We have a shopping channel on our cable which occasionally 'flogs' this type of jewellery. I knew there was a use for it!

3:05 am

Have 30 left and found first one ending tion

3:06 am

TY hadn 't even noticed that ending

3:24 am

4:20 am

Brolga - a well known Australian bird - obviously not so well known to enable!

5:24 am

good morning gang

5:29 am

It's be interesting to count up all the -ing ending when we're done. There are a lot.

5:30 am

You can make it from two direction,which helps. I don't think I've ever seen so many.

5:32 am

I just realized that I am totally alone in the World of Babble.

5:33 am

Hey Merk, you are never alone in babbleland

5:34 am

How are you doing. I was lurking cos only got few minutes to babble

5:35 am

This is one of those fun grids that you can add -ing to everything immaginable so you tend to keep your nose in the grid doing so.

5:36 am

In fact I just realized that you cannot even use an -ing in the chat box or it is likely to land you in the penalty box.

5:36 am

lol

5:37 am

or rather lol-ing

5:37 am

yea

5:40 am

just realised I hav been so busy with ing wds forgot to put in the root wds!

5:45 am

lol-ing ... I think the only place there are no -ing are ones that start with g and n.

good morning Merk and dinok

there is an no gerund from the bottom n Merk

and an nu

5:49 am

hi nono

5:52 am

Morning Nono

5:52 am

You are in for some great fun this morning.

5:52 am

my fav wd in the grid so far is the yo gerund

that was my first one

5:54 am

The di 6 is pretty funny, too.

hmmmm dont have that one

5:56 am

b/c it's not -ing

5:56 am

It's two itty bitty compound words that put together I've never used in daily speech

not seeing it yet

5:59 am

not getting that merk

found it

6:02 am

di = a groundhog likes to di- . He likes to di- very much, a ---

6:03 am

tyvm. I cd hav sworn i tried that.

6:03 am

And the in 8 has to be googled. It means carved Italian jewelry in relief.

6:03 am

The in 7 is a from of the word.

6:04 am

ty agn

6:05 am

I have enjoyed this grid (n company of course) so much I overstayed my 10min by an hour. bbl. have fun pplz.

6:06 am

6:10 am

In addition to the many -ing, there is also tion and ion endings.

6:41 am

any clues for the di 7/32 please?

6:42 am

di & *****glycerine (BabRabs clue)

6:42 am

First three letters as the one above and below, then the 3rd vowel and the last three letters of the ni 5, 10

6:42 am

brilliant! thank you! :)

6:43 am

A much better clue lynxx.

6:43 am

7:42 am

Hi Yne

TY for that clue, Une. I, too, am finding this grid tough right from the start--words are not jumping out.

7:43 am

wonder how the babbler gathering in DC went last night . . .

7:43 am

And thanks for pointing out the gerund!

7:43 am

I thought the gathering is on for this afternoon

7:44 am

scrabbs, there are lots of gerund endings

7:44 am

oohh, thought it was last night -- never mind! :-)

7:44 am

scrabbs, i've got 30 gerunds . . .

7:45 am

Une, now I am confused but we will find out soon enough...I am sure it went off in style

7:45 am

you're probably right, annie :-)

7:46 am

i'm off the crutches, have a sailor bf, and still in okinawa

7:46 am

8:14 am

Aloy got me hooked on this game.

8:14 am

blame it on Aloy, lol

8:15 am

I think FM should be blamed as usual.

8:15 am

I often play at the flip. I don't chat much - too slow a typist. Besides, I am the "official" lurker.

8:15 am

Wow, that gerund really makes the 7's come.

8:15 am

yup, broll has lurking down to a science..(-:

Happy Anniversary Aloy, 40 years is something to be proud of

8:16 am

Oh, yes, FM should be blamed, no matter what!

8:16 am

ty, Nono.. lotsa water over the dam..

i know what you mean, we celebrated 42 last month

Congratulations to you and hubby, Nono!

ty Annie

8:18 am

A spider bite, oh dear. How are you, Aloy?

8:19 am

I'm fine, Annie... but it was a bit scary

8:19 am

8:19 am

brb need to help hubby with something

8:20 am

Aly is alreasy a super babbler

8:20 am

I'm not sure what it was, Nono.. but the bite did not look like one from a Brown recluse.. tho I did NOT feel it.. yup, Broll... that must be it!

8:20 am

Aloy

8:21 am

aww, hego.. (blush).. I can say I'm a Babble addict for certain

8:22 am

9:01 am

9:02 am

as good as can be expected from a 10 months old pup! He is testing the limits and loves every minute of it. Pretty intensive but so very very worth it... and he is sweet as ever.

9:02 am

how's the house training?

9:03 am

oh perfect, he had that part down within a few months.

9:03 am

smart pup!

9:04 am

9:14 am

Ah yes, enable.

9:14 am

9:55 am

helloooo, mr. cholesterol!

mmm sounds good welki

9:57 am

i try to keep it sort of healthy during the week ... but i've changed my mind lately about margarine, artificial sweetners and other "lite" products ... my (absent) figure will no doubt suffer *lol*

9:58 am

the artificial stuff is worse for you in some ways anyway - your body isn't made to deal with fake fats.

10:00 am

i was the one who said i've got 30 gerunds :-)

10:00 am

hello, hurshy and une

10:00 am

TY welki, got it.

10:15 am

yw ... off to make breakfast

10:25 am

Sarah Palin dropped out of a 5k race on Thanksgiving Day in Kennewick, Wash. The former vice presidential candidate and Alaska Governor quit the race because she wanted to avoid the crowds that were waiting for her at the end, BUT SHE ANNOUNCED ON TWITTER THAT SHE'D BE RUNNING! Accckkkk!

10:25 am

she seems to be quite the quitter

10:25 am

sorry if i've offended any of her fans hereabouts . . .

10:25 am

she does seem to follow a pattern, doesn't she?

10:25 am

she has fans?

10:26 am

indeed!

10:26 am

somewhere.. how many books has she sold?

10:26 am

apparently . . . and they're turning out in droves at all the bookstores

10:26 am

Her fiction seems to sell ..

10:26 am

there cannot possibly be Palin fans here...we read and know words

10:26 am

ummmm...

10:26 am

altho I loved the TV segment last week where they interviewed an employee at an NYC bookstore -- the store had bought 7 copies to have on hand! LOL

10:27 am

you'd be surprised.. there are bound to be some, but certainly a minority here

10:27 am

dorens, you're currently residing in France??

10:27 am

nrkii is ummmming...

10:27 am

sorry, but some of the comments are a little over the top to me

10:28 am

another gerund!!

10:28 am

i assume you're referring to Palin's comments . . .

10:28 am

wish i were une. my friend who died recently (and is the only one who called me dorens) just had his ashes brought to aix-en-provence... so i'm visiting him

10:28 am

coming from a family full of very smart people who happen to be right wing conservatives, I don't appreciate the 'right wing' = stupid equation

10:29 am

so sorry, dorens -- you know, that's where I studied and it's my ex's hometown

10:29 am

william f.buckley---need i say more?

10:29 am

even under the guise of "palin fans = stupid"

10:30 am

yes, une... hence the aix in unaixoise.... we may go there this summer actually

10:30 am

i thought it was more, palin can't put a coherent sentence together, so people who love words don't like her. but perhaps i am putting a generous interpretation on.

10:30 am

hope you get to make the trip -- beautiful part of the world

10:30 am

thank you Dorens... I'm not saying there aren't a whole lot of stupid right-wingers out there, but I think on balance it's about equal in terms of which party draws more stupidity

10:30 am

nrk, do you find that the intelligent conservatives are embracing palin? i thought not

10:30 am

Hello again folks. I got busy with beeper going off, newspaper, phone call from mother, newspaper, making French toast...

10:30 am

hurshy, I think that's pretty generous, at least how I was reading the way the conversation was going

10:31 am

Dorens, some are, yes

10:31 am

i stay away from all politics ,get less headaches and nose bleeds that way;0

10:31 am

hello again, scrabbs

10:31 am

hey, crossy, did you see my post about bacon-scented mancandles?

10:31 am

hi scrabbs.. enjoying not working on sundays?

10:31 am

not because they consider her a rocket scientist, but because she is a no-bulls**t personality, which some conservatives would like to see more of

10:31 am

hi scrabbs!

10:31 am

i wonder what buckley would have thought of her

10:32 am

lol,i have a pair of candles une,when you burn them both next to each other it is supposed to smell like a blt;))

10:32 am

I am on call this weekend so worked in the office from 8:30-1 yesterday and have been on call since. I slept very well all night though!

10:32 am

is she really a no bs personality, or is that the image she is carefully putting out?

10:32 am

hadn't heard of Mandles till NPR did their segment yesterday LOL

10:32 am

Dorens, I don't know, but I think she plays to the right as a no bs personality

10:33 am

not sure what the true person is for so many of these figures

10:33 am

they also sell "wet dog" and "burnt gunpowder" LOL

10:33 am

she scares me

10:33 am

first politician to fill 70% of thier promise list wins;)

10:33 am

let's get back to the whose kitty is the most pretty fight

10:33 am

oh, and "rawhide"

10:33 am

lol une

10:33 am

anyhow, sorry to kick back a bit

10:33 am

don't own a kitty

10:34 am

no censorship in the chog, nrkii

10:34 am

I apologize. Apparently I was wrong.

10:35 am

speak your mind.... all points should be examined

10:35 am

I'm not a big Palin fan... haven't made up my mind about her, but I really don't care if she ran her race today or not, and I really don't want to feel like my family/friends or I am being called stupid...

10:35 am

candy, no apologies needed!!!

10:35 am

i want a candle that smells like that elusive woman smell that a man may sometimes find by nuzzling her neck,clean,warm,and just a elusive hint of some fragrance..;0

10:35 am

ooohhhhh

10:35 am

I am not angry about it, just wanted to chime in before anyone said anything that did make me angry

10:35 am

smart nrk

10:35 am

I've resolved to be a little less quiet in the coming year

10:36 am

about this stuff

10:36 am

crossy, meanwhile, I'm enjoying this candle conversation

10:36 am

Hey, kids, look what I am planning to do next August, for fun, adventure and to honor my later friend, Mary. http://joiacs.webs.com/mtmarcy.htm

10:36 am

what do you call 100 politicians at the bottom of the ocean?....a good start

Hello all

10:37 am

impressive, scrabbs!!

10:37 am

hey, pinny

10:37 am

Hi Pinny

10:37 am

that looks great scrabbler!!!

10:37 am

wow scrabbs,, perfect for you!

10:37 am

i think i've heard the same but with "lawyers" in place of politicians :-)

10:37 am

why are lawyers and politicians safe swimming in the ocean?..because sharks dont eat thier own kind;)

10:37 am

My sister found out about the climb and I SO want to do it!

10:38 am

if they invent that "elusive woman scent" do you think they'll also make the equivalent elusive man scent?

10:38 am

i don't think there is any hope for the US anymore. china's the rising power and we're the fading one. our political system is so gnarled up that it doesn't matter who's elected anymore.

10:38 am

of that im sure nrkii

10:38 am

hurshy, I'm quite concerned that you're right

10:39 am

i think in the woman, it was the scent that was elusive... with men, it is the man who is elusive

10:39 am

we like to be mysterious dorens;0

10:39 am

lol dorens

10:39 am

i agree with you hurshy to a point... but it still matters who is elected here

10:40 am

democracy is like a strainer - it needs to get completely cleaned now and then or the holes all get clogged and nothing can get through at all.

10:41 am

il6 help please?

10:41 am

a shame. when i was growing up we thought we were so lucky, and the future looked so bright. for the last ten years at least it gets dimmer and dimmer

10:41 am

if they accepted ghetto talk, it would be illing

10:41 am

il + note dark

10:42 am

10:45 am

yeah i'm missing 3 top i's

10:45 am

10:45 am

I'm missing in7 and 8, and the io6

10:46 am

it's like poly- , nrk, but with only two :)

10:46 am

io6 like that il6 we got from une

10:46 am

thx nrkii

10:47 am

on a side note i have a friend who has a scary i.q and she says"the best politicians,heads of state,kings,presidents,mayors etc are those that never asked for the position but were asked to take it"...lol it just popped into what passes for my mind;0

10:47 am

well my bottom i is grey at least, thanks

10:47 am

oh, that makes sense hurshy

10:48 am

my pretty mitty kitty is grey too

10:48 am

true enough crossy... what politicians need to go through to attain the power that they want generally taints them to some extent

10:48 am

my pretty kitties are too hursh

10:48 am

dorens to the pb!

10:48 am

my black kitty is best

10:49 am

congrats, Locks!!

11:32 am

Yay Locks!

11:33 am

ata - when i went to my aunt & uncle's for thanksgiving, my cousin had brought with her her 2 month old kitten, oliver, and another aunt had brought a 6 week old, toby, who she's been taking care of since he was found abandoned at 2 weeks old (his poor 3 siblings hadn't made it). it was a cuteness fest.

11:33 am

I bet it was, hurshy!

11:33 am

awww! I can imagine! how lovely :):)

11:33 am

I've just achieved fireworks, myself, as it happens! (finished with the odd ai5 word)

11:33 am

di 6/27?

11:34 am

Congrats Locks + rbud!

11:34 am

though 6 week old kittens shouldn't be mingling before getting their jabs!

11:34 am

Hi Ruru

11:34 am

I am looking for that weird ai word too

11:34 am

but she couldn't leave him home alone...

11:34 am

morning scrabs

11:34 am

noooo, no little kits on their own

11:35 am

they'd have to share food, water or litter to pass FeLeuk or anything, wouldn't they?

11:36 am

i did immediately wash and change clothes on returning to MY cats though, in case of ringworm.

11:37 am

I think so. I'm sure 99.9% of the time these rules are just "making sure"

11:37 am

Yippe, I just passed halfway. And I can shower now as nephew is done upstairs. Then for a walk in the sun. Bye all.

11:37 am

you're such a good kitty mom, hurshy dear

11:37 am

bye scrabs!

di 6/27 to make a hole with a shovel + a large quantity of something

11:38 am

thank you luv

11:39 am

well in a way it's more for my sake than anything. having had one bout with ringworm before, i think vets ought to tell every cat owner about ringworm. it's a simple precaution to take and a HUGE pain in the rear if they get it.

11:39 am

absolutely!

11:40 am

do some vets not do that? that sucks

11:41 am

weird ai5 word = ai + 1st 3 letters of martini garnish

11:41 am

i hadn't been told about it before my cats had it. they don't tell you anything except how to deal with a problem once you have it.

11:41 am

gah! we all get told about teh various worms when they are little kits

11:41 am

OH crap (**** smacks forehead ***)

11:43 am

guess you got it, ru? ;)

11:43 am

considering listing with 11 to go

11:43 am

thanks rb..

11:43 am

I don't believe it .. I tried everythign

11:44 am

that's why I couldn't find it to help you ... I already had it *sigh*

11:45 am

hmmm, just checked def, "garlic flavored mayo" - sounds tasty!

11:45 am

oh yes, it's gorgeous stuff

11:46 am

a staple in southern france rbud

11:46 am

a staple here!!!

11:46 am

why haven't I ever tried it? wonder if the local store might have any...

11:46 am

just add crushed garlic adn mayo :)

11:47 am

ahh, that I could do!

11:47 am

go to a restaurant that has mediterranean foods and you will find it

11:47 am

the stronger the better

11:47 am

garlic, mayo and a sqeeze of lemon

11:48 am

and it tastes good with pretty much everything

11:48 am

I am down to 4 and cannot find them

11:48 am

argggh

11:48 am

chocolate??

11:48 am

somehow thought the word might mean something to do with pulmonary structure, but much nicer than that.

11:49 am

enough mayonaise and you will clog a pulmonary structure though

11:49 am

lol, hursh!

11:49 am

which 4, ru?

11:49 am

but good ai5 is almost worth it

11:49 am

ti7/28 is killing me

11:50 am

11:58 am

11:58 am

Gildor Inglorion

11:59 am

Inglorien even

11:59 am

I was trying "Boro..." - but wasn't he a dwarf?

11:59 am

from Rivendell

11:59 am

yes but who IS he, how does he relate to the others

11:59 am

wasn't gildor killed in the second book?

11:59 am

boromir was a man

11:59 am

Boromir was a grumpy man

11:59 am

from rivendell. friend to frodo

12:00 pm

he's from Rivendell. LOL. no family ties known

12:00 pm

i thought tolkein always gave the family ties

12:00 pm

not when he was feeling awkward, no

12:00 pm

I am waving the white hankie and need the io 6/18

12:01 pm

but with a name like Inglorien, one could hypothesise than he may have Vanyar blood somewhere

12:01 pm

don't you feel better for knowing that :P

12:01 pm

io + not heavy

12:02 pm

12:02 pm

pff!

12:02 pm

ok, then I won't ask

12:02 pm

hi all

12:16 pm

hello jmc

12:18 pm

W. Buckley was smart, but I hated his rich, smug demeanor

12:20 pm

he was interesting to watch but you are right he did sound smug

12:20 pm

but i wonder how much that was accent since many people thought Jimmie carter and Clinton were dumb because they had southern accent

12:20 pm

He came from the rich part of CT [where I have lived for 37 years] and just oozed old money

12:21 pm

does that mean you are rich ;-)

12:22 pm

was Bush only dumb cos he had a texas accent?

12:23 pm

Anyone who lords their vocabulary over his guests turns me off. I loved to watch "Firing Line" just to work up venom toward him

12:23 pm

he didn't actually have a Texan accent -- there are 5 distinct regional Texas accents and he did not have a one

12:24 pm

he had a made up accent

12:25 pm

Buckley didn't make me that mad -- O'Reilly makes me that mad

12:26 pm

I was in college then, majoring in Sociology and staying "clean for Gene [Eugene McCarthy]

12:26 pm

ah Clean for Gene -- I remember it well

12:27 pm

I spent my Spring Break, April 1968, campaigning for him in Levittown, PA

12:27 pm

what sort of clean were people staying?

12:28 pm

Not using drugs

12:28 pm

not looking like a hippie and not using drugs

12:29 pm

1:56 pm

is the di 6 related to restricting food?

1:57 pm

no, but it is a compound

1:57 pm

sounds like it might be a communal garden popular in England

1:58 pm

Nope! Nothing to do with that! More to do with making a hole in the ground, very very much!!

1:59 pm

making a hole in the ground? differently than the di7?

1:59 pm

i think it a phonetics word?

2:00 pm

di6 actually is a person who speaks 2 languages

2:04 pm

hi Jaq and Scrabs and funny Ata

2:04 pm

2:05 pm

Yes, quite a difference between mayo + lungs

2:05 pm

ease off though, soodle's clue is how i got the word, i just happened to know what it meant because i asked my (foodie) bf a couple weeks ago ;)

2:05 pm

not really, not if the lungs are less belgian, then they are both slimey

Could be awkward if you offer to bring the wrong thing to a party.

2:05 pm

we strive to be anatomically correct here in babbleland

2:05 pm

LOL true sally

2:06 pm

Oh and PB for everyone using the lu4 ..

2:06 pm

Yep, Dan

2:06 pm

party in the PB!

2:06 pm

*sprinting off to the PB, hoping to find lunch*

2:07 pm

ooops slopes off to the pb with my huge tin of roses

2:07 pm

and thanks for the lu4

2:07 pm

Soodle hangs head in shame, and goes voluntarily to the PB, even though not actually guity of PB offence. Maybe self-imposed sentence will encourage fellow babblers to forgive her!

2:07 pm

Boy, I'm a jerk today ..

2:07 pm

oh soodle, you will always be forgiven in babble

2:07 pm

And! I heard there were Roses there.........

2:07 pm

awww Soodle we loves you

2:08 pm

hands out choclits

2:08 pm

Phonetically you were rather close, Soodlebum.

2:08 pm

the tin is huge but the roses are fewer by the minute

2:08 pm

Smug Soodle Smirk!!

Are we talking Roses choclits here? mmm

2:08 pm

oh yes sally

Despite huge lunch I could probably manage just one more ..

2:09 pm

first ai6 clue please--gerund ending?

2:09 pm

it's funny, no matter how many people dip into the tin, nobody eats the orange or strawberry creams

2:09 pm

I never want to eat again

2:09 pm

NOT THE NUT ONES. NOT THE NUT ONES - THEY ARE MINE!!!!

2:10 pm

NM, found it!

2:10 pm

my dad does ....

2:10 pm

LOL

Yuck strawberry creams.

2:10 pm

I will take dark choclit please

2:10 pm

brb

2:11 pm

I loved strawberry creams as a kid

And do you remember those violet creams?

2:12 pm

EWEWEW

2:12 pm

I LOATHED parma violets

Me too!

2:12 pm

i remember my mum acting like it was a treat to get them YUKKKKK

2:12 pm

they tasted like fairy liquid somehow

2:13 pm

thats because they tasted like lavender

2:13 pm

they were foul

Never tried fairy liquid :-) But they were so SWEET!

2:13 pm

yes

2:13 pm

somehow they just tasted soapy sweet ICK

2:13 pm

I remember purple candy, violet name, that tasted like perfume smells

Wonder if they're still made.

2:14 pm

yes. ick ick ick

2:14 pm

yes sally

2:15 pm

I am sleepy now after my long hike into the park. I found a new hiking branch/stick--with lichen growing over one side.

Give as a raffle prize perhaps? Then they would be one of those raffle prizes that does the rounds at every raffle.

2:16 pm

I still hate that violety perfumey sweet smell

2:16 pm

I have very sensitive senses--causes me troubles

2:17 pm

i remember as a kid in glasgow i got a whole wagon wheel to myself, it was huge, bigger than my face and i sat behind the sofa and ate the whole thing

2:17 pm

the only times I've ever fainted have been when I've been standing by very sweet ferny perfumes

2:17 pm

Do they still make those violety sweets? I havent seen them in years

2:17 pm

i was as sick as a dog and even the sight of the packjaging now makes me feel nauseous

I think we're all agreed then - no parma violets or strawberry creams in the pb!

2:17 pm

yes soodle

2:17 pm

agreed

2:18 pm

absolutely!

I remember when I loaded too much sugar on my porridge (down, Scots!) and my father made me eat it all. I didn't touch porridge for years.

2:19 pm

i sugar my porridge to heck with eating bland glue

2:19 pm

and worse yet if it's salty YUKKKKKKKK

2:19 pm

Jac, one time on holidays, my family hired a caravan in possibly the wettest location in the Western world. I blew my whole holiday savings on a packet of bikkies (Kimberly), and scoffed the lot on the top bunk of the shared bedroom. I have never been able to look a Kimberly biscuit in the eye ever since!

Actually soft brown sugar is cream is nice :-)

2:19 pm

lol

2:20 pm

i feel your pain soodle

Don't know Kimberlys.

Ooh, just googled. yummm.

2:21 pm

Oh! A most exotic concotion of ginger biscuits with an uber-sugary confection in between 2 biccies. My teeth hurt just writing about them!!

2:51 pm

Hello, Ata! How goes it?

2:51 pm

There are 3 ways to make un**

2:51 pm

just finished scanning latest creation

2:51 pm

by the way ata, that is a marvelous pretty kitty photo

2:51 pm

Let's see it, then! =D

2:52 pm

it's best friend's big fat cat Trouble :)

2:52 pm

ok, let me see if I can get it to look ok as a babble icon

2:53 pm

That IS a fat cat!

2:54 pm

he's 18lb

2:54 pm

first un5--is 3rd letter g?

2:55 pm

my goodness!

2:55 pm

he's big rather than fat really!

2:55 pm

no

2:56 pm

first un5 sounds like the crying veggie

2:56 pm

hello all, need a break from thinking. how is the grid today?

2:56 pm

I see it now--twisty. TY, Jacq

2:57 pm

there. it doesn't look great squished so small though ....

2:57 pm

very twisty indeed

2:57 pm

It requires a lot of thinking, Stid.

2:57 pm

Hello, stidmama.

2:57 pm

okay, refreshing...

2:57 pm

that is a beautiful picture, atalante!

2:57 pm

yellow

2:57 pm

hey vi! how's everything out your way? did your last show go well?

2:58 pm

it is in real life! doesn't look so great here but ...

2:58 pm

hi stid, kje :0

2:58 pm

Beautiful, Ata!

2:58 pm

Lovely. The middle is very quilt-like.

2:58 pm

hm. twisty thinking. *sigh* at least it's not the history of schooling...

2:58 pm

hey jes

2:58 pm

Hello, stidmama. Yes, the fall show went much better than the spring. Holiday sale this weekend, too, but that's usually pretty small. Thanks for asking!

2:59 pm

How's your way? STill the usual too much work?

2:59 pm

good. I will hope for you to have another good weekend!

2:59 pm

ai 5/10 and at 5/10 plaese

2:59 pm

(I should say the holiday sale is NEXT weekend. I'm just thinking ahead already, I guess.)

2:59 pm

at 5 is to do with islands

2:59 pm

ai 5 is a mayo like sauce with garlic

3:00 pm

a and what you pay to cross a bridge

3:00 pm

yes, a LOT of work piled on in honor of our week "off" *exasperated mama look* -- some of the work could have been assigned weeks ago so we could budget our time better. still. it's over for the quarter in two more weeks!

3:00 pm

thx guys

3:00 pm

ai5/10 - scramble up a slew of vowels, it ends in an anagram of canola

3:00 pm

thanks for that mayo - grayed the a

3:00 pm

not getting the mayo clue

3:01 pm

Yay! Will there be an *actual* break over Christmas/New Year's?

3:01 pm

there's only one consonant in the whole word, jaq

3:01 pm

poor overworked stid

3:01 pm

yes, an actual break -- though I will be reading as much as I can to get ahead... you know how it is. another 40 books or so for the next quarter.

3:02 pm

Sheesh. Poor overworked stid, indeed.

3:03 pm

I can always drop out, I suppose, but I keep hoping things will get "better" if not easier. if they don't get "better" I don't know ... I don't mind work, I mind not knowing what I am supposed to be doing!

3:04 pm

you're not dropping out...just hopefully better profs next semester?

3:04 pm

Just keep plugging along. The challenge for you, Stid, is that you have other roles to play besides being a student.

3:04 pm

But do you feel that all the work is really teaching you something and getting you somewhere? Or does it seems like a stupid waste of time?

3:04 pm

nope. same teachers for the whole two years. THIS is when it's not an advantage to have self-contained programs. Usually this sort of thing has worked well for me.

3:05 pm

How many students are in the same program?

3:05 pm

grad school is that way... much less structure, much more feeling your way, less guidance and more seeking the profs out... nature of the beast

3:05 pm

an awful lot of education courses seem like a stupid waste of time.... even years later, when you're teaching, you wonder why????

3:05 pm

no, this quarter has been mostly a waste of time. A clear set of lectures with "review questions" immediately after would have helped focus the learning. the rambling lectures with a sort of summative take-home test (absent clear identification of the main ideas) does not work for me.

3:05 pm

Which is why I taught at private schools without ever being "qualified," Doren! lol

3:06 pm

always knew you were a smart gal, vi

3:06 pm

No, that sounds bad, stid. I hope they have evaluations you can fill out. =P

3:06 pm

ge5/16

3:06 pm

plz

3:06 pm

The "to" words are making me crazy

3:06 pm

they should be responsive... if others agree with you stid, maybe you can get them to listen

3:07 pm

ge + robotic ending, tij

3:07 pm

ANd I always knew you were a woman of discerning taste, Doren! ;)

3:07 pm

thx alot

3:07 pm

yes, there are evaluations, my question is whether to give a big down eval this quarter, or wait and see how things shake out.

3:08 pm

finito!

3:08 pm

YAY doren!!!!

3:08 pm

I am betting you will feel differently a couple years from now, stid.... unless you are in an abnormally bad program... it wasn't until later that i really appreciated how much they made me think just by being so damned vague and nebulous - I often felt like they could have taught better, but in the end, realized I am a better thinker than many of my friends who went through very structured programs

3:09 pm

BTW, not talking about med school, talking about grad school masters in epi

3:09 pm

med school is nothing BUT structure

3:09 pm

Yippee Doren!

3:09 pm

thanks kje (((many hugs))) that is my hope, but right now... If that is their plan, I wish they would make it explicit!

3:09 pm

yah, i figured that kj!

3:09 pm

That's an interesting way to think about it, kje. Do you think they did that on purpose in your program, or just that you managed to make something good out of something bed?

3:10 pm

well, I susopect they would say they did it on purpose - LOLOL

3:10 pm

LOL since we are learning to be teachers of children, and since I KNOW that children benefit from structure, I would prefer them to model those practices!

3:10 pm

stidd, my grad work in counseling was particularly ridiculous.... we had to dig for everything, read the books and dig, which helped us learn to be resourceful, which is necessary in education. Was told later on it was helpful, but i think the prof (there were only two in the program) was just a lazy old bean

3:10 pm

I went to JHU Bllomberg SPH - the top ranked program in the country, so I must believe they had some method to the madness, though while in it at times I wanted to shoot them all

3:11 pm

*grin* I am SO glad I am not alone! thanks everyone!

3:11 pm

stidkid #1 will be home soon... can hardly wait to hear how the trip went

3:11 pm

where was he stid?

3:12 pm

Vancouver BC with my parents

3:12 pm

stid, our profs in first year vet school used to revel in telling us that school is like trying to take a drink out of a firehose. they're going to throw so much crap at you so fast that there is NO WAY you will get it all

3:12 pm

well, adult learning theory is different than child... so it doesn't surprise me that they do not treat you like you are 10 stid ; )

3:12 pm

how nice for him (and them)

3:13 pm

lol and when you start your PhD, you get given a stack of books 2 foot high and told to come back with research ideas in a month or so :P

3:13 pm

i am starting to suspect my raccoon is back again... anyone own a gun and know how to use it... and want to visit texas?

3:13 pm

right jes! but what if the piece you miss is REALLY important? at least I won't have to worry about my students dying if I don't know how to teach the difference between alliteration and assonance!

3:13 pm

to7.32 plx

3:13 pm

or pls svp

3:13 pm

PhD! you have GOT to be kidding.... *takes careful aim at atalante with pie*

3:14 pm

3:34 pm

3:39 pm

thanks har now my last g is the gr7 any help with that please

3:39 pm

poor bull!!

3:39 pm

3:40 pm

wonder what all the farmers would say if they knew how fascinated we all are by their lives

3:40 pm

gr+ UAW

3:40 pm

Double rates on a Sunday? Farmers would be up in arms, it's the same call-out fee on a Sunday as any other day.

3:47 pm

to drive rly closely behind someone in an annoying fashion

3:47 pm

it means that here too Ata

3:47 pm

means that also but when you eat and party in the parking lot before a big game or sports events it means that too

3:47 pm

but ppl do that specifically at football matches?

3:48 pm

ohhhhh

3:48 pm

ta8 here also means to party in the parking lot before a sports event or concert

3:48 pm

oh Haz, I decided last night that you need to madke a cookbook

3:59 pm

But you've never tasted my food!

3:59 pm

never tasted Jamie Oliver's eitehr!

4:00 pm

I know, but all the same. He has catchphrases and rides motorbikes.

4:00 pm

well, unless we made fairy cakes or something at play school

4:00 pm

Actually, we did have mint cheesecake today and I thought of you.

4:01 pm

see? you have famous recipes :)

4:02 pm

you coudl intersperse recipes with anecdotes from rural Irish life

4:02 pm

like Nigella does

4:03 pm

except she doesnt do NI

4:03 pm

Nigella can simper and pout all she likes. Her husband doesn't eat her food. He prefers Weetabix.

4:03 pm

her husband is very odd

4:04 pm

Well, there's that, but it must be a bit of a kick in the teeth for a cookery writer if your husband won't eat the stuff you make.

4:04 pm

did you see the start of Saatchi's School for Modern ARt or whatever it was called? Interesting programmes, Saatchi choses 6 people to mentor. But he refuses to be shown on camera

4:04 pm

throughout the whole series

4:04 pm

liek THe Apprentice with Alan Sugar only shown in shadow

4:05 pm

But his name gets mentioned throughout. Clever use of the licence payers money.

4:05 pm

oh yes

4:06 pm

I watched a couple of old US apprentice episodes with Donald Trump's hair and him yelling. Why can't he just speak?

4:06 pm

Or is he so used to living in vast rooms that he has to shout?

4:07 pm

4:18 pm

we're planning for late April or early May 2010 in Baltimore, MD

4:21 pm

what do Bogglers talk about?

4:21 pm

so wonderful that Tom can enjoy such events so quickly after the surgery! I suppose it's not that quick, but still, it seems it

Evening, all. I found that if I make up a nonsense 4 letter word, and then add ing to it, sometimes it's a hit!

And sometimes not.

4:21 pm

sorry, Babblers

4:22 pm

ata, he and i had lunch with lil*monkey the week after we got home from the surgery. It really is amazing how fast. He goes back to work this week, too.

4:22 pm

just incredible!

4:22 pm

work! wow. the speed of these things is so amazing now

4:22 pm

bichon, a wide array of things, our lives, art, medicine, music, food, places we like to visit.... not unlike here in the chog, really.

4:23 pm

kaplan, so true. looking up the words truly reveals the variety and depth of the English language. And odd bits of French, Yiddish, etc

Wordsplay.net 's boggle dictipnary takes "oint" but this doesn't. I'm still adjusting.

is the name for a trio of Babblers: popodopolis, MrTiny and Douglas

4:48 pm

*putting hand up to request apple pie*

What is the lu4 that doesn't have to do with breathing?

4:48 pm

not a cameo appearance -- the pin

4:48 pm

rhymes with short hit that baseball players do

4:48 pm

it's the same first three letters, and end like the short kickoff in football.

4:49 pm

or the baseball hit.

4:49 pm

And fireworks for me.

4:50 pm

Many thanks all.

4:50 pm

hey, is ru around? ruuuuuuu ... clipped one of bax's nails too far and it's bleeding (a lot) ... applying pressure, have the cornstarch ready (which is what i used to use on birds' nails when i didnt have qwik-stop) ... what else can we do?

4:50 pm

i did not get the in7 yet but I have been told the definition

4:50 pm

ok, american people, seeing as someone mentioned sports, can anyone explain to me what a fly ball is pls!

4:50 pm

i feel slow... can't come up with an opposite for cameo :(

4:50 pm

jmc. I believed his name was Allan Funt

4:50 pm

hey welki!

I didn't know he is a noun now

4:50 pm

Rub bar of soap over nail

4:50 pm

google it jes

4:50 pm

in baseball, batter hits the ball high in the air, possibly with some distance also

4:50 pm

cornstarch works, sugar can work too sometimes

4:50 pm

fly ball = pop-up hit

4:50 pm

cornstarch or flour.

4:50 pm

hmm probably right peri lol!

4:51 pm

oh ok ... I guess wed call it a skyer / skier. TY! I can picture that now :)

4:51 pm

I would go with jes's answer...

4:51 pm

you can put a bandage around the whole foot to keep him from tracking blood all over; it'll stop eventually on its own.

4:51 pm

a fly ball is a ball hit hi and then caught

4:51 pm

Go with Jess the vet!

4:51 pm

oh jes! speaking of nail clippings.... GUESS WHAT????

4:51 pm

bicarbonate of soda works too

4:51 pm

what are you talking about jes!!!???

4:52 pm

he let you without screaming and flailing?

4:52 pm

blood -- nail clippings?

4:52 pm

talking about clipping a nail too short, jam

4:52 pm

YES! I cut ALL 10 of Lucky's toenails about three weeks ago!!! (the front, the back didn't need it)

4:52 pm

di6--related to the di4 before it?

4:52 pm

ouch

4:52 pm

whoohoo!

4:52 pm

he's a golden ... he's just lying here, happy to be fussed over (crazy dog)

4:53 pm

good job, stid :) did he get cookies for each one that he was calm for?

4:53 pm

He didn't actually 'let' me but I gave him 1 mg sudafed per lb of weight about half an hour before, then sat on him and talked gently but firmly. It worked!!!! and she still loves me!

4:53 pm

LOL no, but he did get treats right away!

4:53 pm

jes! i didn't even see you here ... ahhhh, i am relieved

4:53 pm

hi welki

4:53 pm

no it is not Scrabs

4:53 pm

anyway, that is SO much progress, I am feeling quite successful.

4:54 pm

if he'll take 'em, try giving him little treats the whole time, as long as he's calm. it's both reward and distraction in one :)

4:54 pm

oh oh... I have passed halfway and didn't even notice. *sigh*

4:54 pm

wtg stiddie

4:54 pm

this grid is like that, stid

4:54 pm

's okay, welki... more of a mess than a danger in a critter that large :)

4:54 pm

oh, that's a good idea for next time. I think I'll try again when my quarter is over, that will be about 7 weeks in between.

4:54 pm

aww. bye stiddy

4:55 pm

so. I shall return in 20 minutes, another pair of essay questions under my belt. (((hugs all and doggie treats and choclit for appropriate species))) *mini poof*

4:55 pm

if you can, you might try filing his nails with an emery board while they're not too long; just goes quick, no pinching or snapping, you can't quick him, and he gets used to having his toes played with with a little less stress

4:55 pm

ok .. cornstarch on (bleeding through), paper towel, pressure ongoing .. treats would excite him, he's being a calm guy on his own

4:56 pm

bye stiddie

4:56 pm

the treats were directed at stid, sorry to confuse you welki :)

4:56 pm

now just hold that pose for an hour! :P

4:56 pm

yeah, most goldies just belly rubs is sufficient restraint :0

4:56 pm

we used to use a dremel on our basset hounds, one loved it, one hated it ... the golden has always been clipped, but maybe time to change back

4:57 pm

(old clippers broke yesterday, new ones (expensive) used today ... maybe it's just a learning curve, husband has never clipped too far before .. and he's feeling mighty guilty right now

4:58 pm

bo5/14? the one after the pop sound

4:58 pm

eh. it happens occasionally no matter how careful you are; especially since the dg doesn't seem fussed i would tell him not to guilt too much about it ;)

4:58 pm

jes .. hints on bandaging, please. this is going to be tricky

4:59 pm

?popping sound?

4:59 pm

well... what kind of bandage material do you have?

4:59 pm

french for 'box'

4:59 pm

jmc, think french box

4:59 pm

i have a good kit

4:59 pm

(retired emt)

5:00 pm

I don't know word in french for box

5:00 pm

pretend you have a palm injury and wrap the paw up like a fist

5:01 pm

alright. something soft/absorbent but not too bulky (maybe just leave the paper towel) over the end of the nails, then gauze around the foot up past the carpus. coflex over that, and white tape around the top to hold it in place

5:01 pm

bo5,14 bo+ how many ***ms in your shopping basket

5:01 pm

Monkey found it; list hepled

5:01 pm

snug but not cranked tight; not looking for a tourniquet :)

5:01 pm

Help with di6 please?

5:02 pm

usually just leaving it on for an hour or so is sufficient.

5:02 pm

and have more bandaging material to hand it case it leaks!

5:02 pm

di6 is someone who speaks 2 languages, scrab

5:02 pm

ty jes

5:03 pm

dilingual, dilingo, ditongued

5:04 pm

5:05 pm

34 to go--must fetch some nutrition

5:05 pm

clue please for di7/32 please??

5:06 pm

so... i found an in7 and in8 that are reverse cameo... but i thought that clue was for the in6. i was confuse-ed.

5:06 pm

di7 is 2 explosives

5:07 pm

il6 please?

5:07 pm

di7 di + what some cars use in games to make them go very fast

5:07 pm

il + not heavy

5:07 pm

thanks, ata

I do

I don't know what a reverse cameo is, unfortunately

5:09 pm

i didn't either kaplan. google reverse cameo :)

5:09 pm

update : carpet looks like charlie manson paid a visit. baxter is humoring me. using a latex glove over bandage, let's see how long it lasts

5:09 pm

kaplan, cameo is an example of the in8 process - from Italian

5:09 pm

I know that carpet look, welki!

5:09 pm

heheh. get the carpet cleaner going now, before it sets, welki! :)

5:10 pm

and be very VERY glad it wasn't an ear! you'd have spatters on your ceiling as well as your floor.

5:10 pm

and why would you be clipping an ear?

5:10 pm

Hey Babble Family :)

5:10 pm

do ears often need trimming? :P

so what is reverse cameo a clue FOR? And the second google entry has another word on the grid.

5:11 pm

trimming the matts in the hair behind it

5:11 pm

in7 and in8, kaplan

5:11 pm

ohhh!

5:11 pm

hi aussie

5:11 pm

hi, aussie

OH, I get it. I know that word from etching.

5:11 pm

jmc, trimming hair, one may hit the ear itself

5:11 pm

hi aussie

5:12 pm

though usually when i've had bloody dog ears at home, it's because one dog tried to pierce the other dog's ear...

5:12 pm

i have in8, but am not getting the apparently related in7

Ig, anyone?

5:12 pm

Hey Ata, Seain, Kaplan, Jes, Welki, JMC, and anyone else I missed :)

Hello Aussie.

5:12 pm

kaplan, that which causes burning

5:12 pm

ah, found it :)

5:12 pm

some one who starts fires kap

I thought that was the root- I just don't have the proper ending

5:14 pm

just drop a letter, dc

5:14 pm

so i found, jes, thanks :)

Oh , yeah. Thanks

5:17 pm

baxter and husband are de-briefing each other on the couch ... so we're sitting there, i'm putting on the bandage and there's MORE blood! where the heck! from a back claw! these new clips are dangerous ... i bought a good pair instead of the cheap ones i bought before ... that's what i get for upgrading! calamity of errors ... bad sitcom ... visit from the spca *lol* (jess .. how long to keep bandaged? an hour? would hate to take off and have bleeding start again)

5:18 pm

have to say this is NOTHING compared to when the kids raised 4H bunnies and one would clip too close

5:18 pm

hahah. sharp cuts bleed more! they hurt less though, so that's sort of good?

5:19 pm

eh. if he'll leave the bandages on the rest of the afternoon, it doesn't hurt to leave them on. but at least an hour so a clot can form

5:19 pm

it's so horrendous, it looks like you've been murdering your pets, doesn't it

5:19 pm

will he lick it off? (of course he will .. i just washed the sheets and blankets)

5:20 pm

sorry to monopolize the chog, folks ... will gladly clue to make up for the intrusion

5:20 pm

the clot? it should form inside the nail. usually once they stop bleeding they're good. but he'll probably lick all the blood and flour off from the hair between his toes

5:21 pm

but don't start panicking if you do see little blood trails - when I did that to Hobbit, it bled on and off a little bit for a day

5:22 pm

hi all, icon theme updated. St. Andrew's Day tomorrow, the national day of Scotland.

5:22 pm

or the bandage? if he's trying to pull the bandages off, wipe some vick's vaporub on the front

5:22 pm

no no if you have an emergency its fine

5:22 pm

Hey Spritey !!

5:22 pm

hey Aussie!

5:23 pm

hmmm now i am torn sprite i changed my icon for tomorrow already with a poem

5:23 pm

hi je .. we're past 'emergency' and have moved on to 'embarassing moment'

5:23 pm

Vicks? What a wonderful idea

5:23 pm

but I should support St. Andrews

5:23 pm

alright, uploaded pix to my flickr, made a babble set, and you can click through from my profile :)

5:23 pm

well that's okay too lol

5:23 pm

these pets trust you with their lives and then we up and cause them pain ... humbles us in a big way

5:23 pm

okay, back. *runs off to check out seain's flickr stream*

5:23 pm

also uploaded a few pix of Feldspar.

5:24 pm

lollll at the poem though! I like it.

5:24 pm

5:24 pm

5:24 pm

OMG. TOM HAS COLOR IN HIS FACE!!!!!!

5:24 pm

5:24 pm

glad you like it -- it came to me watching t.v. today

5:24 pm

*faint* SPRITE!!!!!!

5:24 pm

welki, if it makes you feel better, when I cut Hobbit's quick, I was ready to give her away to a good home because I was such an evil person!!! So much angst

5:24 pm

color in his face?

5:24 pm

yes, as i he did right out of surgery, too. :) he's doing much better, and returns to work this week.

5:25 pm

Mama !!!

5:25 pm

5:25 pm

Feldspar is soooo pretty

5:25 pm

5:25 pm

hi, sprite :)

5:25 pm

heheh. you guys should have heard my cousin crying when she cut her daughter's toenail too short!

5:25 pm

lol you thought i was an executiev hippie?

5:25 pm

feldspar is indeed a lovely kitty

5:25 pm

hi seain :)

5:26 pm

I sorta did, jmc! LOL I had visions of dreadlocks and all!

5:26 pm

how are you sprite?

5:26 pm

hehehe.. thought you were asking about baxter .. his face is fine, husband's is a little pale ... but tom's looks wonderful :)

5:26 pm

I once managed to get my son's baby fingers between the door. He just started going on all fours. I wanted to close the door, it didn't quite catch, so I gave a yank... yeah. Guiltridden.

5:27 pm

dreadlocks! I am not a black panther or rastafarian!

5:27 pm

when my human kids were small, i had a friend who was a neonatal nurse .. she cut nails for me

5:27 pm

it's terrible the guilt we all put ourselves through!

5:27 pm

owie, sprite -- but realistically, what loving mother hasn't dropped her baby on its head once or twice? *cautiously raising hand*

5:27 pm

once my son got a HUGE splinter while crawling but i didn't notice it until the next day when he would crawl crawl ow crawl crawl ow

5:27 pm

stiddie: scared for the week to come... too much in too short a time, re-assessment for my invalidity benefit... heeeeeelp!

5:28 pm

many many people around here have dreadlocks, though I admit not many professionals. *grin*

5:28 pm

hello Ata!

5:28 pm

*sings 'no woman no cry* in a weak attempt to get je to go rasta (or at least buy a bob marley cd)

5:28 pm

oh gee sprite! *sending POWERFUL good thoughts for benefits to continue*

5:28 pm

{{Sprite}} Hope all goes well for you Honey...

5:28 pm

awww poor son, jmc, lol.

5:28 pm

actually my german intern has blond dreads

5:28 pm

I have an overwhelming desire to brush his hair

5:28 pm

**buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta**

5:28 pm

thanks all :) Such positive thoughts should make all the difference.

5:29 pm

*hugs spritey*

5:29 pm

yes jmc, I often do also! kids!

5:29 pm

I have serveral bob marley cds ty welki

5:29 pm

sprite, i'm sure it will go well. Try not to stress too much about it.

5:29 pm

are you looking in the mirror, practicing looking pitiful, sprite?

5:29 pm

yeah i felt like a terrible mother not to have noticed sprite

5:30 pm

I think (rationally) that when you take care of someone intensively, it is inevitable to goof up occasionally. But when I am the one goofing up and my dog or child is the victim, I feel soooooo bad and evil.

5:30 pm

<-- ran over her daughter's foot

5:30 pm

omg i think you win welki!

5:30 pm

stiddie, I am such an awful liar... can only tell the truth. Which is bad enough, but god I hope they will listen.

5:30 pm

parenting is like that, I think -- the really good parents have the guilt when they mess up.

5:30 pm

i once shut my great-grandmother's hand in a car door. :/

5:30 pm

argh welki, with a car??

5:31 pm

or lose, depends on how you look at it *lol* she was fine, no injury

5:31 pm

yes, a car

5:31 pm

ouch seain, that is awful too. You must have felt bad.

5:31 pm

oh oh seain -- I bet she was hopping mad!

5:31 pm

my dad closed the hood of the car on my thumb

5:31 pm

when I was young, we used to spend a lot of time in a nature reserve that my parents were wardens for. They don't feel the cold. They always thought I was whinging when I said I was freezing. Now mum realises I wasn't ... so I spent half my childhood shivering. She feels suitably guilty LOL

5:31 pm

i closed a car door on my sister's hand

5:32 pm

that is one of the worst things, getting between the car hood or door. Eeks.

5:32 pm

update: both asleep on couch, both snoring

5:32 pm

hello 20 to go

5:32 pm

my mom sent my brother to school with pnemonia - he still talks about it

Hello. Wont stay too long. Sprite make sure all your paper work is intact and bring everything neatly in a folder they get a bit over welmed at that much paperwork

5:32 pm

yeah, but which sister, jmc?

5:32 pm

hi harp

5:32 pm

I stabbed my hand making a penny jar for my Sister :)

5:32 pm

stid, she had been a kindergarten teacher, and handled it well. I was 6 or 7 at the time.

5:32 pm

and hi everyone

5:32 pm

I was going to saym 'Hello' but there are too many violent people here. :-(

5:32 pm

\oops, wasn't meant to be a smile...

5:32 pm

grandma, however, was livid

5:32 pm

I closed (and locked) the car door on my own hand once when I had two young children with me. In an underground parking garage. With the keys in the car. *sigh* that's just feeling stupid though, not guilty

5:32 pm

LOL Jac

5:32 pm

lol.... Hey Jacs..

5:32 pm

5:34 pm

hi tagic

5:34 pm

5:34 pm

Hi, popping in for a second before I race off to bed. Does anyone have the gr 7, it is my last g and driving me nuts.

Howdy I have been absent for an age but there was so many people I haven't seen in an age

5:35 pm

it's amazing how this community stays the same - it makes me so happy

5:35 pm

peri, i found that perfume!! lovely! i liked it even more after it had been on my wrist for a couple of hours! (but i think i've fallen for warm vanilla sugar)

5:35 pm

gr + the flag ***** Jack.

5:35 pm

ahh, thanks Sprite.

5:35 pm

**snugs for Herin**

5:35 pm

ty for the twofer, sprite

5:36 pm

glad you like it, I like the vanilla noir too

5:36 pm

my younger son broke the same arm (different places) near the wrist twice in 9 months a few years back. The second xray was not completely indicative of a break, but I ended up insisting we cast it and treat it as if it was (wristbones don't always heal properly) just in case.

5:36 pm

hi, mich

5:36 pm

this is a nice place to be when you are going through a rough time, stud.

5:36 pm

aha! smelly little fish clue! thanks for that gr sprite

5:36 pm

hey mich!

5:36 pm

my pleasure :D

5:36 pm

Nice pics dcs.

5:36 pm

(((((tragic)))))) break ups are tough

Sprite if you are not organised just spend 15 min putting all the paper work together.

5:36 pm

thanks, jac

5:37 pm

hi herin

5:37 pm

Jac, your icon is brilliant :)

5:37 pm

Hey all, and bye. I got a-g but the i's will just give me a headache, so I'm off to bed with 60 left. ;-( Good night friends.

5:37 pm

5:37 pm

*singing loudly* BREAKING UP is HARD to DOoooooooo......

5:37 pm

hi/bye mich

O TS your grrl seemed so nice. Sorry huggles. Yes I am here so many people

5:37 pm

when i broke my arm I went in thinking i'd broken the other one... they xray'd both to see the difference, and i left with a cast on the other arm

5:37 pm

I will, lady, and I will insist he gets in touch with my psychiatrist.

5:37 pm

and yeah... breaking up is terribly hard to do

5:37 pm

*wink at stud* but choclits make it all better, right? *offers lovely truffle choclits*

5:38 pm

5:39 pm

well that is basically what they are, aren't they lady... sigh. The system is much sicker than I am.

5:39 pm

Hi everyone. Stid, how is the cat that was worrying you the other night?

5:39 pm

i never know what part of a nickname to choose when i don't want to type the whole thing and then i worry that i've offended .. should be the most complex problem i ever face *lol*

5:39 pm

5:40 pm

hey bugs -- thanks for asking, we stopped by for an hour yesterday and she seemed much better. The owners get home today and so we aren't going over, I hope she will be okay, but she is an old cat.

5:40 pm

WOW lady! *impressed mama look*

5:40 pm

hi bugs

5:40 pm

thanks lady, *hugs*.

5:41 pm

Hi jmc. Always good to see you.

5:41 pm

woweeeee lady! That is better than good. Better than better! :)

5:41 pm

hi Bugs

5:42 pm

Hi Sprite. I hardly ever see you. I hope you are keeping well

One teacher got in a snit with me so she got mean and made me get 69 which is a credit not a Distinction off by a mark which i was not impressed with.

See and this is why I have been babble absent

5:42 pm

ooh nice lady! sorry i got lost in chog

5:42 pm

our schedules don't match, i think, Bugs. It is after midnight here and I should be in bed right now :) Just too nervous to sleep.

5:43 pm

*makes lovely warm milk with sprinkle of cinnamon for sprite*

5:43 pm

a very worthy reason to be babble absent, I'd say. Though I miss you... but you are going so strong, lady!

5:43 pm

{{{{sprite}}}}

5:43 pm

ti7/28?

5:43 pm

I hope you settle soon. I find this a fun place to let go of things when I can't sleep. Too much laughter here

5:44 pm

TS she is missing out a lot you seem like a terrific and strong person.

5:44 pm

5:45 pm

5:45 pm

5:46 pm

5:46 pm

thanks for being here, friends -- you always help me calm down enough to refocus on my work. *stern mama look* Sprite, take care of yourself. I count on you to know how to breathe through the anxiety and refocus on something that you have an ability to change.

JEss my friend rescued another dog. I swear she is just like you.

5:46 pm

*hugs all* *Poof*

5:46 pm

5:54 pm

me too ata - it's my favorite movie

5:54 pm

yay Ata, another connaisseur of good books

5:54 pm

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

ti + not heavy, alt spelling, double the consonant

TS you are so awesome helping the baby kitties.

5:56 pm

I have to admit that I refused to ever watch the movie because I love the book so so so much that I refuse for the images of the characters to be changed from how I see them

5:56 pm

that is so sad, lady.

5:56 pm

this is a recent one from calgary .. breaks my heart http://tiny.cc/W8hyE

5:56 pm

TY for oi5--another new word today

5:56 pm

the book is well filmed, Ata, but nothing compares to one's own images.

5:57 pm

yvw Scrabs

5:57 pm

well. that is one i'd put on my NOT REPUTABLE breeder list. what the crap is wrong with taht man's head? "I don't handle my pups at all"

5:57 pm

it's the only movie i like better than the book actually

5:57 pm

thanks sprite :)

5:57 pm

and thank you lady :)

5:57 pm

he is out of his mind, jes! Nobody should get a dog from that man.

5:57 pm

no 6 help please

5:57 pm

one more left....can anyone help with DI7/32 ?

5:58 pm

I love the book, because I have such a beautiful copy of it, with red ink and green inked chapters

5:58 pm

the first movie was good, but stops 1/3 of the way into the book. the second movie was crap

I did get to meet the dog. He was ok after 3 days of restricted access. Jess. the girl in the article is my friend. The journalist is trying damn hard to get this man to back up ''his good reputation'' by allowing media on his property to show that he is a puppy farmer and a bad bad man

5:58 pm

di7= chemical explosiv

5:58 pm

no help, Scrabs? lol. It is a gerund...

5:58 pm

di + ***** glycerin.

5:59 pm

yeah - my version wasn't the different ink one - i think i would have loved that one

5:59 pm

there is no way on this earth that not handling the puppies at all is a good thing. NO WAY to sell that as good, except to crazy people

5:59 pm

Ata, I have a copy in red and blue!

5:59 pm

Got it, Sprite...flatlining here after being on call all weekend

5:59 pm

got it....thanks !!!!!

5:59 pm

mine is big sized paperback, with wonderful illustrations at the start of each chapter. I got it as a school prize when I was little!

Seethe thing is with a dog like that he has been put on the register for dangerous dog so he has to be trained and muzzled at all times and no children near him. He will became a security dog

5:59 pm

Sprite - Thanks for the di7.

5:59 pm

oh dear, I don't blame you one bit, Scrabs! Tough weekend. Any free time soon?

6:00 pm

my pleasure, Jac

6:00 pm

Yes--all weekends off until 2nd weekend of january!

6:00 pm

Hi jacula

6:00 pm

6:01 pm

ah, that is good, Scrabs. A bit of rest for the not-so-wicked ;)

6:01 pm

Hi Scrabbs.

6:02 pm

6:02 pm

6:02 pm

I think I read that book solidly for about a month, over and over again

6:02 pm

Bye, Sprite--sleep well!

6:03 pm

6:03 pm

6:03 pm

Sleep well, Sprite. Try not to worry. xxx

Holly - other do5 (5.12) is USA spelling of downheartedness.

I only use it in spanish

7:47 pm

7:48 pm

i have it, cyber, was just trying to remember the previous clue

7:48 pm

It's not often used in UK these days unless it has 'ous' at the end.

7:48 pm

that makes sense to me, jac

7:48 pm

here neither, jac

7:48 pm

interesting... yes, it is more familiar with ous ending... without it, I only use it in Spanish

7:50 pm

7:50 pm

My husband is laughing at me because I have just finished cutting about 6,000 photos from our trip down to about 2,000. I was really pleased with myself -- he says that is still excessive!

Tee hee, I must be getting more effective a 'nagging' my Other Half. I just went into the bedroom to get my dressing gown and found him on my side of the bed. I didn't touch him, just quietly said, 'Get on your own side,' and he DID!:-)

7:55 pm

what on earth is a twiddle?

7:56 pm

dcs - How's Tom do5/16?

7:57 pm

red - a twiddle is a little bit or a word to describe someone winding their hair around their fingers.

we twiddle thumbs in the US. and Jac you arent a twiddle, your awesome!

7:58 pm

very, very well, jac, thank you. in my profile are pictures from the Saturday meetup in DC

7:59 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

7:59 pm

7:59 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

7:59 pm

dcs - yes, I saw the pics. I also saw the ones of Tom, which prompted me to ask how he's do5/16. Glad he's on the mend.

8:01 pm

red - I guess twiddle in the sense of something small comes from the term tiddler and has been changed in local dialect.

8:01 pm

The proper meaning of twiddle is a combination of twirl and fiddle, I think.

8:01 pm

Red - thank you!

8:01 pm

Hi Min.

8:03 pm

Min - have you just started the grid?

8:05 pm

8:16 pm

Can someone help with the in8?

8:17 pm

8:34 pm

Not really for me, torg, but for stepdaughter, who's recently discovered the joy of a homemade banana milkshake when she gets home from school.

8:35 pm

hi folks

8:36 pm

Can someone clue the two o6s?

8:36 pm

One banana, 2 and a half scoops of icecream and about half a pint of milk. Whizz with a blender and drink. If you want to make a meal of it, and you trust your egg source, add a raw egg to the mix.

8:41 pm

The gr7 run is something of an event here ..

8:41 pm

8:42 pm

gr7 could be a contraction of a former supermarket here

8:42 pm

"Cabana boys are typically viewed as scantily clad attractive young men who cater to their clients' every whim." Ah! Now I see!

8:42 pm

gr7s that is .. not cabana boys! *lol*

8:42 pm

the cabana boys and i get along very very well

8:42 pm

8:51 pm

jmc - I said, 'Oh,buggeration!' when something went awry the other day. Stepdaughter asked me if it was really A Word. I said I had no idea but it made me feel better to say it. Then she looked closely at me, (she's 14), and asked if I knew what bugger and buggery actually meant. 'I'm 52,' I told her. 'I do know what both words mean.

8:55 pm

ty - even though that wasn't the explosive, I have fireworks.

8:55 pm

Once you gauge the nail length, it's easy in future, if you cut them regularly.

8:56 pm

at our age, not much is explosive .. and that which is, isn't mentionable in mixed company

8:56 pm

Cats genereally do it for themselves on clawing posts. But, when they get old, you have to persuade them to let you help.

9:00 pm

dcs - your cat must be more amenable than my old cat was.

9:00 pm

i clip them from kitten onward

9:00 pm

scratching posts not enough, in my experience

9:01 pm

Problem with both my cats, dcs, is that they came to me asking for a home as older strays.

9:01 pm

dcs - do your cats go outside?

9:01 pm

no, jac

9:01 pm

9:02 pm
