tons of actual words! LOL
my favorite kind of grid actually
g/dtr is having heaps of fun finding words for me, she likes these kinda grids
cool, grannie!
I find it helps with her spelling as she is a bit below par
I thought Lickety had posted his list -- was I dreaming?
i used to LOVE words games with my grandmother ;-)

what is wrong with regular link?
what is the regular link?
http://babblersanonymous.yuku.com/topi c/554/t/Stats-Feb-24-2010.html In Babblers Anonymous
babbler's anonymous below and http://babblersanonymous.yuku.com/topi c/554/t/Stats-Feb-24-2010.html
lol jili jinx
that's what I tried Dee, unsuccessfully
but whenI went to BabAnon I just got stid's Feb 23 stats
close and go out again... bj's are now above stid's
right, no in BabAnon
oh, thanks Dee, will try again
ah, that's the trick, I guess, dee
if that doesn't work, I'll either email them to you or post them in my profile
that site is funky sometimes and I have had to go out and in several times; I think the video on it also goofs things up
have gone out and back in 3 times, no luck
which is easier Dee?
do you have an email address in your profile?
will put it in now
ok, it's there
hang on just a sec...
hello everyone I managed to get to 230 without looking at the chat or at a list
wow west, good for you
I came in to say hello just in time to see BJ's list link posted
thanks flosey but it was too lonely
it would be west, but such success
only had 5 to go on yesterday's and just dove riht in after seeing how big it was
oh if klutziness was a paid job, I'd be rich!
right*
hi west!!!
flosey on its way
oh no ormal what did you do?
hi dee !!
thankyou Dee, you're swell
I have a squirrel story
forgot I had teawater boiling, got up quickly, smashed knee into giant plug that I ripped out of the wall, tripped over the cord...
husband was bringing in the trash cans and thought he heard a noise coming from the car which was parked in the driveway
oh dear ormal you'd better just sit and rest
do you have your tea?
sorry -- I was rewatching Joannie Rochette
no its steeping tho.
so what happened with the squirrel?
that will relax you
what's your kitty's name?
west -- you're amazing
oh lol to continue he went over to the car and saw a little squirrel head peeking out of the grill
ty west. Salem - He came pre-named.
he opened the hood and there it was building a nice little nest
great name he must be a familiar
so glad you got them flosey; glad to help. By the way, I kept your email address... I might even say, "Hi!" occasionally.
too funny, right in the car engine!
well, he chased it out and got rid of the sticks and straw
at 244... and slooooowing down here
good thing he could see it, west. I had a mouse make a nest in the air system -- totally invisible, but not unsmellable, yk.
if he hadn't been retrieving the trash cans ...
I only have 137 words :(
Have them now, thankyou Dee, I owe you
no problem; any time
a few months ago he was driving and the car just about stopped dead in the road..took it to the dealer and all the wires had been chewed
sheesh!
oops timer went off, gotta got wash dye out. Will read rest of story later. :D
they were able to repair it to the tune of $450 if they had had to replace would have cost $1700
here's my question how do we keep them out of there?
wonder if you could use dcon... or something used for other rodents
get a dog to chase them away?
the cats do a pretty good job when they're out there
jili's idea might be kinder
I know lots of critters don't like moth balls but that might not be good for us
I hate rodents... sorry... and the squirrels around here tear up the birdfeeders; eat all the food; wreck the gardens, flowers, etc...
d-con might be good dee
as long as the cats don't get into it
good question jili...don't know if they do or not
if we cleaned out the garage we could put the car in there
good luck with that
I don't mind them when they mind their own business but when they cost us money I'm not happy
agreed
my hubby won't clean his garage, but he rearranges my freezer and my cupboards... grrr
we have all the summer furniture in there only a one car garage
we need a shed
lol west, I've been telling hubby we need a barn or at least a shed, for past 15 years
or I could get busy and clean the basement and we could store the stuff down there
that would make things tight; my hubby bought our daughter covers for her furniture from a catalog... Preferred Living or Frontgate, and she leaves it outside
you could have a barn raising flosey we'll all come help
as a result, no room in the garage for cars
and you have pretty harsh winters don't you dee?
so far the furniture looks great (2nd year of being outside)
wouldn't that be fun, west, what a great idea
she just brings in her cushions
the men can build and the ladies can babble
lol
Indiana winters can be gruesome; ours has been mild this year, but hers in Indy has been nasty
we have some beautiful wrought iron furniture that the 'ladies' left got new cushions and we sanded and painted and I"d hate to have it ruined
she has had a lot more snow than we
she's in Indianapolis then?
I totally understand that... especially after all that effort. Yes.
She absolutely loves it there.
Moved right after college.
I always thought cities got less apparently not this year
how far away is she?
nor last - they have been hammered 2 years in a row...
and Washington DC Baltimore Philadelphia NYC
lol global warming?
can anyone help me here...g/dtr is below par in spelling, she loves helping me with Babble, todays grid has been fantastic for her, does anyone knw of a sight for younger babbler...if you know what I mean
el nino
and Pittsburgh... my brother had over 3 feet of snow
I don't know of one gran but that is such a good idea
thinking gran... hang on a minute...
thx guys/gals
does she like to do crossword puzzles?
we've had kids come here but they tend to misbehave in the chat when unsupervised
they think it's Face Book lol they mostly chat and call each other names
and call us names too
and the teacher is usually oblivious
I need to trade my bacon for a motorcycle
all the babble / boggle type games I have saved are timed at 3 minutes, so fast paced typing. Would she like an "unscramble" type word game?
well, there's Lexulous...
this has an easy choice: http://www.cdkitchen.com/games/scrambl e/
west, not qite that advanced yet, I have been giving her extra tuition in spelling and reading and she lurvs helping me on these kinda babble grids with so many easy words
this has a children's section, too: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/cgi-bin/to p_scores.pl?game=multipopword
boogle is timed an no good
it all helps and it's nice you can spend the time together
m's, y's, w's done... now on to u's

hi granny
WTG granny
good for you granny
hey westy, jilli, ruru,flosey,ruby
thought you li5 the boots, granny
must have been the trip to Taz that did it
jilli, in 30+ heat, they are NOT my choice of footwear.
ah, tassie, what a place!
I know you enjoyed it
oh, of course -- it's hot down there
was that your first time there?
and if one more person comments on my boots at work, i'll throw them at them. ( after i eventually get them off )
maybe you should get them to autograph them
not really what i would call hot, very warm, and didn't cool all that much overnight, either
now there's a thought!!!! with white-out pen, or should i splash out and get, say, a gold one?
oh yes go for the glitter
(and spikes.. then they'll take you seriously)
westy, i was in tassie nearly 40 years ago, things sure have changed a tad. RIGHT!!! going for gold, ooooh, how about a red glitter pen! they do say red goes faster, and heaven knows, i sure need some speeding up.
* giggle * ruru, can you imagine the flooring after i had been thru?
volcano alert
* sigh * thanx ruru, always seem to miss it
grannyrose, been to Tassie once, dtr lives in Devonport now and I visited last May/June,luverly place, far cry from sthwest Sydney NSW
so long as there aren't any hawaiian geese!!!!!
a's kaput
it sure is diz. already planning our next trip over
me too
cool
yay dee
i'm bogged in the d's
some pretty twisty words
haven't hit those hard yet... on the c's...
How many words today please
377
huge!
Thanks
nalo
I'm back
welcome back; c's done
saw what you wrote about being there 40 years ago rose I'm sure it is very different
thanks dee I don't have anything finished especially the k's
I'm off to bed, goodnight all
but i have to say this. taswegians sure know how pt preserve their historic buildings, never seen so many !!!!!
see you later, flosey
nite flosey, sleep well
good night flosey let us know when you want to start that barn
night flosey and congrats on your big bridge win last night!
nite flosey
taswegians love it
hate k's and not even half on those yet
west, I like your motorcycle :)
wondered what they were called
anyone got all 6 da6's?
thanks jilli that's all I want
I have 2 reckon that's not all of them
that would suit me just fine too, west
I have 5 granny
there are 17 K words
um..not quite, westy
I have 6
I don't know 17 k words
share, pls, jilli
I have 3 now
LOL, westy
I bet I don't know 377 of these words
I have 2 ke4, 2 ki4, 2 ki5 -- none peculiar
just got another ki4 and its extension to ki6 (think scot)
missing one... I have da 6/33 x 4; da 6/39... but for the life of me cannot find the da 6/21...
just dropping by to note that Enable and Babble seem to not be as interactive as I thought. Enable says -- this is yesterday's grid -- that PERP and PERPS are acceptable, but Babble said not. Is this kind of exception unusual and if not, is there anything to be done?
not unusual, nothing to be done
da6.21 the guy that moves quickly
Hello all
and finishes grids quickly too
duh and bless you
hello lyn
it's morewords that says perp is ok, enable says no -- but there may be a newer version of enable that Dr_God doesn't use
again I was looking at the wrong d
There is I think because Lickety uses a more recent version
jwr, scroll down my profile to see a list of such words
thanks jilli -- The good thing is that Babble's pleasures outweigh the occasional frustrations (all the words you check on those question marks that have no definitions). And you're right about MoreWords -- again, thanx Jilli -- that was so. MoreWords is my last resort and it generally does the trick.
dee, 4 x da6/33? have 6/39, and 6/21. that means i'm missing a da6/33, does it start the same as the others?
some of the no def words can be found via google
I'll take a look at your list. I should have known one of you would have it. Gotta go back to work for now, though. Have fun with the little one, all.
no, very 1st da is da 6/33... start with da + tina and ... Turner + consonant
ah, thanx dee
yw lucked upon it
still trying to clue da6/33 duh
ty dee
yqw
I can't play any more the words are starting to look weird
does that ever happen to any one? looked at the da words and they all look so funny
know the feeling... this is when I love having lickety... only blank spots are what you need to find... trying to look back and forth makes my eyes and brain go wonky
who invented this language?
whoot, just hit 300! was it good for you too?
I know what you mean, west -- I just wanted to get halfway, but only have 180/197
sweet rose !!
so many d's!
wow rose... similar pace 307 here
you gals are amazing!
granny, you're amazing
dee too
it's hard yakka, ain't it? li4 pulling teeth!
really confusing for Americans.... the Brit spellings make me not be able to spell when I write at home
I'm here to make the rest of you feel good ;)
ae this and ai that
brit spelling is so classy
you always make us feel good jili; you are a delight
as you do, jilli, as you do
sounds like ricky to lucy dee
don't forget the oe words too, lol!
LOL
yeah those, too
I tried this game on granddaughter's computer and couldn't put the list up at the same time it was not good
what on earth is morewords?
brb, need something to sustain me, or numb me, don't care which....
it's our fairy godmother
I think dh is back with groceries. see you a little later
lol I could never finish like that west
is your hair bee oo ti ful ?
morewords.com ormal great tool

I wish, but alas the white is not covered. :(
white is lovely
Thursday my hair will be beautiful
but you made it back here without tripping
saturday I'm getting a perm and not a minute too soon
a's and e's demolished
going to a wedding next Friday

killer k's next
and to think my granddaughter with her naturally wavy hair spends ages straightening it
yes I did make it back w/o tripping :D
always the way jilli
glad to hear it ormal do you have more tea?
I should make some with honey and lemon huh?
that would be good
do you have a cold?
no but it makes me sleepy, and it's 4 am, and I have to get up to get the kids off to school at 6 am.
a catnap would be good.
maybe they'll have a snow day?
k's killed
nah, it'll be okay tho. I have nothing to do all day tomorrow. can sleep during day.
wtg dee!
wtg dee !! sprite would be proud
lol
nice to meet a fellow insomniac
have to be up to wait for the phone guy you know the one that comes some time between 8 and 5 ?
he was supposed to come yesterday so waited all day
need to sleep; having coffee here with 3 friends tomorrow PM, but addict that I am, I can't leave til this is done
isn't it tho? I like meeting others who cannot sleep. I love that guy with the 8-5 hours...grrrr
called after 5 and they said 'oops'
hate that west
amazing that phone guys don't know how to phone to let you know they're not coming
LOL LOL
I know jilli I was thinking of not answering the door
we're downsizing to one line
husband had his own for work but does just about all his talking on his cell phone
we have to have a line to 'talk' to the TV sometimes progress isn't
I can't believe you have to be home for them to downsize. That seems silly.
they shut off the one line from the office and didn't tell us so none of the computers worked
we just got FIOS
beautiful, west!
and it is fast so that's a plus
my brother couldn't get us so he resorted to texting
ok, over halfway -- bed calls!
what is FIOS?
I think mine is calling me too good night jilli and everyone
it's a fiber optic wire that's as fast as gremlinn
cool
you'd think the queen was coming to visit the day we got it
grrr, missing 2 x de6. dee pls help!
I'm just waiting for something to go wrong

wb lady, and rose left you a message I think? About your date?
I will call her tommorrow
Thank you. I just got the best healtheist pizza
cool, enjoy it lady!
Oh man, 377 words and I have that 12 hour commitment that gives me money today...
ouch red... hard decisions!
Red I have to go to bed soon so yes I feel your pain
Sprite the pizza is an Indian bread base very low cals with mushrooms feta panchetta and chicken. And the cat is very intent on getting to it
I would be too, lady
so much fun,
still missing one K :(
I would love to share. It is my reward for not eating bad pizza for 2 weeks now and goin to the gym for yofa
opps yoga
wtg lady!
I was in big denial about how bad pizza was
and I mean eating it every week
yayyyyyy Ks Killed. Now for some babbling ;)
Yah Sprite
Can you please fish me
*hands lady a guppy*
brillant. I missed an obvious
I think we are all bound to today, it is a true biggie
Darn Can I do this in 2 hours?
if you don't chat and all... perhaps
Well that is no fun
no it isn't. Too much like work then :)
I also put allot of spice on this pizza. ANd i forgot to eat anything other than a croissant for breaky.
did I tell you I have already lost 9 pounds since I started Lent, lady? Am so proud of myself.
wow Well done
am amazed, usually it takes months before I even start losing weight. I guess the gods are with me this time :)
That and you seem happier
I guess having something work out really well makes a difference in how I feel. Gives me hope and courage.
Hugs
:) *hugs* right back at ye
I am watching so you think you can Dance Aus and I am bblown away.
Considering the girl dancing was deemed to ugly
sounds awful. Glad she is showing them
It was the Pasodoble. They are not ballroom dancers and the girl Renee has always been rejected for roles because she was too plan. She does have an odd sort of face but then again who cares she is brilliant
I bet she is beautiful in her own way when she dances. People can be so cruel.
She is but she doesn't have it in herself. She is like a wilted flower. She needs love.
well must go. have 195 words to find tonight! eeek
By in her I mean in it herself that she is worthy of being the centre of attention..
grown 'ugly' just because people always treated her like that, perhaps. I hope she will blossom.
travel safe Red
bye red, have a good whatever it is that brings in the money today :)
I can tell you Sprite that one of the girls in my class is pretty and skinny and attractive by the blonde steriotype and deep down she is just ugly and mean
oh yes lady, I know people like that as well. And often that as well is a matter of lack of love and self-love, alas.
my kitty needed a scritch
nice
she is a bit cuddly you should see how Lucius acts when B gets home and if he isn't home by a certain time its meow meow meow I need my daddy
aw they are sweet
Lucius is he is very needed. O dear shouldn't have guts dinner
why not?
because now I feel full.
and now I also seem to ahve got a dot of what ever was on dinner on my classes
and now I also seem to ahve got a dot of what ever was on dinner on my glasses
full is good - too full isn't. here, have a tissue for your glasses and have a good burp to make room ;)
Heheh
but I just cleaned them too
I should go and have a shower, am a bit slow today. I think I will aim for halfway point and then shower.
Hugs Sprite Have a great day
thanks in advance, lol, am not yet halfway. About 15 more words, I think.
O
I have 53 words found
wtg lady!
I need more words
there are many more words for you today ;)
I know but I need time
yeah, that isn't so easy. As a friend of mine always said, we all have 24 hours a day. It is about priorities.
What the hell is it with people and facebook.
?
Ok this little girl is murdered, snatched from her bed and murdered. Now some sicko has gotten a Facebook page with his name on it and cross posted to a RIP Trinity (the little girl that died) page saying I didn't do it. Here is an Idea FB stop the hate right now and ban all the RIP sites for this girl. It isn't going to get any one any were and further more he isn't even pleaded guilty or not guilty
disgusting :( Sweetheart, I have to go, must move my lazy butt under the shower and get a move on myself. Have a great evening and lots of *hugs*.
Hugs honey I am going to get this done
hi herein - you still there?
Hi Bo
how're you?
Full with pizza and yourself?
full with breakfast and staring at all these words - 377 - the biggest puzzle i've seen yet
Bo the biggest I have seen is about 540 plus
only done the M's so far, 20 of the 26. how's your weather, still blistering hot?
Weather not to bad
back, very clean. Hi Bojazz
Hi Sprite
hi sprite - g'day to you
the biggest I remember was 600+
Sprite was that pre list?
yes, in the early days
ok
sprite - the icon in the chat does not match your profile icon, a motorbike ???
Clues are up
yes, an Indian.
thanx for that - need all the help i can get!!
thanks for doing all the work, licketySplit
thanks LIckety
dread
crud soory about that
lol it happens... ;)
and I nearly did it a second time. It happens when you are eating and not paying attention
it's what I li4 about the BabbleExpert. I don't have to worry about that anymore.
nuts I have 2 C words missing
not bad, lady
Hiya everyone!!!!
its very irratating
hi mm
hi movie my man! Family dinner tonight?
Yep, in about an hour or so
cool. Hope you will enjoy yourself very very much.
ty sprite
anyone care to chuck a few 8 word clues in my direction plz?
let me see, don't have many yet. ar8 is of a blood vessel
ma8/65 - has to do with sales
ma8/45 - aliens
sc8 - even less adequate or enough
ma8.70 how you set up something to sell
thx sprite - didn't see that one
yp8 - plural to mustard gas. Ends in special actions performed at ceremonies.
thanks bojazz and lyn for the M clues. Hi lyn!
re8.60 *2 an author doing it again
Ty Sprite. Hello everyone
hi lynxx
ty everyone for those 8s
it's certainly increased my points total somewhat
Hi everyone!
hi Brookie
lol yes movieman
hi Brookie, well, whats happened?
hi Brookie
Hi lynxxx, sprite, bojazz! Mr. Aussie has spent a week with me - we had a wonderful time! Now he's on the 2nd leg of his trip (Kansas City) and will be returning to see me for a few final days this weekend.
He's a very nice man.
oh that sounds exciting! Glad you spent a good time together.
I am so pleased he didn't let us down!
and what did Dad say?
Even if it doesn't work out romantically, we will definitely be very close friends.
Oh, and my parents LOVED him!
wooot even better
lol, he must have been nice
How are you all doing?
He's an absolute sweetheart.
Brookie a friend like that can sometimes work out better
Hi herin, and I agree.
pretty good here, all things considered. Am trying to make this an active day and so far am succeeding.
Excellent, sprite! What do you have planned for the day?
true, and if you will be a romantically involved couple, being able to be good friends too will make your relation so much more wonderful and stable.
I already showered, cleaned up a bit and found ALL K-words, plus enough to get a total of 228 so far in babble. Later on I will make month planners for the rest of the year, clean up some more, walk Te5 and organise the shopping.
Sounds like a great day, sprite. And you found all the K words! I've decided there are only 8 K words, and Babble is lying in its claims of 17 K words.
:D Good decision. The ke7 was a demon to find for me. I had to consult a2z at last.
a2z... where do you access that?
http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/index.htm l is the link
Thanks!
yvw
my rescue when all else fails.
I bet Atalante will know the word, though, without needing any help. It means a variety of the black rhinoceros having the posterior horn equal to or longer than the anterior horn.
Okay, now at 11 K words. Still unconvince of the remaining 6.
*grins*
sigh i really despise society at times
*hugs lady*
Why herin?
movieman: te8: resembling a canvas building
Because a little girl was murdered in Queensland and people are joining RIP groups on Facebook left right and centre and there is some sick perverts out there creating fake profiles and making it a joke
That's really sick.
Can't you report to Facebook administrator right away Infernal?
Yes it is. Facebook is a joke at times. I know that you can't monitor everything but if you want to report someone being abusive you have to join the group then report them. there is no administrator for some groups
Which then begs the question of why doesn't FB shut down all non administered groups. They keep pissing aobut with it and it just gets more abusive
i tried facebook for exactly 2 days and i could not remove it fast enough..took 3 days to remove all traces of it..was a true pain from start to finish
hi crossy
CROSSIE> I have missed you hun
I agree with Crossy
morning sprite;)
howdy herin:)
and to you and mrs crossy!
Cross I hope you and yours are aok
doing as well as can be with a 16 year old in da house;)
hehehe keeps you on your toes, I bet.
Cross do you need another trough to feed him?
oh, quite a lot 'resembling' words!
movie: li8 - books written by highly regarded authors
sigh
i just feed him 2 dinners,one when he gets home and one when the rest of us eat
still on the idiots' FB menace, lady?
The reason i say this crossie is check out Zits commic
re8: he who dresses you again
or to professionally adjust clothing . . . again
that is a better clue. Thanks Une.
and hi
howdy, sprite, herin, crossy :-)
howdy une
:-D
fireflies. I loved this grid. Enough of a bite to make it interesting and still smooth enough to fly through most of it.
congrats, sprite!!!
wow Yah Sprite
yaa for sprite!!
Congrats Sprite!
but 377 is smooth and quick??.im not even sure why im starting lol..your my new hero sprite ;0
sprite's tips on finishing this thing relatively fast: ke7 is a rhinoceros and a helluva word to find; the 'resemble' ending is very rewarding, and look for the other endings because this grid has many.
hi Une
thanks crossy, and yes, but of course relatively speaking ;)
ill worry bout the rhino when im at 376 lol
I will say this much: just when I started to think I was getting used to K-words, this single word convinced me again that my dislike of K-words is mutual.
hi, lynxxx :-)
resemble ending?
mm something to look forward to im sure:/
haha - 164 words down and just noticed i don't have nbt yet!
word meaning to be fond of
good luck PinnyP
HUh
lady: I resemble you = I am **** you
thanks sprite
pinny, i had over 200 words before spotting the volcano! LOL
just lazy playing more than anything else
still no idea Sprite
hah, volcanos lie in waiting. In hiding. Was one of my last words.
OK RIght sheesh
*chuckles* Too complicated thinking, I bet. *hugs* all.
Une, brilliant icon. Ok, *poof* with me.
friend sent it to me last nite :-)
I am slightly disturbed as to how many hands these bar people have. Are they like my ex an octopus
alien appendages?
ok, littlest pup fussing at me to take her out to pee -- BBL :-)
crossy dosent do barsas the most interesting people i have ever met in life have been while i was out and about doing my own insane hobbies
Thinks that if I didn't ahve a completely full belly and a very comfy couch I would have migrated to bed long ago
now that i think of it,that was my wifes fi rst words to me long ago"what the heck are you doing and why?" lol
lol, cross, what *were* you doing?
hello friends! wow, big grid today, but I got NBT without even having to think much....hmmmmm
OMG lookee at that huge grid! hi all
hello gwen!
btw gwen, the poster for the new Dr. has been featured on Photoshop disasters - oh dear!
hi Trif & Gwen
PLEASE do not tell me anything about the new Doctor Who. I like to be surprised 8-)
it's just the poster....
You haven't seen the last show of DT yet Gwen?
We are always a little behind on DW here in the US
forgive my ignorance, but why did DT get the boot? I thought he was great
Good morning! Wow, this is one of the longest grids I've seen here.
get the boot? excuse me, the actor leaves when he's done. I don't believe any of them has ever gotten the boot, so to speak.
I would guess he resigned, I think he's doing a show in the US
Hello and night All.
HERIN! sleep well my lovely friend!
hi Mudd. Goodnight Infernal
oh, okay then. I didn't realize that is how it goes, I guess
Night all. Sorry It is very late
i'm not a tv star but i can imagine it is quite a grueling job, and to do it for 3 or 4 years would be a major strain, even if you love that sort of thing
oh, whenever the pe5, 24 is in the grid I have to chuckle...years ago I was the drama director at a high school, and we did a play about an heiress that was trying to save her fortune, big ol' melodrama, etc. When it was written up in the yearbook, a VERY unfortunate typo had turned her into a "porky" heiress, and not a "p5, 24" heiress! poor girl!
television is a huge amount of very concentrated work. some folks just can't cope with the amount of dialogue and the enormous number of hours involved. i believe tennant wanted to return to theatre as his first acting love was the stage.
perky
ooops
yes, I would agree, he is probably fabulous on stage, and yes, tv work does demand a long schedule, but theatre has it's own demanding schedule too! 8 shows a week two matinees.....
don't get me wrong, as a fan i wish he would do the show 10 more years, but part of the fun of Doctor Who is getting a "fresh" new doctor every once in a while
I can see that, gwen. it opens a whole lot of new storylines up...btw, were you the one who was asking me if I could knit a dr. who scarf? Ever since I found that pattern I have been tempted, I must admit!
apples and bananas. with theatre once you have the script down and the marks and cues memorized it doesn't change very much. an hour of tv is approx. 50 pages of new material every eight days. a show with effects like the doctor will often run 12-14 hours per shooting day. at the end of a season's shooting, primary cast are exhausted.
tike
the scarf person was not me. tho i have a friend with one of those scarfs, but he's a bout a foot taller than me
crap. need coffee and brane fixed stat...
okay. wonder who it was, then? the dr in disguise!!!
Mr Baker can tell how dangerous to wear a 20-foot scarf all day
would be faboo at a fan show though, wouldn't it?
been to a few conventions, see the crazy fans who dress up. haven't gotten that crazy yet 8-)
primo is going to anime boston this year, and, if I do say so myself, the costume I am making him is coming out VERY well thus far!
okay, you have to post pix 8-)
here's the link, in the meantime: http://www.eldesafiodigital.com/wp-con tent/uploads/2009/04/ezio.jpg
hey there's a dalik in the grid LOL
we went to a used clothing store and bought a bunch of old brown leather coats to take apart, and the leather from them is PERFECT - I am so psyched!
looks like a sweet costume, trif!
thanks gwen
i once thought of dressing as the 2nd Romana in Horns of Nimon, but never actually did it
nbt at last
!!!
hey, terulian is iin the grid (fake word used on doctor who)
It's very doctor-y in here today!!!
seems we have taken over the chog
hello. havent stated this one yet gonna see how long my brain can handle it
got to halfway point pretty fast, but who NOSE
i mean HI mlfan!
HI Gwen
saw some of the olympic ice dancing, now i have music from phantom of theopera stuck in my head, yuck! LOL
I need to get going or I am going to be very tardy, but big grids are SO tempting! one more word, one more word....
trade you gwen - tertiare was singing the dragon tales theme song at the bus stop, and now THAT is stuck in my head, which basically has me reaching for an ice pick, at this point....
too funny, not!
okay. seriously. gotta go, or I am gonna get fired. good day and happy babbling, my dear friends! watch out for tardises (tardi?) gwen!
bye bye trif
Hi and bye Trif
lol,last time i saw a episode of dr who,i was in my 20,s.they used to air it on channel 17,the public broadcasting channel where they used to beg for money where the commercials would normally go
hiya seaspray
hiya cross
howdy gwen
Hi Gwen
but one show they did do that i enjoyed was a movie show called 'magic shadows" with elye youst(SP)
that was elwe yost, i believe
yep, i watched his show too, sometimes
ty for the spelling correction gwen;)))
turned all the big movies into chapter plays
i remember there was a guy who filled the 5 minutes of airtime after doctor who and before the next show (this was on TVOntario), he was fun
then they replaced him with Judith Merril and she was not fun
we used to get the couple who would try and give you a book for a 200 dollar donation
was the only way we ever saw british programing.saw coronation street for the first time and i understood why they love thier pubs lol
well, that's how public TV works, sweetie-darling 8-)
whats the theme for today?
i am generally too poor to give them money, but i did get the "disappearing tardis" mug
lol,a true who fan indeed
dunno, mlfan, sorry!
are we the only 3 in here?
we scared everyone away talking about my favorite obsession LOL
i havent paid much attention to chat what is your obsession gwen do tell?
oh oh,got her going now;)
well i have unraveled 59% of the grid. should i come back la5?
my favorite obsession is Doctor Who, of course! (it's a tv show)
No Gwen lol
Hi All
howdy hego
hiya hego
Hi Hego and the rest of you'all
Hi Crossy
gwen US or British version i know what it is:)
Hi Bichon
mlfan, there isn't a US version. well, okay, one tv movie they made in 1996. otherwise a british show since 1963 and currently in production
i thought they made it into a US version recently?
gonna stop here and come back la5, bye 4 now
Yikes, it's almost 9 am and I haven't eaten breakfast yet. bbl

morning, I notice some glitch with Lickety's list, however it looks like it might still work. Has anyone used it to completion successfully?
good morning everyone
i know that sprite finished about hour ago
The only glitch is that some letters at the start of the word don't match up. It's fine otherwise.
Good morning/evening all.
okay, thanks

mornin babblers!
Hello, Evan!
how are we today?
There used to be a time when finding 200 words was a real accomplishment. Today, it just means that ALL I have to find is another 177 words.
And there'll be no problem doing that.
no problem...if I give up the rest of my life today
You've got your priorities worked out, that's good.
scad
oops
pretend u did not see that
176 words....
just realized i already have NBT and NBS. so easy with the larger grids...heh
now i have some work to do...not babble related
Bye lawyer.
lol lawyer,i can also finish this grid if i give up the rest of my life today...and wear diapers...and drink nothing but energy drinks..and eat food only in paste form....
hi all
Hello, Boo.
morning Boo

Hello, robbie, python.
hi haz, looks like i won't be babbling today
too big for me, happy babbling all
Ah well, have a good day, python.
hi Haz!
Hello, robbie. Are you going to have a go?
Good afternoon Haz!
Hello! Are you delighted or dumbstruck with the total today?
Too big for me, haven't started yet but keep looking at it, Arew you winning?
Yes, it's done. It's not so much difficult as long.
Congrats to you!
Thank you! I couldn't quite believe that there could be so many words with such strange letters but there they are.
looooong
It has been pouring down for 2 days now, we had a short respite today of about 2 hours when the sun came out but have just noticed it is raining again (at least it is not snow) so will stop wineging. Hi hurshy
See? Even hurshy thinks it's long!
i just started :)
Good luck hursh.
i just felt like emphasizing what you said.
so far i have 23 M's.
By my calculations that means you need another 3.
indeed it does. and what they can be, i cannot imagine.
i have 23 also, in the same boat
i sense that they start with "MA" ....
There aren't any really peculiar ones.
i mean, 4 7's and 3 8's already - surely that's enough for any letter.
Hi EvaN and Sea
Have we included Spanish mother(s)?
i have
Hi FM
BRB phone
There are seven beginning with ma4/9.
ha! i had most of those but not the 4/9 itself!
is the count of seven inclusive of the 4/9?
Yes.
wow, i need 1 more m now
ok, only one M left!
got it!
yaaaaaaaaaay!
Well done!
that's a lot of m's!
thank you hazmataz
You're welcome.
I need all the m's..
<------------- they're all over there.
(Tough love)
lol
(wants to start whining like another player)
Then, dear ruru, I'll steadfastly ignore you.
name that proper noun! samantha's husband on 'bewitched'
Darren
ding ding ding!
I loved that series.
how could one not?
I was one of the first programme I remember seeing in colour as a child
I loved the aunt who couldn't get her spells right.
i always liked it because she had my name. ;)
tom brokaw is doing a documentary on the baby boomers. i don't see how he can stand to after writing about the greatest generation.
m's done
need help with the da 6/39
*looks* me too!
aha, another spelling of da5/24 and 6/33
da6/39 - variant spelling of da6/33, describing colour of skin?
don't have the 6/33 either
da6/33 - put a couple of vowels on the end of the da4/9
ty Haz1558!
You're welcome, mac.
the d's seem harder than the m's
i mean, if you bump into someone's fender, you are a de6. but noooooo
oa7?
oa7 - resembling a cereal
ty
That resembling ending is used quite a lot. i.e ro7, resembling Maggie May's Mr Stewart.
is it used for any D's?
Sadly not.
i have five dr's - is that all?
No, 6.
ok, thanks
Am going to tear myself away as if I don't I will be frawn to enter a word or two and really don't have the time or inclunation today. TTFN and Happy Babbling.
Toodle-oo, FM.
how do you inclun?
I have no inkling.
202 down. 175 to go
what was the husbands name in bewitched?
Darren Stephens
darren.. oh I forgot.
inclun sounds like part of the winter games

Hello, sammysmom.
are there any kr words?
hint for the ke7.44, plz?
no, hursh
ke + **'s awonderful life + **wdown + vowel
having some trouble with de 6/33
hi, nan and sammysmom
now THAT's a weird word!
Isn't it - want to guess how many monkeys?
wdown?
ty, helen. weird it is!
you're a **wdown dirty rascal
oh
yes, weird--must go look it up
s**w down, you move too fast, ya gotta make the morning last...
jeezus..
de 6/33: de + look after with different first letter
de6/33 - de plus a small speedy vehicle, but change the last consonant for a vowel.
I had been betting it wold be a small unit of currency in a Pacific island country, but it's a black rhinoceros!
Time for a walk, enjoy the grid! Think of all those lovely points.
Bye for now!
Bye--enjoy your walk
I'm still blanking on de 6/33...look after? small speedy vehicle? I should probably take a walk myself.
later, Haz! enjoy your walk

well no that i know i guess its like ok!!

bad enable for not knowing this
and then i say, "o ye of little face!"
LOL
not martier, but could be from another planet or in the military
Yikes how many re's are there?
yes, indeed he could
lots, hego

Bye Nan

oops. that was Silverclaw
then sometimes i say, "ith thith the fathe that waunched a southand shipth?"
and I say, no, that would be silverclaw
Kitties + keyboards never equal coherency
:P
she's very good at closing msn windows
sometimes i'm in more of a whitman mood, and then i say, "o kitten, my kitten..."
whitman's lost on europeans :P
oh, really? i didn't know.
I only know who he is through a facebook quiz LOL
hurshy has obviously fainted lol
hmmm. but that's a very handy line in its original form. when you're talking about picard for instance, you're all, o captain my captain, if ya know what i mean
i did not faint, i just had to go open the door for some people. i'm not that big a whitman fan in general.
what's the original line whitman-wise?
:D
I know what you mean
no, nor me, after discovering who he was!
o captain, my captain...
i need helps with we7
about Lincoln, was it not?
*goes to look it up*
O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
etc. now that I quite like
lol
I am an even worse offender, as I only know the phrase "O captain my captain" from Family Guy.
Lincoln's assasination
we read it in school.
hi olks, back to find more words
omg family guy is in England!
why is lincoln so associated with the sea? (waits for horrified faces)
olks? :D
And about time too Hego ;) I'm an addict
evening Peri!
i don't think he is in general, whitman just used an ocean metaphor in that poem
how are you doing, NB?
not with the sea. He was the captain of our national ship. It's allegorical.
ah ok. I wondered if I was missing something obvious!
Not too bad thanks Peri, just exposing my ignorance of fine literature :) and you?
It's funny, I know enough now about American history to at least not disgrace myself, but not enough to not have BIG blanks still
We all remember it, because noone is ever going to come up with a suitable bundle of lines from "When lilacs last in the dooryard bllomed", which is a much better poem (though not so much better as to justify its length!)
doing ok, NB, wishing the winter was over, tired of the ice/snow
back
Hi jmc
it's just an interesting analogy. the UK's navy is famous historically, not so much the US navy, it just seems odd to use that analogy for someone so famous
well then, ata, you prolly know more than most americans do.
LOL Helen
hi NB ata peri hego helen and anyone else
Ata, it looks like the botancial drawing/painting class will be a challenge for me. But I will carry on and do the best I can. worked on shading last night in class
hi jmc
challenges are good! but just enjoy it, too
I know all about Lewis and Clark LOL
and Lois and Clark, too, one hopes
My kid's great, great, great, etc. grandfather is Daniel Boone.
despite having studied American history for a year, all I have is a scanty knowledge of something relating in some manner to some production of some oil.
*slides in and snoggles NB*
lol. only from superman films. never watched smallville etc
cool -- daniel boone's parents were Quakers
Careful Eva. I'm home alone. I may give in to the moment ;)
He had more than one family, it seems.
*i* am descended from roger williams on *both* my mother's side and my father's side.
oil is unfortuntaely the basis for a lot of history around the world
Don't feel bad Ata Americans don't know that much about American history either.
isn't that incestuous, LOL
Ooo old blood.
my son's great great uncle was Frederick Douglas
this organic mint green tea is quite good
give in darling -- lets go shopping!
hursh you could join DAR!
hey, nancy, don't be worried. we both know more than anyone else just by virtue of being Brits :P
*puts on gloves to protect from blood*
My not-so-secret passion ;) how are you, anyway? And how's the fiancé?
vat ist DAR?
have you set a wedding date, Eva?
Daughters of the American Revolution
i am well. fiance is well, also. both quite busy, but good. :)
peri -- october 23! shall we have a babble reception?
i would never join... i'm a loyalist, don't forget. as you can see by my flag.
indeed, Eva!
ty! I love babble for many reasons, but one is being able to ask dumb questions about American things to learn
Daughters of the American Revolution -- the right wing group that refused to let Marian Anderson give a concert in their hall because she was Black
I waved at the Queen for you the other day, Hurshy :D
Ooooooh autumn, with the pretty leaves...*swoons*
oooh thanks ata! how's she look?
something to think about now more of our kids are getting school issued laptops...
pffffft
http://www.pcworld.com/article/190019/ when_schools_spy_on_their_students_bad _things_happen.html
what? i want to know if she is maintaining her health or if there's a King Charles in our future
queeny :)
pfffft to jmc :)
ohhhh
crossing our fingers that it will still be nice, as we are hoping for an outdoor ceremony. but the venue easily does indoor as well, and the indoor area is surrounded by glass on 3 sides, so you feel outdoors!
cant be a king charles.....his ears will not fit on our current coins......
there can be coins with ears! that would be sooo funny
that was a terrible (but funny) story about the home spying!
LOL hursh
Oooh that's lovely, Eva! I'm sure it will be nice weather, I'll pray for it, Big G owes me a favour
I will pencil oct 23 on my calendar and start looking for the invite in the mail
hi, all. yesterday was intersting. i was at work (from home) and lost internet access. The ice and snow here caused an access point to freeze. We had no internet until this afternoon. We had snow on the ground here overnight, which rarely happens. It's almost melted now.
Also Crossy - your king charles joke is the reason why my laptop is now covered in water. It used to be in my mouth. I also choked a bit
the snow lasted overnight!?!?!?! in Texas !?!?!?!?!
on s side note i have a friend who is a tech guru and actually can remotely fire up the built in camera on my talbet style computer,so i put a wart bandage over the lens when not in use lolk
*checks to make sure up is still up*
lol nb!!!
speaking of terrible stories, i just saw a video the other day of a hit-and-run that happened in 2008 in hartford. this car whacked a man in the road, i think he then was somewhat hit by another car. neither car stopped, other passing cars didn't stop, no pedestrians stopped - you can see them just walking on by.
i was all "frabjous day"ing all over the chog about this time yesterday, as i think we have found our photographer at an INSANE price!!
why for did you pfffft me ata?
not you , really, at what you said about DAR
very very cool hursh -- i thought ata was going to do it for the price of a ticket
I'll do the pictures! I specialise in blurry shots with no heads, and can throw in a touch of solar flare and thumb-over-the-lens completely free of charge...since you're a friend ;)
it was in 1932 and they have apologized
I guess that's fair enough then lol
jmc - the DAR barred Ms Anderson? it wasn't Daughter of the Confederacy?
well, i DO feel blessed now, dont i NB? ;)
no it was DAR
see, like Ata said - you can learn history here
they have had Black members since 1977 (no sense rushing these things)
even though the first fatality in the American Revolution was a Black man
we can take one of you looking moody next to a mirror
The black members, of course, are daughters of slaves of the mothers of the daughters of the american revolution.
gotta go talk to a big donor that just showed up
heh, with as much work as we still have left to do, im sure i WILL be looking moody!
No there were lots of free black whales in Massachussetts
bbl
I had a college friend who was qualified to be a member, we researched my ancestry's military connections in hopes I was too - we figured we could join, take over the local chapter long enough to pass a batch of civil rights resolutions - but my only revolutionary war ancestor was on the wrong side - a drummer boy or some such with the British! So we never got to try our scheme.
Did whales have the vote jmn?
with the Brits> outrageous!

Anybody reading Patti Smith 's memoir about Mapplethorpe?
I gave up biographies for lent. I decided that I'd stop reading about other peoples' lives and try to live my own...it didn't work, my copy of Hysterical and Useless is open as we speak
well read it after Lent then.
may as well read it now, I'm not even religious. Is it any good?
New York late 60s early 70's pre-punk scene
Yeah, it's good and it takes me back
I wish I'd lived long enough to be taken back. The nineties and noughties kind of missed being a big musical era...well, not the nineties so much
Nostalgia is always better than reality.
Someday I will be sitting in a nursing home fabricating my memories
If I wasn't somewhere, well, I COULD have been
LOL Kaplan!!
:)
I don't worry about making memories up, but I do worry about losing the ones I have
Just stay away from nasty substances and excercise your brain playing Babble and you'll be fine
oh no, poor memories run in the family. For some of the gigs and festivals I've been to, I wish I had a memory like a film, but it might be better to imagine it.
lol yes nb,stay away from the chemicals,1977 to 79 is a void for me lol
Do you know about the woman who has a perfect detailed memory of everything that ever happened to her since the age of 12- she is a neurological wonder
LOL Crossy!
..but then again,so is what i ate for dinner last night lol

Shoot- I'm late for where I have to be. Bye
See you, Kaplan :)

ahh yea,the bacon explosion,ive actually done that recipie.its best eaten when cut into 1 inch thick slices and served as apitizers.i cannot imagine making an entire meal around it as it is too potent:0
and im in the middle of perfecting bacon tofu:)
moving along, only 87 left, bbs
Later, peri
Totally puzzled by ca 6/24, the first...
americanized spelling of ca7
ca6 sincere
crossy...I agree you might actually vaporize your taste buds chowing down that as a meal!
Oooh, thanks for 2, jessmom!
yw
wow bacon tofu...that would probably work since tofu has no real taste of it's own it absorbs flavors you put it with...hmmm on second thought I think Trader Joes may already carry a bacon tofu or else one of our other health food stores just seems like I have seen that in my travels....
here crossy...http://recipes.epicurean.com/ recipe/1131/tofu-bacon.html

Hello again...
hi jell
kinda quiet for such a big grid
jmc! How are you?
sleepy but pretending i am working
*gets productive-look mask out*
oo very nice! do have one that fits me?
*do you
hi
hi kap
I think I do...*measures jmc's face*....ahh! Here you go!
Hi, Kaplan
*puts on mask with bright eyes*
lovely now my staff will never catch me playing babble again!
bwahahhahahahaha
What an evil laugh you have!
that was my daughter saying hi- she thinks it's really inappropriate that I talk to strangers
Tell her we're not strangers!
how does she know we are strange?
We ARE strange!
Uh- because we spend hours looking for words in grids and chatting with people we don't know?
Nothing strange about that!
and that is strange how?
besides i have met several of the babblers
back again:)
No one here is qualified to judge
help with first en6/18 pls
hi peri
Where have you met them?
*skips to pb*
I've met to and Cioccia Judy and marigold is my sister
well TO was in Annapolis for work last summer so I invited her to join me for a baseball game in DC
TO even
and then DC Seian and Lil*Monkey set up a meet up in DC
there is going to be another meet up in Baltimore soon
Did you have anything in common? Did you give each other needle cases?
I almost met kje last fall in Dallas...
I sucked wht into babbleland
a love of words and conversation is most of what we had in common
a year of learning about each others lives in the chog
Cool!
I actually am on another board wh
I knew flosey, hetty and the late dilly before babble and have had visits with stid, raelite, saanichcat, stidgmere, and the two stidkids
Hi, jilli!
i am planning to meet pini and stiddie and other in washington state in august
...another board that is not a game with about 40 people who have become very close in 5 years
hi all!
I'm one of the others and so is bugsaw
yep you are jill!
first en6 pls
en + what a dog wags
currently aiming for august 20-22 period jill
Sorry, don't have en6...
i just wish i could find a way to bring lbd along from MT
sounds fine, jmc!
en+ **r* firm or earth
I would love to meet lbd...love to meet you all!
or add a vowel to the coming in word
duh, thank you
jellen and peri -- see my clue at 5:13
got it jilli, ty
y'all should set up a Texas meet up (and yes I know oklahoma is not Texas)
en + what a dog wags
Thanks, jilli!
yw :)
so there's really a little community?
oh yes, and it grows
Well, my oh my!
there are several -- dcseain and kje and TOwl and others have had get-togethers in the DC area
and stid and scrabbler are cousins
A Texas meet-up would be fun...
I confess that I got addicted to a soap opera when I finished my dissertation a few years ago and found a little on-line community of people I otherwise would never have known...
It's interesting at election time.
Some of us have met.
They are also used to my rapier wit.
several of the brits are real friends too, visiting each other -- of course, it's easier there, not such distances to travel
What did you dissertate about, Kaplan?
I can say things online that I usually would only mutter under my breath in staff meetings
well, I'd better get on with this -- 116 to go
I dissertated about different levels of heroin users- some addicted, so not, and explored their attachments
hi, folks, haven't been chatting - just got through this grid (with the list of course) -
I mean some not, not so not
Hi, JBV and congrats!!!
I have 108 left, but no mmotivation
catching up on chat - I've met with some Babblers and I can attest they are really and truly real people - Scrabbler, Dorens, Temple Owl, Nrkii
whooo hooo jbv
What is an example of an attachment?
We once went to a Bichon list get-together
attachment relationships- like to parents in early life, and significant others
I am not a real person.
no, you're a stranger one, says your daughter
People would posit that heroin users have a primary relationship with the drug, therefore impaired attachments with people- but I found there were no differences between users and non users
Since you asked. So few people ask me anymore.
It seemed so important at the time.
Ah, vanity, all is vanity...
And how did you go about obtaining the information to sustain that conclusion?
woot, only 70 left, I will finish but it is taking a long time
volcano alert, just in case you missed it as I did
Questionaires and some standard measures, statistical analysis and all that
for once I found the volcano early on jilli
Do you doubt me? Next I will study the attachments of on line game players
I'm mainly attached to my Bichon
No, I was curious if you had to spend time in heroin dens
No, but I work in the field and had access
Well, Alice has the answers for me: If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?
and if you weren't mad, you wouldn't have come here
That's the Cheshire Cat speaking
Then again, I get angry less often now. I do not have the energy I once did.
I think the president of Toyota and Tiger Woods are going to collaborate on a book
I'm just listening to the news
The Queen: Sentence first -- verdict afterwards.
"Faster! Faster!"
So, you work in the field. The poppy fields?
RT LOL
BR LOL
All right, all right.
ditto
that comment got all the lurkers to surface BR, me included lol
Love Alice
Have your little fun at my expense. I can take it.
Yes I agree...just couldn't hold back any longer *wink*
well Dorothy just walked through the poppy field and look what happened to her!!
well, there you go.
I love the white queen having hysterics because she is going to prick her finger later.
I certainly did not intend any offense, Kaplan. I apologize.
I am not offended.
My too Jilli...I have a wonderful Madame Alexander Alice doll and accoutrements!
Paul Lynde can dish it out, he oughta be able to take it
I have 106 words left- it's just too much to deal with
I'm almost half-way!
is Paul Lynde still alive? I love (or loved depending on the answer) his humor
The Republicans are arguing about the shape of the table at the health care summit. Anyone remember the Paris peace Talks during Vietnam?
I believe the theme here is we are here to be supportive of each other and have fun it is a place of joy and offering of friendship and kindness but we are playful but only in a friendly way...never take yourself too seriously and we all seem to feel pretty equal here no need to brag or try to be superior over one another...it is a level playing field...do I have that right fellow babblers..comments welcome.
"Speak roughly to your little boy, And beat him when he sneezes; He only does it to annoy, Because he knows it teases." CHORUS (in which the cook and the baby joined): -- -- "Wow! wow! wow!" While the Duchess sang the second verse of the song, she kept tossing the baby violently up and down, and the poor little thing howled so, that Alice could hardly hear the words: -- -- "I speak severely to my boy, I beat him when he sneezes; For he can thoroughly enjoy The pepper when he pleases!" CHORUS "Wow! wow! wow!"
Paul Lynde is dead but lives on in the hearts of those who love him- and on you-tube\
humpty dumpty!
The Duchess
..sat on a wall...
MPitt, you have it 100% right
you're probably right
Mpittore, that is correct.
I shall leave to bring my kerfuffle elsewhere.
Probably?
Bye, BabbleRabble
BR please don't leave...
The wordsplay players invaded here the other day, but they feel more at home in wordsplay- speed freaks, you know
"20 pediatricians charged with abusing children over the past year"
BR I enjoy your kerfuffle...you make me laugh and that is a sweet thing...
I need to turn off the news before I get nauseated
Kerfuffle is OK by me
ok really going to go fix my merman his dinner before he begins to bark *woof*
I too am watching the news, but NBC next story is about a high school in Rhode Island in which the superintendent wants to fire all the teachers
I guess I'm on CBS
only in RI!!
love Brian Williams.....only watch NBC even the local station has the best news
I don't usually watch network news, but it's one of those evenings
For me, nothing has been the same since Cronkite
I totally agree with you. Loved Brokaw too!
Love your icon Lady B!
but do you love my Steven also??
Or Robert Trout. I actually remember having my nightime bottle- I mean of milk, as a toddler, not scotch- while Robert Trout was on the evening news. It is one of my earliest memories
I think the icons are too small to see clearly
Absolutely!
My daughter was right- I am strange
click on it to open my profile and then you can see it Kap
My cat wants to eat
feed him/her later open my profile first lol
just click on the icons, kap!
How about Peter Jennings?
Ha Ha! Do you live near Pawtucket, bu any chance?
he was also good except for Cronkite, never really enjoyed any of the other anchors liked Katie Couric when she was on the today show but not so much now
My mother had a big ole crush on Jim Jensen.
I live in Coventry, which is about 20 minutes south my mom was born and raise in the "bucket" though
This is the most random of random conversations
do you know people in Pawtucket?
let me go feed the can
I know a great little cafe there
I meant the cat, not the can\
in Pawtucket???? how bizarre.
do you make special trips to RI just to go to the cafe in Pawtucket???? lol
It is about 2 years old, very artistic, with homemade icecream, locally grown foods, and a very creative owner
mmmmm homemade ice cream
No, I have some personal aqquaintance
But YOU could go there
what is the name of it?
Cafe Laila
Look on line or facebook for more info
I will have to check it out and I will look online as you suggested
When you go tell us how you liked it
now go feed the cat!!!!
I just googled and found Kafé Lila in Pawtucket -- I think that's the one
Have fun babbling- I'm done. No fireworks- it's raining anyway
You got it. If you go to their webpage, you can take a tour of the cafe - it is unique.
Let's ALL meet there!
Bye for now.
let me know when so I can book my flight now!!! lol
bye
bye kap!
You have to fly to Pawtucket from COventry?
BYE!!

Hi peri, hi jilli. And to answer your question, peri, the cultural exchange went very well!
good to hear, Brookie
He's out in Kansas City right now, and will be returning to see me this weekend for a few days.
were there any sparks?
How have you been doing?
I know I am being nosy, you can just tell me to shut up
sounds good, brookie ;)
I am fine, very tired of snow and ice, more expected tonight and tomorrow
I'm nosy too
Brookie are you still doing the Pampered Chef
can't complain about the weather here
I'm an open book, peri. MAJOR sparks. But we're not sure if we'd be a good match for the long-term. We might have different expectations. But no matter what, we will be, at the very least, extremely close friends.
wow great to hear about Major sparks!!! sounds good
I'm not doing Pampered Chef anymore (change in my living situation made it too difficult), but if you need anything from the company, I know an EXCELLENT consultant who does the business full-time and can help you.
thanks Brookie, a good friend gets me stuff from pamperfed chef
pampered even
Glad to hear you're already taken care of with Pampered Chef. And thanks for asking about Mr. Australia.
44 left, go me :)
I know I will go to the PB for this but like is very good as an ending today

yw
I cannot believe you can take that ending and put it on all those words. I would make two separate words if I were writing them!
peri - fif you get my ro7 clue?
Mmm would you like clues for n words?
fif = did
How do you find the theme of the day?
the n's are finished here.. they were all known words

ty
evening, all! Just getting started -- big one today!
hmm... 5 letter word beginning with S
hi fuquay. big, but fairly straightforward, for the first two thirds at least
add a vowel to se4
that's good. I did get NBT pretty quickly, so let's see how far I can get
for the icon theme of the day, if you can't find sprite's icon, here's the link you can bookmark: http://tinyurl.com/6z7unz
hi jili!
and the theme today is motorcycles
candor
hi everyone who arrived while I was in the kitchen :)
ooops. pb for me, sorry
brit spelling too, dorens
oh thanks, i don't know if i'd have seen that one. you're a real friend
:-)
i had a very tough day. one of the best girls we've ever had at our school (went on to hs three years ago, but keeps in touch) became very ill about 6 weeks ago.. has been in icu this whole time. she passed away last night
Hi babblers
oh dear, doren, that's so sad
hello sht
So sorry , Dorens
i went up to the high school and spent the time with my old students. her friends. these kids used to eat lunch with me at least twice a week. and she was such a golden girl, you couldn't ask for a lovelier person
So sorry, ((Dorens))
oh, dear, sorry dorens
her brother is in fourth grade in my school.. this has been tough on him but he's the strong silent type
well, silent, maybe not as strong as he seems?
of course, this has taken such a toll on him in ways we won't even know about. the family was fantastic though.. came home from the hospital every afternoon to try to make his life as normal as possible. but what a void this creates in their lives. really nice family, extremely religious, which does help in times like this
wht, I didn't mean to call you sht!
You aren't the first, jilli. :^)
I was off looking at MoreWords anyway. I hadn't noticed.
hello all. looks like a babble-free ngiht tonight
It certainly seems to be a chat free night
Hi, TO
babblefree? blasphemy
i shall watch modern family and read
i'm assuming a snow day for tomorrow, so can stay up late and babble AND read
our snow is not supposed to begin until afternoon
oh no, that is a bad sign, i haven't checked recently. but if yours isn't till the afternoon, then i'm sure ours won't be either
will get out 59 minutes early and sit for 3 hours in traffic
re words routed, heh heh
55 left
haven't had any major snow storms that began during school this year.. maybe tomorrow will be a first
oh, go jilli go!
I now see why jared lost weight eating subway. bread and lettuce and tomato have very little calories. most of the meat is mssing :/
watching women's bobsleigh -- Canada doing very well
sorry to hear of the loss of your former student, Dorens
hello, back to find my last 23 words
doren i am tired of getting my a$$ kicked i lexulous.
thanks for all the sympathy... after comforting everyone all day, it is nice to be comforted. And I really did love this girl. I wonder if the olympics will help get my head together
oh, sorry owl. want me to let you win?
To are you playing our game in Scramble?
TO even
Finally, fireworks
yay, wht!
ok...peri i did not realize we had one, how many rounds do they go?
DOren, no, either i have the worst luck ever in letters or i really suck
YAY wht!!!
not sure Owl, 3 or 5, you should have received a notice that I started another game.
I will not play lexulous or any type of Scrabble, not good at that type of game
what is scramble like?
similar to boggle, fast game, 3minutes for each round, you get used to it tho, want to play a game jilli?
no thanks, no good at timed games
ok
ok i have to go. happy babbling all
slow and steady, that's this tortoise
bye TO
Snow but not steady here :-)
Er, Slow...
hi everyone!
sorry owl, was distracted. you don't suck at scrabble... it's all luck, honestly
Hey, lbd!
hi Jellen!, sorry to hear about your student, Dorens. (((hugs)))
9 RE words left!!
hi dawg
whew! the brit bobsleighers went upside down but they are ok, thank goodness!
I stink at scrabble!
hi, lbd
yikes, jilli
I stink at Scrabble too
hi peri
Jellen, have you ever played Scramble on FB, it is faster pace than this but you get used to it
slow snow snows slowly so sweep swiftly since sleet sucks he he he
I lack a strategic mind...
hi dorens
me too Jellen
i don't like timed games either... i am good a boggle if not timed, but most people like to time it
Yes, I've tried Scramble, but I'm pokey...
I didn't like it at first but I got used to it. if you ever want to try, let me know, Doren and Jellen
February is almost over tfgrrl
goodness peri, i have so many games and things to distract me from life, i never get anything done!
yes wht, but the problem with that is that march follows. i have never liked march
i was just tickled by Jellen's typo, I'm in LA. We have no snow.
i hope march comes in like a lion. let's get this nasty stuff over and done with!
I wouldn't say that too loud with this crowd. We are in the midst of a rainstorm here in Boston.
March often seems to come in like a lamb and go out like a lion.
march always seems so gloomy... when there's no snow, the gardens look so bleak. and there are no school holidays, so it is the longest month for us. and it seems to come AND go like a lion
and it never really feels like spring until a month after it officially starts. I say we should campaign for spring to really begin in march; that would make life much more pleasant.
Vernal equinox is March 20th
I think TS Eliot was onto something when he called April the cruelest month.
but it doesn't feel like it, dawg
At least here, you think it should be spring, but it isn't. But it isn't winter either.
amen to that, since taxes are due in April, and we got screwed big time this year
I think Feb is the worst month, alho I was born in Feb
well, at least in april we get some flowers, and tree buds, and days off of school!! don't think ts was paying attention to that though
Having good weather is ALL about where you live :-)))))
Having good weather is a lot about your state of mind.
I know people who say that there is no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothes.
well, i'm down to 90 and time for a break. see you later
brb...Dog is driving me crazy...
fireworks!!!
I have 3 b-day's in march.. 13th is grandmothers, 17th(st. patricks day) is brothers- and 19th is mine.
whooooo hooooooo PERI!!
when is spring break, dorens?
wtg peri
mmmm that too, and good outdoor clothing. snow, sun, rain, fog, whatever, bring in on, but personally I like sun.
ty, now off to check e-mail, byyeee
these all fall during our spring break
clue for st 5/10 I have the one a thief does
hi all :)
Um, I gotta ask, it's been driving me crazy the past 4 days - what is FIREWORKS????
The other is the medical device that goes into blood vessels
i've lived in cold climes most of my life, so i really don't mind the temps. i do get bummed with the lack of sun tho

YAY! game over -- Canada wins and goes to the semi-finals
i don't see anything wrong with it, either, but, "I believe in us, I believe in you and I," ...ugh (but i maintain it's still a lovely anthem)
congrats to
congrats to Canada!
*tosses white hat into the air*
the writer is wrong, though, about "polite Canadians" objecting to "me". BS.
i'd bet she was quoted out of context
i think that pompous canadians do not think that "me" is acceptable ... i hear them every day! *lol*
now I am sturggling again 125...
whoooooo hooooo CANADA!!!!
a's abolished! Finally!
go jellen! go red!
if thats the way pompous Canadians feel, they have nothing to be pompous about
c's complete, but d's daunting...
There is a word that starts yp?
agreed ... i'm not kidding, though. i hear it from high level professionals who've gone through years and years of schooling. then again, who said that schooling = education?
yep!
Jeez maybe I will have to find a dictionary
de 6/33?
Like an unabridged one...
You might use a site like morewords.com, tfgrrl...

hmmm, an7...is this a combined word meaning contra-?
plus that game that i must not mention has been extra buggy today
I worked in fits and starts to finish...
and I think there's an ar5 8 6 combo in there...
No, it means bug-ish
if you've found li4/8, you can add it to lots of words to get 7s and at least one 8
ar 8 and 6 are related
hello all. A biggie! worth starting?
got the 8 6...sure stid join in am down to 179 to go and you'd prob beat me...
hiya stid!!
I don't have li4 8
hi stid -- go ahead -- it's fun most of the time

hi pav and stid with her head down and jilli
oh no, west! How dumb of you!
nobody sneeze on me!!
our satellite went out on the one channel that has the Olympics
that's disappointing, west
don't touch my keyboard!
nice results for Canada today, west -- see my profile
it's funny jilli just woke up and my nose was running..no aches, no sore throat just tissues please
NBT and down t0 305
bess you! when Joey sneezes, I "bess you" as if he knows...
lets hope it will go away fast too, west
we did attend a birthday party at Chucky Cheese for the 4 yr old on Sunday

Lucky is feeling yucky... many gaseous emanations...
it doens't li4 8 candolier
ugh, stid!
ca7 is the brit sp of ca6
I was just going to say that lol
ok, now I speak more than one variation of English...dialects, I think is more proper
you know how the brits add letters
and sometimes I have a strange accent, and I'm not in a play!
stid, thank you for sharing (not!)
I think it's rawther nice
I just wish there were doggie tums...
as they properly should, West! so as to not confuse the proper Engl with the AMerican version
we have a cat named Lucky in the neighborhood he's the sheriff comes around and expects the premises every day or so
does peppermint work on dogs li4 8 humans?
the Americans subtracted letters. The original our endings came from French, and Webster decided to go back to Latin and got rid of the u
Hi, west and stid!
expects = inspects ?
I don't know Pav... jill? any thoughts?
my lucky's a galoot. but I love him. we take care of each other.
darn Americanes!
agree pav and jilli it is just so classy
I have no idea, stid. Danes fart perfume if at all.
lol
how about saltines? or burnt toast?
ROFL! MIss Jilli!
we yanks like to shorten words. like yankee = yank. budgerigar = budgie. and so on = like that
rofl "whatEVER" jill... *rolls eyes and adopts 15-year old posture*
fiddlesticks. I am down to 257, and going to work on paper just a little more... *determined mama look* back in about fifteen minutes. *poof*
*waves byebye as stid disappears...
I wanted to tell stid that the town next to us made the ABC Nightly news for firing all the teachers
I sure hope they can come to some sort of agreement
west, I saw that in the papers here -- and Time mag had an article about doing that in the last issue
fired 'em for what? asking for decent pay?
ca7 48?
they've had 5 principals in the last 6 years
the Time article was about improving bad schools by firing the adults and keeping the kids, then hiring better adults
Gwen it's all about test scores and retention rates and politics
pav, sorry, that's my only missing C
test scores? oh phooey on that.
West...are the teachers there forbidden from striking? growing up in Mich that was the law and still they tried...
ca7/48 -- similar to a feline
pav it's most resembling a meower
remember that li4/8, pav?
I'm not sure gwen I know the union is involved
TY youse guys, jilli and west, got it
thanks! ...Joey just odorized the room...time for a walk...
yw :)
I've moved back to this area..Central Falls is a mile square and used to be a pleasant little town but people started moving away and immigrants started moving in so many of the kids don't speak English, drugs are rampant and no one seems to care there are some really good teachers but they aren't getting any help
no points for kewpy (woulda been a big scorer)
I tried that
wait, there were no drugs in town before you got immigrants? hmmmmmm . . .
brb...
the dogs are on a roll tonight
no that's not what I meant I was afraid you'd take it that way
also, yos say people started moving away, then immigrants started moving in. that's not symmetrical, if you don't mind me mentioning
We don't live there I was here in the early 60's and just got back
of course it happened over a long period of time but that's the situation now and the kids having to live in that situation
people moved out to the suburbs
ke7/44 -- ke + b**s and pieces + pay back a ***n promptly if anyone wants a clue (it's a kind of rhinoceros)

maybe, but it's not marine
she
does know a lot about a lot of things
back. printing the latest draft of the paper. Will go over it again tomorrow with my RED pen and then tomorrow night stay up as late as necessary to finish. I am VERY glad the due date was moved 16 hours later!!!
so many Rs and Ts and Es, i keep finding plurals of words i found 12 hours ago
thanks for the ke 7
why stid why the delay?
i mean i looked at them 12 hours ago and thought plurals would not work, and boing, there's the plural over there!
I'm happy for you that there is one
because the teacher is not going to be on campus tomorrow... and neither are the students. We are all scattered all over western washington on Thursdays.
phantom lantern
well that's a plus
this grid is surprisingly friendly
lots of extensions to words, yes
YES! got an 8!

wtg stid! Remember to add li4/8 to lots of words
Ms finally Managed -- last two were extensions that i swear were not in the grid this morning!! LOL
so happy to find lickety when I got back
