Hi Lickety if you are there how are you all?

I heard that mrp was hurt... was that an error?
I'm sorry mi'Lady, I didn't mean to ignore...*bends low in humbleness*
No it isn't Volley. She broke her left lef and her right ankle
oh my goodness, how?
AWWW Pav you are such a darling. I was wondering if everyone had drifted off to sleep
almost, buried head in grid...
so sorry I was watching the movie Ice Castles for a minute
O my goodness I haven't seent hat in years. They are doing a remake of it :(
it is a remake
done in 2009
clue icon posted :)
really well done, and this time they used real skaters instead of actors playing skaters; made it better I think
back to mrp... is she in 2 casts then?
I think so sorry
Ice castles?.. omg boorrring
Ok that is good Volley. O shhhh RU you are a boy you don't get it :P
lol ru; new one isn't boring; skating is really good
lol herin
I would need some jack daniels and valium to see that movie again
or one of those eyes open contraptions from Clockwork Orange.
hi ruru!,,clean bill of health,,,I'll be abnormally normal with my heart tick
(and electro - shock therapy)..ugh
hey great pav..

fabulous pav
I go back in year, and hopefully I'll stay on longer than 7 mins...
But then again I am not a girly ROmance chick flick girl myself
I need to continue building my "heart muscle strength"
hi everyone, am late
(sees hering swooning at love story)
off to the corner late one, and with no pass no less!
you missed the most amazing, hilarious chat of all time, flosey
Love story seen it once. Not sure.
ah, what was it about?
Hi Flosey great picture of you and Jilli and Stid and Stidmere
hi herin
we swore secrecy among ourselves not to talk about it, sorry
I'll have to read back
damn! I missed it too...
hi flosey
we had DrGod delete it from the chat log
it was that awesome
it was great to see stid and her mom
hahaha, wil have to talk to jilli
was jill on earlier?
(uh sure grem.. what ever you say)
haven't seen her today
she wasn't on yesterday either, hope she's ok
will get hubby to call her tomorrow
Jill is having err PC or internet issues
I was also wondering if she was okay
pc issues?
oh my, again! she had it fixed once very recently
Stid said last night that she was having issues with either her pc or her internet. i honestly cant remember which
i had pc issues once, but now I've learnt to call them by their proper name.
is lickety up? or has anyone posted a list?
lickety said his was up, if not, I have them in my profile
(shakes head... I will never be PC)
Dachef have yuo seen the Twatlight V Buffy clip?

fireworks

Yah Volley
wtg Dee

ty
Grem, have you posted a list?
yeah
Dachef would you like a link?

good night Dee, see you tomorrow
Night Volley
nite flosey herin grem pav all.....going.... poof
watched the clip - v.clever. Whoever produced that clip had better production values than the movie itself.
I havn't seen the movie
dont. I watched it purely out of professional interest. I lasted 30 mins.
Right
they put the movie out too quick in order to capitalise on the bok success. Sacrificed all the production in order to do so.
anyway, rant over now.
THat is ok Dachef
What do you do?
working in LA trying to get a large media project up and runing: books, games, and, yes, movie.
Cool
problee sounds cooler than it is.
hi everyone
hi Andree
Hi ANdree.

ty josh,

gd morning everybody, what a lovely grid!
am I alone or are there lurkers?
I'm lurking
hello mudd
I'm traveling today and will have to do the grid en route, so I'm trying to get a feel for it before I leave
the first 60 words were a pleasure!!!
where are you going?
The grid is good, but I have not gotten to 'lovely' yet ... hoping too
morning ... lurking too
I am in Kentucky, heading west to the Black Hills
mmmm, sounds wonderful!
hello teena
hi ruby, mudd
Have you a clue for the ad 8 please?
yes, ad8: sticking
ah, ty
ah, ty
I see why you like it ... hadn't seen the upper right corner yet.
unfortunately, I am not systematic and just jump all over the place
good morning all. trying to get a lot of the grid done prior to work, so far 137/86
hello red, you are too smart!!!!
ha, not hardly!
even so, I is very nice to see you!
I had 60 quick and easy ones, but the next 20 were harder and the rest will probably be impossible! lol
it*
I have updated my icon for an icon clue as well. I think my leprechaun was creeping people out anyway!
I tried again to change my icon, to Max this time, but still can't do it. Very annoying
DC seain is good at helping with that stuff.
I am embarrassed to keep asking. Ata did the first one for me and FM offered to help but I can't seem to get the hang of it
DC is the one to ask, or Pinikula has some instructions in her profile. Some people struggle with that aspect of babble. I am not a good teacher....I just sort of point and click.
I have a great photo file but can't seem to move them around
the easiest way is to drag the photo to the desktop and then upload it from there.
the instructions on my computer are all in French, which makes it even harder for me, e.g. desktop?
put the photo on your screen, and let it sit there instead of in a file. I have no idea what they call a desktop in french, escritoire?
hahah
I didn't know that word (shows how bad my French is) but it doesn't exist in my dopey instructions.....
I really dont speak French. but I just pull the icon from the file and drag it on to the computer screen and then let go. then the image is on the desktop.
ok, I will try that in a little while and hope to give everybody a big surprise -- big black dog with tongue hanging out!
Well, no matter, we like seeing you wantever the icon is.
thank you
Hi Everyone
Hello Lickety, how are you and the family?
hi lickety
Oh life is so great - a constant change

Oh I gotta run. See you all later for my last 77.
bye red

no, 118 :(((
Good morning all......any clues please for ha10?
its a bit like Greteling - from the fairytale
an in Hansels sister?
yes, you are nearly there
it sounds like it, but with an extra consonant
GOT IT Sarah!...thanx!
np
hey sarah.....
can u translate that ha10 clue into american?
anybody home?
ha10: what you should find on the end of your arm + what you do if you're in retail, but turn the double consonant into a single
I only get 7 letters from that m'luv
gerund form
Ohhhh I didn't realize it was a seven too. Yes, sorry, then turn it into an action!
ah, monkeys found the rest, ty NB!
(I always get overexcited when I get to give clues, you'll have to forgive me)
no, you did great, never would have found that!
me either, I got it from the gretel clue :)
weird word
I can't even guess what it might mean. We should all make it a target to use it today ;)
I looked it up, means giving a gift
now you can spend the day ha10
Just told Leo that I'm going out ha10. Target for the day: met ;)
lol
he might get the wrong idea!
I fail to see how anyone could get any kind of idea from that!
Unbelievably he knew what it meant. Ahhh, ex-grammar school kids.
well, I have that sort of distorted mind :-0
no way!
How many words today?
apparently it was in a poem he had to study for English lit at some point. Life is so strange sometimes.
that's the truth
223, Godthaab
Thanks.
Well, I'm off to...go out ha10, I suppose. But might just get food instead ;) see you later, Esprit!
bye dear, enjoy
good morning babble friends! oh, dear, did I miss nancy? LOVE that boy!
only just
feh
double feh
od ds
i have a very rare day off today! wahoo! gonna go out for brekky with some girlfriends, and then who knows?
how's your weather?
something new: rain! (ugh. I need an ark)
gray skies here and cold again
are you over your average rainfall?
peals the coating off my eyeballs as I walk through downtown
sorry, that wasn't very grammatical....
no
whoo! my sister's married name is in the grid today! wow!
is anyone watching the new "life" series on the discovery channel?
Yes, I eat that stuff up
I have seen 1 episode so far, but have others recorded
its really good, isn't it? there have only been 2, so you are okay
I saw the one with the stalk eyed fly and poison tree frog, cheetahs
the photography is miraculous
that was the first one. the next one is amphibians, and there are some FREAKY little critters in that family!
it's beyond fascinating
I had to buy the Planet Earth set, I couldn't get enough of watching it
those baby ducks leaping out of the tree get me every time....oh, and that poor, poor polar bear!!!
I know!
I have seen those bears in the wild up in northern manitoba
Good Morning Everyone - well I am all packed and waiting for the girls to show up - have some time to play - how is the grid this morning
it's a good one mom
seriously??? that must have been amazing! were you there to see them in particular, or were you just up there doing something else and some walked by or something?
morning mom!
ps Tri I never even knew a duck that nested in a tree
I was there to see them and the beluga whales. It wa summertime, so the bears were in a state of "walking hibernation"
neither did I!
I think I might get that in winter....
in walking hibernation they are kind of starving because their food source doesn't show up until the sea ice freezes
but they did happen to luck into a beluga whale carcass prob left by Inuit, so an unexpected feast
I try to tell the kids we can't get too upset when the cheetahs catch an ostrich, or the baby seals get it from a whale - they have to live too....but I always do root for the prey, secretly...
hello everyone
hi Annie
Hi Momneeds
yes Tri, I have seen those kills in Tanzania and it breaks your heart
morning annie!
wow, esprit, you sure have traveled a lot (((jealous!)))
Hi Trif!
I have but so much more I want to do, but losing a good job last year has hampered that
you should join this: http://www.travelerscenturyclub.org/
I know of that club
there is as aspect of it that makes me laugh though
I only heard of it when an eccentric old lady around here died, and her obit was just fascinating to read! she was SO proud of her membership in that club, though
even if they stop over in an airport to change planes they "count" that country as one they have been too
really? I thought you had to spend one night to have it count...oh well
My stats tiles dont go along with my grid - anyone else have that problem
even port stops on a cruise ship count . . . Oh, I have been to Spain (really, for 6 hours)?
oh dear mom! mine seems okay, but now will look more closely....
I can see stops on a cruise ship, maybe -- if you do get out, and at least experience something of the country. hey, it's better than never leaving the airport anyway
I suppose
I have a stamp in my passport from the Equator :-D
now that IS gorgeous!
pretty cool ;-]
OH MA GAHD ----SNOWING!!!!!!
oh yuk! I put my winter coat away and swore I would not take it out again but yesterday I really needed it
Just took my snow tires off this week - where are you Tri
massachusetts
Good morning Babble buddies!
hello scrabbler!
Im in NH heading to Vt today for girls ski weekend
Hi Scrabbler
I still have piles of snow in my yard & driveway.
Hi Scrabbs
ours all went bye bye this week
It snowed briefly here Tuesday afternoon.
it's the same every year. elating to see the season's first snow, suicidal by the last.
morning all
hello
help with S on bottom row pls
long lags is driving me nuts
fashion
and then it gets the gerund, peri
Here in the country, salt is not used on roads. They use tiny stones, dirt and cinders. So when the snow melts we see all this crud alongside the roads, onto our lawns. We have to rake it out.
of course, ty, Trif
Hi Peri
Hi Peri
thanks Tri
Aha, I didn't see the -ing yet. TY
scrabbler, when the snow finally melted off our front lawn during the rains of last week, the annual "poo museum" was revealed...diggity outdid himself this year!
me neither, Scrabbs
you are welcome!
Yes, Trif! Oh, that makes me mad, seeing dog turds all over. Deer poops are acceptable.
thanks Trif, that gave me 4 words
lol Tri
well, it is my dog, scrabbler, so I can't get too mad. Just get the scooper and set to work. I will add, my rhody's always benefit!
5 words
My two girls go in the woods so dont have to deal with surprises like that
left Annie?
he goes in the woods too. very all opportunity, my little one
There are 5 related words referring to fashion.
Momneeds, how I wish...I got 5 words from Trif's clue
whoop! i am nbt - just noticed!
nbt here too
thats great - I am no where close
what bums me out the most about spring is how much needs to be done outside....everywhere my eyes fall there is something to pick up, burn, trim, prune -- it never, ever ends. sigh
Yes, that is what I realize when I look out windows--branches, twigs, leaves...gardens to prep.
why isn't "trannies" found in the dictionary?
I have a great 13 year old that just did most of that - will cost me....
and I was a naughty, naughty lady this fall, and didn't put everything to bed as I should have....
amen, hawk, amen!
maybe they are too busy whooping it up in provincetown to sit quietly in the dictionary?
new word for me.
bbs
hello everybody. Although it's cold and gloomy today, I jusy bought a mauve lilac and three new lavenders. Spring is here!!! Or else
very nice ruby - good morning
I am chilled to the bone and wet!
Hi Ruby. I love lilacs.
hi ruby...scrabbs beat me to it..I also love lilacs
okay, I need to toddle off. take care, my dear friends, and I hope to see you soon!
bye Trif
we have many buddliea (started with one, but that's another story), but no lilacs. I hope it grows fast, though, because it's even shorter than I am!
There is an annual Lilac Festival in Rochester, NY every spring. I think it is in Highland Park--loaded with lilacs.
Bye Trif. Enjoy the day.
Hello Ladies

hey all.
hiya stidmama
how's you Takuma?
doing well, thanks. Sitting outside and it's beautiful here
how've you been?
good for you. A tad chilly yet to be outside here, but sunny, so I am content. I am well, had a great visit with Jill and Flo (Mother and I went north on Monday).
I was so busy on my "spring break" that I think I am returning to school next week to rest up! LOL
how's studying going for you?
heh, I know what you mean. our break was two weeks ago, and I'm just catching up on work this week
teaching's going fine, but my own work is going *very* slowly
that would be frustrating for me -- but teaching is hard work in and of itself.
hiya stid, hi takuma!
i need some hints
hey EvaN!
howdy eva!
not far enough to give hints I am afraid
It's about time for me to head off to class. Good luck everyone!

You look great!

no one picked up on my opening comment, mitch -- are your politicians thinking of emigrating? -- they would fit right in over here!
hungry, bbs
Oh sorry I missed that post cnan, frankly I wish they would!
we will take yours only if you take ours;)
oooo you guys should see what African politics is like - almost all government work goes to "family and friends"
but then what would they be replaced by, there are many good ones at lower levels it is just the middle to top layers that drive me nuts.
Yay found my missing d4.

you have to drop one L, kap
I dropped an l but no go
well that's only 7. you have to add the gerund
Oh I got it- wrong ha4
I was thinking of the other ha4 like when a pushy car dealer gives you the ha4se4.
ah... whereas i was attempting in my original clue to contrast with the impersonalness of online shopping.
still need first se5/14
ANd there isn't a Ha4ass, even though sometimes people's bosses can be that way

Hi TO - how's everything?
ty
i am just stopping in- got to get dinner
what
what's for dinner, TO?
i dont' know
We had a nice salad and a margherita pizza
something with eggs i think
we have some salmon croquettes left if you want some, TO
no meat, but ty
you're welcome
sorry don't eat salmon
we had a nice omelette last night - peppers, onions, mushrooms, and a slice of swiss
maybe french toast
I only eat it from Chicken of the Sea and made into croquettes
oh, yes, that sounds lovely!
ohh, I love French Toast
i didnt know they old salmon
i ate so much at dinner with nrk last night i should stick to salad
yes, it is in can the size of tuna and it is boneless
I'm not halfway through this puzzle and stuck
I have 160 down and 63 left but I am not going to finish. ANything in particular I can help you with Kris?
Thanks, Mom. I'm just at the point where I can't believe things. Like 4 more words that start with G
or 20 from the middle S
It just can't be true ;)
or 5 more Q words!
I agree. I have managed to clear the second column and the bottom row. I do have all the q words
I'd like to shake the grid.
ok, bb later
bye bye TO
Oh, you are good, Mom!
bye TO happy dinner
would you like clues for the Q words?
yes, please
I have the college lawn and plural, and the stop, stopper, & plurals, and the sick stomach
qu 4/8 and 5 are another word for four-runners (ATV)
and the latin for which
qu 5/18 is to quell
the 7 is the one who quells and the 8 is plural of the 7
I think the quell is my stop - sounds like end of a root vegetable, right?
I just found one that ends in a donkey
yes, Kris
qu 6/27 is french for 4
qu 6/33 is sick feeling in your stomach
ah - thanks - didn't have the French 4
qu 4/8 is the same as the first qu 4/ just change the vowel and plural
Have the sick stomack
er, stomach
qu 5/16 is to reach your allotment ... first 3 letters of the word before it and short british goodbye
and plural
oh- I hadn't found the allotment - only 1 more to go!
I have clued all of them
and the plural of the Latin finished them - thanks, Mom!
you are so welcome, Kris
anything el**?
never mind ... anything else
Awhile ago I asked for the se5/14 after the mailer ans before the shrub. If any1 answered, I apologise. It's my last word and I still can't get it. Help, please.
I had it in my mind that else was in the grid
Thanks, Mom - I think I'll take a break and watch some stupid TV. It was my last day at my old job and I'm wanting to veg out.
I am sorry Gramma, I don't have it but will help you look
good luck on your new job, Kris.
thanks, Mom!
bye for now Kris
I think I found the se5/14 -
ty, Mom.
mix up the vowels for a word that means to burn the edges of something
rhymes with the little white dog in the movies - Be***
Kris, that was it! ty
hi again - think I found 1 word before my 8 mo. grandson called for me! he's cutting his 6th tooth and fussing a bit
thanks Kris
ah - I've done something useful! yay. Off to stupid TV. Happy babbling!

guess his little mouth is pretty sore, I let him bite (where ther are no teeth) and seemed to ease him to sleep
bless his little heart.
Anything else?

hi all
hi jmc. welcome to the grid
my icon is a clue too
let me look
so it is :-)
yours is even a 9 (and 8 and 5!)
that is why I chose it. I hate the long ones
for some reason i can often get a 9 or 10 but struggle with 6 and 7
I wish they would just put "compound word" because I find them as soon as I shift my thinking
i just assume anything over 8 is a compound word
I should start doing that !
hello all. wow 223 words okay jumping in.
hi 66
hi 67
67, sorry! I don't read read well sometimes
we all mispronounce people's names from time to time :-)
np Bug I answer to alot of things.. lol
but I believe that names are important and I do my best to honour what people want to be called
that is thoughtful of you bugs
ty Bugsaw that is very thoughtful.
I guess it is one of my values. Can you tell we are doing examination of values in school today?
:-D
my value is speaking truth to power
that is a good one jmc!
it gets me in trouble though ;-)
howdy babble friends!
many of our values do
hi trif
Hi Trif Where have you been lately?
a photo of your bambino!
hiding. well, that and working on costumes, which never seem to end! one production finishes, another starts up....I love sewing so much!
If you are the designer of these costumes too you have HUGE talent
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
hi min
Hi Min. Welcome to the grid and thanks for all your support

hello min, dear one!
I designed the one secondo is modeling in my icon....
Hi Bugsaw! Just got here, but glad to support when I can. How are you doing on this fine babbling evening?
marching along but not at half way yet. Keep thinking I should go outside and dig in the garden before the sun goes down
too wet and cold to garden today here
can you work your soil already bugsaw?
Heyas kids ..
My mother was a costume designer for plays but I just did Halloween costumes. It was fun to be creative and cheap at the same time
hi torg

i wish i had a phantom arse
i wish my arse was a phantom
snap
Good evening, red.
^5
it seems a theme in babbleland
OMG jmc and welki, how funny was THAT!!!
one 9 is a plural but the other is a gerund
thanks
not so funny if you've ever seen my not-so-phantom-arse :)
oh crud, just realized I wont be finishing the grid...
but yeah, je and i do that sometimes :)
why not red? working tonight?
welki, you should read the flying spaghetti monster book - I think you would like it, given your icon...
that is a sacred text trif
gotta work in the morning jmc, gotta say, very very stressful.
found the gerund 9!!! (ata smug)))
sorry to hear that red -- i thought you liked this new place
i have no 9, or ten...
***touched by his noodly appendage***
I do like it, but lately it has been difficult...but in general I like most things.
ha! ata would have gotten it without a hint so :-P
omg the flm started a huge row in the chog in the wayback days.
i hope it is just because it is lots of work rather than personality issues
welki, good for you!!!
It wasn't the spaghetti monster so much as it was one person's arrogant intolerance ..
i have ta 9 may i have t clue for the other pls?
no way! how long ago was this?
well, they are combined...but it is getting better, if I see a few more mobile homes head north, I will be happier...
se9 compound - she sells se******* etc
she se5 se9 by the seashore
hmmm...arrogant intolerance... i only joined a little more than a year ago, so it wasn't me (surprise, surprise) ...
ah so you remember that tor? we didn't have them as often as now but there aere some doozies
so it is the snowbirds getting to you?
SO BUMMED I missed it!
welki that is you defined!
ty je. trif don't be, was not enjouable
It was a few years ago .. It cost us a bright young Babbler as I recall ..
I can't believe that! how could a fight over noodly appendages not be enjoyable?
short fun spats are fun
it is when someone takes them personally that i don't like them
it had to be better than this year's "puppygate"
hmm was that the one that got jacs canned?
*sigh* je re*** me like a book.
:-P
i mean i don't want to relive it, thtalk of the fsm caught my eye for that reason
hehehe, but you're the one who brought it up and enquiring minds want to know
okay then. primo and I very much enjoy the FSM, and he even has the silver car ornament and all....
gees the guy who is the ordained minister of the fsm religion doesn't take it that seriously
I brought it up.
well i don't see how fights are enjoyable. discussions are but not fights
i think it is a definition thing
anyway, i'd like a few clues plos?
The whole point of the fsm was to ridicule peoples' religious beliefs and mock them as stupid ..
hmmm. 69 left and gridlocked all to spaghetti monster hell. Do we have a list today?
to me a discussion and a fight is not that different
fe4.8 and 5/18 pls?
there is a list
I am pretty religious, but not ignorant, nor closed minded.
yes trif, but owl said it caused "a huge row..."
I am also pretty AND religious!
At least that's how it went down here ..
lol je
i am quite religious but don't care if others are not
lol trif
remind me never to get into a dicussion with you! :P
<-- simply doesn't give a rat's patootie
but there are those in the chog who get upset at the slightest discussion
I don't want a rat's patootie, so I am glad you are not giving them!
*check's purse for a rats patootie*
if you find one, it's a sure sign it's time to clean out your purse
hmm are we talking arses again? ;)
mind you, my cats left a mouse's patootie on the living room carpet this week, so if you want that, you can have it.
*cough cough sputter*
I am not religious, but I respect others right to believe what they want ..
Sok, jm, I was married to him once.
depends on demographics ... patootie in my neck of the woods is due north of arse *lol*
ROFL
at peach
*gives welki an anatomy book*
this discussion is getting to**+ily rediculous
please please as lovely as this convo is i would like helo to finihs
Hi everyone, just popping in a for a few moments before I edit some transcripts...
*loves the plastic pages that overlay one another*
hi brookie
Hi jmc!
hi brookie
check your rat's arses at the chog door please
hi TO!
need a break - totally blocked with 85 left. bbl
hb jmb
je who you sayin has a rat's arse?
no one i am just saying they should be checked at the chog door
no concealed rat's arses allowed in the chog
ok . clue me re6 and all is forgiven :P
tote up numbers again TO
:-P
Oh my, do we need a concealed Rats permit?
oops - phone brb
is a concealed rat's arse similar to a phantom arse?
sorry but the supreme court has not ruled that the second amendment protects the right to carry rat arses
sorry, meant en6 *hangs head in shame*
not in alberta .. no rats allowed here. rat-free province
shucks TO i don't have that one
I have 77 words left, and can not see a one of them!
en + whatever you say, my ****
in your dreams welki
your wit, your humour, your inner beauty ... you have en****ed yourself to me
Love brookie?
ty brookie!
really, je .. no lie
there are NOT 6 sh words after the conditon of being a protective covering for a se creature. nop[e. can't be
inner beauty is the only kind i gots
TY Brookie figured it out.
well with a phantom arse, you can also have outer beuty unless you grow a rat tail.
sh is nothing --- i am drowning in Qs
aw, welk *blushing* you WERE atlking about me, weren't you? ;)
yes, red, the **** could mean lots of things, couldn't it... probably a few not-so-nice words too!
the only good thing about having my laptop stolen is that i have a Q key now
here's the story of alberta's Rat Patrol (a favorite show): http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$departmen t/deptdocs.nsf/all/agdex3441
took me a few....
I have ten Q's.
well maybe that pointy thing you have there can give me a phantom arse
ok 11, I was missing the nausea one.
gees that is about the only one i have red
the pointy thing can give you a pain in the phantom arse.
seriously please tell me i am not missing 6 sh words. before i say one that is not in the grid
to stop rumors sometimes you must Qu*** them.
thanks red!
there are a total of 16 sh words TO
I would agree TO, have you tried the sh word that is like a sea creature covering or the last name of frankensteins author?
and watch your language! *shocked look*
ty red
Oh no, sorry, At least I did not drop an F bomb with the PB mic on.
ty red. i just found the memorial and the load adjectves
do you have the sharp piece of pottery?
he he he
TY I needed the memorial
se8?
how about how Tiny Tim sings with his uke sh7/40?
This grid is lots of fun, and so is the chog, but I must do some work now. Happy babbling everyone! (Poof!)
sharon se5 se8 by the seashore
oh no, out of my generation...
yep got both harsh sounding words

ty red
i wasn't planning on it TO
oh my type of day all round....
yumm crossy
hi crossy
howdy all:))
I am stopping at 163 words and 1995 points. I will be back later tonite to clue words I got so far if needed
i mean they must only cost about 500 bucks from charm city!
yikes you think that cheap?
cake?
and crossy is joining you in the pb!
meet up in baltimore home of charm city cakes
no i do not!
so he is katy
MMM cake
i think we will have to pass TO
someone suggested it. tongue in cheek
are you coming?
hi krista!
oh I think it might have been me, I had no idea of the cost.
hi krista
an effen fortune red
seriously i have no idea how much, and a babble cake would not be intricate, just a regualr cake with a grid. don't you wonder hwo those cakes taste? i mean so much work goes into the sculpting...
hey jmc...we can't afford a cake, but we can drive by and take silly tourist pix in front of the building
i will make us one!!!!!
i know how fondant tastes --blah
there is a thought krista
i haev a recipe i have =been wanting to try
go TO go
i need 6 words,never mind a cake
yeah, the prettier the cake, the worse it tastes usually..too much food coloring and fondant...sounds good Owl
I wonder TO, as some of the cakes are made of rice krispie treats....
I need 69 words, and no cake.
well we will need food coloring
the best cakes come from whole foods though!
anyone have ly6/24?
i mean the big crazy cakes, Owl
you know duncan heinz makes that tubular frosting that you could put the letters on with. Oooh, now I want to make a babble cake.
kirsta i agree!
not yet vl
hmm thinking that would be the place for fondant
hi all
if anyone is into decrating, i will bake it and preapre frosting
They did a Scrabble cake once...
fondant for the yellow pieces, you know what would be excellent is a green cake and then a raised cut out layer for all the letters.
hi nrkii
hi nrk!
Heya nerkster ..
sounds good, red
hi nrkii!
what do you think of a babble cake for our meetup?
I want to try to make it but have no skill!
Hi Nancy!
krista make the letters and bring them to put on the cake
nice, red! very nice!
as long as the letters are pure dark chocolate, I'm all for it
is someboday taking this all down?
they could be cupcakes, if someone has a square cupcake thingy
none of that fancy sugary stuff
don't look at me i am the only mother in the world who's childs class had to be forced to eat the cupcakes i made for his birthday
I'll get on that right away, lol..I do have little letter "cookie cutters" for fondant, but they're not in our "font"
hate dark chocolate, but I can tcome soooo.
BINGO! GENIUS!
really jmc???
really it was humiliating
chocolate they shall be!
krista....that is awesome!
square cupcakes...i like that
jmc, did you not follow a recipe?
krista will be incharge of lettering
i did but they were terrible
poor jmc
after that i let my husband do all the baking
jmc, I am so so sorry. Your son seems to have grown up well despite this!
*hangs head in shame*
I AM A FAILURE AS A MOTHER!
*sobs into keyboard*
I feel too stressed from work today, I can not seem to let go...
no no jmc, you are just a cupcake failure.
no. you are a failure at baking cupcakes. big difference. and maybe it was your oven.
sorry to hear it red... what does "in the box" mean?
*sniff*
ALWAYS blame your oven.
it was my oven!
yay!
I was in triage, adn thus endured the rage of all those who could not be seen in an appropriate amoutn of time.
:D
hee hee works for me
ah, got it
I sadly wanted to see them, I really did.
too bad red that is a rough gig
Ugh, I don't know how you do it Red
Triage is often in a small room, hence the term "Box" used all over the country.
It's really ok, but I worry a bit. I got yelled at by a variety of physicians, and patients and the charge nurse once today....
last sh5/14 pls ?
But the physician made me laugh. he calls to tell me he saw a guy in the office....he's worried about the guys airway and breathing...
sh+not beginning
and then instead of calling an ambulance, he sends the guy in the car with his wife....
yes?
Now we're down with the lingo. Next time I'm in the ER I will refer to the box and get seen in record time.
ty
LOL
Well, if it's anything like here, his wife got him there faster.
if youthink someone has a chance to stop breathing, best to call paramedics, not let the wife drive him over. you now.
ah i thought the kicker was going to be that the wife was the cause of the breathing problem for yelling at him
getting him there is not the issue, its if you think someone actually has an airway problem, then he should be with someone who can do something about it, like be at the physician office until the medics can take him...
evening all...
PINI!!
ok, done now, I am still spitting nails.
JMC! ;)
bic pen and a hammer
your icon is perfectomente!
* giggle *
thought it might be appreciated!
Pini! I LOVE your icon.
se6/24 pls? hi pini!
*puts on flak jacket*
Now tha ti have ranted a bit, I shall try to go to bed!
thank you all...
That is great, Pini!! How true.
I spent 4 hrs in the Urgent Care Clinic with my daughter today (my actual day off)...to find out she has gall stones and will need to go for surgery...
night red!
night red! :)
but i am dressed properly for you to spit more nails. . .
good night, red
I'm glad you all like it!
oh no pini!
Ooh Pini, I had that
pls? it's my last word
Sleep well, Red. Hope you can shake off the cares of the way. Not easy is it.
they made me wait a month before surgery, so the inflammation would subside
it was a long month
well, it seems the stones she has are rather small...
fireworks
ty all
yay owl!
...with the other little thing...
whoo hooo TO!
Congratulations 72 Temple Owl on fireworks! Hooray!
bye red
...doc said the little thing can grow and turn into cancer when she's much older, so better to resolve it all now by taking it out so there's no chance later
i have done nothign today. think it 's too late for dinner?
wtg TO!
sorry to hear that, Pini
hope all resolves well, pini
never too late for dinner unless it is breakfast
sounds like surgery is the right option then pini
I haven't eaten either...so hungry but dont feel like making the effort
my other dau had her's taken out, so apparently it's a "family" thing (so the younger dau thinks)
oh, she'll be fine...she's incredibly resilient
shoot... must run
night all!
How old is she?
bye nrkii
Night nrkii
...she's more upset about not getting to eat as much steak, bacon, or other foods with flavorful fat than losing the "golf ladder" (as my niece calls it)
she's 23
night nrkii ;)
goodnight nrk. and good night, all
night TO!
bye TO
Bye 72 Temple Owl! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

General Hospital is on this late at night?

vic, what kind of dog is that in your icon?
I was wondering the same
two second vent: mr. hate called to ream me out for entering this as my status on FB: "there is a RARE mix of people at the Brockton family court." He 'phoned to DEMAND that I remove any reference to our divorce from facebook, unless "the kids see it." what does he think, that they don't know?
I can list, I can list!
(back after my first blush)
that is Lily my 8 month old labradoodle
and he bases his right to demand on what?
Shirlockc did u get th HA 10?
Doesn't sound like it was specifically mentioning his divorce...
or labraterror as she is called around here
Vic, she is a cutie!
I have no idea. his last FB post was written by someone else, and it was in April of last year. Guess he keeps an eye on ME however!
...besides, I'm not sure he has the privilege or right to tell you what you can and can't write :)
Trif, mr hate is an idiot, ignore him.
cuteness is her saving grace!
okay. done. mr hate does not merit chog air time
well pfffttttt is what i say to mr. hate
What a Richard ..
lol, vic. i've had furballs that fell into that category
I've written things on my FB that are in reference to specific individuals; however, the only ones that know that they're aimed at them is them; otherwise they're "generic"
but we love them anyway
honest to god, a big part of me wants to tell everyone I know to go to his page and write "you are a DOUCHE."
Um, can you "unfriend" him, lol? Or is he finding this out in some sneaky way?
oooh good idea krista!
block him from your fb!
wait, can I block him ?
yes we do, vic. little stinkers know how to worm their way into our hearts
got to go, bye all
night vlcl
night, vic
i write almost nothing on my fb -- i talk wall to wall mostly
May I please have a clue for ha7-36? Thanks
bye vl
YES! Block the Richard.
oh, and those mine are directed at are blocked from my FB (but not from reading over some other mutual friend's shoulder - if they're that nosey)
Yes, he could have spies but I wouldn't make it easy for him.

my daughter (senior in h.s. and18) leaves for Mexico tomorrow morning at 5AM and I'm trying to get my worries out of my mind...but all I can think of is Natalie Halloway. AArrrggh. How is everyone there?
mexico is a lovely country
mine is an icon clue harpjane
forever Babbz?
Oh I know, but my daughter is a lovely girl and I'm just a little worried. No, she's just going for a vacation with her girlfriends...but her first real trip away from home.
nice bugs
where in mexico?
hi harp
send her off with visions of angels right behind her and ask that they protect her. My kids have always come home
did i miss the ha10?
Riviera Maya - south of Cancun about an hour.
she will have a lovely time there -- it is beautiful this time of year
tell her to wear sunscreen
shirloc it is a misspelling of gretl's partner in the fairy tale + gerund ending
Thanks, Bugsaw - our news has been inundating us about not traveling to Mexico...but they've had this planned for 8 months now.
thx bugsaw
And she def needs to wear sunscreen. She burns out in the sun for longer than 15 minutes!!
ge6?
I hope they have fun and stay away from any weird happenings too babbz
the sun is very strong in mexico this time of year
are you male or female harpjane
yeah - she's under strict orders not to leave the resort and not to go anywhere alone.
sex or ge6
male and female is ge6
resorts should be safe!
thanks
if she stays at the resort she will be fine!
sa 5/16?
one would hope so, but there have been a lot of kidnappings and worse in Acapulco and the border towns
The sa5/16 word is plural of the sa4/7 word jmcnrick
border towns are always a bit rough
I'm sure she'll be fine...but she actually climbed in bed with me this morning, and she hasn't done that since she's been a little kid, so just have the jitters. It'll be okay and she'll have a blast.
ack what a fish! ty mn
ty Min
going away for the first time is jittery
that is a good thing so she won't take risks
ad8?
this band aid is not ad8 properly
ad8 is sticking
i remember her age going to Florida for spring break with my h.s. girlfriends and we got snowed in at O'Hare airport...first time flying.
thx, i thought i tried that ad already
That ad 8/60 word means sticking Shirlockc.
For about 24 hours it was surreal - a zillion people all stuck there.

I would like to sh5/12 a story of clues with my de4/5 Babble friends. It ir 4/4 me when I start a big puzzle too late. My face turned as5/12 when I saw the grid size. I thought what the he 4/6, it's so big! It made me want to he 4/5. I thought do 4/5 this puzzle look friendly?I thought to myself do I da 4/5 try this one? But I da 4/5ed right in. I was able to da 4/6 through the first half of the grid with ea4/4.It was pretty ea 4/6 to do. But I have to confe4/7,I re4/5 chog clues and used the list to get the next 60 words. But then I had to surre6/21 after getting 60 words. Monkeys started feeling qu 6/33 and were ri 4/4d up and quit on me. Babblers are always so nice to le 4/5 a ha 4/6 w/clues. Some words are od 5/14 than others which is when the clues are so helpful. And now my story of clues en4/5.I'm going to get out of my se4/4 briefly, but I will li 6/24 here off and on to help out with clues

go Duke!
Hi Sceabbs. How are the bunnies? And I do hope you've not captured and traumatised another wild mouse.
hi pip
sounds like a swarm of mosquitoes here -first day Grand Prix racing just started
hey pippin -- so you really really quit?
hi pip
I would typically root for Duke but my father is a Purdue alum.
quit what???
i did, i gave my notice today. very satisfying
*Scrabbs, I meant.
in that case, go purdue!
hi jac
the one that gets me is BUTLER....
good for you pippin. now what about a job in nyc?
Jacula, every trip down to my basement includes looking around for a mouse to rescue.
which means late april i'm heading up brooklyn way
Hello jmc.
while i'm there will look for apartments and jobs
Scrabbs - if you want a pet mouse, go to a pet ahop for a domesticated pet mouse. Wild mice will not respond well and you''ll get upset.

My lawyer sister lost her job a week ago...so stressful!!!
athens georgia? or greece? or... ?? is there another athens?
oh no scrabs!! ((hugs cousin by proxy))
Scrabbs - just being caught and handled is enough to lead a wild mouse to die of stress. (3 days max)
athens georgia - where i used to live

that might be a nice trip, pippin
oh scrabbs, that is terrible!

As for being caged and fed... no go area for a wild mouse.
french for four, actually. thahnks babz
Buffalo + NY state are in dire financial/economic states.
Thanks babbs.
the city doesn't look too dire though
Ok, Jacula, I will leave the mice alone.
ywc
florida is pretty deplorable economically right now too
is the re7 to do something agin?
This is a great metropolis but NY state finances are bad--high taxes, etc

Scrabbs - THANK YOU! I do know mice and I knew how your story was going to end, but sat on my hands.

Bye all - better go do stuff
Things are bad economically everywhere - even in Wyoming where my son lives (which was supposed to be unscathed by the bad economy) the police department told all police officers they will need to work 2 weeks without pay...that's 80 hours @ $20+ an hour...it adds up.
later lynxxx
Bye Lynxxx. TY for clues.
bye lynxx thanks for all the help
Scrabbs - I know, but even a baby mouse is still a wild mouse. Mice are fleeting but nice pets to keep, but if you want a year+ rather than a few days, then get a mouse from a reputable pet shop.
bye lynxx thanks for clues
thx lynxxx
thanks
how many pini?

I don't really want a pet mouse, but my intent was to rescue an animal.
still can't find stid

go pini go!
gotta take koda out tho...
plus pet shop mice won't have Hanta virus
it's a gerund marc
Having said that, we did have a champion moue that made a few years. (That was the one I put into my cleavage, with bubble wrap and foil around him to try to make him live.
down to 71 here and feeling rotten (bad mama evening) I think I may just wander away
ewwwe jacula!!
i can't imagine living with a mouse in my cleavage
Silly Jacula!
LOL Jac you are a true animal lover!
rofl Jac! that would be the 3500 DDD cups?
i'm right behind you stidmama - have five left but i hate those re- words
got it thanks
*innocent mama look* that's how the conversion goes, right?
go babbz go
I would never put a mouse in my cleavage no matter how much I wanted it to live
Scrabbs - leave the mice in our basement alone. If you find an injured mouse outside, either place it into a safe place from predators (under an outbuilding or something) or, if its injuries are too severe, let the predator finish it off quickly, or do it yourself.
stid, a mama that plays rock band with her kids is not a bad mama
Uh, oh, Duke is now ahead by 9.
a mama that scolds the kid for being overly OCD-sensitive and throwing fits (blaming the dog for his failure to match pitch in singing) is perhaps not a good mama though
38D (UK size) and George (named after Mr. Clooney) wa s no problem top pop in there to try to warm up.
good night all, it was a good try! Wish me luck with my daughters send-off!
anyway, it really killed the mood of the evening.
re7-32 please.....thanks
bye babbz

Bye Babbz
sweet dreams babbz (((hugs))) may your child's journey be pleasant!
no, even OCD people need reality checks sometimes. We all have to learn to own our own behaviour without blaming. The poor dog may not have helped but is was for fun, so not to worry
sounds like a good mama to me stiddie

Thanks much, Jacula. Fireworks. See y'all at the flip.

Yippee gapeach!
whoo hooo peach
My daughter had her 23rd birthday yesterday. She's probably still drinking to it now (3.37am UK time).
I just wish mama-ing were easier on the heart. I feel sad when I can't smooth the whole world for my kids; when I lack the skills to help them learn the things that will let them be happy, productive adults someday.
wow Jac! and you only 30!
but maybe some things have to be learned in person, not second-hand.
stid, read John O
Alright, I am done with 122 left. See you tomorrow!
happy birthday jac's dau
done thanks for the help....
stid - you're hoping for the impossible.
off to my cold medicine world
sweet dreams scrabs. (((many hugs))) may the day be bright and happy for you.
YAY harpjane!!!!!
Thanks jmc.
John O? who is he?
john O'Donohue I mean. He has the best line about how to forgive ourselves for the times when we parent badly. I will find it for you for when we meet
mammaing hurts because if it didn't we would be really bad at it
thanks Bugs.
'Night Scrabbs. Hope I haven't nagged you out of the chog.
then I must be really good at it today, jmc.
what i said to my boy is "you are going to complain to your shrink about me for something. it might as well be this."
yes, what jmc said
anyway. I was a GOOD teacher today -- helped in my friend's class and the kids I worked with all made progress
I like that, jmc!
there you go stiddie!
and we will never know what our kids take away from all our good intentions until many years down the road. Today will probably not even register with him
and tomorrow it's the science fair, and the boys' concert on Sunday, and then back to routine (I like routine, though not the heavy reading load) on Tuesday.
pini!!!
*grin* selective amnesia for only the good times, maybe? LOL
pini's walking her dog
Definition of parenting badly - my Other Half's ex, when she ran away for 10 days after her daughter told he she'd been sexually abused by her Mum's parner. She decided that the 10 days away had made her realise she loved him more than she'd previously thought. Hence, her daugher is living with us now,.
true Jac -- I am nowhere close to that leve.
see stiddie you are better than that!
or that level even
i found that some of the things that i thought were particularly loving and wonderful my boy did not see the same way
or, when I went to apologize to me oldest for the worst thing I ever did to him growing up. He thot it was when I dyed all his underpants pink in the laundry
*gasp* really bugs? I am set for life! that happens REGULARLY!
parents and kids have different views, that is for sure.
stid - I wasn't trying to be competetive. I'm just still so p*ssed off at what someoe who should never have been allowed to breed did.
when my hubby was in hospital with brain surgery i made a point of having boy live in apartment with me and arranging a fun thing every day and he told me years later he felt neglected by being sent to a new thing everyday!
Pink pants is funny, and if that's the worst thig you ever did, you're doing well.
He had no remembrance of the most horrible thing I could ever have said to him and did one day. I carried the guilt of that for years. but the pink underwear that I figured no one should be seeing? ....
i was killing myself to work out a good time for him!
I am somewhat handicapped by not remembering most of my childhood. I envy my friends who have clear memories of growing up; all I have are a few vignettes and the occasional random image that pops up.
back

you should try having your kid for an employee!
hi all -- just here to change my icon, then off to watch the curling
hi cyber
no thanks, jmc! I would like to have the potential for sanity!
hey nan! great hat!
Thank God the musical Hair is back on Broadway again. Maybe we can all chill out again whilst prtesting against the altest war.

I've had my kids work for me periodically...
and I figured out it is a TO5!
An, no, that is NOT meant as a throwaway comment.

Ask my ex about having your kid as an employee.
Don't patronise me jmc.

No one warns you about being in your 40s or 50s and waiting for kid to come home, do they?
As assembled!
*giggle* i thought clinton handled it well
nope you assume that you will be too cool to wait for your kid to come home
half the words I need are plural or gerunds
go stiddie go
I couldn't wait until they both moved out and now I miss having a "presence" in the house...so they know the door is always open for them.
Parenting is for life, so long as you are kept up to date with their movements, or even their flight numbers if venturing abroad, the worry never ends.
never, jac!

Pini - tried all of those. I think he needs to visit a sleep clinic. Howver, if they want him to have the nose tube or the fish bowl on the head, I know it's not going to happen.
ROFL

(sorry, jac...didn't mean to laugh, but the image was just a little too much) :)

I keep trying to encourage him to eaat healthily, since his cholesetol count is high, and I can hear him breathing like my uncle did. The one who had 2 heart attacks and eventualy died of lung and bowel cancer. But every healthy meal I make, e turns into an unhealthy one by whacking lots of bread and butter into it.
last gi5?
* remove bread/butter from house? *
gi 5/18 word is gi 5/14 plus sometimes vowel Pinikula
the one after that one, min?
start with opposite of boy and finish with little **op of horros

probably still healthier since the bread and butter is on top of healthy food
is the NE 5 fishy?
I love his haiy chest, even though I hated the thought of hairy men before I met him. I don't want to see that lovely chest with a bloody great operation scar down the middle of it. And, anyway, he's my toyboy - he's suppossed to outlive me.
