You'll be assimilated soon, resistance is futile! LOL

* giggle * you've got that right, pav!! :)
Oh, boss, don't be afraid to have some fun and join the chog! We're all pretty friendly here!!!
I'm feeling ab it chipper..managed to get some crucial housework done...

yw pini
too bad it doesn't work in the grid, josh! :|
Pini...I said SOME house work...far from finished...it's baking season anew and aI have much to do...
my sentiment exactly
well, I could use meals for the week, too!!! * big grin *
I made this killer "minestrone" since it's a bit chilly today...throwing half in the freezer...
and then some tortilla soup...yummy!
...and you'll be thawing it which evening?
all hail to freezers!
has anyone found the lone t?
Yeah, I just froze 1/2 a sheet cake...gads, I don't need to be eating that for the next several weeks!
trade?
I think someone said to7?
a couple have found it to7 36 or seomthing like it...
I'll have to think about it, Pav...minestrone v. cake...what are the odds???
i am still looking for it cant find
yes to 7, 36
to7 is a boomerang word
not as far as the dictionary is concerned, though
according to the chiro, I've lost some 20 pounds since this past Jan...
boomerang word?
congrats, pav ;)
desription of or type of?
thats what i want to know cyber lol
as in pertaining to boomerangs or as reversing on itself?

thanks pini
stuck with 45 to go -- no list, so will wait until tomorrow
ok i will thanks for the tip
list is up, nan
...and when you get stuck, check out Lickety's Babble Clues (below the grid) for a clue list of all of the words (the first 2 letters of each, the number of letters in each word, and their respective point value) - just open it in another window and place the windows side-by-side :)
I'm still getting yesterdays, and it doesn't refresh
well done, nan...sleep well ;)
try this - right click on the clues page and choose refreh
close/reopen, nan...
close and re-open, nan -- flosey and I both had to do that
mine worked ok, lickety ;)
that worked -- ty lickety
I've been having problems ever since I saved your revision a couple of days ago
thanks for that tip, Lickety -- may use it another time if necessary
I still have 2 BTs :(
Lickety i just sent you email
HI
hi herin ;)
Thing is i have never been able to get it to work right the words wont go directl in when i type them using expert

yay well done speedy fireworks
dang, dart....did it again! LOL
YAY dart!!!
better jilli... a really bad migraine yesterday
HI LORED!!!!!!!!!!!
oooh, sorry to hear, ru
You guys with migraines have it really tough!
WTG Dart!
oh ruru hope you get better hugs for ruru
i know of two people including myself sho have had accupuncture for migraines worked for us maybe an avenue to explore ruru
Runs about hugging people
hugs herin back
I just came back from a hair cut I am now happy bunny
new style, herin?
got your ears lowered, eh, herin? :)
sure it wasn't a "hare" cut?
you still look Mahvelous, mi'Lady...
Yes new style. I have a fringe
oh, aren't we just a cute little group! LOL
you'll have to post a picture
Ruru - I have a suggestion for your migraines - I read several years ago that a magnesium supplement can help, because people rarely get enough, and if you check your multivitamin, it usually only supplies about 10-20% of what you need.
Awww thanks. I have to at least not look half dead for a pic to go up and I have to fix my hair
we'll wait, herin! :)
how many words do u guys have left
hmm Met.. may check that out
too many daboos
I began supplementing with it when I used to get cluster headaches, and it helped immeasureably - I rarely get them anymore.
well, dart-the-speed-demon is finished already!
daboss, dart has already got them all
I'm up to 71
I've just passed halfway mark meself..
I get a lot of migraines.. especially with little grids..
I'm not half way yet
i have 108
Getting enough sleep also helps....
perhaps it's a bit of eye strain for the small ones?
I actually saw my original hair colour today for the first time in years. Sorrry to be borring
still 2 BTs -- the lower O and the bottom N
well, dang, you're doing better than me!!! LOL
well done, jilli ;)

Hi lynxxx
hi there Lynxxx and Stewart

now for that lone T at the bottom...that's the to7, right?
Hello Lore!! you have time for us again
yes, pini
it's musical
I see today's grid is brought to you by obscure words
* thinking *
lol, cute, herin! :)
the to 7 isn't obscure
oh, crud...it's a real word???
yeah - found the co8!
that I should know???
well done faith
Today everyone was looking at me and when I was eating a donut as a treat and some one else looked at me I felt like yelling ''what have none of you people seen afatty eat a donut before
it's real, pini
I used to play the clarinet and bassoon, I sing ..my mother played several instruments and was concert pianist...the to7 36 is not common enough for me...
just remember to avoid it being the t above the bottom t...you have to use it somewhere in the word
Now you have me curious Pav. Do you still play?
nah...I gave up after the band leader demonstrated the techniques/notes/whatever after having smoked his pipe..not a pleasant aftertaste...I prob could ta4 it up again...
the to7 is "A virtuoso composition, usually for the organ or another keyboard instrument, in free style with brilliant passagework."
I would play if i could. I used to play trumpet until my teacher killed off my music passion.
eeww PAV
must be close to stoccata
Personally, I faked clarinet...
i play percusion
drop a letter pav
take off the s, pav
my dau was the first female on her school's drumline!
or was that stacatta, stoccatto
thx pav and dart and jilli!!!
kool pini

Thanks Pav & Dart! not being musical I would not have got that

What sort of car Norma?

How are you doing MVA? Not blown away yet?
ge 6/24 please
was a close thing yesterday!
Are you near the coast?
ge4/6 + 2 vowels
about 10 mins walk, did you suffer from the gales?
Nothing structural, just plenty of dead wood around for kindling when it dries out. We have a lot of trees :-)
But the noise was amazing!
thank goodness for heating and double glazing!!
Yes - and our cosy log burner.
shone
shot
Oh, oh, so sorry.... Crawls to PB.
biggest problem was trying to keep 2 kittens (reently spayed) in!!
recently, even!
lol MVA. When the weather is really bad ours go mad indoors, chasing the wind!
still too recent for chasing anywhere!
Aaah.
funny to watch tho, with their post op collars on! bumping into everything
going now, stripping wallpaper, oh joy!!
Let the kittens help! Bye MVA. Stay warm.
lol, good luck in grid
TY. Nearly done. Nice one today.
And fireworks for me.
Yay for zoozzzzz!!
we had a fair amount of thunder here on the isle of wight yesterday too.
Yes, some relatives in the south had thunder and hailstorms.
Why is cack not allowed, I wonder? Had some on my boots this morning!
LOL, sally
Fireworks for me too, Really nice grid today. The size I like, and mostly normal words!
Well done Sally :-)
Must go. Bye to all the lurkers.
well, i`m off to do other things, might pop back later to see if any one would like a clue...bye for now.
Good morning to all and bye to zoozzoom
My goodness, every morning there is a 'dead' time when I appear to be the only one here.
I'm here Merk, just lurking. not awake yet.
Atlanta, Blueheron, Herin, are you here, too. Morning, Hego. I'm doing the same as you.
I'm here too
Just going for NBT
morning merk and hego
I'm almost half finished. I think I'll make coffee. Anybody else want some? I can make a bigger pot.
NBT?
puy some on for me!
I would love some merk
Remember, I make a wicked cup of coffee.
that's a good thing
It's okay I need it.
Do you not know nbt?
Coffee is brewing. No, I do not need NBT.
coffe smells great. I feel better already!
Oh Merk! I just slid in. Am I too late for coffee? I was about to brew my own but yours sounds better. I can bring chocolate chip/walnut/cranberry oatmeal cookies, okay?
And I just have plain old Oatmeal raisin.
Mich, you're picture is awesome!
I cut out almost all the sugar and then go wild adding all kinds of other things!
Thanks Merk
If you put the sugar back, you'd really have something there. Yum
Can anyone clue the ac 6 & 7? Are they a combo? Are they related to the other ac's?
ac6/7 add ac to no4/5
not there yet mich, sorry
No they're fine with very little sugar. I add less & less sugar with each batch. I am down to about 1/4 C brown sugar + 2 T splenda, down from more than 2 C in the recipe.
2 cups. Yikes!
That's because I automatically double every cookie recipe I make. We are a big family with lots of friends over all the time. I prefer they raid the cookie jar than eat other garbage.
Sounds good
Try it, if you start slowly, no one will miss the sugar.
You know, I just read that somewhere.
Breakfast now bbl. bye mich.
Hey wait a minute, what about my coffee???
That was Merk. She's not back yet. Sorry
c
Oh OK.

Good Morning, Babblers!

grid is a breeze so far, down to 52
ear plugs, weed... make the investment
*hands featherbee some earplugs*
morning feather
this house is the definition of cacophony sometimes
Oh feather, I can so relate. When my husband complains about the noise, I remind him that some people have no noise......
life, weed
lol, yeah, it's ok. bothers doug more than me most times.
i have a high tolerance for ignoring noise
took hook
worm squirm

cya. i need to shower anyway. peeeeyou!
and it IS a fish dish... how did you know?
bye kje
bye bee
I'm back from brkfst and bye bee
toasted challah covered in chive butter then topped with scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, capers, and chives
bye bee
bye kje
Good grief, kje. I'm glad I've already eaten or I'd be drooling. Do y'all know that we decided to have a breakfast buffet at my house. I said I have a huge table and make a great pot of coffee and an amazing oatmeal. You may make your favorite breakfast foods here; someone volunteered to clean up. Then we can tour the Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore, and The Badlands.
You pick the date. They were looking at spring time when the hiking trails in the Hills are opening.
I cannot host it in January or July because I'll be in China again, but anytime between those months works good.
... and Fireworks!
good morning, babblers and hi Merk!
wtg Merk
Hi JBV.
and hi kje and sealem, glad to see you back
hi JBV
Merk did you know I've been studying Chinese?
thanks JBV
hope this one comes through, have trouble with the connection. Red boxes of doom and disappearing chat entries. Hi all, bye for now all, back later.
No, wow, that is great!
not getting very far yet, but coming along with the basics
well out for a while, good luck and see ya'll later!
Wo shri Mei Gua ren. How about you?
wo ye shi mei gua ren (did I say what I wanted to say? I am also american)
Thank you, everyone. See you tomorrow, I hope. Remember to start thinking of when to come for breakfast. Very good, JBV. Bye now.
Hi all, I am back after about a zillion phone calls. I am off to make my cup of coffee now. BBL

hi JBV
thanks! Great icon and tool, flosey. Me and my girl have very long hair as well, will get me one!
thaks sprite, and old toothbrushes never get tossed out, always a household tool here too
Is it something they sell, Flosey? My girls are always complaining about hair in the drains, and it's never their hair, it's always someone else's (!)
:D
yes Mich, can't remember where I found them - think it was one of the little catalogues that often come out before Christmas
I say that, because I added them to daughters Christmas stockings (one hubby was particularly pleased with it)
Cute idea. I'll see if I can google something like that.
could somebody please check my profile/icon? I updated, got an error message and everything was gone. had to refill all boxes. Am I back, please?
I see you there Sprite
I see you with the glowing uplifted hands
I see you, Sprite. Good morning/day to all.
thanks :) Then I am back, thank you for checking.
hiya Scrabs *hug*
hi scrabbler

How is everyone doing?
a little over half, quite a friendly grid today
so far, so good but I still need 42 words
I jst started as I decided to read the morning newspaper first.
any good news in it, Scrabs?
I'm sort of plodding Scrabs, up too early, will try to finish then catch another hour or so sleep - hopefully
going for second coffee, brb
Biggest news for our area = ABC's Extreme Home Makeover was in the city this past week building a home for a family, and with record # of volunteers over 50 homes were repaired.
that is really good news!
Homes got new roofs, new paint, new porches, landscaping...Buffalo is truly a City of Good Neighbors!
great story, scrabbler
The show will air in January.
one to4/8 over the line sweet jesus..one to4/8 over the line..sitting downtown in a railway station one to4/8 over the line;))..tea is ready!!:)
It is a nice story in the midst of unemployment, murder, war, etc
GM Crossy!
*gives silly crossy a hug*
Gosh, I've always sung that song as one toe over the line.
Crossy, I thought of you a short time ago when a TV segment discussed healthy vs unhealthy holiday eating and the comment was, "Beware of anything wrapped in bacon."
lol silly mich
Me too, Michnick
isn't Babble educational!
Of course I always sang Michael Jackson's song as "Don't stop 'til you get it up." No wonder I get strange looks whenever I sing!
you never stop learning in babble
I get lyrics wrong all of the time
a friend of mine always sung " you're the devil in the skies" to the Elvis song.
It's funny, I was once given a book of lyrics people get wrong. "Stop!! In the neigborhood"
i know the bacon is bad scrabbs,one day the dr will corner me and run blood tests.but till then..ITS BACON TIME!
lol! Great title!
There is a web site with lists of incorrect lyrics--funny
for you michnick :)) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuS-9hx 2JYQ
as dutch girls we sung along with all english lyrics without having a clue what we were singing. Just copied the sounds. It is so funny when later on you start understanding what they mean! And what we filled in ourselves.
In case anyone's interested, misheard song lyrics are known as 'mondegreens'
(crossy fears the lipid test) ;((
interesting movieman,never knew it had a actual name
[waiting for movieman to tell us why...]
why 'mondegreens'? Hi Movie my man.
are you allowed to just tell the doctor you don't WANT a test?
and for those wondering about to4/8: a tip or gratuity given by a gambler to a dealer or other employee at a casino
From Wikipedia: The American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term mondegreen in her essay "The Death of Lady Mondegreen," which was published in Harper's Magazine in November 1954.[3] In the essay, Wright described how, as a young girl, she misheard the final line of the first stanza from the 17th-century ballad "The Bonnie Earl O' Murray." She wrote: When I was a child, my mother used to read aloud to me from Percy's Reliques, and one of my favorite poems began, as I remember: Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands, Oh, where hae ye been? They hae slain the Earl Amurray, And Lady Mondegreen. The actual fourth line is "And laid him on the green". As Wright explained the need for a new term, "The point about what I shall hereafter call mondegreens, since no one else has thought up a word for them, is that they are better than the original".
love it, thanks movieman!
delightful, movie! Thanks :)
yw
hurshy, is a doctor recommending a test you don't want?
hi hursh
well i can hurshy,i can also stuff pencils in my ears..neither would be good for me i imagine;((
not exactly - i'm asking cause crossy with the bacon
or another meaning of to4/8: a puff of a marijuana cigarette
actually I think they would look gorgeous on you, crossy
yaa! peace out groovy duuude!
lol sprite
TY for the lesson, MM. Hi MM, Hurshy
That is the only definition that I knew of, Sprite
but what are you going to DO about it - stop eating bacon? in which case, why don't you stop now and make it easier for your body? and if you aren't going to stop eating bacon, why have the test and torture yourself? why not just eat bacon and be happy and then drop from the heart attack?
i know exactly what would happen..i would be cut down to a measly 6 eggs a week,no bacon,no butter,no cheese..;(((
the other one is right under movie's big post
i feel like we (including me) have a very dysfunctional relationship with modern medicine.
and for those wondering about to4/8: a tip or gratuity given by a gambler to a dealer or other employee at a casino
we weren't wondering, lol, cause we all knew the marijuana meaning.
well I was wondering =P
sniff..that thought made me sad...think ill make everyone smile...cheese and bacon omelettes for all!..;))

just clued,hego
ge4/6 + double vowel
I saw the five, the salami, I'll go look.
just reclued! :-)
could I have a clue for ta7 please?
way i do my omelettes is i take 3 eggs,let them warm up a tad on the counter,then really fluff them with a fork get lots of air whipped into it.pan has to me my mommas old cast iron pan.thing is 40 years old and nothing sticks to it.i add ad pat of real butter into the pan and when it is really sizzling ,i add my eggs.about 60 seconds before i flip it,ill add my maple cured ham bits,some finely diced green onion and about a hand full of delicious shaved 4 year old white cheddar.now i fold it over and cook till i see the cheese oozing out the sides and cook all golden to the side of the omelette.now to serve it up with a bit of fresh ground black pepper and a very light sprinkle of the coarse itallian sea salt i have..mmmm.. did i make you hungry??? lol
Une's clue at 8:26, hego
hey, pab!
heartwarming indeed, thanks :)
tx, guys. Yum crossy.
isn't it, sprite? sooo sweet
Hi pabtrek
and hi hego
hi Scrabbler
Yummy, crossy
hi Une
how many sh's? have 12 so far
omg Crossy that sounds absolutely fantastic
at least 18...
Mmmmmmm, that sounds so good. And that video is adorable. I have to check out that website some more.
13
can almost smell it cant you? lol
yes, crossy! :-)
ouch, thanks, hursh!
crossy, what are you still standing there. Come over here and bring me some!
I always beat the snot out of my eggs, too. So nice and fluffy.
14
any gh's ?
I have one so far hurshy
question: is lanterfanting an english word too?
gh4/7
what??? LOL
and Gail, you have such a delicious way of putting it!
have never heard it sprite
Tuesday's gonna be a drooling day -- theme is homemade bread!
I bake bread every Sunday.
too bad! It is dutch for hanging around doing nothing constructive. Should be adopted in english, it sounds great, 'lanterfanting'
have i ever told you ladies about my home made cheese bread?? hehe
I am hoping for lots of good recipes for bread. I want to start baking again.
like "dolce far niente"
the brits have faffing
si si une
exactly, Une. Italian sounds great too.
Une, that video + story are SO sweet! I love animal rescue stories!
me too, scrabbs!
faffing. Psah. Sounds aweful.
esp. that one image of the baby and the big white goat sleeping
and then we've got lollygagging
ah, yes, hursh!
I like to dawdle, myself.
oh yes the ending of that vid is too cute. The little face. All happiness.
Happy little goat...
lollygagging sounds disgusting. Like you shouldn't stick in the lolly that deep. Now dawdle, that is nice.
we came over from the auld country in 66 hurshy,so i know all the slang,except the most recent stuff;)
and of course we should write go4/6
I always told my daughter not to dawdle on the way to school, and she finally told me she never knew what I meant.
does anyone have a clue for ta7 please?
lol Gail!
ta + consonant + no4/5 flosey
thanks Une
Haha, Gail
yw :-)
gotta run . . . 22 to go . . . be back tonite to finish -- have a great day, everyone!
Bye Une
night Une
I mean have a good day, Une
50 left--time for breakfast, although I haven't decided what to have yet
some yoghurt, a good apple, and some serial?
with a cuppa, of course
i have one se word are all the others sh?
i'm missing one S but other than that yes all sh
I think so
thats all i have left then... 5 of them
narrows it down nicely, doesn't it!
one rhymes with the King of Pop's nickname
and the other is like it but double the vowel.
no
not double the vowel.
remove a cons.
it does, now if i could just have the sh there permanently instead of retyping it for each try LOL
i forgot which of my monkeyings had worked out. :)
lol Nanette
hursh, such delightful children on your icon. Are you spoiling them rotten?
hi all
hi jmc
no, i am an excellent aunt. fun but upholding discipline.
jmc hi, how are you and the family?
see how efficient I am, my icon is already something i am grateful for
thanks for that king of pop clue hurshy, it took me a bit but i found them
so proud of you, grin. They are doing you good, don't they?
we are doing well thank you
cute kids hursh
cute kids hursh
sorry for the echo
Good to hear.
i went to see them yesterday, that was fun
jmc, you are very efficient :) How's balancing the sadness and happiness today?
more happy than sad -- most of the mourning to4 place while holding mother's hand over the last several months
am glad for that. Big *hug* for you all.
one left and its a 6
go5?
just one kn?
my biggest sadness is that since my laptop had almost all my photos I am having trouble finding a photo of mother for the memorial program
hi kje
yes hursh
Babbleland has been a big support too
yiddish word, kje
We loves ya jmc!
has the laptop died?
are the k's all 4 except for one plural?
yes hursh
no i was burgalarized a week before Mother died
yes hurshy
yes hurshy
ty, got it
hi kj
oh no jmc That is awful
omg that is awful, am so sorry. Stealing one's memories is even more criminal that 'just' stuff.
yw kje :)
hi, everyone (je, see if lickety can bring the one you posted up from his archives .. don't know if he saves these files, but it's fairly recent if you can give him a guesstimate of the day you posted it ... a birthday, i think)
that's awful - can you advertise for the return of the photos? even burglars sometimes have hearts.
well they didn't know they were stealing my photos
i hope it was password protected to prevent any identity theft
Thank God you have a sense of humor to get you through.
there is a slim chance to get the laptop back
Hi welki. Great photos
so sorry, jmc
that is such a good idea welki -- but wouldn't it be Dr. God? I will email him today
hi welki and hego
okay i just dropped in so i could have some idea if I would have time to finish the grid or if we had finally gotten hit with the tsunami grid
yes, dr. god ( i thought they were the same person)
no this is a gentle one, jmc. Pretty fast too, provided you keep the chatting down, lol.
hi sprite
thanks hego
see you all later since I should be able to finish (provided I keep the chatting down -- ha! how likely is that!?!?!)
welki: drGod is the one who owns the website. Lickety is the husband of a babbler and has made us the second letter clues and the babble expert.
very bloody unlikely, jmc, thanks god :)

thanks met
Thanks met...
none of you are very old at all...
we lit the cake candles and the fire alarm went off
Bealted Happy Birthday ruru
Ms Pug is doing OK - she's in a lot of constant pain from her health issues, and lots of other people's stupid BS pressing down on her
TY seal :)
oh.. I hope things get better for her. I really like her
YW blueheron - tysealem
Ms Pug is my true soul mate - she really is the other half of me - that's why we've been friends for 32 years.
I miss you two cracking jokes on the chat.. the two of you are really fun
It is great to have such a long lasting true friendship always treasure it
Caitlyn - these are the best times, if we don't have any pressing health issues, they're LOTS of fun!!!
so she met you when you were 18?
Enjoy them MetFan :)
I was in college - and my best friend at the time introduced me to her sister Stephanie - we hung until I met Ms Pug, and found I was hanging with the wrong sister!!!!
Stephanie's OK, just a bit too much of a Jap for my taste
she has such a sharp mind and quick wit
Jap ???
OOPS - I should say 'princess"
oooooo
LOL
clue for the go5/20 please
Which is why we gravitated toward each other, ruru
*ducks from flying diet pepsi cans *
I love your sense of humor, ruru
blue extend the go4/6 with a cons
I am just a goof.. I like to laugh
2nd go 4/6 sorry
You're sarcastic without being in the least bit offensive - that's a rare quality
thanks cait
I can never achieve that balance
yw blue
oh.. I wish that were true.. sometimes my comments get me on the hot seat here with some people
I know the feeling....
Never with me ruru
you are a direct person Met.. you say what is on your mind
thanks Cait..
Yes, but I can be too brutally honest at times....
sometimes I careen on the edge of sick humor that only someone as warped as me gets the gag
Put 'er there, pal!!
LOL
That's another reason Ms Pug and I are so good together - we're both warped in EXACTLY the same ways....
hmmm I 'll bet on that..she cracks me up
And we get each other's sick sense of humor...
BRB - must have a cancer stick
you two had me in tears once.. it was sooooo funny
see ya later met.. good to see you
I think we'd be great if you got us all in the same room....
Same here, ruru - BRB
let's do that on Long Island some day
Well, Ms Pug never travels - she has the fur kids to take care of, but I'd be willing - how close is your proximity?
Oh the chat has gone very quiet
I take that back LOL
Yes...Mr. Loud and Obnoxious is back!!
Dont say that !! Did you enjoy your ciggie?
I only really enjoy the ones I have right after eating - all others are for the hump of addiction...
Snap!!!!
Although when Im having a drink they seem to taste better LOL
Are you close to Ponty Pridd, caitlyn? It's the only town I know there because Tom Jones is from there and I'm a HUGE fan of his....
Just a couple of miles down the road Met in fact hubby is there this evening waiting for a taxi to bring him home.I have always loved Tom so snap again!!
And now I know of Rhondda !!!
ok im back had to eat
LOL
WB daboss
Saw him in concert a few years ago - the culmination of a dream to throw some powder blue undies on the stage...
Although Met Pontpridd is just outside the Rhondda so dont get that wrong in a quiz
LOL Met did you do it ?
Didn't realize I'd mis-spelt...
You did well
Of course - when I was young my Mom always watched him on the telly (Dad would go do something else while he was on), so I did it for me and for her.
That was very good of you
This past Sept 26 it's been 10 years she's gone....
The last time I saw him was a couple of years ago in Cardiff I didnt throw any panties though, Bridget Jones knickers dont do it for him
Should have bought some cheap tartier knickers, then....
Its 10 years since I lost my dad just a couple of days before your mum
It's weird - Four years later Dad followed, on Sept 9 (the same month) - Take 9 away from 26 and you have the number of the house I grew up in !!
Strange!!
Strange also that you lost your Dad within a few days of my Mom - Is your Mum still alive?
91 left!
wtg daboss
well done daboss!
thanks

Neat word.

Good luck, all. Glad it was a small grid, I din't have as much time with the computer as usual. Really big, one, I'd be here with half left to do, begging clues left and right!
Excellent stuff again today BabbleRabble. I especially liked the definition of mindfulness.
ty helen
Hello, Bugsaw
How many hours a day do you spent searching the web for pertinent stuff to share with us all BR? I am always impressed by your choices
not looking forward to this: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/15/busi ness/15digi.html
third sh5 please
can anyone please clue me the ge 6
ge4 and 2 vowels
I am a frequent visitor of a support site. When a question arises, I am the curious sort. I look until I am satisfied or frustrated.
ty joanne
yvw

PB for me.... Taking a raincoat for the trip
hello all! you getting the same weather, Bugs?

sh & look in every **** and cranny
yep, same here Bugs -- but I must go out in a couple hours to take kids to rehearsals. *sigh* I might break down today and buy a latte for the road...
omg ty and that's an Indian word too
tyvm
Jess, that patent application sounds devious.
how's the grid today?
Nice Stid
It wont cause you any trouble stid. Some weird words but some great clues for them too
and the Mexican food gave me 126
thanks for the confidence in me Bugs! LOL so -- did you have to read Skinners "freedom and dignity book" when you were studying? It is assigned for this coming Wednesday, and I just got my copy. Wondering how much time I should set aside. Doesn't look too dense at the outset
go joanne go!
Congrats Joanne
126 is the count stid...i am done and ty
ty lyn
oh! YAY joanne! *offers nice choclit truffles*
If it is BF Skinner I must have read it and disagreed with just about all of it. All I remember about him is that he was nuts (no opinions there at all...)
Let me know what you think and if i should reread it now that I am older and wiser.
LOL yes, my mother has a very poor opinion of him as well. I am going to try to set aside my preconceived notions, but suspect it will be difficult.
awww ty stid
Well done Joanne
My teacher (psych prof) says that it may be hard to read, but useful in an historical sense just because it informed many of the more modern theorists.
Your prof has a point. Read it for its historical value because a lot of researchers believed him for a while and his ideas influenced where their studies led.
thanks. that will help me get through what may be tougher spots. It's only 234 pages. LOL should be a fairly quick read since I don't really have to make any notes this time.
good luck with it
:-D thanks.

Only four S's left!

I just need one mat..they each have their own bedding, and for now theyt don't chew on them...just my blankets and sheets...
related to the sh5 before it
ain't it fun replacing all our stuff, pav?
sealem...are we talking about the same sh6/33 (2nd)
for me (not for the general populace), it's much cheaper and easier than raising human offspring...I'll settle for dogs any day...
A Yiddish word ..
apparently, not ;)
I have a sh6 36 and an sh6 33
that's all I have left, pav...the kids are out on their own...
sorry!
yiddish, eh?
I'm working on that 2nd one, pav
don't be sorry, sealem....you may be right and I'm just not getting it or it could be a useful clue for another word I don't have (or for someone else)
so there's a second sh6 33?
thx sealem
yes, pav
yes
hello
besides the "not stirred" phrase?
Hi all, I am back w/41 left to finish. I hope I can polish off this grid before I have to sleep.

you are doing quite well then...it takes a while to get used to seeing words, and building your
Oh, I was clueing a different sh6, there are 3?
Ha! Rookie! Be warned. There is no rehab program for Babble.
boss started yesterday, right, boss?
babble' vocabulary
Ah, sorry for confusing.
:)

Well, remember to check with your parents about going Pro...
k
ty, dorens, I needed that sh. New word for MY Babble vocab list!
Hi, everybody!! (((Pini - you done yet?))
it's an old one in my yiddish vocab, jb
The only cure for Babble addiction is more Babble...
we might also describe it as a certain salmon without it's I's (eyes)
hi JB (not yet)
It's a nice, nurturing environment, daboss. Good clean fun and good folks. Hearing that, you are probably now bored to death.
Dorens, is it a good word to use in polite company?
you almost never say sh**** without saying poor sh****
i got it my dad helped me
dorens...sounds like a type of salmon ;)
I have both the top and bottom rows greyed!
That is so true, Dorens! I never thought of it.
yes jb, it isn't a curse, but it is kind of a putdown.. better than morn, but......
Text speak is forbidden and punctuation is greatly appreciated. !$!
meant for that to be moron
hmm, I'd better check that with my work friends! (I work at a Jewish hospital...)
Kind of like a ne'er do well
exactly.... sh****s are unlikely to ever amount to anything. unfortunate lot in life
I'm out kids. See some of you tomorrow. G'day! *POOF*
I thought that the "shm***" word (rhymes with hockey puck) was similar in meaning, but more coarse?
Bye, Judi!!!
bye judi
definitely coarse! not a nice thing to say about anyone
Hi, daboss, welcome to Babble!
hi thx
Won't be saying it then, nope, not me!! TY for the clarification!!
it also means penis
daboss, cover your eyes!
Jbs, that word is much more deragatory and a real insult. (It technically means a part of a man's anatomy). The sh6 is no compliment but can be used in polite company.
but sh**** is milder
PS: daboss is a youngin' ;)
:) im ok thx pini
uh oh. sorry, wasn't paying attention. but then again, it is just anatomy, right?
GASP! That's not in the grid today, Dorens!! (but lol-ing inside)
no, i checked before writiing it, not in grid, but certainly has been, so i didn't think i needed a euphemism
* giggle *
Dang! Darn! Gosh! Golly gee! LOL!
welcome daboss and sorry - didn't mean to offend. how old are you?
can we use littler words please only in 8th grade :)
anyone want to give me a clue for at 6/33 so i can be on my merry way?
13
oh, 8th grade... you're virtually an adult daboss!
those'll work, JB!
(I am a guidance counselor, work with 8th graders... one of my favorite ages)
yep two years till im drivin
oh i got i, never mind!
's okay, Dorens, certainly a word I encounter on a daily basis (I work in an ObGyn department!!). Now, keep it clean, everyone, I said the WORD is what I encounter!
fireworks!
At6 of the Gila Monsters?
OH! Dorens, boy do I need your help. My 14 y.o. is making me old before my time!

THAT'S a word?? hmmmmf TY, got it, just bemused by it.
thx pav got it
oh ok then i will put the fish down.
another yiddish word... what can I say?
one pav..dh 4/10
Walk away from the fish, zooz, just back away...
You have a whole new Yiddish vacabulary to take to work Jbs.
LOL
and never heard/seen that word before...would have gotten it better had a certain little "blue critter" had been here so I could yell, "GO ***!"
*eloquent shrug* Dorens!
we've had it in lots of grids, though pini, sorry. I always thought it was spelled with an i, however
I think my bosses will be surprised!
:)
waiting for Pini's glory announcement....
funny pini, didn't think of that..
is babble a new way to learn Yiddisn???
now evidently boss, there are two words that begin with ac and add the four letter word from the phrase "lymph no4"...add a T to those and you have two of the biggies in the grid....

I need someone with knees, who can bend over to pull weeds in my flowerpots
I hate weeding!!! sorry.
Just, I would enjoy a white christmas, I just hated the white January and February that followed...
do not mind the snow, it is slush i hate.
nasty stuff slush..unless in a drink
I agree zooz ...
ice too.
One iof the nice things about Los Angeles is that the mountains and snow are within driving distance, but they don't come uninvited.
we have had about 6 days of snow in the 15 years we have lived here.
hello all
bet that looks wonderful though Joanne
hello all
Hello, Peri :-)
hi peri.
and the six days of it were all last year Mo..hahaha
well, I am not a happy camper, cannot find my sunglasses. I lost my new pair four months ago when I moved to my new place and have never found them. the pair I just lost were about 10 years old. very angry with myself.
Mo, your kitten is beautiful.
I have an idea peri
Yes?
Sorry to hear that Peri, they might turn up when you least expect it.
ty Christine ... it just looks like the cat we had a few years ago.
maybe you could all come over and help me look for both of them :)
take another pair of sunglasses..close your eyes and turn around three times and toss them.. they will land next to your other pair..
Hello, ruru
I don't have another pair of sunglasses, ruru :(
LOL, i like that idea Ruru..hahaha
oh..well forget that idea then..
maybe I will borrow a pair belonging to my sister, will that word?
hi ruru.
*work* even
hi mo.. hi zooz
how's the grid going for everyone?
peri were they presecription? hi a;;
remember when, as a kid, you lost things, your Mum would always tell you to think where you'd last had them .... aaaargh
The grid was a nice one today ruru.
finished ruru ... and you?
my mom always asked that about her husband
I would tell .. where did you last leave him?
hello TO ... you crept in!!!
Hello To :-)
I thankfully finished this grid... a while ago
My sister claims my house is so full of things, perhaps mine didn't leave; perhaps he's lost in the living room.

ac + lymph****
ac6 lymph

Thanks Mo, you too gone *poof*
bye zoom
uh that cclue left me bewildered
Eliz.Garret Anderson Hosp in St.Pancras -- but grewup in Clapton, then Hackney
a & lymph TOwl
an5/12 ... elbow (apparently)
ty lyn, now i can eat
Christine ... not familiar with that part of the country.
enjoy TO!!
Hackney? it's NE.London
sorry Christine ... I have heard of that area , but never been there.
I have only been to London a couple of times.
Haven't lived there for almost 50 years, but I guess it's getting better. Went downhill after the war (lots of bombs), but now undergoing gentrification
I hate big cities ... I used to live just outside Sheffield, but I just cannot cope with the all the traffic and hubbub, ... it must be my age!!!
I've never lived anywhere but a big town/city - London, L.A, San Francisco, that's it. But I think I live a small-town existence - don't go anywhere, but as long as the library stays open, I'm ok
oh its the country life for me nowadays ... we have alibrary etc 5 miles away so we are ok.
if we see 3 or 4 cars on the road we think we are "gridlocked" ... lol.
I used to be what my Granma would've called wild ( young, blonde, and 6000 miles from my family), but I outgrew all that, and now I'm a real lazybones. Don't regret anything, but don't havre the need to do anything but lie on the couch !!
I can lie on the couch as good as the next man too!
and I dont regret anything either.
Of course, being 72 sorta slows down the opportunities - well, no so much slow down, and die altogether. But that's all to the good.
My computer doesn't read what's in the screen before sending ... not my fault.
I know what you mean ... I am nearly there too!
72 chistine???u go girl
its the same here Christine ... must be time "lag".
Ok why on earth is TOCK not in the dictionary...
two pizza's done
prabaly has to have a tick with it ....
Told my Dad (who worked into his 80s - his choice) that retirement suited me - just lying around, reading. Occasionally need to get up to make a cuppa, but we can't have everything. Tried to buy a Teasmade, but found they can't be used here - bummer.
yes....
how many words total?
My Dad still works on his writing, but he was delighted to retire from the teaching early....
no electricity Christine?
126
126 Dark.
72 is a baby, here; we have 82s and probably older players.
72 is a baby, here; we have 82s and probably older players.

126
he tests me
Aaah, my hubby I can do without, and after almost 40 years divorce, I can't imagine making allowances (aand room) for another. Too set in my own little rut.
I think I understand.
some days i win and some days i still win
good for you Joanne.
tehehe
he works for me
i don't mean that in a nasty way
Some guy on television is planning a party to propose to his girlfriend --- he's got a couple of belly dancers for the entertainment --- I know that'd get a YES from me.
well on that cheerful note I will take my leave. Goodnight all and good luck.#

that sounds more like a bachelors party...
Good night, Mo. God bless.

Thanks for that clue Christine!
yw
hello tor.
time for a cupp .. back soon
nice to meet you christine.
Heya TO ..
i am watching the movie dodgeball. actually pretty funny
I'm watching the Chargers beat the Eagles ..
s'ok, not a fan. how bad is it?
28-9
:) after what i suffered at the hands of phillies fans, i have become a bit mean sportwise
does not sound like a very interesting game.
Hi all.
hi wht
Help! I only have 2 left, they are both (I think) to's. One is the to4/5 right after the to7. Can anyone help?
That to4 is the plural of a man's name.
Thanks,wht. My last word is a ta. It is a ta4/8
NM got it
Fireworks!!
WTG.
I cannot believe that my last word was, of course, one of the simplest in the Eng. lang. Go figure.
You ta4 what you can get. :^)
good night
hey i just joined
Hi tech.
hi wht
anyone 1 have any hints
hi all...just stopping by to check in...
hey pini do you know a user name by daboss
s/he was here earlier...
i was there with him we are friends
he got me into this
were you helping each other out?
goak
He got you into this? I thought you said he was your friend?
ROFL, wht...funny :)
that fuuny wht
Just think, wht...if they're starting now (as 8th graders), their vocabularies will multiply 10-fold and pass us right up!!!
First hint is to type your guesses in the add word box and not the chog. But it is easy to get confused.
well actually im in 7 th grade and hes in 8th grade
Probably pass us by tomorrow. :^)
yea i didnt mean to do that
close enough...if you keep up with the grids everyday, you'll get really word-smart in no time!
yea
might even impress your teachers!
i already do
If you type a word in the chog that is actually in the grid someone might send you to the penalty box. Don't worry if that happens. It is meant in fun.
i could teach the class im so smarter than them
and there's usually lots of phantom treats in there to enjoy!
When that happens, all the lurkers scurry around trying to figure out what the word was and if they have it.
yea i didnt mean to
how many words left
there are 126 words total to find...
how many have you found so far?
how many do u have left i found 13
how many do u have left i found 13
I've finished already. ;)
I have 49 left.
lucky pini what happens after you fininsh
I can help for a bit...
But I did a bunch earlier.
what happens after you fininsh
you get fireworks!!! :)
well igotta get off my sis wants on so ill talk to u guys later
od night
the grid changes every 24 hours (10:00pm PST) so you have that many hours to find all the words ;)
take care... ;)

Nite tech.

hi wht
I did not know there was an Arlington, Mass... wht! I only know of Arlington, Virginia (near DC)
that's the only one I knew of too, lil*
lil*monkey have no more trees to swing from now that the nor'easter knocked all trees down in the Hampton Roads area :(
uh oh
Arlington MA was actually renamed after the cemetery.
oh i see !
But there is an Arlington, Texas too.
are you a Mass native, wht?
No, I've only lived here about 30 years.
I was born outside of Philadelphia.
my mom is from Philly, Drexel Hill to be exact.
she is a big fan of scrapple
I passed thru PA once ;)
why sisn't TOCK a word?
I remember having it as a kid but we moved from there after 2'nd grade.
like, tick tock (clock noise)
tick-toc?
tic-toc?
oh, WAIT, not in Enable's world!
Enable has some very strange ideas about words.
*throws monkey poo at enable*

* giggle *
i have a EXPERT question
yes?
mlfan, what are u doing

i have the zip file
BRB, going to play Lex
open the zip file, move the .exe file to your desktop
but i dont have it on my fav places which is wherei want it i only have the reg
is it my turn yet, lil*?
You can open it anywhere...
i have the compressed zip on my desktop
click on the zip file, it should bring up a dialog box so you can pick where you want to put it...
...once you've done that, you should be able to drag/drop the .exe file to your desktop
the zip i have on my desktop is the one i am in right now
one thign tells me after right click that the files cant be extracted
destination file couldnt be created
hmmm...thinking, mlf...
with expert we whould be able to type in a word and it shold go into our list and into lickety right.?
yes, mlf
at the same time?
...but not in the Add Word box...
on the upper bar, there's a button that says "Lickety Add"...
...click on that and another dailog box will open...
cant its not yellow
...type your guesses in there; if you type 1 word it will go to the clue list, if you type more then it will go to the chog
sometimes you need to wait for the whole thing to appear before you do anything...
anyone got go5/20? can't see it :(
the buttons up to only stay yellow for a short tiem then it goes away
go + ***rititi (egyptian goddess probably spelled wrong)

scrabble?
Hey all. How is everyone. I am dropping by for a moment.

Hi Pini, how is your grand baby?
oh, no, J&J...it's definitely more BOGGLE-like
just awesome, red!!! growing like a weed!
The scrabble part is to do with the fact that the letters have different number values.
hi everyone!

Hi Haz and LBD!
hi lbd
hi haz, red and pini!

hey monkey! how did you fare in the storm?
I called my friend in Newport News and she said they had school that day until NO4!!! I was shocked. She said there was a lot of flooding in NN
I'm OK! WAs without power about 18 hours, but even worse, was without cable TV/internet connection for over 24 hours ACK!
oh my, lil*...how did you ever survive without us??? :)
as far as I know, schools were shut down early on Thurs, around noon. There was no school on Friday
oh gee --- power I can cope with, but no cable BITES! LOL (sometimes our power goes out but the cable stays intact so I have internet when I run the generator...)
wow...glad to see you here now!
I read two books pini... I was missing everyone here and on Facebook like crazy!
that is a sad story lil
PB, lil!
yes, no school FRiday I think -- looked at some news reports, not sure they could have got the kids TO school.
oh cr*p what did I say?
noon noon noon
I am glad you are okay though Monkey. I was a tad worried.
when i was at a conference the power blew but i had a usb modem and a strong battery!
*stuffs a sock in lil's mouth*
well gee, NOON then! *joins monkey in PB with large choclit CAKE*
*runs after stiddie with socks mate*
* watches from the sidelines *
i think we need to tape mittens on their hands!
DEFTly avoids jmc and runs off laughing hysterically
oh yea chocklit ca4 !!!! hahahaha stid you double-DQ'd
i hope that sock stuffed in my mouth is clean
okay, down to 27 and definitely listing.
you're both stinkers! lol
of course I would never use a dirty sock
good, i am allergic to toe cheese
*hides tape* *hides mittens* *h i d e s*
humph
*eating Moose tracks ice cream*

*looks interested in ca5/14*

CA 5/14 is past tense

doot doot doot doot out in the yard
YES! got an 8!
down to 16
wtg stiddie
go stid!
brb, stidkid can't find my yummy choclits with truffle filling...
why are you dooting in the yard, Jmc?
the grid wont ta4 the word doot and that is a song
remember it
?
can't say that i do
found it!
have any of you made gingerbread people?
yes
not recently LBD, why?
TEN!
i've never made them. was hoping for a good recipe
6!
go stiddie go
go kk go
go stid, go kkrista
Mother has a good one, but she isn't home at the moment. I can try to find it for you tomorrow if you like?
:)
hmm just ginger snap cookies in a nice design
Ks KNOCKED OUT!
oooh, i'd appreciate it. no rush.
hey krista!
okay, I'll get back to you by the end of the week for sure LBD.
brb
that's what i was thinking, jmc. but i don't want them hard as bricks
well a properly made ginger snap isn't hard but crisp
crisp, that's the way i remember them. but i've had hard before too.
actually, i want to make some to eat, and at least one that is hard for an ornament. kind of a family joke
crisp is good... mother's are not overly crispy though
hard ones are usually made with cream of tartar I think
if you cover one with elmers glue or shellace (after the hole for a ribbon is made) it should last
really stiddie?
Yes, cream of tartar makes cookies crisp. not sure how the chemistry works though.
the joke is, my oldest sister had a homemade gingerbread man, (mom's first hubs was a baker). Big sis had this cookie for over 20 years! her youngest daughter ate it. picked off all the frosting and chomped the cookie!
hello babblers - how is everybody?
is the TA 7/8 combo fishy?
well aren't you all alton brown!
rofl LBD! that's a classic kid thing!
hey ENomis!
very nearly done now.
no stid, they're weird. add a t to the ac6.7
it is so not fishy stiddie
Hi Enom!
lucky you stidmama, barely starting
hi eno
hey jmc
thanks. *thinking*
well, that was the last gingerbread man, big sis ever had. thought I'd try and make one and send it to her signed "Gingy"
thanks. firewords
whoooo hoooooo STIDDY!
whoo hoo stiddie
wow bravo!
that is a cute idea lbd
maybe i'll send one to my niece too
my computer is acting up. NOt sure what's up.
lol
I'll think about the recipe. Not sure Mother's is the best for ornaments...
send hers for the eating ones then!
I will then.
i think i'm going to bake all my presents this year, at least for those that i give to friends. truffles and cookies and mini ca4's
I have the co 8 hat is the other one?
that would be nice lbd
to8, enom
the other is the ta 7.8 combo I just needed Enomis
argh, ta7/8 not to8 dumb fingers
ta or to?
good idea LBD. I want to try to make the almond bread my father likes for presents this year. Couldn't bake last year at all so it will be nice to be domestic.
TA 7/8
tattoned
oops sorry!!!
nope
I make bourbon balls every year
LOL enomis! goodtry!
ooh, yes, should add the booze balls to the list too.
bourbon balls? like with chocolate and whiskey?
only with bourbon *sigh*
chocolate and bourbon!
mmmmm bourbon
my mother made some once when I was a child and didn't tell me I couldn't have any... LOL I had PLENTY for an 8 year old...
*pours bourbon for jmc*
*sips*
i put booze in my truffles too
the problem with bourbon balls is that the bourbon doesn't get cooked and therefore doesn't go away
who wants it to go away?
that's a problem??? *incredulous mama look*
well with 8 year olds that is good
Hi all. I'm back with 40 to go.

Huh? Wha ..?
I have a quick question, if you don't mind...!
I was going to say that ..
?
Fire away ..
I want to put up my push lawn mower for the winter. Ran it today until all the gas was gone, washed it top and bottom until all the grass was gone...do I need to do anything else? Oil the blades? anti freeze? take out the spark plug or air filter? drain the oil? any and all advice welcome
The gas is the main thing .. Starting with fresh gas next season .. Maybe change the oil next spring if you want to be truly fastidious ..
thanks tor! :)
gadszooks...you're supposed to do something to them before hiding them in the toolsh4???
well, it freezes so hard here, pini, and it's new this year - I want, and need, to keep it as nice as possible
wow...guess we don't that cold here * sigh of relief *
Hit the blade with a file next season to sharpen it up and knock off any rust ..
will do! have gotten very good at blade sharpening - did the pruners, garden shears, etc. Taught primo how to do it earlier today! yay me!
wtg trif ;)
have the gutter people coming tuesday to give me an estimate on a gutter cover setup - do you have any opinions on those?
hey babblers
wb boss
hello all
hi sadie
hiya Pinikula
hi sadie
hi pini
Haven't had to deal with gutters for a while .. Keeping the crap out of them is a good thing though ..
can i have a clue for a g
which one?
hiya daboss
(are you using Lickety's Babble Clue List for assistance - found at the bottom of the grid?)
i already have gent
thats all
i dont know how
okay i am heading out
we bought some white plastic grid covers at Home Depot for our gutters. we have major oak trees all around us...they have been working great for around three years.
oooh, night jmc!!! *HUGS*
be kind to newbies
*poof*
thanks for the tip, mpitt! I don't know what direction I am going in yet, but I know I don't want to climb a ladder two stories up every year....
boss, hover your mouse over Lickety's Babble Clues, right click and open it in another window; place the 2 windows side-by-side...game in one, clues in the other...
time for me to find my pillows, see you all tomorrow!
boss, you can copy/paste your "My Work List" (just to the right of your grid where you see the words you've already found) into the large box at the bottom of Lickety's list...
sleep well, lbd!
night lbd!!!
Niters lbd ..
boss, then you can give us the first 2 letters and fraction of the words you're missing...
k
(oh, after you paste, click "Bulk Add"...that will fill the words you've found into the list itself)
K is evil, boss
Hello Friends
trif, he was abbreviating OK ;)
hi DR ;)
DR!!! hello dear one
Hi Pini and TRIF !!
Jacob andHubby are trying to figure out 5th grade word problems
I gave up :P
Trif- How are you- have not seen you in ages
DR, check with daboss, he's an 8th grader! ;) He'll probably know exactly what Jake and DH are doing!
awesome story on tonight's news - a local actor/comedian here was mugged on friday, and he used his improv and comedy skills to thwart the burgular
ge 5 14
Hi daboss!
hi dr
ge5/14 = ge + opposite of yes + first vowel
Trif- that is cool!
thx pini
very clever, trif ;)
when the cops finally showed up, they tried to arrest the victim, as the burgular was so messed up they thought HE was the one who had called!
ge 6 24
ge6 = man (ge4) + dbl vowel
Pini- R U done?
yes, ma'am ;)
WTG Pini! I have 38 to go

ty Pini
gh + h** on your head
are you on a PC, Pitt?
yes
(if your sides don't move then you're not in resize mode)
in the upper right hand corner between the dash and the x, there should be a dbl box icon...hit that, then you'll be able to resize by moving edges
how do i get in resize mode
thx pini
ty pini ..wow pini you are a genius
okay, I am giving up the ghost for tonight. too tired, and grid is too ugly. would have liked to find the 8s, but here is always tomorrow

ge4 + dbl vowel
pinikula - many thanks! neverknew that was a word!
yvw babbz...glad you caught me!
(sometimes it's a wonder that these words really exist anywhere)
I think they exist in someone's brain only.
Some recluse who probably sits with one of those giant dictionaries and makes up words
no doubt!
Anywho, this game does wonders for the vocabulary, if I could remember them, LOL
we all think alike in that respect!
but, on that note, I've gotta git goin'...
see you have a good nite
congrats to the finishers, good luck to the almost there's, better luck next time to those who give it a good shot but don't make it!!! ciao! * poof *

Hi Stid!
silly dh and gh words!
hi stid, how are you
I am not playing any more, and doesn't look like cluez are needed.
I am well Andree -- how about you?
hi stid....i have 46 left clues for oo's
my computer is about to die of power loss... I am running the battery down on purpose tonight. Will recharge overnight.
OO4, plural word, expression of awe
MP...the crowd OO*** and awed at the fireworks
stid did you get the paper done?
my battery doesn't work at all now, am going to buy a new computer, thinking of getting a mac
ge 5/14 please?
yep. finished and turned in. there will be revisions, but I don't get it back until Friday, so waiting for the feedback before worrying about it.
ge 5/14 is an italian city
famous for romeo and juliet, I think...
TY Stid!
good on you stid yeah!
i am sure it will be fine stid, bet it doesn't need much revision
Macs are nice Andree -- 9out of my price range, but nice! LOL
thanks all
i am computer challanged and worried about being able to cope with it, otherwise it is so great with photos that i am tempted
feedback is wonderful...kinda like a cake thermometer...lets you know if it's half-baked or nearly done
business is bad at the moment but bad or good one of the perks is if i get a computer i can write it off
not too many upsides of owning a bussiness these days
business too
fireworks
I am sorry business is bad andree -- the recession, or just the time of the year?
YAY andree!
I think MACs have pretty good customer support though -- a lot of PCs don't
woohoo, Andree!!! (& fireworks for me, too!)
the building trade just has not picked up and my bread and butter depends on mostly builders
yay rbud
YAY rbud!
both my sons have mac's and my oldest granchildren so i should be able to call on lots of help
shall decide very soon, other option is to send this in for an overhaul and new battery
that stinks, Andree, that building is down
I bought my little netbook this summer and then sent the full-size laptop for its warranty work. it was a good decision.
hello andree stid rbud
I think people are having trouble financing so work can't get started, lenders are so wary now
now I have two computers, and actually wrote my paper on the larger one (bigger screen) and saved copies automatically to my netbook as well. Backups.
hello grannyrose!
wheeee broke 1000 points..
how are you all today?
44 left..working on ac5/14, ac5/12, ac7/36,
we have the same problem with financing over here Andree. Very sad to see so many "seasonal" employees out of work year-round.
go MPittore!
hi rose, on your feet yet or still lazing around in that wheelchair,lol
ac 5.14 is past tense
ac 5/12 is "plural"
teens suffer from ac** + pl + past tense
wheelchair??? *concerned mama look* what did you do, grannyrose?
* grin * andree up most of the day, just the boot and a walking stick.
go kalyn go!
stid, had atriple arthrodesis 18th august.
<brain cramp>
walking stick? is it pink? my everyday cane is pink, and the other for dress up has pink flowers on it...
I need a clue for the TA 7 please?
i want to shoot myself for not taking the extended warranty on this, its 2 years old and started giving trouble as soon as the 1 year was up
arthodesis -- is that like putting a plumbing snake in your veins or something?
TA 7 is silly. put the T on front of an A 6/24
when i fell off the crutches, himself couldn't bear it.( i thought it was hysterical), so into a chair until i could bear to weight-bear on it
TY!
oh, that is a problem, Andree! on the expensive equipment we always get the extended warranty. We didn't for the netbook -- but the warranty would have cost almost as much as another machine!
go car go!
that sounds pretty weird
hey ruru!
ok..who finds these words? geeeeeeez
gee whiz, grannyrose! *laughing hysterically*
hiya stid
how are you.
i've had 2 1 1/2 inch staples and a 4 inch screw put into my ankle
well, my battery just sent me a warning.
sounds like you have been to home depot granny
I am fine ruru, enjoying a quiet evening, Will go back to student mode tomorrow.
hi there ruru
hi mp
back in a bit, going to watch the kids in the pool, might have a dip myself and hi ruru
ruru, i now set off the alarms at the airport.* grin *
(((gentle hugs for grannyrose))) I am going to say good night. Hope you will all be well!
OK...I need 2 more...sh 5/20 and the second sh 6/33 please.....
*looks pointedly at grannyrose* take it easy!!!! *poof*

sh 5/20 he sh*** like a leaf
nite stid...ty and enjoy pleasant dreams
TY ruru!
sorry...I need the second sh 5/20
6/33 is a past tense of that? .. Bond likes his martiniis...sh***

change the last vowell car ee
Got it! fireworks for me! Thank you very much!
WTG CAR EE!!!!

so, are you going to wait around for the flip?
sure.. why not.. I am playing word rampage while I am waiting
good, i'm playing solitaire
I'm editing my library website... :)
like any game that creates order out of chaos * grin *
but I'd rather be playing freecell, lol - maybe I will!
well 33 left...i like to pklay sudoko too...my hubby taught me and now i'm better than he is...
strange, phone just rang, answered it, no-one there. third time today.
probably one of those telemarketers

very annoying, especially when you've just sat done to dinner....
