Hello
hi herin , how are you
Good. Just finished a four hour chat to a very old school friend of mine on FB
you must be exhausted! lol
did I hear that you had gotten a dog recently?
yep
No not me.
My cat would kill it
must have been fun herin
must have been my imagination- I was wondering, with all those cats
It was fun talking to this friend. Dang it I just realised there is some seriously long weekend partying to be had and I have to much work to do
Fireworks - had to look to morewords for last 5!
Yah FLosey.
Ok I need more time
Ok I need more time
ka5, ha5, ca6, (should have found that one) ac6, and at5 - another easy monkey!

g'night flosey
"And if you call for a song of the sea, We'll heel the capstan round! With a yo-heave-ho, for the wind is free, Her anchor's at5 and the helm's alee Hurrah for the homeward bound!"
I've seen alee in many grids, but never at5. Gilbert and Sullivan wrote it, though
good morning everybody!
good morning ruby!
hello douglas
I love G&S. Whe my father was little, he was one of the 3 little maids!
Hi ruby (and hia again all)
Love that verse, doug, and G&S of course :)
It has been my pleasure to participate in 4 G&S productions, although they were about 25 years ago
hello jilli, are you up v early? or about to go to sleep?
oh cute, ruby!
he was a little, curly-haired, blue-eyed blonde!
ruby, it's ten past midnight here.
Well, 11 now.
9AM here and still not dressed! Yesterday was a big gardening day and today, too, if I'm not too sore!
blue-eyed blonde -- so appropriate for a little Japanese girl in the Mikado!
presumably, they put him in a wig; it was aVERY long time ago. He would have been 101 in 2010!
Morning/evening all
hello FM!!
Hi Ruby and jilli. the sun is shining and the day is a new :)
must go for a while
see you after I'm dressed
Although I do believe I could portray a thoroughly convincing pompous twit. Every G&S opera has at least one pompous twit
lol Doug and hello.
Hello FM
hi FM -- we had a lovely day here too
Hi jilli, the sun makes so much difference after the long winter. Not a bad grid today but some interesting words I don't remember seeing before.
Slapping myself with a ha4 for not seeing ha4
That will be todays fish then :)
hello again
Evening herin.
* * fireworks * *
Congrats jilli!!
hi OSGD
Hoorah jilli!
had to resort to morewords for some strange ones
HI OSGMA
There are a few unusual ones today indeed.
I had to have a look at this video of little kitties waiting for food
Thought for a second that a dominating Czech goalkeeper was in the grid, but his name has an s
like "a diacritical mark (?) placed over a letter in some languages, as Czech and Lithuanian, and in some systems of phonetic transcription, esp. to indicate that a sound is palatalized. like "a diacritical mark (?) placed over a letter in some languages, as Czech and Lithuanian, and in some systems of phonetic transcription, esp. to indicate that a sound is palatalized. yes, unusual, like "a diacritical mark placed over a letter in some languages, as Czech and Lithuanian, and in some systems of phonetic transcription, esp. to indicate that a sound is palatalized."
sorry about all that repetition -- something went wonky
Did I break the chat?
no= i think i did
Oh well...
so be it. I hung up on a friend today before I did my rag
Did you mean to, herin?
yes she was getting on my goat
As I said before, oh well...
And it's bedtime for me, so goodnight herin and anyone who's lurking or buried in the grid.
night
Sweet dreams, jilli

hi jay! sitting down for a minute -- gardening is very hard!
hi hi!
it certainly is! spent some time yesterday on vicious weeds
I remember in my youth being able to do all that for hours on end. No more!
yesterday I put in my "ground" geraniums and did all the garden center shopping. Today I planted the big geraniums in separate pots and put impariens in the window boxes. Oh, and also did the bronze planter (old, Japanese) for the deck with different purple whings plus various herbs for the kitchen
impatiens*

FM!
Hi there Ata! and all
thanks
morning all. insomnia yet again! name that proper noun: communications officer, starship Enterprise?
Ahuru!
close haz....change first vowel....
Uhuru!
FMitch for the win!!!
D thought Uhura was a boy, and was wondering if he and Spock had a big gay relationship
:)
But you don't have enough u letters in the grid. Can we consult the referee?
Ha iz so not a trekkie.
wait, maybe it's uhura?
uhura was a girl?
I'm right *smug*
D is a twit as we all know!
he was so funny last night
yes, it is uhura....played by nichelle nichols, and definitely a woman, yes
Hello Haz and Trif btw :)
Do I get no marks for being approximately right?
howdy. happy to see you, but I really wish I was sleeping.
No credit for remembering something from 40 years ago?
you get approximate marks, haz!
he came up and looked at the draft pic I'm painting. Its a mess, and I'm just using it to check colours and stuff. D: that;s coming on well *in school master voice to backward student*. me: mmm. D: that looks like a map in the middle. me: *thinks* well, thats cos it's a map. D: and standing stones! well done! are they standing stones? me: *not answering*
well if he/she was a drag queen then he/she would have been ahead of her time..... this was the 60's right?
you both get 1/2 marks
Good. I'll take any approximate marks.
hello again, ordering water lilies for my husband's fishpond!
i remember something from 40 years ago, the very first Earth Day I was cleaning up the Missoula County Fairgrounds as a high school student
yesterday i was there for a special olympics event, it still looks dirty to me....
harpjane, are you up early, or up late?
I think the garden will be terrific in about two weeks and then a month. When is the English babble contingent coming to visit? Or is there a way I can put an album in my profile?
insomnia trif, hopefully up in the middle and back to bed after some tea
i think you can link to fliker ruby
me too. sigh. thinking of ditching work today. have never called in sick.
aaah, good idea, jane
and I must go back to lurk mode, babble does suck one in when you should be doing other things :)
lunch now, see you later. Only 38 words :(
I wonder if ruby's found the French notebook yet, ca6.
good question
And one that should rightly have a ? at the end of the sentence.
Here's another question. I saw an advertisement for a job in the local college. It's for an Economic Engagement Officer. What would he/she do, do you suppose? No clue given in the ad.
sales. phone people and ask them for funding.
So, nothing to do with offering cut price jewellery?
maybe maybe ...
It just frustrates me that they can't give a title that (a) doesn't include the term 'officer' (b) manages to convey an idea of what the job might entail.
ridiculous, isn't it!
I should go on Grumpy Old Women.
I have a silly question
is there a way to rotate the babble board?
Other than standing on your head, no.
nope
maybe it's one of those nice nigerian companies that put of funds in US banks and then looks for helpful Americans to send it back to them?
i bet it means fundraising
I think so too Jay
They're looking for two of them. 'If you would like to be part of an organisation that offers challenging (aarrrrgh!) and interesting work, the following opportunities may be for you'
speaking of which, great funny book called "I do not come to you by chance" about the nigerian letters
'The essential and desirable criteria for the above posts are available in the application pack'.
not the C word!
sorry, i just looked it up, it seems to be a term used in diplomacy, sort of an economic carrot instead of stick.
'The above posts are deemed to be chldcare positions'. Work that one out.
I'm going to go onto the website to see if they say anything that might shed light on it.
The applicants are supposed to have 2 years relevant experience of engaging with employers in relation to economic engagement or workforce development.'
I'm still none the wiser.
Oh and experience in preparing funding applications to support economic development activities. So, it looks like they're supposed to raise funds. You get the prize, Ata.
I believe I get the prize, Haz!
You're right, Jayk. Ata only agreed with you.
how silly! why not just say that!
SO important to sort out the winners!
Absolutely. No point in Ata being smug for no reason.
i don't think so, it's not fund raising, it's job development or "business incubator" activities
(besides, some of think jayk and ata are wrong wrong wrong!)
in fairness, it seems to be both
I think it's to do with getting funds/sponsorship from employers to enable students to undertake courses.
Any other theories out there?
my theory is that Im right
what's wrong with my theory (sob)?
that wouldn't explain "workforce development"
Lord Jono, click on my B icon for a beginner's guide. (sneaking back out, am REALLY supposed to be doing some work!)
it's clearly purfect
Okay, we've got to remember that the ad has been placed by a college of further education, so it's providing full and part time courses (usually vocational) for school leavers and adults wanting to return to full or part time education.
thx featherbee
So, any workforce development references are to reinforce the idea of the college working in partnership with industry etc.
you'll be happy to know that i am now tired enough to go back to sleep!
Excellent! We've bored you out of insomnia. I should raise the subject of silly job titles more often.
I think economic engagement is what gold diggers do when the potential mate has a net worth the engager is satisfied with.
But in those cases, the gold digger does not wish to have an economical engagement at all.
Hello, BabbleRabble.
Hello
I was interested in your spiffied up picture the other day. You reminded me strangely of Gandhi, except that he wasn't such a stranger to a razor.
I did trim my beard
Ah, I need to be more observant.
any clues on the 1st ca 6-24 please
auto and the first part of a wedding ring
ca6/24 - it's a French word for notebook. ca plus an anagram of what you do when you lease a car on a temporary basis.
nm i have got it
That's good.
now need pa 5-14 if you have it please
pa5/14 - like the Spanish for father, but with a different final vowel.
hm..the first part of a wedding ring?
Incorporating a girl's best friend...
thanks haz. got one more for fireworks ko 5-20
Ah! got it
ka5/20 - k plus the first two letters of the continent of the Kangaroo, first two letters of what's grown in a paddy field.
Or, ka plus Mr Geller of spoonbending fame.
he hasn't made an appearance for a while
I know. Messrs Gore, Onassis etc get all the glory.
thanks FIREWORKS
Well done, sandra!
OFF TO DO SOME HOUSEWORK NOW!!!!
Imran hasn't been around either
I'm glad to hear it, sandra. We self-scheduling domestic overseers need to stick together.
Which, conidering Imran's prettiness, is a pity.
very much
Okay, time for me to go and have a nice walk with Spangle. Enjoy the grid! I'll maybe pop in later.
*gone*
hi all...clue please for ta7/32 please??

hi and bye all - must go BBL
hi guys, ta 7/32 to do with being late
thanx Montreal and Sandyloo....
Good morning
hi merk
ha7 works the same way
although it's nightime here
Hi Merk!
The grid does not appear to be as much fun as yesterday's ... at least for me. I'm going to have to dig in.
Hi, Flask
thanx Esprit...
;-]
But thank you for the two 7s
hi jean
hya sandy
17 left here
hi jean
hard grid but haz's clues are always elegant
hi ruby
hi sandy
where are all the aussies tonight?
sleeping?
Watching the footie I guess
tonight baz luhrman's Australia is on TV. Is it worth watching?
Hate to admit it, but I've never seen or heard of it
hahah
it's Masterchef Australia here!
Haven't been to France Ruby but will be going in the next couple of years- I always watch the Tour and the countryside looks amazing
I can't believe it! I thought I was the only female fan of the Tour. I am an addict and last year it passed by my house! and the there;s Stuart O'Grady and the other Australians.
Even the French women find the Tour deadly dull!
I love the Tour and watch it every year, I stay up late at night
here, it is on from 1:30 in the afternoon until 5:30 and it is my "spec8al" time, and my husband can just fix his own drinks etc.
I like the bits when they fall over the safety fences LOL
hi all
hi boo
it is such a wonderful spectacle but I only started watching our first year here, 11 yrs ago, becuase of Lance. But now I am truly a devotee!!!
hi boo
I wish they would show the whole race, it really bugs me that they only show a section
I have to go and eat my dinner now but bb soon
last year, the whole race went right through our village (Veyrier du Lac) and the individual time trial went around "our" lake, Lac d'Annecy!
I envy you ruby it must be so beautiful there
it is the best! I am very lucky to have found this place
yummmmm nice aussie chardonay and fresh pasta with smoked salmon and capers and fresh baby asparagus
it's a less-known corner of France
OK, when you visit, that weill be on the menu
My daughter has been to France and says the food is really good
unfortunately, this is not a good food region -- too much cheese and the meat quality is poor (not like great Australian and US meat!)
clue for ac 5
and we are too far inland to have good fish
ac + onasis' first name
ty
Ruby, I am always amazed at how those cyclists get through the crowds up in those mountain villages- it all looks so dangerous
yay, half! now I can lie down
I watch it with heart in throat!
I hate the guys who run out in the road in front of the cyclists, some of them wrapped only in flags (or worse!!)
We live on 7.5 acres and always have our own home grown cow in the freezer- very tender and tasty
the beef here is too lean and tasteless. The good meat is Lalal lamb
12 left here
halal* poopy typing
only 49 left here! lol
I must try some of the halal meat, but whenever i go into a halal butcher it never looks inviting
it's the other customers who are scary
or is it halaal
lol
and they look at me, an American, in a very strange way.....
They do seem to be rather reserved
the lamb is really much better and for a leg of lamb, I have my halal butcher bone it and tie it up. The I marinate it for a day or two and we cook it on a spit. Fabulous!
reserved is a nice way to put the hatred in their eyes.....
I love food
me too, but I don't eat much any more, mostly cook for husband and dogs; I'm happy with yoghurt and jam
anyone have the first ca6,24?
We have a very gorgeous wine region to the south of Perth where they have great restaurants and wine-and we love going down there for a few days every now and then
dont have that one yet faith
I have the French word for notebook, ca + yesterday, also in French
I have that one too
that's not the first? hahah
We have three dogs ruby, two jack russels and a border collie
names?
we have two chows, Max and Ruby
well actually I dont know if its the first but I definitely have the second ones
Ours are called Jaffa and Sydney and the border is Jaz
nice names! Everybody seems to have either a dog or a grandchild named Max
We also have chooks, a sheep and two horses
and our cat of course
our cat is banjo, but I love Max for a name
OMG, sounds like heaven to me.
It's gorgeous here and we are only 17 minutes from the CBD
Max is a black autistic male, full name is Mi-Pao's Veyrier Black Maximus -- ridiculous!!!!!
But I do think France would be heavenly
CBD????
Do the chows need much coat care
I am going to try and put photos on flickr
yes, incredible amounts
Central Business District in other words the middle of the city
and they are very delicate for such big (32 kg) dogs
It's like living in the country with all the convenience of the city
that sounds perfect, sandy. We are 45 minutes from downtown Geneva, but are really in the country however with a very small property compared to yours!
which one is in the photo\
that is Ruby, the chow who owns my heart.
I am going for a second ;helping of dinner bb soon
So what does Max own? A kidney? Spleen maybe? :)
She is my 4th one, Max is the 5th, but she is the one closest to me
Max owns my hands and my love
awwwwwwwww :)
I am a poor excuse for solving this grid!

Hubby had a colonoscopy and was home moaning all day. lol
Hi to all recent arrivals......was just talking to my fishman...
hi hego, for some reason yesterdays grid too me a very long time to complete.
red, glad to hear that but take it easy
h'mm, "a mark placed over a letter to modify it".. hi red, didn't know you were feeling poorly, glad you are better
I'm resting but it does feel good to feel normal.
Red, I thought yesterdays was never gonna end....
Hope you feel better Red.
me too flask!
I worked off and on all day yesterday on the grid
Better than being with a moaning husband. OY!
oh no. moaning husband, not good.
colonoscopy
dr. should have given your hubby more "happy juice"
lol :o)
moaning due to scope? or the god-awful preparation?
the prep is bad.
Kind of both. He had gas cramps after
Find I'm playing less now that the weather is good.
guess I was lucky......other than the prep i "breezed" thru recovery ;)
Me too mitch. Once I'm home, I'm fine.

Hi FM
that is for Aloy
sooo... since the cleaning lady, laundress and gardener failed to show up today..... hi there FM!!
Morning hego et al
Hi FM! How does your garden grow?
aww, ty Annie.. thinking perhaps I should update my profile, haven't touched it
With silver bells and cockle shells all in a row :) It's drying out hideously actuall as we hav ehad no rain for ages now.
FM. Have you started planting yet?
I want to know too, FM.. rain delay yesterday, but how is today?
Not yet Annie, still getting the hard landscaping done and we are having heavy frost still too.
ooh.. not good for gardening.. need the liquid gold from the sky
Here we are having spring at last. Thinking of buy some flowers to put in pots on my terrace. Perhaps, this weekend
buying
Saw a great documentary about dirt.
Good morning all
tulips, daffodils ..
hello momneeds
Got a handyman coming round this afternoon to intall the water butt into the roof drainage system so will be able to get rainwater to water the garden.
hego - to the PB
How the fate of man depends on how we treat dirt.
Uh oh! And twice, even
great to have a rainbarrel (sp?) that word looks funny
Hi MNH
you will have to do double time
*puts coffee, cream into the PB*
I love dirt
Daffodis are arelmost over, crab apple tree is about to buest into blossom and in the mean time am sufferinf with hayfever, well tree polloen fever if that is the right phrase.
oops, joining hego in PB
We have tulips now. daffs are over
*sets a place for Aloy in the PB*
sorry for your tree pollen fever, FM
nose and eyes running for the last few days :(
it is all hego's fault
I love the company.
Poor FM
FM, I have been spared allergies, thank goodness
yay, not my fault!!!
(-: for a change, FM
:-D
I never had them before until a couple of years ago but they seem to be getting worse each year now.
Actually it is FM"S fault because she was in the vicinity when the infraction occurred.
Allergies can arise at any time.
same here FM - never had them as a kid or young adult. Just not fair to get them now in the middle ages
oh and I thought you were my friend Annie!!! *grin*
And any stage of life.
lol Annie
sympathises with Mom
Oh I am, FM! But it is almost always your fault. Ask Haz.
The red eye look with the runny nose is so attractive :)
ah well, sorry to leave such fun company but must mosey off.. FM, I did not develop an allergy to cottonwood fluff until the last four or five years.. thank goodness as we have huge cottonwood trees.. but then, wow.. by the time I get from the car to the house, I am affected
Oh don't go Aloy
just thinking about it makes me sneeze, lol
Bye Aloy. Run fast!
Achoo!
ok, FM, twist my arm.. may I get another cuppa?
Guten MOrgen, Babblers. I am stumped by ta 7. What is the third letter, please?
*passes Aloy coffe* :)
bless you
tyvm, passes tissues to FM
Inge, you are later than usual
ta7 is like the ha 7
LOL
inge you should know by now we don't do 3rd letters!
thanks
You cant blame a girl for trying...lol
FM is very strict!
*puts whip away*
I would have been surprised if FM gave up the 3rd letter.
ta7 has to do when you are later than others
Inge did you get my clue for the ta7
whip? I'll have to remember that rule..
I would have, I'm a softie.
yes, got the clue . Still trying to apply it
good clue Aloy. ty
good morning everyone
Oh I say a contratemp going on in the garden brb.

Hi Hego

excellent Momneedshelp
Can't wait for you to use that in a conversation Aloy :)

Hi herin.

hi herin.. long time no see, hope all is well with you
HI Fm were the birds demonstrating the birds and the bees?
Back to congratulate Momneeds on not smoking

thanks annie
{{Annie}} good morning

Abosdefilentyloutely
Morning new arrivers
Is MNH kicking the habit?
she sure is Hego
lol, my vocab is expanding my the minute

Gosh, that's wonderful!
And really hard.
good luck, Momneeds.. wtg
But worth it!
wtg Mom, stick with it after day 5 will be a lot better.
it will be - thanks
Hardest thing I ever did.
been 25 yrs now.
congrats, hego.. .how long now?
all my friends that have quit tell me it takes 3 days to settle down - I think today will be my hardest - asked boss to put ball and chain around my ankle so no chance to go outside - lol
wowzer, that is great
I smoked for 34 years and Dec. will be 26 years that I stopped. It was hard but it was worth it.
yay for Annie, too!
wonderful news for Hego and Annie
And we've saved a fortune of money too, Annie.
wow hego and annie. I have been smoking 38 years - its more than time to take over my life
When I stopped a pack of cigarettes was $1.50
I found the first month tough and my daughter too. But we made it.
oh MNH, you started smoking when you were a wee one.
very tough but doable. no nails, no hair but doable.
We all did Mom.
expecially with the prices now - yikes - and they are adding another tax in our state. I ran out to get a pack the other night to corner store just to get me through the last day and it cost $7.50. I almost died - I usually buy by the carton at big store.
Lol. true Annie
I supose I should turn my phone on
I was 14 - freshman in high school
here in brooklyn a pack is $8.50
oh no Herin don't do that, you might get a call and miss babble
Having entice Aloy to stay I now have to go, so sorry and would love to stay and chat but must get on. Happy Babbling all.
here in the UK a pack is £6 30
Mom. I turned it off earlier. How many cigarrets in a pack Annie?
I got a daugher going to college in a year so that $200 month I will be saving will come in handy for tuition.
some convenviesce stores in NJ charge 11 dollars.
bye and hugs FM!!!
we will go out together, FM.. must also go.. bye Babblers, fun chat today.. (-:
what did I spell?
my dad, who smoked 5 packs a day before he quit in 1977, told all three of us kids that if we did not smoke until we were 21 he would give us $100. I was the only one to make it.
20 cigs in a pack, herin
bye bye FMitch and Aloy, so nice to see you all
that is nothing here they are $14 a pack of 30 or 10 -12 for 20
Bye ladies. hagd
Ok and enough of that MOMN http://tinyurl.com/2b6lqn7 remember this instead
Ouch!
bye bye Hego
drinking is cheaper.
Wow, Only the rich can afford to smoke Down Under
thats great Mom. My kids are very against smoking and are after me all the time. I hope they stay that way.
I imagine they will MNH

Have a good day Mom
I don't eat a lot of pre made goods
Hi MNH

Hi Boo
bye bye Herin and MNH
I do too.
hi and bye Boo
HI Boo
hi Herin
oh its great but tough on the waistline - especially during school vacation times when she has nothing else to do - also hits the pocket book pretty hard
Well not really if you shop smart
but it is interesting to see what delight she has come up with
mornin babblers!
we buy bulk at Sams Food Club - cheapest way to go
Hi Eva
Hi Eva
Eva! hello :)
hi mom, hi boobear
HI Eva
NB! (((snuggles)))
We tend to not eat much. We didn't even go shopping this week
hi herin
you'd fit in well here, Herin. Who uses their free time to eat when they could be sleeping instead?!
or babbling
my kids eat constantly - especially my son - fast metabolism - cant keep the weight on him either. And he is an athlete so we need to keep after him to eat - not that that is hard.
We had food in the fridge. We got paid today and there is now 4 pizzas in the fridge for 2 people. Too exessive but I didn't monitor teh order
sleep. can i go back there??
Momn kids inhale food. My b.f and his brother used to eat a big box of wheatbix when they were teens
wow - yes that is alot - my family of 4 just barely eats 2.
I am from a family of ten. I have four brothers and five sisters
Wow Boo - thats impressive - must be fun at the holidays
I'm considering going back there myself, Eva. I was out last night. I'm babbling with sunglasses on; the screen is THAT bright
I only have one brother
tsk tsk Nancy
oh Nancy Boy - isnt youth great
yes it was as kids and we were altogether but now there is only a few of us
im just having one of THOSE days...
you said it Mom ;)
we all have those,Eva. You are not alone
do they all live far away Boo
oh no Eva...I still remember those from school. Catching an extra 20 minutes sleep through assembly used to help, but I guess you can't do that at a job :/
Sleep I thought sleep was this thing I did after 6 cups of coffee in one hit
yes one sister lives in California and a younger sister in Florida. My oldest sister is in Massachusetts and the rest in New York
they are scattered all over
thats what the staff loos are for, NB ..
eh, we are just having some stress with bills. seems none of our utility providers can get things quite right, so we have to go chasing them all around to straighten things out. plus our roomie got laid-off, so we are slightly concerned about his ability to pay rent. plus, yknow... wedding planning...
spread from coast to coast - great for vacations
ATa my gosh that is so true.
yes.. definitely
Do you know if you fall asleep with your arm in the air in the loo after 15 min your arm falls down and you wake up
perfect alarm system
(((Eva))) try and enjoy the wedding planning - you only get to do it once!
Herin...really? WOW. nature's alarm clock!
It is true. Did that in my old job.
I have been contemplating hiding under the stairs in my lunch break in classes to sleep. No one can see you under there.
you might disturb some kid already there
doubt it. I can sleep any were. Great habit.
perhaps I could crawl into a roomy keg...once empty of course. Well, maybe.
clue for dr 5 pls
Ok my lovelies it is my bed time
I have one dr5 and it is a duck
id like to crawl into a roomy keg...heh
good night herin - sweet dreams
and also dr5 - more not wet ;)
Hope across to Soho and I'll sort you one Eva ;)

sorry boobear, i was still on ca6
Tim's my fiance, btw...
good news that's its routine
ur + first two vowels + not them
the good thing about the hosp. is the waiting room is actually comfortable
their room is like an expensive hotel suite
I'm in the lobby...not as homey, but I did manage to snag the only electrical outlet...
Yes, our local hospital has really upgraded the maternity ward rooms, too...
they have a fireplace!!!! i'm a little confused. i'm used to plastic chairs
Wow, a fireplace!
things have definitely changed sine i gave birth!!!!!
I've never given birth, but have visited friends and family...
Oops! Did I kill the chat?
nope i was trying to monkey the 1st ca6
Ah! It's French for notebook, I think...
i have trouble chatting and babbling at the same time. you'd think i could master it because i can work with 30 ten-year-olds all day
ca + greeting + comparative ending
30 is a big class!
my numbers keep going up and down. this has been a transient year for my classroom
How do you like working in a year-round school?
bbl lunch time in the hosp. cafeteria. hopefully the food will be as nice as the waiting room. don't have my hope up

Hello, phaeton - ac6 is ac plus a word that means dry, ac5 just removes the last letter.
how about the u's, other than pee
ur6/24
ur6/24 - looks like a planet but has a vowel replacing a consonant in the middle.
phew, thanks
You're welcome.
i have we7... any pointers on other 7's?
ooh found ta7
wh7 - being a plural of the strange wh6.
methinks me needs the strange wh6!
As used sometimes to describe the late Michael.
thanks!!!
ha7 - comparatively tough
You're welcome.
*bop* thanks!
ca7 - latin plural of ca6 - almost a description relating to the he5/12
Hello all...
Hello, Jellen.

Incorporating Mr Geller of spoonbending fame.
Jellen, the last time we spoke, you were concerned about a dog exhibiting strange behaviour. What was the outcome?
She's not barking as much, but she is failing physically...
back from lunch. hosp cafeteria food was great. many healthy and tasty choices. i think i'm in the twilight zone
We tried anti-anxiety meds, but they didn't have much effect...
But still manageable at the minute?
wb, Luwanda
i want to be on the committee that decides which words can just have an "a" stuck on the front and make another word.
Yes, manageable...we need to address some logistical issues, though...her "room" is in the basement, down a steep flight of stairs...
poor doggie :(
thanx! baby's getting closer!!!! mom's fully effaced and contractions are increasing!
If you change her round, is that going to cause her to be more unsettled?
i take it you're not at yale-new haven hospital, luwanda
jellen sorry to her about your doggie
nope, i'm in indianapolis
I'm afraid so...she loves her doggie condo in the basement...
did anyone clue for the 1st ca6 earlier/
ca + greeting + comparative ending
thanx!
I'll say cheerio for now - hope you get your dog made comfortable, Jellen. Bye!
Thanks, Haz

hello mom!
what is the weird wh?
I was reading through the chog and it all just went over my head!
hi ruby
you mean the crazy person
hahah
I never would have tried that lol
hi, ruby
Its my favorite word on todays puzzle
ta 7/32 please
ta7= more late
hello jellen, I caught a glimpse of your pup troubles. That is just too awful. My Ruby is limping and I can't find anything wrong with her foot.
it's funny you say that, mom, I always have a favorite word, too
thanks Jellen!
ta7/32 means later than others
one of those huge bees just came in and visited me, sniffed around my head and left
I would have screamed - bees scare me
it sounded like a B52!
Obviously didn't like your shampoo, Rubes!! Hi all :)
it is really very beautiful, black, orange and white and very fluffy
I have jumped out of a moving car because a bee flew in -
hi soodle
hi soodle
I am only afraid of worms (which is really stupid) and poisonous things
I am afraid of letters from the bank.....
and errant husbands.....
lol soodle
or the IRS!
Hi, soodle
i am afraid of bees because i am allergic
sneaking in because this meeting is driving me crazy
that's a very good reason! Do you keep an adrenalin shot in the fridge?
no -- not that bad yet and i am trying to keep it that way
sorry to hear your pup is still limping
will it get worse if you are stung again?
she doesn't seem to mind when I manipulate the foot and leg
It does get worse - at least it did for my husband - so be very careful jmc
i became allergic several years ago after years of not being allergic -- some allergies like this get worse
oh thats good ruby - at least she is letting you touch it nwo
when i was a little girl we used to play chicken with the bees
that happened to me with ordinary green peas and also oatmeal, just since we moved to France
was it employment that brought you to France Ruby
both allergies are so bad that I get hives every place and my throat closes. Very weird at my age to get new allergies
or was your husband from there
you can't eat peas and oatmeal?
no, the reverse, retirement
yes
not together or separately, and I've eaten both all my life
thats not good ruby - you take care not to eat those things. Had you both been to France before retirement
evening all
I can't even touch a pea pod
weird
Hi sprite
hello sprite
Sprite!
hi sprite
have to go to a different meeting brb
bye jmc
yes, I was here a lot, both with my first husband and later on and I've always loved it. Husband was here in WWII and some other trips, but was willing to move here with me
bye jmc!
so it was your idea - that is a huge move
it's really beautiful here
my first house and garden
do you speak french
yes, with an strong American accent, but fluent nonetheless
(almost married a Frenchman in '78)
hahah
I wish I could speak another language. My daughter is taking french IV right now - I push her to learn as much as she can
I'll bet that sprite speaks many languages!!
my fathers side of the family all came from Canada - they all speak fluent french (different than from France) but because my Mom didnt speak, my brother and I never learned.
I've heard that after 3, it gets easier
not so many, actually.
aren't there a lot of French-Canadians in your neck of the woods, mom?
how many, sprite?
Last year my daugher took spanish and found it very easy after 2 full years of french
ahah!
how old is she
yes there are many
starting early helps, too
She just turned 17
dutch and english fluently, german and french reasonably, japanese a little bit
hello everyone :)
hello nan!!
hi nan
Wow sprite - impressive
that's a lot, sprite! I'm very impressed
try dcseain, he speaks many many more!
no kidding!
Hi, nan
can I get a clue for the AC5/12 please
a + auto + personal pronoun
ac + *** geller
and then add a consonant

I was so hoping for a large puzzle today. Now dont know what I am going to do tonight.
for nbt, I need a bottom a and an o
re4 a book, Mom!
my day is finishing up
Australia is on TV tonight. Has anybody seen it? It looks like a bit of a stinker from the trailers
have one of those going too - but this really takes my mind off of smoking - just quit
I saw that at the movies. It was very good.
ai4/4 and ok4/9
Hugh Jackman without a shirt.........*sigh*
oh, great! Now I'll just have to convince DH who doesn't like Nicole Kidman!
I dont know if he will like it I went with the girls. It is a long movie and there is some action. The scenery is beautiful.
*suggests a generous dollop of rum in his hot cocoa*
marvelous idea - you have got to see hugh jackman
somehow I think he like Hugh Jackman without a shirt even less than Nicole Kidman!
he'd*
tell him at the end Nicole drops her shirt
I liked her in this movie and I have never been a huge fan of hers
hahah
sprite - is that lizard on YOUR hand?
I think she's terrific - in one movie she was an erstwhile TV personality and in the one on the sailboat with Sam Neill
I never know the real names of movies because the French names are always strange and I usually miss the titles
I think you will love this movie then
lolllll no Mom, it isn't. That is the teiid from yesterday's theme and I am not sure I would dare to have the lizard on mine.
I'll try to convince him
hello all, I am back for the last 30. I suppose I should get an icon clue...
oh thank goodness - ya scared me there...
so ruby are you watching the movie in french or english
Hi, red!
hi red
hi red! I guess I should too. Can my icon be the ok4/9?
I just looked at the lizard; it's gorgeous!
it can, I dont think I have that one...
we only watch movies in English with Fr subtitles because my husband doesn't hear well enough to understand French movies
ur 6, please?
you are tormenting me, sprite, I can't find the ok!!!
ur + first 2 vowels + not them
ur + 3 vowels + plural letter
it has an indonesian ending, rubyfoo
Gotta run...Tim's out of his tests...
ok plus a word you might say if you cant hear...
thanks Jellen
oh, sure, sprite.....
will think of you both, Jellen! Let us know?
ty jellen and momneeeds
by jellen
Sure will, sprite!
The australian accents were quite strong so It would be interesting if it was in french how that would sound
Bye!
*hugs*
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)
I go to see dubbed American films with a French friend, but they don't seem to do accents, so the movies seem very flat
gratz nan
she refuses to read subtitles
congrats nan
yay nan!
we mostly go to Fr films, though, and I can understand everything but the jokes
I am trying yet another crockpot creation, which I hope will be a hit with me!
back to my sewing (have to work while husband is out golfing and I can get something done!)
what are you making, red?
Just popped back. ((Sprite)) How lovely to see you. I hope you are well?
on german television everything is dubbed too. Always makes me laugh to hear Clint Eastwood call: Hoch die Haende!
I love crockpot creations
or enchante, messieurs
hi Soodle! No, am ill and today my daughter stayed home with the flu. We are quite the little hospital. How are you?
lol yes rubyfoo. Things that sounds so very out of character.
I think you need a dose of chicken soup!
I'm sorry to hear that Sprite. I, and all belonging to me are very well, thank you.
glad to hear that, Soodle :)
we had chicken soup today, actually.
did it help?
it tasted good.
I have to go. Lovely "seeing" you all and I hope you and your daughter feel better very fast, sprite!!
bye rubyfoo, enjoy the movie
((mom)) and no bees for you!
Bye Ruby - hope you enjoy the show tonight. Have a good weekend.
bye soodle, let's hope for a big grid tomorrow!
I'm sorry sprite that you and daughter are feeling unwell.
Hi all
Ruby! Sprite!
hi hego
it's been a bad year so far, health wise. We are fully ready for better days. Let's hope Spring will warm up soon and give us all a dose of vitamins
hi hego
Back to finish, MNH. Are you done?
I did finish
Oh sorry I was distracted, Ruby, I am makign a lemon chicken, I altered the recipe a bit so one never knows.
Mom , how is today going with the not smoking.
I thought so, you little smarty.
I had wanted to wait until tonight but couldnt help myself
Ruby, how are you?
Lol Mom
much rougher day but I am hanging in there. My friend here at work was going to rename me the Bride of Chucky
you are doing great Mom. We dont all smile through life as it is. You can totally do it.
My daughter took up jewelry making to quit.
Everybody got wine glass charms. lol
wtg on quitting, Mom, keep going.
I can and I will. Will have to find another word game for tonight - for some reason this really takes my mind off of it.
thats cute hego - got plenty of those already
:-D
I have books to read but that isnt doing it - maybe because I like to read outside while having a smoke
definitely. Maybe a short amble round the neighbourhood, or road or whatnot.
try deep beaths when it gets tense.
Mom, try this one
http://www.eastoftheweb.com/games/Eigh t1.html
exercise is good
or weed pulling, as it keeps hands busy.
but you can do it.
She can. she can.
check out that link!
keeps mind and fingers busy, just like babble
just did - looks interesting so just sent it home - will definately try it out tonight. I also play wordsplay so will do that as well. My poor kids will have no computer time tonight.
I bet they understand
Exercise is good, but I dont want to venture outside right now. Maybe after these toughest days are over. You have to realize that outside was my smoking room.
Fireworks!
wtg hego
way to go hego
you can always see if you can find a Gilad video for exercise he is hysterical!
staying in and keeping both mind and fingers occupied will help a little, Mom
27 left here....just piddling away at grid, my dinner is starting to smell like dinner!
A Gilad video?
I may have an old Richard Simmons one around the house - cant get much funnier than that
that's true. i have those too.
Gilad did these cheesy exersise videos that I used to do on Fit TV. He had a nice accent...
and I have to admit every once in a while, I liked hearing him say, you are doing great!
never he5 of him, Red
don't we all need that!
Is he good looking?
Yup Sprite.
he was on fit tv, always on a bech or somewhere with 4-5 very fit people, usually women, but some men too. He is not bad looking.
I go to curves. it's okay.
I never did either. Oh on a beach - must have been good looking. Now Richard Simmons.....
lol MNH
sorry cant stop laughing
Funny
I go to a gym now, but at that time I used fit tv, it was this channel that had all exersise videos all the time, I loved it because I got to try out yoga and some pilates, all at home!
Mom, the whole exersise video thing is hysterical, simmons, makes it even more so!!!!
I'm starting Tai chi next week.
Always wanted to try that.
good for you
fireflies
oooh me too hego....
wtg hego, it is still on my to do list.
congrats Sprite!!!!
I used to want to be thinner. Now I'm just trying to hold it all together. lol
is that a baby fireworks
YAAAYYY!!! Sprite!
lol yes
Hooray for sprite
thanks all! And thanks for the company and the help. Have a great day and/or night and see you tomorrow.

hi and bye EvaN!
Have you heard of Dr Oz?
hi eva
hi + bye sprite!
bye sprite

Bye Sprite. Hi Eva
hi mom, hi hego
I am very very tempted to add extra ginger to my recipe....
He has a tv show, a crack cardiologist.
OOO ginger.
He says if you can walk 1/4 mile in 5 min, you will live 5 more years.?
but will it ruin it. its such a risk.
So I wonder, do you have to do it more than once?
lolol, I'm pretty sure hego you;d have to do it a lot more than once, its not that far.
Just joking, red.
:)
Try without the ginger for the first time .
Then add it another time and see which is best.
I put in the amount they requested, I just always seem to want to put more....
I shall leave it alone.
I love ginger.
me too!!!!
I agree - leave it this time
Have to go now. HAGD. See you tomorrow.
bye hego
Bye
have a lovely day.
bye hego
OK, I need to ta** a break and do something domestic. I am waiting for a call back and it is making me a bit frustrated.

lol good - slopes off to the pb
half way - dashes out of the pb to bed, see you all tomorrow :-)
cheater!! g'night...
hi, I'm probably not in the best mood to be here tonight - but I need to do something so if I can help, I would appreciate it
what's going on mom?
day 2 is a killer here good enough - really struggling and family is not being supportive.....
want to kill my spouse (nobody so this if you see something in paper tomorrow)
prbably feels like you coild easily kill someone, mnh
invites neighbors over for drinks - I asked them all to leave
husband included
do they smoke?
better to babble than to kill (see i-mac another reason to join)
yesterday was hard but today is brutal - I will get through it though - with swollen eyes
my husband does occasionally - no one else
lol GE - thanks for that
and no nails and no hair and 20 pounds heavier with the chocolate my daughter just gave me
i nearly did kill some old man - went to walmart to buy the patch and pharmacy was closed. he started on about how he quit cold turkey, yada yada yada
and through gritted teeth i spat "good. Good for you!"
that was night #2
my husband started lecturing me on the meds I am taking now and what they should be doing - forget how I feel
well he just heard
love it TO
just saying hi to everyone... don't mean to interrupt Mom
night two was perhaps the hardest. go to bed, mnh, really.
hi dobe
thats OK - enough about my depressing day
I am on my 2nd glass of wine - if I dont eat supper it wont be long.......
hi TO
whatever it takes. you may be miserable but you CAN do it! ;)
and I am sure they expect me to cook - think again!
I am so appreciative of the support I get from you girls/guys
well, cooking will kepp y our hands busy and your miinf busy...
Its okay Mom. I just rejoined weight watchers two weeks ago and i am not dealing well with it this time. intense cravings that i have given into. and now gall bladder is saying "what were you thinking!"
blech...
that will be my next battle - we can do it together jmb
i missed my train so had tochange plans today, stying home with no fios - no tv no internet no PHONE
hoping babble will help get my mind off of how bad i feel physically & mentally. i would love to hve a friend to talk to about it.
chat away
OH NO - why no services
cable was cut several miles away
Hello all. Just came back to finish the grid. It was doable with some strange letter combinations.
hi stidgmere
jmb - would love to talk anytime - sounds like we both have stuff - alot in common - will have to exchange emails
I got out into the yard today to admire the tulips and daffys that are still exhuberant. (SP?_ ) Anyway.
i am so close to cancelling all cable
I couldnt live without my cable - hush TO
Hi momnh and jmb ; you too 72TO. If you cancel cable could you do Babble?
unless we switched to satelite that is
i dont' have time to watch, could rents tons of dvds for the movie channel i would miss
sounds good Mom
just not watching much mor ethan over the air
Hi Stidgmere
Trees are in the way of satellite coverage for our home. We tried a few years ago and the fellow just shrugged his shoulders.
no tunless i bought just internet
I dont know if there is much difference in features or price
Well. I was going to take a nap. If I don't do it now, it will be time to fix dinner. Keep on keeping on.
we have digital cable with the premium stations including hbo, stars and encore
sweet nap time stidgmere
mom> when do you have time to watch?
and just got DVR - that is awesome
jus tditching dvr
funny I only have shows I want to watch 2 nights a week and they are all on those same nights, so DVR records what I cant watch
can't you watch them on demand?
I watch after running and picking up kids, making supper, doing dishes, laundry, whatever needs to be done
they dont have the reality shows on demand
I love American Idol and Biggest Loser (same night); daughter and I watch Americas Next Top Model and American Idol (same night) - we just spread out the watching when we can - usually when I am ironing on the weekend
oh
OK that made me laugh
i figure i can always go to hulu
I think we are the last standing here TO
what is hulu
on line tv
My computer screen is way too small for something like that
down to 29 and at a standstill
I have watched missed episodes online but have to wear my magnifying glasses
listing at 44 left... sigh

a nap
I actually made it the lowest I ever had today on listing
thats what I am hoping for - but - wake up TO

eek, i had corns removed today and it hurts. scrabsdo you think a salt water soak would help?
my favorite word of the day is the wh6/7
i live in MI and i spend time in the UP whenever i can.
oh yes!
Maybe ice, Owl
the whole first column is white
oh TO, you didnt say anything, ouch *drawing warm salt water bath for TO while pouring glass of her favorite beverage*
ice? don't need salt water to heal?
Do you have open wounds, Owl?
not sure, he did scrape off multipleseed corns
why else would it hurt?
hey TO - my husband is making our supper - feeling guilty I think. Of course my scolding had nothing to do with it!
If he dug around in the tissue
maybe no bath tonight TO - will schedule that for another night
*sigh* he said what he saw should not have caused the level of pain i claimed. and that insurance won't cover it
is triple antibiotic cream good for that
hell they'reMY feet, how does he know how i feel?
not sent homne with any instructions
I hate doctors for that - especially male doctors - sorry is any of you are them - but you have NO idea how women feel
thats awful - should have some sort of wound care instructions
his receptioniest related a horror story that she owuld get physically ill whenever she had to call her pediatrician

Hello everyone!
hi brookie

Hi mom!
A corn is a callus--thickened skin, from a pressure point. Did he scrape deeply?
hi brookie
Hi Brooke
Hi TO and Scrabbler!
not sure, i'll be ok. will take something for inflammation later
TO, are you going to the babblers reunion on May 8th? (Sorry to butt in with a different topic!)
Ice will decrease swelling + inflammation.
This is really a funny place - look back and note - serious conversation about health - then HI babbler - then conversation about health = then Hi babble - YOU HAVE GOT TO LOVE IT
I need a break at 52/46.

ca + short greeting + comparative ending
My clues are for the 1st ca6...
ha + **ace and desist + O*
I think my spelling is wrong but sound it out
ha5 adds a vowel in between the last two letters of the following word...
Lurking fireworks - see y'all at flip

waiting patiently for jmb
ca6 - think heart excercise but change last letter vowel

Hello kje! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
Heya K
hi min
hi minver!
I am doing well.. eating my gas station tacos and chilling
don't have to be work until 10am, so happy
Here is a story of clues for you to re 4/5. I'm su 4/5 some of these clues will help those not finished.When I wo 4/12 up this morning I had Babble on my mind. I aw 5/26 w/the intention of finishing grid and I did. I had to hi4/5 my monkeys to help me out.My monkeys get pa 4/6 with bananas.Monkeys were not a pa 4/5 today. They did not ru 4/5 my fun babbling. Monkeys were holding the right ca 4/6s and they played them just right. I did not have to try to ha 4/6 to find the words today. My brain didn't break a sw5/18 looking for words. Plus it's easy to keep tr5/20 of the words I find with the list.When I finished I celebrated with some ca 4/9. The monkey's re 4/5 the benefits of my fireworks with bananas. Their feelings get hu4/6 if I don't reward them w/bananas. After the celebration I thought oh dr 4/5, now what do I do? I he 5/14 dog scratching at the door before. Now I he 4/5 the dog again so I think that I need to ta4/8 him out so that he can release his ur 5/12. I sw 5/18 if I do not I will pay for it.I think he needs to pee like a ra4/5 horse. My dog acts like a wh 6/48 if he does not get wh 4/9 he wants right away.And then he becomes a wh6/33 and starts to wh 5/20. After I let him out I am going to eat a ra4/9 of ribs for a late dinner. Be back later
New band name: Gas Station Tacos
mmm, sending fresh warm chocolate chip cookies to babble friends.
I have to be up and ready to leave the house at 6:15 tomorrow :-(

Did not get home till 11pm last night from sons JROTC awards ceremony. Thus the cookies for his awards.

Go Good Enough go!
some of my co-workers wear their skates as they go about their work - said it's good exercise. i'm not very confident on my skates, so i don't do it often.

Yes indeed. The worse thing is the stupid wether sucks
ca plus person at the register minus the s
going out with others when you are sick is generous :(

Because I have a ticket
Tickets don't have to be used
Ok I have spent good money
O and joy with all the rain we have had the stupid roof is leaking

True. But also yes well
Your choice, OSGD

That would be nice Pav
I çould make a smart comment about being my own weapon :D
Why do you need cheering, Tanja?
lovely 22c over here at the moment
and in 90 days, you'll need proof of citizenship or that you're otherwise allowed to be here, else they'll send you back home on the earliest flight...
groan I just found out there is stupid football on in the city
wow, herin, how did you get that cedilla under the c?
...but only in good 'ol AZ USA...
Jill I have no idea
Someone in
oops (new keyboard) -- someone in AZ has gone nuts
I got the é by control alt E but the C no idea yet
herin, the wonders of Windows -- or do you have amac?
o
no
...but I'm same at least...I think...certain folks do have some wild hairs growing...and I'm certain the law will be found unconstitutional...but just to be safe...
same = sane
just flat - really two busy weeks contract work and of course I was bored the week so went shopping on ebay and bought furniture which is great at brilliant prices but then we have transported it and of course with working I have not had time to arrange it and I still have several hours of office work to do for us plus of course being anzac weekend all the kids are doing vigils etc which means no help form them (and thats not a gripe as such cos I approve of the anzac service they do) and my actual shoulder has now started to ache all the time whihc I think is the really bad bit
herin, the wonders of Windows -- or do you have a Mac? I have to do ctrl alt 08233 to get an é
wow - sorry that turned into a vent lol
windoz and Tnja you need help
well vented, Tanja! Now I understand -- and \\\\\\\i'm afraid I'd forgotten about Anzac weekend :(
Anzac?
okay, just because I love new information, please tell me what Anzac is
Australian New Zeland Armed Corp
Anzac was a WW2 term -- Australian New Zealand Army Corps
a military celebration?
And I swear if I see one ANZAC biscuit labled as a cookie I will chuck a spaz
I think more an alliance celebration ;)
or something akin to our Veterans' Day?
yes my kids are rovers so they have slept extra today as they will do the vigil at the war memorial tonight and then the dawn service in the morning followed by a service at willeton followed by the city parade and then do the vietnam vets service which is a dusk service and then sleep most of next day away:)
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for their countries. Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga. Contents
t
jat was from Wikipedia
yes...Veteran's Day here in November...
interesting. thanks for the information.
and so it continues as a lasting legacy by the fact it is supported by many of our school children over here
My Great Grandfather was one of the few that survived Gallipoli
there would be very schools that don't have a service
Actually, it is amazing how the young hold this day in great respect. My daughter always goes to the dawn service as do many of her friends
and I am done
congrats herin
hello all, and wtg herin
