way to persevere granny
wtg granny
that's really good Rose.and you are sensible/experienced enough to cease & desist as necessary
all i can say is, thank the heavens for oxycodone, right now i don't care who killed the cat. * grin *
lol
went back to work this week, 4 hours only, doing clerical and admin.stuff
reallyt! some-one killed the cat?
does sitting cause swelling?
not really, dee. the doc martens are terrific, keeping the fluid from building up.
Well, I've run out of steam -- 106/89
fantastic!
so worth the cost then granny?
take care jilli, hope you get over that cough
that was a good purchase, granny!

oh, poop, nite flosey and dee.
is there anyone here? or am i talking to the wall ?
I am still here rose
morning all
ohgoodie, and hello spritey
what are the best perks of paying for pro?
i suppose tile stats and word stats but then really nice people too
and lickety's clues
whats different about the tile and word stats?
I think they dissappear after a few weeks if you dont go pro
nothing... you get to keep them forever as pro, while you will lose them in 3 weeks as nonpro
oh, didnt know that... that doesnt sound fun
lickety's clues are on his clue page, everybody can use those.
(which wasn't supposed to be a stopper)
fireworks here
gratz ursh
ty sprite will be off if no help needed
not for me yet, thanks for offering. Have a nice day!
hi again, cant sleep so will see if I can finish off the last 13 words
good morning Sprite
hi flosey, sorry you can't sleep, but glad to see you. I copied your recipe and the one from the website, will try it out soon!
thanks so much for sharing
hope it works for you Sprite. I have a new bread machine and don't like it as well as the old one that gave up the ghost
am going to try doing it in the machine until the last rising, then take it out and let it rise in pans and finish in the oven
argh that is always frustrating. Wish things would live on forever, you get so used to them and new isn't always better. Often worse!
my experience with this anyway Sprite - and it's a bigger name!!
doesn't always mean better!
yeah, names don't tell everything :)
well that is fireflies for me. Friendly grid! I hope you will be able to sleep soon, flosey. Happy dreams for then, and a *hug* for now.
am sure I will Sprite, thanks. and Congrats on completing
and hugs, have a great day
your icon clue was my first 7! Thanks :) *poof*
you are most welcome
guess there's no one to say goodnight to!

good morning friends....
morning trif;))
were you here yesterday evening, crossy?
till about 7 i believe
hmmm. was going to tell you about primo's excellent driving adventure, but I think you were here....
hate to be boring and repetitive, don't you know....
Trif, I would love to hear about primo's adventure..and hello everyone
tell anyways,i cant recall it and have a short term memory like a seive,so every story is a new saga;)
just as I know your boy is going to start driving soon ---
hey, all -- i wanna hear, trif!
st ern
oh no...
Hi Une and Sam
Primo has his permit, and he had a late aft dentist appt yesterday, and I wanted him to practice driving at night, so he drove home....
kid wont be driving my car,im telling you that!
hey,annie :-)
all was well, until he attempted to park in our garage for the first time -- he was in, but not far enough in - tried to move up a few feet, and his foot slipped off the brake, hit the gas, and -- well, you can imagine what happened next! my poor car!
oh no! just like in that commercial
oh noooooo
uh oh
did he crash right through into the house?
poor primo was SO upset - not too mention I had gotten OUT of the car, and was guiding him in, and just noticed a green ball that I stepped to the side to move out of the way....if I hadn't.....
ahh..the plot thickens
ohmygod, trif!
the garage door was up crossy - he hit the far side of the garage (from the inside)
I hate to follow that thought
not good;(
I would have been pinned at thigh level between the back wall of the garage and the bumper of my pathfinder, which is quite big.
good lord
The green ball saved you.
but I have to give credit where it is due - not 15 minutes later, mr. hate arrived to take the kids to dinner - and he was LOVELY. completely calm with primo, showed him how to open the hood, how to assess the damage, the whole thing. I haven't seen that side of him in YEARS so it was good to see. Scored major points with me, and I hope with primo too.
hmmmm
if i were dad,i would of lost my mind,kudos to the mr
the big tear now is how to handle the repair and all - primo is eligible to get his license in two weeks. having an accident reported on your permit sets the counter back to zero, which means he would not be eligible to take the test until at least june, and he will have to sit driver's ed again (at my expense) the whole thing.
must run but, trif, SO glad you and primo were ok
er, ARE ok :-)
actually,now my boy is 15,i find i have to coast with everything and put every crisis in its proper place..or id be losing my mind non stop
i have re6,18 re7,28 re6,18 re4,4 what am i missing? please
how much damage we talking about trif?
the la7, pls?
I am not even sure this counts as an "accident" - no police were involved, no report was filed. it happened in our HOUSE for god sakes!
team - another 4/4
whoa, just got thrown out of babble there for a minute! that was weird....
if it is under 1000 just bite the bullet and fix it yourself without insurance
well, let's see, will need a whole new front bumper, and a new fog light --- honestly, with enough duct tape I could probably patch it together, but oh, wouldn't that be pretty!
thanks ladycece
ahh one of those platic bumber covers;(
l + loft + vowel for the la 7
yw
that's the dark side of the story, crossy - mr. hate had phoned on monday to say that - even though we have NO financial agreement in place yet - he had closed the joint checking and credit cards, so I am cut off, as it were. what a prince
did it push the actual metal part of the bumper in?
not sure crossy. I am not exactly mechanically fluent
if it is just the plastic cover,it is not so bad
wow, good to know! thanks!
still 1500 or so,once you order the cover and have the snop mount it
shop even
fog lamp is 20 dollars
I actually have a friend who is a mechanic - would probably ask him. are bumpers not covered under the warranty?
no,im afraid not trif
well, that probably makes sense - they would do nothing but replace them all the time....
when they say bumper to bumper,they mean everything except the bumpers ;/
cause everyone breaks them at one point or another
i cant even tell you how many i have cracked in a winter deep freeze
Morning All.
crossy misses real chrome bumpers
howdy hego
Hi hego!
Crossy's not alone in that.
damn plastic crap
Yeah!!!
How's the grid? It looks big.
primo's gf had a car with CARDBOARD in the back of her trunk....that's quality!
Grid is friendly today, hego
tx Annie.
BR - if you are still here, thanks for the la7 clue, which I just figured out....slow today!
ahh,wooden panels with air holes usually installed around the base of trailer homes
there you go, crossy!
whee!
Huh?
Oh
has anyone figured out the u yet?
Damned u's.
indeed. though I dread i's more
O's are my worst.
i can tell you what it isn't: uhia uhio, upmet, upmeal, upmast, upet, upial, or uhial.
LOL, Trif
up and ** You Like It
Tx Annie.

I know the u: opposite of down + like
Can anyone tell me how to get BabbleExpert? I have written to Lickety twice with no results. Is there some other way?
hego, I can give you the link if you want.
Taht would be great Annie.
I didn't know there wse.
one
God, now I'm dislexic!
im not under the affluence of incohol,its just that thinkle peep i are;))
Hee hee!
Uni got it for me. My daughter took it from there. here it is:http://licketysplitaus.googlepages. com/BabbleExpert12_FireworksForever.zi p
curious what BAbble Expert is? Is that where the words go right into the list. It does not work with Macs. IS that correct?
Thanks Annie. You're a jewel!
still can't get the la7!!
Glad to be of help because I am computer illiterate.
RBK, that's is the one but I am not sure about Macs
You'd never know it
I just downloaded your link and it mumble jumble.
Believe me or ask Haz...LOL
Say right at the top ..the only liegible part: must be read with win32
RBK, I am so sorry but I dont know what win32 is.
licketySplitAUS @ gmail.com
Crossy, are you here? Crossy would know about Macs, I think
WIndows program / PC's
I got it Annie. This is awesome!
Oh, I am so happy!!!! *jumps up and down with joy*
sorry,i dont do macs..didnt know anyone outside of the medical field actually used them anymore;))
No, RKB, I've heard itdoesn't work with MAC.
I think I will email and see what progress might be using Macs. Thanks for trying.
MAcs: no one using them...many of my friends and lots of businesses are starting to choose Apple. LOVE macs..have had both!
has anyone found the 8 word?
'morning, folks (i use a mac .. expert is not compatible)
now e know,ty welki
rbk, ol8----ol, vowel,flower
wow ths
oh, hey -just remembered -- today is Aknitter's birthday, so if she wanders in, do wish her many happy returns, please
Trif, thanks for telling me..will be sure to look for her
i went with pc,simply because i didnt want to send the whole thing in anytime a small part goes,with an actual tower i can replace hard drives,ram,gpu cards, and optical drives and fans all at home in under 30 minutes
i use both ... pros and cons for each
maximum pc magazine is my friend
Can I have a round of applause? I've just managed to instal a new monitor. This is nail-biting stuff for a technophobe like me.
yaa for haz!!!
now we can upgrade your ram;)))
*trumpets, confetti and applause*
There are separate speakers this time. They're just sitting there, looking at me. No instructions with them....
The only rams I know about are eating grass in the fields.
do you have a towr haz?
tower even
*jumping up and down, waving banners and hollering YAYAYAYAY!!!!
Yes, I think that's what it's called.
Thank you, Annie, I knew you'd appreciate my triumph.
if you have a tower,on the back will be 3 jacks of 1/8 inch a green one,a yellow one, and a white..plug speakers into green one
Yes, there's a green jack, but the jack from the speakers isn't coloured green.
if they are powered speakers plug it outlet into wall
But just plug in anyway?
soaky plug it inbto green jack
I knew he's go technical on me....
There's no plug on them.
you will get a popup on the monitor
saying a new device has been added
There's another rectangular thing that's meant to go somewhere.
select sterio speakers
does it have one of those awsome U.K power prongs on it?
That's done something. We have fistling noises.
Can I get that round of applause again, louder this time, just to test the speakers?
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAAY!!!!1
Excellent!
clap, clap, clapping furiously.. wtg Haz!
and hi Babblers, Happy Friday
Hi Aloy.
Thank you all for witnessing this technological something or other. The relief of seeing babble again instead of a ghostly white light.
I am in awe.
yaa for haz!!!
ready to install a new video card now? hehe
Autographs and pictures will be supplied on receipt of a stamped addressed envelope.
I could not have done it without the help of crosshair. Take a bow and have an extra slice of bacon.
Of course, you followed my instructions laid out in my book.
crossy bows,with mouth full of bacon
I did, Annie, that volume has proved its worth time and time again.
aniie,you know i only read the manual AFTER im done building something
I am very proud of both of you.
But crossy, you're a man. MANuals are not well named.
mauals?! we dont need no steenking manuals
They're only provided for us silly women who have no imagination.
like recipes?
Exactly - and knitting patterns.
are you about to leave, Haz?
Okay, now that I've acomplished heroic status in Annie's eyes, I'd better get down to more mundane tasks, like putting away the rest of the shopping and clearing up the packaging.
Timing! Every time I'm about to go, Ata appears.
One of these days I'll stick around, honestly!
See you later, Haz
ttfn, Haz..
Bye, Annie. See you all later. Unless Ata sulks furiously.
Huge moment of panic!!! My keyboard stopped working. Then duh, I realized it needed batteries as it's wireless. so I'm back in business.
Hi Haz and Aloy.
sulking furiously already :)
whew.. good news, hego
Not that the owner of the prettiest kitty ever known to man, in the history of the universe and throughout unexplored galaxies, could possibly ever have anything about which to sulk....
I'm glad you acknowledge Silverclaw's status :):)
I saw a Welsh Springer today that wasn't half as pretty as SPangle
It's called diplomacy, dear.
a little tiny weeny bit slimmer maybe ....
Spangle wins in the pretty stakes.
she does indeed
though 2 strangers praised Hobbit today at the beach
Hobbit deserves praise, especially when she's got her purple collar on.
she's always got her purple collar on!
Okay, now that we've achieved entente cordiale, I must be off (eat your heart out, Henry Kissinger) So much conflict could be avoided if people just praised each other's pets.
Byeeee!
she gets ever so offended if I take it off lol
byeeeee
And fireworks for me.

Sigh I wish I could "get by" like you do.
But I'm just a Babble baby. Maybe someday......
Hey you are good at babbling, don`t put yourself down.
takes some time, hego
Hi Welki. How was your NJ visit?
Blush, tx Zoom!
Hello, Welki :-)
heck, by some standards, i'm still a babble baby, too ... and i've been playing almost 10 months. some players have been around for years and years
visit was great .. too short (as always)
hi zoom :)
great!
and your son-in law?
Oh, tks for asking. He's doing okay. Did not need surgery.
whew .. that's good news :)
But it's diverticulitis, so he may need some in the future.
nasty condition
Yes, I didn't realize how much so. But he's a good patient and is folllowing doc's orders.
no small feat ... but it's painful if someone affected doesn't follow those orders
Yes, true
21 left for later, must scoot.. Happy Babbling (-:
can someone give me the correct email address of lickety? Mine says it does not exist
good morning, does anyone have an icon clue for me?
sorry, inge, the only one i have is probably the same as yours, licketySplitAUS@gmail.com
Hi Inge and Harp
The address given for lickety worked forme.
'morning, harp (i don't)
hello...can i have a clue for the hi6? pleas
I'm not good at the icon thing harpy, sorry.
hi6 = to hurry + *** de mer

Good morning, Babblers!
hi, judi
Hi Judi
I'll do a bit of the grid and then get a new icon....
ty welki
blech. big winter storm coming, that's bad. i have the day off, that's good. the house is a mess ... and i have the day off, that's bad *lol*
so, no fly fishing for you today, welk?
lol Welki. I have to get to work soon also.
You're doomed, Welki.
blizzard conditions on the way, so no. ice isn't thick enough for my comfort yet anyway ... end of the month will be better
i am doomed. just me, mt. laundry, a messy house and cleaning supplies. hellloooooo mr dyson!
oh, you said fly fishing ... unless i take a trip to a warmer place, probably won't be any of that until spring (although you can use flies when ice fishing ... but i have never tried that)
how many letters in the h and the u please?
Mmm. Froze flies. Crunch.
6 for the h, 4 for the u
fish like them ... like chips for fish :)
i can't stand the thought of ice fishing, way too boring for my tastes! Although we saw folks fly fishing on Rock Creek in Montana last weekend!
boring? hahahahaha! nevah! we have a blast!
I have a short attention span when it comes to fishing....
i usually bring a book, but i've yet to open one on the ice ... or in the ice tent (heated .. we fished last year in -25c temps)
-25 and you're worried about a little snow storm???
calgary does not take care of its roads, judi ... i'll worry until everyone is home safe and sound (and by everyone, i mean like 1 million people *lol*)
I haven't been to Calgary for a decade. Nice city.
it's changed during the last 10 years ... and i'm afraid not for the better :(
Bye gang. Bbl
but that said, it's still a nice place to live .. bye, hego!
how many letters in the lone i? please?
4
But you know welk, ANYONE in Canada is nicer than ANYONE in the states, from my perspective, even the hoodlums!
thanks
Heyyyyy!
nah, i don't believe that for a second. i had friendlier neighbors in nyc than i've ever had here
You tell 'em Welki. Yeah!
and hoodlums? lemme tell ya, at the wrong end of a knife or gun, no one on the other end is "nice"
"This is a stick-up. May I please have all of your cash? Thank you very much."
Now I'm really gone. Poof!
clue for at5?
well yes, that would be the canadian way ... with an apology for causing any inconvenience
cobwebs, old chests, climb up into the at***
thanks
*sigh* off to survey today's possibilities ... no doubt will be back when i remind myself that i'm a better procrastinator than cleaner :)
See ya, Welki!
hi6?
I haven't gotten it yet Harp... sorry!
hi= of or pertaining to winter; wintry.
Perfect for today
... fireworks!
hi = to hurry + latin for bad, I think.
Never heard that hi6 before.
nor i
I didn't either and I had no idea that it pertained to winter.
em6 words?
alt. spelling for when you are speared.
em + ashy colored
Then em + another 4,5 word in our list.
It causes vomiting so is used to cleanse the stomach if you've swallowed something poisonous that needs to be upchucked immediately.

howdy boo,cassi
GAH the VEC site not responding. How am i supposed to file if no response./whine Sigh. Hello, everyone.
hey crossi!
*crossy
howdy dc,govt paperwork getting u down?
ems, anyone?
FE is a me5 (chemistry)
em6/24 - what Vlad did
THX!!
ty torgone
indeed crossy. week one down, working now on week 2
what's the weather like for you crossy? It is supposed to snow here, everyone is flippin out.
we had some snow this morning cassi,bout an inch and was -3c
lol,we dont flip out till it gets over 2 feet
yikes! It is a little less than 40F here.
we are supposed to get 1-3 inches... I bet the whole city just about shuts down
ive actually seen four feet in a single snowfall and the town was shut down for the day while the plows caught up(wasaga beach,ontario)
yea, I was in a blizzard in Taos, NM when I was young (I think I was 7). That was pretty bad, we were on the mountain too!
we don't have the equipment to handle snow/ice. That is part of the problem. And people don't know how to drive when it rains here, much less snow.
hi Cassi - are you in Memphis too?
nope, in Austin, Texas
I see. Memphis wons NO plows. Just salts and/or sands. Not supposed to snow here you know (dripping sarcasm). Just wish it would take out the AHs who race to lights, can't remember where they are or where they are going and don't give a ding-dong about anyone but themselves.
We're having snow here today, too - didn't even bother looking at the amount predicted, doesn't matter - no one will see a snow plos before tomorrow, or a sanding truck before rush hour this evening. And we're in Canada!
But that would empty the place....
owns
I don't think Austin owns any plows either, but I have never seen it snow bad enough to need it.
This is the third snow this week, and the results have been the same twice now - I think they'll go for a perfect record of pretending that Calgary is in California.
But they were stupid and a lot of the highways are elevated.. so they freeze. So it's not just a bridge that is out, it will be two or three entire highways (we only have about 5)
helen, little did you know you truly live in Cali!
I have seen 3-4" of ice on roads because it was never plowed and refroze. Real fun to drive on.
They forgot to provide the beaches.
yikes!
Helen, yea, not everywhere in cali has beaches... I bet you have better summers! I know areas in Cali that hit 110F in the summer!
There is actually a snow alert in effect (SOUTH of us!) right now. I shudder to think....
We're getting snow tomorrow night here on the east coast.
True, we don't get too warm - but it would be nice not to shiver all summer, like this year - it was pretending to be Seattle from May to September.
yay I finally have 50 words. haha, I get all excited about this
But there is no climate change........
I was in Florida most of this summer.. it was too hot most of the time to enjoy anything.
come to Texas. Mom2~
We have had relatively mild winters over the past two years, so we are due for a doozy!
No way Cassi... I hate the heat. And I really hate the humidity.
:0) my best temp is 85... I am in a great place
my husband was once stuck in Nashville for two days because they had 2" of snow... no plows, no shovels... LOL!
85 without humidity is lovely.
I spent 6 miserable months in San Antonio from June thru december - was told it wasn't as hot as people thought it was...it was!
Finally found that st7 monster that I never remember! Fireworks!
My people don't do well in the heat... I always say that, LOL... I am of Irish descent... we like it overcast and rainy. My cousin moved to Seattle... he is always telling me how it is perfect weather for us!
How about a clue for that st7 monster, Helen?
i melt when it gets over 80f
Good luck all - don't freeze or get smushed in traffic anybody.
I came to this misbegotten town from Long Island NY. I feel like I am still there. Humidity, weird temp up & down the works
thanks!
I can agree San Antonio can be miserable, I lived there and hated it.
it's like hollywood starlet, but change the first vowel.
Well, all you can really do about the weather is complain about it, right?
my brother tried san antonio and hated it
I have an Irish friend FROM Seattle that gets excited when it gets cold here.
now you clue it after I spent 1/2 hr monkeying it! :D
my issue with SA wasn't the weather though, I had bad luck with people.
Nothing much to like about there Crossy - and hi
Yeah... like I said, "My people" don't like the heat.
70f with a bit of sun and a little breeze is perfect for me
Thanks, Helen!
SA is 60-70% hispanic. Had an Hispanic mayor when I was there. People try to ignore ir. Doesn't exist. They also still think it is the 50's. Women are always called by their HUSBANDS name. WAAAAAAAAAy backward for today.
Texas in general can be kinda traditional. But yea, I know what you are talking about. Austin is the Texas version of LA.
Right now it is 51 here... very nice, actually.
they have hundreds of hospitals and churches and ONE supermarket! HEB. H. E. Butt owns the town! I shopped in bodegas. Better food and way better prices!
I just had to pop out for a minute and make a meatloaf sandwich.... yum!
was the heat that made my brother leave,not what the population type was
I'm sitting yakking and I still need pe7/32 to finish
I have to admit I like HEB. they also have walmart
I was thinking of you the other day crossy... actually made canadian bacon.
HEB is over-priced. WalMart where?
lol,bacon goodness for all;0
I would not care if I ever stepped into another WalMart in my life, LOL.
walmart in SA and Austin (SA there is one a few minutes from where I lived at I10 and 1604)
we avoid the one wal-mart here like the plague.no sense having all the local mom and pop stores go out of business
I thought the food in Florida was expensive... Publix or WalMart are the only games in town. And I just could not bring myself to eat meat purchased from WalMart... LOL.
My BF and I were having a discussion about walmart and how in TX it is a "nicer" store and in Cali it is treated like a flea market
and thier hiring practices are a tad suspect...
I am a union member and am absolutely apalled when one of my coworkers mentions shopping at WalMart!
everyone is either under 18,over 70,or looks like they crossed the border in a boat 3 a.m that morning
I will not step foot in one if I do not absolutely have to.
I have bought meat there but you have to know meat. It was disconcerting to see pink blobs wrapped in plastic.
Hey, I am fresh out of college and can't afford anything. If another store could touch their prices, I would LOVE to shop there... until then...
Read Barbara Ehrenreich's book.... "Nickeled and Dimed in America"... the chapter on Walmart says it all.
im trying to buy lore locally made products,not stuff made in china,bolivia or pakistan in sweat shops
They basically hire people and give them hours just short of what would qualify them for benefits.
mom - it fills a need.
and 1 day before 3 months,they lay them off and rehire them next week
Not many ways to do that around here, crossy... but I respect that.
Yes Crossy, that they do!
everyone does that! But with Wally world they make a big deal
Yes Hoot... their needs... not the needs of their workers.
that way you have no rights as an employee
mom- Walmart is not the only place that does that... there are lots of places that hire for 29 hrs a week.
better than being unemployeed
Where I work we are eligible for benefits at 20 hours a week.
Union, though.
Texas is not one to fight for the workers...
You know Cassi... I swear things are not nearly as bad as companies are making them out to be.
Well, TX and CA, and other border states don't really need "cheap" labor, do they?
you know they really are not doing anything other companies do. I was "laid off" 2 years before retirement age with 2 weeks severance after 19 yrs. Bottom line always wins!
I work at a staffing company and it sucks because I see each and every way a company can screw over the person they are hiring and I can't do anything about it.
can I just stand up for Walmart a bit? (kind of)
Of course...
only kind of, don't worry
I came to the conclusion that Texas has so many, many colleges and universities because they don't what their kids learning what the real world is like.
they took over an English supermarket called Asda a few years ago, basically to take over their brilliant cheap clothing ranges. So any George clothes in Walmart are good quality, cheap, and British based :)
I spent the better part of my life working in restaurants, where they get to pay you less than minimum wage...
Well that is good to know Ata... made in the UK?
tipping is a pox on restaurants
yea, but they still provide a decent education.
la 7/32 please
a lot are, Asda does have fairly good ethical standards. for a supermarket.
Yea, restaurants in TX minimum wage is STILL $2.13/hr
And in reastaurants.... really NO job security at all, particularly privately owned.... at least where I work now there is some protection for the worker.
Only what they want learned.
Keep in mind I just (may/09) graduated from the University of Texas at Austin--I thought they did a pretty good job. I laughed at some of the "ethics" courses.. but overall pretty good.
The problem with the tipping thing is that if you removed it no one would ever do the work! At least when you are tipped you go home with cash and you really can make a decent hourly wage, depending on where you work.
I averaged $13/hr waitressing (did it for 3 years)
I averaged more than that, but I was juust sooooo sick of doing it. I do miss the cash, though.
And the hours stink, too.
well, I worked at a hamburger restaurant (Red Robin). They fired me for reading a book on the clock while I had no tables.
I guess you could say we have 4 supermarkeys here. Kroger, schnucks, Piggley Wiggley and walmarts neighborhood markets. Kroger, PigWig and walmart are trying to keep prices under control because of the recession. Schnucks is not.
LOL...how dare you be a literate employee!
I worked at a chain restaurant for 17 years... suited its purposes... but really fraught with idiocy.
All are bringing in lower quality food and charging regular prices. I'd rather have the better quality and at least be able to eat the food!
yea, Sean (BF) and I would like to open a restaurant that pays minimum (standard 7....) per hour + tips.
why keep the tips?
move over here then!
I got fired from my last restaurant job... fine dining... because they accused me of stealing $80 from the buspeople... LOL! I was like, you people are smoking crack!
Cassi... there is one in California that I know of that does not allow tipping... but they pay a lot more than $7/hour.
they might have been, crack is popular in restaurant staff...
What galled me was when the restaurant owners decided the wait persons had to pool tips and the house got a cut!
That is illegal hoot.
It really came down to the fact that they promoted one of the wait staff to management and she was threatened by me, as I can spell... swear to God it irked her that I could spell.
and who does that stop?
is it? I know of several places that work like that
Well, if the wait staff reported this to a state regulatory agency... basically what the owners were doing was taking "tax-free" money...
let me apologise on behalf of all english people that invariably don't understand that tips are essentiall for wait staff over there!
I believe you mom. The signs I've seen in some stores make you wonder how they got the job!
Ata... it is supposed to engender better service.
haha! it's okay. Most people who didn't know seemed to ask.
lol,i worked in the tourist resort/ski condo business for a year, and ill tell you they dont get that weathy by tipping
and I still need the pe7
it's just not the same over here, most palces give minimum wage + tips so it doesn't occur to a lot of people that tips are *important*
We were a 4 star restaurant... many of our menu items had french names, italian names, etc... she was redoing the menu and I just shook my head!
in some places it is illegal not to tip though. I heard of a couple that got arrested for not tipping
OMG... being stiffed is a part of the game Cassi... it is not illegal in NJ NOT to tip... it is illegal not to pay your bill, though... the house always wins!
Sonic Drive in is the same way! I got paid 2.13 there...
the ye4 that's not an animal or an affirmative? trade you the pe7 = muscle beginning nd chemical suffix
OMG... I never knew to tip Sonic employees. Swear to God... now I feel terrible.
2.13..omg. a job i had in 1980 paid 3.25 as min wage
mom- I don't know where it was, I think it was a group where the gratuity was included so they were classified as "not paying bill" but they really just didn't do gratuity
I ate a restaurant once w/6 others. We were the only customers. We had to wait for waiter. Wair for food and longer for bill. They weren't even on the floor! So we left a small tip to show our displeasure and walked out. They came running out of whereever then to follow us to the car. Food wasn't too good either.
pe 7/36: abbrev for chest muscle + salt to ***t*
hoot... that's terrible. I was an excellent waitress... but always knew when I slacked off... most wait staff does.. you know when you deserve a bad tip.
yea, I def had those days...
I NEVER EVER commented on a tip to a customer, EVER. It is beneath me.
that's the pe I have = your ye needs another cons
I don't think I did, but there were times I wanted to walk to the door and give it back and say "obviously you need this worse than I do"
And over the years I had customers who I got to know rather well and my like or dislike of them was really not related to what kind of tipper they were.
it is unfortunate when your favorite regular didn't tip well.
Oh, Cassi... OK to think it... but to do it is just demeaning to you.
Yes, but that happens. The next person makes up for it. That's what I learned.
I always tip well unless it's bad service or bad food. Known too many watresses
Me, too Hoot.
And regulars may be retirees or the like on a limited income
me too. I am an extremist sometimes, I am not afraid to talk to management if everything sucked
I recently had a waitress literally "throw" my sandwich across the table... I was like, "Wow, bad day?" and then she ended up being nice the rest of the meal.
c t
t
And listen, sometimes the customer is an idiot... best to just leave those people to their own devices... I recently had a customer at my current job who wanted me to write a novel on a 5" cake... it would have been like writing on a grain of rice.... and yet, she just would not believe me that I could not do it.
sorry for that. just finally got to try babble expert... what fun!
And I really hate getting a manager because it is like admitting defeat, LOL... but I had to call someone in this woman's case... I actually saw the manager just walk away from her while rolling his eyes and throwing up his hands.
should have brought her a pencil and a piece of paper and had her try it on a 5" circle
After the manager left she was still standing with the cake in her hand, so I brought out a Happy Birthday pick and gave it to her... that seemed somehow to satisfy her... it was kind of sad and funny at the same time.
Basically she wanted this $7 tiny little cake to say it all!
she had the best of intentions I am sure!
I love it when I get a cake and it's misspelled :)
But at least it makes for a good story, LOL!
Finally! Firebirds!
true true! I actually think it's funny. :)
sl
OMG... funniest story EVER about a cake... my friend was having a birthday party for her two children... we ordered the cake from the bakery dept. of a local supermarket (not the one I work at)... we chose Picture #240 from the book for the top of the cake... when we went to pick it up it was a white cake and had "Picture #240" written on it. I nearly peed in my pants!
Time to do some housework Got to get ready for the holidays! BBl
Hve fun hoot!
LMAO, that is awesome Mom-
I literally just Burst Out Laughing when I saw it! And not in a mean way, there was just something so childlike about its literalness!
And they were extremely nice. They fixed it and we moved on, but now we have this great cake story!
did you get a pic of it?
My friend has a son named Jeffrey... I think for at least 5 out of his 10 birthdays he has gotten a cake that said Happy Birthday Jefferey... LOL.
well, I reaaaaally need to get some work done. My productiveness has gone down since I discovered Babble
Ata...no, did not even think to do it... we were so busy laughing and being flabbergasted.
Cassi... the downside of Babble!
OK.. I have only found 5 words so far and have to do some housework here myself... bbl... it was great chatting with you all today!
*poof*

st7? I think I know the first 5 letter
One vowel different from yesterday's aspiring actress in Hollywood.
TY, Haz! I almost tried and then thought, "No way that is a word."
TY Haz, hi
You should know by now, expect the unexpected with enable! Hello all, hello lynxxx!
Hi Haz
I am stuck on sa's for now
Hello, hego.
Uh, i forgot the actress of yesterday.
Evening all.....Haz sorry about yesterday, I was called away from keyboard and looked as tho' I was ignoring you.....I wasn't...and yes of course he's the most perfect baby in the world....just look who his granny is...lolol
actress = rhymes with Miss Sc***** of the game CLue
Not a particular actress, more a type of actress who wants fame. Or, use first letters of the back of the boat, then a word of permission (three letters)
Hi Flask--congrats!
You'll get them Scrabs, not too hard.
Thanks Scrabbler!
One sa to go, a 5
Hello, Flask - no, I knew you were probably called away, don't worry. I knew you'd be besotted with your little grandson, it's the law of the universe!
What's his name, Flask?
Aha, Haz, now I remember. tx
No problem, hego.
I got to hold him today for the first time....and I just wanted to eat him all up.....he's sooooo gorgeous!
Alexander John MacLean....
What a lovely name!
There's no mistaking his Scottish roots, that's for sure.
Iain, my son picked it!
He's lovely Flask, lucky you. An impressive name too, lots to live up to
Flask, are you the mother of Jean & Iain?
It's a fine name and I'm sure he'll grow up to be worthy of it. But just for the minute, rejoice in his tininess. It's the little fingernails that always amaze me and the creases in their hand and toes.
I think its a very strong name!
No Lynxxx am not, sorry!
Haz, thats what we were looking at today, Iain was changing his nappy and I pointed out the loose skin still round his knees.....and he has such long fingers!
I know, it's just so incredible to see the detail.
He's still under 5lbs. but growing....
Great name, Flask! Is he a premie?
BBL there's a farmers market nearby so am going to top up on some veges
I can't see his pic on here...I still have the three bears!
Bye Lynxxx
We can see it, Flask.
Hooray. s's slammed!
first sa5 please?
Bye, lynxx.
sa5 - add the vegetable letter to the sa4/4 preceding.
Yes Scrabbler......he was almost 8 wks early and only 4lb 10oz.
same as the 4 before it + one more cons
so why is mine not changing?
THAT vegetable letter! Odd word.
Goodness, that must have been early excitement for you, mixed up with worry as well. I'm glad he's here and doing well.
uhoh Haz is about to go ...
I'm assuming you've refreshed numerous times, Flask?
No, I'm not! (Starts up stirring chorus of 'We shall not, we shall not be moved)
Haz it was dreadful for the first 12 hrs.....then slowly it got better.......
I can imagine, heart in mouth time.
oooo!!
I have refreshed about 25 million times....lolol nothings working!!
And you've kicked the computer?
That's happened to me.
Next stop....is out the window!!!!!
Watch out below!
Veeeerrryy frustrating!
Haz? Do you have any advice on some cake / something I could cook using mincemeat that isn't a mince pie?
Hmph!!!....tell me about it!!!!
Not off the top of my head, but if you google mincemeat, maybe some of the recipe websites will come up with something.
clue for hi6/24 please?
Or else be experimental and mix it in with a plain sponge/madeira type mixture and see what happens.
I'm not very good at experimental lol
hi6/24 - hi plus a backwards word for someone having difficulty in walking.
Maybe better stick to what the websites say, in that case.
hummm
Hi Ata
My horse has a stone in its foot. It is ****.
hi Scrabs! hi bunnies!
ty
You're welcome.
got it!..at last...thanx!
You're welcome.
BBC website has a recipe for a mincemeat cake, and so does Delia. I trust Delia.
me too. ty!
None of that awful Nigella pouting with Delia.
and lucious sensual flinging of hair
Yes, but her husband won't eat her food. That gives me great satisfaction.
*mumbling about silly re words--some are accepted, others are not*
Fun,fun, Scrabs. Not!
ol8 please
oh yes. that's so funny
what a difference between husbands
olame
oops
sorry
ol plus the springtime Christian celebration.
oh gosh, I'm stupid. I've been thinking that was a phantom all day!
I know, her poor first husband ended up not being able to eat her food although I'm sure he would have loved to indulge.
John Diamond was amazing
He was, he was affected so cruelly.
and then she swans off with Saatchi. Did her taste die with John?
It's impossible to know, he is so private that you can't get any sense of what he is like. The little you do know doesn't paint a very endearing picture.
8 left, pe's and pi's
the funniest thing on the art series is that you see him from the back, shadowed, just for a second
sorry haz not getting it
A real eminence grise.
The springtime Christian celebration begins in one direction...
And it's not north.
sorry i am not christian lol
ohhhh ok
dahhhh
i'm feeling really dumb about now
We'll tell no-one. Ata's been thinking it's a phantom all day.
lol
hi all
The te's are avoiding me. They're mad that I slammed the s's!
hi
Hi nrkii
Well, it's coming up to 10 on a Friday night and that usually means some crimes need to be solved. Those Law and Order people require my supervision.
Hello, nrkii.
it's one of those days ...
Hi nrkii
does Spangle help?
I am a huge L + O fan, esp SVU
I'm wondering how I have 29 words still left to find, and then I remember... The P's are kicking my butt
my favorite L&O is Criminal Intent
My last 6 are p's--monkey is working furiously
go scrabs!!
No, she usually snores through it. They're always well made and keep you engrossed to the end.
she's too intellectual to bother
She could easily sniff out the criminals.
Okay, off I go. See you tomorrow!
scrab pa7 like po7
i just got it

and then add a cons
hi dorens
hi
hi dorens
hi nrk and jmc and joanne
well, i tried out babble expert at work today. oh my goodness!
help with st7 pls
sorry don't have
Placed another order for Xmas gifts...5 to go...very niec, huh, Doren?
st7 -- the st5 - last cons + allow
st7 - small silver???
i don't know how i can live without it now. Can't believe how much time it saved
thanks, got it
it iws wonderful , Dorens. was without it for many months.
dorens, how did it save time?
ty for the st
peri, i've b een without it my whole life
Yes, Doren---simplifies Babble, list, chatting...
nrk, i think i got about 170 words in about half an hour. i'm sure it wasn't much more than that
but what was different from how you were doing it before?
put in word once, it ended up in babble list and lickety's list at same time.. never really looked at my word list, once i opened it, just looked at lickety's and the words came lickety split quick!
did you have the list open the whole time?
nrkii, you have access to the first two letters of each word and a ressource tab. makes things go much faster
lousy typing, but I am tired
just about.. wanted to see how it worked, and didn't have much free time at work. since i have mac at home, i can't use it here
but if you don't like to use the list until you're almost done, you can hide it, right?
yes, you can. I don't start with the list open
you can block out the list and chat if you want to
yes, at first i just entered the words in the babble part and every so often imported them to the lickety part, then I found out there is a window in which you can put them once and they go both places automatically... big time saver, and sometimes i really need that
ladies, when my computer got the virus and had to be cleaned up, I also lsot my babble expert. I cannot reach lickety for a replacement. It says that address in invalid, What is his valid address?

Hello, Stidgmere :-)
Hi zooz... Hope you are doing well in the British Isles.
Yes not bad at all thanks..starting to get colder here now though....how are you keeping?.
We have had two days of freezing nights and pretty cold days. The fireplace has added a cheerful warmth and light to our living room.
In miss open fire places, all we have is central heating now..which is just not the same.
i*
Our fireplace has a metal insert which keeps the heat better and is less polluting. On days with inversion layers we don't burn at all. We have electric wall heaters which are the type seen in England.
can anybody clue the H?
hi + letter + shopping ***l
tx zooz - now at least half done on every tile
yw Dan
ok time for bed, happy babbling all.

hi Kris
hi lynxx, and thanks - I didn't have the story :)
what color
zachman, do you have a blue-green color that starts with t?
torqose
Kris's clue means its also an anagram of the color or duck too
r u a boy?

oops - lost zachman.
this is why I lurk. when I "talk" I put my foot in my mouth...

Have 9 7's - only 2 are in common usage
anyone have the U? i am on a mission to find all the single words first
up4.6
oh joy - thanks lynxx - maybe I'll get food to fortify myself
OMG is that really a word? we use it jokingly at work to mean useless piece a sh*t
lol, haven't heard that one. It's a tree apparently
my secretary often refers to herself that way when she screws something up
all these strange words make it hard to find the normal ones.

im the same way aknitter,50% before list at least
sa4 here

I have trouble with smackees myself Kris but true peace is found in wanting to and not doing it
cross....pb twice!
darn..crossy trudges off to the pb
then I'm on my way, jmc - yippee!
want some goodies, cross?
trying to see what words crossy used
crossy runs back to see what words he said....
although Jimmy Carter and Willie Nelson say the thought is as bad as the word
but we all have to start somewhere
sa4 and le5, aknit
recognizing the desire to smack is probably the first step
got 'em ty
or is it recognizing our powerlessness over the desire to smack?
Hey Babblers :)
lol no i think a lot of people recognize teh desire to smack and then do it
hi aussie
Hey jmc :)
I would say it is recognizing the power not to act on the desire
Hi Aussieme - how are you?
I am good Kris, you ?
Yes, jmc - it helps me to recognize the space between stimulus and response
hi Aussie
Aussime - glad it's Friday and discussing peace with jmc, our resident expert
Hey Lynx....

It's turned Saturday here now.... :)
we are in big trouble in Babbleland if I am the resident expert!

I need 19 more words and am giving up. Too timeconsuming without lickety
why no Lickey, inge? I'm using Lickey
oh, you know what I mean
My computer had a viral infection, had to be cleaned, adn babble expert is gone. I asked lickety for a replacement.
I'm using the old fashioned way: open from the link, into another windwo
window
hm - do you spose bad typing makes it harder to finish the grid? Or easier?
*yawns* evening everyone. Just got in. How is everyone?
Hi Nancy Boy
Evening, KrisE :) I've been gone for a few months...think everyone's forgotten me!
I don't think I've met you. Hello!
Brilliant! Hi :D it always baffles me that I can be talking to someone in the USA whilst sitting here in england. how are you?
Good, and you? What time is it there?
hi all... not here for long, just dipping in a bit :)
Hi Fishbulb
oooh, just about twenty past one in the morning. So the night is young ;) and I'm great thanks, though been visiting some relatives in Korea so suffering a bit of internet withdrawal! can't imagine how anyone lives without wikipedia..
LoL Nancy Boy
clue for pe 4/8?
hi everyone!
p + santa's helper
hi lb!
hi ibd!
thank you Shirlockc!
Hey ibd :)
Hi Kris, Jen,Nancyboy! it's been forever!
I think I'm listening to Lucille Ball singing We Need a Little Christmas. Did she do Mame?
Lucy did do Mame.
Oh I know! I could have vacuumed my whole country in the time I've been away, but selfishly I've been travelling instead
Pandora!
you travel bug! where? you have to tell me, cuz i live vicariously. i haven't left my valley in two years! (not from want.)
2 words left...
go kris!
clue for last word? as 6/21?
as + sea bird
LOL Ibd!! well, it was a weird journey. On a tipsy evening, a friend of mine accidentally bought tickets to amsterdam, and from there we went on a crazy trip over this crazy continent. And then I went to korea to visit the extended family and chill out a bit :) been an awesome few months! but we're all half-starved and exhausted now
I have that one, lb - toward the back of the boat?
need one between "in a boat on the water" and the flower
a + slippery sl***, becareful not to slide down it.
thank you! yay! firewords!
NancyB, that sounds like so much fun, so seredipitous! ahh to be young and carefree.
whoooo hoooooo KRIS!!
thanks Ibd :D it was incredible, though I have absolutely no money left at all now, and have to keep looking at the pictures to remind myself where I went ;) behaving disgracefully abroad...feel we brits have some kind of expectation to fill, being a nation of binge-drinkers and all
way to go, Kris :D
thanks everyone
ahh, now you have to be responsible again. not to mention dry out a bit! ;-)
May I please have some help with the Pi 6's and 7?
...or pi and 7's as it were!
pi+ fall flower, and British spelling
exactly :) but I'll try to do it with some degree of good grace! but, don't let me talk about myself or I'll do it all evening. How are you? :)
pi6 looks to rhyme with another flower - roses are red and pi5s are blue
Thank you all!
Car, your picture is adorable!
but of course, it *doesn't* rhyme with the flower (just clicked the ?)
I second that adorable
any other clues before I head off?
been busy baking holiday goodies. had my work hours cut back drastically. don't go back to work til next saturday, and then only for 4 hours.
Hi Everyone TGIF!
Hi DR
toes always go in first! Hi DR
I am here for about15 minutes before I need to start dinner
what's for din?
ooh, holiday goodies sound fantastic. we're all very hungry because cigarette money has been more important than food money. What kind of goodies are they? Smothered in sugar and chocolate I hope..
Hi Kris, Dawger, NancyBoy, Car ... lurkers
what's the pi7 that doesn't rhyme with catastrophe?
Spaghetti and garlic bread
they both rhyme with catastrophe
flip the last 2 letters, Shirl
transpose last two letters shirl
thx guys
hi, Dr :)
ok - hubby is home and will want the 'puter. Enjoy, everyone! All the 7s are clued in the chog...:)
*poof*
NancyB, of course all goodies are filled with sugar. Haven't started the chocolate goodies yet. just made gingerbread people, pecan mini pies, cream cheese sugar cookies and shortbread
bye, Kris
Bye Kris
You also just made a new best friend. That sounds almost unbearably fantastic...
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
Hi Min! welcome to the grid, how are you this evening?
I am well,but exhausted after a very busy work week
My hubz has been sampling the goodies, and i had him take some to his work for a taste test. new gingerbread recipe, that just didn't taste right to me.
time to put your feet up and kick back and rest up, Min
You've put me in a daze of confusion, trying to decide what I want more: gingerbread or sleep. What was the verdict from hubby's colleagues?
I took a 30 minute nap at 7:00,but I'm still exhausted
they thought the first test was good. they obviously never had real gingerbread men! sheesh. but they also like the second batch. so who knows...
sl6/24 after roof material?
you need to take a warm bath with some lavender, Min.
add the sometimes vowel, Shirl
The sl6/24 is sl5/10 plus a sometimes vowel Shirlockc.
duh, thx lbd
Right, coming up to 2AM...better pop off to bed. Night and good luck, everyone! x
how many words are there?
hello all -- fireworks

i snuck off to have some wensleydale with tart cherries
that cheese is soooooo good

Hello everyone. I have an icon clue if you need it.
hi bugs
bugs -- your icon clue and mine differ by one letter :)
Hello Bugsaw!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
I jilli. I was just checking on yours. I did not know that word!
Hi MIn. I hope you are having fun.
Hi Bugs!
and Min and Jilli and Welcome Suki
Live and learn, eh bugs?
HI DR. How is your day going?
I knew the word but not what it was
I had abeautiful day Bugs! Ditched work and went on the motocycle with hubby up the coast
I loved horses as a girl but not everyone does so I thot it might help
His birthday is Sunday and it has a zero at the end of it
Oh DR I am so envious!
I know yours from the dog world, bugs
we really needed some us time
SO glad you could take some time for each other. I made that mistake on my first marriage and I won't make it again!
What fun, DR!
decade changes are big ones
we drove thru the little coast towns and stopped in Encinitas for lunch then came back
yes, this is the " mid life" one 50!
Doesn't Jake have an aunt or uncle who would take him for an overnight trip while you two had one yourselves?
going to change icons -- nobody used this one anyway as far as I know
oooh, DR. sounds like a perfect day for the two of you.
I did jilli! lol
My Mom and or older brother do take him on occasion.
E's Eliminated! 6 left
so all you need to do is ask them DR. Make a weekend of it
go Min!
yes it was perfect! I made it home in time to get a manicure and hubby and Jake went to their bowling league
The next icon theme is Sinterklaas in the Netherlands, suggested by our dear Sprite, so let's go with it!
don't know anything about him jilli so it should be fun. I just have 89 more words to finish first
i
go Bugs!
hi everyone!
hi red!
how are we?
I'm doing well. and yourself?
good, rained all day long!
Hi redturtlehead! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
it's snowing off and on here.
wow, it apparently snowed in Houston too!!!
hi minver!
weird weather!
So far the grid seems dare I say it, Pleasant?
it's not too bad, til you hit the p's
well, there are a lot of P's
The P's are a Pain!
I need 17 more, but then again, I only have 68 so far.
watching the last Monk!!!
lol, red
ahhh suddenly now things are really slowing...
Lots of weird words as usual
No clues needed?
I just started, have only 90 words... still enjoying MOnk. But if you want to clue, I will accept them... I just dont know what I need.
And neither do I!
Enjoy Monk, red
Just sneaking out of the kitchen to say Hi to Red
its the very last one, so a nail biter, I hope he doesnt die...
dont tell Red - I am going to watch in 2+ hours
Ok, I will not tell...definitely need to watch it.
Absolutely !
BRB _ microwave
evening all...
hi pini
hi Pinik!
Hi Pini
how's it going?
going well, how are you feeling tonight?
much better, thank you...
went to work for about 6 hours and hit the grocery store on the way home so I have "stuff" and don't have to worry about overdoing it this weekend...
good for you, you need to rest!
* big grin *
Good to hear you feel better, pini :)
thx, jilli...how are you coming along?
I'm sick of coughing! Had to go to town and get a haircut and a few groceries etc, but will stay home over the weekend and hope it all goes away.
oh dear, Jilli. I didn't know you had the crud too! Take care and stay warm!
lbd, this is a really strange ailment -- no sniffles but lots of coughing, no appetite, achy, no fever but chills a while ago.
Lots of fatigue too.
it sounds horrible, Jilli. pneumonia can act that way.
wow, jilli...your's is different than mine! and it sounds like you got the short end of the stick...I got fever, aches, and headache...
no coughing :|
Oh Wow, Monk fans have got to watch....the end is great. you have got to watch.
gosh, I hope it goes away soon, jilli!
Hmmmm. Well, if it doesn't go away soon I'll see the doc, but he's new to me and doesn't seem to care.
you tell him to make you feel better or he'll have half the north american continent after his behind!
LOL lbd!!!
no kidding, jilli...* standing sternly next to lbd *
and when Stid hears about it! all hell will have to be paid to hold her wrath back!
ROFL!
I think that would be considered an understatement!
she'll come up there and whack him with her pink cane!
He's a great big teddy-bear type
and the resulting sight won't be pretty!
then he better put on his best bedside manner and get to doctoring you up! *looks at all her whippin' sticks to see which is the sturdiest*
* gassing up rig to provide transportation for the "enforcers" *
Trouble is with things like this there's not much to do.
alll right! road trip to secure healthcare for Jilli!
* giggle *
Silly peeps!
whereabouts are you lbd?
respiratory can turn so quickly tho, jilli. Don't let him pass you off as some pita!
(have to look at map to plan trip accordingly)
I'm 60 miles south of Canadian Border.
in WA?
Do you all have your passports?
I have to renew mine ;)
oh drat, forgot about passports. mine's a bit expired.
And how many miles east of Vancouver Island, lbd?

hi jes
heheh. jilli, go to youtube and search for storm by Tim Minchin, it's quite amusing
ok, jes, doing that
Fabulous!!!
i love that poem :)
I wish my friend had a computer but she's a Luddite.
pretty sure it's in a book
you could print it and mail it :)
I'll Google and see
Of course, part of it is how he reads it
true, true. but even just taking the line about what do we call alternativ medicine that's proven to work? medicine!
I found it and have copied it to Word Pad so I can print it out. Thanks!
welcome :) you might also refer her to the BadScience column by Dr Ben Goldacre; he publishes online (badscience.com) and also in a british paper, maybe the guardian?
The strange thing about this woman is that she was a med student at one time. She's no spring chicken.
As I said, she has no computer.
hi all...back (better late than never)
hi again pini!

pi6 rhymes with purple flower
or is there another fall flower?
pi6 is like a little purple flower but with a P to start

welcome :)
pe7/32 -- add the beginning of the fall flower to the previous word
plane flyer = pilot -- how does that work?
anagram of that, jilli
i dunno, but it clicked in my brain, and sometimes pini's brain is broken similarly to mine...

oh -- you were talking about pi6
ROFL!!!!!
so did you get the pi7?

hahah. yes, the pi6 and the pe7, were you combining to clue the pi7? :)

* nods * I believe so
yup, just found the pe, thanks!

hi stid!
no, jes -- the pi7 has nothing to do with the pi6
