sorry, didn't realize it wasn't accepted! should check

12:18 am

the ba7 sounds more reasonable than the da7

12:18 am

12:19 am

the IN 7 that was should that be a 6/7, if not i am calling In 6/7 :)

12:19 am

I called in7 and it was a 6/7

12:19 am

but there are too many 6s to bother calling them, unless they are neat words

12:20 am

i knew it was called grem just making sure we didnt have two butit is supposed to be 6/7

12:20 am

Which DA for the DA 7?

12:20 am

BTW everyone, spoke to Jill as soon as I got home today. She wanted you to know she's missing everyong. Internet problems continue, apparently a few others are affected by this problem, has to do with her server and Telus. Hoping it won't be much longer.

12:26 am

**everyonE**

12:26 am

Telus?

12:26 am

oh great.. thanks flosey.. I miss her

12:26 am

12:26 am

Telus is a wireless carrier in Canada

12:26 am

ISP too, I guess

12:26 am

grem ohh thanks

12:26 am

Telus is our telephone service here MLF, and they are also an Internet connection

12:27 am

1:04 am

Grem, I really appreciated your clues while at my daughter's, (last 5 days) don't know why, but I wasn't able to get Lickety's clues

helo?

1:09 am

no problem

1:10 am

There seemed to be a lot of annoying, uncommon 4s in this one.

1:10 am

The 6s and 7s were interesting.

Hey. I am watching Cooking in the Danger Zone Chernobyl on a farm 15k from Chernobyl. You just can't so no to Baba and her cooking

got that 2nd in7 for fireworks - weird word

1:19 am

wtg josh

1:22 am

good morning everybody! Winer is back! Cold and raining; I'm jumping in draped in a shawl and many layers of clothes!

1:22 am

interestingly, the wild mushrooms here in the Alps were badly contaminated by the Chernobyl explosion!

Hi Ruby.

Ruby it wasn't a neat exclusion zone. A lot of mostly elderly people have returned to the exclusion zone

hi, herinfernal, and everyone else. what am I doing up at this hour???

Ruby Mushies suck up the radioactive particles

1:26 am

locals are still afraid to eat the wild mushrooms here (and in the stores, many of them come from eastern Europe anyway)

1:26 am

yp

1:26 am

yup*

Yes.

Hi MElon

MElon your kitty looks rather pissy

1:33 am

must get to bed, it's been a long day, good night all, be back sometime tomorrow

1:33 am

hi and bye flosey, see you tomorrow

Ruby I don't really remember it I was young when it happened

NBT

1:36 am

I used to live not far from Three Mile Island, but nobody made a big deal at the time. Cherobyl I barely remember, but when I moved to France, people were still worried about it, evidently the radiation swatch went right over these mountains

1:37 am

swath*

It does frighten me

1:39 am

unfortunately, everything frightens me! lol?

Ruby I was just looking at statistics. In Chernobyl was approximately 400 times more potent than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima This is atomic rubbish. IN the Vic bush fires last year the energy of the fires produced 1500 times was released

1:48 am

I think it is very hard to trust what we read in the papers. Frequently, I think local wisdom is better. When a local farmer says don't eat the mushrooms from "our" woods more than once a week, he is probably correct

Ruby this is all scientific calulations

1:51 am

that is very scary about the fires in Australia; I had no idea of the extent! Were you affected?

1:53 am

yay! half

No I wasn't as I live in the city. My cousin fought the fires and his old house was raised to the ground

1:54 am

that is horrible. Was he able to save family treasures, photos and such? I always wonder what I would save in a fire.... I think dogs first, one statue next and then photographs

They didn't live there. My parents have all there photo's and important papers in one spot

1:57 am

that's very smart, keeping all the important stuff together. I need to think about that

I grew up in the hills so we are used to having a plan

1:59 am

were there a lot of animals where you grew up?

Not really we had 2 dogs and a cat and fish

2:01 am

is this one of those "breaks"?

2:01 am

is this one of those "breaks"?

yes

2:03 am

I meant wild ones roaming (or croawling!) thrugh the garden

Spiders, goannas, lizards

birds

2:04 am

big lizards?

yes

2:06 am

I think of Australia as having fabulous, but sometimes scary, wildlife. In France, there are very few edible animals left, except in the mountains. We don't even have squirrels, have only seen two (and I think it was the same one twice) in 11 years.

2:06 am

No rabbits or deer because they ate them all.

wow.

2:07 am

We do, however, have foxes in the field above the house and there are vipers around although I've never seen one

2:07 am

no other poisonous things, though

2:07 am

and we have beautiful spiders!

2:07 am

and many tiny drab lizards

Ruby I love Orb weavers

2:08 am

oh, and lovely small black bats that live in the cliff above us

2:08 am

don't tell anybody, but there is a kind of beautiful spider, many -colored, that I feed. She is an argiope and I call her Caliope!

2:09 am

I've learned how to catch flies without killing them

2:11 am

I'll be 67 in mid-April and have just "planted" lots of moss in my little rock garden. My husband read that you make a yoghurt solution, so we'll see. I've been planting it for two weeks now and it is starting to look pretty

lol, just read your post, Scrabbler.. have some coffee yet?

5:46 am

hi Dee and lynxxx

5:50 am

Hi Aloy. I am drinking tea now. I still occ drink coffee but I cleaned the coffee maker and put it away 2 wks ago.

5:50 am

flavored tea?

5:51 am

All flavors--pomegranate, peppermint, green tea....regular pekoe now.

5:51 am

I decided to lower my caffeine intake to see if my migraine frequency would decrease.

5:52 am

sounds great, more of a variety than with coffee. Ah, my daughter also has migraines and does not drink coffee, says it helps

5:52 am

ea4 was not so ea4 for me to see it---evidence that I am still not fully conscious.

5:53 am

takes me a while too.. I am hunting a ca4, have been for a while, lol

5:54 am

ah, got it, whew

dues

5:55 am

Hi Red!

sorry....Was lurking. made an error....heres a free clue!

5:55 am

hiya red, you may wave from the pb

passing toast from the pb to red...

Waves vigorously. Making blue berry muffins again, so maybe I can get out...soon.

5:56 am

hi Red

5:56 am

yummmm, we will consider the muffins a "toll tax" for your exit

yum

Excellent, will brew virtual coffee and tea for everyone here, maybe wake the cabana boys to help. pull out a good breakfast.

5:58 am

6:02 am

TY, Aloy

6:02 am

yw, fun word to say

6:03 am

hello everybody. I always thought caffeine was good for migraines!!

6:03 am

strange word, but thanks, aloy!

6:03 am

In Star Wars there was the Da6 planet or galaxy.

6:03 am

Ruby, it can abort them but if one does not maintain the same intake it can lead to more migraines.

6:03 am

hi ruby.. no, it seems that caffeine is good for regular headaches, but not for migraines

6:04 am

this grid is OK but I can't seem to find any 7's. Any hints?

6:04 am

I also want to drink more green tea--health benefits.

6:04 am

da7 is the pl of the Buddhist shrine

6:04 am

Oh, that's very interesting. I had migraines so long ago that they were still prescribing cafergot!

6:05 am

I think I got them from birth-control pills -- oh so long ago!!!!

6:05 am

Now the triptans are the most popular meds--"Imitrex", etc.

6:05 am

I don't think they existed yet....

6:06 am

Nope--new in last 10 yrs or so.

6:06 am

and I had migraines about 30 years ago

6:06 am

in7 is the pt of to enclose in a box

6:06 am

Well, I must shower and then drive to the Indian Reservation for the day.

6:07 am

6:22 am

gm jmb!

6:22 am

morning, jmb

6:22 am

We had lunch in a diner yesterday. I ordered a BLT and, of course, crossy was in my thought immediately

6:22 am

thoughts*

6:22 am

indeed aloy was the old coinage term during the first 10 years.did you know that the first issue of american coins was melted directly from mrs washingtons silver service??

6:23 am

wow.. no, I did not know that

6:24 am

several examples are still in private hands and quite valuable

6:24 am

do you collect coins, crossy?

6:25 am

i do indeed,mostly canadian of course,but i have a general knowledge of U.S stuff

6:25 am

numismatist? can't remember

6:25 am

lol close enough

6:26 am

see you later, 50 l;eft

6:26 am

later, ruby

6:27 am

we have a bunch of old coins, passed down to us from relatives who collected them, but none of our children have an interest in that hobby .. so one of these days, we will sell them

6:27 am

be very careful selling,if they scent lack of coin smarts,the most your will get is 30% of book value

6:28 am

ty for that advice crossy, I'm sure you are right

6:28 am

there is a pricing book for U.S coins commonly called "the red book"

6:28 am

can be had at book stores for about 7 dollars

6:29 am

yes, I do know about that book.. we gave the coins to our B-I-L bc he wants to look them up in the red book

6:30 am

cause like i say im not big on u.s coinage but i do know that some of the 1920,s sliver dollars are worth a crazy ammount of money

6:31 am

holy cow, in6.27 = a meeting of S. African tribes. I knew that, lol

6:32 am

brb, time for a refill

6:33 am

i did have the fun of grading a bunch of U.S one dollar gold coins a few years back:) all were from the 1850,s and just a tad smaller than our current dimes

6:34 am

imagine those things,back in the time when a man earned 20 cents a day for a hard days work:/

6:38 am

and i killed the chat:(((

6:40 am

no you didn't crossy, everyone must be asleep

6:40 am

yaa,what is this day 10 and im not rattling anymore:)

6:40 am

de 5, 16 clue please

6:43 am

I need caffeine, but that's only an excuse, of course.

6:43 am

tetley*

6:43 am

this is an interesting grid, bc it is not too big and so I have time to look up all these newbies

6:44 am

feel like I'm getting an education, and crossy is helping (-:

6:46 am

sorry that Martha had to lose her tea set though

6:52 am

the fun doesn't end! Looked up sy4.8 to find out that it is a "cibol" which turns out to be an onion!

that makes sense

I think cipolla and cibolla are onion in italian and spanish

6:53 am

weird

6:53 am

but thanks for the sy

6:54 am

hi kje (-:

6:54 am

7:12 am

took zyrtec, OTC which only helped a little, took it last night

7:12 am

yw and ty everyone ... see you tomorrow sporadically ... I can see that already.

7:12 am

congrats merk and hi peri

7:13 am

5 or 10 mg?

7:13 am

have prescription Allegra but don't want to take any yet

7:13 am

5 mg

7:14 am

10mg is normal dose for an adult... you can take another now, then 10mg daily

7:14 am

really, ok, ty

7:14 am

Ah, this is a fun, fun grid!

7:15 am

hava a dentist appt thisa am. have a small cavity, oh jo

7:15 am

Not flowing with lots of suffixes, but interesting words.

7:15 am

*joy* even

7:15 am

just don't want to be drowsy when I drive

7:15 am

and done

7:16 am

Like the sy 4 ... is that considered a babblet?

7:16 am

yay for kje

7:16 am

claritin is OTC and nonsedating, zyrtec is middle sedating, allegra is less effective than those 2 in my opinion

7:16 am

congrats kje

7:17 am

ok, ty, kje

7:17 am

doesn't occur frequently enough to be a true babblet

7:17 am

nene is a babblet...

7:17 am

Yes, but nene is a real word at least.

7:17 am

gotta run - see you all later

Just starting out but thanks anyway

Good morning, Mom. Rain just stopped here

We are expecting 3 days of heavy rain - flooding expected again

7:52 am

I'm off to see The Wizard, bye dear babblers

7:52 am

Where are you, Momneeds

7:52 am

Have a good day Annie - I am in NH

Ciao Annie - have a great day

Good morning kiddies

7:55 am

good morning Mr. Bob

7:55 am

Hi Hego

I'd move back if I could -- I love it up there

7:55 am

Rain, rain, rain, and more rain.

7:56 am

I have lived here all my life and do love it here.

Takuma, Do I hear you dissing Florida silently?

Good Morning, I need to change my icon to anything but this.

7:58 am

Hi Red

7:58 am

Yes, Red, you do. lol

7:58 am

It's a flower theme today.

Oh well...

Heh, no, Red. I'd never do such a thing

It's ok the summers here are rather, interesting.

I have Phineas and Ferb now Hego...

I wasn't saying I'd rather be anywhere than here -- NH just suits me better :)

7:59 am

syringes can also be a force for good.

I did a contract in Clarmont NH, for one summer and rather enjoye dthe hikes there.

but it was cold!

I think summer in NH has just about my favorite weather. I'll stop gushing now

Need to make some puzzle progress before I head off to work

8:07 am

hi everybody, back for another stab at the last 50!

8:08 am

Hi Ruby - I got to run for a bit - bbl

8:08 am

It is gorgeous and sunny and the house is wide open after a couple of grey, wet days. Spring is here, thanks to Hego

8:08 am

Go Ruby!!

8:08 am

Blushes modestly...

8:08 am

I'm on hold with our satellite company....arrghhh!

8:09 am

hate hold

8:09 am

and the music loop is bad and repetitious

8:09 am

It's become a way of life unfortunately, being on hold.

8:10 am

annoying because we paid the bill and they're saying we haven't. and in French, to boot!

8:10 am

And, the voice mail menu, motive for murder

8:11 am

Oh, gosh, in French, even

Time for me to get to work -- good luck all!

8:11 am

Bye Takuma

8:12 am

rain here too, seasonal allaergies and dentist appt. bah humbug!

8:12 am

bye takuma-san

8:12 am

poor peri!

8:12 am

Now that's a bad day, Peri! :-(

8:13 am

worse than being on hold; get a grip Ruby!

8:13 am

lots of people have it much worse than me, now worries. I will get thru the day. and hey maybe the sun will come out tomorrow

8:13 am

Yes, Annie.

8:13 am

*no worries*

8:13 am

that's the little Orphan one

8:14 am

Still on hold Rubes?

8:15 am

just got off. I actually think they are outsourcing their phone service; the young woman was speaking French with what sounded like a Chinese accent!

8:16 am

very hard to understand, but we're sorted out

8:16 am

Anythings possible.

8:16 am

so, how are you, Hego?

8:16 am

I'm good, Ruby. Status quo.

8:16 am

I think I've hit a wall with the grid but I am so happy with the garden that I don't care!

8:17 am

And that's a good thing.

8:17 am

the happy gardener. :o)

8:18 am

I've been "planting" moss for a few days on the raw-looking rocks around the tulips and it looks beautiful. Hard to tell if they will "take". Today I used a solution of yoghurt mixed with moss which Ruby kept trying to lick off the rocks

8:18 am

sounds delicious.

8:18 am

the first tulip opened today so there are hiacinths, scylla, daffodils, primroses and violets so far

8:19 am

sounds lovely, Ruby

8:19 am

saw lots of spring floers and trees in bloom yesterday, it was lovely

8:19 am

Are there any gy words?

8:19 am

off to do earrands, then the dentist, bbl

8:20 am

no hego

8:20 am

errands, even

8:20 am

bye Peri

8:20 am

and my housekeeper brought me a bouquet of pussywillow which evidently grow wild up above us. I kept them in a vase and today they are pollinating and growing roots. They're even fragrant -- who knew?

8:20 am

Not me

8:21 am

and the birds!!!!

8:21 am

I also have great birds here.

8:22 am

we don't have great birds, just a lot of them. Happily, they're all knew to me, so that's fun

8:22 am

It's a very quiet area and there's a patch of woods behind me.

8:22 am

new* duh

8:22 am

English as a lost language

8:22 am

I new what you meant. LOL

8:22 am

what birds do you get?

8:23 am

Mostly the normal east coast ones, Ruby

8:23 am

I think New Jersey gets great birds because of its being in the eastern corridor migrational path.....

8:23 am

I started learning about birds the one year I lived in Princeton

8:23 am

goldfinches and blue jays and cardinals

8:24 am

U=

8:24 am

except for a few, most of the birds here are pretty small

8:24 am

the odd turkey buzzard and red wing blackbirds now and then

8:24 am

I love the way goldfinches fly and flit

8:24 am

Also mostly a lot of them. robins galore

8:25 am

no blue jay or cardinals here

8:25 am

no robins, either

8:25 am

I like them too. Some nest in the tree on my lawn

8:25 am

our hedges are full of nests which I can hear but not see

8:25 am

You have completely different birds then

8:26 am

we've made the garden bird-friendly with a fountain/fish pond, hedges, lots of berries and a crazed husband who feeds them premium sunflower seeds 3X/day

8:26 am

I like the magpies in Europe, don't have those here.

8:27 am

the only ones in common are sparrows and the occasional woodpecker

8:27 am

It keeps him busy anyway

8:27 am

there are magpies but never on our property; I don't know why

8:27 am

better than setting fires hahahah.....

8:27 am

I dread hubby retiring. lol

8:28 am

Yup

8:29 am

this morning there was a pair of "Chardaronet Elegans" on the feeder, they have red, black and white heads, yellow and white epaulets and black and white tails. Even the beak is black and white.

8:29 am

Retirement is no joke!

8:29 am

the feeder is directly in front of the kitchen window and I can get a really good look without bothering the birds

8:30 am

and I keep my French field guide right at hand

8:30 am

The birds sound lovely, Ruby. I don't mind my retirement, it's his that makes me nervous. ;-)

8:31 am

I like bird watching too.

8:31 am

the best sighting, and it was only once and outside my studio (in the back) was a very big olive green (with a little red) woodpecker

8:31 am

Ooooo

8:31 am

I sort of miss working, but this is my first house and first garden, so that makes it OK. Also, his study is 2 floors away from my studio....

8:32 am

and I keep it messy, so he doesn't bother me, except by phone

8:32 am

nice arrangement

8:33 am

I'm finishing the basement to make Bill a music room. So I have a plan, you see.

8:33 am

very smart!

8:33 am

:-)

8:33 am

with its own little fridge?

8:34 am

and an electric kettle?

8:34 am

Not yet

8:34 am

But an idea to consider for sure

8:35 am

privacy is a real issue after retirement, I think, husbands tends to follow their wives around

8:35 am

Oh, yes!

8:35 am

I insist on certain hours to myself - selfish, but life-sustaining for me

8:36 am

And we're used to having the place to ourselves

8:36 am

and I was single for a very long time between marriages!

8:36 am

Not selfish, sensible.

8:36 am

It's the only way to coexist.

8:37 am

Oooo big adjustment.

8:37 am

Ruby and the garden are luring me out into the sunshine, but I hope to see you later! ((hego))

8:37 am

HAGD Ruby.

8:37 am

bye

8:38 am

8:45 am

8:46 am

if i don't dedicate my day to the grid i often do not finish

8:46 am

Or me

8:46 am

i often don't finish either! depends on how much time i want to spend. or energy.

8:47 am

i used to finish every single grid. that lasted about a year or so.

8:47 am

true

8:48 am

But you're still really good.

8:48 am

8:51 am

8:51 am

Hi Ata

8:52 am

best way to get a retired hubby out of your hair is to make sure he has a room for himself,a den,a fortress of solitude,a bunker of testoserone,all oak paneled,so he can jam his hunting knife into the wall to hang up his jacket,lots of leather and books and ships in bottles and brass clocks,and old wooden duck decoys glowing mellowly in the light of a small fireplace,and not a drop of lace to be seen:)))

8:52 am

lmao, a man cave!

8:52 am

8:53 am

my girl cave: room with a hot tub, lounge chair with side table stocked with books and snacks, computer, nice music, and sunlight.

8:56 am

but for it is the garden

8:56 am

A girl cave would have no man around, no stove, no laundry or dishes, for sure.

8:57 am

in my girl cave, children would NOT be allowed!

8:57 am

oh,children are verbotten in both caves

8:57 am

Sounds good feather

8:57 am

My cave has far too many books, all my art stuff, a big dog bed, the cat's basket, and a comfy chair!

8:57 am

You've asked the same question at least three times, fineisfine and you've been answered each time. Haven't you seen the answers?

9:45 am

she needed a bath. she wallowed through a lot of stinky mud

9:46 am

im new here, i got this yesterday and i dont know much about this

9:46 am

fine lickety question answered at 9.42 by momneedshelp

9:46 am

Lickety gives you the first two letters in each word in the puzzle plus their point values

9:46 am

Yes, there's wet dog smell, and there's muddy stinky dog smell. Something HAS to be done about muddy stinky dog smell.

9:47 am

My first day was a little confusing too - welcome aboard fine

9:47 am

yes .... especially sulphurous stinky muddy dog smell

9:47 am

haz, give him a bath, thats always fun for me

9:47 am

Oh, sulphurous as well, not just plain stinky?

9:48 am

riem

9:48 am

it was very gloopy, anoxic mud. She had a great time.

9:48 am

I have two at home that exude a fine wet stinky dog smell

9:48 am

labs and rain - watch out

9:49 am

labs are the worst!

9:49 am

Why were you exploring muddy places? And is your weather bad again?

9:49 am

once the entire house and furnishing smell like dog,then everyone will be fine:0

9:49 am

Look below the grid, fineisfine, and see the heading "Friends of Babble"....the top listing in the middle column is Lickety's Babble Clues....go to that site and you'll see the list of today's words, how many letters each word contains and what the value of each one is....read the instructions and you can paste in the list you've created on Babble to see what you still might need. Invaluable!

9:49 am

Hunting season is always a thrill for me when my husband comes home with ours

se6/27 - much like the de6/30 but more attractive, leading to pleasure...

10:01 am

se 6 sounds like the de 6

10:01 am

I know Ata and I am glad my goofs bring so much hilarity!

10:01 am

does anyone want to give me a hint for the 6 letter ones or 7

10:01 am

10:02 am

se6/30 - what a sailor might carry (two words)

10:02 am

thanks anyway boobear

10:02 am

Bye mixi

10:03 am

bi6/30 - people with prejudiced views (a plural for bi5)

10:03 am

Can't help you fine as haven't started the grid.

10:03 am

ca6 - where sailors might stow their se6/30

10:04 am

Haz the cluemeister is in full flow though :)

10:04 am

afternoon babblers!

10:05 am

da6/33 and its plural da7/48. da, then a backwards place in Ireland where peat is dug (think marsh land) and finish with a vowel.

10:05 am

Haz are you getting snow this week, looked dodgy on the forecast? Afternoon EvaN!

10:05 am

Hello EvaN!

10:06 am

It's turned remarkably cold again, FM, and yes, snow is forecast for tomorrow. Husband has only just got his tyres changed back again. It's like cloots, he shouldn't have cast them until May.

10:06 am

cold + rainy here today, though its supposed to be 72F here thursday! cant wait!!

10:06 am

Tsk, he shouldn't have!

10:06 am

I know, but it had all been shaping up so nicely for spring.

10:07 am

Haz, the da 6, am I correct that the place in Ireland where peat is dug is a 3 letter word, part of the word Babble comes from

10:07 am

You can blame him if it snows, just like I am blaming my neighbour for the fact it is pouring down as she put her washing out to dry today.

10:07 am

Yes, bichon, if you have the da4/7 - the derogatory term for a foreigner, just add the first letters of the noise a sheep makes.

10:08 am

I've never heard of that peat word, but I did get the da 6. TY

10:08 am

You're welcome.

10:09 am

You're not doing the grid today, FM?

10:09 am

HAve been busy with work so haven't had a chance to start yet but might a little later.

10:10 am

lol, so much easier to clue that da if you know star wars... the planet where luke goes to meet yoda... (i don't know if that's the correct spelling but ata would)

10:10 am

plus 3 celcius here and rain..a virtual heat wave;)

10:10 am

You're missing out on learning about Buddhist memorials and French clogs.

10:11 am

you are presuming I didn't know about them already?

10:12 am

35 f or so for my american friends;)

10:12 am

LOL crossy

10:13 am

Poor Americans, we Europeans try to confuse them with funny temperatures, military time and proper spelings.

10:14 am

like spelings, you mean?

10:14 am

lol indeed we do the same but we are right on top of them lol

10:14 am

You're right, hurshy, spellings. I blame this computer screen - nothing to do with me not wearing my reading glasses.

10:14 am

LOL! well picked up hrysh!

10:15 am

mind you who am i to talk?

10:15 am

hrysh has quite a Welsh look to it...

10:15 am

i'm cool with welsh

10:16 am

we tease them,but we do love them..please dont bomb us uncle sam!!..

10:16 am

10:17 am

Two in7. One is in7/36, the other in7/40.

10:17 am

ah, ok, thanks

10:18 am

this will be one of those grids with killer 4 letter babblets ..i can see it coming:(

10:18 am

and lots of phantoms

10:19 am

clue for ca 4/7

10:19 am

nm.. found it

10:19 am

ca4/7 - plural word.

10:20 am

the way a southerner would ask for those things used to open locks

10:21 am

lol cool

10:21 am

i can't find the 7/40 :(

10:22 am

Must go and finish off a few bits, back soon.

10:22 am

in7/40 - structured like a word that encompasses and involves, but it's missing an L. in plus what a ruminant chews, give it a plural ending.

10:22 am

See you later, FM.

10:22 am

nice clue haz,i was mulling over how to clue it,but without success

10:23 am

drat those plurals without the singular

10:23 am

and thank you kindly haz

10:23 am

Thanks,crossy, and you're welcome, hurshy.

10:24 am

the other day i was being silly and doing something which my husband thought looked like the prow-riding scene from titanic, so he said something about me trying to be queen of the world, and i said, no, HAZ is queen of the world.

10:25 am

And did he give you a funny look?

10:25 am

no, i'd told him that you were queen of the world before. he just forgot.

10:26 am

Ah well, he can't be expected to remember everything.

10:27 am

good grief..

10:27 am

it's true. boys' heads are filled with sports information and car information and stuff like that, so it crowds out other things.

10:27 am

Is he okay? I know he had some health problems?

10:27 am

he's okay at the moment, but we still haven't got the biopsy results to say if it was cancer or not.

10:28 am

I hope the news is good.

10:29 am

give him my best and i hope it is benign(SP) cannot think today

10:29 am

You got it right, crossy!

10:30 am

like i say,im dealing with fuzzy brain today

10:30 am

they usually come back very fast with the results hurshy

10:31 am

You are all too funny!

10:31 am

Hi your majesty Haz

10:31 am

Hello, hego!

10:31 am

my first cancer they came back with it in 24 hours and my second was confirmed same day

10:31 am

clue for ce 4/5

10:32 am

not always Crossy

10:32 am

Some pathology is trickier than others.

10:32 am

well i can only speak from my own experience,im sure it may differ with others

10:32 am

ce4/5 - a liberal helping of the third letter of the alphabet.

10:33 am

but i know the waiting can be hard indeed

10:33 am

very tough

10:34 am

we've been watching a cable series on the Tudors.

10:35 am

Very racy. Didn't realize you were up to such shenanigans back then. lol

10:35 am

I didn't watch it - I know the one you mean, I think Jacula talked about it.

10:35 am

it was quite - stylised. LOL

10:35 am

lol there is nothing new under the sun,just better and more novel ways to do it

10:35 am

Yes, not the history of the textbook, shall we say?

10:36 am

Up to Jane Seymour at present

10:36 am

distinctly more bare bottoms than in textbooks

10:36 am

no Haz. But Henry was a rogue.

10:36 am

Like the acting though

10:36 am

Misunderstood.

10:37 am

Really!

10:37 am

He was only thinking of the country. His own feelings didn't come into it at all.

10:37 am

You think so Haz?

10:38 am

I'm writing in tongue in cheek font.

10:38 am

Now you're pulling my leg, Lady Haz!

10:38 am

I noticed. :o)

10:38 am

Hi Babblers can anyone clue the se6/27 please ;o)

10:38 am

You'll probably get some historian wanting to make a name for him/herself who'll give you any version of history you like.

10:38 am

think of Henry

10:39 am

true Haz

10:39 am

Don Juan - licenced to se6/27.

10:39 am

Great clue Haz thanks ;o)

10:39 am

Or, in proper spelling, licensed to se6/27. Casanova was another one....

10:39 am

I can't wait for the Elizabeth part.

10:39 am

You're welcome, Norma.

10:40 am

I never get tired of her.

10:41 am

She's certainly a character who gives full scope for the actresses playing her.

10:42 am

And historically interesting as well.

10:42 am

Quite a gal

10:43 am

Haz would make a good Elizabeth

10:43 am

Yes, indeed.

10:43 am

with some heels :P

10:43 am

agreed

10:43 am

big heels

10:43 am

Heels and a red wig.

10:43 am

Oh wait, I'd end up looking like little Orphan Annie or something.

10:44 am

Actually, having seen Liz's tomb, I don't know that she was so tall.

10:44 am

lol Haz

10:45 am

still heels LOL

10:45 am

:-)

10:45 am

Tall people are so smug.

10:45 am

I know. But they can reach things, so no wonder.

10:46 am

*smug*

10:46 am

We do need them for that

10:46 am

They don't have to waste energy dragging chairs or stepladders to do things.

10:46 am

Top shelf shopping is a breeze for them.

10:47 am

Middle shelf shopping hard for Haz

10:47 am

I have to climb the shelves like a rock climber.

10:47 am

Ata's on a roll today.

10:48 am

Yes, she's managing to give a distinct impression that I veer towards being minuscule.

10:48 am

microscopic even

10:48 am

A Swiss roll woudl be nice

10:49 am

clue for da 6 pls

10:50 am

Boo, do you have da4/&? If so, add first letters of the noise a dog or a sheep makes.

10:50 am

da4/7 that should be - derogatory term for a foreigner.

10:51 am

Morning, all. Sorry if that has already been asked, but... Clue for se6/27?

10:51 am

10:51 am

10:52 am

10:53 am

10:53 am

I was thinking about John Edwards actually..lol

10:54 am

LOL

10:54 am

Moves piles of restraining orders.. what do you mean judi?

10:54 am

:-D

10:55 am

And you thought Henry was a rogue, Hego.

10:55 am

yup

10:55 am

But I never suspected Ruru.

10:56 am

ruru won't know whether to be pleased or flattered.

10:57 am

Or insulted

10:57 am

Or even displeased, I meant!

10:57 am

Aha

Or all at once!

10:58 am

11:03 am

Yours?

11:03 am

11:03 am

11:04 am

oh mine ata..mrs. Ru would kill him over destroying her shoes....lol

11:04 am

LOL :D

11:04 am

I imagine Imelda Marcos never had dogs.

11:07 am

He'll get over the chewy stage.

11:07 am

Lovely dogs who are genetically programmed to ignore shoes.

11:07 am

Dogs of Glory

11:08 am

Do you arms hurt from patting yourselves on the back?

11:08 am

Who are even superior to Cats of Glory, and that's saying something.

11:08 am

:-D

11:08 am

nope. spaniels can do taht for us too

11:08 am

My arms aren't long enough to reach my back, hego.

11:09 am

I am small, don't you remember?

11:09 am

they are lovely dogs, spanials are

11:09 am

Yes, teeny tiny Haz.

11:10 am

They are. Decorative and useful so William Morris would approve of having them in the home.

11:10 am

only clean and neat ones though

11:10 am

Do they dust?

11:11 am

As if I'd have dust in my house.

11:11 am

11:12 am

Now who doesn't know whether to be insulted or flattered?

11:22 am

I think asking to be worshiped is pretty elitist, too!

11:22 am

hi hego! bit of a typo there

12:20 pm

How are you? Been thinking about you.

not good, i'm afraid :( how're you?

12:21 pm

More anxiety?

yeah. doctors have been no help. feel myself withdrawing more everyday. feeling very hopeless

12:22 pm

Have you told them that?

i did - they just doubled the dosage of medication they put me on, so now i'm sleeping about 12 hours a day and anxious the rest of the time

12:24 pm

Gosh, I'm so soory to hear.

12:24 pm

You've been through a lot.

it's ok. when you don't have private medical insurance, they don't want to know

12:25 pm

Really terrible.

not sure what to do really

12:25 pm

whereabouts in LOndon are you, Pinny?

12:26 pm

Is there counseling available to you?

nw london - end of the northern line

12:27 pm

Don't mean to barge in Pinny & hego, but I have had panic attacks for years and it took years of different meds to get me 1/2 normal. I can now leave my home and go out - was house bound for years!

the wait list for counseling is about 10 months. i'd go into debt to fund my own, but can't seem to find a good counselor - went to see one woman last week, but she was awful

not a prob peabody - it's good to hear you're doing better now

12:28 pm

As Peabody says, you can't give up on yourself. Keep at it.

just withdrew my application for a dream job at the bbc - was meant to have the second interview this week. am so heartbroken

12:28 pm

Well, don't let them just dope you up. And remember it takes all meds a couple of weeks to kick in. I'm on zoloft now with no side effects.

12:29 pm

There is an answer somewhere.

12:29 pm

ok, let me give you the name and phone number of the guy I saw in London. He is utterly wonderful. I'm not sure whether he does NHS practice still, but maybe he could help you find someone if he doesn't. He helped me more than I could say, suffering from the same anxiety, panic attacks etc

12:29 pm

http://www.nightingalehospital.co.uk/m edical-professionals/all-consultants/r obin-powell/

that'd be amazing ata!

12:29 pm

YAY! Ata!

12:29 pm

called robin powell, he practices in marylebone mainly now

12:30 pm

seriously.

12:30 pm

This chat is amazing - follow that lead!

got it - will get in touch with him for sure. thanks so much

12:30 pm

mention my name, he *might* remember me. He saw me for about 2 years a few years ago

12:31 pm

that's great Pinny.

i really appreciate it. the guy i wanted to see charges £250 an hour

12:31 pm

he's SO helpful. Ask him for help. And just explain your money situation, ask about possibillities of seeing him for one session maybe and then he could give you ideas and maybe names of other people. He likes chatting on the phone too

thank you SO much

12:32 pm

he looks utterly public school omg how could someone like that help - bow tie etc - don't let it put you off. He understands. I'd happily bet he's suffered from depression himself

12:32 pm

and he has cocker spaniels

12:32 pm

LOL ca you tell I think he's utterly wonderful?

i'm getting that impression!

12:33 pm

he's very handsome too :P

12:33 pm

lol but really, I would trust him with my mental health anyday

12:34 pm

an added plus.

12:34 pm

Good luck Pinny - bless you ata - there was a reason for us all to be online at the same time. Will keep good thoughts for you Pinny

12:35 pm

(and feel free to email me if I can help more - elegaer@gmail.com)

12:35 pm

Me too

thanks everyone for your support

12:36 pm

Anytime Pinny!

12:36 pm

And thanks to you ATA

12:37 pm

between all the babblers, we know a usueful person for every situation!

12:37 pm

Probably

12:38 pm

Pinny, do your fingernails look normal? Have white spots, or ridges?

12:38 pm

hello, I'm back

fingernails look normal, although i do keep them painted all the time so it's hard to be certain

12:39 pm

Hi Rube

12:43 pm

I just read over the chat and the mental health discussion. What a wonderful group! After 9/11 I, too, suffered panic attacks but self-medicated and take 100 mg of Xanax and am fine now. Sleeping through the night but not more, etc. Anybody who hasn't been through it has no idea, Pinny, but this group is terrific.

12:43 pm

She needs help Ruby.

12:43 pm

panic attacks are terrible. I went through about 4 years of them, and generally so badly that I'd pass out *facepalm*

12:44 pm

Certainly and it sounds like Ata gave a great recommendation!

Hi all, so hope Pinny can get help.

12:44 pm

hi all...

12:44 pm

what is that about fingernails?

12:44 pm

hey ata... keep an eye out for your snail mail..

think it's going to be too expensive for me - just checked and it's £134 an hour just for cbt :(

12:45 pm

hello, Sally!

12:45 pm

hi, rolin

12:45 pm

hey pinny...im at the end of the northern line too..

12:45 pm

hello all

12:45 pm

that's only one place he practices in though - it was just the one I could find a contact for

12:45 pm

hi rolin, do you still play scramble

which end, rolin? north or south?

12:45 pm

hi peri, how did your tough day go?

12:45 pm

I know he practices in a number of places, adn I *think* some are NHS

Hi ruby. Been in London to see my 100% perfect grandson who is 2 tomorrow, and now today I have been to the dentist so am feeling sorry for myself :-(

ok

12:46 pm

oh..lol..erm... northern...didnt consider there were two ends..lol

12:46 pm

how lovely to have a grandson!!! I never will, unfortunately, can just take pleasure in my friends' having them

12:46 pm

if he doesn't, try and see if he knows of anyone who could help - at least a recommendation from him is probably a decent person

12:46 pm

it went ok, the dentist I saw was not the one Ihad made the appt with and the vit D I purs=rchase was not in the bag when I got home, but otherwise al is well. other peoples problems are worse than my not having a great day

12:46 pm

peri...i havent been...cos ppl were taking days and days to make a move...but im happy to pick it up again..

12:47 pm

I usuually play pretty quickly and I think I started a game with yoiu rolin. if not feel free to start one

12:47 pm

my typing stinks!!

12:47 pm

excellent...i will...

12:47 pm

if anybody wants to hear about a "small" day, my high point today was watching a lizard hunt and eat, repeatedly!

12:48 pm

and of course I am eating juju fruits, just not chewing on the side where I had a filling put in

Oh, you've been to the dentist, too peri!

12:48 pm

and, of course, chatting with Hego!!!!

12:48 pm

ooooh ive spent the day eating...im soooooo porky...

12:48 pm

yep

12:49 pm

I wish I could remember the name of the CBT lady I saw. She was £30 an hour a few years ago. Completely mad, but brilliant. Robin would be able to give you her contact details. She lives in Forest Hill and is a German opera singer called Cornelia? Cordelia?

I'm still sore but have stopped dribbling :-)

12:49 pm

about the grid ---- does anybody have a y word?

12:49 pm

ya4/5

12:49 pm

nope

Only just started ruby

12:50 pm

Ata dear, you did not say hi perrikins :(

12:50 pm

peri...ya4/6?

12:50 pm

ya4/8 and its plural

12:51 pm

ya + abbreviation for soldiers (plural)

12:51 pm

I got coping techniques for my panic attacks from my counsellor it really helped could start eating in public again which was helpful at black tie dinners, one of which I had to run out of in tears!

12:52 pm

ok pinny - robin.powell@dial.pipex.com - why don't you email him and explain your situation. much less stressful than talking to secretaries and things!!

12:52 pm

ty

12:52 pm

ty for the y clues!

that's a great idea - thanks ata

12:52 pm

(that worked last year anyway)

12:53 pm

if it doesn't work, let me know, I'll phone him and get his current one

thank you - i really appreciate it so much

12:53 pm

pinny, we'll all be thinking about you

thanks guys

12:54 pm

oh - my real name is Becky Carter-Hitchin. feel free to mention me. he should remember. hopefully. he loved my spaniel *facepalm*

that helps - wasn't sure if he knew you as ata or not :)

12:55 pm

ok..better check my garlic bread...

12:55 pm

You're not alone Pinny. It's important to know that.

12:55 pm

ata...check your snail mail...tomorrow or next day...

12:55 pm

hego is right, most of us have been through awful stuff, too

12:55 pm

oooo. ok!

12:56 pm

yup Ruby

it is really helpful, especially as it can feel so isolating just watching everyone around me being normal and getting on with life

12:57 pm

they may look normal......

12:57 pm

help with de5/18 pls

12:57 pm

nobody's normal Pinny.

12:57 pm

We all have "stuff"

12:57 pm

de5/18 what can happen to your teeth

12:57 pm

oh yes. I remember a few years ago discovering that my very staid, very upright normal aunt had been on anti-depressants for over 10 years. It suddenly made me realise that we're all the same!

12:57 pm

Why you go to the dentist Peri

12:58 pm

the worst thing is not to admit you need help and not to talk to people

12:59 pm

needed a filling

12:59 pm

I've just realised, the da6/33 is very nearly the planet where Yoda exiled himself in the Star Wars films

3:25 pm

gracias movieman

3:25 pm

yvw vlcl

3:25 pm

can you clue the planet, not that familiar with the film

3:26 pm

da+brit slang for mouth+vowel, weiik

3:26 pm

thxks

3:26 pm

and plural

3:27 pm

weiik not seen Star Wars? are you very young?

3:28 pm

no, old enough to have seen in theatres, but, did not know the name of the planets used in the movie,

3:28 pm

good evening all. Is it a young thing, Vlcl? I haven't seen any of them. No interest!

3:30 pm

just thought if weiik was young would not have been around when the movie was first out and might not be familiar with it.

3:30 pm

What are your fave films then, nancy boy?

3:31 pm

mine is old sci fi, I dined at the location for "the blob", friend of mine owned it for awhile

3:31 pm

favourite films! million dollar question...so many and they're all different ;) probably American Beauty, Velvet Goldmine...the Kill Bills will be in there...hm :)

3:31 pm

downingtown PA

3:31 pm

how about yours, Movieman? I'm guessing from your name you'll have some!

3:32 pm

Sin City, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs etc, Nancy Boy

3:33 pm

Also Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz

3:34 pm

Oh I -loved- Pulp Fiction! The dialogue just cracks me up. There's some of the same in Kill Bill too. Just ridiculous scripts.

3:34 pm

the thing,gray lady down,das boot,memphis belle,band of brothers,crimson tide,all quiet on the western front9with ernest borgnine..so many movies;))

3:35 pm

you put me to shame Crossy; I've seen precisely -none- of those films.

3:35 pm

Sam Jackson is an absolute LEGEND

3:35 pm

nor have I, NB

3:35 pm

6 days ,seven nights,flight of the phoenix

3:35 pm

The Thing is bloody excellent too

3:35 pm

Shaun of the Dead was hilarious but I'm pretty jumpy...not a good film to watch if you're jumpy!

3:35 pm

Elm Street, Halloween, The Fly (remake)

3:35 pm

what would you say are your favourites, Ata?

3:35 pm

the original and the remake of thing are great..remember the petri dish test?

3:36 pm

hello everyone :)

3:36 pm

trying to think! I don't watch that many films ... I adore The Two Towers from LotR. Watchmen. Actually, Watchmen is probably my favourite. the original Wicker Man.

3:37 pm

the cold equasions,charlie(flowers for algernon) rain man,pappilon

3:37 pm

howdy cyber nan

3:37 pm

and I adored Sherlock Holmes utterly. It'll be a favourite for a while

3:37 pm

Hey Cyber :) I loved Lord of the Rings, Ata, all three...probably just the hobbits though. They're adorable.

3:37 pm

I quite enjoy comic book films such as Iron Man, X-Men, Batman

3:38 pm

i also love lotr:)

3:38 pm

Iron Man was good. Dark Knight was *wonderful*

3:38 pm

Slumdog Millionaire, The Wrestler

3:38 pm

I was a kid when the Thing first came out and when you got your ticket you were handed a squashed down sponge of THE THING and the instructions were to put in water. It blew up into a big thing!

3:38 pm

I still love A Knight's Tale even though it's utterly stupid

3:38 pm

I thought Slumdog Millionaire was great. OH and of course...probably my favourite film ever, The Shining!

3:38 pm

The Wrestler and Sin City are probably Mickey Rourke's two best performances

3:38 pm

silence of the lambs,the stand,the abyss..i could go on and on but i wonbt lol

3:39 pm

although The Shining terrified me (and still does terrify me!). I couldn't sleep for ages.

3:39 pm

have ic 4 from the top i - anyone know what the other one is?

3:40 pm

another ic4 cyber

3:40 pm

oh -- nm -- another one, duh

3:40 pm

anything with Viggo Mortensen, Heath Ledger or Kristen Scott THomas in

3:40 pm

ty mm

3:40 pm

what is that movie with katherine hepburn and john wayne where they are on a boat of his and she keeps tossing his whiskey supply over the side?

3:40 pm

Viggo your dream man, Ata? ;)

3:40 pm

I like the first 3 Hellraisers too

3:41 pm

the african queen!!~

3:42 pm

utterly!

3:42 pm

oooh, what's the scariest film everyone's ever seen? For me it was The Ring. I watched it too young and I'm a total pansy anyway. Still get twitchy these days, if I think about it!

3:42 pm

A Walk on the Moon, talking of Viggo

3:43 pm

The Exorcist. I *totally* freaked myself out watching that!

3:43 pm

don't blame you Ata. He is lovely.

3:43 pm

when jaws first hit the drive ins in 1977..when that head folated out of that sunken boat..scared the crap out of me lol!

3:43 pm

floated

3:43 pm

popcorn went everywhere

3:43 pm

Elm Street when I first saw it, aged 12

3:44 pm

Psycho

3:44 pm

you'd love Walk on the Moon, NB. Is Viggo being all flower-powery and gorgeous. Summer of love etc etc

3:44 pm

Oooh Ata I'm too scared by the mere THOUGHT of watching that! Leo has it somewhere (he loves horror) but I won't even touch it.

3:44 pm

crossy, is that film you';re thinking of called Rooster Cogburn?

3:44 pm

lol...that's the Exorcist, not Walk on the Moon. I'm not scared of hippies.

3:44 pm

I only managed about 20 mins of it!

3:44 pm

no,african queen,i remembered

3:45 pm

he showed me the bit where that little girl does that horrible crazy walk down the stairs. That was enough for me!

3:46 pm

and - oh oh what are those horror films with the evil doll thing?

3:46 pm

and the abyss,that part where she intentionally drowns herself to save them both..amazing!

3:46 pm

child's play ata

3:46 pm

chuckie

3:46 pm

oh yes! that's freaky as hell

3:47 pm

i was never one for the gross out movies

3:47 pm

crossie, John Wayne WASN'T in The African Queen

3:47 pm

mm,bogie?

3:47 pm

I love gross out movies. I love the Kill Bills. SO much gore.

3:47 pm

Yep, Mr Bogart

3:48 pm

but paired with that awesome kind of Tarantino spirit and humour

3:48 pm

ahh my mistake

3:48 pm

Ever seen Braindead, Nancy Boy?

3:48 pm

don't recall it if I have, Movieman

3:48 pm

Fight Club! that's a good film.

3:48 pm

I do admit to liking the Saw series. Sometimes.

3:49 pm

last movie i actually went to a cinema to see would of been philladelphia

3:49 pm

It's an early Peter Jackson zombie flick

3:49 pm

and Snatch. that's so funny

3:49 pm

I'm looking forward to seeing Kick-Ass and Clash of the Titans

3:50 pm

Philadelphia is a GREAT film. Moves me to tears every time

3:50 pm

I like the Saw franchise Ata, I'll admit it too ;)

3:51 pm

sister just bought Saw VI so we can gross out mother next weekend ;)

3:51 pm

want tears?? watch lorenzo,s oil

3:51 pm

with nick noltie

3:52 pm

we have it on tape and ive watched it exactly once..cannot stand to watch it again

3:52 pm

oh - another film that really freaked me out the first time I saw it was 13 Ghosts. No idea why, I've watched it again since and not found it scary

3:53 pm

I cried after seeing This Is It, cos I realized I would never have the chance to see Michael Jackson in concert again

3:53 pm

i will send it to anyone who sends me a stamped envelope though.good movie but hard to watch

3:54 pm

at the risk of attracting mass hatred, I just don't like Michael Jackson. Overrated, overrated, overrated.

3:54 pm

the only film I ever cried in was the Lion King *blush*

3:55 pm

lol,your just a ole softie ata

3:55 pm

it's a great film Ata! :D

3:56 pm

6:13 pm

6:14 pm

Ewoks are OK..but that Jar Jar thing has to go!

6:14 pm

Hi Red. Why did you kill the chat? And I bet that you were not at all responsible for that.

6:14 pm

JarJar is a goofball.

I did earlier. so I left!

Scrabbler, med question. I got my Non fasting cholesterol levels done and they were 225. SHould I be terribly alarmed, it doesnt seem too high.

6:15 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

6:16 pm

Hi Min + Shirlock

6:16 pm

Hello Min, Red, shirlock...etc!

6:16 pm

Any high cholesterol issues in the fam hx?

the hdl were about 60 which is low and the ldl were like 140 or so.

My Dad has high chol. Last time it was checked the total was 178.

6:17 pm

Goal = high HDL + low LDL (< 70).

I mean, scrabbs the last time mine was checked. No idea what dads is.

I can decide if I just need to lose some weight or start taking pills.

6:18 pm

Go vegetarian, watch fat + cholesterol intake, recheck values in 6 mo.

6:18 pm

hi babblers

Not allowed really to go veg from the nutritionist, but I culd probably eat more chicken, rather than actual red meat.

6:19 pm

Hello pippingeek!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

6:19 pm

and fish red!

6:19 pm

Read Jonathan Safron Foer latest book--"Eating Animals." This book makes ca4 to go vegan.

6:19 pm

Hi pipping!

eat tons of salmon.

6:19 pm

hi min. very good mood today - unplanned day off, great lunch, having bottle of wine with the folks

6:19 pm

Hi Pip

I have a feeling its the combo of the extra weight and the stress I am under lately.

6:20 pm

Red, why aren't you allowed to become a vegetarian?

6:20 pm

crossy needs meat!! i do not have 6 stomachs like a cow;((\

Hi Car and pip sounds like you have had good days.

6:20 pm

And genetics--cannot change your genes.

6:20 pm

I saw bacon displayed at the supermarket a few hrs ago and thought of you, Crossy.

6:20 pm

No! Just glad to be here!

6:20 pm

Hi Crossy!

Well, I dont particularly want to become one, and often people with eating issues use vegetarianism to mask eating problems. So since I do believe honestly cows were made to be eated, I will continue to get some protien there, but maybe not from cows...specifically.

6:21 pm

i can not ruminate leafy greens forever..im sorry

But I could do some less butter....

I love leafy greens

6:22 pm

ill eat moose,deer.partridge,snake..the cow is not my sole victim

6:22 pm

Hello crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!

6:22 pm

I am seriously pondering going from pesci-ovo-lacto-vegetarian to vegan.

and more chicken...

Scrabbler, good for you.

6:22 pm

Silly Crossy the Carnivore!

must go put some more warm clothing on.

6:23 pm

scrabbler i think it's all about going in stages - cut out the fish, then see what happens

6:23 pm

pesci-ovo-lacto what???

6:24 pm

I love seafood but it bothers me to eat animals.

6:24 pm

I eat fish-eggs-milk products.

6:24 pm

we are not cows or goats,some meat must happen

6:24 pm

ahhhh, ty!

6:25 pm

i'm just trying to stay awake here. anyone need a clue?

6:25 pm

Protein is easy to ingest as a vegan. Most people eat too much protein, esp from meat.

7:30 pm

Hi, all!

7:30 pm

hey jellen!

7:30 pm

hi jell

7:30 pm

heard you got into the antique business, are you specializing in anything?

7:31 pm

Not specializing in anything, but have recently gotten into vintage jewelry...

7:32 pm

we did one years ago, to cut our expenses we rented for 2 years, and do the yellow page ad, people will come to you with their stash,

7:32 pm

I am new here today. What are the tile stats below the puzzle?

7:32 pm

We'll have a lot of glassware and pottery, some really nice books, old bottles...

7:32 pm

look into ethnic artifacts, I was lucky to acquire quite abit be

7:32 pm

Yes, we also plan on buying estates...

7:33 pm

goldieone, the tile stats tell you how many words begin with that letter

7:33 pm

b4 prices went up, american indian african, inuit

7:33 pm

Loads of Native Americans here (Oklahoma)

7:34 pm

do your research, unless it is cheap, there are alot of fakes out there, pottery was our home run

7:34 pm

thank you pippin

7:35 pm

also, goldie, if you go to the link below the grid for angelsong's page there is a lot of great info for noobs

7:35 pm

Yes, research is a challenge...we've found some Cherokee marked pottery pretty cheap...not old, but pretty sure it's authentic...

7:35 pm

thank you again

7:36 pm

ebay is a great place to do research, but, not in front of a customer trying to sell something, sometimes they will bury pottery in the ground for a couple of weeks, then bring to you, make sure it does not smell

7:37 pm

look at pre-columbian pottery, most people do not know what it is and sell too cheap

7:38 pm

Sneaky...will try to read up on it...

7:38 pm

glaze is what you are looking for, learn that

7:39 pm

I have so much to learn!

7:41 pm

we did a co-op, helpped with the rent, alot of people with drop a couple of hundred a month for a 10/10 spot

7:42 pm

We've decided to do consignment, but not coop...

7:42 pm

er, co-op

7:42 pm

how much sq ft are you looking at

7:42 pm

2500 or so...

7:43 pm

Maybe a little less...my math brain's out to lunch...

7:44 pm

we had 4K, 2500 is good .. get lots of display pieces with locks, and look for good insurance, to cover shoplifters, we got some in sacromento

7:46 pm

I've been buying locking displays...fortunately, the other antique store in town has not had much of a shoplifting problem...

7:47 pm

good, only problem with locking display, you have to leave the store front to open them up, whose watching the rest of the store,

7:47 pm

Most of the time, there will be the two of us there...

7:48 pm

good time for board games

7:49 pm

9:48 pm

Yes, Pini, because I have never done that and never will.

9:49 pm

really weird dream, scrabs

9:50 pm

It's better than the dream of a few months ago when I was breastfeeding one of my rabbits. I have a vivid, detailed, active dreamlife. I often wake up exhausted from the action.

9:50 pm

* closing eyes * TMI! TMI!

9:50 pm

It's the Scrabbler Channel! Pini, it was a dream! I didn't really do that!

9:51 pm

ROFL!!!

9:51 pm

i do too. glad they don't include breastfeeding. mine are usually flying!

9:51 pm

Well, dreaming it is pretty scarey in itself!

9:51 pm

I think you should purge your dream file, scrabs.

9:51 pm

I frequently have flying dreams--flapping arms to gain altitude. So fun!

9:52 pm

more fun, less traumatic

9:52 pm

Luw are you flying in a plane or flapping your arms?

9:52 pm

Sigh, I rarely remember my dreams...

9:53 pm

Oh, man, Jellen, you are missing out! I also frequently have lucid dreams--where one is conscious of dreaming so you can direct the dream but feel safe and in control.

9:53 pm

I'm with you, jellen

9:53 pm

strt jumping and just glide standing up. frequently i have a birdseye view of familair places - etremely vivid and cool

not seeing fireworks happen for me without a lot of help. still have 26 left

10:32 pm

bigot

10:33 pm

Sorry; Heck of a way to re-enter the game! <BLUSH!!!>

10:33 pm

don't call me names, nef!

10:33 pm

i have 9 left and am bumping my head against the wall

10:33 pm

Pipping, I didn't mean you or anyone else; I thought I was in the other box again!

10:34 pm

hi nef & pippen

10:34 pm

i was actually joking, nef, i know you would never say that

10:35 pm

Sometimes I just get so excited when I have a word pop out that I just ENTER it and don't see where I'm at!

10:36 pm

(I *hoped* and thought I knew you were kidding, pippin!)

10:36 pm

Hi jmb!

10:37 pm

how are you jmb?

10:37 pm

i am about to give up the ghost

10:37 pm

i've had a glorious day but the wine has given me a headache

10:37 pm

sorry pippin

10:38 pm

can't really complain - got to sleep obscenely late, decadent lunch for free, clean sheets to sleep in, get to do a grid, and wasn't even supposed to have a day off!

10:39 pm

sounds pretty good but a headache can be a spoiler

10:39 pm

gonna drink some water and take some aspirin, i have faith it'll be fine

10:40 pm

my favorite line from man of la mancha is "have faith and shuffle the cards" faith, water, & aspirin should work

10:41 pm

eat some protein too. Lots of water and some protein might help

10:42 pm

think i'm going to hit the sheets and just leave the last 9

10:43 pm

probably a good plan if you're that tired, jmb. Sleep well!

10:43 pm

good luck nef & pippin

10:44 pm

had lovely lobster pasta for late lunch and dinner, so i think that counts as adequate protein

10:44 pm

ttfn

10:44 pm

YUM! Now I envy you! (But not for the headache)

10:45 pm

okay, i got the in7/36, but apparently am too blind for the 7/40. any id4s?

10:47 pm

in7/40= a Big Mac in*l**** pickles onion.....

10:47 pm

that's the clue i've been unable to decipher all day

10:48 pm

and lo and behold i got it!

10:48 pm

it's the word minus the letter "L"

10:48 pm

i was having trouble figuring out what the word was, not the part that i had to omit the l

10:49 pm

LOL! I'm glad you got it! :-D

10:50 pm

down to 18, and got everything g's and later (i think, will have to doublecheck)

10:51 pm

hello 69 to go

10:51 pm

10:51 pm

10:56 pm

PIPPIN! Got the Other D!
