1:11 am

ok 66 yo go for me and I've been drifting off to sleep already

1:11 am

1:11 am

nighy night peeps! thanks ruru for the vino

oh darn -- well, I can go to the back chog later I guess

1:12 am

night pav!

1:12 am

sleep well pav ( I think you will )

1:12 am

Phagophobia or Sitophobia

1:13 am

according to phobialist.com

1:13 am

I thought you were kidding ruru

1:13 am

I think it is sitophobia

1:13 am

fear of food or eating or being eaten

1:13 am

when earlier west?

1:13 am

I don't kid about phobias...

1:13 am

ty dart -- phago is the fear of eating, I believe, not of seeing others eat. I'll check sitophobia -- ah, there you are, ruru!

1:13 am

lol

1:14 am

sitophobia..sounds like something a really energetic person would have

1:14 am

he's a lurker...wonder what the fear of being lurked upon is?

1:14 am

I can't sit down I have too much to do

1:15 am

I respect your fear of snakes that's high on my list as well

1:15 am

I can't get that he 7

1:15 am

arrrrggh

1:16 am

nope, that's not it -- again, it's fear of eating or of food, not of seeing OTHERS eat, which is REALLY weird.

1:16 am

it's a crime ruru

1:16 am

starts with a dutch beer

ke 7 if not said

1:16 am

that guy must not take his dates to dinner

1:16 am

ty west, the dutch beer helped

he 7 ... adjective often use with crimes

1:17 am

yw flosey it's a staple around here

1:17 am

got it

1:17 am

quite right, west -- seriously, he admits it's a big problem and he's trying to overcome it with help

1:17 am

oddly enough, not here, until son comes

1:18 am

that would be a very difficult phobia to deal with jilli

1:18 am

got the he7 -- as dee said, it's an adjective describing something bad, not just a crime

kn 6

1:19 am

who has this problem jilli

1:20 am

5 left -- too tired to search for them tonight -- see you tomorrow :)

1:20 am

ruru, as I said in the profile, a writer for Time magazine whose name I can't remember

1:21 am

he wrote a column about it a few weeks ago

1:21 am

just guessing he isn't the food critic

1:21 am

good night nan

en 6 x 4

1:23 am

he might be, ru -- he doesn't mind eating by himself in a private booth or something

1:23 am

"Hey baby, what's your sign?" "Ne4"

1:24 am

although I don't think Time runs a food column often if ever

1:24 am

thanks doug

2:02 am

FM what you said bears repeating

2:03 am

:)

2:03 am

they were married recently flosey

2:03 am

my tulips started in November because we had a cold snap. I replanted the bed (with help, of course), took everything out including some poorly lavenders from last year, added about 200 lbs of soil, added another 50 tulips , re-planted the old ones and then covered everything with dead leaves for protection. It was early December but then the snow came and covered them, and they are still visible, so it may be a success.

2:03 am

before* not because

2:04 am

thanks west

2:05 am

we have nothing peeking and more snow on the way

2:05 am

I can't wait to start planting, am already working on the garden plan

2:05 am

Oh west, your spring will come

2:05 am

flosey I just can't imagine the sacrifices some of these athletes have to make

2:06 am

we have snow drops all around the property

2:06 am

some day my spring will come...

2:06 am

either that or you will just go straight to summer

2:06 am

it's amazing, isn't it west

2:06 am

I have different "themed" sections of the garden. The one I was talking about is along the steps down from the street and is the "wedding bouquet" garden.

2:06 am

and then I'll be complaining about the heat lol

2:06 am

spring is the best season here

2:06 am

lol

2:06 am

oh ruby that sounds lovely

2:06 am

wow ruby, your garden must be beautiful

2:07 am

ruby, what a great idea

2:07 am

sounds lovely ruby

2:07 am

yes ruby we need to see pictures when it's in glory

2:08 am

what makes it special is the limited color range and th fact that when we bought the house it had nothing except a couple of trees, shrubs and a hedge.

2:08 am

I will send you all the photos you can stand!!!

2:08 am

No, his responsibility is the grass. I have others to help me so that I can just design and point. It's my first garden (alo my first house) and husband gave me free rein.

inside and out

2:11 am

what fun, ruby!

2:11 am

hello dear babble friends. Enjoying the new themes and the ways you picture them!

2:12 am

mine is eww-y

2:12 am

west, yours is Scoleciphobia :)

2:13 am

I was very lucky the way it worked out as 11 yrs ago, the dollar was still valuable; now this area has become chic and we never could have afforded it.

2:13 am

I'll remember that sprite

2:13 am

great timing ruby

2:14 am

that was lucky ruby

2:14 am

sounds chic, doesn't it

2:14 am

ah yes I remember the times back then when money had value and the world seemed a lot saner.

2:14 am

I suppose so sprite but it's still yucky lol

2:15 am

the house isn't chic, however, it was really ordinary, but when we re-did it, I made it look older by the colors and materials I used and by using all our old furniture

2:15 am

how long have you been in France ruby?

2:15 am

as we were just married, it was a new start for us. I mostly used his stuff; mine is mostly in the studio

2:16 am

I have to go and get an apple with that Norwegian cheese -- back soon

2:16 am

what kind of cheese, jilli?

2:17 am

sounds delicious jilli

2:17 am

we're out of apples and I'm pretty sure we don't have nay of that cheese either

2:17 am

any*

2:18 am

I like cheese melted on apple pie

2:18 am

halfway the Ks

2:19 am

is that your weird phobia sprite?

2:19 am

it should have been, lol... letterK-phobia. No, I picked another one.

2:19 am

I 'see' yours now

2:20 am

apple pie or just apples with Wensleydale cheese is a very Yorkshire thing.

2:20 am

love that eye

2:20 am

hehehe it IS kinda scary, this icon

2:20 am

the cheese is Gjetost

2:20 am

FM then I must be very yorkshire because I adore yorkshire pudding

2:21 am

I know gjetost haven't had it in years and yes it is wonderful with apples

2:21 am

to refresh to see that spooky eye, sprite!

2:21 am

I knew we had a connection west :)

2:21 am

it's made with goat's milk isn't it?

2:22 am

*had to

2:22 am

I have no idea, west -- it's brownish. Someone called it "peanut butter cheese"

2:23 am

I know what it looks like it's sweet too

2:23 am

Francis has an eye icon and it spooks me out every time she is online

2:23 am

so there's your phobia, FM?

2:24 am

good point jilli

2:24 am

brb

2:25 am

can't find a name for your phobia, jilli. Found a reference of somebody else asking for the name, but no answer.

2:25 am

I must be off too for a while have some things to do before the day gets going.

2:25 am

bye FM, have a good day

2:26 am

2:26 am

2:28 am

west: one year old. His birthday was Feb 2

2:28 am

2:28 am

2:28 am

It seems like yesterday we were waiting for him to be born

2:29 am

so true! And he is still the best there is!

2:29 am

ruru will give you an argument about that -- he is besotted with his little dylan

2:29 am

2:31 am

2:31 am

ruby how is max?

2:31 am

last I heard you were waiting to see the vet

2:31 am

jilli, how about Ithyorectiaphobia?

2:32 am

pffft they are all prejudiced.

2:33 am

wow, I'll check that, sprite

2:34 am

I guess you made that up, sprite -- google never heard of it, lol!

2:34 am

I combined the relevant parts of anorexia and Ithyphallophobia. Oh, that would make Ithyorexiaphobia.

2:35 am

Ithyphallophobia being Fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis

2:35 am

I thought I detected a phallic symbol there

2:36 am

oh my!

2:36 am

it is the only one I have been able to find so far that refers to seeing something being done :)

2:36 am

that is too funny

2:36 am

maybe that's what scares the guy about seeing people eating

2:37 am

should I say it?

2:37 am

sure, west

2:37 am

some lists are pretty good, separating the known disorders from the made-up ones. But no matter how weird a thing you think up, some people are bound to be afraid of it!

2:37 am

say it, west

2:38 am

a hard man is good to find

2:38 am

roflollllllllll

2:38 am

funny this morning

2:38 am

I remember going into Harrods Knightsbridge with a friend many years ago. We wanted a Harrods bag each but all we could afford was something from the food hall. Unfortunately, the bags had 'food hall' printed on them. So, we didn't look so glam in the end.

6:15 am

*gown!

6:15 am

Ball Gown? LOL

6:16 am

Or even Al Fayid.

6:17 am

I was 21 and spent £250 on this wondrufl huge 1980's big puffy thing - it was just the best dress (other than my wedding dress)

8:46 am

it does Dorens

8:47 am

probably only recognizable in the automotive industry

8:48 am

but the word has other meanings as well

8:48 am

well that helped. i've made it more than half way... time to go clean up the kitchen and i'll be back.. lots of snow here, not conducive to going out and doing my errands

8:48 am

Not a girl thing normally.

8:48 am

8:57 am

me too

8:57 am

me three and lots of other chores

8:58 am

yes, Sea, me too. I have to dress the beds, not to mention myself (can't stay in my pj's all day) and dust.

8:58 am

would rather play babble though

8:58 am

like shoveling the driveway [grump]

8:58 am

oh Bichon, it is terrible isn't it.

8:59 am

our snow turned out to be a dusting, we got lucky!

8:59 am

that was luck, Sea. I think it used all its energy coming over Kentucky/Ohio

8:59 am

we've got 4-5 inches so far, but I think they'll be a bit more

8:59 am

we had 7 yesterday

9:00 am

everyone is thankful I think

9:00 am

nothing like the east coast has gotten. So far for the month we have had 21

9:00 am

we still have plenty from the last 2 storms

I know

10:10 am

we've been luckier than most

10:12 am

and poor BC they really need it there

10:13 am

I suppose it's too late to move the Olympics to Washington DC

lolol not enough hills!

10:13 am

we can still cross-country ski down some of our streets

10:14 am

there are ski mountains less than 2h away from here, though

I am babysitting my niece & nephew now too dcseain

10:16 am

nice auntie and uncle

10:16 am

hope you're having fun, minver.

10:17 am

i showed my elder nephew how to use the features on their new Wii

10:18 am

that Wii is amazing

10:18 am

maybe i'll finish today

10:19 am

hello all

it looks like fun, the wii...

10:19 am

i think you can do it, jasmine

10:19 am

but can be dangerous..our son and his family got one for Christmas and the mom was bowling and swung her arm back and hit the 3 year old in the nose

10:19 am

Wii is great fun :)

10:19 am

hi jasmine

go jasmine go!

10:20 am

now she looks behind her first

10:20 am

thanks dc and west. i haven't managed to finish a grid in a while

10:21 am

I'm not doing very well on this one

10:22 am

hello everybody, I only have a minute while dinner cooks and somebody is stomping around upstairs (not dogs). Saw a great movie this afternoon, Lovely Bones!

10:22 am

hi ruby I want to see that

10:23 am

amazing movie; I didn't expect it to be that good

10:23 am

I probably shouldn't admit it but I like movies with Marky Mark

10:23 am

did you read the book?

10:23 am

if I could go to a movie every day, I would

i heard it was very well done.

10:23 am

is marky mark Mark Wahlberg?

10:24 am

yes lol

10:24 am

I can't stop calling him that

really ruby? i am not a movie fan...

10:24 am

I think I read something else by that author, but if I did, it was a long time ago.

10:24 am

I was wondering if that was the same Mark. Did you see him in Boomtown?

10:25 am

I'm more of a movie addict than just a fan...

10:25 am

we do netflix

so hard to sit for that long...

10:26 am

at home you can pause it

10:26 am

so does my son in Texas; they don't have it here and we don't know how to use the VCR or whatever. I used to go every weekend with a girlfriend and sometimes we'd see two movies

yes, i sometimes watch on line...and pause it a lot.

10:27 am

I am happy to spend hours

10:27 am

ruby I remember when there would be 2 movies at a time

10:27 am

is your houseguest gone, redt?

10:27 am

she and I would go to a multi-plex and sneak into the second film! Naughty girls

for the moment he is. I am feeling much more like myself.

10:29 am

we get a few decent movies a week on French TV, but it's hard to find ones that aren't dubbed. My husband needs subtitles because he can't hear at a reasonable volume and his French isn't that great

10:30 am

I'm shoveling alone today. Hubby went to work. At least the snow is pretty light. Doing it in shifts

10:30 am

I don't envy you bichon

10:31 am

when I was a kid there were still shorts and a cartoon!

10:31 am

Especially when they guy who owns the snow blower in the neighborhood is working on the driveway next door.

10:31 am

maybe you're next?

10:32 am

slip him a 20!

10:32 am

oh yes ruby and you could stay and watch the features all day

OK I need to get dressed in other clothing and take the dog to the park, its the great backyard bird watch and we are participating!!!! (well, I am...)

10:32 am

Yes, if I cough up a few bucks. No, I'm tough, I can do it. I'm only 63 years young

10:33 am

OK tough bichon!! See you after dinner

10:33 am

that sounds so nice red

10:33 am

Besides, I need a bath for Biscuit to march to the street and do his thing

10:34 am

*path, but yest, he does need a bath

10:34 am

does he help with the shoveling?

10:35 am

of course west, I give him a specially adapted shovel made for paws

10:35 am

well then your work is half done lol

10:35 am

and a cookie afterwrd

10:36 am

one of our daughters lives in western MA and a few of her friends are raising their own sled dogs

10:36 am

He's on a special diet for kidney disease. I give him some raw veggies

10:36 am

they are so beautiful! blue-eyed dogs!

10:37 am

does he love the snow?

10:37 am

Do they sleep outside in the snow?

10:37 am

they do even the babies

10:37 am

Biscuit, no. He did when he was young. Now it's an inconvenience

10:38 am

I like being inside looking out

10:38 am

today it was like a picture powdered sugar on everything

10:39 am

It looks so pretty, but after shoveling for a while, I curse it.

10:39 am

we're getting the brunt of the storm later

10:39 am

back from more shovelling!!

10:39 am

Hello periwinkle! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

10:39 am

I'm glad you're both taking breaks

10:40 am

I'm so tired. I stayed up til midnight watching Olympic figure skating

10:41 am

weren't they amazing?

10:42 am

I'm so glad with the results, but I really like the Germans too. Too bad they made a few mistakes

10:42 am

I agree I can't imagine the thousands of hours they put in

10:43 am

Yes, and pain of falling all the time

10:43 am

some of them leave their families as young children too

10:44 am

Yes, if you ever read bios of the Chinese pairs, it is grim what they have to endure to be successful. The winners, who are married, had to live in single room dorms.

10:45 am

I saw that but now they have their gold medal

10:46 am

Yes, they do and will reap reward way beyond what ordinary Chine can look forward to. But, they've been doing this forever, and it must get very wearying

10:47 am

I know they probably don't know what it is to just relax

10:47 am

we should get them on Babble

10:48 am

They'll probably earn quite a few bucks touring and lead a comfortable, normal, married life

10:48 am

I hope so

10:48 am

In a bio of them, she grew up in the freezing cold of Harbin China and spent hours skating on a frozen pond. She never complained.

10:49 am

you can tell it's a labor of love

10:50 am

they seem genuinely fond of each other too

10:50 am

I don't know about that. It's a way to be successul in China. They probably would be working in a factory, if they never had started skating.

10:50 am

weren't both of them hand picked to be figure skaters?

10:51 am

clue for the ke7???

10:51 am

hello monkey !!

10:51 am

10:56 am

gj monkey!!

10:56 am

dorens, i have not made larb na, but i love it. I think it would be easy... love those wide noodles

10:56 am

It's time to hit the snow again. bbl

10:57 am

10:57 am

10:59 am

Mmmmmmmmmmm Pad Thai !!!!

10:59 am

RI will eventually get the good stuff

10:59 am

dorens, do you like "Drunken Noodles" It's wide flat noodles, spicy ground pork, very very very spicy

10:59 am

you guys are making me hungry, and I left all the thai leftover's at ke*'* house last night

11:01 am

yes i do, but larb, cold beef salad (another easy one to make... millions of variations), chicken with basil are my favorites.. i'm not a big noodle eater

11:02 am

I'm taking notes

11:04 am

get a couple of good basic recipes - keep nam pla, lime, hot peppers, and fresh cilantro and the ingredients on hand, and play around, westford. you can make many of the recipes yourself if there are no good thai restaurants near you

11:05 am

also on that ingredient list: chopped peanuts, can of coconut milk

11:05 am

and garlic

11:05 am

thanks ladies this is a good start

11:05 am

yea, garlic and ginger too

11:06 am

can't really find galangal too easily

11:06 am

is that the lemongrass?

11:07 am

no, a straange ginger like thing that i've seen in chinatown sometimes. you can also buy thai green curry paste and rred curry paste in cans, and even good thai cooks use them

11:08 am

now I'm thinking I might go out later to my local Thai restaurant and get some soup

11:11 am

that should make you feel better

11:11 am

i hope so, my jaw is now a dull ache

11:11 am

i can't believe i paid someone a ton of $$$ to do this to me

11:12 am

are you done or will you have to go again?

11:13 am

i go back March 8 for the final crowns to be put on (have temps right now), then I go back in april for 2 more teeth

when I was taking my degree foresty/enviromental studies, we did a week long field trip to canada (vancouver area) to study your forestry practices it was so beautiful we camped out.

12:30 pm

im glad hego and lmeliae..it just gets too wierd sometimes with certain U.S visitors eg;"what coin is this with the beaver on it?" and we have to say"see that number 5? that means it is 5 cents,just look for numbers and you will be fine,and sorry we dont use gallons"

12:30 pm

out west is amazing..i must go there

12:31 pm

I live on the west coast of US and it is a lot like home here. A bit damper maybe but just as beautiful

12:32 pm

we had one car from fla come up in july with a rack full of skis, looking for snow;)..i think i was a terrible dissapointment to him

12:32 pm

and vancouver is such a wonderful city, the buildings are just amazing you walk around just looking at all the details on the buildings

12:33 pm

i dont like the cities meliae,but i cant wait to roam around the mountains

12:34 pm

hills out there make our ski hill look like a bump on a log

12:34 pm

and the Butchart gardens are amazing

12:34 pm

I wish I could remember the name of the place we camped

12:34 pm

i want to head right out to the island,but in time for whale migrations

12:36 pm

i want to find a nice perch at 10,000 feet and watch the world go by;)

12:37 pm

i want to go into thier amazing forests and listen to the trees talk in the silence

12:38 pm

well you will definately find that there, all of it

12:38 pm

i want to ride the rivers and hear the water chuckling to the rocks as we pass by

12:39 pm

12:46 pm

hello FM

12:46 pm

Happy Fat Tuesday, all! Laissez le bon temps rouler!

12:46 pm

is that word in the grid, hurshy?

12:46 pm

Hi ruby and EvaN

12:47 pm

i wanted to take a sick day today but if i did that, i wouldn't have any way to get to my chiropractic appointment after work, bc my husband would take the car and be in class until 5:20. so i came to work. but now it is snowing fairly heavily and i may not be able to drive safely to the appointment, but instead just sit around bored at my office for even longer... which would mean i ought to have just stayed home like i wanted to!

12:47 pm

glad it is fat tuesday,cause im not getting any thinner;))

12:47 pm

I feel the same way about my garden, FM, one more month and it will start to be beautiful!

12:48 pm

lol,here we cannot plant till the end of may

12:48 pm

life is a bummer sometimes hursh.

12:48 pm

i am a bad driver, if anything goes slightly amiss i panic and react the wrong way, you see.

12:48 pm

uh oh

12:49 pm

i knew one woman like that,she would panic and take bother her hands off the steering wheel

12:49 pm

i don't take my hands off the wheel

12:49 pm

hi, guys...can anyone help me with the el7 and el8?

12:49 pm

that is good

12:50 pm

but i can never remember in the moment whether i should brake or not, which way i should steer, that sort of thing.

12:50 pm

:((

12:50 pm

sorry, i don't have any long ones yet

12:50 pm

it sounds like you really shouldn't ever drive, hurshy!

12:50 pm

Oh have a friend that had to rescue a women in her car with kids and dogs as she freaked out and could not cope with driving through the village.

12:51 pm

some of the road you have over there would send me into a panic fm:)

12:51 pm

i'm fine as long as i focus and am slow and careful and don't hit any icy patches.

12:51 pm

one tyrip through the mountains here would drive you crazy, hurshy!

12:52 pm

Glad to say I love driving and love my car.

12:52 pm

i don't mean i can't remember to brake in GENERAL, just if i get skidding or something.

12:52 pm

on some of the roads, I just get down on the floor and don't look while my husband drives

12:52 pm

foot off gas, and steer where you want to go

Hi all.

12:53 pm

yes, see, when i'm NOT skidding, i know that, crossy, but when i AM, it flies out of my head.

12:53 pm

howdy sally

12:53 pm

Actually, I prefer driving alone in the car so I can play my music, LOUD!

12:53 pm

sally! hello, I tried to chat online with you

12:53 pm

Whilst we are on the topic of cars, mine is an MR2, and I have had her for 12 years now.

12:53 pm

did you have a fender bender hurshy or a close call today?

12:54 pm

Hi Sally

Yes, rubyfoo, I just said hallo back. Was doing something else and suddenly noticed FB flashing at me!

12:54 pm

no, i'm just saying i may not go to my chiro appointment in order to make sure i don't have one.

12:54 pm

ahah

We bought a new car today :-)

12:54 pm

what kind?

12:55 pm

ohh I vaguely remember the smell of a new car

Salesman asked if I would like him to run through the controls, I said no, turned out of the garage and into hail and a blizzard! Aaaah!! Where are the wipers? The lights?!!

12:55 pm

el7 is when you run two words together because they have like, ending with a vowel and starting with a vowel. like in french, you have le chat but l'arbre.

12:56 pm

When I was working and traveling all over the place, I used to love getting a rental and driving in new places!

12:56 pm

fm,you can get a air freshener spray now that smells like mew car smell;))

It's a brand new Clio ruby

12:56 pm

bless you, hurshy!

12:56 pm

great clue, hurshy, thank you

12:57 pm

really crossy? although I am not surprised.

12:57 pm

a French car, non?

12:57 pm

we have 2 little German ones, neither of which I like

Certainement. My last one was a Megane (can't do accents in the chog).

12:57 pm

we had a beautiful one but my husband wrecked it (and me) two years ago

12:58 pm

I've been a Toyota drive for so long now that I don't know where I would go when lulabell goes.

12:58 pm

crossy looks on at all theese exotic euro names for cars in bafflement

12:59 pm

12:59 pm

12:59 pm

12:59 pm

... and yes Iulabel is the name I gave the car *hangs head in shame*

12:59 pm

oops

Youw ill like this story ruby:-) Husband insisted last year we bought a friend's two-year old Peugeot. I was not keen, and at the time he could not drive. About four weeks ago he was allowed to drive again, and after ten days suggested we sell the Peugeot!! Men!!!

12:59 pm

naughty lawyer and it wasn't even a word!!

1:00 pm

ruby, would u prefer I give a word instead?

1:00 pm

it must be some kind of man thing!

1:00 pm

peugeot? is that the one where its rear end hangs inches from the ground?

1:00 pm

yes yes, lawyer

1:00 pm

then I'll join you in the PB with cookies

1:00 pm

there are so many olympic athletes who have changed their citizenship for one reason or another. the japanese woman who became russian to do pairs skating, etc. there was one story about someone becoming an american citizen and i was like, "they became an american on purpose?!" and my husband, appalled at my lack of patriotism, said that lots of people become americans all the time and i said, but if you're setting out to choose a new country, why not choose one with health care?

1:00 pm

what word would u like?

1:01 pm

any 7 besides the el that hurshy gave

1:01 pm

ca7?

lol hurshy. I know a lot of people who have changed citizenship (husband's cousin now American) but although I love travelling I would hate to give up my country.

1:01 pm

lol hurshy,when my family goes to the states i get top end blue cross travel health plan,even if just for a week

1:01 pm

ca7

1:02 pm

ca7 plural of ca6 - think las vegas

1:02 pm

Go to Monte Carlo and have a gamble for the ca 6 and 7

1:02 pm

my husband would like the olympics if they were still amateur athletes and had to compete naked and not in spandex! lol

1:02 pm

nice, FM, hiding in plain sight!

1:02 pm

no, dc, i am trying to find out what 7 ruby would like help with

1:02 pm

my m-i-l got ill down south and it cost her $37,000.00

They would bounce around a bit though ruby.

1:03 pm

ouch!

1:03 pm

but when they competed naked it was only men... if your husband would like that, you may have a major problem.

1:03 pm

a he7 crime, like murder

1:03 pm

raofl

1:03 pm

ou7 - past participle of ou6

1:03 pm

ouch a neeked male pole vaulter..if he knocks it off with his whistle is it a fault?? lol

1:04 pm

the mind boggles!

Laughing so much I can't type the words in.

1:04 pm

though watching the ladies on the pommel horse would be interesting

1:04 pm

what a group, take my husband, please!!!!

1:05 pm

naughty crossy!

1:05 pm

again the mind boggles :)

The shot-putters would have to be a bit careful too.

1:06 pm

he also thinks that sportscasters need to have played the sport to talk about it -- which rules out most female commentators and non-athletes

1:06 pm

terrible, unadmitted mysogynist

1:06 pm

i tend to agree ruby,it is nice if they themselves have been there and done it

1:06 pm

Oh stop I cant type for laughing too

1:07 pm

gonna make fm pee herself!!!!!!

1:07 pm

yes, but I know more about baseball than he does, for instand, and I've never played

1:07 pm

the ladies don't do the pommel horse. they have uneven bars, vault, floor, and beam. the men have parallel bars, pommel horse, rings, floor, high bar, and vault.

1:07 pm

and I could write about the Tour de France and haven't been on a bicycle in years!

1:07 pm

ROFL crossy, you devil.

1:08 pm

I think the business of changing nationalities is a hoot but if only real Frenchman were on the national teams, they would never get beyond jr high school competitions!

1:09 pm

ok then hursy the uneven bars..better use lots of chalk hehe

Ruby's flag reminded me - does anyone recognise a flag identical to the French flag but with a single yellow star in the upper left corner?

1:11 pm

hmmmm

That K and N next to each other are useful.

1:11 pm

maybe a former colony?

1:13 pm

helen, is your profile photo a slow loris or a lemur?

Saw it on a car this morning - very nice new flag - not likely to be a former colony that has since changed its flag. Wiki has an array of flags of sovreign nations, not there.

1:13 pm

it's very cute but probably has sharp little pointy teeth

It is the happiest sloth in the world.

1:13 pm

but unfotunately the kn are only used 3 times as starting letters

1:13 pm

aaah

I got it from wikiMedia images

1:14 pm

That sloth has got a mean streak a mile wide ..

1:14 pm

But many times ending them, FM.

Hi fellow babblers

2:03 pm

midnight central time US

You're not someone I lured from WOrdsplay, are you?

Wi6 please

2:17 pm

Aha luring people now.

Every now and then I go back there and I mention it in the chat

2:18 pm

wi6 people who drink too much and end up in the gutter

I thought that only had 5 letters

Oh, it works with an extra vowel, does it?

2:18 pm

extra vowel for 6

Cool. I'll try to remember next time I see a wi** that it might not be his fault. He might have an extra vowel.

2:20 pm

:-D

Sometimes you can't help those predetermined defects

Oh, here I go again.

2:21 pm

lol

the first ho5 and the ho6?

2:24 pm

don't have those yet Kap. will look

I'm down to the miserable ones. Funny how the last ones are the most miserable- it just works out that way I guess.

2:26 pm

first ho5 is same as one after. replace last letter with vowel

ty.

2:27 pm

yw

is the 6 related to one of the others?

2:28 pm

just looking

2:29 pm

ho6 = first three of ho4 above + suffix, one who does it

2:29 pm

got it

2:29 pm

good clue Jellen

Sketchy word, that

2:30 pm

yup

I guess if it can be an ism, it can be that- but I always wondered why it isn't spelled with a w. I thought it has to do with w-ho***

2:31 pm

anybody, the le5

Sierra Le***

2:32 pm

Thanks, Kaplan

2:33 pm

tx Kap. I knew it would be something I couldn't miss. Except I did.

It's a bit soon for me to start begging, bit I have none of the longer is words. Are they related to the shorter?

2:33 pm

Just getting to them too.

2:34 pm

2:35 pm

Last night?

2:36 pm

After the flip...stayed up late...

2:36 pm

I have no el's...

You are dedicated. Is there a big fanfare?

2:36 pm

2:36 pm

Yet, that is :-)

All the el's suck.

2:37 pm

2:37 pm

ou7 extends ou6

and the second en6/16 and the fi6. Glad to trade clues unless we are missing the same ones

2:51 pm

ou6= not in + to view

2:51 pm

en + 4th vowel + not bro

Thanks

2:52 pm

fi6 adds a vowel to the fi5 above

fi6 and the second en6. But if you start cluing me on the ones I already have, I might freak out again- I can't always control myself (it's because I was born with an extra vowel)

jellen- you seem to have everything. Are you done?

2:54 pm

the ca's anyone?

2:54 pm

No, I have 69 left...

2:54 pm

2:58 pm

Ugh! tough job

2:58 pm

You ain't kidding- I could only do it because she is out of town with a friend for the long weekend

2:59 pm

I wanted to be done by 4 and just made it.

2:59 pm

lol that's the time to do it then

2:59 pm

Heroic, Kaplan!

I don't know how she accumulates so many articles of clothing. DO they spontaneously generate, or something?

3:00 pm

they grow in there.

And is there some relation to why our bank account is always near empty?

3:00 pm

could be

3:00 pm

i remember those times...daughter is now 24 and cleans her own house, come to think of it she is not nearly as sloppy as when she lived here, why is that?

How does one kid have so many shirts?

3:01 pm

somebody's buying them. hmmm...

My 20 year old is now very neat- when she is not at home. Also cooks. Thinks I'm a lousy housekeeper (true.)

3:01 pm

my daughter had 24 in the wash one time, will never forget that

They will likely have kids someday. Payback!

4:28 pm

how goes things across the water today?

4:28 pm

My in -laws used to live there.

4:29 pm

I babble withor without lunch. Had soup. Very good. Got better over the several days of warming.

It has really grown.

4:29 pm

the oxtail soup? that smelled really good last week. or was that the week before?

I'm watching last nights pairs competition. to me that has got to be hard, I mean, what if your partner messes up and you have a perfect skate???

4:30 pm

They had a lovely new home, but no trees or anything, just bare ground.

4:30 pm

cute gator pic, red. I approve on the cuteness factor alone! *approving mama look*

hmmm, there are trees now.

well, it isnt scary.

4:31 pm

That happened the first night, the girl landed wrong and ruined their score.

I just can not imagine how the partner must feel...

4:32 pm

I think if one skates at that level, red, one knows that "it happens" to everyone, even during important competitions.

true, but I guess If I were a pair I'd feel better if both of u were involved in the error....you know.

4:33 pm

wow. down to 96. can I hit halfway before my classmates arrive?

4:33 pm

Last night she was perfect and they were so happy.

you can do it yes you can Stid!!!

Is that the pair that trains in Tampa?

4:34 pm

You can do it if anyone can. I have 100 left and not in competition. No triple toe loops for me.

4:34 pm

wow. and I did! you are clairvoyant, red! LOL

4:34 pm

I dunno. She is only 16.

4:34 pm

6:24 pm

jeff7: no + vowel + female sibling

6:24 pm

need one or 2 ideas for a good read for the mrs.im not up to speed on the latest female authors:(

what does the mrs like to read?

I can recommend some very good murder myseterys, written by a Spanish woman, but if she likes romance, well...

6:26 pm

well,she likes danielle steel,v.c andrews, and enjoyed the harry potter series,and was so so with twilight series

6:26 pm

ty jm

6:26 pm

no red,murder mysteries please

I liked harry potter, but had no use for the rest.

6:27 pm

she loves true crime etc

Oh she would like this then.

6:27 pm

max haines etc

Alicia Giminez-Bartlett A book called Death Rites, and one called dog day, and there is a third.

6:28 pm

ill look her up ty red

It's set in Spain, so a bit different. I loved them.

YW. I have more...LOL

6:29 pm

ill take annother please

do they have to be womens authors?

I mean female?

6:30 pm

nope just a good read

6:31 pm

myself i like clive cussler and history books and sci fi with a touch of fantasy

6:31 pm

I like Robert Crais. He has a new mystery out.

Matt Beynon Rees writes murder mysteries set in the West Bank, the protagnoist is a School teacher...takes place in Bethlehem and Nablus.

I seem to be reading a lot of murder....

I also read a very nice book....hold on I need to look it up...

6:32 pm

i guess im just looking for a good read..from a womans perspective

6:33 pm

that's a very (ahem) broad category, crossy

I just finished a nice read, from a variety of perspectives, but the title is eluding me...

6:34 pm

with me its easy,i could read off 1000 titles i want to read,but it is harder with the ladies

6:34 pm

what women consider a good read depends so much on their interest and background

6:35 pm

indeed jbv..i can christmas shope easy with her,but buying her a book she likes is almost impossible

6:36 pm

it's hard to buy a book for someone else - gift certificate to the bookstore is my recommendation

6:36 pm

Has she read any Sara Paretsky mysteries? It has a female detective.

6:36 pm

either that or she has to get better at dropping big hints....

6:37 pm

lol,well thank you,you have given a a direction at least

6:38 pm

he7 ? help please?

My Dad actually gets my books for Xmas and birthday- we goes with the recommendations of the book shop man at the independent bookshop, never failed me yet!

I see a ca 6 in lickety, but I cant seem to find it here...

COngats JBV!

6:52 pm

think las vegas, red

Oh tyvm! fish me...

6:53 pm

one large mackerel, coming up....

6:53 pm

hi and here and there -- watching the men's skating with 22 to go

6:53 pm

ok, really going now (poof!)

hi jilli!

6:53 pm

Hi jilli. I just got here and am watching the men at the same time too

i can not decide if i want skating or ncis....

Can I admit that Johnn wier irritates me.

6:54 pm

what a story about that little guy from France who was so wonderful!

6:54 pm

where we are, we can have it all red!

6:54 pm

the skating is a one-off

well, ncus is on at 8, as is skating....

6:55 pm

only saw the one who just finished

6:56 pm

oh -- what a shame -- he was born in Brazil and abandoned on the street -- a French couple adopted him. He danced to perfection to the music from Munich with such poignancy too.

6:56 pm

I don't know if there is a word for your fear jilli, but I found one that is pretty weird -- fear of teenagers, and it has a name

Maybe I shall be lucky, if they were smart they should have the NCIS be a rerun,,,,

6:57 pm

exactly, red.

6:58 pm

bugs, your teen phobia is quite understandable!

6:58 pm

Here comes Yevtushenko -- bfn!

6:59 pm

Red, I just checked. NCIS is called Good Cop Bad Cop and does not say it is new. Do you remember one that might fit that name? It could be a rerun for you.

6:59 pm

oh, it's just the warm-up -- he's not on yet but Chipeur is...

7:00 pm

I meant Plushenko, duh, not the poet

7:01 pm

Yevtushenko was one of my favourite poets. I still tell kids, "Be equal to your talent, not your age."

Bugs I think it is a rerun....Yaaay....I remember it a little...

7:02 pm

Hurray for red. You can have it all too

back to olympics! but does Johnny Wier irritate anyone else? or am I just out there.

7:04 pm

he was never one of my favourites red. what irritates you?

I think its the air of drama he tries to create, that and the fact that he wore real fox fur...

and he comes off as a whiney pansie.

7:05 pm

many of them are pansies which doesn't bother me, but whiney - you bet that is annoying.

the French Skater just went here, and he did a really nice job.

The pansy part does not bother me...its the whiney part...

7:06 pm

I loved the way Toller Cranston skated but he whines too

7:06 pm

Hello my babble friends!

either they are not showing it on NBC, after all hes not American (ugh) but I will look for him...

Hi MPitt!

7:06 pm

HI MPitt

Mpitt, I adore your icon.

7:07 pm

sorry red, Toller is WAY old

7:08 pm

going to get a new icon...brb oh and I to think John Weir should have a "d" added to his last name!!!

7:08 pm

meant "too"

OK I feel better. I feel a b it uncharitable, as I really think people shoudl jsut be who they are, but he is sort of trying too hard ot be who he is...

ahhh, not tonight then!

7:09 pm

ty red...I've had it for a while but I didn't play for a week or so...nasty sinus thing...but I'm here now

7:09 pm

4 words to go.....and every one of them is O

Go JMitch you can do it!

7:09 pm

*sob*

7:09 pm

oh oh

do you have the competiton where you try to "not in , and behave very badly word?

Hope you are feeling better Mpitt.

7:11 pm

I'm watching the sakting on a Canadian channel called Rogers Sportsnet

Jilli, is the skating live actually? Are we both watching the Austrian skater?

7:12 pm

yes, it's live, red

7:12 pm

yep. I just stumbled onto two of them.

Oh nice! I am finding I really enjoy the mens skating this year.

7:12 pm

but this guy is from Poland -- he just finished his bit.

7:12 pm

I am seeing a Polish fellow

Oh, we are not watching it in the same time then...you know the NBC always sort of changes stuff around. We are watching an austrian in black, or brown...

7:15 pm

now comes a Finn

Now we are having an indepth interview with Pluschenko.

it is interesting bt I would like to see the skating.

7:18 pm

NBC here is showing local news

7:20 pm

7:22 pm

7:22 pm

The Finn didn't do very well.

7:23 pm

7:26 pm

Overall he did well but you can tell he was excited

7:28 pm

Plushenko is next

showing Plushenko now...

7:28 pm

well -- I guess WE'RE on a tape delay!

he is just getting going.

Plushenko is what NBC is televising in EST as well

his costume is so glittery.

7:30 pm

... does a triple sowcow for all the spectators...

he does seem a bit rough...

7:33 pm

Oh ruru, your costume has such lovely sequins and floaty bits of cloth!

is it black?

or purple?

7:34 pm

has a hint of pink

7:34 pm

7:37 pm

Well, the Olympic rings in the harbour are golden again for the women's snowboard cross :-)

7:39 pm

7:44 pm

sort of monkey-snot green

7:44 pm

lol

7:44 pm

well, if you're an expert in monkey-snot what can I say?

7:45 pm

I have met a few snotty monkeys in my day

7:45 pm

did anyone have the answer to your phobia and what it is called jilli?

7:46 pm

no such luck, ruru!

7:46 pm

I have never heard of it before..

7:47 pm

I hadn't either -- wonder if anyone but the victim has

well, Alligators are not my phobia....but I saw them today.

7:48 pm

YAY peach!!!

Oh Wow! what beautiful shots of the mountains in BC!!!

congrats Peach!

8:24 pm

Must go and get supper now -- back asap

8:25 pm

we are so fortunate to have views like that every day, red.

8:25 pm

red, have you ever been out this way?

I have been very close. I lived in Oregon for 2 years, did a lot of hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail, but did not get all the wa up in BC, just close to the border.

8:26 pm

you will have lots of free places to stay if you ever get this far north red

8:26 pm

i live in alberta and the views of the rockies here are spectacular ... BUT ... i have never felt as i did while sitting in the middle of kootenay lake, surrounded by the mountains of the same name. it was as if i was sitting in a postcard

oh no, I would never want to be a houseguest!

8:26 pm

i've been to klamath and chiloquin, oregon

not after last week.

I lived in Corvallis. nearish to Eugene.

8:27 pm

(but that was many, many years ago)

8:27 pm

I think you would be a GOOD houseguest after last week

8:27 pm

oh heck, the best houseguests are those who've had rotten houseguests!

8:28 pm

Oregon has many beautiful areas too, especially the coastline

yes, I usually just hide and try to drink water from the tap...

8:29 pm

oh .. guess what i did. i fell on new year's eve and sprained my ankle (common for me). six weeks later and it still hurts, so i went to the doc, had x-rays and get a load of this...

8:29 pm

my ligament was pulled in such a way, and with such force, that it actually pulled a shard of bone from my ankle!

you broke it???

Oh no, how will this get fixed?

8:30 pm

technically, yes

8:30 pm

and you have been walking on it for 6 weeks?!

8:31 pm

it's not a big piece of bone. i'm fortunate that my podiatrist's specialty is foot reconstruction .. he wants to immobilize it for a couple of weeks to see what happens. he's not too concerned that the piece of bone will "float," since it's still attached to the ligament

does not sound like fun Welki, but you can still fish right?

8:32 pm

hehehe. technically, no. and not drive either. but i finagled him into 'allowing' me to drive to and from work without the walking cast (which needs to be refitted tomorrow ... i TOLD the tech it was too big, but she pooh poohed me),

8:33 pm

(and we won't tell him about the fishing)

8:33 pm

gotta tell you, though ... it felt great to have something be TOO BIG for a change! LOL

LOLOL, I hope it gets to feeling a lot better soon....

8:34 pm

he's a good guy ... noticed a cyst in my fibula and some calcification around my heel (along with 3 more heel spurs) .. i've told my m.d. about my family's rheumatoid history, but this podiatrist wrote up an order for labs

ahhh I can not stay awake for anything anymore. goodnight dear babblers.

will see you tomorro!

8:35 pm

g'night dear red ... sweet dreams

8:36 pm

Nite red. sleep well

8:37 pm

bugs, where in b.c. are you?

8:44 pm

Hi all. How are things in Babbleland?

8:45 pm

hello babble kittens!

8:45 pm

hello, wht, pippin

8:47 pm

hi welki

8:47 pm

that's kind of how i broke my ankle was ripping the ligaments on one side and the other side pulled the bone so hard it snapped

8:48 pm

Sounds like a bad day for Babblefeet.

8:48 pm

so... i have a date! i asked the climbing fella last night and today i got a yes, his work schedule permitting so yay for me!

8:48 pm

yes, but you really did a number on yours .. heavy metal inside. i'm hoping to avoid that

8:49 pm

8:52 pm

9:02 pm

en5/10, dan? Anagram of 'no' word for plural Christmas.

9:17 pm

9:17 pm

I thought I was going to see examples of all the stuff you've knitted for Mr. Clooney.

9:17 pm

LOL

9:18 pm

no one is here but me

9:18 pm

9:18 pm

no worries. i will just forward all my unsolicited email to you!

9:19 pm

DR - do you have your hands over your eyes so you can't see us? We can still see you. LOL

9:19 pm

that is weird

9:19 pm

yes DR you are all alone we are not here

9:19 pm

ak - don't you bl**dy dare! I get enough unasked for invitations to buy Viagra every day as it is.

9:19 pm

9:20 pm

story of my li4

9:20 pm

tee hee hee

9:20 pm

So can someone who isn't here help me with my last two ho words. The first ho 5,12 and the ho6,21?

9:21 pm

Surely anyone who has played Babble and then come back for the chog for the past 5 years is weird?

9:21 pm

I am proud to be weird

9:21 pm

nope not weird

9:21 pm

perfect is boring

9:22 pm

First ho5.12 (says a voice from the ether) is to lift up a heavy weight like a crane might do.

9:22 pm

It means the same as the he5/12 below it.

9:23 pm

Ty jac. I have learned something today.

9:23 pm

ho6.21 might be the li4 the cops have of the prostitutes in the area.

9:23 pm

time for best in show at westminster. BBL to complete the grid. thanks for the company

9:24 pm

bye AK

9:24 pm

ho6 really means something like this: 'Psychology. any psychologic system postulating that the human mind must be studied as a unit rather than as a sum of its individual parts.'

9:24 pm

See you again soon, I hope, AK.x

9:26 pm

Or in other words, 'whole body approach'.

9:27 pm

ty jac. Finally got that. Fireworks

9:27 pm

Now, take the 'ic' off the end of the word you are trying to spell and you will have it.

9:27 pm

Well done, wht.

hello all!

9:29 pm

Hi TO.

is there more than one kn word?

9:29 pm

Hi TO.

9:29 pm

There are 3 of them

9:29 pm

3, TO.

hi jacs. ty whit, i only have the cutting implement so far

heist

9:30 pm

The other is a Russion whip.

9:31 pm

Don't go stealing things TO.

9:31 pm

The other 2 kn words describe a whip with multi leather thongs at the end, once used in Russia for flogginh 'criminals'. Sounds like slang word for 'nothing' (UK slang word..)

9:32 pm

si6 please?

9:32 pm

The other kn5 also sounds a bit like a tangled up rope.

9:33 pm

The gel you find in little pouches to remove any moisture when yu buy a handbag, for instance.

9:33 pm

si6 - the major ingrediant of sand.

9:33 pm

That last post was a clue for DR.

9:33 pm

ty Jac- I was using the wrong S

9:33 pm

si7 is the plural.

ty

9:34 pm

y/w DR.

9:34 pm

and TO.

9:35 pm

9:37 pm

TO, I was sure 'kenif' was a word and tried it several times.

well i have threee k words and am sitll missing 2 k words

as well as the top left a

9:39 pm

The word I was thinking of was 'kenaf'.

9:40 pm

TO - kn5.20 = kn + 'not in'. kn6 is the plural.

wow i ahev NEVER seen skater skate to jimmy hendrix!

ty jacs i have three kn words , i thought you said there were only three

9:40 pm

not on here yet TO

9:41 pm

TO - the top 'a' os af6/36 which = af + 'not coarse'.

ty

9:41 pm

To - yes, there are only 3 kn words.

9:41 pm

I will be a good babble ho 4/5 and provide you with a story of clues. Since it was a V-Day a few days ago,I will tell you about li4/7 with my husband.We both fell head over he5/12 eachother when we met in 1993. I thought that he was the hottest guy that I had ever se4/4.He had some cheesy pick-up li 4/4 for me. But we have been together ever since. We walked down the ai 5/10 & became man and wi 4/11 in Oct. 2005. The wedding was fi 4/7 with no mishaps.But then we could not decide where to go for our honeymoon. He wanted a honeymoon in Vegas where the ca7/32 are but I decl5/12ed that idea.An argument en 5/12 and we were cl 5/12 to not having a honeymoon.Thought he might even fi4/7 for a divorce over it. So we had honeymoon in Mystic,CT.We bought our first ho5/14 in March 2007.The rest is history.I hope to never be alo4/4 again. Even though he can be a lo 5/12 and a w4/8 ass sometimes and I have wanted to ou4/5 him right out to the curb,I would hate to ever lo4/4 him. I would be lo 4/4 without him. I hope you are able to fi 4/7 away some of these clues. Now I am off to bed.

performance doesn ot match music though

11:10 pm

now have the first 2 and last 2

11:10 pm

* giggle *

11:10 pm

...some day when you're feeling irreplacible, sometime when your egos in bloom...try this little exercise and see how you'll be missed..take a bucket and fill it with water...put your arm in up to your wrist...pull it out and the hole that's remaining..is just exactly how much you'll be missed....you can splash all you want when you enter..you can make a marvelous twist...but you'll find that when you remove your arm...it will be quite like it was before you entered the room...

11:10 pm

* sigh of relief * pip, not sure how much I could take on the first date (I mean, remember, living vicariously thru ya)

well, I think im going to be the mystery woman here for a few days. Then I will post a profile....just to keep it fun.
