nbt
if you have a hole in your sock what do you do pav
thanks, BJ, and hi!
wtg west!
fix my socks? holes in socks = Joey being bad,,I lose the socks
I'd throw it out (ideally) or shove it in the back of a drawer and forget about it
throw the socks out?
yankee thrift says you me** them
or that...
emend
what I do, west, if I like the sock, is darn it ;)
yeah pav lol
oopsies!
10 to go...
You could also repair the sock.
I darn about everything, like this darn grid or the darn ones I didn't finish! :)
darn would be the correct word jilli I bet you still have one of those wooden things in your sewing box too
lol, pini
lol pini
i usually buy six pairs of socks at a time.. all the same.. no problem
I have a darning egg, and I actually enjoy doing it
that's it couldn't think of the name
i used to darn socks-- last time was 40 years ago- lol
actually, If the dogs get a hold of any one sock, I give them the other...who needs one sock? and they like chewing on socks
I could send you a bag of single socks my washer eats them
or maybe it's the dryer they always blame each other
old sock are great for dusting-
Our last male Dane liked chewing on socks too. One of our other Danes liked chewing on ballpoint pens and ruined a rug that way (indelible stains)
sammy I'm like jilli I only darn the ones I like
late!
wow, one extreme to the other
I can't find any Bonnie Doons for myself
hi flosey -- lovely icon!
thanks jilli, yours too
get right in here flosey you'll be lucky if you finish this gigantic grid before tomorrow night
i did darn walter's 30 year old sweater last year- .. i made it for him and he can t bear to let it go.. even if i make him another-lol
really west, nasty is it?
jilli and flosey you both have lovely icons and write ups
2nd column grey - fwiw
it's not too bad took grem 11 minutes
phant canzone and canzoni
I was just being facetious
it's worth everything, melon...I'm still not 1/2-way
grem's already finished, flosey, and has posted a list. BJ has also posted a list. Lickety tried, but came up with yesterday's again.
did I spell that correctly?
*!* ta da *!* -- even in this small grid there is the usual complement of nonwords!
yay nan !! very nice
de7...and congrats Nan!
pretty small percentage are common in this one
wtg nan
YAY nan!!! Small grids always seem to have mostly nonwords
brb...
thanks jilli - hubby just came home - interruption, he's making me a cup of tea now
hey, if pf4 is a word, the why isnt ptooi?
I could not believe yesterdays puzzle and how many words they added LIKE to. Most of them I would never have thought were one word!
meti
no logic to enable, melon
I'm bummed...I posted a new icon and I can't see it! :(
had to use grem's list for the last 4 -- never would have thought of them!
try again, pini
well, let me ask you this...do you see a monkey or a baby?
hmph - epoetin is a word!
a baby
Pini, your grandson is so cute
your assistant appears when I click on your profile, pini -- just not in the chat
* sigh of relief *...I still see my monkey...changed it to my GS
thx flosey!
maybe it'll fix itself after I go to bed
I guess I'll have to go out and back in, pini -- my refresh doesn't seem to work these days
off to read my mail, then shut the machine down for the night -- see you tomorrow :)
night nan!
mine either, jilli
night nan ;)
bye nan take care
pini what a happy little guy how old is he now?
refresh doesn't change anything for me either -- poor lickety -- there seems to be a list of things that don't work.
halfway, 5 short of NBT, and I don't have the 7.
7 months on Mar 2
he must be such a joy
I don't think the refreshing has anything to do with Lickety
he is very much so! :)
I still see pini's other icon in the chat but when I click on it I see the baby
that's what happens to me, too, west...
I'm guessing it will resolve itself after awhile...oh well...both are rather cute! :)
4 left all 6's
why can't I find BJ's list in BabAnon? It still shows stid's Feb 23 one.
good thing I can get grem's
gotta luv safety nets!
git'r dun, diz!
just missing the de7 to finish
23/21, 2 BT, 1 six, no seven...cya tmw! :)

wow DIZ, good for you
over excited

YAY diz!!!
YAY pav!!!
this is worse than yesterday's
See -- I'm dragging this out for the joy of your company ;)
yesterday's was fun
done
lol jilli, yes, I enjoyed yesterday's, even as big as it was
YAY ruru!!!
WTG Ru
hmmmm, you really did find 44 words in this mess?
yesterday's is gone...today's is here...let's focus on the here and now and let tomorrow be yet another day!...ok where's my drink!
flosey...not all of them are real *wink wink, nod nod*
thanks Pav, will just keep monkeying
that's how I "found" the ep4 and 5
*brings leftover monkeys to flosey*
and the me6
ruru's visiting/cavorting with flosey! gossip...do tell!
much appreciated RU
they were all real words for me
(just monkeying around pav)
pe4 6 is real?
sure, grem, you use them all in everyday conversation, right?
good one ru
meddle column grey - or gray
is the u a un word?
I need that and 4th column N for NBT
If I don't use a word, it's not real?
Grem, you must have a fabulous vocabulary!
un + not pencil
see, ruru, "takes on tone of Miss Jilli" when you use "bring" it connotes a personal action of you carrying something with you to another location...if you sent or took something to another location it 's be more correct...lessons over...next drink....
I'm puzzling with a un word melon
(more like a fabulous brain flosey)
thanks ru
yes ru, think you're right
it's = it'd
tx ruru - thought I had tried that, but apparently not. I did try unpet, which is when patting an animal has a bad outcome and you try to undo it by changing direction.
ty for the un, ru
:)
our 2-dollar coin is here
grem...not using a word makes it "unreal"?...if you yell when no ones's around, would it be heard? or something like that...another drink, please!
(toonie)
darn, not accepted though jilli
very ze3 (not a word), PAV
I'm not surprised, flosey
I think it's the Pinot Grigio speaking
o...lord stuck in Santa Margherita-ville again
nope...although it is some Italianate variety
hint for second row N please - then I wil have NBT - "with a little help from my friends"
ok, will someone please put te4/10 in a sentence
if "heil" is allowed (and it has been), why isn't "nein"
I'm celebrating my ten-year anniversary of working continuously for the State of Arizona...a total of 17 years altoghether
I haven't used it enough, I guess.
agree jilli - always try
congrats, pav
Yay Pav
te4/10 is a staple grain in Ethiopia, so, "I'll have the teff hold the casava"
oops I said it sorry!!!!
tytyty melon, good for you
te4 7...if we were cows in northern africa we'd be munching on te4 7, a variety of grass found there
ty melon -- I'm glad :)
of course it is the only mathematically possible te4/10 so how bad should I feel. Now, N hint please! (second row 4th column)
now we have to give you a teff time
*waiting for the N clue too
actually, tepz and tezp are also possible!
and tezu, missed that one
the ne4 babblet...cousin to rafe?
think sign lights
ne + ** wishes were horses
thank you iam going to bed {poof}
or my fav ne5...combo ending in the Big T** tent
oh dear, I don't even know my R from my L tonight!
A palindromist would even call it a potent ne5.
it's the other one flosey!
thanks Pav
the one I don't use to write!
ok calling it a day! we'll see y'all mananana
goodnight Pav
me too.. night all.. hagn.
goodnight ru
Clues are up
tyty lickety
44 words? I think this has to be the smallest one yet
I see I missed a huge one yesterday =(, ty Lickety
but it was a fun one meliae
back from a time out to watch MSNBC and got drawn in by Keith Olbermann talking about his very ill father
lickety's clues are up jilli
and thanks again, Lickety! (Funny, though, the 2 letters in the boxes are still yesterday's)
they've been that way a bit lately
something must be askew
nbt at last! (that N was hiding)
oh, I have nbt too, didn't realize, so busy trying to find groups of letters that they accept as words
hiya. though I finished that 7 letter one was kicking my behind for a while
can you give a clue for the 7 please Ormal?
de+what you call yourself+2000 pounds
tyty, great clue Ormal
hi ormal
yw, glad I could help
hi jilly how are ya?
fast puzzle today with some really odd words
fine, thanks -- slow here because I'm watching TV too -- Rachel Maddow now
glad you found it fast Ormal, I'm really struggling with it
have you finished, ormal?
Sorry Flosey. Yes jilli
had to do some typing for hubby, that's why I was late coming in, and he wasn't here to help me figure out his scrawl !
lol, i understand!
Congrats, ormal!
but needs it tomorrow (of course)
If you decide you need help let me know and I'll try to clue you in.
this is not the kind of grid I like
thanks Ormal, may take you up on your kind offer
how about the pe5s?
one is a pasta jilli
two different endings to a pasta
I can't get the first one
thankyou Ormal
ty (I think I'm going crosseyed)
and my head's numb
finally ps are done
I made Atalante's spinach balls tonight & my whole family loved them.
It's always nice to be done with p's.
glad to hear that Ormal, I'm anxious to try them
(not here, they were Peri's spinach balls really!!)
they were still great! :D big hit and I have 3 kids
(good!!! they are sooo good *poofs*)
fireworks, and I have to admit, the last word I struggled with is so very common
te4/5 - monkeyed everywhere else but up
fireworks here too :)
wtg jilli
now I'm off to bed, be back tomorrow at flip
took a kitchen break and that helped
going to take a sleep break now
YAY flosey -- and YAY for your record-breaking bridge win on Monday!
great write-up jilli
ty, I didn't realize we were doing so well at the time
although, there were 2 tables we took all 4 boards - but you don't know that until the end
thanks, and thanks to ata for the good icon suggestion -- very interesting
yes, it was especially interesting today
2 tables? I thought there were 3½
yes, but what I meant was we took all 4 boards from
from 2 tables
my head is numb jilli, I get my my thoughts out a bit jumbled
maybe should have said from 2 other pairs
I see (my head is numb too)
and maybe Irene would rather play with Joanne than me in future -- they do well!
phant peptide...Hello everyone
Whereas Irene and I have been bottom feeders lately :(
they did very well, Joanne is a good player
hi douglas
hello Douglas
perhaps time for a change jilli
but who would I play with?
Hello jilli, flosey
I know who I'd like, but she's taken
and doing fine
who's that?
Hello jilli, flosey
Gisela
D'oh! I didn't see that my last chat had registered...is it that kind of night?
yes, she's such a great laldy - good player, pleasant
wait until you look at the grid Douglas
we've had fun at AH
some found it easy, I didn't
but did finish
glad to hear that jilli
I didn't either -- depends on your vocabulary of unwords, I think
and you're playing the PP game with her too
The 7 isn't peptide, and it isn't protein, either, is it?
yes, but...
no, doug
it's de7 douglas
it's de7/46
an insecticide
ah, is that what it is? thanks jilli
just checked the ?, flosey
ah, was glad no one clued it that way
me too!
want a clue, doug?
one de4 I always get is the name of a friend
Uh, sure, it's new to me, thanks
which one -- de4/6 or 4/5?
4/5 is my friend
de + what you call yourself + 2000 lbs
if you say so...thanks
unusual name, flosey
yw -- that's the clue that got it for me
I thought so too, spells it differently than others
he's an artist
morning jilli, Douglas, flosey and the rest.
has a studio in N.Van, teaches there
hi sprite!
morning Sprite
Hello sprite
interesting icon, sprite :)
yours and flosey's too!
but I'm glad yours shows a boat, sprite -- or part of one, anyway!
thanks sprite, I found this one particularly interesting
kitty is trying to help me type
took me a little while to find a good one, I wanted a boat on it but this pic was protected. So I used my snap prog :)
did you get the "happy dog..." email I sent?
I stayed up a little too late, but I did get half of this rather odd grid...good night all...
snap prog?
aw sweet kitty jilli: let me check, haven't checked mail for a couple of days.
night doug
good night Douglas
jilli: it is like a little camera. You can 'snap' everything that is on a webpage, in the size you want it.
sleep well, Douglas
It was just entitled "Dog and cat" I think
let me get you the link, I think you would like this prog
sounds good, sprite!
http://www.soft25.com/review.asp?id=83 903 is a download link. It is freeware, and it is clean, small and incredibly effective.
ty sprite
will be back in about 10 minutes, kids are being picked up by mother of friend of Tim's for a day at a museum.
how nice for the kids
well, I'm really off to bed now, goodnight again
night flosey
back. Night flosey
sprite, I went to that link but can't seem to download it!
did you find the prog, jilli?
darn. Let me find you another.
this is the website of the person who made the prog. http://www.mirekw.com/winfreewar e/index.html
it says "Download Now" but when I clidk on it it just takes me to another page which says to download, and round and round...
thanks -- I'll try that
I will check. It might be about picking a mirror. Hold on.
ok, Mirek's site should work. Just click on MWSnap, then under the bold Download, click on Site 1
Hi
hi lady
How you?
Got it, sprite, nice little camera on my desktop now
hi herin
not a bad day for me so far. And kids are away for the day, so quiet. Nice. And you?
thanks, sprite
now I must take my sleepy head to bed -- night all!
great jilli. When you want to grab a picture, just hit the camera and then hit Any rect. area. You will get a + in stead of a cursor and you can drag it over the pic in just the size you want it. Click when it is perfect and it will be 'captured'. You can then either save it (with File), or copy it (with edit).
sleep well, dear friend.
Night OSGMA
Great. Really crappy day but turned out good. B.f bought em concert tickets
aw he's the best, lady. Glad your day turned out for the better.
ok, this is crazy. We can have lieu and all sorts of -ette words from french, but not enfin???
night OSGD too -- and *poof*
No idea.
enfin in french, means as much as ah well, whatever... it is a very popular word, lol.
Very irritated that I waited 2 weeks for a corset and the person made a goof on her ordering
indeed
The person that sold it to me says no refunds. But she made a 3inch error that is not my fault. I want it at the size she says. None of my friends are that small. I mean heck even the b.f isn't that small
if it is her mistake, she must make it right.
Yes well She says on another product small to medium at the same amount. I hate peole that think I don't know what I am doing. I am a 32 inch corset with a crap load of room
Just irritates me half to death that you trust people and I never ever buy on formums
I also know about consumer protection stuff
ok at last. Stupid vowelless sound words.
myy brain hurts
down to 5 now, but that P word took me ages.
Sprite you would have been proud of me. I actually rang the police in another state taht is currently dealing with perverts on Facebook. THey actually listened and they are doing actions
hey lady, wtg!
Well there is no point bitching if you are not going to do anything about it. Besides stuff is still up despite pleas from people demanding it to be taken down included the Premier of the state
very true
some of the stuff I have read I can not even repeat it even to the boi
better not. I hope it will be taken down soon.
Well I mean if I of the warped mind find it disturbing it must be
lol
fireflies. Must be off, have a nice evening, lady, and *hugs*
Ok I have the te 4 to ??? the garden what the heck is the other one please
errrr it rhymes with Unic**
the humanitarian organisation I mean
O for goodness sack
*chuckles* Bye dear!
Bye love thanks
gd morning. I'll bet you're all finished with this tiny grid!
hi ruby! It's surprising easy for the most part despite being so tiny. Have 5 left to find now :-)
hello sally, how are you?
it doesn't look so easy to me, but I just got here and just have the z word. Now I'll jump in!
Not all bad. Have done fire, chickens, cats, brought in wood and now sitting down for me!
S/b Not at all bad!
my husband almost set another fire last night! That's 3 and he tried to blame me
Oh ruby, is he going a bit senile do you think? Not being rude, just enquiring.
I think so. He wrote two important checks in pencil
I know it's really hard - have seen this with my mother, but it's really important to remember that he can't help it. It's an illness like the measles, but unfortunately it won't get better.
but then, again, I have only 8 words
Luckily most squares only have a few words each - not like seeing that there are 45 P's or something!
Very satisfying to grey them out.
I like the 45 p's better, lol
I'll be lucky if I find a dozen words
phone
Back. Most of them are fairly normal words, one or two babblets, and one or two weird ones.
this is the hardest one for me so far in all of my 2 months, lol
If you need any hints, just ask.
I'm up to a jolly 18!, better than I expected
:-) Think the trouble with these short ones is that you can't just let it flow and find lots of words from the same beginning.
into
yes, (sorry for the slip), yesterday had a lot of build-on words, lovely
Had that one :-(
two hints, please: the lonely u and the 7
Did you finish yesterday's? Would have liked to, but was playing Mah Jong all afternoon, then out in the evening, and stopped when I had 60 left. I was tired and these days I make myself stop rather than think I have to finish.
Someone clued the 7 in the chog. de + plus what you call yourself + a weight.
I never finish, but I've vowed to stop looking at my rankings. Up 'til today, I think I've been doing better
Haven't got the U yet, one of my last three.
thank you for the 7
I'm at half!
the U is to let the animals loose
un5?
Ah! TY sarah. Was trying from the wrong third letter.
Yes ruby
np
I'm hopeless!
Go down ruby
un + the animal prefix doesn't work. I'm stumped
It's a 5/14 ruby. It isn't unzoo which I tried!!
I liked unzoo! lol
Go down and round in a circle.
No worse than some of the words we've had. (unzoo)
Have you got it yet ruby?
I give up!
I've monkeyed in circles of utter nonsense
OK. un + what you should write a cheque with instead of pencil!
un + a writing tool
Wait for the penny to drop, sarah!
thank you both for being so patient with dopey me!!!!
lol
I take it you have it now :-)
finally
*Lies down to recover.
on floor, out of breath
lol
I think I'll go make lunch, at least THAT I can do!
Well I have probably my fastest ever fireworks. Any more clues?
Visitor anyway Must go
I'm too embarrassed to ask
bye sally
bye sarah
i'm not going anywhere
how many words do you have?
32
you?
this grid makes me feel really stupid
23 and that's with your help!
must make lunch, see you later
it don't like them this small
bye
I like the big juicy ones!
but I never finish them
hi everyone

These wee grids are useless
they are babble and hi
just watching the excitement of winning a second gold medal... we have never won 2 gold in a winter olympics
Good morning Babblers
Nobody is here except me and the lurkers?
hi scrabbler, coming out of lurk mode for my last 8
thought this would be easy, but it's not
Hi JBV, how are you? Oh, yes, these small grids are always tough.
i've only found 7, i always find these little ones really hard!
Hi Mia. I have found 13 and am struggling.
waiting for the next storm to hit, but i'm not worried - our tickets are paid, car is rented, we're going to Puerto Rico next Wednesday!
You must be so looking forward to that, JBV. Our winter storm warning starts in 15 min and lasts til Saturday monring
yes, we haven't had a vacation (going with my son also) for about 3 years
You NEED vacations--to renew, recharge...
Is the U word normal?
normal for babble, to let the animals out
un5 to free an animal
TY, ladies!

Too long for me. I bore easily. I think I had 90 left.
Sorry to hear about the mumphiness jmc

Maybe spring would help.
oh well mumphiness is a part of life
how did you know that sea?
I guess
spring would help for sure!
help with the E in the corner please
just felt because yesterdays was so huge, today would be just the opposite
well that does sometimes happen

sinus irrigation method - keeps the sinuses clear
ah
my old boy friend just snort water
*snorted
lucky he didn't drown himself. lol
salt water is much nicer, and snorting is grosser and more intrusie
i seem stuck on the last 7 I will take a break and maybe even go to work and bbl
intrusive
but i guess when you're talking about snot it's all kinda gross
snorting water up your would drown you lol
YUK!
i don't remember what kind of water
i remember finding him standing on his head on top the toilet seat to see if that helped the process
wow what a mistyped sentence!
interesting boyfriend..
*snorting water up your nose would not drown you
actually a complete a**hole
sounds like an interesting man. heh heh
maybe that's where the water should have gone!
thought it would be cool to have a threesome with his friend
OH Lord!
those rarely end well
Why are men such jerks sometimes?
later got me stone one night so he could pack up in peace and leave me and left me standing in a grocery store completely disoriented
I would say why are some people such jerks hego
jeez
i am afraid men do not have a monopoly
oh, lovely. i poop on his head
You are very PC jmc
but not pip. lol
no i really believe this sh*t hego lol!
poop away pip!
okay really go to go got a meeting at work

Good grief, the grid is 300 words shorter than yesterday ... that is some slide.

Bye folks. bbl

NM
em 5 = em + finish
missing an M. have me4 x2

ty, will look
hi all
not seeing the me6, may I have a clue pls
me + drink to excess
either it is a word I do not know or I am dense
I don't see it either peri
the drinker is more of a British term.
that is the part I am not getting
the me 6 means a square
Architechtural term: any of the square spaces, either decorated or plain, between triglyphs in the Doric frieze
Finished
See you all tomorrow, I hope.
found the me6 on morewords, new one for me
Boo me+ to4/5

Morning all. Figures. The day I don't feel like working, there's a tiny grid.
Hi Judi

YAWN. Fireworks.
Me + uranium iso****.

No excuse not to work now. See you kids tomorrow.
oh my goodness. a snow day, all this time on my hands and a 44 word grid! guess today is a day to get some things done around here
anyone got clue for the de7?
dont see the 7 from the clue judi. was that clue a 6 or 7?
no not yet,but will work on it now
judi's clue was the me6
clue for the un pls
any clues for the 7??
If you finish early and need a game fix.. go to wordsplay.com and try it out!
stuck at 26 words.
de+ I to **n*i** it but you have a booger
i love wordsplay. do it all the time.
ty tammy
de + ***e*rs fall to earth + consonant
oops de+ I hate to **n*i** it but you have a booger
jmc dont get the clue........is it L after the de????dont see in grid
hi mkg.. hi boor bear
i have no idea what that's about jmc!
oh got it!!!!!!!!! ty jmc
hi tammy
hi je -- well do you all know what falls to earth?
ah, wait
mkg what name do you play wordplays.. I am be my boggle buddy
i had tried one letter off that and quit! ty jmc
what falls to earth dorens?
not the best clue but at least funny
no, that was a clue i gave for the de7, and when they all said they didn't understand yours, i thought they might have understood mine... but i guess no one saw it
is that what it means?
(I thought you were about to tell a joke dorens)
9:42 am Dorens de + ***e*rs fall to earth + consonant
sorry i did not see your clue!
forget it, maybe i should just go back to bed!
*smack*
:) i figured that out... happens to me often as well
no no no dorens mea culpa!
can i go back to bed? i have a massive headache
no you aren't culpa... no one else saw it, including the people who asked for the clue
poor pip *makes some weak mint tea*
yes pippin, you may. (unless you're at work or something)
take the tea and curl up pip
I don't like this grid atall
well it's my day off but that means laundry and cleaning and cat at vet and want to get everything done so i can go rock climbing after
it has green tea too because caffeine helps the blood flow
oh i'm loading up on caffeine right now
and aspirin and nasal spray, that did it yesterday
well take some aspirin with the tea and you will be up and running (or climbing) in no time
poor pip
back in the old days my aunt used to drink massive amounts of strong coffee when she had migraines, and I think it was even before the medical profession figured out that it helps
sorry boo do you need clues?
I can't find any words
my mother did that an occasionally smoked a menthol cigarette
tiny grids like this are often deceptively difficult boo, but that is good.. we need some kind of challenge, don't we?
caffeine withdrawal gives me evil sinus headaches, so that is always my first instinct when the head hurts
not so much caffeine then pip so you don't get a rebound headache
any clues for the un?
i got the african grain all by myself but i am stuck with 5 left
nah, jmc, just trying to approach yesterday's levels
what are the stats boo?
un5/14
not sure
un5/14 - to let an animal out of its enclosure
let the pigs out of the sty, or the chickens out of the coop, or the rabbits out of the hutch

Hi, everyone, i'm pretty new to this, both the chat and the wordfinding. Any clues of i words gratefully received.
Hi guern....
Welcome to the world of babble
Welcome to the world of babble
the chat is just what you see......feel free to jump in whenever......and the cluing gets easier to understand with time!
If you in6 (plan) to get in4 playing babble regularly, there are a few it4s on the list of things to learn. One is that the system accepts a lot of strange words, like it6, the past tense of the it4 that is part of a list.
Oh my goodness, its going to take me several minutes to work on your clue fuquay
hi fuqua....thanx for that word.....lol
have fun with it, guernsey!
I'm sure it's perfectly obvious, but could you clue the U word for me, flask?
great, thanks, got them all now
let the farm animals out fuq
ty, wild!
yw
let the animals out.....using the bottom P
oooh, my favourite grain is in the grid - te4. Hello, people. :)
Hi DC
a wee clue please DC?
emeti
sorry, typed that in the wrong box
one more letter, and you'll have a word
te4 - an Ethiopian grain used to make injera
hoped it might be a word. Oh, thanks fqu, it is now.

OMG!!!!!.......what a clown I am!!

Hi All. Back for a few
hello flask
hi hego

de7/36 clue please?

bye guerns!
I have 10 left but got a lot of help this AM
bye girl

de + not you + weighs a lot
de7. de + not you + heavy weight
that's for you, flask, somebody gave it to me this AM
i thought that used an i. ty, ruby and hego
thanx ruby and hego.....
no i
you knew that word dc???
yes, that prefix means half - in French, but usually with an i as second vowel
apparently the de7 is an insecticide, though it sounds like half a heavy weight
i spoke French when i was young, but haven't really used it in 20 years, living where i do
hahah
oh, neat, thank you, fuquay
I have to use it every day and my husband never fails to remind me of my bad accent
however, he can't communicate and I can! hahah to him
IMHO, accent less important that speakig clearly enough to be comprehended. I learned in Quebeck, so French people sneer :)
So there!
exactly
too bad for them, too
:-D
firewords
yay, wildcat!
Gratz cat!
congrats, wild :)

Brilliant news Ruby!!!

ty everybody, it was scary
yes
you're kidding, tammy, no?
when you let the air out of a balloon, it goes pf4/11. No vowels
sound a cat might make in self defense
exchanging experience, that's what this is about, non?
Oh my lord.. I finally found it
clue.. no vowels
took me awhile also
wonderful news, ruby
that is so weird!
ty seain

minor spat is a ti** - now change the vowel
te4=a grain used to make injera

lol
ne5 please?
injera is an ethopian tortilla
how do you like your injera Bo?

nothing wrong with tinyurl, has worked well since I was introduced to in on babble.
de 7 = de 4 + heavy weight.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I said there was something cuter, and, hey, what's wrong with cuter?
Nothing at all :) Can't stop just wanted to give crossy a hug re his da.
It is a fine, fine thing you do.
all i want is something short and sweet that anyone can link with;)
And now you have options. Isn't life awesome?
i do 300 character links with a deft c=p,but i know it may be hard for some EA links are the worst:)
Fireworks ~ Thanks for the clues!
is there an M6?
WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO FOR PLU! YOU DID IT! WTG! *and the band plays the victory march*
indeed samantha
yaa for plu
i say, is there an M6? if not, may i have a clue for the P6 that isn't a po?

yes hursh
thanks, that's me done!
me + adhesive scotch **** (change first vowel)
well, ata, the grid's so small there isn't a lot of need to concentrate, y'know?
sometimes i don't need an actual clue, just confidence :)
confidence that a word is there, i mean.
but I have a headache ....
oh sry ata.
Oh dear. Ibuprofen and tea?
I have both :D
herbal or decaf so you don't metabolize the motrin too fast; unless it's a migraine... then cafeine is good
i take 2 tylenol 1,s have a tea and listen to meatloaf tunes;)

Apologies i was following on a thread from Ata no one here is a twit.
Oh SHEESH
we were just talking the other nite about when the US was considering going metric... learned it in school, but it's lost now
at the same time the US was considering having a six-day school week
5 ft., on the money, but used to be 5 ft 1 "
oh i feel so tall... I'm 5-1
def a giant!
no choice, here, have to go back and forth with metric measurement
the only time i'm using metric is when i'm helping kids with homework
send your kids over here for a crash course, lol
the only two math "things" are not fresh in mind are metric and the binary system
they're grandkids; my 8 yr old grandson called last nite to ask what a parallellogram is
im 5ft 11 inches myself,but i recall being over 6 feet in my youth,crossy is shrinking it seems;((
actually it was my son who called and asked why I remember this stuff and he doesn't lol
that's depressing, but I imagine my son might not know either
Gaaaaaaah! I've been one away from finishing for manymany minutes now. It's an E and it has seven letters; can anyone help?
Sorry, five letters
crossy, I think that we all shrink as we age, but our ears and noses grow!!!
only one i have is e+ to repair clothes
ruby, ears, noses, feet, chins, waist, hips, thighs, yeah, things continue to grow
i haven't shrunk yet, even w/osteoporosis of spine, but i've got rods in my spine and i believe that's why
where i want hair,there is none,and where i dont want,it is growing;(
no, not me, I['m just shrinking, especially my hips! lol ruefully
No, it's the E in the middle row. :-(
eeeeeuuuuuu nose and ear hair
row or column
aaarghhhh
column. Apparently I can't find it because my brain has melted. sheeesh.
lol wish it was that easy adhd..im from the auld country and i think i have some hobbit in me,toe hair is a pain
toe hair???

hello
hi dorens
Hello, Dorens
i am okay. i spent a week feeling kinda mumphy but okay now.
very nice babblerabble.. i like when your icons are pleasing to the eye
how about yourself BR?
re; that phantom br,o keep telling you to latin up that ending and you may get more lol
I had some med adjustments ... still sorting those out but other than that I think life can be a discouraging word at times.
now there's a wod for enable, je.. mumphy?
i find life generally beats the alternative
woRd. well babrab, let's see what we can do to encourage you.
it is a family word dorens -- mumphy
means about what it sounds like
1 left... i'm stumped on the U word
let the dogs out adhd un***
I had a very special, truly wonderful former student who passed away tuesday night. spent yesterday at the high school helping out her friends., very tightknit group.. good friends. they used to eat lunch with me twice a week. very very sad
1 word left
un +sty
oh, go j!
how sad dorens
the secret of med adjustment br is to move the 4 primary pills around on the sechedule untill you se colour trails,then shift the blue pill to just before bed time
dang it all why an i not gittin it?
im sorry for the loss of your student dorens:(
Death can be so permanent
un + a writing implement
oh gosh my last word was a fish! in6
oh no i left for a min... what happened? a death?
thought i cried it out yesterday... still teary today though. the funeral will be extremely rough. so embrace your life, bab, no matter how imperfect.. you still feel, and help others, and see beauty, don't you?
congrats, jmc
fw tx guys
pretty colors
yay j
*hands dorens a hanky*
whoo hoo adhd
congrats, ADHD
ty, j, yay adhd!
it is a hard thing to get over dorens
I am okay, Dorens
just read back over chat... so sry dorens.
UPS here... brb
im on the 4th year of my second life,so im going to wring every drop of fun and love i can out of this one..as a matter of fact when it is my time i aim to make a pass at a pretty girl before i go
i think you are too, bab thanks adhd
of all things, I get irritated at 44 word grids when I want much larger ones
as a matter of fact i take the view of hunter adams with this ive made arrangement to have a slot machine installed at my grave site so the proceeds can keep my wife in reading material and chocolates
funny thing is i think i'm finding this one more challenging than some of the 144 grids.
i'm having a tough time with the first po4
tennyson
is that a clue?
back for a little bit for clues... need any?
I could use some help with the Ds
first po4?
po4/5 one who writes rhymes (not always rhyming i know)
oh gosh i should've gotten that one
*slaps self*
*hands towel to wipe off fish slime*
and now i feel sheepish asking for help with the pf
so disappointed today... flooding rains, stuck home, looking forward to a big grid :(
pf = fart sound
ah yes... i somehow thought of that but didn't see it in the grid
one of many sounds of flatus
pf = :-P
de4=de+not you but **
de7 add a heavy weight
de4 change the second consonant
ty, got the two de4 but not the de7
add a heavy weight to the first de4
demeton
oops
wrong spot
thats the one hawk
now to the pb with you!
sorry and thanks
oooooooooo oooooooo

whoo hooo rows!
there. LOL :D
hehe
thanks guys
WOOOOO HOOOOOO FOR ROWS!!! YOU DID IT!! WTG!!! *the band starts the victory song*
i hope i finish this cause i love watching adhd lose her mind;))
what's today's icon theme?
rofl
who decides the icon theme?
crossie, my mind was lost decades ago!
we all do, ish
don't know hawk
sprite is the final arbiter
Narrow Boat Art / Canal Art/ Barge Art is the icon theme for today
isn't there one babbler who takes the ideas and posts them in a list?
suggested by our very own ata!
that would be sprite
(take a bow ata!)
cool
im sorry ata,do you put up a list as well?
no she just made the suggestion on the icon theme today
brb
cool
no no, I was just here when Sprite asked for suggestions!
And narrow boat art seemed a cool idea!
well, i changed my icon to reflect today's theme. It's a picture my sister took.
my idea of a narrow boat is a nice cedar strip canoe, packing a lunch,a wine skin of beverage of a adult nature and 100 miles of un paddled river:)
sounds like the boundary waters area, cross
fine, but you shouldn't paddle alcoholised!!
sokay,i always bring along a designated paddler;)
thats ok then :P A perfect day!
canal narrow boat life is a very strange culture here
ata up in out area we have a wonderful course call the trent severn waterway,look it up it is amazing!! it is also a historical monument of sorts as most of the locks were installed at or near the turn of the century
omg crossie, you're my kinda guy!
the trent severn?
that's hilarious!
we have the Severn Trent!
lol
2nd biggest river system in the UK
wild
tyvm adhd;)
but you have the St Lawrence that stamps on anything in the UK!
i prefer to canoe with mild alcohol accoutrement myself
love canoeing, but with my personality, i really took to ww rafting
the good thing about our trent lift lock systen is you can do the entire course in a canoe or a 50 foot cabin cruiser
the UK is too small to have a really long water way
sea kayaking is wonderful also
i like both canoeing and ww rafting
i'm jealous crossie
ww canoeing is fun too
lol adhd,the way i handle a coane will remind you of ww rafting lol
lol cross
damn typos
rofl
nuts.... i really gotta go; see y'all at the flip (if I'm awake)
I love canoeing too. We have the Thames! It's kinda big. LOL
my favorite though is going into some little lake in algonquin park,one you have to fly onto woth the canoe strapped between the pontoons of the plane,you get dropped off just before dawn,and as you glide out into the lake and its tributarys the mist begins to move and break up on the surface,the only sound you hear is the water droplets raining off the paddle.suddenly as the first touch of sunlight warms your face,the mist rises up on the water and a loon calls...perfection....sorry corossy rambles..lol
how wonderful! ramble away!
for a short time as dawn breaks and the water fog holds,you seem not so much as paddling on the water as you are slowly floating above the earth on some river in the sky,your paddle vanishes into the fog and the water lets you borrow its strength to propel you along your way
good lord must need my meds..brb lol
loool
sounds perfect though
best medicine i know of ata:)
mine is diving, but similar concept
are there actually any words in this grid?
i only see phantoms!
tend
crud - sorry - but at least i found a word!
lol,off to the pb with you
ok - maybe i'll find more words in the pb!
Huh we go from staggeringly huge puzzle to 44 words? Maybe Babble maker wore itself out yesterday?
his word organ grinder broke
ptrooie is SO a word!
*ptooie*
ptooie is a word, agreed
what are the stats for the U?
crossy is in the midst of trying to perfect bacon tofu!!:)
5/14
how can you have bacon tofu???!!
oooh I see, it goes round *that* way. ty!
just let me work my magic
soya bacon is available here, i rather like it, but not as well as the soya sausage. All products of Morningstar Farms
crossy shudders@ soya bacon
*groan* nicoise salad is on TV, and I can't eat it :(
i tried that turkey bacon once and figured that the salt content would kill me faster than eating regular bacon
you killed the chat log too :D
yay! dead chog!
sniff....
oo lovely pic, dc
ta, ata. i'd had enough of he snow. do use the link to see it full-size
why is it that a 6 pound cat can jump on your lap accuratly stomp on your cojones with that tiny paw..every..single..time..arrg!
just gorgeous, and yes, utterly sick of winter weather. Our snow has gone, but we've had constant constant rain for what seems like forever
I finally got out to the beach for 2 hours yesterday in a moment of sunshine
cats are clever!
indeed they are ata,this one just learned how to fly this very second lol
lol :D Sily's recently discovered that being under my duvet with me is the best place ever. I keep waking up with warm fluffballs by my knees or arms
my wife used to wake up with warm fluff balls like that..then she made me trim my beard;)
:P
talk of the devil, hello, Silverclaw
apparetly my shoulder is a good place to sit
Are there really only 44 words, or did I do half the grid in my sleep earlier?
really only 44, Nancy, hello
howdy nb
evening, all :) it's quiet, but then I'm usually on later. how is everyone?
with invisible E words
invisible ALL words. I'm out of practise these days...I only come here to talk
me too really lol
lol nb,there are 44 real words and 1,215 phantoms
I have 2 left
im sitting here with 13 left
i refuse to list
lol me too
I want ennui, petition, and a long drink.
Oooh, go Ata!
crossy makes nb a ture home made long island iced tea..non of that pre made mix;))
can I have one too?
It's a brave soul who mixes a drink for the discerning bartender such as myself, Crossy ;)
of course..lets see...1/2 oz each of gin,rum,vodka and tripple sec...3/4 fill the glass with pink lemonade..add a splash of coke and top with crused ice and garnish with a slice of lemon
where are the best drinks in Soho now, NB?
how did i do nb
in my experience, it's not what you put in the glass, it's the panache with which you put it there ;)
Of course, Ata, they're the ones that I make, but I don't think my place would really be your sort of scene ;)
i use thos tall skinny frosted glasses
are you saying I'm old or something? :P
i think he's saying you're straight
uh oh...
your not old ata,your experienced :)
hmmmmmmm lol
me,im 18 with several decades of experience
it was Seain's, Ata :) age is nothing. I need more of it.
I think there's only a few gay bars I haven't been into in Soho and those are the ones where the bouncer people glare at you and refuse to let you in with boobs
but you're right, my friends mostly hang around in Camden fetish clubs
Oh, any place as uptight as that isn't worth it anyway.
mm guess im out then lol
exactly LOL
not exactly to Crossy!!
Oh, Camden's a great place. I love those sort of places around London! You get the feeling that anything goes.
there's a fab alcohol shop in Soho, Crossy, you'd love it. It sells weird and wonderful *stuff*, and very very very good spirits
and hundreds of cool miniatures
i still say they are pecs,wife calls them man boobs or moobs..she is an evil woman..at least mine are not at my waist hehe lol....
at least women can wear bras :D
lol
in fact, I think I need to go to the nice shop tomorrow. It's about the only place in London you can buy decent tequila
i like the ones with the algave worm
I like any one that actually tastes good and isn't some dodgy cheap tourist knock-off - which we normally get!
I love Patron, but it's soooo expensive here
when bartending i used to save the worms and make a shooter out of them..things sold at a premium too..people are funny
Oh, I'm so embarrassed now. I had no idea I'd met my match, Crossy!
it's about £50 for a bottle of Patron Silver here *faint*
that's more than twice as expensive as here, ata
im sorry nb,you dont know the worm shooter? i call mine the slitherer
I *know*! It's such a blooming rip-off, I refuse to buy any
it's about $45 a bottle here
here we can get the good absinthe,but it is so expensive ive yet to buy any
of course, it comes by truck from Mexico, and your gov't may have higher levies for mexican goods than we do.
I'm sure they do! now, absinthe we *can* get!
cost of Absinthe his plummeted around here of late, and more types are available now
85 dollars for a bottle slightly smaller than a 26er!!
just don't try the red absinthe. I can't think of a word to describe how it tastes but "hell" comes close. Ugh, ugh, ugh.
I think it's between £20-30 a bottle here. For a 75cl ish decentish bottle
red?? ugh..has to be the good stuff with the wormwood..the green fairy
all absinthe is pretty much hell!
last store we were in wanted $40 or so per pottle.
Lupo did shooters of absinthe adn sour apple. That was quite good
Yup. On holiday we drank some cheap 'n cheerful stuff in Amsterdam. Mind you, the drink wasn't really the point there.
you have to pur absinthe through a ice cube into half a glass of branch water then fire the cube to caramelize it and drop it onto the drink
sugar cube*
into*
omg, NB, did you have that disgusting old jenniver / gin stuff in Amsterdam? makes absinthe seem gorgeous
Wish I could remember enough to tell you Ata :D though actually, it's kind of depressing to see all the english tourists stoned off their faces in amsterdam...all the locals must be so tolerant
they say samuel clemmons enjoyed absinthe
LOL. I only remember it clearly cos we brought some home and *then* tried it. OMG.
LOL Ata
Don't do what I do though, don't go in winter, it makes those canals about a thousand times more uncomfortable when you take a tumble into one
*did, not do. Losing my tenses in a rush of joy over the memories.
looool. I've been once in summer and once in winter. Don't remember that much about the winter one though
If I call the babblers my new adopted "parents", Ata, you are the worst influence ;)
oh well, that's good. Can Haz be a bad influence, too? She desperately wants to be a bad influence on someone LOL!
whatever you do dont let me be an influence,i promised the police i would never do that again
LOL Ata & Crossy. it's alright, nobody could be a worse influence than Leo. He bought those damn Amsterdam tickets...
you're safely across the pond
44 words? I guess it's ok that I'm starting late!
you would think so wouldnt you kaplan? ive been at 13 left for an hour now lol
You say that Kaplan...I got sucked into the chat. I have nine whole words to call my own.
and I cannot find my last 2
once absinthe was mentioned,we got lost in the memories that we cannot recall;0
people complain about the drinking and drug-taking of the youth of today...it's nice to know the generation before were just as naughty
they were worse, NB!
good afternoon everybody! happy babbler here - early dismissal from work (because of snow), probable snow day tomorrow, tickets to Puerto Rico bought and paid for!!!
hey be nice now nb! i did give up the chemicals:)
Yeah, it's monkey time
oh, wonderful, jbv!
oh I don't know about that Ata ;)
they certainly tried :D
here in the US, my generation are the 1st since Prohibition to drink as much alcohol as pre-Prohibition.
i knew it was time to give up the drugs..it was 1977 or so and i woke up to discover i had been looking at a greatfull dead poster for 3 days
but do you regret that time?
hopefully that was a good trip, crossy
LOL Crossy!!
I managed to make it through the 60s and 70s relatively chemical free - they were great times, tho
dn,cannot recall it now..still have the poster..cannot read the damn thing
LOL crossy
cool, jbv
I'd have loved to be alive in the 60s. I was born way too late
its in all those big fat psycadellic letters they used to use
my son says the same thing, Ata - he is now wearing tie dye and peace signs
ill ask the doc for some prozac,maybe i can read it then;0
the sixties can easily be created with a tent and a lava lamp
and some acid
the 60,s can be recreated with a 66 vw beetle,4 groupies,a bag of skunk weed and a case of slim jims
my 1st car was a '74 super beetle
yeah ... its the acid that's harder to recreate!
Yesterday I chatted too much- today I am chilling, watching the bad judges on TV after work- have had clients straight through till 3
and there's me trying to keep the chat child friendly. I had a sixties day once. I stopped for five minutes on a path to let a hedgehog cross...turns out it was a pine cone.
i haD one dc!! the one with the hydromatic tranny??
LOL, NB :)
it4 is the word i'm least likely to find in any grid
I always get stuck on an anagram of it starting em
the em4 i usually find, for some reason.
mine was purple,it had no second grea so you have to red line the thing and slam it into 3rd;)
strange, isn't it
had no heat either now i think of it....
mine was fully manual, but it would pop out of reverse so i had to lock my elbow to hold it in R when needed
the passenger side heat exchange box in mine was dead.
used to drive around with the window open and a scraper in my left hand
mine was beige
lol..those were great cas...
cars
the lack of AC had me stopping at the local hardware store to clear my lungs from the pollution halfway home.
yes, i loved my bug.
i didnt have to worry bout that as it was minus 444 inside and out
44*
i can still hear the sound of that 1600cc engine gearing up:))
my last word was something I refused to try for about 2 hours cos it sounded silly
yeah, me too :)
finally done. the Es and Fs were a challenge
ya for dc!!
congrats ata and crossy
oh im not done yet dc
fi 5?
oooh well done Ata, Seain!!
ah, my ba d:)

I am fine, had a headache all day, it is finally going away and we are not getting as much snow as anticipated
there is a pf4/11 tho
LOLOL min.... never even thought of interpreting that to mean past tense in this instance - too funny!
2 phantom words for me today are defend and finite.
ty peri
yw
any more clues needed

I didn't get much snow today, but I think it will come tomorrow. Today I just had freezing rain&little snow

Goodbye periwinkle!I will see you tomorrow in the log
brb...
how can something so small suck so hard?
has been not bad so far for me... down to 7... having to think quite a bit now though
are there are lot of freak words?
Hello EspritdJean!How are you doing?Welcome to grid
hya min
hmmmm.... a few
ep4 is weird
So is ep5, lol
de7, but i knew it
then a few other weird ones, but they are common babblets
but like i said, i still have 6 to go
definition?
well, I do not have ep5 yet - LOL
I've got 17 words and now I see nothing
def for de7 is hard... it is an insecticide
de+ opp of you + 2000 lbs
good clue m'dear
ah, got the ep5... just extend the 4
ty
Here is my story for today. I te 4/5 to be interested in Hollywood gossip, but won't get in 4/4 all the hype about Tiger Woods.I could never defe4/7 his actions I would not say he's a fi5/18, but he is a big jerk. He in 6/21 to me4/6 his reputation which is why he had that press conference. Media is always looking to op 4/5 a can of worms, but I believe they need to move on 4/4 more important news. I wish I had a magic po 6/21 that would make him go pf 4/11&I'd never have to see him on tv again. There is my story of clues for toni4/4.On that no4/4,I'm off to take a short break.
ok, i think i will list now... 4 left
oh wait, i will read min's story first!
Go kje go!
excellent story min... unfortunately i have all those. I do however notice that you did not try to work in those ep words - LOL
Some words just do not fit no matter how you try kje
yes, i imagine so
i am down to 1 now
got the ep's they are stooooopid
I think this grid wasn't too bad b/c it 3/4 of it is 4 letter words... I excel at 4 letter words
sure, if they are REAL words
and done!!!!!
anybody ever lay chicktionary?
Congratulations kje on your fireworks! Hooray for U!
well... 4 letter words are easier to monkey.. I excel at making up 4 letter words - LOL
last word was me6.... another weird one
I have never laid anything, jeanius - LOL
hmm...gonna let that one go kje, sometimes ya gotta let the ripe ones drop
me6 = me + imbibe to excess
o, I meant "play" chicktionary
no, never heard of it
imbibe is a good word... fun to say
it's funny, you get letters on eggs and the chickens are clucking the whole time you are playing, it's timed, and if you make a mistake they squawk and when it's over they make a big fart sound
it cracks me up every single time
LOL EspritdJean! Where can I access this game?
go to bing games and look for chicktionary
or club bing games
the sound effects crack me up
it shows you how 3,4,5,6 letterwords you need and there's one 7 ltr
so you just type them in as fast as you see them
How long does each game take to play EspritdJean?
I think it's a 2 min timer
oh i have played that... different name.... but yes, it is hilarious!!!
it's the razzberry at the end that gets me
I am so easily amused
clue for the c word?
i feel cheated...
why TO? cuz of little grid
yes
snowing like crazy here
That ca 4/5 word is ca** and abel EspritdJean.
ok I'm sick of this grid, going to play with the chickens
oh man, I didn't even see that!
Hi 72 Temple Owl! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
I already can't get the first word on the chictionary.

Hello Dorens!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Go Dorens go!
look up. that helps.
you mean go to the grid?
i looked up and found three words. the tendency is to look down and across
Do I have to be a member to play "chicktionary"?The screen I got doesn't do anything when I try to type.
hi all
finish quick today with help
what letters are left dorens, bet i can clue your missing ones for you
Hello Joanne123!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
ok. my penultimate word was po6/21, don't know why it was so hard to find.. and now, believe it or not i am missing a four letter n word. i should be able to find that, wouldn't you think?
hi min and ty
Congratulations on finishing early Joanne123!HooraY

pf4 always gets me.was my last word
WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! DORENS

WOOHOO JOANNE!!!
congrats dorens
ty kje
yay joanne!
po6 - pan or kettle + charged particle
oh no owl. and it isn't obvious, just a word i think i should have found earlier, before i started thinking i needed a list. kept looking for a word with that ending, but didn't see that one
Now I'm playing the chicktionary game and I hear no sound effects.So what am I doing wrong EspritdJean?
i have time on my hands...and crappy small one
is the sound turned on on your computer min?
i think i am conceding out lex game
ty to
you really don't enjoy it owl?
Yes, I even turned it up louder and still no sound kje.
OK, I leave in search of food
well, min... that's all i got for ya - LOL - sorry
i can't make a word to save my life. i can't say i enjoy that. more than jus tlosing i would hope
byeee kje
Goodbye kje! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log!
enjoy your meal kj.
ty poof
There is often a toggle control for sound
well owl, sometimes i need to forfeit a turn and switch some letters
Bye, kje

Hi, TO
hi jellen
and hi to Joanne
hello jellen. time to check on dinner bbs
just got the phone call.. no school tomorrow either
hi jellen. do you need any clues before i go?
hi dorens! nice timing - I am waiting for my call, but we do not have much snow here yet
we had plenty today, and it was a very thick heavy lush snow... looks nice, but heavy shoveling
No, thanks, finisher earlier...
er, finished
Hi, JBV
whenever they say higher accumulations north and west of the city... well, that's where i work, so it's usually us!
we had early dismissal, drove home in heavy snow, but not much accumulation
hi Jellen!
today was the last snow day worked into our schedule, so beginning tomorrow we are eating into our spring vacation
oh is that how they do it? here we would have to add a day in June
I am taking 5 personal vacation days (left over from last summer) and going to Puerto Rico next week!!
we used to add in June, but these days we are going so late into June as it is
Ooh, sounds nice, JBV!
can't wait!
oh how wonderful... where will you be staying?
one night with my sister-in-law, then we have a friend's apartment in Luquillo - they're not home, they're in California
traveling with my husband and son, we haven't had a vacation together in 3 years
lucky. i love it there.. the food kiosks in Luquillo are so much fun, and el Verde. have a great time!
Have fun everyone...gotta go...
exactly right, dorens - not so easy to stay on the weight watchers program down there
hello babble friends! oh, dear, did I miss jellen? booo!
it is vacation joanne. just enjoy it and walk and run or whatever
hi trif
I think I'll change my icon back to my rain forest photo... get myself in the mood

there's an observation tower in El Yunque, this photo was taken from there
now i'm thinking i want to go to Puerto Rico during my april vacation... jeremy & family are going tp vieques inMarch and he asked if i could join them, but it we don't have the same time
do you want me to talk you into it?
lots of great seafood restaurants around fajardo
el yunque... i said el verde, didn't I? but you knew what i meant. i love it there... once had a boyfriend from PR and we went often
need a quick break - be back in a bit
ken plays golf there with his buddies sometimes, and said he'd sneak me along on one of their jaunts, but i don't think they want to go during school vacations when the air fares are jacked up and everywhere is filled with kids
3 in snow here- all the schools jumped the gun and closed and there was no issue till after 6 pm

Hello everyone. Was just grinning at TO's description of 'miscalculated portion'. My stomach usually tells me when I've eaten enough.
tijani, I thought your icon was mt. rushmore for a minute, until I looked at it closely. lol!
Happy Birthday to Dan. I'll just nip off to see what the theme for 26th Feb. (which it is here now) is. Erk! What terrible grammar. Sorry!
May I please have a clue for ne5-12? Thanks.
ne + not bottom
Oh word fromthe grid day. Shame I missed Thirsday's theme of narrowboat art, 'cos I'm really in4 that.
Thanks so much, tijani.
Shame I just missed the home keys and typed to the right on some words. LOL
Coming back to your pc after someone else has been using it is like getting into your car after same; you have to adjust the seat, the steering wheel/keyboard, the mirrors/monitor, speakers, everything.
Mouse mat and mouse also need adjusting.
So does your drinks coaster.
bless you tijani - 4 left!
last one....un5-14 please.....thanks
Heyas kids ..
gap - if you remove the implement someone is writing with, you may have un5/14ed them.
Or, if you let animals out of confinement, you un5.14 them.
Hi Torg.
Thanks, Jacula. Thanks for your help everyone. See you at the flip.
y/w Gapeach and well done.
Yay peach!
hey evey1

Heya chelseaa .. Go Trifs!
hey,torgone

go trif go
i dont av a cluee1
go trifs!
oh i gt 1
FIREWORKS!!!! woot woot
so dan, do you have a new kitty?
yay trif!
whoooo hooooooo TRIF!!
Yay Trifs!
lbd no - we've seen 2 kitties, neither really clicked
I had a mild reaction to the second one
if the universe doesn't bring us a cat, we may look again in a year or two
uh oh. reactions are not good.
yes, you're both going to be really really busy in a few months
indeed - counting diapers and not sleeping :-)
yup, worse than 8 puppies in your closet!
hahahahaha
can I get the points for the lower e that isn't ep4/6?
Dan - don't go looking for your cat at a shelter. Your cat will come to you when the time is right.
ep5.16, dan
ep5.16
aha tx
Cats just 'know' when to arrive.
dan2, do check carefully with your ob before adopting a cat - cat and preggers doesn't always mix. I was not allowed anywhere NEAR our cats, esp the litter box, when I was pregs
yes we know the drill. Melanie's cat passed away early in her pregnancy
You can look for a dog in a shelter, but cats, like I said, arrive when the time suits both parties. You can rely on them to do that.
Oh, I am sorry to hear about that, dan, but it actually means Melanie was more likely to have already had whatever it is cats give you, I forget already. not pasturella, something else
toxiplasmosis, maybe?
toxoplasmosis
Toxoplamosis.
and she had no litter box duty since we started trying
yes, that is the one -- forgive my spelling.
haha I said "duty"
Pregnant women should not clean out litter trays or pick up cats.
oh, well done you! one of the best reasons to get pregnant, if you ask me!
Too late to say that now, though. So sorry to hear of the tragedy, Dan.
dan, now you need to prepare yourself for diaper dooty! lol
if melanie goes past dates, you will be doing "booty duty"
do i see a birthday boy?
lbd - Oh, that's such 'fun'! Oddly enough, it can be stomached when it's your own child. You still heave if called upon to change someone else's baby's nappy though.
Trif - is that a coy way of mentioned one of the ways that are supposed to bring on the birth?
yup.
*mentioning, I meant.
I could NOT believe it when the doctor suggested it! I think I sighed and said "oh, give me some pulley and a few ropes, I will see what I can do...."
tmi
Trif - LOL. Know what you mean.
bbl
TO - no it's not. It's a funny fact of life.
and with that, I MUST climb mt. washmore. Niters!
'Night Trif.
so are lots of things.
Goodbye Trifioso! I will see you tomorrow in the chog
Niters Trifs ..
night, night, trif
Yes, TO, Doesn't talking about them bring amusement and some levity to life at times?
Hi Min. Welcome to the grid.
if you say so. night, i am listing and a to zing
Hi Jacula! How are you? I've been here off&on today.
*No graphic information was given and no 'rude' words said in the making of this conversation.*
night, TO
'Night, TO. Sleep well. See you again.
Min - I'm fine, thanks. Looking forward to a theatre event this evening. Two cooks, who are very amusing, on a theatre run.
How're things with you, Min?
I took the day off from work today because I did not feel like driving to&from work in sleet&freezing rain.
I can understand that, Min. Weather is more extreme on your side of 'The Pond'.
Earlier, we watched the documentary 'Earth Without The Moon' that I'd SKYplussed from National Geographic channel. It would have been good if they'd cut out all the reiterating,'cos TV people think we are all morons with the attention spans of goldfish now, but in between all the crap and the graphics they just can't seem to help themselves from including now was some interesting information. Having said that, the only thing I learned from the programme was exactly how the tides work. I knew the sun was going to engulf us before the moon moved far enough away to cause problems. Maybe that's because I used to read Reader's Digest back in the 70s?
Anyway, nothing for anyone here to worry about. It won't happen in our lifetimes or those of our grandchildren or great, great, great granchildren.
Man will probably end life as we know it beore the solar system does.
I realise that I'm talking, if anyone is listening, to a mostly USA audience now and that most of you will have no interest in what's been said in the EU talks. However, here's what the UKIP rep said to the new president (ex PM of Belgium) in the talks... http://tinyurl.com/ybw9mbn
Hi Jacula, just watched the U.S./Canada women's hockey. 2 to 0 with Canada taking the gold. It means soooo much that they get the gold in hockey. Also listened to the U.S. president and others talking about health care what an impass. Also trying to find 8 more words.
That film fell short of the Dutch version my son's g/f gave to me ealrier in the from Netherlands news. He then went on to say, 'The PM of Belgium, which is a non-country.'
hello Mother! I just logged in between revisions... printed off what I hope is the penultimate version!!!
oh my, this is a small grid. (((hugs Dr G))) maybe I can do this one between work sprints?
Hi, hope your day went well. I had a nice visit with sons at lunch.
Stidmere - Hello. If I can help just yell.
hey all!!! *distributes slices of choclit cheezcake tom made me*
I had a VERY good day! got to interview several people, and worked a little with the kids! and ... pretty much also had time to revise the paper in between.
glad your luncheon was nice. Hope they are well.
hi all
Jacula, the second de 7, 36 is giving fits as is the ep 5, 16.
hey jmc!
Hi stid. I was glad to do this grid in just 10 mins in the UK morning because a fan in my computer was sticking and making an awful racket. I had to hit the back of the tower 4 times to shut it up. It's sorted for now though.
ooooh chocklit cheesecake! came in just in time! Hi stiddy, hi stidgmere!
We finished the puddings for our teatime.
de+not you but **+ heavy weight
mmmm. puddings!
10 minutes! Jacula, what an amazing Babbler!
hey LBD!
wow, that's swift, jac. well done!
took longer that 10 minutes that's for sure
I am down to 40 words.
ty for de jmc!
hi lebd
stidgmere - I was desperate. That lends speed!
*lbd
i saw how small the grid was and really tried to stretch it out...i was procrastinating doing mid-term evals
Hi jmc!
Desperate can just lead to stumbling fingers also!
ep4 plus another letter
you can do my END-term paper if you like LBD... ;-)
Well, I have had a quiet day and some words came but others have been stubborn.
would love to, stid! ;-)
brb, need tea
I asked for only a very few clues so as not to rush it so much
ah, they must be 15-year old words... LOL *gasp choke giggle* SO glad it's taekwondo evening. I have a quiet house until close to 8
stidgmere - not when you've just got up and have a huge shot of tea. Best time of the day, so long as no onw wants to natter at you at the same time.
wow someone is feeling cranky with their kids
hi all!
ah, he has missed TKD for three weeks in a row, jmc, he was absouately climbing the walls.
hi nrkii
the ep 5, 16 is my next nemisis. I like mornings too Jacula. It is one time of day when anything seems possible as the light unfolds.
hey nrk! you were sorta in the grid yesterday! (nerkie)
I had to skip yesterday -- too much grid, too little time
Heya nerky .
sorry I missed me
U help please?
hey tor!
TOR!! Come sailing!
ep4 plus consonant
I wasn't allowed tea before my ecg and treadmill tests earlier this week. I couldn't go without tea, and guessd correctly that they should have said that de-caff was fine. I got some and drank it but it lacked something - the caffeine, I guess.
hi torg
can someone clue the me6?
YAY! The Canadian women did it again -- GOLD in Hockey :-D
me+not bottom+vowelll
me6 = me + a homonym for a beige color
Stidge - I'm a night owl, but have at times been forced into being a lark, so I do see your point.
wow wtg canada (but too bad for U.S.)
the U please?
thanks all, that's firewords
let the animals out nrkii
Well done, Dan.
un5 - release the animals from the enclosure
whoo hooo dan
yay dan, and happy birthday!
left column all grey!
YAY dan!!!!
sorry about that, jmc (but not very, lol!)
thanks dan!
that's the last grid of my 30's :-)
no reason to be sorry jill!
if the U.S. can't have the gold then I want Canada to have it
okay, down to 25. back later to visit a bit more. (((hugs))) *poof in a flurry of paper, red pen marks and choclits*
what is tomorrow your birthday dan?
thanks, jmc, and it's mutual
*ducking paper and pens and choclits*
gosh it has gotten so windy here!
I guess it's typically Canadian to apologise for winning, lol!
"gusts at 65 mph"
Anyone clue the ep 5?
no need to apologize, eh.
*giggle*
our lovely weather is supposed to end tomorrow with wind and rain :(
several time stidmere
like the ep4 with a final consonant stidg
Where are you jm? in the east whre it is so snowy? No apologies needed for a fine hockey game!! Go jilli
EP4 + consonant
ep + big laugh syllable
snow missed us in DC (this time) but the wind is supergusty
*jumps up and down and waves to get stigmere's attention*
Hi Jilli.
in DC
so is tomorrow your birthday dan?
Hi gmere -- Have another cons at the end of ep4, eH?
What is a ep 5 16? I don't know what the ep 4 is either.
whoooooo hooooooo DAN2!!!
I see we both misread something on FB, both reading it in a medical way. That was funny.
sorry is it eH rather than eh?
ep + laugh syllable stidgmere
piddle and quat! This is the closest I've ever come to finishing a grid yet (16 words left) and now I've gotta go home and walk the dog and grade papers. I wonder if the dog knows any words that start with pf. Hmmmm.
gotcha, jac -- lol!
so may i assume, Canada's women's hockey team took the game?
2-0 Canucks
go tfg go!
whoa! gotta watch skating!
[blush] language dan
You have my attention jmc! ty for the clue The pf is a nice expression you might want to use when you are exasperated tfgrri.
Am I the only one here who has not watched a minute of the Winter Olympics?
pf=:-p
dan2, not Canucks (an NHL men's team) -- WOMEN again!
Jacula ... I haven't either
i watched a couple of minutes at MIL hospital room
the me 6 and the ne 5 are the next words on my hit list.
probably, jac -- because of the horrible sour grapes in your rags over there?
*zap* jill!
I know the Canucks are a men's team, but isn't it also a generic term?
what a pity, nrk
I thought the opening ceremony for the Olympics was absolutely fantastic!!!
ne5, ne + not bottom
Jilli? Don't read the sports section of newspapers, so, no, not that.
as Yankees for US folks?
me6= me+not bottom+vowell
not really jilli... started a new job and trying to keep up, so can't afford any TV right now
Just not really interesting in sport of any kind.
if this hadn't been such a small grid, there'd be no babble for me either
*interested
as a sixth generation (or there abouts) southerner i reject being called a yankee
I kind of regret not seeing the skating
how goes the new job, nrkii?
but I'll get over it super-fast
whoo hoo nrkii on the job!
yeah, but I still have to survive it, jmc, and they are making that a challenge
i've only watched the recaps of the events.
ladies' skating finals are on now, probably repeated later on NBC
speaking of which, gotta go back to work now... night all!
*makes nrkii a cup of tea and pushes over an ottoman for her feet*
jmc - fair enough. Though I notice that yankee seems to apply pretty broadly to "anyone who lives north of me"
Yankees, Red Injuns, Canucks, Whining Poms... the insults go on, according to the Politically Correct brigade.
ty jm and ib for those two pesky words. That leaves the po 6 as my last word.
night, nrkii
Love po7 Number 9
bye nrkii *standing holding the tea*
g'mere -- a witches' brew, perhaps?
ty jmcnrick!! Fireworks for me for the first time a long time.
sorry, was searching for bourbon to add to that tea... thanks jmc
poof
whooooooo hooooooo stidgmere!
Netop is sooooo NOT a word! Who makes these things? It's not even in the the ? dictionary. Oh and stidg, exasperated like pfshi* this grid is hard?
Now byebye -- skating's on for the last time...
that's the problem with my being out of bourbon
hang in there tfg
Well, some obvious and not so. You are so lucky to have Canadian tv stations jilli. Ours won't show anything until 8 tonight!!
bye bye, jilli.
bye jill
Dan - to us in UK you are all 'Yanks'. The ones who were 'over-sexed, over-paid and Over Here!' That's what our Tommies thought of you in WW2.
Yeah Stidg! B-A-N-G! (That's an extra bottlerocket for u.)
tfg, please don't put grid words in4 the chat.
fireworks stidg?
ibdawg ????? huh?
Yanks I can handle -- Yankees not
traditionally we do not use words in the grid in the chat
Well, that bottlerocket is very special. to go along with the fireworks. Only because I called on my friends to give aide.
so lbd used in4 instead of the word
whooo hooo stidg!
hello all
that's what we are here for
hi barb
hi barb
can anyone please share a clue for the po6,21 ??
glad we could assist, stidg
I must tell my tale (while commercials are on) about when I first arrived in NY from England and my uncle took me to Yankee Stadium. I was 13, and said "Do you really call it Yankee? I thought that was an insult!" My Southern US uncle chuckled.
Love po6 Number 9
lol you had it right jill!
Oh, yeah sorry I did. Next time I'll write it as a clue, and say that it's not a real word. :-) I sincerely apologize.
ooo I am soooo close 3 to go...all i's
You had nice uniforms that weren't all scratchy, you could provide nylon stockings, gum and chocolate, plus you had accents our women hadn't heard before and you did daring dances to jazz-swing Glenn Millar music.
So bye now -- supper to make too...
lol no problem tfg
bye jill
that's okay, tfg, you're new at this and it was just a warning.
See you later, jilli. What's for supper?
go barb go!
go barb!
Hello Barb. Well some of my ancestors really were Yankees as they were Dutch in New York. What a raw deal some of them had being colonists and having your country sell out to the British for some islands in the East Indies.
this will be my first completion...ooo so exciting...but have to stop for dinner back in a bit
wonder how long dinner is
leftover poached chicken, basmati rice, fresh Mexican asparagus, chicken gravy
yum jill
I'm an English teacher Ibd and my main reason for playing is to lean new words so, when a word doesn't exists it kind of defeats the point.
Once in a while we put our cursor in the wrong box and type in the Babble grid word right in the chat. That is what the penalty box is for. We usually take our rich desserts and/or fantastic drinks into the box and mope about for about 30 seconds before we scramble back out onto the grid.
i had left over pork chop with polenta, onion and spinach
i can see that would be annoying tfg
stidge - my son's Dutch girlfriend is staying with us this week and told me earlier that the hates The Netherlands because it is all reclaimed land and has now history. (She's 23, btw.) I told her the history of the reclamation and also gave her a history lesson re the Dutch. Blimey! Heck!
Oh, don't let obscure words discourage you. My daughter, Stidmama, says she uses patterns to help find words.
it is even MORE annoying when the grid doesn't recognize a real word like poot
i can certainly understand your frustration, tfg. enable doesn't follow the rules of normal English. sometimes you have to google the word for a definition.
strangely ignorant girl jac
Yes, but it makes me happy to know there are lots of words still possible that haven't been used yet.
* meant no history
But I guess 'now' history would also describe her feelings about the country she was born in.
Jacula, history is sometimes wasted on the young. My generation has certainly weirded up the world. I knew what you meant, Jacula, typos R us.
I was hoping to use this with some of my ESL students, but most of the words are sort of ridiculously arcane. I'm totally with you JMC as well. Poot is a perfectly good word!
this is probably NOT a good choice for ESL lol
lots of foreign words for one thing
This is way to difficult for ESL students. I think Advanced Placement or International Baccalaurate students might do okay. The level is maturity is a factor in Babble, too.
it doesn't accept mosh either
*turns on loud music and starts to dance*
Like mosh pit? Well, that is just Rong.
you are absolutely wright stidg! ;-)
how are you doing tfg?
The Netherlands have been inhabited by mankind since the last Ice Age.
Better go heat up left over Irish stew (actually made with lamb, not Irish) and raviolis (made with pumpkin, hazelnuts, and carmelized onions). Tomorrow I will need to cook. And I was at one time in my early days, Wright.
AH ha ha ha well I am enjoying it. Really who knows when I'll have a chance to work "ephah" into a conversation? Someone tomorrow might have a bushel of grain they want measured.
Sounds like a a good meal anywa. stidge.
okay penalty box for you tfg!
Well, tgrrl, and all enjoy the evening. Be well, and you did it again tfgrrl jmcnrick, what are we gong to do?
clearly you are still wright! bye stidg
14 Left I can't talk and think at the same time. Be back later. Oh bloody hell, I did it again!! O.K. where is this box thingy?
The box thingy is in your head. Otherwise we would all be boxed in much of the time.
It's in the corner of the chat room -- over there with the ice box and sauna
If people keep posting grid words in the chog I WILL have to put them into the solitary confinement room of the PB wing. That's the one that only has stale bread and a little water on offer, to go with the bed with no mattress.
if you had your way jac that would be the entire pb!
Is this it over here? *standing sorrowfully in tiny box with stale bread, feeling very contrite*
jmc - indeed it would!
I KNOW contrite isn't a word because there is no R! So there.
ooo 2 to go this is so exciting
(psst, tfg over here where the ice box is)
go barb go!
yeh! dinner is over!
Is that like a fridge jmc?
need in 6 and it 6
yes it is a word for a fridge
Posting a word accidentally is one thing, posting it deliberately is quite another.
do you in6 to look all night for a clue barb?
well she didn't know the rules yet jac
O.K. the lights just went out, I think that's a sign. My doggy is probably crossing her legs. I'll be back, and I promise to be good. {-)
nope thanks jmcnrick
poor doggie
eee one to go now
it6=it4 pt
(not mention clever doggie for turning off the lights)
okay, another short break. (((barb))) when are you going pro? *curious mama look*
The ethic here is to do the puzzle as much as you can on your own, ask for not too spelling it out clues, go to morewords to find what you can't find.
thanks for the it words!
as soon as I have the extra little bit of cash I need to do so
yw
okie dokie. I know cash is crucial!
But that's the ethic of the group of us who've been here since the start. I do appreciate that new starting groups' ethics may differ, which is why I give spell it out clues at times.
done barb?
OO oooo fireworks...ooo ooo I did it...thanks for the help oh my this is so exciting....OkaY I know lame for me
i sorta flop between the two styles myself
*-8-**-8-**-8-**-8-**-8-*
whooo hooo barb!
stid - I wish we cot cash for finishing Babble grids and for time spend chatting and giving clues.
YAY BARB!!! ....-----*****BOOM!*****----- ....
Well done, Barb.
I would be rich! Rich I tell you!
that was fun today...thanks I needed the little lift too
is the Z a zu, a ze or a zo?
(at least for chatting)
rich? nah, you'd blow it all on some charity somewhere, jmc... ((hugs))
zo
zo
thanks jmc *thinking*
and barb... thanks!
*sigh* you'r probably right stiddie
but i would travel first
got it!
some
congrats stid
*looks at office's books*
maybe
well at least I can finish a little one lol
*sigh* but what a great way to fund a charity
me too. I have given it much thought. if I ever win the lottery (which is unlikely since I don't play) I will pay off the mortgage, make sure the children have a starter nest egg, and then do something for the causes we support.
got to start somewhere barb
you go, barb!
put down some that I didn't think could possibly be there and they were
exactly bard
stid - that's pretty standard statement for all of us, should we win big time.
wont be around till next week. Having to do last min. running around before heading to Kamloops for a memorial dinner
down to 20. more work waits. back soonish. *another poof*
kamloops?
you are in the Netherlands?
kamloops, memorial? ((barb)) be safe.
Yes my uncle died last friday suddenly and we are going to the memorial dinner taking my mom as it was her brother
oh so sorry barb
*sad mama face* will hold you and your family in my heart
jmc - maybe it's liek galumphs? (Gallops with big feet over everything.)
thanks ...we will drive very safe but not staying over as we have animals that need us to be here sunday morning
thank you Jacula
seems to be in BC jac
*confused*
Stid - have you got back to your story yet, or at least approached a pulisher with 3 opening chapters?
Jac what time is it your time?
how do you approach a publisher?
Barb it is 2.50am here.
Oh sorry Jacula...it is in BC Canada..the interior part I am near Vancouver takes about 3 1/2 hours to 4 to get there from here
i got the impression you were dutch but i probably misread something
My dad came from Wolverhampton area Bilston actually
Still have some distant family there
*sitting on the edge of the pb hottub with feet dangling in water*
You approach a publisher with an agent these days. You approach either with a good and concise writing cv with published works they can 'click on'. Really, you have to sell yourself and your work in the first 2 sentences of your letter, because people really DO have the attention span od goldfish in a bowl now.
wish I could sit on the edge of the hot tub too....ooo that would be so nice
come on *moves over to make room for barb*
well I am off to sit in the regular tub . Night all take care
so if you haven't published you can't get published?
bye barb
I wrote a children's book for my son and often thought about getting it published
except now that i think about it it was probably lost with my stolen computer
thought i would try to wait for tfg but think i will go play lexulous and head to bed
bye all
The only exceptions are so-called celebrities who are being ghost-written to tell their life stories (they're probably only about 23), memners of the Royal Family, their hangers-on, or writers with something to say that grabs the post reader right away, oh, and let's not forget established writers with that particular publishing house or writers that publishing house would like to poach from another publishing house. Then there are the ones who just zoom in from 'nowhere'.
well it is good for me to have a fantasy life jac
see you tomorrow
*poof*
As it has always been, it's not easy to get published but if your story ticks someibe's boxem it willl happen. I was published from age of 7.
I lost the urge, the muse and the botheration after my divorce. But I've never lost the urge to write. Once a writer, always a writer.
The one thing thaqt has always brought an income trickling in is my writing.
jmc - don't give up hope!
yeah jmc
I once wrote on off the cuff short poem about my ex. It was published, seen and then taken up by a Gay Mag. They'd seen my poem in a completely different way, as some kind of warning about contracting AIDS. They asked for permission to publish, I gave it freely, but they insisted on paying.
You never know where your work may lead.
Hello...
Hello Jellen.
How are you, Jac?
I'm good Jellen, how are you?
A tad bit grumpy, but otherwise fine...
What's made you grumpy?
I have an upper respiratory infection.
Had.maybe still have that myself, Jellen, So, quite understand.
Also, my dog is driving me crazy with her barking...
I'll bet you didn't get asked to strip to the waist 3 times, for ECG tests and do treadmill tests though? I did, when I made the fatal error of following my Mum to the local doc after I had breathing problems at night just after hearing her angins diagnosis.
Cure for dog - elastopast around the muzzle.
Ah forgot about your test today...
The Mummy's Curse! After she had bowel problems and I insisted she went or a colonsocopy, I got the camera up the bum too. After she got diagnosed with angina, ther I am also being tested.
Test was Tuesay, but I was pronounced 'fit as a fiddle'. Told my son that and he said, 'Funny shaped fiddle!' I said,'Oh, okay, cello then!' I couldn't hit him at the time because he was driving.
I'm being watched for my dad's heart problems
Familial health problems, i.e genetic are oly just being realised now.
Has the tape on the dog's muzzle worked?
No, don't have the heart to muzzle her...she's old and going senile...
can someone give me a clue for one of the Ems in the top corner?
e + sew up a hole
ty swear i already got that one
e + not you + *** can

ep4/6 is ep plus half a laugh and ep 5/16 adds a chair

hi Everybody. Wow! Some grid!
Hi, Nef!
Hello Nef!How are you doing?Welcome to the chat log\
hey Nef! *even happier mama face* *looks around for pini*

hugs are the best
Hi Friends
Hi, DR!
Hi Jellen!
Hello DR1965!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
hey DR! *bounce bounce bounce* the paper is done! now just a few essays and a ton of reading and ... *scratches head* I know I am forgetting something...
Hi Min- I am well
The game?
WOOHOO for finished paper!!!
game? you mean BABBLE? NEVER forget babble, just sometimes have to hide from it so I don't get sucked in.
YES! three left-most columns grey
down to 9
I only have 12 words
go DR go!!!!
trying!
is there a DE 7? (not listing)
Was saving my last word for later.I will wait to enter it until you get your last word stidmama. We can get fireworks together tonight stidmama.It would be my honor to get fireworks along side the Babble queen!
yes to de7
de 7/36
okay... thanks Min *thinking VERY hard*
I would love to cross the finish line with you Min!!! but I am not the queen (maybe a low-ranking princess, though!)
GOT IT!!!! *bounce bounce bounce... bounce... BUMP*
night kids. going off to find pillows and my book. good luck with the grid! it's not so bad for a little stinker.
careful Stid
okay, I really need to calm down. LOL
sweet dreams LBD. ((((hugs)))) see you again soon!
Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
bye Dawger
top row is GREY!
Got a phone call @ 9:30. I have a snow day tomorrow
golly gee, Min! *sends hot cocoa, cookies, extra blankies and carrots and coal for snowpeople*
I have never had a snow day- lucky you Min
So I hope tomorrow isn't a teeny tiny grid like today.
hardly seems fair. You-all are going to be going to school through July with all the extra time off this year. *shakes head sadly* not fair at all.
middle row is GREY.
I hope that tomorrow is 513 words, Min. Just for you! (with an S, an ING and and ED)
Tomorrow will be our third snow day of the year and they did not build any into school calendar this year.
but no RE
and of course a R or two!
I am not THAT good. I'd hope for maybeb 200+ words.
okay, Min *revises magic grid-affecting brainwaves*
down to four.
go Stid
ONE!!!!! *bounce bounce*
lbdawger are you still on??
Tom and the boys should be home soon... the elder's evening class ended half an hour ago.

how are you doing Min? is that your last word too?
fishy means appallingly easy and I will feel silly for asking if you help me.
I already my last word is,I am just waiting to enter it
no, opposite of fishy then
hey all.. 14 left.
okay Min. *trying to hurry*
oh! in that case, a little clue please?
Don't hurry on my account. I will be here until the flip
"slow day, only three college things" says Tom about the stidkid's mail.
more like its status as a real word is a little fishy
hey red!
That me 6/24 word is me plus to 4/5 word stidmama.
an old geza x punk song, "iso**** soap"
I have had a horrible day! lost car keys!
Hi, red!

Yay, Van!!! WTG!!!
well done tfgrrl!
That's the last time I wake up and think I'll have a look at Babble in the middle of the night
At least it was a small grid, Van. You'd be up all night if it were larger
yes, if it were larger I'd just never have tried, but with it being small it seemed a shame not to give it a go
I rarely finish
5.11am. Madness! Back to bed. Thanks for all help, good night everyone.
I have periods where I really *have* to finish; but also periods when I will try not to finish just so I don't feel so addicted to winning
Good night? Jeez, I get up at 5:30 each day!
5 left Ahhhh, my epoon is in a teze!
Hello all -- I can clue :)
Hi, jilli!
you finished, jellen?
Yes, I finished this afternoon...
Hey Jilli I'll take words that start with em for 6 please.
little stinker, wasn't it!
em5 = e + repair
em6 = e + encountered + not out
I'd swear I tried that 3 hours ago, I must have typoed. Anyway TY
wtg jellen -- I did last night -- been watching Olympics, of course -- another gold for Canda in women's hockey, and a bronze for Ladies' free skate :)
yw tfg :)
Very impressive skating performances...
and the skating gold for the fabulous Korean was a feather in Canadian Brian Orser's cap (her coach)
wasn't she wonderful?
Yes, she was!
I'm sorry the skating is all over now :(
Hello to all! I'm here to give last minute clue if needed
hi min -- so am I!
Well I have 3 left and I'm stuck. Te4 that's not to care for, it6, and me6
te 4= t + J*** Foxworthy
it 6/24 is past tense of the it 4/5 and the me 6/24 is me plus that to 4/5 word tfgrrl.
A te 4/10 word rhymes with actor J*** Bridges tfgrrl.
I think I'm going to start a new book...finished my latest waiting in the doctor's office today...
me6 = me + ** and from + **as and carrots
Got the te Ty
how did the visit to the doc go?
I have an upper respiratory infection...no surprise...
bummer, jellen -- hope it goes away soon
Me too! Most unpleasant and a little draining...
I know what you mean
Have a great night...I might peek in after the flip...
Goodbye Jellen! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!
ttfn jellen :)
ttfn!
jillibus, you have a very beautiful icon today. I like it
cute Tiger story, min! Why the gun icon?
thanks, min -- narrowboat art is lovely -- flosey has a very nice one too
Sometimes I'll pick an event in history to write about
I know -- but why the gun -- unless you think it should be used on Tiger? (To bop him on the head with the butt, that is)
LOL! I never thought of that.I didn't really want gun as icon which is why I picked a faded one in purple.
Just have it6 left, sorry Min didn't understand clue. It4/5 is a noun so no tense?
well, you could have googled narrowboat art to go with the flow, lol
The it6/24 word is it 4/5 plus the talking horse tfgrrl
fireworks. Was paying more attention to the Olympics than the grid
Congratulations Nef on your fireworks! Hooray for U
enable doesn't care much about grammtical rules, tfg
YAY nef!!!
Enable also doesn't care much if it's real word or not.
Oooooh I c
I'm enjoying the skating all over agin on NBC (saw it before on TSN here)
thanks. I'd like to see it again; but it's bedtime for me
Goodbye Nef! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log!
Jilli, What a brave young lady eh! And her very proud Dad there to see her

I DID IT! With 10 mins to spare and a lot of help from my friends it's 4th of July and Guy Fawks all wrapped up in one
I'm trying, jilli. :-)
Yes, flosey -- so glad Joannie got a medal!

I am well. I am able to stay up for flip because I have no work tomorrow. Can't wait to babble all day again
min -- see flosey's lovely icon? Toldja so.
well, I personally hope it's not too big
Any guesses for the next grid size. I guess 445 words
oh my, min!!!
how about a nice 164
Flosey, you have beautiful icon to go w/theme today
I don't work tomorrow either; but my list of "ToDo" it4s is really long right now and I need to get through itASAP
I'd like about 150
ty Min, I found this theme to be particularly interesting
I had not known where that art originated
.....and in 7 mins the babble addiction begins all over again. Wonder if I can use the loo and eat in 6 mins.
or what flosey said -- with real words, please
if you're fast tf
Hurry up tfgrr! Now it is only four minutes until flip.
hope someone has already prepared supper for you
oh, yes please, more real words
I am expecting to lose my power so muay not be able to babble all day tomorrow as much I would like to.
I am surprised that I have not lost my power tonight.
why, Min?
oh Min, storms there?
why, min? Bad weather?
We are getting blasted with a ginormous snowstorm!
blast indeed - snow!!
we're supposed to get wind and rain tomorrow (heavy snow at Whistler though)
I would take a picture of my fireworks with my phone if I wasn't already on my phone. I haven't worked this hard since college.
LOL tf -- did you get to the loo?
oh, Man! more snow!
