Perhaps so, Volleymom - Lurking fireworks
G'night
"ptui" is not a word. Ptui! Oh, hello everyone. Did everyone finish the grid and leave?
any clues?
I've only found one Babblet so far, mkg
i have 23 words and give up. too bad. didnt get any 6's.
what is a babblet by the way?
Oh, a babblet is a funny word that is rarely used in actual speech, but is in the Babble dictionary
oh ty douglas. anyone have co words?
I only have 12 words...have you visited Lickety's list?
I only have 14. Lickety's isn't helping much.
I don't have any co words, but I just found 2 w's
co4 = bovine ending in sometimes vowel
co5/12 = c + double vowel + double vowel
c and all vowels? yipes./
I know! and the other co5 change the last vowel to the sometimes vowel
wow i actually got those co words! ty.
need ac word if any clues are out there.
TY Nonnie!
You're welcome!
I need the ac for fireworks.
Is anybody going to ask fot the ac6-30? Well, then, I will. May Ii please have a clue for ac6-30? Thanks
Hello people :)

Hi there jilli.

hello everyone
visual ac****

Thanks anyway, Douglas.
hello, flosey

hi guys, flosey, peach, jilli - I have just got a new computor- and I'm back!
mkg
peach, a + put a u in ci4
welcome back sandyloo
So nice to see that you addicts are all still here
Thanks much, flosey.
yw peach
There's a particularly Aussie word in the grid, sandyloo
hmm , what will it be? I'll find it soon I just started- small grid but no doubt it will be difficult
I see it!
believe it or not , we do use that term all the time when we are finding each other on the farm
It was a new word for me. I learned something today. I don't learn something new every day. In fact, I have days when I forget things I learned
I am surprised that it is actually an acceptable word
I really hate to do this but I am so sleepy.....may I please have a clue for fo4-7? Thanks
It's familiar to me -- my mother and aunts used it all the time -- their parents were Aussies
Times New Roman, Helvetica, Verdana
adjust the size of your __ in the document
Grayed out the top row - whoohoo!
Thanks Jabber. That completed the grid. Good night, my friends....sweet dreams.
YAY peach!!! And nightynight:)
Jabber -- no flag?
how are you Jilli, I hope you are keeping well
Tell me, is JC still playing?
fireworks
he hasn't been playing for a while sandy
congrats, flosey
ty BR
Hi bab rab, nice to see you here still
Yay flosey!
going to check out tomorrow's theme, brb
thanks Douglas
sandyloo, JC is on tour in Australia. He did come back to Babble briefly before he left.
YAY flosey!!! That was fast! (I went to the kitchen for a while)
Interesting , he is in Perth at the moment I hear, I should email him eh? Maybe he can meet me for coffee.
on tour?
Hmmmm we will see
Hi rur
nbt
yes, ruru
doing what?
That would be fun, sandy!
hi sandy
two heads jilli
entertaining, ruru -- that's his job
he is on tour here
flosey, I love that two-headed monster, lol!
what kind of entertaining?
I hate that rude word in the grid
lol
ruru, he's a comedian
lol jilli, think he found more than I did tonight
under what name?
darn who shrunk my babble? Morning all.
his own name, ruru, with those initials
Hi sprite!
wonderful icon and writeup, jilli
ruru, he's well known in the UK and OZ and NZ, not in North America
yours too, flosey
thanks, sprite!
sandy! long time no see! How are you and how is nicki?
hi all
hi Barb
hello Sprite, and ty
hi Barb
hi barb
Sprite, Hi! how is the little puppy?
big now, but as sweet as ever. Healthy, happy, naughty and adorable.
hi barb
hmmm I am not doing so great on this one
really small grids are often sneaky and tight
What this grid lacks in size it makes up for in anger
Nicky's shoulder operation failed and she had another one which seems to be sticking! However she fainted one day when it was over 40c and fell on the path and got burnt really badly. She spent nearly a month in hospital with very bad burns-
this one is a pattern grid
lol
but sandy, how about you and your daughter?
hey BabbleRabble, glad to see you.
Barb- I haven't met you before but I am a very horsey person
Oh, poor Nicky! She's been through so much!
well nice to meet you sandy
what;s a pattern grid?
A pattern grid, BR?
Jilli, Her mother is suffering too but she is well on the way to recovery now and is the best she has been for a long time\
oh how awful, sandy, I am so sorry! How is she doing now? And how are you yourself?
Sprite, I have felt so stressed over it all but now I am a lot better too, I can even smile again
It must have been hell
words having the same ending
Sprite, I have a new computor that's why I'm back , my old one was giving me hell/(as well as nicky Jilli)
have thought of you both a lot. Already thought things might be bad, because we didn't see either of you anymore. *hugs* to you both, and all good vibes I can stir up!
quite a few ie and y endings
indeed, BabbleRabble.
sandy, I have a new laptop and IT has been giving me hell! Windows 7 is so different from XP, and my favourite mail program is incompatible
I am glad to see that most of you are still here, I feel bad that I have not been playing but I felt too bad and didn't want to complain to you all. Now I don't need to complain!
all those new Window versions are confusing. Am so happy with my XP pro, lol.
Jilli, I have windows 7 but not for long enough to know about it yet
Nice to have you back, sandy
sandy, it is wonderful to see you again. You are always welcome in chog, also if you need to vent, btw!
it's really nice to be back but I know how much time it wastes....but it's worth it
time is ...well.. relative
ready for tomorrow, now off to bed, goodnight all
hehehe play as relaxation and it won't be a waste of time.
nite flosey
ruru, that is so deep ;)
barb , tell me a bout your horses
bye flosey
night flosey, sleep well
it's so deep I'm still thinking about it
what would you like to know? I have had them both for about 41/2 years now they are approx. 9 and 10 years old
as a friend of mine always said: we all have time. We have 24 hours a day. All the rest is a matter of priorities.
you have a horse too? what is yours?
I think I look at time differently than most
I have been riding for years, my daughter Diana was in pony club, showed , did dressage jumping ect. I have hunted and done events Have just one old boy at the moment but when Di comes back to perth we are getting some more
they are 1/4 horse crosses of some sort
what is your view on time, ruru?
I love horses with a bit of quarter horse , I think it gives them a brain
they black and white paint is possibly crossed with a thoroghbred he likes to think he is the leader of the pack....someone forgot to tell him he is now fixed LOL
My view on time is that everyday should be a year long, then I could enjoy life for a longer time
lol sandy
That means more eating , drinking wine
fireworks, but that was quick!
ruru's view on everything is unique! Greetings al and welcome back sandy
gratz graham
Hi mitch , great to see you
Good morning !!
the brown and white is possible crossed with some sort of draft as he is very sturdily built..I use to have an old Saddlebread which was rescued from slaughter and had had a horrible life. His last 3 years with us was a good life
hi FM :)
hello caitlyn :)
well done graham, I have 6 words so far LOL
good job graham
hi caitlyn
morning caitlyn
and you too sandy, sorry it has been a rough ride for you and daughter. Cait!!!!!!!!
Time: we are here.. we live.. we give...we rest..we love..and we go..
some Dane friends of ours also had Tennessee Walkers
Do you ride them Barb?
Rur, very profound ....
Nice, ruru
NOt sure if I should be flattered or indignant at FM's comment.
both, I'd say. Good call, ruru :)
be flattered dear ruru :)
My daughter wants a big warmblood which are very popular here for dressage. I prefer something smaller with less distance to fall
very little these days...had a bad fall of the black almost 3 years ago...it may of been the cause that started my FM of so bad. I can only last about 15 - 20 mins in the saddle
Hello FM -- missed your arrival
they love to give hugs and any and all attention and treats they can get
Hi FM
hi FM
I do not like this grid
Hi jilli , only pasing by as have to go out shortly but cun't help but have a quick chat.
I cannot find the last twelve
8 left here so far
Barb, I am 60 this year and definitely try to be as careful as possible
they get Iced Tea for they picked out birthdays (since we really don't know their real ones)
The gird is not too bad for those who have babbled for ver as it has quite a few babblets and familiar words.
Your ty4/7 has just sent you to the pb FM
Speak for yourself FM, I have forgotten all of those words
lol true FM
several are monkeyable if you look at the point count
*sigh* I'll grab a quick breakfast then whilst in there.
22 left and I am stuck...trying with the list but my brain isn't working
lovely, FM, glad for your company
Sorry FM LOL
cait, hope the sun is shining for you today and that all is well?
I noticed it too, FM, but at least there was an apostrophe in it
well. I am down to 11 and listless and stuck
FM, who is the beautiful cat?
hello everybody
Yes FM sun is shining and I had a little break in West Wales with my sis and mum last week so all ok ta, what about you?
hello everybody
hello everybody
hello everybody sunny but chilly
yay found my first 6
hello everybody sunny but chilly
hello everybody sunny but chilly
hello everybody sunny but chilly
Hells bells 8am - gotta run. Catch up with you guys later and have a good day!
tiny grid!
hi ruby
rubyfoo caught in the 2 am hiccup!
Bye FM see you later
sorry what happened there? meant to say hello but not 100 times!
you too FM
ruby -- you got caught by the hiccup again, lol!
Hi/bye ruby.
bye FM, have a wonderful day
Hi ruby
hah, sprite. How are you today? HI bye FM
hi caitlyn
remember it happens every day at this time
hi jilli
rubyfoo, just don't hit the enter button more than once, even at 2 am grid time, and all will be well :)
I guess I should try and get some sleep nice talking to you sandy
see you again barb
I thought I did something wrong, didn't notice the time, fighting with mr. nasty already, over breakfast today.....
night all (hugs) to all
a little better, rubyfoo, thanks for asking. Patience wearing thin, but hey, that is the true test of patience, right? How are you?
Bye for now Barb see you soon
night, barb -- have a good sleep
night Barb
patience about what, sprite?
getting well again, jilli, and feeling better.
everything could be so wonderful here.....
no matter what I say, the first thing out of his mouth is "no", even if he agrees with me (rare....)
better suit the questions to the answer then, rubyfoo... ask "Do you object?" Nooooo.
hahah
ruby, he sounds like a Republican
Great response sprite
sprite, I'm sure that requires an awful lot of patience -- hand in there
will do, jilli, thanks. Having people who care helps!
ruby has he always been like that or is it a mid life change?
I think he was, but we don't discuss politics! Yesterday, he was arguing whether a beautiful huge colorful bee was a bee or a hornet. I rescued it and he said "hornet". I wikied it and it was definitely a lovely bumblebee or honeybee or African honeybee but didn't say anything. I did an "ata" smugness. This morning, I told him and he said that wiki was totally unreliable!
I meant hang in there, of course -- glad you understand ty4nese
we've only been married 12 years, together more than 20, but he was always difficult. I think his age, 84, is changing him and he's getting worse, more forgetful and even nastier.
he needs to volunteer somewhere ..
hehehe rubyfoo, for some men it is hard to say "I was wrong"
Some people just have to be right all the time
he "volunteers" to do the food shopping and cut the grass; those are big pluses!
for some women too, btw
I am usually left all the time...
Oh, they ARE big pluses!
me, too
Aww, ruru!
lol ruru
last word, un5/12...
this is a hard little grid! I would have liked a big, leisurely one today
that is a respectable age, rubyfoo. Am sorry he is nasty. What can you do to improve things?
wow.. this is a stinker of a grid
jilli: loosen your shoes?
Finito!
nothing much. I try to take care of him but it isn't easy with somebody like that. And he's deaf, besides, so conversation is at a minimum
wtg jillibus! One stinker down!
Congrats jilli!
congrats, jilli!
the first 10 were easy! lol
get him active doing something new ruby that he likes
Funny, I didn't find it too bad. Maybe because it didn't have a lot of long words.
sounds like you need to find someone to babysit him for one day in the week, rubyfoo, or even just an afternoon, so you can do something for yourself and get a breather.
I did a lot of guessing.
(jillibus : New babble savant!)
sometimes I go to an afternoon movie with a friend, that's helpful
you are one smart lady, jilli. And well versed in babblisms, babblets and monkey business.
My monkeys guessed more than me !!
ruru has a great sense of humour
maybe he could find a girlfriend!
emphasis on monkey business
lol rubyfoo! Wouldn't that be great.
same silly co5 word as yesterday!
lol ruby and ruru for different reasons!
hold it, rubyfoo, not silly for our aussie babblers!
It's not silly, ruby -- a useful call in OZ
but yestyerday there was also an s version
cait, be sweet to your monkeys then! Extra bananas.
Speaking of bananas...time for my goodnight snack
Anyone want clues?
They have had them sprite, but they like them with sugar on the top LOL
I thought it was a thank you for your monkeys!
milk and banana... go for it, jilli. And hurry back ;)
ruby, the s version is useful for pig farmers
and that co has 2 spellings today
facto
ipse facto, indeed. But not valid.
I have to go to bed at a reasonable hour, sprite!
Time I had my shower and started the day, hope everyone has a good day/night.See you later, bye
uh uh, not a word but pb anyway, maybe there's some coffee
bye cait!
bye caitlyn
I'll nail those last ten in the a.m.
you are right, jilli, as usual, and wise. Sleep well, dear lady, and dream of pleasant things!
gd night, ruru
night all.. sandy.. good to see you show up again
night ruru, and yes I noticed you running after jilli again.
:D
nite rur
nite jilli
hi sandy
Hmm...not only is a player for the Twins in the grid, but he's a word, too!
sprite, is terra as much fun as you anticipated?
hello douglas -- only know the mets!
even more, sandy. He is so funny and sweet. He can make me laugh even if I feel awful and down, and he is full of silly surprises all the time. He is innocent and curious and brave and cuddly... ok will stop here. You can guess the rest :)
he sounds like a wonderful dog, sprite!
fireflies. Not so very tough grid, but it helps to know babblets.
Ozzie Guillen, manager of the White Sox, called him "a little piranha"
Sprite! Has he chewed things up, dug holes, got into the rubbish , killed the neighbours chooks..... anything bad?
he is, rubyfoo!
uh oh, dreaded footsteps; I had better get dressed. See you later
bye for now, ruby!
hmz... chewed up one chair and one pouffe. Dug holes under fence until my love put in chicken wire. He rubbed noses (nose to beak, actually) with a baby magpie, but never tried to bite. His worst habit is chewing up paper and eating it.
TTFN, rubyfoo
Some dogs got onto our property and killed our lovely little pet sheep. Bruce was away and I had to dig a huge hole and bury it. But I caught one o the dogs and took it to the pound. It'
well, that and rolling in anything dead and/or stinking
bye rubyfoo
aw sandy that is sad
Its owner got in touch with the pound and handed the other dog in. It was very sad, but they had to be put down because once they kill, they keep doing it
doubly sad :(
Well he sounds pretty perfect Sprite if that's all he's done.
Really sad Sprite because I felt soooo guilty about it, but these dogs also chased the horses and there was no choice
that's awful about those dogs and the sheep -- so sad.
yep, nothing big or terrible. We once came downstairs in the morning to find him in the midst of a paper explosion. My love had left a carton box with old paper on the floor... Terra found it and had a ball with it. He was sitting in the middle of the mess and looking soooo smug :D
no I can see that, sandy. If that instinct to kill is activated, what else can one do?
I think the people really loved the dogs and that made it worse but really there was no choice
41 words! good grief
Sprite, be careful about the paper thing. My m-i-l lost a lovely English Setter because he ate sowm leftover icecream, carton and all, that he found in the garbage. It jammed up his innards and surgery was too late.
clue for to5-22, please.
I just dont know if I Have the time to do such a huge grid
i have to be off. Glad to have seen you again, sandy, hope you will be able to be around more often again! Give my love and hugs to nicky and have some yourself as well. Bye all, thanks for the fun!
SPRITEY!!!!! ((HUGS))
Hi mel and kimm!
mel, hi and bye! *HUGS* to you and yes, you will find the time. Somehow.
hiyas Jilli =)
bye sprite, really great to talk again and i will be around
and kimm: place to live in + ending.
hi jilli!
to 5/22 is the same as the previous word but with a sometime vowel at the end
only have the four letters to do
sprite -- I hoope you saw my warning a minute ago!
(2 minutes ago)
Don't children get owies? *mumbling and gruttering about dictionary*
FIREWORKS!! thanks jilli! Good night!
YAY kimm!!! And goodnight to you and everyone else -- I'm off to bed.
nite jilli\
Sweet dreams, kimmtoats
Thanks guys!
evening all
Good evening girlie
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy I bet her momma never told her why
I already hate this grid
I got past halfway a while back, and decided to go to Lickety's clues
going to have something to eat be back later
I just clued something, girlie, if that helps...
haha, thanks, took me a while to figure it out
shes living in a down**** world!
I didnt get the clue until I found the word lol
There are two baseball players in the grid, one currently playing for the Twins, one who once played for the Astros.
I have nbt! and one word left!
nbt?
NBT = no blank tiles
no blank tiles, where one has at least one word from every tile. I consider it an accomplishment if I get to nbt and get half of the words without assistance
The player for the Twins in the grid has a .248 lifetime batting average
ahhhhh, excellent going :)
7 left
The player for the Astros in the was nicknamed "The Toy Cannon," as he hit for significant power despite his short stature
~ Firewords ~ what an onery little grid
I recall there being a seat in the upper deck of the Astrodome with a cannon painted on it, to commemorate an extra-long home run this player hit
291 career home runs is certainly nothing to sneeze at
and we have fireworks
Congrats meliae - btw, do you use onery on a regular basis. I use ornery, and didn't realize onery was a word until I started Babbling
meliae, I agree
Yay girlie!
*basis?*
How about you, girlie? Do you say "onery" or "ornery?"
ornery :)
I agre with you, douglas, nbt and half is fine with me. When I do better, it's just gravy!
Morning all...wow, the Americans are up early!
Wow you are up early too NB :)
Hi ruby hows the garden coming along?
hello all, help with the a pls
Hello peri
I know, FMitch ;) it's because we forgot that we had a repairman coming. So I greeted him blearily, at 8am, in my jammies!
umperi trying to think of a clue, give me a mo.
ac + a word for a gathering of building bigger than a town but add a vowel after the c
LOL NB
how many letters pls
ac6/30
ty, will look
great clue, got it, ty , FM
NBT and 11 left
yay not my most elegant clue but glad it worked.
he looked at me like he was really really hoping I'd say that he had the wrong flat ;)
poor chap!
Are you used to daylight at this hour of the day? I get the impression that you are a night time person?
really stuck, going back to bed, hopefully to get some sleep, bye for now
I am DEFINITELY a night time person, FMitch. It's not right for the sun to be so bright in the morning. There's something about being up before 10am that makes me feel just plain ILL, lol
yes Peri, go to bed!!
TTFN peri and sweet dreams.
LOL I have been up since very early o'clock used to be a night owl when much younger but now mornings seem to the my body clock preference.
Oh no FMitch...what time did you surface today?
5.30 :(
But on the upside have got so much done that I can rest on my laurels this afternoon.
5:30?! Made my eyes water...
So long as the laurels are not too prickly :)
LOL! I'm usually getting home by 5:30...;)
As you get older NB you sleep patterns change - as do many other things so you enjoy your time now!!
Morning all......here! here! Mitch...lolol
that is sooooo true!
Hi Flask!
Hi, Flask! FMitch, I don't need telling twice! ;)
Hi, Flask! FMitch, I don't need telling twice! ;)
and on that note I must away for a while. TTFN
NB....It won't last for ever....hee-hee!
same here....bye Mitch and NB!
bye, ladies, take care!
U too...X
Hello.
good morning all, I think I shall save my last 12 for the evening, but I wanted to say Hello and goodbye!
Hi Red
hi everyone
i haven't been around for weeks
Hi Andree
Damn thunder storm made me squell
Forty One? Fabulous!
Hi Jayk
Morning!
think this has teeth
Morning, again :)
NANCY I was sad that I had missed you
winy
hmm...perhaps it does
Opps have a free word
not quite Herin ;) I'm off and on...taking care of Leo AND the repairman is a full-time job.
What did the Leo do to himself?
LOL - "the Leo" ;) no, he's looking after me with my injured hand, although he's not gonna help me wash my hair until the repairman is gone...we don't want to alarm him!
awww
how are you, though?
just having a relax I should be studying
lol nancy
I hear that...I'm trying to work up the enthusiasm to go to work later, but it's the afternoon shift in the pub, so verrrry dull.
If I was there I could make it interesting
I wish, Herin! It's mainly dribbly old men ;)
ewww
ugh
yep! I play "count the disapproving glances" to pass the time ;)
that doesn't sound fun
it's getting better actually, some of the regulars are gradually beginning to adjust to me ;)
maybe they are getting past the glances to the real person
that's slightly novel for London, Andree ;)
That makes life a lot easier Nancy
you got it. it's the funny thing about living in a big city; people are very afraid to be friendly. I don't know about where you two live - any different?!
i live in the suburbs in sydney and people are very live and let live types
i am anyway
I used to love catching the train with one of my punk friends he was a big pussy cat
ha ha i am too old to have punk friends
I used to be a punk friend! still have the nipple ring to prove it, LOL
1983, Billy Joel's "Up**** Girl"
Hello everyone
i am so old i tend to look at piercings and wonder if it hurts
hi lynxxx
hi, Lynx!
HI Lynxx
only when it snags on something...eeek
Oooh Lynx, ouch!
ouch
used to work with a girl who had both ears 'split' - not sure how that happened and didn't care to find out5!
once a friend's dog jumped up and managed to get its claw hooked around mine...owwwwww!!
gahhh!
I take out my ears and nose piercing's in all situations that could cause injury in music mosh pits.
oh god yes, Herin! I went to a gig the day after I had my tattoo done and was a step away from ending up curled in a ball by the front barrier ;)
I'm going to disappear - anyone want anything b4 I go?
wow - the black economy in Greece is 37% - no wonder they are in trouble
Night all.
i have hardly made a dint in this, i have been away so long i am out of practise
Night Lynxx
Nancy that was silly.
O and I got ''approval'' to get my second tat idea to
true, but I couldn't get the band to rearrange their schedule ;)
Hi everyone. I was all geared up for a nice-sized grid this morning... oh well!
ooh, what are you getting, Herin
?
HI Brookie.
Hi herin!
hi brookie
Nancy. http://tinyurl.com/y6tjkz2 this is one
Hi andree!
did you get it to celebrate something, or just to decorate yourself? ;)
At least my favorite babblet (the currency) is in the grid today...
http://tinyurl.com/c8f5nn This is the other one but I want to meld the heart together with my b.fs first name initial which symbolises when my friend died (he had the same first name initial) my heart was broken but my b.f then mended it.
The green circle is Type O Negatives band symble
sweet idea :) I'm all for getting tattoos that are representative of loves or memories, that's why I have my "Leo" lion!
aww.
Peter Steele died last week one of my fav bands that got me through epic crap
that sucks, Herin! Wish I could stay longer, but I should be off to work :/ (which also sucks) - see you later! x
Loves
bye nancy
Andree how you going?
i am fine thx herin
starting to storm again
no storms here, we are enjoying an indian summer
we are
It was 29 C today crazy
fireworks
and so its goodnight from me
night Andrew
hello everybody. I'm back to another shot at this nasty little grid. I got 22 words on my first go-round but it doesn't look promising for more!
Ruby hun HUGS
it is beautiful here, just a little bit hazy
hiya herin
I am about to slap a class mate
I hope you're bigger!
what is don't like about this grid is that every [tiny] word seems to be discreet, no builders
yes but she is all I can't be bothered reading all that. I can't either but I will later
what I don't like about this grid is that is sucks
that, too, jean!
;-p
see you later; I give up with 22 words
O don't leave ruby
Good afternoon to anyone that is out there :)
Hi FM. I am here.
Hello erin, did you get your essay done?
Nope but that is ok the teacher is ok with it
Fair enough!
oh flip - phone brb.
good morning,this looks like a tiny but evil one;/
morning, all -- was just reading Iranian cleric's statement that recent earthquakes are due to women's lack of modesty! LOL
talk about the ladies rocking my world lol
Hi
:-D
hey, herin and crossy :-)
howdy une
12 words to go and still no sixes . . .
11 . . .
apparently I "specialize" in 4-letter words! LOL
as do i;)
I am thinking bed
yuck
hey, kaplan
Tell it as it is Cap
I'll check in later
good lord,i found a 5
go, crossy!
good morning all - what only 41 words - this is going to be brutal
HI Momn
howdy mom,just starting as well and yes it is evil
hey, mom :-)
oooh I got a 5 letter word too
yaaa for mom!
ok . . . ac6/30: sharpness, keenness
Snap I just found that
ty uni'
and with 10 to go, gotta run -- BBL *poof*
bye une
how are you ?
hello everyone
thanks une for the ac6
hi annie
Hi Annie
hi herin and momneeds
I can offer clues for the other 6's if anyone wants?
Hi pinny, I just started so I will hang in there. Nasty little grid.
Good morning folks
hi mr bob
it is a nasty little grid - nasty word too
hi mr bob
hello friends. man, this grid is making me cross!
yes the c4 word does crop up from time to time unfotunately.
hi trif - you got that right
one of my students said it by accident the other day - she is a very young girl, and does not know all her vowel combinations quite yet. "count" came out VERY wrong
HI FM! Didnt see the c4--hate that word
I found looking at it sidewase helped :)
Hello Annie.
and the laugh was stuck in your throat
When my son was very very young and working on his speech he said F**k when he came off the bus...I was upset and called the Resource Teacher and she asked me if he pronounced it correctly.
I remember my son trying to say fire truck when he was learning to talk
oh dear!
lol but I have to admit I hate the way the F word has become common usage. I am not a prude and feel there are so many other wonderful words that could be used instead.
Lazy language.
Guess that what makes me a babbler *grin*
fmitch, I have that discussion with the fry all the time! The F word makes the speaker sound less intelligent that they are, and I emphasize how many other words are more effective. Like "syphallitic druid" - THAT is a good insult!
taking notes
LOL Trif. great words there!
LOL, Trif...have to remember that insult
syphallictic druid is going to have so much more impact than the F word!
"myrmidon" is another favorite - they were greek warriors that followed their leader blindly, no matter what, like robots.
woohoo - first two columns grayed
and my theory is, when you whiff such a word in4 an argument, right away you have thrown the other combatant, as they have to spend brain power trying to figure out what you just said, and they start feeling insecure, as they know you are WAY smarter than they are, and they start to doubt they can win the argument. And thus, you have already won.
I need to take lessons from Trif
and Trif needs to get ready for work, being the good myrmidon that I am.....have a good day all, and may whatever god you believe in bless you
bye Trif - have a great day
bye Trif, bless you too
****big wet kisses for all!****
Mornin' All
hi hego
Why is it as you get older you are prone to tears? Just watchec Bill Crystal being interviewed and then he sang one of his big hits for the 80's ( I think) song called @Suddenly' ( I think). SAstill mopping up and blowing nose ast was one of my favourtie songs.
hi hego
*holding tissue to mitch's face*
jeez so many ty4 in that post hope you can interpret it! Thanks Mom :)
*hugs FM and pats her head*

Hi Hego

cu5/16 is a cu*** pie (sweet kid)
Annie when you look at a baby you say he's a real C****
oh, gosh
Oh Sea thanks, should have seen that..pass the flounder
I have only found 9 words thus far....geesh!
and thanks pinny
1 left...

No problemo
Good morning, I have the cu5 you are saying but it is only cu5/14 not 16, what am I missing?
no cu 5/16. co5/16
fireworks!
There isnt a cu5.16 but there is a co 5.16.
YAAAYYY!!! Annie!
Congrats Annie!!!
yahoooo annie
Can I get a clue for the on5?
do you have a clue for co5/16, please
similare to the CO 5 16
opps 5 14
co 5/16 ----to make cute noises at a baby then "an **e for an **e" etc
Take the aboriginal call and change the last letter for the sometimes vowel
similar to op5
Firestarter (twisted firestarter)!
Thanks Marc
LOL and congrats Pinny
annie that came out to be co5/12
there is a co 5/12 and a co 5/16, marc
read my clue at 7:47
yes hence the two
2 very dumb words
herin, how is school?
Long
Silly me got it
hego, the co 5/16 is the last name of that evil person who killed that little girl in Florida and buried her alive. His name gives me the chills.
glad you got it, marc
I think this is the smallest puzzle I've ever seen
ooo, really Aniie. How awful.
Soory I am a little bit brain dead at the moment
actually, he raped her, kept her in his trailer and then buried here. I dont mean to go on and on about it but it is so chilling.
ac5?
morening all
Hi sue
Scary even
Hi Sue
there is no ac5---it is ac6 meaning shrewdness
very twisty today
Is there a better clue for ac6 because I am not clear enough to get it from shrewdness, please?
the eye doc tests your visual ac6
good clue, hego
nurse clue Annie. lol
which gave me op5. :o)
would anyone like a clue before I leave?
still having trouble with ac6, I don't know why?
very up and down marc. lots of turns
ty o
Night ALl
oops, sorry about that
nite Herin

To5 18 like the to6 without a consonant in the middle
the wy is like the last name of the owner of the bellagio hotel in vegas

and which might those be?
and the pu5 - 3 words left
both co5 rhyme with the pig call
3 of the 4 are vowels
Thanks. Last is pu5

Hello everyone! May I please have a clue for the A?

Hi car
he ata
TY!
that was supposed to be HI ata
Just finished typing all my ophthalmology reports...probably should have gotten that one!
hello everybody. While I'm burning dinner, I just wanted to tell mom that my "mystery" white tulips, when open, were pale pink, bright pink, white and green, almost like parrot tulips and are gorgeous. So no more whining
hi ata
those sound beautiful - congrats on the wrong bulbs - it all worked out for the best then
hi ruby!
lovely and fancy' I'll take pix in the morning when the light is right
would love to see them
hi ata. Did you see my comments re: Bella. She is definitely a cutie; you can see her personality on her face.
fireworks
guess i need to work now
well done good enough
chows are interesting in that no two look alike, even from the same parents, and you can always tell the males from the females!
haven't had a chance to look on FB today, but you're right, she is! she's a big soft teddy bear
YAY good enough
work? OMG! It's been too long.....
Ruby is limping but won't let me touch her paw....
awww poor baby!
she must have a thorn or a pine needle
ruby, let your mom see!!
she is such a cuddler, that normally, I can touch any place on her body and she just swoons
give dog belly rub,when she rolls over you can check paw at your leisure
my dogs ran into a porcupine last week - must haved pulled 30 quills from my old girls mouth
omg mom, the poor baby!
no, she is too canny for that!
I've heard of that happening, mom, no porcupine in France, just hedgehogs and I've never seen one. They must be edible!
she sat there very quietly while we pulled them out with pliers. Luckily got them all so didnt have to take her to the vet. My young one only had one quill - guess she is smarter
That is so sweet, mom, Ruby is very distrustful and when the vet comes to the house to see Max, she either runs away or hides under the table
speaking of wildlife, this is a bear of a grid!
mine both shake like crazy when going to the vet. Just had their physicals a couple weeks ago. They put the brakes on just as we get to the door and then shake very badly.
Max has never been off the property' he is too strange and if he ever got loose, nobody could ever catch him
how is he strange
he is autistic, for one thing, and extremely timid. Fortunately, he's gentle, so never a biting problem. Just sort of beautiful and pathetic
hobbit loooooves our vet. silly dog
Ruby trembles like that when there is wind or fireworks (not the babble kind) and needs to be comforted
ohh poor thing - lucky for him he has you as him Mom
how did you work that, ata?
no idea! she bounds in there, runs around and fusses all the receptionists and nurses, and almost drags me down to the vet rooms!
I think that black chows are too inbred; he;s the second one with whom we've had trouble. They are incredibly beautiful, though.
those things dont bother mine - thank goodness - they are hunting dogs so are used to gunshots - I guess lightning sounds the same
that is so cute!
and Ruby hate whistling! Even on television, it makes her annoyed
dinner, now, see you all later
lucky you ata - I literally drag mine in while they have their brakes on. Its weird because they are very obedient and heel properly but when it comes to the vet, they will not listen to command - totally frightened
bye ruby
So, I have volcanic ash on my car.
oh no haz
no kidding, haz, put a sample in a bottle
Haz! La Glitteratina!
and look at it under a microscope
It looks like sand, really fine stuff. I suppose it'll mean extra work for the car washes.
Bonjour!
but it is very abrasive, n'est-ce pas?
It's just fine and dirty looking, not really sure about its abrasive qualities.
arghhhh! dinner and I don't feel like serving it although it's cooked. DH is in a cranky mode
can any1 please help me with co5 12?
I was at a shopping centre today and lots of the cars are even worse than mine. There's a strong wind blowing, maybe that's why it's come down.
co5/12 - two sets of double letters
thanks so much!!
Hi Haz
getting ash fallout mom?
Hello, Boo.
haz i mean
I am, crossy,
not me - that would be haz
if it came this far - everyone is in big trouble
Yes, first noticed it today, I'm sure the mainland will be getting it as well.
ive not seen the news today,has it lessened or is it worse?
They keep changing their stories. Last night they announced that it was getting better, that flights would resume etc. Within minutes, it seemed, they were saying that actually a fresh cloud had gathered and that things were bad again.
lessened then worsened I think
mmm
hi all
howdy jmc
So, some flights took off, but not as many as they had hoped.
Hello, jmc.
i am guessing even i won't take long on this grid
just a thought,last time this one erupted in the 1800,2,it did so for 2 years;((
The best declared time so far is about four minutes, jmc. That's your target.
im actually making this one last,why do it in a race.all that waits for me is laundry...lol
I did it in 17 seconds
any1 help with fo4 /7?
If it keeps this up for two years, there won't be any airlines left to take anybody anywhere, or at least European airlines.
yaa for ata!
What did you do in 17 seconds, you braggart?
Hi Crossy
fo4/7 - a typeface perhaps?
Uni!
ok, maybe not. LOL
europe will all be trains and boats,of course we will buy up all your planes for north america;0
UNIIIIIIIIIIIII
howdy boo
fo4/7 is the keyboard lettering style
Your e-mail about the de6 from the other day just made me come to babble...15 minutes before leaving for an exam!
*Smiles all around* :D
Oh exams! What joy for you, but good of you to drop in.
de6/24 - it never fails to raise a smile.
Now watch as everyone scrabbles to find a d in the grid....
Rarely does a word produce such instant and fond memories as the darling deodar.
I know. It's rarely seen so I don't know if it qualifies as a babblet.
vry rarely
what's a babblet?
HAH!
>>>>>>>>>>>>FIREWORKS<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
congrats buttonman
Well done, Buttonman!
Congratulations! Did you beat Ata's 17 seconds?
THANKS HAZ
thanks Uni and Mom
whoo hoo buttonman
dumb staff always interrupting me in my important babbling
It takes a brave person to interrupt a babbler knowingly.
It's probably proof of my twisted mind, but when you said 'dumb staff, I immediately thought of them trying out frantic sign language to get your attention.
My husband tries that quite often - he is learning to back away
lol i know sign language but they don't except my son
Oh my. My sign language only allows me to say that I love cheese.
lol
lol surely you can manage i love you as well
When they start throwing themselves at your feet with beseeching hands, you'll know to stop typing.
Well, I could try.
so is canadian sign language like british sign language or american sign language
It's interesting that I learned to say I love cheese instead though, hah!
different accent
i bought a net book so that i could take my laptop to be repaired
lol
Depends on the book you pick up (assuming you learn it that way). I would assume that as a country we use British, but we get more American books. It's a little complicated.
fireworks
lol no british is two handed and american is based on the french and is one handed mostly
Well done, Boo!
thats great Boo
Ata loves my accent. I bet it comes out strongly in sign language. I'm sure there is a sign for 'eh'.
whoo hoo boo
Well, the sign for cheese that I learned takes two hands...
Congrats, Boo!
it's soooo cute
lol i am sure there is
ty
co 5/12 please
c + two sets of double vowels
c and a pair of double vowels, Miz.
how's your mom, uni?
I need to go - have fun all
how rural!
only sign language i need,is 'where is the bacon "yes i would like a drink" "sure i love cheese" and "where is the bathroom" :)
Bye, Mom.
Ah, and I must away to the bus. Then to the exam. I'll see you fine folks later, perhaps!
thanks! What an interesting word!
((Lori seems fine!!)) *fades into distance*
tc uni
Bye, Uni - all the best for the exam. Think of us for inspiration.
i try to learn please ty and tea in all languages where i travel. there is a universal crossing of legs for bathroom
bye uni
good luck dearest!
lol,if she uses us for inspiration,she will spend half her time looking for the word etui in her test:)
what is the exam?
literature of some sort I would think
is it woca woca woca or wooka wooka wooka?
Has anybody got the restraints ready for jmc?
that is an important philosophical question
do you want to hear what we had at KWT today?
Yes!
chocolate cookies, white chocolate cookies, chocolate brownie cake, clotted cream shortbreads, victoria sponge, and um something else!
So, you majored on the cookies?
choc cookies are my favourite thing. had a tiny bit of the brownie cake too, just to try
It sounds good. And tea?
lots of tea
TOTALLY AMAZING THING JUST HAPPENED!!!
George Clooney came in?
remember when my house was burgled in Nov the week before my mother died?
Yes.
And lots of stuff was taken, wasn't it?
(i wish -- if he had i wouldn't be talking to you guys we'd be in a lip lock)
the police just called and it appears they caught the guy and got my laptop back!
Brilliant news!
wooooot!
And can you bash him over the head with it while the police hold onto him?
they found my business card which fell out of my purse when they were rifling it and so the police called me!
no no haz i do not bash people over the head!
Or would that not look good for the director of a peace-seeking organisation?
maybe a little slap up side the head but no bashing
You could pretend to be about to bash him, just to get him scared.
hmmm i am not sure that fits the nonviolent persona
All joking aside, let's hope your laptop still has the stuff you need.
to5,18 please...last one!
*sigh* that would be so nice. of course most of what i needed i needed for tax season but the photos of Mother i really would be glad to see
to5/18 - take out the n from to6/30 - the non-rurual dweller.
I hope it works out for you, jmc.
ty...fireworks...never woulda figgered that one out!
whoo hoo jeff!
Well done, Jeff!
ok bbl i need to call my son and stuff
up 6/36 please
way to go Jeff!
Hi everybody. Desperately seeking a clue for the FO 4/7???
up6 - the sort of girl that Billy Joel sang about.
fo4/7 - Times New Roman, Arial bold, as used in a christening, take your pick.
thanks!
Good woman yourself Haz. Thanks a mill.
You're welcome, Miz.
You're entirely welcome, Soodle.
she's useful, isn't she?
Very handy to have a Haz around. Every grid should have one :)
Except in a sewing crisis.
Youre on your own in that event!
we can't all be perfect
As a veteran of many crises (crisays??), sewing crisis'es don't scare me one bit!
Right, despite being useful in a grid crisis and for supplying scathing comments, time I was taking Spangle out for a late walk. We'll risk it without the breathing apparatus..... Soodle -we have ash!
have a lovely walk!
I'll just use a wet hankie and try not to breathe too deeply. Spangle can hold her breath.
Bye!
Apparently that cloud is right over us, Haz... Gasmask at the ready....
*gone.... in a cloud of ash*
glad im not over there,i have issues breathing regular air nevermind with ash added
hi. are there any clues for the co 5-16 please
never mind i have just got it
are there any clues for ac 6-30 please
when you have keen vision ,you see with ac****
thanx crosshair. i ahve now finished FIREWORKS
yaa for sandra!!
clue for to5/18 please
and Fireworks! ... despite a poor internet connection this morning
congrats merk!
to 5 ... first three letters of the to 4,8 and add three vowels.
I mean add two vowels. Different ones than you already used.
What a dumb clue!
morning all
ty ... and I gotta go ... have a good remainder to your day!
ty merk, i got it.
either of the co5's please
howdy barb
co 5/12 sounds like calling the pigs for dinner
thanks crossy
:)
evening all :) just popped on for a few minutes.
hi nb
ok, will find last 3 now
co5/16?
I'm regretting starting this already.
it's not tooooo bad
Hello Nancy Boy
oh! LOL FM's favourite thing is in the grid
put me out of my misery, co5/16, last word
different spelling of a co5/12 probably
holly did you get your co5/16?
I need that one too
do you have the co5/12?
i have them all but the co5/16
if so change your last letter to the sometimes vowel
thanks so much Barb! FIREWORKS!!
yeah I helped
congrats firefly
thanks again - off to other endeavors. Happy Babbling all!
bye
ff
yay firefly!
4 to go
back after dinner
by ruby
no, I'm back, after dinner. That's like Eats shoots and leaves!
welcome back! how's ruby's paw?
she's whining at me, very unusual for her, but she let me touch it and I couldn't feel anything
For big dogs, these chows are very fragile!
poor baby! maybe the thorn or whatever came out on its own and it's just a little owie now
you might be right
this is such a strange grid -- each word is on its own
could she have maybe caught a nail and pulled it...I had a dog do that once...took me a while to see what he had done
eeewww! that's a horrible idea, barb. Was it bloody?
I think it's more likely to have been a thorn as she spends a lot of time under the hedge and brings a lot of plants back in with her.
not the cleanest house!
actually in one case I had a dog actually rip off three nails and the quicks were just there..what a mess
I hope it was just a thorn and it will feel better soon
ouch!
three to go
how awful!
it turned out in my case that he was sick and we didn't know it..but I am sure that isn't anything to do with your dog's paw
chows certainly have big enough paws to check over!
fat paws!
HUGE paws!
bear paws :D
yes dakota's paws are huge to
Max has huge paws, huge head, big angel ears and then it all tapers down to very lean hips and a chewing-on tail....
Am I blind? How is an fo4,8 before fo4,7 possible?
it's def possible, I Mac!
very possible!
Even I have that
what kind of dog is Dakota?
I have tried everything...must be blind then!
do your chows have flat fur bits above their back legs where the tail sits?
Dakota is a great pyrennesXsheppard
fo + **A - USA spy people
no, Ruby's tail is a huge plume which is always up and her bottom has very long fur, like mud flaps on an old Pontiac!
one more...to4/10 the last to
Oh my god...I am blind. Thank you!
I just got him shaved down for summertime
oh! Bella has a funny flat patch of fur where her tail rests :D
she looks like she's wearing a dress
Still trying to get used to this.
it takes a while, I_Mac, and you get used to normal Babble words!
You will get it I-Mac...I am still learning too
Good evening all
Dakota must be huge!
FMMMMMMMMMMMMM! I hope you note that your greatest skill is in the grid!
hello FM
Dakota is 150lbs
hi FM
oh my! That's a big dog
the chows are half that
Hi Ata and ruby et al. My greatest skill??
ty4 :D
ac6!
Oh lol yes it is *grin*
YES...FIREWORKS YES
whoa barb!!!! yay
Today has been prety free of ty4's Congrats Barb!
Ack I spoke too soon!
what about FM's ac6 for people?
very prety
*loves FM so much!*
going to try and change my picture...have tried a few times but it wont work..brb
good luck!
Thanks ruby that is so sweet :)
(((Ata)))
I did it...fireworks!
Did I tell you we're going to the Scillies next week, FM? You won't see me on Babble much for 2 weeks, but I'll still get email fine
ruby had to click on the ? to find out what the word meant - another day another new word to be learnt.
gd night everybody
yay IMac! *giggle* just noticed the similarity between IMac and Immac
yes you did dear but glad to know yo uwill still be on email.
hope tomorrow is as nice as today. so want to have a long walk on the beach
couldnt remember who I'd told ooops!
yeah I changed my picture this is Dakota and Hooch..what a size difference
poor Sily is going to cattery
Hooch likes to wash dakota from head to toe...one of these days I am going to get a hairball coughed up the size of another dog LOL
wow!!!
Great pic Barb.
congrats I-Mac
How can you be so cruel Ata???? Poor Sily :)
well .... it was either the cattery or starvation at home ;) Really I should just drop her off with you with her litterbox :P
oh yes please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I could.
if you actually *meant* that, I would do! LOL but I know you're busy - if it was for 3 days, I'd do it :P
and you really MUST come down when I get back
If it was for a couple of days I would truly do it and I appreciate the fact that you would trust me with her.
Yes deffo as now leg is back to normal I can drive happily so let me know on your return.
I know you would :) 2 weeks isn't fair on you though! You'd need ear muffs before long. And of course Id trust you with her! I'd even almost trust Hobbit with you :P
wooooot!
Hugs and happiness
it's even starting to be really springlike here. Kent is just gorgeous from now onwards till autumn!
well I guess I have to get some lunch now. Everyone have a great day. bye for now
TTFN Barb
When are you off then Ata?
ooo FM! I have a new macro lens for my camera - and it turns out I can take pics of birds with it!
Satudary morning, after dropping the cat off at cat dungeon
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid= 163248&id=791769231&l=26256f8d03
ooooh I have a macro lens for my old Pentax.
cat dungeon LOL
Bet you will get some incredible pics.
lol I shouldn't call it that, but I always do.
hi all, halfway done already
www.kopperkins.co.uk - not exactly a cat dungeon :P
hi Gwen!
Hi Book DG
and hello mrs. k if you are here . . .
and hi atalante
and hi mitch
and I went to Fego's on Friday - but Fego's S'dale. Yum!
Tsk, would have loved to have joined you.
was with Ems - then we went off to the London party! but omg. had chilli chicken, halloumi and avocado panini. soooo god!
good!
Am trying to work out a viable route for my GodMother to come and visit but as I am so rurual now public transport from Ascot is horrendous.
it really would be easier just to go and pick her up, I think
fireworks
That would mean a 3 hour round trip :(
Congrats salmo!!
yay salmo!
wtg salmo !!!! ~~~~ !!!!
not easy any way ...
on the upside am popping over to see Mum tomorrow a quick 20 mins drive :)
:D:D
instead of the hour and a qurater it used to be.
help the british commonwealth is outnumbering me! LOLOL
rule britannia! britannia rules the waves (just not the air)
god save the queen, oi
A week now (almost) and no flights out of most UK airports is very eerie.
is there a lot of ash hitting you guys?
odd isn't it. and somehow absolutely lovely. but I suspect only because I don't want to fly anywhere
I would say it's quiet, FMitch, but where I live there's no such thing as quiet
yes Ata, glad I don't have to be anywhere but feel for those that do and al lthe businesses that depend on it. Hey NB!
brb
hi NB!
sorry to be impolite, evening all ;) my little sister's maths teacher is stuck in California. Lucky - both my sister and the teacher!
very!
Hi all! Love these small grids. Don't feel guilty trying to finish.
I love them too, Carol
oooh I don't like the smaller grids - the chat always goes very quiet because everyone finishes so quickly!
NB, had the oddest cocktail the other day. cherry liqueur, chocolate liqueur and champagne. very odd!
I don't chat with the larger grids, I'm too busy trying to find words.
Cocktail? I'll have two...
UNI DARLING! *mwah*
Never heard of that one before, Ata! Sounds very rich - nice?
how was the exam?
find words? sometimes I forget that's what I'm here for...
nor had I, so I had to try it. The first sip I thought was very odd. Every sip after that got nicer! Very unusual, but very lovely
The exam is over, and that's what counts. I wrote and wrote, and now it's done. Two on Friday, and I have myself an undergrad degree!
clever Uni!
Uni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
finished everything but middle row, yay
*utter happiness seeing Uni*
sending you good luck, Uni
Happy days to see Uni here:))))))
Thanks for the love, guys. Also, MAMA FM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Hugs!
If I had any of my delicious and bad for you homemade perogies, I'd give you some. Can anyone guess what I'm in the mood for? ;)
How've you been, beautiful Mama?
All the better for seeing you dear.
people are writing such nice comments on my new macro photos. am amazed!
What a pretty kitty pic! Is this a kitty I should know?
Bacon? Oh no that's Crossy.
fireworks! bye bye gotta run run POINK
Your macro photos are so ridiculous!! I love them..had no idea that kind of detail existed, heh.
I wish, t'was my icon pic from pet Monday - Norwegian Forest cat - would love to have one.
Congrats Book
even I'm quite amazed! I'm going to the beach tomorrow and you're going to get soooo bored with photos from there!
I had bacon yesterday. We Canadians are more alike than one might think. But right now I very much want some perogies. Loaded with cheese, and I make a sour cream dough to make them even more better for my taste buds.
I never get bored of beach photos. I've been on a kick of taking shots of trees with sun behind them.
I have a friend I sew for and she pays me in perogies.
those sound soooo good!
you wouldn't happen to offer a vegan option? ;)
I could loan you Emma, FM. She's no forest cat, but she can take down (or at least spot) mice like no-one's business. She killed one, maimed one and found two more for us last week.
sounds like a good deal Carol
I make veggis perogies, but no vegan. J'aime le fromage!
what a good cat!!!! hunter of glory!
Mmm, payment in perogies. What a life.
can get vegan cheese i think?
Am still happily glowing that ta would trust me with Sily and Hobbit. The ultimate accolade.
Really? Vegan cheese? How do you make cheese without the dairy aspect?
:D Sily would return soooo spoiled! I'd never hear the end of it :)
maybe I'm imagining it. NB?
LOL
Ooh. To sit Sily and Hobbit is high honour indeed!
I've never come across it, Ata, but I'm guessing there's going to be some sort of catch :P lemme google it!
Google says there is vegan cheese alternative. Fake cheese. I don't know that I like this..
I have Hobbit at my right side, sitting by me. And Sily at my left side, fast asleep in her basket
I know one can buy vegetarian cheese, which is made without all those tasty stomach extracts...
*wonders if fake cheese would not give bad dreams*
mmmmm stomach extracts!
ick!
Fake cheese sounds like devil food. I shan't be tempted.
LOL FMitch!
fake cheese does sound *very* wrong
I could make you cheeseless perogies, but then the sour cream would be an issue. Is there fake sour cream? It's starting to sound a lot more like mashed potatoes, :D
soya cream?
Love cheese but have found out over the last couple of years that it really doesnt agree with me and I have so many strange greams now if I eat cheese.
greams sound very strange!
*dreams even
Oh no. If cheese gives me strange dreams, I will sleep poorly for the rest of my life. I'm a cheese-aholic. I have a problem.
omg. Just have to say. I tasted the most amazing blue cheese at the weekend. I don't even like blue cheese and this was *incredible*. Kentish Blue, apparently
Blue cheese and I come and go. Was it really smooth and strong?
How bizarre, FMitch...maybe try the vegan cheese?!
lol Uni I think it one of those things that occurs as you get older.
Stay away from the vegan cheese! Put down the fake cheese and no-one will get hurt... *aiming squirt gun*
it was - strong flavoured, yes, but without that overpowering flavour that blue cheese can get. It was smooth and beautiful and tasted like cream
I refuse to age if I might have to give up cheese. Forever young, that's me.
I have to find somewhere to buy it
ditto Uni!
I agree!
*whines* but I miss cheese...
No way NB, I will put up with the wierd dreams and enjoy the odd toasted cheese sarnie or orther lovely dishes.
Ata - sounds fabulous. I love the smoothness of blue cheese, but don't like the super sharp (mould?) taste of some I have tried.
yes, ditto! this was just perfect
LOL FMitch! some things are just worth it, huh :D
*blech* vegan cheese *runs away from lurking*
NB, come to the dark side...we have real cheese!
I could quite happily be vegan, if I could eat cheese!
in my younger years I had to avoid blue cheese - it was a migraine trigger, however, outgrew that and am now able to enjoy them all
Uni - have to ask hows yr Mum wish she would write to me, I miss her very much.
I don't think my body allows me to give up cows and chickens and pigs and fishes. It's my constitution. :)
yes, we all miss your mom. tell her to email, if nothing else!
Greetings flosey.
I think Lori has taken a bit of vacay from the world, but she seems in good shape! I'll prod her with a sharp stick next time we're in the same house. It's been ages!
you do, Uni, but for me it's not worth knowing that a cow has to suffer being pumped full of hormones and kept locked up in the dark for its whole life. Yummy but cruel. There, lecture over!
Next time you speak to her send her my love.
I have a lot of family in farm country. My eatings aren't all locked up or hormone filled. But lots are. I've definitely eaten creatures I had looked in the eye before.
What about free range cows?
it's funny, NB, I had a weird veggie experience so at odds to most people. I was vegetarian for many many years as a kid, until I went to uni. Then I studied marine biology, and had to chop up fish, and couldn't in all conscience be veggie while chopping up fish. So I stopped officially being veggie, but I hardly ever eat meat
it doesn't happen in organic farming NB
As much fun as this is, I have to be off. Thanks for the chat and great catching up.
true in the free range and organic stakes, but at the end of the day, Leo and I are dirt poor ;) plus, I have other problems with it, but those are the biggies.
Oy vey, this makes me hungry. And i'm on my last bit of cheese!
Take care, Mama! I'll work on my Mum and see where we get. <3!
and anyway couscous is the best food ever
How funny, Ata! So it was a matter of principle ;)
(((Uni)))
strangely, yes! in a strange and inverted manner! but still, I hardly ever eat meat other than fish
I've never had couscous. The beau and I only just bought some, might be having it for supper, finally.
oooo it's yummy! but make it properly. don't just add water like packets say
Hmm. What is doing it properly, then? I hadn't looked into it yet.
will find you a link
Eveyone must have fireworks, no one is looking for clues.
This is my first play at babble in months, I only have 19 words and got sucked into chat, as usual.
I'm still looking into this vegan cheese. Just terrifying, what some people will think of making.
really!
Agreed! I am off to buy a tv show I love. Take care, Babbletopia!
although, there is possibly nothing more foul/just plain bizarre than the idea of cow's milk!
oh yes, there is. goats milk!
and sheep#s milk!
oh no, wait. yak butter is the worst
LOL. Never tried the latter three - any difference in taste?
sheep's milk is odd. I think. It tastes like it comes out of a sheep.
(well duh lol)
yak butter? Liz and I will tell you when we get back from Nepal!
human milk there is a restaurant in NYC that has dishes with human milk cheese
OMG!!!
See?! this confuses me - people are perfectly happy to usurp the breast milk equivalent from a different species...but when it comes from their own, THAT'S disgusting?!
you can pretty much find anything in NYC
I know ... odd, isn't it? I'd actually happily eat something made from any milk. But the initial idea is odd
seems a little personal to eat someone elses breast milk and a little bizarre to eat your own
but really, it's more sustainable and less stressful to aniamls to create a human breast milk insutry
NB - question - would vegans eat human breast milk products willing provided?
LOL Ata - question I thought I'd never be asked ;)
lol I bet :P
but I guess it depends on the reason why they turned vegan - if it's an animal welfare issue or an environmental issue, they may be willing. Personally I'd skip it - got over that stage in my life about eighteen years ago - but each to their own ;)
interesting question though. never considered it before!
I have to ask that on my facebook
me either, but then I wouldn't have dreamed of a human breast milk restaurant! Nuts.
the c word!
nuts, but really? I wonder what it tastes like compared to cows milk
it would depend on the vegan
what????
it is thinner and sweeter ata
omg
jay are you asking about the hogcall?
cowy
after a fashion!
so it's naturally skimmed :)
it is not as fatty as cow milk
if the situation demanded it, would you draw the line at eating actual human?
*glee* put a question on facebook. Will report back tomorrow
it would depend on the situation for NB
if it was me or them, I'd eat them!
it would not be something that I would put high on my list of things to do
unless it was Nathan Fillion. LOL
LOL Ata. Love it - not even a moment's hesitation! :')
being a biologist does give one a somewhat different viewpoint, I think
in that I at least feel very part of the global ecosystem. I eat things, things would eat me
Hopefully I'd escape getting eaten, since we vegans tend to be a tough and skinny lot. The same principle also applies to zombie invasion...I think they'd go for the meat-eaters first ;)
LOL :)
also, just googled nathan fillion. I see your point ;)
*grins* ohhhh yes!
try and get hold of Firefly. Youd enjoy
Firefly? Is it a film? haven't heard of it :)
it's a TV series, from a few years ago in the US. Its just 1 series. Kind of sci-fi crossed with westerns. With Nathan and Adam Baldwin. It's really really fun
just eaten the cat and now ready for some clues please, ac6/30
just eaten the cat?! I think even the non-vegans will be horrified by that!
wasn't the cat hairy?
Sci-fi westerns...sounds interesting :D
It's really worth watching if you can find it, I promise!
ac + a vowel + a large settlement, a c***
yes, got a furball in my throat but never mind
lol. already 12 comments about breast milk.
Well I'll look it up, then, Ata ;) especially since we're at a loss for things to watch at the moment. There's a lot of Family Guy in this flat - the way they stereotype gay men is actually pretty hilarious
abotu 1/2 and 1/2 in opnion
LOL! Saying?
Firefly is very tongue-in-cheek about a lot of stuff. I really do think you'd like it. Never found anyone who doesn't. And Nathan ... enough said!
anything from "It's funny, but when we have a newborn that doesn't feed well it seems logical to me to put it to the breast of a woman who has a good supply, both to get it some food, and encourage it to suck. Most midwives think this is completely disgusting!" to "I'm vegan - eugh! No way would I have that."
was the clue any good, Mummy? (feels very strange saying that ;))
I love my FB friends. I have everything from militant vegan protesters to capitalist party people. It's interesting
sounds like a pretty mixed bag, then. I dunno, I guess I'd try it, but...hmmm.
interesting, isn't it? I really don't know ... I'd love to think I was ok with it. But if someone put a bowl in front of me ... it would be interesting
more likely a glass
That yo5 an enable word...really?!
thank you Nancy boy, got it now
no problem :)
now need fo4/7 please
no, fo4/8 I mean
multiple fo** groups are used by ad agencies to test consumer applea

lol you'll do fine, the seasoned veteran you are
*sprinkling salt and pepper over self*
thanks for the vote of confidence... LOL
lol
hm.... some of these tiles are hiding from me!
I know, it's very stubborn about giving up words
how far are you luv?
I'm done, just haning around in case anyone needs clues
YAY luv! *celebration mode*
flipping between this and a survey for e-rewards
almost to halfway, then will go eat lunch and get ready for my afternoon class
nice way to ease into your afternoon
yes, I didn't often have the time for it, but today I need the mental break
I earned $50 towards my son's college so far by doing these sureveys
surveys
good for you! that's almost half a textbook... *sigh* books are SO expensive. You know you can order online sometimes to find cheaper copies than in the bookstore?
our son was very good this last quarter to look for bargains online. saved us a couple hundred $$
yes, I used half.com a lot when my older son was attending community college
looking for hte A on the bottom row and the O just above it for NBT...
ac 6/30 an eye test is for visual ac****
thanks. got it right away
down to 20....
ot 4/5 o + small bug
moving right along!
thanks again. NBT!!
and that is my goal for the day, will be on again later (I hope) to finish. Feeling highly unmotivated today... but must read a bit.
thanks for the help, so great to see you for a change!
yw and have a good day
hello friends. ooh, this grid is a beast
hi Trifioso
yes small but mean
howdy
it's a good afternoon here - cleaned out my little potting shed, and no nest of snakes this year!!! WIN
yeah, no snakes!
amen
bottom row grey!
i didn't think it was so bad. you just have to add an ee ie or y to every normal word :)
I guess I was just hoping for a more engrossing grid. I am SO LONELY with the kids away, and it's only tuesday!
and don't forget to use the C a lot!
yeah, i don't like being done before lunch
are both of the y words 4s please?

tc joanne
hellooooo babbler - just checking in while waiting for my daughter to call to be picked up - last day of drivers ed - god help me
does she get to borrow your car,or do you just buy her one? lol
ha when does she take her drivers test?
i told my son,they day he can pay a years insurance,i will buy the car
lol crossy - she cant drive mine - its a standard - ah shucks! guess she will have to save for her own.
havent scheduled that yet - we still have 10 hours of parent driving left
our state requires 40 hours (logged) of parent driving with 10 of those being at night
if my husband has his say - she will have double that before she takes her test
that's good. when i got my license it was 6 hours required in class driving - that was it.
that didn't bode well for cars driving in front of me since then
we do 10 in class and 40 parent - tonight is the last class
just take her some some little back road town(pop 13) with 1 main road and one cross street and 3 houses
that sounds like my neighborhood
haha drive down the driveway and back
we need to do some serious parking practice - may have to put protection around our truck (only automatic we have)
i'm caving to the list
lol where the big thing of the day is watching the one traffic light go from red to blinking yellow at dusk lol
scary leslie as our driveway is 350 feet long and 10% grade hill
what traffic light
we do not have one - I repeat not one traffic light in town
good thing she is not using the standard then or she would drift back into the mud room lol
to the pb with momnh
is the coffee fresh - forget that - its after 6 - is the wine chilled
i believe that it is
ive decanted some bacon vodka,it is airing as we speak,so no open flames please
perfect
bacon vodka? Now I do love bacon but bacon vodka?
as a matter of fact do not even rub yer legs together lol
I quit smoking on Thursday so promise to stay away until then
rofl
it is nice mom,it is the gentle essence of bacon only,very mild
some countries make it commercially
do you throw bacon parties?
but i must make my own;/
i have only heard of the phenomenon
love that description - the gentle essense of bacon
lol
I will have to check our liquor store to see if they carry such a flavor
there is vanillia bacon,orange,pmmegranite,so why not bacon?
there is peppermint vodka also
lime vodka...
ok list helps a lot. all fireworksy now
I usually go for the fruitier flavors - black cherry or raspberry three fingers vodka to float on whatever concoction I make
did you finish leslie
yup
yaa for leslie!
WOOOOHOOOO Leslie
Crossy, you have been on since I got on early this morning - are you close yet or done like me and enjoying the chat
i have been on and off all day,just never logged off
i am willing to give clues for a few, even to lurkers :)
I get to work early so get on there and work the grid for awhile - then check in from time to time to finish. This one was way too small - I finished way too early.
I got clues in me too
until the phone rings - then Moms taxi service leaves the house
got to get supper started - hence - the needs help part
Looking for the ac.
Eye doctor checks your eyes for visual ac****
Ah, my visual sharpness was right on mom. Thank you.
HI stidgmere and yw
Hi. Mom. Now onto the first two cos.
I should get supper going - have fun all - they are similar stidgmere
Is it a hard grid - being 41 and all...?
Thanks mom. I'm going to cook fish tonight for dinner. It is too early here to get started.
both are very vowel-y, gmere
it's a bit tricky, gadget
c + double vowel + double vowel, then change last letter for the next
ty Leslie Ann. Good co words but not.
words in my vocabulary. Finish a sentence!!!!
meh, that's why we've got this handy scrolling chog
Friedworks thanks to young Stidgrandson. #1 he says. True, true.
hooray!
Time to play duets. That was the deal. I finish the grid and we pick up some difficult Moussorgsky standard piece.
this does not look like a friendly grid...
not very friendly, but you're bound to learn some words you didn't ever know existed... at least that's my experience with this grid! (and hi TO)
yeah, fireworks!
hi all
yay brooke!
just need one more word
hi nrk!
O5 that is not op 5/14 related to eyes
Clue for to5/18?
take the one that's related to the eyes, and change the 2nd letter
to 5/18 = to + early to be and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and **s*
thanks! fireworks!
yay nrk! how goes the election?
dunno ... heading out now to see
to5/18 - think of the singer david bo*** (different colored eyes) but change the first letter
yeah nrkii!
results will be in shortly after 9PM
gonna go buy lottery tickets, then get dinner, then check in on the election
fingers crossed
thanks!
Tx, Tx, tx,
night all!
i'm heading out too. good night everyone!

* holding out for same clue *
visual ac*****, how well you see
night scrabs
danke ;)
brb, i think the neighbor is trying to burn down more trees.
again????
thanks lbd....oh I missed a fish fish fish.
I think you or hubby needs to go confiscate the propane torch!
my dad did that accidently once.
what, burn down the tree "accidentally"?
note I say one time, not multiple tree burning episodes. Indeed Pinik he did.
that'd be an oops!! LOL
yes, My Mom still sends the fire dept a rather big check ech year... he was trying to burn off poison ivy, the dead part of the tree caught fire. and we all know one should not burn Poison ivy off a tree anyway.
lol my da once blew the eavestrough off the whole side of the house with a 50 cal black powder rifle..now thats an oops
ROFL
yikes, crossy!
no rifles, apparently my Dad has a gun, but I have never seen it, it is an aquirement late late in life.
OK...since we're throwing out random "my dad ... ", I'll add mine...My dad derailed a train and has the letter of reprimand still framing and hanging at his house!
Amazing!
ok,your da wins..though i once burned up part of a campground with a single match and a quart of naptha fuel...
er, framed
i set a door on fire.
gads, not only are our dads "special", I can see a number of us didn't fall far from the tree! :)
remember,never use naptha as fire starter!! lol
i thnk my patients gave me the stomach bug. it is awful.
I burned water...yes, it's possible!
my da once blew up the boiler in his boyhood home with a pellet gun
to5/18 plz/thx (unless a blatent fish)
but the train wins,defiatly
definatly
* giggle *
waits for Pinis clue, as I think I need it.
gads, that looks bad without an apostrophe! ROFL
crossy is just lingering round,minding his own biz....not trolling....
* snicker *
crossy want to give clue???
t + what you way when you get a boo boo
lol,im waiting for same clue lol
uhm the train derailment definitely wins.
hey, one of the astronauts that landed today is a local here (my dau went to the same HS)
thx lbd! :)
ahh hfireworks.
oy vey...thx lbd!
wtg red!
Pinik, where did they and? Andrews? Or KSC?
Jim Dutton is from Oregon! :)
wooooo hoooooo red! bummer about the stomach bug. hope it's just a short discomfort
errr land?
Not sure...made a run over the midwest at some point tho (from what the news said)
Kennedy Space Center
okay, neighbor didn't set any trees on fire tonight, but he did get a fence post. glad hubs was out there with the hose!
Hubby learned quick, eh, lbd?
yup, he's aware of neighbor's penchant for not paying attention to what he's doing
fyrwrx ;)
whooooo hoooooo PINI!!
does he make his presence known? or is he more nonchalant about it?
wouldn't matter, neighbor can be obtuse especially when he's in his cups
* snicker *
he reminds me of archie bunker.
if married, does his wife remind you of Edith?
kinda, she's a sweet lady, smart, but puts up with his sh**
yep, that'd be "Edith"! :)
hi all...now what do we do to pass the time till the flip?
i don't think she's ever said a bad word about anyone or anything. just a really nice lady, who deserves better than him.
we've been comparing "dad" notes :)
we gossip, Barb
ah...
i don't have any dad stories. my dad's really mellow.
well, shoot...then the train is still the one to top, eh?
yup, that just cracks me up too!
ROFL
my dad is gone now and I loved him dearly
sorry to hear, barb...glad you had a great relationship with him!
ooo i could tell you about him being mistaken for a bear in a camp ground (snicker)
* listening *
my mom was the risk taker, dad tells a story about her passing a semitruck going full boar down a twl lane highway.
he snored like crazy...always thought the house would come down around us...well they were camping one year
oh, do tell, bard
gads, we used to refer to mine as "my mother, the nun" (mind you, she had 6 children)
and dad in his usually form snored so loudly that the kids in the next campsite thought they were being attacked by a bear.
ROFL
rofl!
they ran into their own parents tent screaming about a bear. The next morning the youngest one said in a rather loud voice...is that the man who we thought was the bear last night....my mom said the shock on my dad's face was priceless
out of the mouths of babes
definitely!
yup for sure...the parents packed up their kids and left that day drove them right out of the campsite...I so wish I had of been there
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
i'd have loved to have had a camera to capture your dad's expression!
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
hi Min!
* giggle *
hi min ;)
oooooh, VooDoo Donuts is coming to town!!! Yeeeehaaaaaw!!!
(they're reportedly one of the best in the PNW)
When my mom and he were first married my dad was a scout leader and took many a toop out camping and he was trying to show the "boys" How NOT to cut fire wood...put the axe right through his boot and into his big toe...my mom got a call from the hospital
voodoo donuts?
(sorry, watching news)
Yes I congrats to all the finishes
i hope the scouts learned a good lesson and i bet they learned a few choice words too!
yes I bet they did
Hi all -- pay no attention -- I just want to check my flickr address

I need the c4 I don't have - I have the bad word, and the sidewalk c4 in the urban c4
the screen has a hole in it, but the storm glass is down, and the main window pane is down and locked. they are sneaky!

Hi jmc and Pini
i would have never come up with that
hi jmc and bugs ;)
so pini the weirdest thing happened today
hi bugs
I thot that was a name not a word
i got a call from the police
what's that, jmc?
uh oh
and it appears that they have recovered my laptop that was stolen in Nov
thought so, too, bugs...stole the clue from earlier ;)
YEAH!!!!
intact?
great news!!
poor burglar didn't get any cash from me and my laptop was so crummy he couldn't sell it LOL
ROFL
serves him right!
so i will get photos and such back thank god
so where did it turn up?
wooo hoooo!
i am so excited
wonderful, jmc!
Hello to all who entered while I was playing wordtwist
Hi MIn and lbd
Bugsaw I LOVE your icon!That is a great one to keep
they executed a warrant in Baltimore on a stolen car and found my business card in the car
Nice!
so the poor burglar got connected to me because he dropped my business card when he was rifling my purse with no cash
not very bright burglar to keep any personal information
I am impressed jmc. Whenever I have lost anything, the police have never been able to help
actually they got me my wallet back the same morning
and i got a call for my purse from someone else the same day
maybe he thought he'd call you to be his lawyer? lol
so all i lost was my computer and it's bag
lol that's a thought lbd but they called the Center instead of my cell which is on my law office cards
Is everyone done with the grid and just chatting now? If so, I'd like to ask for some help on a little project I'm working on...if anyone's interested
i am working on the grid but not very hard
what do you need?
I'm writing a short little poem to go with the baby gift I'm giving. It's to give instructions on the gift. ;)
what is the gift
A "Magic Shrinking Bear"
????
Let's see...explain this one, eh?
Makes perfect sense to me ..
OK...basically, it's a stuffed teddy bear and that, once the baby is here, you take a picture of baby and bear once each week for the first year and then once a month thereafter...
...you'll see the bear magically shrink!
how cute, what a great idea!
very cute
(then once a year on their birthday after about age 2)
picture me here for just a short time, bigger than this tiny litte rhyme
hmmm brb
;)
drop the word little or it doesn't scan
If we're friends on FB, you can see my gson's bear!
Hi torgone! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
What I have so far (but definitely changeable): Simply take a picture of baby and me, just once a week and soon you will see.
i'm shrinking just a bit, just by a hair.
A week here and a week there and pretty soon a shrinking bear
oh, you guys are good!
I'll shrink a bit, just a hair and pretty soon a shrinking bear
that is lbd and me together
i'll shrink a bit here, i'll shrink a bit there,
amd in no time you will see a magically shrinking bear.
Heyas kids
"ptui" not found?
collaborative poetry! lol
hi torg!
gotta luv it!
and soon you will see a shrinking bear
yes, i like that ending better.
How about this: Simply take a picture of baby and me, just once a week and soon you will see. One week here, another one there I’ll shrink a bit here, I’ll shrink a bit there. I’ll keep on shrinking until baby is grown, A magic shrinking bear he can call his own!
wonderful Pini!
i hope the mommy does take the pics. it will be a wonderful memory of how fast the baby grows as well as a marker in time for her
Simply take a snap of baby and me, just once a week and soon you will see. One week here, another one there and soon you will see a shrinking bear. I’ll keep on shrinking until baby is grown, A magic shrinking bear he can call his own!
I love looking Camo Cole's pics (lbd, are you on FB?)
Simply take a snap of baby and me, just once a week and soon you will see. One week here, another one there and then you will see a shrinking bear. I’ll keep on shrinking until baby is grown, A magic shrinking bear he can call his own!
better no repeat of soon
good thinking!
last line still needs work
too many syllables
a magic bear he can call his own
what about: a magical friend he can call his own
i still don't get the ac clue
that's it pini!
ac6 means sharpness, as in mental or visual ac****
nm i just got the ac
i kept trying to make acumen fit :-)
hmmm, no M
OK...I'm going to go finish it up and get it done. I'll try and keep a pic so you can see the finished product! :)

Please post what it is in your profile too, ok?

Sorry to be slow replying -- I was looking for the next theme too while there's time.
Good evening! I can't wait for the flip!

OK, I'm back again. I've written to Lickety to ask if he has any idea why we have to close and reopen instead of refreshing when we change icons. And a few other things.
Mine still won't change on my end :(
hopefully, y'all see a goose tho :)
Maybe it will after the flip, pini.
I see a goose.
maybe ;)
I'll hold out until then...
I hope you see mine -- and the writeup.
I do see the goose...let me go read the write up...
wow...an interesting read! learning quite a bit about the bird! :)
I see Canadian Geese everyday here...
Canada Geese are a pest here.
sometimes here, too...but they pretty much stay in the local parks
(thankfully)
they're all over the golf course here and so is their poop, I here -- lots of it.
that's why I avoid some parts of the park...
