If I have an irrational phobia of a small town in Ohio, does that make me an xe5phobe?

1:34 am

you could be an acronaphobe

1:35 am

but we should cleve(land) enough alone

1:35 am

Akron is a pretty big city

1:36 am

(pretty ugly city too)

1:36 am

thx diz

1:36 am

Actually, xenophobe is a real word...it's what people get called when they oppose illegal immigration...it's scary because people don't use it in everyday conversation

1:37 am

not quite that, specifically

1:38 am

I mean, that's not the def. - they do get called that, I agree

1:39 am

People could oppose illegal immigration for entirely rational reasons, thus canceling the "phobe" part altogether

1:39 am

I oppose it on legal grounds, heh

hubby just returned from site of robbery... scary

1:41 am

I'm in favor of *eventually* opening up free global migration - decades or centuries from now

1:41 am

yw andree, did you get them?

1:47 am

3:13 am

Very well. How is school this week?

3:13 am

sweet dreams Diem

Night Diem

So so long. I have been badgered all day. I am so tired

what about u?

3:15 am

I'm good

How is Stew?

3:17 am

He's sleeping - couldn't get his after-morning-walk sleep of 2 hours so he's slept all afternoon! Lazy slugs that they are

awww

3:20 am

its a dogs life!!!

That sounds like me on a day off

3:23 am

I am very happy, I got a new keyboard for my laptop today - Look this whole sentence with no spelling errors!

I wish that was me now

Are they expensive to replace?

3:26 am

$60 for the part and I got them to put it in - another $30

that is not too bad

3:27 am

No - it hasn't cost me anything else in 4 years

3:27 am

thats pretty good lynxxx

Touch wood. Laptops can be very expensive

3:29 am

This one cost me $1,600 all up - I am sure my next one would be only half of that. Like TVs they have fallen rapidly in price

nice

3:30 am

My boy is in the grid!

3:30 am

Hang on - that means Infernal should be in the PB

3:30 am

i have been looking at a mac and its pretty expensive

3:31 am

why a Mac?

Not a fan of Macs. If i had the money I would buy one for music and design programs

3:32 am

my kids all have macs and even the kids can do the most amazing stuff, has amazing programns and best for photos

3:32 am

all the schools use macs now

3:33 am

I learnt on Apples/Macs yonks ago but have no need for anything fancy and am more than happy with HPs etc

Macs do have amazing design programs

3:34 am

Apple is very smart/cunning with its marketing

3:34 am

And they charge like wounded bulls unfortunately

3:36 am

but most of the programns cost almost nothing or come with the computer, one of the benefits

I really want to put 'shit' into the grid

3:38 am

anyhow that thought is on hold as daughters boyfriend bought us one for the house, i haven't used it yet still tapping away on my laptop but when i get around to it it will be good practice to see if thats what i want

At least you get a test run Andree

3:43 am

Hey Andree - did you hear? we are going to be allowed to water 3 times a week rather than 2! But they still want us to maintain the 155 litre target.

Lynxx that has something to do with Gumby being a complete tool. I have no idea who to vote for this year

3:51 am

3 times is better than 2, but if you grow veg, not enough

No we need water to drink. The grey is good for veg. or bore

3:52 am

I don't think the grey is good for veges - ?

There is tank water too

Ok no you can't use it as you eat it

3:57 am

Going to dive into the grid for a bit

3:57 am

me, 67 left

me 173 left need to go do work :(

4:07 am

am done and ready for the rest of the da. So much for waking up hideoulsy early :(

hi peri

7:48 am

Morning Peri!

7:48 am

Hi Peri

7:49 am

I am surprised that this grid has 225 words. The top half seems limited.

7:50 am

Hi All. Hi Scrabs

7:50 am

hi Hego!

7:50 am

Hi Hego!

7:50 am

morning, hego

7:50 am

Hi Hego!

7:50 am

How's the skiing, snowshoeing, etc.

7:50 am

et?

7:51 am

Scrabs, I get exhausted just hearing about your activities. lol

7:51 am

It has come to an end, Hego. Well, actually, I could snowshoe. As for XC-skiing I am sure that the trail has soft, mushy snow--tough to ski on.

7:51 am

Hi kje

7:52 am

Hi kje

7:52 am

hi hego

7:52 am

What do you do in summer?

7:52 am

8:03 am

good morning everyone

8:03 am

Hi flosey!

8:03 am

peri, is the as8 a normal word?

8:03 am

hi flosey

8:03 am

Hi Flosey!

8:03 am

peri - sa8/65 - no dictionary result - sa+not bye+2/3 of brick structure dividing properties

8:04 am

btw the sa8 is pl of the sa7

8:04 am

Bizaare word. TY.

8:04 am

ty so much ursh, never would have found it

hi everyone again....I so far have found the grid pleasant but I do have 84 left...

8:05 am

Hi Flosey + Ursh

8:05 am

yes flosey, got it from an earlier clue

8:05 am

I looked that sa8 up...it is a city in Punjab

8:05 am

I was working on the X words--dictionary helped.

8:05 am

ty ursh

8:05 am

Hi Red

8:05 am

ooh, tyvm ursh, opened chat just in time to catch your great clue. Hi everyone..

hego, I love your flower.

8:06 am

and I like yours, Red

8:06 am

yes, hego, your flower is beautiful

8:06 am

hi aloy

8:06 am

and thanks ursh

8:06 am

Hi Aloy!

8:06 am

Hi Aloy. Back in Ohio or still in FL?

8:06 am

yours is too, red

Peri, you trounced me again in Scramble!

8:07 am

How come a city is not considered a proper noun? Still in FL, Scrabbs.

8:07 am

hi all. Sa7/8 is district administrative headquarters, connected by road and rail to Lahore, and a market for food grains and cotton. However, uncapitalised, it is also one of the best dairy breeds in India and Pakistan. It is tick-resistant, heat-tolerant and noted for its high resistance to parasites, both internal and external.

8:07 am

correction: the sa7 is the city in Punjab..the sa 8 is a plural

8:07 am

and good afternoon all

8:07 am

I was reading a garden catalog last night. They sell packages to set up a complete garden with blooms through each part of season. e.g. 6 x 12 ft garden. For shade, or for sun. I might buy one or two and have instant gardens.

8:07 am

soory, red. I keep getting trounced by Owl and sometimed Jacula

8:08 am

and hi there spritey

8:08 am

lol, tyvm sprite!

8:08 am

sounds nice, Scrabbs

8:08 am

hello there, spritey

8:08 am

TY Sprite + Annie

8:08 am

Hi Sprite!

8:08 am

I passed halfway. Time for a break.

8:08 am

I knew someone else would want to know too, Aloy! :)

8:09 am

wait a minute, aren't cities proper names? Oh, forgot, I am dealing with enable :)

8:09 am

Bye, Scrabs, good to see you.

8:09 am

8:09 am

8:09 am

8:15 am

I have that effect on people ;)

8:15 am

Oh, no Sprite. Not true.

8:16 am

was a joke!

8:16 am

lol sprite... no way..

8:16 am

your icon theme is very pretty, isn't it hego! Loved to see all the flowers.

8:16 am

I hope so.

8:17 am

Yes, Sprite, very nice. So good of you to do it.

8:17 am

ah, finally found a word to use the "ish" ending

8:17 am

am glad we made it into a recurring theme. It makes the chog so pretty!

8:17 am

yay Aloy! So that is a disappointing corner today?

8:17 am

Flowers are wonderful, aren't they?

8:18 am

miracles of nature

8:18 am

yes, for me it has been

8:18 am

They bring such beauty to the world.

8:18 am

so far only one short word that ends there and one that ends in the ending, so to say.

8:19 am

same here, sprite

8:19 am

me too

8:19 am

at least we are together in that, Aloy :)

8:21 am

Can't believe there's 225 words in here.

8:22 am

first halve seems easy enough to find. But now the other halve!

8:23 am

I've not even gotten that far. lol

8:23 am

only just!

8:25 am

if waif is such an oldfashioned word, can't we write it waiph then?

8:25 am

looks nice that way, sprite.. I'll vote for that idea!

8:26 am

good!

8:26 am

okay by me!

8:26 am

3 votes!

8:27 am

YAY!

8:33 am

Hello all been lurking, 59 to go and its getting rough lol

8:35 am

hi meliae.. have been hunting an elusive st6

8:35 am

8:35 am

Haz had a great clue for the as 8: the state of being cinders as I recall

8:36 am

I hasve one that's a plural, but I'll bet you have that.

8:36 am

I bet it is the one after the robbed word I have been looking for that one as well

8:36 am

wow cool clue, got it

8:36 am

Oooo ty Aloy.

8:36 am

found the st6 finally

8:37 am

No, I have 2 actually.

8:37 am

yes, that clue gave me the as8 too (-:

8:37 am

as8 - dead embers, vowel + loch **** monster

8:37 am

I have 3, Aloy, is that all?

8:37 am

it's spots on clothes.

8:37 am

hey flosey

8:37 am

8:37 am

YIKES!

8:37 am

oh ok, thanks Aloy, lolllll. Long from done then for me.

8:38 am

8:38 am

hi sprite, hego, aloy, mel

8:38 am

Hi again, Flo

8:38 am

Aloy, please stop counting NOW!

8:38 am

nope .. it is FIVE... I think I need another cuppa, sorry

8:38 am

8:38 am

according to that clue looks like Cinderella fits the des cription, lol

8:39 am

lol Aloy

8:39 am

hi flosey! so busy counting, didn't see your arrival

8:39 am

was your st 6 the one after the word having to do with robbed items Aloy?

8:40 am

have been in and out Aloy - took a tylenol3 and getting drowsy

8:40 am

yes it was, meliae... took me forever and all I had to do was change a ding dong vowel

8:40 am

aren't you feeling well, flosey?

8:40 am

ooh, sorry flosey.. toothache or migraine?

8:41 am

yay thank you that was an onery one for sure!

8:41 am

no Aloy, arthritis

8:42 am

don't take them very often but quite effective when needed

8:42 am

ouch.. do topical ointments help?

8:42 am

Ah yes Flosey, a literal pain.

8:43 am

guess that is a no then, flosey :( Sorry to hear it. Hope it will lessen fast.

8:43 am

do you have the st 5 right before taking something that did not belong to you anyone? making me nuts

8:44 am

the spots on clothes?

8:44 am

yes, sometimes Aloy, I find extra strength Lakota to be very good

8:44 am

nm got it

8:44 am

oh now... the beer that is old

8:45 am

The trick in babble is to try anything pronounceable.

8:45 am

got them all, thanks Aloy

8:46 am

or even remotely resembling a word in any language, Drlemon

8:46 am

sorry you have to deal with it, flosey.. does warmer weather help?

8:46 am

and some unpronounceable!

8:46 am

yw sprite

8:46 am

yep, sprite. thats right.

8:47 am

i learned a new word! it's pone.

8:48 am

hush, can't type the words in the chig.

8:48 am

uh, chog even

8:49 am

hi Driemon, nice to meet you.. yes, like hego said.. any word in the grid is not allowed in the chog

8:49 am

or else.. you go straight to the infamous PB

8:49 am

a bit more involved, actually Aloy, have a disk in lower back that is a bit out of line

8:49 am

it is because it will spoil the fun of others who still have to find it

8:50 am

chiropractician any good, flosey?

8:50 am

oh no flosey.. double ouch!

8:50 am

ok.

8:50 am

Flosey, I have the same problem.

8:50 am

seto

8:50 am

ah Hego, sorry to hear

8:51 am

sorry you share that problem, hego

8:51 am

how painful, hego

8:51 am

pffft here is a clue for you la 6/30 how a hispanic might say "the vino"

8:52 am

lol mel. Lots of snow dropping down the mountain?

8:52 am

but Driemon, you are allowed to say, "I learned a new word, po4", or "po**)

8:52 am

Ok.

8:53 am

hi all

8:53 am

hi Boobear

8:53 am

hi Boobear

8:53 am

thanks for the la clue mel

8:53 am

hiyas boo, ok sprite not enough coffee you lost me lol

8:53 am

the meaning of your word

8:54 am

oh lol

8:54 am

I didnt look it up yet

8:55 am

I do that when I am finished look up the meanings of new words

8:55 am

I didn't either, it is the meaning of that word in dutch.

8:56 am

A lot of these words sound like they're in Dutch to me. lol

8:56 am

lollllll It means avalanche, if the meaning is the same.

8:57 am

quick search tells me that la6 is German, not English, and means avalanche

8:57 am

hello. :)

8:57 am

The meaning of po4, which everyone probably has now thanks to me, is a kind of bread made of cornmeal. I learned something today!

8:57 am

looked it up and yes, it is the same word. It looks so dutch because it is derived from the German.

8:58 am

thanks Drlemon! One of the fun things of Babble for me is there are always new words to discover.

8:58 am

i grew up eating corn po4

8:58 am

very common in south USA Drlemon

8:58 am

hi seain *hug*

8:58 am

hi Seain

8:58 am

8:59 am

yay, Driemon! enjoyed meeting you.. I am off, Babblers, to conquer other things today.. Happy Babbling to all, see you next grid.. hugs to Terra, Sprite.. (-:

8:59 am

things have been rather bumpy of la4, seain, so I cannot honestly say yes to that, but I should be on the mend now and other things are going better as well. How are you doing?

8:59 am

9:00 am

Bye Hego have a wonderful day

9:05 am

9:05 am

bye for now hego

9:05 am

Drlemon, if you are still here, there is another word that might be new to you (it was for me the first time I say it, anyway). iw4. It means for sure, certain, and it is old english.

9:05 am

bye hego, have a good time

9:06 am

hasta, hego

9:06 am

going to lie down, bbl

9:07 am

hope you will sleep flosey

9:07 am

ty sprite

9:07 am

hope you feel better soon, flosey

9:08 am

are speech-delayed children often slightly developmentally delayed?

9:08 am

as8: the state of being in cinders (clue from haz)

9:09 am

not necessarily, seain. Why?

ne 6/30 - a unit of force measurement named after Sir Isaac

9:09 am

younger nephew seems in some ways immature for 4 is all.

9:10 am

but that is partially influence of his much older brother, i think.

9:10 am

does he hear more than one language often, seain?

9:10 am

I was speech delayed and it was not true for me I just didnt have anything to say

9:10 am

older brother speaks to him in nonsense

9:11 am

some Danish

9:11 am

speech delayed as in does not talk, or specch delayed in enunciation etc

9:11 am

some Spanish, and some Chinese

9:11 am

some children think more than they talk, some are more oriented on seeing and feeling than on hearing. Many things are possible.

9:11 am

enunciation and word formation.

9:11 am

he had a vocabulary of non-verbal noises he used before the year with the speech pathologist

9:12 am

another problem is not correcting miss pronciations and letting the child continue on talking 'baby talk"

9:12 am

ok, children that grow up in a multilingual environment are usually later with talking. But they build up several language systems in that time, so in the end it is a plus. Also, they will make up the time later.

9:12 am

yes, that would be older brother influence

9:12 am

morning - dc has he had a hearing test?

9:13 am

hey hootowl!

9:13 am

yes, hearing is fine

9:13 am

6 to go I am going to have to beg for clues I think

9:13 am

9:14 am

hootowl, I told my daughter you would be willing to advise us on setting up a good aquarium and she is so happy!

9:14 am

Ok then big brother is problem. Woulf didn't talk either until 3-4 because we enabled him basically. We'd ask qustions and he's shake his head, ye or no.

9:14 am

bye seain *hugs*

9:15 am

A visit with his cousins - all a little older - cured that fast! They wouldn't allow no answers

9:15 am

brilliant, hootowl. No incentive in talking - no talking :)

9:16 am

I'll help as much as possib;e sprite. Send me e-mail and info on tank size and what kind if fish you'd like and we'll go from there

9:17 am

They also toilet trained him but don't tell him I told you that!

9:17 am

it won't be immediately, hootowl, as we still have to save money for it, but we will send you an e-mail when we start.

9:17 am

oh lollll wtg on the cousins!

9:19 am

my girl couldn't stay dry nights for a long time. Then one night we had forgotten to buy new diapers and no shops open anymore. I decided to give her a couple of my tena lady's to make do. Told her they weren't as good as her diapers. She looked at them, then at me, and said: " I can do without." And she could.

9:19 am

Yeah - big help. But they did a number on the youngest. My sister had 5 kids and there was a gap between 4 and 5 of about 10 years. The things they taught her!!!!

9:19 am

9:23 am

I think there is no babbler that doesn't share that, merk

9:23 am

fig cookie?

9:23 am

it's used for measuring so also generic and legal

9:24 am

but enable wouln't care anyway

9:24 am

fig ne**** Sprite

9:24 am

you don't have fig ne6 there sprite?

9:25 am

measurement unit of force

9:25 am

too bad - good stuff

9:25 am

darn... we are missing out on much here

9:26 am

that is the one, geek

there is another science unit in here te 5/10 - named after man who invented AC current

Nikolai Te***

9:26 am

I'm glad hooty likes them b/c I never have and always thought I was missing out on something.

9:27 am

hey I didn't know that, thanks geek. I was thinking plural dingleberries, but that would be crazy of course... that would be a female ending, lol.

9:27 am

oh it probably evens out. We have stuff and you have stuff. And I haven't had one in a while so they may not be as good as I remember them anymore

9:28 am

welll... we have stroopwaffles... pea soup... chocolate and cookies... the netherlands aren't bad either.

9:28 am

Don't be silly Merk. Everyone has different preferences. I don't like Oreos!

9:28 am

pea soup cookies???

9:29 am

And tx geek

9:29 am

lol everybody here always talked about oreos and I was really feeling like I was missing out on those. Now the shops have them here as well and I don't like them much either.

9:29 am

lol that would be something new, pea soup cookies

9:29 am

they are too sweet for me

9:29 am

Oreos that is

9:30 am

afk a sec brb

9:31 am

9:31 am

Well I am one of the few who doesn't care for chocolate in any form but they always tasted phoney to me anyway.

9:31 am

Well you listed pea soup with what I assume are cookies???

9:31 am

you must have a perfect figure, hootowl

9:32 am

Only if you love dumpy

9:33 am

9:33 am

10:10 am

Une, I am always looking for a nice red when I visit my daughter and family. Know nothing about wine. Can you or ruru tell me the name of the wine and the price that you paid?

10:10 am

10:10 am

You already entered the name, thanks. price please?

10:10 am

10:57 am

10:57 am

lol,bad brookie...

10:58 am

yeah, i feel really terrible. note sarcasm.

11:00 am

I just click on another program

11:00 am

I get away with it because i am the boss lady

11:00 am

alt+tab is your friend

11:00 am

hi dc

11:00 am

hi dc!

11:01 am

hi, jmc, brookie, scienec, crossey et al.

11:01 am

what is the theme for icons today?

11:01 am

ooh vodka!

11:01 am

howdy dc

11:02 am

gimmie

11:02 am

the only anime i like is howls moving castles

11:02 am

I have more Jack than Vodka

11:02 am

howdy ata

11:02 am

the boy likes vodka though

11:02 am

we hove some vodkas, much much, much more bourbon

11:02 am

hi, ata

11:02 am

hi ata

11:02 am

does anyone know how to move windows around in the bottom bar in windows xp? so I could move my word tab next to my excel tab instead of my adobe window etc

11:02 am

hi ata!

11:03 am

so is it true when you put in new RAM you should take out the old RAM?

11:03 am

which release of windows, ata?

11:03 am

you left click on the tab and drag it over ata

11:03 am

it gives less headaches if you have matched ram jmc

11:04 am

yes, what jmc said mostly

11:04 am

bbl, nephew is demanding

11:04 am

okay that is pretty much what i was told

11:04 am

i just spent bucks on upgrading RAM at the center

11:04 am

how old a newphew?

11:04 am

buy 2 sticks of 1 gig matched ram and your done

11:04 am

*nephew

11:05 am

noooo that doesn't work for me :(

This grid reminds me of a favorite pun courtesy of Alexander Woollcott, who uponn sailing past a group of Northern islands, remarked "At least I still have my Aleutians."

11:05 am

i bought i stick of 2 gig

11:05 am

that works also

11:06 am

while your in there and you are grounded,clean out the dust bunnies behind the cpu fan and heat sink

11:06 am

oh i misunderstood ata -- you have to open them in order to get what you want

11:06 am

yes they had me spring for a can of air

Oh well, I guess Woollcott rates a big yawn.

11:07 am

i also bought a static wrist thing because this office is full of static electricity

11:07 am

i find a toothpick in combination with a small shop vac works well also

11:07 am

urf. I always assumed there would be some clever way of doing it! Obviously not ...

11:07 am

yes,watch the static

11:07 am

hello everybody. I just saw a powerful French movie about the deportation of the Jews in the war called "Le Rafle". Jean Reno produced and was in it. I wonder if it's released in the US, as I never heard of it before.

11:08 am

11:17 am

howdy mp

11:17 am

Hi MP

11:17 am

I love butterfly bushes. I didn't know burning them made new ones

11:17 am

jmc, I was forewoman on a jury many yrs ago -- insurance fraud -- I was horrified at what was supposedly a "jury of one's peers"

11:18 am

why do you get excused DR?

11:18 am

don't try that at home, kids

11:18 am

neither did we!

11:18 am

hey, mpittore

11:18 am

I had to excise a couple but there are still around 11

11:18 am

11:18 am

hey, robbie

11:19 am

hi ruby...do you get your name from a deelish NY chinese rest?

11:19 am

Since I have had numerous surgery and have spinal cord damage, they excused me because I had lots of knowledge of IVs

11:19 am

in dc it is very hard to avoid jury service since we are so small

11:19 am

hi une!

11:19 am

he also burned the pampas grass (by accident , twice - lol) and it came back much improved after one dormant summer

11:19 am

Retired...Life is Good!

11:37 am

lol MP

11:37 am

17 years to go for me mp:(

11:39 am

oops dogs are barking...better let them outside

11:40 am

I thought it would never happen...worked til the day I gave birth...back 5 weeks later...and then at 55 the government got rid of our jobs...looked at the numbers....and poof...retired...I had always planned to work til 62 or 65...but I educated myself and kept moving up...good decisions enable me to do this.

11:41 am

very nice indeed mp:)

11:41 am

Also I forgot to give credit to a wonderful husband!

11:41 am

would you persuade my supervisor of the wonders of retirement? she's a pain in the posterior

11:41 am

though getting a govt job here is like doing a magic trick,they always gives slots to relatives after advertizing for 1 week in the isambull gazette lol

11:42 am

ROFL crossy

11:43 am

it has gotten a bit that way here also...it used to be so different in the 70's when I went from the electr company to the gov't.

11:43 am

or they have a minority slot to fill and it stays empty for 3 years till they get the good pr person to fill it

11:46 am

You are so right about that crossy...I had several "burps" in my career due to the same thing...gets quite discouraging sometimes...it's not always the "more you know the further you go" such a shame...we need to really concentrate on educating our children and then we won't need such special rules...I think education up through a formal degree or specialized skill would go along way to tune up our country...it should be free and mandatory!

11:47 am

mp,with all honesty i could get a govt job right now if i just cut one leg off

11:48 am

quite a price to pay...

11:48 am

indeed

11:48 am

Good afternoon everyone. Fun grid today?

11:48 am

seems ok to me so far, through most of the fourth row

11:49 am

LOL crossy...once I lost a position I applied for because they had to give it to a minority..I told them they better check their records because I am native american....but that is the ONLY minority that has to Prove their minority status...now how's that for prejudice!

11:49 am

hello Takuma

11:49 am

hello all

11:49 am

lol,mp.it is all too familliar

11:49 am

one year we had a wild spring onshore wind that rafted the ice up over 20 feet high and it took out the entire front row of cottages that we were managing:(

12:12 pm

sounds lovely.

12:14 pm

that was long ago,when our water levels were higher.we used to have between 80- 110 feet but i think 70 is the max these days.we expect to gain back a meter or 3 this year though;)

12:20 pm

12:21 pm

indeed flosey

12:21 pm

12:21 pm

12:22 pm

wwe now have a good population of wild turkeys thanks to a deal we make with kentucky.20 years ago we traded 100 of your white tailed deer for 100 of thier wild turkeys;)

12:22 pm

our

12:23 pm

the estimate on the hill is a population of 10,000 turkeys

12:23 pm

wow, quite a trade! I wish SSI would do something about the deer population here, some are looking quite mangy

12:23 pm

Good afternoon or morning or evening all

12:23 pm

we are up to our armpits in deer

12:23 pm

12:26 pm

long day

12:26 pm

I know, body clock is so out of kilter.

12:28 pm

back again, had to take a message for young chap next door

12:30 pm

Hi flosey jsut been looking at the 'whos on line' there are 14 of us plumbed in - any lurkers want to come out and say hello?

12:31 pm

*145 of us even

12:31 pm

that sounds better.

12:32 pm

yes FM, there are many players who don't chat at all

12:32 pm

was going to say 14 is a bad showing

Hi FM. Wasn't really lurking. Have just come in from a day's gardening and feeling very tired!

12:32 pm

guess they've never bothered so don't realize what they're missing?

12:32 pm

:) I know flosey, I didn't chat for at least a month when I first stated babbling.

12:33 pm

yes,there are many names i have seen in the lists that have never uttered a word as far as i know

I ache in places I didn't know I had.

12:33 pm

Afternoon Sally :) re the aching bits

12:33 pm

I did because of the friend who suggested that I try babble - Jillibus

12:34 pm

I think everyone knows jilli - and great lady

12:34 pm

oh so you can blame jilli then :)

It's so lovely to be able to be out though. I'm not the sort of gardener out there in the rain and bitter wind!

12:34 pm

wonderful lady and I love her icons and stories behind them expecially when related to her family.

12:35 pm

indeed, lol, incidentally, her computer is 'laid up' at the moment, she asked me to explain why she isn't in until it's up and running again - soon we're hoping

12:35 pm

oh thanks for that flosey, hope she will be back here soon.

12:36 pm

yes FM, she, and parents lived quite an interesting life

12:36 pm

and even going back another generation too

12:38 pm

she is also a very talented lady - writer, painter, and even carver

12:38 pm

I started doing our family tree a few years ago but had to stop. Am now in a position to pick it up again and travel north to delve into parish records.

12:38 pm

Hello for just a bit. Can't get up until cat gets off my lap, so I'm just Babbling until then! =)

12:39 pm

jilli is a very talented lay, I love that carving she did of the Great Dane head so evocotive.

12:39 pm

wonderful to have FM, my son is now tracing ours - took back to him what I had from both sides of our family

12:39 pm

Hello Vi!!!

12:39 pm

hello Vicuna

12:39 pm

You're a good person, Vic, but you may be there a while. lol

12:40 pm

lol, hego. Nah, she'll be off before too long. There's no pillow under her!

I have done a lot of my family tree, FM, it can be very addictive. Have had to put it aside just for now.

12:41 pm

My mother does genealogy, so I get to reap all the fun facts without doing any of the work!

12:41 pm

I managed to get bac to 1798 just from family docs but now the hard word starts.

12:41 pm

and a s usual my typing is going to pot :(

12:41 pm

my aunt did ours, going back, somewhat sketchily, to 1500s

12:42 pm

wow flosey that is a good time line

12:42 pm

i was able to trace back to the 1400,s seems our holding was sacked as it was at some important border or another lol

12:42 pm

wow crossy, that's great

12:43 pm

1400 even more wow

12:43 pm

Some branches of ours go back forever. But my mother, who has a PhD in history, found a number of false links, especially from genealogists in the Victorian era when it was fashionable to hitch onto royalty and all...

12:43 pm

other than 3 or exeptions,we were cutthroats and theives

12:43 pm

ours were in US at the earliest we know - some came from England but there's some french in there somewhere

12:44 pm

But we do have some legitimate royalty links, and once you hook onto them then the royal historians go back to the Dark Ages. (Of course, some of them were a little too eager, too...)

12:44 pm

I come from a good stock of blacksmiths and farmers

Really crossy? You are very lucky to have found records going back that far. On my father's side I am back to 1686, but a cousin did some of the early stuff. On my mother's side I have got back to 1777, all verified.

12:45 pm

More pride in that than the royalty, FM!

12:45 pm

lol we have royal links as well,my grandas granda was boinking good queen vic when she was but 18 or 19 and he was a member of british plarliment;0

Hello everyone

Farmers on my father's side, printers and one publican on my mother's!

12:45 pm

HAve a minature anvil that my great grandfather made as his aprentice piece.

12:46 pm

Hello, Horses.

12:46 pm

That's cool, FM.

12:46 pm

it would be interesting to know what they all did, I don't have that information, must ask my cousin if her mom had documents

12:46 pm

Hi Barb

Now that is really interesting FM. Real family history, not just dates.

12:47 pm

Yes, it's always more fun to know the stories.

12:47 pm

I sat down with my mum and ner mum and went through family photos and got so much info from that (Gran died so I was able to capture a lot of info).

12:47 pm

I have a painting (watercolours) of the home that was given to my great grandmother as a wedding present from her mother - with the history that surrounds the painting

12:47 pm

(Cat's gone, by the way, yet I'm still here...)

12:48 pm

he was 54 at the time,quite shocking really.the well to do,s started calling victoria Mrs melbourne lol

12:48 pm

Oh flosey how wonderful

12:48 pm

No better than they ought to be, any of them.

12:48 pm

That's lovely, flosey.

12:48 pm

good for you FM, unfortunately, I wasn't interested early enough to talk to my grandmother about it - she would have been a wealth of information

brb...trying to download a picture for my profile.

I have a bible box my grandfather gave my grandmother! Dated in the 1700s, so not of their own time.

12:49 pm

but I had always admired this painting as a kid, so my mother remembered that

I use it to keep candles in (not bibles).

12:50 pm

nice bible indeed sally,should get book doctor gwen to rebind it for you

12:50 pm

I am building up to going through the photos again as my mumis getting on and I want to capture more of the family stories and history as once she is gone ....

12:50 pm

but lovely to have these old and cherished items Sally

12:50 pm

That's really smart, FM.

No, crossy, a bible box, not a bible. They were used for keeping the large family bible in.

12:51 pm

I'd been keeping notes of a lot of my father-in-laws family stories, and I've lost the folder I kept them all in! Aaargh!

12:51 pm

oh,just the box;(

12:52 pm

Oh I have a family bible - huge one with brass clasps, any one esle have one?

12:52 pm

ah Vic, so sad to lose - perhaps they'll turn up again

FM, I asked my mother to write down who was on some of the family photos. Whem I went through her things I found an envelope marked Special Photos. Good old Mum, I thought. Then I looked a the first one. On the back she had written "Me"!

12:52 pm

my mom lost one box of pictures, etc. that went astray during a move

12:52 pm

I very much hope so, flosey. They've got to be SOMEWHERE in the house, surely.

12:53 pm

oh sally (())

12:53 pm

My grandmother's oldest sister inherited all the photos from that side of the family. She proceeded to say, "No one wants this old stuff" and threw them all away! *sob*

My bible box is a bit like this, crossy. Not a bad thing to have, I can assure you!: http://www.countryliving.com/cm/countr yliving/images/Sloped-bible-box-AWC010 6-de.jpg

12:54 pm

Hells bells Vi how sad!

12:54 pm

looking sally...

Oh terrible Vicuna

12:54 pm

Oh, neat, Sally!

Yes, it's lovely.

12:56 pm

ahh yes sally,ive seen these before,very nice indeed

12:56 pm

On the other side of the family, my grandfather's cousin saved *everything*, to the extent that when she died her house was just one solid packed mass of dusty stuff. Could there not, perhaps, be some sort of balance? lol

12:57 pm

Time for me to get on and do things which means I need to cook something and will be back in a bit :) Thanks for that great chat.

12:57 pm

Farewell, FM!

Bon appetit FM

yeah i did it

1:12 pm

Eeeeeva :D I could never run from you...common sense tells me you might be faster

vlcl one ends in a, one in l, one in s...did that help at all or too obvious

it took me a bit but then I realized you could go two ways with one word and add a letter

1:13 pm

apparently not too obvious for me!

1:14 pm

i got the 2 there

one is plural

1:14 pm

okay then come down through the middle

1:14 pm

okay take your x 5 word and add l..there that is very obvious now right?

1:16 pm

Must have been very sad.

4:18 pm

hi Smooth

congrats Hego! Sorry I am a bit late to the party.

I want OLATE to be a word. it would have something to do with dairy.

4:28 pm

evening everyone - I thought you wanted to ovulate red lol

4:28 pm

there is an ol5.10 but not that

4:28 pm

hi Katie

no no , I do that fine katie.

4:28 pm

hi lynxxx, how you doing?

4:30 pm

Good - just finishing up and waiting for husband and daughter to get out of house before i do my thing

4:30 pm

oh to have the house to yourself that is lovely

4:31 pm

How is work going Katie - are you in routine yet after all the change?

4:32 pm

it's hard at the moment with the end of the financial year and I've got to recruit in to a vacancy that is coming up, but I had my review today and my boss is really please which added to the fact that I love it makes it all worth while

4:33 pm

((((KATIE!!!)))) hello all!

Katie, are you finding that you are getting a lot of resumes with the job you are recruiting into?

4:33 pm

(((((stid))))))

4:33 pm

hi Stid

hi stiddy!

happy day stid

4:34 pm

hey mcurl! your team did really last week! you must have been so proud.

4:34 pm

and red! and lynxxx! and did I see hego down the line a ways?

well, no; out team didn't do so hot but the state champion team is from our district

4:34 pm

it's very specific and the closing date is not until Friday so i'm not sure yet. we got hundreds last time but the market is picking up and few will meet the criteria. I'm hoping I end up with a couple to choose from

4:35 pm

oh -- LOL I was looking at the wrong team? oh well, I still think just making it to state is pretty impressive.

4:35 pm

*very glad I am neither applying for jobs nor hiring at the moment*

4:35 pm

hi and good day

yes I think so as well. One of our girls will play at Western and another for the Cougs

4:36 pm

anyone have a hint for the as8?

The economic report on the news says that consumer spending is up. I am indeed finding myself spending....as everything is on sale.

4:36 pm

that's excellent! good fror them.

4:36 pm

the one who is leaving is the one who didn't get my job so whilst it will be a pain in the short term it will be best for both of us in the long run. He is changing careers and got a good job so all is well that ends well

now with my sports all over for the year, I can concentrate on the new grandbaby coming in Sept

4:37 pm

i find interviewing very stressful at the moment as everyone is so desperate and it means so much to people

4:37 pm

oooh! another person to make room for at the holidays! *big happy mama grin* good for you, and your children.

that is tough. I tend not to be on the hiring end. though on occasion we do peer interviews

it's this daughter's first and will make one for each of my three!

4:37 pm

yes, the pain of knowing how much people NEED jobs and the reality that we can't find jobs for everyone who applies.

very exciting mcurl!

4:38 pm

how exciting mcrulschool

4:38 pm

is she one of the local kids so you can help her out a little?

yes, they live in Federal Way

4:39 pm

as 8: having the quality of fire residue

4:39 pm

good. that makes it so much easier. I was glad my mother was local when my first was born.

4:39 pm

hello everyone :)

4:39 pm

ty nan

4:39 pm

hi nan tyx

4:39 pm

thanks nan *thinking*

4:40 pm

got it! :-D

4:40 pm

first time I have used that ending except for as a word, I really must be missing something

4:43 pm

half way, off for a break, see you all later

4:43 pm

I am down to 96...

4:43 pm

later Katie! (((hugs)))

fireworks! yeah! that was a long one. :)

4:44 pm

YAY smooth!!!

4:44 pm

congrats, sp

and Hi everyone who came in after I dove into the grid. :)

4:47 pm

how's today, smooth?

fine... got a tetnaus booster toda, and i can feel my shoulder starting to get a little sore... but otherwise ok.

4:48 pm

46 to go -- guess it is list time for me

4:48 pm

well, go pretend you're four years old and be a windmill so the toxin doesn't stay in one place, smooth! keep it moving and it will hurt less tomorrow.

4:48 pm

I am not a fan of tetanus boosters, myself.

eah, that's what the told me to do.... so I am flapping around wildly. lol

4:49 pm

BUT I would be less a fan of actual lockjaw!

HA! exactly ;)

4:49 pm

:-D LOL *picture of smooth being an albatross*

actually, I have a sink full of dishes that need attention, does the washing motion count was waving arms? lol

4:50 pm

I think it does... if you aren't wimpy. *looks at smooth* scrub like you mean it!!!!

4:50 pm

*ignoring own sink of dishes*

the stupid thing that I did was to have them give me the booster, and draw blood from the same arm...

4:51 pm

??? why is that stupid?

4:51 pm

et 6, please?

because the spot where they drew blood from bruised a little, and waving my tetnaus around makes the blood-draw site feel a little of. lol actually, I think i's just the bandaid pulling at my skin... maybe I should just take it off.

4:52 pm

don't have that yet nan *sits and waits for the clue*

4:53 pm

piece of choc. cake while you're waiting, stid?

4:53 pm

if it was more than a couple hours ago, you probably don't need the bandaid. Unless it's star wars or scooby doo, then you need it.

4:53 pm

thanks nan! don't mind if I do!

4:53 pm

lol -- unkind cut, stid

Hi babble pals!

ET6: Greek letter + *** Chaney (the older actor)

4:57 pm

4:57 pm

funny angle.

Yes he is a Pinto 1/4 horse cross with something else too we think

can i offer any clues before I go to start dinner and dishes?

4:58 pm

has a lovely face. *goes mushy over horses*

back before my fall when I was trying to learn how to stay on bare back..

4:58 pm

I haven't been on a horse in more than 20 years.

4:59 pm

I used to love bareback. much more comfortable than saddles, I thought.

my boys love treats, hugs and all the attention you can give...even iced tea and cranberry/raspberry pop

4:59 pm

not to clue stage yet smooth, but thanks.

ok, well, I'll try to stop in later and see if I can be of any help.

*poof*

4:59 pm

sa 7?

well if I had of had a saddle I wouldn't have fallen...was on my son's horse practicing when a deer spooked him...it was a nasty fall

5:00 pm

thanks smooth *waves good-bye (with the owie arm)*

why is your arm owie?

5:00 pm

I am sorry, Barb -- I have fallen, but luckily onto soft pastures and never hurt.

5:01 pm

sympathetic owies for smooth's tetanus shot today.

have to keep checking on my son in the tub...took a nasty fall at school hurt his leg have him soaking in a hot bath

5:01 pm

back for a few more words:)

hi cross

5:01 pm

CROSS!!! *tosses bacon in PB*

5:02 pm

poor kiddo -- how old? my younger son is not falling much at the moment, but when he was growing fast a couple years ago broke his arm twice in 9 months.

5:02 pm

cwossy has the flu..no bacon for poor cwossy...(last temp=101.7) :(

5:02 pm

please? -- sa 7?

5:03 pm

oh oh cross *sprays antiseptic in air* *grabs kleenex box, humidifier, blankies, teddy bears, TV remote and extra pillows* *fuss fuss*

my fall was out in the pasture but the ground was hard from the summer heat. July 2 2006...don't think I will ever forget that day...was black and blue from my ribs down to my right knee...even had a third but cheek which still have a small lump there

5:03 pm

and if you PROMISE to not refer to yourself as "cwossy" will bring you a hot lemonade

5:03 pm

aww i got me a mama now!:))))

5:04 pm

rofl... where is mrs cross? safely ensconced in the penthouse suite at the fanciest hotel until you feel better?

Jess is 11 and a very large boy indeed. Broke his wrist once from a fall...and we didn't know it was broke till the following day

5:04 pm

she is sick too,i just gave her some ice water and some lipton chicken soup

look after yourself cross

5:05 pm

nothing like chicken soup

and her too....sends a warm blanket too

5:05 pm

oh, I hope he feels better soon then. Our older son doesn't feel pain as quickly as other kids, so when he hurts, I worry extra. He's almost out on his own now... they grow up so fast!

5:06 pm

poor mrs. cross *offers favorite pink blankie and brand new fuzzy slippers I got two days ago*

5:06 pm

i have her wrapped up in a jumbo fuzzy couch bankie,and her housecoat

woo love fuzzy slippers

5:06 pm

it's rotten when everyone feels sick at the same time.

very nice of you to share those

5:06 pm

she says ty as she slurps her soup

5:07 pm

well.... I am feeling as if I "ought" to pick up a few of the books and papers from this quarter today. My goal is to have the table/shelf under the living room window clear before Tom gets home.

5:07 pm

5:13 pm

I'm very proud that I am down to 47 without the list, but am starting to think about the list. I can not believe it is 6 pm already the daylight savings has messed me up!

7:05 pm

np;)

7:07 pm

mmm- spinach,red onion & goat cheese omelet, my favorite meal when nothing in the house for dinner and no time to cook

7:07 pm

Fire Works

7:07 pm

YAY wht

7:07 pm

yay wht!

i want one.

7:08 pm

ty ty. I kept getting words just as I was ready to ask for clues.

7:08 pm

sure thing red... you are providing the pinot grigio?

7:09 pm

Dorens, you will have to drink that in the PB

again....

7:09 pm

i finally found that la word...

I can supply some Wi** but all I have in the house is a 3.00 red that I bought to make red Wi** biscuits.

7:10 pm

LOL! i keep going to the PB for the same thing, just different versions

7:10 pm

Dorens has found all the wi4 in the grid

7:11 pm

s"okay, i have some pouilly-fuissé in the fridge

7:11 pm

never heard of red wi** bisquits. They sound interesting

7:11 pm

hi all, a few minutes to search while daughter in the bath...hoping something will hit me

hi jessas

they are really tasty but not sold much outside apparently of Rhode Island.

7:12 pm

well jess, be careful of what you ask for.. if certain folks were here, something might hit you, but not what you would want

7:12 pm

lol

7:13 pm

i've heard of them but haven't tasted them,, sure i would like them though.. anything with wi**, particularly red wi** (but it doesn't go with omelets)

7:13 pm

still got 80 to go...was surprised I found that many at 1:00am last night (this morning?)

best with coffee...

7:14 pm

Certainly an easier grid than yesterday's

7:14 pm

i like coffee! sometimes more than wi**

7:14 pm

yup - this is zipping along very quickly

I like coffee more than wi**, since I cant remember the last time I had Wi**

7:14 pm

I am going to look for a recipe for those

7:15 pm

coffee in the morning. Wine in the evening. Life is good.

7:15 pm

Ooops. Dorens, pass that bottle over here as I join you in the PB.

7:15 pm

coffee at 5:00 though.. and wht to the pb, keeping me company

I found one on line, and have not tried it yet, I rather wi** I could jsut buy them.

7:16 pm

i had a fourth grade girl in my office today because she wh***s too much, and her friends told her to stop acting like a baby, so she did it more. she has a temper problem, too. it's funny though, cause i can't remember when i said the word wh*** as much as i did today

7:17 pm

pouilly fuissé is almost gone... chablis ne**?

4th grade can be a difficult time...

7:18 pm

Do you have, perhaps a shiraz?

7:18 pm

and my office is right around the corner from the fourth graders... three times a week i have to deal with the girls' issues after lunch. but i can't complain... if Christie cuts the budget enough, I won't have a job next year

7:19 pm

shiraz? not with a goat cheese omelet!

7:19 pm

You are right. Chablis it is.

7:19 pm

it makes it hard to keep doing your job the best you can every day when you don't know if you will ever get to do it again, doesn't it Dorens

7:19 pm

I forgot the entree

7:20 pm

yup.. i've had a pretty stressful week at work.. then no electricity from saturday till today. and ken in fl so he can't distract me with dazzling dinners and wine, as he usually does

7:20 pm

i like chablis better than chardonnay

thats awful dorens! and feel good that at least ken is not very warm

7:22 pm

may i please have a clue for the last st 6/18 .. so i can go and situate myself in my bedroom and be ready to wake up and leave my house at 6 :45 AM!!! cause we are selling green bagels for breakfast as a fund raiser

7:22 pm

So did you get flooded Dorens?

I would like to buy one Dorens....but you get no sympathy from me, I leave thehouse each day at 5 am...

7:22 pm

he's in sanibel, red... says it's just lovely there. no, not flooded wht.. i live on top of a hill... but lots of trees around and they took out a lot of electric lines

7:23 pm

when you said green bagels, I immediately thot they were mouldy!

7:23 pm

It is like the one before it but with a different vowel

well, I am trying to make you feel better, we have nt hit the 80's yet.

no elec is really frustrating

7:23 pm

red... i usually leave at 8... i go to sleep late, and with the time change and all, i barely woke up this morning by 7:15... now i have to be in school at that time tomorrow... i need much luck, a lot of that wi** and maybe some pills as well

7:23 pm

I live on a hill as well, Dorens. Helps when you get 7 inches of rain on a weekend.

7:24 pm

unless your house starts slipping wht

7:24 pm

indeed wht. and since Ken and I don't live together, I just moved into his palace and lived like a queen

the time change has been harder on me than usual...it is a killer!!!

7:25 pm

thanks for that clue wht... i had thought of that word but guess i never actually tried it

7:25 pm

good thing you don't live in California after all the fires take out trees that hold the houses on

clue for the first ou7 please?

7:26 pm

i am now done. going to clean up the kitchen (looks like a whirlwind hit it) and try to get to bed by 9!! see you tomorrow

7:26 pm

Our house isn't slipping anywhere. They had to blast a hole in the granite for the basement.

7:26 pm

nite Dorens.

7:26 pm

Night Dorens

7:26 pm

I don't have it yet red

wht you are lucky, we have a few home here that keep falling prey to sink holes...

7:26 pm

What the ***lier did

7:28 pm

not helping me yet wht

7:29 pm

all the ou words have the same root.

thanks wht...helped me a lot.

7:29 pm

The first ou7 is a compound word.

7:29 pm

now I have it!!!

7:29 pm

So it was a little cryptic.

P's pummled.

7:33 pm

evening all

hi pini

7:34 pm

7:41 pm

7:42 pm

All of the ou words build off the same root.

7:42 pm

anyone have a clue for the upper left hand corner h? please

7:42 pm

what about the LA 6 and 7 tho? I am blind to them

7:43 pm

No the la 6 and 7 do not build off the word before.

not hers, but... and a consonant

7:43 pm

The la6 is like a fermented grape juice from a California city.

7:43 pm

hi4 = not hers + single hump

7:43 pm

9:57 pm

evening all

9:57 pm

hi button

9:57 pm

it's not like he tries to push my buttons, i just go nuts about every stupid thing he does - and he's a pretty incompetent waiter so he does lots of stupic things

You know, a conductor told me yesterday that we should wear all black for an event I'm playing at. Then, he joked, "unless you'd rather wear your red sequins!" To which I replied, "Sorry, my red sequin dress got ripped in a skiing accident!" But, somehow, I don't think he believed me!

YAY jellen!!!

11:20 pm

Love your "Irish Setter", MP!

11:22 pm

Wonder what your vodka tastes like, jilli...

11:22 pm

ty jilli...here's the vodka bottles sitehttp://elitechoice.org/category/vo dka/page/2/

11:26 pm

jellen, probably like any other vodka!

11:26 pm

Probably so...

11:27 pm

jilli and jellen...but it's filtered through diamonds...and like Marilyn Monroe said "a girls best friends!"

11:28 pm

It just goes to show ya...some people will buy anything!

11:29 pm

Isn't that the truth!

11:29 pm

maybe those plutocrat bankers with their bonuses

11:29 pm

obscene bonuses, I should say

11:30 pm

I've been pricing costume jewelry for our store...funny what a brand name does to perceived value, too...

11:30 pm

did anyone else post vodka bottles?

11:30 pm

oh yes, jellen!

11:32 pm

I'm excited...we bought our first showcase for our store...an antique wood and glass number...

11:33 pm

We're going to another auction on the 20th, hope to land a couple more...

11:33 pm

sounds really lovely, jellen!

11:34 pm

It's funny what excites me these days, lol

11:34 pm

new enterprises tend to do that

11:35 pm

how was this grid? a quick look seems ok

11:35 pm

We spent the evening working on a business card design...

11:36 pm

We raced through this one with few difficulties, jilli

11:38 pm

absolutely jilli...that's the type that would do something like that...I would like to read that new book by Michael Lewis about the beginning of our economic downfall in 2005 thru 2007 and what really went on.

11:41 pm

jellen...i collect costume jewelry and I have a very large collection of Sarah Coventry...I wanted to write a book on SC jewelry but have not done so yet.

11:42 pm

I love the old signed pieces...Trifari, Coro, etc.

11:42 pm

I have just one piece of Sarah Coventry so far, MP...

11:43 pm

I would definitely be interested in your book, too!

11:43 pm

I have a couple of books on collectible jewelry, but little practical experience so far...

11:43 pm

My collection is almost obscene...mostly parures....love the gaudy pieces...lots of glitz and glamour...

11:44 pm

What are parures?

11:44 pm

nm, just looked it up...

11:46 pm

Jellen, that is such a beautiful icon!

11:46 pm

I picked up some nice pieces at an auction last weekend, mainly brooches...

11:46 pm

hello all. I am here to try to find 60 words in 16 minutes. *splash*

11:46 pm

Thanks, stid!

11:46 pm

That is when you have all the multiple pieces of a set i.e. the matching necklace, bracelet, broache, earrings, ring, etc. if you only have the necklace and earrings they call that a demi-parure

11:48 pm

LA 5 after the most recent please?

11:48 pm

NVM, it's rubber!

11:48 pm

I love the rhinestone brooches...I recently wore a necklace on a cruise that I pinned 5 rhinestone pins to and long rhinestone earrings....it was fun

11:48 pm

how about the LA 6/7 combo instead?

11:49 pm

parures would make a good icon theme -- would one of you please email it to sprite?
