allo! ready to flip out!
hello flosey dear! how's mr. flosey? how dost his gardens grow?
hey again PAV.
flip! I finally made it on time !
busy day coming up -- library work to do and I want to see the big hockey game and then the closing ceremonies
hi dee hi
I hope you'll have a lovely day tomorrow jill.
hugs jili
hey Dee!
hugs stid!
I am going to work as hard as I can, after I sleep in. I think.
ty stid -- you too
he7 and hello all
hi there stid, mr.f is doing well, getting things ready, some seeds started inside
wow, it's that time, eh flosey?
ch 7
I don't have any seeds started, but next week I want to get the soil amendments and get them dug in. It feels good to contemplate a garden for this year.
Evening all
I bought some Scarlet Runner seeds -- first attempt at a veg here
hi met :)
he7
hi freep, pave anyone I missed
good jilli, are you going to grow them up the fence?
hi jilli :)

hi west
hi flosey
ah yes, jilli, they would

the other night Bob Costas got off a sea plane. Was that like one you flew on?
th 7
thanks for that one jill
:) pleased with self remembering the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet
hmm always remember the first
ra7/8
thanks for that one also jill
no way, west -- mine was a Beaver, 4 seats!
oh yes my daughter in law
I think you will like the beans, jill. they are so pretty.
must have been exciting anyway
It was, west!
flosey, I may put up some netting on the fence too...
ok just need the bootom leftest E and H for NBT!
netting is a good idea jill
he6
he6 for that h
it's a plural ec word
ae7
another..."why is that not split or hyphenated?
the H is a pretty flowering shrub
thanks Stid!...white choc chips?
wr 6, 7, 8
ch7
"pretty flowring shrub" my hybicuses was deliberatly killed...
le6
oh..and NBT!
go PAV go!
because it's hibiscus?
NBT here too!
what if there were two?
yay STid! hibiscusses?
why was it killed PAV? planticide is a bad bad thing to do... unless it's scotch broom.
hibiscae?
ra 7 x 2
ra6
wtg stid -- old motormouth here isn't even close
I am allergic to hibiscus...
LOL jill! (motormouth???) rofl
really, stid?
oops -- can't talk about ch4 here!
halfway
yes jill, I can only tolerate small exposures.
go Une go!
hi jilli, dee, une, stid, pav and any I missed
oh! wait! I can say that in french now!!!
hi une and stg!
ALLEZ Uneaixoise ALLEZ!!!
I was gone what about hibiscus?
hey west!
my HOA (before I got on the board) was unruly and temperamental and said I (MOI, your truly, meself) NEEDED to keep it trimmed and proper...mind you this was summer of '01, less than one month into my ownership...I said I really just wanted to get rid of it, however the underground sprinkler system in place wouldn't let me...two years later, after fixing said sprinkler system, it finally died...and I was dinged for having a dead plant ...
hey, jilli and west and stid :-)
would it be gross to netion that Canada has 13 golds?
j'y vais, stid! LOL
congrats to canada!!!!!!!!!!
hi west btw
what a shame, PAV. sounds very unreasonable.
OH CANADA! netion - mention?
how frustrating pav
ALLEZ CANADA ALLEZ!!!! *shakes red and white pompoms again*
typo, pav (groan)
I love hearing the song played and seeing everyone singing along
I do too west, always choke up
so now the hibiscus is gone and I'm on the HOA board where we don't care (too much) who's growing what...
HOA???
some HOA's over do it
i have amaryllis and clivia blooming! (inside of course!)
hope we get our gold record tomorrow!
I don't particularly think Americans should sing the phrase "we stand on guard for thee" though..double entendre..
wow Une! that would be lovely.
HOA == homeowner's association.
my Meyer lemon tree will have +3 lemons this year! yay for my greenish thumb!
I refused to even look for a place with one.
ty stid
I was deep in the grid and didn't notice - did Lickety put up a list?
just bought another clivia now that i understand that you treat them just like amaryllis :-)
how cool, pav!
not yet Met (that rhymes...)
rate
our neighborhood association is inconsistent and ridiculous.. they pick and choose who they pick on, and their inconsistencies do not protect property value
lucy arnaz's neighbor's in the grid :-)
Sorry
and I am just now one word past halfway, so heading to bed before I am up too late.
yep HOA's get a bad rap here. but it's pretty much cuz owners still want to do their own thing regardless of the ruels and regs in place to keep the common areas prim and proper..helps to sell homes, but who cares nowadays...
we bought our cottage in Maine in 1993 a lovely cul-de-sac with little cottages all different all built by the owner now the son has turned them into condos and you'd think it was the federal government
ruels = rules
I don't think our anthem should say "My home and native land" so I sing "My home and favoured land" -- also I sing "To all thy souls command", not "sons". I am not a native Canadian, nor am I anyone's son.
aren't we ALL rebels tonight lol
good for you jill.
reasonable substitutions.
and I am outta here. ALLEZ TOUTS LE MONDE!!! (don't remember how to say everyone)
I for one am happy that the Chiluly theme was chosen otherwise I wouldn't have known about Grand Rapids
I am a native canadian and I like it the way it is
I think so. It's my little crusade, if that isn't a dirty word these days.
oh, that reminds me...brb.
and DORS BIEN everyone! :-D *poof*
dors bien, stiddy!
my flower for my icon came from a chihuly exhibit at Phipps conservatory in Pittsburgh
I have never seen any of his work in person and I'm really looking forward to it
nan -- so you would exclude me as a non-native Canadian?
west -- your icon and write-up are wonderful
you will be duly impressed... odd fellow, but so extremely talented
night , stiddy
no -- I just don't think that people who emigrate to Canada should be able to change our historical institutions to suit themselves.
thanks jilli going to a wedding in Lansing and we'll be going to Grand Rapids to visit Jon's sister..Now I'm really looking forward to it
ok, I've returned
hi pav welcome back
th6 x 2
ugh being haunted by the stupid phantom teapot
nan, I think the anthem should be inclusive
he 8/55
to6
yes -- well there are some who think the mounties should wear turbans too!
hi pug don't drink the phantom tea
what would you think if I said the British anthem should be God Save the Queen because not everyone believes in God?
prob wouldn't taste too good
*shouldn't be
es7
and the only native Canadians are the First Nations -- and the original anthem was in French "de nos aieux", meaning "our (French) ancestors"
that's not true -- being native to a country is to be born there
th6 x 3
well I think our anthem should be My Country 'Tis of Thee, it's much easier to sing...
lol, pav
pav LOL!
and same tune as God Save the Queen
exactly
it's the same music as God Save the Queen, and prob was written to offend the British, but what do I know?
I think they should all remain historical... same as always ... :)
you'd think they could have come up with something original wouldn't you?
nan, beacause I was born in China, there was a time when I would have had to enter the USA on the non-existent Chinese quota, but I was a minor so I could go in on my mother's permission, but although she was 100% British she happened to be born in Germany so was considered German. If a cat has cookies in the oven, they're cookies? Ridiculous.
help please with the lonely o
I like America I Love You..from my mother's old piano book
easier to sing = just ask Carrie Underwood, who ran out of steam at the SuperBowl and botched the last MAJOR note...ugh..great artist though, she's prob wanting a do-over...

we've actually had 2 days of sun -- wonderful!!
soz plant
sorry you are upset, Jill -- I just have very strong feelings about people who come here from other countries and expect us to change our ways and heritage to whatever they left behind. I don't like seeing the RCMP in turbans and I don't want kids carrying knives to school, claiming they are ceremonial. I don't like the fact that God has been kicked out of our schools or any of the other changes that have been made because people who come here don't think they should try to adopt our culture as well as our country.
that may be said equally for the USA , NAn
I know, pav
totally understand nan... God in schools... etc...
freep have the he 7/36... what is count on other one please
my missing h from 1st column was he 6/36... hillbilly show on TV

he 8/55
yipes
nan, I refuse to lie when singing the anthem to honour our country. I am not a native, and I am not a son. I am not a second-class citizen because I was not born here. I am deeply offended at your attitude.
she just kept cutting and cutting
mine does same west... more she talks... more she whacks... have to really wa5.. her
scroll down and read where I am coming from, jill
I figure I'll get a lot of milage out of it
y'all just keep chatting and giving clues..!
I bet
is that right? mileage?
can we agree to disagree?
lots of good clues
mileage , yes...millage perhaps?
yes mileage
at any rate it will be curly for a long time lol
mine never seem to last as long as I think they should
No, nan, I'm afraid not.
sorry you feel that way, but I was born and raised a Canadian and you will not change my mind or my feelings about my country
ok, here are all the 7's: ae, be, ch, es, he x 2, ra x 2, ta, th, wa, wr
As long as you regard me as having no rights here, I cannot agree in any way.
rights to change the words of a national anthem... seems odd to me
Jill -- I don't really care what you sing or don't sing -- what I care about is that you seem to expect us to change our anthem to suit you.
You may love OUR country with all your heart, nan, just don't deny ME.
Nan, the anthem has been changed many times, and my suggestion is not just to suit ME, but includes many others of greater value.
Nan - in reading and remembering the chog, I don't Miss Jilli stated any song should be changed, just that she prefers to change words to suit her feelings...call it artistic perogative, whatever...personally I don't/won't sing our national anthem either. but it is what it is...now shall we babble?
speaking of babbling... anyone find the missing 8?
still missing two of them dee
k ty
I don't have a single 8 yet..
awww unusual for you ru
I don't know the words to the american anthem either
O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux, Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux. Car ton bras sait porter l'épée, Il sait porter la croix. Ton histoire est une épopée, Des plus brillants exploits. Et ta valeur, de foi trempée, Protégera nos foyers et nos droits. Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
here are the s's: se 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 4, 6 sl 5, 5 st 5, 5, 4, 4
hi, all, NBT
wtg
i get them mixed up and it's filled with visions of violence..I like peace and serenity..beautiful landscapes and my babble friends!...and am not done with first glass of wine either...!
I could really go for the original English version (1908) minus the first verse which is like the present version (1980):
O Canada! Where pines and maples grow. Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow. How dear to us thy broad domain, From East to Western Sea, Thou land of hope for all who toil! Thou True North, strong and free! Refrain O Canada, glorious and free! etc. O Canada! Beneth thy shining skies May stalwart sons and gentle maidens rise, To keep thee steadfast through the years From East to Western Sea, Our own beloved native land! Our True North, strong and free! Refrain O Canada, glorious and free! etc. Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer, Hold our dominion whithin thy loving care; Help us to find, O God, in thee A lasting, rich reward, As waiting for the Better Day, We ever stand on guard. Refrain O Canada, glorious and free! etc
anyone have all the b's?

YAY vash
wtg!!
thanks for all of the help
ty, too glad to help
hold on and I'll post a list in my profile
that would be nice, dee
I was checking my email at the 'burp'; Yay dee and Jilli please don't take what nan said personally you are the most Canadian Canadian I know
west, how can I not take it personally -- it was directed at me
I didn't see it that way she seemed like she was talking about others
But it was also directed at many of my friends who were also not born here but love this country and are good citizens.
well I have no doubt that you do
In her view only those born here are entitled to be Canadian -- others have no rights.
my grandparents were born in Canada and were subjects of the Queen
that confused some of the relatives..' I didn't know they were born in England' lol
well, then they could be Canadian but if you weren't born here you could never be.
that was in the 1880's
Incidentally, I was born a British subject but the wording has been changed, I was told, and now it's British citizen.
PC rules.
if I had my way there would be no borders so much that is terrible is done in the name of real estate
k, should be in my profile... got to get moving... church in a few hours
I don't think she said that at all, Jilli. Personally.
I need grem's handy dandy little program
thanks for the list dee and say a little prayer for me
Dee, say a prayer that nan will be more accepting
I will say a prayer for you both... I don't think it appropriate to discuss her when she isn't here Hugs to you jili and to all
I think you are taking what Nan said out of context Jilli. Cybernan just wants to uphold traditional standards it seemed to me.
*poofing*
Hi all and bye Volley
Oh, I've had enough. Goodbye.
hi lyn and ata
nite Jilli
hey ata - love the picture - did you have a fab time?
fab fab FAB!!
Hello
ata thanks for the icon theme when I was researching I found that I'll be able to see some of his works in Michigan this summer
Hi Ata and co!
hi herin
makes visiting the relatives more palatable lol
ooo lucky you, westford! They really are amazing. I'm never quite sure if I *like* a lot of them, but they certainly are amazing
Lyn, she is, and says the likes of me have no right to change anything because we were not born here, so I am arequited to lie if I sing O Canada as it now exists (a revised version approved only in 1980) -- It says "my home and native land" -- I am not a native, nor are many others, so I sing "my home and favoured land", of which she does not approve. I am not discussing her, just those ideas.
no, she really didn't, Jilli ...
*required
Hello sorry my net just died along with me sneezing to much
well, I need support and I'm not getting it here so I'll just go away
Goodnight, and enjoy the grid
*sigh*
Goodnight Jilli, don't let misunderstandings upset your night though. Sleep well
Bye OSGMA
So you had laugh Ata? How much time did you get to have together?
not long :( an hour or two. Haz and Mr Haz were on a ridiculously tight schedule
I have just been told to go off and die quietly

lol, well you asked for that comment then
oh poor herin are you having allergies?
BBS just having some dinner
Probably to a kitty cat that demanded a cuddle and her fur got up my nose
she meant well at least you got a cuddle out of it
I did and I nearly cried she is not a cuddler
they make their own rules don't they?
Yes they do. She is not a cuddler due to poor history of neglect
O and West see this pic: http://tinyurl.com/yamgrkd

West I got to the front of the stage by sheer stupidity and waiting 5 hours
how exciting herin who was it?
It's called "scramble squares"
Placebo, Janes addiction and Faith No more. There also was other bands on the other stage next to the one I was at but I wasnt that interested
you're very quiet Diem
I actually have heard of Jane's Addiction
It was very fun
I'm glad you got to go
I have given up on helping the class mate as I have no idea what she needs in relation to context of question

Hello FM, how are your sore legs?

Much fun westie. Hi lynxxx, giving me jip today just taken a pain killer.
HI FM thanks
The cure is don't stick your face in Kitties fur
ouch FM did you slip on the ice?
You have been to the doctor? (this is going on for long time)
Fm what hapened?
nope, really stupid, slipped 2 steps from the bottom of the stairs but fell on my right leg, was lucky I didn't break anything (was over a week aago).
no lynxxx but am thinking I might have to tomorrow
inside or outside stairs?
not that it matters
I'm thinking wood vs stone
OUch fm
inside, it's just taking time for the bruising to come out and I have dodgey knees anyway due to a riding accident years ago but I will be fine.
no skiing in the Olympics for you then
lol westie
Daffodills and crocus are about to burst for in the garden here in the next few days!

they had some torrential rains in San Diego a few weeks ago and our son-in-law just sent pictures of their flowers gone wild

Morning ruby

ruby did you get any of those storms overnight?
hi Ruby
nothing. That's the fourth time they predicted bad weather, snow, etc. and nothing happened. Not complaining! LOL
hi lynxxx, hello FM, hi westford
jumping in
Oh good!
How is the mange going Ruby?
the vet came back on Thursday, and Max is healing up nicely but still biting himself a little. He has another course of antibiotics, but she thinks he'll be fine. And Ruby never got it (nor I, lol)
missing an 8, have he, ra and wr whats the last one please
Terrific!
that's good news ruby poor guy
pe 8/45 oggy
he is such a sweet and docile dog, looked dreamily at the vet the whole time
pe8/45 oggy, clued not long ago if you scroll down.
thanks westford.
Ruby, on the other hand, hates the vet, and kept trying to either get our of the house or hide under a table. Too funny
got it thanks.
oggy, because of your icon, I knew the answer to a NY Times crossword puzzle clue!
what was it, dragon lol.
what country has a red dragon in its flag?
hate
sorry, ooops, pb with FM's tea etc.
lol enjoy ruby.
im useful for something then.
BBS off to get coffee and my scrumptious rhubarb cake (if I do say so myself)
hmmm. Do you grow your own rhubarb?
oh can we have some too please lynxxx?
ruby you have just brought back a childhood memory - my Grandapa grew rhubarb in his garden :)
it is beautiful when it grows and v hardy
Morning all. How nice. Came onto the chog to find a clue for an 8, two resulting words and rhubarb cake. And I haven't even looked at the grid yet!
hello sally
hi sally we aim to please
didn't get the pe8 but I found an ra7 and 8, if anybody wants them
We grow rhubarb, but not ready yet.
thanks ruby have those
want a clue for the pe8?
please
I looked in th chog an couldn't find it
start with a 4 letter fruit and end with another word for exam
thank you
didn't even have the fruit
you just started
Back, PC th5/20 a wobbly :(
Oh! TY for the th5!
yw :)
back too, with very full tummy
did you put clotted cream or vanilla ice cream on the pie?
Oh ruby, what temptation!
custard
mmm I make my own custard.
creme anglaise!
*droool*
I see the chog is full of food again :-)
of course!
you can actually buy creme anglaise here
pie? what sort of pie did I miss out on?
in the dairy section -- imagine all that work when "we" were young and ambitious cooks....
sorry, rhubarb cake, not pie. I never had it as cake
ahhh but it does taste so much better when home made tho ruby
I've forgotten, lol
I'll make you some when you come to England, ruby :-)
it's a deal!
oh all round to Sallys for comfort food!
lol, plenty of that here!
love you already!
Which is probably why I'm not a size 10 :-(
smiling
size 10 pppfftt! me neither.
lol, well saying size 10 implies I'm close. Luckily my web cam isn't on at the moment.
I wore size 10 in college, but too skinny now.
I had muscles then, not nothing left
pppfftt would be a good babble word FM.
I' m one of those "chicken" old ladies
Too skinny ruby? I ha4/5 you already!
I've always been size 16-18 apart from after BF died then got to 14 but seeing as I am 6 foot tall it is all relative
no, it's icky to look like this. I think women look much better with some extra lbs. to fill out the wrinkles. My wrinkles have their own wrinkles
Too funny Sally - just read your profile' Loved the cocker one
tall FM!!!!
yep
:-) lynxxx
I am just 5 ft, too small
must go and make mr. nasty his Campari. He is trying to be nice, but the effort is visible
nothing wrong with that ruby
TTFN ruby
bye for now ruby.
bye
see you after lunch
Hope so.
bye Ruby
90 words and have stopped looking at the rankings, which had started going down a little every day
and I must make a move too, need to go get new bulbs for my desk lamp. Will be back later too.

My little grandson would be thrilled; his favorite cat is here.

Merk, the 2nd th6/27 seems to be the extra word on Lickety's
Good morning/day to all.

hi FM!
We are buried under 2 feet of new snow since Thursday.

It is so beuatiful outside with the trees holding the snow.

It has been a great winter for cross-country skiing + snowshoeing.
yay!
Good Morning!
good morning Pam
snow is beautiful if you don't have to drive or be anywhere in a hurry.
Hi Pam! You are also up early. I was wide-awake, checked the clock and it was 6:05.
Pam!!! Hello
I agree FM
I was up at 6.15 but that was a while ago now nearly midday here
I love the snow. . . Boston has not gotten what scrabs,feather, and the folks in Jersey and Philly have gotten.
Hi, Scrabs! Yep, arose at 6 or so.
How are you Pam, haven't seen you for ages?!
I got up a bit after 5, just couldn't get back to sleep
I went to bed at about 10 and had a good night's sleep.
That has been my pattern, Nanette.
Thanks, Fmitch! I am well. Been a busy time!
I don't sleep well.
Oooo ... a morning of odd words
hope it has been a good busy time.

jay has a life sleeping after she finishes the grid each morning LOL
me too i didn't even make nbt that day
the long h is a measurement
i must be misspelling it then because i tried th** ty i will look again
got it!
ty
unfortunately th** came from the center H
i cannot get it,im trying the usual re ending
reverse the er
Hi all, back again. There's also an H from that corner which is the plural of the plant (he 4/7).
he7/36
beetle
oops
hi sally
ty Jayk!
I Kaplaned
*giggle*
good morning all
hi boo
i must not know th** plant (th** makes for a full pb)
hi boo
he + to ** or not to **
ty sally -- th**'s a plant?
Yes it is. We have some in our garden!
def: kaplan eg: to kaplan the art of posting many words in chat usage: "darn it! i have kaplaned again!" hehe
ah it is a kiwi plant
now now who among us has not sinned?
probably better than my foot on the keyboard like i did last night
we all have,just not with such style ;)
haha...who posted their entire list once?
lol,cat was typing for me yesterday
th** would be me sea
[blush]
that was awesome! lol
If you've sinned with your foot on the keyboard, it makes me wonder what you were up to :-)
i was watching a movie and hadn't close the window
breakfast...bbl
i put my laptop on the floor next to my chair and wasn't paying attention
we will take that excuse..for now...:)
bye sea
th** is as good as "my cat was typing" ;-)
lol
nbt and i am off to Meeting for Worship with a clear mind!
bbl
finally got the h 7/36 measure ;/
Oh, wonderful, just got the last H from that bottom corner. Wonderful word!
darn thing will not take "warf" ;((
hi Crossy
ch 7/40 plz
Big cat, sixty
anyone have the he 8?
howdy boo bear
ty Sally
ch7/40 big monkey
mm now i see it spelt both ways warf and wharf
big kitty you mean lol
he8: he 4/7 (plant) plus ta4
big fast kitty
I think it's the fastest, isn't it?
thx sally
hi all
hi TO.
indeed sally
Hi TO
hi all
phantom "cheese"
cant get the he7
I do have the plant
hey sue
he 7/36 a unit of measure in landscaping of plot measurement
Thought sue was looking for the he 8/55, which is apparently a verb meaning dull.
several acres equal this word..crossy cannot remember how many though lol
cool,i need the 8
Do you want a clue sue?
lol
We still use the measurement he7 in the UK.
2.47 acres to the he7
I acre = 0.404687261 he7
funny thing sally,even though we have been metric since 78 or so,fish will always be in pounds,land will always be in acres and beer will forever be in pints lol
ty sally
ty
I have he7 and he8 is there another he7?
Beer still in pints here, and also milk in bottles.
Not sure, sue, haven't finished the H words yet.
any clue for the second th6/27
sue...there are 2 he7's
th7 where you go to see a movie
he 8/55 plz
he4/7 + ta4/4
the he 4/7 (which is a plant) plus ta4
ty phaeton & Sally
is that the same as the unit of measure he7?
No, TO, and from different H
hmmm need to find that plant if it's recognizable as a plant
why is cheeto not acceptable? lol
i accept all cheetos
yw
Well it is to me, but not some here. The singular version of the plant comes from the top H, but there is a plural from the bottom left H
what is a cheeto?
watching feature on entrepreneurs. someone invented a brownie pan that produces extra corners
Have been wondering Erda! Had assumed it was US food of some kind.
i am watching too TO, I don't think I want one
just google it and you will get the best images
it is a cheesey snack food
lol sea, i am a middle person. i now trim them when i make them for presentation
It must be some kind of a brand name, Sally
they can be saced for usign with ice cream if frozen
I put peanut butter chips in my brownies, my son loves them
ty SeaSpray
lol on the googled page there is an image of a model in a bathtub full of them!
full of cheetos?
he 6/36 plz
cheeto = cheese curl.
ewww, just think what her body looked like later lol
yes, sea! :D
he 6/36: donkey sound
all orange and ...cheesy.
ty Sally
ok folks: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=ht tp://bunkstrutts.files.wordpress.com/2 007/09/cheetos.jpg&imgrefurl=http://ta ckyraccoons.com/2007/09/26/do-not-mock -the-cheeto/&h=338&w=500&sz=83&tbnid=k R8375e2rCGcZM:&tbnh=88&tbnw=130&prev=/ images%3Fq%3Dcheetos&usg=__IiGP0JuaqsF N44Pei1oJe63PNmw=&ei=w4qKS4fcLNrk8Aab9 ZDGDw&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=7&ct =image&ved=0CBcQ9QEwBg
eek, sorry!
need a clue for the lower left e for NBT
The whole grain cheetohs are awful. You cannot try to make true junk food healthy.
they even sound awful Gail
i love the fried ones
plural of ec 4/6
They are all gritty, like cheetohs that have been on the floor. Fried is best.
hi TO

Phew! Fireworks at last. Any clues needed?
congrats sally!
he8?
he 4/7 (which is a kind of plant) + ta 4/4
he8 is a greek "geisha"
ty sally!
he 7/32 plz
Really shirlock? dictionary.com says verb meaning to make dull.
Perhaps there are two meanings.
hmmm, spelling i have led to wiki definition. are there 2 he8?
Actually, I think you mean he 7/32 which has that meaning.
oops, i can't count!
was so excited i got the word!
lol
it;s so sad when you know the word for a greek courtesan when someone mentions it ...
sixty, do you still need a clue for the he7/32 now you know what it means?
lol, ata
he7 - he + brit ty + period in time
But ata, just think how you can drop it lightly into conversation.

Any clues for th6,27 which looks as if it should be plural of Botswana coin, but isn't? Hi everyone.
hello
Thank you bojazz! Where is your Chihuly icon today?
at the office?
LOL!
oh Min, I hadn't noticed your icon - that is the most beautiful Chihuly I've seen yet
Thanks flosey!
hydra - a thing you can use for roofing
is it a chihuly icon theme today?
yes pappa
how can we have an icon theme of something i have never heard of??
well, let me go find one... I happened to visit the DeYungmuseum a couple years ago when they had a chihuly exhibit.
there've been many I had not heard of hurshy - that's what makes it interesting, reading up on them
What is the theme today
its Chihuly, Boo
check out Min's icon, it's beautiful
8's are pe, ra, wr and ?
he8 as well
is that from the bottom H or the middle?
There we go... no chihuly-themed icon uploaded
bottom one
*new icon*
i was wondering how i was going to find a third word from there! that explains it.
lovely, pappa
you obviously caught me on a good day, as i can never usually remember which square goes with which word
thank you flosey
well you just look. if it can come from the middle, it does, and if it can't, it doesn't.
though i have no idea what it can be since one who says he6/36 doesn't work
might i have a clue?
hursh odd word - means to make blunt or dull
Thar.
As in there's gold in them thar hills. Why not?
and thar she blows!
aha, i have found it! thanks.
Oh, is it the language you speak over thar too?
i'm not over thar, i'm just a wannabe
Your flag?
my flag is part of my wannabeness
politically, i am a loyalist.
you wannabe!
it's nice having 18th century politics - you never get into arguments because nobody cares.
As in the US should never have fought the revolution?
exactly!
Just think, if we hadn't, we might have a decent healthcare system.
indeed
And look what Tea Parties have degenerated into.
just think, if we hadn't, we might have taxation without representation ... oh wait, we DO! LOL
and look how lovely canada's doing with its banks and healthcare and whatnot
look at what you're all missing :P
And we'd have a real Queen
well, we have Queen Haz anyway. i have designated her as queen of the world.
good one Katy!
Paul Lynde will step down then
and Mr Haz is just as wonderful
prince consort
dang it, if i could get my last third-row E i'd have lovely symmetry in my boxes
got ee4, ec4, et4
fireworks
ooo hang on a sec then
yay flosey
is it the es7?
it must be - i have all the other e's and i hain't got that
aha, thanks!
:D
don't like that word, it's missing an a
you should see how pretty. my second row T's, the middle H, the C and the R are white
ah, is it an ae word in Britain?
hi all... not seeing the wr8 or the he8 at all...
he8 you have to make he4/7 into a verb
nrk, do you have wr6/33?
yep, and it looks wrong without the a! :D
wr8 is more normal, do you want a clue anyway?
I do have the wr633... lemme see what I can do with it
oh. that was odd
what was odd?
if you are going to talk about it.... please clue it too.... hello to all!
wr8
not odd, just verb.
wr6 is what you put on your door at Xmas
wr8 is pt
wr8 = bedecks with a wr6
oops, sorry, wr6 is the verb
wr5 is the decoration
wr7 is verb
wr7 is the verb and wr8 is the verb too
hang it on yr door for Xmas for the 6, add a vowel for the 7 and pl for the 8
consonant combos are making you miscount letters, methinks
ackk -- just ignore my clues! I'm tired!
I had missed wr7, and I thought it was odd that it went right from wr6 to wr8... idiot me
okay okay i get it .... thanks to all who helped.
Oh, thanks for that little exchange- good clues
well you did ask *grin*
i have a ta7. may i have clues for any other T7's that may exist in the grid?
fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Hiya, Babblers! oooh Chiluly. One of my absolute favorite artists. Genius!
gilmore girls episode - pregnant liz drinking a "virgin white russian" - just cream
oh darn now I am craving something sweet - thanks so much dc!
Lovley to see you by the way dc :)
thank you, and you, FM :)
BRB going to make some hot chocolate.
hi, judi
tossing FM a homemade bananna choc chip muffin
thanks Sea!
What's wrong with your leg, FM?
yw
HAd a fall and it is giving me jip Judi. Back in a acouple of mins.
Poor FM. Don't hobble away on my account.
the devestation in Chile is unbelievable
what happened in chile?
8.8 earthquake yesterday
That was a kick-ass earthquake. From what they've shown on CNN, Chile appears to be fairly modern. Doesn't seem to be poverty stricken like Haiti.
8.8 earthquake
oh dear
I think the devastation was a bit worse in Haiti
I think so too RURU
Also Chile has had a bigger earthquake in the past, so I think they also must have built a lot of their buildings to withstand some of this
Oh no, really ruru?
I heard on one report that most of the buildings in Chile are fairly new and built to withstand earthquakes because they are fairly common in the region. But, I don't think most buildings could survive an 8.8.
yes, much lower quality construction in Haiti, worse economy, and fewer resources
most of the tall buildings in Santiago were built very strongly to withstand giant earthquakes. I have been ther
Shoot, I hate when the news reports the early news so optimistically -- I have not had a chance to catch up
take a look at the pics on CNN, lots of buildings and roads completely gone
well here's a first - found a word in morewords that enable doesn't take - usually they're so in sync
I can't even imagine 8.8... worst I ever went through was 6.7 I think
Concepcion was destroyed almost completely between quake and waves
which word was that, hurshy?
pl of th5/16
bbl... lunchtime...
njo, nrk
can someone help me with a clue for the very first TA? That's a TA 5,10. I think I must be blind
6.7 is a pretty good shake. 8.8 must have seemed like the world was splitting in half.
the first ta is a 4/4, the 5/10 after that is pl of it
babblet
at least it was 22 miles down
I have been in a 7.3 and that is plenty scary
oh shoot! Sorry, I had that first line in lickety's list covered up... that helps me a lot. :-P
dear all, please note that lickety has fallen for it too and lists a th6/27 in the printable list that babble will not take
yes, and in the non-printable list too
note that he says there are 182 and babble only has 181
wow ruru
so the newer ENABLE takes teh word. Babble uses an older one.
good morning/afternoon everyone :)
Where was that Ruru?
where was that?
hi, nan
Palo Alto the Loma PRieta quake
doc'll have to update
we lived sort of near the epicenter
wish he would hush.
hi nan!
glad you came out OK
I should shut up>?
did CA suffer any damage from tsunamis?
my cousin was through those, sounded scare, ruru.
hursh, not hush!!
think the tsunamis fizzled
no... nor hawaii either
that is good news!
yes it is
lol sorry my typos again :(
didn't fizzle in Japan
a wave large enough to put big ships on the beach hit Concepcion, Chile
of course a bunch of idiots head to the beach to see it
I was worried for Japan and Australia. They seemed to be in the tsunami path. Haven't heard anything, so must be no news is good news.
Chile is such a beautiful country.. I would love to go back
idiocy is not a domain of any particular race
Amazing, ruru. That's like climbing a tree to get a better view of lightning. DUH!
Judi, as anything I say seems to be invisible, I shall repeat. Didn't fizzle in Japan. A lot of Hokkaido went under water
Hadn't read or seen that, ata -- ty for the update
just saw it on the news!
Thank you, Ata. I shall have to surf for updated news reports. Hubby's newphew and wife live in Tokyo.
they didn't mention Tokyo. I think only the north got hit
And, you are not invisible, Ata dear. Perhaps... enigmatic, but certainly not invisible.
ooo I like enigmatic :D
Have we heard from any of our Aussie friends? Any wave action there?
hmmm good question
"surf" for updated news judi?
not heard anything today Judi but I guess they areall asleep.
Erm, no pun intended, ru.
lol
Hi all.......clue please for he7/32 please?

smugly enigmatic, of course!
Well, obviously.
don't have it flask *breathlessly awaiting a clue"

(brings oxegen tank for nan while she waits)
lol
when does Haz get home, FM?
I don't think oxegen will do her much good. Perhaps oxygen?
he + cons +Gone with the wind estate with an extra vowel thrown in.
Not sure I think they were flyng out around lunch time or early afternoon.

I've never been to that, either, but I can see it from the field above the house and have been to a few parties where it was possible to watch from our village
ooooo fun
that is too funny, ata!
ty for pe8, nan
ty for te.6
wow that was weird.
what was that, ru?
I refreshed and I was done.. I showed two unfinished tiles. and didn't have a th 6/27 that is on licketly's list
he has an extra word in there, due to using a newer version of ENABLE than does babble
I wonder what the new word is?
good heavens -- can't believe I missed the goat!
goat?
yes -- the babblet -- himalayan goat
don't know it.....
thanks cyber
ah, so that's what that ta4 is. thanks!
ta + 2 consonants, ruby
ty, now I'll monkey it
store it in you memory bank, ruby -- it shows up fairly often
I can't find it and feel really stupid
got it!!! yay
ta + Human Resources
will never forget it!
ty nan and ata
ruby, it's 2 cons. that normally don't go together
good clue, Ata
unless you live in very high mountains!
is the first th 6/27 in lickety's list the missing one?
i think so, nan, but am not certain
no I think it is a plural that the babble version doesn't accept, but lickety's list does
now I don't know which th 6/27 I'm missing!
th6 roof?
ah -- was missing the grassy one
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)
conrgats, nan :)
oh -- yes, seain -- that was it
yay nan!
off to fetch another cuppa -- brb to clue
Bombardier builds trains, too. They built some of the cars for our Metro. Be well, nan
YAY,cyber! WTG!!!
hey seain, are you feeling better today?
a good bit, but not 100% yet, thanks
is it a flu or cold, or worse?
just a cold
nose is clearing up an cough is reducing today
There seems to be no end to what Bombardier produces. Isn't it great that the entreprenurial spirit thrives in our countries?
I am so proud of all of the athletes in the Olympics -- not just our own. They set such a good example for the youth of our world.
indeed, nan :)
and yes, they athletes do
aw, it won't take betcha :)
LOL! I've already tried it too,seain
I wonder if SP knows that!
I think the be 6 you are looking for is a nut(s)
oh, i have that. i'm still monkeying, 'i've not listed yet :)
or an extension of one of the 'Little Women'
anyone want clues before I leave?
huh. i thought that a proper noun. ty

Welcome aboard ,Dix...I see you're assimilating well (resistance is futile)!

sorry
greetings, pini
hello all
hi TO
looking for the lower left E and H (for NBT)
hello, TO
Hi 72 Temple Owl!How are you? Welcome back to grid
hi Pini, TO and all
sort of like spatish H, pini
oh, plural :)
That ec 4/6 word is ec plus not she Pinikula and hello!
thx for the E, dc
and min ;)
Pini, he6/36 is an old (60's) TV show
he 4/7 is he plus to ** or not to ** and plural Pinikula.
That he 8/55 is he 4/7 word plus ta 4/4 word Pinikula
bbs. need to move laundry around
i've been thinking and i 've come to the conclusion i may cut back to babbling weekends only for len. giving up all computer during the week.
oh, wow, TO!
What a restriction 72 Temple Owl. I couldn't do that
Wow, TO, that IS a penance!
that's why i am thinking of trying it
(still working on the bottom left H clues)
it is taking too much time away from other things. i don't know how you all manage, truthfully.
E's Executed! 2 left
so may be time for a babbtical
git'r dun, min! :)
cute, TO! :)
My lenten resolution is to not get upset or swear at bad drivers; to say a prayer for their safety (and everyone else they are around) on the road. It's hard. Giving up the computer would be much worse
now THAT'S penence! i'd have to take a 40 day vacation to do that
I think that I will give up giving up something for lent
i htink DOING is a better option but compuer keeps me from DOING
I gave up penitence for Lent one year...
hello all. I am feeling ornery. can you tell?
Hello stidmama! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!
WHY is the one book assigned this quarter that really has meaning for me so dense that reading it is molasses in January slow?
hi stid/bye stid (phone - back in a bit)
LOL chased her away!
guessing we have lickety now?
I'm not a person who *normally* swears; but some drivers have made me swear with their dangerous driving. It's been really hard to NOT yell at bad drivers; and to turn that adrenalin surge into a rayer has really made a difference in how *I* feel
Lickety is up and running with one mistake stidmama
Lickety has 182 words. There is no th 6/27 in puzzle.
Hi stid
there is ONE th6/27, Min

hi NB.
Hello Nancy Boy! How are you doing? Welcome to grid
Nef! How are you?
I need to go and do some stuff; so I was just leaving for now. How are you doing NB?
And Minver! I'm doing alright thanks :) bit lonely in the flat recently since Leo has to work late this week, but luckily there is babble!
Goodbye Nef!I will see you later on in the chog maybe
How are things going for you these days? Have you seen your sister again?
Yes,there is ALWAYS Babble!I would rather not have my husband here so I can babble in peace Nancy Boy.
(I'm going to stall my DH for a bit, Min. Can't put stuff off too long, but maybe a few minutes)
Nancy!!! Hiya. And hi Nev,Minver, Pav. Anyone got clue for the second th6,27 please?
Hello hydra! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
hydra, there isn't a 2nd th 6/27 It's a misprint pl
The second th 6/27 is an extra word in Lickety's list.
Thanks so much, Nef. I was on earlier, puzzling over it.
LOL Min! Leo and I are in the honeymoon period ;)
And Hydra! Hello :)
Enjoy it while it lasts Nancy Boy. Hope it lasts longer for you. How long have you been together Nancy Boy
Been together for just over two years (on our two year anniversary he presented me with the key to his flat and asked me to move in) so living here is almost still a novelty. All the time I was at home, I had to keep it all very secret.
Leo sounds so romantic!
I wouldn't get disowned for just anyone, Hydra ;) I'll tell him you approve!
That's great. Hubby and I lived together for a LONG time before we got married. We were engaged for 3 years, but lived together for a long time before that.
I think that's the best way to go about it, Minver...have you two been together for a long time? If so, I'm willing to bet that's the secret of success!
Fireworks. I have to go in few minutes. anyone need any clues before I go.
nice one!
I once got married to someone and didn't tell a soul, not even my parents. Three years later I got an equally secret divorce! Hi kitty. Didn't know you were here.
Hi hydra. had my head buried.
So I'm confused. Your profile states you are 19 year old male.Are you babbling on boyfriend's account now
We've been married for 35 years; did not live together before marriage and still feel like newlyweds *most* of the time. DH has cabin fever right now so he's a bit more demanding than normal
Congratulations herekittykitty on fireworks! Hooray
Good morning all. How intriguing Hydra
That's incredible, Hydra! I couldn't keep a secret like that...I should have tried, but perhaps my parents might have started wondering where I was.
Just got my fireworks too. Hi lynxxx!
Nef, congratulations on staying together so long :)
hydra, HOW did you do that?
Hello lynxxx! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Congrats Hydr!
The postscript to my story was I needn't have bothered with either because he turned out to be a bigamist! One day I shall write my life story. Now I must go. Nite/morning all! *poof*
I'll buy the book Hydra - Byee
Hydra, I think you're great, but it's UNFAIR to drop a bomb like that and then leave!!
ahh Hydra. I have a similar story, spent a year with a man who had a "second" life. was a big secret and a waste.
Oh (not quite gone yet), it wasn't hard, Nef, as I was living in a different city. Oh kitty, I can't go now! Tell us more! There's obviously more of it around than I thought.
bye hyra
Bye hydra! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe
haha. he also lived in another city, and so we maintained two houses, with him spendng most time at mine.
the few times at was at his, was a very scheduled event. He had an exwife and children that i knew of, but during that time he reunited with her, that i didnt know of...
Geez, it almost sounds like it's the same guy, kitty and hydra!
could be. it was a great con he had going!
this is incredible, you two.
it is one of those things you hear about and think people cant pull off, but they can...esp when its a distance relationship.
Good grief, how complicated. kitty! Mind you, I also had a child and almost managed to keep that a secret, too, till someone saw my enormous bump and told my sister. Nef, my 'husband' had married an American, had two kids that I knew nothing about, obtained a divorce in Reno that wasn't recognised in the UK, so in the States he was divorced and in Britain he was still married. He's commited 'trigamy' now. Your story is much more dramatic and interesting, kitty
since the cat is out of the bag, he is alone, and his wife and I are becoming great friends....
Well, I've stalled long enough I guess. DH says I need to get dressed (for the first time today. It's 3 PM so he's probably right!)
There's a plot for a movie, kitty!
And now I really AM off! Bye, all.
yes, or maybe i will write a book. it has comedy and tragedy!
bye Nef, and Hydra
a book to movie deal!
nice to see you, Hydra :) and you too, Nef!
Do write a book, kitty! And I AM off for now. BBL! Bye!
all men i date from here on out i will insist on seeing proof of their eligibility to date!
i am off too! goodbye friends!
bye Kitty
Goodbye herekittykitty! I'll see you tomorrow maybe
soon we will have implant chips like cats and dogs and you will just be able to scan our stats :)
Hello crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!
good idea crossy....could someone clue the ch7?
hi Cross

Hi SeaSpray! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
am good Min and you?
I am well. Waiting to enter my last word until later on
oh right - he6 donkey talk - of course I twigged to that straight away
tylynnx
I did a paragraph of clues as I sat at 4/5 of my chair so here it is.I'm an aggresive driver. I am not the be 4/7 driver on this ea 5/12.I be4/7 my horn all of the time. When I drive my car,all be4/7 are off.I'm like a ch7/40 when I drive. It is not a tr5/10 to drive with hubby.He will wa5/22 everything I do. Hubby yells at me every time I drive, but I never want to he 4/5 it. Sometimes hubby and I will get into he4/5 arguments when I drive.Hubby yelling at me does not he4/5 the situation. I pl 4/5 with him to not yell at me. But it is ra4/4 for him to not yell at me when I am driving. He would ra5/12r yell at me than se6/18 for being quiet My hubby would ra 4/4 my driving a negative 10. He wonders how I ever passed driving te4/4.He thinks I am a he4/5 when I drive.Now he only le 4/4 me drive when he needs a designated driver. Hubby op4/5 for a designated drive a lot though.Sometimes I'd like to just kick him out of the car on his re 4/4 & have him call a taxi cab. However, I am careful when I drive in bad weather like sl 5/10. Then I drive slow because I have knots in my ch 5/14 and the he 5/12 palpitates from being nervous. So th4/5 is the end of my story. I have nothing el4/4 to say.I could get my butt in ge 4/6 and do some chores, but no, I ha 4/5 chores! I'll spend the rest of the day in and of out the ch4/6 log
Hey Min did you find chicktionary?
Hello EspritdJean. I did, but could not get any sound.

Can you put it in the chog and I can try it again now?
I'll try

I have it saved to my desktop but maybe the other stuff will help
someone has too much time on their hands (minveryork).
Thanks though!

Hello all. Between second and third periods in the hockey game. Such intenseness is very exhausting (and I'm only watching.)
Should I write a story using phantom words or would it confuse people? So many phantoms in puzzle today.
Hello stidgmere! How are you? Welcome to the chog!
I'm easily confused..lol but I'm into the t's
Hi Stid
Terrific cjmomma!
Last word is a T word,but saving it for now cjmomma

Very clever story Minveryork! Ty for the clues.

Goodbye stidgmere!I will see you tomorrow in the log

GOOOOOO CANADA,S HOCKEY TEAM!! 2-1 IN THE THIRD!!

PAH!
they had better get going then
just 16 minutes and its in the bag!

ohh we almost got another
ineeed,and yes the states also has a fine team
A lot can happen in the 3rd. Let's not cause trouble here in Babbleonia
nope,ill not argue,the states has put together a very fine team this year
personally, I just love the game, no matter who is playing, although I am slightly partial to the USA team just because that's who is representing us
any help with the es 7/32?
hello all

thanks! I could have sworn I tried that!
happens all the time
good evening everyone
hi mom. just came back from the viewing. it was devastating. funeral tomorrow promises to be the worst ever for me.
{{Dorens}} I am so sorry. Wish I could do something to help
Dorens, I feel your pain. I just buried my mom last Wednesday - one of the hardest
thanks.. time is all... I just keep thinking of that lovely family... I'm home now, so the pain is fading, but for them....
oh sorry joey. how are you feeling now?
My condolences, Joey
pretty awful. first time since then that I have been alone
thanks, mom
hi all
this is a former student, truly a golden girl. we were very close... but it is more the fact that she was just so good and bubbly and alive. with such promise. this is sadder for me than when my father died, and my mother-in-law.
sorry to hear of your mother's death joey
that must be terrible Joey.
thanks, jmcnrick
alone in the beginning is difficult joey... as i just said, time is the only thing that helps, but that is not much comfort now, i know.
my mother died in November
Dorens, how old was she? was it sudden?
lickity has 182 words, but babble has 181. I have been trying to find the ha 5/16. Am I missing it or is a phantom?
HI Jmc, sorry for the loss of your mom
jmcnrick, then you know how I am feeling. Mine lived with me and she was my best friend
She was just 17... a dreadful two months; she was in the ICU since first week of January. a condition called thyroid storm... massive organ failure
omg, i am so sorry
MizHoffle, there is a mistake, but I don't remember what the mistake is on Lickety
i was trying to be there for all my former students who might need help, and I nearly broke down at the open casket. I'm not good at those.
I am with you there, Dorens, I can't handle an open casket
I am sorry for your losses and send prayers to you
the mistake in lickety is the th6/27 I believe
i am jewish, and they just don't happen. first time i saw one i was already 40 years old, and i still haven't gotten good at it. But a 17 year old girl? who has been attached to machines for the last six weeks... oh. no. just horrible
ahh..then what is the ha 5/16?
whew!! some close calls in this last 5 minutes!!
down the ha***
what chicks do when they come out of the egg
I have ha6 as ha6 an egg to get a chicken
holy cow! thanks!
Dorens, the Jewish don't have open caskets?
none that i've ever been to. they may have them somewhere, but I've never seen it.
I have seen too many open caskets and it helps those for closure I guess, I would rather keep the picture of them alive in my memory
wow, unless the person was in a really bad accident they always seem to have open caskets down here
Amen Cjmomma
i've always managed to achieve closure without them. don't understand the need, but i realize this is cultural, and personal.
aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!
yahoooo
WOW!
US Scored!!!!!!!
very well played u.s
Wahoo!!!
tie game in last seconds!
turning to NBC
oh my
105
calm down Crossy
very well played.theese teams are well matched
wow that was cool!
how does hockey overtime work? sudden death?
I had a student murdered in my 4th year of teaching. Shot in his driveway and died in his mom's arms. Had an open casket.
neither team should feel bad if they lose,,,excellent game
how terrible tfg
oh my gosh tfgrrl
indeed nan,both teams are in top form
re: open/closed casket and Judaism - no prohibition against open casket, but impractical because of (1) no "viewing," (2) burial within 24 hours and (3) no embalming
how does the overtime work?
another period
Hi Welki, I had no idea
first to score
see http://tinyurl.com/yhs36h5 for scenario/explanation
It sucked, he had just finished his3rd week of his school. It was a neighbor dispute, not gang related and he had nothing to do with it.
I "think" they put another 4 minutes on the clock and obviously whoever scores and I think from there it's another 4 minutes...not sure
The open casket thing - it just looked nothing like the person I knew.
open caskets are not the custom here usually. My parents died in the USA and I'm afraid I disappointed some people by having closed caskets.
I need valium or a shot of Jack......or maybe both!
Hi Jill, why would they be disappointed?
crossy pours lady biotch a shot of his famous bacon vodka
Some said they wanted to see them again and say goodbye.
Hi all! I'm back after a short break.Any clues needed?
hockey master at my house says there's going to be 20 minutes more of hockey playing (4th period) and then, if still tied, then a "shoot out" - shots from center ice to goalie
ty welki
is that "maple sucking" bacon vodka?
I'm stuck can't see the th5/16
just a hint of maple
I think it would be easier to remember them the way they were. I have yet to see an open casket where the person looked like themself
I agree Mom
ah sudden death overtime! i always felt that was unfair
that's to welki's hockey master mine in napping (can you imagine?) otherwise I"might" have provided the correct answer
so they do it the way they do in soccer
we also tend to have closed caskets,last thing we want to see is our loved ones with the wrong hair style and made up like bobo the clown to hide medical or acedent trauma
*thanks to .... (must be that bacon vodka kicking in)
my grandparents donated their bodies to science and we did not get to have anything for them
napping during this game? a hockey fan?
That th 5/16 word is t plus the he 4/7 word cjmomma
ty Min
my husband was donated to science and then cremated and I had to pay for th**
Personally I dislike funerals, but understand if others feel the need I guess. As a Buddhist, the body is immaterial, mine's going to science, specifically going to be plastinated for people to learn from and stare at. LOL! And does anyone besides me think it's odd to also be discussing sudden death overtime?
yw cjmomma
carefull biotch,its 55% by volume,it sneaks up on you hehe
mom, that's the way I felt. I had to view them privately before the caskets were closed, for confirmation of identification, and as you say, they didn't look like themsleves at all.
we had a rough night kid drove her car off into a ravine on an entrace rap to the highway she is not hurt but we are pretty stressed out
hey it
your daughter, Lady?
s babbleland so it does not surprise me that we are talking about death and sudden death overtime
yikes lady!
I am glad that she was not hurt.
tfgrrl, i'm going to see bodyworks in april
Oh boy, bio!
so glad your daughter wasn't injured, bio
Here when they donate to science they cremate them when they are finished and call you to see if you want the ashes. No cost involved
weiki - someday that will be me! *big grin* if I don't get mutilated or something.
Woot fireworks!
i also plan on cremation
update: for the 20 min period, only 4 players and a goalie from each team will be on the ice
well he was specifically donated to NIH so maybe they have different rules
congratulations SeaSpray
whoo hooo Sea!
congrats SeaSpray
ty mom
B - one of reasons I'm glad I don't have kids is I don't have to worry about them driving, that would make me nuts. I'm so glad she's O.K.
yaa for seaspray!!
My dad will donate his body when he passes, hopefully not for another 24 years or so
where's that cheerleader girl that shakes the pompoms and dances????
he died of an obscure disease that NIH was studying
haven't seen her today, Lady
FIL is being cremated...MIL is not happy
*-8-*
I am so sorry Jmcnrick
my aunt told me there's something called the neptune society in the states ... prepaid cremation, sort of like a pick-up service, all done ahead of time, very simple. (we don't have a program like that up here ... not that i could find, anyway)
I am also of the opinion that EVERYONE should sign their organ donor cards. It's not a decision your family should have to make at a time like that, but you can save/improve the lives of a lot of people.
Congratulations SeaSpray on fireworks! Good for you
I haven't heard of that, Welki
ty it was a while ago --15+ years (some are probably getting tired of hearing me talk about it!)
that is true welki
ty all
i sign my card every time i renew it;)..liver is shot,but they might get some use out of the rest
oh I don't know, Jmcnrick, this is the first I have heard you speak of it
don't think being cremated ahead of time appeals to me ;-)
it's just where you can have it set up ahead of time so nobody has to make decision
sorry, seapray, I missed your finish -- YAY for you!!!
well if you think about it, every time you go out in the sun without sunscreen....
lol jmc
ty jilli
cross - maybe you should cut back on the bacon and jack?
lol
I suppose I should go wash the dishes. Cabanna boy has gone to the basement. :)
someone has some jack? *holds out glass*
we want you to be around for a long long time!
I SO don't want an open casket. Don't care for being cremated either, but guess it doesn't matter since I won't feel it.Guess open casket doesn't matter since I will not see everybody staring at me either.
He did clear the table before he went down there though.
copied your lil cheddar meat loaf recipie mom,will give it a go tommorow
sure you will Min, you will be looking down from above and watching them
organ donation is the way to go, and then there's a "natural" or "green" funeral - no embalming, no casket, just stuff that will decompose and return "dust to dust"...that's my choice
Is this a Cabanna boy thing a rental or answered and ad in the paper or what? I've always kinda wanted one.
Ok Crossy, let me know how you like them. The topping makes them so good
i have some jmc,come and wet yer nose;))
Well, then in that case, I do not want an open casket
*licking lips*
oh no Java, I don't want bugs crawling on me
which is worse -- this conversation or watching the hockey game?
tfgrrl, my cabanna boy is my husband of 27 years.
tell your family min -- dont leave them guessing
java? you sound a lot like a player i've been wondering about ... has java always been your nickname?
not sure Jili
LOL jillibus!
the hockey game seems pretty interesting too
ohh! game is back on...semi-poof!
Yes, it has....
bye Crossy, stay calm
java - I was just thinking the same thing, leave my bod out in the mounts. for the animals, crawl off to die. I think it's illegal, but how can they prosecute you if you're dead?
I've got to work on words here...
Don't need to tell them.Open casket isn't a tradition.
sorry crossy i assumed you knew
if it matters to you, you should tell your kids
It's legal in some areas, in some cemetaries...and, no since there's no embalming, you wouldn't want a viewing.
something new the past few years,,only 4 players in overtime
ty nana i did not know th**
<-- will donate what's usable or interesting for research, cremate the rest and (hopefully) be scattered on water, preferably the atlantic, but any old puddle will do in a pinch
Committing suicide is only a crime if you succeed. A failed attempt means you need psychological help. So if you succeed,you've broken the law.What are they going to do tfgrrl?
threw my husbands cremains among the roses at my Friends Meeting
off I go, thanks for the interesting conversation. {{Hugs}} to all of you
see ya Mom
we have great roses there with lots of illegally disposed of cremains
bye bye cj
bye mom
Adios Mom!I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe
bye bye jmc and Min
crossy more vodka, please and thank you
lot of nitrogen for the roses :)
I put my mom under the daffodils in my front yard...she loved daffodils. And suicide is illegal, so if you fail, I think they jail you.
(actually, my mom's ashes)
i have never heard of anyone jailed for failed suicide attempt
I thought they were put in the psych ward
*whew* I was really sure you should not have just put your mom there!
neither have i ... forensic detention for the purpose of psych eval, but never heard of a prosecution
ohhhCANADA!
*fireworks*
and the fat lady sings
canada won!
Canada wins!
it was a good game
Congrats, Canada!
whooo hooo cj!
BOOOOOOYAAAAA!
Crosby!!! Goal!!! YAY!!!!!
Don't think you go to jail for attempting suicide.You go to a mental hospital which might be like jail java2.
yay for canada and its gold
yay for the US and its silver!
ty U.S for a good game,well played
Phew!
after losing the first game to us,,they didnt dare lose this one,,they took the heat big time,,,
Congratulations cjmomma on fireworks! Good for you
good thing Sydney is cute, or I really be pissed!!!
congrats to Canada!
congrats to the USA for a great challenge!
it was a FANtastic game
Well played by both teams. Someone had to lose. All players should be proud of the way they played.
was anyone's game at that point ... too bad they coulodn
couldn't divide the gold
US should not be so sad!
losing team is always sad I noticed
i am glad they shake hands
same way when the women played
fierce competitors .. or they wouldn't be olympians
it annoys me th** professional baseball teams don't
now they come back to the usa and player together, lol
u.s should be proud,this game was as close as could be in shots on goal and everything else.congrats on the silver u.s
You just wait til, um I was gonna say next year, but I guess it's 4 years till the rematch. We kinda had to let you win or we'da never heard the end of the sobbing and whining up north.
MVP is apparently the US goalie Ryan Miller yes?
ok gotta get working on the laundry and bedding, see you all soon =)
i work with an olympian ... it's not the same as, say, school sports where it's 'not how you played...
yes jmc
well that is a nice touch
helps balance things a bit
I was kidding of course did you hear about the Russian who was pissed he got silver and says on FB it is platinum?
Congratulations tfgrrl on your pro status. Good for U
if you're not the winner and place second, you're the 'first loser' .. i don't agree with that, i feel that just making it to the olympics is an accomplishment, but these athletes compete to win
trg when did you turn pro?
just now?
Just seconds ago I saw a silhouette & now I see icon.
they are professional players, its their job
wtg tfgrrl, you ethnocentric gal, you
TY Min I actually did it yesterday and just changed my pic now
congratulations tfg!
YESSSSSS!! 3-2 in overtime -- a well fought, well played game
you are late cyber we already threw the confetti! lol
whew!
had to take time to update the icon first
do you think they will bring beer, champagne and cigars to the celebration or did the women's team teach them a lesson?
interesting icon tf
I must say the peer pressure was astonishing, and you are most delightful and enlightening group of folks. Never know what is going to be discussed here, and I since I don't have a TV, you guys ever keep me up on events.
I think they will check to make sure there are no cameras around first!
lol we watch tv events together often!
Sea - it combines two of my great loves, coffee and space.
ok, she's roped in, now. thinks we're delightful and enlightening. honeymoon's over ... let it all hang out!
Java gave me the idea
i admit watching Obama's inaugural with babbleland was very very special
I bet if the guys did it, nothing would be said
Congrats team USA on garnering the most medals in the games.
*tummy plops over top of belt* flapita flapita
Muffintop!
ROFL JMC!
Congrats Canada on the most gold medals.
anyone want clues while I am here?
What idea tfgrri? Sorry, was watching the "other" screen
what a relief not having to hold in my gut anymore to impress tfg!
no clues, thanks .. but while you're up, can you get me a hard lemonade from the fridge?
Is that why you were always making that funny face?
lol I do find that to be a habit
sorry -- no can do -- a glass of wine perhaps?
wait until you see jmc in her foil hate
rats! you noticed!
and hat, too
Your name java my icon
I never ha** any one
but i send them to the pb *pushes welki*
i made the correction .. don't get twitchy
Oohh! Glad to be of assistance
rats foiled again?
enjoy, everyone -- back at the flip :)
lol tfg
bye cyber
bye cybernan
but you used a word welki *shoves welki again*
BTW is chog the super secret name for the thing we're typing in right now?
"twitchy" is in the grid?
*pushes her back* fine. i'm off to spend a few minutes with gianni.
tfg, welcome to pro-hood! Now you need your flad etc -- just go to your My Account and check that little box, upper right, where is says Show Profile :)
Hey, I work at Flad...
*runs to My Account to find her flad*
hey, i want a flad!
flad, chog, monkey .... all this babble babble
I didn't find a flad
i know the usa is upset at not winning gold, but they'
*giggle*
oh phooey, typo time again -- *flag
whats a flad?
they're just being downright rude to the medal/flower presenters
call the Flad police
who's being rude?
how so welki? they are shaking hands and saying ty
(and for those who don't know, i'm canadian and american)
someone needs to tell shay webber to get his hand out of his pants
they are disappointed so they are not going to be jumping up and down and smiling
i didn't see much thanks .. i saw a lot of scowling and gruff gestures
i don't see that they're doing anything different than the canadians, other than not smiling, and looking pretty depressed.
hang on.
my tv just froze
Their pants are so big, it would probably take a long time to find anything.
oh no feather!
I don't think Flad has police - maybe just construction inspectors
refresh, please
there we go, fixed it
just in time
sorry still just seeing the fish worship
tell me what it is because i don't want to reboot
Hey that Canadian dude is kinda cute.
i know they're disappointed, but they would set a better, more sportsmanlike example to the kids of the world if they'd accepted their medals graciously
(just the usa flag for me)
i think they were pretty gracious -- they all shook hands and said ty (I can read lips that well)
(oh okay)
great anthem!!!
i think they were fine for just losing the gold medal.
Wow -- announcer just said Canada has broken the all time record for gold medals in one Olympic Games -- I think it's 14.
I always thought hockey players were kinda scruffy, but he's #87 who is that?
my favorite anthem is Scandinavia
yes it is 14 jill
oh my, i would NOT want to be there now with those fireworks! ouch!
wow I hope they are outdoors!
we saw the same thing differently. i saw sourpussed boys reluctantly and grudgingly accepting something they really didn't want (understandable, but i think you know what i mean)
sorry finlandia *smacks brains*
Please tell me they are NOT indoor with those fireworks!
that's sydney crosby, he's a canadian who plays for the pittsburgh penguins (thanks, husband)
think so tfgrrl!
they are indoors :)
People haven't learned anything from setting off fireworks in bars killing people? White Snake?
crosby is cute
Who is #87???????
yes, tomorrow he plays for a US team
the announcer's voice is cracking
are you watching online tfgrrl?
i just posted, tf ..l look down
87 is crosby
btw, hi tfgrrl, don't think we've "met" before. i'm an oldtime babbler, and mostly lurk these days.
Come on Canadians, you must know, um, no I'm at an IHOP, *blushing deeply* you caught me.
gotta go get the munchkins in bed. cya!
Hi feather, I just joined
ttfn, feather
there is a tv at the IHOP?
Nice TY jmc. He was the one with his hands in his pants?
bye feather
no something Webber had his hands down his pants
He can puts his hands in my pants! Maybe he needs to keep them warm after a long game.
lol
Yes, this one has not 1 but 2 TVs and is open 24/7 with WiFi internet
down my pants is completely different than down his pants on international tv!
IHOP were always 24 hours
and need I mention it ..... coffee as much as you can drink.
Touche.
tv and wifi are new to me
Unfortunately in LA very little is 24 hours.
really i would have thought a lot would be
What a game! Congrats to Canada on a fantastic win!
*crickets*
Yeah, I don't know how they keep it secret, LA kind of shuts by 11 and bars by 2 nothing like New York.
hi stidgmere! And congrats to the USA for a great game -- so exciting!
sheesh i can find more late night places in DC!
When I lived in LA in the 70's though, it was my first time being able to grocery shop 24/7.
Hi jilli! We must meet now that the games are over and things will be settled at the borders.

Thank you all for the onerous he clues. I really thought I was going to have to bail with only one left.
YEA! KAPLAN, I suck at giving clues, I'm going back to searching.
Hi jmc. could not start until the game was over
YAY Kaplan!!!
i understand -- yay cananda
Congratulations Kaplan the Magne on fireworks! YAY
It was the 6:15 clue that did it. Thank you.
Yes thank GOD for BR!
BabbleRabble is the best cluer
Yay Canada, eh Bugs
Yay canada
HI flosey. Yes I am feeling very proud right now. I had no idea that we could do as well as we did. Canadians seemed to have 4th place in the Olympics pretty well locked up until now
I liked how fast the game was playe d but it was very rough tho.
yes Bugs - even in the previous 2 Canadian Olympics, no gold! They did us proud
fierworks
whoo hoo pug!
Hi bugs and flosey (I'm just back from a little break, with 60 to go)
wtg pugs
YAY pugmama. well done
YAY pug!!!
80 left
great game eh Jilli
Hi jilli. Are you feeling proud too?
I've posted a bit in my profile about "O Canada" if anyone is interested in its history.
I'm busting out all over, bugs!
good for you jilli
:-) if not US then Canada I always say
congrats Canadians & Happy Babbling to all...need to rest this headache...Poof!
And I trotted out to the beginning of my driveway, waving our flag, and putting it out to greet passers by.
I love your line "from sea to sea to sea" jilli. Who do we contact about making that the new line?
Bugs, for starters your local MP ?
I am so proud of you for showing your patriotism that way jilli
my local MP is a goof
Thanks, bugs -- I wish I knew who would pay any attention -- and I learned last night that there can be a very negative response to any change.
oh dear, bugs, well, even if he/she is a goof, perhaps your letter would be passed on
I love it Jili and forgive my geoignorance, what is the third sea? I really wish they would change our ridiculous anthem
make a youtube with cute kids or hockey players singing the new line
what happened last night?
(artic)
or cute kids playing hockey
Jilli, you can sing my/our national anthem however you wish, it does not offend me - your wording does not offend anyone
the third sea is the one on top -- the Arctic Ocean, tfgrrl
great idea jmc!! we can get a gathering of Babble grandkids
or cute hockey players with kids, the permutations are endless
I didn't think it did, flosey, but you can check the archive
they do look young don't they
Good point tf, there were some cute players when they all took their helmets off and smiled
TY I thought it might be, and for my money you an have it, brrrrrrrr.
Time to go be creative in the kitchen. Again, thanks for very inspirational Olympic games. We went to Vancouver in November and thought the preparations were excellent.
yes, I did jilli, was tempted to make a comment at the beginning of next grid - yes? or no? some will never change
I did think it was sad that the U boys seemed so down. They could not have played any harder than they did and a silver medal is nothing to be disappointed in
Yup, there was one in particular I went on about a bit.
Nice to have "seen" you gmere -- bfn
clue for the ar. I have ar 4/4 and ar 5/10
to be fair they had to get their metals within minutes of losing
ar + what you wear on your head
ar4 - a plot of land, or whatever, and the 5 add a vowel
both teams played a great game, it was a thrill to watch
good point jmc. perhaps with time they will perk up and be proud of how they worked at such a rough game
I think, with the exhaustion they must all have been feeling, it was quite a letdown, after the tie so close to the end of the game
oh, Virtue and Moir are on again (replay)
I saw them and they were fantastic
they skate so beautifully together, and that Canada Goose bit (isn't that what they called it) was icing on the cake
Even Olympic athletes who win often experience profound depression after the games. They spend so much of their lives in build up to that and then what? It's over and........?
exactly tf
At least if you lose and you're young enough you still have a goal.
Yonge and Dundas in Toronto is blocked out - just a mass of partying
**blocked off**
Sooo much pressure is put on these kids, they were talking about that might be why the US nordic combined team did so well this year, because they are all old for athletes, in their 30s+
my son in Vancouver was worried about riotting when it went to overtime. It would have spoiled the whole thing if that had happened
THey've had kids etc. Know there is more to life. Same thing is often true with marathoners and other sports where athletes are allowed to mature past their 20s.
tfgrrl I thot older people were much better at the endurance things. I remember hearing that in long track traces
I assumed it meant they were better at enduring pain than younger ones. A nurse at the hospital told me they could always tell if people were under 21 or over 21 by the way they accepted that pain relief would not be instantaneous
Hmm and what do you think would be the Darwinian explanation for that? It has been noticed that Tri athletes and distance runners who go off and have kids (women) often come back stronger than ever.
because nothing hurts like popping out a baby -- everything el** is easy
LOL jmc
That's an interesting thought, but you also have Kenyans and Ethiopians who can run the pants off anyone at any age. Men and women
*puff puff ee ee puff puff ee ee*
running barefoot on the nettles
*ee ee ee ee ee ee*
lol jmc,
*giggle*
Eeew nasty nordic crash on the tube.
just don't get too cranky at transition jmc!
just hearing from online bridge players
eh?
Speaking of distance sports and things that hurt
Don't you remember transition? Apparentlym just at the point where you are allowed to push, women get very cranky and usually berate their partners pretty badly. My ex said the first sign of my labour was transition.... :)
ah well after 4 days of induction they gave me a C-section
my son was 12 lbs
bugs, when I had our kids, hubbys were not allowed in
WOW!! I would hope they'd to a C
oh my goodness jmc!! I have never heard of a 12 lb baby that wansn't in the National Enquirer
Twelve pounds? What the heck did you eat????????
same here re hubbies not allowed in -- and when my son was born I had to remind them to let him know -- he had been sent home, and they had forgotten.
it was a surprise
They sent him home? While you were in labor?
Transition was described to - an experienced by - me as the feeling that you can't and WON'T do it!
I think my ex was referring to how I woke him up at 1:30 in the morning to say the baby was coming. He growled, "I KNOW it is coming. It has been coming for 9 months now." and I was not impressed with his level of excitement.
lol, hubby said wait until morning to call me !!!
At that weight I think I would have split the difference and gone for twins. :-)
because he had to be at school that day
ethel
the first words of his life were "OMG he is going to start kindergarden in two weeks"

I am sooooooo not having kids of my own! Adoption, foster, staring loving at others.
ROFL jmc
totally worth it tfg
in the sky with diamonds
So I've heard, parent conferences are so much fun
when i would walk down the hall you could tell when people started running down the hall to look at babies they were looking at mine
diamonds are a girls best friends
and then there's pearls of wisdom
pooh the last parent conferences i did i told the staff to call when they had something useful to say
pearls before swine
Definately worth it tfg. I fostered, adopted and had home made ones. Fostered and adopted had to wait a while before they could accept love and know it was real. It hurts sometimes
java is really good at distracting from slipups. I shall endeavor to learn from her.
but ethel isn't in the grid
good for you Bugs, I think that's wonderful - daughter has considered it
my hub and i were thinking about adopting as well but ahem he died so we didn't
Yeah, it's always the parents you don't need to see who show up on PC night, it's the ones you have to call.
can anyone clue the he6/36 please?
it's the one after the metric acre
a piece of property
it's a measure of land - and thanks!
Hello, we caught your 7th grade son having sex in the stairwell.

Old TV show in a corn field ..
a country tv show with buck owens and roy clark
Advise her to get as young a child as possible Flosey.
Was he alone?
aren't you clueing the he7/36?
lol java!
oh, sorry, you mean he7/32:
oops - you're right!
Or, please come pick up your child, due to his inability to stop spewing profanity at the teachers.
you don't ignore that?
I mean he6/36, the one after what you've been clueing, which is the metric acre
Yeah, there's never an excuse for that
the one i am cluing is the he6/36 after the land unit
jilli, That's what jmc and I clued ..
the tv show with country music and bad jokes
Corny old TV
well, it kind of depends on how loud they are yelling, if what is being thrown along with it is bigger than a breadbox.
he6/36 is a donkey noise jillibus if you need the word
he + brit goodbye, + a period of time as in the golden ***
oh throwing things is different
Back on the olden days when I was young, kids never spewed profanity at teachers or anyone else. What's happened?
Maybe they didn't get it in Canada ..
that's not very good jilli, but it's hard
thanks, min!
but people call me up and swear and threaten to kill me and i just laugh
IF it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.... IT was here Torgone
yw
how about laugh+direction for a horse
oh, sorry jilli, I was giving clue for he7/32
or trying to
Hmmm, jmcnrick, I think I'd change my phone number.
can't i run a hotline
I got a story of clues in my profile if anyone needs it.
well if they just called it in, it would be different. Heck, I'd give em my cell #. Trying to teach recurring theme while it's going on, or the rules for joining sentences together while a student is mocking you is tedious.
cute icon java - seems it was created for you
sorry, torg and jave -- I didn't see your excellent clues -- I do have the post-game show on TV
i give advice to people in the military about there rights and help conscientious objectors to war get out

Glad you noticed your spelling mistake jmcnrick.Glad you know the difference between the two.Misspelled words is a pet peeve of mine along with bad grammar

*confused look*
yeah, it's been mentioned on my public radio station and and oh what's it called Radio America?
Amy Goodman?
Nuts, when I get excited I can't think straight, there's station in LA that carries a lot of lefty programs and it's been talked about on there. I don't know a lot, but it sounds like you do good work.
its fine this is not a te**! lol
My dad was a C. O. in Vietnam
very cool

who thinks nbc
s oylmpic coverage ws the worst EVER?
hire you, hell, I'll marry you if you're free
i do, TO!
we would have to wait a couple of weeks before it is legal in dc
sorry, tfg, married. hubz is pretty good at cleaning house, but is a mess in my kitchen!
I think it was abotu as bad as last Winter Olympics. there are some problems...TO.
I dont go for women, but if you want to cook, clea and walk dog and not interefere wiht my life...why not!
this is the first time ididn't even view skating full time it was so bad
NBC sucks eggs - especially their online "offerings" Complete waste of time .. /rant
NBC is so myopic, only the east coast gets priority. very biased and overall poopy! but that's just my opinion
and this is why I'm still single. *sigh* oh are they finally making it legal in DC? Wish CA would figure things out, kind of embarrassing
let's vote on wha were the worst segments. 1. bobsled accident footage.
seaplane feature
don't hold back lbd tell us what you really think
I will admit I missed so muct of it due to work...
what makes canadians funny segment
start at the beginning, TO. delayed opening ceremonies for the WEST coast! hello!? Vancouver is on the WEST coast!
Hey tfgrrl .. Pay for my gas and I'll cook for you ..
the effing cooking the canadian way features. rather would have seen lesser known athletes featured.
I don't understand why anyone bothers with American TV. I shot my TV several years ago and haven't missed it a bit.
if congress doesn't veto it (as you know we are a colony and therefore guys from Montana get to make our laws)
I mean it isnt the go on a tour or cook olympics.
cooking the canadian way?
Yes, they shouwed us how to flipping bread fish.
oh crap i missed that one
tfgrrl, USA has a few new series that I rather enjoy...
ROFL
"In plain sight" is one, but you can view it on line
geez, i'm glad i didn't watch much of the olympics. the cooking feature would have had me going nuts
uh i seem to recall people in the US (and france and spain and england. . . . ) doing that
not tomention having to suffer bob costas' shoeblack hair
You can get almost anything on Netflicks or the net.
lol TO
i like Good Eats
i was saving memeorable quotes but lost them
and of course the Daily Show
i like the food channel most of the time. the food challenges are getting old tho
I am ashamed if they actually put a segment on called why Canadians are funny. I apologize on behalf of the idiots of my country.
does ra8 build off the ra7?
i use Hulu a lot
yes, jmc
i apologize they put SCTV on a par with jim carrey
hmm, john candy was pretty funny
tor - we're practically neighbors - and I own a hybrid!
jim carrey---gag
Nice ..
he has his moments
eugene levy. rob thomas. catherine o'hara. martin short. amdrea martin. dan ackroyd
Don't forget Red Green ..
unfortunately they are few and far between
just to name a few, TO lol
now i never got into that
alex trebek
SCTV was hilarious ..
the BEST
edith prickley
is the only character i remember by name
it's been so long since i've watched sctv, i can't remember any of the folks on it, let alone the characters!
Now if they combined cooking with say, bobsled and you had to complete the dish by the end of the course, or curling, and instead of a rock you used a hotpot.
Count Floyd ..
lol tfg
yes! joe daley, i forgot him
One of the sweepers had a spoon instead of a broom and your food was not allowed to burn
girl you are cracking me up !
back in a nonce.
Well it would be more of a food challenge and the audience could eat it at the end.
Apparently lbd needs to go put on a nonce ..
they could use the new figure skating scoring system to rate it
better than going on a binge
Yeah, I wonder if there will be pics. I've always wanted to try one but didn't think it would be flattering.
LOL - To!
I am done! I have fireworks!th5/16 was my last word
whooo hooo min!

i know, i need to show my face more often. i'm coming out of lurker status. i have babble on my first tab always, and check in on the conversation frequently, but haven't said hi much lately.
feather...hi!
i am giving it up for lent except on weekends after tongiht
to what are giving up?
watching the ceremonies
wow TO I am not sure I could
on line games
all of them?
very impressive
except babble!!!!!
too many things not geting done here, everyo so often i find the need for a babbatical
I gave up take out pizza, and finding it hard.
i gave up soda, and lasted 2 days. pitiful.
babbatical OMG! I have to find a way to use that in conversation. ROTFLMAO!
hmmm i didn't give up anything this year
i prefer DOING something to abstaining
I'm giving up not giving up anything. Said that before
feather! there is still time!
of course, i have an excuse (to me)...back to back migraines trying to intrude nightly for 4 nights, only relieved once we got the blizzard!
i gave up - nevermind...

hi stiddy! nope haven't heard from anyone across the pond

nope, didn't do this one.
*gasp* *checks for other end-of-universe signs* but but but...

oh! I see -- you have abandoned us! *wicked mama grin
feather has another addiction now...scrabble.
all are well. daniel's into this really strange phase right now where he actually invites nick into his room to play with him, and has even gone so far as to make nick breakfast one morning.
LOL TF -- only in DIRE emergencies...
no... heathers addiction is farmville
Checking her pro rule book, where did it say that? *squinting at the tiny lines* Hmm maybe I'll get some papers graded this week
nope, not abandoned. just turned stalker. er, i mean, lurker.
wow. that is, um, BIZARRE! but very very nice. you have lovely boys, feathger
went
and. . . .you don't even have to finish if you start tfg!
i'm waiting till i top out on this one level in FV, then hanging up my trowel.
nice one weed... hanging up the trowel
Bye 72 Temple Owl! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
that' such a sweet memory to have about Daniel and Nick.
ya, know I'm thinking this might be that night jmc. I am making like no progress. Maybe I should hang up my towel as well.
yes, sweet memory... enjoy it while you can
nonono, tfg. you're just getting started!
oh, that farm game has Tom totally sucked in. I am very glad I don't do that one.
th5/16 after movie

aww, stid missed my nick and 911 story!
I saw that one feather
my 911 story is different
what grade do you teach, tfg?
I know jmc, I was checking to see if anyone was looking.
my hubby and i were sitting on the couch looking at tv when all of a sudden. . .
I want to avoid 911 stories...
amen, red
Doesn't everyone babble in a towel? I teach 6,7,8
I have a 911 story too... not one i care to relive
no this one is okay!
kje, we got 2 codes today at 702 pm and 708 pm....
*faints*
i teach kindergarten tf
one was a feller I discharged yesterday...
i saw that red! quite the adrenaline rush!
i love that age, tfg. they are soooo funny!
Wow, you must have tons of energy, I could never do kinder.
oooooohh, bad one red
like 6-7-8 doesn't take energy
what do those codes mean?
love it, love how they change through the year. don't want to teach any other age!
That's exactly how you have to think about it ibd, otherwise you want to kill them all the time. Code means they died
Yes indeed...I thought so kje. the whole day was that way to make room for code, suddenly my bowl perf with bladder abscess and sugar of 500 was put in the effing hallway1
No code means they tried to die.
i hope you told them no to red
GRoooooosss! What hosp do you work at?
one of the Florida Hospitals.
OK, have work to do - see ya later
yikes, what a chaotic day for you red!
try to come down off that adrenaline high red...
jmc, I did but well, lets all move on to discussing the odd weather again!!!
O.K. well they tried and you tried to bring them back.
bye kje!
lbd that was all int eh last 2 hours..
i will finish my story as a distraction. . .
tfg several of them did survive today.
so suddenly. . . .
so, what's the 911 story? i'm hangin' here!
thank you
kje, I gotta admit, I dont really get that excited anymore.
I always got kinda shaky after a code, so it's a good thing I'm a teacher, but I get shaky after fights too.
four police cars come driving up into my yard and the cops leap out andbang on my front door
my hubby and i nearly jump out of our skins and run to the door
night night, KJE
whaaaa?
bye kje
so the cops say who is committing suicide?
we blink and look at each other and say "What?"
we had a 911 call for this address for a suicide
nice, they sent the cops and no bus?
no, no suicide here.
anyone el** in the house? only my son we say
did he call?
major heart attack, but not suicide! gees
no he is only 2 and asleep
oh no, wrong address?
i pointed out that the next street up was a rhyming word and two of them ran up there but ultimately it turned out to be a crack call
we're all waiting breathlessly, aren't we? lol
odd evening though
crack or crank?
holy crap! a prank? not a very funny one!
jmc, thats a good story!
A crack call???? We get those all the time in LA ha ha haha
ahem crank
i hope they caught the wiseass, who thought that was funny. grrrrr

kenzie perhaps you should raise your issues in an appropriate forum rather than a chatlog for a word game most ten year-olds would be scared off by
kenzie, it's been a long day, and most of us don't really know how to talk to a 10 year old. we're all many years past that age.

*POOF*
I would too, except that it makes me giggle, but then I find a lot of body parts amusing.
bye min
tf, I guess you know there is a Canadian history magazine which called itself The Beaver but recently changed its name because of the present connotation.
bye min
go mkg
good night min sleep well
explains the choice of grades you teach ;-)
sweet dreams min
Is that the magazine that used to be published by HBC? -- maybe still is for all I know
what grades do you teach tf?
oh too bad jill
And I remember my dad telling me that in his youth the term was used for men with beards
ta 5 18?
maybe, nan
th6/21?
nm got it.
not to beat this to death with a stick but when I was a Cub Scout den mother they gave out an award to the older members called the Silver Beaver
th 6 27 first one please.
Nu-uh! you don't hear beaver much any more, maybe a 70s thing. I had a guy try to pick me up the other night who kept calling it "box" - college kid, very annoying.
nm
mkg== palm roof
I hate to see a perfectly good word abused that way!
And it is totally why I teach middle school 6, 7, 8 I totally have that sense of humor.
ich ich ich
box is an oldie
great clue. ty.
Think how the animal feels
there is only one th 6/21 -- the first one in Lickety's list shouldn't be there
ah, middle school... that is what I am thinking of teaching. having second thoughts at the moment...
need first te 5 12 please.
you mean the second th 6/27
dentures mkg
It takes a special kinda person I think stid
i only see one th 6 21 in list.
6th grade boys never change
boy these T's are killers!!!
maybe he fixed it
7
I luv the stuff they think they can get away with.
dentures is second te 5 12. i need first one please.
I will decide after I actually student teach. Right now I am observing and it's a different thing. But when I have worked with middle school kids I have enjoyed it.
tough grid. still 5 to go.
te: beginning for electronics word + british thanks
I am down to my age... my real age. not my profile age. I don't think there's enough time left... LOL
Not a day goes by when I am not amused by something. Probably the only thing that really keeps me in after 10 years in South Central.
thanks for that nan!
or perhaps I should say modern science and industry
go stid go
Thinking of the Olympics, does anyone know anything about the guy from ?Ghana? who was called the Snow Leopard? I read about him before the Olympics but never heard anything during.
ty got it.
Gasp! People lie about their ages on here?
Yeah, I'd like to know too jili
I think a middle school teacher without a sense of humor doesn't last long. I am trying to learn what things to let slide and what things need to be addressed. fine line sometimes.
3 to go.
need th 6 27 clue for second one. and the th 5 20 please.
wow. *viewing mkg's blistering quick progress*
something is wrong. lickety says one more word.
go mkg go
Apparently he has started up a foundation to protect the snow leopard funded by a line of clothing he promotes.
t + a boat's decktop door, h5
lickety has an extra th mkg
yes, lickety has an extra th 6/27 apparently
Yeah, it took me about three years to not be so serious teaching actually forced me to learn to be funny at least on their level.
did he perform in the Olympics?
te4/4 before exam
got the one you clued. hmmm
maybe google will tell me
does lickety have extra th 5 20? if not i am issing that one.
yes, I think ski slalom -- but it may have been snowboard
The stuff they pay attention to cracks me up, like what shoes you wear, and they get all into your personal life if you let them.
yes mkg
th and vegetables not cooked
ty west.
his goal was not to come in last, and he placed 52nd out of 53 in his event
done. whew. and time for sleep. gnight all. thannks for super super duper clues tonight. great clueing.
good for him!
good for him
Yay mkg !!!
whoo hooo mkg
awe, I bet the guy who came in last felt kinda bad.
te 4/4 before exam
I keep thinking that I have found all possible words without the list, and then I see another or something gets clued.
sweet dreams and YAY mkg!
maybe he was just happy to be there?
plural of Israeli hill *** Aviv
I think all of the athletes should be proud of their accomplishments --- it is a big deal just to meet world standard and qualify in their sports.
ty west
yw jmc
The Ghanaian had never actually skied before or even seen snow!
5 left
agree nan it was an Olympics to be proud of
*qualify to come to the games, I mean
that is what I think, nan. I wish the focus were less on "winning" (making everyone else losers) and more on personal be4s and good strong attempts.
Ghana skier Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong, more commonly known as Snow Leopard, on Saturday achieved his Olympic goal -- of not coming last in the slalom. That dubious honour went to Albania's Erjon Tola, who finished 48th, a massive one minute, 4.56 seconds behind Italian gold medallist Giuliano Razzoli.

Sochi is beautiful, west.
I haven't been there, but my friends have and the pics they showed me were lovely
*stand corrected, -- guess it was 47th out of 48
te and last ***in to Clarksville
going to look at Sochi
stid I would think they'd have summer olympics there
okay, down to 39 and going to study a bit. back later to make an attempt at not coming in last... ;-)
why summer, west?
the mountains are very close, and very cold in the winter...
think you're ok there I'm at 77
because it's on the Black Sea
have i mentioned i hate this grid???? !!!!
albania has snow
I've always wanted to go to Odessa in the summer
on Saturday it was 5C warmer in Sochi than in Vancouver
sochi is where the Russian presidential summer palace is
ty west
yes, it might make a good summer olympics venue too. Like Vancouver would. Or Seattle ... (putting in an early bid for 3002)
i think i remember you mentioning it rep
LOL now to work! *poof*
lol, stid
I'll try to stay alive until then stid lol

troll baiting is such a waste of time
bye
amazingly, yes, west!
but it was fun tonight jill
I missed that fun, jmc
I came in at the end was she really a 10 year old girl?
well if you dont enjoy it it is just as well
if she was she was the most randomly bad speller
and i know my bad spelling since i never could spell
She knew her liquor, though...
we never managed to out her completely
oh really?? lol
but it was fun for a while
I watched the closing ceremonies -- thought the spoof of cliches was fun but didn't think much of the rest -- the jokes fell flat and I'm not a fan of rack music although the hip-hop finale was good.
anyway i gots work early tomorrow so i will be shoveling off
*poof*
*rock music
G'night, jmc...

tfgrrl, if you have a PC you can get BabbleExpert for free. It puts everything on one page, and has a box where if you type one word it goes to both the Word list and Lickety's automatically, and if you type more than one it goes to the chat.
Babble Expert huh? I am going to look into that
back to see if my new icon took
Could not be any cuter!
you just need to email Lickety for it
Cool TY for the tip, the switching back and forth is giving me a headache
I was hoping to break 50 but I'm at 66 and fading fast
yw -- it's a lifesaver -- but doesn't work with Macs
yes, flosey, it worked -- adorable! Ruru will be jealous of such a nice picture!
tf, just ask for clues -- or go to morewords (which also can be opened on the same page, covering the chat temporarily, with Espert

Reparteena, I just saw that you mentioned the Moghegan Sun.....used to go there....the blue tree is, indeed lovely.
that's what I'm finding jilli - guess I'll have to start using pics of sweet William
flosey, i before e except after c, or when sounded as an a, as in neighbour or weigh (or in weird words) -- so it's retriever ;)
oops, of course, typing in a hurry !!!
