6:04 am

6:04 am

yes scwabbs no problem,just a touch of insomnia

6:05 am

i dont drink coffee lynxx;))

6:06 am

i find as time goes on,the best sleep ill ever get is the power nap on the couch

6:06 am

hmmm (was just guessing) OK - warm milk before bed prescribed(yuk)

6:13 am

cr6.27 my dear Brazilian girlfriend always mistakenly referred to this body part as the crunch...leads to 3 8's

6:14 am

TY + LOL, Lynnnx

6:15 am

I have an Argentinian friend that went to buy linens (sh***s) for his bed and asked, "I want to buy a shit for my bed."

6:16 am

mmm Argentinian males...aren't they all gorgeous!

trying to stay sane tonight... how is everyone else doing?

6:17 am

He is about 15 yrs older--a doc I used to work with--and so handsome, charismatic--thick silvery-black hair...aaahhh

6:17 am

I want to go back to bed, mrp

I wanna go back to 12 years old scrabs

6:19 am

hi all. we have a giant grid today

6:19 am

Ah, yes, maybe 9-10, pre-puberty would be even better.

6:19 am

Hi Boobear

6:19 am

hi Boo

6:20 am

hi Lynxxx and Scrabb'

6:20 am

can we go back with what we know now?

6:21 am

Its good to have you here Mr.P. How is Lickety and his dad

6:22 am

Although what we know now is due to some tough life experiences

pre-bloody-anything would be good

6:22 am

BBL best get some dinner

hi boo!! long time no see!!

6:22 am

Bye Lynxxx

6:22 am

How can I be stuck with 199 to find?

sue, what I know now only saddens me, but make me happy too... so is confusing

would like to just go back to innocence

see ya lynxx, enjoy dinner

6:23 am

yes, but I would go to school and college

6:23 am

and not get so upset about things

6:23 am

and most of all, I would shut up and listen more

too right sue... I am just learning that

6:24 am

me too

6:24 am

of course my kids dont listen to me about it

I got an email today... took total offence to it... closed it... talked to people about it... got negative feedback... guess what????

6:25 am

?

it was not offensive, it was lovely, a reaching out. I ended up being really nice with my response.

6:26 am

Your opinion is still valid no matter what people say.

I have to go with my gut feeling more often

6:26 am

Oh, so you had to think about it?

too right scrabs

6:26 am

true, but I offer it too much

6:26 am

and without being asked

6:27 am

I must get ready for work now--make lunch, get dressed....bye all!

I did have to think about it, cause it was close to questioning my 'choices'

6:27 am

clue for ae 7 pls

6:27 am

Good Morning!

bye scrabs!

hi merk and boo

6:28 am

I just think if someone is spouting their oppinion I have the right to offer mine, but I am finding out it is not true

6:28 am

bye scrabbler

6:29 am

I hate ae's and I dont have but one, sorry.

sue, I get that

6:29 am

that was an opinion, I should say, no sorry dont have it

I got that today... but went the other way... pointed out all the positives instead

sue, I felt I was being criticised for my choices... so instead, I turned it around and made it all about self-empowerment

I then realised with the response that this person wanted me to empower her!! I could have screwed that up if I had been close-minded, but decided to share

6:34 am

I have been doing the same thing

6:34 am

it works, but still I offer it without being asked.

indeed, we are in heading into the stratosphere!

6:36 am

Im blessed that God is still working on me, even if it hurts at times

6:36 am

nice to know I am in His radar

ah, living in the ether... know that feeling

6:37 am

oh wow! i never got back to finish yesterday - can only wonder what will happen today. good morning all. :-)

7:31 am

ty sue

7:33 am

MrP, you need to do a food diary, list all ingredients and make a note, we were told that unless it is full blown anaphalaxix it can take up to 4 days for a rfeaction to occur, made it difficult

i think I might go to hospital and get opinion.... not at the friggin idiot hospital I went to when I stopped breathing.

7:33 am

that makes 2 cr 8 's - :-)

7:34 am

go mrp, have you taken something meantime?

7:38 am

hi mr P

7:38 am

:D

7:38 am

we just keep bashing away TLLC

or a seed

7:38 am

oh - that is a tough one leaf

7:38 am

TLLC - do you know about Lickety & Morewords?

7:38 am

OMG it is

7:39 am

even licorice has wheat :(

wheat allergy is not good!!

7:39 am

we never found out what my girls reacted to, but i think it was something in the water, since my eldest had a full blown anaphalaxic reaction in the bath at 4 am

7:39 am

you are kiddng me. that is terrible

7:39 am

no wha are they?

7:39 am

:O jacq

holy heck jacq

7:39 am

how truly awful Jacq!

7:39 am

oops, thanks too DR, missed your clue

7:39 am

but their allergies have abated jac

even marshmallows are wheatened

7:40 am

??

7:40 am

was terrifying, couldn't get her out and had to give epipen in the tub and then try to get her out mid panic attack

7:40 am

There is a link to Lickety's Babble Clues below. Morewords - just google for that

7:40 am

they have wolvie, oldest had only two last year and youngest had one

7:40 am

DR... you should change that icon to "There's no crying in Babble"... LOL.

7:40 am

my sister breaks out in hives when water touches her skin....... she had to bathe 8 hrs b4 prom ROFL

7:40 am

and so far this year only one each

7:40 am

well - that is good news

7:40 am

you are a meany, leaf. ;-)

7:40 am

lol Mom! I like that

7:41 am

leaf, i contacted the authorities and ddemanded a list of the water content etc at that time on that day and it was scary

7:41 am

LOL

7:41 am

Will do thanx

7:41 am

Awful, I would be terrified. You guys are terrific

7:41 am

i was terrified lynxxx, couldn't sleep because i was so scared they would have a reaction and i wouldn't hear them

7:42 am

Mr P find the common ingred in those foods .... maybe eliminate that from diet

7:42 am

yeah... that would be my fear jac

7:42 am

i bet jac

oh my jacq and leaf!!

7:42 am

it took a long time to get past that mom, even now i panic if they eat anything new

7:43 am

good idea jacq

7:43 am

are the e's in the top right corner "normal"? Am I just missing them? Or are they weirdos?

7:43 am

and it seems that what they have is genetic and hereditory, because my grand-daughters have both come out in hives about 3 times this year

7:43 am

mom - i don't have them either

7:43 am

I don't have those es yet

7:44 am

ok... then they must be weird!

7:44 am

sorry mom, haven't even looked at them

I might start eating just apple again... and adding to the diet as I go... pear, banana, carrot....

7:44 am

I'm a little like Felix Unger... I like to go in order, but I think I will skip them.

7:44 am

You can understand why desperate parents go and live out in the country and go back to all natural products and food

7:44 am

top right??

7:44 am

watch salicates, tomatoes peas etc, those are bad ones

7:44 am

whatever works best for you mrp

lynxx, my ex-boyfriend had to do that... he was so allergic

7:45 am

the ones in the top left are normal

7:45 am

indeed lynxx - i believe that processed food has caused the bulk of the problems

7:45 am

ec8.55 ec & go ** bed & a word for skin

7:45 am

mom, es---- when you want someone to accompany you to the party

7:45 am

When my daughter was little she had reflux... they were having me add rice cereal to her formula... then discovered she had a pectin allergy... so the rice cereal was making her worse.

7:45 am

es6, es5

7:45 am

lynxxx, we tried organic foods, we were £10 for a small chicken, and that was 15 years ago

7:45 am

thanks DR

pectin is used in a lot of foods

oh heck mom2

7:45 am

ouch mom, that must have been awful, reflux is scary

7:46 am

exclusion cooking takes all the fun out of cooking

7:46 am

yvw Mom

7:46 am

ty lynx and DR

7:46 am

Yup... she still has trouble with rice, apples in terms of digestion... and she is 13 now.

7:46 am

yw Wolvie

7:46 am

oh wow mom2

7:47 am

thanks DR, got the 3 e words

7:47 am

yw Flosey

7:47 am

Their first line of defense with reflux is to add the bulkiness of the pectin to help them keep down the food... in her case it was the worst thing, but we did not know that right off the bat. So, sometimes with these types of things you have to use trial and error.

7:48 am

Once we used oat to add the bulk she was fine.

7:48 am

scary tho mom2

7:48 am

that is good to know mom

7:48 am

yeah... she was one step away from an upper GI series at 4 months old... but something told me (and the doc, to his credit) to experiment some more.

7:49 am

A pectin intolerance is actually rare.

wow don't

7:50 am

last co4 pls

many folmulas use pectin also?

7:50 am

good instincts

7:51 am

Yes TO.... and the one they had her on in the end was $12 a can.... in the end the one we ended up using was the Carnation Good Start (the cheapest one of the bunch) because it had the least amount.

7:51 am

last co4 - at university, you stay in a d***

7:51 am

co4/6 is like the yellow veggie- just change the last letter

7:51 am

Through all of that though she was an incredibly good baby... happy all the time... hit her milestones, etc. God Bless Her.

7:52 am

i have 3 ce's - are there more?

7:52 am

Her mother, on the other hand, not so happy.... LOL

7:53 am

I am missing 5 c's over all

7:53 am

that's it wolvie, only 3

7:53 am

well mom2 - it worked out. :-)

7:53 am

7:53 am

Yup... now she is 13, like I said... some days I long for the infancy!

7:54 am

8:14 am

I think you should hear back quickly on that TO

the dentist is on vacation. i don't know this one. and you just beep, you do not leave a message

8:15 am

de5/14 - what Cinderella had to do to the fire in the morning.

8:15 am

Good morning/evening all.

8:16 am

good morning Haz

aha, haz is in lurk/stealth mode! you nearly startled me into typing it into the chat

8:16 am

You've caught me out!

8:18 am

need a clue for fl6 please?

8:19 am

fl6 - a single piece of broccoli.

8:20 am

thanks Haz

8:20 am

You're welcome.

lol i can't beleive no one put me in the pb. or that i missed those to words

8:22 am

We're feeling sorry for you. A bit much to break a to5 and be sent to the PB as well.

8:22 am

just monkeyed fo8, doesn't sound like good English

8:22 am

What a sweet looking grid. All innocent and innocuous.

well i have waited 22 in for a callback. time to find another dentist

8:23 am

Hello Uniquity! It's a fun grid - nice to see you!

hi uni!

8:23 am

Ugh, broken to5. Poor TempleOwl!

second dental incident in three weeks

8:24 am

Afternoon all Soo many words! Uni - only just read yr email (it got junked by my PC for some reason) ((()))

8:24 am

good luck TO, hope you're able to find one soon

8:24 am

I don't like dental incidents at all. Sounds ugly.

8:24 am

Good afternoon FM - no longer reeling from the size of the grid?

8:25 am

need coffee, brb

8:25 am

So sorry about Jake :( Hi TO, Haz, flosey.

8:25 am

Thanks, Fi. Jakey is going to be ceremonisouly interred at my Dad's this weekend with a few other long lost pets.

8:25 am

Look after your gnashers, Uni.

hi fm! who is jake?

8:25 am

this grid is hard today

8:26 am

Jake was my hammy. He passed away the other day at a year and a half. Spritely little guy, I put a very recent photo as my icon.

8:26 am

It is a bit of a shock to the system a grid of this size. Jake was Unis dear and handsome hammy.

aw, so sorry. is that long life for a hamster?

8:27 am

I think the reason yr email got junked uni was the fact the 2 great pics totalled 10mb :)

8:27 am

He had been looking like an "old man hamster" for a while (thinning hair) but he was so energentic I was still very surprised. They say two years is the life expectancy, so I guess he mostly hit old age.

i am dense this morning. i pictured uni with a freezer full of deceased small animals, batching them up for a trip home to the yard

8:28 am

Yeah. 10 megapixel camera photos take up a LOT of room. We actually got a camera just like that one yesterday and have photos of the silliest things. Lots of new Emma too :P

good morning Babblers :)

8:29 am

Hamsters don't live long, but sometimes people mistake their kind of hibernation mode for death. It pays to wait a day or two/try heating them up just to make sure. Not that I'm denying that Jake is really gone, you understand.

8:29 am

No, just the one dead guy in my freezer. We are burying hm in his pod (his little nest area) next to the cat I had from age 2 to 13 (my years, not hers).

Uni so sorry about Jakey

8:29 am

Good morning, Nono.

8:30 am

H'lo, y'all. Whopper grid today!

hi nono, hi judi

8:30 am

I had faint hopes of hibernation...not to be ghastly, but he was cold, stiff and eyes were open after a short bit. It's not a cruel joke.

8:30 am

Hi Nono and Judi

8:30 am

Poor Jake, but he had a happy hamster life.

8:31 am

Hello Judi.

8:31 am

Uni, so soory about your pet...I hope that you will feel better soon.

8:31 am

hello judi, jai and any others I may have missed while getting coffee

8:31 am

Hello jaianniah.

8:31 am

Sorry to hear about Jake, Uni.

8:32 am

He had a very rich hamster life, loaded with broccoli. We ate some in memorium that night :). Aside from my terrible cold, I am feeling better about jakey. Emma took up the rein and has cuddled me for days. Except this morning when she went nuts.

8:32 am

Thanks everyone. I was surprised at how sad i was since I always thought I was prepared for his short hammy life.

that

8:33 am

My daughter had a dear pet rat named Jenny, and she lived to be 7! I was surprised how I felt when she died!

8:34 am

Rats apparently have extraordinary life spans! I also heard of a significantly long lived pet rat.

8:34 am

clue for ec 8 pls

that' s interesting - when do they hibernate?

8:35 am

Jenny even had cancer, and had a operation that extended her life another two years...People thought we were crazy to pay for this operation, but you had to know Jenny to understand...She was like the rat in Abyss

8:35 am

ec8 - ec, add two letters being the opposite of from, last four letters are to do with skin.

8:35 am

Hamsters *can* hibernate whenever, but it is supposed to be related to temperature. They come from the desert originally and don't like things to be cold. They can hibernate when it gets colder, and the only real sign is a little heartbeat and slow breathing. I would have given quite a bit to hear a little heartbeat or breathing.

8:36 am

I'll bet!

aw uni, don't wish to make you sadder

8:36 am

Jai - how did you find about the cancer in the rat? I always wonder if they get vet visits or what. I also have heard that they are prone to tumours/cancer, maybe because of all the stesting over the years?

8:37 am

She grew a tumor on her shoulder, and we have a great vet clinic with one vet who specialized in the exotic animals- he was eager to try, so we gave it a go, and it paid off.

8:38 am

Not sadder. If my lungs worked properly right now, I'd feel pretty good. I am focusing on his cuteness as opposed to his death. Got a dentist yet, TO? :)

uni how did emma and jake get along?

8:38 am

Feel better, Uni!

8:39 am

Haha, Emma was very jealous even though he was here first. She would lunge at him occasionally while we had him out but then she got in trouble so she learned to glare at him from afar. There are even some shots of them being friendly.

8:39 am

There's a cute one of them eating ice cream together. They're both spoiled.

wow i would be afraid to try cat with a hammy

8:40 am

We have cats, and they learned pretty fast what happened if they messed with our other pets- we had rabbit, guniea pigs, and dwarf hamsters besides Jenny the rat

amazing. uni you must put that pic up some time

8:41 am

While we are chatting, does anyone need clues?

8:42 am

I'll try to find it and throw it up later on. I am not sure if it is on my computer or the beau's.

what do the 10's start with?

8:43 am

sc nono

hmm it seems i mus tput in my number to the beeper to get a call back. i hope i did it right

8:43 am

scr

wasted half an hour and the opther dentist cannot take me

thank you flosey

8:44 am

yw nono,

8:45 am

I have to go, but I want to say that you babble people are the dearest folks in the world! I would miss you all if Babble went away!

8:45 am

take care, Jai

8:46 am

Don't even raise the possibility, jaianniah. We need to be able to sleep at night.

*breaks out in cold sweat*

8:46 am

I would wish you good dental luck, TO but I am afraid to give any away. We need a surplus of dental luck to draw from.

bye bye Jai

8:46 am

LOL Haz

8:46 am

Yes, good luck, TO.

8:46 am

have a great day jai

8:46 am

LOL bai bai *poof

8:47 am

See? Broken to5 and now the sweats. Poor TO is in a terrible state.

oh, no, i would be a black hole sucking up all of your dental luck. don't give it a thought.

8:47 am

That stinks TO

8:47 am

Are you in pain?

yes, sweating at the thought of no bable, not that i am addicted or anything.

8:47 am

She will be sc7/40ing soon at this rate!

8:47 am

No, nor am I.

8:48 am

or sc6/24ing

yes it is sore

8:48 am

Because generally if you have pain they will make a spot for you.

resh

8:49 am

Just as well we're being all forgiving, otherwise TO would be permanently in the PB.

8:49 am

If you sc7/40 down the phone about your pain, maybe they'd sit up and take notice.

8:49 am

lol

mom: my dentist is away. his backup is ou of the offce and has not returend my emergency call. another detnist i used said they are booked and have another emergency to squeeze in.

8:50 am

Hi zooz

8:50 am

Aha! Found the pics on the other computer. I thought i had lost them all. I will be off for a bit, transferring a tonne of photos. See you all later, and take CARE TO! :)

8:50 am

Bye Uni!

Well, hopefully the back-up dentist will call you back.

8:50 am

hi zooz

8:51 am

Is there no end to the s words?

have been waiting 25 min. it is her day off too

8:51 am

that's the worst part!

8:52 am

The s words take up a lot of space, don't they?

8:52 am

I hate when my days off go awry.

8:52 am

I finished the bottom, but have almost 20 left with the top one.

the do Haz.... lots of big words too

8:53 am

Yes Haz they are definately not scr10/98 up at all.

8:54 am

Just looked up the meaning, strange word(s).

8:54 am

I hadn't seen them before either.

8:54 am

*hangs head as I used a third letter*

8:55 am

It reminds me of the word Mapp (from E F Benson's novels) used - scriggle, being a combination of squeeze and wriggle, used when a fat lady is trying to get past an obstacle.

8:55 am

(getting wet sponges ready for FM)

8:55 am

LOL

8:56 am

clue for ae 7 pls

10:52 am

hi Annie!

10:52 am

Bye suefrad.

10:53 am

Hello Annie, nice to see you.

10:53 am

Hows Hobbit today, is she better? Hi Annie!!

10:53 am

Hazel, the mail went out yesterday and the postman said 8-10 days for delivery

10:53 am

Ata, How is Hobbit's eyes?

10:53 am

I will keep my eyes peeled for it, thanks, Annnie.

10:55 am

much better :) eye back to normal. poor girl, she looked so awful yesterday!

10:55 am

LOL and we believe the postal system!

10:55 am

FM! I am at their mercy

10:56 am

Annie it has just taken 7 days for a letter to get to me from 30 miles away - I bet your mail turns up toute suite!

10:56 am

as it is international post.

10:57 am

as it said " par avion" I am sure it will. *fingers, eyes and toes crossed*

10:57 am

But not all at the same time....

10:58 am

I am very talented that way, Haz

10:58 am

that would make it really hard to babble :)

10:58 am

Otherwise you'd be a squinty creature making slow progress down the street.

10:58 am

LOL

10:58 am

or maybe Annie has more hidden talents apart from being the flying nun?

10:59 am

I'm sure she has. We haven't sent you on a reconnaissance mission for a while, Annie, you'll be getting out of the habit.

11:00 am

I haven't hovered in quite a while. I wonder where Luc went. Is he Haz's cupboard with George?

11:00 am

perhaps she will be delivering the post personally *grin*

11:00 am

in*

11:00 am

I think he's been spotted recently, Annie although sadly he doesn't chat as much as he used to. I miss that fedora and of course he'll be starting to dig snow soon.

11:01 am

If Annie was getting out of the habit - would that preculde her from being the flying nun?

11:02 am

I wondered who would pick up on that point!

11:02 am

If I spot Luc I will keep him in my radar. I am still in the habit literally.

11:02 am

:)

11:03 am

This is a pleasant grid so far.

11:03 am

of course he is always sat next to carlee in the PB for posterity.

11:04 am

Do I still have egg on my face?

11:04 am

I'm in my rightful position in the PB, right next to George.

11:05 am

Haz, As you should be.

11:05 am

it is a nice little grid except for the ae 7

11:05 am

Its a good grid and am amazed by the lack of re's!

11:05 am

ruru!

11:06 am

Grab one (ae7) and become a grafitti artist.

11:06 am

11:11 am

thank you..

11:11 am

got it finally.. by thinking about it

11:12 am

(of course after aerotool didn't work)..lol

11:12 am

Thinking? That's dangerous, some people avoid it at all costs.

11:12 am

thinking - what ever next?!

11:13 am

(sits in chair in Rodin pose)

11:13 am

and of course we now hve to send you to the PB ruru.

back!

11:13 am

Sans or with to5?

11:13 am

Don't tell me you people have been thinking again!

11:14 am

Hello, all!

11:14 am

Some of them have been thinking, VI, but not me.

11:14 am

LOL ruru TO are you sorted, so to speak? Vi! :)

hmmmwould it be avec to5? you are my french tutor

11:15 am

Avec is with, you're right.

who says babble is not educational?

11:15 am

Way to stand strong for your principles, Haz.

11:16 am

Babble is extremely educational - I had no idea I could learn so much about people's medical ailments! ;)

11:16 am

I don't know, but they're wrong. I've learned a lot here, but I don't think, never have.

11:16 am

Back in a mo

i am eating a parfait with crunchy granola as we speak

lol@vi

11:16 am

Was this on dentist's orders, TO?

11:17 am

I'm timing that mo, FM, so make it short!

11:17 am

medical ailments and children ;)

no. on stomach's orders.

hey ata hari

11:17 am

And pets' medical ailments!

11:17 am

You must have great confidence in his work. No novocaine needed?

11:18 am

And pets, don't forget pets, we know all about them now.

a litlle. fast acting. nearly gone

11:18 am

oh yes, we do

11:19 am

Dentist? Novacaine? I trust whatever it was, the granola indicates that it's all fixed now, TO?

11:19 am

I'm impressed, TO. Husband had some fillings last week and whatever was used on him stayed around for quite some time. He was worried that he might have to miss a meal.

on hte people are stupid front for today, watching judge jeanine piro. quote: "when i was pregnant with our first child, he threw a car seat at my stomach." what';s wrong with this picture? :/

11:20 am

oh my!

11:21 am

She bore him a second child?

11:21 am

Oh so many things, TO. =(

11:21 am

Back, told client that Vicuna was timing me and I couldnt speak right now ;)

11:21 am

"Our first child? She stayed around for another child?

ANNIE WINS!

11:22 am

That's the way to tell them, FM.

11:22 am

I'm so glad you've got your priorities straight, FM! Welcome back.

11:22 am

I believe Haz came in first

11:22 am

% minutes. Not too bad.

who do those clients think they are? this is a 354 word grid! :D

11:22 am

5, I mean.

11:22 am

100% of 5 minutes.

11:22 am

I PROTEST! I queried the bearing of the second child at 11.21. Can we have a recount?

the commerical is on now.

11:23 am

WHo knows if they stopped at 2? More could be involved!

i'd bet on that

11:23 am

Don't expect an accurate recount in this country

11:23 am

Don't expect an accurate recount in this country

11:23 am

But hey, at least we know they had a car seat, so that's good news.

vi. always the optimist.

11:24 am

I am repeating myself, sorry.

ooh wait

11:24 am

they could have been twins that issued into the world some time apart fromeach other, thus bearing a second child would have been important

11:24 am

But it was maybe a full car seat rather than a baby one. Think of that.

it has been established she went back with him after coming out of abused woman's shelter

11:25 am

DIdja hear about the woman who had twins-ish babies 4 weeks apart or some medical anomaly?

11:25 am

And it was 'a' car seat, not necessarily their own. He could have stolen it to throw at her.

11:25 am

That's really just so sad, TO. And it happens way too often.

each time they think it's the last time. hope srpings eternal.

11:27 am

4 weeks! wow!

11:27 am

Actual, I don't think they'd settle for it unless despair sprang eternal, too.

this case is too ridiculous. i'm switching to qvc

11:28 am

Yeah, because QVC isn't ridiculous? XP

11:28 am

It's ghastly. And the pattern seems to repeat itself.

ooh handcrafted paper bead necklaces

11:28 am

I'm amazed at the people who work on the shopping channels, their enthusiasm for every product is gripping.

kind of like quilling

11:28 am

Yes I read about that Vi, she had concieved but didn't show as pregnant due to endometriosis and cocieved again. I think it is more like 3 months apart not 4 weeks.

11:29 am

But I can only be gripped for about five minutes at a time and then I start to lose the will to live.

11:29 am

now *that's* desperation, switching to QVC!

sorry. it'sjust that i have no husband, children or pets to regale you with

11:29 am

Ah, you're probably right, FM. Numbers are generally my weak point.

;)

11:30 am

I don't have digital or cable so am blissfully not aware of all the other rubbish channels.

11:30 am

You've got a to5 to talk about! We haven't heard the details yet.

oh ty haz, i do have medical, iwas beginning to feel like a total loser :P

11:30 am

Neither do I TO but you did have te5 things to share today (())

11:31 am

At any rate, an interesting linguistic issue - are they or are they not "twins"?

11:31 am

if they weren't created from the same egg, they aren't twins

11:31 am

We need somebody to define twins. If only there were someone here who knew about twins.

she smooth it created a little ledge then bonded it.

11:31 am

techincally yes they are as they were born at the same time - all be it by cecerian.

11:32 am

TO, did she shine a blue light on it? A bit like the CSI light but more powerful?

11:32 am

ack sp went out the window there.

i agree with ata. i haven't a bit of medical knowledge but that never stopeed me from commenting before

11:32 am

(FM's going for the typo prize today)

11:32 am

Then my kids aren't twins either, Ata! lol

11:33 am

O.O!

11:33 am

We've established that thinking is very last year, TO. So is knowing anything about what you're commenting on.

now atching giada cook.

11:33 am

Watching? Hatching? Matching?

11:34 am

There must be plenty of twins who were conceived days apart, maybe even weeks, but you never know it as long as they're both there by the time the first ultrasound shows something.

11:34 am

Scratching?

like doing yesterday's grid, haz!

11:34 am

Just wanted to remind you of my non improved banbble skills thats all :)

11:34 am

(Only "identical" twins come from same egg.)

thatching

11:34 am

patching?

11:35 am

I am a twin to a brother

11:35 am

catching?

11:35 am

patching

11:35 am

Dispatching?

11:35 am

duh true *sleepy*

11:35 am

batching?

11:35 am

Dispatching - when the quilt just won't go right and you rip it up.

11:35 am

Mine are boy/girl, too, suefrad. But you wouldn't believe (or maybe you would!) how many people asked me if they were identical when they were babies.

11:36 am

or catching?

latching

11:36 am

And were they?

11:36 am

Identical, I mean?

11:36 am

oh good one TO, am running out of rhyming words now.

11:36 am

kaffee klatsching?

11:36 am

Swatching - when you take little colour samples with you to choose co5 for decorating.

11:36 am

snatching?

11:37 am

all the time, it amazes me

11:37 am

attaching?

vi lawyas has tohave the last word

11:37 am

Strangely enough, no, Haz! lol

11:37 am

fo7/40

11:37 am

fo7/56

ty i did not have that word

11:37 am

that does not count Vi!

11:37 am

We need to work out the longest word with atching in it. Whoever gets it wins.

11:37 am

I don't know what they win, but glory and esteem is involved.

i am sure br will find it

11:38 am

Howdy, folks!

11:38 am

11:38 am

Hello, Takuma and Aloy!

11:38 am

Crisscrosshatching - for the x o fanatics.

11:39 am

Way to jump right into the spirit of things, Aloy!

11:39 am

Anticrisscrosshatching?

11:39 am

I only have the lo5 you use to fish with

11:39 am

well, once again, I see that Babble has broiled our brains

11:40 am

lo5/10 - looks like a women's name at the beginning of the public game of chance.

11:40 am

whalewatching!

11:40 am

lo5/10 - like a nickname from the other end of Char

are you referring to miss lenya?

11:40 am

Dang I can see i was too slow on the wordsearch there! Hi Aloy!!!!

*humming mack the knife*

11:40 am

hee hee, c'mon, FMitch!

11:40 am

And another good one from Ata! To which I can, of course, only reply: antiwhalewatching! lol

11:41 am

Good to see you

11:41 am

when the shark bites..oh when the shark bites

11:41 am

fo7\56?

11:41 am

Exactly, TO! But I won't hum with you because Haz will be mean to me.

11:41 am

Ooops -- short stint for me. Gotta run. Good luck, all!

well then you must sing

11:41 am

crosswhalewatching - when you don't see any whales

11:41 am

11:41 am

You know it's for the greater good, VI.

11:41 am

redispatching

11:41 am

crisscrosswhalewatching

11:41 am

Or when the whales didn't want to be watched.

11:41 am

can you believe it? phone.. brb

gee i took the day off to be productive. iwas very productive for the dentist, she took cash onlyh

11:42 am

They are in their bath, after all. Quite rude to watch them, when you think about it.

11:42 am

LOL Dorens, bound to make us feel sea sick

11:42 am

Is that when your eyes go in all directions trying to be the first to spot one?

11:42 am

Hello, Dorens!

11:42 am

I think Dorens is in the lead.

11:42 am

angry whales?

11:42 am

ANd hello, Deeha. Man, people are popping out like crazy!

11:42 am

ANTIcrisscrosswhalewatching! So there!

11:42 am

hi all-with a grid like this I needed to sneak in a few words during lunch.

11:43 am

Vi's tactics seem to be to add anti to the beginning of everything. Don'tthink I haven't noticed the negativity. Do you have issues?

11:43 am

oh who could possibly be against watching embroidering whales?

11:43 am

cant resist a word challenge!!

11:43 am

ANti-issues.

11:43 am

consecutivecrisscrosswhalewatching - The new olympic sport.

11:43 am

I could imagine whales being opposed to embroidering whales

11:44 am

True, Dorens. It does sound fascinating.

11:44 am

along with parallelwhalewatching

11:44 am

thansk , Acommon German name

11:44 am

Synchronisedcrisscrosswhalewatching - done with a smile!

11:44 am

do you have to have a humpback to participate in that sport?

11:44 am

megaconsecutivecrisscrosswhalewatching ?

11:44 am

I am laughing too much I will never get this thing finished

well they removed everytruly american sport not that i am bitter or anything

11:44 am

LOL Vicuna!

11:44 am

fo7/56 anyone?

11:44 am

ah well, takuma. i DID mean whales who embroider.

11:44 am

I dont like you Vi

11:45 am

I'll need to pull myself together as well, Dorens. Daughter is giving me funny looks.

11:45 am

clue for the last lo 5/10

11:45 am

???? 0.0

11:45 am

oh! I thought you meant stitching designs onto whales

11:45 am

I think they should remove all american sports you have to give the rerst of the world a chance to win an occasional medal!!

11:45 am

lo5/10 - Miss Lenya of Mack the Knife fame!

11:45 am

figured as much.. now that would have the PETA people screaming at me

hye ia ctually ofund a word! *does happy dance*

11:46 am

Whales doing embroidery of whales in Wales would be very impressive.

see i am laughing so i cannot type

11:46 am

Time for me to go. Have fun with the atching. I needed the laughs!

11:46 am

llanfairwhalewatching

11:46 am

While wearing fine0wale corduroy?

11:46 am

bye, Haz.. hagd!

whales watching whales dong emborider on whales

11:46 am

Aww, bye, Haz!

11:46 am

and screaming, vic?

11:46 am

if you could see that I am sure it would be a fluke

11:46 am

I mean, wailing?

11:47 am

Byeeee Haz!

11:47 am

nice spelling TO!!

11:47 am

don't think I want to watch a whale dong

bye haz! *wipes tears from eyes*

11:47 am

what's emborider? :D

11:47 am

you are a very funny bunch. - bye haz

11:47 am

that would be a whale of a breach of ettiquette

11:47 am

screaming? Certainly not. We've already established that there is no cruelty to whales or wales in this sport. But I guess there may occasionally be a little wailing.

11:47 am

I thonk TO has had drugs at the dentist

11:47 am

oh wow, thought that was FM, not TO! ;P

11:47 am

Listen you lot I have to go out soon and you are making my mascara run

they would surely bee cross then

11:48 am

I thonk so too FM

11:48 am

I have to genuinely go now, too -- these puns are making my stomach hurt

11:48 am

We apologise Deeha :) *passes make up pad*

11:48 am

IS your mascara running? Better go catch it! Ha ha ha.

11:48 am

Pepto Bismol, Takuma.. (-:

deeha knows we don't think here. so she thonk/

11:49 am

see.. those who inflict the pain at least offer up remedies

11:49 am

Poor Takuma. Are they krilling you?

11:49 am

now THAT would be a great olympic sport mascara running

11:49 am

ROFL

11:49 am

yes, who would be the runner up

11:49 am

I'm floundering. *poof*

11:50 am

I'd surely win that I was heavily influenced by Dusty Springfield in my youth

11:50 am

He didn't think our jokes were finny. =(

11:50 am

The powder puffed but the lip liner won

11:50 am

who didn't vicuna?

11:50 am

Takuma.

11:51 am

*peeks in* is it safe to come in?

11:52 am

Safe? Maybe you'd better define that a little, feather!

11:52 am

hi featherbee!

11:52 am

We are all too weak to stop you feather

11:52 am

feather!!!

11:52 am

Yeah, Deeha, but goodness knows she's weak as a feather herself.

11:52 am

dare i ask what started all the whaleishness?

11:52 am

and we can't see you for the running mascara

11:52 am

Rhymes with -atching, Dorens.

11:53 am

Minke started it

11:53 am

I mean, feather.

11:53 am

me??? blaming me????

*raises hand sheepishly* i did . typo.

11:53 am

11:53 am

oh, ok. that's better then..

11:53 am

lol, ahh, TO fesses up

11:53 am

and now we start with sheep? what is with owl and the animals today?

11:54 am

wait i typo all the time - HAZ STARTED IT!

11:54 am

Oh, well, too lazy for silliness? There's no remedy for that!

11:54 am

why not blame fm??

11:54 am

Ah in which case you have missed out on much wit and .... um babbleness.

11:54 am

isn't everything FM's fault anyway?

11:54 am

True enough, Dorens. It's The Thing To Do.

of course. it's all fm's fault.

11:55 am

absolutely

11:55 am

oh thank you Dorens!

11:55 am

Shame on you, FM! Now clean up this silliness right now.

11:55 am

12:05 pm

Oh. lol

12:05 pm

12:05 pm

lol, true story related to ec8: my brother, in elem. school.. poked the girl in the seat in front of her, whispered, "Psst, your ec8 is showing".. she turned around, bopped him on the head with a book, and he was kicked out of class!

12:05 pm

12:06 pm

true, Dorens!

12:07 pm

my dear bro was in trouble a lot for goofy reasons

12:08 pm

and did he end up scarred for life, or a whopping success?

12:08 pm

Or just normal?

12:09 pm

the truth.. he is VERY successful ! The only one of the kids without a college degree.. and the one with the most $$$$$ (-:

12:09 pm

often boys who are in trouble for goofy reasons are bright and bored, and playing games with the authorities for fun

12:10 pm

I hope he sends you nice presents on your birthday, then! =)

12:10 pm

am so proud of him.. he is a contractor, and after the hurricanes, went around helping people.. for free.. he said they cried with happiness and gave him lots of hugs, more than a just reward

12:10 pm

a real mensch! terrific story

12:11 pm

sounds like a great guy aloy. :-)

1:27 pm

it's a really useful to** to use, many organisation maps their data on it

ok ok maybe that was a bit of a stretch

2:44 pm

I try never to give anything to anyone's ears -- ears are very personal

2:45 pm

i thought for sure the 10 would come from the hwl

howl that is

2:46 pm

2:47 pm

take the sc 5/7/7 combo and add another letter at the beginning

going to see what Oprah has to say, bbs

3:00 pm

oh over half way yeahhhhh

3:03 pm

I wish!

3:03 pm

hi TLLC. How did you find Lickety?

3:05 pm

It makes it a lot easier when you know the second letter and how long the word is! Only 249 to go!!!!

3:05 pm

Thanx for the link!

3:06 pm

Did you see the Bulk Add feature at the bottom of Lickety - excellent to**.

3:07 pm

Yeah ~I like that it was mach easier when ~I found that as opposed to putting them over individually!

3:09 pm

If you continue to play you may care to email Lickety and ask for a copy of his Babble Expert...puts everything on one screen with LOTS of great features. No cost, easy to instal

3:12 pm

I was reading about that on the page I might just do that, would be alot easier than flicking back and forth

3:12 pm

of which i am using now :-), hello all

3:12 pm

hi Zooz!

3:13 pm

how are you Lynxxx

3:13 pm

i have expert but i don;t know what everybody means by all on one page, i just have babble on mine

3:14 pm

good! and you? like your icon

3:14 pm

i have buttons up top but they don't do anything

3:15 pm

That's wrong Jacq. Have you clicked on the yellow dotted bar on the left, that should open up the clue list

3:15 pm

it doesn't do anything

3:16 pm

Can you hold down on the bar and move it to the right?

3:16 pm

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

3:16 pm

i have a list

3:17 pm

Yay!

3:17 pm

gives lynxxx a years worth of choclit

3:17 pm

LOL, yay glad you got it up Jacq, well done Lynxxx

3:17 pm

lol i have been using expert for weeks and weeks and wondered why everybody raved about it lol

3:17 pm

The buttons up the top should be able to be used if the words are in black rather than grey

3:17 pm

ty lynxxx

3:18 pm

Ohh i like expert

3:18 pm

can i hide the list too the same way?

3:18 pm

:-)

3:18 pm

yes i can

3:18 pm

lololol

3:18 pm

yes you can

3:19 pm

Double click on the yellow bar hides it (I think)

3:19 pm

single click does it, am not ready to list yet, still need 136

3:20 pm

The Lickety Add Button is great - cause it populates both Lickety and Babble - just move it around to the position you like it in

3:22 pm

ohhh will have to play, but not when bones is on and booth lookes so hot

3:22 pm

lol..better go enjoy that Jacq

3:23 pm

hi back again what is the lickety add button and how can I get it?

3:23 pm

You need Babble Expert Mary, you will need to email Lickety...see his clue page

3:25 pm

Evidently I'm not a Babble Expert? I do have the tile stats at the bottom and fireworks when finished but not an expert?

3:26 pm

Babble Expert is software written by Lickety - quite seperate from Babble

3:26 pm

expert doesn't mean to say youre an expert at babble lol

3:26 pm

it's another prog from lickety

3:27 pm

so all i do is email Lickety and she will email me back with download info?

3:27 pm

He will do that

3:27 pm

it might tke a couple of days but yes

3:27 pm

and it's easy to instal

3:27 pm

Oh, she is a he lol

3:29 pm

I think I'm the only person in the world not to use it LOL

3:30 pm

ce5/12 I am stuck could I have a hint please?

3:30 pm

3:31 pm

Oh how stupid am I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:31 pm

3:31 pm

Thanx

3:31 pm

However - Morewords, that's another story

3:31 pm

don't use that either. I'm masochistic

3:32 pm

wow - I'll say!

3:32 pm

makes me feel useless..LOL....i never used to use morewords, but i do all the time when listing

3:32 pm

and I like to support Haz - she needs those kickbacks

3:32 pm

LOL

3:33 pm

lol oh yes

3:36 pm

I only use morewords for lexulous

3:36 pm

And I try not to list until the bitter end

3:36 pm

which comes sooner for me than for others! lol

3:36 pm

3:40 pm

okie-doke

3:43 pm

hi all

3:44 pm

Atalante, I still don't have expert. I just go back and forth beween the lickety list and babble, when I list.

3:44 pm

me too :D

3:45 pm

Thats how I do it too nrkii and ata HI all

3:45 pm

hi mamawa

3:45 pm

I still need 5 more before I can let myself list

3:45 pm

nrkii, how do you go back & forth? when I bring up Lickety list it erases the Babble. can someone clue me in?

3:46 pm

I right click and choose "open in a new window"

3:46 pm

t y will try

3:46 pm

I have mine in different firefox tabs

3:46 pm

then I shrink the lickety list so it's only just wide enough to see the list, and I put it next to the babble screen

3:46 pm

hi nrkii

3:46 pm

I have two tabs open and load one in each

3:46 pm

I go to list and then back to babble so they are both open and just minimize back and fort

3:46 pm

forth

3:46 pm

ah, Ata, that would make me dizzy... I need them side by side

3:47 pm

I like the separate window so that both can be up at the same time

3:47 pm

ata uses lickety very lightly! ;-)

3:47 pm

it makes the list part go much faster

3:47 pm

175 done and 179 to go : ) going back in

3:47 pm

speaking of which... 35 to go and time to list!

3:47 pm

hi

3:47 pm

hi sue

3:48 pm

I dont use list often because I dont have that much time, just dont finish alot LOL

3:48 pm

usually lol jmc! I do have my moments though ...

3:48 pm

I use it for the last 10% usually

3:48 pm

otherwise I lose patience if I try to get past that point

3:51 pm

but you also lose patience with the list before that sort of stage!

3:51 pm

I've lost my patience. Has anyone se4 it?

annie, got a question for you. there's a conference i'm considering attending in brooklyn in november. it starts at 9am, and i live near binghamton. according to mapquest, it's 3 1/2 hours away. is it reasonable to assume if i leave at 5, i'd be there in time? are there any traffic pitfalls?

5:31 pm

oh, and it's on a saturday, that's important probably!

5:31 pm

shoot. too late.

5:32 pm

no Im still here

5:33 pm

feather, you should make it in 3/12 hours but I would give myself more time (just in case) with new york city traffic even on saturday. where is the conference or am I being nosy?

5:35 pm

Are they providing parking?

5:36 pm

yup

5:36 pm

i had that when i had dialup, too. i did every grid backwards just in case.

6:49 pm

well, this is supposedly "middle" high speed.. hmph

the f words are unusaully slow for me

6:50 pm

sometimes it seems slower than when I had dialup!

6:50 pm

thanks aloy, but i still need 10. i won't put the chog through that i may ask for one or two if i get frustrated.

6:51 pm

Wooo, I just passed halfway! I noticed the "tch" combo and that led to many words!

6:52 pm

7:12 pm

7:12 pm

7:12 pm

this is taking forever when I usually find the big ones full of words

7:13 pm

See, I can define my own levels. We all can.

7:13 pm

Bugs.. I missed a lot of "er" ending words

7:13 pm

7:20 pm

7:20 pm

Sorry welki, but we are still wearing Tshirts on the coast. Fall only comes with the frost at night. We are loving it!!

7:20 pm

the winds are wicked, lb ... put your chairs inside (and anything else that could blow around)

i am down to 46 and will rejoin shortly with list in hand

7:21 pm

we're wearing t-shirts too, bug .. but only in the house :)

7:21 pm

LOL

7:21 pm

it hit the low 80s here today.

7:21 pm

oh good idea about the chairs. will remind hubby about them

7:22 pm

i just got the list owl. you got to 46 without??? you're a better man than I, gunga din!

7:22 pm

I think I might start whining soon when the clouds get locked in the mountains. Please remind me of good we had it for so much longer than anywhere else.

7:22 pm

we've had about 10 days of fall. it's tragic cuz the trees haven't turned nor have they dropped their leaves

7:22 pm

i'm bummed. had the rv packed, the pontoons on the trailer, went and got a bunch of new flies, dogs were going to "camp," and then this stupid weather :(

7:22 pm

sad omdeed

7:22 pm

we had such a short summer, no fall to speak of ... blech!

7:23 pm

when do you expect fall to hit your area, seain?

7:23 pm

bummer, welki.

7:23 pm

hmmm. om is supposed to be in.. as in INdeed

7:23 pm

well, the dogwoods are red and dropping leaves. Maples are just starting to change. We'll turn off the AC usually around th 25th or 20th of Oct

7:23 pm

then heat from near Halloween or so into March

7:24 pm

and i had this agreement with a huge brown trout in beauvais lake :)

7:24 pm

dc, glad to hear Tom is recouperating so well. :)

7:24 pm

Veterans day is when we usually do our last big yard raking.

7:24 pm

i heard they don't always keep their word welki also glad to hear that tom is doing well, seain

7:25 pm

we don't even need AC in the summer but the last mowing of the lawn in usually in early November

7:25 pm

we may be raking leaves off snow, if this keeps up. but the weather liars say that we should be back to "normal" next week. yeah, right.

7:25 pm

AC here mid-may to mid-oct at least. And a week or so in January most years.

7:26 pm

Is it because of the heat or the humidity? I lived in NH one year and the humidity was much worse

7:27 pm

both, bugs

7:27 pm

New England is NOT humid at all. I lived in Boston. They don't know humid.

7:27 pm

Thanks. I like learning about more than words here

7:27 pm

sigh . . . how wonderful to not know humid . . .

7:28 pm

just once in a while.. you can get a heat wave in boston and it will be so humid and unbearable just in its drastic difference from normal

7:28 pm

i agree, unea. humid...that's for the bathroom after a hot shower!

7:28 pm

careful what you wish for. no humidity here in calgary and we turn into prunes ... i miss the humidity

7:29 pm

true dorens, i was there for a hot and humid like here in 2001. Still 20 degrees cooler than here, but yes, hot and humid that June :)

7:29 pm

(mind you, i remember those horrible days in nyc when people just seemed to slosh along the sidewalks)

7:29 pm

oh boston's humidity could never rival dc's that is true

7:29 pm

welki, the only time I experienced NO humidity was out west, in the Yosemite area -- 25% -- I slathered on massive amount of skin cream every nite!

7:29 pm

in 1999 my mom and i spent a week in NYC. We passed a couple afternoons in the rain forest exhibit at the central park zoo cause it was so dry.

7:30 pm

when i was stationed in DC, i opted for the night shifts so i wouldn't have to be out in the humidity.

7:30 pm

oh, I've been in NYC when it was VERY humid . . .

7:30 pm

Winters here as as dry as the summers are humid.

7:30 pm

there are always a few of those horrendous humid days in nyc. but yes, that summer was a particularly bad one seain, i do remember it

7:31 pm

august in las vegas... 109 degrees and totally tolerable cause NO humidity

7:31 pm

doren, when's your Monty Python adventure?

7:31 pm

never been to las vegas . . .

7:31 pm

this saturday une. am a bit disappointed.. originally i saw Hank Azaria's name associated with it... not now

7:32 pm

arizona in the summer, 120 in the shade, and it's so dry it hurts

7:32 pm

Vegas is very hot and very dry

7:32 pm

aaww, it'll still be great, doren

oy - I'm having a difficult time attending to babble for more than a couple minutes at a time

7:32 pm

so hot the 17 yr cicadas don't leave the tree trunks

7:32 pm

hey, takuma!

7:32 pm

hi takuma

7:32 pm

today's grid is like that takuma

7:32 pm

is that true, seain??

7:32 pm

wow

7:32 pm

i'm probably the only person who's been there and never bothered to even put a quarter iin a slot machine. avoided the lobbby llike the plague

I just realized I've had babble up for the last couple hours after intending to get back to the grid

7:33 pm

lost wages, middle of the desert, then add all the people, heat islands, and electricity...ugh

7:33 pm

dry winters are much better than the damp cold we get here on the coast.

7:33 pm

good for you, Dorens!

oh, dorens, I would take 109 and dry over 74 and humid *any* day

I'm a little behind on chat, heh

7:34 pm

i'm with you, takuma

7:34 pm

Me too Dorens! I just liked mooching around looking at all the decadence

7:34 pm

shows are good too

7:34 pm

absolutely. just don't put a chocolate bar in your pants pocket (i did that when i was 12... walked from the motel lobby to our room and it was pure liquid goo)

7:34 pm

how funny!

entertainingly, in the las vegas airport, all the seats point toward the middle of the waiting area, where there are concentric circles of slot machines

7:35 pm

eeeewwww, dorens

7:35 pm

When I was in Vegas in the summer I overheard people ordering cabs to take them a couple of blocks down the street. I thot it was ridiculous to be so lazy.

7:35 pm

i was back there again a few years ago... a friend was involved in a trade show. menswear. (she edits a retail magazine for the business) and She had the room, and all these parties to go to. I just hung out at the pool, read my book and gawked at the freaks. then met her in the evenings for the parties.

7:35 pm

that's hilarious, takuma!

7:36 pm

Then I opened the door to go outside and nearly got knocked off my feet by the wall of heat.

a friend of mine here, just told me about leaving a crayon on the sidewalk, walking back inside, and finding it a puddle by the time she went back out to reclaim it

it was a hoot to see, une

7:36 pm

i wanted a taxi too!

7:36 pm

sure.. lucky she had it on the sidewalk instead of the pocket of her shorts!

7:37 pm

i so don't miss the misery of desert heat

it's even funnier because there are some of the best views from there I've ever experienced in an airport

7:38 pm

i hear that every step of the way in Vegas is engineered to entice gambling, gambling, and nothing but gambling

that was re the slot machine/airport story, not the crayon story

7:38 pm

absoluely une.. you canNOT get from your hotel room to any exit without walking through it

7:39 pm

the noise level, the sound of the bells, the clinking of coins, the lighting. it's all based on getting people in the mood for spending!

I reckon that's part of the reason it's fun to go to the old casinos there, built when they weren't so good at enticing casino design

7:39 pm

ch 5/16 kids? just got done with work

7:39 pm

or to the pool, or a restaurant... the casino must be entered. nd it is so pathetic.. even at 8 in the morning

7:39 pm

9:52 pm

hmmm...

Bob's Boss?

9:52 pm

Try this for the 10s... sc**** (whisky word) but add a consonant after the 'sc' and double the middle vowel. That will give you sc8/55. The 10s are then the past tense and verb tense of that.

9:52 pm

10:13 pm

same again with a sh- pini

10:13 pm

D'you know, sometimes I feel like Brennan from 'Bones' on here. Especially last evening, watching no. 1 of the new deries when someone asked how she was feeeling after her arm had been stabbed. 'Well,' she said. 'I've been given strong painkillers and so I feel like a normal person right now.' I was th only one curling up laughing in the room at the time, but I bet my son would have joined me hadd he been around at the time.

10:13 pm

10:15 pm

musical inst........hmmm thinking

10:15 pm

Or o + what God cr**ted.

10:15 pm

if you are close to finishing, mkg, we can help you stay awake!

10:16 pm

Add another vowel to end for the oc6.

10:16 pm

10:16 pm

gosh dont know actor. i am ouot of it. sorry.

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

An oc 5/12 word is o + "and God ****ted women" mkg.

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

got oc words.

10:18 pm

he's wonderful

10:18 pm

just looked him him up on IMDB. Never heard of him, never seen a film he's associated wth.

10:19 pm

Thing was, after Brennan had her arm stabbed we saw it supposedly the day after without a mark on it. In every other scene after that (in which she was wearing short-sleeved tops) she attempted to cover it. Did the film company making the series not have the money to stick a bandage on it, or do the makesup for stitches, bruise and swollen skin?

10:19 pm

not even V for vendetta?

10:20 pm

seain, you didn't see The Crying Game??

bye jen. sleep well.

10:45 pm

white scruncy snow is great, if you don't have to get or be somewhere. Dirty slushy snw is nasty. And, if you're an Ice Road Trucker, go for it!

10:45 pm

those sc 8 55 and 10s are hopeless. cant get them.

10:46 pm

10:46 pm

Oh well, mkg, I've clued them,. If you can't get 'em it's not the end of the world for either of us; there are more important things to think about. Babble's only a game.

Good luck with the weather and the benefit, Une

10:50 pm

10:52 pm

However, I did sugest a particular show on a particular date I would attend, in our private correspondence and you didn't pick up on it and offeer a wave from the stage or a backstage pass, which still leads me to wonder, JC, if you were for real. ANyone can take pics of the net and assume an identity, when all's said and done.

10:52 pm

11:02 pm

need tr 5 clue please.

11:03 pm

We, me included, apreciate his efforts, but if they don't appear sometimes, we odld grid solvers like to watch people try to fire their brains up for a while before we list.

11:04 pm

oh no jac... if he didn't do babble clues, he would NEVER see me cause I would be glued to your bio for stats!

11:04 pm

11:07 pm

thanks for the tr!

11:07 pm

11:10 pm

Hasn't been nearly rainy enough, though. We need rain, and lots of it, soon.

11:10 pm

11:15 pm

Think Clint Eastwood in a poncho, in a spahetti Western, lighting one by striking a match on the heel of his boot.

11:15 pm

really cross??? you're going to be a teacher too?

11:15 pm

a gasp!..telemarketer selling vacation condos time shares!...lol@ teacher

11:16 pm

ewww cross. that IS totally disgustamundo!

11:16 pm

lol if i was t teacher id be making so much money i wouldnt care stid!!!!! lol jk

11:16 pm

The oe thing I have avoided all of my life is the thing my school trained me for - to be a teacher.

11:17 pm

well it was either that or a septic tank cleaner..the only difference being is how the crap is moved around;)

11:17 pm

well, when I become a fully-fledged teacher, I shall consider a vacation condo. But ONLY if you are the telemarketer....

11:17 pm

rofl... oh cross...

11:17 pm

I've no desire to sit in front of a class of 'whatevers'.

11:17 pm

aww ty stid

11:17 pm

stilkl dont have it yet..hoping for other leads to pan out first

11:18 pm

teachers make money?

11:18 pm

But that's the path you must travel before you get to the kids or Uni studnts who are there because they want to be.

11:18 pm

how fishy/weird is the upper left E? my last blank tile. Will get that and reach 100 and go finish the paper.

11:18 pm

in which parallel university are you teaching??

11:18 pm

I'll teach infants but no more.

11:19 pm

well, you do what you have to, cross (of course) and know that it is temporary. A stepping-stone to something you would like better... and it may turn out you love it and do amazingly well and end up owning the company.... *dreaming of a vacation timeshare with cabana boys*

11:19 pm

I'll teach dogs, serve children and tease old men

11:19 pm

Teaching is NOT for me.

11:19 pm

LOL mrp -- so far, I am still paying someone to teach me how to teach! I like the actual "working with kids" part though! Can hardly wait!

11:20 pm
