UN 6
Is this an easy grid? hallo! having a great first week back to work, and finished another cheesecake baking task for a baby shower coming up...
which Un is it?
oh, I have the un8, maybe I'm close
hi pav -- not easy for me, but what else is new?
hi pav this will give you a little work out
comes before the un8 gremlin
i just found the Un 9 and i didnt even think it would be a word!
what kind of cheesecake?
can't remember back to Sun whether I shared that my mom said she had a relaxing time here in Phoenix...
that's nice, pav
they are little cheesecake "bites" - a la mini mini cupcakes or muffins...of the white choc raspberry variety with a black/raspberry puree for topping and whipped cream tinted pink and baby blue
today both our computer lines went out..it was like living in the dark ages
yikes west!
I have 80 found including the 9 i am out poof
plus husband had to go into the office to finish a project..he wasn't too happy
oh, pav! *drool*
good night ML see you tomorrow
well done, mlf, and goodnight!
pav3, is baker your profession or your relaxation?
ooh pav how do I get an invitation?
sounds like the perfect dessert
baking is a hobby, since I couldnt actually make a profit when it was a side business...I like giving product away I guess...it used to be relaxation, but then when stuff didn't turn out as I wanted and people got too picky I stopped...
imagine!
picky people
it sounds like you got the short end on a few fronts, but I am sure that people love the goodies.
got the un9
Didn't enable ever hear of the Gashlycrumb Tinies? Tinies is so a word.
Got the 9
I have that book jilli it's a kick
sounds reasonable to me jilli
I got stuck for the longest time because I didn't notice there was a second U!
I decided long ago my daily life goal was to bring a smile to someone's face - anyone - anyhow...cheesecakes were an outlet for that goal and yes some took advantage of my goodwill...but at the time, I let them...now , not so much...
I love gory Gorey
I missed that too, gremlinn!
good for you pav
phantom fanzines
my cousin Bill is a microbiologist and he makes cheese cakes too
omg, that is one of my goals too. i volunteer at the ronald mcdonald house once a month. there was a little girl there who was bald. i came up behind her and told her that we were sisters, pulled off my wig and showed her how. her mom later told me that that was the first time she had smiled in a few days. made my day
that was such a nice thing to do joey
change bottom left from R to B for "debonairs"
oh, that was so good of you, joey!
ah joey, good for you, bet it made her mom's day too
her smile brightened a lot of peoples' dats
days
Hello everyone. Nice work Joey!
hi lynxxx
hi lyn
hello lyn
nier
thanks. i am out for a while. going to iron suduko. have a good night everyone
sorry
g'night joey
bye Joey
bye joey!
take care joey hurry back
so my extended gift to my bestest friends is teaching their 15 yr old son how to cook and bake...for Christmas it was his favorite trifle and a pot roast...in two weeks it'll be an angel food cake and green chili cheese enchiladas
so nice of you pav everything sounds so good
where do you live, pav? I'm moving to your neighbourhood pronto!
nice gift Pav, does he want a career in food?
I know he likes to eat!! and he's not astute when it comes to numbers, so this will help...a career, perhaps, we'll see...but it also unburdens mom and dad from all the food chores...and they live 35 miles away from me...I'm in sunny (!!) Phoenix and they're in the burbs...
she cuts my hair for free, and he used to do my taxes...
what method do you use for the pot roast..oven, stove top or crock pot?
nice to share your talent
my first was in the oven and now I use a crock pot...sharing when there's nothing else to give is an option most people don't do...it used to be bartering
you know I think that will be coming back it's a good idea
for my pot roast a use a chuck roast, potatoes, carrots, celery and Lipton Onion soup mix...a just a bit of water...
sounds delicious
I have 2 I make occasionally..sauerbraten and yankee potroast with cranberries
I was teaching my nieces and nephews how to cook but I've run out of them (that still care to learn)...the eldest niece used her baking skills to earn money for her high school trips across the country and to Bermuda/Barbados
oh west, I haven't made sauerbraten in so many years, my kids loved it
and it's a talent she'll have for the rest of her life
just need the upper centre N for NBT...
it's work but so worth it flosey
I love all that stuff but making them for one doesn't quite work
but jilli, you can freeze portions for later
use
you could freeze portions jilli or come to my house next time I make it
I try to make a large dish and freeze for the rainy days...or for lunches.dins through the week...
great when you're in a hurry
lol, west!
last 20 will have to wait for tomorrow -- good night :)
night nan
Yes, I should do that. Always seem to be in a hurry though.
night nan!
night nan!
anyone have ta6?
do the cooking on the weekends...
I was given a cookbook when I was 7 and let loose in the kitchen funny story one recipe called for 8 cups of water and I raided the cupboard and found 8 cups
who knew? lol
dane and danes are here again and they never work
late bye nan take care
nm, got it, fireworks!
wtg gremlin
yay grem !!
weekends are busy, pav, with bridge and library stuff sometimes
YAY gremlinn!!!
please share the stats for the lone n
west, my aunt gave me a huge cookbook for my 16th b'day - my uncle thought what does a 16 year old girl want with a cookbook - I loved it
that's the N I'm looking for West...
ni7,32?
thanks grem
oh great...I have to think about it...ni7...
I love to read cookbooks flosey
me too west
other than my Bibles, the only books I have are cookbooks...
yay I got it !!
that was often my bedtime reading
it's a compound word pav
and the reason it's on that lone N is you can't start it with the N to the left of it
nbt
I no longer cook, but subscribe to cooking magazines, buy cookbooks and watch cooking shows. If ever I find my kitchen, I'm gonna have a ball.
I just put it in didn't think it would work
lol Christine
I have loads of interesting cookbooks but never seem to use them. My fave is Madame Benoit's Microwave Cooking.
Christine, you sound like Maxine
I could never find my kitchen table so now we don't have one
wtg west -- I'm nowhere near.
I still have 6 bts
my kitchen is 7x8 galley ..no room but for one person
But eating is good, and so is watching the PBS shows, so I can tell my DD what to do.
ah, just got the pa7 and 8
I have 5 bts
gj flosey!
I have nothing bigger than a 6
I have 23 words ...can't decide if should give in and move on or still hunt for the ni7...
tine
nes

would you like a clue?
well stay yes, but move on and find other words...I lvoe clues, sometimes I even understand them!
think rip van winkle
clue away, west!
or maybe bowling?
have that one west, there's another ni7, do you have it?
tyvm west
other ni7 means silly people
(I think it does, anyway)
ni7/28: scatterbrained people
didn't have it but do now thanks grem
actually, stupid people
hi all
hi swm
lol, thanks swmbo and gremlin
it's not a word I actually call people very often
tyvm too swmbo!

yay NBT! it was the bowling that I understood
wtg pav
wtg pav!!

wtg pav :)
i must say i am not doing too well with the u words...
neither am I and dart got them in a flash
just missing 1 u word

true jilli !!
gj flosey are they mostly un words?
he wouldn't be "darting " if he had difficulties
the 8 and 9 u words might be tough
all but one
I see udon all over the grocery stores
I do have one silly un8 word
change last letter jilli
got the 9 just now
yes, it is silly
silly? hmmm
I was really close on the un9 early on, but I used the wrong letter for the last vowel
gj pav I still need that one
ty flosey -- wonder what it means -- *looking*
from the top or the bottom u?
refers to circular ball movement
then I totally forgot about that U for a long time and tried on the wrong one
ty pav thinking...
if you un9, clothes won't be dry
banging head against wall now lol
*confused*
what do balls and wet clothes have in common?
compound West
u9, below + what a top do4
2 different clues, no connection there

re7/32: what an ice cream cone becomes on a hot summer day
jilli I don't have any re words but I have that one
my son was 7 lbs 10 oz (only child)
jillie, more loose, like melted chocolate
your nose is ru7 with a cold than in the summer without a cold
oops, that was the wrong one
tyvm -- NBT :)
just going to say that pav lol
yay Miss Jilli!
rose thinks chocolate and we think mucus pav lol
Hey, see my message? I dudnit type that! I entered a definition . . . so, what gives. Bluddy grmlins in the computer.
and grem thinks ice cream, slurp
I am not in your computer.
jilli, my first was 9lb ( 3 weeks early ), my second 10lb 12oz ( 3 weeks early ), and my last, my little premmy of 5 weeks, was 8lb 15oz
or my puree is a bit ru7 than what I preferred, so it's chillin and I may add more corn starch to thicken it...
Christine can't see your message here
what time was it posted?
Yes this is baby number 1. I am a tad super excited for her
he westy, depends which hemisphere you live in...
holy mackerel, granny, those were BIG!
rose, now those were big ones
wow granny, you had big babies! My biggest son now was my smallest baby
duh, you think? every time i think about it, i'm so glad i had 37 week pregnancies
Rose my friend and his brothers were between 10 to 14 pounds
wow herin, ouch
herin when are you going to see her?
OMGosh, Gremlin, as soon as I entered that, I thought of you. I think I must've hit a hidden key, and it deleted my message. But that should've given me the little window, when you enter with nothing in the chatbox.
West no Idea. She was only born this morning. So she should be home tonight.
my mther was the same. her last, twins, were delivered, per vag, at 3 weeks early, one 5lb 3oz, the other 6lb 2oz
touch wood
ok, I must get to bed, 70 to get tomorrow, if I'm lucky
I liked when they let you stay for 4 or 5 days only vacation I ever got away from the other kids
goodnight all
nite flosey, sleep well, hun
Night Flosey
well, at least I'm over halfway, and half asleep too.

good night flosey happy dreams
Westford - posted at 1:43
yes, they come home next day now don't they!
West if all is good you can go home fairly quickly
oh I see it now..enter a message id?
boy, 61 years ago we were kept in bed (not allowed up) for 2 weeks!
Jill that does sound like a bit of a vacation
* sigh * that today's woman should be so lucky, jilli
it was horrible
my mother said the same thing when I was born
I agree jilli, would have been agony
Wierd, huh ... I don't care what Gremlin says, I'm suspicious of her.
having to call for a bedpan and wait half an hour etc
mine were all born in the 60s, was down to a few days by then
and we did get up right away too
it's so much better to do that
jilli, it isn't a bed of roses when they kick you out to cope with a babe who can't/won't feed properly, to home with 2 other kids already in residence
things were changing then but my obstetrician was old-fashioned.
true granny, you really need extra help then
no, I'm sure it isn't, granny.
military hospitals were the best..friend of mine had a C-section after 23 hours of labor and they had her up making her own bed
ouch, west!
that's what they did to me, a 5 week premmy, not feeding, 2 other kids at home, post-caesarian...i nearly wet around the twist.
no pampering there
that's why women have the babies rose
* went * although wet works as well
My friend thinks that the hospital she was at was the best thing ever and it is a public hospital
it's bedtime for me ...we'll try to get back to add more words tomorrow..or rather later today..! ciao!
night pav!
nite pav, sleep well, mate
good night pav happy dreams
goodnight Pav, and, as I said earlier!!! goodnight for real this time
give those poopies a big hug
oh sure, flosey!
flosey, thought you were in bed...
wait just two minutes, see if she's lurking
NIght Pav
lol Christine
lol, what before we start talking about her?
I am in bed brought my laptop up with me
I think a laptop would change my life
I'm in/on the bed almost all day, so my laptop shares the space.
Back soon
cat is sleeping on my legs so can't move
Back soon
brb
later herin

Well, I might as well go to bed -- 85 left and I may have a bit of time tomorrow for a change.
nitre, jilli, sleep well, hun
Goodnight all! *poof*
good night jilli sleep well

Back. Rose - have you tried the game DC recommended?
http://funny-farm.appspot.com/game/lin x
Enter associated words. Days of mindless fun! for another - change linx to food at the end
oh, okay, lyn
howdy all! Late, late flip for me!
hi Volley!
hugs lyn!
lynxxx, guess I'm not understanding the funny farm thing...I enter a word, but nothing happens...am i missing something? It starts with the word "white" do I need to use the letters in that word?
Lots of combo's won't get taken, to get you off to a start - try paper and collar
hey dee
hi granny!! how are you feeling?
thanks, that worked.....now i'm off to the funny farm
enjoy tceicher
much the same....:(, but all the better for being here in babble land
so true; big hugs to you! At first glance, this isn't looking like a friendly grid. I thought I was over my crud, but started having drainage this morning, tenacious bugger.
honestly don't know what I would do some times without babble and my buds
crud Volley? what is happening to you
oh yuck, dee. * sending heaps of get better soon wishes *
oh I had a bad cold / sinus infection / virus that started around the 2nd week of December... it has just been a "hanger on-er"
Then hubby got it, and I think tried to give it back to me
could be lots worse, so I am only mildly complaining :)
as happened to me, except himself was successful, and i got it!!!
lol
complain away, sinus isn't nice I hear
told my hubby he couldn't kiss me till he was better..
lucky lyn.
Indiana is notorious for sinus / allergen issues... have over 100 lakes in our county..lots of flora..
aawww,dee. i do so miss himself's kisses...was the hardest 2 weeks of my life
You 2 are as cute - sound like 16 year olds
totally agree
I am about 16 in my head LOL... just not my body
I hate all these vowels
here, too, wish i had a 16year old body, and the wisdo of m years
oooooh so true! Amen to that!
lord, my typing is down the gurgler...
lol
could it be the 4 bourbons do you think?
ooh, should have done that with honey
I always think tudor should be a word
plus the 1/2 inch nails, which i keep trying to remember to cut?
definitely not helpful
lol, dee
brb, himself is doing that shark act AGAIN!! "what's for tea, dear?" as if i know!!! i was the one who went to work today.
BBL
cya soon (deserters :( ) lol
later lyn
only for a little bit. dee
k, cool
good morning everybody
hi ruby
hi volleymomdee
good to see you
nbt
thank you, maybe today I'll figure out the icon
dors
took me a long time, and then I don't ever change mine
whoops! pb for me
I want to put the real ruby, my beloved chow chow. she's much prettier
wonderful choice
what can't you figure out, ruby?
I find the photo in my images but can't seem to move it
pini tried to help me, but I was useless at following her directions; I'm too old a dog to learn new tricks
move it? you just need to click on it and press upload
of course you're not
ok, I'll try again
you have the pic you want to upload on your computer?
yes, in "mes images"
jpg format
are you using firefox? or IE?
ie
ok, you see "my account" just above here ^^
yes
right click on it and see if you can choose "open in new tab"
Morning Ata and ruby
FM!!
hi fm
hello dear :)
Hi Volley
couldn't find open in new tab, but got the photo and hit upload and nothing happened
morning mitch or fm, for short
in that case, email DrGod and ask him
HAve some amazing icicles forming on the guttering.
ata is trying to help me upload ruby as my icon!
who is that?
sometimes people's photos get stuck somehow
here, too fm... look a bit dangerous
fm, you and I have the same weather, more or less
Dr_God is the guy who invented babble and has made us all addictcs.
orrrrr we can sneak round the back. if you email the pic to me, I'll put it on my webspace and give you a link to just copy and paste in :) that pretty much always works
how do I find him?
little linky down the bottom of the page :)
back ( and front ) have just grated my finger AND the carrot for the salad. oh, well. fresh protein, i guess
or ask jili; she has a program somewhere that sizes pics; may be that pic is too large
yipes granny... a walking accident
I just looked at your profile, but didn't see an address
hey ruby and fm
nothing wrong with a bit of extra protein granny :)
and atalante!!!!
hi granny rose
at bottom of this page ruby... "got any comments or questions?"
ouch!
how are we babbling today?
oh poo i deleted it LOL - marquistadesign@gmail.com
have made it to nbt and 54 left, but coming to a halt...
gooo, dee!
Haven't started yet but then again haven't done a grid in ages now. but still love to pop in for a chat from time to time.
I sent a message to Dr God, hopefully by tomorrow, I'll have the photo in place!
you slacker!
where are you stuck, hun?
have lots of u's left
he's in the US, so don't expect an answer immediately :)
morning peeps :)
great address, ata!!!
Am contemplating wether it is worth trying to get down the hill to the shops or just veg out in the warm for another day.
hey pinny
hi granny
Morning Pinny
stay in the warm
hi fmitch
2 s's I have no clue where to look, so will have to locate them with the list..
read about the blizzards, mitch. are they effecting you?
we got 6 inches of snow here today
dee, do you have the se9?
not yet ty looking
grrrr men! seriously, how hard is it to understand what can be recycled and what can't?
sorry, that was un9
yes granny - had 10 inches earlier this week and am snowed in and going a bit crazy not being able to get out
oooh ty don't have that one un 9
we, too, had a lot of snow, but they cleared our little road and an angel friend cleared our steps and driveway which was very lucky
but at least no power cuts today unlike some and at least we are not having the -22 they are experiencing in Scotland.
ata, have the same problem here. himself will NOT remove the bottle caps before putting in the recycling.
wow
it's cold here but I don't mind, just wear many layers, look like the michelin man
lol ruby
lol,ruby
grrrr husband couldnt' see that putting a huge file with acetate covers and spiral bindings in wasn't acceptable. "They'll just take the binding out, won't they?"
ty for un 9 granny
husband is a twit but we know that anyway *grin*
yw, dee, glad you found it
mine has a trick, puts how ashes into the trash! two fires so far
hot ashes

Good morning/evening all.
Is that rubys dog?
hello haz
no, my friend in Sunningdale's dog, but at least it's a chow :D
Hey Haz!!!! Good morning :)
smells like dinner is ready, so i'll say goodnight. see you all at the flip.
hi haz! hi la spaghettina!
hi all
I have friends in sunningdale, too, funny
the test was negative
Hello! Still a tad on the cold side, isn't it?
Bye rose
someone help ruby get her icon, please
you say -5C is cold? hahahah
bye grannyrose
as if we havent been!
I'm sorry for all the whining, br!!
Oh wow ardilla
No whining, just that I have been no help
are you OK?
* poof *
Will I, as a computer illiterate, try to explain what I do and see if that helps? Give me five minutes to write down the step by step process. The rest of you adopt the lotus position and say OMMMMM to aid the thinking process.
i'm proud of myself for not crying when i saw my friend off at the airport today
ommmmmmmmmm
OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
lol haz
well done girl and hugs :)
yes, i'm good...a positive test would have horrid
Excellent, thinking going beautifully. Keep the Ommmming going.
ooommmmmmmm
meanwhile, could some me lead me gently to the un 8?
a peeple
be strong and you know you have your babble buddies here if you need us.
ardilla, what part of japan?
oooommmmmmmm
more accurately, a non peeple
this is such a lovely friendly place
she and her hubby met with the boyfriend today...she said hthat he asked her if she was going to kill him; she said that was between me and him, and he looks very remorseful when he finally lifted his head to look her in the eyes
okinawa
tyvm FM *hugs
It is the most frendly chat room I have found on the net ruby. HAve been here for about 4 years (I think) and have made some very good friends as a result of babble.
when I workd, I went to Japan a couple of times for biz and it was wonderful! The best food in the world!!!!
totally agree fm... great support and love here, both for the game and real life
i hit 4 years of babbling on the 26th :)
I think this OMM thing is getting a bit overemotional
3 wks here for me and I love it. I've been playing scrabble, mostly blitz and have made some friends there, but there are a few very competitive creeps who spoil it
and the chat in blitz is very short
unfortunately, I am very poor at this compared to scrab
it takes time to improve ruby, and some grids will be easier than others for you
i love fa7/40
Babble has it's own learning curve ruby.
trying to figure out how to hang curtains (best friend made them so i can sleep during the day) with american hooks and japanese hook-holders?
my ranking goes up one point at a time
ni 7/32
i forgot to check my ranking
I've given up on rankings and have fallen off the whos hot list.
sorry, i meant to say i forgot HOW to check my ranking
just got the un8 clue thx
lol fm, I'm still too competitive, holdover from blitz
I couldn't give a stuff about my ranking. It comes of being brilliant
i found an ni7/28, not 32
yeah, the first word i found on my own was a 6
Ata of couse - being the grandaugther of such a renowned person :)
ni 7/32 think bowling... compound word ... letter + what you hit with the ball
still not finding the elusive un 8.... still looking...
Is Haz still writing the manual of how to upload a pic?
duh fish slap got it!
thank you thank you for the ni!!!!!
well yes, but I prefer to just be brilliant in my own right ;)
yw
who at all the pi4/5?
ate*
I feell a moment of smugness coming on from the Kent area!
Ruby, here's my attempt to explain the step by step process to change your icon. You might want to make sure that you have the picture chosen. Also, write this down, so that you have the steps before you redirect yourself away from chat. Step 1 is to press the button labelled 'My Account. That brings up the Babble Player Profile, go to the left side, labelled Profile info. Under the little square for the icon, press 'Edit. This will bring up another screen, which gives you two options. Choose option 2 and press browse. This brings up a smaller screen ' Choose file to upload' At the bit that says 'look in' Find the file where your photo is stored (perhaps under My pictures). When you see the photo you want, click on it. This should bring a blue square around it and will place the file name in the file name box. Then press Open. The next step is to press Upload. This will bring up a red banner saying 'Buddy icon successfully uploaded. Now press refresh. This should return you to babble chat, hopefully with icon intact.
Some of you stopped Omming!
ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
excellent instructions haz... !!!!
But not ardilla. She knows her duty!
continual smugness even :D
thank you haz, I'll try it again now
Now, can we all ommmmmm together or hold hands or something while ruby tries one more time?
ty ruby for ni 7/28 didn't have that yet...
holding hands and singing cumbyya
I'll put the kettle on as we all know that tea solves all problems.
are there any pi5/16's in the room?
no panini. sadness.
I tried again, hoping it works
nope
DrG will sort it out for you
Oh dear.
you might want to close everything, re-open and try one last time... no idea why, but sometimes that does work
you did well Haz 10 out of 10 for trying.
ditto that fm
Thank you, and everybody's omming was very good.
we tried diligently to do our part
Let's blame ruby's computer. Is it French, ruby?
maybe the photo is too big
can we stop omming now please, I am getting a dry throat.
Do you think I wasn't ommming hard enough ?
I'll try shutting down, see you later. fm, have a hot toddy, I will with lunch
Yes, stand down from the omming, and anybody who adopted the lotus position can now unwind.
it might be; I know jili says that can be too big; she has a web address to shrink photos that might work
I'l try again if it wil help
Karys! How nice to see you!
Ah yes we can blame Karys!
awwww. poor Hobbit looks all woebegone
Hel lo everyone
bye ruby...gl
How nice to see you and smiley cat again!
As you can see, puter playing sillies sometimes, I apologise in advance, please just try to work out what should be there !
What have you been up to?
hi everyone
Hello, Brookie.
Excuse me FM, I really can't take on your mantle of blame.
hi haz
aha I see we 'ave ze frrrench bunny in ze grid
Hi Brookie
Darn, well it was worth a try Karys
Just the usual thing Haz, nothing spectacular here
We're skilled at knowing what people are saying, Karys, it comes of long years interpreting FM's contributions.
hi fm
yes, stop trying to shift blame, FM!
oh great - it has started snowing again.
This is true of course
We have glorious sunshine at the moment, stil lying snow though.
snowing here too
fmitch - where are you?
I hope you all appreciate that I bear the burdens of all babblers and carry the blame for everything *grin*
Husband had to get winter tyres fitted yesterday, first time ever.
West Sussex Pinny - just moved here a month ago and it has been most interesting to say the least!
ok, just shut down, made sure the photo was small, sent it to ata and now we'll see
west sussex... is that past brighton (forgive my ignorance)?
I have been wondering how you are al l getting on in this weather
Oh, Ata's the granddaughter of a genius, so she'll work it out, ruby.
our snow tires sit in the garage, husband refuses to have them put on, he says there only for driving in the mountains!
We don't have the depth of snow that you've had in England, Karys, but it's proving difficult to negotiate country roads etc. I don't remember such a sustained icy spell.
uumm Brighton is sw of me
france is past brighton :P
ruby, husband is a country vet, so he has to do a lot of driving on untreated country roads and laneways. He got tired of having to either abandon the car and walk to the farms or having to be towed out.
or is that s.e of me, yes it is.
We have got to that point now Haz, main roads arn't too bad but side roads and lanes are dreadful
Apparently, the tyres do make a difference.
a little bit past lol
lol I am now arguing with myself in a chat room
big animal vet, haz? our vet comes to the house because one of the chows is autistic and he can't go off the property
true sign of madness
sorry - my fault - this is what happens when i think 'i'll just have a quick look at babble before i get up'
That's what happens when you get snowed in, FM! You pick fights with yourself.
an autistic chow. goodness me!
LOL!!!
What caused the move FM or is that not good to ask here ?
Yes, ruby, he specialises in large animal, especially dairy cattle, but works in a mixed general practice so occasionally does some evening small animal surgeries.
do meat cattle get different vets?
Death of partner and financial requirements Karys. But it was the best thing I hadve ever done, am now mortgage and debt free and happy.
Witness protection programme, Karys. Poor FM, she's had to up sticks. It's a wonder she's still able to use her babble name here. But tell no-one.
LOL nice try HAz :)
I give him prozac (learned from Temple Grandin book on autism) and it helps him a lot. He was totally weird and shy before, couldn't make eye contact, but now acts almost normal except afraid of his food bowl
No, meat cattle get the same vets.
We could make up all sorts of reasons for FM's move, couldn't we?
Good Heavens FM, I am sorry to hear about your loss, but I am a great believer in good coming from disaster.
oh yes :D
Haz and Ata you will still make up lots of lovely stories
I hope you get the photo, ata
Us? Make up things? When have you ever known us to do that?
should do! my email is soooo slow at the moment
and if we are lucky enough Haz and Ata and I will be meeting up soon. I have met Ata many times now and Haz once so we are looking forward to the 3 of us getting together.
3 babblers walked into a bar.....
That sounds like a recipe for.................. ermm, words fail me just now !
Will we need to wear pink carnations?
and I sent it via my french server, not yahoo, which makes matters worse
no panini?
Lots of intellectual conversation, isn't that what you were trying to say, Karys?
FM is very very lucky
cannot believe I missed do 5/14 as in Dunkin' or cripy cream
looks like i can't use the curtains she made me :(
3 babblers walk into a bar and the first one says CRWTH
and YWIS!
and lweis
That wasn't quite what I was looking for Haz
And FM holds up her stuffed tenrec.
looks like welsh to me.....
ROFL
umm...krispy kreme do5s
they don't have them here
or here :(
no great loss ards
and I love their cake do5s too
i guess i have to buy more japanese curtains
Maybe earnest debate on world economic issues combined with a discussion on the merits and demerits of foreign policy?
mmmmm krispy kreme
beignets are not the same!
me too dee
xsurely one couldn't have a stuffed tenrec, aren't they a protected species?
There, that sounds about right !
Excellent!
no, but i hear that they are delicious
over-rated... way too sweet, sickly so
Okay, perhaps not a stuffed tenrec, maybe a tenrec toy.
sorry that was supposed a mmmm not an ummm
Tenrec with truffles mmmmmm
Hi kje
Maybe you mean ommmmmmmmm, ardilla?
hi
there was a krispy kreme in virginia when i was stationed at langley
never had a beignet
maybe dr. God will help while I'm making lunch. see you later. wish I had a krispy kreme (or a dunkin....)
sending one to rubyfoo......
there's a dunkin here though
fedex
Bye ruby. One way or another we WILL get you an icon, should we have to paste a picture of a chow onto the screen.
brb
having a flavored coffee... french vanilla, that would be yummy with a Dunkin
at least I put a chow in my icon for her!
It might get tiresome moving the little sticker all the time, that's the only thing.
I tried via google, that is cute, ata
You're very good, Ata, major brownie points for that.
she's called bella and she's gooorgeous
that chow looks a lot like Ruby, but none of my chows (5 over the years) could swim!
they are like huge cats
back later, hopefuly
Bells *loves* water! Any excuse to jump in the lake
bye
too cute!
Toodle-oo, Karys and ruby.
max drinks from the fishpond, that's the closest he gets
I must be off too - TTFN.
bye everyones!
Bye, FM, keep warm!
this is a very odd grid
definitely
its too easy and then...
agree lyn
bye FM karys hi lynxxx
all the letters seem to be in the wrong places, if that makes any sense!
hi Ardilla
it does, ata
The technique of finding word squares is pretty useless today.
and I hate un words with a passion
Although underwear is always useful.
apart from the flower - love god - owie one
I didn't want to mention the love god while FM was still around.
and fish eggs, ata
fireworks
There is that one, it's true.
woohoo volley!!!
and the dolphin, ori s it a goose, always forget
woot vmd
Congratulations, volley!
may I help anyone before I poof?
ty
Hooray for Volley!!
yay volley! yes, fishy eggs too. mmm
just meant in her little square
And metal thingies.
yes
okay dokey all.... see ya at the flip; hugs to all; stay safe & warm!!! *poofing with hugs*
In my square of wonderment, that it.
That is, it should be.
Bye Volley!
oh yes! hadn't seen the metal thingies
bye Volley
you know you've been playing babble too much when naiad is your phantom
Just don't tell any non-babblers 'Hello, today, naiad is my phantom' or you'll find yourself getting funny looks.
mine is penis. lol.
phantom penis - very freudian of you ata
and Purina. guess what dog food Hobbit gets!
Could it be Purina? I'm going out on a limb..
gosh haz, you amaze me sometimes
I know. Some say I should make money out of my psychic abilities but I like to think of it as a gift to the world.
actually, my first phantom of the morning was planarian. just to be a bit more scientific
phantom: putz
you too could be on TV talking to michael jackson
LIke what's his name?
derek
I think it was derek acorah anyway
Not Nimmo, he's dead.
john edward
phantom: seniti
I think I'd rather talk to Derek NImmo than Michael Jackson.
do you get the choice? don't spirits just come and talk to you? you might end up with michael winner (when he's dead anyway)
I don't know - Michael Winner was on Celebrity Mastermind, don't know if he won.
ick I hope not
Did you see the Horizon programme on the bond between dogs and owners - on BBC2 on Wednesday?
no, I meant to watch it but I was worried that the particular clever dog might upstage Hobbit
LOL ata
That particularly clever dog was AMAZING. A border collie, and German to boot.
I'll have to watch it on iplayer
border collie, there you go. very clever creatures
You would enjoy it, lots of shots of dogs although very few spaniels, strangely enough.
outrageous!
morning all
perhaps they thought spaniels had had enough coverage with the police dogs programme
My sister had a border collie... very smart dogs.
It could fetch toys just by being given the name. Toy zebra, fish, etc. Over 350 names remembered. It could also fetch toys from another room based on a picture!
Or, if it was shown a small version of a ball, on command it could go to another room to bring back the large version.
She used to "herd" my daughter when she was a baby and a toddler... incredibly cute!
best friend's 1/2 collie does that - not 350 of them though! He has rope toy and drill toy and vampire toy and bottle and and and
unbelievable
It did all this while riding a unicycle and spinning plates.
lol
and reciting shakespeare?
LOL Haz... it's early yet and I almost believed you for a minute.
No, it was German, vast tracts of Goethe.
goodness! even more impressive
There was a dog once that I saw on TV that could bark "To be or not to be"...
It was years ago, but I always remember it.
I love the dog on UTube that barks "I love you"
We had a dog on TV that could say 'Sausages' - less impressive than your one, mom2.
but more valuable to the dog, i bet haz
I think so, kje.
Yes kje... far more valuable to the dog... that particular skill.
down to 58 and hit a wall
My cat meows hello... swear to God.
the sausages dog was soooo famous
I don't know why sausage advertisers didn't snap it up.
I believe you mom2
There is a brand of dog treat here called "Snausages"... surprised they never used that dog.
my sisters cat likes to stare at the computer screen... doesn't like the screensaver though so has learned to touch the mousepad to bring the usual screen back... weird cat
Cats are all kinds of smart.
Scooby Snacks are Hobbit's favourite treats :)
They're still not as smart as this border collie.
I am happy mine does not have an opposable thumb...he could get into all kinds of mischief.
Sometimes my cat just comes and sits in front of me and does this blinking thing... swear he is trying to communicate something.
Probably not Haz
this is the same cat that will only sleep on his back with all 4 paws in the air... I'll stick to my weird assessment
My cat also fetches.
Funny kje.
He's probably thinking 'If only I had opposable thumbs, I could be so useful to you.'
LOL Haz... I would teach him to do laundry.
Being a male cat he probably doesn't want to learn to knit, but give him power tools.....
I have a few pictures that need hanging..
Perhaps a prosthetic thumb?
There you go. He's a cat, he'll be able to climb.
And he would probably follow directions better than the humans in my household.
The possibilities are endless... lightbulb changing springs to mind.
scorched fur also comes to mind for that one
Absolutely, although knowing the correct wattage would be a requirement that might tax the cat a bit.
LOL...
Well, Haz, clearly he would have to be supervised.
See, any job that has to be supervised, I always end up thinking that I might as well do it myself. I'm a poor delegator.
Of course on another note he still thinks his reflection in the mirror is another cat... so, his brilliance has limitations.
just thinking that
i think I'll just let Sily stick to sitting around and looking pretty
The funniest thing is when I hear my husband trying to reason with him... it is hysterical.
that's OK, scrab thought her reflection was another shopper... and she is still useful
funny.
I don't think the border collie would ever make that mirror mistake. He's used to the mirror for perfecting his tap-dancing technique.
that was hilarious. poor scrabs!
Of course the poor man tries to reason with our teenager also... God Bless him.
I don't know this story about Scrabs.
When did Scrabbler not know herself?
I know ata - another shopper that looked amazingly like her, isn't that what she said - LOL
the brain is funny sometimes
That's funny...
And, of course, this lookalike also chose the same outfit to wear to the store that day??? LMAO.
yes lol
she was shopping, turned a corner where there was an unexpected mirror, and just for a sec was shocked to see someone who looked so much like herself
that's great.
I would probably have apologized to the reflection for running into her, LOL.
My shock with mirrors is when I'm trying things on and the shop insists on giving you a back view mirror. That should be banned as being cruel.
so.... your cat is in good company on that one
Yes he is!
OMG Haz... I swear I never try anything on at the store... I bring it home and then return it if I don't like it.
It's so much better doing it that way, mom, I agree. At least at home you can fool yourself a bit better.
going back to sleep - catch you all on another morning when I wake up too early
Actually, just the opposite, sometimes I feel like the stores have "trick" mirrors, or some kind of flattering lighting, LOL... at home what you see is what you get... better assessment, I think.
Bye kje.
Bye, kje, enjoy some more sleep.
bye kje
Of course this does not work with bathing suits, which you cannot return.... and they are the absolute worst thing in the world to shop for!
I must be shopping in the wrong places. There is one shop that is flattering in the changing room mirror department but you pay more for the clothes!
you can return them as long as you don't remove the "sanitary strip" from the crotch
You are paying for their trick mirror technology, LOL.
Exactly!
I look at it like this... I would not want to buy a "used" bathing suit, so I do not return them.
Hello Esprit.
hi there haz
time to wake the troops... be back in a bit.
See you later, mom.
OKay, time for me to be up and moving. Enjoy this rather odd grid, and I'll check in later. Bye for now!
bye haz! bye mom!
Bye!
Anybody home?
So I am alone with the lurkers? *waving to lurkers*
Lurker waving back! I'm at the neurological institute and cannot chat in a steady and sociable fashion, as eyes and things keep being delivered, but I am periodically looking at Babble...
Hi MG!!
Hello!
How is little Walter progressing?
Great! He's been back at school this whole week, and is walking really well with or without the crutches. Usually no pain at bedtime these days too. And he's cheerful, if admittedly in a normal 5-year-old defiance phase.
Two more weeks until the next cast-free x-ray to see how the knitting's getting on and decide about a new cast.
Hi scrabbs
Sorry was just doing the morning 'wake up' routine.
But it is also such a precious age! 3-6 yr olds are the best!!
Hi mom2!
Is it tough to get them conscious and out of bed, mom2?
Yes...
Though not too terrible... my 13 y ear old is better at it than my 49 year old, LOL.
I agree, although there is also a lot to be said for long scientific conversations with 7-year-olds. And anyway for Walter a defiant phase is about 2 episodes a day and not so bad by most kids' standards... Yes, I love this age.
The middle-high school bus picks up kids here at 6:55.
scrab, we discussed this morning how you and mom2's cat have something in common
that's early. how long is the ride to school.
There is something to be said for all ages/phases... both good and bad.
Haha, mom2. I am so not a morning person and sometime shit the snooze button 3-4 times. Today I woke up at 6:03 and alrm was set for 6:30, so I have extra Babble time.
OK, must be very sporadic with chat now; the neuroscientists need their lunch cards.
Hi kje, and what is that?
OK... have fun Monkey.
mom2's cat thinks she is looking at another cat when seeing a mirror ; )
hi everybody
mom2, I live in a rural area with a huge geographical area for the school district--I think it is 45 min on the bus for kids up here.
I was up prior to the alarm this AM as well Scrabbs. In a few I have to go out and assess the shoveling.. I think we got about 2" today. I don't have to work, but I will make it easier on those who need to get out of here to do so.
Hi ruby!
Yes... I went to a regional high school in a rural area and we were on the bus very early.
Haha, kje, thinking about that experience still makes me both yelp and laugh.
haz and ata were trying to help me this AM to get my icon pic up, but I finally sent a note to dre_god
that was hilar, scrab
Yes... we were talking about you earlier... in a nice way, of course.
Some icon work, some are not formatted to work
I was basically saying that my cat is very bright and yet he still insists on thinking that his reflection is another cat... I was told that he was in good company... LOL.
makes me feel dumb, like this grid does!
I have never changed my icon.
but ata put a chow chow pic on hers and it looks a lot like my ruby
I can still relive that moment, rounding the corner, thinking that I was going to crash into this woman's cart, yelping, then seeing myself....silly life moment!
don't feel dumb... just push through.
Was your first reaction to apologize to "her"... that would have been my first reaction, LOL.
I have 57 words
grids are meant to make us feel dumb... they take special delight in it... I say kick it in the shins
My first reaction was to look around and find out if anyone witnessed my behavior!
lol kje
I have 34... my goal is to finish today... have not finished a grid in a while... but I am not leaving the house today... much to do here... so I will babble on and off all day.
have never finished a grid in about 3 wks of playing every day!
Well, its a good story.
74 words today but that is close to it for me
I am sure I will have to use the list... I think I only finished one in about 3 years without the list.
And it was like 31 words, LOL.
I play tennis from 9-10:30 (EST) then the 8 ladies will have a brunch at a friend's home. She lives on 13 acres and we will snowshoe and cross-country ski all afternoon, with breaks to eat, laugh and play Scrabble.
I don't know how to use the lists, another thing I don't know.....
Sounds like an awesome day!
Then I am on call tonight through Monday morning---aaaargh!
sounds like heaven, scrab, except for the snowshoe and ski part -- too strenuous for these old bones
udon is not accepted by enable (neither is panini) - why does enable recongnize foreign currencies not even used in our vernacular, but not ethnic foods we eat all the time
I used to downhill ski because gravity helped a lot
Just go to the bottom of this page and hit the link for lickety's babble clues... what I do is open it up, copy the URL, go back to this page, then open lickety in a new window... voila!
Not so awesome Scrabbs.
I tried panini, with various double n placements too
Ours is not to question why kje... ha ha!
It is frustrating though.
even in babble, money rules the world
What is udon anyway?
My daughter and I were just talking about maybe doing some skiing in a couple of weeks. It's been a while and we both really enjoy it.
Downhill though... I was never much for the X-country.
Coffee anyone? I am going into the kitchen for a refill.
udon is a noodle
I forget where you live, mom2.
japanese noodle
used in soups mostly
We went two years ago and it was fun, but I really felt it afterwards more than I ever had before.
NJ Scrabbs
as is soba, which it doesn't like either
OK... time to do the second round of wake ups and refill my own coffee... be back in a bit.
My sister lives in Bergen County
That is where I live, Bergen County.
Where is your sister?
Montvale. Next time I visit we can meet up. In Oct I met with Doren, nrkii, Owl, and JBV.
How exciting, mom2. We can meet someday!
fun pics from that scrab - looked neat
We played SuperScrabble--me, Owl + my sister vs Doren + nrkii. We lost--nrkii is amazing with words.
yes, I have played scrabble with her - fierce
Hope someone comes to pick up this RNA labeling mix soon... it has to go in the freezer before it runs out of dry ice.
kje, ever seen cat scratch disease in femoral no5? We have been following an 8 yr old with this, presumably, as titres are pe4-ing
I am in Maywood... not close, close... but doable...
Owl has family in Hackensack.. I am right next door to them.
yes
Same county = close enough
I don't know where Doren and nrkii are.
in 7 clue please
cool.
no idea mudd
That sounds interesting for you Scrabbs... not so much for the kid I would imagine.
and that makes two of us.
Doren is near Boonton, nrkii in Lambertville
Hi Mudd--not into the big words yet
Wow... they are far... nrkii closer to Owl in Philly, LOL...
Yes, but we all met up at Doren's
i have some biguns, just not that one... did find the 9
Cool.
I've been monkeying, but can't seem to get it.
in7 - what you do on the back of a check
OMG... my kid thinks because there is an inch of snow that she is going to have a delayed opening... she is driving me crazy.. I know we are not, as I am the one who makes some of the phone calls... but she is refusing to believe me, LOL. I told her she can have her own delayed opening, but she will be marked late.
ty
that is usually spelled en
ty lawyer
spelling never was my forte
I have a lot of 7's, not much else
I get so close to one, like inferno, and then the last letter is missing. frustrating
what is the beginning of the 9?
un9
ty lawyer ... missed your clue
OMG>.. so this morning they have chosen to focus on/argue about the new toothbrushes... it's crazy here! Can't wait til they go to school/work.
bbl
down to 15 - bbl
made it to halfway, have to give my husband a haircut now
Bye kje and be careful, ruby
Someone mentioned a 9. Where is it please?
I don't know what the 9 is
un9 compound. 5 then 4
ty
What teh washine machine does when it doesn't get your clothes well enough centrifuged. Just found it.

ty lynn
was deep in the grid thanks lyn
i thought you would all like to see one of our prettier hiking/cross country trails this was shot yesterday i believe...
http://tinyurl.com/yz59k7a
That would make a lovely Xmas card
by cross country I assume you mean skiing eh cross?
indeed,this trail is also used for snowshoeing
or is it in cross(hair) country
but the x-country skiiers pound it down in a hurry
my cats nickname is ni4/5...
lol oodles
:D
OMG>.. that is gorgeous Crossy
it is isnt it;))
oh ... I will be changing this photo to a new one when winter carnival starts and take another one close up and more pics so you can see how big it is
the castle I mean... duh
sorry just got up and haven't had my cocoa
I have been to Winter Carnival in Quebec... it is very cool (in more ways than one, LOL).
that is crosshair country 2han8
Finished
Congrats Mudd!
Goodnight everyone
congrats mudd and sweet dreams lynxxxie
OK... but i also looked at your profile pics of the ice sculptures.
We'll be going to Harbin's Ice Sculptures soon. They are cool, too.
uh cool? correction fricking freezing is more like it... when I first came here I was taking pics of the winter carnival and I had to take off my gloves... uh it was -50C when I decided to go to the carnival. enough said brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I just watched a show last week on ice sculpture making...very interesting.
but non the less funny 2han8
I'm heading for bed, too, Lynxx. Thanks for the earlier help everyone.
Yes I was there many years ago and I do remember freezing my buns off.
night lynn
my fingers stopped working
but then I put my gloves back on
How was your AM crossy? Did the boy get off alright? You missed all my complaining this AM.... fights about toothbrushes, daughter convinced there would be a delayed opening of school for 1" of snow, etc... LOL!
for those who have not had the joy,at minus 40 or 50 celcius,ive had my spit freeze before it hits the ground;/
poor mom
And, to top it all off, we ran out of french vanilla soy milk! I am out of the competition for mother of the year I'm afraid.
doesn't it vaporise?
i woke my boy up late and shoved him out the door while he was still in a daze,he didnt wake up enough to complain
All of that snow and ice is beautiful to behold... but you guys can have it, LOL!
partially oodles
I should try that crossy!
hee hee heee cross
We have our fair share, but nothing like you all have.
french vanillia soy milk? ugh!
that's what a bucket of water does when it is that cold
I mix it with chocolate soy milk, add a dash of 1/2 and 1/2, pop it in the micro... that is what the girl drinks every AM.
uh when you pour it out real fast
ever see tires on cars freeze with a flat spot on the bottom and you have to drive slow till they thaw oodles?
that is too funny with your boy cross
It is actually quite tasty.
lot of work for just a glass of milk lol
I got it and when I heated it up and tasted it, it tasted like beans... but somewhat satisfied my chocolate fix
unless you have a lactose issue i suppose
not so bad, really. I don't have to squeeze the soy beans or anything...
it=chocolate soy milk
Yeah... heated up straight it is not so good... it needs to be mixed with something... so we discovered that adding the french vanilla and the 1/2 and 1/2 makes for a tasty beverage.
No lactose issues.. we just really like soy milk.
id have to be rich to stock soy milk here anyways,ive seen it at 8 dollars for 2 quarts/litres
ok kewel that is nice to know 2han8
The organic ones are expensive... the Zen Soy and Soy Silk are just a few cents over regular milk.
ahhh
And readily available here.
crosshair: I was telling someone about flat-spotting cold tires yesterday...they thought I was BS-ing them
i tried it once and could not get over the after taste..reminded me somewhat of goats milk
or I think that is in the special Crosshair country stores
lol jm,it is a real deal,ive seen it
A kid that spends a great deal of time in my house cannot have milk... allergy and lactose issues, so I started buying it for her and we discovered we liked it, too.
think it was worse w/ bias-ply (old) tires
yes,the old glass walled ones
Sounds a tad dangerous that your tires would have to "thaw" out, LOL.
i moved south to get away from that. 20 degree (F) here this morning....everyone was in panic mode
lol jm
Where are you now jmitch?
My husband was once "snowed in" in Nashville when they got 2" of snow...
indeed mom,you have to just gor real slow for 10 minutes or so,and always remember to keep the tires properly inflated to reduce the risk
you cant buy, beg, borrow or steal a space heater from any store....Pascagoula, MS mom.
go out west of me mom and most stores and malls offer plug in bars out fromt for car block heaters
that takes air out then cross? when it is freezing like that eh?
Ah... yes, unseasonably cold for you guys, then. I know it has been cold in Florida... my cousin was on facebook complaining about 40 degrees F... I reminded her where she was from... LOL.
lol,we would kill for 40 f
I know they have those plug-ins in Minnesota.
as the cold increases oodles,tore pressure drops
tire
not bad today -8c
we had rain yesterday and we expected a freeze. Absolutely no way to deal with iced roads down here. Luckily the roads cleared before it got below freezing
iguanas have been falling out of the trees it has been so cold... but they come 'back to life' when they warm back up but their hearts are still beating
mornin babblers!
positively balmy Crossy.
yes,the freezing rain can be more dangerous in many ways
hi eva
morning eva
morning eve:))
That's a little odd oodle...
lol@ raining iguanas
ooh! crossy! i saw this yesterday + you werent around, so i bookmarked it so i could send it to you... http://tinyurl.com/yjktsan
That's what happened when my husband got stuck in Nashville... 2" of snow and then it froze... no equipment for such weather there.
looking now eva...
funny eva
http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/news id_8440000/newsid_8447800/8447808.stm
When I was in Florida this summer I had several geckos land on my head... not pleasant.. I nearly had a stroke, to be honest!
lol,funny stuff
we can handle blazing heat, sweltering humidity, mosquitoe infestations, alligators and other swamp maladies....but you let the temp drop below 40 ....
i coulnt stand being in a state of constant sweat
"Bacon you can keep in the fridge. True love you cannot."
OMG oodle... funny.
indeed
sometimes i do miss have 4 seasons....but then it gets to deep winter. i don't miss that
No Crossy... I'm with you... I'd rather have the cold.
in
my brother tried san antonio tx for 2 years and had to leabe.he said there was one month it didnt fall below 100 and he had the ac going full time to keep it 85 in the house and that was it for him
leave
I was in Florida once in Novemer and it was 50 degrees F... people were wearing full winter regalia... I was peeing in my pants. Seriously, hats, scarves, mittens, parkas...
lol mom
when I was there after 3 years I started wearing coats them because I was freezing ... when your body 'gets used' to the heat then it thins out and always wondered why people wore coats... when I had to have heat then I understood... it is logical when you are used to temps tween 60 - 90 degrees then all of a sudden it get below 50 and IT IS FAREEEEAINFG
And they were looking at me like I was crazy.. just had on a sweatshirt.
my wife saw the same on a visit to largo in febuary,she and my biy were swimming and the locals were bundled up for the arctic
I guess oodle, but his just seemed extreme.
Yes... crossy... LOL!
Well, you know... you crazy Canadians!
agree w/ oodle. I've acclimated to warmth
but i do understand the aclimatization thing
your blood thins out I meant DUH
i know some friends up in labrador/NWT area and they dont even put on a sweater till it is -10 lol
Listen, I barely wear a coat unless it is about 35 F or so... so I can understand getting acclimated.
when i go up north during winter 30 (F) feels warmer than 40(F) does down here...i think it's a humidity thing
actually in texas the heat is drier and should be tolerable than the heat in florida
my brother could not stand it oodles
oh you have humididididty there in texas?
I wanted to kill myself in FL this summer.. it was so hot and humid... NJ is certainly humid, but not like FL... ugh! NOt really enjoyable.
well that was his first year there... he should have stayed a while to let his body acclimate to it
humidity in DC is horrible in the summer. *ick*
lol he is the same as me oodles,once it got over 80 f ,he would of been in a state of a total body heat rash
i guess the opposite of an iguana and if he was in a tree I'd guess he would have fallen out eh cross?
lol,that would be one big iguana lol
:D
he is enjoying costa rica though
should circumstances allow and the planets align just right,i may join him down there
crossy, I imagine life is easier in costa rica
though he says the culture is so different plus throw in that it is 90% roman catolic and you have to be carefull
other than the rainy season he says it is amazing annie
hints for the R in the top row?
there was just a piece in the NYT about how costa ricans are the happiest people in the world.
and even then you can predict the rain like clockwork
with the nice weather comes dangers, annie
crossy, No more snow..would you miss it?
i would be happy too,the cost of living is very low.my brother lives like a king on american dollars down there
actually annie i think i would for a while
in
crossy, Something to consider.
sheesh. enable doesn't know about panini
i think your son would have an easier time getting up there cross
though you must be carefull with cuts and abrasions down there.in that environment it has cause my brother grief many times till he learned to live with a new climate
yes they have the french word for basket but doesn't take the italian bread
hints for the N directly beside the Z?
what they get infected more easily?
OH yeah
Eva..comp. word..think bowling
so many more germs
eva: think bowling
very much so oodles
TY annie + jmitch
youre welcome
he almost lost his big toe due to a simple cut
gonna go grab me some breakfast, back in a flash!
Good morning, all! Oooh. We're talkin' jungle cooties, eh?
well what do the natives do for that then
gangrene sets in... off comes the leg
gm judi
hi judi
Voooo doooo.
treat it immediatly oodles,they get infected and gangrenous so fast
but with what
peroxide,iodine,clean dressings,leave no open cuts or sores
clean clean clean
ok I guess they have that down there
the humidity is just too high in areas to allow it
was thinking of hydrogen peroxide
everything must be clean,clean,clean as hurshy says
Wadja think, oodle? Moss, crushed berries and Indian chanting?
'mazing how much i know just from watching bear grylls.
well something taken from the forest... of course... there are things that we haven't even explored in the plant kingdom for medicinal purpoised
porpoises
lol@ bear grylls,there are some things i would slap his arse for with his cold climate advice
or is it dolphin
Bear Grylls rocks. Although, I don't envy him when he eats wood larvae, etc.
OMG hursh... my husband watches that show and it makes me want to scream... that one and Ghosthunters!
never trust Bear, he talks a load of crap :P
he would be a dead man in the bush up north lol
i don't envy him, ever. i envy his wife a bit. mainly i just watch to see what crazy thing he'll eat next. and i always, always answer the question, "could you survive...?" with a resounding, NO!
ive eaten things that would make a billy goat puke lol
Does anyone remember the comedian Sam Kineson? He had this routine about the Ethiopian famine... he was like, "someone is filming them... don't they have any food with them? Give them a sandwich!"... obviously the famine was not funny, but that routine was.
Well, he'd definitely be dead if he didn't always have his Gore-Tex wear, his knife and flint. I don't care how hungry I was. I would draw the line at eating skunk.
I feel the same way about that Bear guy... obviously he is never really in any mortal danger.
lol, Mom! I remember that! "Go where the food is!"
ive eaten raw porkupine;)
oh, i've always thought it odd when there are ethiopian restaurants cause there was so much famine there when i was a kid particularly - i'd be like, i thought they didn't have food there.
Yes Judi... twisted and sick... but reasonable and funny.
why? and in what circumstance, crossy?
And those Ghosthunters guys are just stupid...
Ah, the good old days. When political correctness was non-existent.
survival training 10 years ago mom,was a 2 week course
everyone is always in mortal danger. esp people like that. sure, they try to protect you and have med people ready and so forth, but look at the crocodile hunter. fluke sting ray to the heart. you just never know.
annie???
you got a knife and a book of matches and a beepr to bail out if needed and you had to do 2 weeks
It's like all these crazy shows about aliens building the pyramids, etc.. we can't explain it, so we'll just say its magic, LOL....
ok crossy!
oodle, you rang?
Where did you do this training, Crossy?
you are in the puzzle!!!
That actually sounds interesting Crossy.
we set up in algonquin park near brain lake
Yes, oodle..you are the first to see it
but they don,t accept your name as a word unfortunately
I am also a plural
Poor Annie. Fame is fleeting.
was a ton of fun actually
hursh.. the crocodile hunter just went for a swim... Australians are in mortal danger when they walk out their doors... has anyone ever read Bill Bryson... "In a Sunburnt Country"... it is absolutely hysterical... all about Australia...he says that something like 10,000 things can kill the average Aussie on an average day, LOL.
Judi, so it. alas.
thibngs you miss most are sugar and salt,as soon as i got out of the bush,i went down to mcdonalds and had 2 big macs and 3 large fries lol
I imagine it would be Crossy.
mom and so can living in NYC.
but we are too... i mean we drive all the time, for one thing
Good morning, my dears.
omg cross too funny
Maybe not so much now Annie, but certainly back in the '70s... LOL.
Hiya, Hego!
morning hego
hi hego
Hi Jersey girl
mom2, I just had to throw that in.
Honestly... his books make me LMAO... that one in particular and "A Walk in the Woods".
Hi hego!!!
Are there other Jersey girls here or was I correct in assuming you were speaking to me, hego???
just listening him describe cricket on the radio is worth the price of the book!
yes you, mom
"and the bears use the Appalachian Trail... you know, for convenience"... funny stuff!
Who are talking about , mom?
K... I thought so... just wanted to make sure I was not usurping someone else, LOL.
Bill Bryson
Hey annie is in the grid!
It would be fun to have crossy and or Oodle in there one day.
ok.. laundry time... bbl.
Bye mom
I had been one time but I don't know if it was here or at a game called serpentine
brb have to see a man about a cow
Annie, do you have snow this AM?
yes, hego about one inch..no problem
ror
hego, did you get snow?
Here also.
hi there, inge
Hey Inge!
ive had the pleasure of being in the grid once before oodles
hego i mean
Hey it's the king of bacon!
all rise,cause i cant,my arteries are backing up on me
Where's your flag?
i still have it
what do you think of this grid?
hardish
I agree Hursh.
good description, hurshy
Nothing jumps out.
the words are well hidden
If you lot think it's hard, I'm sunk.
The U's are a pain in the arse.
LOL judi
i didn't say hard, i said hardish. that's slightly better.
One degree up.
yea,its got a lot of "ish" in it;(
:-)
If you change your mind about something why can't you unplan? The grid took a sillier word today.
hego I don,t think cause it hurts when I do... Iknow you didn't ask me what I thought of the grid but... now you know
No logic to it Annie
You're opinion is always welcome Oodlie poo.
a letter g would of done wonders
yeah, A nice gerund.
going to have to talke to that guy with the inferanl cow.... he is constantly bothering me when I am playing babble
I was wondering about the cow.
i want a cow to bother me when i'm babbling! that sounds so nice and farmish
MOOOOO
*sends the cow hurshey's way*
*Throws Hershey's Syrup at Oodle so he can make choco milk*
cross did you hear what hershey did with their factory they had in manitoba(i think)
but he just gave me the cow... this is gift of the magi all over again
Or better, hot choco
yum
Does anyone know how these grids are generated?
It's magic, hego.
Or a mad genius in a tower somewhere.
by a computer. there are some algorithms about minimum number of vowels and frequency of letter appearance to correspond to english usage, obviously.
Yes I thought so, hurshy. But it's a mad, sadistic computer, I'm sure.
no, highly unlikely
A little anthropomorphic of me, I'm sure.
(i was quoting mary poppins)
Ah, yes, Mary. :-)
ar eyou there cross6
hey the a's aren't bad.
CROSSY!
I'm glad to hear that , Hurshy
hi all. tought grid today?

Ta6: alternate spelling of neckware + item you fry things in.
ta6, atitle of a book by the author of shogun about the far east
start with un5/15 to be beneath something and end with sp4

The Un8 is another silly word. Un + human being.

I was here. Did anyone see me? Leaving now / Bye
hi, i actually went to bed and missed the flip. time to meet the daytrippers!
I fellow Babblers!
hi babblers
could someone help me with the lonely N, please?
hello all, not really here, just peeking in at the grid.
(thanks inge for the pu clues if you're still here)
Hello Melon head, stid and fuquay. and inge and whomever is still here. I want to tell Ru his Pup is really nice looking.
hi red
hey red!
How are we all?
I am going to go and get a clue icon although I only have 9 words...
all good!
as if i could speak fr all of Babbledon!
I am miffed. Work stidkid up at 6:20, thinking that he needed to get the bus at 7. Apparently I missed the line in the email that he needed to leave from schjool at 6:50 this morning (meaning we should have been up at 5:30...)
Oh no Stid.
of course, he is the boy who is going to the debate tournament, I am not even driving this time.
I now have a clue for a pi 6, 21 in my icon.
otherwise, I think things are fine here today -- not overly cold or snowy.
It has warmed up here, meaning I must go swimming.
thanks red, didn't have that one!
I think my dancing oyster from yesterday had had enough wear. And you are welcome Fuquay!
tx thead
Did the stidkid make it on time to the right place?
i sha;; now icon shop
Ohhhh Melon head, pick a nice hard one. My other option was a do5 14...
nope. he is on the bus, which takes an hour to get to school red -- and was supposed to be at school ten minutes before the bus left home.
Oh so he missed the debate thing?
thing is, he wasn't even going to be up in time to get to school! I had to roust him out of bed
clue for the in7/32 please
not yet, his father is saying he will pick him up at school and drive him to the tournament. At most, he'll miss the first round.
what you do on the back of a check, rumple, but spelled wrong
rumple, I do not have it.
in7...to sign a check
back with a clue!
but it's highly inconvenient, and HE should have reminded us and gotten himself up for this. Since he doesn't drive, and since there are no buses within 15 miles of our house, he needs to be on top of things.
thanks for the in word
Thanks Phae, I thought that word was an en word, but I guessit goes both ways...
oooh. a policeman's breakfast food!
Oooh Thansk Melon! Very pretty clue!
i don't know if it means that...easiest way to clue it
ty for that one, phaeton - hi Babblers!
yw
Thanks, that takes me down to 9
thanks melon!
hey aloyisius
NBT
rumple, do you have the lone N from the second row?
Stid, I think stidkid is in for a "stressful day" all that rushnig!
oops I don't have that! NBT - 1
go rumple that takes me down to err 145.
ni4 is the lone en
I think I feel just awful for missing the line in the email the coach sent me that he needed to be ready to leave at 6:50 IN THE MORNING (my brain read it as evening). *sigh*
hi stid.. sounds like stidkid learned a lesson this morning.. but ooh, what a start to your day!
ni...daddy
TY Phaeton!
no, phae, that was helpful, but I'm still not NBT
I hate rushing. It gives me anxiety.
stidkid does this frequently, aloyisius... I had to wake him up at least three times this week just for normal days.
me too, red
what else do you need fuq?
yw red
I hate life, it gives me anxiety (really) -- it's a such a bother to try to get everyone where they are supposed to be all the time.
does he have a LOUD alarm clock, stid?
still need that lone N
Life, I do not hate, anxiety I do...
do you ni7?
he does, but doesn't use it. I think I may just remove his stereo that he says wakes him up (it has a timer) so he is forced to use the alarm. It really can't keep going like this!
ni7..bowling thingies
ty, phaeton!
tx ph!
that was it!! thanks so much, its been making me nuts
singular, nonedeless
yw
NBT - hats off to phaeton
well done phaeton!
thx
and there goes MY alarm to get up. This will be a long day...
OK, now i gotta run a million errands of the sort where I'm no more than 2 miles from home yet put 20 miles on the car. Yecch - but necessary. byee! {poof}
your right melon...it was a bowling thingy
later melon, thanks for all the clues!
clue for the pu7?
bye, melon!
something more full of word-plays is pu7
more of the kind of joke that makes you groan, phaeton
thanks fuquay, that gave me the R I needed too
lol, ty stid! didn't see that ru word
need that lone E by the S to have NBT. any help?
lots of those comparatives today
god of love, stid
I myself have to make several phone calls. I hate to talk ont he phone, I don't know why.
GAH. fish! thanks fuquay.
ALoy! did you see the crazy Saturday forcast for Snow?
down to 105. back later. gotta get myself going or I shall be late today as well.
ugh.. make it go away, red!
stid, god of love
hagd, stid..
yw. going for the list or I will never get on with my day.
later, stid
I am in and out of the kitchen today...hi again
hi Annie! what delicious dish are you cooking up?
chicken and rice..and I have some wonderful saffron
and hi Aloy
yummm! think I will make turkey pinwheels tonight
Oh Hi annie.
that sounds good, aloy
(leftover turkey)
hi red, hope you are not too cold. How are you feeling? I hope better.
The weather is much warmer, I am feeling slightly better. I have House guests coming in A week and again in February so I am doing a pile of cleaning...
How are You?
slightly better? Your cold is lasting a long time. I am doing just great.
I think I probably should have at some point gone to a Physician, but now. I am now just tired and coughing, but no fever etc.
red, I love your icon.
red, why dont you have a doctor make sure your lungs are clear? Does nurses and doctors avoid medical intervention?
I am nagging red. sorry.
I think red could use some chicken soup, Annie
aloy, better than antibiotics
yup.. and more soothing too
That's all folks. Time to get busy now. Stay warm.
yay rumple!
congrats rumple!!
you too, rumple.. and congrats!
Yaaay! I have made one horrid phone call for the day. took a whole of 4 mins.
wtg, red!
yay, red! I hate making phone calls too!
WEll Annie, My lungs are clear. We do avoid going to the doctor!
one call down! good for you, red!
HUGS fuquay, I thought I was the only one.

ty Tri
That's it I'm home and not going to work until this bl**dy snow and ice goes, I can't cope with the stress of it!!
veyr sensible!!
That's not the British way, Katie - remember the wartime slogan 'Keep calm and carry on.'
honestly i've done the last two days but I can work from home just as well without the 4 hours of stressful driving round it
(Katie is now constructing a voodoo doll named Haz)
no just glad I have a job I can do from home been worried about your vet hubby who has to go out and about to remote areas
He's got winter tyres fitted now - first time ever but he got fed up being towed out of lanes etc!
But even he's complaining about the cold, he's taken to wearing an extra layer.
oh that is a good idea, at least my 62 miles is on motorways/trunk roads so I only have to worry about sheet ice coming off lorries and not being able to see as my screen wash has been frozen for the last month
Yes, funnily enough I got more screen wash put in today by a nice man at the garage, but it's no use, it's frozen. I thought it had run out.
hi Haz! what does La Glitterata think of the snow?
I announced to my boss that they had stopped gritting the hill by me so I wasn't sure if I would be able to get in, he said he had appreciated my efforts this week and just to make sure I was safe which is nice
Hello Ata! She likes the snow when it arrives at first, all tossing it in the air and cavorting about, but is a bit bored with it now. Like the rest of us!
hi Katie
Mine reckons it goes down to -5 but it froze before Christmas and has only deiced one day since then
Hi Haz
Hi boo
I think it must be -7 or -8 here at the minute, my car says -12 but it always exaggerates by about 4 degrees.
Hello, Boo.
<- hobbit likes snow!
mine is pretty good and it showed -4 when I got home (throwing keys at hubby as I couldn't park on our drive because the considerate neighbours had made a swing in impossible

Hello Inge.
lol
i have a song for him hehe
Guten Tag, babblers. I better read the chog to know what is going on
howdy inge;)
Not much Inge
not much inge, I think we are all having a bit of issue with the grid, it isn't easy.
No one cares anymore. ;-P
Ooooh hego, cares about what?
the grid, I meant.
What with the mead and hooch and all.
i have 59 left....evenutally I will list...
there is Mead and Hooch?
go Red
Oh, you missed the mead and Hooch Red?
I must have.
so did I miss it. What is mead adn Hooch>?>
alcohol I assume. Mead is an old English Alcoholic beverage and Hooch is hooch, like bathtub gin...
Booze Inge. Alcohol
I must have been absent wehn they taught that in school. LOL
inge are you reading many mysteries lately?
Love mysteries
No, macuylar degeneration makes reading books impossible
Oh Inge, I am so sorry. I was going to recommend some.
But I used to read them one day for each one
Oh,Inge I'm sorry to hear that.
back... has anyone seen aussime lately?
My Namesake had a Machine that enlarged everything, but she said it made it a chore to read...can't curl up in bed with a machine.
No Oodle
My Dad sent me Alicia Gimez-bartlett, A Spanish writer who I found fairly good as well as Eliot Pattison.
No sign of Aussie. Hi oodle.
Yes, my hubby have me such a machine to hook up to the TV. Then everything gets enlarged. Pain in teh neck
Red I'm reading a new one called Murder in the Marais. A first novel.
inge - have you tried one of those kindle-type devices?
Have any of you read th books by William X. Kienzle?
The rosary Murders were even filmed
No Inge tell us about them
Hego I just googled it, Looks very good.
Im so picky.
It's pretty good.
You get jaded after reading them for many years.
I just google Kienzle too Inge, Very interesting. It says he started out as a Priest!
Very true Hego. For a while it seemed they were all just repeats, but lately I'e found some good new authors.
I like Elizabeth George and PD James.
Me too!
Kienzle was a priest for 25 years. His mysteries all take place in Detroit and borrow stuffuf from hsis profession
My Favorite is Georges SImenon.
I think I'll see if there are any of the Kienzle books in the library!
You know, I haven't read him for years.
I knew him personally and his wfei Javan is a friend. She showed up in my German class many years ago and a friendship blossomed
Simenon that is
He is an excellent writer, so concise.
Neat Inge!!!
huh. i don't get to see the middle of the grid today, apparently
I'll have to try kienzle
Jes, it's a special mystery day for you, apparently.
i think im going to dive into a few of james clavells giant tomes next.hehe i come out of them almost fluent in japaneese;0
my icon is a clue...
What Jes
the grid won't load all the letters, hego. i tried loading twice
Oh, my. A real challenge, then, Jes
well Jes, its a nasty grid anyway...
crossy - my late husband told me i was speaking japanese in my sleep while reading shogun
yesterday, every time I finished Iron Sudoku the grid would come back without my numbers. I shut down the computer after my third finish and wrote to Dr. God, He assured me that I got the point for completing it
reboot your computer jes
*poof*
hi Jmc. Lurking some?
I got an electronic reader for Christmas. I like it a lot. You search for books right on it and they cost less.
which one did you get hego?
I see them hego, I am unsure if I could get used to that format.
It's not hard, really and fun too.
Hego, I love your penguin. Is he a house pet??? :) :) :)
I have the Amazon one Kindle
mmm
INge, I love him too. He looks like I feel right now. cold and bewildered.
my wife has the sony prs 700 model,its not a proprietary file format so i can load books fer her right off the computer in pdf format,but the kindle has its nice points as well
this has been so far, an unpleasant winter.
Kindle can be used internationally and since I travel out of the country, I wanted that one.
i do have a site for you though hego loaded with free books..1 sec.....
I personally have never seen snow in my forecast...except this winter.
Actually a lot of Amazon paperbacks are free.
In Fl Red?
yes, crazy weather. IN Orlando. But to be honest, I think it's a lot of hooey. Though I have noted the temp is slowly creeping down...
here u go hego... http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Pag e

hello babble world, help with the fa 7 please

my mistake there is no 9 in that sequence jes
oh crossy i thought brits said bums
lol crossy, that is NOT British bottoms! You are likely to get a slap if you say that here.
britts are a funny lot..hehe i know was born there and when i watch monty python it drive the wife round th bend
lol sally..my brother had to go over to attend a family funeral and he was the first to go back since 66.well he was staying at my uncles in london and it was a hot day and he says"im going to put my shorts on and lay in the sun for a bit" well! you can imagine the looks he got
shorts,pants, trousers,have to be carefull when travelling lol
guess they thought he was going to march out into the back yard in his underwear
Not so crossy, shorts would be short trousers here. Pants, however, would be underwear, not trousers.
see/ we have to be carefull,if i ever go back all im going to ask is"where is the closest pub!"
is un 8 part of un9?
As for the fa word *blush*, shall we just say that it's part of the anatomy that women have and men don't.
I thought pants is what a dog does after running.
the un 8 is when you vanish into the witness protection program,you be come a un9
hello all
You'll be fine with that crossy.
ill be carefull if i visit sally lol
i still keep my britt passport valid though just in case;)

had a major trauma today. my two hounds got out in october and were missing for two days. plastered the neighborhood with flyers, worried for two days and spent several thousand dollars at the vet for one that was hit by a car. today i got a voicemail message with the caller saying she saw my dogs on a very busy street near where i live. rushed home only to find them safe and sound in the back yard. guess she had an old flyer and saw a couple of dogs that looked like mine. much trauma! i'm now cuddling with 150 pounds of hound and drinking some wine.
oh, poor origami!!!!

But are you a boy or girl and where do you live - click both Show profile and Update Profile on the right hand side of first page in My Account

heh heh
mario fan adubin?
Yep!
me too! i've been replaying all the original nes and snes mario games recently
Fun! I have fallen behind of late - don't have a Wii...
lynx: there isn't a choice for 'both' (gender), as this account is currently my wife and me. We live in a house
lol, glad you have a roof over your head, and in America even
you've been on for 2 weeks and haven't told me???
question: howwww badly does everyone want 'slurp' in this grid?
do5/14 please
We just started a few days ago - I bought ang the pro for New Year's... and you haven't been on YET when we have been, until tonight!
hi NB

Dearest NB - its Summer here!

nm
would someone please ask for clues for the ones I don't have yet?
fa7.40 backsides in some countries - not here though!
haha, the do 5/14 - the swedish chef makes them with a gun
lol nance we just watched that one
It's nice here even tho it's winter...
don't rub it in ... 20s today, teens overnight ... for days now
I LOVE the muppets Wildcat, more than any self-respecting nineteen-year-old male should ;)
with wind chill
I fully support you in that nancy
We saw the outside of the muppets studio in LA last week...
what is this wind chill temp?
Got to say, I definitely find it funnier now than I did when I was a kid. They do slip a lot in for the adults!
it's the temperature it feels like on your skin when the wind is blowing the cold air at you .. typically 5-15 degrees lower than the actual air temp
oh yes they do
ok - thanks
yw
clue for the lone N?
did you have a good time in Cali?
think that is the no7.32 compound
ni7.32 sorry
Yes - it was a whirlwind. We decided to leave Tues am when I found out I didn't have to work. So off we went to Disneyland! it was fun and tiring. Wore out the kids... heh heh

Why isn't 'ninnier' a word? I am ninnier than many of the ladies here.
no comment
I don't get why plapeors isn't a word...
what would it mean?
what does it mean, adubin? it sounds like a burp
Who knows? the same thing as most of the obscure words in these puzzles mean... :)
and what about panini?
panini! oh the carbs, I miss them..
in5/12 please
in & greek vessel
in + a greek vase/vase for ashes
thx giys
and I'm sure 'lapine' should be a word...the fictional language of the rabbits in Watership Down has more of a claim to being a real word than the medical mumbo-jumbo you find in the grid!

unfriend is a horrible word! Lots of connotations to that one! And why no 'pannini'? I guess Italian breads haven't made it Enable yet.

DR, hold out, and order a big boy sandwich for me...
I can vouch for that dear brother... HUGS
Ah, I had to get H1N1 myself a few weeks ago
I would go for Bob's too
One drink of rye, two drinks of gin and I'm lost in the ozone again.
even though I'm not in the age group, not pregnant, and not a public health worker

I agree with DR
silly serving sizes... Haagen Dazs wants you to believe that 1/2 cup is a serving is ice cream
1/2 cup...depends on the size of the cup you're using, nrkii
ohhhh, is that what I was doing wrong? LOL
would a 4 cup measurer work???
well just findyourself some ghirardelli. someone at work took choco dics melted them on those square grid pretzels topped with an m & m

fireworks!!!
can nearly always pass up ice cream. but cake....
woohoo NRKII
yay nrk!
food is my downfall. nibbling, tasting...
whooooo hoooooo NRKII
speaking of peppermint bark and Haagen Dazs, HD came out with a limited edition batch of peppermint bark ice cream which was incredible... unfortunately it was a very limited edition ... I only found it once
this year?
My big ice cream find was th Apple Pie Ice cream that my brother brought over for Thanksgiving
drooool
just goes to show you, nrkii, you can't eat your ice cream and have it too
yep, I bought a pint in early December... should have bought 4
i will keep an eye out for it -where did you get it?
It was good...but next time I have to make it myself.
B&J came out with a limited edition Ginger Snap ice cream, which was also quite good, but not nearly as deliciously lethal as the HD peppermint bark
sounds good Dave
ice cream social at Dave's house!
Heyas again ..
dave, my 7-year-old just saw your icon and said, "oh my god, it looks like Mickey but scarier"!
Hi Torg

hiyas, Torg

Brookie...It is Mickey from "Runaway Brain"
I can make German chocolate cookies

Min - in5.16 - are you implying something??

Thanks for that in 5/16 clue Jacula!I just got the word
Hi Everyone
I found this great video I recorded of a Magpie family. It's so cute - Worth a watch
http://tinyurl.com/yht96x8
I got a new hairdo earlier and so I'm feeling a little feisty. Won't look so good after I've slept on it (the hairdo, that is.)
Hi lickety.
Hello lickety! How are ya? Thanks for sharing the video
N's Nuked! 8 left
Lickety - those magpies are photo negative versions of ours in UK and our magpies are anything but 'sweet'.
Hi Lickety! Did you make Lickety's Babble Clues?
I did have a laugh at one of ours a week or so ago, though; trying to emulate a humming bird and hovering to eat peanuts from the bird feeder.
adubin77 - Yes I did!
Jacula - Magpies here can also get territorial around mating season
Our magpies are just thugs in white vests all year round, Lickety. They steal eggs and chicks from nests and just generally try to bully all of the other birds.
O thx, Lickety! We've been able to win with your help. Feels better than not finishing!
Only the starlings and crows are not 'fazed' by them.
...and the pigeons always continue to do their own thing. (Theirhead just bob, not think.)
lickety ... i love you :-)
Anyway, I must be off to bed soon - got shopping to do before the next predicted snowfall. I only popped in to see if anyone needed any clues.
*Covers eyes* as the lickety fan club members pour in. *If I've not seen nuffink, I can't tell MrP. nuffink.'
do you have a clue for in7 please Jac
in 7/32 is what you do to the back of a check Chrissie
Chrissie - it's what you do when you sign the back of a cheque or a document, but is normally spelled en*****.
ty Min and Jac
yw
G'night all! This was fun. Tomorrow's Sat. - more time for Babble!
As check is normally spelled cheque for us in UK, Chrissie.
howdy folks!
Goodbye adubin77! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
Jacula - your funny! hehehehhe
I'm off to zzz now. Shopping to do before the next snowfall.
Lickety - I do my best.x
goodnight Jac
hello all
Goodbye Jacula! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log.

hi all...here to START (forgot I hadn't yet!) :( I'm open to receiving 181 clues though!!! LOL
well, looks like I'm on my own for a bit...19 words so far...not too bad...
pini, I am here, but not really....I am having a terrible time with this grid, and it is taking forever
darn...I'm in the grid... *pini* ... too bad I'm not a valid word!
oh, that's NOT what I wanted to hear, trif!!!! LOL
Life is basically unfair, Pini
mind you, I am also watching a movie at the same time, so that's gumming the brain up some....
hey BR (I know...I just have to remember it)
can i get a clue for the un8? please
I did not think the grid was too bad until I started it.
Now, I do remember that perspective, BR!!!!
Un + a noun: a ******, place or thing
no clue here, sudo...I'm just starting!
thx BR!
40 words down!
thank you
I have 43 words to find so I can help...some*
need the upper center N and lower left T for NBT and the 9 for NBS :)
20 left and i will probably be resorting to shameless self-promoting begging :-)
the upper center n is a bowling item, origami
I always go for NBB = no blank blanks
no worries there, ori...I already shamelessly asked for 181 clues! LOL
hi everyone, i have 58 left, am happy to clue if i can
cute, BR! :)
hi berri
how about lower right T...a musical brief...a show t4
well, got 5 from that clue, pav...thx!
thanks, pav i got five from that clue
it's called efficiency...
you betcha, pav!
upper center N?
I'm still missing the last from the tile
May I please have a clue for pa6-21? Thanks
I think the most important thing about finding words is finding them
does anyone have the fa7
I just clued it, pini
fa7 - sit on them!
it's a fish, pav
have that one, trif :)
that's a bowling term ...not the first through eith white thingy at the end of the runway but the ni7
BR I heard it is -52 wind chill in Bismarck -- YIKES
python...that's not funny...
got the fish!!! LOL
I much prefer salmon...
but it is a fish..... tu4
smoked, of course, pav! :)
se4 me a whole salmon then
thanks gremlin
- 52 will get your attention
and then some, BR!!!
You keeping warm???
40 left for me...
Might have to wear a jacket even
anything below 70 gets my attention until i fall asleep
121 to go here!
that's 2 per minute (approx)...HELP!!!
how about the pa6/7/8's? are they related?
anything for the 9?
starts with un
the 9 is un5 + sp4
thx for the pa7/8
pa6/7/8 do seem to be related - alternate spellings/plurals
welll it is a compund word...meaning if you don't turn yourself on the bat-end when tring to get dozzy, you won't because you un9ed
dozzy -= dizzy...in my world at least
un 9 - -below what a child's top does
hmmm, compound eh? working on all 9 clues...
or a poor pitcher won't get a true curve ball if s/he un9s
bingo, got it!!
didn't have the words berri clued, but do now!
pini, can you clue the pa7 & 8?
ok sorry pinikula, hope it helped in the end
let me think of something, pyth...

thanks pav

Nixon was a great president, he just was a bit paranoid, and trusted the wrong people.
wish I could agree with you on that met.. but I don't
he was brilliant at foreign policy.. I will give you that
We can agree to disagree, no??
si se5 !
sure hope so Met
everyone is entitled to their opinion as far as I am concerned
You don't have to see my point of view, I respect that you HAVE a point of view, and are not a toady little sheep that believes everything you're told.
