12:59 am

(((mrp))) (((((((ALL))))))) *poof*

1:00 am

yes please, mrp :)

1:00 am

hi mrp

1:00 am

well, can't sleep, so back to see what I can find before I get drowsy

one word clue.... pedogenesis

1:00 am

hello again flosey

1:00 am

hi again flosey

1:01 am

hi Jilli, Kate, mrp

hi jilli, kate, flosey et al

how many ne 8's? I have one ...

1:03 am

Gotta go for a while - back later

only 1 dee

1:03 am

(puzzling hard over pedogenesis, mrp)

1:03 am

hi Dee

ty ... how many ne 9's please?

jilli, google it or dictionary it

1 dee

thx so much mrp

1:04 am

isn't pedogenesis what Michael Jackson went through?

1:04 am

is de9 a compound word?

no flosey

it comes off the first de4

1:05 am

ty mrp

1:05 am

will do, mrp -- I think I have the first 3 letters...

I don't think he ever broke through adolescence ruuster

1:07 am

I think he probably did mr p

it is a word that combines newborn and adolescents

if you have the first 3 letters of newborn, add a number and pluralise it

1:10 am

got it

1:10 am

how do you find these things mr p..(amazing)

oooh, I clued good!

1:10 am

got it too, ty mrp

1:11 am

you sure did

ruuster, I seek and destroy the biggies!

1:11 am

1 9 to go

1:11 am

someone clue the de9?

1:11 am

got the de9 just by instinct :)

do you have the first de4??

1:12 am

I think so

1:12 am

de 9 = a place for the head of a college, ends like where they make wine (pl)

extend it and pluralize it

1:13 am

oops, "places", not "a place"

1:13 am

geezus

1:13 am

I agree, ru!

1:13 am

9's are done..

1:13 am

just need a couple of 8's

1:14 am

ruru, hope you dropped us for ge4/11

1:15 am

2:31 am

right, always think of you when I see those - also the needlecase which is not in today

:)

2:32 am

LOL!

I think I have typed in orange at least 4 times

2:37 am

don't you just hate it, you know a word is there, but can't see how the letters make it.

2:37 am

you're not alone with that!

yes, then I am thankful this is not a grid that has to be moused, rather than typed

2:38 am

sometimes I type a word without looking and it's there - don't bother to find where it is hiding

ditto that flosey

for the life of me, I cannot find my last o

2:38 am

I've done that too -- in this gird

2:44 am

night, book!

2:46 am

I giggled when I found not only the game with the green fuzzy ball, te 6, but also the slang for the shoes worn to play it, te 7 - didn't think that would pass Enable

hi all!

2:47 am

howdy, mrp!

how is everyone? nice to see you all :)

hi mrp!

2:48 am

thanks for the shoes, rbud!

2:48 am

hi again mrp

2:48 am

yw

2:49 am

127 left and eyes are closing so nightynight all!

has J.C. been around lately?? I have been concerned that we ran him off.

2:49 am

g'night, jilli!

nite jilli :)

2:50 am

He's away, mrp, doing a show in Norwich

can I get a clue for the de9 please/

oh wow!

I hope he stays the hell away. little creep

2:50 am

yes, someone posted his list of appearances earlier, sounds like he's busy

2:51 am

ditto, herin

I didn't realise he was still working! great stuff he does

I am sorry but anyone that claims they have ''friends'' watching the chat freaks me the hell out which is why i have been lurking

2:51 am

ah, yes, I agree he is a disturbing influence, who or whatever he is

2:52 am

herin, did you get my email today?

infern, dont judge him to harshly... he has a fan base that look up to his values, being passionate and being predisposed to outbursts of passion are two different things... it will all calm down me thinks

2:52 am

how should he be judged for abusing Andree, mrp?

2:53 am

but - anyone who makes people feel uncomfortable is not a good addition to Babble, imho.

looking

2:53 am

Stop it! You are abusing him!

I swear if someone makes me feel this uncomfortable I am not going to remain sillet

2:53 am

I am leaving.

andree is upset, fair enough... i love andree. I also appreciate individual choices

2:53 am

no, we aren't. we are discussing his actions

jilli, don't leave!

2:54 am

I've never seen him say anything disturbing

2:54 am

Herin, you are making yourself uncomfortable by believeing a lot of nonsense and refusing to listen to the truth.

2:54 am

good

2:54 am

mrp, it isn't a load of nonsense

Fine I am leaving. Its not worth being in tears

2:54 am

I was half asleep anyway but I won't stay quiet about this and have said my piece.

2:55 am

well nor will people who think he is a bullying creep

2:55 am

bullying? creep?

2:55 am

And that isn't abusing him?

2:55 am

no, it's my opinion of him based on his words

2:56 am

I think he's a gentle sweet guy

2:56 am

he disturbs me constantly by calling everyone by their real names - but only the ones he "approves" of, and the constant "you have mail" and so on, and so on...

2:56 am

a sweet gentle guy who wrote a blog abusing andree? nice ...

2:56 am

You are right, flosey.

2:56 am

I missed that, sorry

well, I have always liked him and everyone is entitled to screw up

2:57 am

sorry, I usually don't say much, but this has gotten to me. I read his blog, it was an obsessive rant, as far as I'm concerned, and totally uncalled for.

2:57 am

agreed

2:57 am

hi everyone

2:58 am

Disagree if you like, but don't go overboard.

2:58 am

have to say my piece here

I have screwed up many a time... I am hopeless at times

2:58 am

hi andree!

it certainly was a rant

(Hi all). I read some things about this yesterday but haven't actually seen what he wrote. Could anyone email me the link? em in profile.

2:58 am

j c lifted my profile and started a blog about the dog i am getting

2:58 am

he insuled me and does not even know me

as I said, he was being over passionate and it spilled over to a personal level that shouldn't have happened

2:59 am

and what dog i get is my decision alone

2:59 am

I think the most unfortunate aspect of J.C. is that he has managed to divide babblers so effectively. It's continuing even without him being here. I've been under attack from him (didn't you get e-mails from him,jillibus and flosey, suggesting that I was quite the sort of person to send abusive e-mails to babblers?). so I know what it's like to feel his venom.

here sally

mrp, I wouldn't call that passionate (even by definition); hurtful and inappropriate

http://jpcjournal.blogspot.com/2009/09 /urg-ll-t-nn.html#comment-form here it is

3:00 am

very much agreed, haz

3:00 am

I have not had any email from JC, he has never said anything to me about anyone else

absolutely andree!

You can disagree with someoneone's lifestyle but you should not insult them.

3:00 am

he is a mean horrible man and that is nothing to what he said about me

Thanks mrp.

3:00 am

He probably didn't know that I have copies of e-mails between him and others. I kept quiet about him for a long time, out of respect to those who seemed to enjoy his company. I'll go back to ignoring him if he ever comes around again, again out of respect to those who do enjoy him and because it's safer to stay under his radar of abuse.

3:01 am

how dare anyone lift a profile from babble, its so not in the right spirit

3:01 am

the link is in his profile here, and it's the comments that really go too far. Trifioso stuck up for Andree, and did a lovely job, too.

totally agree about that andree

3:01 am

yes, she really did!

3:02 am

he has his spies, as he says. but we notice what goes on too ...

3:02 am

he calls them " followers" its pretty sick, i would be really embarrased at being called anyones follower

3:03 am

t

3:03 am

Twitter calls them followers and so do several other networks.

3:03 am

One of the positive things about babble has always been that we can discuss all sorts of subjects and although we don't agree with each other, there is a spirit of tolerance. If I were to express my opposition every time someone made a decision I didn't agree with, I'd probably become extremely unpopular. I've learned to be more tolerant, it's a pity that J.C. apparently hasn't been able to understand why babblers feel so disturbed that he has ridden roughshod through the standards that have built up over the years.

I support pure breed dogs, but I don't object to anyone taking in a pet from any place!! His objections were strong and wide felt. Yes, he has divided babblers, but we are kind to eachother and know what can happen on this chog. Those of us that are 'family' can argue and disagree, but still get over it. I love all opinions, but abuse is past opinion

3:04 am

and i need to say a word here in herin's defence, she would have liked me to get a rescue pet but wishes me well anyway, she is most upset about the cyber bullying and is not afraid to say so

I think I simplified what you said Haz LOL!! you are a scholar

3:05 am

babble is not his playground to garner minions in and be adored, as much as he wants it that way

3:06 am

j c has divided babblers fortunatly not many left on his side, he has really in trif's words crossed the line

I am pleased you have the pet you want andree!!

3:06 am

And now, I don't know about anyone else, but have you seen the size of this grid?

I hope you bring your doggie for a play date with Vixie!!

3:07 am

it's biiiiiiiiiig

3:07 am

and my profile today is a photo of him taken a week ago

3:08 am

ohhhh he's adorable

3:08 am

i should get him by the end of the month and a play date would be fun

oh what a cutie!!!

3:09 am

he is exactly what i want, i would have loved a pure spaniel but need something smaller and low shedding

3:09 am

< - pure spaniel. You can see why Andree would want pure spaniel.

3:09 am

he's just adorable

3:10 am

ditto hobbit. we spaniel owners are smug

3:10 am

Smuggest of the smug.

3:10 am

oh yes

3:10 am

oh, andree,he's gorgeous. well picked1

hi rose!!!

3:11 am

apart from the owner of the springer yesterday who was plodding round drinking up other dogs' wee puddles *facepalm*

did you see my facebook yet girls?? andree and rose are featured!!!

3:11 am

Good evening, grannyrose.

3:11 am

hey, mrp.dust storm cleared yet?

3:11 am

The owner was drinking dogs' wee?

3:11 am

hey haz

3:12 am

apparently it's a delicacy in kent

yes rose, thank goodness! the dust is disgusting ... absolutely everywhere in the house!!

3:12 am

Check your sentence, Ata!

3:12 am

lol I know ... I'm *tired*!

If I would have know it was coming, would have taped up the doors

3:12 am

I like how you mentioned, Andree, that the breeder uses some of her money to help with orphans in Rwanda - that's so lovely of her!

Excuse me but did someone say that we are attacking JC because of his lifestyle? DID i just read that right?>

OK, back from speed reading. Well said and defended Trifioso. Hadn't realised JC was who he says he is although I had wondered. Someone in the public eye should perhaps choose words more carefully! Anyway, back to this ginormous grid.

where did you read that infern?

Sallycat 300am: You can disagree with someoneone's lifestyle but you should not insult them. Does this mean you are saying Sally that we are attacking him because of his lifestyle?

3:15 am

no, herin, I don't think so. I think she meant Andree's lifestyle getting a bred puppy

3:15 am

I don't think that's how she meant it, herin, I believe she was saying he was picking on Andree's lifestyle, actually.

Was she referring to Andree and her choices perhaps?

3:16 am

i don't think his lifestyle was mentioned, that would make us as judgemental as he is

good ok sure ok Thanks sorry I will shut the frog up. Go bang my head on a wall sorry. I must have miss read

No, no, no!! I meant that JC could disagree with Andree getting a pure-bred, but should not make it a personal attack.

Thank you Sally. I am going to go stick my head under a tap and hopefully drown this cold.

can't be arsed arguing any more.

Isn't there a quote, I disagree with what you do but defend your right to do so? Sorry, poor memory atm.

3:17 am

awwww herin go look after yourself *hugs*

3:17 am

Don't bang your head on the wall, herin. Breathe deeply, count to ten and look at that nice big grid over there. < THOUSANDS of points, THOUSANDS.

3:17 am

something like that, sally!

3:18 am

i know lots disagree and thats what i expect , but to ram it down my throat and bully me is not on

3:19 am

Hello everyone

3:19 am

hi lynxxx

3:19 am

Hello lynxxx.

sally, I think the quote is I don't agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.... or something like that

3:20 am

especially when we all know that we could have a perfectly amicable discussion with you about how you made your choices so we could understand why such a thing was best for you

3:20 am

hi lyn. and fireworks for me.

I don't disagree as it happens Andree. For myself, I would always choose a rescue - but I have no issue with people that don't. As it happens, I didn't get rescue chickens, but pure-breeds :-)

3:20 am

hi lyn! hi Mr Rescue Dog :)

3:20 am

Wow Granny! Congrats!

3:20 am

yay rose

3:20 am

wow granny!

3:20 am

woohoo, g'rose!!!!

3:20 am

Well done grannyrose! How many thousands of points are we aiming for?

3:21 am

ty all, youngestson here visiting, will bbl

wtg granny!!

3:21 am

haz, 7020 points

3:21 am

WOW

3:22 am

wow, and I only have 4040 so far - something to aim for, lol!

3:22 am

Wonderful! I feel inspired.

7020? I have 129 so far :-(

3:22 am

Well, pick up the pace, Sally! No dawdling!

3:22 am

points? or words, Sally?

3:22 am

not sure inspired is the right word ..

Points! Think I should get stuck in.

3:23 am

challlenged perhaps?

3:23 am

yes!

3:24 am

I refuse to use 'challenging'. Everything is challenging these days. What's wrong with saying difficult?

3:24 am

quick duck...I can feel the saucepans flying thru the air

3:24 am

but I did find a 9 on my own :)

3:24 am

Sorry, you've set me off on a pet peeve. You don't want to set me off on pet peeeves.

3:24 am

or bloody hard, perhaps?

3:24 am

I woulld never call you 'difficult'!

3:24 am

oh no, virtual saucepans!

3:24 am

tesco! oooops I didn't say that

3:25 am

Blood pressure rising dangerously....

3:25 am

get thee to some wi8!

tesco? Wash your mouth out.

3:26 am

And nobody type redundant apostrophes if you don't want me to blow up.

3:26 am

remember the new diplomatic you

3:26 am

we are now getting a new supermarket to rival tesco. thank goodness

3:26 am

That's right, Andree. I had nearly forgotten about my diplomacy diploma.

3:26 am

down to 100 for tomorrow, goodnight for real this time

3:26 am

well, I'm off to bed, with lots perhaps unsaid, but I do want to say the puppy's cute as heck, Andree, and I don't care how or where you got him! ((((Hugs, all!))))

3:27 am

bye flosey

3:27 am

bye rbud!

3:27 am

bye Rosebud, night Flosey

nite rbud

3:27 am

bye rbud and thx

lent

ooooohh! Sorry. Slinks to pb with coffee.

3:28 am

Bye flosey.

3:28 am

my turn to cook so i had better make a move before my daughter starves, back soon

3:29 am

bye Andree

3:30 am

bye Andree

3:30 am

Bye Andree. No virtual saucepans for you, it's the real deal!

3:31 am

May I ask what is JC's profession?

3:32 am

google Julian Clary Christine

3:33 am

okay, will do later on. Still trying to get past 160 words. I was doing OK, until I started to read the chog.

3:34 am

Ho ho, a biggie! G'd morning-ish Babblers!

3:35 am

LCL!!

3:35 am

morning Lori, feeling Christmassy already?

One thing about this grid, just add er and plural to everything. Seems so much nicer that way! Must be off for now, back later.

3:35 am

Good morning, Lori. Now, you've got more than 7000 points coming your way, I hope you're looking forward to the work ahead?

3:36 am

Bye Sally!

3:36 am

bye Sally

3:36 am

Am I reading correctly? Andree is cruel to bot beast and child, by adding no supper to her list of evils? :p

3:36 am

quite possibly, yep!

3:37 am

Bye Sally. Hazaurus, a big grid is perfect for me today, a welcome distraction.

3:37 am

*both, not bot

3:37 am

Oh good! There's nothing like a distraction to distract you from unwelcome distractions.

3:38 am

Oooh, and it's redundant redundancy day to. Yea!

3:38 am

Is that the theme? :D

3:39 am

Yes. And we have to avoid using the word 'challenge'.

3:39 am

which is very cha - difficult

3:40 am

I dare you to not say challenge.

3:40 am

I mean - the songwriter didn't pen the words 'Breaking up is challenging' - no, 'Breaking up is hard to do'.

3:40 am

***also wonders why***

3:42 am

It's a pet peeve of mine. It's used all the time, as a verb, a noun, an adjective and it's starting to become meaningless and an excuse not to look up a word with the same meaning and use it instead.

3:42 am

Are you unanimous in that sentiment?

3:43 am

Journalists and politicians and policy writers love it.

3:43 am

and news readers

3:43 am

uh oh, I think I have accidently hit on a sore point

3:43 am

Completely unanimous and diplomatic with it.

3:45 am

Maybe it's a UK thing, lynxxx? I'm not getting at you, being all diplomatic and all, but it's getting to be as widespread as 'I was like and he was like'.

3:45 am

aussies are too busy talking about sheilas and barbies

3:45 am

So far we haven't had journalists reporting conversations with politicians in those terms ''I was like - what are you going to do about the economy and he was like 'it's challenging'

3:46 am

no, we use the word here a lot too, although I wouldn't say excessively

good morning.

3:46 am

bet Mandelson has said it!

3:46 am

And I'll tell you something else. Tony Blair has got his teeth fixed.

3:46 am

hi Red

3:46 am

Good morning red.

3:46 am

Mornin' red

3:47 am

hi red!

3:48 am

I heard a really funny joke about Gordon Brown yesterday. Can I copy it in here, it's quite long, but not toooooo long

3:48 am

The phrase I've come to despise is "at the end of the day". It's so overused, it makes me want to scream.

3:48 am

On you go. Have you proofread it for the c word?

3:49 am

At the end of the day it's only an expression, Lori.

3:49 am

Hi all - how about "that being said"?

3:49 am

At last Gordon Brown decided to throw the towel in and resign. His cabinet colleagues decided it would be a worthy gesture to name a railway locomotive after him. So a senior civil servant went from Whitehall to the National Railway Museum at York , to investigate the possibilities. "We have a number of locomotives at the NRM without names" the Director told the top civil servant. "Mostly freight locomotives though." "Oh dear, that's not very fitting for a prime minister" said the civil servant. "How about that big green one, over there?" he said, pointing to number 4472. "That's already got a name" said the director. "It's called 'Flying Scotsman'." "Oh. Couldn't it be renamed?" asked the civil servant. "This is a national museum after all, funded by the taxpayer." "I suppose it might be considered," said the director. "After all, the LNER renamed a number of their locomotives after directors of the company, and even renamed one of them Dwight D Eisenhower." "That's excellent", said the civil servant, "So that's settled then .. let's look at renaming 4472. But how much will it cost? We can't spend too much, given the expenses scandal!" Well, said the director, "We could always just paint out the 'F'."

3:49 am

hi Di

3:49 am

Aiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !

3:49 am

Whaat about sports reporters who use STRAIGHT for CONSECUTIVE? Or offers for training that takes only n9 short months ... every February, for nine years?

3:50 am

Hello, Dianne.

3:50 am

ok, maybe it was quite long lol

3:50 am

ok,son and wife gone, hubby home,with a migraine. so he's tucked up in bed.

3:50 am

ROFL -

3:50 am

Good one, Ata!

3:50 am

Very clever

3:50 am

I loved that

3:50 am

wb Rose

3:50 am

lololol Ata. Nice one.

3:51 am

Mornin' Dianne, rose

man this grid, all we need is either an ISm or and ing ending to have a 700jillion word grid.

3:51 am

in case ther of those who are here, who weren't here earlier, the ne4 for today is, I'M GONNA BE A GRANNY AGAIN!!!!

3:51 am

With that being said, at the end of the day I challenge you to come up with a funnier joke.... :)

3:51 am

Oh! When's the happy event?

3:52 am

Hooray!!! what great news Rose

good news Granny!

3:52 am

Congratulations granny

3:52 am

Okay, I'm off ... erm, off the board, I mean. Time for a cuppa, and finish my Michael Connolly book.

3:52 am

she's about 7 weeks now, so about april 2010, we think

3:52 am

Bye Christine, enjoy!

3:52 am

Later Christine.

3:52 am

bye Chris

3:52 am

Oh, good news, Grannyrose.

3:53 am

Oh, good news, Grannyrose.

3:53 am

* cheshire grin *

3:54 am

There's no way that Ata can be any smugger than a new granny to be.

3:55 am

lol,haz, you got that right

3:55 am

Ata is utterly smug at having a spaniel instead of children!

3:55 am

Oh, but there's a glow that comes off new grannies to be.

3:56 am

ata, both adorable, but not interchangeable, i'm thinking

3:57 am

btw, point count for this grid is 7020

3:58 am

I'm hoping the points will start to stack up nicely when I start finding longer words.

3:58 am

haz, PB!

3:59 am

haz, lots of words with z and w ,either beginning or in them

3:59 am

No, PB is suspended for grids of more that 390 words. I've just decided.

4:00 am

get thee in there and start making cheesecakes for us all!

4:00 am

arthrodesis isn't in the grid today again. Some day...

4:00 am

ouch, haz, don't remind me!!!!!

4:01 am

It would be gruel and water in the PB if I had my way.

4:01 am

I know, granny, but wouldn't it be fantastic if it was in the grid some day? I'd beat you for smugness.

4:01 am

arthrodire / arthrodires would be good too

4:02 am

* giggle *

4:03 am

Zenith! I want it, but at the end of the day it would seem I cannot. ***le sigh***

4:04 am

i'm still in this b..... wheelchair for another 3 weeks, and i hate, hate, hate the camwalker.

4:04 am

When all's said and done, it was a noble ambition, Lori.

4:04 am

what a challenging time for you, lori

4:04 am

At least I gave it 110%.

4:05 am

I give every grid at least 200%

4:05 am

If not more.

4:06 am

A good peeve, Lori.

4:06 am

: )

4:06 am

anyone stuck, and ne4 help?

4:07 am

yes please granny

4:07 am

Psychiatric help possibly, but word wise, so far so good granny. :)

4:07 am

gort, how?

4:07 am

there's a herd of mystifying se's after the us politicians - any clues pls?

4:08 am

spanish word for mister and missus?

4:08 am

after the american politicians, but before the spanish grownups

4:09 am

spanish words can have an h in them

4:09 am

Portuguese mister and missus, too

4:09 am

oh, right, br. i stand corrected.

4:09 am

The grid is obviously terribly cosmopolitan today.

4:09 am

Good morning, BabbleRabble.

4:10 am

thanks granny, also for the international edumacation

4:10 am

hello, Haz

4:10 am

hi Gort & BabRab

4:10 am

hey lun

4:10 am

lyn

4:10 am

also be6 , like the shakesperean poem, but change the first vowel

4:11 am

the 14 line verse would be there but for an e

4:11 am

* se6 *

4:11 am

hello, lyn

4:11 am

can't spell, can't speak spanish, don't know portugese, and can't see straight!

4:11 am

Call those excuses, gort?

4:11 am

houston we have a problem

4:11 am

its a challenge

4:11 am

lol haz

4:12 am

still have some red sky in Aussieland, lyn?

4:12 am

Gort obviously isn't giving 110%.

4:12 am

she's Australian, will that work?

4:12 am

did our duststorm make it to international news?

4:12 am

Okay, we'll accept the Australian excuse. It's late and all that.

4:12 am

apparently it's settled, according to mrp. but the dust is in everything and everywhere

4:13 am

Not in my part of the world BabRab, Andree & MRP might have a problem still though

4:13 am

it's not settled here - storm blew to queensland (1500kms north of sydney)

4:13 am

Dust? I'm sure LoriP just wishes she could step on a plane and help.

4:13 am

Gort - are you in NSW or Qld?

4:13 am

lol, haz

4:14 am

qld

4:14 am

She could sell copies of her Good Housekeeping book and made a profit out of the trip.

4:14 am

good grief, gort.

4:14 am

i like the sound of this woman - travelling the world and giving it a good scrub

4:14 am

I think all of Central Australia blew onto Sydney today Haz

4:14 am

At the end of the day haz, I'd have to say you're not even close.

4:15 am

Yes, Lori is world famous for her cleaning.

4:15 am

8 groan * lori

4:15 am

it woudl certainly be a challenge for her

4:15 am

aaarrrggghhh, ata.......

4:15 am

I'm a legend in the cleaning world. Generations to come willl speak of me.

4:16 am

back again

4:16 am

gort, how are those se words coming along?

4:16 am

wb Andree

4:16 am

wb Andree

4:17 am

i got stuck again after the portugese people - the 5, 6 and 7

4:17 am

'So, LoriP, why have you come to Australia?' 'Well, I saw the news and I was like WOW, those people need me 110%. So, at the end of the day, i was like, WOW, I need to get there and give my all.'

4:17 am

hey, andree, the babrab was asking anout the dust storm.

4:17 am

feel like a tiny child placing it's sticky, linguistic hand into granny's kindly one and being led to learning

4:17 am

There's no i in team, that's my cleaning motto.

4:17 am

as soon as i got home from work via the hairdresser for a much needed haircut out came the hose, everything was inch deep in red dust , i hosed house windows cars, outdoor furniture, my poor veg garden looked derelict

4:18 am

extra lol haz

4:18 am

did you get the clue re poems?

4:18 am

lolol gort. Baby steps....

4:18 am

Oh, Andree! That sounds awful.

4:18 am

oh no sorry granny i didn't

4:18 am

oh sorry granny, yes i did

4:19 am

That sounds like just another day in my house Andree.

4:19 am

the house needs a good clean but that must wait, or maybe lori could pop over

4:19 am

ok, shakesperean poems, change the first vowel

4:19 am

at least you haven't got your pup yet - cream puppy + red dust = challenging

4:19 am

i did get it thanks granny, just a bit late, got a lotta dust on the brain

4:20 am

Call me thick, but I jus don't see what the problem is.......

4:20 am

right then, we are up to after the se mister and missus without the h, right?

4:20 am

does this red dust get adventuresome on a regular basis?

4:20 am

it was quite disgusting to be driving about, every car was filthy and knowing mine looked like that too, would have gone to the car wash but the line was a mile long

4:21 am

almost, granny, need the 5 and the 7 on either side of the almost-poem

4:21 am

ist time in 70 years babble

4:21 am

i have never seen it before

4:22 am

What you need are trained elephants to hoover up the dust and blow it back where it came from. I don't deny there might be a problem with their(ahem) droppings, but it's a very ecologically friendly way of coping with the crisis. You have many elephants in AUstralia?

4:22 am

se5, an aperient, se7, plurals the almost poem

4:22 am

Not very common BabRab. They are comparing this one to one that happened over Melbourne about 25 years ago

4:22 am

actually, humble ol' qld had one 6 years ago, a few roos got asthma and that was about it

4:22 am

as mrp said if we had known we would have taped up the windows and doors, i left my bathroom window open, big mistake

4:22 am

never seen red dust like it...when we woke this morn it was like a fireball....tankfully it has settled in our area....g/kids walked to school with towels wrapped around their heads so only their eyes peeped out

4:23 am

we have an elephant car wash ...

4:23 am

an aperient, you say...hmmm....

4:23 am

that does not sound pleasant

4:23 am

Back shortly...

4:23 am

a herbal aperient

4:24 am

**gortmold too embarrassed to let granny see her googling herbal aperient**

4:25 am

se +2 x single hump letter+ first vowel

4:26 am

and just like that, the se's are done

4:26 am

thank you granny, you've been v patient

4:26 am

whoot, gort

4:27 am

yw gort,

4:27 am

i think we both need a stiff whiskey now, eh granny?

4:27 am

and the moral of the story is that words are only difficult to find if you can't find them

4:28 am

talking about elephants, i don't know if it reached international years but about 3 years ago we got some from thailand and there was the biggest whoha from various animal lovers etc, they have the most beautiful enclosure and are so happy and 2 months ago a baby was born, he is so cute

4:28 am

don't just stand there, woman......get out of my way

4:28 am

i should know better than to stand between a granny and her whiskey

4:29 am

So true, BabbleRabble ... some time ago I read a book who's blurb read 'This book will appeal to people who like this type of book'

4:30 am

just doesn't get any better than that, Christine and good day

4:31 am

Eeeeew - neighbour's cat just drank my tea ... gotta amke more. ttfn

4:31 am

! make more !

4:37 am

clue for the ae pls?

4:37 am

ahhhh, that's better.* lies back, bourbon in one hand, ciggy in the other* peel me a grape, please, de4

4:37 am

lol granny

4:37 am

ae + sit down to a meal

4:37 am

would you like me to suck the seeds out too?

4:38 am

uummmm, no de4, can do that for myself, thanx

4:38 am

n eg

4:38 am

can i massage your bunions in return for that ae?

4:39 am

* indignantly* i haven't got any of those, thank-you very much

4:40 am

but there's a sore spot just over the right shoulder....

4:40 am

yes, as soon as the words left my fingers, i regretted them **gorty apologises for heinous assumption of bunions**

4:40 am

Gorty also decides to start own church: Blessed Boggler of the Heinous Assumption of Bunions

4:41 am

rofl

4:41 am

lol gort

4:45 am

did i mention that the left ankle could do with a gentle massage, and the fourth finger on the right hand, and, oh,there's an itch on the lower back, just to the left

4:45 am

ooh crikey, you'll have to give me a clue for the de9 and 8 to get all that

4:46 am

de9, plural form of where head of universities dwell

4:46 am

what a hilarious word, wonder if they actually exist

4:46 am

offers to message granny's ankle with a post maul

4:47 am

de8, de + trig function + not the old testament

4:48 am

gee, thanx br, you're so nice to me

4:48 am

wow, granny, with scripture knowledge like that, you could be altargirl for the CHurch of the Heinous Assumption

4:49 am

thanks heaps

4:49 am

yeah, right...i'd like to see that. only if they wear red or purple.

4:50 am

they do, we have adopted the sacred frocks of the the Super People - you can wear your wonderwoman cape

4:51 am

i myself prefer to keep it casual with jeans and an enormous ruby encrusted sceptre

4:51 am

oh goodie, * wonders about the jocks *

4:52 am

extreme LOL, granny, stop wondering and start wearing

4:52 am

inside or outside the pantyhose, do you think?

4:53 am

ooh, now you've put me on the spot...inside the pantyhose i think, you can never have enough hose in church

4:53 am

ROFL!!!!!

4:54 am

wonderwoman, definitly outside the panthose

4:54 am

gee, thanx, andree. you first

4:54 am

uh oh, andree, we may now have our first church schizm

4:55 am

they do tend to occur over crucial issues such as internal or external sporting of hose

4:56 am

omg, laughing too much, going for inhaler

4:56 am

hand me my excommunication tongs

4:59 am

r u ok, granny?

5:00 am

5:06 am

5:07 am

ahhhh, got it, must be deutsch for "i spy with my little eye"

5:07 am

LOL

5:10 am

i dunno about you granny, but i'm exhausted from the laughter and the linguistic wrestling match i'm having with this grid

5:10 am

5:47 am

nearing the end Scrabbs

5:47 am

Yes, and I am ready to leave the office but not the wonderful families

5:48 am

most of them will come with you tho, yes?

5:48 am

I have given many mothers my e-mail address to stay in touch or to have questions answered

5:49 am

My new office is 32 miles away from current one, so it is not convenient for many to follow me

5:49 am

well, that is good. I am sure most will contact you

5:50 am

I am stunned at how many mothers have started crying when I have told them that I am leaving

5:50 am

I imagine that it's a comfort thing - you have been good with them, and they trust you.

chocolate pudding http://tinyurl.com/knha2n is in the penalty box

5:50 am

It is affirming to me that I am doing a good job

5:50 am

but not surprising Scrabbs from what you've been telling us over the past while

5:51 am

ty fern - and good morning

5:51 am

Hi herin

morning. And Dr Scrabbler that is because you are awesome

5:52 am

But see, I practice medicine the way I feel it should be done so I don't feel like I am doing anything out of the ordinary. Their reaction shows me that they do trust me and see me as a friend

5:53 am

that is good scrabs - the way it should be

I think on the last day in your office they say paging Dr Awesome

5:56 am

There are lots of good docs in the world

Mine went away :(

You need to look at Synaptics Pointing Devices or similar to fix the speed. It would be something similar than that. It looks like a square and two under buttons

Hello everyone

7:18 am

hi peri

7:18 am

7:18 am

You're welcome, sue.

7:19 am

working on a's still

7:20 am

I have the ga9, clues for the other 9s plz

Red you didn't miss much. I have actually broken the sound on my first Harry Potter Dvd

7:20 am

es7/28 - e plus a slightly misspelled word that means calm. not easily disturbed. Change one vowel

7:20 am

thanks Haz, great clue

7:20 am

thanks Haz

7:20 am

Or es plus what you put on the end of tang for a citrus fruit.

7:21 am

clue for the ga9 pls

7:21 am

And plural, of course.

7:21 am

ga9 - those who kill by a particular method of strangulation.

7:22 am

thanks Haz

7:22 am

You're welcome, peri.

7:22 am

ta9 - places where leather is cured.

7:23 am

thanks again Haz for the ta9

7:23 am

de9 - places where church officials live/university heads.

7:23 am

ty hax

7:23 am

That's all the 9s I have so far.

7:23 am

thanks!

7:23 am

ta haz

7:24 am

working on the de9 now, thanks Haz

7:24 am

You're welcome!

THanks Haz. I had no idea that the de 9 was a word.

7:24 am

for the de, that is

7:24 am

phone

7:25 am

You're welcome, red.

7:26 am

I need more on the de9

7:26 am

the word is in my head, but I cant catch it

7:27 am

First find the head of the university/church official, then add the ending used in wi8 to denote places where wi4 is made.

7:28 am

de 9 the places where you go to shop for late movie star james de**

7:28 am

got the de9 thanks

7:28 am

if you replaced the d with a b it would be the place you'd go for food that toots

7:29 am

NO WAY

7:29 am

*runs in quickly* Hobbit is off to a Proper Groomer in a minute!

7:29 am

that a word

Well, I am half way, things are starting to get a bit more difficult.

7:29 am

it sounds like where the make de***

7:29 am

Thank goodness for that, Ata.

7:30 am

At last she will know the benefit of an expert at work. And she'll smell wonderful, as well.

7:31 am

our vets have started a grooming service - it's wonderful, really. 2 of the vet nurses do it, and they do anal glands and everything, so actually I'll get a full groom for about £5 cos the rest gets balanced out by the lack of needing a separate bum squeezing appt

7:31 am

Replace the d with an s and you'd have places for Mr Connery fans to hang out.

7:31 am

lol

7:31 am

That's quite a bargain, Ata!

7:32 am

and thx for the w8 also

7:32 am

tis! and Hobbit already knows the nurses who do it, so that's good

7:33 am

She'll emerge a fragrant beauty.

that is great Ata, I need to take Teulu in...not sure why i am resisting.

7:34 am

she will. I shall take photos for evidence :)

7:34 am

And then compare to the husband's effort. See if he can spot the difference.

Darn it I thought orange was in the grid!

7:35 am

he'll say his was better, I'm sure

7:36 am

I suck, I cant find the first an word

7:36 am

He'll be able to tell the difference because motorists won't cause accidents by swerving in shock at a clipped spaniel and passers-by won't hoot with laughter.

7:36 am

I get Dixies nails done

7:36 am

I an do everything else, but I hate the nails

7:38 am

loooooooool yes

7:38 am

Right, must get some lunch. Back later for the continuation of the search.

7:39 am

bye dear!

7:42 am

7:47 am

an+vowel+what you plant in the ground for a flower

7:47 am

FReddie is such a love!

7:48 am

sorry... don't have it yet, Sue

7:49 am

OH the poor little guy

7:51 am

7:52 am

7:53 am

7:54 am

de8---de + one of the seven deadly + do NOT ***er

7:54 am

I know .... and I adore Freddie, he's a wonderful cat, I'm going to get some old towels and an old duvet and make him a shelter

7:54 am

Ata..you are good

awww

7:55 am

I just wish I could persuade his stupid owner to let him use the catflap rather than lock him out each day!

7:55 am

NM found it on morewords

What about access to the laudry at night closed door or would Silly be grumpy?

7:56 am

he, is, however a *very* outdoor cat. He doesn't like to be inside much. We've got a porch I can leave open for him

7:56 am

8:12 am

Ta :)

8:12 am

This time we are going to The Jewish Museum on 92nd St. and Fifth Avenue...artifacts going back 4,000 years, manuscripts, paintings and a great cafeteria

8:13 am

It is housed in a old mansion which I believe is a landmark.

Interesting Annie

Yah I can't remember my passwords at all today

8:16 am

herin, sounds like me re: passwords

8:16 am

I wonder where crossy is

8:17 am

How facinating Annie, has been ages since I had the time to meander around anything of interest outside of a supermarket and I would call that interesting!

8:17 am

*wouldn't

Everything is connected that is the problem

8:18 am

I love the cloisters, Annie... I have never been to the Jewish museum.

I am suprised you haven't heard my torrets about forgetting these damn passwords

8:18 am

And it has actually been some time since I have been to The Cloisters, now that I think about it..

8:18 am

Oh The Cloisters are wonderful...first visit to The Jewish Museum for me

8:19 am

Ack have to go, phone is demanding my attention. Back in a bit.

8:19 am

Later {{FM}}

8:19 am

I know that I was thinking about going recently and discovered that they were not open that day, don't remember which day it was (Sunday or Monday, I believe).

8:20 am

back. Hobbit deposited at groomers

8:20 am

I also remember really liking the Folk Museum in NYC.

8:20 am

Probably Monday...most museums are closed on Monday.

8:20 am

Yes. I think that was it. They were all closed.

8:20 am

Folk Museum? Must google that. Sounds like a future visit for me.

8:21 am

Have you been to The Brooklyn Museum? I have not, but hear it is worth the trip.

8:21 am

Welcome back, Ata

8:21 am

Yes... it is the American Museum of Folk Art or something like that... related to the Met in some way, I believe... I remember the Grandma Moses paintings and the textiles, though it had to have been 25 years ago.

8:22 am

mom, The Brooklyn Museum is worth a trip. I live in Brooklyn so I have been there many times

8:22 am

I believe it is on Museum Mile.

8:22 am

Good morning, educated peoples of the world!

8:22 am

Oh, ok... then you would be the one to listen to, LOL.

8:22 am

Morning Judi

8:22 am

Hi Judi!!

8:23 am

*puts Folk Museum on the list of places to visit*

8:23 am

I think I will put it on my list also... as it has been some time... we have done the Met and Natural History a number of times... more interesting for my daughter.

8:24 am

mom, The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens are very close to the museum right across the parking lot. That is certainly worth a visit. The gardens are very beautiful.

8:24 am

Though she is less and less interested in these things of late ... 13 is a tough age.

8:25 am

I have been to the Bronx Botanical Gardens... by the zoo...

8:25 am

The bronx gardens are gorgeous.

8:25 am

good morning

8:25 am

hi harp

8:25 am

I was going to truck all the way to Philly this summer as they had an exhibit on tattoo art at some little museum... got a great review in NYTimes... but she was not interested enough to warrant that trip, LOL.

8:26 am

13 is a tough age..

8:26 am

If I leave abruptly.... it is not personal... waiting for a friend to pick me up, as we have a meeting at the school....

8:27 am

how is the grid?

8:27 am

LOL, not personal at all, I am going to truck into the kitchen to clean up...be back later

8:27 am

Yeah... she's a good kid, by and large... it's just the whole la-de-da attitude that I could live without... I swear even if it was something that she really wanted to do she would think it was lame if suggested by her mother, LOL.

8:28 am

hi all

8:28 am

But I would rather win the big battles... she can have the skirmishes!

8:28 am

mom, She'll be back in a couple of years

8:28 am

hi jmc

8:28 am

well of course, mom! lol

8:28 am

No, no, Mom. It's not la-de-da. It's "What. Ev.Er."

8:37 am

Peace and Love vs. Fire and Brimstone. Interesting.

8:37 am

8:37 am

8:38 am

es5/10 - almost the Biblical Queen.

is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "warrior's shield". Also possibly "shield's son" or a variant of Randolph. Used as first name mainly in the late Victorian era.

8:38 am

Wasn't it just, Judi?

8:40 am

Criminy. Down to 221 and still no boxes blacked out.

8:41 am

I have been fairly OCD about it

8:44 am

surely judi you greyed the far right i?

8:44 am

it would be annoying if you didn't ;-)

8:44 am

Okay. Now have one of the E boxes and the I box blacked out.

8:45 am

Yes JM?

8:46 am

I'm grand, thanks. What have you done that we can talk about?

8:47 am

We can always make something up if nothing strange has happened to you lately.

I wont be late he says Its nearly midnight. Thing I should hog the bed tonight

8:47 am

I know what we can talk about. Haz got se4 to the PB this morning!!

8:47 am

I spent three weeks changing my internet provider at the office

8:47 am

NO!!

8:47 am

That was entrapment, pure and simple.

8:48 am

looool as if

8:48 am

do tell!

8:48 am

with an 8 letter word no less!

8:48 am

geez haz!

8:48 am

Gasp!

Let's use apostrophes all wrong and stuff!! :D

8:48 am

First grannyrose announced that she was to be a granny again and then Ata manoeuvred me into saying plural grandmothers.

8:48 am

If that's not entrapment, I don't know what is.

8:49 am

lol!

8:49 am

sucker

8:49 am

But I'm wi4 to her tricks.

8:49 am

*gasp* LMAO was nothing to do with me!

8:49 am

8:50 am

You're not getting me talking about Mary Poppins, or scraped knees or anything like that.

8:50 am

LOL!

8:50 am

she's just embarrassed that I caught her out

I swear on the weekend I am going to get a burger and then go to the Lindt Cafe

8:50 am

like your icon ata!

8:50 am

Entrapment. I rest my case.

8:50 am

I did tell you about how peta celebrated the sexiest vegans in the U.S. military didn't I?

8:50 am

nooooo!

8:51 am

what wonderful use of people's money!

8:51 am

sounds good herin -- I take it you feel better?

mmmm People Eating Tasty Animals.

8:51 am

i must have been sleeping, i don't have any 8 letter words

8:51 am

This should be interesting.

No I don't feel too great but hey I want real cake.

8:51 am

Sexiest vegans in the military? There's a microscopic niche.

8:51 am

sometimes cake is just necessary

8:51 am

gr8/50 - plural mothers of mothers (affectionate term)

8:52 am

I was so livid I sent them an email to there emergency rescue line saying they needed to rescue the two legged animals in Iraq

8:52 am

GOOD! what an utter pile of poo

8:52 am

I bet the cooks in the military love cooking for them.

8:52 am

have you got a link?

8:52 am

On the other hand I was working with a Marine Vegan who was staying but protesting the war

JM what did they do?

8:53 am

he finanlly submitted a discharge application in which he wrote (I kid you not) "One day I realized--people are animals too!"

8:53 am

PETA? they se4 me a fund appeal of course! LOL

Let me guess they also want to rescue the cute fuzzy puppies they put down after service in Iraq (if they cant be um can't think of the word)

For what though JMc?

8:54 am

It was an ad in Army Times as I recall

8:54 am

that's 3 times PETA has annoyed me in the last week now!

8:54 am

they always annoy me!

8:54 am

ta9?

But what was teh fund for? sorry not following>

8:55 am

never mind, got it!

8:55 am

ta9 - where leather is cured or whatever the term is.

8:55 am

here: http://tinyurl.com/lovzej

8:55 am

Or beaches in Florida, I suppose would do for ta9.

8:55 am

they hold protests near one of the department stores here (anti-fur) and my son makes a point of walking by stroking a piece of (fake) fur

8:55 am

well yes, they always annoy me too lol, but they've annoyed me particularly in this last week!

8:55 am

a fund appeal is just asking for money herin

snort JM

8:56 am

lol haz

Dang the pair of you now I want steak

8:56 am

I was jumping up and down with anger for three days!

8:56 am

I always want a steak

8:57 am

Don't cha just want to put on a chicken suit and hang a sign around your neck that says "Eat Me" ?

Wow and these people wear leather boots

8:57 am

but jmc! it's a good cause! "The U.S. military has declared war on animals by burning, stabbing, and shooting them in unnecessary training exercises, and it's time to fight back! Animals need you to enlist in the army of animal lovers willing to speak out against these cruel exercises"

8:57 am

lol Judi!

My friend has one of the dogs the US uses in Iraq

8:58 am

actually at the Unitarians this Sunday one guy got up and made this big point how the military was necessary just like the people who eat meat never kill their own food!

8:58 am

and this says it all - one of the Sexiest Vegetarians: "Jane has since set sail on the Steve Irwin as part of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society." Sea Shepherd people are even worse than PETA

8:58 am

um, i think science, and the food industry, and the cosmetic industry could be MUCH nicer to animals. And no I am not a vegetarian.

8:59 am

I pointed out I had killed poultry but it did make the military necessary-- every one looked at me as though I said I had a second head

8:59 am

Ready to meet your match? Find your new best friend at pet breeder connection

8:59 am

lol trader

damn you all Now i want more food :D

9:00 am

there is a difference between not thinking people should be cruel and thinking that animals are more important than people

9:00 am

BBQ IN THE PENALTY BIN!!!

9:00 am

LMAO Judi

9:00 am

Last one in is a veggie burger!

9:00 am

whoo hoo I hope its ribs

9:01 am

Truthfully, so do I, herein. And, I don't eat beef or pork anymore. Just because they don't agree with my digestive system.

I love the organic free range pork but my dealer closed down

9:02 am

Help on en6,24 please?

9:02 am

I cook vegetarian all the time for my Quaker friends

9:02 am

9:03 am

Any fowl is fair game though. Ostrich is delish.

9:03 am

en6/24 - to cause to be very angry

9:03 am

All fowl is fair game???

9:04 am

9:04 am

Ostrich tastes very much like very lean beef.

9:04 am

i live right next to an emu ranch but I can't afford it

9:04 am

You're welcome, Erda.

9:04 am

so does emu -- I understand they are very similar except emu feathers

Plus its makes fun noises jmc. very fun noises, hopefully it will work.

*gets this very wrong mental image of Harp nicking an emu for dinner)

9:07 am

9:24 am

Hey Ata!!!

9:24 am

*poof*

9:24 am

fiiiiiiiiii!

9:24 am

you never know, hurshy!

9:24 am

Hello FM!

9:25 am

:) how are you, oh and yay Haz too :)

9:25 am

say, does anyone know what the plural of the hawaiian goose is, since we can't get it by adding an S?

9:25 am

scrabble accepts it with an s

9:25 am

Maybe it's like sheep, same word serving for singular and plural?

9:25 am

There is no plural for the goose, Hurshy.

9:25 am

interesting.

9:25 am

maybe it's one of those sing/pl words hursh?

9:26 am

oh wait, no, that's nide / nides. enable doesnt and scrabble ddoes

9:26 am

Hello, hello. And I'll be back as soon as I can, have been summoned to give my opinion on a paint colour.

9:26 am

ooooooops

9:26 am

I blame hurshy

9:26 am

Could there be only one Hawaiian goose, as in Loch Ness Monster?

9:27 am

It's something to think about.

9:27 am

Off you go Ata :)

9:27 am

you can't blame me, FMitch is right here

9:27 am

Let me know what you decide when I come back.

9:27 am

10:16 am

they have always had a good rep here, at least that is what I thought

10:16 am

Can anyone clue the ei7 please ;o)

10:17 am

hopefully then you have a nice lot who actually care for animals, rather than being pseudo-animal right terrorists

10:17 am

if I could, I would!

10:18 am

sorry norma, i don't have it!

10:18 am

an intoxicating beverage made from the last very ripe grapes picked close to winter time. A german name.

10:48 am

good heavens I thought it was the correct spelling for pork knuckles

10:49 am

I wouldn't drink it with pork knuckles...too sweet!

10:50 am

oh wow, ive never heard of that

10:51 am

I love it, if I could afford it I'd drink it after eating emu

10:51 am

10:54 am

Bitteshoen

10:55 am

schön, actually

10:56 am

I know but I can't type and I don't have an umlaut on my typewriter.

10:56 am

I used the ASCII code...

10:57 am

How do I get that?

10:57 am

the 2nd te7/28 plz

10:57 am

look in your symbols file in word

10:57 am

Alt + 148

10:57 am

tyvm

10:59 am

te7/38 - looks like the same structure as what Australians call their cans of beer.

11:00 am

I don't know any Australian lingo.....?

11:00 am

Or just slip an extra vowel in before the end of the racquets game.

11:01 am

It's what we used to call gym shoes in the 50's.

11:02 am

Over here they were called gutties, after gutta percha, I think it's what they were made from.

11:02 am

austrailians have such weird lingo when it comes to beer

11:03 am

How did they come upon that word for beer...because of how many ounces in a can?

11:04 am

anyone have de8?

11:04 am

It's the only one I know, I think. They call their cans tins.

11:05 am

de8 = de, a mathematical term running into the last letters of a canvas dwelling.

11:05 am

thankee haz!!

11:05 am

You're welcome!

11:06 am

thanx haz...but Im a musician and I don't know many math terms.

11:07 am

Try de, plus wrongdoing, then rearrange the number before eleven.

11:07 am

have you got ei7? looks like it probably uses the Z...

11:07 am

sweet late harvest reisling from Germany haursh

11:07 am

bother, i don't drink

11:08 am

frozen grapes

11:08 am

ei7/44 - ei plus what looks like the German word for pig, minus the ch. Or ei plus an anagram of the dreaded flu.

11:08 am

literally ice vino

11:08 am

oh, i miscounted, so W not Z! thanks!

11:09 am

No problem.

11:09 am

ty haz!

11:10 am

You're welcome, glad you got it.

11:11 am

That's because I have'nt had to much ei7 to drink yet.

11:12 am

it is nectar and very low in alcohol hurshy..

11:12 am

(very fattening though I might add)

11:13 am

but it's a very expensive way to gain weight!

11:13 am

too true

11:15 am

i ordered a lemonade in oxford. it had .05% alcohol, which i wasn't expecting. one sip, i said, ick, this has alcohol in it. my brother in law tasted it and asked if i had a superpower of detection.

11:17 am

haz, haz, the last 9 is an ne! i don't know what it is yet but perhaps you've got it while i was away

11:17 am

Yes, I have it.

11:18 am

oh goody, then you can give me a clue :)

11:18 am

First three letters are an anagram of the first number, add the word I clued about the Australian cans of beer, removing one of the double consonants.

11:19 am

Does that make sense?

Hi all. How many words in the puzzle today?

11:20 am

Or anagram of single number, number before eleven, add plural ending for a word that ends in y.

11:20 am

Worked for me, Haz. Thanks!:-)

Good!

hey Haz! how's ireland today? My mother said they really had good luck with the weather while they were there. AND they brought me the coolest little booklet on the Giant's Causeway!

11:31 am

what are u studying Stid?

11:31 am

nante

11:32 am

I was SO pleased that the weather was better over the past fortnight. It's still holding up quite well.

11:32 am

Master's in Teaching, aeb... starts officially on Tuesday but of course I am trying to do a bit of reading ahead; and there is an assignment for the first day of class already

11:32 am

that doesn't work, aeb! LOL

11:32 am

I know I've been to Nantes

11:32 am

glad to here that, Haz! I am sure the critters are pleased! -- Mother said there didn't appear to be as many pet dogs as we have here... they were surprised by that.

11:33 am

And there were SO MANY sheep! LOL and there were cows that looked like oreo cookies apparently, and the robins are teeny-tiny compared to the American robin. all sorts of interesting discoveries they made

11:34 am

Yes, lots and lots of sheep. And our robins are modest creatures. The oreo cookie cows are probably Belted Galloways.

11:35 am

It's one of the fun things about travel, finding all the little differences.

11:35 am

I will tell Mother and she can look that up for comparison (the cows). There is a herd of Limousine cows down in Oregon, so many different breeds.

11:35 am

If they were up in the Glens, some of the terrain is so hilly that only sheep can gr5 up there. (nearly in the pb again)

11:36 am

quick hello while my lunch cooks. blimey, big grid today!

11:36 am

their tour kept to the coastline, mostly. They got to the big Aran island, and spent some time in Dingle as well as visiting Dublin and Belfast.

11:37 am

hey trifioso!

11:37 am

Hello Trif - yes, value for money today.

11:37 am

*grin* "Eire" is in the grid today, as is "Erin" LOL

11:37 am

I imagine they saw a very different Belfast to the black and white images of the 60s and 70s. There have been huge changes.

11:38 am

I LOVED the Giant's Causeway, but the wind was blowing us sideways the day we visited, and my little glll was pretty frightened by it. I think she feared blowing off!

11:38 am

Every time I drive through it, I'm amazed at the new buildings. Someone who hadn't been in Belfast for 20 years would not know the place.

11:38 am

yes, they said there were a number of big improvements. but a little on edge they thought, still.

11:39 am

People have been washed off, Trif, it's treacherous.

11:39 am

yes, i believe it. I really did love it, though.

11:39 am

it was their first trip, Haz -- but I think it won't be the last. They so thoroughly enjoyed it -- and the people they met were very nice. Which we expected.

11:40 am

I am always so disappointed that Enable won't accept "Ents"

11:40 am

We're always delighted to see visitors.

11:40 am

Tolkien would approve of ents

11:41 am

HELP - I need 1 word so that I can go to be. Can anyone clue ei 7/44?

11:41 am

hey science! glad you showed up -- what grade science do/did you teach?

11:41 am

ei7/44 - ei plus an anagram of the piggy flu that's in the news.

11:42 am

oooh. cold vino! thanks Haz!

11:42 am

high school. i am here but on and off teaching inbetwen

11:42 am

No problem!

11:42 am

clue for last st 7 pls

11:42 am

TY so much Haz. Fireworks

11:43 am

Congratulations anike!

11:43 am

Well, I must head to the kitchen to get some food prepared. Happy babbling to all - it's a fun grid, Bye for now!

11:43 am

last st 7 pls

11:44 am

I have 100 left, but I have to get busy in the kitchen now. BBL.

11:44 am

st 7 - when you pack things away - you put it in st - alternative + era

11:44 am

nm got it

11:44 am

okay, advice on working with the young end of the spectrum please? better to expect and insist on compliance with procedure, or better to let them discover for themselves why to do something a particular way? (assuming it's not a dangerous thing) -- my sense is that they need to learn to follow directions before it's critical...

11:44 am

later Haz! have a lovely evening!!

Bye Haz

11:45 am

G'night all. Definitely bedtime for me.

11:45 am

hmmm. stid. I think you probably will have kids that will fall into both categories. Some kids will hear a logical explanation and see the logic involved and follow accordingly. And then some kids just need to pee on the electric fence, no matter how many times you tell them why they shouldn't.

11:45 am

sweet dreams anike ((hugs)) be well.

11:45 am

Thanks Stidmama

11:47 am

had some 8th graders yesterday who were very openly defiant, and others who were willing to learn. I was surprised to see the change in attitude from last year.

11:47 am

same kids, new year -- might be "top dog" syndrome (in which case I can let them know who's Alpha!) or just normal adolescent poopy-headedness...

11:48 am

Some of the defiant ones don't mean to be disrespectful, I really believe that! They just are more curious than disciplined - Will my coat REALLY catch on fire if I but it near the bunsen burner? Huh. Yes. What do you know.

See you all later. Major studying to do for test on Friday.

11:48 am

thanks tri, that makes sense.

11:49 am

bye queen!

11:49 am

good luck narnia -- take eyeball breaks regularly!

11:49 am

it doesn't necessarily make them less irritating

11:49 am

I keep trying to make "seize" work

11:50 am

I tried to remember that when I was teaching high school drama - the kids who always wanted to be front and center had a need to be there. I would try to let them, within reason.

oh this is ridiculous

11:50 am

and my five minutes were up 20 minutes ago. *sigh* okay. cracking the whip on myself is WAY harder than making kids buckle down!

11:50 am

*curious mama look* what is, TO?

11:50 am

amen to THAT stid!!!

392 words. see you tomorrow!

11:51 am

rofl... TO is smarter than I am! ((hugs))

11:51 am

7:05 pm

7:05 pm

Sorry people. I don't mean to be rude, just absorbed in grid and look up every now and again for more clues.

7:05 pm

yes- HUGE!

7:06 pm

ei7 please

7:06 pm

I am loving the sunny weather we are having even tho it is fall!

7:06 pm

that's not rude, bug, that's how you play the game, more power to ya

7:06 pm

Bugs- Jake saw the anger management person today

7:06 pm

I asked how it went and he said- sorry Mom- that is between me and her

7:07 pm

I am so glad. I do that a lot with kids. I give them 4 ways to deal with a situation when someone or something is annoying you.

7:07 pm

sorry bubba- do not have it

7:07 pm

bubba, it sounds like ice wine

7:07 pm

1. walk away - sometimes it is not worth fighting over

7:07 pm

hi everyone! how's it going?

7:07 pm

ibd!! hi!

7:07 pm

Hi Dawger

7:08 pm

2. ask for help - sometimes that just means standing near a teacher or adult

7:08 pm

ei 7 = ei + anagram of pig

7:08 pm

hi Jen, hi DR

7:08 pm

thanks, gortmold. that is a great clue

7:08 pm

3. talk about it - when you are calm go and talk to the person about what they want and how you want them to stop whatever it is.

7:09 pm

Thanks, what kind of word is that?

7:09 pm

HE always forgets walk away!

7:09 pm

yw

7:09 pm

ty Gort- got it

7:09 pm

my guess is it's german for 1 porcine problem

7:10 pm

no, actually it means, ice wine! had to look it up

it actually means "ice wine" -- a kind of wine made from grapes that are allowed to freeze on the vines -- very yummy dessert wine

7:10 pm

4. (the hardest for some kids) laugh about it - find a smart way to agree with them in a humourous way. ex. respone to "Your face looks funny" could be, "You should see my brother!"

7:10 pm

ice wine is cool too

7:10 pm

Thanks, that gave me fireworks

7:11 pm

walk away is the easiest. it takes the power away from the bully

7:11 pm

I like that one Bugs but true- probably the most difficult

7:11 pm

well done bub

7:11 pm

WTG Bubba

7:11 pm

whooooo hooooo bubba!!

7:12 pm

clues for any ne's between the wants the hawaiian geese pls?

7:13 pm

there are some non positive words there Gort

7:13 pm

for the ne's think of the opp of positive

ne+a "door" used in a fence

7:14 pm

She probably gave him some ideas like this but I give them slowly and often have to cue them for a long time (This might be a good time to walk away because it is just a computer that won't work and it won't work if you turn it off. You have way more power than it does)

7:14 pm

bbs- more homework questions

i live in queensland - top right corner of aus, in the drought-stricken rural bit

7:55 pm

gort - it does mean the same thing up here... as in the first words in grid in this case..^_^

Gort, I am just astounded by the whole water rights debate in that area and the farmers dilemmas. I found the article pretty scary.

7:56 pm

yeah, i don't know why we ozzies keep being shocked by drought - we live on the hottest, driest continent on earth, and we just can't get over it

7:56 pm

stiddie, would you care to share that e3t 8/9 combo? the only et i have is the volcano...please?

7:56 pm

8:30 pm

does every chog have to be happiness and light..thought it was for whatever is on mind?

No trader, but some things are not really worth talking about, it isn;t going to make me feel better to chog about it and it is just not good conversation.

11:05 pm

11:05 pm

right, sorry. take the s off the front of the pt.

11:06 pm

11:07 pm

there is is ga 9 that means people who strangle other people

11:07 pm

an 7/32 - if an 5/10 were a verb, add the past tense

11:08 pm

gosh not getting these clues at all. sorry. guess no nines for me tonight.

11:08 pm

another name for sneakers, without the ususal double consonant in the middle

11:08 pm

got an word. ty

11:08 pm

whew. tired.

11:09 pm

sorry mkg. I will try to be less obtuse.

I believe my last 20 are hiding

11:09 pm

144 left and this is no fun anymore - so good night all.

11:09 pm

doesnt work somehow.

11:09 pm

My last one doesn't exist in my grid.

11:09 pm

the word for new, how many letters? maybe that is the error.

11:09 pm

Nite buff

11:10 pm

the shoes are also the name of the game right? but minus double cons. right? and word for new is 3 letters, ne and vowel. right?

11:10 pm

it is a prefix for new. has 3 letters. Like new nazis are called ne* nazis.

11:11 pm

got that bugsaw. now the shoes must be the issue. are they name of the game minus dbl cons? if so not working.

11:11 pm

Yes ne + vowel + an extra vowel at the end of the game to make a plural ending

11:12 pm

we need Babble Rabble . He gives the best clues ever.

11:13 pm

still no luck bugsaw. new is 3 letters, then name of game with one cons. in middle, then another vowel at end of game? huh?

11:13 pm

prefix for new + a number + what the ending is on a word that ends in Y when you make it plural

11:13 pm

game ends in s.

11:13 pm

got it and the word. ty.

11:13 pm

game ends in is. add a vowel inbetween

11:14 pm

what were the other 9s clued? i dont recall.

11:14 pm

HURRAY. I am so sorry that I am a lousy cluer

11:14 pm

oh right, what do eagles live in that is 5 letters please?

11:15 pm

what eagles live in without the A on the front

11:15 pm

but i thought they lived in ne**s! so confused. dont know the word

11:16 pm

if you go to the reverse dictionary or google Eagle NE** you will get another word that starts with ae

11:16 pm

the shoes rhyme with "cents"

11:17 pm

Hi Kate. Perhaps you can help mkg better than I can. How are you doing?

11:17 pm

ty

11:17 pm

re 7/36, re 8/55 combo follows 'leases' please?

Thank you Lickety for saving my sanity

11:18 pm

still 74, won't finish...very difficult, list not helping much

11:18 pm

mkg that ending (eagles ne** without the first a) is also the ending to a ta 9 word

11:18 pm

I have given up with one left. Wnat me to try to clue some for ou?

11:19 pm

another spelling for fairies...change first letter..olde faSHIONED SP...

11:19 pm

yes...

11:19 pm

there are some families that will cut time ..1 sec

11:20 pm

cant get the ta 9 either. have the 6 before and 7 after

Kate work one letter at a time. What i do is look at the list and see if there is plurals I have missed

11:20 pm

st 7, combo before the twinkler in sky?

11:20 pm

did pl herin...am missing entire blocks... esp. in s's

11:21 pm

mkg the ta 9 is a place where that happens.

11:21 pm

st 7.8 combo

11:21 pm

just got it ty.

OK so what you do is you look at the list. Say you have DAG and DOG but are missing something in the middle. The possibility may be DIG

11:21 pm

now back to the nest for eagles

Think like a library binerry system

11:22 pm

also si 6/18, si 7/28 aqfter the transgressors?

11:22 pm

same 3 letters as the beginning of the twinklers + a number and its plural

11:22 pm

ty herin

11:23 pm

11:19 mkg

11:23 pm

faeries

That is how i do it. I think like a library book. Obviously you can't have Dog before Dig

11:23 pm

ty

11:23 pm

if i remove first letter there are 8. is it plural?

11:24 pm

got it. ty ty

11:24 pm

si 6/7 = si* like the ones you have + not brothers but sis***

OH and say you have um DODDLE then DODDLED and you need a 7 put in DODDLE- and it will give you that 7

11:26 pm
