thanks jilli, will print it out
I just squish it sideways and move it over the Lickety spot
must check email -- back in a bit
smart move jilli
this one isn't nearly as difficult as other recent ones
I've almost given up a couple of times lately!
but then, come flip time, I just have to have a look and I'm in!
i didn't finish the one from i think sunday night
first one i haven't finished in a long time
I didn't finish the two biggies before today's -- very discouraging
I don't know how players managed before Lickety posted his lists
they were tough and worse with no Lickety
I bet
am sure I would not have lasted
apparently they often didn't finish
I must start to allow a certain amount of time, and stop at that
can be too time consuming
can i please have a clue
eman, you'll find a list of clues in Babblers Anonymous, in the "Friends of Babble below the grid
it gives the first 2 letters of words and the number of letters in the word
along with the total point count for the word
flosey, eman is not serious
eman, you know you have to be specific
oh, thanks jilli
can i please have a clue for an eight letter word
is anyone going to answer
Hi, eman
8's are en 8/75 and no 8/50
hi, catie
Did anyone else get the wrong clue list. I tried to refresh but I have a much longer list and am not finding many of the words.
hi rumplestiltskin, that's yesterday's list
no list in lickety's, have to use the one in Babbler's Anonymous
rumple -- Lickety's list for this grid is not up. There is one in Babanon
Lickety posted it sometime today apparently
Man, I thought I was losing my mind. Thanks.
hi rbud and catie and rumple
lol
hi, jilli, thanks for all the help you've been giving
hi, jilli, I've been in and out since a little after flip time
flip happens at 5.00pm here in the summer so I'm having to leave all the time to feed the birds and cats
I'm off to bed, goodnight all
nite, flosey!

goodnight flosey - Merry Christmas if I don't see you before then

en7 - someone who is having fun.
thanks
eman, you've been told several times to be specific about clues, and told to go to the Help and to Angelsong's Babble Page (see below).
There is also a list of clues in Babblers Anonymous below. Right-click on it and open in a new window.
I'm off to bed now -- night all!
hi everyone
night, jilli!
goodnight jilli, hi berri
hi catie
the previous puzzle seemed much easier
can you please give me the third letter of the in7 letter catie!?
thats because there were more words berri
???
please help me with the in seven letter word
hi atalante
does anyone know if lickety is doing clues today?
the in 7 i have is ins....
Nobody knows except LIckety.
probably not even lickety knows
How many words today please
145
145
Good morning/evening, by the way.
hey, haz can i please have a clue on a six letter word
Thanks
good morning too
Sorry, eman, not able.
you could give him a si6 :D
atalante do you have some clues on some six letter words
I don't want to encourage...
true true, wise as ever
Of course, there are different types.
I haven't read back but I've got the vibe.
I have a grumpy dog
Purple collar stolen?
Bed shifted to a wrong place?
Paws refusing to be arranged properly?
Change of food?
Cut paw?
Forced to sleep in a kennel?
all of the above and more!
only a 20 minute walk this morning!
another visit to the vet to sort out her poorly tail scheduled!
Made to dance in the street to earn money for Christmas?
A 20 minute walk? What unique form of cruelty is that?
that too
twice a day
So much worse than anything I could think of.
I know. She's gone off to sulk
I can feel the sulking vibes from here
Is this by order of the vet? Has she hurt something?
Has she turned her head to the wall?
she's got her head down between her paws and is looking at my back accusingly
no, it's called it being blooming cold and her owner being a wimp!
Could you not pretend to make a phone call to the vet and have a conversation along the lines of 'You really mean it? For the sake of Hobbit's health she must only have a 20 minute walk in this cold? I will comply but with heavy heart' She'll know every word and pardon you.
i have a lickety list or 22nd dec
oops for
can some pleaase give me clues for the six letter words!
I've just looked but I think it was for a previous grid.
she won't! she's far too clever to fall for that!
When it was Dec 21 here it was the 22nd in Australia -- it was for the last grid. There's a list in BabAnon
And your vibes were correct
Maybe YOU should develop a limp, Ata. Stop suddenly, cry out, seize your leg and look pathetic.
And I'm off again
Hello, jill, I thought so.
ok thank you jillibus
Just popped in hoping that someone would cope
That way, Hobbit will feel sorry for you, she wouldn't dream of imposing a long walk. You need to keep the limp and the moaning going.
We're not feeding, jillibus.
I saw that
The use of the comma in that sentence is important, otherwise it might look as though we're denying sustenance to an esteemed babbler, and that would be cruel.
maybe I should. but she's far too clever for that
LOL!
good luck, ata!
Mind games with dogs - someone should write a book of instructions on how to beat them at their own game.
I hate to leave you but I must get some snoozing in.
it's easy with labradors
Just give them food?
and they'll follow you adoringly for life
Did you see Victoria Wood night on TV last night?
no! but I thought of you when I saw she was on :)
I was rendered helpless by the end of the segment on Acorn Antiques.
And those sketches with Julie Walters! Her writing is so funny, she's a genius.
could just imagine you there with a glass of cooking sheery in helpless fits of laughter
One character in dinnerladies viewed the prospect of a liaison with a Japanese man with dismay 'I don't have the pelvis for a futon'
LMAO
ok figgy is to a word.....oh bring me some figgy puddy oh bring me some figgy, oh bring me some figgy pudding, and bring it right now!
absolutely mel
Oh, I become incoherent, tears streaming down the face, it's not a pretty sight.
I agree, vel, I'm going to open a petition.
does spangle look on in alarm / consternation
and makes you incapable of typing I see!
hmm ok is the word geist that means ghost I think, did I spell it right and it just wont accept it?
She took herself off to the kitchen to avoid the whole thing.
Yes, mel rather than vel. Sorry!
sensible pup
yes, I spelt it right and it wont accept it, or have I just plain lost my mind, lol
Enable is the one with the questionable sanity, mel.
how can figgy not be a word?? It's in a Christmas song!
what's questionable about it's level of sanity?
lol
ok if there are 3 words from that lower left E someone fell and bumped their head on the Chrismas tree stand and it wasnt me lol
en - to take pleasure in, the one(s) who take pleasure
doh thank you
You're welcome.
got 2 from that clue
Get three!
make that 3
A bargain basement clue.
missed the plural the first time lol
just the lowly I upper far right left for NBT, but no clue yet please
You're quite safe, I haven't got it yet.
I have now, thanks for pointing it out!
in7 - not out to sea
ooops sorry, I thought you said clue. duh
~ Throws a fish at Ata ~
fireworks
Poor Ata. First her dog hates her and now mel is throwing fish at her.
Well done, josh!
don't be afraid to double those consonants, ladies and germs
I like fish
grats Haz
We tried doubling consonants in figgy, but enable doesn't like it...
i can clue for a bit if anyone desires
can some please move that "T" closer to the H so I will stop trying to make words with that ending? Thank you
i will do what i can, but make no promises
double the con in the big old pig word and plural it!
just found that one
Boss Ho**!
oh Bullooooney I cry laggy is too a word I say it all the time, as in: My internet is not cooperating and being very laggy lol
PHone
absolutely mel
I have decided that this is quite the onery little grid, lol
can i please have a clue for a six letter word?
why only 6 letter words?
when you change from one gear to another in a manual car it is called to sh*** gears plural it
ive got all eight and seven letter ones
ive got it
ohh

You're welcome.
bleh, Ata there is ho word that rhymes with call the pigg word
And a sticky g one as well.
i have the sticky one, but thank you Haz
oooo yes, ty!
the pig calling still makes me giggle
i love it when words go with other words in the grid like the big pig word and then you can call it too! right out of its go*** sty LOL
and when you smell it, you will probably say ho**** that pig stinks!
Pig is pretty stinky.
ho***, that go*** piggy manure stinks, even
lol and it will make you si** and probably ga** you aw well
as well*
you certainly wouldn't en5 it
haha - just been scrolling back down the chog. who is this 'eman'???
A kind of low level nuisance.
me
perhaps if we planted some ro** bushes around the edge it will make the Sh** smell more pleasant, lol
eman - you're killing me today!
aha, conquered the Ls
just started on them 5/11
yes, i'm having a terrible time with the l's - only have 5 so far as well
11 left!
speeding thru Ata! Hello all

Hello lynxxx - just about to depart, but I'll be back later. I'm going to brave the shops.
I am going to the shops at 6am in the morning, thought I would try and avoid the crowds
finally greyed out that pesky bottom right E
Let us hope that the crowds don't all have the same idea, lynxxx.
Bye for now!

Bound to, mel, bound to. *gone*

did you know there are nettles in Japan that can kill humans?
silken. one more for luck.
Hey NB !!!!
hi NancyBoy
japan must be a bad place, japanese knotweed is a very bad thing to have on your sites
Hi NB :-)
as is Japanese seaweeds around our sh5
death by stinging nettle..you'd be laughed at in heaven
would be a liiittle bit embarrassing
NB, they are nice in heaven it's the other place that would be mocking you! lol
would make for an interesting eulogy (is that how you spell it?)
yep
I really thing figgy should be a word
Here lies Ellie Macbeth, Slipped in the nettles and got stung to death....
the ho4.9 is said to be british spelling, is that true?
LOL
british for a young sheep
and eeyore should be in the dictionary!
read the details :)
should!
ah, didn't read down enough
as in, we all want some figgy pudding? worst christmas song EVER
hey all
I really need to go and do some work, back again later!
what a "joyos" grid! : )
I think anyhoo should be in the grid, while we are on the subject... I say it all the time.
lol kanet !
yep Mom2 I agree
I stepped on Casty earlier so I have the office to myself lol
A case could also be made for anyhore... as in, which lady would you like? Oh, anyhore will do. LOL! I am cracking myself up this morning.
ugh, Katie, work?! what's everyone else up to this morning? I'm watching 10 Years Younger. Barbaric but fascinating
lol mom2 !
I got out of the drive but as it is my last day I have to do loads of work :-(
I am watching Muppet's letters to Santa (with my 3-year-old I might add)
I bet you got to choose what to watch though Aussie lol
poor Casty!
I just finished making the lunches, got my daughter up to shower, and am having my morning java.... lots to do today, but figured I would stop in for a bit. Ten years younger is barbaric, I agree.
oh Aussie, you can watch the muppets without children there at all :D I still find it so funny. I think they slip things in for the adults. I find the swedish chef particularly hilarious
boo.. no 'laggy'
nope, i was flicking through the channels, and we just stopped at the muppets :)
she took it quite well and isn't limping but Rhubarb and Crumble were horrified and have avoided me every since in case I did it out of badness
NB, I have Muppet's Treasure Island :)
I love 10 years younger, not as good as the Swan was but still we can't have everything
OMG... you cannot even go to the mall without being insulted by someone at the pushcarts... you know... your nails are not nice, so please buy their product.. same thing with the hair straightening and face product people... I would NEVER let someone put me in a box and have others guess my age, LOL!
Aussie, I just bought that on DVD after having it on video for years...isn't it MAGICAL :D
it is NB, it is !! I love The Muppets !
If Muppets are involved it is watchable.
I have a 'look' I reserve for anyone trying to sell me beauty products when I am shopping!
I just saw that in Manhattan there is a store where you can make your own Muppet.... I SOOOOO want one!
mana mana do do, do do do do !!
I think 10 Years Younger is great, although I don't see why Nicky Hambleton-Wombleton-Wimbledon-Kingdom- Tinseltown is allowed to be on TV, she is evil
LOL Katie... yeah, I can handle it, but my teenager takes it to heart, poor thing.
That's what makes it so good NB
can i have some six letter word clues now!
I want to make her a sign to wear to the mall that says: I like my hair, skin, nails... so please leave me alone... teenage self-esteem is precarious as it is!
muppet !
Don't salespeople usually use a compliment sandwich? "your eyes are excellent...using our products would illuminate your skin and help them stand out, emphasising their lovely colour," etc
I like how clean is your house as well as I always come away from it thinking what a lovely hygienic house I have
esteem !
please would be nice eman.... polite is as polite does.
PLEASEE!!!!!
polite
colour! please! batman!
Not always Nancy... and here in the US they can be downright rude!
salespeople I come across seem to start with the words "you could do with a little help"
please
pls can i pls have a clue for a siw letter word
LOL Ata!
OMG if I watched How Clean is your House MY self-esteem would be in the toilet!
letter
eman - ho 6/27 like an animal you ride, or a woman with a long face and sticky out teeth.
6
and that is the only one I have lol
LOL katie!
ive got that one
if you get hassled by salespeople, ask if they have tried the products. If they say no, ask why; if they say yes, respond with, "well, they obviously didn't work for you," and gliiiide away
sorry I can be no more help!
Oh that is a good one NB.
hifs
Yes Katie... I find it downright insulting, to be honest. Last week I asked this young woman if she liked her job (at the hair straightening kiosk) and she just kind of looked at me... I was like, you seem like a nice young woman... why would you want to do a job where in order to make a sale you have to point out people's flaws?
sh6, I have to go do a sh5 at work, and I am on my 9th sh5 in a row today, so I have completed 8 sh6 !
10 Years Younger is a bit ag6.24!
Nancy... I wish I had the cajones for that, I don't.
ty ata
oops I meant ty aussie
ty lynxxx
Well, I'm altogether too confident in myself! I find that puts them off. If you walk with a saunter, they slide off you.
lol..... 90 hours work in a row is just too looooong !
however I am really going now as work needs to be done *poof*
bye Katie
bye Katie.
LOL Nancy... mostly they are just kids themselves... if it were an actual adult... then, maybe (evil laugh).
by katie
bye Katie!
I really wanted to take this girl by the hand over to The Gap and have her fill out a job application, LOL!
oh it's fun spending the day designing Daleks
well, got to go myself. Am going to shower before work. Hugs, and Happy Babbling.... **poof**
What is a Dalek????
and LOL, Mom!
Bye Aussie
bye Aussie
bye Aussie
at least take her to a decent shop!
is this a job Ata?
*faints*
LOl Ata!
it's for a commissioned piece of art :)
pls someone tell mom what a Dalek is
I figured the Gap was universal, as it looks like I am one of the only Americans in the room right now, excepting Nan.
Don't take her to A&F though. My friend works there. She has to dance all day.
A Dalek is the archenemy of Dr. Who!!
I would not mind a job where I had to dance all day, LOL!
O know...you heard JB was making an appearance on the new DrW and thought you might get an 'in' if you designed some new dalek costumes?
apparently he's not now ... but TW 4 is ready to go
OMG Lynx I must need more coffee... that still does not help... and I don't know who Dr. W is (assume JB is Jackson Browne, due to my icon).
Yay!
sad sad case :)
O, I get it now... I have seen a few episodes of Dr. Who... must not have paid very close attention, LOL!
:D
I will have to watch more closely... I actually like the episodes I have seen.
Well I know what Gap is, even if we don't have any stores here. I think Mom, you owe it to America to get acquainted with Dr Who (costarring sometimes John Barrowman)
I agree
i did my part as an american watching dr. who back in the day
OK Lynx.... will do.... like I said I have seen a few episodes.
i liked tom baker. only caught 1 ep of the new series. w/ simon pegg as the villain
I never watched the old ones, just the new ones.
its still onBBC America :) and Netflix!
Which is better the original or the new one? Maybe I will Netflix it.
speaking of bbc shows, anyone ever watch 'allo 'allo?
You should watch if you can Kanet. It has matured very well
if you like big special effects, the new ones. the old ones have the same powerful stories, just with cardboard boxes and loo rolls as props
It's weird... sometimes I get BBCAmerica and sometimes I don't... same with SyFy channel... I keep saying I am going to call the cable company to find out why... maybe I will do that today.
but of course Kanet
i'll take a look, lynx. : )
Kanet... I watched that one "back in the day"... it was cute... reminded me of Hogan's Heroes on speed.
got to admit I can't stand Dr Who. Family Guy ANY day
Tom Baker's Dr is probably the easiest to get on with of the old ones
Family Guy can be funny.
mom.. haha! good call
oh please Nancy Boy, that show is gross
Anyone watch The Singing Bee?
can someone pls give me a clue for the o word?
which one???
but so am I Lynx :)
Morning
Family Guy has its moments... love Stewie and Brian.
Morning Mudd
the bottom o
hardly NB
Admit I am not much for the adult animation.
i liked family guy for a bit. it got old. but i enjoyed it longer than i did south park
oo4.5 shock horror
at least Dr Who has John Barrowman who is quite quite beautiful
When you see something spectacular it produces oo** and aa**.
can you wipe the drool off yr chin pls Ata
I could never get into South Park.
aww :(
Who is the guy who is in it now??? Someone Tenant?
David Tennant
for 2 more episodes
He does not do anything for me, LOL... so maybe I will have to watch the ones with this John Barrowman that you speak of.
How's the grid?
See of you can get some Torchwood episodes Mom - stars JB and is offshoot of DrW
OK grid except for last 40/50
i caught one ep of torchwood w/out knowing its origins
it broke my brain. (p.s. see the anagram of torchwood?)
torchwood is the best thing ever
well, nearly
Torchwood is consistently good but I think some of the Dr Who episodes have been brilliant
oh lyn! I found out a wonderful thing the other day
However Torchwood 3 was enthralling!
Good morning/day to all.
hi Scrabs
the sound of the drums is in the last DT episodes. The Master's drum beat continues
hiya scrabs
TW3 was quite incredible. It was the first time I'd cried over a TV programme for years
Kanet--any luck with the job hunt?
yes. if by "luck" you mean "enjoying time w/ friends and family" : )
True, but do they give you $?
oh sure.. focus on the bottom line. ; )
lol kanet
I am practical and a planner.
I phoned up my best friend in America at about 5am her time sobbing about Ianto dying LOL
now Ata, it's only a story - you goose!
I knoooow, but it was sad!
hey scrabs, are you hiring?
((hugs)) for losing TV friend
Nope, Kanet, we have an IT team.
Lifts nose from grid, morning Scrabs
I overdosed on it a bit, watched each night, then the replay 2 hours later when Jess got home, then watched at ALL again on the Saturday with a friend.
hello, I am still trying
oh well, no jobs. i tried. that was tiring. i better relax some. ; )
shone
hi Scrabbs!
hi Ruby
hi ruby
Hi Ruby + Nanette!
I loved it, then got really cross with the whole fandom slagging off the writers and being bitchy to them, so I didn't watch it again for a while
Kanet, that qualified as your job hunt for the day. Now you can have fun on the web all day.
sweet! thanks for the validation, scrabs.
You can check off a box on your daily to-do list..."Job Hunt"
here's the real trouble: wrist pain from years of computering. so chilling on the web is actually doing damage. it's ironic and tragic.
Get ergonomic, Kanet
and the worst part is that i don't think i'm going to go pro. i need to get away from computers as much as possible. but i'm going to finish out my 2 wk trial period.
i like it here. good folks
yeah, i had an ergonomic keyboard & mouse. it's not enough.
anyway.. didn't mean to railroad the conversation w/ my complaints
You can always come here even if you aren't a "pro"
is that carpal tunnel kanet?
well I think I'm going to go down to the farm shop to buy some banana chips so I can kid myself I'm being healthy. back shortly!
oh, i know. but i decided to try for 2 weeks and see. my wrist are hurting more. it's pretty clear.
bye Ata
bye Ata
But the chat is a place where we can all vent and get validation, support, empathy...the plus side to this word game
Bye Ata
not carpal tunnel, lynx. but practically the same thing. a different repetitive stress injury.
ata: go bananas! go, go bananas!
I just confirmed that I do not like this grid. This one is tough!
you're absolutely right, scrabs. having my wrists in constant pain really detracts from a lot of activities. for example, everything online. : p
BBS need to clean up kitchen a bit - have been making Andree's shortbread - a lot! they are great and simple/fast to make
Wear cock-up splints--you can buy the velcro-strap splints at a drug store
noooo lynxxx dont do it! you will make us all look bad
Bye Lynxxx
bye lynx
A show of hands please for all who are enjoying the grid?
not me
MY hand isn't up!
TY for voting, Bo
do you know anyone who has had success with splints? they just seem to make things worse for me. also.. no hand!
TY, Jay
Kanet, you get wrist support but can use your fingers
Voting is done. It's unanimous--grid is not fun. But we shall forge on anyway, right?
i'm at 58. my goal is 73 (halfway)
i've got 39 to go--forging on seems like a major slog
kanet - that is always my goal but only on 21!
I am up to 54
go alleyn!
Hi alleyn
leggy
lean
Bo, I have those
guess my curser was in wrong place??? lol
It happens to all of us--funny actually
Hiya. Have only just begun. and bojazz I had that!
the curser can be a curse?!
poopy grid!
double poopy!
Yes, this is a poopy grid! And at 65/80 I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day all. I shall return late tonight.
bye, scrabs
see you later, scrabbler. I am American, but in France.
bye bye Scrabs
any clue for the rightmost I? (for nbt)
not far out at sea
oh no! lickety's list isn't up yet. ugh
tx, jk! 72 and nbt. 1 more to go
73 and nbt! that's enough for now. later gators!
Thanks Jayk! good to see you too
Hi lynxxx--seemed to be unable to stay away for long! big surprise there
will there BE a lickety list, do you think? because usually it's long since up
kanet are you still here
Apparently Lickety and family are on holidays - unsure when returning. Excellent brain workout for us all
windows I believe xp and up lets you set up speaking into your computer with a mic. I know 7 does because the kids have been playing with it. All you would do is say the letter and not use your hands at all. FYI
yoos is too a word, just go to NYC
oh...and usually some kind soul puts a list on Bab Anon - link under
that is usually our early morning angels
I know off to PB for me.....

Jay la6/21 la + the bridge of s**** is in Venice.
You'r welcome Mom.
well, Frances, you're my new best friend. HAD the singular.
thank you again Frances, and thanks Jayk for asking
That happened to me too Jay. Lol.
2 left and i might as well just beg: the ho 5/20 and the so 5/14. I'm sure they're both incredibly obvious, so Frances...?
the so 5/14 is a way to call a pig
ho5/20 i have pigs with a double cons
thanks Ursh
ho5/12 plural the ho4/9
so5/14 sounds like it should have chop in front.
who knew the ho was a word? I've never called a pig
take the ho word and change the first letter to a s
you've got to be kidding! but no: it works! FW and poof for today

Fireworks!
YAY car!
well done, car
did anyone make a list?
I wish I could have a slow day, Stid!
Anyone need clues before I head out?
yesterday was NOT a slow day car! LOL I am trying to rest up for the next quarter, car -- was sick all last week.
LIckety is up aslindy
is it?
you doing okay car?
I used it to finish!
silly me, I thought that was yesterday's list
I am tired of being tired Stid. Hanging in there though!
(((car))) I wish you could have a spa day. or just a stay-in-bed day. you'll get there.
I just want to sleep...uninterrupted...until I want to wake up.
I like that idea.
sleep sounds good
That and someone to clean my house before Christmas!
hey jmc
you want to borrow my kids for cleaning? They have almost learned what's involved! (still working on the 'what makes a clean bathroom' concept)
LOL Stid! Thank you but no!
OK...I am off! Good day to all!
(((car))) have a lovely day.
You too! {{{stid]]]

Hello, folks
BR-your phantom words always make me laugh! Thank you.

go jmc go!
Hello all, just got my 2nd 8, which pushed me over the halfway mark. Not bad for a start.
wtg mich
go mich go!
i would take a clue for the 8s *flutters eyelashes*
My phantoms are league, lagoon (so far) :-)
en 8 is a plural of people having fun jmc
the en 8 builds from the en5,and 7 then plural.
I don't have the other 8 yet
the other, no8 is not +ag 4, no clue as to its meaning.
ah I didn't think to make en5 into a person
oh -- that is a 9-sided two-dimensional figure mich
and thanks.
ah I needed to pl that no clue!
Why isn't yoos a word, Everybody is South Philly knows it's a word!
LOL mich! what does it mean (since I am not from there?)
Thanks Stid, see why you are getting an advanced degree and I hang out with the drop outs?
I am still trying to understand why you can plural if and but -- but not nor
Why it's the plural of you, of course!
Hi everybody :)
its the plural for you stiddie
oh! LOL thanks!
hi soodle

Hi everyone how is everyone?
Hi red !!
Hey Red! Good, but cold!!
cold here too, but I am just whiney.

Roll on spring !!
I know...I am a wimp.
We have passed the shortest day of the year as of yesterday, so its onwards and upwards now!!
At the moment it is minus 4 degrees in my garden
True Soodle, good attidue.

All of the UK is freezing at the moment, and compacted snow and ice doesnt help.!! Please dont anyone sing *Im dreaming of a White Christmas*
Could somebody please explain the concept of global 'warming' to me again....
LOL red I think we have all tried that!
And me Soodle
Well, I suppose being that it is December, it is supposed to be cold, in this hemisphere. But I am not enjoying it.

I am having trouble trying to find a gift for my nephew
he wants a book on planting churches and well. . . lets just say i am not willing to buy that . . .
how old?
planting churches??!
40+ years old
planting churches?
planting churches????
establishing
OMG Ata... great minds think alike
there is an echo here lol
it's an evangelical thing ata -- ask forwardbyfaith
ahhhhh
aaahhh...I thought, perhaps, you were opposed to horticulture.
why won't you get that for him? because of your own beliefs?
yeah basically ata
well, if you want a book that is religious but that you can still agree with, get him something like "red Letter Christians" by Campolo.... the christian left ; )
I love campolo! what a good idea!
yw
or some CS Lewis
nope mom I garden myself! lol
brb
campolo is evangelical, so meets his criteria, but still socially engaged in a productive way
maybe some chad meyers
did we ever establish how old he is???
Get him The Screwtape Letters
what J am I missing? I have cuppa and baby kanga
a girly donkey
the screwtape letters are hilarious!!!
femal donkey
good thinking -- I was tempted to get the Good Book by gomes but it seemed kinda confrontational
female donkey? hmmmm... assette?
no7 and 8?
ty kje I didnt have those Js but did have the female donkey a diminutive for a girls name
famous ones include je*** McCarthy, Lind,
wouldn't that be assiette? french for "sitting"
ty jmc
not sure they are meant to be hilarious! such a wonderful book though
multi-sided figure(s) shirl
I had no idea that was a female donkey... that is a first for me
but now that I know, I will of course use it mercilessly on any jenny i know
screwtape letters is very funny
Use your power for good KJE, LOL.
so is Twains letters from the earth
Never heard of the screwtape letters.
A Grief Observed then. That's just beautiful
by c.s. lewis, mom
thx jmc!
or "The Four Loves"
ahhh... new one on me...
that is a beautiful book -- maybe i will get that for my sisters who are all still greiving
leis
oops, the cat did that
I loved a Grief Observed when my husband died
For religious fiction... A Prayer for Owen Meany and/or The Poisonwood Bible; John Irving and Barbara Kingsolver, respectively.
surprised nona54 is not a word.... not being prejudiced
obviously a Hawaiian cat
Talented cat
yes, it's an amazing book
only reason to have a cat... to blame things on it
a clue for ag 6/24?
ag6 - hates old people
didn't like the poisonwood bible but she wrote animal vegetable miracle
which I don't, btw
anyone read that one?
not a kingsolver fan
ty kje
*giggle* an invisible Hawaiian cat
yw
I have read all of her stuff... not wild for anything BUT The Poisonwood Bible, LOL. Though she wrote this short story that I always remember about hermit crabs in Arizona. It was part of a collection.
me either kje but it is a book on growing all their own food for a yera
this grid is trickier than it looks
I always read her stuff thinking it is going to get better, but it never does, LOL... but then my mother gave me Poisonwood and I have to admit that I loved it.
She is a little granola crunchy for me.
sucks you in with all the cheery little x-mas words... then wham!
i don't know kje, i have nbt already and am half way
It is kje
I agree mom which is why she was perfect for writing about sustainable agriculture
I am currently reading John Irving's latest... and liking it better than anything he has written in a long while.
My idea of roughing it is if the Hilton is out of mints!
what is it mom?
I knew someone was going to ask me that KJE, hang on while I fetch it...
no mints?!?!?!
LOL
no worries
*faints from the horror*
"Gwor Your Own Drugs" is a wonderful BBC book about growing your own herbs and spices and wonderful healing rememdies
Last Night in Twisted River is the title.
I barely have time for the drug store, let alone growing my own drugs.
that would piss me off, ata - deceptive title! ; )
Also, I cannot even keep a cactus alive. So, we would all be living with our aches and pains, LOL.
LOL KJE!
tis a silly title, but a wonderful wonderful book
I recycle and we are looking at a hybrid for when we buy a new car next year. I do my part, but I am just not that crunchy.
I grow lots of herbs but spices other chinese coriander is beyond my ability
i understand mom -- i just like growing things
jac, since you have nbt - what is that right I?
(you probably over water the cactus)
I tried growing herbs in my kitchen window last summer... I got enough parsley to garnish a sandwich... and that stuff is supposed to grow wild, LOL.
I even have two bay trees and saffron crocus
in***** waters tend to be fresh and not salt like off***** waters
can you put it outside? parsley needs lots of sun and water
ty
mmmm.... or NEVER watered it.... I used to joke that if they knew the condition of my houseplants they would not have let me take my daughter home from the hospital.
ty
anyone use a greenhouse much?
It was a fun little experiment. I am over it. I could have bought 18 bunches from the grocery with what I spent on seeds, dirt, planter, etc...
lol children tend to make their needs known in a more graphic manner by screaming
my new place has one, but I don't know how to use it
I have absolutely nothing to add to a greenhouse conversation, LOL.
greenhouses keep things warm
So far she has survived to adolescence.
so in the winter you can grow lettuce and such up north
I may not survive her adolescence, but that would be another story altogether.
but in Texas things already grow in the spring and the fall so other than those rare rare frosts. . . .
jmc, really? how dumb do you think I am?
(no need to actually answer that)
Perhaps I should invest in a greenhouse and let her live out her teenage years in there, LOL!
I say freeze them all when they reach puberty!
lol
but they say growing in a greenhouse is not just growing outside stuff indoors
i agree with jmc
sorry didn't mean to sound patronizing
If only...
I would have frozen her at 6... loved that age.
no need to apologize, i was teasing
ask a stupid question....
naw 13 is the age then thaw at 24
ok.... I see... we are in SciFi territory here... So, I freeze her now (13) and she continues to age... got it!
the money you save will more than pay for the freezer storage
OMG... the money is ridiculous.
absolute -- and she mentally matures as well
I took her and 3 of her friends to their first concert the other night...
and some how gets a college degree
I love it jmc.
and maybe a skill *goes to lala land to dream*
Observing 500 teenagers in their natural habitat was certainly interesting!
a world with no teenagers sounds like heaven!
One of the things I realized was that mine really was not so bad (not that I will ever tell her that)!
i hang out with teenagers all the time.... they are nice...
no my son and his friends were actually a lot of fun
They are like toddlers, but with more freedom... completely unrealistic! But they have their moments. And at least mine is funny.
Seriously, I love my daughter's sense of humor.
kje... by choice???
yeah I wouldn't missed a moment of my sons life either even with all the trials and tribulations
I agree... I am trying to take the good with the bad. So far, more good than bad.
Our current bone of contention is how she thinks that her friends know everything (they know less than she does) about everything and her father and I are idiots!
yep, by choice
dtrs of a good friend... I do stuff with them several times/month
Well God bless you kje!
That's nice. They need other adults of good influence and character.
they are sweet
parenting - the greatest responsibility in the world!!
they seem more mature than many american teens... I think it may be because they have travelled so much, seen a lot from poverty in africa to riches in europe, and lived in denmark for about 7-8 years
I understand from other people that mine is very sweet and polite, as well.... she says that she saves her bad behavior and attitude for home, LOL! My husband says we should be happy, as she knows she is unconditionally loved here.
Yes bojazz it is.
likely true mom!!!
American teens are fairly insulated... travelling is good for kids, I am sure... just not something we can do right now.
I spend a lot of my time eye rolling,LOL...
if nothing else, they are very appreciative for what they have, that is nice all by itself
this grid hates me
Mine is not so much materialistic...never really was... it is the social aspect that costs money... the movies, ice skating, etc.
I'm new to this - has there ver been a worse board?
And some of her friends really seem to have unlimited resources...
lots, jazz
mom people used to tell me my daughter was wonderful and polite and helpful and i used to look at them as if they were speaking in tongues
Yes bo....but this one is persnickety.
hello bojazz, this board is a little odd
LOL jac! Mine is the only one with her name in town, so I know people are speaking of her... but I often ask if a new ****** has moved into town, LOL.
all kids are better with strangers... except the bratty ones whose parents never taught them... it is to be expected that they are mouthier with mom and dad
this is such a lovely grid
Grids are subjective. The quicker you find the words the easier it becomes.
lovely apart from the last 4
I agree BR... sometimes when people are complaining about a grid I might think it is easy... it just means that I broke the code to that particular one. I am not paying that much attention today, so I know it is probably me and not the grid.
It is like I have said before, if people would find the words they cannot find first they would not have to struggle with them later.
I really do tend to find grids easy that others find difficult, and vice versa
ata is just showing off, jazz... ignore her... she can get a little smug
Yeah... I am at the point... down to 41 where I need the harder ones.
*gasp*!
no gasping
a lot of it depends on my frame of mind, if i am having a sane day then i manage well
I can't find my last 4, if that helps!
you don't get a name like "smug ata" for nuttin'!
*smug* :)
LOL
lol
mussitate mussitate
I swear theres no more N words!
Nah!
i agree ata

I'm trying *si4*
should I have the peppermint schnapps, straight or on the rocks?

schnapps? oooo straight
last load to go into dryer soon, when that is done I can relax and sip my schnapps. straight it is!!
no point trying to dilute the kick of schnapps
you are absolutely right, Ata-Hari!!
Cold and straight ..
and I need that kick. I really needed it after shoveling the driveway the other day
ok
bet it would be good in hot chocolate or coffee
schnapps is a good thing!
want to buy some peach schnapps too at some point
I like say the word schnapps. it is a funny souinding word
ooo yes, that's lovely

I went yesterday and it is wonderful!
I'll see it eventually.
Not yet geek but want to.
i saw avatar and it was unbelievable!! the audience gave it a standing ovation after it was over!
see it on the big screen
we clapped too! I want to go again. So cool. What a great story line and fab acting and TOP NOTCH animation
Fireworks!
i would have liked to see it on the imax but that was sold out
yay mich
Has anyone heard or seen Joanne123 this week???? She does not have a pro membership and I was thinking to get one for her. Got an email from Dr. God....
The only problem with Avatar are the tv commercials, which are kind of lame for being such a fab movie. I think it might turn people off.
Feel like doing something nice for a person I do not really know...like I really know any of you! LOL
that is very kind sciencegeek - have you got several hundred thousand dollars you can give me?
Agree Babb my DH would not go because he thought it was a cartoon....Now I am forcing him to go with me next week at the IMAX
Only 2 left. Any help with SO 5,14 please

No I do not....a membership here is so cheap...
call a pig, alley

So bring some out here.
Well, I am waiting. Package has been enroute for 15 days now.

good grief, inge!
Hope it arrives safely and in time Inge
oh, from Germany, maybe not coming airmail??
Nobody does of course, but it was funny.
la5/16 plz
I fell in the snow this morning, and landed on my hands and knees, but my face landed on the edge of a cement planter. I look very, very pretty right now!
OUCH!!! so sorry, trif!
Ouch Trif.

i am gonna mess up all the family christmas photos, that is for sure!
OMG Trif, that's terrible!
You poor thing.

Ouch!
Trif, I would volunteer to be the photographer this year
Inge has the right idea.

THAT is a great idea inge! Thanks!!!
Smart Inge

hey, nancy boy!
thanks christine! I wish I could find these for my son - he would rock them!
NB!!
I have to say Hi to NB before I go. Hi NB!!
ty une! hi nancy.
yw :-)
Certainly aserious candidate for chastity belt
Oh I feel so popular :D and also cross. but the popularity is helping! how is everyone?
nancyboy, you did a great job with the photoshop! well done!
Hey, thanks Trif :) I left my hood in, though - d'oh!
By the time you/he got out of them, the thrill would be gone -- dead in the water.
Also. Your icon. You must tell me WHERE I can get my hands on a pair of them.
hi, red, hego, nancy boy, christine, trif, et al. finally dug the other car out today
hi dc.
Hi Seain :) so - who else is absolutely hopping mad?
I rarely hop ..
mad?
not i. or did i miss something
Hi, how is Tom?
Just finished reading the report on what's gone on at Copenhagen :/ I was so furious
Hard to respect Global Warmning when Europe as well as the US East Coast is burried in snow
Ah, that went about as i expected, ala.
ok...back
Christine, he's well. Back at work on light duty.
Yay.
the GT is planned and it's only a matter of time (and some driving)
DC are you still at Hollly"s place?
hiya dc!
nancy, I don't know where to get them, but I am loving www.refusetobeusual.com -- def check it out!
global wierdening is a better descriptor. Avg temp goes up, weather becomes odder/less predictable/changes other than anticipated.
hi, pini
hello tor, by the way...
hi pini!
As I expected also, but still I had some hope. I just don't understand how these people can gather in a group and say, "we must cut temperature rises by 2 degrees..." and then do NOTHING to make it happen, get in a strop and blame china
why blame only China. there are other developing economies that are similar, if not quite on the same scale.
hey red ;)
hello all
hi, lindy
quite! I don't know why they do anything anymore. I'm so, so angry
I can not get warm. I live in a warm place and the onyl time I was wamr today was in the fing pool.
finally firework!!!
wtg 67!
congrats, sixty7
Congrats Sixty7! Great accomplishment!
is temp lower than usual, red?
well done!
it has been cold but really 62, is not cold and I know it.
huzzah for sixty!!!
TY all very much. Well I am off need to go wrap gifts.
Did you all get Dr. God's plea to sign up more pro babblers?
no, I did not hear that
eh, temps are relative. i got my shorts out for mid-30s when i lived in Boston.
indeed so, inge
yes inge
no! apparently I am not much of a cash cow -- either that, or he knows he pretty much has my whole family already, lol!
was it an email? or a message here? or what?
I didn't but I guess we can all try. I think a lot of times we need to encourage regulars who arent pro. I waited about a year to go pro.
it was nice to get a clear explanation on how to gift :)
hm, I did not get an email
check spam for DR_GOD
oh wait, it would have gone to my other email account
ahhh was hoping anyhoo would be considered a word.
e mail at 1:57 eastern time
it was a very nice email, dc...
yes it was, pini
Agreed
I wonder if he would consider a yearly dues....I do feel this is a great bargain on the net.
I did get the email.
gotta switch computers, brb
i didn't :(
If we were to pay annually Dr. God would go batty with paperwork. Time for supper. BBL
agreed, with red and with Inge
njoy, Inge
got the email and figured out what I was missing
I am missing a space heater stuck in my socks.
i believe in a lap blanket, red
coolio, cherly
the pig call ending comes in handy this grid

Hope you fell better Trifs ..
bak. welcome, torg
torg! trif already fell once today!!!!
I'm back
brb
well, that was quick
pini, like a speeding arrow...
bullett?
* giggle *
Parnelli Pini here!
Well, I hope she fell better this time and didn't get hurt ..
I hope so too torg.
* blink * did someone fall?
I meant to type "Hope you feel better Trifs" but I typed "Hope you fell better Trifs" and red jokingly rebuked me for hoping Trifs would fall, and then I replied jokingly, and that's about the story so far ..
ahhhhh, get it now!
No no, trif fell today on ice and hit her face on a planter, for real!
sounds exactly like something I would do! both typing wrong, and falling!!
the cat is eating something in the corner of the rabbit age. hm
OMG...is that the source of her headache???
I do hope she feels better!!!
and i thought tv interesting
i think so...
hay. she's eating timothy hay
lol cherly, TOrgone makes everything more interesting.
my cats love to eat grass
they also loved the guinea pig food, when we had those
my cat loves dog food
yes. the rabbit was very confused, nonetheless
that's freaky, cherly
hello all! hey seain! hey red! tor???
hiya, stid
hi stid.
hi stid
I think that down to 27 is good enough to go to the list...
26...
i think so, too, stid ;)
I need 1 more word to make it to 1/2-way and list!
hey again pini! told stidkid about your shared interest, and he is intrigued!
I'll put some of my books in the car with me, then, stid...
I usually head to the list well before half-way. I'm too impatient to do that much blind searching.
not too many... he'd never want to come home! LOL should he bring his binder with his data?
YES! down to 25. I shall now list. brb
I don't have a ton of them, but will bring at least one that shows my family name in the original villages in Russia ;)
I also have no problem using MoreWords when I can't find things. Kudos to those who don't use these things, but I don't have the time to find them all otherwise.
if you don't mind his sharing it...we'll set a limit so it doesn't take over the entire visit! :)
I have been confined to spending only an hour for so many months due to school that I don't mind being able to sit for extra time as!
it amazes me the people that remember me, based on connections from the past in Facebook.
that would be a perfect choice. he is also very into geography
but that is why these are options... so each of us can do what works for us. =)
indeed so, lindy
exactly! I would rarely finish, even when I have time, without the list. and the lovely cluers!
is the AG 5/18 fishy?
it's a marble
yes, I appreciate those who provide clues, too. I try to help when I can, but not usually quick enough.
a kind og marble stid
thanks red! got it right away!
Not if you're a Texas college football fan ..
fair enough, tor
thanks, dcseain... I could have sworn I tried that word earlier
me, too!
the only ag I had was a 7!
hey again tor! used to eating with a fork again?
now she's eating the mixed crumbs from triskets and pop tarts. she's in a grainy mood tonight.
I meant it's not fishy if you're a Texas college football fan ..
Like riding a bike, stid ..
*guessing seain refers to a cat and not his sister?*
indeed, i'm back home
left her place a bit after noon today.
then shovelled tom's car out.
*grin* glad you are home safely. and now tom can leave, I take it?
See y'all later, kids ..
VDOT finally today cleared all the lanes on 95, 395, and 495
be well, tor
(((tor))) see you again soon
he just left for work, as a matter of fact, stid
took that long? wow.
of course, virginia is not that different from here, weather-wise so I suspect storms like this are always harder to clean up after
glad he's back to work!
totals across region ranged from 18 to 26 inches, mostly in the 20-24 range, so yeah, took that long.
gee whiz, as my late great-uncle used to say.
<-- hungry...off to hunt for food! back later
stid, we get at least one major snowfall each Winter. This one broke December records for snowfall, and is in the top 5 largest snowfalls in the last 200 years.

Hi Kaplan the Magne!How are ya?Welcome to the grid
A few years- wow. This did get me away from my addiction to wordsplay.net, which was a real addiction problem. It was more like crack- one game after another. This I think would be more like heroin.
your dob tells us your ag* + Lickety's L*** is very handy
how old you are in years is your ag* + lickety's l*** helps us find words we cannot see :)
sh*t TY underlass

ty
Kap, when you haven't got any, you have no4
I know that
should have known that one because live in Ag5 land!
its the no6,7 and 8 of course
what you smell with is on the front of your face for no4 too
without prefix + dob tells us your ***
no7/8 without + once upon a time a long time *** + Letter after M
Is the 8 a plural?
How 'bout dat!
sounds like it could be a nine-sided thing :)
yes
is no6 related?
no6.... first 3 letters same as 7 and 8, then your *** is how old you are in years
starts the same first three + your *** is how old you are
Oh, I got itm thanks

hiya buddies

dc you will have to go test all babbleland bourbon balls
Hi Gwen
Thanks, yummy!
huh. maybe someyear i'll try that, dawg. we don't keep schnapps on hand.
Have not seen Pinikula here in Babbleland for in ages!
Hey Gwen!
hiya, gwen
Hi BDG!
hi book
pini was on a few hours ago.
Mango snapps....weird stuff
she's generally well. She, stid, and jilli and some others are meeting up soon.
i can only imagine, science. may i never need to experience it first-hand.
i missed pini? :-(
Hi Book Doctor Gwen! How are you? Welcome to grid!
tell Pini to get her butt back in here so we can say HI
mango schnapps? ehhh, i think i'll pass on that
i'm pooped after running all over town doing errands. put about 100 miles on the car today
will do dawg :)
good on ice cream
I don't even like schnapps enought o try mango
peppermint schnapps has its use
gosh in Texas that 100 miles is going to work and back!
yes, about the only one, IMHO, jmc
(drinking ice water)
only schnapps that is
i also like peppermint schnaps in hot chocolate. but i mostly use it in my truffles
the rabbit sniffing my ankle tickles
It is nice in hot cocoa
100 miles...i'd either be in canada or nearly to Missoula!
aaaahhh spilled jack
may day may day
oh no! are you licking it off the floor, jmc?
dawg, the secret is to keep zigzagging lol
no off the sheets -- i went to bed with my laptop
My hubby says if you spill alchohol,it is alchohol abuse
but it will be a sweet slumber smell!
hmm, zigzagging...100 miles...still be in canada.
I am with your hubby min -- to pricey to spill
i'm w/your husband on that, minver
spilling jack is a cardinal SIN! I prefer Jim Beam Black.... no sins on spilling
(!)
Also, don't drink and drive, you might spill your drink.
lol min!
with 51 left, it is time to call it a night. See you all tomorrow. {{hugs}}
bye mom
Goodbye Mom! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
night night, Mom! sweet dreams!
bye Min, hope your last day at work go** quick
d%^&*(m windows 7 keeps expanding my window
night LBD, pleasant dreams
Thanks Mom!Enjoy the holidays if I don't see ya again
100 miles puts me in Richmond VA, just past Wilmington DE, or into NE WV, and about halfway to Pittsburgh, i think.
you and Mr. Mon as well. Thank you
ah, gotta hate the microsquash
g'night mom
Mr. Min*
good night Seain
100 miles from my home in Houston is almost to Galveston and back -- 20 miles to my parents (still in Houston) and then 30 miles got me to Texas City
Heyas kids ..
hey torg
wb, tor
hi again, torg
Hello torgone! How are you? Welcome back to puzzle!
100 miles gets me to work and back for two weeks ..
100 miles couldn't get me far enough away from here!
i travel about 4 feet from home to work. (puter is right next to sleeping zone) 8-)
when I lived in Houston I would drive to school (15 miles) to work (15 miles) back to school (15 miles) and home (15 miles) all within the inner part of Houston
nice, gwen.
so 60 miles a day if Ididn't do anything
80 miles per day round trip -- houston
i want your commute, bdg!
I went from driving 1 mile to work to driving 55 miles to work. Commute went from 5 min. to over an hour.
I believe it science because I stayed inside the loop!
So I drive about a total of 110 miles to and from work
i traveled 19.4 miles each way to and from HS.
most recent job was a pleasant 3 mile walk
i like driving so i'm not really upset having to drive a lot. but I did have to go over a lot of the same ground twice today due to someone else's dumb mistake. Grrrrr
long commutes suck! i used to have one
*hands book a lollipop*
my idea of a long commute now is 20 minutes
oh, yum! thanks jm 8-)
I walked to high school one mile uphill both ways in the snow all year round with 50 lbs. of books on my back ..
before I worked for the center I went 5 blocks
me too, tor
lol torg -- and in California too no doubt
Until I got a car ..
my commute is 9 minutes if i have early shift, 13 minutes if i go in at a normal hour. return trip however is usually 15 -20 minutes due to traffic
I would love my jewelry business to support me so I can STOP the 80 mile a day trip for ungrateful rich kids
I rode with my mother who taught at my HS
No, that was in Ohio ..
When I was in grade school,I walked a mile & 4/10 to meet the bus & then a mile & 4/10 to walk back home
bet you loved riding with your mom! God rest her soul!
i walked to bus stop in snow and got stuck in blizzard once in washington state
think that why I live in texas again
Was all down hill to meet my bus&all up hill to go home
er no, not really science -- it meant I had to be at school an hour early
Of course, I knew that jmc
grade school was five blocks
i walked to school (seriously) till high school, at which point school system provided a bus, which happened to stop almost exactly in front of my house. after that i got spoiled LOL
Minver, growing up, my school bus stopped at the top of the hill and the bottom of the hill. Only students that got off at bottom lived down there. But no one had to walk very far uphill as a result.
i rode a bus all 13 years in school.
Certainly got lots of excercise when I was a little kid
last sh 5 pls??
more bashful
When my mother became a teacher in my school, we stopped taking the bus because we just went w/her.
An sh5/16 word means to be more basful sciencegeek
me too min except my mother was a teacher there before I went
more bashful?/ not workie
but after my sisters went
brb
misspelled, science
oops dont get it folks!
dont get it
hello 64 to go
sh + sometimes vowel + not him but h**
sh + sometimes vowel + ***spire...sweat
go harp!
My mother was a teacher in my school when I was in 4th grade and then I had her for 2 years in 7th&8th.
Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
hi, jane
hi harp
im' good folks, are you getting settled in for your nice winter weather? is everything plowed?
sh 5/16 rhymes w/one who sheds tears sciencegeek.
really min? I had my mother for second half of 10th then all of 11th and 12th!
plowed everything except some scrubby land behind the barn lol
more bashful
weather has gone by us harp -- now it is just dukeing it out over parking places and watching the snow turn black
My Mother had all 4 of us kids at one time or another
I was the only kid who had my mother. my friends started calling her Mother too
though they say more on Xmas as wintry mix/freezing rain
for her eulogy I commented on how I was the only person who was able to see and compare her skills as a parent and as a teacher
i can't imagine having a parent in the same school with me. it was bad enough my mom worked in the school system! she knew if i skipped class before i got to call her!
they are still too far out for me to believe them dc
Friends called my mom by her 1st name because that is how they knew her before she started teaching.
they all called my aunt Sister too
with you there, jmc. i never believe a Winter forecast here until i see it
it wasnt so bad lbd since she was an excellent teacher
(so so mother)
I believe it when I see the radar dc
now if you lived in a valley, you wouldn't believe the radar either.
In my school classes were combined so the 7th & 8th grade classes were together. So 1 year it was me in 7th grade,my sister in 8th grade,and my mom as the teacher. Half of the family was together all the time.
probably not lbd but I have been watching the radar her for about 10 years so i a fair idea of where the weather is going
interestingly enough sometimes it snows to the south and the north and not in DC
well my father was a meteorologist for the us weather service; we always used to kid him about the weather bureau being the best place for a lyin' government bureaucrat!
true that, jmc
lol harp
that happens to us a lot, jmc. radar doesn't work up here cuz of all the mountains. it bounces around.
when i lived on Maryland Ave NE, the ro4s in front of the house bloomed again at Xmas time
lol harp!
LOL jane
Hi, all...just got fireworks...
whoo hoo jellen!
i one friend to whom i brought a ro4 each xmas :)

Family friend died after a long battle with cancer...he was such a good guy...

Thanks, harp!
oh, him. may he rest in peace, jellen
Oh, ruru...we're facing a difficult situation when we get back...think my dog is going senile...
hi ru!
that's rough, jellen :/
hi, ruru
oh..that is okay.. you can work with that jellen
there are things you can do... what is the problem?
any clues for le6/24?
hi DC...are you still at Holly's
lower extremity + do you use Lickety's L***
a guy into le4's is a le6
looking for it myself nhes
We're starting her on xanax and prednisone when we get back...
no 7/36 ???
that will help... low doses?
LBD!!!!!!!!!!
trust ru to know about le6
prefix for without + once upon a time a long time *** + letter after M
RURU!!
science it is a nine sided object
Think low doses...
Lower extremity!!!!!!!!!!! omg!!!!!!!!
The cortisone will help
I bet lbd says limbs instead of piano le4! *giggle*
TY i was just looking for that word
She's having balance probs, is barking incessantly, has a decreased appetite, seems out of it...
*pokes lbd*
barking could be hearing too jellen
phlibbbbtttttttt
i've not had a bourbon and coke in ages. i'd forgotten how tasty that is. :D
! * F * I * R * E * W * O * R * D * S * !
lol
How old is she?
congrats, gwen
whoo hoo book!
whooooo hoooooo BDG!!!
True...we'll look into that more closely, too...
Jellen, does he stand in a place and stare at nothing for extended periods and wander aimlessly for hours on end?
Yay, Gwen!!!!
(takes a low bow) 8-D
Congratulations BDG
Our last president did that too DC.. no one put him down...
rofl, ruru
Yes, she actually stares at nothing and barks at it...
LOL ruru
rofl ruru!
ru dc didn't say anything about putting the dog down
*stifles a giggle*
true.. I was making a politcal joke
i had a dog that did that but it turned out it was terrified of the lamb i was cooking
some times that is related to hearing jellen..
actually, you can't say no one put him down -- a lot of people put him down LOL
Hope so, ruru!
friends dog got senile. He'd stare at the wall, or a corner for extended periods. He'd walk toward food, get 2/3 there, then turn around and go to top of stairs and stand for a while, before turning in circles for a bit.
It's tough when they are older...
found out that one of the ways they train sheep dogs not to eat sheep it to beat them with a sheep carcass and our dog was a failed sheep dog
it is like hospice care
got it! thx
beat them or Bleat them?
Yup, I've been lucky so far with my geriatric clan...
we were never able to serve lamb while that dog was alive
wtg nhes!

hey friends!
pini -- I was thinking...
stid! :)
yes?
Mother wants to pick us up at 7:30 tomorrow morning. The soonest we would get to Ptlnd would be about 10:30. You want to just rendezvous at the restaurant 11-ish?
Oh, no problem...whatever works best for you guys...
and if you take a little longer, it would be okay because the boys are happy as long as they have a snack.
...I think its just going to be me (still can't get ahold of my friend)
let's plan on that, then and we'll go on to Powell's (or wherever) after.
that'll work ;)
too bad you can't reach her. Oh well -- I don't suppose any other Portland-area babblers are interested in showing up?
are there any? (and I still haven't heard from meli, either) :(
there are a few, but I don't know exactly which ones!
well, Ata was on the coast for awhile but I think back across the water now
hi stiddie
oh! I took the younger stidkid to taekwon do and stopped at the fabric store for more yarn.... and there is some pink fleece that is "almost" the right camouflage pattern... . *grin* was tempted to get it for a jacket!
yes, she was complaining about the cold in England I think.
I am heading to bed after taking a lexulous turn pini
see you all tomorrow *poof*
later jmc! see you tmorrow
just in case any babblers in the portland oregon area want to join us, we are going to meet between 11 and 11:30 at Old Wives' Tales restaurant on East Burnside prior to going to Powell's...

meli...can you email me so I can get my cell number to you?
you'll have a great time. don't bring any laundry home, either -- you'll have an excuse to shop for clothes then!
nm got it
put the plural letter in front of the last
sh + futur***ic
s + h***ory is a school subject
mel, insert consonant before the vowel
last 2 sh words 5/12 5/16
pini -- you can send her my cell phone # also
lol, stid...

(getting excited for a ride-a-long!)
missing a seven letter word
sh5 word for beach

do you have the ag 7?
sh5.16 - less outgoing
sh + sometimes vowel + comparative ending

en7 extends the en5 and is singular of the en8
add h***ory to the ag4 before it
do you have a clue for the ag 7?
ag 7 is the 4 + three letters that sound like a superlative suffix
aggest
si 6/24 please

yo4 loves chachi
ag 5/18 please
stidmatt has the same problem, seain
go mel go!
my dau lives out near you now, dc

stidkid #1 = stidmatt (that's his screenname when he plays)
well, how close is Virginia Beach to you?

is there a Stidcat and a stiddog?
gads, stid, you and I think alike! :)
snap again pini!
to me? 3.5 hours if no traffic on 95. Can be as few as 3 or as much as 5. Lil*monkey lives in that area.
will!
hmmm no idea stiddy I thought that was an agate
I'm missing Powells horribly. And Voodoo Doughnuts
ag5 = mAG*** Simpson (the baby)
ag5 - marble or Texas A&M
yes, but make that word "cute" -- double consonant
voodoo donuts?
i've heard of voodoo, but only once...
"I'll have the glazed hex please!"
I hear they're very good
we missed out on voodoo last we were there :( we were both very, very disappointed. We're going to voodoo 1st next time
doh thank you
they are wonderful!
I don't suppose they have wheat-free kinds? *longing look*
clue please for si 4 5 after the traffic light please
are they close to Powell's?
an 5/14 3 to go! the first one that is
they have vegan, they may have wheat-free.
stid, we might have to take a small detour!
an 5/14 heavenly host?
just look for the police officers pini
an5 = heavenly being with wings
not too far away fromPowells no!
and go 5/20 which I am assuming I plural for the 6?
http://www.voodoodoughnuts.com/
ROFL, ru...you nut!
oh lord how did I miss that one lololol
nope, that's wrong
that was the transgression + chair letter cherly'
seems they've vegan, but not wheat-free, alas
go 5/20 looks hebrew to me
www.voodoodoughnut.com - there
ata, easy walk from powell's to voodoo, yes
Is sugar considered vegan?
well, that's okay, seain -- I am just so happy to not be getting migraines since I dropped wheat from my diet!
depends on the sugar, ruru
woooo hoooooo! (might have to make small detour for afternoon "snack", yeah, that's it) LOL
ty fire works finally
that is a BIG happy, indeed, stid :)
congrats, cherly!
hmmmm

lets try this, http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/for um/index.php?autocom=gallery&req=si&im g=46737
Ata's looking to get beaten!

oh my...that's a bit of a doosey! :)
that's going to need a serious amount of TLC for sure mel!
and I will get some pictures up of it when it is done tommorow
hope I will be going to bed after that
i now have 22 google wave invites, if anyone would like one.
coolio, mel :) look forward to seeing
well it does not look like that now, that was a few months ago lol
what the heck is that, dc?
we got married when we did, atalante, because when I asked Tom, he named a time I hadn't expected, and when he saw my face he moved the date UP! LOL
that is just like you, Atalante, making the grid bigger...
loooooooool
wave.google.com
this one is my pride and joy if you can see the other pictures, http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/for um/index.php?autocom=gallery&req=user& user=2577&op=view_album&album=2930
gads, if only I could spell
it sort of like sharepoint, but you can share within or with out your organization by document, and it's more collaborative
seeing that makes me miss the doll house museum
wow, meli...that's gorgeous!
dc...sorta like that little project? *hint*
that florist shop is beautiful! I LOVE the floor!
oooo I'd love an invite, dc
oh, yes :) I'll respond tomorrow :">
fireworks, whew!
yes exactly. shall i start a wave with you so we can see what it may do?
I made that floor out of popsicle sticks lol
