Ah, wonderful, Lickety! Thanks so much!

TY Lickety!

I've got them perfectly.
got an error page here
Working OK for me too
Morning all - same here - get a 404
not working here boo hoo
I get the 404 error message also.
Maybe you're not using Expert, where they've arrived just fine. Lickety said there's a new URL for them: http://r46.me/babbleclues
exactly what nonnie said
tried that and still get 404
that still gives me an error message, but ty jili
I tried the url also and got the same message
whew so glad it wasn't just me
Oh well -- try emailing Lickety!
I tried refresh...maybe I need to go out and come back in so I'll check in the morning...well later in the morning.

nite, Dee!
morning all, hail and be merry, for the icon themes have finally been truly updated! :)
hi spritey! Good to see you!
jilli, and vice versa :) Took me a while to process your email, but it is done, and I copied all those dates to next year as well.
What was in need of processing?
your email about the holiday themes
aw I like your icon :)
thanks! And I wonder if someone fed steroids to that kid in yours!
yeah I wonder exactly the same thing.
Just had a look at the long icon theme list and I wonder why you have Dec 3 as US Thanksgiving -- it never is that date!
I still cannot access the email on my old computer and some people had sent me icon theme suggestions. But they haven't resent them to me, so I will have to make up new ones. Let me check, I have probably made a mistake while reorganising the list.
It's aways the fourth Thursday in November
Oh, I see what the email problem is. How frustrating!
yup, thanks for seeing that, jilli, I copied the week and didn't see I copied the theme as well. Will correct now.
It's there for next year too
one more question, jilli: Hanukkah, is that on a set date or on a set day or like Easter?
It varies, sprite
ok, will remove it from next year then, it will be on another date then.
yes, and I have no idea when
there! I put Hanukkah in for next year, but without a date. We will check then.
It may be Googleable
sometimes it's spelt Chanukah
or something like that
will check it next year, it is in the themes so will remember. Oh, and I have decided I like your Xmas themes so much, I want them for next year too. Copied them in already :)
Well, I hope it won't be too hard to find icons for them!
of course it won't, you'll see!
oops I should be in the sin bin... the ic4 is in the grid. *trods off*
Well, I'm exactly halfway here, but still with 3 BT! (Oops -- I'll be joining you in the sin bin as long as there's a bed in there)
*makes a bed for jilli with lovely clean sheets and pillow thing*
sheets dried outside on a line so they smell sweet :)
mmmmm!
exactly! Nothing better than that. Especially in winter, because it is so unexpected then :)
Can't do it here -- against the rules to have a clothesline!
*puts milk and banana on bed stand*
are you kidding???? Why is that?
oh, thanks -- just what I want (and will have in a minute)
washing on a line doesn't look nice
They Say
I actually like the sight of clean washing in the wind
am baffled. Didn't know there was a place with a rule like that.
I just might break the rules, but I'd need someone to climb up a rocky outcrop and get on a shaky ladder and fasten a pulley to an old oak tree.
no adventurous grandson available?
Nope. Not anywhere nearby! I might be able to find someone, but it really is rather hazardous.
*cuddles up on jilli's bed end for a late night chat*
wouldn't it be cosy!
I'd love to. No kidding. If I had the money to buy tickets, my first one would be to visit you.
but I must head for the real bed, I'm afraid, and stop interrupting your word search. How are you doing?
Awww, sweet.
got 40 in so far, looks like a tricky grid. Sleep well, dear jilli, and dream even better :) *hug*
It's tricky, all right! But you'll do fine, as did dart and dee and maybe others
am confident I will find them in time :) Bye jilli, it was great to see you again.
So have a great day, spritey, and thanks for doing the themes again. Do you want me to send the explanations for the Christmas ones again?
oh yes, that would be great! I made such a great text from it, but it is on my old puter. I'd love you to send it again.
OK, will do, maybe tomorrow, ok?
no hurry! When it suits you, it's ok.
ok -- fare thee well now :) xoxo

Hello again. Hi Sprite!
hi lyn :)
ic4 themes are fully updated now, lyn, in case you are interested. And I am finding this a very tricky grid!
TY Sprite. Agree - struggling to get to 50 but perhaps I can blame the heat - ?
I am pretty sure that must be it for you, but I don't have that excuse. It is cold out here. I still need 61 more words even.
but... there is my sweet dolphin :)

Hello Judi,Merk,Hego & Eva :-)
clue for on6/24?
hi zoom
LOL, Trif. Love the Hostess treat cake. Ring Dings! Huzzah.
thanks judi. wish I had one about now. I am STARVING.
on6 is the same as the other make your eyes water vegeatable but different ending.
i should of said there are three on words that are the same vegetable.
are there only 2 un 6?
thats right Merk
there is a un 5 also
m's mushed
got it thanks
yw
clue for the go 8 please
now that is a word i just do not know how to clue..i have never seen that word before
Well zooz, you helped me so much the other day that I should be satisfied. What does the dictionary give the meaning as?
it says -a type of Persian pottery ware. Origin:
I've had words before that I was clueless on how to clue.
I'll keep searching. Is there a reverse dictionary site?
perhaps it can be clued phonetically.
Persion pottery. Oh yeah. Got loads of that laying around.
wouldn't have any other kind.
*persian* rather.
Google Persian pottery ware
I did google it, but found kubatchi ware
hins
Gesundheit.
Try Wickipedia
excuse me, enable, but "noogie" is indeed a word.
7,15,13,2,18,15,15,14
their is a go9 too
thats the plural of the go8 Kallia
yep lol
hi all
shall I try to clue it?
Pleas, Kallia.
i just did see 7:58am
What are those numbers zooz?
*please* Sh*t. Can't type today.
thats the word in numbers
ok lets see
I got it. Google pays off.
go + 13th letter+your short brother + opposite of offs
good one, zooz, thank you!!!!
yw :-)
g's gone
That was a weird one.
ty everyone
Cracking clue, Kallia. Many thanks.
I think we can safely say that it is a first time occuring in the grid.
must admit, not seen that before..ever..well untill now..lol
i found the word on good old wikipedia Merk.
i agree with that Merk.
Let's hope we never see it again.
lol
Errgh. I had to call the doctor this a.m. I think I have Lyme disease. Every joint in my bod hurts.
I need an on 6 clue. I have the plural for the root vegetable.
Kalia, your clue for go8 seems to be 9 letters
n's nullified
it is the same Merk just dif ending
describe the vegetable, merk
an 6/21 clue please
Not good news then Judi, bitten by a tick by the sounds of it.
it is almost the same as the on6
I suspect so, Zooz. I was chasing the cat through the tall grasses a few weeks ago. Interesting factoid: cats don't get Lyme disease.
Which o did you begin with ... top, third, or fourth row?
o's ousted
third row
Clue for last un6? I have the merger one.
Everyone singing the same melody line; it's sung in un****
Ty, Merk.
That is the kind of clue I need for the on 6, but I don't think it's a real word. I can't monkey an on word that sounds like the other on 6.
ON6 plus sometimes vowel ending.
Now that I can get. ty
soz, not good at cluing..lol

Good Morning!
Hello Car!
Happened again...as soon as I write in the chog...my babble grinds to a halt and gets very slow! Anyone else having this issue?
not today, but did have that yesterday.
op 7 = op + not your daughter + not out Found it searching for the op 8, which I still have not found.
And even if I exit out of Babble and come back in...still slow! And it happens on my computer and my laptop! Very strange!
That is strange indeed.
there is no op8
did not know there was an op8??
morning car! got your text by the way - can't help. secondo has therapy after school today :( sorry!
maybe your isp is slow
Dylan is home anyway. Think I will leave him at mom's.
I'm looking at the chat log from the wee hours of the morning and someone listed it. That's how I've found which long words to search for. But it is agony doing it this way. I wish a list would appear.
And that lucious desert is from where?!?!?!?!
Merk, Lickety is up.
Oops, I just go to the log where they said it is op 7, which I already have ... a gerund.
so it is thanks Annie.
Ummm...why isn't hoisin a word? Isn't it a spice?
Yes, I've noticed before that they will not take it.
It is an Asian sauce, but so common, I expected to find it. Also it's not a brand name.
ai 4, an 5, 6, 4, 6
OK...this lag is driving me crazy...and i have work to do. Have a great day everyone!
bye Car, hope it fixes itself soon for you.
here are the e's: eg 4, 4 en 6, 6 ep 4
how can it we eg 4, 4 if the e and g already add up to 4?
eg4/6 x 2
two eg 6's
it was a typo
Not a typo. one eg4(/6), another eg4(/), one en 6, another en 6, etc.
merk, thanks for the a's
Thanks...my brain is delicate in the morning. It might explode......!
the other is eg4,6
going for a walk ... bbl
later, merk :-)
bye for now Merk

Not really here, not even really lurking, but was checking my e-mail and saw Babble open... hoisin is not a brand name and should be accepted, but isn't. Sigh. There are many brands of hoisin sauce out there. Anyway, off with me to make dinner (possibly using some); have fun folks!
interesting. TY
hi/bye, Monkey!
you know, I still have one BT, the center O. would love to get that one.
os6/21 rbud
not sure if it comes from the center or the top 0 though
hi all
well, don't have it yet, so ty, it'll help in any case. :)
could also be oh5/16
is anyone else having trouble with the expert
working fine here Boo
yes! the oh did it! - but that makes 9 gerunds, I think!
well mine isn't
thanks rbud, that means I have one to go
hey guys
heck, now I have 10 gerund endings, I give up on thinking I'm done with them. (just added cow talk to the list, lol!)
hi ishult
got the mo9/78, any clue to other 9?
go 8/65 & go 9/84 (pl)
ty
hint rbud?
for the go
now have 11 gerunds
anyone got the u's?
go 8 = iranian pottery, weird word. it's in Wikipedia
ty very strange indeed
I have un 5/12 and its pl, need one more.
the u words are normal words
I need the second co 5/16 if anyone has it
ru, do you have co7/40? omit third letter
missing that too
those are my last c's
co7 - 2 agree on a contract
co math term
isn't that the co 6/27 flosey?
co 5 = co + "Cal***, take me away" bath oil commercial
sorry ru, you're right, co7 is to transfer to another
don't recognize that commercial rb
take the 3rd letter out of the co 6/27 for the 2nd co 5/16, I think
co5 could be a cornerstone
that's co5/16, co6/27, add a vowel
okay, ru, try co + "***e with the wind" - scarlett & rhett story
that is the first.. I need the second 5/16
my clue was for the second one ru
so was mine at 10:13, unless there's still another co 5/16
there is
or stick another cons, in co4/5
though I basically borrowed the clue from flosey, credit where due. :)
finally..
I hate words like that
yeah, silent letters, pooh!
fireworks, and my last word was similar to the word just clued - so6/24
yay, flosey!!!
now have to tidy up my office, ugh! carpet cleaners coming in tomorrow morning
don't work too hard, flosey, have a good day!
thanks rbud, trying to get rid of old files, etc - stuff I really don't need to keep
be back tonight at flip
no, late flip, bridge first
wow, all that and I still have 8 c's to find
I need a clue for the co 7
what you do when you have some one else sell something for you, in which they get a part of the profits Ruru
not pro but co* + si 4/6
good clue, meliae, like a co*****ment shop for clothes, etc.
thank you
kept looking down on that one
the c words are killing me
and you're welcome
i'm only missing 2 c's
I am really struggling with this grid..
Join the crowd, Ruru.
Me too Ruru and the second cup of coffee is not helping at all, lol
lol, was just wondering if a 2nd cup of coffee would help me, guess I'll pass on it
these "i's" are killing me
any clus for the two en's?
en that runs a care
car that is
fishy sorry ty
en 6 more than en6
ty, ru
hi ruru and rbud
morning boo
hi, Boo
argh and ugh....
I take COMPLETE exception to the co5, 18. no definition is provided, either, but I know, really know, as a new england girl born and raised that that is NOT how you spell the name of the clam.
first ho 7 pls
I am off my soap box now.
trif -- TY for your rant, that gave me the word! everyone knows its spelled with QU!
I agree, Trif. We would need a Qu for that.
thank you evanadine, for validating me as an adult and as a new englander!
nm
Thanks trif I'm from New England also, and I missed that one.
Unless we're talking about conjoined swine.
*giggle*
Yep I agree about the clam word
lol! that would be spelled jonandkate, I think
maybe 2 people are keeping something all to themselves. CO5ing it...
ROFLMAO!!!
Quoink!
tor, you will not BELIEVE what I did last night - I will never live this one down....
if I try to enter monsoon one more time I am going to remove the M from my keyboard
Do tell ..
I got in a fender bender. I backed up and hit the fender of another car, quite hard. That is bad enough on it's own, but the car I hit makes it all worse - it was the car from Primo's driver's ed course. I am SCARLET
and now Sacagewea has her first boo boo
Oopsie ..
the driver's ed instructor could NOT have been nicer - I would say body damage is rather par for the course, really. Of course, normally it is the students inflicting the damage, not their moms. (scarlet again just thinking about it....)
hints for the corner E?
ep4
more than one ep
ep3
oh, hey, tor - did you get your present yet?
really? i hadnt tried that already? i swear i had. *facepalm*
as usual, the G's are a nightmare
how about the O dead center?
reacting to fireworks, evan
clue for the os 6?
Not yet ..
os + beginning of movie theater
center o is oh5 and oo6
hmmmm. wonder what it is, tor!
Thanks hurshy!
which are related.
n
oh 5/16 (dbl the 1st vowel for a similar sentiment)
and hows about the lower N and O from the column beside it?
the lowest N is the hawaiian goose
i have that one. need the N beside the center O. and the O beneath that N.
or4
llike a sphere
TY trif. got the N that sits atop that O?
yes, hang on please...have to figure out which one it is...
happily hanging. :)
no 7/36
i *think* it's the no7 that refers to the gallows
which is sort of appropriate, what with all our talk of "hanging" lol
yes, thats it -- thanks! finally got NBT. now, i just need a 9-letter word for NBS...
hah, very true. :)
I need the po 7, 36 -- anyone have it please?
dont have it, sorry...
I can clue the go 9, as it is a completely odd word that hardly anyone could monkey....
what a model does
sure...
alt spelling lol
go + initials of toy company that makes monopoly, then another way to spell ancient writing
and then plural that mess
po + a trig function, not the si 4 or tangent, but *****e
TY! thats NBT and NBS for me. :)
thanks br! that's the p's punished
wahoo eva!
and on that note, time for lunch!
I seriously need to get my fat a3 up and get stuff done, but this grid has me trapped.
r + the lachrymal veggie; pl
BR, can you see me?
yes
how do you do it?
I recall your picture?
or simply guess
no, no, what I meant was - how do you always know exactly what word I am trying to monkey, and clue it every time, almost always unbidden? That is some mighty ESP you have there!!! :)
could anyone direct me in the is anything direction?
I have 14 words left, ruru, and almost ALL of them are i's, so I am almost no hope at all. I HATE I words
I do have the first is 8 = is + photo***** -- easily photographed
sorry - add a vowel after is
thank you
de rien
just monkeyed a 7 - same start as the other one, and then **** baby ****
???
is other 8 change the vowel after the G
thanks mel
clue for the op7?
**** Baby?
not closing lbd
ben affleck directed movie....not there anymore, because it is ****
thank you
do all the io words start the same, please?
i have all the is's now
I only have two io's
they start somewhat the same
how about the other op7? have the first one, thanks ru
I don't have the other LBD sorry
op + do re mi fa **l la ti + dressed to the ***es
thank you BR
thank you! weird words today!
I have all 3 Io words which did you need?
I need the io 7
io + opp yes + ***e Kelly was a great dancer
same first 3 letters + 3rd vowel + ***eral Mills Cereal
I cant believe I have been struggling with this grid for so long and I still have 50 to go
lurking for clues

Good evening everyone. Bit late in coming in but better late than never :)
hi elder
hi all
whoo hoo merk
hello jmc.
I thought everyone was deep in the grid or left.
ok - weird question: what are the letters of the top row of the grid?! I JUST logged in, but the word list is more than half full, and I haven't played in about two weeks...
refresh spec
i have been in and out as usual since it is a work day
E P O N H on the top row.
i just changed my icon to create a happier mood
Work for me too.jmc and a lovely Icon:
and you and I can go skipping off to the pb together!
Oh yes :) I don't think anyone noticed ..
i don't think so either elder! ;-)
'giggles'
(i did, but won't mention it!)
we could behave really badly right now and no one would see *streaks through the chog*
lol i knew there were lurkers! hi kanga
when did you finish your degree?
(averts eyes and heads down to breakfast) hi jmcnrick!
Any talk of risk taking or PB releases the lurkers. Hello Kanga:)
all finished last monday. (there are no secrets in babbleland)
congratulations!!
actually didn't lurk. (for once) turned on computer to check weather and there you were!
i beg you pardon then!
better go and feed children. thanks for congrats! enjoy the freedom (if not the horrid grid).
Kanga good for you - well done on obtaining your degree. Now you can relax a little more.
Bye Kanga.
bye kanga
Just seen the male genitalia. Am tired :)
i never saw it so ty!
i am trying to download software to my new laptop so am distracted with that
I have enough trouble concentrating on the grid this time of night , but it's nice for you to have a new lap top.
not for the reason i got it -- my house was burgled so i had to buy a new one
Crikey, that's horrid, hope the insurance paid out.Crumbs did you have important/secret info on it.
i had a bunch of clients stuff so i am upset
under the deductible for the insurance to boot
Bl....thieves, they cause so much stress for people. Sorry, to hear your awful news.Any chance of catching the blighters ... finger prints etc.
Shouldn't the plural of bonus be "boni"?
Hello Tor and yes:) but you can have the word sort of, change the last letter to sometimes vowel.
Yeah .. close enough I guess ..
best we can do :)
sorry went off to look at software
wb jmc
they got finger prints and if i can find the serial number of my old computer they may be able to get it from a pawn shop but so far i haven't found the serial number
i personally never saw the plural of bonus in real life
is there is ps word?
successful searching for number jmc.
jmc no ps.
successful searching for number?
the only number i see is the one from the beatles album played backwards
serial number for computer.
Ditto on the plural bonus ..
ah i keep trying for both! lol
Just found an Mh4/6
ty elder
yw.
jmc, have you called for tech support from the manufacturer of the laptop that was stolen If so, the serial number may be in your tech support file.
Hello Babble and good thinking.
I check with the place i bought it from and the place i took it to and neither one kept the information
Hello
oh dear:(
i should be able to find my receipt but it is buried in the files some where logical that i can't find
but thanks for the suggestions -- it took me two days to think of those options!
seems to me there should be a gerund for mooses ;-)
There is for squirrel .. only fair ..
Rocket J. Squirrel
:-( my download of op** office just died

yw. :-)
Hello, Wolvie
hey BR

complete with troll like language wolvie!
still looking at the grid, not chat. :-)
I am off to try to raise money bbl
bye jmc - nice to run into you
bye je hi wolvie
hi TO
Bye jmc.
good grief. I have monkeyed some of the weirdest g words today. Wow
and i used to like g's. just goes to show ya
certainly some odd ones here today:)
of course h's are killing me
;-0
are the long wrods gerunds?
I which it was just the h's:)
' wish'
some are, some are down right odd - at least to me
lol elder - cute
and to most babblers I would think.
the 9's?
I only have one 9 - go9 - plural of go 8
not a gerund
sounds like saying ao sweeping item is missing, just switch out the m and n, and leave out the e. :-)
there is an mo/9 same ending as the iso/8
er - what?
LOL - crazy clue, sorry. go plus coNsoNaNt, then what you sweep a floor with, only use a m not an n at the end
ty elder - I will look for that
i am just not far enough along yet. is there at least a lickety today?
then plural for the 9
i sure hope so TO. I am about to need a list i think
I am diving into the grid and need to go to clues to try to get my last 30ish. I need to go to bed, but cannot resist trying to finish. Will rise for air later.
have fun elder and good luck!
Likety is there - thank goodness. and thanks Wolvie.
oh - good news - ty elder
hi folks
hey peri
hi all
tough little stinker of a grid today, huh?
hi nrkii
hi nrkii
my sentiments exactly!
a bit rough, yes. ;-)
nerky .. shouldn't you be getting your car?
The C's are my particular nemesis today
nrk i made a last minute trip to rice's saturday AM...it was COLD
i found a few of those tough too
LOL, torgone... been and back already!
how did you make out at Rice's, Owl?
well i went for avon and i got that...also flowers. too cold to decide on the draft stopper - as seen on tv!
lots of fake coach, fake tiffany - if you want fake they have it
hi all. same here... only have half the c's. this is a toughy!
hi doren!
hi Dorens
hi all!!
down to 46 left... dare I ask if lickety is up?
hiya Gwen
hi dorens and gwen
elder says it is Dorens
34 left here
kfkfkfk
66 here
i think i am headed over there too - 32 left here and my eyes are crossing
igrone that
bummed out, bills keep eating all my money! argh
i don't see how they can get away with it
they do that Gwen,, and it is a major bummer. ;-)
kfkfkf? are you trying to channel kafka?
crap, can't spell, some of the plugs came out from the back of my computer, mouse wouldn't work and I couldn't type anything. but I fixed it
wow peri. Glad you fixed it
peri the computer fixer!
wow. just spent far too long painting some weirdass train from "In the Night Garden" - kids programme - for a present
can't renew my stinking auto insurance. keep checking my account and still not enough for minimum payment, argh! (michigan requires auto insurance and has highest minimums too)
peri, way to go!
hi ata!
well ata, i'm sure the recipient will appreciate it
hey there ata
and hi :)
sounds like a ni** present. :-)
hopefully :)
Did anyone see the chocolate covered bacon on the Early show this morning?
there is a laoian tribe in the grid. doesn't count, though
there's a store near me that sells chocolate covered bacon
no - but i have tasted vosages(sp??) bacon bar, not too bad
I always think "Crossy" when I walk by
TO - i had no idea. ;-0
lol nrkii - that makes sense
That's who I was thinking of.
and the great romantic poet, lord b****
ever famous for bacon
lord b*****loved bacon? i am gettingconfused...
heh! he probably did!!
okay, have all but 3 C words, moving on to a diff letter
actually,, that was in response to owl's mention of the laotian tribe, had blocked out the bacon
but lord bis not a word!
i'm eternally impressed nrk... i still only have half of them, but when I look at the list, I expect to do a bit better
like your tribe, TO. ;-)
Dorens, had to use a2z to get my most recent 4 c words
bless you nrkii
I am hoping that the list will clear it all up, but want to get a few more words before I go there
i need 64
I need 54
26 here
3 more and I'll list... I want one more O from top, one more S, and the N from row 3
i need 35
hey, beck is in the grid!
I just listed after battling the m's. ;-)
actually, even tho i'm down to 35 i can't get nbt... the n in the third row, fourth column is eluding me. beck? i don't see a K. what do you mean owl?
sorry, my bad...reused a letter
it's a gerund
thanks ata, I forgot to double that vowel!
thanks ata. that should help... i have many gerunds, but i guess there's always room for one more
i'm not sure which n that is dorens
ata has it right i think
of course I have it right. LOL :P
yep, ata was right!
I think ..
got it. thanks
stupid ass n word. pardonmy french
I was all set to argue with her, but I knew better in my heart
well, it is what the lynch mobs did, isn't it?
;-0
got my one more O, now just one more S and I'll list
oh my, I was missing the music si4... how pathetic
yay for bonios
argh, just had someone cancel an order!! this is NOT my day. and my BF has the flu so I can't come over
bummer Gwen. hope it gets better
sorry to hear it gwen
sorry gwen
anyone wanna buy a book? heh heh
"You can feed 'em all day with the Vitamin A and the br5 fizz... but the medicine never gets anywhere near where the trouble is..."
Gwen, as soon as I'm employed again, I will, I promise!
geenrk how are you holding up?
i sent an email to flu guy about the alka seltzer thing, someone in the chat yesterday said it helped with the symptoms (hmm, might have been the chat at a diff boggle)
thanks nrkii
owl, not so great... money starting to get a little low
drastic measures are looming, I fear
oh dear
i didn't know you were out of work nrkii - sorry to hear that
oh no
yep, since February Wolvie.... sigh...
sorry nrk. times are tough for many folks right now... (not that that helps any)
poor nrky :(
I am getting the sense it's getting a tiny bit better out there, but not sure that will help me much
whoa - that is a long time. I hope this economy turns soon for the regular folks. I fear it may not, it took many years to get to this point.
btw nrk i like your car. how do you rate it?
anyway, it's not tragic, just unsettling...
we have been lucky here in the wolvie abode. I am thankful every day for that
ah, the car was purchased over a year before the job was lost, and I bought it used, but with only 13K miles on it :)
I had a Taurus before that, which I thought was too boring, so I decided to go sports-car instead
my mom has the Taurus now... I turned it over to her with 99,980 miles on it :)
Hi fellow babblers!
hi beach
hiya beach
how do you rate it? i am beginning to look for a car. will probably go to the carbroker for an off lease yr old one
Anyhow, the Infiniti G35 Coupe, which these days is the G37, is pretty fabulous, even used
well that is cool nrkii
hi beach!
nrkii, you do a lotta driving, eh?!
Gwen, I do about 20,000 miles a year
well, not this year, with no commute :)
weee, found an 8
nrkii, are you still doing some consulting?
ty for the info. there is a dealer right here, may take a test drive
Owl, I would definitely recommend Infinit in general, and the G37 specifically
peri, no, nothing right now
nrkii, you beat me, i (used to) do about 15,000. much less these days, driving "ecomonically"
ty. see a ton of them around here nd i am a sucker for the good looks.
my consulting client is having his own troubles
i bumped into the former directorof our learning center heloing her sister sell jewelry at rice's. she said she can make with one class what she made at work in a month
so basically she has to work a week to live as before
wow... maybe I should do that!
what did you consult in nrkii?
she is dong lots of leadership training
operations/management wolvie
so you can teach it as a consultant
where is she doing this? how is she finding clients?
of??? - i ask because i used to consult, and my sis still does - she does SAP
LOl wolvie, the bane of my current existence!
what, SAP?
not sure, nrk. govt is a good source for training jobs
i find it infinitely boring, but it pays well
I was working in market research, on the ops side... as a consultant, I was doing some work with a former employer on a major internal project they were ramping up... I was basically project managing it for them
yep sap! doing uat for our new sap
fireworks'
yay wolvie!!!
oh. lol - she is doing the a global roll out/implementation. she has been in the uk a lot.
wtg wolive!
I'm not on the technical side, more on the user side. I tend to be the one who works with the tech people to help translate user needs into technical requirements, and vice versa
she works for honeywell right now
we have tons of consultants/contractors on this project. from ibm, hwell, others. anyone who has inplemented SAP
hmm - honeywell is on a hiring freeze, per se - but i think it will lift at the beginning of next year. or so a little birdie tells me. ;-)
what project are you working on? you may even know my sis. Do you have a lot of ex bearing point folks?
also nrk real world business expertise is in demand for teaching at business schools
good field nrkii - needed big time
no bearing pt folks that i know of
no bearing pt folks that i know of
then nrk you are a systems analyst. you are needed to interface between users and geeks
ah. well - if you have honeywell people, she probably knows of your project. :-)
I have a lot of confidence in my own value, but most jobs out there want people who have SAP experience, or are six sigma black belts, or have some other credentials that I don't have
BUT if you are in a pinch, govt is hiring big time
nrkii - i will ask my sis about it - i'll let you know
I am a great interface between users and geeks... I love geeks :)
as a stop gap
very true TO
thanks both!
long phone conversation with my mom.. back now.. what is SAP?
a business software Dorens
interfaces all facets, so they say. :-)
systemic approach to business mgt/integration, driven by financials
worse than a foreign language to me.. I have no idea about that stuff at all
funny thing is, in companies I've worked at who had SAP, they ONLY used it for financials, and didn't integrate it with anything else
ERP will make our busienss run more efficiently and effectively (i drank the kool-aid)
ERP will make our busienss run more efficiently and effectively (i drank the kool-aid)
well, they wasted their money then nrkii - and a considerable amount!
ERP = ? (electronic records...?)
oh it will TO. Pat assures me it does. :-)
yep, wolvie, true that
actually it will make life easier for the accountants. the rest be da**ed
at any rate - i must go and make dinner - nrkii - i i will catch up with you soon on the grid - or you can find me thru other babblers on fb. :-)
enterprise resource program
want points for boho, waaaaaa
just found that :)
sap has no translation
hmmmm, not sure I like the concept of ERP, but only because I've seen first-hand how dangerous such tools can be in the wrong hands
ie, senior level execs who don't actually deal with the realities of the business
we are replacing COBOL with sap
like replacing a philco radio with hdtv
help with ho8 pls
yeah, I would think so!
ack, what happened, Owl, are you ok?
so they had all these custom built ancient tools that weren't really working, and now you're bringing in SAP?
(hoping Owl has stopped hiccuping)
owl, nothing comin thru
:0
:0
old stuff worked but was not financially compliant. gap and all that
whoooo?
SarbOx?
huh?
Sarbanes-Oxley... 2002 act that caused the most ridiculous need for added process in order to comply with financial requirements
The place that I retired from a couple of years ago put in SAP 'cold turkey' almost - as well as finance modules used for warehouse/distribution and production. OK system, the way we implemented was not though - wore me out
and I say ridiculous only because the requirement were basically a lot of paperwork that proved NOTHING about actual process
doh! my business law teacher would be upset
nrkii, sweet deal for some, and crap deal for others, no doubt cooked up by the former
sounds like another "triumph" of W administration
every single organizaton that has implemented SAP has had major pain. EVERY one.
the finance people got to the point where all they cared about was that the document was filed -- they couldn't care less whether we actually followed good procedures
2nd h5/12 pls
a judge is called Your Ho***
heshey's ""lost "its whole inventory of back to school candy, the busiest candy time of the year.
heshey's ""lost " its whole inventory of back to school candy, the busiest candy time of the year.
sheesh, thanks nrkii
??? how'd that happen?
still 39 to find
Yeah, we heard of similar stories here - like debtors out of control/irreconcilable
they had so much they had it stored in an off site warehouse. sap could not recognize it, guess they didnb't think to program it in for a temp condition
down to 14, but might break to make dinner. a girl's got to eat. (just stopped to check email and saw great pictures of my grandkids... I'm swooning)
actually, Gwen, it came out of the house as a bi-partisan sponsored bill
nice Dorens!
nrkii, still sounds like a crap law! (and please don't assume i'm a dem just cuz i think W was rotten) 8-)
wow, Owl, this is where I get crazy about people who get so tied to tools, procedures, and rules that they lose sight of the actual business
in our first implementation we also had warehouse issues, with SAP not being able to recognize the same material stored in different locations
Gwen, I just don't think W could have thought it up, crap though it is, it's rather complicated crap :)
help with in7 pls
no, no, i never said W thought it up, don't think thought anything up. but under his watch, so many laws passed that basically wrecked and racked everyone but the very rich
in my last job, because of SOX requirements, if a client came to us and said they had a project they wanted to do that day, and it was $50,000 of revenue, we would have to turn it down if we were really going to follow the rules
in7 badges on uniforms are in****ia - finiesh with another vowel
ah, got it Gwen... according to Wiki, this was in response to the Enron fiasco, among other things... in my experience, the worst laws, rules and processes are invented in response to fiasco :)
thanks lyn

Ugh - ok - Not trying to be rude and interrupt the conversation (but hello, first!) Is Babble being weird for anyone else? I logged in and half my words were already filled in my list, and when I tried to refresh the page, it kicked me out for a couple hours... And Here I am, logged out, then back in, and I still have half the words done for me. I feel cheated of my word seeking fun!
game was wonky yesterday. theory that the backdoor code has been (or is being) worked on
were you babble-walking in your sleep last night?
congrats to lynx and nrkii!!
ah, thanks book dr. I wish that were explanation, Nonnie!
I think this is a stinker of a grid...I wish half my words were done!

that bravo was also for your wise diecion re monkeys
thanks inge, you're very kind, to both me and my primates
Well, I'd be able to finish by looking up morewords (28 left) but I have to go -- bridge night! What an annoying grid!
on 6/24?
po7/36 turns out to be a swamp which no doubt you could cross in your moccasins
io8?
on 6/24 is the adjective of the weep-worthy veggie (stick the sometimes vowel on the end of the one before)
like homogenic kje
on 6: add the sometime vowel to the item tht makes you cry
very strong veggie like ru
io? not is?
thank you.. did know you could do that
I still need help.
PO 7?
gerund the 4
Like io ()salt) kje
1st po 7 sorry I have the second

Gute Nacht, and when any of you catch video shots of the Berlin Wall coming down, think that I shed a tear each time it comes up. Tears of joy and gratifude
nemoy wasn't it?

hopes of succeeding without a list are fading very very rapidly
why no list, ata?

oh dear ... that bad ...
I've only got 62 words...listed at 60 and it's not looking any prettier!
os6?
no clue yet, sorry, shirl

Hello everyone I agree it is the grid from hell.

I think I need to take "Babble French 101"
bon jour all
hi jmc ;)
I am back DR. Sorry to have asked a question and then not act interested in the answer. Very rude of me. Eldest boy went to court with his ex today and I had to hear how it went.
a pig can be said to be por****
oh my, bugs...
Dealing with exes is never fun Pini
been there, done that, bugs...I remember :(
that is an interesting fact about pigs but what does it have to do with the grid?
os6 :) follow the reasonging
(was trying to figure that out myself, jmc...since there's no K in the grid)
ty ata!
so how many pini?
uh - only 81
you?
97 left
not too far different
hi everyone! go jmc, go pini! git r dun!
hi lbd ;)
i would say that except you are faster than I
It's been a day...waaaay too much for lunch and a very rich slice of chocolate on chocolate on chocolate cake!

Hi Pini!

Hi Jmc!

Birthday, pini? are you OLD now? *innocent lurker look*
I am throwing in the towel, have a good night everyone!

night sea!
Hi Stiddy!
night night, sea
Happy birthday Pini! please leave cake in the PB
hiya stid!!! (Still old enough to be your older sister!) :)
bye sea
:-D my MUCH older sister you mean! *pinches pini for luck and runs away*
Oh, I have plenty, lbd...will be happy to share!!!
*OUCH!!!* why, you little....
be nice to your elders, Stiddy!
my boss brought it in for me this morning from one of the best bakeries in town! :)
rofl
especially when they need a walking frame to try adn run after you
down to 133, and MUST get back to reading and taking notes.
oh Atalante! that was wicked!
I think she was referring to me, stid! :)
I have a sick stidkid this evening, went to his grandparents from school. Tummy ache, now a fever and headache. I am WORRIED.
awwwwww
AND have a HUGE draft of a paper due on Friday. or is it a draft of a HUGE paper due? Either way, I have barely started.
lots of fluids (juices without acid)...
hope he feels better soon!
poor stidkid, and poor stidmama
and my meeting with the other orthopedist leads to "there's nothing obviously wrong structurally the only way to really see what's happening is arthroscopy" *sigh* NOT what I wanted to hear.
...and * snapping whip * back to paper then to grid...
...or is it the other way around: grid first, then homework?
yes, and black tea, and still has to take the antibiotic from last week.
so he is feeling just miserable, poor kid.
try green tea, it's less acidic
oh well, he's young. We'll watch him closely tonight, if he is still feeling poorly tomorrow I will skip class and take him to the doctor unless Tom can take a second day off work.
as long as he's keeping food down and in, it may just be seasonal flu or a cold.
Hadn't thought of green tea, will try that next pot -- trying to get his intestines to dry up, actually.
I'd help, but I'm a bit far away...
that's okay pini -- if this is contagious, you don't want it!
sending healing thoughts to stidkid
ooh, good point!
* sending positive healing thoughts *
oh, snap, lbd!
*grabs foil cap and dons it quickly*
* enjoying foil slippers *
*offers lbd her feathered one back*
i have extras, jmc. you can keep the feathered on.
*one
*beams*
thanks all. now, I think I will go attend to some studying. is it is "stidying?"
* giggle *
See you-all in about an hour when I can't focus on things any more.
*poof*

I'm so bad at clueing!
forest gump said "babble is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're going to get"
not you Pini- the grid
you did great, ata!!!!
oh * sigh of relief * DR...I thought I was going to have to reach thru the screen therefore a second!!!
* there for
Ata - thank Gawd for that. We had a sad moment yesterday though. I glanced into the sump end of the waterfall as I was going up the garden. Thought I saw what looked like a leg (animal kind) in there. Called Stepdaughter to come and look, too. Then went up to shed to get implements of restrieval out. It turned out to be the only hedgehog we've seen this year, took boh of us to lift the poor drowned thing out of a pond it should have beeen able to climb out of. It wass a 'fresh' corpse, so must have blundered into the small pool last night. The only explanation I can think og it that is was drunk on a neighbour's windfalll apples.
: ) - remember my son is a blue belt in karate Pini
* standing down * Oh, did I say that out loud, DR?! :)
sorry to hear jac! :(
oh Jac! A hedgehog... Wow-
awwww poor thing
we get possums and racoons and bats
Pini - when you make a wildlife garden over 30 years, like I have, a hedgehog drowning is a big deal.
in5/16?
I can imagine, jac...like one of the family?
I do not think I have ever seen a hedgehog
up close
Pini - in5/16 is the first 5 letters of what state you might try to maintain whilst wearing a headscraf and dark sunglasses, Yu might want to remaon in5to.
Jake's bed time- bbs
last co6? pls
Not one of the family, Pini - since we've seen no headhogs for past couple of years. But sad, all the same.
I always find it amazing that hedgehogs aren't common over there
Me,too, Ata. Maybe they are, but no one is out at night to see or hear them?
thx jac!
python: the last co6 sounds exactly the same as the previous co6, but is spelled differently
co + 'biblical transgression' + vowel.
ty, jac
and house
in6? ext the in5 (in hiding)?
in + rabbit
rabbit????
usually spelled with an ey
co4.7 is a rabbit
artless = in6/27 or in +A MISSPELLING of rabbit.
would never have guessed that meant rabbit!!!!
as in co*** island, ish
thx to all for the help on that one!
great, 24 more to go and Koda needs to go outside...
best hurry myself and get back!!!
:)
cya in just a few
Ata - how's the bog stuff going?
finished bwahahaha!
woohoo, ata
hi all -- 90 down -- a long way to go!
gn6 & 7?, pls
So, you know everything there is to know about Irish bogs now, Ata?
oh yes. everything
I'm sure that will come in very handy one day.
maybe ...... LOL
I've learned and researched many weird and obscure things in my life. but most of them come in handy, one wy or another, at some time.
would you say you are 'bogged down"?
back...
Anyway, Ata, when you, me and FM visit Haz - which we MUST all do together - you can take us to visits NI's bogs.
ni5?
not nephew?
one is a relative, one is cousin to moo
oh yes lol. and lead interesting and knowledgable conversations about them

ru...it might boggle one's mind

*** whacks pini with fish ***

Ata - thing is we would all probably take great interest in what you had to say AND we'd ask questions. Serious now, not being silly.x

oops
oops indeed.

it would be fine up to starting to spout scientific acrotelms and catatelms and pedosolic profiles LOL
thx ru ;)
*easy for her to say)
no5?
no + me in french
no + mine in french
no + me in french i mean
Ata - well you might have to dumb it down a bit afdter that,m but it'd be fun wouldn't it? Let's do the get together soon, within next 18 months or so?

oy...these are not getting any easier!!!
20 more to go! :(
no6? oh5?
oh - gerund
no6 - gerund!
thx ata
no6 snozzing
oh is gerund too
this grid is remarkably hard for as few words in it
