2:21 am

etuies

2:22 am

lol

2:22 am

do I go to pb if I speel it wrong?

2:22 am

too many Es

2:23 am

could use some more coffee anyway and maybe somebody will make pancakes.....

2:23 am

course not, lol ;)

2:23 am

or even spell it wrong -- tough morning and it's only 9ish\1

no ruby, saved by a vowel

2:23 am

have some of these scotch eggs

2:23 am

<---

2:23 am

could use a scottish breakfast!

2:24 am

oh, I didn't see the icon. What are they coated with? It ooks like a wonderful idea.

2:24 am

click on it for the recipe

2:26 am

yes, will do, once I lose my oh-so-slow momentum.

2:26 am

tune

2:26 am

sorry again...

2:26 am

want those Scotch eggs!

2:28 am

*passes ruby a steaming mug of coffe* think you need a wake up brew :)

2:28 am

husband started arguing with me the minute I got up! very upsetting, even before my coffee

2:29 am

not a good way to start the day

2:32 am

jilli, saw a great cookery programme the other week you can do little mini scotch eggs using quails eggs or add seasoning into the sausage meat to make it curried - so many variations.

2:32 am

French cookery programs are all based on cheese! yuk

2:33 am

I'm an uncook, FM!

2:33 am

I googled this recipe and did see lots of variations.

2:34 am

love cheese but it doesn't love me anymore - get really strange dreams now when I have cheese so limit the intake :(

phantom nutrient

2:34 am

hi chrissie

2:34 am

Hi Chrissie

hi jilli and everyone

2:35 am

hi chrissie

2:35 am

FM, I also saw that you can buy ready-made mini scotch eggs in supermarkets over your way

2:36 am

yes you can but the supermarket brands taste orible and the good independants are so expensive

2:36 am

forgive me for dropping my h's :)

2:36 am

What are eggs and soldiers? I heard that statement in a movie and did not know what the soldiers are.

2:37 am

well, I've never made one or tasted one -- just remembered my friend's prizewinners at the fair every year

2:37 am

I just read the eggs recipe and it sounds wonderful; unfortunately you can't get sausage meat here, just icky diots (too much garlic, no sage) or veal sausages in Switz

2:37 am

soft-boiled eggs and toast cut in strips as dipper-inners

2:37 am

oh just found a wonderful dessert wine (I think) in the grid

2:38 am

not even uncooked Italian suasage like you can get in NY, even though we're close to Italy. Perhaps they're a NY-Italian invention

2:38 am

(that's eggs and soldiers)

2:38 am

oh how interesting - I thought it would be sausage links

I bought some new egg cups yesterday and want eggs and soldiers now

2:39 am

It's bedtime for me and I'm getting hungry for all this stuff

2:39 am

or soft boiled eggs and bread and butter cut into strips

2:40 am

buttered toast soldiers are yummy

2:40 am

Good morning/evening all. How strange, you're talking about food!

2:40 am

hello Haz

2:40 am

good morning haz.

2:40 am

sounds a bit like poached eggs on toast

2:41 am

tastes rather like that too, dal

2:41 am

but not as watery

I could go for that too, but wouldn't get to use new egg cups :)

2:41 am

Hello! We have another little skiff of snow here, and it's still coming down.

2:41 am

oh another fav dalmatian - haven't had those for years.

woke to about 3 inches here haz

2:41 am

I think I will stick with a good scrambled egg - thank you

2:41 am

Greetings HAz, it is raining down hard here.

2:42 am

Suitable salutations, FM!

2:42 am

mmm scrambled egg with bacon or smoked salmon

2:42 am

there's something about the ritual of dipping in to the yolk, and then eventually scraping out the white with a spoon...

2:43 am

and of course now I am feeling so hungry!

and a sausage or two, and maybe a few mushrooms

2:43 am

and not an egg in the house.

2:44 am

I had a great frittata the other day -- green onion, cut up grape tomatoes, grated zucchini, parsley -- delish

2:45 am

morning everyone

mouth is watering here jilli

2:45 am

I'm so glad they've decided eggs are not bad for us after all

2:45 am

I like a yellow squash baked with eggs and cheese and all the fresh herbs.

2:45 am

How about egg and bacon sarnies - hate the calories and all that but occasionally they are such a treat

2:45 am

hi katie

2:46 am

I'm going to bed before I dissolve into a puddle of drool!

2:46 am

Morning Katie

2:47 am

Good morning, Katie.

2:47 am

lol jilli Im drooling too, Sleep well.

2:47 am

oh, I forgot the cheese on top of the frittata

2:47 am

does anyone else have the snow?

3 inches or more katie

2:48 am

only at the Olympic site, Katie ;)

2:48 am

nope just lots of rain.

2:48 am

Yes, we do, Katie, not a lot so far but still.

2:48 am

I'm sure it wasn't forcast for last night, blooming met office!

2:49 am

Good night everyone -- happy babbling! And btw, the goose and the volcano are here as well as the needlecase. Nice to see old friends.

2:49 am

We were expecting it, husband talked about it a couple of days ago.

2:49 am

Aparently we are due to get some bad weather tomorrow and into the week.

2:49 am

(((jilli)))

2:49 am

And don't forget seabirds in all their varieties, jillibus. Sleep well!

2:50 am

we get it two or three days after you, but usually colder

2:50 am

I've had enough of it now. I don't care what happens tomorrow I am going to my meeting and in to work *stomps muttering back to the gird*

2:50 am

Of course, yes! and *poof*

sweet dreams jilli

2:50 am

congratulations FM

2:53 am

Thanks have been pecking away at it since the flip.

2:54 am

I think the nu6 and 7 are very English!

are you insulting us ruby? lol

2:55 am

Fav words today (apart from the lovely babblets) were the sa5/12 to cook in butter that then led to the sa8 dessert wine.

2:55 am

too much BBC tele, changing my language skills! lol

2:56 am

I actually got both of them

2:57 am

and the phantom punter, never heard of that before BBC crime programs!

what are the stats for the 9 please FM?

2:57 am

si9/60

ty

2:57 am

si 9/60

2:59 am

2:59 am

hey chrissie

3:00 am

and now it is sleeting - who mentioned snow? I blame them!

3:00 am

*hangs head in shame*

3:01 am

here, it slushes, sometimes when the temp teeters of the edge

3:01 am

on*

3:01 am

LOL Katie never mind :)

3:01 am

Raises hand as well. We've got big feathery flakes now. Le sigh.

3:02 am

Taking a break for a while, TTFN an Happy Babbling.

3:02 am

3:05 am

I already did and he got even more nasty! What to do.....

3:14 am

ruby, smack him the side of his head....omly joking

3:17 am

yay, fireworks unaided

I have the song "good vibrations" going round in my head with the si9 word replacing the title - help, it's driving me nuts!!

3:17 am

no lickety, morewords, or chat

wtg gremlinn

3:18 am

any clues needed?

not just yet, but thank you anyway

hit the wall with 68 to go, taking a break, happy babbling all :)

3:27 am

yay, fireworks aided (wish I could say otherwise) but that would be a fib

3:27 am

congrats ursh

3:27 am

I'm usually aided, congrats

3:28 am

but I hesitate to come in when I didn't get back home until 2 hours after the flip (don't like spoilers)

3:29 am

luckily don't always have clues flying round the chog

3:29 am

flip for me at 8am - so should have good fresh brain - does'nt seem to help

3:29 am

I guess it is mostly during the first hour

3:30 am

I dont find the stat calling helps me so dont watch for them

3:30 am

I've always said we need about three or four separate chat logs.

3:31 am

different chat rooms, you mean?

3:31 am

I like to get to half way without clues, then will go to a list for the second half but don't use more words (I don't even know what it is) everyone likes to play in their own way

3:32 am

Yes, one would be completely silent for the go it alone types, one would be for the spoonfeeders, one would be for normal chat, one for medical discussions, another for food, it could go on....

3:32 am

ah, www.morewords.com lets you type in partial words and it will tell you words that complete it

3:32 am

PHone

3:33 am

i find the chat log fun and interesting most of the time - so many things affect us all even on opposite sides of the world - pretty much same sh** different country

3:33 am

so true ursh

3:34 am

nearly half way off back to bed now!

3:36 am

hello herin - you ok?

GOod. Watching Dr Who. The last David Tennant one. Got my Captian Jake fix

3:55 am

3:56 am

hi lady

3:56 am

hello ursh

3:56 am

but of course, now it will be in my head all day! lol

4:05 am

si _french intimate you + end of vibr***** and plural

4:05 am

si +

4:06 am

no plural, sorry

4:06 am

it's what the "sit" in "sitcom" stands for (I think)

thanks - got it

4:07 am

yes, gremlin, that's better

4:07 am

i'm learning how to clue

4:10 am

finally reached half!

4:28 am

4:39 am

4:43 am

and for us autumn will be upon us soon, it will be nice to watch the leaves fall and have some cooler weather, its winter i hate, have no idea how i would cope if i lived in real cold

4:44 am

you'd manage, as you always do. But I am glad you are in warmer weather so you don't have to too often

4:45 am

Gretings all. Great icon spritey sprite.

4:46 am

hi FM, thanks!

4:46 am

4:49 am

haven't seen much of it, Andree. Oh did you hear we are out of a government again!

4:49 am

so many big words 10 x 8 letter ones, can't remember the last time we had htat many.

4:49 am

i am at a standstill with only 90 words

4:50 am

Whats happened sprite, haven't heard anything on the news.

4:50 am

just noticed 31 7's !!!

4:50 am

you'll get your second wind any minute now

4:51 am

I have 13/31 7s. It looks so nice, lol

4:51 am

was going to break the 31 x 7s to you gently :)

4:51 am

Hello lovely ladies

4:51 am

The government has fallen. Over prolonging the dutch attribution to the nato

4:51 am

hi lyn *hug*

4:51 am

Hello lynxxx!

4:51 am

Hello, again. Isn't lynxxx nice? I've always said she has a discerning eye.

4:52 am

4:52 am

in Afganistan wasn't it?

4:52 am

lol Haz you flatterer you!

4:52 am

yes it was

4:52 am

was on our news tonight sprite, over disagreements over afganistan?

4:53 am

wow the sun has come out after the pouring rain all morning. Wonder how long it will last?

4:53 am

hi haz and lynxxx

4:53 am

they asked for it officially and they wouldn't do that if there had not been some message from the government beforehand that such a request would be honored. So all hell broke loose and now we will have re-elections in 3 months time...

4:53 am

gooood FM, you did it!

4:54 am

Hello, Andree.

4:54 am

;) Haz. Yes, lyn roxxx.

4:55 am

4:55 am

4:56 am

4:56 am

lynxxx are you watching the bobsleigh... ouch

4:57 am

lrd - is that what that thing is!

4:57 am

well, I am not very much into politics. But however much I detest Balkenende, I would take him over Wilders any day. So not looking forward to elections.

4:59 am

Haz, jsut to make us all drool, whats on the menu today?

5:00 am

Sorry, was answering the phone!

5:01 am

Springtime Sundays tend to be busy - calvings, lambings and cows who are intent on causing trouble and prolapsing....

5:01 am

we were drooling a few hours ago about breakfast stuff butnow it is geeting on for lunchtime ......

5:01 am

Anyway, lunch menu is, cream of celery soup, leg of lamb, potatoes, roast carrots and parsnips, runner beans, rhubarb pie and custard.

5:02 am

*drools*

5:02 am

oooh

5:02 am

yum yum

5:03 am

It'll keep us going until tea.

5:03 am

mmm rhubard pie! thanks for reminding me - I bought some a couple of days ago and haven't done anything with it. Maybe rhubarb cake

5:03 am

sounds good haz

5:03 am

I love a shoulder of lamb over a leg, it cooks well and the fat keeps it so tender and moist.

5:03 am

You don't do a full tea!

5:03 am

and cheaper too fmitch

5:04 am

yes that too Andree

5:05 am

I wonder if Haz would consider adopting an elderly daughter (with greyhound) - better cook than my husband

5:05 am

Something I am going to cook soon when I can find a decent butcher (and haven't cooked for years) is pigs trotters. Sooooo good when done well.

5:05 am

love roast lamb , the best part is the left over cold lamb sandwiches

5:05 am

lol lynxxx I would adopt you too

5:05 am

I'd adopt you any day, lynxxx.

5:06 am

Im stil waiting for Rumple to adopt me, what with the farm and the horses and her cooking I would die happy!

HI Sprite

5:17 am

Hi everyone....

5:17 am

hi Flask

5:17 am

hello Flask

5:17 am

hi flask

Hi Flask. I was just looking at my birth sisters baby belly pics

5:19 am

Time for me to get the jet out and fly over to Haz's for lunch or in other words I must head to the kitchen for a while.

5:19 am

have fun there, FM

5:20 am

bye FM

5:20 am

Oh spritey sprite Haz Ata nd I are meeting up this Friday!

5:20 am

oh how lovely! Wish I could attend!

5:20 am

...in their bestest frocks!

5:20 am

Oh that'll be nice!

5:20 am

:D

Lovely FM

5:21 am

I hope you all have a fab time!

5:21 am

wish i could be there too, what fun

5:21 am

Hugs and poof

5:21 am

Where are you all meeting?

5:23 am

And back from the phone again.. we're meeting up at the hotel in London where husband and I are staying.

5:24 am

are you making a weekend of it Haz?

5:24 am

The trip is courtesy of a drug company who reward vets for using their products. It's our turn to take advantage of their generosity. So, accommodation in a 5 star hotel, tickets to a West End Show, tickets for the 5 nations rugby at Twickenham (Ireland v England).

5:25 am

Wow!

5:25 am

sounds wonderful

5:25 am

what show?

5:25 am

But the real treat is meeting up with Ata and FM!

5:26 am

It's either Les Miserables, or Wicked, or Billy Elliot.

5:26 am

We were given the choice, haven't heard back yet which one we've been allocated - I'm hoping for The Glums.

O Les Miserable. :( want'to see again

5:27 am

I'm looking forward to the whole weekend, as you can imagine!

5:27 am

hope its wicked, i just saw it and its really one of the best i have ever seen suprisingly

5:27 am

Sounds perfect - what a great weekend

I was interested in Wicked not in the cast. And I am a bit disapointed at the choice of lead for Mary Poppins

5:28 am

Oh am so jealous.....sounds like a wonderful w/end......I hope you have a ball......and your meeting is everything you wish for!

I am jealous Haz

5:28 am

I don't think we've any grounds for complaint, no matter what we're sent to. The last time we were treated by this company, we had a weekend in Vienna in February. I've never been so cold but it was wonderful.

5:29 am

The thing is, there is no way we would ever put together a weekend like that for ourselves, so it's nice to be treated.

5:29 am

Go for it girl.....and enjoy!!

5:30 am

I will!

5:30 am

No babbling, mind you.

5:30 am

it sounds wonderful haz

5:31 am

Well, I know what I would rather be doing......lol

Gee Haz that is terrible. No babble but being spoilt rotten what to do. :D

5:31 am

who needs babbling during such a weekend

5:32 am

I know, I doubt whether I'd have time to miss it.

5:32 am

I bet you won't. Hoping for a report of your wonderful trip, Haz.

5:33 am

do you 'do' rugby too Haz?

5:33 am

Husband was keen that I come along, so I'm going to the rugby, yes.

Is that top s just Sa and Si words please?

5:34 am

don't know yet, sorry lady. So far yes.

Ok thank you

5:34 am

Goodnight everyone, my early start today has caught up with me

5:48 am

Good night, lynxxx, sleep well!

5:48 am

night lyn, sleep well

5:49 am

any clues please for ANY of the in7/8 words please?

5:50 am

Flask, think in terms of people held in a particular type of captivity who don't move much.

5:50 am

one is tendency of mass to not budge from current direction and plural

5:51 am

one builds on living in, person living in

5:51 am

bye lynxxx

5:51 am

one is what several ropes do when knotted

5:52 am

that's all I have so far

5:53 am

oh dear......thanx anyway!

5:53 am

Flask, for the ones about people living in, build in in5/10 - to bury.

5:54 am

ok, thanx Haz!

5:54 am

For the ones about lack of movement, build in in5/10 - not moving, unresponsive.

5:54 am

You're welcome, hope that helps.

darn It thank you everyone. I didn't plural a word that would ahve answered my question. Fish me please

5:56 am

yw lady, and here's a guppy

Yah fishes

airnet . . . headgear worn by cockney cafeteria lady

7:02 am

rabot = rabid rabbit robot (all phantoms)

7:03 am

hey, fmitch :-)

7:04 am

Hi Une, not really here but hello none the less.

7:06 am

ditto :-)

7:08 am

switched to today's icon theme of eggs!

i had eggs for breakfast!

7:10 am

morning, red :-)

Hi all.

7:12 am

red, I know you enjoy Mother Nature . . . FYI one of my mom's caregivers saw a 7-point buck in my mom's backyard this week -- standing by the birdfeeder, just a few feet from the house! :-)

Wowweeee. nice.

7:12 am

i know!! too bad Derby barked and he ran away . . .

I never see deer here. Used to in NC a lot, but not here.

7:14 am

I see more now than ever -- often see groups of deer grazing next to the interstate

7:14 am

as well as in rural areas . . .

I like to see them, but I worry about the populations getting over grown.

7:15 am

don't think that's a problem here -- LOTS of deer hunters :-(

7:15 am

but I understand that it's important to keep the population below a certain level . . .

whoa 25 P words....

7:16 am

you can do it, red -- have 20 so far without list

So far I have 60 words, but I started right after I said Hi. Sprite says it was easy, so I am hoping to make fast progress....

7:16 am

have 16 words starting with Richard Nixon's wife's name!

amazing. I have not seen oodle in a while. I would have thought he would be making some expert commentary on Canada!

7:21 am

hello everyone

morning annie!

7:21 am

morning, Annie :-)

7:22 am

Hi red and Une

ahhh the hawaiiain goose is here.

7:22 am

and the volcano

7:23 am

ooh, tx, annie -- saw the goose but not the volcano!

TY annie, I neede the volcano!

Annie, how is your friend who i in rehab doing?

7:25 am

185 down, 52 to go -- off to the kitchen for coffee -- BBL :-)

good job Une!

7:25 am

red, she is still there..the orthopedist said it is a small break but a break nonetheless..

7:26 am

wtg, Une

7:26 am

she is acclimating herself to the place..I would go insane there

How is she doing? Improvement, is she up walking?

7:28 am

NO! That is what I do not understand. She lays in bed most of the day. Gets therapy on her GOOD leg once a day. Nothing is being done for the broken knee so far. They said it has to heal before they can start therapy. Just lays there.

Well, I think withthe knee it does have to heal before she puts weight on it. that would drive me crazy as well.

7:30 am

She is afraid to be home alone so I guess the best place for her, right now, is where she is. She would need help at home.

Well, as long as her spirits are staying up...

7:32 am

her spirits are improving..she was very down at the beginning. so things are looking up.

that is some good news.

7:34 am

speaking of deer, when I was in the Keys I saw key deer. They are a much smaller version of the deer that I am used to seeing and they just walk about freely in people's back yards. It was just beautiful to see.

So pretty.

7:35 am

10:22 am

hi red!

hi red

10:23 am

hi everybody. The usual drill, dinner is cooking....

10:24 am

Back to try and get a few more words

10:24 am

hi ruby

10:24 am

hi red, hi bojazz, hello sixty, hi more than good enough

10:24 am

hi ruby red

10:24 am

10:24 am

meatloaf and potatoes for husband, beef heart risotto for dogs and yoghurt for me

10:25 am

hi jmd

10:25 am

we ate lunch out and I'm not hungry at all

i want the hubbys meal, with some asparagus.

10:25 am

and the sauce is a little bit spicy!

10:25 am

there's plenty, c'mon over!

oh how sweet

10:27 am

So that I don't sound too abstemious, there is homemade currant jelly for the yoghurt

10:28 am

abstemious?? good word - don't see that one everyday

10:29 am

blushing*

10:29 am

if it showed up in a grd, i'd never, ever, get it

10:29 am

*grid

aw bo, someone would come up with a good clue.

10:30 am

sometimes I find the big words jump out while the little ones remain elusive

10:30 am

maybe in alaphabet soup? :)

10:30 am

do they still make that?

i need some big words now.

10:30 am

no doubt about the clue - i'd just not be able to decipher it lol

10:31 am

big WORDS

10:32 am

today's BIG word is "vanities" - but i can't make it work! :)

10:32 am

today's phantom!

lol

10:32 am

along with "panties" - tried that several times too

10:32 am

I kept trying to "monkey" it earlier

10:32 am

thank you bo. i love when my thoughts are validated

10:33 am

bo, the singular of that one works!

10:33 am

I have to assume that abstemious is having to do with abstaining from large amounts of food..

10:33 am

got it

10:33 am

yes

hllo ru. Can I ask a dog question?

10:34 am

Good - Squeeze Bacon? for real??

10:34 am

and a kind of virtuous, obnoxious, self-denial!

10:34 am

yes red.. go ahead

teulu accidently dyed a small part of his nose with my hair dye....so he has a nice brown spot. how long until it goes away?

10:35 am

Bo i know nothing about it. just picked it yesterday to honor crossy

10:35 am

probably a week or so..

10:35 am

aahhh

1:19 pm

hi lexophile. I have seen you on wordsplay. I want to rotate the board too! lol

1:19 pm

I "live" to play boggle on wordsplay.com... I take it there are addicts on this site,too?

1:20 pm

Heya stid

1:20 pm

1:20 pm

tor, haven't seen you here in ages. you doing okay?

1:21 pm

alright, you regulars... tell me about this game... how many hours do you spend on a puzzle... tammy and I get 3 minutes on wordsplay!

1:22 pm

*sitting on hands* each puzzle is up for 24 hours, from midnight chicago time until the next midnight.

1:22 pm

tammy, I have put many hours into that game! it's embarrassing to admit it...

1:22 pm

I am in grad school, so most days I can only devote about 30 minutes to play. But some days a big, or difficult, grid can take me several hours to complete.

1:22 pm

Me too... but sadly mine has not paid off as well as yours have

1:22 pm

So... I often don't finish! LOL

1:22 pm

I was in Detroit for a few days .. not much time to play ..

1:23 pm

"when I first started, it was weboggle and I thought anyone who got to 100 MUST be cheating!

1:23 pm

Many of us DO use Lickety's clues for help, there is a link at the bottom of this page for that. And others use some word lists.

1:23 pm

Morning everyone

1:23 pm

in the SNOW you were in detroit? *shakes head sadly* doesn't sound like much fun, tor

1:23 pm

"I am not a great typist, so I'm glad that there aren't points taken off for mistakes

good afternoon babble friends!

1:25 pm

I saw gremlinn on recently. For those of you on here who haven't played wordsplay.. it's alot of fun!

1:25 pm

not sure what you mean lex, our scores are "public knowledge" at the end of each day.

1:25 pm

I've been watching as much as I can of the JO and can't stand the lame French athletes making excuses for not winning

1:25 pm

Not really Lex - though there is a Rankings page - see above

1:25 pm

you can check the archives, or the rankings to see how we do overall.

hi NB - it's a long one

3:02 pm

((((((echo))))))

3:02 pm

oh, perhaps not! Hi Lynx :) had given up on all intelligent life out here!

3:04 pm

They are there, it's just that it is a heads down type grid

3:05 pm

back to find more words, hello all

3:06 pm

Everyone - I must go but if Soodlebum comes back can you please let her know that the Tile Stats are correct - 237 words. Babble must have eaten one of her words - It does that occasionally!

3:07 pm

Bye all

3:23 pm

Go, Do!

i usually don'tlike to use the list unless it's close to flip time and i won't finish without it, but i must finish early because not sure if i'll be back on line later. clue for IN8?

3:25 pm

whew! -- that was an exciting race!

3:26 pm

Hi, nan

3:27 pm

in8-add to the young doctor with a double vowel

3:27 pm

there are three in 8's

3:28 pm

Hi, peri and Eva

3:28 pm

hi jellen

3:29 pm

hi, jellen

got that one, sorry... i need the first in8 after "motion"

3:29 pm

hi jellen

nm dummy me

its a plural

3:29 pm

Plural ..

3:30 pm

motion?

3:30 pm

Howdy, tor!

3:30 pm

been back and forth between here and the olympics. If there is anyone out there that is not getting the event you want on local TV, try vancouver2010.com -- there are some live broadcasts there and live updates for everything else.

3:30 pm

oh-you mean lack of?

3:30 pm

ty, will remember that nan

3:31 pm

I am watching CTV--far better and more live coverage than NBC. I am lucky to be close to Canada.

3:32 pm

yes -- CTV and TSN have the best coverage, I think.

3:32 pm

As annihilated; Ds decimated; Es exterminated; Is in5/10ed

3:32 pm

back later...

yes... potential motion

should've said related to nonmotion maybe... problem... it's in MY brain, and I must realize that people aren't mindreaders

it's frustrating for my husband sometimes... I know what I mean, but don't use enough words. and I profess to be a wordlover!

seatbelts come to mind with that word

oh please i'm reading this chat of mine... don't pay any attention to me... I forgot my meds today (the ADD one) lol

3:36 pm

to all the tea lovers out there, ever heard of St. Dalfour tea, St. Dalfour, France. My niece gave me some organic spring mint green tea. never heard of this brand

3:36 pm

No, Peri.

i have a cabinet designated for my teas. not heard of that one

3:37 pm

will let you know how it is. do not like plain green tea, too bitter. but do like jasmine green tea from trander joe's.

3:37 pm

trader even

3:37 pm

do not see any of the ta words

3:38 pm

just found the first and last ta words :)

don't know if you have Gloria Jeans (mall coffee/tea shop), but her brand is really good also (Jasmine is my hubby's fave)

3:38 pm

last va 7 please?

3:39 pm

ta words are all derivatives of the first one

3:39 pm

v and not your uncle nan

3:39 pm

ty nan will keep looking

3:40 pm

ty peri

3:40 pm

ty, too, nan

3:40 pm

nan, only just realized you live in Canada, duh

3:41 pm

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help -- had a lot of monkeys and a lot of guesses in this one

3:41 pm

yay for nan!

3:42 pm

Yay, nan!!!

3:42 pm

lol, peri

3:42 pm

Congrats Nan

3:42 pm

35 to go

3:42 pm

35 to go

3:42 pm

you have your flag all along too, nan

3:42 pm

Reason I'm sticking with my current icon for the duration! -- each bar around the outside represents a medal

3:43 pm

nice, nan

WOO HOO FOR YOO NAN! CONGRATS!! YOU DID IT!! YAY!! *band starts playing*

3:43 pm

thought I would be adding bronze for a while there, but our man fell just before the finish in the ski cross

3:44 pm

3:44 pm

So sad that DelBosco crashed--so close to the bronze medal!

Bombardier also makes ATVs (we have one)

3:46 pm

Guten Tag, Inge.

3:46 pm

I think he was pushing too hard for a silver instead of being content with a bronze, scrabbler

3:46 pm

anyone want clues before I leave (curling starts soon)

3:47 pm

That's what the commentators just suggested too.

3:47 pm

Hi, inge

3:47 pm

I don't understand curling

3:47 pm

I don't either, Peri, despite watching it.

3:48 pm

Me, either!

3:48 pm

It's a little like bocci on ice, peri -- you have the added complications of having to read ice speed and swings on top of everything else.

3:49 pm

both skill and strategy are involved in the game. It is one of the reasons both Kevin and Cheryl are such great skips -- they are always thinking 2 or 3 moves ahead.

3:50 pm

re6/21 pls

3:50 pm

The object of the game is to wind up with the most rocks closest to the centre button after everyone has thrown their rocks.

3:51 pm

re: adjust the strings on your guitar or violin again

3:52 pm

*object is for your team of 4 to wind up with the most rocks

3:52 pm

ty nan

Is there a lickety?

3:53 pm

yes

3:53 pm

does it matter where in the circle the rocks are? I know not great English ;)

3:53 pm

yes Kap

3:54 pm

the team with the rock or rocks closest to the centre at the end of each round (called an end) get's a point for each rock that is the closest. An opposing rock cuts out everything else.

3:55 pm

ty, nan, it is a little clearer now

3:55 pm

At 125/112 I have had enough of this grid. Bye all.

3:55 pm

bye Scrabs

3:55 pm

Bye, Scrabbler

3:55 pm

The strategy of the game is to position your own rocks where the opposition can't get to them and to remove or rearrange the opposition rocks to some place in the rings where they will be useful to you.

3:56 pm

bye scrabbs

3:56 pm

what is the purpose of sweeping the ice, to make a better path to the center?

3:57 pm

sweeping keeps the ice clean so your rock won't pick up any debris, also to keep a rock from curling too much or to take a rock that is too light further into the rings (called the house)

3:59 pm

When the curler releases the rock he/she puts an inside or outside turn on it, which determines whether the rock will rotate clockwise or anticlockwise and also determines which way the rock will curl on it's path down the ice.

3:59 pm

ty nan for the inform. re curling

3:59 pm

Guess you can't tell I really enjoy the game, right?

4:00 pm

:-)

4:00 pm

off to watch the game :)

4:00 pm

Technically, it melts the surface of the ice so that the rock slides better ... the faster the rock goes the less it curls ... so you're trying to adjust both the distance and the direction ..

4:00 pm

bye nan

4:01 pm

ty dose

4:01 pm

why is it called curling?

Js jettisoned

Oooh I came in at a good time. I am sooo curious how people outside of Canada and GB get interested in Curling...

4:03 pm

By spinning the rock you can make it swing by as much as six feet if you're really good i.e. Olympic or Briar (Canadian Men's Championship, calibre ... Thus ... curling

4:04 pm

red, nan and dose have explained how a curling game works

Yes, I read back!

I appreciate it.

4:04 pm

I do too, red

I just am so curious how we get curling olympians outside of Canada!

4:04 pm

ty dose

4:04 pm

Hi, red and doseffing

4:05 pm

14 left, going to watch some curling :)

hwey all.

Oops, and I see curling is on, much more interesting to me than Hockey. Wonders if she could learn curling.

GO PER-I! GO PER-I! GO GO GO *shakes pom poms* YOU GO GIRL!

hey red

Hi all.

Jellen how are you?

4:07 pm

Good, red...and you?

4:08 pm

Been a bit under the weather, though...

I'm well, really feeling good now that the temp has increased...

4:09 pm

Thought I was getting a UTI, now I have a chesty cough...

sounds yukky jellen.

a UTI or URI?

4:09 pm

Yup, I agree!

4:09 pm

What's a URI?

upper respiratory infection...

4:10 pm

No, a UTI

URI urinary tract infection

jellen said chesty cough, that's why I asked

4:11 pm

Tim says I share too much information...

but we're all babble buds! we're like family

4:11 pm

Think I'm just falling apart...

Well, Jellen, I had a patient in his 30's the other day and his girlfriend informed me that his urine smelled different, leaving me to wonder....

4:12 pm

oh MY

4:12 pm

lol, red

4:12 pm

Hi, LeslieAnn!

Now lets all chat a lot so that gets moved off the chat board...

oh boy

I think Jellen, you are way below the TMI mark!

4:12 pm

Maybe he was eating asparagus...

Hello Leslie ann!!!

*sends tools to put Jellen back together*

4:12 pm

hello, this is an interesting place to come in...

Yeah, come on, you guys. What, are you all nurses?

not to change this most interesting urinary topic, clue the na5/10?

4:13 pm

Red is...

nurse here

Nurses have the grossest lunchtime talk

Hi Kaplan, we are chatting a lot so that gets moved off the board.

we do NOT!

I come from a long line of nurses; loved medicine since I was a kid; read my aunt's med journals.. my dad forbid the medical talk at the table

Oh, yeah- I have had lunch with nurses and have to tell them to stop talking about sputum

chatting chatting chatting. I never have time for lunch, so cant say nurses have lunch time conversations...

and all sorts of other things.

When I did hospital work many moons ago.

what kind of sputum? color? consistency? odor? not all sputum talk is gross.

4:15 pm

na5= Mr. Hawthorne, pluralled

jk jk

4:15 pm

i don't even know what that is but it sounds gross already

"So what color was Mr. Willis's sputum today?"

thanks Jellen! moving along, Jellen I hope you start to feel better.

4:15 pm

I am, thanks, Red...

tx jellen. ow! that wet fish hurt!

4:16 pm

Gotta go, planning a trip to Santa Fe...

I guess I'm not helping to move the conversation of the board, but I KNEW there were nurses here!

we're having fish for supper tonight... unless it's pulverized from all the slaps

how'd ya guess? lol

Oh I am so glad for the Canadian commentary earlier, the NBC guys who are commentating on the curling just said, "Well I think if the rock touches the green line its considered in" I mean....

4:17 pm

haha

Again, it's that marvellous mealtime chatter

4:17 pm

"and if it's in the middle, that's a touchdown"

I spelled marvellous with 2 l's as homage to Salinger

CYber nan and doseffing would have been better commentators

A touchdown! in "the house"

Ns nullified

go ADHD, you are plowing through the grid.

Os overturned!

I have the O's done...

I started it this morning, I'm just filling in the last hundred using the list.

the list makes it go really fast tho

I have 52 left, and do not want to list quite yet.

I knew I'd have to leave early today, so I'm resorting to it now. Usually I won't unless we're close to the flip.

I usually list withabout 30-40 -50 left.

I can not stay up for the flip!

in the warmer weather I can't, but I don't sleep well in winter

I find it a bit harder to sleep in the hot weather...

the list makes the game get over too quick for me. I enjoy the challenge

but your cold is colder than mine.

4:29 pm

hola

what do you mean red?

buenas kje.

howdy KJE

como estas hoy KJE?

got any good clues for me kje??

4:30 pm

muy bien

4:30 pm

as always, i am clueless red

cold here is like 40 degrees ADHD you apparently liv ein the frozen north. so I dont know if I could sleep well in that winter or not.

Well, welcome to the grid anyway!

4:32 pm

thanks

4:32 pm

i have 22 left

it's in the 40s today. Pain keeps me awake

I'm in western CT (litchfield county)

Ps pulverized

luckily do not suffer from chronic pain, though I do have that pesky achilles.

I have 50 left. and sufferring greatly with all sorts of combos like avia which is not a word.

4:35 pm

well, except that pita, red

oh no, I just looked for PITA in the grid!

4:36 pm

silly

dinner bb in a minute.

I was going to be away this winter, but having major dental work done. I've got nasty RA with all it's complications

so babbling in the middle of the night is a great diversion

4:39 pm

adhd- it isn't the middle of the night anywhere in america. where are you?

clue for the last re please? re6/21 after re6/18 (re + fork)

oh, not now lol.

Hi tea

Go kje go!

4:52 pm

hi

back. Hi Tea. can I get a clue for the first sa pls? sa5/12 (and please don't slap me too hard if it's a fish word)

almost 2 feet of snow today

I'm jealous Tea

they are now showing footage of the Americans getting the gold medals back in the 80's

4:53 pm

pirotecnia!!!!!

Tea tha tis awfuL!

yay, kje

4:54 pm

sa5 - steam closet

from 60 degrees yesterday to a fdoot overnight and it has not stopped all day!

a foot

Tea, may I ask a tax question?

of course!

we) had that last month... record highs for almost a week (60), then down to the teens

tx KJE. I knew it was a fish word. welll slap me silly!

I sold y house this year, and I dont think I made a profit. How hard is it going to be to do the taxes on that mess this year?

easy peasy

if you had a loss, there is really nothing to report

if you had a gain, you report, but you get to exclude it, as long as you have not excluded a house sale gain in the recent past andyou lived in and owned the house for three of the last five years

SO I probably will be ok to just use turbo tax. the whole thing was so confusing. I got some escrow back but that was not a profit.

you should be okay

WOw tea, you know those rules! I am very impressed!

been doing taxes for almost 10 years now!

thank you!

I am afraid of an audit. But I think that I dont really make enough or raise any flags...usually.

are you busy yet? withthe tax doing that is.

a house sale is not going to trigger an audit. especially if you report it

what causes issues is that you don't report the sale when the bank does.

we have two distinct busy seasons. one is the last week of jan and the first of Feb because W2s are out and then the other is the last week of March through April 15.

I do not mind paying the taxes, I just dont want to talk about it later....

5:01 pm

yep

we are slowing down a bit, but that means that we are cutting hours, so I am the only one there in the evenings until close when I am there, so I get all of the clients - not bad!

5:01 pm

any clues needed before i go?

thats good Tea!

5:44 pm

she's to sore to be cooking

5:44 pm

just read synopsis TO, sounds good

5:45 pm

I just finished Under the Dome by Stephen King... really really liked it

i enjoyed it. am on a reading binge. how four totally disparate books

5:45 pm

i love Stephen King...The stand is all time fav

i only like the shawshank redemption

5:45 pm

Joanne, if you liked the Stand you will ike Under the Dome... very similar

5:46 pm

i shall have to get it

5:46 pm

but in Under the Dome, they're stuck (under a dome) in a small town and all that good and evil has to duke it out right there

Thank you TO I have marked it as a to read

5:46 pm

I love love love Stephen King ... not that I haven't had a disappointment or two... Thinner, for instance - blech!

at 6 pls ?

5:47 pm

wow sounds really good

5:47 pm

at + song, music

5:47 pm

je7 any hints please

5:47 pm

at and to carry a singing note

ty

I just recently finished watching Nightmares and dreamscapes. Great stories hideous filming

5:48 pm

je7 = more like a fast plane

5:48 pm

I'd love to see them make a movie of Lisey's Story

5:48 pm

thank u

5:48 pm

nrk what did you think of the movie the Stand??

5:49 pm

Joanne, I thought it was pretty good... that was really the only way to do it justice -- make it a mini-series type thing

5:49 pm

I thought it was well-cast too

5:49 pm

Gary Sinise as Stu was great.

5:50 pm

it was good but book was so much more graphic, like you just picture it all happening

I liked The Cell

5:50 pm

i read it like 4 times

5:50 pm

yes, I'm sure there was a lot they couldn't really do in the movie because it was made for TV

he is a vastly underrated actor

5:50 pm

I think I've read the stand 3 or 4 times myself

5:51 pm

I haven't read The Cell yet

It is really good. I liked it as he doesn't wafle on about crap

5:52 pm

I hate the ending of the Cell!

nrk i found a lovely confection on my shopping trip monday. white choco dipped gingerbread boys

5:52 pm

And no matter how many times I read The Stand, it scares the crap out of me every time

5:52 pm

lol , i know

5:52 pm

not a fan of white chocolate Owl... :)

5:52 pm

though gingerbread and white chocolate does sound like a good combo

5:53 pm

dixmak, I heard the ending really made people mad

this just adds a bit of sweet to the spicy

5:53 pm

makes me curious, yet very uneasy, about reading it

5:53 pm

i never got it, does he save his son or not? I personally need a concrete ending

most likely some vanilla coating

what is the stand about?

5:53 pm

don't telllll!

5:53 pm

ok, i won't finish this tonight sooo tc all and congrats to all

5:53 pm

The Stand is about a flu epidemic that wipes out 90% of the population

5:53 pm

it is a very enthralling book though, i would totally recommend it

5:54 pm

hi welk

5:54 pm

hi :)

5:54 pm

and then after that, the remaining 10% have to figure out how to survive

5:54 pm

byeee all

5:54 pm

and they break out into two groups -- Good, in Boulder Colorado, and evil in Las Vegas (of course)

5:54 pm

bye joanne!

Hi Welki.

5:54 pm

is anyone clueing? if not, i can offer a few

5:54 pm

wow the cell sounds very similar to the stand

5:54 pm

funny how the challenged one they couldn't see coming tho

5:55 pm

niteeeee

5:55 pm

Joanne, indeed!

Night Jo.

night joanne

Dix I really don't like reading King as he waffles on

5:55 pm

hey herin .. have you had any additional convos with your prof or the dean of studies about your big-mouthed classmate(s)?

Nope Welki. I am home on the couch today :(

5:56 pm

herin, my brother says the same thing about King, but I don't feel that way... to each his own :)

5:56 pm

ya but to me it's more graphic and descriptive so you really get the picture, but he does ramble on and on about pointless nonsense

i don't care for the subject matter.

5:56 pm

I think with my brother, it's because he expects action, and King builds tension for a long time, so his books get scarier and scarier

5:57 pm

subject matter is different from book to book, though, TO

5:57 pm

you mean scary?

5:57 pm

<-- would take john irving over stephen king on most days

5:57 pm

Exactly thats what I love about King; building tension!

yes. ooh watcvhing the news and research says one can be scared to death

5:58 pm

I love John Irving too

5:58 pm

different story-types, but boy can they both ramble on and on :)

5:58 pm

a few years ago, I got to see King, Irving and JK Rowling do a reading at Radio City Music Hall

I do like his writing but seriously in my mind I don't need to read ''went to the store got milk '' as I went to the car got in turned key drive 5miles on hour turned left then right and then got to the store. Opened the door went in went to teh fridge got milk went to counter bought milk

5:58 pm

best line ever from a john irving novel: sorrow floats.

I like Joe R Lansdale and Poppy Z bright

ciderhouse rules?

5:58 pm

King read from "the Body" (which became Stand by Me in the movies)... Irving read from A Prayer for Owen Meany (my favorite)

5:58 pm

may be the best line ever. ever!

5:59 pm

"keep passing open windows"

5:59 pm

wowwwwww nrkii!!

5:59 pm

Sorrow floats and keep passing open windows are the two my mom always quotes

5:59 pm

But, I did not like Irving's last book...

6:00 pm

sorrow floats is from hotel new hampshire

I liked reading the Regulators

6:00 pm

I was really disappointed

can you place those wuotes?

6:00 pm

which one, widow for one year? or the one about two hands?

6:00 pm

keep passing open windows is from owen meany, right?

6:00 pm

neither... he has a brand new one... Last Night in Twisted River

6:01 pm

keep passing open windows is also from Hotel New Hampshire

6:01 pm

ha! so it is! (just looked it up)

as soon as i fnish babble i am beginning "amkers" by cory doctorow

makers

6:02 pm

I'm reading a biog of Amelia Earhart now

6:02 pm

I am trying to alternate between fiction and non fiction lately

6:02 pm

dunno why

please, can someone tell me when ice dancing is on?

6:02 pm

just suddenly discovered a couple of years ago that I like some non fiction

6:03 pm

non fiction reminds me too much of school. historical fiction is as close as i get .. that, and james michener

i love non fiction. asked library to order "the strong horse" on friday

6:04 pm

the only way i could get through history was to correlate art and music with historic eras

in our house we have over 600 RPG books and then there is my collection of about 100 books

6:05 pm

I can only handle non-fiction that reads like a story

i also have the book "jarhead" in this batch.

6:05 pm

herin, who's into the rpgs?

Boyfriend manly A lot of them are rare as

6:07 pm

Night Nr

6:27 pm

Hi all. 22 left here, so I guess I'd better dive back in.

hello jacs!

6:28 pm

Hi TO. How are you doing?

i am fine jacs, and you? how are you>

6:29 pm

V. well thanks.

HI Jac

6:30 pm

Hi Herin. You okay?

i am doing a music review and i have found an artist i love

6:31 pm

Who's that TO?

arrr I just channel surfed looking for the news. I found this gawd awful chat show that one of the girls is saying that Rick Springfields song Jessie's girl is actually him wanting Jessie not the girl. FFS. That got the flick in under 30sec

I am crappy. How you?

parkington sisters. folk

6:32 pm

TO - don't know them. Sorry.

harmony as only siblings can do, if you know what i mean

Good Evening/morning/afternoon babblers.

6:32 pm

Herin - sorry to hear that. I'm okay, thanks.

6:32 pm

Hi red.

I will get better with the love of the couch

nice eggs Jacula.

Watching Olympic coverage. hoping they dont show hockey all night.

6:33 pm

red - yes, they were quite a sight, so I'm told.

cnbc has hockey, nbc has speed skating. coverage sucks even with three channels

msnbc has curling

No hockey here swap you?

speed skating is fine with me. Hockey was most of the day...

6:34 pm

I've just finished watching the film 'Rumor Has It' and then remembered I hadn't finished Babble.

http://www.parkingtonsisters.com/p.s/H ome.html for jacs and anyone else who likes acoustic /folk

6:35 pm

TO - will take a look in a while. Thanks.

this is the first act i have reviewed that gets an unqualified 10 out of 10

no hockey for the moment. Jus tspeed skating which I like, and I guess more curling.

we have Luge

I am sure nbc is going to try to avoid showing much luge.

Is that because the USA faild?

plus they need to show Bodie Miller in his glory.

no I think because of the accident...

6:37 pm

hey douglas are you on right now?

NBC has been showing a good coverage of events where Americans finish like 34th....so I dont think thats it.

Ok I know that here they don't show stuff if the Aussies suck

I did wonder about that but, they seem to be covering a lot of the skiing where Americans do suck, the cross country stuff. Scrabbler should have raced.

'Well the coverage we have is sporadic

Wow I jsut went to the list, things are now moving again. I feel so lazy though.

ours too. I keep wondering what I am missing. and then I realize that I am not sure I could tolerate to see ALL the ice dancers doing the compulsory dance to the same song....

back for the final 13

hi adhd

and I have to say it is nto an action packed sport.

7:27 pm

it's interesting, but i'd like to see some other events as well.

7:27 pm

watching curling is like watching paint dry

exactly.

bah my stupid net is playing up

7:27 pm

tu7 anyone?

7:27 pm

ru, i used to take the paper tubes and let my little guy bat it around, then he'd shred it to pieces.

7:28 pm

*paints the side of the pb to watch*

7:28 pm

tu7= fee for education

7:28 pm

he LOVES those

7:28 pm

what you pay for education, shirl

Earlier today though 2 canadians gave us some education on curling which was interesting.

7:28 pm

thx for the tu, should have gotten that since I paid so much of it!

7:28 pm

and if you use them as "derders" he'll really go nutso

7:28 pm

Yes, I understand it much better...

7:29 pm

jmc 'oil base paint? dries slower'

7:29 pm

derders?

7:29 pm

i'll have to go back and read the archives for the curling info

7:29 pm

7:29 pm

no, sorry smells too bad

7:29 pm

put the tube to your lips and say der der really fast.

derders?

lol

7:30 pm

7:30 pm

I know a little bit about curling -- what do you need to know?

7:30 pm

play the paper tube like a kazoo

7:30 pm

lbd you are not making any sense to me *scratches head*

7:30 pm

it's a dog thing, jmc

7:30 pm

7:30 pm

oo a tp tube kazoo!

7:30 pm

7:31 pm

7:31 pm

7:32 pm

i could go but i would never get back

7:32 pm

purr purr purr

can I admit to not really loving the Maine Coon Cat?

7:33 pm

went to the Toledo Zoo today 45 degrees.. big cats were out!

7:33 pm

MCC's are unique. they are about the only domestic cat I like.

7:33 pm

sure red

7:33 pm

haha ruru -- I use something called curly sexy hair, so there

Ok I am missing something what do you mean by derder?

7:34 pm

oooh, BIG cats! they make me sad to see them in zoos. i'm not against zoos, just sad that so many animals need zoos to exist.

7:35 pm

herin, do you know what a kazoo is?

7:35 pm

we have a part MCC - he fishes in his water all day... leaves puddles everywhere!

LB you would love the zoo we have here. IN Vic there is a free range zoo

Yes LB

7:36 pm

that's definitely a trait of an MCC

7:36 pm

well, a derder is a tp tube kazoo

7:36 pm

lb - how about biting?

My sister has one and he will occasionally out of the blue, bite people. hence not a fan, though I am sure he is special.

LB - http://tinyurl.com/yem686s Werribee Zoo

7:37 pm

MCC's like any other cat will bite. but the ones i've known weren't really biters

My kitty is not a MCC but she has a habit of chasing strangers around the house to hiss at them

7:39 pm

herin, that looks kinda like the san diego wild animal park, as well as the san diego zoo. very environmentally designed for the animals.

I never really met any regular size biters...

This zoo is amazing. I want to feed the big kitties

7:40 pm

MCC's can be very territorial, so it may bite thinking you are intruding on its territory

tr 6, 18 right after the 4,4??

7:40 pm

has anyone seen my catnip mouse? I'm sure i had it a minute or so ago.

I has the mouse :P

7:41 pm

7:42 pm

7:42 pm

tr + personal pronoun + east northeast abbrev.

7:42 pm

*hmmm MCC is asking for it while growling"

7:43 pm

*shoves the mouse behind herin*

7:43 pm

*looks behind herin*

7:43 pm

what mouse?

7:43 pm

That's the first tr 6/18...

7:44 pm

*grabs mouse and runs away*

7:44 pm

its ok - MCC has taken my mouse and left me with this stinkin pad thing on my laptop to use*

likety is listing a 6, 18 and a 7, 28 prior to that one.

Ahhh got it!

7:57 pm

ich!

7:57 pm

watching US Canada hockey. (GO CANADA!)

7:57 pm

Hi, stid!

Distance?

7:58 pm

the blue lines I think help add contrast so the skiers can see where they are?

you can type with your nose? wow! talented! what else can you do?

7:58 pm

Think you're correct, stid...

that's what I thought, but hubs and I were discussing it and wondering why this year?

that was my thought too

i love watching the speed skaters... they're so fluid

Mystery of the blue line here : http://tinyurl.com/yj3m3z3

sry typos and not using commas

USA USA USA USA

8:02 pm

hey Lady B

can you watch the game online?

3rd te 7/28 please?

8:03 pm

i was leaning towards the weekend of the 21st

8:03 pm

well defense also necessary so not all the goalie's fault

8:03 pm

well all I can say is, if the goalie keeps doing what he is doing, then USA deserves to win this one.

blue lines on the ski slope. don't remember them in other yrs. think they're as guides

8:03 pm

my nevvie is a goalie is what he says

8:03 pm

21st would likely be best for me, jmc.

8:03 pm

sea eagle + crying herb ending

8:03 pm

Shall I pencil you in?

8:03 pm

the outside ones are guides

8:03 pm

*wondering how I can hold the pencil in my nose to write...*

te7/28 sea bird + charged particle

8:05 pm

yes, the weather has be divine! love seeing the sun and blue skies

8:05 pm

hm. stidkid #2 agrees with you ladies on the imagery...

8:05 pm

true ADHD but they are always looking for ways to make these things safer

8:05 pm

i agree JMC.

8:05 pm

8:11 pm

Drat! Missed! She 'poofed' just before it hit.

8:11 pm

You are aware that tin foil does nothing other than enhance the signals.

JM himself is getting me bread when he returns tonight later later

8:11 pm

does not! it blocks unfriendly signals!

8:11 pm

guess everyone has the 9-letter word

8:12 pm

*sulks in corner and puts on second foil hat for added protection*

8:12 pm

not me jen

No it really doesn't

8:12 pm

Herin - I thought that was why jmc had an aerial atop her foil hat.

8:12 pm

give jmc a clue for the si9, Jen.

8:13 pm

that puts you in a very sad Si9 guys

right

8:13 pm

si9/60 normal all fouled up ..

8:13 pm

you're mean and wrong jac *pulls on third foil hat with feathers*

8:13 pm

What a dreadful si9! We all have the 9-letter word and jmc does not. *grins*

8:13 pm

SNAFU!

8:14 pm

well heck, it's a lovely fashion statement if nothing else, jmc.

8:14 pm

it goes with all the other si words jmc

8:14 pm

sweet of you to clean up the clue torg

8:14 pm

*wonders if jmc is going to try a sheep fleeced lined foil hat next. She's going to end up with an awfully big head if she keeps putting all those hats on.*

omg what the heck has some of these Hollywood women doing to their faces.

8:15 pm

8:15 pm

8:16 pm

Sorry but yes.

8:16 pm

Quite fetching

8:16 pm

jmc - I've got a better idea. Close your eyes tightly and put your hands over them and then we 'won't' be able to see you.:-P

8:17 pm

Fireworks! My last word, quite appropriately the last nu7/32 :-P

8:17 pm

8:22 pm

Hi Min.

8:22 pm

8:22 pm

Hi, Min

8:22 pm

hi min

8:22 pm

Hello Minveryork! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

8:22 pm

Hi Min! welcome to the grid, how are you this evening?

8:22 pm

hi welki

8:23 pm

Hi torg. Didn't see you there.

8:23 pm

when you say, 'layered,' do you mean regular foil layered with heavy duty aluminum foil?

8:23 pm

sigh my MIL fell and broke her hip so now I need to visit her like I was visiting my mother to make sure the NH staff take care of her

8:23 pm

Quietly multi-slacking ..

O JM that is not good

8:24 pm

you probably can't tell but I have three foil caps on with the last one with feathers

8:24 pm

ohhh jmc *big sigh*

8:24 pm

multi-slacking is a perfect term!

8:24 pm

jmc - oh dear! I hope your MIL will be okay. How old is she?

8:24 pm

maybe you should take one off, jm...the lights are flickering

8:24 pm

they gave her a new hip so she has physical therapy coming up

8:24 pm

Jellen - I agree! It's a term I will use often from this moment on.

8:25 pm

oh dear, jmc. i hope all will go well for her.

8:25 pm

oops sorry welki *takes first hat off* how's that?

8:25 pm

So sorry jmc, that's rough for her and you!

8:26 pm

I am sure she will be okay but it has been hard on her family who are spread around

8:26 pm

multi-slacking sounds like my sunday evenings

8:27 pm

jmc - try making holes in the remaining two foil hats for your ears to stick through. Also, make a slit at the front for bringing a fringe of hair through.

8:27 pm

oh good suggestion on the fringe -- i cut it to look like sarah palin for halloween!

8:28 pm

:-D

8:29 pm

any one want to clue some un words?

8:29 pm

gawd, that should scare the heebee jeebees out of everyone, jmc!

8:29 pm

You might then look funnier than I did with a supermarket carrier bag tied around my head by my daughter when she'd dyed my hair and was keeping it warm while it 'took'.

8:30 pm

un + two vowels

8:30 pm

un + perform

8:30 pm

as long as it didn't cover your face!

8:30 pm

ty, lbd. hi, i'm back

8:30 pm

A lot have to do with not being a divider.

8:30 pm

That's un 4/6

8:31 pm

un + he, she or **, third person singular

8:31 pm

un4.6 - you might un4.6 your shoe laces. You might also un5.12 them.

8:31 pm

glad for your return, DC

8:32 pm

wb dc

8:32 pm

Hi, dc!

8:32 pm

8:33 pm

jmc - can't remember the male figures.

8:34 pm

8:34 pm

The last two have to do with speaking

8:34 pm

8:34 pm

8:35 pm

Hi, sea and wht...I'm multi-slacking

8:35 pm

ty for that info jac!

8:36 pm

i believe there is a country music song in the word multi-slacking

8:37 pm

Muscat Killing? Is that a song?

8:37 pm

I like the concept of multi-slacking.

8:37 pm

Muscat love. But no more than 4 un5s

8:38 pm

Could be jmc...I'll email it to my friend who writes country music...

8:38 pm

Magic Kills Nut?

8:40 pm

Gnus Lack Limit

8:40 pm

8:40 pm

It's endless, the anagrams you can get. I will stop looking now.

8:41 pm

Una notte en Napoli, con la luna e il mare, e contato a un angelo, qui non piu volar

8:41 pm

omg they are doing the offensive costumes again

JM where?

8:43 pm

'offensive' costumes? Are they dressed for battle?

8:43 pm

on the skating they russians wore "aboriginal" costume in Australia

8:43 pm

You can watch the hockey. No offensive costumes there.

I thought they binned that?

8:43 pm

don't like hockey but thank you wht

8:43 pm

they toned it down apparently

8:44 pm

at least they got rid of the face paint and the "dark skin" suit

We only have hockey here

8:45 pm

*sits on hands so she doesn't ask when dressing up as someone from another culture became offensive*

8:46 pm

*sits on hands so she doesn't say that the PC nu7/32 see offence where none is taken and none intended*

8:47 pm

the complaint was that it wasn't authentic but it was more a caricature

8:47 pm

That's why Jac's the Queen of PC.

8:47 pm

*makes jac a foil crown*

8:48 pm

Canada scored

8:48 pm

wtg canada! just don't beat the U.S.

8:49 pm

That's what I get for switching to watch the dancing.

8:49 pm

*sits on hands so she doesn't say the caricatures are not meant to be taken seriously but are done in fun. And that she's talked to enough people from other cultures to know that it's only the PC nu7/32 who 'decide' offence is or might be felt.*

8:49 pm

US is still up 4-3 with 2:34 left.

8:49 pm

8:50 pm

8:50 pm

jmc - of course I know that. Just like I know that, depending on how I feel at the time, I may or may not take offence at something.

8:50 pm

and the day you sit on your hands has yet to come jac! lol

8:51 pm

*tickles jac nose with a feather*

8:51 pm

jmc - but I have been sitting on my hands! I've got 'pins & needles' in them now! *rubs hands*

8:51 pm

*run away*

8:51 pm

AAAAATCHOO!

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

:-P

8:52 pm

Who stuck that bloody feather under by dose?

8:52 pm

*giggle*

8:52 pm

this game is nerve wracking

8:52 pm

Wow! ..What a game ..

8:53 pm

woo hoo!

8:53 pm

USA just scored into an empty net.

8:53 pm

holy cow!

8:53 pm

oh my was that the US that scored?

8:53 pm

Phantom words for me today are entries and vanities

8:53 pm

yes

8:53 pm

5-3 now. 44 seconds left

8:54 pm

I see Dan's worshipping me again.:-)

8:55 pm

USA wins.

8:55 pm

phewww! game over

8:56 pm

8:56 pm

whooo hooo US

8:56 pm

Even the tape replay channel knew a good game when it came up.

8:56 pm

We LOVE cows. I also love roast beef, but my daughter's a fish and egg eating veggie.

8:57 pm

Keep going Min!

8:57 pm

okay does this mean that US will get a medal?

8:57 pm

No this just the preliminary round

8:57 pm

Looks like gold or silver, if I understood correctly

8:58 pm

oh okay still a couple of games to go then

8:59 pm

Guess I didn't understand :-)

8:59 pm

I think both USA and Canada are through to the medal rounds

8:59 pm

Amy Williams, first individual gold medal for UK in 30 years, skeleton bob.

9:00 pm

At least I understand hockey. More than I can say about curling.

9:00 pm

I don't watch, but I do get reports given to me.

9:01 pm

I always used to play Left Back for the winning side in hockey at school. It meant I didn't have to run about too often.

9:02 pm

it just said that canada will go forward

9:02 pm

My usual position was Left Out.

9:03 pm

Didn't matter what sport

9:03 pm

I still have no idea how I ended up on the hockey team. That's field hockey, not ice hockey, btw. Doing the bully-off was best... you could 'accidentally' crack your opponent around the ankles before making off with the ball.

9:03 pm

I don't like sport. *grins*

9:04 pm

I did fairly well in sports.

9:04 pm

wht - Oh dear, were you not picked? I often got picked, but I bet they wish they hadn't picked me afterwards.

9:05 pm

I was sometimes picked last because i was not popular but they would eventually pick me because i was very good at pretty much every game.

9:05 pm

you can play baseball with me wht

9:06 pm

I was pretty much an athletic washout as a kid.

9:06 pm

How about softball, jmc.

9:07 pm

not a big fan of softball (such a different game) but sure

9:07 pm

we could name it the Battling Quakers

9:08 pm

Penn has the Fighting Quakers.

9:08 pm

There's an oxymoron for ya ..

9:09 pm

I was on a softball team on a previous job.

9:10 pm

I wonder how many lives have been screwed up by not being Popular at school?

9:11 pm

I don't know. Even worse are the people who peaked in High School

9:11 pm

I wasn't a geek, I wasn't a glamour girl, but I always got on okay because I always was confident that being me was okay.

9:11 pm

well that is why we can't use the fighting quakers

9:12 pm

i did fine in college it was before then i was in terrible shape

9:12 pm

the struggling quakers?

9:12 pm

Quakers on a Mission?

9:13 pm

ooh I like that jac

9:13 pm

:-D

9:13 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the in 6/21 word please?

9:14 pm

Indian as i Jaipur or as in Native American (what I call Red Injuns)?

9:15 pm

Jaipur

9:15 pm

Never miind! I just got that in 6/21 word, thank you!

9:17 pm

Liked that dance...

9:17 pm

Watched the very long film 'Australia' the night before last. I don't like what 'the white man' did to the native people of Australia, NZ, USA, Africa.

9:17 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the si 6/18 word please?

9:17 pm

Go, Min!

9:18 pm

Actually, I need that first si 6/18 word if you have it.

9:18 pm

si 6= si*! Stay + number

9:18 pm

There are two 2/18. Referring to people who are not standing

9:19 pm

nice dance and nice that they are ahead

9:19 pm

But,in some cases, especially in Africa, re tribal wars, some kind of peace was maintained in the past. Perhaps not always in the best kind of way, though. But, thinking ogf the machete masaacres in Rwanda, maybe we should have stayed 'in power'.

9:19 pm

Ther first is a funny past tense

and I am back

9:20 pm

Thank you for the si6/18 clue. I just found the word.

9:20 pm

S's Stomped! 4 left

9:20 pm

the second si6.18 is what yu might be if you look after someone's baby.

9:21 pm

i recommend you read the US Peace Institute discussion of that Jac I learned a lot

9:21 pm

Link to it please, jmc?

9:21 pm

let find brb

9:22 pm

I'd also like to read the UK discussions on that. We, the Dutch and the French were there first.

9:23 pm

If you don't belive the Dutch influence, listen to Afrikaans as she is spoke by the English.

9:24 pm

T's Toppled! 2 left

9:25 pm

Oddly enough, the New Zealanders also use the same vowel soundsin speech, i,e 'black' = 'bleck'. More Dutch inluence.

9:25 pm

Go Min

9:26 pm

I am done! I have fireworks!en6/18 was my last word

9:26 pm

I can't find it jac I have it bookmarked on my office computer

9:26 pm

whooo hooo min!

9:26 pm

wtg min

9:26 pm

Yay, Min!!!

9:27 pm

The new 'typical Aussie' accent as sported by Hollywood and teenagers from the Antipodes, uses those vowel sounds. Also, teenagers the world over use the Aussie thing of making a statement sound like a question by using an upturn at the end of a sentence.

9:27 pm

Don't see anyone else asking for clues, but I am here.

Don't knock our lack of speaking

9:28 pm

Jilli posted a funny link to the last, btw.

9:28 pm

too wrapped up in the ice dancing now

9:28 pm

Herin - I'm not knocking it.

9:29 pm

I put 'typical Aussie' in quotes for the very reason that I know it is not typical.

yep

9:30 pm

Teens from any country or culture will always hit on some way to make themselves sound either shocking or different.

9:30 pm

Time for me to go. Night all.

9:35 pm

Hi, PAV and GE, and congrats!!!

9:35 pm

Last night of freedom to drink, smoke and chat late for me. Early night later to be at hospital for 1pm treadmill heart tests, no tea, coffee, cigarettes etc., for 4 hours before the test. This is our young and eager new GP getting too eager after my Mum was diagnosed with angina a couple of weeks ago. Now he's going to send me, a fat, middle-aged smoker, drinker and mother of 2 kids on the same test. If I last the 6 mins my Mum did on the treadmill without having a coronary (I don't DO running!), I'll no doubt be back to tell you all that if I don't give up smoking and drinking, and lose weight, I'll be dead sooner than I might want to bre.

9:35 pm

Hi PAV.

Jac neither do I

9:36 pm

you can do it , Jac!

9:36 pm

Congratulations Good Enough on fireworks! Hooray!!

9:37 pm

Hello PAV3! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog!

9:37 pm

luck be with you Jac! If it were me I might pick out my head stone first.

9:37 pm

PAV - I can and will if the UK doesn't grind to a halt this week due to snow again.

9:37 pm

my doc at least gave me a one-year notice on that "stress test"

9:40 pm

go Pav!

9:41 pm

interesting info about the New Yorker, Min. thanks

9:41 pm

erns

9:41 pm

Only kidding. If they can't contend with the 'not the mamma' me and my past, well that's their problem. The fact that I want to 'go out' to Lyn Skyn's 'Freebird' should already have warned them.

9:41 pm

sorry...wasn't watching what I was doing...

9:41 pm

Pav's all at sea!

Jac my b.fs parents were pot smoking hippies

9:44 pm

Pot gave me a thumping headache, Herin. Only tried it twice and then never bothered again.

I have seen the pics

9:46 pm

Black resin like an oxo cube first time and green stuff second time.

9:47 pm

Black Afghan, herin.

9:48 pm

9:48 pm

Yay, SeaSpray!!!

9:48 pm

Anyway, Herin, unless I have arthritic pain to be settled, I won't be going the marijuana route again.

yah Sea

9:49 pm

Well done Seaspray.

9:49 pm

ty all, have a great day/night!

9:50 pm

So, Herin, what is the kindest form to take?

none. I am just saying that hash resin is fairly errr not good

9:51 pm

Coy all of a sudden?

No not at oil. I am just saying that the resin is more potent.

And I hadn't gone coy. I was trying to think back to the classes I took when I did Youth work

9:58 pm

whoooo hoooo sea! night night

9:58 pm

9:59 pm

G'night, lbd

10:00 pm

Greetings, gremlinn!

10:00 pm

hey Jellen

10:00 pm

Hey everyone I missed

10:01 pm

I can't get onto youtube now, as it's telling me to update my browser. I have done re Firefox but will NOT be accepting McAfee add ons. GRRR!

10:01 pm

d + two prepositions

10:01 pm

da + double consonant + vowel

10:01 pm

so i wanted to come home and chill with a grid, but i think this one is a bit too big for me!

10:01 pm

It was a fun one - lots of long words

10:02 pm

Granted, mostly because of the nice -ers ending

10:02 pm

def more than 2 hours worth of hunting...

10:02 pm

Re da5/12 - if yuo wanted to say 'same again' di5/12.

10:02 pm

hi pippin and thanks Jellen and grem..got'em both

10:02 pm

Hi, pipping

10:03 pm

10:03 pm

It's quite a kindly grid, pippin.

10:03 pm

yeah, but i hate not finishing, and i think there's not enough time for me. there's always tomorrow

10:03 pm

Youcan get lots of words straight off but may need more time to finish. Play the game!

10:04 pm

besides, it's 11 and i've been at work or working out since 7am, and i think maybe bed could be my friend

10:04 pm

it took about as much time as a mid-100s grid usually does

10:04 pm

how's your "other" friend - the texter

10:05 pm

This all sounds like lyrics from a number of Queen songs that youtube will no longer allow me to link to. Double GRR!

10:05 pm

I need the very last da6 24

10:06 pm

pav - we went on worst date ever, so i think i will limit our interactions to rock climbing. saw him today and things were mellow

10:06 pm

d + abbreviation for down under + learn to *** your shoes

10:06 pm

sorry to hear, pippin...too much expectations?

10:06 pm

da 4/6 + 2 vowels

10:07 pm

I'm off to annoy my other half by wrapping my cold self around him like ivy now.

10:07 pm

thanks again grem and Jellen

10:07 pm

no - he took me to a fast food place, lectured me about something, and told me what career change i should make - not really hat i like in a guy

10:07 pm

Happy Babbling and yuotubing (huh!) all. xx

10:07 pm

bye jac

10:08 pm

10:09 pm

at least i will get to tell this story for years! good funny bad dates are priceless

10:09 pm

night Jac!

10:09 pm

G'night, jac

10:09 pm

Aha, secretly he knew he could help provide a lasting memory - how sweet!

10:10 pm

perfectly fine - do you have any idea how many gorgeous people there are at a rock climbing gym? i'd rather watch them than worry about him any day

10:11 pm

don't we all wish to be remembered for something?

10:11 pm

i think so - tho i would generally prefer to be memorable for doing something good rather than being terrible at something i want to do well

Pip it seems to me like this lad has been reading The Game

10:12 pm

well that's one game he's lost before he got a chance to play the fun parts!

Apparnetly it is a book that teachers guys to date. Sorry I just think its b.s

10:13 pm

...and in the game of life, we can't win if we don't play...

10:13 pm

most of those books are, on both sides of the gender aisles

10:14 pm

No, the only way to win is NOT to play. Don't you remember the end of War Games?

I don't like burning books in fact it makes me chringe. But in this case I feel that those books make good fire blocks

10:14 pm

how about global thermonuclear war?

10:14 pm

Or maybe that's a different game.

10:14 pm

how true, Grem. and in the new Star Trek, Kirk doesn't play, he just re-programmed the game...

10:15 pm

How...about...a nice game...of chess?

this is all very fascinating and such but I really really need to sleep for a bit. O and as for Kirk he makes his own rules

10:15 pm

I do chess! at least I used to...

Bye, MPitt

I suppose I could stay for the flip...but all I may drink is water...

11:47 pm

good night MPitt

11:47 pm

bye mpitt

11:48 pm

me too Pav, nothing until after a visit to the lab

11:48 pm

it's my regular blood-letting to discover all the good things I've been doing edible-wise...

11:49 pm

good for you Pav, this is also routine, yearly, but he's ticked off just about everything on the form

11:49 pm

they may drain me!!

11:49 pm

Still only one pinprick, though, isn't it?

11:50 pm

yep, and th doc will be looking for my allergy meds to show up too...

11:50 pm

yes, thanks goodness jilli

11:50 pm

ONLY! one is quite enough for me...

11:50 pm

ah, to make sure you're taking them Pav, like a good boy

11:51 pm

yes, isn't it awful, how we dread these silly little pin-pricks

11:51 pm

I'm taking Omnaris...the latest in NSAID nasal sprays

11:51 pm

interesting, have not heard of it

11:52 pm

after we ran through the list of what I have taken, this was it...

11:52 pm

good think I don't mind them -- have to have one very 4 weeks because of arthritis meds

11:52 pm

wow, so you've tried them all?

11:52 pm

*good thing

11:52 pm

oh Jilli, I wouldn't care for that

11:53 pm

flosey, that cake looks TOO delicious!

11:53 pm

I was looking for the most decadent cake I could find - not bad eh?

11:53 pm

it's just a drag having to get there before 1 pm

11:53 pm

..and after the latest voluntary bloodletting for the local UNited Blood Services drive, wherein they couldn't find a vein in me to save my life or any others, I've just about sworn off any more blood letting....

11:54 pm

oh Pav, that's awful - happened to hubby, they finally asked him if he'd like to come back the next day! someone else would be on

11:54 pm

well, Movieman might not gain an ounce, but it sure looks pound worthy

11:54 pm

When that happens, you gotta bring out the leeches.

11:55 pm

doesn't it Pav

11:55 pm

oh yuk Grem, that sounds pretty yukky

11:55 pm

and, there's really nothing pretty about yukky

11:56 pm

(to correct myself, before jilli does)

11:56 pm

like Thurber's "pretty ugly"

11:56 pm

It's pretty pretty.

11:56 pm

lol

11:56 pm

and not purty ugly?

11:56 pm

am I that bad, flosey?

11:56 pm

Darn, that no longer looks like a real word.

hi all! actually made it for the flip

11:57 pm

no no no jilli, I appreciate being corrected

hugs jili; flosey; grem; pav

11:57 pm

(from Thurber's book, "My Days With Ross" when he was with the New Yorker)

11:57 pm

hi Dee

11:57 pm

hi Dee!

11:57 pm

hugs back Dee

11:57 pm

hi dee hi

11:57 pm

11:58 pm

11:58 pm

11:58 pm
