Hi MrP
hi mrp and katie - I've just come back, not sleeping, might as well pick up a few more wors
hi katie and flosey!
Good morning/evening all.
Hi flosey
morning Haz
hi Haz
Hello - Katie, how's your mouth coming along?
Hello everyone
much better today thanks Haz, going back to work tomorrow :-)
Hi lynxxx
Good to hear, katie - no further treatment necessary?
Hello lynxxx.
I will need to get my tooth taken out when I get back from holiday, can't do it before because of the anti-biotics, but not worried about it, after this I will be glad to be rid of it.
another holiday? what exotic place are you off to this time Katie
I had to get a tooth taken out last year - root canal treatment would have been impossible because the root was curved (even my roots are twisted), and the extraction wasn't too bad.
Having had both I preferred the extraction. We are going to Stalis in Greece for the week lynxxx
Nobody can accuse you of not doing your bit to keep the tourist industry alive, Katie.
looovely!
Oh Lucky you Katie, I loved Greece
lol Haz, everyone needs a hobby! we are only going away twice this year which for us is cutting back :-)
And then Canada next year?
we have had a bit of a change of plan. We are going to the Maldives next year in April/May and then a couple of short haul holidays and then doing Canada in the Summer of 2011
I have broken the news to hubby that i have promised to do the olympic bob sleigh course which isn't open to the public until 2011 and he took it relatively well lol
Get your insurance now!
Diem and I whizzing along lol
really - Wow!
It will be an experience.
hubby took the idea of extreme zip lining much worse
Have you ever noticed that people always call mind-boggling and bone shaking events 'experiences'?
Blame the film the bucket list, I've become much more adventurous
Is this a long held ambition?
I went to Canada when they were building it and Diem and I made a pact that the first time I was over after the olympics we would do it.
Good for you! What else is on the bucket list?
everytime we go away we pick something, we are going to have to see what is available in Greece but swimming with Dolphins is a must as is whale spotting with hubby
We have done so much since we met it's hard to keep thinking of new ones but we are trying :-)
They don't all have to be death defying, then?
Oh no, going to see a wonder of the world was one of them
and I do have a safety valve. I wanted to roller blade round stanley park in vancouver but bearing in mind I couldn't stand up on them we decided that biking round it was much more sensible
did the "A Thousand things To Do" inspire you Katie
some of the safest things were the scariest. We swam in a cenote in Mexico which was freezing and full of black catfish, really didn't like that one.
I don't have a list or anything, but occasionally on holiday, you do have a moment where you think 'I'll always remember this'
i haven't seen that lynxxx must look it up as we need inspiration.
ahhh keep moments. there is nothing as good as having that though Haz and it can be over the smallest things
Exactly, it's as if the moment is etched on your mind, a snapshot memory with all senses involved.
off to bed again, goodnight all, this time I must sleep!
Goodnight flosey, just don't dream about that bob sleigh!
goodnite Flosey
that's not for me Haz, those days are long over
Have a peaceful sleep, flosey, see you later.
for sure, will be back in the morning
Back shortly.
BBL
G'd mornign Babblers! Shall I take the drugs now, or wait until the first sweep is done?
Hello Lori - no drugs needed for this.
This is good news. Heya' Hazaurus!
How are you? Apart from being drug free so far?
Life is good. I miss FM. Her obsession with making a living is annoying. How 'bout you, anything new? Plans for world domination?
I know. You'd think she could live on toast and baked beans for a week or two. World domination plans are coming on well. Can't say any more otherwise I'd have to kill you.
Understood .
It's nothing personal, you understand.
Shirley Ata Hari will be liberated soon?
You'd have to hope so. It feels like she's been away for long enough.
People near those kennels where Hobbit's stationed can't get a wink of sleep because of all the howling.
Indeed. Special Ops seem to be lasting a long time.
I maintain that if you get any authority figure involved in a situation, they milk it.
Imagine the frost when Ata picks up Hobbit? Delight or snubbed. We'll see.
I think the unlimited expense account was a mistake.
I know. Ata and Platinum cards are a dangerous combination. Art supply shops in Oregon are reporting complete buy out.
She's bound to draw attention to herself with all that extra luggage.
Posh Spice will be jealous.
Shameless really. With the nature of the mission, she knows nothing can be said. Smart girl that Ata.
She is Einstein's granddaughter, let's not forget.
How could we forget? BRB
See you later, Lori - I have to go. Boring things to do. Enjoy the grid!
lol, Happy boringness! Laters Haz.
good morning babblers - small puzzle today,eh? comparatively. ;-)

Confession time: who else keyed in 'fartass' hoping that it would be a word???
Hand staying firmly by my side.
lol dachef, I didn't see if but if I had I would have typed it in!!
You're a bit of a stranger these days.
yes, I'm going for the mysterious stranger angle.
Is it paying dividends?
nope. but I'm nothing if not persistent.
If at first you don't succeed, keep trying?
good morning everyone
I keep typing in Tena as in lady, it's never a word *sigh*
morning flosey
Good morning flosey - sleep well?
in all seriousness, now that I'm working at home on my computer, in my time off I try everything to get away from it. babble is good in the very early am though - helps to get the eye in, so to speak.
We miss your unique view on the world, Dachef. Don't be a stranger for ever.
yes thanks Haz, just woke at 8: am
So you've been babbling but not chatting?
my view is not unique - its just not very serious is all.
Afternoon all couldn't help but stop by and say hello for a moment
i can't chat that much anymore. there are far too many strange people taking things too seriously for me. I want to have fun and laugh out loud at the existence of words like 'fartass' in the grid.
no just came into babble, haz, I wake up, turn on computer, then go about morning stuff, now am settling in
I wonder if FM is about - she missed out on tenrec being in the grid, she'll be tickled..... and here she is.
hi FM
It's a nice grid, flosey, now you're wide awake you'll storm through.
Hi dear babble buds :)
hi FM
Hello hello FM - was going to e-mail you to alert you to the presence of the lesser spotted Dachef.
Dachef - great to see you!
Hi flosey and all.
never before has my appearance caused such consternation amongst the female contingent.
Not consternation, Dachef dear, delight and delirium.
anyone have the second af 6 not the bobbing in the water one?
We don't get many men in babble, as you know...
did most last night Haz, just finishing up last 26 this morning
howdy all ;) dachef you sound like my kind of people;)
Have just finished a lengthy call with a client and have to go out shortly but was casting a quick eye over babble and had to fly my icon so not to be forgotten!
af6/27 - three in a boat, ending of mim*** flowing plant.
and haz won't let george out of that closet...
There are plenty of men here .. Some of just don't na6/18 on as much as others ..
Hooray, torgone is here and talking. Hello ruru and hurshy.
ha ha! man power! we are man, we are strong.....
im a tarus,ill yammer on till the end of time:)
Torg, Crossy (())) and Dachef and ruru - funny how they guys come out of the woodword so to speak :)
If we girls keep quiet and let them talk amongst themselves, can we achieve a full page of blue heads?
but you're so funny, tor, you SHOULD na6.
gives dachef the secret many man handshake;)
Never happen ..
Doubt it Haz
nope
You mean we can't keep quiet for a page?
sounds like the result of a very bad diet.
not possible...
I say it can be done.
crossy remanis silent on that 1
*smells testosterone, comes running into chog*
keep on saying it cant be done.
howdy eva:)
lol EvaN
We're doomed now, EvaN is here. She'll not keep quiet for a page.
~8-O
A page is a relative thing based on how big your screen is
Listen, we've had songs sung in harmony on this thing before, surely we can have man chat for a page?
crossy wonder if babble can be page bumped
nope
We're doomed. The men will have bigger screens than the women.
FmItch: is that a euphemism?
If the page is from the top of the blue slider to the bottom?
And if we ladies take a vow of silence for say five minutes?
And if the men keep talking like mad - I say it's possible.
For example mine has 9 log entries right now (given the short sentences that have been typed. LOL Dachef (a nod and a wink and all that).
personally speaking, my screen is HUGE.
*mopes back to work, feeling unloved and unwanted* -EDIT- *mopes SILENTLY back to work, feeling unloved and unwanted*
well i drive a tiny car and have size 12 feet;))
lol dachef
*now she has given the men something to chat about*
((EvaN))
get back here va
You're not unwanted, EvaN, nor unloved. None of that turned down lip nonsense.
I didn't know someone could smell testosterone?
yknow haz, i could probably get the gents chatting by pointing out that i have a new pic up in my flickr group...heh
(She's so high maintenance since she started getting her photos taken with next to nothing on)
Oh ruru you have misse out on so much!
Mass exodus to EvaN's flickr.
Flickr's server suddenly has an overload of traffic!
The hussy! Cleavage AND a motorbike.
mmm biker babes...
ermmmm are we not doing the silence then?
The men won't be able to type for drool.
i have to go and have a lie down now.
totally clueless as to where the photographer found all that cleavage -- lord knows i cant find it when im looking for it...
i need to take up smoking again....
I think we should still do the silence, Dachef, get yourself gathered together.
and what a wonderful cleavage! LOL crossy
i'm going for painkiller, laughing too much
*silent*
what?
Ladies silent from 10.25 log time?
i could fill the page with a dirty limeric...
Shall we sympathise our watches?
and now I have to go hope you are all still here when I get back but if not Happy Babbling!!!!!!!
There was a young man from Dundee, who swallowed a packet of three......
No, cross, you need to have a conversation amongst yourselves. Manly chat, razor blade anecdotes, that sort of thing.
(((fm)))
Bye FM (going into silent mode for five minutes, sitting on hands etc)
ahh i see best way to each a haunch of beef with your hands sort of thing
good morning
Too much pressure. You know men can't perform when theres too much pressure.
first an7?
hehe suck it up soldier,we ca do it
We could talk about neck hair or something ..
or about that nasty felling when you realy ding the boys a good 1
an7: girls name (same as the one above), folowed by golf **e*.
I don't think I have seen so many men in the chog at the same time.
or chat about maxim magazine..
ruru,seems to me there about 12 regulars
golf what?
Its all guys, no women to be found. welcome to the world of reluctant but inevitable homosexuality.
well you go your way
ru: the little pegs you put golf balls on.
half way boys
we could discuss who the hottest woman on the planet is...
I've never seen so many women stay so quiet for so long. If we could bottle this we'd make an absolute FORTUNE!!!!!
or talk about cars and really bore them to death
football
lol dachef,right when its full ill do a screen shot
We have found the way to keep your missus quiet! The queues would be enormous!
7 more slots and its full
6
I can't believe theres not one woman who is not going to interrupt. they always do.
Seriously .. You know those yacky broads ..
actually i like my women chatty when mine goes quiet i know its about to hit the fan
I am imagining the scores of women, all with their fingers itching, their frsutration mounting, red faces.....
Now we're taunting ..
got it.. a bit confused on that one
yaa for the ladies!! full board of blue heads!!!
opps almost
here's some bait - there is a sweet little black cat napping on a pad next to my desk
ohhh oh,punting with kittens?
maybe i should wake her up, maybe blow up a paper back and pop it
bag
you nasty,now good rabbit recipies,thats the way to go
josh: empty crisp packet works well. Or tuirn your computer speakers up to maximum and then put something really loud on.
i could take my glass of water and drip drip drip to see how much she can take
mm one sad thing..when we are on our own,we dont talk about anything usefull:(
not at all. I'm very interested to discover how amny drops of water it takes to wake a sleeping cat.
wait....
3 drops
right off the top of the head
you can't show putting hands inside waistline of trousers, shifting weight from one leg to another, saying "yyyyyep" a lot, through typing on the internet
fantastic!!
but now the thing is clawing my 500 dollar char,guess i showed that cat eh?
cat is now bathing herself
disgusting exhibitionist creature
k all slot on page are officially full
Its been 12 minutes now. That has to be a world record. Someone phone Ripley's.
crossy purs the ladies some champers for thier success
josh: why do cats lick their own privates? Because they can.
indeed
And because they can't make a fist ..
on
I don't like to be the one to say 'I told you so' but I told you it could be done. Well done!
A clue for an 7/28?
wow! that was a rare event;)
just clued below buff
crossy is impressed
*floats back into the chog, all aloof and nonchalant-like*
A team effort. Should we inform the Olympic committtee of a possible new event?
lol, sorry to break the silence, that was an error, started a word and lazy finger hit the enter
and remember we have long memories - dripping water on kitties indeed!
Thanks, ruru - I'll go look -
Haz, definitely. Women being quiet. They'd never believe it.
naw better not haz,actually makes us guys nervous lol
lol, that was great. i came in halfway through, started reading, and then just started watching.
you are witness to a historic event feather
kinda sad the things guys talk about when there arent ladies around to be interesting...
men running out of things to talk about would probably not be so much of a shock!
checked the log, it lasted a whole 15 minutes
lol katie,us guys are not complicated all we want is a berr and to see something neeked;))
It was fun.
I still want to know what happened to the guy from Dundee, who swallowed a packet of three...or do I? :D
rbud. No. You don't.
crossy -- i came as close as decently possible to providing one of those!
lol eva;)
i can still see the cleavage..
I've got it as my screensaver.
lol dachef
there u go evea,your now a screensaver
What if all the women in the chog posted photos of themselves on harleys with cleavage?
try it and we guys will vote on it:))
my computer would explode.
Who knew that your chest as5/10 would please so many men?
oh great. just dont let chris hear you say that. *looks over shoulder, then remembers shes at work, not home*
bbs..poof
lmao at the thought of me with cleavage on a harley
The men are giving the thought due consideration.
I would have felt better if everyone had laughed!
the men are exhausted from that long stretch of chat...?
I have en7/28 to ask someone for something.. can't see the other two
I know. They're not used to it.
en7/28 - to trap
en7/28 - one who comes in
how can you be seafaring if you can't seafare?
got one of them ..thank you haz
good point, hursh!
I wondered that too last night hursh
Good point and worthy of consideration, hurshy.
so did you guys get the blue-head-page?
i did MY part.
I kept quiet as well.
*keeps mouth shut tight on that one!*
They achieved a world record of 15 minutes and a full page of blue heads.
hey, the name of my neighborhood is in the grid!
maybe crossy went to fix it up as a screen shot...at least he said he would
Is it point worthy, though?
We're very proud of you girls for managing to keep quiet for a whole 12 minutes. No-one understands more than us men what a tremendous effort it required on your part.
And on that note, I bid you farewell.
bye dachef, have a great day
Thank you, Dachef. Farewell but not for long?
chris hates just a single blue head. let along 12-15 minutes of them... :X
ooh that is good!
haz, do you mean does my neighborhood count? no, it doth not.
does chris need therapy?
It was great, hurshy. To quote Tony Blair, we felt the hand of history on our shoulder.
could I have a clue for as8 please?
Pity about the neighbourhood not counting.
oh yea, up there with obama's election, for sure...
ruru -- he may, but thankfully not for blue-head
hello
as8/40 - one who gives agreement or as8/40 -sounding like
thanks Haz
You're welcome.
ah no, sorry, need the last one
ty, Haz, got both!
had that one
It's the sound one - as, a male child, a picnic pest
ah, got it
thanks Haz
Great, glad it worked, flosey.
T's done.....:)
Tag, mama. Where in Germany are you?
well done, mama!
near Heidelberg
hello babblers
I lived in Bad HOmburg, studied in Tübingen
Hello gortmold
i'll cheerfully accept any clues for any sa5, 6 or7 if anyone feels like doling them out
i'll cheerfully accept any clues for any sa5, 6 or7 if anyone feels like doling them out
howdy haz, glad to see you, and i disagree with bab (from earlier) - you don't take over, you help
Thanks gortmold.
been thinking about that weird interaction all day
It upset me at the time but it's done and I'll just keep giving clues if I want to.
sa5/10 - like Christmas Claus, but different vowel at end
atta-girl, and i'll gladly lap them up
sa6/18 - add a consonant to the end of the Spanish saint and then plural for sa7/28
need a clue for the second na5/10 please?
sa6/18 - plural of the sa5/10 at the start of the sequence
i haven't been to either, but i do enjoy germany :)
what are the words that come from the bottom A? clues, i mean, not the words! Thanks
na5/10 - n plus anagram of a chair, or plural beverage
Are you with the US military>
thanks Haz, for fireworks
Well done flosey!
gortmold slowly cogitates spanish saint...will get there, just need time
always miss that one because no singular for it
yes inge
Masculine Spanish saint - sa plus anagram of a heavy weight.
now off for breakfast, bfn, be back tonight at flip
I know, flosey, it catches me out as well.
this was a fun grid
and how delightful to see so many blue shirts at one time
great! Older Germans appreciate your presence. Younger ones dont know all the US has done for Germany's survival
Yes, wasn't it fun? I knew it could be done.
thanks haz, got em now, even tho the only spanish words i know are polenta and maria! :)
bottom row A please?
Glad you got there.
love your icon gort!
One is as5/10 - something you treasure, a positive thing
18 more..mostly A's
thanks harp, does chinglish get under your skin in a ticklish way too?
polenta is italian
Also an7/28 - King of Siam's governess, backwards collection of tea-cups or a score level in tennis.
there you go, i'm down to 1 spanish word and now that i think about it, its probably austrian
You're bound to know paella. It's Spanish for sure.
only when i'm not actually trying to assemble something with those directions, gort!
lol, too right harp, never follow chinglish washing instructions - you'll start ww3
tv taught me something today - for schizzle is gen y for for sure
that's fo' shizzle! that's how people know you aren't gen y ;-)
(sorry haz, i really am ignorant of spanish, thought paella was a type of risotto)
yep, that's me, an ancient international ignoramus
It has rice in it plus all sorts of other things, seafood etc.
try saying that with a mouthful of paella
Not to be attempted without napkin to hand!
gort- you would love engrish.com, if you don't already know it.
yeah i have had the pleasure; do you have a favourite, nbj?
i love them all. at a japanese bath house i bought a little makeup case with happy the tapeworm pal
Right, must go to post some letters. Be good!
cheerio haz, thanks for the help
lol nbj, it's every woman's nightmare isn't it, tapeworm on your lippy?
any clues for an6/18?
sorry- that's tickles the tapeworm! "good day. tapeworm of the tickles. the stomach l iving within is for fun. likes much the good food. great friends are we to the extremity. love me tapeworm."
the whole line is called "parasite pals" cause who doesn't think a parasite is cuddly?
an + shortened form of satisfy
extra LOL nbj
on some level, don't we all want tapeworms in our extremities?
it would help with weight loss.
and we'd never get bored - all that tickling
i'm already starting to feel a bond of kinship with Tickles the Tapeworm - i too like much the good food
don't we all! have you been to the pb lately?
why? is it filled with tapeworm food?
ty gortmold
no worries man
mam i mean
and people food, too, insomuch as we all like the same things. i hear tapeworms aren't too picky
i'm told the way to tease them out of one's innards is to dangle a tempting morsel in front of your mouth, baiting them like a fish, dunno if it's true, but it sounds good in a gruesome way
that explains my 10 yo son's eating habits.
lol
he would be the one person i know to really want one as a pet
anyhoo, worm's gotta eat, gort's gotta sleep
nighty night and don't let the parasites bite
jasmine's gotta showr and get on with my day too- gnite!
hi all
hi there Owl
love your icon, Owl
:)
Owl, are you in Annapolis?
yep
are you visiting friends, I have never been there
bother, why didn't i pay attention when haz was doing E clues.
hi Babblers.. have finished the e's if you need help, hursh
nah, not yet. it's one thing to take 'em when they're being tossed out anyway, it's another to play GWHIM.
ok.. uh, GWHIM?
Guess What Hurshy Is Missing...
lol.. gotcha
Afternoon all Aloy!! (()) and Hi all, having a quick break between work stuff again.
Howdy, FM! sipping some tea?
(())
sun is over the yard arm Aloy!
oops, time zone..
Is todays grid a breeze or a sleaze?
not bad at all.. have enjoyed it
vroom vroom vroom
it's a brabble!!
in roars BabbleRabble.. hi there!
Ok might have a go later, my rankings are plumeting but the chat is still great.
HowDy, folks
Hi BR
started the grid this am, took a break for some yardwork, came back and saw lots more with "fresh" eyes.. haven't found many weirdo words.. nice grid!
We are due to have summer again tomorrow and the day after (yay) high 20s!
it's just a little dizzying with 5 A's, 3 T's, 3 E's, 3 S's, 3 N's, 3 O's...
ooh.. do you have ac?
can't remember what that temp is in the proper scale (how quickly one forgets)
Nope no a/c in the flat or the car :)
but frankly don't need it as Brit weather is georgous up to about 75 degrees and that is a rarity
we rarely need it either.. as my bro says (he is a Fla. res.), you have "Mother Nature's AC".. free!
LOL
i dunno, when i was there in july 2006, it was HOOOOT
Oh wow the Brit. triple jumper just broke the world record yaaaaaay
hi Deeha!
True hurshy but it doesn't last for months like in other countries.
hi folks half babbling half watching great athletics no wonder I am not doing too well
Good morning all .) Only one eye open... require liquid stimulant...
Hi Deeha!
*passes coffee to TK**
um, where are you Kate?
but how will this change in the future? this is what worries me about england.
Toronto, Canada...sorry it's not more exotic
For us it can only get better hursh, a little more of the Mediterranean climate will be great (for a while)
lol, no.. I meant since you were just waking up.. thought maybe you were way west of here
saw a comedian recently that said 'global warming? I'm Welsh - bring it on'!!
No just feeling very lazy and shiftless. Am off right now and the heat has knocked the stuffing out of me...up very late last night
phantom: wappenshaw
wow, hot in Toronto!
more than one SN?
lol BR.. only one, hurshy
no
LOL deeha
It's been a killer. 10 days 40 humidex, 30 degrees. NO AIR CONDITIONING...
gorsh, then why do i need so many more S's
it's hot days like this where i'm grateful to have work to go to, where THEY pay for the AC!
ouch, Kate.. I've seen people wrapped in wet towels, sleeping on lawns during hot sticky weather with no AC
Urf that is tough TK
Just had to shut my garden door in spoite of heat because neighbour keeps clearing his throat and spitting Blah
11 sa
Was waiting for a fax from a client and it has just come in so must poof. Happy Babbling!
ok, i need three more of those.
considered it...opted for a soak in cool tub...didn't help for long...the nights aren't cooling much
bye, poofer.. see you next time!
14 se
people come and go so quickly around here Toto!
bbs.. hubby needs help!
3 sl
bye aloyisius
here is one of my old tricks, kate. right before bed, get in a cool shower until you feel better. gradually turn up the heat until it's a HOT shower. when you get out, the air will feel cooler by comparison. immediately lie down with a fan blowing directly on you.
Nekkid??
if you like!
but you can put on nightclothes first.
Here is a temperature guideline: German schools close when temp is 30 degrees Celsius at 10 am. That is 88 degrees Fahrenheit.
the key is just to get lying down in the fan before you start to feel hot again.
it's been necessary, hursh...can't take the heat these last few years
got the fan going full blast
What do you trade, Kate?
we're i9nterupting BR's clue gathering.
stocks mostly
he's not gathering, he's giving, so i know what s's i miss
Nah, I am just being a gadfly ... sorry to interlope
gotcha...need to keep up. you folks are quick
so i need 3 sa, 3 se, and i suppose that means 2 so
interlopers always welcomeBR
and you're not an interloper, you're a regular!
more time- consuming than facebook, but loads more fun....only second day
sigh... it really sucks that alien species NEVER count
i know, i know, they'd be proper nouns anyway.
still don't get why it took alma but not ipso (or spam) yesterday... should dictionary be updated?
of course the dictionary should be updated. that's always the way it is.
i know...suck it up and quit whining...
The only rule that matters is to never count on any other rule.
I am alweays amazed it will take wog and poof but not slut??? Sexism???
not to mention piss/pissy
wallpapering, gotta go.. critical "around the window" time! Happy Babbling all.. poof
be well, Aloyisius
Sith works ..
Like in Star Trek ..
what's it mean?
lont
did it again. more coffee..>>>>>>>>>>PB
I guess it means hurshy's not here anymore ..
hello everyone
Heya jacq
heya tor, sorry got lost in the grid
to that (OE & ME) and since from siththan (ME)
Star WARS
torgone, the Sith are part of Star Wars, not Star Trek, which would not matter to anyone except Star Trek fans ... ;D
(Psst, everyone, Tor always pretends to confuse Star Trek and Star Wars just to tease hurshy.)
lol
Ah, I wondered! Thanks, Vi... (torgone, you behave!)
I see, Vicuna. It works - I'm confused. I always am.
lol. I just couldn't let folks worry! ;)
I'm an imp ..
Glad to meet another then, torgone. ;)
Rats .. work .. bbl ..
Hey everyone. How is everyone hanging today?
Me too, must dash . . . *POOF!*
Now, 'imp' would be from Realms of Fantasy science fiction, or Robert Heinlein's book "Job: A Comedy of Justice" (also science fiction) :D
Oh man, I chased all the boyz away!
I did that a lot as a child, red... probably why my first date did not happen until I was 19 ! :)
love heinlein
Well, that probably saved you from a lot of issues....
Me too, Trader. Have read all his work, starting with Podkayne of Mars when I was about 9 years old.
fav?
Bounce Gay Bounce!!!
I have been slogging through, David and Ann Meet Spot
oh gosh... probably the Lazarus Long books - all of them. Especially Time Enough for Love.
Number of vthe beast?
BR you're Just having us on...
ooh, good one! Loved his titles, like The Cat Who Walked Through Walls, and the aforementioned Job
also loved the kitten too young bto know she couldn't walk through walls
Heinlein rocks. Evening all!
Hey sprite! your fav?
Stranger in a Strange Land is a classic, of course. I remember when it was considered an underground subversive book.
one of many
no one mentioned stranger in...
Oh, The Glory Road! I LOVED that one, and still refer to myself at times as Empress of the Twenty Universes :)
I think I loved that book about the Moon most... not sure of english title. Where the Moon becomes a free nation/world.
ch are you subversive?
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
indeed :D
I suspect all Heinlein fans have a streak of subversiveness :D
How true...vicarious thrills
I loved the whole notion of liberal anarchism... the political view of the Professor.
I read Farnham's Freehold when the fears of atomic wars were still fresh, and we were practicing "Duck and Cover" drills, so the book was immensely frightening and thrilling.
he really was fantastic
And Double Star helped shape my early political beliefs. Such a fun read!
Jules Verne, Heinlein and Asimov were my first sf writers. Still love them very much.
didn't read that one - don't think. what's it aboot?
Wow, I haven't read any Heinlein in years --- I think it's time to start re-reading again. And Asimov was right up there with Heinlein for me. And Arthur C. Clarke, Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, Ursula K., Zelzany, James Blish ... too many!
fireworks
didn't like asimov so much don't know why...love verne
gratz josh
too many books so little time...sadly i don't read very much any more...life got busy and i got out of the habit...
all good ones, ch!
Double Star was about the original story (set on Mars) that the movie "Dave" mimicked. An unemployed actor who doubles for a world leader, and eventually takes on the role. Though in the movie, Dave returned to his old life.
what is the distinguishing feature of liberal anarchism, sprite?
uh oh...Rabble Trouble...
a liberal anarchist is willing to accept all rules and regulations somebody else needs to feel safe or happy... as long as they don't limit himself.
I'm jumping back into the grid. Thanks for the memories, all!
have a nice jump, ch
ch thanks I'll go find that one it sounds a bit familliar
scary in a post 9/11 world sprite
hi br!!!!
hi sprite, trader, ch1212, etc.
the lurkerz, Hi to you too!
hi red!
hey red
not to me
so I suppose the difference between a liberal anarchist and conservative anarchist are the rules and regulations each is willing to accept as unlimiting
sprite is my icon showing canasta?
absolutely, ch! Good one :)
ok because o my computer it stils shows turtle
Hello, H
I see canasta
the essence is that only individuals can be responsible, not something like 'The State' or "The Government". As far as I know, a conservative anarchist will not accept any rules or regulations at all, while a liberal one accepts all as long as they don't pose a conflict with his own conscience.
Yaaay1 I love your ICon BR. My Mom likes to photograph poppies, is it a poppy or tulip.
ahhh tulip...
so anarchists want no part of communitarianism in the larger sense of preferring at times the good of the all to the good of the individual?
as I understood the Professor, the good of the all can come before the good of the individual, as long as the individual is free to choose to make it so
If the are three individuals and two agree, may they complell the third to comply?
no
for a liberal anarchist, it is ok if they try. But the third person is free to make up his own mind.
Aaarrrrugh, Dog who has been walked is being now barky and annoying will have to walk him again....whine, my legs hurt.
compliance is a matter of self-determination...you may be an outcast but you have a choice
come on red, if he is been walked, he will have to behave :)
so anarchy in essence is chaos
I believe that is true
in my opinion there's not much difference... but pol. sci. is not my forte...only VERY casual interest
I am very apolitical. Politicians are pro liars. That is probably why I like Heinlein's liberal anarchism as explained by the Professor.
shouldn't you be BABBLEPHILOSOPHER?
I SHOULDN'T be anything
lol
sorry,sprite, meant BR
hey jacq :)
nonconformity
hi clue on the ne 5 & 6 please
heya sprite interesting chog interesting views
exactly, grin. And I think Rabble is correct. Very good name :)
you're right sprite you should be what and who you choose...no one should dictate your heart to you.
hi roncook
sorry l ment na 5 &6
within the city I live in is an incorporated town ... some folks decided to try to save money by incorporating their properties ... spring flooding is a problem ... my city has spent large sums to protect its residents from flooding ... now the incorporated town in our midst is complaining that the flood protection does not protect them ... would an anarchist say, what ye sow, so shall ye reap?
if we put all the nonconformists in a boat and sailed them away this world would be a very dull place
hi sprite
always leery of too many social mores that hold people back
the world would be doomed. Without change, all will come to a standstill. So hail the nonconformists, rebels and freethinkers! :)
tou can't have your cake and eat it too...trite, but a propos
na6 jack toad
I have one na6 that rhymes with a thing to put your food on
na5 rhymes with garden door
BabbleRabble: I think a true anarchist would have done all he could for his community (of which he is a part), but would not do so because of some rule or law, but because he wants to.
hail the nutters too, because without them nobody would look normal
hello all bablers
ah, normal! Now that is something really crazy.
heya Chrissie
hi Chrissie
Thank you all
point of order...what's normal???
i agree to a certain extent with your view sprite, but are you thinking more of a social conscience?
we are all normal (based on our own experience)
normal is subjective .. if there are 100 here, there are 100 opinions on what is normal
I don't call myself a liberal anarchist! But I do like the Professor's POV. And he would probably say there is no such thing as a social conscience, a conscience is a personal thing.
<<< ab (solutely not) normal
old Quaker saying: "Everyone is queer but thee and me; and I'm not so sure about thee"...
nice quote Kate
did not realize Quakers were so humble
lol
normal means conform the norm. It is an average. Hence it may not reflect even one single person.
don't know why I remember that one, guess it must apply to odd ducks like me...
lol
scottish saying "There`s nought so queer as folk" !
ah ron, I love that one!
true saying that
the best...
but then the debates becomes what is the norm. if anarchists may self-determine, an average is of little use. subjectivity reigns
two words : bell curve
yes, that would be correct. Which is one of the things I like. Judging people according an average can't be right or respectful.
a bell curve is an objective tool that does not take into account the individual's right to disagree
surely we all self determine after all an anarchist is only someone who won't comply to their idea of the norm and even anarchists view others as anarchists
there would be no bell curve if there were no diversions from the norm.
but there are fuzzy parameters that most fall into
no deviations is highly unlikely
there is no absolute norm. people are not a series of numbers that can be quantified as a mathematical operation
heck, I deviate from my immutable principles
deviations. Thanks, I knew I had the wrong word.
again, subjective...norm varies from culture to culture.
lol you do! Human after all, hm?
no ones principles are absolute...ethics 101
the human factor is chaos on two legs you can predict several factors in anything but can never predict the human factor
chaos theory does na good job...
Asimov formulated laws that could predict the human factor, but only for people in huge quantities, never for the individual or small groups.
which, for those who know Asimov's books about the Foundation, makes it funny that Trantor is almost in the grid today...
Are you doing better today, sprite? How is the little lion?
am still in a lot of pain and legs won't cooperate. But Terra is doing much better! He ate almost normally, his eyes are back to normal and he walks pretty good. Not as much ... (word)... ducking through his hind legs anymore. Looks like keeping him from taxing his hips too much is having an effect!
Hope you find some relief, sprite.
thank you, BabbleRabble. I trust I will, in time. Am being good most of the time, rest a lot, so some reward should be due :)
helllo all
helllo all
hello all
hi periwinkle
what happened to your dog, sprite?
sprite i hope you get better soon
Hello, peri
sorry, just read the chog
thanks jacq :)
periwinkle: vet thinks there is too much room (?) in Terra's hips, and they are very painful. It might become a condition that is not unknown for this breed. It showed after he had a virus. If it doesn't improve, vet will take X-rays in about 6 weeks to see if something shows.
glucosamine sulphate helps also chondroitin and msm... you can get them together or separately in capsules or tablets...put in food...
takes a while for it to work but lots have had good results...also a liquid concentrate but expensive
what is hr k. c. cocker spaniel?
sorry to hear that about Terra, sprite
terra is a king charles cavalier spaniel
adorable pics...what's a chog?
peri, we take all precautions and I give him lots of reiki, and I am stubbornly positive we will get it right.
CHat lOG
d'oh
fireflies and bedtime. Thanks all for the good company.

Hi BR et al
I'll put a sparkler in yours
hi all (I keep drifting watching the clouds getting dark)
please rain please rain please rain please rain
mantra or prayer jm?
both with the ground as dry as it is here
*****\\\***\\\*** <== Rain for jmc ..
a house burned down last week because the water pressure was so low
.. . and it was in a rich neighborhood
it's raining here, hard, and the putor keeps messing up. Everytime the cables get wet, I lose connection
ty torg -- I hope it works
wow - and I thought we had problems jmc
we all have our share lynxxx
hi Tor
we're not getting much now either...but it was cool and wet all may,june july...could be worse we could be in B.C. or Cal.
I keep watering my garden but it is never the same so I have very little to put away
I have a flight out of WDC at 5 pm it can rain after that! LOL
er have you loooked outside joan?
I am willing for it to hold off to avoid delaying your flight -- or maybe it could just rain and then stop
the problem has been that it clouds up real good and then nothing. . .
evil teaser clouds...
belated thank you ... the telephone rings at the most inopportune times. See you in the a.m.
bye Merk
I see the clouds, but doesn't look too promising from the west side of the airport.
bye
are you at the airport now?
National?
I am JM.....
National it is.
they are rolling in from west virginia
sigh the cicadas are louder than the rain such as it is
hi everyone!
hi nrkii !
Heya nerky
I love the sound of cicadas and katydids
I've got 19 to go here
that right column S and the middle column T are causing me a little trouble
ooh found "mister" se5... I always miss that, and the one with the H in the middle
They're causing me trouble as well ..
18 to go... getting list... my eyes are burning
hi nrkii
I woke up at 5 am with the feeling that someone was squeezing the top of my head with a vice grip... possibly worst headache I've ever had... uck
I love the sound too nrkii byut it measn that yet again the rain is passing us by
oh, does it, jmc? do they get quiet when it's going to rain?
*sending healing waves nrkiis way*
no but they get quiet when it is actually raining!
oh okay, so maybe the rain will still come, jmc... I hope it does!
nope the sky is already beginning to clear joan will make her 5 pm flight
yay for joan! but not good for you jmc... sorry

how unfair is life that I still don't get rain and joan is delayed anyway? all I got was even more humidity
bye maddie. take care.
bye..
*sulking* *glasses fogged over*
o lord I need to go back to work -- this staying home all day is not for me
it was extremely humid this am in DC too cold in the
lounges...urgh!
hello all
at least you can babble!
hi peri!
nrkii, did you have your doctor's appt?
hi peri!!!
I love staying home all day. I have to admit. I am a lazee human.
yes, and it's the first time I've ever seen my surgeon CHEERFUL... I think it's because he got his braces off
I need something to occupy me or I eat eat eat
me too (lazy) red
help with last se6/18 pls
lol nrkii
ha! but importantly, what did the surgeon say?
what did he say/recommend/nrkii?
se + foot appendages, anagrammed
thanks nrkii
he said, "so you had a little setback... suck it up, keep exercising, and be patient"
be he actually said it much more nicely than that
he also said if it isn't hurting then there's no need for more surgery
oh, ok
at least no more surgery
which is a big relief
that's god though nrkii, isn't it?
good
sound like good news to me
it is very good... it was the first time I have left that office in a good mood
then I came home and got on the phone with NJ Unemployment, and my good mood got shot to hell
:)
:-(
Eeew, your shoulder is no longer hurting? thats good.
uh, oh, what did they have to say
it doesn't hurt bad, or constantly red
when I first aggravated it, it took a while for the pain and irritation to go away
Well that is good, but the unemployent offcie not so nice?
peri, they're just idiots... they don't know their own rules
it is hard to deal with idiots
if you do self-employment work, you are supposed to report it, but answer the question "did you work" with a NO (it gets reported on another line)
but on the phone, they were insisting I had to put YES in both places
so now, they think I messed up a few weeks ago, and haven't been reporting properly, so now they're holding up my $ until I have a phone interview with an examiner in 2 weeks
petty bureaucrats
oh, dear
I followed their rules explicitly in the online filing
oh no that is so unfair!
but yesterday I had to do it by phone, and that's what messed me up
the point is that if you work a few hours of self-employment, it's not supposed to count against your collecting unemployment... there's a whole formula they use, etc... so you have to report it a very specific way
the way they want me to do it, I might as well not do ANY work at all...
which is totally self-defeating, which is why their actual rules make more sense than their employees
clue for first en 7/28 please
and quoting the rules made no difference I suppose
en7 28 = to trap, or catch in a trap
jmc, she just told me I was wrong about the rules
and she talked to a supervisor or coworker and came back and told me again
did you have a cite?
a cite?
ty nrkii that gave me two words.
if there is a rule then there is a regulation or law that the rule comes from
btw ty nrkii
no, I just have the online form, if I can ever get back to it... I couldn't use it yesterday, which is what started the whole mess
I knew I was in trouble when the phone automated system asked me if I was sure I wanted to answer that way, after I said yes to self employment work
step into my office nrkii *pulls out chair*
they clearly don't want you to tell the truth
lol, jmc...
try calling your state legislature's office -- of4 they have a staff person who is an expert with these issues and can cut through the red tape
the other people to consider talking to is legal aid -- there are always 4 or 5 lawyers there who are experts on unemployment
well, we'll see what happens on the 31st... hopefully it will get cleared up and I can move on
*comes in just to give nrk a BIG (but gentle) hug and wanders out again* holding you in the light, my friend.
but I will do that jmc if I need to
if you can get by until the 31st then that is the best plan
thanks stid... actualy other than sudden dizziness, and memories of freaking unbelievable headache at 5am, I'm good
but it wouldn't hurt to talk to the legal aid lawyers prior to the interview so that you have your ducks *quack quack* in a row
hmmmm, good thought jmc, I will check into that
I just wish I had a screen shot of their online form!
*shining up supreme court bar certificate* no problem my dear
well check for the form or get a friend to check each day until you get the screen shot
Hi fellow babblers!
hello, thought this grid would give us a break today.:)

hello, Ms rowdy
NBT!...now i'm going to list!
sn5=trap
there is a list today, right?
yes I am already listing
jmc, that's not from the bottom S
really? I was sure it was -- o well
nope, cuz i already had that word :~)
bbl I am getting an vanilla pudding headache from the humidity
odd description. with that I am going to put turey burger in oven....
before someone asks that is a headache where it feels like your head is full of vanilla pudding
what an excuse!
last af6?
bobbing on water af6
that's not the last af6 jane
sorry
there is one, that means foot and moouth disease... but I dont have it.
no prob jane, thanks anyhow
I've got it but i am trying to work a clue for it foryou
when you get it red...don't spread it around
first 3 letters rear of ship
I mena not the word, or the disease!
Jmc are you still here?
lol, red
I had an odd QUaker link. for her...
Hi kids. Phaeton, on my recent drive to and from the Adirondack Mtns I saw an RV named "Phaeton" and thought of you.
last 4 letters is a breed of very large dog
kazzer, what are the last three letters?
Cool Scrabbler, what colors was it?
yes I am here -- if it is the dancing Meeting for Worship I have seen it
yes, it was inked up all over my high school friends on fb....
I was talking to my son who just got $175 in parking tickets
sigh
last 3 letters middle vowel plus abbreviation for large country bottom of large continent beginning with A home of nelson mandela
SSSSIIIGGGHHHH
I don't recall, phaeton, and what does "phaeton" mean anyway?
Oh golly jmc, how succky.
Oh, jm, not good
it was very popular on all the quaker elists
n
i can never remember
and our new te6 is stiffing us
What will you do, jm?
I really am thinking of losing it for a short moment
kazzer there is only one F in the grid...your clue confused me
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH HHHHH
Primal scream, jm...let it all out
ty jmc
I will drive down to NC and hire an attorney to kick her butt out
er why ty phae?
feel better???
lets try again - af plus 20th letter of the alphabet = rear of ship, the middle vowel of 5 vowels and then the initials of country where nelson mandela or apartheid was rife - any bette?
a little -- on the other hand my mil just wrote a $10k check for my sons tuition at GWU so who am I to complain
life is good *sniff*
oops 4th vowel of 5 vowels - cant count - do the same thing in sign language
TY Kazzer!
you do what in sign language kazz>
god knows what it is
Life IS good and we must remember to not sweat the small stuff. You son has to face the consequences
TY, kazz
he will but I was kinda hoping he would pay me back some of the money he owes me
Got it Kazzer! TY
one s at bottom is poison gas
it was an awful word to clue
Ben Bernacke wants to send me 25 mil...got an email today
I am still working *mutters* af plus. . . . . .
Nice, phaeton. I want that offer too.
I forward it to ya Scrabbler!
i had a similar one from a gentleman in Nigeria
And Liberia
jmc, try this: not the stern of ship, but af* + the initials of the 50 states country, except change the first initial to another vowel
af6...af plus go ** jail because it is **fer there than on the streets
thats a good clue ch1212
ooo 25 mil would solve a lot of my problems LOL
$25 million sure would make my life easier
me too! I hate it when they can't even use proper grammar or spell the words right so it would look legitimate
ty chch I was getting lost at the 20th letter -- obviously I need to count better
20th letter is the T
I could even just give it to the Center and then what with getting paid and everything
yw -- I give great thanks for Kazzer's clue, because otherwise I would still be lost :)
I know that now phae ;-) ty
I am so exhausted after sleeping so poorly last night.
so sorry scrab
ok, jmc...just trying to helpful (sniff)
Heat issues or something else, scrab?
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
I often do not sleep well on Monday nights after a return to work and having a busy, overstimulating day.
(she musta slept in her kayak)
didn't think I snapped I'm sorry
ouch!
It would be nice to sleep in my kayak while floating on a lake
is ok, jmc :)
ah, I understand. Hope you sleep blissfully tonight.
wouldn't you turn over and drown?
so I found the oddest thing in my mother's photos
These A words are terrible!
a bunch of photos of random people marked on the back: north of 36
what was it jmc?
Not on quiet water, but I would probably bump into the shore somewhere
north of what 36? route 36? parallel 36? or maybe it means older than 36!
that is weird jmc
they included a photo of railroad tracks and a depot that looked fake that said Abilene
Nephew (21) is leaving to have dinner with his gf who is going off to college tomorrow
clue for the first an7?
so my sister research and found a best seller from 1923 with the name north of 36 and then I found a movie from 1924 and it turns out one of the shooting locations was Houston, my home town
you slipping your nephew a $20?
Strange, jm
4 letter girls name plus ***s of the d*urbervilles
was your mother an actress?
so apparently these were photos of a 1924 movie
my first an7 is the old tv bunny
ty kazzer
lord no, my mother was a HS English teacher
TY, ch1212, that gave me 3 words
one before that ch1212
pl that twice ch1212 for two 8's
jmc, did she live near where it was filmed
I did but thanks :)
ty phae
good point, phaeton - she might have visited the set as an onlooker, or been an extra in a crowd scene
yw jmc
she did live in Houston in 1924 --she would have been 11
Rain has stopped and sun is out again. How weird to change so quickly.
I think her older sister or her sister's beau may have taken the photos
maybe someone else took the pics...like her mother or father..older brother or sister
but it had baffled me for some time and it was interesting to find out what the photos were
I wonder if Turner Classic Movies would buy them? ;-)
That's cool jmc!
i am really struggling with the s's but i an nearly finished them - only 6 to go and then 18 ts
wtg kazz
clue for either en7's?
en+trap
en 7 -- one in a race or event; or, plea

en + trick or?

Must go make salads for bunnies. BBL
bye scrabbler

hard to know wthout looking at it - derm is all visual
red, i'm not a doctor (or nurse) but I have had athlete's foot off and on since i was 8 years old - try some Tinactin on it and if it goes away, it was athlete's foot
Theres nothing on the foot. Maybe I shall get some of the over the counter stuff and try it.
have you tried an antifungal?
and yes, it can be confined to one area and not spread
oh, it just itches, but can't see anything?
JBV thats a good idea, I have not tried anything. TOmorro I shall go get something!
very very itchy...
and the sole of your foot is an odd place to scratch.
OK, thanks JBV, Now back to our regularly scheduled babbling.
unlikely to be athlete's foot or ring worm (both fungi and both treatbale with topical) without anything on the skin
I've earnt my earnt - pay it babble!
Maybe just tichy.
is something irrritating it? like rubbing when you run or something?
No, not that I can tell, have had varieties of shoes, just this week realized it has been that way for a long time. I really though you could have atheletes foot without seeing stuff...
well, maybe you just can't see it - should at minimal see microfissures and scaling, but you likely can't see the bottom of your foot all that well -
my recommendation - amputation
I can be irritating
without the topical treatment, athlete's foot itch just gets worse and worse, then cracking, etc...
or you can take JBV's advice and give a trial of antifungal
*sprays antifungal all over ru*
Hi RU!
good luck finishing, redT .. time to vamose
Actually I can bend up my foot and see it very well. I can still put the foot behind my head too, but it gets a bit stuck there.
Bye BR, I only have 2 left.
only ones left here are those who can tolerate a fungal chat
I tried to return us to regular scheduled babbling.
may I introduce a new topic?
hmmmm
please!
red - i think aromatherapy should do the trick
I have been having a most intense reading experience -
decided to finally get around to War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
there's a fungus among us. hi, folks!
yes welk - it's called ruru
an4 after the water buffalo?
wow jbv, how much do you cover a day??
one of those things i've always thought I should have read but never did - and I can't believe i have lived this long without knowing it
yay jbv!
i aim for about 25 pages a day, i'm almost there -
Yay fireworks...
I feel as if I am living in the 19th century
yayayay red
Is it heavy? I think I was supposd to read it one summer, but only read bits and pieces...sorry but was 15....
i need to get dressed - brb
it's so powerful in so many ways - as a story, the characters are so real, but it's also history/politics/commentary - all in one -
in a way, I think i'm glad i waited til now, 15 years is definitely too young, you have to know about living and dying to know what a genius Tolstoy was
you have been naked here? kje?
as a matter of fact, yes i was.... was chillin after the bath
woooo eee
I would agree, I also had to try to analyze Hamlet that year, uggh.
I am so easy to impress
Ok, I imagine its not the first time that anyone has been neekkid in here....
and with that and my fungus problem discussion I shall bow out. Good night all!!!
ahhhh ... memories of beowulf and the miller's tale
had to shower when i got home....
bye red
the valet brought me my car and the seat was wet... I asked him what hahppened and he said he had been sweating running for the cars in the heat...
ewww!
ughhhh
so when I sat down, it just soaked through my shirt and pants.... ugh... so i came home and stripped as soon as I got in the door, then jumped in the bath
I'm a little afraid tomorrow that the car will smell, and it will be like that seinfeld episode with the BO
ohhh that's pretty icky. understandable, but icky. kid should carry a towel to sit on ... a BIG FAT ABSORBENT with a waterproof barrier towel!
leather seats?
*** gives kje some deoderant to rool on her seats ***
no
rooling deoderant on seats

"post a letter"+ um...
seaindid you have those awesome storms earlier tonight?
hi TK!
hey dawg+
not here in the reston/herndon area
bad clue try..posted a letter+(um...)
i sat int he parking lot of the new toney shopping center on rte 2 and watched - it was awesome, lightening bols all over
neat, TO
i love watching electrical storms.
we had one like that about 8 weeks ago. It was scary
scary to point i regretted leaving work in it.
I love Maxine, Dawg..
i couldn't see the end of my car through the rain, and the lightning was ALL around at ground level.
driving in them is not fun.
i was in bertuccis. i was forced to saty and have dessert. that storm cost me tomorrow's calorie allotment
ah, well, that'll happen sometimes, TO
lol, TO
Glad to share her with you, TK
not worth it. the prices they charge for dessert are ridiculous. except for what i had at jaleo
but was it chocklit?
it was. bittersweet.
Jaleo is a happy :)
ooo
that semolina cake...i would kiss the pastry chef
yummm
<DROOL>
afunny thing at first i liked it but then it reminded me of a hostess cupcake without the cream
OMG I can see it's gonna be another snack night...
the bertucii choco cake i mean
i need to clean my tent.
oops
tell us about the cake TO
PB, DC
never liked the cupcakes but oh, those HOHOs...
chocodiles. love those chocodiles
chocodile? What's that?
i've lived a deprived life, don't know hoho's or chocodiles.
oh yah baby talk chocolate to me you tempter...
ugh.. I used to make hoho's
don't know HOHOs??? you live under a rock?
but i am fond of the orange cupcakes. hdawg chocodiles are choco dipped twinkies
ruru you've really lived...
*looks out from under rock...* uhm yes. ;0
no she does not live int he northeast
i never likied twinkies
or many of the Hostess products, really
i lived on them in high school
Tastykake is so superior
good for you DC.. there are awful ingredients in them
Mom's first husband was a baker, we had all sorts of lovely pastries, didn't have store bought stuff til much later in life.
i like the snowballs
HOHO: choc.cake white cream swiss roll dipped in choc. wrapped in tinfoil
hey ren!
hey owl!!
Moon Pies - those i love. grew up with them, and still think they're the bomb :)
with rc?
RC all the way, baby!
don't they make a mini moon pie now?
we all have our vices...
those the ones with marshmalllow cream between two chocolate covered graham cookies, DC?
i've heard tell of them, ren, but i've not seen them.
and banana creme moon pies
yes, those, dawg :)
do they still make the banana creme ones?
those sound good dawg
i think i've only had one moon pie in my life. don't like marshmallow creme. way too sweet
I have been mooned but not with pies
I miss hawaiian punch (fruit juicy red) only junk we were allowed as kids...so deprived...sniff
moon pie marshmallow is not at all like marshmallow creme, it's thicker than that, but it is sweet
i used to love the krispy creme coconut pies back when they still made filled fruit pies
oh, it's raining
not a real sweet tooth. like subtle flavors.
krispy cremes are like crack
a lot of those creams are sickly sweet.
i hate the krispy kreme plain frosted.
i've had two krispy kremes...picked the glaze off both of them.
don't get the KK hype
we only had KK til i was 9
love krispy kremes...all flavors
you have to wait for them to come out of the oven...
DD's are not as good, though i live the DD cruellers
how did you get along before then dc
saw a news story today about someone selling bacon on a stick at midwest state fair...dipped in heshey's syrup
KK chocolate covered cake warm from the back - yum
like DD...lots of choices
hate kk d onuts
KK used to deliver back then, and they made orange-glazed cruellers back then.
sorry, TO, but that sounds disgusting
that bacon thing sounds disgusting TO
i'm a fan of Tim Horton's donuts, too
sure does. ack.
ruru, try the Vosges bacon bar
vodoo donuts makes maple galzed bacon donuts
choc. bacon made it up here too on Business news channel..
orange glazed - totally yum
dc - you know timmy's...our national icon...
it did look ddisgusting. i mean hershey's syrup.....gack
yes, i grew up with timmy's and snow white too, thanks to family in Montreal and Cleveland
so is this choc dipped bacon any good? did the report say?
i just came home from a fantastic dinner with bread pudding, caramel ice cream and real whipped cream.. reading your descriptions of desserts and not one bit jealous... this was so good!
Food Again>>> lol

congrats, stid
I am totally DUN. and stidkid #2 says I spelled "wurd" incorrectly, but we ALL know what I meant!
wurd up stidmama!!!!!!!!! ya spells it like ya hears it.
I guess you spelled wurd correctly it was the word that was the problem
yup. 'cause we all know it wasn't a real "word" rofl... at least not found by webster's.
Science Today reported a new procedure for those suffering from migraines that looks very promising, stid
amputation of the head, perhaps? or something less drastic?
a surgical procedure that severs a nerve, I think
because I am having a truly awful time with this one, and had forgotten how bad they were before I had the medicine that helps.
doesn't comp. screen make it worse?
hm. I will have to look at that one, the trigeminal nerve, I presume, since it is one of the ones implicated in migraines.
sometimes Kate -- but in this case it's an LED screen so no flicker and it's okay on "dim" setting.
help with my last one pls? Se5 after mailed
add a vowel, gort
okay, just thought the glare would aggrivate it maybe light sunglasses or does pressure make it worse?
thanks bab
se 5: add a vowel.
thanks stid
congrats, gortmold
can sleep now
yes, it can. I have been known to babble from a completely dark room wearing sunglasses and having the screen as dim as it goes. But I am NOT addicated! *defiant mama look*
YAY gort!
and this one is five days old so the photophobia is diminished and I am merely fuzzy, nauseous and tired...
hope the sandman is kind
sweet dreams gort
omg - 1st time i've completed a grid in a year or so....and stid is not addicted
of course you're not <she said in a soothing voice>
hellish, stid
YAY REN!!!!!
rofl KATE!
translate??
kate has got the to4 just right
congrats, ren

roll on floor laffing kate
omg = Oh My G-D; rofl = rolling on the floor laughing
hmmm 196 words and 40 mins think I can do it? rofl

for sure, meliae, with time to spare
d'oh told you i was new...spend half my time figurin' out acronyms
((HUGS)) to all here I go!
my favorite acronym is h
hope it is banished soon...perhaps you could give it a stidmama glare to scare it away?
h?
just h
*stern mama look* *looks around* did it work?
yes,yes it's going...
i can frrl it quaking in abject terror from here
*grin* how many more do you need, Kate?
i mean feel
woot! I fireworked! :D
YAY rbud!
Congrats, Rose
gawd, stid too many...63
tyops R su, kate!
*waits to see if Kate can figure that one out*
did you make that one up? I don't know it, either. Hmmm...
rose??? LOL I can't believe I never figured that out before!
thanh you *** are**
typos are us
other peoples?
(what BR said)
you'll get a lot of those from me..need to trim nails too.
we also refer to "typoese" -- we all miss the key and hit the one next to what we wanted sometimes
op's! hey, I recall that from back in the day...if you bummed a ciggie it was called "smoking op's" - other peoples'.
I now have ice on top of my head and it's actually working! my tom is the GREATEST! (next to BR, of course)
i met a lady who had 2" nails...we talked about them for about an hour
been there done that got the t-shirt.
gee golly, ren! I can't even imagine living with nails like that!
consider it an oportunity to brush up on my typing clsased from 30 years ago,,
classes...
i couldn't either - that's why i had to ask questions
old manual ones..not even electric..they always skipped if you didn't hit the keys hard enough. jthen they marked you down for the mistake
I had some two inch nails .. used them for a birdhouse
I was glad to get the word processor when I went off to college, but I still miss the very tactile REAL keyboard
LOL BR!
hahahah rab
so penguins live in bird houses BR?
*gasp* oh KATE! that is funny!
miss the feel of the old electric i had..
I have the occasional zinger don't be expecting too much though
trying to teach them to fly
I'm sure you'll succeed. you're very patient
sitting here watching the wurds of wisdom in the chog
could be sitting there a long time, ren
I love coming in and reading back to see what the lay of the land is
How self involved do you have to be to talk about your own 2" nails for an hour...wasn't sanything else happening in the world?
Kate- nice to see you are taking a liking to us
Hello DR you're a fine bunch of puzzlers
there were a lot of questions kate....and i have an over active imagination
dumb Q # 231...is this a chat room or is that something else?
long nails and the problems encountered...I can see where that might go...ren
I am flummoxed by that question ... will need to ponder
i can sit for hours on these meds rab.....well actually sitting on my backside - thought i should say it afore you did
mine aren't that long btw (see i know one) just working on a lap top so keys are lower/closer i think
sorry all, I drifted off. DR, will hubby be okay?
you got me chuckling, ren
he has a respitory infection.. he will be ok
thanks for asking
and a real chat room is just chat -- no games
okay DR, then I won't worry.
he isa bit of a whiner when he is sick
I made him go to Doctor
me too DR. i think the whole WORLD knows about my migraine. And did I mention the virus that took the opportunity to beat me while I was down?
he is? I don't whine to my full potential unless well
LOL
good for you DR.
sounds like what I had Stid- I had a migraine for days!
did you ever try imitrx stid? they have it w/ an injection as well
hmmm does the so 8 have anything to do with the word before it?
He just kicked me to th ecouch for th enight... " so you wont get sick"
* the couch
100 down 96 to go lol
I usually have something like that, but was ran out and with the meeting last week couldn't make it to the doc to get a refill. And of course the migraine started when I was halfway up Mt. Rainier on friday
i wondered where he kicked you dr
go mel go!
how THOUGHTFUL she sneered
that would be the tush Ren
hm. men. *irritated mama look*
sorry about your migraine, DR. ((gentle hugs))
so 8 -- the quality of being gentle to the touch
BR is of course exempted from that last remark
its ok.. just means I will babble until I fall asleep
i have a new vera wang day bed and my cats have taken it away from me
I cant keep up Stid- The migraine is better Stid.. wish yous was
okay, it's late and I need to get the stuff off the bed before I can lie down for real. I put all kinds of stuff on the bed to sort through it and then that's as far as it went.
be well, stid
like, a DESIGNER bed, ren? WOWOW. *and I forgot to ask about the Mezz*
i'll send my cats to your house stid - you can sort them out for me
take care Stid
*gives everyone hugs and leaves BIG plate of choclit cookies behind for everyone*
next month stid! 9/21 knee surgery woo hoo!!!
thanks for the conversation and see you-all again soon. I have no plans to leave the house tomorrow unless I have to.
Heyas kids ..
