12:34 am

12:34 am

12:35 am

The one that the Enterprise waddles aboot like when the warp drive goes on the fritz? That sc?

12:36 am

it is in the 70's here...it is raining:-(

12:36 am

the snow reflects enough that that makes sense to me for exposed skin

12:36 am

I'm so tired -- tossed and turned all night -- not seeing words right.

12:36 am

the guys were shirtless..lol

12:37 am

bad dreams jilli?

12:37 am

i popped out of bed after 4h last night myself. Hoping for better sleep tonight, and for you also, jilli

12:38 am

no, west, just couldn't sleep. Not usual for me.

12:38 am

me also..lol I'm going to give sleeping a try..so bye all..I just wanted to say hello to everyone,and look at the new grid

12:39 am

I guess I was still playing bridge or something.

Once in a while the snow pack near here is so deep that in June there are still a few places you can ski - bright sun, shorts and tee-shirts!

12:39 am

night robbie.

yes I am missing the ca5 -- related to the 4?

12:42 am

Happy babbling and good night/day to all yall! {poof}

12:43 am

nope - it's an odd word

I once did a really dumb fall, straight forward, on a slope with acrust on the snow. Stuck my arms right down into it, with my poles still in my hands, so I couldn't move - had to wait for everybody else to climb back up and dig me out. I had sunburn on the backs of my legs and forstbitten fingers!

12:43 am

My 16yos reported that Frabjous Day was a holiday of some sort in the recent Alice in Wonderland movie

1:02 am

a 4's: ab, al x4, -- missing?

1:02 am

come to my arms, my beamish boy!

1:02 am

and the Mad Hatter had a wonderful dance to go with it

1:02 am

that's great doug I'd like to see it

1:02 am

It seemed to be, but it wasn't totally clear whether it was an annual day or just that one particular day prophesied in advance.

1:02 am

I showed him an attempt at translating the Jabberwock poem into French. He was most amused

1:03 am

I am NOT going to see the latest distortion of Alice in Wonderland

1:03 am

I think it was prophesied...and see it in 3-D if you can

1:03 am

I do like Johnny Depp though

1:03 am

I saw it in 3-D IMAX

1:03 am

The translator assumed that "brillig" was a weather condition of some sort, and thus translated it "Il brilgue..."

1:04 am

IMAX would be even better, as long as you don't mind that sort of thing

1:04 am

Il is not French

1:05 am

I read some of the new dialogue for the mad tea party and it was so unsuitably modern American.

1:05 am

phantom wh5ever

1:05 am

As in capital I, lower case l, like "Il pleut," "Il neige," etc.

1:06 am

it was a fun movie to watch

1:06 am

oh, I see, doug

1:06 am

I'm half alseep, sorry

1:06 am

Whether it was good or not, it certainly sold a lot of tickets.

1:07 am

My son was amused by the movie, but I read mixed reviews

1:08 am

I'm kind of in the middle.

1:08 am

10 left -- can't see any more just now -- think a cookie would help?

1:09 am

it is late and must bid all of you goodnight!

1:09 am

1:10 am

wtg doug

1:10 am

oh, you said you found it

1:10 am

Where did they "translate" the Jabberwocky?? Hollywood??

1:10 am

wtg doug that was my last bt too

1:11 am

it's just a movie and should go into thinking just that, then it becomes a good movie, not a retelling of a story and they don't try to pretend that either

1:12 am

definitely - it's explicitly a sequel to the original

1:12 am

Erda, I saw it many years ago in a book by Douglas Hofsteder

1:13 am

I just saw it in -- well, words...

1:13 am

just my opinion, I get kind of touchy when people complain about movies when they expect it to be exactly like their imaginations and unfortunately it will never happen

1:13 am

MizHoffle, my dislike is when people get angry when movies/books are made or remade - it doesn't ruin the original, and no one forces anyone to watch!

1:14 am

If I go in with moderate expectations or knowing that it won't be exact and am okay with that

1:14 am

Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave.

1:14 am

and what gremlinn said

1:14 am

Well, I said I was not going to see it, because I prefer reading the original.

1:14 am

to each their own

1:15 am

oh doug, that's merveilleux!

1:15 am

and I am not meaning any disrespect to anyone

1:16 am

Yeah - what I said I dislike is not what jilli said by any means.

1:16 am

is Jilli being touchy again?

1:16 am

Herre's Frank L. Warrin's French translation http://tinyurl.com/yfpxwb3

1:17 am

no, ruru!

1:17 am

oh.. good.. I heard your internet went down again

1:18 am

yes, for a few hours last night -- I was aghast, but it did come on again at about midnight

1:19 am

is it due to storms or something like that jilli?

1:19 am

84 down -- leaving the rest for tomorrow -- would like to do this listless, but too tired right now.

1:19 am

Good night everyone :)

1:19 am

well done nan the final 10 will be a snap

1:19 am

Please make a note that Frank L. Warrin is kinda hard to find on Google, because Frank Warren is the founder of Post Secret, and Google thought I was looking for Frank Warren

1:21 am

7 now :)

1:21 am

good !!

1:22 am

no storms, ruru -- the first was because of an IP address conflict after the telephone company switched to a fster broadband, or something. No idea what caused last night

1:22 am

doug -- I've emailed that link to my son

1:23 am

are you getting rain tonight jill? -- or did the system move south?

1:25 am

My son wants to be a Chinese/English interpretor/translator when older, so just thinking about translating that poem was a mind-expanding experience for him.

1:25 am

sprinkles tonight -- we're supposed to get rain tomorrow

1:26 am

smart son, doug!

1:26 am

I'm very upset with the v in the grid for not having an e next to it

1:26 am

*poof*

1:26 am

there are several letters in the wrong place

1:29 am

niht, nan

1:29 am

*night

1:29 am

(tired -- typo time)

1:34 am

terrific lag here

1:36 am

Ooh, ooh, I'm past halfway with nbt. Does that mean I can go to the list?

1:37 am

certainly, doug -- I'm in the same place!

1:38 am

phantom malleable

1:38 am

nice one, doug

1:48 am

good morning

1:48 am

Good morning ruby

1:49 am

hello ruby

1:49 am

hi ruby

1:49 am

hello douglas, hiya west!

1:49 am

hello jilli

1:49 am

Spring is taking over and it's beautiful, more so every day!

1:50 am

so happy to hear that ruby you'll need it for this mean and nasty grid

1:50 am

our daff finally showed up

1:50 am

I like winter.

1:51 am

And I love rain.

1:51 am

There is a Ford factory near to where I live. I'm planting morning glories near their northern fence

1:51 am

ah grem you live in CA what's winter about that?

1:51 am

I have to go to bed -- bleary-eyed. Goodnight/morning all And *poof*

1:51 am

how nice of you doug

1:51 am

It means not having to sweat for a few months.

1:51 am

good jilli no tossing and turning okay?

1:52 am

we have daffs and 48 (yes, I counted) drawf salmon tulips and the others (many many in shades of pink and rose have formed buds. Also, the Japanese quince...aaaaah!

1:52 am

boy did we have rain last week

1:52 am

Hope not, west.

1:53 am

I hereby declare myself confused regarding the ab6

1:53 am

why is there no e near the v?

1:54 am

that must be the one joshua said was like removing fur from a little animal

1:54 am

and I can't get it either

1:54 am

oh no it was a be

1:55 am

you mean al6, Doug? There is no ab6

1:55 am

ruby we have all kinds of bulb flowers springing up but so far only the leaves are showing except for the crocuses and daffodils

1:56 am

trouble is once they bloom they don't stay for very long

1:56 am

Oh, it would seem Lickety's clues are for yesterday's grid. That would explain.

1:56 am

unfortunately, our daffs are where the dogs play and many are squshed. Once the daffs are gone, the true garden will start to take shape - no more yellow or orange, just shades of pink, rose, purple, blue, red and salmon with a little white.

1:57 am

also the "bear" garlic is coming up on the dogs' graves

1:57 am

your garden is most beautiful

1:57 am

if patterns continue, Lickety will likely announce clues in 6 minutes - or you could see my profile for the not quite so handy version

1:58 am

I really appreciate your clues grem even if you don't have little boxes

1:58 am

you have saved my you know what many a day

1:59 am

hehe

1:59 am

Daffs are appearing in Minnesota. Winter was unceremoniously kicked to the curb in March, very unMinnesoty

2:01 am

and it's staying away?

2:01 am

Tulips are just starting to show their flowers

2:01 am

what an odd grid, the first 20 words were easy enough, but I'll never get to half!

2:02 am

sorry about that, must have been typing at the hiccup! do I go to the PB?

2:02 am

for being annoying?

2:04 am

I do have some ice, but there is black ice in the grid?

2:04 am

no, when I lived in northern NY state, we had black ice until April or even May, it was nasty!

2:05 am

Ice of any kind has been gone for quite a while here

2:09 am

here the winter is OK but the spring is very long and glorious!

2:12 am

almost half!!

2:14 am

Bleah is a perfectly good word!

2:15 am

and describes the grid!

2:15 am

what happens on the hour, so I won't make that mistake again (for which I am very embarrassed)?

2:18 am

I think that's a one-time thing at 8:00 GMT

2:18 am

what a mess I made *blushing*

2:19 am

How many words today please

2:19 am

do you have the 7?

2:19 am

94 gran

2:20 am

Thanks

2:22 am

see you later1

2:24 am

Out of gas...good night all...

2:46 am

any clues needed?

3:24 am

good morning friends. insomnia and babbling! the perfect combo!

3:27 am

Good morning Trif

3:27 am

hey there lynxxx!

3:28 am

you wouldn't happen to know what time it is in Perth, please?

3:28 am

just a sec

3:30 am

24TimeZones says it is 4.30pm

3:30 am

thank you very much!

3:36 am

Good morning/evening/unreasonable hor of the day, all.

3:36 am

morning Haz

3:37 am

We seem to be scarcely populated at the minute.

3:38 am

hi haz, i'm lurking in the background, day off today

3:39 am

We have just finished day light savings so not sure who is up, when or how yet

3:39 am

Hello mummy, it's typical, a day off and you get a grid this size.

3:39 am

hi Mummy

3:39 am

hello, I'm back

3:39 am

hy lynxx and haz and mummy

3:40 am

Hello, ruby.

3:40 am

hi Ruby

3:40 am

it's good that it's small otherwise I'd be here all day and achieve nothing else

3:40 am

hi ruby

3:40 am

hello trif

3:41 am

That's a sensible way of looking at it. It's the best user up of time that I know.

3:41 am

I hope we get a little rain, then I have an excuse not to do any gardening AND it will be easier to pull weeds after!

3:41 am

interesting phantom: halvah!

3:42 am

hubby is upstairs trying to fix my friends computer hich died on her yesterday, i'd better go and get showered as I have hit the wall on the grid now

3:43 am

Enjoy the rest of the day, mummy.

3:43 am

oh - a region in Victorian country - also a brushwood - ma6.21 (like a guy with a helping of double letters)

3:43 am

bye mummy, btw, do you have rain?

3:44 am

Thanks, lynxxx.

3:44 am

and a very timely phantom too Ruby

3:44 am

I have reached my daily half way target may come back for the other 44 later, catch you al then, bye for now, Ruby we had torrential rain in the nigh tbut it is dry now.

3:44 am

why, besides the fact I'd like some?

3:45 am

We need a little rain every day for my nascent moss to survive. Otherwise I stand out there like a fool spritzing it

3:46 am

sorry, misread you Ruby - read matzah

3:46 am

hahah

3:46 am

they call Matzah here French flat bread, lol

3:47 am

and they call Passover Jewish Easter

3:48 am

how odd

3:48 am

definitely odd country!

3:49 am

why isn't seacow a word?

3:50 am

I think it's more likely that they call Easter, Christian passover. The name they use is Paque, which I reckon comes from paschal lamb, more a passover concept than Easter.

3:50 am

is there such a thing?

3:50 am

you're probably right, haz, but they don't see it that way and our local restaurant made goat! ????

3:51 am

Paque, with a hat over the a indicating that an s is missing - don't have the French accents!

3:52 am

I don't have them either and have an English keyboard, to boot

3:52 am

We visited friends in France last year and I was thoroughly confused with the different layout of the French keyboard.

3:52 am

so what looks like a pound sign is really a # lurking underneath

3:53 am

my husband has a French keyboard and the a's and q's are reversed and the m is in the wrong place and you have to shift to use the period. I type very fast on mine, hardly type at all on his

4:07 am

be

4:08 am

have

4:08 am

no have lol

4:09 am

anybody have the 7?

4:09 am

and you don't behave either

4:09 am

me!

4:09 am

It's fe7 - a plural.

4:10 am

good phantom

4:10 am

ty haz, my monkeys found it right away

4:10 am

You're welcome.

4:11 am

isn't malvah (or something close) the Latin word for hollyhocks?

4:13 am

Malvaceae or something like that, from the mallow family.

4:13 am

According to google...

4:13 am

thank you, I thought it was close

4:14 am

here it's called rose tremiere and I had theym for two years, gorgeous double dark red ones and they disappeared!

4:14 am

what I've learned with this garden is that perennials are not necessarily perennial!

4:15 am

Perennial in theory and in the right place, I suppose.

4:16 am

I see simple ones, usually white, growing like weeds. Perhaps these were too inbred!

4:17 am

Perhaps.

4:17 am

Time for a break, maybe see you later on. Bye for now.

4:17 am

bye haz

4:18 am

bye Haz, have a good day

4:18 am

I'll bet haz has a great garden!

4:19 am

lynxx, do you have any fruit trees, particularly "nelliekelley"?

4:22 am

no fruit tree - but I have a Nelliekelly passionfruit - they are a vine and scramble about 4 metres wide. You have to cut them back by about a third each year. Only fruit well for 3/4 years

4:23 am

I ask because that's my real name (sort of) or at least official nickname and an Australian friend told me about them. It's too funny. Are they any good; I've never eaten a passion fruit; here they're small and black and round, in the exotic fruit market

4:25 am

They are small black and round usually. Delicious on the inside though...quite tart which makes them great with sweet things...like fruit salad or with cream

4:26 am

OK, I'll stop being intimidated and will try one next Monday and let you know

4:28 am

time for husband's Campari. See you later

4:28 am

only eat the inside of course! cut in half with sharp knife but quickly straighten them up or you will lose the pulp...you eat the pulp and the seeds

4:28 am

bye

4:37 am

morning all

4:38 am

Hello Sprite - nice to see you!

4:38 am

and vice versa :)

4:43 am

Afraid I'm going to have to love and leave you. Keep well Spritley! see you again soon I hope

4:43 am

love you right back! Enjoy your evening.

4:54 am

sprite, can you recommend a person or company that's good at plastering? my sister-in-law needs to find one.

4:54 am

plastering? Like in walls?

4:54 am

yep

4:55 am

where does she live?

4:55 am

amsterdam

4:56 am

if you don't happen to know off the top of your head someone who does a good job etc, it's fine, she can just use the phone book like everyone else ;)

4:56 am

I don't know any personally. I think best she can do is check with locals, and check out offers at http://www.stukadoor.nl/

4:57 am

thanks, i've just sent her the url

4:58 am

yvw

5:16 am

fireflies. Bye all.

5:26 am

I am stuck. Can anyone clue me the 7?

sounds like a lot of men

it's a plural

5:28 am

TY!

yw

5:32 am

I have 3 left- a v, an a, and a h- 4, 5 and 6 letters- any ideas?

5:32 am

Good morning/day Babble buddies!

Good morning Babblers :)

5:35 am

Hi Nanette

Jaeleigh all v's are 4 letters

5:35 am

How is your husband doing?

va4 x 3 and vo4

5:36 am

Ok, it's a va 4

Scrabbs I am not sure how to answer that. Lately he has shown a lot of confusion. Physically he is gaining very slowly

5:38 am

got the va- the "a" I am missing is from the bottom a and is a 5 or 6

5:38 am

Being sick, bedridden can cause confusion. Was he confused prior to this setback?

somewhat at times but not like he has been lately.

5:39 am

It could be from a medication, underhydration, depression.

5:39 am

got that one- last one!!! is the bottom H and is a 6 letter word- help!

there is an ab5 an al5 and 6 combo

5:40 am

I need that vo4 now.

lattin pl of the he5/14

Scrabbs it sounds like your enemies

5:41 am

Thanks, Nan! Fireworks....

wtg Jael

5:41 am

TY, Nan. It seems like I tried every combo, but I missed that.

5:41 am

vo 4- plural the vo itself

5:41 am

Yippee Jae!

5:42 am

al 5/10 please

5:43 am

sounds like small street bewteen city buildings

gran, a+ double cons. double vowel

5:43 am

Why didn't I see that!

am missing a w5 off the top w

5:46 am

w5- big fish ala Jonah- or wh*** is that?

7:49 am

7:49 am

Hi NB, isn't it 2PM in London?

Oooh they have the tapir on the tv this am.....a frequent word in the grids!!!

7:50 am

morning, Mr Bob

7:50 am

yikes supposed to go up to 90 degrees F today

hi bob and peri

7:50 am

Hi Peri and Bob.

7:50 am

You know it, Mom ;) boring, though, sadly! - I got placed in the VIP lounge so less people to talk to

7:50 am

hi peri

Yaaay, I love heat. By July I might say a different story.

7:50 am

85 degrees expected here today in NH

7:51 am

It is, Hego, but I only got home at 7 ;)

we are supposed to get onely to 84...but its 58 now and very chilly.

7:51 am

God love ya, boy.

7:51 am

They have a VIP lounge in the pub?

we lost our 70s mom, back to 50 and rainy (in other words Spring)

7:51 am

we are up to a whopping 46 right now

7:52 am

73 here in NJ

bleah IS a real word....

7:52 am

it's kind of a club, Mom ;) for half the week, I work at a pub in the daytime...for the other half, I do nights at a club! astoundingly different

7:52 am

LOL Red

7:53 am

youth

7:53 am

lol...thanks Hego ;)

7:53 am

yw :-)

7:54 am

though, on that note, I need some advice! Is there a proper way to refuse tips?

7:54 am

Probably not.

7:54 am

Do you want to?

7:55 am

gasp - refuse tips?

The only way I have ever been able to do that is to tell the person, I'm not able to receive tips...

7:55 am

right

7:55 am

how about a big smile and say no, it's my pleasure!

7:55 am

Hiya Dorens

hello Dorens.

7:56 am

Well generally Hego, it's fine ;) since we are two struggling young men and all...but I got tipped with a small bag of 'something'. And I don't really know what to do with that.

7:56 am

I worked for company that would not allow any type of gratuity so we had to advise we were not able to accept anything but certanily appreciate the offer.

7:56 am

hi hego. sitting at newark airport trying to finish this fiendish little thing in a half hour. not happening. thirty and the same wall annie found

7:56 am

or we could lose our job

7:56 am

That's another story.

7:56 am

people understood

Nancy, if it isnt Money, I'd just give it back and say, I just cant accept this, thanks anyway.

7:57 am

That you can refuse. Or just discard.

7:57 am

hi red, nancy, mom et al

7:57 am

that's so professional, Mom!

7:57 am

right red

7:57 am

morning dorens

7:57 am

Where you going Dorens?

7:57 am

hi dorens, have a great time...down to 26 now and the wall is looming

7:58 am

have to run now.... see you later (mexico). hasta la vista

35 here...

7:58 am

I should have done, Red, but I was too busy trying to rearrange my face from a wide-open mouth to a professional smile ;)

7:58 am

Bye Dorens!

7:58 am

I guess it is - be careful Nancy

34 here

7:58 am

wow Dorens - have a great trip

throw it out Nancy. I would agree that would be rather suprising.

bye Dorens. will you babble in mexico?

7:59 am

NB, you have an interesting life.

7:59 am

since I arrived in London, Hego, it's increasingly baffling. They're probably yankin' my chain and it's flour.

8:00 am

hello...NB, not sure if this bag of 'something' was an illeagle substance...but even accepting as a gift could land you in hot water.

8:00 am

I've been wondering what the something was....did they think you had glaucoma?

8:00 am

oh......flour? that would be a bit unsettling!

8:00 am

think nose jm

8:01 am

flush it Nancy

8:01 am

My problem exactly, Phae. I'm not completely ANTI drugs, they have their place, but I'm fairly sure it's heroin, which I wouldn't go near

8:01 am

worse even. get rid of it.

8:01 am

i would flush it......you never know what has been added or substituted.

8:02 am

good idea to flush it. I was afraid of awkward questions if I just binned it. Right! Down it goes.

8:02 am

got to run for now - be back in a while to finish up

8:02 am

see you, Mom :)

8:02 am

Bye mnh

phew, my monkeys need to take a shower. bbl as it is my day off!!

8:03 am

good choice Nancy

8:03 am

Just say...'Thanks, that's not my choice of pleasure'. Don't put that in the water system. Does London do water treatment to resupply?

8:03 am

bye GE

8:04 am

*a moment of silence* as NB buries a bag at sea

8:04 am

LOL Jmitch!

8:05 am

Baa ba baah

8:05 am

That was taps

8:05 am

*salutes* OK back to work!

8:05 am

what a lovely ceremony ;)

8:06 am

:-D

8:09 am

tomorrow I'll ask my next work-related question...how to break up a fight ;)

8:09 am

Duck!

8:09 am

Hide!

8:10 am

Rent "Road House" and do nothing that's depicted in that movie!

ok this grid is starting to give me Issues.

8:12 am

me too, and I'm not even far in! wretched

8:12 am

I'm starting to have feelings of dread.

32 left.

8:12 am

17 left here

Annie! you got over the wall quickly!

8:13 am

Throw a glass of water in both of their faces!

8:13 am

red, it was a struggle, I must tell you

8:13 am

Great little climber that Annie.

8:13 am

ah phae, thanks I needed that

8:14 am

LOL, hego

I think Phaeton is still on the how to break up a fight question...

8:14 am

NB- years ago learned to disarm and deflate BEFORE it becomes a fight

8:14 am

that might work.

8:14 am

red, I think youre right

8:15 am

Hate o words!

8:15 am

help with the top 'O'?

8:16 am

middle o

8:16 am

8:17 am

ty Annie

8:18 am

Enough of this! I'm addicted. I am going to buy a flatscreen TV today. A friend recommended Samsung. Anyone here know about TV's?

8:18 am

sorry, went for a cuppa. Phae, I would, but some of these people spend so long on their hair...it's not really fair ;)

8:18 am

I have an LG. All the rage.

I know nothing about TV's I have a 8 yr old tv.

8:19 am

Actually I have a Samsung too.

8:19 am

NB...lmao!

8:19 am

hego, Do you like the Samsung?

8:19 am

Samsung is good and so is Toshiba, Panasonic

8:19 am

Love the LG, but am not an expert Annie.

8:19 am

Breakfast!!...bbl

8:19 am

Writing this down.

8:19 am

later, phae

8:20 am

Annie my Samsung is a few years old, so not up to date, but works great.

8:20 am

a flat screen? we just about...we have A screen.

8:20 am

Bye Phae

8:20 am

hego, is your Samsung a flatscreen?

8:21 am

Yes Annie

8:21 am

LED display, not plasma

8:21 am

Nancy, have we dragged you away from the bar fight talking about TV's?

8:22 am

Everyone told me not to get plasma.

8:22 am

Thanks for the advice hego..appreciate it

8:22 am

good morning dear babble friends - haven't seen you for a long time -

8:22 am

My stepson is up on electronics, the little genius.

8:22 am

Hi jbv!

8:23 am

well I'm a little scared of technology, Annie ;) as long as it works(ish) I tend to leave it alone. but then I live in a flat where everything is broken, breaking or about to break ;)

8:23 am

Oh thanks, hego

8:23 am

Ah, the salad days.

8:24 am

Happy sopping Annie.

8:24 am

Uh, shopping

8:25 am

Nancy, I am also terrified of electronics.

8:26 am

I'm getting better at it.

8:26 am

I just feel like they're all going to go off in my face. And they're too noisy. Our internet box thing has been growling at us recently

8:27 am

internet box thing?

8:27 am

yeah, you know, the box that the internet comes out of. There is a proper name for it. Hub?

8:27 am

Router?

8:27 am

Internet box thing.

8:28 am

okay

8:28 am

this is why I don't touch 'em ;)

8:28 am

I don't know either, but it could be your modem

8:28 am

see you later, bye dear babblers

8:29 am

I do know they won't blow up. lol

8:29 am

Bye Annie

8:29 am

Lol! maybe. But it's very technical looking, very smooth and aerodynamic, and it has lights on. It's very tribal. Strange engravings on it, "connection", "broadband"...

8:30 am

That's the modem, alright.

8:30 am

Annie, are you still here?

8:30 am

Have a great day everyone

8:58 am

bye mom

Oh I am back. I have just put in a transfer request to go back to my old hospital, but in a different job. Wonder what will become of that. :(

8:59 am

((((Red)))) sorry that this job isn't what you had hoped for

8:59 am

hi Babblers.. red, you don't mean in N.C. do you?

Well, it has improved slightly, but they have posted an infection control position, which would be a really good career move.

No, no I love Florida.

9:00 am

oh! Infection Control can be a lot of hard work; but a great change!

I was all set to take the first infection control couse on my own, but whoa, it costs 800.00!

I have always thought it was a really cool way to imapct a lot of people, both health care workers and patients...

9:02 am

I know an IF nurse in Hawaii who really loves her job and has done some neat stuff with the H1N1 prep

I don't know though if I can manage that one, maybe drop by the hospital today after my appointment and work some connections.

fireworks

It's a lot more than just wash your hands....

9:02 am

Inf. Control nurse, not sure what I typed the 1st time

congrats VolleyMom!!!! howa re you?

9:03 am

YAY, Volley! WTG!!!!

ty

9:03 am

wtg, Dee, congrats!!!

9:03 am

wtg Dee

phone, so off for the day! hugs to all have a great day / eve poofing with hugs

I hate to say it Nef, but I do see it as a job I could do "forever" the ED is sooo labor intensive.

9:06 am

mmm,a toasted jumbo cheese bagel with vegetable cream cheese and a nice hot cuppa;)))) morning all;)

9:06 am

yumm, hi crossy!

hi Cross. You are making me double hungry!

9:07 am

lol

9:08 am

fireworks

9:09 am

I agree that the ED is labor intensive, red. But then again, any hospital staff nurse position is very labor intensive. With the number of overweight patients there are, I don't think there is a light staff nurse job in hospitals these days

9:10 am

wahoo for flosey, congrats!!!

9:10 am

YAY, flosey!!!! WTG!!!!

9:10 am

i like my nurses able to bench press 240 lol

9:10 am

any clues wanted before I relax with a cup of coffee

9:10 am

yaa for flo

9:11 am

good morning

9:11 am

thanks Aloy, Nef, Crossy

9:11 am

howdy harp

9:12 am

good morning jane

9:12 am

morning, harp

9:12 am

guess not, I'll be off then, back at flip

9:13 am

crossy, I used to handle 250-300 # patients all by myself every day in ICU. We'd get them up and out of bed at least once or twice a shift after heart surgery (often while intubated) and rarely had extra help to do that

9:13 am

hagd, flosey!

9:13 am

bye flosey. Hi harp

9:13 am

ohh your a strong one;))

9:14 am

how many letters in the top o please?

9:14 am

4 harp

9:16 am

crossy the difference between the ED pts. red works with and the pts. I used to work with is the anxiety and fear (which causes them to lash out at the nurses) in the ED

oh yes, I agree, I would never though consider working on a floor anymore, and I rather wasn't the ICU sort...

9:19 am

i have indeed heard of this in nursing from my sister in law and i am not making light of what must be a very hard job indeed

but...We will see.

9:20 am

Time to go.. Happy Babbling everyone, see you next grid.. byee

9:20 am

bye, Aloy, hagd

9:20 am

i live life light hearted now and am not trying to rub anyone the wrong way

you arent rubbing anyone the wrong way cross, at least not me.

I am venting a bit, and probably will remin in the ED forever, soooo.

9:21 am

good stuff,can we talk about bacon now? lol

9:22 am

you weren't crossy. I wasn't offended. But I do think people don't realize what nursing is because we don't ever tell what we do. I hate when people think nurses are like what they see on TV

9:22 am

or seamed stockings?

9:22 am

i know,my s-i-l worked in trauma for 15 years

9:22 am

bacon!

9:22 am

burnt her out

9:23 am

ok someone said bacon

9:24 am

Good morning, my little chickadees.

9:24 am

yesterday was terrible,i must of been in the pb 50 times or so

9:24 am

hi all

9:24 am

what is the ED?

9:24 am

I've been an RN for 41 years now, 34 in ICU. Loved it; but OTJ foot injury killed that career.

9:24 am

LOL, crossy

That is amazng nef. I've been doing this only ten years, definitely time for a change.

9:24 am

I bet that was hard for you.

9:25 am

*patiently waits to be noticed*

9:25 am

howdy jmc

9:26 am

hi crossy

9:26 am

did you get fw last night red?

9:26 am

I totally loved it, red. I cared for 1 or 2 patients at a time; very intense; but I could focus on the person (while keeping tabs on the machines) The person was always first to me. Made it easy to do

9:27 am

hi jmc. Sorry. Reminiscing..... :-/

9:27 am

lol

9:27 am

could someone get me started on the lower H?

9:27 am

and again: what is ED?

9:28 am

rhymes with the little bugs that make you sick harp

9:28 am

emergency department

9:28 am

ty cw is that the same as ER?

9:28 am

yes

9:29 am

Er is old school jmc.

9:29 am

ah well i guess i just need to get up to date

9:29 am

*takes off corset and button hook shoes*

9:30 am

hics?

9:30 am

sorry, phone rang and I hit enter by mistake. the ER is now many rooms, so it's graduated to the ED

9:30 am

the best person in a medical position is one that can can be in the trenches for a long time and still not treat patients like breathing pieces of meat.i find cancer professionals the best and walk in clinics the worst.but here they are all grossly over worked and under staffed so i just smile and squeeze my fist and get that vein popping;0

9:30 am

there are viruses and ****s

9:31 am

harp lower H is 4 letters, h 4/6

9:31 am

thanks

9:31 am

okay in a dictionary that accepts oohs and aahs you would think would accept ohos

9:32 am

and hohos!

9:32 am

and ahas!

9:32 am

yaa for ho ho,s

9:32 am

indeed harp *indignant look*

9:33 am

what no ahas either?!?!

9:33 am

Phantom: Waffle.

9:33 am

is not cale a type of leafy vegetable or edible sea weed?

9:33 am

kale

9:33 am

oh

9:33 am

I was really tough with new orientees if they didn't recognise the patient first when they entered a room. If they went to the machines first, I'd get after them

9:34 am

asnd dont refer to them as bed # 53 lol

9:34 am

Hi all....clue for the 7 please?

9:34 am

or that interesting spleen

9:34 am

9:37 am

jmc, I entered a couple of words in a row in chat when I first got here today. Don't feel too bad

9:38 am

9:49 am

9:50 am

the lone L is a scots term for loyal

9:50 am

went from all day at dealer, drop the front wheels, remove bumper cover, etc....to 2 hours in office parking lot.

9:50 am

*stamps foot in disgust* Hawaiian greeting is acceptable, but "hola" is not.

9:56 am

Oh, criminy, Crossy. This is the 21st century. It's all about digital, baby.

9:56 am

9:59 am

Photomat -- gosh, is that a quaint thought these days! :-)

9:59 am

lol,one of thier instant camreas,they have to do it for free;)

10:00 am

lol,took me ten years to replace my rotary dial phone

10:01 am

I don't think I've seen a little Photomat shack for at least 10 years!

10:01 am

I think Walmart squashed them all when they were laying their parking lots.

10:01 am

i have a tube console radio up till i get married,was funny to see my friends faces when i had a get together and told them"we would have music in a minute once the set warmed up" lol

10:01 am

I actually saw one the other day. It had been converted into a drive-thru coffee shack.

i have al 6 and be 6. can you give me others im missing?

10:02 am

10:02 am

the other one is related to insect pests

10:04 am

10:06 am

*dope slaps Flask*

10:06 am

that's one great advantage of not letting them out. mine doesn't hunt but she still seems to catch fleas

ok, so al 6, be 6x2. what are the others?

10:07 am

There's probably flea eggs in your house, guernsey. Time to bomb.

10:08 am

10:08 am

Fe6, he/6, ma/6.

thanks judi, but i use a protective for the cat and the house that keeps us clear

10:08 am

we do walk the young male on a harness from time to time

10:09 am

i love the look from people when i walking the cat down the sidewalk

does he behave?

10:10 am

Crossy-I used to do that with my rabbit!

10:10 am

so-so loud sounds will spook him

10:10 am

Phantom: falafel.

10:10 am

then you have to pick him up

10:11 am

BRB.

my last cat used to come for walks with me without a harness and everyone in the neighbourhood thought it was very funny

10:11 am

bbs..llife intrudes...poof

has anyone got the last wh5/20?

10:13 am

I dunno, my clues are stuck on yesterday's puzzle...

what do you mean, Phoenix?

10:14 am

when I open "Lickety's Babble Clues" they are for yesterday's grid.

10:15 am

close it or refresh, phoenix. That usually helps me

10:15 am

ma6/21 like a rubber hammer with vowel instead of the 't' at the end

10:15 am

still says tuesday, I can log out and back in.

10:16 am

Nope...

10:16 am

clues are in babblers anonymous

i had the same problem but i got a list from someone else, trouble is i can't remember who.

10:17 am

I am not too worried about it really.

10:17 am

Lickety still has yesterday's clues for me too. Might be it just hasn't been updated yet.

10:17 am

And since I didn't babble yesterday, there's no chance it's cached ;)

gremlinn has a list up on his profile

10:17 am

aah. I haven't listed yet (30 to go)

10:18 am

I haven't either... just thought I'd take a peek. I'm afraid technical Support is in my blood, I can't escape it

10:18 am

Duck--I'm still new to this game, that's the first thing I do!

i can usually do about half before i get stuck and have to list.

10:20 am

Phoenix, don't sweat it. There are days I go to the list early; but most of the time I wait til halfway before listing. And some days I don't list at all.

10:20 am

I usually use Babble to reset my brain when I get stuck on a work-related problem, usually programming. It's weird, but popping in and finding a few words tends to get my thinking in other areas back on track :)

10:20 am

don't feel bad, my mostly indoor dog, Max, just got through a seige of sarcoptic mange (diagnosed by Ata and Haz) and treated by my local vet. Makes you feel like a bad mother!

10:21 am

Might be hitting the list early today though... I'm stuck in the late 30s :/

10:21 am

fireworks

10:22 am

Grats :)

10:22 am

YAY, mixi!!!! WTG!!!

10:22 am

guernsey girl, I used to have a cat that walked with me at night at perfect heel.

10:22 am

congrats mixie

hoorah mix.

it's funny how some cat's will do that. the one i have now wouldn't be seen dead with me outside the house.

10:23 am

not like my chow chows who would never be trustable off the leash; they'd come home eventually but would just take off!

you must have been terrified the first time they did that.

10:24 am

There used to be a stray cat that would follow me about 10 paces behind when I walked my dog.

Congrats, mix

10:24 am

and my Ruby used to escape from the garden, digging under the fence, finding small holes, it was awful. And she'd watch and wait for any opportunity to escape. She's settled down more now, but I still don't trust her.

10:25 am

Otherwise, she's the perfect dog!

10:25 am

the cat that currently lives here is a long tailed Manx. I had a tail-less Manx (this ones' brother) several years ago; and Manx cats are very easy to train. They will come when you call, fetch, heel, etc.

My daughter had to take one of her cats to the vet for its first post-spay visit without a box (the other cat had destroyed both boxes while she was looking for the quiet one) and the cat climbed right up onto her head as soon as they got outside, and they went all the way to the vet like that - on the bus!

10:25 am

that's a riot, nef, so herding cats doesn't apply to Manx'

lol helen

10:26 am

that is so cute! I miss having a cat....

my ginger female has a mind of her own, which unfortunately extends to marking the house as hers by spraying furniture - and not with polish

i have ab5, al5 x2. am missing another a5?

10:27 am

Never fails... the moment I'm ready to give up and open the list is when I start finding all the words :P

That's all the a 5's

10:27 am

They really are quite lovable affectionate cats and very much people cats. The one here now belongs to my Dtr; who has also moved back home again.

could anyone clue the ab5 for me please

10:28 am

good morning, everyone :)

12:18 pm

not nice, but very funny

12:19 pm

12:19 pm

profanity is good for morale

12:19 pm

12:19 pm

Nassau

12:20 pm

12:22 pm

12:22 pm

ok, I like hot peppers but that one b=may be too hot for me

12:22 pm

the hottest, I think. My husband likes them in his chicken salad and in his omelets. I have to wear gloves to cut them up or they burn my hands

12:23 pm

It's the very hottest Peri.

12:23 pm

the ac is on in the house and I am freezing. I am wearing a sweater

12:23 pm

Many times hotter than the next.

12:23 pm

yes, hego, that's the other name. Here they call them chilis d'Antilles

12:23 pm

Hi Ruby

12:23 pm

according to Man vs. Food, the ghost chili is the hottest.

12:24 pm

it's crazy that he eats them but not my problem

12:24 pm

what's a ghost chili

12:24 pm

i have pet conchs

12:24 pm

No idea

12:24 pm

no, "Piments d'Antille"

12:24 pm

Whay Jay?

12:24 pm

uh, what

12:25 pm

wanna play with my conch?

12:25 pm

we used to tow our friend with the sailboat and he would dive for conch and toss them in the dinghy

12:25 pm

sounds obscene

12:25 pm

is jay naighty?

12:26 pm

I have watched Man vs Food. I can't believe the stuff he eats

12:26 pm

Is that an indecent proposal?

12:26 pm

:-D

12:26 pm

I was able to get frozen conch in Miami; the closest thing here is scungilli [sp?] which isn't close at all

12:26 pm

nope

12:26 pm

I didn't know my husband was on TV

12:26 pm

the ghost chili is the bhut jolokia pepper

12:26 pm

scungilli, I thought that was squid

12:27 pm

hah ruby

12:27 pm

no, it's a kind of shell fish I think. Squid is calamari

12:27 pm

I had conch in Belize. Like chewing rubber bands

12:27 pm

like a nasty clam

12:27 pm

right, got confuse there

12:27 pm

It's a big snail

12:28 pm

have had calamari but not scungilli

12:28 pm

My grandma used to cook them. Ugh!

12:28 pm

after it marinates in the sour orange juice, it softens up a little

12:28 pm

had snail many years ago on vacation In Puerto Rico

12:28 pm

the ghost chili measures 850,000 - 1,050,000 on the scoville scale, the scotch bonnet 100,000-350,000

12:28 pm

isn't that what periwinkles are, snails. Am I incorrect

12:28 pm

sometimes it is better to not know what you are eating

12:28 pm

I'll eat any kind of seafood except if it's farmed.

12:29 pm

the snails we eat are terrestrial, periwinkles are from the ocean

12:29 pm

a periwinkle is a purple flower

12:29 pm

that's what I love about Babble, constantly learning new things

12:29 pm

it is also some kind of snail or clam

12:30 pm

I once tried making fresh (live) snails, but you have to purge them for two days and they kept getting out of the pot! Don't try this at home!

12:30 pm

I did not know that about periwinkles, will have to gooogle it

12:30 pm

bbl

12:31 pm

The only thing I've eaten live was "dancing shrimp" in a sushi bar. Drink enough sake and you can eat anything, I've learned

12:31 pm

Drink enouhg Sake and you can fall over a fence and separate your shoulder and not even know it for two days....

12:31 pm

good reason to stay away from sake

12:32 pm

that sounds like a personal experience, cadfan!

12:32 pm

anyone have a clue for ca5/22?

12:32 pm

hello ADHD; we're all talking about deserts!

12:44 pm

Hi AD

12:44 pm

hi adhd

nice topic

12:45 pm

had lemon meringue pie in a local resto for lunch; it was fine but was served with applesauce on the side

12:45 pm

not a good combination

12:45 pm

Why?

that's a wierd combo

12:46 pm

but the meringue was wonderful

i'm not big on pies and regular cakes; i prefer coffee cake kinda stuff... despise frosting

12:47 pm

they have something here called quatre quart (or something like that) which is actually pound cake, delish with rum, you might like it ADHD

bet I would love it; like the pound cakes, esp. almond

12:48 pm

and the rum doesn't hurt, either

makes it nice and moist... yum

hiccup

12:49 pm

flop. I got bitten by a dog.

12:49 pm

good night everybody; it's been swell.

12:50 pm

no! what kind of dog?

12:50 pm

Ouch!

are you okay?

12:50 pm

a gorgeous little brindle staffie - a friend's dog - hobbit and her ar Best Friends, but for some reason today they had a Spat

12:50 pm

that's terrible considering how much you love dogs!

12:50 pm

and I got to pull them apart

12:50 pm

and you got between them?

12:51 pm

fine, fine. my hand is multi-coloured!

that was quite brave of you

12:51 pm

I know, never get between fighting dogs, but it was easier than waiting for hobbit to need a vet!

12:51 pm

my husband did that once and had to go to the emergency room for stitches

12:51 pm

that's too bad Ata. You had too.

12:51 pm

of course, straight after they were best friends again *facepalm*

12:52 pm

I did pop down to the dr but he said I'd cleaned the wounds fine, and I'm up to date on tetanus, so he said just keep an eye on it and come straight back if it gets infected

aren't you supposed to turn a hose on them?

12:53 pm

you are ... but this was inside and no ho4 to hand LOL

12:53 pm

yes, or throw a blanket or coat

12:53 pm

or throw something like a pot lid to make a loud noise and distract them

12:54 pm

tried that. they were Not stopping, little monsters! anyway, that was my exciting day! and it was only my fault, not the dogs. don't blame the liuttle darling staffie at all

12:56 pm

lol but really, I have a bandage on my left hand, but I can still manage fine. She got me (luckily) in the fleshy part between thumb and forefinger

4:58 pm

And you?

quite the heat wave.

4:58 pm

Bet we're hotter today. Wanna bet wanna bet?

I think you are hotter.

We are only at 84.

4:59 pm

No, it is not right, but I think Miami is hotter than you.

5:00 pm

It's nothing but extremes this year all over, Barb's, huh.

actually, aparrently it is not, how odd Krista.

I actually had to turn the heat up today

I messed with the ceiling fans most of the day.

Wow, really, Red? Sheesh. But maybe Miami is more humid. :)

I think he's well. He often sounds like he's been on earlier and is maybe just finishing up when I do see him

5:37 pm

red, I'm sure they would be choking hazards now-a-days

5:37 pm

LOL, red!

5:38 pm

Weebles didn't fit in my nor my sister's mouths, and her boys have used them w/out problems, too.

really? I thought legos were that. were weebles smaller? Memory is foggy.

5:38 pm

I loved them dcs, and HI

5:38 pm

Legos are MUCH more swallowable, yes.

5:38 pm

Hi Seain

5:40 pm

oh my gosh, Red.

5:41 pm

5:41 pm

that's scary, red

5:41 pm

I never can understand too why people do not want their kids to go to bed....I mean they seem to keep them up to all hours of the night.

5:42 pm

my DH does. He breaks his teeth on the hulls whenever he has any! ;-/

Pam, are you watching "In Plain Sight"?

5:43 pm

heck, my Dtr. is 27 yrs old and has never slept through the night! ;-)

5:43 pm

5:43 pm

that's me, nef

5:43 pm

lately, it's 2 hours down, 1 up because i feel tired

5:43 pm

yes, Wal-Mart is FULL of children with their parents all night long - rather shocking

5:43 pm

i prefer 4 hours going to bed at odd hours... 4 hours uninterrupted, that is

yes, Mom thats what I mean...I know sometimes you have an emergency, but why take your 3 yr old to wal mart for regular groceries at 11:30 at night.

5:44 pm

5:44 pm

5:44 pm

5:54 pm

5:54 pm

we get them for the boys for Christmas, also a huge water park and two visits and the pass is paid for

5:55 pm

we have knotts berry farm, and six flags out here

5:55 pm

and disney - six flags is the best of for roller coasters, but I miss OH parks

5:55 pm

there were a couple of really good rides at Kings Dominion too

Disney is too expensive even with the Fl resident year rate...its like 370 bucks for one year.

5:56 pm

http://cedarfair.com/ wow they own a lot more than they used to

5:56 pm

ya you really need water parks out there in the summer too! humidity is a killer! Mom your profile pic is killin me! LMAO!

5:57 pm

Maybe I heard they got bought out. Disney has gotten ridiculous. I don't have kids so it's not an issue for me, but still

5:58 pm

Back soonnnnn

5:58 pm

yes, the humidity is awful

5:59 pm

Need help with the first al 5/10

hi all, osrry dinner was ready

6:00 pm

Hi Mac

6:00 pm

Hi mom

I live close to Disney, but it really is too expensive to be a weekly thing.

but I do get to see the fireworks there a lot, over my house.

6:03 pm

i love fireworks :)

the disney ones are very nice. I am not a big fan of the actual park, however.

6:04 pm

does anyone have clues posted?

6:05 pm

babbler annonymous Tfgrrl

6:05 pm

bab anon does

gremlinn also in his profile.

hmm prob would not have played if i had known that

6:06 pm

ty, red - i couldn't recall his handle

glad to be somewhat useful...

6:08 pm

Red, did you get your taxes finished?

I filed them. I am rather sure there was some form missing....but they are filed.

thanks for asking mom.

6:14 pm

will anything happen to you if that form is missing?

6:14 pm

ma4*3 and an mh4, what am i missing, pls?

6:14 pm

oh sure, Red.

stuck at 64

6:15 pm

mh?

It might, but I think the worst that could happen is that I have to talk to the IRS. I really wish they would just sometimes take my money rather than make me fill out all of their forms. I am getting a refund but I would rather them take it than have to do that again.

6:15 pm

yes, mh4.6

ty for the mh clue dc...

6:16 pm

I only have 3 ma 4's Seain 4/7 and 2 4/5's

6:16 pm

got the mh, thank you

6:16 pm

I hope that is all, Red

6:17 pm

our Federal tax gets mailed to Austin TX where that man flew the plane into the building.

I think I forgot to declare about 45 dollars of interest income...the irs...well, they will probably find it.

used to be right there in kentucky

6:18 pm

use to be TO or Cincinnati but noooo, now it is Austin

My Mom got a letter from them this year telling her she made an error and owed some 2K more. She wrote them back, and about 3 months later...they wrote and apologized as she had done ti correctly...I think the days of a nasty audit for something small are over...

6:18 pm

Hopefully, it will all turn out good, Red

yea, well, lets hope so...

6:19 pm

I would be sick over that Red

6:19 pm

did get the state refund back in 2 weeks though

Well, I filed, and I honestly got so confused about the house sale, the whole thing was rather messy this year. Each year I hope for less and less complication, but....

No state tax here, thank God!

i am falling asleep here

6:20 pm

less and less complication .... have a CPA do it and I believe the cost or a portion of it is tax deductible

6:20 pm

oh TO, get a nap and come back

red, no cpa? unuaual events beg for them

It would have been rather simple if I had managed to save the home sale documents. I just did it with turbo tax....

i plan to use turbo tax

6:22 pm

Seain, ma 6/21

6:22 pm

ty, mom, found it

6:22 pm

the disney / pixar movie W***** only with a M

6:24 pm

oh TO, I use to drag my feet until about 15 years ago 2 days to file my computations showed we owed over 3K. I was sick. Went to a CPA and it turned out it was only $300 owed

ahhh Fireworks.

6:24 pm

congrats Red

7:18 pm

you have a real animal farm in your house

7:18 pm

i came up with the bell's palsy theory due to droopy eye and when he yawns, mouth on same side opens less

7:19 pm

but he eats on both sides seemingly w/out trouble

7:21 pm

8:02 pm

dictionary.com doesn't know it.

8:03 pm

gotta love babble words...lol

8:04 pm

8:04 pm

it sounds like something you'd do to torture your neighbor's dog.

8:04 pm

Go JessasMom, Go!

8:05 pm

LOL

8:06 pm

I lived in Stoneham, MA for a while Kris, where are you?

8:07 pm

Watertown. I dated a guy in Stoneham for a while a long time ago

8:08 pm

Gee, my ex was from Stoneham, hope it wasn't him and if it was, so sad for you....lol

8:08 pm

Hmmm...did he drive a porsche?

8:08 pm

I think his ex lived somewhere on the south shore

8:10 pm

I guess he could have had a porshe before I knew him, but only an RX7 that I know of....he had an ex before me in Billerica

8:10 pm

2 to go

8:10 pm

Sounds like two guys worth leaving...

8:11 pm

LOL! and in my case, definitely worth it...wish I had done it long before I did

8:11 pm

{poised for a woohoo}

8:11 pm

I only dated this guy for 6 months. I got tired of hearing the details of what he wore to aerobics class on the phone

8:12 pm

lol

8:13 pm

unfortunately, I hung in there for 10+ years....young and foolish I was...while he was older, controlling and just a jerk

8:13 pm

so sorry - when you're young it's hard to recognize the controlling older guys. They just seem so ...masterful somehow

8:14 pm

yeah, I was way too young to get married, only 21, while he was 33 and just seemed to *know* everything...

8:15 pm

yup. sounds like par

8:15 pm

ok, I've got one left, an wh 5, 20 and it's making me crazy....a little hint?

8:16 pm

he picked someone 12 years younger just for that effect

8:16 pm

you have one who5, right?

8:16 pm

try changing the last vowel

8:16 pm

thx! Fireworks! another weird word

8:17 pm

Woooohooo JessasMom! Congratulations!

8:17 pm

ca 5 22 is weird

8:17 pm

I have to read more poetry to get words like that

8:18 pm

ma 6 21 is wierd

8:18 pm

mh4 is weird

8:18 pm

yeah, for such a small grid, there were some really odd words

8:19 pm

probably the same number as usual, but just not so outnumbered by more common words

8:19 pm

probably true, I don't end up finishing the really large ones, so probably don't get to all the odd words

8:19 pm

I think I'll ready myself for sleeping and see if there's any dumb tv to watch. Probably a good chance :)

8:20 pm

ok, nice to chat with you, hope to catch you again on line. nite, happy dreams

8:20 pm

I don't finish many grids these days.

8:20 pm

Very nice chatting with you, too! Enjoy the pretty tulips!

Goodnite, Jessmom!

ty min and hi smoothie! ;)

8:50 pm

Hi smooth_pappa! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

8:50 pm

Ah5/12 babbers!I can do a story of clues now since I am done with the grid.I will write about a famous ma 4/5 in Hollywood,al4/5 Baldwin,since he's in the grid. I don't know too much about Al 4/5 Baldwin like if he is a vegetarian or if he likes to eat be4/9. I do know that he is a fe 5/16 who can be a jerk. For example, he is known for punching the paparazzi in the fa 4/8 as he tries to fl 4/7 from them. They do nothing but sc 5/20 at his bad behavior.The more he ho4/9s and yells,the worse he makes it for himself.He can't goto a ma 4/5 without being harrassed by the paparazzi. So now he is stuck with a la 5/14 of jacka**. I do not think he will be ab 4/6 to lo4/4 that image. I can see why Kim Basinger might have had to stick her cl4/9s at him. But in any ca4/5, jerk or not, he is a fe 6/27 is a good actor. I fe 4/7 tired now & must go to bed.

and thanks for the clue min... I needed that one. :)

8:50 pm

10:29 pm

excellent news, joey! :-D

10:29 pm

thanks Jac *proud mama look*

10:29 pm

yeah, stid, could you finish so you can clue along with Jac! LOL

10:30 pm

Pini - does that mean you want different clues?

10:30 pm

okay. lost a lot of weight this past month - way too much according to the oncologist. food just doesn;t do it for me.

10:30 pm

* blush * well, sometimes a blend of clues helps when my brain goes completely dead! :)

10:31 pm

go pini go!!!!!

10:31 pm

sorry, having my usual difficulty reading the small text in the chog ... or for that matter the big yellow tiles. *sigh*

10:31 pm

Here's what I'm listening to now, Toad by Cream, drum solo by Ginger Baker.a length of 42 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 25 characters: http://tinyurl.com/mkqwl4

10:32 pm

ha. found the mh! :-D

10:32 pm

Pini - I don't do spelling it out clues, or try not to. But blending is fine.

10:33 pm

Thx Jac, I appreciate that...sometimes spelling it out per letter can get intereswting and sometimes unwelcome...

10:34 pm

-w

10:35 pm

Hmm, I wonder what -w means?

10:35 pm

I spelled "interesting" wrong ;)

10:35 pm

one to go, shoot me now

10:36 pm

LOL - so how did -w come from that?

10:36 pm

done

10:36 pm

I slipped a "w" into it...not sure exactly how! LOL

10:36 pm

Harp - my crossbow is at the ready, but I'd really rather not shoot or killl you.

10:36 pm

I was simply removing it to correct the error...

10:37 pm

;)

10:37 pm

Jac, do you have or know where a list might be?

10:37 pm

Pini - the list is in my profile and on BabAnon.

10:39 pm

ooooh, thx, jac!!!

10:39 pm

10:39 pm

10:39 pm

I'd better take a peak before I drive us both crazy! :)

hi musicious. have you ever played boggle?

11:45 pm

I play on wordsplay

11:45 pm

11:45 pm

firebirds!

make words out of connecting letters in the grid. 4-letter minimum. when you find a word, type it into the ADD WORD box. then enter. goal is to find every word in the grid.

i play wordsplay too

11:46 pm

what name are u on there

musicious, you should be aware that we get a new grid once a day, and it happens at Midnight, Central Time (US), which is in 14 minuntes

wtg atalante!!! ~~~ !!!

11:53 pm

okay... that's what u mean by Be6? starts with be and 6-letters?

11:53 pm

11:54 pm

11:54 pm

almost "bellicose"

11:54 pm

or bellvase :(

11:54 pm

you can look under "Word Stats" to see the number of words of each length

11:55 pm

for today, you can see that there is only one 7 letter word, and nothing longer

11:55 pm

kind of a disappointment

okay, can someone clue the be6 that does not involve tumbling down a cliff?

11:55 pm

I clicked book doctor's icon but i can't see his words

11:55 pm
