Bugs, when I was at school in Shanghai we had a competition to write the play of Pyramus and Thisbe -- what fun!
And the dam of our first Dane was Thisbe of Moonsfield
Don't you love the way it folds around in yor mouth when you say it out loud?
oh yes, bugs!
I may come up with a better word for my icon some time
You do these every day and always try to teach us something. I just use the choices to see where my mind goes.
I'm off to bed before I fall asleep right here! Goodnight all
ty atalante for the se 7/8
may be back in the morning
27 Bs? pffff
I don't try to teach anyone. I just like to share what I learn

They always interest me and get me thinking about things. That is teaching too.
night flosey
so good to hear -- thanks, bugsaw
back again
how is everyone this evening? it's finally stopped raining here in toronto
we need rain here
i got to ride a boat around the lakeside this evening. it started raining just as we were getting in the car to come home
Good timing Josh
hi all! survived my day...and now t o relax...
hi pav
so far 21 for 21 with 2 BT.s to go.
good for you, pav
Made my half way. Good night and happy Babbling.
night bugs -- fabulous!
G'Nite, all. Pleasant dreams!
night jai
good luck, pav - that lower s is a tricky one. i got like 15 s's before i found it
With 26 words to go I will have to leave fore a while - back later to finish
omg, anike, I'm just short of halfway
55 left here - calling it a night. until tomorrow
now just over halfway
should I start?
why not, ruru?
looks a bit big...I have a lot to do tomorrow.
Don't start
well, ruru, I'm just over halfway and watching Six Degrees of Separation at the same time
* splash *
figures
thanks for the encouragement Just..lol
the news from today is nyet...evidently my boss's advice upon leaving is that the new executive director needs an HR -focused administrative director and not a financial-focused director, presumably because I will be sticking around to be the finance guru...I was also told my exiting boss did not recommend me for anything else...the budget presentation went well, and I was given "brownie points" for making a workable and beneficial suggestion on another issue...
your funereal ru.lol
sigh pav...the shenanigans of corporate bullshit
firewords 10 mins ago...lost the net :(
heya dartie...wtg!
hiya just
that's tough, pav. Dcseain had bad news too.utes
a belated YIPPEE! for dart...
how are you? long time no speak!
Jill, you have mail - please read. (And thank you.) :)
oh? what did I miss?
Oh no - what's wrong with Seain, Jilli? :(
oops
what's DC's bad news???
I haven't seen him yesterday at all, or today so far?!
he's unemployed
oh no...
<======...hates bad news :(
ahhh crap....suddenly???
Oh no!!! :(
I gather -- he posted in FB
That is sudden, yes - he had no idea it was coming. :(
ugh!...this doesn't seem at all fair...
FB...for babblers?
A lot of things apparently, are far from fair. :?
Sigh...life is not fair JC
But sadly, that's life - and people, too.
normal FB just
always the good ones who get fu**ed
Speaking of which, did you get the e-mail, Jill?
Seems to be the case, yes . . .
you're correct J.C., but at some point the "good guys" must at least score, yes?
oh ...don't know his real name so guess I can't access it
just going to check now, JC
I don't understand Seain losing his job. :/
didn't he work for the US government?
Well who knows, PAV . . . who indeed, knows?!
OK, Jilli . . .
DC was a federal worker ..it could have been political...or just wrong time in the wrong place...
Pav...what happened to your flag?
I shouldn't be too saddened by my news..the other shoe has yet to drop...they need an HR-focused administrator because the scuttlebutt says they're getting rid of my counterpart in HR and she doesn't know it yet...
I don't know, PAV - but I feel terrible for him! :( It's the last thing he needs, and I hope he'll be able to find something else, quickly!
Just...I was vacationing the world from my home whilst escaping the intense AZ heat...
ain't corporate life grand? eh?
oh Pav and yesterday had to put the heat on in my basement where computer is...either that or eternal goosebumps :(
I feel bad for anyone losing their livelihood when they aren't the problem...
Such a cutthroat world today... :(
That's normal for our summers, Just . . . although, we have had a couple 'heat-waves' during this one.
yesterday it was about 113 outside , and today the same, and tomorrow perhaps...
glad I am self-employed
That it certainly is, Just . . .
104 here pav
Yes, ruru - a definite advantage.
hubby is self employed too, but that can pose its own problems too....
yeah.. like working too many hours
but only if you have a skill that people can use...
exactly....plus hoping sales keep coming through
hubby works a min 60 hour week...
I know that feeling, ruru . . .
I don't know about self-employment for myself...there are days I don't want to see me...and then misery does love company...
no perks...no ins...no nothing
I work 60-70 most weeks
damn, missed the end of the movie
really interferes with my babbling I must say
and I'm only working roughly 50 hrs /wk
thank god for "the dreaded socialized" medicine and in QUE...the drug insurance program
Thank you, Jilli - just got your reply. :)
gov't pays 2/3's of any prescription drugs you need if you don't have private ins
sounds reasonable Just...is the personal tax rate much higher?
See -- the insurance companies here have found plenty of things to insure which are not covered by our single-payer system
NBT in 10 minutes.. not bad
toldjaso, ru!
ruru...I'm still at 2 BT's
well yes we pay high taxes but we do not have to pay any medical for doctors, hospitals, whatever...only dentistry is payable
what does the 9 begin with?
then viola! I shall emigrate to Canada...how are the winters? colder than Michigan? may I deduct my poopies as dependents?
in BC we pay $54/mo for our medical plan
as 8
as9
pav, the climate here in southern BC is similar to North Carolina
the winters in Mtl are about the same as Mich...but where Jilli lives in BC it is milder
thanks got it
I've not been to NC...BC is north of Washington state, yes?
well, time for bed here -- night all!
night jilli
Good night, Jilli - sleep well, and sweet dreams! :)
yes, pav --same climate as Seattle but drier.
night Jilli!
night jilli.. sleep well hopefully see you tomorrow
yes pav...directly above wash state is BC
And happy day to you, JC
hmmm...perhaps BC is in my future
well hopefully Canada will let you in to work more easily than the US will let Canadians in to work
nice flag you're flying now, pav, lol!
Thank you, Jilli! :) Same to you, of course . . . ;)
yes and g'night again jillibus
and...*poof*
well of course they will Just..I can do many things,,,just not lead an administrative division of a smallish state government agency
Health care is run by the provinces...not the Federal Gov't...BC and Alberta have much better health care in some ways than we do here..
but those who are deemed emergencies are treated immediately and with the greatest of care
down to the pesky s as BT
babblet
plural
I have 22 for 22...I should prob play on else I'll never get things done...
I have it and would love to clue it but hard to know which one it is
Josh said it took him 15 s words to get...
st + two vowells + plural
ahhh that's it ru...
got it right before you clued ruru! 24 for 23 words and NBT!
gg pav
now to play!
not sure what the 24 for 23 words mean tho....
have 44 left
80 here
it took me 24 tries to find 23 words to get to NBT...
ohhh okay...
in this case...if I had all NBT's in 23 words, I'd have done very well...
I try for NBT's but if that ain't working I just go for quantity lol
well I wanted a challenge within the challenge and to ignore the big-word finders in the chat...
heheh I hear ya
sigh..the bu's are a bit**
well, I hit a glitch ..it took 5 mins to accept a word...the as8...

everyone likes you DC and word went around earlier
thanks, Just :)
:">
toronto, dc....sorry, i don't know what up with you...
hi DC. Didn't filter down to me...hope you and yours are ok -!?
kate's in Toronto I belive.east coast time as you
is this about tom's surgery?
i got news this AM that my full clearance was denied, and was escorted out of the building, after working there for 3 years on my provisional clearance. I can't wait to find out what changed.
this time, no Kate
pheww!
that is so bizarre..
that so sucks DC...what's up with that? or should I even bother asking in this day and age
What! that sounds like ****!
someone had an in for you?
I know not at this time, but will keep people posted, insofar as it is appropriate for me to divulge
sounds creepy.. I hope it is something that clears up
ohhh so if you divulge you'll have to kill us?? (sorry bad joke)
i do have glowing recommendations from the job, though, which is nice.
may i ask, are you irs?...was comment back a bit...
I was working for US Customs and Border Protection as a contractor.
that related to your temporary vampire thing kate
I'm sure you'll find something very soon to your liking DC
Excellent...well good luck with the job searches DC. Rotten time to look for work I suppose though
BBL taking a half way break
bye lynxx
they're a bit too twitchy these days, dc. hopefully it's something you can clarify...if they'll tell you
won't be here when you get back (was supposed to be gone at 4am but DC made me stay
bye lyn
*** writes letter to congressman about DC ***
did you actusally complete your contract, or did they terminate it?
hi everyone
i made you stay?
contract terminated due to the clearance
hello, andree
oh geez.. I have to play tennis in 6 hours..
nite all.. DC.. Best of luck buddy.. you deserve better and I hope it works out.
well not really DC was gonna leave but then you appeared and just wanted to commisserate
with you
g'night and thank you, ruru
i guess no exit interview then? (for feedback)?
night ru
thanks, Just, do try to get some sleep.
hi andree
gn ruru
there will be with my employer, but all CBP will tell my employer is Denied. I need to request the BI to see what's up.
i am sorry to read of what happened dc, can you fight back?
hi andree
meh...havent' had a job in almost 7 years...everyday's a saturday for me :(
i know they'd be happy to have me back, and i have a federal employment lawyer i met on a wine cruise last year, whom i'll contact once i have more data
i guess it comes under homeland security, so no access to info?
thk god I have a great hubby who provides...30 1/2 years now
tough fighting ghosts, dc. i sincerely hope thsat you are able to get this cleared up. imagine d.c. is a very small town when it comes to things like this..may make future gov't employment difficult
actually, DHS clearance is not part of DOD system, so most not closed to me.
just1mar, had no idea you were such a lady of leisure!
sigh...would rather be working kate...
that's a bit of ngood news. do they associate much? is it one big private boy's club?
I DO NOT eat BonBons and watch soaps tho... :)
nope, they do not
imean dod, and dhs
excellent...if they are adversarial, it may be to your advantage to go to other team...
just - why not?
i recently did not go back to DOD, mayhap should have. Ah, well :)
dc....thought you were a concert musician ...not just picture, seemed that you casme on later at night (like after performance)
cause I hate soaps and don't wanna get fat eating bonbons
perhaps dod door still ajar...any contacts still active?
sugar is poison
at least refined sugars
i am classically trained in violin and viola, and more diversly trained in piano. I started playing again of late. Haven't yet gotten back to the point of auditioning, but sholl be there in the next year
ooo nice DC
you are so talented dc
agree that day time tv is a wasteland just. thank god for the space channel...but bonbons...choclit's worth it..
this photo is me at a June retirement concert for the man who was our director when i was in Middle School, and whose wife was my private instructor
thank you, andree
my hubby owns a music store here in Montreal...meaning musical instruments
dc...now i'm really smiling....love to hear people following passions.
oh, neat, Just. I shall have to pay call when next i'm up there.
ugghhh to the space channel...hubby is always watching it
the gaseousness of Titan does not excite you, Just?
oh please do DC and let me know..will let him know...they not only have new intsruments but deal in used as well
i wish you every bit of luck in that endeavour...
like all working wemen ,I love the chance to watch a little daytime tv , its down time for me
who's slagging the space channel?????????????
lol that's not space that's The Universe...
love "the Universe" but most of space channel here in canada is garbage
if you find yourself in toronto dc, we have quite a nice concert hall...perhaps you'd like to attend?
what??????????
oh, that would be quite lovely, Kate. I've only been to a Niagara Falls in ON. I had family in Montreal growing up, so spent some time there.
just make sure you have your passport handy as it was your country that insisted in passport use between Canada and the US :(
oh really DC? whereabouts in Montreal?
actually, only to enter the US. Rules to enter CA did not change. Having been supporting WHTI/GOES/NEXUS, i do have good familiarity withe the requirements. http://getyouhome.gov
admit there's a little too much star trek...but good shows too...many are canadian that we now export world-wide(smiles smugly)
yes there are some good shows on the space station kate but I've seen him watching such garbage on there too ughhh
like stupid d movies gawddd such shit
people still being give one "pass"...and a pamphlet re:passports..unofficial 1 yr. reprieve?
Brossard, Longueuil, and just west of downtown.
fclinton was here a little while ago and he didn't know anything about it
nope Kate,,,,need a passport now
not at most ports, Kate. 1 June was a hard deadline.
oh south shore ?? west of downtown is westmount..
Passport, Enhanced Driver License/License du Conduire Plus, or Trusted Traveller Card (NEXUS/FAST) required to enter US for citizens of both countries.
chat going too fast...use to live in niagara falls, dc...perhaps you'd like to do a winery tour ..perhaps with a little shaw festivsal thrown in?
It's been a long time since i've been back to Montreal.
well here in Quebec you're better off having a passport than enhanced driver's permit
it's on our short list
why say you that, Just
cause for the price of an enhanced driver's permit...you may as well have a passport
ah, fair enough :)
oh....haven't been over in a while even though 1/2 family is amer. have pass. anyway...it's the u.s. folks that mostly don't have pass.
well if and when you decide to come...please let me know DC...will tell you all the wonderful places and eateries you'd want to visit
plus Montreal is sooo open to the gay community...there is section of downtown devoted to that :)
and take him to Quebec city justie...he'll swear he's in europe...not like montreal which is so cosmo...
we are extremely cosmopolitan
well old montreal is quite uniique too
My memories of Montreal are as fond as those i have of Barcelona
but quebec city has its own je ne sais quois...
yes that is true
there are some really cool things in old Montreal
when were you in spain?
1984-5
<very jealous>
so you lived there , rather than a vsac.?
1st yr of HS they stuck me in Spanish 2 - a language i've spoken since i was 6, after returning from Spain. Talk about an easy pass.
quite some time ago DC
We need to head there again - haven't been to the villa in a good while now. :/
left lots of time for fun thendidn't it?
indeed so, Just. We're working toward changing that, but life, and medical stuff been in the way.
morning, JC
I go to Mexico every winter...spanish and french are quite similar I find tho I speak french much better than I do spanish
Morning, Séain. :)
je pense que le francais est un peu plus dificil que l'espagnol.
hi again jc
et moi, je trouve que l'espagnol est plus dificile
lol
Hi, Just.
hi jc
i think that spanish is much harder...can't speak a word
I think Frency is easier actually, Séain.
hi jc!
Hi, Andree.
uno duos tres quatros lol
Catalan is neat, kinda halfway between the two.
Hi, Kate!
Erm - 'French', that is. Excuse my typing . . .
Or, is that typoing? :P
i guess it depends on which one learns first :)
they are arging in french whether french o rspanish is the more difficult language
exactly! and living here, well, it's le francais du quebec which is somewhat differnet than le francais du France
that's it for me, mar... maybe cervesa?
Yes, Kate . . . I read it, en francais. ;)
cerveza
mmmm always drinking Corona
very pretentious of me...sincerely sorry, jc
Pretentious, Kate? How's that? :/
when in doubt, use the Z! lol
ty dc...in us you get span. like we get french...even on sesame st...
'splainin' what you could read for yourself.....
depends where, Kate. New England - esp Maine - and Michigan and Northern New York do French.
i got fr. in buffalo public school, true
we had to watch Villa Alegre in school, among other PBS shows. I never watched Sesame Street, though i did see some bits of Plaza Sésamo in Spain.
phantom: ranunculaceous
Ahhh . . . d'abord je n'avais pas compris, mais maintenant, j'y suis. ;)
there are more bilingual signs (English/French) in Plattsburgh NY than there are in Montreal lol
very true that, Just, and south on the toll booths all the way to Albany, at least used to be.
now THAT'S funny, mar
hi BabRab
gonna say hi back to me today?
Good day, peeples
i'll say hello to you again mar
what a pretty-looking word, BabRab. Oooh, looked it up. Pretty meaning, too.
we peep, threrfore, we are
hi babrab
root is a flowering plant...what's it mean?
hi BR
meople/meeple is a word used in board gaming - a contraction of 'miniature people'
where are all these b wors, dont think i know 27
it means of or pertaining to buttercups
bu words andree...try anything and everything...will prob work
thank you dc...most heartily
any by words
meeple...kinda cute
so kate...why are you up so late every night doing this babble thing? (just wondering)

3 by's by 4,4,6
No, I'm here . . .
oops by 4,4 5 sorry
trouble sleeping. having fun escaping from reality. nice people. and not least obsession....TAKE YOUR PICK
Not for much longer, though . . .
Good morning/evening all. DC - a rare chance to say hello to you.
haz!!
hello, haz, long time no see.
look, haz came back!

Hello Ata!
I'm trying to decide where to take the mutt today
hi haz
hi ata
Hello all - yes, we'll blame time zones for not seeing each other dc.
hi ata. bring mutt to my place
Hello, Haz. I told the photographer about the comments, and he assures me this one is much better
you leaving us soon jc?
true, i'm not up much at this hr any more.
It is much better, BabbleRabble. If he messes up again, you must show him the door.
it ia ratherearly/late...depending which day you're working on (EST)
Although I have to say, his lighting technique on the nose could do with some attention.
how is tom doing by the way?
whose tom?
are all these photos family members BR?
So pleased I can rely on dc not to say 'who's tom?'
yours dc, sorry....he's the one slated for the surgery isn't he?
grammar does tend to slide...
indeed so. He's at work tonight, and the next three nights, then goes on FMLA/Short Term Disability through year's end.
i try to do my bit by using the apostrophe correctly...found that i'm unnaturally fond of contraction...?
there is an Ut5.12back Store Rd near here.
ohh I never use the apostrophe as it is outlawed here in Quebec
we have the apostrophe ss police here
so you'll have him all to yourself for a bit...home for x-mas and all...
lest instead of l'est - or does the law say it ought be le est?
Hi all, just lurking but popping in to say DC seain, whats up with all this clearance nonsense?
as long as it aint' english DC it can be whatever one wants it to be lol
i'll know in the coming weeks, and will update, red
did you here about the great mcdonald's uproar in P.Q. ? signs had to rem ove theapostrophe...no 's for possession en francais...
d'accord, Just
Ok, now going right back to bed. See ya all later.
sweet dreams, red
Bye red.
of course Kate, I mean, c'mon, I live here!
Hi and bye red
i'd plumb forgot about that, Kate. I do recall the Poulet Frie a la Kentucky signs, though.
Poulet Frit Kentucky PFC

such a tempest in a teapot...but do understand the attempt to preserve the language in more pure form...but they have to look out or they'll end up like latin. languages evolve. that's irrefutabble
bye dc
nite dc, it's been apleasure talking with you
Kate...if they wanna keep their language, they will. It's up to them. But to legislate against English or any other language, ain't gonna do it
note to self...typing lessons still required...
the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs back
typing 101
agree culture cannot be legislated, always thought that was dumb. the culture is in the heart and the kitchen...not the provincial halls of government
(was trying to be less than controversial...enjoy playing devil's advocate)
exactly kate!
but they haven't "grown up" yet...sigh...still waiting...
not so much of a problem in montreal, but...go further down river...boyo, you'd better be french!
Betty bought some butter but the butter was to bitter so Betty bought some better butter and put the better butter in the bitter butter and made the bitter butter better!

clue for du8 please
Plural for the pressurised du6/24
do you have du 6/24
no i dont
been raining here since 9p.m. gonna rain all day long... think there's a country and western song in there somewhere...
To be under du6/24 is to be under pressure, to be forced to do something
se haz's clue for 6/24
without the u, the du 6 would be a woman's garment with a bodice; pl
nothing wrong with country western, play them backwards and you get your love back and start winning at cards
thx haz
You're welcome, Andree.
we, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful. we have been doing so much, with so little for so long,
that now we are qualkified to do anything WITH NOTHING
lol andree
Good day all
Hello suefrad.
hi sue and bye all, i am going to get myself some dinner
hi sue
Bye Andree, enjoy your meal.
how dry I am, how wet I'll be if I dont find the bathromm key. I found the key, I found the door, but it's too late, it's on the floor.
ah, a little potty humour in the morning...and such a lovely rendition too
by andree
bye andree
ty. bye andree
must dive back into grid....have barely made aq dent in it so far
I hope I didnt offend you
not at all sue....knew another slightly diff. version...slightly messier too
lol
have been chatting for hours and not done a single word. have to go to lickety and can't see chat from ther...am in and out of babble page not gone. not ignoring. will be back in a bit
Trader, you still here?
i'm here sue
you dont have to go in and out of lickety, you can right click on the lickety link on the bottom and tell it to open to a different window. Then resize each window so you can see both of them at the same time.
i'll try. don't know crap about no computer stuff. thought that was something you could only do in babble expert. here goes nothing
after u open the new window, just go to the very top right hand corner of your window and if there is a double box, click it once so you can size the window to allow you to see both
well that waqs an abysmal failure...got window open...ontop of babble window, but have no idea how to resize...sigh
will try again now that i read your instructions...
not a failure, you learned how to open two windows
sometimes double box waqs ther, sometimes not...lots of clicking going on...clicked double box nothin happened
lol, if it is a double box that means it is maxed out, if it is single it is sizeable. when it is single, position your cursor on the side until your arrow becomes a double arrow, hold down the Left mouse button and drag it into the middle of the page. You can do the same for the top and bottom.
here's a cute 2 min video for your trouble http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =SUNmLuNdiL8&NR=1
okay sue, but it doesn't compress it, from the right, th chat disappears?
yes, unless you make your windows smaller.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rb8aOz y9t4&NR=1 (and a cartoon)(if u like thi one there are 2 more, same artist, same cat)
min your windows by clicking on the Underscore in the top right corner, they will clear the screen by putting your windows on the task bar at the bottom. then when you are back on your desktop, you right click, left click on PROPERTIES, click on the SETTING icon, then slide the "screen resolution to a bigger number.
how are you putting your words into lickety?
manually, copy/ paste from babble list. then i hand write a bit of the list of words still missing with word before and after for ref. and the points. then back to babble to try again...
still digesting your last instructions...must get some tea. brb
Kate: Look at the bottom of Licketys List for "Bulk Add" instruction
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rb8aOz y9t4&NR=1 (a cartoon to amuse you while i'm gone)
there is a cool new feature. yea, then copy the entire list and past it into the bulk add
Hello all, i`m not happy...my internet went off last night & i could not complete the grid..first time in two months :-(
Poor Zooz! that happened to me once - very annoying
read that a while ago. no idea what clipboard is. swear i've bee through all the stuff in top, left file.edit.....tools etc. but no cigar
brb parched
when you cut and past, it puts the data into the CLIPBOARD
bbl, I am stricking out on words
fireworks
congrats anike
WTG Anike
back sue congrats anike
can't find properties...i know it's somewhere, i've seen....probably just tooooooooooo tired, thank you very much for all your time and effort. i will copy/paste your instrucyion into my e-mail so i can read them again later when i can see straight
so that's a clipboard??????????why don't they just say so. looking fir something that saays HERE'S the CLIPBOARD, DIUMMY. click for instrucyions....
:-)
hi zooz. sorry about your tragic loss. woill you be okay?
I think i will survive..lol..just annoying as i had no control over it.
what did ylou do with the extra 30 minutes you had, since you wouldn't be using it for COMPLETING puzzle?
spent the time TRYING to get the internet to work..only to find out this morning that it was the ISP`s who had a fault :-)
it's not nice to upset zoomzoom's routine...bad, bad internet provider....you should sue for mental anguish
Now thats an idea :0)
a truly tragic state of affairs zooz. it's still a bit eaqrly, but perhaps a small gin might be in order...to combat all that frustration?
Well it is not too early 11:31am but i think a nice cup of tea will suffice.
was there much gnashing of teeth? beating of breasts? tearing out hair? you poor thing
Not at 03:00am no..just came home from being with friends..and wanted to finish the grid..still all back to normal for now(fingers crossed) will complete this grid.
zooz - is your icon exercising its tongue? intriguing ... not sure whether it's compelling or repelling
best get to it then..before the gremlins return ( knock wood)
lol, my son got me that icon :-)
we'll have him explain, shall we?
I think it is his rebellious nature that comes out in the icon, i`m sure he found the icon amusing.
Today's icon is "favorite words" :-)
Morning, all!
Hello Une :-)

ick ick
Someone has been badly harrassing me at school I have just booted them of fb
I thought you were keeping it all as evidence?
Yes I have the main thingie but I want to delete all her comments of her pages

Ata also if you still have comments on a deleted persons photos they can see yours

Hi boo
Yes indeed.
Ata, love the new Hobbit pix! In my mind she's running slo mo with Chariots of Fire playing in the background!
*grins* aren't they fab? I was lying on the lawn as she was barrelling towards me from various bits of the garden!
cool! :-)
I still loved when you returned home the death stare they gave you
I really didn't quite realise how much the ears move
such a happy baby!!!
How old is Hobbit?
she's 7 1/2
she really is a happy little dog, and I loved taking those pics cos they really show just how happy and gorgeous she is
awww. I loves the little bits of gray on her nose
she's going so grey now
Its just the muzzle I love. My parents dog is like that
she's been going grey on her muzzle since she was about 2. very prematurely greying
I haven't scanned my pc for viruses for 2 weeks and it found 140 tracing cookies
OH and the b.f has been mostly awesome

Mostly yes. He bought me chocolate and vodka and has been very caring
wonderful! chocolate and vodka is good
He has been so sweet.

Your Flag is England i thought you were USA
oh, yes, i live in the USA, but ... if you can't be british, be as british as you can!
very true
does it still count as deja vu if the reason you feel it is probably because you've done the same thing so many times before?
yes
yep
hey ata!
so what does that say about me being british and moving to america? :P
Why would you want to do that Ata?
you're one of those upstart rebels
*i* am a loyalist.
i think that "midbuy" should be a word. "as I was handing over my credit card, I stopped in midbuy the strategically placed display caught my eye."
Hi TO
because the people I want to be with ar ein America, so .... :)
Hi Owl!
what about house and hubby and pets and stuff
not to mention midhorse, midbud, midbutt

tu 5/16 and tu 6/27 - any clues please
oh my.

I decided that that was not a viable situation

don't have those yet gran, sorry
t + neither a b**** or seller be

Thanks bubba - and finished!
not sure yet. between 3 and 6 months hopefully
congrats gran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
big step, ata.
two big steps actually.
well gee! have a layover in hartford or prov or boston so we can meet up :)
Didn't realise it was this bad Ata. Sorry hun.
yep. and can't wait lol
WTG gran!
I'm thinking of flying over to Boston / NY with Hobbit so that she only has 5 hours in the hold
what about silly?
there is now a pets only airline where they can fly in cabin
her too!
Ata also i hope you have some where safe and warm to go and if he is being a burke then so be it
Good morning/afternoon all. Don't let Ata fool you with all this talk. It's the authorities who have caught up with her again.
well if you need any assistance making arrangements in this area, for a rental car or something, or someone to give you a ride from point A to B, let me know
hehe haz
Hi HAz yes i think so too :D
Hi Hazel!
hi haz
brb laundry calls
*grin*
*avoided laundry today*
Hello! Either that or she's got a Special Mission.
I'd rather spend all the time driving across the US and give the animals a 5 hour flight, than subject them to a 10 hour flight to Seattle
Ata were do you wanna end up?
oooo like the idea of a special mission
somewhere that's in the grid today :)
hi again
hi andree
Secret handshakes and codes - you could incorporate them in the knotwork pictures.
hi Andree
Hi Andree
Hello Andree.
ata on the run again!
I'm afraid so, Andree.
cluez for the 8s and the 9 plz
could i have a hint for the so7/28 that isn't part of a combo?
nope
i only have the combo one so far hursh - didn't know there was another, le sigh
as9/54 - the men who work in the liquorice section at Bassett's.
movie - the 9 is an as9, - oh haz beat me. ;-)
so + flower pl
thanks lady :)
yw
ty lady
another 8 is a du 8 movie - pl of du 6
ta wolvie
and haz
You're welcome, mm.
I don't have the remaining 8 yet, still looking
there are 2 du8?
tx wolvie!
no
just one ata
as, du, and se
yw une
a du movie? never heard of that!
ahhhh - ty hurshy
lol ata
not sure if you're kidding or not...
is that when you're under du6 to stay for the wholef ilm even though it's crap?
wolvie was talking to movie(man)
yes, but I really like your definition, ata LOL
this is where we learn the value of commas
:-D
oh! duh *tired*
oh good grief. Look what happens when you forget just one time. lol
confusion reigns!
well, I have 96 left and I am going to take a break. have fun guys.
Bye Wolvie.
clue for the se8 plz
se8 - plural of se7/28 - begins like a novel or programme in parts, ends with consumed food
why do you have a large weightlifter as an icon, haz?
ta haz
bye wolvie
It should have changed - I'm seeing Spangle. The weightlifter was for yesterday, to illustrate steroids. How not to...
later, wolvie!
i see spangle
I'm only seeing Spangle . . .
i see spangle
wah! I want to see Spangle to!
You're supposed to eat cookies and clear up caches, but maybe not advisable under present circumstances.
*chuckle*
i see spangle.. it unnerves me if i do not. but i can quit this game any time...
eat cookies? I wouldn't dare :p
hey, i do want to meet hobbit and sily - never heard a cat mi5 or a dog bark with a british accent!
It was only after I typed the cookies thing that I realised. Moving swiftly on..
hobbit has a very distinguished woof
*goes to fridge for choc chip banana bread*
but not half as much as Spangle
<--------- very distinguished bark.
that looks *really* funny with the weightlifter. you're pointing to his butt
LOL
She can bark in three octaves. It's the Welsh in her, wonderful singers.
hey ata - there is a new immigration program, have you heard?
and she can howl, can't she?
Absolutely.
a new one *groan* I'm having enough difficulty understadning the current ones!
hobbit doesn't howl
an exchange program. you can only come in if posh goes back. otherwise the west coast won't balance ;)
No one wants that person
You don't want to keep Posh? How come?
pos/ata posh/ata...
That generous smile? That natural look?
please send her back, I don't want her in the same continent again!
:D
Would she be sent by small parcel air mail?
that nutlike tan
hehe
herin LOL!!!
She just frightens me
She has her own tan artist. She needs a new optician.
thought I read recently she wants more kids
will need a shipping container for her handbags alone
And interrupt her fashion career?
We have Posh? Posh has kids? Gee, I just can't seem to keep current.
I thought she said she didn't. who knows!
who knows, maybe to have someone else carry it for her
When the newspapers can't think of another story, they raise the prospect of her wanting more children.
maybe jon & kate could donate one or two of theirs
and jordan's definitely not pregnant
The same trick works for Madonna, Angelina Jolie etc.
oh puh-LEASE
Jordan is definitely up there with words I must not say in public
jordan?
kate as view substitue co host it boggles the mind
Just when you thought she couldn't get any tackier, she does.
pass the emesis basin TO
Esprit - Jordan - a public embarrassment.
she now has the ugliest boyfriend in the world
Her shortest book would be 'Dignity'
Jordan = dreadful celebrity they haven't managed to export to us yet, Esprit.
well ocotmom looks somewhat like posh around the eyes and cheekbones...she won't miss a kid or two
in UK haz?
ah
only one name? I will have to google
Yes, UK, though she tried to 'conquer' the States.
Take a wee drink first, Esprite.
Esprit*
is she a singer?
hello vi and jean btw
could she be any worse than winehouse?
she tries
Hello, TO and all! =D
night All i just drifted off to sleep on the couch
Winehouse has a talent that she's wasting. Jordan has false chest as6/18 and a shrewd business brain.
and an ugly boyfriend
ty haz i had neglected that plural
As you can gather, Ata and I aren't fans.
night herein
Good morning everyone
oh, I have a keen sense of the obvious . . . I picked right up on that
and good night Herin
hi mom!
but omg have you *seen* her latest, Haz? He looks like someone you'd run away from on a dark night
No problem, TO.
how many words are in the puzzle
But then, so does she.
{{TO}} good morning
Good night, herin.
253 narnia
TY.
Hello mom, narnia.
good afternoon, Haz
Hi Narnia
{{mom}} long time no see
ah, this is a rare moment at home. I have been spending my days at my parents as mom has had shoulder replacement surgery
Did the surgery go well?
good morn babblers
hello narnia and afflamed
the shoulder surgery was fine, Haz. However, there is nerve trouble and she has no use of her fingers. She is have hand therapy as well as shoulder therapy. The doctor is hopeful the fingers will get better.
good morning Afflamed
having*
oh my. i had not even heard that shoulders were being replaced.
enjoying the chaos of hood tocoast, afflamed? or is that tomorrow?
I hope she continues to improve, Mom.
thank you so much, Haz.
ackkkk im staying off the roads
most locals in seaside arent big hood to coast fans
Is she a good patient or does she want to be doing more than she should?
flame where are you?
yes TO, it is amazing.
She is a very good patient. Mom would like to be doing more but she is doing as the doctor orders
best wishes for a speeady recovery for her
thank you so very much TO
best friend has to try and drive from astoria down to canno beach tomorrow. HAHAHAHAHA
Good for her - it must make things easier for you if you're not having to struggle with her trying to do too much too soon.
oh no Haz, she is not liking having things done for her but she is accepting it
i have a patient also: my 1 yr old puppy who jumped on my old male dog at 2am and scared him so he laid open the puppys face.:((
oh no! is the pup ok?
oh geez, Afflamed. I hope he is okay
i held together the laceration from 2am - 9am till i cud get him to the vets and into surgery
do you go to Bayshore?
12 stitches later.... hes attached to my leg lol he'll be ok, but hes giving the old dog a wide berth again
I go to Dr Goza, hes the ultimate best
wheee! got a 9 in the first 4 words;)) morning everyone;)
Poor puppy.
hes very sad and clingy
crosshair is awarded the Bacon award for Babbling excellence.
Dr Goza? oh I've met him. He wanted to put down a puppy we rescued because we couldn't find his owner
Ive had a zoo as far back as i can remember, thus many many vet bills, and Dr Goza is by far the least expensive Ive ever come across
good morning Crossy. Care to share the first two letters of the 9?
as
thats unusual, hes a pet lover that typically saves under the most unusual conditions
thank you, crossy
He has helped me thru some really bad situations with hurt animals
np:))
interesting ... i've always heard opposite, but I'm glad to hear otherwise
my cat was run over by a van and split from neck to gut and he saved him after 48 hours of work: 114 dollars
that sentence made no sense lol
~~Got it~~ thank you
wow! good for him!
114?!! wow!
np mom:))
people who are team Goza are totally TEAM GOZA
hi cross!
that is quite a bargain Afflamed. It cost just about that much for simple things here at a vet
howdy Y.O
we've been hanging around Bayshore over the last few weeks, Sheila's been constantly looking after our cat that has acute kidney failure. She's a star
T.O even
when that same cat after 10 years of love had a heart attack Dr Goza helped himm go and took care of him for me for free. I was devastated
is bayshore in warrenton? pope?
well my babble buddies, mom just telephoned. Time to get off my ar** and head to her house. It was so good to see all of you again. Take care. {{Hugs}}
You too, Mom. Take care driving.
yep pope and kilponen
bye mom.. good luck.
thanks Haz, I will. She is just 2 minutes away.
thanks TO, bye for now
I took that same cat when he was a kitten for his first round of shots to the warrenton vet and it was 165 dollars for 2 shots and a 2 min look over, I was like WHAT? 165? STFU.
I can hear noises in the kitchen - husband is starting to put away shopping so I'd better go and help. Back later.
jinx just had 3 days in hospital there, daily blood work-ups, all sorts of kidney stuff, IV fluids constantly, and 2 consultation charges, and it was about $400
the only other Dr I accept is the one in Jeffers Gardens, Dr schlattery or something like that, hes really sweet
laterm haz.
which is still cheaper than it would be here lol
I'm not convinced about Brad Pope, but Sheila Kilponen is a truly excellent vet
aea what you just said would be 2 thousand here
ata even
I cant stand pope. He and I have had exchanges in his office and out. Hes pompous and full of himself. Ugh.
oh - that $400 also included a month's worth of meds and IV lines etc
easily.
id keep him
yeah, I don't like him much. Sheila is the star there
any dh words?
the first night jinx was in hospital and touch and go, Sheila stayed all night with her and phoned us every few hours to update us. she really goes beyond what she needs to
My neighbors across the street, their dog was hit by a truck one night and stuck under the tires and dragged 25 ft, front nerve dmg, missing skin everywhere, 2 broken legs I was like oh that dogs gone, dr Goza, middle of the night 2 operations and under 200 dollars
no owl
ty joanne
and that damn dog is still alive outside barking right now lmao
yw
that was very kind of her, you can tell a real pet lover
looool
all vets should be those - not like Dr Pope!
phantom "rheostat"
I thought that too, crossy
and autoroute
when i was breaking down in the office telling fred bye Dr Goza stayed with me and was very consoling, i just love the way he cares, it was so admirable. Our shelter here is a no kill shelter....BUT that term is negotiable as Ive known them to make exceptions.
I have to think he knew something about that puppy. Ive known goza to keep strays in the office till he found a home. Hes a sucker for them. do u know his story with his kids?
yes, me too. omg, I came across the wildlife rescue place up by the fairgrounds a few months ago. *they* are amazing
his kids rings a vague bell, but can't remember, no
did they take over the old shelter place?
his daughter was murdered on seaside beach by a couple local losers one night as they were hopped up on drugs and wanted to see what it ws like to kill someone
omg
one of the killers was found and in jail, but the gun weilding one is on the run with help from his dad who owns a rest. in seaside
http://www.coastwildlife.org <- wildlife rescue centre
which restaurant????!!!
wheee! first half of this grid just flies!
then his other son is a bad bad addict and has broke into the clinic a few times to steal vet drugs as well as breaking into his dads home to steal for money
I cant remember but his nickname is rocco
how charming
one of his vet assts just drowned on the 21st in vancoucer bay. his life is riddled with tragedy yet he still perseveres
urf urf thats awful
his whole crew is like a family. They are a young ragtag bunch, as he is a certified teacher so he takes on students to keep his prices down, but he is known for his sugical reconstruction abilities statewide
<--- TEAM GOZA :))
loool really? :P
Hi Babble pals!
howdy beach!
tessari
hi beach!
caught afflamed playing with the monkeys;)
lol! I would too. I was that kid that brought every animal i found home
the raccoon was the only one that maybe i shouldnt have :-//
wife drives me nits that way,no matter where we go,no matter what we do,she find some injured wildlife;/
toss
we had a pet coon,named it bandit
lol thats me too
about 2 months ago, we rescued a 2 month old fawn up by Klatscanie and brought him back to Astoria to the wildlife rescue place. that was an interesting journey
to the pb with ye afflamed
lol! did it tear apart ur car!
rea;;y! how on earth did you get it there?
i kno i suck. i get all messed up with where my cursor is, at least it was an easy one and all you pros already got it
check my pic ;)
you HELD it?
for 40 minutes!
my legs looked like I'd been in a boxing match
was the doe dead?
yep :(
and he was really good most of the time, he fell asleep with his head on my shoulder
awww its so cute! Rosmall is smiling in his pic! I love it when dogs smile. Every day when i come home I greet 3 smiling faces
ata we have so many deer here. driving at dusk and dawn is tricky.
this one was *really* lucky. he was trying to cross a big road full of logging trucks
In cltskanie, I know exactly where too. 2 friends of mine were in a bad accident there. a logging truck veered across the road and hit their truck.
ackk CLATSKANIE lol
the seer pop is so heavy here that insurance comanys will not pay out if you do damage to your vehicle by swerving to miss a deer!
yeah, that place that's impossibel to spell
deer even
wow!
typo city
thats me
you have lots of psychics then? ;)
Im back again. could I get a clue for the second ar 6/18?
its ok My BF makes fun of all my typos - dont u dear?
but they'll pay for the damage if you hit it instead?
one i have is like the first different last vowel
dont hit a elk = totaled car
yes they will ata
there are elk in england? pardon my ignorance.
nope, no elks
Im in america
big deer though, especially in scotland
thanks, Owl.
i got mad at them and said "what if it was a human?" do i have to hit someone to get paid out?!!
a big red deer stag would be similar size
that sucks! exactly!
I dont think so, werent louis and clark english? they saw an elk for the first time when they discovered warrenton
we get moose up by my da,s place:)
ok i am confused. thought you were talking vets practices common to both you and ata. must be time for a break
we were
ata comes here alot
hi all
I was talking about the vet practice we use when in Astoria :)
Ata, your icon is just beautiful.
you're not as confused as you think you are!
thank you Annie. the fawn was just *adorable*
lovely pic of the deer ata
a picture on her site is where i live :))
howdy jmc
hi je!
I am having trouble coming up with a pic for my favorite word
Ata, I see the hapiness on your face holding the fawn.
Hi jmc
I was having the *best* time. Apart from getting my legs ripped to shreds by the stabby little hooves
hello all, help with first se7 pls
it was very good of you to do it ata
Where were you taking the fawn?
hi peri
how many people can say they held a deer fawn for 40 minutes and got to ut5ly adore him!
i held one;)
to the local wildlife rescue centre
his mom was dead
Ata, You have a wonderful heart.
want some fun?try delivering a baby bear to a wildlife rescue centre!
thing shat all over the back of my truck;)
Living in the city does not give one great experiences like that.
I defy anyone to look at that baby and leave him to get run over! there was another couple helping catch him, but they couldn't take him cos they had a dog in their car
oh yeah - that deer thing crapped all over me too!
Oh ya! I was telling you my friends that were hit by the log truck: their trk was totaled and one of them had all kinds of broken ribs and shoulder and his partner got out of it with scrapes and bruises. The seriously injured driver still has problems driving down that street
quite a experience eh ata? lol
I couldnt leave a fawn. Not with those eyes/
can say that again! utterly amazing, but very surreal
that particular road is bad bad im surprised that dear wasnt struck
exactly! and they *squeak*! they sound like dogs' squeaky toys
best friend had to run out in front of a logging truck to make sure he slowed down while the other guy grabbed the bratling
lol i bet that was awesome - but he was missing his mommy :((
sart
over seas i imagine you have the spotted type,even when they are grown,or the red deer
CRAP! at least it isnt a word :))
we have red, roe and fallow deer here, and pere david deer that were imported
god thing too as i use it all the time
Im totally in teh doghouse arent I?
the good thing was the rescue centre had 5 other fawnlings of his age, so immediately he would have got a new group of brats to play with
yup
I was amused to find in that in Guatemala they had a refuge for White Tail Deer which most people around here would gladly give away to them.
Back again.
afflamed!
hi haz
Hi Jm!
hi haz :)
hi haz
Welcome back, Hazel. Groceries all put away?
I've put away shopping and done the ironing. See the halo?
what a good Haz
lol ata,when we were moving our fawn,we made him curl up,belted him in on the right rear side and took the centre seat belt and gave it a few turns round all four ankles..nice easy trip that time
Ironing is next on my agenda.
*puts on sunglasses to avoid the glare from hax's halo*
And I'm a good influence as well, as proven by Annie.
crossy looks,fearfully into the doorway of the kitchen at the dishes....
what a *good* idea! this fawn was obviously still in shock from a lot of stuff. he was so docile.
ugh haz dont remind me, i have housework awaiting me. Tal has to go to a picnic so Ill do my cleaning then
I need to do filing.
crossy, Leave that doorway immediately.
yup,dont let them get thier wits about them first!
I am currently forced to wash my dishes immediate so the ants don't cover them
lol jmc,i dont have problems with filing anymore,i have a scanner,a box of flash keys and a big sniny new paper shredder right in my computer nook;)
je: ants GONE
I saw something in the paper yesterday that said something about drawing a chalk line at the door and ants would cross it? No idea if it works.
ANTS! the bane of my existence (wish i cud spell check here)
that sounds like even more work to me crossy
it does not
but once your caught up jmc,its the only way to go
35 left for later. bye, dear babblers
I use cinnamon which has worked for just fine for year (and still keeps the ants out of the cat food)
but these ants are marching around the house like they own it
bye annie
Bye Annie!
bye annie
i used little traps with sugar syrup and boric acid
I feel your pain, jm... I have a ton of them, here
bye annie
well that solves that problem crossy I will never get caught up
Im always afraid of my pets getting into any pesticide type trap
I found some boric acid and have put it out. I really dont need to lure the little buggers
lol jmc,i have 20 or so little flash jeys all on a ring all code marked in a single desk drawer;))
this has been the worse year for ants for me ever -- I have nightmares about them
it is raiing again and NO ANTS! je it ws amazing how quickly it worked and no carcasses
well I thought I was getting ahead of them with the boric acid but i had dinner guests last night
Good afternoon everyone.
howdy elder
this summer has been fairly antless, i attribute it to constant overcast/rainy days
hi elder
Elder! Lovely to see you!
well actually three in a puddle of syrup don't know how that happened hi elder
one of them brought a delicious zucchini chocolate cake and we left it on the counter for 15 minutes
hi elder
Good to see familiar faces.
oh no how awful
when we walked back in to the kitchen it was covered with about a million of them---I was so embarrased
How have you been, elder?
je: terro liquid ant baits
I even had to tell my veggi friend that I wasn't sure the food was vegetarian since I was fairly sure there were dead ants in it lol!
on line folks say it is boric acid with sugar syrup.
I try to avoid poisons
boric acid is as toxic as I can stand
Haz, I have had a few weeks of being poorly, first my back, then throat infection, followed by flu , then another throat infection. I have tried to pop in sometimes but could not sustain sitting here. Still a bit wobbly but making good progress.
boric acid is not poison the strictest sense
I even have to kill ants while I babble because they are on my computer keys!
compared to insecticide
Poor elder! I'm glad to hear you're getting a little better.
glad you are feeling better elder
je you jmust have a nest somewhere outside
Your back is an ongoing problem, isn't it?
I have missed so much chat so hope all is well with you and other Babblers.
I'm fine - I'm sure you'll get caught up eventually with all the news.
yes Haz. most times manageable but every so often it lets me down badly.
OMG, you certainly have my sympathies JMC - ants are truly a nightmare
I remind myself how benign they compared to when the termites attacked my house! lol
It's got to be so frustrating. I've had mild back problems and dread them getting more frequent or more severe. Are you having physio or anything?
ar6 pls
ooh elder and haz a bad back is a terrible thing
elder - if your problem is chronic have you considered a pain management clinic? I went to one several years ago for back pain and it chgd my life
ar6 = to get up but add a vowel
*gives haz and elder back support pillows for their chairs*
ty
(I'm sitting up nice and straight)
Haz, as with all body parts we don't realise how efficient they are until they let us down. I do periodically have injections but the relief does not last long term but lovely for a few months.
make sure you have a curve in your back haz
I know. How often do you notice swallowing until you have a sore throat?
#243 on the list of things that drive crossy crazy! every time,and i mean every time i go in the fridge,the mild container has 1/4 inch left in the bag! nobody will ever put a fresh one in! i swear they would all walk around here for a week dying of thirst before they would put a new bag of milk in the darn container!!!..pant!..ok im better now:)
I actually had to quit going to meeting for worship (church) for about 6 onths because I couldn't sit that long
I actually take a low dose time release morphine pill every morning and i know it sounds scary but it seriously allows me to function
Haz. Sitting properly can be difficult when your in discomfort so well done you.
*months
It's funny, you imagine that sitting would ease things, but it's actually the most painful sometimes.
lord I would get tired of standing and think *i'll sit down* and halfway down to the chair I would *lord no@ this hurts too much*
Foetal position works well for me most times.
I could only stand or lie on my back for nearly a year
i find laying on the ground with my legs up flat on teh wall is the best - forces a flat back for stretching
been there elder,when i herniated 3 disks in my spine i spent 4 weeks slowly walking in circles and taking codiene
usually you want your back to curve in like in the cat pose in yoga
back to try and get a few more words in before lunch..
but my back is unusual - 3 curves, 7 fused vertebrae, missing cartiledge, and now arthritis in the lower half of spine
howdy wolvie
three crossy! OMG!
hi wolvie
ouch afflamed!
hi wolive
whoa - some serious back problems here. sympathies to you all
then the parts in question calcified and moved away from the nerve bundle..avoided fusion by a hair
makes me want to take an advil just talking about it
I hear ya jmc
Crumbs, Cross and afflamed - painful !.
its pretty ouchy, but I have an ongoing relationship with opiates :)) they moderate the pain and allow me to act like a normal person
I got three shots and then did physical therapy and did sit for 6 months
lol want to comapre scars now? biggest scar gets a cookie!:)))
back issues are so common - its a humans weakest point and we always do too much in our youth
I think i would get to know opiates myself in these instances. :-)
LOL!
mmmmmm opiates
oo ooo I have a ceasarian scar I bet I win!
I have one of those jmc. ;-)
i have a single scar from my left ankle to mid thigh;))))
haha that bad part is when you aer experiencing pain you dont get any of the fun high associated with them. i dont even feel the morphine any more
Ditto - faded to nothing.
and I have a 5 inch scar on my face/neck :-P beat that
that might take the cake, er cookie, crossy
i have 3 ceasarians but then had tummy surgeries to pretty it up
no no - i'll let you take the prize on that one jmc
sounds like cross wins to me! lol
ya JMC wins
my scar is 22 inches long;) any else or does crossy get the cookie?:))
or haz. ;-)
oh crud i just read cross! that is big!
I have to point it out to people they did such a good job tucking it next to my ear
ok JMC gets special mention for placement
*hands crossy the cookie*
sounds right afflamed
got ran over by a car in 79 and the bumper de-boned my leg like cleaning a fish
TO has seen me and I bet she didn't see the face scar
ouch!
ackkk!!!!
send her a real one on facebook, lol
ouch!
ouch indeed. and EEK!
I have a nice 7" scar running across my back between my shoulder blades
ooo JMC - Facelift?
my first year in law school with no insurance they thought I had cancer of the face nerve
but enough scars and war wounds..wernt we talking bout bacon??
ata - ouch
lol - fried parts it sounds like anyways
bacon ...... (drool)
ata - another ouch
lol we were talking about ants and backs and then scars
it looks like a long trilobite
but bacon sounds good to me
i could of sworn there was bacon there:))
lol what a description ata!
ouch ata
it really does though! it's really funny
ok - i dont get breakfast till i do that dishes, so off i go, BBIAB when im done and have a plate in front of me.
there was chocolate zucchini cake (with a few ants)
crossy offers ata a ham and cheese onelette to make her scar better;)
bye afflamed - nice to meet you
make sure you bring enough to share afflamed
does she rub it on the scar crossy?
mmmmmm ty! its a silly scar. went to the local dr to get a tiny lump removed and ended up looking like I'd been stabbed across my back!
lol no she eats the omelettes and take a handfull of ty #3,s lol
;-0 - I was thinking stab, but didn't want to guess. Glad it was something else!
a handful of what??
it very much looks like it!
was it an agressive leison ata?
Hi jmc and cross
howdy boo
hi boo!
hi boo
crossy has hit the first babble wall;((
no! it was just a lump of tissue that had calcified, but he had to dig a lot deeper and wider than he had first thought, even he was quite impressed at the end result!
I hit one this morning crossy
I live at the wall
wow ata! ive heard of women turning to stone but...lol
I recommend the list and morewords for scaling that wall. Lots of unusual words.
I have no idea how it ended up so large, but it did. And it hurt for a looong time!
wow ata - glad it all came out ... lol crossy
paypal too
I bet it did
and it was going so good too! first 100 flew by;((
Yes, paypal for clue rewards.
i just called up lickety's haz - way earlier than ususal. :-)
that would be good, I do paypal
oo haz you cannot imagine how your saying that makes not so bright me feels
is there a single person here who has a *good* back???
You've made a wise choice, Wolvie.
ty haz. ;-) the h's made me do it
wolvie quitely states - I have a good back
the h's are abyssmal
You need either a vast vocabulary, an imaginative mind, or access to resources to finish this.
so I'll be fine :)
yes they were- pesky little devils
really? the H? I have been do so well in the H. *confused look*
you mean we need to be BR. ;-)
of course I only have half of them
lol jmc - you must be the bomb!
Oh dear...Michelle Obama is wearing a very unfortunate dress....
like normal?
I thought the b words took the biscuit.
or sprite
hi car - hard to believe - she always makes anything she wears look good. :-)
LOL haz
i am watching the Kennedy service...she looks like a big present...her dress has a huge black bow on it.
the b's i actually got without the list. Very odd
you have to be kidding -- I have gotten through maybe two grids without lickety's list
monkeys were key tho
hi car
Good morning all.
IMaginative mind = monkeys.
I've gotten down to 86 with no list...very good for me!
a good back..what is that?..ive heard of them
yaa for car!!
very good car!
I don't know ... someone must have one!
very good car - I went to the list at 96
well that explains a lot to me haz -- I lack imagination
my sister has one
Very unusual for me! Especially with vowels!
I have a good back - so there is at least one
yeah! wolvie
yay wolvie
me too. it's my ribsand cartilage that are torn today
yes - I am feeling quite thankful right now. :-)
I generally have a good back, but it does get sore when I do too much. I do have a bad groin though...
what happen TO?
wow TO - what happened
pulling a shrubby weed last sunday when i heard a pop in my chest
TO...I told you to lower that trapeze bar in the bedroom!
hurts worse since i went to doctor
ouch!
oh man - big time ouch
owie
I did that once too TO...pulled the cartilage off my chest wall and ribs...it is a pain almost like that of childbirth...but it lingers for quite a while.
BTDT to my dismay
but of course. always the way.
it will pass. hopefully before i do
so far I have managed to avoid that!
TO...are you able to lie down to sleep or do you need to be propped up?
can lie down.
Oh good. That is so important!
it takes some time unfortunately. glad you can lie down TO
it was feeling better until he manipulated it
not as bad as disc problems or back prblems
Hang in there TO. Don't overdo it!
yep. they always test it out, don't they? ;-)
oh no chance of that on today's agenda since it involves housework!
Enough for a while. See you all you another time. Bye for now.
okay I am off to the bank and the farmers market

Wow! Susan Graham has an amazing voice!
Most likely Crossy! It IS good entertainment! LOL!
Well, crossy, if you believe his name, he's both omniscient AND holds an advanced degree.
i imagine his finger is always hovering over the kick button;)

Funny...I am not a political person at all...usually stay out of any and all chats on politics on this site and all others...
just thought I would make mention of it....now i remember why I stay out of it!
Good policy, car. Political discussions usually descend into slap fighting and hurt feelings here. I rescind my previous comments in the interest of world peace.
can't stop the haters, car
No...everyone is entitled to their opinion...I really believe that! People just get so hateful and it gets ugly really fast.
So, how is your day going, otherwise, car
the same rules apply here as to my bartending days..no polotics,no relegion,but you can talk about sex all you like;)
Not getting too much done! will vamp up the energy later on though!
damn typos
Crossy! A former bartender!!!!??? No wonder I love you so much! Same here!
crossy make car a home made long island iced tea from scratch;))
Yes please! A double!
none of that pre mix crap:))
NEVER!
What are you going to make, car? Let's have a cocktail mix-off!
lol i have never mae a double long island iced tea...might get arrested lol
I'll make mind erasers...that way no one will remember which drink is which and which tastes better!
Get Gordon Ramsey in here. We can call it "Hell's Watering Hole".
long island iced tea..1/2 oz of each gin,rum,vodka,tripple sec,3/4 fill glass with coke,top with pink lemonade and crushed ice,garnish with lemon wedge
Mind eraser....kahlua, vodka, soda water....drink through a straw...no worries!
imagine thatas a double car!!
I'm a big girl with a big thirst....and a lot of housework to do today...bring it on!
lol 3 of my iced teas and you cant feel your legs;)
Just realized I only have 16 words to go...but I can't seem to find any of them!
First bu 4 please?
Hubby just ripped out a door frame and is now shop-vaccing. Damn! He's manly!
NM! Monkeyed it!

Naturally.
And just so y'all know...I stil have NOT figured out the second ER 5/10 clue!

No shti!
My sister-in-law is dislexic. So, I bet she would see that paragraph as a foreign language, Crossy.
I, however, underdoos it prefectyl.
*underdoost* rather.
Clue for the last RO please...ro 6/18?
fireworks
Yeah Josh!
plural of ro5.10 before the one who makes fruit go bad
Ro6/18: that which putrifies.
quite possible judi
TY!
9 to go...but need a break! Have a good day all!
Now hubby is about to hang a new closet door. I'm all a-quiver.
Judi...are there children around? If not...bring your "handyman" a cold glass of something....have it drip all over you and he has to lick it up....OH MY! Now I better go!
Car! No children. Although the pets could suffer some psychological trauma.
Put little blindfolds on them!
Or leave Animal planet on in another room...they will stay occupied!

ty for the clues
whoo hoo boo
ty lynxx
beautiful icon and writeup, jmc
ty I learned sign when my husband went deaf and I still like it
it is great to know when you want to leave a party or yell at your kid in public
one of those things I would still like to learn some day
it is different in each country
British sign uses two hands for their alphabet for example
that makes it even harder then!
really, how odd
American Sign is closer to French sign because Galludet came from France to help the deaf
Interesting, I didn't know that.
when the people went first to England to get help the British said they would help for a price
I have the as8, what are the other 2?
I wonder about dutch then... I believe I have seen both onehanded and twohanded.
the French said here is how ours works and let me send my son with you to help establish it
Pluralise that one for the as9, doxy1lover.
perhaps the french influence up through belgium eh?
du8 and se8
I have the 9. I want to know the other 2 8-letter words
ok - I am looking in the A2Z wordfinder for a 5 letter TY word and of the 17 offered none work :((
could very well be, oral dutch is a mixture of many languages too
that is the nicest story about the french i know! lol
Which one, afflamed? Is it the ty5,14?
I had a dutch friend when I was a child and she tried to teach me -- what? flemish? -- but I could never get teh guttural sound right
ty lynxx. will look
got the tu6.27 afflamed, drop the u
If so it's a plural of the ty4,5 before it.
ty lynxx
got to go get my beets out the boiling water brb
ahh! ty!
flemish is no dutch, it is one of the 2 main languages of belgium. And yes, those guttural sounds are close to impossible for most foreigners :)
I have a du8
oh well maybe she was teaching me dutch -- I was 8 and a little vague about it all
Same here.
when I heard the flemish in Brussels it sound Dutch to my untrained ear
got the 8's, ty sprite.
dutch is a very tough language to learn! And Flemish and Dutch are a lot like eachother, especially if you don't speak either
oops, ty lynxxx
wtg doxy
still have 160 to go.
well I can honestly say I do not speak either! lol
152 here
Hi all, I am at 181. Had a lot of naps and breaks...
hi red naps are good
lol jmc! And why would you, since almost all dutchies speak english...
hi Red
hi red!
Shiv - You and i have much in common - organic gardening, love for the irish (altho u may not love them any longer)..... and living in a family home? Lucky you!
123 left here.
Well I try when I travel places -- I visited Kirkagard Gardens and the Hague when I was in Brussels
I adore an irish accent
I think I am trying to get sick, but with what I am unsure....maybe tired sickness if that exists.
and what an interesting job you have
serious is a serious phantom - I must have tried it 4 or 5 times!
well perhaps you should try to get sick red -- just a thought
that is special, jmc, most people don't. I like getting to know at least a few words from every country I visit.
hi Dan
er I meant not try to get sick
hi dan
hi lynx and everybody
I make sure I have looked up please, thank you, bathroom, yes, no, and tea
that exists, I believe, red. I also believe that if you feel that way, you should be sick and get yourself a lot better before you get really overtired and all.
hi dan, i'll be trying not to get sick but its this wierd thing...
lollll jmc! Especially the tea!
I had a terrible time in the Chech Republic because you nod no and shake your head yes
hello dan2
*stealth hug @ sprite*
jmc that would be terrible. really. I would be getting all the wrong things.
hi stid.
Sprite, how are you feeling...
jmc, that is confusing. When I was in Greece, I learned that the sign we use for waving, is there a sign for 'come here'. And our sign for 'come here' is very rude there.
oo red since I had mono 20+ years I make sure I don't get too tired because I will get sick for sure
hi Stid
Lucky me, afflamed? After being out of the house for so many years, it's an adjustment being here again! The Irish, well I am Irish except for being born and raised here...my entire background. So yes, of course I love my family who are over there and feel an attachment to the country in a way.
it was very hard in the Chech Republic
Hi stiddie!
stiddie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *HGUS*
*bighuge grin* hello all
I'm trying to take it easy, my work schedule has been screwed up so things are not easy but I think its only for a week or two.
*fluffs a pillow for red*
red: pretty desperate. So much would like to walk again and I don't seem able to. But I will, soon, I hope.
let me bring you a cup of tea
*HUGS* even, stiddie :)
I am an irish/french mix, but i got all of my mothers appearances with the red hair light blue eyes and matching light skin lol
red, I got really really sick last week -- caught a nasty virus that hit at the same time as the migraine on the last day of the meeting. I think you should call in sick before it's for real.
Oh sprite, that is not good news. I surely hope things improve.
{{{{sprite}}}}
Well, stid, I have today and Sunday off, and I expect Monday to be an easy day...
*puts choclit where sprite can almost reach it...* and it's not a case of "wishing makes it better" at all.
goodness! *runs over to hug stiddie*
*moves choclit closer to sprite*
aw stid, how awful! How are you now? Make sure you take time to rest up before storming on, ok?
The family home thing sounds just cozy though. I imagine rural england, green pastures about, low lying fog, warm fireplace playing scrabble . :))
Hiya stidmama.
I am all better now, jmc. turned in the last of the schoolwork yesterday and today have NO direction. feels weird.
hey shivs!
that is what I hate about this silly sabbatical thing
how's the grid today anyway? better than yesterday? about the same?
it is not a permanent thing. Just really overtaxed myself and now my muscles and brain don't work together. The brain fires off the right messages but they don't reach the muscles, or so they tell me.
no direction
stid, jmc, if you all have nothing to do, my house desperately needs a good clean.
LOL, no afflamed...don't live out in the countryside. We're in a suburb of Greenwich, beside a water tower, pub on the next corner.
hi all! how're your weekends?
jmc, if you feel really really at a loss, come and help me put my office back together. Working WITH someone is a big motivator for me!
*sends healing thoughts sprites direction*
hey PAV!!! ((hugs))
hi pav
choclit is certainly a motivator, lol
stiddy - you lool so elegant in your apron in yr icon- have you lost weight too ? Greetings all.
Hi pav!!
awww PAV and poopies, how nice to see you
hi FMitch :)
Hiya!
hi fm
ackk! there goes my lovely image lol
spriety sprite - hello hun!
hi fm!
hey FM!! ((((((HUGS for mentioning the weightloss))))))) how is your move going?
I think we need a Babble sick room as well as a PB. Let's see - , chocolate, good healthy food, deliciously soft but supportive beds with nice strong good looking male nurses to fluff the pillows.
thanks for all the good thoughts and wishes, all :) I know they will help.
Hi FM
I might never leave then, lyn, lol
hey Lynxxx, back in for more punishment yes?
Hi lynxxx, red, jmc et al
I think we could all stay there for a long time...
sprite -- we will love you whether you stand or sit, walk or roll. As I hope my family will love me whether I ever lose the cane/crutches or not.
hey lynxxx!
well i think that br, ru and torg and others might prefer a female nurse
hi Pav, of course!
*reserves space in lynxxx's sick room*
LMAO the penalty box is a classic, i love the punching bag
lol stiddy and tons of hugs back to you :)
stid, thanks for those words. *big hug and grateful smile*
hi all, does anyone have clue for sa6, the first?
You need a punching bag to take your frustrations out on, when you can't find words.
jmc, absolutely. We should have both. And babblers who get sick, get to choose their own nurses.
red - haven't seen you for ages too, how are you ?
I'm good, very very tired, but good. You? How are you FM?
I use the cabana boy 1 to take out my frustrations in a nonviolent manner ;-)
sa 6? *looking*
jmc, exactly what does that mean?
that is why he loves you best, jmc
*eyebrow wiggle*
*wink wink*
my first sa6 is sa & a**ist like Dali & either/**
i've been looking for sa6 for a looooong time
*big grin*
thanks for the sa 6!
kje clued it for you a while back, Shirlock
PAV - another babbler I avne't seen for a while but have been reading the log, sorry to hear about the possible new psotion - wwanted that to work out for you..
dang, was distracted
but lyn's clue is great too :)
sorry must pop out to buy beer for my sister who is coming to stay bbl
thx for the sa6 clue lynxx and kje if you're still here
bfn jmc
later jmc! ((hugs))
ok time to vacuum and dust ugh BBIAB
chat is going so fast!
bye aff
thanks for that sa6...i have 112 left to find...thanks Fmitch...I feel the good Lord is telling me I'm not ready for wealth or the headaches that come with...I feel even worse for DCSeain..he has lost his job with the Feds
go PAV go!
I am going to hit 100 (found) and then put one more box of things away. and then take a nap. just because I can...
need 47 more.
((PAV)) and saw that news re DC too.
am really sorry to hear about both of you, PAV. I hope something even better will come up soon.
lovely, stid
Pav, thats a good attitude. I am hoping that Seain is goig to actually be cleared.
Seems like sensible thinking Pav, who needs more headaches
wait wait. WHAT news about DC? I knew PAV was not having good job luck...
DC's cleared for A job was denied...
how can that be? not get clearance? this is very very unwelcome news
that is odd. Does he know why?
Not yet
I dont think even he knows why but they are reviewing it.
aparently there was a glitch stiddy and he was escorted off the premesis
gah my spelling is going out of the window as usual.
sounds like some stupid mixup
He was saying he got some great references though
oooh I had not heard the escorted part wow.
oh no! *crying sad* he's one of my best babble friends!!!!
DC has talked about it in the log much earlier today
my exiting boss wouldn't even recommend me for a higher position, I'm only good enough to do the job I have he says...
okay, I will go look at the log.
PAV, I am sending VERY BAD vibes to your exiting boss. And hope the door boots him into the next century. *indignant mama look*
feel for you PAV
huumph - aren't you glad he's gone then Pav!
never mind that for the past 6 1/2 years I've been saving his butt...
can't believe he is right, PAV.
I bet he couldn't do your job, let alone his own
but he was the one who plucked me from unemployment when I needed it...
Oh he admits I'm very good at governmental accounting, budgeting and purchasing, but not at a higher level..Deputy or Division Director...
that was a good thing, but it doesn't excuse his negativity
am so glad that I work for myself. did the Corporate work for 25+ years
Me too, FMitch. Although I do some work part time for another company.
I figure I have a good 20 years left...with elections coming up next year, he may lose his latest posit in t he next 18 months or so...
It is tough though isn't it Shivs?
Sure is, FMitch.
Eeew pav, thats unfortunate. I feel again blessed to be in the in demand profession, as much as it may be quite unpleasant at times.
Nothing's ever perfect, red...no job.
that is fireflies and bedtime for me. Bye all, have a good time.
I've been told high ranking members in our state legislature and governor;s office are not happy with our independently elected commissioners for not choosing my boss as the new Exec Director, forcing him out....could bode poorly for my agency in budget talks...
You know, it is exactly 2 years since zi retired from my last job and I still fell sick about it when I hear you guys talk
mmmm esp these days, given the economic climate.
Oh no. there are moments though when I do wonder what its like to go through a day without being peed on, cursed at, vomited on, coughed on, etc....
Congrats Sprite! see you again soon
red...you aren't a professional lady are you...just kidding,taht's only in Nevada! some brevity for our serious employment posts...
Goodness red, what do you do for a living?
Congratulations Sprite, rest well, I am looking forward to hear you are feeling better!
lynxxx you are retired now so enjoy!
YAY sprite and (((hugs))) see you soon. *choclit*
I just sent seain a note. I am really ticked off about his losing his job.
Congrats sprite!
I'm a nurse shivs, in the Emergency Deptarment, so lots of stuff happens each day, but I dont have to hear high heels or suits.
I see, red.
Yes, Seain seems very nice. He's a friend of a friend.
DC is a grat guy - is he a friend you know in real live or virtual Shivs?
and there goes my typing skills again :(
I can't say I know him as such yet, FMitch. We haven't had any one on one conversations, only here.
what typing skills?
lol
rofl great timing, atalante! ((hugs))
lol Ata - Im not talking to you right now :(
*giggles*
friday morning coffee, FM?
I need a D from the upper right corner, and the S next to the lower E for NBT
Ata - yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COFFEE!!!! that's what I am missing!
thought you weren't talking to me? *innocent* :)
got the S...
well i won't but I will still meet you for coffee ;)
I have a D word meaning one who colours fabric and another that rhymes with and has the same letters as a purchaser? That the one stid?
du5 - like bu***ing a balloon with a pin.
Hobbity will be there too :D
got the D. I am past 100 words, a mere 148 to go...
And another meaning stress?
thanks lynxxx!
Cup runneth over!!!!!!
Hi Ata, FM, Stid and all you fellow Babblers!
and thanks shivs
I have 123 to go but am not seeing anything.
Think a break's in order.
(((Aloy))
ALOYISIUS!!!! I am SO glad you showed up before I poofed away.
I often find LOADS quickly after a break, shivs
Hiya Aloyisius.
how are you doing? are you up north or in florida? how's life? I miss you!
hi aloy!
I think it helps. I do the same, often.
hi Aloy
I'm not sure what time yet, I'm going to stay with my friend in Sunnigdale Friday afternoon -> Saturday morning

ouch Aloy
owie, Aloyisius *sending gentle healing to figners*
(((FM))) It has been a GOOD babble morning, hasn't it?
I just wish I had a way to make PAV's life easier...
*considers sending a semi-truck of choclit in PAV's direction*
Sometimes babble is just brilliant
good to see you all, tho I missed sprite.. just logged on to tackle the grid some more.. seems I have missed some fun!
I have fudge bars.
Ata justlet me know as and when :)
Hello, friends
But I need coffee.
if only Haz could come too!
Hi BR
Pax, aloyisius

"audiot" a person who can't tell Bach from Zepplin... *grin*
Good one, LOL!
No need to rub it in, stid
hi BR and red and lynxxx and Shivs.. hope I didn't forget someone
Greetings BR
Ata - someone picked up a fawn??
fudge bars, coffee... *sigh* I am getting hungry. time for breakfast. back later today! *grins at BR* see you-all later! *departs in flurry of hugs* *poof*
hi BabRab
meeee!
ciao Stid!
hi all
bye Stid
dcseian lost his jobs?
he failed to gain clearance, jmc, but this is being reviewed and appealed.
bye stiddie
we rescued the baby and took him to a local wildlife rescue centre
bummer I have helped a few clients on the clearance thing -- it is tough
yup jmc but ditto what red just said
sooo cute Ata
I think he has had clearance before so the review I hope will work...
bye stid..(waves)
they usually won't tell you why you flunked the clearance -- you have to guess and guess right (so as not to make things worse) and then explain it
he was *adorable*
anyone remeber the film 'To Sir, with Love' made in in 1966 starring Sidney Potier?
Yes
yes fm
vaguely
vaguely
I know it, but didnt see it when it came out, because I was not living then.
i remember it
yeah yeah Red, rub it in
*shakes her wrinkles grey head at red*
I was -8 :)
haha
Was on the TV this afternoon and so evocative of the fight in the clasfroom that is still going on today and the unfairness of life in general but how formative a teacher can be.
good afternoon
Well, I also have a gray head too, have since I was 22 its sad but its the way it is!
reading back, I remember To Sir..... loved the film
hi Flosey
hi flosey!
hi Lyn, Aloy, red fm ata, etc
hi flosey
just in to finish up, hubby sat in and did a few
nice of hubby
for sure jmc, he'
is a keeper
hi flosey!
wow, gangs almost all here!
when I was a kid, I could never understand the title of that film, what was "to sir" with love? I always thought it was a verb lol
every time I hit the apostrophe, i miss and hit enter
Lulu
I've always felt teachers are the most noble of professions, instructing, guiding, helping , and mentoring, whilst painfully correcting the misguided youths
we just need Haz and a few others
and generally overworked and underpaid
well that too jmc...
amen, jmc
my aunt started teaching when she graduated HS at 18
hubby was a teacher, retired 15 years ago and students still come to visit - very rewarding - especially since they're coming from Toronto area
she went to teachers college in the summer
she taught 52 years
my mother the piker only taught 43
My Dad was a teacher, and I am really surprised at the people that come back to see him... I swear he only taught for 30 yrs though...
Teachers are people that can change someones life,. But you never realise it until so many years later.
my mom became an educator at age 52
That's terrfic Flosey, what a compliment
my sister got an email from one of my mother's students asking if she was her daughter and how she was
I'm still in contact with my headmistress from when I was 4 and 5. She guided my life even that early on
ah jmc, isn't that a great feeling
we thought it was very sweet and mother -- who barely remembers us -- remembered him
lol jmc, that IS sweet
apparently that's quite natural, to remember people and events from way back
I have always felt that toer should be a word describing a ballet dancer
makes sense jmc
I keep trying it in all puzzles but so far no one seems to agree with me
Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone But in my mind I know they will still live on and on But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume? It isn't easy, but I'll try
OK Name the most infulential teacher in your life just for their posterity - I have two: Mrs Wadmore (hated her but she taught me Math. and Mrs Cursue the Choir Mistress who taught me how to sing and the apprecation of music which I have loved eversince.
me too, jmc.. i always enter it, lol
my mother was the most influential teacher in my life
Mrs CUmmings - headmistress just mentioned. Mrs Parsons - also from age 4 and 5, class teacher
my grade 9 science teacher is one I'll never forget
and I am not cheating -- I had her for advance english in HS
Miss Berg, 9th grade, who would accept nothing less than what she perceived to be your best effort
I always said she was a better teacher than a mother and that I was the only person on earth qualified to judge
and the least liked - one I had for grade 2,3,4,5 - I think we just got tired of each other
The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?
in a good or bad way flosey?
Mrs Cummings used to give me special lessons each week where I decided what to study. We covered volcanoes and mountains and goodness knows what else. She brought me back stuff from all over the world, and showed me how big and wonderful the world was. She brought me a vial of ash from the Mt St Helens eruption, and a wooden beaver fromCanada, among others
ah, BR.. I hear it clearly now
oh FM, he was the best, just a great humanitarian
To Sir with love, Babble?
Mrs. Regan who taught 4th grade and said someday I would look back and thank her -- when ever I see people from that class we still say -- not thanking her What a b****
Yes
My first grade teacher Miss Spotts (she never married) who retired after my grade...and my 11 th grade pre-calc teacher who was once a janitor in the very same HS until he decided to become a teacher..he taught us that instead of making everyone around us miserable because we hate our jobs, we should quit to follow our dreams
hi Soodle
what a great example he was Pav
Hi everybody. I was scarred for live by a sadistic, money-grabbing nun, by the name of Sister Euphrasia. The name strikes terror into my heart to this day!
Mrs. Regan made so much fun of me when I first tried to recite a poem that the kids teased me forever feeling they had her permission. It got so bad that I had to do my recitations during recess so the other kids couldn't harass me thanks to her-- left me with an undying dislike for poetry
am I invisible? *demands in a babbler sort of way* I've been writing stuff and no-one mentioned it. I must be booooring :D
hi Soodle
hi Soodle.. so sorry you had that experience
how humiliating jmc
Ata!!! How goes it?
no we were just all wrapped up in our own stories ata
argh don't mention nuns!
so how did you rate the extra classes with Mrs. Cummings?
btw I have a vial from St Helens from my husband
isn't it increadible how we remember those teachers so may years on!
I remember being in school with a bad cold (back then we didn't stay home with such) and was blowing my nose and the teacher suggested I should get a steamshovel!
oh she was wonderful. she just knew I was brilliant (lol) and wanted to help me learn as I wanted to. So she took 2 hours a week out of her schedule to show me the joy of learning, and that was the greatest gift ever
rofl Flosey. though I am sure it was humiliating at the time
Ata...you could not be more visible! did that come out wrong?...your lifelong teacher just struck a chord with my remembrance of my 11th grade tech..and not making everyone miserable at work...plus, I can't type and read the chat at hte same time,,,either my eyes are on the keyboard or on the screen...
that is really cool ata
you were fortunate to have such a great teacher Ata
you need more keying practice pav
Sister Euphrasia oh dear soodle!
I was only joking, really! but I did want to make sure people read how wonderful she was :D
I knew I had learned to type when I was typing in a dream without looking at the keyboard
we had *thinks* Sister Adriana, Sister Jo, Sister Marie Helena, and Sister Bernadette
Sister Bernadette was the devil in disguise
bet she is called Sister Euthanasia
Happy to say I went to public school
We had loads of nuns, but Sr Euphrasia was the Big Boss! The one and only good thing about her was her name - as JMC says - loads of different variations of the name!!
as a typical male, I think and speak faster than I type, so sometimes I must slow myself down...and then there's the arthur and itis creeping in
Sr Marie Helena was this old old old nun who was in charge of the library. I swear I never saw her move for 3 years
lol PAV
Very strange breed of people - nuns!!
that is a lame male excuse pav! lol
well I'm not quite lame yet jmc...gittin thar...
fireworks - and just in time, going to feed sweet William now, he's about ready to wake up
we had days of repentence when we went to the convent and had to eat unleavened bread and do hour long meditation sessions. we were 10. imagine a class of 10 year old trying to meditate!
i'm a wee bit lame today for sure...
okay don't tell ata but I broke down and opened up the list and it is full of the words from yesterday and I tried refreshing
10 year old quakers do ata
no list?
sounds pretty painful Ata
grumble.. doesn't one ever "retoss" a ball?
be back for flip, have a great day everyone
the grid is there but the words are from yesterday -- like adit
be well, flosey
always knew there was something odd about Quakers :P
bye flosey
yup Aly, I just threw one your way. Did you miss it *grin*
bye flosey
:-P
RedT is not odd
I think I have to reboot :-( o well time to skin the beets anyway
lol FM.. couldn't catch it with my taped fingers, have an excuse
thanks BR! thankfully, my parents didnt expect me to meditate well at ten...
ALoy are you hurt?
minor break in a finger, red.. major pain to type!
A true babble trooper, Aloy
Oh ALoy, my major sympathies to you. I am not fond of broken fingers.
bbl
fianlly..100 left! I can go do my Sat activities now...
Aloy was abou to bowl a strike but her fingers got stuchk in the ball.
lol, BR..
141 here. I need coffee now that I have waited...I will have to make decaf.
Ahhh dishes call too, will BBL for that 141.
Thanks all for sharing the your memories of the wonderful teachers
ty, red.. a nuisance for sure..
ouch, FM.. now that has happened for real!
*grin*
all I have to drink is about a gal of Hawaiian Punch from the ex-bosses reception yesterday...I had to taste some sweetness from his departure...
did you have a special teacher, BR?
Not really --- teachers thought I was a problem ... so, I had a lot of "supervision."
aww, just means you were special.. probably bored?
hi everyone!
hi annie!
hi Annie
back to finish up, I hope
party in the PB then with PAV and his let over drinks ... and the toast is to those teachers that influenced our lives!
Annie!!! hi there
Hi Aloy, How did you break a finger? Ouch!!
In hindsight, I learned a lot, once I was able to sort it out.
Hi FM and BR!
takes a while, BR.. I'm still "sorting it out".. (-:
Hey Annie how are you and yours?
Just fine and you?
god to see you :)
"stoved" it Annie.. and heard a not nice sound
What is so nice about Babble is the incredible assemblage of talented people
Hello, Annie
always good to see you
and yes, Aloy, the sorting will always be in process
(())
Aloy, stove means??? Were you baking your finger or broiling your finger?
I hope so, BR.. am convinced it is a necessary thing.. at least for me.. always
<Entering on cue from BR from stage left, bows to the incredible assemblage of talented people> Hi, everyone!
lol, Annie! means to jam it so you dislocate a joint
howdy JBs
*sending healing vibes to Aloy*
Hello, JBsAnno
Hi JB
Hi, Aloy, sorry to hear 'bout your finger
Hi, BR!
Hi, Anniebrook!
hi JB
Hey, Lynxxx!
Hi JB - long time no see!
ty JB.. tis ok, just hinders typing and other fine motor skills
I'm loving that the grids are bigger on the weekends again
Hey, FMitch! I changed my schedule, not able to get on as much in the morning
Isn't is funny how much one little finger can cause so much pain?
Okay, someone say something so I don't look trollish, 'kai?
or a toe.. phew, almost pb time
from jb to jb, you're nt a trole
i like your icon, jb
Good save, Alo! ;)
pedal digit
thanks Aloy. it's from the madmen site
Hi, jbp, nope, just looked like it for a minute, phew!
BR re yr post at 3.12 very true. Babble has never ceased to amaze me with the talents or sheer survival skills that babblers have.
Including yours, FM. I did not know of your loss.
Oh, I didn't bow to you before, FM? <bows to yet another incredibly talented person> <grin>
I loved many of my teachers, they instilled a love of learning and curiosity about the world and the people in it for which I am constantly grateful.
FM? did you lose someone/something?
brb
BR thank you for that.
Hope I did not unduly upset you.
much appreciated *poof*
hi all, entering, even though I don't feel particularly talented
back
hello, Dorens..
bye for now, FM.. ( )
Hello, Dorens; jmc
hi jmc
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat But always keep that hunger
Hi, Dorens!
May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
hi jm, bab, aloy and JBS not seen in a while
hi dorens
I hope you still feel small When you stand by the ocean
hi annie, how are you?
Love that song, BR!
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
(who couldn't feel small standing by the ocean?... one of the most humblin yet thrilling experiences ever)
fine, thanks
Yeah, Dorens, I'm trying to get to the grid more, and today is a good day. It's that, AND I'm avoiding putting the groceries away.
hero heros
oh my, i use it to avoid all sorts of things! on a daily basis. it's shameful
SWMBO!!!!! Very long time no see!
Hello, swmbo
hi JBs and jbp - one more jb joining in -hi everybody - can you keep us straight?
howdy, JBV
hi swmbo
oh no! jb overload!!!
Hi swmbo!
lol, Dorens. They blocked internet access to game sites on my work computer, but I can get to Babble (on breaks!) on wifi on my iTouch
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hi, JBV!!
hi swmbo
(no, I mean Hi jbv, nice to see you! didn't mean to be unwelcoming)
lol, Dorens, I could tell you typed that with a smile!
ok, dorens - no problem :)
Did you watch the game, Annie?
always good to find a workaround jbs
BR, Yes!!!! 10-0.
<wink> @ jmcnrick
too bad the pitcher was hurt
Oh my. Just watching Mama Mia for the gazillionth time. How fantastic is Meryl Streep? I just LOVE that movie.
Okay, just to be Babblish - clue for the 9?
i love that movie too soodle, even tho we weren't supposed to. She is perfection
BR, Yes, I was sorry to see that. Yesterday a pitcher for Toronto was hit in the head and I couldnt find any news about him.
people who as6/18 jb
hi ru!
that is terrible annie
jmc, it was awful to see
BR, I meant a batter not the pitcher.
TY, ruru, got it, and the 6 & 8
thanks ruru, got them and more!
I little less terrible being hit by a pitched ball than a batted ball
What game did it happen in?
so anyone listing?
Me.
are you having trouble with the list? I rebooted and I still get yesterday's words with todays grid
JB--I dont know. I was watching the Yankee game (what else) and they announced it. It as a Toronto batter.
jmc..I have today's list.
go look on the bluejays webpage
me, but jsust for quick reference, nothing wrong with list
Thanks, Anniebrook, I'll look it up
too soon for me to tell, j. i am not allowed (in my mind) to list until halfway and nbt
hmmm must be a problem with my cache
jmc, why didnt I think of that? thanks, be back later
Calling all nerds! calling all nerds! there is an emergency at the jmcnrick house!
be specific jmc, many of us are word nerds... you need a computer nerd!
lol so true dorens: calling all computer nerds on babble! calling all computer nerds on babble!
http://mlbnotebook.com/2009/08/too-man y-batters-have-been-hit-in-the-head-th is-season.html
(don't want just any nerd)
is the problem with Babble Expert, jmc?
bye, fellow word nerds.. I have to poof now. Pax, BR.. see you next grid
<waving> Bye, Aloyisius!! Take care!
the problem is with lickety's list BR
be well, Aloyisius
bye aloy
try here: http://tinyurl.com/2tfl4u
I refreshed and rebooted and I can't get rid of yesterday's words even though I have today's grid on the list
bye aloy
I know there is someway to refresh my cache but I don't remember how
best i can offer is turn off the computer and turn on again
I have given you a link to the list, jmc
I was trying it . it has the same problem BR , but thanks for the effort
oh well I need to go pick my sister up from the airport anyway. I will futz with it later
bbl
Looking back over the chog, I think a synchronised 'Babblers-Bow' should be organised. At a specific date and time, each and every one of us should take a bow, and even give an acceptance speech!!!
later j
Bye, jmcnrick! Take care, and I hope your 'puter coughs up whatever the problem is and starts seeing the list correctly.
be safe, jmc
LOL, Soodle! <bows>
Oh, my, that looks pretentious!! I only meant to bow to Soodle for her having the idea, lol!!
click start -control panel-internet options-clear history.
The player that was hit was Marco Scutaro, shortstop. He was hit in the helmet, left the game in the 4th inning and the trainer said "no concussion". Thank God, it could have been terrible.
I am so glad that they wear helmets
looks like i was too late again :-(
yes, and many careers have been affected
hello, zoozzoom
Anno- your jumping the gun. The bow needs to be synchronised!! Across the globe, random babblers bowing, to the bewilderment of on-lookers. the more I think about it, the more I like it!
@zoozzoom - thanks, I'll remember that when it happens to me, I never could figure WHY it happens, just that it does sometimes
Hello Br, hope you are keeping well.
Thanks, zoom .. you too
yw JBsAnno :-)
Soodle, the more I think about it, the more I realize the endless possibilities!
hello, help with du8/50 pls
Now your talking, Anno! Now all we have to do is pick a day and time, and start writing our speeches!
red, plural the word before
thanks Annie
Yowl!! The cats are reminding me that they must eat NOW, the delay is just unconscionable. BBL! Thanks for the great chat today! Keep going, Soodle, sounds like fun! *poof*
youre welcome
just read email... old boyfriend who truly love and is one of my best friends, altho we don't see each other often (since he retired to Spain) has brain tumor. characteristically, he warned me NOT to reply to that email... he doesn't even like birthday greetings - since I can't react, you guys are getting my reaction
mi 6/21 pls
sob, sniff
oh dorens, that is awful news, so sorry
and i'm not allowed to sympathize. i'm supposed to pretend i don't know, and can't ask questions
sorry to hear that Dorens.
ouch - sorry to hear dorens
mi + r**** are red, violets are blue, blah, blah, blah
thanks Annie. done with M's
Ummm...sorry to be dense...but what is the mi 5/14 before the mi 6?
leaving for a while, be back later
car. what a cat says with tons of vowels
TY Annie!
youre welcome and poof
nice set of pics zoom's...
Dorens - write an email back to him like it will be the last time you will see him - and don't hold back.
ro 5 are red ... violets are blue ... I like peanut butter ... can you skate?
many thanks Afflamed :-)
but Fm, he is soooo against sentimentality. and his emails said do not respond to this in ANY FORM.
you cud even make it humurous by adding to each sentence what you arent saying " if i were to react, id tell you...."
my thoughts too FM, should not e-mail ..and not expect an e-mail back, after such bad news.
hi all
hello, Nrkki :-)
nrkii even :-0)
Dorens, I am so sorry for you.
what he really wants is a humorous email in response to other things and ignoring this white elephant. i can be sure to remind him i love him tho, and that is all i think. hi nrk thanks
But Dorens, I would suggest you honor his request and NOT respond. At least not for 2+ weeks, when you can send something funny.
Dorens if he is dying you just dowhat you want. whether you send the emails or print them off for the family to know is up to you.
just hope he makes sure to let me know next time he's back in ny... i miss him a lot. he's one of themost brilliant men i know, and certainly the funniest, and erudite, increedibly wellread and a good cook. but seriously crazy
OH Dorens. What a difficult position to be in. He sounds like a hell of a guy.
he says all lis well, but i don't believe that. he's on chemo and radiation, so maybe it isn't so dire... they wouldn't bother with treatment if they didn't think he had a chance. but he's had other health issues the last ten years... really high blood pressure, etc
Fireworks! (sorry it happened in the middle of this conversation though.)
congrats, car
he served in vietnam, one of those unsung heroes who carried a dying buddy ten miles over his shoulder and is tortured with bad memories of that time, gets very morose (understandably). his mom committed suicide when he was a baby which i think had longlasting effects
he may believe he will recover, in which case getting a lot of sentimental responses that suggest "last chance to tell you how much you meant to me" might be exactly the opposite of what he needs right now... that's why I wouldn't respond
yay car!!!
Well Done Car!!
Well Done Car!!
WTG Car!!
Dorens, I am sorry for your friend and for you. Just be you and be there for him.
no he really doesn't like sentimentality like that... humor and knowing that i care is it i think
yay Careeyore!!
I hope you all have the best evening possible! Many of you will be in my thoughts & prayers!
well you know him best, you should do what you think is best Dorens :-)
be well, car
take care Car
I will. *poof*
strange to say i have a best friend i can go years without seeing, and months without emailing, but we do have a great understanding of one another and i have always adored him - and so does my daughter. she will be devastated. bye car.
Car - while your praying - spare a thought (prayer) for my daughter to get the scholarship she so needs for college. thank you
sorry to dominate chat... just have this heavy feeling. from out of the blue, wasn't expecting this, and need to process... i'll be quiet now for a while. thaks all
no worries dorens
you can talk as much as you want Dorens.
Based on 'lasting effects' I would say - give him your support and write to him in letter form.
hmmm interesting thought fm, thanks
Sorry folks, didnt mean to hijack the prayers, but the knees are worn out on me praying at the moment. All additional prayers would be very welcome. Needless to say, I only pray when I am looking for something. Athiests in fox-holes ect!! LOL
and now am logging off for the night. Happy bablbing all.
night fmitch
be well, FM
Bye, FM
Good nite FM
night fm. sood, i don't pray, but i wish well for people all the same. same thing, to my mind
Absolutely Dorens. All good wishes/prayers/karma welcome
To have a friend is a blessing. He has put conditions on the friendship which you feel bound to honor. Good friends do that. To truly care about someone if not sentimentality: â–¸ noun: extravagant or affected feeling or emotion â–¸ noun: falsely emotional in a maudlin way
It is very clear your emotions are not manufactured.
BabbleRabble. You intrigue me. Do you have a big dictionary of 'Appropriate Quotations' at your elbow as you babble?
BabbleRabble. You intrigue me. Do you have a big dictionary of 'Appropriate Quotations' at your elbow as you babble?
no, just my thoughts
thank you babrab, your words always mean a lot. i was kinda sorta waiting to hear them.
no, he is one of the best and strongest people i know. it is always so sad to see his weakness. and weakness can be a strength, but when it leads to sorrow it is sad
Ultimately, you know he cares too.
oh i do, fortunately, I do. he even signed this email Love (I mean it) Rudy --- pretty outrageous for him.
Wow, I am happy for you.
don't get me wrong.. we haven't been romantically involved since 1998... last i heard he had a wonderful girlfriend from finland, but he hasn't mentioned her in a while and when i asked recently was she still in the picture, he characteristically didn't respond. which means absolutely nothing. i do hope she's there
oh my goodness. i just found his name in the grid. too weird
i need a break.. be back later. thanks for the support
Hug yourself, Dorens
Dorens. Thinking about you.

Oh, jaianniah just clued it.
Pluralised, Minveryork.
thanks min, shi, jai, it was that tricky i on the end that stumped me on the ut5
Hello Shivers!!
Hiya Soodlebum!
Ah! Those Latin endings!
Feel like I am wading through splodge with this grid tonight!
Hello to all who just joined the chog....
imagine having more than one ut5...the horror of it (unless you're a gynaecologist)
Guess what, soodle..you are!
me too Soodle
I am only half way
Cats have two...
grrrr
that explains why they're such cranky creatures who bring the claws out first chance they get
That photo is funny, gortmold! What a translation!
it's not been too bad, am past half way
Cats have two what, jaianniah?
That's part of the reason they are so obnoxious when they go into heat....
isn't it, shi? have you come across any chinglish, engrish or spanglish that you can share?
Two Ut5 and I did not fall for the trap....
No they don't jaiannah. It's like a dog's...one organ, that splits into two long horns.
CATS HAVE TWO??????
Wasn't setting any traps...wasnted to be sure what you meant, but that's misinformation. Don't know where you heard that one?
Yep! It's called "bifurcation", I believe
well I finished
ok still no progress on that to6/21, any other clues pls?
Yes, that way they can carry more kittens...it's true
wtg Wildcat
to+ "are"+ robotic ending
nice work wild
ty gort try to + and****
No it isn't. It's one organ, but it's not shaped like ours because it's designed to carry a litter...it divides into two long horns, one on each side but is still one organ, not two.
You have some misinformation there. Ask any vet!
shivs is correct.
ty
I did not mean it was two separate organs....but I can see how you would take it that way...That's what "bifurcation" means
I know I am, red.
You did say that, jaiannah.
Yes, I did, and I was wrong. Mea culpa!
Oh well. ;o) Hardly matters!
Babble:- Frustration, Education, and Mortification!!!!
gortmold streaks through chog in alarming red bikini hoping to distract bifurcating dissenters long enough to restore peace
LOL, gortmold.
And probably a lot else besides?
gort can you do that?
Wolf whistles from Soodle at Gort's daring dash
Exactly! You do not get away with ANYTHING here! But I would rather die than pass out incorrect info about cat ut%'s! LOL!
you're too kind, sood, but thank you
i can, red, but that doesn't mean i should
i'm too tired to dash...
Apology accepted?
it is too hot to dash !
though Red- I hear the beach should be open now for you
dr still with the heat?
Me too. Hope I can stay awake long enough to finish this puzzle. Doubtful that I will.
DR, it is so humid here it is practically raining indoors
Oh for crying out loud...help with the SE 7 28 please. My specs are all fogged up
I wish Jai! We are hot with no humidity
When you have a thunderstorm indoors, that's when you have to worry.
I would Soodle, but I need that one too!
kinda like a knife with scalloped edges, Soodle
Good afternoon/day to all.

Hi Scrabbler! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
Thanks gortmold!
And hiya Scrabbler.
ty Gort- I had the first one only
I still have a migraine--I awoke with it yesterday morning.
you're welcome, i think bab gave the initial clue
Hah! Indoor thunderstorms?? Come to my house. three teenagers. Plenty thunderstorms here.
does anyone have the se6/18?
I am sorry to hear that Scrabs.. have been drinking lots of water to keep mine away
Oh joy, Soodle...is that what I have to look forward to in a few years' time?
I have one, also, Scrabbler...and the check-out lady at Wal_mart had one, too...it's going around (weather)
yes, it is the weather- mine has been off and on
se+ red, red flower - last vowel, add another vowel
I get headaches sometimes in low barometric pressure.
Oh. My. God. (to quote themselves). Not funny!!!
I started with dizziness Thursday then headache yesterday...I do get weather-triggered episodes
me,too
What do you mean, Soodle? Did you tell your kids what you just said about indoor thunderstorms?
sorry jai, mean the second se 6/18
a lot of times if i end up in th er there are nine other people with headaches...the nurses count
se
=+ anagram of foot digits
3 others in my office Thursday had migraines too
Huh? Kids in on a Saturday nite??? Not a hope. Off out gallivanting! Their poor old mam in, on the 'puter, biting her nails down to the quick, worrying, wondering, ....
Oh yes of course, Soodle! I'm sure mine will be doing that in a few years' time.
thanks jai, got it now, wouldn't have, tho, if you hadn't helped
y are quite welcome- sorry about the "blip" in the clue, tho
I think I will head for the pit now. to all the achey-heads - get well soon, to all the parents of teenagers -my sympathies, to all who pray - remember my special request. Good night to all, and to all a good night!
Good night Soodle!
gnite!

i'm sure we can find something else to mock about you, kje. please stay

*poof*
kje, I think they are making fun of MY inept typing.

but remember to come back so we can tease you some more.

In the US, it's only available thru Walmart, does Walmart ship to Australia?

ok good luck then, I love Neil Diamond and asked for that DVD for my birthday
Luv we got a soft pack special edition but I would like teh Dvd Cd combo
Luv i have a lot of the vynls here that were my parents.

I saw that at Amazon. I will just order from there or get my friend to do it as he works in a music store

LOL I like really OLD music. I never got much into the modern stuff (past 1750 or so).
like spinaret(?)sp?
nm, that's spider thing...
though I admit to singing show tunes a lot and jazz/blues on occasion.
didn't know they had jazz back then...
actually, even pre-keyboards, Kate -- citharas and crumhorns and such. very odd, almost middle-eastern sounding stuff with intriguing rhythms. ((hugs))
we have huge jazz festival up here every july...come from all over world
and that's enough for now. see you-all soon! *Poof*
shall investigate at earliest opportunity

Good morning . . .

morning, JC
Just looking at chog. TraderKate, I think that Dr. G. prefers to send Babble Expert to those who are pro.
HI anyone I missed I am trying for my sanity to find this website. Arrrrr
Julian!!!! :)
I can't find this stupid site. I think i may need to get offline for a while
May I please have a clue for mi6-21? Thanks
mi6/21:mi+r**** are red,violets are blue gapeach1066
Hello gapeach1066!How are you? Welcome to the grid
Thanks so much Min. I'm doing well this evening, Min. Hope you doing well also.
min -- Dr G doesn't send Expert -- Lickety does.
Hi all.
hi Jilli! Hi Min, Hi Kaz
hi Peach
hello everyone...
hi magyk
hello all I've missed while I have been eating pizza and trying to finish this grid :)
Oh, I thought it was Dr. God. That is what I was told when I first enquired about it,that Expert gets sent to pro babblers.I had it,but do no have it anymore. I never used it when I did have it.I don't mind jumping from screen to screen. Often have several different screens open at a time anyway.I like to mutlitask on the computer. Too bad I am not good at multitasking in real life.
Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Hi there, lbdawger. I was trying to look up words beginning with rh. My mind isn't in gear this evening.
Hello magyk! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Thank you Min! I am doing well! How are you?
help with ut 5/12 pls, the first one

whooooo hooooo KAZ!!!
Congratulations Kazozz on fireworks!Hooray for you
Goodbye Kazozz! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!
thanks all
yw
May I get a clue for the tu5 pls?
Re Expert. Lickety prefers to send it to people who support DrGod's efforts in supplying this game. We are so lucky to have them both.
Going pro supports DrGod and costs so little.
I guess I don't have to preach to the present choir.
Agreed, Jilli - and a $14.99 one-time cost is so cheap!
And hello, by the way! ;)
I'm with Jilli and JC on going Pro
Awww, I missed Kazozz? :(
hello, everyone, btw
Hello JC -- yes -- she said hello to you but you had disappeared
Seain! :)
hi dc :)
Yes, I was away from the computer for a good while . . .
time for me to head out. see you all tomorrow. *poof*
g'night, dawg
hi and bye, dawg! Sorry to miss you.
Oh - well hello and good night then, lbdawger!
hmf, found a German word and it worked X:-[
hi all
bye lbd
hi jmc :)
evening, jmc
Welches Wort, Jilli? ;)
hey dc
interesting icon, jmc!
ty It took me a while to decide what to put
did you read the profile too?
JC, Ich nicht sprechen Deutsch (is that right?)
Welches deutche Wort hast du gefunden, Jilli?
Sie sprechen kein Deuctsch, nicht?
"Ich kann nicht deutsch sprechen."
JC, a knight
danke, JC
Oh *thank* you, Jilli! :) *MWAH!*
Bitte, Jilli . . .
yet I translated yards of German for my book, lol!
and understood your question.
Hmmm, yes - then you surely picked up a bit of it?
Sehr gut, Jilli! ;)
I have some German on both sides of the family. I'm as much of a mongrel as my dogs are! ;)
JC, I've heard German all my life -- my mother was fluent but never taught me that language. She and her sisters used to keep secrets from me and my cousins by speaking German, the meanies ;)
That's terrible, Jilli - you should've taken a course and learnt it, without telling them! ;)
Didn 't I tell you the tale of my Australian grandparents?
Yes, you did . . .
guten morgen, babblonians! Es ist ein schon nacht hier in Kent. or however you spell it
it's common, that type of thing with languages. Each generation of my mom's family spoke one less language than the one before. In 3 generations. Welsh, Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian were lost.
Oh well . . .
guten tag, ata
help with te 7/28 pls
got it.
sorry, don't have it, big red
but need help with tr 6/18 pls
ah, i didn't realize that word was German. :) Cool
I have 65 to go and the T words are among them
big red, add vowel the the tree-part music group
It's a Yiddish word, big red. Can be spelt differently, also. Means hardship and sorrow, I think . . .
carry on, JC
With what, Jilli?
Babble, of course, lol!
I was, Jilli . . . :P
thanks dcseain
When you said "Oh well" I thought you were leaving
Oh no, not finished the grid yet - hoping to do that, although I should really be sleeping. :P Unwinding . . .
is Babble slow for everyone, or just me?
not slow for me.
JC, what time is it for you?
not slow for me
just me, typical :D
Oh, it's about 4:10 am, Jilli.
Oy vey, JC!
Oy vey iz mir . . .
yep, too blooming early
I haven't got any of the te words -- clues please? (and not in Yiddish)
short and shortest, esp in speech pattern, jilli
I don't know enough Yiddish to clue you in that language, Jilli - or have any of the 'te' words yet, other than the te5,10 - but you can see that one? ;)
It's what Seain's just clued . . .
te5/6 - little fishies
ty dc -- thought they would be there but coulnd't see how, duh
ty, ata
why was I so blind? Those little fishies are what I deserve -- a whole lot of them!
at least they are very cute little fishies
Yes, especially the neon ones - they're bright and colourful enough, Jilli.
down in the meadow in an itty bitty pool...
were three little fishies and a mama fishie too...
Is this my bedtime story, Jilli?
it was a family of fishies without a father, but that's ok, because we ceelbrate diversity of parenting styles among fishies
"Fim", said the mama fishie, "Fim if you can" And they fam and they fam right over the dam.
can I get a clue for st6,24 please?
awwww
te7 - more short and concise

the land in the Cdn north is called permafrost because even in summer the ground is permanently frozen.
It was so great I could yell at my son at a swimming pool from across the way and no one knew but him and me
I teach kids how to sign to me when they have had enough and need to take a break without disrupting the whole class. It works well .
he 6 pls?
Funny story... I was trying to teach my hyperactive 3 year old the sign for "cooperate" so I could sign to him when things were getting too wild without calling attention to him. He walked around the house practising the sign saying, "Copulate. Copulate" .... I let it go
lol
