Snow has already hit the ground near the slopes (3 weeks earlier than last year)

I came late.. had to go to a birthday roast
fun, I bet -- whose birthday? Yours?
yes.. and a friends.. it was a double roast
Happy birthday, kid ;)
I am now the speed limit jilli
Oh, is it still 30?
* kiss *
Happy Birthday Ruru!
:D Happy Birthday, ruru!
LOL!
'the speed limit' around here, that ranges from 40 to 70 on limited access roads. ;)
well it is 55 round these parts ..mr smartypants..lol
ours are in KILometres
in a couple of bordering states, driving the speed limit or slower is ticketable for obstructing traffic, which means at this point it's a speed minimum there
would that this nation would finally switch, jilli
amen to that dc.
sometimes a word works and i don't even know what it means. Does anyone know a quick easy dictionary site for looking words up?
and a good thing too, dc
I have trouble with slow drivers around here
wart, click the ? beside the word
warhog, i use Google with - define: word
i find the ? less reliable
but it's faster
oh my god jilli that is so cool... thanks dcsean... i
true that, jilli
a lot of the times ? doesn't answer anything
if the ? draws a blank you can go to goodle
agreed, ruru
I mean Google (getting tired)
firewords :)
it started slow, then picked up, unlike most grids
goodle..sounds like a cross between a golden and a poodle
I'm going to head for bed after kitchen cleanup
YAYAY DC.. well done
sweet dreams, jilli
YAY dc -- know what you mean
Congrats DC!
there are oodles of ?oodles these days -- bad thing.
thanks, yall
i visited friends this evening, and we got talking about grits, and my native accent came out strong, to point of being mocked LOL
I'd never mock a southern accent -- so lovely
I love the Boston accent
Praise Elvis i don't talk like them yankees. It pains the ears, though it can be entertaining
why thank you, jilli
GET YER FENWAY FRANKS HEYAR...
Fenway park is a great place to see a baseball game
What pains my ears is nasal speech, and lately the young girls who croak wearily
we were both surprised that no one in Oregon nor Washington commented on how we talked. In New York and Massachusetts i've at times had to resort to point and gesturing because they could not understand me.
(agree with that)
yes, jilli
I couldn't follow a teenager's conversation the other day.. too many it's like and uh. uh .uh.
my cousin - he's 14 - communicates clearly, except to his parents
well that is a given isn't it DC
think I am going to race jilli to bed...
think I am going to race jilli to bed...
that's what i keep trying to tell my aunt, who just rolls her eyes and sighs LOL
rest well, ruru
night you guys... be good..
you'll probably win, ruru -- I have dishes to do.
Night ruru, and same to you
dishes are done here.. I am enjoyng a couple of books
see you tomorrow.
my writer-grandson (working on his MA) makes great written sentences, but when talking every second word is "like"
ruru -- dare I ask if you've cracked Merle's Door yet?
i'm not surprised, jili. we were taught that speech and writing are separate, except when either writing in dialect or speaking formally.
I find writing much easier than talking
there's time to think
i'm comfy either way. but i've worked phone and email tech support for so many years, i've had a lot of practice
anyway, I must hie me bedwards (post-kitchen)
Goodnight Jilli & DC
night lynxxx and dc and any lurkers around
*poof*
i should do as jilli is. lyn, have a great day. And happy Babbling, yall!

Ausgezeichnet Inge!
Hello Scrabs..yes it is a small one.
Any "regular" words, or all weirdos?
spme normal, lots ending in `r`, and a fair few unregular words.
some*
My 1st 3 words are "regular" so far, but I am not seeing much.
the three `ee` words are describing creepy
TY--I have 11 now, am getting caffeinated and becoming familiar withthe grid.
hu7 is desribing some-one who does not have much time and is rushing around.
that one took me a long time to get as the words is well twisty in the grid..lol
PA 6 i do not know how to clue, but looked it up and it says `A set of matched jewelry or other ornaments`
TY for hu7
yw
pa6= your golf score should always be under *** + Ivory soap is like 99.7 percent p***
nice way to clue it there Twenty palms :-)
lol. it's the best way I know. It is an odd one.
btw...Ivory soap was suppose to be 99.44% p***...lol
TY ! (got paged and on call now)
Ha. Thanks Ouwachita!

as well
It's OK, a long as you got the word.
I am back--more phone calls. I am on call all weekend and there are so many sick kids.
hi scrabs!
Yes, lk, this is probably the smallest grid ever.
went to markte yesterday and saw the bunny lady. made me think of you, she had so many cuties, mostly dutch dwarfs but one lovely black and white mini lop
I saw bunnies at the farm store yesterday too--I cuddled one calm one. It is hard for me to not bring bunnies home. That is how I ended up with 4 here.
Owl, I miss you, Doren, nrkii + JBV!
LOL you would have left with a few fro this bunch for sure! the mini lop looked like it had beem painted on the hind end with buckshot.
hello babblers
wekk scrabs, we nust see what the holidays bring, if the weather does not get too bad, i am the bad apple, since i have so little family i am always rattling around
what's with the grid????
Hi Enomis
would love a nyc visit to see the sights
ur4 anyone?
ur4= ur + 2 vowels = product kidneys get rid of
Thanks!
oh my! i did ot even see that one!
'morning, kids
hi welk
hi welki
i am lookinf ve4/9 diligently for the other v word
success! :D
you can join all the vowels together in this grid. (oh the ridiculous things i see)
truer word never spoken v6
washer stopped. must go hang wash. will return shortly with icicles i am sure ;)
hi all, can you believe that before i turned this on, I was actually thinking what is the smallest grid that has been done and I see this!
morning, jen ... don't you wish you could parlay that foresight to a winning lottery ticket? *lol*
yes!
Another phone call--so far I am getting paged every 20-30 min. If this continues til I am done tomorrow at 7:30 am, I will be insane
hi all
Hi JM
'morning, je
wow i may be able to finish this one
Yes, you will, JM!
morning all...this is the 2nd grid of 36 ive seen,
Hi Crossy! Any snow on the ground yet?
had snow twice so far,non has stayed on the ground just yet
hi crossy
Same for us. I want to get the leaves raked today and be ready for the snow.
howdy jmc
sorry they are running you ragged scrabs
poor scwabby
I have been on call since Thursday night and we have SO many sick kids + worried parents with this H1N1 outbreak. 4 local kids have died and that is scary!
are all the f words fi? or is there an fr?
that is terrible scrabs
I have just fi4
one fr
i can see why the parents are scared
yes brother! jmcnrick
ty welki
hi ruf
jm...i have one FR
ty ruf nice clue
hi ouw
TY, ruf
so i am typing on a brand spanking new laptop
(complete with the letter Q)
but the reason is is a bummer -- my house was burgled while I was home thursday night
hi scrabbler n jm
thats scary jm...
and im told that even once you get the shot,it takes 10-15 days to do its thing,so all theese late flu shot clinics wont be worth a damn,i cant even get my kid a sho till wed,but since he has been barking and had a fever on and off for 4 days now it wont do him any good anyways:(
*sigh* of all the people to pick ... if they'd had just asked
it was -- i still haven't slept all night
you're okay, though ... what else did they take
what welki?
my purse (since found in an alley) and my camera
Oh, no, JM!!
sorry to hear that jmc;((
you're a good soul, je .. if a person needed something, all they'd have to do is ask, not break in and rob you (is what i meant)
o i c welki -- yes i do tend to try and help people
it doesn't help that it looks like my mother will die in the next few weeks if not days
i am feeling a bit stresssssssssseddd
awful, jm...as welki says, at least u r ok...were you asleep? more than losing things, its the invasive nature that is bothersome
That is horrible stress. My house was broken into twice while I was home. Once at night and once at 8 in the morning,
awful indeed...
a bit stressed? sounds more like an avalanche of stress :(
sorry bout all that jmc,seems a tough period for all
((Je)) Too much to handle
i have had my house burgled when i wasn't there and it didn't bother me -- this was different in that I was upstairs
yeah, thats what i mean...
poor gail -- how did you get to where you could sleep at night again?
gail, your dog .. a border collie? with blue eyes? (i have a smooth coat border collie, looks a bit like your guy!)
Scary, gail!!
Many years ago I woke up in the night and saw a man standing at the foot of my bed. I have never slept well since then.
lol too bad my cat and I are not dog people
Yes, Quid is a border collie, got him as a rescue.
omg gail!
omg gail!
at least they didn't come upstairs for me
Oh, my, Gail! That would scare me forever!
i had something similar happen .. fast asleep, i sense someone in the room, look up and there's a guy looking through the skylight. but ... he probably was scared to death by what he saw and ran away
It has scared me forever. I fought him off and ran out of the apartment.
(gail, my murray is a rescue, too ... i'll put a pic up in a min)
shudder
omd i am so sorry gail
He had been stalking me for months. I knew there was somebody, and it was a neighbor.
good grief,wish i had been there for you ladies..have a nice .303 hunting rifle that would of given those guys the night terrors for a year
i dreamed last night i looked out my back door and saw the burglar -- but he was a well dressed, cute and white about 30
omg that is a terrible story gail
lol no thanks crossy that would just give me worse night terrors i think
My burglars were brothers to the girl who lived next door. The most recent burglary, that is.
oh thats terrible, gail. poor you! did they catch the other guy?
Quid slept through both of them. The sound of glass smashing never bothered him at all. Yes, they did finally catch him when he raped another woman.
well it may not help me sleep tonight but it does put my life in perspective
ty gail for sharing your story
nothing says get the hell out of my house quite like a large calibre coming at the trespasser/burgler at 6500 feet per second..good grief gail! you live in a big city?
You just feel so vulnerable, knowing that they can enter your home. I leave lights on all over now. No, I live in Vermont in a rather small city.
there is a quaker story crossy about a burglar coming into the quaker farmer's house
I am getting creeped out now. How will I sleep tonight?
The first attack was in the Chicato area.
chigaco
Chicago, hah.
the farmer came down stairs and pointed the gun at the burglar and said. . .
(here's murray, gail)
i am shaken too, gail... your story is unnerving!
Friend I would not harm thee for the world but thou are standing where my gun is about to go off
i slept with lights on last night too
stuff one sees in movies and reads about....
Oh, so adorable. Quid is my second border collie, they are wonderful dogs. He goes to work with me every day.
help with the n?
lol jmc,god made man..winchester made them equal
film no**
lol you so know i don't agree
but i am actually a fairly good shot
but i only shoot skeet
a e i o u (and sometimes y) is the other n
and a sentence should generally have one!
ty welki
We have terrible drug problems in Vermont. Most robberies are looking for drugs or something to sell for drugs. There is a drug house right across the street from me.
have a house down the street with a small business attached,on the fence is a sign with the picture of a german shepard and it says "i can run 300 feet in 2.5 seconds,can you?" lol
that was the n clue
where in vt, gail? when i was young, i spent some time in s. londonderry and jamaica ... would stop for coffee on the way up in brattleboro
My dog would only give them a hug and a kiss.
ty i got both n words
have 2 words left with h and 1 with the e in the bottom row...any clues?
gail, have you thought of getting a fierce (r) dog?
I live in Rutland, in the middle of the state, near Killington. I can see the top of the mountain from my house.
do you have jane ey**?
ack gotta go or will be late to meeting! bbl
*poof*
I take my dog to work in a doctor's office, have to have a nice one.
ohhh, i'm sad to hear that rutland's turned that way .. was a beautiful town in the 70s
i do. ey4,4,5,5
h word
and do have the alarms and works?
I moved here in 1987 and drugs were in the schools. Then the wealthy people decided that they were tired of going to Montreal or New York to get their recreational drugs, so they created a new market here.
city people brough crack here;(
My son lives with me now, he is a night owl and actually chased the last burglar out of the house. I leave the protection to him.
glad he is there for you gail;)
me too, gail...
It is scary when you do not feel safe + impenetrable in your own home!
Me, too. He is 6'5" tall and looks much meaner than he is. But he won't put up with anybody who threatens my safety.
first citiot crack head who tries to come in here will be very sorry
I have slept with the phone in my bed for a long time,
Time to go outside and enjoy the lovely weather. Indian summer is her for a few days. I am on crutches now since the cast came off my foot, so I can get down the stairs and into the yard with Quid. Bye.
good morning everyone... such a small grid ... must mean something will allude me...
help with the e and h n the bottom right a, anyone? have 5 to go...which if i get will be my 2nd fireworks in 3 days! sorry to digress - bye gail

Hello jmcnrick! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!
been better min
That's too bad.Sorry to hear that?What's the matter
mother is basically in her last days and my house was broken into with me in it on thursday and they stole my laptop
silver lining=> new laptop with a letter q
My gosh,that is TERRIBLE! Did they catch the robber
no but i have found my wallet and my purse and other people who were also burgled that night
so no camera yet and my laptop was not backed up nearly recently enough of course
that's aweful jmc - so glad you were not physicall harmed!!
Sorry to hear about your mom. Has she been sick for awhile now? That is a lot to deal with now jmcnrick.
me too ver when i was on earlier i was reminded how bad it could have turned out
Hello Verucasalt!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
mother has been doing badly since July so not a big surprise but ve** hard on my sisters
thanks min
I saw you talking about that the other day, but was buried in grid and didn't comment. Sorry about that.
hi vera I don't think I have met you before
that's fine min
just got here and was going to go, but then I read jmc and couldn't leave just yet - I don't think we've met either - nice to meet you jmc, wish it was under differebt circumstances
nice to meet you veru have you been babbling long?
Does your mother live with jmcnrick or elsewhere?
On and off for a couple years now. this is the smallest grid I have ever seen. I almost asked to have a clue for ANYTHING!!:)
:-) crossy said this is the second one with 36 words
my mother lives at a group home and is getting hospice care
way too small
Is your mom out by you - can you visit her?
indeed no time to chat when they are too big and everyone leaves too soon when they are too small
I spent several hours yesterday and today with her
what does the 7 begin with?
that's good, well, as good as it can be
yes veru i sit with her and hold her hand
hu jmc
hi ren
can she communicate with you?
sometimes she can; sometimes not so much
someone once told me that having a baby and dying are very much alike for the surrounding people. On both occassions you are waiting for the event (sometimes a long time) and they are both filled with so much emotion.
except for the whole missing them afterwards things.
true hurshy, but when my grandmother finally passed after being in a home for two years and a couple strokes, feeding tube... it was a relief for me AND her - and I miss her
da%#%#%# computer turned itself off and then on!
my mother is miserable and i only want her not to be miserable
once she lost the ability to read she gave up on life and has been miserable since
if i lost the ability to read that might be my reaction too
my grandmother was so funny - she would say "I wish I wasn't a d@#m catholic - we go to hell if we kill ourselves. She hated being in a whell chair - HATED it
reading was my monther
so sorry that you are going through this AND getting robbed
mother's life. before her strokes she read dickens for breakfast, the newspaper, and then a couple of light reading books every day
wow. do you read to her?
it has been stressful -- there is no doubt
can people read to her or can she listen to books on tape jmc? i know it's not the same- it's what we did for my mom - she was such an avid reader
brb
down to 6 left...is there a list?
way to go PAV - I just found my FIRST word and am thinking of calling it a day!!
ask hursh pav - she's our list
ok I need a p, the lone a up top, an r right next to it , an h, and ana and e from the bottom row...
ana = an a
Hi, all!
Veruca, long time no see!
take care all. hang in there jmc.
hey pam
JMC--did not realize mom is in hospice... (((HUGS)))
hi pam!
hi, pav!!!
hey pam
REN
oy!
pav - 1 of the p's is like a golf term w/ an added consonant
i see some of the old gang in here!
hursh..are you he4?
arrrgggggggh
evan!!!!!
old....si
avaaaaaaaaaaast
thanks Ren, that's the one I do have ....
i'm he4 to avoid writing an employee's performance review
ewwwww, i have to finish evaluating myself tomorrow
I am avoiding some applications for a volunteer thing--which I'll get to later
hursh returns, what's up pav?
any clue for the lone A up top?
Hi, hursh!!!
i don't think i have any business achievements to list, which looks bad of course
then hows about the same golf term + p***, clear water.......
you are an achievement in yourself nutter
au5, mostly vowels.
weeeeeee, thanks renner, but i doubt i should list that
thank you for that clue renfield...fireworks
wtg sukee!!!!!
yay, sukee
I couldn't have done it without you and lickety :)
how's things with you, pam-i-am?
ok, thanks, hursh! you?
I like your flag...
I am a bit grumpy tonight and a small grid doesn't help
i do too. i'm a loyalist.
Ren, don't understand the "a" clue you gave....
could be worse, pam... you could be in hospital awaiting gall bladder surgery, which is what my husband is doing. :)
bummer, hursh! ;^0
he is much more bummed about the packers loss.
to tampa bay, of all things.
That was wild to see on NFL.com... didn't get the game here, but I dod go look at scores...
they lost to tampa bayy lost - whoa - those bucs! arrrrrgh
awwww, i likes the packers
*wonders if PAV had anything to say other than wanting a top A clue*
arrgh - i like the bucs....and steelers
i guess the throwback uniforms helped the bucs or something
steelers play tomorrow night!
Hello all. Hursh, I guess your husband's recurrent vomiting is from GB stones.
still looking for that A,but now down to 5...
oooh, sc with the excellent double entendre!
Haha, unintended.
i guess the bucs read about johnny damon always wearing his bucs game shirt
au+**d, white and blue+vowel
M clues please
ma rrey
yes, that is how it turned out, though. they have to do an MRI to see if there is a stone in a duct that needs breaking up before they can even do the surgery. which i really really hope they will not find any reason not to do laproscopically. (sp?)
Well, that was a lame attempt at a M word
ma6 one who ruins or spoils
ma5 a purply-pink color
thanks sue and hursh! now to find 4
laparoscopically.....I had a stone in common duct and got jaundiced
TY for M clues
yeah they saw that his liver function was off on his blood work when he went in.
and don't forget the one who ma** (red planet)
and they suspect that there is a stone right at the entrance which gets jammed whenever the gb tries to secrete, because he was getting pain after eating.
Elevated liver enzymes probably---ALT + AST, if you want to inquire about those and impress the docs
got them, ty Hursh
i didn't even see any docs while i was there!
i mean, i saw some in the cafeteria - but i didn't see any docs that were dealing with him.
Yep, food in stomach tells GB to squirt out bile into small intestine, but stones cause obstruction
i'm not used to this whole MRI to confirm business, though. if this were house, he'd just do the procedure to break up the stone, without bothering to check. it's faster.
Y clue please?
yi+ double consonants
i got the y word cause ata played it in our lexulous game recently, lol
down to 3

I think that most families have an Aunt Mary as well.
my aunts are christine, sue, carol, barb, and then married into the families are diane, penny, jeannie, jackie, cathy, and marianne - but she left and is soon to be replaced after all these years with a karen.
yes - we jews from out west had sarahs and rebeccas
mine were Diane and Nadine
handy to be able to replace an aunt
I guess I am an aunt sarah
only two aunts here. no marys. 8-D
and grandmere miriams
i had an aunt amy i would have gladly replaced
makes it easy with that replacement options
LOL hursy!

my aunt nadine needed to be replaced
i have one P that sounds like a golf word. clue for the other?

Hey I'm an Aunt Sarah as well Suefrad625! That's cool!
i think hursh has extra aunt available DR
yes it is
my aunt irene needed to be replaced!
when gert was still around it was a rite of passage to become taller than her, cause she was about 4'10"
we have a nadine who is a genius and a sci fi peep
love the gert name
my favorite aunt name was Laura Ruth
Rennie, those names were ve4 ra 4 in Germany in the 30's and 40;s
I need the ra5
both my aunts needed to be replaced. both have passed.
*trying figure out how to peep at sci fi*

Thanks Hurshy. I go by Grace Chapel on my way to work but that's as close as I've ever come.
can I get a clue for the y? plz/thx (for NBT)
*considers the value of AV support for silent worship*

i didn't mean the QUAKER meeting i meant KrisE's meeting, lol
JMC, specifically it refers to a gold coin at the time of Julius himself
yi+ double cons
thx dr ;)

Good friends!

I hate that Tim always neglects to lock the back door...
oh sweetings, i'm so sorry. wish i could do something for you.
i got my purse back and my wallet
they were trolling through the neighborhood after midnite looking for unlocked doors
Time to get an alarm system, if they are being that bold!
ID and cards?
ty lbd its just good to have friends
Do you believe they knew you were home? Were you home alone? How scary! I am glad that you are okay.
when i got my wallet back i got my id and most of my cards back
there was no cash because i had seen my son that day
Hello torgone! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!
they probably didn't care since they just came inthe downstairs and grab a couple of things and left
Hi, tor!
then they went to the next house where the door wasn't locked
I'm sure you've already contacted the credit card companies. Just to let them know and maybe get new cards issued.
hey torg
Heyas kids ..
I am guilty of not locking back door. Hubby gets mad.
hey there tor!!!
hi torgie
i spent pretty much all day friday with police and on the phone
Did you have a good birthday?
Hi, Trif!
hubby should get mad
It was good ..
Hello Trifioso!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

happy belated birthday, Torg!
Tor had a birthday, as I recall...
Did you hear them or you didn't know 'til the morning

Ooh, I love gifts!

I don't know yet, but they all chipped in, so I'm sure it will be something cool and thoughtful ..

That's cool, tor!

help for the pa 6/24? (last one!)
ummm - could I please have some help with the top center r? I have the ru 4...
pa6/24 is pa plus ru 4/5 word admadmadmadm & hello
That ra 5/14 word is King Ral** plus a vowel Trifioso.
min, you get extra credit for typing that name out!
hi, and thanks. Finally got a small board I figured I had time to play
yeah, adm suffices
FIREWORKS!!!! woot woot!
thanks so much min!!!
whoo hooo trif!
Congratulations Trifioso on fireworks! Good for you!
hi adm
Yay Trifs!!
whoooo hoooo TRIF!!
Yay, Trif!
hi adm
this marks my ninth grid finished without using the list.
Hi, admad
Hi, all.
And thanks, Min. Fireworks!
Wow! Good for you Trifioso! I have NEVER not listed.
Yay, admad!
whoo hoo adm!
Congratulations adm on your fireworks! Hooray for U
wtg trif I listed the last 5
and thanks, to Lickety, as always
I listed a lot...my head was fuzzy today...
some days it is easier to see words than others
jmc, ohmygod, just read thru chog -- so glad you're safe but what a terrifying experience!!
I ALWAYS go to Lickety's once I am half-way finished.
it was ve** ve** creepy une
Hello Uneaixoise!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
jeeeezzzz!!!
yes, jmc, I was also very sorry to read about your break in. thank goodness you are okay...
Hi, Une!
i used to always go at halfway but ata challenges me to persevere
years ago I worked with a guy who answered the phone in his office and took off out the door -- found out later his wife had just called from the upstairs of their house -- she could hear 2 guys burgling the downstairs --apparently they didn't realize anyone was home!
ty trif I thank my lucky stars they were only trolling for unlocked doors and quick hits
rudely rushing to watch Mad Men finale -- BBL!
does anyone need any clues before I head off to bedfordshire?
No thanks, Trif! Have a good night!
brb...exploring some goofy app on FB...
I'm watching Three Rivers. Never seen it before, but it is a pretty good show.It is a medical drama on CBS.
Goodbye Uneaixoise!I'll see you tomorrow in the chat
bye une
bye trif
night friends. wishing peaceful sleep to you all. :)
Goodbye Trifioso! I will see you tomorrow in the chat
night night, Trif
brb, need hot tea
mmm hot tea sounds good brb
so here is the thing i learned from the break in-- record the serial number of your computer somewhere so they can trace it if it is pawned
I am still looking for mine
mmm, it is good
i got chai what did you get labd?
did you register it with the company? they should have it if you did
hey all. glad you're safe jmc. sorry you had that experience
lbd (still fumbling on the new key board)
gen mai, japanese tea
what company?
Good idea jmcnrick! Well if anyone stole mine, they'd be sorely disappointed since my computer is broken.
company that made your computer, dell, hp, etc
my computer was missing the Q key but worked ok
Hello Dorens!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hmmm i wonder if i did
hi dorens
hi dorens
Hi, Dorens!
Hello, everybody. THis looks like a tough grid. Is it?
Hi, Nef...I didn't think it was that bad...
hi Nef! it's tricky, but not insurmountable
hi nef -- no it is not bad
down to seven.. may need some help soon tho. no list so far
go dorens go
Okay, diving in, then. :-)
are the h's particularly difficult? i can only find 3 so far
4 he's 1 hu
No, Dorens...which do you have?
Go, Dorens! You can do it!~
noun
OOOPS! Sorry. Off to the PB!
i have he who is named in a will, i have he + I'm a natural **dhead, and i have one who rushes around
peewee... use part of his last name for a 4 and for a 5
one who lives alone on a mountain is called a he**it
Think Spanish for brother, he***no...it gives you the 4 and 5
you need the daddy munster one
gracias hursh
and jmc and jellen, and dawg. what a team you guys are!
Hurshy! You still around?
so, i try not to eat very much meat. when we were vacationing in england, eating out all the time, sometimes my husband would offer to give me a bite of his. i had a bite of venison, even though, you know, you feel like, aw, deer - even though you also know the populations need to be kept down. but when he offered me lamb i just couldn't.
oh, "still" or "again"... something.
what percent of the population do you think feels this way about lamb and veal?
I can't bring myself to eat mammals...
hursh, i feel the same way. just can't eat lamb. not real fond of deer either.
24%
(this thought brought to you by the lamb carpaccio (sp?) i saw being prepared on iron chef)
If I weren't so bad about nutritional meal planning, I'd be a vegetarian.
dorens, this is why i like you. direct answers.
i have ve4/9.. could i please have stats for the other v? (just the stats, please--- dragnet)
6/27
ve 6/27
yah great hursh, but how do you like the fact that i just totally made that up? (i did give it some thought though)
ty
ve6.27
i love all meat and veggies
jellen - it's not that hard if you don't get bored easily.
i am an equal opportunity eater
I have ADD...bored easily!
well i figured you made it up, but i like people who are willing to take a stab in the dark (but only in the metaphorical sense).
lol jmc! i like beef, but i could go mostly veggies, hubz however would not agree
i eat little meat.. but am not totally opposed to it. And there are an awful lot of people who do NOT like the fact that i give direct answers... glad it is appreciated now and then
i like direct answers. if i wanted hedged ones, i'd ask multiple guess questions
then that would be hard, jellen. i just tend to eat the same few things allllll the time. pasta with vegetables. bean soup. salads. breakfast - PB + banana on a potato roll.
Direct answers are often refreshing!
and cheerios.
i love cheerios.
I used to do that, but Tim likes variety...unfortunately not always healthy choices...
i do try to be nice though-- it just doesn't always work
i've never noticed you being un-nice, dorens.
The only thing I'm pretty consistent with is my morning oatmeal...
i can eat the same thing over and over but then I make ethiopian food from scratch
dorens when have you ever been un-nice!
i've not been doing as well since we went to england... sigh. stupid cholesterol.
if you look up nice in the dictionary, you'll find Dorens listed!
lol lbd
you sure won't find me!
Cholesterol is a problem for me, too...
now if you look under dragonlady with pms, you'll find me!
haha. i guess it is easier to be nice to babblers than real life people. glad you all think i'm nice though. i think i am, but sometimes.....
if you look up 'kind' you will find my mitty kitty. sometimes she licks me JUST BECAUSE SHE KNOWS I LIKE IT! that's pretty good for a borderline-sentient being.
ken calls me "the queen of blunt" i kind of like that
Aww...mitty kitty sounds sweet!
in real life lots of people are afraid of me which i have always found baffling
but never a doubt about what you mean, dorens
between her and cinder, who just loves to lick, i pretty much constantly have cat scratch disease, which, guess what, isn't only transmitted through scratching.
as long as ken doesn't mean ganja when he says blunt dorens!
jm, no one wants to be tongue whipped if you know what I mean
i have a friend that speaks her mind.........
just dont get in her way
any hints for the hu?
hah, jmc! i think he is the only person our age who never even tried it back in the 60's - 70's (and still hasn't)
the hu7 i go the behinder i get
hu 7= the hu***** I go, the behinder I get...
jm, I apologize..........
and now i have to bring up anne of green gables... who, when mr. harrison told her it was just his habit to speak his mind and people musn't mind it, responded, suppose i went around poking people with pins and saying, "you mustn't mind, it's just a habit i've got"?
lbd is tuning in to my channel again!
ty for the apology snags i really was surprised by the remark
*donning foil cap*
got it. thanks!
i acatually have the pleasure of both cats on the bed with me right now.. the two of them aren't often in close proximity without hisses and growls
got an extra one lbd?
I ddint mean to be judgemental.lllll my bad
np snags
jm has never tongue whipped anyone in babble, or anything close!
sure, jmc. you can have my feathered one
i have 3 cats on bed, i win!
i concede.. hurshy is the winner!
Watching a rerun of House, with only 1 cat on the bed...
*puts on feathered foil hat and models*
yay house
i am down to one. a 5 letter E from the middle... anyone know the stats?
oh dahling, it's you!
sometimes we type things in the chog and they come out wrong
my cat is in her chair
change the vowel on the end of your ey5 to a cons, dor
I was playing poker the other day with a guy who looked astoundingly like Hugh Laurie...fortunately, he never caught me staring at him!
ey5.14
thanks hursh.. the works are firing
and there is no doubt people are afraid of me even though i have always been mystified by it
whoo hoo dorens
whooooo hoooooo DORENS!!!
i saw a guy in the grocery store today who looked like adam savage.
hugh laurie is cute for sure
well jmc, if and when we ever meet, i'll make sure to cower at the sight of you
Laundry time again....brb...
Adam Savage is such a geek! i luvs him
i heard him on a talk show and was amazed by his british accent since he has the NJ one down pat
lol thanks dorens
i did say it mystified me
my boss once told me i intimidated her. when i asked how, she said it was the "high professionals" in my circle.
uh what's a high professional?
lbd knows docs who smoke pot!
i didn't realize, Guido was hanging around my door! lol
a supreme court justice?
the surgeon general?
hehehe, wish some of my professional friends toked. they'd be a lot more mellow
and why are you hanging with high professionals? you providing?
Good evening one and all. I need clue for the y, please?
this all seems ve** mysterious to me
it rhymes with the pirate sound marc
don't hang out with them any more. they're all still in the professional field, and i'm just a lowly drone at a bookstore
yi+ double cons. marc
yi + the b&o or the pennsylvania
jm my son lives in DC and hangs out with Generals/
on the other hand you have a job lbd!
oh, i would give anything to be a drone in a bookstore
i got lawyers volunteering for me since they don't have jobs
yes, a lowly job, but it does pay for the gas in my car.
I just surprise generals when i offer the a GI Rights Hotline card
and it's in a BOOKstore. the smell alone...mmmmmm
Hursh, i thought the samething when i started. it's not that much fun. especially if you have neurotic bosses.
when I come to iowa i hang out with mennonites
Thanks got it
so the solution is to become independently wealthy and have your own book store
I live in Iowa a community in Iowa dedicated to creating world peace.
Hi Marc Freeman! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
bosses ARE problematic. there are some really good ones, and a lot of not so good ones. it almost makes me wish i were a boss so i could pay people generously, give them lots of time off, and treat them with respect.
the last part is the most important, Hursh. treat people with respect.
really marc? I come to des moines and washington and iowa city from time to time
and also visit the friends school scattergood
Who would ever make money if you paid them a lot, and they didn't have to work so many hours. Sounds like a recipe for bankruptcy
i am a boss and i wish i could pay people generously and give them lots of time off
i hope i treat them with respect
I am one hour from Iowa City and 30 minutes from Washington, Iowa if it is the same one between me and Iowa City. What is in Washington?
I don't mind working hard, and being paid a fair wage. but when you get minimal and treated like you're an idiot, it takes a lot of wear and tear.
well, part of it is that many people have to work a certain number of hours, instead of just having to get certain work done. if you're done with your work, you should get to go home.
a mennonite camp --crooked creek
That is the most important thing is to treat them with respect. After that nothing else matters.
there is no such thing as done with my work hursh
there is always more work
wow, i am surprised the iron chef won that one, the judges seemed to me like they were really preferring the challenger's food.
Never heard of it but next time you come let me know and I will give you a tour of the best town in Iowa. Most unique. Come the first Friday night of any month and we have Art Walk. Come when it is warm though.
i always seem to be invited in January when it is in the negatives
tell me about your peace community
that happens every time hursh -- i think it is rigged
Someone in their lesser productive work hours came up with a time sheet that says we're suppose to shelve x amount of books in an hour. they didn't take in consideration: having to shift books to make the new ones fit, put books away that customers have left out of place, and keep track of which sections need to be fixed cuz of customers (or their children).
Fairfield, Iowa the home of Maharishi University of Management. We have people meditating twice a day in large domes to create world peace. We also have 1000 pundits from India performing peace producing ceremonies. All very cool.
how long has this been going on, marc?
that sounds really interesting, marc
Since 1972
hmmm
Have any of you heard of Transcendental Meditation. That is the basis of all we do.
i am familiar with the maharishi university
argh, witching hour. must head for the pillows. fun chatting with you all. JMC, lock your doors! ((HUGS)) night night everyone.

((((hugs all)))) bye Min, sweet dreams. hello all!
so. I am just getting in. the childrens' concert was brilliant today (of course). how's the grid?
O.M.G. _36_ words???? *faint*
Hi, stid! It's not bad...
that's good to hear, jellen -- how are you? I love following your escapades on twitter.
I'm well...little nervous about our trip to St. Louis to see the oncologist...
(((jellen))) my heart is with you. my hope is there will be good news.
Me too!
how is tim doing?
down to 16...
He's nervous, too, I think.
I would be, I know that.
Knowledge is preferable to uncertainty in my world!
I think so too. We go see an orthopedist tomorrow, hoping he has more experience with "idiopathic" hip pain (meaning they can't find a cause). I hate not knowing WHY I hurt.
with luck, he'll be able to at least tell me it won't get worse...
I hope that is the case...
*shrug* but I had to stop thinking about it months ago because there is no point to worrying about it. I'll be a nervous wreck tomorrow though.
is the lone A at the top fishy?
oh. And I have a HUGE first draft of the term paper due this coming Friday but they only listed the expectations two days ago... *panic mode fully engaged*
No, it's not fishy.
It's au 5/12
Augh! re the term paper...
thanks for the AU
down to 11...
You go, girl!
is the Y fishy?
ugg...24 left...late start tonight
Nope.
hello MPittore.
yi 4/6
Hi, MP
yirr
oh gee... thanks JEllen and MPittore! LOL
Ten now.
Um....that's it!
hi stid..
oops how dood i do dat LOL
okay, is the list working today?
Yes, it is
YES! it is! back for help in a moment...
need help on fr
french for brother I think
hello hoot!
or fr***Jaques song
hi stid - long time no see!
ty got it
down to two, both 6s. VE 6 please?
lousy spelling ......
more so on ve4
thanks for that hoot
one...
yw
clue on ur?
Hi, hootowl
fancy name for pee
hi jellen
is the PA 6 fishy?
no
help please?
my back hurts and I need tom to adjust it again...
golf score + i am s*** of it
hoot -- I hear your granddaughter is BRILLIANT in school...
pa* for the course + put a horse out to past***
thanks hoot, that's firbirds for me!
and jellen! great clues, ladies!
well great - I haven't heard anything from them!
Yay, stid! You're awesome!
woulf was good in school too
glad to help - congrats
oops... I saw Woulf just in passing a couple weeks ago. He mentioned she was getting nice comments on her work.
I am not surprised about Woulf -- he's rather a bright young man, isn't he?
in passing? Was he here?
thanks for all the help. I wouldn't even have started this one without Jellen to hold my hand!
And yes but not bright enough to call once in a while
that's maybe just a "guy" thing? my Tom, as lovely as he is, doesn't call his folks unless I remind him.
my boys are the same way.
It was easier than I expected. Finished in about 1/2 hr last night. Being awake helped too. And 2 important clues. Including the pa.:D
I stopped by the grid one night and he was here, yes -- I was totally surprised to see him!
being awake definitely helps when doing the grid... LOL
hmm - guess I missed him. I tend to come in and out usually
clue for ru?
so hows school?
and I am notorious for NEVER mailing letters even if I write them, though I will email frequently once you get me started.
one who regrests
RU: person who regrets?
school is... difficult. I find the expectations not very transparent, and poorly articulated. I don't do well with "mushy" assignments and incomplete feedback.
i can't spell for nuttin tonight
Otherwise, I am told I doing pretty well -- I worry that I am stupid and not understanding assignments.
dam - that isn't helping at all is it? Can you prod them with questions to clarify?
I DO take longer than other people to put things into words when I am doing "highbrow" stuff, so I sometimes can't really contribute much to in-class discussions. But I write pretty well.
ty got it
discussions about what? teaching?
I have prodded with questions until I think they are about to burst from frustration. I have backed off, and trying to "trust the process" but have little confidence in my ability. I have rather low self-esteem, it turns out.
clue hu?
discussions about the history of teaching, learning theories, teaching methodologies...
I always was better at writing stuff than talking. I even do it with the grid.
hu : person who goes faster
hu7= the hu***** I go, the behinder I get
thanks for that, hoot -- I was feeling quite alone in my weirdness on that!
nah! lots of people are like that. Have to think on paper or it doesn't stick.
my fingers remember words quicker than my mouth, that's for sure! At least that is true since the car accident 20 years ago. Which I haven't told the faculty about because in most cases it isn't an issue.
ty stid
That's interesting stid...
go MPittore go!
need ma's 20 left
you also have to consider that if it's that difficult for them to clarify, they aren't doing their job well.
ma6 is one who makes messes and ma5 is a color
maybe dirties stuff is better
Tim is harassing me!
I have considered that, hoot -- and I am not the only student who struggles with this. So I think I won't "fail" for the quarter and I will be allowed to move ahead in the program next quarter. But I will believe it when I have the paper in my hand that says I pass!
growl at him jellen!
*stern mama look at tim* *STERN mama look, young man!*
Tim stuck his tongue out at you, stid!
well if it's more than just tyou - it's definitly them!
*gets out needlework scissors for tim's tongue*
He's incorrigible!
or is he encourageable??? *wink* maybe you should go sleepy-bye, young lady?
I will stay until flip, then I turn into pumpkin pudding...
thanks hoot. (((hugs))) you're right, of course.
can't get ma is a color?
He's just being a brat...
ma 5 is a purply color
stid have you ever cooked with pumpkin? BF was bound & determined to eat pumpkin and was very disappointed when it tasted like nothing.
ma 6 is a person who marks things up. like th pa 4/5
that yucky purple-gray-blue
pumpkin needs spices, hoot -- or lots of butter, like other squash.
we have used pumpkin as filler in spaghetti sauce and such. And you can make a nice pumpkin bread (like banana bread).
did that and still tasted like nothing - but spices. No flavor of it's own.
still not getting ma color
oh that tim! *exasperated mama look*
ma + Ford Explorer is a S** + vowel
ma color... color of the 80's usually coupled with teal
yeah - i have the rest of it in the freezer and I'm gonna try the bread. Certainly didn't taste like the canned stuff.
good clue dee!
18 left
crud violet
the canned stuff is pre-spiced, hoot.
Hi, Dee!
ty stid hugs to you
go MPittore go!
hi jell!
not the Libbys - do it myself and it's delicious
generally speaking it's prespiced that is...
or think of Bea Arthur's TV role (not Golden Girls).. spin off from Archie Bunker... change the middle consonant
oh! my mother used to use that! *memories flood back*
I've that stiuff and don't buy it. Libby's recipe is great and I can add more or less of whatever
we get nice non-pumpkin gourds that have better flavor than jackolanterns, but in a pinch I'll use any squash for pie/pudding
sorry volley don't know that one
i've SEEN that stuff
try a different one, MPittore...
it's mauve - what's next?
I like the hubbard squash, personally...
LOL GREAT clue hoot!
ohno - we bought a cooking pimkin- sucked
no's
well we're running out of time!
the modern cooking pumpkins are sweet but not much real flavor to them. lack oomph
black and part of speech
no 4/4: french black
no 4/5: not verb or adjective; person/place/thing
