mmm ssausage apple stuffing sounds good
I hate these little grids
YAY ruru!!!

that would be great... I like the crunch; my family doesn't, so I do the boring kind
yay, ru!!!
and veggies have to be pretty little or our daughter doesn't like it LOL
wheat bread /chicken apple sausage stuffing with prunes, parsely, onions, garlic, milk, eggs and thyme
yum, except for the prunes
mmmmm, ruru!
got to get back to work...nite all
the prunes are great with turkey dee
I wish I liked prunes
that sounds good too... but figs would be better than prunes
with goose too
night dart have a great night
nite dart!
figs fall apart
i like prunes, but like figs more
bye dart
I love prunes -- haven't had them in ages. sort of forgot about them, y'know?

dried figs... comparable to prunes
have a friend who loves dried prunes; keep trying them, but yuk
I have a recipe for Ma hubbles turkey stuffing that kills
ma hubbles
?
I'm not fond of sage, unfortunately
what's in that?
someone's grandmother.
no sage in it jilli, thyme
love sage
nor am I jili, so very, very light on the sage
love thyme, specially lemon thyme and I have some in my garden
then we make southern gravy, but it is a bit heavy on the cayenne
what is the second letter for the h?
crispy sage on butternut squash soup..
hy
that sounds good
absolutely, ru!!!
make a mean butternut squash soup with sage, and easy as pie
ty

My s-i-l used to gaze at the butcher section and say "I wish they'd invent a new meat".
totally agree jili
okay dee.. what do you want to cook?
well, now we can get bison
we have met him 2 x, so anxious to get to know him better
that is great is he a keeper for your kid?
hmmm... something not terribly difficult; with RA can't spend a lot of prep time, so prep has to be easy or in stages
I think she is getting pretty serious... not sure, but hear something different in her voice
how about pork tenderloins.. 40 minutes to the table
could be good
I have some great ideas there. and it is delicious
with oven roasted peaches, onions, peppers, and potatos

evening all :)
this one must be reasonably easy cause everyone is gone.
hello MrP, feeling better today?
hey jacq :) slept all day... having weirdo dreams too!
how are you?
im great thanks, house is empty for the first time in a week lol
and i think i'm clearing off to my mums this weekend for more peace
that is perfect!
did you go to hospital the other day? i was worried about you
mum and dad (step dad actually, but better father than the real one) have gone to dunoon for the weekend and gave me a key
no jacq, I took the meds that docs have given me in case of such problems... and slept forever!
is good that you get time out!
so long as you're better but the dreams probably mean your body was fighting hard, this is good
dreams are so strange cause they are like real!!
the girls used to say they had strange dreams when they were ill
and they cou;d sleep fr scotland too
a key to mum and dad's is always comforting!
it is, and it will give me a break from the fighting here
fighting... ugh! it zaps the energy out of you
i know, i just wish they would grow up, i keep telling them the baby can hear every word they yell at each other and one day she will use those names and that will hurt them
hi everyone
heya andree
Can any one clue for pa 5,12? Please and thank you. :)
hi andree :)
don;t have it yet galey, sorry
my last word
have you been sick mrp
thank you jac
not here either gale
add a vowel to pa4/5 galey
galey pa is a type of wrap
thank you mrp and fuquay
ah, got it too, thanks quay and andree
wtg on fireworks galey!!!!
I had another allergic reaction andree... couldn't breathe
thank you fuquay and andree
Thank you all :)
I was babbling away and eating left over thai... strange thing is, I had eaten it the day before... and BANG... can't breathe.
wow half way already
how awful mrp, to what?
could it be the msg MrP?
it was green curry chicken
green chicken curry , my favourite
i have had reactions to various foods... vanilla slice, thai... makes little sense
mine too andree!
it used to drive me nuts trying to find the triggers, made it worse when the doc who said keep detailed diaries didn't even look at them
the time before that, it was a fish cake... msg could be a factor, but have been eating that since forever!
i must email you the knitting pattern for the rug for the kids
doesn't matter MrP, you can becaome allergic to anything at any point in your life
thanks andree... will start on it once I get the crochet rug together!
very few reputable places use msg anymore, i am allergic to that too
too right jacq, if only I was allergic to white wine! I would be a healthy girl!
lol MrP
no mrp like me you just change to red,lol
my mum developed a prawn allergy, she loves prawns, so she takes two anti-histamines before the meal (silly woman)
I wonder if the place that serves up the thai uses it, cause I had a reaction to fishcakes from there too
lol andree
i like your thinking
too right andree!! smart woman!!
you can call and ask, they have to tell you
call them up and ask, they should not use it, its on record the number of asthmatics that have died after a chinese meal
jacq, you think they speak or understand english? hahaha! can barely give them the order that they understand it... that is how 'authentic' it is... tastes fantastic!
ahhhhhh
then find someone who can translate MrP, this is important
they have to advertise if they use it right?? they are allowed to use it but have to say if they do?
i think so, but it's different here
but then again.... there was a chinese restaurant in lossiemouth that was found to be using seagull instead of chicken LOL
strangely enough i never eat there, or ate there
andree, will check out if they advertise it... I see bags of the stuff being delivered to one chinese restaurant up here
seagull?? far out!! mind you, I have seen some seagulls that are the size of chickens!
they are all big here lol, but apart from the fact that they are like pigeons now and eat rubbish, they are also protected
talking of chicken... dinner is served!! see you all soon
bye mrp
bye MrP, take care please
not green chicken curry i hope
lol, probably not
ok 44 left, time to tidy up be back soon
bye jaq
ok, slow cooked chicken with brandy, lemon and garlic on rice. I need to homecook food from now on
Luke has been so funny tonight! He decided I should open a restaurant and call it 'Slow Cooked Ass'! He swears you can eat donkey!
Does anyone have the re6/39? last one and am stuck. TY
nm. Found it
I am stuck with the bloody 8
fireworks!! monkeyed that one
WTG Mrp :-)
ta zoom!! and hi :)
back
wtg mrp!!!!!!
wb jacq and ta :)
just have the dishes to do and the house is done, so will babble a while longer lol
just have to clean 5 bathrooms, vacuum 4 bedrooms, the lounge and family room, the library and music room and clean the kitchen, fridge and dining room, then I will be done (and dead)... I hate cleaning!!
ouchies
tomorrow is the cleaning day. Kids get bribed with money to do two of the bathrooms, two bedrooms and the family room. Lickety and I do the rest. Oh, and the mountainous pile of washing to fold... hell
oh dear, you need a maid
i am a firm believer in kids earning pocketmoney
she is on holiday for 3 weeks!! ((tears welling in eyes))
it teaches them the value of money and shows that work has a reward
they have to earn it all!!
as they should
i had to earn mine and it did me no harm whatsoever, i also kept my room much tidier
and if they mess up... all their pocket money goes to the maid!!
lol
They put a whole months worth of their money to our maid cause she spent 6 hours on their crappola!
sounds like you have the balance just right
i have one c to get and it's bugging me
might have to list just to get it
and when Luke broke something out of anger... 3 weeks worth back to replacing it.
which c??
it must be the co6 24
consequences, always a good lesson, my exes daughter had none, if she broke something it was replaced, i told him he was rewarding negative behaviour but he said it was easier
16 and autistic and spoiled, wasn't easy
i don;t have a co6/24, ty mrp
Hello, all...Mr. P <bows>

not as good as fresh ground coffee bean
nice french jai, perfect use
could have said le grande storme fantastique but was too lazy
LOL
ok shop calls, need sugar in my coffee, apparently my grand-daughter spilled the last on the floor this morning, she can reach the table now
freshly ground coffe bean sounds good...I wonder if my daughter will make some....
will have to remind all the adults to put everything far back
brb
see ya', gal...have fun
had a good laugh at 'little britian' the other day... Vicky says.... 'what is that class where they use all those strange words that no one understands?' and the councellor says, 'French?', and Vicky replies.... 'no.... English'
Well, mrp, it's just us, unless you disappeared..
pardon?
lol
ROFL!
sorry, crosshair
'little britian USA' is too funny!!
very!
well, I have to go..have a 5000 word paper to write by tomorrow..have procrastinated long enough....
I am watching 'Misery'... waiting for the scary stuff, but this is very Alfred Hitchcock... I like Kathy Bates
we are not the ones who say "asked" like this..."axked"..though we do say "toronto" like this 'torronno"it how we bust the drug mules,when they pronounce the t lol
mysery is a good movie
misery
Misery is Kathy Bates extraordinaire!!!
im her number one fan lol
My 11 year old is watching it... when should I send her out of the room?? Cause it is pretty true to the book so far!
when she hobbles him
when she ties him to the bed
back
She and Kate Winslet should have an ax-ielding contest!!!
the bed scene is awful
ok, thanks for the heads-up!
*wielding
when you see him lying with his legs spread betweena block of wood
and be fast about it
have seen it loads of times but that scene always makes me hide my eyes
I am outta here LOL no amputational movies for me
ok... well they are having dinner now... listening to Liberacy and toasting Misery's return....
it's not amputation it's worse, it's hammer time
he just drugged her drink!!
Maddie and I are already getting scared!!
lol
bye! le *poof
i just read 'liseys story" and hope to read "duma key next"
bye jai!
P.S. I'm gonna go out today and rent it for tonight....ROFL
LOL jai
Bai, Mr. P and crossy....Bai! says Jai
LOL jai!! you are brave!
tc jai;0
bye jai
Bye, jacq
I wanna see Mao's Last Dancer
good day all
hello sue
this is a wonderful place to stop and say hello
And am reading New Moon (thanks to Maddison)... I have to read it to stay abreast of teenage issues
you are my online family
hi sue!! :))
well, consider me your antepodean cousin!
sue, the good thing about an online family is the off button, sometimes wish my daughter and her boyfriend had one
I will mrp
I hear that Jac
that is why my closest family member is 600 miles away
I love my family, we just do better as adults with some distance
mine are all mostly here, within about 70 miles, with cousins scattered to the four winds
mine are near and far... I just have the tenaciousness to tell them to leave me the F alone
I do wish mine were closer so that the kids could see them more often
whenever any of my cousins visits we all have a huge family meal here because they need to know who their family are, and everybody comes
my girls used to hate it when they were younger but now they love it
I love that Jac, you are amazing for doing that
sue, i would rather cook for 15 - 20 people than cook for 3
but I knew that about you before
lol
me too
you have to admit, there is something really special about bustling about in the kitchen and everybody around chatting and mucking in, and my mum always washes up as i dot about LOL
I made pancakes from a mix last night for the first time in 15 yrs probably. I found a cholate hazelnut mix and it was wonderful
mmmmmmmm sounds nice
I love that jac
as long as the kitchen is big enough
i'm lucky, mine is big, lots of space, have been in two houses and both had big kitchens
come to my kitchen sue!!
i bet yours is huge mrp
Good Morning
my current kitchen is 20 squares
hi merk :)
nice!!!! do you have a range? i always wanted a range
heya merk
I have a range... newly installed
<<< seriously jealous
could cook amazing meals with a range, i have 3 rings and an oven it's gets a bit chaotic at times lol
I wanna put in a new island bench... extend the kitchen to the balcony and install a bbq out there
sorry 4 rings
2 ovens here
do you have room for a lodger?? i clean and cook and don't need pocket money
I do jacq! I have a whole flat downstairs... bedroom, huge ensuite and kitchenette and lounge, all with TV/satellite and indoor carparking
your place must be massive
yep... which is why it makes me cry that the maid is away on holiday
lol i can imagine LOLOLOL
you need to get someone wwho would be happy to do a few weeks at a time
I am thinking of getting a live in maid/au pair
sounds like a good idea
a student would be good... someone that can cook dinner, clean 2 hours a day...
just remember to vet them properly
there are agencies here that do that... and the government pays us $250 a week to have them with us
even better
r's finally finished, some odd ones there
indeed! and congrats jacq!
Good morning/day to all!
ty

sorry, puppy had an accident and my friends kid ran through it across the rug and floor, YUCKKKKKKKKK

Wow, Crossy!
have they actually done it? all i got this morning was graphics of it
we have had snow on the cairngorms
Cross, what adhesive do you recommend for my tiles?
there are many adhesives to choose from,i advise you to check at the harware store help desk for this one
OK, I will do that after tennis this morning.
but a sillicone based adhesive may be best
hey!

**things**
Well, good to see you.
thanks
hello all
hello bubba
heya TO
Hi Owl
hi owl, scrabs, bubba and jacq
Your name is in the grid, Owl
funny to think i will see two of you next week
please advise what you would like me to do/bring.
Hi Doren! Yep, next Saturday! You will meet the real Scrabbler.
All prior impressions will change, LOL
hah! honestly owl i have absolutely no idea.. so just bring yourself. I will figure out something. Since we're going to be out from 12 - 4 and I do have work on friday, I'm not likely to be cooking up a storm. But I can promise you we will eat well and have good wine.
I will bring something. No alcohol for me.
do you think so scrabb? it is always funny to meet folks you've been chatting with, but owl and une and I met and they weren't that different from what you might imagine.
not to worry, I know you don't drink, and will shop accordiingly
btw must find time for family event. they have not even told my father about it yet, if you canbeleive that.
oh yes i can believe it. they sound kind of "casual"
Ice water for me, salad (vegetarian), chocolate, friends + Scrabble. Also, we must chat on Babble together.
i always have those things... and even yummier vegetable dishes than salad, no problemo!
and i have two computers, so we can chat on babble with each other
have a yummy veg dish i often make.
i will bring my netbook--you have Wi-fi?
owl, since you're coming from PA. that seems above and beyond... but I won't stop you. If you do, tell me what you are bringing so I'll be sure not to duplicate
yes i do scrab. if i have time saturday morning maybe i'll make my sister's famous curried butternut squash soup (do you like curry flavors Scrab? i doubt that owl does)
i find it fascinating how babblle invariably repeats words in successive grids..and i don't mean babblets. note ro5/14
There are several repeats from yest
yes owl, and i doubt that it is merely coincidence. well ladies.. 8:00 is my latest time to leave for work and get there comfortably on time, so I am out!
scrabs, do you require veg only or must their be no prcoessed food involved?
oh ... you do eat cheese yes?
Do you have a 4-day weekend, Doren? i.e. off today?
I am not vegan...yet
absolutely not... and not even off on monday.. .jus the kids. we have stupid meetings on monday.
"processed" food is ok
Not even off on Monday??
okay good.. then good cheeses, good breads, good vegetables and a chicken dish for those who like.
not to scare you. my dish used some baking mix
no, and i thought i was and made a date to meet my daughter in the city... then realized it yeserday morning
only 38 words and i'm doing le poof! later, ladies
that is the inly "questionable" ingriedient
bye doren
Bye Doren
Owl, I do not cook from scratch at all
can anyone please clue the 8 for me, have tried everything i can think of?
i am stuck at 48 and now must get ready for tennis. Bye all. Enjoy the day.

hey jac
am not enjoying the8 at all, have been monkeying odd words for about half an hour trying to find it
well, as I just started, I don't have it - sorry. if you monkey it, let me know!
i will
:-)
co6/24, small bed and french for water, that took me an age too
hmm - will look, ty
ah. got it
and fe5/18, is based on scots law, a fe* is a free right to use land in return for services, the fe5/18 is one who holds the fe*
also took forever
well, I appreciate you saving me time. :-) I take it the list is up today?
yup, thankfully
good morning all, found the pr8 on morewords, new word for me
care to clue it peri?
hi peri - good going.

whoo hoo mills
good pr8 clue tx
good clue bad monkey :-(
hi jmh
hi jmh
hi all

sorry machine froze up had tp reboot
okay - ty

must be blind, cannot see the ap5
going to do floors before babies get here brb
kept looking up instead of down. ;-)
Good morning, Babblers. I think I'm going to barf at hearing the news that Obama won a Nobel Prize.
hi judi
aha, thanks Wolvie
not me judi
yw peri
hi peri
Hard to believe they could trump the stupidity of giving one to Al Gore. I'm embarassed to be an American today.
again, not me
ty wolvie for the hy! my monkeys must be broken this morning
mine were too jmc. :-) jac helped me out
Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize???
yes - they were not expecting it at all. Perhaps early, but cool.
like Obama a lot but have no clue why he would deserve it
et6 pls
et6 pls
I don't have that one yet peri, sorry
me either still working on my first cup of coffee
me either really - they said he has changed the international debates already - we will see. Still, I like Obama, so I am happy for him - and us.
okay what is true is that this administration sees diplomacy as a viable option rather than just invasion
did jac leave? chat to jac - et clue? (et phone home jac!!)
that seemed to be the thrust of the award jmc
but I am not sure that bring the US back to the modern world is deserving of the peace prize
jac went to scrub floors
maybe there should be a peace prize equivalent to the darwin awards
Good intentions alone should not be enough to EARN a Nobel Peace Price. Obama has done NOTHING to deserve this.
I hear you. As i said - i think it may be premature, but - it is done
No reason to get panties in a twist over it tho - accept it, use it, and move on. :-)
*checks panties* no they are okay
Judi ..Not American ...but I do live there part of the year and as with the English we must never be embarassed to be english because of our politicians!! We would all end up being mortified the whole time!!
obviously, I am not going to agree with you guys - I tend to be mellow - jmc - that was more for judi and the caps. :-)
lol aint that the truth jmh!
Okay. End of political discussion.
mellow is not my strong point! lol but the chog definitely helps
i mean, if we want to start with the embarassment stuff, I have a whole list of folks who qualify way more than Obama. :-)
it's chemical uses the 3 letter tile too et6/27
gm you word vultures
hi jean
*making a list and checking it twice*
hey jac - and ty!
Hiya, EJean.

hi esprit
I don't know why but I was just thinking the other day that I have not seen Cat (Kat) for a long time, forgot her whole screen name she is canadian
hi judi jmn wolvie
kate?
thot it was cat-something
she was always cooking something and had an affinity for middle eastern food
could be - the one I am thinking of is kate - trader kate. she said something about not being on babble for awhile. She is lost in game land at FB. :-)
ah - not the same one - I think
saanichcat? she was on the other day
not trader kate
nope jmc
trader kate keeps sending me new babble friends in fb
she had a couple of daughters I think and a husband who was badly injured in an off road ATV or something
ah yes? I haven't run into you there jmc
hopefully she will send me along to you
wow jean - i have no idea who that may be.
I don't play anything except lexulous
no biggie - i just like to see what folks are up to. I am getting ready to start lex
esprit I went through the rankings and couldn't find any one that met all the clues sorry :-(
Esprit, it's Carleecat you are thinking of and she was on about a week or so ago, has been very busy.
it just occurred to me I had not seen her in months
but I was looking for cat not kat so maybe that was it
I am missing 1 f - i have fe x 6, and fl x 1 - what type am i missing?
yes!!!
are we friends wolvie?
Hi FM
hi fmitch
ahhh - I do know her - she was on yesterday. her dad is still in a bad way
ty fmitch
There's another fl4, wolvie.
very sad. I hope her dad gets better
i don't think so jmc - my name is Sue Duff, located in north carolina
ty judi
ok and I'm a little behind on the news, what about MrP's daughter, she was having some medicla problem
I will look for you --
well duh. fish for me
Hi and bye, am holding on the phone but had to assist Esprit :)
bye FM
:-)
and with that, I am taking a break - halfway seems good - got to grab my sis at the airport in a bit.

a specific french dog or the word for dog in French? LOL Hi all
Just popped in for a few and to greet everyone
word for dog
ty Ata :)
Ata!!!! Was just about to email you to say GOOD LUCK for tomorrow, what time is it all starting?
Hmmm that appears to be a french word itself, not one I have seen before
is sunday!
which is REALLY lucky cos I feel like crap today! temperature, shivery ...
I'm shoving paracetamol down my throat madly
Oh so sorry to hear that! ((()))
Hobbit's acted as a hot water bottle against my back all day!
mmm that will have been lovely :)
but on Sunday, we have to get to the airfield at 8:15, and have a how-to-do session, then could be at any point during the day. eeeep!
Good luck Ata, and I hope you feel better soon, Hi FM Im off to get ready for date with hubby : )
Have fun all
Hi and bye MaMa
Are you driving up on Sunday or staying over Sat night?
driving up tomorrow, staying with claire. liz is staying in the next village along :)
Gosh - will keep fingers crossed that you feel better v soon, say Hi to Liz and Claire and can't wait to hear all about everything
I'll be coming back your way, of course .... not sure whether monday or tuesday though
could you actually email me your mobile number again, still having "issues" getting numbers from my old phone to new phone ...
Oh let me know that would be great! Have to run the timer is going off, will email you number a little later this evening ((((()))))
The Nobel Peace Prize Announcement has the Conservatives, er, Neo-Conservatives here in a tizzy. LOL Hi, Ata and FM
Hi/bye dc
be well, FMitch :)
hi dc! I'm a bit confused as to what actual peace he's been creating
http://tinyurl.com/ylq9pm8 explains it
but i agree with you
hmmm, yes. I agree with that. It's a bit - I just wish they'd waited until he'd done something.
agreed
Jimmy Carter deserved his, for example.
and what prize can he get now when he *does* do something!
for I have no doubt that in 20 years, he'll truly deserve it
yes. This is the committee exerting, or trying to exert, political influence it seems
which is utterly wrong, Nobel prizes should be above politics
agreed
I think they are just grateful he is not Bush
as are many of is, jmc
yes!
he gave a lovely response to the announcement
er, are
but would they have given it to McCain?
said that it was not his but all the leaders in the US
I is grateful
hmmm not sure if mccain was planning on not being more Bush than Bush
maybe they were a bit stuck for ideas
help with the I on the top row pls
If McCain's campaigning was indicative of his intent to govern, i think not.
i4 x2
ni5
have the ni but thanks
I4 - like on a computer or in an Orthodox church
I4 - unit of measure
duh! I quite looking in the measurement direction when it wasn't an itch!
ty got them both now
me too, and i got i from a clue too
thanks for the reassurance that I am not totally dumb!
not at all. All our brains get stuck in not-helpful patterns sometimes
so is your ic4 a grid clue?
no, it's just pretty
very pretty!
and did monkey tell you about my suggestion of Mama Ayesha's?
you did, jmc :)
gorgeous!
ty, ata
oh okay -- have you ever been there?
i've not, but i eat that cuisine a lot, and looked over the menu
nbt finally
what cuisine is that? it sounds middle eastern?
yes, lebonese
how yummy!
go, jmc!
I went there when I first came to DC and it was a divey kinda place. Mama Ayesha sat at the bar and smoke cigarettes and if you were lucky come over and tell you what to order
when she died a nephew took it over and remodeled it and it is really pretty now
how cool is that, jmc :) We're meeting monkey at a little vietnamese place near here next saturday.
alas I will be in scenic indiana on the 17th
clue for the JO 5 please. BTW, Hi everybody
hi soodle
are all the J's jo?
only have jo4
je4, 3 jo's
jo5/30 - rhymes with what the performer did at the end of his act
Hiya Jmc, Ata, DC. Ata, sorry your poorly - and on such a big weekend for you :(
Hello, all.
Ah! thank you Vic!
hello all - clue for the pr8 please
hi vic
ty vic
ty vic I don't think I would have tried the jo5
hi ursh the clue is not amateur+ french word for dog misspelled
even though i can type the clue I have yet to find the word!
huh. my uncle just friended me on facebook. I didn't know his last name. :">
lol, jmc! try non amateur + bottom of face with an extra vowel inserted
I *will* be better by Sunday!!!
I can just hear your teeth gritting Ata!!
ty vic I was using the wrong n (but you knew that!)
Of course you will, Ata!
sleep late on saturday ata
There was a strong presumption, jmc! =)
PR6.21, pls?
pr6/21 - South African flower, non-amateur British drink
brits take *** drinking very non-amateurly
So maybe just "British drink" would be a sufficient clue? lol
thanks :)
Lovely clue, Vic!
my geeky palaeo phantom today is procynodont
I do not know where else to celebrate, but with my Babble friends. I am taking Advanced Composition in college, and I just completed a heavy week of assignments. Whoo-hoo! It is like this heavy load has been lifted off my shoulders!
wonderful, jaianniah! That's quite an a accomplishment. :)
yay jai!
you go girl!!!
Go, jaianniah!
Thank you. I also received my clas ring- silly to get one at the age I am, but darn it, I am slogging my way thru college, and I am so happy to be in my last year!
Jai, thats wonderful. well done!
you should be very proud of yourself! that's quite an accomplishment at any age!
cool, jaianniah
good for you jai...that is awesome
go jaia go
Yeah- AND do the Babble puzzle every night....
ROFL!
that's just addiction hun lol
I don't think it would have been helpful to me had Babble been invented while I was at college.
Oh. No credit given for babble, then? LOL!
ok Brit confusion - explain class rings
i gained ten pounds ...ty very much babble
in HS and Uni here, each graduating class gets a ring designed, and one can buy one for one's year
you get a ring with the year you graduate etched in it
A class ring is a ring that hass your college's name, your major, year of Graduation, etc. with your picks of stones and materials...mine is gorgeous
there are core elements in the ring for each school, though each classes is usually different in some way.
oh cool!
most of them have stones
why rings? whats the historic basis?
my college did not have stones -- cigar band rings
hey
hi mad
well we don't have school ties
The historic basis is probably that some jewelry company thought they could make the most money that way! lol
long time no see atlante
dates to 1835 at West Point, Ata
so in Texas, for example my school ring is a subtle way let people know I went to an elite school
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_rin g apparently it's a US thing
I guess we have scarves!
I have a sweatshirt from my college. =P
me too!
I know I have read in british novels the significance of school ties
fe5.18, pls?
in SA kids wear uniforms until 18 and university or college so "old school tie" quite significant later on in their lives
sorry- I got a phone call...did you get your question about class rings answered?
fe5.18 fe & wild cat jag***. Morning all
ty lyn
HIya Lynn
how is everyone?
ty, lyn
hi lynxx
Anyway, I love my babble people- you are so supportive and quite a nice bunch! I love the fact that we are all from around the world. I have been toying with changing my flag to Norway as I have family in Norway and am Norwegian- but I am an American first- I wish we could display two flags!
I am at work and tend to wander off to do things
I really liked that on Obama's inaugural day so many babblers changed their flag to U.S. it was very sweet
Yes, so sweet!
we had that fe5 word before
Oooh Jmc. I'd love to be paid to 'wander off and do things' lol
That's not too bad Obama picking up the Nobel Peace prize!
yes we have. but i'm a bit spacy. I stayed up much too late, and got up earlier than ideal
Speaking of wandering off and doing things, I guess I'd better. =) Bye, all!
Bye Vi
bye vic
Bye Vic, and thanks for the help
see ya, vic

go go lyn!
ooo what's happening, soodle?
nope, i have nothing else to do..lol
got the plane
oh looking at eastenders now
Pool old Stacey is throwing the wobbler to end all wobblers. She is a blooming good actress!
what's a wobbler? a fit?
she is! do you watch eastenders normally?
a mental Jmc
yep, she's about to get sectioned or something similar I vaguely remember
it is a question of sport on now???
Sorry, Jmc. Yes - a sort of mental breakdown
ty do like to understand what I am reading on the chof :-)
Ata, I normally have the soaps on in the background as I go about my business. (Multi-tasking!!). I don't sit down and watch them, but I am aware of whats happening!
Soodle you must have eastenders on at a different time.
Zoo..... Corrie, Part Deux!!
you know the vaguely welsh sounding PC Young in Eastenders that turns up every now and then? That#s my godsister :):)
oic :-)
cool ata
Zoo. Corrie 7.30 to 8.00. Eastenders 8.00 - 8.30, and Corrie back at 8.30. What a busy, fulfilled life I lead.....
oh wow Ata, thats good, will look out for her next time.
LOL, soodle
she was meant to be in the Christmas special but was offered an RSC tour and just had to go on that instead!
Ata. This is how sad I am. I actually intend to engineer conversations around, so that I can tell people that I know somebody whose Godsister is in Eastenders! Oh, Soodle, get a life!!!
would you like any clues Lynxxx for your last two?
loooool I do it too! :P
BTW, whats a godsister?
I kinda inventedthe term godsister. Her mum is my godmother and my mum is her godmother
phone
it's far too confusing to explain every time! and she's as close as a sister and a best friend
How lovely! That makes perfect sense.
I think so :)
the Urban dictionary concurs
Ata, be sure to post photos of your 'Great Descent' on Sunday.
does it? wow didn't know that!
I will I will :):)
Ah! Hello BabbleRabble.
hello
I like the term godsister
hi BR
hi BabRab
Just read todays words of wisdom, BabbleRabble, and heres my tuppence-worth...
Smile awile, and while you smile, another smiles. And suddenly, life's worthwhle, because you smiled.....so Smile! :)
Hi all, back to see if i can finish up
so I will try to smile awhile
I do too, it explains our closeness and family-ness in one word, otherwise trying to explain that the daughter of my godmother or the daughter of my mum's best friend etc etc gets complicated!
hi Wolvie
And suddenly, Life's worthwhile...............
Hey Wolvie. Welcome to SmileyVille :)
Hello BR & Wolvie :-)
What's our closeness and familyness?
hey zoo, br, lynxx, ata, soodle, et al...
I like smileyville - especially on a friday!
me and my "godsister", uni
if you want to smile awhile, read the article and enjoy the video here: http://tinyurl.com/ygrsrdw
Ah, cool. I've got no God anything due to a lack of baptism and religion. Maybe a mobsister?
Babble, I cant figure out the tinyurl thing.. what should I put into google?
Rofl Uni
hi Uni!
hi uni
good advice, soodle and BR. In my kids'' oaricguak scchool the kids identified me as the mom who alwasy smiles
Soodle, go to the address bar, highlight the address now there and delete, then cope and paste this address there, hit enter: http://tinyurl.com/ygrsrdw
Inge, isn't that a lovely compliment?

So, it's 'Up' and 'Zombieland' next on the agenda
ok I give in, Uni. I'm buying 2 tickets for his LOndon gig, and I'll find SOMEONE to come with me!
All the better for Babbling tonite, Movieman!!!
the only reason I want to go with someone else is that it's an "interesting" part of London, adn a long way home on the tube ...
All we want to do is eat your brains, we're not unreasonable, I mean no-one's gonna eat your eyes...
Ooh. You buy the plane ticket, I'll get the passport! :) Could you not drive? Too far?
anyone have the 8?

hello, peri
hi peri
hi peri
here!
gottit, thanks, Wolvie
yw
a friend just bought some root beer flavored vodka. have you tried it, Ata?
we will have some with root beer opn Monday to celebrate her birthday
*on Monday*
there was a brand of vodkay called : Pink
wow, no!
ooo like the idea of Pink Vodka!
*vodka* even
the pink one looked interesting
wil let you know about the root beer flavored one on Monday
I like the sound of vodkay. It sounds sort of posh!!
:D
does!
;-0
Soodle, Google this if you want to see what I was referring to: Rick and Dick Hoyt
what flavor is the pink vodka tho?
Babble, I got it from your extended clue. Wow. Sort of humbling.
good
pink flavoured! like yellow cake
like yellow cake?
which is better for cleaning battery terminals, regular or pink vodka?
I don't know jmc, did not read the label, but it looked pretty
same po***s i would think BR, just use clear so no dye residue. ;-)
I work with the Coroners Agency in Ireland. Today I attended my first post-mortem. It was being done on the body of a homeless lady. I am still quite freaked by the whole affair!
I always ask what flavour yellow cake is lol
oh - lol ata - ty
soodle, wow. I would be freaked too
ata - sort of like everything is chicken?
oooh yes. you have someone there with you, soodle??
I thought I was prepared - but, clearly I wasn't.
yep. smoked wombat, ostrich, greenland shark, all chicken flavour
I don't know how you could be. That would take practice
thanks, Wolvie, need to make sure the greenest way to clean the terminals is employed
rofl - hear ya, ata
Oh, Ata, I am fine, but, it sort of reduces everything to a base line.
that's what i suspected BR - being that you are a flat lander and all.. ;-)
Ata, does wombat smokes come with filters?
you need pink vodka :)
LOL
i'd hope so!
A double, please :)
a round of pink for all - dbl shots!
now I will have to buy that pink vodka so I know what it tastes like :)
Yay! Heres to life, and smiles, and Babble! (downs double pink vod-kay in one)
yes you do peri - and you must report back!!
lol yes, you will
here,here!
*eating vanilla ice cream*
*hic* downed one with you soodle
hello, Scrabbler
hi scrabs! how goes the new job?
'nother, please
HI, Scrabs
mmmm pink vodka
hey scrabs
pink...must be strong..can't see to pour - just chug it!
ata - you need pink vodka before jump. how cool. :-)
not allowed alcohol before jump! we've been told :P
no sub courage, eh? ah well - you will be fine
Scrabs, your probably used to what I observed today. But, as a lay-person, I'm still a bit rattled!! More vod-kay, please. Colour not relevant!
it's better to be sober enough to pull the cord
New job is wonderful, still surreal that I am with nice, respectful, non-workaholic, smart, competent, thoughtful people in the office--such a contrast to former job
saw that fb post - way cool
true jmc
it is odd to see people open
scrabbler, you have come thru the fire. Earned this indeed. :-)
jmc - I wonder about you. lol
wtg scrabs! it gives us all hope
what? what do you wonder?
I understand, Soodle--and being with a dead person--a body--is spooky---where the hell is the person? They were alive and now they're dead? So where are they now? where is the soul, the spirit? When did the soul depart the body? Are they watching now? What happens when we die?.....
seeing people open - did you go back in the chog for that ( I hope) because right after the cord pull....
lol
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg only got 22 left and losing the will to live!!! 17 5's and 5 6's
evening everyone
And to be with a person when they die/cross over/continue on...is unsettling too.
I went back to soodle's comment sorry it was so close to the parachute comment that it was confused!
hey katie!
Hi TLLC & Kitt
hang in there tllc!
OH Scrabbler. yes. I seriously thought I was hardened enough to take it, but, it knocked the stuffing out of me. To see what was a living, breathing human LITERALLY laid bare was just more than I could cope with
hi
hi katie
no no - jmc - I love to joke around. sorry if i missed the mark - it does happen. ;-)
I think the peeling back the face would be the worst for me, soodle
Soodle, to see the hands and to think what those hands accmplished in life, the face, etc.
I have watched a number of people die including my husband. it is a very peaceful moment of time suspension
np wolvie
No. It was the application of the brain-saw. I should have left at that stage.
Gross Anatomy Lab in med school was creepy at times. The things we did to the bodies with saws
even when the moment before was hectic and violent
i have seem people die. Just never have experienced an autopsy.
et 6 please, and hello everyone
Yes, JM, the breathing just ceases.
ick
Hi meliae
hi meliae
et6 is a chemical
hello meliae & TLLC
hi
doh got it thank you
yw
TY, Jm, for et6
really struggling with this grid for some reason
yw scrabs
19 left, bbs to finish
it is a tough grib mel
bye peri
bye peri
20 here and going crazy lol
pa5/12 please
I only have 40 but I don't think the wine is helping
My dear friend, Mary, died on 10/13/08 and we were with her.
peel and apple + a vowel TLLC
the wine is helping katie, trust me
Once again, as an added bonus, the words ALL start with the letters they are supposed to.
sad, scrabs
I guess I will ask for a clue for the 8 I have a good idea how it starts but tired of trying to monkey it
YAY - that will help me a lot BR!! ty. ;-)
Yes, very tough, Wolvie. It has been a challenging year.
ty maliae
I imagine
lol Wolvie it has been a very long day at the end of a very long week. An hour bath with two glasses of wine has really helped me if not the grid
clue for the singleton n please?
an amateur, not a pr* + hank williams: your ***at**g heart
the way to start a weekend katie. :-)
Help with the fe5/18, please. A hot bath, glass of wine awaits once I get this one....
Oh ty VR
*BR - see the wine is telling lol
good grief that is not even close to what I was trying to monkey, thank you BR!
sounds like just a bit, then you **e here
I love my new job but I am so busy doing both it and my previous job and to make matters worse my only member of staff in post went for the same job so is not exactly a happy bunny
clue for the n please?
Wolvie, what were you clueing there?
the fe 5/18
it doesn't Use the w tho
n - a specialist field
of expertise
Wolvie - the N is an alcove, or one's place in life
it's 5 letters
ata's ni*** is being smug
and the most postings for a clue in history!
oh good grief - fish me. ty katie, soodle, and ata
Hi ata
why does Anadin Extra taste so FOUL?
fe 5/16 please
never take a soluable tablet that's my moto lol
still stuck on the fe 5/18.
I guess the pain relief means they can forget taste?
mine too, this wasthe only paracetamol I could find!
fe + another word for a hill (fe5/1)
fe *se it or lose it, and you **e here
is there a difference in UK English between being smug and being toffee-nosed, Ata?
fe5/16 - soz
fe+yo* me and dupree +you **e sitting at your computer
fe 5/ 16 - what tllc said. :-)
et 6 please
my clue was for the fe 5/18
toffee nosed is generally "posh", I think
toffee nosed is just thinking you are superior, smug is when you know you are superior
my mother is on the phone with me for the 2nd time in 2 hrs--she's rambling and i am listening
oh ok, much better answer lol!
that clue the soz makes no sense to me
Mari phoned from Turkey today it was lovely to hear from her
ata - oh my and lol.
thats because i missed the 6 of off 16!
I will have to remember that nuance
nm monkeyed it
different meanings here in the states I reckon. so posh means ... conceited?
meliae - thank you. Fireworks for Soodle.
scrabs - is she okay?
WTG soodle!
You're welcome and congrats =)
Is there any help I can give anybody?
soodle, can you clue me the et 6?
posh can mean conceited but you can be posh and nice as well. it depends on how you interact with others
congrats soodle
co 6/24 please
and congrats as well
I knew about posh and nice, just not the conceited.Live and learn. :-)
Posh I think the common meaning in the states is something expensive, like she lives in a posh apartment
hi nancy
it's no good i'm going to have to go to the shopping channels there is so little on tv
posh in the US relates to money, posh in the UK relates to social class
Co 6/24. Think of wine from france...**te de Rhone plus first and last vowel
which of course in the US relates to money LOL
watching House on Hallmark
got it, ata. ty. :-)
hi wolfie, is it as hot in nc as it is in fla?
too true at times. ;-)
Going to take a shower. 34 to go
hmm I am not a wine person will try lol
House - the TV doc show, or one of the home remodels?
hugh laurie House :)
does anyone have a cue for the et6?
POSH. The word came from the way rich folk used to travel by boat - Port Out Starboard Home!
bye scrabs.
:-) soodle
No! Really, Wolvie. I couldn't have made that up! its true.
Hiya Soodlebum!
oh thank you Soddle good def for that word
English slang from a British perspective: Noun. Cocaine. Named so, because this is the drug of choice for the wealthy members of society, see adj below. Adj. Of or belonging to the upper classes. {informal}
Hey Shivs! How the heck are you?
pa5/12 please
hmmm - okay soodle. :-)
that's right soodle I'd forgotten that
my feet are up , so I am protected either way.
et 6 is a gas, using the sometimes vowel
Oh, tired but surviving, Soodle...how about you?
http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/por t%20out%20starboard%20home.html
ty BR
please pa5/12
I'm going to get something to eat before I pass out lol
peel and a vowel - before the pa 5/14
Katie - Remember Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? there was a whole song dedicated to Port Out Starboard Home...
PA 5/12 peel and apple + a vowel
peel an* apple
The much-repeated tale is that 'Posh' derives from the 'port out, starboard home' legend supposedly printed on tickets of passengers on P&O (Peninsula and Orient) passenger vessels that travelled between UK and India in the days of the Raj. But it's meant to be more of an urban legend than truth
Oh Shivs - read back over the chog, and see what I was doing today. I am still in shock
i remember parts of chitty chitty bang bang.. but not that. :-)
ty for the link ata
I am sorry istill don't get it!
another word for removing the skin of an apple + 4th vowel
Wolvie - remember when the old grandpa takes off in his little sentry's hut, and sings the Port Out Starboard Home song. Oh, somebody, please tell me that I didn't dream that whole scene....
Thanx!!! Got it
I can't load it all on this computer right now, Soodle, and don't see it in this visible part of the chat?
sounds like a """Pair""" of socks
Shivs, I will email you
~sigh~ easier clue for the co 6/24 please?
oooohhh soodle... I think I do remember that now.
Okay Soodle. I sent a joke earlier you might enjoy.
e + *** kingdom come, or *** will be done + seven, eight, ni**
you are right soodle - i googled and it is the POSH song in chitty. :-)
re 6/39 please?
co + a geological feature like a mesa: pla****
re + one **** over the cuckoo's nest
thank you now I recognize the word! lol
oh man- ty BR
pr6/33 I'm getting tired but so close to finishing for the first time ever!
please
TLLC - the bit of the ship, only more so...
boat front then more so
fw
add more of ending to the word before it

That is tough for me too, Shiv
How about that, Scrabbler? Something else in common.
Even numbers--at 72/30 now. Good.
Nice...I have 52 found, 50 to go.
Very nice

Goodnight!
Sorry, I got paged from the emergency dept--on call next 4 nights. Ugh. Kid is fine.
TY for the fe5, TLLC, and sleep well
Are you a doctor, Scrabbler?
Yep, a pediatrician.
Oh, very nice!
What a lot of study!
Most of the time it is nice, but being on call puts a big dent in a doc's life.
Yeah, I'm sure it must!
True, Shiv--I finished my residency and began practicing 2 months before turning 29.
Yeah, I know doctors are in school for a long time!
Lots to learn, forever--lots to read
Yes I bet, constantly studying and learning to keep up with all the latest medical developments?
Ongoing. I do enjoy reading too.
po5/20 anyone?
Good thing you do!
more po*** to you!
That's the one I have...not sure if there's aother?
I didn't open the list yet but going to.
How did I miss that when I have the comparable words? Fatigue.
hey there scrabs, you were right!
a third grade teacher has no voice now, and i learned a special ed teacher lost hers right before i lost mine
Viral laryngitis?
yup, probably
Parainfluenza virus is the usual culprit.
i did have a nice day off yesterday though. no voice, but otherwise felt fine.
ok, i'm tempting fate here, nick's running around nekkid after his bath. an accident waiting to happen. bye!
This is croup season for kids--we have been seeing lots for 4 wks or so

I agree ... some unusual words.
Hi FV--traveling a lot with Myrtle?
WTG, Scrabbler!
Many new words for me today

Good Evening, and the 8 starts with a PR

Oops, sorry! I was talking to my son. Didn't mean to abandon you, car.

hello all!
Hello everyone. Can anyone clue the et 6 for me please?
Hi TO! How are you today?
Hi Bugs. et6 is a gas.
fine! how are you?
Thanks Jac. I love your icon!!
y/w, Bugs. And thanks.
TO - I think I may be starting with a cold but, apart from that, I'm fine thanks.
i have an ap5 - can someone please give the first two + points for the other a?
ap4/5, TO.
i had aninteresting day
do tell, please
DOH! TY!
What happened, TO?
i wentdowntown to work on a fund drive for my radio station. then saw a concert. then visited an old friend who wokrs for the park service at independence hall. then abck to the station for a party
Busy day!
ah but there's more!
Go on...
I am done. Thanks Jac
the premise of the last 10 days was to pick 10 songs you could not live without if you were stranded opn a desert island. they had a contest to pick the number one song.
Congrats, bugs.
as they played all 885 songs in sequence. i won a clue and was one of 12 who guessed correctly.
* runs in and hugs everyone* YAY bugs!!!!
Congrats, Bugsaw
Hello, stid
hey stid!
Hi stid.
ha. of course it's a small grid today! what flavor is it?
That's a LOT os songs to listen to in one go, TO!
no they have played them over the last week as they fundraised.
Fairly sweet, stid.
TO - Oh! LOL. I thought you had to listen to them all today.
good. I deserve a sweet grid. *simple grin*
TO - and the winning song was?
so whatl prize did you get?
my name was not the one drawn so i did not win. but i did have fun...so close!
one in 12 chance but more than that to win the clue - guess i used up my luck.
Oh dear! So close and yet so far away
tag inge! der stidkid sagt, dass Deutsch macht viel spass! Er hat es gesund!
the number one song here? bruce springsteen's born to run. heplayed his first date here at the spectrum as an opening act. we love him as our own.
that's pretty cool, TO!
Guten Abend Stid. What does stidkid mean with er hat es gesund? gesund means healthy
Not my fave song of all time, but not a bad choice, TO.
the station is cool, stid. fund drives are fun! you talk to many nice folks
oh, I think I misheard him. He means he loves it.
he's been in class for three weeks now.
er hat es gern!
also multitasking when I am tired isn't a great idea...
danke sehr!
breaks out in song* tramps like us, baby we were born to ruuuuuunnnnnnnnn* sorry it's the pirate sangria singing! ;)
How many hours per week does he have German?
he takes class two evenings a week for a little more than two hours each time. It's a freshman -level course.
LOL TO.
LOL TO! too silly!
Good, then he will progress. My pirvate students are here for only one hour per week. We do a lot of reviewing
iwould have loved to win that basket of cd s'
What a neat way for the station to keep everyone listening
he seems to be doing okay. He is struggling to learn the vocabulary, but that is normal for him, and for people at his stage. He does actually spend time studying, which is nice.
they do something similar every year. essentail albums. favrotie meoments in song
the range of songs was astounding. classical, jazz, classic rock, new wave
how about you, inge? are you walking any better?
and learn the der,die,das with each noun!!! Saves oodles of heartache later
The thing I've found with learning languages is that you're taught all the 'correct' forms and just as you think you're getting hold of it you're told, 'But people don't actually say it like that' and then you're off into the vernacular.
thank you for that, he says, "yes ma'am."
evening. hmm, small one.
LOL Jac -- true enough sometimes!
hi feather! inge i am sorry, are you ailing? i didn't know.
hi all.
hello dear feather! happy weekend beginning!
yay!
hey mkg
Hardly any area in Germany speaks standard German, but TV and radio does. And in school rooms no dialect is allowered
hi mkg! brb, dinner is ready
i.e. every German can speak Standard German, if you ask him to
well, it's a LOT harder to learn the standard dialect I think if you learn a regional one first.
reweld

i've got a big one of those this year. speak at all sternly to him, and he bursts into tears. unfortunate, as he has a habit of saying mean things to the other kids, so i'm often speaking sternly to him.
thanks for the long time... 47....

yah, friday. one more day to remark on all the things we want to accomplish in two measley days when all we really want to do is relax
last word was weird one. so when i click it says no such word found in dict................weird grid indeed.
*Hides from Bronx Babe Dorens*
three days -- monday is a holiday
mkg - what was your last word? stat clue only! LOL
26 is the number of letters in the alphabet, as well as bones in the feet (the latter a fact of which i am presently acutely aware)
I knew about the alphabet but saw no connection with the 61 so didn't mention it
ok here is your context. my team won 26 this season and lost 61. :P
for some, monday is a holiday
:-P
that's right jac, well you might hide! (however i find most sports boring... at one point an ardent yankee fan, now i barely recognize their names... but mariano and jeter are known to me
what not going to celebrate the italians coming to america?
;)
you're two up on me, dorens
mariano and jeter are know to pretty much everyone
droen tarrytwon has teh BEST columbus day celebration
i actually forgot that i have school on monday. (the kids don't... but we have these boring "professional development days") and scheduled a fun day in the city with my daughter.. then remembered yesterday
i get to celebrate by working early morning and late at night.
Dorens, I'm only hiding 'cos I've heard The Bronx is a tough area and if you cut your teeth there I'm certainly not about to cross you! LOL
too bad dorens
Shame about the missed day out, Dorens.
:-P the bronx has nothing on the ship channel in houston
Really, jmc?
my parents had the foresight to move when i was three months old. to "joisey" But I did go back there for college... in my day there was an NYU campus in the bronx.. beautiful campus too.... then I transferred to Temple so I could search for 72 Temple Owl
lol!
did the transfer work dorens?
Congratulations mg on your fireworks! Hooray for U!
I met my daughter's 'newish' b/f this evening. He's a mad scientist (really, he IS! He works for Mad Science and looks the part, too.) He seems like a nice guy.
i tried to make it easy to find me, i took a semster seminar where you then husband went to med school
yay, mg!
i guess it did jmc.. I never would have graduated magna cum laude if i stayed at nyu :) actually i moved to Philadelphia.. married the college sweetheart who was going to medical school in Philly, so i needed to transfer
If ever I want a gadget invented, he tells me hie's the man to ask.

wow, owl. did I know that? weird.. and we lived two blocks away from hahnemann too... maybe we crossed paths at some point somehow!
in the corner already
Hello JenMO16! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!
that is really nice news jacula
i like my daughter's new boyfriend too. a much better feeling than the previous guy
i don't know. i was infatuated with the hippie like resarch assistant whose cat smoked dope and answered the phone. true story, i saw it
hi jen
Dorens, I have a vision of them in 20 years time on their 40th garden shed 'cos he's blown them all up. LOL
come on owl, back then we all smoked dope
sigh and I still don't like the little republican sorority girl my son is dating especially since I found out she si scared of me
hahaha jac. hope they survive it
po6 33 please?
if she's a republican sorority girl, she should be scared of you!
aww, jam..did you scare the po' li'l girl?
po 6/33 is po 5/20 with an extra consonant near end
jes... like the tea set paul revere made change the second letter to O though
apparently but out of 6 girl friends only 1 has not been frightened of me
jes - sounds like a sulky person who's mouth is always turned downwards.
i swear i do nothing to warrant this!
thanks :)
but of course. the phone was tapped too, his gradnfather was under scrutiny by the house unamerican activties committee. which made it funnier when the cat knocked the phon eodff the hook every time it rang.
like talcum po*d** but change the d to another letter
or what some people use a puff to put on their face, change the fourth letter from D po****
jmc - are you very fierce? LOL
A ROD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JMC, you must stop growling at them!
no I am polite to the little things
oh hell j, i'd probably be frightned of you!
I SWEAR!!!
owl, this research assistant was at Hahnemann?
Yep, lbd's right. It's probably the growling that does it.:)
SURE you do nothing, jam.... but you're a lawyer, that's scary in and of itself, plus, you're The Mom
I say please and thank you and smile
(and she calls them "little things") think the attitude showed?
Icily polite, jmc?
yes.omg it wasn't your husband was it????
no not southern belle polite
heheh. "little things?"
before or after you ask for a credit check and finger prints, jmc?
Methinks the smile does not reach your eyes perchance, jmc?
and hi jes!
hello dear all!
no owl... he was just a lowly med student... and our cat never answered the phone as far as I know
beside these girls are all yankees and wouldn't know southern belle polite if it bit them
hi, dawg!
hey, stid!
hey stidders
such an intriguing conversation to jump into the middle...
je is ignoring a rod's tieing HR
STIDDY!!
no no I swear I am nothing to fe4 beside being the MOM
rod can suck . .. .. fill in the blank
is that the polite where you say "how nice" instead of "up yours"?
Hello stidmama! How are you? Welcome back to chog!
i di dnot approve of the cat's smoking, but it was better than when it found his stash and ate it.
hi stiddie

hi nonni
I started on zyrtec, and things seem to be much better in the snotty coughy department.
ewwwww, not that way!
dorens I am shocked!
if those don't work i'll whip up some matzo balls
hey nonnie!!!
oops...that was a mistake! Hello all :o)
hi nonnie
ah doren, you're the BEST! *sniffle, sneeze*
I hate peope who boast about their hot tubs, apart from Dorens, 'cos she's from The Bronx. *simper, simper*
jmc... the steam is good for her!!!
LOL jac!
hmmm *puts on foil hat to be extra safe*
yeah, and it is a TINY hot tub.. just a three seater, so it ain't nothing to boast about (keeping up the bronx theme here)
okay, I think probably I'll list now. down to 43.
you all may think that's funny, but it's not.
oh no, they're pulling out the foil hats. .that is scary
well your hot tub holds three people more than mine, doren!
co6/24 please?
what's snot, owl?
me too!
I hate hot tubs because th4 remind me of sharing bath water when i was a kid
LOL
I was the youngest so got the oldest coldest and dirtiest water
army bed + french water, feather
ok j then you don't get to come in with us!!!
jmc, we used to do that too, but luckily usually only 3 baths...
tyvm
Hello Nonnielight! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
you couldn't pay me to join in a hot tub
we were 5
wowie dawg, thanks. didn't have that one
eeewwwww
Great Min and you?
what's not funny TO?
jmc - Oh, know what you mean! When I went to stay with my aunt and uncle and their 2 sons back in the early 60s, being the youngest, I got the almost cold, gry water with skin flakes and dirt floating in it 'cos I got to go in last.
note that first she says it's not... her next entry is LOL!
ro 5/14 pls
*gag*
the hot tub DOES get treated with ozone and other chemicals from time to time. it IS clean
ro 5/14 rhymes with a game called Hop Sc**** big red.
like where your legs meet, but without a c, red
I am SO confused (and grossed out)
big red, like the part of your body between your legs, without the c
nice from ssnot to cr****
stid: stolenfrom our friend's kids',song, : a manatee sneezed on me": you may think that that's funny, but...it's not. it's not. it's snot...get it?
*donning foil cap*
legs meeting, skin flaking- this does sound gross.. time for a change of subject
any other body emissions?
stid, i think TO was making a punny. it's not, it's snot

*holding breath for Min*
Gosh, the explaining of TO's pun so that in the end it wasn't funny put me in mind of a blonde we used tohave in our office. She never 'got' jokes, especially dirty ones. By the time you'd taken them apart and explained them, they weren't funny any more.
stop holding your breath, stid

ii had lovely island white sangria tonight. can i whip you up a bacth? it's very tropical

mhmmm. 13
jmc - silly jmc! It uses honey not the bees.
Iwould rather have a cake made of bees than a beehive
ro6/24 then?
i'm sure you did jmc. sometimes we "mistype"
I'll try it out over the weekend and let you all know what we think of it.
je: i can't argue with you about ster-rod
feather add a vowel to the 5 above it
ro 6/24 -- add a vowel to the 5.14
ty
it would be pointless to try TO
jac, you need to figure out a way to send us each a slice!

I could e mail each of you a photo, Dorens.
big bunch of druggies and cheaters in the game

my favorite sign when barry bonds came to RFK to play the nationals was a guy behind me which said "Barry, I made this sign by mistake"
co 5/22 is a past tense. need more help on that?

doren, my mon used to buy beehive cake at B & W
and done!
big red, bovine + past tense ending
co 5/22 -- frightened into submission
big red - 'made afraid'. Or milk giver in past tense.

Well done, feather.

i am down to one word now.. and it s kicking my butt

whoo hoo dorens
bye, feather and wtg, doren!
YAY doren!
you too! *poof*
TO - the bumble bee cake? No, I don't think so. I think it's almonds and honey etc.
stiddie that was when th4 invited my husband not to continue in an education career at evergreen
bye feather
yes jacs, i do remember the honey and almonds, but i seem toremember custard too
really jmc? I am glad they are encouraging us to experience different school environments. I am pretty sure I am happy to be choosing anything BUT an urban high school!
he was sent to a rural HS and the coach threatened to kill him
but those were different days
stid - I read a funny thing about high school last week in a short story written by a retired teacher. She thought she saw a wall frieze made up of the school's youngest intake but, in reality, it WAS the school's youngest intake squashing themselves up against the corridor wall in order not to be squashed by the Charge of Year 7 (5th formers) to their next lesson.
(early 70s)
just as well, he was an inspired criminal trial attorney
honey and almonds and custard in one cake would be heavenly!!!
find that cake and please bring it here next week owl!
Please don't take me back to the 70s, jmc. They were the best of times, despite all the power cuts and the strikes here in UK.
well i will check to see if they still make it and bring one
that would be sooo cool
or i can make a sour cream choclate chip beer cake
beer?
th4 were terrible time here
scrabs might not eat it
70's = disco. yuk
that was mid 70s dorens
but then again, I did give birth to two very cool little boys in the 70's
kidding.no time to bake.
Depends who the Dj was, Dorens.
crossy shovels another layer of dirt over disco;0
I bought a house and founded a credit union= Houston Area Feminist Federal Credit Union
true- i was listening to a lot of Traffic then
I had my kids in the 80s.
let me help crossy
my son was born in 85
a bank call the feminist federal credit union?? lol
that's cause you're just a wee bairn jac... and jmc. i am the old lady here
fireworks
My son born 84 and my daughter 87.
Stomps on dirt shoveled over disco really hard ..
no a credit union call the HAFFCU
yay owlers
whoo hoo TO
whoooo hooooo TO!!
Well done TO.
Yay TO!
16 left for me
well done tor and crossy
go for it torg!
hi torg
torg obviously has no idea about the great rock and reggae in 70s here in UK.
(but I did like the sparlking spinning ball)
now if the yankess could just manage not to strand anmore and stop running the bases with their heads up their rears...
of course i finished school wearing bell bottom cords and platform shoes with the big toes
my the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptible in thy sight over I
Rock and reggae and other 70's music was good .. disco BAD
early pink floyd!
jacs, if you check my profile, i have the website for the station in there. there was a lot of traffic, zep, and beatles ont hat countdown
oooo zep!
in the 70,s i was listening to cream,supertramp,floyd boston,stampeders ,frampton lol
crossy, i got married in white wool bell bottoms! :-)
but come to think of it not a lot of the who. should have been more
torg - 'disco' here in UK at the time, meant a hall with kids, a deejay, a glitter ball, some moving oily wall pics, music and dancing.
and a little simon and garfunkle to be mellow
the stones were still good in the 70's
i still have the platform mens shoes,i put them on for my kid when he was a little guy and he called me disco stu lol
maybe crosby still nash and young
lol@ crossy
indeed
lots of dylan, too
true the stones were goof then
never enough who
remember when 'bridge over troubled waters' went gold in 70? lol
james taylor too and procol harum ( i loved salty dog).. clapton
crossy - did you have an 80s style white suit on?
ive seen fire and ive seen rain...
I gave my son the who op5 Tommy video
Disco in the US was much different .. Processed formulaic all sounds the same ONLY good for dancing ..
The 70s was a great musical period.
otis redding-- crosby stills, nash and young... buffalo springfield.. judy collins. leonard cohen
i saw JT in august.. still seeing fire and rain
i kept my head down till they were over..80,s = the nuclear wasteland of music
my neighbors played disco day and night and I could only hear the beat which EXACTLY the same on each song
*But the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war* still relevant
I dated a guy who would sing like a bridge over troubled water making it clear that he was jesus incarnate and Ishould respect him
won't get fooled again
eventully became a methodist minister
listen children to a story,that was written long ago,bout a kingdom on a mountain and the vally far below..lala
So, what did you in USA call a youth club dance in the 70s? We called it a 'disco', throwback to the 60s from the French 'discotheque'.
we saw simon and garfunkle in philadelphia in early seventy
ooh crossy, i LOVE the big eighties sound!
cat stephens!
s at the end of the concert they sang bridge over troubled water before it had come out.. and it blew us all away!!!!
loved trafiic, early beatles, the who, the doors and creedence
you saw them do it for the first time in concert? that must of been something
Dancing was uncool for a while ..
Dorens - I've heard that version, but the single with echo and orchestra was so much better.
they might have been doing it at all concerts on that tour.. but it hadn't been released yet and it really was a surreal experience
of that im sure
well we thought we were dancing but we were so stoned who could say for sure?
yes jac it was... but still-- it was just sooo different
now i have to fire that song up;))
ahem not all of use were stoned
kind of like when the beatles did a day in the life? just another dimension you hadn't ever expected
sorry je.
Won;t Get Fooled Again is the theme tune for most of us WHOve sen 50s,60s,70 and beyond.
well not all of the time anyway
ROFL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYKJuDx Yr3I
stoned??? us???
lol 79 to 83 is a haze for me;/
The Beatles, had they been given the chance to be heard and not hystrically screamed at, were one of the most innovative bands of all time. They stopped playing live for the simple reason that they put so much into the music making and it couldn't be heard over the screaming.
help with the fe 5/20 and 5/16 pls (and don't say small hill because I can't understand that clue)
someone said "here,try this" and whammo it was 1983:/
ok, thanks crossy... thought it was early 70;s..must hav ebeen 1969
almost like time travel it was lol
lol crossy I was more of an . . . .entrepreneur and didn't like to use up the profits
fe5/20 = what a dog does to something you throw ..
80's - liked Roxy Music, Gary Numan, Queen still (though they were late 70s starting as was Roxy).

sharing the love of music is a joy dorens
paul is dead paul is dead paul is dead
unfortunately, john and george are
bridge ove troubled water was # 30
#30 what?
Torg - that's not true. I know that because I am related to one of the band members.
Why do you think Paul was fake, btw?
that was the earliest original..this is the polished version we all know from 1970...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSy9Jb 9QmsQ
all i know is it dumbfounded us.. .never heard anything like that before and it was shimmering beautiful
I'm just stirrin' the pot ..
jacs: becasue he had no shoes jacs,remember?
the abby road album jac there was a whole conspiracy theory based on the fact that paul was barefooted on the cover
think ill look for some 'captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboys" next lol
Well stopit, Torg, 'cos you're talking to a member of the family.
th4 if you played the album backwards it would say:number 9 number 9 and th4 paul is dead paul is dead
Crossy - Elton John, I loved. But that wasn't one of my fave albums.
jmc - that was John's idea of a joke.

Father Christmas/Santa Claus becomes less and less 'pc' as time goes on. The song I just posted says 'the bearded weirdie's just arrived''. On the one hand we tell our kids not to trust strangers, but, on one night a year they're not supposed to scream like hell if some old bloke in weird clothes with a long white beard suddenly appears in their room and startss creeping around.
*fwapata fwapata*
All the magic's gone!
pssst. hey jac. jmc got fireworks a bit ago!
lol jm
whoo hoo jac *waves madly*

*poof*
Congratulations featherbee on fireworks! Good for U
Well, crossy, you're alrady talking to the gal of a trucker...
lol
Heck, this is beginning to sound like Long Black Veil, or that awful country song about the little girl going out to find her daddy, only to get run over and killed by a truck.
evening all ;)
Hi Pink. Crossy is trying to reach the hard heart of a trucker's moll right now.
really? he's lost?
Hello Pinikula!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

He's losing, PInk. LOL

# Ever heard of the wooden car with wooden wheels and a wooden engine? # It wooden run
Thank you, crossy! That's more like it.
( going to dive into the grid to try and finish before flip, so brb )
Groan, BR!
Big line of beautiful trucks - no better sight in the trucking world, unless you're last in line.
My guy's 'in the office' mostly now, and I know he misses being on the road, and, having trucked with him, I know why.
Nothing like the open road.
lol last song for the night ladies....
http://tinyurl.com/yf9locu
He could possibly get back on the road now, but no chance of me going with him, since we have his daughter to care for now.
3 Dog Night - Mama TOLD you you shouldn't be here, crossy. x
got to love the hair
think not?
mm my bad
I've never got over loving men with long hair phase, unless it looks better short.
Get to bed, crossy!
lol should of seen my hair in 77 or so lol
Don't mak me whip your ar4! You'll love it and your wife will be very anoyed.
gf used to hate me cause i just washed it with the cheapest stuff foing and put it in a pony tail when working
Problem with that, crossy, is that unless it's naturally oily, it will eventually break and go brittle and you'll go bald.
cross, at least u wash it
hi everyone
Hi Andree.

18 left, help with po6 please
Andree, fforgive me for having a go a JC last night, though he wasn't here. I'm still v. annoyed.
po6 sounds like a sulker.
i must ahve missed that jac, was i on chat, must look back and see
howdy andree
Crosy - that song is originally from the late 60s musical Hair. Also one of my fave songs from the time.
po6/33 is po5/20 with extra consonant near the end
i don't care if you have a go at any self rightous and self absorbed bore
Hello Andree!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
if i am being a pain ,just tell me,was a rough day and music soothes me
you are never a pain crossy, not ever
was answering jac
thx min and jac
Andree - he didn't respind to me mentioned one of his tour dates by ofeerering a back stage pass, or even mentioning thaat I'd mentioned it. But, I know his kind of show and I think he was gathering material for it on here. I will get to one of his UK shows, even though I don't like bitchy gay humour, especially the put on sort.
Crossy - keep on with the music! It soothes me, too.
ha ha we could all be in a show!!!
http://tinyurl.com/3ms9gu
As lonmg a you never give me a recipe for rabbit pie or guinea pig en croute, we will be friends, crossy. Anyway, cook that I am, I already have those recipes.
ro6 please

Andree, he was Cat Stevens, then (professional name for Steven Demetre Georgiou), then he became Yusuf ISlam, but I think he's Cat Stevens again now.
Ha! I spent most of my working life working for Kalamazoo.

I remember that we had an Easter hat parade and the song played was Glenn Miller Kalamazoo, and, yet, again, we had to explaain it to our blonde colleague.
Crosss - one big X for you. you're lovely.
I don't thing I am familiar with Kalamas ... how many are at the zoo?
Mary, from Peter, Pauland Mary (Leaving on a Jet Plane fame), from Crossy's last link, recently died.
BR - when I aw the sign for the company, as I child, i AKWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS A ZOO.
Well, that explains it
Aw, haveyou listening to Crossy's last link? He's a romantic old so and so.

Kalamazoo is in Michigan. Our compuiter/business sytems company was started in UK by Quakers and bankrolled by a British family, the Impneys.

congrats, Andree
curmedgeonleyness is one of the degreee courses for being a Babble Elder, BR.
Congratulations Andree on fireworks! Hooray for you
customers are getting rolled at banks all the time here
Well done, Andree.
David Impney, one of the last in the line of the famil that owned the firm, bought my Frech fame tent andaccesories from me. That marked the end of my camping life.... until I met Beloved some 20 yeaaars later. To read about that, get me to invite you to my private blog, or just use your imagination.
Does anyone else need any more clues before I leave?
I'd better sign out soon, though I am willing to give clues, I'm a lot tired, a bit drunk.
I am a lot OVERTIRED and a bit sober. Off to bed now
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
Well, I guess that's a ZZZZZZZZ from all. Goodnight and ZONK.

hi!
snowed a bit here ...
did it stay on the ground or melt?
in faribanks - it melted
some remains .. 29 F now ... likely will be gone by noon tomorrow
is this an early snow for you?
We do not get snow so I would not have any idea
not really ... the snow is okay; so is the cold; it is the wind that cuts through
that makes sense BR
