hmmphh it won't take hebrew

hi, Just
dc, I did see the potholes and alerted fouperdu to it (and you)
hi Dee! hi DC!
there's a brand of beer here called HeBrew
i got that link from FB, i guess it was from you :">
lol DC...how totally American! giggle
what's next sheBrew?
perhaps WeBrew
hi justy :)
for a six pack. I have such a deal...(in yiddish)
hiya jilli!
He'Brew makes a Genesis Ale and a Messiah Gold
Oh, clever, dc!
Lol dc...how totally American! jk
how about "part the sea dark ale "
Marketing in the USofA is an artform
There was a Jewbelation Twelve
LOLOL
guess that could work ru, seeing as they have India Pale Ale (here at least)
lolol dc keeps getting better and better
etch
good clue ruru
*ignore that*
All this word play is something I missed in Quebec -- no English allowed and the French wasn't fun
Part the Sea IPA, it has potential for The Chosen Beer, yes
meh gimme sometin I don't have
LOL jilli
ty ru
lolol
I'm not missing anything jilli and I'm still here in La Belle Province
betcha is so a word
chacun à son gout, justy
betcha it's not! (maybe it's betchya?)
tr 7 x 2
not a matter of taste...I live my life in English and I thrive with word play....
except now...with no lickety and slowed to a crawl if not a complete stop
missing one 7; I have fl; la; ra; tr x 2 anyone have the last one?
I don't have any 7s, lol!
only have the ra
th's cuz u chttn
crap.. I only have two dee sorry
here are the e's just if that will help you: ech 4; en 4; en 4; et 4; ey 4, 4, 4, 4
sigh only 1 dee the fl
cuz I don't see biggies, dee, until much later
thx dee but I have all the e's
I understand th4 jili; I always start little and move up or til they are called in chat... takes a bit for my eyes to "see"
at least it's only your eyes dee....me, it's my brain
fl7
LOL
thanks for the e's VolleymomDee
yqw
hi anike
oo now got 2 ...the ra thx dee
at last, NBT
yw
wtg flosey :)
finally found that lower e
ooo now the la thx dee :)
go just goooo
the la was a guess...never heard or saw that before
that's the one I'm missing, flosey :(
any stats for the lower E, flosey?
think ocular jilli
one of the 4's, but don't remember which one jili... ey 4..
shortened version of a country
ey4/6
I have 3 ey4s -- not from that e
do the 2 tr7's come from the same T, dee?
try en 4/4 or en 4/8
yes
must be I'm missing one from the left lower e
thx
e + opp of later
Hi jill - I've been away for a while
I have those, dee
ec 4/6 looks like voice reverberation but change last vowel
I have all the left lower Es
guess my clue was off base
my only missing E is the ver bottom one in the middle. Can't think of an abbreviated country
thought you needed one of the lower e's too....good clue dee
ah, where's Haz from?
Northern Ireland, flosey
there are four ey 4's
that e is ey4 you can spell both by switching 2 last letters around
does that help jilli
I thot I listed all the e's; I believe there are 8 of them: ec 4; en 4; en 4; et 4; ey 4, 4, 4, 4
I must be very thick but no, it doesn't help!
so sorry if I missed one earlier jili
I'm obviously missing an ey
yes
continue that angle and drop
they are 2 sets of anagrams
well, 2 pairs of anagrams
4 ey's....2 contain an n and 2 contain and r...switch around last 2 letters of each
oh, got it -- if you'd only said "Jane . . ."
phantom trachea
fishslap for me!
ah yes, didn't think of Jane
103 down with nbt -- time to quit for the night :)
Jetson? ;)
I am missing one n... I have no 4, 5, 4, 5, 5... anyone have the other.... wtg jili!!!! no fishslapping when we don't have lickety LOL
skdjaskdjaksdj askjdsakjd

that lone word off that I is driving me crazy lol
really, mel?
last one for NBT
NBT
is it a fish?
wtg jilli
there is a fish in the grid
well done, jilli
it doesn't do anything, mel
I got that one =) mean little thing from Japan
that's the one, mel

ha 7
ty so much, anike.. got it
YW Aloy
that's a nice ha 7, ty, anike
wtg mel!
there's a nurse like that ha7, too
oy opened up more words to seek out the 2nd tr7 and it crashed my whole computer :(
think it's time for a reformat, sigh :(
oh, got that nice ha7!
I don't see either tr 7
neither do I ruru
they're not words you hear every day
one ends with double vowel
the other goes in the other direction
if you change the first vowel of the windpipe word, you will be on the right tract
one is tr vowel then ***e Guevera
I got that one.. don't see the other
so very sorry had to reboot
lol dee morewords crashed my puter too
ru, last 2 letters opposite direction
neither do i ru nor the ha yet
the tr7 I just found is a poetic term
thx flosey got it
I think morewords did it to me, too just; so glad it wasn't just me
what is the count please on the ha 7?
ha7 is a sleeping drug that is now illegal I think
ha 7/44
something was very strange about it tonight...was trying to scroll the page and it wouldn't
well, I guess I'll stay away from morewords for now!
not sure if I should go there again
was just wondering same thing just... ty rb
I'm using morewords, but it does seem a bit jumpy somehow
ah, got the other tr7 -- ty flosey :)
ty good to know rb
thank you flosey.. got them both now.
love ya!
ohh thx for the ha7 :)
those ha***** days.....

how are you fuquay?
g'day yanks
hi josh are you down under?
good, except awake too early. how about you, west, and josh
my sleep schedule may be down under, but i'm in raleigh, west
phone rang at 4:00 was the airline calling to tell my husband his 9 a.m. flight was cancelled
raleigh's a good place to be josh
bummer about the flight, west. was he able to get something else?
yes, they're putting him on a 10 a.m. flight but he'll miss most of the meeting he was going down to DC for
such is life lol
oh nuts. airlines are such a pain these days.
I know. nice of them to call though
not fun getting a call that early
Hello all you early risers
hi lyn haven't been to bed yet but that's par for the course for me
I know -- it always feels like it must be something terrible when the phone rings in the wee hours like that
my phone is often turned off when i'm sleeping. i just don't deal with the phone when i'm out
hi lynxxx
good idea josh they called his office phone, the land line and his cell they were determined to get through lol
Clues are up
well, i imagine i'd rather know a flight was cancelled ahead of time than not
TY Lickety
thank you I was just thinking about you
thanks again today, lickety
jumping in see you all later
your welcome lynxx! and everyone else!
seeya West (cute photo!)
Thank you, Thank you lickety where would we be without you lol
Good morning/day Babble buddies!
Oh, quite a gap in the chat log. Where is everybody?
Good morning Scrabbs. How was your trip?
It was fun--many laughs and great Scrabble games, both with my sister and the Babble gals.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I hope you took lots of photos?
nrkii has them on her FB page
Morning Scrapbs and Jacs I saw some pics of the meet in Dorens profile (Ithink it was). So great to put faces to names!
good morning babblers :)
Not sure if she's on my FB list, Scrabbs. What's her name there?
Hi FM & Nono. Do I look anything like you thought?
Morning FM and Nono.
not at all the way I pictured you Scrabs
LOL no Hi Nono
Pudgy little lass, aren't I?
i wouldn't say that
I imagined you as fair haired for some reason
Really? Interesting, FM.
yes so did I
the one thing I did get right was glasses though :)
It's fascinating how we imagine someone before we meet them.
not real blond but sort of a dark ash blond
Ah, yes, Dr Four Eyes here, since age 13.
yes Nono exactly
I didn't think you were blonde. Always thought you'd look a bit like Stid. I'll know when I get to see the pics. LOL
i i i i here too :)
Nope, dark brown, although I could bleach my hair for you just to take some photos.
Haha, FM
nrkii has them in her flicker pics on profile here
:)
I am cousins with Stid's husband and I look just like my father who is the older bro of his dad.
Unfortunately, nrkii's not on line right now.:(
Neither is Dorens.
find her name in the rankings list jac
Check their FB pages
Good idea, Nono. I'll do that when I've finished the grid. (14 to go.)
grid? grid? Oh yes, how is it today?
good morning everyone
how is the grid this miserable morning?
Morning jacq
grid not too bad today
heya FM
ty Nanette
Hi jacq
heya scrabbler
I am just getting intimate with the grid
There has to be a joke there somewhere but I can't think of one ;)
lol
Morning jacq.
this is the second grid ina week with no 8's or 9's
heya Jac
It is supposed to be funny, I guess. We do have to really get to know the grid in order to find the words
weather crappy with you then jacq? Its mild today and not raining - yay!
it's wild and windy and wet here, and bloomin cold
urgh, we had that a couple of days ago. Can tell the autumn is here my face needs twice as much moisturiser as usual.
or maybe that is an age thing ;)
it feels more like winter here, the wind is biting
Ditto re the moisturiser, FM.
no our skin needs more moisturisers in colder windy weather
More lip balm needed, too.
...and hand cream.
God I clap on Nivea about 4 times a day on my lips. LOL yes re hand cram too.
*cream even
Jacs, just occured to me that you and I are babbling and reasonalbe hour, nice to see you in the daylight.
I was a Nivea girl for about 35 years, then switched to BioOil, good stuff
Hello all
*grins at FM* I don't usually chat at this time, but I'm usually here.
Hi Lynxxx
Hi lynxxx.
Greetings lynxxx Nivea for the lips and their intestive moisture cream with jojoba oil and Vit e for the rest.
bloody Look up bloody at Dictionary.com O.E. blodig, adj. from blod (see blood). It has been a British intens. swear word since at least 1676. Weekley relates it to the purely intensive use of the cognate Du. bloed, Ger. blut). But perhaps connected with bloods in the slang sense of "rowdy young aristocrats" (see blood) via expressions such as bloody drunk "as drunk as a blood.
Ack I can't type (as usual)
hello BR lol
Well, thank you and hello BR!
Morning BR.
and now I find out bloomen is a euphemism for bloody
LOL
Hello
Usually 'blooming/bloomin'/blummin' here in UK, BR.:-)
I got my mouth washed out with soap and water for saying bloody - a long long long time ago. lol
oh yuck
lol
Also 'ruddy', BR. As in what's that ruddy woman doing now?
Hi BR.
Hello
and ruddy also means a red hue (face or otherwise), ain't words grand!
Yep, FM.
Long ago, my parents had a tile floor installed in the kitchen ... the contractor said the floor could be cleaned with a damp cloth ... Mom told me to clean the floor. "Where's the damn cloth," I said. Not long later I was spitting bubbles.
I'm not the only one then
Oh how funny! but not for you at the time I guess.
I got a smack round the ear for swearing. The soapy mouthwash I got was for biting my fingernails. (It worked!)
BR - oh dear! They should have washed your ears not your mouth.
I laugh now too. At the time I kept on saying that is what the guy said!
Kids often get words wrong because they can only relate to what they know. So, I guess you'd heard 'damn' before and not 'damp'.
FIREWORKS!:-)
Congrats Jacs
phone, back in a bit.
I have to go, too, same reason as FM.
Congrats Jac!
wtg jac!!!
Yippee Jacula!
past half way time for a break
be back soon
Anyone still here?
Yep. Just staring aimlessly at the letters
mornin scrabs. i'm here for five minutes
I am up to 56. Hi Doren!

hi Dorens
Good morning

Hi merk
A fair number of words considering there won't be the usual plurals.
Woohoo - got my last 7 - ha7.44
Hi Merk
true merk. and no D either
Bottom lone e anyone? It's my last blank tile.
a fair use of ch, esp. at the end.
en4.8
Yes, Merk, I found a slew like that
Aha, TY, Lynxxx!
And at 70/112 I must get ready for work. Bye all. enjoy the day!

betcha must be slang
good morning - hi dorens how are you feeling?
hi j. better I think.. my voice is deep and throaty... but i don't have the headache.. which was continuous for twelve hours . gotta run now. have a good day
bye Dorens. Hi JBV
hi lynxxx
i started earlier and found 126 words, but i only have about 5 minutes now, will have to finish later
When the grid gets challenging, our noses seem to be in it more, don't they?
much more satisfying, makes up for them being on the small side
I need a very, very small one tomorrow or I won't be here. I'm driving to Michigan in one day ... 850 plus miles.
wow - by yourself?
I'm picking up a cousin enroute. Her father is dying and she can't find a way home. I'd feel terrible if I had the time and didn't offer to take her.
How sad, but how sweet of you to share this time with her
I'm a traveler. I might have to drive back alone ... that will be harder. Hey, my grandson's favorite cat is in the grid. Who'd of thunk.
Be** ?
a root vegetable, my sister is in there, too
a greek letter
Morning eveyone. How are you and how is the grid today?
hi Nef, not too bad
morning, lynxxx. Good the hear if you are talking about either yourself OR the grid! ;-)
ha! didn't even read the first part of yr question but you are right, suitable for both
Merk, That's a long days' drive; but I hope it's a pretty one at this time of year (with the leaves changing and all). I hope the weather is in your favor too.
BBS
And, I broke the chat again. Sorry for causing silence, but time to get ready for work. Hope you all have a great day!
hellloooo
hi jmc.
morning peeps;))
Sure, no that I need to leave, all sorts of people pop in! ;-)
:-) I forgot the chat clock was an hour off from my computer -- thought the chog had been quiet for an hour!
you'r leaving :-(
(that would be "NOW"
:-(
bye nef have a good day
well, I'm supposed to be at work in 45 minutes, wonder if I'll make it now :-)
ah I am waiting to be picked up for a hearing at the Navy Yards myself
(I keep finding *just 1 more word!*)
don't drive too fast nef
you have a good day too!
I do that when I am trying to leave the office to come home! lol
my computer at work is too slow to even think about pulling this up there. I would take forever for the chog to try to load there
why is it so slow? the internet connection or the computer?
I work for a charity and just upgraded to 2 550 mg ROM. THe hard drive is too old for me to add any more memory, and we have to find a really good deal on a new hard drive before I can update that
there is a group that helps charities get extremely good deals on computers and software
I am struggling with remembering the name
nef..i have a spare hard drive,but will only fit computers made in the last 2 years.how old is your computer?
wait a second and I will look at my email
jmc, if you remember it please let me know. Crossy, my computer is so old that the old memory was 250mg and there wasn't any marings on it to tell us that! It has to be at least 10 years old
instead of the older ribbon cabe this hard drive uses ata cable,but is all yours if your computer can take it.it is a 400 gig sata drive
oh..;((
techsoup.org
thanks, jmc! I'll check that out!
I got an amazing deal on brand new dell computers including flat screens
lol,that old computer would have enough juice to spin this drive up im afraid;((
And Crossy, thanks for the kind offer! (I wish I could take advantage of it!)
and got software that is worth $$$$$$$ for $ and $$
would not*
great link jmc;))
it really is crossy -- it has been a life saver for me
ch
Thank you so much! I've bookmarked it and will check it out after clinic today! But right now I HAVE to run! Happy Babbling everybody!
drive safely

hi eva
trying to sneak some work in in between words ;-)
Somewone give me something to laugh at please - having a tough day :(
FM :(:(:( I can't do laughing, but I can do pretty, just putting together a new blog post
:)
can you view this, FM? http://tinyurl.com/ygp6tlm
this is funny http://www.regretsy.com/
hmmm how about the kid who joined the military in because he was having anger management problems with authority figures
LOL EvaN thanks
that left me in stitches for days
Morning, kids. lol, jmc. Nothing cures anger management problems like marching with a gun. Oy vey.
Victoria Wood singing 'Let's do it' http://tinyurl.com/24lqv8
eryone sould look at regretsy, it's an ever so funny blg about the horrors that some people have for sale on etsy
that is wierd Ata but thanks guys - knnew I could count on babble buds to raise me up :)

heh, i love regretsy.
hi judi ata and haz and fm btw

Hello! Listening to Victoria Wood as we speak. It's making me laugh...
loooool Haz and Vic Wood did the trick thanks so much!!
sorry - new to the game - can someone please explain to me how the tile and word stats work - thanks
I knew it!
Being slapped with a Woman's Weekly etc.
sorry still alughing at the clip
Hello hendrik - welcome to babble. The object of the game is to get as many words as possible from the grid. Letters have to touch, be used only once in any word (4 letters or more) and can be used in any direction.
It never fails with me, FM, she's just funny.
sounds simpe eh? lol.and be warned it is a tad addicting..though ive quit many times myself;)
hi hendrik you will find the help section above very helpful too!
thanks Haz1558, but do teh stats help me in any way?
The tile stats reflect the grid, so that first e (top left) indicates that there is one word beginning from e coming from that tile.
didn't know there was the help section - i appreciate it
Welcome to the den of addiction, Hendrik,
you have been warned! mwahahaha
the word stats give you clues as to the length of the words you are looking for too
And if you look further, there are 11 w words to find. As you find the words, the tile stats will keep track, when it turns grey, you've found all the words coming from that tile.
ahhh - that makes sense. and then as i get words it fills in how many i have of that tile?
*undo the buttons on my flameproof nighty! - Had to be heard in contect of the song but LOOOOL
uh oh my screen is acting weird with lines when I move things
thanks all!
Yes, hendrik, you'll see how the whole thing works as you add words. Enjoy the game!
yes hendrik and if you get really stumped you can ask for clues from the assembled crowd
Alas. "Hebrew" is not allowed. Proper noun, I suppose.
thanks so much!
but we do not write the words in the chog
it's a friendly crowd as long as crossy gets his bacon
crossy ponders the fact that some women are so hot they need flame-proof nighties...
Oh, Crossy... you have no idea.
someone said bacon...
*grin* (((crossy)))
Haz in partiuclar, for after her stripping
speaking of which... crossy, chocolate covered bacon? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/260 92641/
mmmm
Blech. Now maple syrup covered bacon is quite another story.
sigh must go to a hearing at the Navy with a Jehovah's witness bbl
im making a bacon weave today ;)

*is super-excited to have Boo Berry cereal for breakfast* just another reason i love halloween. :)
FM - if you still need more laughs, youtube Two Ronnies, Mastermind.
lol, Eva. Sooooo mature.
judi, i have just one thing to say to you: :P !!
I thought it was Frankenberry?
And off I go to make some lunch. Toodle-pip.
I'm so out of the loop on kiddie cereals. I used to love Cocoa Pebbles, though.
Frankenberry + Count Chocula are out year-round. Boo Berry only comes out at halloween. ;)
should be Ghoul Gruel
toodle-pip sounds like a a bad cross breed of 2 dogs of the ankle biter breed;)
(there used to be Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy)
good morning babble friends!
Ah. Valuable information to know.
Hiya, Trif!
howdy trif;))
day got off to a rather grisly start - hoping for improvement!
anyone have clues for the 7s? i have one: add sometimes vowel to the fl 6, fl 6 is what you grow in a garden that is not fruits or vegetables.
There's an Ha7, mkg.

great clues! got tow words because of that
hey, hendrick :-)
mkg, la5 is a way to keep the door closed
got the la. not the ha though. clue for that would be great.
ha5 rhymes with la5
HA7 doesnt rhyme with RA7 and LA7, does it?
nope
nope and i don't have it :-)
i thought not. :)
hey, ata and eva :-)
hints for the E or N words from the bottom row?
mornin une :)
no4 xmas
Ha7: means peaceful - also a type of kingfisher.
ha7 is the scientific name for the kingfisher!
no5 a no5 in his belt . . .
what are first 5 of ha word? it is not the word i have. i have what chicks do from eggs: when they break out they ha***.
dont know the ha word.
what is kingfisher? type of fish?
oohh, it's also a drug
*dies*
mkg, first three letter are the name of the computer in 2001 A Space Odyssey
*letters
Someone please shock Ata back to life.
*gently shaking ata's shoulders*
gee can i recall that.....ok i do. but then what? i went to dict. and dont see it
ha7 -- often seen as "happy" days of yo4,6
There's a lovely article on Kingfishers in the latest edition of National Geographic.
Come back, Shane . . . er, Ata!
kingfisher is a bird. but dont see in dict.
*splutter gasp*
mkg, did you see jimmel's clue?
and she's back -- wahoo!
It's a miracle!
deep breaths, ata . . .
ok, 65 to go and must run -- BBL -- happy babbling!
bye Une!
crossy love national geographic magazines,but they are way too expensive here $44.00 plus tax for 12 issues
Yoiks, Crossy. I think it's available as an online subscription. Wonder how much that is?
that's less than $4 per issue, seems like a good deal to me when you see the price of other mags
i suppose your right bonkler;0
costs $4 an issue to learn about David Beckham's latest diet or whatever
NG is worth it, Crossy.
great Christmas present ... year's subscription
Wow. My left ear is ringing and buzzing like crazy right now. Are you guys talking about me?
would we do that?!
Kidding. I've had a pulsation in my left ear for quite some time now. Seems to be getting worse. Going to see Doc about it again tomorrow. He thinks it's from some medication I take. MRI was negative last March. Just annoying, really.
just read a interesting report on how to salvage info from a blown hard drive by replacing the logic board;)
hello everyone!
annie!:))
Hi, Annie!
i had that pulsing sensation in my right ear several years ago judi,turned out to be a minor ear infection
dont know happy days. sorry. not getting it.
Judi, I had the same and it was as crossy's says.
Hmm. We'll see. I think I'll ask for a referral to an ear/nose/throat doc.
Good idea.
good plan judi
Hearing is fine, no pain. I'm sure it is something minor.
and its amazing how inner ear issue can affect balance,nausea,headaches etc
anyone have clue for ha 5 before the 7?
back again ... no that far yet mkg
just started here
I'm off for a bit. Will bbl to finish the last 18. *POOF*
the ha7 is the first ha...
later, judi
calm; peaceful; tranquil: halcyon weather. rich; wealthy; prosperous:
into the penalty box for me
I meant to give the meaning of the ha 7. 1st meaning: calm; peaceful; tranquil 2nd. meaning: rich; wealthy; prosperous
Merk, thanks!
I put chocolates in the PB for you.
maybe mkg will get it now :P
It's a bit tricky to clue, isn't it?
Yes, I could not figure out a clue for it.
just came back from the kitchen and hi Haz
Hello Annie, Merk and everyone.
hints for the E in the bottom row?
hello again!
Rochester's Jane.
Hello Ata!
Hi All. Good clue Haz.
should I give you an interesting bog fact for the day?
Hello hego, thanks!
Yes, let's hear it, Ata.
well, dang. thought id tried that already... thanks haz!
yes, please
Is this peat bogs again? Sure , go ahead
No problem, EvaN!
hello hego
Hi annie
It's going to be a long and interesting fact, judging from the time it's taking her to type it.
actually, I think I've run out of interesting things to say about Northern Ireland's peat bogs LOL
I was trying desperately to think of something!
You can't do that to us! We're all agog!
ok *thinks some more*
don't get bogged down
Just when I was getting interested. lol
You could tell us anything and we'd know no better than to believe you.
Bog oak, have you anything to say about bog oak?
coral
>>>>>>off to the PB for you, hego
there's only 2% left of the original area in NI thought to have been covered with bog. There
Uh oh. My bad. Got to watch where that cursor is. Sorry.
nope, I have absolutely nothing to say about bog oak LOL
Bog asphodel, maybe
Quickly, google bog oak and hold forth.
It's a kind of unexpected by-product of the peat bog after the peat has been harvested.
the scientific name for bog rosemary is Andromeda
The timber has been preserved and is used by sculptors and craftsmen to make rather wonderful pieces. It probably costs a fortune because you can't just buy bog oak off the shelf at B and Q.
ohhh - didn't know it had a proper name! cool!
This all very interesting.
I'm telling you, Annie, you never know what you'll be finding out on babble.
Haz, As I have found much to my delight and sometimes not.
Yes, it can be a mixed pleasure sometimes.
*makes a note to google bogs later*
I'm wondering if Ata's being inspired by googling bog oak.
She hasnt been heard from in some time.
Ata, did you make the polenta yesterday?
I know. It's worrying, especially as she had to be revived earlier on.
no, shes trying to coax Access to open on my poor old laptop!
*sighs a relieved sigh*
Come on Access - act like your name implies!
and yes I did, ended up making some strange mix of polenta, cheese and olives and a tomato sauce. Was rather odd but very nice!
I am encouraged to try the polenta dish myself. I like the idea of the olives.
Haz, Have you ever made polenta?
It was just a sort of "ok, what do I like? cheese! olives! let's gofor it!"
And did you write down the recipe so you could share it with Annie and eventually send it to Nigella?
Do you think people send recipes to TV cooks saying 'Try this!, it's great!' or do they make them up themselves?
Polenta is one of those "blank canvas" foods. You can put just about anything you like with it.
Annie, I've never made polenta. When you cook in Ireland, if it doesn't have potato in, forget about it.
You Can't go wrong.
I have a box of polenta taking up space in my pantry.
Okay, I exaggerate a bit. We're getting slightly more adventurous with rice and pasta etc.
Potato is my VERY favorite food.
The only bad part is the stirring.
there was very little "recipe" involved
Potatoes are taken very seriously over here.
As they should be.
hello hego... glad to see you here...
Hi Christa
Absolutely, we even make bread using potatoes.
Hello Christa.
good morning everyone...
Hi Christa.
potato bread is yummy
Yes, I have a potato bread.
mmmmm....potato bread....
I'm getteing over my shy now that Judi told me how to get an icon.
I always love the chatterbox when it is about FOOD!
cort
Oooooops
whoops did it again. Glad it's nothing.
shy really isn't very acceptable here
Use the letters but change them round a bit, hego for a to4.
I keep seeing chalcedony in the grid
I don't know. I think shy has its charms.
Hi fellow Babblers!
Hello beach!
but a whole room of shy ppl doesn't led to much intensive and stimulating ch4 logs
Had that ,Haz. Thanks
hello beach
Speaking of bread why do I keep longing for challah today?
This is true, but you need a balance between those who talk a lot and those who talk not at all. And I think shy is okay for people when they've just started and don't really know what's happening and who's who.
well yes ... I was exaggerating somewhat ... :P
new photo blog: http://www.marquista.com/wblog/
I have been here since 2005 and still don't know who's who... but I do love the recipes and book recommendations ;)
That's not like you, Ata. I've never, ever known you to exaggerate.
never ever ever!!!!!1111!!
Christa, you need to get yourself a little card index file with people's names and things on. You can fill it in every night and that way you can keep track.
like Haz does
Yes, but I only fill mine in every other day.
how very lax
No, it's me training my brain to retain information.
(You don't think they believe me, do you?)
so every other day we have to be good in the log ... hmmm ...
we believe your every word
I like the pictures of skydiving on the blog ...ty
Ah, but you see, I can always check the log archives to make sure I haven't missed anything.
I liked the pictures and the writing and I liked the pictures of the dogs as well.
It was fitting that they were there to inspire you all.
yes, it was *lovely* to have the dogs all there. Even Hobbit was there
good morning ladies....
I'm so distractable today. I was on my way upstairs and got diverted by the chat.
Hello ruru, how are you?
Haz! >>>>>>>>to the PB!
mmm.. I think okay...just woke up...
Hi ruru
Hello ruru
You're very on the ball today, Annie.
ruru's so sleepy, I'm sure he didn't notice.
bet he did
So I am. I will probably do the same.
Did you notice, ruru? (say no!)
mm.. not me.. haz is always perfect and never makes mistakes
See!
(lol)
you've got him well trained!
ruru is a perfect gentleman.
I detect sarcasm font
(*charter member of the haz brigade*)
I've always known ruru to be a man of great insight.
Ruru could never use sarcasm font, he always writes in sincerity font.
absolutely! me ...? sarcastic? ..never!
Just like me, ruru, I can spell the word but other than that I'm a stranger to sarcasm.
this is a tough little grid at the end isn't it
(Written in tongue-in-cheek font!)
It takes a bit of working at, ruru.
*** muffles giggles ****
Ithink so ruru. No vowels
Okay, I'm going to force myself to get on with some other things. Be well!
*gone*
Bye Hazel
bye haz...
I haven't a clue as to where to go with some of these letters.
go west
was going to add the young man part, but didn't seem to fit ; )
thanks for the hint kje..
good morning 127 to go

Hi science... merck

can someone clue the ch 6/33?
we 6/30 ---think Oscar Meyer
not yet ruru
thanks annie, that's one of the words I almost always miss!
My brain is so slow, I didn't even see the cardinal direction!
dont have it, ruru
don't hav it
i wish i were an oscar meyer we6, that is what i truly want to be....
really fast african cat. ch6
cuz if i were an oscar meyer we6, everyone would be in love with me
mmmm.....hot dogs....
ch 6 = fastest land mammal
that was the cutest kid in that commercial, wonder what happened to him
ch + vowel + he is at my ***k and call.
can anyone clue the bottom center e?
thank you merk
ty for the snack cat!
thanks, merk!
Hi Babblers : ch + "R**el without a Cause" + I r**kon I like split peas and ham soup better than tomato soup
jane ey4
ahoy aloy!
how about that top e????
Merk, you thought of a better clue and faster too (-:
howdy kje!
ty
Merk thanks a lot. Never would have gotten that.
Hi Aloy, youre in the grid today
e4-a-sketch
which top e, geek?
that is not the top corner e
top corner left looking at grid
I'll take that compliment b/c usually I don't clue well. I tried to clue the ha 7 and ended up giving out the word and sitting in the penalty box. Duh!
ec4-a-sketch
lol merk!
the reverberating sound with different end vowel
do it again merk!
do it do it do it
e + ***ster Arthur, former Pres
Top left corner e is not the sketch toy
Look in the chat log. I'm too embarrassed to do it again.
that's for the top corner E
sorry aloy dont get it
sounds the same, geek - one is et4, one is ec4
aloy gave a good clue
ty got it
now, for the bottom center e????
I need one of the two cr 6/21 I have the corn on the cob sounding one? the other?
lots of e issues
brb, hole in my coffee cup!
cr6 - what a bird is... a big black bird
wondering about the cob sounding one though
phantom cherub
that is a different cr 6 kje.. thanks anyway
lots of phantoms cherub cheetah crowbar webchat
cr6 - cr + vowel + bad girl in little house?
If you are on your soapbox, you are on a cr***. Take off the last vowel and put on a 2 letter preposition.
little house on the prairie i mean, think nrkii's profile pic
HUH??
i am so lost on the cr clue.....
Look at mine carefully.
cr + vowel + little house brat ***l
well i dont know the soapbox clue....i have the flue and am not too with it today
It's a small wooden box that holds fruit.
ok ty rhymes with the waxy colors we used in kindergarten to make pretty pictures for mama
comes in a large box - some people are short one to make a full box like me today
aw, sorry to hear that geek.. be well soon!
You got it!
think i need the list 99 left
anybody know what that word means?
"a part of the earth's crust" hego
With the flu you definitely may use the list. That's one of the rules.
it is a geological term for a part of the earth's crust
What a bright group! I'm impressed.
i want to be in my bed instead of at work!
i see eyore
Yes, I saw him right away.
if you have the flu, you SHOULD be in your bed and not at work.... to avoid spreading it
well, piglet make me sick
I am loving that -tch
yep, using it a lot too merk
teachers should be among the first to get the vaccination
Have to do some work now. bbl
bye, hego
first wave is children under 4 and emergency responders
I know! I see that they want children and health care workers first, but seriously, what about us???
that makes sense, kje
Teachers are in the front lines each day
but teachers are not highest risk for death.... the children are
not knowing little house on the prarie.. I am stilllost on that second cr 6/21
and, then you have to put up with the kids who come to school with fevers. that is why i am ailing
first responders always must be first, otherwise, they are all too sick to treat others
ruru i only have one cr 6 so far
ruru - her name was nell
agreed, but teachers need some priority as well
science - I am a doc, and I am in the third wave.... that should tell you something
I have that cr need the other
that you all were in the first wave being first responders
I only have 2, ru - sorry
kje I am in Texas also. Just looked at your profile, I am taking the recipe! YUM
I work in the hospital - the hope is that they will be masked in the ED when they come in - ED is first responder, I am second
ruru the other rhymes with the waxy colors children use
cr + **omic energy + opposite of OFF
I thought the benefit of a mask was to keep your hands away from your mouth.. aren't virus particles too small to be screened by a mask?
no - they make respiratory masks
flu is spread by droplets... so it is droplet precautions
oh.. wow. I was using the e instead of the other vowell.. thank you erda and aloy
I am making that recipe this weekend for friends kje with no vino in it.
Well, i have a mild case. got the reg flue shot.
th 5,12 please
interesting, I see now.. the droplets are the vectors
you're welcome
ty erda
kje, are 10 year olds at great risk from the H1N1 virus?
hope you enjoy it ru - I will make some this weekend also - made stcok already
the most likely scenario for a 10 year old is a usual crappy several days of flu symptoms

how's the grid today? I am NOT writing my paper for now, will play with it tonight.
hey stid!
hey science -- feeling any better?
hi stid
clue for wr 5(8) please
about 40% came to work because the principal was witchy to me yesterday
golly gee. sorry to hear that, science.
makes me angry. i am never out and teach all summer
janus dont have it yet
I suppose you don't have a union to help you
janus, more deadpan, sounds like a grain related to wheat
not sure which one you want janus, wr 4 is a birdie, wr 5 rhymes with what comes after the washer
thanks for the bird, hadn't seen that yet.
done
good for you ursh!
YAY ursh!!!!
yayayay ursh!!!
thanks everyone
up to 64, need one more for NBT
yay stid
do you know if the E in the bottom row is fishy or babblets?
babblety. NVM! LOL
NBT and heading for halfway before class. unless folks show up for discussions.
a fishy babblet
thanks anyway kje. *big grin*
I think that re + in5 should be a word. For example, after you dispose of the zombie, you re..... it!
ha 7?????
lol stid, i do that with my cats all the time!
ha7 days
really? *looking for ha 7*
alt sp
dont get it
thanks harp! how's music going these days? our boys' first concerts of the year start this week at one school, next week at the other and then a joint concert Nov 8.
it means "happy, blessed" it's greek
uno
go kje go!!!!
wasn't there a drug called ha7?
I"m just starting to get Christmas requests. I'm not satisfied unless I am practicing christmas music by Halloween!
my niece is directing a bell choir and I'm playing O Holy Night with them
done
wow harp, that's pretty late planning!
I turned down my last client last week for programming work because though he knew I was going to be in grad school this year he waited this long to request changes to his pages! I am too busy, and advised him to find another person.
YAY kje!!!
yep, its triazolam
a benzo... similar to valium... what a funny name... marketing is so annoying
sometimes I have to start practicing in the summer, church musicians are sort of like retailers or crafties. They are pretty much all done with Halloween and are looking to Thanksgiving and Christmas now
cannt see your greek thing
triazolam? is that a sedative?
give me the third letter pls
science - trade name of triazolam, google it
yes, a sedative, anxiolytic
ah. I hadn't realized they grabbed such a nice word for a drug.
yes it's what that milwaukee killer used to sedate his victims in the 80's
milawaukee killer? I guess we didn't hear about that one out here (or I was too wrapped up being adolescent to notice)
drug naming is a huge field ... paxil, antidepressant, from word for peace
ty got it.
viagra - come on!
ha. got another 7, a poetry rhythm
hadn't made that connection before kje, but it sure fits!
sildenafil just doesn't have the same appeal as viagra
you heard about him, i'm sure, i just can't think of his name. i was addicted to court tv during his trial, which was ghastly
*grin* I don't think viagra has much appeal, to be honest!
beauty agent restalyne - equivalent to beauty rest... they pay big bucks to see which names appeal
viagra - sounds youthful, vibrant, strong....
my new fave drug company marjeting ploy is "hypotrichosis"... giving a medical diagnosis to thin eyelashes
brilliant
okay, gotta go. classmates are here. thanks for the conversation!
(((hugs all))) *pink*
hagd stid
the second cr6 please?
viagra is great:)) up to 24 hours...err..what do i do with the other 23 hours and 55 min? lol
cr + vowel + little house on prairie brat ***l
avoid stimulation
lol
dang, i should have been watching little house instead of Court TV....
nrkii's icon pic, harp
im not even sure its in rerun now harp
or gimme a break's ***l carter
and seeing micheal landon cry every 45 seconds was a bummer nayways lol
that is all the ***l's I know
piglets friend is in here;)
another fave marketing gimmick - social anxiety disorder
see/ now im all anxious bout the 24 hyours and 55 min,now i need a prozac
but my all time fave... restless legs syndrone.... this was actually a disorder named by the drug companies... we have a drug, lets create a catchy name that will stick in the public's mind
aaaahhh!!! just picked a japenese (ladybug lookalike) beetle out of my shirt, yuck! Damn things are everywhere the last couple of days. Hi, all!
truly brilliant - they should all win awards
hi rbud
are restless legs anything like happy feet?
in the summer time our cats take care of the lady bugs rbud,crunchy and full of protien it seems
but if you squish them, they stink - can't imagine they taste very good
hi crossy i am still oinking
i can think of lots of worse bugs than lady bugs
my cats also love spiders,so no acounting for taste i suppose
wanna trade?
howdy science
thanks, finally got it
pametto bugs, say
hello
just giant cockroaches
you must not have them, kje, they are awful, and not real ladybugs - I hear these things are starting to breed the real ones out of existence.
we dont get cockroaches here,so you cats have not tried one
hey phaeton! are you stillin Rock port?
cats love those huge palmetto bugs - like a toy
thankfully, they mostly stay outside in trees unless they get starved for water
rbud,we had the jap version about 5 years ago(you can tell by the nuber of spots) but our indigenous vesrsion seems to have won out
and the whole south side of my library (where I work, and where the door is, of course) is blanketed with them, have to fight them off to get in.
i hate in when they get into the house and fly across the room at night!
I cannot get my shoe off quickly enough
no SG...not doing Rockport this winter
i thought you were here
rbud...where are you?
science - when did those things learn to fly... I do not remember flying ones as kids, I swear the suckers are evolving
SG...normally we would be, but are going to NC to take care of our daughter and her family
north central Illinois here
We moved here from Seattle in 73 - they were flying then!
Phae _ must have missed a chog or two! Is she doing okay?
good, rbud...i'll send all our japanese beetles there
maybe i was just a lucky kid then
Lived in Daytona Beach for awhile, I know about those palmettos, oh, yes. And their smaller buddies, ewww.
ok, just googled, that japanese beetle looks nothing like a lady bug
SG...she is undergoing chemo for Hodgkins lymphoma...doing well, but needs help with daily chores and with the girls
They are brown with spots...not a ladybug at all!
I am sorry. I thought that was finished.
but must say, still not as creepy as a roach
No...she's only had two months of treatment. They are doing a PETscan next week to see what progress has been made, but she says the lymphnodes have shrunk so that is a good sign
good to hear phae
heck, I thought all the japanese beetles WERE here, lol! Oh, I see they are calling them "Asian lady beetles" in some articles
Prayers for her!
Those beetles were accidentally let out about 10 years ago. They were studying them to use against the gypsy moth
Ty SC and kje...we are very hopeful for her
Clue for the O? need one for nbt
science - checking ou the website - some cute earrings
the first la5?
ty i am needing to update the site - lots has soldin the past few weeks
can I make a suggestion... you need a "view all" button... clicking through 10 pages of necklaces is annoying
what site SG?
omg - 26 pages of earrings to scroll and click!
seriously - view all - we are a lazy bunch
i have no idea how to make that better in the site. it needs a revamp. i need a geek
ahh...the daughter with cancer sells Lia Sophia jewelry on Ebay
view all....when i started i did not have so much inventory. i know it needs an overhaul sorry
i quit ebay
get a geek
bet one of your students could do it... they know more than we do
you have a strong opinion i see
harp...do you have the door clasp for the la5? don't know if that is the first one or not

"betcha" not a word?
it is in "my" dictionary!
betcha it's not in your dictionary
Unfortunately that just reminded me of Sara Palin, and now I'm depressed. I am sorry I brought it up now .. :(
Sara Palin is not in the dictionary either
and certainly doesn't speak English
She doesn't know what a dictionary is ..
I guess she speaks in PALINdromes
...or is it PALINdrones in her case?
http://www.instantrimshot.com/
drones, definitely
I thought drones were male bees.
only in the case of bees
Mr. See owned a saw. And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw. Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw Before Soar saw See, Which made Soar sore. Had Soar seen See's saw Before See sawed Soar's seesaw, See's saw would not have sawed Soar's seesaw. So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw. But it was sad to see Soar so sore just because See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Mr. See was a blind man who picked up a hammer and saw.
good afternoon - that made me laugh, BR, my mother used to say that many years ago - here's another one: A tutor who tutored the toot/ tried to tutor two tooters to toot./ Said the two to the tutor:/ Is it harder to toot?/ or to tutor two tooters to toot?
Hello, JBV

Black rubber baby buggy bumpers

Hi everybody :) My 1st word was atlatl ( not there)
love that word!
bbl
really--- can't see why ata.
it's cool!
that is a cool word -
hi doren
(was joking... atlatl.. atalante... kind of can't miss the connection there). hi jbv. how are you?
lots of phantoms today - keep trying to enter challah and the sad donkey from winnie the pooh
My daughter took 2nd place in the national atlatl competition a few years ago.
oh! I hadn't thought of that *blush*!
good - had an easy day today - went to a meeting in Trenton, sort of like a day off!
that is cool gramma. (ata, you are joking??)
no!!
oh i keep seeing the donkey too, as well as a very fast cat
meetings are nice, but when i come back from them it seems like the work i left behind has doubled!
take a letter from the fast kitty
the cat is there, doren, just delete a vowel
whoa, thanks, i wouldn't have thought of that
ty for that 1
fireworks here - nice to finish early for a change
yay jbv. i have 76 to go and am falling asleep

lol
:)
Evening all - where did the day go and can someone slow time down for me?
hi fm. i've been trying for years now to figure out how to cram more hours into the day. I know what you mean
Hiya Mitch. Welcome to the Time Tunnell. Everything is suspended... time is of no relevance on Babble whooo=-hooo
Hi Dorens, glad its not just me! Hey soodle
hey, fm!
((TO))
fw.... anyone looking for clues before I go?
Been on such a roller coaster today metaphorically speaking.
no ty doren. hagn
Whats up FM?
NOt for me thanks Dorens hagn.
no thanks doren, have a great evening please
ok then.. getting ready to go out to dinner with red drippy nose... to drink wine or not, that is the question
ohhh always wine
soodle nothing I would burden babble chat with but just nice to be here now with friends.
Thanks anyway, Doren. And yes. Wine is a MUST. Definitly!!
bryer
never really feel like drinking when i have a cold... wine or coffee for that matter. But i'm going with Ken and if I don't drink any he'll probably finish off the bottle himself, so we'll see what happens
(((fmitch))))
Mitch, theres always good ears on Babble - a trouble shared is a trouble halved! (Oh Crikey -I sound like my late mother in law)
HAve a glass for medicinal purposes Dorens :)
my dad always believed in rum for that purpose, fmitch. he swore by it. i forgot all about that
Or a hot whiskey....
Or a hot port...
*grin*
whiskey has always tasted like medicine to me... a waste. but rum is another thing.. i do lilke a nice dark flavorful rum
Or, best of all. a hot man......................
ENOUGH! BBL I'm off for a drink.
Ooooh Gramma - you have been led into temptation!!!
the evils that lurk in the chog......
LOL
i am not lurking
hmmm time to think about dinner
ok, then jacq is not evil.
LOL ty
time to go, my chariot awaits. happy babbling!
have fun doren
Should Soodle hang her head in shame as being the only evil in the Chog?
Fare well Dorens and Happy Babbling all - I too shall away.
bye doren! bye fm! :9
celebrates soodles evilness with mars bars all round
one of the guysin my work group's neighbor works for mar.he brings in all types of candy inclduing grey m 7 m s
Soodle straightens her devil's horns, adjusts her tail, and happily accepts mars bars!!
With an evil grin!!!
mmmmmmmmmmmmm do you have his address?
he had munch bars, they are my fav
Are you eating chocolate? I like a candy bar called Uno. Very fluffy and not too sweet.
have heard of them
Hello Stidg!
and yes mere, i love chocolate
I love chocolate!!
Hi sood and jac! Just coming on to the puzzle today. Have had more trouble with word processing today than was my fair share.
never heard of grey m&m's
I think I'll put the corn chips aside and look for chocolate. stidkid and I chose some different types yesterday.
Never heard of grey candy. Sounds suspicious.
lol
I'm back with my little Russian friend Stoli.
:O
nah. I hate chocolate. Nasty, brown,sugary substance....
looks at the alien that claims to be soodle
gets out my gnu aims the gnu "who are you?"
Hi gramma. We're into the candy wars. Which is best and why some colors will not be accepted by the masses.
looks weird, too
Give me good old fashioned porridge, or dumplings any day.
throws the gnu at the alien
uh, folks, this is merely play. no gnus were harmed during this scenario
lol
stid, you do what you have to. I was forced to drink. I can't do both. OH no...I can BRB
Soodle prostates herself on the chog, beats her chest and declares "MY NAME IS SOODLEBUM. I AM A CHOCOHOLIC"
Mostly it was colorie free and very vertuial
2nd co5/12 pls
prostates? (hee hee)
The word vertual has gotten away from me. If you see it, correct it and send it back.
I forgot the 'R', didnt I? Happens every time.........
Maybe the choco got away from the oholic and thus she has in fact not thrown herself down on the chog.
prostating is more invasive to the chog ... but i heard the chog didn't mind
Soodlebum, I just read your profile. You are right up there with Kant!
i think the r got away from her
so many runaway letters and words today
Well, perhaps some focus for me on the grid will help the grey cells which have been very mushy today.
My lil' Rusky led me to WE 6. I love th** lil' guy ;)
Soodle chaing the errant 'R'' Cant speak right now....
Chaing? chaining? chasing? What? poor r.
Ok. Soodlebum retreats with heavy losses.
But a boice from the distance enquires of Godhaab - Who the heck is Kant?
Ahem, voice!
give it up, soodle
sings "Emmanual Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable...."

I'm chugging along at my usual slow pace...
22 now, and got all but 1 or 2 in every tile... gonna go get me a list so I can finish and eat dinner
So far I'm not gloating over the few words I've found. The monkey is very helpful today. But not very efficient.
glad your monkey is hard at work... mine is on strike
hi, babblers (i like monkeys)
Hi, welki
hi welki
in fact, i'm thinking about buying my monkey a new mouse ... anything to keep him happy (and productive) :)
sounds like a good plan welki
can ayone clue the two first cr's please the cr6/21's
darnit, I wish I had found ha7 on my own... it's such a perfect word
cr6 = sort of like what you color pictures with, but change that sometimes vowel to a consonant

hello friends, I am studying and wondered who was NOT studying. *counting* (jmc, rbud, beach...)
are you-all having a good evening?
hi stiddie
hi stid!
hi stid
I see I just missed Mother... I will remind her of the spelling for that strange glutinous vegetable.
Jellen! (((((((hugs!))))))) how are you doing? do you have any space left in your house after all those sales you've been going to?
No space at all! We even had a garage sale...
golly. hope you did well!
Fairly well, considering the weather...
hi everyone!
Hi, lbd!
hi lbd
Hi Jellen! how ya doing? it's been forever!
hi jmc!
I'm okay...stressed about Tim's upcoming appointment with oncologist in St. Louis...
hey lbd. our weather has been "seasonable" (in local parlance) which means mostly gray, a good bit of drizzle, a few real rainshowers and sunbreaks. the leaves have been spectacular for our area because we haven't had that much rain.
ugh, hope it all will be okay, jellen. will keep you both in my t's and p's
I understand, I think Jellen. Wish I had anything to say that would help. Except to stay hopeful (which isn't much help).
Thanks!
Good evening friends! Just stopping by. May I please have a clue for the top left E for NBT? Thank you!
STIDDY!!!, it's been ugly here, cold, wet, grey, just ugly.
CAR! *faints so hard the chair is left spinning empty*
I know stid...I know!
ec+ T** End
ec 4/6
it has been forever Car!
so... I think I'd best get back to organizing the portfolio for Friday, writing the paper for Friday and reading the last chapter for Friday. Maybe not in that order....
hi friends - car, you are almost in the grid today!
Trif is...her real name anyway!
*leaves choclits on table* I will leave Babble open and drop by when I need a brain break. *mini fade out*
hi jbv! get at least one of those things done, Stid.
Hi, JBV
Hi Dawg! TY!
TY Jellen!
hi lbd, Jellen, and stid
I just uploaded a new icon...picture taken today....
dad looks pretty good in that picture, car
It was taken on Kadresa's phone camera and got a little squished during upload, but yes, he looks GREAT! And note...not a single tube coming out of him...well that you can see anyway!
he does look good
i do not want to know where teh unseen tube is
Ask Trif! Tee Hee!
Co 4/8? Please
CO + another name for an umpire is *e*eree

I am spending a few minutes relaxing with the grid
hi DR
Hi, DR
HiJellen! Have not seen you in a while- hope things are good!
hey tor, hey DR -- I finished the portfolio work, LBD and am starting the "integration paper." But I have two days to work on this, so will just outline for now and fill it in tomorrow after I cogitate a bit more.
Hi JMC ! -Wow- good group on right now
hey Boo!
hi stid
Things are very much up in the air...
Hi Stid, Hi Boo, HI lurkers
hi DR (from a lurker)
oh no Jellen
hi Dr
HI DR and everyone else
Hi Lurker Kris
ty for including me in that DR
It's okay, just waiting for results of tests...
**blushes at being caught**
car, that is a nice pic. Will he come home soon?
hey Kris!
hi kris
hi kRIS
Hi stidmama and jmc and everyone
Hi boobear
ARGH. just realized how close we are to having "crwth" *sigh*
Hi, Kris
He will be moving to a step-down unit in the next day or two, then when he is ready to a rehab center. Home maybe by December.
crwth?
that is great news Car!
slow but steady car
what's crwth?
Our Friend is home but has to go every day for iv and wound cleaning
Boo, I don't have that CH 6/33 yet...still working on it!
Good for him, Car
it's a welsh stringed instrument similar to a lute, jmc babblet
that would be nice for him, car. I am sure he is happy about his progress!
Oh DR! That can be exhausting! I am glad he is home though - needs to be with family and in comfortble surroundings!
he said it is very painful
I really hope I never have to deal with post-surgical stuff. I don't have much patience.
Happy and frustrated. He is now starting/trying to piece together the last 3 weeks...
ch6/33 -- ch + the province of Qu****
I mean, for myself -- I have not minded helping others with that sort of thing.
DR...I will continue to send prayers and good thoughts his way!
oh Stid- I hope so for your sake then..
thanks Jill! (((hugs)))
hello all :)
TY Jili!
thank you Car- much appreciated
Hi Jilli
ty jilli
ty jill
great clue Jilli . Thanks
lots of strange words here :(
always learning something ty stiddie
yes, many strange ones, jill
thanks and hi Jilli
well, I am past 100 now (down to 78) and will read that chapter before I return... *studious mama look* *another mini fade*
go stidmama go (on the reading)!
I'm supposed to be writing my spiritual autobiography, but I'm too cranky for that
lol better wait until you are more centered kris
Clues for the 2 cr 6/21s please?
but it's due on Monday - hope I have time to be centered before then. Need to get hubby out of the house (or take the computer somewhere...)
stid's going for a 200% average as usual :)
a waxed coloring devise with a different middle consonant that the sometimes vowel
one cr 6/21 is a mix-up of what we get milk in
I gon't have the other
kris and I clued the same one
TY! Got that one!
Kris, how long does your biography have to be?
3 pages double spaced
condensed from 52 eventful years
the other is CR + k*r***s grow on an ear of corn
thank you car!
YVW!
SOunds like a neat exercise if you didn't HAVE to do it.
It will be a neat exercise if I can be centered long enough to do it. And the "reflection paper" on the reading.
Must get some sleep now. Good night my Babble friends!
good wishes on the task.
goodnight, car - sleep well - and best...
Middle column gray - yay
bye car
i did a drawing of my spiritual journey -- that might be a way to start
go kris go!
thanks jmc - for both encouragements. I'd love to see your drawing
I doubt I could find it now -- I did it more than 15 years ago
time for a new one :)
maybe so I will have to think about that
help with the wy please
Sounds like a halloween female
ty jell
:-)
ditto - thx
Hello everyone, down to the nitty gritty now, does anyone have either tr7?
one of them is an extension of the tr6 before it
double the vowel at end of tr6/24
hi une!
howdy, jmc :-)
thank you Unea and jm
yw :-)
yw
Hi, Une!
Hi Une & thx
hey, jellen! :-)
hey, kris :-)
how about the first tr7?
don't have it
I need it too...
it's the adjective form of the tr 6/24 after it
thx krisE
ty kris amazingly I got it from that clue! lol
just got it before the clue lol
Ooh! Thanks!
yrall welcome :)
is the Massachusetts for y'all?
to 6,18 anyone?
more cool building on to 4/6
got it, ty down to 4
to 6/33, please?
go sea go
it's my own special language, jmc - and I'm too thick to get your clue:(
more to 4/6
to 6/18 = heavy weight + Navy P*** in Chicago
hi luv
hi jmc
of course, Luv--thanks and hi!
hi Kris
anybody want whole wheat flat bread just out of the oven?
no thanks I just ate an ice cream supper
You health food fanatic, jmc!
sounds yummy!
Sounds good, btw...
Can anyone help me with to 6/33, please?
the 2nd co 5,12 please?
terra co*** pot
ty Jellen
to6/33 is a type of bird, a ground robin.
Hi, Jac
i was down in the dumps -- sometimes ice cream makes it all better
hi jac
Hi Jac - the to6/33 is a funny bird, don't you think?
why in the dumps, jmc?
Or think, to* (to move a failed vehicle with a rope) plus cowboy exclamation y*Ha! Change first letter and remove the ha.
ben & jerry's vanilla heath bar crunch
that'll fix just about anyhing jmc
anything
Thanks, Jac!
found out there has been a major glitch (understatement) with our fundraising data base
re 5,18 please
Don't think I'm speaking to dcs if he's here - he knocked me off my Bomboozle no 1 spot on Facebook. LOL
which explains why there is not enough to make payroll etc.
oh dear jmc
Oh dear, jmc.
so sad jac!
it is a tough year to run a nonprofit
LOL, jmc.
Ouch, jmc!
I'm away next week, so many 'crowns' will fall.
re's - check the book out again, and get money from the lottery again
on the other hand I saw rangle today - he's in much worse shape
Thanks, Kris
at least I don't have hundreds of people clamoring for me to resign
Who's rangle?
jmc - another tick in my box for Reasons Not to become Famous.
that's got to be a good list, Jac
rangle is the congressman from Harlem in NYC
I've fielded that one in the past and will do again, should the need arise, over writing stuff.
But it's all about Fame these days, isn't it?
here is another reason jac-- also saw cong. patrick kennedy who was -- ahem-- a little worse for the wear making rambling comments about having won the DNA lottery
I want none of that. Just give me the money and kudos from myy real friends.
many people around the room muttered -- not clear that you won partrick
yeah I want the money too to get the work done
We all want the money, but we'd all like quiet recognition for what we do more. But no press etc.
hmmm sometimes i would like the glory so that my brilliant ideas would be followed -- ;-)
What's with all the I Want Top be Famous for being a part/getting my boobs out on tv/coming out on tv stuff now?
Too much attention seeking.
that kind of fame i can do without
*prat, not part.
hello, everyone, Aunt Jean is helping me again tonight
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
Hi Nef, and hi Nef's aunt
Hi, Nef and Min
hi nef and aunt jean
hi min
jmc - you'll get your brilliant ideas followed by your true friends. No need to seek fandom.
Hi Min
but my ideas are on how to bring lasting peace! lol!
go jmc!
hi Min, Kris,Jellen, and jmc
But, as you all know here at Babble, as the Queen of Non-PC, I don't seek that kind of adoration.
go jac go!
Jellen, I haven't seen you for a while
have some choklit
Haven't been around much, Nef...
final request ha 7
jmc - get yourself into a small bikini, dye your hair blonde, enter a beauty show and then hook up very publically with a TV hunk or sportsman.
omg no one would want to see my flapping belly in a two piece much less a bikini!
ha 7 is a drug and is also used in desribing days of leisure, "Ine her HA***** days or something like that lol
Hi, meliae!
Gosh! I read my last post as 'hook up very pubically', but I guess it's much the same thing, LOL.
it uses the sometimes vowel
Jellen! ((HUGE HUGS))
movie 2001 computer name + hurricane are also called **cl**es
((hugs back))
How have you been, seems like it has been years since I saw you lol
ok, guess my brains fried, I just am not seeing it
My Mother, as a child in the 1930s, misunderstood pulbic and pubic. So when she got her sex education, she thought adults sprouted PUBLIC hairs, She spent ages trying to understand that, since none were on show.
lol jac
lol jac
Up and down, meliae...Tim's cancer came back, so he had surgery again...
Sea, think of the bluish computer color, with a different vowel - that's the end of ha7
ha* (mans name) + the rinse is a **cle on your wash machine_ not off
=( how is he doing now?
On a more serious note, I'm working on the revenge is a dish best served cold thing. The scum who violated my stepdaughter will not be free to do it to another child, but softly, softly catchee monkey.
:) Thank you all, got it and Fireworks!
We don't know...has an appointment on Nov. 10th to go over latest test results...
Well done seaspray.
whoo hoo sea!
well I am sending prayers your way Jell =)
ty Jac and jm
grats Sea!
could i help anyone?
way to go, Sea! I just got fireworks too!
I'll be fending off seaspray next week on hol down in North Devon.
Congrats, Sea!!!
to6/33, didn't get the earlier bird clue
as long as you don't mutilate him you have my support and prayers
ty mel and Jellen
oo a babble vacation
to+ and excited exclamation when you go done a slide
Yay, Kris!!!
to pull a car you to* it + tee *** (giggle)
*down
when your car breaks down you have it ***ed, cowboys say *** haw
to + what you say on a carnival ride
ooo thx for the to6, i was going the wrong way
thanks Jellen. So sorry to hear about Tim. I hope you get good news soon.
jmc - I'd mutlate him if I thought I could get away with it. It'd castrate him and chop his whatsit off, and his hands. Then, I'd do surgery on his brain to leave him feeling wretched and helpless.
jmc, I hope you get good news about the db soon, too
remind me never to get on your bad side Jacula lol
we spent all day working on it and have made great progress but it will take time sigh
Just like he left my stepdaughter feeling. Christianity does not bypass revenge. '
tr 7 please and I dont have the tr 6 either
well jac what can I say -- that I can't pray for but getting him chemically castrated, fired, jailed, and on a public display -- go for it
oh ops I dont have either tr 7
to6=to 5/14 minus the hook letter + vowel
both to7 words relate to it
the one before it is an adjective
better clues than i could think of jm
tr + 4th vowel + joanie loves ***chi + letter before M is the tr7
goodnight everyone and thanks again!!
the one after it just doubles the vowell
t+the little chocolate balls with hazelnuts in it
jmc - there's no way to leave 'a kiddy fiddler' his sexual things. He won't change and he'll keep on grooming kids.
lbd gave an even better clue!
Fireworks!
whoo hoo jellen
Yay Jellen! Congratulations!
thank you
anagram of brit word for flashlight tr6, double the last vowel for the tr7
Congrats Jellen1
whoooo hoooo JELLEN!!
ch 6,33 for fireworks
Had to bring in Tim for the last 18...
Jac, when did this terrible thing happen to your stepdaughter? How is she now?
I'm sorry for all that, but it's one thing I feel passionately about. We adults are supposed to be there to nurture and protect children, not abuse them
Kris - about 7 months ago and it's all gradually coming out./
ch= like the canadian city qu****
thank you, fireworks finally
oh dear, Jac - I'm so sorry.
Yay Carol
My stepdaughter irritates the hell outof me and has done since I met her many years ago, and I never wanted more kids... but I've got her now and I WILL NOT allow any more kids to be violated by the man her mother chose to stay with rather than her daughter. What is wrong with that woman?
how does she irritate you?
whoo hoo carol
Sorry! Iknow Ikeep arriving her in the middle of the night and then turning into Mrs, On a Mission, but it's really playing on my mind.
ali - I don't know really, she just does.
i can understand the concern jac (that is quaker speak for I understand why you are totally pissed)
she's a teenager that is irritating enough
It's not her fault, ali, it's a personality/intelligence thing maybe?
i have the same issue with my adopted daughter, annoyance
hi ali
You sound like a proper mama bear, Jac.
hi jm
Teenagers can be very irritating. I've brought up two. (No, not spewed, but did it the hard way, 20+ years)
Lots of people who have lived thru that are not clear on personal boundaries and they violate other people's sense of safety by intruding accross that invisible line. It can be very irritating.
I'm fading, folks. Thank you all for the babble and other support. Praying for healing for everyone's loved ones and databases...
my son was definitely irritating as a teenager
at5/14, monkeying forever ...
a + t*** (stage award)
G'night, Kris...
geez louise, how could i have missed that?!
thx jellen
thanks kris...pray for me and my daughter
a + Mr. Curtis (actor).
will do, ali - understanding & patience? anything else?
I need it all..
I need all that, too.
as they say here "so don't we all"...will do. Off to pray/sleep
goodnight!
all parents (and step parents) of teenagers need all the prayer they can get
bye kris
amen jm!
gnite all {poof}
If I don't get to grips with this kid I never wanted in the first place but I can't reject because her mother rejected her in favour of a paedo, I might lose the Love of my Life. And that is something I don't want happening.
thanks to my mother-in-law...Carol :) I have fireworks!!! thanks Carol!
Well done Jbear and well done Carol!
whoo hoo jbear!
jac...I feel for you...i really do. want to know how i deal with my daughter?
remember you are not her friend, but talk to her honestly
ali - Yes, but I have no probs dealing with my daughter. It's my stepdaughter I have the prob with.
oh..i meant your stepd.
okie-doke I am heading to bed
one of the things I had to come to grips with is that i may never feel for her what I feel for my bio kid
hello friends and sweet dreams jmc
I need one for fireworks. Can anyone clue the re5 for me please?
night jm hi stid
to make not old again?
According the the social worker, who arrived at my home not long after my daughteer went into hospital with anorexia, it was me talking to her honestly that put her in there! At one time sh agreed. Now, at 22, she sees it another way.
hello :)
how old is your stepd
I want to love my Step, but fear I never will.
Hi, stid and Liz
LIZ!!!!! *faints dead away* YOU SKYDIVED?!?!?!?!? *faints again*
Hi Stid.
Jac, remember you don't need to love people to treat them with kindness and respect.
you can't make yourself love her. don't try
LOL Stid :) I certainly did!
ali - she's 14, 15 in December.
Jellen!
Hi all who entered while I was trying to get half done!
what you can do is work on being civil
hello Min! welcome to the grid-o-death!
start there
mwa-ha-ha-ha (as stidkid#2 says)
Hows things Jellen. Still waiting for the results?
so, how are you Liz? I miss seeing you. I hear you survived another trek?
stid - I take on board what you said about kindnes and respect, but how do I overcome the irritation?
What time is it Stid? Its 3.30am here!
Still waiting...have an appt Nov 10th
don't overcome the irritation. It means something is upsetting your equilibirum. It is a message that means you can choose to ignore, try to fix or look for other alternatives.
ignore the irritation as much as you can. it is an art trust me. my daughter irritates me to no end
it's 7:30 pm here Liz
Sttid. I miss you too...time zones! Yes, I went to Peru in September.
Hugs Jellen
and when you can't take it anymore...walk away and go do something good for yourself
ali - As an ex-grammar school girl, I cannot help but be civil.
7.30 ? A respectable time! I should be in bed!
some kids love irritating....don lte them control you
yes, ali is right. Don't play the martyr! She is old enough that you are allowed to have your own time and space.
LOL Liz! I ought to be studying, but needed a little break.
hope your children are well? Mine are *knock wood* both healthy at the moment!
Nothing your own child can do is as irritating as a child not grown in your own womb can do.
You cant work all the time stid. not healthy!
I am back
wb, DR
hey again DR!
Both womb-grown are still quite dependant on me, even though one left home a while ago.
thanks Jellen- ate some dinner
it took me 5 year to get to the place I am with my daughter. may it go faster with you.
Jac, it is easier if you remember that behind every behaviour there is a reason. If you can help her address the reason it should get better. When nothing else works, just look at the soul inside the kid instead of the behaviour you get.
that is true, liz. but trust me, "all the time" isn't in my working vocabulary!
Hi Stid! glad to read your kids are healthy
rofl Stid :)
Hello DR1965!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
some kids are just angry...and that is why they act out...detach from her anger. if you can see it as her problem and not yours it will help you to gain some perspective
Hello Min- I am well but this grid is not very forthcoming with words
ok this is getting silly. I have to try and get some sleep
well, I think getting down to 68 is good enough for now. I shall return if I have time and energy before the flip. Otherwise, probably be back tomorrow at some point (but not in the evening, stidkid has a concert).
night liz
Jacula - hugs for you too
I din't realy like children even when I was a child. Nopthing prepared me for the love I felt for my own two (and the one I lost). I always knew I wanted kids. I was as only child, and I wanted at least 4 kids.
sweet dreams liz! ((((hugs)))) good to see you again!
Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log
*waves bye*
gnight Liz and Stid
you to stid :)
(((hugs everyone))) hang in there, Jac. Eventually they all grow up! *poof*
I got 2 in the end, and the 4th (afterthe lost one) wasn't mine and my new life partners'.
jac...i wonder...excuse me if this is getting too close..do you resent that you have to care for someone else's child when you had to lose one of your own?
Ditto what stid said Jac.
But none of that mattera=s, Ineed to be a Mum to her, even though she irriates the hell out of me, ms=ostly be waving the banner of her stupidity at me.
that banner can be hard to let go of :-)
I don't think she is trying to be stupid Jac. It just feels like she is doing what she does to piss you off. You are being a good Mum by providing her a safe place to live, but you are not responsible for her past. It will take her years to heal and your part may just be to offer her a safe haven until she gets around to wanting to heal.
help with the ch6/27 please
Blessings to you both. You both will survive somehow.
big fast cat, DR, with less vowels
It is an odd spelling of the fastest cat on earth
ty Dan
Phantom: cheetah
hiya minver and everyone!
and Bugs and Min
how about the other ch6?
Does anyone have another clue for the re5, please? I still can't find anything
yes...I agree with bug. you are not responsible for the sob's behavior
Jac, sorry if I'm butting in here. She may realize that a certain behavior is bothering you, and she may continue to do that behavior to see if you will desert her like others do
Hello dan2bit! How are you? Didn't see your entrance
re5...what is the other number
bugs I have victorious again, but still looking for the other re5
Nef and Bug, I realise that.
amen nef...i agree.
re5, 18 please
sometimes the only thing you can do is be there....
help with ch the 2nd please
Sorry, that is the same one I need dan2
Even if it's killing me, which it it, I'll continue to be there.
That other re 5/18 word is re plus not old alibabas.
*us not it for last
tx minver!
Jac, if it's any help; my step mother and I hated each other when I was 15 (she was only 26); we made our peace when I was 22 or 23
And I'll probably also continue to haunt the chog lonmg after I've finished the grid and clued/
yw
Got it now Min. Thanks. I was not starting at the right end
jac....i started out with lots of anger toward my d cuz that is all she could dish out...i learned to get to neutral more days by not allowing her to control me with her acting out. it made a real difference...most days i say...if that is the way you want to live then go for it.. but that is not my way.
does anyone have a clue for the ch6/33
ch+ qu**** is in Canada
the best thing i can do for her is not to engage but to live my life happily so she can see what that looks like
thank you i never never would have gotten that
I don't hate her, Nef and I don't think she hates me. She just wants to be loved. I could maybe go there if she didn'y still kreep loving and talking to her real Mumm the woman who has chosen to live with pod scum who sexually assualted her daughter on more than one occasion and then buggered off for 10 days to think aboutt it before deciding she's rather be with tthe padedo than her daughter.
yw Regis
clue for the last to6?
re/18...re not lose
good night
gnight Regis
it will take lots of time for her to realize what her mom really is.
to6 is more tonal.
Sound or colour word.
ty Jac- got 5 words from that
ch 6/27 please
Ali - that's what my daughter says. In about 3 years' time the sh*t will hit that fan.
y/w. DR
you are right....and that may be the time she realizes that you were there for her.....
I think I have that one Jac - I have to6 more like Mr. Soprano, and to6 having lots of castle parts
missing to6/33
Goodbye regis!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
ch6/27 is a big fast cat with fewer vowels, meliae
I'm too tiredto clue any more, so I guess I should go.
hey....if you ever want to email offline....let me know...sometimes it helps to vent.
awww thank you
take care jac
Been busy getting ready for 'holiday' next week with me, Beloved, Step and her year-older girl cousin.
My son keeps telling me, 'Just stay home!'
I hope he's not prived right. Wasn't me who set up the hol.
so I'm down to the ch6/33 and the to6/33 - maybe they're related? :-)
well, if you go...hope you have fun.
ali - thankyou, but I vent in my private blog, which some Babblers are privy to.
to6/33 is a bird
well have a good rest...you deserve it
Over and out from me now. Ejoy the grid.xxx
got it une thanks
yw :-)
ch6/33 appears unrelated :-(
don't have it . . .
ch6/33- ch+ Qu**** is in canada
I clued it earlier when everyone was talking to Jac
ch6/33 sounds like a Canadian province and city, eh ..
whew thanks DR - monkeys were failing. Thanks all cluers, firewords!
WTG Dan!
hahaha ch6/33 is *also* a bird
good to know Dan

hi all...
Putt Putt Pini diving in!
Hello all :)
hey, jilli and pini :-)
first al5 plz/thx?
al5 wide awake
oy vey (that I am not apparently)
thx une ;)
I give up with 64 to go -- again had no time today. Scrolling back, I see everyone is amazed by the to6/33 bird, but the rufous-sided ones are familiar friends around here!
we have them here too, jilli ;-)
BTW at my mom's today we were treated to the return of the pileated woodpecker -- magnolia trunk chips flying left and right! :-)
Maybe wile w have no icon themes we should do as we do on Fridays and post clue icons?
We have those here too, une :)
sounds like a good idea to me, jilli
sorry about the typos -- this is tired time
no worries, jilli; you should know by now that we're pretty fluent in typonese! :)
thank goodness, pini!
last co5/24?
type of shell, pini
co + some people have a *** sense of humour (kinda twisted)
danke!
great clue, jilli!
ty, une!
cr6/21 x 2? fishies, too?
ooh, monkeyed the first one!
cr + vowel + 2000 lbs
no fish there -- both weird.
i agree!
yep, got th4 one, une ;)
c + R***e Ze*wegger (sp?)
thx for th4 one, too!
first fa5?
nm...got it
I didn't get that far, pini, lol!
I have a whopping 41 more to go :(
64 here, pini, lol!
oh, wait...I got the first fl5 not the first fa5
let's go, jilli!
not even going to try, pini!
I'm going to give it the ol' college try, but not going to punish myself!
39 now! :)
first la5/14?
la7?
I'll say this -- I go to morewords for the words I can't find after a good effort, and nearly always they are ones I've never seen before and never need to see again
been there; done th4!!! LOL
There are lots of those in this grid so I don't really enjoy it
34
makes sense
are the oc5 and ot5 "weird" too?
not compared to others!
la7--John said, "there is one coming after me whose ******* I am not worthy to unlose
loose
* thinking *
whose shoes' *******, sorry, had left out a word
la7 rhymes with ra7
easier clue
I don't have the ra7 yet either
no Biblical scholar here
I am missing a r4 from the bottom "R". It is my last word to fireworks...can you guys help me?
same as the la7
I don't have the la7 (they're trying to clue it)
buried the ha***** - made friends again. replace the ha with la and ra
ra7 -- rodent + Mr Huntley (if you're old enough to remember)
ro 4/7 perhaps?
got 'em!!! thx!!
ata's clue is better :)
r4 --the one like anger?
hi justy and ata
and jai
hi jilli and evy1

nice little run
distant: fa* + new york *it*
Please clue the ro4-7- I do not have that one!!!
thx and HI BR!!!
hello, Pini
