west, judgement is brit spelling and quite correct
I said they were both correct
I was really trying to come up with a picture
I didn't read far enough, shame on me, sorry, west
that's okay jilli that's why I put the 'disclaimer' lol
Clues are up
oh tonight I watched an interview with the pretty blonde skateboarder Lindsay ?
ty Lickety
Thanks Lickety!
bless you lickety
this is going to be tough
Thanks Lickety!!!
and I counted 16 'you knows' in the first 10 seconds of the interview
like Caroline Kennedy...
that was followed by a string of 'likes' whatever happened to the proper use of the language
I didn't realize Caroline does that too..she should know better
she tried for politics in 2008 but that did her in
I think the Kennedy era is just about over Patrick is not running for reelection
phant: melodic
pretty pini and hi
hi hi ;)
hi flosey sorry I missed you
really west!

my family hates me because I am always complaining about billboards, written language, and spoken language being so "lazy" and incorrect...
we have become a nation of idiots
he's our congressman and the wanna be's are coming out of the woodwork
dee, I get into trouble over such matters too
I always feel Miss Gilligan's eyes burning a hole in the back of my head
I get told "language evolves" but I say no need to have it devolve. Why, when there is a choice between the correct and the incorrect way of saying something, so many choose the incorrect. I was shocked that Anderson Cooper talked about bodies "laying" in the streets of Haiti. Surely he was brought up to use the correct "lying"?
Jili, about a year ago, I told them if they improved their vocabulary, then I would have nothing to nag about LOL
TOTALLY agree jili!!!
jilli, i'm with you 100%!
I SOOOO feel your pain Dee
"It is I"... has devolved into It is me... idiotic
I still "nag" my kids and they're adults now!
we all are in the same club!
phantom: clemency
fireworks
good one melon
nice find, melon ;)
how many this time?
wtg grem
my favorite is her and me went to the store
yay, grem!
only 103 ML
what really kills me is when native speakers of the language still manage to mangle common words
My grandson is doing his MA in Creative Writing and is eloquent with the written word, but when talking used "like" all the time.
west, also "Bob and myself"
jill were u on FB before coming here?
grrr makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up
I cringed at Palin saying "laxadaisical"
my phant... decibel
yay speedy grem missed you last night
Thanks west
The new Olympic anthem ends with "for you and I"
i have notice that the kids use "like" rather than "um" when speaking these days

mlf I've been here most of the day
like, you know?
yipes jili
are you cross eyed yet jill?
wtg grem
wtg grem
I think a good number of people believe they come from "the valley"; like, you know!?
Pinik that is where it comes from i think
well, mlf, I've been diddling around here while watching the Olympics
i watched american idol instead
so, "the valley" is co4? I thought it came from the "valley girls"
to each his/her own, mlf
another phantom: lobelia
45 to go -- nite, all -- happy babbling! *poof*
when we first moved to CA our girls brought home friends and I thought they were just being funny but they really did talk that way

hello ruby
well, that's nice to hear, west
Hi Ruby
have you seen the Proctor and Gamble commercial about the Moms
it brings tears to my eyes
no -- we may be getting a different set of commercials here
no -- we probably don't get the same commercials here
hi ruby
I agree Jilli, I was very surprised Monday night when one of the fellows was disappointed in it
I west and nan and jilli and flowey
flosey** sorry
my husband wont watch it, so I am stuck with reading about the JO in the newspaper
hi ruby :)
it's so dear it shows little children about to participate in the different sports and then it says to the moms they're still their kids
no problem ruby
I thought the whole show was terrific -- especially the way the totems changed into trees (or was it the other way around?)
I'm hoping there will be a dvd available of the opening and closing ceremonies and maybe the highlights
yes, the totems changed into trees -- I loved that part too
it was so amazing
why doesn't your husband go and do something else while you watch, ruby?
time for me to hit the sack -- see you tomorrow -- have a good night :)

oh my, sorry
ty flosey -- I even had a friend in high school by that name!
didn't realize it was that time
aha, was that shortened from a ce****ia
wasn't sent to the pb, but my punishment was that my screen froze and I had to re-boot!
it always does at this time ruby
I really don't remember, flosey!
I just check my email
I like that song
yes, who sings it west?
simon and garfunkel
oh, hated when they broke up
I did too
wasn't it you, ruby, who dated Paul Simon in college?
omg, you remembered! Yes, I was the only girl short enough and he used to sing for me when we'd go for rides in his '57 Chevy convertible!
how romantic ruby
that is so cool
if my hubby sang to me, am afraid it would not be at all romantic!
I was too young for it to be romantic AND he was very unattractive, except for his voice
lol flosey
but we were surely friends
mine couldn't carry a tune to save his life. Couldn't spell either -- today's theme would have been perfect for him.
is ci5 a fish?
same here jilli, doesn't have the patience to spell properly
I gave mine a Bad Speller's Dictionary once
sort of she said batting her eyes
he really liked it!
ty west, you devil you!
wonder if that would have helped our son jilli - he still spells phonetically
lol
fortunately, his work is in computers
no fish jilli - nearly girls name - change 2nd letter
and computers have spell cheques ;)
ty, dipp I got it
lol jilli, yes
I think those make paramecium swim?
lol
yep (paramecia, pl)
bo5/16?
duh, biology courses are more than 50 years ago!!!
acid for your eyes
focleaning the eyes
was just thinking that west, is it still used? Thought it was stopped
I don't really know flosey my eyes hardly ever get dirty
mine are over 60 years ago
believe it or not, if you have cockroaches (but no pets), it gets rid of them when used in its dry form
I remember my father used to have an eye cup
my father, too
ty west for the acid
and a shaving brush
otherwise, it is poison for the pets
I have several cobalt blue eye cups...
I still have my dad's eye cup (pack-rat, me)
pretty jellen do you display them?
but those things are treasures jilli
my dad used a straight razor and had a leather strop for it
Yes, I collect cobalt blue glass...
I still have my dad's shaving brush I use it to dust pleated lampshades
great use west
I collect blue depression glass and also blue and chite cina and pottery
great idea, west!
white*
Would love to see your collection, ruby!
I collect dust
Dust collects itself, I think...
and reproduces under beds, yes
Whenever I break something blue or blue and white I sve it and intent to make a mosaic bench (see Gaudi) some day, if I last that long!
save it and intend* still sleepy, sorry for typoes
what a good idea ruby
lovely in your garden, ruby
that's what I think, but haven't found a plain bench to decorate yet
and, of course, husband resists the idea.....
ruby, I've seen pictures of that used as a border above counters in a kitchen, wonder if it was someone in babble
I've been saving the broken stuff for many years!
I think it was used amongst other tiles
sounds as if he needs a good shaking, ruby, to get rid of the silly ideas
hi everyone
he Andree
**hi
hello andree
hello andree
Hi, Andree
hi andree
he's a bully about his ideas
that's not good, ruby
I know
help needed here for the co5s after the hue

Well, I'm over halfway, and brain has abruptly stopped functioning...have fun, all!

sammy asked for a clue and someone said movie stars I thought
rile
ty josh, fishslap
I will try that thanks
yes, an abreviation of how you might refer to movie stars ce5

West if you give me your email i can send them to you
west, herin isn't much older now
that's true
This was 15 years ago. I was just so supprised in a good way.

I was looking over at the plastic barbie girls today and one of the girls actually had a website up with cheap decent clothes. And the girl that bothers me was looking at rental houses a long long long way away. I hope she moves mid year.

Scary is I actually did my homework Had dinner and got organised
and cue the phone *sigh* back in a bit.
This grid is overloaded with vowels, bet there will be a shortage of them tomorrow.
THis grid is a PITA
yup would agree there.
Sorry distracted by hot boy on tv
:) np
How have you been?
Very well thanks herin, getting settled into new house and exploring the area, once all the snow had gone. It is a beautiful sunny morning here. Hows college going?
Classes are long. Getting organised fairly early on. I am fascinated by this dancer. He is a real Aussie bloke. Into the cars and showing of but an amazing dancer
I am glad you like the new house
oh phone again! don't people know that I need time to babble!
Tell the person on the line to please go away busy
lol, can't it's a client. bbl
man I hate this grid!
hello again. back and a little more settled. will try not to make any boners!
I agree, forward, it's very hard for me, too
this is a stinker grid...
i only have 40 words and have been doing this for a while!
I've spent more than an hour and still don't have half, and that's with some help from the chog!
It gets a lot easier after you have found all the words
hahah BR!
there are many lovely phantom words like cyclamen!
my phantom is: sacerdotophrenia
the only thing I have are the b's, if anybody needs one.....
too funny, br, you sound like one of the oxymorons in lexulous blitz
i'm missing one b ruby - I have be5, bo 4,4,4,4
bo5/16 solution for eyes, old-fashioned
did your dad have some in the medicine chest with a little eye cup?
i don't think so, not rining a bell here
also good against cockroaches, but poison for pets
ah, just saw it - thanks
bo + nickname for **chard
***hard
Have finished 2 long phone calls and am hping that I can get this grid done. Morning ruby and hello forward
I've gotten to the point where I hate when the phone rings!
getting to be a taciturn old lady, except in writing
lol welcome to the babble world :)
you are much more sociable than I, FM, and everybody loves you
am thinking of getting a clause written into my contrtact that says I can and will babble at will.
shall I write a letter to your boss?
Ah that would be me ruby as I work for myself, I regularly fire and rehire myself.
hahah
*flop*
hello ata!
is flop the other side of flip?
I've been independant now for about 5 years and it was the bst move I ever made although there have been some scary moments.
Ata!!!!
Where have you and Hobbity been to day?
glad to see I am living up to bad spelling icon theme day *sigh*
just to the local woods. she loves it there, she runs round like a psycho barking at phessies, rabbits, shadows, trees, other dogs, nothing at all ...
finally got to half but can't see much more...
awe - do you have the lovely spring morning too?
it's absolutely *glorious*
the c's are a bit of a nightmare ruby
cold and grey here and they're predicitng precipation
is coolie considered perjorative and that's why it's not accepted?
It is the most lovely sunny morning with pale blue skies and wispy clouds.
cold but not too cold, bit of frost, bright sunshine, blue skies
ruby, with the database behind the grid we never know.
Ata have you checked email this morning?
the English (rather than American) dictionary in lexulous is very liberal; it allows naughty words in the game, but never in the chat
nope
the DB behind this is Enable and is very quirky.
I've only walked the dog for an hour, done half an hour of wii fit, gone shopping ... you want me to read email too??!
of course, yr a woman so can multi task :)
this is much harder than lex blitz which is why I like it
busy ata, oh, to be young again!!!!
yes she is a pup really compared to us.
multi-task, talk out of both sides of your mouth?
going into canterbury in an hour for a much needed hair cut, then home and do my day's MSc stuff :D
BR I knew you were lurking there somewhere.
time to water the husband, see yu later
LOL ruby TTFN
lol Ruby, bye
Hello all - narky grid

husband's best friend's father (husbnad is really friend of their family) is 75 tomorrow. big posh drinks reception at their very big very posh mansion in Putney
I really don't want to go LOL
Definitely need a new dress - you wouldn't want to shame husband! probably need new shoes too
*grin* I knew you'd see it the same way as I do :P
it's really an excuse to go buy something expensive in Monsoon
Putney wow. Go Ata, who knows who will be there and you might even enjoy yourself.
oh, it'll be ok. it's just a long way for some drinks!
its about 2 hours each way from here, Lyn. Joy!
That is a bummer.
Is the driving or by train?
train and tub
tube!
maybe the tub could be quicker?
probably!!
I have to see what buses go down the King's Road. I hate tubes
wow, ob6 is allowed? I tried it cos it's a scienific name for a sea anemone thing
Seeing as I am done with the grid and the morning is moving on - I have to go. Things to do and all that. TTFN and Happy Babbling.
Bye FM, have a good productive day
bye dear!
There a loads of buses going down the Kings Rd, Ata. Happy hunting! Peter Jones usually have some nice stuff.
oooo hydra! I was going to tell you something a few days ago. but I didn't see you and now I can't remember what it was
hello Hydra
You need this transport link, Ata http://www.tfl.gov.uk/
Hi lynxxx! And wonder what you wanted to tell me, Ata?
oh oh I remember! here: I hope facebook will let you read this: http://goo.gl/rmXf
All it did was log me onto my own page. What was it meant to be?
a dream I had that I thought you'd like
with random corridors full of midnight blue and purple andy warhol style prints of marc bolan!
Damn! Didn't know you were on Facebook. Can we become Facebook friends? Then I can read it.
It sounds amazing! What were you on that night???!
I am!! Becky Hitchin. Nooooo idea. I normally have odd dreams, but that was quite fun and odd
Right. I'll go om Facebook now and put in a friends request. Laters!
woot!
that's all I seem to do in FB at the moment. Tell people my weird dreams

Hello Eva

The whole thing just looks so free and easy, obviously it's dangerous but it doesn't look it
This grid makes me want to bite someone
Mullet and sequins!

i cant get that co 6 clue. who is dame edna?
saw figures skating and snowboard last nite
Barry Humphries is Dame Edna Everidge
sorry - Everage
so who is dame ednas australian person? her child? not getting it as i dont know who she is.
Google her
mkg is not the character it's what she does, when you imitate or make fun of you do a pa****
ok. dont know it but must think.
ty jean
ty got it.
thx jean - learned new word
tks to lynx it was her original clue :-) so I just learned it too
thx lynxx
Barry Humphries created his character Edna Everage (Average) being an average Australian working class housewife from Moonee Ponds here in Victoria. Over the years as 'she' has become better travelled and very well known, esp in UK, she has become more extreme and also was made a dame. O am surprised you haven't seen here in the US, she was even in the Aly McBeal for quite a few episodes - perhaps you thought she was a woman!
and he/she's done several one man/woman shows on Broadway!
I've seen him/her, always thought a brit, not ozzie
hi Une
hey, lynxxx :-)
did she receive food & beverage whilst visiting?
watching BAFTA Awards previews: http://tinyurl.com/ydenxx6
68% of the letters are vowels - this won't be easy for my brain
BAFTA's are soooo much more fun that our Academy Awards!

Bye Annie
bye annie, happy laundering
bichon, a comic imitation is a pa****, put the co in front
cant leave until bichon gets the co6
co 5,14 and co5,16 following it please
I got it! That was a weird one. ty all for being patient
you mean before? co 5/14 is to make loving sounds
past tense of a pigeon or doves song, and change ending to sometimes vowel
boil
it sure was, bichon
now I am gone
I have the 5,12 for hues, tint, but I am missing the 5,14 and 5,16 after it and cannot find them
mudd, past tense of loving sounds (think doves)
Ah, thank you much
co 5/16---dove sounds and you see with your **es
dove sound not sounds
I don't know what is with my brain today; I didn't take a tylenol pm last night or anything.
Sometimes I think it simply shuts down with short grids.
co 5/16 --dove sound and you see with your **es
Of course, once I got the co 5,16 from your clues, the 7 was a cinch.
oh good! not I am really gone.
So did you put a load of laundry in and return to chat with us some more?
The four last cy words were new to me.
~ Firewords ~ finally, what an onery little grid
i think we should get extra points when a babbler's handle is in the grid!
whoooo hooooo MEL!!
Wtg Meliae
I agree ibdawger ... mine has been here a time or two
thank you, I am here back and forth checking e-mails and getting some breakfast made
Suddenly the chatter stopped. I was on the phone ... usually buried in the grid, but not this time.
I'm plodding along and have finished the a,b,c,d, words.
Some of these words are an absolute hoot. That generally happens with shorter grids. I miss the s, n, and t.
there are some very strange words in the grid today but luckily the placement of the key higher tiles helped with the monkeying, at least for me it did
Oh for sure that's true. Many times they are the ones that get me through. Just like that and I am up to the 'l' words.
need a clue for my7, please?
I'm in the l words, not that far yet Marc. Maybe later if you still need it.
MY 7 first 5 letters or previous word with 2 vowels
my+girl's name
I'm anxious to get to the my and check out those good clues. Thanx in advance.
is there a 5 letter word after my? If so, what are those two letters that it starts with?
hell
oh crap, i mean hello!
see my clue Marc
Yes saw that but still having difficulty
my+c....
Thanks got it.
My daughter's name is Marcy. Think of how her given name might actually end.
There's a bit of her name in the my word.
My wifes name is Marci
yw
Or my + your body is composed of ***ls.
Hi Harpjane, having my harp regulated next week and all new strings. Quite expensive. Hope I can keep it in tune then.
There's no i in my daughter Marcy's name. The fifth letter is a different vowel.
Does the my6 work of the 7 or is it completely different
You drop the final vowel of the my 6 and change it to two different vowels.
My + first three letters of minute part of body, then two vowels.
co 6/24?? anyone
Build on the co 4,6 a bit above it and add two more vowels. It ends in three vowels altogether.
add to vowels to the 4/6 Ruru
thank you
Mudd that would be 7 letters not 6
Yes, that is for the my 7. The six has a different vowel than the final two for my 7. Drop two off the my 7 and make a different vowel there.
my6 is my + long stick like veggie grows in bunches---carrot and ****ry sticks
got it thanks
MY 6/30 MY+ I carry a ***l phone with me +2nd vowel
Fireworks! Bye all. Tomorrow?
wtg Rumple and tata
bye Rumple have a wonderful day and congrats
phinally phinished. pffah
lolol Lb how are you today? and congrats
Oh that's great Meliae. I was thinking of the small part of our body, but a ***l phone is a much better clue.
Wait until Marc hits the ob words ... a regular medley of vowels.
i'm doing better now that i'm done with the grid. guess that means i need to go do something constructive. how are you, meli?
and whoooo hoooooo RUMPLE!!

Hello, Dorens
i'm finally back in school... it seems like it's been ages.. snow days last wednesday and thursday and "inservice" day Friday and holiday the last two days. then delayed opening this morning due to icy roads. it seems like years
how have you been babblerabble?
Each day brings us closer to spring
Not so hot, actually. Have been trying different meds and different dosages. I think I was better off before the changes .... but who knows how it will eventually sort out?
ahh, sorry to hear this. you bring so much comfort to others here; wish we could be of help to you.
It is just a process that must be traversed. Thank you for the kind words. You have been a wonderful friend.
that actually brought tears to my eyes... thanks. and I like your Poe poem; surprised I'd never seen it before.
are we having a babble love-in? :d
leave it to ata to spoil the mood :)
Hi all...........BR Im sorry you are not well at the moment
it's that demon dog -- hey ata, have you ever made a mustard sauce in which to dip those spinach balls
Two very sad sights in Marks and Spencer's today. 1. Valentine's flowers at half price (looking a bit droopy) 2. A sign indicating a bargain in HOISERY. I took a photo with my phone camera but have no clue how to download it. You'll have to take my word for it.
hoisery half sale... understandable
Hi Haz
Hello! We're looking more springlike here as well.
ah, well we had four - five inches of snow here yesterday, and last night it got very cold so all the wet roads turned to ice. still below freezing now at 1 pm. not quite springlike
Snow is bad enough, ice is so treacherous.
lots of accidents on the road this morning - glad we had delayed school opening
*passes by chog, hears talk of snow and ice, and runs for her life* no more snow!! NO MORE!!
ok,
Hi Eva
okay EvaN.. no more for you, i promise
Hello EvaN.
bonjour, mes amis!
Bonjour!
Can someone tell a joke please, I need a laugh
Thank you, caitlyn. Hello, folks
Any news on the wedding front, EvaN? I watched a bit of Bridezillas the other day and concluded that those girls were either acting or they should have felt the weight of their mother's hands a lot more often than they had done.
Hello, BabbleRabble.
babblerabble is always good for a pun, if not a joke
How did the chemistry major supplement her college grant?
Hello, Haz. How is your day going?
gd evening everybody, I need a joke, too
good day all;)
Hi crossy and ruby
???
How?
sorry to miss out on the ensuing hilarity, but I need to get back to work... see you later
It's going well, BabbleRabble. Today is my daughter's 26th birthday. I am feeling considerably more comfortable than I did 26 years ago.
hi crossy and caitlin and haz
She waited periodic tables.
Bottle of Merlot A man asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an unusually attractive woman sitting alone at a table in a cozy little restaurant. So the waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, 'This is from the gentleman who is seated over there,' and indicated the sender with a nod of his head. She stared at the wine coolly for a few seconds, not looking at the man, then decided to send a reply to him by a note. The waiter, who was lingering nearby for a response, took the note from her and conveyed it to the gentleman. The note read: 'For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank and '7' inches in your pants'. After reading the note, the man decided to compose one of his own in return. He folded the note, handed it to the waiter and instructed him to deliver it to the lady. It read: 'Just to let you know things aren't always what they appear to be: I have a Ferrari Maranello, BMW Z8, Mercedes CL600, and a Porsche Turbo in my several garages; I have beautiful homes in Aspen and Miami , and a 10,000 acre ranch in Louisiana . There is over billion dollars in my bank account and portfolio. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you, would I cut off three inches. Just send the wine back.... Tiger

haz -- no news, really. this is a busy month for me. will be buckling down again come 3/1. (crossing fingers, may have a wedding band!) i agree, most of the gals on that show are totally acting. i think maybe the very first season was a little bit truthful, but the rest are crap!
Speak to you again soon, EvaN! *gone*
How are you FM?
Exciting days ahead Eva
LOL just reading Soodles joke, good one. Am fine, has been a lovely spring day here today.
Lucky you we had some snow this morning and then drizzle all day, I want spring too LOL
It is coming, every day when I look in the garden there are new things sprouting.
YEsterday it poured all day today was spring, winter will probably be back tomorrow :)
the only thing sprouting here is the hair on my chinny chin chin

Yay Atlanta. Nothing like a spot of retail therapy. Good on ye!
Hi jmc
Hi jmc
howdy jmc
husband is going to be so cross. ooops.
roco
oops
this computer does not have babble expert,must be careful
LOL Ata
Makes it all the sweeter, Ata. Now practice saying 'This old thing? I have had it for years'!
at least that didn't get you into the PB crossy.
caught me fishing
lol soodle that's the ticket
it'll work till he sees the bank statement :P
Am thinking about revamping the PB, it needs an update.
lol,women and their clothes,fluttering around like peacocks hehe
Oh what will you do FM?
well especially since jacula ran the cabana boys out
hi crossy
as men we hate the cost but love the results:)
howdy boobear
http://goo.gl/rPbe <- that dress!
most men i know spend more than i do on clothes
Hi Boo crossy you ar e a true gentleman
Don't know yet cait, mulling over a few ideas.
very cute ata!
BRING BACK THE CABANA BOYS!!!
crossy runs....
fast...
talk to jacula -- she says the pb should be a straight back chair and bread and water
Oh that is very elegant Ata.
Pish posh!
Here Here Soodle
I just *love* it
Hi Cait. How about forming a 'bring back the (cabana) boys' group?
jmc a couple of years ago I put up a really bad PB for April fools day (It was a concrete hut with a water cooler - din't go down too well. :)
it is wonderful dress and I am now meditating on being jealous of you for having it
Oh yes Soodle I second that
well I felt i had to defer to Jacula's senority in the chog
I was defenseless
at last thanks mitch
Ata you will look so good in it hubby will want you to have another :)
she even made me give up my pb police badge :-(
know what i miss with all the spandex,latex,jeans etc...a lovely lady in a nice summer dress:)
The cabana boys have never left, they wre just forgotten about for a while and feel very lonely as a result.
*sniff*
LOL jmc :D You can share it in theory if nothing else!
wait for summer crossy and you will have your dream.
rare as hens teeth round here fm
Time for me to cook ....see you all soon ,take care bye
Ata - heres an idea. Why not tell him that you donated money to some 'monsoon-stricken' land? Brownie points for being charitable.....
alas it would not look so good on my flabby body but I will wear on the 30 year thin self i still see in my minds eye
Bye cait, TTFN
yeah cabana boys!
Bye Cait
Summer is a long way off for us northern hemisphere people
bye cait
hego promised that spring would come but it doesn't look like it around here!
last year we still had snow on the ground may 10th
Evening ruby
hello fm
doesn't look great on my body either, but the patterns camoflage a lot!
hi hego
OK so we will have to wear a vest under our summer frocks then :)
long johns
where the snow fell off the slope in my front yard you can see crocus
lol
well it looks smashing on the 30 year old me!
my tulips were starting in November and now I don't see them any more..... :(
I especially like the waist
who has a waist?
Ah yes I remember 30 so well
vaguely
a dress ata bought has a waist
it's not so much I remember being 30 as the surprise i get when ever i look in the mirror and i don't look like i did then
i remember 30 as well,30 walked by the wife and i yesterday at the store and i got my ear pulled for looking too hard hehe
FM!! stop underplaying yourself!
:)
from here you all look 30 to me;)))
61 words and finished. Good night everybody!
I don't feel old and don't look old cos I am not old but one does feel the odd creak and groan that wasn't there before.
Bye ruby see you tomorrow.
since i have spent two weeks shoveling snow i have felt old every day
so do I ;)
bye ruby and whoo hooo!
Bless you crossy you are the perfect gentleman.
oh well, only 5 years under real age
BRB
I do like that dress Ata you will look good in it.
30+ considerably under real age for me
I might even wear it next Friday too ;)
oh blimey - wasn't going to dress up.
I can underdress it easily!
Nope sorry, trouser and so for for me, don't want to feel vulnerable on public transport. he he almost made Haz's classic spelling mistake there :)
You mean I'm NOT 30? I must have forgotten something...
Good morning jilli
hello everyone (briefly)!
we don't all have to match LOL!! and you'll see my lovely new hair cut. Wonder what dislike and hatred D will layer on it tonight
yep - when was it that we grew up or at least got older, am hoping that I never grow up :)
hello everyone
New hair new dress you go girl!
hi barb!
what london station do you come in to?
D will tell me I've defiled my body again, I'm sure!
Waterloo but with a change at Clapham Junction.
How he could say that after what he did to his hair.....
I know!!
I haven't had breakfast yet -- just dropped in to see the nonsense -- ttfn
Hi Barb
bye jill
that's exactly what he said last time - I'd defiled myself with pink stripes
I'm nearly afraid to ask, but what did yer man do to his hair, Ata?
omg. fm, you describe
I need to shove potato in oven
*grin* you should have seen the pic Soodle, he half shaved the back of his head because he thought it would save some £
was a mess.
Ata should have shaved one of his eyebrows to match.
then he had to go to hairdressers/barber to get it evend out
BTW, FM - was your cleaning lady a sucess?
Actually thinking about it, Ata should ahve know better and not let him near Hobbit with the clippers - same sort of story.
Oh yes she is wonderful and coming back nxt week *very big happy grin*
Maybe Ata shouldn't shove that potato in the oven - I can think of somewhere a lot more painful....
It was utterly utterly hilarious
I put a photo on babble for people to giggle at all day
ROFL
good morning/afternoon, everyone :)
Morning cnan!
Finished last night, but the curling is getting too frustrating to watch so thought I'd pop in and see if I could help out here
Hiya Nan
watching the ladies skiing
poor D but he did bring us much hilarity.
oh he did. but he still then told me I should cut me own hair to save him money
Go buy another dress!
didn't know the sking was on -- will have to go and have a peek --- doesn't look like anyone needs any cues
I did try and find some shoes too :D
I think everyone is done or just starting cnan
fm, check your email for a giggle
don't see the photo ata
which photo, cnan?
all I see is the medway set
thought you just said you posted a photo on babble for everyone to have a laugh at all day
just did and am giggling.
I did, about a year ago LOL
Do you still have the pic on file Ata?
somewhere
I couldn't lay hands on it immediatley though
OK time for me to go and put my feet up and veg out infront of the TV. TTFN and Happy Babbling
bye dear!
Bye FM - roll on next Tuesday!
what's next Tuesday??
The return of the Cleaning Lady!!
ohhhhhhhh
Thats me done. Toodle-oo all.
hello babble friends.
hello Trif, sorry, I'm in and out working on dinner and laundry...
s'okay. howdy
still have 40 words left here
slow going when trying to do so much
hi trif! I went to your fav clothes shop today ,....
yes, i imagine so
oh, man, was it a monsoon????
yep lol
bought a gorgeous dress
---snif-----my niece is visiting dublin over the weekend, and she is under STRICT instructions to go on my behalf.
http://goo.gl/rPbe - this one
will trade monsoon jealousy for a clue for the y......
I dont have it :(
major frock score ata!!!! well done you!
I do so hope she goes to monsoon....i worry that she won't go near it, just as I suggested it....
it;s all silk and utterly gorgeous
they've got a new very verry trendy fusion range
sigh.....DUBAI has a monsoon, but not the US...and they won't do int'nl sales off their website either. punishing!
thats ridiculous! however, you could always get stuff sent to the uk / ireland and repost it
yo swiss singing
I shouldnt say this, but their stuff at the moment is the best I've seen in there for years. Its all gorgeous
whooo - just got the lower center a - anyone need a clue?
oh geesh, of course, hego! Thanks for the fish!
yw
duh! ty!
yw too
I have to go be productive now. see you later, hopefully?
this grid will take ages
bbl
back
sorta
lol
it's been a crazy day here at the ranch
itsbeen a looong day here, starting at 4:30am when Silverclaw starting clawing my toes
that's when i send fugi (my cat) across the room in one fell swoop
I am back for just a little bit but need a clue for de6/24, please?
did similar, but I can never get back to sleep after things like that
hi marc
i would if i could marc
hi jmcnrick
i ve been noticing lately that people are saying that their animals are acting a little out of the norm.. my cats are also......hmmmmmmmmmm
Hi, all! Just got fireworks...
cats are just always weird though :P
whoo hooo tim!
they seem to be restless.nervous...doing strange things that they have not done before... am i alone in this?
Oops, forgot I was logged in under tim...this is Jellen...
brb
what's out of the norm for a cat to annoy you in the middle of the night?
marc, tame animals are this but change the sec vowel
well whooo hooo jell (my you look different today)
de6/24 is like do6/24 (tractable, eaily managed)
neutered?
hi jill!
hi jill!
very tame....
I'm back...
hi jellen!
Thanks got them both
ty jill and cj
wb tim! ;-)
hi all again!
i think they chuckie and sammie have trained me, rather than the other way around
yw and hello, coming in and out here...
Hi, jilli!
does the de7 work off the de4 before it?
I finished last night -- can clue
Yes, Marc
de + hue
no, marc -- de7 -- remove hue
sorry, marc, yes, it does extend the de4 as jellen said
Okay jilli's right...the letters are the same, but the meaning's different...
lol
Thanks got it
Plz excuse errors -- I'm watching the ladies' downhill skiing -- rather tense
Must run now...Happy babbling to all!
Lots of falls...
is the last co6 a fish?
not exactly, cj
got it...
wtg
how far down is Chemmy Alcott?
don't know, ata, sorry
the women didn't have enough practice runs because of the weather and it shows -- a nasty fall just now -- not badly hurt but limping
Anya Persson of Sweden was the one who just fell
oh no, thats a shame
so, i have just learned that due to a recent cold snap in korea, smart phone users have been creative when finding a way to use their touch-screens without having to remove their gloves... http://tinyurl.com/yavhthg
loooool
hi all
hi jes!
i found that article quite enlightening. ;)
need some help with do5, please?
like the co5 =
do5 = sorrow
hi jes
refuse to believe there are 31 Cs
Anya Persson appears to be ok -- walking around
wow. i am totally low-effort today. thinking of listing now, instead of actually looking...
sometimes these things are just necessary!
80 left at this rate will be done in 2 weeks
sounds about right
If there ever was a day to list early, it is today. Here goes
just looking at that hill is scary -- never mind skiing down it
thanks, harry
I only managed a third by myself
i've got 60 left. i usually keep plugging at it until i'm at least half way
is that redhead you, Harry?
but all i'm finding are phantoms
heh no jilli :) that's stephen root from Office Space
down to 35 and losing will to live
i lost my will to stay awake several hours ago...
clue please for the me 6/21?
but they won't let me sleep at work.
sounds familiar. I really just want to go to sleep
oops -- not up on TV shows
me6 -- dinner + "that is" abbr
it's a movie from the 90s.
thanks jil
not up on movies either :(
yw sammy
Finally found the do5 thanks
I'm pretty up on movies from before my kids were born....now we get to see perhaps one every 2 years.
el6 please?
I did get to see Avatar, though :)
e + ****stone + vowel
el + poem + vowel
el6 = answer to the riddle "what does the biologist say to his wife when he comes home from work"
Cockney biologist, of course, lol!
heh
got it thanks now only have 25 to go
why biologist??!!
hello all, nasty grid today
gogogo marc!!!
i found the word, but don't understand the joke
cause it's a simple plant, nice to look at under a microscope
Hello, dear!
yes, but more than biologists say hello dear!
ah. ok.
botanist would have been better
not as pretty as diatoms
is the ca7 related to the 5?
see harry's previous remark, ata, re the plant
finaly bought some root beer vodka, thought I was buying root bear soda to go with it and when I got home realized that it was cream soda :(
not really, but add 2 vowels
cream sodas nicer!
thanks, jilli
(to the ca5, that is)
yw jes
huh. thought that had 2 l's
I did too, ata, but this is Bad Spelling icon day
fits well then :D
not with root beer vodka, ata, will have to go to the store again
i could just put up one of my chog comments for bad speeling icon day!
cream soda tastes gorgeous with vanilla vodka, peri
another crash -- into the nets this time
but I don't have any vanilla vodka
blech blech blech that all sounds too sweet
wow, how many have made it down?
but I bet it does taste great
cream soda ugh!
just saying, in case you ever have the two together!
okay I am off to look for one last tent
bbl with any luck at all
Edith Miklos, yellow flag
lots, ata -- 20 or so -- Lindsay Vaughn (Von?) is in the lead by quite a bit
ci5 please
ci5 -- think eyelashes
eyelashes, Marc
that fallen skier is ok
great minds, jilli
I am enloying the Olympics
oh yes, peri ;)
36 left, going to watch some of the olympics and also check on laundry, bbs
sorry but eyelashes did not help
the Brit papers are calling the world's worst
ok, marc, sounds like more ridiculous
thanks got it
yw -- if you hadn't, I was going to say ci + ***r, ***r, pants on fire
brb
I have 15 left, but find this one rather boring...too many of the same letters, makes it hard to know where to send th emonkey
Maybe tomorrow- later folks!
co7 please
what are we calling the world's worst?
co7 is past tense of previous word
Hi and bye. Just got fireworks! *poof*
is that the co5/16 if so could I get a clue I am so tired after this I am goig for a nap
congrats hydra
co 5/16 the sound a baby makes + 2/3 of what you see with
Thanks got them both only have 6 left but I am going to come back to finish, thank all
uh-oh, that skier isn't ok -- she's being put on a stretcher
hey jilli - read you icon blurb - i think it is hilarious that the library has a mispelled sign
we had chocolate and strawberry mouse on the menu the other day
mmmm... bet that was both delicious and frightening! LOL
I wanted it, but couldn't bring myself to eat mouse. Husband had it though :D
did he order it as "mouse"?
yes! much to the confusion of the waitress
LOL! good for him!
I ended up having chocolate and brandy creme brulee, correctly spelled and accented
much safer, ata... one never knows. In these tough economic times, maybe they were resorting to serving mouse
I was a bit concerned by something called spinage on the menu too
I'll be back later -- have to have some lunch and replenish the birds' suet supply
Just as I was leaving I just wanted to get co6/30 and am now can't leave before I get it. A clue please?
yes... I would expect spinage to be right up there with offal on my list of foods to avoid
co6 - Morse co** + 2 vowels
Morning all

Your icon is a riot too!
almost shocking.
I'm popping in and out -- watching Olympics, doing other stuff -- gorgeous sunny warmish day
what time is it in the Netherlands?
oh lovely! Enjoy, dear friend, sounds like you are enjoying yourself. It is half past midnight here
also hoping to supply clues if anyone needs them -- finished last night
gratz and I will remember when I get stuck. Not an easy grid, is it? Am not even halfway and it is slow going.
and I just returned from looking up Murano beads, the next theme
oh cool! I never heard of those, am curious too, but I will leave it till tomorrow. Am back in a minute, must kiss my love.
happy kissing!
hehehe a fast one, Rob is already deep asleep. But I promised I'd bring him a kiss when I got home.
just going outside for a sec to check on plant growth snowdrops, crocuses and hellebores are in bloom, daffs and early tulips poking up
brb
wish I could see them!
yayyy halfway!
Afternoon all. how is everyone?
hi red, cooling down after giving a lesson, relaxing and getting ready for bed. And you?
I'm great. I spent th day taking photographs, and am now overwhelmed...took over 500.
wooot, and now sifting for the best?
I think I took too many, and I find I hate to edit them.
it was a very peaceful day...
hi, folks
that in itself makes it worth it
hi welki
hi welki...
should i have started this?
I have to say I am finding this a tough grid. Slow going almost all the way.
uh oh.
I see the em trutle word is here, I just can not remember how to spell it.
we've been spoiled with some relatively easy grids ... this one is a little toughie
I have 31 words. eeek. I still have to sift through some pics.
I have 60 now, only one 7, only 2 x 6. But having fun :)
I have one six. the bird of course, and no sevens, but I am happy to see you sprite and welki!
hah, make that 3x6
and vice versa, red!
How is everyone who must be lurking?
lol
108 players online ... people are watching :)
*does silly little dance for all the lurkers*
thinks of something inflammatory to say....
ok, found another 7. Those weird english people just past-tense everything, don't they.
Indeed we do when things occur in the past...
even if it isn't a verb at all?
for certain...
*grins*
I have no sevens so I can not comment further!
all I will say is, aussie yell
Well, then its the aussies fault it got past tensd...
(alt sp) -- hello again
welcome back, jilli, how were the flowers?
did you remember the tortoise yet?
Hi Jilli!!!
crossy has the tunes rocking and rolling:))
Hi Cross!!!!!

*joins crossy for a dance*
howdy red
hi crossy -- how did mrs crossy like the olive tree?
oh good jilli! Feels good, doesn't it, watching them grow.
hi red too
common and dance sprite,shake that pretty thang;))))
she loved it jilli,we had one once before but young cats wanted a snack;((
*shikke bibbe, shikke bibbe*
so now if you're in the doghouse you can offer a branch, eh crossy?
not in doghouse,all is calm and cool
for a change
I'd say knowing crossy it's just a matter of time... but ms. crossy is a very nice person.
she has patience beyond measure lol
hahahaha
I didn't think you'd be in the doghouse NOW, crossy, but maybe you have some leeway, lol?
crossy is spinnin up some bee gee,s arrrooooo..
*singing* i just want to be your everyyyyyything
jilli, I have 3x7, 2x C and 1x D. Could you please clue me the 4th one?

jilli is afk or she didn't see my begging...
ok it must be an M7. Does anyone have a clue for me, please please? Last word.
there's an me6 it's me4 plus an alternative to the sometimes vowel (make sense?)
my7 -- add a girl's name, same first 3 letters as previous word
it makes sense but what I need is M7. My monkey is going crazy.
first 3 letters after the my, that is
ohh! Ok, thanks jilli. Fireflies! (Not an easy word, nor an easy grid, lol)
YAY sprite!!!

I had a very nice day off, too many photos I am overwhelemd with the editing...I farmed one out to my mom...
my6 -- my + let's ****brate an Olympic victory
hi scrabs, kje
I have been watching Olympic coverage since I got home at 2:30.
thanks Jilli. Very seasonal.
and TO
TY, Jill
hello again jilli
:-)
how are you enjoying the sun jill
cool, scrab... this is the only time of year i really miss the TV
I am waiting for the recap at 8. spent the whole day outside.
we have 3 channels showing Olympics here. On this one there's been another muddle about speed skating.
Again?
You don't have a TV, kje? Well, I don't watch much either.
It has been snowing hard all day here.
NPR did an interview with the DJ for the half pipe and other snow board event, it was really interesting.
no scrab... gave it away with the move and have never replaced it
hi barb -- the sun is wonderful and the crocuses, snowdrops and hellebores are blooming happily
de6?
Hi Barb
that is awesome...i need to replace all my snowdrops they froze a year ago
hi red
de6 is like do6 if you have it
who has them on now?
Barb, hello + welcome to Babble
ty jilli
MSNBC now
what is it showing scrabbs??
Women's hockey, 3rd period, Canada 13, Sweden 1.
CTV has speedskating
Ok, not too exciting or me. And of course, no CTV in Fl.
does cnbc have anything?
wow, lots of weird ones today
yes kje I cant see any of the wierd ones.
I'm here to clue
i am a winter games junkie. since i was a kid.
Well, not a lot since it is a small grid. But the ones they do have are very strange.
ed5?
cnbc has women's curling
I prefer the summer games, but the winter ones are very speed filled and fun. I admit I think Ice dancing is an odd sport.
ed5 = swelling
not ready for clue. bbl. happy babbling all
crap!
LOL - all these weird ones and I miss one I prob write every day
hehe, kje (and see oe6)
hey what are taiking about
and the proper spellling of swelling is in there too..
ty jilli!
Yaaay I finally found a seven.
stomach growling... bbiab
yw ;)
there are the lung hairs in there too kje, ci***
hello everyone
hair parasites too
Hello Bugs
hi bugsy
Hi red, jilli et al.!
love your T, bugs!
fungus part is here too
Back--phone call
Does anyone have a clue on the me5?
I just started, wht
me5 -- dinner + "that is" abbr
thats the me 6 I think Jilli...
what letter does fungus part start with please, jilli
my I think bugs
Low battery...BRB with cord plugged in.
my7, bugs
That is the me6
sorry -- me5 -- me + you ***k an ice cream cone
Just monkeyed the my's from the hint of the fungus parts. Ty all.
yw wht
ty jilli
I may goof from time to time -- distracted by TV
Does anyone have the first co4/5 after the ci?
co4 -- you don't want a lump in your Xmas stocking so be good
The first is a flammable mineral.
I just found co4 = co**ucational
Thank you!
There is a way of writing in secret. A female student, a neatly twisted pile of rope, a soft drink, Nat King ****, and not hot.
de rien
There is one more I am not sure what it means.
I got 2 more there, wht, ty
scrabs may i beg you rindulgence and talk shop a minute, since I am supposed to be treating with OTC meds?
Yes, of course, Owl
OK. The other co4 is the fiber from a coconut husk.
coconut fibre, wht
Thanks, Jilli, I just looked it up.
dr. orig said claritan and sudafed and mucinex. pharmacist said mucinex is only for chest congestion
I thought it was a misspelled singing group
knowing enable, it might well have been :-/
I like to drink co4
the long shot is i have awful PND and she said no antibiotics - which of those will help?
OTC cold/cough meds = ineffective meds. I would never spend money on them. Also, adverse effects = increased heart rate + BP, nervous system stimulant
go figure. i think she is whack.
I would do saline spray to irrigate nose/sinuses; vaporizer or hot showers
have done those
Phew...got my bees finally
time was i would get antibiotics and it would begin to improve in three -4 days.
OTC cold/cough meds = worse than placebo as they are not harmless. In Oct 2008 they were banned for kids under 4 yrs and the American Academy of Pediatrics is pushing FDA to ban them for kids under 12.
Way to Go Monkeys, they played with matches and got fireworks.
I find when used properl that OTC meds help me when I actually have a cold. not think I have one.
COngratulations WHT!
i know, my cousin had liver muisfunction but this dr said it was from combined acetominophen.
hello all ((cousin)) is your migraine better?
A normal co4, which medically = viral sinusitis, will last 10-14 d. Antibiotics should not be used before that.
i think it is a sinuc infection at this point, which i was trying to head off
YAY wht!!!
hello stid
cold is not in the grid Scrabbs.
YAY wht, btw
ok then it is a bit more than 1 week.
Yes, Stid--it was gone by Monday night.
good. migraines = sucky days
SO before i starve to death, what can i take for PND?
how's this grid?
hi stid
I am surprised that we all had migraines on the same day!!!!
Maybe she thought it was a mild cold.
Be patient, Owl, and let your body (immune system) take care of things. Have faith in your army!
It is small but nasty. Too many vowels
I thought it was doable with help, stid -- some weirdos, of course
I wouldn't take anything, Owl. Irrigate, blow, cough, spit
no i must stop this symptom. whit i don't go to the doctor for a cold.
I am pleased to be over half way and can not decide what to eat. I gave up take out pizza for lent, and its killing me.
well, I will play for about ten minutes, then dive into this paper.
A cold is a sinus infection, but viral, thus antibiotics will not help.
the words are weirdos, jill -- or the helpers? *wicked mama grin*
Poor red
i am having potato & egg frittata
you are wicked indeed, stid
it could be a lot worse, scrabbs
TO that sounds nice.
mmm, TO!
very
oh red... *gentle hugs* did you give up spaghetti too? *stricken look*
Oh,yes, Red.
I have a great recipe for zucchini frittata
and so easy with frozen potatoes o'brien!
brb
No I could have spaghetti. Or eggs, or chicken or or or....
I had couscous with carrots, yellow + green beans, with mushroom soup
sounds delicious, scrabs
I have some quinoa...
I still need to get supper -- maybe leftover beef stew (frozen now)
quinoa, with veggie "fritters"?
em 5/14 plz
Yum, and I love beef stew.
Host of a show, e.g. Alex trebek
stixtystang: the Master of Ceremonies
Red, so you will just have to replace the take out pizza with take out Indian, Thai or Chinese.
em5 -- MC
Jilli, I had beef stew for dinner and it was delicious.
Alas, wht I live in a rather small town. the take out chienses is just too not chinese.
ty scrabbler, stidmama and jillibus
good advice, wht! LOL
TY Jilli.
I should eat salad anyway!
yw red
good evening, and greetings from New Jersey, where we just had the most DELICIOUS Chinese take out (not on my weight loss program but I had really tiny portions!)
That is too bad, red.
I'm eating half portions of regular meals
Hi JBV
hey JBV (12 million tiny portions = 1 big one...)
Yes, but I love where I live, so these are just little bumps.
in the road...
i am babbling, boggling, watching olympics and trying to review some music. it's not working.
no, no, no, stid - I've been really careful
cut out the boggling.
:)
hi scrabbler!
:)
I like to multitask too, Owl
multitasking is not good for the brain, Owl
i no longer think it's multitaksing for me. i think it's add
I do it often. right now I am sharing photos with my Mom and watching olmpics, and babbling...and thinking about me**
I can't even monotask tonight!!! I feel like I am trying to revisit last week's migraine, and I still don't have the refill on the meds. *sigh* any ideas, cousin?
we all do it, it's just not very satisfying or even effective most of the time
Well, multitasking can lead to inattention.
hmmm missing one of the e's
which ones do you have, barb? And aren't you using Lickety's list?
You have another migraine starting? I take 440 mg of naproxen at onset and that works 80% of the time, in terms of aborting the episode
yeah got it woo hoo
thanks Scrabs. *hollers for kid*
i am...but i must of typed wrong
sorry for those with migraines
ed5, el4, el6 em5x2, em3, ey4
That works for ME, Stid.
it's better than nothing, which was my other option.
Other people take a triptan
actually, the other other option is to take excedrin which... to be honest I DO want to sleep tonight!
Make that an em4
I hope you're having an abortion, stid. (No, I know, not funny)
I don't have triptans... trazodone I use for sleep, but that's a different type of antidepressant I think
What do you usually take, Stid?
Yes, it is an antidepressant that is quite sedating
what happened to that old-fashioned migraine remedy -- ergotamine?
Triptans work better and are safer
ergotamine I had when I was in high school -- the caffeine it came with kept me up ALL NIGHT!
ugh!
Do you take any preventive meds or remedies, Stid? I use generic Migrelief--vit B complex, magnesium + feverfew
well, darn. stidkid#2's trombone teacher just called and canceled. He has some sort of nasty virus, poor guy.
topamax is good for migraines
sp?
you mentioned it last week. I don't, Scrabs, but then the migraines were almost gone until last week, after I eliminated wheat.
but it is heavy duty
hello Bianca!
Yes, commonly used as prevention, but it makes some people zombies
brb
hi stid!
hi bianca
hi jilli
Some of us are zombies even without meds.
True, wht, I am a zombie every morning because I am not a morning person.
scrabs, how did you survive med school if you're not a morning person?
(I feel your pain)
ooh they play music while snoqwboarding or is nbc that hip?
back... it might be a family thing, jill -- Tom's not a morning person either.
i mean they are playing SPOON!
I was very driven then, and I didn't even drink coffee!
well, I am going to get the Y (with help) and the E on the far right (with more help) and then I will go study.
Tom doesn't drink coffee either!!! (definitely a family thing..._
Snowboarders get revved up with music--many have iPods of their own
yes, there apparently is a dj at the games, he was on npr today!
They were skating last night to Jimi Hendrix and J Giels.
me 6/21 plz
wonderful!
i know, whit! loved it!
Stid, the y is Swiss singing and the E is like a tree
at least the hendrix. the coverage has not been very good though
meliae is in the grid today!!! *looks for babble friend* her WHOLE name! *envious mama look*
got them! thanks wht!
the newscasters like to chat through everything...
okay, this is me, going to study... *sigh* down to 58. back in an hour or so. *poof*
Bye Stid
fireworks here! bye stid
bye stid
wtg jbv. Night stid
congrats! jbv!
just trying to cover too much
tomorrow will be difficult - back to work after more than a week (!) off - 2 snow days, 2 presidents' days, 2 weekend days, and 2 days this week on a special project that took me away from my office, so tomorrow will be a big catch up day
and with three networks!
Yippee JBV!
Here comes the snowplow...GRRRRRRRR....it's so loud
commentator is saying the ice is slow ice....hmmmm....
wow jbv, i was off since last wed and thought that was bad!
Hubby is home I better get dinner on hope to see you all later 45 to go for me
Night all. Happy Babbling.
night, whit.
Bye Barb & wht
the extra two days this week were fun, though, I'm on a state-level committee to review Spanish translations of the state assessments - locked in a room for two days with people just like me who enjoy laboring over nuances of word meaning, analyzing text, etc. - no kidding, it was intense but fun
JBV it sounds interesting, I am always amazed at how much difference a transloator makes in literature.
my 6/30 plz
do we have lickety?
yes red
I have had enough of this grid. See you tomorrow.
it is definitely an art and a science, red
bye scrabbler
yes lickety's list is there
good night scrabbler.
Good NIght scrabbs.
I think I shall check out Lickety. I have 43 left...they are all the odd ones I think.
need help clue my6/30 plz
my + beginning of green stalky vegetable - ****ry
My brain is fogged, still trying to recover from hydrocarbon inhalation today.
what happened Gail?
how are you feeling now, gail?
tyvm JBV
Pretty rotten, actually. Terrible stomach cramps and some headache.
We don't dare go back into the office and have a whole day full of patients to see.
hello, babblers!
hi welki
hi everyone!
hi lbd
hi jbv! hi welki, gail i love your icon!
Hi everyone
hello babble friends
hi sea, hi trif!
Hey, y'all!
and apollo's making his move!
hi jellen
Go apollo go!
go apolo!
he did!
made his move!
he is SO CUTE
Waiting for your report. Apolo winning?
and so nicely spoken
the way they get their blades SO close is just astounding!
2 more heats to go
anyone wanna cop to what they are giving up for Lent?
take out pizza Trif.
oooh, good one red!
Haven't decided yet...
good one red...does that mean you can make it at home?
I can, but I probably would not.
I am a fan of Hungry Howies...and need to be less of a fan.
we have decided here to focus on taking on new, good things, versus solely giving up things. For example, Primo is going to eat at least one serving of fresh fruit a day, I am going to exercise every day, etc.
good for you then
good idea Trif
Good idea, Trif...
I had a new experience today, my only daughter's birthday is today and we went shopping for wedding gowns, it was fun.
well, speak to me in 40 days, and see how disciplined I was!!!
clue for the ae 5 please?
ae + secret government agency
thanks Jellen
wow, that sounds like fun, sea spray! is she actually getting married, or is it just for fun?
she is getting married in October
well then I guess it was pretty fun then! do you like the prospective groom enough?
Glad you had fun, SeaSpray!
Yes we do, they have been together for 7 years
cheers all around then!
they met while in high school, both worked at KMart, so we call him the blue light special (Jokingly)
I guess it's better than "special K"
haha it is Trif, they have both worked hard at establishing careers and so now is the time
sea spray, what kind of dog is that in your icon? A west highland terrier, maybe?
yes it is trif, I have had mine for almost 14 years, my pal
hmmmm. very, very cute!
do they get on well with other dogs?
mine does, even most cats, though he tends to try to keep our cat in his place, we lost another cat 2 years ago and he actually protected her
she was almost 17, a white himalayan and he adored her
thanks - will have to check them out - I think Diggity might really like a friend. I did a quick search of the local shelters, and there are some out there, it seems.
what breed is diggity?

ty
hi all. need 8 more words to be half way and go to sleep. i am very tired.
i only have that ca 7. clues for others please?

me+ ***kety split!
tough grid
it's a slow grid, stidg
sea spray, are you still here? sorry for disappearing....we were looking at Westies online!
awww, how nice, some of them are pretty scruffy and others are quite handsome, depends on their coat, but all that I have encountered are friendly people dogs
jellen me 6 clue only has 5 letters?
Hi dawger. For me it is doubley so.
me4 + two vowels, TO
we did find one for adoption in new jersey....that is potentially doable...and, in answer to your question, Diggity is a mixed breed of some type, prob corgi and long haired chihauhau
why doubly so, stidg?
me 6 = me 4/5 + two vowels
oh, he sounds like a cutie, did you check out the westie rescue sites?
not specific westie ones - I went to petfinder.com and searched for westies, though
here is the link for the particular dog the girls lost their mind over: http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/photo View.cgi?petid=15704759
here is the link for the particular dog the girls lost their mind over: http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/photo View.cgi?petid=15704759
weird though - the westie rescue society of new england will not adopt any out to homes with kids....
Joey is a cutie!
I am throwing it out to the gods....if it is meant to be, it will happen.
thats strange
yes it will
these ladies are taking some hard spills tonight
oh, man, did you just see that? she will be picking snow out of her teeth for days!
I don't believe I will take that sport up anytime soon
and she is walking away! lucky gal!
Thank God
I do not think I like the spray painted courses....
I don't either
but I'm not sure why I don't like them lol
oh, I am SO HAPPY for Lindsay Vonn!
cluepls for co6/30? i am nodding out here
Yes, she gave it her all
I still have Joey open in another window, gosh he's cute...
TEMPLE OWL - wake up, dear one!
sea spray, I saw him first!!!
hello all, taking a ten minute break. Had a good hour's worth of paper thinking.
hello stid
yes you did and my husband says I cannot have another dog :(
well, if that was the only factor, I could adopt a hundred!
a clue would do it!
if I had the word, I would totally give you a clue, TO
I would go for Joey if I were you Trif
do I see Mother is here (ish)?
yikes! perhaps i should go get ready for bed then try again
i had an 18 hour day yesterday and can't hang
thanks sea spray. I will let you know.
yes I am.
oh TO, that is TOO LONG to work! *concerned mama look* trying to get caught up after the snow?
please do and good luck
hello Mother! was so nice to see you this afternoon -- I got a good bit done on the paper again, now researching phoenicians for the project
no. tyring to get back onto life with committee meeting
this grid has me stumped!
down to 57 and holding.
coolie and cooley are words why won't it accept cooley?
speaking of phoenicians (sort of....) did you see all the stuff about King Tut this week? Could have gone my WHOLE life without knowing the particulars of his situation and been perfectly happy
gee TO, you're busy. well... DO take care of yourself!
that was really amazingly nifty, trifioso, but I can see how it might freak people out.
Yes. Mummies are waaay overdone.
talk about your "yummy mummy!"
lol what brought all that on anywho?
the phoenicians, I am working with a classmate to create a 30-minute mini-lesson for 6th graders (potentially) as part of my master's program.
it's a LOT harder than it sounds... *sigh*
you can use my kids for tests subjects, if you would like...we are all MAJOR history geeks around here
I tried cooley also TO, dunno
that works minus one letter, sea
:-D well, if it doesn't traumatize my own two labrats, maybe I will send you the details! LOL it's a game to "hook" students into the idea of trade/diplomacy/history/geography...
Hello, stids...was away changing locations..
smeone looking for co6? (I just got back from supper)
TIM!!! ((hugs)) hey there! *puts out choclits*
whoop - here comes apollo again!
hey jill!
hi all. stid, i taught middle school social studies in a former life and that sounds like fun, really
hi -- are you tim or jellen this time?
is this a final coming up?
i think so, yes, but not sure....
I think it would make a good intro to the era and provide a few words and ideas to support further learning and discussion.
if I can "clobber" an opponent, why not CLOB?
oh, Pooh! It's jellen...
older cultures can be very interesting, if you find the right angle .. show some kind of relevance. maybe you can perform "phoenican rap"
oh! LOL like a girlfriend wearing her boyfriend's jeans... rofl.
phoenician rap.....tee hee!
I don't know about rap... but the kids might be able to come up with something by the end of the unit
hi jellen :)
brb...
hi jell, hi jill
cobe
omg, car.eeyore and I were laughing our selves STOOOPID the other day, imagining what the Olympics would be like if they still had to do them in the nude....we were describing what the men's luge would be like, and we were literally hyperventilating...I wish you all had been there.
no sea, that one doesn't work
hi doren -- I just entered a Lex word
it was completely juvenile, and COMPLETELY hilarious
*gasp* TOO funny trifioso!
please disregard my last entry
oh good jilli.. maybe if and when i finish this grid i will get there.. but i'm falling asleep with 9 left
clues available here
make sure to put together a whole visual, there stid....and then add in some sound effects - flap flap flap ought to do it....
oh! past halfway. I am listing...
nude luge? who woulda thunk?
Back as myself, I think...
oh, the visions of the nude luge!
the four man bobsled was pretty damn funny too....
Hi real jellen :)
hey jellen
even just the words together sound funny. nude luge"
"HEY! that's not the brake!"
oh trifioso! *blush*
no nude luging first thing in the morning I presume
laughing again.....
ROFL!
don't want to miss that 4-man bobsled
that might be the "giant slalom" seaspray
lol
they could hoist a mini flag of their country though
tee hee
oh, off topic, but I am going to forget - I haven't seen the movie, so I can't say, but Shutter Island was an AMAZING book - I highly recommend it.
in that cold weather it would have to be a very mini flag
glad to hear that, I am always looking for a good book, rofl jilli
am now reading The lovely bones
did anyone else see crazy heart?
not yet dorens. Waiting for it to come to the "hewlett packard" theatre

can't say, stid, unfortunately
whoop - shaun white is up!
ok, back for my last 18... must finish and get to bed cuz i need to get up around 4

Thank you Jellen I never would have got that myself
ci + if you don't tell the truth you are a big ***r
I TRIED THAT! *sigh* thanks trifioso.
I must see it then, I do like some country music
now stuck on the last CO 6/30...
hsh! now we can slap stid with a big fat ci***
you are welcome. I am a terrible cluer, so if that worked, I am delighted
i really think jeff bridges will get the academy award for this one... and the theme will get best song, etc
3

I don't have any idea what those numbers mean in the half pipe
you mean like the 1080?
oh my, a Japanese with dreadlocks!
usually the numbers refer to how many degrees they have spun - 360 = 1 turn, 1080 = 4, etc.

yes, several walls in a nice rock climbing gym in tampa

did the Stidkids see Percy Jackson movie yet?
one did. I haven't.
why?
We saw it on Monday- wanted to knowwhat they thought
we liked it but it is not like the book at all
and we liked the book better
I tried to ask te one who saw it, but he managed to not answer.
He likes the books so much, I don't think the changes would be great with him.
they took out main characters and changed quite a bit so you are probably right
Jake did not like most of the changes either
Speaking of your amazing kid, how's he doing? was the assembly today? Did he get his recognition?
Amazing ? Hah! - The assembly is tomorrow at 945
I just realized what time it is. I have to head out soon for bed... early wake-up on Thursdays.
