12:02 am

12:02 am

thx lickety

phant eschew

12:04 am

nice find, josh

12:04 am

(that didn't make sense, but you know what I mean) I'm tired

12:07 am

Thank you, Lickety!

12:07 am

not chutney, drat it.

12:09 am

fireworks, no list

12:09 am

wtg mpd

12:09 am

gj, need just the 8 here

wow, just got the 8

ha, timing

12:09 am

which means...I know the first letter, but not the second, hmmm

i did not know that was a real word

so

12:10 am

8 was my last also

12:10 am

ah, got it, knew it was probably a compound

12:10 am

I knew it was a word

12:10 am

not that commonly used though

12:11 am

thx guys

12:11 am

learned no new words today

12:12 am

phants: deejay, chegoes, eschewed

12:12 am

I think that if so8 is a word, jedi should be as well. because it makes me mental everytime I enter it and it isn't recognized....ok, I am a dork. lol

12:12 am

sure is a strange word

12:13 am

jeepney too

12:13 am

hello everyone -- found the first 25 easily enough, but stalled already

12:13 am

need 3 more for nbt

12:14 am

segwhey: transportation for farmers of the future

12:15 am

moosepie

fireworks last word we5/22

12:15 am

wtg josh

12:15 am

grats, josh

no definition for that word. looks german to me

12:16 am

How do you guys finish so fast?

typing classes

12:16 am

I am good with the words, but you all amaze the crap out of me

speaking for myself

12:17 am

nothing like partying with the whiz kids!

12:17 am

I found one source that says we5 means "weight"

12:17 am

stats for the a's plz?

12:18 am

Miz: I've played Boggle for about 12 years - eventually some aspects of the game get almost automatic

12:18 am

i.e. getting one word and getting a bunch of other words that often come with it

12:18 am

I used to play Boggle (it's one of my favorite games); however, no one ever wants to play it with me :(

12:18 am

ae5/12, as4/4

12:19 am

thx grem

i know that feeling very well, pini

12:19 am

it's those weird, non-english words that get me

12:19 am

oy (should've know the one!)

12:19 am

where did you play grem?

12:19 am

yeah, eventually you just have to commit them to memory

12:19 am

I have played on Boggle (old games.com), Word Racer, Tangleword, Facebook Scramble, and weboggle/Wordsplay

12:20 am

Word Racer was where I started

12:20 am

I play some of those, too, but prefer playing the real game...that's the one no one will play anymore

12:20 am

ah, me too

12:20 am

Compared to the people around me, I am awesome, but next to you guys, I am not worthy

12:21 am

that's how I feel, miz

12:21 am

It's kind of a bummer in real life - all the cubes don't line up right, and you have to write stuff down on paper, etc.

12:21 am

true, grem...but, well, it still has an element of "human" attached to it

12:21 am

(no offense to any of the online games)

night everyone - good luck

12:22 am

best compromise: play in a private room online on two computers right next to each other

12:22 am

night josh!

12:22 am

true, grem...

12:22 am

Although, my true forte is speed games that require serious multi-tasking and being faster than other people. I don't do strategy

12:23 am

I like to play with other people because of the social aspect. I like people and it's a lot easier and quicker to talk than it is to type

12:24 am

can you play Boggle and follow a conversation at the same time?

12:24 am

I think that's why I like playing here...there's a "human" aspect attached...

12:24 am

not on FB, grem...

12:24 am

Never tried, grem

12:25 am

I can do that, but not, for example, do some creative writing at the same time as listening to a conversation - that crosses me up way too easily

12:25 am

must require use of some of the same brain circuits or something

12:26 am

stats for the lower left e?

12:26 am

ec 4/6

12:26 am

thx grem

12:27 am

40/25, better call it a night for now...

12:28 am

thx for the convo! cya tmw ;)

12:28 am

night...I am close behind at the halfway mark

12:28 am

why is jo6 accepted?

12:30 am

haven't seen any calls -- what is the 8?

12:30 am

so8

12:30 am

ty grem -- a plural?

12:30 am

no, a compound of two 4s in the puzzle

12:31 am

stupid word

12:31 am

any hints for the ae5,12

12:32 am

similar to assistants

12:32 am

who even says 'so8'?

12:33 am

what is the 7?

12:33 am

people with brain injuries

12:33 am

why not, Flosey (granted, I have no idea what jo 6 is)

12:33 am

It's usually proper

12:33 am

fireworks

12:34 am

yay flosey!

12:34 am

Miz, I've only seen it capitalized

12:34 am

congrats, flosey

12:34 am

guess I will list -- not getting anywhere with the last 16

12:35 am

I couldn't have finished without lickety

12:36 am

ah -- found the owner of the coat

12:37 am

nan, have you ever heard it used as a common word?

12:37 am

no

12:38 am

It's a cloak

12:39 am

a long coat worn by women as part of riding habit in colonial america

12:39 am

the jo?

12:39 am

yes Miz, jo6

12:40 am

huh, that was my dad's name

12:40 am

yup

12:40 am

I reverse dictionaried it

12:40 am

13 and definitely listing now

12:41 am

17 here to go

12:44 am

A grid that more than makes up in anger for what it lacks in size

12:46 am

I'd rather have 300 real words

12:49 am

*!* ta da *!* -- a lot of new ones for me tonight

12:49 am

last 2 are oe's

12:50 am

wtg nan

goodnight!

12:51 am

wtg Miz

12:51 am

thanks!

12:51 am

12:51 am

oe's are an alternate sp for the e 5-6 combo

12:53 am

good night everyone -- early tee time if it doesn't rain (with 80% pop it doesn't look very promising)

1:03 am

1:11 am

2:59 am

gratz jilli and diem

2:59 am

hi Sprite, are you still not well....seems to be hanging on?

2:59 am

morning sprite

3:00 am

night all

3:00 am

yeah lack the energy to battle it fully, it seems. Today is a bit better though, and I am going to get me some sun and exercise,if only 15 minutes.

3:01 am

good icons and writeups, jilli and flosey!

3:01 am

how long have you been unwell? You should come here we have lots of lovely sunshine

3:01 am

Thanks, sprite (I had left but came back for a peek)

3:01 am

oh sandyloo, there was something I still wanted to tell you: hego suggested a flower icon day as recurring theme and I thought it would be nice to alternate it with your pet icon theme. I hope it is ok with you?

3:02 am

ongoing sickness for last 3 months, nothing big but rather unpleasant.

3:02 am

good idea, amazing you remember that! I must get back into the icons I love that

3:02 am

as always a pleasure to see you, jilli

3:03 am

Sprite, that is sooo bad, you poor thing

3:03 am

hehehe I am queen of themes... my only claim on royalty. I try to stay on top of it ;)

3:03 am

sprite, your aalii writeup is the best yet!

3:04 am

aw thank you jilli!

3:06 am

I emailed Lickety and asked him again if he could put you in Resources as the Icon Theme person, but he didn't respond. Thee are a couple of other little glitches in Expert these days I hope he can fix, but maybe they're because of other updates.

3:06 am

I guess Lickety has really his hands full at home.

3:07 am

I guess so, although I gether mrp can walk (limp) now.

3:08 am

Hello everyone

3:08 am

*gather

3:08 am

hi lynxxx

3:08 am

hi lynxx

3:08 am

that is an improvement anyway. Still, too many crises in too short a time will demand their price

3:08 am

hi lyn :)

3:09 am

I really have to go to bed so I'll bid farewell to all you lovely people and begone -- *poof*

3:09 am

Jilli, but if Lickety did any updates, woulldn't he have to send the new version to everyone. That would take up a lot of his time I guess

3:09 am

sleep well jilli

3:09 am

night Jilli

3:09 am

Lickety is probably having to carry Pres around -taking her shopping , cooking dinners etc

3:11 am

with mrP, the children, work, the house and hopefully some moments of football or music, he won't have much time to spare

3:11 am

nor energy

3:11 am

His current work involves a lot of night work too

3:12 am

His current work involves a lot of night work too

3:12 am

that should make babble the last of his worries

3:12 am

wow lyn, I found the ocean word myself :)

3:13 am

lol, I was going to say something too

3:13 am

hehehe

3:14 am

we ARE learning!

3:15 am

not me I don't think I have it and no clues please

3:16 am

sandy, it is not that it is such a weird or difficult word, just that lyn and I both continually missed it.

3:16 am

aaah

3:17 am

no - I don't miss that one - I miss frog and golf and acne and area (getting better with that one) and a thousand others!

3:18 am

yay lyn!

3:19 am

is that so 8 really a word, it looks wierd

3:20 am

something like 'so far ago from Frisco'

3:20 am

Id like to see it in a sentence

3:21 am

see urban dictionary, sandyloo

3:22 am

20 left and i am putting the lists up now, I can go no further without them

3:22 am

it means as much as never, lol

3:24 am

I googled it Sprite, LOL, eg "when will you grow up?" answer: so8

3:24 am

exactlly! :D

3:26 am

I think that is a good clue

3:26 am

yeah it would be if you wouldn't use the second part of the word, lollll

3:28 am

now i'm using the list, i can't believe the ones that I missed

3:28 am

lol

3:30 am

like ed5/16 when I had ed4/7

3:31 am

ouch

3:31 am

down to 20 too and saving for the morning - hate mornings without Babble and coffee. Bye Sprite & Sandy

3:31 am

have a nice evening, lyn, and sleep well

3:31 am

bye lynxx

3:31 am

3:35 am

3:37 am

I have been on the ride on mower mowing a small paddock and raking up the left over grass, and it just about killed me -more exercise than I needed

3:38 am

it always twists my head too. i just find it really weird but intriguing

3:39 am

nom, I haven't seen you before , are you new to babble?

3:39 am

I wish I had a Scotty that could beam me over, sandy.

3:40 am

and Sprite, I wondered if you have had any emails from Rolin lately/

3:40 am

no haven't seen her in ages

3:40 am

She sent me an interesting email , I will ask her if I can forward it to you.

3:41 am

3:44 am

3:44 am

3:45 am

I have been off for about 10 months but I'm back now, and chatting is fun with all the lovely people here

3:46 am

I missed you around, sandyloo! So glad you are back again, and even more glad it is because things are a little better with you and your daughter. Fireflies and I have to be off. Have fun, both of you.

3:46 am

Sprite, an interesting piece of trivea (from a startrek fan) the words 'Beam me up Scotty" were never used on the show

3:47 am

Hi FM!

5:41 am

It is t-shirt weather here today, so warm and sunny! Hi Haz and MG!

It was here, too, but now there's a grey wall coming in...

5:42 am

I'm sticking to my long sleeves - drizzly again today. It's bound to improve soon, isn't it?

5:42 am

and a good grid today too although a few unusual words.

It gets tough near th eend.

5:43 am

I think you should get the better weather is a few days but they were forecasting more rain for you coming overnight and into tomorrow.

5:43 am

I think the farmers will be glad of it - they want heat and rain to get the grass started growing properly.

5:44 am

mmm rain - 1 lot of rain here in over 2 weeks.

5:46 am

Oh my Tesco's grocery delivery has arrived back in 5!

5:47 am

The fun part of the week - putting away the groceries.

5:51 am

Hi all....new pic Haz?

5:55 am

It was a delivery of all the bulky and heavy stuff, makes life so much easier. Hi Flask.

5:56 am

Hello Flask - yes, new picture of Spangle,it reflects how she's feeling!

Can anyone help with my last word? It's the mo5 after the giant birds.

5:57 am

mo5 - past tense of the cow sound

5:58 am

pt of the cow noise MG

Oh DUH!!! Thank you, and fireworks.

5:58 am

Congratulations!

5:58 am

Congrats!

Thanks! But now what am I going to do? Things are pretty slow at th eInstitute just now (not in general, but today very much so).

6:01 am

Argh, anyone know where I have put the charger for my mobile? *goes off in search*

Guess I'll get on with paperwork. Have fun, everyone!

6:02 am

Bye MG.

6:03 am

Found it.

6:04 am

That was quick.

6:05 am

so8 please?

6:05 am

I lookin the crate that has all my eletronic cabling first and then remember I had put the charger in a drawer so I wouldn't lose it *le sigh*

6:06 am

It's a strange one, Flask - two separate words which put together make a vague reference to a time. Think of one of the songs from West Side Story, 'There's a place for us' and change one of the words a bit.

that is a weird one

6:07 am

Judi Garlands Wizard of Oz song but instead the last 4 letter use a time reference.

6:07 am

Isn't it?

6:07 am

very weird indeed, thanx Haz!

good clue tho, as always ;-]

6:07 am

Hi Esprit

6:08 am

You're welcome!

hi FM

6:11 am

clue for we5/24 please?

6:11 am

we5/24 - put the thin end into a type of sandal.

6:11 am

sorry!...got it!

6:12 am

No problem - and plurals too.

6:13 am

ack phone and then I must get so4 lunch so back in a bit.

6:13 am

yes....I saw that too, thanx!

6:13 am

pen t

6:14 am

See you later, FM. I'm about to take Spangle out for a walk.

6:15 am

Bye all!

6:17 am

bye haz

6:19 am

good morning everyone;)

6:19 am

hi crossy and all

6:19 am

howdy bichon

6:19 am

Good morning everyone

6:20 am

howdy seaspray

6:20 am

Hiya Crossy

6:21 am

Looks like we're going back to D.C. for some more hockey

6:22 am

t.b.h other than babble and a nightly movie on the dvd player,life has been hectic and ive not followed the hockey this year

6:22 am

hello friends. okay - anybody remember when alec baldwin was on SNL and did all those NPR spots? His last name is a phantom today....

6:24 am

game 7 between Mtl and Caps tomorrow night...should be another good one

6:24 am

ah yes, his tasty balls :-)

6:25 am

gooooo canadiens!

6:25 am

classic spots for sure!

6:25 am

Ta, une!!!

6:25 am

and how are you, my kindred spirit?

6:25 am

ok, and you?

6:26 am

I am just fine. had a very great, and then very sad weekend, but on the whole, life is good.

6:26 am

sad? :-(

6:27 am

krystalnacht in the hen house - something ate 5 out of my 6 chickens, whilst I was out having a wonderful tea with an old friend. HATE when life does that! poor chickens! and the poor little one who was left behind has the poultry equivalent of PTSD.....

6:28 am

ooohhh, i remember reading that in the chog -- so very sorry, trif . . .

6:28 am

what a terrible shock to come home to that . . .

6:29 am

I am trying to be normal about it. Farm life....the kids of course want to run out and get more chicks, but I am actually sort of relieved that the expense is reduced. I don't want to tell the kids we can't afford to keep hens anymore, but honestly, I can't. It was a horrible way for them to meet their ends, but actually a financial blessing, too.

6:30 am

right . . . but still . . . :-(

6:30 am

gads, that makes me sound so awful and heartless! I assure you, I really am not....trying to find the silver lining, I guess

6:30 am

i remember the nightmare of keeping 20 layers;(

6:30 am

big hugs to you

6:30 am

not heartless at all, trif -- understandable that you're trying to find a silver lining

6:30 am

hey, crossy :-)

6:31 am

20 is a lot, crossy! I think 17 was our all time high, a few years ago, and then a weasel visited. in the end, it's just hard to keep hens around here, as coyote and predator infested as we are.

6:32 am

hello all

6:32 am

hey, lynn :-)

6:32 am

if its not changing the water every hour because its full of poop,you shovelling the building out and putting fresh bedding in,then eating their own egss cause you dont collect fast enough and one steps on an egg and they get a taste for it.now you have to buy grit and clam shell.heatiing in winter.them getting their feet frozen in the water dish,rickets,mange,varmits and on and on

6:32 am

hello lynn!

6:33 am

((now has the theme song to "green acres" stuck in head....))

6:33 am

une, your icon photo is lovely! is that near you? a tibouchina maybe?

6:34 am

it's a pic i found online BUT I actually have some beautiful clematis blooming right now that look very much like that!

6:36 am

ok, pups must go out to pee -- back in a mo! :-)

6:40 am

hehe

6:42 am

im so losing this game!

6:42 am

when

6:42 am

hang in there lynn!

6:43 am

to the pb my dear

6:45 am

size down that profile pic lynn,its too big to view easily

6:46 am

and too many of those make the chg crawl;)

6:46 am

hmmm......!

6:46 am

chog

6:47 am

talking chooks, we have them and there have been a number of times the fox has got them, but my husband build a chookyard with the wire mesh over the roof and floor now no foxes get them and they wander all over the farm during the day

6:48 am

foxes are not nice they kill all the chooks and rip their heads off and just leave them

6:48 am

yes, our set up is very similar, sandy, and we do let the chickens out during the day, which is when they were tagged. it's unusual, as predators around here are usually dawn/dusk feeders, but perhaps whoever it was has a litter of babies to feed, so hit at an unexpected time.

6:49 am

and we have NOTHING left, just feathers, feathers, feathers. it looks like a sorority pillow fight happened out there, which makes me think coyotes v foxes or hawks

6:49 am

the only predators we have here in australia are foxes so that is a good thing

6:49 am

foxes kill for fun

6:49 am

really, sandy? I would have thought that snakes would go at chickens too, or at least the baby chicks, but no?

6:50 am

btw, my sister in law, her husband, and their 8 yo daughter live in perth - don't know if we ever had that convo....

6:50 am

we do have snakes but maybe they could get the chicks but haven't heard of it. they do take eggs (as does our border collie

6:51 am

I know people who have lost their horses to snakebites

6:52 am

am watching New Zealand's Next Top Model - don't like their strange accents

6:53 am

I have to watch this rubbish, my daughter likes it

6:53 am

that is sad about the chickens, trif. We have foxes here, but never in our yard as our dogs are good "discouragers". However, one neighbor feeds them stuff from the local abattoir so they are so tame that they come into another neighbor's yard in the daytime. I think it's wonderful, but she doesn't.

6:53 am

there goes my babble alarm. dread. off to add value. have a fine morning/day/evening my babble friends, until time and tides brings us together again....

6:53 am

bye trif

6:54 am

****big kiss!****

6:54 am

a nearby donkey got killed by a viper bite, the only poisonous thing around here

6:55 am

foxes only come at night here, the dogs do run down the back and I suspect foxes then

6:55 am

sometimes I can smell them in the morning; I've developed a nose like a dog!

6:56 am

lol ruby I am picturing that

6:56 am

when my ears get furry, I'll start to worry

6:57 am

I wonder what a 'babble alarm' is -does it go off when you have been on too long? hmm I think maybe a lot of us need one

6:57 am

does anybody have a hint for either the 7 or the 8 (or both!)

6:58 am

I think I've reached my limit at 37

6:58 am

ooo I have the 8 - now here's a clue: ask the question "when are you going to grow up" the answer is so8

6:58 am

good morning all - wow another small grid today

6:58 am

hello mom! small and nasty, just like me! hahah

6:59 am

funny ruby

6:59 am

sandy, I got the 8 from your clue, thanks. I almost didnt type it because I thought that cant be a word. Silly me.

6:59 am

hmmm maybe I haven't grown up yet....

6:59 am

Hello everyone

6:59 am

hi annie

7:00 am

hi ruby, How are the dogs?

7:00 am

Ruby is limping much less, thank you, what a relief!

7:00 am

hi annie

7:01 am

I was scared to death about her

7:01 am

ruby, Such a worry when a pet is not doing well. Glad to hear she is coming along better.

7:01 am

What happened to her paw ruby?

7:01 am

got the so8, ty sandy, but never heard of such a word

7:02 am

I have the 7 too , am just looking for it

7:03 am

she limped for more than a week and I kept inspecting paw, shoulder, ankle, etc. in her evening massages. She didn't ever flinch. Finally took her to vet yesterday (to the tune of close to $300!!!) and he took x-rays and found a little bit of arthritis in her shoulder

7:03 am

2 days meds and she's much better

7:03 am

her chin was hitting the floor, if you can imagine!

7:03 am

I guess that is part of being old ruby, we have that problem with the old horses too

7:03 am

sad

7:03 am

but she's only 7 1/2!

7:04 am

here she comes....

7:04 am

I have the 7 , it is a plural of the ed5/14

7:04 am

sorry , no its not

7:04 am

hahah

7:05 am

its the plural of the oe6/24

7:05 am

ruby , what is the average life for a chow

7:06 am

ty for the oe, got two. We've been very unlucky with our chows, but 10 or 11 is probably it. We've lost two very young

7:06 am

they are terribly inbred, especially the black ones

7:06 am

heloo, that so8 is a ridiculous word

7:07 am

heloo, that so8 is a ridiculous word

7:07 am

hello even

7:07 am

hi peri!

7:08 am

7:08 am

hi peri

FIREWORKS

7:08 am

congrats sandra!

7:08 am

congrats, sandra!

thanks. any clues neede before i go

7:09 am

we have two jack russels and one border collie, they are very well trained and very smart, but in different ways - the jacks love doing tricks and the border thinks carefully about everything

7:09 am

you must have a lot of space!

7:09 am

the jacks are 11 and 9 (mother and daughter) border is 11

7:10 am

we have 8 acres

7:10 am

chows are not noted for their intelligence and only do what they please, so can't be trained. However, they are very clean and, if they love you, know exactly what you want

am off to sit and relax in the garden in this lovely weather

7:10 am

that's huge!

7:10 am

and it is only 17 minutes from the heart of the city

7:11 am

I just planted 12 impatiens in one of the borders, an annual cheat for the holes

7:11 am

sandra where are you?

7:11 am

that sounds perfect!

in england just outside london

7:11 am

our weather is wonderful at the moment, warm as toast in the day and cold at night

7:11 am

was hoping for a bigger easier grid today

7:12 am

so if you have good weather today, sandra, our good weather will continue for 2 more days!

7:12 am

7:12 am

8:06 am

Pip, just when I think I'm getting better at this, I get a day where I can't get words at all. lol

8:07 am

I need the clues at some point. Try to do as much as I can without them.

8:10 am

Hi Crossy! How's the guy today?

8:10 am

Hi Crossy

8:10 am

hey, that's halfway for me, yay!

8:11 am

YAY

8:11 am

ready to rock and roll,i have my sleep test tonight,they are gonna wire me for sound lol

8:11 am

see, pippingeek-you're not out of practice either!

8:11 am

scwabbs!

8:11 am

Can't wait to hear about that Crossy.

8:12 am

I had that too, Crossy. Comical actually, the wires attached.

8:12 am

so i met a fella and he wants to take me for a week and give me a stunning florida holiday before i move - i can't decide if i shuld let him or not

8:12 am

you really do not get the depth of sleep that causes the problems cause you are too uncomfortable with all those electrodes lol

8:13 am

i was just thinking that crossy

8:13 am

depends what he wants pippi lol

8:13 am

Whooo hoo Pippin.

8:14 am

Hey! How well do you know this guy?

8:14 am

Pip, how well do you know him?

8:14 am

it's more that he's taking off from his work and i had planned to be online apartment hunting and such

8:14 am

i rarely get women walking up to me and saying "hey! want to go to florida with me? " lol

8:14 am

great minds think alike Scrabs.

8:14 am

Crossy, I slept easily--comfortale setting. Then I returned for test with mask for CPAP--slept even etter.

8:15 am

i know him well enough to know he's not a creep, we've actually known one another tangentially for a decade and have tons of the same friends

8:15 am

i am hoping for a mask or a mouthpiece scrabby,this is too much as it is now

8:15 am

rarely, Crossy, or never?

8:15 am

That sounds better, Pip.

8:15 am

never hego

8:15 am

Aha!

8:15 am

In Feb I switched to the nasal pillows--I prefer them over the mask.

8:16 am

Twll us all about your test tomorrow.

8:16 am

nasal pillows?

8:16 am

i will indeed

8:16 am

Nasal pillows?

8:16 am

snap hego

8:16 am

Cushions rest in nostrils so no mask covering nose.

8:16 am

that brings some funny pictures to mind.

8:16 am

I am a elly sleeper so this is much nicer for me.

8:17 am

snap Crossy

8:17 am

i am a side sleeper,i stop breathing when i lay on my back

8:17 am

Check out Opus nasal pillows. They are an Aussie company, if I recall correctly.

8:17 am

*belly sleeper

8:17 am

All sounds uncomfortable to me.

8:18 am

i'm a belly sleeper too but i don't think i could get down with nasal pillows

8:18 am

and my belly is a tad big to lay on my stomach,id be a teeter-totter lol

8:18 am

And I''m a world class sleeper.

8:18 am

:-D

8:18 am

i have slept 5 hours in the last 2 days;(

8:18 am

not good

8:19 am

no good crossy!

8:19 am

i have slept a lot more than that, but i'm recovering from my holiday

8:19 am

hard to sleep with all the choking and gasping and snoring lol

8:19 am

I am watching 24 from last night. I have lost interest as the story lines have become more implausible.

8:19 am

so they better hook crossy up tonight lol

8:20 am

there is a surgery for that Crossy.

8:20 am

You also need PFTs (pulmonary function tests) to determine how much asthma or COPD are factors.

8:20 am

tbh scrabby i have pretty well given up on cable programming.i watch a movie on dvd or tape,if not for the wife and kid i would not bother with the darn cable

8:20 am

oh i also have that test set up scrabby

8:21 am

Good boy, Crossy.

8:21 am

sleep test called back first

8:21 am

House, I must have House!

8:21 am

but im sure the hosp will call for the other any time now

8:21 am

On tv, that is.

8:21 am

ugh, sinuses. started getting sickish on my 36 hour date with the fella, and haven't been right since saturday

8:21 am

i have 5 seasons of house on disk hego

8:22 am

I love Greg House--he says those things that docs wish they could say to patients.

8:22 am

We'll get you sorted yet, Crossy.

8:22 am

rught Scrabs

8:22 am

36 hr date, Pip?

8:22 am

uh, right

8:23 am

Pip is fascinating today.

8:23 am

yeah, he took me out friday night and didnt bring me back till sunday morning. it was kind of nice

8:23 am

You go girl!

8:24 am

now if only i were both fascinating and able to finish this grid

8:24 am

Can't have everything, Dear.

8:24 am

i love house as well"house he is bleeding though every pore!! WHAT DO WE DO???" (house gobbles 7 vicodin) "give her five pints of bleach dammit and now!" "omg house it worked" (13 bats her eyes and gives subtle come on) camera pans to cuttys cute butt in hooker skirt....

8:24 am

I am up to 27 but am stuck.

8:25 am

so i don't know if i should go because my mom wants to hang out in my last weeks in florida, i should be apt hunting, etc

8:25 am

i am at 28 and pretty well stuck

8:25 am

Silly Cross!

8:25 am

Crossy, every nurse and physician I know watches that show.

8:25 am

but to have a guy who wants to take me out like this and treat me this nice is pretty amazing, it's hard to argue with that

8:26 am

I think it's for the reason Scrabs gave.

8:26 am

It's our fantasy.

8:26 am

and cutty is hot dammit,the ladies can keep 13 lol

8:26 am

Good luck, Pip dear.

8:27 am

Yep. House has no restraint. He is tactless + blunt with patients + families. He deals with reality. No tip-toeing around the facts.

8:27 am

I love Chase, esp with his short haircut!

8:27 am

Of course all hospital administrators dress like that.

8:28 am

he treats the problem and not the patient but it is a good show,the patient is just a breathing piece of meat or "that interesting disease"

8:28 am

I second the motion that Cutty is hot!

8:28 am

No dept chairman or administrator would allow House to be on their staff--bad behavior.

8:28 am

yes, but so is house!

8:28 am

Hi jm

8:28 am

skin tight clothes and low cut tops.

8:29 am

to late jm,i have dibbs on cutty

8:29 am

good morning...just silently lurking until hot women are mentioned!

8:29 am

I kind of like House or I should say Hugh Laurie

8:29 am

Hi JM, you dog, you.

8:29 am

i even liked him with the bad mullet when he did "a bit of fry and laurie" with stephen frye

8:30 am

He's a great musician.

8:30 am

yes, he really is

8:30 am

I like Hugh when he speaks his native Brit.

8:30 am

Me too!

8:31 am

stand back the girls are overheating lol

8:31 am

he was a bit dorky in black adder but pretty to look at

8:31 am

Oh yes!

8:31 am

*hot flashing...must take off pullover*

8:31 am

That we are Crossy.

8:32 am

LOL Scrabs.

8:32 am

anything todistract me from my stopped up nose

8:33 am

How about an antihistamine?

8:33 am

crap, i hate trying to monkey a word that's possible from 2 directions. too many options!

8:33 am

those knock me out and/or give me awful post nasal drip, i usually just use my neti pot but i couldn't cause of the travelling

8:34 am

neti pot is good.

8:34 am

the farm i stayed at had too much iron in the water to feel comfortable using it, and i didn't bring it to the date so i din't have it my last day or 2

8:34 am

neti pot?

8:34 am

sinus irrigation method

8:35 am

a little kettle you use to shove water up your nose. lol

8:35 am

oh a squeeze bulb sort of thing?

8:35 am

Bye some saline solution.

8:35 am

pour lukewarm salt water in one nostril and let it come out the other side, washing thru yr sinuses along the way

8:35 am

Fresh tea for all!

8:35 am

lol pippi id drown

8:36 am

People say it works

8:36 am

there is a squeeze method but it scares me, the classic neti pot just uses gravity

8:36 am

It is very helpful to minimize nasal + sinus problems--get rid of pollen + mucous.

8:36 am

when i want to clear things i get a pot of boiling water and a bottle of that liquid vicsk used for vaporizers

8:37 am

really?

8:37 am

i just use disposable cups when i travel.

8:37 am

but my friend who had a fungal growth (aka tumor) in her sphenoid sinus uses the squeeze bottle version

8:37 am

I passed halfway so time to use the list.

8:37 am

a sinus tumor?? ouch

8:38 am

i have a plastic travel model cause i broke 2 or 3 neti pots previously, and i use the little NeilMed salt packets when i travel, easier than hunting down sea salt

8:38 am

i use nasocort. good old steroids.

8:38 am

NeilMed makes lots of nose stuff

8:39 am

I use nasal antihistamine sprays--Patanase, Astelin, etc

8:39 am

mornin babblers!

8:39 am

I like those also Scrab

8:39 am

Hi Eva

8:39 am

Hi Eva

8:39 am

hi all. any clues for the 7 or 8?

8:40 am

the 7 is an oe, brit spelled bruise pl

8:40 am

sorry to be gross here for a sec ladies,but scrabbs what can be used to stop scabs,swelling and irritation,i blow my nose in the morn and it is full of hard crunchys and blood..sorry again ladies

8:40 am

how are we all today?

8:40 am

crunchies?

8:41 am

Nasal saline spray will help, Cross.

8:41 am

I use that too.

8:41 am

ty scrabbs

8:41 am

crossy, put some neosporin on a qtip and smear it around a few times a day till things get better

8:41 am

ty geek. dont know the word though.

8:41 am

And a humidifer or vaporizer in your room. If you end up with CPAP you can ask for a humidifier hook-up

8:41 am

i have some of that;)

8:41 am

i used to do that when i lived in the cold cause the inside of my nose would crack in winter

8:42 am

mkg put an o in front of ed5 and plural

8:42 am

ed5= swelling, fluid retention

8:42 am

i will rememBer tall that ty scraBBS, ty pippi

8:43 am

ed + anath***

8:43 am

the 8 is a compound word. so 8

8:43 am

Cross, I had that too for a long time. My now husband (who's an HVAC mechanic) installed a humidifier on our furnace and it completely went away.

8:43 am

that's the best way Krysten

8:43 am

well we are over our dry win ter air now,so im hoping for improvement

8:44 am

we are in full spring mode here now....yaaaa!

8:44 am

I find it works year round. It also helps with his (and mine) snoring!

8:44 am

double Yay.

8:45 am

had to stop for a pair of deer on the road the other day,they gave me a dirrty look and moved on lol

8:45 am

ugh, tired

8:45 am

sect

8:45 am

Uh oh!

8:45 am

I like having staring contests with deer.

8:45 am

to the pb hego

8:45 am

or instead of a humidifier, take a trip to my hometown in the summer. Afternoon, all :)

8:45 am

ty for the clue hego!

8:45 am

yup

8:45 am

Give me a toughie, Hego.

8:45 am

what part of Canada are you from Crossy?

8:45 am

Hi NB

8:45 am

lol nb

8:45 am

yw Pip

8:46 am

NB!

8:46 am

Hi NB

8:46 am

i am in central north ontario krysten on the shores of georgian bay at the base of blue mtn,3 hours north of toronto

8:46 am

NB!! dahhhhh-ling!

8:46 am

ladies! and gentleman ;)

8:46 am

well 2.5 really

8:47 am

and EVA! The only gal I'll ever love ;)

8:47 am

nice area, Crossy

8:47 am

very nice indeed hego

8:47 am

*whimpering + pouting that N doesn't love me too*

8:48 am

dearest, i saw a young man in the mall this weekend and almost tripped over my own feel because he was your doppelganger! i thought maybe youd stolen away across the pond without telling me! *pouts*

8:48 am

yes, very mean of him.

8:48 am

I love it up there, Crossy. I try to get north as much as possible but since work is more plentiful south, I stay about 45 east of Toronto.

8:48 am

love the climbing pics Pippin - you're brave!

8:48 am

NB you made a faux pas. lol

8:48 am

lol! no, no favourites for me - 'cept my little sister.

8:48 am

ug too close krysten,so that puts you in scarborough,brampton,missisauga etc

8:49 am

How's the hand, NB?

8:49 am

East of Oshawa really.

8:49 am

you mean I'm not unique, Eva?! I hope you didn't greet him the way you greet me :D

8:49 am

crossy hates the city(except for their wonderful hospitals)

8:49 am

Are you near Honey Harbour?

8:50 am

im in collingwood krysten

8:50 am

good morning all

8:50 am

were it not for his nametag (clearly reading neither jesse nor NB) i may have! (of course, dear fiance may then have been rather confuzzled AND jealous!)

8:50 am

howdy boo

8:50 am

funny you should ask Hego; I just had the stitches out! Which was a bizarre sensation - sort of ticklish...so now nicely bandaged with all the naughty germs drowned by hospital antis***ic! Thanks for asking :D

8:50 am

I listen to TO radio stations and hear all of those town/city names.

8:50 am

Oh, not as far then.

8:51 am

Hi Boo

8:51 am

Good NB

8:51 am

Hi Boo

good morning people, I am disappointed that my crstal ball for predicting word size was so off. Wednesday, when I have to work will probably be ginormous!

8:51 am

se5/20 anyone?

8:51 am

LOL Eva, well as long as you were staring at his chest long enough to read the tag, I guess I'm happy ;)

8:51 am

Hi Red

8:51 am

if you have sirrius radio scrabbs listen to 104.1 the dock out of midland

8:52 am

huh? what happened to your hand? what did i miss??

8:52 am

Hi Red

8:52 am

I listen to 104.1, 104.5, ..

8:52 am

104.1 where the 60,s and 70,s never die;)

8:53 am

Have to go now. hagd all. bbl.

hand? who hurt a hand?

8:53 am

glad the hand is doing better

8:53 am

bye

8:53 am

climbing isn't brave, i do it over padded floors, but glad you like the pics!

8:53 am

tc hego

bye Hego, I always love to see that flower peeking out!

8:53 am

i have a bunch to download from my holiday too

8:53 am

bye hego

8:53 am

cut it on some broken glass whilst heroically (read stupidly) trying to stop a small fight between two punters at the workplace! Always call the bouncers; you should ALWAYS call the bouncers...

8:54 am

Aha, se5/20 = past tense of to mend/darn

se 5/20 to stitch something together (past tense)

Bouncers, NB, they like to do that. I hope its healing.

8:54 am

i would nb,you look like you weigh 120 soaking wet

8:54 am

oooh, thanks Scrabbs - bit of a tangled one

Pippin, do you never climb outside?

8:55 am

oh dear. so long as youre alright!

I suppose in florida places to do that are rare eh.

8:55 am

Hi SG

thanks science and hello!

8:55 am

NB--new photo of my handsome son!

8:55 am

Beautifully thanks Red ;) good deal for me - I got an impressive line of stitches and an excuse to get Leo to wash my hair for me. Bonus!

8:55 am

i have never climbed outside on account of the no naturla rock in florida thing -- and i just started climbing a few months ago

8:55 am

120 soaking wet Crossy?! Can't begin to even fathom what that means ;)

8:56 am

pippin we have a wonderful outside climb here called metcalf rock,you should come over

8:56 am

but the fella wants to take me out so we might go to fort desoto where i have been told there are fun thing to climb

8:56 am

120 pounds in weight

8:56 am

in other words a light weight

8:56 am

that's what, 11 stone, not quite?

8:56 am

i think i weighed 120 back in junior high. ;)

Well, when you get cash, you would probably enjoy Smith rocks out in oregon.

8:57 am

OH. there's the problem, see, it's that pesky metric system ;) quick maths!

8:57 am

lol my thigh weighs 120 lol

8:57 am

someday i will get cash

I used to climb out there, and unfortunately developed a bit of a fear of heights there as well.

8:57 am

i gave you pounds not kilos nb lol

8:57 am

NB, thats about the same as a 13 year old girl. ;)

kg would be about 45...50

8:57 am

One of my favourite summer pasttimes was renting a cottage near Pretty River, about 15 minutes from Collingwood, nestled in the mountains. Talk about beautiful!

8:57 am

in the meantime i have someone who wants to spend it on me and i'm torn about letting him!

8:58 am

that it is krysten

8:58 am

i was trying not to confuse nb with kilos but it did not work lol

8:58 am

54 kilos eh? probably about right - haven't weighed myself in a while! however, I make up for it in feistiness ;)

8:58 am

and we do not weigh in stone so..lol

8:59 am

a 13 year old girl?! Ouch...my pride...;)

8:59 am

Pip, could you shorten it to 4 days instead of a week?

8:59 am

1 stone =6.45 kilo

8:59 am

yes but for some reason i know weight in stone so i can always make that conversion

you dont look like a 13 yr old girl, but you might weigh like one

8:59 am

well it's not a full week, it would be saturday through, um, looks like thursday

a stone is about 13-14 pounds, I thought.

9:00 am

11 pounds, actually

9:00 am

you are right red

14 lbs

9:00 am

6.45 kx 2.2=pounds

9:00 am

really? crap, all these years i've been so wrong!

9:00 am

we are such a melting pot of measure lol

9:01 am

according to the online conversion calculator i just found, 120 pounds roughly equals 8.5 stone.

9:01 am

Uno for me.

I usually use 14 lbs to a stone in my classes......

9:01 am

so far he wants to take me to the beach for walking and kayaking, shopping, the salvador dali museum, and universal studios, and he's still looking for other ideas

9:01 am

the U.S will not give up imperial measure,we have metric with most of the euros and the britts weigh in stomes drachmas and cubits lol

9:01 am

No matter how you measure it I am still a heavyweight.

9:02 am

according to Wikipedia, 1 stone = 14 pounds

9:02 am

I used to think in stone but there is NOTHING that makes one sound heavier than saying "ten STONE" etc. So I deal in kilograms now ;)

Maybe you can do these things one at a time. and Universal, well, why?

9:03 am

we both like roller coasters and i've never been there before - i would have said busch gardens but hes stuck on the new experiences thing

Well, I weigh in boulders.

9:03 am

kilos is dangerous nm...oh i weigh 100 kilos,thats not so bad...oh wait a minute...oh crap!

9:03 am

i guess i do weigh ten stone then. hrm...

I will admit that I am not a fan of the "attractions" which is too bad, because I live basically on top of them.

9:03 am

well, in that case, the same conversion calculator says 120 pounds equals roughly 54.5 kg :)

9:04 am

time to go soap and hose down this mass of muscle tc everyone and have a great day

bye cross have a great day.

9:04 am

anything with 'stone' - it's just such a heavy word. STONE. Though I'd must rather we measure liquids in dribs, puddles and gablooshes.

9:04 am

poof

9:04 am

that's what I used Eva ;) no maths for me!

9:04 am

no, nb is the poof!

9:04 am

All done here! Not as bad a grid as the last 2 days.

9:04 am

yay scrabs!

I have 24 left, got distracted.

9:05 am

Anybody want clues before I go? Hospital mtg in 2 hrs and then I work the evening session at the office.

COngratulations!!!!! Shoots off sparklies for Scrabbs (stolen from Disney!)

9:05 am

LOL Pippin. Whenever anyone leaves by saying 'poof' I do often do a double take ;)

9:05 am

woo! good one Scrabbs :)

Scrabbs, if feeling generous., I have No o from the top row O.

9:06 am

Desert mirages

Ooooh, now I have 2 o's thanks!!!!!!!!!

9:06 am

and then oe6 = Brit spelling of peripheral ed5

ahhh the proper seplling!

9:07 am

And os4 = plural ending of diagnosis

9:07 am

i could use the top right a if you're handing out clues..

9:07 am

OK, off I go. Housecleaning + walking in my free time today.

and with that, I have all the o's. Scrabbs. Serves up scrabbs some tea and crumpets, if you like, with strawberry jam.

9:07 am

ae5= mosquito

9:07 am

have a good one scrabbs!

9:07 am

I would prefer brownies--current obsession that I am fighting

9:08 am

how very english, Red :)

9:08 am

ugh. just saw "moojay" in the grid, which is the nickname of someone who used to work in my office. someone i was NOT fond of, for that matter.

9:08 am

*poof, poof, poof*

9:08 am

mmm, hungry. last day for real food for i'm not sure how long

Oddly, they sell crumpets at my local publix, they dont look very appealing. like muffins.

9:08 am

stupid dentist...

9:08 am

well how rude Scrabbs ;) Moojay Eva?! Do explain..

9:09 am

i dont know. i just know he said it was his nickname. it was also his personal email address...

I try to avoid nicknames.

9:10 am

clue for ha4/10

9:11 am

it uses the high-point tile. :)

boo, its a word for a trip muslims take plus a vowel.

sorry that is a bad clue. I ADORE you ICON!

9:11 am

ty

pe 5?

nm

9:12 am

I wonder where one gets a nickname like Moojay. Nowhere good, I think.

hard to know NB. I would think you'd want to live it down too, not make it yoru email...!

9:13 am

that's ok red. I love yours too

9:14 am

LOL Red, quite!

what kind of craft is that, It looks sort of like felt, but not exactly...

9:14 am

i have only wondered if it has something to do with his heritage. but seeing as how i really dont like him, i never cared to ask...

you know flat stanley? My dog is pretending to be flat stanly.

9:15 am

why don't you like him, Eva? shall I come and beat him up for you? *flexes* ;)

9:16 am

going to put up a post on my blog trying to decide about whether to take another holiday. i fear my mom will kill me

Pippin, you are an adult, your Mom has very little to say, except that you are living under her roof.

9:17 am

not that anyone ever commentson my stoopid blog, which makes it hard to get decision help

9:17 am

heh, no need. hes long gone -- got himself fired, he did. he strongarmed his way to Leader of our group before he had even joined it, then he did little-to-no work while he was here, instead lying his face off and throwing us under the bus left and right whenever he got caught. frankly, i head my name come out of his mouth a few too many times in ways i didnt like to hear it. everyone else seemed sad to see him go + thought he was fired unfairly -- but those in our group who actually worked with him know the truth.

9:17 am

oh and Eva, love the new picture in your flickr! That blue and white dress is adorable!

9:18 am

well, mom would be the caretaker of the cat while i'm away, and she's been on my case about the cleanliness of my room, so she has some legitimate reasons to tell me no

so clean the room, and the litter box.

9:19 am

oh! if you care to see where those photos are going, NB, you should check out my blog. its rather self-indulgent, but theres nothing wrong with that, right?

9:19 am

Nothing at all Eva ;) where does one locate your blog?

9:20 am

www.stumbleintostyle.blogspot.com

Eva, I just went to look at the blue and white dress, Gorgeous! Its liek delft!

9:21 am

it is, red, isnt it?

yes, and you pull it off nicely, I am very short on me, it would look odd.

I am so surprised today, with my new job under my belt, I feel like a new person. I must have been quite awful for the last 4 months.

9:22 am

sometimes you just need a change of pace to realize youve been in a rut. isnt it lovely to feel fresh and renewed?

It's different. I got up at 4 walked the dog and did a little work and then went back to sleep for about 4 hours....I feel floppy, I am so relaxed.

9:23 am

I'm not surprised you found yourself twirling ;) I sometimes find myself quite jealous of how good women look in their clothes - though not to the extent of throwing on a skirt myself...;)

9:25 am

heh. the blog is a recent thing for me. i have been reading the blogs of others for so long and finding inspiration... picking up hints and tricks. it has helped me care again about what i wear and how i present myself. after having put on so much weight over the last, oh decade, i had fallen out of love with fashion and certainly with my own body. the blog helps me like it again. ;)

9:25 am

i felt like that in athens, just like a weight was off me and i was me again. then i came back to florida and within 2 minutes was holding back tears of rage, but i'm out soon

9:26 am

well good for you! Fashion isn't a size thing, it's a sense of how to flatter whatever shape god's given you. I think you look gorgeous! And sassy ;)

9:27 am

::blushes:: thanky

OK this is weird....the news just came on and was telling about a homocide situation, we treated the homocidist over the weekend, usually I am not so close to the news.

can you be a homocidist?

9:28 am

im at a strangely frustrating size where, technically i am plus-sized, though many people dont think i *look* it, but im small in the plus-sized world. regular clothes are usually too small, but plus-sized clothes are often too large and usually too boring for me. its takes a little extra creativity for me to put together an outfit i like.

9:29 am

strange, red. i always thought the word was "murderer." maybe they felt that was a little too...loaded?

Oh Eva, I remember trying to shop at lane bryant and nothing was cut for me.

Well, I hope they nail him he was a nasty person.

9:30 am

i have some lane bryant pants. (i cant buy tops there -- apparently they think plus sized women all have huge boobs and some of us just dont!) even the pants fit somewhat strangely...

9:31 am

done...now, what do I do the remainder of the day?

yeah, I was unable to really buy there, the dresses fit but they hung strangely on my body.

Oh Lawyer, you can cook, clean, go for a walk...

Give me a clue for the J I am missing.

9:31 am

I have the same problem with being short - I used to buy loads of clothes when visiting Korea over the summers, because stuff there is tailored better for munchkins like me! Lots of clothes in English stores make me look like a kid dressing up.

i have the males name

9:32 am

i am in the office....so, no cooking, cleaning or walking

9:32 am

which j r u missing?

Ok, perhaps I suppose, errr, office work.

9:33 am

they are both male names

I have the plural mans name, looking looking for the other.

9:33 am

it's the formal version of the one u have

9:34 am

i have "eat at jo**"

9:34 am

and it's singular

that is a word? Thank you Lawyer 1!

9:34 am

well, feel free to page through my blog, NB. i appreciate any and all loving feedback. ;)

9:34 am

i did not say it was a word...i meant it was what u r missing

official definition: a long coat buttoning in the front, worn esp. by women as part of their riding habit in colonial America.

9:35 am

not something one would find at Lane Bryant

9:36 am

anyone need any other clues?

9:36 am

LOL Lawyer! I hear you Americans have our British TopShop now - what do you think?

9:36 am

can't concentrate, need a shower

9:37 am

wonder if named after Jo**** 's coat of many colors

9:37 am

i think topshop is only in nyc now, but i'm excited

9:37 am

like h&m but better made is what i understand

9:37 am

and i love me some h&m

9:38 am

i have never been excited by any store other than, perhaps, Wegman's

9:38 am

i get excited about lots of stores - hardware stores, clothing shops, whatev

I hate shopping, so....

9:39 am

only in New York? Booo... As I was the token gay guy in my school, I have been dragged into TopShop by excited gaggles of girls more times than I care to mention ;)

Wegmans used to be fun. But not here in Florida.

9:40 am

unfortunately, I have never been dragged anywhere by a gaggle of girls, either excited or not

9:40 am

NB, if ever you visit the states, id gladly drag you shopping with me. :)

9:41 am

And if you ever visist the UK, Eva, I'll gladly be dragged anywhere you want ;)

9:43 am

careful with that offer. seeing as how my entire family is over there, it may happen sooner than you think. ;)

9:44 am

okay, really shower now, be back later for my last 16

9:45 am

you can show me around London then - I still get lost. Actually I'm grateful for my screwy sense of direction; if I hadn't been a) at the wrong underground station and b) waiting for a train going in the completely wrong direction, I'd never have met Leo at all! God bless my mental inner compass.

Oh my, I am actually following the advice of the today show and putting antiphising stuff on my mac.

9:46 am

heh, we could get lost together. ;) honestly, im not even sure where in england my relatives live any more! i know my aunt + uncle live in Hook... and i know ive got some random relatives scattered about london. the rest? who knows...

9:49 am

hm - sounds like you have the same problem as me what with all your relatives being across the sea! though at least they speak (roughly!) the same language ;)

9:50 am

sometimes i wonder. ;)

9:50 am

my parents have lived in this country for over 45 years, but im still not sure WHAT language they speak...heh

9:52 am

LOL! Well you might have stood a chance of understand me before I moved - I used to speak in a very sort of early BBC voice - now I'm developing a London accent, so soon I'll be entirely incomprehensible...

9:53 am

*understanding, that is

9:54 am

ae clue?

9:54 am

just so long as you dont sound like the East Enders. my parents LOVE that show, but im not sure of anything theyre saying... even my parents hardly understand them, so they turn the volume louder. as if that will make the actors speak clearer...

9:54 am

hi, Mkg! Don't have it, sorry!

9:55 am

ok ty

9:55 am

ae is a mosquito

9:56 am

ae + mr ** the horse + plural letter

9:56 am

well not yet ;) I am fluent in the East Enders dialect though. I'm trying to hold off, because I just don't think a little Korean boy will suit a cockney accent...

9:56 am

it *would* seem rather incongruous. ;)

9:58 am

I must say though, all the lovely pictures in your blog are making me feel a bit guilty about my icon - it needs, as you might say, a pop of colour ;)

9:58 am

moased

9:58 am

10:02 am

nancy now why is that a word? that is a name! how frustrating. ty for clue.

10:02 am

do you have the oe word, the 6? i am sure the 7 is plural.

10:03 am

no problem ;) I know, I tried it in a fit of hopelessness. And nope, don't have the oe! Don't have time to get it either...should be off to work soon..

10:03 am

NB, dearest, if i recall correctly, you dont have a FB or a myspace or anything like that, do you?

10:03 am

me too.

10:04 am

it is a skin disease

10:05 am

I started on myspace recently (on JC's insistence!) and have started leaving it to rot - I will use it more though, if you have it too. Promise ;)

10:05 am

7 to go

10:05 am

(all my friends use fb rather than myspace, but fb scares me. so my myspace is lonely)

10:06 am

i have a myspace, but i dont use it -- i too have made the FB switch. :)

10:07 am

this is why I'm all alone ;) for me though, people behave very oddly on facebook. A billion people that I'd met once or twice seemed to all add me at once. Most of them I'd forgotten existed! How frightening ;)

10:08 am

clue for mo5/14

10:09 am

which is funny because, as you can probably see, I just love attention. I did some one-time modelling for an advert for jeans for a store back home and used to loiter next to the picture to see if anyone would notice! lol

im happy to announce that i finally successfully nagged Chris into working on a guest list. poor guy even gave in + called his mom. ;)

11:48 am

thank you Jmc ;) actually that's more of a confused face for me. It's the neutral expression I tend to put on when I don't have a clue what's going on ;)

11:48 am

oh yes,ive lost track,when is the big day eva?

11:48 am

poor chris

11:48 am

Yay Eva! Oooh, I'm so excited for you!

11:49 am

october 23. i actually basically told him that we need to order + send out save-the-dates like yesterday, so if he didnt give me a list soon, i would just send it to the people i had, and that would be that.

11:52 am

gotta go now dinner on the table! bye all

11:52 am

for my parents' 25th anniversary, my sister and I organised a private hot air balloon ride for them. And I wonder why they disown me ;)

11:52 am

well, other than them + my brother, theres no family in the country. would love to have a party...just need to figure out where -- neither my brother nor i have a house large enough, and it seems rather inappropriate to throw a party AT my parents house... and what with a wedding this year, money will be rather tight.

11:52 am

you are very lucky mummy and i am sure you earned it

11:52 am

luckily I'm the only family member who's a complete wimp when it comes to heights

11:52 am

that was what i planned for my 10th wedding anniversary but it was not to be

11:52 am

oh, NB! i would have LOVED that! chris would have throttled you, but *I* would have loved it. :)

11:53 am

what date is their 50th eva?

11:53 am

no you can do it at their house if you make sure you bring the food, set it out and clean it up

the party or the balloon ride, jmc?

11:53 am

august 16, 2011

11:53 am

oh next aug

11:54 am

yup. next year.

do they belong to a church or similar? Maybe could have it there?

11:54 am

ah well neither one since my husband died the previous fall

11:55 am

at least you can have it outside,rent some of those shade tents have a big bbq etc

11:55 am

their house would be perfect. waterfront, HUGE yard. will probably just do it there...

no, I meant, which did you plan? (sorry about husband)

11:55 am

I would have throttled me! The thought of going in a hot air balloon makes me feel completely sick with dread - even booking it I felt ill!

11:55 am

oh, I'm sorry, Jmc!

11:56 am

i am sorry as well jmc,i did not know;(

11:57 am

long time ago

11:57 am

i have been in a hot air balloon nb,go! do it! it is an experience you will never forget!l

11:58 am

and i have bungee jumped once as well just to say i have done it

11:58 am

OMG, Crossy. The balloon I could mayyyybe understand, but bungee jumping?!

11:59 am

it was wild

I got to do a hot air balloon ride last year -- would do it again in a minute

not the bungee jumping, though

11:59 am

see? fuq knows;)

12:00 pm

oh i planned the hot air balloon

12:00 pm

ive done this twice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= EmZ7VmhZk1Q (note: not my video)

12:00 pm

what would you all say was the scariest thing you've EVER done?

12:01 pm

my boy bungee jumping but i never would -- i would be dead from fright wh** they pulled me up!

12:01 pm

intentionally?

12:01 pm

yes,i have seen tose eve,look fun

got to get back to work. bbl. enjoy the afternoon!

12:01 pm

or that happened?

12:01 pm

bye fuq

12:02 pm

oh yes, intentionally!

12:02 pm

hmmmm

12:02 pm

the scariest thing i have ever done is crash land in the forest in a bush plane

12:02 pm

unintentionally

12:03 pm

i think that sky flyer was by far the scariest thing ive ever done. twice.

12:03 pm

the scariest thing i did was smack a gun that was pointed at my head out of the assailants hand

12:03 pm

intentionally,cliff diving

12:03 pm

does that count as intentional?

12:04 pm

Oh my GOD Eva that looks awful. Really, really, just...watching the video made me go pale!

12:04 pm

walk in a forest with no moon at night -- i am afraid of the dark!

12:04 pm

errrrr, yes Jmc! That's mental - how shocking - when was this?!

12:04 pm

looking down the barrel of a shaking gun is indeed scary

12:04 pm

centuries ago

12:05 pm

she thought i was sleeping with her boyfriend but since i knew he was gay i was not interested what so even

12:05 pm

*whatsoever

12:05 pm

all i remember is that an unstoppable string of expletives was spewing forth from my mouth -- most of them made up entirely on the spot...

12:06 pm

lol

12:06 pm

lol eva

12:06 pm

i had a stare down with a bacl bear once in the bush does that count?

12:06 pm

black

12:07 pm

they video tape everyone in hopes of selling you the tape, but they mysteriously "lost" ours -- i presume because of my language. ;)

12:08 pm

too many scary things have come and gone nb hehe

12:09 pm

scariest thing for me was coming out to my parents. My hands shook for hours afterwards! It was hard to physically get the words out - I stuttered like an idiot for about five minutes first

12:09 pm

it is sad and here we would only be worried that he was a nice enough fella for you

12:10 pm

I was thinking that Crossy - if I'd lead your life, I'd be scared to leave the house!

12:10 pm

i have gone through the ice while crossing a frozen lake also

12:11 pm

...how DO you leave the house, Crossy?!

12:11 pm

*offers NB and Crossy some of her cupcake*

12:11 pm

after a while you do not fear death,you do not ignore it,you just respect it

12:12 pm

i meqan why should i worry? i have survived cancer time 3 also..hell i could get run over by a bus while crossing the street today so why worry

12:12 pm

I would, Eva, but after watching that video I don't think I'll be facing food for a while ;)

12:12 pm

worrying will not change the future one iota,worrying is like trying to empty the ocean with a teraspoon

12:13 pm

teaspoon

12:13 pm

i live the day nat hand and if i survive it i have had a good day,not a day of worry:)

12:13 pm

heh, i promise if you ever visit, i wont make you do that. ;)

12:14 pm

good philosophy Crossy - I suppose I see what you mean. I wish I could be the same! But the way my parents reacted just made me more scared of telling people in case they react the same way - although I must say, you fine folks here are doing a wonderful job of changing that :)

12:14 pm

you and i will go eva

12:14 pm

you come here nb,and we will get you all married up;)

12:15 pm

you just come here first to go wedding shopping. ;)

12:15 pm

yup,eve can do the details

12:15 pm

we can drive a few hours over to delaware with their tax-free shopping. ;)

12:15 pm

hear that Crossy? After all you've been through, I think wedding shopping is the only scary thing left!

12:15 pm

LOL Crossy. Don't scare Leo now ;)

12:16 pm

nothing scary! im a pro now!

12:16 pm

ill book the church

12:17 pm

come on over -- we can have a double-wedding. ;)

12:18 pm

can nb wed in you state ok eva?

12:19 pm

if not you all come up here lol

12:19 pm

alas, no, not yet. but we already have a venue...

12:19 pm

This is too funny - three years ago I first saw Leo, standing on a train platform with his girlfriend - and now you have him ready to march down the aisle with his boyfriend!

12:20 pm

U.S is funny that way,you can have same sex marriages in 3 or 4 states,but you can marry you first cousin in 30 of them lol

12:20 pm

nb, we have some great gay friends in DE whom you could meet up with while assisting Eva

12:21 pm

sad, innit crossy?

12:21 pm

lol make me shake my head

12:22 pm

opponents wanna say that homosexuality makes a mockery out of marriage, but i would say the over-50% divorce rate -- which is among heterosexuals -- is where the mockery is.

12:22 pm

im just crazy that way...

12:22 pm

I hear brides tend to get a little crazy before the wedding, Lawyer - so I would need some protection! ;)

12:22 pm

especially Eva ;)

12:23 pm

now after a few years,it is nothing to us,everyone has the same thing,same certificates,same sposal benefits..we do not bat an eye.it is life.get on with it

12:23 pm

im just plain crazy, NB. nothing to do with the wedding. ;)

12:24 pm

Maryland's Attorney General upset many residents when he said MD woulod recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions

12:24 pm

they have to get over it as well

12:24 pm

actually, having found out that you did the activity in that video - WILLINGLY - I have to agree. Yes, you are nuts. Completely nuts. :)

12:24 pm

twice. ;)

12:25 pm

12:29 pm

ae + the French philosopher rene ***cartes

12:29 pm

12:29 pm

Marc - think of the guy with the amazing technicolour dreamcoat

12:29 pm

12:29 pm

good clue, NB

12:30 pm

in this area we have a topless law..if you want to set them free you can go right ahead

12:30 pm

thanks, Ruby, but alas not my doing - it came from earlier, but I can't remember who. With my upbringing, biblical stories aren't exactly my forte ;)

Thanks got to go check on the duck.

12:30 pm

I've just had my monkeys doing random letters!

12:31 pm

12:32 pm

12:33 pm

12:33 pm

12:33 pm

12:34 pm

12:34 pm

45 words and that's that for me. Gd night everybody

12:35 pm

In the army, it's don't ask, don't tell

12:35 pm

Mrs Crossy has the patience of a saint. ;)

12:35 pm

i once asked my wife if we could invite another lady over for a evening or 3,she told me that if i did that she would leave me for the other woman and they would both get alimony!

12:35 pm

gn, ruby

12:36 pm

maybe in Canada

12:36 pm

My brother used to ask if he could see another lady. My sister in law said why would she want to see a quadruplegic. David said ??I'm not?? She said you will be if you ask that again

12:38 pm

so,i do not ask anymore

12:38 pm

what's the other J besides cups of coffee?

12:38 pm

so, how does your brother get around?

12:38 pm

a mans name from the bible

12:38 pm

weird. wonder what it means as a generic noun.

12:39 pm

Hi everyone. I just finished with a desperate stab at the so8. I've never heard that word; but, it worked.

12:39 pm

it's a coat

12:39 pm

i think it is a old time article of female clothing

12:39 pm

because of the coat of many colors?

12:40 pm

It's a woman's coat

12:40 pm

so**(time) over the rainbow

12:40 pm

12:41 pm

12:41 pm

I'm off to nap.....zzzzzzzz

12:42 pm

pleasant dreams

12:42 pm

Hahaha, Lawyer!

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

But Crossy - from what you tell me it seems terribly cold where you live - who would go topless?!

12:43 pm

why yes, hurshy, there is!

12:43 pm

pl of w5

12:43 pm

12:46 pm

lol

12:46 pm

sounds like Korea, Eva!

12:47 pm

only fear is "shrinkage" lol

12:47 pm

only summer is only humid if you're lucky. If you're unlucky, then it's just pure monsoon.

12:47 pm

LOL! Nature's way of telling you you shouldn't go naked in the snow!!

12:47 pm

not fearless nb,i have a phobia of dentists

12:48 pm

here, it will be 100 degrees, and the second you step outside, youre sweaty and literally swimming through the air...

12:48 pm

do u have teeth, crossy?

12:49 pm

there are a few left lawyer lol

12:49 pm

my biggest fear these days is having my nipple ring yanked out. I have a real thing about that.

12:49 pm

but anyhow, I'm off to get some FOOD! bbl maybe :)

12:49 pm

ttfn, nb

12:49 pm

ouch..put a tear away ring on it then so all they get is 3/4 of it and not your nipple

12:52 pm

last dentist i was at,i needed 3 filling and a removal of a broken tooth..he shot me up,the removal was fine,the first filling was fine,as he was doing the second i told him the freezing was wearing off,he told me nonsense and kept going.as soon as he started cleaning out the third one ,he hit a nerve and i jumped and ripped the arm off of his dental chair

12:53 pm

there was a charge of 200 dollars on my bill for repair of the chair;(

12:54 pm

i told him the thing had to have been loose to begin with;/

12:55 pm

so i do not care for dentists

12:55 pm

not your fault, crossy. dentists + doctors should never tell you nonsense when you say you can feel something they think theyve numbed. some people need more than others.

12:55 pm

I'd have told him his chair wouldn't have been ruined if he had listened to you when you said the pain meds were wearing off and told him to chalk the repair costs up to stupidity on his part.

12:56 pm

Oh and hi.

12:56 pm

so now you have to dart me like a water buffalo and drag my carcass in there

12:56 pm

howdy ormal

12:56 pm

i understand completely

12:57 pm

dearest fiance takes a bag of ice with him to any doctor or dentist. he works himself into a frenzy and gets all lightheaded before even getting back to the office...

12:57 pm

well they do not actually dart me,they give me a bunch of pills and i sit in the waiting room and when i fall out of the chair,im ready

12:58 pm

crossy you're too much!

12:58 pm

your fiancee sounds like me

12:58 pm

lol ormal

1:00 pm

now you know why it is a good thing i am no longer an A type personality ormal lol

1:00 pm

i swear. when the day comes for us to have children, they will have to give him more drugs than me...

1:01 pm

i was fine with the birth,i cut the cord,helped the dr with the afterbirth when he was losing it lol,things like that do not bother me

1:01 pm

Yeah it's good, or you'd beat up the dentist before he/she got started.

1:01 pm

poor doc was tired that day,he birthed 6 others before ours

1:02 pm

if i can field dress a mo 5/12 i can help with a baby birthing

1:02 pm

lol

hello all, i am back and have ten left. and can not find them!

1:03 pm

howdy again red

1:03 pm

just ask, red

ahh the grid is so small, I need to ponder it a bit, but thank you, give me a minute!

1:07 pm

ive got a mere 18 left, but i think my brain is done. :)

yep, I just keep looking, I imagine all ten are fishes.

nine are fishes and the tenth is an obscure scottish word

LOL steve. I tried a bunch of cw combos this morning before I realized there were no C's!

1:10 pm

dunno about Scottish, but there is a word from Chaucer

Bruce ChAucer?

1:12 pm

1:12 pm

jeffy's younger brother

1:13 pm

sigh..you britts are so lucky.you got so see all those amazing dire straits concerts in the 80,s(crossy is listening to mark knopfler tunes) :))

hi all. i've only one left now, but am rapidly giving up hope of ever finding it.could anyone give me a tiny clue to w5/22? by the way crossy, i never saw any dire straits.

maybe Bruce was the drummer for Dire Straits

1:14 pm

and they got to see Jeffy & Bruce

hello Guernsey, I seem to not have that one. Its one of my ten fishes.

no don't - ive got it

1:15 pm

Dictionary.com says w/5/22 is not a word

i think it's just a random combination of letters beginnign with w

1:16 pm

ill take a clue for that please

1:17 pm

we+ what we are doing here minus a vowel.

we+ a sort of german-sounding group of consonants

1:17 pm

there is a Forensic Institute with that name

1:17 pm

and greetings all

1:18 pm

mm crossy hates un-word ty ((FM)

thank you! 9 left. Goota put out a net and troll about for the fishes.

1:18 pm

the Institute is at Duquesne

oh brilliant F M, although i don't think that would have helped my

1:18 pm

((crossy))

helped me.

1:18 pm

Hi gg :)

hi FM. How goes it?

1:19 pm

Just finished watering the garden as it is so dry, such a lovely warm day today!

Beautiful, although i haven't had much time to go outside

1:20 pm

Aparently it will be even warmer tomorrow poss into the 70s!

went to my reading group. we have read Falling Man by Don de Lillo, which we all found a difficult read

I just an excellent book by Jennifer Haigh, "The Condition"

Good (re the weather) i hope it last until the weekend.

good news FM!

haven't heard of that one, red. what's it about?

1:22 pm

Oh I love to read but have found over the last year or so I just don't have the time and wh4 I do (in bed) I am so tired I fall asleep.

1:22 pm

Hey red.

I really enjoyed it. It was about a family, and the girl is diagnosed with Turners SYndrome, a genetic syndrome that does not allow her body to mature....

i find that being in a group makes me finish books that i might not bother with otherwise and i often really enjoy them once i've made the effort

What was interesting was the way she described the family dynamics, I recognized many from my own family in there...

1:23 pm

"a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade..."

And, It has a very nice ending.

1:23 pm

book groups are a really good idea for many reasons.

Hello FM.

i must look it up, red, and perhaps our group would like it. it's good to have new recommendations.

1:23 pm

Hey EvaN, you're on the Dire Straits trail I see.

1:24 pm

lol

1:24 pm

well, i WAS on the Glee trail, but when Crossy mention dire straits, i decided to listen to this song. i have always loved it. :)

1:24 pm

romeo and julliette:)

I was surprised, did not think it would be that good, but it had many interesting parts to it, and owuld definitely be a good discussion book.

1:24 pm

normally we blame you, FM, but for this one, i will blame crossy. ;)

read that as "a lovestruck romeo sings a street suess serenade" Something like Horton Hears a Who; do you do you

1:25 pm

do not forget to listen to going ome and lady writer

1:25 pm

home

1:25 pm

Love their music.

1:25 pm

there is an amazing guitar section in lady writer

1:25 pm

1:26 pm

1:26 pm

wtg red

Hi Robbie, I just read a book called "The condition" by Jennifer Haigh, about a girl with turners syndrome, andmose so about her family. It was very interesting. The girl in the story also gets married.

hi robbie, we were talking about a book which has a character with turner's syndrome

1:27 pm

One of my fav's is The Sultans of Swing.

1:27 pm

nice! I

1:27 pm

ll have to check it out red!

1:28 pm

Oh and Brothers in Arms and Walk of Life.

our local library is not errr, very good so it was a delightful surprise. We do have a full collection of Zane Grays..:(

I like walk of life.

1:28 pm

i need to get to making a list of awesome love songs like that -- i wanna make a CD for the wedding that will play during the cocktail hour and maybe during dinner too...

just had a look at it on Amazon. it looks good.

1:29 pm

walk of life is excellent so is"private investigations"

1:29 pm

lol..my dad has a lot of old Zane Gray books

I've been doing a lot of reading lately!

our local library has closed for three months for refurbishment, but now they've found asbestos, so we are pessimistic about when it'll open again

Most people here are retirees, and the library I think is mostly just their donations!

what else have you enjoyed, red?

1:29 pm

im sorry that clip is out of sync a tad

OK, please can I have a small teeny clue for the 8.

1:30 pm

Oh what a shame gg.

1:30 pm

Getting rid of asbestos costa a lot!

I found a Hatian author, Edwidge Danticat (what a name!) she wrote 2 books that I liked "Breath Eyes memory" and "The farming of the Bones"

the 8 made me cross. it's a compound word - 2 4-letter words together

1:30 pm

ive been on jbs with asbestos gurnsey,count on a delay of 1 -3 months

Oh no Guernsey. We have a library because the local community college and town made a deal, the first floor is community stuff, the second two floors are college books.

Danticat sounds interesting. our swimming pool was closed for 2 years, cross

1:31 pm

1:31 pm

1:47 pm

i paid for school instead and a bachlor pad

1:47 pm

they work eva

1:48 pm

we used to use them to deflect the heat from the windows in the winter

1:48 pm

buy one for each floor vent

1:49 pm

the only vent in our bedroom is on the floor -- and that is also the only place for my long dresser. dear fiance wants me to scrap the dresser or have us buy a $300 portable AC unit, but im hoping this will work...

1:49 pm

those icy cold window cool the air 30% before it even gets into the room

1:49 pm

ah for cooling..i see

1:50 pm

it will help eva

1:50 pm

done! gotta love lickety

1:50 pm

hats off to harry!

1:50 pm

yes, we have the opposite problem, but if it works for heat, i think it should also work for cooling?

1:51 pm

hey, that's an idea eva..I'll try using one in our spare bedroom!

1:51 pm

it should help greatly

1:51 pm

as long as it is not just pushing the cold air under the bed lol

1:53 pm

congrats harry!

1:54 pm

2:05 pm

Evening all. May I have a clue for the SE 5/20 please?

2:06 pm

what you did with needle and thread

2:06 pm

crossy you must check them out. They make bacon gumballs, bacon ari freshener, bacon lip balm and lots of other stuff.

2:06 pm

Ohhhh and Debaser is my favourite album of theirs! They're one band I'd really love to see - only ever seen Mr Black Francis himself, onstage with Placebo for Where Is My Mind. Live in Paris!

2:06 pm

*air freshener*

2:06 pm

ive had their gumballs;)

2:06 pm

oh, you have, ok.

2:07 pm

but not the rest yet:)

2:07 pm

they are very much into the music + not so much about putting on a show. if youre not a fan, youd actually be bored. but the music is.... well, awesome. :)

2:07 pm

i did find bandages that look like strips of bacon;))

2:07 pm

they have a neat website, crossy

2:07 pm

they have a lunch box that looks like bacon too

2:08 pm

ill goggle it up ty peri

2:08 pm

google

2:08 pm

i have heard some rumours of a scratch and sniff bacon scented tie....

2:09 pm

I can imagine, Eva! Interesting though - most of the bands I've seen are quite performance-orientated (Radiohead is an exception)

2:09 pm

yw crossy

2:09 pm

"let the aroma of bacon be your rainbow throughout your work day!"

2:09 pm

I am done with the grid, just stopped in to say hi and to tell crossy about the website. bye for now

2:10 pm

:-)

2:11 pm

my favoritest band, in addition to being greay musicians, are amazing showmen. :)

2:12 pm

and who would that be, Eva? :)

2:12 pm

2 Skinnee J's

2:12 pm

no one has ever heard of them, but i heart them. :)

2:13 pm

you can go to www.grooveshark.com and search for them, if you wanna hear them for free. :)

2:13 pm

right now, im listening to "stockholm love"

2:14 pm

love to, but the PC's volume has packed up - we live in a flat where everything is broken, breaking or about to break ;)

2:14 pm

you need to get your ears on them sometime. methinks youd dig. :)

2:15 pm

I stuck 'em into google - the word 'nerdcore' came up ;) never heard that one before!

2:15 pm

heh, yes. theyre kinda like beastie boys meets 311 with some star wars and devo thrown in there. :)

2:16 pm

plus, theyre SUPER fashionable, and a really nice bunch of guys. im kinda psyched to count them as friends. :)

2:16 pm

sounds interesting to say the least ;) but I like all kinds of music, so when this gets fixed (eventuallyyy) I'll give them ago! That is, if the lack of cigarettes doesn't cause me to put my foot through the screen first :)

2:17 pm

whats NOT to love about a band that sports outfits like these? http://tinyurl.com/33ppz7f

2:19 pm

LOL Eva! Reminds me of the five minutes I spent in a band. There was a lot of emphasis on looks. We didn't have many songs ;)

2:19 pm

their songs span everything from politics to throwing a kickass party. :)

2:20 pm

well I do enjoy a kickass party...:)

2:21 pm

heh, send me a myspace request, and i think ive got some fun pictures up of me with the guys. ahhh....memories... alas, the band broke up several years ago -- but every coupla years they reunite for a mini-tour, and they did one this year, right around my bday!

2:22 pm

ah, do you get perks from being friends with the band? I'd want free tickets at least ;)

2:22 pm

i usually get on the list. ;)

2:23 pm

added you ;) my space is very bare at the moment - can't be bothered to put a whole lot in it!

2:23 pm

ahh, there you are!

2:24 pm

ooh crap! look at that time -- i need to escape the confines of work and head home!

2:24 pm

there I am! will put some more pictures up at some point, and decorate the page a bit.

2:24 pm

i do so love chatting with you that i forget all about my own freedom. ;)

2:25 pm

of course ;) well get home now, before they lock you in! and take care, m'dear :)

2:25 pm

2:48 pm

I said it was annoying. ;o)

2:49 pm

well I concur! ;)

2:51 pm

2:55 pm

Then bye All.

2:56 pm

2:58 pm

2:58 pm

hi NB :)

2:59 pm

how's it going today?

2:59 pm

1 more word and i can list;0

3:00 pm

been such a laaazy day today Pini - I went to work to find out I wasn't needed! So been slouching around the flat a bit :) how are you?

3:00 pm

I must be picking up your slack, NB...at work now, but on lunch break. Wish I were slacking at home instead!

3:01 pm

Crossy - intrigued by earlier, I weighed myself. You were more or less spot on! 52kg.

3:01 pm

;)

3:01 pm

hiya crossy

3:01 pm

52kg = ??lbs?

3:01 pm

Lol Pini - sorry to hear about the workload! I can't help but feel guilty, since the most productive thing I've done today is play with the cat...

3:01 pm

can tell just by yer pic

3:01 pm

<-- wishes USA used the metric system!

3:01 pm

52x2.2 =kg

3:01 pm

pounds

3:02 pm

egads! You're teeny tiny, NB!

3:02 pm

not to worry you will catch up pini;)

3:02 pm

I can only hope, crossy!

3:02 pm

as it hit us in 1978,i tend to used a bastardized mixture of both

3:03 pm

for example,for me,fish will always be in pounds and beer will forever be in pints;0

3:03 pm

I would much rather work in 10's across the board than try to remember the intricacies of all of our difference measurements...

3:03 pm

not so much Pini - I'm pretty damn short, which is a lot to do with it ;) and I used to be worse - I did some modelling for a Korean jewellery company two summers ago, and I look too thin (to me) in those pictures. Horrible!

3:04 pm

hi all again i am back did you miss me?

3:04 pm

hi jmc ;)

3:04 pm

two of the important food categories, eh, crossy?

3:04 pm

but of course jmc

3:04 pm

hi, Jmc! 'course we missed you :)

3:04 pm

NB, I think my toes weigh as much as you! LOL

3:04 pm

my thigh weighs as much as nb lol

3:05 pm

4 Koda's = NB!

3:05 pm

LOL. Well as I say, it was worse. The jewellery ad is funny - the necklace was the heaviest thing in it ;)

3:06 pm

lol when they put the necklace on they probably had to give you a back brace or a counter weight lol

3:06 pm

(PS: always miss ya, jmc!)

3:06 pm

(it was worse because it was shirtless. embarrassiiiing.)

3:06 pm

2.5 nb=1 jmcnrick

3:06 pm

LOL Crossy. I was skinny but I still had bones! :D

3:07 pm

you're silly, jmc!

3:07 pm

ooh pini i have some work in portland now for the thursday or friday that i come in august

3:07 pm

yeah! jmc!

3:07 pm

we use 2.2 cause the american system differed a tad from ours

3:07 pm

silly but fat

3:08 pm

especially in the gallon

3:08 pm

It's mostly just ethnicity I think - compared to the average American, Koreans are just built smaller

3:08 pm

pretty much, nb

3:10 pm

jmc...are you really getting a car when you come over?

3:11 pm

but this all came up from Crossy saying he didn't think I'd win a fight ;) hm...snowball fight maybe.

3:11 pm

you know...I'll have mind and can drive (a portion of what you'd save in rental could go toward gas, if you like)

3:11 pm

pillow fight, NB? * giggle *

3:11 pm

mind = mine

3:12 pm

all this came from swedish sauna neeked snowbank diving nb lol

3:12 pm

ROFL

3:12 pm

that was the plan pini -- i like to have mobility

3:12 pm

LOL Pini - is that a threat? ;)

3:13 pm

I'd probably lose, NB! LOL

3:13 pm

well i would need to go to the Lewis and Clark law school and possibly meet with a shrink friend for dinner or drinks

3:13 pm

gotcha, jmc...

3:13 pm

and i was toying with the idea of a mad dash to Montana to find lbd

3:13 pm

lol Crossy - all the nudity, snow, shrinkage and nipple rings came after ;)

3:14 pm

We'd talked about that, too, jmc...going over to kidnap her!

3:14 pm

*shocked look*

3:15 pm

about the kidnapping or the nipple ring??? * snicker *

3:16 pm

personally I find Crossy diving naked into the snow is more shocking than one teeny little nipple ring.

3:16 pm

ROFL

3:17 pm

oe6?

3:17 pm

no i think the kidnapping is a great idea!

3:17 pm

can we pull it off?

3:17 pm

Not sure...shall we look into it??? (under the radar, of course)

3:19 pm

I'll remember to bring my GPS!

3:19 pm

absolutely! I really don't mind driving long distances

3:20 pm

me either, jmc!!! (can I help drive, too?)

3:20 pm

I have an excellent driving record! :)

3:20 pm

you'd have to go to the rental car place with me but sure!

3:20 pm

No prob!

3:21 pm

do we have any idea what city she might live in?

3:21 pm

now does it make more sense to pick up stiddie flosey and jill and drive over to lbd's or swing by lbd's and drag her back with us to Olympia?

3:21 pm

I'm going to take a quick look, jmc!

3:21 pm

reminds me i have to call and see why i am on a national do not rent list for enterprise

3:22 pm

we could get a really big car

3:23 pm

could always drive mine...it seats 5

3:23 pm

3:23 pm

bbs got to go interview a airman

3:37 pm

Thanks Hawk for the body swelling clue. Got all 4 immediately.

3:38 pm

4:08 pm

Well, I'm glald that he had you to care for him.

4:08 pm

4:29 pm

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

rushing, as usual. have to get on the treadmill for half an hour, then make and eat dinner and then get to the board of ed meeting at 7. just to let them see me. don't want them to forget me.

4:30 pm

no th** should not forget you!!

4:30 pm

*stealth hungs doren and disappears for real*

4:31 pm

*backpedals...* jmc too? how are you?

4:31 pm

4:31 pm

i am written out of the budget, but just want them to keep me in mind if any $$ come their way. hugging stid back. and enjoying my firewords and leaving... more time tomorrow, i hope

4:31 pm

hi stiddie i wanted you to konw that pini and I are plotting to kidnap lbd on our excursion

4:32 pm

ooooh! that would be EXCELLENT!!! *happy mama look*

4:32 pm

but we have not decided if we should kidnap her on the way to your place, or grab all of y'all and go see her

4:32 pm

oh no doren! they can't not keep you! *sad mama look*

4:32 pm

bye dorens -- give them hell!

4:32 pm

I can't afford to go to see her... I will be preparing for student teaching, unfortunately.

4:33 pm

BUT. I bet a mountain-style babble meet ALSO would be great fun!

4:33 pm

i was thinking a day trip

4:34 pm

LBD lives a lot further away than a single day from me.

4:34 pm

<== originally from Texas where going 400 miles is a day trip

4:34 pm

she's on the other side of the BIG mountains!

4:34 pm

(400 miles one way)

4:35 pm

do you konw where in Montana she lives?

4:35 pm

I think of Southern Oregon as a two-day trip minimum.... 8-9 hours each way.

4:35 pm

and that's closer than LBD

4:35 pm

foothills, I think. Helena?

4:36 pm

I did a day trip to Asheville and that is 8-10 hours

4:36 pm

each way

4:36 pm

Helena? that is a hop skip and a jump (really high jump!)

4:37 pm

Mother would never be able to do a long haul like that. And I won't have that kind of time. But that is OK if you and pini want to go!

4:37 pm

I would be fine!

4:38 pm

okay, the class is reconvening. Must head out. (((jmc))) I'll be online later this week, probably see you "around." *poof*

4:40 pm

pini and I will put our heads together

pl possessive of the jo6 nickname

7:46 pm

When I saw this grid today,I thought "Yi 5/16! What a small grid!"So here's a story of clues to go with the grid. It's that time of year again wh 4/9 students in NY in grades 3-5 have to take the ELA & Math tests. Everyone at work is on ed4/7 this week because the students in grade 3-6 are taking the state ELA tests which they have been prepping for all year.Students are on the ed 5/16 of their seats as well. Th 4/7 are nervous about the test.Since September th4/7 have been pe4/5 up school doing test prep. Th 4/5 th 4/7 stay after school and do more test prep. Th4/7 have been practicing the sa 4/5 skills over and over again Test strategies have been et 4/6ed in their brains. I hope that so 4/5 of these clues helped you find more words.I will be here off and on to help out with clues.

7:46 pm

formal usage of the jo4

7:46 pm

i'm good minver, i have completed my second day as a census "enumerator" trainee!

7:46 pm

7:47 pm

7:47 pm

* keeps head under rock *

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

7:49 pm

oe words?

7:49 pm

yes, 2

ty

7:49 pm

great story, Min - and I understand it completely - we have state tests this week, too (NJASK) - one big complication here - we had a terrible tragedy over the weekend, one of our best and beloved teachers died suddenly and the kids and staff are deeply affected, but the test goes on.....

7:49 pm

oe 6/24 is o plus ed 5/14 word harpjane and plural it.

7:49 pm

oh my, jbv

7:50 pm

i'm sorry to hear that, JBV.

7:50 pm

worse than that, Pini, it was a suicide - so incomprehensible and tragic

my heat is cranking up! supposed to be in forties tonight

7:50 pm

OMG!

7:50 pm

Oh how terrible! Unfortunately the state won't take that into account when they do school report cards.

7:50 pm

very sorry to hear the teacher was having that many problems ... sad

7:51 pm

yes, Min - you got it! people are crying and falling apart, but the test must go on

7:51 pm

how tragic for the family and the community.

7:51 pm

we have a crisis counseling team in place - god bless those people - they were so wonderful

how are you ?

7:52 pm

no doubt, jbv...it takes special people to be able to do that

7:52 pm

I hope that she was not too pressured about having her kids do well on the test. Must be more to it than that.I hope your school provides counseling for them

7:52 pm

when i lived in AZ the counseling team was very busy between kids and adults committing suicide and other unnecessary deaths.

7:52 pm

thanks for asking, TO, I loved her too - she will be greatly missed, but I am holding it together, and learning how different it is to grieve for a suicide - so many things are different

i only have one g word, the guy

7:53 pm

a lot of unanswerable questions, JBV.

7:53 pm

(whispers fyrwrx)

make that 2 -

7:53 pm

Last week we had a flood in three classes. Everyone was saying thank God it didn't happen during the ELA

7:53 pm

one thing is they do not want to give it too much "play" - publicity, etc., to prevent what they call "contagion" (god help us), so people are kind of discouraged about talking about it which is difficult

ge4/6 and 4/6

well esp with teens it is very touchy

7:54 pm

one ge is ge4.7 what kids get instead of a high school diploma

7:55 pm

ge4/7:g + more than one talking horse 72 Temple Owl

7:55 pm

i meant discouraged from talking about it

ty. what does the 8 begin with?

7:55 pm

Other ge4/7 is ge + Evano**t (babbler) 72 Temple Owl

7:55 pm

7:56 pm

compound word (portion + time)

7:57 pm

7:57 pm

8:18 pm

Hi Rolo - its a mom echo (sort of)

8:18 pm

oh Weiik, I'm sorry.

8:18 pm

Stidmama, read my profile cartoon.Think it's amusing

8:19 pm

I can actually see that now Min with my new monitor - live that in true life with my kids

8:20 pm

TO , have you finished?

8:20 pm

seems no one is hiring anyone over 55 anymore mom, not to be sorry, just encourge employers to hire again

8:20 pm

Oh boy, only 3 left

8:21 pm

I hope you find work soon.

8:21 pm

Hi Fuzzybunny, good to see you again

8:21 pm

I know the tax man wishes the same

8:21 pm

Sorry to hear of your troubles weiik - I know that - some of the best employees to hire are over 55 - they car a whole lot.

8:22 pm

Min, that is only too true. Our kids have a much streamlined test this year (since the old state superintendent was booted out)... but it's still high stakes and many schools are still spending a lot of time prepping the kids and taking practice tests over more productive instructional activities.

8:22 pm

weiik, check out businesses that are supported by aarp.

8:22 pm

go fuzzy go

8:22 pm

last 3 jobs I've had were all outsourced to asia

8:22 pm

hi fuzzy

8:22 pm

I'm working hard

8:22 pm

what are your skill, weiik

8:22 pm

thanks ibd, haven't thought about that, I'm now trying gov't(fed/state)

8:23 pm

we are coast to coast stid and didnt realize we are on the same regime (dont what else to call it)

8:23 pm

ibd, i'm a programmer / analyst with mainframe shops

done, state/banks/manufactures/defense

8:24 pm

where are you weiik

8:24 pm

Hello fuzzybunny! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

8:24 pm

hmmm, let me think of some places to check out, weiik. i'm sure there's someone looking for you!

8:24 pm

where abouts do you live Weiik

8:24 pm

are you on linkedin, weiik?

8:24 pm

thxks much ibd, mom, I'm in philly-where the steak sandwiches are

8:24 pm

On top of the state tests,the district wants them to also take a field test: is a combination of ELA & math

8:24 pm

stid, i've not looked there yet

8:25 pm

and very good sanwiches they are

8:25 pm

th** .... oops

8:25 pm

Im just north of you in NH - you may need to move a bit - may be jobs up here.

8:25 pm

weiik, do you have a masters or higher?

8:26 pm

philly - the airport I couldnt get to a couple months ago - lucky you getting snowed in

8:26 pm

Mom, I am just to your east in Maine

8:26 pm

linkedin seems to have a lot of potential for job searchers... and it's free (that's the only reason I can afford an account)

8:26 pm

stid, i've just googled linkedin, mom, i've looked as far south as NC and up to NY, idb, I do not have a masters, just 36 yrs exp

8:26 pm

Where in New Hampshire Momneedshelp?I grew up in Vermont, but I went to high school in Hanover, NH.

8:26 pm

most people are looking for mistresses not masters

8:26 pm

anyway, that's about the best I can think of from here.

8:27 pm

LOL rururocks

8:27 pm

dam*, no wonder i can't get a job! i want to be the master!

8:27 pm

mom, the snow was brutal here

8:28 pm

I am in the small town of Weare (no comment you folks on where?) just west of Concord. I work in Concord - 15 miles away.

8:28 pm

weiik, check out some of the community colleges. they often will take the years of experience towards education. especially in the Information management area

8:29 pm

my company pays small money but will look into IT dept to see if any openings. Good company but too small to pay the big bucks

8:29 pm

brb, need more tea

8:29 pm

well off to job search again, thanks all for advice, ibd, r u refering to getting a masters, do u think that would make a difference]

8:29 pm

I am in Carrabassett Valley, home of Sugarloaf. We are forecasted to get 6 to 12 inches of snow by tomorrow afternoon!

8:29 pm

a masters would help, but with 36 years of experience that may also get you in the door.

8:29 pm

((weiik)) sending good thoughts your way

8:30 pm

speaking of snow - expecting 10 inches up north tonight - go figure - may get a few flakes here

8:30 pm

good luck weiik, come back again soon.

8:30 pm

ibd, i'm desperate enough that i've even doing carpentry jobs to make some money

8:30 pm

no no no, no more snow talk

8:30 pm

good luck weiik

8:30 pm

8:54 pm

bye bye Sandyloo

8:54 pm

have fun, sandy

8:55 pm

btw: do we have any bankers here? I have an ELOC question...

8:55 pm

I am not Pini, sorry

8:56 pm

it's ok...i can wait for the bank rep

8:56 pm

what is ELOC?

8:56 pm

equity line of credit

8:56 pm

storms, not firewords, i got those earlier today.

8:56 pm

congrats on fireworks LBD

8:56 pm

congrats, lbd...hope the storm passes soon

8:56 pm

ah, I see now

8:57 pm

I'm working on consolidating a loan into my ELOC to get the better interest rate and the ability to claim the interest on my taxes...

8:58 pm

that is a good idea, we did that when we had to purchase a car

8:58 pm

that's the loan I'm consolidating :)

8:58 pm

it is great to have the tax deduction

8:58 pm

no kidding!

8:59 pm

If I knew I cold do it when I bought the darn thing, I would have been able to claim at least 4 months of interest on this past tax return...

8:59 pm

cold = could

8:59 pm

we took a car note at first and then got the equity line and the best part of it was there was not charge for the equity line

9:00 pm

and paid the car note off

9:00 pm

and the interest rate was better than the car note

9:00 pm

that's what I'm working on, Mom, but they're also talking about converting it all into an equity loan instead of line of credit...was hoping to find out the difference (without asking the banker)

9:00 pm

my ELOC rate is definitely better than the car note

9:01 pm

not being a banker mind you .... but I think if you are using the equity in your home they would be one in the same. Some call them a loan and some call them a line of credit

9:02 pm

we took x dollars as equity on the house paid off the car note and still have money left in the equity line

9:02 pm

They mentioned the ELOC is like a revolving credit account; whereas the loan is static - has to do with the way the interest accrues?

9:03 pm

hmm didn't realize that

9:03 pm

I took a dip on the ELOC to make the cash downpayment on the car, put the balance on a car note, but now want to roll it all to the ELOC

9:03 pm

either way the interest deduction is worth it

9:03 pm

definitely!!!

9:05 pm

I have enjoyed our chat Pini, but it is my bed time. Take care and thank you so much for the clues. {{Hugs}}

9:05 pm

oh hi hi hi angel

10:25 pm

if you look below the tile stats you will see a link for lickety

10:26 pm

ha5 = word starts with ha and has 5 letters

10:26 pm

lickety creates a list giving all the first two letters and points for all the words in the grid

10:27 pm

so you will find in the list ha5/22 which means a word with 5 letter first two ha and the total points 22

10:27 pm

excellent-thx jmc

* escorting self to PB *

It is a very typical Greek Family in Preston in the 1940s

I used to live in that area and it is so wonderful

11:31 pm

I've thought about looking into learning how to tat...

I believe this is all crocheted or is that what you call tatting?

11:33 pm

...wondering if I could find so4one locally who does it; I've seen so4 of the written instructions and could get lost within the first 3 words!

11:33 pm

crotching is different from tatting...

Ok. I think that is the same

OPPS not the same

11:34 pm

I crotchet (and actually have done 1 doilie)...mostly baby blankets...

need to learn to type

11:35 pm

so much for any spelling skills I might have had! :)

Snap mine is worse

11:36 pm

* giggle *

11:36 pm

if so, I'm right behind you!

I just forget to think

damn it I have 2 kilos of chicken to make into food AND try and get it into the freezer

11:37 pm

I think my fingers just run wild without waiting for my brain!

11:37 pm

save so4 for me!!! :)

Well someone in the hosue thought it was a brillant idea to get two weeks worth of food not thinking about how we would freeze it

11:38 pm

uh whoops

told you they are hopeless

11:39 pm

* snicker *

His response ''Eat faster'' Ok you figure that one out

11:39 pm

ROFL!

We are looking at getting a bigger fridge

11:40 pm

I don't use mine much anymore since the kids moved out...

But they are so expensive (even at trade price) and the don't ahve mega freezer capacity

11:42 pm

I'd send mine, but the shipping is probably more expensive than the unit itself.

true

11:42 pm

credit for the brilliant idea tho, right? * giggle *
