hi lyn

5:03 am

ok where is everyone

5:03 am

it is sunday everyone is supposed to be up for church.... gee ;-)

5:04 am

Canadians and US are asleep aren't they. Lots of people finished quickly too - clever clots

5:06 am

Some from the US are night owls and play along with all of you

5:07 am

hi Dalmation

5:08 am

well I am not... but I am an early bird anyway... don't like getting up in the morning either... go figure ... and where are you dalmation?

5:10 am

boy Oodle, so cranky today!

5:13 am

good morning

5:13 am

cranky?

5:13 am

I live in CA - right down the street from Disneyland

5:13 am

nah...

5:15 am

oh wonderful my most 'favoritest' place in the world ... not a good experience

5:15 am

Wow - must be busy neigbourhood, does that suit you Dal

5:16 am

favoritest - good phantom today

5:16 am

well sorry if I came across that way

5:17 am

I cannot imagine living anywhere else. We are no more than a couple of hours from snow or ocean. Things are open 24 hours a day. Too many people and too much smog but nothing is every perfect.

5:17 am

not at all Oodle - just joshing you

5:18 am

good morning everyone from snowy New England

5:18 am

hi Eva & Merp

5:19 am

where in New England?

5:19 am

so far this has been a very cooperative grid

5:19 am

usually in Vermont dal, but in Boston right now

5:20 am

Have you ever been to Nova Scotia?

5:20 am

yes, I visited a couple of years ago. Beautiful!

5:20 am

how's life lynxxx?

5:20 am

After hearing the music from that area I would love to visit

5:21 am

slow, pleasant, nice weather, green from rains we have had - pretty good actually Eva

5:21 am

I don't remember where in Australia you are from. One of my closest friends lives in Sydney, where she moved from Adelaide. We met while she was studying here and I've always wanted to visit, but the length of travel is utterly daunting.

5:23 am

I am from Melbourne, Victoria...in between Adelaide & Sydney sort of. MRP/Lickety and Andree are from Sydney. It's not that far, I am sure your friend would agree

5:24 am

well when I lived in ft lauderdale and when I did there were no 24 hour places there

5:25 am

My friend is 20 years younger than I am and likes traveling. I have always hated it...the process that is. ONce I get somewhere Im fine, but flying is torture for me. I've always dreamt of having the time someday to go by ship.

5:25 am

snow in florida? I don't understand

5:26 am

Dalmation - LoriP is from Nova Scotia - online occasionally

5:26 am

hey oodle-did you get the storm up there too?

5:27 am

I was going to drive back to Vermont yesterday, but am snowbound until tomorrow.

5:27 am

Keep buying those lottery tickets Eva..we have just had a monstrous new cruise ship leave here for Sydney. Can't remember what US actor was on it

5:28 am

dunno haven't looked out yet... but if it was a storm I don,t here any wind... and I have been to nova scotia, PEI, Madeleine Islands and New Brunswick ... beautiful places

5:29 am

I've read up on freighters, which are much smaller-only carry a few dozen passengers, none of the cruise ship hoopla, but still comfortable accommodations. That sounds much more my cup of tea. But it takes longer, of course, because of the stops they make.

5:30 am

I will have to look for her -thanks

5:31 am

it is very calm out side... don't see even any wind... but to what storm are you referring

5:32 am

maybe it didn't get that far north oodle-Vermont is getting between 1-2 feet of snow. Started last night and is going through tomorrow morning.

5:32 am

what kind of dog is that in your icon lynxxx?

5:33 am

looks like a grey hound or a whippet

5:33 am

it does, but a bit more massive in build

5:34 am

the biggest problems with freighters is that you have to use their scheduled stops and sometimes there is not time to get off or there might be a delay. I have a friend who took one and she loved it. There were only about 6 passengers. They ate with the crew. No planned activities and lots of stairs to climb to differnt decks. But she enjoyed every second of it.

5:34 am

Greyhound Eva...photo got squeezed in a bit

5:34 am

probably the angle of the photo... or it might be an afghan?

5:34 am

well, the first 184 words flew by...now things are very slow

5:34 am

s/he is beautiful lynxxx

5:35 am

afghan! no crocheting on my dog

5:35 am

ah HA my third guess was right

5:35 am

oh

5:35 am

That sounds wonderful dalmatian! I love being on the water, so don't know if I'd care much about not getting off often.

5:36 am

he is lovely Eva, Stewart Little by name. he came with that and I didn't bother to change it as little kids love it

5:36 am

there is a hound same build as the two latter but furrier

5:36 am

The cruise ships have always sounded like my idea of hell....crowds, constant activity, lots of drinking. Plus I'd weigh a ton by the time I got there.

5:37 am

No dress up nights on a freighter so can take lots of casual clothing.

5:37 am

He looks strikingly gentle and wise.

5:38 am

I would love to do that .. now a days people treat tourists, customers, clients as numbers... all we are are a way to make them money or a statistic that's all

5:38 am

Oodle - perhaps you are thinking of a Saluki, not as much hair as an afghan

5:39 am

never heard of dressing up on a train... what class do you travel dalmatian??

5:39 am

Some day dalmatian. Although I have to say that I am quite content with staying home. It's mainly that I miss my friends who live aborad. When I was younger I went to Israel quite often, and then once to Uruguay, but not much travel aside from that.

5:40 am

no never heard of that one... had the world book encyclopedia when I was growing up and always looked at the dog pages

5:40 am

not a freight train Oodle - a freighter as in cargo carrying boat

5:42 am

ohhhhhhh well I would enjoy that if they could garentee that I didn,t get sea sick

5:42 am

it is getting to where it is a pain to fly with all the security issues. It takes hours and hours to get out of Los Angeles, CA

5:43 am

and now I understand about dressing up ... kewel ... eating with the crew would be neat... I would ask a lot of quesitons... think my mother would even like that

5:44 am

The main thing about a freighter is you have to be able to entertain yourself as it is a working ship and it does not cater to tourists. I would enjoy it myself.

5:45 am

sounds like a great opportunity to meditate, read, write and just watch the sea.

5:45 am

well it sounds it would be a lot cheaper than a cruise ship

5:45 am

it is less, but still expensive.

5:46 am

Wonder if it would be cheaper than the cheap air flights you can get nowadays

5:47 am

no-flight is still much, much cheaper.

5:47 am

what is the name of your dog again lyn

5:47 am

sayku?

5:47 am

Although they are working ships, they do supply you with excellent meals, services, etc.

5:47 am

No, I have confused you. Stewart is a Greyhound

5:48 am

And he doesn't mind being called by a rat's name?

5:48 am

although I think that was spelled Stuart, wasn't it?

5:48 am

Mouse I think. No, he's doesn't seem offended

5:48 am

yes

5:49 am

no what is that name you said

5:49 am

A Saluki

5:49 am

I looked at the afghan and the head is much more furry..

5:49 am

you're right lynxx-don't know why I remembered him as a rat

5:50 am

You are probably thing of that other animated movie...Ratatouie ?

5:50 am

ok yes it would resemgle the saluki more but is it a new breed? cause I never saw it in the encyclopedia

5:51 am

no-some old children's book.

5:51 am

maybe the rat from Charlottes web.

5:51 am

Saluki are a very old breed, one of the originals they say. Not very common in Western countries

5:52 am

amazing the things which can be "iered" or "iested"

5:52 am

ok I missed something why are we talking about rats now hee hee hee

5:53 am

yes! Just finished off the w's.

5:53 am

oh probably in eastern europe... because I don,t see people usually owning dogs in the middle east and certainly not in asia wher eyou WOULD NOT want to bring your cat let alone your dog

5:55 am

they are an arabian breed Oodle, greyhounds are probably of the same origins...sight hounds.breed for hunting in the deserts - both would go back to ancient Egypt in one form or another

5:56 am

oh ok ty

5:57 am

43 left and time to take a break. see you guys later.

5:58 am

bye Eva

5:59 am

don't see the middle east as dog loving countries... now france I think goes over board with there dogs... they even allow them in restaurants which I think should not be allowed ... however here dogs are like as in france only they cannot go into public buildings

5:59 am

bbye eva

6:00 am

good day

6:00 am

Hello Sprite!

6:00 am

hey lyn :) How are you doing?

6:02 am

All good, boring myself with this grid but not tired enough for bed yet. Have you started yet, I give you about 45 minutes!

6:02 am

lyn you know the corner 'n' please

6:03 am

that easy? Ok, will jump in :)

6:03 am

ne4.4 hawiaan goose

6:03 am

(I know - i can't spell Haw etc!)

6:03 am

ohhhh i fergit about that one

6:03 am

ty ty

6:04 am

hehehe lyn

6:04 am

just a mental block I have - one of many!

6:05 am

it doesn't matter at all, because everybody knows what you mean

6:07 am

How are you Sprite? any good news

6:09 am

again a little more feeling in my feet. Especially the upper side of the toes. And the side effect of the meds that has been bothering me most (severe depression) seems to ebb slightly. We are going in the right direction at least :)

6:09 am

thanks for asking, lyn

6:10 am

That sounds hopeful! Will the meds have to be 'forever' or just until you get your feeling back?

6:11 am

no, they are supposed to replace my other pain meds. They work on nerve pain only. It is weird stuff, but if it gives me back some feeling in the feet and it can replace the morphine, I would be most grateful.

6:14 am

one day Sprite you are going to get past all this - you are amazing

6:15 am

I dont mean to butt in but I have nerve damage in my feet..sprite, is that your malady too?

6:15 am

amazing why? But I hope you are right about getting past this. It would be so marvelous.

6:15 am

hi Annie

6:16 am

hi lynxxxie

6:16 am

hi miss annie

6:16 am

hi sir oodle

6:16 am

hi Annie, how frustrating! No, the cause is probably in my lower back, but the neurologist couldn't exactly pin it down. The meds are an experiment of his. I was rather negative about it, but it looks like he may have stuck gold.

6:17 am

Because you live with all this 'crap' and seemingly function pretty normally - beloved by your family and all here!

6:17 am

sprite, could you tell me the name of the med. I will talk to my neurologist about it. I would appreciate that.

6:18 am

my rule #1, lyn: to let my loved ones suffer as little as possible from this, lol. And they are incredibly loving and great supports as well. With so much love and all the other blessings in my life, I try to stay grateful and not linger too much on the handicaps and pain.

6:19 am

it is called neurontin, Annie, but that is the brand name. Let me look up the rather weird real name of the stuff.

6:19 am

can anyone give a hint on the second in 7/28 and the in 9/

6:19 am

It is gabapentin. I take 3000 mg. of that everyday.

6:19 am

ah there it is: Gabapentine

6:20 am

sprite, look at my post right before yours. I have been taking Neurontin for years.

6:20 am

does it do any good for you, Annie? I am still in the building-up phase, taking it very very slowly because I often have bad reactions to meds.

6:21 am

in9 means to start something, like a protest or argument

6:21 am

sprite, the only way I would know is to stop taking gabapentin and I am very leery of doing that. But I do have pain.

6:21 am

Hi everyone.....is it a friendly one today or what??

6:21 am

in7 in and what the stars on the US flag represent

6:21 am

hi Flask, very friendly. Easy, in fact.

6:22 am

Hi Flask, I havent started yet.

6:22 am

hi Flask - very friendly - lots of ends

6:22 am

Great!.....Music to my ears!

6:22 am

thanks lynxxx

6:23 am

ah I see, Annie. I wouldn't stop taking it! I am to build this up to 6 pills a day, and build off the morphine after that. But headstrong as I am, I already started taking less morphine. So far, I can handle it. More pain, but also more feeling in the feet.

6:23 am

I have no feeling in my feet.

6:24 am

do you know what caused that, Annie?

6:25 am

sprite, that is was is so frustrating. I went for all the tests (even the painful EEG) and they do not know. I have peripheral idiopatic neuropathy.

6:26 am

same here, they don't have a clue why the feeling is disappearing. Had all those tests as well. Idiopatic, lollll. Doctor lingo for "we don't have a clue".

6:26 am

How long has this been for you Annie?

6:26 am

Right! And it started so slowly I didnt know what was happening. I have learned to live with it.

6:27 am

lynxxx, It is about 10 years.

6:28 am

I admire you, Annie. It is driving me bananas. I already have much trouble walking because of pelvic damage. And not feeling my feet is not helping. I would prefer pain over not feeling. But we don't get a choice, do we.

6:29 am

sprite, and I admire you. We learn to muddle on the best we can and we do a pretty good job of it.

6:29 am

wow, that is a very long time. Could you give me some pointers? As how to handle it? Like how to handle wounds you don't feel, and how to learn to balance without feeling your feet?

6:29 am

*hugs Annie and smiles* Muddling on, now that is something we ARE good at!

6:31 am

Oh sprite, I do not have wounds to deal with. My balance is not that good but I manage. You are very young. Are you diabetic by any chance? Hugs back to you.

6:32 am

no, that was the first thing we checked. No diabetic at all, thanks God. Ok, I will keep practising, and trying to emulate you :)

6:33 am

sprite and I will emulate you. I am sure the Neurontin will give you relief. I will keep you in my prayers.

6:33 am

How amazing is this babble arena - who would have guessed you 2 would have the same problem. I hope you can help each other out a bit!

6:34 am

I hope so lynxxx. sprite is a dear person. Now I am going to make coffee. *muddling into the kitchen*

6:35 am

lol

6:35 am

Annie already helped me. Knowing I am not the only one is great, though I would wish for Annie to not suffer from this. And knowing one can learn to walk without feeling the feet is also great.

6:43 am

did I lose connection again or is it all quiet?

6:44 am

just quiet, I'm fading - but waiting for your fireworks - only 3 mniutes left

6:45 am

I'm back with coffee...anyone?

6:45 am

lol, I chatted way too much for that. Still need about 30 words.

6:45 am

no thanks Annie

6:45 am

oh please Annie. I love coffee

6:46 am

not just before bed, lyn :)

6:46 am

*pouring a nice fresh cup of coffee for sprite* cream and sugar on the sideboard*

6:47 am

lovely, Annie, thanks. And I will hold you in my prayers as well.

6:47 am

Thank you, sprite

6:47 am

(and not just for the coffee)

6:48 am

LOL. I have my morning coffee with my babbling.

6:49 am

I always enjoy the time zones, and marvel at chatting with friends who are in different parts of the day.

6:49 am

sprite, is it lunchtime for you? and I wonder what it is for lynxxx.

6:50 am

almost bed time for lyn

6:50 am

after, even, it is 10 to 2 in the afternoon.

6:50 am

this friend is off to bed - goodnight friends! (close to 11pm here Annie)

6:50 am

sleep well, lyn, and dream even better.

6:50 am

bbye lyn

6:50 am

Hello, everyone... Would someone mind telling me how many words there are for todays grid, please?

6:50 am

233 Sheimi, and hello

6:50 am

good night, lynxxxxie, sweet dreams

6:51 am

Hello Sprite, thank-you. And good night, Lyn. Come back soon!

6:52 am

yw Sheimi and good luck. It is a gentle one today

6:53 am

Yeah... I still doubt I'll get fireworks though, lol.

6:54 am

you might with this one, I think. But don't let wanting to find all words ruin your pleasure in playing :)

6:54 am

Of course... I find Babble quite relaxing, it's a nice laid back game that you can take your time on...

6:55 am

oh yes! I totally agree. I don't like time-limited games where you must go against the clock, they stress me out. 24 hours is enough for me, usually, grin.

6:56 am

Lol, I don't like games where you go against the clock either, I find that hard because you're trying to think at the same time as watching the clock.

6:57 am

I also tend to block on the inside when I get stressed. Couldn't find the simplest words if the clock were ticking.

6:59 am

Yeah... That's why I like Babble, sometimes the grids can be either really easy or really hard, but even if it is, you can still take your time... Way better than rushing to beat the clock.

6:59 am

:) Glad to have you with us, Sheimi!

7:00 am

Aw, thanks! That's kind of you to say, Sprite. :)

7:01 am

I'm gonna be off now, will be back soon! :)

7:01 am

Bye Sprite, have a good one. xx

7:01 am

well I mean it. Nice co-players really add to the fun.

7:01 am

bye Sheimi!

7:06 am

fireflies. Smooth and problemless. Bye all.

7:07 am

Congrats, Sprite! You are fast and brilliant.

7:15 am

fireworks

7:16 am

congrats anike

Bye for now - happy babbling

7:29 am

minster

7:29 am

7:29 am

ne Hawaiian goose

7:29 am

oops! pb for me boo boos like that is why I don't chat! LOL

7:30 am

and he4 don't know how to clue it

7:30 am

Off to the PB with you, plebian>>>>>>

7:30 am

plebian, there are bagels, cream cheese and coffeei in the PB

hello

7:31 am

lovely, worth making the boo boos

7:31 am

7:32 am

pleb where do you live

7:32 am

ty oodle

Happy New Year to you too Annie

7:32 am

New Mexico, USA

7:33 am

HNY happy new york!!) your ladyship

7:33 am

:D

7:33 am

it gets cold at night this time of year eh plebian?

Hey I am finally home. And then we went to the store and the car battery is dead so we are not going any where (ok I am not)

7:35 am

yes, I live mid state, high desert. was 29 at 5:30 am -- not so bad

7:35 am

Oh dear. Sorry to hear that.

7:35 am

and I think the city condemned the PB ... don't you see all the 'police' tape around it

7:35 am

cold is below zero

O well.

7:35 am

oodle, I took the tape off.

Sorry Plebian Cold for me is 10C

7:36 am

no then people don,t know it is condemned and it is very dangerous in there

7:37 am

like for me lady when I was in florida... I was FAREEEEEEEEZING

7:37 am

oodle, it was never condemned. Babblers keep the PB in wonderful condition.

7:37 am

I don't

Oodle are you not in the land of - 30?

7:39 am

oodle, What do you not like about the PB? It was beautifully set up by FM. Click on FM's profile when she comes on and you will see our PB>

7:39 am

Later, must go poof! Thanks for bagels and cream cheese

7:40 am

anytime, pleb...just say the word

7:41 am

the reason being is when you say PB it brings it out more then if you say nothing... sometimes I don't even see any words that come up in chat until someone points it out which makes it worse

7:41 am

No it doesn't...that is the fun of it. It is all in fun, sir oodle

7:42 am

furthermore I have enough problems expressing myself already and I can't be bothered with making the hints for words I write in normal chat

7:42 am

Good morning to all!

7:42 am

oodle, I think you express yourself very well.

7:43 am

not fun

7:43 am

Hi Scrabbler...Did your nephew enjoy snowboarding?

trying to decide if hubby is the world's nicest man or just a complete suck up

8:15 am

katie, definitely the nicest

8:15 am

either Katie, enjoy

8:15 am

Keep training him to be the former--more authentic

I wonder if I can arise early and impress teh b.f by retrieving a car battery

8:16 am

he has just driven over to Mari's to sort out their TV in the half time of the soccer after yesterday spending the day reflooring their lounge

8:17 am

herin, that would certainly impress the BF

I have got his car details.

8:17 am

Great for him, K! I am impressed!

8:17 am

me too, I would never have thought of it bless him

8:18 am

what a great guy you have there Katie

8:18 am

herin, Then do it. I am sure he has done many nice things for you.

Katie Ask what he wants

8:18 am

Mari did inform me a few months ago that if we ever split up she wanted him in the divorce settlement

8:18 am

Past halfway--BBL

8:19 am

herin, so take it off his hands and be the good GF that you are

Annie I could also probably do an oil change and semi service

8:19 am

LOL, Katie

8:19 am

no seriously herin he is just like that, I keep telling Mari they finally have the child they deserve

That is great Katie. I was being a bit of a smart arse. The other half does things to suprise me

8:20 am

herin, That would be very nice. Make a nice start for the new year.

my Uncle taught me how to manage things on cars

8:21 am

It is 9:20 here and I promised to take Bobby to the Brooklyn Museum to see the Egyptian collection so I want to get ready. Bye dear babblers. Go for it, herin.

8:37 am

sorry have them all, not easy going back - must be he4/6

Hi all. Bichon, sounds like the plural of an evil laugh, as in he* he*

8:37 am

Or he plus male possessive minus the vowel.

8:38 am

ty Sally

hi haz!

np

8:38 am

Hello! Good morning/afternoon all.

Hi Haz. Are you still leaving your poor dog out in the snow and ice? :-)

8:39 am

morning Haz

8:39 am

hi Haz

8:39 am

Whisper it softly, lest people think I've gone soft. She slept inside last night.

lol Haz

well you would not if you were here. it's 22 with a wind chill of zero

8:40 am

Husband went to bed, what he didn't know didn't disturb him.

8:40 am

It's still very cold here, no sign of a thaw.

8:40 am

A bad night for Biscuit is that he has to sleep on the bottom end of the bed and not sleeping on his own pillow between us. Of course he's only 16 lbs

When we first found our cats, they were restricted firmly to the office and utility. Now they are both sprawled out happily in front of the log burner!

8:41 am

This is the 4th day of snow, probably the last

8:42 am

TO - your Bonhoeffer quote, so true, so right on - so often ignored/forgotten

Bichon my friends dogs which weigh between 60 to 120pounds depending which dog thinks they are lap puppies

ty bo. i often need reminding.

It snowed again a little here last night, then froze on that. Our garden and lane are lethal.

cbs sunday morning profiing johnny mercer. love him

8:44 am

need a clue for te5 following the canvas dwellings, please?

8:44 am

Sally, the pavements in town are similarly lethal. Freezing streets, a skiff of rain = skating rink.

8:45 am

Hi everyone. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...We have a good foot with no end in sight.

8:45 am

I ended up clinging to a drainpipe, a nice man helped me onto the road.

keep it. we hava gale force gusts with lethal cold

8:45 am

Hello, gramma.

You sound just like me Haz! I am terrified of the ice.

hi and night all

8:46 am

gramma - was born in Burlington - your comment reminds why i do not miss it...

8:46 am

nite herein

8:46 am

Bye herin.

8:46 am

I don't mind driving on ice as much any more now that we have anti-lock brakes. And I have something to put over my boots which has spikes in it

8:47 am

g'night herin

bye herein. hny

8:47 am

I've seen those advertised bichon, so they do work?

I've decided to get some of those, bichon. I have to go over the garden several times a day, and it isn't level so in the ice it is really difficult. They are called Yaktrax

8:48 am

Yes, they do. There are "Yak Traks" and something I gust got which actually have mental spikes in them. All work

Mental spikes?! LOL

8:49 am

hi everybody, lost power during the night and my computer wasn't working all day

8:49 am

super, they'd have been great when we lived near Toronto

8:49 am

Hello, ruby.

8:49 am

shew

8:49 am

hi ruby

hi ruby

8:49 am

oooops ruby?

8:49 am

Oh duh!, that's funny, not mental spikes, but metal spikes

8:49 am

hi bo

Good start, Ruby!

8:49 am

sorry about the word duh! pb for me

i could use some mental spikes now. or maybe spikes of mental activity. at a standstill with 66 to go

8:50 am

I need a mental spike right now, not getting te5 after the canvas dwellings

i hvae the 9 but only i 8

8:51 am

te plus the start of precipitation, flosey.

8:51 am

ah, thanks Haz

8:51 am

8:51 am

Well done, flosey!

yay flosey!

8:53 am

congrats flosey

8:53 am

whispers to Haz "did you say inside?"

8:53 am

the s on the rightmost column, any clues?

8:53 am

congrats flosey!!

8:53 am

*Whispers back - yes*

They are both plurals of words starting from the other S, bichon

8:54 am

I left my heating on constant even when we weren't here over new year as it was cold lol

8:54 am

st6/18 (I think it is) St**** of Georgia, off west coast

8:55 am

they still sulked when I came back

8:55 am

Dogs are much more grateful.

8:55 am

I have the body of water st, but it doesn't come the rightmost s

8:55 am

Ruby, you joined. Hooked already?

Plural it and it does.

8:56 am

crumble if thick enought to be grateful, rhubarb is not! Casty couldln't care less

8:56 am

It's the plural of the type of jacket Houdini liked.

8:57 am

ty

8:57 am

got one of the S words (right column) - don't see the other???

The other word from that S is the plural of the machine-gunning one.

8:58 am

ty again Sally

8:58 am

strafe

8:58 am

ooooooooops

8:58 am

right you are bo

8:58 am

that was a new word for me

Bad bojazz!

8:59 am

thx Sally - sorry for the goof

8:59 am

flosey, you mustn't have read too many Biggles books.

We all do it. I'll put chocolate brownies in the PB for yoiu.

8:59 am

bo, enjoy a cup of coffee and treats in the pb

8:59 am

i promise not to do that again - until the next time lol

8:59 am

hello sallyds, you changed my life!

9:00 am

*flop*

Lol Haz. I was brought up on those! I was very ill when I was small and my mother turned to my brother's books to read to me.

9:00 am

Hello, floppy.

9:00 am

I'm off to finish the laundry, be back at fliptime

hello, ata

9:00 am

I always liked the Jennings books and Just William as well.

9:01 am

For the better, I hope!

9:01 am

hadn't heard of those books Haz

I devoured books as a child - still do now.

9:01 am

I loved Biggles

And hallo, Ata.

9:01 am

They're really books for children, but well written and very funny.

9:01 am

<- Haz, refresh :)

Well written is the key. I still read children's books sometimes.

9:02 am

(The Jennings and Wiliam books, I mean. Biggles was a bit more gung-ho and warlike)

Love your happy picture of Hobbit, Ata.

9:02 am

Alan Garner. Some of the best kiddies books ever, and still incerdible to read now

9:02 am

Bouncy Hobbit!

9:02 am

she was soooo happy and bouncy yesterday!

Don't know those ones.

9:03 am

9:05 am

I liked Noel Streatfield as well.

hi flask

9:05 am

Yep....yer right there, Haz!

9:05 am

Hi TO

So did I Haz. All the children's classics I think.

9:06 am

There's mi8 - plural type of church, think York and West...

9:06 am

oh yes, Noel Streatfield

9:06 am

not sure TO

9:07 am

te8/50 - how old is your canvas dwelling?

There's me 8 - not a vegetarian meal

oh my - what a dolt i missed those!

Ooh, ty for the te 7 and 8 Haz

9:08 am

You're welcome. Apart from those, comparatives and superlatives rule.

brb

well i searched my list and only found one. so i may not have the root words yet. with 45 left, time to get ready for lunch.

9:13 am

so far I've managed to avoid writing an assignment all weekend. I think I'm doing quite well in procrastination

9:14 am

See you later, TO.

9:14 am

clues please for qu6 and qu7 please?

9:14 am

I bet Einstein didn't procrastinate.

watching "highlights" of this decade. no wonder folks are glad to see it go.

9:14 am

qu6 - French for four, and plural for qu7.

9:15 am

bet he did. I must have got it from somewhere

9:15 am

9:16 am

9:16 am

You're welcome, Flask.

9:18 am

9:18 am

She is. She's about to skid off for a walk with husband. It's like watching Bambi.

9:19 am

looooool poor Spangle! Now I'm imagining Lyn's Stew in the snow. He really would be Bambi

9:20 am

the right column s for NBT plz

9:21 am

what is "NBT" please?

9:21 am

what Biggles does

9:22 am

No blank tiles

9:22 am

st7 - either the type of jackets Houdini liked to escape from or st7 - think Biggles and machine gun fire against the enemy.

9:22 am

no blank tiles :)

9:22 am

did I tell you my recent stand for correctness of language, Haz? talking about the Houdini word ...

9:23 am

ty haz

9:23 am

You're welcome.

9:23 am

Do tell.

9:24 am

I bought a gorgeous card a few weeks ago of the Menai St6. Looked on the back and to my horror it called it the "Menai St6s". To anyone Bangorian, that is a travesty. There is only *one* Menai St6. So I wrote to the publisher and informed them. Waiting for a response (ha!)

9:25 am

Don't expect an answer any time soon. They probably don't care.

9:26 am

I'm sure

9:26 am

but I felt better

9:27 am

good for you Atal....

9:27 am

What is a Menai St6?

9:27 am

we used to get failed on our assignments / practicals if we called them the Menai St6s LOL

9:28 am

well God thats for us to know....and you to work out!!!

9:28 am

lolol

9:29 am

poor poor Gothaab!

9:29 am

I hate to see people say Happy new years!!!

9:29 am

godthaab...google it

9:31 am

'morning, folks (google of Menai St6 comes up empty .. just advertisements for merchants)

9:31 am

like St**** of Magellan

9:31 am

ok.....a cllue....if something is not squint...what is it?

9:32 am

so, i gather it's a street. more than that, why is it special?

9:32 am

(no photographs come up either)

9:32 am

it's a big bit of sea between Wales and Anglesey

9:32 am

narrow channel of the sea joining two larger bodies of water

9:33 am

so why would you call it Menai St6?

9:34 am

ohhhh, what an idiot i am! nevermind

9:34 am

because that's what it's called LOL

9:34 am

<-- is having first coffee. that's my excuse :)

9:34 am

wrong st6? :)

9:34 am

:-D

9:34 am

Don't worry Welki.....you're not alone...!

9:34 am

very good excuse indeed

9:35 am

i'm thinking, "how strange to call it St6, why not Str8?"

9:35 am

Menai <- http://tinyurl.com/ybey7l3

9:36 am

I walked over that bridge nearly every day for 3 years

9:36 am

Some day there'll be a blue plaque beside it to confirm.

9:36 am

fireworks!

9:37 am

next to Telford's one

9:37 am

ohh, it's lovely! thanks, ata!

9:37 am

isn't it beautiful!

9:37 am

Congratulations, Angelsong.

9:37 am

congrats, angel!!

9:38 am

now i want to move ... looks like the fishing there wouldn't be half bad either :)

9:39 am

there's a lot of good trawling out in the Irish Sea :) But I bet you're right

9:42 am

(btw, just for a little added hilarity, my google search was for 'menai st6' ... no wonder there were no results!)

9:43 am

looooooool :)

9:44 am

<-- always best to be able to laugh at oneself ... that way, you can be almost certain not to upset anyone else :)

9:44 am

sorry, but that's made my day :)

9:45 am

glad to bring tears to your eyes in a good way *lol*

9:46 am

have you got a nice big mug of coffee no? :)

9:46 am

now!

9:46 am

i do, but to be honest, it really has nothing to do with the lack of coffee. sometimes i'm simply a bonehead :)

9:46 am

aren't we all!

9:47 am

depends on who you talk to *lol*

9:48 am

well I am on a regular basis lol. Only Haz is perfect

9:49 am

Except when it comes to knowing Star Wars things.

9:49 am

even perfection has flaws

9:49 am

And dealing with needles and thread issues.

9:49 am

I'm not good with numbers.

9:50 am

I'm hopeless in crowds of people.

9:50 am

And I've discovered that I'm no Torvill or Dean on ice.

9:50 am

Apart from that.....

9:50 am

looool. noone is. apart from Torvill and Dean

9:51 am

I know.

9:53 am

but you do have a Spaniel of Glory and George Clooney in a cupboard

9:53 am

This is true. Those are significant redeeming features.

9:54 am

and could write your own cookbooks

9:55 am

i wish i had an admiration society, even if only one member

9:55 am

The market's flooded with cookbooks, I'd have to think of a different angle.

9:56 am

no Northern Irish cookbooks though?

9:56 am

Ata and I could start up an admiration society for you and then there'd be two members!

9:56 am

we love you tooooo welki!

9:57 am

Two members to start with and I'm sure we could get more very quickly.

9:57 am

means i would have to start sharing my peculiar talents ... like being able to do a matrix move while falling onto the sidewalk (because the front of my coat shouldn't get dirty)

9:57 am

What are your admirable features, apart from being Canadian?

9:58 am

she appreciates spaniels, that's a good start

9:58 am

i've sunk an unsinkable boat

clue for the in6/18 after the in6/24 please

9:58 am

Did the people on board admire you for sinking their unsinkable boat?

9:58 am

that's quite impressive!

9:58 am

in6/18 - put in something somewhere

9:59 am

they waved from the floating dock. silently. until i surfaced and gave a thumb's up. and then they still were silent. until i started to laugh. and then they cautiously joined in. (can you tell they were husband and children?)

10:00 am

So, you sank the boat under yourself?

10:00 am

what was it? a RIB or something?

10:01 am

RIB - rapidly inflated boat?

10:01 am

i don't know what an RIB is. rowboat? yes, it was. and yes, i pushed off the dock, got caught somehow, flipped it over, slipped underneath and we both sunk (temporarily)

10:01 am

I think she's been overcome

10:01 am

looooool. yes, rigid inflatable boat. *generally* unsinkable

10:01 am

no, it was a heavy old thing, not rapidly inflating .. although my ego was rapidly deflated

10:02 am

I hope someone got photos

10:02 am

with a thankful sigh, she says, "No."

10:02 am

loool

10:02 am

oooo! more snow!

10:03 am

this was after my husband (a lightweight at the time) and i went for a row ... i sat down and the boat tipped up ... i am forever known to my father in law as, "The Admiral"

10:03 am

<-- is no lightweight

10:03 am

lesson of the day: don't get in a boat with welki!

10:04 am

It's easy to admire 'The Admiral'!

10:04 am

Bon Voyage, Titanic!

10:04 am

Okay, time for me to be off, papers to read, time to fritter. Enjoy the grid, it's very friendly. Bye for now!

10:05 am

bye, haz

10:05 am

*gone*

10:05 am

bye dear!

10:06 am

sorry to leave so rudely but somebody was stomping around upstairs and it wasn't the dogs!

10:06 am

oh that sounds familiar!

10:06 am

welki, is that a martini glass I see before me?

10:07 am

yes it is :)

10:07 am

THAT'S WHAT i HAD TO MAKE TO CALM THE STOMPING FEET

10:07 am

sorry for caps

10:07 am

for you? or the stomper?

10:08 am

both, I hope!

10:08 am

the stomper

10:08 am

I'm drinking single malt

10:08 am

i like single malt, too.

10:09 am

at least you got something:)

10:09 am

which one? I drink cragganmore

10:09 am

he drinks v dry bombay gin with a "drop" of noilly prat

10:10 am

we have auchentoshan in the cupboard, have tried several. (i'm not finicky, will drink anything)

10:10 am

lol, in the end, so will I, but some of them are a little peaty to suit me

10:10 am

I dont know how anyone could drink "neat" gin

10:11 am

mine was bombay sapphire with m&r vermouth (can't find NP here in calgary)

10:11 am

I'll look for the one you mention, but I think the choices in France are probably more limited

10:11 am

ohh, you could, ata .. bombay sapphire is a very aromatic gin (boodles is a good mild gin for non-believers)

10:12 am

my son (in the us) knows all the single malts, I'll ask him about yours and hv written down the name

10:12 am

nooo, don't look for it ruby, it's awful.

10:12 am

lol

10:12 am

I love gin in drinks, but I can't bear it neat

10:12 am

neat with evian and an olive isn't bad

10:13 am

smirnoff with evian and a tuscan pepper is better -- no ice!

10:13 am

there was one single malt i couldn't drink .. maybe it was that 'peaty' thing going on

10:13 am

I guess you can tell what we do here in the country.....

10:13 am

Help, please. I have 2 left. EM7/32 and IN9.

10:14 am

Talisker? that's horribly peaty

10:14 am

two left? omg, I feel like a dolt!! it must be the whiskey!

10:14 am

oh yes, I tasted it once, NOT!

10:14 am

in 9, someone who starts a fight

10:15 am

yes!! it was talisker! *ptui* ugh! blech!

10:15 am

yes, it must have been talisker or maybe Oban

10:15 am

looool yes ditto!

10:16 am

anything from Skye is really peaty

10:16 am

thank you zoe, great clue, I needed it!

10:16 am

yvw

10:17 am

zoe, ty

10:17 am

we've tried several single malts .. truthfully, they're a waste of money for us. i don't think we appreciate them as they are supposed to be appreciated

10:17 am

yvw gramma

10:18 am

try cragganmore with a tiny bit of evian -- it's superb! smooth, fragrant

10:18 am

nor me. give me a decent tequila any day!

10:19 am

do you know herradura?

10:19 am

hello

10:19 am

no, but if i run into her, i'll say hello :)

10:19 am

I'm ducking out for a pre-celebratory ciggie. While I'm gone, why don't you guys fill in my last word for me?

10:19 am

lergic to tequila

10:19 am

for me

10:19 am

and we'll make you a margarita

10:19 am

em7...inevitable

10:21 am

nope...em7 high in domain

10:21 am

did you know that tequila actually ages in the bottle AFTER it's distilled?

10:21 am

like the Pope

10:21 am

he ages in a bottle too?

10:22 am

lol ata

10:22 am

the pope? too funny

10:22 am

probably

10:22 am

oafs

10:22 am

whoops

10:22 am

sorry

10:22 am

actually that went with the em7 clue

10:23 am

couldn't get the em clue

10:23 am

he 6/24?

Macallen is the best Scotch. They didn't use to export it. Kept it for themselves.

10:23 am

nm, forget that

10:23 am

em7...someone who is held in high regard...like the Pope

10:23 am

I like that one, too

10:23 am

Macallen is quite good

10:23 am

I agree completely rumple it is the very best

They served it at Edinburgh Castle when we were there for the Highland Cattle convention.

10:24 am

it is Macallan ..though .. I think

10:24 am

i've had one called mcclelland .. will look for cragganmore and macallen

Very expensive

10:24 am

lol welki, if you stagger this way, I'll serve you one

10:24 am

Hey you guys did it! TY

10:25 am

Glenmorangie is lovely, and Aberlour

10:25 am

i'll row the boat over :)

10:25 am

They have a 12year blend that is good.. but it is pricey.. I have some 1978 that is mind-blowing

10:25 am

wtg gramma!!

10:25 am

so what's your boy's name, ru?

10:25 am

May I offer a clue or 2?

I got hubby a bottle for Christmas and it was $260

10:25 am

Dylan

10:25 am

i have just officially stopped looking for MacCallan Scotch.

10:26 am

yikes!

10:26 am

I would sell my hubby on e-bay for $260

I still need the in618 after the 6/24

10:26 am

please, gramma

10:26 am

(has officially put it now on my xmas request list for future suckers)

10:26 am

my husband or the scotch

10:26 am

Just IN**** tab A into tab B

10:27 am

What do you need ruby?

10:27 am

(that is going to make one very interesting AA meeting someday)

10:27 am

everything, I only have 96 words, pathetic!

10:28 am

children just departed with their two - eeriely quiet and peaceful - soon to be replaced by longing for more happy racket...

10:28 am

Well then at least pick a letter or a number

10:28 am

dylan -- and his full name?

TY gramma, got it. May go and have a little Macallan, neat.

10:28 am

saffron's no swine before its time

10:29 am

congrats on your pro status, bojazz!! (hard to resist, eh? i lasted 15 minutes after i began playing! lol)

10:29 am

nor to feel bad ruby - only have 33 so far

10:29 am

baxters is 'mygolden's no paws for concern'

10:29 am

rumple, that is a fine idea! I'll join you right after my shower.

10:29 am

yay for bojaz! he and I started at the same time I think, but I can't get a photo into the icon

down to 37, but need to check on bread rising. Needs punching

10:30 am

what do you think is a really good tequila, ruru-the-girly-werewolf?

10:30 am

punch that bread!

10:30 am

Settle down rumple. Don't go about punching things

10:30 am

herradurra is the best one I know

10:31 am

That is the best I was going to say.. my mexican friends have one that they say is the best (and they would know) I will ask them.. I haven't drunk tequilla since my college days (for good reason)

10:31 am

clue for the bottom lone H?

10:31 am

I loooove Patron platinum. but it's horribly expensive

10:31 am

I like that one too I tasted it recently.

10:31 am

i like tequila ... there should be some international babble convention :)

10:32 am

*writes down herradurra*

10:32 am

have you ever had a vampiro (or bampiro) I'm not sure. That's what the ladies in Monterrey drink

10:32 am

12 babblers walked into a bar.......

10:32 am

vampiro! noooo sounds good though!

10:32 am

HE 4/6 sounds of satisfaction

10:32 am

Patrone is great! Don't think had the platinum tho

10:32 am

ty gramma

10:33 am

very pretty drink ... i'm in!

10:33 am

yw

10:33 am

patron is gorgeous mmmm

10:33 am

I'll look for it here

10:33 am

Someone told me that there is no difference between white tequilla and gold other than coloring

10:33 am

Anything else? I'm starting to get itchy

10:33 am

Vampiro 3.5 fl. oz. of Tomato Juice 1.5 fl. oz. of Orange Juice 0.5 fl. oz. of Lime Juice 2.5 fl. oz. of Silver Tequila 1 teaspoon of Honey Half a Slice of diced Onion Slices of Red Hot Chilli 2 Dashes of Worcestershire Sauce Salt Ice

10:33 am

that sounds AWESOME

10:34 am

OMG, ata, I'm writing that down

10:34 am

coloring added that is

10:35 am

brb..

10:35 am

11:24 am

25 to go here

Hi, back, had unexpected visitor. 70 to go.

11:24 am

Go Pav.

11:25 am

105 left here

111 left for me.

11:25 am

morning sally, pav, and red

11:25 am

I can help some...

11:27 am

...however, if anyone has in6/24, that'd be helpful ;)

TY, Pini, but slogging through. More of a time problem than difficulty!

11:27 am

23 to go here

11:27 am

23 to go here

11:27 am

I know what you mean, Sally

11:27 am

hi peri :)

11:28 am

i don't know why i am doing my hair as i have no intention of stepping out into that cold lol

11:28 am

similar to en 6/24, Pini

11:28 am

just in case someone drops by, joanne?

11:28 am

do you have that one, Pini?

11:29 am

np, as...but don't have that one either

11:29 am

going to an open house later today. very windy here. bringing a black bean and corn salad. very easy

TY aslindy. Didn't have that one and wouldn't have thought of it.

11:29 am

sounds colorful, peri ;)

11:29 am

I still have to put my recipe for spinach balls in my profile

Nice peri, and easy is always nice.

11:29 am

ok, they go with a 4 letter word for something like a net

11:29 am

it is a pretty salad

11:29 am

nah pin just habit i guess

11:30 am

does that help?

11:30 am

ok bb in few must spray hair lol

11:30 am

hmmm, not yet....

Peri, they sound yummy and I wish I had them to go with my roast, sweet potatoes and homemade bread.

I really thought Mentate was an actual word.

11:31 am

miss peri...if you are going to an open house, you are taking a dish...you'd bring a dish back with you afterward..it is a directional verb...take goes away...bring comes to..now that I've substituted for Miss Jilli, we can resume the discussion....

We have home-made turkey soup and fresh rolls later.

11:31 am

ROFL

oh lordy Pav, nice job!

11:32 am

Pini... it is a word that means entangled

11:32 am

I have a bit of a roast left my mom made while she was here

11:32 am

thx as...looking

11:32 am

no wonder folks lurk! *lol*

11:32 am

aslindy...marriage is not in the grid...

Hi welki.

11:32 am

Pini, let me know if you need more clue

11:33 am

lol pav

I lurked for my first half of the grid...

now I am unlurking.

11:33 am

ok...gimme a minute

11:33 am

I should lurk...keeps my mouth from thinking too much...

11:33 am

(gotta luv pav's comment) * giggle *

11:35 am

(with absolutely no offense to jilli, of course, but it's amazing what one may learn here - the proper use of words - imagine that!)

11:35 am

pini, the 2 you are looking for go with a 4-letter word in the grid, worth 6 points

I love Jilli, she always has the cool informationin her profile and the best icon pics.

11:36 am

*thinking that my brain might explode*

Really Welki? why?

11:36 am

I think I've learned more of life from this game and chat (overall, not specifically this installment)...and I would only suggest corrections to my dearest of friends...

11:36 am

or is it may explode?

11:37 am

it may if you give it permission...

11:37 am

I felt that way this morning, welki... but took my migraine meds and feel better now.

11:38 am

except for the bronchitis I'm sure I have, anyway...

I am very pleased to be headache free for a few days now.

Lickety's Babble Clues

12:20 pm

(below the grid)

12:20 pm

it's a list that provides you with the first 2 letters, length / point value of all of the words in the grid

12:21 pm

if you right click on it, select "open in new window"

12:21 pm

why on ea5 can't I see that in9!

Till it's the old year?

1:20 pm

til the end of the first workday?

1:21 pm

until I can remember to write it instead of the old one while dating things

1:21 pm

Probably until you have to pay your first bill, BR

lol rbud

1:22 pm

Ahh.... the old "Seinfeld" debate... for how long does one wish others "happy new year"?

1:22 pm

though it was fun to write 1/1/10 on things Friday.

1:23 pm

schadenfreude: unhappy new year

1:23 pm

yesterday was palindromic: 2010-01-02

1:23 pm

1:26 pm

I can't get a 7 here to save my life!

1:26 pm

anyone have direct TV? how is it compared to cablevision?

1:26 pm

there are two endings that count for most of them, hego

1:27 pm

My daughter had it and returned to cable

1:27 pm

ty DC

1:27 pm

any reason?

1:27 pm

what country are you in Shirlock?

1:27 pm

The weather caused too many problems, Shir

1:27 pm

My sister's family prefers Dish Network

1:27 pm

brooklyn, nyc

1:28 pm

Great country that!

1:28 pm

cablevision cut food network, i'm not happy

1:28 pm

more HD channels, and costs less than Comcast does.

1:28 pm

I just want to know if they are going to replace those channels... as we are paying for them.

1:28 pm

Ooh boo!

1:28 pm

though they recently switched to Verizon FIOS. Both they and my mom are thrilled with the FIOS

1:29 pm

Time Warner is cutting Fox... doesn't Time Warner cover Manhattan and isn't Fox in Manhattan??? LOL.

1:29 pm

FIOS is good, many of my friends have it.

1:29 pm

computer froze for ten entire minutes. still not getting that en put together or tangle...?

1:29 pm

I just HATE Verizon anything, so won't switch.

1:30 pm

Fox has been playing hardball with the cable operators, several are dropping Fox for now.

1:30 pm

Jack use m4.6

1:30 pm

Jack, meant Jayk

1:31 pm

I don't actually care about Food or HGTV... I just wish I had BBC America... used to be part of the family package and then they switched it to the Silver package, which I refuse to pay for.

1:31 pm

i am SUCH a moron! Thx lynxx

1:31 pm

Love BBC America!

1:32 pm

BBCA does rock :)

1:32 pm

Yeah Hego... me, too.

1:32 pm

no Jayk, its unusual but turns up in Babble quite a bit

1:33 pm

Fox being dropped would SO not be a loss...

1:33 pm

Got to have my House fix!

1:33 pm

but no Fox, no Simpsons or Family Guy :(

1:34 pm

kc... Cablevision is not threatening to get rid of Fox... so, it does not affect me, but I would really miss Glee, Bones, House, and Fringe.

1:34 pm

i can watch all the fox shows online

1:34 pm

eh. Simpsons was old a while ago and theres always DVD for the rest! hmm Fringe would be bad. That I'd miss

1:34 pm

Food network is background while i surf

1:35 pm

hard to watch food network on my computer and surf at the same time

1:35 pm

good point there, shirlock

1:45 pm

it's diffcult to eat porkroast with your fingers & babble...

1:45 pm

*offers bojazz some chopsticks*

1:45 pm

True, red! How true. You have certainly had a run of it...

yes, I am a little concerned at how often I have been ill this year. So I am going to try to increase my vitamin D intake...

3:03 pm

why D?

I heard people who take D and E actually have lesser colds. I keep wondering how I have managed to get so many this year. I figure if I am wrong, a little extra D and E wont hurt.

3:06 pm

3:14 pm

Yay kje, our leader!

3:14 pm

life is too short not to have fun, so why not make new year's resolutions that are about fun things, instead of things you dread?

3:14 pm

Right attitude!

true pk, very true. Mine are all pretty much the regular ones. but...

I plan of keeping most of them.

3:15 pm

i want a job badly and i need a job to live more

3:15 pm

3:15 pm

east coast? yes? yippee

Will you come to the East coast of FLorida?

3:16 pm

I want to be more adventurous. We shall see...

3:16 pm

kje -- love your recipe! I am making black-eyed peas today!

Pam, we can adventure to Disney world and both of us try together not to puke.

Now, I will say Disney is nice and all but I am not entirley thrilled with the park, sorry if I just insulted some Disney Lovers.

3:17 pm

well, hadn't really thought of that far south, red... but could. I have an aunt and uncle in Orlando I could visit

Ahhhh, we could go eat somewhere really foodie, or at La Lechonera, very traditional Puerto Rican Food and cheap.

3:18 pm

tempting red, very tempting... will think about it

Ok I am going to go put meat in the oven. It is cold here and I am not loving it.

3:20 pm

bolognese sauce here red... will become lasagne soon, but taking it to a friend

3:20 pm

Where are you in TX kje? Have we already talked about this? If so, sorry that I don't remember.

3:22 pm

30 miles north of austin

3:22 pm

sending red sheppards pie

3:22 pm

no worries - I can't stand the place

Well, I could also go shopping, but, getting the pizza seems the far easier route at this point.

3:22 pm

my mother was from Denton and moved back to Texas when she retired ... to plano

3:22 pm

with cheese in the middle

3:22 pm

Pizza being one of my fave foods, I applaud the decision, red!

Ok, i know your icon is your dog, but I still think SKUNK each time I see it.

3:23 pm

My brother adds cheddar to his shepherd's pie, Joanne

3:41 pm

ooh, stid 8th grade, you're brave!' i meant guys in the generic sense as in people

3:41 pm

hey! I just got NBT!

3:41 pm

I thought that was the purpose of all guy activities. :-P

3:41 pm

yay, stiddy!

3:41 pm

wtg stid

3:42 pm

I think you'reright, hego!

3:42 pm

<-- didn't know fishing was a "guy" activity (more reason to have that sex change operation ... must inform husband of change in plan)

3:42 pm

LOL

3:42 pm

I've been fishing once. I caught a newt. *proud* LOL

3:42 pm

rofl... poor mr welki!

3:43 pm

He won't like it Welki

3:43 pm

well done atalante!! LOL is hobbit collar-free?

3:43 pm

I didnt *plan* on catching a newt ...

3:43 pm

OK, down to 40, but must go finish assembling lasagne - bbl

3:43 pm

I'm not a big fan of fishing, but I do like to eat fish

3:43 pm

yes yes she is :D

3:43 pm

later kje

3:43 pm

hobbit is psycho

3:43 pm

i'm not sure he's going to receive the news of being a homosexual well .... and so suddenly, too

3:43 pm

Wait there wasa message for Ata!

3:43 pm

that too lol

3:43 pm

i used to fish too until i caught a fish and i coud hear it cry as i was trying to get the hook out

3:43 pm

hobbit is a doll :)

3:44 pm

good for hobbit!

3:44 pm

yeah well, potatoes have eyes, too .. so watch out for those starcy tears

3:44 pm

We were to tell you that someone was at the sun inn. but who hmm.....

3:44 pm

starchy even

3:44 pm

I was taken fishing in Oregon, and was having great fun trying in vain to even get the line into the water, and then some little yellow newts appeared!

3:44 pm

Lindrickway

3:44 pm

Ata, do you know?

3:44 pm

oh! lindrick! yes, she left me a note :)

3:44 pm

no seriously - you must see the pic ata posted - funniest thing ever! loved it! pure psycho joy

3:44 pm

hey tor!

3:45 pm

Eighth grade English should be fun for you. They are young enough to be creative and old enough to be deep.

3:45 pm

Great!!

3:45 pm

<-- would love to host a fishing lodge

3:45 pm

and the newts kept eating the bait and they were so tenacious that you could lift them clean out of the water. that of course was much more fun so we played with the newts all afternoon

3:45 pm

let me put hobbit back up

3:45 pm

8th grade... deep... LOL

3:46 pm

that is what I am hoping, bugs. teacher I will be with is really clear about what she is trying to accomplish with her students, too -- I am going to learn a lot!

3:46 pm

You would be suprised I think, kje. SOme of thes kids have lived thru a lot!

3:47 pm

there. refresh for the pictorial definition of happiness!

3:47 pm

sorry I can't spell... No English class for me

3:47 pm

newts are fun. as long as they don't actually get caught on the hook. I liked fishing more for being out on the water than anything. but the good food fish went away, and I hated dogfish and bullheads (the first are small useless sharks and the latter are small useless critters with poison spines) all the flounder seemed to go away.

3:47 pm

I love dogfish

3:48 pm

LOL what a grin! she's beautiful, Atalante

3:48 pm

she is a very obviously happy dog, and that just makes me grin

3:48 pm

where, stid?

3:49 pm

happy dog, ata! ;^)

3:49 pm

Southern Puget Sound, welki -- used to get flounder a lot when I was little (40 years ago), when we moved back the flounder were gone, and we stopped fishing.

3:49 pm

hey everyone

3:49 pm

3:51 pm

welk i love to fish but hate to touch them

3:51 pm

Evening ladies ;)

3:51 pm

maybe, but not in front of my parents' place. they just aren't there. and I wouldn't eat bottom fish anymore anyway, too much pollution from failing septics now

3:51 pm

Hi everyone :)

3:51 pm

I know, doresn! I am recovering from retail hades.

3:51 pm

thanks ata.. altho i saw them, that one isn't my pic

3:52 pm

Hi, nancy

3:52 pm

3:52 pm

3:52 pm

3:52 pm

Wow, doresn. Shocked. ;)

3:52 pm

hi pam! doren! ata! nancyboy!

3:52 pm

hi nb , hego, and others

3:52 pm

if joanne doesn't like to touch fish, i'd bet she wouldn't even want to look at a geoduck :)

3:52 pm

define behaving, Stid...*sweet smile*

3:52 pm

think they might be getting tired of them... they all certainly own far more than they need at this point

3:53 pm

welk what is that?

3:53 pm

I am actually ill today Nancy Boy, but should be better by tomorrow. I have decided that I am going to stop eating all land animals....

3:53 pm

don't try to "cute" your way out of this one, kiddo! Hangover? at your age?

3:53 pm

books are like that at times, dor! Especially cookbooks!

3:53 pm

a geoduck? ohhh, it's a clam with a face only a mother could love

3:53 pm

sorry you're not well stid... feel better

3:53 pm

oh Stid, really? now is there a loophole in that which allows birds that fly?

3:53 pm

I am quite determined to eat a geosuck this year

3:53 pm

Good idea, stid. After all, there are a LOT of land animals.

3:53 pm

yikes

3:53 pm

geoduck!

3:53 pm

geoducka are the biggest oysters ever

3:54 pm

Yes, feel better, stid

3:54 pm

i know pam. next year they will get them again tho.. particularly my mother who gave me one and i really didn't want/need

3:54 pm

hi, babbler!

3:54 pm

most of them is outside the shell

3:54 pm

hi babrab. how are you?

3:54 pm

Well, good nite all. Seeyou tomorrow. Good nite!

3:54 pm

LOL, dor! and ciao, hego!

3:54 pm

yes, I can still tolerate small amounts of chicken, but apparently pork is now joining other land critters as toxic to me

3:54 pm

hey BR

3:54 pm

I'm 19, Stid :) Drinking age here is 18! As is smoking age, everything age!

3:54 pm

stid had probably seen her share of geoducks .. they're plentiful in puget

3:54 pm

sweet dreams hego

3:55 pm

Hello, folks

3:55 pm

firewords :)

3:55 pm

3:56 pm

thanks! and hello, nb, babble mymuse and babble

3:57 pm

ata started this geoduck thing ... ata, where'd you go?

3:57 pm

hi welki ... geoduck sounds like a cartoon character

3:57 pm

sorry Stid...I'm a bit of a hedonist in my free time...and sadly addicted to the horrible nicotine. When I was 16, it was legal to smoke at that age, but when I was 17 they moved the legal age up to 18...I almost went mad!

3:57 pm

i would hate to look this thing up

3:57 pm

"almost" Nancy Boy? *innocent mama look*

3:57 pm

here!

3:57 pm

ata WOULD start a geoduck thing.. very ata ish

3:57 pm

some of them are pretty intense looking .. almost x-rated LMAO

3:58 pm

oh dear. is that good or bad??!

3:58 pm

ewwww

3:58 pm

And you tell ME to behave, Stid! ;)

3:58 pm

they look like big wrinkly penises. in a shell

3:58 pm

oh certainly not bad, dear, just you

3:58 pm

ohh well i may have a peep

3:58 pm

LOL ((Nancy Boy)) you just take care of yourself, kiddo!

3:58 pm

3:59 pm

ok, let's get back to nudibranches :)

3:59 pm

3:59 pm

3:59 pm

nudis are lovely

3:59 pm

those are randy little mollusks!

3:59 pm

lol nb

3:59 pm

LOL Nancy Boy! at least it's not "tits" this time!

4:00 pm

clams never have been thought of as beautiful (except, perhaps, by other clams)

4:00 pm

yes they are .. i love looking at photographs of them, remember seeing them in national geo. when i was a kid

4:00 pm

LOL

4:00 pm

I'm starting to feel very naked sitting here in my towel right now

4:00 pm

*gasp* ANOTHER mental image I could do without! *holds out bathrobe* PLEASE don't babble nekkid!

4:33 pm

it can be both

4:33 pm

both

4:33 pm

oh really? that's confusing

4:33 pm

Everything should be a word for thank you in england...we say it so much

4:34 pm

inthe states they just grunt...(I can say I am from there)

4:34 pm

so am I...a little bit!

4:35 pm

cheers also means .."hip hip hoorah!

4:35 pm

it's also something you say when clinking drinks together before downing them. At speed, generally.

4:35 pm

but that's who we (united statesians) use it

4:36 pm

well what can I say, I'm from everywhere :)

4:36 pm

4:41 pm

Hi guys and a belated Happy New Year! Has anyone clued the in,9 yet?

4:41 pm

have you been drinking pini?

4:41 pm

hi babbz

4:41 pm

in9 = start a fight (or INve******* a crime)

Hi Pini and Hi Babbz, I hope you had a happy new Year.

4:42 pm

Hi babbz

4:42 pm

hi oodle and babbz...nope, haven't been drinking...just a big threshhold to cross entering the grid :)

4:42 pm

hiya red!

4:42 pm

thanks and hi to you all!

ahhh dog is once again asking me to go out, loudly....

4:44 pm

Has anyone seen any good movies this Holiday Season? We're going to catch a movie and there are so many good ones out that I'm not sure which one to hit first.

4:44 pm

you're welcome ;)

4:45 pm

I saw "Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakquel" with my gdau...it was very cute :)

4:45 pm

hi teulu!

4:45 pm

I wanna see "Avatar"...the reviews of the lay persons have been really good

4:45 pm

Think I'll wait till my grandbaby comes in town for that one! I did see Avatar in 3-D, and loved it

4:46 pm

Lay persons?

4:46 pm

OMG I'm so out of it!

4:46 pm

people other than the overpriced movie reviewers

4:46 pm

it's meant to be quite a spectacle, if not a very inspiring storyline

4:47 pm

I have to check that one out. Did anyone see the Blind Side?

4:47 pm

Not yet...another one I'd like to see...the storyline is very intriguing

4:47 pm

I thought you meant the Lay Persons was a movie, LOL Pinikula!!

4:47 pm

it didn't interest me

4:48 pm

* giggle * No babbz...

4:48 pm

I like "feel good" movies, oodle, thus the draw

4:48 pm

Avatar was amazing - the commercials look stupid, but the movie itself was fabulous

4:49 pm

The reviewers hated Titanic, too - but I enjoyed that one as well. I think they just don't like James Cameron very much, as he spends so much $$ on making movies.

4:50 pm

That's why I don't particular care to see/hear reviews of the movie critics; I prefer the lay-persons review

4:50 pm

I liked Titanic, too ;)

4:50 pm

I agree

4:50 pm

as I do .. .I don't like suspense movies and even if there is some suspense is some movies I don,t like it...... Give me sound of music, mary poppins, harry potter, lion king type movies any day

4:51 pm

harry potter had plenty of suspense! but i know what you mean, oodle

4:51 pm

i just like to escape

4:51 pm

well I guess that's right babbz my bad

4:51 pm

the LIon King is the only movie I've ever cried at in the cinema

4:51 pm

I still haven't been able to get my head around ol' Harry Potter (either in text or video)

4:52 pm

really? I love it p;ini

yo uknow, Pini, I thought I would dilike Harry, but I rather became addicted to it, like the rest of the world.

4:52 pm

I have to finish the last book

4:52 pm

My wife watches movies on DVD while I play Babble. Or vice-versa.

4:52 pm

I enjoyed the books while reading them, however I couldn't tell you what happened in one book vs another - they all me** together

I am still shocked, that people, have not read the whole series (Oodle you!)

4:53 pm

I've never really wrapped my head arond the Tolkein triology, either...

the movies just are not as good, I never really saw the last one.

Pini!!!! the book so fmy Childhood, TOlkien.

4:53 pm

I mean, I like the original animated Hobbit, but after that...well...

4:53 pm

sorry, red!!!

and I hated that first Hobbitt movie becase the characters didn't look like the people in my head.

4:54 pm

I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The hobbits are ADORABLE.

Pini, my Dad read them to me, and I think that made it more interesting.

the mordern Films were much more to my liking.

4:55 pm

I have to say that Babble sure cuts into my reading time and that is sad. I'm trying to plod my way through "A Beautiful Mind" but I think all the references to the math is probably way over my head

4:55 pm

that's possible, red...hi NB, I can watch about 3 minutes of LOTR before I lose all interest

pini, that amazes me. those movies were so well done and on the big screen, wow!

4:56 pm

it's tolkien's birthday today. round the world people are raising a glass to him at 9pm local times

I did not know that Ata. Thanks.

4:57 pm

well you do have the art representative of the Tolkien Society here to tell you these things ;)

4:57 pm

I wish I could say exactly what it is about them, but I can't pinpoint it...

:D Ata.

agate

try again Joansie...

4:58 pm

hi joansie ;)

4:59 pm

I just watched a movie on the computer that was directed by Peter Jackson (of the LOTR fame) called The Lovely Bones. He does create a pretty good fantasy world in this one, too.

4:59 pm

Is there some significance to 9:00 pm?

4:59 pm

Or is that just a good time for a glass of wi4?

4:59 pm

I LOVE the book The Lovely Bones, was the film good?

wht is being careful not to enter the PB!

4:59 pm

Surprisingly better than I thought it would be - and I loved the book, too.

the book was a good book, Nancy.

5:00 pm

wasn't it so touching? Made me cry a bit!

5:00 pm

red, because if I do, you have so many goodies I would spoil my dinner.

true wht, I have already had dinner.

5:01 pm

it was a lovely book

5:01 pm

If you caught the movie "Atonement" a while back, the girl (the one who lied) was the protagonist in "Bones" - she's a fabulous actress. It was sad, but more suspense than sadness. Stanley Tucci plays the bad guy - and he was great, too.

Ok, this is not good, we have a freeze warning on, an actual hard freeze warning for Florida. bad for fruit. and for me.

5:02 pm

Nope...once more though, I read the book!

5:02 pm

well, shoot, red...maybe move up here...we're supposed to be 50-53F this week (night lows in the 40's)

5:02 pm

my daughter lives in miami and she's been whining about the 58 degrees down there - it's like minus 10 or something here in Chicago

5:03 pm

where are you in Florida, RED?

5:04 pm

We've had about 9 inchis of snow here over the past 2 days.

I live right in the middle of the Citrus area, 22 miles from Disney. I try not to complain, but it is very bad for the fruit guys.

5:04 pm

i had to buy a heater when I was in florida for the ONLY two weeks it was cold

5:04 pm

Slow and steady and twice a day you have to go out and shovel some more.

5:04 pm

I bet it is, Red.

5:04 pm

apts were required by law to supply heat

5:05 pm

I want SNOW!!!

5:05 pm

have ours!

5:05 pm

wht - are you watching the Buffalo football game? They are getting clobbered by snow.\

5:05 pm

may I, pretty please!!!

5:05 pm

in the north west pini???? GOOD LUCK

5:05 pm

No babz. I gave up after the Pat's blew another one.

5:06 pm

pini, I took my turn

5:06 pm

can anyone help with the first en 6?

5:06 pm

thx oodle

5:06 pm

gotcha. good luck with the shoveling.

5:06 pm

same as the first in6

5:06 pm

I hope we are done for now.

5:07 pm

don't have that one either :/

5:08 pm

in + screens are made of **** (type of netting)

5:08 pm

in + me4,6

5:08 pm

oodle...your turn :)

5:08 pm

Kari, on Thanksgiving you have m***ed potatoes and gravy (change the vowel to the second one and then add your prefixes)

5:09 pm

gotchya. thnx!

Oh gosh I lost internet connection! Pini, It snowed once in COrvallis while I was out there. Once.

5:10 pm

what year was that, red??? * giggle *

1994? maybe.

5:11 pm

* ahem * red...that was a few YEARS ago!!!

5:11 pm

I'll admit it's snowed since then, but nothing this winter yet!

Yes indeed it was a long long time ago. I didn't live there long though....

the oddest thing was that the temp was over 100 in June when I arrived. People kept saying that was odd, I thought they were lying until the next summer....

5:13 pm

100F in June is rather odd; we normally get there sometime in Aug/Sep

can I have a clue for the Fa 8 I know it isnt about body noises!

5:15 pm

fa8 = waaaaaaay over there

5:16 pm

pinikula - the good thing is you can just bee-line for the mountains and get your snow or your cooler weather, right?

5:17 pm

good point, babbz...but it's still about an 1-1.5 hour drive to do so...

TY pini!

5:17 pm

...then again, the ocean is the other way in about the same amount of time ;)

5:17 pm

yvw red ;)

5:17 pm

I see. Still, I would love to live in that part of the country. Are you far from Bend, Oregon?

5:18 pm

are you in portland or pini?

5:18 pm

or vancouver wa

5:18 pm

Bend is in that 1-1.5 hr time range due east of me

5:18 pm

2 hrs south of, oodle

5:18 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

5:18 pm

hi min :)

5:18 pm

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

5:18 pm

5:19 pm

* nodding to oodle *

5:19 pm

hey there min

5:19 pm

I love the Pacific Northwest! :)

5:19 pm

I'm gonna be in Astoria sooon

5:19 pm

Out of all the places I've been to or travelled...it's the best in the US

You do have some of the best Hiking areas!

5:19 pm

yes portland was a very good place to live except for down down crime... had my car broken into

But I am a confirmed Florida Girl, who knew.

5:20 pm

I hear you - my best friend lived in Bend when there was only one stop light in the entire town

5:20 pm

down town

5:20 pm

it's comparable to my favorite place in Europe (Bavaria)

5:20 pm

No, I am not done. I gave up on the grid at 502 with 76 words left. I just came in to post a paragraph clue

5:20 pm

oh, how fun, min! Those are so fun to read! :)

Post away Minver!

Good evening. 44 left, but I will do my usual pattern of abandoning it when I get to 20 or 10 or so--it's a theoretical completion, as opposed to an actual.

5:21 pm

you gave up the grid at 502??? what do you mean

5:22 pm

here to help if you need it, kappy!

5:02 am or pm

Kaplan, that would make me so nuts to get that close.

So maybe that's my problem

5:24 pm

let's git'r dun!! :)

ar7?

5:24 pm

what do you need?

5:24 pm

amen to that

5:24 pm

5:46 pm

and by hard freeze i assume you mean below 31

5:46 pm

(*igh *chool)

5:46 pm

5:46 pm

thanx

5:47 pm

6:04 pm

thanks pini -- it's either food poisoning or a new allergy. *sigh* or something like norovirus, but no one else I know is sick.

Yes Hawkins, but your homes are built for that, you expect it...

6:04 pm

should I wear a mask on the plane?

6:04 pm

yep. discussions of body parts and all! Nancy Boy was quite amused... rfl

Hi Hawkins! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

6:04 pm

6:06 pm

Hawkins,when I saw that you were from Minnesota,I thought you might be one of my relatives. But I have no relatives who are Special Education teachers. My last name happens to be Hawkins too.

6:06 pm

6:08 pm

red, I don't suppose you have unlimited hot water? when I was in college (and the landlord only turned the heat on twice a day) I used to take long baths, with my books and tea on a chair next to the tub. It kept me warm and felt deliciously decadent, too.

O nice Science

7:37 pm

Pini -- I just went to your profile and I noticed that in your section on Lickety's clues there are lots of weird objects. This is because (I think) it was composed in Word, with curly quotation marks and apostrophes, and

7:37 pm

oooh, welki. i bet those were really pretty!

Hi OSGMA

7:37 pm

oh no...thx for checking jilli!! I'll fix it now!

Wht. I don't have my drivers licence. The last time I tried to drive the car I broke it

7:37 pm

Well happy dancing for getting the car fixed, then.

7:37 pm

and long dashes (sorry about the break). To rectify this, it's best to use Word Pad, which uses plain ones.

It is as himself was mightly unhappy about the situation

7:38 pm

gotcha!

7:38 pm

hi OSGD -- I missed your story -- will check back

7:39 pm

Herin, I understand.

Jill. The car had a flat battery. Nothing major. We think a little light was on for 2 weeks

7:39 pm

Oh yes, that'll do it!

7:39 pm

Oh, those little lights will do that.

8:02 pm

8:02 pm

i've known people who really shouldn't be allowed near a kitchen let alone IN one, but that's mostly due to them not liking to cook, just liking to eat

8:05 pm

9:39 pm

I can't believe I could be so stupid to miss that!!!! I have been looking on and off for hours!

9:43 pm

'night, min

9:43 pm

Good nite Min.

9:43 pm

nightnight, Min. sweet dreams

9:43 pm

I don't try to hide all the time, I just find myself enjoying the chat so much I forget to look for words sometimes. Then when I can't find them I feel so dumb!

9:44 pm

Just tell people I am the one in the corner, under the blanket

9:44 pm

*trips over lumpy blanket* oooffff

9:44 pm

been there, done that, bugs...but wouldn't worry about it too much at this point! :)

9:44 pm

yOU HAD A BEAUTIFUL BOY PIC UP EARLIER DIDN'T YOU pINI?

9:44 pm

sorry about the caps lock. . .

9:44 pm

* catches lbd before hitting the ground *

9:45 pm

bugs ... this morning, ata and haz were talking about a place in the u.k. called Menai St6.. someone asked what it was and they were told to 'google it,'

9:45 pm

getting a second blanket

9:45 pm

I didd, bugs...he's my grandson ;)

9:45 pm

thanks for the save, Pini. Bugs! get out of that corner!

9:46 pm

i went and did a search on it and couldn't find a thing. probably because i did a search for Menai St6 and not the spelled out word (which is in the grid, which is why they typed St6 ... i felt like a moron!)

9:46 pm

so welki, do you suggest I google it too?

9:46 pm

i've got to work on the pics in my camera. Got several great shots of the grands.

9:46 pm

* giggle *

9:46 pm

lol welki!

9:46 pm

they both had a good laugh, as did i :)

9:47 pm

LOL I only just got it now too!! PErhaps the thin air in Canada is affecting us!

9:47 pm

lb .. i learned something yesterday. if you accidentally hit, 'small format' and then click 'STOP" when you realize your error, it's too late

9:47 pm

time for me to head for the pillows. see you all tomorrow!

9:47 pm

g'night lbd! :)

9:48 pm

so are you stuck with a lot of thumbnail shots, welki?

9:48 pm

sweet dreams LBD thanks again for the tea advice (it's working)

9:48 pm

Today I accidently hit the button that cancelled my desktop icon for Firefox. I can't figure out how to get it back. . .

9:48 pm

hello all.

9:48 pm

oh gee welki! *sad face for loss of data on pics*

9:48 pm

Stid!! hello again

9:49 pm

hi stid :)

9:49 pm

hope you feel better in the morning, Stid.

9:49 pm

*poof*

9:49 pm

Bugs, go into firefox and check the help section, there might be something on that. It happens a lot I am sure!

9:50 pm

Oh stid. What is the matter today?

9:50 pm

pini, how was the office? had it totally gone into entropy in your absence?

9:50 pm

on a pc? on the menu, 'all programs,' find the icon for firefox and either click 'send to desktop' (where it will create a shortcut) or just drag it to your desktop

9:50 pm

I ate something that majorly disagreed with me Bugs -- a more and more common occurrence.

9:50 pm

(stid .. nothing lost, i downloaded (thankfully) before my error)

9:50 pm

went today...and what I ended up doing was something she could have done on her own...

9:50 pm

welki! you're BRILLIANT!

9:51 pm

Thanks welki! I will try it now.

9:51 pm

as for the rest of the "work"...it will start up again tomorrow...I'm sure it will be a "but I need it now" type-o-day

9:51 pm

of course, pini! but it's always reassuring to know you are "needed" right?

9:51 pm

good for you welki

9:51 pm

not really ... compulsive about backing up files

9:51 pm

not while on vacation, stid!!!

9:51 pm

hi gang

9:51 pm

oh well...

9:51 pm

*faint* PING!!!!!!

9:51 pm

g'night folks

9:51 pm

compulsivitiy has its positive points....

9:52 pm

HAPPY NEW YEAR PING!!!

9:52 pm

sweet dreams welki. see you again soon.

9:52 pm

Sorry about your stomach upset stid. Incidently, I read more of your blog and I am an INFP too, only all the time.

9:52 pm

...and her comment to my working during my vacation..."well, I've been working everyday over the break"

9:52 pm

my madness starts up on Tuesday, or tomorrow if I am well enough to read.

9:52 pm

thanks, stid!!

9:52 pm

same to you!

9:52 pm

(too bad she doesn't realize I don't get paid what she does)

9:52 pm

hi ping!

9:52 pm

:-D how are the kiddos? did they have a lovely holiday?

9:52 pm

marcia is also infp, stid

9:53 pm

hi pinky!

9:53 pm

thanks Bugs! I never know if that stuff is interesting to anyone or not!

9:53 pm

* grin *

9:53 pm

it's an interesting way to be, INFP...

9:53 pm

what is INFP?

9:54 pm

it's a personality profile thingy. We had a fun time with it here on Babble a couple years ago, the stats are up at babanon.

9:54 pm

yes, stid, they got to play in snow finally - we were in northern virginia

9:54 pm

basically I am an introverted people-person... *sigh*

9:54 pm

what fun! and did it ever snow! was it hard to get home?

9:55 pm

no - easy travels, luckily

9:55 pm

22 inches

9:55 pm

Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving?

9:55 pm

IT's here... http://babblersanonymous.yuku.com/topi c/366

9:55 pm

oops. link is http://babblersanonymous.yuku.com/topi c/366

9:56 pm

yep. that's it, pini

9:56 pm

hey, i'm an infp

9:56 pm

it's meyers-briggs, pinky = did someone say that already?

9:56 pm

gah. maybe I am tired again!

9:56 pm

hi origami

9:56 pm

perhaps I shall have to update the data!

9:56 pm

came back for the last 61 ...

9:56 pm

hi ping

9:57 pm

hi ori ;)

9:57 pm

i'm an ENTP

9:57 pm

Hi again...I'm an INTP

9:58 pm

Oh, did I kill the chat?

9:59 pm

hey jellen!

9:59 pm

* taking tests now *

9:59 pm

how were the shrimps

9:59 pm

Better, stid?

9:59 pm

I suspect pini is ISTJ

9:59 pm

Yummy, but difficult to peel...

10:00 pm

a little better, thanks -- LBD suggested ginger tea so tom made some. I have kept it down, too!

10:00 pm

Good!

10:00 pm

I am fascinated by the number of people who know what they are! (and by how few INFPs play Babble

10:01 pm

Herbal tea sounds good...perhaps next break I'll make some...

10:01 pm

dang, stid...hit the mark on that one (ISTJ)

10:02 pm

LOL pini! *proudly adjusts mentalist hat*

10:02 pm

don't you love it when you guess right and amaze your friends? roflmao

10:03 pm

how'd you know???

10:03 pm

I'll go ahead and update the stats tomorrow... will be interesting to see how it looks with all the new INFPs

10:04 pm

actually pini, it was partly a guess, and partly familiarity with how that tool expresses itself in real life. It's been a long time though since I really thought about it.

10:04 pm

we took the official myers-briggs for a class I had as an undergrad, and I did a lot of research and reading up on it after that.

10:05 pm

it's definitely interesting! :)

10:05 pm

Just read the whole thing on Babblers. INFP people are represented fairly well here. I would have thought more would have been Es

10:06 pm

I think Es are more interested in real-life games, bugs? I think the semi-anonymous nature of this game appeals to those of us who are Is

10:07 pm

That makes sense stid! I hate to use my real name but my thots and opinions are always truthful.

10:08 pm

and here I was thinking I was strengthening my E side by joining in the chog! ;)

10:09 pm

Hi all just popped in to see if clues were needed.I'm an INFJ by the way

10:09 pm

Actually, Bugs -- I started babbling when I was recovering from some major panic attacks and agoraphobic/social anxiety problems. As a result of this game, I actually met some babblers in person, started to volunteer in the kids' school... and now here I am in grad school!

10:09 pm

hey pugmama!

10:09 pm

hi stidders

10:09 pm

Hi pugmama.

10:10 pm

hi bug

10:10 pm

so I guess your theory isn't entirely wrong!

10:10 pm

Stid. I am SO proud of you !! How wonderful to hear more of your fascinating story!

10:10 pm

bug, meet pug; pug, bug. UGH! *grin*

10:11 pm

LOL that's me, the cowardly lion.

10:11 pm

brb

10:11 pm

hi bug hi pug

10:11 pm

when I took that personality test the results said mine is "the rarest of all personality types" which explains why I'm such a mutant I suppose!

10:11 pm

:)

10:13 pm

well it seems nobody is needing clues so I guess Ill go Boggle some.

10:13 pm

(((pugmama))) thanks for coming by, though! I was lovely to see you!

10:13 pm

happy babbling all ! Poof!

10:14 pm

I think I may go play a game of cribbage...(will keep chog open to clue if needed)

10:14 pm

bye pug and pinky

10:14 pm

or "it" was lovely to see her... *sigh* being tired again.

10:14 pm

not really leaving...opening another window! :)

10:15 pm

well, you're always lovely, stid! :)

10:15 pm

ping, I did an AWESOME "twitlit" lesson for my friend's 6th grade class a couple weeks ago!

10:15 pm

Would you like me to send you the rather sketchy lesson plan?

10:16 pm

I must head off too to get ready for school tomorrow. Feel better soon stid. Have fun everyone else! poofing

10:16 pm

night bugs! :)

10:16 pm

((thanks bugs)) have a great week!

10:16 pm

was it based on twitter, stid?

10:16 pm

i'd love to see it!!!!

10:16 pm

yes, it was.

10:17 pm

okay, I will do that tomorrow.

10:17 pm

or now, if I can remember where I put those PDFs

10:18 pm

can't wait! (just an expression ;)

10:18 pm

stid, do you have more vacation left?

10:22 pm

okay, it's on its way... was easier to find than I anticipated.

10:22 pm

* she must be searching for the PDFs *

10:22 pm

* maybe not *

10:22 pm

technically this was the last day, but I don't have any classes tomorrow ping. It was a lovely break for my brain!

10:22 pm

how about you? jumping in both feet tomorrow?

10:23 pm

sent it to your gmail, ping, btw.

10:23 pm

in that case, stid, you can jump right in tomorrow for me!!!

10:23 pm

i'm jumping in although technically we're closed until tuesday

10:23 pm

(taking koda out - brb)

10:23 pm

i've got a lot

10:23 pm

pinky i met another dog named koda this week

10:24 pm

LOL pini! I can jump right in... do you mind if I bring my barf bag along just in case?

10:24 pm

thanks so much, stid!

10:25 pm

GOOD NIGHT

10:25 pm

you bet ping. I keep intending to post it on my blog, but so far... LOL I have been deliciously lazy

10:25 pm

sweet dreams garamma

10:25 pm

10:26 pm

I think everyone left has either finished or isn't to clue st5 yet! unusual for a grid this size

10:28 pm

i've only got one st5 so far and it's an easy one

10:28 pm

I'm back...out of my poker tourney...:-(

10:29 pm

hi jellen

10:29 pm

jellen, poker???

10:29 pm

Oh yes, stid...I'm a regular poker player...

10:29 pm

wow. a multi-talented "player" LOL

10:30 pm

i think fran plays poker too, right?

10:30 pm

Finished Babble first today, though...

10:30 pm

Think so, Ping...

10:31 pm

Started off this year losing, though...

10:31 pm

10:31 pm

ouch, not auspicious, jellen!

10:31 pm

10:31 pm

I haven't seen her in a long time.

10:31 pm

I haven't seen her here in ages...

10:31 pm

i don't think so, stid

10:32 pm

i play other games with her on facebook sometimes though

10:32 pm

oh well, people come and go, don't they? I suspect as her kids are getting older she (like me) has less and less time for such nonsense.

10:32 pm

brb, need to give my dog her aspirin, steroids, and anxiety meds...

10:32 pm

garg, 2 left and i can't find them!

10:32 pm
