1:19 am

I saw that Jill. :o)

1:20 am

Yeah...the wi7 doesn't seem to exist...I looked in the dictionary and everything, and I cannot find it...it is between the spouse and what you do when you get pinched hard...

1:20 am

I won't use it too much, but might upload more as I go.

1:20 am

Streamed some into my bio.

1:20 am

More of ending???

1:21 am

I am so terrible at giving these clues, so i generally jsut lurk...I'm thinking..

1:22 am

1:22 am

1:27 am

1:27 am

Kate and all...I'm sorry..I was trying to see if I could get the puzzle done in 90 minutes...kinda racing myself....

1:28 am

Got stuck on that wi7 and was getting a little crazy....

1:32 am

1:32 am

1:33 am

1:34 am

:-(

1:34 am

Sorry no, Jill, I didn't?

1:35 am

1:35 am

I last "saw" him 5½ hours ago -- then I went out for dinner with friends.

1:35 am

firewords

1:36 am

He doesn't seem to get much sleep

1:36 am

YAY dart!!!

1:36 am

1:36 am

ty..hi kate

1:36 am

OMG, how do you do it, dart??

1:37 am

1:37 am

I see dart is very smart.

1:37 am

I finally got NBT a while ago -- then took a break to check email.

1:37 am

Dart is superhuman

1:37 am

woohoo, dart!!!

1:37 am

That too.

1:37 am

dart played way too many find the word games online a few years back lol

1:38 am

I do that every chance I get, dart. Ever place word racer at Yahoo?

1:38 am

Play, not place. I am not awake yet, LOL.

1:39 am

no i didnt...but played tangleword at playsite with volleymomdee and just1mar

1:40 am

once in a while will play scramble at facebook...but not quite the same...3 mins is too long...TW was 2 min rounds with a minute break between games

1:44 am

games.cobradragon.com has a very similar TW game

1:45 am

Oh, are you a Lexulous member, dart?

1:45 am

i have seen quite a few of the players there

1:45 am

I just joined there, after a friend of ours and one of my brothers did...it's seems good, you can play Scrabble by email through it.

1:45 am

old TW players that is

1:46 am

saw cobra....i mouse on those games...they were still working on that

1:46 am

not lexulous yet

1:46 am

I'm not familiar with that?

1:47 am

i'm not the fastest typist..have to look at the keys and only use my pointers lol

1:47 am

i have a facebook account, but i haven't figured out how to play games on it....my daughter is the one who set up the account for me

1:47 am

once you play a game you can put it on a quick launch bar to find it easier next time

evening all :) is a biggie, and I bet Dart is finished!

1:48 am

hi mrp :) yes maam

on ya dart!!

1:49 am

I am on Facebook too. I have two accounts there. One is in my maiden name and I use it only for connecting with my uni alumni. The other one I made but have done nothing with and probably never will, LOL. No time for it all.

1:49 am

guessed 315 b4 the flop...almost nailed it

1:49 am

i still have 50 left....

1:50 am

mrp..any leftovers from that delicious dinner you whipped up?

1:52 am

yay, finally halfway, nbt but still no 8's! S'okay, I'll find them eventually. Off to bed!

1:53 am

1:53 am

Shivs, playing Lexulous via Facebook is the reason I joined it. It's a better version than the email one.

1:53 am

gn rbud

1:54 am

I don't use Facebook for anything other than keeping in touch with my uni alumni, Jill. Even that I don't do often. Can't stand that site, it's too busy and crazy!!

1:54 am

night rbud!

1:55 am

Have to get kids off to school...back later, I hope.

1:55 am

I know that, shivs, but you could just use the Lex feature on your other account.

2:27 am

and peri

2:28 am

24h, daylight, or other?

2:28 am

oops

the toxins are not leaving my body ... it is driving me mental

oops, PB better be stocked with pink bubbly

2:28 am

and dark chocolate

the fast is for 10 days this time

2:29 am

ei6 that or ot5 things

2:29 am

that seems rather extreme

2:29 am

it does seem extreme, mrp

2:29 am

Is your doctor aware of this?

2:30 am

how can you tell that the toxins are not leaving your body?

not really dcs. after all the sh!t that has been through my body, it is a very good way to reset the toxin levels

absolutely! I see a doctor every day for urine test and physical and have bloods every 3 days.

would be insane to do a waterfast without a doc

2:30 am

do they agree with this fast?

I am sluggish peri, energy is all over the place and I ache every second day

yes jilli. I have a very good doctor

2:32 am

hm. fire dept.

almost feels like chronic fatigue at times, so after a fast, I am soooooo much better and health returns in leaps and bounds

2:32 am

odd for sirens at this hour.

2:35 am

allo all! had a nice Sunday...

2:35 am

glad to hear, pav

Hi Pav! had a great sunday... Monday is nice too

2:36 am

hi pav

here comes that lightening

2:36 am

did it come with thunder, too?

oh yeah!

2:36 am

so what an odd hour hour for me to be starting...

the dog is now under the feet

2:37 am

Is Lickety home yet?

babble is like a casino... there are no clocks on the wall and you don't know if it is day or night

he just left work, so he will be riding in the thick of the storm I am afraid jilli

2:37 am

well, 26 more words found, 111 left. gonna pop the towels in the dryer and try to sleep again. Well said, mrp :)

thanks dcs! see you soon hun

2:38 am

2:42 am

gn peri.

2:42 am

lickety predicted his time of arrival to come with the storm here... the winds are about 100km/hr

2:43 am

hi/bue Peri!

oh my mrp; stay safe! and glad lickety is home

2:43 am

oh, nasty, mrp!

2:44 am

peri the younger...

hi dee :) all is safe... locking the chickens up now

2:44 am

...has gone to her nest

oh, did I tell you all that one of the chickens got attacked by a dog yesterday??

yipes

a friends dog chased 2 chickens, got a massive faceful of feathers and hurt the chicken... I thought she might die of shock! Had to wrap her in a blankie and put her in my bed for the day (in the dark) and she lived up to her namesake... 'cuddles'

2:46 am

glad she survived, mrp!

wow nice recovery

she is limping really badly, falling over at times and very sore!! I hope she does survive, cause birds die of shock a couple of days after an attack, sometimes

2:47 am

just missing the upper E for NBT

2:48 am

en7/44, pav -- had all ov us stumped

2:48 am

typo time -- very tired now

will go cuddle my chicken... bbl :)

2:49 am

2:49 am

bye mrp, good luck to Cuddles

bye mrp

jili do we have a list today?

2:51 am

2:51 am

yes, dee :)

oh happy day!!!

2:52 am

All th f's finally done

2:52 am

I would refresh karhua

2:52 am

all z's

2:53 am

25 for 25 NBT's

2:53 am

karhua, because you have found one word from the N in column two (and there are 5 altogether from there starting with N), and none out of 3 from the top of column four

nbt

2:54 am

wtg dee -- that was fast!

2:54 am

o, thank you very much jilibus! 184 left, i doubt i'll finish, but i'm havng some fun

2:55 am

that's the idea, kar

2:56 am

that's a very good start karhua

2:57 am

is this your fiest time kar?

2:57 am

i think i'm on three, put some words in and then go about my life.....lol

2:58 am

2:58 am

usa

2:58 am

2:59 am

i play scramble, and boggle, and scrabble so i need to improve all of them however!

3:02 am

Hello jillibus, everyone.

3:03 am

hi haz!

3:03 am

ty, jil...have a secret admirer who treated me! what a lovely surprise...if you find out who it is, will you act as go-between if they wish to remain anonymous? would like to thank properly and repay

3:03 am

is enoch a word?

3:03 am

It's bound to have been jaianniah, isn't it, TraderKate?

3:03 am

nope, kar -- proper noun

3:04 am

How nice, TK!

3:04 am

yah, that's it thank you :)

3:04 am

not for purposes of this grid , i guess. isn't it a name?

3:05 am

there are a bunch of good hints etc in angel's song link at bottom of page. oh - new grid comes 1 a.m. eastrern time

3:05 am

But kar, you'd be surprised at the ones that look like names but do work -- we had "laura" the other day, and "alan" appears quite often.

3:06 am

there is also a clue list, which is very helpful...lickety's list. also at bottom of page

3:06 am

right click on Lickety's list and open in new window

3:07 am

o yes, i've had 'peter' 'joe' monas, and more!

if wa 7 is a word, shouldn't fartier be a word? LOL

3:08 am

LOL, dee!

3:08 am

oh- and do your best not to use/enter grid words in the chat log....though i'm one to talk...;-

3:08 am

it doens't even like the one who fa4s

3:08 am

;-)

3:08 am

;-)

3:08 am

ah--yes, that wild guess i was fairly too proud of

3:09 am

isn't it a phantom today?

6:46 am

6:46 am

6:47 am

wi -consonant add ti4-4

6:48 am

ty yvo - odd word

6:48 am

you welcome

6:48 am

hello to you btw. ;-)

6:49 am

ty Yvo, doubt i would have managed that

6:49 am

hello toyou yoo

6:50 am

i never clue ,theres always a first time

6:50 am

im a great lurker

6:50 am

not a bad thing sometimes. :-)

6:54 am

cluing has changed since I started

6:56 am

change is inevitable BR. ;-0

how so, BR?

6:58 am

hiya all

6:58 am

Hi movie!

6:59 am

clue for the 9 plz

7:00 am

don't have that yet movie, sorry

7:05 am

hi all. Clue for we 7 pls

7:05 am

more tired

7:05 am

hi boo, hurshy

7:05 am

cluing has changed since brabble started in that he now gives half the clues :)

7:05 am

the climate, boo

7:05 am

hey boo

7:05 am

heya hurshy

7:06 am

hey

hey hursh, hey movie

7:07 am

hey fuquay

I wondered how BR sees it. He does seem to have taken that role, but how has that affected other cluers? He also has a very distinctive style of cluing.

7:09 am

it used to be that clues were only asked for as the time was running out

7:09 am

i wondered how he sees it too, since you asked, but since he was remaining mum, i thought i would make a little humor

That's interesting, jacq. I've only been playing for a year or so, so don't have the long view on it

7:10 am

ah, jac, i think that goes further back than my time, and brabble hasn't been around as long as i have, i don't think

7:10 am

new players, new set up i guess jac. I remember cluing, but not so much as now

7:10 am

i only know that fuq because i saw it mentioned in chat

7:12 am

yes. I started in 06 or 7, IIRC - clues were asked for but only as folks were winding down. I am guilty of asking early myself. ;-)

but, what's "early" depends on where you are and when you start. Not everyone will be around at midnight, so it makes sense that people would be asking as they are finishing, whenever that is

7:13 am

i ask because i have a tendency to focus on a word i can't find it makes me blind to other words

7:13 am

me too jac - get too caught up sometimes

7:13 am

true enough FQ

7:13 am

i have seen me take an hour to find a word

7:13 am

like I am focused on the m's right now, lol

7:16 am

clue for wi 7

wi7= 3/4 of a female spouse + ti4/4

7:17 am

of course when i started, it was also much easier to go back and look through the log for clues, you didn't have to open up a new window to see the whole chog, it scrolled all the way back.

7:17 am

I remember that hurshy

7:17 am

ty

7:17 am

you can look back through the chog???????

7:18 am

yes, that little button up there on the right above the chog scrollbar

7:18 am

i never knew that

7:19 am

it tends to really clog up your system though - esp towards the end of the day

7:19 am

see! learn something new every day

7:19 am

watch out for that ti ending on words today, it is everywhere. :-)

7:20 am

Hello everyone. Too cute a dog Boo, is he/she yours?

7:20 am

hi lynxx

7:23 am

Hello! I've been here a long time, clues are asked for more often these days (a) because people know what to ask for thanks to Lickety's list and (b) because they can.

7:23 am

heya haz

7:23 am

heya lynxxx

7:23 am

hey ya haz!

7:23 am

ty lynxx. it's my sisters

7:24 am

hi Haz (a) I hadn't thought about it that way

7:24 am

Hello jacq - I'm not really here, I'm vacuuming, but noticed the clue topic thing.

7:24 am

hi Haz

7:24 am

Happy Labor Day to all

7:24 am

same to you boo. :-)

7:24 am

I'm a great one for (a) and (b). I realised I like (1) and !2) when I overheard one of my daughters telling off her sister in my (1) and (2) style.

7:25 am

order and method; poirot would approve.

7:25 am

lol haz i did that when i got a nasty email from the newly ex ex he had a list of rubbish and i told him so

7:25 am

Reasons not to do something - (1) because I say so (2) you'll be sorry if you do.

7:25 am

lol haz

7:26 am

lol haz

hello all

7:26 am

Hi Temple

7:27 am

hi TOwl

7:27 am

hello TO

7:27 am

Anyway, must fly as (a) I have things to do and (b) husband will realise that I'm not making his lunch and start making comments about how long it's been since breakfast. Hello TO!

7:27 am

lol

7:27 am

lol...bye Haz

7:27 am

a- sorry to see you go, and b - no way the queen has to do that

7:27 am

;-)

later haz

7:28 am

Bye! Back later to get this finished, have a good day.

7:28 am

it depends if husband is king or prince consort

7:28 am

He's no 1 in my book.

7:28 am

7:32 am

You made that Jacq?

i mean - don't stress about it, answer if you will

ooh, thanks hursh

7:35 am

almost lynxx my friend is off to elgin today to see her mum she said she'll let me know, but i heard one poor family in fochabers lost everything when the whole embankment washed away

7:35 am

thanks TOwl :)

7:35 am

ty hurshy, i had the 8's but not the 9

7:36 am

good to know it's receding jac- sorry for the losses

7:36 am

well, i have no 8's, but then, i'm only at the middle

7:36 am

I hope there are not too many like that Jacq

7:36 am

i know it's horrifying for these people to see their things lost, but better that than a loved one, thankfully nobody was hurt

7:37 am

sorry to hear that, jacq. Glad it isn't overall that bad, but it must be so tough to lose everything.

7:37 am

there is a co 8. :-)

7:38 am

when we went up we could see that some roads were still underwater all the induustrial area had been flooded again and the showroom carpets were outside waiting to be collected the fields were still underwater too there will be a straw shortage this year again now

7:38 am

well i'm on the H so i'll keep that in mind when i get to the C next!

7:38 am

and I got me a ph7.36 & 8

7:38 am

wow - sounds horrible jac

and did you fare ok in all this jacq?

7:39 am

my daughter is ill today, not badly, but with all the swine flu warnings I let her stay home for a couple of days anyway.

7:39 am

yep lynxx - the 8's were straight forward for me today. very odd. ;-)

7:39 am

ph, eh?

7:39 am

yepper

7:39 am

i'm uphil TO and pretty far from any bodies of water, but.... they are building some badly needed new houses just up the street from me and the area they are building them flooded, and it floods every winter

7:40 am

stupid place to build houses

7:40 am

hope she is ok sprite, and rest is best

7:40 am

i have ph7/40, but not 36... hmmm

7:40 am

..especially as (I think you said) they couldn't get flood insurance

7:41 am

she'll be fine, I am sure. THanks :) A bit of tlc will do her lots of good.

7:41 am

ph 7/36, then plural

7:41 am

aha, got the buggers

7:41 am

rank something for the end hurshy

sounds likea bad place to build

7:45 am

it is, it's right at the bottom of a slope, they built a huge house on the other side of that slope and it started sinking, a £1million house sinking even before it was finished

7:45 am

it's ideal for the rich people... build houses you know will flood, then you get your other company that cleans up flood damage to do the work when they do...

on with the day. happy babbling, people!

8:06 am

I cannot seem to find that wi7 that rhymes with an ni7. Are there several ni7s?

8:06 am

8:06 am

there are two

8:07 am

ok thanks, I must be having the wrong one then. Will look on :)

8:07 am

oh of course! More of, not most of. Lol I am being blind. Thanks, both of you.

8:08 am

yw

8:09 am

anyone have any sch or shr?

8:10 am

yes shr

8:10 am

yes same as sprite

8:10 am

sorry, ignore me please. It didn't take.

8:11 am

lolol - we must have both typed it in at same time. too funny - i was sure it would go

8:11 am

wolvie, you still say there is one?

8:12 am

no, you don't, ok

8:12 am

lol indeed!

8:12 am

hurshy, I typed as I posted, so to speak. bad habit

8:12 am

same here

8:13 am

that is a funny thing, when someone asks for a clue, I immediately look - most of the time it works

8:13 am

exactly :D But now it didn't. Luckily, hurshy knows how to handle confusion and frustration.

8:13 am

most of the time people are asking from the list so the thing has to be real!

8:14 am

lol - i hear you hurshy - I may list soon - it would probably help

8:14 am

good point sprite. ;-)

8:15 am

have to go back to my ill girl soon, she wanted to shower and now I want her to take a nap, or at least doze a bit.

8:16 am

10:21 am

Nor I Peri...but I am so glad to be home for the whole day!

10:22 am

so peri, seems like you should talk to owl and see what works out for the two of you ... and as far as bbq's, as long as we spend this much time here, the friends we spend most time with are us, so we should have virtual bbq's going on all over the country

10:23 am

ph8 - plural for ph7, ph plus what a good speechmaker does.

10:23 am

10:24 am

hmmm, virtual BBQ"s, not quite the same but will have to do

10:25 am

ahhh ty - need one more 8 now

10:26 am

i am going to a lobster feast at ken's country club.. traditional end of the summer bash... with some of his kids and four of the grands.. should be fun, will distract me from the crutches

10:26 am

You've got the hare's racing partner to8?

10:26 am

yum Dorens

10:27 am

sounds delish, Dorens

10:27 am

ahh was missing that one Haz - thank you!!!

10:27 am

You're welcome, mama.

10:27 am

sounds awesome Dorens - have a great time (but be careful!)

10:27 am

dorens - one good thing about the crutches... your arms will be toned and HOT! by the time you are walking again

10:28 am

just trying to figure out how to steal some shrimp or lobster for tomorrow's lunch - sling a shoulder bag over the crutch? (it is a buffet type thing)

10:28 am

haha kj, that is a good point. i am sore under the arms though even though I'm trying not to lean on them

10:29 am

absolutely DO NOT let them lean into the axilla (arm pit)... can cause nerve damage... don't do it

10:29 am

124 left, bbs

10:30 am

no i am not doing that... but i must be doing something wrong cause i am sore and i've hardly used them compared to how it will be when i'm at work tomorrow. i walk up and down the halls a lot

10:30 am

clue for th7/36?

10:30 am

no worries... you will learn to be efficient... and you will also learn to ask for help

10:31 am

whew! thats the way to get my min 1000 points in a hurry and only 47 words in lol

10:31 am

th7/36 - long version of a new idea that is proposed.

10:32 am

ty k, i'm sure you're right

10:32 am

poor dorens - crutches are NO fun.....

10:32 am

great clues all cluers!

10:32 am

Or shortened version of Mr Roosevelt (four letters) and then ' you must ***ember this'

10:33 am

thanks haz...knew what you meant, had trouble getting it right :)

10:33 am

i'm sure i'll adaapt soon mb - i needed them once about 25 years ago after a skiiing accident tore my medial whatever in my knee. that was worse actually. had three kids, one only 2 years old, and bedrooms were upstairs. now it's just me, and i'm on one floor. shouldn't complain

10:33 am

awesome clue Haz

10:33 am

it's humbling, dorens... i suspect you are somewhat like me... independent, use to doing things on your own, hesitant to bother others for help... but it won't be so bad

10:34 am

Glad you got it, phaeton - and mama.

10:34 am

wow I still need 24 7's

10:34 am

I am using a combo of crutches, walker and wheelchair after foot surgery. It's very difficult.

10:34 am

poor Gail, sounds much worse

10:35 am

hi back again - just in time for the humbling comment - can I share a story that stopped my complaining about anything -

10:35 am

all three at once would be very difficult gail

10:35 am

go right ahead j

10:35 am

My right shoulder is really hurting from the strain.

10:36 am

worked in a school some years ago with a woman who was a human dynamo - did everything, top teacher, etc. etc. I knew her for 2 years before I found out she had had a leg amputated and was wearing a prosthesis!

10:36 am

she was an inspiration to anyone who might wonder how to overcome life's inconveniences

10:37 am

up, there are some really amazing people out there who are truly inspirational. i am so not one of them

10:37 am

yup, that was supposed to be yup

10:37 am

I play tennis with a guy who has a prothesis and he is a top brain surgeon out here

10:37 am

yes you are, dorens

10:37 am

Hello ruru.

10:37 am

but it's good to have people around like that to remind us of what is possible

10:38 am

That is impressive. I elected to have this surgery, so I am tyring to stay very upbeat. I know it will heal and I will be fine, so I stay as positive as I can. You find you can't prepare enough mentally, but I do have help. I am just too darn independent normally.

10:38 am

well thanks mb, but i disagree. i'm ok, not really terrific, but not terrible either

10:38 am

I missed how you ended up in crutches dorens.. hiya haz

10:38 am

gm ru

10:38 am

to7?

10:38 am

stupid sprained ankle ruru that's all

10:38 am

morning kje

10:38 am

to7 - combine a foot part with what you might use to cover it.

10:38 am

hiya ruru

10:39 am

from drinking too much cakebread and falling?

10:39 am

to7. what all little ballerinas aspire to wear

10:39 am

morning jenmo

10:39 am

ty dorens

10:39 am

haha... no, from hiking in the woods near my house, slipping on a loose rock or something.

10:39 am

dorens - don't put up with that from him... remember he is the one who decides at 50+ years to jump a tennis net and fell and broke his ribs

10:40 am

oh sorry to hear that..

10:40 am

i got to go to work today :0(

10:41 am

ooh, i didn't know that. i broke ribs this past year, x-country skiing on icy non-tracks we had no business being on. course i'm the onlyone of the 6 who were there who fell, but i went smack down on my chest hard. guess this has been a clumsy year for me

10:41 am

You've thought of wearing full body armour at all times?

10:41 am

damn, dorens! you need to be more careful!

10:41 am

LOL haz!

10:41 am

kje is embellishing the story a bit...

10:42 am

moi???? i never do that

10:42 am

clank clank clank.. here comes dorens

10:42 am

but not an unlucky year, cause along with these two minor injuries, there were two separate occasions when drivers went out of control and came headon into my traffic lane, and both times managed to swerve and avoid personal injury (poor cars though)

10:42 am

are you in a saturn cycle or something dorens?

10:43 am

I remember meeting my daughter's flatmate and being struck by her wonderful posture, standing up very straight. I then remembered that she was in a back brace after an accident.

10:43 am

goodness haz, you remembered that before you commented on her wonderful posture? (need to look into that ruru)

10:44 am

so if you have bad posture, you could wear a back brace to fix it?

10:44 am

I can't remember the sequence of events, but I remember being invited to knock on the brace to feel how rigid it was.

10:44 am

actually ruru, my first answer to that was, no i drive an audi, and i didn't know that saturn made a cycle, i was in car

10:45 am

I don't know, hurshy, but it reminded me of those Victorian ladies all corseted and trim.

10:45 am

well, I better get to work on this LABOR day that it is.... good to see you all - will probably be back later when I need a break!

10:45 am

some do hursh, particularly if they have scoliosis

10:45 am

later then, mamabear. (your turn, btw)

10:45 am

It was really good to see you again, mamabear. Enjoy your work.

10:45 am

af 6/30 please

10:45 am

how long do you suppose you'd have to wear it before you got into the habit of good posture?

10:45 am

whew! down to 13

10:46 am

af6 - in a new light, to see af6

10:46 am

af...not stale

10:46 am

ok dorens - will check it out fat chance, Haz!!! but thanks for the thought

10:46 am

brb

10:47 am

I don't know, hurshy. You sound strangely attracted to the idea of a back brace?

bye mamabear

10:47 am

i have TERRIBLE posture and am afraid i will end up a hunchback

10:47 am

Bye mama.

10:47 am

ty :)

10:47 am

Then you really should go to a Swiss Finishing school and balance books on your head.

10:48 am

or get a job ringing bells in castles

10:48 am

somehow i think swiss finishing school would cost more than a back brace

10:48 am

Or else go to Africa and learn how to carry really heavy loads on your head, those African women have wonderful straight backs.

10:48 am

But you'd get to defy Cl. Gadaffi if you went to Switzerland.

10:48 am

or go down to the west indies and walk with the women who carry baskets and enormous loads on their heads

why didn't you come and rescue me? couldn't you hear me calling when my sleeve caught on the neighbor's frence and the mower wanted to keep going? haz who is the official bable rescuer?

10:49 am

Dorens, I don't know if anyone has said this but I had a bad time with crutches (Rheumatoid arthritis) but it improved when my son adjusted the height until I found the right level for me.

10:49 am

oh, haz is right... they actually started in africa. but west indies is closer for hurshy

10:49 am

Whatever way you look at it, the pursuit of posture is going to send you travelling.

10:49 am

oh,poor owl

10:49 am

and then simple gardening is very dangerous for some people

10:50 am

The official babble rescuer? I'm not sure. Caitlyn mops up injuries...

10:50 am

thanks pat -- i made them shorter this morning and it helped. the soreness under my arm is probably frm yesterday. particularly the long trek from the Er exit to my car.

10:50 am

Do we have a volunteer for knight in shining armour?

when did this occur, doren?

10:51 am

isn't dorens in the armour?

10:51 am

ruru to the rescue, right?

10:51 am

stidmama... she is the best candidate

we have a knight GW

10:51 am

*shocked mama look*

10:51 am

Dorens SHOULD be in the armour.

10:51 am

LOL ru

if he had shown up the day would have been compete

10:52 am

actually owl, i did it last monday, but never saw dr. till yesterday. my stupidity, it started feeling somewhat better by friday, so i really overid it yesterday.

10:52 am

I had hoped Dachef might have shown up as well.

and he has OFFERED to come over and help me for real

10:52 am

yes haz. i will take the armour, thank you, but don't expect me to run around rescuing anyone, i can barely save myself

10:53 am

Well, there you are. GW is elected Knight in absentia.

10:53 am

I am more than half way done...but I still need the middle column E for NBT please? (apologizing in advance if it is a fish)

yes but he is here in spirit - in the grid - dachef that is

10:53 am

well, owl , if he had DONE today what he has OFFERED, then you would have been fine

the ultimate would be anj and lola, eh haz?

10:53 am

en7 - to put a border around a picture

10:53 am

car- what you might do to a picture before hanging it

10:54 am

10:55 am

going to hobble outside and enjoy the sun on the patio fo a bit. bbl

10:55 am

I am going to take a break. Have a good day y'all!

10:55 am

Of course, people arriving tonight are going to be shocked at missing out. 'You'll never guess who was here today.'

10:55 am

no hobbling - use the crutches!!!

10:55 am

Bye car and Dorens.

anyway i did not really like this shirt anyway, it was rather matronly. and i did nget it on sale so not too much of a loss. bye car and byr doren - you have SUN???

10:56 am

Not sending TO to the PB or anything, but take the ly ending off her description of the shirt and there's a word...

10:56 am

amazing sunny day here and about 75 f;)

10:57 am

Dorens, are you on crutches? It really upsets me to hear that people haven't been taught how to use them or even fit the crutch tothe right size these days

and i DON"T have it! i'll take a penalty!

10:58 am

Never worry, TO, stay around, you've wrestled with a lawnmower, you deserve a freeby.

10:58 am

The crutch should come to the level of the arm pit and the hand support of the cructh should be at your wrist when you have the crutch right under your armpit and your hand hanging down in a relaxed position

shirt WAS new though..i WILL NOT keep it around in hopes of figruing out a way to salvage it!

10:59 am

Don't be looking to m for ideas of how to repair the damage. I'd chuck it in the bin as well.

i never learned to sew. probably beaqcuse my mom sewed piecework for a living, it was the last thing she wanted to do at home

11:00 am

Don't be looking to m? I think I meant me.

11:01 am

i

anyway, sewing machines scare me

11:01 am

11:02 am

Sewing machines are a law unto themselves.

11:02 am

got it thanks!

11:02 am

I know, it was funny that both eyes turned up together.

11:02 am

sewing machines have a certain etui

11:02 am

You're welcome, science.

left and right, too

11:03 am

darn, I missed her. There are 3 different ways of using crutches

11:03 am

11:05 am

*gone*

mend heck, can i sue the guy? chain link not tied to fence properly

11:06 am

lol not enough damages to make it worth your while even in small claims TO

since mower is self propelled and i have rigged the dead man's switch, i am lucky it did not take my arm off

11:07 am

nbt

11:07 am

more likely your toe i'm thinking

11:07 am

hey! it's nutter!

11:07 am

uh not sure what the dead man's switch is but rigging it may mean you share some liability there

11:08 am

clue for second fr 6

11:08 am

my SIL lost 1 1/2 fingers on a lawn mower

ok now can you helop me settle my case vs. the tree trimmers who trimmed the wrong tree?

11:08 am

we talked about that one didn't we?

11:09 am

I thought they admitted their error

yes but they are not being so nice now

i got a dunning letter and found out that the manager has control over who gets them from corporate

11:10 am

what are the mean tree trimmers doing?

11:10 am

then just tell them the will have to go to court to get the money and you will counter sue for the damage to your tree

well they will either adjsut the bill or remoe the tre but not the stump, they will only grind it and the spaceis of limited use if the roots remain

if they remove the tree should i still be compensated for its value?

or is removel enough to square us away?

11:12 am

only you can answer that question

11:12 am

boobear - do you have a new puppy?...icon pic...

11:13 am

ce 6/21 clue .. the last ce please

well i don't want to be unreasonable

11:13 am

sorry ru I have no ce words

11:13 am

ce + cut **** liquor

11:13 am

no it is my sisters

11:14 am

useless clue since you do not pass that sign daily as i do... but anyway

11:14 am

ce + price

11:14 am

well I guess if that is the question then I would insist that they either grind out the stump or at the very least put stump remover chemical on it

11:14 am

that is the first one I think kje

11:14 am

yet without seeing the sign I get the clue kje

11:15 am

ok.... that is all i have - sorry

11:15 am

it's adorable...those eyes...

11:15 am

ru - how many left?

i did not but i knew it. not that i frequent liquor stores or anything

11:15 am

75.. just went to the list

11:15 am

and not ask for compensation for the lost tree -- unless it was a particularly valuable one

11:15 am

I have 130

11:16 am

213 but will need to turn on a light soon

if they grind the stump the roots will still be there and the spot is ideal for veg grden since it has never been treated

11:16 am

oh..that is enough of a lead for me...

11:16 am

ru ce6 - ce + abbreviation for routes

the tree is a blue spruce 28 years old 20 ft high

11:17 am

thank you kje

11:17 am

11:17 am

very sad but if you can gain a garden maybe worth it

11:17 am

will list and see if i can catch you

11:17 am

so what you want it for them to pull out the roots?

11:17 am

ty crossy

crossy-on-the-spot! ty sorry all to be a chog hog

11:18 am

11:18 am

:-D

:D sorry all

11:18 am

ei 7????

11:19 am

a full grown maple can actually have a value of in the tens of thousands

11:19 am

you'd need backhoe to pull 20 yr old roots...digging req'd

11:19 am

nm i am on the wrong word! LOL

they cut the rear branches that face the garage/house, you cannot see it but there is half a tree left

11:20 am

so find the value of the spruce, an estimate of the cost of removing the roots, and you will have an idea of what is fair.

11:20 am

yup

hello kate and everyone

2:31 pm

hi, nonnie, bugsaw, kate

2:31 pm

HI everyone. Just here while I have a cup of tea.

2:31 pm

hi nonnie

2:31 pm

greetings dc, br

2:32 pm

Hello, Nonnie and Kate

2:33 pm

jets overhead here all day. air sow's on. snow birds and blue angels etc.

I enjoy the airshows. We would go a lot when I was a child and while living in California.

2:35 pm

Snowbirds practice here every second year so we get lots of free shows

2:35 pm

same here, tho ottawa and toronto

2:35 pm

i wonder what i did to get recruited so heavily by the food/beverage industry. *shrug*

2:35 pm

we have a huge one here every labour day...very international, and always lots of the antiques

Sounds like a fun one, Kate.

2:36 pm

your spanish ?

2:36 pm

How long before your son-in-law comes home, Nonnie?

2:36 pm

schadenfreude pie, seain. You have good taste

2:36 pm

hm. perhaps. thank you, bugsaw :)

2:37 pm

it is. i go to the lake at end of street and sit on shore and watch

Oh, I am so sorry...I have not updated! He arrived home safe and sound Aug. 16th! It was so emotional. A group (and I mean a large group) of Harley riders escorted them from the airport to the base. We were not expecting that and it choked a bunch of us up.

2:38 pm

Llake at the end of the street? HOw wonderful.

2:38 pm

how lovely, nonnie

2:39 pm

Great that he is home, Nonnie

It was dc! And yes, thank you BR :) His entire unit made it home safely.

2:40 pm

am right on lake ontario bugs, 6 houses away

2:40 pm

I am glad that your servicemen are being well received when they come home now. I did not approve of soldiers in Vietnam but it would never have occurred to me to be disrespectful to those young men who served.

2:40 pm

oh, wonderful news bout the unit.

2:40 pm

I thank the big guy for the good fortune

2:41 pm

Kate I drive down to the ocean to watch their free show because they do so much close to the ground over the water. It makes the danger element so much clearer.

Indeed, br! I do every chance I get. I agree with you, Bugs.

Good afternoon, everyone!

2:42 pm

hi, takuma

Hello Takuma!

2:43 pm

good afternoon, Takuma

2:43 pm

can be very scary...especially if you watch from an odd angle...looks like craziness to me sometimes

2:44 pm

hi takuma

2:44 pm

is that the van air show?

2:44 pm

It IS craziness Kate but they are so skilled they make it look easy. That is the beauty of it.

2:45 pm

it's kinda cool that 100 years later we're still fascinated by heavier than air flight

2:45 pm

i really like the aerobatics...but seeing the old lancasters etc is always nice

2:45 pm

I live on Vancouver Island and we have an air base here.

2:46 pm

very fascinated, dc...am air force brat myself

2:46 pm

quadra?

2:46 pm

nm, that's naval

2:46 pm

How much air is based there, Bugsaw?

2:46 pm

Sometimes, on a pretty day that seems like any other day, I will look up into the sky and see a couple of jets carving out a giant heart in the sky.

2:47 pm

do you go to air shows dc?

2:47 pm

A good lot BR tho not nearly as much as flat earth has. Ours has a good sea smell to it tho

2:47 pm

Comox Air Base. Naden is naval in Victoria

2:48 pm

i think i was last at the one at Andrews AFB a decade or so ago.

2:48 pm

hui

2:48 pm

I suspect a smidgen cooler air at flat earth too

2:48 pm

had forgotten, ty

2:48 pm

growing up i spent a lot of time at the air fields at Fort Belvoir and MCB Quantico.

2:49 pm

Did you ever live out this way as a kid Kate?

Ah, dc...my old stomping grounds!

2:49 pm

bet they spare no expense at that one dc

did you ever go to the andrews afb airshows, dc?

2:49 pm

which is that, Nonnie?

oops- that was a little late

lol

2:50 pm

no, bugs. cousins did, and grandparents. have friends there in mission. sea cadet camp at quadra in 70's

I grew up near Andrews AFB and when I lived in my first "grown up all on my own" place it was near Fort Belvoir.

2:50 pm

once, the Secret Service picinic was the same day as the air show at Andrews. Early 80s sometime.

2:50 pm

oh, neat Nonnie

we used to go to the andrews show every year when I was in HS

2:51 pm

Quadra Sea cadet camp is here. My favourit place for long walks on the beach in winter. Too busy in summer.

2:51 pm

the picnic was held at Andrews

2:51 pm

why were you at air fields so much in youth dc?

2:52 pm

co 6/24 please with chocolate on top? =)

2:52 pm

i grew up midway between Belvoir and Quantico, an so spent time there with various neighbors who were in the service.

I was able to see the presidential motorcade a time or two go by on the parkway from DC to Andrews.

2:53 pm

My mind is off imaging the goings on at a Secret Service family picnic . . . .

co + **** comes the bride

Takuma--where did you live back then and when?

2:53 pm

that works better than mine...;-)

2:53 pm

thank you very much

lol bugs

2:54 pm

nice that gave me the 8 as well ty again

2:54 pm

ah, the motorcade. years ago, walking with friends down Connecticut Ave, it was closed at Florida for a motorcade. Friend who grew up here and i sat on the wall next to the Hylton. Other person, who did not grow up here, went off on an embarrassing trade about being inconvenienced while the two of us tried to calm here and we apologised to others. sigh

2:54 pm

ty for the clue

2:54 pm

and the 7!

I grew up in Silver Spring

up through the 90s, then after college moved back to DC for the late 90s

Cool...we lived in Bethesda in the early 80s and then Rockville late 80s and then back one last time in Gaithersburg.

heh, the DC area seems to be one of those places that many folks move to at some point

2:58 pm

indeed so, takuma

dc, too bad for you and your friend. I always thought of it as a little bit of history going by.

2:59 pm

exactly, one of those little five- or ten-minute interruptions that comes with living here.

3:00 pm

wi 7 - help please!

3:00 pm

it's moreso, dippnall, and stand-alone

3:01 pm

ar 6/18 please

As a federal worker, we'd get passes to go a visit the White House and stand on the lawn when a visit dignitary was in town. If we attended, we'd get the rest of the day off! One of life's little perks.

3:02 pm

exacly, Nonnie :)

3:03 pm

3:03 pm

I have 39 words left, and the worst it that they are o's (1), t's - a bunch, and w's. le sigh

3:33 pm

funny, I seem to type better when intoxicated.

3:33 pm

3:34 pm

needless to say, didn't stay with him too long...either really crappy taste in books or nasty slice of your"pie".. either way i wasn't sticking around..

3:34 pm

"nasty slice of your pie" oh my. LOL

3:35 pm

hmm I would have thought that the in 5/16 would not be a real word rather a prefix

3:35 pm

I figured a relationship was in trouble when she said, "Come again, when you don't have so long to stay."

3:35 pm

no6?

3:36 pm

LOL - that would be a good clue

3:36 pm

Good day to all! I just got home from work---busy day despite the holiday.

3:44 pm

I would like to organize a DC Babble get-together on Fri or Sat after T'giving

3:44 pm

who liked the even numbers?...if you divide 50 by 2, you get a nice square...which has its own symetry

3:44 pm

oh, for that i'm happy to travel :)

3:44 pm

Remember, when we were kids, imagining writing 2___ for the year instead of 19__, and thinking of the year we would turn 50? Well, it's he4 already!

6:48 pm

is that the flirting thing?

6:49 pm

yeah.. what is that about?

6:49 pm

wi7 anyone?

6:50 pm

wi4 + superlative pigeon

maybe he's sending a message? or more probably, something he noticed and wished to comment on

6:51 pm

I guess..

6:51 pm

wi7 = w + perhaps + one who matches a score, or secures things with string or rope

6:52 pm

when he comes around ask him ruru

6:53 pm

he doesn't really talk to me.

6:53 pm

oh

6:53 pm

huh?

6:53 pm

he doesn't seem verbose to say the least

6:55 pm

parsiminous with his verbiage, i mean to say

6:56 pm

hi everyone

7:28 pm

7:28 pm

hi Dorens

7:28 pm

hey flosey. ((hugs)) I know how that is. My new computer is finally working pretty well, but the old one is in the sh4 because it was not behaving well.

7:28 pm

Hi Dorens, is the night shift arriving?

7:28 pm

hey DORENS!!!! *bounce bounce* how are the younguns?

7:28 pm

later flosey, love to mr flo

7:28 pm

hey all

7:29 pm

hey Jen

7:29 pm

Tag, Jen

7:29 pm

the young uns are great stid. phoebe started her new "school" (harvard daycare) and just loves it! Levi will be there in october

7:29 pm

how's school for you stid?

7:29 pm

wonderful. so glad they are well. in October? isn't that just a tad young for Harvard? LOL

7:31 pm

Gee, now I know of at least 4 young ones starting Harvard. The other three are teens though

7:31 pm

i laugh stid. i have one son who's a professor there, one son who will graduate this may , and two grandkids there in daycare... what a legacy!

7:31 pm

no kidding, dorens! mine are just... *shrug* ordinary. like me. which is okay as long as they are happy that way.

7:32 pm

I meet people who are at places like harvard and I am just so overwhelmed by their intellect that I quite fade away...

7:32 pm

mine are ordinary too, honest they are

7:32 pm

and stid, you are far far from ordinary

7:33 pm

stid, you have completed favorably all your life... no reason for that fact to change now

7:33 pm

??? well, I am extraordinarily disorganized. Did you see the pics I put up yesterday on the website? I made even more progress today so naturally the room looks even worse. LOL

7:34 pm

(((BR))) you are wonderful!

7:35 pm

Harvard doesn't mean you're smarter than everyone else, it means you chose well, and got in.

waaaaaaaa I wanna go to Harvard

7:35 pm

of course it doesn't hurt to have smarts too!

7:35 pm

I didn't even try for Harvard. The fast pace isn't for me. I also really don't like the competitive angle.

7:36 pm

absolutely right lbd

7:36 pm

LOL true!

scratches head s m a r t s like what's that :P

7:36 pm

Harvard was only for boys in my days, so I went to Vassar

7:37 pm

oh me neither. when i left NYU (got married halfway through college) , my husband went to med school in Philadelphia. I wouldn't have dreamed to applying to the university of pennsylvania (ivy league), only applied to Temple (state school) and good that i did. I graduated magna cum laude. that never would have happened at Penn

7:37 pm

I didn't think you were that old, inge! Or maybe I didn't think HArvard was that silly for so long?

We have a couple of blue ribbon uni's here but they are a bunch of snobs.

7:37 pm

clue for ne 6

7:38 pm

radcliffe was for women when i wen tto college

Dorens and Inge what did you study?

7:38 pm

well it isn't nerfer, boo!

7:38 pm

Did you see the story of lthe Rochester Hills High school student, who found himself a family, instead fo Detroit Childens home (orphanage), and is now at Harvard?

7:38 pm

I tried that...

7:38 pm

what a great story, inge -- hadn't heard that one.

7:39 pm

I was an english major at nyu,, switched to education when i transferred to Temple, herin

7:39 pm

History, with a lot of Spanish and Economics

Wow Ing and Dorens.

7:39 pm

Yes, lady -- I know that there are some good schools down under too! I am of the opinion though that the real determinant of success is not the school, but the student.

7:39 pm

ne + talk show host, **g** Philbin

7:39 pm

Motivation, ability to ask the right questions, to persevere...

7:40 pm

thanks BR -- another one down, only 222 to go!

7:40 pm

one good thing about harvard, they do use their endowment to give deserving but disadvantaged kids a chance... they are full of kids with amazing stories

Stid one school told me even if i got Duex and certificates and such too friggen bad. Too old have a nice day

7:40 pm

ty, BR, and hi, all!

7:40 pm

hey rbuf!

7:40 pm

oops rbud!

7:40 pm

my mantra is, when in doubt, mumble

Hi Rbud

I like that Babble

7:41 pm

hi br, hi rbud

7:41 pm

At least we don't have that around here lady -- age discrimination laws would prevent it. Or at least land prospective students a tidy sum.

7:41 pm

Hello, Rose

7:41 pm

oh herin, harvard has an "extension school" which is actually night school.. filled with kids like my son david who were brilliant but screwed up when younger, now that they are (average age 30) they deserve a chance.... terrific program

7:41 pm

*mumble mumble mumble*

7:42 pm

and less than half the price of regular harvard college

7:42 pm

checking out your flowery cane, Stid, might need one myself! did something drastic to my knee, don't quite trust it at the moment. And that was my *good* knee, sigh.

7:42 pm

Hello, Commodore

Dorens I like that idea. I was told I would basically have to pay $8,000 for one year then transfer into law. I was royally pissed. I did not complete high school as I had issues and I spent most of my 20's screwing up

7:43 pm

and Dorens and herin and peeples

7:43 pm

interesting topic in your profile BR..what is that about?

7:43 pm

being older this last year has really been an advantage for me. Not only do I have basic underlying maturity I lacked at 18; but I also really wanted to do well, so managed to get through... though of course the house and yard fell apart.

7:43 pm

also Columbia University , another IVy League school here, has a similar night program

7:44 pm

yes, David is so excited about his classes.. takes thm so much more seriously than someone ten years younger would

Hi ru. Ok I must love you and leave you. I have to go get dressed and count the days till holidays

7:44 pm

Stid, I envy you for that cane. I ought to get one for myself. Keep hanging on to the shopping cart in the store and limp along elsewehre

7:44 pm

good profile, BR -- I don't know if my Tom remembers how to flirt... LOL parenting takes too much energy

7:44 pm

I skipped my senior year of high school, went into college on an early entry program - never got a HS diploma. Still hard to explain on job apps.

7:45 pm

hasta, herin

7:45 pm

hi herin.. have a good time

7:45 pm

oh, inge, get a cane -- BUT have a physical therapist make sure it's the right size for you and that you know how to use it. It really does help.

7:45 pm

bye for now, herin

7:45 pm

au revoir, lady!

Rbud try this for an explanation. No references from any job I have every worked. 32 this year and nil experience techniqually

7:46 pm

but if you don't have the right length or use it incorrectly it can play havoc with your shoulder (personal experience)

7:46 pm

I have to go now, dammit (bridge night) but just wanted to say grandson (age 31) has moved to Vancouver from Montreal and will start his Masters in Creative Writing (Poetry) at the University of British Columbia right away.

7:46 pm

good advice stid... i got crutches yesterday (sprained ankle) and they weren't adjusted properly... hurt a lot to use them... today, adjusted them and it's a whole new story

7:46 pm

oh, dear, that would be a problem, herin!

7:47 pm

hi jilli

7:47 pm

JILL!!!! (((hugs hugs hugs))) so glad he's more local now!

7:47 pm

hi and bye, jilli!

7:47 pm

I am reluctant to ask my doctor for a referral to a physical therapist.

7:47 pm

why, inge?

7:47 pm

he's near you jilli? nice!

7:48 pm

OK, gotta leave with 64 left -- see you well after the flip

HI And bye OSGMA

7:48 pm

later jill. be well and see you soon.

7:48 pm

OSGMA???

OVer Seas Grand Ma

7:48 pm

Enjoy my goofy-looking Dane -- will be changing it momentarily

7:49 pm

I would rather stay home and play babble adn sudoku all day. Dont want to meet people

7:49 pm

oh, that is a very silly dog!

7:49 pm

btw, grandso signed his email "Grandsome". He IS creative -- and funny.

7:49 pm

nicei great dane jilli... btw, lexulous, don't forget. enjoy the bridge tonight

7:50 pm

ah. I understand, inge. well ... if you have to see the doc for anything else, do ask. AND ask if you can get a handicapped placard as well. That has made a lot of difference to me at times.

7:51 pm

Gotta go. Bye till tomorrow. Gute Nacht

7:51 pm

I only use it when I need it, and so I have enough energy to do what I have to do -- rather than spending it all in the parking lot.

7:51 pm

later inge (((Hugs)) ) be well.

7:53 pm

gute nacht inge. schlafen

7:56 pm

8:07 pm

8:07 pm

8:07 pm

8:11 pm

8:11 pm

8:11 pm

fr 6 - dining outside in the open, al fr****

8:12 pm

8:12 pm

or some sort of art method, right? (I think)

8:12 pm

thanks rbud.. turns out i acually had that one! the f i'm missing is the second 7/44... didn't enter that one into lickey

8:13 pm

is the AF 6 fishy?

8:13 pm

back for a bit;) hide your bacon;))

8:13 pm

the 7/44 is the participle of the verb -- I think.

8:13 pm

not really, depends on how you look at it.. i had a hard time with it, but then when i looked at it with new eyes, a different way, i found it

8:14 pm

hey cross!

8:15 pm

you can have my bacon cross.. it's sitting in the fridge waiting for you

8:15 pm

watched the final episode of mash on history channel(that it is on history channel is scary!) still as fine a finale as it was when it first aired;))

8:15 pm

it is a good one, cross. the whole series was excellent. But sometimes too close to reality.

8:15 pm

probably the best finale ever, cross.. and stid, thanks but i don't get that

8:16 pm

indeed

8:16 pm

I was always mildly entertained by the thought that the series lasted longer than the war.

8:16 pm

take the fr 5/18 adjective, and turn it into the verb using a helping verb... I have to fr7 up for my date

8:17 pm

ok that explains it. i'm looking for the second FE 7, not fr7

8:17 pm

the second bob newhart show was the best finale ever

8:17 pm

oh! sorry dorens

8:17 pm

hey jmc

8:17 pm

hi all

8:17 pm

i remember the first time it aired..lol i borrowed a generator from next door just in case the power would of gone out had the rabbit ears all set just right and had it on the channel all day so no one could mess with the rabbit ears..sigh hehe

8:18 pm

no worries stid. i probably didn't ask right.. that's what happens when i come home from dinner with ken and his family... too much vino

8:18 pm

9:06 pm

a very marriage oriented grid

9:06 pm

We had a mystery in our house earlier. I came back to my computer after being out shopping and then cooking dinner etc., to find a jpeg on my dsktop that I hadn't put th5/12. It was a salacious pic of a naked woman with a tattoo on her flank. I accused Other Half first but he claimed innocence. I asked my son, my stepdaughter and even rang my daughter to see if she had put it there. They all said that they hadn't. In the end, Other Half said it must have 'jumped' from one of his spam mails. Hmm. Anyway, we ran a virus scan (named Luke Filewalker) and nothing was found. Still a mystery how it got there.

9:06 pm

complete with several bodily functions....

9:06 pm

Harp - That's my lucky number, too!

9:07 pm

cool jac! We married on 02/02/2002

9:07 pm

wow jacula! did you check the history?

9:07 pm

interesting spam

9:09 pm

whew 1/2 way!

9:09 pm

Didn't get chance, Trif 'cos Other Half stuck it in the 'bin' and emptied it. I don't think he put it there intentionally; like he said, he wouldn't have left it on the desktop. LOL

9:10 pm

hmmm pretty fast action there by OH jac! lol

9:11 pm

Harp - that adds up to 8.

9:11 pm

you can still check the history

9:11 pm

so it does, jac

9:11 pm

we stayed in room 222

9:11 pm

and had breakfast the next day at 222 W Main

9:12 pm

and, when I went to the emergency room with food poisoning, i was admitted to room 2

9:13 pm

and was released from the hospital at 2:22 a.m.

9:13 pm

Let's add up the date of my doomed marriage (not my relationship now, we're 'living in sin')... 5 + 3 = 8 + 1 = + 9 = 18 + 7 = 25 + 7 = 32. 3 + 2 = 5.

9:13 pm

hmmm food poisoning doesn't sound too lucky to me

9:13 pm

We arrived home the next afternoon at 2:22

9:13 pm

well, except for the vomit it was a great honeymoon! : )

9:13 pm

Guess, I should have worked that out before, rather than thinking of the 2 7's (also one of my lucky numbers).

9:13 pm

e's enterred!

9:14 pm

Harp - Blimey!

9:14 pm

well we're still together 8 years later....

9:29 pm

I had a new passport 'photo taken today. So glad to get rid of the awful one from 10 years ago. However, I was told to take my specs off and I wasn't allowed to smile even a little bit. I still look like a scarey old bag, but not so bad as in last decade's pic. Mind you, once they've put the hologram oon the pic, I will look like a terrorist in need of a shave, if Other Half and Stepdaughter's passport pics are anything to go by.

9:29 pm

ce + currency marker or maybe speed.

9:30 pm

old english, means certain

9:30 pm

(after ce it egins with a rodent.)

9:30 pm

jac, car.eeyore and I have a running contest to see who can get the WORST driver's license photo. the photos are always awful, so we go BIG to see who can get the worst one. I ruled last time - stuck my head out the window the whole way to the registry (which in my case brings me into chaka kahn territory.....) and ugly make up, the whole nine yards. When clerks in the store ask to see it they bust out laughing.

9:31 pm

glad we will be able to identify you when you are coming here

9:31 pm

Trif - any chance of seeing that one? I'd love to have a laugh at your expense. *grins*

9:32 pm

thanks

9:32 pm

geesh, not just at the moment - I don't even know where my purse is right now! I think I left it out in the car....

9:32 pm

okay -- falling asleep here

9:32 pm

jmc - are you saying that you'll be looking out for a scarey old bag at the airport? HUMPH! *stamps foot*

9:32 pm

WAKE UP JMC!!!

9:32 pm

think I will hit the hay

9:33 pm

sleep well, dear jmc...hope you have great dreams!

9:33 pm

I might have been saying I was looking for scary old bags coming down from Mass. ;-)

9:33 pm

odd that I fall asleep earlier while I am not working

9:33 pm

sweet sleeps, JMC. take an asprin before bed, help the aches through the night

9:34 pm

9:34 pm

Dormez bien, jmc.

9:35 pm

9:35 pm

*poof*

9:36 pm

mc's left her purse in the car? I would neverleave any valuables in the car, especially not my handbag (purse).

9:37 pm

A purse in the UK is the thing you keep your money, cards and keys in. That is then put into your handbag.

9:37 pm

I left my purse in my car. safe as houses - we live WAAAAAY back in the woods, and the car is most likely locked anyway.

9:37 pm

it's only at risk of coyote attack, really

9:37 pm

besides, I would rather if a thief did wander down here, they just take the purse out of my car and be on their merry way, and leave us in peace

9:37 pm

Oh, and your handbag contains most things ;vital' to your every day running of life. LOL

9:38 pm

40 to go, there's hope!

9:38 pm

Harp, just yell if you need help.

9:43 pm

I am sorry to hear of your sleep troubles, jac. There is nothing so awful as a sleepless night....

OOps! I stuck the jack plug in the second hole and not the first and that Dean Martin song I played for Harp was heard by my son, who sleeps above the office and woke him up.:(( He's always been a light sleeper. Oh, the times we had trying to get him off to sleep when he was a baby.

May I please have a clue for re4-4? Thanks

10:27 pm

re4/4 behind

10:27 pm

When pushing him in his pram to the village aand back, I often had to do things to entertain him, to stop him bawling his head off... they included doing a Thundrebirds impersonation, and one of a goldfish in a bowl. That set the theme for 'locals' knowing I'm a nutter. I now do same impersonations if walking down same road with grown-up children just to embarrass them. Hey, it's fun.

10:28 pm

10:42 pm

y/w both and thank God.

10:43 pm

need a clue for the co8 plz????

10:44 pm

I hope 'Step' gets up for school later, but no doubt her Dad will ring her at about 8am and her friend will be at the door half an hour before school starts. She arrived a couple of hours early on the first day of the new school year earlier. Didn't realise that all but new starters didn't need to be the4 before 10.50am.

10:45 pm

co8 clear and logical

10:45 pm

co8 = making sense. If you've had a blow on the head or a drink or three, you might not talk sense.

10:46 pm

10:50 pm

Step's friend is a tiny black girl (even smaller than me , and I'm only 5' 2") with huge eyes. Her family came her 'not long ago' (maybe in the last 20 years). both her parent died and she is looked after by a siter and some relatives. I haven't questioned her yet, but I thin she may be a reufugee from Rwanda.

10:50 pm

*sister, I meant.

10:50 pm

man, this is definitely one of those grids where a number of words I've entered have just disappeared!

10:51 pm

She's 14 and is scared of domestic cats but not lions.

10:51 pm

Jac, what a life she's already led . . .

10:52 pm

Une - Yes, and I asked her not to ring the doorbell at 7.30am but to just knock, as she'd wake others in the house up. I feel awful now.

10:56 pm

got all the 8's now, but need clue for the re9, need to get off to work......?????

10:56 pm

hey, just noticed I'm > halfway!

10:56 pm

She's very interested in 'how much family' we have and also says we have 'a lot of space' and that was just the kitchen she was talking about. I'd just woken up and was feeling a little grumpy. I offered her a cup of tea, which she declined, but I feel rotten now.

10:57 pm

yay, pav! and firewords for me!

10:57 pm

yay Une!

10:57 pm

jac, stop it! You're being very welcoming . . .

10:57 pm

going blind from this grid -- nite, all! *poof*

10:57 pm

re9 - think press F5 on your keyboard and then add a consonant.

10:57 pm

re + bovine female after having had one calf is a ***** cow

10:58 pm

be well, Une

10:59 pm

Une - I guess I am, but I didn't KNOW. i guess if 'Step' doesn't get the full story, I will in the next few months.

11:00 pm

finally got it, thanks guys....have to work now (still 93 short!!!!) see you on the flip side

11:01 pm

'Night Une.

11:01 pm

Good evening all, how goes the grid? I am here to help clue if needed But I am sure BR is on top of that =)

11:02 pm

The thing aboutour local high school is that they accept all, hear the story but don't pass it on to the students. They leave it up to the kids to tell what they want to if they want to.

11:03 pm

Hence, Step's story of her mother who prefers the pervo b/f not being told. That's proabably best all round.

11:04 pm

HI Meliae.

11:08 pm

My main thing about Step's possibly Rwandan friend last school year was surprise and then delight when she first rang our doorbell. At 5 foot 2 inches tall, I tend to look above me whenI open the door to callers, I did that when V first called and couldn't see anyone until I looked below my chin. At last! There she was! Someone smaller than myself who was over the age of 11.

11:10 pm

If you don't knw about the machete wars, watch the film Hotel Rwanda.

11:22 pm

Te killing was 'officially' stopped in 1994m but it didn't stop, I guess.

11:23 pm

Sorry - a bit too true and raw for the chog, I guess. I'll shut up now.

11:24 pm

I really must remember to stop getting 'all political' on this site.
