12:56 am

was it your internet carrier jilli?

12:58 am

hi flosey -- missed you at bridge

12:59 am

yes, robbie, a combination of the ISP and the telephone people who provide the broadband -- too complicated to explain but there was an IP conflict

1:00 am

well, I'm glad that it is all sorted out jilli

1:01 am

1:04 am

Oh, that was just too easy...something fishy going on here...nbt

1:04 am

Have I got the wrong icon theme? I thought March 29 was flowers and March 30 waqs tenrecs. I'll check sprite's profile.

1:06 am

Yes, that's what Sprite's list says...

1:06 am

how is Mr P?

1:07 am

Ooh, ooh, I'm in the grid! mo5

1:08 am

1:19 am

Well, I learned a new word today, jilli. Tenrecs. I didn't know there was such a thing as a river otter

Ah, I take care of them in the ER all day, I must have blocked them from my mind, thanks!!

1:19 am

the first mo5/12 is a shimmery fabric

1:20 am

well, doug, I think they're not really otters.

1:21 am

8 left but need to go to work, see you all later x

1:21 am

bye katie!

1:22 am

Understood, but that's what one of them got called, yes?

1:24 am

guess so, doug. But aren't there real river otters too?

1:24 am

I'm off to bed, good night all

1:24 am

be back tomorrow at flip

1:24 am

Over 60% complete and nbt. Will I need the list?!?

1:32 am

only you will know, doug

1:34 am

my goodness -- only 4 left!

1:34 am

One of the Three Musketeers is in the grid. Does that mean there are candy bars in the Penalty Box? Most likely

1:35 am

I don't think they would be in the Canadian PB

1:36 am

1 left

1:36 am

They don't have 3 Musketeers candy bars in Canada?

1:37 am

* * firewords * * !

1:37 am

I don't think so, doug, but then I'm not a big candy bar fan

1:38 am

Yay jilli!

1:38 am

I don't think I've ever finished so fast or seen a grid with all real words before!

1:45 am

2:07 am

stuff they use to make beer is in the grid...which reminds me...

2:08 am

iw4 is one of the few, the proud Babblets in this grid

2:19 am

fireworks - very quick puzzle

2:23 am

yay anike - Compensation for those grids with 400-something words in them

2:24 am

gd morning everybody, tiny grid today

2:30 am

Fireworks...hello rubyfoo...I think everybody is you and me right now

2:30 am

you and me is OK! lol

2:31 am

very late for you, relatively early for me, the slacker

2:32 am

I've babbled on and off for a while...this is a good time for me

2:33 am

I like the big, juicy grids better; since I never finish (without a lot of help), at least they give me more to do

2:34 am

how many words today please??

2:34 am

I made it to nbt on this grid with no assistance, which is rare for me

2:34 am

only 61 diann

2:35 am

I can usually get that and at least half, but frequently, not more

2:35 am

I've stopped looking at my ranking as I don't see the point

Hallo all. Thought I woiuld just sit down for 10 minutes with a cup of coffee before I go and clean hens. What a small and easy grid so far!

2:36 am

hello sally. How does your tooth feel?

Only one 6, one 7 and all the rest 4s and 5s!

2:37 am

It's a most agreeable grid, diann

I feel better today ruby, just a bit sore. I have a new and lovely dentist which is good.

2:38 am

my dentist is getting very old and I am afraid he'll retire leaving me without a good one -- alas, alack

My old dentist retired, and it has taken me a long time to find a nice one who doesn't expect me to pay him in gold bullion.

2:39 am

half, yay!

2:40 am

mine is so fancy, that, besides a house in Geneva, he has a farm in the countryside where he raises cows, St. Bernards and FLAMINGOS!

Looking at this one so far, I should think you would finish it ruby.

2:41 am

you give me more credit than I deserve, sally! lol

Eek ruby! I have found a lovely National Health one so the fees are very low.

2:42 am

it's amazing to me that he can actually breed flamingos in Switzerland (and we probably pay for their shrimp!)

Flamingos aside, is he a good dentist?

2:46 am

yes, very sweet and gentle and gives me kisses!

lol ruby

2:47 am

he's so old that he thinks I'm cute! raofl

Wow, I think I would worry if my dentist thought I was cute!

2:51 am

43 words and I had better get dressed! see you later!

Yay ruby! I have 38, and really must go and do my duty in a minute. Are you still there? I have a funny story.

2:52 am

I'm still here and listening.....

Have been staying at my son's. My small grandson has one of those mats with the letters of the alphabet and the numbers on it, about 7 squares by 7 I should think. I found I was sitting there making up words like in Babble! Oh, look, I can get bin, bins, bint, bints, etc! Addicted or what.

2:55 am

the question is, did your grandson get more words? When I can't sleep I go through the alphabet, figuring out 7-letter words for scrabble

2:55 am

we are definiately addicted to word games! lol

Er, no ... He's only 2.

2:55 am

does he know the letters? Have you taught him the ABC song?

2:56 am

do you have a photo of him in facebook?

He doesn't know the letters really yet, but he is beginning to know numbers, we count the stairs etc, and he is beginning to know colours - the red car, the blue car etc.

No, I'll put a photo of him on facebook later. I could eat him all up.

2:57 am

if you teach him the abc song, he'll go through his whole life humming it when he has to look something up! lol

It's lovely to see them learning new stuff.

2:57 am

you are very lucky!!

2:57 am

you are very lucky!!

2:57 am

((sally))

It was a struggle for them to get him, so he is extra precious.

3:08 am

any hints for the non-prickly TH?

how many letters, lexi? (not listing)

3:10 am

Be th5/12, look through the grid carefully and you will find it.

3:10 am

uk would spell it with ugh at the end

ok, got it. Oh! just about to clue it and see Haz has done so.

3:10 am

no idea, forgive me, but is there a listing of how many letters are in each word?

3:10 am

It's archaic, lexi

3:11 am

It's the same as the prickly one, save for the last letter.

3:11 am

Good morning/evening all.

Usually under lickety's babble clues (scroll down under the grid and you will see the link)

Hi Haz, only popped in briefly and what do you know, I only have 7 to find, so I might as well finish now ...

3:13 am

got it, thanks!

3:13 am

It would be a shame to leave now, Sally, so close!

3:13 am

You're welcome, lexi.

Two minds with a single thought, Haz!

3:14 am

Two souls with but a single shoe

2 to find now, and not listed - fastest grid I have ever done I think.

3:16 am

I know, it didn't look that promising at the start, but it's pretty fast.

Fireworks. Must go and clean hens now, but will be back later to chat probably.

3:17 am

Well done! Maybe see you later.

Hope so, Haz! Bye for now.

3:19 am

Sally would now the meaning of the now-infrequently used phrase "madder than a wet hen"

3:21 am

Perhaps she uses dry shampoo.

3:28 am

I never think about cleaning hens, at least until now

3:31 am

I have a wet dog ...

3:32 am

Hello Ata! Hobbit been splashing about again?

3:32 am

*at least not until now*

3:33 am

yep!

3:35 am

Is your weather bad again, Ata? We've not had snow so far, but it's got cold.

Hello.

3:39 am

Hello, herin.

How are you all?

hi all; hi herin

Hi. I got the best news today

3:41 am

Hello, Volley.

what?

3:41 am

Hello herin. Any wet animals where you are? The reason I ask is that Sally-catlover is off cleaning hens, and Atalante has a wet dog

I am going to be an Aunt or gothmum

awww how soon?

3:42 am

gothmum?!?

fairy godmother

Um maybe first week of October g

fantastic!

3:46 am

Oh, yes, quite

3:46 am

morning all

Hi Sprite :D

hi sprite

3:47 am

hey lady :) How's life?

3:47 am

hi VolleymomDee

how are you sprite?

Good. See below

and you?

3:48 am

*scrolls*

3:48 am

oh wonderful, gratz :D

3:49 am

hello everybody

3:49 am

hi sprite, how are you feeling?

3:49 am

hello lady

3:49 am

Dee: on the mend. No energy, but do have hope again. So I am good. And you?

3:49 am

hello mom dee

3:49 am

hey rubyfoo

Hi Ruby. I was so happy I cried.

3:49 am

I was on earlier and found 44

hi ruby; glad you are improving sprite; just getting over the "crud" here, so know what you mean about no energy...

3:50 am

that is good crying, herin!!!!

3:50 am

happy tears

so sweet herin

3:51 am

on the mend as well then, Dee, am glad. Building up new energy takes a long time and is sometimes so frustrating! But it will be ok.

did you have flu sprite?

3:51 am

I think your optimistic attitude is helpful, too, sprite!!

Ruby it is and my friend is going to be a dad so yes very happy.

3:53 am

flu, then bacterial infection (big one), then antibiotics, then allergic reaction to former, then new meds against that. All the time diarrhea too, so kind of exhausted what I had. Back to building up again now. The weather is helping, with spring on its way :)

3:53 am

the best crying is what the French call "fou rire", laughing 'til you cry.

O Sprite

oooh, so sorry to hear sprite; that is nasty

3:54 am

can we send you some nutritious [sp?] treats to help build you up, sprite?

3:54 am

yeah well, rubyfoo, it took me a while this time to get back to optimistical. Was too darn tired. But got my feet back under me again :)

3:54 am

yay for sprite!

3:54 am

spelling is good, I believe, and yes please, fill up the penalty box for me with goodies :)

fireworks... duh last word mo 5/12 lol

3:55 am

I've heard that herring, especially with onions (!), is particularly good for you

3:55 am

yummy! Good fresh herring is lovely.

3:55 am

hi everyone

3:55 am

I wish, the only kind I get here isn't very fresh

3:56 am

hi Andree :)

3:56 am

hi andree!

well all I need to get going; I hope you have a happy day!!

3:56 am

and sprite glad you are starting to feel better

3:56 am

Hello Andree, and sprite and other new arrivals.

3:56 am

hi Haz

3:56 am

hello haz, I didn't see you.

3:56 am

bye Dee, have a good day

*poofing with hugs*

3:57 am

bye dee

3:57 am

thanks Andree, so am I :) How are you doing?

Later Volley. My gosh my social calander just got full again

3:57 am

how is your weather, haz, whatever you have will be here in 2 or 3 days!

3:57 am

I've been flitting back and forward looking at photos.

3:58 am

It's got very cold again, ruby and we have snow forecast. I'm hoping it's just the weather people trying to be dramatic again.

3:58 am

i am fine, raining here, we need it, wet dog too

3:58 am

am sure it is, Haz. It is Spring time. No more excuses for the sun to stay hidden.

3:59 am

oh no! we need a little rain bu, please, no more snow as everything is coming up!

Hi Andree

3:59 am

yesterday I planted 3 new lavender as the old ones were ugly and looked half-dead

3:59 am

but I have a little lilac waiting to be planted but I'm afraid it is too cold

3:59 am

It's frustrating, isn't it? Daffodils are only just appearing and back comes the winter.

4:00 am

Andree, you need a wet dog? Want mine? ;)

4:00 am

Don't plant the lilac yet, ruby, and do you know that it probably won't bloom for seven years?

4:00 am

I have daffs, forsythia, hiacinths, scilla, wild primroses (to match the daffs) and one tulip

4:00 am

put a layer of straw on the new flowers to protect them

4:00 am

For some reason lilacs need to be seven years old before they bloom for the first time.

4:01 am

you're kidding, I hope, I'm pretty old to have to wait that long.

4:01 am

It is about 2 feet tall

4:01 am

hello. haz, i haven't found that to be true for myself. maybe we've just bought older bushes.

4:02 am

I kid you not, ruby, so don't think you've done something wrong if it doesn't bloom this year. Not seven years from planting, though.

4:02 am

I don't know how old it is but it's very sturdy-looking

4:02 am

ahhhh!

4:03 am

woot found the biggie

Feather gentle hugs

4:03 am

it has an ideal spot waiting for it, lots of moisture, lots of sun, and lots of room for growth

4:03 am

heh, thanks herin. he's still parked on the throne.

4:03 am

Here endeth my store of knowledge of lilacs.

Poor kid. I would like to be parked in bed

4:03 am

still impressive, Haz

4:03 am

me too. it's 5am here.

4:04 am

5AM! aaargh

4:04 am

argh that is night still

4:04 am

i'm up because my son is sick. i got tired of hanging out in the bathroom with him.

4:05 am

how old is he?

4:05 am

thx sprite for the wet dog offer but have one of my own

4:05 am

poor kid. poor mum. Hope he will be better soon.

4:05 am

5

4:05 am

maybe we could pool the wet, stinky, dogs; that way only one of us at a time would have to deal with the mud!

4:06 am

*grin* 's okay, Andree, we love him too much to let go anyway. But he loves to get all muddy and dirty. Doesn't sw4, but manages to accumulate a large quantity of mud and sand every walk.

4:06 am

sorry, maybe Ruby is the only one who is stinky when wet!

4:06 am

chow chows don't sw** either, too much fur, I think

4:07 am

Terra can swim, but he does not particularly like it. Hallelujah.

4:07 am

boro

4:07 am

hugo always smells lovely,lol

4:07 am

sorry, pb?

4:08 am

lol of course. Lovely to dog's noses.

4:08 am

nope, no pb. It has to be valid to earn entrance to the hall of goodies.

4:08 am

both dogs have sweet breath but Ruby is always dirty; her favorite spot is under shrubs where there is always dirt or mud

4:08 am

sometimes she smells like peaches, but not usually

4:10 am

any hints for the i or the lonely e?

4:10 am

or dogs' noses?

4:10 am

the vet says it's normal for Ruby to be greasy under her fur, but I have to use dish detergent to clean my hands after her massage

Must go have a wonderful day.

4:11 am

bye lady, *hugs*

hugs bag

4:11 am

bye herin, have a happy day!

4:11 am

metal for the i

4:11 am

4:14 am

4:14 am

just don't stop and you will

4:14 am

aah, got the other e! yay

4:15 am

One of those e's is spelled about 3 or 4 different ways

4:15 am

lol yes indeed

4:15 am

yes, it depends where you live lol

4:16 am

I think that is because in the original language they used another alphabeth. So all names are transcriptions of the sounds.

4:16 am

yes, exactly, sprite

4:17 am

down to 10! got all the h's

4:17 am

no, missing one on the left

4:17 am

4:24 am

rubyfoo, the other i is the babblet for archaic 'for sure, certainly'. Also spelled with Y.

4:28 am

4:35 am

4:54 am

Morn'in all

5:06 am

Morning Odin. So many 4 letter words today.

24

sorry 49

5:10 am

that sounds more like it

5:11 am

lots of plurals to make them

Back to chat. rubyfoo, you still here?

5:15 am

finished

5:16 am

Not a bad grid at all ... I really enjoyed it. I got up early b/c I have to go away today and feared I might not return to get it finished. I worried for nothing.

5:17 am

See you tomorrow, hopefully later in the morning than this.

Bye for now mudd. Yes, I did the grid earlier in rapid time.

5:18 am

... and Fireworks!

5:19 am

Hi!Hallochen!Im new here..how does one play?xxxlol

5:21 am

You picked an interesting day to start ... probably good. There are a lot of short words. Just type in any words you see and when you get to 61, you've finished. There are a lot at the top of the grid using the o and also plurals. The words must be at least four letters long.

5:22 am

Wow!thank- you so much for responding - my freind told me about this site....

fireworks...nice grid!

5:22 am

Danke Schoen

5:22 am

x

Wilkommen Abby74!

5:22 am

49 four letter words, Ten 5 letter words, 1 six and 1 seven. The seven was made using a suffix. That's it.

5:23 am

Hallo!

5:24 am

Wie gehts?FishFishGarden?lol

5:25 am

Today is a grid you could do all on your own. Some days I can, some not. Below the grid is a link to Lickety's Babble Clues and that will tell you the starting two letters of the words and how many letters long they are. On huge grids, I finally have to resort to using it. Since you are not a member of Babble, you're flying on your own and the grid helps.

5:26 am

:-)Thanx Merk.............

5:26 am

Time to go. See you tomorrow morning.

5:26 am

:-)

Wow, that was quick

6:04 am

My friends will be in Amelia Island soon. I opted out--prefer to be in the woods with lakes and rivers. But next year they said I have to go with them.

Well, I have given the new job enough time to know it is not good. So, I have to look again.

7:32 am

Why, Red?

7:32 am

Too stressful?

7:32 am

are you going to stay in Florida?

Georgia O'Keefe has been reincarnated into a flower?

Silly.

8:32 am

So why did the demonic pig make you think of Crossy?

8:32 am

is that the wife of Carling O'keefe? lol

8:32 am

demonic pig?

8:32 am

Another Silly.

8:32 am

Speak of the devil.

8:33 am

i am associated with a denomic pig??

8:33 am

demonic

8:33 am

I think it was the bacon connection, Crossy.

8:33 am

Hello lovers and other strangers

8:33 am

howdy judi

8:33 am

The Gerasene pig from the Bible.

8:34 am

Hi Judi!

8:34 am

?? Crossy and demonic certainly don't belong together in the same sentence.

8:34 am

I love that movie Judi.

8:35 am

i was about to say.. lol

8:35 am

You're sure?

8:35 am

im hurt and shocked..think ill go eat a bunny to feel better

8:35 am

Kill a kitten, Crossy. You'll feel better.

8:35 am

I have heard Crossy use that word in speaking of his teenager, however.

8:36 am

I think he meant a candy one Judi.

8:36 am

ahh the deamon spawn from the seventh circle of hell?

I have 7 left. Is there a list anywhere?

8:36 am

That one.

8:37 am

or the spawnage as we like to call him

8:48 am

yw

8:48 am

yes

Or is that a mistake on Lickety?

yes 2 mo 5's

8:50 am

Do you have 4 wo's?

1st one is mo + anger

the w4 that isn't crawly, not a derogatory word for Italians, and is not the one just clued

I have 4 wo's,

Maybe I'll look for the second mo5- that isn't the cloth

another form of the wo tht was clued, change the last letter

8:51 am

that's what Lickety says 4 wo's and 2 wi's

I have that one also

the other mo 5 is another word for an idiot

I'm confused

Fireworks!. There wasn't another wo after all.

8:52 am

Congrats!!!!

8:52 am

wtg kap

how do you know the first two letters and length of the word?

Hi everyone

9:29 am

Afghan Hound, very cute but too much work

9:30 am

ty - i will leave you to babble.

9:30 am

any more clues befor i go?

Mary do you own the Afghan?

9:31 am

bye all

9:32 am

No not this one, but I've had 3 at different times. According to something I heard a long time ago, the Afghans are the dumbest out of the 72 AKC breeds. But when it comes to food, they're the smartest. Go figure.

Is it true that they are dumb?

9:35 am

No really, once you have one they are very loving, but they do need a lot of work, free to run, and heavy duty grooming.

9:35 am

After 3 decided to go with a short haired dog

I always thought they were lovely but air head like

9:40 am

good decription, air head, I like that. Anyhow, fireworks for me. Like these short ones, not I can get some work done. Bye all.

11:30 am

Loved the wedding pics Haz

11:30 am

hi eva

11:30 am

Hello, EvaN, how are you?

11:30 am

Hey EvaN!

11:30 am

peachy keen, and yourself?

11:30 am

They turned out well, just enough to give a flavour of the day.

11:30 am

wedding pics??

11:31 am

got the 7, yay

11:31 am

My daughter was bridesmaid for her best friend last Friday, I'd e-mailed some of the pictures to FM.

11:31 am

yea Haz finally made an honest man out of Mr HAz *giggle*

11:31 am

oh, how lovely! did she get to wear a dress she would wear again? or is it destined for curtains?

11:32 am

FM -- after all those years of living in sin. ;)

11:32 am

It was a lovely dress and yes, hopefully she will get to wear it again. Red silk and shortish.

11:32 am

I must say the dress was lovely and so refreshing to see, - it was a mid calf with lots of petticoats.

11:33 am

i am going 2 weeks from this weekend with my bridesmaids to hopefully find some dresses!

11:33 am

The bridesmaids bought their dresses off the rack, the bride got hers designed and made by a local lady. It suited her perfectly because she's so petite - full length would have drowned her.

11:33 am

Actoually I could see you in that sort of dress EvaN.

11:34 am

Let me see if I can get some evidence for EvaN...

11:34 am

L looked lovely HAz.

11:34 am

uno

11:36 am

id love to see it. :)

11:36 am

I think she has gone hunting for a pic EvaN :)

11:37 am

Oh phooey phone, brb.

11:38 am

EvaN, if you refresh, or click on my icon, you'll see my daughter with her boyfriend.

11:39 am

may i have half a clue? i have the ir4/4. all i want to know is what the second letter is on the other i word please.

11:40 am

i still see the gorgeous spangle when i click on your icon... but in the teeny icon pic, it looks nice. :)

11:40 am

It's an unexpected letter worth 5 points, feather.

11:40 am

iw babblet, feather.

11:40 am

got it. ty.

11:41 am

Now let's see if I can get a decent sized pic of the bride...

11:41 am

i think i monkeyed everything BUT iw words!

11:43 am

See the new icon HAz, a tad sqidged but such is the way with babble.

11:43 am

* or should I say I see ..

11:44 am

Yes, the one with just the bride and groom makes them look even smaller! I've used a different one, hopefully it looks a bit better.

11:44 am

iw4/8 feather a long time babblet.

11:44 am

hellllooooooooo

11:45 am

Helloooooooo back!

11:45 am

Helloooooooo on iw4/8 and Tenrec day!

11:46 am

shame it's not yw ... but ...

11:46 am

Wouldn't it have been quite something if the tenrec had appeared in the grid? We'd have had to have X files music playing.

11:46 am

like Rafa Nadal did ...

11:46 am

lol that would have been fun/interesting.

11:47 am

you have lost me there Ata.

11:47 am

What did Nadal do?

11:47 am

rafael and nadal were in the grid for Une's birthday

11:47 am

(Glad I'm not the only one not to get the reference)

11:48 am

Ah! Light dawns.

11:49 am

*yawn* but happy for Une.

11:49 am

I must tell you about the local paper. It seems to have been compiled by somebody on work experience this week. We have people advertising loft conversations, curtain alternations, and we have a picture of a young man at a school concert playing a panio.

11:49 am

oh my!!!

11:50 am

Hello Everyone

11:50 am

wow only 61 words eh

11:50 am

LOL loft conversations! I trust you wil lbe writing to them?

11:50 am

It's incredibly bad, even worse than usual, and that's saying something.

11:50 am

Hi sadie - it is a friendly and short one today.

11:51 am

I'm debating whether I have the patience to sit and mark all the mistakes and then post it to the editor, asking for a refund.

11:51 am

hiya FMitch works for me :)

11:51 am

Oh do just for the satisfaction, never mind the refund!

11:51 am

you could at least work on 1 page

11:52 am

How are you Ata, feeling better now?

11:52 am

We also have the story of a man charged with indeceny. He made the mistake of urinating against the police station walls, then exposing his buttocks in the park opposite the place.

11:52 am

His solicitor claimed that his belt was loose.

11:53 am

until the next time ... :D

11:53 am

lmao ... oh dear. what a place to choose

11:53 am

what a thing to get charged with too lol

11:53 am

I know! Rooms full of bored policemen, trying to hit their target of arrests and this joker turns up.

11:54 am

hehe they are sittin there praying for a jerk like that

11:54 am

The indeceny was the paper's attempt at spelling indecency, unless they've come up with a new name for it. A couple of weeks ago they charged another man with 'riding furiously' on the pavement.

11:55 am

Oh poor Haz I feelyou will need to lie dow andhavea couple of blue and pink pills soon!

11:56 am

I don't know whether to laugh or cry sometimes.

11:56 am

I rest my case :)

11:57 am

you'd like AStoria's local paper. They have a section where they report the day's police activities. Some of the notes are hilarious

11:58 am

I always liked someone reporting "a man walking along the bridge with dirty clothes"

11:58 am

love yr icon Ata, sunrise or set?

11:59 am

Oh and Ata Dr Who 6th Arpil :))

11:59 am

sunrise

11:59 am

I know Iknow!!!!

12:00 pm

!!!! *excited*

12:00 pm

Should I be getting excited as well?

12:01 pm

absolutely

12:01 pm

and also Heston Bluementhals (sp) new series start soon too.

12:02 pm

I watched his series about Little Chef but I don't think I've watched any of the pure cookery stuff.

12:03 pm

Haz you know that lynxxx will be asking questions in a couple of months so you have to take notes.

12:03 pm

Take notes on Dr Who? That would mean watching it, wouldn't it?

12:04 pm

Oh you have missed out then, his ultimate cookeryshows are incredible when he cooks to a theme and invents pretty much magic.

12:04 pm

LOL

12:05 pm

I have to go soon :(

12:06 pm

I'll have to go soon as well. Poor Ata, all alone.

12:06 pm

She will cope. Lovely chatting and TTFN!

12:06 pm

wah

12:06 pm

Toodle-oo FM.

12:07 pm

Heyas kids ..

12:07 pm

Well, there you are, torgone, just in time to keep Ata company.

12:08 pm

How are you?

12:08 pm

I'm good

12:08 pm

Excellent.

12:09 pm

Have you done the grid? World records of speediness have been achieved today.

12:09 pm

Just started

Marvel of marvels - Dr. Who starts here April 6 as well. We used to have to wait a year , and even last year we had a delay of several weeks before Dr. Who made it to Canada - I had to work at ignoring some of the chat!

12:11 pm

It shouldn't take you too long, but it's fun.

12:11 pm

I'm going to take my time

12:13 pm

Well, you can rely on me not to give story lines away on Dr Who, helens.

12:14 pm

haz, what do you think of wooden work surfaces? hygiene-wise?

12:15 pm

Well, I know the experts would say that they're not the best, but frankly, wood's been used for ages and provided it's given a scrub down etc, I can't see that there should be major problems.

Our experts seem to have done a flip - the lignin in wood is antibacterial, so they encourage its use, especially for meats.

12:17 pm

hmmmmm interesting .... husband wants wooden worksurfaces

12:17 pm

My butcher uses wooden chopping blocks and I'm assuming the health and safety people have endorsed it.

12:17 pm

Wooden for all the counter-tops?

12:18 pm

yes ....

12:18 pm

A wooden chopping block is one thing, I don't know what all the surfaces would be like - wouldn't it mark or burn if too hot stuff is put on it?

12:18 pm

Butchers have used wooden chopping blocks for ages with little more than a wire brush for cleaning

12:18 pm

I would think so .... I don't really like the idea

I could scorch - and too close to the sink it will water stain and maybe even split - but if you have a lot of counter space to cover, lots of it could be wood, surely.

12:19 pm

Does he want them for the look or because of the hygiene argument?

12:20 pm

the look ... he didn't even consider hygiene

12:20 pm

I'd ask to see a kitchen five years down the line to see how well the wooden counter tops would stand up to abuse.

12:21 pm

ooooo that's a good idea

12:21 pm

Or even ten years down the line - you don't want to be putting in a new kitchen every five years.

12:21 pm

gd evening everybody

12:22 pm

with wooden countertops my husband wd probably set the whole kitchen on fire!

12:22 pm

apparently his friends have some that are beaten up after 3 years. but apparently, that's *different*

12:22 pm

Hello, ruby!

12:22 pm

hi haz

12:22 pm

mmmm..... leftover frittata......

12:22 pm

when we did the kitchen we put in granite and 11 years later, it's perfect!

12:23 pm

I rest my case, Ata. Google it as well to see what the internet public have to say about them.

12:23 pm

I guess it depends who is cleaning it

I've seen kitchen plans with work surfaces specific to task - chopping blocks, kneading boards (one wood and one stone) and a marble slab for working candy (obviously these people spend a LOT of time in the kitchen), but the articles always mention that you want them easy to lift so they can be replaced without a complete replacement of counter tops.

12:24 pm

I have 8 words left! heart is starting to beat faster....

12:24 pm

I TOLD you you'd get fireworks today, ruby.

12:24 pm

pops back in, Ata, woodn chopping blocks or baords are fien but I would not use them for furnishing a full kitchen.

I regret to say I failed to notice that I had got down to one - It's not as much fun when I'm not prepared for the fireworks!

12:25 pm

It's official, Ata. Your bad influence friends are backing you up.

12:25 pm

Hey ruby, suorry I couldn't help you with yr icon.

12:25 pm

I use acrylic boards for chopping and put them in the dishwasher every night

Now I must let Java restart the computer! See you guys later.

12:25 pm

Bye helens.

12:25 pm

that's OK FM, we both tried!

12:25 pm

Bye helens

12:25 pm

wooohooooo :)

12:26 pm

I keep doing the same thing over and over, following the instructions and nothing happens

12:26 pm

You done Ata?

12:26 pm

woohooo to you, ata!

12:27 pm

She's either done, or she's glad we're backing her up. or she's imitating an owl or she's glad that Dr Who is on again soon.

12:27 pm

both!!!! :D

12:27 pm

hahah

12:27 pm

or all of the above :)

12:27 pm

Both out of four?

12:27 pm

Congrats Ata!!!

its seems there was a assistant producer that chuck jones and mel blanc couldn't stand

1:17 pm

whoo hoo katie

wtg katie !!!

1:18 pm

yay katie!!

1:18 pm

so they were messing around and created a cartoon with elmer fudd using the assist. producers' voice as done by mel blanc with the lisp and all

1:19 pm

they were screening it when the assist. producer walked in and watched and they thought . . . uh oh!

1:20 pm

so at the end they turned to the assist. producer ready to take their licks when he said to them. .. "were did you ever come up wit such a silwy woice!"

1:21 pm

and the rest, as they say, was history

1:22 pm

That's vewy funny ..

1:22 pm

chuck jones (the cartoon director) is screamingly funny to listen to

1:26 pm

okay 9 left so i guess i will go pretend to work again

1:26 pm

amazing,run msconfig,get rid of a bunch of useless startup crap and you have a computer that works;))

1:27 pm

wtg crossy! you think you could come fix my network so i don't have to reboot every morning?

1:28 pm

poor jmc;((

1:29 pm

also tuneup utilities - get the free demo - it's amazing

1:29 pm

C cleaner is my fave

1:29 pm

free and easy to use and covers the registry as well

1:29 pm

tuneup utilities? but how do you know what to ax?

1:29 pm

it will list them jmc..it will not toss anything critical

1:30 pm

c cleaner..trust crossy

1:30 pm

c cleaner? but I am guessing this will not fix my network problem

1:30 pm

no jmc lol

1:31 pm

it wouldn't be such a pain except it means that I can't get into my computer remotely so I have to actually show up to work! *outraged look*

1:31 pm

it does it for you ... asks you, of course, and explains what can be removed

1:31 pm

tuneup is the dog's ********* lol

1:31 pm

jmc,when was the last time you created a new network connection?

1:31 pm

it really is a problem for me when i travel and my staff doesn't work 24/7 like me

1:31 pm

it cleaned up over 1gb from my c drive!

1:32 pm

new from my computer? or new from the server?

1:32 pm

c cleaner...trust crossy..c cleaner

1:33 pm

sorry jmc,i do not play overmuch with servers;(

1:33 pm

tuneup utilities .... trust meeeee!

1:33 pm

1:33 pm

1:33 pm

1:34 pm

1:34 pm

is there someone in babble land who knows servers?

1:34 pm

and there is a free version of ad-aware for pop ups etc

1:35 pm

btw crossy i am still struggling with getting my library books to load on my reader *sigh*

1:35 pm

1:35 pm

poor jmc:(

1:36 pm

*weeps softly into my keyboard*

1:36 pm

1:37 pm

1:37 pm

1:38 pm

1:46 pm

Guess my fireworks were so powerful they killed chog

1:58 pm

crossy rubs at firework scorch marks from mins display:)

2:27 pm

*pops in quickly* if PinnyPoppins pops in, could someone tell her to check her email, please! Thank you!

2:35 pm

Hi Atalante!I'll try to remember. Chog's very quiet so your message may still even show if she pops in later.

2:37 pm

that's true :)

2:56 pm

she saw my email, so all's ok :)

2:58 pm

Evening all. It's quiet!

2:58 pm

Good, because I probably wouldn't have remembered.

2:58 pm

isn't it!

2:58 pm

Hi Nancy Boy! How are you? Welcome to the chat log!

2:59 pm

Or I should say welcome to a SILENT chat log Nancy.

2:59 pm

Hi, Minver, and thanks for the welcome ;) I'm unused to this, Ata. Whenever there's less than 100 words it's so silent!

3:00 pm

Accidentally got my fireworks, kinda snuck up on me.

3:00 pm

there needs to be a second grid on days like this

3:01 pm

nice one Minver :) now can I be bothered to search for mine, or shall I just pull the kitty onto my lap and make Leo entertain me?

3:01 pm

I agree Atalante!

3:02 pm

kitty time

3:02 pm

It's very doable in a had an hour Nancy Boy.Go for it!

3:02 pm

*half hour

3:03 pm

I've lost my way though Minver. I usually come here just for the chat!

3:04 pm

Nancy Boy,If you came here just for the chat,I'd say you would get more out of your kitty. LOL!

3:04 pm

LOL! She does have a very opinionated miaow. Guess I'll go play with her then! later, all :)

3:05 pm

lol enjoy the kitty chat!

4:37 pm

this has really been quiet for over an hour?

4:38 pm

yes it has. evrybody gone to sleep?

4:38 pm

Hi feather

4:38 pm

4:39 pm

4:39 pm

Hello folks. I've just been given the latest church quiz sheet. 100 questions to raise money for Christian Aid. 100 questions that the quiz master's son has come up with again after not doing much research on the internet, meaning that he takes the first answer he sees as gospel, meaning that most of it is wrong. *sigh*

Well, okay.

11:17 pm

so, while we have a moment...what's your strategy on doing a grid?

11:18 pm

At first I don't even look at the tile stats - I just type what I see as quickly as I can find them

11:18 pm

I do that, too...

11:19 pm

...you must also be an extremely quick typist.

11:19 pm

then when I start to slow down a bit, I see if there are any tiles with only a few words, and if so I try to clear those so I don't worry about starting on those letters any further (especially if the tiles are vowels, because lead vowel words tend to be slightly easier for me)

11:19 pm

makes sense

11:20 pm

I guess from then on it varies on how difficult it's been so far

11:20 pm

usually I'll switch to a tile with a lot of words still missing, hoping I'll find a good combo and clear a bunch

11:21 pm

then it might be time to pull up lickety or morewords to finish things off

11:21 pm

I like it when words roll into a bunch...makes my monkeys happier

11:22 pm

I like it when finishing a combo finishes the tile as well, instead of leaving just one word missing (frustrating)

11:22 pm

interestingly enough, I used to use Morewords, but haven't in a long time. Once I reach my "goals," Lickety and my monkey crew become my best friends. :)

11:23 pm

"one word left" on a tile tends to happen a lot - often I'll be in a situation like 10 words remaining on 8 or 9 different tiles

11:23 pm

have yet to figure out how to use a2z as an aid

11:49 pm

Hi gang

11:50 pm

hey jilli....nice to see you again!

11:50 pm

hi jili

11:50 pm

good to be back, pini -- I missed you all!

11:50 pm

Is that you, peri?

11:51 pm

yes it is, jili

11:51 pm

pretty lady, peri !

11:51 pm

just what I expected

11:51 pm

awesome, peri...always nice to "meet" players! :)

11:51 pm

Has anyone ever heard of cocoa mulch?

11:51 pm

thank you, jilli

11:52 pm

not me, ormal

11:52 pm

no Ormal

11:52 pm

Not I, ormal

11:52 pm

I wonder if that could be an icon theme: self-pic?

11:53 pm

It wouldn't be coco mulch? From coconuts?

11:53 pm

not sure, but I think it was, pini, but we could certainly to it again

11:53 pm

hmm, I don't feel so left out now. TY! I got an email saying people's dogs are eating cocoa mulch and dying from it. I had never heard of it.

11:53 pm

would be fun, peri!

11:53 pm

(didn't realize I'd miss it before)

11:53 pm

I think we should do it again -- great idea -- send it to sprite!

11:53 pm

it would PIni

11:54 pm

hi pini,peri,jilli,ormal!

11:54 pm

well, if you figure out what it is, ormal, let me know so I can keep my dog from chowing down ;)

11:54 pm

oh well, chocolate (cocoa) is very bad for dogs

11:54 pm

hi robbie

11:54 pm

hi robbie

11:54 pm

I'm not so sure Koda got the memo on that, jilli...

11:55 pm

waiting for the flip!

11:55 pm

but then there's coca too...

11:55 pm

It's mulch made from the cocoa plant (chocolate contains a chemical that is toxic to dogs and cats), and apparently has a HIGH toxin content...

11:55 pm

I hope the next grid is kind -- I'm pooped

11:55 pm

I hope it's kind of bigger.

11:55 pm

hello

11:55 pm

me too jilli!

11:56 pm

lol jilli

11:56 pm

Koda was particularly fond of my german chocolate brownie...

11:56 pm

...I missed it terribly!

11:56 pm

hi GE

11:56 pm

hi GE

11:56 pm

I want a bigger grid too

11:56 pm

hi grem

11:56 pm

I used to collect those "Mr." books as a kid, GE

11:57 pm

rarely here for the flip. hope its a good one

11:57 pm

well, bigger than this 61 one, although it was a nice easy return for me

11:57 pm

hi robbie, sorry just saw ya check in...

11:57 pm

my favorite was mr tickle

11:57 pm

11:57 pm

11:57 pm

11:57 pm

hi robbie and jilli

11:57 pm

11:58 pm

thanks for the hi ormal;-)

11:58 pm

11:58 pm

138 is much better than 61!
