wtg dart
ty mlf
i actually did it in 2 minutes today - i was a minute or so late for flip
are you super human?
mostly it's just knowing that the word has to be there somewhere, and it has to start here, and there's so many babblets that if you remember you can see with a close look at a corner etc
NBT!
great, but afraid it's beyond me
and now Pav, wow, guess I'd better start paying attention to the grid
Z greyed ll
lol
it's not for everyone - it just happens to be a fruitful way for me to dive into the grid to be honest
24 for 23...I messed one up...
not a useful thing for me at all
well if I don't think I'll finish, at least I have a word from each tile...
Clues are up

okay different icon not related to theme
i am stalled at 40 words

mlf, if you find an icon you like from Google images, you can save it into your My Pictures. Is that what you did at first?

I'm taking a kitchen break
whipping up another cake jilli?
157/10, but too tired to finish -- see you tomorrow :)
I'm baaack, dishwasher loaded, banana consumed. Absolutely no cake-making.
wow, nan!
welcome back jilli - even if you didn't bake us a cake
I need a clue for the first ou7 please?
I'll have a piece of yours, please, flosey
by all means, here's a nice big slice
am sure MovieMan would like everyone to enjoy it
mmmm, yum, and no calories :)
sorry I can't help with the ou
not at all jilli
will keep looking
btw, flosey, I won't be at bridge tomorrow -- staying home to watch the ice dance finals
I'd love to do that jilli - darn, now Paul has his partner back
I only saw one today, the Canadian couple - didn't think much of the costumes but their skating was exellent
can you tape them?
yes, do you know exactly what time?
no, but it's usually in the evening on SportsNet
I'll look it up, can tape 4 hours anyway and that should pick it up
then all you have to do is find the time to watch it
never missed one in the past but got so annoyed at the judges when that couple skated a perfect set and were misjudged, then had to take it back
they knew they had skated perfectly and expected first of course, do you remember - that was when we were back in Ontario
can't remember their names but they did get married
Victor Kratz and Shaelyn Bourne? (sp?)
they skated the pairs, not ice dancing
no, I loved them though, they just couldn't be beaten, was disappointed when they stopped
wow, has everyone left? look back, we're tying this chatline up
of course -- can't remember the others but I certainly remember the incident
I think most left!
that couple sat with the commentator during the pairs skate
I just googled Canadian ice dancers and Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz WERE ice dancers. He has been commenting on the skating.
oh yes, I watched them every chance I had, they were so in tune with each other, great to watch
can't find that couple in Google yet
I just did jilli, Jamie Sale and David Pellatier? spelling
Pelletier, I think
that looks right
I scribbled it in a hurry then couldn't read it
Yes, that's it -- good for you. I didn't realise it was so recent
I haven't seen them skate since before 1995 when we came out here - it was after they weren't given 1st at first call, it had to be corrected
the judges' scoring was faulted, they had given it to the Russians, but had to change it
just left a bad taste! the Russian girl (If I remember correctly) fell, or at least made a glaring error, and Jamie and David had a perfect skate
the judging was so bad back then
It was in 2002, says Google
really? didn't realize it could have been that recent
oh, for a while we had a tv in the bedroom back then, may have watched more than I remember
I didn't either -- thought it was when we were back in Hudson
I mean the incident
yes, I was sure it was when we were in Ontario
well, we were wrong!
good morning, you two ladies of the North!
Hi there Ruby
hi ruby :)
yes we were Jilli, was just reading Wikipedia
I never get to see the skating as husband isn't interested. So I made him watch the ENDLESS classic cross country the other night!!
I hope he hated it
good for you ruby - have to put your foot down sometimes
must confess, though, I don't often enough
I was lucky to have a cooperative hubby
rule
yes!
sorry, still sleepy is there coffee in th PB?
anything you want, ruby
lol, hubby came up to tell me the ice dance was on (tonight) but that was after he was finished watching (whatever) and there was only one couple left to watch!
always ruby, but first you have to put a word in the grid - preferably one we don't have
Oh, too bad, flosey -- you missed the wonderful Canadians! They are in first place.
yes, darn
wonder if they'll rebroadcast tomorrow?
there was a repeat on NBC
I did get to see the men's short program, however, but not the long one.
the times are so weird here
I enjoy the Ice dance more than any of the skating
me too
I do too -- used to do some elementary dances -- well, up to the paso doble
good for you, we skated but always outdoors - we had a marvelous rink in Scarboro
it was in a valley, huge ring around a little island of trees that were lit up - it was so beautiful
that sounds so lovely
that was in Leaside -- they had housewives' and pre-school children's classes at the arena which was close by -- great for me and my 4-yr-old boy
yes, I bet
one end of the ice was roped off for the kids , who had their own instructor. We had a really yummy guy teaching us ;)
I remember taking Gordon to the arena in Kimberley - he still has those skates
your Scarboro place sound like a fairyland
he would have to have been 2 at the time
yes, it was, and the lovliest scottish couple ran it
seems to be frozen
seems to be frozen
seems to be frozen
sorry, what was that?
then, several years later they sold it and was renamed "Little Switzerland"
I had been very unhappy in Toronto until I went to that skating -- was really enjoying it all and then we were transferred back to Montreal and there was no such arrangement there.
ah, too bad, for both you and your son
don't know, ruby -- we usually get a hiccup at 2 am grid time but that was later
oh well, we survived!
yes, we do survive, fortunately
what years were you in Toronto, Jilli
1948 - 54
There were no high-rises, no Don Mills, no 401, no subway...
we use to go to a church in the East end, Gerrard and Woodbine
we use to go hiking in the Don Valley
where the DV Parkway is now
We were living on $1800 a year -- no car
no washing machine, coal furnace
I remember starting to work for $18. a week!
even when I quit to get married, I was making $75. a week and that was considered good in 1961
I scrubbed diapers on a washboard, hung them out to dry, and a train would come by and deposit soot on them
I remember coal furnace - and the old Coal bin
oh nasty, how frustrating
and in the winter, they'd be like boards when you brought them in, lol, I had same thing in Kimberley
oh yes! I did rig up clotheslines in the basement too, for rainy days and winter
geez Jilli, just read back a bit...I was born in '54...
we didn't have a basement, had to bring them in frozen and hang them around the kitchen - it was a very small 2 bedroom house - more like a cottage
yay! 100 words so I can go to bed
I better get to bed too, have to get to lab early so I can have some breakfast after
27 words for tomorrow
and they're not coming easily now
diz, this is such a great meeting place :)
sweet dreams, you two. That was a very interesting conversation about the Canadian "old days"
gd moring dizgrannie
good for you, flosey!
hi all!!
tks jilli, have a good sleep now
hi diz
and bye diz and ruby, enjoy the grid
things have changed a whole lot, ruby!
poof
ty flosey
I guess! I was born in '43, so it was a little different
and I'll say byebye to you too -- happy babbling and *poof*
hard grid, grannie, all I'm getting are tiny words!
see you later grannie, taking a break
see ya ruby, and bye to the rest....
gawd finally got the to 7/8
Hello all. I'm only finding small words, too. This is a h4/6 grid!
too right hydra, hello as well
you did well to get 7 and 8 words, grannie
it was a to 7 to get them...sometime I feel like to 7+ing the peeps who make these grids...LOL
hope the clue turn out okay
Yes, it was brilliant. Thanks, grannie!!!
yw
at least we have the 8...now for the 7's
I'm staring hard at the l and my eyes are glazing over.
Got it! Dancers and gymnasts wear it
Right. Time I began some work. See you later *poof*
nice Hydra - all I saw was Sayer - TY
Hello all
hi lynxxx and grannie (again). Thanks for the 7's.
hi Ruby
WW3 around here since yesterday morning! This is my only respite
It's too cold to go outside
Glad we can provide a haven for you Ruby. Has he only been this bad since his heart problem?
he was not easy before, but he's much worse now. Very aggressive and nasty with me. Yesterday he actually grabbed me in his anger, the first time ever! As I am much smaller, that is no joke.
You are smart enough to take care of yourself I hope. Is he under care of any doctor? if so, perhaps you can speak to them
he is taking a lot of cardio meds, but it is very hard to speak to the doctors privately, especially in French, and they are only concerned with his heart, not with his deportment.
I wonder if it's early dementia....
the aggression is pretty new and it seems to be a typical Altzheimer symptom. But then, I start to think that maybe I just annoy him.
Ruby i feel so bad for you,what makes him so ugly to you ,might be hes angry your feeling well,and he isnt,i dont very often chat ,cause im so slow typing,but im hoping you dont let him touch you ever
I cannot give you any advice - but perhaps you should/could speak to a doctor
reminds me so much of the last 10 years of my marriage ruby,it took heaps of planning and courage to leave and you can do it too, i know from eexperience that you think its something you have to put up with
hi everyone
it is very kind of you both to listen as it is helpful for me to talk about it and, obviously here, it isn't possible
Does he have any adult children anywhere Ruby - or perhaps someone else he us close to?
The problem is that this is my house and he has no place to go. To kick him out and send him where? He has 3 children with whom he has no contact, 5 grandchildren he doesn't know, and now, a great grandson.
It is hard when it could be a medical condition, makes it hard to walk away from the saituation
And, of course, there is the question of money, not having enough to set up two households.
I love it here as well, isolated as it is. My son lives in Austin TX and, of course, has offered me a place to live but that would be awful for me
He has 3 ex-wives, none of whom would want him unless he was rich! LOL ruefully.
Very hard Ruby, but please at least make contact with someone locally that you can fall back on..a doctor, a solicitor ?
So, I stay away from him as much as possible, hunkering down here in my studio.
try seeing a counsellor and consult a solicitor, if its your house especially and i have to say if its a medical condition a lot of men have the same condition!!! and wemen just put up with their behaviour. there is a reason his kids have no contact with him
I'll be OK once it gets warm enough to go outside and I can mess with my garden and sit in the sun.
Do you mean a psychologist? That's a funny idea, having to deal with one in French! It's hard to kick out an unhealthy 84-year old man. However, if he touches me again, that will be it!
Heed Andree s words Ruby, you really can't/shouldn't hide from it
trying to think how many years i spent thinking tomorrow will be better, next year will be better, he is stressed etc etc
No, no, I don't think this will get better. It is much too late for that. I am only hoping for an accommodation to see us through to the end.
i was the expert just as you are now with excuses , for him, his behaviour and why i needed to put up with it
I'm almost 67 and somewhat mechanically fragile, but healthy enough. And, as long as the money lasts, I have some help
I need to talk with my MD, though, maybe she can recommend someone. What they tend to do here is just put everybody on psychotropic meds.
okay you can't kick an 84 year old man out but you can via a solicitor threaten to and give him a big fright
If he would go to someone, that would be a big help, but he doesn't believe in it, thinks he's above it all.
That's a good idea
You should be able to find a good english speaking solicitor over there surely
i won't keep on about it ruby but you MUST do something
Thank you, ladies, I feel better having gotten this off my chest. You are right, Andree, I have to do something. I am afraid to tell my son because he would be on the next plane! But even that wouldn't be such a bad idea
Might be a good idea if it helps you to address the situation
he would die of embarrassment if he knew I told anybody! He can be very charming when he wants to be, so it is easy to see me as the shrew!
tell him, dramatic as this may seem at least someone will know should something happen to you
are you sure he's not related to my ex,lol
too funny!
I'm very slow with this grid, just found the fish
I just found it, too, and the plural (I though it was the plural)
I think this is the mot t's I've seen in a grid
I'll go and make him lunch now and see what happens
Thank you all for listening and for offering your kind advice!!!! hugs!
bye for now Ruby
hello everyone, again! can't sleep, maybe I can find a few more wors
I want lothario
really!
really! LOL
hi Flosey and love-starved Ata
word starved more like :D
hi ata and flosey
toughie
hi lyn, ata, andree
does anyone have a clue for st6, please?
hi flosey, hi all
it sure is a slow grid
st6 st & t**** or dare - change the vowel
tell the t****, don't lie
tytyty, was coming from wrong direction
yw
just a quick note lynxx and andree, I just went upstairs and he very sweetly asked me if I could help him because he had little cuts on his fingers from carrying wood. I think he was feeling bad and that was his way of being nice.
well ruby, look after him and maybe you'll have a pleasant evening
but I will still think about your advice and figure things out!
are you sure he is not related to my ex, that is exactly what he would do when he realised he had gone too far. unfortunatly he soon forgot
still have to get through the afternoon, lol!
I agree, you need someone there to talk to and advise
That good Ruby - but please still speak to someone/s about the situation. It is endangering your wellbeing
I agree. Maybe he is your ex, Andree, after all, he's had 3 other wives.....
I agree lyn, your health comes first Ruby - physical, mental and emotional
lol
mine got exactly what he deserved, new wife says jump and he says how high, he does all the cooking cleaning, shopping etc, lives in terror of being left again... the most important thing to him whwn i left was the injury to his ego
some men are extremely foolish
still havent forgiven mine for noticing I'd had a hair cut and got a new dress and didn't even say I looked nice last week. Small things I know, but ...
foolishness is not a gendered trait.
very true Bonkler...some women are also! (myself included)
he should have noticed ata, some men seem to walk about with blinkers
or at least make some placatory noises even if he didn't really notice LOL
we are all, at one moment or another, wearing the fools hat. failure to communicate one's problems or issues is a big indicator of the fool's way. in some regards it is a matter of priority. what might seem like blinkers might indicate that he's comfortable with you and your presence. what you might see as a drastic change might seem like a a new colour on the ever changing palette of your person. but sticking with a resentment and dwelling on it, letting it eat at you and not saying anything...
Hello
hi herin
Ata I didn't notice my b.f had shaved all day. Some people just arent observant
v true bonkler. hi herin
Hi back

My house guest has gone so I can chat :-)
Think I will just chat and give the grid a miss today (famous last words).
Oh. You think I shoiuldn't have started?
hows your foot??
hi Sally
Hi lynxxx
painful and getting to be multi coloured but OK
Poor FM!
Leg is stiff as a post first thing but have only had to take 1 pain killer today so far.
But I WILL be there on Friday :)
The great UK Babble meet, eh?
I can meet you at Victoria and help you hobble!
I hope one of you will post photos.
Oh now there's a thought! we will have to co-ordinate maybe yahoo at some point. Ata has promised to bring her camera Sally
I'll be coming in to Vic anywa
Stylish icon, FM! From your own collection, are they?
excellent, I was wondering about that this very morning in fact.
LOL of course Sally ;) Forgot I was still sporting yesterdays icon theme.
You had the best bad spelling icon FM! laughed out loud when I saw it
*grin*
what did you have? I missed that!
Was that the sign on the road?
yes it Should have said STOP but had been painted on the road as SOTP
looooooool
in about 6 feet high letters
I love google images - never know what you will find.
Wisdh it would stop raining, it's been pouring down all morning.
Our sky looks ominous. Had quite a bit of snow yesterday morning, and looks a bit like more to come later. Since our house guest is driving back to Billingshurst, hope it holds off for her!
ditto here
anyone else surprise at how bald Prince William looked at the BAFTA's?
*surprised
nope LOL
security must have been amazing as he was "up close" with fans and taking pix
No, Une. Look at his father and grandfather.
no - had noticed before
but he
Hi Une, haven't seen any ofthe coverage but i guess he has got that from his Father
but he's so YOUNG
Back in 5 need to walk around a bit and strech leg.
Harry of course has a good head of hair :-) Teasing.
here's snippet, fmitch: http://tinyurl.com/ya3c24l
my eldest son had started to lose his hair before he was 30
brb too, I need tea. And yes ... very suspicious about Harry :P
ata LOL
Ditto my son - 31 now
tea! did someone say tea? yes please
and my youngest has the most amazing head of hair, go figure
Wow Andree - beautiful costume
good morning babble friends! name that proper noun: carribean island, much discussed in the Pirates franchise?
hi Trif!
*hands out tea for all*
Would anyone like a chocolate brownie?
hi trif
yes please!!
Plenty to go round.
no one guesses the proper noun then?
no idea trif
not me, sorry
don't even know what the Pirate's franchise is trif
Tortola for the win!
tortuga or something similar
have most of my attention on the ice dancing
but I do know the Israeli ha6/39....
I am making the most amazing costume for Primo right now, for the Anime Boston convention in a couple of months. If it comes out worthy, I will post tons of photos
does it end iin the high score letter?
TY Eva
he is going as a prince from Italy in the 1400's
yes ata and yw lynxxx
what anime is that from?
when I tried it I was sure it would be rejected, as it is certainly not in common use in English, but there it was
Assassin's Creed
the end of that word is extremely timely
yes indeed-and that's there too
odd thinking of AC as anime! too used to it as a game lol But that will be fab!
yes, ata, if I can get it finished on time, and in budget!
I've got to start thinking about dragoncon costumes at some point
i have made many costumes in my time , the worst was the crocidile in peter pan
worst to make or worst-looking?
yes, I imagine that ticking must have gotten irritating after a while, ha ha ha
worst to make
brb
I used to be dragged in to make costumes - my favourite was John the Baptists head!! I made it in papier mache over a balloon but the balloon kept bursting covering me in wet paper and paste!!When the show was over the kids fought tp be the one tro take it home|!!
lol!
i do not quite understand the bobsleigh, is the guy at the back just for weight or are they just cowering in fear?
messy & gruesome, nice Deeha
LOL Deeha
weight I *think* andree
I think you are right Ata
let's look on wiki! wiki knows everything
go on then and you can illuminate us :)
A crew is made up of a pilot, a brakeman, and, in 4 man only, two pushers. Athletes are selected based on speed and strength, necessary to push the sleigh to a competitive initial speed at the start of the race. Pilots must have the skill, timing, and finesse to drive the sleigh along the best possible line to achieve the greatest possible speed.
i am sure it is weight, i was joking about the cowering
but it always does seem strange to have random extra people on the thing!
well there you go, yet again the bable chat has taught us something we didn't know we needed to know *grin*
these Ts are very hard to get on with
i just find it funny that the 2nd person does nothing once they climb in and shares the medal honours
me too. or the *3* other people even
reminds me of that flim called Cool Running I think about the Jamacain bobsleigh team
wouldn't their weight keep the speed up?
yep, just seems odd to win a medal for running really fast for a few secs then hiding for the rest of the race!
lol Ata
that was a good movie fm
I could probably win a gold medal for cowering!
me too ,lol
yes Andree, one of those feel good ones.
its the ice hockey now

Hi and bye Aloy!

that's Atalanta, I think
she fell down steps
ah, yes, I think you are right.. oh no, so sorry about the fall
i am off to bed, 39 left, happy babbling all

is it me or is it a tricky little one today??
It's not you Deeha - I;m still working on the T's and having trouble with them!
It can be absolute to*****
le 7/36 clue please
le7/36 ---gymnasts wear them, starts with a man's name
hello everyone
Thanks Annie
hi all.
top corner R please?
afternoon everyone
hi jbp and katie,....dont have that corner R
nm, it's andy griffiths cracker
ri6 - a task undertaken on a regular basis
one is a posh hotel in london
Hi i've got ritz
Hello all! Just passing through.
Hello Haz
last one for nbt before work... T middle row, furthest right
and hi Haz
polly, we usually try not to tell what words we have in the chat log. I see you were born in a good year?
ts4 - as seen in Russia
tr/5 fish
nm, it's like Peter of Russia
Hi Haz sorry,still learning.Yes a very good year!
off to work...bbl. good day everyone!
bye jbp have a good day
Yes, the 58 in my name refers to my year of birth, we're still young in heart.
phone
When did you start playing babble, polly?
This is only my 3rd or 4th go,someone gave a link on answerbank
I hope you enjoy it, some people claim to be addicted, but they're very weak-willed.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so you are not addicted then Haz?
Mildly attached.
LOL none of us are adicted allegedly :)
at least i'm not giving it up for lent this year
I must admit it is addictive but there are some very obscure words when i checked yesterdays answers!
you will be going pro before you know it polly
Hi FM
Yes, some people get frustrated when there are words that they don't know and will never use. You do get to know some of the more frequent ones and it's amazing how you come to be on speaking terms with Welsh crowds and Madagascan hedgehogs.
Oh i doubt it
all hai the tenrec!
The most important thing is to enjoy it as a game.
Haz, update - Ata is also coming into Voctira so she and I will meet up and she wil help me hobble to the hotel *big happy grin*
*Victoria even
Yes and its better than doing the ironing
Oh, that's good news. You're not hiring crutches for the day, just for added drama?
good lord no!
Since you mention ironing, polly, does that mean that you're British?
why does ironing = being British?
Yes,from a sunny but icy North Yorkshire
Just a theory. And I was right!
oh where abouts polly?
When do i get a flag and avatar?
Most Americans on here seem to talk about folding their laundry and react with horror when the ir4/4 is mentioned.
when you go pro
Polly, the tile stats stay with you for free for a fortnight. After that they disappear. If you want them back, you need to pay for pro membership and that also entitles you to a flag etc.
The payment is a one off for life - and you can use Paypal! But, it's up to you, you'll always be able to play the game for free.
My Mums family hail from Middlesbro, my Grandpa worked all his life at the steel works that they are just 'starting to mothball' :(
It's true that very few people I know iron any more-or at least very rarely. I don't know whether that's because almost everyone works such long hours or whether we are more accepting of wrinkles?
opps-pb for me!
My partners niece and her husband both work at Corus,all his family are Redcar
I think you probably use tumble driers on a more regular basis as well, Eva. I have one, but try to limit its use to days when there's no prospect of getting clothes dried outside.
sad sad times for all of those at Teeside.
that's true Haz.
Hi Eva and Merp!
Very sad indeed.
Greetings FM and mrrrp!
Mind you, I still ir4/4 the clothes when they emerge from the drier.
:)Oh must go lunch almost ready Back in a bit.
I've given dress shirts away because they had to be ir6.....until I got married, I didn't even own the implement for performing that task.
Bye FM.
I think I'm very much in the minority because I actually like ir4/4ing.
good morning .... ah ir 4/4. Today is my ir 4/4 ing day. I love Mondays
Hello, Mom! Another devotee?
I still don't own said implement... the husband does but I do not, LOL!
Hi Haz. Very much so
I love the look and smell of a newly ir4ed blouse but I do not like the chore but I do it as necessary
{{Annie}} good morning
yes, all blouses and shirts must have a crease in them
Good morning, Annie.
Hi ((Mom)) and Haz
Carlee said to tell the "gang" hello
*Carleekat*
Is she well?
my grandson is having the stitches removed from his outer ear today. He was playing dodgeball and fell onto a sharp edge and ouch! Twenty stitches!
oh my gosh, Annie, that is terrible
Twenty stitches is a LOT.
I'm gritting my teeth at the thought.
yes Haz, she is doing just fine
Quite a lot, I was surprised to hear that too. He took the entire episode better than all of us.
Getting stitches put in is less painful than having them removed.
What age is he, Annie?
he is 9.
Carleekat has not been seen in ages.
she doesn't play any more, Annie
Is she still stomping on the grapes?
I hope he recovers completely, Annie, it must have been a shock for everyone.
she writes that things are good. She is no longer working and very bored.
Haz, It could have been worse so we all grateful.
Absolutely.
*are
Is carlee on facebook, is that how you keep in touch, Mom?
she is on Facebook.
I hadn't seen her in such a long time and I wrote her asking how she was doing and got the reply this morning
Ok how do you spell dirth if not dirth?
dearth
That's good, you never know when people disappear just why they've gone.
dearth
dirth
derth
dearth
three's the charm
and she was always here every morning without fair
hi all
Hi Jmcnrick
thank you Haz :-) I knew you would know the answer
Hello jmc.
fail*
hi j mc
You're welcome, Katie, but Annie did as well, and jmc did eventually.
i am showing off my brave little crocus again this morning
yes I think I was the only one who didn't know!
I didn't know either Katie
no katie i have to type something until i see the right one
i can't spell but i can usually tell if something is misspelled oddly enough
I see all words in my head even when people are speaking.
is that annoying?
I'd better go and get on with some work. See you all later x
I could move along on this grid a lot easier if the E and R in the lower corner were transposed
what if it is a word you don't know?
Bye Katie.
bye katie
bye bye Katie.
I used to think that everyone saw words in their head, it's like a kind of transcript. But apparently people don't, I got very odd looks when I first mentioned it. It can get annoying if two or three or more people are speaking at once, I can't transcribe fast enough.
i bet
no matter, numbers all have personalities for me
If it's a language I don't know, then I can switch off and just hear the sounds as sounds. But the transcript thing works for languages I know.
Anyway, time to get lunch, husband is home!
bye for now Haz
bye haz
bye, haz, enjoy your lunch with Mr. Haz
I guess i will go get some work done
bbl
bye bye Jmcnrick
bye, jmc
Bye all from me too
bye polly
bye bye Polly
I am not seeing even the easiest of words.
Hi Mom. Just was away from the grid for a bit. I still have 20 to find, but can I help with any clues?
Hi Sally. I am just starting out, but I keep doing head slaps when I find these easy words that should jump out at me but don't
I appreciate the offer.
It is a bit like that today, isn't it. Some nice ones in there as well.
I think if I would just sit and focus on it instead of trying to do a number of things it might be easier
But you're a woman! You can multi-task :-)
on most things, yes. Babble, apparently not
Well I have just been searching and searching for my last R word, which turned out to be ro 5/10 and a real fish-slap! Don't know why I couldn't see it.
:) glad you found it
Just got the phone call I have been waiting for. TIme to go to the quilting bee. Have a good day. Sally, thanks for the offer of help. {{Hugs}}
bye ((Mom)))...and bye dear babblers
bye bye {{Annie}} so good to see you again
Bye Mom, happy quilting.
Thanks Sally, have a good afternoon.
Does happy firework dance. Must be off, see you all tomorrow with any luck.

nope, the board doesnt rotate. it is how it is...
that would be interesting, though~
won't take certain words, ears ruts. says does not exist in the puzzle, what is that
if u put the monitor on a lazy susan, it will rotate
it takes "ears"
make sure you don't have an extra blank at the end of the word.
hey, swanky! are you the swanky from boggle?
torn
sorry ... accidentally typed a word in the wrong place! lol
'btw .. thx for the info

Poor Stid, always typing fingers to the bone.
I can hope, bichon! LOL
hello mongie and tammy
hi, stidmama

Have you tried the lickety babble clues? the link is at the bottom of the page
god bless and forever keep lickety;))
tammy ... no, haven't tried much here. Thx for the tip!
It's helpful
Sorry to hear Stid, I'm sure it will, though.
Hi stidmama
also check out angelsong's pages, folks... http://www.freewebs.com/angelsong/ lots of help there
thanks. I will for sure

you have daffodils, stidmama?
YAY, It worked Stid
she did some lovely work, hego. and some that was pretty weird... imho
I do, mixi! and more down the driveway now!
oh, yeah weird is right.
I'm jealous. we should have them, but don't yet.
I saw a robin this AM.
we don't normally have daffodils or buds on the peaches this early. it's just been too warm and dry.
I saw a bunch of robins the week before it snowed.
oh, I love it when robins appear!
where are you warm and dry? it's raining today!
there. NBT. took forever today.
sunny and dry for the 4th or 5th day in a row, Puget Sound.
it should start raining again tomorrow or Wednesday
;(( crossy dont want to hear bout warm and dry,still 3 feet of snow out the back door
if it meant a good snowpack in the mountains so we would have water this summer cross, I would trade you in a heartbeat!
I want some spring, not this winter stuff. It did make it to 64 yesterday and I got to put the top down on my car.
yes,we count our blessings,water is not an issue here
64 is warmer than we're getting mixi!
okay, someone stop me before I type "taus" in one more time!!!! *tapes figners together*
there we go,i typed it for you
lol
thanks cross! you're a pal! *puts bacon bits on ice cream and serves with a smile*
actually the bay is up 2 metres over 2 years ago,and we hope to be back at normal levels soon(the deep parts of georgian bay used to average 90-110 feet)
I've tried taus several times too.
that's pretty alarming, cross. glacial melt?
at least I am not alone, thanks mixi!
looking for ta5 just before taus....
human interference accounted for the drop over last ten years we want more stid,not less
oh! those dumb humans!
we can now get the new dutch cruise ships in dock once again;0
joy. dutch cruise ships. I think they're scary. like floating death wishes.
duh, found it.
maybe it's my rugged "American-ness" but cramming lots of people together like that it un-nerving. Cities affect me the same way.
they have a comparatively shallow draft as opposed to those disney bohemouths
hmmm... ta 5...
got it! tahnks mixi!
i have a phobia of cities myself stid,melting pot my arse,a overflowing outhouse is what it is
I will have to stop here for a while ... can't do wordsplay and this at same time! Trying to chat in both arenas ... too stressful! lol Thx for tips, all ... I'm sure I will return! Have a good one!
yep. all crammed in, no space to breathe.

welcome aboard all new players;))
I have to get used to this
It's nice to have a grid that doesn't end in 3 minutes- gives you time to sink yr teeth in
bacon flavoured lollypop of course!
easy crossy, wordslovers are welcome here ;)
3 minutes?? take me 3 minutes to find the keyboard lol
Babble is like heroin, wordsplay is more like crack
of course (((FM)))
Im a freaky typeA, 3minutes more my speed lol
we found bacon-flavoured lip balm
'rofl
You can tell I work with drug addicts
of course bacon flavored that goes without saying

Still do, occasionally

hello oggy, not in + you can put your keyboard of the computer on delete or in**** for typing
Someone was talking about it in chat...the whole chat room really
might become a real invasion
ty sprite
yvw jmc
I think I mentioned it a bunch of times. In fact I know I did. Let's get Screwch over here.
howdy babble buds!
howdy wordlover
hi ADHD
There has been quite few newbies recently
*links arms with sprite and crossy* we are ready!
hi adhd
hi do
hello adhd
hello all
howdy peri
thought I'd see if this was my style, but I think I might be a little too in need of quick resolution for thin
hi peri
Hi peri!
WELCOME NEWBIES!!
this
hi adhd and peri
tyvm, feel welcome
ah well quick resolution this is not!
some have come and gone even, missing the speed of 3-minute grids
unless you sign on right before the flip
we have lots of new players over from wordsplay,so on the count of 3,i want everyone to rotate their monitors ;))
Ormal, it grows on you. and it's easier to walk away from, for me anyway. The "crack" habit never ends
this is very different, but fun :)
have you tried Scrambe on FB, sprite. the rounds are 3 min
some of us have been switching back and forth
lol crossy!
lol wish I had known about this before I finished college :D
I do miss the rotating board
mine wont rotate crossy :-(
great idea, crossy! *puts ear on shoulder and looks again*
I play scramble on FB -- don't do very well though -- not fast enough
I don't do FB anymore, periwinkle
try a lazy suzan jmc;))
anyone want clues before I leave?
scramble's little window is too small
ok, sprite
FB is the root of all evil
nan, it takes practice, I didn't care for it at first
not for me, thanks though nan
no thanks cyber i am not that serious today
the lust for money, crossy, silly man
well second after count chocula cerial lol
I did FB for about 3 days and that was enough!
I switch back to wordsplay if I finish the grid here, or if I can't commit to the grid. But I really needed to slow my wordsplay habit
but then the monitor just turns away from me crossy :-(
last lu4?
ok -- have a great day everyone - back at the flip :)
thanks nan, but I need so many that I couldn't begin to ask
BTW -- I think scramble also uses enable
ADHD: ends like the famous hotel
no no it is the love of money sprite
i did fb for 2 days fm,then it took 3 more days to flush it from my system
bye nan
bye cyber
what is scramble? besides what I do just before the flip when I'm nowhere near finished!
ah always mixing them up, lust and love... thanks jmc :D
I don't do fb games. no farmland, no scrabble- it would kill me.
that is monkeying, ADHD
tx nan
That was good going crossy, took me a couple of months to clear all the 'junk'
Did I mention that my professional area of work is addictions?
i can see your confusion sprite
what are fb games?
for me they are more of a hobby, Kaplan
lol kaplan
face book games
not to worry kaplan,i am not addicted to babble,i have quit many,many times
the only fb game i play regularly is lexulous which is the exact opposite of wordplay and babble.
I like combining them, personally, jmc
I play maybe one word a day
sprite still cant get it.
i like Words with Friends on my ipod
Tallulah Bankhead said" Cocain is not addictive. I should know--I've been using it all my life."
good combo sprite I was lucky enough to combine them myself
haven't played any fb games... yet
oggy: not in + put a letter into a word is to in**** a letter
Repeat after me *Babble is not addictive, babble is not addictive*
I play lex on facebook with a couple of my friends because our time zones are so far apart
we are lucky women, jmc
babble,single malt scotch and fig newtons...kaplan..i think i have a fig newton problem!! lol
which single malt, crossy?
I can quit any time I want to.
i asked a friend of mine about cocaine and its attractions and he said"cocaine makes a new man out of you" and i said"ok,but what if your already an arsehole?"
I quit every time I am done. Easy.
the very rare limited glenfidditch
sprite, got it thanks just could not see that.
lol crossy
It means nothing that I have closed my door at work to type here
30 years old....
crossy, have you tried Seagrams black label gin. my niece bought it for my bd. I thought she was buying the black label vodka. the gin is pretty good tho
oggy, I know the feeling! You're very welcome
I like cragganmore
lol Kaplan
i dont do gin,but if you have any black label vidka leftover,just whistle
I might come back later. Today is the last sunny day before it snows all week, so I might get some air between clients
fireworks
lol Tallulah!
enjoy Kaplan, and gratz oggy
Congrats oggy
congrats oggy
wait,what about my fig newton problem?

i can see the words are burning in you!
a cat with pica?
*when the tr5/12 to8/45 the tu6/21, we need la5/12 to bring us some al4/4*
what is pica?
people who eat things non-nutritive, like metal, dirt, chalk, you get the picture
a licking disease?
mmm just what i need,a cat with an obsession
ah, another eating disorder. Cool. haven't tried that one yet.
pica is very common in pregnant women
ive heard of the hair eating in the ladies
Lol Sprite.
sigh sprite i dont think i have any of those words! lol
I liked to lick my love in those days... but he is edible. Very.
you will, jmc!
[blush]

ty fuzz
afternoon, all
howdy (again) babble buds! hi jes and crossie and... do I see newbies? Welcome Newbies!
howdy jes,quick question for you..ever hear of a cat that likes to lick baseboard heaters?
oh yeah, crossies cat with pica
not specifically, crossy, but doesn't really surprise me. cats are crazy, afterall ;)
indeed
i had a cat that liked to eat onions, another popcorn
make sure he can't burn himself, and isn't getting to any wires.
he justs sits there and licks on and on,drives you nuts
nope,no wires
my cats have only played in the baseboards when there was a mouse running back and forth in them.
mine does that to my daughters stuffed polar bear!
try smearing something nasty tasting on them?
lol then when they heat up,whole house would stink
poor polar bears tail is yellow
not necessarily. use underarm deodorant or something
vinegar-soaked cotton balls on a saucer
tastes REALLY bitter, but doesn't smell strong
haha jes is trying to sabotage your house cross
lol
yup. hoping i can drive them clear out of canadia and into the states ;)
what if i give the cat a tongue ring,will keep him busy and he will leave the heaters alone lol
only until he snagged it on something and pulled it out, leaving a big bloody mess all over everything in his panic.
mm bad idea...
you might want to start with ear piercing, see how that works
got it,what if i smeared the cat in grape jelly,he will be cleaning himself for weeks;)
lol
probably leave sticky purple stuff all over your furniture in the meantime.
mm bad idea...
but easier to explain than the screaming and blood, i suppose ;)
cat nip flavored lolly pops?
crumble has started to lick one of the paving slabs in the back garden, I find it quite disturbing!
cat nip on whatever you do want the cat to chew on/play with
yeah that's it... keep him stoned
lol,our drug store has a actual compounding lab,so i can get anything put into lollys or freezies
one of our kitties used to run wildly in circles with just a hint of catnip
it was hysterical.. chasing her tail like a dog
good afternoon everyone. Anyone have the le 7?
er
cats - at least they are small - try a greyhound with a licking fetish
if you have a cat post you want to distract him to, it's actually a good thing to do. make a catnip tea, let it cool, and spray it on the post
le7 - favoured by ballet dancers
wow... cattnip teaspray... what a great idea
my kids used to lay mint flavored gum wrappers on the floor to watch the cats go crazy!
ty lynxxx
great idea that katnip tea!!
is good for you too, nice mild sedative :)
we had to stop out other cat,was going after the inside of our sons winter boots(we had put mint foot powder in them)
all you saw was a tail sticking out of the boot and the cat was trying to lick the foot poweder
Os obliterated
morning/afternoon all...just passing thru (lunch time)...
...and just hit NBT! :)
hi Pini
How's everyone?
i have obliterated nothing! still have 95 words left. good job, adhd :)
Hi lynxxx ;)
well done, ADHD
57 left here
112 left here...
dont know what it costs down there jes,but kitty creamation with the ashes back in a little wooden box costs buku buxs;(
any hints for the 8 (and then back to work)
don't have it yet. sry pini
don't be sorry, ADHD...we'll get it! :)
to8 we have ways to make you talk
thx lynxxx! :)
sl/pl even! :)
hot lights???
tx got it
okay, anyone need a clue for the to8? I've got it now
to7(8) would be a PB without cabana boys! LOL
...and now I must head back to work...tell everyone I said HOWDY! See y'all l8r! Have a good one! :)
lol
a clue for la/6 18 pls
I think the place we go through, crossy, would be about $135 for a cat
cost 200 here
root language with double cross ltr la6/18
and then you can get some REALLY fancy urns (up to another couple hundred dollars for the big, cat-shaped, "aged" metal ones)
would of been 75 for communal one but wife wanted her kitty home
well i was prepared to bring a zip lock baggie and buy a nice vase lol
but wife gave me "the look"
we give our kitties a burial; we're in the country
i'm stuck on RO4/4 (after actor's portrayal) and please don't slap me too hard with that fish
ro + la ** da, adhd
*ducking fish* tx les
hey cross, is there a way to get my reader to display the time in the lower right corner, where there is nothing displaying currently? (right after page number in the bar across the bottom of the screen)
as far as i know jes,the sony line of reader cannot to time display..but i have not read the entire manual,so i may be wrong in this
meh. then what's the point of having set the date and time during set up? silliness, i say!
and on that, must away to work for a few minutes
later jes
bye Jes
ill look into it jes
Ss sent packin'
is the ul6 related to the 5?
yes

OH

sry opposite of in + horse walk
I joined Facebook several days ago Some babblers became my friends. Now what do i do? I cannot get back in
thanks ADHD!
i could use es7
inge, there should be a "forgot your password?" link on the front page
es8 is ess 6 with an extra vowel in 5thplace
es7 es + opposite of false is ***e + if you finish the grid you will **ways get fireworks
and what inge said
I know my password. It did not take me to my page
ah i typed all around it. thanks.
it should take you to your news feed, inge
if you want your page, click "profile"
will try again
off to get prepping supper. later babble buds
bye adhd have fun
hey Ormal, how many u got left? struggling, 47 left
good afternoon evening morning babblers!
i am stumbling toward the end, no 5/12 and ou 5/12 left
hey red
hola red!
good job leslie, I was out all day and have 92 left.
Hi lady.
still have 43 left
(i can clue any but those two, though!)
no list yet. too early.
but thanks a lot leslie!
'I keep leaving my work to check the board to see if anything 'jumps' out at me lol
1st ou 7/32 please?
ou 4/5 + stationary is in***
looks like a nonsense word
Leslie I have the ou 5/12 one: go british
thanks Leslie!
ouao
lol oso I'm needing to start dinner soon, not really seeing anything jumping out at me anymore
me neither sigh
'will b gone all day 2mrw so wont b able 2 play
sorry o
You know, while NBC's coverage of the game has been questionable, I have tp say I have enjoyed the people who call the cross country racing....
goin 2 c Jerry Springer in the am
oh my goodness last word was so easy. fireworks1
way to go leslie!
congrats Leslie Ann!
for real Jerry Springer? too funny
me too Red....they really get excited, don't they? I agree about NBC's coverage. So much is same day tape delayed...I don't get it when so much could be shown live
'he moved his show right near me lol
NPR did a piece on it, saying that NBC is continuing to do what they always did when we have changed so much in how we consume media....
I think alos that it isnt generally the Americans winning, that the X country excitement seems very genuine!
I guess I could watch events live online but how the heck would I babble then?
that would not work too well lady.
and then some 7 hours of curling yesterday.....
curlilng to me is like watching paint try, however my significant other enjoys it why, I don't know
*dry
I find it fun to watch for a few minutes...
this year I am more interested in Ice dancing more than before.
we love hockey - both men's and women's we got hooked going to Providence College games there's actually a gal who played for PC that is on the national team she has even scored a couple of goals
I like hockey, but have barely seen any during the plympics.
we watch the game last night although it started at 7:45, I was nodding off by the end of the game I only woke up when Rod started screaming when the US won
somehow I missed it all...
and now this grid is somehow difficult to me, but I think its really average difficulty..
I haven't been playing all that long but so far have never gotten even close to fireworks but I do enjoy the challenge each day
oooh Hockey is on USA channel right now USA vs sweeden, ladies.
thanks for the head's up will take a break and watch until supper is ready talk to you later
bye!
15 left here
wow peri...
hi Babblers - can i get a clue for the es6/18, pls
as 6/18, but change the first vowel
don't have the as6/18 :(
"of the stars"
thx Une - my monkey's took the day off!!
weeee! fireworks!!
how dare they! LOL
yay, peri!
bye for now
actually they are on strike - want more money
pushy little buggers!
offered bananas, they just screeched
picky picky picky
you've obviously spoiled them rotten!
they planning to form a union - will present demands later
*they're
sounds scary -- don't let 'em talk to MY monkeys!
well, they have requested internet time
ohnooooooooo
hello all
hi stid
monkey unions, yes!!! *wicked monkey-mama grin*
<<<<<<<bo's monkey!
cute, Une
:-D
congrats on the daffodil, stid -- none yet chez moi BUT I do have lots of amaryllis buds and clivia buds INSIDE
i won't surrender to their demands - you give an inch, then it's this, then that - there will be no end to it! i say no - "let them eat cake!"
banana cake?
I am eating some chicken soup, after spending some time outside. Tom made me go work in the garden when I broke down in tears, despairing over my recalcitrant paper-writing monkeys.
aawww, stiddy :-(
:(
SOMETHING ate my species tulips that were by the front door. I am devastated. They were a lovely dark pink, very pretty. And now very eaten down to the bulbs. They won't recover.
bunnies? chipmunks?
so sorry -- very very infuriating
I am not being unproductive, just so much to do this week that I don't know which end is up.
take a deep breath . . .
I think deer or bunnies. It doesn't look like slug damage -- it happened so fast. But it could be slugs -- a warm winter and I didn't get slug deterrant out yet.
*breathing*
then consult bo's monkeys -- they're obviously quite ingenious
i'm hoping our extremely cold winter has zapped some bugs!
that would be a very positive UP side to the inconvenience, wouldn't it, Une?
okay, gotta call a classmate back. back in a few...
yes!!!
later, stid
taking a break as well -- back in a mo . . .
ri
hey gail!
Ooops, hi. Wild monkeys.
okay, down to 70. I think I will list.
am certain I entered some of these before!
there we go! crossys miracle meatloaf is in da oven!!
Oooh, I made a fabulous meatloaf the other night. Just had a cold sandwich.
hey cross! can't be any lovelier than the excellent casserole my tom made us last night -- wheat-free, cow-free, allergy-free and it tasted SOOOOO good.
*curious mama look* besides bacon, what do you put in your meatloaf?
lol what was left to put in it? lol
ok stid,my famoise recipie...
I put some bacon in mine. And I thought that Crossy would be proud.
cashews, roasted peppers, "spices" and wheat-free noodles. maybe some tahini.
2 pounds of lean hamburger,2 eggs,splash of milk,pepper,1 package of stovetop stuffing(regular or cornbread)3 slices of bacon.....beat 2 eggs with splash of milk,add to hamburger along with stuffing and dash of pepper,mix well and put in bread pan,brush favorite bbq sauce or hp sauce on top and lay 3 slices of bacon on top,bake for 45 min-1 hr at 350 degrees or untill loaf pulls slightly away from pan
Hey all. stid I want to come and eat that casserole
does sound lovely. I could cope with the eggs and the bacon and pepper... LOL I was right about the bacon!
hey red!
I'm a tahini fan....of course, I am also a meat loaf fan...
sorry to interrupt cooking yummies, but I needthe first ou 7, the one before the horse pace
I just like food. but there is less and less of it that I can tolerate. So I am getting close to my high-school weight...

that casserole sounds really tasty.

hiya
Hey Lynxx, and kje.
kje yo umissed some gooood sushi.
hi kje
hey kje!
TEN to go!
red.... you are missing some good dinner
BBL - 10 to go here too
I believe you, since I am having leftover tempeh.
five...
later lynxxx!
here... this is what I made... awesome!
http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/inv oke.cfm?label=snapper-and-spiced-crab- with-lime-coriander-broth
Ooooh, sounds very very much better...
the recipe looks complicated, but is really quite simple... less than 30 minutes start to finish
veggies with it?
mmmm. sounds nice kje!
two...
I steamed some spinach in the broth, and also have asian slaw left over from the other night
one!!!
goooo stid!
holds breath...
good stuff kje what makes asian slaw asian?
omg. a fishy fireword!
rice vinegar, dark sesame oil, peanuts
yayayayayay stid!!!!!!!!!!!
Oooh. I am missing an excellent dinner.
Congratulations Speedy Stiddy.
mmmm. vinegar, sesame.... PEANUTS!!!! *wipes drool off keyboard*
red, try the recipe... truly easy!
so. now that I am done... (thanks for all the help, friends)... I am going to go do battle with the wednesday homework. and then look at the paper again. And then... I want to spend my evening NOT doing schoolwork, since tomorrow I will be gone for the stidkid's bday.
I may have to...currently I am not doing a lot of cooking.
well, except for the grinding of spices for the crab mixture, but since my spice grinder broke, I subbed chinese five spice powder for that anyway
BUT I can clue for about five minutes... if anyone needs it?
I just started a diet, so I either cook, or pout due to sucky food
you will not find me grinding anything!!!
true, kje, I started to jog again, so I will not have to diet entirely.
like i said! I used a tsp of five spice powder and it is delish
stid... do you ever get a night free of studying?
sometimes, kje. but I have been sick so much this quarter (food poisoing, allergic reaction, migraine) that I seem to spend most of my non-sick time just catching up.
I am feeling overwhelmed and ready to QUIT. but I won't quit. they will have to kick me out. *stubborn mama look*
poor stid (((hugs)))
stid you can do it, yes you can!!!!
NO!!! don't quit! you have come too far!!! stick it out
thanks, ladies. This is one of the days I really need support like that.
I am going to accept defeat though and uh, go to Lickety.
trust me, EVERY person who has ever done grad school wanted to quit at some point... tough it out
so. since I CAN, I think I WILL. (Lickety is not defeat, it's "using your resources" -- smart move!)
*tough mama look* maybe I need sarjent stripes? a marine hat? like the guy from gomer pyle...
no, not sure you want to be known as the gomer on campus - LOL
why must we spell things sargeant, and lieutenant, and such? I shall have a horrible time teaching things like that to my students, I am sure.
no, not gomer = me, Sgt = me! *stands at attention* see?
and then the english say "left-enant" which is even more confusing. LOL
how about stud? short for student? stid the grad stud!
rofl.... that is TOO funny kje!
*trying to look studly for the camera*
ah, my fun time is up. *sigh* thanks for lifting my spirits. I am going to plow/plough through the rest of this research study and then take one more look at my paper for today.
man, i don't want these bites to end... I think I may have to drink all the broth
And I will stop schoolwork at 6.
((hugs)) thanks again. *poof*
stid, I think you just have to stay away from the military!
hagn, stid! hang in there! we will all party when you are done!
Oh man, I just flipped channels, to a prostate reducing commercial in Spanish, sort of like Sabado Gigante but about the prostate....
LOL
hate hate hate direct to consumer advertising of drugs
well, it isnt a drug they are selling, its some sort of supplement, that either does nothing, or kills you.
aaahhhh, a little darwinian advancement
helps weed out the not so fittest then
feather are ewe here????
weed is here? hmmm... *getting out the round up*
I am checking? she was here last night and I hoped we tempted her back...
ah, shucks, i missed her then
clue for to seven?
Oh tomorro is IHOPs free pancake day, you get a free stack and can make a donation for charity...
red, i am on day 6 of south beach... no pancakes for me
sorry kje.
me too
but it must be done
May I please have a clue for to7-32? Thanks
water boarding is a form of to7
can someone explain the shorthand here? to7-32?
I'm a newbie
7 letter word that starts with to and is worth 32 points
welcome dalia! glad to have you! read the help section above the chat box
thanks!
Welcome dalia.
when you get stuck, there is a handy hint list called "lickety's babble clues" in a link under the grid
Thanks, kje, still working on it.
we guarantee you will get hooked.... it is a horribly addicting game with nice people
gap - to7 - pulling off finger nails to get information
Many thanks, kje.
yw
OK, but I still don't get how you know how many points a word you don't yet have is going to get. I see, for ex, that I have 15/18 "T" words, and 3/7 "7-letter" words. But how do I know that I need a word starting with "to" that'll be worth 32 points? (Sorry for the long question...)
aaaaahhhh - because of lickety's babble clues
useing licketys list.
ahhh. I see.
kje is better at explaining this stuff..
when people are asking for specific clues, they are using one of the hint lists
thank you, kje and redt
I want something nice and chocolaty.
today I am full of food wants!
red, you are evil
I try to be like Doofenschmirtz of Phineas and Ferb!
uuuuhhhhhh, ok
I forget kje that you are lacking a tv.
I just evicted the E's...
i am also lacking a tu6... any clues?
Dalia, are you going alright?
Hello everybody. Red I have a TV and still don't understand what the heck you just said! :-)
kje, my screen name is a clue for that.
Yeah--I think I'll skip the clues, though...seems kinda like cheating. =)
Ditto Red ;) I thought it was an Americanism
yes, she says that NOW! wait until she only has a few left and is beating her head against the wall - LOL
I watch some childrens cartoons. Phineas and Ferb is my latest love.
DCSeain also likes it so you know it isnt horrid.
oh, damn, fish
Dalia...to finisht he clues arent cheating at all... I wait until I have only a few left.
LOL red.... who says dc seain has better taste than you?
hi dalia, For newbies, I've found that AngelSong's Babble Page is very helpful (also down under the tile stats grid)
I've been stuck with 46 left for a while now, so I see your point
lardor
I'm pretty sure he is more refined.
oops
wow, you are doing well, dalia!
good job Dalia.
you should know, that there are some words (we call them babblets) that we never see anywhere besides here... that is where the list is really helpful
I find kids' cartoons are often funnier than a lot of adult shows. Kids' TV in general, in fact. Look at the muppets!
thx, I didn't know that was good!
evening all!
Phineas and Ferb are very entertaining.
Hello Dan2
hey dan! how is life in the cold north?
i use to love the animaniacs
rainy - but that's good for the snow piles!
true... can wash them away now thatthey are all gray and dirty
I can't get over how blase Americans are about snow. When we got some here, we were out playing in it every day..out in the street with total strangers! It's maaagical here in Blighty.
oh no, my upstairs roomie stirs
ours
can I have help with the in 6? please?
never mind
ooops! Sorry guys, off to PB I go! (Hope it has choclit tonight!)
clue it red, i don't have it yet
ok, in plus we need **** reform to help with the insurance problems in health care, yes kje?
Nancy, here in MN we have snow for about 4 months or more. It grows on you when you need to keep shoveling it every day
hello all
I suppose four months may take the charm away a little...I guess you're ready for snow, though? In England, a few inches makes the whole country grind to a halt.
to4 is not th ereal issue.... but yes, we need health care reform! ; )
hi TO
well, you got the clue right?
hi kje
Minnesotans are ready for snow. Right now my driveway is down to the width of 1 car (should be wide enough for 2) and the sides are piled about 4 1/2 feet high
yes, TY!!!
Hi to
if the government is going to manage health care reform, it'll never work!! they've never managed anything and done it even close to right
only giving a clue bo, not starting a coversation...
sorry! :( the government is not my favorite people right now
hi TO
It's okay, Bo...you could live under the English government, and then you'd be in real trouble :/
on the other hand, NB - when it snows in south carolina the people go out in and have a ball - even a snowball
L's are lassoed...
Go red!
I don't know how to vote, here. Ostensibly you have lots of choice, but really it's a two horse race between Tory and Labour. Both are slightly different types of s**t. 'Scuse me.
*sniff sniff* Uh oh. I smell political discussion. *dives back down rabbit hole*
clue for no 5 12??
It's pretty much the same here, NB. Dems and Republicans are both sore if they aren't in the majority in the House and Senate
oh never mind...
directionally challenged.
LOL, red!
red - you need direction :)
LOL
Frustrates me so much, Nef! A vote for anyone else is a vote thrown away.
I am frustrated tha tit is raining....ruins my last day off if it continues.
ru5?
well, I've always found that if you don't get involved and you don't vote, you have absolutely No Say in any of it. To me (at least), if you don't vote you shouldn't complain about politics

Well done Jellen!
huzzah for jellen!
Have you been looking for one for a while?
not really.
but I do want another dog
and they are one of my favorite breeds
I didn't know that you did. Do you think Diggity will be OK with that?
yes.
very
That may actually be a GREAT idea for him! You will be working more but are close enough to let them out for breaks.
I wish I had two dogs...we tried once, but it didn't work out...
Do dogs generally do better in pairs?
i have two dogs. Two dogs = 4 times the amount of dog hair
yes. they are naturally pack animals. As long as one takes the alpha role, and one takes the beta
They are pack animals by nature, aren't they?
OK...I am coming around to this idea! Tell me more! How old is joey?
snap woof, jellen!
LOL!
12 weeks when they listed him, but I dont know how old he is now.
aser
Will you need to go pick him up?
{{{Road trip!}}}
The problem we had was we got my Molly a puppy who grew older and wanted to be the alpha...
I suppose so, yes, or meet halfway. Tori has been barking up tris's ass about visiting, so we could kill two birds, as it were

hi krise, dan
just found a genuine fish in the grid
Just looked at my clock....thought it was almost 11!
Hello dan2bit!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
ty min i'm well
and you?
OK all! I am going to hit the hay! Have a great evening everyone! Trif...give me a call tomorrow!
g'nite eeyore
Goodbye KrisE!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
Goodbye car.eeyore! I'll see you tomorrow in the log!
Thanks for thinking of me, Kris! And Min!
Hi Min - I'm still here, working away, with 57 to go. Mostly lurking tho - I apologize
goodnight car - sorry - was moving upstairs on the laptop
Hi kids
Hi Scrabbler - how's tricks?
I am exhausted but am watching the Olympics and can sleep in tomorrow anyway.
hi, scrabbler
Hi Scrabbler! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
Hi welki + Min
are you exhausted from watching the Olympics? :)
I am exhausted from not sleeping well last night, working all day, then going for routine dental cleaning and now finally being at home
welki--your girls just got a shut out vs Finland
Hi again...
ah - short night, long day. Glad you can sleep in!
hi Jellen
Hi Jellen
hi Scrabs. SOunds like a long day on poor sleep
Hi Nef. Ugh, how I dislike a rotten night of sleep!
Me too, Scrabbler!
me too. I had a full clinic last Friday and didn't sleep more than 2 hours before (up sick; possibly something I ate at bedtime)
I was falling asleep just fine then woke up, stayed up for an hour, fell asleep for 4 hrs then that was all she wrote
Ugh! I hope you can sleep well tonight!
When I have bad nights, I toss and turn, never fully asleep, never fully awake...I get up exhausted!
I often struggle with sleep on Sunday nights as I review the weekend and ponder the upcoming week.
Is it the weekend or the upcoming week that keeps you up?
i wish i knew how the rabbit gnawed electric cords w/out getting shocked. sigh. brb
LOL! You could offer to work on call every Sunday night if you're going to be up then anyway! ;-)
May I please have a clue for st6-21? Thanks
Both keep my brain revved up.
seain, was the rabbit smart enough to stand on rubber when chewing?
Seain, I have 4 floor lamps, non-functional, in my basement, each with chewed cords. And I have a draw with 3 alarm clocks with chewed cords
It's hard to turn off the brain sometimes.
GA, st 6 is st +ra4/5
Hi, peach
I am on call this coming weekend so I was pondering that...dentist appt tonight, MD appts next 2 days...too much going on
Hi gapeach
Thanks, Nef.
Hi there, Jellen and Scrabbler.
busy times - worry? or "doing ahead" or just pondering?
I am a planner. I like predictability and no uncertainty. So these appts + upcoming weekend on call are disruptions to my usual schedule.
so you're organizing things in your head...:)
I can understand that, Scrabbler...
Yep, I visualize my schedule.."OK, Monday, after work go to dentist; Tuesday do this errand then go to MD...."
Hey all,monkeyed my way down to my last 2 but an exhausted & brain dead.Would one of you kind souls please give me idiot proof clues for HA5/12 ( first one) and the TI7 ?
Somebody help Pugmama!

bless you jellen!
ti7= ti* (breast) + reg**** or unleaded gasoline
ti7 is a booby + reg**** or decaf
ti 7

Hi, gremlinn!
CNBC has curling, which I find so fascinating
Hey Jellen.
I'm being girly and watching ice dancing...
I am not into figure skating.
funny clue gremlinn
my dear Met sent me a bunch of DVD's but too tired to even watch them tonight but at least finished the grid with the help of my Babble Buds!!!
Thanks KrisE - couldn't resist.
Happy Babbling All!!! Le Poof!
Bye, pugmama
BRB, I need a snack
scrabbs, have you bought any of that plastic ridged conduit stuff to put around your cords? They hate that stuff and don't chew it.
I usually don't like figure skating, but it has appealed to me this year for some reason...
are the ladies impressive? The men didn't do it for me
This is actually the ice dancing, couples
I'm watching the ice dancing and am really impressed this time around
dcseain, did you know your name is scrambled "candies"?
hubby is watching men of a certain age...no dancing for me
Seain, I do have cable + cord covers now.
i'm sorry gremlinn? I don't get what you're saying
oh, candies, not candles LOL yes, i do see :)
Did you notice that "dcseain" is an anagram of "candies"?
dcseain anagram = candies, is what she is saying
and no, i'd not noticed
what's the deal with the tile stats?
It tells you how many words (and of those, how many you've found) that start on each tile.
They are info for us, Ormal. Read "Help" above, and below the Tile Stats read Lickety + Angelsong pages
thank you
If a word can start on multiple tiles, preference is given to the tile in the highest row, and in a given row, the lowest column number.
*sets out a tray of rum and cokes*
Oh, gave up coke for Lent...
*offering my jar of salted, roasted peanuts*
*aahh...lovely...thanks!*
Jellen: there's still the Pepsi loophole.
Actually, gave up sodas...
But I held on to my sweet tea!
have some herbal tea then (offers up some Good Earth decaff)
Gotta keep that caffeine coming in from somewhere!
Drops in to say Hi People!
Sounds good, Nef!
Hi, red!
Hi Red!
*offers organic roibus earl gray tea, brewed*
I can offer water....from the tap.
Don't tell us you are up again, red! I thought you went to bed over an hour ago1
*now thirsty after eating salted, roasted peanuts*

I'll have to see them after midnight
are you still snowed in seain?
no, there's still piles waist-deep to over-my-head deep, but it's been melting, and it's raining today/tonight
no sean is not........or else he lives far away from me. melting every day and it is getting yukky to look at as it gets dirtier.
oh good hope the rain washes it all away
slower melt better, as less flooding
we're set for rain and snow and sleet and who knows what
where the plows plowed, the piles are over six feet.
westford that would be bad.......it should melt very slowly so we dont have overflowed sewers and roads.
we have had many a flooded basement from snow melting slowly
ah, on thursday? weather here said thur/fri we'd have wind due to New England storm
ta 6 24 please?
friends here only get flooded basement with fast melt

hi Nan! I have 69 left..is it worth it?
is what worth it?
Pav, was that the answer to my question? 44?
I'm having connectivity issues...tried to donwload a file from work and it stopped 90% through..

what are the 7's again?
Thanks, Pav

2nd ou 7: not in + fast walk
ti 7: leader in name only ( ti 7 head)
to 7: uses the water board, or the rack, thumbscrew, etc.
just the in7 elludes me
