ugh, kje sounds awful
I am, Seain?

can't find a u for the 3rd column or an n for the second n in the last column for nbt ??? any ideas?
sounds sour grapey
which personally, is not a topic i would choose to discuss.... but...
Well, my name is - although the letters aren't in order. Is that what you meant?
dc - it was painful at times.... though he did have a nice smile
hmmm..

hiya JC

you know how they like to stick useless vowels in stuff ; )
ty, kje
ty
but dc, how long have you been with your beau?
Ruru - sa 7 - not sweet bur sa*****

wow jilli - that is a scary face - LOL
yw
2 years now, kje; though we met in HS and went to uni together, too.
how does Tom handle pastries in the bathroom?
oh, for some reason, i thought you 2 were together longer... maybe it was b/c of the HS connection
i liked him DC... he is a keeper : )
well, ruru, seeing as i warned him to use the other one :)
thank you, kje.
ROFL DC
*damn, I hate it when jokes go over my head*
OK 100 words done so had better cook the hungry horde their lunch - back later
now, if he'd just come to understand that cats are not dogs. :)
njoy, anike
100 eeek
bye anike -- have fun
how sad, no luau today either
DC was telling us the other day how he had to hide fresh baked goods in the bathroom because the cats were getting into them..
probably just as well, since we lack onion
** roasts big pig for dc.. breaks out grass skirt for JC and KJE
i proofed them in a bathroom, as i could close the cats out of it to keep them whole and hair-free to bake in the AM
luau without onion... would be bland
well done anike
k, ru - ty
I joked that DC was confusing Bidet with Beignet
they were pain au chocolat, but whatever ;)
that sounds like one of those "you had to be there"
ROFL
passes on sicko joke
if it helps... another virus is in here - called 5th disease
PB for kje
uh oh..
damn
that word is gonna do me in this grid
she has a free pass on virus jilli.. I gave that to her
ty, kje
just because you want a tete a tete in the PB, ruru
ty ru... I love you! now... any other free passes I get?
*gives kje a get out of jail card *

wow jilli....sounds great
It is relaxing to take the ferry into the city and you have time to adjust before going to work
wtg dart
good morning all
hi, orange
hi orange
i opted against the ferry across the river tonight, as it wasn't worth the roads from the ferry to my destination.
where are you dc?
hi jil..dc..
I live in Reston, VA, about 17 miles West of Washington, DC
i took the Beltway instead
I was there a few years back. we took a ferry in Virginia...it was very small and it didn't cost anything

was outside for a bit, started to rain, most of Hubby's stuff still in the back of his truck from a campout...went to the rescue!
(while he sleeps peacefully, of course!) :P
is that good night for dee, or are you leaving too, vash?
brownie points fr Rosebud!
why, ty, lyn! :D
mostly I hate dealing with tangled wet clothes and sleeping bags after the fact, lol!
you're a heroine, rbud and he'd better appreciate you!
ha, y'all don't know the half of it! the things I've endured...ah, well, that's life.
welcome to the 2-toed sloth
why can't I find the last 3 J words, I wonder - are they odd? Have ja 4, ji 4 and 5, jo 4 and 6, and ju 4 x 2

TY Jilli

Well hi PAV . . . agagin! ;)
ah, the joys of life and ADD
did you fall asleep, JC?
HAHAHA! Erm, no - just been busy, elsewhere.
Not yet, Jilli - unless you call being so tired I'm only half-awake, falling asleep?
<- In zombie-like state.
Time for beddy-byes, JC

* pictures J.C. busy at several elsewheres all at once *
Oh, it happens frequently, rbud . . .

Ju6 Senior is a duo from Denmark

hi lynxxx thats also my real name minus the last letter!
Well, that's it for now -- 55 left and not seeing any more. Off to bed -- night all.
nite jilli
night, jilli!
hi NurseGladys...nice
nite Jilli, sleep well
lots of French words in the grid
g'night, jilli, peaceful rest
Awww, good night Jilli - see you again soon. :)
keep trying to make "oeuvre" - guess that's my French phantom for the night
Yes, sweetest of dreams to you, Jilli. :)
Well, that should work rbud - if it's accepting some French words!
omelette du fromage LOL
li 5 & 6 french for books
ah, ty, Just, got 'em now
Fauxmage is better, Seain. ;)
that's a quote from one of my two favorite episodes of Dexter's Laboratory, a cartoon
Oh?
cheese omelette?
hello again, can't sleep, might as well try to pick up a few more words
yes, rbud. Dexter creates a machine to play a record of french lessons to cram for an exam, but it skips all night on "omelette du fromage" and he goes through a whole day only able to say that. LOL
LOL! I've seen a few Dexters, but not that one.
welcome back, flosey!
well I'm > halfway...time for bed...
ty rbud
that episode is up there with the talking dog one for me :)
i like cartoons/animation a LOT

bye lynxxx
Funny, Seain - and annoying, for anyone having to listen to him! :P

Oh well, good then - at least something went right!
morning all
morning sprite
hey flosey
morning, sprite
hey seain too! How are you both?
alright, if up too late :)
he's not back yet from a Jimmy Buffet concert
beautiful sand sculptures, both.
ty sprite
lol and you are waiting up?
no, i ate badly tonight, so i've been nibbling Tums waiting for belly to settle
aw am sorry to hear that. *sends calming vibes to seain's belly*
and you flosey, how are you doing?
Hello Spritely!
hi, sprite! (had nose in grid)
hi lyn :) and hi rbud :)
what a great happy cat you're sporting, rbud
yes thanks Sprite - just sleepless for now, will get drowsy soon I hope
*sings sweet lullaby for flosey*
how lovely
i nro
morning, frances
Oops! Apologies.
not sure how this grid can possibly generate anything over 6, lol. It is not the easiest grid I've ever seen for certain.
lovely to see you though, Frances
Good morning. Caught lurking!
And you too sprite.
i have 5 of the 7s, so they're there. somewhere.
good to know, seain! Now you are a source I trust, as opposed to the stats ;)
LOL :">
Well I haven't. Onlyjust started and have a grand total of six words.
wtg Frances! That is the only way to success, right?
good start for you at least, Frances
I do mean six words in total - not six seven letter words.
yeah that's what I figured. I meant the only way to success is to start and find the first words.
Lol! Just wanted to clarify the situation.
*grin*
franmag is so very entertaining
am still missing her, seain
Is she around. Haven't seen her for about a year?
she just complained because i played ionomer against her in Lexulous
only on facebook, I have heard. Not here.
she's on Facebook a lot, and i'm told she plays here some, but does not chat any longer.
aw tell her *hugs* from sprite, please, seain?
I miss fran too, she is such a lovely lady
And me too please.
me three please dc
hello babblers
hi gort
how do you spell purile, if not purile?
hello gort
hello, gort
puerile - I thought it should be accepted too!
nice to see you, flosey, sprite, dc
Isn't is puerile
puerile
fireworks
congrats, anike
ahhh, ok
Well done anike.
wtg anike
seain, that should read puarile, silly
TY - have to go - family want their cake
mmmmm.... cake...
I would like some too, anike
puriel... the clean brother of Uriel
that's a variant of ur5.12
oh! Thanks seain! I always try the archangel but to no avail. Pleased to come a bit closer today.
i find it interesting that the names of the archangels are among the least-changing names across different translations of Bibles
indeed so, seain. I bet it is because they won't let silly people change them.
Luray. We had a lovely weekend in a 3-room cabin along the Shenandoah in Luray, Virginia this past Spring.
getting drowsy so off to bed again, goodnight all and luck with the puzzle
be back in the morning
sweet dreams, flosey
sleep well, flosey. I will keep up the singing, very very softly, until you are asleep.
ty both
how are you holding up atm, seain? Has all have settled down already? And how about work?
awkward sentence did I make there. Has it all settled down, I meant?
tom's mouth is healing well. I'm totally reworking my resume, though need to met with a friend to finish that, as i'm having a time summarizing my skills.
so, things are alright.
We're prepping for the trip to Cleveland, Ohio for his surgery, including at least one day at Cedar Point, a mostly roller-coaster amusement park in Sandusky, OH
and things are going better for you, i gather?
good! I knew you would be unstoppable :) And summarising your skills can never be easy, you are incredibly versatile. Good idea to bring in a friend to help with that. Here are my good wishes for you, that you may find an interesting, pleasantly challenging, incredibly well paying job soon. Nearby. With great colleagues.
thank very much for the kind blessing
not really. My feet are getting strangely numb. Will have xrays taken next week. Doc thinks it is nerve damage, coming from the lower back. Walking is a big issue. Not ready for a wheel chair yet but it is getting too close.
i have high hopes, and expectations, this round of job searching. I'm even applying for the job i held prior to this one.
good going seain! I just know you will be successful. You are an addition to any team or firm. They'd be crazy not to hire you.
Neuropathy or other neurological problem?
franmag: {{{{sprite}}} {{{frances}}} {{{flosey}}}
Keep going with the hugs, dc. Good morning/evening all.
not yet clear, will be going through the medical mill for another round now to find out. In combination with the existing neurological problems and the pelvic girdle damage, things don't look good. I cannot walk properly as it is. I really really hope this can be cured in some way.
Hi Haz. and one from me too DC
aw thanks FranMag :) Hi Haz, good morning to you.
Hello! I hope all goes well for you both, dc and sprite.
thank you Haz.
Wow thank you franmag. Wish we could chat again here.
This is not good news Sprite but please keep your chin up. They must find some way around this
thank you haz
thanks lyn, chin is up (most of the time). Cannot let life be spoiled by health issues, now can we? ;)
may it continue to go well for you on the medical front. You are lucky to be living in the future, such is it be, medically. May a useful, and permanent, fix be found for your issues, Sprite.
thank you seain, and you are right about that future thing. What they don't know yet, they may soon, perhaps.
a friend of mine is finding out about the joys of being in ones mid-life returning to uni, from the POV of living in a dorm with early 20-somethings. LOL
lol that cannot be easy!
i'm sure it's not. I've found taking a class at the local community college can be trying enough, though the night classes generally have a more serious student than the day classes, which is nice
I would suggest earplugs for your friend, btw. They work wonders for me.
a quote from him:
a quote from him:
It was a bit of a frustrating day today, as I'm finding that my patience with the other dorm-mates drops alarmingly quickly. They're early twenties, so they don't seem to mind living their own filth in so long as it doesn't deter them from going out for drinks at the end of the day. Yes, they need to get this out of their system, but I believe that a good solid sledgehammer would produce the same result in half the time, and this is the very reason why I keep to myself.
aw poor man. Isn't it possible for him to go live somewhere else?
not on the terms of his scholarship. He's a bit reclusive to start with, and he's in Japan. I'm sure he'll manage.
look on the bright side, it's a holiday weekend, dcseain
ah I see. Of course he will manage. And he will have stories to tell later
indeed.
that it is, hunter :) so i have an extra day to prep my resume and get it posted
if he takes notes, he may have a bestseller in a few years
dcseain, what part of the country are you in and what line of work?
hi Hunter
hello sprite
I'm in the Virginia suburbs of Washington DC, and i'm spanish-english bilingual technical help desk/translation
Phantom: borborygmite
apart from that, seain speaks/understands about 20 other languages too
hi BabbleRabble, glad to see you. And I don't know that one. *off to check meaning*
ever had the unique joy of working with legal types?
i have, Hunter. As a result, i absolutely refuse to ever again work for ReedSmith, but am open to the Legal sector
not sure about the ending, BabbleRabble, but ending -mi I found it. A sound I know well.
evening, babblerabble.
is there a way i can speak to you somewhere other than in this public forum?
Hello Hunter, BabbleRabble.
hello Haz
hello babblerabble
Hello
this handle on AIM or Google Talk, Hunter
good morning br. how many days left now?
or this handle at gmail
i am employed at a company that does E-Discovery and we're always looking for people with language skills because we do multi-lingual stuff
oh, neat
i will be contacting you from AIM. the handle won't be the same, but i'll announce myself
borborygmite n. - a dirty mouth, or practitioner of spurcitious--foul and obscene--language
May that never be directed towards me.
gnifty, babblerabble. :) sounds like me.
...in other words railroader
oh, that word describes my mother, and her mother, and her mother before her
like it BabRab - good find
oh that is great. The word ending -mi means sounds caused by gass in the intestines.
Seain, J.C. has told me to repeat the tale I told to him. Very funny if you want to hear it.
i'm all 'ears'
borborygmus/mi
I was chatting with Paul (my son) at his house the other day when he got an e-mail from a friend whoe said that he had been to the pub for a quiet drink and had an urgent need to pass wind. There was loud music playing so he thought if he timed it to the beat of the music no one would notice. He did that until the music stopped and when he looked up everyone was glaring at him.
that was it, BabbleRabble. Interesting word, especially the -mite one. So much more elegant than fartmouth.
He then realised that there was no music in the pub. . . . . . . . He had his ipod plugged into his ears!!!
ouch Frances
I cried laughing when I heard that.
ROFL
fireflies. Bye all, thanks for the great chat. Seain, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. May Hunter be a headhunter and bring you something good!
Bye sprite, have a good day.
congrats sprite, and may your day be wondrous!
congrats, sprite
thanks all, all the best to you and yours.
This is day 249. There are 116 days left in 2009.
ty
I guess nobody else thought that as funny as I did!
i did :)
send it in to reader's digest
Thank you seain.
yvw, Frances
huh. the monkeys paid off.
You obviously have a sense of humour seain.
thank you :)
frances, thank you for sharing, I was also ROFL
it's just that I tend to stay in lurking mode lately
My pleasure Chrissie. Anything to raise a smile . . . . . or an eyebrow.
I did not comment ... so obviously I do not have a sense of humor ... got it
what a very happy fountain in your icon, Chrissie
yes dc, he makes me smile too
Yes BabRab ... got it.
well, i'm off to sleep.
happy babbling, yall!
Sleep well seain.
{poof} Thank you!
good night dc
and finished... liked this grid, loved the fact it had a vi5, in6, no9 and a phantom nurse to tend to them. Happy babbling to all :)
S
any clues on 2nd ru4/5?? tried monkeying everything but no joy
got it TY
have 1 ru 4/
good morning everyone
good morning, jacq
how's the flood situation today?
the waters are receeding fast, but we saw some of the damage when we went to elgin and i saw the pics on the news and on sky's web site, thos epoor people
the sun is out and there is a good forecast for the nexr few days
will there be enough aid quickly enough toi get thngs back to normal for those folk before their lives are really disrupted?
it's all dependent on how quickly they can get back home
small blessings, you need all the dry weather you can get....
does the council get directly involved in the clean up or leave that to larger gov't organisations?
both, if there is a lot of damage they will subcontract work out and that takes time too
but i know environmental health get involved as do some volunteer organisations like the red cross etc
how many words?
145
was there damage to sewer systems? is water potable still?
i don't know kate
all they are speaking about is the clean up
expect it's okay then...otherwise they'd be telling you to boil water before use...so that's good
nods it is
a lot of flood damage in basements? or are there few basements in your area?
we don't have many basements we call them cellars and only much older houses have them
too difficult for construction in rocky ground , i suppose?
possibly kate
we use "cellar" here as well..forgot to translate..;o)
lol
did you end up going out last night?
no i didn't, but i did end up getting woke up by the two of them yelling at each other at 7 am
didn't get to bed till after 2
it's a bit tricky, i try to keep looking at icon, so i know what" language" to speak...
lol it's ok kate, i get most americanisms
bother....what could have been that important at 7am on sunday morn?
AM NOT AMERICAN...oops...canadians never yell,......^_^
apparently him not getting up with the baby
u aren't kate but as we chat more and more online we assume the isms of the people we speak with, would never insult you kate
uh oh...delinquent in fatherly duties...sofa for him.
sighs
not really insulted...realize that americanisms are insidious
they are sadly
we'll just have to introduce some of out own wee ones
i keep seeing a 9, have tried it several times but it won't allow it lol
when i went to uk at millennium, first thing i saw when debarking plane at heathrow was a starbucks...almost lost it. here i was in the land of tea and crumpets...and amer. coffee...frou frou coffee at that!!!! i almost chiked...true!
very saddening...
LOL kate
the 9 starts : meaning - "not"
oops...choked...
was very distressed by that..other than thart had wonderful trip...felt at home from the moment i landed. i am quite sure that i was destined to live there...
didn't want to leave ever. wondered how easy it would be to be an illegal alien...
very easy
don't tell me that...i'll be packing a bag in 10 minutesw and counting air miloes...
there was a point where you could immigrate if grandparents were from uk...unfoirtunately, both sides of my family have been in n. america since before there was a usa, never mind a canada....
lol
when i win lottery...will come and stay at broughton castle..now a very toppy mini hotewl...
you could always marry a scot
still working on geneology...lots of vrecords permanently lost when the red coats burned down the first white house...most military recordes gone... leaft a dead end for many...have to hiunt through graveyards and old sexton's records
almost did... the chef i mentioned was scots...from ary...ei wanted toi go to gratna green
we dated for ages ads teenagers...then got back together in our 30's, but he had had a failed marriage that permanently damaged him...he'll never be any where near the same..too bad he wds my first love and i think we could have been very happy together..just met each other too young
SIGH
chance of marrying a brit has gone down considerably..all this importation of hot russian/ slaavic girls willing to do anything to come to uk...
pouring coffee...brb

Dinner? Where are you Kate, I just woke up but I couls maybe make it in time ;)
LOL

well look at that, I am just in Ottawa, a mere 5 hours away
plenty of time to make it for dinner, eno. ;-)
and then you would be waiting another four hours for when i finish my evening shift..lol
I have only ever been in Toronto airport
a lot less if you fly... 1' 10" i think...
but by the look of things, I guess I won't be done with this grid though, I'll take a raincheck
ouch I would be starving by then!
oh kallia - toronto is a great city
lol eno
was on my way to Victoria
also nice. :-)
yes it is really great...i would miss it, but it is changing very quickly...need to be where the clock doesn't go at double time...

I was wondering about that - i usually try to work those types of words out, God help me. ;-)
it sure does kate. lol (couldn't resist)
favourite word : "autodidact" , niot very fancy, not very resonant...but nice just the same. have an affinity for it
well, you never know about affinity - but that word is a good one too like. always learning. :-)
br keeps us on our toes...improving other's vocab. is his calling, to be sure. am impressed if i actually knoiw the word that he tossed out. ^_^
it is a life philosophy as much as a word can be
is lickety up today? I think I am going to need it
that is true kate
85 left, going to make pancakes for the kids, take 2 tylenols and come back!

phantom: onion!
That was it Kate! TY!
That's the one!
NBT! Hooray!
wtg CAr
you were very close to where my great-grandmother'[s family was from, and my great-great uncle chester lived. medina. (lockport, middleport, gasport, medina...following the canal)
yw, vry glad to help...so seldom happens
:o)
Yesterday we kayaked on 18-Mile Creek north into Lake Ontario at Olcott. We often kayak on Oak Orchard River north of medina so drive through that adorable town a lot.
Go Car go!
there used to be a restaurant out of town on the road from buffa;lo...the orchard. where we used to eat whenevere we had a family funeral...old family plot near there
how was the kayaking? you had good weathr for it!
Nice day, lots of wildlife sightings, but the creek was loaded with vegetation--duckweed, slime, reeds. It would be nicer there in the spring.
Morning!
The lake was wild and wavy--tough paddling
Any Crossy sightings?
Hi SG--haven't seen you in a while.
How is your abd pain, SG?
i have been here just not when you have been here
not seen Crossy this morning
No Crossy since I have been here.
the doctor was lacking in any bnedside manner or personality -- she has ordered an US. She thought I needed prylosec - NOT. I shall not be filling that Rx
Yes, often all abd pain is attributed to GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease) rather than doing careful questioning or testing.
i have no reflex.
reflux
The sonogram is a good idea to start with
good morning everyone;)
Crossy i have been waiting for you!
Morning Crossy!
weeee FIREWORKS!
Crossy i found something for you two days ago in the Whole Foods Market - a dark chocolate bar with BACON!
yaa for nono;)
go nono
Hi Cwossy!
Yippee Nono! I have found just 20 words--getting caffeinated and alert slowly.
lol ive seen it science;) quite tasty,but alas i must cut bacon on my bacon a tad,along with tomato sauce,coffe,and other greasy stuff,nasty acid refux:/
I saw a teeshirt the other day that said "Bacon makes everything better!" made me think immediatly of you Crossy
sorry i really wanted to send a couple to you :)
love the t-shirt;)
congrats, nono
morning crossy

14.95 u.s. yes...but the aussie dollar is very strong vs. u.s. now...good deal!

Looking for work. When unemployed I become a night person
I am a night person too and revert to that when I can sleep in the next day.

this is a hard grid;/
goes faster with list...
looking for volunteers to help jar tomato juice
are you south phae?
we just went through a time-traveling experience (hubby and i) when we had to purge/organize files as part of our basement project - I likened it to an archaelogical dig through our past
south of what?
when judy?
we had pay stubs, job applications, work products, etc. from every job we've ever had
southern u.s.
I know what you mean JBV, and I don't have a basement
right now, TK. Have tomatoes in the sink ready to core and cook. Pot of water on the stove to "cook" the jars.
no Trader...I'm in NE Michigan right now
well, our goal was to reduce the 16 file drawers down to about 4 (or maybe 8) for the new basement design
oh on side note we are very lucky here.we had a f2 class tornado come through here last week.all homes and busineses in town were spared but all our orchards west of town of blue mtns have been declared a disaster area..we stand to lose over 90% of our orchard production for the next 4 years.send a prayer for our farmers please
ty...just curious...
But we do go south for the winter :)
ugly grid today; only have 51
i'll be there in 6 hrs. judy...too late?
damn, TK. Yep, too late. LOL
very sensible, phae
better than i'm doing, have 46
bad news about the orchards, crossy
coming from toronto...bridge will be busy this weekend...
even the apples still on trees have debris embedded in them;(
hahahahahaha TK
Ty Trader, we think so ...lol
oh, no Crossy
wow, never thought of that possibility, crossy - debris embedded in fruit!
crosy loves canning..the first day,then it becomes hell
for next 4 years crossy? lose all of trees in orchards?
yup jbv,and all the ones on ground cannot be used for juice as they were still 3 weeks away from ripeness
guess I'm jarring alone today. LOL gotta go for now. bbl
nothing is ripe in ne michigan, cold and rainy summer
baby trees are ordered a year oin advance9no spares) and a tree has to be 3 to 4 years old fro fruit
bye Judy

this is going to kill the apple harvest
frresh bloody marys maybe?
Very sad, Crossy
they were 3 weeks away from harvest too!
okay for sauce/juice
the ones on ground are all garbage
no kate
they sour content is too high for juice
knew it was bad but...not that bad
and you shake the ones still standing and you can hear then rattle as thier cores have been torn;(
ok enough sadness for now,bumming myself out here
have needed same 24 words for 2 hours now...should pack it in and do something more productive...
post up a hot pic for me kate:) make crossy better lol

The prefixes ***- and un- both have the meaning ‘not’, but tend to be used with a difference of emphasis, ***- being weaker and more neutral than un-. For example, unnatural implies that something is not natural in a bad way, whereas ***-natural is neutral.

Good Morning fellow Babblers. I finally got NBT at 35 words. There are too manu "U"'s in the grid for my comfort
and all of those V and J words? YUKKKK!
I agree Nef
Good afternoon, folks!
he beach and Takuma
hiya Tak
yow -- looks like a tough grid today
so far I'm not doing very well; but then again, I'm a bit distracted today and not totally focused on it
I thought I was focused, but the grid is giving me some doubts
I keep wanting to type in vapor
phantom: ailuron
dr an anagram of that is in there
it is??? Ok thanks TO- was beginning to think Iwas alone in here
i am cooking and babbling...not a good combination for those for whom i cook
anybody here?
howdy T.O
I am but I am the phone
hello crossy
50 words in and the going is tough;/
No body here but us chickens!!
this is a stinker cross
ok off the phone now

Wow- Hi all the lurkers and chickens who are coming to chog
looking for the 7 below it
p wow I am having difficultiues with the 4's today!!
take out the opposite of out TO
french no+ 12 of your peers
that should have been 9!!
Good afternoon, evening all.
howdy haz
y cross and dr and hi haz!
Hi Haz
I think my 'hello!' post was swallowed there.
i must take a moment to check out this bottle of marinade that has probabl been in my father'scupboard for three years. i have chops and they need marinating
Hopefully it won't be glowing or be about to explode.
hmmm will work for veggies but not for chops i think
3 year old marinade?
well actually best by end of feb09 = still fine
should be about 240 proof by now;0
remind me not to ask for milk at your place;0
have just finihsed frying cubanelles and onions for a relish
No problem then.
crossy: the refrigerator of an 86 year old is not for the faint of heart :O
help with the al5 please?
and I am the one going senile as I have forgotten in include the red pepper i bought at great price
lol reminds me of the time years ago wife and i were at her parents place for a bit.we would eat chilli,chicken and salad for a month,then one day all this food would be on the table.so i ask mother in law what gives and she says we have to eat it all today as it expires tommorow!
so true TO_ My 83 yr old MIL has yogurt, margarine, 2 pieces of fruit and bread in her fridge.. mostly eats microwave dinners
al5 - three for the greatest boxer, two for the start of three feet in measurement terms
however the joy is by the miracle of wifi i am here on a public network, babbling away as i cook
ty Haz!
You're welcome, DR.
Wi-fi is quite something.
we are in an appt,so waredriving is an issue with wi-fi;(
i am sure it s here too - but i figure as long as i am not banking or anything...there are seve busnesses here that have wifi for customers
i guess we are near enough to get them
we had a case here where some waredriving idiot tapped into someones wi-fi signal and proceeded to use it to view and dl child porn..took police a while to straighten it all out
ugh! How awful Crossy
so for now i stay hard wired;(
i use the hotel's wi fi when i travel
nothing wrong whith that
i just got over my fears about it and now this story! :(
sorry T.O
said idot had his tower taken apart by the pros and they did find out the real perv..in a week
customers use wifi in the cafe where I work--all day, every day--no one has ever reported a problem
99% are good users,just that 15
ok so this marinade smells like vinegar more than honey or garlic - i thnk i will thin ou some bbq sauce for a marinade
1%*
evening all..
Hello rolin.
if it is all vinegar smell,id toss it
howdy rolin
this is not a nice grid
it is an evil grid actually
bbs
crossy...have you heard of a tv series called 'carnivale'?
it is too twisty for me
I am not finding basic words
had my bible on the shelf above the monitor displaying this grd and it started smoking,so had to move the bible
no rillin i have not
hmm..im trying to find out where in the world it is shown..must be the u.s. somewhere
That sounds about right Crossy
and wife has about 3000 channels on her idiot box and i have not seen it
how can there be 10xj words?..
Rollin- I googled it and it says it is on HBO
3000 channels???....wow..and i bet theres still nothing to watch..lol
i have 5 j words at this time
yes dr...i knew hbo made it...
anyway...i down loaded...sshhhhh... and it is weird..but good...just wondered if anyone else has seen it
lol rolin,i would not know,i turn it on for dirty jobs on discovery and for episodes of house
oh i love house...
house rocks
I have not seen it but the web page on it looks interesting.. may have to check it out
cant wait for next series
We love House too...
do dr.... its a bit twin peakish i have to say
now if a real guy treated you like hose does,you would shoot him
I loved Hugh Laurie when he was on PBS
hmm..i better go put the beans on for dinner...roast pork with all the trimmings...yum..cya all another time..
Bye Rollin-
Hello Babblers!
Hello Babblers!
Isn't Julian also an adjective in English?
Hi Purple
adjective: of or relating to or characteristic of Julius Caesar ("The Julian calendar")
Ooppps! My cat's sitting on my mouse...
brb store run..semi poof
Add Words won't take it though. : \
It's because it would be capitalised, purple.
Oh! A capitalised adjective. I see!
It's the same as Afro, it won't take that either.
I often have a problem with that. We don't capitalise adjectives in French.
French is more sparing of capitals all round.
Thanks for the information, Haz.
No problem. Not all adjectives are capitalised, only those that relate to a proper no4/5 or name.
I've noticed. The last one I wanted was European and it wouldn't take it.
There's no problem in trying, sometimes things go through when you don't expect it.
ty haz for the no4
It cheats , though - some that should be capitalized aren't - Eros and Tesla, for instance.
Add Mr Gore for the no6 as well.
mr, gore is getting quite a workout today.
rian
eros is only capitalized when referring to the god, not to the emotion... and tesla is only when referring to the man, not the measurement
so not really cheating
*wanders in an hugs everyone....* hello all! how's this grid?
Hello stidmama. It depends who you ask.
not bad stid
another user friendly grid, stid
i am down to 17 listless
but am considering a break for food
HAZ! hi there! stidgmere is in IRELAND!!!! she says it's been a bit damp
crossy hates this grid
Your mother is obviously the mistress of the understatement, stidmama.
lol
We've had a run of 'soft' days.
well, she's in Dublin at the moment, maybe not so bad there? And we are used to a LOT of rain here.
ok - bbiab
((cross))
It's hard to say, stid, it might be a bit drier there (being wildly optimistic and probably highly inaccurate)
ok time to cook in earnest. bb'
As long as she's packed her raincoat and isn't expecting to sunbathe, she'll be fine.
LOL Haz.
later TO!
She's coming north, isn't she?
hmm so if i isit ireland i willl never have a goo dhair day
yes, soodlebum warned me the day she was packing so she added back in her standard Pacific NW gear... raincoat, small umbrella and waterproof walking shoes
We do have some sunshine some days, TO.
they are taking a tour of the island and will make a circuit around the coast.
The Antrim coast road is pretty, I hope she enjoys it.
well, it's our homeland, so at the very least it will be interesting.
I will go someday...
As long as she's felt welcome so far, that's great. Your ancestors are from Downpatrick, isn't that right?
yes, the ones that we know for sure, the others... *shrug* how many john murphy's do YOU know? LOL
The annoying thing about my ancestors was that they would keep calling each other by the same names. They either had no imagination or were under severe obligation to honour the previous generation.
blah. I am NOT liking the U tiles
Nice cane, stid .. is it lightweight so you have no problem raising cane?
yes, we had some of those, too -- after John Calkins came from England, we are descended from Samuel, his son Samuel, his son Samuel, his son Samuel, and his son Alva... before we get to RuthAnn who married a one-legged shoemakers.
yes, BR, just light enough to lift easily, just heavy enough to make an impact when the kids get rowdy.
raising cain
LOL BR
Is your hip better today?
yes, it is -- or was before I lifted several boxes and carried them into the office to unload.
I am resting for another ten minutes, then will get up and see if walking helps or hurts more.
Anybody care to scold stidmama?
what did I do wrong this time? *sob*
I told her not to do something like that yesterday ... rather head strong
strong head, weak hips... like my german shepherd dog... LOL
Lifting boxes when you have a cane to use to point to said boxes for your boys to lift.
ah, but boys spent the night at a friend's house and Tom didn't get up until about an hour ago... LOL I was on my own!
this afternoon, I promise to use the cane to full advantage.
You promise?
CROSS my heart and all that jazz. *nodding head*
oh! speaking of CROSS... Sciencegeek found... *drumroll* CHOCLIT WITH BACON IN IT!
Good.
Good referring to your promise. Good grief referring to chocolate bacon.
big deal .. I found bacon with crossy in it
hold on a sec, haz -- want to load this pic of Lucky to flickr... he has his firehose in his mouth, and he is so cute!
rofl... oh no! that doesn't sound too appetizing.
okay, the pic is up in flickr, should be able to see him in my profile... *proud mama look* he's my baby.
Looking now.
hi all
hey nrk!
how are you? recovered from your casino trip?
is it me, or have our grids been a little sticky lately?
Hello nrkii.
Lucky looks ready for action.
yep, all recovered from gambling losses :)
this one seems sticky to me, I am not seeing much fast.
yep. he was most disappointed that I was busy AND it was raining so hard.
I'm down to 37 left, but not finding a thing for last 30 minutes
You need to seek your refund from BabbleRabble. He described it as user friendly so....
stid, did you just move? you mentioned boxes...
hi, all! are there very many "re" words? only found 2 so far, not (yet) listing, just wondering.
go nrk go!
I am down to 93. *sigh*
hey rbud!
rbud, I've only found 1 so far, but not listing yet here either
4 re words
I need the U from the middle column please? and the N in the middle row also.
ooh, there are 2 more res!
un4 and un5 stid
ty, Haz! duh, just found a fishy re4 I shoulda got long ago...
the un5 is state of the un***
thanks nrk
ni 5, think kung fu movies, the guys in black
No problem, rbud.
yes! got my first 7
I have re4, re5, re4... missing?
gah. stidkid #2 would be very disappointed I missed that N! LOL
re 5 - to speak again?
yes, thanks!
and NBT with 84 to so.
(the only TRUE re-word I've seen so far)
I've got all the R's now, so that is the only true RE here
So all those others are imposters?
absolute imposters... wannabes
just not "do-again" words.Still 3 more R's from the other one to find...
yep. slacker re-words.
just found interesting S5 word, that sounds like what you say when you apologize
The re do-again words could be accused of being parasites. Not imaginative enough to be words in their own right.
thanks for that one. looks paleolithis to me.
already have all the S's, thank goodness, got'em last night - can hint if needed.
hello! is the lone i an in5?
Dr. God taketh away and giveth. I finally got my perfect ranking again, so I dont recall ever not finishing a grid 30 days ago.
also have all the Y's and J's.
I'm short 4 S's... have sa x 5, se x 5, sp x 4, and su x 1
go inge go!!!! HUZZAH!

good morning all
hello gang! i am taking a break from chores. i sealed the back deck and will paint the front deck next.
Good morning lynxxx.
there. past halfway and going to stand and walk around for a bit. (((lynxxx))) sorry to greet and run...
Hello, Scrabbler
bigger ones are: sa 6, sa 7 x 3, se 7, sp 6
Hello Scrabbler.
hi & bye, Stid!
hi lynxxx and scrabs
SCRABBLER-COUSIN! you're almost a year older! and I completely forgot to send a card... *sigh*
yep, 50 on the 8th
um.... already? I should maybe send a red hat instead? LOL (((hugs scrabbler and leaves before anyone else apparates))) *poof*
Scrab, when do you get another candle? I have the 29th reerved for me
Congrats Scrabbs! halfway there...and the new job soon to get you on your way - lovely!
Well, now I know
Inge, the 29th is the first day of new job for me! Yippee!
Although last night I served as game doc at the school's football game. New practice = school docs. I saw banged up boys!
I thought this school stuff was already the new assignment
The practice to which I am jo**ing are the school docs thus 1 job = attend football games.
so officially you start work on the 29th, but they are letting you try out beforehand?
Not try out but to help cover the game assignments as the games require a doc to be present
Are you low man on the totem pole, so you get the odd jobs?
Anything new on the PTO issue, Scrabbler?
greetings on this fine day all ye fellow babblers; what ho?
crossy,s back for the last half of this evil grid;/
hi traderkate and crossy
could someone clue the sa7's?
Gee, did the bus just arrive?
My attorney sister drafted a nasty attorney letter which I will edit (tone down a bit) and e-mail later today or tomorrow.
crossy, people will talk...i just showed up myself...
Hello again BR, Kate + Crossy
hi nrkii
BRB--must scrounge up lunch
hi Crossy & Kate
sa 7 32 = sa** braten + *** Fleming (author of Bond books)

Hi everybody.
sa 7 is brit spelling for flavorful or tasty
hi scrabs,
ah, those darn canadians and their spelling!
thanks
kate,i told you to wait 15 minutes ;))
sa7/40 - first letters of tasty, mix up four letters of wet stuff from sky.
hi br, lyn. hAZ., soodles, crossy, jane....
sa 7/40 used to be or is a coffee rand
hi inge, stiddie, and rbud ;o)
it's also a french sponge cake
LOL crossy (blushing)
^brand^
thanks
dont forget those u,s my american friends;))
savours
crap

cakes that sponge ... what is this world coming to?
crossy trudges off to the pb

av5 birdlike
av5 = av + mr. fleming author of bond books
okay, I concede... need list now
thanks
yw ;-)
av 5=a birdy wordy;)
last pot of tomatoes cooking; 12 qts and 1 pt of tomato juice so far; 3 loads of wash done (2 more to go); where's my massage?
hello, CJ .. reward yourself
hi Judy.!
hi judy!
howdy; it will be time for a margarita when I officially finish
clean up sucks
it alway amazes me that I cannot find any words and walk way but when I come back, I see a bunch more!
V's? have va x 4, vi x 2, still need 5! :(
8 va words
Back now with veggie burgers for lunch, with barbecue sauce. yummy.
3 vi words
ty, Haz! ooh, found 2 more weird va's...down to 3 v's
veggie burgers? eww....they tried those things at our local mcD,s..they lasted 1 week
You're welcome.
I used to like garbanzo burgers, pretty yummy if done right.
back to the kitchen! bbl still need 76 :(
though i do use tofu when i do stir fry,s on occasion
Boca Burgers--portobello mushroom + mozzarella = delish!
Time for me to go. Happy babbling, see you tomorrow.
dash of oxo liquid cow and its all good;))
bye Haz
tc haz
Crossy, please come here and regrout my shower tiles.
bye, Haz!
bye haz
Bye Hazel
lol snap scwabby,did mine just last week
bye haz, enjoy the evening
dont let them wait scrabbs,all kinds of damage can happed with cracked grout lines
hi une. :-)
It's easy, Crossy? I have had all of the supplies for 4 wks but have been afraid to begin the task.
The damage already happened--tiles fell out!
you can get a grout line scraper for 3 dollars and a 7 pound box of grout for 10.its very easy scrabbs
scrabs...did stiddie say she was your cousin?
is the drywall beind the tiles,black or damp?
Stid's husband is my first cousin.
*holds head in shame* Yes, Crossy
ok, scrabs
it will all have to go then scrabby
Oh, no, why, Cross?
that must make him the oldest cousin you have
redrywall with wonderboard=40 dollars a sheet
black mold
Haha, BR.
So I have to remove ALL of the tiles and place drywall? Please, Crossy, just come down here and stay for a week.
find a dry line way above the damage,and take out tiles and drywall and any insulation to that point
scrabs should hang head in sham....tsk, tsk, tsk....yu don't need a man to regrout your tiles.....you are quite capable of doing it yurself...there's nothing to fear but fear itself...and if you goof(impossible) no one will know unless you tel them....
you may save some of it if you can match the tile
i have old tile 3 feet down and the rest is new
No, Kate, I noticed grout wearing down long ago and ignored it, then tiles fell out mid-July.
nrkii sitting quietly shaking with fear...
first time is daunting but easy after that
scrabbs, i think crossy's advice is sound
fear
I have all of the supplies and watched a video. But now this new drywall idea...argh!
and it's not as scary as you fear
when you remove tile and drywall use carpet knife and hammer,you can remove tile and old drywall in chunks that way
why does nrkii quake so?
I am ready for placing tile + grout, bought a "floater"....
cause im telling you now,if tiles fell off then drywall behind is suspect
nrkii might have grout that's been cracking for a while.... maybe
get a Tiler in Scrabs
if it is not black and totaly dry then you can leave it
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, extra step needed now?
go to a diy deminar at home depot...they'll let you practice and help you with technique.
think im just scaring her;((
Lynxx, I like doing projects myself...washed and sealed back deck, repaired toilet, painting front deck = recent projects
did you buy tile spacers while you were shopping??
no tile in my bathroom, whew!
or take out tile and put in tub surround...but buy a good one...not a cheapie..you'll be glad yu spent the extra
I will go look at drywall now
if any of it is black,it must go
replacing the tile and the backer board shouldn't be too scare then. Remember to protect the tub from falling debris
well, the grout that's been cracking is all at the bottom, so maybe if I bite the bullet and address it soon I'll be okay... I've been putting it off because it's gonna hurt my shoulder to deal with it
It is neccessary Scrabbler once you have mold it will spread. The drywall just hammers on but you need the concrete board to attach tiles to. That is why it is more expensive
repaired toilet but afraid o tiles??????
vila
nrkii,is the wall still firm when you push on it?
As do O Scrabs, but sometimes a professional is the fastest and easiest bway, especially when you are working
toilets are easier by a long shot, kate
uria
dunno, haven't pushed on it
ttry it,if it is still firm you may be able to get away with a regrouting
Excellent pint lynx. The hard part is finding one who is good.
PATXXX wrong window. And hello :)
okey doke... will try on Wednesday, when I'm back home... for now can live in blissful ignorance 200 miles away
if you wait,you are with scrabbs nrkii:/
Patxx, please insert words I don't have when you do that. I appreciate it very much.
LOL
can she hear you from the PB
crossy learned hard way;(
That was nothing to do with me. My mouse is obviously making a bid for control, in which case I expect at least correct words!
crossy still learning
crossy still learning
yes, Hi, Pat - love your line about your dog doing some gardening, then you fill it in, haha!
I don't know but I wanted her to know it was something else I am grateful for today.
kate, no valid words entered, alas
put up new studs within the existing space, add the sheet rock and tiles ... and the old stuff can fall down in peace
fireworks!!!
Back from shower inspection. Drywall behind absent tiles is intact with brown slime--I covered this ar4 with 2 trash bags.
congrats, nrkii
hello, and yay for nrk
now i always keep grout saw and bag of grout ahndy and as soon as i see one crack im on it;0
congrats, nrkii
oh well we can hope...thought might get ger to stock for tonight while she was there
Congrats nrkii!
it has to go then scrabby
Cross, I didn't buy tile spacers because I though that was for floors. I was going to insert 1 tile at a time
sorry
it needs to go then, scrabbs
congratulations nrkii
*almost crying now after Crossy's advice*
sorry scrabs
some have raised edges to seperate tile anyways scrabbs,but that drywall is first concern
crossy feels bad now;((
Congrats N and hi Doren.
crossy, you are merely the messenger
pros will tell you same im afriad
hi, doren
don't need tile spacers scrabs. esp. if only replacing some tiles
Hello, Dorens
PUtting the tiles in is MUCH easier than you think it will be. You won't want to do it one at a time.
I need the advice, Cross, but now do I do it myself, pay someone, or get Bathfitter to put ina full tub/shower?
you CAN save by buying your own wonderboard ahead of time and have it handy for whoever ends up doing it
He is a Labrador, a stomach on legs. He is currently matching up brown patches on the lawn. I sometimes wonder if it is doggie soduko!
finally decided to have my sprained foot looked at, cause it hurt a lot more last nite than it had earlier. came back from ER on crutches and in a very attractive castboot. yuck.
hi Dorens
kate,from what i hear will be more than a few..with slimy drywall it is a given
My advice - Do what ever will cause you the least amount of stress and more Babble time, Scrabbler.
sorry to hear that Dorens!
yes, dogs are SO helpful with flowers, gardens, lawns - riiiiight! (not!)
home depot...go to free seminar...they'll show yu how and you can practise technique..look on line at different locations...also loew's
Great advice, Bugsaw!
scrabbs, if you're going to pay someone, get materials in advance, and pay them to redo whole of tile backing.
So, Doren, fractured or sprained?
bath fitter is EXCELENT!! but cost in-law 2500 by the time they left
ahem. Any teensy weensy clues for the NO 9, please
Dorens...was something broken rather than sprained?
Rose? Does your dog do grouting?
fracture or sprain, doren?
Yikes, Crossy, I was guessing $800.
one day all done with bath fitters
if you do end up with bath fitter, get a GOOD one... my parents got one and its all cracked now
but if top good...replace rows on bottom as needed...you have a guide form the ones left in place above
in laws got new taps etc
they will advise for free
just bad sprain, scrabs. I did it hiking on monday evening, and it had gotten better, so I got lax and was walking on it more than i should have. probably should have seen doc earlier and taken it more seriously
and there is black around the cracks, so more problems going on behind it again!!!
yup
How do I not install one tile at a time? I must, right?
mold must go
haha, BR - no such luck with dog and grout - but I like your advice, build new interior wall and let the rest fall down inside, lol! (too bad the mold will stiil be hiding in there...)
I can't do this grid. I need 72 and I haven't had an idea for ages.
But I can clean all removed tiles and place these back in, right?
scrabby if your really interested i can give you full rundown ..my addy is chipdip33@hotmail.com
soodles (prefix for not) + (in 6/42 : an ouchie)
ill put you on my list,easier that way
hope dorens gets better soon...<passes her an ice paack>
ty, TK, great clue, my first word is the 9! Only 143 left to go....
Thank you Kate. Dorens, this is one definitely NOT for you, you poor thing!
Hi, everyone!
hello, JB
pat...take a walk for 20 mins. that always helps
Doren, may it heal soon. Sprains are horrible to deal with.
Hey, dcs, long time!
with a step by step ypu can do it all for,id say aroud 300 dollars
you got the hard one out of the way...;o))
{{~~~healing thoughts~~~}} @ dorens
hi jbn
Doren: get a Swedo canvas brace and use that for months to prevent re-in6.
hi dc
may i get a hint for yu5 pls?
thanks all. i am definitely starting the pathetic self-pity thing and need to snap out of it... only a sprain, right? but i'd rather be on a long bike ride today
Instead of tiles, I used concrete blocks
found it!
will check that out scrab. months? really? months? :(
or do it br,s way with 8 inch cinder blocks are durabond 90 lol
doren, i had a very serious sprain to wrist that required 6 months in a brace and physical therapy to recover from.
what crossy said
nothing like that institutional look eh br? lol
nothing like that institutional look eh br? lol
Ty Kate but I am sure if I'd come up with that word at school I would have been in trouble..
ouch, dc
well, you can paste smiley faces on the blocks
and you can intersperse glass blacks with the concrete ones for a brutalist look
kate is confused again, sorry pat, thought yu needed a break to refresh...
Doren, it gives the ankle stability but some mobility. Costs only about $12. Some come with a high velcro strap.
clue for sa 7/40 please
put in a rock climbing wall, scrabs
matches, an old brand of coffee. Starts like tasty sa, continues like opera song, ends in consonant
actually not ankle but top of foot in front of ankle.. that is good thing, right? whole top of foot is blue now, though
durabond 90 is wonder material :-)
*thinking of dcseain singing*
oh no seain, sorry for you. hope mine is nothingn like that! (not liking these crutches one bit though)
I have had several breaks but still this grid keeps its secrets.
i sing well enough to get cast in musical productions.
doren, than you, though that was many years ago.
Hi to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing today
And your song got me the sa, ty, dc!
Doren, I sprained an ankle in med school--not fun.
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
Hi Min
Hi, Minver!!!
when I sing in the shower, the tiles fall off
hi Min
ty dc
i'm supposed to follow up with an orthopod tomorrow or wednesday, so we'll see what he says.
Haha, BR
@ BR - Hence, the cinderblocks!
i'm sure babrab has a lovely voice
hello all, help with ju6 pls
Hi Peri
They have showers in FlatEarth????
Hello periwinkle! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
the younger, ,peri
hi Peri
Not senior, Peri
younger peri, I like that :)
just realized that was a clue, thanks, Doren
thanks Scrabs
yw peri :-)
figures. cat crawls on me so the dryer buzzes. bye-bye kitty. bbs
lol, hi, peri the younger!
never fails with my cat either dc
hi there, JB, long time
who needs cigarettes when one has animals.
thinking of making spagetti with homemade pesto for dinner
sounds delicious peri. i must go make myself a latte to keep awake -- i don't need to use the crutches if I'm only going a couple of feet away from my desk, do I?
yum, sounds like a plan, peri
mmm, spaghetti. Maybe tomorrow. Tonight is meatloaf (with a layer of mozzarella hidden inside), mashed potatoes, salad, and brownies for dessert.
hello 50 t0 g0
nice sounding meatloaf. i love meatloaf... so many good ones
Now, now, dorens, ease off the sprain as much as possible, doctor knows best!
hello harp
Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
ok, crutches it is
I am not overly fond of meatloaf, but DH loves it, and so I make it with love (aaaawwwww)
grandma had a layer of whole boiled eggs set into the top of her meatloaf, so tops of eggs were lightly browned, and each slice had a slice of egg in it.
Hey, harp - go!!
Sounds like it was good for breakfast, too, dcs
i am definitely craving comfort foods, which i usually avoid. pasta, meatloaf, you guys are killing me!
(going for nbt before the latte)
Sorry, Dorens, if it makes you feel better, I'll add soy to it
nah, skip the soy, but the mozzaella is intriguing
are we having virtual food?
It worked great with cheddar (like a baked cheeseburger), so we're going to try the mozz to compare
Sure, kje, it's spaghetti and meatloaf night
it will demand an appropriate basily tomato sauce then.
well, some of them are having real food. peri pasta, jb meatloaf. doren, virtual. (i think) if i have to stop exercising then i really need to watch the caloric intake
Hello kje! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
spaghetti and meatloaf? not meatballas?
hi minver!
whats up with the exercising dorens... are you OK?
different suppers, kje!!
hi min, hi peri the younger
sprained ankle, on crutches now
hi kje
ooooooooooooooooohhhhh bummer!
hi TK
Doren, you are in the acute inflammatory phase of your in6. It will get better soon.
Hi kje
comfort food: porcupines ( we called them horse balls in my family)
sympathies, dorens.... make sure you see PT, and do everything they say!
yes, ma'am. thanks. i know you're right. (but is it true that I need to use the crutches even to go just a few feet away? seems a bother)
Hi TraderKate! How is your Labor Day weekend going
15 qts 4 pts tomato juice. I twitched my nose but the damn dishes are still here.
blue foot does not sound very appealing...crutches do not say come hither...
Dorens, I pushed through a sprained ankle injury when I was 25, and regretted it for about 5 years. I had a weather ache in it, and the weather changed a LOT in NH!!
hah, my yes ma'am was to scrabs, but now to kj also.
I just remembered that I have to work tomorrow, 9-2:30. Yuck.
if they said so... you do it, young lady!
judy, all finished the juice?
very nice, Judy! Bloody Maries all around!
oh jb, not a good thing. ditto scrab, not a good thing.
Hello CiociaJudy!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
Yes TK!!! Oooooo great dc. thx
Keep it elevated, Doren--above level of heart.
hiya Min! How are you this fine day?
yes scrabs it is.. i had done that the first two days and then was negligent. that really was a problem
I'm going to bed. It must be me but the grid has foxed me and I'm not enjoying it. I just know I will be up in the middle of the night trying to figure out why I'm so thick today! PS it is 9pm here, time i had an early night. Perhaps that's the problem
@ dorens - that's what we're telling you!! Bother now, no bother later!! :)
Sleep well, Pat
may i have a bloody mary for making the suggestion
sweet dreams, pat
bye patxxx
@CJudy - hey, share some with peri for her spaghetti tonight!
and kate, i did say all around! *passes kate a bloody mary*
ok, ok, i got that now. just sorry i didn't get medical advice earlier... was silly not to. just thought it was better quickly. i've learned my lesson
get a fresh start tomorrow pat...no biggie
i have 14 left, and 9 of them are s's... how can I not see 9 s's???
A large bloody mary on its way with canapes!
G'night, Pat - don't dream of this grid, yes, it is somewhat nightmarish
Peri's having spaghetti? *passes a jar of tomato juice to peri*
nite Pat
ty dc...i didn't hear you...am in an out here
I need 8 S's and 55 altogether
I still need 69 doing terrible today
is the yu 5 a familiar word?
i need 11 still
Having too much fun chogging, not gridding!
Me too, JB
Changing the subject, @ TKate - has anyone bugged you today about going pro? <grin>
39
not to me Harp
Goodbye Patxxx! I will see you tomorrow in the chog!
Well, I must go paint the front deck and get covered in dark grey paint. BBL
njoy, scrabbs
not today...would you like yto have a go?
later scrabbs
Night, Scrabs!!
yu5 to me is a chines-based babblet
could you clue it judy?
Yes, thank you. Hey, TraderKate, have you considered going pro yet?
Harp, Disney movie--change the first letter to y
A yu5/16 is a magnolia tree or a A deciduous Chinese tree harpjane. yu plus advice columnist Anne ***ders.
sounds alluring scrabs, have fun..remember..beer after painting...not during...and don't paint bunny girl into corner, we need her at flip
Or put first definition in reverse dictionary&it's #36.
thanks, NOW I can remember the Disney movie! i was drawing a blank
still missing 3 y's I have three yu's.
sorry jb...what did you say, i couldn't hear you <grin>
Goodbye Scrabbler! I will see you later in the chat log
ya x 3
Min's was a better clue but I couldn't think of anything else. LOL
the rest are ya Judy 4,4,5
thx KJE! and Hi!!
have fun Scrabs!
thx lynxxx
hi judy - how's life?
jb...wanna know a secret?
Y's done!
YAY!
KJE, today it's exhausting. Just finished jarring tomato juice. Still have clean up and two more loads of laundry!
How's work KJE?
dumb question. how do you carry a coffee cup while on crutches?
very carefully, Dorens
balance it on head
hire a cabana boy
in one hand with both crutches on the good side, using them like a cane
call for the porter
HOld one crutch with the pressure of your arm against your body with cup in the same hand
Sorry, TK, afk for a moment - yes, please tell me a secret!
aha, dc. voice of experience?
hmm i guess i'll get the hang of it. thanks
crawl on floor with legs splayed...holding coffee in front upraised
no, Judy, praise Elvis i've not need crutches yet.
i think i like the cabana boy idea
i have a secret admirer
at babble
wonder if the cabana boy does dishes?
cabana boy in loincloth
WOW TK!!!
LOL
dishes
I read "cabana boy" and "secret admirer" hmmm
I put a lid on the coffee and hopped to the chair
wait, is your admirer the boy in loincloth?????
A few names are coming to mind, TK....
hopping makes more sense than trying to use these goshdarned things
said admirer anonymously upgraded me to pro two days ago...no idea who, so can't thank or repay...dr god will not say
Hello hshliz! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
after a bit of practice I hopped up and down stairs
judy, don't go confusing cabana boy with house boy. Their roles ovelap a bit, but are not the same
BR always has the solution!
geez, dc. now even hiring a cabana boy is getting complicated!
kate, you can always set up a profile and thank your anonymous beneefactor
how nice TK!!!
if you have any ideas let me know...whjile it waqs very nice of said benefactor...would like to thank the and repay them...it was very sweet whoever it was
probably thanks is all that is necessary... and then someday in the future you might do the same for someone else... nice way to repay
setting up pfofile...more stuff for to do list...along with cleaning up facebook, which i hadn't been on for over a year...and e-mailo...yahoo re-vamped their site too...and added all that contact stuff...have much maintenance to do in cyber space...<sigh>
still need three v's -- have 5 va's and 3 vi's
could someone clue the second pa5?
pa + not mono but *t*r**
not listed yet harp. mine is pa + **ni*r prom was fun
alira
oops. not even a word!
i have that one, thanks anyway!
should be, not mono but *ter**
well, if anyone here knows who it is ...please convey my thsanks...i have said it several times here...but don't know if they saw...is there someone who could act as go-between for my angel and me? if you know who is responsible...?
ah, pa5 del Prado
pa5/18 is anagram of a visible exhalation,as fog,mist steam, smoke, or noxious gas, suspended in the air.
Why are you still greyed out, Kate?
c'mon tk. it would take less than five minutes to put that in your profile, and then whoever it is will see it
<whew>!! AFK again, having friends over takes precedence over chat, sorry for disappearance in middle of conversation. Caught up on log, yay, TK, how nice for you!
TraderKate, at first I thought that it was stidmama, but then she did not even know you went pro until I congratulated you the other week. No other gusses.
uh, TK, it wasn't me. :(
@ TK, just put your thanks in your profile, grab an icon from somewhere (google image search is great for looking for a theme of the day graphic) and go!
(but then again, if stid wanted to keep it a secret, she would certainly play dumb)
LOL, Dorens, you are certainly right!
Good point Dorens!
am also fairly computer illiterate...this will not be a dawdle for me...will require a good deal of effort, time, reading and probaqbly a large bottle of wine
Wine always helps!!
Hey, TK--I sent you a friend invite on FB
wine solves everything :)
well, sleuth around... if they want to remain in shadows, fine but you could act as intermediary fir thank you card and repayment...
There you go, TK - grab the wine bottle as your icon!
Krispy Kreme mini crullers always take me back to the days when Charles Chips and Krispy Kreme delivered weekly to the home.
aaaaaccccckkkkk!!!!
kate, just click on "my account" above and to the right of chat.. then enter what you need to say at bio, then click save update. anything else you want to do, you can, but you don't have to
we had the Charlie Chip man!!
Talk about comfort food, dcs, mmmmmm
in fact my uncle was the charlie chip man at one time
my mom still has more than a few Charles Chips, Charles Pretzels, and Charles Cookie tins from back then.
"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."
all we had was a milk man
LOL Soodle
Hello Soodlebum! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
LOL, haha!!! Soodle - that's great!
Dairymens still deliver in the Cleveland, OH area. My grandparents stopped daily dairy deliveries in in 1983 and weekly ones in 1994.
beautiful, soodle! welcome
wow. dc/ seems so "50's" to me
Thanks, Minver. Been lurking for awhile - 66 to go!!
Well, my friends, I'm going to dive into the grid, not gonna let this one defeat me. Good luck to all of us on this grid today!
go JB go
It took me almost an hour at the flip time just to get my first 75 words. This is a very tough puzzle today.
judy...might be a while before i getr to that...had resolved to keep fb to a very low manageable level, only people from work that i don't get to talk toi that often and a few others...there are people with 800 "friends" out there...do not intend to become one of those...but will put all babblers on..it's the only way to keep track...if i don't respond in next week or so ask again...make sure to mention babble/user name so i know you're not a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend....nbot taking any of thoise...
Goodbye JBsAnno! Good luck with grid & go defeat it!
yes it is, minver
now there's alsoi this yahoo contavt stuff (like fb?), don't know..but have toi set that up too...getting ulcers...
I did put my Babble name in the request TK
I'm the same way with facebook. Don't want to have 100+ "friends". It would take forever to read my wall.
still don't have 100 words. geez!!!
The next pandemic I suffer from this so often, I never knew it was a real disease! I went to a dinner party last night, where I, and other guests, enjoyed copious amounts of alcohol. I awoke this morning not feeling well, with what could be described as flu-like symptoms; headache, nausea, chills, sore eyes, etc. From the results of some initial testing, I have unfortunately tested positive for what experts are now calling Wine Flu. This debilitating condition is very serious - and it appears this is not an isolated case. Reports are flooding in from all around the neighbourhood of others diagnosed with Wine Flu. To anyone that starts to exhibit the aforementioned tell-tale signs, experts are recommending a cup of tea and a bit of a lie down. However, should your condition worsen, you should immediately hire a DVD and take some Nurofen (Nurofen seems to be the only drug available that has been proven to help combat this unusual type of flu). Others are reporting a McDonald's Happy Meal can also help in some cases. Wine Flu does not need to be life threatening and, if treated early, can be eradicated within a 24-48 hour period. If not, then further application of the original liquid in similar quantities to the original dose has been shown to do the trick. Cheers!

i was very slow today
it was the facial
are you jumping up and down ru? cus that would be better
LOL - it was not the facial... more likely the two bottles of wine
wow.. with stevie you had TWO bottles?
shared, but yes...
dump him.. he's an alcoholic..lol
LOL
clue for va 4/8
we met at a wine bar... one bottle of chard and the next a cs
va + not we but **
ya + not down
oh..
va 4/8 is va plus the *nited *states boobear and hi there!
when he was drinking chardonnay ..did he speak with clenched teeth?
over about 3.5 hours....
huh? you lost me
oh..
Oops! I clued it wrong. THe *nited *tates I meant to write.
inside joke
lost the right soide of chog...
explain... i hate being outside
ru's fault tk
right side of chog truncated
Oh Kate - you got yourself a Canadian Flag....
it will reset soon tk
people in Marin County.. drive beemers and drink chardonnay and talk with clenched teeth.. like "ohmygod.. there is dust on the beeemer.. speaking affectedly
it has cut off vital ending of clues
tk went pro????? woohoo!!
yeah TK
LOL - got it
yes...do not ask for more...it wasd a labour of love to get that far
Do the yummy-mummies drive 4 wheel drives, and have 3 wheeled buggies?
he asked how i would rate the chard on the kathryn scale... i told him 6/10... then he felt compelled to top that with the cs
now part of left side of vchog is also mia
what was the chardonnay?
who's chardonnay? the winery?
have only center of chog now...seems to be diminishing more wiyth each passing entry
I knew you were going to ask that, and I do not remember... I do not drink much chardonnay... it was from Napa, and he told me the area, but honestly ...whoosh (waves hand over head)
your eyes are slowly closing kate..
TK, see slider bar at bottom, it will reset when the longer messages fall off the chog
Me too, Kate. Either suffering periferal vision, or the chog is going mad
Saintsbury?
Trefethen?
no
Darioush?
hold a sec, let me see if the wine list is online
** waiting ***
message received...waiting loss of extended message
**** still waiting ****
*** really still waiting ****
TK, it should be okay now, my slider bar just distaperated
isn't he patient?
why are we waiting, oh why-hie-are we wa-hat-ing
I am useless
i was drinking cakebread chardonnay last nite, followed by jordan cs, but i'm not the one you're asking
even looking at the list, nothing looks right... I think I have begun to block out the whole evening ; )
did it again...need 10 according to babble...lickety says 9...will have to cross-reference at end to find the offending word. <sigh>
thanks for showing me up there dorens - LOLOL
clue for sa 7/32
what about the cab whose was that?
Oh Kje. What a thing to say. Stoppit right now.
was the wine list in braille for your date?
gone to lickety...if i'm not back in an hour send a search party
it's rare that my memory works that well, k
I never forget a wine I have had..
Repeat after me. 'I AM A GOOD BABBLER'. I AM A GOOD BABBLER. I AM A GOOD BABBLR'. Now, just send me your address, so I can send you my bill...
LOL ru
(noting that ruru is so not interested in what I drank)
I don't really like Cakebread wines
didn't want to comment
ah, but the jordan cab??
Jordan is okay.. I know the winemaker really well.
ru - this guy is really into wine and did a lot of name dropping.. has a 400 case cellar... whatever, I found it boorish
it is usually a softer and herb-y cabernet
i think it's yummy
KJE - I dont hear you saying your mantra.....
it is so boring to hear these cork dorks drone on about their cellar
I enjoy wine, and appreciate good wine and food... but I am not into wine as a status symbol
actually, not into status symbols period
not a white wine drinker; prefer reds
that is all that matters dorens.. if you like it..
I am a good babbler....I am a good babbler
I have had some nice Jordans over the years.
soodle... I am not sure why I have to... I had a bad pseudo blind date last night, that is why I am blocking it out - LOL
yes you are soodle; you ok?
i definitely prefer reds...
will NEVER do the blind date thing EVER again
Cakebread is innocuous and way overpriced
Rofl Kje!! How bad was the blind date?
oh, things like that are best blocked, k
i didn't love it, but i loved the jordan
Don't know from wine, but will eat CHOCOLATE! Dark, milk, stuff covered in, etc!
on a scale of 1-10, probably a 5-6... I just have low tolerance right now
dark chocolate, now we're talking.... my next trip into the kitchen will include some
JBsAnno - You got a friend in me...
have to groom the doggy .. see you all later
cork dork - LOLOL - I LOVE that!!! I am going to use it now
bye ru
hagd ru
Bye ru
20 to go . . need to finish before I run to my friend's house--cat siting
*sitting
see you later.
Hi all, can I have a clue for the no7 & no9 pls?
cat siting.. do you use binoculars?
So far I've managed 61 words, and only 4 grayed out tiles, + the 2 that were already there. BBL, have to go make meatloaf supper! MM, Babble does go better with chocolate, right, Soodle? *poof*
Maybe I am just desperate, Kje, but 5-6 seems like a pretty good bet to me...
no7 - without a group of ones peers
no9 - without bodily harm
hmmm... OK... knock him up to 7
with 10 being bad, btw
in other words.... not a serial killer (10)... not groping me constantly (9).... not a creep (8)... etc
i'm back!
btw, 1 would have been george clooney ; )
ty kje had trouble with the 9 but got them both
LOL Ru
wtg mary!
only 67 to go it's a tough one today lots of strange ones bbl
ok, I am off... happy babbling all!

Nitey-nite, Kallia!

good night kasllia, thanks again..and don't waste yur lovely champers spraying me..
this tub is divine jai....aaaahhhhhhh
and how have you been today jai?
I have slept alllllll day and feel great, despite a headache from sleeeping allll day!! LOL!
How are YOU?
is there such a thing as puzzle brutality?
Yes. In Babble, there is, especially with a grid like this one with so many vowels...
you needed it jai. you've had hardly any sleep this past week with your knee being dso sore...glad you got caught up a bit
Me, too! I did my Sunday homework Thursday, so it really feels good to be able to screw off today!
And bruises are healing nicely...no more worrying, OK?
we had one with lots of vowels bottom left (3?) days ago, it didn't seem nearly so bad...but this has been three in a row that were more difficult...or maybe i should just get some sleep like a sensible soul
Go to bed now with my blessings...You deserve it...Just pretend you are nodding off in the virtual hot tub, where it is impossible to drown!
if you're sure. you certainly seemed to perk up a bit as of yesterday...i was really worried
Oh...you are so sweet...Yes, I have had a bit of a spell of suiciiality (is there such a word????) Not really wanting to die, just the pain gets me down sometimes....
maybe i'll have a little lie down.. i want to watch boston legal, mad men defying gravity and dr. who tonight
Dr. Who??? I LOVE Dr. Who!!!!
I liked Tom Baker the best
Ex-ter-mi-nate!
everyone was worried...it didn't seem to get any better for days and days..and the drugs weren't helping you...but it's much better now you say, so i won't worry any more.
Yes, I just needed to get some good sleep...my psychiatrist changed my meds around and I am doing better
afraid i may be exterminated...it's on at 11:00..lots of time
Go to bed! I'll be fine! Sleep well, dear!
do yu get the new dr. who's down there? the cbc runs them up here...they run a lot of bbc stufff. :o))
No, I don't, but I'll bet if I hunted around on the computer, I might find it...I was not aware it started to run again!!!!
will have a fag and a glass of kool aid... i am still wine-less...but will enjoy it just as much today
Wine-less? Out of choice or money?
yesw, second season...if you liked the orig. you'll love these
out of laziness...didn't want to make the trudge to liquor store, and i am watching my pennies strictly
Go to bed!
give me a minute...i'll see if i can find then on-line . brb
K
<singing> All by myslef...all by myself....don't wanna be....al by myself ...anymore......
brb
Did you try to get an icon picture, Kate?
I think she went hunting to see if Dr. Who can be found on the computer....
i'm back jai...looking at chog
For what?
hi br.no , i haven't go that far yet...i remember something about getting a down oad to put pics in profile...think it was in babanon somewhere...i'll have to hunt it down...
The directions are in "profile", I think
even little things like a pic download are a fair bit of work for me...i'll have to import a pic from facebook i guess...somewhere i have a disc of pictures taken last easter in b.c.
You click "View image" and then copy the address and paste it into the uploader
will trend to that when i van actually think and see straight...the last 20 min of grid wrung me dery
Yes, it did...please, go to bed, and dream well!
address?...now i hacve to find things...not tonight, my dear...after i getr some sleep...maybe a nap and do it when i get up?
I will be here at the flip, don't worry!
Yes, not now...GO TO SLEEP!!!
no dr. who for you , i'm afraid. the cbc only had trailers and stuff like that...the bbc didn't vhave episodes von-line asa far as i could tell
I figured that....oh, well, I will have to check Amazon and see if there are seasons for sale and buy them when I have some money!
was hoping that it might have been on spacecast...i watch defying gravity, primeval etc on there
do you have vcr?
Well, I am going to sign off for now...got to get up and move around to prevent leg-lock...please sleep!
Yes, I have VCR
i have some taped from tv...ads but free...
Kool! But the postage would be ourageous...I would insist that I pay for that!
understand leg lock...keep it greased...thanks for everything, jai
postage isn't much...don't worry i have to feret them out first...
YW! Glad you finished grid...and I smell dinner, too...you sleep, and I will see you at the flip or so.....
Ok, I will not worry...
why don't we both get a little rest and not worry our pretty little heads witrh such frivolities now
Sounds good!
until the flip
Bye!
<gives Kate a BIG hug>
be well, jai and Kate
BABBLE RABBLKE

HI Jilli. TKate is having a nap
va + oxidation: ***t
I'm just here for a very short time -- 21 left and gotta get ready to go out for dinner.
Thanks, bugs. If you're here when she wakes up you could tell her. But I wonder if sheknows she has to go pro to post an icon.
Any clues for re5/14?
ok. . . but rust is not here
Many apologies BR. I didn't look at your clue well enough.
Kate has gone pro Jilli thanks to an anonymous benefactor. She is so grateful, she is not rushing into it because she doesn't know who to thank.
re + *** a little prayer for me
I am now stumped on the last 2 pa words.

I do hate re words!
I needed that one too jili

Thank you BR. Fireworks now. I got the first 3 letters but nevr looked up!
You are such a gem to this game.

Just read you icon news today. I am sure the reverse is exactly the same when a wife flirts too much.
br: how long have you been married?
I agree, Bugsaw
clue for sa 7/32 please
sa 7/32 is sa + vowel plus anagram of water from sky
giant lizard
well ill toss my 2 cents in..been married for almost 17 years and it does not bother me if or when my wife flirts as i trust her totaly and without fear.she knows this.she also knows if she breaks that trust once,it is done.lol few years ago i sent her a strip-o-gram for one of her b-days;)
some kind of muscled out oily fireman in a speedo;) hehe
well my former husband never flirted. he just found a younger model and left. so I do not think flirting or not is necessarily the baramoter of health of a marriage.
had to toss out the clothes i wore that day when i came home..didnt know a womans nails could do that..crossy was scared;0
it's true - i don't have to flirt for my husband to know i'm not attracted to him.
hursh, your nephew looks so grown up!
A's abolished! 6 left

And hello again everybody. Just got back from the State Fair and admiring my DH's 1st prize Grapes! :-D
crossy :)))
your grapes won first? congrats!
congrats to you and your DH
mmm, grapes
wonderful Nef!
Actually, they are HIS grapes. (I managed to kill mine off) But I'm the one who gets to can them
now do we make jelly out of em or do them down for a fine bottle of vino?
You are firing the grapes?
thank you. He's quite proud of them this year. They were quite bounteous
there are people in here, it sure was quiet for a while
Yesterday I put up 12 quarts of juice; I have about 14 gallons of grapes frozen for future canning of jelly and juice. We've tried wine a couple of times without success; so gave up on that
wait wait, aren't you going to just EAT any of them??
Normally I'd have tried to can more of the grapes initially , but there was too much going on; and I found they can f=be frozen and some people suggest that freezing them helps with the sugars
fireworks
Hurshy, we have eaten tons of them! Given them away, took them to work, etc.
ohh new flickr pics of mrp;0.gotta let that hair down sometime darlin.can hear that pulled back hair screaming from here;0
congrats, Boobear
YAY, BooBear! Congrats!!

Hello!
Welcome to Babble Iska! I see you are a brand new player; or at least newly pro!
wecome aboard ishka
Yes. I heard about this game, and thought I would try it.
evening all! so glad for Labo(u)r day tomorrow
Hello dan2bit!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
hiya minver
himin!
and ishka,whatever you hear about me is all lies..well except the bacon;0
i have to work tomorrow :0(
That's funny, crosshair....Bacon??? Do tell.
well..err,just i enjoy bacon from time to time
cross, did you see what I posted earlier about the chocolate with bacon? sciencegeek found it...
I have found eight words already!
and hello all, listing at halfway and NBT
i had some of that stid! it is delish
go ish go!
hi stid! how are you?
It seems to me that there are a lot of beginnings to words, but then they just fizzle out at the end.
hey Nef! I am making progress in getting the house put into shape... but I'm at the point where I am bringing boxes back IN so everything looks a lot worse. *sigh*
how are you?
did you really EAT it, cross? *crosseyes for emphasis*
hi everyone!
ibd!
crossy, they had huge fat strips of bacon at the State Fair; on a stick (of course!) they smelled wonderful from 100 yards away; but pretty bad up close (much too intense)
hey LBD! how was work today? I JUST got home with a new pencil case ... it's pink and it's just one LONG zipper. Pretty cool, should impress the middle school kids I'll be working with!
good day, stid and commodore
hello J
hello Jen and BR -- how's the hand, Jen?
hi Jen, stiddy, BR and nef!
(I'm tired, stid. We went to the State Fair today to admire DH's blue ribbon on his grapes)
Hi lbd! How are you????
YES. got all the A words~!
work was crazy! don't people know they should be outside enjoying the weekend and not inside bugging me?
oh, very happy congrats to DH on his blue ribbon! (I think you have a winner there, Nef *wink*)
Hiya, all!
State Fairs...they'd be fun without all the people! lol
too awful, this weather, to be outdoors, LBD
hi jai
hey jai
congrats to DH on his blue ribbon!
Just popped in for a minute to say, "Yo!"
EL 6 please? it's driving me bananas
okay, stid. then they should just stay home and quit bugging me! :)
When ever I think of State Fairs, I think of long, long walks through muddy parking lots....
el6 is a fan of earth usually formed at the base of mountains
thanks. DH is a winner, stid. But it woudl help if he wasn't so impulsive right now. He fell twice again today. I need to tie him down til he fully recuperates from his fall last week (all related to his M.S>)
e+ slang spelling for love+ end of woman's name sylv**
bubble wrap, Nef!
no wonder that word didn't work starting with an A!
oh no, Nef... hold on a sec... *rummages in box* bubble wrap, potato starch peanuts, good movie to watch* found these today
Good idea, lbd!
thanks LBD, for the EL
hard to keep a good man down, especially when he's not in top form!
LOL! You guys are funny!
i need to find some iron greaves for hubs, he keeps trying to whack off his fingers whilst working in the yard.
Nef, I know it's not the same, but I spent three hours by myself moving and emptying boxes this morning because Tom was still asleep and I didn't want to bother him. Sure as shootin' the hip started to hurt. and BR already scolded me about that!
my wrist is doing fine stidmama, big old scabs now
naughty stiddy!
that's a good idea, LBD -- LOL
Stid! You KNOW better than that!
good for the quick healing, Jen
rofl... BR already said that! *grin*
yes, i used to be a scab picker and i am trying not to pick!!
good for you Jen. Hope the scabs resolve quickly. DON'T pick at them. *stern mama look*
what did you do to your hip?
bye
bye jaianniah
keep the scabs soft so they wont scar, jen
keep the scabs soft so they wont scar, jen
bye jai
really
we don't know Nef, the orthopedist can't find anything so I think it's an inflammatory problem. Will now nag docs to try that angle.
later jai!
i thought if they got wet they would fall off
they will fall off when they are not needed any more Jen --
this is when you use the vitamin E to keep the skin and scabs from pulling on the healing skin.
well, i still have the suture tapes on it
you could wrap some vet tape over your boo boo, keep you from picking at the scabs, and let the healing continue
Wouldn't you know it? I *just* got supper and now have to head over to my son's place! Drat! BBL, I guess.
need the first Jo 5?
later, Nef. be safe on the roads.
i am giving my arm a break from the ace bandage to give it some air
bye, nef!
jo + 5th vowel + mr. gore
last Nef, be well. ((hugs))
thanks LBD, thought it was something like that...
vet wrap is more porous. it breathes where ace doesnt
Js jumbled!
this was a twisty grid. took me forever to figure words out!
i see, ibd, doc just put another ace bandage over it
yes, very twisty.
OK! Tom has the movie we want to watch cued up. Will be back later (maybe) to finish. Got down to 47 words.
*hugs every one and departs in a poof of popcorn*
bye stidmama
i think docs need to investigate the varied uses of vet wrap. I know a lot of the nurses use it here, especially during blood drawing.
enjoy, Stid
can I have the j6 clue?

pet lovers, i have a question. my uncle's dog just died, fairly unexpectedly. i am trying to imagine, when my cats die, if i will appreciate people offering sympathy, or if receiving a card would just make me feel more pain. what do you think most of us would want?
greetings, fern lady!
Scrabs, Cuddlebug is back at Dan's house!
Hello lbdawger! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!
I greatly appreciated the condolences for when my dogs died. It helped the hurt.
Who is Cuddlebug? Oh, one of Cheetah's puppies? Who returned a puppy?
hurshy, i think i would appreciate a note or card
Hi Min, i'm well. I'm mostly over at Dan's house watching the doggy show
Hanging in there, Ping. I'm taking life one day at a time. The good news is my DH got first prize on his grapes at the State Fair this year. We Had to go today to see the competition; ours were so much nicer than the others
Any expression of sympathy and concern would be appreciated. Pets are like our children.
Yes, one of the puppy's was surrenderd back.
Why, lbd?
I'm mostly at my computer watching my monkeys fail.
ok, i will send a card then. i know they are like children, they are to me! i guess i am atypical in thinking i might want to be alone with my grief.
thanks for the input.
Hurshy, Google the poen "The Rainbow Bridge". It is the nicest poem and it was very comforting to us and many of our friends who have lost their pets.
Well, I am giving up and going to bed. Boss Richard decided upon a "Saturday schedule" for tomorrow, thus we are open 9-2:30. Ugh!
Knowing that there's another person in the world who can appreciate how you might feel about something could be really welcome ..
How cool about the grapes, Nef!
Goodbye Scrabbler! I will see you tomorrow in the log
YUK, Scrabs.
night, scrabbler
Hi torgone! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

We actually grow the grapes on our chain link fence with about 4 6 foot trellises spaced out on it. This is 2 vines, and I have 14 gallons of frozen grapes, 12 quarts of grapejuice (so far) and lots left to can! These are green grapes, Edelweiss is the variety
Just got back; I think most people would appreciate an acknowledgement of the grieving that will definitely happen when loses a companion - which is what a pet is. Even my vet sends a card.
pa6/21 - golf score + Celtic John

phantom: puerile!
min thanks
yw
I'm seeing more phantoms than words tonight. I don't like this grid
me neither nef, argh
me too, nef
such as onion, OY
and ronin
what news from the land of babble?
the grid is full of phantoms, that's what! and hi kate!
Hello TraderKate!How are you? Welcome back to grid
hi book, the grid is indeed haunted this evening
Trader Kate has a Flag! WTG, girl!
only got 57 so far; usually i can get halfway much faster than this
Hi TK
it's a nasty twisty, grid, Book
oh no, another canadian! now we have to be really polite LOL
Me too! It took me an hour just to get 1st 75 words.
I now have 67, Gwen; but it's like pulling teeth because I just can't see any words today
are we being haunted by the spirits past? all the grids that felt slighted because we decided to sleep rather than finish searching out their elusive letters? would they wreck their revenge on us in such a cruel manner? only the shadow knows
hi dawg!
i'm glad i'm not the only one to have had fits with this beast.
***spooky music***
***theremin***
LOL LOL LOL ... (pardon me for laughing too loudly, gwen...please don't let me interrupt you)
i'd love to stay and chat, and clue, and...but my eyeballs are about ready to fall out of my head. not a pretty sight.
so, night night everyone, good luck on the beast, uhm the grid. see you all tomorrow!
Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
any help for the sa 7/32 and 7/40???
sorry to hear that dawg. sure you have been a trooper in the name of babbledom
gn dawg
good night, lbd. Sweet dreams (don't think about this grid again)
sa 7/32 is sa + vowel plus anagram of water from sky
sa7/32 - lizard-like and sa7/40 - play around with coffee name
coffee name? gfot the 32 thanks
3 more words to half way; I don't want to list til I'm there but Blech!
go for it...it helps
ooh, i greyed out a square!!!!!
hey y'all, i need clues for va5/16 and va5/18, please
It's an older brand, but still out there
va + consonant + two diff vowels
va5/16 is plural of the va4/7 & other is va plus river.
all the va words start with the same 3 letters
oops no I lied
va 5/18 is va plus Toys * ** (toy store) JenMo16&hello
and I am back. i found out that I may be able to get my superanuation (similar to 401k) based on permanent disability.
and the other 5/16?
I'm an older brand and I never heard of it
Know what you are talking about, but can't find word
Maybe it's an east coast thing
that's funny min, i work for Babies * **
v + a diva solo
ou6?
Oh good!Then the clue was perfect for you JenMO16.
what about the second va5/16?
va + bond: from ***sia with love
ou6/21 is ou+hook letter plus what I breathe dan2bit
BR, I'm older and I've never heard of it either. Maybe that brand never hit this part of the country?
sp 6/30????
va 5/16" va plus anagram of what I breathe JenMO16
seems likely, Nef
sp 6/20 rhymes w/Mr. Crockett's first name science.
sp + greed :**ar*c*
min do you not breathe what the rest of us breathe? ;-)
sp6/30 - skinny horse, minus the "n"
just realized that this puzzle is only 1889 points. not really acceptable compensation for all the effort so many have put forth. i think that dr god should consider doubling all babbler's scores for this grid due to the preponderance of 1 point tiles and small words that serve to keep the word scores down. yea or nay?
diva solo?
as to the coffee - it's for sale at peapod...
possessive pronoun: ou* + diva solo: ***a
I had it BabbRabb, I was just teasing min a little. thanks though
ty br, good clue thar
Jen, google diva solo
4 left, all stupid SA words
Mystic Monk does not fit
Tony Shaloub?
saw that
ooooh, finished another square! (OY)
oops - Shalhoub
nothing babble
crossy still hates this grid;(
va + one who fancies the position you do: **v*l
You should sa*** it, though, may not be another like it for some time
ahh both the canuck and the american spelling on that;)
Jen, the word is at the end of the first line following: What is a 4 letter word for diva's solo? http://tinyurl.com/lmcjxt
ty cross, missed the canadian speeellling thar
dont forget your u,s my american friends;))
Yup, cross, and then make it an adjective
ty java 8-)
finally got it
aha! felled by the silent british U again
need a dumbed down clue for the sa7/40 - coffee referfences won't help :-)
we use it as well now and then;))
Canadians must get a commission for using the u
that's true, crossy. I shall blame canada :-)
clue pls for sa 7/40?
coloure,theatre,arbour, and all that fun stuff;0 you always blame canada
we get 3 shilklings on each use
sa + different way of spelling a word from normal: ****a*t
humour tumour rumour
indeed
sa+m****e, armed force man
and mysterious long Os, like process
sa+va5/16-last vowel+single hump consonant
hooray firewords - tx babbrabb & jaia and all cluers

hi, rose, faux, mkg, kate
really? nmany were commiserating that the grid was a cruel mistress today
hi dc
hello everyone, I read your recipe dc, sounds decadent
it's difficult but not impossible today
the link, I mean, crossy posted it at 11:00
ooohhh dc you have the best treates
will have to note thanks, rbud...and hi
hi d.c....
you live in Canad and know what a Moon Pie is? 0_o

no dc, had never heard of a moon pie
fjound that it was more difficult because math not much help today
mmmm, Moon Pie! :p
hi flosey
ov7 cancer, and change last letter for other 7
ov 7
hi Kate
hi seain!
ty got them.
do you have the ov5/20?
hello, flosey. A moon pie is a marshmallow filling between two cinnamon cakes covered in chocolate, ond faux, they're vegan
this is a tough grid and i am out of here. night all.
kate, where eggs for humans are produced
er, human eggs rather
g'night, mkg
sorry, was trying to clue..but you got it...thankds
gn mkg
ty dc, explained that way, doesn't sound quite so decadent as pie in the recipe
hehe, sounds good seain!
think more than a few threw in the towel in disgust on this one
15 left...
I like cinnamon better than chocolate actually. :o)
no, Schadenfreude Pie very, very different from a Moon Pie :)
it's a very thin chocolate, the cinnamon comes through
still here crossy?
know moon pie...spent 3 yrs in u.s. have family there still...1/2 u.s.
how many you gonna catch with that one dc...you are an imp
choc and cinnamon compliment each other very well actually
i've never seen a moon pie sold North of Baltimore.
faux, you're valid in the grid. i had no idea. :)
not sure that i have either..haven't really noticed but have had them several times
isn't there a banana version of the moon pie, too? *trying to recall*
there was, don't know if they still make it. They have one with peanut butter now, though.
yeah! I had no idea my name was a word.
thinking that i may have dc...will ask scrabs if she sees them in western n.y.
will check out the new grid but prob. heading off to bed very soon, very tired tonight
peanutbutter anything is good. <:o))
la5 - "A number of hermitages or cells in the same neighborhood occupied by anchorites who were under the same superior"
aha, now chocolate and peanut butter go well together, for me anyway
LOL_I see how you are.. I go get a drink of water and everyone comes back...
have a Moon Pie, DR!
today was a doozey flosey...took a lot out of all of us...any plkans for tomorrow?
i'll have to go around telling people that now. :p

*~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~* CONGRATS FAUX !!!!!!!!!!!!
hi flosey! :o)
well done Kate
Can stay to help out with clues if needed until the flip
*~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~* CONGRATS MINVERYORK!!!
Kate, you'll keep confusing people with the fireworks thing when you're congratulating people.
Congrats to all who finished. I've been hunkered downs and didn't see chat for the pasthour (or less)
Haha, thanks TraderKate!
hi, nef, mostly done then?
YW
yes Kate, confused me! did you finish earlier?
nope Sean, 35 l;eft
gotta make a fuss after a grid like this
am finished...setting off fireworks for min and faux
cartwheels, pompom toss or like is better
Thank you for your very spirited fuss! It was tough!
indeed, everyone finishing this one deserves extra credits - it was a toughie
Congratulations TraderKate for early fireworks! YAY
will no longer congratulate babblers with fireworks. no intention to obfuscate.
good one dc - think I'd break my back if I tried a cartwheel
speaking of cartwheels, i've not seen carlee around in ages
tee hee
Any kind of congrats is so much appreciated by moi!
I saw her a few days ago dc
oh yes same here!
oh, yes appreciated, but that particular one confuses people due to usual usage of that term here
oh, good, flosey. i hope she's well.
it always confuses me when i find all the 4 letter words before i find the longer ones. Historically, the opposite is true.
I think she does keep pretty busy dc - it was probably morning when I saw her
congrats, Min and Faux, and fireworks for ME, too! (trying to be clear) ;)
congrats, rose :)
congrats rbud<in smallest possible font>
firewords at last!
Congratulations rbud on your fireworks!Good for you
Congratulations dcseain on fireworks! Good for you!
this one was tough today.

I am off to change my icon. I will be back for the flip.

hey min
i had that barbie..bathing suit and all
stepped away for a few minutes, congratulations DC
thanks, yall
i was a way for a moment, as i got back from D&D about 20 min ago, and was checking my email
sera
sorry.
all good, Nef. Have a Moon Pie!
what is a Moon Pie?
mashmallow between two cinnamon cakes covered in a thin layer of chocolate.
hi people
sounds good; I don't think I've ever seen them
evening, saintfranny
hi stfranny!
i've never had a moon pie either. heard of them, but didn't think it sounded very good
good point, living where you do, you may never have encountered one. Yes, one must like marshmallow for them to be worth eatin.
what's D & D?
Hello saintfranny! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
HI minver
however, i Have heard of corn dogs, and am gonna go nuke a couple before the flip (yeah, it's a junk food weekend ;)). hi minver - good thanks, better in a minute.
Is it barbie's birthday?
Icon picture was the very 1st Barbie in 1959. Barbie looks different today though. But now I changed my icon. Now I have Raggedy Ann as my icon for today.
Dungeons & Dragons - it's a roleplaying game set in a medieval setting
fantasy medieval that is :)
oh.. thanks dc. not up on that
145 to go. Was this one easy? Do I have a shot???? :-)
Psst .. minver?
Barbie was first sold by Matel on September 6, 1959.
has anyone told Barbie that Ken was neutered?
