yay jellen

1:16 am

May I please have a clue for sh6-24? Thanks.

1:16 am

can someone clue the ha 6/24?

1:17 am

a style for what grows on your head

1:17 am

s + what's on your head + consonant

1:17 am

I've been watching it too, with disgust for Pat Robertson and that horrible Rush Limbaugh, plus disgust for the countries who are not helping, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc.

1:17 am

ha 6= coif

1:18 am

great.. thank you.. couldn't find it..

1:18 am

Our Governor General (the Queen's representative) was born in Haiti

1:18 am

brb

1:19 am

? never heard of pat robertson or limbaugh

1:19 am

Sorry -- YAY jellen for your fireworks!

1:19 am

Thanks much, Jellen

1:19 am

Thanks, jilli...was feeling a bit ignored...

1:20 am

andree, they are rabid US commentators who hate Obama

1:20 am

do they have a following

1:20 am

Now I must pop off to bed...we're leaving on another trip tomorrow...

1:20 am

i suppose the must have if they make the news

1:21 am

Unfortunately, andree, a large following.

1:21 am

Yes, Andree, they've been around a long time...

1:22 am

nice jellen, enjoy

1:22 am

60 down in 30 minutes and crashing -- see you tomorrow :)

1:22 am

bye nan

1:22 am

Thanks and *poof*

1:23 am

Pat Robertson claimed that Haiti made a pact with the devil years ago when they rebelled against France, and that's why they've had troubles ever since. He's nuts.

1:23 am

bye nan!

1:24 am

bye jellen!

1:25 am

what a nutter and what rubbish, has he similar explanations for other disasters

1:26 am

No idea -- I never listen to him. That crap was reported tonight on the news.

1:26 am

I think he blames hurricanes on the sins of the gays.

1:27 am

shame on the news channel

1:28 am

How about Limbaugh trying to make Obama look bad being quick to respond to the tragedy -- throwing in remarks about "light-skinned an dark-skinned" people.

1:28 am

so hurricane katrina was !!!

1:28 am

no, that news channel was disgusted too.

1:28 am

yeah, I think it was specifically Katrina

1:29 am

are you kidding gremlin

1:30 am

there is so much craziness going on in the USA

1:30 am

nope, not kidding

1:30 am

a racist would hate obama

1:30 am

and he sounds like a racist

1:30 am

yeah, on YouTube videos that show crazy US politics, I always see comments like "you Americans are crazy!"

1:30 am

absolutely

1:31 am

The rest of the world loves Obama

1:31 am

we do often say mostly in jest"only in america"

1:32 am

but mostly in jest as most americans are lovely friendly people

1:32 am

they twist that to their advantage here sometimes, like "those terrorists sure love Obama...I wonder why?"

1:34 am

australians love obama, my son was in there when he was voted in and he says its a day and night he will never forget, he was so moved

1:34 am

Down to two...aa4-5 and dr5-18 please. I'm falling asleep. Thanks

1:35 am

aa is an exclamation

1:35 am

I wonder if bin Laden is rejoicing that thousands of "infidels" have been killed

1:35 am

probably

1:35 am

Thanks much, Andree.

1:35 am

dr*** a letter

1:36 am

andree -- lynxxx was worried about her friends who were heading for Haiti -- do you know if she heard from them?

1:36 am

Thanks again, Andree. Sweet dreams everyone.

1:38 am

when i left yesterday she was trying to phone their parents with no luck but i did hear on the news all 20 aussies are alive

1:41 am

6:27 am

that looked like a french.spanish combo tri

6:28 am

any clues before I poof?

definition for the 7?

and if you're gonna poof, open a window

6:28 am

LOL

6:28 am

very good jean

6:29 am

7 is a plural of the sh6

;-p

sorry to say I don't even have any 6's

6:29 am

lol that was pretty funny... how is everyone this AM?

6:30 am

there is no definition in enable, but it sounds like what you learned in kindergarten... not to be selfish

6:30 am

Morning all. Stuck on the has. Clue for the last 4/5 and the 6/24 please?

6:31 am

4/5 - look at your head, jayk

6:31 am

then extend it for the coif

6:31 am

I am an idiot!

6:32 am

Thanks all! That wasn't so bad!! Done before the workday starts--nice feeling.

6:32 am

woohoo jayk!!!

6:33 am

jean, did you find the 7, or should I do a better clue

no didn't find it is it weird?

6:34 am

yes

6:34 am

sh6 - s + hair covering + consonant

6:34 am

2 left sh's. Help,please.

6:34 am

6:34 am

Ironic. S + what's on your head + consonant, plural

6:34 am

oh crap

6:34 am

ty

6:34 am

that is suppose to be head covering... HEAD

lol

got it, tks

6:35 am

anytime

made me think of broken pieces of glass or pottery

6:36 am

thanks kje and hello everyone!

6:36 am

yes, I thought it was a version of shard, but enable gives no definition

6:36 am

hi annie!!!

6:36 am

hi kje, hows it going in texas?

6:37 am

goin well, annie - I planted herbs last night

6:37 am

in pots in the spare bedroom

6:37 am

basil, cilantro, thyme, chives, and marjoram

6:37 am

Oh, that is lovely..You are giving me an idea. I might do the same.

6:38 am

there is this seed place, annie, that sells disks of seeds, and one disk will fill out a 6 inch pot... very easy as the seeds are all spaced appropriately and such

6:38 am

hold a sec

6:39 am

http://www.johnnyseeds.com/c-3-herb-se eds.aspx

6:40 am

they only have the disks in a handful of species, but then I bought about 20 other types of herbs which I will start in cups this weekend

6:40 am

I should be able to transplant them outside in about 6 weeks (first couple weeks of March)

6:41 am

kje, I just copied down the link and will get some discs later. You give good ideas. Coffee and now herbs.

6:42 am

they are good because they will tell you which will grow in pots and which will not, and if you call, they have very friendly people there who will help you

6:43 am

do you have a balcony or anywhere where you can stick stuff outside, annie?

6:43 am

Thanks for the info. I planted some lavender in the livingroom a while back. I would love to get some thyme, oregano, rosemary.

6:44 am

I do have a balcony but it is quite windy up here. I might be able to hide them in a corner tho but I would ask advice from the friendly folks. Oh what great ideas you have. I once bought herbs at Home Depot and put them aside but they went to herb heaven quickly. This is a better way to go.

6:45 am

*outside not aside

6:46 am

I think a sunny window is just as good... let me know if you plant some, annie and we can grow a garden together ; )

6:48 am

OK, I am going to go get breakfast... will catch you all later - hagd!

6:48 am

I will. Going to order some herbs later. Right now I must have some coffee, then going for a haircut. I do not like having my hair cut, never know how it is going to turn out.

6:48 am

later, kje

6:48 am

well, good luck with the ha4cut annie... and stop by the PB onm your way out - LOL

PB for annie

6:49 am

and when you leave the salon, you will have a new ha6 too annie

6:49 am

Drat! OK, Im off>>>>

6:49 am

poof

6:49 am

had those two, but thanks

6:49 am

6:51 am

good morning crossy!

6:52 am

6:52 am

It must look very pretty

actually,love makes you stronger,as you not only give your heart away,you actually exchange hearts,she with yours,and you with hers.it is a great and honourable responsability to be trusted with the care of anothers heart.i do my best.i love it,make it grow and keep it warm.for almost 20 years now i will not waver in the care of my loved ones heart

7:27 am

yaa for merk

oh crossy, Im sitting here in the ICU with my husband who was in a car wreck on Monday, and that just made me almost cry!

7:28 am

my best wished ofr your husband and a speedy recovery

7:28 am

exactly cross :) I second that fully. As in BabbleRabble's text: better to risk hurt than hide away the heart and make it into something it was never supposed to become.

7:28 am

wtg Merk

thanks, it's going to be a long road, but it looks like it'll be ok

thanks, it's been amazing all the people who pile in around you to help, even if they don't know you

7:31 am

I think one can never have enough support in times like this. It is a hell of a battle.

7:31 am

a lot(most) of us have been there and it is amazing what support from friends can do in times of strife

7:39 am

hi hego!

7:39 am

Crossy is the life of the party.

7:39 am

sheezzzz UFOS should be a valid word. It has long made it from abbrev to full word

7:40 am

thats me! wild and crazy!

7:40 am

and nuts, crossy :P

7:40 am

Sprite, who's the cute kid?

7:41 am

mmm bacon and nuts

7:41 am

not somebody I know personally, hego, but her smile was so infectuous I wanted to share it

7:41 am

She's beautiful

7:42 am

crossy, have you seen the icon theme for 20 feb already?

7:42 am

I agree, hego!

7:42 am

Crossy, you know bacon isn't as bad for you as was once thought.

7:42 am

mornin babblers!

7:42 am

loooking.....

7:42 am

hi EvaN

7:43 am

HORRAY FOR BACON DAY!!!~

7:43 am

brilliant idea from Ata :)

7:43 am

Pork fat is not as saturated as beef fat and a lot drains away during cooking.

7:43 am

speaking of the wonders of bacon: http://tinyurl.com/ycp4f2r

7:43 am

indeed hego,the perfect food

7:44 am

and you don't really consume that much weight wise. a few ounces maybe.

7:44 am

good article eva..yaaa for bacon and eggs and smart babies!

7:45 am

Yep, a couple strips of bacon and duct tape will fix most flats in a jiffy

7:45 am

now your getting the idea br,and when you take them off at the shop they are tenderized

7:46 am

Now who would do that to a nice piece of bacon?

7:46 am

someone with a flat tire?

7:46 am

lol

7:47 am

and bacon bits are like the fairy dust of the salad word..just a sprinkle and you go from bugs bunny to carnivore in a flash;))

7:47 am

and happily!

7:51 am

hold it, hold it, crossy. It ain't Feb 20 yet!

7:51 am

i shall keep myself in check

7:51 am

;)

7:52 am

what's Feb 20?

7:52 am

54 words found and still 3 blank tiles.

7:52 am

hego, check in my profile for the icon theme

7:53 am

its a magical day hego

7:53 am

i even have my icon ready for it

7:54 am

Ah, yes, I see that, Cross.

7:54 am

woot cross!

7:54 am

my republic of bacon flag

7:54 am

:-D

7:54 am

does anyone know where I can get the small icons that you are using

7:55 am

anywhere on internet, Boobear. If you google on a certain theme in google images, for instance, you will get many hits.

need sleep, but can't seem to get it :)

7:56 am

ok ty

7:56 am

here are just a few boo http://www.freeiconsweb.com/

7:56 am

7:57 am

Dumb grid.

7:58 am

Don't worry, I'm sleeping for all of you. LOL

such a nasty issue with sleep... why oh why are we not sleeping!!!???

7:58 am

lol hego. I wonder if it might be a side effect of Babble?

7:58 am

we sit stunned as we watch our 15 year old kid sleep for 15 hours without even stirring

7:58 am

Either you're stressed in some way or you don't require it.

7:59 am

or in too much pain, hego

7:59 am

Lack of exercise can be a problem.

lickety is working in his office... I might sneak down stairs with nothing more than a breath of 'hello' and see if that works

7:59 am

That comes under stress, Sprite.

hego... us babblers are 'full blooded'

8:00 am

?

well, am going to see if lickety 'needs' something...

8:01 am

bye MrP

8:01 am

8:02 am

but of course

8:03 am

8:59 am

Only because I was obsessed with seeing the fireworks everyone spoke of.

9:04 am

Oh - not in a row - I only got the fireworks once. This is my forth day playing.

Help a dane! Ha,24...?

11:08 am

11:09 am

ha6/24 - extend the ha4 for a coif

11:09 am

I visited Copenhagen and Bornholm a year ago

11:09 am

Small village in nothern Seeland, why?

11:10 am

OK. 30 miles from Copenhagen. Skibby is the name of the village

11:10 am

A clue for the sh6 if you please.

11:11 am

I enjoyed Denmark... would like to go ack in warmer weather sometime

11:11 am

But I'm afraid the hint didn't help :-(

11:11 am

sh6 - sounds like what I did with the cookies today when I put them in the break room?

11:12 am

ha6 - stuff on top of your head (unless you are bald) + a verb

11:12 am

Right now it's around 0 celcius here. A week ago it was minus 14. So: Wait

11:13 am

well, ibergo - it was -8 here a few days ago...

11:13 am

Welcome in the club :-) Where are you?

11:14 am

but we will be up to 6 or 7 today

11:14 am

I am in Dallas, TX

11:15 am

That cold in Texas! Thought it was all cactus and sun there :-)

11:15 am

we had a week of subzero, but next week we will be up to 15 - insanity

11:15 am

Texas is huge! dessert in some parts, canyons in others, hills and woods in others... I am no where near the dessert

11:16 am

well, at least about a 4-5 hour drive

11:17 am

Just kiddin'! No icebears here. BTW found that Ha6,24 :-)

11:17 am

ty kje.

11:18 am

The monkeys have been working overtime lately.

11:18 am

What were you doing here? Just vacation?

11:18 am

your english is fantastic

11:18 am

ibergo - I have been to Gedser - are you near there?

11:19 am

the only danish I remember is hej, Glædelig Jul , and tak for sidste

11:20 am

I was visiting friends

11:20 am

Gedser! That'sone of the real outskirts here. LOL. The city is the most southern in DK, and "died" when the ferries to Germany therefrom closed.

11:20 am

well, kind of.. I was traveling with friends who lived on Bornholm for several years and we stayed with a family they knew there

11:20 am

Nearly correct: Glædelig jul, og tak for sidst

11:21 am

well, I didn't say I could SPELL them ; )

11:21 am

:-)

11:21 am

Yes, my friend's dad worked for the ferry system. It is beautiful coastline and very quaint.

hello all

11:22 am

hey TO

11:23 am

In fact it's are some beutiful sights down there around Gedser. Been there for vacation. But the city is a depressing place nowadays.

11:23 am

Hi All

hi kje, iber, hego, pic , fuq

11:24 am

kje, I love your blues. Looks great!

11:24 am

We drove to the big city of Newkabing (I know I butchered that spelling)

11:24 am

Hi TO

11:24 am

thanks hego - it is an iceberg

11:24 am

You certainly did :-)

11:25 am

seemed appropriate when I was sitting in 15 degree weather

11:25 am

it's very pretty and I can't believe your temps there.

11:26 am

it is warming up hego! we will be in the 40s today!

11:26 am

give us a week, and you will want to escape your own winter here

balmy today

11:27 am

actually, I don't mind it too much. I was born and bred in this area and am used to it.

11:28 am

Yes today is a balmy45 here.

11:28 am

I like it too, hego... I was one of the rare people here who was loving the weather

11:29 am

but that is partly b/c I have the clothing for it after living up there for 10 years. For most Texans, they just aren't prepared, so they are miserable

11:30 am

I know

is the top u word very uncommon?

11:31 am

thankfully I still have all my wool socks, cashmere sweaters, down conforters, so I stay quite cozy

1:57 pm

I finally got her to the beach this morning. Soooo much happiness

1:59 pm

joyfulness

1:59 pm

i am being in the process of being forgiven for daring to be away last night!

1:59 pm

how could you!!

2:00 pm

I think you sound like you were being terribly sensible

2:00 pm

very much so

2:05 pm

lyn! daleks pic is FINISHED!

2:08 pm

Wow, that was quick.....It looks fantastic! What did you do it in, I saw that you were painting it, it looked to me like pencil

2:09 pm

it's pencil. I was going to paint it, but just didn't want to

2:10 pm

I hate it now, but I'll like it again in a few days

2:10 pm

It's lovely! as well as quirky. I hope you are going to put some crazy price on it and put it on the Web for sale, bet some fan would happily pay

2:10 pm

lol I've already had 2 people asking about it :)

2:12 pm

Why don't you put it out there anyway, you might get some more commissions from it. It is very good

2:13 pm

ummm, there is not any problem with copyright is there? (what an awful thought)

2:13 pm

I just wish I could take a decent pic of it, the scan is so horrid. Scans are always horrid when you have roughish paper and pencils

2:13 pm

officially, yes. in reality, nope

2:13 pm

especially because none of the daleks are standard BBC daleks

2:15 pm

I really needed to do that pic though. Last year I was having a real battle with myself about doing things like celtic knotwork - things that aren't "standard" detailed fantasy painting. Were they worth less because they were designs, not art? So I wanted to do this pic to prove to myself that really I do knotwork because that's what I choose to do, not because I can't do "standard" art if I want to

2:15 pm

If you got it commercialey scanned would/could it be any better?

2:16 pm

oh yes, much

2:16 pm

and I'll take it to my nice scanner man when the snow's all gone

2:16 pm

hi everyone :)

2:17 pm

hi Cybernan

2:17 pm

hi cnan

2:17 pm

beautiful knotwork ata

2:18 pm

oooo where? lol

2:18 pm

had a look at your profile yesterday, but you weren't around at the time

2:19 pm

ohhhh :D ty!

2:21 pm

I can finally get back to some knotwork now :)

2:22 pm

stuck at 65 -- guess I'll have to resort to the list

2:23 pm

Good! I agree with C'nan

2:24 pm

Nothing too weird in there C'nan. Do you want some help?

2:24 pm

ugh -- missed two fish

2:25 pm

I'll let you know when I've been through the list, ty lynxxx

2:27 pm

another fish!

2:27 pm

lol

2:27 pm

I might get an early start to my day. Bye all!

2:30 pm

I believe that Enable should accept the word "UFOS".

5:09 pm

I am beginning to dislike all words that begin with vowels.

5:13 pm

hi mom and minver, how are you doing this evening?

5:13 pm

hello Dorens. long time, how are things?

5:14 pm

words are akin to original sin. both may be disliked but neither is accountable for its making

5:16 pm

hi babrab... things are fine here mom, how about you? It has been a while.. have you been here when I haven't, or did you take a break from babbling?

5:16 pm

i don't think i dislike any words, babrab, just the conepts they represent sometimes

5:17 pm

Good to see you, Dorens

5:18 pm

you too.... I am at school... need to go to the High School with some of my "peer leaders" at 7, so just sitting at my desk eating leftovers and babbling away

5:20 pm

What are the leaders having you peer at?

5:21 pm

Hello Dorens!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:21 pm

I didn't have a lot of time to babble but try to do some each day. I am glad things are fine with you. THings here are good as well

5:21 pm

I wish I could get Babble at school but site is blocked.

5:21 pm

hahah... they are supposed to lead their peers.. Unfortunately, this crop of 8th graders aren't quite up to snuff... and out of ten, i'm not sure there will be more than two who show up, but as their advisor, it would be bad form for me not to be there

5:22 pm

it was blocked here last year, but somehow things changed, and I hope it stays this way... it really helps when I have a lot planned in the evenings to be able to come on here lunch time and knock back a few

5:23 pm

glad you're well mom, i actually have thought about you and wondered... noticed i hadn't seen you

5:24 pm

I have missed seeing you

5:24 pm

5:29 pm

5:30 pm

5:31 pm

5:32 pm

Aknitter, off topic, have you heard of the knitting (and crocheting_ site. www.ravelry.com

7:27 pm

love that site i visit there every night

7:27 pm

(don't forget the pillow, coloring books and warm blankie) *relurk*

7:27 pm

LOL hi stid

7:27 pm

{{Stid}} how thoughtful

7:28 pm

A group of us in the area belong

7:28 pm

I haven't mastered knitting yet, but am crocheting

7:28 pm

i love looking at what others have made. i am fascinated by color choices that people make

7:28 pm

and doing the CAL 6" blocks

7:29 pm

some I would never think to put together

7:29 pm

and some are such bright colors

7:30 pm

i stink at color choices. i think it is a talent not something to be learned. i know what "go" together but not what work together

7:30 pm

I stink at colors too

7:31 pm

I just don't have an eye for stuff like that

7:32 pm

my father does - skipped a generation i gues

7:33 pm

lol, that is a thought

7:33 pm

stupid phone BRB

7:37 pm

7:52 pm

sweet dreams to you too Mom.

7:58 pm

back in a bit. new bones is on.

Hello Babblers. Hope all is well.

8:19 pm

HI RED

8:19 pm

I was lurking but came out to say H ito you

hi lurker DR! how are you?

8:23 pm

hi all

8:23 pm

jumped back on babble to ask a question, if I might

hi nrkii.

8:23 pm

Hi Nrkii

8:23 pm

I am good Red- how are you?

We are open for Questions.

8:24 pm

OK, Etiquette junkies out there... we're planning a bridal shower. Miss Manners says only people who will be invited to the wedding may be invited to a shower (otherwise it's just trolling for loot). Thoughts?

I'm warming up DR< so all is well...

I think...that Miss Manners is correct. Partly because I really hate bridal showers and would never find an invitation to one as invite for fun...unlike the bachelorette party, hich can be fun...

8:25 pm

I agree also

8:26 pm

Hmmmm.... crap!

8:26 pm

The bride and groom are operating under a tight budget, so have had to pare down their guest list a lot.

8:26 pm

And there are some family friends who I know would love to be included in the shower, but under these rules of etiquette, we can't invite them!

If someone wants to give a gift, they will do it shower or not.

8:26 pm

hmmm

8:27 pm

it's not so much about the gift, as it is the party

8:27 pm

though I'm with you red, I'm not a fan of showers either

8:27 pm

hi all (so why not just have a party and call it a party?)

I might be tempted instead of a shower to just have a party then...

8:28 pm

do they know the situation with the bride and groom?

8:28 pm

(on the invites: no gifts, please)

8:28 pm

well, it's the grandmothers who are throwing it (I'm just the out-of-town aunt), so I think they are really thinking shower

8:29 pm

the people who would be left out... they wouldn't be expecting to be invited to the wedding

8:29 pm

tough call I think

8:29 pm

are they friends or family

Yes it's a difficult call, but if it's going to be a shower shower, and there are people who were invited and people who weren't, someone is probably going to get their panties in a wad.

8:30 pm

probably some of each

8:30 pm

hehe, you didn't ask for my opinion, nrk, but i'm not shy ... no matter how much you think "they wouldn't be expecting to be invited to the wedding," there;ll be someone whose feelings will be hurt

8:30 pm

holy cow, red and i must be related

At some point someone is going to think, "I can't believe so and so is invited and I wans't!"

Great minds Welki!

8:31 pm

I'd love to be able to send them a separate unique invite, saying, look, you're not invited to the wedding, so don't bring a gift, but please come eat finger sandwiches and give the bride a hug

nrkii, no one would dare show up at a shower sans gift.

8:32 pm

i used to have 'reject' parties for everyone who had no place to go on new years

8:32 pm

how many extra people are you talking about, nrk?

8:33 pm

somewhere between 2 and 6 probably

8:33 pm

...and how many $ per plate do you think the bride and groom are spending

8:33 pm

oh, no, these people won't ever make the wedding invite list... it's like... they're friends of my mom's, and so they would be delighted to celebrate with my mom the wedding of her first granddaughter

8:33 pm

hell, that'd be a nice wedding present from you (or several folks, divided up), nrk .. pay for the extra places and then EVERYONE can go to the shower :)

8:34 pm

ohhh ... and you're out of town, so it's not like you can have a separate get together after the wedding?

8:35 pm

well, my mom could do it... but she's co-hosting with my brother's mother-in-law, so it makes it tricky

I think nrkii, that the shower is sort of about the bride, so who should be there should really be her friends, not her Mom's, unless some of Mom's friends have a special relationship with the bride

8:35 pm

(and i think miss manners means that folks who aren't invited to the reception shouldn't be invited to the shower ... lots of folks (business/casual acquaintances) get invites only to the ceremony

ice Cream time.

8:36 pm

yeah, red's right

8:36 pm

well, the bride's mom will throw her a shower for that side of the family (divorce... many sides to this family) and the maid of honor will handle friends

8:37 pm

so all we're worried about is the father of the bride side of the family (and the stepmother of the bride)

8:37 pm

ACK! too complicated!!!

8:37 pm

the only kind of showers i attend are those that involve running water and soap

8:38 pm

<-- hates being told when to give a present and will give one when she darn well pleases :)

8:39 pm

I'm with you on that welki, and I especially hate REGISTRIES!!!

8:39 pm

hellloooo

8:39 pm

won't find my name on a registry either

8:39 pm

hi eno

8:39 pm

not a nice grid tonight :(

8:39 pm

You will bring a gift on this date at this time and it should come from this list, and in exchange, we will give you finger sandwiches and make you sit in an uncomfortable chair watching the bride open gift after gift after gift....

8:39 pm

hi Eno

8:39 pm

hate registries too!!!!

8:40 pm

i can help with a clue or two, eno

8:40 pm

hate showers tooo

8:40 pm

just starting welki, need 69 of them, don't think I will pursue much longer - but ty

Registries don't bother me too much...greedy registries do though.

8:41 pm

given the choice between going to a shower or going fishing ... easy peasy

8:41 pm

what is the difference red?

8:42 pm

when there are no gifts that a "normal" person could afford

Well, for Babies and such it is nice to see what people need...I dislike giving people their sixth car seat....

I dislike when people put things on there that are "dream gift items"

8:43 pm

ahhhhh,,, since i never really look at them, I did not know - I pretty much give what I want and can afford - very practical

8:43 pm

yes, for babies it is useful

8:43 pm

**Squeal** Thank you, Cousin Ivanka!! You bought me a Maserati!

8:44 pm

clue for the 7

8:44 pm

pls

8:44 pm

and a porsche would be nice too

For one of my cousins, I foudn out she wanted a knife set. It was in my price range so I sent it, and didn't have to think about it more...she is not my fav cousin.

8:44 pm

I reister at teh dealer next door...

8:44 pm

register...

8:45 pm

s + the stuff that grows out of the top of your head + I REALLY *'ont like showers!

8:45 pm

(oh, and plural for the 7)

8:45 pm

ty

It's a funny thing the registry. I like the ones that have items as little as 5.00 up to some more pricey items, but some times you get on it and it's all 500.00 china...

8:46 pm

well, this ol' welki is calling it a night .. adios, chicas!

gnite welki, my shower relative...

8:46 pm

night welki

8:46 pm

thanks for the input

8:47 pm

night night welki

8:47 pm

red, I just hate going to a shower and watching the bride open gift after gift after gift from her registry... it's the most boring thing ever

That and I do not like shower games. I'm more fond of a luncheon type event.

8:49 pm

If I get married, I want people to throw me a shower where we play poker and black jack, do a beer tasting, and have ridiculously sappy romantic comedies playing in the background

perfect, all the winnings go to you nkrii as a gift!

8:50 pm

ooh, that's an inspired thought, red

Weddings are very complicated.

8:54 pm

shoot, gotta go

8:54 pm

thanks for the advice!

bye!

8:57 pm

May I have a clue for the lower O in the middle column please for NBT?

goofy clumsy Oa**.

8:58 pm

Get the fish....sorry! But TY!

8:58 pm

Hi all. I can't believe that "UFDA" isn't a WORD! It's the best word I know (here in MN, that is)!

8:59 pm

OK...I have to ask...UFDA?

9:01 pm

Ufda!

9:01 pm

yeah. It's a good Scandinavian response to any question; an exclamation of surprise, a word of sympathy; etc. It all depends on the inflection

9:01 pm

AND, it isn't a swear word!

9:01 pm

Cool!

9:02 pm

you've never heard it before? "Ufda!" What part of the country are you in?

9:02 pm

ufda!

9:03 pm

hi tor. Have you heard it before (or are you just pulling my leg?)

9:03 pm

Massachusetts...where everything is Wicked Pissa!

9:03 pm

LOL! I've never heard *that* expression before!

9:04 pm

I have heard it .. Been to Minn a few times ..

9:04 pm

Poofing out again...have to get some more work done! Nite all!

9:04 pm

Ya, sure you betcha! :-D

9:05 pm

bye car.

9:07 pm

Oh ya ..

9:09 pm

this is a nasty grid. (or in Minnesota speak: "ufda' this is a nasty grid")

9:09 pm

hi again everyone!

9:09 pm

ufda=oivey

9:10 pm

hi lbd! How are you doing tonight?

9:10 pm

9:12 pm

9:15 pm

I pray you the peace tonight to thank God for you tiredness

9:15 pm

Hi Nef

9:44 pm

It's someone from many years ago working one of the first computers.

9:44 pm

I haven't updated it in ages -- ha4!

9:44 pm

9:46 pm

9:46 pm

Go mkg go!

9:47 pm

hi kris!

9:47 pm

Hi lbdawger!

9:47 pm

Do you know what your MIL did, Nef?

9:49 pm

No, and neither does my DH. She dies the year we got married and had been a quad in a nursing home for several years before that (M.S.)

9:49 pm

Oh - so sorry!

9:50 pm

Was she in the service? You might be able to get her service record.

9:50 pm

it's okay. My mom died at age 32, his died at age 51. We "adopted" grandmothers for our kids.

9:51 pm

My hubby found his dad's record in a box of papers. It said what his job was.

9:51 pm

How sad to lose moms so young! But very nice to be able to choose grandmothers for your kids!

9:52 pm

no, she wasn't in the service. But there was a big Ammunitiions plant here and she may have worked there with her sister.... The things you don't knowto ask about before the older generations die....

ladies and gentlemen i am ready to BABBLE!!!

9:53 pm

Go Book!

and hi y'alls

9:53 pm

Hey, Gwen, welcome to the grid

9:54 pm

Nef, it seems like there should be someone who knows about the plant.

9:54 pm

hi gwen. getting a late start aren't ya?

howdee kris, nef, and eveebuddy

9:55 pm

lots of people know about the plant. The problem is trying to find somewhere that records were kept about who worked there (especially the women)

late? no it's only 11pm here LOL

9:55 pm

Hi Gwen - fortunately it's a small grid :)

9:56 pm

alas, i'm not a night owl, and must head for my pillows. good luck with the grid, gwen. Night everyone! see you tomorrow.

9:56 pm

g'night lb - I'm right behind you.

Aasif!! is not worth any points.

night nights kids

9:57 pm

LoL Gwen

9:57 pm

Anybody need a clue before I leave?

9:57 pm

Or shall I throw random ones out?

43 of them, yes dearie lol

9:58 pm

LoL

us the U a weird word?

9:59 pm

not too - think big and small bear in the sky

ahhhh

gots it

my surname is in the grid 8-D

9:59 pm

tu 4/8 - like the big horn from the marching band, but change a letter

10:00 pm

Is your surname aaaa?

10:00 pm

how about the A smack dab in the middle?

10:00 pm

or sshh?

10:00 pm

or ttrr?

10:01 pm

I think that A is a song in an opera

fo4, latin for a moat (or ditch, but I prefer moat)

yet, ar4, opera solo

10:01 pm

ty ty ty

having a last name Aaaa would put you first in line almost everywhere!!

10:02 pm

yw

10:02 pm

I like the fo4, and the 5 after it

that would be a bunch of moats

10:03 pm

wo's are funny

10:03 pm

2 sound like Elmer Fudd talking about a map

i have wo4, wo5, wo4, wo4, what missing?

10:03 pm

And 2 are likely to put many people from the chat into the pb

missed the other wo5 plural, DOH!

10:04 pm

aa4!

the elmer fudd one is a kind of cloth, IFNS

10:05 pm

I'm sorry - a mustard plant that makes a blue dye? cognitive dissonance!

hmmm, maybe it's a dye that is used on cloth. or possibly both

10:07 pm

I just clicked on the ? to see what it meant...never heard of it before

10:07 pm

I'm missing a 6 - have two S and one H. the other?

i have a distant memory of a silly english song about it

10:08 pm

There are 3 s6

me no have any 6s yet!!

10:08 pm

I have Elmer Fudd singing the John Denver song - "Country ...."

10:09 pm

They're all odd w5, Gwen

10:09 pm

11:28 pm

Thank you for the encouragement, jilli and Pini.

11:28 pm

YAY nef!!!

11:29 pm

Hi nan!

11:29 pm

anytime!!!

11:29 pm

YOU knew you could do it, nef!

11:30 pm

wow! That's 4 finishes this week in a row! I don't know when I last did that!

11:30 pm

congrats, nef

11:30 pm

that's great!

11:30 pm

are you done, nan?

11:30 pm

yes -- finished this morning

11:31 pm

so I'm the only slacker her tonight.

11:31 pm

hey, I resemble that remark, Nef!

11:32 pm

no slacker -- you've just been busy, I imagine

11:33 pm

We have surpassed our all time high count in MFA applications this year...

11:33 pm

MFA?

11:33 pm

previous high was 588 (2008), when I left work today, we were at 642

11:34 pm

MFA = Master of Fine Arts (graduate degree)

11:34 pm

it was a long hard day, jilli. Not a bad day, just long and hard. It started out with Comcast being out thhis AM (so no phone or internet), then work was busy then DIL had a kidney stone so over to help her and take care of grandson.

11:34 pm

wow! Incidentally, pini, grqandson is doing his MA at UBC

11:34 pm

oh my, nef...very busy!

11:35 pm

ouch for DIL, nef!

11:35 pm

how's he doing, jilli?

11:36 pm

yeah, I feel bad because she's crazy; but at least this time she had something bad going on and it wasn't all delusional

11:36 pm

I guess you've noticed it's typo time again. Very tired -- fell asleep for about 15 minutes earlier!

11:36 pm

Pini, what do you do?

11:36 pm

I'm a Business Manager for two small departments at a large research university.

11:38 pm

What do people do with MFA's in this econoy?

11:38 pm

go to school

11:38 pm

not sure what they do after that

11:38 pm

(browser acting up again --or something)

11:38 pm

LOL!

11:39 pm

Nef, grandson is doing his MA in Creative Writing

11:39 pm

oh my!

11:39 pm

he didn't want to come to my program, huh, jilli! :)

11:39 pm

with an emphasis on poetry and short stories

11:40 pm

I might have been nice to him, too!

11:40 pm

such lucrative fields

11:40 pm

pini, I think he felt he couldn't afford it

11:40 pm

and such HUGE school loans to pay off with those future earnings!

11:41 pm

well, he would have gotten a tuition waiver and a teaching position with monthly stipend ;)

11:42 pm

I told him that, but . . . I don't know!

11:42 pm

well, either way, I hope he does well!!!

11:43 pm

I'm watching my kids struggle to pay off their loans now. I thought *I* had it bad when I was young; but I paid my loans off by working "a lot" and long hours.

11:44 pm

Thanks, pini. I don't understand what's going on. I recently told him about a possible grant and he didn't even acknowledge my suggestion.

11:44 pm

These kids have to find jobs where they can earn extra $$ because they sure don't get to work full time!

11:44 pm

seems rather odd, eh, jilli?

11:45 pm

durn kids these days......

11:45 pm

He has no job -- his mother is supporting him, and he's 31 now. But she controls everything.

11:45 pm

oh, wow! that's bad!

11:45 pm

Very odd. I give up!

11:46 pm

oh my

11:46 pm

is she a control freak; or is he unmotivated?

11:47 pm

Maybe both?

11:48 pm

He's had lots of jobs in the past, like barista at Starbucks, planting trees, selling stuff at Tilley Endurables, shepherding in France, tutoring kids...

11:48 pm

he wanted to teach ESL but never took the course, did some of it anyway.

11:49 pm

wow, so he isn't just sitting home letting Mama run his life?

Hi Pink, jilli, and Nef, Also midnight, the witching hour when Babble flips. They I decide do I stay up or go back to bed, deciding on how many words.

11:50 pm

I'm getting close to that!

11:50 pm

Oh no. He doesn't live at home. Has a gf in Montreal who already has her MA in poetry -- he flew back there for Xmas -- guess mama paid the fare.

11:50 pm

11:51 pm
