great term wordbitch -- that's me!
I just came from seeing Hairspray, my first time!
felt you would like that one jil
jilli, where did that come from
Never seen it -- do I care?
hugs to all... cya the flip
One of the actors screwed up a line and it caused a MAJOR crackup on stage, the other actors, the orchestra, and most of the audience. It was very funny!
*poofing* have a nice day / eve
bye volley
flosey, sammysmom just used "wordbitch"
i learned from my nana.... she never swore ... never raised her voice... but, she coukld say things to a person and it woukld take them 5 minutes or so to realise that thier soul was flayed and falling to thier ankles
I don't think I've ever seen a professional actor lose it like that. it was worth the price of admission!
bye dee
we used to call her the wilkinsword tongue
wilkinson sword tongue- remember those old razors?
Goodbye all. :)
quite a termagent, eh sammysmom?
nite greedy
or is it termagant?
g'night greedy
teermagant i believe, but nana was not boisterous, she was very quiet and firm
i remember once when i was 11 or so and had a moral dilemma, and asked her what i should do and she say with surprise at my asking, " why, child , you dill do your DUTY".. it was that simple for her
does anyone have a clue for the ca7? please?
meow + fresh breath
ty josh
i am growing some this year for sam and chuck flosey
we wouldn't dare grow it lol
ah, good idea, have never heard it called that, is it the same as nip?
fireworks...thx josh
wtg dart
same effect different plant
congrats dart
thanks Katie
i grew it last year and made treats for 20 of my favorite cats- strange that i know at least that many by name-lol. but my relatives and friends are all blessed with at least one
or OSWNED by them
owned
am afraid it might attract the cat to the garden - wouldn't want him digging around there
given the effect I have seen on c*** I wouldn't plant it if you didn't want to attract them flosey
i had it in a planter 6 feet from the ground-lol
he probably spends about 75% of his time outside
ah, good idea
they didn t bother it when it was growing, but they sure kliked it dried
interesting
my BinL's cats went wild fighting over it and drooling everywhere when it was growing, I think like nip some like it more than others
I've had loads of ca***** for years -- kitty didn't care much.
May I please have a clue for ca8-65? Thanks
just monkeyed the ca8
neighbour's cat likes to chew it though.
flosey has very talented monkeys
ca4 + how you usually cook bacon omit the r
i grow grass for them in the winter and they eat it also some of my house plants... they have never bothered geraniums, or alo but they seem to like the impatiens
was all over with it jilli
i have fennel in the garden and Crumble chews it regularly, then remembers how bad it tastes
finding this grid much more interesting than last yesterday
btw -- YAY dart!!! (i was in the kitchen)
thx jilli
skip that last - sorry, very tired and headache to boot, should be in bed
started to say last night!
btw, congrats, flosey, on the bridge win last night!
Thanks so much flosey.
ty jilli - was very surprised! did you know, there was 1/2 pt between 1, 2 and 3
yw peach
hadn't noticed that, flosey!
pretty tight! they went over the scores very carefully
the Ian-Zelly placement was amusing -- congratulated her today in GVM ;)
yes, especially her comment on the scoresheet
lol, yes!
so many people enjoy your column jilli - even non bridge players
thanks, flosey -- it's gratifying
I don't know how you come up with the different comments
twisted mind, I guess
nice tahr, flosey, btw -- a Himalayan one, I guess
half way phew
dammmmm.. it won t take spidas...... my son used to like to play with spidas
thanks jilli, your's too, great write-up
Oh sorry -- a Nilgiri one -- hadn't read enough. Didn't you change the writeup?
sammysmom, would gramma have approved of that word? lol
no jilli
well done, katie!
maybe I was thinking about your emyd.
ty jilli
that would have gotten me the " oh, sandra, how could you? " look.lol
May I please have a clue for ca7-36? Thannks
lol, much like my gramma
i'm off to see hubby off to Bristol then back to bed for an hour before my meeting, see you all later/tomorrow
bye katie, have a great day
peach - it's treat that felines enjoy
could someone please clue the first ac6/24 word ?
I never knew my grandparents
that happens when you're an overseas kid
sad jilli, was very fond of my maternal grandparents, never knew paternal grandad but grandma was a dear - very English, a bit reserved
i was very lucky jil... at one time there were five generations of us living a- in my parents house at the same time
wow sammysmom, quite a household
Thanks so much flosey....I'm a bit slow on the uptake tonight.
that would have been very interesting, to know greats like that
no prob peach
there were 10 of us and always a relative or two visiting
my grandmother was wonderful.. the light of my life
Awww -- watching CTV news -- that starved Golden Retriever that was rescued has a new home and is bouncing happily around :)
that must be very fond memories ru
great news jilli
lucky you, ruru
mine also and my great grandfather taught me all kinds of things and made my first skates, skis and sled, we used to take our sunday naps todether .. me on his lap. one sunday i woke up when called for dinner and he did not... what a great way to do huh?
oh my, s'mom!
but a wonderful memory
i should be so lucky when my time comes.. to fall asleep with my favorite grandchild on my lap and go in my sleep. that is about as good as it can get i think
sister and I lived with grandparents for a while, when mom was hospitalized - grampa would sit me on his knee and read Uncle Wiggley to me from the daily paper
my grandmother protected me from my awful parents
no wonder you adored her, ruru
that must be a wonderful thing for you to recall flosey.... and i think it gives a feeling on continuity, life... the family.. goes on and that is how is should be
lucky to have had her close to you, ru
plus she taught me how to cook and take care of myself
my brother and I were latchkey kids
were your parents party people, ruru?
that is sad ruru. thank god for your grandmother.
gamblers and alcoholics and worked overtime
they would leave on Thursday night and come home Sunday night from Nevada
Yes indeed, thank god for your grandmother.
ditto jilli (took the words out of my mouth)
I learned early on to pay attention to the wisdom of my elders
when nana had to go to a nursing home , i was 15 and we visited her every day.. at least 2 or 3 of the family..... i was just starting to date and would have my boyfriend take to to see nana before we went out. one fellow didn t want to .. that was the end of him!!-lol
Did your brother turn out as well as you have, ruru?
hi all
no... sadly a lost soul..very tragic
hi diem
hi diem
oh -- just over halfway!
morning all
oh dear -- so sorry, ruru
hi diem
hi diem and mari
hi mari
hello mari
hi Mari,how is Kates tooth?
She is on antibiotics so it will take a few days
i hear jim qwilleran calling me from upstairs
jim qwilleran?
lillian jackson braun's books, the cat who... series.. very interesting and great to go to sleep by
Oh yes, I've read a couple of those -- ages ago -- don't remember jim
he was the reporter who inherited the klingenshoen fortune
I really don't remember!
has lots adventures and solves murders with the help of his cat koko
nite all... poof
night s'mom!
ruru, I'm so very sorry that you and your brother had such a rough time. I wonder why we have to go through the really bad times.....but we survive. I'm glad you are who you are now.
must get to bed, 70 to do tomorrow, goodnight everyone
I'm glad you are who you are too, ruru -- one of my favourite people
night flosey sleep well
agree there jilli
well done, flosey -- goodnight!
nbt
Lurking tag-team fireworks with MetFan - Night all - POOF
congrats, pug/met :)
Time for me to turn in too -- 75 left -- goodnight! *poof*
good morning. I read through the chat and think I missed some very important things! This is a wonderful, caring, community and although I've only been a member since December, I feel like, little by little, I am beginning to know you and your lives. I am very lucky to begin to be a part of it!
night jilli
Nitey nite, everyone.....54 left. Sweet dreams.
hi and bye peach, that was an amazing chog!
morning all
Good morning spritey sprite and ruby!
lovely daffodils, FM
Thanks, they are the exact same as ones that have just finished flowering in the garden, they are minature ones.
oh I know the kind! They are really nice.
How are you doing sprite, hope spring is lifting your spirits.
am really on the mend, FM, and trying to stick to small steps so I won't hamper the healing, lol. It seems to be working!
very sensible dear :)
How is Terra?
And how are you, FM? Enjoying the garden, I see, and otherwise?
AM well, settled into the house now and enjoying life.
Terra is lovely as ever. Shedding his winter coat right now, and trying to find out who is really boss. Falling in love with some bull terrier lady. Cuddly and funny as ever.
oh how funny his first crush!
so glad to hear that :)
yes it is sweet to watch. He ignores us totally when he sees her. Runs to play, some weak attempts to mount her but on the wrong side, lol. Then more play.
half way night all happy babbling
LOL Night diem.
night diem
phone, brb.
morning all. how many words today please
203
203 words, sandra
thank you
You're welcome
hello I'm back
wb rubyfoo
hi sprite and fm
hi sandra
made 78 words very fast, but probably won't get many more....but, although there was frost last night [!!], today promises to be gorgeous!
here as well, lovely day. 140 words pretty fast, now slowing down considerably.
that is so cute about Terra! It reminds me of my second chow, Rufus, who, the first time he tried to pee lifting a leg, fell over. I was in Brussels at the time and my husband called me from Miami to tell me!
neither he, nor Max, neither of them fixed, ever tried to mount a lday chow
140 words!
140 is a distant dream....
aw that is so sweet! I did not even know male dogs had to learn to lift their leg to pee, until babble chog told me, lol.
he was a wonderful fentleman of a dog, lived to be 10, which is not too bad for a chow
gentleman* and he was a better typist than his mom!
no not at all
hehehe
Back again.
hello!
Morning ruby :)
wb FM. Weren't you the one who questioned my priorities recently? ;) Telephone over babble?
I hate the phone! it is mostly telemarketers
Babble always comes first but sometimes work gets in the way;)
my husband is wicked with telemarketeers. He turns tables on them... asks them which toothpaste they use, and why, and if they don't want to answer he goes like: "Don't you agree your teeth are very important? Don't you care about your teeth? Because if you do..."
indeed FM! So inconsiderate, isn't it
Morming all. lol sprite
hey Sally!
Hi there Sally
I got one who spoke French with a weird accent. Usually I say that I don't speak French or, if I realize it in time, I just hang up. One called back, twice, and said I was rude!
Hi sally
wow that is pushy
The final time, I made my husband answer and the guy hung up!
We don't get many. I have found recently they have a new chat-up line of "how are you?" I totally throw them when I ask, "why?"
haha
oh yes, disrupting their script is the best way to go.
sometimes you can tell because there is a long pause before anybody speaks
I had one that called back and said we had been cut off. I just said, no, we didn't get cut off, I hung up on you. I also tell them that on a point of principle I never ever deal with anyone that cold calls. We are on the telephone preference scheme here so I quote the regulations back at them and tell them they could be fined because they are breaking the law.
though I must say I don't usually follow my love's example. Since they are all just people hired to do this job, I simply say: I am not interested. have a nice day.
after seeing slumdog, I realized that they sit in front of a console that dials many numbers at the same time and when someone picks up, they turn to that line
Oh I do that too Sally as am in TPS too.
Oh, is that in slumdog? I had heard that was the case because that's why sometimes when you pick up there is no-one there.
sometimes they call on our fax number which is relaly a nusance. then I have to run downstairs to disconnect
I do get very rude if they are pushy FM.
yes
rubyfoo, there is a word in this grid you may not have seen before, a babblet. ni5/10 - 2nd generation Japanese immigrants.
Silence while everyone looks for the ni 5/10
lol
is that to blow up the phone?
nope, that is another one
hmmm....giving monkeys a banana
n + form of to be + first two letters of goose feathers
ty sprite
yvw guernseygirl
ty sprite, didn't see that
yvw, another one for the babblet list :) I must be off for a while, have fun all!
TTFN spritey sprite.
bye sprite, see you soon
still not at half!
Keep going ruby there are some straightforward wods hidden in there amongst the unusual ones.
*words even!
except for sprite's ni5, I've got the others on my own *puffed up*
hidden in the woods
Yay!
100 now and almost lunch time
husband is trying to be nice as this is my "birthday week", but his struggle is visible!
Do you have any plans for 'the day'?
he is taking me to the best rtestaurant in the region, Pere Bise, which I think is madness but "voila"
I'm sure it has a website, if you are interested....
Sounds lovely, I will google it.
Perhaps we should have a babble meet there?
it is on the lake and only 10 minutes away
We'll all leap out of rubyfoo's cake, saying "surprise!"
sounds good to me, but we'd need a sponsor, lol
Oh wow the menu is wonderful!
Veyrat, the famous chef, used to have another 3-star resto here, but he went broke!
brb - googling
LOL Sally
It is one of those places that gives menus without prices to the women, which I hate, as, when I worked, I used to take out clients all the time in NY and Chicago and other places!
half!!
French sexism is invidious (or insidious, I can never remember which) and is very annoying
and such a beautiful location.
yes, this is a lovely part of France!
and I can see that lake from where I'm sitting
You are only 10 minutes away from the lake then ruby? I think we should definitely all check it out.
you can almost see my house in google earth, route de Morat in Veyrier du Lac
Time for me to get the Babble Jet out out of mothballs then.
no, much closer, straight down the hill
Dons helmet and goggles in preparation for FM to pick me up en route
you are both so sweet, now I'm off to make an apero for my trying-to-be-sweet husband.
See you later ruby
bye for now then
we are having lunch at a terrible Italian restaurant in the village. The chef tries to make French food and does so badly. When he makes his native Sicilian stuff, it's quite good.
No need for goggles and helmet Sally, it is a plush jet complete with cabana boys.
Finding it difficult to concentrate this morning because we are having some work done immediately above my head and it's like a very very loud dentist's drill.
and I drink grappa, so don't really care!
oh, poor sally! That would drive me crazy.
*Puts Biggles helmet back in drawer
lol
It is actually giving me a headache ruby
[[hugs]]
Just glad I don't have an immiment dentist's appointment! The guy is wearing ear defenders, but I'm not!
*lends Sally my ear defenders*
Oh, thanks, FM. They look fetching with the Biggles helmet.
(and the goggles of course)
LOL! and the boiler suit, very fetching!
I didn't know you knew about the boiler suit! No, actually I have the leather/sheepskin jacket on.
One thing though do get rid of the stick on mustache, it does nothing for the outfit :)
phantom: sadist
You think that's a stick-on one?
ROFL
and there we go - Fireworks!
Yay for FM! Not even half way yet.
Unfortunately that means I have to put sensible head on and start work. Great chatting and TTFN.
Cheers FM. See you again.
hello, back from so-so lunch
hi ruby, just back on myself and surprised to see mine was the last post, two hours ago! Where is everyone?
Was this the lunch in the Italian restaurant trying to be French?
Hi sally, ruby. I'm just back from hairdresser. Long hair all chopped off. Feels very strange.
yes, my food was fish in broth with rice, yummy. Husband had grilled squid which he didn't like, so I ate 1/3 of his, too. However, Grappa makes everything wonderful!
I remember when I had that done hundreds of years ago, hydra. Went from waist length to the Mia Farrow look! Felt like a different personality, and very draughty!
My hairdresser imploded and my hair is horrible - not much of it but curly and grey!
At the time, the hairdresser kept asking me anxiously, are yoiu sure you want to do this?!
My head looks like a [brely] fuzzy grapefruit!
barely*
hi, everyone! I know what you're going through, Hydra...! For a while after having mine cut, I kept brushing my shoulder blades..:)
lol NB
however, I now appreciate being able to flick my head around without hitting anyone in the face :)
Pounce
hello herin!
You or the cat herin?
how are you?
hi, Herin!
hey, NB!
Bonjour Ruby ;)
bonjour, NB
Kidding myself there - I can barely speak -English-!
lol lol
bonjour tout le monde!
but I'm another nancy (real name) but have many nicknames
my excuse always is, "it's a second language..." never mind that I know about two words of the first language, lol
Buongiorno Ata
hello ata! how is your bitten hand?
How are yuo Ata what happened?
ahn-nyeong Ata ;)
that's like the guy who speaks 7 languages, none of them fluently! lol
ahn-nyeong! oooo *learns new thing*
LOL Ruby, well quite! In my "native tongue" (oh please) I can't even transliterate my surname! It's got about ten alternative spellings
it's very - um - yellow and black and blue and purple, ruby!!
too funny! it's like having 10 nicknames
but I share nancy with you
It might not be written right, Ata - things get lost in translation when a language forsakes letters for shapes! ;)
but not infected, ata?
how kind of you Ruby ;)
brb - must dry hair!
magandang umaga! I'm trying to remember all my Tagalog for an assignment I'm doing
but I am nancy ellen (hard to grow up with that!)
no, not infected. just bloody painful LOL
you need my ruby to make it well!
I get to see my friend's Bella on Friday night :)
Crud I missed the chat. What happened Ata? Sorry I sniffed
dogs make everything all right!
oh - I separated Hobbit and a friend's dog - they decided to have a spat
ata, bravely, tried to break up a dog fight! She should have known better, but instinct kicked in!
bad puppies
At least you didn't do that bull crap positive training and let them at it
oh yes. and of course 10 mins later they were asleep cuddled up together
while you were at the ER!
brb
I did for a moment to see if they'd stop. they didn't. I know you're not meant to physically stop fighting pups, but it was just easier than dealing with an injured Hobbit or Belle!
My g.f is against positive training it doesn't work and the dog gets confused
I can imagine! Ruby has had some stomach upset for 3 days and I'm going crazy! It is hard to be rational about much-loved pups!
I knew perfectly well I'd get bitten, so it was partly my fault, but it needed to be done
I have a cold and Pandora since I got in has been all snuggles
my husband has done the same thing, certainly understandable
that is so sweet, herin
awwwww
Ata my friend stopped sending her dog to play group when the runner did positive training on a fighting dog. There is the no don't do that when they snap but this dog and got the other dogs face and was really trying to hurt it
hobbit hasn't stopped cuddling me since that!
Ata is that your smug Silly?
they know!
but the dog that bit me is sooo gorgeous, I don't remotely blame her. She's a *beautiful* young brindle staffordshire bull terrier, I adore her
yep!!
My gods that is the best pic ever of her
chows are too sweet. They protect me, but I would never send them to a group with less-nice dogs!
isn't she smug!
See Stafs can get very that is my mum NO you go NO near them
how did you get that cat to smile like that? Did you offer her a pre-chosen mouse?
we *think* hobbit walked too near one of Belle's chews. But we're not sure
lol no idea! I just saw her and RAN for the camera!
Mum and Dad have outside play only with other dogs as she is a bit old and snappy
Ata - 'Looking down from Batsford Woods' breathtaking!
Ruby smiles and shows her huge teeth!
Hello everyone
it's so beautiful up at Batsford, next village along from where sister lives
Hi Lynxx
they have dopey smiles and sometimes just show their bottom [small] teeth. What would our lives be without our animals?
hello lynxx.
Ruby it would be a very lonely night with out them
the sound of their snoring puts me to sleep
and, speaking of sleep, it's nap time!
I went to sleep last night with Hobbit cuddled in my arms and Sily all curled up on my hip!
you couldn't do that with stinky chows, lol
awww
morning all
my last cat, Clarissa, used to sleep on my chest. She weighed 14 lbs (one stone!)
hi and bye dan
stunned that the plural of hiatus isn't hiati
hi Dan
morning everyone
Hi and bye crossy. See yo later
hi Cross
Ruby both cats weigh about 10 pounds
hi crossy
sily weighs 6lb. awwww
that is something to do with my cats being a fatty
out cats love to jump up on this window we have,sadly we also have this memento table full of delicate things nearby and the cats would destroy this table about 20 times a day,i had to go to yard sale get a second table of just the right height and place it under the wind0w for the cats to leap on and off of.Our training is going well i hope the cats will let us graduate soon:/
Cross that is why I have to get a cabinet with glass
wow I have been at this for hours and not one word entered
our window blinds get destroyed,so with the new ones i cut 5 slats off on the bootm right corner of each creating kitty doors for the windows,,the training continues....
awww.
hello all
I would enter words but sily keeps sitting on my laptop
howdy peri\
Ata=Hari that is the bestest picture of Silly. You should enter it in a contest!
I have one rule in this house no licking of cat butt on coffee table. They are not allowed on kitchen surfaces either
Hi Peri
ty! she's soooooo smugly cute
same here kitchen counter is verbotten
told that to Stew too
in the early days i caught one up on the stove with its head in a pot waiting to be washed..it was not repeated
how much of himself can Stew get on the worksurfaces?
Did the cat learn to swim
Hasn't done it here but did jump up onto Fosters kitchen bench, she was horrified and amazed. He can easily put his head on but doesn't seem to try here
I can imagine!
(probably the light rap on his nose has put him off)
aww. My cat can stretch up to the bench
back - all primped now :)
looking pretty sassy NB
Sexy
with my cat and the pot on the stove,i quietly grabbed a lid and a metal spoon set myself up right behind his back and prceeded to make as much noise as possible
LOL! you can't even see me (unless you are my neighbours across the way) but thank you ;)
hey there NB
hi, Peri!
howdy nb
mornin' Crossy :)
hi, everyone
Crossie let me guess. FLUFF then Flip
hi Guernsey
hi, Guernsey :)
lol, Herin!
I am going to go find a drink and some antihissy pills brb
lol herin,the pot went one way,the mashed taters went another and the cat went straight up
help pls with a on bottom row pls
can anyone tell me why the little wheel on the front of my mouse that i use to scroll, is not responding properly?
ai5 helped
is it dirty?
sheesh, ty lynx
a fluffy mouse?
the wear out guernsey,i go through several mice a year
no, neither fluffy or dirty and only three weeks old.
logitec make nice mice
nbt
ai5 helped
3 weeks? then there must be something in there,dirt,toast crumbs etc
this is microsoft.
morning, everyone :-)
you could get an optical mouse - very very cheap nowadays
hi Une
:-D
hm...when that happens I make it work through trial and error. Hitting the mouse, clicking with the rolly bit...do everything you can without breaking it. and it might start working again.
ty Une, got it
oh if your still using a rollarball mouse change it
what is an optical mouse, a mouse with glasses :)
I am still using a roller mouse
no, its not a rollerball - it says its bluetooth
optical mouse uses laser for tracking instead of a roller ball
bluetrack
i think that means its optical. it's working fine exceept for scrolling
crossy is right, logitec works great...morning all
howdy seaspray
hi all
shake your fist at it Guernsey
hey, jmc :-)
hi jmc
hi SeaSpray and jmc
i thought i would threaten it with my cat.
HI Une and JM and Sea and anyone i missed
first thing you do with a mouse that comes with your new computer is toss it over you left shoulder for the cats to play with lol
howdy, herin!
LOL Guernsey
but will probably take it back to the shop
stern
oops - sorry
then get a logitec mouse and spend about 40 dollars,it will last 5 years on average
now, can anyone clue the ca8/665
:-(
My cat did quiet literally kill the pc mouse
hi, Jmc! why the sad face?
mine was on sale for 19.99
howdy jm!
lynxxx was looking st5/10
logitech mice are fab
i am a sensitive girl
I am told that a lot!
yeah right
all this talk about mice is making my cat like her chops
I want to go to the next babble met OS
the mouse and keyboard that died were logitech. i just looked for a midprice replacement and microsoft was what came up
*lick
my cat is sitting under the garden bench watching the birds
I bought a microsoft and threw it away
when bying a mouse you look for a construction type where the left and right mouse buttons are not 2 seperate plastic parts,but they are connected to the main top shell of the mouse and flow in a uninterrupted piece of plastic.they work better and break seldom
hello everyone!
damn typos
howdy annie
hi annie
I also hope my antihissy pills kick in soon. HI Annie

Hi, Annie
watch your step, crosshair
I hope elegant didn't see that!!
*ignores crossy*
she is sleeping,crossy is bad and snored her out of the bedroom last night
In one of the books I have re:PC"S for Dummies, it said to unscrew the bottom and wipe the parts with alcohol and put the bottom back on. I did and it worked. Mouse glided after that. It was like changing a diaper less the alcohol.
Hi peri!
bad crossy!
thanks Annie, i'll try that before i give it to the cat
:(((
Cross I am beyond saying antihistamine pills
husband is away for the week - I'm getting a blissful amount of sleep!
Cross go sleep on the couch
lucky ata
i offered,put me too near the next door neighbours and i wake them up
new icon, ata :)
help with the 8
with the 8's pls
Wow Ata a whole week to be a complete piggy about the house and have that disgracefully study of yours :D (Said with love)
LOL Crossy!
Put you in the outside Crossie
Is that the rumble I have been hearing, crossy?
I know! *grin*
indeed annie
ca8 ca & US comedy series 'about nothing' **n***l*
i dont care for it either,wake up choking and gasping half the night
CPAP?
no idea what the us comedy series is
ch8 the absolute head leader
Sily is priceless...look at that face!!!
its almost like i can feel the skin at the back of my throat drop down and block things
*grins* isn't she funny!
Jerry, Eileen etc
i know the comedy but you didn't spell it right so i am struggling
ty lynxx
Crossie got that face thingie
ty lyn
me too it's seinfeld, which doesn't work
yes it does EJ
I have given up with Supernatural on TV I am looking at buying it on Amazon
it worked for me
crossy that's is exactly what happens, excess tissue
ditto herin
TY Peri & Guernsey
not as **n***l*
bl
i have a doc appt on 23rd,ill bring it up then
bye peri
have you ever had a sleep study done crossy?
peri, is it a separate episode on Seinfeld re: the ca 8
oh she left
i had one once,but with all the wires and unfamilliar bed,i did not fall deep enough to sleep and results were inconclusive
Ata we got 3 episodes of Supernatural then nothing peed me off
herin could you reclue please now that you know it is spelled seinfeld?
still bemused by seinfeld reference
i am allowed one more though
I have the CH 8 and that other one what is the last?
I always wonder about that, Crossy - sleep studies look so uncomfortable!
I use a CPAP, I hate it but at least I know I won't croak from apnea
Hi there Kiddies.
sorry lynxx could you reclue?
crossy - they can now give you a unit to bring home and you sleep at home, take it back the next day
gotta run...bbl
they are NB
Hi hego
bye sea
if i have a second nb,ill stay up really late,make sure im very tired
hi hego
and if you have to get up to pee, someone has to come and unwire you
st8.40 are frugal people
got it at last
and the home study units are small, you can walk around with them
cheers. Lynx you watching the Pacific?
sounds like more trouble than it's worth, Esprit! I remember spending nights in hospital, and I hated it. I could never sleep
I was selling the surname without the first i , sorry
okay must plow through some more tax returns bbl
selling - spelling
I hate it all too, but it seems a necessary evil
well i am getting tired of this and something needs to be done with it,nothing worse than waking up at 1 am cause the glass of water you drank before bed has now come back into you mouth and you are choking to death on it..ok im done venting
crossy - do ask if they can give you a home sleep test. soooo much easier
Cross we need you about get it sorted.
there are also mouth appiances that just reposition you but don't require a m achine
sounds awful, Crossy :/
i will get it done ladies and gents,im to handsome to die;))
yay for you!! :-D
ive seen those mouth peices esprit.do they work well?
and elegant would like better sleep ;)
Ca 8 to make it cheese
LOL Crossy!!!
I don't know crossy, I know one person who has had success with it but he's the only one
cause i can kick those nasal strips arses
no the nasal strips are not the problem with you (or most of us) it's the throat
Lynxx you watching the Pacific?
there are also sprays that stiffen the tissue, you just spray at night. I don't think they work though
you can google the dental appliances for apnea and see what you can learn
no Infernal
I have that problem from time to time, Crossy.
It is interesting a bit irritated taht is USA focused the whole time
ty jean good idea
greetings folks!!!
Hi MM
HI Movie

Thanks and HI
good morning everyone!!
ty rkb
MOM
Hi {{Herin}}
good morning friends - here's a clue for the mi 8: think of Harry Potter's marauder's map, and what the culprits write when they are finished "mi8 managed"
Hi Mom and RKB
good morning Trif
Hi Triffy
good morning Hego
morning peeps
morning!
good morning GoodEnough
Triffffffffies
Morning all...nice to check in once in a whlle. sun is out and a beautiful looking day here.
Hi GE
diving in!
good luck!
good morning Read Knit Bake
RKB, do you garden?
Then she's be RKBG. lol
LOL.
And very busy.
ooooh - good "name that proper noun" today -- Shakespearean Witch woman
hecate
ding ding ding! full marks for movieman!
lol....i'm just too damn smart
Agreed!
no such thing, movieman!!!
oh this grid is yummy - at least so far
Trifs did you embaris Primo the other night?
I have to say, I'm really getting into this Facebook thing
Really?
a little babbling an no reading...so yeah...I do garden too....too dumb a story to later realize my list of hobbies became my name...I just left it!!! :)
no, not in the least. he cared naught. too excited from the concert. I was SO TIRED yesterday!!!
RKB, I was just asking bec I am sort of still getting the hang of gardening, and I have seen LOADS of people buying up all sorts of stuff at the local garden centers, but methinks it is still a bit early for this zone, yes?
What did he see?
Good time for pansies.
Movie it is addictive at first
concert? ooh, what's this?
good afternoon NancyBoy
A day to remember, shikari something, and two others I can't remember because I am old and scabby.
Nancy are you on FB? We should def become friends!
Hi NB
Yes, Trif. it is....usually Memorial Day is good. When there is NO possibility of frost. My friend who owns a greenhouse goes by the rule: after the full moon in May.
I'm not, Trif - I'm scared of FB! Just far too many people...I use yahoo now though, if you have that :)
Hey, Hego
Primo went to a concert in boston, and he and his friend phoned me at 11:30 pm to say they had "forgotten" to get rides home, and could I come fetch them at the train station? it was 12:30 before the train arrived, and I greeted them in full pink fuzzy bathrobe glamour
Or after Mother's Day.
Thank you RKB
Enter Shikari that sound it?
I wondered that, Herin
Trif...there are some annuals that flaunt that rule though. Pansies are very hardy and can with stand a few cold nights, but dislike heat, so move those pots to another cooler spot once the heat starts. hey we are close..anytime you want me to come and share, I' be glad to.
best part was that about 10 other kids from school were there also, and you should have SEEN the faces on Primo on his friend when I asked them why they hadn't grabbed rides home with one of them. DUH x 2
Thanks RKB!!!
Trifs is that right?
reminds me of hitch-hiking home from the Reading Festival. we all thought it was a reeeeal good idea at the time. You meet some strange souls out at four in the morning!
maybe, herin. Let me go check his tee shirt - I am sure its on the floor somewhere....
ewww Trifs you are a brave woman
Trifs no need I stalked him on FB
it is and what an odd combination
yes. enter skikari. Found shirt on back of chair.
iwould love a clue for the 8 plz.
death metal (ok heavy metal) and a band that sounds like a Green Day rip off
oh, I WISH you guys could see what I am watching out my window - there is a mimosa tree in the yard, on which a young male cardinal is singing his HEAD off, and has been for over 45 minutes, non stop. on the stone wall and the oak trees are 3 female cardinals who could not give less of a shit about his nonsense. poor guy!
Hi MKG, I only have one ... Dennis the Menance was full of mi 8/70
ty. got it.
ty Mom
you're welcome MKG and Hego
Trifs that sounds reverse still it is usually the girls fluffing it up for the boys
LOL Herin. I can't stand Green Day. They're one of the only bands to sound like a really naff tribute to themselves.
I know, right??? it's so funny!!!
I know, right??? it's so funny!!!
I sort of agree, nancy, but Primo LOVES him some green day, so I say naught
oh no, each to their own :) how old is he? he'd probably disapprove of my music taste!
17, and he is musically schizophrenic, just like me. our ipods have a little bit of everything on it. Really, nancy, you should emigrate....I would adopt you in a second, and you would fit right in here at our house
I'm afraid to adopt me you have to adopt Leo as well ;) and his new baby niece, because she is gorrrrgeous. and you'd have to put up with me staying up all night chatting to JC on msn...Leo has complained ;)
does leo do dishes and yard work? LOL
LOL! We're city boys; I don't think we'd know what to do in a yard!
JC?
Not the holy One I presume.
LOL Hego! Not Jesus Christ no ;)
JC...he's on here sometimes, Herin
:-o
the man that made Andree cry, herin. the one we all loooove.
hello Atalante
Is that sarcastic, or serious, Ata?
the guy that knowsALL about dogs
Not knocking your friendship NB but I do wonder what a 50-year old wants with a 19-year old.
very serious Ata. well, the andree bit anyway!
Isn't he not in Melb at the moment?
hello JMC and Sally
Got it now.
ata? lol. duh.
hi i am on hold with the tax software tech people
Hi Mom, and all. Back to finish (I hope).
okay, before this goes any further - he and I are friends; I don't wanna fight about this...so let's not. There's been a disagreement, but I don't want to be the 19-year-old that has to tell everyone to please behave like adults.
Ooh, poor jmc.
thankyou NB
Nancy I am not arguing or what not your choice as to whom you do or don't talk to .. I am asking you is he not in Melb at the moment or OS as the case maybe
Hmmm... I must have missed something here.
he seems like a prtty decent guy but he crossed a line in babble land and angerd quite a few people
I know Herin; wasn't directed at you :) yes, he's somewhere down under!
hi Blueheron
hi blue
I'm glad you are friends, NB. But you can't forget that he badly hurt a lot of our friends here in Babble land, and that's not a good thing
I think he's a love or hate person!
it was just an issue very close to his heart, Jmc...which I can understand because it's close to my heart, too.
right O thank you.
close to mine too. but ....
Nancy I am not your Mum I can't sit here half way across the world and shake my fist at you and go BAD BOY go to my room
amazingly NB many of us in babbleland have issues close to their hearts (me for example) but I know (I think) when to back off
My room?
Shouldn't make people cry.
you want the bad boy to go to your room herin? ;-)
She's no Dummy.
Good Morning - whoa - serious stuff this morning
lol
good morning Momneedshelp
mom
crossy is a bad boy:))
Hi MNH
Maybe (except I thinks that Nancy would rather like my b.f better)
go to my room, crossy!
hi mom I think we are moving on
LOL Crossy.
lol
good morning Crossy
howdy mom
what did you do crossy? *trmbles in fear of answer*
Don't Ask!
do tell crossy
snored my wife right out of the bedroom last night lol
probably herin ;-0
poo that's old news!
lol,in working on new evil,just need a few more minutes lol
look...I have his side and I have your side. Don't make me choose, 'cause I think he's great.
LOL Herin...perhaps ;)
not what I had in mind
No one has to choose. NB
that's better crossy got to keep the process moving
indeed
lord I think I am going have to list early
had to make one of the cats puke up a marble...
ewww! silly cat!
Crossy - ewww!
**whistling** gee these windows need to be washed
Ata is that your cat?
a marble? oh dear
crossy, please tell your wife: my grandpa used to snore something wicked, and it drove my granny nuts. and then he died, and she sa4 she would give up anything to hear that snore again.
silly kid for leaving it laying around
pleasant crossy
It's nice.
ill tell her trif
Good morning all
it was your favorite marble?
howdy bob
I know, Hego, I just don't wanna have to hear it, that's all :)
good morning Mr. Bob
Hi Bob
couldn't wait for it?
hi Mr. Bob
unfortunately, you'll have to on occasions NB. you can never just have 1 side of any story!
todays topics are cardinals,puking cats and snoring bob
Hi Mr Bob
Nancy I am just cheeky :D part of my dirty old lady charm
ROFL JMC
does bob snore too?
not sure
you snore bob?
how would bob know if he snores?
I snore a little.
you sa** he did -- snoring bob is the topic
when i snore it wakes me up
Me too
but it's my understanding this happened a while ago, right? I just like it when everyone's getting along!
a true hard core snorer knows,sore throat,dry mouth,paint peeling off the walls,deaf pets,divorce papers
Move on, Baby.
everyone has to work at it for everyone to get along or else someone has to constantly cave
LOL crossy!!!
All of the above Crossy.
dont make me talk about my scars
Hey Nancy - how is that baby niece - what is her name
Crossy on a roll.
they're calling her Susie, Mom! and she is loooovely, just the cutest little thing I've ever seen! She's gonna have Leo's colouring, I'm sure. So she'll be gorgeous just like him!
awwwww
what eye colour?
nom nom new babies!!! cutest things on earth. word
what is leo's coloring? I need a minds eye view
They turn into teenagers.
cute - you need to put a picture on your profile so we can all gawk
if you are lucky the grow out of being teenagers
mine is a 16 year old deamon spawn from the seventh circle of hell hego
dont I know it Hego - got two of those myself - only yesterday they were cute babies
Let's hope. :-)
who Crossy loves dearly
ok my cats have lost the plot
It's a trap MNH
my son just told me he needs to be independent
well her eyes are blue at the moment, but I think they'll go green like his. And she's got a little bit of hair that's just his shade of brown, and you just know it's gonna wave in the same way his does
pb herin
like herbie from the north pole?
I will when I can get one, Mom! she's only a few days old :)
Who's stopping him?
my son told me that id give him first months rent and open the front door for him lol
need to wait on the eyes - usually change to whatever they will be by 6 months old
Agreed Crossy!
My friends little one just turned 3mths her mum jokingly said 17years 9 mths
customer service just answered brb
At 16 they were all witing for 18 to move out.
wait, I am slow on the jump here, nancy - is it leo's sister or brother that is the parent of susie?
At 18, guess what? Nobody went anywhere.
so your saying i shall be free in 2 years hego? lol
wow jmc - that was a long hold
Read on Crossy
I think I must be the only babyphobic person in the world *sigh*
I used to give my kids ages in months sometimes, but when they were 11 or 12 years old. People just LOVE math! LOL
mm..and i was already planning on turning his room into a study/man cave;)
his sister, Trif :)
You will someday, Crossy.
the family across the street from me has four kids, all over 20, and they are all still living in the compound. they just keep making it bigger. the son married a lady with two little kids last year, and they just moved on in too, and now they have a baby. It's like a clown car, in house form.
wrong department
lol trif,problem is 5/4 people have problems with math;)
I have to go. Great day All.
hmmm. I think the baby may follow her then, nancy. does she look like leo?
on hold again
tc hego
bye hego
bye hego
I seem to have hit a wall with words. Guess that is a sign to start the housework. {{Hugs}} to all of you
bye bye Hego

bye for now mom.
bye Mom

cant get any ac words except first one. help!!!!
yep Trif! he keeps textsending me excited little texts about her (he's still visiting) - you'd think she was the only baby he's ever seen!
*pulls handfulls of hair out of head*
run,do not walk to the nearest h+r block
can't crossy i am the tax preparer
hate h&r block which robs their clients through return anticipation loans
*wanders past chog, sees NB, runs in and gives him a big giant SMOOCH*
pack a lunch sit in their office and look pitiful and maybe they will squeeze you in jmc
"textsending"...that should have been "sending"!
oh...
I think it is wonderful you are both so excited about Leo's niece - says alot about both of you
ac4/5-pain in your head & pt
*recieves giant SMOOCH* Eva, dahling, you're looking wonderful as always!
I just saw baby kitty pics
ive certainly FELT better than i do today, but thankyou for saying, dearest. :)
ahhh it's always fun to be able to write reports that legitimately include pirates chopping peoples heads off
thanks, Mom :) he's come over all paternal, it's adorable
oh no Eva - illness, tiredness or hangoverness?
mental illness, methinks. forgot my purse at home this morning, so i have no money + no allergy meds. oversteeped my tea this morning, and ive just come out all kinds of forgetful today!
very cool report ata
ugh, I hate days like that. Although there is a distinct correlation between those days and hangover days for me :/ call the fiance and DEMAND that he fetches your purse for you! ;)
Eva go home and go back to bed
if only that were an option -- we work about an hour apart from one another, and of course, i made it all the way into the office before realizing it. *le sigh*
Eva, you sound overtired and stressed.
Ata how do you get Silly to be so cute
*sigh* i fixed my software problem waiting on hold
ermmmmm lol! no idea. She just came that way :D
bbl
I just saw pics of my friends kitten so cute
bye jmc - got to go myself - later folks
awwwww
see ya, Mom!
Well dear babble friends, without noticing I've realised I have fireworks, so I must be off to do something useful. Hugs to everyone.
Later Momn
See KITTies: http://tinyurl.com/y2lmf8a
i asked chris if i could come home and go back to bed and have a do-over for today...heh
you should have done, Eva ;)
right...well I'm gonna go off and do some cleaning. Later, all!
Eva that was me monday and four coffees today
(((huggles NB))) coming back later, darling?
Later Nancy
im not much of a coffee gal, sadly, herin. and without my allergy meds, im gonna be a sniffly, sneezing mess today!
yaa1 did my manly/man chore for the day.fixed the hot water tap in the tub.ten minute job,took 6 months to get to..perfect;0
okay, I need to away as well. nbt, and nbs, and I chatted with several good babble pals, so it was a worthwhile visit. enjoy that yummy baby, nancy dear!
Loves Trifs
sounds about right, crossy!
tc trif
if we did all these things right away ata,you would just load us down with work,this way we look like incompetant boobs..we are dumb,but we are not so dumb;0
crossy -- care to check a few things in the house i rent out? theres a running toilet and a leaky kitchen faucet...
*grin*
those leaky faucets kill your bottom line eva
dont i know it! wondering if its an easy fix, or better to replace the whole faucet.
especially if it is utilities included,tennamts will het a hot water tap drip for years and never tell you
Wow. "Shari'ah Integrated Into Muslim Mindanao's Plan for Sustainable Forests" how on earth does shari'ah law apply to keeping trees alive!
easy fix eva
Crossie I would have given up waiting and done it myself
Running dunny is easy to fix
runny toilet too?
easy fix again
try #1 for the "dunny" lol love that word....
where the metal arm from the float connects to the rest of the innards,right on top you will see a screw....give it a half turn clockwise
barring that the shuttlecock(the rubber plug at the bottom of the holding tank needs to bhe changed
hey everyone, back to find more words
and if it is single flush lob half a brick in it to save water
or a water filled soda bottle
better yet,go to the hardware store,spend 85 dollars and get a low flow toilet and 2 packs of wax gaskets..will save you tons of water
i went from a 12 gallon flush to a 2 gallon flush
alas, im not able to get out there to fix the toilet myself, so im telling her to call a plumber. *grumbles*
low flow toilets pay off in 2 months
if your doing that eva,buy a low flow toilet and give it to him to put in
trust crossy
get wax,not rubber floor gaskets
I have a book on how to do the manly things that men never do as they are too slack
your my hero herin;)..come shingle my roof please
heh, im normally fairly handy -- one year, i was SO excited because my brother gave me a power-drill for christmas. :)
bite me
we replaced every single toilet in the apt building as fast as we could toss the old ones out the window and get the low flows in lol
I can operate and fix commercial air compressors, that's my man-things limit!
lol i dont care for tough meat herin dear;) just playing with you;)
:D
we all have our strengths
I need a proper ''lets clean the elephant'' shower head and gas hotwater tank
im putting in a euro shower head;)
it has this great wide head and comes out on this armature so you can have it pointing straight down like a rain shower
those are fab
never had one till now,ill install it...in 6 months;)
now I need to get my arse into gear and bitch the landlord into submitting to gas hot water
get him to put in one of those new tankless hot water systems
unlimited hot water
ooo lovely
and uses less space
it is about the size of a small bar fridge
and hangs off the wall
avout 9 inches deep
I will pay the money for the system in exchange for rent staying the same. I could cry at the amount of electric we are paying
this way you are not heating 40 gallons of water all the time
err Crossy we heat the bloody tank in the roof 24/7 continuous cost no off peak
$300 a quater
ouch
with a on demand heater the average home will save 300 per year so in 3 years you have it paid for,plus endless hot water
imagine a 1 hour shower,,,lol
yep I know it is bad when you think that would be like every light on in the house
you using pig tail light bulbs?they last for 4 years and save 50 dollars in hydro over the life of the bulb,for each bulb
Cross every light in this house is green lighting fridge is 4 star and no dryer
then it is the hot water heater alone that is killing you
plus any air conditioning
on demand heater for static rent is a fiar trade and you will get better end of deal
Do I understand that you are complaining about an electric bill of $300 per quarter?
300 per quarter is CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP, at least by standards here.
Hi DC
we paid twice that for the Winter.
hi :)
Lawyer this is for 2 people
my lowest bill for any month is in excess of $200...for 2 people
lol dc,im not going to scare her with our winter heat bills up here
we're 2 people, and our winter bills are lower than the summer ones.
my high, achieved 2 years ago, was in excess of $600 for 1 month
up here at one place we heat with wood/hydro combo and spend 350 per month
and aussie $ are less than US $ ..
and my wife bitches that it is too cold in the house
my wife is always frozen;(
but, crossy, u live on the frozen tundra
we wear sweaters and sit under blankets in the Winter
lol lawyer
Well I just found out we are being ripped off guess who is going on lawyer on their arse tommorrow
but herin IS in Australia! meant to be warm there! :P
point, ata
O and dont for get that our bills pretty much strip most of our income
Ata the reason it is high is Electric hot water tank in roof
Hello all
you get income too?!?!?
our home is all electric, hence the high bills.
we have gas heat, and it is still outrageous
nope
husband wants to put photovoltaic panels in roof so we can sell electricity to the national grid
I am thinking of asking Iran to help me build a small nuclear reactor in my basement for my power.
purely for peaceful purposes
ask N korea,i think they have several now
no thanks. at least I've been to iran b4
have you? when?
when they accepted Americans there
was it amazing or awful?/ I'd love to go there
a week after my last visit there, they firebombed the hotel I was sin....the beginning of their revolution
iu try to avoid places where the locals are trying to remove themselves from the gene pool
it was both, Ata. no middle class....either rich or poor
fortunately, I hung around with the rich
I can imagine. I love Iranian art and architecture, I'd love to see it in place
my favorite was visiting the bank that housed the crown jewels...just unbelieveable!
wow!!! that must have been a sight
as long as u didn't mind being followed by a plainclothes cop
I just told the b.f that the company that charges us for electricity have told us they don't offer off peak but their information pamphlet does and I will ring in the am and quote it to them as well as if they say no inform them of the act and section of it they are breaching
grim and gun toting, or just doing their job?
go get em herin:)
both...I leaned on a railing around an exhibit. A guard tapped me on the shoulder and shook his head "no". I got the hint
good idea to get those sort of hints
did you go with work? sorry, being nosey, am fascinated with the Middle East
u prolly would have enjoyed my visit to the tea museum
absolutely! tea is good too :D
yes, it was work. Every time I went there, I had a driver to take me around. I had time to kill, so the two of us went to the tea museum
do they do the sickly sweet turkish type tea?
He spoke no English, and my Farsi was limited to counting and calling someone a bastard.
that's all you need, especially when you can't ask for a beer
I am jealous Lawyer. Ok I must away. It is 1am and I get a sleep in NO alarm for the am yah.
We sat on pillows on the floor in front of a fountain and were served tea in glasses with leaves at the bottom. you hod a sugar cube between ur teeth and sip the tea thru the cube
loves
lovely! too sweet, but lovely!
so we shared the tea and each other's company in silence...very relaxing and enjoyable
that does sound lovely
good night, herin
for a contrast, I had caviar and fixings with vodka in the Royal Suite of the Royal Tehran Hilton. Caviar doesn't taste any better anywhere else
gosh. I do envy you all those experiences. I hope one day I can go to Iran. But I'm sure a very changed Iran.
no way would i go back now. At the time, I was a director of a company there. My name was registered with the govt. as a director. I am quite sure I would not be welcome there.
*sigh* the world really is screwed up
can I get an "amen" on that?
amen!
would love to go to Iraq too *sigh*

my as5's seof-seeded to the next level of the garden, all around the fig tree
self-*
nice, ruby
I love when plants find their own niches
we are experiencing that with dune sunflowers.. popping up all over this year
how are they different from regular sunflowers?
low growing and bushy
and small flowers
Oh how intersting, wonder if we can get them over here! Greetings all
oh, nice! we have many many sprouted sunflower seeds under the bird feeder and I think I'm going to plant them as soon as frost is finished
FM!! nice to see you (-: hope all is well..
do birds eat their seeds?
haven't seen that, ruby.. the seeds are tiny
must serve dinner, see you later!
good morning everyone
hi flosey
hi flosey, bye ruby
yes ruby, they love the sunflower seeds
Hi Aloy all is well although the day is a tad grey but mild. Hi flosey and Boo
FM!!
isn't this the cleaning lady day, FM?
Ata!!!!!! No that was yesterday Aloy but just had a message that she has found a full time job and the replacement will be male - not sure how I feel about that.
h'mm, a cabana boy cleaner?
hey thre FM
has welki been on today?
Hi peri!
Now there is a thought! but seriously I feel a bit strange about having a male cleaner but have not particular reason why.
there is a recipe for Unstuffed Cabbage Casserole in my profile. It turned out really well and I promised welki I would I would put it there. If you see here please tell her it is available.
because it's a random man in your home. It's different!
yikes, what lousy typing
yes I thikn you are right Ata Lol peri.
need another break, bbs
well give it a go, if you feel uncomfortable, tell them and ask for a female cleaner
once upon a time we had a cleaning lady who sometimes had her husband come too to help, but have never had a male cleaner .. i agree, it is different, need to think about it
Ata that pic of Sily makes me smile every time I look at it, she is just so geourgous!
:D:D
can't believe I missed the sea bird.. but fireworks now. Any clues needed before I go (my cleaning lady didn't show up, lol)
Congrats Aloy!! LOL. No clues needed here.
ooh, FM.. any garden progress to report?
Not yet but I will let you know :)
yeah aloy
okie dokie.. our mustard greens have bolted, the cilantro has also bloomed.. the onions are almost ready.. and it is getting too hot for the collard greens.. veggie blooms are pretty too
Getting too hot - unfamilliar words to me so far this year!
hot? where?!
sw fla, Ata
*sigh* my little plot is so far behind I am still waiting for the tulips to grow up and bloom.
awwwww
love tulips, something to look forward to then.. well, must bid you all ttfn, other mountains to conquer today (-: be good, FM (( ))
Bye aloy see you soon!
clue for the si6 please
Hows Hobbity today Ata?
snoring :D
she has a smart new pink collar!
Pink? What happened to purple or is that so last year?
last year, dahling
it was getting old and worn
pic on flickr
si + to go into a room minus the 1st letter
thanks fm - thought I had tried that - must have typo'd
oh very pretty in pink :)
yw Mom
she does look pretty :D
Ata what do you think of the new Dr Who series so far?
what a sweet baby ATA sporting her new collar
haven't seen Saturday's yet. C wouldn't let me watch! LOVED the first one though
I am not sold on it at all, it has lost its lutre for me.
she's funny, she loves her collars. She always looks smug with a new collar. And when you take her collar off, she always tries to find it and bring it to me!
does anyone have the se6 - I am struggling with those 6's today
really? awwww :(
umm se + frozen water with a cons insterted just before the end.
I know, I so want to like it but am just not getting the feel yet.
thanks much FM
glad to help Mm
I love Matt Smith. I loved him from the first moment though, so I'm kinda biased
lol
He has yet to convince me but I will watch on.
Oh have you seen any of the new Heston Blumethal banquest series? 2 have aired so far and they have been amazing.
I haven't ... should I?
100 left... back to work. find those words so you can help me later LOL
Bye for now jmb
WEll his creations are incredible and the prog is hugely entertaining, last nights theme was Fairy Tales
ooo wow. boar's heads!
Haz is out shopping for portacabins today, she left this morning with cheque book in hand.
ooooooo! lol I wonder why you thought of Haz
No reason, meant to mention it earlier.
oh! I thought it was my bad ' :P
you should see what Heston did with the cocks testicles.
*raises hand* I've seen them, FMitch! I love me a bit of Heston ;)
He is just so OTT in his dedication to trying everything isn't he NB?
oh he's crazy. Although my little vegan heart was slightly broken by the boar's head :(
however, I WANT that house he made for the dessert!
did he really do a boar's head? coool
The modified or end version was a little easier to cope with and at least he didn't use the real eye.
Oh god yes, now that was a childhood dream come true!
although that one female guest was very annoying. "ewww, I can't eat tongue", etc...if you're going to be like that, what's the point of being one of Heston's guests?! silly woman.
Did you see the Willy Wonka one NB?
Sadly I missed it D: I can only imagine though...
complete with lickable wallpaper.
and Ata - kind of. Tried a real stuffed boar's head first, and then modified it to make it look more appealing...
I just find his level of creativity facinating.
same - that's why I watch it, in spite of obvious complaints ;)
although I would draw the line at eating his snail porridge.
ERM yes :D
Anyway, how is life going NB, hope all is well?
Where has Ata gone?
sorry, pup wanted a wee!
oh yes, thank you, FMitch! Swimmingly :) Although...just recently we have become uncomfortably aware that our neighbours across the way can see riiiight into our bedroom (awkward!), so we keep walking around behaving like characters in a 1920s play. But how are you and yours?
lol NB
hmm.. hope you put on a few shows for them
lol re the image of you and Leo as characters in a 1920s play, I am sure you would both be so debonair!
Hey ruru!!!
if you live in Soho, any neighbours can't be exactly prudes
good afternoon lovely FM
Hi, Ruru!
hiya NB
hi ruru! hi dylan!
ruru you are so smooth :)
Hi Ata!
you're right Ata, which is indeed a blessing ;) however...I've never blushed so hard in my life.
LOL NB
Back in a mo.
clue for ni5/10 (first one) please
having a big party night up in London on Friday. But not on Soho
oh cool, Ata! where abouts will you be?
I have a story you'll get a kick out of NB
am trying to persuade friends to go to Levant for dinner - is a gorgeous gorgeous Middle East restaurant off Wigmore Street. Then Marylebone
oh yeah, Ruru? :) do tell!
then bumming round Waterloo waiting for the first trains back home!
you're a woman after my own heart Ata ;) before I moved here I was regularly seen slumped outside the underground as the sun rose!
When I was much younger (actually closer to your age) I used to go out with an older woman who own a gorgeous apartment overlooking SF...she had these bay windows and often our extra-ciricular activities would happen in her living room until one night we noticed a neighbor with binoculars checking out the action..lol
hello all
lol yep! thank goodness for the stations being open 24 hours! I love Victoria for that. Must remember to bring a respectable change of clothes, am having to go straight down to Dover for a sponge identification course!!
OMG, Ruru!! I suppose you should feel flattered, LOL
Hi, Peri!
no.. just pretty embarassed
Hope you took a bow ruru
how much money did they make from the videotapes?
( I think only Paris Hilton owns them now)
heading off to lunch - catch you all later
as was I. I went red down to my toes and mumbled something about curtains. The woman told me that she liked my tattoo. For shame!
LOL NB
where's the tattoo?
see you later, Mom :)
have a good lunch Mom
It begins in the lower abdomen area and goes, erm, down
NB!
oh my goodness
oh my!
help with fi6 pls
sounds painful
not THAT far down! just...down!
Wasn't that painful?
spanish party peri
what a time for peri to show up..lol
got it, Fm, ty
(breaks out smelling salts)
yw peri
It doesn't go down as far as you're all thinking, it's just in that general...vicinity. But yes it was painful getting it done!
no smelling salts needed here :)
(atta girl!)
I can't imagine getting that tattooed. In fact, I REFUSE to imagine it.
they do it in SF ... ouch
eeew
ouch, indeed
(heard stories)
NB, do you have any body piercing?
*grimaces* I think you'd have to be mad.
this however is fab - WARNING! you can imagine what the pic is - http://www.americas-best.com/graphics/ pics_pierced-penis.jpg
right ruru :-)
OMG must check that out, brb
it's actually very very cleverly done
just looking at the po
oooh, it's an apadravya
just looking at the photo and now realise I will need to show it hubby otherwise he will think I am looking at porn when I am off sick lol
looooool
its art, dear :P
LOL Katie!
at least I think it's an apadravya. But you have to have serious backbone to get one of those done...!
and yes, Peri, I do, but just my nipple. So far...
absolutely! *ouch*
Good havens what a pic Ata, that must have taken some time and pain to achieve that!
(I think Ruru has either fainted or is observing a minute's silence...)
I can't look.
just a bit! damn clever idea though
(hates needles and such)
At least when one gets a piercing or tattoo in that general area, the pain detracts from the embarrassment! Mostly...
(when I had my tattoo done I was too busy crushing Leo's fingerbones to dust to feel that embarrassed)
I just design the things and watch other people going through the pain :D
LOL! the best way to be, Ata, but I love my little lion and all that he stands for ;)
clue for fi 5/20
f + frozen water with a cons insterted before the end
Ata - did you say you were planning to get yours on your wrist?
ty FMitch
in theory - lol .... going onto the back of my hand. maybe. though I hate needles and pain. Great place to choose ...
I was going to say! mine hurt worst over my hip. bones seem to do it.
I'm a wimp, don't even have pierced ears.
I wasn't expecting it to hurt, FMitch! I thought it'd sting a bit and have some pressure to it, but amazingly the needle going into my skin felt like...a needle going into my skin!
shocking that :P
Know whaqt that feels like - was in hospital for a while and had enough needles and stuff stuck into me.
ugh, FMitch. I can only take it for beauty reasons; not health reasons ;)
Just realised the time, have a few things to tie up before the working day is over. TTFN and Happy Babbling.
see you later, FMitch :) take care!
bye dear!
i am a blank canvass
did you see that prog the other day NB about a man who made himself into a cat-man through tats and piercings?
yes
ewww, no I didn't, Ata! I've seen it advertised though...gross!
quite quite bizarre
he did everything without anaesthetic. eeep
stuff like that is crazy to me. I like having my one tattoo that just sort of celebrates something special to me, but I could never do ANYTHING like that!
I think cats were special to him ...
in a somewhat overly obsessive way!
LOL. I'll save mine for humans I think ;)
wonder if he eats cat food
in fact, if you think about it, I'm lucky to have someone whose name provokes such a gorgeous tattoo. If I was with a Brian or something, I'd have real problems. So I like my 'Leo' lion!
wouldn't be surprised
Gordon would be a difficult one to make pretty
quite. if it hadn't been Leo I think it would have been initials ;)
lol yes
hmmm. darn, I really want him home now! better go get ready for work though I suppose...see you later, all :)
have fun!

Hi (((Mom))))...the children are fighting again
may I please have a clue for the da 7/36 after the not the mama
{{Annie}} so glad you are back
children, children, children :)
*points at Ata* she started it! shes calling me names!
*throws flowers at eva*
SEE?!?!
da 7/36 = 2nd da 4/6 + mi 4/5-m
scrolling back
da7.36-----in the style of da4/6 painting
Eva? How do I do a 20s style make-up?
thank you Lawyer 1 (and hello) and Annie
yw
Eva, Atalante asked you a question nicely. come out from behind the plant and help her. :)
SEE? She's horrid
Ata, you'll have to stop throwing the flowers as well
I did. Aagggggges ago
lol
Eva .... I know you are back there
don't make me get up out of this chair and get you
looool
Uhoh
she hates me
look, if the poor girl is old enuf to remember the makeup in the 20's, she moves slowly
though why she was then stalking me, I'm not sure
oh geez, the most disgusting commercial is on tv .... colon flow
ewwwwww
who is stalking you?
you can try it free for 30 days and just pay shipping and handling. Which they don't say how much that is
Eva!
Hi {{Katie}}
do I have to ask what colon flow is?
i wouldnt ...
phew i thought it was the mad woman from the weekend!
I had the sound turned down on the Tv (thankfully) so I am not sure if it is tablet, liquid or what but I think it is self explanatory
who is that Katie?
Thank God we don't get adverts like that over here
luckily, no! last time we met she informed me that she'd never met me before anyway!
sowwy, got pulled away *scrolls back through chog*
How long have you been married>
don't Eva
7 years! and she's met me loads of times
What Mad Woman?
I would rather not get those kind of commercials
:::::::::: that was my rendition of colon flow
lol Lawyer
im not a makeup guru. most of the "pinup" makeup ive had was really based more outta the 50s, not the 20s, and i never did my own...
i would think heavier eyebrows, dark eyeliner and red lips, but otherwise rather pale...
clue for si 6/18 pls
my Ex's father forgot my name when we had been living together for 10 years!! When we broke up he wrote me to say that he hoped our friendship wouldn't suffer from the break up.........seriously deranged!
hmmmm, that's what I was thinking, Eva. Just wondered if you knew!
LOL!
Katie, LOL
oh, Annie, husband invited an old friend over for the weekend, even though I'd asked him not to because I don't like her. Apparently she was more important to accommodate than my feelings!
si 6/18 = s+i 5/10 to bury
see, Ata stops accusing me long enough to ask me question. ;)
oh Ata, that is just not nice
Ata, pooh on him. Not nice at all.
and somehow it was my fault for not being nice enough to be happy at her arrical
*arrival
seriously? wow
Ata, I am getting steamed just reading about it. You do not have to put up with that.
i thought that he had decided she was a mad bitch after she said the weekend wasn't worth the effort
yes - but then karma struck
and she phoned him up after she left saying that his company wasn't worth the exortionate train fare. LMAO!
:), jaw dropping
and I shouldn't laugh, but its SO funny
Sounds like something my EX husband would have done. Yes, it is funny but she should not have been there in the first place.
what was his response?
now, that I don't know. He didn't say!
Too embarrassed?
he ought not pin it on you though
I think so!
I wasn't there during the weekend - I went up to sisters, refused to be in the house while someone I disliked so much was there!
Good for you!
Ditto.
just refused. and he had a horrid weekend. karma.
gotta love that Karma
and you had an absolutely lovely weekend
yep!
we had a mad bitch but we faced her together. The final straw was when she phoned Bry on our wedding day crying because she wasn't very well and couldn't come luckily enough he recognised her for a mad one and we haven't had anything to do with her since!
urf!!!!
**shaking head** good for Bry
Ata, is that Silverclaw in your picture?
fireworks
yes, it is :D
isn't she smug and pretty!
she is very pretty
congrats, boo
she looks happy
she looks rather plump there, she's not really!
how old is she?
bye everyone. See you tomorrow.
bye bye Boo, did you finish?
yes you did, I scrolled down. Congrats
yes i fiished
good for you
congrats boo
hi all!
Hi SG
doing a fascinating assignment, Katie. About Philippines and Indonesian marine management plans. Makes a difference to the reality of things when people can die of hunger depending on planning and management ...!
what about the cnidarians?

the reefs? so degraded around the Philippines

Hi Science Geek and Hurshy

I don't have that one Annie, just the one you clued for me earlier
Oh there's two da7---I need the second one

I have that one SG
ok that is the only one i have found
it is after the platform
sister reused to watch it lol
refused!
It's my last word, *sigh*
who ever thought i'd be in a position to give YOU spoilers!
i didn't find it as good as the first one, quite, because i really loved particularly the scene where he confronted the atraxi, but it was good.
I will save that word for later...bye.
not going to be able to watch next one at the right time either, so I'm saving last week's up and I'll watch the 2 together next week
bye bye Annie

small children engage in mi8
ty for that, bichon
dc, ???
mi8 = children get into mi8 when not supervised!
oh doh, ty both april and dc
i'd not had the mi8 til you asked for it - didn't know there was one :)
glad I could be of assistance
i got the ch8 from that, too :) though it is only vaguely related
I had an amazing experience today. I went for a long walk on this beautiful spring day. I live in sort of a semi-rural area, outskirts of a small city. I didn't take Biscuit on the walk cause he's old and ailing. A coyote crossed the road about 100 feet head of me. I looked around and saw some male turkeys in the field with their tails ruffed up. They must have warned the coyote off. Glad I had no fluffy white thing with me
cool bichon, and good evening all
Didnt you take the opportunity to get your thanksgiving dinner into the freezer!!
I don't think I'd want to mess with a wild turkey. They are fierce
wild turkeys are scary
once while camping, i went for a walk and stepped into a clearing at the exact same time as a coyote. it was magical. we both stopped and he watched to see what i would do. when i didn't move, he continued on his way.
I just happen to have a wild turkey feather on my wall- I have family in America and one found a load of feathers and gave me one for a souvenier ) i before e eeer!!)
neat, deeha
In Nova Scotia, a little while back, coyotes killed a hiker. Usually they are pretty shy around humans
deeha! Why does Deal not have ANY signs on how to get out of the place??!!
My brother was on a campsite-reading- and a huge moose walked through - knocken the table Davids cat was sleeping on - he got up and retired to the camper to finsh his snooze!!
i wonder if it was rabid
SAtalante - who ever would want to LEAVE Deal!!!!!
the moose? or the coyote?
moose are huge - hitting one totals big trucks
LOLOL. I totally got lost trying to leave it the other day! I drove round in circles! NO SIGNS!!
i had the same experience in Hinkley last week, Ata. hi all, by the way.
ca 7?
When we first got here we went to Sandwich - coming out we got lost- went deeper and deeper into the country-it was 7 miles there - 23 miles back!!
loooool at least SAndwich has signs!!
ca7 = feline + pepper**** or spear****
bichon, another word for feline nip
I walked from the top of Deal up to Sandwich Bay estate. Gorgeous walk!
Where is Sandwich?
ty pythonx
next to Ham :P
Believe it or not is is close to Ham!!!
Why can't you ever go hungry at the beach?
You beat me to it!!
Cause of all the Sand-which is there
yw, bichon
:D:D
I actually found Ham the other day too!
Ho ho ho Bichon have you been reading the jokes in Christmas crackers!!
it's a dumb joke my hubby and I always tell. That's what happens when you're married almost 39 years
I am amzed Canterbury wasnt on the saigns. I suppose you take the road to Ramsgate then branch off
it really isn't, it's so silly! there's no signs until you get out of Deal onto the London road / main road to Sandwich!
can anyone help with the first di5/14 please?

Hello Everyone - just stopping in to say HI - anyone need help
Hi all
hi wht
Hi everyone!
hi brookie
Mom, do you have a clue for the is6,24? I have the one that describes sheets.
Hi mom!
is + **** (4/6) pet
Thank you mom. That gives me fireworks.
hooray for wht
yeah wht! (still working on the is6)
It is a seedy kind of pet, Brookie
grows hair (weeds actually) that looks like an animal
I hear tell it grows on you.
all kinds of animal shapes now - who knows there may be exotic ones too
Got it, thanks!
I was looking for pets like "dog", "bird,", and "ferret" (phantom) and wasn't get anywhere!
I didnt want to give away the first two letters that easily - need anything else
I'm not even halfway through... unless you want to guess on all the remaining 112 words I'm missing and provide clues... haha
is the ca 8/65 a compound word?
Mom, I got it right away - but I only needed the one word and had found the pet earlier.
i'm done - just watching the chog while watching my biggest loser recording from last night
Brook, I see in your profile that you have two young boys. They probably get into a lot of mi8
is the ca 8/65 a compound word?
great clue! actually, they're pretty good, but who knows what they'll think of when they get older!
and not much they will ad5/14 to
the ca8 is not a compound.
i would not say so
It would be the process of turning something into a ca4,5
similar to classi****
My monkeys got lucky on it. Its the only way I would have found it.
wht and I are a clue team
thanks mom, still working on that clue. i'm just so tired tonight that my brain's not functioning properly!
thanks I'll work on those clues
where you look for good deals for sale
similar to that but work off of a former word
So a lawyer has a bunch of papers. He thinks that if he leaves them sit long enough they will become ca8 and he can take them to court.
thanks got it finally!
hello babble friends!
hey EB
Hi Trif
hi.
Hi trif!
Hi trif and ak
HI aknitter
waving to all
havent met you yet
another northeaster
hey trif have you ventured up to the pond?
not personally, but gary and drew were there. NO BEACH at all, and apparently a chipmunk got in the basement. fun!
the lower road to peter's is flooded out. you cant even drive over there. little west has completely surrounded the legion building
fun! well, it will likely dry out some before the summer. it always does.
quite a mess
indeed
how is the pond you live on?
high as an elephants eye! the river that the herring journey up from the canal is all over the place. i fear the fishies wont find their way this year
break out the lemon herbs!
awww
in other news, I threw my back out today in spectacular fashion. I have never hurt my back before, and MAN I am just in agony. my mom had to come over and help me and everything. I am trying to rest up tonight as much as I can, as I HAVE to work tomorrow....
you know you are getting much to old to be doing things like this. how did you do it?
shoveling compost
Trif - ice, ice, ice to take down the inflamation. Some ibuprofen will help.
I know the feeling Trif, that stuff can be heavy
I found a bottle of oxycontin from 2008 under my bathroom sink. that's helping too.
shoveling contin or codone???
yes that will do it for pain
contin, maybe? I forget now, and I am incapable of getting down under the sink again. I cannot believe how much this hurts.
if it is contin it will do you better in about 12 hours so be wary
what does that mean, knitter?
that is a long acting form it takes awhile for it to work - tomorrow you will feel pain free
oxycontin is sustained release oxycodone is for immediate pain relief
hang on....
my hubby threw his back out trying to open a frozen shut garage door. He was on the couch for 6 weeks before the doctor gave him steroid shots
six weeks? I have to be better tomorrow. I am getting nervous
he had ruptured a disc. The selling had to go down before a shot would work
i totally understand back pain - I have a disk issue and deal with it daily - Monthly visits to a chiropractor keep in in line. Be careful for several days Trif even though you feel better. Meds will mask the pain. Make sure you ice it. Heat feels good but ice will help with inflamation.
it's oxycodone with acetaminophen
thanks all
i feel for you trif - back pain sucks
why would you mix a narcotic with acetaminophen, just curious
I am so grateful to not have had it before
and I was having a great day up until then, too!
the acetimnophen is probably a very mild anti-inflamatory
I don't think so. It's Tylenol, a powerful pain reliever. Ibuprophen is an anti-inflammatory
I dont really know - i dont use tylenol - good to have a well rounded group here to educate us all
that is percocet triff it is ok to take
I know Tylenol as a fever reducer and a pain reliever. It's not a narcotic, but is very potent and must be taken with care
must go now - need to pick up daughter at dance - may bbl - happy babbling
just dont operate any heavy machinery (cranes, forklifts etc)
will do. I have to drive to work tomorrow, but I don't plan on taking any more meds, so should be okay? I can take it at night, but that's it
take it to sleep and see how you are in the morning. just be careful you don't over do at work and make it worse
I don't have to lift anything at work, so it's all good.
May I please have a clue for mi6-27? Thanks.
now, could I have a clue for the ca 8 please?

Good Evening all Babblers! How is all?
hi red.
Hi TO how are you?
fine ty
just got off the phone with my loopy mom :(
Hi red
and you?
mi 6.27????
good, weird, I got a new job and also got a very very good evaluation at the job I dislike today, feels awkward.
do math incorrectly
sum incorrectly
ok, time to move on. happy babbling, all
congrats ( I guess) > I guess you have to look at it as even if you don;t like the job they really appreciate your work
Hello again
see you TO
always good to get a good eval. bye TO
hi lynxxx
Congrats Red - was it one of the 2 jobs you wanted? You must have been doing a great job no matter how you were feeling
mi 6./21 number 2 please
it is the third choice, but it is better than where I am at.
mi6 consumed incorrectly
Red - will you still apply for the other 2 jobs?
thanks again
the applications are still in, I have not officially accepted anything yet.
Nor resigned. it was a very odd eval.
well goodluck, hope whatever you accept will make you happier
do you have a time frame you have to decide by?
I think it shall, I am surely hoping for it.
I need to see the offer, and decide I am still waiting, but I have low hopes about some things.
I haven't seen you in a while red, is this the job youoriginally moved to FL that you are unhappy in?
not really. I was a contracted traveller, so I have been at a bunch of places. Right now things are a little bit tight even for nurses, so, its frustrating, but a very long long story, and not interesting.
errr DEDICATE is a big phantom.
I hope you get the position you really like, lfe is too short to be unhappy at work
I kept looking for dessicate
boy.. I am going to need a lot of help again to finish.

nope, is there a hot bods dot com?
oh i am just deep in grid...
*trying to wrap my head around ruru's comment and not make it dirty*
it's actually more like the weed they go crazy over. smells just like mi4
just made that up, nutty
(mind in the gutter that one)
bugger, i thought i'd try it
i thought you and jade had a bet on who would get a date first.
there must be some derivative of that in the painstop spray I bought. It helped my back, however my cat bit me and scratched my back til I got up and showered so it was not very effective
lbd goes to pb post haste
actually, i think it was who could rack up the most whacky propositions
shouldn't be here anyway, need to get a snack and head off to bed. someone please pass that link along to crossy?
beth, our cat goes crazy over any kind of mint too. to the point where when you just brush your teeth, be careful around her.
aargh...heads off to pb! bad me!
glad i have dog.
di 7/32 please?
and the winner is? (nut or jade?)
toothpaste doesn't bpther her but menthol sends her over the edge

how appropriate for me
whoooooo hooooooo RU!!!
well a partot is an odd pet!
are you feeling blond, ru?
very blonde and blind too
oops...got distracted
back again. more DRAMA with primo and his former gf. I am SICK of the whole thing!!!
is dylan rubbing off on you, ru?
naw.. he's smarter than me
he is really very affectionate and smart. If you do not have experience around birds it is always a surprise as to how expressive they are
need to see pictures of the furball, ru
poor trif. teenage angst...
me neighbour has a bird that lives on the screened in porch, it always whistles at me and the dog as we go by...its a little odd.
gawd help us all! I would not go back to the teenage years for all the tea in china
you have to try and stay as far away as you can with the teenage drama, Trif. Unless she is being stalkerish or otherwise criminal
oh, red, you should see the cardinal in my yard! he sits in this tree and sings his head off all day, and the female cardinals in the yard could not give less of a shit. It is so funny! poor little cardinal boy.
red, he probably just wants you to notice him. We used to have an african grey that would yell "Hey, Hi.Hey" at passersby until they would say hello to him. then he was fine
bethn, she has def crossed into stalkerville. and primo's new gf is a BITCH.
he's singing the wrong song! silly birdyboy
it's funny. the whistle...
the cardinal one? Yes, it is a funny, loopy sort of song, isn't it?
I'm sorry, that is really rotten, Trif. I was very lucky all my son's girlfriends have been lovely. We are hoping this one is THE one (much later please) she is a real gem
stalkerville is scary
yes, the cardinal is singing the wrong song.
hopefully the new girl will be bitchy enough to your son that he will tire of her quickly and make a better choice next time
grid is killing me!
thanks bethn
Primo needs to get involved in sports and just hang with the guys. leave the girls on the sidelines
whatcha need, red?
71 words.
lots of luck IBD
once they find girls they never go back to sports only
I am stuck with 75 to go, and can't seem to budge. I should prob go grab the list, that usually helps me break a gridlock
salt peter?
that is a much better suggestion
I gotta get list but want to move down to at least 60 left, otherwise the list is too confusing.
they do sports.. just different kinds of sports bethn
bedroom olympics don't count, ru!
Any clues for the S in the right hand lower corner. please.
yes, mixed greco roman wrestling in the nude the way god intended
oh, god help us all, lbd!!!!
ahhh found one.
s+ti4 then pl
got them all thanks.
s+ colors come in hues and lighter shades called t****
I didn't start having sex until I was 13.. how old is primo.. (watches Trif faint)
thanks lbd!
ruru!!! I am not discussing that on the chog!
sorry.. *giggle*
my son left sports, found performing, joined a group called "chicks dig singers". He attended the sr. prom as a freshman..... its not easy having sons
I have greyed the whole bottom row! yay for big girl me!
wooot trif
LOL
well done, trif!
son, who is now almost 25 has a decent job in NYC as a software trainer. He is planning on starting to go to auditions regularly so he can get fired, and collect unemployment till he lands a gig sigh You can actually watch my hair turn grey

most painful ga
Thanks a bunch, bethn.
thanks bethn. what a hard word!
as long as he pays his rent red, i cant say anything. I try to give positive advice without being intrusive. He is a grown man and is going to do what he wants to so i might as well keep the lines of communication open

hello all, looking for perspective. is this a good time?
go for it, stid!
absolutely stid
hiya stiddy
okay. the master's program I am in SUCKS. I am nearly halfway through.
DONE
mi 8: dennis the menace does a lot of mi***** and is not a good buy
boy i mean
yeah harry!
May I please have a clue for is6-24? Thanks.
good clue, mkg
If I were to transfer to the other college in reasonable range I would lose some credits, and much of the work of the last 2 years would feel as if it were for nought.
YAY HARRY!!!!
thanks. mkg!
is + the infamous **** pet
wtg harry!
hooray harry
(thx mom)
Thanks much, Mom
hang in there stid
* waiting for more from stid *
huh mom? what kind of pet?
BUT. If I stay, I feel I will have my heart sucked out through my nostrils. And my brain will dribble out my ears.
the kind that grows hair (grass) all over it
Stid...have you made a pro/con list?
If I decide to leave at the end of this school year, can I reasonably quit this program (thus rendering this particular quarter less stressful), and can apply to the other college in the hope that they will accept most of my credits...
buy it in department stores on on tv ads
dont recall the name.............hmmm lava pet? no...gava pet?
the pro is I won't have to deal with what amounts to educational malpractice and unprofessionalism...
ch4/6 mkg
that'd probably be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me, stid!
and the con is that I am halfway there, and after this quarter will actually be in the schools for 66% of the remaining time (and therefore not having to deal with the offending professors)
oh stid - I dont know - how close are you to finishing
ty. what about other is 6?
same professors for next classes?
and i got it as a ch 4.
I need to survive the next 7 weeks, and then I have a couple months off before I start my first student teaching.
will 66% of the time offsite be worth the 34% of the unprofessionalism you'd have to deal with if you stayed?
i + love those ***** sheets - ooow so slippery
to finish timely?
ts?
I dont know - I would probably stick it out - you are so close - have a big break etc
I don't know, pini. I think I can survive ten weeks next year IF the offensive one isn't my field supervisor. If that one is, then I will just quit quit.
silky sheets??????????why am i so dumb
those were tough pini - ts _ lemon***
can you change field supers???
thx mom ;)
t + opposite of happy + vowel and change vowel at end for other one.
got the other, too ;)
the sheets clue is a type of fabric, not velvet, not silk, but very very smooth and pretty. I sa* down on the chair + opposite of out
mom what kind of sheets?
sa5/10
I don't know. The other college gives grad students 7 years to finish from the time they start. Evergreen theoretically would allow a student to take a break mid-stream if necessary, but I am told by people who have been in the program that there were no reasons (dying family members included) that were sufficient.
ty got it. and the sa 5.
I have to finish in the two years they plan or know that I am just not going to finish.
mi 6 27 needed first one please and the 6 21 after it.
ts5/12 - just change the vowel on the end from the last one
stid, can you talk with your dept head? that might be another resource for information to make a more informed decision...
no stid - you finish when you finish - masters programs usually dont dictate time. If you finish sooner - all the power to you _ if later - not a problem
at least not finish there. I have a third alternative, to take a one-year certification course (could even do it by correspondence)
si 6 please?
the dept head is the problem... at least the lead teacher is. And I don't have the sense that my opinion counts for much with any of them.
mi + very unhappy with a double cons
what about the dean's office?
the purpose is to be a teacher, at this point I would settle for anything. I know I can do it.
I know you can succesfully secure your Master's degree...I just wish you didn't have to deal with *(&$heads on the way!
mi6/21 - same first three letters and past tense of eat
May I please have a clue for se6-24? Thanks.
miserable? dont see it in grid........
thanks pini. me too.
It just sucks when you try so hard to better yourself and some idiot gets in the way
no one has help with the si 6, 18?
Right now, I am very very seriously thinking of not showing up again this quarter.
You know I can empathize, stid...I mean I work with some very annoying BHs; would be much happier if they were gone...
If I don't, I will let down some classmates. The alternative is for me to continue to meet my obligations to my classmates, knowing that I won't continue at the end of the year.
OR, I can just keep soldiering on and make them kick me out (but giving them no legitimate reason to do so)
I don't, red :(
oops. my first word was a da 7... *sigh* I wasn't going to play!
still need mi 6 27 first one please?
Stid, does the pursuit and accomplishment outweigh the jerks making it difficult along the way?
si 6/18 dutch word for "saint?"
si6/18 to do bad is to commit a *** + my boss was going to ***minate my job
ahhh thanks Mom needs!!!!
getting the piece of paper, and NOT attending the graduation would suffice... my goal is certification, not self-aggrandizement
thx again mom ;)
stid said a word! lol
Mi + unhappy with a double cons at end
I did? oh oh... *hides behind choclit in PB*
((firefly)) how are you doing?
and thanks for pointing it out, too! LOL

Hello gang
Hi jillibus. :)
40 left and crosseyed -- been learning Windows 7 and trying to set up my new laptop.
back...hi all ;)
Howdy.
hiya greedy...back for more, eh? ;)
Just waiting for the new grid.
did you finish this one?
Hi Jilli! 117 left but only started less than 2 hrs ago...sleepy too...worked hard at our motorhome on Lake Anna, VA...rake, burn, dig, plant...sip some wine....snooze...then again the next day...rewarding tho!
hi MP ;)
Hi Pini!!!!
Not even close. :(
Was thinking, if you finished, greedy, that you could bring me and jilli across the finish line...
I want a small grid...I think...sometimes those are tougher tho!
But having said that...are you getting the hang of the game?
(oh, and MP, too...but, well...)
Yeah.
good to hear
pini...I've been traveling so much since January...lots of fun...but must work twice as hard to keep up everything...
wow, MP! I'm jealous!
anyone have the last ca7?
Oh, Greedy, have you checked out Lickety's list for assistance?
I should explain that I plunged deep into the grid and now have 26 to go --- and back in I go, kerplop
got in trouble in cabo san lucas mexico in a diamond/tanzanite store....they kept giving me mexican champagne and it tasted like tequila to me...3 glasses later and I walked out with a whopper of a ring....hubby thinks I only paid $1K...
go jilli go!!!!!
well done, jilli!
No.
oh my, MP!
Greedy, Lickety's Babble Clues is the top link in the second column under Friends of Babble (below the grid and tile stats).
yep...never done nothin' like that in my life before...I told him it was my version of a Harley Davidson!!!!
vroom, vroom..........
I see it. :)
If you right click on it and open it another window (resize your grid window to accommodate setting your clue list next to it), you can see a list containing the first 2 letters of all of the words in the grid, their length/point value. ;)
Nice going, MP!!! LOL
Ah. Very nice.
Never going to finish this one...117 to go...it's all about the fun not the finish!
to "load" it...just follow the directions (i.e., copy your "My Word List" and paste it into the "bulk add" window and press the button! :)
that's right, MP!!! gotta love fun!!!
That is brilliant. Thank you.
no problem, greedy...anytime! :)
(that should hopefully explain how we know what to ask for) Like, does anyone have the first da7/36?
I had no idea what crazy code y'all were using. :)
Well, glad I've turned another light bulb on! :)
If you want to know how the point value works, let me know...don't want to throw too much at ya if it's not welcome ;)
* cough *
