A man had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sits down, a man comes by and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him. "No," he says, "The seat is empty." "This is incredible," said the man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in America , and not use it." He says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we haven't been to together since we got married in 1967." "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else -- a friend, relative, or neighbor to take the seat?" The man sadly shakes his head, "No, they're all at the funeral."

12:54 am

bye anike

12:55 am

darn, jilli, was hoping anike would reply

12:55 am

oh well

12:56 am

Yes jilli - add a vowel then plural

ca 8 & 9 seem to be extensions of ca 7.. ditto what anike said

12:57 am

ty anike and dee -- now I just have to find ca7, lol!

12:57 am

I didn't go but I should - at work

start with a 4 letter girls' name then add coke a ... drop last vowel for the c 7

1:02 am

lots of repeats in this grid

yqw wtg

1:02 am

looked it up -- guess I was thinking of another word altogether

makes it tougher

what was the meaning jili

1:05 am

just googled the one with the u and I was right, there is such a word -- another name for Persian lamb fur (a distant memory nowadays!)

you are amazing jili

1:06 am

not at all!

1:06 am

the ladies left a coat here and a matching hat

1:08 am

I wonder why refreshing no longer works here for updating icons and Lickety's list -- I have to go out and in again

no clue

1:08 am

I do too jilli

1:09 am

and the "force refresh" doesn't work

1:11 am

not familiar with force refresh

1:13 am

I think it's Ctrl + F5 or something

1:14 am

I've forgotten all of those function keys, never use them anymore

1:16 am

I only use F9 when I'm using MS Publisher -- enlarges things -- very useful indeed

1:25 am

what did you do and what are you doing?

1:26 am

my hair just kept growing and got longer and straighter so I had her cut and curl it no muss no fuss

that is what I am doing ... curl and cut tomorrow; color next week.... yipppeee.... my shoulders won't hurt from holding dryer or curling iron... cannot wait

1:27 am

I have 76 words, 68 left, busy day coming up and I'm not liking this grid one bit.

ok, poofing for real now; hugs to all

1:28 am

I just pinned it back and I hated it

1:28 am

bye dee I know you'll love it

1:29 am

goodnight Dee, sweet dreams

1:29 am

I have some stuff I got at the hairdresser's called Curly Sexy Hair -- put it on a wet head and just scrunch, let it dry, and bingo, loose curl or waves

1:29 am

jilli I can't believe how much I miss lickety when he's gone

1:29 am

it was nice to have grem too

1:29 am

west, he's here!

1:30 am

wow, what is it jilli? I really need a haircut but can't find anyone I like here

1:30 am

yes, I wonder if grem is sick of us

1:30 am

that Curly Sexy Hair sounds like just the ticket

1:31 am

who makes it, do you know?

1:31 am

I go to Gail -- her new place is across the road from Harbour House. But your hair always looks great!

1:31 am

really appreciated grem during lickety's absence

1:31 am

he seems like a nice kid

1:32 am

it's getting long jilli, and unmanagable

1:32 am

but he's so fast...

1:32 am

the Shaun White of Babble

1:33 am

must try her Jilli

1:34 am

where was she before, jilli?

1:34 am

back soon

1:34 am

It says it's made by Sexy Hair Concepts, Los Angeles, CA 91311, but is "Sold Only in Professional Salons"

1:35 am

ah, so you get it from Gail?

1:35 am

flosey, she was IN Harbour House. Yes, I get it from Gail.

1:37 am

oh, I think that's Isabelle's hairdresser too?

1:37 am

Flo, there's also a fun French guy there called Sylvain if Gail is busy, and a younger operator called Kim. Phone 7-4404

1:38 am

Could be -- and Tilly's and Irene's and lots of others

1:38 am

thanks jilli, I will

1:39 am

was going to go to Sidney, or Vic. but would rather stay here

1:39 am

No harm in trying Gail and gang

1:40 am

will call tomorrow

1:40 am

brb

1:41 am

I'm going for a cut on Friday at 2

1:42 am

I hope west gets back soon so I can give her the info she asked for!

1:45 am

just wanted to catch hubby before he was sleeping - we had decided to go over tomorrow

1:46 am

I'd far rather find someone handy here

1:49 am

hello I'm back

1:50 am

I sneaked off for a piece of chocolate cake

1:50 am

oh, sounds good west

1:51 am

it was I only had half

1:52 am

we took my mother and brother out the other night for his birthday and the restaurant we went to makes such good desserts so I got a piece to take home

1:53 am

I'm not much of a dessert person

1:53 am

how great to live close to your mom and bro

1:53 am

it really is

1:53 am

I have a sweet tooth, unfortunately

1:54 am

my brother and sister are in Ontario

1:54 am

as well as 2 sons

1:54 am

that's really far for you

1:55 am

gd morning, just a few minutes to jump in

1:55 am

I do go once a year now, use to go in May and Oct. - now May only

1:55 am

hello ruby

1:55 am

1:55 am

hello flosey

1:55 am

hi ruby

1:56 am

I'm going to find 8 more words, then off to bed

1:56 am

you must love having William close by

1:56 am

I have 61 left lol

1:57 am

down to 34 left, need 4 more

1:57 am

west, you disappeared just before I posted the source for Curly Sexy Hair -- here it is again: It says it's made by Sexy Hair Concepts, Los Angeles, CA 91311, but is "Sold Only in Professional Salons"

1:57 am

oh I do west, daughter just sent new pics, he's changing so fast

1:57 am

thanks jilli sometimes I can get the sold only on Drugstore.com

1:58 am

the last picture I saw was in his Santa suit

1:58 am

Jilli they might carry it at the salon I go to

1:59 am

well I'm falling asleep...48 left...will finish tomorrow...nite friends..sweet dreams...*poofy*

1:59 am

They might indeed -- but you have a perm so do you need it?

1:59 am

ah, that was before the 4 teeth, west

1:59 am

I finally found someone I like too

1:59 am

night, MPitt

2:00 am

oh flosey he's got 4 teeth?

2:01 am

not taking the words! what's happening?

2:01 am

every day/night at this time is the pause that refreshes

2:02 am

ahah, now it started again and "remembered" what I had typed

2:02 am

jilli, I"m between perms now and get it cut every 8 weeks so it gets straighter and straighter

2:03 am

going to a wedding Mar 5th so I'll get another

2:03 am

well, if you haven't had a perm you could give it a try -- it also gives a lot of body which my fine hair needs

2:04 am

I will try it. Even when I get a perm I don't like tight curls

2:05 am

and I don't like curlers or curling irons you need 4 hands

2:05 am

I still have my hot rollers lol

2:05 am

burned myself more than once

2:06 am

old story about hot rollers: my hair is curly in the summer and one winter's day, years ago, I decided to use hot rollers. I couldn't get them out and had to cut each of them out leaving me with a VERY short haircut!

2:07 am

oh no ruby

2:07 am

they do get tangled

2:07 am

now, unfortunately, my hair is still curly but VEREY thin

2:07 am

what we go through

2:08 am

how long is your hair, west?

2:08 am

not long at all now jilli about chin length

2:09 am

and layered

2:09 am

back with current pic

2:09 am

mine is shorter than that -- I think you've seen my picture?

2:09 am

goody !!

2:09 am

oh my he's so darling and so big !!

2:10 am

Oh flosey, is he a picture!

2:10 am

ty west, he's changed so much since Christmas

2:10 am

I have jilli mine isn't that much longer

2:10 am

he's a little boy now

2:10 am

what a beautiful little boy!

2:10 am

who does he look like?

2:11 am

ty jilli

2:11 am

Mine's a bit longer than that now

2:11 am

he is so much like his dad, it's almost funny

2:11 am

right from birth, you could see Patrick's features in him

2:12 am

is his dad's picture the one you posted very handsome guy

2:12 am

I'm going to head for bed. This grid is definitely going to need morewords imho

2:12 am

yes, he is, and just the sweetest guy

2:12 am

William will break a few hearts I think

2:12 am

goodnight jilli, I'll probably be using mw to finish tomorrow

2:13 am

still have to get 3 more before I can leave

2:13 am

good night jilli happy dreams and thanks for the sexy curly hair info

2:13 am

2:17 am

ah thanks

2:17 am

ohh, where's jilli, atheticly?

2:17 am

now you need 2 ?

2:18 am

I knew what you meant and I'm not sure how to spell it either

2:18 am

was right the first time, just looked funny to me ' athletically

2:19 am

words will do that

2:19 am

too hard for me

2:19 am

speaking of athletes why can't you run a ra** again?

2:21 am

got it, what a funny word!

2:21 am

thanks for that

2:21 am

down to 30, so off to bed, goodnight all

2:22 am

gj flosey !!

2:22 am

Night Flosey. Hi Ruby

2:22 am

before you go how old is William in the new picture?

2:22 am

will probably finish while waiting for the hairdresser to open so I can phone for appt.

2:23 am

William's just past 7 months here

2:23 am

how time flies

2:24 am

his other gramma is enjoying him these days

2:24 am

does she live close by too?

2:25 am

they're staying with her (she's still in the big house where they all lived before going their own ways, while the condo is being renovated - Patrick had totally gutted it - down to concrete floor, risers only left dividing rooms

2:26 am

I remember flosey right before William was born

2:26 am

he wanted to do the word all himself but is far too busy, and wouldhave become very frustrating for them

2:27 am

he can save that for when he's retired

2:27 am

they're in north van and gramma is in west van

2:27 am

**work not word

2:27 am

I'll bet his other gramma is just eating him up

2:27 am

maybe 10 minutes or so away

2:28 am

and they'll go home to a nice new place

2:28 am

she sure is west, she's confined to wheelchair, has had some pretty scary surgeries lately

2:29 am

then William is the best medicine

2:29 am

yes, isn't it lovely - they may decide not to look for a home right now

2:29 am

Sounds like it is a hidden blessing them being there

2:30 am

indeed it is, daughter is able to help out so Pat's other sister can work at the office instead of at home

2:31 am

must get to bed now, and let you gals get back to the puzzle, when anyone asks, I just love to show the new pics

2:31 am

and we love seeing them

2:31 am

sleep well flosey and good luck with the new hairdresser

2:31 am

thanks

2:32 am

night again Flosey, thanks for sharing

2:32 am

will let you know - but with so many friends going to her, I better not complain

2:32 am

ty Lyn

2:33 am

really must poof

2:45 am

BBL

2:46 am

bye lyn

3:31 am

hi lynxx, back for a minute

3:31 am

this is a very hard grid for me and don't have much time today

3:32 am

all kinds of administrative/tax/secretarial junk to do

3:32 am

am I alone??

3:32 am

I'm still here watching the half pipe

3:33 am

lyn left awhile ago

3:33 am

I call that busy work it's relaxing in a way

3:33 am

how is it? the olympics coverage is terrible here; they focus exclusively on the French athletes. It was embarrassing watching the men's short program -- Brian Joubert is awful!

3:34 am

and when "the last hope" for the French women's giant slalom fell immediately after leaving the gate, they showed here fall around a dozen times.

3:35 am

it's fun to watch our son in law said he and his 5 brothers talked their dad into draining their swimming pool so they could skate board in it

3:35 am

too funny

3:35 am

I hate when they fall all that work gone in a second

3:35 am

I think American coverage is much less partisan

3:36 am

it's awful when they keep repeating the falls and other mistakes especially in the skating

3:36 am

not sure about that they do seem to cover a lot of the US

3:37 am

all I know is I couldn't do any of it

3:37 am

but the athletes are worth covering. Here, they have endless interviews with the losers

3:37 am

I skied until about 4 years ago, but it\s just too dangerous at my age, risking having some big person, out of control, crash into me!

3:37 am

sort of like 'we were counting on you and you let us down?'

3:38 am

no, they all make excuses, e. g. I had a headache, the dog ate my homework, my ma yelled at me. lol

3:38 am

did you start young?

3:38 am

lol

3:39 am

the slopes looked like pure ice

3:39 am

no, I started when I was 32 as an activity I could do with my son as I was divorced. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), he was better than I after one day!

3:40 am

I am not a winter person went on a sleigh ride once and nearly froze to death

3:40 am

the slopes look terrifying to me. I was never very good, always went pretty slowly and carefully and, I hope, gracefully. I didn't fall much and loved it. It was like dancing\

3:40 am

give me a nice warm fire to sit in front of and watch the snow

3:41 am

you'd love it here, two fireplaces and lots of snow!

3:41 am

and two warm dogs

3:41 am

I wish I'd talked to you when I was younger

3:41 am

I know I would

3:41 am

do you usually get that much snow?

3:42 am

I'm afraid of French people

3:42 am

I just looked at your profile. I am 66 and used to be in the glass business and for a while, imported Italian glass and was taken to THE MURANO BEAD FACTORY by a colleague. It was amazing.

3:42 am

I don't think they like us

3:42 am

I'm not French; I'm from NY

3:42 am

hiya lady

3:43 am

hi herin

3:43 am

I know you're not ruby but you live there

3:43 am

we live in a little village and the people are very nice to us

3:43 am

that's different then

3:43 am

have you been to Murano, West?

HI. I got told today that there is a new nintendo hand held game system being released soon. I think i want it

3:44 am

no, I just found that on google

3:44 am

what is it herin?

3:44 am

oh a whole new system?

3:44 am

the bead factory is like something out of the 18th century. The molten glass comes down wires from the second story cauldrons in different colors and gets chopped into "spaghetti" at the bottom!

Nintendo Dsi LL or as they outside Japan market its the DSi XL

3:45 am

ruby, I was trying to find a bead or beads I liked to post and after looking at about 30 pages I couldn't decide

3:45 am

it was a magical experience

3:45 am

herin what kind of games do you play?

3:46 am

I used to collect beads, especially African ones

3:46 am

the story I read said there were 3 and 4 generations working there

All sorts of stuff. Puzzles etc

3:46 am

hey herin, wes and ruby

3:47 am

it was very strange and interesting. Most of the beads are exported to Africa, which I found very funny

3:47 am

hello gort

3:47 am

hiya gort

Hold that thought please sorry

3:47 am

how r yr assorted grandkiddies, wes, and pooches, ruby, and degrees, herin?

3:47 am

that is strange about Africa

3:48 am

They gave me a sack full of different kinds of tiny beads, some multi-colored strings, others metallic. I have a friend here who does crafts and I gave her a lot of them. Think of all the African beading you see in films -- all done with Italian beads. LOL

3:48 am

they're good gort we are going to Abby's 4th birthday party on Sunday and then to dinner at another's first apartment

3:49 am

cool, wes

3:49 am

I am hunkered down, waiting for Spring. This is a very long winter!

3:49 am

isn't it though

3:50 am

now they don't plow our road so it's all slushy

3:50 am

skiing was a good way to get through part of the dark time, and without that activity, I stay in the house most of the time

3:50 am

can you ski near your house?

3:51 am

husband does all the grocery shopping so I just cook and take care of the dogs and play babble.

3:51 am

We used to go to Austria which is 5 hrs away, but there are places to ski 1/2 hour from here.

3:51 am

ahhhh (gort drools in jealous awe)

3:51 am

husband was too much of a snob to ski locally!

3:51 am

our oldest daughter is coming down on Friday and we'll go to lunch otherwise I have no desire to go out in this weather

3:52 am

but dort, you are not sitting with furry slippers and freezing feet!

3:52 am

how long have you lived in France?

3:52 am

I only go out when we eat lunch in restaurants.

3:52 am

so you can ski locally, but prefer further afield?! Ozzies pay squillions to travel a kazilion miles to get a glimmer of snow

3:53 am

11 years here, since my husband retired. We only got married in Dec '97, then moved here in '98

hi and nbt

3:53 am

and then it's gone by the time we get there. i'm moving to france

3:53 am

hi josh

3:53 am

we have a nice guestroom lol!

3:53 am

hi josh

3:53 am

took me 79 words before I got nbt

3:54 am

and from what you've told us a beautiful garden too

3:54 am

thanks ruby, i'll take you up on your generous offer; by the way, i like my room filled with snow

3:54 am

our snowbird friends from Sween and from Ireland, who keep houses here, came to ski between Christmas and New Year's and it rained almost the whole time! After they all left, we got tons of snow

3:54 am

silly gort

3:54 am

that's Sweden*

3:55 am

then you can sleep in the garden, gort!

3:55 am

lol, thanks ruby, sounds like a dream come true

3:55 am

if you like, west, I can send you photos of the garden. It is very nice and a little bit unusual because it has very limited colors

3:56 am

I'd love that

3:56 am

hey do you know if the ar8 is spiderish?

3:56 am

it must be a lot of work to keep it up

i just got that - just stuff a lot of vowels in there

not spider related

3:57 am

not really gort

3:57 am

it is a weird word, I got it from the chog. The beginning is spiderish but then the ending is just strange

3:57 am

ok whichdirection should i head in pls?

make a long u-turn

3:57 am

I have a handyman to help me and my husband cuts the grass. I mostly design and point, too frail to do much actual work

Hi sorry about that. I had an ''emergancy'' phone cal. Known as I have a working laptop and a paniced friend on the phone

3:58 am

that's my kind of gardening

3:58 am

gort, start with the middle left a and go across and then down

3:59 am

does your friend need to borrow your laptop herin?

3:59 am

OK, I'll try to clue it: ar + vowel + creta***** era

3:59 am

ok, thanks all for yr help, diving in now, will return triumphant or not at all

4:00 am

good fossils during that period

4:00 am

woopee! got it! thanks everyone

4:00 am

yay for gort

4:00 am

that clue may have been too late I think she's gone below

4:00 am

wow that was fast !!

West my friend was trying to look up a medical thingy about her daughter and she had a wonderful blue screen of doom

4:01 am

gort did you get that bad storm?

4:01 am

oh no herin is the daughter okay?

4:02 am

no, but just down the road from my town has been major flooding; several people drowned

i saw photos of uruguay and chile with massive flooding as well

4:02 am

how awful

4:02 am

scuse me, the call has come from yonder, gotta go

4:03 am

talk to you later gort

4:03 am

toodle pip all and thanks again for the ar

4:03 am

josh is that part of the flooding they had at Machu Pichu?

4:03 am

bye gort

4:03 am

you talking pirate gort? lol

4:04 am

toodle pip def sounds like pirate talk lol

i don't know about the flooding in machi picchu

it'd take a lot of rain to flood that

4:04 am

I meant the 'ar' lol

can't spell tonight

4:05 am

they had some really bad flooding and mudslides there

West honestly we are not sure about the kido. Her blood work got sent interstate. Not sure if I consider that serious or careful

4:05 am

west, I don't know how to put my e-mail in my profile but if we can figure out how to exchange addresses, I can send you wondrous photos! LOL

4:05 am

our daughter was there for the millenium

4:05 am

I'll give you mine

4:05 am

it's blueberry.pie@verizon.net

4:06 am

Had a young friend who was in the last lot of tourists to be flown out in helicopter from there West

4:06 am

the floods knocked out the only rail link to Machu Pichu and people had to be evacuated by helicopter

4:06 am

I heard it was pretty bad

4:06 am

maybe now they'll limit the fow of tourists

that sounds terrible

4:07 am

I've only been to South America once and that was to Quito Ecuador. Small trip but great food and drink!

4:07 am

Was certainly an adventure for them...they only missed the earthquake in Haiti by a couple of weeks too

4:07 am

I have some really good recipes from Colombia

4:08 am

if I was them, I think I'd stay home!

4:08 am

I've lost my sense of adventure!

4:08 am

using quinoa? I loved all the meals with 3 kinds of startch

West did you get my message

4:08 am

starch**

4:08 am

I know I've lost my desire to fly

4:08 am

lol, I did say they were young

4:09 am

me, too. And I have to go to London in May for a family party and I feel like canceling....I was thinking of going by train, but then that horrible thing with the Chunnel happened, so I have added that to my fears

phant chorale

4:10 am

how'd they cross before the chunnel?

4:11 am

maybe you could do that

4:11 am

ship/ferry

4:11 am

takes to long is the problem

4:11 am

the flight is only 1 hr 20 from Geneva; it seems stupid to spend a whole day each way

4:12 am

my idea of the great travel experience would be on the Orient Express ala Agatha Christie

Clue for the 9 please

4:12 am

Th tunnel problem was only because of the cold Ruby wasn't it...May will be summer so won't be a problem - ?

4:12 am

without the murders of course

4:12 am

me, too, we looked into it once but it was REALLY expensive

4:12 am

looking herin

4:13 am

true, Lynxx, I'll have to give it a hard think!

Hi Lynxx. Ruby that sound a lot like our Spirit of Tasmania boat

ca + masked rodent vermin ****on + french definite article and pl for the 9

4:13 am

girl's name or dear in Italian and boy's name ( pini's grandson)

4:13 am

are the waters rough? Everybody used to get sick on the Channel ferries!

riiiiiiight that makes no sense

4:14 am

great clue!

It depends Ruby. just damn expensive. It is expensive to fly and hire a car too. So you are screwed either way

sorry, it's not a rodent, it's actually a mammal

O that one the one that sneaks your trash

4:15 am

I knew that animal, just didn't see him lurking in the grid!

4:15 am

not in France

4:15 am

that one

4:15 am

west, do you prefer your photos one at a time or in clusters?

4:15 am

no Rocky's in France?

4:16 am

I'll try to make a slide show

4:16 am

either way is okay whatever is easier for you

4:16 am

if they're edible, the French have made them into stew!

4:16 am

that would be sweet

4:16 am

they call them "ratons laveurs", vermin who wash their hands!

4:17 am

and give it a fancy French name?

4:17 am

I'll send the photos after lunch

4:17 am

blanquette de viande mystere!

4:17 am

hahah

haha

4:18 am

thanks ruby that's so nice of you it will make me remember what spring is like

hé hé hé

4:18 am

when I lived in Miami, one of those sandwich trucks used to park across from the office and make mystery meat empanadas. Even the Spanish girls wouldn't eat them, but I did, half expecting to see little feet and tails sticking out

ewwww

4:19 am

lol

4:19 am

what was Pepe la Phew? I loved that cartoon

Le Skunk.

4:19 am

I still want to try a Cuban sandwich

4:19 am

duh! of course he was

Le Meow Le Purr

4:20 am

I like Flower from Bambi

4:20 am

he was a skunk or "putois" in French. I don't think they have skunks here. I used to have a skunk-fur coat (dyed of course) from the 30's, purchased at the Salvation Army, and when it snowed you could still smell faint skunk perfume. In elevators, I would just look around like it was somebody else

awww I loved Flower. That's not a flower silly that is a skunk

4:21 am

I had better go and make lunch for DH!

4:21 am

I'm surprised they didn't throw tomato juice on you

4:21 am

lol

4:21 am

we've given you some ideas ruby lol

4:21 am

see you later

or a feminine hygiene product anti stink

4:22 am

bye ruby and thanks again for the pictures

4:22 am

too funny

4:22 am

that's what we use and it works

4:22 am

cuban sandwiches were terrific in Miami, but you need that special sweetish bread

4:23 am

they have them here but I wonder if they'd taste the same

4:23 am

we do have quite an ethnic mix

Except if the mutt is too big *like Nuts dumb dog* and then it's just too expensive

4:24 am

yeah, that would be

I think Nut has told me puppy has been sprayed more than once. Not much brain in his skull

4:25 am

they're just so curious

4:25 am

'what kind of cat are you?' lol

4:25 am

all we have around here are squirrels

lol

4:26 am

some got under the hood of the car and chewed the wiring

then that leads to the spray. We don't have skunks here

4:31 am

you have some pretty interesting animals though

yes we do

OK I am going you have a good sleep

4:34 am

4:35 am

10:34 am

10:37 am

hi there ruby, do you always make the dog's food?

10:37 am

I love risotto

10:37 am

yes, they are so fussy (my fault) and delicate (breeder's fault)

10:37 am

have to avoid organ meat though - use to love liver

10:38 am

do you think it's bad for the dogs?

10:38 am

it was my idea, I hope I'm not hurting them

10:38 am

do you have gout, flosey?

probably not ruby, dogs do more running that I

Hi ruby, everyone!

There seem to be an awful lot of vowels.

10:39 am

I don't eat a lot and love organ meats tho not so good at cooking liver, tends to be like a shoe sole!

10:39 am

this grid has jiggled my eyeballs.. those two o's at the bottom keep staring at me, lol

10:40 am

very hard grid for me, sally

10:40 am

that's how my mother cooked it ruby, so hated it as a kid, then had it in a restaurant and discovered how good it could be

10:40 am

hard eyes, aloy!

Oh :-(

10:40 am

same here, flosey, didn't learn to eat it until I was OLD

10:41 am

I remember saying to my daughter after her school lunch 'you dont like liver?I like the schools she said it isnt all crusty like yours!!!

10:41 am

my mom used to make us eat liver (iron), so I smothered it in mustard.. love it as an adult but hardly ever eat it

10:41 am

my mom meant well, but didn't have a clue!

10:41 am

I'm down to 1 word and can't get it, any clues for cr7 please?

10:56 am

If you think you're losing it, does it make you lose it faster???

10:56 am

ty flosey, you're kind

10:56 am

rumple - add optional plural to re4/4

10:57 am

ruby, sure wish that applied to losing weight, lol

Just remember, ruby, when the senility kicks in you make new friends every day. When it gets really bad you make new friends every hour!

10:57 am

lol, flosey

10:58 am

isn't it wonderful, Sally, and you also forget all their faults - even our own, too

10:58 am

I used to tell my father, when he was old, jokes that I had told him before. He probably thought that I was losing it, but was too polite to tell me!

10:58 am

faults? moi?

10:58 am

lol, ruby, you are good!

10:59 am

I had better go and serve dinner, back in 1 1/2 hrs

10:59 am

May see you later, but have step-daughter staying tomorrow so have to go and clean house.

Flosey, sorry, I still can't monkey it.

10:59 am

11:01 am

I had a friend who used to say that if you never had company, you would never clean (me, sally, not you!)

If it's the re 6/18 I have, they are Portuguese or Spanish coins I think.

11:02 am

lol Sally, we no longer have doggy footprints, but the 'farmer' doesn't take boots off before entering

Blush, well I'm the 'farmer' here who looks after the hens. Goes off whistling, hiding boots behind door.

I have the re6/18 one, it's the 6/21 I can't get

the one before the re - flower

Sorry, rumple, not using a list at the moment so I don't know how many there are.

11:55 am

i have a sony reader...i love wit..

11:55 am

11:55 am

i charged it up and everything

11:55 am

what did you get the 600 model??

11:55 am

its all pretty with the valentines day cover

11:55 am

yaa the valentine special model!!

11:56 am

afk a few checking laundry

11:56 am

yep they still had them for the U.S.

11:56 am

but now i needs things to put on it

11:56 am

best choice,get the cover and the reading light and free book

11:57 am

mine has the 3 muskateers but in french which -- as you may know -- is not a strong language for me!

11:57 am

i wish you would get msn messanger jmc,i could have 100 books for you in 20 minutes

11:58 am

isn't that attached to FB someway?

11:58 am

i dont do fb sorry

11:58 am

wrong people find me on fb

11:58 am

i have yahoo messanger

11:59 am

you can load msn messanger in 5 minutes and we would be done

11:59 am

totally understand an aversion to fb but i am already easily found on the internet so no use to hide

11:59 am

okie doke i will load it on my office computer now

12:00 pm

(how do I do that?)

12:00 pm

but there is also gutemburg.com

12:00 pm

good,good

12:00 pm

go to google and type in msn messanger

12:00 pm

click the linbk,and follow the prompts

12:00 pm

already did. does it matter which version?

12:00 pm

www.gutenberg.com

12:01 pm

lastest is always best

12:01 pm

hi une!

12:01 pm

crossy, what about electronic books available from public libraries? do they work on them?

12:02 pm

(howdy, jmc)

12:02 pm

yes they do une,because only the sony reader line takes e=pub files,which i why i suggested it to jmc..the others do not

12:02 pm

ms msgr addys can be accesed via yahoo msgr

cross- the nook does.

12:02 pm

cool!

12:02 pm

hey, seain :-)

12:02 pm

all libraries will be doing thier books in e-pub format only

12:03 pm

sorry i stand corrected,i keep forgetting bout the nook

;)

12:03 pm

but the nooks is still too new and ive not played with it

12:03 pm

the nooks 4 second page turn rate gave me pause

12:04 pm

hello

4 seconds is a lie. It was like that in the beginning with the google books, but once the software update came, google books turn just as fast as the others.

12:04 pm

when you have you msn addy jmc you can send it to me at chipdip33@hotmail.com

And what I like about the nook is the fact that I can download directly on the device. No need to connect it to my mac. =)

12:05 pm

am just going by what i read,ive not heard of patches for it yet

But the Sony is a decent device, too.

12:05 pm

yes,the sony edition daily reader dies that also,but is another 100 dollars

12:06 pm

1:41 pm

ty merk

1:42 pm

cr7...my first word :-)

1:43 pm

Playing poker, too...

1:43 pm

jellen you could also try to find the exact flike that has been infected and if it is a non critical file,try to remove it manually,but that can take a lot of time

1:43 pm

Oooh....well done to you too, Soodle! I didn't see :)

1:43 pm

Well, that is a good one to have out of the way, Jellen. I have to go. I'm trying to do laundry and clean house for my daughter who is tying up loose ends at work because she is unexpectedly having a C-section tomorrow. Test showed the baby starting to show stress.

1:44 pm

Gosh, Merk. Well, congratulations to her, and hope it all goes well :)

1:44 pm

give your daughter my best for a problem free c-section and a nice healthy baby

1:45 pm

Healthy thoughts being sent your way, Merk!

1:45 pm

*poking her head in* Crossy---bacon flavored envelopes!!!! http://www.jdfoods.net/products/mmmvel opes.php

1:45 pm

The very best of luck to her, Merc - I have had three of them (C-Sections) and its a very acceptable way of giving birth!

1:46 pm

I've heard rock music can stress babies out. That would break my heart! If I were carrying a baby, I wouldn't risk it growing up with a bad taste in music ;)

1:46 pm

lookin judi...

1:46 pm

lol in utero our boy was listening to the theme from super mario game lol

1:47 pm

and the score from the musical phantom of the opera

1:47 pm

LOL Crossy. It was classical music for me...no wonder I rebelled.

1:48 pm

my son listened to everything from JOhn WIlliams movie themes to the eagles to rock and roll.

1:48 pm

Oh, I love POTO!

1:48 pm

and he has a very eclectic taste in music

1:49 pm

cant go wrong listening to joe walsh do his thing;)

1:50 pm

1:50 pm

actually, for a lot of the time, my parents thought I was going to be a girl - my mother played me a lot of ballet records because she wanted me to be a dancer! Funny.

1:51 pm

1:51 pm

1:56 pm

Oh Crossy :) I'm so glad you've had five years free...here's to another five!

1:56 pm

1:57 pm

wife is napping,may go chase 25 year old honeys down the sidewalk for a bit.they are kind,they let me think i might catch them before they leave me in the dust;)0

1:57 pm

LOL Eva :) it would be my third time seeing it...better each time though! I'll begin saving for air fare today ;)

1:57 pm

well nb,i had 2 others within that 5 years,but the first is my starting point

1:58 pm

i have definitely seen it once. i think i *may* have seen it twice. Cats, on the other hand, i know ive seen at least 3 times, maybe 4. wish it was still touring!!

1:58 pm

gosh...well congratulations to making it through, Crossy. You're a braver man than I :)

1:59 pm

Eva- My sons teacher just finished a lesson on TS Eliots CATS poems.

1:59 pm

bravery is nothing but holding off fear for just a moment longer

1:59 pm

well don't forget Eva, as soon as you're married - you're in charge ;)

1:59 pm

They had vocabulary, art, spelling all related to the CATS poems and the play... I had him listen to the music while he was studyiong

2:00 pm

DR -- i have that book of poems. :) NB -- you mean im not already?? ;)

2:00 pm

2:02 pm

darn woman wont be able to lift that hand soon;(

2:02 pm

LOL Eva...I've told Leo the same. The day I moved in, he forfeited his right to win anymore ;)

2:03 pm

remember it is not win or lose,it is just a series of endless concessions lol

2:04 pm

it is not to win or lose, as youve already won me and thus, you lose every argument. ;)

2:04 pm

lol

2:05 pm

hi all!

2:05 pm

lol after 17 years of wedded bliss the only think i understand about it all is that it has something to do with chocolate

2:06 pm

2:06 pm

2:07 pm

2:16 pm

2:16 pm

Hi jes

2:17 pm

someone said nipples...

2:17 pm

NB, now see what you started!

2:17 pm

I think Crossy would agree they are JUST nipples Eva ;)

2:17 pm

It was Eva who started it! That gal is all about the nipples ;)

2:18 pm

Crossy would never say JUST nipples.

2:18 pm

wha-?? twas not i. i may dance around an empty chog displaying a drastic lack of clothing, but i would never use the phrase "JUST nipples" :P

2:18 pm

I should have known it was that little imp.

2:20 pm

imp? MOI?!

2:20 pm

help w/the ac 4/7 please...can't see it there!

2:20 pm

Imp, YOU. ;)

2:20 pm

But imps are adorable and mischievous and make life worth living.

2:21 pm

despite their at time disturbing nipple preoccupation :)

2:21 pm

*looks up slightly, through hair*

2:22 pm

*flicks hair over face and does the same*

2:23 pm

alas, all of this nipple talk has almost distracted me from the fact that its time to go! and as fun as nipples may be, leaving work is even MORE fun!

2:23 pm

work is no place for nipples! have a safe trip home, Eva ;) lovely as always to see you!

2:23 pm

bye, Eva you are loved and know it.

2:23 pm

2:27 pm

In that case, bye for now

2:27 pm

Smart move NB

2:27 pm

see you, Hego :)

2:28 pm

have a good nite, hi to Leo.

2:29 pm

Thanks Hego! He says hi back :)

2:29 pm

bye, hego

2:31 pm

he loves attention from the babblers. It's like he knows he's going down well with the adoptive parents...

2:31 pm

heh. NB, as long as he makes you happy, he's fine with us :)

2:33 pm

haha, thanks Jes :) well, one set of parents think he's the devil incarnate who led their little boy astray...I'm glad this set of parents are more receptive to his many charms!

2:34 pm

*snerk* MY mother told me that I'm a bad influence on myself!

2:34 pm

She's not terribly worried about other people corrupting me, so much as the other way 'round.

2:35 pm

LOL Jes! Wild child?

2:36 pm

I had my moments.

2:36 pm

I'm sensing there might be some stories to go with this...;)

2:37 pm

well, she did tell me i'd ruined my life after i got my first tattoo.

2:37 pm

that nobody would hire me and i'd end up on welfare.

2:38 pm

hello all

2:38 pm

i told her that if my prospective boss was looking at my ankles during the interview, I didn't want to work for him anyway.

2:38 pm

I never told my parents about my tattoos! Some things, they don't -need- to know ;)

2:38 pm

i didn't tell her; she saw it when she came to visit (i was wearing a long skirt, but it shifted up when i stepped into the car)

2:38 pm

LOL Jes!! What did you get on your ankle? I bet it hurt over the bone!

2:39 pm

but she got over it... by the time she found out about the piercings, she'd given up on caring about body mods and just thinks i'm nuts for doing it.

2:39 pm

actually, there's only one small area that's over the tendon that hurt. the rest climbs up the side of my leg, and hurt a LOT less than the one on my upper thigh!

2:42 pm

what piercings do you have, Jes? My favourite (least painful) tattoo was my lion (for Leo, geddit?)...the rest I was a wimp over!

2:42 pm

*looks around cautiously* shhh.....

2:42 pm

nipples

2:43 pm

oh man, same! just one. We'd better never hug. We might get tangled up...

How are things today? Yesterday was annoying.

2:44 pm

hehe! no, mine are full rings, no ends to snag

Do you get an endorphin rush from getting piercings a

or tattoes?

2:44 pm

besides, chances are i'd be wearing a shirt of some sort... that whole "avoiding arrest" goal i have

2:44 pm

no, kaplan. they just hurt.

2:45 pm

LOL! Well YOU may we wearing a shirt ;) no promises on my side. I worked hard on my abs and now clothing seems like a shame...

I don't like pain.

2:45 pm

hah! well, it's not MY modesty that keeps me covered... I'd be quite happy to see yours :)

2:45 pm

i don't either, kaplan. i'm just crazy is all.

2:46 pm

Anyone have the ca 5/14 perchance?

This chat is getting very racy.

It wont help if I cover my ears. What should I cover.

2:46 pm

don't, bichon. sorry

2:46 pm

Well I'm guessing it's more difficult if you're a laaadyyy :)

2:46 pm

LOL Kaplan!

2:46 pm

i suppose you could cover the screen... but we can tone down if you prefer :)

2:47 pm

Jes gets tattoos beCA*** she likes them

2:47 pm

Kaplan, just think of my nipples instead of Jes', and you'll find it less racy and more just...uncomfortable.

No, it's the steamiest conversation I've had all day

2:47 pm

Hello everyone

2:47 pm

gah. people are so... eh. guy just came to get his dog, and it's running down the hall barking, so wht does the guy do? YELLS at the dog "That is not necessary!" and chases it around. Cuz THAT'S gonna calm it down.

2:47 pm

ty lynxxx

2:48 pm

OMG Jes- that is funny

2:48 pm

Oh, yay. And then he opened the front door and let the dang thing loose outside instead of putting a leash on it. Now he's running around out side yelling "GET BACK HERE!"

2:48 pm

I just hope they don't end up out in the road. *sigh*

2:48 pm

some people need obediance training

2:48 pm

LOL!!

2:48 pm

sounds like the owner needs a leash

2:49 pm

yay lynxxx! I don't think i've ever been used as a clue before :)

2:50 pm

I was a clue once. Embarrassingly, the word was 'queer' ;)

I think everyone should be required to attend Obedience school.

In order to have a license just to interact with society.

2:50 pm

heee. but you're proud of that, nb :)

2:50 pm

but being disobedient is so much more fun.

2:50 pm

well, in theory, that's kindergarten, Kaplan

2:51 pm

nothing to be ashamed of, Jes ;) I think it embarrasses some of the men in the chat sometimes though!

2:52 pm

ah... yeah, i guess it might. i guess i just tend to assume that everyone here is laid back and tolerant, unlike in the rest of the internets!

I don't get embarrassed because I am beyond gender.

I mean, my babble persona.

2:52 pm

heh. i've never met a null before...

2:52 pm

I'm very lucky that it IS so tolerant, Jes! It's lovely. Every time someone asks after Leo, like you did, I get so proud and happy.

2:53 pm

Is that represented by the grey handbag, Kaplan? ;)

Do you remember Paul Lynde?

2:53 pm

Yes

How bout the Brits?

2:54 pm

the Brits? As in citizens, or awards?

Do you remember Paul Lynde?

2:55 pm

I think NB is a bit young

2:55 pm

Had to wikipedia, Kaplan...bit before my time ;)

Look for him on youtube. one of the funniest gay entertainers ever, in the closet days.

Look for Hollywood Squares.

2:57 pm

will do, Kaplan. What type of humour, would you say? I'm a huge Eddie Izzard fan

It was kind of wink wink in mainstream media, because he had this searing wit and mannerisms, but gay was never talked about in those days

One liners on Hollywood Squares, some tonight show appearances, Uncle Albert on Bewitched, and the father in West Side Story.

Drink one for Paul!

2:59 pm

I was born on his birthday

Hear hear!

3:00 pm

sounds great, Kaplan! Will look him up later tonight...after masterchef ;)

3:00 pm

i think i'm gonna go get a mocha...back shortly

3:00 pm

unless they make me work. at work. how ridiculous!

3:01 pm

Bye Jes!

3:01 pm

Is there some connection to you Kaplan?

3:01 pm

i never work at work

3:01 pm

Hi JMC!

3:02 pm

gr6 Billy ****** , preacher

3:44 pm

ty - that's not a proper noun?

3:44 pm

I guess it isn't if it is a cracker

3:44 pm

also a type of flour

3:45 pm

the cracker is a proper noun -- company name

3:46 pm

* whispering * Ok...*sniffle*...back to work...

3:47 pm

thank stinks Pini. Mayve we will see you tonight

3:47 pm

Here it is just a gr cracker made by Nabisco

3:47 pm

gr6 is not a brand name. It was the inventor's name, but (like silhouette or leotard) has reached the status of general noun.

3:47 pm

Nabisco, Keebler, store brands, all make "gr6 crackers"

3:48 pm

Hello, all! I love gr6 crackers!

3:48 pm

and the cracker is made from that graham flour

3:48 pm

hi Vi

3:48 pm

lynxxx, get thee to the PB! lol (Hello.)

3:48 pm

ok -- now where is that trivial pursuit game?

3:49 pm

what an idiot I am! lol. Instead of the PB I might take Stew for a morning walk, BBL\

3:50 pm

Enjoy the walk, lynxxx! And if you need a snack when you return, you know what kind of crackers to have!

3:52 pm

ha 5/12? -- this is going to be really painful today

Well, it isn't exactly English!

I'm off. Goodbye, Mom. Rest those eyes!

I am off as well. Goodbye to all the those lurking :)

5:08 pm

hello all, 8 left here

5:10 pm

Hi peri. A little bird (FB) told me it's your birthday tomorrow (Friday).

5:10 pm

I was done hours ago, peri, and can clue should you want.

5:11 pm

indeed it is, Jacula, I will be 39 again :)

5:11 pm

re6/21 pls

5:11 pm

Peri - I 'believe' you!:-D

5:11 pm

marigold's birthday was yesterday

5:12 pm

re6/21 = re plus fossil fuel word (black stuff) that's also in the grid.

5:12 pm

Belated Happy Birthday to Marigold.

5:12 pm

I'll tell here

5:13 pm

*here*

5:13 pm

peri - are you doing anything special tomorrow?

5:13 pm

her, LOL. I get it.

5:13 pm

marigold is taking me to lunch and my goddaughter is taking me out to brunch this weekend.

5:14 pm

That's nice. Any idea what you fancy to eat yet?

5:14 pm

not getting the re6 even with your lovely clue, jac

5:14 pm

well, I lilke sushi and indian food and my sister likes neither :(

5:15 pm

peri - what do miners dig out of the ground? Not gold.

5:15 pm

maybe a more upscale chinese restauirant.

5:15 pm

duh, got the re6, odd word, ty

5:15 pm

Go for a Cantonese place, peri. It's the 'cordon bleu' of Chinese cooking.

5:16 pm

wiill look into that, Jac

5:17 pm

Jac, you keep beating me in Scramble

5:17 pm

Peri - LOL, I know. Sorry about that. Maybe it's because you play before bed when you're tired and I play in the morning, more alert?

5:18 pm

fireworks, thanks for your help Jac.

5:18 pm

that could be the reason, Jac. I do tend to play Scrambe in the evening

5:18 pm

y/w peri and CONGRATS. *~*~*~*~*

5:19 pm

ty, see you tomorrow, may be on early. may go shopping before lunch

5:19 pm

off to fee the cat and then play scramble, *poof*

5:19 pm

I'll be here. The UK will have ground to a halt again due to 3 inches of snow.

5:19 pm

5:19 pm

Bye peri. x

5:21 pm

*wanders off to put numerous lights out that other family members heading for bed have left on* BBS

5:24 pm

Hello, nice to see you all on the chat. Time to move with only 143 words left.

5:26 pm

Hi stidgmere. I was looking for the cat. Just found him in one of the bedrooms (where he is NOT allowed).

5:28 pm

That cat--hmm. Not here for sure. Rather quiet outside with few birds entertaining us at the moment.

5:30 pm

It's dark(ish) outside here, stidgmere, apart from the 'snow light'. It's half past 11 at night, so no birds around, not even an owl.

5:31 pm

If you need any grid clues just ask. I have finished the grid.

5:32 pm

Finished! Good your you Jacula. Snow again? We are well into spring without the insects that the buds are going to need. Everything is somewhat out of sync. Out of joint is the way Shakespeare put it I think. And not just the weather.

5:33 pm

re6/21?

5:33 pm

Well done stidgmere. I know what you mean about seasons being out of kilter with nature.

5:34 pm

kje - re6.21 = re + black fossil fuel miners dig from the ground.

5:34 pm

ty jac

5:34 pm

How can you do the black fossil again?

5:35 pm

Oh, LOL, I just realised stidgmere was congratulating me on finishing, not saying that she had.

5:35 pm

stidg - I suppose you can put more on the fire? *shrugs*

5:36 pm

kje y/w

5:36 pm

hi friends

5:36 pm

Oh, like on the railroad in the olden days. Telling the fireman to re**** the box. Hmmm.

5:36 pm

Hi DR just fooling around on the grid.

5:37 pm

oc7?

5:37 pm

howdy dr

5:37 pm

re6/21 is an acronym - REINTEGRATION OF CO4 ASH DISPOSAL SITES AND MITIGATION OF POLLUTION IN THE WEST BALKAN AREA

5:38 pm

Hello DR.

5:38 pm

kje - Latin plural of the oc6.27 above it.

5:39 pm

Hi Stidge, KJE, Jac

5:39 pm

oc6.24, I meant.

5:39 pm

i swear i typed that hundreds of times!!!!

5:39 pm

well, at least twice - ty

5:40 pm

y/w kje. Since it comes from a word for sheathing or leggings (greave(s)), and that's a family surname, it's a word I know.

Helo

5:41 pm

Hi Herin. Nice to see you.

5:41 pm

Hi Herin

Hi Jac. Hi Dr. I have the morning off so its alllllllll good

Hi KJE and Stidie

If I missed anyone sorry I am still not awake

gees sorry I killed the chat

5:47 pm

you did not kill it- I am working and babbling at the same time

5:47 pm

I'm herin

HI Bichon

5:48 pm

Hi fern lady. Just trying to get some c words and finding them not so charming.

5:48 pm

no- your bichon

5:49 pm

my bichon is helping me find words

5:49 pm

I'm flitting between here, FB and my blog and waiting to be asked for clues.

5:49 pm

ch5/14 after the 8 please

I am talking to my friend on FB we are talking about how embarissing my class mates are

5:50 pm

ch 8 what you burn to barbeque meat

5:50 pm

Your first ca word is French for 'snail' (not escargot), Stidg. The next two words have to do with dressage, turning a horse a half turn.

5:51 pm

ch8 -(another perspective, artistic this time) = what you draw with.

5:51 pm

ty Bichon- I need the ch5 after that one

5:52 pm

double the consonant at the end of the burning word, DR.

5:52 pm

gr6?

5:53 pm

ty Jac

5:53 pm

y/w DR.

5:53 pm

KJE- John travolta Olivia Newton John movie

thank you

5:53 pm

gr6/30 is whole wheat flour, named after S. Gr6.

5:54 pm

Failing that, for gr6.24, see DR's clue.

5:54 pm

hmmmmm...... must be a british flour?

5:54 pm

ty DR - that one I got.... but now you have me humming

5:54 pm

No, we call it wholemeal flour. Think of gr6 crackers, US cookies/biscuits.

5:55 pm

clue for the sa5 please?

5:55 pm

They are the US equivalent of 'digestive' biscuits in the UK. Cheesecake base. LOL

5:55 pm

oooooohhhh - duh - ty ty tyh

5:56 pm

ok, must run.... meeting colleagues for HH... and I can't drink which sucks big time... bbl

5:56 pm

plural of a word for fused bones, and holy, Comes from 'holy bone' in fact.

5:56 pm

See you later, kje.

5:57 pm

Last clue was for sa5, btw.

Wow I am watching a secret camera thing on what it is like to be 350pounds The lady in question was 120pounds and wore a fat suit. Man people suck

5:57 pm

got it jac, ty

5:58 pm

well done Seaspray and y/w.

You know that you are having a fantastic morning when you wake up half blind and a cat demanding to be feed before you can get what is out of your eye out

6:01 pm

What is it like to be 25 stone? I hope I never find out. I'm overweight enough as it is.

6:01 pm

last re6?

6:02 pm

DR - last re6 is 'got up out of bed again'.

6:02 pm

UGH- a fish!

Jac People are very very rude and uncaring. My friend, who I hadn't seen for a while said the first thing out of her mouth not hi but '' wow you put that weight back on''

6:03 pm

*sigh* Here you go, DR ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯` ·...¸><((((º>¸. ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯` ·...¸><((((º>

6:03 pm

That is rather hurtful!

6:03 pm

thanks Jac!

6:04 pm

Herin - that's the way of the world these days. One day they will learn lessons from the past.

6:04 pm

LOL, y/w DR.

Fiiiiiiishiiiiiies

Yep I was like yes I have but I have also had a massive study load which involves study home study home study house stuff rinse and repeat

6:07 pm

Did you finish herinfernallady? Can I shorten that to herin? By the way, in our chat world we are all tall, thin, blonde, rich, and very, very witty.

6:08 pm

I should make a video of me imitating a goldfish. I used to do it to amuse my son when he was a baby, plus an arms wide imitation, with sung by me soundtrack of Thunderbird I taking off. If I try to do that in public these days, not even out in the street like I used to, he hisses at me to shut up. LOLOLOL.

6:09 pm

crossy,s bacon tip #634 : if you are having problems peeling off slices of bacon due to a poor cutting job,just turn the pound upside down and peel from last slice to first and bacon joy shall be yours:)

Hi Grandmere Stid. I finish in December. Cal me Herin please

6:09 pm

One of the best things about having kids is being able to get your own back on them by embarrassing them in public, just like they did to you when they were younger.

6:10 pm

The course, ahh, finish this year. Sounds very nice. Keep up your good work for it will pay dividends down the road.

6:10 pm

stidg - I have NO wish to be blonde or very thin and nevr have had.

6:10 pm

I'm a curvy brunette and proud of it.

6:11 pm

hi all :)

6:11 pm

ca7,40, please?

6:11 pm

crossy - LOL.

6:11 pm

Hello Jess.

Hi Jess.

Stidgere. I hop to go into Law

6:12 pm

ca7/40 = ca + type of fish or hippy word for curled up end of fag packet to make a 'filter' for a reefer.

6:13 pm

Or maybe a short form of an insect which begins with 'cock'.

6:13 pm

thankee

6:14 pm

ge5 clue please?

6:14 pm

ge + hur*** for fireworks!

6:14 pm

WOw thank you for the awesome clues

6:16 pm

y/w Herin.

6:16 pm

ty too jacula

this grd is twistgy

6:17 pm

That's okay Seaspray.

why do I have to have big feet. Damn it.

6:19 pm

i know this should be really obvious, but i'm having a total block on how to turn the oc7 into an oc8

Looking for you jess

6:21 pm

Jes - take oc5 (the paint colour) and then add 2 vowels and a consonant to the end. Rhymes with no** (sense or knowledge).

6:23 pm

Example for the last 3 letters is this... if your boyfriend seems too keen on the woman in the sexy outfit at the party, you are jeal***.

thank you

6:23 pm

ty Jac

Now i need one more 7 and 8

6:23 pm

thankee, jac!

6:23 pm

Aside from being angry and wanted to either trip her up or punch her in the face, that is. LOL

6:24 pm

y//w Herin and DR.

Jac never get angry always trip over your feet and spill drink on her (preferabled a red on) :D

6:27 pm

LOL Herin.

One of my male friends g.f was really jealous of me so I planted a great big smosshy kiss on his neck. I was wearing a bright red lipstick that was really hard to get off.

6:28 pm

So long as it doesn't lead your boyfriend/hubby into the bathroom or kitchen to 'help her wash it off'.

6:28 pm

ha5,12 and ha6,21?

6:29 pm

Sorry, that's the writer in me going for the 'what if?' plus experience.:-((

6:29 pm

ha + spanish bull cheer. and plural for the 7.

Then you leave them to it. Go home toss all his crap out on teh street. Then you have accomplised 2 things. Rid your house of his crap and loss 200pounds :D

6:30 pm

LOL, Herin. You should write short stories, too.

I am just evil at times

6:31 pm

UK mags love Aussie writers, and Woman's Weekly has a UK and an Aussie form.

6:31 pm

They pay quite well, you know.

6:32 pm

Evil is the new 'good'.

6:32 pm

thanks again, jac

6:32 pm

i always miss that one.

6:32 pm

y/w jes.

How is this for embarisment . Our teacher asked as yesterday if we were first years as we are so immature. Then she booted out someone for being a smart arse

6:33 pm

Words I always miss are niece, aunt and arena. No idea why!

6:34 pm

Herin - being a menopausal 5o plus lady, I can quite understand how that happened.

We are second years. The level of immaturity is shocking

6:35 pm

Well, as someone said, this grid is not use friendly. Oh, I said it. In any case off to pursue other choices. Keep well.

6:35 pm

Hence your tutor's lack of patience the, Herin.

6:36 pm

stidg - you only had to ask if you wanted clues.

Jac not really. The teacher should not have to put up with back chat and talking when someone else is

By Stidmere

6:36 pm

See you again soon, stidg and stay well.

6:37 pm

Herin - maybe she was just waiting to see if it balanced itself out?

gosh knows but I like her. I hate people that talk when others are. It's rude

6:39 pm

If she'd looked into the eyes of each one of her class, she'd already have worked out who would act stupid,who would hold back and who would never dream of acting stupid. It's not so hard to see, you know.

I am a bit sick of the 5 atitude. So the less in the class the better

6:40 pm

Herin - sometimes, people who interrupt only do it because they were never given a chance to speak before.

No we are not talking about interrupters we are talking about people that talk to their friend next to them about random crap while someone is talking.

6:42 pm

Oh, okay. That's different then, and the only answer is a machine gun?

6:42 pm

Just tell them to SHUT UP!

Well I still say after being told a lot of times they deserve to be kicked out. No one at our age is told to be there

6:43 pm

hi, folks

HI Welki

6:44 pm

hello babble friends!

TRIFFFFFFFFFIES

6:44 pm

hello herin me love!

6:44 pm

If that doesn't work, apologise for interrupting thel lecturer first and then tell the disrupters to either shut up or get out. You might find you are backed up by others in the class.

Jac I missed a lot of education in Highschool because of dipshits that wouldn't stop bullying or talking

6:45 pm

i had to give a presentation yesterday, sized up the group pretty quickly (jac, you're right about that). had a couple of jokers in the class ... all adults. when they "acted up," i just stopped talking and looked their way -- which made everyone else look their way. hehehe, i'd picked up a couple of words from their convo and asked them to share the rest of the story :)

Teacher did that. And we are not talking about interuptions we are talking about someone talking to the whole class about the question we have been asked and someone else talking in the background about random crap they are doing on the weekend

6:46 pm

Herin - welkki has got it in a nutshell.

GO Welki.

6:46 pm

herin, it's really the speaker who should have (or gain) control of their venue, but i feel the same as you

Look if my teacher stopped talking or the person talking we would not get anything done. I am sorry but I have to agree with teh teacher kicking people out. The person in question is a right little smart mouth around her friends

6:47 pm

Herin - I know Aussie culture is reknowned for being free roaming, but this is a roam too far. Stand up and make your voice heard! This is unacceptable in a class and the tutor should have stopped it by now.

6:48 pm

it's disruptive and rude. a couple of years ago, i did have to boot a couple of gals out of a lecture. they complained, the class and co-instructors backed me up

6:48 pm

If the tutor hasn't stopped it, go to the head of the college.

I just stopped talking. I am a loud person when I want to be heard. The dean is bloody hopeless at tiems

6:48 pm

i have an idea *boing* herin, after class some day, why not approach the teacher and tell her that those rude folks are interfering with your learning ... maybe she's just oblivious to it

6:49 pm

*looks at jac* herin loud? you think that's possible?

6:49 pm

hello all, I am taking ten minutes to rest between study tasks. Stidkid #2 has a concert this evening, so not much time to play

I know that several students last year complained directly to the teacher. Did stuff all.

STIDIE you missed your mum (or is taht grandma)

6:50 pm

then i guess you slog through this semester and hope you don't have to sit in her class after this one

6:50 pm

so, how's the grid?

6:50 pm

oh well, I'll see Mother later at the concert. Thanks for letting me know, lady.

6:50 pm

welki - Herin had better be loud, after our adivce!

Tuesday is my hell day. All day with this person and not allowed duct tape

6:50 pm

the grid is a tricky little minx, stid!

6:50 pm

Or even *advice.

O concert What you seeing Stid?

6:51 pm

I recommend a water pistol, herin. when miss mouthy gets going, a quick spray should shut her up. Hey, it works with the cats, right?

6:51 pm

then approach the dean. you're there to learn, entitled to hear what the instructor says without distraction

How you Triffies

6:51 pm

the middle schools around here get together once a year for a "massed bands" concert. It's a lot of fun.

Not with my cats it don't

6:51 pm

lol ... then herin would charged with assault!

6:52 pm

yes, I agree with welki -- the students who WANT to learn deserve to have an environment that supports them.

6:52 pm

Herin - is she just a loudmoputh, or just she just not agree with your opinions?

Awesome Stid

Awesome Stid

6:52 pm

Sorry, had to ask that.

Jac she is a loud mouth. It's her nature

Hey if she didn't agree with my opnions not my issue. I am just not allowed to bring the fabric tape to class and taping her mouth shut

6:53 pm

I think it sounds like two different things. I don't know what can be done if a student is discussing material in the course - talking about weekend plans is another matter

o knows the couch is eating me. Slowly falling asleep

6:55 pm

Try not to mix personal feeling up with class discussions for the dissertation.

6:56 pm

dread - time for the olympics. Usually I can't wait for the games, and watch as much as I can....but oh, the coverage has been SO POOR this time around that watching them brings no joy at all. Not enough of the actual events, too many fillers and exposes on polar bears. yeuch

6:56 pm

The dissertation is all yours and has nothing to do with group or class politics.

I don't know can someone help me the couch is eating me

6:58 pm

*bounces on couch to make it let lady go*

Trifs last night we had ice skating on. This is what Ed the man I loath and commentator and his co host Mike said "" olloy said "they don't leave anything in the locker room these blokes", before a laughing McGuire added "they don't leave anything in the closet either".

can anyone help me with the re6/18?

7:00 pm

EXCELLENT!

Oh and then they followed it up by a Brokeback Mountain comment to boot.

re 6/18 got up again

7:01 pm

Can I just mention here that I have NO interest in olympics of any kind, and haven't watched any. I did mention that I was sad the 'young boy' on the luge died at the start, but saying hat made me 'an old woman' apparently, since he was 21.

7:01 pm

thanks LUV

thanks luv

yw stid and Pinny

7:01 pm

who said you're an old woman?! lemme at 'em! *putting up her dukes*

7:02 pm

I just can't stand how structured it is now - I miss when they used to show all the competitors, not just the russian, the american, and the chinese....sigh

Jac I have no interest due to lack of coverage and time it is on.

7:02 pm

7:05 pm

I used to watch darts and snooker when we only had black and white TV, when EX was still around. I also started watching Sumo wrestling just before he left. Got very good a scoring and commentating.

7:06 pm

snooker? is that the pool with mushrooms things in the middle of the table?

7:06 pm

Other than that, I had a surfeit of football (UK) and tennis in my teens.

sorry stid I don't have all my o's yet and am not too good at telling which tile they come from

7:07 pm

that's okey Luv.

7:07 pm

so, I have played nearly ten minutes longer than I intended.

7:07 pm

HI all. Trying to spend less time in chog and more time in the grid so as to have more time to get ready for weekend away.

7:07 pm

R in the bottom corner is RE 6 and was clued recently, try scrolling down.

I will but not sure I was on then thanks

7:08 pm

oh, stiddy, I do that ALL The time - I promise myself I will only play for 15 minutes, and 45 minutes later I remember to look at the clock!

7:08 pm

That's it thanks

7:17 pm

yw

7:17 pm

any other clues wanted?

I need to many haven't been working long at it thank you so much was getting frustrated with it

I still have 108 to go

7:18 pm

this is a very frustrating grid -- one of the worst I've seen since I started playing

Bug thank you. The couch I own is old feather cushions

co 5/2 after the slaws please?

well then I am not the only one makes me feel better at being a new person :)

7:19 pm

co 5/12: goes with biller (sound a dove makes)

7:19 pm

Just have someone toss some food and drinks to you on occasion and you could be there indefinately. I will toss over some green grapes and a nice glass of white wine for you.

thanks nan

well I can't drink the wine alergies suck...but will take the grapes gladly

7:20 pm

sipping on a lovely caol lia here

starting on the o's

7:20 pm

How about rum Barb? What kind of drink would suit you?

7:21 pm

7:21 pm

vodka is the only one left that doesn't make me ill will take with cranberry :) THANKS

great clue thanks

7:21 pm

yep

7:21 pm

Ahhh, I begin my break and find that alcohol has seeped into the chat, too!

NANNNNNNNNCY

7:22 pm

must check on supper -- brb

7:22 pm

(that is, I'm not drinking on my break...I'm a bartender...)

7:23 pm

HERIN! Managed to find you on here at last :D I suppose this is a dignified hour down under!

7:23 pm

Heard a funny story today. One of the teachers said her mother's concession to being pregnant with her was to switch from rum and Cokes to rum and orange juice because juice was better for the baby!

It is and I have a day off today

lol

7:24 pm

wish I had a day off ;) today is my late-late shift. It's half one in the morning...can't afford to get tired yet, though!

7:24 pm

back again unless everyone is all set

7:25 pm

where do you tend bar, nancy?

Nancy yuo at work or skulking at home?

have to break to make dinner see you all later

7:26 pm

bye barb

7:26 pm

Cybernan - just a club near where I live in Soho :) I -would- choose the one that stays open till 4 in the morning..d'oh.. Herin - I'm skulking, but in the back room at work...all by myself; too busy to have more than one of us on break at a time!

Ok. Poor Nancy

7:27 pm

haven't spent any time in soho yet -- other london areas yes -- usually hit a few when in the city

7:28 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

7:28 pm

Nah Herin, it's fun ;) mad busy though...as always...the bar is always buried five-deep in people clamouring to get served!

7:28 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

7:28 pm

ty min -- have you finished?

7:28 pm

Oh, awesome, Cybernan, whereabouts have you been so far? This is a great city

7:29 pm

oh man, are the Y words pirate noises? If not I give up ;)

7:29 pm

I'm not done yet cybernan. I have 23 more words left

My mother was always told not to go near Soho when she was young. It was dodgy and the property prices were really cheap. Yes she is kicking her self over not buying there

Hi Min

7:30 pm

we usually stay near Paddington for the ease of getting to and from the airport. This year we only had a few days and spent our time in the city centre, toured Marlybone and went to Greenwich.

7:30 pm

Still is dodgy Herin ;)

no comment

Darn it i have to get up and move before i completly sleep

7:31 pm

although, Soho has the advantage of being the 'acknowledged' dodgy part of London. It's a commercial kind of dodgy. Truth is, this whole city is dodgy after dark!

Sounds like my Melbourne

7:33 pm

doesn't look like anyone needs clues, so I will be on my way :)

Hi all!

7:34 pm

I love it here though...it's seedy and noisy and scummy but awesome ;)

Hi Red. Night Cyber

7:34 pm

Goodbye cybernan! I will see you tomorrow in the log

7:34 pm

hello all

7:34 pm

Hi redturtlehead!How are you?Welcome to the puzzle

Hi Pippin.

7:34 pm

Hello pippingeek!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

HI Pip

7:35 pm

Hi Pippin, Red :)

How is everyone doing?

7:36 pm

just downing another red bull, red. Oooooooooooooh energy! how are you?

7:36 pm

hi red, min, nancy, and herin!

7:36 pm

hi red, min, nancy, and herin!

I am fine. tired.

Nancy Redbull does nothing for me

and I am going to sound a bit whiney but I am so sick of this cold weather we are having.

7:37 pm

I have the feeling it works more on a placebo effect basis. Tastes like medicine though...blech!

7:38 pm

pleasantly tired from climbing here

7:39 pm

and let's hope it works, because this nancy boy has to get back to work. Good luck everyone!

I did a very big hike yesterday, ended up being about 7-8 miles and today I had to work...

7:40 pm

i fed my cat, but for some reason she won't eat it and continues to be a brat and get in my way like when she needs to be fed

ahh she wants love?

7:42 pm

hi everyone! oh, did i miss NB?

7:42 pm

she's just being needy and bratty but i'm not in a snuggle mood (and she just wants to walk on he keyboard and block the tv and chew my fingers)

hi dawg, maybe....NB are you still here??

7:42 pm

Hi lbdawger! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

7:42 pm

definitely acts for attention, pip

7:43 pm

hi Red!

7:43 pm

hi Min! i'm doing well, thanks, and yourself?

watching the slalom, I am amazed at how fast these guys go...

7:45 pm

I am doing well lbdawger. Had a busy day.Got my car serviced & then went to two dog parks with my dog.

7:45 pm

over 100 miles an hour! scary!

7:45 pm

ahh, be the pupster enjoyed the play time.

7:46 pm

*bet the pupster...* magic fingers tonight.

2 parks in one, day. a lucky dog.

Popcorn and Dr Peper is breakfast right

7:48 pm

The first dog park I went to he just sat by gate door the whole time.Then I drove a 1/2 an hour to second dog park and he ran around there. He had fun there.

7:48 pm

it works for me, herin.

7:49 pm

oh, maybe the first one had a bad vibe for him, like bullies or something?

HI LB and I belive it works for me too

Pip your cat is being a pain as she;he is bored stupid of their food.

7:49 pm

herin you're making me hungry - and i just finished dinner!

Haven't eaten today

I need to eat something. never time at work.

7:50 pm

you need to carry some dried fruit or something in your pockets, red

7:50 pm

i had lunch date food, went climbing, got dinner, and i'm ready for more already

7:51 pm

brb, need to put laundry in dryer

Pip that is why you are hungry. Climbing makes you hungry

I did eat some soup and a cookie.

7:52 pm

Yippee kiyay ..

Hi tor!

7:52 pm

that's good, red. Hi Tor!

Hi Torg

7:52 pm

Back in sunny SoCal ..

7:53 pm

where's ya been, tor?

Torg my friend did a blog on Fresno

Yes tor were you been?

7:54 pm

I was in Detroit over the holiday weekend working .. Wrecked the whole thing, from Friday night on ..

7:55 pm

you wrecked thr project?

7:55 pm

oh, the work wrecked your weekend...

7:57 pm

back in an hour...bones!

7:58 pm

Later lbd ..

7:59 pm

Fresno, eh?

Yes

Were you at?

http://31daysoffresno.blogspot.com/ this is my friend Kimmies

She even got to speak to the Mayor

8:06 pm

I live in San Diego .. Light years from Fresno ..

O right sorry dense much here. Geographically challenged or what

8:08 pm

It's ok .. California is a big place ..

I am wondering were everyone went?

8:11 pm

i just realized that i never watched last week's project runway and am catching up

I wish I had that here

8:11 pm

that's what surfthechannel.com is for

8:12 pm

i so rarely watch tv when it's actually on

Pip is not working for us as we are outside of USA

I am watching Dog the Bounty Hunter one of the crew had a go at the bosses misses. She nearly decked him

this is what my life is resorted to on my day off

this grid is not fun anymore Later gators

anyone watching the olympic coverage?

uh oh, i killed he chat ...

8:25 pm

I think it was sickly ..

8:26 pm

herin, i thought surf the channel was primarily an outside the us website, i guess i was wrong

pumps vitamins into chat...

8:26 pm

or maybe your country has more stringent pirating laws and has figured out to block access

8:27 pm

i have an olympic coverage question for the canadians in the chog

i know they are getting it on three channels, that all i know...

could anyone give me a clue for the ma6,24 please

8:28 pm

see, my father was insisting that they would be watching it via nbc's coverage, and that didn't seem right to me

8:28 pm

barb, mexican shakey-shakey instruments

8:29 pm

plus a plural

they can watch via nbc, but they also have CTV, which we dont have access to in Florida. Scrabbs can see it in NY

thank you

8:30 pm

Good evening to everyone. finished this morning but wanted to drop by and say hi.

8:31 pm

No pippin, tell your Dad you are correct. We are watching it on a Canadian network CTV as well as TSN and anotaher sports one called TNEP or something. NBC is the last one to choose because they only give biased reviews on the US athletes and show only the top ones

I am finding the grid to be a bit errr, hard.

8:32 pm

i thought it would be a ctv thing

8:32 pm

this grid is full of ridiculous words red. I am done now if anyone wants clues from a bad cluer who is watching the skating at the same time.... :)

I am at exactly half way 72/72

8:33 pm

the comment that inspired the debate was an nbc commenter talking repeatedly about "americans" rather than us citizens, and he thought canadians would be offended since "they are americans too"

8:33 pm

keep going red

8:33 pm

my dad thought, that is, not the commentator

I dont think Canadians consider them selves Americans, even if they live in North America.

8:34 pm

ROFL pippin! Canadians are MUCH more offended by being called Americans!! We have our own unique identity and are proud of it.

8:34 pm

NBC's Olympicâ„¢ coverage sucks eggs ..

Not a fan of the US snowboarding "Uniforms" too casual and baggy...

8:34 pm

that's kind of what i thought, that being part of north america isn't the same as being american

8:35 pm

for instance, Americans vote for who they want to win an election. Canadians vote thinking, Well I can't let that idiot get elected so....

8:35 pm

That's cause we have so many more idiots....

hi BJ

8:36 pm

sadly, that is too true brandy

8:36 pm

hi-YA

hi kje

8:36 pm

Heya K ..

8:36 pm

they may not be in the same league as the ones south of the border, but we still don't want them having too much power....

8:36 pm

Hello kje! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

hey Minver

8:38 pm

doing well, min... need 19 more so I can go to bed!

8:38 pm

and the only reason we have that idiot Harper in charge is because the other leaders were weaker than him!!!! (can you tell I don't approve of the HST? brandy?)

8:38 pm

HI kje

70 more for me....

8:38 pm

eek! red

8:39 pm

I wouldn't make it - I am exhaustigated

8:39 pm

if no-one needs me to be a bad cluer, I will get ready for tomorrow. Nite all!

I am also exhaustigated..

good night bugs, nice to see you

8:39 pm

gn bugs

8:40 pm

Goodbye Bugsaw! I will see you tomorrow in the chog

8:40 pm

heck with HST, don't like him sucking up to his colleagues down south. Wonder what idiot we'll elect next time. Don't think anyone will stand for that coward anymore.

nite

boy these m's are hard

8:42 pm

lots and lots of c's

I am missing one M, but more C's

clue on ma7,36 please anyone

8:44 pm

well i've mostly always voted for the less offensive candidate, but maybe i'm odd?

8:44 pm

ma7 is plural of the 6

8:45 pm

best part, i told dad what you said and he insists they used to be offended by americans coopting the term, and that the rejection of it now must be some sort of coping mechanism

8:45 pm

ma6 - almost sounds like a north african country

well that will get me thinking....OUCH my brain hurts lol

8:45 pm

he really doesn't do a very good job of not being right

8:46 pm

their cusine has wonderful tangines, if that helps

think of the mexican shaking objects barb...

8:46 pm

i love to play the shakey-shakey instruments!

8:47 pm

yep... sounds somewhat like them too, but I thought spelled differently

okay got all my m's

8:47 pm

yay

8:47 pm

hey, the whole left row greyed out!

I keep wanting to enter things like cochlear

8:48 pm

weird c's

8:49 pm

i know, and earache, and there's one other that's bothered me but now i forget

8:49 pm

red, ca7 - ca4 babbler who is a model + old king who was a merry old soul

8:51 pm

ty

9:13 pm

latin plural of 6 ru

nite min

did minver get fireworks? did I miss it? sry if I did... WOO HOO MINVER!! WTG!

you there DM?

babble is played like boggle, but we give clues to each other and the letters under the grid correspond to the grid, letting you know how many words start with each letter of the grid.

if you click on the lickety's babble clues link, you'll get a list of the first two ltrs of each word and how many points are in each word.

11:04 pm

do, did you kill the chat?

11:08 pm

YAY Evan Lysachek!!!

11:31 pm

and came back for the medal ceremony

11:31 pm

11:32 pm

11:32 pm

I don't think I missed anything

11:32 pm

and we have late night coverage too

11:33 pm

11:41 pm

our local news is on now and then the late coverage will begin it's mostly highlights

11:41 pm

I still like my phant -- carapace

11:41 pm

I thought of that one too

11:41 pm

it's so buggy

11:42 pm

I like my phant carousel

11:42 pm

me too grem

11:42 pm

we have one in our park and it's still 10c to ride

11:43 pm

I believe this is the only Olympic coverage on NBC here, starting at 9 pm PST, but there may be others on MSNBC or other channels earlier

11:44 pm

I haven't seen any of this year's Olympics.

11:44 pm

I should say FULL coverage

11:44 pm

oh what a shame grem it's just the best in a long time

11:44 pm

what a pity, grem -- why not?

11:45 pm

I do remember that I watched some of the 1998 Olympics coverage in Norway, because I got the bonus question on my chemistry test which was recent Olympic trivia.

11:45 pm

a couple of Brit sorehead reporters have said it's the worst Olympics ever

11:45 pm

sour grapes

11:45 pm

I don't care about the results nor do I find the winter games interesting.

11:46 pm

hello fellow babblers. back from our beautiful holiday in tasmania.

11:46 pm

I admire the athletes and their dedication

11:46 pm

I find things interesting which I never expected until I watched them and learned something about them

11:46 pm

oh hi rose how nice !!

11:47 pm

hi granny -- welcome back!

11:47 pm

how did your ankle hold up?

11:47 pm

thankee all. 8 days was just not long enough. so much to see and do.

11:47 pm

Maybe I'm just not a winter sports person - I watch a lot of American baseball and football during the seasons, but never hockey.

11:48 pm

Hi! Came back for flip and last minute clues if needed

brb guys

11:48 pm

I used to watch hockey until our Bruins went belly up

11:48 pm

not too bad westy. did a fair bit of walking and was glad when we booked into our motel

11:48 pm

hello min nice to see you

11:49 pm

that's good rose wouldn't have been much fun if you were stuck in your room

11:49 pm

my enjoyment of learning about unknown things is why I like the icon themes

11:49 pm

I know what you mean jilli I had to find out about the luge

11:49 pm

Oh, I like learning things too, but there is so much to learn about the universe that I have to set priorities.

11:50 pm

already planning our next trip over there. with the physio, i predict it will be a little later this year. * sigh * i know you guys and gals have the rockies etc, but i was gob-smacked by the basalt mountains over there.

11:50 pm

you can't learn everything grem so why not have some fun

11:51 pm

That's what I'm doing now - games.

11:51 pm

something I'd like to know about the snowboarders is why they wear those handkerchiefs over their faces and those ugly fat pants with low crotches which make them look like Toulouse Lautrec

11:51 pm

and the lakes!!!!!! on the mainland we don't have anything like what is in tassie.

11:51 pm

as long as you're enjoying yourself grem

11:51 pm

Any guesses for next grid size?My guess is 102 words

11:54 pm

yes, jilli, non-stop but I am quite pleased with the cut

11:55 pm

granny, overnight sounds perfect for a ride like that

11:55 pm

I'm looking forward to it we haven't seen each other since Christmas and that was a houseful so no chance to really visit

11:55 pm

I certainly hope so west

11:55 pm

I asked him about the product spoke of, he said I don't need anything

11:55 pm

good, flosey -- I shouold have warned you but he is fun, oui?

11:55 pm

it took nearly 2 1/2 hours just to get out of port phillip bay. that';s the melbourne end.

11:55 pm

rose on the map it looks a lot closer

11:56 pm

he's right, flosey -- you have beautiful body ;)

11:56 pm

understand West, same here but one daughter came a day ahead and the other stayed a couple days later

11:56 pm

jilli, after the experience of our first day on our vanautu cruise, it was a piece of cake

11:57 pm

this is a triple conversation!

11:57 pm

Jilli, I was just getting tired of the length - that's when I couldn't do anything

11:57 pm

triple, multiple,
