hope they're alright, nan, and good evening
CO 6
no ambulance has arrived and the police and tow truck have been there for a while.
that much is good news
hi nan -- sorry to hear about that accident. I hope nobody was hurt.
ca6 --->ca8
Not a good way to end a year by being in a hospital
TY MRP
ty mrp i just got them
arrrgh - I am sooo close to nbt!
ty, mrp
mrp what is the update on your dad?
fa 6
dad still has shrapnel in his leg... I will call him in an hour or so :)
ti 7 if not called
have they been able to extricate him?
mrp -- is there still a flood?
that lone N is a word that, to me is at best dialectal, and moving toward archaic
ov8
thanks, omar
glad to help :)
ty omar... have never seen that word before
yet it was obvious as soon as he? declared it, wasn't it, dee?
yes, he
absolutely true dc
ty, omar, got it. I have an ov6, too
they can't get to him yet, but tomorrow looks more promising
ez compound
I agree DC - it is very rarely seen written, at the very least
not obvious to me, as usual
how did he get the metal in his leg mrp? I bet you are anxious for them to get him out.
quite so, trif, i've heard it spoken, usually in a store when shopping
the ov8 is one of those idiot compounds that I don't get the meaning of
so the waters are re6ing?
oh lol, got the ov8!
they are not dcs, more rain.
didn't Rhett tell Scarlett that? It's all ov8
oh, my mrp!
Happy New Year, Babblers!
lol, aloy!
lol, Aloy!
NBS! still 6 BT
happy new year Aloy! only 6 1/2 hours to go here!
NBS?
revocate looks like a word but isn't :(
nbs = no blank stats (have one from each word length)
ah, okay. thanks
same as nbt?
still trying to find the archaic N word... :)
me too
finally nbt
no, jilli...nbs is no blank word stats (underneath My Word List)
I have been nbs for a while, but I just can't get those damn e's under control....
oh, ok pini
still need 6 more for NBT (underneath the grid)
the cat is nesting in El Tiempo Latino. I hope it'll still be re4able when she's done, as i've not re4 it yet.
ca 6 x 2
I see what you mean -- nbs here too
what is nbs?
NBT = No Blank Tiles (Tiles Stats); NBS = No Blank Stats (Word Stats)
in this case, nbs could be achieved with only 5 words, am I right?
yes, rbud ;)
correct, rbud
gotcha! :D
Hey, for me it's the little things!
I don't understand the difference
I spy a palm tree (-:
I give up over half way and still 3 nbts

will we be getting a list?
the list is up, west
I believe it's up west
lickety posted
that was my initial prob circe
oh good
glad I wasn't alone... but I'll still hang on to the fish anyway!
could have sworn titch was a word
I have them sometimes lol
or ... move over a titch, so I can sit down LOL
that af 7 has me stumped
that is definitely a word dee
I agree, dee, about titch
I have a scottish friend, and she refers to drinks as "titches" - esp. gin and tonics, for some reason....
a + past tense of being scared ... the child f.... the black spider
thanks dee !!
ty jili & west... we babblers hereby proclaim that "titch" is a word!
yw
that af word is mountain william
ty for the af7, dee
thot it was synonymous with "scooch"
yw
ty dee
yw
the af doesn't have a present tense
wiktionary defines titch as : A very small person; a small child; a small amount
probably from Scots, Geordie, or related Danelaw area dialect.
ty dc... exactly... move over a titch, a small amount
we should be using that in here then
I noticed that west
top row grey
wtg nan... throw out some of your t's and a's :)
gj nan!!
well, some people are a bit tetched in the head and tetch isn't a word either
oooh, I agree jili
is too !! lol
I feel robbed - can't make an 8 word by putting "far" in front of fe5/20, guess it's only used in the past tense
I think you should be correct rb... singular as well
nice try rbud and hello
hi, west! :)
I also thot tietac was okay
must be tietack
yep, tack
figures
tetched, tetchy... are okay...
fa6, now I'm hungry..
hmm need to look for that one...
look in a mexican restaurant, Dee
awww should have seen that when I found ta 4
ty
ooh thanks aloy
now I'm really hungry!
I have an fa6 that is, I assume, not edible, more magical.
pass the cheese, please
and sauce of course
rbud, i have 2 fa6 non-food
I love chili's restaurant ones... combo of steak and shrimp yum
ooh, stop it Dee!
hmmm, ty, seain, looking...
thanks rbud love that spelling
have to fe5 a napkin, am salivating
me, too aloy... with margaritas yum
may I come too?
tonight hubby and I made Julia Child's beef bourginon (sp?), and we had some of his Christmas scotch and it was fantastic. Of course you are invited west!
mmm, sounds delish
having it for dinner tomorrow, so only had a few tastes, but it smelled so great
oh thank you dee I made Julia's beef once boy did it take a long time
but it was worth it
long time to get together and cook, so hopefully worth it. Exactly
lol typing same thing as you west
bourguignon
I think there may be some shortcuts to take another time, but I was afraid to mess with the original recipe since we are having company
I swear, though, I will never saute onions or mushrooms any other way. Thanks jili
whew, that's a word for a spelling bee
Their color is beautiful.
it helps to have several sous chefs
I have also seen it spelled with an e in it somewhere... least I thought so...
you're making me hungry
lol... hubby helped with that
don't forget to de 6 those fa 6's
me, too, jili, cuz I can smell it now
lol, good one vash
my concentration is going out the window
I loved the flavor of the beef in burgandy... great depth, rich flavor, but it wasn't overpowering like I originally thot it might be.
I seem to be stuck with 36 to go (and now, thanks, I'm hungry too)
it can be à la bourguignonne too (I looked it up in my Julia)
lol, it is gone
ty ty jili... I wasn't nuts about the e... 32 here and seriously thinking about THE list
I only studied Spanish, not French, so the words and phrases are totally new to me

af 7
I had this great idea to make a turkey dinner with all the trimmings for 17 people but I was still wrapping presents and finishing up cleaning that morning
ur4, fertilizer ingredient
bottom line is I was in the kitchen and missed them opening their presents
de 7x2
I was disappointed cuz that's the fun part
af7, co7, de7 x 2, re7, ti7 x 2
Oh, bummer, west!
awww, that stinks, west! that's the funnest part
ty, g'rose
got the de ones!
I did commandeer third daughter's boyfriend to peel potatoes
awww, westy, what a bummer! hope they appreciated the sacrifice.
Couldn't they have waited a bit for you?
he's an ex Marine lol
they did rose and we had a wonderful dinner
af7 weird or normal?
well that's good,
jilli they needed to open gifts so we could move the furniture and set up the tables
af7 is kinda hickish
and most had to leave right after dinner to get back
hurshy sort of weird, as it is a past tense with no present tense form
a + frightened of
30 to go but am off to bed, be back in the morning
lesson learned is open gifts or have a big dinner but not both
goodnight all
ahhh, i tried that without the last e ... which isn't in the grid ... too hickish for my own good!
that is why we started doing brunch... I prepare everything the day before and then just pop it in the oven ... so I can take part in festivities, too
well, you certainly deserve a medal, west
night flosey -- well done
nite flosey, happy new year
sausage/ egg casserole; breakfast pizza; Christmas French toast
thanks jilli it was a good Christmas and I did get to see the little ones open their presents and that was most fun
how many c6's are there? i have 6.
and where did they hide your presents while this went on, west?
and monkey bread; champagne with o.j.
not getting the af 7 clues
glad you at least got to see that west; big hugs to you

hi, ru! fe4 = fright, it has a past tense, put A in front of it for the 7
thanks granny
hi
ur4 = ur + 2 vowels

when I was living in Appalachia I saw a big ol' bear and I was af7
ty r bud...just popped in my head *smile*
Oh nice, west -- I gave my granddaughter my old gold charm bracelet with all sorts of interesting things on it -- my mother had given it to me.
that's just pretend
what a lovely present jilli that will mean so much to her
I hope so, west
how was Christmas dinner jilli was it at your granddaughter's boyfriend's house?
... but that is so not a word....is that from the Arkansas enable dictionary?
can't find one of the co6... have person who ties a rope around a suitcase...
ah reckon it is ruru
co + ReVerse + double vowel
ru...love your lil feller's santa outfit!
tx
thanks
ty rose what a word
what can i say? strange, but true. lol
yes, it was, west -- what a memory you have! It went very well, with the 6 (now 7) year-old as entertaining as ever, combined with Granddaughter's new 3-month-old puppy -- a tiny little Chihuahua-Boston Terrier mix with personality plus and bright as a button
I'm so glad to hear that jilli what's the puppy's name?
ruru, I guess you didn't see (or get) my question about being scared of the af7 -- ?
the puppy is Arlo
not really after Mr Guthrie
great name !!
I finally got it from your hicksville clue jilli.. thank you
that's the only Arlo I know lol
hi ruru what are you going to name your little guy?

I heard on the news that Rush Limbaugh went to the ER for chest pains..
it's 2:45 am and my hubby will be up at 6 am looking for coffee and my company...I will look like a train hit me and will probably fall asleep in the cream ha, ha, ha
(everyone at the ACLU didn't think he had a heart)
I set up the coffee and sleep in
lol, ruru...
LOL, MP, and LOL, ru!
good point ruru
good idea west...if only I had one of those life sized dolls to sit in my chair...hmmmmm
brb, need fluid of some kind.....preferably COLD
lol mpit
ruru that is hysterical and I agree
ruru he was like also the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz...you know...didn't have a brain either!
Good New Year's eve day to everyone. At least we didn't get any more snow yet.
not funny at all to make fun of someone who is ill
hi rumple ( don't say the s word )
we're supposed to get a 'wintry' mix
rumple don't say that word shhhh!
Gotcha by gosh
whoops...west great minds..alike! *grin*
it's pretty from inside lol
back. btw, himself has just given me my final chrissy present...a new cage for my beautiful canary, Psycho
our San Diego kids are planning to go to Boston for First Night and they are going to freeze
prolem...the canary is a gold-orange colour and the cage is.....
ooh nice rose dare I ask how canary got his name?
I used to raise German Roller canaries. How I miss their beautiful singing. Now I have a B & G Macaw and he screams.
PURPLE!!!
westy, he thinks he is a budgie, chews everything he can reach and when he sings, he bops his head on his swing
purple and gold go well together
sounds divine grannyrose - canaries should clash with their surroundings - shows up their beauty
granny...actually gold-orange and purple look beautiful together...opposites on the color wheel
lol rose now I understand
your macaw must be a beauty too rumple
he is really the most incredible singer, but he makes us laugh. his favourite music is swing ( no pun intended)
my son has a caique and he is amusing
and when he gets in his bath, he actually paddles. his little feet go up and down, i've never seen anything like it
I had a cockateal named "Molotov" in college
I am trying to convince my son to find a good home for his caique because he does not have the time to spend with him and I feel so sorry for the parrot
caique ? is that a type of parakeet
wonderful name ruru
ruru, i have to ask...why molotov?
ahhhh, duh, cockateil, cocktail
could he get the parrot a friend?
ursh it is a parrot...http://caiquecrazy.org/
(holds light bulb above granny's head)
I love clever names
rofl, ruru
anyone have the stats on the lone in in the middle row?
e or u, ruru
ruru can't top that...the caique is named Byrdie!
the lone what?
mpittore - had a look - very pretty - we had an African Grey parrot for years - spoke beautifully but also lonely so game him to retired friend who breeds budgies - more company for the bird
e
ranger?
er5/14
or the e next to it ee5/10
good morning everyone...
hi oodle
er it was thank yougranny
nbt
we birdy-sat an amazon gray..took him to our seasonal campsite...he barked like a dog and as people passed said loudly "Stop that Sh*t"...
hi ood's
yay, ruru
lol,mp. how embarrassing!
yes...and they speak so very clearly tooo!
(Byrdie.. listened to howard Stern I am guessing)
wtg ruru
we tried really hard not to teach ours to swear - but eventually he regularly said "bugger off"
oh, no, urshy
and the culprit was?
nooooot meeeee
if he was in the states no one would know what that meant...LOL
African Grey's have a really clear voice and he just learnt words on his own - he would ring the phone then answer and babble away waving his foot about then say okay bye and make the sound of the phone being put down - quite amazing
this one learned to bark 2 different barks...one a close by bark and the other a distant bark...owners said it was by listening to neighborhood sounds all day...but I think he got the swearing from his home LOL we were so embarssed but we were 2 hrs from home so had to just laugh about it
reminds me of a camping holiday we had with our then 4 year old. we saw such incredible things. mountains, beaches, trees, gorges, wildlife. atr then end, we stopped for fuel and noticed that one tire was flat. as my then hubby was looking at it , some bright spark commented " you've got a flat tyre. as hubby said later " what an a***hole!"
decade
when we arrived home we went to see his parents. the first thing my darling 4 year old said was " guess what we saw. an a***hole" i could have died
Byrdie makes odd up and down motions with his foot also...I think it's an inherent motion but my son's friends made quite a few risky comments about it.
granny...that is so funny...kids are priceless!
thanks, sugar ;)
ruru...did Howard have a character named Byrdie?
left at the burp to check email lots of funny stories on returning
I didn't listen to Howard too much a little too dirty and not enough funny for me...but my husband listened to him...I liked the Greaseman...but he slipped and made a joke that got him kicked off the air...so many of them slip up and go to far such a shame because he was mostly funny and no swearing
I agree mpit it's all about the ratings
Not that I'm a goody tro shoes but I think some of the funniest comedians that ever lived never said a single swear word...Red Skelton, Tim Conway, Carol Burnett and the like...knee slapping ROFL just crazy funny!
fireworks
WTG DEE!!!!

ATTENSHUN. I HAV TEEKEN HAZ HOSTAGE. PAY UP & I WILL LET HER GO OR OR PAY MORE & ILL KEEP HER TIDEDED UP. UR CHOICE.
PAYPAL AKSCEPTED.
*** laughter** either Haz, you have taken too many pills or FMitch you need money for holiday as new home is costly .
HELLO ELDER. SPANGLE ALSO TIDEDEDED UP. WHAT'S IT WORTH?
worth weight in gold!
is it a star spangle dear Hazel ?
At today's prices? Hello elder and montreal, how nice to see you!
tideded! seems like something Haz wouild like. feel a little tideded mself after having some nice Margaret River white
hello Monty!
I have spare old gold you could melt down and spend as you please... let her go, who will cook and do MR Haz's home comforts.
I was just testing to see if I was the only person around. Nice to see I'm not alone.
hi lyn and elder - i've had less than 4 hours of sleep this night... brain not in gear yet...
TESTING testing. !!!!.. I have called the Police and told them of this heinous crime.
Goodness, there's montreal with little sleep, lynxx with too much wine, Haz having escaped from a hostage situation. Elder, what's been happening in your neck of the woods.
Hello Mont and Lynxx.
See how shaken I am by my experience? I forgot to put in a question mark at the end of woods.
wow, that IS shaken !!
well..... have put the washing on...nothing near the experience of you , you poor soul, :)
I know. I'm deeply ashamed that my stiff upper lip and my punctuation skills have been affected so badly.
'giggles'
our wee heat wave has just broken. We now have heat lightning and thunder to compete with the NYE fireworks. Stew is keeping VERY close company
almost scandalous hazel...
Poor Stew! We're all feeling a bit discombobulated. (I feel my strength returning, didn't even have to check the dictionary for that dis word)
Haz, are you in attention seeking mode, yet again:) priceless it made me laugh out loud to the extent that I could not initally type.
I was just hoping that someone else would be around. The log was silent for over 3 hours I think.
Morning all....nice to see you free again Haz....I was just counting out my penny jar.....but I shall just put it back now...lol
Lynxx, bless him.
3 hrs ? good grief.
was minus 20 C here yesterday but warmed up somewhat - 2 major storms are aimed at our ar4 for the January 1-3 period... "sigh"
hi Flask
morning flask !
Haz are you also our monitor for time and lapses.
Good morning, Flask. I'm grateful that you'd spend your money on me. If you're still feeling generous, I could start up the Haz Holiday Fund. A worthy cause, I assure you!
Hello Flask.
Good morning/day to all. Monty--good to see you. How have you been?
the punctuation is back hazel... you must be feeling better :)
morning Scrabs
Good morning, Scrabbler!
Oh, I am, montreal, I'll soon be onto semi-colons.
I reviewed chat log below---Haz, you are funny! Or else, Haz's kidnapper is funny!
Hi elder and Lynxxx........sorry Haz, but that really doesn't constitute a rainy day.....lol
SCRABBS ! FAIRLY WELL THANK YOU ALBEIT TI5 how about you dear one ?
Darn. I'll just have to soldier on, Flask.
Also cold (teens in F here) but ok.
<'smiling> 'fraid so.....
Haz, I have just had this image of you cleaning away, cooking etc with plugs /wires in ears linked to Babble..a bell going off when someone enters or wants a clue and you dash to the screen, ripping off marigolds as you fly across the room :)
I love the word "albeit" but haven't thought of it in a long time....*note to self: use "albeit" in conversation soon.*
I have the same image, Elder....haha
Hello Scrabbs and Flask.
How are you Elder?
Gosh, elder, that's so near the truth it's freaky!
Am fine thank you Scrabbs and yourself?
Haz, I knew it.:)
And also, when a crime occurs in Babble Land Chief of Police Haz instantly knows about it
well tx scrabbs, I actually managed to use it today...1st time this year...lol
What I need is a laptop with a carrying handle that I could put round my neck (think old-fashioned cinema usherettes and their ice-cream trays). That way, I could babble on the move.
Haz AKA - Miss Marple.
lmao......hyper-sensitive is what you are Haz!
ha ha...
I can just see Mr Haz's face. He thinks I'm cracked as it is.
kind of like that usherette image hazel...hmmm...
Good job, Monty--you got it in before the calendar flipped over--let's use lots of smartypants words today like: nevertheless, nonetheless, ergo...
.. or one of the 'Spooks'.
good morning on this last day of the decade and a Happy, Happy New Year's wish to all Babblers
Hi Bo!
Ah, Mr Haz.. at times he must be pleased to go out on visits just to get way from the madness.
Scrabbler, husband was reminiscing yesterday about a vet he used to work with. They had competitions to see who could work in a particular word into their surgery consultations. So owners with dogs with diarrhoea would find themselves being asked 'Is your dog pruritic? (it4/6y?)
Good morning, Bojazz.
stil digging out Scrabs?
hello bojazz.
happy new year bojazz and all my babbling friends !
hi Bojazz-
Haha, Haz
No new snow since Tuesday, Bo
granddaughtrers will be here around 5 and wanted to have some for them... lol
nice one haz...
I just checked weather forecast--snow is expected for the next week! Yahoo, I will cross-country ski + use my new snowshoes this weekend!
good morning Babblers :) New Years wishes for health and happiness to all of you!
This morning we have snow, sleet and freezing rain. It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood!
morning Nono
good morning
Hi Nono & lawyer & Sue
gm nono lawyer and sue - happy 2010 to you all
Good morning Nono, lawyer, sue.
.. and I see Babble has correct spelling with number word, it is one of my hates to hear pronounce it wrong.
Hello Sue, lawyer and Nono.
And this is the 1st time in more than 10 years that we will be going out for New Year's eve.
Okay, now that I know that babbleland is populated and talking, I'll get the marigolds on and get back to my self-scheduled domestic activities. See you later!
lawyer, enjoy..
Bye for now Haz..
which should I enjoy...the snow, sleet or freezing rain?
Bye! *gone*
bye Haz - Happy New Year, hope 2010 is good for you and family
enjoy the rest of 2009 hazel and the best to you in 2010
bye Haz
and this is the first time in 10 years i will NOT be going out - have great fun lawyer
freezing rain is my favourite lawyer :)
I prefer the stupid drunk drivers
Gee, I check the news on another site, come back and all these people enter Babble. Hello peoples.
i know you jest Monte but you can have all the freezing rain I can send your way
New Year's Eve = lights out by 10 as usual. I don't get the celebration--we just flip the calendar.
same here Scrabs, I couldn't stay awake past 10 pm if I tried
we had th (in) famous freezing rain storms in 1998 paralizing half the province for up to 6 weeks in some ar4s ...
my children start for bed around 9-9:30 - i want to see the crystal drop!
Life has the same exact problems + challenges no matter what the calendar indicates...am I being to pragmatic and cynical now?
I will go to bed with the TV on and perhaps will wake up at the appropriate time to see the ball drop but chances are not good :)
no, but close lol
Well, during the weather break this afternoon, we head down to the inner harbor where we have a room overlooking the harbor with a front row view of the fireworks.
no scrabbler - i feel the same, but there's pressure from all sides to do something special just because it's nye
oh that sounds nice lawyer
used to count the last 10 seconds of the year... but not anymore - traditionnally, we have my family for new year diner and evening so to bed by 11 pm on the 31st...
at least we can avoid the drunk drivers
it's just a reason (good or bad) to party...
nice use of pragmatic scrabbs - A for effort !
good morning everyone salut montreal ... pinny are you related to mary???;-)

this is my last word and am looking forward to getting a bit more sleep
oh, my, flosey, what an adorable icon you have!!
flosey sent the cows to market again.
reherded??
very cute, flosey!
ty Une, my second grandson, they've been with us since Christmas, leaving today, will miss him
good day all
hi, sprite!
good morning sprite
Or got the car out for another trip.
oh, i know it'll be hard to say goodbye, flosey!
Hello sprite.
flosey! Une! Glad to see you.
hey Frances, long time ago!
my daughter's fiance is arriving today
to stay for several days before he goes back to school
hi Sprite!
Yes sprite. Tend to lurkalot these days.
lovely aslindy
Sir Lurkalot?
hi Nanette!
I lurk more too
rather LADY Lurkalot!
LOL Une.
yes, we really like him a lot, and he likes staying with us as being less stressful than being with any of his parents
nice name, lol
that's wonderful, lindy!
well, we are a pretty low-key family
aaahhh, finally got the re7 -- thanks for the clues!
was reading your bio aslindy - one of our golden lab's pups is living on the island here and her name is also Raven - (our dog got out one night, came home next morning looking very sheepish!!!!
lol flosey
You're welcome Une.
*** and met up with a black dog we had not seen before, but lived up the way - all her pups were black
our Raven is a male.... most people think Raven is a female name, but I have always thought of it as male
there are many names that can be either aslindy - new a man named beverly - beverley?
that is unusual
we had a mayor many years ago, Beverly Briley
(male)
and he made mayor... kind of a boy named sue
:-D
you don't happen to know if he had a son and how they were named? ;)
aha, finally got the re7 thanks Frances
mornin babblers!
hi EvaN!
LOL just looked up the meaning . . . Beverly means beaver stream -- how bizarre is THAT?!
hey, eva
and that's fireworks - just 5:30 am so will try to get another hour or so of sleep - be back for flip tonight
lol une
wtg flosey! I hope you sleep well. *hug*
quite bizarre
congrats, flosey!!
sprite, his kids were Cliff and Diane . . .whew! LOL
much easier on them! :)
ok, got to go for now... back later!
later, lindy!
my nephews name is Sidney. i love the name + in our English heritage, we know Sidney as a strong, blue-collar man kinda name. unfortunately, here, in the generation he is growing up in, just about every other Sidney he will meet will be a girl...
We used to have neighbours, when I was very small, whose last name was Olie (Oil). Dad's name was Peter. And the darn guy named his daughter Petra. It borders on criminal behaviour!
oh no, sprite! LOL
eva, so true!
I shared a hospital room as a child with a kid named Charles Upp - and his parents called him Chuck!
lol dan, also not easy to live with!
firebirds! and i hear noise coming from the lower levels...think maybe family has finally decided to wake up! Happy New Year everyone!
i went to school with a kid named Justin Case. made me giggle every time.
yay, dawg!!
eva LOL!
we had a large family of Funks in my little hometown
happy belated birthday Unea. I forgot we shared a sign!
tx dawg :-)
Did you hear about the Orson Welles fans who names their son Orson? Trouble was their surname was Cart.
my best friends married name is Hitchings. they used to joke that they would name their children Truck and Trailer...
:-D
hello everyone!
Hello Annie.
we are still in the old year here. Happy NewYear to you andyours, lbdawg
Hi Frances
lolllll EvaN, that is horrible
hi Annie
hey, annie!
sorry to spam, got kicked out
sprite -- thankfully they were only joking! some other people may actually think thats a GOOD idea!
Hi Une and Spritey
EvaN, indeed! But I meant the Justin Case. That is truly horrible to live with. I like the jokes about Truck and Trailer. Must have been fun during pregnancies :)
I heard somebody actually wanted to name their kid @. (At). But they were not allowed to, the judge forbade it. Thanks God.
I missed the clue for the re7......again plz
yes, the Justin Case, sadly, is a real person. still not sure if thats better or worse than my brothers childhood friend, James James.
james james? Oh de4, that is something too. The things people do to their children, argh.
MM get the car out for another spin.
ta frances
oh thanks, great clue
he was originally born James Some-Other-Last-Name but was adopted by his stepfather and given his last name, of James. a debacle, if you ask me!
You're welcome.
so, i got to spend the day yesterday with the dear fiance, his mother + my mother looking at a few potential wedding reception venues. im happy to report that i think we found one!
ah good!
very nice, Eva
Frances, how are you and how have you been?
its an historic old mansion with so many stories to tell! the woman was telling is that the boxwoods out front are 400 years old + were a gift from George Washington when his stepson was married there to the former owners daughter!
I'm fine thank you sprite. Doing my usual Christmas dog sitting stint. And you?
wow really old. Sounds good!
Sounds like the wedding site for you
life got kinda bumpy here, but at the moment things seem to be settling. Terra is doing great, he isn't bothered by all the fireworks at all!
im super excited. the place literally needs almost NO decoration, because it is just SO amazingly beautiful all on its own!
Riz loves fireworks. He will have me out on the terrace at midnight (glass in hand) to watch them.
awwwww that is so cute!
Hope life is getting a little less 'bumpy'.
I hope so too! We have gotten quite a lot more than our share, I swear. I would like a truly, thoroughly boring New Year.
I wish for you everything that you wish for yourself. That goes for everyone.
Sprite, just caught you :).. wishing you and your family a wonderful 2010. Happiness and good health. See you in the new year.
that is a nice wish. :) Thanks Frances, and to you too
Thank you.
aww elder, thank you! Same to you, de4 friend, and may life be alittle easier on you in the year to come.
and Happy New Year to all of you. Peace and Happiness be bound.
Thank you elder.
lets hope so for us both - take care. *hugs*
Thank you, elder. I wish all the good things in life to everyone.
Bye now and see you all soon.
bye elder *hugs*
if anyone is interested in looking at photos of our (most-likely) venue, they have some lovely ones up on their website: http://mountairymansion.org/g allery.html
i have the ca8......clue for the other plz
Une that looks beautiful.
MM ov8/60. Cost too much.
ta frances
You're welcome MM.
i don't have the ca8, Movie my man. Would you please clue it for me?
EvaN, that is a wonderful place to have your wedding! You will look gorgeous against that wood. And all.
ca8= ca6 (a vocation) + vowel + cosonent
How many words today?
Sprite ca8/50 went down the mountain out of control.
156
Thanks.
thanks, both of you! Got it, good clues!
we may potentially have the ceremony outside in the sunken garden. whats nice is that you can change your mind at the last moment if need be + it only takes 15-20 minutes for them to move it inside. im in love with the place!
yvw sprite
My pleasure sprite.
oh that is even better, then you won't have to worry about the weather much.
Sounds like the perfect venue EvaN.
It looks so lovely EvaN, a perfect venue! and hello all.
I can't stop being happy because of Peter Jackson's knighthood

I do Frances, I will blame my keyboard for the typo.
LOL!
and thats fireworks for me! Off to paint a table. If I don't see you befure - have a Happy New Years and may the new year be a good one.

interesting that de 6/27 would show up today
need to change my icon. BRB\
ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS NOT THE END OF ONE .....
it's my every ten year rant....sorry
laugh if you will people but I need to ask kje a medical question
They're having that very discussion over on the iron sucky-duck game, but they're going into missing days in 1572 and 1765 or something.
ti
Good morning/afternoon all.
Hello all...Happy New Year!
Hi ((( Haz))). Happy New Year!
yup 1765
what is the best way to ease constipation when there is NO WAY it will come out...
hi Haz, Nonnie
the switch over to the gregorian calendar
Hi Nonnie
if you are impacted, it has to be manually disimpacted
Oh Lord OOdle!!
Hello, hego and Nonnie and beach and all other interested/interesting parties.
supository and a whole pack of fig newtons;)
Try a Fleet enema
I'M sorry
I think that is a TMI situation
LIquid paraffin, just don't set it alight.
tmi.....
too much cheesecake, oodle
Parafin, Haz? All my years of nursing I never heard that!
if just constipation, and it has been persistent, I think I would try lactulose - take 30cc every 4 hours until you stool... then you will stool until clear
fleet
no paraffin...
oh well I guess it wasn't that bad then I did it with suppositories... it was last night and MAN what a day that was... but finally and did I have to push... again sorry everyone
Sorry oodle...hope you get some relief soon.
lol hego,ive heard of parrafin..for cows..to be ingested to remove hairballs lol
Or is it cooking oil?
Definitely TMI
lactulose ... by perscription?
the key now, is prevent it from recurring... start a bowel regimen - would start with colace twice daily with 2 senna before bed... usually enough to keep you regular
Cooking oil for dogs, I know that. Just a little.
I think you can get lactulose OTC
well, I have no idea actually what you get OTC in canada
and enough fibre that you fart dust lol
I have had it before and i just have to watch my intake of cheese vs fiber
lol crossy!
what an interesting conversation
exackatackally cross hee hee he
Isn't it, though?
thats why i love babble you never know what will back up into the chog lol
sorry ata
And to think they complain when we talk about dogs and their bottom problems, Ata.
LOL haz
absolutely LOL :P
it's always bottoms related, crossy :)
Anyway, how is dear Hobbitellinarina?
I would like to announce then that Hobbit's tail is almost completely better, and her fur is even starting to regrow :)
A miracle of veterinary medicine!
i will ask the pharmasist the next time I go there... they so more schooling than pharmasists in the US so they can SUGGEST things to take
No need to change, put the swans up yesterday. Got stuck on Sprite's profile, but hubby got me out.
it took 13 days of antibios!
crossy, have you visited www.baconinstitute.com ?
OKay, 13 days of miraculous veterinary antibiotics!
Your swans are lovely, Inge.
good for Hobbit! :o)
thank you kje
it was the vet love that did it really, of course
oodle - still, the best thing is to avoid getting that way to begin with, start a regular bowel regimen
I have trouble spotting my icon. I am so used to RED
Absolutely. They have extra training in dogbedside manners.
Hello inge!
if you want the convo to go downhill from Oodle's, I can happily tell you about my dream last night
I just ate too much cheese... and need more fiber... and water ...didn't watch it
but still! 13 days. that's a lot of antibios for a small dog. must have been a particularly tenacious infection
How can I be diplomatic?
LOL - we'll accept that challenge, ata
so yes ty kje
there is no downhill from Oodle's.
if for no other reason, to get some ammo - LOL
Or, to quote Victoria Wood's Kitty 'What would the Queen mum do?'
???? hego
goog thing I'm not the Queen Mom
Sorry
No, think of all the gin you'd have to drink.
And your debts!
Not to mention wearing hats and fishing for salmon the whole time.
ok enough end of story... I am better and lesson learnt
adios... must do something today
hagd kje
Bye, kje.
kje! you can;t go yet!
Bye KJE
no-one else will want to hear my horrid medical dream!
*sigh*
kje must not want to hear your dream. Are the rest of us non-squeamish enough to cope?
Is it gory?
i'd love to hear it ata (and have spent the last ten minutes trying to figure out how to get pictures from my droid phone onto the computer... sorry... the mangroves are here but i just can't share)
no more than anything you hear from Mr Haz!!
In Germany this day is called Sylesterabend. He was today
You can rely on Dorens, I've always said that.
patron saint, I guess
Oh well, I'm used to hearing all sorts of things, usually at meal times. It's the others I'm worried about.
lol, I was obviously talking to sister too much yesterday. dreamt that I had this spot just behind my collarbone, and I squeezed it and the normal spot gunk came out, then I squeezed it again, and this huge wave of pus with mouldy bits floating in it came out (you know like the mould rafts that end up floating on old tea?) and after cleaning it up there was a clear passage straight down from my collar bone area to my heart, I could see it beating (that's straight from sister! - you can see her heart beating through her major wound). Anyway, so I thought I'd better go to hospital, adn got patched up and ended up on Project Runway. but ew!!
went through four years of med school, etc with ex husband... and my son as well
Hey, we have a relevant word for the period that's ending tonight!
Dorens, where are you?
I wouldn't say that, Kaplan ...
And did you win Project Runway?
This is debatable, Kaplan, harpjane doesn't agree that it's the end of one.
i'm in saniel.... and that is such an interesting, analyzable dream ata!
woke up just as the final was going to start LOL
sorry... saniBel (fl). and i've never watched project runway, so that part is beyond me
I very rarely have dreams that relate so clearly to sister. very odd
But you got to the final. I say the mouldy bits are the parts of your life you want rid of.
Kaplan's got Maynard G Krebs!!!
Bye, Happy New Year to all
that sounds promising!
Bye Inge
i just woke up going EWWWW!
Bye, inge, happy new year to you!
That's right, Hego
*pokes haz and ata* hello ladies. :)
"You rang?"
Sanibel is lovely Dorens. Have a good time.
And did D mind you saying 'Ewwww'? Did he take it personally?
eeeeeeva!
Hello EvaN!
and hello hego, inge, dorens and anyone else i may have missed. :)
he was fast asleep!
I think we're on the same wavelegth Kap
thoroughly enjoying it hego. and bonus... was supposed to rain today and it isn't.. home to snow tomorrow though
I wonder what wavelength that might be?
The weird one. ;-)
wavelength would yield lots of babble points.
You betcha, as Sarah would say.
if the wave length is of Facebook it is the Twilight wavelength
you are NEVER in contro of your computer... you give up that right everytime you log in
Same era anyway. Soupy and Maynard, etc.
can anyone tell me simply how to upload photos from cell phone to computer?
how is La Glitterata? Is she getting New Year's Eve treats?
Not me
La Glitteratainellarinabellindarina is well - hoping that there won't be any fireworks!
awwww does she howl?
She bolts under the desk and refuses to move.
all I know is that you need a wire going from your phone to your computer
poor darling!
I do it from my camera to my computer but I am prompted once I am connected
i have a wire.. but not seeing any prompts. well the mangrove pics will have to wait until i'm home and have my son to help out... he is whiz at this... ken and I are NOT
cell phone to computer dorens, do you have a card in your cell phone?
i'm pretty sure i do seaspray
well my guess the prompts will be on your cell phone and not your puter as they are on my camera
but my iphone doesn't seem to know that there are pictures plugged in right now
mine has a miniature sd card, you have to move the photos to that card and then there is an adaptor that you... oh, mine is not a iphone, nm sorry
*apologies for saying hello + disappearing -- mother-darling always calls at just the right time!*
You've got an iphone? You're really trendy, Dorens. They look complicated.
daughters fiance has one, i could ask him if you like
You're forgiven, EvaN. Always speak to your mother, you'll find she's right about most things.
mine isn't
this is what I got from answers.com : With an Iphone, all you need is an ipod/iphone usb cable. You plug it in to tour computer, and there's a couple different folders. One of them has all your pictures stored on them. From there you just copy and paste.
(it is a droid, not an iphone)-- meant to say my macbook doesn't know... but i've just found that the droid did give me a prompt.. just didn't know where to look. it IS a complicated phone
Can anyone clue the re7 please
i am lucky to operate the phone i have lol
ohhh
Are droids trendy as well?
kewel dorens then I hope it works
re7 - operated the car again
name a Star Wars droid, Haz :)
oh even trendier haz.... they're google phones
Let me think. (let me google)
That funny ugly thing?
The one who is good but doesn't look so hot?
i ws able to send a pic from mangroves directly from my phone to facebook, and got a comment from evanout before i even got into the car to go home
Thanks Haz
<~~~ got a Droid for christmas. :)
You're welcome, Norma.
yes, haz, my mother IS right about most things. except when shes experiencing a Senior Moment...heh
Good morning, loves! Nice pic of Sanibel, Dorens. I'm jealous. We got 2 1/2 inches of snow last night.
Norma - did you pick up my message? - Hi everyone
Hurshy would be so disappointed
i've succeeded in sending three pics i took when i first got the phone to the iphoto on the computer... but not the more recent ones.. .i'm sure they're somewhere on this card, and i have no idea. well, eva! you enjoy it... bet you can do more with it than i can
I know. I've failed in my Star Wars lessons, haven't I?
the Droid is almost identical to the G1, which is what Chris has. so i learn from him. :)
you have *sigh*
To the dark side with you, Haz.
What message Mari ??
YAY DORNES
ooh! ooh! droid = C3PO?
(aka, tony blair?)
R2D2 and C3PO!
oh
i can only learn from myson who live far far away. speaking of far, far away.. Haz.. do you remember those cute little things that accompanied luke?
Eva knows everything
yes, she's got it!
didn't read all of it dorens DUH
she doesn't even know who *Luke* is Doren :)
on your answer machine
Luke Skywalker?
*smug*
*lifts rock off of Haz* C'mon out now and see the rest of the world, honey.
im not a big star wars buff. i very easily could have gotten that one wrong!
omg!
smug? she dares be smug when ata is around?
*faints*
HI JUDI
But it's so bright and complicated!
OOPS
with 41 words left and no mangrove pics uploaded, the beach is calling! see you later
I've confessed before that I've never watched ANY of the Star Wars films nor Star Trek nor Lord of the Rings.
Hi, Oodle. *accepts being thrust aside by smugness*
See you, Dorens.
smugness how?
bbye dorens
you really really should, dear
didn't seeyou come in cause I was in a convo and I was in my grid
especially LotR, they have pretty music and pretty scenery
Your are not smug, oodle. Haz was attempting to be smug. Ata fainted from temporarily having the smugness sucked out of her airspace.
i havent seen any of the originals since i was a wee lass. and i never saw any of the prequels. *said very quickly + hides under a rock to escape the wrath of Ata*
oh ok
Yes, but all those names and characters and general weirdness. Is it worth the scenery for that?
bad Haz
I know. The dynamics are just so complicated.
honestly? yes
CSI has more names and complications!
But that's because you like it. I need to speak to an impartial source.
CSI has pretty people!
Oh, ata. Your poor dog and the cone of shame. She looks mortified.
my mum loved the films and she loathed the books
the Cone of Shame is no more :D
so does LotR!!!
I'm off. Time for brunch. BBL.
See you later, Judi.
LotR has pretty horses
ok break time
But does it not have those small hairy people as well?
I swore I would never see the films, and that I would hate them all. I absolutely adored them
temporary poof
yes, but you should be used to that in NI
I know. That's true.
Harry Potter passed me by as well. I may as well get all the confessions out in the open.
I haven't seen half the HP films either
nor the new star trek ones
And how are you doing with the grid?
but out of all the films you haevnt seen, Haz, I would expect that you could actually enjoy the LotR ones
c
My daughter was the right age for waiting impatiently for each new HP-she said it was like her generation's Beatles.
I say not really
Haz has not read HP. I'm surprised!
Good afternoon/whatever everyone.
hi Sally!
Hi Sally
Hi Ata! and hego!
No, hego, it hasn't appealed although it has captured the imagination of young and not so young.
as one of the not so, I have to say I loved them. Just good stories.
Looks back in chog. I read the first HP for education, and I have to say I thoiught it was a very good concept but very badly written. The films were good though.
Bought me back to my Lewis Carroll days.
A friend credits HP for encouraging her son to re4 when he had steadfastly turned his back on everything else.
I loved her sense of humor, Sally.
Yes, it was just the actual writing I didn't like. The films of course brought it to life, thoiugh I haven't seen all of them.
But I've always adored the Brit sense of humor.
A friend of mine has HP in Latin, and I might try one of those just for fun.
I don't think my O-level Latin would be sufficient for tackling Harrius Potterus.
my mrs love harry potter series
HP has done a lot of good, if it's still not the best writing or anything
Perhaps I should give them another go.
How is Elegant?
g'morning
But it would be fun Haz!
she is fine,just making up a nice batch of egg salad sammies;)
I have Asterix in Latin, great fun.
There are better kids series like HP out there, Sally
lol! i remember asterix the gaul!!
Visitor. brb
I'd have to revise my declensions. Painful at my age, though I have to say that learning by rote has its good points, I can still rhyme off Latin verbs.
Good morning, specificity.
so, haz, did you hear that methinks we have found ourselves a wedding venue?
better go accomplish something. Happy New Year All!
Oh! How nice for you, date fixed and everything?
Will you have wedding and reception in the same place?
Happy New Year, hego!
we havent signed the contract, but i think we will within the next week or so. will have the ceremony + reception in the same place. we went yesterday with our mothers + saw a few places + we all agreed that we all love this one site. :)
I think you've just traumatised Eva with the barrage of questions
Well, if everyone's happy, go for it!
lol,when i think back,im glad we ran off and had a small wedding,left them all standing there trying to plan our wedding and our lives..was great fun;)
this is the gallery for the site: http://mountairymansion.org/gall ery.html
Anything with the word mansion in it sounds promising.
beautiful!
found this nice place for the honeymoon..was the only time ive ever eaten king crab legs neeked in bed;) we ended up all covered in garlic butter and champers;0
It looks lovely, EvaN.
everyone: *stunned into silence*
lol i have that effect
The decor in the garden room looks wonderful.
safer to go back to eva,s plans;)
Not a garlicky king crab in sight....
our 20th is coming up,im going to have to do an encore;)
king crab is sooooo good
whats so great about the site is that it has its own charm + you really dont need to do very much to it to make it your own.
I wonder if Elegant knows what's on the menu....
especially neeked with a 24 year old wife;)))))) best crab legs ever
It's very classy looking, EvaN.
nope,im going to set up in the same place
crossy, im sure your wife wouldnt appreciate you describing her legs that way. ;)
lol
tis! it's gorgeous, Eva
sigh..and another anniversary band,woman is goona need a longer ring finger;((
Do you want to set up a wee fund among babblers to help pay for it?
the boxwoods out front are400 years old -- a gift from George Washington when his stepson married the owners daughter!
EvaN's wedding, not Elegant's ring!
wow!
sounds good haz -- we can use all the help we can get!
lol dont worry bout us,woman is spoiled enough already, get eva set up lol
how many for the wedding eva?
about 150. maybe fewer, but not more.
wow a big one
he has a large family. my parents have a lot of friends who we pretty much consider to be family.
Visitors arrived! Back later...
do what the itallians do,get all of them to pop 200 bux in an envelope and your covered;)
heh, hopefully they will. ;)
i knew a young itallian couple,they had 400 at the wedding and at the end of the night,they had enough for thier first house lol
yes, please!
the average donation was 2-300 dollarsx 200 couples:)
I need a divorce party like that
lol ata
Hobbit and I are going to have to swim to america at this rate!
if you get up here ata i have a nice chalet for you and hobbit at the base of blue mtn;) for the weekend
just get hobbit better-trained and you can strap yourself to his back. :)
she's getting old, poor girl!
you can look out the livingroom window and watch the skiiers destroy themselves
he? why did i just blaspheme + refer to hobbit as male? i think one of my mothers senior moments just struck me...
loooool I was wondering if you'd gone temporarily bewildered :P
methinks my brain is pouring our non-wedding-related minor details to make room for the ones i will need to have on-hand during the next 11 months!
i thought voure was a word;((
10 months. of my. just 10, not 11!
phantom: epilegomenon
lol try and plural it br,it may help lol
it does happen like that eva!
thats the problem with big wedding with a long build up time.by the time it comes around everyone is a babbling head case lol
thats why you see all those videos of everyone passing out at the alater;0
yep lol. if you don't hate the whole concept of the day, you#'re not trying hard enough
i like what i told the mrs at the time"i dont want to know anythin about it.just give me 20 minutes warning to comb my hair and put the tux on" lol
i kinda wish chris felt that way! he keeps saying he wants to voice his opinion, but when i ask for it, he doesnt give it to me. i have to beat him over the head with something before he tells me anything! would be much easier if he didnt care. ;)
safer too,i didnt want to be blamed for a mix up
hi
he'll get bored soon enough, D did
howdy weifer
yo
My hubby said he didn't care and then was asking about everything I had planned
not to worry eve,once you and your girl friends spend 22 hours trying to match the flower arrangements with the dresses,we will leave you to it lol
he even
lol D couldn't have cared less for most of the planning, then whined after that he'd have done it all differently
The truths which are ultimately accepted as the first principles of a science, are really the last results of metaphysical analysis, practised on the elementary notions with which the science is conversant;
indeed br
we eloped... and had a big party after we survived a year of marital "bliss" bah, humbug
hey BR
hello all
just enjoy Eva- It will go way faster than you think
good morning Stid
i am new to babble. my aunt is showing me how to play. I am also olny 7 years old. However, I am related to minveryork one of the best cluers...
how's the grid today?
the only difference between science and magic is the date
welcome Wenifer
hello wenifer, welcome.
there is only a single truth in science br.most important things are not discovered on purpose instead of "eureka" its more like "mow thats funny..." lol
now even
the grid has few challenges and is generally user friendly
is this grid magic atalante? should I put it down and read the textbooks (which I need to do anyway)?
lol i like that ata
Crossy- you just like typing th eword " even" right? : )
ah, thanks BR. okayt, will get a few words (ten minutes) and tnen study. *splashes into grid*
* the word... even
i am not a cowboy
I havent even tried it stiddy LOL. just been chatting :D
lol i do that dr,cause expert will not send a single word to the chog,hence the 'even" lol
I know.. I was teasing
((Atalante)) is hobbit better?
yes! 99% :) hurray! her fur's starting to grow back :)
Once you find all the words you can stop searching if you want to
thanks BR! LOL
it has already gone by so quickly! can you all believe ive already been engaged for 4 months?!
lol br,i always try to blow the program up by finding one more
I am glad she is getting better. nothing as sad I think as a dog with an elizabethan collar.
that has gone by fast Eva
oh I know. especially spaniels with those *eyes*
up to 32 words already, so far not bad...
we almost killed our engagement when i found out the mrs squeezed the toothpaste tube in the middle!! thats when the tubes were meta and you couldnt get the creae out of it after..grr
metal
crease
my tom feels the same way still cross -- we use separate tubes of toothpaste now though because of my allergies.
lol- my hubby said I hung his shirts the wrong way... I am left handed- he is right handed... almost caused an international incident...
lol
he now hangs his own shirts
we had a row once on the methods of peeling boiled eggs;))
chris does like to tell me "dont break my stuff" meanwhile, he has lost/broken several of my things, including getting into a wreck with my old car! dontt hink i have ever broken anything of his...
sounds familiar!
hm. MEN. *stern mama look*
*excepting cross and BR today*
I am in that mood today Stid!
wife has been tring for 20 years now to get me to throw out what she calls "those dusty old records" but im wearing her down i think
I don't mind keeping the records, but keeping a non-functional record player for 15 years *remember we don't have storage space*...
women generally tell me to come again when I don't have so long to stay .... soooooo
rofl BR!
im getting better that way stid.i use the guideline on those tv home decorating shows"if it has not been used in one year,toss it or sell it"
okay, help to NBT? the N on the right please, and the E above the bottom C?

ta is mexican food
third letter is a high score tile scrabs
goes from the F in the left column
TY! I have been ignoring that letter.
yw, so you are getting someone else hooked on babble!
I don't think I got her interested. Just more confirmation to her that I am a geek + nerd.
I like being a geek and a nerd
Me too! I am proud of my geekdom, nerdiness + dorkability.
I just aspire to dorkability
Today's dorkability achievement = nurse notifying me, after I already had seen a patient/family, that my pant zipper was wide open.
LOL
Hey, at least my socks and shoes are matching one another
(counts pens in Scrabs pocket)
(with plastic protector)
Just 1 in right pan pocket, with pile of prescriptions in back pocket, stethoscope around neck...Hi Ruru!
ruru your santa outfit on the pup is adorable
..and beeper clipped to waist of pants, smartphone in another pocket
Did you decide on a puppy and name yet, Ru?
yes..
thank you chrissie.. I am seeing him sunday again
Is it topsecret info?
I am calling him Dylan
So you settled on the boy and Dylan! Wooo hooo!
does he act like a stoned rabbit?
Hi Ata!
(he may mumble a bit however)
I've got 2 yorkshire terriers. We think one was sulking 'cos we had a lie in so she pinched a musical Christmas teddy and buried it in the garden. Kids!
My rabbits have never been stoned--their grass = non-MJ containing
Silly dog, Chris
My pup is rejoicing
Freedom from the Cone of Shame!
why Ata
Great news, Ata!
anyone have the first ce?
and a happy little tail again!
at least you decorated her
ce5/15 type of tree
*giggle* oh yes
I have ce4, ce5, ce4
(OMG)
TY, Chris
thank you...
(now feels dorky)
yw
That is one of those words that I miss all of the time.
I always miss the volcano
it's just a phantom in this grid
I miss asea...I finally see fe4 (cheese)
and there are others
fe4 to go with the ta4 and fa7, mmmmm
Oh, no, lunch hour is ov4. I have all sick kids this afternoon. I hope it quiets down so that we can go home early. Bye all.

good luck with the sick kids!
finished here. Happy New Year to one and all. Back in 2010.

Hi Dorens Happy New Year

I am cooking a nice dinner for my friends in from NYC
thx ruru - it took awhile to get your clue lol
yw
we have eaten out everynight this week...staying in tonight
Oh you lucky thing, although I am having lunch out tomorrow..........no dishes to do yippeee!!
ruru can I pop over please
I asked husband to go buy something nice for dinner. he came back with an Asda value price lasagna. Not quite what I had in mind
LOL Ata That is so typical of some men!!
you didn't specify that YOU needed to find it nice.... and obviously HE thought that was.
sure.. crabcakes/champagne ...seared Halibut filets with taragon /beurre blanc and roasted squash and Faro salad (from Ad HOc Cook book)
see? That's more like it!
sounds delicious ruru. and what wine will you serve with that?
I will be there as you dish up the 1st course ruru
probably a Pouilly Fume 2007
i love pouilly fumé-- i thought of you last week...drinking beaucastel '89
Ata I have soup followed by steak with salad, nothing like ruru but you are welcome
rouge?
at least we have champagne. cos *I* bought some!
well enjoy the champers, dear girl!
I have a nice champagne and not too expensive either
yes, didn't know they have a blanc
Give him a can of lager to go with the lasagne and you keep the bubbly
just finished the f's..brutal
going to!
LOL
They make a great blanc too and an old vine Roussane
I sold a lot of the 1989 Rouge in my day
your hubby must be quite the collector
i'll have to check ken's cellar and see if he has any. oh my goodness that rouge was sublime.
Here's the choice- Babble or shovel?
It was Wine of the Year that year.
Well my dear friends I must get going.I really hope you and your families have a Happy New Year, see you all in 2010 bye
he's not quite a hubby, but he is certainly a serious collector.... was much more so back in the 80's when he was making millions on wall st.
I tasted components of it in tank with Francois
was the first rhone that parker rated 100
*hugs hugs cait* happy new year!
bye caittlyn

nope, didn't notice it at all nef
I seem to be entering more *non-words* that WORDS today; good thing we can't see stats on that! :-)
i've often wondered about that... would be terrible if our guesses were factored into our stats!
very true! What a frightening thought -but (to me at least) it would be worse to have others see our errors
well, ten left and a nice sunny beach beckons. happy babbles, see you later, and if not.. happy new year
bye Dorens! Same to you! Enjoy the sun; we have sun here too but it's only 10 degrees (F)

torg - yes, af5 x 3 from the top A
other than that, i'm fine. came home from work after i stopped shaking and once the cold sweats stopped
oo welki! *runs for the ice pack*
ouch, welki!
I'll give that a 9.9, with a deduction for the dismount.
hi rbud
hope you are okay welki! :)
hi jess
hi jmc
anyone want some of my warm sangria?
sounds intriguing, jmc, is it tasty?
you know how stupid you feel when that happens? when you're all stretched out on the sidewalk like a beached whale and too scared to even try to get up?
Hi guys!
hahahaha, was almost to the point where people might have had to walk around me ... but a nice fella helped me up :)
hi kimm
sangria v. naproxen .... hmmm
poor thing! and yes I know the feeling
Did you break it, welki??
my fault for it, too ... a girl was blocking the sidewalk so no one could pass and i tried to walk around her, caught my foot on the bolts of a light pole footing (how appropos) and off to the races!
probably not, kimm .. i have mobility. i've broken my ankles before, this doesn't feel like that. made promises to the world that yes, i will go for x-rays tomorrow if no relief
and are you off work for the weekend so you can recuperate a bit?
off for the weekend and a wee bit upset that my plans have now officially circled the drain
awww, guess we'll be seeing a lot of you, maybe? ;)

you certainly do look terribly young, JBV, got an ID card?
[turning around for the full 360 picture] thank you jmc

funny you should say that, rbud, i think it's so silly they ask me for my date of birth when I buy pipe tobacco for hubby
*hands jbv a cap to keep her hair dry
not the foil one, jm .. she'll ruin her 'do'
new to babble, help! what's U 0/1?

hi gloria, means there's one U word and you don't have it yet
the help ^ above is really useful
*giggle!*
snap jbv
any clues out there?
It means there's one word from that tile and so far you have 0 .. and Welcome!
*puts on foil cap*
hey torg you coming in the hot tub?
yeah, c'mon in, torg!
Any cabana girls?
well if you ask for clues we will give them as long as you don't ask for a clue for every word
for example. the U word is pee
i think we can dream one up for you
as many as you'd like, torg
unless jm is up for the task? jm? ever done the cabana girl thing?
you know we need to get cabana girls but I thought you guys were already outnumbered
Neither of the cabana boys really do it for me ..
i'll pass on the hot tub, i'd like my hair to look nice for a few hours at least
blonde or brunette
I have watched daughter play so I have some idea of how it works. thanks.
Not picky on hair color ..

way off the beaten track here, but am wondering if anyone remembers the day we had the conversation about names and funny combinations? We have a annual New Year's brunch and reading the chat conversation would be comical I am sure. i jsut can't find it - thought it was around 8:30 am one day. Thanks for anyone who can help. Happy New Year to all!
o soo true I am soooo nymph like at 215 pounds
sorry read
very svelte, jmc!
RKB i remember that it was within the past 10 days
if that's any help
if you can remember one of the odder ones you can use the find under edit on each of the last 10 days and find it quickly
hi jac
I thought so too - I must have the wrong time, because I have combed the last two weeks, but will do so again. Thanks.
I remember that RKB but have no idea what day it was
dec 20 at about 7:45 am
well done welki
brb I want to re4 it
it was night time here i think, here right now it's 21:24 pm and my babble time shows as 3:24pm
check it out read and let me know if that's the right chat
I found it also...You are all awesome...I didn;t know one could do a search. Great new info!
welki I didn't know about the Find function - thanks
that is sometimes how i find clues on the day
welki come join me in the pb
Must work to find clues we might have missed - just realized you said that JM
*grabs her sangria and hops into pb with jm*
I use the "find" all the time to find people not online - use it on the "rankings" page (like when someone says a list was posted by so-and-so when there's no Lickety)
i use it there too rbud
Happy New Year's Eve here - hope to see you all tomorrow.
happy new year re4!
i didn't use the find function. i heard that someone said it couldn't have been more than 10 days ago .. and you said the time ... so i looked in 11 days ago, and hour earlier and there it was
welki, PI
happy new year to you, too, Read, have a lovely brunch!
hi all!
it's what i do. just the facts, ma'am, just the facts
great deductive powers, welki!
hi nrkii
hi, nrkii!

Happy New Year to all.

I am always happy to see lurkers coming out and being brave enough to step up. It took me forever
I'm not a confirmed lurker, I do pop in now and then to chat
Just read what you learned in 2008 pythonx. Are you planning to update it now that 2009 is closing?
i have been thinking of that, but i need to do some thinking to decide what i learned in 2009
are you making any new year's resolutions, bugs?
I learned the origin of the phrase "cold turkey"
do tell, dan
did you quit smoking?
hello babblers
hi owl
The ov8 is LAME!

You are TOO DARLING for me!
Not to happen to hear a conversation in the next room- change one letter

Or TOO EXPENSIVE! Think that's more UK use.
Oh you Brits- can't you learn English?
lol
Happy New Year all

Any plans TO?
Anyone need clues before I go shopping for munchies for later?

Does anyone babble on New Year's or is that too embarrassing
buddies at concert going to dinner and invited me
I am celebrating solo this year.
i will babble tonight kap
sounds cool TO
FIIIIII! :)
Kaplan - babble keeps going 24/7 :)
It's only a date, Kaplan
I don't like the party we usually go to and I don't like to stay up late.
Ata!!!! how lovely to see you!
I think only young people are embarassed if they don't have something exciting to do
lol kap then you can ring it in with our brit firends here
we watch movies with brother in law and wife. Very laid back
I may be here then. I like to watch movies but DH likes to socialize
I just sneaked upstairs :)
ata! how are you feeling dear?
hi ata! happy new year!!!!!
horrid flu-ey day. but at least it was the first I've had for a good week or so!
Hi everyone!
(((Ata)))
Hey Brookie.
hi brooke
don't you have 15 more minutes in uk?
hi ata
No, oodle, an hour and a quarter
an hour and 15 oodle - it is 22.47 here.
hi FM, JMC
oh ok ty
hi oodle
can anyone clue me for ai/5 -10
Will you celebrate the end of the de+**** with a ca**** of wine?
Ai 5- the 8th letter of the alphabet
Just watched the news with the fireworkds in the sourthern hemesphere - always makes me feel the moment is near.
aerie
!
can you clue the last two af 5?
ty TO!
I love it when other people do that.
10 years ago I was in London celebrating madly
thank you Kaplan
oh don't take me down memory lane Ata.
i intend to be celebrating with a so next year
"What a long strange trip it's been"
sorry! :)
I did Trafalgar Square 30 years ago - was brill.
i did disney on nye. like times square without the alcohol
we were down by the London Eye for the Millennium. Total madness
af5? the last 2?
Will you guys focus on the grid and stop thinking about life and time?
lol sorry Kaplan
i did the millennium at the mall with the president and Will Smith
FM, your next year is going to be one of the best ever. You deserve it dearest
af 5, af+mine's lode
thank you hun :))
TY- one more?
you and I are going to get Haz over from Ireland and we will have a babble party.
actually the new de6 does not begin until 2011
and if it isn't, I'm going to come down and kick it until it is. or let Hobbit guilt it into being good with the Spaniel Eyes of Doom
absolutely
This is true, but you can pour a ca**** anyway.
that sounds great FM
of course all babblers will be welcome!
this grid is a b5
or should i say a b+it4.6
hey babblers
it worked the first way :-)
I am having trouble with the ar5's too.
can i have a clue for the ca5/12 before the vase of wine please?
hey gort!
how ya doin jmc?
gort - small river vessel
i have news: i am in the new year and so far, exactly like old year
A native american vessel
of course, thanks ori
yw!
thanks kap, was looking at the wrong c
And you can past-tense it, but you can't be a ca**er
after a ca6/30, that could pass for a metaphor for life
LOL my new year's greeting on FB is the following: I suppose I should add my voice to the choruses of "Happy New Year". May 2010 bring everyone all they dreamed of. Though always be careful what wish for ;) This may include some of all of the following: a TV series, cocker spaniels, new housemates, men who aren't an hour and a half late for meals, new kittens, health, ...ability to find babblets and the ability to understand enable. I realise, of course, that the last is an impossibility :)
Ata - can you try yahoo chat as I am just uploading the prog.
gor, you must go to sleep. mthen you will wake up and the new year will beign. like chirstmas, santa won't come if you are up
lol temp
like the middle colummn e. it won't come for anything
*trying*
lol ata!
*grin*
TO think of a volcanic event and drop one letter for er5

mmmm shrimp
hello all. *stomping around* MEN! *stomping around and throwing and breaking things*
i have ov8 -- what does the other 8 start with?
how is YOUR day going? *stomping some more and looking for choclits in the sofa cushions*
ca 8/50
fireworks for me also, finally, and a Happy New Year to all. Resolution: must do the treadmill b/4 babble. see how long that lasts. other 8 is a ca8/50
*puts on foil hat and hides in corner*
hi stid, quick give stid some choclit
YAY Mary!
ty stiddie *in small voice*
*grumble* WHY!!!!!??????
whoo hooo mary!
ty all, jmc aren't you cooking?
heres some champagne and some chocolite stiddie
*cowering*
we got a notice from the stidkid's college that he needed to pay a fee or be dropped from all his classes. I gave the paper to TOM to pay... was told he had done it. HE HADN'T. AND NOW..... *shaky voice* ARRRRRRRR!
not me mary!
too cute, bye all
my boy is going out -- I'm eatung leftov4s
I had the time and the ability to have taken care of this if TOM HAD ONLY LET ME KNOW!
classes start on Tuesday for the kiddo.
later Mary.
so you pay it on monday and he reregisters
and now it is too late for me to do anything about it until next Monday.
It's going to be a big hassle. He's a running start student (the state pays for him to take classes while in high school). So we can't just waltz in and do it.
my son reregistered multiple times because his financial aid was always getting screwed up
blast it all... *whimper*
you know you will have to kill Tom
we will all be here to give you an alabi
I know it's possible, jmc. It's just that none of the facilities are in easy walking distance from the parking for me. It's a HASSLE. And it should have been a no-brainer -- log into the website, pay by credit card.
so he isn't even going to fall behind in college because he is not in college yet
LOL Andree!!!! *considers merits of this idea*
I went through several kinds of hell when my daughter was in college and her father was busy messing up everything.
he is at evergreen too?
my son messed things up just fine without a father
I got so crzy one time I threw the phone on the floor and stomped on it until it shattered. I felt much better after I did that.
hi gail
no, the community college. Evergreen doesn't do running start (if they did, I would know who to call and how to get things done)
Hi.
hey gail. at least I am not the only one.
i had to drive 8 hours to Asheville with a herniated disk so the drive took 12 hours to fix my sons tuition one fall
co6/30 please?
Her senior year, they decided I had to go with goverment loans and they used a different credit bureau and found a debt he hadn't paid and I lost all her funding.
but it was the school that screwed it up
oh no jmc. that is awful.
gee gail, that's rotten!
TO I always wanted a a red convertable co***tt*
don't have that one yet TO, just the co 6/24
that is terrible gail
oooh. great clue jmc
ty. so did prince
*curtsies*
But after I got a new phone, I called the place he owed the money to and they fixed it up for me and we got in done the day before classes began.
brb phone
good job gail
good for you gail.
I got lucky and got a woman who looked into it and said that just because he was a jerk, we shouldn't have to pay, so she fixed it all. She didn't have to do it, but she just did. I almost fainted.
that was so kind of her. It's nice to run into people like that!
i find you can often find someone to help if you are clear and polite
It so rarely happens, it was really a miracle when we needed one.
Yep, staying calm and polite usually works. If not, then I lose it and scream at them.
i have learned to up it with speaking tersely and clearly
is the OV 8 compound?
yes stiddie
thanks jmc. *considers options*
hi -- back from checking email -- bummer, stid!
GOT IT!
wtg stiddie
now must go and attend to removing a spot on a fancy sweater -- back soon.
hey jill. yes. I suspect Tom is feeling pretty rotten about it right now. I called him, told him to call the college and find out how to re-enroll the kiddo. I was REALLY MAD
hb jill
well if he does that you can't kill him
fa6/17 pls?
maybe rough him up a bit
bbl
later jmc (((hugs))) thanks for that.
My ex left the middle of my daughter's freshman year of college and told her he didn't care if she finished school, his girlfriend's kids were more important. I made up my mind she would stay in school and I got her through, and then he shows up for her graduation acting like he did it all.
sounds like you were well rid of him gail!
Yes, I was. His girlfriend dumped him once she had him.
ha. he sounds like such a PRINCE! *yuck face*
can someone please clue the fa6/27? ty

Happy New Year to all who missed my first batch of wishes.
nan, my neighbours just invited me to go over and celebrate along with some of their family, and I just don't want to! I've had enough partying (Xmas, and a 3-6 pm do at a friend's on Tuesday) and just want a quiet evening at home. .

ty joanne sorry to be so dense
SPRITELY!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
hi sprite!
np i suck at cluing anyway lol
HNY sprite!
Phone call = 6 yr old with vomiting/diarrhea--now blood from both ends---> going to ED but family is out of town.
Hi sprite
how are you doing in the netherlands? and I have a culture question for you at some point sprite, if you are up to representing your country's customs...
oh no, that sounds really bad, scrabs
ew1
wow! hope he is okay
ew! good luck with that, Scrabbler
hope the child will be okay, Scrabs :(
scrabbler - the little girl is not with her family? (just trying to understand)
Yep, that kid needs blood work, IV...not fun for kids or parents when out of town and on NYE
what is NYE?
ca 5,12?
go ahead, stid, if it isn't something long? Because if it is, please put it in an email. (it is 2.30 am here and i think I need sleep)
oo doubly poor thing
poor baby! thank God you are there!
Happy New Year everyone!!x
Family is out of town for Christmas vacation so they will go to local ED. NYE = New Year's Eve
a boat eno
ca5/12 is a simple boat
hi lilli
Happy New Year cheeky lil !!!!
Hi lil
happy new year lilliann
I am blind I am blind! ty... :)
but the girl is out of town with her?
lillll Happy New Years!!!
*them?
okay, thanks scrabs! *shaking head at abbreviation mania that sweeps the nation*
Yes, little boy is out of town with family. It is even tougher on families when they must seek medical care for their child in a different town
jooo, how's your grand bairn doing??
I don't usually use the abbrev but tonight I am
okay sprite: Mother and I have noticed that in some cultures (Irish, Coast Salish) a person who is talking about people includes the relationship of the people to the story (My mother's first cousin's daughter just had a baby; we went to Seattle, where the Duwamish used to be)
stiddie, what will it be? :) Short and now, or longer and through email? Am rather sleepy, grin, and must be up early for Terra.
it is fine scrabs -- glad the child is with parents
is that the same in the netherlands?
i've not been on for months but wanted to wish my babble friends a g ood new year and hope all goes well for you all in 2010
too scary if not with parents
sorry it took so long sprite, my figners are already sleepy!
and if you want to reply by email, that is okay!!!!
glad you came by lill
lill great
here right now
to you too Lillian and ty!
sleeping like a quiet little bairn hehe
((((lillian)))) Happy New Year -- I hope 2010 will be lovely for you and your family!
lol no problem stiddie, our posts crossed. Let me see if I get you straight: you mean if I want to tell you something about a person you don't know, would I tell you my relationship to that person?
ca 6,30? (I really am blind tonight...)
yes! would you feel it appropriate to place yourself or the person for the listener?
something you pour wine in and out, Eno
WE do in our family (Irish) and the Coast Salish do (the local indigenous people) but many people don't.
you should decant wine into a ca6/30
hello babble friends! just popping in quickly to wish you all a very happy, peaceful, and safe new year!

LOL stid. he is a biomedical engineer -- no jobs out there
*problem
our elder son keeps talking about getting a job, but I really want him to focus on schoolwork right now and consider employment in the summer. He tells me that's not convenient because he wants to travel over the summer... so I asked him how he would get the money and... *sigh*

ae4 = Latin way to spell long, long time

my son is working and going to school -- he found out he studied more when he was working and didn't have too much time to play
oooh. that makes it a little harder, knitter -- I suppose just working in a lab as a tech is beneath him at this point? if there were any tech jobs in his area... *heavy sigh* it's rough right now in many fields
Anybody? ..

Hello Angelsong! How are you? Welcome to the chog!
hi angel
hear, hear, jmc!
anyone heard from NancyBoy since he moved in with boyfriend?
yes a couple of times MP
just because the year ends in a ZERO does not mean the "quantity" has been met!
how's he doing
oh yes, he's been here since then
I think that person who ca 5/12s should be accepted
happy as a clam, I gather
he is doing okay
ae5?
I am just fine, thank you, Minver. I'm going to make from-scratch pancakes for breakfast tomorrow, with blueberry syrup
he stillhasn't gotten his dad to accept him but he has a good relation with the beau
good my heart just ached for him..he was in such anguish
ae5, eagle's nest
ae 5/10 is an eagle's nest and also a babblet Pinikula.
eagle nest
he wrote a letter to his dad who tore it up and gave NB all the photos of himself to get them out of the house
it was hard
I am done! I have fireworks!ca6/30 was my last word
thx ;)
whoo hoo min!
wtg min!
YAY min!!!
How sad NB has a dad like that
wow, jmc, didn' t know about the pic situation...
I was hoping to finish puzzle before midnight. Oh well
it is jill
its before midnight somewhere min
I will stick around and help with clues for a little while
I gather his mother is kinder
his mother is willing to communicate with him but on the sly
part of it seems to be cultural
Yes, I've heard about that, jmc.
ai5/14?
H, pini
H pini
snap, jmc ;)
not sure how I got that, but you clues actually made sense!!! LOL
I wanted to tell him about the Dr. Phil show today...Jan Velez-Mitchell was on shw recently came out (2007) and Dr Phil was talking about very young people and their sexual orientaton and giving some helpful info...one was a 24-hr number 1-866-4-u-Trevor...thought maybe it would be helpful to NB
lol jill
if i see him i will mention it but it may not work in GB
ai 5/14: phonetic spelling of the chair letter Pinikula.
I think NB's dad could use some counselling
if it's any consolation, i'm not gay but my parents didn't like my first boyfriend either.
wouldn't NB just need to add the country code to it? or do toll free's not work over there?
oh somehow I thought he was in NY...
NB's in England, too

Luciano sang with various artists i.e. Brian Adams, and Sting, very nice albums...I credit him with bringing opera to some of the young popsters...beautiful songs
