Hi, not really here, just glancing at my sites as I get Walter ready for school. But here, Jilli, a pronunciation page with people getting it wrong and two Icelanders saying it right: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/? p=2257

Yikes, dart!
isn't it a little early for clues?
oh, thanks, ruru!
NO, nan
lol jill
spying on what ruru??
co 6 x 6
no 7
I had to open your bio, Jilli. It looks like a giant hand in the thumbnail/icon here!
why -- are we clueing right off the bat now?
It was rather disconcerting...
es9 ... spying
I know, JC -- wanted everyone to see how tiny a teiid is
i think a lot of people decided we dont have to do that ie wait until 2am to do so
Thank you, ruru! *MWAH!*
Ruru should enjoy the teiid writeup ;)
...because I feel like cluing?...
we never waited 2 hours, mlf -- just one
i did jilli...one of my pet words in crappy puzzles
guess I will start turning the chat off for the first hour
2am cyber not two hrs
no, for another reason, ruru
depends on the night... so I never understand the need for complaining
cluing a 9 will never hurt you nan..
okay i have 155 left i am out poof
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is in the grid
lickety's list has one extra word
does anyone know what it is?
t
I don't... just happen to notice difference in word count
just if I prefer to find it on my own, ruru
that's often why Lickety doesn't announce
aww makes sense jili
ag 9/66 is in my list???
the great part nan is you can just turn off the chat.. we are really blessed with lots of options
and that's what I plan on doing from now on
you can also put your hands over your ears and go:
LALALALALALALALALALALAL
diz, I'll bet that is the extra word
fireworks!
right I'm off to work, see you all later, have a good day/evening/night
whoa.. mpd..excellent
I think so dee
wtg mpd!
YAY mpd -- strong and silent!!!
wow mpd, good for you
bye katie!
agonistes... grid doesn't take that one....
ag9/66 is the extra word -- there
cool, ty diz
thanks jilli
there's only one 9 and we've got it -- es9
good catch jilli
smart lady, jilli
It was right there in Lickety's list
phant sigloi
is sigloi sigmund frueds sister?
Oh, one of my favourite things is in this grid!
Ok, I've found five words that I thought would belong to the southeast i, but in fact belong to the other i. Am I correct to assume that at least one of the southeast i's is a Babblet?
lalalalalallalal...
nice picture JC
yeesh, there's a word very close to my phantom that is a valid word in the grid. i seem to do that every gtime
Thank you, flosey.
Douglas et4/5 is from that lower e
and the es9 also
ruru, are you singing for nan?
not really
I have the glorious ep9 from that lower e, flosey, looking for one of the southeast i's
Why then?
little bits of land in the water, douglas
treat the chat like a commercial and turn it off instead of complaining.. I understand it when people want to find things. I was just explaining something to mlf
but only the plural of that word josh
totally agree ru... exactly my point
y i haven't the other one just yet
I was going Lalalal because I knew JC's favorite word and didn't want to encourage him any further
HAHAHA! Somehow I thought so, ruru. ;)
But isn't that a word from the other i, josh?
There are even more of it in the grid - plural. :P
not if it's plural - is6
and it plurals too ...jc.. and just for you
Oh! And there it is -- thx ruru!
Never mind, josh...those Langerhans thingies
I know what you mean jilli seen one pe5 you have seen them all
Thanks josh
*giggle*
agree too ruru...funny to me almost everything in chat is a clue...when you call xy 6 or 7...when you say the volcano....when you actually clue something out......don't like it..ignore it..otherwise nobody can say anything related to grid
Hmmm. Not so! ;)
LOL, ruru! Is that so????? I wonder.
personally for me the chat is hidden until i get nbt, and after that clues of any sort don't bother me, unless they are way too obvious right there at the beginning
there are a lot of players who are offended by calling out large words to everyone.. I don't get it..
this is a cooperative game
Hear hear
Why be offended? If you don't want to see it, don't look at the 'chog'. :P
nods head
think it is most fun when help doesnt come right away
that is the most fun part of the game... otherwise why have a chat at all
what do you really expect the chat to be like when the grid is first released
sure for you dart.. you are a babble savant
For you perhaps, dart - you're one of those who finishes a grid in under half an hour. :P
JC, I hadn't seen your icon pic before -- it was still Albie the pup when you arrived. I have to close and come back to get the list and that's when your new icon showed up
Oh, Jilli? That's weird.
looks like a boyfriend to me jilli .. unless JC calls him a pup...;)
It's a new glitch for some of us -- refreshing doesn't work
i made a carrot cake this evening- putting some in the pb
Albie is a dog now - a year. Still very small though.
Erm, no ruru - he is definitely not a 'dog'. ;)
ohhhh with cream cheese frosting please
ty sammysmom. we just ran out of that tonight :D
oh, my favourite cake s'mom
See JC's writeup, ruru!
pup isn't necessarily a dog jc..
wink wink
yup- all from scratch- i feel sooooooo angelic
yum
<-- polishes s'mom's halo
Well he is 16 years younger, ruru - so he could be called that. But I don't call him that. :P
thanks jil
16!!!!!!!!!! whoa
good night everyone :)
other i from the lower right corner is is7, new word to me
at last -- got that bottom corner I
night nan...sorry to have upset you
night nan
Erm, ruru - I said he's 16 years younger (than me), not that he IS 16. :P He's 34 - and I'm an old knacker.
whew
oh, I just got the plain old is6/18
thought you would have to say how old are you to him and he would hold up his hands and say "this many!"
*giggle*
In that case I wouldn't be going there, ruru!
LOLOLOL
just teasing JC...
is7 from the corner is + vowel + washer setting
You don't say? ;)
thx josh
thanks josh, never would have found that word
well.. I have stirred up enough trouble tonight.. bye for now kiddies....
hmmm, guess hubby would have
Awww. Leaving so soon, ruru? :/
nite ru
nite ruru
goodnight ru,
*Gives ruru a big, sloppy goodnight kiss!*

don't forget the 8 as well dart
Bye ruru
yep thx

wtg josh, jilli, & dart! I wish I knew how you all do it so damn fast!'
You're finished too, Jilli?
I 've been saving myself for the weekends mostly, Sir JC...
I didn't finish, kim!!! Not even close to halfway!
hine
I think you were thinking of dee, kim!
I see, Sir PAV3...
oh, I thought you were done jilli
When you does the puzzle every day, kim, your mental Babblet dictionary grows
...and see you've brought the hubby...does he know about you and ruru?
good night, everyone :)
oh, yep, probably!
HAHAHA!
He babbles now...
nite nan
g'night nan
good night, everyone :)
Oh. Who were you talking to, PAV? :P
just kidding my dear Sir!...I caught he tail end of the convers a bit ago..no pun intended...
Ah. So that was to me, then. ;)
i can give out clues for a few minutes if anyone likes. i'm in a celebratory mood tonight
Have you figured out the riddle?
<--- covers eyes at innuendo
What are you celebrating, Joshua? Finishing the grid?
riddle?
sorry for the repeat -- couldn't get anything to enter in the chat
any special celebatory reason, josh?
I've chosen to pretend I didn't see it, Jilli. ;) For once!
Goodness - what is wrong with me? :/
my aplogies, Dame Jilli....
celebrating finishing my master's thesis. 3 years work, all done
Oh hahah, JC!
aens
Oh CONGRATULATIONS, josh!
party at my place a week from friday
yay JOsh! very well done indeed!
not only can i not spell. i can t even do it in the right box.. must be bedtime
Marvellous, Josh - that is something certainly worth celebrating! Quite an accomplishment. :)
Can't even do it in the right box? No. I am NOT touching that one. :P (Sits on hands.)
i have a general feeling of satisfaction. the dread of the job market will hit me later, but for now i will celebrate
And the subject of your thesis is.....?
i was writing on science fiction film
nbt (a bit slow tonight!)
...sends bottle of Gruet Demi-Sec Josh's way...
I have all blank tiles! :P
Good for you! I will now say the words every thesis writer longs to hear..."Tell us about your research, Josh"
ty pav, that won't last long
douglas, i'd really rather not. i think i'm allergic to it at this point
I'd better get started then Miss Jilli...
Allergic to research? Yes, after that much of anything you would tend to develop an allergy.
Understood.
hey jc, and i'm allergic to hay
you start out with a topic you're in love with, and systematically kill it to death as you research and write about it
Hi sandy!
hi jilli and everyone
Well look who it is - did you get the e-mail I sent you from your neck of the woods, the other day?
hi sandy
When we were about to leave for Sydney...
Actually, it was in reply to one you sent - the first I've had any from you in ages, Sandy!
not sure, but are you still in Perth JC (finally i've a new computor)
No, Sandy - check the date on that e-mail.
We left for Sydney the next morning - it was sent after the Perth venue. That's when I found your e-mail awaiting me. The forward you had sent to all the contacts in your address book...
I will check it, did you enjoy Perth -We could have met for cofee!
*pats self on back for finding ag7 and 8
Well I wouldn't really have had time - but you could have come to the venue. Shame you hadn't kept in touch. I didn't know what was going on...
What little I actually saw of it - as goes for most places.
that's about how I'm beginning to feel about this grid jilli
How are you - and how's Niki doing these days???
lol, flosey!
but the chog has been fun
Nikki, fainted on a very hot day when I was out and burnt herself badly on the path (hospital for 3 weeks) her shoulder is in and her burns are getting better, Most of all I am gettling less stressed everyday
and now I'm back here everything will improve vastly
Oh I'm sorry - how awful for her! :( Was it one shoulder or both she was having trouble with?
missing the bottom E for NBT
That's horrible, Sandy - burns are excruciating. :(
es9 is one of them, pav
Both but one was extra bad, anyway they are both not dislocating and life is getting better with the approach of winter
Miss Jilli...didn't realise you were a comedienne of the first order!
morning all...
hi rolin
hi rolin....es9 heh?
morning rolin and flo and pav and Jilli and josh
Good morning, rolin...it's a happy thing to contemplate that it's always morning somewhere
hiya sandy!
and an absolutely beautiful morning it is here..not a cloud in the sky...spring does seem to have arrived
is there an easier word for the bottom E?
sorry, pav, but it's the only one I have, clued succinctly by ruru some time ago
ok...a hunting we shall go...
If he could say it then, I certainly can now -- spying
sych a nice word
hi rolin
hey jilli...it seems if there is such a thing as an ostler...surely he must ostle...??
I tried that too, rolin ;)
does anyone have a clue for an7 please?
ok NBT...will hunt for the es9...can't be too far off...
pav, you missed the clue -- scroll back
at 1:47
no I just scrolled back to the beginning...if it were;nt so darn long I'd call a fish...
PAV3, it'll help if you spy out a subatomic particle in the grid first
I spy with my little eye
no I have the 9 now...subatomic particle doesnt ring a bell with me...but thanks...now 221 left
unless you were clueing the io4
ok..i better get ready for work..bye all..
bye rolin, have a good day
The io4 are suffixes to the subatomic particles I was thinking of
odea Douglas...i turned in my brain a few hours ago...needs rest...as do I...
phantom = gigolo
Off to dinner with everyone - have fun. I'll try to return and finish, later this evening. Good luck! :)
Off to dinner with everyone - have fun. I'll try to return and finish, later this evening. Good luck! :)

hello Sprite
hi flosey
Hi Sprite :)
hi jilli
phant pigeonholes
Hello everyone
hey lyn :)
Composer Gustav Holst is in the grid
Morning/evening all
hi FM!
I think I tried "holst" at one point
Good morning FM
Oh, here you are, gremlin! We were wondering!
Hi FM
evening all
evening to you girlie
Hi lynxxx
morewords.com also has the ag9 which is in Lickety's list
hi Girlie
Hi there lynxxx and spritey sprite and gremlinn and Doug and jilli and eveyone.
hello girlie
I recall a TV station using the opening bit from "Jupiter: The Bringer of Jollity" from "The Planets" by Holst, as the lead-in for the evening news
it's the previous word with an E inserted near the very end
make that the word before the previous
sprite, you found a great teiid picture!
you forgot Uncle Tom Cobbley
*grin*
hey mitch Sprite
I've used that, lynxxx -- nobody seemed to twig
Oh the Plantet Suite, haven't listened to that in years.
thanks jilli. We seem to go for the same kind of images, did you see? Ours are similar again.
hey sandy :)
Hi Sandy
hi lyn
Hello FMitch...Isao Tomita came out with an electronic version of it many years ago
hi lyn
Bet thre is a clip or two on youtube.
"eonian" was in a grid sometime ago...I'm patiently waiting for it to appear again so that I can pounce on it.
aeonian is nicer
The sun is shining and the sky is blue and there are so many aircraft trails in the sky. The silence was lovely whilst it lasted.
Indeed yes, but I haven't seen that one in a grid before
silence continues here still, FM, but we don't have sun.
I have, doug
Oh are Dutch airports still shut?
Europe airports are open yet?
sprite, I heard some flights from Europe came here today
ok, updated icon - and hope I don't dream of these little darlings
so have I, jilli
UK airports are open as of yesterday afternoon.
some flights come through, most not yet.
one of the first flights out yesterday was to Iceland which has a certain irony.
pretty one, flosey :)
lollllll
I guess, jilli!
amazing, I thought, about their almost all being girls
good writeup and icon, flosey
thanks sprite - but they do give me the willies
I think they are pretty in their own way, but I can fully understand your willies if you don't like snakes. Their tails are impressive.
the day someone suggests snakes, I will resort to flowers
how do you feel about geckos, flosey?
I've never seen one jilli
lol it is definitely an idea. But I won't do it now, flosey, will try and remember you really don't like seeing them.
you've seen pictures, surely?
yes, sprite -- all kinds of snakes!
yes, jilli, and the pics are not actual photos
oh dear... I think we have a worm theme coming up. The taeniae or something like that.
I remember back in the 60's when on hols in Spain a little gecko used to climb up the wall and catch flies. I was facinated by it.
I think they're cute, and these little teiids just have longer tails and different colours and habits ;)
I like them. Watching them I mean.
fascinating, FM
ok , have my 1000 points...I might return much later...
good job Pav!
goodnight Pav
hi/bye Pav
wtg pav -- that's an interesting goal to set 1
bfn pav
aha, exactly half way
also a good job, flosey
congrats, flosey!
NBT...100 words or 1000 points...or until eyes fall from sockets....
ok must be off for now, therapy to go to. Back later, have fun all.
bye Sprite
hope it goes well sprite, have a good day
bye sprite :)
Bye spritey!
and Bye from me too, have a big delivery of garden stuff coming today and need to get my act together.
sounds like fun FM, enjoy
Goodevening, y'all.
bye FM, have fun!
bye FM, and hi Christine!
hi Christine
hi Christine
good morning everybody! Goodie, a big grid!
hi ruby
hello ruby :)
hi Ruby
Hello ruby
hi floey and jilli and lynxxxx and douglas!
wow, just monkeyed ep6, 7, 7
it looks like today will be beautiful. Going to garden center after lunch for all the spring plantings: geraniums, imparients, verbena, cosmos, etc.
sounds like a fun day ruby
work, but the results should be worth it!
anis
are you looking over my shoulder Ruby?
sorry, not too well organized yet! Is there coffee in the PB?
extra bananas for those monkeys, flosey -- I haven't a clue
haha lynxx
anagram of flying rats Jilli
sorry jilli, didn't see your request, grateful to lyn, I wouldn't have known
hmmm, flying rats, bats.....
Flosey - there is a ep7/8 after those as well
taking a kitchen brek -- maybe I'll see more words afterwards
yes thanks lyn, got all 3 at same time
had the ep7 and 8 earlier
does anyone think 3.45 is too early for a wine?
definitely not sandy, go ahead, enjoy
wouldn't that be happy hour?
is that AM or PM?
certainly someplace!
LOL ....ok then if you think so flo (pm)
hello diann are you there????
it's 5.45 pm here and getting dark
definitely wine o'clock then for you lyn
it's well past bedtime here! brain is a bit frazzled
yes I was lurking...found a second breath...noisy neighbors! and now am > halfway....
whiiine - I don't have any!
164 left
I have 109 remaining, will aim for the 9, then off to bed
taking a break bbl
oh no, lynxx
what a horsey grid
horsey? haven't seen it yet but will re-focus the monkeys
are you there diann
hi sandra
good morning rubyfoo
anyone got a clue for the ho 7/32 -just can't find it
sorry sandy, don't have it
where youngsters travelling might stay
ho7 - god.
It sounds like we're mad at you, sandy!
ty sandra
just found it
thanks sandra, i have that one it's the other one
nice, dachef
2 7's and a six, tyty
it must be a plural of the ho6/21 which I also don't have
inexpensive place for kids to stay
like ho5 which isn't in here
just got it, ho7, most godly
lol there is another ho6/21 and ho7/32
aaah thats is thanks flo
yw sandy
2 6's and 2 7's
and I thank you for asking
this is a nice grid
good morning DIANN
Pops back in for 5 mins to find some more words. Hi ruby and all
half!
hello fm. Planting sunflowers this afternoon from all the sprouted seeds under the feeder.
Oh how great ruby, I have a small flourishing mix of seedlings from the bird feeder too :)
I'm putting them in the potager which is out of sight from the rest of the garden
Help! The grid won't accept the ag9,66 that's an extension of the 8 word. Morning, FMitch, ruby, sandra, flosey.
will also try to grow tomatoes again.....
Hello hydra!
back again, and figured out the flying rat, thanks :)
hydra, there is only 1 9 letter word, the ag9 is the extra word that Lickety has included
Grumbling and muttering about the absence of login and logon from the dictionary
Hi Hydra...that is not the 9
I even checked on Babble Dabble and the word was there.
TY Doug
enable v babble v lickety is always a conundrum.
aha -- over halfway
in other words are you saying there is no ag9?
what is the 9 then?
There is no ag9 -- the 9 is es9
thanks for that jilli-it saved me a lot of angst
Lickety's list has an ag9,66. Is it a mistake?
:)
That's a good 'a' word, sandy!
yes, hydra
Yes Hydra... Lickety uses a more recent version of Enable. Excess words happen quite often
Thanks jilli, and good morning!
*sigh* there goes the phone TTFN
hy hydra ;)
ok, 85 left for tomorrow, off to bed, goodnight all
nite flo
Well, I must start work now. 144 left. Will I ever find them all?
night flosey -- well done!
I was wrong, that wasn't half, it was 1/3! duh
how many words are there today please
248
248
why isn't shiso acceptable?
just under halfway but i have the 9
it's not a word I know
it's a leaf for seasoning
I mean shiso -- what is it?
evening :)
they accept some food words and not others and it seems like capricious choosing!
hi mrp
hi mrp! long time!
hi MRP!
long long time! Hi girls!
Pres!!! Hi
live and learn -- never heard of shiso
how's your leg, mrp?
it's delicious, especially in sushi. Sort of a cross between mint and basil
thought I would stop by and say hello and give this one a burl... am fluey and repairing well!
Japanese, I guess, ruby?
It is called Perilla in english (shiso)
they accept nori which is just as obscure!
but not ramen
repairing is good, flu not so good
never heard of perilla either, lol!
ty lynxx
it sounds like a cross between sushi and miso
maybe a portmanteau word!
still have a cast, mrp?
better get dressed; see you later!
What happened to your leg Pres?
bfn ruby
((jilli)
You are going to love MRPs story Sandy - right up your alley
Pres has been in the wars enough I think - what happened to her leg?
football season is driving me &$%#@#$ crazy already! so many phone calls! sorry....
Oh sandy, I was wrangling the chickens into the coop and fell off the frigging plank that leads down to the coop when one of the buggers flapped in my face!
broke my left leg and right ankle... joy!
Broken?
can't believe it!! You poor thing... you must have been in agony , I hope you weren't alone
I was in agony! couldn't move my legs at all... thought I had broken my pelvis... but Luke was with me and he dragged me down to the house so I could get reception on the phone
Better now , I hope? I am out of touch with all the news
much better thanks! ((hugs))
(bigger hugs back)
but! I managed to get my referee ticket for football during all this so now get paid to ref soccer games!... once I can run again LOL!
still got a cast, mrp?
mrp - you have a very presidential icon - the coolest one i've seen so far
no jilli, they couldn't cast me... the bones were damaged in a way that weight bearing wasn't a problem... so had to just keep off the legs. (wheelchair was ok to deal with)
thanks bojazz!
wow, that's unusual, isn't it, mrp?
Soho is in the grid "Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball. From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played 'em all"
yes, but I requested it jilli
I promised to stay a good girl... not walk etc... nothing was displaced
NB will be pleased
must have been very difficult
well, you all know what happened to lickety right?
so can you walk now, mrp?
no - ?
I can walk now... have a good limp... but can walk and get my own tea!
no! what?
the day before the accident, he was retrenched... so he has been looking after me full time. The hospital wouldn't have let me go without the assurance that I was under care
retrenched?
oh no, that is bad about Lickety, has he got another job yet?
Lickety hasn't been working for 5 weeks... he got a HUGE retrenchment package... so we are fine for about a year!! but he is bored and needs to get back to work
Wow. He was the last of the IT team wasn't he? did they close the Australia operation
oh, I see -- how awful!
yes lynxx, they took everything offshore to Malaysia
what's IT? Sorry to be so ignorant
and no possiblity of any consulting work with them in the future?
Information Technology... computer programmer
So it goes, in so many countries :(
no lynxx, he works for himself now at night... with a firm in the USA
Thanks. I thought he has something to do with computer programming!
It is difficult for him with the hours, but work will come along soon!
indeed jilli!
I am sure he would be snapped up for any job he applied for. We would all give him good references!
I sent him an email about Babble Expert the other day -- wonder if he saw it.
he is sooooo qualified, he has to wait for the right job to come up... otherwise he can't apply.
I will check with him jilli! He is out training soccer tonight
lynxx and sandy... have you seen this NRL problem?? They cheated!! There goes Rugby League in Australia
Pres we are very AFL here in WA
I've been playing since a little bit after the flip, and I just found sh4
Not me, I'll watch the news tonight
I am afl and soccer too
I don't know much about the nfl but I'm trying to learn, I like watching the sports and I hate going shopping (in fact I'm every man's dream)
which one, doug?
ditto sandy!
I didn't want to mention that I found one of the other sh4's a few moments before...the boat one
I have that, but not the first sh4/5 or a couple of others
sh4.5 butter
thx lynxxx
Nicky just said Melbourne is stripped of 2 premierships. is that NFL Pres and is that what you are talking about
s & boar too
I'll definitely be watching the news
yes sandy... fraud... very disappointing
very
how unaustralian!
very! so stupid...
forensic examination of the accounts will see people in jail!
Melb is not doing to well at moment - that prisoner killed which seem to be leading to all sorts of claims of police corruption (again)
yes lynxx... so much happening!
BBL husbands just in with a bag of goodies - cheap stuff
hello diann are you there
BBL dinner time!
well, 82 left for tomorrow -- goodnight Australia!
*poof*
Hoagie isn't in the grid, but if it were, would it be in the dictionary?
goodnight to you too, doug (I think it might be)
Hoagie is in morewords
Thanks jilli...
:) and goodnight -- *repoof*
bye jill
Babble is the only place where *repoof* is a word
Even though I'm a mere 3 words to halfway, I'm declaring moral defeat and bidding you all happy babbling. G'day, Aussie babblers!
bye doug
hmm the ge7/8 cake is here, 2 days in a row
i thought goslet was a word
hello
Hello
HOw are you?
Hi everyone! Looking forward to a wonderful day... and a good grid!
HI
Hi herin! How are you?
munching on dinner
Yum. I have a mud masque on, so I'll wait till I remove it before embarking on breakfast.
Clues are up
I made FridgeBare STew
thank you LIckety
Thanks lickety! Herin, what's fridgebare stew? Is that where you mix and match what's in your fridge?
Grids a piece of cake ..... an hour tops
Hi BR!
It is 2 words Fridge Bare
Thanks, lickety
Yep :D
Hello, Brookie
ty, lickety.
youth/adult ho6
good morning, yall
Hi DC!
I threw in potato, crappy peas and corn and carrots frozen that was not my thing, lentils, canned tomatoes, bacon,
are you up early or late, brookie?
Basically everything that was about to turn or I would toss got thrown in the pot.
Herin, that sounds really good. You're like an iron chef!
clean-out-the-fridge stew/soup/what-have-you is the best!
Well I used to be a chef
This is my new time to get up... around 5:45. My 2 year old doesn't wake up till about 6 a.m.... and seemingly he's sleeping late this morning!
But when you have no cash then it is time not to waste. This is the last batch of it. I had about 3 containers for 2 people. 3 if you add bread
So I'm assuming you enjoy cooking, herin?
ah, my 2 yr old nephew is up and about, sadly - i'm watching him today, and he was up when i got here at 5:30
Lovely Brookie. Not. Remember this when he is a teen and refuses to get his butt out of bed
coolio, herin
Hi Dc
evening, herin
Sleeping children make for happy mommies.
I wore this fantastic corset to class today and I got asked so many times how could I breath
As for food, I'm still working on all the food donations I kindly received @ xmas.
I
I'm sure you answered breathlessly, herin :-)
Brookie good pun but I used to skin I don't need to breath through the lungs
Explain, herin...
OK I will explain that. I am very tired and brain dead.
I used to Sing so I got taught to breath to the stomach
Gotcha.
A singing, frugal chef with fantastic style! That should be your tag line!
Sorry long day. Even my teacher was worried because I was drifting all day
Sorry to hear that.
Time to remove the mud masque and apply the deep exfoliator... brb...
Smoe days we drift, some days we steer
Yep and my teacher was nice enough to ask if it was ok. The more I tried to not be annoying the more I was. The more I tried not to be that annoying kid in the class the more it didn't happen
:)
True dc and sometimes we just veg in the back and yell directiosn
I'm back... exfoliators working their magic on my aging face...
On a completely different note, for the May 8th babblers reunion in Baltimore, I may need to bring my children. Is that OK?
(This question is directed at DC)
indeed, brookie, no problem at all. so that's +2, th4?
I want to go too :(
Yes it is. It might just be a +1 if my one son has a baseball game... his father can take him to that.
we'd be happy to have you, but we are on the other side of the planet
You'll be there in spirit, herin!
all good, brookie :)
I've traveled all over this world, And now to another I go. And I know that good quarters are waiting To welcome old Ro5 the Beau.
(in case you're into oldish folk music)
That's quite the clue, DC
oh, good morning, and so I wake up to Old Ro*** the Beau - I think I remember learning that from an old Burl Ives songbook! (going way way back into the oldish days, dc)
morning, jbv :)
hi jbv
O dear I found a factory sales outlet list site.
Hi JBv
hi herin
how you?
herin, did I see you say you "used to" sing ? did the singing stop?
Used to sing in school choir
The Pauline EP7
me, too, the voice has definitely changed, but that doesn't stop me - I sing along with opera in the car :) doesn't hurt anyone's ears....
host a soup and song, herin - potluck soup meal followed by hours of singing. it's great fun
DC and JB. I don't have many friends.
we have a community chorus in my town - always looking for members, I've promised myself I will join and activate the old vocal chords one of these days, this may be my year - planning my RETIREMENT !
(big news - haven't shared yet, but I will probably hand in my letter this week)
Do it JBV just do it
cool, jbv :)
yep, I don't need much of a push, I'm ready
but in the meantime, I still have to work, and it's time to get ready, see you later and good luck to all
have a good one, jbv
gork..... not in dictionary... hmmmm/
Have a great day. Hi red. BRB
no, but there are some words i did not expect in the dictionary, especially in the S
morning, red
hi dc.
what a bacon-y grid this am, lots of works for pork origions.
words, words.
hm. so there's a hint for my many missing Ps
ah, and HOs :)
indeed but not a great help I fearl
fear.
he5 ho, he5 ho, it's off to work we go
oh not for me thanks DC.
Good morning Seain & Red. Feeling better, Red?
nor for me :)
morning, scrabbs
unfortunately not really Scrabbs Headache fever, and the GE continues...
Yuck. Tylenol, Gatorade, rest.
yes, I think I signed up for overtime, but I am ging to call and tell them sorry in a few minutes.
i find acetominophen mostly useless in and of itself
I only take it when I have been puking--easier on the belly. Otherwise my analgesic of choice = naproxen.
it is a feve reducer.
i've never tried naproxen
i have found, for me, that acetominophen by itself does nothing
dc for your P's there is a pi 5 the many keyed musical instrument
indeed there is :)
na
not sure how that got there. :)
*phone call*
Hello
howdy
must call work BRB
Yes! a bigger grid. Afte the last two, I am happier with a larger one
yuck. the four-year-old wanted a straw to drink the light syrup from the peaches.
morning, bichon
of course, i don't like peaches, so what do i know
hi dc red Scrabs, et al. We have sick people here?
oh wow, sun! The fog here was much lighter than where i live.
red is not feeling well, bichon.
tsk, do yo need TLC from us Babblers?
Hope I didn't give anyone my cold when I was here yesterday?
baby eagles again today
hi, pinny

Hi DC
Hello all again

hya lyn
ouch...but could have been a lot worse!
there is no known cure for babble
Kebab - I'll be over at 8.30
I fear a job will finally cure me of my babble addiction, but seeing as no-one will hire me, I'm not especially worried
hi, sprite
hey seain :)
I thought the ai6.24 was the baby eagle but it is sh** lace tips - how could I forget!
since I have seen many a babbler with a job, I think you will be ok even then.
SPPPPPPPPPPPRITE

and an agitator!
lol the agitator
at almost 11, you'd think he'd be better about timing. sigh.
one gobsmacked teacher I bet
I think she learned at least one word that day :)
i think your mom would have been an ace babbler, jbv
I think so too
yes, Trif - we used to do the Jumble together (in the newspaper) when I was very young
I also have a story in my profile about the needlecase - another story for another day - bye bye, dear babblers and may you learn many new words each day!
morning all, Pooh's friend is in the grid :)

bye JBV
morning, peri
oh, women of babble nation, I need to ask a quick question - I got my hair colored yesterday - can I wash it today, or do I have to wait a couple of days?
would love a clue for the upper left O...for nbt
wait at least a day or two, Trif
nm i got it
HI Perri
gawk, leer, etc.
I always wash mine the next day
is it okay to get it wet at least, peri? and thanks....
I think so, Trif
and the oh4.5 similar to a US state
thanks ladies! that is what I LOVE about babble! every problem the world could come up with, the chog can solve.....<3
Tri -depends on whether it's permanent color or one that lasts for X amount of washes. I think it's fine either way but some folks don't want to wash right away
hist

he's here with a female, but mayhap about the beak
then it definitely is not the one from my yard. he couldn't get any female to look at him, poor geek
ugh. timer is going off, time for me to hustle off to work. new student proving to be a real handful. want combat pay....she refuses to even TRY, and it is really frustrating.

hello everybody
hi ruby - how are you
absolutely right, MOM
Hello, ruby.
Hi Ruby
I'm typing with dirty fingernails, because I'm just in from the garden wqhere are worked really hard, planted 12 tiny geraniums in the ground in one border, two celosia + several other plants (in a planter on the deck), including parsley, basil and chives mixed in with the flowers
I worked realy hard! can't type
wow -Im impressed - no better day than earth day for planting
the planter is all different shades of purple plus green
is that today? I'm happy!
wish I was out there instead of stuck at a desk in an office with windows that dont open
I bet it looks nice,RUBY
I'm putting impatiens in the window boxes because the geraniums last year didn't have enough sun to flower
it will, but not quite yet
still early but when it all fills in - it will be beautiful
the tulips are finishing up and I have to get some more plants to put in that little border along the stairs to the street
once the tulips are gone and the allyssum have finished, there will just be lavender and ivy. And the wisteria is just starting to flower! can't stop smiling!
but there is a huge hole in the big border on the other side where something has disappeared.
OK, I'll stop, not fair to blather on about the garden....
I certainly don't mind gardent talk ruby
thats Ok - can tell it is your pride and joy
thank you ladies; my husband can't stand it!
clue fot es9, anyone?

is there a way I can put a little photo album into my profile?

You're welcome.

Good morning,all.
morning, judi. hi, haz
ty for an7, haz
Nothing wrong with that, dc. Make him wash the car while he's at it. Child labor builds character.
when he's done with that, i think we'll brush his teeth before the next toy comes out.
go for it dc..it isn't bad
LOL judi. indeed it does
need a break... bbl
hasta, jmb
time to brush teeth, bbs
apparently it's Mr Potatohead time
we actually used the parts Mom had with real potatoes for many years.
got the plastic one when i was 6
Did you get Mrs. Potatohead, too? Did they get married and have lots of tater tots?
Mrs Potatohead came along later, and we did not have one that i recall
or did we. i really don't recall
I want the Darth Tater
I've seen Darth Tater :) he rocks
Taters of the Lost Ark. Two thumbs up.
tater tots are one of the happiest forms of over-processed potato products. Those and Pringles
BBQ pringles!
have you tried Horseradish Pringles?
no, but that sounds awesome
The pickle flavor is good too. i'm lukewarm on the jalapeño one, though
I love jalapeno chips (kettle style)
Why are we on taters anyway?
nephew playing with mr potatohead
with three mouths, three armes, two sets of eyes, and little bilateral symmetry
i'm gonna go do world of goo for a bit. bbl
We always talk about food here, sciencegeek. We have to keep up our energy to play Babble.
I know!
Since Crossy is not here, we are not talking about bacon (for a change!).
lol now i am starving!
is 7/32 please
is7/32 - use the first three letters as before, then what you do to wool to make it into thread.
ty haz
You're welcome.
*eating bacon and eggs*
too many c's!
I agree... have Dr. G remove some of them.
oh.. I killed the chat...

My head is so itchy :(
frogish sounds like a totally reasonable word to me..."he was a bit Frogish in appearance" as an example
yes agreed ru
ruru, you mean he looked a tad French?
are they any "ish" words?????
probably .. I haven't found any yet...
me either
One.

british spelling
ty
Or, what happens to me every time I have to look at a menu - thanks MM
ag4/8 clues
yw pinny
Thanks ruru
or when I pay taxes
got the ge8, ty haz
You're welcome, MM.
ag4/8 - look at the number count. To be ag4/8 is to be intensely interested in something.
I reckon 'login' should be allowed
*flop*
Hello, floppy Ata.
Hi Ata! The Tolkein bad guys are inthe grid
so they are :):)
Can I get a clue for the E in the top left corner for NBT?
ages and ages
I've found a new word for you, Haz
One who has high regard for themselves, eg6
Duh - how did I miss that fish??? Thanks guys
and that too
What would that be, Ata?
Lexadaisical: adj – Being lackadaisical with your lexicon. Examples of this would be your instead of you’re, its instead of it’s, or as Will Farrell said in one of his funny impersonations: “strategery.†You gotta except it, its so common for people to be lexadaisical, if not, than I’d say your a genius!
someone who spends a lot of time in front of mirrors
I'm squirming at the examples so I suppose it confirms that I'm not lexadaisical.
Absolutely. I like the word though. It says a lot
in one word
True!
why cant someone be henish?
cos only hens are henish
clue for es 9 please
You can be henlike.
me?
es9 - the sort of activity undertaken by spies.
No, not you especially. No such word as henish, but henlike is acceptable.
ty haz!!!! woot
or beacky
beaky!!
That keyboard still annoying you?
that's FM! I just can't type. I have no excuse LOL
Time to go for a walk. Be good!
unlikely!
what happened with your chat with D ata?
oh! lol. I got severely Told Off for not understanding the real and true benefits of a very expensive water softening system. I just rolled my eyes and ignored him. So, like usual!
si 6/24 please
hmmm have something similar going on over here
oh dear! not fun
ata you need a vacay

Hi all.......is there really an AG/9?
I was wondering if there is really an ai 6/24 myself

There's an es 9 and an ag 8 but no ag 9

Afternoon all
FM!

Hi Ata and ruru!!!
ty geek will keep looking
Hi Babblers!
what are you up to today FM?
hi aloy!
Hi Aloy! Been working, was planning or gardening ruru but that will have to wait to tomorrow.
rain, FM?
No rain for over 2 weeks now means a lot of watering going on.
our curly kale is ready for harvesting
and we are still havinging fairly hearvy frosts so just v glad havn't got a lot of plants on the go. My dining table is covered in seedlings and plants ready to put out once the weather settles down.
oh yum yum Aloy.
how do you like it prepared, FM?
clue for en6/7 please?
flash fried in butter with garlic
sounds delicious!!!
don't have it yet, sorry Flask
that is how I'm going to fix it FM!
ok Aloy...
en + small bit of land surrounded by water (and pl for the 7)
clue for gh 5
lol Aloy great minds and all that :)
gh 5 - Casper, the friendly gh5
ty, FM.. got 'em!
thanx FM...:-)
ty science
I was going the wrong way on the gh
Fireworks
Congrats sixty
yay for sixty! congrats!
well done sixty!!!
There are some wonderful words here today!!
i need the list! stuck at 79 remaining
Me too Science! 79 left
especially the e's much fun to find.
si6/24 = ancient coin
I know!
and the g's - who knew you could have go6 and 7!
just at them now!
si7/28 = sturdy twilled cotton fabric used for linings and pockets.
just found those, FM, sounds like something the knights drank from
Have fun every1 must go. See you all tomorrow. Bye.
It is an earthenware vessel of some sort I think Aloy.
bye, sixty
ep 6/27?
LOL it is funn saying bye to sixty as the TV is showing a newly made version of The Prisoner. Who remembrs it from the first time around?
add the venetian ***dola to the prefix for "on top"
I do
um, not me, FM..
I wasn't around the first time round, but was introduced to it about 10 years ago and LOVE it. The new version doesn't compare. I am the new Number 2!
thank you aloy
I do too vaguely but it is interesting to see how they have redone it this time around. LOL Pinny.
Agreed - I have to watch the new version just to see, but thus far it's bored me :(
yw, ruru.. two extensions on that one
Although I did enjoy seeing Rover attacking Number 6 in great detail
I think it was so ahead of its time when first released that they have a long way to go to make a mark today.
For sure
Oh a tropical word for today is the esp9 - what about the fact that the l;atest JAmes Bond Movie has been put on hold due to MGMs finiancial issues!
*topical not tropical *sigh*
lol, FM
I didn't get the si 6, the ancient coin, a hint perhaps
i'm biased, i'd watch ian mckellen reading the phone directory
.. but James did do a lot of that es9 in tropical settingsw!
settings even
they could change the title to .00007
lol me to Ata
your typos are contagious, FM.. all your fault, lol
ofr course!
Oh gee so not with the ge's! Just looked at the list
BRB phone
s + what eskimos live in minus a vowel for the s6
um, the pl version of the eskimo house
ty Aloy
yvw (-:
I have never heard of that coin
clue for gl 5
g + not found
Can anyone help with the 2 pes just before the last one?
go 6/7?
ty Aloy
pe6.21 is the pl of the word before it, Jayk
pe + opposite of out
gl5 g plus I can't find it
pe and mis spelling of frozen water for the 5 and pl for the 6
hi all, can anyone help with an7/28 please?
Thx FM!! Bingo!
Oh there was a callsic moment to day whe a babbler (can't remember who) typed the pe5/12 in the log. you could feel her blush across the Atlantic.
an + vowel + sh** part
FM I remember the original Prisoner well...and loved it.......this version is not a patch on it!
yw Jay
LOL.. missed it
How many more typos could I have made in my last posting!!!!???
sorry, jayk, don't get the sh** bit
go 6/7?
(-: am learning to read "typo" language quite well, FM
that was SO funny
oh, but now i do, thanks
little eye wear minus one cons
thank goodness for that!
science was that the go 6?
What a fun grid today. I've really enjoyed it.
think we're all feeling that way today, Merk!
eye balls bobbing up and down as I find the ro7, nice word
the pl of the pe 5/12 is wrong. It's pe + bird's **st
My excuse is that I use all my skill on the grid and have very left over for the log - and I am sticking to that story :)
go 6/7?
nm, got it
the first pe5.12 is a pl
go6/7 sound like small glasses?
not the second one though
I used to be able to open a new Lickety's List and if I had words entered on another one, the second one would add the words when it opened. I need two boxes like that when I travel. It does not do it anymore using IE. Has anyone else experienced this?
no the second one, the male organ
i mean the first pe6.21, gheesh, sorry
sound like small glasses worn by bikers.
Merk, I had to "extract" to get the zip in a form that would open on my desktop
I use IE Merk and have not come across that problem.
I can open it from my desktop, but when I open it in IE, it no longer will show the words that I've already found. Irritating.
ooh, dunno a
'bout that
So if you have lickety open in a window and then open it in a new window, the words will show up in the second one?
I used to be able to do that, but suddenly, it stopped and it's been a bummer.
haven't tried that, Merk
me neither.
it no longer auto-loads words, but you can copy the list and past in add bulk at bottom
hello :)
Hi dc!
hi there dc!
hello, FM, aloy, merk, et al
babbling and helping my four-year-old nephew play crash bandicoot.

hi rachelcat

hi all....clue please for st7...please?
grr, i think my connection is angry, i shall try to come back later
Oh I was such a big sissy getting my tattoo done...squeezed Leo's hand so hard his fingers still haven't returned to their normal colour
You have a tattoo, NB? I've thought of getting one.
kisses to all, be back later
bye pipping
hello everyone;)
st + female chick + amnes**
Hi again everyone
ahi crosshair
hi Crossy
ahi? mmmmm :)
Hi again MNH
ahi is a type of tuna, no?
ive got 2. my larger one hurt, but it was ok. the small clover actually hurt worse, though, because it was done over scar tissue -- fresh, new, baby skin!
lol....it was a typo Atal......
what do you call a female chick?
not to worry flask,i auto interpet all typoneese now without a thought
ouch, Eva! what's your other one?
what lays eggs
I know .... but tuna is so yummy :)
or is there a punchline coming?
Hi everybody :) Ata your photos on FB are simply stunning.
ty Soodle! I'm having soooo much fun with that new lens!
i have the theater masks (comedy tragedy) on my lower back on the left side (shamrock is on the right shoulder)
lol....oh dear, I must be tired....
Hi all...I'm new...pippengeek showed me the Light!
uhoh , another addict :) :)
flask..we have roosters and we have.....
welcome aboard sauteedgreens
its ok...I got it cross....lol
in the making anyway...
welcome saut,you will be assimilated,resistance is futile...and we have cookies!
hi Sauteed
Hello Sautee. You are welcome
and coffee is always hot in the penalty box
Yay cookies!
good morning everyone, back to finish up - hopefully
AND coffee...score!
and the odd slice of bacon here and there;)
addict? talketh you about MOI, ata?
we have cookies? are they triple chocolate? *hopes* or bacon?
Hi Flosey
pretty, Eva - did you feel like being decorated, or were they commemorative of some event?
today we have peanut butter choco chunk cookies
I'm not talking to you Eva
hmmm, I like anything with peanut butter
*giggle*
chocolate chunk - yum
NB, i had actually always loved tattos, ever since i was a wee little lass. the masks i got first. i grew up as a dancer and with a love of theater, so they were appropriate. but they were also symbolic of my view on life -- that everything bad comes with something good (and vice versa). the clover i got because i just really liked it (and ive got a touch of the irish heritage too). plus, it covered up a scar i hated, so yay!
*untalks to ata* :P
does anyone have a clue for the en6,7 words, please
en6 - put on an island
en 6/7 to put in a missile ****
I just love what tattoos say about you as a person...enduring all that pain for the sake of decoration ;) and I love mine! even more because it's so personal.
sorry, I'm wrong, dc's right
the missle clue is an anagram :)
ty bichon
sorry
no flosey, I'm incorrect
Eva badgers me and badgers me to make her a tattoo. So I do. And now she doesn'#t use it! *humph*! :D
ok, wasnn't having any luck with that clue
now play nice eva,or ill have to send you to my room;))..ouch! everyone say hello to my better half elegant
pip here, saying hi, my connection is toast today
I should say: So do I. Eventually. LOL
hello crossys better half!
thanks, bichon, got them
now ata has me humming "badger, badger, badger..."
Hi Mrs Crossy.
holt
ts
ts hone
she says hello,can someome please get her to let go of my ear?
mushroom mushroom!
lol
aaaarrrggh. So sorry
WILL be getting that tattoo. i did admittedly badget ata. *shamed*
SNAAAAAKE! its a snaaaaaaaaaaaaake....
LMAO. I'm not not talking to you really dearest. Just.
actually, i will most likely be getting TWO tattoos designed by ata. just gotta figure out where to put the other one...
I always loved the snaaaaaaaaaaaaaake
not that i like ata or would ever actually speak to her. (i hear she smells of cheese and socks)
I think *thinks* 6 people have my tattoos now!
my ear hurts..sniff...
I smell of neoprene at the moment!
mmmm. wetsuit.
exactly :) packing up my wetsuits to go to Scillies on Saturday
we would never think of crossing Mrs. Crossy - so sorry Crossy
lol
trying to think where i may want to get a tattoo of a favorite quote of mine. wrist or ankle come to mind, but they seem kinda cliche for quotes...
ooo Eva, let me show you something, if I can find a pic ...
what's the quote, Eva?
I guess the body part would depend on the quote
my godsister has the most *amazing* quote tattoo spiralling down her ankle
"Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." ~Mark Twain
nice one! my favourite quote is in my profile - "a little bit too much is just enough for me".
i actually have a photo album of quotes i love. i havent updated it in QUITE sometime, but whenever im feeling dumpy, i pull it out + it makes me feel better. :)
If your getting a quotation tattooed onto you - be sure they get the spelling correct. I have seen some hilarious bloopers.
there is one i like from him eva 'grief can take care of itself,but to get the full value of a joy,you must have someone to divide it with'
eva: http://goo.gl/fTwf it actually spirals down though looks kinda horizontal there
thats a lovely one too, crossy. :)
what does it say, ata?
hello everybody
LOL Soodle - same. At a Radiohead gig I saw someone with the unfortunate tattoo, "hail to the theif"
I'm too old for this particular subject! lol
can't remember what it says lol, but it's a very dark and depressing quote from the poet John Clare, who is her great-great-grandfather
(and BTW, those shoes are FABU!)
lol was JUST about to say, I knew you'd love the shoes! Aren't they FAB!
Gotta love Radiohead...
there was an article in the NYT about cakes decorated with instructions given to non-English-speakers over the phone. Too funny
hi soodle!
ruby - www.cakewrecks.com
Hey Rubes :)
I can't believe you know about that!!! falling on floor
cakewrecks rocks!
i LOVE cakewrecks!
what a wonderful group! But imagine having it on you permanently!
i love cake wrecks so much
it never fails to make me smikle
smile
how about "I lave you!"
thankfully, thats why i go to reputable artists and double-check the stencil before anything is made permanent!
Best wishes Suzanne, Under neat that, We will miss you
soooooo funny
and there's always the classic, "happy falkersatherhood"
how did they get alkers in there??
not only is it an epic mystery, they actually went to the bakery to discuss it and filmed the whole thing
LMAO! omg that's fab. not seen that one!
I had no idea! All I had was the NYT clipping, I didn't realize it went so far
there are even parties where people make cakes to closely imitate the cake wreck cakes!
"Of all the dads out there, you are one of them"
it's become a cakewrecks inside joke, it's now a "holiday" they celebrate every year
I like the carrot babies
I didn't see a pic, just read about that one
oh, mohawked carrot jockeys are confusing and adorable
and the cake babies coming out of cake mummies
eewww. those creep me out
omg

or, an old golfer, Ben Ho5
thanks flosey
I loved that show
lol, my sons always watched it
loved Col. Clink
think it was on while I would be making supper
hmmm lunch already...where did the morning go?
no TV in the kitchen back in those days
no, was in family room - next to the kitchen
Im counting the hours for supper
think that sounds about the right time to me flosey
are you haveing something good for supper?
is it worth looking forward to, Mom? ;)
dont know what yet - probably not - son has track and daughter has softball - will be passing somewhere in the middle there
I have an errand to run, should do now! ugh, bbs
hi nancy
hi NB
bye flosey
okay gone for a bit again see you all later
Hi NB - how are you
bye barb
bye flosey
NB - are your stitches out yet?
what's this about nb and stitches?
NB - are you there??? Poor boy cut his hand on glass
ouch!
he was actually chatting here while waiting in the emergency room
*wakes up* sorry! hi :D
hello - stitches out yet
I had to keep my mind off it, Mom ;) I'm a bit of a sissy - looks like it's healing pretty well though. And I'm enjoying the attention!
why am i not surprised, nb seems surgically attached to his chat implements
stitches still in - ugly things. Mind you, I'm dreading having them taken out, because I think it'll be only slightly more disgusting than having them put in
stitches beat staples
i had a "scar-down" with a new friend last night and totally lost, saw some truly gnarly scars
staples, Pippin?! D:
mine tickled when they pulled them out... stitches, that is...
no big deal pulling stitches - Leo can hold your other hand while they do it
I don't mind the pain so much, just the idea. And hey, there's an aeroplane in the sky!
wow - the ash must be clearing
oh, oh wow! that;s good news if they can fly!
clue for the si 7 pls
i'm in a disturbingly good mood today for someone who was out till 6am -- i feel like NB!
There's a lot to be said for it ;)
si + your ***son for today is + anethes**
the sleeping till noon part didn't hurt either,i will admit
Im a bit jittery today
why's that, mom?
quit smoking
oh, that's big! but so good for you, i applaud you
today is earth day so I picked this date weeks ago
i did it 4 years ago
oh man - well done you, Mom. I'm pretty sure I'll be nailed into my coffin with a packet of smokes in my hand.
started taking some meds about a week ago to help - I guess there has been about 10 minutes today that I didnt think about smoking so meds must be working
get yourself busy with something
Not getting the si clue
I have been smoking since I was 14 and am now 52 - its time
and i found exercise was a big help - partly kept mind off, partly the not smoking made me better at it so it was encouraging to keep doing it
kids are after me all the time so they are thrilled
I dont smoke in my house anyway. Guess I will not be leaving the house anytime soon now
I can imagine, Mom! Good for you, though, seriously. Personally, I think I have an addictive personality.
I know I do - thats why I got the meds
I've been good with giving up other things..smoking is my reward
If I can make it through all day today, I should be OK - keep your fingers crossed.
fingers are VERY much crossed Mom :)
Best of luck Mom! You can do it. In two days it will be 8 months since I quit.
And jittery is NOT the word I used to describe myself during that time :D
Thats great Ormal and thanks.
LOL Ormal. I quit for a week once. I was an animal.
I am trying really hard not to be bitchy.
some would probably like that Nancy
Oh I didn't even try not to. I just told people I was Satan's Mistress and that I quit smoking.
help with the ge7 please
very stuck on the si 7..reclue please
may borrow that from you...
si + **ave me alone + anesthe***
evening everyone
Hi Katie
just read back - LOL, Mom!!
ty mom
The ge7 (and 8) is a French word, describing a certain kind of basic cake
that is my favorite cake, too! i love custard
this is a weird weird town i have come to visit, and i'm suddenly the center of attention and it's a little overwhelming
i've spent 3 years unable to get a date and now i have 4 men vying for my attention and i have to tell several of them no and i don't do confrontation well
oops. and now i killed the chog
wow pippin - go for the rich one
I got interrupted at work - how dare they when I am playing babble
none of them are rich, but i think i'm going to spend my time with the one who wants to actually take me out
cute then?
funny?
one wants to take me out but expects certain favors in return, and one just wants the favors, the other one i've already cut loose
forget him
this latest one is very shy and i'm worried he's thinking more than what it is (after all, i'm just passing through), but i really enjoy his company
then tell him that
clue for sl 5/12 please
but i'm also a big fan of honesty so i think i can deal with any potential problem there
Pip, so you are fighting the men off, huh?
dont have it yet - Im still working on g's
sl 5/12 - to spill
apparently - i guess the problem really was florida and not me all this time
boo, what a cup of coffee does when you carry it down the hall...
Where are you now?
or what liquid does inside a big container like a gas can
scrabs, i am having a little holiday in athens (ga) where i lived for 9 years
Will you move back there?
so why can't we have focsle? (fo'c'sle). 'Tis in my dictionary!
ty
nah - it has its benefits but it also has its problems, and as long as i'm single it's too full of drama for my taste
What does that mean, Graham?
forcastle, on a ship
forecastle - a common boat abbreviation
or is it forecastle? - it is an abbreviation but a recognised one
New word for me.
old english type of thing
fat lot of use it is to you on here though
I need 181 words and am seeing nothing. Is anyone else struggling with this grid?
i have 0 words and am not trying, so i am of no help to anyone
oh! just saw the cupboard for storing apparel!
Not armoire
no, the more mundane version
I am down to 21 here - wasnt too bad until I got to half, then had to list
where gays and lesbians come out of
where I came out of
oh damn Pippin, you beat me to it!
TY for that
no they don't - a lot of them stay there because they are interested in fashion
great minds, NB
hahaha graham
i have 77 words and am thinking i am not finishing this today
LOL Graham. Well I just outgrew mine..
I am up to 78, ss.
clue for no6/24 please?
I typically live from my 3 laundry baskets and not bother putting clothing away. Silly me.
no + cons + how old you are
flask, no6 is negative prefix and the years you have been on this earth
ty, mnh
and hello everyone
i do the same - dirty clothes on the floor, clean ones in the basket
Hi Annie
Scrabbs! How is Mary's baby?
Hi Mom!
Better by Sunday. She did ok, Annie.
So glad.
grrr
Daddy called me Tuesday to review kid stuff. He always asks how I think he + the kids are doing.
Hi hurshy
hi (she grinched).
scrabbs, and how do you think they are doing?
How are you, Hursh?
hello hurshy
I think they are all doing well. The kids are doing well because Dad is doing (outwardly) well. The kids are loved, secure, and daily life is structured.
clue for st 7 pls
thanxMom
Scrabbs, with a load of love and help from you.
The adults have a tough time because we know Mary is missing and her absence is so painful.
st + female chicken + anesthes**

BBS, must go see if phone nurses need help.
tx Mom..that's a mouthful of a word

afternoon all.
Hi Red. Feeling better?
Hi red, How are you feeling?
fireworks
Woo hoo, Boo!
YAY for Boobear!!!
pretty lousy annie, but it is only temporary, I am sure.
congrats Boo
I think a lot of the issue now is a lack of coffee, but it will make me ill I am sure.
what's the matter, red?
just a stomahc virus, it will pass eventually.
sorry to hear that
red, did you see a doctor or are you doctoring yourself?
Well, Annie, I've only been sick for 2 days now, so no need. I did speak to one MD the other day no real advice given.
stomach viruses are going around..lasts about a week.
What does Scrabbs say?
Just hydration + go lsow + easy on the stomach.
*slow
its very annoying, but mostly the headache. lack of caffiene.
I hope you are
I hope you are up and about soon..maybe a 1/2 cup of coffee?
just eating ramen nd gatorade....I need to try to drink some coffee to rid myself of the headache.
dont tell scrabbs!
I drank regular tea when I had the same illness almost 2 wks ago
Scrabbs, that is a pretty good idea, I may have some caffienated green tea....I will have to look. thanks!
evan Lysacheck is on Ellen and he is hysterical....
I never knew he was funny.
He's adorable.
3:45 patient as arrived. 3 more kids to go. I hope to leave at 5. Then I am on call. Bye.
bye scrabbs
bue scrabbs
hi red - sorry you are feeling poorly
its ok hi mom, i will survive it i think.
If it makes you feel any better, I feel crappy myself, but mine is self inflicted - I quit smoking today
not sure i can survive the grid though stuck with 105 left...
very interesting.... the good one of my four fellows just called, i think this may be a very nice weekend
yyyaaayy moooom!!!!!!!
i know, i'm so proud of her!
good for you pippin
mom you are awesome beyond belief!!!!!
124 found...124 left!
red, was it you that said you despised it
i think it was me, ireally do hate it! i love quitters!
Hate what?
hi i mac, i am not a fan of smoking.
Im trying to remember - because I picked this date while chatting with you guys and I actually went through with it. So it has been 18 hours and counting
Me either...and I live with a smoker!
Keep wishing he would quit.
mom you are awesome, you can do it!
I actually feel better than I thought - must be the meds
You're trying to quit, Mom?
I really think I can do it this time
I quit today (earth day) I-Mac
We know someone who was heavily addicted...smoked since his teens and now he's nearly 49, he was only able to quit with that drug they have now that's called Champix!
Oh, good for you!
I made the decison a month ago when I went for my yearly physical, got a prescription from my Doc for something that could help and picked my quit date with the babblers.
More power to you...that's great!
If only I could get my better half to quit!
you can so totally do it!
thats what I am taking - Chantix - i have been smoking since I was 14 and am now 52. Its time!
Mom, I am so proud of you. You can do it!!! One day at a time..it can be done.
darn, phone, bbs
I figured the more people I tell, the less I can screw up
OK, I am out of caff tea, will now make some weak coffee...
It's got a slightly different name in the US...that's it.
so thanks for the votes of confidence
It's Champix here.
Mom, We are always here for you, the nice thing about babbel is that there is always some small chatter going on here...
where is here IMac
England
its the same drug Imac, just a different name.
I know, red...that's what I said!
yes, I missed part of that, it scrolled off my screen.
You got to join pro IMac so we can see where you are from
pro is the way to go.
Might if I decide I like it enough.
one time lifetime fee of $14.95. Cant go wrong for that. My bottle of wine that is gone in a night may be more than that.
It is still surprisingly one of the best bargains on the internet...
ok coffee....must go try to imbibe.
I need to get pro expert now but waiting on new computer. We are looking now - hopefully in next month.
I dont have expert, which is probably why I type words into chog so much!
exactly! us mac folks are more likely to screw that up since we have to expert access
no access, not to access
Cheap, but I won't usually have much time for it. Seeing how it goes...I'm not fast at finishing, like some!
speed isn't important ;)
Everyone assumes I'm on a Mac but I'm not, that's not what my name means.
thats the beauty of it - you dont have to finish - you plan as much or as little as your can but it is always there for you
It is when you don't have much time for it!
I hate starting anything I can't finish though!
ah yes, that's an issue!
I tend to be like that to - but have no choice to not finish when kids need computer for homework
sometimes some people really get on my nerves!!!!!!!
uh oh - whats up hurshy
just... bosses
oh - yup can appreciate that
hello all
help with si7 pls
hi again peri
si + **ave me alone + anesthe***
I am probably going to slap myself, but can anyone help on the ni5/10
ty, Momneeds
it's that japanese immigrant word

is7/32 is + vowel + twirl
thanks
ni + ***ze the day

hurshy smurshy hellooo :)
hey ata!
name that proper noun! russian author of "the nose"
spiffy new lens you got there ata!
innit just :D soooo much fun!
okay - rest the day away or go rock climbing at this gym here where i will have to pay full price?
get wii fit
not one of my options
i suppose i could go running on one of the trails at the lake - super enjoyable but lots of annoying bugs
well not for today, maybe, but...
mossie spray is your friend :)
to paraphrase charles from cold comfort farm... "everybody should have wii fit"
don't have any spray
actually i'm really not a video game person and i prefer super physical exercise, so i doubt wii fit will happen for me
gin adn tonic then!
go to the store, get spray, then go run on trails
i gotta go to chiro, ttfn all
g+t's repel mozzies? brilliant!
there's quinine in tonic water!
cool, then i can even skip the gin
:D
ok, I would like a gin and tonic but have no tonic :_
this grid is taking forever
why on earth would one skip the gin, Pippin? :P
hey there, NB!!
gin's the best bit!
what brand of gin do you like, Ata and NB?
I have to say that I don't really know enough about gin to have a favourite. I do like Gordons. And Hendricks.
I like Smirnoff Black Label, crossy recommended it
i have tonic ata, no gin. Its got .ime in it though.
Hi, Peri! Bombay Sapphire for me. I'm seduced by the name. Always seems somehow...spicy, too.
lime.
limey tonic is lovely
ok, come on with your gin ata, I will make you a gin and tonic, if you help me clean up my home.
I think you need Haz for that ....
well, I need someone, I have been a little too under the weather to clean, and its now getting deep.
clue please for in5/12 please?
I just can't. Every time I actually set out to do housework, I end up in bed afterwards feeling shivery adn fevery. Bloody post-swine flu effects. STILL
hi all - red, i hope you're doing much more better :)
hi bo.....
in5 anyone please?
don't have it Flask
not very good at tasks, flask
thanx anyway bo!
thanks Dipp!
Flask - in+*** vowel, 2 cons, rhymes with conc***, an idea
ah, too slow
in5 - unskilled
yw
hi everyone, back for last few - I hope, unless more interruptions
ok ata, bring someone else along and they can do housework while we sip and drink.
sounds good :)
oh bojazz, I was looking at your clue thinking concrete...wow, I need some rest
:)
hope you are better, red
I am pretty much the same bo, but I will be better, I have to go back to work on Saturday so I am sure I will function by then.
anyone looking at the football draft?
ok I have killed chat. pulls out the chat code cart...loaded with cookies, and alcohol and coffee. and tea.
loool no-one likes football obviously
I guess, hand ata a cookie.
cookie? can I have one too?
indeed Mixi, they are off my Chat log code cart to resuscitate the chat.
does anyone have a clue for ro7 please?
most of ro4
sprry flosey all I have is cookies.
thanks anyway red
mmmm cookies!
ty mixi
amd tjat
and that's fireworks
anyone want a clue before I start baking?
Oh I do I do, but I have no idea which one. I am missing 87.
is7,32?
you'll have to be more specific red
how about a hard 'i' one
is + vowel + sp4
ty flosey
thanks Flosey, I never would have found that one.!
is + vowel + go4 - minus the last letter for is6, with it for th 7 and change it to vowel for the other 7
yw red
hope that clue is clear enough
strange words to me
and is5 and 6 - like the scottish emblem, where there would be th at the beginning
th7?
th4/4/5 plus how old you are
yay, have nice date for tomorrow! must go hang out with my lovely host, see you kids soon
ty flosey.
yw mixi
ep7,40?
ep vowel and you've come and .... away
ty joanne, got both.
yvw
es9?
that's the extra word that Lickety had but is not in the grid today
there is no nine?
oops, sorry, that is not the one
there is 1 nine, Lickety lists 2, es9 is like a secret service
ooooh
Lickety doesn't have an extra word.
more like a sneaky ss
spy type thing
ooohhhh. TY. Fireworks.
wtg mixi
looks like Lickety has updated his clues - omitting the extra 9
TY Flosey.
yw red
god i can't see it but think i no what it is
any more needed - just waiting for butter to come to room temp. before I can bake
ends with the 'how old you are' ending
yes but first part giving me trouble
es + pi4 +
finally ty
good
what ya making flos??
yumyum squares
help.... my monkey is so tired- still ne the 2nd lo 5/14
shortbread type base, top is egg, b.sugar, walnuts and raisins
lo - big stick, 2 vowels
ok there with ya but the walnuts
can use pecans, coconut, or just omit,
add dried cranberries are good
i would just have raisins
that's good too
but am more a savory cook
picked up some huge raisins - 1" long
the lo 5/14 with 2 vowels is the first one is it not??
ah, love all types of cooking
holy
ya, nice and juicy
both sammys mom
yes s'mom
but yes, as mixi said
i am so frazzled.. cannot get it
go on to something else s'mom and come back to it
sometimes that helps
both start with sawn wood
ok
got it thanks-- sometimes i have to forget what i think is logical--lol
lo. and mama .. and lo and lo. and vinegar and ..l
that's for sure s'mom
clue for ag9 please?
there's no ag9... ag8 is pores over a decision in a painful manner
thanx Hurshy!
Flask, what a little sweetie you have there
hi everyone..can I get a clue for is 7/32? Please.
Babbleland has the cutest children
is + vowel + sp4
they do indeed Annie, I love to see them
Thank You! ---fireworks
wtg Annie
I have been at this grid on and off all day.
I did a large part of it last night - stayed up too late!
thankyou Flosey!
but, of course, I was not alone!!
*random* what does a paralegal do?
If I stay for the flip which is at 1 AM here I never get to sleep
we're lucky here, flips at 10: pm
if there is no AG9...is there the AG5 that follows??
they're secretaries for lawyers.
6 am for us here
with any legal training?
a5 a + **** with the wind
there is no ag9 but there is an ag7 and 8
well, there are courses for being paralegals, yes, and they do usually prefer people to have some sense of the type of things they will have to do
apparently they really do all the hard work. sucky hours.
but you don't have to have legal qualifications - I mean, you don't have to study law to become one?
don't they do a lot of the legal legwork
no Ata
you don't have to get a JD, no
how many AG5/14's are there?
you get a JD, you can earn the big bucks
tyty, I always get confused cos they have "legal" in their name
2 x ag5
the second one change last letter - to pl
yeah but para = with/alongside
true true!!
Hello everybody :)
hi soodle
like a paramedic....
Hi Flosey, Flask, ATa, hurshy, and annie, and assorted lurkers
Hi Soodle
hi soodle.
I fireworked a while ago. Can I help anybody with feeble clues?
Hello, I have been lurking and playing.
hi Gail! hi Quid!
Ahem. I had a look at the rankings earlier, and Soodle is on the Cream of the Crop list. The excitement nearly killled me.!!
Hi Gail
congrats soodle! will you still allow we lowly ones to mingle with you :)
Oh, Good Enough... I may possibly deign to fraternise with you occasionally.....
Quid is not happy with me. I have been taking my sone to Dartmouth for chemo all week and he has missed going to work with me. Quid - not my son. One more day and life will be normal again for a while.
Poor Quid! Don't you know you're meant to organise life around the dog!!
oooh poor Quid and Gail , how is your son doing?
Poor Gail! It must be a very difficult time for you. (((Gail)))
He is doing quite well. He has CIDP, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies. It took ten years to get a diagnosis, so I am glad we are getting the treatment.
10 years!!! demyelinating - is that related to MS?
that sounds like an unusual disease gail.
cl6/21 please....FIRST one please?
you're making me want to watch house.
flask, its a plural
(((Gail)))
It actually is the chronic form of Guillain Barre, very very rare. It goes from the feet up, unlike MS, but demyelinates in the same way.
lol...thanx Annie!
youre welcome, flask
Oh. I have treated people with GB. Not a nice disease at all...
House would have diagnosed it years ago!
feet up? how *odd*
It is up over his knees, so they are being really agressive with the treatment.
yes, that's why one wants to watch - he always figures it out!
Mike had the nerve conduction studies and the lumbar puncture all on the same day, not fun for him at all.
Anybody looking for clues, before I disconnect the power>
and he has chemo? how does that help? sorry, don't answer if it's too stressy to talk about. am just interested as best friend has MS
Any large, difficult P word please...
go5/14 and ho5/16....are my last 2 words and am really struggling.....help please???
No, not stressed. I am relieved now. They have to really suppress his immune system and they use the same sort of chemo after the immunosuppresant therapy that they do for secondary progressive MS.
ep7...book of the Bible
go4 be***** (flower)
ephesians?
ho5's heroes
ahh the biblical letter.
not the name of a book, a type of book
ho5.16 Ho***'s Heroes
the largest P word is one that guys always wish were even larger
Going for a walk with Quid now. See you tomorrow.
Ben Ho***, great golfer
and for horribly bad Crohns, thinking about it.
*hugs Gail*
Bye and hugs, Gail
oh there is one other P7, pooh's friend, pl
thanx all for the clues!....Goodnight one and all!!
bye flask, I am off too, bye dear babblers

(and I'm male)
I was going to end that with "what clever girls' but thought it would make it too easy
what do you do when you cant find any more words?
Bang your head on the keyboard.
lol, already tried that one
hi Zest - see the link at bottom to Licketys Babble Clues or give it away for the day
there's lickety's list under friends of babble
okay, thanks, i be a babble virgin
Same here...it didn't work so well for me either!
I was one until yesterday, ZeStY...or was it the day before? I've lost all track.
Day before, yeah.
lol Babble will do that to you Imac

Or day before that? I've lost it.
So will work...general lack of sleep, etc., etc.

Hello all :)
hi jilli!
thanks for the useful clues I saw before checking in :)
aah NBT. now on to midway
middle of the pack :)
hello I-Mac
wtg muse -- nice to see you again
nice to see you too jilli!
aww -- that Bermuda flag reminds me of the old Canadian one!
Bermuda ... memories of happy and hopeful times
we had a good holiday there once, visiting a friend who had taken up residence on the island. The motorbikes were scary, though!
And there was oil on the beaches
*wanders in and sits down on the beach next to jill*
*summons cabana boy to bring iced tea*
(lazily) hello all, good grid? worth trying?
watch out for the oil blob, stid -- hi!
was married there on the beach, but too cool to swim. the second time female probs kept me from swimming, but I promised myself the third time I get there I'm going snorkeling.
how are you today jill?
snorkeling is FUN! (or it was 37 years ago when I last did any)
fine, thanks, stid -- enjoying the sunshine :)
hello, everyone :)
hey stiddy! Can you have that cabana boy bring me a drink in a coconut shell please?
and how are you, stid?
hi nan :)
yes, it's a lovely afternoon -- FINALLY got sunny down here
hey nan!
hi nan!
*sends cabana boy to muse with appropriate tropical "juice" in coconut shell*
hi all :)
hi jes!
huh. i don't get all the tiles today, i guess.
hey jes!!! (((hugs))) haven't seen you in a DOG's age! rofl
refresh, jes!
hehehe
well, it's not too bad... i'm only missing the g's
wasn't going to use them anyway
so. the 8th graders today were SO MUCH FUN to be around! I have the best time when I am with actual kids...
does the go 6 begin with an impressionist painter, by any chance?
jes, that's a creepy icon!
you don't like cats made of fire?
don't know nan, only down to 196 myself...
go 6/30 sounds like something you drink out of but change a letter in the middle
heheh. i've found 40 of them...
words, not fire cats
no -- it can't -- too few points for that
BUT I just got EP 7/8 combo!
congrats, stid!
thanks, luv
*bows modestly*
thanks luv!
that was the first word I saw stid
welcome everyone!
rest of the e's eluding me aqt the moment,
hi luv
:-D you're much more observant than I nan, my first word was sl 4: to muddle through a difficult morass...
es 9
hi muse
* there is an es 9 -- it's even a common word!
got the ep7 and 8, but only after you guys pointed out they existed
*thinking about ES words*
ROFL! I GOT it! *gasp choke* though I don't actually use it every day... *grin*
but it is a word that is open to so many cryptic clues
anyone have a clue for the is 7/32?
is + zero + twirl = is7
is7?32, that is
ty jill -- new one for me
ach, 7/32
me too, nan -- it was clued last night
i think nonhip should be a word
24 to go here...
thanks jilli, finally got it
yw :)
have you been back to lexulous yet, mymuse?
Howdy group - started this morning but just getting back - 146 left. I have decided to not try and finish... just have fun.
I tried to last night but fell asleep in the middle ... wil do some tonight
sorry, had to retrieve Lucky from the femme fatale next door... *sigh* she wore him out, running all over the yard!
hey dobie!
hi dobie
I spent a few hours with my Mom since she was having a good day.
good for you (and her) muse!
cork
oyugyugoug off to pb
Hi everyone! You're icons bring spring to the air. thank-you!
Thanks Stid, trying to get her out of the house ... she refuses ... so baiting her with Matthew's play coming up.
hey blue!
go dobie go!
hey stid
I tend to lurk alot
*sending good thoughts to muse's mom* I hope you can get her out... hard to do that though after being inside for a while.
she has been "inside" since her surgery in November ... only to doc's appts and twice to my nephew's house.
hello dobie and blue
hey... found some stuff i left in here this morning when i typed pe** in the chog. if i keep it up i may need to log off for today.
wow. that's pretty extreme, do friends go to visit her?
how's the weather where you are, muse? Maybe if it's nice your mothe will go out more?
when I had panic attacks, I couldn't isolate myself as much as I wanted, but I sure had a hard time getting back to being comfortable away from home.
Well we have relocated her from Florida Stid. One friend and her sisters call occasionally.
hi jilli
that's rough muse. ((hugs))
No Jill she won't budge even when it was 80 here. She's depressed but thinks she's not. Last time I got her to dr's she had to walk 5 block coz i got the streets mixed up. That wore her out and she felt naseous later on. She might be afraid of that happening again.
si 6, please?
Does she miss her Florida friends and activities?
s+ eskimos live in an ****o + plural
thanks bubba!
ai6 -- si + cons + amn**** (forgetting)
I meant si6, sorry
Jilli I only wish she was half as active as you are. She has a wonderful neighbor next door who looked in on her occasionally, and a neighbor up the road who would take her shopping from time to time. Her life revolved around her cats.
okay, I am at halfway, and need only the i in the lower right corner for NBT... help please?
Ty for those Jilli.
stid, think small bermuda ;)
gah. thanks muse!
Is7/32 is + vowel + twirl

wtg, stid!
MUST do some reading for tomorrow, back as soon as I can to finish... (((red))) are you better today?
and muse... I hope things look up for your mom and for you.
I really am not much better stid, but, I think it is starting to regulate itself a bit, just bad headache and low energy...
thanks for the is biggie, too jill!
*mini poof*
Have a good study day Stid.
Her vision is failing her, she is unsteady on her feet, and her short term memory is very short. She doesn't even remember being in the hospital. So we are afraid to let her live by herself again.
does she have any cats now, muse?
oh red, I know how that feels -- my whole week has been headache and low energy. *gentle hugs -- warm compress for forehead and soothing tea*
an 7/28 please?
oh, I see -- that's difficult
Hi, all

Congratulations, momneedshelp!!!!!

Same here, i-mac

I wouldn't wish that on him!
ty smaa, some one jsut gave us a clue for that one.
red, Joe Haden to Cleveland

THanks Pam!
He's clean about that, Jill...still don't like it though.
e + farm animal + not off
my dad quit in 1977, he smoked 5 packs a day. He is still with us. :)
Do you think that Tebow will even go today? He's such an odd topic.
yep! there are some very good clue givers here
yep, red
Mostly out of worry for him doing it.
PAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fair enough! ultimately, i guess i was just ready...
I am not sure he will, red.
i could give good clues right now
I think he has tried, hasn't he?

HIya.. how ya doing?
phaeton, I really like seeing your icon.
e + farm animal + not off
just cluedphae
think of a shape like a hexa*** or octa*** phaeton
er .... nan?
yes ruru?
ty cyber
it's going well, ru. With you?
need to wash up some dishes, be back in a bit.
ty red
isn't it a bit early to be cluing?
hello ruru
my fav is jill
thanks ruru- was looking at it from the wrong angle as usual
Oh, ruru, a wine was recommended to me at the place where I have taken to buying my wine. HATED it, LOL
I'm fine.. the weather is finally better now
ru you ARE kidding aren't you?
Boots grenache. Wimpy!
where r u staying ruru
owl u r 2
you know ruru -- I was really upset about getting my head bitten off when I asked that 20 minutes into the game last night. I had been away for a while and had no idea that the group had decided to change policy.
nuff said pam .. stick to my recommendations..lol
ahhh thenight crew does have some strict protocols. I remember it from when I worked nights.
anyone there
TRUE, RU!
heck why are the posts bleeding over to the right?
They did turn me on to a monastrell that I like.
No one's here.
Don something or other
I wondered that myself, To
I just ignore the clues at the beginning nan.. I totally understand if you want to turn the chat off..
mine are too, TO. I thought it was just me
TO, I think that happens when someone posts a long line of letters
seems better of a sudden
(rush limbaugh is playing today under an assumed name TO that's why)
yes it does
Unbroken letter characters in a long row would do it.
No spaces.
everything is moving to the right because of it
Ruru, you are making me laugh...alot.
And tonight, i am drinking a Vacqueyras I like
lol Ruru
i thought Rush was leaving the COuntry.
once the offending post disappears... same ting when the chat gets jerky because someone has put a huge picture as an icon
Yes, ruru is funny!
?!
I have Alkaseltzer cold medicine and Pepto bismol tablets.
nothing worse than a jerky chat
The icons are all the same size in here?
not as fun as Pams drink.
i totally blew my eating today: cheesesteakm, fries and an apple muffin
Wouldn't they show this size no matter how big the original image is?
Icon size doesn't matter I-Mac...
hey guys. im new. kinda confused, but hopefully u guys could help me if thats ok with u
as opposed to a chatty jerk
no, i-mac, but there's a limit
ROFL TO
lol TO
Haha, yeah.
oh, did somebody call me? (chatty jerk, reporting for service)
LOL, TO and RedTurtle
A limit how?
I'm talking about the origina image, i-mac
read head there is a help box up above the chat box.
welcome Redheadmania
hi redhead, what do you need?
thanku mom
Hi Dorens, how are you?
Hi Dorens, congrats on Lexulous.
oh stop that,doren!
Hi jean

mom
I am wondering if RUsh Limbaugh COULD play this game all hopped up on oxicodone
56 mom.
welcome to babbleland redhead what do you need?
and hi to all joiners
Big Icons make the chog slow
Anyone else figure out that redhead is smaa in disguise?
hi red, heard you were under the weather, doing better?
es 9/72
LOLOL, ruru
I was pretty sure of it Pinny, but trying to give the benefit of the doubt.
oxi is a downer, ru. obviously you don't do enough drugs
hey owl, sometimes i'm chatty... and sometimes I can be a jerk (can't everyone?)
if you need a clue for it, redhead, just ask
is there a def for the 9?
me, too, red and pinny.
ya dorens u tell'm
Sometimes I am jerky.
phaeton, it's not the icons -- it's the original photos which are too big that do it.
and hi all... ruru, rush could be coked up... that makes more sense
Back again - sorry to abruptly leave like that but good friend on phone checking on me
not in a long time TO.. but I have been around the track..wink wink
Dorens, a jerk? Never
yes: the act of spying
es 9: think CIA -- I spy the years in my life (cryptic clue)
welcome back Momneeds
oh mom, if you only knew.
chog is very fast tonight. and i am slow
yes.coke. definitely.or crank
wow got it right off, thanks nan

lots of basil...and quatro fromaggio
that also sounds good ruru, I have a fondness for sun dried tomatoes, too expensive for me all the time though.
Im not into those designer pizza - give me an old fashioned pepperoni or hamburg anyday
Morning comes early...giving up, good night!

TO I would like your dinner
my left was twitching at the board meeting tonight

Uh, oh, kje, let's order a brain CT on Pam, stat.
eye twitch comes with fatigue i think
Ok lunch sounds good too
blepharospasm.... no CT needed
Blepharospasm = eyelid twitching. Annoying but ok!
hey i was twitching. no CT here.. but Pam is blinking. is that different?
ok so no one will help with the a... how about en6?

and I dislike find ing words that have no meaning...?
there are really some things you can't do unless you're God or have nuclear power, like en6
yay..C's done!
well done, as they were, like the reign of so many presidents, long and odd
my favourite: the co5/18 - what the?!
Aussie prez or 'Merican? either way , yep!
In physics, and specifically, particle physics, is7/32 (isotopic sp4, isobaric sp4) is a quantum number related to the strong interaction. This term was derived from isotopic sp4, but the term is confusing as two isotopes of a nucleus have different numbers of nucleons; in contrast, rotations of is7/32 maintain the number of nucleons. Nuclear physicists prefer isobaric sp4, which is more precise in meaning. Is7/32 symmetry is a subset of the flavour symmetry seen more broadly in the interactions of baryons and mesons. Is7/32 symmetry remains an important concept in particle physics, and a close examination of this symmetry historically led directly to the discovery and understanding of quarks and of the development of Yang-Mills theory.
There. Now you know there is a meaning to is7/32 ;)
