (door bell, bbs)
bring some syrup
I said gr 5/14!!! Silly me...bringing the syrup
I thought "crill" was a word???? Some sort of plankton stuff that whales eat?
UPS just delivered a new carafe that I broke..now I can have my favorite way of making coffee
with a k
I think it is spelled krill
I did too, lil -- having just watched Finding Nemo again. :)
oh you're so right, thankyou Annie

ItalianGreyhound.. your pups are so cute! I keep admiring them when I go thru the "who's online" list
BTW, thank you also wildcat, for correcting me on the spellin gof Krill... sorry, just now saw your post

You can preview the book on Amazon. What tip category would you like? Saving on utilities, clothes, furniture, insurance, recreation, education, .... the book is divided by budget category, and it has a budget chart that goes with it.
cool!!!! I will preview it on Amazon :)
fireworks
woooooooo hoooooooooooo Boooooooo
yay boobear! ^_^
Hurrah for boo!!
~reading up on recession tips~
congrats boo!
One of my favorite photos is at the start of Chapter 1, which Amazon previews. The gentleman sleeping in the grass behind the statue was a wonderful juxtaposition to the beautiful Madonna statue. The sculptor gave me permission to use my photo of his work.
I'm missing a 7 - have gr, po, st and ta - ???
i need a hint for the ta7 please
Me too, please :)
ta7 is a baby frog
thanks, rach!
thank you rach :)
now i'm missing one 7
There are two po7/32
appreciate the hint, Haz :)
The second extends the po4/4 to do with elections.
ty
Obi Wan! Haz, there was discussion yesterday about how playing Babble is like Star Wars, and we decided that you are Obi Wan Kenobi :) No one wanted to be Jabba the Hutt, though ....
Hope it helps!
hint on the second po7?
Hello ch1212 - is being Obi Wan Kenobi a good thing? I'm a complete Star Wars ignoramus.
I would like to be Artoo D2
oh Haz, Obi Wan is the BEST
po7, the second - one who conducts a po4/5?
Oh yes, Haz. Obi Wan is the Wise One.
Oh,that's good. I take it Jabba the Hutt is the worst?
Well, he's certainly the biggest :D
I'll be the princess
I shall settle for wisdom. I thank you!
what's po7 the first?
Princess Wildcat-Leia :)
i got that one i need the other po7
polent
Any takers for Hans Solo? (No gender requirement)
I would like to be Yoda
NM
yup
ooohh, good choice, Annie
Thank you, rach
The first po7/32 - Italian cornmeal mush - to the sound alike po4 (the long stick) add mixed up result of too much sun.
add a vowel rach
I nominate Torgone for Hans Solo
good casting, lil
Yes! And yesterday I nominated Movieman as the creator George Lucas
Annie, do you have a character ??? I'm thinking Cp3-0
again, good casting, ch
I nominate CrossHair for Chewbacca LOL
He'll be thrilled.
because they are both hairy
I am thinking of that too as I type
Annie is Yoda, lil.
Unless she wants to be C3PO.
Oh, I want to be Yoda.
oh that's right... DUH! hahaha... I am perfect for Artoo D2 because we are both flaky
so who is darth vader ??????
LOL
I'll be the singer in the cantina - !
Yoda and Annie are both cute
the cute one ch?
ne5?
Who wants to be Darth Vader?
*blushing*
I'll just sit back here and look wise even though I haven't a notion about what's going on. Feel the wisdom, people.
rach, sounds like one who is fascinated by the knobby things on your legs
Who is Princess Leia?
ne5/10 - one who believes in nothing - same ending as one who doesn't believe in God (ath****)
I think Wildcat is Princess leia
yup
Okay, good choice
thanks
How about Sprite or Mr. P for Princess Amadala?
You're welcome, rach.
bbs
How about DCSeain for 3 CPO?
who is Princess Amadala? I'm not familiar with that character
LOL Annie! Good one!
oh good choice, Annie
mrp, of course
She is Princess Leia's mom, with Darth as the dad
OK gotcha
Oh wait though ... would that then make lickety Darth?
So Lickety can be Darth...keep it in the family
LOL
Hope Lickety does not take offense?
I'm plummeting back into the grid. Thanks for the giggles :)
Nah, He would love to be a villian
I hope not too! We can't jeopardize the list!
I think Lickety is pretty laid back.
Oh who is Luke Skywalker?
Hi for a couple of minutes, folks! Can anyone help me with the po6/21 between propelled a gondola & the cornmeal food?
And now that we are done casting...I am going to torture myself with finding words I KNOW are NOT there
HI MG
MG - add two letters of verb form of 'to be' to the end of the gondola propellor thing.
MonkeyGames! Eee ekekee eeeek
Or po plus flowery garlands.
Ooook oook!!!!
Thanks Haz!
You're welcome.
Now may I have a hint for the si5 between quiet and the edge of a windowframe?
Tea time - hungry husband arrived home, I'd better look domesticated in the kitchen..... (s plus proper term for holly)
Haz you do realise you should have sald you 'force' not wisdom. and then a good link would have been : http://tinyurl.com/m2u3xa tenuous I know but what the heck :)
Bye!
Bye Haz, and will liook at that clue... have a good one!
Hello FM! I'll check it out later, may the force be with you all!

shoo, if you were to spell out the letter L that's the first el4.
will need to pick you brain as to how i can get an icon for me.. i did upgrade..sooooo but thats later
yea! shoo welcome to pro!! she's addicted now! lol
oky how about another clue with that el4, i must not be doing something right.
another babble addict has been born?
it's a plural shoo

Hi Inge! yup, shoo is another addict to the cause!
25...
i know shoo
go shoo!
welcome shoo, we all say we can drop babble at will, but few succeed
hello, my name is LBD, i'm a babble addict.
is ap4/6 an earlier version of an ip**?
yep
no not really
ap is similar ending as the il4.
I'm getting there as an addict and its all LBD's fault!!
oh I guess it is I missunderstood
yeah, it's one of the better addictions to have, sis
there is always something intresting on babble
the company is always fine, although the conversations are occassionally odd.
I hope Mrp didnt get lost in the vat of onions she went to move
lbd, did you shoo shooshoo into playing babble
odd? here?
looks around
yes, Inge. she's my middle sister. gotta keep our brains functional, even if babble has a tendency to make us a bit crazy.
can anyone clue the an5/10 please?

once she is a pro she merely needs to contact lickety
then you dont have to worry about goofs
we'll get her all set up in no time. she's gone pro, then she'll get an icon, then expert!
well as long as you rememebr to hit enter if you are going crazy typing words lol

Hello Phae

ewww what a combination, lol
eeewww, saurkraut and p=butter?
the night crew must have eaten all the goodies
that's what i thought too!
night crew usually stocks it with chocolates and booze
I think sumbody was playin a joke!
well tonight we should leave them something equally as strange, hmmmm Herring and raspberry syrup?
and the inbetweenies drink and eat it all
ok really gone for ciggie now couldn't find lighter
probably ru! holding out on the wine and chocolates.
heck he prolly ate and drank it all and it was all he had in his fridge to leave

Hello JBV! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
hi JBV
hi jbv
hi Min! I am exhausted but OK - we are doing a major declutterizing of the basement - have been at it for two days straight (getting ready for a basement improvement project)
If I had to do that, I would just put it off by babbling.
it is both emotionally and physically draining -
hy, jbv
that is hard work jbv, i hope it keeps moving along for you
hey all, hows the grid?
well I finished the grid this morning, so then I guess I had no excuse not to work
hey, seain
and red!
L's licked! 2 left
hi, red, it's friendly so far, i'm about half way in 40 minutes of off and on play

i finished a crossword tom and started, after adding 15 words to it yesterday. i hope he won't mind
I'm doing pretty well, seain, how are you?
I do NY Times crosswords and they're all mine - no sharing!
ut oh, that's treading on thin ice, finishing someone else's puzzle. better get the colander out from the cabinet for protection

my teeth are fixed but for the double apicoectomies and implants, which i'll be doing in Oct or Nov

well, it's one of a volume of NYT time puzzles on the DS
and he didn't complain about the filled in bits :) We'll see how he reacts to the finishing. I may even start the next one. May have to get my own DS
whats a DS?
i think that, in the interest of harmony, you should get your own DS. i'm like red .. no sharing of crosswords allowed
Nintendo DS - handheld gaming system.
you may be right welki, though we oft work the grid together
wow, they have crosswords on nintendo?
at least on the Nintendo DS, yes

Jmc, you can always g go go at a school volunteersing or smething?
greetings all
that's a good idea red
hi big
my spelling is atrocious.
evening, big
at least as good as mine red
but maybe there is something like that that would help you to maintain work, but to take a type of break from regular work..
I took a two week vacation and volunteered at leal services in New Orleans last year
that is my idea of a break
well, you could do that again?
fret fret fret fret fret
that cost money red
Oh yes, money.
I am no good what soever at dong nothing
*doing
fret fret fret fret fret fret
well, htere are probably people in DC that need some legal services.
well that's a thought red good idea
*taking a breath*
but you know, doing something totally different might be a grand time. Like working with kids to read or do math better.
*glancing at grid*
that is another idea red

hello babble friends!
rats, I missed my Torgone!
does maxine have anything to say about being on sabbatical or laid off (I am not sure there is a difference)?
hi Trif!
hey Trif
well hey there ladies! we are becoming a regular club here, aren't we??
from an NPO/NGC, sometimes but not always
sometimes sabbatical=layoff
wait what about dc?
Hi Trigioso! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
Sabbatical usually means you left on your own and plan to return. laid off means someone else made the choice
evening, trifioso
jmc, have you ever heard of frances moore lappe?
it's a nice club to belong to, Trif
evening min, dc....
they are paying me if only there is enough money (NOT!!!)
is that what's in your contract, Jmc?
the Mennonite who wrote Diet for a small planet?
hmmm seems more like laid off then
I haven't had a written contract for 10 years
indeed jmc. didn't know the Mennonite part....
I am hired from year to year
with a layoff you can collect unemployment.
Good book
she is hiring, and I have applied...just wondered if you knew anything about her. I didn't, before her listing popped up. interesting woman!
hmmm that would be worth looking into but the nonprofit is self insured so unemployment would cost them a fortune
go for it Trif!!!
well, if they paid into unemployment, the money is already there.
cool, trif. what would you be doing for her?
working with the manuscript of her next book, I think.
well the thing about nonprofits is that they only have to pay when the money is tapped
proofing and editing or typing?
that is sooooo cool trif
looking for work is so hellish. people stop at "re-entering the workforce" and don't even give me a chance. sigh
not sure lbd. little of all, I think
i'll keep you in my prayers, Trif. finding work in this economy is almost like finding hens teeth
thanks lbd. I really don't want to just get some crap retail job...
so take the phrase "reentering the work force" out of your resume and letter
it's not in there in those words, jmc, but it is pretty obvious that I have not worked for pay in 12 years....all the recent stuff is volunteer only
I have hired at least 100 people and I will tell you that the trick isto get me to meet you
i know all about crap retail. mostly crappy managers.
then reconfigure the resume so I am not looking at the diereence between paid and upaid
what gets them in to see you, jmc?
word your resume as work experience. doesn't have to be for pay.
i know i nkow pb for me *grum ble*
exactly lbd
nibbling on pb chocolate
I will definitely look at the wording, thanks!!!
Trif, you can send me your resume, I'll chop it and let you know where you need to reword and refine it.
oh, duh Opel is the car co
seriously, though, jmc - what catches your eye, gets someone in to see you?
The first thing is dont make the resume too long
I never read more than one page
thanks lbd!
okay, one page, check.
I hate resumes that are more than one page -- especially professional housewifes
used to do this in my former life, actually in several past lifes.
lbd, are we facebook friends?
second make sure the paper is quality -- Iknow that sound elitist but the rallity is that is stands out
stuck on my last word. ex5-22. I can't see it for looking. Help please
Most companies don't want more than one page resumes. I have a 5 page curriculum vitae which i chop down to the bare necessities for a resume
salmon - do you have the one that means to shun someone, a la Napoleon on Elba?
I drop oof everything before law school
ex + Mrs Nixon's first name shortened
ex5: ex+wheel of fortune host *** sajak salmocreston
to be or not to be , ex5
Then remember to add the things you do that are not work
ex5 ex5 for ex5 in ex5. so ex4! heee!
ty dc
help please with the po6/21
I am definitely good so far - one page, nice paper....though mostly people just want them sent via email. I did add in lots of relevant things I have been doing.
(i've had way too much fun we the EXes today)
rats I meant to get a picture of Kitty Carlisle for me icon

hey torg
Hello shorty! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
lol. not a lot of finance stuff in there, no. not at all my area of expertise!
Stikko Cappuccino wafer sticks taste like cappuccino
but if you are the treasurer of an org I am interested
they're from Indonesia
nope. reader, writer, editor, teacher
Shorty????
good thing they taste like cappucino then DC
Got some dishes washed, put some in to soak, did some laundry, I am going be a fine little wife for someone someday ..
Then write aresume that lets me know you are a writer
oohooh I always wanted a wife!
well, first i've tried them, so i know not what to expect. it was another of Tom's random Asian market purchases
and what a lucky person she will be, Torg
Shory asked for the po6 clue earlier, jmc.
use words that leap out at me
*Shorty.
i guess illed is slang
I didn't get that one, btw - po plus what???
thanks jmc. will do!
Hi all. This keyboard's still sticking. Might be fine for a two-fingered typist but not a speed typist like me.
HI JAC!!!!!!!
po + hawaiian flower necklace, is po6.21
yes, and "sixed" also, although I am sure I have "deep sixed" something at least once....

LOL, Harp.
armands makes an amazing garlic and spinach pizza
hmm my cat is calling for unkonwn reasons brb
Will have to remember that one if that word is in the grid on another Friday.What are the chances of that
yes they do indeed, jmc :)
and wonderful icon, harp
your icon reminds me of the first muppet movie, harp, when kermit was riding on his little bike, with his toothpicky legs. even the thought of it gets me in the giggles
Min has a cute icon clue too.
I forgot about it being icon clue day. I might have gone for ta7/36, had I remembered.
di6?
glad to make people laugh!
the earth is di6 - north and south
di + long rod or wood or metal
Thank you lbdawger! Finally able to get an icon that actually moves in profile. Never had one like that b-4
di6 is like the ta7/36 I just mentioned, Harp. Well, the ending is...

THank you Min.
Hugs all round
It is 3.52am. I have heartburn and a hot flush/flash going on, and if I don't sleep soon I will be carted off to do the grocery shopping and then for a pub meal in my nightie and dressing gown.
having spent so much time with her little Australian cousin during her visit to Ireland, secondo is DETERMINED to come and live round about your way for a summer, herin!
Well I can take a rug rat over your winter in December Jan
can you imagine if we actually met someday! so exciting!
That would be awesome. I have a spare room
Jac, that would be quite an eyefull for the patrons.
It would indeed, lbd!
any more clues? need to go to bed. no work tomorrow, just tired.
where shall I send the resume, lbd?
jeeesh, some one i've known for 20 years had to ask for clarification for 'send it to me at my usual handle at gmail'
Jac I would just go out in my pjs
Go to bed lbdawger. I can stay and clue until the flip.
my gmail addy in my profile, trif. be sure to add babble in the subject line.
thank you so much, lbd!!! you are a star!
though we call him clueless joe for a reason :)
glad the old skills are still useful, Trif.
my email address is the same as my log on name here, so when you see it - that's me! :)
I live here and facebook
Reading the chat about doing a modern resume was informative. I'm not planning to work outside the home again but, should I have to, I will bear all the useful tips in mind.
Herin - I wouldn't be 'decent'. LOL
pfft to being decent
pffft to you herin
HI JM
and jac too
People should be greatful i don't look like a bogan
what's a bogan, herin?
trif I think we are both on facebook but if not you can send a resume to me at this name at yahoo
um Redneck
oof what;s a bogan?
we are FB frends, jmc. thanks!
oh but i am a redneck
Speaking of which, I wandered up the garden in my nightie and dressing gown yesterday morning, cradling my big morning cup of tea, to find Beloved up there sunbathing au naturelle in front of our young fig tree. 'You might need one of those leaves shortly if your daughter wakes up and comes up here,' I said. 'I'm not boasting,' said he, 'but I don't think any of the leaves are big enough. I spat my tea all over the place! I do love him. He makes me genuinely LOL at least once a day.
lol!
a man that makes you laugh is worth the moon
LOL!That's great Jacula. I am sure that is one of the many reasons why you married him. Laughter is good
Yes, he is worth the moon, jmc.
Min - we're not married.
then lucky you jac
Assumed you were since you refer to him as beloved.
sory my net went out
I married my husband because he made me laugh -- he was the 13th marriage proposal I had
excellent jacula!!!
Min - easy mistake to make. We've been together about 6 and a half years. I've been divorced for 14 years but Beloved hasn't got around to it yet.
no sense rushing these things
woo hoo! just had my fingers on the wrong keys, typed in some nonsense, and it took it! yay!
A marriage breaking up makes you more cautious of committing again (in both our cases).
Trif - that wasn't you, it was your monkeys.:)
sigh its himselfs birthday and I can't crack the shits at him for being loud
rill
well then, thank you monkeys!
not sure what that means herin but birthdays excuse a lot
sorry
pb herin *opens door*
I know, really! what the heck does that mean anyway, herin? hope it's not literal!
He is playing a video game and its LOUD
Not an expression I've heard either, Herin, but I guess it means 'go mad at'?
Yes indeed
trif I got the message and will check it in the am when I am ober
Ozzies have such colorful expressions ..
*sober
thanks jmc
or over sober
and so do you torg
*Smiles to self, glad that her watching of 'Neighbours' and 'Prisoner Cell Block H' many moons ago, gave her an understanding of Australian language.*:D
mmmmm sober
all the t's from the top left t are ti's, right?
tu4
Torg - one of my favourite Aussie expressions is that for men's Speedoes - 'budgie smugglers'.
hell I hardly have un understanding of Americanisms
LOL
lol like that one jac
Banana hammock ..
oops - just the one tu 4 then? all the rest ti
Descriptive, isn't it?:)
hmmm
I will never find 7 ti words
Keerect Trifs ..
Yes, Trif.
None of the ti's are weird words.
*lookig for gin
can anyone please help with the ex 5/22, please? thanks
I am afraid that is not the issue for me jac *hiccup*
All but the 1st ti start with the same 1st 3 letters ..
Banana hammock? What about the brace of peaches, Torg.
Oops, jmc. Want a clue list for 'em?
joey a person living out side of their natice country is an ex***

nothing has been si6 at my aunt's farm since 1974
a si5 engine - random clue :) i do that sometimes
I understand your aunt's farm -- the engine leaves me baffled
Herin - what's that then? Whether or not to batter your b/f on his birthday?
no battering on birthdays!!!!!!!!!!
Its more than that. I don't want to go to his party tonight
I would rather stay at home
medieval attack weapon for wearing down troops/walls. early examples include catapaults, trebuchets, and greek fire
go herin
jmc - si5 = s + i4 (holly bush proper name), uses high point tile.
one si5s a site to make it fall

Sisn't want to burn the house down!
Or even didn't.

i used to use a fireplace for heat. so i've less issue with flames while sleeping than most.
I have even less issue with heat since I have no AC
;-)
jmc - I've got a sleep spray now. Unfortunately, a night sweats take no note of lavender.

What cat was that, Herin?
this too will pass
jmc - my Mum's 75 and she still suffers same way.
that is definitely sad to hear jac
Eboniza and Snooch. Twolumps.net. The real life Snooch died.
I know, jmc. Mum's 86-tear-old neighbour, who died 6 months ago also still suffered same to the end.
oh, :( how very sad
okay I made 1/2 way and am folding under the bottle of champagne
finish the bottle and sleep well, jmc
Don't know them, herin. Sorry about the real cat though.
I have sweats from time to time but not much of a deal
bottle long finished my turn to hit the hay

HI Cross
Hello crossy.
help with ne 5/10 pls
past my bed time but thought id give it a go;)
Bird's home with a personal pronoun in front of the first vowel, big red.
thank you Jacula
Hi crosshair!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
y/w, big red.
That ne 5/10 word is like that de 5/12 word big red.
Even though I didn't type the clue quite right.
tyvm min:)
you gys are great clue givers.
Should have said personal pronoun after the first vowel.
Thanks, big red. We so our best.
Or even do our best. Seems like the mostused keys are sticking on this keyboard. Time to buy a new one rather than take it all apart and clean it again?
I can only type correctly at any time of day if I press each key firmly and type slowly. That means that I am either losing my speed touch typing ability or that they keyboard's knackered.
Newkeyboard
clean it if you can..less plastic in landfills
crossy - we recycle our plastic here.
ive become hyper-aware of all the platic refuse that our family of 3 generates and it is scary;(
plastic*
sometimes keyboards have reached the end of their life spans'
It IS scary, crossy. Have you seen the sea gyre - that massive ball of plastic waste in the ocean?
Herin - I think mine has.
I don't know why they don't clean it up
lol..i just saw a special show on that just an hour ago!!
Probably down to money, Herin.
was on daily planet on the discovery channel
but that is obscene
Must've been a repeat, Crossy. I saw that a couple of years ago.
discovery is my favorite channel ;)
Everything's down to costing these days, Herin. Maybe that's why neither the police or the child protection agency hadn't bothered to find out where my stepdaughter is living right now, even though they 'phoned her mobile on Friday to tell her the result of her Mum's boyfriend's court case.
o
but it is so hard to cut down on plastic consumption;(
oops sorry i jumped in the middle of a coversation;(
He's now on the sex offenders list but neither the police or social services have bothered to check where she is living now, since she's no longer in their area, i.e. with her mum and mum's b/f.
damn typos;(
We can have many convos at once
adopt
Darn! Sorry!
pb for min!!
I mean, she's better off with us but they don't know that! No one's been here to make sure we're okay and she's okay. I find that scary.
I am done!I have fireworks! ad5/14 was my last word
LOL Min.
I don't deserve FW's since I'm in the Penalty Box now
Well done, Min.
yaa for min!! 21 gun salute for you!!
its ok min ,as it was your last word,you are exempt
cross - it is hard to cut down on plastic consumption since most supermarkets insist on putting stuff in plastic trays or polystrene. If you have a local butcher, go there - less packaging.
feels great to be with my babble buddies after a nasty day at work:)))
help pls with my last one si 6.18
Min - letting you off as it was your last word.
That si 6/18 word is si**** Night, holy night big red.
that is awkard Jac
jacula,ive actually gone to a bulk store to buy my toilet paper in the single roll hotel style packaging just to try and cut down on plastic;/
Not noisy, big red.
si6 = Shhhhh
thank you thank you fireworks!!!!
we are a family of 3 and we fill a stander blue box ever 3 days;(
yaa for big rad!!
Congratulations big red on fireworks! Hooray for you
damn typos
Crossy - not sure what the situation is there in Canada, but, here in UK, I find shopping locally for fresh and local produce is not only cheaper but also cuts down on packaging.
ondeed jac
whoo,i cannot type tonight
31 to go
I've an aunt and uncle and cousins etc. who've been in Canada since the 1960s (but my uncle's rubbish on the computer. He got me an all my cousins and Facebook and then kinda disappeared 'cos he couldn't work out hw to do it). I've also an ex bro-in-law who's recently emigrated to Canada in the police force. My daughrer and outlaws (ex in-laws) are off to visit in about 2 weeks.
And I'm too tired to spell now, it's not the keyboard this time.
canada is the best!! we came over from the U.K in 66
It was 65 or 66 when my uncle and aunt and cousin emigrated to there, crossy.
Where to you come from in UK?
i was born in watford
have a uncle in london still,and my grammy is still in cornwall and 100 years old this year!
Quite well spaced out then, crossy.
indeed
Your gean's doing well!
*gran
100 and 2 artificial hips deaf as a post but she still makes her own yorkie pudding;)
I'd better try sleeping again now or I'll be grumpy and good for nothing later.
Good for her, crossy. Is it stil edible?
My great Uncle is turning 100 years old this month.
k jac have a good night,sleep tight and dont let the bed bugs bite;)
nothing better than home made;)
yaa for mins uncle;)
Goodbye Jacula! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!
The only thing that's likely to bite me when I get into bed is Beloved for not being there and getting 8 hours' sleep.:(
'Night all. See you later.
