12:36 am

down to 75 and stalled -- think I'll check out the list

12:36 am

nothing LOL!

12:37 am

we're in Ogunquit in the summer it's 11 miles from the NH border

12:38 am

wikipedia says it's the county seat of Washington County . . .

12:39 am

i've never been to New England so, from a tourist standpoint, it would be a great opportunity!

12:39 am

still can't place it

12:39 am

have a feeling it's cold

12:39 am

I think a lot of MOntrealers go to Ogunquit in the summer

12:40 am

population is under 2500!

12:41 am

I just googled it it is out there

12:41 am

we have rented to people from quebec

1:27 am

Lotta Hitschmanova, CC (November 28, 1909 - September 1, 1990) was a Canadian humanitarian. In 1945, she helped to found USC Canada as the Unitarian Service Committee of Canada. USC Canada is an international development organization that started as a small group of aid workers sending supplies to war-torn Europe for relief and reconstruction. So I didn't get the name quite right -- there's more in Wikipedia Attired in an army nurse's uniform and military-style hat, she travelled yearly to strife-torn and poverty-stricken parts of the world searching out towns and villages in need of Canadian assistance to recover from drought, war, disease and poverty.

sI usually dont talk when I am looking for words. Mistakes you know

6:19 am

I just got here, hello everyone

6:19 am

I am doing my stollen baking today.

6:19 am

You don't use Babble Expert?

6:19 am

hi blue

6:19 am

Hi Blueheron! I saw a blue heron the other day--beautiful birds.

6:19 am

stollen! yummy

6:20 am

I switch to expert halfway through. Start regular, so I am not tempted

6:20 am

tempted to chat or tempted to use the list?

6:21 am

tempted to use list, following by looking up words, etc

6:21 am

It is interesting to learn how Babblers approach the word search.

6:21 am

Ours are gone now. We had our first snow yestterday.

6:22 am

It snowed most of yesterday but did not stick--ground is still too warm.

6:22 am

Where do you live, blueheron?

6:23 am

no snow here yet this year

6:24 am

It has snowed on 4 separate days here so far. Last year the ski resort across the valley had opened.

6:25 am

hello everyone

6:27 am

hi Anniie, I am under water

6:27 am

swat

Hi folks, just have a second before Walter is done with his lunch and we go up for a shower, but thought I'd say hello.

6:28 am

Inge, Under water and babbling? You are wonderful.

6:28 am

Hi MG, nice to see you. How is Walter's leg?

6:29 am

Hi Annie + MG! MG, I just commented on FB.

He's hav8ing cramps and twinges, but since night before last hasn't had any of the really nasty pain.

6:29 am

Annie, I met your grandson Jack last evening. How old is he?

OK, Scrabbs, I'll glance over there!

6:30 am

Hi Scrabbs! Jack is 11. Glad to see he was babbling.

Aww, thanks. Yes, people are shocked by the whole thing too, because they assume he fell or something but when they realize how bad it COULD have been they get really emotional and give him snacks and cards and now money.

6:32 am

I had my foyer and the hallway painted yesterday. The painter came at 9 am and left at 10 pm. He did a great job and later I will put everything back but I am worn out. You would think I was the one who did the painting.

What color did you go with?

6:33 am

White and taupe.

6:33 am

MG, yes, it could have been SO much worse for Walter.

I know. This is a nasty, nasty break but it's a leg. He was hit by a car. I know how lucky he is to be alive, and then there's all the gradients of worse between broken leg and killed... I shudder to think about it.

6:35 am

Me too, when I think about car vs little body.

6:36 am

MG, My goodness. Lucky little boy. Thank God it was not worse. I hope he heals quickly.

It was a seriously HUGE car too. Hang on, I'll try to find a link to one.

6:36 am

Good morning

6:36 am

good morning, merk

Thanks, Annie. This will be a hard road for him but he seems over the worst of the trauma and maybe the worst of the post-op pain. It's going in the good direction, anyway, to loosely translate a Dutch saying.

It was a lot like this one http://www.theautochannel.com/news/200 7/10/25/068666.1-lg.jpg

6:41 am

MG, I dont know how to bring up that image. To me a little boy and a car meeting is a frightening thought.

6:41 am

I am surprised his lower leg took the brunt and not a higher part of his body.

Yes. I still get the shakes about it after more than a week. I didn't see it happen, but a couple of the kids who did are still having nightmares. It happened right infront of his school as all the kids were going in.

6:42 am

Scrabbs, Was Jack looking for me?

Me too, Scrabbs, but one of the witnesses says he actually got his leg between the back wheel and the edge of the wheel well.

6:43 am

MG, Is Walter home?

Yes, since Monday. I stayed in the hospital with him for the 5 days.

6:45 am

No, Annie, Jack was looking for clues, but yesterday's grid was very tough, I told him.

OK, he's tired and staging a tantrum about his lunch. I need to go get him through this and then into the shower. Have fun, folks!

6:45 am

Bye MG

6:46 am

MG, Give Walter a hug from me. Bye.

6:47 am

Scrabbs, I am glad that Jack likes to babble. He was at his aunts house for Thanksgiving with the entire Bayer clan. I was going to go but the painter said he could come and do the paint job in one day so I stayed home. I hope Jack was polite.

6:50 am

He was polite. It was cute, because he asked us if we knew his grandmother Annie.

6:50 am

Hello everyone!

6:50 am

Hey scrabbs. my computer went down. Sorry to interrupt our conversation. I live in New Hampshire

6:51 am

Scrabbs, He is a polite little boy. I will find out later how many words he was able to find.

6:51 am

Hello Brookie

6:51 am

Hi Annie!

6:51 am

Scrabbs, How are the children that are in my prayers?

6:53 am

Hi Brooke. Oh, no, Blueheron--computer problems are so aggravating!

6:53 am

Hi Scrabbs!

6:54 am

It's the satellite, too much cloud cover.

6:54 am

Annie, with my new job I no longer care for Ben, Sabrina + Timmy. But please pray for Andrew, Owen + Lexi.

6:55 am

so how do you take care of your house bunnies?

6:55 am

Scrabbs, What a misery that children get so ill. I will add the children.

6:55 am

Just pray for all kids with cancer. The world of pediatric oncology is full of such suffering for the children and their families.

6:56 am

I will, Scrabbs.

6:56 am

I am crying.

6:58 am

I follow updates on several kids on Caring Bridge, and it is full of hope and despair for these families.

6:58 am

that's so sad scrabbs.

7:00 am

It is sad, and incomprehensible.

7:01 am

Well, Babble buddies, I must get ready for work now. I shall return this afternoon. I must go see kiddoes in the office for a few hrs. I hope their are no realy sick ones.

7:01 am

Bye Scrabbs, Have an easy day.

7:01 am

bye scrabbs

7:08 am

7:24 am

hello everyone

7:24 am

Hi jacq!

7:24 am

how is the grid today?

7:24 am

heya brookie

7:24 am

Not bad. Easier than yesterday.

7:25 am

yesterdays was challenging

7:26 am

Yes, there were lots of words I didn't know existed!

7:28 am

there have been a few like that this week though

7:29 am

True. But normally I stop halfway through the puzzle, so I tend to limit myself to words I automatically see. Yesterday, I had an opportunity to complete the puzzle.

7:30 am

always a good feeling when you finish

7:30 am

It had been forever since I had seen "fireworks"!

7:30 am

Hi everyone 8)

7:31 am

Hi gramma!

7:31 am

heya gramma

7:33 am

This is the sort of grid where you can just put in any S word and it's there. I like it! You don't even have to look.

7:35 am

lol i'm seeing that

7:36 am

then make it plural

7:37 am

wishy is too a word. Don't be so wishy washy, make a decision.

7:37 am

Tried that too, gramma!

7:37 am

lol

7:39 am

I'm back.

7:39 am

hi grandma anne

7:39 am

How was breakfast, Annie?

7:40 am

Hi jack, what did the Giants do yesterday?

7:40 am

Breakfast was good. Fruit and cereal. Thanks, brookie

7:40 am

they lost bad

7:40 am

Bummer.

7:41 am

yeah i know

7:42 am

oooh, just found ot 5. Cute little water critters but change the second vowel and plural it.

7:43 am

* critter

7:43 am

I don't like amatos late in the year.

7:50 am

Unless they're served by a young hotty

7:50 am

jacko? are you still here?

7:50 am

Very cute, gramma!

7:52 am

yes

7:52 am

jack, how do you find this grid?

7:53 am

what do you mean

7:53 am

jack, do you find the grid hard or easy to find words?

7:53 am

easy

7:54 am

good for you, you smart kid!

7:54 am

thanks

7:57 am

good morning

7:57 am

Hi Dorens!

7:57 am

heya dorens

7:57 am

Good morning, Dorens!

7:58 am

looks like a friendlier grid? they've been kind of tough latley. hi annie, jac, brookie and jacko.. good to see you've come back again

7:58 am

it's not too shabby this grid, down to 63 already

7:59 am

dorens, jacko is my grandson.

7:59 am

hello jacko, nice to meet you

8:00 am

yes I know annie, when he came on the other day and saw sscrabbler he introduced himself (perhaps you told him about her?) very cute.

8:00 am

you to jacq

8:00 am

Jacko how old are you? (i'm sure everyone always asks that)

8:01 am

i am 11 years old

8:01 am

Jacko, you're an inspiration!

8:01 am

a great age to start playing... and today's grid will be good for you, but some of the words in here will definitely seem to you like they were made up (they do to us)

8:01 am

thanks brookie

8:01 am

and you're a very polite young man, a credit to your family jacko

8:02 am

do you live near brooklyn?

8:02 am

thanks jacq

8:02 am

thanks jacq

8:05 am

ok, didn't mean to ask an inappropriate question.... just wondering annie, do you get to see him often?

8:07 am

dorens, jack has been warned about the internet so he plays it safe and answer no personal questions. They do not live in New York and I get to see them about every other month.

8:07 am

*answers

8:07 am

oh my grammar!!! any personal questions, I mean.

hello

8:07 am

Hi TO!

8:08 am

Hi Owl!

8:08 am

yes, I totally understand. In fact last time I thought of asking, but decided he probably might not answer (age and location), but was just wondering in terms of his seeing grandma. nice way for you to visit with him then, on internet. hi owl, all well?

8:08 am

dorens, I need a proofreader.

8:09 am

Levi is adorable.

8:09 am

Levi is adorable.

8:09 am

i often have typos in chat annie, and as long as we know what we mean, i think we are okay. We know that we are all literate highly verbal people, and if we didn't know words and their spelling we wouldn't be on this site.

8:09 am

thanks. i could just eat him up

8:10 am

jack, Does Dylan ever babble?

oh my. news story of 15 lb baby who was 3 weeks premature

gestational diabetes?

8:12 am

Hi Jean

8:12 am

hi, TO - we are speechless - might mean the mother had some complications

*poof*

hi there annie

8:12 am

my thought exactly Jean

8:13 am

hi jean and jbv

8:13 am

hi Doren and Annie

hya dorens

8:13 am

and hi to JBV

8:13 am

yes, same thought here.... as well as glad it wasn't my children or grandchildren

there was another huge baby like that a couple of months ago

showed a pic of him in the hospital nursery looking at a much tinier baby to his left and thinking "mmmm burrito"

8:14 am

it's a sign of something not right

most likely diabietic mom

8:15 am

morning babble time is over - must leave now - good luck to all, maybe see you later

8:16 am

later jbv

8:17 am

I have to put everything back. I had the hallway and foyer painted yesterday. I love the results.

9:47 am

Good morning. This grid is full of laughs, isn't it?

9:47 am

9:47 am

min, your icon today is a hunka hunka burning love!

9:47 am

it's a scam. whatever it is. LOL

9:48 am

byeee for now

9:48 am

bye joanne

9:48 am

oh, gosh, jmc, that's okay - it's about 15 pages worth of bird cage liner....too much too scan, too stupid to consider, really

9:48 am

if your scan senses are tingling trif,then toss it

9:48 am

Goodbye Joanne123!I'll see you tomorrow in the chat

9:48 am

well you can email the first and last page and summerize the rest

9:48 am

scam even

9:49 am

ohhh i'll be back only have 166 yet

9:49 am

gotta go get ready for my sunday school class and then off to the babble meet up!

9:49 am

I was wicked upset when I first read it, as it is beyond insulting, but then I realized that it is not a final thing, it's just the first grenade, so I calmed down. I don't have to accept it, and I am not going to, but will counter with what I want, and we go from there. That's how I assume it works, anyway....

9:49 am

Hello Gail! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

9:50 am

ohhh *that* kind of offer :(

9:50 am

Oh, where is that Babble meeting this time jmcnrick?

9:50 am

if the offer is insulting make an insulting counter offer

9:50 am

LOL! okay, will put that on list....

9:50 am

know what i do with all that junk mail and crap offers? i save all the pre-paid postage envelopes they give you and i mail them each other junk.not only does it ease my recycle bin,it keeps our postal workers employed in these days of e-mail;))

9:50 am

by the time I got to "20% of christmas bonus each year" I was actually laughing, so that is probably a good sign

9:51 am

DO NOT counter with what you want -- counter with what you want with whipped cream and a cherry on top

9:51 am

crossy, I have done that too!

9:51 am

okay, jmc I will!

9:51 am

I am doing very well, and I love your Ed Harris birthday post. I do love him.

9:51 am

*is listening carefully cos this will apply to me soon too*

9:51 am

write me an email with more details and i will get back to you

9:51 am

you too ata

9:52 am

really gotta go

9:52 am

crossy, you can also put fish weights, bricks, whatever in their postage paid envelopes, and they have to pay the postage on whatever you send back

9:52 am

*poof*

9:52 am

I like Ed Harris too. I think he's underappreciated as an actor.I'm not sure if he has ever won any Awards.

9:52 am

lol trif

9:52 am

Goodbye jmcnrick! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

9:52 am

good morning

9:52 am

Ed Harris is wonderful

9:53 am

I might, jmc, or I might just meditate and pray more on this one, and see where god leads me, and how god wants me to respond. it has to end sometime, and I want to make sure I am making good decisions, based on what the children and I need, and not just responding out of anger, fear, or spite

9:53 am

Ata, I am sorry to read that.....

9:53 am

Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:53 am

ewww.that kind of junk mail....

9:54 am

indeed, crossy, indeed. oh hey - by the way - I watched the nursery age kids last week during sunday service, and one of the little ones made me a cup of tea in the play kitchen - with a slice of play kitchen bacon in it!!! I thought of you immediately, and smiled

9:55 am

do what jmc said then,counter with 50% more than you think you need and a cherry on top

9:55 am

Ed Harris won a Golden Globe for The Truman Show & SAG Award for Appollo13.Had many other nominations

9:55 am

9:56 am

Min, I think ed harris doesn't seek out public attention- he just wants to do his job, and he doesnt do the party scene or that kind of thing. melts my butter though, I tell you!!! (with great respect to his wife Amy, just in case she is lurking!)

9:56 am

crossy watches trifs butter melting with interest...

10:12 am

I always wondered about that harp

10:12 am

their ineffable effable effanineffable deep and inscrutible singular name

10:12 am

it's sort of like where you go to pick up a rx, pinny

10:12 am

serius black is also known as "snots" cause he sneezes like a 300 pund man and ..err stuff tends to fly

10:12 am

10:18 am

pardom me?...

10:18 am

Bye trif

10:18 am

and thinking about a second cuppa...

10:18 am

i fixed a light switch just yesterday..after a year and a half....

10:18 am

oh, I know. And I really don't mind as long as he cooks for me! ;-) I do complain though if his mess is worse than when he started

10:19 am

Cooking is the one thing I like to do.

10:19 am

and my wife can burn water,dont let her near the food

10:20 am

Nobody messes with my stove. Grrrr

10:21 am

I've asked husband to change the light bulb in my bedside light 3 times now. Each time he fixed a different light, just not my one

10:21 am

LOL, crossy. I can fix meals and get them on the talbe in less than 45 minutes; they are usually quite tastt; but I can never make the same thing twice. My kids used to joke th** dinner was ready when the smoke detector sounded though

10:21 am

when she tries to cook,she thinks everything must be on high,petal to the metal,turn the vlume to 11 and pull the knobs off sort of thing lol,usually ends in disaster

10:21 am

That's very funny Ata. Not for you of course.

10:22 am

I know LOL. The first time I was amused, the second time I was amused, it's slightly less amusing now!

10:22 am

She's not so dumb, Crossy

10:22 am

simmering something to her just means putting the surface flames out lol

10:22 am

I do the same, Crossy. It's why I only ever make pasta

10:22 am

Ata; is it somewhere you can't reach?

10:23 am

oh i know hego..she is playing ole crossy

10:23 am

heee heee!

10:24 am

but marriage is a long voyage of stalemates and concessions..nobody wins the war and if it goes on long enough both sides just surrender lol

10:24 am

noooo but last time I changed it's bulb, the glass sheet in it fell out and sliced my hand open. I refuse to change it any more!

10:24 am

Sounds good

10:25 am

ata,you should use an energy saver bulb in that one,they last for 5 years

10:25 am

I didn't mean you ata, I meant what Crossy said!

10:25 am

sounds dangerous, Ata. I'd buy a new lamp if he won't change it!

10:25 am

it's a halogen light, crosst

10:25 am

he can change it fine! it just hates me lol

10:26 am

im currently using an energy saver bulb in my kitchen light,one of those annoying glass globe ones you think will fall at anysecond..this bulb will enter its 6th year this jan

10:26 am

halogens are high power, Ata. get a different lamp

10:26 am

I need halogens in my study for around my drawing boards ...

10:27 am

lol i just got rid of some old outside lamp posts ata,they had the old mercury vapour bulbs.things are big as a turkey and when you turned them on lol..its the only time ive ever HEARD light come on lol

10:51 am

i don't know if really diappears or just evolves.

10:51 am

I had a crazy morning in the office--sent a 5 yr old to the local ER for IV fluids and tests---kidney infection. I will check on her in a minute to see if she can go home or to the Children's Hospital. Then I called an ambulance for a premie with resp distress.

I have the flower.

1:40 pm

Yikes, I guess your small hospital doesn't have a NICU

1:40 pm

pluralled

1:40 pm

pl the flower

1:40 pm

My God Scrabbler - all I did what get my hair cut - I feel so inadequate! :)

1:40 pm

ho 6/27 is the 4,5 + adverbial ending

1:40 pm

No, the premie is 8 mo old, but a former premie with chronic lung disease.

1:41 pm

Double yikes, that sounds bad.

1:41 pm

scrabs i don't know how you people do it

1:41 pm

specially the mental part of it

1:41 pm

I just do what I need to do and stay calm.

1:42 pm

Someone needs to stay calm. The parents probably aren't

1:42 pm

i would be a wreck...could never do that kinda job

1:42 pm

The really bad stuff--cancer, death--that gets to me. I have a whole list of kids in my head, kids that have died.

1:42 pm

last et?

1:43 pm

nm got it

1:43 pm

I get very nervous when I take care of my CA graddaughter who has nut allergies. Do you realize how many things you wouldn't even think of that have some nuts in them

1:43 pm

Check labels, bichon.

1:43 pm

Sounds like a girls name - uses the sometimes vowel in 4th place

1:43 pm

fred and et... lucy and ricardos friends

1:43 pm

Think of et*** Mertz, but different second vowel

1:44 pm

She has two epi pens, but I'm always afraid I'll forget where they are

1:44 pm

i remember when kids were small and we had light livingroom furniture and they were bouncing off the back of it

1:45 pm

i kept telling them to stop,someone's gonna get hurt

1:45 pm

Gotta go, Biscuit is holding his legs together. Bye

1:45 pm

Keep the EpiPen + Benadryl in a red "fanny pack"

1:45 pm

1:46 pm

daughter not saying anything just holding her head

1:46 pm

1:46 pm

1:46 pm

bye bichon

11 left but I'm still having trouble with the next-to-last ho6.

1:46 pm

scrabs can I ask a quick question?

1:47 pm

i put her on the bathroom sink and told her not to move while i got the ice

1:47 pm

balling my eyes out

1:47 pm

Yep, Ata...my mother is interrogating me now.

1:47 pm

she says"mommy,why are you crying,i'm the one that hurt myself!!

Lot's of stuff going on here!

1:48 pm

if a dr doesn't treat a patient due to his worry about the outcome of whatever he tries, is that officially malpractice or something?

1:48 pm

again scrabs lol

1:48 pm

she is very needy yes?

1:48 pm

kaplan: when you receve guests you are a ho** + don't go post** over such a small matter...

1:50 pm

It depends on the situation, Ata...

1:50 pm

ho45 and stick to top right and sometimes vowel

1:51 pm

sister, as you can imagine :P her surgeon is ignoring her emails and now ignoring her GP's emails and calls. We know perfectly well why he's doing it, he doesn't want to kill her on the op table, but it's beyond a joke now

1:51 pm

did you get it yet kap

1:51 pm

and I'm trying to write him a letter to explain this. Just from a different name so he won't hide when he sees a letter from sister!

I'm monkey typing like crazy but this one eludes me

1:52 pm

kaplan -- ho 6 /21 is the plural of the plant before it

D-uh

1:52 pm

That is negligence, Ata..not providing proper care. The doc can withdraw from case but after letter to patient and 30 days....rule here

1:52 pm

and I'm trying to keep it very dry and factual, rather than get emotional

1:52 pm

the ho4 with the most stick letter and sometimes vowel

How could I not see that?

1:53 pm

is there anywhere where negligence rules are accessible? or it is always case-by-case?

1:53 pm

you're bablind kap! It happens when we monkey too much!

1:53 pm

joanne, you and the others have been clueing ho6/27

1:53 pm

ata is there a medical review board in your city/country who you could call?

1:53 pm

omg lol but i did clue the other too

1:54 pm

Ata, there are laws in each area

1:54 pm

Whats the stick letter?

1:54 pm

the "go post**" clue doesn't work

1:54 pm

l

the first th5- but I feel if I have to ask for help with all the ones I have left, then it's not really kosher

1:55 pm

probably, wildcat, but I'm trying to get a vague understanding of the situation first, so I can ask intelligent questions later!

1:55 pm

Thanks! I never knew that!

1:55 pm

it's the same as using the list kap ... don't worry

And the go post** clue was off

1:55 pm

th is like a beer mug

1:55 pm

soodle, the "stick letter" is and L. We prefer not to clue with sticks, snakes, chairs, humps, etc, lol!

You mean I won't be cited on an ethics charge?

I have 10 left. See ya latter

1:55 pm

Hi Jill

1:55 pm

¨¨¨blushing¨¨¨¨¨¨Jillibus - sorry!

1:56 pm

yvw sood

1:56 pm

i know jill but again i say i suck at cluing

1:56 pm

i tried everything else

1:56 pm

we all live and learn, joanne :)

1:57 pm

I know you did, but it was the wrong word, lol!

1:57 pm

it's a valid question - you're not expected to know all the laws about this situation. does the dr really not want to treat her or does he just not know what to do?

1:57 pm

serious i don't even know what half these words mean..and i am giving myself credit there lol

1:57 pm

Well, now I know!!

1:58 pm

Anyway, HI ALL!!!

1:58 pm

hi jill

1:58 pm

Hiya Jilli

1:59 pm

thank god us women have good memories for weird words

1:59 pm

the problem is that whatever he does is probably going to be life-threatening at best. That includes not doing anything, as well. He doesn't want to put her through any more than she's been through. It's an impossible situation, but he's nothelping

1:59 pm

nobody knows what half those words mean, lol! But there's that ? beside the word which will tell you (most of the time)

1:59 pm

last lo 5,18?

2:00 pm

so sorry ata ... it sounds like it's a tough situation any way you look at it

2:00 pm

you mean lo 6/18 ? It's the plural of the previous word

2:00 pm

oh it is, it's impossible

2:01 pm

no it's the previous word that I need :)

2:01 pm

hi all

2:01 pm

the previous word is lo5/10, and you'd be happy to win the lo***ry

2:02 pm

2:02 pm

2:11 pm

2:11 pm

lo5/10 -- you'd be happy and rich if you won the lo***ry

2:12 pm

hi peri!

2:12 pm

after the flip. Ruru, cybernan and someone else were zipping along so fast it was humiliating

2:12 pm

got it from your earlier clue, jilli, thanks

2:13 pm

oh yes -- nan and someone else (not ruru I think) were almost in a tie. Those speedsters just have to be overlooked for sanity's sake.

2:14 pm

yw peri -- didn't know it was still alive ;)

2:14 pm

I find I don't find words as well at the end of a long day and like to save some for the following evening.

2:18 pm

phew finally done with the s words!

2:18 pm

oops sorry

2:19 pm

I like that kind of clue Enomis

2:19 pm

Yeah, me too

2:19 pm

nm, eno, googies in the PB

2:20 pm

You can do more spoilers if you want :P

2:20 pm

*that's goodies

2:20 pm

I have many more Bugsaw... but do not want to bore you all to death with the real words!

2:21 pm

I know you guys are purist in your babble approach... LOL

2:21 pm

((switching from boxes very carefully to avoid typing real words...)))

2:22 pm

Eno, do you have a Mac or a PC?

2:22 pm

Ahem - No Purists here, Eco! Feel free to clue to your hearts content!!

2:22 pm

I do it all the time too. In fact I spend quite a bit of tme in the PB if I try to chat and search for words at the same time. Some people seem to be able do it and make quilts at the same time!

2:22 pm

Mac why?

2:23 pm

because if you had a PC you could get Babble Expert, but nm -- no good with a Mac :(

2:24 pm

20 left, bbs

2:24 pm

I know!!!! I used to have a pc and I miss Babble Expert so much...

2:24 pm

bugs -- do YOU have a Mac?

2:24 pm

so uch easier

2:24 pm

much

2:24 pm

No, a PC

2:25 pm

I hate to tell you, but I won't get a Mac for that very reason -- talk about Babbladdiction!

2:25 pm

1st th5?

2:25 pm

somehow it lets me fail tho

2:26 pm

Well, bugs, you can get Expert for free if you email Lickety and ask him to send you the link

2:26 pm

grumble grumble I want my Babble expert back... but would never go back to a pc :)

2:27 pm

I am using it. I like the word list on the same page as the clues but it has so many parts I am sure I don't use them all

th 5/12 rhymes with beer mug-st***

2:27 pm

Don't you use Lickety Add?

2:27 pm

Nope. Never clicked on it

2:28 pm

What does it do?

2:28 pm

ty luv

2:29 pm

OOH!!!! You MUST! That's the main feature! If you type one word into Lickety Add it goes to the word list and to Lickety's list automatically. If you type more than one word it goes to the chat.

2:30 pm

so I don't have to move the cursor all the time? That sounds too good to be true

2:30 pm

Just try it!

2:30 pm

I will try it out right now so if a word shows up in the chog, it was an honest mistake in the name of science.....

2:31 pm

1st th 5,12? I am fading fast I think 17 left

2:31 pm

Can I use that excuse too Bug?

2:32 pm

sounds good to me Eno!

2:32 pm

It worked and sent my message to the right place

2:32 pm

I have 32 left but have to go and get lunch -- bridge date this aft.

2:32 pm

yeah bug!

2:32 pm

bye jilli

2:32 pm

Now yer talkin', bugsy!

2:33 pm

anybody can clue the 1st th 5,12?

2:33 pm

thanks jilli. I hope you have fun today.

Enomis, the beer mug clue was the first th 5/12, there's a th 5/14 before that but i don't have it

2:34 pm

bugs, just one thing about Lickety Add -- it you want to send a one-word message to the chog, you have to hit Ctrl + Enter. There are instructions around the box, as you can see.

2:34 pm

the th 5, 14 rhymes with not cold but w***

2:34 pm

does not get the beer mug clue...

2:35 pm

eno, try th + German for one

2:36 pm

I like how the whole box goes green if I am right and sends it to the list all at once, and how it goes red if I am wrong and blue when I send a message

2:36 pm

And now I must go! Bye all! Happy Babbling!

2:36 pm

Of course! I thought the st word was straw...

2:36 pm

and bugs, it goes yellow if you've already entered the word

2:37 pm

stop brgging Bugs - some MAC people are jealous ;)

2:37 pm

Sorry, not trying to brag. Just ashamed I did not know it did this!

2:37 pm

being quiet now....

2:38 pm

Brag all you want, it is such a neat app

2:38 pm

Resources is worth clicking on too -- you can get to Morewords that way ;)

2:39 pm

The Icon Themes part is out of date -- Lickety built this a couple of years ago.

2:39 pm

Morewords is the same as Licketys list isn't it?

2:39 pm

done with the Ts... 13 left

2:40 pm

yes, I had tried the themes box before

2:40 pm

Not at all, bugs -- it lists words by length and alphabet

2:40 pm

i must play with that part too then. thanks jilli. you have been a wealth of knowledge today!

2:41 pm

Done with the Os..

2:41 pm

I thought Lickety had included an explanation with his link.

2:41 pm

ugh I need one H .. either a 4 or 6

2:41 pm

2:42 pm

sorry lynxxx... didn't realize it was quite so gory!

7:10 pm

oh my

7:10 pm

*worried look*

7:11 pm

I had to go to the docs to get remainder out..... They cut my arm open (little cut), got it out, and left me to heal for a week. Tuesday, I have to go have it done again, in the other arm !

7:11 pm

poor aussie

7:11 pm

I am fine though, it healed quite well :)

7:11 pm

wouldn't it jsut be easier to get the tubes tied, like i did?

7:11 pm

good for you aussieme, you are a strong, brave woman *proud friend look*

I have 6 left! lo6 still has me messed up

7:12 pm

Well, they said it might stop me bleeding altogether, which would be good, considering I have had nightmare periods !

7:12 pm

go kaplan go!

"sorry for talking shop while more important things are being discussed

7:13 pm

hmmm doctor has been trying to get me to swap, not the first 'incident' I have heard of, I will be telling him to get stuffed on that one!!

7:13 pm

Kaplan... lo6..... lo + double consonant + 2nd vowel + snake letter

7:13 pm

are u a newbie, Kaplan? I have not met u

7:13 pm

hello katie!

7:13 pm

C'mon Kaplan..... git'r dun !

7:13 pm

7:13 pm

Kap - do you have lo4.4 (1st one) put a silent letter on tHe end

7:14 pm

Katie, not fun to have done, but good when it works !

I thought I had the one that was like a bunch of Miss Lenya running around.

I am missing the lo6 that is the 8th word on the lo list

Kaplan - did yoiu see my clue @7.13 - just plural it

7:16 pm

ra6/24 please

7:16 pm

I have the continuous pill which is the same as the implant and I am happy with it but every 6 months we go round the houses on alternatives and then agree if I am happy we can keep it as it is *sign*

7:16 pm

nevermind

7:16 pm

ra6.24 makes a lot of noise when you shake it

7:17 pm

I have to remind him every 6 months that I haven't had any children so what he is pushing me to is not appropriate!!!

7:17 pm

Ok darlings, it's 01:16am..... I am off to find my pillows...... Sweet Dreams Babble Family.... Luffs you all !

7:17 pm

We were done having babies, wanted permanent solution. Glad we did! pregnancy was not easy, and birth and afterward were horrible for me... can't take hormones because of side effects. So only way to avoid pregnancy was...

8:46 pm

hi mcu

doing great min.....trying to catch up on sleep

8:46 pm

today coming home from critter sitting duty the rain was the mist that covers the car but the wipers don't really have anything to wipe so they just smear road grit around.

know that well,

8:47 pm

ewww, I hate that kind, too, stid!

8:47 pm

yep. *sigh* my life has come down to knowing the types of rain....

8:48 pm

thankfully, it didn't rain on my drive today :)

8:49 pm

that's good, pini. a long drive to do in the wet. have done it many times!

8:49 pm

Do PNW people have names for all the different kinds of rain like Esquimeaux have 11 different names for snow?

8:49 pm

yeah, did it last weekend; wasn't pretty

stid...just think of it as a badge of honor...think of all the poor people in the country that don't have a clue what that means

9:09 pm

Why are you doing homework before Sunday night?

9:09 pm

okay... I have rewritten the paper, have about 18 more essay questions to work on (some of which need explication before I can fully answer).

9:10 pm

who is doing homework?

9:10 pm

Ditto on wht's question, stid!

9:10 pm

Should I continue to work on the paper tonight/tomorrow or the essay question.

9:10 pm

what do you need help with, stid?

9:10 pm

Because it's a master's level program, and I feel very behind.

9:10 pm

Do the hardest thing first ..

9:10 pm

the essay question so to take a break from the paper

9:10 pm

the paper needs better support in areas that are specific and limited.

9:10 pm

Essay questions, stid, paper's done, yes?

9:11 pm

the essay questions are individually shorter...

9:11 pm

I'd do the essay question too (if you haven't started it)

9:11 pm

6 left

9:11 pm

...still wondering, tho, tor, is wahey a word?

9:12 pm

9:12 pm

Go, Nef, go!!

9:12 pm

go nef go

9:12 pm

9:12 pm

Break it off with the paper, stid, start a new relationship with the essay (questions)!

9:12 pm

Whacha need, nef, any clues?

9:13 pm

33 seconds for TN to score, or it goes into overtime!

9:13 pm

I'll wait until tomorrow then, since the essay stuff requires me to get about 8 books open simultaneously.

9:13 pm

any Hi word?

9:14 pm

9:34 pm

Hi Nef! i'm fine, how are you?

9:34 pm

Hello! anyone remember me? Haven't been around in awhile; school has kept me busy.

9:35 pm

hi phand on break?

9:35 pm

hey phand!

9:35 pm

well, yes, just for tonight though. Lab final on Monday. But brain on overload

9:36 pm

I'm a slow and error-making typer. Thumbs still splinted

9:36 pm

why are your thumbs splinted?

9:36 pm

ick. finals. papers. come sit next to me and we'll drown our college kid sorrows in choclits and cheap beer.

9:36 pm

*ditto LBD's question*

9:36 pm

housework? what's housework?? *looking in PB for a cabana boy*

9:36 pm

sounds great to me Stidmama

9:36 pm

I am not sure how my brain can take in anymore new info

9:37 pm

hey Judy! how was your turkey day? nephew run you ragged?

9:37 pm

ruru, none ARE is a common error. And so is "there ARE a number of errors." You wouldn't say "There are a number."

9:37 pm

so much to learn in Anatomy and Physiology

9:37 pm

Hi judy

9:37 pm

you need to give your brain a rest, Phan and Stid. let it absorb all the information.

9:37 pm

CJ!!

9:37 pm

Stid, aren't cabana boys supposed to like the ladies?

9:37 pm

Well, Stid, I didn't poison anybody so it was a good day!! LOL

9:37 pm

LBD!!

9:37 pm

Hi Jilli

9:37 pm

but.. the cabana boyS was plural?

9:37 pm

hi cio!

9:38 pm

Hiya JMC! How was your lunch today?

9:38 pm

doesn't matter to me, jill -- as long as they are sweet and obedient and cute! LOL

9:38 pm

lbd, the arthritis has been bad with my over-doing things; the doc is trying th** before steroids (allergic to advil and aspirin type meds)

9:38 pm

good for you judy!

9:38 pm

the boys in the cabana ARE.. more than one boy. only one cabana

9:38 pm

did pini run away earlier?

9:38 pm

it was very nice cio though only DC, Tom and Lil and me

9:38 pm

(now has to order cute ones for stid)

9:39 pm

no, ruru, it's "none" which is modified in that sentence.

9:39 pm

went to the Lighting of the Vineyard at a local winery tonight

9:39 pm

OWIE, Nef. the cortizone does help tho

9:39 pm

Well, JMC, I hope to make the next one. Looking forward to it.

9:39 pm

hmm you are probably right there professor

9:39 pm

we were talkng about some time in early May

9:39 pm

golly nef, sounds pretty extreme. I developed problems with ibuprofen this year, so my hip pain has been unmedicated for several months (the things that don't cause problems don't work) -- at least the hip itself is improving or I would be a basket case. long story short, you have my empathy

9:39 pm

...darn...

9:40 pm

and cortisone injection did help the hip this summer.

9:40 pm

wonderful, JMC

9:40 pm

Yes. lbd, if that was the sentence, but it wasn't. None = not one. So it's "Not one of the boys IS . . ."

9:40 pm

i'ts okay ru. i have to diagram those type of sentences to make sure i'm doing them right. it's a common mistake

9:40 pm

arthritis sucks!

9:41 pm

that's not a lot of people jmc, but glad it happened. I forgot it was today. not that I could have made it, though Tom actually considered it (briefly)

9:41 pm

so could I have a clue for the WE 5/20 pls

9:41 pm

ditto CI

9:41 pm

well there is always May

9:42 pm

No we words, phan

9:42 pm

CJ...sigh monkeys are mischievious tonight

9:42 pm

wi 5/20 is the magic wi** + vowel

9:42 pm

Opps meant WI

9:42 pm

there is no WE word

9:42 pm

serious lag on my computer suddenly. I think that's my cue to take a break.

9:42 pm

magic wi**

9:42 pm

when you wi** upon a st$

9:43 pm

frustrating, isn't it, stid!

9:43 pm

thnks got it

9:43 pm

urgh, did i say my monkeys were misbehaving?

9:43 pm

new computer here. LOVIN' IT!!! Finally works at a decent speed!!

9:43 pm

ty lbd

9:43 pm

I have several reasons to not want the cortisone (diabetes being the main one); but I'm afraid I'll have to try it since the splints aren't helping (and with working and sweaty hands, th** stink after a while)

9:43 pm

yippee for new computer!!

9:43 pm

WH 5 last one?

9:43 pm

back tomorrow sometime, will spend a few minutes knitting while I watch TV with my fellas

9:44 pm

I agree lbd. LOL

9:44 pm

My computer worked at a decent speed when it was new, but I've loaded it up with so much stuff, the poor thing, it's obese.

9:44 pm

wh*** house is on fire?

9:44 pm

11:52 pm

Where in China, rennie?

11:52 pm

we had leftover turkey on lefse for dinner

11:52 pm

mushy peas???

11:52 pm

but the mash has to be just right, not runny, and definitely not claggy

11:52 pm

oooohhh, jilli, will be right over

11:52 pm

claggy?

11:53 pm

very special, pini, very brit -- but available here

11:53 pm

pini, sort of dry and sticks to the roof of your mouth

11:53 pm

mushy peas sounds like pea soup?

11:53 pm

11:54 pm

not quite, pini, very soft steamed/boiled peas

11:54 pm

11:55 pm

Don't know anything about Singapore -- not part of China ever. But there was Bubbling Well Road in Shanghai.

I'm guessing it's an acquired taste?
