Hi jilli. I am sorry this is not a good anniversary for you
hey jill
(((many hugs for jill)))
did you make your wedding dress, bugs?
You are very talented tho!
it will come to you stid
No I made the two youngest boys.
got the 8.. like that ending
thanks, bugs
LOL!
I want to say that as pretty as jill's photo is, the actual coat of arms is MUCH better. She is so amazing. *sigh*
well, thanks, stid!
LOL bugs! well done!
best things I ever made and I love them all.
mr flynn is in the grid *melt* he made such a great robin hood!
beautiful story jilli and what a lovely tribute
today my brother is 55
Do y'all have todays clues? I have the date right but I think the clues are yesterdays.
thanks, west
seems to be how it works these days
newest Robin Hood is Russell Crowe doesn't seem right
peach, lickety just loaded them. try a refresh
peach, there were no clues yesterday -- none so far today
Thanks, stid.
happy bday west's brother!
in 8
thanks stid I'll pass it on
de7 x 2
do 8 x 2
Good evening. Did anyone elses clues just change from Sunday's clues to Mondays clues? Basically 1 day behind yesterday and today?
I remember him coming home from the hospital
hm. that sorta implies you are older than 29 west...
no clues yesterday, alley, clues fresh for today
Oh, so there WERE Lickety clues for yesterday!
It's been late three days in a row.
just a bit when I turned 50 I started counting backwards so I'm younger than he is now
hey vashon! we're probably doing a babble meet up here in Western Washington in August....
for some reason the clues are loading a day behind. I
oh groan -- I hope Lickety realises what day it is now!
Stid, I did refresh.....same grid and clues as yesterday. Maybe later.
it's because lickety can't load the clues immediately at flip. He needs to get the new grid first... and then load the clues for us when he can take a break from work...
I must depart for awhile. see ya'll later!
later just
oh, that's too bad jill
bye freep
I am sure mrp will let him know!
So my clues just changed to be ac5/12, ac4/5, ac5/14. and there are no ac's. is that what everyone has?
LOL I just hope my day tomorrow is no worse than a day's clues behind...
any word about Maddie?
a babble meet?
I got sm 7, in case anyone's looking
yes, vash...
could be fun :)
yes vashon, we are hoping anyway -- pini, me, mother, jill, flosey... jmc probably ...
all the pacific northwesterners (and anyone else elsewhere that can make it)
Bugs, too
aww that sounds like a fun group
wow
yep bugs, and ??? I don't know if saanichcat can...
where are you from vashongin?
it should be a great time. so far the babblers I have met are pretty amazingly nice and wonderful.
i will be getting my daughter settled at college that month in illinois, but i hope i can make it
vashon :)
wow! is she that old already??? I have another year before I have to make that particular transition.
vashon island?
your first to go away vash?
it's a small island out in Puget Sound between Seattle and Tacoma
yes, west
somehow I imagined you were in the south! No idea why.
it's hard I know
she just turned 18 and she wants to go somewhere where she doesn't have to take a ferry to get somewhere
LOL well illinois should be safe there...
well, vash -- had no idea you were so close!
looks like the PNW GT could be rather fun with so many nearby!
half way but 3 blank n's still
yeah. living here is beautiful
love the purse cybernan
we're forgetting someone... (more than one I know) there are a lot of islanders who babble actually -- georgia and her husband, too.
ty bugs
guess we'll just have to keep posting info, stid...and see who shows!
would be fun if we could get as many as possible...
was ni 6 called?
I got it, didn't call it
here it is an el nino year and nino "is not in the dictionary"
*grin* we could all take the long ferry ride as walkons and play scrabble and talk the whole way...
oh nan that's adorable I'd take up golf just to get one
I would love it if more from BC could come, but I only have a Yaris so 3 is all I can carry in my vehicle. I could take a fourth, but we would not be able to bring a change of clothes
not yet vashon, guess you get that one!
ty vash
I can pick up 4 on the way up...
lol west
ty vash
jil- your icon theme is lovely- i am weeping
cl 6, de 6 x 3; do 6 x 2
god bless you
jmc might be with you PIni, don't forget
fo 6
it might be possible to have the Vancouver/islanders take ferries as walkons and then we meet you and be chauffeurs. I have a minivan and so does mother.
*heads to PB*
i have fo 6 x 2
lo 6
ok, I can pick up 3 more!
oh, don't, sammy! I have happy memories.
we can put extra folks in the bed of pini's truck. and on the pink camo gunrack...
go dee go!
ty vash looking
now you're talking, stid! LOL
bugs I like your creations too
oh boy, here we go with the pink camo
I will bring bungee cords for any that need to be strapped on the roof!
haven't watched the chog so might have been called but.... DO 8/50
I promise, I will NOT be wearing any!!!
hi dee hi (when did you get here?)

I have a question for the hard-core babblers
I'm the same as pini
Hello all, late flip for me, diving in
got it. *sigh*
down to 70 will play tomorrow night if I can justify it.
hi mel!!!
nbt
hi mel
same se 4 as the ne 4
hey meliae! you can come to the meetup in august too!
Mel...there's talk about a get together sometime in August if you're up for it!
go dee! go nan! go everyone!!!
in 6/21 i believe
ty
got the ne4!!!
anyone ever get together in the northeast?
2nd row n has an ni4/5 init
okay, I am tired. ready to sleep and all.
kimmtoats, what's your question?
the tiles directly under the puzzle, why are there 2 of some letters? like there are 2 L's
yes ADHD, they do, but not usually this time of year! LOL
got the righthand I
kimm...the letters below the grid mimic the location of the letters in the grid
kimm, there are 2 Ls in the grid
good question. some words can only be made starting in one or the other place.
if a word could come from either, the protocol is to count it from the uppermost and left-most tile
the number behind the / = the number of words from that tile
here are all the i's: in 5, 4, 6, 8, 6, 7, 5, 5, 4, 6, 6, 7
...and now I'll be quiet...
now I am really and truly outta here. good night and happy days all! *poof*
Got it! Wow! That is so helpful! i'm a little slow on the uptake!lol
nite stid

thanks grem
I copy/paste my word list into my text editor. Then I search the regular expression "Look Up Word ([a-z]{2})[a-z]* (\d+) (\d+)" and replace with "\01 \02/\03"
That cuts out all the unnecessary stuff and extracts the first two letters ([a-z]{2}) and the letters/points after
lickety's is a day off again
wow
wow grem would never have known how to do that; always had to type them when I did it..
what is a text editor? Is it in word?
I had to learn regular expressions for rapid text editing for the game writing I do.
oh, grem! YAY for the sparklers and for posting a list!
A text editor is like Word but without the fancy formatting.
amazing
Not all text editors do regular expressions though.
well thanks grem... we 'preciate the list
grem -- would you be albl e to help Lickety make an Expert for Macs?
What kind of games do you write?
I write online text adventure games - they are at http://www.rinkworks.com/adventure
I will check them out...
jilli: no experience with Macs
thx grem, finished
oh, too bad -- so many Mac users are deprived of such a wonderful helper
Only two of the games on that page are mine, several different people have helped make that compilation.
Lickety has family stuff no list. Poof again
yes, herin, we know
hi all
Yay, mitch!!!
nj mitch
jilli, I also have a Mac.
I have mac and cheese.. anyone want some?
me ru
kimm, I'm one of the llucky PC owners ;)
me, ruru, as long as it's calorie-free
virtual food is always calorie-free
just left that site gremlin... brings back memories... fun ones
cool
grem -- when we first got a computer we played a game I think was like those -- can't remember the name
"mudds" or Muds is the common name I think Jilli
ah -- King's Quest? It was 1995
mine are single-player, not MUDs
jilli: sort of the same type of thing in terms of story, but King's Quest had graphics too
oh, I didnt go look yet Grem
oh -- no graphics for yours?
only single images, like for maps
I didn't explore the site -- it said to sign in
bookmarked it though
yeah, you just need to put in a name/password, that's it
and email address
another time I'll investigate, grem, thanks
np, thanks for the interest
wow finally NBT
does anyone have all the C words I am missing one, I have 5,5,6,5,6 all cl what am I missing please?

I'm back from trying unsuccessfully to sleep lol
I saw that, flosey -- do you hae grem in your My Friends?
Jellen also posted clues
Greetings, Douglas
oh, ok
Hello jilli...I'm almost halfway, not bad for having 7, count 'em, 7 blank tiles
hi everyone
hi andree
next time I see Gremlin in I'll add him as a friend jilli
hi Andree
grem gets the clues up pretty fast :)
I noticed, think they were up before I left?
brb
Feeling pleased with myself for having found in8 all on my lonesome
Morning evening all Just over half way, not a bad grid so far (famous last words).
morning FM x
Hi Katie!! all well with you?
hi Douglas, FM, Katie
Hi flosey love yr icon and story.
How do I add Grem as a friend?
hi fm
Go to the My Friends tab above the chat and then when he is online 'friend' him
Evening Andree
only way I know is when he is online here, go to Who's Online and click on "add to friends" then he will be in your "My Friends"
sorry I meant Whos online, flosey is mo4 on the ball than I :)
thank you FM
Wondering if Frodo ever got called Frod by his closer friends
i don't quite understand the friends thing aren't we all friends?
lol, FM was thanking you for your comments on my icon
lol Douglas
yes Andree, but if you list us in "My Friends" you can always know what friends are online
can't we do that by going to who's on line?
How many words today please
I concur that this grid isn't particularly nasty, FMitch, although some words for tiles with few words must be a little odd
198 gran
198
Thanks
in8 please
Anyone on line now have the list?
jellen had it but I think she might be off line now
Give me a mo rumple and I will put it in my profile, I copied it from Gremlin earlier.
Wondering whether I should press on to NBT, or sleep...well, that was easy! Good night all!
in 8 = in + crease + suffix for more so
night douglas
bye douglas
andree, if you want to see something about a friend who is NOT online, you can if he/she is in your My Friends. For example, gremlin and jellen posted a list in their profiles. If they are not online and you hae them in your MY Friends, you can get the lists. Also, Sprite keeps the list of icon themes so if yo have her in your My Friends and she's not online you can access her list that way.
You can also access someones profile from the rankings
thx jilli
half way must be off to do so** work, see you all later x
OK list added to my profile. Hi jilli,wonderful icon and story and a touching anniversary too *hugs*
yes anike thats how i do it
Jellen is online in Who's Online, you can copy the list from her bio
Bye Katie, 10 mo4 mins and I will be doing the same.
Thanks, FM -- it was a great icon suggestion
It's a lot easier to access profiles from My Friends than from the rankings
Beautiful work FM, in your icon
thx for in anike
Good morning/evening all.
Hello Haz
Thanks flosey, it took ages as the stitches are very small and the house is about 10" across. Good morning Haz!
I agree with flosey, FM, about your wonderful cross stitch!
Hi Haz :)
Hello! Crossstitch, my favourite!
lol of course Haz, we know you adore anything to do with sewing.
hi haz
Absolutely! The house is beautiful, FM.
Are we supposed to contribute pictures of our sewing achievements?
no, anything you have made or created.
Do children count?
you could put up a pic of your lovely daughters :)
snap
They were a kind of co-production, though.
True
Mint cheesecake?
but we could stretch the point.
Stupid me must go to the PB.
not for breakfast thanks LOL. Yes that would work
bugsaw posted her grownup sons
and mine isn't sewing, Haz
Flosey posted her weaving and nan a little golfer's bag she made (that's sewing, though)
I see the product that so many of my family were involved in making (li5/10) in the grid.
Did you not also carve a Great Danes head jilli?
yes, FM -- in my flickr pix
but that was done with a dremel tool
i have done many projects, never thought to take a photo
andree, it was today's icon theme
I have pics of most of my embroideries but not on the PC and never got round to scanning them in.
i have just realised that jilli, I don't follow the themes, its all i can do to change my icon once in a while
I had never thought of taking pics of different things I made, was thinking of using the dress I made for hubby's graduation (l962)
I need my bed -- 61 left. Tomorrow is going to be busy -- lots of errands to do and it's supposed to rain a lot :(
talking about my icon, i just weighed hugo, 8 kilos
bye jilli
nighty night jilli
goodnight jilli, sweet dreams - not of rain - it might just blow over and dump on Vancouver
8 kg = 17.6 lbs
How big will he be when fully grown Andree?
Goodnight all! *poof*
not too sure fmitch, he is bigger now at 6 months than i expected him to grow to
Okay, picture changed.
he will certainly be more spaniel than poodle size
HAZ HAZ HAZ
I ahve a website for you
its all relative, i think ruru's new puppy weighs more already
Thas great Haz, you get the prize for including so many things following the theme. Hi herin
your table looks beautiful Haz, very inviting
Hi
SOrry little excited.
Thank you, flosey and FM. I love setting tables!
http://tackyweddings.com Weddings of all things tacky. Haz my dear I thought of those wonderful (hack cough hack) dresses you have used as your icon
oh rats it's gone 9am so I must swap babble head for work head (for a while) TTFN
my mother did too Haz, even when she ate alone, it was always nice china and silver, with a pretty tablecloth
And there I was thinking it was going to be a website for needle and thread phobics to console with each other.
there you go Haz, there are so many ways to be creative
It's one of the highlights for me when I'm having people to eat is to set the table. It's kind of like setting the scene.
Bye FM.
Bye FM
right Haz, and it also creates a mood
bye fm and hi herin
fireworks
Congratulations, anike.
I'm looking at those tacky weddings. They were aptly named.
Congrats Anike
yay anike
I had to share Haz for your future icons
I wonder if some of them will regret their choices in future?
hello, for any of you who have been following the saga of Max, the vet just left and although it is sarcoptic mange, it is very treatable. She gave him 3 shots, proclaimed Ruby mange-free, said I wouldn't catch it, and everything would be alright! Phew!
There's a relief!
happy for you ruby, must be quite a relief for all concerned
O poor pup
I was crazed, couldn't eat or sleep and was afraid he'd have to be put down. You have all been very supportive and I thank you. Will try to act less crazy in future!
glad to hear that ruby
My friend is threatening me with a chav brides maids dress
Have any of the so4/4 bits become infected?
did anybody see the movie "28 Dresses" with Katherine Heigl? It's about bridesmaids' outfits, sounds like it would have been perfect for this chat!
All you need to remember, ruby, is to not imagine what might be wrong, but to get a diagnosis more quickly. Lecture over.
lecture received, haz, but I can't stop smiling!
but we all diagnosed it correctly and google and ata knew the name of the drug!
At least it didn't get as far as one case my husband dealt with years ago. A man brought a very sorry looking dog to the surgery, told husband that he had been trying to treat it himself but had failed miserably. He said his wife had threatened dire consequences if he didn't get it sorted out, so he was bringing the dog to get put down. His marriage was at stake, he said. Off he went, husband did the deed, half an hour later the phone rang. It was the man 'Sure you haven't put that dog down?' It turned out that the wife had meant him to get the dog treated, he had misunderstood and thought she wanted it 'sorted out once and for all' as being to get the dog put down.
Bad story, haz, my husband was so nasty to me this AM about the dog, that I thought he'd want me put down! LOL
Hopefully the treatment will get Max sorted out quickly, he'll certainly be a lot more comfortable.
yes, if he stops biting himself, all will improve quickly
this vet is the nicest and Max was very calm
It'll be the itch that's driving him to it, once that's removed it should settle down.
he seems to feel better when he's out in the snow; maybe the mites get sleepy in the cold
The cold will be soothing, almost anaesthetising to the skin.
Gosh Haz that is terrible about the dog. Maybe the wife needed a husband
It's a long time ago since it happened, it's just a shame that the two of them didn't actually sort out what they meant by what they said.
Didn't your husband have the euthanasia forms?
Ruby play fetch with snowballs with the pup that is fun for entertainment
The man willingly signed anything he needed to - as far as he was concerned his wife wanted the dog out of the house because he had been trying to treat a skin condition for months without success. What his wife really wanted was for him to take it to the vet and get it treated.
Oh I have the best dog story to tell
is anyone here or did everyone sod off
I'm here, waiting for the story.
waiting too
My friend has 3 big dogs. 2 are security trained. One is a Belguim Shepherd the Other a Douge. The pizza delivery guy turned the handle on the screen door. BOth her dogs are trained to stalk then pin or stare then back. Thank goodness the door was locked or the pizza guy would be pinned in a corner. Stupid man trying to open a closed door
not back Bark
So, what happened?
Door was closed. Pizza guy may need a new pair of pants.
Her and I have been quoting 'Release the hounds'' most of the evening
Taking a break, I'll be back shortly. Bye for now.
bye haz
Bye Haz.

My friends have two. Ig and Oog

She found Winston the dad ferret is a wuss. She rescued him off the side of the road
wow I killed the chat

Hi herin. I love ferrets.My sister found a stray in her horse's feed bucket. It used to curl up on the hearthrug like a cat, and travel in the car with her. Then she traced its owner and reunited them.
Don't blame me no one likes me
Hi Hydra. That is way cute.
Hi ron. Hi Flask and Andree.
Winston the ferret is a big wuss.
I like you, herin!!!
I was kidding Hydra.
I am going to go to bed in 20min getting tired

why was that Bichon?
He works for Google and he's paranoid

I think Biscuit, my Bichon makes a good icon though
I don't have any kiddie pics on Facebook, just mine.
yes I agree Cross
a tad paranoid,but if it keeps the family peace....
and it is a pretty puppy
It's not fun to be parnoid, but he's right. All the YouTube videos have privacy locks on them
moring everyone....getting nailed again...25 inches on Saturday and another foot now and still falling...blizzard conditions predicted for this afternoon...geesh!
we are just going to miss it up here seaspray;))
My friend's daughter sent out Xmas cards with the return address label having a picture of her little son. He thought that was a very bad idea too

good morning folks
BBL after I power up
morning jbv
Is there a list in someones profile today?
the world is on pause here - white, silent, beautiful (nothing scary yet, we just have about 5 or 6 inches - NJ)
Jacula has a list in her profile
hi JBV, White and pristine here too
wish we had pause here,the citiots are up to ski and are already playing bumper cars on our roads
Guten Morgen, we have the same as JBV. It is our firt real snow storm. I love it/ And thanks Annie.
i'm not going anywhere - snowed in and loving it
we had Fri. and Mon. off as planned holidays, so if this snow continues and we have another snow day tomorrow - this will be a 6-day break!!
crosy send jbv a true canadin north woods breakfast so he can be snowbound in luxury
damn typos
thanks, crossy, send the low-fat, high-fiber version please
low fat..mmmm.wellll..guess i piece of dry toast and a boiled egg and a glass of skim milk..but not my idea of a fine brekkies
no, it doesn't have to be so boring - I can be more creative
hi, all. I am loving this new computer.
Sorry for disappearing - got a 'phone call.
The double F is very useful today
ok ill try again... scrambled egg whites,some whole wheat english muffieswith gooseberry jam,a slice of lean canadian peameal bacon and my famouse fresh squeezed oj
BBL. Happy Babbling.
ah, just the ticket! thank you crossy! (and please watch the typos - you've come perilously close to reminding me of my valiant critter nemesis last week )
lol
lol mice?
only one, crossy, but he will become a legend among his tribe - outwitted me daiy for about a week, I finally one, but with little glory, he was brilliant!
*won
lol whe the wife and i were first married we were dirt poor and had set up ahouse trailer on my da,s farm for the summer..well we had mice up to our armpits.you had to check the toaster every morning before you put a slice of bread down or you could end up with mice on toast
if I had a video, it would be # 1 on youtube - we actually had a tug of war with a strand of spaghetti
he was inside the stove, the spaghetti was sticking out, I grabbed one end, well, you can imagine....
lol
LOL
good thing I have a sense of humor, plus many years of childhood mouse stories with my son to give this little fellow a real personality
we would check the toilet before we sat down as well.nothing quite like feeling little mice whiskers on yer bare tushie
yikes!
it got so crazy..i should of known,setting up beside a wheat field
have to take a break - see you later and good luck to all
ever woke up with a mouse laying on yer belly and cleaning itself?
tc jbv
one final visual image from crossy before my breakfast, thank you again, cross!::))
lol np
help please with....me 5/22
me5/22-it is a plural with no singular-think of the box of turns that mice run through & change 1st vowel
it does have a singular also
thanks gramma, thought I'd tried that with no success
crossy, I have similar issues with squirrels. They are so brazen, they actually spit walnuts at us.
ty ty been looking for ages
yw
squirrels!!!....had one come in the bedroom partner would not believe me....had the last laugh on him tho
he had to get rid of it ...he was in his birthday suit...lol
hello all, snowed in again!! at least 8-10 inches here and expected to get more during the day!!. it does look pretty, like clouds on the ground but I dread doing more shovelling
My husband finally went out and shot them as they cavorted in the afternoon.
We have 1 or 2 left.
peri, where do you live?
Phila
actually right outside Phila, PA
I wish we would get some of your snow.
you can have it all, gramma!!!
They have plenty in the mountains but down here in the banana belt it's pretty grim.
innies is too a word. People either have innies or outies to describe their belly buttons.
10 inches here in chicago, but sun is out now
Hello Peri,
hi all. boring here in d.c. with snow and wind but at least i have power.
how is it in phily? my son lives near citi line av
See you are right outside Phila. We are in Valley Forge. Guess we have a clean out day when all is said and done in our areas.
Innit is a word, innit?
only in the south
Good morning all. Annie said the double F is coming in handy, I am liking the double N
Of England, that is :-)
is lickety up and correct?
mkg - we are about 10 miles west of city line ave. earlier got sleet so all the wires are thick with ice. Now the snow is starting again.
clinne
oops sorry
that's kinda personal mkg
I don't think so, MKG and good morning
lol Esprit, good morning
good moaning
Im back again...I read earlier that Lickety's daughter is in the hospital with pneumonia
good morning all
mkg, Maybe you couild help me out? We're coming to DC for our son's graduation and looking for a reasonably priced place to stay. Any clues?
oh no
gramma,
Annie, I see you are under a blizzard warning. I hope it won't be too bad on you.
gramma i think the hotels are cheaper now with the recession. what school is he granduating from?
anie how is the snow in n y?
Mom, it is beautiful to watch..very white and pristine
gramma,
I love watching it fall.
mkg, snow, snow and more snow..very pretty
I am glad I don't have to go out in it.
gramma, if you are going to u. md, there are good hotels over there. if near d.c. then it is expensive. i would try going on line and seeing what is there. there are sites like cheap tickets.com but they have hotels too.
He's graduating from GW law.
wow congratulations. well g w is in d c. so best to stay nearby. ask him if there are any places. he will know better than me. when is it? right now the city is stand still and no parking due to snow everywhere.
I've been looking on line. The problem is there are 9 of us. We were hoping to rent something like an apartment or ? The adds say will sleep 8 and then you read on and it's a 2 bdrm. We're not that close a family.
your alternative is to stay in the suburbs in silver spring where it is less expensive than rockville, and take metro in. but discuss with him because he knows the metro and how close it is to him.
He's in MexicoCity right now for his last semester learning the intricacies of Spanish law language
hmmm..........i dont know what to say. 9 of you. there are some places like marriot suites........they crowd everyone into 2 bedrooms though. dont know about renting anything larger. sorry. i am a realtor and will check around.
when is it?
It's in May. We'd like to arrive about the 14th and leave the 17th.

Welcome, flosey
Good morning Flosey
el 5 clue please?
Hello again, flosey.
an older person, MGK.
nm got the el.
Knock Knock!
come in
Who's there?
Amahl!
nu so who is it?????????
Amahl Who?
Amahl shook up!
babble you are a male???????????i just found out.
ty also, mom, just saw your clue.
Elvis lives!
you're welcome MKG
hahahahaha
BR is a definite guy.
tried fedrole for the govt but nope. hmmmm
Haz, I didn't recognize you without Spangle.
That's the beauty of having a constant icon, you get recognised by it. I changed icon to compete with FM's brilliance in creativity. She is a wizard with the needle. I am not.
Well it's lovely.
your table setting is lovely, Haz
My (?) doctor just called. I don't know if she's mine or not. She called to check up on me. She said she was worried that I left the hospital too soon. She wanted me to stay and the surgeon said I could go home. So, what would you do? I went home. Now it seems that I have offended the doctors good judgement and I get the feeling she's saying see ya.
Fun to be incognito, though.
gramma, that is bizarre.
Who needs this kind of ego and power play when you're sick?
I really like setting tables, but not sure that it really does count as creativity.
Someone may have stolen your dream when it was young and fresh and you were innocent. Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible.
it counts, Haz
why are you incognuity hego
Don't worry about the dr's feelings, gramma. As long as you're okay. He'll get over it.
Not me Oodle, Haz
That's good to know, Mom, it's just something I like to do.
My follow up appt. is with the surgeon. No appt.with my doc.
:)
hello, back from my first shift a shovelling. not sure how much more I can do today and imore snow is expected
welcome back Peri
No need to apologize about what you enjoy. So many are incapable of enjoying anything.
Hi Peri, you're a real trooper, Luv.
Hello, peri, you're getting plenty of exercise.
good morning
Very philosophical today BR.
and here in Quebec it is a beautiful day... another good day for taking pictoors
good morning Dorens
Hiya Dorens!
Hello, Dorens
someone has to do it :)
I know what you mean, BabbleRabble, and I do take pleasure in simple things, so, you're right, no apology necessary.
hi doren, peri, BR, oodle, hego, haz, Mom- nice to see a big crowd here today
I am enjoying my snow day. slept late, and babbling early, no point in shoveling yet, so much more to come
Hello JBV and Dorens.
me too doren - we may end up with a snow WEEK! Fri. and Mon. are scheduled holidays!
byt Doren, it is easier to shovel 6-8" than 10-20"
Hi jbv
hi morning, good JBV
ten to twenty inches, with a driveway my length calls for snowplowing peri!
I will do as much as I can and then it will have to wait. supposed to get a little warmer tomorrow and Fri so hopefully some of it will melt
snow here is at the point where we can still appreciate the beauty - the inevitable mess will come tomorrow, I guess
if I were there peri I would help
ty oodle, wish you were here
What's up with the FE words? I can't find them. Come out come out wherever you are.
It's a beautiful marshmallow world here today.
there are some strange tracks down the middle of my street - very long footprints? snowshoes? short skis????
but can't go until the 25th and then I will have my license to drive anyway
oh yes it's beautiful today. I will go for a walk later, maybe shovel my walk
fe 7/44 I think beer has to fe 7/44 before you can drink it.
ty
you're welcome Gramma and that is the only fe word I have
I was told at the SAAQ (the Canadian version of the DMV) that I had six months after I got my permanent residency to drive in <Canada and if I did drive with it after 6 months I would be driving illegally but there isn't any law on the books YET that puts a limit on exchanging my license for a Canadian until october of this year.
really nice of Canadians to give me a canadian(license) when I give them my license :D
well I thought it was funny ... gee
and I killed chat :(
finally, halfway. Time to do some housework. See you all soon. {{Hugs}}
bye mom
oodle, are you saying you have to give up US license to get Canadian?
Bye Mom.
bye bye Haz
No, no oodle. All ia well. :-)
yes ma'am
hmmm, seems strange
thought as long as you maintained both you were ok
no flosey legally I am living here... I am on Canadian soil and legally have to pay canadian fees and follow canadian law
of course, you can still drive in US with Canadian license
yes
Bummer
still have my right to drive in either place
help with both lone n's pls
I let my Ontario license lapse when I moved to BC first time, then moved back and had to go through the exam again
intime
bottom lone n: no6 not gals
oops
oh different in the states
merci, chere, Une
de rien :-)
hate non words never see them
when I moved back to BC, I didn't have to rewrite, just transferred
nyes
my monkeys found that one!
crap, but it is not a word
need help with top n for NBT pls
top n: ne4 -- ne + ** I were a rich man . . .
when I was in california and had my license lapse and when I went back to the state of WAshington I only have to pay a processing fee. Didn't even have to take the test
merci, again, Une
et encore . . . de rien! :-)
hello all
Hello TO!
Hi TO
hihi
howdy, TO! (and haz and hego and oodle!)
Une, I forgot the word for again :)
stuck at home with 5 kids
hi Owl
is de rien like that de plane de plane? do you get your umbrella out?
peri LOL
BR LOL!
Hello Une (I'd typed in TUne and realised just in time)
everyone's a funny bunny today!
hmmm, kinda like Tune! :-)
someone thought that since Iam a US citizen no matter what I did I would still have to pay US income tax if I worked and still have to follow US laws... um if that were the case then all those men who did not join the army to oppose the law would have to. um it is a different country and no matter from where you are you ALWAYS have to follow LOCAL laws.
help with 8's pls
Do you have the menthol sweets 'Tunes' in the States? The ones that help you breathe more easily?
hi haz!
not familiar with those, Haz
peri, do you have in8?
have no 8's
ok some of that didn't come out right
no 8's here either
in + offices use hanging these in their file cabinets
so they start with no Une????
They've been on the go here for years. They used to be advertised with someone hardly able to speak because of a blocked up nose. One suck of a Tunes and they were able to pronounce with great clarity 'Tunes help you breathe more easily!'.
ooohhh, Oodle's wound up his funny this morning! LOL
:-)
;-)
ty gramma
2 do8's but I don't have them
do8 is sovereign authority
ty gramma
nice thnks gramma
Do8 of Canada
I don't have the other but I'll try
If you are supposed to obey the law it likely is a good idea to do so
doctorate? dominatrix?
LOL Une
do8/50 - the other one, start off with where you might sleep, last four letters are a mixed up fork prong.
the other begins with a room you get in college
tx haz!
ty Haz
a college in Virginia, Une ... Old Do
do8/50 - do plus iconic British small car run together with a charged particle (that's the sovereignty one)
ty Haz
need rest, bbl
thanks haz, and hello everyone!
ooohhh, tx again haz!!
can't get the mixed up prongs
sy8/55 - ends with country singer Patsy.
help?
You're welcome.
oohhh, and the sy8 -- fabbo once again!
The fork prong is also the same letters as in how Americans write night.
I write night night
hmmm, ok, still don't have the in8 . . .
lol me too
me too BR :-)
Okay, some Americans write night not night but as something else.
just keep playing w/those 4 letters and it will work
first is the college room correct?
in + one who gussies up the close before putting them away
wow, "Today" show showing miserable conditions in DC -- the poor folks who still had no power from the LAST storm!
tx BR -- new word for moi
hi everyone one, does anyone have a list in their profile since Lickety isn't up?
clothes
in8 in + the person in the laundry room, not the washer or dryer but the next step before you put away
I would be one of those folks Unea...but we haven't lost power yet
The college room is right. Add a couple of vowels to get do6. Then add the last two letters (both consonants) to get the do8.
thanks gramma for in8
thanks, finally got the college room clues!
Thanks gramma. Worryingly you've missed out the ironing part but maybe that's just me!
well i already have 2 feet of packed snow at end of driveway. time to shovel before the blizzard conditions come. kids who shoveled on sat ar nowhere to be seen
oops I don't iron
and thanks for the in8 clue!
lol haz i was g oign crazy looking for itron
keeping fingers crossed for you, seaspray!
I'm a really good fo****
Americans don't iron Haz.
Last two - me 4/10 and me 5/22 any clues please
I iron!!
Not if we can help it, anyway.
woo hoo got em Haz ty
I use a 9 iron to loft my socks into the drawers
There are probably lots of Brits who don't iron either, I'm just odd.
You're a good girl Une.
I'm in the non-ironing club with hego
Glad you got them, SeaSpray.
me 4/10 me + start of black & white striped animal and plural
ty Unea...we got 25 inches sat and blizzard like conditions this afternoon, about another foot so far
I used to LOVE ironing my dad's handkerchiefs and the cotton sheets and pillowcases!
gran, play the numbers and plural
TO, it sounds like you need to pay a retainer to those kids to keep them working at the snow. I don't envy you.
good grief, sea!
oh yes, hankerchiefs were fun
does anyone have a list in their profile since Lickety isn't up?
i do, luv
thanks Une!
Thanks for the clues and finished!
congrats, gran!!
See Une IS a good girl.
pretty soon the birds will be able to walk up to the feeder the snow is so deep lol
Well done, gran!
WTG Gran
congrats, gran
sea, what a delightful situation for the squirrels!
Congrats!
yeah gran!
wtg gran!
Haz, the clues this week seem to be one day off. I wonder if Lickety is aware.
yes it is Unea
I've heard that Lickety's daughter is sick in the hospital with pneumonia
hego, lickety's daughter is in hospital with pneumonia
Oh my!
There's something happening with LIckety which I can't quite explain. He seems to do the clues, but the timing is off by one day, I'm not sure whether there's been a change in daylight saving hours in Australia or what. I know his daughter is ill, but he's still been doing the clues, just one day out.
right!
So, naturally, because his daughter isn't well, nobody wants to be bothering him about it. We soldier on.
yes Haz, I noticed that the date change unlike when he's unable to do them normally
Also right
There's a logical explanation somewhere, meanwhile we rely on the combined efforts of flip-time babblers.
and greatly appreciate help they provide
Absolutely!
How old is the girl?
need help with last fo5/18 please?
I think she's around 12.
I was Babbling late last night [10 pm EST] and a couple of them went into the clues list]
Hope she'll be well.

hi all clue please for in8 and do8...not the sleepy one please?
It was lovely, it's only if Vicuna is around that we have to worry about singsongs.
Love chat singing
in8 in + put all your documents in a fo6/30
me too, hego! LOL
do8/50 - to have do8/50 over a country is to be in control. Start like the spotty game, end in a charged particle.
sing it une
Ah, but Vicuna doesn't have a note in her head and it's painful.
you know, I live in Nashvegas, home of the Patsy Cl*** museum!
thanx for those!!!
(not a country music fan, but I do like Patsy!)
a young local gal is playing the part of Patsy C in the Chemainus theatre, Vancouver Island

I'm only now noticing your profile Une. What a laugh!
first chair trombone, BR! LOL
i played the licorice stick
:-D
cool, oodle!
Oodle you never cease to amaze me.
Must been a challenge to carry that chair when marching?
A real renaissance man.
hardeeharhar
BR too much.
LOL
it is getting so bad here they are shutting down the snow plows
poor seaspray!!
really!
why hego that i am where I am because I am a jack of all trades and a master at none?
Sea, I think your Westie's a cutie. We're waiting for the snow to hit us this afternoon [central CT]
my son is a supervisor for a construction company and he has been out for 5 days, he called and said it's so bad he can't see where he is going
You sound like hubby now. He's a musician too.

Piano, guitar, sings and drums.
wow, what fun for YOU!
laissez les bons temps rouler
the lone N bottom row has me tied in a knot
New Orleans?
wow, BR's marchin' down Bourbon Street!
no6: not women
Did you do 76 trombones Une?
THAT's a word? geez thanks!
no, but we did have a big marching band for a little town -- 115!
my daughter LOVES that musical
That is a big one. A lot of furniture to haul around
laissez les bons temps rouler to you too BR!
no 6/21 is negative prefix and ales
* males even
how small of a town une?
oh sry... howdy babble buds!
well, when we moved there in the 1950s, our phone number was 26!
Hello, ADHD
hey, ADHD! :-)
Iwas going crazy looking for a ale word.
my first number was 454
:-)
ale word?
Course Une is way older that I am .. at least 6 months
:-D
what do you mean phone number 26, that many telephones in town?
i live in the smallest town in our state; 1800 people; 83 kids enrolled in school
We had a party line [in NYC]. People could listen in to your conversation
ADHD, we had a party line and that was our actual phone number!
we had party lines in the fifties... my mom used to catch me listening to other's calls
There were 6 that graduated with me from 8th grade
man... what a puter lag...
when my mom made a mistake in an address on a letter to her mom, someone called her from the post office to let her know
that's SMALL :-)
no lagging play babble
i so remember those days and miss them. i'd like to go back in time... and bring my computer with me of course
Yes, and my father was young and alive
altogether now . . . Geezers! We're Geezers!
:-D
aw... i just lost my dad recently, my mom 14 yrs ago (jan). the memory of them in the 50s is so vivid
now where is my cane
I think the Post Office here is pretty good. The town has a population of around 30,000, yet a friend received a letter addressed to Mr A C, near the hospital, Ballymena.
my mom is in final stages of dementia -- very very sad -- she was soooo lively and fun!
bye for now. bbl
bbye hego :(
haz, a friend of mine sent me a card from England addressed to my name and "cute house on Stokesmont Rd, Nashville, TN" . . . and I got it! LOL
bye hego, I'll prob. be here later
See, who needs addresses?
we have only one mailman, er woman, for the whole town. if i've run out of stamps, Connie will take my unstamped mail and leave me a note to reimburse her for buying my postage
too cute, ADHD!
Thankfully, my mother is still here
my mom's still in the same small town -- sometimes I'm digging in her yard when the mail lady drives up, and I share bulbs with her! :-)
hello, does anyone have a list in their profile?
ahh the benefits of living in a small town
i do, peri
my mom was just a few yrs older than me when she died. i'm orphaned now. and up for grabs.
ty Une, will get it
gremlin has a list
but then you are separated from civilisation
aw, ADHD . . .
gotta go for now -- loved the chat! BBL! *poof*
Bye Une.
be well, Une
bbye Une
playing babble, enjoying a fire and a snowstorm, watching bbc's How Clean is Your House... what could be better than that
by une
oh and playing Words with Friends on my itouch too
BR um... you are not a member of the elite?
and the laptops are charged in case we lose power
help with sy8 pls
any chance of some 7 word clues please....I only have 5....and am struggling!
Good to see you back here, ADHD .... you have lived a bit
Which do you have, Flask?
tx BR... been a ruff couple of years. glad to be back
I suppose I may be an elite ambivalent
but if you lose power ADHD won't you lose connection?
de7 think dictionary
only if the phone goes out
well I couldn't think of the word for when you get premium
I have de...fe...re...me..
but if the electricity goes out here my modem doesn't work
fe7 what yeast does
er 7....think fur
er7 - as worn by the people in the House of Lords (plural for 6)
ok
hellllo
we have a generator and it's wired to the master bedroom outlet, the freezer, fridge and well pump
There are a couple of re7 - one to do with sugar or oil, the other to create something new, or to make something better.
in7 - in plus fork prongs.
Hello Ata!
oh ok that's great... no generator here
My electricity only goes out if chaperoned
I'm babbling between reading EU consultation papers and trying not to laugh at husband who has Very Bad man flu
in7/44 - gives out news, lets people know what's happening
in7 makes aware
lol babrab
Very bad man flu might mean quarantine?
he even had to go to the dr
me7 did I me***** that I'm glad to be back here?
That's certainly grounds for quarantine.
ok I have thoseones
we bought a generator last year when we lost food due to 3 day outage. we're kinda rural and the last to be put back on the grid if something goes wrong. I like it when we don't have power sometimes.. makes me read more
are grounds for quarantine part of the civil law for a pre-divorce?
oooo hopefully!
the dr gave him anti-bios, even though he hasnt got a temperature, has had a cough for 2 days only, and didn't tell him what was infected
okay. time to dive into the babble pool. *dons diving mask, suit, flippers and tank* 1-2-3
too cold for swimming ADHD
bye ADHD! have a nice long snorkel!
Hi everybody!
how's the grid?
the grid is akin to a boogaloo down broadway
It's moderately well-behaved.
good to know...;-)
hi your beachiness
Haz can u tell me the 2letter clues for the 5 am missing please?
(((oodle))) how are you?
Flask, I haven't finished yet, so I can't really help just at the minute. I'll give you a yell when I find some more.
I'm ok n u?

Sorry, thought you had!
No, nearly there.

Hello, Aloy.... pax
Hello, Aloy!
Hey Aloy!
Hi Aloy!

Hello, ruby.
hi ruby! hi aloy!

so am I
i thowwy
hello flask and haz and aloy
Hooray for veterinary drugs!
hooray for my babble friends who got me through this scary siege
I was afraid it was really a grave condition
SOMEBODY MAKE THIS SNOW STOP!
Well, you'll know for again, ask babblers first, worry later.
snow? we only had anotherr 8 in last night!
hi there, Judy.. long time no see, are you buried?
Judy, just enjoy it while it lasts
YAY MAX!!
just came back in from using the snowblower. Sidewalk is already covered in a new few inches
aloy, do you get stupid songs in your head that won't quit?
se7?please.
I get songs that were old when I was young!
Hiya Aloy. Getting nailed with this storm. We lucked out last weekend but not so now. :(
'fraid I do, ruby..
Aloy, the birdies aren't happy!
Judy where in PA are you?
'fraid I do will give me "Honey, 'deed I do"
ooh, I know, Judy.. oiled sunflower seeds ?
my husband has filled the feeder 3 times today
stop it, ruby... !
Schuylkill County seaspray. Are you at the beach (thinking that your name implies that)?
hi sea
sunflower seeds in the feeder on the deck (which I can't get too now :() and a mix in the feeder in the bedroom window
nut mix on the patio
I could drive you crazy! hahah
no, i am 5 miles below the PA line in MD we got blasted Saturday with 25 inches and now have another foot so far
Hi ruby
what hapens now, ruby? does the vet see max again in a bit?
*sends a snowblower to seaspray* so sorry seaspray not fun to dig out is it still snowing?
judy are you a passive birdwatcher (like me), stealthily watching them through the window? The birds here are all different from my US life list and I keep a guide by the window in front of the feeder
se7 - dispatched, a vowel, a shortened word for Miss O'Hara or Mrs Mowlam or a minute.
my birds are having a ball unde the feeder, they are sliding down the snow bank lol
hi your rubiness
hi judy
still snowing, blizzard like conditions this afternoon
Flask - there's another 7 for you, se7 clued below.
yes, we'll talk on the phone and she'll be back in about 10 days. Ruby doesn't seem to have the problem and behaved like a real scamp
wow Ruby--lucky you to see new life birds. I've been birdwatching for quite some time now. The ones I see in my yard are the usual fare but I've done some trips throughout US and gone birdwatching to add to my life list
just got thanx....now am down to 4
hiya Oodle
Haz, ty
You're welcome.
I've added about 25 new birds including my first cuckoo which I was hearing off and on for months, but one day in landed in front of the window
hi oodle
sm7 - what dying embers and femmes fatales do.
what is a cuckoo?
awwww ruby! but yay for max, he must be feeling soooo happy
thanx Haz
which cuckoo was it, Judy.. wow!
Great clue, Haz
Ruby, which cuckoo did you see? I've seen them at Cape May, NJ
Have seen them both, but very rarely
Thanks, BabbleRabble.
A cuckoo is a crazy person. I often have them landing on my windows, too.
Hello, all.
lol, Vicuna.. and hi
Hey, BR. Want some snow?
Hi Vicuna
Hiya Vic
ROFL Vicuna
scrolling back for Haz's clue..
hi vi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haz am not getting the last part of the clue for the se7
I have no idea what kind it was, but it was certainly bigger than all the other birds and had a long tail. I'll look it up and post it later.
Well, hello to you, too, Ata! =)
k Ruby
Good afternoon all - taking a tea break so of course ehaded to babble :)
Hi Ata!!
The sevens are de7, de7, do7, er7,fe7, in7,in7,me7, re7,re7,se7, sm7
Hiya Mitch
Hello Vicuna!
And FM!
yay, ty Haz for the se7, another great clue
The snow at the sides of the roads are higher than the cars .... intersections are interesting
Hello, FM!
hello FM
You're welcome, Aloy.
Sea Spray, one of the three stooges. Hi again everyone
thx Haz for the list of 7's
FM is here? hooray!
Hello all !!! How nice to see so many babble buds at the same time.
for the ending of the se 7
Hi FMitch
cuckoo is a person??? I thought it was a bird that tells time... gee
ty got it
You're welcome, Ciocia, hope Flask gets it.
FM!!!
Yikes, BR. Did you get more snow from this storm that is in the East right now?
Ruby glad to hear re Max.
we have a field above the house with wildlife I can hear and smell, but never see
LOL Oodle
only 8 inches
thank you FM, I'm sorry that I acted like a cuckoo!
thanx Haz for those!
you love Max.
ah well, cuckoos are lovely birds
You're welcome, Flask, sing out if you need clues.
FMitch, your cross stitch piece is very pretty
there are foxes, snakes,, wild boar
yes, it's lovely!!
Thank you Mom.
oops.. phone, brb
yes, even though Miss Ruby is my great love, he is such a sweet and gentle boy that it was heartbreaking seeing (and hearing!)him suffer
you cross stitch FM? I love cross stitching, have been for 30+ years
Lovely cross-stitch, FM. Lovely table setting, Haz. Ata, why don't you have a creation, hm???
It's amazing and beautiful all at the same time.
I think we're talking snow in feet here today not inches
Silverlcaw is my creation :D
I was just about to ask the same thing Vi.
She's nursing her ill husband.
just looked at your profile, it is beautiful!
aaargh, husbands!!!
Nonsense, young lady.
I know where that house is..
Sorry! You can't mention singing when Vi is here, nor husbands when ruby's here...
Seaspray I started embroidery when I was about 9 so that makes it about 40 years (god I feel old now) :)
You can't fool me. When Ata's husband is "ill" the most she does is scoff at him!
ok I'm jealous
LOVE counted cross-stitch but never seem to have the time to sit and do it. will take it up again when I retire. LOL
he's at desth's door
Hey ruru!
good point Vi!
Morning Ru
I protest I would like snow
I did a victorian santa many years ago which is my favorite
*running to get boxes to pack up snow for oodle*
hi everyone.
Hello ruru.
Hi Ruru
hi ruru
oodle, send your snow to whistler
good morning ru
Hi Mom!
I didn't know Victorian Santas could say "Ho"
and Hi Flosey
uh oh, Max needs to go out in the blizzard lol
ty judy...*waits with abated breath*
Hi Judy
hahah
wow big crowd in the chat today
FM, just checked out your icon.. amazing! Congrats on a beautiful job
anyway I took that pic of Sily, it's my creation!!
Victorian Santas probably spoke German, anyway.
pic of the cuckoo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cocc yzus-americanus-001.jpg
must go and deal with dinner, see you later
I now do free hand and machine embroidery after doing a course a few years ago - much more freedom, dye fabrics and then stich etc etc. Not that I have had much time in the last couple of years.
A mere technicality, Ata. But at least you have creations on your flicker photos, so I guess I'll cut you some slack.
WOW Mitch. that is a gorgeous cross stitch
Bye ruby.
have a nice dinner Ruby
Bye, ruby!
bye bye Ruby
fine fine *goes to look for something more creative*
bbye ruby
you are very kind Ciocia and good to see you, been a while.
(Yay! Nagging works!)
She's going to upstage us all. I can just feel the creativity flowing from Ata.
lol Vi :) How are the book sales going?
Thx Mitch. I do the grid every day but sometimes don't have time to chat
this snow day is giving me a chance to chat with everyone
Oh Ata's creations are wonderful, I have 2 hanging on my walls
Well, definitely more of a trickle than a torrent, FM! =) But luckily I am easily pleased. A dozen a month and I'm happy as a clam.
*grin* Vi Ciocia, just almost spilt my tea laughing at your icon.
(Admittedly, clams are quite stoic creatures. It's sometimes hard to tell just how joyful they are.)
better??
Right, must head off, I've got a few things I need to do. Nice to chat with you all - Bye!
well they seem pretty happin in some Disney cartoons
*gone*
Glad you like it Mitch!
nah, this was just a littley thing!
Awww, bye, Haz!
Bye for now Haz.
Bye Haz :(
bye Haz
but very pretty Ata
Yep, better! Lovely.

Hi Boobear
I never seem to be on at the same time daily. Just pop in and out as I can!
The good news is, no work today. The bad news is... we're getting buried in snow AGAIN!
Hello, boobear. IS that sculpture a creation of yours? Very cute!
brb.. coffee pot calling, lol
Hi boo!!
hi boo
5 more mins and tea break is over and I haven't entered a single word in the last 10 mins - I blame the chat :) Hi repartee
going to check the snow accumulation . . .
Hi everyone, too many to list. Hurrah!! The sun is out!!
Hi Rumple
Yep. I generally choose chat or word-finding, but I'm not too good at combining them!
I must say it is a while since the log moved this fast and my eyes are getting blurry.
I WANT SUN!!! Hi Rumple
got the sun here too and wonder if I should go out and get even more pics of the carnival
back for a few more;))
WE have had sun and snow at the same time today Ciocia
Hi Crossy
log on speed

lol Ata
snow and sun!!
howdy mom

(((FM)))
I am very excited about the snow we are getting!
Yikes Mitch. that's crazy
ty Mom!
Hello, hello, all you new arrivals.
{{crossy}}
where are you car??
Oh, car.e... shut up. ;-)
hi cross
Hi Crossy...how are you today? Any decisions yet?
((ciocia))
I am in Mass...we are due to get 1'
(((crossy))) hows monkey, are you still waiting for more results?
Judi! Freshy!
Judi, how much snow did you have from the last storm?
cross re: license i can exchange my license for a canadian with no problem... but one problem... where am I going to put the canadian once I get him/her :D
Where in MA, car? I'll be leaving soon to meet kids for early release from school.
25" from last storm. Expecting another 12 - 18" this storm. I just shoveled the driveway a bit. Barely made a dent.
Good heavens just checked the figures and we have gone up from about 120 on line to 177, no wonder the chat is suddenly full
well vic...I could tell you but then you might stalk me! No just kidding! Lovely Marshfield!
And you vic?
not that I am saying 177 people are chatting you understand that would be a nightmare
time for lunch. So nice to see all of you again. {{Hugs}}
ok mid US is gitting snow and we are not.. hmmmm NOT FAIR *POOUTS IN THE CORNER*
I did not, however, support the decision for early release/no school today. I think it was totally unneccessary.
Oh, Judi. That's a lot of snow to deal with. Thankfully, we only had about 8 inches last Saturday but it is a blizzard out there right now
I won't bother going to Marshfield to stalk you, car. Too far. I'm in Needham.
poouts is pout in canadian
LOL! NOt worth the drive, eh?
ok ok that was bad sorry
I agree. The kids had a field trip scheduled today, too, and it had to be cancelled. Much disappointment.
Our weather "experts" are telling us this will set a record for snowfall in Delaware. Oh joy.
poor ToG
fm,today we will know if there is any hope for a bit of pallative care or if she shoul be put to rest immediatly,an operation is not an option
judy may I start a lexulous game with you???
Oh Crossy....
Well, Judi, I always figure if you're going to suffer you may as well enjoy the bragging rights of a record for your trouble.
back. after shoveling i hardly have the strength to type
LO6? not the seed pod but the other1, please?
thatis ciocia judy
You have my sympathies, Crossy. Such a sad decision to make. ((((((HUGS)))))
Seed pod? I need that one too!
2 hours of 8 inces of heavy sleet sodden snow including the three packed feet from the plow at the end of the driveway
Hiya, TO!
Ooof, TO.
Hang in there, crossy.

*hugs hugs crossy*

FM has a list in her profile
It's easy, Aloy. One eye on the grid, one on the chat.
lol, Judi... a skill I have yet to develop
maybe i will give it a shot,,lol,,,thanks
TO, I was out with the snowblower around 10 and there was at least 6 or inches and the sidewalk is buried again. :(

You definitely got more snow with the weekend storm. How much snow are you supposed to get today?
bl
oh, we had 25 inches Saturday and today so far about 18 or so
it is definitely a blizzard
Yikes! Well, your doggie must be grateful that you shoveled a path, despite the meteorological adversity.
70 inches for the season they say
he is a little confused at the dead end lol
more coming this Saturday and Monday
That's funny! Gotta go now. Have a great day!
take care Brookie and happy babbling everyone

Hi all - how's everybody?
spell check, ty
cool, the snow's only falling at a 45º angle now.
hi, everyone
hi dc - how much do you have on the ground?
it's all drifting, but there was 10 inches at 10AM
oh, total on the ground. that number is just now snow.
so, on the ground, what with melt, almost 30 again
Hi DC
and it's still falling
wow - how are people handling it?
mostly by staying home, and mostly by walking if need to go out.
Tom works tonight, so at 4, i'm going to go shovel out the CR-V
Good luck to you and Tom. Nothing on the ground here really - yet anyway
in Jan, i was in Cambridge, MA, where there was less snow on the ground than here, which rather shocked me.
hi all
hi, jmc
hi jmc - snowing there?
i escaped to Albany
did you hear that Baltimore banned non-emergency vehicles from the streets?
Yes, MA has been snow-lite this year, for which I'm thankful
oh, smart, jmc :)
We had tons last year. I don't miss it.
my sister and son say it's a bear
from my memories of living there, KrisE, i can imagine :)
I bet Baltimore isn't equipped for snow
had a meeting up here and at the very last second (had 5 minutes to pack) a group of us decided to leave a day early from DC
smart, airports are closed until at least tomorrow again.
so we got ahead of the storm last night and now are watching a very pleasant light snow
good thinking jmc - how's Albany?
drove up in my saab
*!* ta da *!* -- not quite as tough as yesterday, but only because it isn't as long!
technically in Old Chathem
nice, so you can get home when desired.
whoo hoo cyber!
congrats, nan :)
I never finished yesterday because of our sudden departure
woohoo nan!
hello hello hello ladies and gents

I just looked at radar maps for DC, Baltimore + Philly--impressive!
www.playbabble.com/?id=51181 (link to gremlinn's profile list)

ty cyber

A small part of me is sorry I am missing it

wtg hego
my house is very safe semidetached
I need the college room one
ohmygod, just got back from the grocery -- teenage boy ahead of me was buying 25 gallon jugs of milk (Starbucks ran out) -- he then proceeded to have the bagger put EACH jug in a separate plastic bag!!
that could be somewhat irritating
Don't cry Oodle, there, there.
i thought that was incite!
me to teenage boy: " on behalf of the planet, I would like to say that I am horrified!"
Good for you, Une
incite, instigate, etc etc
I hope they charged him for every plastic bag
what did he say?
you get charged here for them
that is an argument in favor of the dc law that makes you pay 5 cents for each plastic bag
i wish that were the case here, oodle
youwould think he could have just gotten cartons or crates
I can't imagine the reason for that.
but why do you need plastic jugs of milk in plastic bags in the first place????
for all the bags, I mean.
well it is not working in the maritimes... people are complaining about it
ok., need help with decision here... at least ten inches already, the birds are iin a frenzy at the feeder, and my cat Lucy is pestering me to let her out. what say you?
easier to carry une
me (again) to teenage boy: does Starbucks at least recycle plastic jugs? answer . . . "no"
Seriously .. the jugs HAVE handles
does lucy have a litterbox?
I don't mind I never use a plastic sack... I used my back pack
the jugs have handles!!
AAhhh
let the cat out she wont stay long enough to eat the birds
Say no to Lucy
but you can carry 5 bags in one hand
aren't 25 gallons of milk too heavy to carry for one person in any case?
but I bet you can carry more in plastic bags than by the hangle of the jugs
i always have a canvas bag full of canvas bags in hand!
great minds jmc
aaaaccckkkk!!! don't make excuses for him!!
I have nylon bags in my purse so I can make an impulse stop at the store
I love my canvas bags for shopping.
hursh, he was loading them into his car -- probably a big SUV!!!
but that is why he did
Me too
I am just saying une that there may be some logic not that he was right
yes lucy has her pick of two litter boxes, but the call of the wild runs deep within her
I made nylon bags for people's purses for Christmas
but you'd have to make multiple trips between the checkout line and the car either way, right?
All cats, Dorens
i have these lovely string bags that are so tiny but hold enormous emounts
that of god bla-dee-bla-dee-bla
good afternoon, babblers
two trips versus 5 trips
my cats do not feel the call of the wild. they just feel the call of the warm snuggly places
hi jbv
Hi JBV
Hi jbv
my dog hogs the heaters
hi jbv
I think you could do it in one with a shopping cart.
I may as well go back to be beating up ru since when I am nice every one snaps at me! lol
he wasn't carrying them to his car in the the bags -- he loaded them into 2 grocery carts, then rolled them out to the parking lot . . .
she'll open our bedroom door at night to sleep in front of the heater
hope everyone is warm and safe - the view from my window was beautiful this morning - white, white, white, fluffy snow - now i'm starting to worry....
no shopping cart when you unload
I just took a hot shower and am sipping hot tea now. Been snowing all day and plowman just cleaned out my driveway
Oh my, Une
branches bending low with heavy snow, power lines also drooping very low
I have a blanker on my radiator for my car
*cat
my car has to take care of itself
Just what you like Scrabs
we let the dog run outside a bit with all the snow on the ground. she ran out and then ran back in
where are you JBV?
Poor Saab
no wonder she didnt like it, she's a 5-pound chihuahua :D
i mean we have plowing and shoveling going on right outside the window... are my cats curiously perched looking at this? no, one is sleeping on my foot, one is sleeping in my arm. i don't know where the third is but i bet she's sleeping!
help with the bottom N plese
central NJ - it just started to snow heavily again, after a break this morning
sleeping cat=cat
no6
that saab did fi** getting me up to Albany hego
yes the weatherman said the school districts there closed school for a week
no 6 - females?
Good old Saab. :-)
Yep, that worked, JBV
yes jbv
now the retreat center has asked me if they can borrow the saab to pick people up at the airport
considering what happened in RI two winters ago, the school closings make sense to me
we already had Fri and Mon as scheduled holidays, so if schools are closed tomorrow, I will end up with 6 days off!!
ooo great clue jbv! ty
My car is totally pampered. Attached garage.
what happened hursh?
attached garage = multi-millionaire in DC
Don't live in the city jmc
out in a township
going to fire my monkeys and I just gave them a bunch of bananas
a storm that came on faster and heavier than expected. when they finally dismissed the schools, everyone working had decided it was about time to get home also, and the roads were totally clogged, so the plows couldn't get through. many people abandoned their cars, and some children were stuck on buses until like 11:30 at night.
no but I do -- did you see my icon the last few days with my saab buried in snow?
Where is SG? Are you ok, SG?
omg thats terrible
I remember that hursh it was quite the scandal
yes, I sure did.
I remember a day like that years ago, we kept waiting for an early dismissal that never came, then took our lives in our hands, driving thru horrible road conditions
I remember that here jbv
i was lucky, as my route home was treacherous but uncrowded. i just went slow and took twice as long, but other than that didn't have any trouble.
hello all
Hi TO
Hi TO
hi Owl
I need one more C. I have cl5, cl5, cl6, cl5 and cl6

TY, Bichon--twisty word
Are any clues up yet?
i should just amuse myself by baking, made a special trip to get flour in the grocery madness yesterday.
yw
Owl, is the snow coming down hard + fast?
yes faster than i can shovel
have a cuppa TO and let the snow take care of itself
You are experiencing a typical Buffalo winter. Actually you/DC/baltimore are beating us in snowfall
DC area is has had the 3rd most snow in all of U.S. this winter.
Maybe after this storm we will be No.!
No.1
It's very weird here in Middletown, CT. The temp is over freezing and it hasn't started sticking to road surfaces
no blizzard winds yet
they have been terrible in DC I understand
s
k
is there a list?
i would up load a photo but my phone only allows me to phone them to another phone
BR or grem
Hello Babblers.
Hi Soodle
unless i use work phone they would probably fire me
phone it to me and I can email it to you
Hi Soodle
hi soodle
ok je will look i do have your # i think
I fireworked a while ago... how do I put the list in my profile, without putting the words in (perish the thought)
do you want me to email my number?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzz
Soodle, at least 2 people have posted lists
*pokes oodle*
WAKE UP!!!
*gets a bucket and begins to fill it with cold water*
WAKE UP QUICK!!
Oh good, Scrabbs. Anything complicated would clafuster me right now. But, I am here to clue, if needed.
*dumps the bucket of cold water on jmc*
*throws cold water over oodleberry's head*
LOL
oodle it is cold here! now I will have to get a towel!
nice preemptive stike oodle
You 2 better dry off. It's cold.
i have icicles in my hair
*hands oodle her wet towell* you can use this now
preemptive stike or strike?
sorry TO did you get splashed?

yikes!
NEVER!
she started it
Oh Gosh
owl... snow comin down hard and you were bareheaded?
Good for JMC!

JUST because i was filling a bucket with cold water didn't mean a thing!
:-P
wa wa wa
yep
I was checking DC TV station web site, wusa9
doren flying to sanibel for long weekend?
no owl... the rates were very high and it just didn't make sense. so i'll stay here and play in the snow, i guess
that will teach you to fall asleep on us. HAH!
*waves at saab driving away*
babblers...i just read how favorable the rates are to visit iceland now. anyone game to travel with me in the spring?
Bye Saab
:-(
have wanted to see for a long time
I could kayak around Iceland.
I gots too many trip already this spring TO
je did they tow your car?!
I'm going to make some nice beef stew. hagd All.
i want to bathe in those hot springs at the foot of the glaciers, with snow all around
no the retreat center borrowed it to pick up someone at the airport
TO! Much as I would like to meet up with fellow babblers, I have seen quite enough cold weather this year! Why not Barbados, or someplace warm....
Bye hego
you can do that in Banff TO
why not use limo?
li4 = in grid
no it must be iceland, i must see the land that prduced bjork. seriously.
b/c that would put you in the PB, TO...:)
mmmm beef stew -- since I am at a Quaker retreat center it is going to be tofu and legumes tonight
however a trip to costa rica now would also be good
Yummy, Je
where are you je?
costa rica I could write that off as a business trip
I am just outside of Albany TO
really?
I need a break. 86 to go.
lots of quaker enclaves in costa rica
bet we have more snow than you do.
bye scrabs
later scrabs

ty vi and hi!
Hello, all!
Hello, jmc.
hi vi.
*sighs* Someday, maybe someday, I will learn to type "in the" correctly.
my little sister is in PA. they got 28, 2 feet comming and another storm on sat.
i did not know that vi. how educational is this game!
where sue?
Phili
nm vic i typed it that way too
what, another storm in Phila on Sat? I think I will kill myself, just kidding :)
any help of those o words? forgot to add the one or5 to my list. need two mo4
Morning everyone. TOwl - missing or *3 5/4/5
Indeed, TO. We should be able to earn advanced degrees : I'm a BD - Doctor of Babblology
okay if another storm comes on Sat. how will i (a) get back to DC and (b) get the tents for haiti mailed to miami?
hi lynxxx
hi folks
hi peri
peri I am with you
missing one fo 5
ty lyn!
people in DC now great strangers with "I am so over snow"
don't yo mean PhB?
hi science
:-) TO lol
No, PhB would be a Boctor of Philosophy. lol
or maybe PhD B
aackkk
Hi everyone
I like PhD B better
hi brookie
I need the school room do8 pls
I just found the 6
Of course, it isn't so much fun, but I'm sure it would just be a plain PhD. I mean, all the normal PhD subjects don't get their own letters.
hi jmc!
Hi Brookie!
:-( well we can do it the way we want in Babbleland University!!!!
hi brokie
causing sleepiness, Sue; add consonants to the golf term
Hi Lynxxx! Mr. Australia arrives in 2 days! Yippeeee!
you snowed in yet brookie?
or brookie
True enough, jmc. Let us remain untrammeled by mere convention.
who is mr australia?
precisely
hi TO, and I mispell my name all the time, haha
do I not ask nicely
I Hope for your sake he is a Mr Australia - that would be nice!
Very snowed in. Worked closed today.
do I let spelling rules interfere with me? No! Never!
Mr. Australia is my friend from eHarmony who is flying out to meet me.
seriously?
ooo that could be cool
Wow, I hope it's a grand success, Brookie!
Completely seriously. He figures, if we're going to try to have a long-distance relationship, we should see if we get along in person!
you do not ask nicely what sue?
Thanks vicuna
wow. i ditchhed eharmony
am thinking of match.com now
eHarmony wasn't too harmonious for you?
Sue, i clued...
And, before any other Babble singletons put their spoke in, I have already asked Brookie to keep any eligible brothers or friends for me....
I ditched eharmony because when i answered that religion was important in my life they kept hooking me up with born-agains
Match.com is better for females in that there is a greater percentage of males 70/30%, where it's the inverse with eHarmony.
JE ME TOO!
Maybe eHarmony and Match.com should just throw their pools together.
Great idea!
like the only people who are serious about religion are born again christians????
it's as if fundamentalism was the only way to be religious
I had to play with the parameters quite a bit to get matches that seemed well-suited.
lo 6/21 plz I have the pod
Oooooh, pet peeve of mine, too!
see TO we are twins! *giggle*
JE GET OUTTA MY HEAD! *dons foil cap*

ty mix and hi
I've got several in my secret laboratory, jmc. SHould I be donning one now?
Hi jmc!
TO what are you upset about now?
sy = trangression spelled differently + Patsy *****
you better or she'll get indise your head, too!
can I have hints on the 8's please and thanks
absolutpositively vic
sy think of a word for transgression + Patsy
Ooooh - look at b
kris, I cant work it out
trespass doesn't fit. Thinking....
*selects the model 31XL4 and adjusts it carefully*
maybe I dont have the right golf term
Hic. Ooooh Look at Brookie - Mr Australia en route, and already she is thinking transgrressions....
another 8 is do8/50
do6.24 is that the one
ok, goign to take a few photos
I've been thinking of transgressions for many, many years. Just will have more opportunity to walk my talk now.
I met my fiance on Plentyoffish.com
sy 8 - geological term not an sy + cons + cl5/12
save me dear lo** for I am a sy*er
was he nearbt sue?
ty jcm
plentyoffish? is that local or national?
that's awesome, sue! How long have you been together?
And yet they kept matching you with born-agains? Amazing! ;)
Yay Brookie! I like your style!!
bye TO stay warm -- wear a hat!
brookie you are going to post pics when he gets here
sue - college room + 2 vowels + Lord of the Rings Tree keeper
Bye, TO!
cute vic!
I'll post everything but the video.
sorry - college room + 1 vowel + LOTR tree keeper
the problem I have with these sites is that the men my age all want to meet someone 10 to 20 years younger
email me your #
*sends brookie "protection"*
You should sell your story to Dachef, Brookie. he will write a book about it!!
okie TO
jmc, that seems to be the issue with men even outside the internet.
Will strongly consider your advice, soodle. How are you, by the way?
thanks jmc for the protection.
I am very well, Brookie, and just dying to hear about your 'meet'
anyone have the so 6?
true brookie
with the 8's have 2 do and 1 sy anyone have the 4th please and thanks
so6/21 - used in fastening metals together
Well, he'll be here for a total of 2 weeks, so expect to receive plenty of updates!
I have an army guy minus a vowel
they also want people who look on a scale of 1 to 10 better than they do
another fish thanks vicuna
hello babble friends! just here for a quick few moments, but did want to at least say hello....hello!
missing one D two M's and two L's
Most people think they want certain things, and end up finding happiness with other things entirely.
speed - in8
hi Trif
Honestly, jmc, I put up not the greatest photos of myself on eHarmony. I wanted men to communicate with me because of what I wrote in my profile.
Hello, Trifioso.
thanks KrisE will look
Very wise observation, vicuna
hello!
hi trif
THeres an in 8/60, speed, and Hi Trif ((()))
you can look in the manilla thing that holds paper
I think that's smart, Brookie. Best to eliminate up front all the ni6's who care only about looks.
thanks would not have thought that was one word but this is babble
kids got off early today due to the storm, and if tertiare catches me babbling there will be hell toupee!
Huh, how about that early release, Trifioso? *bitter bitter!*
yes, it was a bit silly, given that all we have had so far is rain and a bit of snow....getting worse now, though
oh trif kick tertiare in the pants and say "I am the grown up and I can play games if I want to. So there " :-P
Vi as a teacher I loved early release today since it also counted as a full day and no make up
one of my students at work stayed home, so I only had one kid to work with, and thus got off early also. Mind, I only get paid when I work....
nice for you speed
roger, jmc, will try that! :)
lol speedfreak. As a teacher I hated (unplanned) early release because it totally messed up my lesson plans!
don't forget to stick out your tongue or it looses the whole effectr
do feel bad for the superintendant since no matter how they call it parents are going to be mad
well, I am trying to get stuff done today, also. can't blame it all on the terti
se6,24?
Yeah, I don't envy that job.
i usually was made because they would wait to the last minute to call it so I could never plan
se6/24 - not often
I need that one too
ty vic
6 left
If they'd waited til the last minute here then it wouldn't have been early release at all. We have yet to see a flake stick on a paved surface.
go science!
ty. vic. Fireworks.
they let us know yesterday before we left so that was nice...however if they have a delayed opening tomorrow they told us we still need to report our regular time as long as it is safe!!!! If the kids have a 2 hr delay it is stupid for us to sit there
Yay for mixi!
Yay mixi6
huzzah for mixi!
whoo hooo mix!
i quit I cannot see them
That is weird, speedfreak.
Where are you, speedfreak?
what's up science?
Kingston Mass where are you Vi
(btw it is you turn)
missing 6 one d one s two m and two l
I know I shall go play now
missing what?
I'm in Needham.
Didn't know where Kinston was, but I just looked it up and we're pretty close.
did you look at the list in grem's profile?
speedfreak, seriously? I had no idea you lived so close!!! Norwell, here!
whooo hoooo meet up in Boston!
Think I knew that Tri from aknitter (is she related) my sister plays too, she is read,knit,bake and lives in Hanson Mass
There are actually a ton of us around here, jmc. But we've never had a meetup -- or at least, if the rest of them did, they didn't invite me! lol
I'm in Watertown...
oh, this is so cool! Aknitter is a cousin to me, Kadresa and car.eeyore. They live in Plymouth, Duxbury and Marshfield at the moment
we really should try to get together this summer it would be fun Vi we did not meet without you unless I also wasn't included....
Sciencegeek - Are you still there?
I definitely vote for a Boston meet up!
soodle, you can fly over and bunk at my house!
Now how come none of you ever come to my Open Studios when I invite all MA Babblers? lol
I would definitely head to Boston and meet with everyone
vicuna, I did have your last one on my calendar, but something happened, and now I forget what it was....
Can I come too??
I think we should have a meet up on a beach somewhere, speed, like White Horse, or something, and then everyone could come and play!
lol, no problem, Trifioso, I'm just being obnoxious!
I love Boston -- I spent a lot of time there when my husband was in Mass General
I will be there in spirit
OK, Je, i played
Of course, jmc! The more the merrier!
hi DR
Oh Trif - the minute I win the lottery I will be straight over!!
yeah!
Hi Jmc
ty science
JMC you are completely and totally welcome anytime! I have loads of room, and will just keep squeezing babblers in, like a big ol' clown car
*imagines a clown car house overflowing with Babblers*
with all of us on the south shore we could fit all the babblers in our houses what fun
In fact, when (note the WHEN, not if) I win the lottery - all babblers will be invited to a big Babble-In!!
you are killing me in that game science
I would love to win also soodle but never seem to buy the ticket
which game, jmc?
I would probably drive up -- although I do like to take teh Acela!
lexulous trif
ah. ty jmc
Oh, Speed. If the Lottery people gave me back all the money I have given them, I would be able to go Iceland with TO, and half a dozen other places :(
Come to meeting with me and you can write off that trip, too. ;)
i usually manage to play one word a day in each of my games but I am playing fuqua, science, dorens, pini and a babbler i can remember who it
oh there is no where in the U.S. that I can't find a strong business reason to visit vic!
the lottery is the tax on the mathematically challanged
I was grooving on that funny farm game for a while, and the other two versions of it as well, but I got completely stuck, and haven't been able to move on, so I sort of gave up. The only way around it is to cheat by looking up other people's games, and what is fun about that?
man, it is REALLY getting windy here now! If I should disappear suddenly, trust that the electricity has blown
you can find a walk through that will give you a word or two at a time and get going again trif
JMC, or else, it takes the place of rohypnol! I send myself to sleep thinking about what i would/could do!
I am sending sunshine to the East Coast
well i am glad you get your money's worth out of it soodle
yay. cr-v shovelled out. :)
was thinking the same thing tri about the power just made sure I had candles ready and what lights I have on the wind just seemed to really pick up
i'm back
Hello, dcseain.
did you hear we had an earthquake in chicago this morning?
okay, I am gonna be preemptive and sign off now and shut the comps down....take care all, and those of you in the storm belt, stay warm and safe!!!
whooo hooo dc!
hi, vi
No, really, Good Enough?
Mind you - my investment is minimal, but, I still subscribe to the 'if your not in, you can't win' theory!!
really good?!?!?!!??!
hello, DR, soodle, jmc. trif, GE, speed, et al
Yes Good- are you ok?
Hi DC
bye trif
Bye, Trifioso!
back and emailed you a photo je
hello dc, just on my way out, but a warm greeting to you!
Bye Trif, and Hi Dcseain
glad it was a gentle one, Good
it was only a 3.8 at 4am. i slept thru it but my kids woke up
be well, trif
wb, TO
have 50 left if we don't lose power I will be back later want to cook something to eat before that happens....
njoy, speed
Good thing it was small. Goodness knows we don't need any more major disasters.
Bye, speedfreak.
hello dr
Hi TO
how are you today
i am snow, snow weary
with you there, TO.
did you get the photo back TO?
and more to come Soundy/Monday. Weee!
I feel for you believe me.... it looks horrible
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I need to pick up tents!!!
so, hurry home Saturday, JMC
the people in Haiti are counting on me! :-(
pick up from where?
from Deer Creek MD just north of Baltimore
I am suppose to meet people there at 2 pm on sunday and pick up 10 tents
willl check brb
the wind is fierce, and kicking up snow like a sand storm.
that should be doable, i think, JMC
just came in from shoveling my walk.... there's no wind here at all.. at least for now
I sure hope so dc
photo is blank je
we've had 30-45mph wind all day.
Tom's going in to work early tonight. I hope he can make it back in the AM
thankfully no wind here
he's taking extra clothes, in case.
the snow fell horizontally here most of the day.
damn let me try again TO
ok joiners, still soliciting folks to go to iceland with me this spring
would that we had the money, TO
Iceland???
TO, I think you'd better ask again when most people aren't over their heads in snow.
Greenland is the icy one, Iceland is the warm one with volcanos
vi does have a point there/
it is cheap now. their economy is crap and they have lowered prices
well, warmer one
which is why i want to go now
true vic going to someplace named Iceland does not appeal right now
but in the spring
makes sense. Have you checked out the Iceland Air package deals?
ni 6/36 plz
not yet. need to just do it and go it alone
you might get takers for Hawaii right now... lol
i remember years ago when it was the cheapest transatlantic fare, and folks flew to iceland and then took off from there for london, paris, etc
i don't have it yet, sixty7, but i'm looking
sixty - n + I beg to d*****
a dog who constantly smells things might be called a s******
thx dc
well i am up for anywhere warm right now. that is what credit cards are for
thanks, krisE
hi dorens
ty dorens
my hot tub, owl
thx KrisE & Dorens
well lets have a big meet up in Boston
yvw
sorry, i don't do hot tubs
Boston sounds warm to me
i'll be there the weekend after next
Lickety doesn't have the same puzzle as this one. Has anyone else put up a list?
TWINSSS!!!!!!
oh, that sense of smells. i thouht you meant stinky, dorens LOL
uh oh....first wind has arrived.
Boston is above freezing. That's sort of warm!
BR and grem
new information in profile....
Boston is warmer than here, and was warmer in Jan when i was there , too.
oh, sorry to hear crossy :(
Oh Crossy, I am so sorry
sorry for your loss crossy {{{{hugs}}}}
Boston is often nice and sunny in the winter, too. (Not right at the moment, admittedly, but often.)
oh, sorry for your loss crossy
sorry crossy
true that, Vicuna
I can show everyone my husbands great-grandfather's bust in the statehouse
Oh, I'm sorry about that, crossy. =(
I am so very sorry for your loss Crossy - that is hard
So sorry, crossy
So sorry, Crossy
lol, jmc. Maybe we need to write a travel guide to Babbler-related points of interest around the world.
sniff..must be pollen in the air today,my allergies seem to be bothering me..ty all
not such a bad idea vic
*hands crossy a hanky*
what a lovely tribute.
Cool idea, vic
It could also include where you go to see inias and tahrs. And of course Etna would get a mention.
don't forget where to see tapirs
and nene
and tenrecs...
Hmm... the nene stop would be pretty popular around now!
TO check your email now
quite so, as would the tapir one.
Actually, all but the tahr are warm, I think.
I honestly do not think I know 8 more I words
L or i?
i
So start typing the ones you don't know, Mom! lol
lol!
:)
LOL, welcome, Mom
Hi Seain, JMC, and Vic
I am still so so** from this weekend I am glad I have someone else shoveling my house to feed my cat
hi mom
thanks jmc, I didn't have that one
hi mom
TO, hello.
se 6/18? I have the Tongan coin...
ty jeevil msn blocked the image at first
well if you will use msn. . . .
sorry Kris, I don't have it
would love to take more
se6 - homophone of one part of Congress
glad it worked
hungry, time to think about dinner. that was my yard btw
?? maybe I have that? - the old house?
i put it on fb
no - I got it thanks Vic!
great!
it was a very nice pic!
i want one of me in front of the snow pile i created
ok bb after i begin dinner
bye TO
njoy, TO
Bye, TO.
just got back, what happened crossy?
bye TO
see profile peri..we had to let her rest
so very sorry for your loss, rip Monkey
crossy, have you heard of the poem Rainbow Bridge?
hmmmm there is a kid shoveling my driveway. not wanting to pay after i did the bulk of it what to do?
oh TO give him a couple of bucks
he should have asked first Owl
I agree - he should have asked first
or you can give him a few bucks
no i have not peri..but the text i used there is borrowed from another
you would think if he wanted payment he would have knocked on the doorfirst. Maybe it is an act of kindness
one should not assume anything
i think one of the ones who did it on sat - i know je but still snowing and also would not have bothered to do the 1.2 hours earlier
perhaps. i mean i would give him something but not the 30 i paid saturday
I'm stuck at 154 words. Is there a list anywhere yet?
so that is why you don't pay the regular fee you give him a couple of bucks and say if you want reall $$ ask first
oh no, not since you have done the bulk of the work
lol we should truck this snow to vancouver!
look on BR or grem's profile mudd
ok my stomach is wanting to eat, i guess it is the exercise. or maybe the relzxation of being off

jmc, I'm serving at 6:30
seain, how much snow did you get. is it still snowing where you rae. it is still snowing here :(
lol jmc,tonight is bacon and che ese perogies with sourcream and chives
thinking of paying someone to shovel when the snow stops
*are*
lol kris what you having -- maybe I should drive over there
about 10 more inches. it seems to have stopped, but with the wind, it's hard to tell, as it's a fine snow
brown rice and spinach bake - untried recipe
among that 10 was a layer of ice
I am serving as soon as I get off my butt and go fix something. Just me for supper tonight
brown rice, spinach, spaghetti squash, mozzarella
*sigh* I wonder if any of my bushes will survive
yummy, KrisE
common over mom for perogies
and I think it will need a LOT of seasonings.
thank you Crossy.
I suspect you are right Kris
try nutmeg --- it goes wonderfully with spinach
It looked like such a good recipe on Friday when I planned this week's food
whoo hoo my car is back!
I am tired of this grid, need another break.need to move somewhere warm or at least a place where I do not need to shovel. an apt or condo would be nice
I keep whole nutmegs and a grater around just for dished lke that kris
bbs
but then someone will walk on your head peri
I was thinking of about 1/2 cup of Italian seasoning :)
apt or condo does not mean no shovelling if parking is at ground level :)
bye per
tommorow is mexican style rice with big chunks of mennonite farmer saussages
I'll add onions and peppers
and i hint of nutmeg, too, KrisE
shrooms too
yum crossy
gives Peri a book and a warm quilt to snuggle in and a nice fire in the fireplace
onions and garlic go in everything i cook automatically
yes - staples!
I don't like oregano with spinach and that is the main ingredient in "italian" seasoning
true
crossy you have to stop making sausage out of mennonites
just because they don't fight back is no reason to grind them into sausage
lol, jmc! (Just got back from supervising piano practice.)
there were a few youngish mennonites at the bus station in DC yesterday. In the end, the walked over to Union Station.
they are made BY mennonites,not WITY mennonites
lol
with
oooo never mind
;-)

I just got an email from our niece her 18 yr old Marine son is deploying to Afghanistan and she wants to know a good internet provider over there does anyone know?
west, there's only satellite, and only one or two available.
thanks seain I'll let her know
more than that, i know not.
I"m sure the Marines will have the info but she's his mother and wants to get him a laptop
most i know over there use post internet, or DOD internet if on ship
gone are the days when loved ones waited weeks for a letter
any laptop with wifi should do him.
yes, the videoconfrences are AMAZING! so much better than was.
may he return safely.
thank you seain my thoughts exactly
18 years old is just a baby
they are evidently relatively new and there for have no history but it looks like they are out of Toronto. I think one of them was on American Idol but not sure.
thanks for looking it up ood I'll check them out on iTunes
I wonder if Simon is producing as he did with IL Divo
they have a nice song called Hallelujah... you can look it up on YouTube and that's what song they sung today on Oprah
okay, I will
That's a Leonard Chohen song
Cohen
another Canadian and one of my favorites
can't do this with out lickety...
I know- I really need Lickety
Even when someone posts a list, it's not the same
gremlinn put the list in his profile I heard
love tim buckley's version. hi kap
hi TO did you read what I did to my chicken breasts that were frozen?
HI- Justin Timberlake sang it for the Haiti telethon and did a good job
yes you can oodle, I'm down to 18 left
Leonard Chohen does he do 'closing time/"
I am partial to quartets and ensembles that sing acapello
Tom Waits has an old song 'Closing Time"
the Beach Boys are a barbershop quartet that sings about the beach
fricking word... how the hell do you spell it
I love TOm Waits
bichon I get very serious brain freezes
he does, crossy
that's a great description of the beach boys
a capella
yes LOL west
credit to my friend's daughter on that apt description.
dinner is served!
don't we all oodle, especial at my age
we saw a great group on our cruise they were called the Cat's Pajamas
yes what west said
damn italian words
lol TO are you having chicken tonight?
"Robert Diniro's playing, talking Italian...."
why isn't yesmen a word?
goes like "and the women tear thier blouses off, and the men they dance on the polka dots,partners lost and partners found,there hell to pay when the fiddlers done..its closing time..something like that anyways
sounds just like babble
amazing what burps up in your mind
not enough Es, kaplan
That's not TOm Waits...
you don't need 2 esses for yesmen where I come from!
dc are you keeping warm and are you all settled in just in case you can't get out to go food shopping?
yup its cohen.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVt6vhR Au3k
oodles, we've done a lot of shopping in between storms. Got Tom off to work today, after digging out the CR-V, and i'm eating something now.
thank you for asking
chicken cutlet sweet potato peas
seain you haven't had much 'in between storms'
yummy
we just had sweet potatoes and we're out of peas but chicken cutlets sound really good
oven fried w/ honey mustard to dip
ooh that sounds really good
always looking for new chicken recipes
prefeered chick parm but too lazy
ok... that's good did he get home safley?
I'm watching the news now and it really burns me that whenever there is a storm the first thing they cancel is meals on wheels
no recipe. just use progresso italian crumbs and freeze to set coating, thaw and bake
he just went to work.
he works nights
oh
is there a list anywhere please
holy snow storm batman...
regis, see Lickety's Babble Clues, link below the grd
I have italian bread crumbs what temp in the oven?
seain how far does Tom have to go?
6 miles. took him about 25 minutes.
regis there is a list in gremlinn's profile
dc it is yesterdays grid
thank you
oh, then go to Babbler's Anonymous
wow nice when it's good weather
under general is a liste
where is the link to gremlin's list
oh
look in rankings and click on his name
I don't see any
good afternoon, evening or morning, as the case may be, Babblers
it should be in his profile
yes, we chose where we live to be near both our jobs. though we plan to move this year.
moving is a royal pain unless you find a super place
then it's worth it ( almost )
need help, please - the er5/10 - any clues at all??
hi bo
hi west
to wear away
oodleberry...go to http://tinyurl.com/yh9t7ag
add vowel to er4
hi, bo
start with the god of love and add a vowel
hi dc
thanx west - thought i'd taken a shot at that---
yw bo
getting a bit of snow here,but most of the storm passed well south of us
hi crossy. how's the kitty?
see profile jes;(
aww. i'm sorry
west: 350 best, mypreference is on the thinner side about 3/8 in . use non stick or release foil, oil, siwsh in oil to lightly coat both sides. begin with 12 min per side. this should give you a crust and can't give exact time for doneness , depends on thickness
ty..she went into severe distress youwling and blood freely running out of her..was not good jes
crossy what was wrong with her?
colon cancer
no fun.
or you can spray with cooking spray if you have that, spray liberally
mine both died of cancer within a year of each other
thanks TO I like them thin too will try it tonight
no heart for another after that
went from nothing to fully developed in less than a mont
crossy I sent the write up to my daughter and granddaughter they just lost pets
not too thin. if you use spray spray pan too. even swishing in oil ( light oil) is less than frying and neater to clean up
im glad you like it westford and i hope it gives comfort to your family
and much healthier too
crossy it is amazing how quickly it progresses, perhspa because their life span is shorter
well im sure it was doing its thing unseen for a bit as well
i mean they wanted to operate and it would give her 3-4 months. not fair to her
I hope it gives you some comfort too crossy
not at all T.O,thats what we were facing
it's kinder to let them go peacefully, isn't it?
ok west hopes it works for you, it is hard to convey how to oil them. they won't be entirely coated, i use maybve 1/2 tsp for
indeed westford
was fast,under 10 seconds
little on meat snd the left behind on cookie sheet does the rest but no puddling
but very traumatic for you
ok enough of this,lets hear this recipie
I might just rub some oil on
you got it! crossy just hard to convey. i also oven fry pork chops. even if I am doing parmigiana later
ok be sure to smear the pan/foil
damn pollen,eyes are running again :/
stupid pollen, indeed
*asses crossy puffs*
sorry LOL Passes
/me thinks TO is missing the beginning of that...
aww ((((crossy)))
Westford, earlier several MA babblers were planning a Ma babblers getogether for this summer in Boston. Keep your ears perked
oh that would be so great inge
oh, cool, Inge
have car will travel!
trofioso (?) seems to be the leader.
if any of youwere here earlier, i never got a knock on the door. i think it was the kid from sat who shoveled. i see neighbors so infrequently it is a shame but i think may be the kid i helped when dog across the way came after his dog
are you buried in snow TO?
then it was an act of kindness, TO. How sweet.
oodle if you're still here I just listened to the Canadian Tenors and they are very good
westford. I see where you escaped the big blizzard for MA
we didn't get much snow at all but the wind is really howling up a storm
well actually i am. i took another photo but je has not yet uploaded it for me
Hi all - anyone from the Chicago area out there that felt the earthquake early this morning?
we've been very lucky ( knock on wood)
I saw that on the news babbz how scary was that?
they are aren't they west...
Hi Babbz, some one was on earlier and she said she slept through it but it would her children
EARTHWQUAKE??????
well, this is the first time a snow storm stopped in at Michigan. All the others went north or south of us
west now i am biting my fingernails hoping your chickens turns out well
It was weird, especially because you wouldn't think we're in the earthquake zone - but it was a 3.8 and isome people said it sounded like a sonic boom
they will TO I'm an excellent cook lol
i hope it was a little one babbz
that isn't a very good dessert, TO. Fingernails.
your instructions were perfect too
my dog was barking and I heard kind of a roar...thought my husband was asking me a question, lol!
can't beat it west for little lean up and fast
yikes babbz if we get an earthquake in little RI we'll probably just fall into the ocean
Clean up - seemt o be dropping my leading consonants today!
I knew what you meant lol
No, you can all swim out to CApeCod
Supper is callign. BBL
i also now bake my meatballs vs. frying them
bye Inge
bye inge
inge maybe you can visit your friend and come to the gathering too
True that, west. We had a bigger one back a couple years ago and that one rocked the bed - but weird never the less.
I bake mine as well, TO, they turn out so much better
i slept through two here
so do I 1/2 hour at 350
ooh this storm still looks impressive - massive and still churning
start with 12 min per side then check
mine is 20 minutes at 400. :)
Where are you, TO?
my niece lives in the chicago area I'll bet she was surprised
pa
the nicest part of meatballs in the oven is you don't have to stand at the stove and turn them
Some folks just slept through it, but a friend not far from here had everything on his wall fall off.
ok next town over got 16 "
and clean the grease splatters off the stove.
yes !!
You will probably get the storm we just had - we got about maybe 8 inches of snow - but didn't you just got dumped on the other day, too?
we were supposed to get snow from the west of us and from the south of us too but it must have gone out to sea
the famous nor'easter
You got lucky, West
we did
now if the wind doesn't knock down power lines we'll be all set
words are comming slow now;((
yes got snow fri/sat
we got three nor'easters in late fall too. elnino
now three in dec-feb
Saw pics on TV of Phily - they got clobbered.
only major storm we've had was just before Christmas and it wasn't even that bad
they got more than we did on sat but i think we got more today
The worst is the power going out...
sorry was watching youtube
when we lived in Westford up near the NH border we'd get 3 feet at a time
we got 22" dec 18
OMG West, that's a ton
ok now, I go to babbanon and do not see anything dated today
in the past 4 years we have had 60+ inches in the Phila area. this season we have had even more
Yikes. It's a pain, but there's something kind of exciting about a big snow like that
Blizzard conditions here til midnight
22 in not big. our big one was 30 in
Hi peri. Good luck digging out!
i cannot find gremlin's profile
if you watch qvc they are showing the snow
it was babbz they would deliver mail to anything at the end of the driveway our regular mail box was buried so we put out a turkey roasting pan with a cat litter box cover
I shoveled earlier today, 2x. too tired to do any more and it is still snowin. my bro-in-law thinks he is going to work tomorrow. we will see
all along our road were the most amazing contraptions
I have it oodle just a sec
there is a list in babanon also
don't find anything there
screw work that's what computers and cells are for. not to mention longevity.
Oh too funny. I remember the big snow of 1967 in Chicago - everyone had to tie ribbons on their car antennas so you could see traffic come at intersections, the snow was piled so high. People would walk in the streets with sleds to get groceries...on busy chicago streets.
he is a pharmacist
at a hospital?
no a major drug store chain
Heavy snow, too - at least it was here...but pretty.
I can't find it now someone posted the link a little while ago
when i worked in human services we had to be covered. aside from that, those who can get in get in. those who can't , can't
babbz there was a huge storm here in 78 I think and people did the same thing we were living in southern cal at the time
lol babbz,we used to live in a town called callander(8 hour drive north of toronto) when i was about 16 we had a storm that dumped 4 feet of snow and closed the town.all vehicled were snowboundfor 3 days everyone with a snowmobile would deliver food,perscriptions,and take doctors and nurses from home to work and back again...was wild
And people would put all this crap in the streets to save their parking spaces that they dug out. Lawn chairs, garbage cans, etc. It was the undoing of a mayor in Chicago.
wowsa, crosshair
lol saw in allentown today the streets dept g oing around with a turck collecting all that junk!
it's nice when people help each other
they can have a lawn party!
I"m grateful to be sitting inside a nice warm house
yeah, you hear good stories.
you can't blame people for wanting to save their spaces after spending hours digging them out
I know...it was war!
we had to climb up on houses to clear the sewer vents and the vents for gas appliances etc
carbon monoxide became a real peril
holy cow. Probably had to get snow off the roofs, too or they will collapse
So much for global warming, he?
my granddaughter went to after school day care at at church and their roof collapsed..luckily no one was there at the time
well we had a few days for that as it fell in a single blanket and had not compressed yet..big thing was digging peoples front and back door,cause the ones that opened outward could not get out easily
pfew.
li6/24 pls
ok i still have 24 left. time to babble or leave
another problem we had was when the snow started to melt in the Spring and saturated the ground..lots of flooded basements then
The last half of this grid is not coming easy for me, hence the chatting!
ooh west i dread the thaw if sudden
I bet.
I have 24 left too

Hi all. If anyone needs today's stats they're in my profile (and also BJ has posted them on BabAnon). My stats are followed by an amusing poem about the English language.
hi jacs
would you like to clue?
good evening, folks, checking in again - hope all is well out there
i can clue also for a while
hi jbv
how's your snow?
clue for fo 6 30 second one plesae
and Jac, thank you for the list! and about the poem - that is great - and is very very old.... I have a handwritten of a very similar version of that poem that was copied by my mother when she was in high school (in the 1930's!!)
it's still coming down lightly now, but I'm very worried about our trees, have lost a lot of branches already
so6/30 - to stir up trouble - fo + **** (i really me**** to do it)\
just got my phone call - another snow day tomorrow!
yes,branches are hanging low here. no wind htough
no the blizzard winds did not materialize, thank goodness, but the snow is very heavy, potential for power outage - but NO, I will not worry needlessly
phone service outgoing is very imtermittent
charge your cell phone while you can :)

congrats TO - good job
YAY, TO!!!! WTG!!!
whooo hooo TO
hi all
back from supper
hi jmc
hi bo and nef
anyone see wht today?
hi jmc. Are you surviving the snow?
i survived it by outrunning it -- I am near Albany
I was suppose to drive up here today but in a sudden decision yesterday I drove up last night just barely getting out before the worst of the storm
Hi jmc, I'm here.
Good for you! Going north to avoid snow is funny though
hi wht will I see you Thursday?
I'm planning do drive over tomorrow.
good -- its going to be a lively meeting
Deana will be with me.
how nice
what kind of a meeting is it this time?
Here they went and cancelled the schools and we only got a dusting.
it is a board meeting for an international quaker organization
at the last board meeting I sucked wht into babbleland!
well they got 10 more inches and 50mph winds in DC today
hi je,just finished
So who are you going to try to corrupt this time, jmc?
I saw TO wtg!
mmmmm how about deana?
maybe this time you will suck in others too! (We are so devious!) ;-)
I don't see norm or carol as likely
maybe john r. he has a dry sense of humor
who do you suggest?
Carol is an editor. So she has the interest in words.
true carol might like jill and ata
i think snow is winding down
so how about Carol, Deana, AND John R?
from your lips to gods ears TO
We can make it a cult.
I can't corrupt all of them at one time nef! lol
it isn't alraedy a cult?
the problem with carol is that she has to be taking the minutes
babble a cult?
well we have a secret language and people once sucked in are addicted
help with the i in the last column please for nbt
in 6 30 second one please?
You got there just in**** to beat the snow.
sort of like hug you in6 some one in your arms
do the same with the fork part.

A word that never see anywhere but Babble, but it shows up here all the time.
a word that exists primarily in a babble grid and not so much inthe real world
llike naoi and aalii
Does anyone have a clue for the in5/10?
since everyone is so helpful can someone list the 8's?
and that shows up with some frequency
do8/50x2
inia and etui are other good babblets
in8/60
sy8/55
do8/50
do8
do8/50x2
ty all will work on them. in5/10 like the veggie that makes you cry
hello
ty Mary. That is another good babblet.
hi chloie
hi
ni 6 24?
are you new?
i am reviewing music tonight btu with little enthusiasm. so may pop in to chat while listening until modern family is on
ohh ohh! stephen r donaldson is putting out a 4 book series that continue the six book thomas covenant series that he did in the 70,s and early 80,s..;) the last chronicles of thomas covenant;)..for those that know his work
yes
never heard of him
when crossy?
worth looking up
welcome to the grid then chloie
Welcome chloe
three books are out now and he is writing the 4th as we speak
ty
Has anyone heard from Lickety and his family?
the game is similar to boggle -- you can get valuable help from the help ^ above this box
science fiction?
that was a good series; I wonder how he will tie these in (and if that can be done after so many years?)
i dont know how to play lol
I saw at about 2 a.m. eastern a comment about family problems
read the help and then you can ask me for help chloie
Thanks, jmcnrick.
nef..he ties it in with linden avery and the son he had over there
yw peach
maddie has pneumonia
chloie, do you play either boggle or scrabble? This is a cross between the 2. There's a help page right above the chat log; but if you scroll down you will find the "Friends of babble" section under the 2 grids.
oh dear!
TO - any news on how she's getting on?
err decendent of the daughter i mean
or something like that
hi jac
i still have the original 6 book series i bought in 88
Sorry for disappearing. I'm back for a short while now. Can't stop too long because Ihave fasting blood tests at the local doc's at 9am.
for newbies, I think that AngelSong's Babble Page is the best resource around
np jac life goes on
jmc - eh?
oh ok i get it now thnks guys for helping me out
crossy, I read that series *many* years ago. I just remember how much I enjoyed it. I'll keep my eyes open for it now
the main trick is to when you find a word to find other words that rhyme with it and also to remember to add endings such as -ed -er and plural -es or -s
ok thnks
responding to your comment at 7:05
crossy - have you made those bacon muffins yet?
jmc - Oh, I see (re the post time etc.)
effin should be a word ..As in "I can't find any effin words."
and we tell people who put words in chat that they have to go to the Penalty box (PB); but it's got chocolate and all sorts of stuff there. ;-) We all manage to visit the PB every so often
works for me torg and hi
Torg - Hi and LOL.
sometimes on purpose do we go to PB
:-)
hi torg. Someone said that early this AM too
tor: judi said said same thing earlier!
makes sense since it is in the grid
You wouldn't go to the PB if me, Haz and FMitch were in charge. We only supply stale bread and water. The seats are hard and too small to sit on, too. *grins*
hey tor have you ever heard of bluesman roy rogers? slide guitarist.
Ah .. someone with a re6/27d sense of humor like mi4/5. ..
good thing I am the self appointed chief of PB police!
20 left and taking a break.
jmc - There's a list of Babble officials somewhre and you are not on it. LOL
*chocking*
bye wht hb
46 left and ready to list... but where is it... who has it in their profile?
jmc, are you babbling from the depths of your igloo??
i do, pinny
I don't care I have a shiny badge!
*Bashes jmc on the back to stop her choking.*
hoorah! thanks :)
no I went north to avoid the snow
Jac, if you were in charge of the PB and you ran it like that; you'd have a mutiny on your hands! :-)
:-D
thanks jac it was torgs comment about him be re6d that did it
LOL, re the badge. If you were a true veteran, the badge would be dull and battered, and bullet pocked.

Does anyone know what happened to Lickity's list?
Nef - I'd soon quell the mutiny with a bit of whipping. LOL. (Or I'd make 'em all a dessert to die for and then whip 'em.);-)
and have done bacon pancakes
Mary, his dtr. is sick in hospital with pneumonia
Mary - Lickety's daughter in in hospital with pneumonia at the moment. If you need a list, loook in my profile.

Crossy - glad you like the bacon muffins.
boy mr. p and lickety have been having a rough year
they were good,a heavy muffin but a good addition to breakfar
breakfast
they really have, jmc. Actually, I think it's closer to 2 years now
MrP and Lickety have been having quite a few rought years. I think we all need to make a concerted effort to send good vibes their way.
you are lifesaver (lime, my favorite) Jacula
thank you
I haven't been around that long nef! ask jac she will tell you i am a newbie
pb mary
can anyone give me a hint for the fe7?
no - wait - got it!
doh!
mmm lime and tequila and triple sec
hello everyone. i see my darling is on a bacon tear again.
OMG sorry
that was shortsighted of me
hi elegant
jmcnrick will join me in the PB
fe7 is what fruit does when it starts to rot, or what yeast brings in the end.
hello, babblers
np mary maybe the cabana boy will make you a margarita
(if you add 'ation' at the end of it.

I want one too! (salt on the rim please)
Hi Welki. Not seen you for ages.
margaritas in the pb TO
hi welki
in 5 16 second one please??????
jmc, was that post re the cocktail or the cabin boy??
mary did you find any snacks to go with our drinks?
we must be zigging and zagging, jac. good to 'see' you :)
jmc .. are you in ny?!
oops meant 5 10 not 5 16.
both jac both :-)
guac sound good
dance dance dance
i am welki
mkg - what are you suggesting or implying? (in5 clue)
lawdy ... how bad was the drive? (where in ny are you?)
good clue jac
have that one. that is the first in 5 16, jac. sorry need next one but not the 5 16 rather the 5 10. i asked for wrong clue.
near albany and not too bad we got ahead of the worst of it
I am just worrying about the drive back on Sat. now
Welki's profile is well worth reading.
ohhh, you deserve a perserverance medal! (say hi to my daughter in albany :)
anyone have that in 5 10 word to clue me???? pretty please?
why, thank you, jac *blushing*
mkg - the in5.10 is like the on5 vegetable that makes ou cry. Different 1st letter.
very nice comment welki
ty got it. all i words done.
*shocked look* jac and I agree on something!
i cheated welki I have a friend drive my saab in the wintery mix
you know, believe it or not, i can't see the person on the other side of my screen, but i swear i saw tears coming out of someone's eyes not too long ago because she used an improper term/tense/form
LOL jmc!
really? that is a shame
was made to feel a proper fool, i think
so you wanna know a secret?
there are those on the chog who are sometimes harsh but I just laugh when they go after me
what welki my love?
sometimes i use "I" instead of "me" just to get a rise :)
Beatles song.. welki. 'Do you promise not to tell?'
rolf!
dooo aaaah oooooh .. listen....
soo wah doo, oh, oh, oh. oh.
Me and her think alike ..

sometimes i'm funny.
Song written by Lennon & McCartney and lead vocals by my cousin George.
li6/27?
I have laugh out loud mo** since I started babbling than any other ti** in my life
hi holly
a name for british sailors
Hi JMC
welki you just about always make me laugh
Thank you JMC, that was fireworks
'let me whisper in your ear, oh, oh, oh..'
other than being a mother and a quaker being an inmate of babbleland has had the best of influences on me
grats, HollyF
whooo hooo Holly!!!!!!
li6/27, plural of the 5 is what Aussies call we whinging Poms.
wtg holly!
hi torgone
lol good thing I know what the word is jac because I have no idea what your clue means otherwise!
so now i'm thinking of famous beatle songs ... there are many. 'til there was you, mr. moonlight, here, there, everywhere...
hahahaha...famous beatle songs, not the ones that aren't famous (as if). i'm a dork.
Hi everyone. Just starting again.
hey bugsaw
hi bugs
ohhh, in my life is another
*giggle* welki
Well, you wouldn't know that, jmc, unless you'd had the close links to Aussies. That's why I try to temper my clues to fit the people they are aimed at: taking into account location, age etc.
Hi jmc. People were very excited last night about a west coast get-together in August
Good thots welki
But, at times, I do lose patience I admit, especially with those who seem to demand clues as A Right.
well i am glad I am able to learn mo** and mo** localized slang jac
or for every word
That is terrific Bugs -- I hope I can be part of it for sure
The date is up to you right now jmc! Don't take too long to set it.
thanks bug. what's funny is that this profile hasn't changed in a long time, maybe over a month
me!!???!!!
Everyone wants you to have a chance to come if you can but you have to be home from Kenya first.
love mr moonlight
well you can always ignore the request for clues jac
i'm always the first to say, 'you know, you can never schedule these things so everyone can attend," but now i want you to (and, figures, i've already made some plans for august)
jc - I wasn't getting at you about the clueing thing. Don't be so quick to take offence.
ok peeps going to clean up from day of shoveling- happy babbling and do include me in any meet plans.
ohhh, and 'this boy.' which reminds me of herb alpert, 'this boy's in love with you'
hello, help pls with li6/24
not offended jac
jacs i know exaclt what you mean btw
:-)
jac! you need to spend more time with jmc ... that's her gentle voice :)
hi peri
I can ignore the requests for clues, yes, but you don't always realise that the person asking just wants you to do the whole bloody grid for them.
hi everyone!
hi lbd
jacula?
hi lbd!!!
Hi Peri.
welki I thot you only had one weekend you were busy. Please try to join us if you can afford to travel that far.
no I have notice one or two that way for sure jac
hi jmc, nef
when is it planned, bug?
li6.24 - more sheet material like.
is there a weekend in august that you are free welki?
NM found it but ty
I promise to stop begging for clues
<--- has been saving airmiles and has an airline credit to use .. woo hoo!
for me it would have to be mid to late august
and well you should BR!
can't plan around my schedule in the summer, jmc. i have kids coming out middle of august. booking more time off in august is difficult (students are gone, office is short on staff)
BR - you have NEVER begged for a clue, as far as I recall.
12 left
I have seen him ask for a clue ---- once
lbd, we are going to my nephew's wedding over the 4th of July. He's getting married in Polson, we plan to stay for a week in Columbia Falls and go to Msla too!
YAY! NO WORK TOMORROW!
need li the last 5 10 please.
would sept work better? labor day weekend?
Begging for clues is one thing, demanding them is another. (And, no, BR, I've never seen you do that either.) *grins, knowinghe's gonna do that know justto prove me wrong.*
Hello, lbd
sounds fun nef
whoo hoo TO
(phone)
no work till tuesday!
mkg - last li5/10 is like the sheet material but with different last vowel.
got that li 5. so nm clue.
(trying to get lbd and harpjane together for a mini Babble meet if possible
mid to late August works for everyone so far that I know of except for welki. Labour Day could be hard for those of us in the school system who have to start the day after it ends with the travelling part. It depends how far people are willing to come I guess .
GRRR - mkg's done a Peri again.
hi BR
:)
hi lbd
Nef! that will be so kewl! hope Harp can work it into her schedule.
need lo 6 clues please for both words.
(late august may be okay)
did you scroll down to see where we'd be, lbd?
hi Peri
lbd - it's COOL, bloody COOL, not KEWL! Stop teen text speaking! aaargh!
lo + chinese food, chow ****
ok,im off for the night,tc all and happy babbling and ty for your support for the loss of our cat monkey..poof
ty. i thought it was 2 sep. words. ty.
yes I did, Nef. Columbia Falls is just about 15 minutes from my house.
*Break whilst Jacula bangs her head up a wall.*
what does peri do? she gets them before they are clued????
bye crossy
jac, i've always said kewl.
also need other lo 6 please??????
WOOT!!!!! :-D
mkg - yes, she does.
*hands jac some aspirin*
jac's having a meltdown
mkg - 2 x lo6. lo + 'not you but...' + not out.
I always look for the words I am looking for.
how about August 21 or 28?
well, as annoying as she seems to think my "kewl" is, i find it just as annoying to be scolded for something so trite.
Then lo + 'not females' + consonant.
that's a great plan, BR! I think I'll try that in the future! ;-)
funny, BR, that's sort of like what happens to me! i always find the word in the last place i look!
ty.
*hands lbd a chocolate"
hiiii, dawg :)
taking a break, bbl
gee i still need one l word..........oh i am missing the last li 4 6........hmmm
i got it.
on to m words.
wtg mkg
hb lbd
:-(
*looks under lbd's chair for an extra brain lying around*
se6/24 pls
lbd is not that careless oodle
*links arms with jmc* and sings a verse from, 'take it ea**"
lbd - it may seem trite to you, but I am a guardian of The English language and its punctuation. Unlike the stern guardians, I watch for a while, listen and then see if the word can be incorporated into the changing word maelstrom that keeps English alive. Jury's still out on 'kewl'.
se6 is heard a s discouraging word
clue for me 5 16 please?
And FYM. I'm not having a meltdown.
ty, jmc, was getting a headache over that one
bugs? welki?
np peri
are you ever encouraging jmc??
me5.16 looks and sounds like the person who treated you badly back in primary school. It really means an entourage or group of attendants.
i kinda thought i was encouraging oods
catching up (had to start laundry)
whatever
does anyone have a clue for that me 5 please? it is the first me word, 5 16.
what about august 21 or 28?
I am here jmc but I have to try to find words too and I am not as skilled as some of you.
mkg - I just clued it.
it was the banging of your head that misled me, jac :)
oh ty jac. i missed it totally. got it though. ty.
about the babblemeet, i have two questions: (1) why is it in san diego at the height of summer when it's blistering hot instead of here in calgary where it's nice and cool? (okay, the calgary thing was an afterthought) ... and (2) will it be a friday to sunday thing?
gee i thought the me 7 would be from that but now i am lost.
both sound good to me jmc. Keep spreading the word to see.
oh is there one for san diego? I thought we were talking about Olympia or Seattle Washington
Talking og people not listemomg pr readng case notes - my young GP (who my older GP told me to telll him stuff 'cos he never reads the notes) has me on the heart attack/angina trail now, since the only thing h bothered to read in our notes last week was that.
mkg, glad you got it and y/w.
need clue for me 7. cant get it. darn..............
i thought folks said san diego. i'm confused. let me know when plans are made and i'll try to be there :)
welki, I don't know about the Sad Diego one. We were planning one in Olympia or Seattle Washington so the BC people could come too. You could always join us there. It won't be as expensive to travel and the heat should be good.
I'll give you a clue,mkg, and you can thank me. I'll say 'Don't me7' it.
now that you mention it I do recall something about someone visting torg
hi ho the derry o to the pb i go!
lol
say hi to diego for me
PB, jmc! ;-)
wow. great clue and how did i miss that word? ty very much jac.
still missing 3 m words.
Stale bread and water and hard seats for you, jmc.
oh well the margaritas are still here :-P
No they're not! I poured them down the drain. *grins*
but the hot cocoa is still on!
I couldn't get to San Diego either welki so. I hope you can come to Washington either Aug 21 or 28. I would hope it is a Friday - Sunday thing so we could all have at least one full day to visit.
going back to the grid now
whew. done with m's. tough grid.
i think i should try to make a trip to d.c. before the meet so jmc and i can rehearse our act before we take it on the road
No, it isn't - I cut the gas ad elecricity off.
ni 6 24 please????? i think i asked before but didnt get a clue.
sounds good to me welki I have a spare bed
good thing there was still ice in the pitcher to keep the margaritas cold :-P
hehehe, you don't mind that i just invited myself for a visit?
jac, it's heated by solar and wind power. The PB has gone green
no i don't mind at all welki -- we just have to do it when I am not on the road
ni6/24, won of Noah, a hunter, and also the name of a plane.
what, no list? is lickety okay?
who lives in d.c.? jmc???? where?
here for a little, my eyes are not fully functional (though I did make it to class and some after-class study sessions).
lickety's dau is in hospital
I do mkg and dan2bit and DCseain live near by
jmc - I've swamped the roof with green planting stuff. No lightcan get through.
nothing too serious, i hope *good wishes to oz*
poor stiddie
have we made our plans for August?
hi, stid
gee jmc, just read your profile. i live in potomac near rockville. didnt know you were around here.
doesnt anyone have the ni 6 24?????? amazing!
or are we still negotiating?
that's nice jac since it insulates the pb from the hot auzzie sun
jac clued it mkg
i suggested august 21 or 28
Welki - lickey is NOT okay. His daughter is in hospital with pnumeonia. There's a list in my bio if you care to look.
gee missing it. will look. ty
I think 21 is better for me just because by the 28 I will be student teaching for sure.
jac is snapping the whip tonight! ;-)
but I can make it work either way.
ty got it.
jmc - we really must meet some time. It's sure to be fun. We'll either love or hate!
welki how do those dates work for you?
In the meantime, internet sparring is fun.
no doubt jac no doubt
may I should try to come to the british isles some ti**
oops that was the ni 5 not the six. so sorry. so must rethink. ni won of noah???????didnt know noah was a hunter. very confused. or did he have a son who was a hunter? i dont recall the story.
i think the last weekend in august is better, but like i said, make plans. i never know anything until the day it happens.
I must go now. Blod tests and all that. Happy Babbling all. x
LOL that would be so cool, jmc. a babble field trip to the lands of shakespeare, burns, and yeats?
bye, jac
later Jac
and guinness!
bye jac hope the tests are all good
hola
well, not technically, but close enough
I think the best thing is to do what is best -- unless it isn't
i will pass on guiness
not getting that clue or n word...........any more help?
i would prefer some single malt whiskey
hey BR
hey KJE

Hello, stid and kje

guiness is from Dublin, Southern Ireland. Not part of UK.

sweet dreams Jac! (thought you were gone already LOL)
oops sorry.
single malt is nice, but wasted on me
darn cant get these words.
jac? i corrected myself. down, girl.

hi kje
stid - not a word - LOL
i hope i can finish for once. didnt finish in a while.
no? I will have to take a pen to my atlas!
hi everyone
I will leave for now. Hope you feel better soon Jac. *poof*
jac, i repeat. i corrected myself. i said, "guinness" .. and then said, no, i was incorrect, but close enough
bye stiddie
only thing more embarassing than typing a word into the grid is typing in a phantom and then apologizing like its real
'night stid
lol kje
I'm not even going to try to delve into our politics right now because, as I said earlier, I have an appointment for blood tests at 9am.

lol .. i can see it now, sneaking out of residence, looking for a micky d's at 2 a.m.
my dad was from Albany -- used to visit my grandparents there a lot as a kid

yes i use a mac, welki. feel better nef
yeah matches! would love some clues matches.
One more comment to make, which might upset many US citizens. I was glad to see after 9/11 that the coffers of the IRA suddenly ran dry. That may have been a Muslim attack but you finally realised the truth about terrorists. Once, in ditant history they were freedom fighters. Not so now.
an email question (i must have accidentally changed settings). used to be that if i clicked on a message, nothing would happen except that the message line would be highlighted. now, when i click down the list, every email message shows as previously open. do you have any idea what i did?
need re first 5 12 please.
macs are great.. but no lickety babble expert
i understand you can do babble expert on a mac
I'll help if I can. I'm not a very good cluer
you can? since when, jmc?
sorry welki... wish i could help but i have no idea
i totally am with you on that jac and the IRA is not the only place we support terrorists with out "good intentions"
bottom n? starts with without?
i don't use babble expert so no problem for me with a mac
i'm brave, will 'restore defaults' and see what happens
no, in fact i asked lickety recently, and he said if and when he gets a mac he can do it, otherswise not
plural the 4/5 above it.
sorry that was meant to be CANNOT do babble expert
The Northern Ireland Question/Conflict waas almost solved by Mo Mowlam.

can you avoid shingles by staying off roofs?
*groan* oh gee... typical BR! rofl
not when a tornado comes through
You can avoid shingle by staying away from brothers with chicken pox
you can avoid roofies by staying off shingles
i feel through a rood once
you can avoid the shingles by visiting lots of clubs and dating web sites
my daddy and I were shingling it
omg, stid, stidkid has facial hair! (my what a handsome young man too!)
*roof
*grin* well yes, LBD! he does! they do that when they grow up.
Jake has little peach fuzz... it cracks me up

He keeps saying " Ladies love the 'stashe"
yes, stid, SK1 looks great! and so does Stidg!

ah ty nrkii
aquafresh?
i must be careful not to fo**** a revolution
i copied the list from gremlin's profile into notepad, then made it small enuf to fit side by side w/babble
exactly
I have my list in Excel next to my babble window...
it's working pretty good so far
down to 65 anyway
politically incorrect ad taken off the air: you will wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent
that works too. i do miss lickety's. what's up with lickety's anyway... today has yesterday's list and yesterday had the list of the day before
his daughter has been ill adhd

aw. hope she'll be well soon. is the list generated automatically? is that why it's been off a day?'
*sending well wishes to lickety's daughter*
do they know what's wrong w/her?
i honestly don't know adhd except that lickety lives down under
hi everyone, apparently she has pneumonia
she had pneumonia
hi flosey
know what kind?
hi flosey...
hi Pini
two weeks at home and back to school
just in to change my icon
hi flosey
"what kind?"
of pneumonia
fosey how does august 21 or 28 sound to you for a meet up?
you mean viral vs. bacterial? "walking"? or other?
i am enjoying the blanket flosey
yep
are there babble meets? i've seen pics of meets on the west coast... i'd come to one on the east coast for sure
we are planning one in baltimore in early may adhd
ah, no idea... all I know is when I had pneumonia years ago, my doctor told me that there was no such thing as "walking" pneumonia... it was just a term doctors used to make people feel better about not being hospitalized
check with dcseain, adhd...he usually knows about the east coasters ;)
keep an eye on dcseian's profile
what'd i do now?
ah! Baltimore meet-up :)
caused a snow storm dc...lol
nothing dc...you're smart! :)
D's done!!!!!!!
go PINI !
bah, thought i'd left weather like this behind in Mass when i moved back down here.
"walking" pneumonia is a mycoplasmal pneumonia... dubbed walking cuz you aren't always bedridden w/it.. can function..
go pini go
I would not know how to handle that weather
yeah, I was walking around feeling kind of bad and finally went to the doctor, who sent me home with drugs and orders to rest
trust me DR we don't know how to handle it either
I didn't feel THAT sick, but apparently, I was wrong, because within another 24 hours I felt like a truck ran me over
GO PI-NI! GO PI-NI! GO GO GO *shakes pom poms* *kicks high* RAH RAH RAH

git'r dun, nrkii!
walking pnue is insidious
I believe you Jmc!
go nrkii (and she was complaining about no list!)
I gave in and am using the babanon list
help with the in6/30 after the 8
myco pn. can take up to 2 months to clear up, but you don't feel real sick (usu only for the first week or so).. like the lingering cough after bronchitis.. pheumonia is lung, bronchitis is bronchi
even so nrkii! lol you are so fast!
i had a 7 month lingering cough from bronchitis onec
how many, jmc?
46
the list helps!
Yep, I was on an inhaler for about a year after the pneumonia
how many pini?
52 here...catching up! :)
in6/30 in + paperwork (fill in)
maybe 2 years... but I had chronic bronchitis as a kid so I'm susceptible to that kind of crap
what a fish! ty adhd
go Pini!
you always do pini
not always, jmc ;)
me too nrk. had bronchitis growing up, got it ten years ago with pneumonia... been on inhalers ever since... adult onset asthma
mine went away, thank goodness... though I still get a couple of sinus infections every year, and they always end up in my chest pretty fast
i had a bad respiratory infection at 16 and the specialist my parents took me to insisted that i was smoking.... idiot
help with the first do8 please?
me too nrk... i think when the weakness is established in childhood, you're susceptible forever
in5/16 after the in7 please
I'm now on singulair, which seems to help, and every time I feel like I'm getting sick I take Zicam, which really seems to help... I skipped my Christmas sinus infection this year and haven't had one since last Spring... knock on wood
the Old do8 is where DC lives
in5/16 is plural of in4

oh no DR, you really really don't.... I went to class today with sunglasses, earplugs, gloves and a blankie to minimize all external stimuli. It worked, sort of. I still hurt, but not so much I couldn't learn.
that's the one I'm working on, too, jmc
stid, i'll have a beer if you have a bourbon
can't believe the snow in DC... broke record from the 1800s! that's amazing
I have permission to stay home from my assignment tomorrow to rest at home and try to get caught up.
must be hard to hear with earplugs
sure pippin, one bourbon can't be too bad. unless he's named Louis...
soundslike that is the best idea stiddie
have you taken any classes on line?
not really jmc, I have hyperacusis, so it just sort of tones it down. I could hear just fine.
ah
I have Vanilla Porter on hand.
yes ADHD, but this master's program is not "on-line-able"
got it.
help with the li6/24 please
I am really mi6 because I was just getting to the point where I could tolerate normal noise levels without cringing. I am nervous this will make it all bad again.
li6/24 sheets +sometimes vowel
oh well. *shrug* I have a faculty ally -- I am being encouraged to take care of my health, do my best, and stay in the program. I don't have to give up my dream just because I am sometimes sick.

brb tom is here
i love school, but i can't work anymore and it's expensive. if i had extra cash, i'd do it
tom thinks our taxes are ready to submit. he'll bring his laptop in.
is there a college that will let you take noncredit courses? or one of the free classes things?
i spent the entire day on the couch with heat and ice and a fire and soft music. in/out babble. tomorrow's another day. tx for asking.
well done stiddie if i was well behaved i would be doing taxes right now
help with last fo6 please
hint, or at least stats, for Top N pls?
only after everyone else is registered if there's room
I know how that is ADHD -- I wonder if there are online classes you could take? Sometimes universities and community colleges have affordable distance ed.
brb, looking at numbers
is that fo6 dissent and disorder?
a 'container' you might put a file in
I took a couple of free online classes adhd
plural of fo5/18
what kind of classes?
ok - got it thanks
i need either the last or second to last li 5/10 -- i have the pl of straight things you draw

oh -- I was on your website the other day, and I was curious about the way you organize the data -- assume there is a standard way to label books for quality? When you look at a book, are things like foxing worse than missing bookjackets, or ... ???
go pini go!!!!!!!

stid, i can send you a few links, but to get right down to it, grading a book condition is a bit of an art rather than a science

I prefer mi 4 condition... but don't usually find that in the childrens' books I so love!
after dinner mi**
mi 6/31?
mi5 the moocher
sorry mi 6/21
(mi4 is not a grade for books -- books are not mi4ed)
mi6/21 = last part of Old Do8
i'll call my mi6s to help you, jmc
I would appreciate that gwen -- I don't like old books for the investment really, just for the love of them. But I would love to know what all these things are about.
LOL so how to refer to a book that is "like new"

hmm phoenixes is kinda boring :/
oh, read list wrong, ty
yes -- I enjoyed seeing the products of everyone's creativity today.
Last li 5/10?
wish i had known!
Hi, nan and Rows
my icon is from an extremely old theme from when i played probably like a year ago
hey jellen
li5 = change last vowel of "fabric"
misspelled sheets, towels, etc. jellen
Thanks Pini!
paper money comes from BEP. Coins come from the US Mi4 in Philly or Denver.
or SF!
ironically, paper money is actually made out of li5 if it were spelled right
;)
mi 4 prints or stamps all of ours
if you spell it right, you get another li5
rows, spell it right and its there too
oh
okay, what's up with the last fo5/18? i can't seem to find it

I was in6/30ed that I had no school today. So I ro4/4 today w/the intention of babbling all day I did not want to lo4/4 a minute of babbling.However, I became busy and life got in the way. I was quite mi 4/11ed that I started babbling so late. Although this was not a very ti 4/6 grid, it was quite ea 4/6. I felt fi 4/7 while I was doing it. For once I did not feel like a ni 6/24. Well,those are all the clues you're going to get fr 4/8 me since I did not finish the grid. There is no mo4/5 to my story.And now I am going to mo5/16 on out of here and enter sleep mo 4/6.
