carol -- the tiles are under the grid unless you've been here for more than 2 weeks without "going pro"
you know you love it Jai...or do you just come for the spectacular company?
omg, ruru -- I haven't even started yet!
tile stats: first number = the number of words you find of the second number (number of words available for that tile)
well done ru!
I come to see if I can remember to move my cursor after I talk!
ruru - haha im like 9 down :P

thanks jilli
have fun and happy babbling....
nothing wrong with a well stocked bar jilli
wet bar, jilli? ;) nite, DR!
i like your icon jilli
a/b a= # of words that start with that tile that you found b= total # of words that start with thatr tile...
well, was thinking of a couple of decks of cards for bridge, flosey, but maybe I'll stick with drowning my sorrows after all.
kate - yeah, but when ppl say nbt that means no a=0 (following your example :D ) ??
note i said tile not letter....tile stats shows each tile in it's place in grid....above is total words for whole grid...231 today

Jilli, and flosey! :)
hey there JC
did you get my email?
Yes, flosey - thank you. :) Did you get mine - the invitation to connect on Yahoo? ;)
not yet, I'll check
OK, it should be there - it was sent a little wile ago.
morning all - wonderfull weather here absolutely chucking it down
hi Kazz
yuk, yes got 33 more emails - gotta get off that list!
yes got it JC, wish I hadn't used that address though will use a different one, ok
flosey, get them all in a lump -- you can skim them and delete
hi JC (was out of here for a bit)
good morning babble friends! and greetings from insomnia, population 1
good morning babble friends! and greetings from insomnia, population 1
will talk to you about that jilli, no time now, must get 2 more words - leave 40 for morning, going off island tomorrow
hi Trif
hi trif
hi trif and kazz
Hello, Trif! :)
And Jilli - again. ;)
hello all!
well done, dlosey -- I still have 84 left -- not with it tonight
Better than my 195 I have left, Jilli. :P
dosey might be better jilli
that was flosey -- maybe dosey now, like me
JC, are you ever going to post a photo of your beloved? Have seen plenty of snaps of the pets, but not him!
yes jilli, really dosey and still looking for 2 more words
got them, 40 for tomorrow morning
wtg flosey-not-dosey!
going to Vic tomorrow jilli, we're taking a friend to lunch, plus several errands
trif -- that's a fascinating poem in your profile. It would flow more smoothly if you could just get rid of the curly quotation marks and things -- just retype them in your profile or copy into wordpad if you use a PC
flosey, where is Vic?
Victoria Trif
Vic is Victoria BC, Trif
Perhaps, Trif . . .
thanks jili. I will try that! I need to read it again anyway
Oh, OK flosey - just send another e-mail from that one, then?
And where is Norwell, Trif?
ew, ick --- right you are! how did I not notice how irritating those are?
about 25 minutes south of boston.
lol, trif!
you're up late, then, Trif!
morning all..
it's such a great location - 25 mins to the city, 1 hour from mountains, (with skiing in the winter), 15 minutes from amazing beaches, and quite rural in character.
hi rodin
sounds wonderful, Trif.
can't sleep again, jili....it's happening a lot this summer. dread
I mean rolin (I'm sleepified)
well ive found one 8 all by myself..still looking for the other 2
resang should be a word.....weird
s'ok jilli... i cam pretend im a painter if you need me to..lol..course the dead part is a bit trickier
sculptor, rolin?
will do late tomorrow JC (just reading back, took a minute to read Trif's poem - very good one Trif
2 of the 8s are very similar -- I don't have the 3rd
possibly???...lol.... can i claim early morning like you claim late night?
thanks flosey. theresa is a lovely, lovely person, and almost all her poems are that good. she is so great
deal, rolin ;)
thanks Trif, must look her up
*whispering*... of course its actually nearly 8:15 and im about to go to work....so my claim is a little less kosher than yours
I'm off to bed, hopefully finish this grid tomorrow before running to catch the 9:50 ferry
and indeed it is time for me to get to work... have fun all..
okay, I fixed the poem. largely by getting rid of contractions, and taking out apostrophes. This will please those who hate those little squiggles (and I count myself in that number) but horrify those who are usually strict with apostrophe use (again --- me!)
much better, but you could still use straight apostrophes if they're in the original
night again flosey -- have a lovely day tomorrow
hmmmm. I will check that out, but not at 3 am. god himself only knows what I would stick in there!
Morning/evening jilli and Trif and all
hello fm!
hello FM -- nice to see you although I'm ready for beddy
Grat poem Trif and love the pics in your bio too.
*Great even! *sigh*
hi FM
Thought I would pop in and say hello before you headed to bed jilli. Hey lynxxx :)
thank you so much, fmitch!
Primo in his prom gear - you must be so proud!
and as for the kittens ... awe :)
thanks, FM -- and now I must go -- happy babbling, all....*poof*
i really, really am. okay, getting pretty sleepy now, might try to grab some more sleep before the forest chorus revs up.
Sweet dreams jilli.
goodnite Jilli
bye Trif
Bye Trif

Hi all, just checking my PBicon before I head out, can you see the roayl coffeemaker???
Red not sure if you are still here but wow - the PB sure could use one of those!! Guess I will have to start making notes for the revamped PB
Na7? yes, I cannot sleep...
<help>?
G'd morning Babblers!
Hi Lori!!
Can't help you yet jai
Hies all
FM Mine Love! How's this grid, or shouldn't I ask....
HAve only just dived in so cant say
Mornin' Worquey
and bang on queue the phone rings ... :(
Pretend you're an answering machine!
there must be a beacon somewhere that says FM is babbling so lets phone her.
***Please leave a message after the beep***
Stupid cold call - do I need double glazing - NO!
Morning all. Jal, na7: na* short for grandmother, plus **a** Ross
Whats the best ansaphone message you have ever heard?
lol, you should have said yes, and gave 'em Ata Hari's address.... :p
FM the telephone preference scheme stops a lot of them.
LOL Lori - that would have been fun - how many windows in a Oast House.
:) Mornin' Sally!
Ata would only be mildly miffed....
Yup Sally - and I have opted out under the TPS but it doesn't cover call centres outside of the UK.
Got it,Sally! TY!
Jal did you get the clue for the na7?
good!
FM, we have recently paid for anonymous call rejection, and hardly ever get a cold call now. Worth the money
There was a bill product on Dragons Den recently which I really hope they will launch. Screens calls and aslo give the option to reject calls and tell the caller that their call will no longer be accpeted.
Word between utterly important and important di4-7?
di4-6
Okay now, seriously. It is not even conceivable that there are 11 g's. Nuh uh.
<smug> lori
Very nice Ata impression Sally. :D
G = for Gah!!!
I'll trade my 11 g's for an answer...
lol lori
G is for words that would cost us our family friendly rating if I typed them in to chat....
Jal, have you the di 4/6 which is what you might serve on?
Haven't all the di words yet so don't know if there's another
G is horrid I can see already but as I am still working backwards the g is not a prob right now.
I found my missing D....TY!
Now I have a missing "A" from the top right "A"...
and I also have to *poof* for a while. Lori - is yr email working?
hey
Yah, it works harder than I do! Should I be checking it once in awhile/???? :p
HAve emailed you a couple of times recently
Anyway must be off. TTFN
***stammers something about being anti social and lazy.....**** Will get right on that! Honest!
See ya' in the space time continuum mine love!
Bunned is too a word! My hot dog was bunned when I added the ketchup.
Good morning Babblers :)
Lori I totally agree.... my hot dogs are always bunned
lol Mornin' Nono.
missing an u 5 and 6 to finish the grid.
WB FM. Go go go!
FM: not over but un5
I'll hit with the fish shall I
Ta Lori but am so stuck
Oh for heavens sake got the 5 thanks Sally
:-)
and the last u 6 would be .....?
A water nymph, I think
the singular of the a 7
Gah!!! cant see if for looking but will find it in the end.
But, but, if you have the un 6/24 then plural it!
It s the 6 I am looking for.
un 7 -- without clothes
I am missing 1 word - na 7/32 - can anyone help so I can go and feed my family?
So you need the 6 and 7?
just the 6 Sally - my last word
nandine
FM: UN 6/24: un + eat
sorry - wrong anyway
change the last vowel, anike
TY BR - fireworks now
congrats, anike
Congrats anike
TY - my family will be grateful that I can now concentrate on dinner
Congratulations anike. .....and for FM?
shh nope still stuck.
***sits vewwwy, vewwwy qwietwee***
See you tomorrow
Gonna take a break and come back.
FM: which un do you need? There's an un 6/24 which has a plural n 7/36, and another un 7/36
there is only one u 6 in the grid if it is your last word you have a u 7 that is a plural --- take the s off
Bye anike. Laters FM!
Ahh thank you BR - that is me done.
Fish greatefuly recieved :)
wtg FM!
congrats
***snickering uproariously*** Congratulations FM!
**stick tongue out at Lori** I did make hard work out of that last word!
lolol, don't ya' just hate that? The hazards of Babble.....
(()) Byeee
***pouts, pretends to udnerstand*** Later gator!
byeee FM
Good afternoon all........oh I have missed FM
Is there a French speaker in the room please.
oui?
:-D
Then if I give you a sentance can you put it into French please
i'll do my best :-)
To Jack, Good luck in your new school.I Hope this dictionary will help you for many years to come. (thanks Une)
Have i killed the chat ? ;)
good morning all

hi Wolvie
Cher Jack, Bonne chance à la nouvelle école. J'espère que ce dictionnaire vous vous servira longtemps dans vos études.
Hi Wolvie
sorry -- had to find accents to copy!
Oh thank you Une
you're welcome!
I used "vous" -- or is this someone you're close to? if so, let's change it to the familiar form
Yes a grandson
ok, wait a sec for correct version!
Cher Jack, Bonne chance à la nouvelle école. J'espère que ce dictionnaire te servira longtemps avec tes études.
merci
You realise he'll be coming to you for help with French, caitlyn? Hello to all!
hi haz
hi Haz
hi, haz and wolvie and nono :-)
hey une
Hi Haz, I used to be okay with French, but now the older granddaughters are leaving me behind LOL
Oh, I'm sure you can hold up fine. How are you?
Im grabbing 5 mins , dont tell anyone, or they will find things for me to do !LOL How are you ?
I'm well - horrendous rain yesterday but the sun has come out today so that's always something to cheer about. We'll talk in whispers and then they won't know you're otherwise engaged.
LOL
Are you still babbbling mostly early mornings?
Yes its the only chance some days that I have.The only trouble with that is sometimes I would love to join in the chat, but if I do I would never finish.!!
I know, sometimes time is the enemy. Dachef popped up the other day, long tme since he had spoken up.
Oh I havent seen him for ages
Morning all. Haz, went on a day trip to Giant's Causeway etc. yesterday.......go on, laugh. We got thoroughly soaked.!
hi liz
He seemed to be in good form.
hi Liz
Hi liz
Hi!
The Giant's Causeway yesterday? Dear goodness, what a day to choose.
Hi jaianniah
must go fix breakfast bbl
Liz, that rain carried on through the night, it stopped about two hours ago.
hi Jai
Hello jaianniah.
Hi wolvie
Afraid the day chose us. Same here, Haz.
I am missing an na 4 from the 1st n. Plez help!
And hello to all my olde friends!
hey, jaianniah :-)
What else did you visit? Anything dry and indoors?
first n? as in the one that has 10 words?
Hey!
Yes!
No- one that has 5
do you have the Indian bread and the grandmas?
Nope. Rope bridge (even wetter) Also a power cut at time so not even a cup of tea and a browse round the gift shop for respite.
The 4 letter na from that word are grandmums
Indian bread?
the only one I have from that one is na 4 grandma
with double vowel in middle
Oh liz what a day
indian bread comes from the n with only 2
I have grammie
or 5. lol
there is a 4/6
On behalf of Northern Ireland, I apologise for the weather. Rope bridge is my idea of torture.
plural indian bread comes from the 2 one
have that one, too
and plural girls name, na 4 comes from that one as well
just tossing out na's LOL
You should just have gone to Bushmills Inn and stayed there beside the fire.
lol it is tough - I HATE when someone makes me think about which one grayed what tile
there is a 7/32 from that N
I let my hero/husband/pet idiot cross the bridge, I cheered on the sidelines.
Did not have pl. girl, but need one from that rt. hand N
morning all
good afternoon everyone
afternoon rather
Got that
the na7 is a shrub
I have done that dedication thanks for your help Une :)
hi kallia and jac
Good afternoon Kallia.
hmm - will look for that kallia
hey, jacy and Kallia
Hi jac and Kallia
oh! ty une
heya kallia is it wet and windy with you too?
*jacq
heya caitlyn, wilvie, Une, haz et al
yes, but I'm in Hampshire
so all over the country lol
must take pups out to pee -- BRB
ahhhhhhhh
Hello jacq - rain abated here for a while.
am trying expert for the first time
But I am a Scot :)
it's off here for now but it was lashing down earlier
Strange light coming in the window...aliens? OOh, now I remember, it's the SUN, I'm off out to top up my vit.D.
bye Liz hb
bye Liz
make the most of it!
Bye liz - any sighting of tall ships at all?
bye liz
LOL liz I saw it earlier but it has gone to you now, enjoy
will be short but sweet
ohhhhhhhh maybe it will come here too
it's supposed to be here this afternoon....we shall see
We did go to Portpatrick to look, just not quite clear enough to spot any ships, unfortunately.
Its time the south coast shared it with the rest of the UK
That's a shame - BBC NI did a nice round up of them sailing away, it looked spectacular.
well I'm not on the coast...not far but we really haven't had brilliant weather...just 2 days of it
I'm off, byee.
saw the tall ships in Boston a few years ago - VERY nice
Bye liz
bye liz
They were in Belfast as their last port of call in the Atlantic Challenge - it caused quite a stir.
Its a wonderful sight
I know. The Belfast Stranraer ferry just doesn't cut it beside them.
LOL
lol
good morninga''
Oh I dont believe it, the sun came out and looked promising so I pegged to bedding out, guess what its doing now!!
hi boo
Good morning Boo.
Morning Boo
Something tells me it's raining, caitlyn?
Yup
I should go on the stage or something, my psychic powers are extraordinary.
lol Haz
I just dont know how you do it Haz
Somebody's got to be smug in Ata's absence.
How is Ata I havent seen her in ages either
She's still deported to the States. Negotiations are under way to get her back in again.
Has she been in contact at all? How much ransom do you think they want this time?
ci 7/32?
what are the conditions for return? ;-)
She's been in contact sporadically.
Rain!
Oh dear what a pity (giggle)
deported?
hi lynn - I only have a ci 7/36 so far
hi wolve ok
rain is the condition, or the condition at your abode? ;-)
ata was deported???
she was a bad gurl?
My long distance psychic abilities seem to be better tuned than close to home. Had to rescue laundry.
Use the 1st three letters of the first ci 4/5 and add a point of the compass
Mine will have to be spun again
Ata refused to stop stalking John Barrowman.
LOL
Ha!
LOL seriously??
If she accepts hypnotherapy to rid her of her obsession there may be hope of getting her back.
LOL
no
She has tried that before hasnt she Haz?
lol
She has, but maybe this time it will work.
one can but hope, eh?
What about the electric shock treatment they were going to try?
That's the next stage, caitlyn.
poor ata! what really happened?
I've always thought aversion therapy should be tried. Surely if she saw and heard him singing it would help?
What really happened? You mean you have doubts about our story, jacq?
lol yes
I'm shocked.
lol - no way, how could she haz
I shouldn't be, I should have foreseen it with those psychic powers.
jac havent you heard about the way she stalks him?
she always seemed too sane to have issues, well other than being addicted to abbble
The story she's telling, jacq, is that she's on holiday.
ahhhhh
you must be low on java or tea haz
been away for a while huh?
But we know the truth.
All sense goes out of the window when she is on JBs trail
LOL
almost half way
na 7/32 - any clues please
to being there yourself jac? ;-)
sorry gran don't have it yet
I know - she trailed him to an appearance at a huge shopping centre. I think that's when he got worried.

Hey Scrabs!
I am fine, going for my mamogram today, oh joy :-)
Trying to wake up and get motivated for work.
plural of womans name less one consonant
good luck peri
hi peri - good luck
heya scrabs
thanks jacq
I had mine a few months ago, Peri. The big squeeze.
:) peri
hate mamograms, so uncomfortable
But I feel such relief upon departing, having been told that the girls look healthy
have to admit I have never had one.
i usually have to go back to the surgeon and that's scary
brb smoke break again
take a slam-o-gram over a colonoscopy any day of the week
me neither FM
an4.4 usually has eed on the end
hi jean - haven't had the other either
I went through that, jacq--turned out fine, but it IS quite scary to endure
but the colonoscopy doe not hurt, alto the prep is not nice
it's an unparallelled delight wolvie
lol - I will remember that.
With turning 50 in a few wks I will get to have my first colonoscopy soon
I do love the sedation tho
me too, EJ
I hope I am adequately sedated
ewww am not going to go for any of that.
it's no wonder michael jackson liked it
FM - they do virtuals now I have heard
My friend and I will try to have our colonoscopies done on the same day by the same doc---we will chronicle the adventure for our other friends
oh jean - come on. ;-)
twitter your colon? RoFl
not getting the bottom A :(
lol
I will live as well as I can but bu***r the tests.
well Katie Couric filmed hers, didn't she
can't wait to see the typo's for that!!
How appropriate that se5 is in the grid--a colon-blow product
NM found one of the A's
have had four lumpectomies, it gets scarier with each one because i feel it is narrowing the odds
Twitter my colonoscopy? Great id4, Wolvie.
lol scrab
oh jac - I would guess that is scary.
I can see this becoming the next "Reality Show"
going to hve breakfast and be on my way, back later
Jacq, have results always been benign?
LOL - scrab, that would be funny - put me on your list
bye peri
always thankfully but when they do the needle biopsy and say they aren't sure and they will schedule an op i just go really calm for some reason
colonreality - coming soon on FOX no doubt
I do not have a Twitter account yet. I try to resist "trends" as long as possible. But I may do it for my procedure!
lol scrabbler
I do twitter, but not facebook or myspace
I do FB for games mostly and to communicate with many people at once. But I dislike so much of the FB world.
I remember when Lickety mentioned Twitter at leat 2 years ago. and we all poo poo'd it at that time.
i signed on, have an account, but never go there - i will look for the games tho - anyone in particular you like best
well, if you see wolvie411 on twitter, that is me
f's done finally
jac - you are so much better than me - less chat, more grid. ;-)
Wolvie, I play Lexulous + Scrabble.
am taking the chance, daughter and grand-daughter are both asleep, it's quiet
ty scrab - i will look for those.
I hear you jac. :-)
I found an4, LOL--fitting with talk of colonoscopy
the girls name minus a consonant scrab?
Coffee refill needed. Anybody want some?
different vowel wolvie
ohhhhhhh coffee, yes please!!
oh - lol - have that one too
java here please
yes please scrabs..little sugar with milk please :-)

Doren, my partner will be annoyed at me, but it is not worth my time and effort.
Thanks Nono
the other sounds like a transgression + a direction (north, south etc)
no sc, not if you expect the baby is doing well, and nurses can tell you that, right?
hi phaeton
Yes, I called the newborn nursery. If I went today it is to save my partner time for tomorrow or Saturday.

I resigned June 1st and there is a 120-day notice. He is searching for a replacement but his reputation will be an obstacle.
he will never really be able to replace you, will he?
Please help me with my last word: Ne 7/36.
not to wish anyone ill, but - he created his problem , so he'll just have to deal
when I see vowel words, I just go blind

yw dorens
Well, the position is replaceable, but the parents that are attached to me will either follow me (many have stated so to me) or switch practices (many those with too long of a drive to my new practice have cried and said that they stay at the practice to see me only). Some parents that are following me will be driving 30-45 min and I feel so humbled that these parents WANT to follow me.

"Morning All. How's the grid today? (not that it matters much; I already started just now)
Hiya, Nef. Not too bad so far. I'm starting to slow down at 90.
Thanks Judi. I haven't seen you around much recently Judi. Is this your usual time here; or is it just because I'm here at an unusual
time
I'm usually here in the a.m., Nef. Not on yesterday because we went to the beach.
And sometimes... I just lurk.

Hi, Katie. I won't tell yours if you won't tell mine!

Well yes. Getting up at 4:30 a.m. is uncivilized. Guzzle that coffee.
I AM haveing troubles keyboarding today, aren't I? That should have been Hi Boo

It was easy being up at 4:30 when I was up all night; not so easy now

before i got your clue i thought i was stuck with the grandmothers
What is the difference between a bug and an insect?
I don't know, BR, what is it?
a bug is something you squash against the wall?
ticking off the timer until the bada bing..:-)
a bug might be a spider, which is not an insect- also, butterflies and grasshoppers etc.
LOL!
they all squash the same, then you run like the clappers screaming like a girl and flapping your hands
we call virus's etc bugs here
lol jacq
http://tinyurl.com/kwdy5c

Problem is, you cannot squash them all or we would perish from the earth.....
true, but i can squash any in my bedroom lol
It has been overcast and drizzling here .. Air Force jets have been on maneuvers flying so low that the pictures on my wall vibrate .. just had a fly by though a rainbow
wow
flat earth will do that for you BR :-)
Where are u, BR? It is hot and drizzly here, too
we're on the way out anyway jai, once the bees go we have about 7 years
My residence is in North Dakota, jaianniah ... on hiatus in
I can jst see us all with little paintbrushes, pollinating our flowers and trees...
they already do that in vast areas of china
ooh - do you see the northern lights there BR?
Antarctica
I live by Keesler near Biloxi- Katrinaland

lol jaia
but Gracie gave me as7.32 - Thankyou
no one wants to look at my astag!
Is the upper d word normal?
I never said I was in Antarctica! I said I was in Katrinaland! Where that Hurricane hit my house and reduced it to a tent????
I am in extreme denial, jaianniah, just outside of Cairo
pretty much tor - d plus sleep, say
THERE is the groaner. :-)
sort of Tor, been in before, put clothes on
Good God!
dr 5 + with clothes on
sorry I misunderstood -- my neice finally gave up on NO after many years of fighting in -what is it? Ward 3?
Ward 1?
Thanx wolvie
yw
so much clearer BR ty
Nope....Gulf Coast by Biloxi...little known fact that 28 feet of water hit Biloxi from two sides
No I have family in Biloxi as a matter of fact so I was aware of that as well
but you are getting the great hordes of dogooders to clean and fix are you?
You do? Are they as worried as I am about September?
They are as are my family in Galveston who lost a 100 year pecan tree to lightening last month after surviving Ike
No dogooders came and helped us...my husband carried two tons of roofing tiles up the ladder all by himself
well what can I say, Biloxi didn't advertise itself as well as NO did
My birthday now is regularly wet and windy!
Biloxi was creamed
I was a dogooder who saw it firsthand and it was awful
We got a brand-new bridge out of it, tho'- one that won't blow away!
I was in Houston for Debbie and Carla and then there was this decades long hiatus that lulled people (especially new comers) into thinking that we had some how licked Hurricanes
People kept building closer to the edge and lower to the ground
Yep...WE rescued a puppy during Ivan...turned out to be a purebredlab...guess his name...you'll get it in one
no I am bad a guessing -- I would have named him W
but now I am guessing Ivan
We lost about 60% of our docs cause they all lived on the water!
Ivan it is!
My neurologist slept in his office for half of a year
When I was a child houses were high enough that you could play under them--but by the time I was in HS they were being built on slabs
Sorry about the devastation, jaianniah.
I know...now, they are all UP
well up is good
TY...we still have not got our house all fixed up
wow jai - all in all you are lucky I guess. wish it could go smoother for you
I am back, I have the st8 what are the other two?
hi marc
but not 28 feet..I remeber Jim Cantori saying, "Folks, tomorrow, this beach is going to be under 28 feet of water...leave!" and some did not!
ga8
two kinds of people stay--old timers who know how to ride it out and fools
st 8/50, st 8/45 and ga 8/50
st8
hi luvword
hi luv
thanks
* Why couldn't the faucet be within 100 feet of the pasta bowl? * There was a restraining order.
This house has been through so many hurricanes...George was my first one and the water came a foot from flooding the house....we moved then....
hi jm
Oh, Br, bad pun!
da da de dum, la la la...;-)
*giggle* Temple Owl is on her way to my house to go to a baseball game
brb hearing strange sounds
no no, just me. ;-)
da da de dum, la la la...;-)
hmmm what is that strange tune that I keep hearing. . . ????
Could I have a clue for the st8/50, please?
still waters marc
are this, I should say
Got it thanks
I can name that tune in three notes
How about the ga8, please?
have to do it one, BR
ga 8 - one of the tummy ga's - there are 4 I think
anything to do with ga7/40?
ga 8 is a plural of the first ga 7 -fuel plus trick or ****t
yes, but before it
My daughter had her Blackberry alarm set to a hideous song and it kept going off...set to alarm. Now I get to figure out how to shut the da** thing off!
Thanks got them both
yw
which bb does she have jai?
pouring here now - pop up they call it
looks like a sheet of water to me. :-)
Suns out here it is beautiful
how is the corn doing, Marc?
we need it- only hope it breaks this terrible cycle of humidity
Who cares it is all feed corn here.
some cattle or hogs might
no sweet corn? whoa
only from some local growers and that is plentiful and good.
oh good - you were about to ruin all my id**s of Iowa. ;-)
having only driven thru, you understand
some high expectations for Hawkeye football this year
unlike the maize and blue, le sigh
well, my favorite team has not won a game ... since it dropped football ...
not ncaa's out, eh? I give - what team is your fav?
Geoducks play soccer, not football. And now they have a basketball team, something of which I disapprove. hello all
hi stid
hi Stid
hey lynxxx! how's everything over there today?
wettish !! how nice
Through the mud and the sand, let's go. Siphon high, squirt it out, swivel all about, let it all hang out.
Go, Geoducks go, Stretch your necks when the tide is low Siphon high, squirt it out, swivel all about, let it all hang out.
LET IT ALL HANG OUT~!!! *grin*
ah. olympia. :-)
brb phone
geos have a booster club too ... must have a lot of batteries that fail
google is my friend.
no energizer bunnie?
un 7/36 please? I have one - to give back a meal, per se
without clothes
ty BR.
should have seen that one. per usual
sorry, the phone rang and I wandered off.
evergreen at first glance appears to be a wonderful place to learn, stid
It is, for the right people, BR. Like any school, there are some who do better elsewhere. The lack of formal structure in some classes makes it difficult for unmotivated and immature students to stay on track. They end up trying to do too much at the very end, and don't succeed.
fireworks
the unmotivated will likely not do well anywhere
For older, motivated students, the lack of structure allows us to tailor the classes to our interests and needs; for example I tend to add either ethnobotanical or ethnomusicology studies to nearly every course.
Congrats, Wolvie
YAY wolvie!
Congrats Wolvie!
Yay Wolvie, and Hi to all all my babbling friends.

that's 'cause BR is the BABBLE RULER!!!
If BabbleRabble is a plebeian plodder, what the heck does that make me? A wader through quick-sand?
okay, halfway now. going to go rest for a while. Have managed to get a lot of work done this morning, though as usual I wish I were more active.

*listening*
hi welk, nef, kazz, DR et al :))
Little Johnny's at it again.... A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, 'Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!' After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, 'Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?' 'No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!'
any clues for the first sa please
hi mr president
The maths teacher saw that little Johnny wasn't paying attention in class.. She called on him and said, 'Johnny! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?' Little Johnny quickly replied, 'NBC, FOX, ESPN and the Cartoon Network!'
very good
that last joke is exactly my son!! LOL
HAHAHA, good one again, mrp! ;)
i like the first one best :)
Hi all. Back for my last 54 words. Have been to a show this evening at the theatre, 'We Will Rock You'. Great night! LOLOL at your joke, MrP.

Kazzer - it's a brilliant show.
<knocks on door quietly>
Door creaks open to reveal a hunch-backed and ancient manservant. 'Yerrss?'
"May I come in please; though I am unworthy to be in the presence of such greatness"?
<she said in a quivering voice>...
Manservant extends a claw-like hand. 'Come in,' he says in sepulchural tones. 'I will fetch my master.'
egads
Hello, TKate and all
Welki - One of my favourite expressions is that.
<takes a tentative step forward and removes hat> <eyes downcast>
Hi jai.
lol .. i like it. and *ptui*
You are really fitting in nicely, TKate.....(LOL)
And Hi, Jac
gawrsh <blushing>...aw shucks...
HI JAI
HAI THERE
How do i address the door keeper?
'The master will be with you shortly, Trader. Would you like a drink before the sun goes down?' Manservant extends a goblet of what looks like very thick red wine.
welki.. whats ptui - the sound of expectoration?
it's the sound one hears before a hair hits the floor
'You may call me Igor, Trader.' Manservant bows and backs away.
I saccept your master's hospitality, Igor. Thank you very much. <bows >
Meanwhile, back in Babbleonia, Jacula still has 49 words to find...
"hahaha" cries a small creature with a familiar mien (sp). "You may call me Salacious Crumb".
hooray fireworks for me - i can go to bed a happy bunny good luck - specially you Trader - dont fancy igor much
congrats, kazzer!
Congrats Kazzer.
hello
WTG, Kazzer^^^####$$$$BOOM! Congrats!
hey, harp
Hiya HJ!
have a good nite evening day even and will see you at the flip or as close as i can drag myself out of my pit
Salacious Crumb, hve you come to seek the master as well?Nite Kazzer sleep tight.
"Hahaha, I want you all to try and remember from whence I came!"
'Mr. Crumb is on loan from Mr. Hutt and will entertain you while you wait, Trader.@
!!!! congratulations on your fire works!!!!
:-D
Is Mr. Hutt the master?
"Well done," says Salacious. "Now, the $40,000 question. What does salacious mean?"
greedy?
'No, Trader. There is only one Master.'
greedy
lascivious
haha thats where he went when my poor husband met his unfortunate end at the hands of the jedi scum
Sex mad.
Are we to know the msaster's name or is it like THE DOCTOR?
(my sons nikname for m is Mrs Hutt)
and lewd.
"well done, weiki! Mr. Hutt, Jabba to those less fortunate not to know Him, will be here shortly, to put you in a skimpy costume so you can show off your new curves."
and slightly crude
Trader - don't you have enough clues to his name? Sundown, thick red wine, MY name...?
Will you join me in sa refreshment Mr. Hutt? I think Salacious Crumb is lurking closeby...
I dsare not utter his name without permission
You may only utter it with a Transylvanian accent.
"I generally prefer frogs for a snack."
nosferatu
Speaking of frogs, I'm diving into the pond for a while.
'Zat ees von of his names, Trader.'
you dive JAC.....need 8 more words myself.....may jump off a cliff...
Prince of Darkness
"Count on it, you will get it, TKate."
*S P L O O S H !*
LOL jai. 'Count on it.' Tee, hee, hee.
Hi Une.
I fear him, yet am strangely drawn to him....quite like this puzzle {not game...)
hey :-)
une's here!
This is a puzzle? A mere puzzle?? No, no, no, don't say it! This is THE BREAD OF LIFE!!!
Hiya, Une
has canyone her from stidmama? hope her migraine is gone ..
Trader, remove that garlic and that crucifix from around your neck and open up your high collar a little. You must be warm; I can smell the garlic. *turns away*
it is a conundrum...
It is, indeed!
a vexing siren that draws me away from my work only to be dashed against the rocks
still 8
Siren, as in Ulysses...if you listen to the words go by, you get strangely caught forever....
Need some clues?
Sal. Crumb bad storm light flickering may lose you
K. Understand.
if I go silent you'll know why
Trader & Jai-it's the PB for you two!
I vill hold you all in thrall until I catch up. *said in a Transylvanian accent.*
the writin's on the wall jac...i'm doomed
A whirling dervish goes through the chog, wailing, 'DOOMED! We're all DOOMED!'
(Sorry! Still on a high from tonight's show. LOL)
clues....tried everything in the book...guessing all possible permutations i can think of to complete
Doomed to this grid and all its vowels
saw it here...loved it...love queen
Do you need id****?
it's still playing here but at smaller theatre now
it's still playing here but at smaller theatre now
<sees double>
will scroll back for a minute.forgot to" listen"
It's in it's 8th year now, Kate. My, how times flies. Doesn't seem like 5 mins since I was watching Freddie live on stage.
jai - take more water with the next one. LOL
Who knows which word in the grid means that the cardinal has not come? TY, I will take a glass of that red wine....
I had a very strange little ginger guy with long hair and a plaited bear, and a voice like a girl, sitting next to me. Every time I tried to clap or dance about, he gave me nervous sidelong looks. I think he was afraid of me.
Plaited beard, not bear. LOL. That WOULD have been strange!
LOL!
i'm okay fo now Jai. thanks....will beg later
No begging necessary- do not forget that there is a dictionary on Lickety's page...when all else fails, look it up- or plural it....
He was very wise to be fearful of you...never get between the show and a true queen fan....I miss freddy too.
haven't done all my reading yet for this site...didn't see dictionsay...
Kate - I got quite 'filled up' emotionally when they did the Freddie tribute.
brings back memories doesn't it...
I think Ginger Guy's Mum was on the other side of him. She knew all the words, too. LOL
was she singing on key?...nothing worse than bohemian rhapsody off-key...tough song
hello all
lol remember me jacula?
jai - did sal. crumb bring you your wine yet? if not ask him if i may have another
Quite properly an7 should also be an 8 with a "C" at the end
Yes. Have been busy building red blood cells.
riden
oops
bully for you. are they getting big and strong
Go directly to the corner of the puzzle!
glad it's not me this time...think i left some choclit cake in there yesterday...
Hi Reese's. Yes, I do. Long time no see.
haha
i know right? i havent babbled in like 2 years haha
too busy with sports
No BabbleRabble? no Stiddmama? is babble feeding his pet corn stalk to his penguins????
i remember stiddmama :D
Kate - yes, she was in tune, as was I. (I hope!)
hi everyone
Just got back from walking my pet rock
she's had a migraine this last week..I guess she's resting...perhaps she VOULD LIKE A GBBLET OF VINE AS VELL???
Hi Jen.
Hi BR. Where did you take you pet rock?
lol love the accent on that kate
we walked twice around the sandbox
you go jac, sing your heart out....what do they say? sing like you're in the shower,,dance like no one's watching...
BABBLE!!!! missed you
hi jen
Hello, Kate
BR - did he/she long for a real beach with miles of sa4 and the sound 7 se4 of Rye?
the pet rock is rather terse and tight-lipped
does nyour pet rock have a name ? don't say Rocky....or Flintstone
A bit of a stoney individual then, BR?
does a rockyearn for what he does not know?
Rather gritty even...
so many questions about a rock....gah!
BR sure it's sa rock; not a clsam?
clam
Kate - a rock knows all; he's been around since the beginning ot time.
i agree with jac
Reese's - we're in another dimension.
a rock of ages
i can tell lol
technically, not since time began. in fact some rocks are quite young indeed..new ones are born every dsay
A Cambrian rock knows all.
cambrian?
BR - drat! I'm going to be singing that for eons now!
Cambrian rock - Welsh rock. The oldest known.
Expect br has rather ancient rock though..can't imagine him with perhaps pre-cambrian
ah, gotcha
ok, how about bringing in the sheaves .. bringing in the sheaves ... we shall come rejoicing .. bringing in the sheaves
?
phantom: Persiflageâ€
There are rocks much older than that though...very interesting in Antarctica....sall thsat continental drift..
song i take it?
BR - oops! You've done it again. LOL
are these sheaves of corn stalks br?
Hymn for harvest
wheat
hymn? isnt that some sort of church thing?
point of order..can you have a sheaf of corn?
Oh, Susanna, Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee
Onward Babble soldiers, marching as to war, with the grid before them, going on before/like a mightly army... continue.
love it jac now we have our own anthem
BR - I hate that song as it reminds me of the woman who broke my marriage into smithereens.
What is the word for long line of corn sheaves left to dry in a breeze?
babble those who don't finish can sing yours mournfully
Dunno BR, what is the word?
windrow

Ah! Yes. No, he's serious. That is the word.

Hi Jacula & Jen
i got 100 words with one hand!

hey, jen :-)
Go Jen go!
A big thunderstorm will arrive soon. It is now dark and very windy.
don't fool with Mother Nature
we had that storm this morning
Nope, she can unleash her fury.
So, Sscrabbs, you may disappear without warning? Storms predicted here for Sunday.
Yes, I may have to turn off the PC, grab a flashlight and hide under the blankets with a book and a bunny.
choclit bunny??
Scrabbs - how do you stop your bunnies chewing holes in your bedding and leaving 'currants' in the bed?
I have 4 real bunnies in my house. My kids are furry and have long ears.
Young bunnies are the worst for chewing holes in stuff.
I tolerate all of that, Jacula, but none are terrible chewers and they are great at using their litter boxes.
do you have them loitter box trained?
nm
i am running out of words to find!
how many jen
Scrabbs - never try to cuddle a guinea pig in bed - they sh*t at 2 second intervals.
101
Jen - that's good, isn't it? Means you nearly finished?
ouch...lots of time tho
Oh Jen. :(
Not so good then.
Yes, Kate, it is very easy--they learn quickly. Downstairs I have 2 litter boxes for Miss Beatrix Potter, on each side of the house.
with one arm!
Is one arm injured, Jen?
Are the 3 as7's related? I found the middle one.
how's the wrist today? little better ?

Help, please. 1 left. I have to quit. ( not to be too dramatic) I'm going babbleblind! NA7?

Thanks all.
Kate - are you the Kate who used to be here and then emirgrated to Canada?
*emigrated
how do you even play this??
choo choo, this is fun
bahh i know it's like boggle.. i'm just not sure what all that jumble is below the board
Choo, if you mean what are the guidelines, they are there for you. Stats also explained.
born and bred canuck jac.... but the uk is in my blood and my heart...
Choo - click on the Help tab above.
what are the tile stats?
So, not Kate Hudson then?
ah! thank you! :)
no...kate winslet
Choo - the 'jumble' you mentioned below the grid.
If you are KateW, Kate, you;re doomed to sink. LOL
such disrespect for the siren.....
throw me a line
kate winslet?
Oh, and stop taking your kit off in every film and play! There's no mystery left. LOL
my friend in b.c. calls me kate winslet...kind of an inside joke....did you see ,me win an academy award this year????
Kate - 'throw you a line?' I'm not a prompter, I'm a writer. LOL
just don't want to drown - so close to shore
No, Kate, I didn't. I hope you didn't cry and then thank everyone from your nursery teacher to your gynaecologist?
gone to tend dinner back soon
YELL for clues if you want them.
*Kate Winslet tending to dinner? Surely not* LOL
I do hope she puts an apron on if it something that might spit hot fat! After all, she might be cooking au naturel.
ne7?
What's for dinner, Kate?
kje - geek-like.
are you spyin' on me Jac? want to hear tonight's menu?
Ends in another word for either a bowl or a hunky man.
LOL, Kate. Yes, what's for dinner?
ty jac!
You talkin bout me?
y/w kje. Glad you got it.
Hi Torg - what the sexy guy or the ne4?
I'll take either ..
Typical guy!
Were you here when a record was set a couple of days ago, Torg?
Apparently, 12 mins of chat, a full chog page, was achieved by the Babble guys without one woman interrupting.
holy cow - when was that
to start: Muskoka Salad followed by grilled lamb loin with raspberry/apricot/mint reduction topped with toasted chopped pecans and chilled asparagus vinaigrette...flakey buttermilk rolls to sop up the sauce.. and a glass of pinot noir....want to hear dessert?
They sat on their hands (the women) to let it happen, though one did have to post a sexy pic to make the guys get talking.
LOL
Carry on, Kate.
Yes, I was part if history
*of
I must go back into the archives and read all that, Torg. I was probably gardening when it happened.
Hi everyone. How's it?
dessert: adult strawberry shortcake...made with baking powder biscuits and a little cointreau in the strawbs...and of course whipped cream (homemade)
Sounds like a nice meal, Kate. Did you make it all yourself?
its good red
Hi Red.
I have 8 words, probably shouldnt have started....
Heya red ..
Red - you'd better climb up to the highboard and dive in.
en6?
en + have a ****k of water
evening all!
insecticide,kje.
ty bgh
muskoka salad: leafy greens including some arugula for peppery bite and some romaine for crunch...pine nuts, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, grape tomato, razzleberry dressing.
The finale + first three letters of what you do to get the shampoo out of your hair.
Kate - I know what the salad is.
with my very own pampered hands...can't get good help anymore...(said kate winslet)
162 words in and I finally got nbt ..
un7? have the plural
what do you call it?
More dressing than salad, but tasty nonetheless.
go, tor!!
hi dan2 how is cheetah?
an 7?
an + most of es6/18
un7 sounds like nekkid, Une.
thanks!
should be just a drizzle to moisten...your chef is in need of further training...or a slap upside the head
thank you
naked *perk*
ruru hello
yw and hey, ruru :-)
dan2 - really loved your post about how you and your wife met... it inspired me ; )
Kate - same as you do.
10
going blind in dictionary...pu 6 that is before what BR could be described as...
if you don't minjd...
pt of the same, trader
Kate - I'm the chef (mostly) and I worked that out re the dressing. However, only myself, my daughter and my stepdaughter like dressings on salads. My son and partner 'prefer things plain'. *Sigh!*
Wow, its pouring here, we even have a flash flood advisory and thos darn sirens going off...we know its raining and storming, why the alarms.
red - maybe the thunderbolts set off the alarms?
men a really fine meal is wasted on MOST of them...they just hoover it up...
possibly, it did knock out the power...momentarily
True, mostly, sadly, Kate.
uh..not true...
ci7?
Thing is, most of the world famous chefs are men.
hi everyone
wait - ci7/32
Hi lbd.
not the men I know, trader
cu4,5 + l*** but not least
hi Jac
ci7 - movie buff
once dated a very fine chef.....i did all the cooking, it was a job for him, no longer pleasure....so i made him pick the menu and buy the appropriate bevies
kje -got any i can borrow?
ci7/32 = ci + consonant + compass direction (where the sun rises in UK).
my hubs loves to eat, but when it comes to salads, i'm not sure if it's the dressing he's eating or the lettuce
IBDAWG hi
TY!
Hi TK!!
what ever gets the greens into them is good...
no, trader, not sharing
(Kate it's LBDAWG)
as 5/14?
I dated a chef for 2 years and my daughter has also dated a couple of chefs. None of them seem to enjoy cooking at home. If you want to find a chef who does it for a job but is frustrated by the lack of rein it gives him, try a soldier.
I ONLY NEED 6 dawg....all by myself so far put out one clue request but probably missed ans.
as+ ***k and Jane
looking for that too ru
good for you TK!!

thank you LBD.. don't go to bed yet

kje...trying to be polite...sh*t on a shingle might not fly so well here
but you are a gourmand, ru
me???? scrolling back...
ugh, no like sos
LOL trader - but my dad was navy... he would never say the whole thing, just SOS and then my mom would hush him
how many left ruru?
heigh ho
too many
Hi dorens
Most straight men who cook like to 'keep it simple'. Gay men who cook often make the most divine concoctions. I'm hoping the 'gay' wedding reception I'm going to this weekend, has been catered by the guys who are entering into a civil partnership, 'cos the last time they did a party I got most of the fantastic whole cooked salmon with delicate salads etc., whilst the rest of the party tucked into the curry they'd also made.
st8, anybody?
still water, dan
i think he is a gourmet, not a gormand
that is such total BS Jac
isn't gourmand a glutton
water gone bad.
standing water, Dan2
Hi Dorens.
thanks all!
yah, i like water gone bad, much better
no, gourmand enjoys eating, not necessarily to gluttonu
*gluttonY
ba 5? stuck on it?
what the sheep did, ruru
PT of sheep sound
pt of what the sheep said
what the sheep said, ruru.
the sheep did this
know lots of gay and straight guy that don't cook well...
en6 por favor
oh geez
thanks
ruru whatever i said probably didn't mean....men and veggies??
en + ****k to me only with thine eyes
en+****k of h2O
but of course, thanks lbd
Good clue, lbd!
kje, how am I misspelling pannus?
ty also to jai
Now I'm going to be singing another song for eons.
OK, now I'm off... would wait for you ru - but I can't stay up forever!
but tis a lovely song, jac
please resume eating at normal rate and remove pensive furrow in brow...meant no offense.
pannus is not in the puzzle
lbd - it is.
kje?
yes red
pannus, isn't a real word? am I misspelling?
pl. for another word is
red, try es
no, red, i tried it too, but it is latin, so guess it doesn't take it
is that a very flat penus? Pannus?
ruru - what's a total Bs? Bullsh*t?
yes, but a pannus is the belly fat of a fat person, unless i am misspelling it.
sweet sleep, KJE
it is the belly that hangs over your pubic bone
Yes. Thank heavens I dont really have one yet.
is that all you needed red?
oh ruru !
I can cook circles around any gay chef.. and most of my friends too
well kje, I was sort of wondering why it isnt accepted in the grid.
glad to hear it...lots more guys cooking these days...
why ask why
Good for you, ruru. If you visit us, you can cook.
not all chefs are gay...
or men
Just cause I do....been grumpy all day it might as well continue.
Red, cuz DR G didn't include it in the list of acceptable words.
We're both pretty good ourselves, which is why we are mostly disappointed when we eat out.
ok, poof
ruru can cook, i'm sure
night kje
however I know a few pretty good transexual chefs.. that are really good...
I know not all chefs are gay - read back, me, daughter etc.
i'm not a chef, but i'm a pretty darn good cook.
Transexual chefs? Now we are getting back into the realms of the musical we went to see earlier. 'We Will Rock You'.
how are you sure dorens?>
I'm a pretty good darned cook, also.
I am a terrible cook....but that probably goes along with me.
i can't say, i just am. maybe cause of napa?
my mom was an awesome cook. I learned from her, don't measure much and go a lot by taste and smell.
The family all get nervous when I experiment, but what the heck? You can't learn if you don't try things out.
I learned from my grandmother .. who was a terrific cook.
lbd - I'd go along with that.
same here dawg, and my mom says I'm better than her.. and I say my daughter is better than me... if you know good food and know what you like and choose recipes with great ingredients, you can't go wrong
hubz loves it when i experiment, he just wishes i'd take notes on what i used! lol
Isn't it funny that cookdom causes more rivalry than 'who's best in the sack?' on here. LOL
Guten Abend, friends. We have a reall chef in our midst: Dachef
my oldest sister is a really good cook too, she's also good at baking! wish i had her skill with that.
Though the two subjects are not wholly disconnected...
jac - can i come for dinner next time i'm over..we can experiment together and create somethin marvellous

hi BR
thanks

there's a storm here
hello, lbd
Kate - sure you can. Let me know when you arrive.
my hudband is a great cook. He loved Julia Childs shows. I used to bake fancy German tortes for friends' graduations and confirmations. But no longer
evening all
hi Moo!
gee.. I was thinking I would have to go gay to continue cooking well...
hey dawg...how's the dawging doing?
No, Kate, I had aa 6' 5" tall German boyfriend.
only if you want TK and jac to call you chef, ru
not necessary ruru. And you have the wine to go with the meal
dawgin' is draggin' but otherwise all right, how are you doing?
i'm packing now...(i wish)...haven't been since millennium...can't wait to go back...wanted to immigrate...looked into jobs, but it's really tough to get in... *sigh*
fireworks
TV chef Julia Child was a spy for the Office of Strategic Services during World War II
congrats, Dorens
whoooo hoooooo DORENS!!
It was only after he'd scared me by 'saving for our future together' and I'd blown him off for an English boyfriend, that I realised he was heir to a string of famous hotels along the Rhine. LOL
ah, but she insists she wasn't a spy, just a lowly assistant!
I wonder, how much info she really procured
to late for her to insist
good..have had a couple of "pops" so feeling much more relaxed
yah, she insistED
:-) moo
Before she became a domestic goddess, Child was stationed in China and Ceylon, working as a spy with the Office of Strategic Services, an organization begun by Franklin Roosevelt that was a precursor to the CIA.
4 to go
she certainly was a sharp cookie who could have been, that's what I thought. did you read her book? i loved it
go Moo
I was his first lov and he took my rejection badly, but he got over it. (I know that because my best friend was his best friend's g/f and they broke up and then me and her ex wrote to each other. There was no internet in those days.)
Is that a note of sarcasm about Julia, babrab?
Long before she was famous for her kitchen concoctions, Child teamed up with male spies to create shark repellent for the OSS. She “literally cooked up a shark repellent,†Linda McCarthy, curator of an exhibit on female spies, told NPR.
Hello all
hi Jilli
hi jilli
With her voice and stature, she would have been a most unlikely lspy
ruru - no need to 'go gay' to become a good chef, just bend over whilst reading the recipes.

3 to go
brb, need more ice.
Well done, Dorens.

I just looked at myself in the bathroom mirror - 14 hours ago, when I got made up to go out I looked good, even up to 3 hours ago when I got back, I still looked good. Now, I look tired.
we live in hope, eh dan?

no just bidding good evening to the horde that just left
there was a horde here?

lbdawg not gone...you should be so lucky...still need 5...

2 of them, ruru - laid in the sun, and change the last two letters
which one, dan
thanks
ta7 (2nd) the most sunburned.
I need the 7/32
btw, I finidhed a few hours ago, hoping to go to the beach for a swim, and it promptly clouded over so I started doing stuff like freezing local strawberries and bison steaks and local lamb chops, so of course ths un came out again and it was too late.
(a S& M clue.. whew)
acid from grapes or possible leather
ta6.21 a type of acid found in tea
color the sun turns skin + kinda ending
ok Kate -- glad you're sticking around
S&M, LOL, ruru. So, are ou going to give dan 7/32? LOL
aha! I forgot that ending a couple times this grid. firewords!
Stands back to watch the sparks fly.
YAY dan2bit!!!
ahh, TK more fun for all of us.
whoooo hoooooo DAN2!!!
congrats, dan
I'm probably too ne7 for that :-)
pathetic really...am considering grovelling
lol
mmhmm, TK is a good name for our TraderKate
dan - you're not an ne4.
so how about going pro, TK?
She still sounds like Kate Hudson to me, jilli.
you mean trading or selling myself on a street corner?
lol, ooh that should open some doors for comments, TK
well, I don't really know what kate Hudson sounds like, lol
Neither, Kate.
Jilli - no, but I do, and this sounds like our old Kate.
like winslet, not sure who hudson is...not a star-follower
poor TK -- you'd really better straighten all these people out by spilling all in a profile, cost of $15
oh....i pays my money and takes my chances...
Anyway, I'll stop banging on about that now, except to say that writers recognise writing styles.
what's wrong with hooking for clues?
you're confused??? i'm totally as4 (that right)/
you should know, ru (said that since, kje isn't here to say it.)
i guess cybersex wouldn't be out of the question...
What are you offering in exchange for clues, ruru?
(stands on street corner) hey.. got a vowell?
TK -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Huds on
hmmmm a gourmet meal and ....
xoxoxo ruru
got to head out for a bit to go shopping... see you all later I hope..
later, ru
Kate - not on this site. Go to MSN or Yahoo or somewhere. Beloved and me once watched cybersex happening on a games site. It was hilarious. how predictable every next line was. We saved to convofor posterity (and for laughs).
That couple reakky ddn't seem to realise that everything they said was avvailable to all on the internet, just like this chog is.
gotta go and cook dinner -- bison steak with caramelised onions in wine, scalloped potatoes au gratin, and zucchini, of course, lol
fresh local strawberries and creme fraiche...
oooh bison steak! yummm
You're improving jilli. Good!
and Coronation Street on TV, followed by Jeopardy.
Waddaya mean, improving, jac? I always do stuff like that!
corrie is good, jeopardy not o good, LOL.
HELLO ALLLLLLL!!!!!!! *sits down and eats all the strawberries and leaves the creme fraische to Jill*
STIDDY!!
hi stid -- you wouoldn't eat bison steak!!!!
Hi Stid - people have been asking after you.
no, I wouldn't jill -- prefer life to flavor any day.
Jilli - didn't you once just to eat ready meals?
back now looks like i missed lots... not your old kate, surley she was a better typer thsasn I
Oh , you never said you would -- just the strawberries
hello Kate!
Only occasionally, jac, when I was too tired to cook.
STIDDY !!!! been askin' 'bout you all day no on answered...how's the migraine?
*Chucks some fresh peaches, blackberries and strawberries to jilli, to go with the creme fraiche.
so Jill -- boys and I would like to come on Saturday the 29th (will spend the night before in Vic) and leave Sunday on our way to the fossil fields on the big island. Is that okay?
migraine had a resurgence this morning when the sunlight was glinting off everything as I drove to work. Better again now.
jilli - I guess I only met you on those occasions before, re food.
I have all those things right here, jac.
thanks for asking Kate
stid you need to get some really dark sunglasses to drive
BUT. I am officially DONE with my job. Was very clear when my friend offered to let things go today so I could go rest some more, said we could extend the contract 10 days. I declined. Not so gracefully.
jilli - then you have a surfeit of fruit. Make a fruit salad for Stid and family.
I HAVE really dark sunglasses - the polarizing kind.
I've put Sat 29th in my date book, just fine. Are we having a meeting in Sidney? (email me)
)((((sympathy))))) >>>>>STIDMAMA
*sigh* but once the migraine is going, all I can do is wait it out and hope there aren't too many extending triggers
thanks Jill -- will email you later.
down to 107, and want to hit 100 before I list.
thanks Kate. I'll be fine. But feel free to throw choclits if you want! LOL
jac, as a single, I often have a surfeit of things. The world is not designed for ancient widows.
I have some nice boozy homemade strawberry shortcske though
ttfn...
and not designed for young widows like you either, jill -- or young singles.
(((Jill))) see you soon!
bye jill
Take the juice of 1 lemon, 2 oranges, quarter of a cup of runny honey, blitz those together and then slice in one pineapple, one apple, a punnet of blueberries, same of strawberries, about a dozen of each of red and green grapes, one mango and 2 kiwi fruits. Breakfast heaven for us here.
*wiping drool off keyboard* Jac -- must you do that when I am waiting for supper?
you missed my menu stid...
Sorry Stid.
Hi stidmama, hi stidmama (exicited fou)
oh oh... how much is a punnet, though? a dry pint?
Hi all!
hi fou
....and lively discussion re; gay men vs. straights cooking
stage
hey fouette! should I post that pic here for an icon?
sorry
AND... use the other box... LOL
we are embaressed, sorry
how did the school orientation go, anyway?
it's okay, fou -- not a real wurd in today's grid. ((hugs)) glad to see you here
fou is hiding with shame, as fous Mum did the bad deed
I will stick with some horseradish, vegemite and turnip slices on pumpernickel .. and maybe a dollop of guacamole
rofl... just like a mother to mess up one's perfect record!
no marmite br?
The school orientation was great until we realized that there was no GT on her agenda, so they are going to have to do her a new schedule, could take a week or so...
sounds reasonable, BR. -- hope the turnips are fresh and tender? *remembering some that were not once*
ACK!!! that's a HUGE mistake. when does school start?
fou loved the picture, she thought the apron too large until I explained
A punnet is a container about 2ins x 4 ins and about 3 ins tall.
Monday!!!
How is your head stidmama?
yes, so about what we call a pint then. Thanks Jac.
better, fouette, though I am not happy with light, sound or motion yet.
About 3 good handfuls of fruitm, Stid.
down to 98. listing...
Well I suppose if you were a vampire hiding in an attic that would be ok
Just chuck it all in and then let the artist in you see if the colours looks balanced. That's what I do.
LOL I am considering making that a career move, fouette!
that vampire served us wine earlier...
will go fix a new icon so our babble buds can see how great I look in that apron. brb
oh no please no, think of your children (fou) and Tom
forgot the pics are on the other computer. booting up now.
FORE!!!! er, I mean FOIUR !!!!
I did serve wine, Trader.
It worked its magic. LOL!
LOL Kate! (4) ???
yes you did you salacious crumb...
Teee, hee..
and it waqs deilsh.

HA! The thich 'wine' worked, Trader can't spell now.
And neither can I (thick) sine I had to taste it to mae sure it was right.
tornado in vaughn (just north of Toronto) touched down also durham.. OShawa area....told you it was quite a storm
*since
See what I mean?
spell fine...useless typist...need computer keyboard, not laptop
Heck, I thought I'd gon bonkers for a moment there, I read tornado as tomato.
Spell fine, too, if I din't hav a dirty keyboard that you have to bash like an old-fashioneed manual typrewriter.
Which I can do, if needs must.
okay, should be there now...
3rd fibbonacci number now required...!!!!!<big fat grin>
