1:25 am

yea Josh and grem!

1:25 am

YAY gremlinn!!!

last thing i wanted was to wake up with the rest of this one staring me in the face

1:25 am

that was a fun one

yeah, the a's just went on and on and on and on

1:26 am

the second 7 was new to me

whenever you get those A N L T S tiles near each other it's a ride

yeah, i thought it was a word with e as the last vowel, but oh well

maybe i'm thinking of alabaster

1:27 am

hi all

1:27 am

yeah, that's a stone, right?

1:27 am

hi diem

1:28 am

oh cool, a big one for today and I have plenty of time :) Morning all.

some kind of stone, tile, something

1:28 am

mineral, yeah

1:28 am

alabaster is dcseain's cat

ahh, also used as a color

1:28 am

then one of the Bs was a new one as well

the wild pig + consonant one was new to me

1:29 am

hello sprite!

1:29 am

and the third one I learned was a 4! The very last one

1:29 am

hi jilli *hug*

1:30 am

those get monkeyed enough that they sometimes don't sink in, I guess

1:30 am

sprite, I love your inia :)

1:30 am

thanks!

1:31 am

now I must get a clue icon...

ok, back to work for me - good luck everyone

1:32 am

yeah I took a temporal one, just started the grid so not really found a word that I would like to clue.

1:33 am

ah my doggy! Ok, I have decided, hehe.

1:41 am

he's so cute, sprite :)

1:42 am

a baby pic of him. I so need to update the pics but I do not have the energy yet. Day by day, right? Will get there. I wish you could see him, jilli. You'd love him. He is so sweet and funny.

1:45 am

I bet I'd love the little guy

1:46 am

3:02 am

Night Jilli sleep well

good morning diann, are you there??

3:08 am

night all

3:14 am

this is huge!!!

3:14 am

who is still here?

3:14 am

I've only just begun

Hi ruby, I'm here but only for another 5 minutes before I go out.

3:15 am

nice to say hello, anyway!

3:16 am

some of the tulips I planted as pink or rose-colored per the package, seem to be coming up white!

The grid is pretty fast so far. Lots of easy words. Usually so with the big ones.

lol ruby. Well, white is pretty anyway.

3:16 am

but I am very compulsive about my color scheme....alas

I was woken up at 6.30 hearing the sheep a bit nearer than usual, to find three mums with twins in our garden!

3:17 am

did you get a photo?

One of the cats acted as a sheep-cat and helped me round them up :-)

3:17 am

that is just too cute

lol, not on my mind at that time of the morning. Sheep are easy, the bull was a bit alarming and the pigs are just stupid.

The cat thinks she is a dog, I'm sure.

It's fun living in the country :-)

3:19 am

do you have pigs or is it just a neighbor. They have a reputation as being smart. I guess not

3:20 am

no farms around here but there are evidently "wild" animals, none of which I've seen : boar, foxes, chamois

A neighbour had small rare breed ones. They don't budge, I've learnt, unless you rattle a bucket with pig nuts in. (Or did you mean was my neighbour a pig?! :-) )

We had lots of wild boar coming through the property in Corsica.

3:23 am

you lived in Corsica? It is one of my favorite places, although I only spent 3 wks there in 1979. Still drink Myrthe, [sp?] when I can get it!

No, holiday. Anyway, have 200 and must dash. See you later.

3:24 am

see you later!

3:25 am

what are pig nuts (I hate to think....lol)

pig food :-) gone

3:25 am

hahah

3:44 am

at

3:44 am

hi pms, are we alone in here

3:46 am

Possily; and I'm reading the newspaper!

4:42 am

I'm here, don't panic everyone!!!!!

Hi Movie, and Bye, I have to go to work. :( money is good though.

4:51 am

en

5:20 am

greetings, all. it's a good thing I got a jump on this grid.

6:01 am

377?? ill need more than a jump for this grid;/

6:02 am

What a way to start a day! I'm scared.

6:02 am

crossy will protect you from the big bad grid gramma

6:03 am

Thanks crossy

6:07 am

how about this for a daily weather report people,im going to need shorts and a parka all in the same day!! http://www.theweathernetwork.com/index .php?product=weather&placecode=caon015 8&switchto=f&switchto=c

we had 81 in chicago yesterday

it's ok I'm used to being invisible

6:10 am

hello friends. this grid is a message from god for me today....I was gonna try to pretend I am back to full speed, get going around the house, etc. And the babble gods have sent me a big, honkin "take it easy" grid....thanks babble gods!

6:10 am

i see you gramma,im just trying this breathing thing and slowly coming to life

6:11 am

Hi, all - just checked London's weather on that site, Crossy. What a revelation - partly cloudy, partly cloudy, partly cloudy, cloudy, cloudy..

I'm not gramma

6:11 am

lol nb

6:11 am

like i say,trying to wake up,sorry esprit

6:11 am

LOL ...hello nancy! and bon matin esprit!

hi tri

6:12 am

I wouldn't mind but it's not a five day forecast, more like a five month forecast ;)

6:12 am

oops - forgot to change up the profile photo....

6:13 am

better stay over there then nb,anywhere else a sunbeam mat hit you and you will fry like an egg

6:14 am

okay, this photo cracked me up, but the caption might be too naughty for the chog -- consensus please?

6:15 am

lol

I LOVE IT!

6:15 am

LOL Trif!!!

6:15 am

okay then. it stays, for a bit anyway

6:15 am

I think that's fine, but where I live, "the eff word" is basically the building block of every sentence

I mainly use it for therapeutic purposes NB

6:16 am

a woman at my office was having a FIT this week - and, honestly, rightly so - because her college roommate and her husband had their first child last month, and gave it the middle name "Effin" which they think is ***hilarious***

6:16 am

can quite understand the urge, Esprit...I do find cursing in a vehement and venemous fashion does make me feel better.

human stupidity is a never ending source of wonder Tri

6:17 am

is rather too much....

6:18 am

enable doesn't take santa? what treachery is this!?

proper noun silly girl

6:18 am

id be swearing as well if my wife was humping my college room mate

but you could try a different end vowel

6:19 am

ha ha crossy

6:19 am

In my old school, there was a family who gave their children middle names that were old family nicknames....which wouldn't have been too bad if "curly-wurly" hadn't gone into it. Poor kids.

6:19 am

oh, dog needs out. agony. be right back.

that's too goofy, no wonder people need therapy

6:20 am

I know, right? Pr4s!

6:20 am

or in fact, just pr5, since it plurals itself ;)

phantom parenteral

6:21 am

Oh no Esprit, I really want 'parent' now!

6:21 am

got the fatherly one though, and felt very proud

one who fa5/16 should certainly be a fa**er

6:24 am

oh yes ;) but on that unsavoury note, I'm off to do hair and generally primp a bit - bbl!

primping is fine, pimping not so much :-)

6:25 am

"parenteral" is a medical term, nancy. "parental" is the other one

6:26 am

crossy, you are sure to find this amusing -- primo's GF got a C on her report card, and her dad FLIPPED out and grounded her for the rest of the school year....she is only allowed to do school activities, nothing else. Primo and GF were in despair as to how they would see each other, when inspiration struck. Guess who just got parts in the school play, thus guaranteeing themselves parent-approved afternoons of leisurely rehearsal time?

6:27 am

I have to admit, I thought that was a pretty clever ploy.

evening all :)

6:30 am

50 words to go

6:30 am

howdy mr p! how goes it?

6:30 am

wow, angelsong, that is impressive!!!

It all goes well! How you all doing? Long time no see!

6:31 am

6:31 am

6:33 am

LOL mr p!!!

6:34 am

6:34 am

Mr p, I was so sorry to hear of your fall, and the ensuing trouble you had. you poor thing! so glad you are back to rights though, albeit slowly, of course

trif, thankfully we are going into winter... we have mild winter here so is a great break from the months of humidity we usually suffer

good idea crossy, I will pop her in the deep freezer first though!

have had a stupid few months. but everything is looking up and bright now!

6:38 am

how is you girl mrp?heard she had some breathing complications?

Maddie got pneumonia and had it for a long while before they treated her... bloody useless ER doctors! It took me so many visits to the doc and hospital. I was pretty freaked out for her cause she was in pain.

Luke then got Whooping Cough! terrific February indeed

then I got broncitis for a couple of weeks, then broke my legs! I don't know who has cursed me, but I am not going without a fight!!

6:42 am

good grief!

you said it charlie!

6:42 am

you fight it mrp!

to the bloody bitter end crossy!! I love my life, it is very privileged, and I don't lay down for bad luck.

6:44 am

thats my girl;)

6:44 am

I bow, mr president, I bow....

(((hugs))) to you both!! thanks

6:45 am

6:45 am

oh geez! just realized I forgot to wake up tertiare for the bus! whoops! oh well - she will get to lie in, and I will drop her at school.

LOL crossy!

a lie in is always lovely!! and getting a lift to school is even nicer! :)

6:47 am

my son is being evil,he can walk to school..in the rain

I got my referee card for soccer - so that makes me the M in S&M for sure!

evil son! all the same aren't they! ;)

6:49 am

god! 16 years old and just grunts at you

6:49 am

ah yes, sons of the silent age....

6:49 am

he would rather starve to death than have a go and doing his own lunch

haha! they are just so pleasant! NOT

6:50 am

crossy, the best thing my step mom ever did was make sure both her boys worked in restaurants for at least one summer each. they are now amazing cooks, and believe me, the ladies notice!

6:50 am

we're not adolescent-boy bashing I hope ;)

6:51 am

you should hear him out there slamming food around and swearing

6:51 am

sorry nb,mine is evil

no Boy, we are commiserating the growing up of our darling sons

6:52 am

and im venting my spleen as they say

6:52 am

well he doesn't know how lucky he is, Crossy ;) I'd have killed to have had a father like you!

6:52 am

you would think i asked him to chop off a finger lol

6:52 am

awww

6:52 am

id adopt you in a heartbeat nb

6:53 am

lol MrP...just close your eyes and cover your ears for the duration of their high school education...

6:53 am

cant cover our ears when the cops keep calling round lol

6:54 am

((hugs)) then again - even the ever-so-saintly moi was not always so saintly...;)

Boy, am trying to! My boy is extraordinary so I need to take a lot of care with him... he needs me

cops! that sucks so much... :(

6:55 am

next time one of them asks"is this your son?" ill say no,never seen this kid b4

6:56 am

I am actually having more trouble with 13 year old hormonal-blender girl than 17 year old boy...

6:56 am

Hi Mr. P and everyone else here

6:56 am

hopefully just a phase, Crossy :/ fingers crossed anyway!

6:56 am

13 y.o. girls are impossible

6:56 am

ohh 13 year old girls are even worse..that why we leave them to our wives

hi bichon!! :)

6:57 am

oh, crossy, a memory stirs --- when I was in high school, I worked in a mall, and heard a mom and son arguing. He snarled "I didn't ask to be born you know!" and the BRILLIANT mom fired back - "well, if you had, the answer would have been NO!" I had to hide behind a shelf, I was laughing so hard

6:57 am

Good Morning everyone - oh are we talking teenagers this morning - got two of those myself

6:57 am

mainly they just play us against each other

My 12 year old is going to be doing what in a year????? (panic)

6:57 am

LOL Trif!

6:57 am

yes. well, I am the "wife" in this scenario....

6:57 am

hi, Mom!

6:58 am

I have two granddaughters Just waiting

6:58 am

she is going to be pretending she doesn't know you in public, mr p

6:58 am

i tell my son that he better watch it,we brought him into this world and we can take him out and make another one that will look just like him

6:59 am

every breath I take seems to be a calculated effort on my part to cause secondo the most embarrassment possible. as if!

6:59 am

My daughter is so sweet in public - when we get home she turns into this evil demon

6:59 am

Yes, Trif I remember that phase. I keep reminding my daughter of that

6:59 am

okay, gotta drive "troll in training" to elementary school. be back soon.

7:00 am

lol everyone is nodding their heads,cause we all know these scenarios

oh joy~

7:00 am

bye trif

see ya trif (hugs)

7:00 am

I think my parents were spared a lot of grief when I was in school, because I had two names. If I'd done something naughty enough to warrant a phone call home, the head office would search and search for Jesse Kae's home number...but of course it was listed under my Korean name. Magic. Luckily, by the time they caught on, I was behaving myself a bit more ;)

7:00 am

crossy, did you see my earlier post about primo and his gf and the school play?

7:00 am

just think,in 30 years these deamons are going to control the earth

7:00 am

wow just noticed - HUGE puzzle today

7:01 am

mom, your daughter sounds like my husband - charming in public, NOT at home!

7:01 am

no,i mossed it trif

7:01 am

I have one of those too ruby

7:01 am

hello everybody. Made 142 words very fast this AM, the rest will be a big struggle, I fear

7:02 am

howdy ruby

7:02 am

hello crossy

7:02 am

I think daughter takes after him - thank god my son is a happy kid and easy - but he is only 13 and we do have some hormones raging

7:02 am

she was grounded by her folks for getting a c, and is only allowed to do school activities, no social outings. so they both got parts in the school play, assuring long afternoons of parent-approved rehearsal time. pretty clever, really

7:02 am

at least he takes me out for lucnh -- often

7:02 am

so=a type of iced treat

well, I just grounded the little buggers for 5 days... and carried through on it (during school holidays)... they read, played card games, rode their bikes and talked very nicely to eachother whilst cleaning the house top to bottom twice a day!!

7:03 am

anyone have the fuzzy stuffed be word with the ending that makes it a 6 letter word?

7:03 am

one who carries, jae

7:03 am

i havent started puzzle yet so sorry

7:03 am

pretty sneaky Trif ;)

7:03 am

wow! mrp..my kid would just lay there

7:03 am

Sneaky=teenager

7:04 am

I resent that Bichon ;)

7:05 am

Nancy, are you a teenager? sorry. but I remember my teenage days

7:05 am

youth is wasted on the young bichon;0

7:05 am

i was a evil bugger also

7:05 am

so it comes around crossy

7:05 am

I waited until I was grown up to be bad!

7:06 am

it does indeed,but my brothers 2 kids are on the honor roll and speak 3 languages each

7:06 am

;(((

7:06 am

For another few months at least, Bichon! but only joking - I DID have to be sneaky! since I very wisely kept word of my various romances away from my parents' ears...

7:06 am

yes crossy, there's always the exceptions

crossy, I am a very 'scary' mother when I feel taken advantage of. They know they have crossed the line when I start swearing! That is when they run scared!

7:07 am

sigh...kids

7:07 am

you sounds like a great mother to me, mrpres

7:08 am

I'm reading a book now by Annie Lamott "Imperfect Birds". About parents who are oblivious to what their teens are actually doing

thanks ruby! :)

7:08 am

we all do the best we can; the handbooks are not really adequate....

7:09 am

when my boy was 12 or so,i was giving him hell for something and he pipe us"dad! you better be nice to me cause i get to decide what home you go in"!!

7:09 am

i said"not if i take you out of the dene pool first!

did you lock him outside and tell him to sleep in the kennel?

7:09 am

gene

7:09 am

hmmm, I never though about it from the parents' point of view before. I have a sudden urge to apologise to all of you ;)

7:10 am

When my kids said to me "What will you give me if I do some chore" I told them I's "allow them to live for one more day"

7:10 am

7:10 am

7:48 am

Mudbound was good, yes -- have you read "The Help"? Excellent!

8:11 am

OH! I don't know Scrabbs, I've seen neither hide nor hair of this ash! Apart from a slightly lilac sunset yesterday...

8:12 am

morning babblers!

8:12 am

hi scrabbler,NB,Eva,boobear

8:13 am

And Eva...maybe ;)

8:13 am

hi mom

8:13 am

hi folks

Hi briefly! We've got ash here. Can't see it per se but the sky is the color it goes just after a solar eclipse starts and there are visible dust clouds near the horizon.

8:13 am

I'm supposed to be going on holiday with the family to Rhodes in 6 weeks, and catching a plane from Luton.......

8:14 am

Hi Pippingeek

8:14 am

Hi Monkeygames and Movieman

8:14 am

Hi pip + MM + MG

Robbie, pretty much nobody knows yet.

8:14 am

Hiya all

8:14 am

Is the volcano still spewing?

8:14 am

hi monkeygames and MM

Darned thing's still spewing it out.

8:15 am

If I suddenly drop out of the chog it´s because I´m at work, just giving a head´s up.

8:15 am

makes me glad all my travelling this month will not be affected by errant clouds of ash

8:16 am

Ok MG

8:16 am

hi pip

8:16 am

What a mess for air travel!

There have been two major eruptions, one day before yesterday, and they expect more and of course this could set off the big one next to it too. Could be weeks. Could be months. Could be days.

8:16 am

8:16 am

Good morning all

This trip next month is a replacement for the one we couldn't take when my son was hit by a car. Now we have a volcano threatening it. If we miss this one and try again, will the aliens land???

8:19 am

I'm pretty good. Walter was hit by a car?? OMG. When was that?

Thanks, Robbi. Me too. Otherwose you wouldn't believe the hassles we'd have... and we'd have to still pay for the kennel for the dog... and we're planning to spend our 17th anniversary with family, so we hope all goes through!

Almost 5 months ago, Judi. He's OK now. His leg was shattered but it has healed well and he has even started gymnastics. He still has scar troubles and aches, and the leg is weak, but none of that is permamant and he's over the trauma.

8:26 am

Thank goodness the little copper penny haired boy is all better. That must have been very scarey for everyone!

8:26 am

{{walter}}

8:26 am

Hi Car

8:26 am

hi car

8:27 am

Good Morning Scrabbler! Good morning Friends!

It SURE was Judi. He was going to school with my neighbor and got it into his head it'd be fun to be forst across teh street. It was bad but it could have been SO much worse!

8:28 am

clue for al 7 pls

8:28 am

I'm so glad Walter is doing better, and enjoying gymnastics

8:28 am

OMG, Monkey! The very thought just sends cold chills up my back! Poor little guy! ((Monkey & family)) ((Walter))

8:29 am

hi nef

Thanks, folks. We're out the other side of the whole thing now but I do still sometimes kind of fall apart about it when nobody's looking.... Walter wants to do a book about it so I'm working up some sample illustration styles for him to pick from. He wants other kids to read about it and learn. His idea. That's my boy!

8:31 am

how sweet and courageous he is monkey!

8:31 am

I cannot help, Boobear, other than also looking

8:31 am

hi robbie, Boo, car.ee, and everybody. (I'm trying not to chat and enter words at the same time this AM

8:31 am

oh, he is such a dear, monkey!

8:31 am

That sounds brilliant, Monkey. Good therapy Walter and mommy. How's the job going? Are you still at the haunted museum?

8:31 am

ok tx

8:31 am

I don't have it either yet, Boo. Sorry

Hee hee, Judi! Not a museum, a research institute. And we're not sure it's haunted.... Thay have taken me on permanantly here!

8:32 am

wow monkey, I hadn't heard that about your job! congratulations!

8:33 am

Monkey, that's such a great idea! And Walter came up with that idea? Wow!

8:33 am

you have such an interesting job monkey

8:33 am

Ooops. Oh well, I remember you calling it a (possibly) hauted something. Good on you for making permanent status!

Thanks, all, on both subjects! Yeah, after 3 temp jobs at the same time, here I am finally at rest at the Institute for War Documentation as receptionist and translator. And I am also proud of the little guy for thinking of the book. He'll tell the story and I'll illustrate it.

8:35 am

With 229 to find how can I be stuck now?

Robbie, it was even more interesting at the Neuroscience Institute, where I took recept of shipments of things called "pure anti-human" and so on. But I do love it here!

I'm stuck with 319 to go Scrabbs.

8:35 am

Go Walter! Go Monkey!

8:36 am

238 left here..lol

8:36 am

Babble Blindness Syndrome--it attacks unexpectedly.

I can never find words that start with 2 vowels, help with ae6 pls

8:53 am

To insert air

8:54 am

sorry scrabs....that you have to go in on your day off

8:54 am

ae6 is something you do to your lawn to help the grass grow

8:54 am

ty got the ae8

8:54 am

the ae7/8 expand on that

8:54 am

Well, it is supposed to rain la5 and my hiking buddy is out of town anyway, so this was best of all choices to train

8:54 am

Insert air? I thought that was the clue for fa4.

8:55 am

lol

8:55 am

Haha, that is to release air

8:55 am

funny Judi

8:55 am

lol..I think that is letting air out...

8:55 am

if you can inflate, why can't you flate

8:55 am

fa6 is not accepted, one who fa45/16 :O)

8:56 am

anyone have an7/8?

8:56 am

fa5/15 is what I meant

8:56 am

Yes, Bichon, I too tried flate

8:56 am

bichon, you can. Just not here.

8:57 am

and if fa** is okay, why isn't one who does it a word?

8:57 am

I just asked that

9:00 am

Scrabs, are you still on paper medical records?

9:00 am

My dr's office switched to electronic records and they all walk around with laptops

woo hoo - just past halfway! what a killer!

9:01 am

hope they have a backup, so records aren't lost

9:01 am

One of my Doctor's offices is weaning into the tablet computers. It's all very Star Trek.

9:01 am

*My little clinic is still on paper, but the CNM's put everything in online, so we do have EMR; just not in my office

need the single N on the left column for nbt...

9:01 am

go pinnypoppins!

9:01 am

Gotta poof for a while. Someone just dumped a typing project on me. BBL.

9:02 am

bye judi

9:03 am

wow..just realized I'm half way

9:03 am

I was seeing off my college nephew that lives with me. ne4 = Hawaiian goose

thanks scrabbler!

now i can go do my laundry safe in the knowledge that i only have 183 words to find later on

9:04 am

Nef, I used EMR at my previous practice and we use it at the Indian Reservation Health Ctr. This is a different system from those.

9:04 am

OK, Pinny

9:05 am

you live with a goose?

9:05 am

great pinny

9:05 am

Good morning ... long grid ... how is it?

9:05 am

I'm havig an EMR installed now, I having the MedLink EHR installed. Seems good

9:05 am

Soemtimes he behaves like a goose, Jane. Big grid but not too tough...yet, Merk

9:06 am

fairly easy so far, Merk

9:06 am

hi merk...dive right in merk!.. not bad!

9:06 am

Hi Bubba. We bought Medent and have heard only good things about it. Lots of customization is possible.

9:06 am

good; I won't be here long, have to do it while traveling, hubby driving.

9:07 am

All need to be customized, they are just too big for one person

9:07 am

an7.28 & 8.40 what insects usually have to feel and what roofs had before cable

9:07 am

awesome..where are you going merk?

9:07 am

TY, Lynxxx

9:07 am

Seattle ... is there any really troublesome long word that I should have clued before I leave and have no help available?

9:08 am

Here in the Twin Cities Epci seems to be the favorite EMR system. The bigger hospital systems have it and a lot ofthe clinics. It's very user friendly

9:10 am

(that was Epic, not Epci, BTW)

9:10 am

ty lynxxx

9:10 am

lol lynxxx...and TV sets;-)

9:10 am

My friend at the Cleveland Clinic uses Epic and LOVES it!

9:11 am

I've grayed in through the f words

9:12 am

you are going fast merk

9:12 am

pressure

9:12 am

is it rainy in Seatle?

9:13 am

it's also very easy to customize, Scrabs. We had it in my old ICU unit for about 3 years before I left there. The hospitals can introduce it into each unit as they wish

9:14 am

One hospital system in Buffalo uses GE Centricity.

9:14 am

I hope not; we're only just leaving the house. We won't get there until Sunday night.

9:14 am

We're hoping for no snow in the mt. passes.

9:15 am

I hadn't thought of snow!

9:15 am

are you taking I-90 out, Merk?

9:15 am

or I-94?

9:17 am

Yes

9:17 am

the dogs are barking, so i better let them out...be back la5/10!

9:18 am

I need a break--almost halfway here.

9:18 am

I think we are with 94 maybe part of the way, but basically we'll pick up 90 20 miles north of here and stay with it, unless we take a shortcut around Belle Fouche

9:18 am

LOL! I-90 and I-94 turn into the same road in MT; I just was asking which you were starting on

9:19 am

nice round 100 left, goodnight all

9:20 am

"bye lynxxx

9:28 am

Hi all! Diving right into this biggie.

9:29 am

I don't have enough time for the big grids. I am just getting up when the grid starts (6am here) so I turn it on and whilst I get going I knock off the easy words. When I can resume later in the day I kid myself that whatever is left is the size of the grid. There will be a break until after say 7pm when I start again and the grid is against a reduced one. I need my head examining cos I know the truth! Do they actually diagnose Babble Disease?

9:29 am

pant

9:30 am

I've got it too, Pat!

9:30 am

Sorry sorry sorry.

9:30 am

Had it, weaned myself so I don't get too upset when I don't have the time to finish ... but that took a couple of years ;)

9:31 am

I have 260 words left to find and I should be working!

9:32 am

I weaned myself off the chat log because I couldn't do both AND sleep..

9:33 am

I just popped in quickly. Have found ten more words and now must go off to chemist as I have rotten earache! See you later.

9:35 am

Patxxx, I had to wean myself by forcing myself to leave grids unfinished so I could sleep. Now I don't worry so much if I don't finish; and I usually enjoy chat more than the grid

9:36 am

feel better soon, hydra!

9:36 am

hi Nef!

9:36 am

hi mymuse! Haven't seen you for a while.

9:37 am

work has been interfering with my leisure life

9:37 am

work has been interfering with my leisure life

9:37 am

I know how that goes

9:38 am

are you on FB?

9:38 am

I usually play a few there ... helps with my addiction here if I don't have time lol

9:38 am

yes, but I'm not a big FB fan.

9:39 am

I was too stupid to remember to NOT type clues in the chat log box as I have ably demonstrated already. So the log had to go, well not completely.

9:39 am

oe

9:39 am

you play a few what there? scrabble?

9:39 am

good morning everyone

9:40 am

gm flosey

9:40 am

morning flosey

9:40 am

Scrabble, lexulous, word tornado

9:41 am

Patxxx, I'm ALWAYS entering words (or almost words) into chat and chat into the word box

9:41 am

scramble, packrat, etc.

9:41 am

see? there's WAY too much going on at FB!

9:42 am

lol yes, but I can say hello there to a lot of Babblers if I can keep their monikers/real names straight in my head

9:43 am

and I can't seem to do that, mymuse. :-)

9:44 am

not too much for me either ... that's why I keep it on my profile to help everyone else.

9:46 am

Nef, My cat is cleverer than me. She monkeyed a word once and I still look at her in wonder. I almost changed her name from Coco to Babble but shouting Babble late at night could be dangerous!

9:46 am

I have mine on my profile too; but others don't and that's where I get confused

9:47 am

LOL Patxxx, that's cute

9:47 am

Patxxx, can I borrow her sometime? My dog just wants attention and doesn't ever try monkeying

9:48 am

I will try and post it in my status ... see if that gets some to do it.

9:48 am

one lonely n for nbt

9:50 am

which one, mymuse?

9:50 am

figures, the HI goose ;)

9:50 am

naos

9:50 am

Ah! My last N for NBT was the 4th column N

9:51 am

arrrrrrghhhhh sorry

9:51 am

thanks! ;-)

9:51 am

see Pat I do it too lol

9:52 am

Nef, Coco the cat I spoke about is nicknamed Empress Victoria. She is so imperious. I have another cat and a Labrador and she has both under control. Pedro, tiger tom cat, appears to taste her foor for her then moves away when she wants to eat and he's a real toughie elsewhere. The Lab, Oscar, just gives in to whatever she wants. Thanks mymuse.. I would NEVER finish if babblers didn't occasionally lapse.

9:53 am

Nef: Food if the word.

9:53 am

I finally finished this BLASTED puzzle!!!!!!!!

9:53 am

congrats jae! that is an accomplishment!

9:54 am

WTG, jaeleigh! YAY!!

9:54 am

I want 230

9:54 am

The ta's are an absolute nightmare...

9:54 am

and ty...

9:55 am

oh, my! I just noticed how mant T words there are.... (discouraged now)

9:56 am

I know...it is really tough- especially the multiple spellings for fish sauce

9:56 am

I know...it is really tough- especially the multiple spellings for fish sauce

9:56 am

sorry...

9:57 am

don't worry, jae; it does that sometimes

9:57 am

Yeah, I know, but it is polite to say sorry after your fingers burp...LOL!

9:58 am

LOL! Cute!

9:58 am

lol, I just think it's Babble trying to hold on

9:59 am

All I know is that this grid took me about 6 hours WITH the list...I woul;d not even bother doing it without...

9:59 am

and just where do you find 6 hours

10:00 am

Who would have thought that you could get addicted to 25 random letters????

10:00 am

Lack of sleep!!!! Of course!!!!

10:00 am

we all have our addictions. I give up after I have found 100 words ... call me a wimp!

10:01 am

Now I am going to get some sleep...finally...see you at the flip!

10:01 am

(wimp)

10:01 am

lol

10:02 am

night jae, nice meeting you

10:02 am

hey ruru

10:02 am

thanks runrocks ... I always wonder if someone is out there

10:03 am

hi judy

10:03 am

oh, you figured it out! good for you!

10:04 am

Hi all. I think I made a mistake by starting this grid.

10:04 am

judy, of course there are people out here. We aren't really figments of your imagination

10:04 am

nods head

10:04 am

be like me Carolryberg... walk away

10:05 am

but I can picture you FIGMENTS just fine, Nef

10:05 am

hi Carol ... set your own goal ... for me today is more than half and I'm at the halfway mark now.

10:05 am

Carol, it isn't a mistake to st***; it MAY be a mistake to finish! ;-)

10:05 am

I are a figment

10:05 am

oh and a lawyer figment, too! yippee

10:06 am

I'm gonna try for a while but not worry about fireworks. I like yesterday's better.

10:06 am

are you at work?

10:06 am

lawyer figments sound dangerous!

10:06 am

depends on one's definition of work

10:06 am

I am off today, but have lots to do.

10:06 am

hehehe was thinking the same thing, Nef

10:06 am

this is more fun than finding words... where are you all from?

10:07 am

I am from hunger.

10:07 am

NY but Bermuda is always on my mind lol

10:07 am

I'm off today too with much to do. DH will always find *something* I need to do too

10:07 am

10:13 am

no work until a conf. call at 12:30

10:14 am

10:14 am

Too many words and too much to do. I quit at least for now. Bye!

10:15 am

10:16 am

I am down to a much more 157 words to go

Hi nan!!

Thank you Norma!

11:58 am

Well, there is still a lock down on flights in the UK and various other places in North Europe but a plane passed overhead about one and a half hours ago. I'm in the North of England, near Leeds. Anyone else seen one?

11:58 am

You are welcome

11:59 am

Not here in Wales Pat

11:59 am

we're on flight path here - and the past two days have been soooooooo peaceful!

12:00 pm

they announced this morning that one plane got out of Prestwick bound for Toronto and a couple of flights landed in Manchester

12:00 pm

Only planes that fly below 10,000 feet are flying aparently, my daughter and partner were supposed to go to spain at midday today they can't fly until Thursday now

12:00 pm

why no planes? weather?

12:00 pm

volcanic ash in the air

12:00 pm

I hope they get home ok..Norma

no iceland had a volcano erupt

12:01 pm

it's been quiter here too - i live on flight path for Washington Dulles International. Many fligts cancelled.

12:01 pm

They never got there Boo ...

12:01 pm

My niece was supposed to fly to Africa this morning, no news of when she can go

12:02 pm

It is so disappointing when you save up all year for your holiday and then it is cancelled thru no fault of your own

12:02 pm

our news was that of over 28,000 flights landing daily in European airports, over 17,000 had been cancelled

12:03 pm

Some agencys are saying its an act of God and are not willing to pay compensation

12:03 pm

It is on the news at the moment that we will have shortages of food that needs to be brought by air .. eg bananas and fruits with a short shelf life ... another excuse for the prices to go thru the roof

12:04 pm

Oh, i didn't realize the eruption was affecting so much - just saw a blurb in today's paper, but didn't read it. I suppose I should have!

12:05 pm

You are fortunate firefly the wind is blowing the ash away from you, it is covering most of Europe

12:05 pm

I feel for all those that are stranded abroad possibly running out of money

they said last night they were hoping it wouldn't set of a larger volcano which would cause even more trouble

12:06 pm

Hi everybody :) They have opened the airspace over Ireland, so hopefully things are coming back to normal

12:06 pm

clue for in 8 pls

hi soodle

12:06 pm

The insurance companies are claiming An Act of God.. any excuse to get out of payment

12:07 pm

in 8 is in + er 6

12:07 pm

Hi soodle lets keep our fingers crossed

thank you bichon...i didn't have that one either

12:08 pm

Its bizzare! We have really clear blue skies here.

12:08 pm

ty bichon

lets hope they stay that way soodle

12:08 pm

i count myself very fortunate Norma - sorry for all those affected by this natural disaster

12:09 pm

yes -- it was reported that flights were getting in and out of Ireland

12:09 pm

And we do Soodle but the ash is so high up that the planes cant risk it

12:09 pm

ty bichon

12:10 pm

With all our technology etc etc, an Act of God can really cause major disruption, and nobody can do a thing about it!

better to ground them though than risk anyones life

12:10 pm

Yesterday, it was sooo quiet -I live about 1.5 miles from Leeds/Bradford Airport. But it has never bothered me so I guess we are not in the landing and take-off path. The scary bit was hardly no birds to be seen or heard yesterday and a subdued dog. Although how it's possible to tell if a Labrador is subdued I haven't the faintest. Stop and within seconds he's at rest or asleep UNLESS you are packing food then he just begs and begs with huge sad eyes. The cats, well I wouldn't ever know what they are thinking except, once again, FEED ME! FEED ME!

12:11 pm

thats ok soodle -- no words there -- but change last letter of the 5

12:11 pm

news just said scottish and irish flights may resume @ 7pm

12:14 pm

I know this is very trivial compared to all of those who are ash affected, but it's damned cold here. It's only 50 F out and I just put on a second sweatshirt

12:15 pm

nah, it's 82 outside.

12:16 pm

bichon I never class cold weather as trivial lol

12:16 pm

got you beat at 39 degrees

12:16 pm

beautiful 70F and sunny here

12:18 pm

Mom, where in NH do you live, in the mountains?

12:18 pm

I know how you feel Bichon but the way our weather is we could be frezing tomorrow. I'm sure I heard a ground frost warning earlier. Never can tell here. In fact they were warning of snow a few days ago. Plays havoc with your wardrobe. Sometimes my style is 'YES I DID get dressed in the dark'.

12:19 pm

no - just west of Concord

We are enjoying our second day of sunshine (and today it actually feels warm) after a week of spotty snow interspersed with two really nasty, though short, storms. It felt more like March, which is more than March did!

12:19 pm

You did hear it Pat

12:19 pm

I had to defrost my windscreen this morning!

12:20 pm

it was perfect weather for tennis last night. I won my match!

1:40 pm

I know, but at least most of the words are normal in structure.

1:40 pm

thank goodness! imagine how long it would take to do a grid of 300 or so "weirdo words"

1:41 pm

That's nightmarish!

1:42 pm

.. still working on a grid "rating" scale

1:43 pm

.. would have nothing to do with how big , or how quickly you finished it, just with .. what did it take to find all the words

1:44 pm

did you get a headache or have a seizure?... tough rating on that one

1:44 pm

how many cookies did you consume? .. etc, etc

1:44 pm

SA + Double stick letter

I do have a favorite team, but they aren't that good right now... and I don't live near them, so I don't get to watch them very often... But I'm a St. Louis Blues fan through and through

4:22 pm

sa + double cons

4:22 pm

Mmmmhmm, and a teletubbies plaster ;) although I think they're called band aids in America. Or that might be something else entirely!

4:22 pm

you got that right - teletubbies???? Do I need to worry about you NB?

4:23 pm

clue for the at6 please

4:23 pm

LOL. Looks like it'll probably be a boring cotton bandage. Ugh, it is still bleeding at an impressive pace though!

4:24 pm

what color tubbie would you prefer?

4:24 pm

My hometown has a minor league team that I am partial to

AT + ** top of old smokie + I need **l the help I can get

it's a muscial term

4:24 pm

what part of your hand NB - keep holding pressure on it

4:25 pm

duh - thanks pappa

4:25 pm

oddly enough it's gone straight across my lifeline. Hope that's not an omen!

4:25 pm

yeah - A's are done

no prob

4:26 pm

thanks, pappa, I got that too :)

4:26 pm

of course not - most common area to cut - just keep that pressure while waiting for the doc

4:27 pm

brb - need a beverage

I got a nasty cut across my palm a couple of years ago... that one bled bad, too. And it's such an easy place to iritate too. It tok a while for mine to completely heal

4:27 pm

last ne5/10?

NE + I studied the liberal a***

4:28 pm

rhymes with car rental h*****

4:28 pm

ty

4:29 pm

that's the problem, Pappa - if I close my hand into a fist to keep pressure on it, the way the cut moves completely turns me over. I'm not good with blood - having to hold my hand above my head, to the amusement of everyone else here ;)

hey babble!

4:30 pm

hello, smooth-papa

4:30 pm

hi BR

4:30 pm

howDy, Boobear

4:31 pm

hello all

4:31 pm

hi, Peri!

4:31 pm

hi there BR, have not seen you in a while. How are you?

4:32 pm

smooth, is that you in the picture?

4:32 pm

ok, down to 50... will be back later to finish

when I cut mine, I was working for a pharmacy at the time. I was at my apartment, and on my way to ork when it happened... so I ran back up, and used some peroxide to clean it, but I was out of bandages... so I took some paper towels, wrapped my hand in that and drove across town to work, where I was able to get all the bandages I needed.

4:32 pm

soory to hear about your hand, NB. hope it heals quickly

Hi peri! yup, that's me!

4:33 pm

nice picture, smooth, nice to place a face with a name. that is me in my photo too

thanks! I did that with a self timer, and if you look at it larger, it's a little out of focus, but a thumbnail doesn't look to bad.

4:33 pm

how did you do it, Pappa? you must be pretty good with blood and like - I don't think I'd trust myself to drive!

4:34 pm

Thanks, Peri ;) gets me off work!

I realized that I'd never really used a picture o myself in a profile, and when I came back a couple months ago, I decided to use this one

4:34 pm

Work is done, back to the grid.

4:35 pm

Pappa - you would be my daughters dream mentor - photography and the arts

4:35 pm

* Why do most people have trouble obtaining blood transfusions in Taiwan? * Because they only have Taipei.

oh man! nancy, that's a bad question... it's a little scary to think about. I was throwing a bag of garbage into the dumpster in my parking lot, slipped on a patch of ice, and when I fell towards the dumpster, I reached out to keep from falling, and grabbed a sharp edge on the dumpster. I should have probably gone to the hosipital to make sure it was really disinfected... but I id use a lot of peroxide, so I figured , at the time, it would be enough.

4:36 pm

NB - take a few days off and be babied for the weekend by leo

4:36 pm

LOL BR!

lol thanks mom :)

4:36 pm

thats what she wants to go to college for - photography first and arts second

4:37 pm

fortunate for you = you are far away

4:37 pm

pappa - hope your tetanus was up to date - dumpster - ewwwww

4:37 pm

clue for so 7 pls

4:37 pm

still dont have that one boo

4:37 pm

r

Heh... I went to school for something completely unrelated to photography and the arts. this is something I happened to be good at, and found a job in, at a time when most hiring was frozen in the areas I did study

so 7/44-what tofu is made of

4:38 pm

Eww! oh yes, wish I hadn't asked now ;) I feel like a bit of a baby for coming to A&E (I think that's ER in the US) but work made me. And I'm too much of a sissy to stand up without passing out!

SO7: It's a food crop... another word for it is edemame

4:38 pm

when I had a bad cut, I mean...not generally.

4:39 pm

Im just worried she wont be able to find a job in that field but you know = she needs to go into what she loves so I will help her anyway I can

HA! that's a nice clarifier, nancy... now I have this image of you, just faling back fown very time you stand up. :P

4:39 pm

sounds like a plan, Mom :) except I get babied by Leo all the time anyway, LOL

4:39 pm

help....... (whine) need a clue for the 2nd la 7/28

and mom... very few people are fortunate to make a living selling their artwork... but there are other fields that can be quite profitable using those skills

4:40 pm

93 left....hi NB long time no talk....I've been travelling alot hope this finds you and Leo well!

sammy: it's another word for toilet

4:40 pm

hi again. May I whine a bit? We just had some minor work done on the car and were told we need some major work done. :-(

4:40 pm

thanks papa

4:40 pm

sammy - its an army toilet

4:40 pm

Hi, MPitt! Thanks for asking, Leo and I are both great :) where have you been travelling?

Mom: for example, I do fine art photography, but I could never make a living at it... now, a substantial part of my income comes from doing product photography for a catalog

Hi Nef... I'm sorry to hear it!!

4:41 pm

found the so7

4:41 pm

maybe photo journalism

4:42 pm

ugh, Nef, that's how they get you! I'm so glad I don't have my car anymore...don't miss it; don't need it!

A lot of artists also find nice work doing things like web design o other graphic design... though photojournalism would be a fun one to pursue!

4:42 pm

pictures generally have a close resemblance to what the camera is aimed at.

4:42 pm

she was just accepted into a special art festival for high school juniors at the NH Institute of Art - hopefully they can introduce her to many areas of her art

4:43 pm

hello everybody

4:43 pm

hi, Jac!!

4:43 pm

Hello, jacq

Generally, babble... though what I've been trying to focus on lately, in my own art, is using a photograph as a canvas to really create the visual concept I have in mind

4:43 pm

Boo can you give us a clue for that so7

4:43 pm

heya NB and BR

well, good luck to her, mom!

hey jac!

4:44 pm

4:44 pm

4:45 pm

NB cut his hand on glass while bartending today

he cut his palm on some glass, jac

4:45 pm

(catching up with chat, here) Hey, smooth_, last time I saw a picture of you you had long hair! I like the look! :-)

thanks nef! yeah, cutting that hair was the easiest way I've ever lost 5 lbs. ;) I cut it about a year ago, or so.

4:45 pm

how bad is the cut, NB?

bad enough to go to the er. :/

4:46 pm

ouch

4:46 pm

across his palm - just got called into to the emergency room

4:46 pm

you type fast too pappa

lol.... but often with typos. ;)

4:47 pm

he got to use a laptop in hospital??

4:47 pm

In January husband and I cruised 7 days to bahamas, then drove up to Killington Vermont for another 7, then March 7 went to Outer Banks, NC for two weeks. My mom and I took off for California March 23, cruised to Cabo San Lucas March 25-29 then back to San Diego and Hemet California then flew home April 7, then hubby and I took off to our motorhome at a summer place in Lake Anna, Virginia...whew...that's alot....

4:47 pm

Well, if he cut it at work, he was probably required to go in?

4:47 pm

got to get supper for my son - school dance tonight - and he will be looking pretty suave at 13

4:47 pm

no his phone

4:47 pm

probably Nef, they will need to cover their backs

4:48 pm

life is tough, MPitt! ;-)

see ya mom!

4:48 pm

i didn't know we could use phones in hospital either

4:48 pm

they did make him go but it is a good thing as he said it was still bleeding pretty bad

4:48 pm

be back soon

4:48 pm

bye, Momn

4:49 pm

i always hae trouble with the easy ones- like the na 5/10??

4:49 pm

4:52 pm

I need the first as please

4:53 pm

4:54 pm

this clue was up before, but I didn't get the second part

4:55 pm

does the PT mean something other than the abb.

hey so how bad is this one? endurance test or nightmare?

4:55 pm

*past tense*

PT is just "past tense"

4:55 pm

Hi TO not bad at all...fairly straight forward

endurance test, TO.. nothing all too terrible

4:55 pm

okay...thanks pappa!

4:56 pm

tx papa

no prob, guys

4:56 pm

I think people are cluing misspelled words which is throwing me off

well then we'll see when i return from dinner. probably won't play today

4:56 pm

and glad to know that I am not much out of the babbleverse loop

however, i do see the phantom "inertial"

4:57 pm

am I guilty mizhoff???

happy babbling! *poof*

4:57 pm

like the army toilet - it's not in the puzzle, spelled the right way

yeah, it happens from time to time...

4:58 pm

I hate to offend, but yes Mpitt, but you weren't the first one...st***ing a car has a double vowel that are the same

4:58 pm

but people are cluing as if they are..which makes it hard to find it...sorry, I am a huge stickler for spelling and grammar.

4:59 pm

can someone help with the bo7/36 please and thanks

y problem is that I can spell, but I am really bad at making typos... from time to time, when I am working a grid early in the morning... before work and before coffe... I have tried to enter word two or three times, but keep typoing it. :0

5:00 pm

I am totally guilty of the typo, but I don't have time of day or lack of caffeine to fall back on! :)

BO 7/36: A dry story BO*es me to death + Old, hard , and dry bread is ****e

5:01 pm

I always seem to start something here without the intention of offending, but it seems to come out that way.

lol... the fun of the internet... inflection and intent can be completely subjective, depending on who's reading it.

5:01 pm

thanks smooth_pappa got it

5:02 pm

Now, I must get the waking kiddos from nap. Happy babbling and good job to all that finished this massive puzzle and good luck to all who are still going at it

5:02 pm

No kidding, Smooth!

I know there have ben times I've typed an email with what I thought was pretty apparent sarcasm and jest, but it didn't get received that way.

see ya miz!

5:03 pm

I don't care how you clue the word as long as I get it LOL

:D

5:03 pm

Sorry miz...I am usually quite good at spelling and grammar but the clues are done quickly and usually people playing the game pick up the clues quickly but we don't fret over much here...it's all about the fun so no offense taken...glad to bring it to my attention...but it will probably happen again as we are typing so fast and furious esp on this big grid...

And like Miz... I to must be off... have a good night, all!

5:04 pm

am off to soak in the tub and finish my wine

5:04 pm

6:57 pm

6:57 pm

keeping you warm

lol... I like that discription..may i borrow it for an reason sometime

6:57 pm

No, thanks, Doren. 158 to find and list helps somewhat.

6:58 pm

list helped enormously, and then a couple of morewords finds

6:58 pm

LOL - I actually borrowed it from anne lamott, one of my favorite writers of all time!

wow there are so many silly flies on my front deck...guess they like the warmth too

6:58 pm

I love Annie Lamott's writing!

6:58 pm

I know! I want to be her best friend.

6:59 pm

ditto :-)

keep thinking i see the word national and lateral..but nope not there

7:00 pm

ugh, this is so frustrating! I walked away from the grid for a good chunk of time, and all I enter now is met with "you have already entered...." Feh.

7:00 pm

"boast" and "roast" are my big phantoms today. feel like I have typed them 100 times

i get that alot too..and then poof one I misssed

7:04 pm

okay. might go get the list. sigh

7:04 pm

would be amazing to do such a big grid without one, though....

7:04 pm

just thinking you would need to leave - but college kid - you are safe for awhile - and good for you taking him in

7:05 pm

Nothing else would get done that day, and there would be lots of begging.

sorry phone rang...my mom...back again...corn would be good

7:05 pm

yes, prob you are right, scrabbler.

7:07 pm

okay. got the list. right away, another 8, which somehow hid from me all picking day. I think my biggest problem is that I don't tend to pay much heed to the list of words I have entered, and thus miss a lot of obvious plurals and extensions. DUH

7:08 pm

I am working on the ta's----such a long list.

i only have 2 of the 8 letter words and only 6 of the 7 ones

7:08 pm

Lynxx has a Grey hound. I thought the pic was a penguin

8:21 pm

he has a very cute but handsome face

8:21 pm

pfft - greys don't stink!

8:21 pm

red, we talked long ago about my going to nursing school -- i am now taking prereqs for a program that starts spring 2011

8:22 pm

that would be a funny looking and large skunk nef

8:22 pm

so true lynxx -- one of their good qualities

8:22 pm

good for you, pk! The reason I thought it was a skunk was the icon is so small

WOW PK that is fantastic

Oh Excellent Pk!

8:22 pm

how's your boy lynx?

8:22 pm

question..... did anyone less than superhuman finish this monster?

8:22 pm

Hi Torg

8:24 pm

8:24 pm

i have 148 left & i am weary of it all

8:24 pm

greyhounds are soooo warm

8:24 pm

hi tor - good luck

well I had a 12 hr break of it, did 177 in the am then went to work.

8:25 pm

I think they are beautiful, but I don't have the energy to have one

I was out all day yesterday. I went out came home ate then went out again

8:25 pm

yeah but Stew doesn't like my feet tucked under his tummy too much

8:25 pm

Wow, red! I'm impressed!

the morning part was the easy part.

8:26 pm

get an older one Nef, they are amazingly lazy

THis is good that I can actually have the internet keep up with my speed of typing

8:26 pm

Nef Nef - no energy required, just a fenced yard. You have to drag them off the couch to take them for a walk

8:27 pm

got a new foster this week, she's 10

Teulu is starting to get a bit lay and I am quite appreciative.

lazy that is...

Awww Pk.

8:27 pm

a forever foster pk?

8:27 pm

well, my little 11 pound shit-poo thinks a walk around the yard IS a lot of exercise

Red is Teulu still as quirky as every thoug?

8:28 pm

i thought maybe lynx, but someone is interested in adopting her

8:28 pm

I had a shitpoo before Stew and he was much more active

yes, he is, but he's getting a wee bit oldish at 4...

8:28 pm

if it works out, she will go there, and then i can get another old girl off the farm

PK are they ex racers or what?

8:31 pm

yes, all ex-racers, but i have a soft spot for ex-racers who were then used for breeding

8:32 pm

by the time they are done having puppies, they are so old most people don't consider adopting them

Lynxx so you used to have a floor mop?

8:32 pm

Yes - we had only had smaller dogs before

older dogs require a lot of considerations

8:33 pm

I don't care if I EVER see another letter T in my life!

8:34 pm

i still have 28 T words to find!

8:34 pm

me too. a slew of them. sigh.

Me too pk, at least!

I have 171 left....

8:35 pm

8:40 pm

yes, and another phantom that is a band: pantera

I know that I shouldn't laugh but that is brilliant. Phantom Parent instead of dead beat dad.

8:40 pm

my mind needs something to do while i am not finding words

PK i have their drum stick signed on my wall

8:41 pm

8:45 pm

8:46 pm

Trifi, what did you do that you are laid up?

8:47 pm

argh, the problem with these big grids is it slows down loading up all the words! grrr

8:47 pm

was shoveling compost nef. Mr. Hate took our compost bin to our new house (grrr - who takes a compost bin?) but I made him leave the compost inside. I got a new bin on Wednesday and tore a muscle out of my hip shoveling the old compost into the new bin.

Mom if we combine. we can complete!

8:48 pm

did you drag them over to another window red

Trifs I am looking at something on Primos FB page. I swear the train seats are teh same covers as our fabric ones

8:48 pm

I have 10 minutes and it lights out in this house

8:49 pm

go mom go!!!

WTF Trifs has he not got a spare $20 to by a new one gees

8:49 pm

Wow, THAT is really weird: he's "attached" to a compost bin?

8:49 pm

MNH, te6.18 you are looking for comes after niner

8:49 pm

shall I email you my words red - hmmm?

8:49 pm

nah, I am good, 144 now, Soon I shall get list, like when I have 100 or so left.

8:50 pm

the universe loves me though - I went to the town recycling center, and the guy remembered me from when I was there before. when he heard what happened to my former bin, he didn't charge me for the new one! yay!!!

8:50 pm

he certainly is a weird duck, Trifi. I'm glad you made him leave the compost, however.

8:50 pm

I dont understand lb

8:51 pm

does the recycling guy know mr. hate? maybe he'll double charge him!

8:51 pm

NICE!

OK Trifs that is up there with me gaining custody of clothes pegs because the couple I lived with at the time couldn't decide who should get ownership

8:51 pm

BBS; laundry calling again

8:51 pm

I am not sure ldb.

8:51 pm

eighter, niner, te****

8:51 pm

he can't go to the one here anymore, anyway, and he is not a norwell resident anymore.

8:52 pm

that was one. *slap*

8:52 pm

oh, I had to count him out some clothes pegs, too, herin. cheap baaastid as we say in boston!

8:52 pm

i read that as "he's not a norMal resident" and was going to say was he ever normal?

8:53 pm

what a sad man Trif

8:53 pm

i'm surprised he didn't want half the toilet paper! geez

8:53 pm

we in normal norwell get that all the time, lbd

8:53 pm

I am lucky to have escaped with my underwear

8:53 pm

Or half the toilet seat .. He is half assed ..

Lol Torg

8:53 pm

are you sure he didn't take half of them?

8:54 pm

hey - I got custody of you guys, so it's all good

8:54 pm
