You and me both
i have not been out at all today,im going to have to put in some serious shovel time tommorow to clear the car out
cleared my steps & car 4 times in 24 hrs
now that that's out of the way (NBT!) i can watch a movie....The International with Clive Owen...have a great day /night/eve and will check back in tomorrow...
That's rough.....
back again, just messaging with a friend
bye Pav , enjoy
blows goats
NBT - in no particular order today - too much fun finding the 7s and 8s
hi pug mama - i just looked at chat and see "blows goats" ???
I know Tim's b-day is coming up - if you want to take him to a movie, see "Avatar" - it'll blow you both away.
that's a funny way to put it pugs
dont know if I can can swing the $
ex 6 if not called
had to restock the boys on interceptor & queen fruit loop bounced a check on me
Well, if you can - it was just an idea.
se6/ 7/7
Oh, THAT figures......
yeah right?
so now she owes me 43$ instead of the original 25
She'd better get her act together about that - what was her excuse?
some non specific crap about her bank
really dont care my old bank f***ed me too just want my $
So is your bank gonna hit you with a fee for HER bounced check? She owes you for THAT, too.
of course she had just told me a week b4 she only occassionaly bother to balance her check book
a bounced cheque here is $35.00 now;(
thats why its now 43 instead of the original 25
I never balance mine, but thru telephone banking, and careful monitoring of my ATM receipts, I haven't bounced a check in years!!!!
I told her only cash or $ orders from now on
It just takes a minimum of effort.
i use atm slips as well metfan
Well that's good - now don't hold your breath for your money.
she had also said at that time the week b4 "I buy $ orders because when I use checks I tend to overdraw my acct."
she's turning 31 this month ! GROW UP!
133 down and stalled. Don't know If I'll be back tomorrow -- younger son and wife arriving from Vancouver in the afternoon. :)
I hope you can move soon after it becomes Spring-like, dear.......
have to keep checking with HUD to see when voucher program reopens

well its 01:38 in the morn here,gonna try for some more sleep..gnight babble buddies
how are you ru?
night Cross
Night Crossy
night crossie.
I am okay.. happy to be out of 2009 dee
RE 8 also
poof
how was new years for you dee?
(feels bad for pugs too)
I'm stuck on the re 6 & 7 after the 8 - I have the re5 after that!!!! not sein' it!
quiet, but amazing; guests loved the beef bourguignon
good.. did you use good wine in the sauce.. it makes a difference
Melon - try to grow plants again?
Finally, I can use that joke from "The Nanny" about the Beef Borgnine!!!
se7 npt part of the se 6/7/7
I have that one
yes, told hubby it had to taste great before going in the dish :)
I am finding thou I have to be reallly careful with wines now... developing an allergy to some sulfites
it's the re 6/21 7/32 before that, right after the 8
if you can take benedryl before drinking dee that will help fight the sulfites
that is exactly what I did :)
we used to be able to get sulfite free wines from Lynnfred Winery in Chicao, but now they all seem to have them
But beware if you're allergic to citric acid - it's in Benadryl as a preservative
aww good to know met
I was taking something for allergy which was contributing to my allergy!!!
top r last column... help for nbt please?
definitely not good met
Thank God I no longer have that particular allergy!!!
grass anew
not from that r :(
come up again
sorry - trotted again perhaps
re6.18 got up again
But Citric Acid is used in EVERYTHING these days. I had to learn to read labels carefully.
re + flower dee
are you allergic to citric acid?
aww gracias ru nbt
up again - sorry I'm passing on my mistakes!
(and lynxx)
ty lyn and melon
Not anymore, ruru - my body chemistry changed - but I was for about 15 years.
have that issue with msg now
how interesting
got the re6/7 after the 8 - it's mignonette(s)
I am highly allergic to msg
sometimes it pays to just start typing. . .
Ms. Pug saw me at my worst - couldn't sleep at nite during a visit because everything ITCHED!!!!
have gotten so, too ru
Wow, ruru - do you ever eat Chinese food?
it sucked you couldnt even eat Italian
no can do met..unless I cook it myself
Praise the Lord that part of my life is over!!!!
That bites, ruru
now campbells is taking it out of their soups again; had to buy expensive organic ones for a long time
It's a good thing that big corps are going more "natural and healthy", but I don't quite trust them anyway
more people are allergic to msg than any other ingredient, but grocers wanted extended shelflife; fortunately folks not buying some products has helped
I agree
agree with that
hi -- late flip
Yes, but no MSG means more salt in some cases - fortunately, there's sea salt
(from a guy who used to make twinkies for a living)..lol
Hi jilli@@
salt is salt is salt -- NaCl
hi Jilli
ditto jili; what my allergist says, too
ex 6/36 new word for me
I don't agree jilli
Sea salt supposedly has less sodium in it, or so "they" say....
hi Jilli
first word found, yi4 insult :(
135 down and NBT - I need cu7 & ae7 to have all the biggies and go to bed. Should i know these two words?
nonsense, metfan
it seems to give more taste with a lot less
it may contain other taste-enhancing ingredients
Just much better to use more pepper and other spices for flavor.
I'll pipe in - if you cut back salt gradually, you're less apt to miss the taste. The old standby lemon juice works if you can use it (I haven't been following the caht).
right, melon :)
one more time anyone have the ae7 & cu7?
not yet melon... looking
I rarely use the salt shaker, just use more pepper or Mrs. Dash
not me, melon, I just got here ;)
Sorry, melon
got the cu!
it's too precious by half.
garlic is my best friend in the kitchen
oops, I'm getting days mixed up, sorry Jilli, a day ahead with my icon!!
I'm addicted to V8 at lunchtime -- switched to the les sodium variety and at fist thought ugh, but now love it.
ginger is my new garlic. Corainder seed is my latest spice "regular" too.
Yes, flosey, but it's a cutie!
sexides should be a word...
tks jilli, might as well stay with it now!
love cayenne and cumin here...
or sexoids... androids built for sex
sure, flosey!
ty mel... found the cu
Garlic, garlic, and more garlic!!!!
*whimpers* cant find the cu7
scuse my probable typos -- just back from winey dinner and movie of Julie and Julia with neighbours :)
daughter just introduced me to cardamom (used in carrot soup
it is great on tuna too flosey
with cumin
start with description for a cu... little child ru
ah, thanks ru
cardamom is wonderful! a smidge in espresso or hot chocolate is divine. I'll have to try in carrot soup.
ty melon, I'll try that
oo, I guess I just avoided the PB with my comment to flosey
ae 7... air prefix + past tense of putting butt in a chair
sounds yummy I'll have to try that with tuna
just found it VMD. > halfway, NBT and all 7s and 8s. I'll give clues before I dash, should anyone wish. . .
did you enjoy the movie as much the second time Jilli - I could watch it again, loved it
Got it Mom Dee - Thanks!
TY Volley
yqw
Yes, I did, flosey, and had read the book too
how many re 7's?
O
not finding the cu or the ae..am I blind?
Ruru - melon's comment of too precious by half for the cu7 was a clue!
I'll look for that after I've read this one I have of your's
I loved that movie, too flosey
found the ae
melon, how many re 7's do you have?
now thank you dee
yqw
I have one re7
I knew it was a clue but still didnt find it
cu 7/36... description of a precious little child + 1st 3 letters of name of a brown crayon
i'm not getting that cu clue either!
missing 2 7's hmmm
just 2, and an re8. One of the re7s is not re as prefix, it is the Latin name for a fragrant if unassuming flower.
I got it
ty melon looking
just got it!
the first part is obvious but its the end thats a bugger ---brown crayon?
Hi all
hi Diem
ok got it just tooobeat
it is folksy pugs.. she is a cu7
wtg pug
The end of the CU - Treasure of ***rra Madre
I'm all in - Happy New Year all & niey nite {poof} zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz z
had actually tried that with another S at the end earlier
right ru, am surprised it's accepted
sleep well Melon
now looking for the te 7...
Night, melon
it didnt take the plural so figured was no good
that's what I thought pugs
No its an adj
hi everyone
hi Andree
Hi Andree, haven't seen you in a while
i have been around flosey but not much
is diz still around?
Your new little boy, Ruru - what cu**ness!!!
thank you met.. i am going to see him again on Sunday
she signed off I think Pini...storms around
lol metfan, you might say he's a real cu7
Jilli, please not, I have an icon - no greyhead, thanks to you.
oh...wanted to let her know I sent the email instructions! :)
Why not, flosey?
anyone have the te 7?
so cute ruru, what breed?
Sorry, momdee
golden retriever andree
me neither dee.. I have been looking
yipes found it... ridiculous word... te 5/20 huuuuge state in U.S. and a plural of it... have never seen that before either
Andree 2mins pb
he is divine and sooo cute
fireworks
I was just monkeying for something like that - TY momDee
he is going to be one nice looking dog
4 mins
ugh, thanks volley -- dumb word tho
extremely
yay anike
congrats Anike
since Bush lives there wouldn't end in asses?
clue for that upper right R...didn't get Pav's...
oh my, those huge state words are inded ridiculous but thanks for the lcue!
lmao ruru
yw
re6 - re + flower
toldja I'd do typos
thx ... NBT! :)
this is a much nicer grid than the last
settled on a name yet Ruru
that re6 is pretty silly too
yes.. I will call him Dylan
good name ruru
cool name... fits...
his akc name has to have a pig or pink pig in the name
wooo hooooo Little D!!! (looking forward to new pics!)
when will you bring him home?
so it will be "no swine before its time"
I'm off for a swim - happy babbling
end of January.. he is four weeks old
ROFL!
lol!
night anike
Ruru, he could be Peppermint Pig - we used to get them at Christmastime, when I was a kid.
how divine, anike -- here they do "Polar Bear swims" into icy water.
that does sound cu** Chris
("they" are nuts jilli)
I am confused... why a pig?
why is the porcine reference needed RU?
"Smooth Operator" alert!!!!
kennel name?
The Sire of the litter had a favorite toy ... a pink pig
Saffron Andree
lol cute
and you can't name Dylan after his dad...you have to name him after his toy???
pb pb pb crap
how funny, hugo's favourite is a pink pig he pinched from my grandaughter, he loves that toy
There is a theme to the litter and I have to abide by the breeders request pini
ty for explanation... didn't realize that
gotcha ... not sure the breeder could have made it any harder!!! ;)
The father would shove his head in the toy box and throws toys out of it until he found it
ruru, can you choose the reg name or does the breeder claim that?
my boys had a laundry basket of toys & bones & would climb in to excavate for the desired thing
does it have to start with P?
I can choose the regular name.. dylan is what I have decided on
no
I meant the registered name -- I know about Dylan ;)
no it doesn't jilli.. has to relate to pink or pig
Chino's favorite is his little blue cow
and pink isn't very masculine for a dog
Any clues/hints for the u would be soooooo appreciated.
"Rosey Sows Little D"
Chino is a great name
ut4
he was VERY fond of the purple monkey for ages
sounds like the state chris without the h
ut 4/5... looks like state minus last consonant + plural
He'd greet me in the morning with either one....
(giggles )
great minds...
(speak for yourself dee.. lol)
ruru -- Safrron's Lovehog?
Pink is too masculine - there's a men's group called strong (brave?) enough to wear pink - they support breast cancer causes.
oh that's good jilli
I love when theres no toy handy to greet with so he settles for a slipper or sneaker
who's saffron?
I mean Saffron's
kennel name of ruru's pup, pini
gotcha ;)
Saffrons' Supreme Scrapple!
thought it might be appropriate, ruru :)
or bacon
I have os 4 and or 4 from the middle o in the top row..does anyone have teh third?
grrr phant etude... have entered it 90 times
or reverse that Saffron's Scrapple Supreme!
me too, dee and hi dee hi

cool
plus the animation was incredible
pini, thx for your email. had a couple of drinkies with dinner so will try on the morrow....
I am anxious to see it
If you have the chance, momDee, see it in 3D
yes, we have come a long way from mickey mouse and donald duck!!!
that could make you sicker than a dog with that much animation...
sounds good rose, i was not planning to see it , but then i wasn't planning on the harry potter movies either
and now am a huge fan of books and movies
there are two ex 6/36 any one found the second one
My friend and I saw it on Christmas Day - didn't pay the extra $ for the 3D, but the whole time we were watching, I was thinking "This must be AWESOME in 3D".
andree also saw some trailers for forecoming flicks, " nine ", " Invictus " and The Wolfman "..........all look really good.
I can't wait for "The Wolf Man"
I can't wait for "The Wolf Man"
invictus really looks interesting to me

Loving life, seriously. I feel like I'm finally in a happy place. How are you doing?
good for you brookie. Freezing here and have a headache
Sorry to hear that. How cold is it there? I thought you're in the middle of summer!
It is summer but the wind has picked up here in the hills
Ugh, I hate the wind. Thank goodness for indoor climate control.
It's 4:52 in the morning, and I'm eating leftover caesar salad. Yum.
same time here, brookie. i got home about 10 min ago. I just at a Reese's PB Tree
hi lady and brookie
HI DC
hi dc! i could go for a reese's, but my 7 year old told me yesterday that i've gained a lot of weight, so i'm trying to stay away from the sweets.
No aircon here and just a wood heater
LOL brookie about the child commenting
just close your eyes, herin, and imagine yourself in the desert
but, yes, avoiding sweets this time of year is a challenge
and its too warm for the wood to get started
my problem has been lack of exercise. i used to go for 3-4 mile walks all the time, but the weather hasn't cooperated. i guess i could take my walks at the mall...
you could. the mall is rather boring for that, though.
no, the people-watching is quite a hoot
oh, good point
doorbell, dog barking, too late! all the snowbirds keep dropping in. Sounds like a long haiku!!!
so, how was your new years?
LOL ruby
lovely impromptu haiku, ruby
quiet here except for the fireworks and firecrackers which make the dogs crazy
i played the tradational New Year's Mah Jongg game :)
Quiet I ran away to the hills
always a good idea that, herin :)
Yep. middle of no where it was great
children fell asleep very early, so i celebrated by finally getting some sleep of my own
i'm proud of myself for finding 3 of the 8s in my first 81 words :)
there's a treat, brookie, if ever!
i'm glad that fireworks/firecrackers are not part of new year around here.
just got 1 of the 8s in my first 103 words. and apparently i'm fat :-)
DC if yuou look at my FB pics that table of food is what we had NYE
when I lived in Miami, people would shoot guns straight up into the air at midnight!
every year some bystanders were shot!
omg, ruby!
my goodness, ruby.
herein, i'll check them out
ok
if any of you would like to "friend" me on fb, search for me on my email address... bsgrubb at aol dot com
wow. found the rest of the 8s. :)
i'm very impressed, dc
will do, brookie, this is a very friendly game! I've been playing lexulous blitz which is VERY competitive!!!
I am just trying to find info on my Grand pop.
Brookie i will add you
just send me a note on fb too, so i know it's you!
trying to find your grandpop on fb, or somewhere else?
Brookie my Grand Pop Has a very long and interesting history with the military. Sadly he passed when I was a baby.
And I have FB added you
i noted my babble identity in my request
thanks everyone!
herin, sorry you couldn't really meet your grandpop. how are you gathering information about him? from your other relatives? online?
will be back in a minute... going to check facebook.
I am curious
i just tried to "friend" brookie and got a weird message. I'll try again before lunch
it worked, ruby... just accepted your friend request (along with herin's and dc's). how cool, thanks again!
babble is the reason i have a FB account. I've coincidentally reconnected with a bunch of people from long ago in the process.
I thought it didn't but I'm pleased. I've only been on for 2 wks but find this very open and nice. Thank you all for being so accepting of my iuneptitude!!! lol
It's really interesting but my nan is no longer here too
ruby, i'm inept every single day, so occasional departures from perfection from everyone else are totally accepted in my book!
lol
not if I could just get the picture sorted out, I'd be happy, then everybody could see the "real" Ruby!
i got a fb account to connect with former classmates before my hs reunion.
you're right, dc, it's amazing who you can reconnect with... i recently found my best friend from elementary school!
we organized our reunion through FB this time. Last time, we did it through our yahoo group.
was fb in use 5 years ago? 10 years ago? (whenever your second-to-last reunion was?)
FB did not exist 5 years ago when we did the last one
Sadly all the ''story'' tellers are gone in my family
sorry to hear that herin
although I've found some old (old) friends on fb, I find that I have more in common with my new friends from games and that we quickly run out of things to talk about
you'll cary on the stories in your time, too, herin
well no one talks about stuff which should be recorded
well no one talks about stuff which should be recorded
before she died, I had my grandmother tell me about all the people in the old family photographs; it is a wonderful trove of info
Just now I found out my Grandfather was in the Scots Royal Guard and that my Great Grandfather was one of the few that survived the landings at Gallipoli
how did you uncover this information, herin?
that's really wonderful, herin :)
that's great stuff, herin
20-20-20-24 hours to go-o-o-o, i want to be se7.36
thanks for the clue, dc!
And then the tough bugger marched from Wales to England in the Coal miners strike
LOL, glad it was helpful
one of my great-great-great-grandmothers left Wales to get away from the mines.
oops great-great-grandmother rather
got carried away ther
It was probably to get away from Tom Jones' great grandfather singing, but that's another story.
DC my Nana did tell me some wonderful stories
hello haz
ROFL haz
Good morning/evening all.
good morning, haz
I've been doing family history research and there's an amazing amount of info on the internet.
there is indeed
Hello seain, ruby, herin.
Haz there is but it doesn't help when Pop was in the Secret Services in England
During what period?
WW2
Royal Scots Guard also and he worked for the Home Office (hope that is right)
lunch break, apero time, see you later
njoy, ruby
later Ruby
Bye ruby.
Haz does that make sense? I think we have to wait until the files are opened
Secret stuff usually stays secret. The files may never be opened. If you're using nationalarchives.gov.uk and if you have his service numbers, you should be able to get as much as they're prepared to give you.
That generation took the 'Secret' part very seriously.
very muchso, even here, haz.
Good morning all.....
good morning, flask
I just have his name and thank you for that
We only discovered that a friend's great aunt had probably served in Bletchley Park during the war when she became demented and started to look back. No-one had any clue, we knew she had been in WRAF but that was as far as it went.
It'll be easier, herin, if you can get his service number - WW1 medals had service numbers on them, not sure about WW2.
Good morning, Flask.
Thank you Haz. We don't have any of his meddles
Was Bletchley Park the decoders?
The other way of making contact, might be to write to his regiment to see what they might have on him.
Yes, as featured in Enigma. She wouldn't have been decoding, but she would have been working in the background supporting the whole enterprise.
and the support workers do more than they ever get credit for in many an effort, not least in time of war
Absolutely, it's a team effort.
I just would love to see photos of him. My Aunt has a pic of the ship that my GGrandfather was on
Then the regiment might be the best bet, they may well have records and photographs.
I often think it must have been hard for these women after the war to just give it all up and get married and have families.
That is what I am trying to find out Haz. THank you for the website. Hi Mom
All the best for the search, herin.
Hi all... sorry, just jumped into the chog.
Hello, mom. I imagine that feelings were mixed. The war would have been a hard slog, certainly after the war in Britain, it was no picnic either with rationing continuing etc.
hello, mom. It was likely harder for some than others. some number were likely relieved to be able to get back to the pre-war routine, insofar as postbellum resumble antebellum
I do also have a very rare book of the Bombing of London published in the time of WW2
Of course.. but I would imagine that having had opportunity and responsibility and then... *poof* "here's your hat"... it happened here with the factory jobs.
excellent point, mom
But don't forget that a lot of war work was heavy, dirty and mundane, not necessarily exciting. Plus many women had to keep house as well, maybe it was nice to have one less struggle?
Haz i think i will have to just admit that finding anything on him is a lost cause.
My b.fs Grandma was a gun loader in London and she is tiny
True Haz... I'm sure there were some women who were happy to get back to their prewar lives, others maybe not so much.
herin, I think you'll be able to find at least the bare bones, and if nothing else, you'll be able to corroborate dates etc. Try all the resources before giving up but don't expect too much, if that makes sense.
I agree, mom, I think people will have had different reactions.
Yes it makes sense
herein of the Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) have a temple in your vicinity, most have a genealogy center attached that provide remarkable resources for free
And time for me to go - shopping to do. I don't want to go, but people will keep eating! Bye for now.
oh, my. it's nearly 6! I should try to sleep, i suppose. Be well, haz
Thank you DC
In some industries it did not matter... my grandmother was a nurse. She trained nurses going off to war and continued training nurses throughout her life, but nursing, back then, was a predominantly "female" field. So, for her, she got an opportunity to teach and was able to continue doing it. Not the same story for most female workers during the war.
Bye and Thank you haz. BRB I have to go somewhere for a min
Bye! (www.familysearch.org for the Mormon records online) *gone*
OMG dc... you are going off to bed and I am going off to work, LOL.
well, i went out about 17 and got home about 4
when then you need some sleep.
brrr
Have a great day, mom. Good evening, herin. Happy Babbling, yall!
good morning. is 0356 too early to wake up?
Never, jane. Good morning {poof}
Hi Harp
is the lone r to do something again?
Yes Harp
How are you HArp?
hi herin, i'm fighting insomnia but otherwise ok
Insomnia sucks

gm e1

I'm here lurking oodle.
oh hi Frances sorry to have bothered you... lurk away
No problem oodle. Just that the chog seemed very very quiet. Was beginning to think that I was the only one here.
I doubt though you are the only one 'lurking' but others have the chog off too
I'm sure. Nice grid though.
hello frances and oodle!! and happy new year, incase I didn't see you yesterday
ya think? I hope I can at least finish this one... the only one I finished was the 30 word... not very impressive eh

well, it's slowed considerably of course.
red, I love your bird photos! beautiful!
TY JBV. I am a littl proud of them....
Overly actually...

Well, that area is a wildlife preserve near the East coast. I live in Lake county, we seem to have over 1000 lakes in this one county...lots of birds I'm so lucky.
luck and talent - that's what makes a great photo!

if they have my money START PRCESSING
oh pffffffffft
hi flosey
ive delt with these retentive people before;(
>>>>>>>>>off you go, crosssy
morning Annie
they aren,t used to americans
said at 8:00
sure we are..just usually though high power rifle sights ..lol..just kidding..dont bomb us! lol..
or I should say united statesians cause canadians AND mexicans ARE americans
Oodle, just be thankful that you are not an American applying for OASDI in Canada
because we ALL live in north AMERICA
as you can see ive yet to have my morning meds
what is that
hold on
well I was told that canada will pay ... they take it from the states but I guess the process is long eh?
lol,if your doing alternate payment methods it can take long indeed
long? that's an understatement. I started the process in Feb.
last form i saw was year and a half...cash
what is OASDI?
Getting Canada Pension is easy, but OASDI is a PITA
asks the canadian - lol
yup
Is that disability insurance?
In Canada there are two government plans similar to US Social Security
looks almost like aid to disabled person form
well if it takes long for one government to do something that doesn't surprise me that it will take twice as long when two governments are involved PLUS a thuird when dealing with Québec
The one that pays the most is the easiest to get
yes, I thought so too crossy
quebec??? lol all bets are off,it could circulate for 2 years
Social Security can also be for either old age or disability
indeed lawyer,my wife collects disability
pfffft... and it took me a year longer to get my freaking perminant resident card but with all the waiting I became eligible for citizenship HA!
lol,there are up sides to it
10 mos. after I applied, they wroe giving me 60 days to supply them with a card that the government makes you hand in when you emigrate from Canada
OMG that is confuzzling
took us 10 years to finally get her disability papers approved though..damn doctors play tennis with the forms
so, now I must apply to the Consulate to get a copy of that card
so you are in canada lawyer?
omg
Good morning kids! 9 degrees F here, going all the way to 11 later, and I will be snowshoeing in the woods with my friend ANYWAY!
no, I left Canada in the 70's
lol lawyer,i once had to produce my ORIGINAL record of landing form..what a pain that was
hi scrab

at least montreal or gatineau
Where can you go, Oodle? You need a job!
hi oodle - I've never heard of anyone having such difficulty coming to Canada
She is a real beauty, that mrp!
you have a cousin in Dallas?
mrp is indeed quite beautiful
yes... and I don,t get a job here soon by summer's end I will go back to the states
Yes, I do, kje. Daughter is senior in HS, will go to UT Austin next yr to major in physics.
ouch!..everyone say good morning to my better half..;/
well, then, you have a reason to visit! come on down ; )
His wife is a New Orleans Cajun girl--sweetheart!
I have thought about it. His sister + I may do that!
Good morning Elegant, Honorable Wife of Sir Crosshair!
to quebec... or it's me... didn't speak frenchwell enough for one employer... he told me my french wasn't good enough
crossy scurries to make her a tea....
Hello Lady Elegant..so nice to meet you
IRONICALLY EVERYONE TELLS ME THAT MY FRENCH IS VERY GOOD AND NO PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING ME OR ME THEM... SHEESH
sorry for yell but it just gits me
good morning Elegant, nice to see you
mm..she is still in zombie mode,but says good morning to everyone
But you probably speak with an "English" accent so they know you are not a native, thus rejection
no
Where else can you move to, Oodle? You need a fresh start.
I speak with and accent is all and the accent that people tell me is a FRENCH accent not a quebecker accent
Geez, Oodle.
thinking of montreal or gatineau the latter is near ottawa
I forget your line of work
oodle, if you're thinking of relocating, why not another province?
well,this car is not going to shovel itself out biab,time to get the heart going...jobs are tight here oodles.we have people filling jobs and then kicking back 2 or 3 dollars an hours so they are below min wage,but it still looks normal on the books..jobs are that tight
room server is what I have experience in
Be careful, Crossy. No chest pain, hypothermia or frostbite please!
I will.. just right now is very difficult with it being winter but on the other hand I will get rid of all my stuff and then move
ill take care scrabbs..semi-poof
but timing is important
bbye cross
You move out of province and you will speak English with a French accent
HI BR!
Hello, scrabbler
nah I asked my mother if I spoke English with a french accent and she says no
Happy New Year to you, BR!
hi BR
Hello, Annie and oodle
What is temp there, BR?
hi BR
- 29 F
hi Miss Ann of Green Gables
Hello, flosey
We are experiencing a balmy 19 degrees here
So our 9 F is tropical compared to you. Are you out on your hammock, BR?
holy frost bit batman BR
Hi Sir Oodle
well said, Sir Oodle
Had to break down and put on a jacket
Stay warm, BR.

I cannot imagine cold THAT cold
Very little wind .. so all is good
yep, oodle
k

*remembering that words can begin with vowels*
hey, my state is a word....
TY, kje!
and plural
And TY, BR!
yw scrab
kje, do you always try "Axid"?
nope
thanks, kje and BR
hello everybody! OOdle: I speak French with an American accent
but, i never write Rx's for it, so I guess it doesn't pop into mind so fast
and "crit"
thx kje - did not know that
i do always try desat though.... always
Me too, kje
and dexa too
Hi ruby + bo
yep, always do crit - LOL
We use Axid + Zantac for GERD in infants/kids
moring Scrabs
hi scrabbler and bo
ooops - morning!
co4 valgus is here
I looked the state up and it means a deckhouse, interesting
didn't know the big state was a word 'regular' word
hi Ruby
hi ruby and bo
Ruby, you live in France? How did you end up there?
hi annie
hi Annie
because I am a hospitalist, by JACHO rules, we cannot write trade names, it is all generic, so I am starting to not really think in trade names anymore
kje - what does texas mean?
retired here, always loved it and it was affordable
which sucks, since generic names are much longer and harder to spell - LOL
also really beautiful between the Alps and Lake Annecy, both visible
bo - click on the little box with a question mark by the word and it gives you a definition
duh! not awake yet...
Over the last several years I have made myself switch to drug names in both notes and with parents, and I teach students, residents, nurses to do the same. Also with imms--old records have TriHibit, TriPedia, etc and no one knows what those are.
it is a cabin for officers on a boat
Must be gorgeous, Ruby!
have heard of tripedia, but have never heard the word trihibit
But it is easier to use Pulmicort with parents than budesonide
interesting
wonderful here and very nice people in our little village
With the combo vaccines it is better to write down the components than the trade name
Ruby is making me long for retirement rather than using trade names of drugs
how about retirement with drugs? lol
good morning babb;ers
*babblers

cross when ever folks told me to bait mousetraps with bacon i kept thinking crossy would cringe!
bacon scraps are best for mice and coons
racoons just adore raw bacon
*thought he shut down the infernal PB the other day*

Good Morning, fellow Babblers. I just hate it when the dictionary says my *word* isn't a WORD, or that it doesn't exist in the puzzle! One of us is ornery today, I think.

Ok, just wondering.

USA hego.
LOL oodle

Hego, I saw in your profile you've spent a lot fot ime in Italy, have you been to Murano?
USA, ty Red

Yes Red, bought some glass there
thanks for that!
At 129/90 I must pack food and get on layers for the snowshoeing trek. Bye kids!
Did you see the glass blowers, I've wanted to see Murano, primarily because I think it would make some good photography.

low of 30 tonight.
Hi BR.
good idea, Mom
groan... I planted impatiens and won't be there to cover them
Hello, H
that would be a heat wave for us Red, high of 16 today
Lucky Aloy, She's returning with the wise men.
lol hego, hadn't realized that... yes, three kings day
Mom , I do not get how you guys can live in that cold.
it is all I know.
Something totally new happened here in CT today, it snowed :-(((
Aloy, the impatiens are probably gone, we have had 2 cold snaps, one over Xmas, and one last night, but...Impatiens are somewhat tougher than they look.
but it only last a couple of months
Yaay for snow Bichon!
it will be the end of next week before we get above freezing
morning, folks
its so pretty if you dont have to navigate in it.
good morning Bichon and Welki
HI Welki!
Welki, hello.
Mom, 16 would be a heat wave for us! It's -15 (F) today with highs of -5
We have so many really annoying snow events. I had to cancel my granddaughter plans today
ah well..
oh geez Nef, that is cold
egads, Nef!
I will take the 16
Well...you could call the neighbours aloy.
I will stick with the 38 that it is now....
It's 30 here
*I* don't plan to go anywhere. I bet it's colder than that for BR
Stay warm Nef.
i am fine hego and you? ty for asking
TO got her Do** open!
took a chance.. saved some cuttings for replanting. Have been propogating these impatiens for over 30 years..
I'm good TO
Oh no Aloy...thats sad.

and caught a critter
Smart move, Aloy! Have you had the same plant for 30 years? I'm impressed
not to worry, red.. have some being tended up north, in pots
WOW!!!!!
nef, speak up, I cant hear you!
yup.. it is a variegated impatiens, fuchsia flowers, "Sultana", a gift from long ago
nef, okay?
Nef, Get your head off the keyboard!
How'd you do that?
Nef, did your fingers freeze?
Sorry, something got weird!
What colors are the impatiens, Aloy
I love fuschia.
fuchsia, BR..
I used to grow african violets....
the flowers that is... the foliage is like a soft silver-green, very unusual
I love all the colors
lovely
and they bloom year round, so I love having them indoors in the winter
after a long absence, the needle case is back!!!

Hello oodleberry! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
Hello welki! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
thanks everyone, will stick around for a bit if any clues needed
hi min :)
hi min don't wanna talk about it, ty
What's wrong Oodle?
um
Oh, that's right, you don't want to talk about it. Sorry
:)
This is a bad place to say you don't want to talk about something, oodle, because *someone* always asks.
But now I'm worrying.
clue for the single R, i have the re 8
to rise again
got up again
has anyone tried the yellow potato???
Oops! sorry. off to PB box for me again. :-( (I hope someone made coffee there now)
there's always good coffee in PB Nef - machine makes one cup at a time, so always fresh
Yukon Glods? I love them
how many letters please
yellow taters are good
kind of buttery
thanks flosey
no I shut it down... didn't you see the police tape around the PB???
re6 Zoe
re6 - re + beautiful flower
i've resisted buying them because i didn't know what to expect (and you have to buy a big bag of them here, can't buy singlets) ... so thanks :)
a clue for the re8? please
call me strange, but aren't (nearly) all potatoes yellow?
the food that was left on the table in the PB is now out in the open SO THERE
thanks
they seem to cook more quickly.
no Ata, many are white
no they are white ata
never seen a white potato
you mean the skin or the flesh
clues please for di7..and di8 please?rfd
These are a particular kind Ata
the flesh
illness flask
di7 is an affliction
white on the inside? most of the potatoes here in north american are white on the inside (idaho, russets, etc) ... some are brown skinned, some red
oh probably from there then ata
*looks them up* wanna see!
re 8?
the yellow potato tastes like the white potato
thanx phae....and Happy new year to you..
plural to re semenate
lol the first link I see: "Yellow-fleshed potatoes are common in Europe and South America. In fact, yellow flesh potatoes are actually considered the norm in most countries outside North America, so naturally, immigrants to North America were accustomed to and preferred potatoes with yellow flesh."
sit down again bichon
yw flask..happy new year to you too, and everyone herer
Ata, here in the US, we have Idaho potaoes (for baking) and red potatoes (for boiling) and the gold potatoes are kind of in between. The Yukon golds can be baked and they almost have a buttery taste, I don't use much butter on them at all. Then there are purple potatoes, finger potatoes, etc
ty hego for the re 8
I think the Yukon Golds are almost like our Jersey Royals, a lot of our potatoes are yellow-y and yummy
but when I was in france I never saw a yellow potato ata
Potatos are native to the Western hemisphere
hey! i loved baked reds, nef! and fries, too!
In Italy, they're white fleshed
in Italy, they have all sorts
only good thing here in quebec city is the food... it is the only thing I do well... and that is eat...
Great talent Oodle.
definitely
so do I welki. However, when you eat out you only get russets or idaho potaoes when you order baked. There's a big difference in the starch content of the different varieties
but but but hego didn't you know that the italian potatoes are from which they get pasta you silly girl :D
I love baked Idahos
ohhh, here, it's common to be served a rough mash of red potatoes with herbs
I love baked Estimas
i jumped the gun .. yep, whites for baked if eating out)
that's a new name to me Ata
but I do live in the middle of a potato growing region, so I can get about 20 vareties in the local farm shops!
I've been to cooking tours in Italy and I swear the potatos we used were white to make the gnocchi.
Estimas are local Kent potatoes, the best best for baking cos they don't need even a smidgen of butter
i find idaho potatoes very dry to the taste
well yes, but they don't just have gnocchi :P if you have had the little fried potato balls etc, those can be made from anything
they are called pasta potatoes... that's where all pasta is from in Italy.... *giggles*
wow Ata, would love to try them! I smother my baked potatoes with butter and sour cream!
I usually buy Yukon Golds these days, I like the flavor better than the russets. If there aren't any Gold potaotes, then I get the red potatoes. I love baby red potatoes in a white sauce.
now I really want gnocchi!
I didn't know that potatos could bring up so much chat
I am diabetic and don't eat them much [sadly]
<-- is not a potato afficianado, will eat any potato, so watch yer spuds!
Stop it Oodle, most pasta is made from wheat.
hubby grows the reds
you'd love them, Flosey! It was an absolute eye-opener for me. I'd never managed baked potatoes without lashings of butter before, these just taste like they have butter already in them. Utterly wonderful
(but will put yukon golds on the shopping list once i'm done with the reds i have)
bichon, you can have them, just watch your carbs when you do
nu uh
I'll make you some, Ata
just means you can pile more cheese on top and get your calories that way :D
Uh huh
nu uh
I make fresh pasta all the timeOodle you bad boy.
Nef, potatoes are really high in carbs. I eat for whole carbs than a potato has
hego??? check to see if your leg is still attached, dear
fresh pasta is the *best*
*whole grains
you should try the fingerlings too. And the purple ones (but purple mashed potatoes can be strange -- and expensive!)
well I cannot because I am allergic to wheat SO THERE
What? how did my leg get dettatched
but maybe i will try making my own pasta... I think it is easy enough eh?
wiki says that, under italian law, dry pasta can only be made from durham wheat flour
CAUSE I AM PULLING ON IT YOU SILLY GIRL
it's surprisingly easy
You have Celiac di***** Oodle?
Any clues for first DE5/22, please?
well, I'm off to start my day, getting light out now
It is easy Ata.
no thankfully just wheat and it's relatives,,, kamut and spelt
Bye Flosey.
bbye flosey hagd
dont see why you couldn't make pasta from potato flour, though .. 'specially if you can't tolerate gluten
NM got it
Rice flour is best for gluten free pasta.
rice barley oat buckwheat(not wheat) corn rye can all be used to make pasta
oh and quinoa too...
de 5- castrate
Oodle You might try glute-free.com. They have a wide variety of gluten free foods.
mmm I know. I love making pasta
some italian pastas require buckwheat flour .. so you're ahead of the game :)
yes hego rice and quinoa
My deceased husband had celiac and I became quite good at gluten free cooking. It's hard.
but they use some wheat flour in it welki
But I don't know any recipes for fresh wheat free pasta
OOps. Gluten-Free.com
Beth it's very difficult to make, but there are great ones for sale now.
kewel hugo so you know my culinary frustrations which I have learnt from trial and error... I make a mean crustless cheese cake
de 5/22 X2 = 2 things I'm not interested in!
New York style no less
considering the time some of us spend here, sitting in front of our computers, we will never be glute-free ... or even glute-challenged :)
And flourless choclit cake Oodle. The best
why welki
problem is, is I munch while am at computer
glute, not gluten, oodle. as in gluteus maximus
She said glute free Oodle.
oh yes chocolate torte YUM
WELL FINE CONFUZZLE ME WHY DON,T YOU
loops
i have to go as I'm doing nothing here. hagd all!
bye, hego
awww bbye hego
bye hego
yep, will finish my coffee and get moving here too (relatively speaking ... that ankle of mine is still aching and swollen .. and so many pretty colors today!}
is the middle top O or words??
od, oodle
sorry welki... I have had many in the past and feel for you
never can figure out how to tell when there are other same letters in row
ty nef
actually, the top Os are odoand or. Not sure wheich is wheich
hi all
shall I try again in a real language? Not sure where all those extra vowels came form.
hey jmc .. have a good time at your 'do' last night?
lol
hi jmc
it was better than i hoped
it's a group of old lefty lawyers and they tend to talk about conspiracies and other things that bore me to extinction
but they are old friends
don't you love it when that happens? that's the v8 moment, when you bonk yourself on the head for trying to figure out a way to avoid going :)
but the host had been clearing out her mother's estate and we got to look at tatting and crochet and old vases
did they tone it down last night or discuss other topics?
all folks would find here is dust bunnies
well one of them went off about how climate change was a right wing conspiracy
i told him that sarah palin would be proud of him
ohhh, you walked the tightrope! LOL
LOL!!!
We saw "Avatar" yesterday and loved it.
well you know old old friends we all started practicing law at about the same time
but the fabric was wonderful
poke the tiger, poke the tiger :)
sounds like fun, jmc.
we are all pretty toothless around each other
most of us have either work in the same office or represented each other in matters or were co-counsel
it was fun -- i got home much later than usual
well, i'm glad you had a good time and some good laughs :)
Hi jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
my phantom is desire
Good morning, everyone!
hi min how are you
hi judi
hi judi :)
hi Judi
mine too, jmc. I've tried adding it several times
morning Judi
i'm stuck ... so will go finish my coffee, pretend to do something around here and be back later. bye for now
Hello Judi! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
coffee I knew i was missing something!
bye welkie
I am well jmcnrick. I woke up to even more snow this morning.Procrastinating about shoveling all the snow
Very windy and cold here today. New Year blowing in like a lion.
you can only put off shoveling snow for so long or it is likely to get worse before it gets better
really windy here too -- they have a wind advisory going
although i must admit being advised that there is lots of wind seems kinda silly
sheesh ... throwing this into chat for a decision. i need to cook today, i need some real food and haven't been able to do much of anything for the last few days (sprained ankle). lamb chops or scallops?
so true, jmc. We had a bad storm over Christmas, and my dtr. hasn't shovelled out her convertible yet. Then it rained and snowed and froze even more. She'd going to have a hard time digging it out this next week. (she's been using my car while I recuperate)
because heaven forbid someone makes a decision around here! LOL
scallops cook faster but with pork chops you can sit down inbetween
Hmmm. Lamb chops might be less fussy, Welki.
sorry lamp chops
Order pizza.
Lamb Chops would be easiest
sorry your ankle was hurt so badly
gail :)
pizza!!!!
hi gail sorry to have been so dense in FB
Brilliant, Gail!
ok, lamb chops it is (can't get real pizza here in calgary ... real pizza = real food, not this stuff they pass off as pizza here)
thanks, kids!
Take it from somebody who's been in a cast/boot since August. Order takeout. How about Chinese?
yw welki
How'd you sprain your ankle, welki?
if I weren't allergic to wheat I would choose pizza
Hello Gail! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
I am doing great. Getting a late start today.
goodness gail! hope it comes off soon
brb I need a new icon and to brew some coffee
what is the difference tween real and fake pizza?
A couple more months should do it.
I see in your profile that you are from Vermont. Had Christmas up in Vermont. I was there for four days.
as for fake pizza many parts are edible
Oh, good. We have a little snow to make it white.
Min...who are you talking to?
Mi!
Gail
Or Me.
Hi phaeton! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
Hey, oodle. I found a realy good gluten free pizza crust. It's called "Against the Grain". In the frozen section.
Happy New Year Minver and Gail!
and it doesn,t cook up like a cracker that you can't bite into?
mmm, christmas in vermont! if only one could just have christmas wherever one liked...
No. It's delicious. Nice and chewy.
Thanks phaeton. Happy New Year to you too. I hope 2020 brings you a year of much happiness & success.
I have also found frozen gluten free pizza... unfortunately... not the same and I am in canada... but I will look for the brand nam... 'Against the grain' you say?
me too Min, but we have to get thru 2010 first :)
have a good year, phae, you just have to wait 10 bad ones first... sounds almost biblical
actually if it doesn't have any thing on it that is in french I doubt it would be in stores here
3 phantom words for me are dioxide,exit and studies
LOL!! I agree with hurshy!
etude
Yes. The three cheese is the best. Ingredients are: Tapioca starch, milk, eggs, canola oil, cheddar cheese, mozzarella and parmesan. That's it!
and why isn't doody a word?
Made in Brattleboro Vermont by Against the Grain Gourmet.
kewel
Against the Grain products are very good.
i looked it up and it just might be here cause it is from england
I suppose all the fattening cheese is what really makes it good.
There are Oods in the grid - all you Dr. Who fans...
noticed that first thing!
fat always makes me feel more contented and full. I usually have hot cereal in the AM with "Smart Balance" in it
Of course you did.
ok, the food talk needs to stop until i go to the grocery store. i'm in the back-from-travelling-yesterday empty-kitchen phase.
the ordering tone of that post was in jest, btw...
I saw the Oods too :)
Cranky. You should have something to eat, Hurshy. :-)
I don't know if it's the same type, but we get a gluten-free pizza base here that's seriously nicer than most gluten-full ones
that's what sucks being in quebec ... you can't find half the products that the rest of canada can easily find
Pizza crust made with rice flour alone just doesn't cut it.
next time I go shopping, I'll have a look for you Oodle
but inthe rest of canada they don't have cheese curds which is day old cheese
so Quebec is the whey to curds
hahahaha
There's always mail order, Oodle. They still have pony express and dog sled delivery in Quebec, eh?
ty ata that is nice of you
nope I think it is by foot
brb going to call mom
i wonder what made that notch in the tree?
it's clearly an axcut.
and what do you call a pretty ax?
axotic?
a cu4ax!
ahhh
but yours works too
as long as they don't institute a cu4 tax
I should hope not!
the Ood would have to pay
lol, no they wouldn't!
i love them DESPITE their looks!
they are great
But they're aliens.
so youre going to see part 2 today?
yep
they are indeed!
It says so in Google.
looooool
they sing
*detecting some xenophobia from haz's direction*
have tissues nearby. it's really quite heartrending
she's Irish, what do you expect?
No xenophobia at all. They're aliens in the most non-xenophobic sense of the word.
cu 7 please, and how is everyone today?
did you see a pic of the,?
them!
haz, your comment began with a "but". that sounded xenophobic to me .
cu7 - not a description to be attacned to the Ood - Shirley Temple, yes, Ood no.
But I start every sentence with but, so I do.
but they are!! LOL
i see 2 sentences at 11:02 that belie this claim.
I haven't the faintest idea what they look like but it said something about their brains being on display. That can't be a good look.
I think the Oods are cu4/6
thanks haz
You're welcome, zoe.
cu7 is an extenion of the cu5 above it; a sort of endearing term
But, sure, begorrah I'll need to see a picture of these Ood to know what they look like.
you're not gonna like it, haz
They're disgusting!
But you need to check out the BBC website.
I'd seen them on trailers but never known what they were called. Bring back Daleks.
<- refresh. Can you tell the difference between an Ood and David Tennant, Haz?
That's easy. He looks normal, though surprised.
mmm, i had the loveliest david tennant dream earlier this week...
Bring back the Cybermen. They really are scary! I love how funny they were in the really old episods. All tin foil and paper towel rolls.
yes, the Ood looks very pretty with a pink hula thingy
if my dream is any indication, he is a VERY good kisser.
I can't see the Ood's brain, but it looks like there's spaghetti hanging out his nose.
Lucky Hurshy. Oooh, I am jealous. All I seem to dream about is my ex. Ick.
the old monsters were just hilarious. and very scary
who is ood?
here we go again
The Oods are odd.
The Daleks were always running into the walls. On one episode they had to set one back upright and then just went on with the show.
I've been watching an anime series and one of the main charries in it is called Ruru
I have ruru copyrighted
better talk to Square Enix then! :P
it's a girl too
(groans)
and a werewolf
(groans more)
knew you'd be impressed
bk
hi ruru
morning oods
I thought they were talking about you with spaghetti hanging out your nose.. I didn't get it
Hahahahahaha.
haz: http://tinyurl.com/yb6gehp Hobbit in the Cone :)
oh nice image there ruru
Oc5 & 6, please?
I would have thought for sure that you were a capellini kind of guy..
Chemicals
group of 8 and pl
That's a BIG cone.
oc + muffies boyfriend
that's the XL cone that evil husband went and got her!!
Ooops, wrong o words. sorry. Need more coffee.
It would have used up too much tinsel ata
I thought Muffie's boyfriend was Biff.
Biff turned out to be gay and she switched to Tad
Go figure.
it's been banished to the garage now
(waiting for a larger dog I guess)
So, does anyone else have a coherent clue for the oc5 & 6?
so what sort of cocker did you have, Gail?
group of 8 and pl
add muffy's boyfriend (besides Biff) to oc
oc5 - oc plus the early stage of a frog. And plural.
would that be an octet?
Ty, Haz.
ata why the cone... did she have some surgery or something and don't want her licking ro scratching herself??
sometimes they end with et and sometimes they end with something else
she had an infected tail
You're welcome, Judi. I win the prize for coherent clue.
you need to get neo-predef for her
This dictionary allowes you some - what I consider - quite offensive words - like yi4/7 and yet it wouldnt allow me negro - which I find strange????
Negro is capitalised, Deeha.
neo-predef?
because black people kvetch more than jewish people
it never excludes based on offensiveness. whatever reasons things are excluded are either grammatical or un-figure-out-able
It is for hot spots and irritated skin.. it works like a charm.. you can buy it at dog shows or a vet
she's got generally very good skin. we think she just got her "tail" caught on something and no-one noticed until infection had set i properly
I thinjk perhaps rururocks is pretty close!! I suppose now I think about it Negro is capitalised -en masse tho' ????!!!¬
*random* "hot spots" is something I've never heard a non-american say about dogs
yeah.. ata... it could be almost anything.. haz's husband would know
Isn't "negro" spanish for black? There is a spanish farewell in today's grid.
Well, for instance, it would accept negroid if it occurred in the puzzle.
and it accepts ni6.
and it accepts some spanish and french words but obviously not all.
I tried sextoid but that didn't work
ours is not to reason why
Ours is but to grumble.
it also accepts negroni
How true - and how English Haz see I used a ca[ital!!
Black pasta??
yes there is judi
with squid ink
it's yummy
The Oods look as though they could bleed squid ink.
Babbo serves it in NYC.. really delicious
I like squid, but not the ink. Yeech.
they do rather
nice grid. one pass through and i only have 13 left.
Assuming you have the list I guess
nope
whoa
well done hurshy
anyone got a right-hand i word that has nothing to do with a part of your eye?
oh, nvm, they all do.
I + horse trip
right-hand A is ae4, ai4, and?
ae again
ai5
ae 7
NM, ae7
ae7... looking
found it!
do you need a hint?
that leaves only one more 7 to find, too. how nice.
YAY!
I need a hint for the ae7.
ae4 + I came back and ***down to play again
ae 7 - ae4 plus not to stand
if you are going out for the evening, and you don't want to leave your plane, you might find someone to stay with it. after which he/she could say that he/she had ae7.
hints for the ex's?
Ty.
ex6 beauties from foreign lands
beauties?
and if there's another one, then that's my last e :)
that's a phrase altogether, not a ex6 followed by definition
There are two ex6
ex6 is an adj
*bounces*
cu7 please
lose on those ex's
judi, what's the other one
ex6/36 - descriptive of foreign things, glamorous etc.
hi folks, hurshy do you have the ex 6/36 that looks like a plural of a mass migration?
the orchid is an ex6 flower
Cupie dolls are ever so cu***** - ends with two vowels
greek plural ending
duh! ty
that's one
Back shortly, things to do.
i can't get it to work
ahhhh
that's no plural
that's like a dative case or something
start with the Paul Newman film, then ** vey with a different vowel
is there more than one of any of the following: a7, c7, d7, or t7 ?
no it's a greek plural, like hoi polloi (the many)
TRying again - first four letters are cu** that means sharp or cuddly looking; last three are found in that horrid old phrase cu*****-woot***
two a 7's, ad, ae
the rest are all singles
yay, down to 8
Fireworks - good luck, all!
WTG, helens'girl YAY!!!
Got all the 8's and the vowels. I feel as though I've accomplished something.
hello all
TO!
is cu7 a continuation of cu5
hny judi! has anyone seen haz today?
hi ya peeps lady
yes, she was here being xenophobic not long ago
hi oods!
She was just here. She might still be lurking.
lmao poor Haz
hey ata
clue for do6 please? :) :)
is cu7 a continuation of cu5
yes oodle
do 6 - looks like an English county, different last vowel
ty
i tried that, it won't take it
ty got it
i only have one cu5, plural of the adjective. however that worked.
starts with same 4 letters of the do 5 before it, then comparative ending
ohhhh, different last consonant! thanks.
did i say last vowel? so sorry!
i won't hold it against ya :)
help please w/cu7?
i wouldn't buy that miniature poodle statuette, it's too cu7 for me
oh my word! ty!
i'm enjoying the last few minutes of peace and quiet before the doorbell rings and I have a houseful of guests - we're having "Christmas" today
Time for a break. BBL.
hi Owl!

first ex 6/36 clue
Sorry, Matches, don't have either...
Moses led the Jews out of Egypt in the book of Ex**us. Change the last two letters to two vowels, greek plural
ty fuqua
Thanks, fuquay!
Is the second similar?
welcome!
second one means foreign, strange
Thanks again! Gotta run now...Happy Babbling to all!

Pini! How did yoiu manage to have a grey little person instead of a red or blue one?

Sally...my "little guy" is purple for non-gender specific ;)
why did that happen?
Ok, TY

BRB, going to dress and get some tea.
(cuz I'm not keen on pink and blue here is for male - last time I checked I not male, so purple it is)
hit enter a few times probably Kimm
my name, however, is pretty gender-specific!
lol pini

unless it's short for salvatore!
We've had one or two on here I think :-)
lol for the vampire bunny

quite
My husband got his MFA at the U of O!

Is that legal in the UK, to not drink tea?
...and since you've gotten that far, scrabs, I'm refraining from listing until I get further :)

We can do it, Pini!
I just made myself a cup of herb tea when I got dressed, Scrabs. Thanks for the offer
first se 732 please

I'm still missing a bunch of the se words, also some R's, E's and T's
i have the se 5 and it pl 5/10 there is another 5/10 and a 6/21 lower in the list
I'm missing 96 words...too many letters to point out! LOL

these easy grids promote mediocrity
I feel like there really can't be that many missing; I'm sure I tried every combo possible so far
yes I do Luv
I am missing three s's
lol br
se 5/10 sounds like when you take something by force and then pt for the 6/21
Now I am missing only one! Got those TY!
easy for you, BR! I was having fun at first; but now that I'm nearing the end, I feel like there aren't any words left that I haven't tried. I suppose it's time to go do something else for a while
hi BR :)
yw, what one are you missing?
HowDy, Pini
got it! It was the 4/4 that went with that grouping!
I think I'm going to pick one tile and stick with it until it's gone (let's see, which of the 15 should I start with?)
one to the 4 r's!
game was disappointing BR...
Yes, but hard fought
agreed...at least it wasn't a complete slaughter ;)

The da 4/5 is January 3, 1010.Here's my second clue paragraph for the year. Spent Christmas in Vermont with my family. I never like the long ri 4/5 up there, but it is worth it in the end. Niece and nephew were so cu 4/6 with their exci4/5ment for Santa to come with his 8 reinde4/5. Now that the holidays are over I must go on a di 4/5. Pretty soon I won't be able to fit through the do4/5. As much as I ad 5/12 X-Mas, I am glad it is over. I did get a do 4/5 of reality today when hubby reminded me I have work in two days. It will be very hard for me to ri4/4 early in the morning and ea 4/4 back into the swing of things on Monday. I have an id 4/5 to call in sick on Monday.I would not give one io4/4 what my boss would think of that.But sometimes my id5/12 are not so good&I do the right thing instead. Well I have sa 4/5 all that I wanted to say at this time. I hope some of you got some cu 4/6.
nice min
Thanks
It's palindrome day, if you use the US date format 01-02-2010
Minver, Well done
It opened up for you Joanne? if so you need to fill in bthe right hand side - remember to click the updae and display boxes top right and bottom left of that side when you are finished. The icon picture is the next step - just get the first bit done first

Joanne, that is so nice! looking for a word to put in the chat
Are you sure you entered the Country you are in Joanne, it should be showing your flag. Make sure you have checked Update Profile and Show profile boxes on the right hand side of that first page
Bye Minver and enjoy the rest of the day

lol
co 5/24 uses high point tile&is past tense kirk10kirk
co5/22 uses high point tile&present tense kirk10kirk
co% - as pertains to sculling?
*POOF* again (for real)
co5 - sorry
Yay - Joanne is a Girl and lives in Canada - Who knew!

ty peri
Hello all, Congrats on your icon-ness Joanne!
you might have to re-size your photographs, joanne ... if they're too large, they'll be all mushy and huge
Illness Periwinkle.
Hi Peri, an illness
hi Red
duh, thanks, lyn
i think jilli has a site she uses to do that ... i know microsoft has a free plug-in to resize photos too
ty, red
yes, mine is mushed today.
hi lynnxxx.
i see a beautiful white bird with red markings, red
ohh welk feeling inadequate again lol
Yeah, mine is quite squashed in too
like you are speaking chinese to me to do something like that
yes, he's just sort of squoshed.
joanne, stop the fretting. if the pic is too big, someone will ask you to take it off the site (because it screws chat up in a big way). if it's fine, it's fine.
lyn what kinda dog is that??
(all my photos, regardless of size, have been distorted for the last month or two ... thought it was me)
ok welk
Stew is my greyhound
i thought so ,how cu4
Stew is adorable <3
usually most photos are fine. Mine are a little big because of my camera.
he is, a lovely boy
how old??
hi ata.
It's an Uud! hi Ata. I love Uuds
mine, too, red .. but even if i try to use photos taken with a camera that takes normal sized images, they've been showing up wonky
Four and a bit Jo
hi atal
he looks very tall like a greatdane
Do you have Photoshop or Iphoto? You can easily resize them...
we were trying to persuade Haz that they were cu4 earlier ;)
i do .. and i have, but they still show up weird. hang on and i'll show you.
That could be the squashed photo, he's actually the size of a female. 32 kgs
She needs to hear them sing!
that is odd welki. Maybe everything is going wonky.
neighbor had one, they look malnurished but people don't understand ,that's the type of dog they are, sleek and ready to run for the wabbit
red, i resized this photo to almost thumbnail sized and look what happened! my sleek car has turned into a clownmobile! LOL
Now that Stews dropped the training regime, he's beefed up a bit - went from 25-32 kgs. They say he is the right size for a retired one now
nans do you need any help with any words??
It's hard to tell, welki, because I think it looks like a car, but I trust that you are right... my bird is swuased but no one knows.
oh well
32 kg ... thats a Hobbit and a half!
that's ok welk i love it, need daughter to see this now
You have to account for the fact you're going from rectangular to square ..
lol, he is taller and longer - AND has a tail
ae7?
ae4 and pt of sit
ae7 the normal ae4 & what the cat did to the mat
hmmm ... maybe i can work this photo thing to my advantage. if i took a rectangular photo of myself and made it into an icon, it might stretch me out!
If you crop a square section of your picture, then resize it, it will look right
tx all
lol welk
will try that now :)
oooh thanks torg...
crop it square right?
ok I am back... hi everyone ... re welki joanne dan tor lyn
welk what is the temp out there today, cause it's dang cold here
hi oodle wb
hi Oodle
helo ooodle
such language Joanne geee
;-)
lol
Hobbit has a tail! Well ....
well i talk like sailor at work so try to tone it down a bit
stop your gosh darn cussing dagnabbit
lmao
a stump? is that too mean?
feel free to replace those 'cuss' words with one of your choice
it's definitely a stump LOL
besides it would do too much damage if it was a proper tail - all that frantic wagging
cold as hell here
ok ... here we go...
agh! it looks worse!
omg wash your mouth out with soap
I dread to think what she'd be like with a proper tail. I don't entirely approve of docking, but I'm very very glad she's docked!
tis -5 here
hehe
(not as cold as it's been, joanne -- about -14c (7f) right now)
welki, I don't see any change. How can it look worse?
cold enough
what is it there Joanne?
evening everyone x

tyty scrabs!!
welk and lyn helped me figure it out
yay joanne
back to the distorted martini (which is okay, since after a couple, they tend to look distorted anyway :)
distorted is good when it comes to martinis
hi all and ty oodle
Welki the Martini looks perfect.
uh oh
hi jmitch - vowel words are always horrid
hi Scrabs
it's just a saab 9/3 aero, but i love it :)
PB for welki!!
well, br asked me if i ice fish .. when i said i did, he asked how much ice i usually catch in a day ... to which i replied, always enough to fill my glass :)
welk!!!
*sigh*
joanne!
Silly Welki!
oh ... fine.
you just want more of those kalhua chocolates in there
very good answer!
well, it certainly DOESN'T look like a saab! I'll have to agree, it looks like a clown mobile to me
*trudges off to pb with her stinkin' martini*
hee hee he welki
can anybody clue the first ex6? I have the "foreign" one
see nef? lol ... it did look funny!
first 3 letters of the other fourth letter and vowels
like that movie that begins with disturb** ... the first ex6 is like the second but with that two letter ending
down to 3 left; all E's
I cannot get either of thos eclues to work for me. :-(
me neither, scrabs
like the time of moses, but with greek ending
think of a strip club it is an ex**** club
ex6 ex & vwl & french for right *r**t
tx dcs that did it
what words are you looking for?
lol got that one straight way oodle
Dictionary helped. Movie was Disturbia
hint: if you choose a low level reformat of your camera's memory card by accident and press "STOP" when you realize you've made a mistake, it's too late.
ex6s, nef
I had to look for it and then I realized
need do6 clue
dan, plural of the one before
dan, wrong clue, sorry
Je ne l'aime pas les D mote au jourd'hui

do + consonant+A waiter is a ***ver
lol!
Joanne, I always give wrong clues..makes me so mad
welk i tried to change icon to see what would happen and omg what a mess
then try to change back with no luck
I never confess to wrong...I prefer "creative" :)
(he's right ... because i know i've already saved all those images in two other places, whereas i know if he deleted memory, even my personal one would be erased)
now chat is wonky
belated congrats on your FW! Nef!
no no annie wrong clues are my job... man taking my job the only one I hazd... boohooo
you can't break it, joanne .. hang on, take a breath and go to "my account,"
*gives job back to oodle* there, there

*sniff* *sniff* ty
click under your photo/icon where it says :EDIT:
babble is very hard to break completely ;)
hi all
clear both fields at the bottom, update profile and just start fresh
should I try just to see???
So my 21 yr old nephew just returned from a trip into town to get food. It has been snowing for 2 days. I asked him how the roads are and his response = "Fun." Not what I want to hear.
hi jmc.
although there was one hacker who did it!
true!
i forgot to change my icon
scrabbs, its NY! how is your nephew doing?
scrabb, that's better than having a nephew who's a white-knuckled driver in snow
hi jmc, Happy New Year
Hi JM
scrabs that is what you want to hear from a 21 year old nephew -- if he was freaked out I would have been trembling in my boots
hi annie happy new year
^5 jmc!
oo do tell about the hacker lynxxx
Scrabbs, Sounds like a fun kid.
This nephew is doing ok--switching major so will graduate 3 semesters late now.
^5 ???
Think Stew and I might take a walk - plus I need to buy a coffee, my machine broke and can't get it fixed for 3 weeks (wah!) BBL
Well, 3 semesters is about average these days.
hacker story?
ouch! have a lovely walk!
he is going to meet friends at the ski resort across the valley for an evening of snowboarding
so sorry lynn I won,t do it again
there was a hacker. lol. end of story!
^5 = on the same wavelength
Bye, lynxxxxie, have a good walk and give Stew a couple of pats for me
njoy your walk, lyn
hi seain :)
now is lynxx could only walk my dog too, he is being a major pain.
Hi dcseain, Happy New York to you and Tom
Why, red?

mine's outside ;)
ty welki I like learning these emoticons
mine are asleep at my feet
yes well....Teulu is and I quote the Vet, "an extraordinarily unusually active dog"
*puts on flack jacket in case there is shooting*
he excells at action...
ohhh ....
what kind of dogs do you have welki
what happened when the hacker hack the grid?
I've just put the cutest pic of Hobbti up on FB
Good plan, JM. *getting Kevlar vest on, Kevlar helmet.....running out of Babble Land altogether!*
who was the hacker? how was the grid saved!
must go and llok at your dear.
see oodle you scared scrabs
the hacker was just a random hacker
* wonders if I can list yet *
i want to look at hobbit, too! but don't know how to find you :(

teulu loves snow though he has only been in it once.
hi nef
congrats, Ata!
LOL! love it! another bouncy dog!
she was soooo bouncy today :) I love just taking silly photos that really show the *bounce* rather than focus perfectly or whatever
hi jmc. I'm done and now just chatting. If anyone needs clues I can help
Hi all, bouncy dogs, flack vests, and fireworks. Sounds like a logical progression of conversation to me.
cu7 clue please
Hi stidgmere

Hi, Scrabs. Nice here today. Birds are happily feeding on the crabs in the seaweed.

Congrats Annie!

thanks. I dont want to leave but I must. Bye dear babblers
* whispers to scrabs...I give, listing *
bye, annie
Miss Bea Bunny just threw her salad pan and is now staring at me. Message = give me my evening salad NOW, or else. So, time to make salads for the bunnies. BBS. Good for you, Pini--less pain now.
I should go too.
you know, it's one thing to have a number for the words you still need to find (i.e., 82 for me); however, it's another when you look at the list and see how many (i.e., a bazillion!)
it's late and I'm tired and I just love your bunnies, scrab!
I thought the grid was fun for the first 130-150; then I had to list. the last 40 or so were like pulling teeth since I'd *thought* I'd already entered them!
i was thinking potatoes take so long in the micro wave then I just remembered telling my mother in 1974 to buy a microwave they only take five minutes as opposed to an hour DUH
Bunnies have personalities, believe it or not
they really do, and I would never have known that without you
technology has pretty much made us a society of spoiled brats focused on instant gratification, oodle
correction: we've made ourselves into a society..... blah blah blah
i always have wanted instant gratification!
oh my...
welk i still can't get that pict gone lol, in between hubby whining about his stomach and i just made him sandwich 2 hours ago
not necessarily a bad thing to aspire to, je, just a disappointment when we dont' get it
and on that note, I really am going ;) *hugs all*
spoiled is such a harsh word, welki....
night ata! :)
asked if he needed a every 2 hour feeding
bye atal
but so true eh
welki nice profile pic
<-- going to retrieve koda...brb
sg hi
Nef I just read you 4:12 post and I so agree!!
maybe harsh, maybe just true :)
bye ata!
hb pini
thanks, sg .. made myself one last night and slept like a baby for the first time in almost a week
lol joanne
hi good
joanne, i still see the mom taxi pic
i think my pict is wonking up the chat
now I am getting mad cause it is taking more than 5 minutes hee hee hee hee
omg i am in the twilight zone and i want out
buy the instant ones oodle
3-5 minutes
Hi jmc! Your're not waiting to the last minute today, are you??
no it isn't bothering the chog joanne
I have two in there and I get these cause I like the taste of the yellow potatoes more betterer and I put back the package of instant when I thought of it the other day... think just a tad but heathier
no no -- it wasn't my fault yesterday -- too many obligations
weird mine kinda chugs along
i stayed up for the flip and got 54 words before i went to bed
just go back into 'my account' and click on 'edit' under your pic ... and put the http://tiny.cc/2kcyK back in the 'fetch icon' space .. update profile and you should be good to go
well you were making ME feel stressed for you
Well, I am so exciting, i spent all night last night getting my books done for taxes
hi Good Enough. Thanks. I'm sort of wandering in and out now; but if anyone wants clues; I can help!
Joanne i see your icon!

poor welki want some grease to help?
hi all -- 77 to go, but expecting the kids to arrive any time now

:-)
ah ok ty
hi DR. I'm done and just here for cluing
I did not know that the state was another word - learned sumthin new today
pl of de4/5,
I think that is a de 5/14, nef
I've always thought that de4/5 was both singular AND pl, but not here!
looking for first de 5/12
that's what I'm cluing, cyber
but that is not the first de 5/12
OOOPS! taking the ai** out of a balloon
first de 5/12 - to remove a gas
see nef
ty geek
deflate
<putting the trificals on straight now so I can read and clue properly>

hi bo
deairs
ooopsie
;)
*goes to find jack in the pb*
you got it, jmc! :-D
do 6 following the fin?
:-D
do 6 more fin
drop the vowel and replace with the more ending
ty geek
don't like that it gets dark here at 4:00
give it a few weeks oodle
hi cyber
I only have Rs and Ss left and Im having a hard time facing them
cyber are you on FB?
yes
cause I play a game called yoville and there is a person there that has the nickname nan... is that you?
use it only for family members, though
oh then it is not you
not me -- only one I play is lexulous
ok
your turn je
good Enough, I ended with 25 Rs, Ts Ss and Es.
<-- plays lex, too ;)
me too (though not very well)
<===plays lex too
we haven't played in a while pini... were you getting tired of getting beat?
science :-P
Like you said nef, they are all getting muddled in my brain
no oodle...if you wanna play, start one up! :)
(and any others who so desire)
jmc...is it my turn yet?
i could make it so pini
and I think dorens the same way but she kicks my but 95 % of the time
brb
dorens kicks my butt, too!
but the last three I have beaten her hee hee hee
well then I am going to start one then
kids just arrived -- 31 shy -- back in a few days :)
enjoy, nan!
I'm going to leave now for a while. Anyone need any clues?
Bunnies are munching on their salads and me too, while water boils for pasta.
Yes, nef--2nd se6/21
No thanks Nef. Check on us later?
bye cyber have fun
Scrabs, se 6/21, and the 2 7s following it are related to making someone sleep
your turn pini in both games
TY, Nef!
putting a patient to sleep, scrabs
ok - brb
and hi all!
Hi nerky!
help with the second Y word I have yi4/7
(I thought you'd know that one, Scrabs!) ;-)
hi nrkii
jmc, same but change vowel
yo
I know the words but eyes didn't see them
yo nef 4/7
replace the vowel with another one, jmc
ty nrkii
ty nef
N, I SUCK at QP but am enjoying myself anyway
Scrabs, you will get better, I know it
what is QP?
www.quote-puzzler.com
I hate the last 2--Word Builder and HoneyComb
sg, the yi and yo are identical except for the vowel
10 different word puzzles every day
anyone else need clues?
yeah, those last 2 are not-timed for a reason!
what kind of puzzles? crosswords?
okay, bye for now! <poof!>
bye nef
bye Nef
*I just heard myself do Curly (Stooge) sound when a word didn't work* LOL
Not crosswords, they're all a takeoff on some other game... there's one that's like hangman, but harder; there's one that's like scrabble, but you can make backwards words too, there are a few that are quotes and you have to rearrange letters to find them... etc.
lol scrabs
sounds interesting nrkii
I watched the Three Stooges marathon on New year's Eve--hilarious!
there are a handful of babblers who also do the www.quote-puzzler.com puzzles every day
it's a subscription site
Stidmama, Ciocia Judy, Featherbee, FranMag, Muse, me, and now Scrabbler... plus I'm sure others I'm forgetting
ah well too broke to make the jump this week -- maybe later
and ... played ;)
Today, N, I figured out the In & Out answer when I was on the out side and I clicked on letters that were IN...Dopey Scrabbler!
anyone heard of Dr. Kaboom?
Hello all
Scrabbler, I do that too.
hi kap
brb
i have 13 000 d words left woooohooooooooo yahooeeeee
hi kaplan
Key thing on In & Out is to type in the answer in the box below as soon as you get it
Don't keep clicking on letters, because every click costs you points
And the concept of creating palindromes is one I must focus on
hi kaplan!
I have to do 52 more words, but only have a half hour- so it will be one of those no-fireworks days
hi Kaplan
your turn je
kaiak, shtik, and knar are my favorite palindromes on Word Builder and Honeycomb
What's new? Boston has a pretty snow, not too much car scraping
alif is another favorite
how is knar a palindrome?
no snow in Jersey, just a lot of WIND
I just got here, may be missing some crucial info
click on letters where... here or at that other word pule site nrkii
sorry, not a palindrome in the true sense of the word
I must remember those, n
What other sense of palindrome is there?
in the games Scrabbler and I are talking about, two allow you to make words that work both ways for double points
Ohhhh.
someone at some point starting calling that the semordnilap mode, as a joke
I have to go check lickety
oh ok ty
oodle, on the other site, I meant
yes I got that
The games are maddening yet addictive. My BP must be in the danger zone when I am playing.
oh no
they are a lot of fun.. have to give credit to the puzzle-maker, who I think has been a babbler in the past too
he was one of our Dougs at one point
I think
crawling toward the finish. getting slower as it gets darker
first + second re6/21's please
does anyone like and/or make crêpes?
love 'em...made 'em once ;)
Go GE go!
my first re6 21 = spoke again
goooooo Good Enough!
TY, n
my second one is to plant again
oh scrab I have a question but more of nutrition than anything else... it is about blueberries which are a good antioxidant. CAn this fact be deminished if you cook them??
Yes, I make crepes.
i make buckwheat crepes
There are a re6/21 + re7/32 in between
Probably, Oodle--cooking denatures proteins
because I am allergic to wheat
those would be the 2 re's I'm missing :)
<-- would love a simple crepe recipe for 1 -- if anyone has one?
and the antioxidant is in the proteins?
<---would love to have a personal chef
i do i do pini
you can "replant" or sit down again...
well, that, too, scrabs!
i will send it to you on FB
I suspect so, Oodle. Check out Dr Andrew Weil's site for reliable info
orsa
I have those, bo, but don't see a re6 in between
or4/5 is one, Bo
I think oodle the antioxidant for blue berries is in the skin, but I am not entirely sure.
ooh, re6 like a town in california
say it again?
Redondo Beach?
re + not a coupe but a ****n
TY, N, no wonder I couldn't see it--new for me
TY Nkrii and Hello.
Hi again, Red
hiya red
17 left--going to check on boiling pasta
18 left here... gonna surge ahead while Scrabs is away
well now down to 46, really should list, but I may list when I hit 30 or so...
119 left
Aha, nerky, I read that!
(evil snicker)
14 left
I still have 9 Rs...and you will probably finish first
droid is not a word?
sent pini
Yes, can you believe it, Red?
Many many left. Time to refill head with something else. Coffee and truffles did it for awhile.
See you all later.
your turn pini and science
I guess I can.
bbye stid
bye stidg
see ya stidgmere!
hello 156 to go
* sighing with relief that jmc didn't pummel me for my last play *
Bye stidgmere
Hi jane
HiHarp.
and yet, red, cu7 is!
I started really early, couldn't sleep stll yuccky sick.
Yes, nrkii, the mysetery of enable.
i cannot for the life of me figure out the last de4
i thought about it but my nonviolent tendencies won out pini
phonetic spelling of letter D + cross
last de4 is chemical in bug spray
lawn chemical = de4
pini did you see my last message about it being sent
* major sigh of relief then * :)
no oodle, but i'll check on it while I'm checking on the lex games
:-)
My monkeys are really helping. I suggested that their New Year's resolution = improved performance here
yes ma'am sorry ma'am won't happen again ma'am
The de4/5 word is a te4/5 word reversed oodleberry

Thanks, sprite. May we all excel in the craft of life.

I am with you sprite!
ok bbye
you're one I can always count on, jmc ;)
Incremental improvements are welcome
BabbleRabble, it's good to see you. I haven't seen you here in a while, but that is probably more due to my crazy schedule than anything
i am predictable! :-)
jmc dear why do you want me to leave??? hmmm????
OK, pasta should be done. Off to have dinner, then turn into a zombie in front of the TV
i haven't seen br either, but i am glad to see him now.
;-)
*runnig after oodle with a fish*
Goodbye Scrabbler! I will see you tomorrow in the log
enjoy, Scrabs.
bye scrabs
bye scrabs, have a great night
ohhh kewel omega 3
okay the heck with it i am listing even though I am not 1/2 way
damn, I let my house get much too cold this afternoon, and with the wind howling around this old house, it's now FFFFFREEZING in here
jmc smart...
good jmc, proof of a free spirit :)
girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, jmc :)
how so red??
put on a hat
nrkii, silly girl. Get out the blankets, thick socks and warm water bottles fast.
thx for the recipe, oodle...looks easy enuf ;)
that's what I do when there is no more oil to heat the apt house
sprite, first, I turned up the heat :)
very simple very easy... I put it all in a blender
ye
well, i'm slogging away now with 39 left and i seem to not allow myself to list.. yet. listing would help...
i turned up my heat and got some jack -- that will warm me up inthe mean time
hehehe of course. But how fast is it back to humane temps?
yw
I'm actually quite happy, because this year I bought one of those "silly" Edenpure heaters, and it's saving me a ton of money on heat!!!
oodle is right about hats....very helpful...
so list red -- it's suppose to be fun
unfortunately, it's up in my bedroom right now...
red, 39 left... you got 80% without listing... get the list already!
whats an edenpure heater?
as a good girl, nrkii, you let hot nights take precedence...
oodle, how many does your recipe make? can I divide it in 1/2?
soon jmc and nkrii, soon.
55 to go
It's an electric heater that supposedly only uses the power of a coffee maker, and it's completely safe -- won't set stuff on fire and burn your house down, your pets can sleep on top of it, etc
whenever it is cold inside, I stand outside, and feel warmer when I go back in ...
hi harp
HI all. 2 to go.
wow sounds cool nrkii
go mixi!!!
go harp!!!
Go mixi6 go!
go mix go!
neat, mrkii. very nice that it doesn't set stuff on fire.
it makes 8 pini
how brutal on yourself, BabbleRabble
BR, that works for me....
hi mixi
jmc, so far, it's been worth the investment... it cost me $400 to buy it, and it's saved me that much in 2 months
35 left. Dinnertime!
jmc your turn
hi Kaplan
wow that is a big savings
bye kap
sounds like a nifty little device, nrkii ;)
well, I'm also being better this year about shutting doors and closing off rooms, so some of the saving is just better habits
but I used about 60% the gas this year that I did last year in December, and the temperature was basically the same
bye Kaplan!
I have a timer on my thermostat so that I wake up to and come home to a warm house but it is quite cold the rest of the time
Maynard G ... been awhile since I last saw a pic of Bob
Just make sure to leave do5/12 to the PB nrkii when you go into the PB. Other might have to follow suit.
I like it cold!
Work!
jmc, when I was working, I would just turn it down when I left, and turn it back up when I came home... the house gets warm quickly
Yep
science you are in texas it doesn't get cold
no problem Min, LOL
Just make sure to leave do 5/12 to the PB open nrkii when you go into the PB. Other might have to follow.
Sorry,I made a mistake so I had to repost again nrkii
admitting that its supposed to get down to 30 tonight and I am not so thrilled about it.
it takes about a 1/2 hour for my radiators to warm my house
Anyway, the edenpure heater is good because I can heat my bedroom at night and let the rest of the house get cold. Only problem is how cold the hallway is when I step out in the morning.... probably gets down to 50.
it is 21 already tonight here
jmc, probably about the same here
well my luxury i guess
It was around 20 when I went to play tennis this morning (inside)
do you call them Rad(rhymes with Brad)iators, or RAYdiators?
Just took dog out for a walk&I can tell you it's COLD!
ray
me too! Silly New Jersey and Pennsylvania people rhyme the first syllable with Brad... so wrong
okay, time to run, must scrounge up dinner... happy babbling all!
hmmmm, I've done both. Maybe 'cus I grew up in Penna, and NJ, and now live in NC.
for the first time in days, bowing out with 61 left. just too tired
that's okay i stand out because i say aunt=ant
they radiate heat... I'd say ray

Jayk, relax.
aw ayk, it'll get better soon - go and have a break
nah you don't, Jayk. You will get there. All is well.
I have officially listed with 38 left.... I wanted to get to 30 but alas, I couldnt bear it anymore.
well i am the wrong horse to bet on good because i don't care
go red go!
* What do you call four matadors in quicksand? * Quatro sinko.
it is good for good enough and bad enough for those who haven't finished
roflolllll
that is one of your best BR
jmc--i think that valium might be what i need! Woke up at 1; woke up a 2; woke up at 4; finally got up at 6, exhausted. bill snores: how to kill him?
red, who cares ;) As long as you are enjoying yourself
I'm impressed by those that can let go...
lol oodle
ty all, my friends. Fireworks.
no no the valium is for you
yyyaaaaay Minx.
actually try a benedryl
earplugs, Jayk. No kidding. They saved many relations.
whoo hoo mix
Yay Mixi!!
congrats, mixi
good job mixi
turn him n his side...for the snoring , sometimes that helps. though you may have tried this.
ear plugs, two benedryl and go to bed before him!
i just gave my hubby a shake and he would stop long enough for me to go to sleep
Oh yeah,RTH, I turn him on his side all thetime--but it occupis HOURS of the night
sometimes the side doesn't work for me
hello
hi lady *hug*
JMC you gonna play your turn????
hi your ladyship
hi infernal!!
Herro
hi herin happy new year!
Sprite Hug. Hugs all round
I dont know Jayk. maybe the valium....
Happy New Year Fern!
hang on science
Try earplugs Jayk, lots here swear by them - special ones you can buy from chemists
my husband uses a cpap, and now doesn't snore. Of course when the fan seized up and screeched I couldn't sleep. I use those nose strips.
okay hanging pending suspended dropping drooping
see, lyn agrees :)
Morning Infernal
Morning. Lynxx what is the temp like in melbourne?
Happy new years too.
beautiful Infernal, cool! been lots of rain yesterday too
maybe super glue his lips together?
ok 305 more to go
Um is it cold though? like Jumper cold?
I can snore through my nose too.
go oodle
that would be unfriendly, BabbleRabble.
sweater cold but I am in T and enjoying it
go
i forgot about the nose strips -- hubby died before their invention -- they seem like worth trying
i do snore through my nose
cheers I have to go home today.
science your turn
ok bbye mixi
for the first time in my life, I slept with my mouth closed after starting nose strips.
sprite how are you?
well I am out a here cause apparently mixi wants me to leave(go)
oodle *smacks oodle with a fish*
FIrewords finally. All credit goes to Jayk and your encouragement.
no no no , you can do the puzzle.
My parents dog just got high as a kite on lavander
whoo hoo bugs
Congrats Bugs!
jmc be nice
congrats Bugs....
Yah Bugs
really herin? how interesting i never heard of that
or I will cry
ppppttttttthhhhhhh :-P
been better, red, but have started on other meds and they seem to be doing their work. Will be a couple more weeks before we really know though. Side effects are bad, one is severe depression. But I guess I can handle a few weeks of depression without doing silly things ;)
Yep. Lavender is a relaxant.
Anyone here need something clued (or tried to clue) before I head off to visit at the hospital?
come on Oodle, pull it together
well done Bugsaw
becareful or I will hugs you jmc
hug
well, maybe you won't get that side effect?
aaaaarrrrggghhhh *runs and hides behind sprite*
and I know how you feel about hugs pfffffffffffffffffffft
already have it, alas. But on some days I do have some more feeling in my feet again, and that is hopeful.
hugs sprite
*broadens shoulders even more and protects jmc*
*hugs lady right back*
best sedative is watching tv. preferably a crappy tv movie. LOL
come to babbleland and we will cheer you up sprite!
*tickles sprite*
sending more fun and hugs to everyone poof
bye bugs
oh yes, jmc, that is one depression killer I use almost daily :D You guys are great.
first ad 5/12 please
ok je
sending invigorating foot rubs to sprite.
*gives sprite and jmc a bear hugs and almost squeezes the life out of both*
bye jmc
first ad 5/12 spanish goodbye
awww red, that is wonderful. no tickling though!
HA!!
*cough cough*
ad*** and goodbye
lotsa groping around here
jmc, see you in spanish
gee i just realized i made it to 200 words without a list
good job TOwl
okay I don't tickle people who don't like it
*smacks ru's hands*
way to go TO
my daddy used to torture me with tickes
not groping ru
hi ru and TO
hi kanga ruru *gropes ruru firmly around the waist*
when i was struggling with everything with Mother babbleland would make me giggle
wtg TO!
ouch jmc, that isn't always funny. I can handle tickling quite well, but NOT under the foot soles....
ty all for the clue *she sa4 belatedly*
doesn't it, jmc! Works most days for me too.
jmc - morewords says poxy is not valid. strange that lex took it
when my son was born i made the house rule that if anyone sa4 "stop" the tickling stopped immediately no arguements
morewords is not the be all end all science
or should i smack your mind ru :D
i know
what'd I do?
Ruru the puppy is very cute...what breed?
golden retriever science
tickling can cause breathing to stop. it's not "just" fun even if the person is laughing, that's a reflex, not a ha ha laugh
RU sooooooooooooooo cute.
I think that is a good rule. My ex partner once had me in a deadlock and kept tickling my feet and squeezing my aechilles heels... still don't like the memory. Nor does he.
ru you promised a new puppy pic!
okay.. coming up
so true, Gwen
Puppy is very cute
ru: word rampage is broken :(
my daddy was clueless because he was drunk but it still gives me bad feelings
brb
I bet, jmc. And being drunk may mean he didn't know, but it doesn't mean he wasn't responsible.
I mean, it still happened to you
no he didn't realize -- he meant well when he was tickling
awww ruru, sweet as sweet!
* yawn * well that was an unexpected nap
i hate tickling.
I know TO.. i have checked a couple of times.. there is no way to contact them?
keyboard depressions in your cheek, Pinik?
lol pini I still haven't caught up
no, but woke to dog in lap! :)
how many, jmc?
104
did i tell you i met a dog i actually liked?
must be off, alas. Bye all, have lots of fun and thanks for making me smile again.
can you see the new pic?
bye sprite and come back anytime you need a giggle
jmc...what were you doing while I napped???
night sprite ;)

Jmc, you woudl liek Teulu, from a distance.

I got the second ex, but I can't figure out the first one.
same here
trying to come up with a clue
oooh, I found the "needlecase" babblet! :)
TempleOwl is obviously in the same boat as we...:)
ex6 is a "pural" of a mass migration
congrats Pini! I always feel smug when I find it without a clue. Unfortunately, I needed a clue today.
like the book in the bible
thx red...I think out of all the babblets I keep being told are babblets that's just 1 of the 3 or so I actually remember! :)
hmmm...guessing that I don't know how to pluralize that word
same here, jee
ty

ty jmc
wtg jee
jmc, the second cu4/7 is what you did for me.

Heyas kids ..
oh how cool! New condo in rittenhouse square has car parking machine - stacks cars in spaces and retrieves them!
hi torg!
still working on that first ex6
hi again torg, I am still here...
there was a garage in houston a long time ago that did that
hi tor :)
hiya tor!
parks 'em for ya?
pini, it ends in 2 vowels
think of tahiti and other Ex**** places.
you mean like electronic valet?
that is the second one red
there are some places in DC, mostly Georgetown that do that too...
kind of like first two letters of pigs noise
oooh sorry, I am bowing out of clueing the second one, its a mess.
i have never seen that
or exactly like first two letters of pigs noise
danke...got it! :)
I think it's neat for a residential place, not wasting any space!
they are looking for the first one
de5 after the not living?
brb - going to warm up salad (pasta)
Is that you JeeWhiz? you do look so happy!
Plural of the not living...
hey babblers, wonder ifyou could help me with my last 2 pls...

Hi, back again for my last 49
its always easy once you finish Gort

*Congrats even
uh oh no good moveis tonight i may be forced to clean or something.
hi Dinok!
whoo hooo gort!
ooh, picasso show coming to art museum in february!
Congrats Gort!
How ya doin jmc? No pressure - I remember, its just for fun!
what? no, haven't finished . . .
thanks jmc
sign up for netflixs and then you can watch movies on your computer whenever you want TO
congrats gort
lol 95 left good
dies irae is a phantom
Finally finished off the O's
good going Gort!
thanks dinok, how's yr progress?
pb oodle
but I don,t think that is a regular word
thanks red, tell me more about this netfix business jmc
oh not much but I am only dippin in for few minutes and for the company
I find I can chat or babble, but not both!
can someone tell me about the movies "9" and "All about Steve"?
i know what u mean, din, the great advantage of being a woman is that you're supposed to be able to multitask, but i can't even duotask
so the thing about netflix where they send you a movie whenever you send back the last one for a 10/month subscription also allows a certain number (I don't know how many as I have never maxed it out) to watch on line
de5 after the not living one?
I want to watch 9 --- all about steve is suppose to be a romatic romp
so presumably they don't send to rural australia?
pl shirl
LOL gort, mere man here so no chance
prbably not gort but maybe you can subscrib to the on line movies
purty pls
de5 take the 'oxygen' out of the tyre
still, perhaps you can reverse park with ease, din?
clued it shirl at 6:28
o lord, another easy one, thx lynxxx
dease
opps
that always reminds me about the joke 'why are women such bad drivers?'
add another syllable herin
cack
er ... back
Sorry about that
*cackles*
I can reverse park well. My friend taught me this technique and it seems to work. position the car correctly, with the passenger window by the back window of the car, then three turns to the right and three turns tothe left. pretty much always works.
* giggle *
what is reverse park? parallel park?
SO can my wife, but we have reverse parking sensors on our car, so guess that doesnt count
no Temple Owl - head to tail
?
parallel park from the front i think
yes, TO its paralell parking, what we in the states call paralell parking.
oh, maybe i can retn "Up"! that would be fun
i want to see Up!
okay taking a break
Man, with the list I am sad to admit I missed a lot of plurals.
bbl
I hate when that happens ..
Wow, totally different here. Parrallel parking is parking at 90 degrees to road.
i think we call it reverse parking in oz, cos at no point is anyone parallel to anything - being antipodean sends blood pounding to the brain and we don't know which way is up half the time
unless I am confused, its hard to describe. 90 degrees to the road/
Hi tor, what happens?
here, it's parking parallel to the curb
?
whatever way you do it, of course, parallel parking is ALWAYS impossible :)
What red did ..
But you know it seems we rarely have to paralell park.
oh, dinok, what makes women bad drivers?
hi NB
Cos men keep telling them what six inches looks like
I do it when I go to work (parallel slots are the best parking for my office) ;)
teeheehee din
too bad I'm usually later than the other employees who have figured that out!
look, there's nothing wrong with driving an extra hour to a different county to avoid a reverse park situation
I'm off - Bye all, have a good evening or day
Parallel parking is one of those things that is a vital skill in a city.
night lynxxx!
toodle pip lyn, thanks again
goo dnight lyn
help w/the first 3 io words please
Nothing at all, gortmold...parking at all is awful. The dreaded reverse park kept my driving license from me THREE times
Maybe that's why people move to the suburbs. So they don't have to parallel park.
bye lynx
NANNNNCY
jeff, io6 = io + calendar reference
parallel parking only type of parking allowed on public streets here in Virginia.
HERINNNN :D finally caught you!
Hey NB!!
Hello, i think the internet is working again.
yeah, when i rule the world, parking will be banned and we'll all get about on hovercraft
then various endings for the next 2

YAY diz! hello all -- just poking my nose in to see how Pini's week went?
hi stidmama!
hey, stiddy!
hi stid.
very quiet, stid...except the boss keep emailing me! :(
I have to go to the office tomorrow :(
had a great day with gdau! :)
that's a bummer, pini. it all piled up on you? lovely that you had a fun time. I was thinking about you!
i accidentally made a sweet and sour tomato sauce with my pasta tonight.
aw, how old is she, Pini? My gdau left today.. 27 mos old and constantly on the go
the house is sooo quiet now
oh oh, gotta go. stidkid needs his dress pants. we need to be at his friend's church in 45 minutes! *sigh* *poof*
not piled up really, she just can't do things for herself...which means that for every day she sends an email and I respond, means one less day of vacation I'm going to claim! :)
she's 9, Aloy :)
hb stid ;)
(and have fun)
nice, Pini!
is that a good or bad thing, dc?
it' tured out fine, pini, it was just surprising
we had lunch with my PiniKidB and then went to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks, the sqeakquel" :)
accidental creations that can be recreated, dc, can be really good!
* and I've apparently killed the chog *
this one will have limited recreatability, as i made it with some of the magnum of sweet table red we have on hand. And i don't usually keep sweet reds around.
still, dc...if you ever do, you have something new you can make with it :)
that's true
hello seain
chipmunk song now cycling in my head
good evening, TO

I am drinking a "between the sheets"
sipping champagne here (-;
can you explain "betwwen the sheets" for us less educated folks?
new year's resolution.... to drink my way through the Williams-Sonoma Bar Guide
um, what is "between the sheets"?
brandy, rum, triple sec, lemon juice, simple syrup
LOL - risque question there aloy
sounds great! care to share???
wowzer, kje!
3 parts brandy to one of rum, triple sec, lemon juice, and 1.5 of simple syrup - easy and quite tasty - shake with ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass
there are more than 400 in here - so will need to just taste some
OK! ty for the recipe!

Go Pinikula go!

Pini - I often pick up silly plurals and verb forms towards the end of the grid. Happens to us all.
ae4 + took a chair
ae7 = ae4 + didn't stand.
phantom: idiot

di7 help please?
I'm a little drained, havng been on MSN with a friend who has the son from Hell, and he's being Hellish again tonight. Think of all the awful things a teenaged boy can do and he's doing/done them. Tonight, in freezing temperatures and with no place to shelter, he is holding his younger brother 'hostage'.

The da 4/5 is January 3, 2010.Here's my second clue paragraph for the year. Spent Christmas in Vermont with my family. I never like the long ri 4/5 up there, but it is worth it in the end. Niece and nephew were so cu 4/6 with their exci4/5ment for Santa to come with his 8 reinde4/5. Now that the holidays are over I must go on a di 4/5. Pretty soon I won't be able to fit through the do4/5. As much as I ad 5/12 X-Mas, I am glad it is over. I did get a do 4/5 of reality today when hubby reminded me I have work in two days. It will be very hard for me to ri4/4 early in the morning and ea 4/4 back into the swing of things on Monday. I have an id 4/5 to call in sick on Monday.I would not give one io4/4 what my boss would think of that.But sometimes my id5/12 are not so good&I do the right thing instead. Well I have sa 4/5 all that I wanted to say at this time. I hope some of you got some cu 4/6.
di8 is the past tense, feather.
not good, jac...
No, Pini. She's gone off line now. I hope she's calling the police.
Well done again Min!
yikes...I hope all works out!
good one, min ;)
oh, dear, jac, yes, police is the best thing it would seem at that point.
Lovely paragraph of clues, Min! I'm sorry to hear that, jac. I hope she's calling the police too
Min - I love reading paragraph clues. I haven't done any of those for ages.
ty Min!
Hello car.eeyore! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
Pii - so do I!
de5/12 and 6/21 first ones plz
Hello car.eeyore.
hi, eeyore
de + oxygen
de+ what we breathe and plural, tijani
tij - to remove the oxygen from and verb form for the 6.
and pl
de5/12 is de plus what we breathe tijani and plural it
I need a clue for the ea 5/10 please?

HI Car

hi car
e + silver tape
first 5 letters of what we are suppose to get in school
danke ;)
silver tape, silver tape! It's repair time in the city
and it's too bad i can't spell! lol
An ed 5/16:d***** means to minus or subtract Pinikula
* giggle *
OK, so then the ea 6....totally different word then?
Strictly speaking ai* is composed of mostly carbon dioxide, then oxygen, nitrogen, argon, a minor percentage of other gases plus water vapour.
all of the ea are related ;)
i'm stuck on the do6/21
the big ea5, plural
New Orleans is also called the Big ea4, make it plural
more of the do5 Feather
add *mergency *oom to the do4 before it
tyvm!
Thx Dawg! Couldn't see it to make it work!
ea6 adds vowel near the end of ea5 word car.eeyore
FIREWORDS! :)
Well done, pini.
congrats, pini
woohoo Pini !!!
whooooo hoooooo PINI!!!
Congratulations Pinikula on fireworks! Good for you!
Yeah Pini!

yay pini!
thx all! :)
WTG PINI
I am off once again. I might be back later on tonight.
Bye Min! Have a great night!
ea6/18 is perhaps a decription of simple flipped fried eggs?
bye Min- take care
bbye min
later, Min
'Bye Min.
*description, I meant.
haven't played this in over a year and am totally stuck on the te7
pl the state (te5) before it
whodda thunk?
pippin - welcome back! te7 is a plural US state.
more than one Lone star state, Pip
i would never have thought of that as a word!
thx
actually, it means a very large state room on a steamboat. had to look it up.
TY!
I was about to type that lbd. LOL I had to look it up, too.
er 5/12?
er5 = wear away
great icon, eeyore :)
Ugh! Again! Must be tired!
water will er5 rock
TY DC! We lovingly call this the Holiday Family Portrait!
LOL Wonderful! :D
I wish the local foxes would just eat the left over turkey leg we've put out for the past 2 nights, rather than just keep moving it around and taking the odd bit off it. We have to take it in by day so the cat doesn't eat it. We have visions of the foxes with cell phones going from garden to garden reporting on what is on offer... 'Turkey here, mate'. 'Turkey here as well.' 'Sick of bl**dy turkey! Don't these humans eat anything else?'
we had afox in our backyard when I was growing up
er5/12 is to wear away.
it had 2 pups but they left when the skunks came
dinner time- bbl for my last 53 words
DR - baby foxes are cubs.
baby foxes are kits
oh- ok sorry and thanks for that- I did not know
We've got 4 cubs this year, but they're sick of eating turkey. LOL.
ours ate dog food
we called the mom Fantasia
lbd - kits is another term but not one we use here in UK.
firewords
DR - they do like dog food, yes.
wtg dc ;)
Well done, dcs!
Yeah!
whooooo hoooooooo DC!!!
WTG DC- I off to eat dinner now... steak adn lobster
thanks, yall :)
i just realized DC and jac have the same icon. i thought i was just seeing double! lol
Excellente dc! At least I can see someone getting fireworks.
entertainingly, my last word was 1st ad5
Steak & lobster? What an odd combination.
ok DR I will be over in a bit
ooooh, i''ll take DR's left overs!
LOL, dcs. Spanish goodbye to you, too.x
very popular in the states jacula
refresh for new pic
(camo boy's first haircut)
Hi oodle. Is it?
they have steak and shrimp, steak and prawns and even steak and eggs
he's just too precious, Pini!
You learn something new every day here in Babbleland.
* proud Nonna smile *
yes, jac. We love to combine our beef with lots of other goodies
Steak and eggs I understand, but not steak and seafood.
why not
we mostly eat our steaks for an evening meal, so add seafood to it, and it's double delish
or shrimp cocktails as an appetizer?
Because most seafood other than tuna or shark has a delicate flavour that should only be enhanced by lemon, vinegar, dill or a beer foam sauce with fried potatoes and salad. Steak deserves respect all on it's own for its flavour.
good evening stidgmere
Pini - seafood starter is fine, to clear the palate for the meat.
:)
Hi dc. Trying to pin down 84 words and thinking about steak and lobster that has come up in the chat.
Jac, you'll just have to try it sometime. it really is a delish combo
Hi Stidgmere!
I was only questioning steak and seafood all on the same plate.
i don't care for either steak or lobster, but i can see where it would be distracting for most.
stidg...camo boy (5 mos) had his first haircut today (see icon) ;)
Unfortunately, Jac, most people in the U.S. aren't that in tune to the flavors of their food.
the surf and turf is rarely straight fish, it's almost always shrimp or lobster
Surf & Turf is not uncommon here, jacula
I think it's a bit much together, too, jac and dc
Such a sweetie pie Pini!
Rather, having steak and lobster used to be something of a status symbol -- affording both in the same meal.
in Spain, they are served in separate courses
* grin *
Lobster is not on my food menu as I think it is very cruel, even if you hypnotise them first, to boil lobsters alive. I don't eat veal for ethical reasons, also.
to be honest, i usually eat the lobster and save the steak. i can have steak anytime. but lobster is the treat!
dcs- separate courses are the best way, as I said, each one clears the palate for the next.
Fireworks!
oy. 40 left and now it's getting hard!
whoooooo hoooooo CAR!!!
go pip!
TY all for the great clues tonight! Now I shall hit my sheets! Good night all!
My Other Half, like his Dad, won't have fruit sauces with meat, saying that fruit belongs under a crust in a pie with custard on top. I try to explain how each sauce, whether herb or fruit, works with each meat or fish dish, but if falls on deaf ears.
congrats car!
'Nigh Car. Sleep well.
nightnight, car
what does the other 8 word start with? I have di ox ox re
3 ox8's
ox, geegee
there are 3 ox8s, i've only gotten the last 2
ty
help with the final er5/10 please?
er+ open ***ame or ***ame street
aha! thank you muchly, that was driving me nuts.
feather - Gaelic languages, should be, or an actor reh... sounds likes end but not same spelling.
1st ox8 is the plural form of thr ox7/52 before it. Hair bleach.
ox8/75 = the past tense of the ox7 before it. ox8 = ox + 'ego' + 'not very modern'.
3rd ox8 = the verb form of the ox before it. (Or think plural, if it helps you.)
it's tht ox7/52 that i will never get, apparently
(the first one, not the second one)
she says and then immediately gets the word. i am lame tonight
lol
greetings ... any clue for the ae7?
ox7 (1st) = ox + personal pronou + what you might be in if you were hit on the head - a d*z*. Change 3rd letter.
ae4 + took a chair
never fails, geek ;)
Hello paperfolder. Clue is ae4 + didn't stand.
hi ori
ty Jacula!
hi lbd ... ya'll having a good new year?
too early to tell, ori. got a cold. but got my xmas stuff mostly packed up.
Hope you feel better lbd ..
thanks, torg. i'm sure it will be gone in a few days. just have to go with the flow.
I'd say I finished packing up my xmas stuff...but that would be lying since I never unpacked it! :)
(and I, too, hope you feel better soon, lbd)
lol, Pini. I didn't unpack all my stuff. just the tree and lights, garland and a few ornaments. had to pull out the xmas towels, too.
no sign of it in my house this year...
all i took out this year were lights ... and they are still up. i've been stiffening fabric and folding origami boxes with the fabric as new years' gifts
...it was everywhere else...so I didn't worry about it too much
not that anyone noticed the decorations.
how fun, ori!
you need to show us your work, ori
hope you feel better soon lbd
oh, that'd be fun, lbd, if she did! :)
i'll take some pictures and post when they're done
oh, kewl, ori!
i admire those with artistic talent.
i just follow directions well :-) if i draw a tree i have to label it
lol, i don't believe you ori.
* giggle *
i'll post a tree drawing also :-)
Xmas stuff should not all be packed up until 6th Jan (Twelfth Night). However, I've noticed that all thosee eager beavers who lit their houses up on 30th November aren't putting the Christmas light on now.
my artist friends say i'm a "primative" artist...read that as pre-stick man!
primitve art has its place alongside all other forms of art, lbd.
hi all, love your latest Maxine, lbd!
Hirbud.
Hi rbud! it's a repeat of last year's january 1. didn't have a new one for this year yet.
don't think I've ever seen a Maxine cartoon I couldn't relate to, lol!
i've been in and out, buried in the grid and tv. all business here...help with the first ex please?
yeah, i know what you mean. she really does tell it like it is.
pl mass departure (or 2nd book of bible)
lbd - how about, 'New Year? What new year? Each one's as bad as the next!' (That's a short form of what Other Half said on NYE.)
SS, DY, then? ;p
He's a mainly cheerful soul most of the time, except since he hit his 40th birthday (last January), this NYE and his 41st birthday 'looming' on 19th Jan. I'll be 53 in April and I'm wondering what the hell HE'S got to be gloomy about! LOL
oh cr*p, i forgot to get birthday cards for my uncles! thanks for the reminder, jac
ok pini. i'm being dense. could i have more of a nudge? my first thought, exodus, of course doesn't work.
LOL, lbd, y/w
I never have trouble with the 0 bdays, it's the 9's that get me, I find myself thinking, "I'll never be 40-anything again, wahhh!" at 29, 39, 49, etc.
feather - the first 4 letters of the word you thought of plus 2 vowels.
change the last two letters to Olive **l, feather
use the first 4 of that word and add olive **l :)
* snap * lbd <<adjusting foil hat>>
thank you!
apparently, I cried when I turned ten because I didn't "want to be a double digit"!
rbud - I know just what you mean, though I did have a small blip about being 50.
*grabs foil cap from shelf!*
ooh, ty, would never have monkeyed that!
lol, angel!
lol angel!
birthdays don't bother me. as long as i still have them, i know i'm still alive.
does anyone play farmville and want a new neighbor? i just started playing and most of my friends don't play :-(
Angel - I felt the same at 9 and birthday dawning, too.
don't play it, ori. sorry
sure, ori - add me as a friend, leslie vernon
not me, either
i'm listed on the babblers worldwide page too
We're not alone, Jac...I read a poem a few years ago, "On Turning Ten", and it was all about the end of childhood. I felt vindicated for all the times my family got a chuckle from that story.
back
origami - since my daughter, her boyfriend and most of their friends still feverishly farm in case things die whilst they are visiting me, using my pc to do so, I have not succumbed to that particular Tamagotchi-like time-waster on Facebook.
2nd te 6,18 plz
Now, of course, I play it for laughs! ; )
front, jmc
zoe - verb form of te5/10 (to make fun of).
the plural of the te5
hello babble friends!~
i'm always looking for time wasters ... farmville, origami, meditation, babble :-)
yo trif ;)
Hi Trif.
hi Trif
AArgh, pippin, it's the verb form not the bloody plural.
lbd how you doing darlin?
hi trif
done pini?
*tiny voice* i just joined FB & started playing it a couple of weeks ago, ori, I'm Rose Thompson (in pretty pink Santa hat at the moment) I'm in Friends of Babble on there - ooh, should also check out babblers worldwide, I guess, huh?
thx
i never have to look for time wasters they find me
Sorry! It's the English teacher in me coming out. I apologise for my outburst.
well sure but it's a faster way to say it
i'm doin', jmc. can't breathe thru my nose, but i'll live. how are you doin'?
they find me all the time, too
my mother's a grammarian, i'm used to it
it's okay jac we love yous anyway
babblers worldwide: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gi d=7142845212
and it *can* be a plural if you consider the te5 to be a noun, often used pejoratively
i am fine it is cold and windy here though 16 degrees with 30mph gusts
Well, enough words to satisfy me tonight. No fireworks but that is okay. Pleasant dreams everyone.
bye stidg!

pippin, you have a point there, about the perjorative form.
where are you from bernie?
Southwest Michigan
o sorry hi pippin happy new year
the night gang is pretty easy going. lots of laughs and silly talk
*looks at left hand to firgure out where bernie is*
Welcome bernie. Ha! 'My precious!' *rubs hands together in anticipation of a new victim.
the early morning crowd of brits is fun too but more particular about cluing
you have a map on your hand, Jmc?
no that is what michganders do
of michigan. i do too.
that they do indeed!!
jac, but only after the fact - i was saying it as shorthand for the 3rd person verb form. just a lucky coincidence this one fit.
i am trying to show how clever and worldly i am that I knw that! lol
does it help?
don't forget the skinny dipping, jacula! Lots and lots of skinny dipping!
so what were you cluing pippin? i missed that part -- a te word?
Baaaaaaabblers !! Nice to see you all !!
it does help because Michigan is shaped like a hand
Are michiganers like people from Norfolk in UK? Unlike most other folks, they can count to 12 on their fingers? LOL
ohh did someone turn on the hottub?
aussie! happy new year
AAAUUUSSSIIIEEE!!!
someone asked about the 2nd te7 and i said it was a plural te5
Happy New Year to you all !!
Hi Aussie. We're all just slagging each other off here as normal right now.x
Hi guys... back to see if I can finish this thing tonight
no no jac it is that the state of michigan sorta looks like your left hand lying flat if you look at the back of it
Hi beach!
HNY to you, too, Aussie.
hi beach happy new year
Ok Jacs.... I'm not going to join in the berating of each other..... i'm too tired.....
i wasn't slagging any one *pulls foil cap on tight and pouts*
jmc - not inbreds there then? LOL
HNY jmc
ty pippin i will take that information and see if I can do anything with it
more accurately it looks like a mitten. or an oven mitt.
I've been doing something fun on Facebook.... It's called Walk For The Cure (Cancer)
no no jac that was not the point lol
Aussie - don't worry. You chat or do the grid, whatever suits you.
**makes self extra strength foil cap**
Hi Aussie
if you care about cancer i recommend folding at home
I am not gridding tonight, too many words, and not enough time !
I am walking on facebook jmc.... it donates milliseconds of research time for Cancer, the more teammates, the more miles you walk..... The more miles you walk, the more time is donated to researching...
fortunately i need no foil cap, my head is hard enough!
Coming into Babble and not gridding is a concept entirely foreign to me, unless I'm in Devon with no internet access other than by cell phone. I can say a quick 'Hello' from there, but doing the grid or chatting would cost a fortune.
lol pippin !
folding at home uses the unused bandwidth of your computer to find a cure for cancer as part of a supercomputer
pip, are you saying i've got a soft head? lol ;-)
I am too tired to see Jacs.... I'd not get past 10 words right now.....
i grid whether i can finish or not since i care not in the least about the scores
stop making me laugh you guys, I will never finish!!!
*lifts lbs foil cap and checks* no its hard enough
Hello Trifioso!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
rofl lbd ! well..... I am off, just wanted to pop my head in the door.... It's 10 to 4am here, ninite all, sweet dreams, where 'ere ye may be xoxox
**poofs**
oops so sorry trif i will behave *splash* *jumps in hot tib*
Aussie - it's okay. *Here's a hot water bottle and a nice warm blanket.*xx NOT a sarcastic post, btw.
lol, thanks jmc. thought that knockin' was my brain rattling around.
howdy min. tired but happy - how are you dear?
nah, i'm just extra sturdy. comes with having a crappy job where people are mean to you regularly
bye and love and kisses aussie
if you upgrade to pro do you get more information about the words?
ya know....the cures for cancer already exist but at this point it is such big business that people stand to lose big profits if they made everyone healthy
sweet dreams, Aussie1
**Aussie knows Jacs was not being sarcastic** **really poofs**
yes, gee. you get the tile stats and fireworks
I am tired also. I came back to change icon and then I'm off to bed. Been in and out of here all day Trifioso
no gee gee the best way to get more information is using lickety's list -- link under teh grid
ok guys gave it my best but really too tired, see you all tomorrow!!!
cut off their roughage and they may not be mean regularly
i think i may have to call it a night. i'm just monkeying at this point
o i forgot after a few days use lose the tile stats
Goodbye Enomis65! I will see you tomorrow in the log
89 left (my monkeys are having too much fun in the hottub)
bye eno
here's something fun - -- guess what secondo got for christmas today from my dad and his wife?
Goodbye pippingeek! I'll see you tomorrow in the log.
25 to go but my cat wants to eat the monkeys
nightnight, enom, and Min
what trif
nom nom nom
I'm tired now, and my friend who I was staying up for re the family crisis she had going on has now come back to me to let me know how it's panning out.
and they are so busy running from her that i can't get any words found
a special collector's set of Pez dispensers -- characters from the Wizard of Oz, in a special presentation box. it's so cool!!!
bad cats! squirt them with a water hose!
night night, Pip
is it looking up, jac?
but it's in a cat's nature to chase monkeys!
kewl, trif!
ooookay if you say so trif
most of the cats i know would know a monkey if it bit them
i'm heading for my pillows and softer tissues. see you all tomorrow!
hahahaha
I say so, jmc
night lbd
bye lbd *gives lbd some lavender for her pillow*
well then it must be cool
* places ibuprofen, glass of water, and kleenex on nightstand for lbd * feel better!
ahhh, you all make me feel so pampered! *poof*
such good service we get here in babble
there cannot possibly be 7 er words
My lords are ready to leap into the next grid. Bye all!
It hasn't panned out quite as I think it should have done, i.e. her older son spending a night in a celll after holding his younger brother hostage, but, it's how it is, and her hubby might leave her when he wakes up and finds their eldest son is in the house again, but that's his fault for opting out of the drama earlier by getting drunk and going to bed. It's time he started being a man.
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
goodnight min dear, and sleep well
oy vey....
yikes that is a bad story all around jac
good lord, jacula, what a mess!
bye min sweet dreams
they're not that bad, jmc - start with e + a flower
I'm off to warm my cold bits on my nice warm partner, yet again.
sounds like oldest son may well benefit from a night in jail
well, THAT was a lot of information, jacula, lol!

75 here, thanks to you, dear one!
thank you fellow farmville babble fans ... i think i successfully sent a friend invite
add franmag too, she is a farmville maniac
ori, I am more in need of a way to tell my FB NOT to invite me, as I don't farm - I must get 10 notifications a day, alll useless....sigh
you can block notifications from certain games trif
me too but if you hit the do not accept notifications from this application you wont get them
oh, seriously? thank you!!! will check that out!
you can select "block this application"
and that's uncool on your friends part... you have an option to only send to friends that use the app
second cu4/7 please
what pini said
also you can block it from your feed too, there's a "hide" link on the upper right on every post
cu4/7 = rhymes with British "lined up"
Had to sign back in after thinking over jmc's post to me of TMI (too much information) about warming my cold bits on warm other half. It's not an orgy, you know. Just one body cuddling up to another and probably making it flinch in its sleep. If you want TMI, you should read the stories I once used to write for female erotia mags.
And those wouldn't have been TMI either, since they weren't personal.
it was a mild te5 jac sorry if i sounded to harsh
oh my, jac!
actually, that was me, jacula
well i guess it could be tmi depending on how wild of an imagination you have
Okay jmc. Or Trif. I've made my point though.
LeslieAnn - that was going yo ber my next point.
okay, i can't leave yet, i have to know what the second ex6 is! it's killing me!
I am somehow glad to hear that there is erotica just for females. do they make female oriented porn too? I Have always wondered that....
2nx ex6 = foreign...
some people think that NYC is ex6 but I think that Guatemala is
they do make female oriented porn
2nd
yes they do trif both for hetero and homo
oh man, that makes me feel stupid
Female erotica mags died in the 90s.
i should have seen that right away!
Playboy for guys; Playgirl for girls
meh, it's a twisty one, pip
no worry pipping I always ask for the fish!
okay, now that my brain has calmed down, i really am going to go to bed (i think)
* I serve tartar sauce if requested *
night geek!
last de 5/22 please
bye pippin
except does anyone really think playgirl has a majority female audience anymore?
Any mag now that claims to cater for females usually has a man behind the so-called female boss. They don't pay promptly either, so a friend who I recently directed to one tells me. She wrote theeir sex horoscopes for a year and didn't get paid for a year.
haha i missed a few posts and pinik was all, i serve tartar sauce and i thought we were still talking about female porn
is paygirl stil around?
de5 = recover from drug/alcohol via de***ification center
no clue...
(on playgirl)
ty pini
bummer jac
yes, levi johnston (sarah palin's daughter's baby daddy) just posed in it
*gag*
Playgirl died, so far as I know, some years ago. Scarlet magaxine is the newest one supposedly for females.
no worries Trifoso ... i only sent invites to folks who eplied they played ... it is weird ... i get invites from people i have never heard of
but it's widely viewed as catering to a gay audience these days
Anyway, taking my writer's head off now and going back to what I was going to do before - warming my cold bits on a nice warm hairy (and probably snoring, but I can dig him in the ribs to solve that) man.
night jac :)
I am jealous, jacula....
enjoy that, jac!
enjoy jac
i will go snuggle with my cat so i can be fresh for work in the morning
night pipping
goodnight pippin
WILL SO! Especially if he brings me tea and biscuits in bed later.

wereyou surprised at your surprise party that you guessed?
holy cow, dorens!!!
how did you dau break her arm?
Wow Dorens! Quite a party!
it never ends
oh thanks pinik. at first i read your clue "3 liter ocean" and i had no idea what that was
she was ice skating with friends.. fell and of course stuck her arm out to break the fall
oh j, i was so surprised!
ltr = letter ;)
lol good job dorens!
i need cu7 clued again :(

an electrical part jill
(her)...I know, jmc...I did say I'd check my email (if I could); however, she insists on emailing me via my personal email account. I think I'm going to have to have a talk with her tmw or monday to tell her to stop since I work for the state and if my personal account is used for business then it, too, becomes public...UGH!!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
i'll have to consider spending the money then, that makes it nicer
whoo hoo dorens and happy birthday
nicely done leslie
thanks leslieann!
it is only a one time charge rather than a subscription
I will have to practice making fireworks
pippin it is worth it... dr. god deserves far more.. this is the best bang for your buck (if you're a wrod nerd like us). ty j.. and good night all
not going to wait and see the next puzzle, then i'd be up for hours!
Yay, Leslie!!!
maybe i'll have a flag next time i'm here
lol that is the problem being around for the flip
i'll be waiting for it pippin!
back in the day that is all we had for fireworks!
ok...jmc...question for you...
you ol'timers!
yes pini?
yes i had to walk uphill to babble both ways
if I'm contacted on my vacation to "work", I shouldn't claim them as time off, should I???
lol leslie
don't forget through the snow, leslie!
indeed. 3 feet.
well the question is probably answered based on whether you are an hourly employee or not pini
salary + OT
okay, just checking
more specifically, (yeah I'm lurking) exempt or non exempt...
(and I took the vacation so as to spend down some of my vacation time because I didn't want it to cap out and end up loosing any new accrual)
then you would have to look at your contract -- you might quaify for some kind of comp time at best
hi circe
non-exempt
happy new year
hi....everyone (still struggling with my last 38)
go circe go
so you should get paid for that time.
last call for clues before sleepy time
well if she is salary and not hourly that may not be true even if she is nonexempt
last two re words leslie
but in order to spend down my vacation time I'm not supposed to be working...
o's ousted
re5 = lay grass down again
is it use it or lose it?
to use your eyes again (plural)
yes, jmc...
ty leslie
you can be salary and get OT, sounds like non-exempt...in which case if take 8 hours of vacation (a day off) and end up working 10 hours the next day, for a total of 34 hours the rest of the week, then you get overtime ...
when is the de4line to use it
if you spend more than 15 mins doing work on your own time, you should be able to request pay, wether they chooseto provide Comp time or extra pay. It won't be time + 1/2 until or unless you actually work +40 hours...vacation time is the pits for answering work related calls...
circe sounds like this is something you know in your sleep
If you are non exempt, they can't legally give you comp time, unless it is in the same week
sorry, accoutant in me.... LOL
but since she works for the state of washington there may be some quirks
33 left
r's routed
well, I earn a certain number of hours each month toward vacation; there is a cap that can be earned; anything beyond the cap would be "you snooze, you loose"; so, in order to retain the vacation benefits I've earned, I take vacation days...
hello 25 to go
there may be, but in generaly exempt vs non is a federal thing and they can get in deep crap for not following the rule. If you are non exempt and are asked to stay late and don't get paid for the OT you are talking huge fines. Company I know got slammed...big time.
hi harp
Good night Leslie. Night jmc. I thinkyou might finish in spite of it all
...but if I'm expected to work during my vacation then what was the point of taking time off? if I'm working, then I can't spend it down :(
hello harp!
I'm a state gov't employee, exempt so I don't get OT, comp time or any extra pay. AZ allows comp time to be earned in lieu of payment, and depending on the agency comp time must be used the next pay period or accrued until the employee chooses to use it
maybe good -- good night
so If you took a week of vacation, and worked too, then you have technically earned OT during that time. They don't want to pay it then they can make you exempt.
wow, good point, circe!
ro5/12?
yep Pav, there's the difference. Exempt vs non. Can suck both ways, depending on how you look at it.
with this little circus of clowns, I'd have to argue the OT during vacation, so figured I'd just reduce the vacation time taken and try to take some more vacation later...
help with the se7's please?
or ro7 -- i'm easy
put to sleep harp
gads, will I NEVER remember to put an s on the end of words? I swear, half of the time my lickety list is words I forgot to pluralize...sigh
ro7 = flower + consumed
you can try that Pini, but be aware, it may be a catch 22 if you are non exempt. They can't legally comp you time for another week if you are a non exempt. You might want to at least take it to HR and let them make the call so you aren't stuck with nothing (if they try to say that they can't give it to you later. blah blah)
ty pini
harp, add endings to the se6 before it
how about the first ro 5/12?
imo, anyway! :)
s's stomped - 10 words to go!!!
5 now....
oh, they can give it to me later...I'm a single-person office and they're required to be "reasonable" in allowing me time...I don't think "reasonable" is defined as making me work during my authorized time off...otherwise, what's the point?
we have all our non-exempt staff select in advance which to receive OT, comp time, or either...if either the agency gets to choose for them, and we usually pay out comp time when earned....we also have a cap on accrued vacation time...240 hours for non-exempt and 320 for exempt...I took my vacation late this year (thanks mom!) so I wouldn't lose any time, but I still ended going in for a few hours on Thursday...so I won't take that day as vacation at all...that's a benefit...we can claim a full day's pay after working just an hour...
guess I don't have the preceding words either
ro5/12 = pl of the ro4 (ro + *ver *ose)
before an operation you are often se7
hiya, PAV! good to see you!
sounds similar to me, pav...
thanks]
last year, right rbud! tee hee!
we cap at 260
yep, so true, PAV, lol!
glad that you are in a flexible enviornment Pini! (and Pav) -- at least you aren't working for free during vacation. :)
3 to go . . .
go jill go
well, here's wishing you (and all my Babble friends) the bestest and happiestest of New Years!
so, pav, as a state empl...if you take the 3 days off before xmas and the 3 days off before ny; but work on the 20-21 (SM) and again on 30,31,1,2,3 (WTFSS)...what would you claim, if any, as vacation???
happy new year to you too pav
thanks, PAV, same to you! (((hug)))

great pic, pippin!
ooohhh pippin how wonderful!
welcome to pro pipping
go to your profile and say what country
whoo hoo
to show your little person icon and flag, mark "show profile" under My Account ;)
hi sixty
gorgeous
bye again
*poof*
hello jmc and all
welcome, pro pippin!!!
hi 67
hah, now i'm all the way official
**dunnit**
there ya go!!! welcome aboard the Babble train!!!
but in your case you prob worked M off Tu We Th holiday Fr, worked M off Tu We Th holiday Fr..you say you worked Sun Mon x hours, plus vaca t-th for another 24 hours and holiday fr for 8, you'll need to document at least 8 hours on Sun or Sat of either week to get time+ 1/2 otherwise any time you claim will be paid at straight time....if you reduce your vacation hours to match what was worked, and can used them later, why not?
did Miss Jilli finish? and hip hip hooray for Pippin!
welcome, pippin!
that's what I figured, pav...will adjust my scheduled vacation time off by the days worked...
yes, I finished, Pav :)
so, if I was scheduled to have MTW of both weeks off (TF of both were "holidays") and worked on the 20, 21, 30, 31, 1, 2, 3 (6 days), then basically I took NO VACATION!!! right?
yay for Miss Jilli!...I haven't been playing much since the summer and lately had too much to do at home and work, so now the family is back where they were I can live again...
would that be fair?
congrats, jilli!
well, welcome back to the grid, pav! :)
what do you divide a six letter word by to get the points again?
divide by 3
3, I think, trif
thank you!
4 x 1, 5 x 2, 6 x 3, 7 x 4, etc
you'll have to check with your HR/payroll office, If you actually worked on designated holidays, you may also be entitled to Holiday pay, which might mean time + 1/2 or just straight time, plus another day or period of hours to use as "holiday" when you are able to do so...that is how we do it in AZ, but of course we're different...
thanks to pini also - i always forget!
1 last word to find.....
I'll do that, pav...thanks!
clues available here now
I have 183 left? it's way beyond asking...once I resigned myself to just having fun when I could, the game became much less stressful...

so how far away now, ruru?

ea 6/18?
I blew away my wife's friends with a special New Years meal.. they couldn't believe it..
ea's are all related; just change endings
brb phone
thinking bars during prohibition...speak ea6
the ea6/18 is a pl noun form
good clue, pav
Thanks, PAV and jilli!
oooh, nice clue, pav...
ty
re 6/18, the first?

oh, paparu...is mamaru as excited???
se 6/32, the second?
ru's on the phone, pini
oh, that's right...sorry! :(
se 7/32 is another version of the 6
Oops, need se 6/21, the second...
se + calendar reference
or se6 = put to sleep
se6/21, dignified
then add letters for the 7's
then pt, then pl
Fireworks! Thanks to my Babble buddies!
actually, it's not really plural is it, pini?
wtg jellen! :)
yay jellen!
YAY jellen!!!
WTG JELLEN!!!
I think so...the se6 7 7?
not pl, present tense
wtg Jellen...! and I reached my goal of 100!
well is it a noun or a verb?
the 6 is present, the 7 is pt, the other 7 is pl
wtg pav!
Yay, PAV!
nah, it's a different form of the verb....
not a plural
I believe it's in medical reference? to "calm" someone or put them to sleep (to calm)?
Free to clue for the next minute...
im sticking to that!
the second 7 is present tense of the verb "to se6/21"
#105 was the yellow cab
git'r dun, pav!
* giggle *
maybe not ;)
If the se6/21 is "dignified" it's an adjective and there is no pl for an adjective
well see how this next one is...to git 'er dun..
