brb, time to prepare veggies. why, oh, why, is himself so helpless when it comes to veggies?
lol sounds familiar
he can burn meat like no other, too
my hubby is pretty decent grilling

Posted on BobAnon. good luck everyone
ty arb very much down to 24
yay, arb.well done!
tis with mine him: how do I cook a baked potato? me: you know perfectly well how to do it him: I put it in the microwave and then the oven? me: yes! so why ask me!
lol
lol ata!
he'll make it explode and then you'll have to clean it up
he can cook better than me!
see you later; I had better start the day
don't mention starting the day, then I'll have to do it too :P
you hv another hour by my reckoning ata
back, have about 20 mins before the next helpless cry from the kitchen.* sigh *
lol how is your foot today?
bye ruby
much better, thanx, dee.pain levels considerably lower
fantastic, must mean antibiotic is working YAY
ditto! YAY!!!
yup, coping on just paracetamol for last couple of days.
wow big improvement
sure is, i have also completed 2 parts of my 3 part assessment for a pain management program. you should have seen their faces when i told them they had to do it drug- free.
geesh could have sworn I entered a word... been looking for 8 minutes grrr
wow
can they?
sure hope so, dee. it's the only way i can go back to my regular work.i me4, would you like to wake up after surgery to a nurse who is high on drugs
no, but I am sorry to say when I had my gall bladder out, I could have sworn one of them was
also, the drugs may impair my judgement...can't take that risk.
finally fireworks
I totally understand
WTG DEE!!!
and admirable that you aren't willing to try it
ty finally & ty for all of your help
big hug to you!!!
the other thing is, over here, we can be pulled up by the police and checked for drug usage
good idea actually; just read recently that in California marijuana has been legalized... cannot imagine driving out there... bad enough with traffic and road rage
don't think it would be a good thing, to be found with high levels of morphine in my blood.....
can't smoke in public places; cannot use some unhealthy oil to fry food, but marij is oka
quite true
marijuana, in CA is legalized for medicinal purposes only
we really are nuts... God has to go from weeping over us to laughing out loud
marijuana can be legalised without it being legal to drive under the influence
aww ty for clarification dal... was told otherwise
g'night all. 15 left but must sleep
now that is very strange, dee
like in the Netherlands
nite freep, sleep well
dal clarified granny
marijuana helps gluacoma patients and helps ease pain such as in cancer patients
well all... need to get my butt moving, too
ty arb wherever you are!!
hugs til the flip granny and all!
nite, dee, ((( HUGS )00 to you
*poofing*
5 mins folks, then i have to go...anyone ne4 a hand?
okay.i take that as a no. nite. see you all at the flip.
* poof * don't forget....arb has listed in babanon
anyone there?
hi oodle..
hi aloy
phantom: bedpan, lol.. how are you?
ok I will not be finishing it with no lickety :-(
I'm ok and you?
but granny said that arb posted in babanon
am ok too.. up early, coffee is brewing
i do hot chocolate
umm, good
and hazelnut flavored coffee
like that too
you know nescafé?
thought "ampage" was a word, but not.. yes, I do.. but I don't drink instant coffee; do you have nescafe chocolate?
no never saw it... it is a coco or a mix of cocoa and coffee?
lol, have never seen it either..
it is made by nestlé's chocolate though so they do have chocolate
ah.. the nestle's headquarters is where I used to teach.. in NE Ohio
oh wow I thought it was in switzerland
Stouffer's is there too
It is .. but the US HQ
brb.. coffee is ready!
oh ok.... I used to do hershey's but not after they closed a factory in west canada and moved it to mexico
that really hurts cause I love reeses peanut butter cups but hershey makes those so no more
.. back.. I hear you .. we know so many who have lost jobs that way, the rug has been pulled out from under them
then they give me a reason that we are following the philosophy of the founders... what to take away any pride that people have and giving it to someone else?
enjoying this grid so far, just found am5.16, enjoyed watching them ooze around under the microscope, so I did an "am5.16 dance"
yup.. my sister is in that boat, looking now for about a year
I thought there was an O in it
after the m
there is more than one spelling, you are correct
omg where was she
well, she started in NC (Burlington), is now in Tx
oh I got the impression that she worked for hurshey's
outsourcing.. all the clothes are made elsewhere.. no, just another example of the company moving on
Hello, folks .... hope your onions are in good form today
top of the morning to you, BR!
hi BR and our onions are fine, nice and firm and delectable
speaking of onions, we can't find onion sets to plant.. we are told it is bc an onion farm in TX flooded, so we have to wait
in ohio or florida
fla now
You will have to make an urgent a peel for the onion sets
and why are you planting this early in ohio isn't the ground too frozen now... oh
ar ar ar BR
lol, gags on coffee
now see what you did BR
dribbles out nose
ugly scene here
are you ok Aloy
grabs towel to protect computer
how are the onions in Fargo BR?
ok .. ty for the chuckle to start the day, BR
sorry is was ill-timed
np, need a refill tho
rather bulbous in a cool sort of way
speaking of which I even run onions i have under cold water and my eyes still tear
have been thinking of a way to rate grids.. 1 being the easiest, working on parameters.. if you can find all the words without the clue list or a word list, that is a 1
and or you don't have a brain?
well, if you can't find any words, lol..
perhaps that should be a 2. A 1 could be all that and not looking at chat. Hello all
right, lynxxx, I forgot about chat.. must add that
hi ya lyn
then a 2 could be, "with the aid of chat"
anyone else following the haiti disaster?
of course Oodle, so awful
I do and I don't, oodle.. can not dwell on it as it affects me
yes I need a break from it too but I want to know where they are ... going to look at cnn now... brb
How far is Haiti in miles from you Aloy?
about 500 from Miami, which is maybe 2 hours from here
we will be hosting refugees in this area
Very close to home in many ways
hope the aid is getting through more efficiently to those who need it..
BBL Daughter just got home from work so going to heat up some food for us both
later, lynxx..
ok they are still talking about the same things they were last night, nothing new... and yes they have about 50 more doctors on site and more helicopters to distribute food
I think 50 or was it 15
saw Brian Williams last night, clearly upset at the lack of aid on sight
"dane" is not in the dictionary. Hrmmpff. How about "american"?
hi ibergo, nice to meet you
hi there
where are you from?
You have three guess :-)
ok, a hint first.. is the sun up?
Parlly
h'mm.. what's the weather like?
-1,5 C Very cloudy and windy. Little bit of snow now and then. You could get a hint from my hrmpfff before :-)
Guessing by the flag and the sunny avatar, you must be in the southern USA?
ah so.. Nova Scotia?
yes, am now in the "Sunshine State"
No. Not Nova Scotia. The "other" world!
Older Scotia?
7F here -14C
ooh, brrrr oodle!
in quebec city ibergo
Off for some lunch!
I think we are going to get to -50 this year
lunch? and the sun is only partially up?
ok enjoy...
lunch???
Scandia
bye, ibergo.. (-:
hello everyone
hello all
hi Annie!
hi miss annie
what about Denmark, Aloy?
.. and peri!
hi Annie
hi peri, aloy, sir oodle, ibergo
shoulda guessed that, peri
going to make some coffee, brb
me too, back later
Hi Babblers. Summery day here. I just made my girls a yummy lunch because they are in the throes of midterms. I am enjoying my second cuppa for the day.
Well THAT was a conversation stopper!
hi Michnick.. lol, I was actually "in the grid"..
nah... everyone is in the grid and/or getting coffee
almost time for a bagel
hi Aloy, oodle. OK. OOh, Send me one! Can you get decent bagels in Florida?
well, semi-decent.. no bakery close by, sigh
I guess that means frozen then?
not quite that bad, Mich.. brand name ones. I really like freshly made..
I know, I am just spoiled, my coffee has to be freshly groud/brewed and my bagels, etc freshly made.
what is your favorite smear for a bagel, Mich?
I've always wanted to make my own bagels but I never have enough hours for such a big project.
I like cream cheese with scallions with slices of onion, tomato & lox.
used to make my own.. lot of fussing
nutritious and delicious
That's what I figurerd.
well, if you have low fat cream cheese
anyone know what the lone R is on the east side
one who has regrets
not there yet, oodle.. but will look
I don't know but I assume it's an rh.
ru4/5
hi Jean!
gm aloy :-)
have that for the r before it
no, that's the lone r
Got it, one who is sorry
if it's not then it's the large land bird
rh4/5
that for the r above it
ah, ty Mich.. see it now
well, I have it blacked and I believe the ru4/5 did it
ru4/5 one who, not past tense
It is the ru, Esprit, it is the noun form.
yup, a different ru4.5, Jean.. you got it
Glad I looked, it's my only gray tile.
the singles usually drive me nuts
hey, that's a start!
2 gray, I got the lone u.
I got the lone e
Can you clue it?
em,5/14
just like am5/14
Hmm, don't have either, looking.
looking for that lone u now
am5 to make a correction to
ah, found it
TY Esprit, got them both now.
:-D
phantom: enema
good morning. For a larger grid this one seems quite challenging, probably because there is no 'S" anywhere!
u can have it aloy
howdy red!
*whimpers*
gm red
lol, Jean!
Hi red. Bye for now all, I must go serve my dedicated studiers their yummy lunch (Baked ziti with 3 kinds of cheese!!)
it is like you people are speaking a different language cause I don't know of which you speak nor understand your clues
bye mich
yum.. bye for now, Mich
hi red
bbye mich
BBL *poof*
Bye Mich and hello to all!
My mom is coming in a few hours! and thus, I can not clean the house any more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Morning all
hi Soodle!
hello Soodle, how goes it?
Good, Red! I see your still frantically cleaning?
clean is over rated
it prevents you from building up natural immunities
going to publish my theory very soon
Feel free to use my house as an exhibit, Jean!
:-D
No, i am now done. I am grateful to my Mom for giving me the inspiration to clean, the house is a heck of a lot nicer now....
:)
ooodle, how do you say whimper in French?
le whimper
lol, jean
*gémis*
thanks, oodle, but, of course, nobody whimpers around here....lol
or is it wimper
or wimpier
and I am a nobody?
but, unfortunately, you're not around here!!!
oh you mean there where you are ruby.. I thought you meant here in babble
no no, I think I'm the only whiner in babble
the others are quite stoic!
Oh No Your Not, Ruby
hardly Ruby, we all are whining at times
lol soodle
afternoon everyone
Hiya Katie
hi Katie!
and I don,t whine????
never!!!!!
ahah, I finally made it to half!!
hog wash
hello katie
I am desperately trying to get to half and then I can do some dishes and get dressed...
how do you say hogwash in french, oodle??? lol
unfortunately, half is about all I can do.....
Oh my! Red is Babbling in the nude!!
with dirty dishes too
uh oh
I am not but if I were, I probably am not the only one!!!!
And her mother on her way....
too cold here for that!
FOUTAISE
hahah
you know what that means??
my husband's favorite expressin (but in English!!!)
hee hee hee
yes I do!
.. worse than hogwash?
yup
yes aloy
has to do with horses
I am happy to report that FLorida is back into regular temps.
maybe "BS"
it is BS
tg for that, red
yes, my whole outlook has improved greatly!
good, red, Fla. can't handle those temps
good but still lost a lot of oranges ... which is going to see an increase of orange prices here... like prices here aren't high enough
but we are "living with ugly".. so much frost damage from the worst cold spell in 33 years
I lived inMiami for a long time and saw snow only once, on Christmas day
was that in 1987, ruby?
well, true. Aloy. about 30% of the crop is estimated to be damaged. SO lots of Juiceing going on.
I think so
well first time we saw it here.. cause the last 5 years IT RAINED
it was beautiful, but it didn't stick!
we came in to Miami from a cruise then, and it was so cold that we didn't even go through customs, they just waved us all through
in france, our oranges come from Italy and No. Africa
so.. we didn't pay for the extra bottles of rum, lol
where do you live, Aloy?
where do you live, Aloy?
well it isn't a total loss then
sorry for the double take
My fruit comes from next door. :)
sw Fla, ruby.. about two hours from Miami
we have a small grove, and .. holding our breaths
i miss the fresh orange juice I used to get in fla when I was there
it was so yummy
we have friends on Marco Island and also in Gainesville and, of course, lots in Miami
good luck Aloy, did you irrigate at night?
the honey bells were frozen.. the hamlins are supposed to be picked but are dropping.. the valencias.. remain to be seen. No, red, the wind speed was over 5mph, so you can't irrigate with microjets
207 words. 189 left. Don't think I have the patience!
last night, because it got warmer and rained, snow came off the roof and decimated my azaleas and little maples
wb, ibergo
aww, sorry for that, ruby.. rats!
see everybody later, thanks for the nice chat
oh awful, news Aloy on the Honey Bells. I do love those. Right now I am gorging on Tangelos from the local organic grower...too many seeds but otherwise good.
ttfn, ruby
and you did it with no list eh ibergo????
I have these beautiful, tiny, Japanese maples and they don't like heavy snow
No. I found 19 words now. On my own :-)
go, ibergo, go!
I don't use a list, but never get more than half
I wait until I have about 30-40 left and the devour the list!
lotsa latin pl in this grid
ohhh 189 LEFT ... I thought you got 189
DUH
don't know latin!!! barely know french
Ha-ha
"ae" ending, ruby
vocAB LIKE A FARMER
almost half, lol, whine
me too ruby, I am at 98/109
I just got to 104 but I think that's the end for me
I'm better at cleaning the house, red......
Oh gosh I wish I was. I shampooed the carpet, and because the humidity is up, I am suspicious that the house now smells like wet doggie. :(
tell me about wet doggie!!! when it rains it's uh oh around here.....
well, finished with "first sweep", so off to fix so b'fast.. bbs ..
bye aloy
Have you any scented candles, Red? They cover a multitude
its a hard smell to get rid of!!!!
The goodish news is that I am picking Mom up at the airport, we are immediately going to a "spa" for 3 days in St Aug, and then coming to the house only for one overnight.
very pervasive! and if you touch the pups, then your hands smell too. All I do is wash my hands and go into another room
spa sounds wonderful!
Oooh rh**, the flightless bird is in the grid...
just tripped over her
bye for real, this time
yes, my Mother is a photographer, so we will spend a lot of time doing photography and then having long baths etc.
so is em4/6
you two have some outstanding photos red
thanks Jean, my mother is the best, she actually edited the photo in my profile. while I took it...I owe her for tidying it a bit.
Okey, I am at 105/102, must go finish up the tidying of the home. will pop in and out for a while!
see you later red
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Gone sleeping?
good day all
Hello Sprite :)
Soodle! *hug* How's life?
Good, Sprite! And how are you?
sun's in the sky, computer works fine and I have time for babble. I am good :)
Thats very good to hear :)
how's the grid?
Icky! And no list!
nope, I noticed. All good words I enter give me a red flash, grin.
hi Sprite! .. back from b'fast.. Soodle, I heard that Arb posted a list in Babanon and I am almost to the point of checking it out
Thanks Aloy. But, I think I will struggle on for another while....
hi Aloy! Terra says hi. He is sorry to see the snow melt, but now he jumps around in all the water as if it isn't ice cold.
Hi Sprite!! Hi Te***!
49 left and have hit a wall.. give Terra a good scratch behind the ears and a big hug for me, Sprite.. how big is he now?
oh darn! *Off to PB* Hi lyn :)
lol, to the PB with us both
wb lynxxx
a little under the knee. Will post new pics soon, got them on this computer now and all I have to do is upload them to Flickr
so, how old is he?
almost a year now. Will be exactly a year on Feb 2.
a birthday on Groundhog's Day! Are you still giving him the glucosamine chondoitin?
hi all
yes, he has food now that contains it. He does wonderfully on it. No pain anymore, he is happy and jumpy and playful.
hi jmc
hi jmc :)
hi jmc.. and happy news, sprite, I'm so glad
thanks Aloy, so are we! It is the best to see him so happy and healthy. He is my little sun, every day.
didn't know about the food, wish I did when our dog needed it, but maybe it wasn't on the market then
quite possible, they are learning more about dogs and their food every day. What we have is Hill's Science Plan, Healthy Mobility, Adult mini
ty, will keep that in mind for others
do you think Hill's must be worth buying shares in? They are all over Vets and pet Shops here too!
it is incredibly good food. When I compare Te5 with the dogs our breeder has, his coat is shinier, his weight is better, his eyes are clearer, he moves better and he has more energy.
morning Babblers - bright sunshine this a.m.
hi bo
howdy bojazz! very cloudy here, but we would welcome some rain
hi Bojazz
you can have my clouds and rain
had light rain all night - warmer today
sprite - in the char log your icon is a baby. in your profile it is Goth???
chat nor car
refresh bo -- sometimes that will help
??? not car either
*giggle* take the mittens off bo
that did it?? but lickety won't refresh or clear or anything
LOL
close the lickety window entirely
if that doesn't do it you can either clear out your cache or reboot the computer
Don't think Lickety is there today, list on BabAnon
sorry, was afk for a bit. Hi bojazz!
or find out there is no lickety! lol
there is no Lickety list, don't worry about your computer, grin.
ok, now I HAVE to install mailwasher. All this spam is driving me crazy.
that has been one of the big pluses of having a blackberry is that it is really easy to delete spam
a blackberry! Now that sounds very sophisticated. Isn't that the rolls royce among the PDAs?
I never get Spam, only ever had 2 unwanted emails in 4 years. I have always had Norton Security - I guess that is why
no it is more like the austin healy -- very cool but a bit out of date
ah, see how out of date I am myself ;)
in my future is a droid!
well it only took a year for it to go from very hot to out of date! lol
norton is very good, though it used to slow down the computer after a while. It used to be a really BIG program. Is it different now?
i have Norton too and am very pleased
coffee is done brb
hi Une! We just switched to Norton from McAFee.. so far, so good.. I do notice the computer slowing at times, but am happier without the constant popups reminding us to "protect our computer" .. McAfee was aggravating
back
wb jmc
Hmmm..if I knew how to find that out I could tell you Sprite. Their service is excellent too, even if it is from India!
yeah, I've heard about it's size from others -- may have slowed things a bit but it does a good job . . .
I have COMODO and I love it so far.
howdy, jmc :-)
my problem is that since i run a hotline i have to open emails that say "Urgent Please help" even if i suspect they are spam
and spritey! :-)
hey Une! :)
aaccckkk, I misused "its" -- the horror!!!
hi une
look away! look away!
*giggles* Yeah, that is a baddie, Une.
i have seen worse une
*gives une a bandaid*
virtual whiteout please!!
no no no now, no soft talk. It is a BADDIE. Tssssk.
sorry having been lectures last night on the difference between every day and everyday i have no feelings anymore
:-P
hi Une
hey, lynxxx :-)
*lectured
handsome dude that Rfa
uh, Rafa
indeed, bojazz! Sigh . . .
hehehe I like it. I learn things here every day. Either new things, or somebody points out I do something wrong. My english benefits enormously.
i thought that you could use the bandaid for it
jmc, we editors can't help being nutso about usage :-)
lol it usually makes me smile actually
one of the worst in the chog, tho, is "your" and "you're"
sets my teeth on edge :-)
it depends on my mood since i have had a life of my mother the english teacher and my oldest sister the pedantic and my nephew the OCD
how about - "where you at?" - drives me nutsoooo
i hate enthuse
I edit texts in dutch and english and usually I spot all those. But in english I am still not perfect ;)
i hate to even type it
the general rule of thumb in my family is that if I don't catch the error, my daughter WILL!
YES, bojazz!!!
my sister drives me nutso with "then" and "than" as well as your and you're..
enthuse was in the grid recently
i know sprite and I ranted about it
where and were, also a bad switch
good job jmc!
oh, sprite, that's WAY down the list! LOL
i tend to type you when i mean your
that is at the top of my list une
that and using loan as a verb
I've pulled clumps of hair out over " John and myself" ... "her and I" etc.
not to mention affect and effect
re loan, yes indeed, jmc!
YES, aloy!
oooh makes me grind my teeth when people think they are being smart by NOT using ME
*feels very very smug she knows all of those*
and it makes me crazy when the person obviously thinks I'm just being "picky"
i am often guilty with affect and effect so i usually avoid the words
feels so good to vent (-:
and it's rampant, jmc
well here's the thing une (and sprite and others) i am happy to vent about these things
I used to edit material for people who would come back with "well, maybe it's not PREFERRED usage" -- no, it's just WRONG
i even correct my staff about them because they ne4 to know what is correct if they are representing me and the center
very close Une, very close. Glad you weren't on a ra*****
ciao everyone bbl
ttfn, oodle
hi oodle and bye *waves*
tx, lynxxx, didn't have that one! :-)
ty lynxxx
and pt!
later, oodle :-)
thx lynxx
bye Oodle
but we all make mistakes in the chog and it is nice to lighten up and giggle about them not lecture
it always gives me a kick to discover how to speak/write correctly. I have this great book: How to perfect your english. And right at the beginning they say that most people will pronounce (or rather stress) 'perfect' incorrectly here ;)
oh but lecturing is sooo satisfying LOLOLOL!
*giggle*
my father had a great saying: "I don't talk so good looking, but I do the best I am"
i will remember that une *pulls out notebook and makes a note*
cute, aloy!
love it, Aloy
hey all, I dislike a lot of grammer things, and have come to realize that the younger set doesn't even know whats remotely correct!
and no, 'lecturing' isn't fun. But I really appreciate it if people point out my mistakes to me.
and I just made an error or two in that statement!
:-D
grammar?
hi red, and I agree. In dutch it is the same.
see! I said I made some errors!!!
what my son and staff tell me is that language is living and i am old fashion
syllabic emphasis in English is really really really hard
we almost have "grammar" in the grid.. it could be a phantom
But, I have a sparkly clean home, so, I can be erroneous!
red, we're all very jealous! LOL
lol! you cleaned more than the hose?
put me in the jealous column, too
I think there is a difference between changes in a living languages and incorrect usage or spelling or grammar
indeed, sprite!
not me i still haven't messed up my housekeeper's work this week
I've almost given up on the "make a noun a verb" trend -- it's gotten to be so prevalent
well i do too but the two things that irritate me the most -- enthuse and loan as a verb -- well the cow is out of the barn on them whether i like it or not
but it makes me cringe
whaaaaaaa, I want an "s" in this grid
but i will NOT let my staff use them in documents at the Center
so... I hope you will never hesitate to tell me where I am wrong! :)
i want "farm" in this grid
an 's' would be soooo nice . . . sigh
sprite you are so gracious
I want the H to be next to the T
awww thanks *blush* But I am serious!
*puts on her editor armbands and visor* okay!
:-D
do you think the visor is too much with the foil cap?
sounds itchy
Haz and Ata always do me that courtesy and I love it. Some corrections I even write down, so I can check when in doubt. English isn't easy in any way! (Well, not if you want to do things correctly)
but quite the fashion statement
i'd omit the visor
well i am used to the foil cap
i want to look serious *models*
I suggest wearing some insect horn thingies with that.
i like making nouns into verbs, although perhaps not the older words such as jmc mentioned. i like to google things and microwave things...
deely boppers, sprite?
ooo i love to google things
hi hursh
our marketing director used to make me nuts, tho, hursh, with "blue sky" and "popcorn" as verbs
let the games begin
love those deely boppers!
how do you use blue sky as a verb?
modern techie words are acceptable, then, that's our rule. :)
hey yo yo welcome back!
lol hursh
oh, google. Now that is a verb I use as well. Microwave isn't, because in dutch we say 'in de magnetron doen'
*takes off the visor and puts on bright red deely boppers over foil cap*
"Let's just blue sky it" -- meaning, let's look at all the options
sprite LOL
deely boppers? Nah not me. I am not so think as you dumb that I am.
really how interesting une
lol
do you run it up the flag pole and see who salutes too?
:-D
yes, i have heard that certain fields are more prone to bizarre jargon
lord don't get me started on the pacification of language by peaceniks!
good morning, general jbv reporting from the field of bizarre jargon - educationese!
i know a gal who worked somewhere with a lot of jargon. she said that instead of asking you if you had time to take on a certain task, they always asked if you had the bandwidth for it.
heard a new adjective this week . . . someone was describing a trendy new local Vietnamese restaurant -- "looks very West Elm" LOL
how about advertising & marketing people - got to be the most prolific
hi JBV and hurshy
and I hate "task" as a verb!!
hi JBV!
i have to work with people who refuse to use the te4 "bullets points"!
bojazz, definitely!
jmc, you're kidding!!! LOL
lol une
and hello yoyo
Une, as in multitasking?
used to work with Methodists who never sang "Onward Christian Soldiers"
no they call them "peace points" *runs to corner and throws up*
i'm sure you've heard the talking heads on tv use "demagogue" as a verb - he's been demagoguing on that subject, etc. etc. ugh!
no, sprite, as in "he was tasked with bringing the snacks to the coffee break"
LOL
peace point??!! LOL
and many of my friends wont sing it either une which just shows their ignorance about the early saints
ah ok, I see. So 'she is multitasking' would be ok?
that's ok, jmc, i kind of agree with them, when a word has a negative connotation you have many other options for synonyms
but for bullet points???
(I mean about bullet points, not the song - which of course is historical)
and the synonyms for bullet points is???
yeah, sprite, multitasking is such a commonly accepted word . . .
umm, thinking, let's get creative here....
you just made my point jbv
bandaids?
thanks Une
brainstorming?
And why not get our ducks in a row?
unnumbered lists
jmc, the thesaurus has no other word for it LOL
still thinking, but in the meantime, I have a reaction when schools say they are going to have a test "blitz" which means intensive practice before the test - I don't like the word blitz, not to mention the whole concept
lol hursh there' a useful te4!
peace points for bullet points? I am not sure I understand that.
jmc runs an anti-war non-profit organization, so...
there is nothing to understand they are just trying to come up with something clever and striking to get people to always aware of the use of violent te4s in our common language
if you start using a term enough, other people will catch on and start using it, so you can invent something - dot points, ball points, etc. ????
how about little heart symbols?
i have a friend who has a list of 50 words and phrases that are "violent"
oh now I get it, sorry to be so slow. They object so strongly to the word bullet that they refuse to use it in any way, even if the meaning isn't agressive.
ooh i know! at least this would be funny. emeril always says "BAM!", which is the sort of idea of bullet points, bam bam bam, so you could call them emeril points!!!
point markers
bo I kid you not -- people use little hearts in my world
lol hursh
how about in Vegas? no more "hit me" in blackjack? LOL
lol i like that one hursh
pacify me??
yes that is the main thing, jmc, awareness of the hidden meanings or connotations
the world is going bonkers
kiss me?
i completely supported abe pollin when he changed the name of the bullets to the wizards but some times we just get too carried away
i'd like another card, please, kind dealer.
depends on the dealer
In Vegas, Sprite? Now that could lead to WW3!!
interesting article on Global English: http://www.audiencedialogue.net/englis h.html
<3 sprite
yeah, for sure :D
thanks for that link!
are u always playing babble jmcnrick
sorry i have a head cold or i could come up with other things they do that would leave you all scratching your heads
lol no yoyo but I do keep long hours
entering a discussion of linguistic peeves with text speak... a bold choice.
same here, jmc, back when I edited for the Methodists
we're just tasking over grammar hurshy
lol bojazz
lol hursh it is part of the reason i type without punctuation and capitals mostly
ok, removing animals that say oink oink... not a valid word.
what did you edit une?
well, caps and punctuation don't ALWAYS add something necessary for the meaning.
everything from posters to books
ROLF i would never thought of removing oinking animals at all!!!
sometimes they do, and then it's important to use them.
too many commas can drive me bananas, actually
very cool the methodists have printed a couple of our books over the years
oh, don't get me started on commas! LOL
hoping to sweep through babble with the force of a divine wind today :P
jmc, was that the Board of Church and Society?
occasionally when i type in the chog i have to go back and retype it with puntuation
yes, jim winkler
I think they handled most of the social issues materials
take that sentence. though it ought to have punctuation, there's only one interpretation of "very cool the methodists have...."
yeah good luck with that ata...
hey Ata! Check today's theme, please :) And I just read Dream Hunter... do you think Acheron is Apostolos?
i get away with punctuation murder here
hi ata!
but sometimes the lack of punctuation causes chog chaos, and then i have to explain people to each other.
jmc, they wanted to get materials printed here in Nashville (much cheaper) . . . until they discovered there were no union shops
yes, he is, Sprite
hey, ata!
lol that is what they get for being pc!
cheaper and no union shops... hmmm... i wonder if there's a connection...
wow, I really like it, Ata. Puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
look for the union label when you are buying or wearing your clothes!
:-D ok, now I'm singing that song!
there once was a union maid who never was afraid of goons and geeks and company freaks and the supervisor who made the grade
lolllll
*is suddenly aware of her youth*
she went to the union hall when ever there was a call when the legion boys would come around she'd always stand her ground
sing on, jmc!
ooooooooo
you can't scare me i'm sticking to the union
good for you, hursh, still young and sweet and ready for everything!
i'm sticking to the union
i'm sticking to the union
one out of three ain't bad...
o you can't scare me i'm sticking to the union
ok, now listening to woody guthrie on Jango! LOL
sticking to the union til i DDDDIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!
yay jmc! You sing so well!
i've NEVER been ready for everything... or anything... i'm so risk averse and had generalized anxiety disorder...
*bows* thank you thank you thanks very much
there, I changed my icon to darling Ash
Brava, jmc!!
ohhh VERY cool mask. With his royal signet. Good choice, Ata.
hursh, I'm very risk averse as well . . . am so proud of my daughter who has worked hard to overcome it
sherri has that pic in her study :)
what can i say -- i am from a union family
see i am silly things adverse
i'm in a union now and i must say i'm rather fond of it.
Good morning Babblers
jmc, one of my daughter's best friends was a union organizer for many years -- man, that's a hard row to hoe . . .
i asked my sister to take the egg cartons to the farmers market cause i was too shy
hi scrabs!
hi scrabs
I sympathise completely, Hursh!
hi Scrabs
Happy Sunday, Scrabbler
workied for a company with union employees - they were getting stiffed by the union and didn't have a clue
hey, scrabs!
my husband and I met eachother while we worked for the union.
Yes, another snowshoeing/cross-country skiing day
hi scrabs
cool, spritey! :-)
scrabs, are things melting a bit up your way?
Yes, it has been 35-38 since Friday so the snow has compressed--made skiing tough yesterday--slick.
We need more snow stat
ours has gone *dances*
it's amazing how emotionally involved i get with the gilmore girls even watching reruns, where i know what happens. i had a dream last night about luke and lorelai eloping and avoiding all that heartache...
yay ata!
cool, ata
Never watched Gilmore Girls
aw hursh *hug* I have cried (as an adult) during Dumbo, the scene where his mum fights to get to him when he is taken away.
we've gone from recordbreaking cold to rain and 50s
who are the Gilmore Girls? If it is on cable, i haven't seen it, don't have cable
Ata, are you still using msn, if I may ask?
I cannot watch The Lion King again--when Scar kills Mufasa--heartache
it was a 7 season show on the WB/CW network... ended a few years ago
oh yes Scrabs, that hurts.
I started sobbing the other day on the highway when I passed a truckload of piglets headed for . . . .
Oh, no, Une....
ditto Scrabs - but particularly so because when it first came out, my father had died 3 weeks beforehand!
Aw, Ata, very tough for you!
a friend of mine is born and raised on a farm. I once told her enthusiastically about the sheep and lambs I had seen on my ride to her house. She said: 'If they are with their mums, they are for the slaughter.' I actually started crying.
bambi is the worst, i think, for crying, among the disney cartoons
oh Ata, that is tough
totally understand, sprite
I remember that hurshy.. first movie to make me sob
Black Beauty makes me cry too
'morning, babblers
((((Une))))
Hi welki
hiya welki
and yet chicken run which was suppose to make be oppose eating chicken made me long for a roast chicken
hi welki
and yes, sprite - I stopped really using it for ages, but I've just started to remember to log on again now :)
hi welki
hi welki!
okay got to go get ready for meeting
speaking of animated films, that whole segment at the beginning of "Up" was just heart-wrenching
Bye jm
later, jmc :-)
bye jmc!
bye, jmc.. taking a short break here, almost finished, gasp, pant..
aw I am glad, Ata. Would love to chat again sometime.
loading the heartache at the beginning must be the new trend... finding nemo is another case of that
bye for now then, Aloy
true, hursh!
i'll log on when i've got 2 hands free to type properly
70 to go . . . taking a break -- it's been great chatting with everyone! *poof*
lovely, Ata. We will happen upon eachother sometime then :)
*sometimes
bye Une, loved the chat with you
Bye Une
i have got the nicest miss mitty kitty in the whole wide world
i've got a silverclaw
Mittens, Hurshy?
mitten.
she has no paw markings. she is named mitten because it rhymes with kitten.
there's a great font called smitten kitten
i've got tosca, the cat from hell
poor tosca!
how good of you to save her from hell, welki.
LOL
put on this world to torture ... humans, dogs, other cats
what colour is she?
grey, smoke grey with a tiny bit of white on her chest
Haha, welki
still dirty from the fires of hell then?
hey, that's a nice way to put it! thanks! LOL
LOL
and how's your divine wind plan working out, ata?
yay! finally got that lone E!
I have 46 left lol
going strong, Ata
not bad, not bad atall
clue the lone E?
I was really only seeing if jmc would object to divine wind lol
em5/14 - to alter something to make it correct
OK, snowshoeing plans have been made--we are going to make a fire in the woods today, sit on a fallen tr4 trunk and relax. Weeeee!
fun fun!
There are so many fallen tr**s in the woods and yesterday we scouted out hideout spots--natural shelters.
wish I could be there, Scrabs
that sounds just soooo good
OK, I must make oatmeal and get dressed
I wish we could have a Babble convention here at my house--I have lots of room
Bye til later
if you build it, they will come
bye Scrabs
I wish I could fly to all babble conventions. Bye for now, Scrabs
I have to get this off my chest. elude. image.
know how you feel sprite
:)
I have to go for a while, have a date with my daughter to watch a dvd together. See you guys later. And thanks for the wonderful chat.
bye sprite - same here
greetings babblers. Anyone have a list that isn't in boxes?
hi and bye hootowl
i have a hint for everyone
hi hootowl
hi & bye sprite
just one? yoyo
hi bo
if you are de** you cannot hear
a be** can kill you
so can annoyed babblers with random 4 letter clues :P
be**s can make you fart
hello ata. I felt smug yesterday and thought of you.
no one has a list????????
welcome red
'morning owl, red
I dont think there is a list today, which is a bit difficult because except for the 4 letter words, the grid is a bit tricky.
morning
awwww ty red :) what were you feeling smug about?
House is sparkling. Very rare that all rooms look good at once.
all there is is arb's and it's in boxes and unusable for me. Where is BJ when you need him???
My mom arrives in 3 hours.
feeling neglected and unappreciated because everyone loooooves lickety, probably...
red, you don't drink alcohol, right?
I do not.
Hootowl, likely profiles to try might be BabbleRabble's or Uneaixoise's, but I don't know for sure.
nor i
<-- makes sure the cabinet is stocked when the mothers are expected.
I am looking forward to her visit though Welki, been trying to get her to come for 2 years.
My Mom is cool!
BRs is not accesible and Une was on earlier and never mentioned it.
i'll check -brb
i love them, but they make me crazy :)
except for the clean thing, but,I Lovethe clean home.
Haz! La Glitterina!
Une does not have a list...
Ata! La Hobbitella!
Hobbit is a happy girl. All the snow is gone and she can chase pheasants
b down
Poor pheasants.
Hi Gang. There are stats in Babbler's anonymous
they always win
nope - I think it's a conspiracy to get me off-line. No list and vioxx ads wherever I go. I'll try again later. Have fun evryone and bye
Yes, that's true.
cannot use boxes!!!!!!!!!1
owl, there is a list. Don't go away.
cannot use arbs list
need BJs!
Oh, sorry.
no problem - I'll try again later. bye
why can't you use boxes? just copy it into word and the boxes go away
Oh, well
bye hootowl
don't worry, hego. she requires the list in exactly the right style. other lists will not do!
Obviously
hi, hego .. love the icon :)
Hi Welki. They wanted goth today, so I gave them the American version. lol

great Peri
that one's been bugging ME all day :)
Oh! ;-)
I love edamame beans
Do you eat those Ata?
no! they are horrid lol
with some olive and garlic, mmm
Me neither
how about edamame hummus?
my mart is a cute curly uppy sort of a thing
so is my sily
we have such church issues ... sigh
church issues?
yes, it's very hard sometimes to find a church when you actually care
you're lucky you have a choice!
in america, it can be hard to find a church where the people actually really believe stuff that has a liturgical worship service, and that is the combo i want.
rather, you can find such churches, but everyone else in them has white hair.
you're still lucky youhave choice
well so do you :)
we're none of us living in oppressive regimes
not really. you pretty much take what you've given here
in a way that'd be easier!
if you're lucky there might be a protestant and a catholic church
for me it is more complex in that my uncle pastors a small church near here, of which half the congregation is my family.
that would be nice in some ways, but then, if you're having a really hard problem, you don't necessarily want to talk to your uncle about it... in some ways you don't feel like you can be as open, in general
you dont want to go there then
morning... not to barge in here, but hurshy could he recommend a colleague - presumably he'd understand that you need to talk to someone outside the family sometimes?
does anyone have the me 7/48?
but we've tried a bunch of other places and ... it's hard. one place has great people but the sermons are interminable.
me7 = large pea container?
thanks!
i think at this point my husband and i are both so ambivalent about attending any particular place that it's just hard to make ourselves go at all.
don't go then lol
at least you didn't have to put up with a mad alcoholic vicar who eventually got defrocked cos he was too mad
for me, it's also that i grew up going to church and having it make me miserable. i was very confused because i knew that i loved God but i didn't understand why i didn't like church. and i dreaded sundays. and then for awhile at the boarding school it was great, i could just go to chapel, and that was episcopal, and it was so peaceful. and now i'm afraid of going back to dreading sundays again.
big pod?
you don't *have* to go
that would be colorful, at any rate, ata :) lol
but we *want* to go... sort of...
wasn't colourful, it was awful
Yup Dorens, huge
couldn't you have got him defrocked sooner? aren't there... authorities you can approach about it?
morning everyone. {{Dorens}} large huge enormous :)
hi mom
'morning dorens, mom
and then we really didn't have a choice cos the nearest church away from him was about 8 miles away with no public transport nearby
HI Hego
Dorens, what cheerleaders use ...ME**phone
good morning Welki
You didn't ask, but I want to clue you anyway---what did Amy Winehouse say "NO NO NO" to?
ty all.. a bit slow here, finally got it
hooray, Dorens
waiting for the punchline
an elephant?
Is that Paul Lynde?
Yup, that's Paul!
ohhh, i think i got it
*feels stupid cause she hasn't spotted the de8 yet*
Are you waiting for my punchline? I can't give it- I'd get a penalty
What happens to lawyers when they screw up?
Kaplan until yesterday, I thought you were a man.
i'm very lucky as my local church has a good balance and lovely people. I'm much happier now I attend regularly
(got it .. after all, there weren't many possibilities; she's said 'yes' to most things *lol*)
Until yesterday, so did I
Just kidding.
LOL
phantom: termagant
kaplan I needed the clue thanks
Hi Kaplan and Katie
Maybe it was your big meltdown made me think that.
On playbabble I can be a man if I want to. It's fun.
And you always have a guy icon.
did kaplan have a meltdown?
My big meltdown made you think I was a man? That's refreshing> You didn't just think- "Oh, hysteria"
I had a Lucy icon but no one commented.
what did I miss??!!
Guys meltdown faster, I think.
Guys just bomb things.
Someone had a meltdown and I missed it? And with it the chance to practise my diplomatic skills?
I didn't see Lucy.
Hi Haz
they te4 to on babble
Lucy was up for a few days. I switched yesterday.
I saw Lucy :)
Hello, Mom.
thanks Ata, didn't have that one
Oh, yes, Kaplan had the most magnificent Babble meltdown ever.
It was Vitameatavegamin Lucy.
phantom: epigram
I don't know. We've had some contenders for the title. We need impartial judges.
love that episode
The biggest EVER? And I'm just a new kid!
Couldn't get the last two words and the clues were just confusing. It was great!
memememe
I still think Mikey won
..and tasty too!
MIkey's was epic.
Conducted in two languages.
for an actual on-chat-log-meltdown
OOoo I like that Lucy.
missed Mikey's
with added jetes
"Do you poop out at parties? Are you unpoopular?"
Well Kap made up her own language during her's.
And plies and ****ja***.
You got it Kap.
oh gosh my ballet vocab runs out at words with ja in them
Ah, ballet moves.
"Everything you need is in this bittle lottle."
The *ja* indicated his Germanic side.
oh ja. Deutschland uber alles!
*wields silver cross at mention of Mi5'sname*
it was brlliant, that Lucy segment.
TO! I knew you'd love to remember.
{{TO}} good morning .... what happened with your heat yesterday? Is it resolved
I don't remember MIkey at all
heat is fine ty
would love to hear about that meltdown.
All of the I love Lucy's had brilliance
Hi Ruru
good morning everyone....
I am so glad, looked for you last night to check
hi ruru
please stop saying his name, he has friends here still. may decide to show up
where's hurshy? she normally pipes up at Mikey mentions
I don't think I could trust myself to recount the meltdown. But it was amazing. That's why we queried Kaplan's claim to the biggest meltdown in babble history claim.
he's probably plotting with JC as we speak
did not hear kap's, kap wat were you ranting about?
LOLOLOLOL
I didn't claim the biggest meltdown. SOmeone else attributed it to me. I'm not that narcissistic.
I freely admit that more than a few grids have sent me over the dge.
well, it was for me, but I''ve only been here four months.
pardon me b and h are intermittent
edge
I was freaking out because I had two or three words left and I wasn't getting clues to the ones I needed
Fair enough, Kaplan. This happened easily a couple of years ago. Or more?
Only four months? Like me?
a good while ago
I have been here since November. Don't age me prematurely.
Yes Kaplan, I came in Sept.
Who has been here for years, and how did you survive?
If anyone has the lone R in the last column, may Ihave a clue please?
Haz keeps us lifers all sane
One who regrets, Mom.
ru4...one who regrets
a person who r's the day
ty Haz
woo hoo, thanks Haz
we share the same delusional system kap
thx
Hey Bo
No problem. I don't want any meltdowns from words not being clued.
lol
hi Haz, hego, ruru
:)
& TO
hi bo
Hello, bojazz.
hi Bojazz
meltdowns much earlier this morning over grammar and proper use thereof
em8 anyone?
hello bojazz
hi Mom
this is really a psychosocial experiment
et tu yoyo
clue for ag7?
em8 - make a past tense of the em5/16 before it.
space bar also wonky
a plus something you play, ending in two thirds of English beverage.
ty Haz
You're welcome.
space bar & me have something in common :)
* My wife went to the West Indies for her holidays. * Jamaica? * No, she wanted to go.
Wow, that one was wonky. ty Haz
thank you !
bada boom!
You're welcome.
lol BabbleRabble and good morning
haha
timetogo
Hello, folks
i am so pathetic at this grid.
Bye TO, take care.
bye TO for now
bye TO
bye TO
morning peeps. lively chat today!
hey, GE
good morning Good enough
hmm em 5/16... off to look
Good morning, Good Enough
thanks for the ag clue Haz
i still only have the two 8's i clued earlier
good enough morning
Which were what? I have the other 8s.
i have di8 and ra8
of course you do
ra 8/65 past tense of the ra 7/44 me 8/65 di 8/50
de 8 too hurs
those are the only ones I have
he8/50
I love when you first sit down with a grid and you can rattle off 50 or so words.....
i have seen mention of de8 but have pathetically failed to locate it
then that stops but now you know the patterns and you dig deeper and get some more....
de plus the word that keeps you out of mischief in places that sell alcohol.
de-pubbed
de; di; em; he; me; ra; re
It's the same as the em8.
de + what happens to lawyers
de 8 happens to lawyers when they get caught being criminals
ahhhh see how pathetic i am??? thanks!!!!!
I woould love clues on the me8 or di 8
then you hit the wall and struggle to get half so you can justify going to lickety (OK self imposed rules).....
thanks for the de clue
found re8
thx ruru
di8 is a word from geometry
di is a circle measurement
me8 adds a vowel to the me7/40 (at the end)
oh ty clues!
me7/36... me 7/48... ok, gotta find me7/40
me7/48 it is - sorry for the typo!
oh.. i don't have a me 7/40 yet
HALT THE SEARCH FOR ME7/40. It's a typo.
np i thought i would try that just in case and voila!
Hey Haz, if we had the 7's we could get the 8.
i think marty is on a ra7
di8 - di + a +me5
fm,why did you make haz do that?
Sorry, me7 - clued earler as being a huge pea container.
7s: ag; am; am; di; ep; me; me; ra;
ok... he and re... *looks*
is the di7 related to the di8?
ty Lady Haz. ;-)
he8 builds up in a latin plural kind of way from the he4 (start of the man who wants to be alone)
oh...
di7 - di plus a kind of ray used in medical treatment.
thank you
hi all and thanks haz.. need clues like that
You're welcome.
Hi Dorens
thanks for the di 7 clue
ruru... we have found a place .. in sonoma, not napa... 7 bedrooms, 7 baths. pool and looks amazing. sobrevista..
Whoa, a mansion!!
let's see... can't end with ata...
what town in Sonoma?
don't know yet... just found out it's available last week in august which we need.. waiting for more info.. .meanwhile they do have a website..check it out
oh yes hego, it is totally a mansion
The latin plural comes early in that he8 word and it ends up kind of descriptive, hurshy.
I love Sonoma
vacation?
I will check it out
yes. my kids have agreed we can go to wine country this year instead of martha's vineyard. i've been to napa couple times, never sonoma. but it's close
Got it Haz, ty
-age?
nice
Glad to help, hego.
-oid?
probably in Glen Ellen
no hurshy
thanks ru. and please be around then. i'd love to meet up with you for a cup of coffee or glass of wine
Can't seem to get the he 8 either..
you bet
well there's no -ic or -ish
i've managed a 6 with the latin plural.. that's about it
bottom left 2, Hurshy
im going to get breakfast. bye!
add one of the articles, Dorens
he8 - female possessive, Miss West of lifejacket fame, first two letters of the Wild West Heroine who was told to get her gun.
cool thanks haz
you'll love it doren
bye bye Yoyo
aHA
oh I got it
and also thanks br.. didn't see that first
that was hard!

Lots of nice restaurants in Sonoma
Fabulous clue, Haz - thanks
Bye hego.
bye Hego
i hope the re8 isn't that weird
You're welcome, helens.
not if you are into steel hursh
re8 - got the old players back together again.
ata can you block fb so you do anot see someone'sposts without unfirending them?
wow! thx haz
oh bother, i was going to try that and thought it didn't connect!
You're welcome, bojazz.
yes, TO, if you click "HIDE" on one of their posts it will give you the chance to hide them all
ty!
(the Hide button shows up in the upper right corner of the posts when you mouse over it)
yep like smurshy said
ok, 8's out of the way, now for those 7's... ag, one of the am, and ep
ty.
and to unfriend?
somebody posts too much, i take it
to unfriend go to your list of all your friends and X the ones you don't want
well i don't game
Okay, time I was having a look at the papers. Have a good day, everyone!
damn
you too haz!
bye haz
bye haz.. thank you for the clues
bye de4!
my poor grandpa thought he hadn't correctly added us because all he could see were my sister's posts - but that's only cause she posts so much!
Will do!
bye Haz
*gone*
No Lickety today? I kept hitting refresh...
someone said earlier it is not up today
apparently it isn't
so now i know i can block games without blocking the person's other posts/TY!
That sucks- I have 81 left and am at the point where I would usually start looking for 4 letter words I missed...
yep, that's definitely a key thing to do, TO!
i want to block getting emails every time anyone posts on my friends' pages... seems silly
no lickety?? and i was almost halfway....
clues on BabAnon
good luck good enough.. i am slogging through this and wanted to finish quickly today
ahed
you can adjust that in your settings, email notifications, dorens.
oh ty
Sorry
i know i can hursh.. and when i checked i thought that i had done it... will have to look into it more carefully when i am not in a rush .. as i am today. really wanted to finish this grid before 11:30... much to do today
you can set it to see only friends not friends of friends
is it warm there today/
warmer... but still long sleeves

I copied from BabAnon
Pooh, overnight the gremlins that inhabit my laptop ate everything - no pictures, no links to favorites, even my screensaver ... and to add insult to injury, AOL tried to horn in, and wouldn't let me sign-on to earthlink -- grrrr
that sucks, Christine
ouch, sounds like you need a gremlin eater, Christine
clue please for the lower U
found in urine, geek
pee science
I know I can reconstruct everything exept for the background (not screensaver) which had disappeared from DDs pictures when they had their 'puter overhauled. It's more annoying than anything.
bird urine thanks ru
What a wimp, to whine about this when almost anyone has worse things in their lives. If this is the worst that happaens to me, today, I'm blessed all right.
Christine, do you use internet explorer? (hey all)
ma 5/18 anyone?
hey ruru. how's the grid today?
Tes, I do, but I'm computer illiterate.
a little rough stid.. not awful though
lots of latin endings
okay ruru, I'll use it on my breaks then.
Never mind, I 'll go find my favourite blogs. Bye all.
oooh, I come back from Phantom of the Opera and there's a Christine in!
NB How're ya doin'
I need help on four words please.
am 5/16?
Really good thanks, Christine :D I love that show. Can't stop singing to myself now!
cannot help ruru sorry i am just starting
that's okay Christine, was just wondering if there is a "restore original settings" switch that might have originally been used. To avoid loss of bookmarks and such on my browser I use a service that automatically backs things up to a web storage place... same with the regular files on my computer so I don't lose data.
How are you? (and how is everyone else for that matter?)
hello Nancy Boy, were you the Phantom or the Opera? *wicked mama look* and how is poor Leo's head?
Stid, I'm ALWAYS the phantom ;) what a great show it is, though! Leo is wonderful thanks, his head is all better...he did try milking it for a while though :)
I didn't mean to write "originally" there, I mean "accidentally" *sigh* I was up VERY late and couldn't manage to sleep in.
good. glad he's okay, and glad you had a good time.
Stidmama - I saw that, and nothing happened. Actually, there's really nothing that can't be found, I'm just whining. So I'll try again, later.
hi stiddy, how are you?
thank you :) although, I always want Christine to go with the phantom at the end. Raoul's borrring.
hey peri. tired, but okay.
am5/16 freshwater parasite - straight forward spelling
how are you peri?
hey thre Nancy Boy
stid. I am making pumpkin bread!!
Hi, Peri! :)
thanks fo the parasite ursh!
I saw the show a couple of times, and I'm sur he was calling ME!!
thank you
mmmm. I'll be there soon peri -- shall I bring some spiced tea to go with it?

ty :)
I love pita bread too, can't eat it though! If you owned trousers as tight as I did, you'd shy away from carbohydrates too ;)
Hi fellow babblers! How is our grid today?
I only eat them if I'm going to the gym later...and that's definitely not happening today ;)
I live in an area of Hollywood with lots of Armenians, and lots of Armenian bakeries. The pitas were still hot when I got them, on Friday.
doable, but taking a looong time, beachboggle
I needed the one you gave sprite so thanks ..
hi beach, I am finding it slow
Tight trousers, boyo? try being 73 and allergic to all exercise
oh christine, my mouth is watering
Hello everyone! Lively conversation today.
yvw torg
hi Brookie
Soho nightlife turns out to be a tight trousers competition, pretty much. And I'm no loser :D
Y'all come on over - neighbor gave me avocados and tomatoes
christine, you live not far from my son.. Pac. Palisades
Hi sprite!
in high demand, Nancy Boy? Good for you!
you have me drooling now, Christine
Well, not too far
LOL, thank you Sprite! if only my dad was as proud, hm :)
in miami there was a lebanese bakery that made them fresh every day
Sadly, the ancient avocado tree in their front yard bit the dust this year
your dad is missing out on so much. *hug*
I live not too far from your son....Topanga. Grew up in the Palisades. ;)
who likes avocado sandwiches?
hello Minkie
I love anything with avocado!
oh sprite, thank you :) *Hugs*
hi MINKIE.. lovely area
New goats arrive next weekend after the rains
Hi Sprite....and all
We're expecting FIVE days of rain and after the fires, there's nothing to hold the earthdown.They call it hydrophobic - the water just runs off the ground, which is still greasy from the fires.
Hi Minkie.
hey Brookie....I am sooooosooo not looking forward to this much rain
five days of rain? wow, that is really unusual for that area
five days of rain, Christine? biblical..
It could be disastrous ..
I lived in Woodland Hills, CA for a couple years. The area's infrastructure isn't designed to accomodate much rain.
I live on a mountaintop. The roads around here are unstable and flood
that's scary minkie and christine
it really sounds bad. I hope you will all be all right.
keeping fingers crossed
good night everybody; I give up with 93 to go
they are expecting 11"+. I am with the Red Cross and will be on call for evacuations for the week. Hoping it is less than expected.
where do you live minkie?
Topanga Canyon in California ruru
good night rubyfoo
nite, sprite!
Is there a danger of mudslides, Minkie?
see you next time, rubyfoo.. sweet dreams
aw ruru, another sweet pic
Yes. Big danger. Especially after all of the huge fires of the last two years.
Will you be safe? That is really scary
fireworks.. think I'll go call my son. Thanks for the info Minkie.. sending good vibes your way, hope all will be well. Anywone need a clue before I go?
not for me yet, but thanks Aloy. *hug* for you.
I should be fine, although with huge rains, I have had small slides on my road. Bye Aloysius.

really?
it was a fabulous match :-)
are you watching it on ESPN2?
thought something was strange about that - them playing this early in the Open
yes
yep :-)
ok - going back to football
think I watched it at like 2:00 in the morning last year LOL
they do put on a great contest
true titans
(at least before Rafa started having so many physical probs)
if he stays healthy this year, i think Rafa rules - Roger has no more "hills to climb"
sure hope he can be strong this year -- last year was so disappointing
his edge not as sharp as before - but Rafa is a monster when he's on
looking forward to seeing his new website -- they've been redesigning it for a couple of weeks now
oh, i know -- he's terrific!!
bo, go to www.tennis.com and click on TV listings -- you'll be able to see the live (and repeat) broadcast schedule
huh, tu 6 was a new one for me.
serving dish for soup and stew
i've hear of it but didn't see it today so ty
kari, you must be young/youngish, eh? :-)
my pumpkin bread is done, it is good but a little too dry. I used an electric oven which I am not used to
oh no. is it that apparent?
peri, my daughter is queen of pumpkin bread -- that's what she gave everyone for Xmas this year :-)
i am youngish. i would have referred to tu 6 as a bowl probably
kari, just assumed . . . if you weren't familiar with a soup tu****
but not anymore!

I really kinda need Lickety
don't despair... you can do it jay!
don't think so, actually.
I have 60 left but have no roadmap
maped
OOps
I'm using ARB's list in babanon, and took 15 minutes to set it up to look as much like lickety as possible :)
Oy. Too complicated.
gade
Sorry!
BJ's list is there too
not complicated... use excel and it's simple... tedious, but worth it
BJ's list wouldn't go into excel nicely though, so I used ARBs
just pastew bj's into excell
Can you get either of them to take the words you have already and put them in a grid? I have 147 words- a shame to waste them!
then paste what you have found
you can paste the words you have from babble into excel, right alongside the words from the babanon list
then you just have to go through and shift your found words down every time you see they don't match
that's what takes 15 minutes
Missing an me 5/15 and an me 4/6
5/14 I meant
and works till you have 3 of the same variety adn you dont know which one your word is!
me4.6 like going out for a good fe**

jayk, where in atl are you? i used to live there and also athens
Ata--I had a friend whose cat got into the dryer just after she opened it to see if the cothes were dry yet, which they weren't, so she turned it on again. Only the odd thumping noise saved the animal!
okay, if i bring my knives, the kitchenaid and cuisinart, can we put the stove in your kitchen and we can trade houses a couple times each year?
Pippin--just north of buckhead

Hello all! We have started to vacation!
congrats Red
Yes, it has been an adventure.
but I still want to finish off the grid.
minver, thanks for posting the list on your profile...:)
i've never done a grid without lickety, does this happen very ofte?
eften
often, jeez!
don't know but it is down today!
and if we can have ridiculous compound words like eyestone, why can't the dictionary accept apeman?
great???
two columns gray and 29 left, this is a tough grid
Good question pippingeek. I agree. I tried that also.
oodleberry, if you're still here, I'm not done with the grid, but can clue what I have so far.I got 115 words
Lickety has a life beyond Babble, hard as that is to believe. Especially on weekends or holidays, sometimes he cannot generate the clues.
I'm also watching Golden Globe Red Carpet special,so I'm in and out of here,sorry for my delayed response.
I got a list in my profile if anybody needs to use a list
i'm not mad at lickety, i get having a life, we just get so used to it and it's nice to have a sense of how common this is
ad?
Hello kje! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
hi minver... doing OK
That ad 5/14 word is a plus that de 4/6 word kje.
okey doke ... i'm done for the day .. see ya

yayay tor
and pippingeek ... should go make some dinner
yay tor!
ag7?
a + ga6
pippen: This happens from time to time. I can't give you an acurate percentage. If you look on BabbleAnon you probably could get an idea from how many lists have been posted there.
ty
50 to go - ouch
19 here
di7? the one that pops to mind is dipshit cuz that is what weed sometimes calls me... but that is not in here
Sort of glad there is no list.I do not feel compelled to finish & I can watch the Golden Globe Awards tonight
LOL kje!
kje, try the midsection of a circle
she just says, way to go di7... on my FB page, then only the babblers know she is abusing me ; )
oh wait, that's the 8, never mind
btw where has weed been?
on FB, TO
she plays lots of games over there, only does the grid now occasionally
gean
eek, sorry
What does FaceBook mean when it says somebody is tagged in a photo on FaceBook?Still learning about FB
Just reverse the vowels and you have a ga 4/6 word.
OK, it is di + ga5 (like a greek letter)
it means there is a picture of them someone has labeled with their name
Minveryork, do NOT open it unless you are absolutely sure.
That's how I ruined my computer w/trojan viruses, etc. It was awful.
ty min
Even if you know the person, they may not know they're being used.
yay, finished g's!
ep7?
I hear the g's are heinous... congrats min!
kje - it's e + sty animal + D*** martin
ty - figured it started with that prefix but couldn't see it
last ge6?
who would have thought the re words would be among the easiest?
Sex?
That's the clue for kje...not a general shout-out.
start with the greek letter, make it past tense for one ga6 and one who does it for the other
lol
yes please, jan
my sex vocabulary must be limited... who knew!
any other clue besides sex?
OK...the grammatical term used to refer to masculine, feminine and neuter words.
oh sheesh
what a fish!
ty
Well, at least we got a joke out of it.
oh poop, kje, i swear i was cluing for the ga6 i thought you sked for!
no prob
i figured that out
This one is becoming a grind--I'm stuck at 11 and I may stay stuck. GOt to head to the gorcery store for vittles.
the te words have me pulling my hair out. break time
see ya later TO... I will likely still be here plodding along
missing an he6
have pt x 2 and the one the 8 is based on
both are similar, just change last vowel, to
also he5
remove a vowel from the 6
like a single french designer
he 5 = girl + opposite of pa
then just add a vowel for he 6
ty km but i do have that 6
oh and the other he 6
clue for the he8?
add an indefinite article to the he6
ty
back to the terrible Ts
the one before it?
i don't have the last he6 either
both he 6's add a vowel to he5
he6 at
he6 on
cute new pic ru! favorite yet
ty, finished the h's (yay!)

yayayay! what a heinous grid to do without lickety!

YAYAYYAYAYY WOOOOO HOOOOO YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYYA
whoo hoo kje!
(I got excited ...sorry)
Congratulations kje on your fireworks! Good for you!
curtsies... thanks
kje i love that film! i have julie brown's 12" ep with all the songs
*hands ru a valium*
sorry i mean jmc
what film? huh? did i miss something?
wtf kje !!! ~~~ !!!
LOL jmc... I was going to hand him something else...
ack, i me*** WTG
earth girls are easy one of jim carrey and jeff goldbum's first films
jmc was talking about "earth girls are easy"
I'm sure Earth Girls are Easy is one that Carrey does not want to have on his resume. I do not care for it.
jim carrey doesn't have to worry about his resume 8-)
never heard of it
really? i love it!
oh it's so much deeper and better than the cheesy b fluff movie it purports to be
Earth Girls are easy sounds like a porn film
yep
and how can you not love geena davis!
well it is a little risque but not so bad -- i gave it to my son when he was like 18
Loved Geena davis ONLY in THelma and Louise
maybe younger
you gave your son some valium?
it is suppose to sound like a porn film
hahaha ruru
not really a carey fan
Carrey did a few films at the befinning of his career that I am sure many haven't heard.He did a tv movie on Lifetime called "Time on Maple Drive", was a drama
me neither
baby barbituates
he is a real mixed bag imho
Although those "Ace Ventures" were so important to film history that they needed to make more of them.
ventura .. I think
man ru... that pic really is too cute... i want a puppy now
.... he is cute and very sweet... just like me...
Didn't care for the Ventura movies either. Not a big Carrey fan also. Only Carrey movie I like is Liar Liar.
cough cough cough

I am giving up with 2005 points. Now will try to think of a story of clues with the words that I have so far.
They seem to pick the playoffs to play their worst games ..
so true it was a joy to behold
did you hear what the raven's coach said?
really with San Diego it was just two turnovers and a dumb onside kick
huh. been doing really well and the m's are stumping me something awful
no what?
"it's true that they did not play their best against THIS team and THIS game" like it was a total fluke!
look out jmc!!
and they were romped
*ducks* what? what? *pulls foil cap on tightly*
I think Indianapolis is the te4 to beat in the league..they are surely heading for the super bowl

hello all. about to dive into serious "grad student panic mode" to get friday's readings done and a set of essay questions for Wednesday started....
hi stiddie
I am well, thanks joey. that's me in the icon, last night after being at a debate meet for 12 hours.
what are you reading stid?
hi stid, hi joey
you look wiped. about how i feel these last few weeks. one more to go and then i am DONE!
today, it's a book (I despise the title) called "Literacy with an Attitude: Educating Working-class Children in their own Best Interest" It sounds so.... stuck up.
hang in there, Joey!
gack!
yep. I was pretty tired! LOL very glad you have only one more to go. This has been so very hard on you.
that is such an elitist title!
16 left! I wouldn't have started this if I'd seen that lickety was down
sounds very elitist, yes, like how could they possibly know what's in their own best interest
hang in there joey
the book DOES make some good points (elitist is the word I was searching for, thanks jmc)
go harry go
hi HH! oooh love your icon!
it sems that way to me, but comparatively i have probably sailed through
someone mentioned you would have been into my phd stuff, i was in social foundatinos of education
ty lbd :)
and the author actually grew up as "one of those kids" but I still think the title -- and part of the premise (that educators haven't been there) sux
hey harry~!
saguaros
hey stid
i grew up in a working class family and never found the educators much help
8 m words to go
did that work harry?
the m's are killing me, i can't make headway!
I grew up poor and black...
very cool pippin -- your profile says you are going in another direction though... (-probably a good idea)
? jmc?
ruru! only 5 more days till puppy time/!!!!!!
lol ru so watermelon man in reverse
yes.. can't wait... yippiee
ideally i want to find work as a personal assistant/research assistant for a writer or similar
saguaros, harry
we'll see if it happens -- in any case nyc is a much better place to be than here
that would be a terrific job, pippin -- you could use all those grad student skills and actually get paid money maybe!
that would be fun pip
:) jmc
Hi stidmama!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
saguaros always work
my niece is in grad school in nyc right now
I like my master's program's emphasis on reaching out to people traditionally underserved, I just wish they didn't assume we have (none of us) prior knowledge. I for one know EXACTLY how hard it is to decide between rent and food.
about your chronological measure
hello Min! so nice to see you today!
Hello HarryHood! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
back for more, hi again
sigh. 17 left. do i keep trying or just go to a2z and find the words there?
hey gwen! how are you doing? I never get to see you these days
Using a list helps, pip ..
i use more words myself when completely backed against the wall
hiya stid, wazaap?
Hello Book Doctor Gwen! Welcome back to the puzzle
hey tor!
Heyas kids ..
I am babbling and watching HGTV (love those shows, will never have a home like that though!)
been trying very hard to get past having to finish with a2z, but this has some hard stuff!
i find a2z quite helpful at times . . .
So how about the ag7?
ag 7 uses a ga6
ag + vowel + me4
thanks for that one pippin
ty pippen
10!
go harry go!!!!!
go harry go
15 and stalling faster

ooh,i forgot about the chog. good next step
Ah 4/6! With such a big grid and no Lickety today, I de4/6 it neccessary to do a story of clues.I woke up this morning with an ag 6/27 which was to clean my house.Unforunately I don't have a ma4/6 to do it for me.I had a house cleaner who was pa4/6 to clean my house, but then I let her go. Also, my ma4/6 stopped cleaning for me since I have ag 4/7.Told myself I was ba 6/27 from babbling until after I cleaned the house Usually when de 4/5 husband goes on a ra7/44 about the lack of cleaning I do, it falls on de4/8 ears & I te 4/5 to ignore him. But it's tr 4/5, I do not clean the house enough.But today, nothing could de 5/12 from cleaning and lu 4/5 me to babble. I knew it had to be done. After cleaning,I was immediately lu5/14 to the ga 4/7 of babble and I sat ag 5/16 to see a he 4/6 of words with no list.Felt like a do 4/6 not being able to finish grid without a list,but I ha6/27ed away at the grid anyway. Well my de4/5 Babble friends that's the end of my story of clues. Hope you were able to find a he4/6 words from this.Now off to watch the Globes

(and dinner's calling...brb)
yay pippin!
man, that was a had one, especially without lickety
I still have 14 to go
clues for you?
I have 5 left, been working on it for hours
I will probably just open aba anon, or go to bed work tomorrow. But thanks!
DPMMH (55678 in some order)
the h 8 is a toughie, clue for you?
yeah, missing h8
but let me think for a couple minutes, okay?
it builds on the 5/14 and 6/24 before it
Half done and I'm only just now getting the rhythm of the grid ... good grief! I'm not going to finish, I know that.
it extends the he6?
(or one of them)
yes, it is alphabetically between them
between the two he6/24's that is
i'm new here. how do i find how many 5/14 and 6/24
normally you would go to lickety's clues
There's a list. Go to Babbler's Anonymous link below the grid.
but today it is not there, so the stats are posted on babblers anonymous
weird, never seen that one before - did you find it unclued?
no, i totally got clued, i've never seen it either
Thank you
I was trying haem- stuff since there are plenty (like haemoid), but the only way to go from there would be haema- which is a dead end
sometimes just knowing whre to look is all you need
yeah
I'm not finding the he 8 and 6 at the end of the he list
that's why i get so dependent on lickety, because it automatically puts my words in order so i know what to look at (and what not to)
did you find the 2nd to last he6?
for the Ds I have: 4, 4, 4, 5, 8, 4, 4, 4, 6, 4, 6, 4, 5,5 , 8, 4, 4 - which one am I missing?
yeah, knowing just where it fits in alpha order is a big help - but I'm trying to not use lickety anymore
there's a 7 after the last 8
cool, ty
No wonder, what a word! Never heard of it before.
di + ga6 no go, unfortunately
Now it's just the final he 6 that I need and I can put that tile to bed.
after getting a + ga6, I was hopeful for more prefixes
mudd, it's still related to the 2 before it
you're on the right track grem, just the wrong g
the wrong ga even
feminine possessive: he* + come up and see me some time west + indefinite article for the he 8
No, I believe it is the 6 before the 8.
still related, mudd
Ah, a Latin ending.
6/24, 8/50, 6/24 all variants on the original 5/14
feminine possessive :he* + a domestic: ***d
that last one is the he 6/ 24 after the he 8
so the di7 is dig+ something?
ok - back
hi BR!!!
assuming it is di and not do (could be, I suppose)
yes, grem
think greek
he 6 before the he 8 -- feminine possessive :he* + come up and see me sometime West
oh - another new one
di8 = part of circle measurement
Hello, Pini
one more hint please? Missing two Ms - I have 444445644756447846445556
i hope i'm not being too obvious with my clues, you seem to prefer a more hands-off approach
then I'm just missing a P of length 5 or 6
I like subtle, yeah
the p is a plural
ma 4/6; ma 6/24; ma 4/7 at the beginning
I have a plural P
okay, you have the po?
yeah
do you have the past tense?
have the ma 6/24
P: 5454445
fireworks! finally!
one is a past tense
wtg bethn!
I can help clue for a few before i go
there is an me 5/14 after me 8.65
okay grem - looks like one of the m's you're missing is a 5 - alternate spelling of the initial ma6
can you see which P I am missing?
it's either an ancient religion or a praiseful song
for the p's i mean
thanks, got the P
hi BR how are you?
the ma6 you are referring to means "imperfect", or am I missing another ma6 as well?
congrats, bethn!
the initial ma6 is also greek - mad woman
Doing fine, bethn, thanks for asking hope you are too
got it!
just knowing it's greek, it must have those weird vowel combos, heh
fireworks! tyvm, pippin
congrats!
yup, just waiting for spring, enough with the snow and ice etc.
you're normally a speed demon
haha, 4 of the ones I was missing were Greek, plus I was stuck on my last one as "satyr" a few days ago
yeah, sure glad I wasted my time finding the missing m's for upi
I was trying to do this one without even viewing the chat, but couldn't quite finish it off despite getting most of the hard ones
I am off to bed to read for a bit. See you all in the grid tomorrow
be well, bethn
night bethn
hello, she said glumly
and yesterday it was "coteau" - it's either the Greek ones or the ones with uncommon vowel combinations (often both together)
hey jilli
that one i had to look up too
i'm new enough that i still use a2z, but with increasing guilt every day
gremlin, if you had loved in Quebec you would have recognised the town of Coteau du Lac
oh, I knew the word
what if you haven't loved in quebec but have liked there?
but yeah, maybe if it were in my head more often
pippin, don't feel guilty -- I prefer morewords, meself, lol
a2z is like morewords.com?
I mean lived (but loved will do) ;)
i haven't ever looked at morewords, is it easier to use?
I find morewords easier to use.
a2z is just a straight list of every work, organized by number of letters
I'll check it out
word, not work
it's where i go when i get stuck, just give myself an alpha parameter and start scanning
Have you finished, Pini?
I've seen a2z
sadly, no :(
anyway, I have 27 to go and can't be bothered
How many?
68 more to go
want clues or just worn out by it?
well, this one might be the toughest board since I came here (over a week ago)
68 is a piece of cake if you stop lollygagging around
oh, I might ask for a few clues and then go back to morewords
I'm open to clues...not sure what I need; haven't listed
oh you, shush! * giggle *
hehehehe
the lack of s is really a kicker
see, I just went to morewords and entered ia-- in "search" and wow, only one word came up!
the only difficult ones were the ones I couldn't find
ya think, BR?? LOL
babrab is full of pearls of wisdom :)
so gremlinn do you still get tile stats on the board, or did you go pro?
and then some! :)
but then, they were a lot easier to find once I found them
I didn't go pro - it hides tile stats?
* rolling eyes *
after 2 weeks they go away unless you go pro
oh, okay
once you've been here 2 weeks, gremlin, the tile stats go away unless you go pro
pippin, yoou can see that gremlin didn't go pro -- no icon, no flag, etc.
oops ... sorry
I guess I'll have to improve a bit, somewhat soon
it's a 1-time fee, totally worth it imo
or I could use lickety again
* oops * distracted for a nanosec * diving back into grid *
maybe
If I am looking for s words I always start with words that start with s
* thump * br...you nut!
watching 60 minutes, btw (delayed because of football or something)
seemed like a good plan to me
there, am I set now?
looking for D's, have: de 4 4 4 5 8 4 4 4 6 6 4 5 5 di 8 do 4
no, still no flag
cbs is terrible about football delays
Pin: de4 between the two 6s
you can choose not to display a flag
grem beat me to it
and di7 just after di8 (think Greek)
thx gremlinn
there is a de 4 between the de 6s
<--only other language I know is ADL
go back to yr profile and tell it to display info
er ... ASL
i was wondering what adl was!
american dork language?
gremlin went pro?
last di is 7/48 -- add a sorority, alpha ***** phi
okay, I just had to fill out a profile
* snicker *
yay gremlinn, welcome!
or sort of like explorer vasco de
danke br :)
ah, there you are, gremlinn!!! Now all you need is an icon :)
thanks, just need a picture now, I guess
if you want to totally dork out like me you can do a picture that follows the icon theme of the day
I'm always saying what someone's just told me, moments too late!
(today is goth, which is why jilli and i are so dark)
to find out the theme of the day, see sprite's profile at http://tinyurl.com/6z7unz
I am doing anorexic
well on the chog without my glasses you look like a dale, oddly
dalek, that is
what's the optimal size for icons (or does it auto-resize them?)
i have no idea, grem
I guess I'll just try one
it will resize most
but that reminds me, i have to get my pet photo ready for the flip!
have i mentioned my cat's brother (rip) weighed 33 pounds?
Pini? Did you fall asleep?
not yet...
how many?
all the way down to 63 now!
*oy*
gremlin, there is no auto-resizing, so plz don't use huge images -- it makes the chog all jerky
I'm checking only 32 x 32
how's this?
e-mail size is good -- but see my profile (scroll down) for a resizing site
2 more E's, have: ed 5, eg 4, em 5 5 5 5, en 5, ep 7
" Any size image will do because Babble will resize the image for you, but sometimes large pictures look like goo when you shrink them down. Luckily there are tons of sites that offer free buddy icons for you to choose from"
I just used Google Image search with explicit 32x32 restriction, found a few
gremlin, that's too teeny-tiny
it's itty bitty, gremlinn
click on someone's profile to get a sens of a normal icon size. the chog shrinks it
okay, hold on a moment
babrab, Babble will not resize huge images.
I am quoting from the site
evening all- gremlin that is one tiny picture - try bigger
hi hoot
hi hootowl
no more E's? hmmm...
HOOT! HOOT HOOT HOOT! *flaps wings in excitement*
hi
hi hoot and stid
Where's you come from stid?!!! hihihihi
i am going to go to sleep as soon as my sleeping medication kicks in (last night it took a couple hours though...)
Hi, I'm just starting and I assume the list is out of action for the day
hey pini! how are you?
gremlin, if you pick a topin and google it and go to Images, they will all work, although they whould be square or they'll be distorted.
hi pini
1 more P, have: pa 5 5 4 5 4 pe 4 po 5
and bichon! and BR and ... pippin again! *happy mama look*
hi stid!
I am too scared to look at jill -- scary icon pic
stid, i finished, i'm proud!
stid, it's just a Goth guy
tired, stid...been busy with the MFA app season...we've exceeded our all time high!
how goes the reading and essaying?
I just happen to need ONE word to finish. help with final am7 please. It is driving me up a wall!!!
YAY pini (belated!)
two pe 4/5
hi jilli ;)
thx br...looking
hootowl, is it the person who does the am5/14?
P's punished!
thx br :)
if not, it's a device to measure electrical current
no have that one - the other
a + *****s people play + coffee, **a or milk
go pini go!
2 more B's, have ba 4 5 6 6 be 4 4 4
oh dear god! and I am an electricians daughter and worked on electrical drawings for 18 yrs on my job!!!!!!!!
ba6 at beginning
pini, I am glad to not have to sort and classify applications. I think that would be a difficult job.
the am7 is an instrument for measuring current in amperes.
stid -- you take on too much -- 12 hours judging!
so does that mean fireworks for you?
ba 6/33 to start
it's extremely annoying, stid...we've exceeded 700 with an average of 5 envelopes per person = 3,500 pieces of mail to open, sort, match, data enter, and move forward to review committee...
past tense verbal assault by emeril
it wasn't solid judging jill -- the hard part is the waiting around between judging times. I only had three rounds.
am7 can also have a P inserted after "am" and mean the same thing, I think
YAY hoot?
be 6/30 after the first be 4.7
thx br...looking
past tense, bara
which is odd, because then we'd have an am8, and we don't
sorry - def firebirds - had to explain to BF why I cussed:D
must be two words if you spell it like that
hah. always the ones we should know best that we miss
gremlinn, have you seen any of my messages?
YAY hoot! *stern mama look at BF*
about bewaring non-square images because of distortion
YAY hoot!!!
I just cropped to what looked square when eyeballing it, looked okay
and about the url for getting the icon themes, and several other things, gramlinn
I missed the theme URL
oh he meant well.
I use 600 x 800 or larger for icons with no problem
I was looking for icons for a short period, sorry
oh, okay then. *offers choclits to hoot and BF*
http://tinyurl.com/6z7unz
I use Google images with no changes made
B's bombed!
oh, that's convenient, I already have a pet icon that I use on Facebook
just 60 more to go (I feel like a slug and my assistant monkey is not helping much)
yes, I also suggested that, gremlinn -- google images, which come out the right size.
go pini go! I am down to 83 and won't finish
he thanks you. I don't do choc so I'll give him mine too.
oh, wow, this icon theme looks like serious business
grem, I hadn't seen the pretty eye -- but it's still very small
nifty, hoot! ((hugs))
((hugs)) back
you're joking now, right?
G'night all, all done... and hoot, the great horned owl is hooting in the tree by my chicken yard, so it's time to call it LATE!
g'night mayan
who's joking?
I probably shouldn't say this...but unless I can find an owl to match the theme...I just use owls.
hang on, you must not be talking about how it appears in the chat box
sweet dreams and YAY warrior!!!
be well, Mayan
gremlinn, the eye is fine in the chat, but too small in the profile
sorry, I was confused - I thought we were only getting icons for the Chatterbox picture
Oh mayan I wish
I was thinking, "this is about the biggest eye I can fit in that square".
okay, it's early but i have my monday picture
what do you wish, hoot?
the icons appear in a larger size in the profiles, and there are sometimes interesting explanations of them.
*runs to look at pippin's monday pic*
besides, it's already monday here!
gee whiz that's a big one, pippin -- your maine coon cat?
no stid, it's not 'shopped. scout really was that big
That I had an owl in my backyard. BF even has one at work!
I have a lovely Maine Coon cat called Marco
scout had to be put down last feb (feline leukemia and diabetes) but i still have his little sister
I've heard Maine coon cats are really big.
maine coons are the best!
wow pippin -- I think that's the biggest non-lethal cat I have ever seen.
scout was 33 lbs
the size of a cocker spaniel
ok bb soon - have to put bf to bed.
scout was gorgeous -- so sorry you lost him -- how old was he?
And 3 owls in the yard... Hoot, I even had a very cute big-eared little owl in the front yard... AAAH country life!
later hoot ((hugs)) good to see you again
he was 9. i can't believe ronia will be 10 this summer!
Bye Hoot!
bye hoot
sorry you lost him pippin, it's rough.
Pippin, sorry about Scout.
em8?
I guess I'll post my dear Susie again -- she was nearly 19 when she'd had enough of life.
i tell you tho, it's a lot less cat hair and litter box mess!
Polo, Marco's brother had a genetic thing and died at 8 yrs. I guess Maine Coons have this issue
yes please jill -- she was such a beautiful lady-cat.
like someone who got kicked out of law practice, but starts with em instead
em+ a place to drink+ past tense
well, I got down to 74. and tired enough to sleep once I get the bed cleared off... which is piled high from yet another half-finished "good idea" *sigh*
see you-all again tomorrow probably *poof*
bye stid
i guess since i'm up i'll hang around for the flip
can't belive it since it's past midnight and i've been up since 6am!
he8?
here we are
Ok - I'm back
he8 -- add **other couple of letters to the previous word
ty and the last he6?
last he is standard latin ending
remove tha last 3 lteters of the 8 and subsitute a diff vowel
all vowels
*letters
ty
1st ma6?
sorry, haven't finished the Ms
ma6 is greek - wild mad woman
think ms west of westerns
ty
who, being female, lacks go***s
help with 1st me6/24 and last me6/24? please :)
ist is a latin plural
last is a past tense of a british spelling
latin pl of what?
me + ***l the phone + vowel
latin plural of news
nm, pip, got it
did that hep jilli?
got the 1st one....stuck on the other???????
hep, i've ost a etter!
the phone clue helped
"news" is too vague
last 5 me words are allthe same - am english and brit english
digby, it's a unit of measurement, spelled for the uk, then put in past tense
that did it! thank you pip! :)
closest match is 3 feet
yeah, news wasn't good, but i couldn't think of a better word that didn't use it, and i'm a little tired today
you do it very well mam
yes she does!
and that is some cat!
he was a keeper. quite a character and very sweet, if a little dumb (just made him that much more endearing)
brb
he's beautiful, reminds me of my Simba who was a Maine Coon too.
20 minutes...might as well stick around for the next one
I had a cat once that fell between a chair and the couch. Only 10 inches apart. That's dumb!
oh, but i love the embarrassment after they do such things, too funny
grem, what's the greek?
Hi everybody!!
I guess it's a good luck charm for finding Greek words
Hello
yes - they never get so clean as when they are trying to convince you " I mean't to do that"!
re5/16 please
nice, i like it
hi BR
hi kimmtoats
re5/16: how to get off drugs
Hello
ty amy winehouse!
ty
or re + mr quayle
that's a 5/12
hi babble!
What we all need to get off this game!
oops, wrong word. too tired to bother looking at my list anymore. this is why i should be asleep, yet i am powerless to resist the flip!\
that's a good one, gremlinn -- too bad this isn't a Friday, which is the day we post icons which are clues to words in the grid. Yours would be perfect!
haha, glad you noticed it
couldn't miss it! Is that the one you use in FB?
no, that was for a pet icon
need a drink - brb
I switched to a puppy pic after someone said my real photo was too scary looking
hahahahaha. i mean, that's mean, but funny
LOL!
i'm assuming the scary was the photo, not what you actually look like, of course
yeah, I think they meant "intimidating"
it wasn't someone I knew, it was in a word game app sort of like this
1st am5 please
hootowl has the right idea, a drink sounds nice, but then i will have a hangover tomorrow. curse my lightweight lack of tolerance!
a very small water-living creature
single celled organism
uncommon spelling, missing one of its usual vowels
tyvm for firewords
now what made you think it would be alcoholic?
phew
because i wish it were!
WTG wildcat!
now I'm going to bed .. nite all
congrats wildcat
well actually it's Johnny Red & water
nite wc
:)
nite wc
It's my way of keeping myself from staying up all night!
you lucky cuss. assuming you like whisky, which actually i don't. the bartender at my work today made me a "tropical dew". i drink girly drinks
Well I'm allergic to rye, gin and sensitive to brandy...so I avoid the fancy girlie stuff. Biggest regret was not being able to drink Bailey's.
I have 21 left, all Ms, Rs and Ts. Phooey.
Actually - you may be allergic too. I used to get the dammest hangovers til I realised it was allergies.
i can't stand gin or whisky or martinis so i'm left with few options
Please, Lickety, come back!
i think it's likely the amount of sugar in what i drink
jilli you haven't been trying. We're here. You should have asked for help.
and i assume allergies would affect me with food too, but i don't have any issues there
we heart you lickety!
he'll be back. And everyone will be so grateful and fawning. If he doesn't want to do it he should give it to someone else
I always used BJ's list when it was here. And I used it today.
Hoot, he's been doing it faithfully every day right after the flip. Today is an exception.
so, do i snack on ahi tuna or cilantro-dill hummus?
hi jilli all
I've been using BJ's list and am very grateful for it -- it just takes a lot longer than Lickety's and I didn't have time today.
hi dart
