2:51 am

hi sprite! just got half and ready to get dressed. How is your daughter? And you? Enjoying this glorious weather?

2:51 am

lol it is raining here, on Queen's Day.

2:52 am

my daughter is pretty ok, still sneezy and all, but feeling rather chipper. I am enjoying the fact I can breathe more freely today!

2:52 am

We need rain and they predicted it for the weekend. But it is beautiful and, to the extent that my strength will allow, I've worked in the garden a little every day and it looks gorgeous

2:53 am

so rewarding, isn't it?

2:53 am

I cheated and put annuals in the holes in the perennial beds. It does the job and is much easier

2:53 am

and the tomatoes and radishes are in!

2:54 am

no cheating, silly. It is lovely and that is what counts.

2:54 am

cool, I spot various babblets!

2:54 am

I bought tiny salmon-colored geraniums to put in a border with a similarly-colored impatiens and they look lovely

2:55 am

oh that is tasteful. I like things like that.

2:55 am

better get dressed now; see you in a little while

2:55 am

bye rubyfoo

2:56 am

very limited color scheme. The house is salmon (pale) with burgundy shutters and the garden has no orage,or yellow, just shades of pink, rose, red, salmon, purple , blue and a little white for punctuation.

2:56 am

sounds wonderful

good morning diann

good morning all

2:59 am

morning sandra

3:04 am

over halfway without finding a single biggie, I am in my true form again :)

3:20 am

Good morning all, day 2 of new kitchen has started!

3:20 am

hi caitlyn, glad it is moving on

3:21 am

Hi sprite It seems to be moving quite quickly thankfully

3:22 am

am really glad for you, I know how stressy things like this can be! But you will love being in your new kitchen once it is do4

3:24 am

I am lucky to ha4/8 found two really nice fitters who are taking the stress away.How are you today?

3:24 am

Hello. Good luck Caitlyn, hope it moves along swiftly - but how nice it will be to have a brand spanking new kitchen

3:25 am

I can breathe more easily today, and without breaking into coughing all the time too, so I am much better, thanks :)

3:25 am

hi lyn *hugs*

3:25 am

Hi lyn yes it will be great, I hated my old one

3:26 am

That's good news Sprite - but don't overdo it will you

3:26 am

If I disappear it will be because they are doing the wiring and may cut the power off lol

3:26 am

no lyn, I will stay put, promise. Even my kids yell at me when I try to do something, grin. I have promised: first all energy into getting all better and then I will start doing chores again.

3:27 am

lol, caitlyn may go *poof*...

3:27 am

sprite the chores will always be there your health is more important

3:28 am

am usually very stubborn and want to keep busy. But I wil admit I don't have the energy atm. Will take care of myself for a change!

3:31 am

Just been reading on FB about poor Ata

3:31 am

what's with Ata??? Please tell me, I don't do FB.

3:31 am

What has happened to Ata? (don't do FB)

3:32 am

She is away on holiday in the Scilly Isles and has twisted her leg she is now in plaster

3:33 am

oh darn! And she needed that holiday so much. What a disappointment for her!

3:33 am

She is going to be very crabby about that!

3:33 am

I know but she sounds quite bright

3:33 am

Ata can make the best of bad situations. Still, it sucks.

3:35 am

OK 40 left, no 8s and only 3 7s! BBS going to get my cornish pasties ready (I think they are cornish - meat and veg)

3:36 am

Lovely lyn I really like them, see you later

3:36 am

sounds good, and good going on the grid. I think the biggies are sneaky, I have 4 x 7 and still no 8, with 28 left.

3:38 am

Good morning, all. I can hint at the 8s if you want, sprite, but they're normal words.

3:38 am

Morning Haz

3:38 am

morning Haz, thanks, but I love to blunder along. Great to know they are normal words though.

3:39 am

And good evening, lyn.

3:39 am

No problem, sprite.

3:43 am

how's Spangle todday? Upgoing line continuing?

3:43 am

Yes, I'm beginning to see improvement, so that's good.

3:44 am

am glad

3:45 am

ah great, I found one, Haz. The V8.

3:46 am

Yes, keep an eye out for those Italians...

3:47 am

indeed, a bloody system

3:48 am

ah and the other one. Knowing they are normal words really helps. Thanks.

3:49 am

You're welcome. Use both 8s in a sentence and you'd have fast feud rather than fast food.

3:50 am

:-D

3:52 am

I went *poof* but back again now

3:52 am

wb caitlyn

3:53 am

Hello, caitlyn. I hadn't heard about Ata's accident. And congratulations on the new kitchen, although the dust from building always seems to get throughout the rest of the house, doesn't it?

3:56 am

I only have a very small house so my sitting? /dining room is full of old kitchen things, freezer, fridge new work units ,last night I managed to find the microwave to do us a jacket potatoe for supper, never mind it will be worth it.

i have the v8 - what does the other 8 start with?

3:56 am

It will.

3:57 am

My spelling and grammer today are rubbish!!

3:57 am

ex8 is the other.

3:58 am

caitlyn, you didn't happen to watch the series about John Lewis? They featured a lady who was spending £40,000 on her new kitchen. My jaw nearly hit the ground.

3:58 am

having your kitchen being build and being able to type is not rubbish at all

ty haz...looking

Thank you for the 'fast feud' clue for the 8s, Haz, very enjoyable to work with :)

3:58 am

You're welcome, City, glad it worked for you.

ty - found it!

3:59 am

Well done, forward!

3:59 am

No I didnt see that Haz I do not know how they can justify that sort of spending though.Thanks sprite

4:00 am

It was pretty spectacular when it was finished, but like you, I couldn't spend that amount of money on one room.

4:00 am

I'd rather have a cook :)

4:00 am

LOL sprite

4:01 am

Yes,and if FM would lend you her cleaner, you'd be well set up.

4:02 am

aow wouldn't that be loverly...

4:03 am

fireflies. Very enjoyable grid! Bye all, have fun. Caitlyn, best of luck with the kitchen.

4:03 am

Congratulations, sprite. Have a good day.

4:04 am

Congrats sprite!! Bye for now, and dont forget to rest

4:13 am

I just read the chog. Poor Ata. congrats sprite, that was quick!

4:13 am

hi cailyn and haz!!

4:13 am

Hello, ruby.

4:14 am

what beautiful weather. Do you gals have rain yet? We need it and when you get it we usually get it 2 or 3 days later

4:14 am

We had very heavy rain yesterday and the day before. Not constant, but heavy bursts.

4:15 am

I've got the garden mostly in; handyman/gardener is here now and transplanted several small decorative Japanese quince, babies of the "mother" plant

4:15 am

Hi ruby, we are having heavy rain at the moment but we did need it.

4:15 am

and he made berms around the tomatoes.

4:16 am

Should heavy rains be put on di**s?

4:16 am

radishes and scabiosa I put in yesterday and some nasturtium seeds. Still to go, if I have the strength, are hollyhocks. My husband found seeds for doubles

4:17 am

It depends on their body mass index, BabbleRabble.

4:17 am

I havent touched the garden yet this year must do so soon though

4:17 am

I used to have magnificent hollyhocks but they disappeared along with many of the other "perennials" like digitalis and lupins

4:17 am

all the peonies are stakes and the roses fed.

4:17 am

Hi BR

4:17 am

staked*

4:18 am

hello

4:18 am

hi BR

4:19 am

The peonies are climbers?

4:23 am

Hello, ruby. What are the stakes for?

4:23 am

I think she has gone out the garden

4:23 am

I'm guessing to help hold up the heavy heads when they bloom.

I always think stakes are a good idea for heavy bloomers. And hi everyone.

4:24 am

Hello, Sally.

4:25 am

Hi Sally LOL

4:25 am

Heavy bloomers raises up all sorts of pictures....

4:25 am

never connected stakes with underwear

Makes it difficult to walk, BR

4:26 am

I bet Queen Victoria used them all the time

4:27 am

Blow the di4/5 - weight down your bloomers and walk the blubber off.

lol Haz

4:27 am

I need to get to the patent office....

4:27 am

LOL

I'm sure they already exist, Haz. You're too late, but they would look fetching with the tin foil hat.

4:29 am

I wanted to complain, I never recieved my order of the tin foil hat, I demand my money back!

4:29 am

Yes, you'll be able to spot me in the home for the bewildered. I'll be the one with the tin foil hat lumbering about in weighted drawers telling everyone that they too can have a lighter life.

4:30 am

I have a mental image of that situation Haz and you will still be blaming FM

4:31 am

Absolutely. No doubt about it.

4:32 am

I wonder if bloomers would have helped Icarus?

4:34 am

I could be wrong, but I don't think men wear bloomers. He could have set himself up for mockery.

4:35 am

A bit of helium in the bloomers .... who knows?

4:35 am

LOL

4:35 am

As long as he didn't inhale any.

4:36 am

A squeaky-voiced man in bloomers proclaiming 'To infinity' wouldn't fill spectators with hope of success.

4:37 am

I suppose it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Icarus was a transvestite?

4:37 am

They all wore dresses at that time, didn't they?

4:38 am

So, it would be hard to tell, unless he was particularly heavy-handed with the make-up.

4:39 am

Did ruby know what she was starting when she wrote about staking her peonies?

She seems to have vanished for the moment.

4:40 am

transvestite Look up transvestite at Dictionary.com "person with a strong desire to dress in clothing of the opposite sex," 1922, from Ger. Transvestit (1910), coined from L. trans- "across" + vestire "to dress, to clothe" (see wear). Cf. also travesty, which is the same word, older, and passed through French and Italian. Shortened form trannie first recorded 1983 (in 1960s this was used as a slang shortening of transistor radio). Transvestism is first attested 1928.

4:40 am

She's probably phoning International Rescue.

4:41 am

1928? We can discount Icarus.

The abbreviation trannie having two meanings could be confusing. I mean, I used to hold my trannie to my ear under the bedclothes.

4:41 am

I was rather surprised the world is relatively new.

4:42 am

Morning all! What a wonderful discussion to wake up to!

4:42 am

word, that is

4:42 am

Good morning, Jayk.

4:42 am

I'm surprised as well, BR.

4:42 am

Bit of an odd grid

Good morning Jayk. Haz wants to buy some weighted bloomers. Can you help?

4:43 am

I still talk about 'the wireless'.

4:43 am

The thirst for knowledge never stops at Babble

4:43 am

widely available here in Atlanta

4:43 am

Yes, and if we don't know it, we make it up.

4:43 am

My husband still says "icebox"

4:44 am

actually Haz, you CAN keep referring to the wireless

4:45 am

Then I will.

4:45 am

Meantime, I must take a break. Back shortly....

4:45 am

I have never seen ice box. Are there more divisions that simply heavyweights?

Bye for now Haz

4:46 am

BR: ???

4:46 am

be well, Haz

4:46 am

yes?

4:47 am

didn't understand your last utterance

4:48 am

icebox to ice sparring

4:48 am

ice sparring? Maybe I got up too early

4:49 am

ice facing off in a fisticuffs match

4:49 am

Aha!

4:50 am

My God! There are 18 Vs!!

4:50 am

I can confirm all 18 do start with v

4:51 am

don't gloat!

4:52 am

This is another grid in which the words are much easier to find after you have found them.

4:53 am

I'll bear that in mind

5:25 am

Back. Hello BabRab & Jayk

5:25 am

Morning Lynxxx

5:31 am

Yay - fresh eyes do help, got an 8

6:01 am

FW!!

6:07 am

Good morning ... enough t tiles for you?

6:12 am

I am about to plant carrot seeds in tubs. Showery yesterday and today but heavy rain forecast next two days. Should I wait? Please

Can you protect them a little if necessary Patxxx?

6:15 am

Hi Sally-catlover - How best to cover pots? Next to fields and it can be quite windy.

I was thinking if you had a sheet of glass you could put over or something?

Otherwise if you actually believe the forecasts, can you put the pots in some more sheltered place for a few days until they are settled?

6:17 am

Can't use glass got nosy dogs and cats but I'll root through stuff and see what I can come up with. Thanks Sally-c

Well, a brick on top might help (of the glass, not the dog or cat!). But I would only put it on if it really starts to rain heavily.

6:22 am

Sally-c Unable to move pots. I rarely believe our forecasts but if I am depending on it then it will be the only time they've been right in a fair while. I can't handle heavy at all. Thinking of tying plastic round tubs and punching holes in for air. Thanks for giving me ideas..

If it's only for a few hours, just a sheet of plywood or something might help to stop the seeds being washed out. Or an umbrella? :-)

6:30 am

Sally-c It's too windy for brollies here and the last time one blew away the cows in the next field played footie with it. Off to shops so will see what I can cadge. By the time I've sorted it out it will be Monday and hopefully drier! I prefer Babble to gardening but people nag.

6:31 am

Thanks vm Sally-c.

np. Have fireworks now so will toodle off. See you again. Good luck with the carrots.

6:51 am

hello everyone

6:52 am

phantom----evident

6:52 am

good morning annie, and all my babble friends!

6:52 am

nice one, annie!!!!

6:52 am

hi Annie & Trif

6:52 am

Hi Trif!...that ex8 is eluding me

6:52 am

Hi lynxxxie

6:52 am

Good Morning Everyone

6:53 am

Hi Momneeds

6:53 am

that ex8 would make things go quickly & easily

6:53 am

mom, that border garden is GAWGEOUS! is that your doing?

6:53 am

hi Momneeds

6:53 am

my husband is a big gardener - thanks we enjoy our gardens. Will have to load more pictures

6:54 am

omg, lynxxx --- I thought you were ASKING for a clue...I am truly, truly, the definition of "clueless" sometimes!

6:55 am

it's extra props to you all, mom, as new hampshire is a tricky zone to garden in

6:55 am

thanks lyn xxx

6:55 am

some years are great - others not so

6:56 am

morning all! top row done.

6:56 am

hi Dan

6:56 am

hello dan

6:56 am

Hi Dan

6:56 am

oh, dan, you big show off! LOL

6:57 am

I like to celebrate small accomplishments :-)

6:57 am

ITA mom - I didn't get so much as one red tomato last year. was the worst year I can remember

6:58 am

we had hundreds but got hit with the blight and had to bag it all and throw it all away. Couldnt even compost.

6:58 am

I was only able to make one pot of sauce before they all turned bad

6:59 am

what causes blight, is it weather?

6:59 am

no - some disease that hit the tomatoes hard last year

7:00 am

it didnt bother our potato plants but I heard other people talk about killing those as well.

7:01 am

we had a real wet summer last year - I wonder if it had something to do with that - but we have had wet weather before and this was the first time the crop was killed

7:01 am

maybe it is like the irish potato blight? Tomatos are related to potatos aren't they?

7:02 am

the year before it was so wet, our turnips rotted in the ground but the tomatoes flourished - who knows!

7:02 am

it may be

7:04 am

seems 'late' blight is a type of fungi or protist (good Babble word) and it is the Irish famine thing - and does effect both tomatos and potatos (TY Google)

7:06 am

http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/cropprot/late blighthg.htm

7:06 am

- this might provide you with some answers

7:07 am

google is amazing

7:08 am

It's all amazing really, we have been really lucky to live through this 'age' (in my opinion anyway)

7:09 am

anyone can clue the bottom E?

7:10 am

When I started my working career, I used a hand cranked adding machine in a bank.

7:10 am

hello all, I remember using carbon paper when typing to make extra copies :)

7:10 am

think it is et5.12 Dan

7:11 am

I have a 5/12 from the center row E

7:11 am

thanks lynxxx - just read that article and it is exactly what we had. Good information to have before we start again this year.

7:12 am

what about a jealous en6.30 Dan?

7:12 am

left row E, unfortunately

7:12 am

I remember having one computer in an office of 50 people. Our copy machine was an old amonia based ozalid (sp?) machine

7:12 am

have that one lynx, but not from bottom e, ty tho

7:12 am

or rather, right row

7:12 am

<-- mixed dominions strikes again

7:13 am

or en6.21 which rhymes with bright

the bottom E is a curly edged plant, used in salads. En and fall gracefully into water.

7:13 am

so it is, ty red

7:13 am

yay red thanks! NBT

7:13 am

morning Red

7:14 am

MY KID DRIVES ME MENTAL!WHY DO THEY WAIT TILL THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND TO GET ORGINIZED?!GRRR...cough, good morning everyone;)

7:20 am

Hi Crossy - deep breath - got to watch that blood pressure

7:21 am

hi Cross. You really shouldn't stress about him. He wants to be independent - let him. He'll soon figure out it is better getting his own act together

7:21 am

mornin babblers!

7:21 am

Ahhh but lynxxx, sometimes they never do lol

7:21 am

hi Eva

7:21 am

Hi Eva

7:22 am

he is out the door! yaaaa!

7:22 am

and only 20 minutes late too

7:22 am

god help us!!!

7:22 am

Yeah but they will only end up resenting you and pushing you further away if you try to control too much

7:23 am

god 8:22 am and i need a drink,or hard core drugs

7:23 am

that is true lynxx,if i push he gets the growlies

7:23 am

Crossy my daughter used to lay things beside my purse to sign so I would see them in the morning when I was in a rush to get out the door, then I would be fuming when I got to work lol

7:24 am

True lynxxxx

7:24 am

my son leaves forms to sign in his back pack untill they are due that morning

7:25 am

i never know if he is doing a school trip or function till it is 30 minutes away

7:25 am

lol

7:25 am

Yep, sounds familiar, but now she is very responsible and successful, so who knows?

7:25 am

Isn't it wonderful that kids are the same the world over....lol

7:25 am

my 13 years old is so sweet - he will agree with everything I say and smile - then do exactly what he wants. He doesnt yell and scream like my 17 year old daughter. He is always pleasant but does what he wants. YOu can take everything away from him and he continues to smile and does what he wants. How do you fight that.

7:25 am

i look at him and his friends and thing "these brats are going to run the world???"

7:25 am

Wow Mom, he's good huh? lol

7:26 am

He's the best!

7:26 am

He's sounds kinda cute Momneeds...at least you dragged him up the right way. Manners and a nice smile will get him a long way. lol

7:26 am

lol passive resistance,he leaned that from army movies mom, the way it goes is that you never say no to an order and get court marshalled,you just say yes sir,then dont do it lol

7:26 am

He will be a salesman or an attorney then ?

7:27 am

his goal in life is to be a professional soccer player - I try to explain that is tough to do especially in the US. And he smiles.....

7:28 am

says yes mam,then does his thing lol

7:28 am

I would so rather have him like this - he will charm his way into anything

7:29 am

whew!..ok..tea,toast or 3 fingers of bourbon...mmmm

7:30 am

maybe he can give your daughter some lessons

7:30 am

At lease he is pleasant rather than rebellious...

7:30 am

now my daughter gives me THAT look like I have no idea what I am talking about - she knows it all - I'd go with the bourbon but as you say it is only 8:30 am

7:31 am

It's 5 o'clock somewhere

7:31 am

overall they are good kids so I cant complain TOO much

7:32 am

Yyay my 97th word, with 20 left I'm off to bed. Goodnight all

7:32 am

I need to get to work for a while - catch you all later

7:32 am

count your blessings Mom

7:32 am

bye lynxxx - sweet dreams

7:33 am

7:36 am

Can anyone clue the ex5 please ;o)

7:37 am

good morning everyone, ex + girl's name abrev.

7:38 am

Thanks Chris didn't even think that was a word .... thanks jm

7:38 am

Thanks flosey

7:38 am

7:38 am

It is a typical Babble word lol

7:39 am

yw norma

7:47 am

Good morning/day to all. Another small grid. Is it tough?

7:48 am

a few words you wouldn't use every day scrabs

7:48 am

That's what I suspected. Small grids usually have obscure words.

7:48 am

no r or s

7:51 am

I stared at flosey's last post for quite a while thinking it was a clue......need more coffee

7:51 am

Haha, jmitch

7:51 am

ah, sorry mitch

7:52 am

I too need more coffee, brb

7:55 am

I had to use Morewords for my last word...te5--has that double vowel in the middle... never see that one.

7:55 am

but I am done.

7:56 am

whoo hoo annke

7:56 am

*annie

7:56 am

wtg Annie

7:59 am

ve8, nice, there's a word we don't get in the grid every day!

8:01 am

hi everybody, I'm an ex5!

8:01 am

too early to wrap my brain around an 8 although a ve8 sounds tasty for breakfast

8:01 am

hint for the ve8 (or the other 8)

8:01 am

hi ruby

8:01 am

that you are, ruby, your very existence is a clue

8:02 am

my whole life, lol

8:02 am

ve8 and ex8 are the 8's, both nice normal words...

8:03 am

The one jmc wants for breakfast is a Sicilian specialty.

8:03 am

urshy, are you in London? I am trying to get a phone number for the Copthorne Hotel in W1 or close to it, and the website sends me to gatwick!

8:03 am

good to know hursh i may well see them when the coffee kicks in

8:03 am

I love the ve8 word. Sounds romantic but def. is not.

8:03 am

(Hello, just passing through!)

8:03 am

if only! sadly, i'm only a wannabe brit.

8:03 am

Hello Vicuna (who is only passing through)

8:04 am

hi vicuna -- life or grid?

8:04 am

I was thinking of the vegetable juice vic -- a light little pun to get my clever brain synapses firing

8:04 am

Ahh... I get it. You wouldn't really want to di4 on ve8.

8:04 am

rubyfoo - Copthorne Tara Hotel, Scarsdale Place London W8 020 7937 7211

8:05 am

I'll look again for W1

8:05 am

yay, got the ve8

8:05 am

Well, both, ruby! lol But the former hopefully will take a longer time than the latter.

8:05 am

thank you jacula

8:05 am

not only that vic but i haven't gotten the word yet!

8:05 am

hello ruby, good for you

8:05 am

i certainly hope so vic! it would be sad to think of someone dieing with their babble boots on!

8:06 am

Hello new entrants. I am back + forth from here, on other websites.

8:06 am

that's probably it, jacula, do you think it's walking distance from Notting Hill? If yes, then it's the correct one

8:06 am

jmc, ve8 is a family feud..

8:06 am

Did you see my clue that it's a Sicilian specialty, jmc?

8:06 am

vendetti

8:06 am

ah! ty annie

8:06 am

oops, sorry

8:06 am

Great clue, Ruby!

8:06 am

8:07 am

Ruby - it's in Kensington.

8:07 am

very cute clue vic but it went right over my head -- got it now ty all

8:07 am

I don't know London except for St. Johnswood....

8:07 am

*hands jmc a soothing blankie*

8:08 am

is Kensington walking distance from Notting Hill

8:08 am

*curls up with blankie and puts straw in coffee*

8:08 am

ruby - Yes.

8:08 am

8:09 am

py

8:09 am

at*

8:09 am

nobody visits for 6 months, and then everybody comes in May!

8:09 am

can you stretch it in the other direction ruby?

8:09 am

Someday I want to visit the UK and Italy.

8:09 am

he's arriving around the 15th and leaving whenever....

8:10 am

and we have visitors 5 -12 May and another one coming while my son is here!

8:10 am

i loved italy back in the dark ages when i visited fresh out of college

8:10 am

it's a nightmare

8:10 am

may in france, can you be surprised?

8:11 am

bummer ruby but nice to ha** visitors perhaps you can list them while sitting in the pb ;-)

8:11 am

and I've tarted up the garden with annuals filling the empty spots in the perennial borders!

8:11 am

oooh come tart up my garden please!

8:11 am

it's a great, cheap and easy solution

8:12 am

i have some pots on my terrace that need some tarting up

8:12 am

I studied garden books for 3 years before we moved here, so it was all theoretical but it's truly lovely

8:12 am

i could probably use some tarting up my self *pokes at bags under eyes*

8:12 am

hahah annie

8:13 am

my wrinkles have wrinkles of their own!

8:13 am

*sticks some impatiens under jmc's eyes*... Nah. You look fine the way you are.

8:13 am

ruby, you must take pictures of your garden and show them to us.

8:14 am

for the deck, I did a planter with parsley, chives, tiny basil and magenta celosia and some purple daisy-looking prolific flower. Oh, and also a purple -flowering succulent which actually survived the winter

8:14 am

anyone who can tart up a garden is beautiful.

8:14 am

*looks in mirror* but they bring color to my face!

8:15 am

is it safe to put my e-mail address in my profile, or maybe I'll sign up for flickr....

8:15 am

my trick for the garden was limiting colors -- works like a charm

diet y

8:15 am

*mutters something about Bozo having color in his face, too*

oops...and good morning! :o)

8:16 am

8:22 am

sigh. this is a lot of v words.

8:22 am

I am still waking up here. 2nd cup of tea is brewing.

8:22 am

funny Scrabbs

8:23 am

hi sea

8:23 am

lol, Scrabbler. So close, yet... so way off.

8:23 am

I call myself moron, idiot and doofus frequently.

8:23 am

scrabbs, you are the exact opposite

8:23 am

Hi jm, good morning to all

8:23 am

18 V's

8:23 am

oops i just realized i am missing a meeting

8:24 am

maybe i should add moron to my repertoire... i usually go with idiot, doof, or stupid.

good morning babblers.

8:24 am

I tend to use those names for others scrabbs

8:24 am

*trying decide if it is worth changing out o jeans and catching the subway*

8:24 am

hi red

8:24 am

dummy is my favorite

8:24 am

Hi Red + SS

8:24 am

Hi red! All better, I hope

maybe call and leave regrets jmc, depends on the mtg, must not have had a hot hot agenda if you forgot about it.

8:24 am

and things not suitable for a family chog

8:25 am

phone

8:25 am

it isn't on my topic but the connections are the thing

Yup Annie, I feel good. Tired, but good.

8:25 am

they will be talking about the churches reaction to how congress is pitting immigration reform against health reform

8:26 am

Bad allergy day already--eyes + nose are rebelling pollen.

8:26 am

A friend + I will be hiking in 2 hrs.

Interesting JMC, I have to admit, as an average citizen, I had not noted that.

8:27 am

Immigration or invasion?

It looks like Florida is going to H in a handbasket now that Crist is trying for congress, we are left with rubio.

8:27 am

well me either but then i am somewhat focused on my interests on the hill

8:27 am

you think the three way race will be fun?

And a Democratic candidate that has NO chance of winning. I am disappointed.

Well, Crist is going for congress, the other 2 want to be governor.

8:29 am

help with the singleton e and o at the bottom for nbt tile and then i will go beha** myself

8:29 am

Clue for Vi7, please?

8:29 am

Don't you think that the truly great people out there, that can lead our country, decide to not venture into the public microscope with impending scrutiny + attacks? That is what I fear--politicians are just narcissists.

8:29 am

nm, just got it.

8:29 am

red-i thought Crist changed to Independent to stay in the gubernotorial race-

8:30 am

actually many politicians are truly great people in impossible situations imho

8:30 am

I only have the ve8; what is the other 8, pls?

12:54 pm

I also only have one 7, di7/32

it is an ex 8 and it means when you speed somthing up you ex****** it.

12:54 pm

I only have a few sevens, 2.

my other seven is a Past tense of a pa 6, 21.

12:55 pm

lovely ex clue, rth!

it worked?

yay!

12:56 pm

love en**** ruby

I have not actually tried the recipe, it came with the icon photo, but I thought someone might try it.

12:57 pm

the salad green, boo? lol

12:57 pm

lol

ruby, my icon is a clue for the en 6.

12:58 pm

I had that but had to look at your profile. The recipe sounds good except for the raisins....

sounds great red

I think if I made it I'd rather use real crab. Love raisin!

12:58 pm

en**** was really expensive in the US; here, when in season, it is very inexpensive

12:59 pm

I like it just braised in butter

Anything braised in Butter is lovely!

1:00 pm

exactly!

1:01 pm

I buy butter with coarse sea salt in it that is wonderful with veggies

we seemed to have lost all our nice weather again...but my radishes are coming up...can't wait for the other things to sprout

1:01 pm

I just planted mine yesterday, so no sprouts yet

1:01 pm

clue for pi 6/21

there seems to have been alot of people die this week, an uncle of mine, a neighbour, and a friends aunt.and I see one of our other members too have lost someone

1:02 pm

pi** (tree) + british "bye"

thanks Ruby!!

good clue ruby

1:03 pm

not original with me; somebody clued it before and I remembered!

I am pleased to say that lately there has been no deaths where I am working. or in the family.

that is good to hear red

1:04 pm

ty ruby

its good for me!

1:04 pm

we have tons of company coming in May so I tarted up our garden with flats of geraniums and impatiens

My husbands 3 year ct scan has come back with nothing changed so here is to looking forward to next year's cancer scan

1:04 pm

it is so beautiful right now

sounds lovely ruby love both of those flowers

that is great news Barb!!!

1:04 pm

yay for Barb's husband!!!!

and ruby, I bet it looks really inviting and colorful!

1:05 pm

and I got all the peonies staked and the roses fed

1:05 pm

and the fruit trees are flowering! I love spring

1:05 pm

Hows the grid today folks?

my peonies haven't bloomed now for two years...what am I doing wrong?

1:06 pm

friendly, gadget

hi gadget

Hi Gadget! I thnk it is more relaxing that the last few.

1:06 pm

do they just get all and leafy with no buds?

1:06 pm

Seems it

1:06 pm

tall*

yes lots of leafs no buds

1:07 pm

ants?

well there are a few around but I have ant traps out

31 left and I have not hit up lickety yet, but there ha** been some good cluers!

1:08 pm

no, I think the peonies need them!

1:08 pm

how old are they?

that's what I thought to split the flower buds open...gosh about 3 -4 years maybe older as I moved them to this house 3 years ago when we moved

1:09 pm

maybe you planted them upside down. That's what happened with my white ones and they took years before they flowered!

they had one or two bud each the first year we moved here

1:10 pm

Clue for the ex8?

1:10 pm

I wish I could give you advice, but this is my first garden, and once the peonies got established, they've been wonderful

hmmm upside down huh I will have to check

1:11 pm

ex8, hurry things along

the ex 8 when you want something to go somewhere in a hurry you ex8 it.

thanks for trying ruby I appreciate it

i guess I better get a few things done before my son gets out of school at noon today. bye all for now and happy babbling

1:12 pm

my favorite of the peonies, a deep magenta one, was very sick two years ago with twisty leaves and no flowers, but it seems to be making a comeback

bye Barb, alwasy good to see you/

sounds lovely

1:12 pm

3:54 pm

3:54 pm

hope you feel better soon, red

3:55 pm

hi peri

3:55 pm

red, have some ginger tea or ginger ale, always good to settle an uneasy stomach

when a kid has a fever peri you give it a bath in Te*** water.

3:55 pm

ty red ..i couldn't thinkof aclue

I just chewed some pepto tablets, I am sure I am fine...whoel day was strange.

3:55 pm

Goodmorning all

3:56 pm

3:57 pm

3:58 pm

wtg peri

congratulations on FW peri!

3:58 pm

whoo hooo peri

hello JMCn

3:59 pm

hiya red

3:59 pm

hows the work front? still a struggle?

new job jmc, starts on the 24th of May.

4:00 pm

wtg red! which one is it?

4:01 pm

are both y words 4s?

its the other ED, the pay is much improved. not really what i wanted but it is what I am qualified to do, and I will be making a lot more money.

4:02 pm

yep

yes, on snow monster and one with a double consonant.

4:02 pm

ty lynxxx i will refrain from asking for a clue then

4:02 pm

ty red

4:03 pm

well i am sorry it is not what you wanted but are the people better?

jmc, they are of course talking abut the Casey Anthony case here in Orlando. They are talking about moving Jurors here to Orlando...

What happens to someone like me if sequestered for 8 weeks for a trial. I mean, you dont get really paid....

I have no idea, but the pay is improved, by quite a lot. I was astounded.

4:05 pm

most judges let people who cannot afford to be sequestered because of work not be picked

4:05 pm

you do get paid a token for jury duty everywhere i know

4:05 pm

for the unemployed it is a pretty good deal

That makes me wonder how fair a jury is if they take a lot of working people out of the picture.

4:06 pm

that is a sad case no matter how it turns out

Well, I think it's a bit of a circus. I would be a terrible juror. She killed her daughter. I am of that opinion.

I do wonder where they will find people who did not hear of the case.

4:07 pm

Here in Aust, the jurors employer is required to continue paying the person. The juror would pay over the $30 per day he get to his employer. Hard on small businessess

Well, most cases do not take that long, I think a week or so at most.

anyone want to throw me a clue or two for anything?

4:10 pm

ex5.22 person who does not live in their own country

4:10 pm

gotta go peel shrimp for dinner, good luck to everyone!

Yaaaay Lynxxx gave me a word I do not have!

Pippin, have a good diner, and rewash those clothes.

I will also take a short break 22 left.

4:11 pm

bye Pippin

4:11 pm

it is optional here lynxx and some employers do and some don't

4:11 pm

bye pip

4:11 pm

i am a Texas ex***

4:12 pm

bye red

4:13 pm

i am 1/2 way

4:14 pm

WhooHoo just found the other 8

4:15 pm

wtg lynxxx!

4:24 pm

Hello, everyone; how are you today? And how is the grid?

4:25 pm

Hi Nef, has some interesting words in it

oh my, I had to come back, has anyone seen that news out of India about the guy who says he has not eaten anything for 72 years?

4:27 pm

haaat?

4:27 pm

lol no i have not

4:27 pm

no - what's happening

4:27 pm

but you can SAY anything

it was on the news. Very interesting.

I am going to google it. He has been on video tape now at a hospital for 5 days, no intake.

link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/ 3236118.stm

hi red! are you aware there was a girl in AMerica before the turn of the century who made the same claim? the book was reviewed well.

No I wasnt TO, interesting. And amazing.

I cant go ten minutes without drinking something.

i began the book but did not finish it. fairly recent

So, it did not hold your interest?

i rmemember she had been hit by a trolley i think... and there was a diagnosis of some type of nervosa...by product of the inudstrial age, she was in NYC

interesting, how long did she live?

i didn't get that far :(. either did not appeal or was having trouble with eyes.glasses at the time.

(as i shovel dinner in between posts)

May see if it at the library, Been rading a lot lately for some reason.

no chance of starvation here! :)

I eat.

well i also did not lie the monster of florence, which pam and nrk gave glowing reviews.

Well, I find lately I am limited by what is in our library, which is, shall we say, an eclectic collection!

so gruseome i could not read it

Oh, I do not love the gruesome type of books. I like a good clean murder mystery, where tey discover the body, not describe what happened to the body before it was dead.

4:42 pm

i have the ex8 but could anyone share what the other starts with please?

TO do you have the Lone I that is in the Second row? I need assistance with it.

not yet, i'll look a while

Madx, the other 8 is a ve 8, and it is something that Mafia type people often persue.

4:44 pm

got it - thank you!

4:44 pm

red.. iv5.. the halls of harvard and princeton and yale are iv***

covered in leafy vi4/7s

Glad to help and thank you Dorens and TO...I should have found it.

4:44 pm

And welcome MadX, I dont know that we have "met" before.

hello doren.

4:47 pm

hello and thank you. I have been around on and off for years but don't tend to post much on chat.

I figured you were one of the silent veteran lurkers! I love Lurkers!

the term does sound a bit odd though.

4:49 pm

Hi all. I just finished. May I offer a clue to anyone?

oh god nto ANOTHE Rex 8? yesterday's did me inR

4:49 pm

a veteran lurker...I like that!

COngratulations Gramma!!!!!

4:49 pm

ty

yay gramms!

Ok, I dont feel so bad then, sometimes the word lurk has a negative connotation!

4:50 pm

TO ex8 is to speed something along, like a request or paper work.....

TO there is not an re 8. there is a ve 8 and a ex8.

oooh, the ex 8.

bad typing, look again

i tried expiate and expedient

4:51 pm

4:53 pm

ve8 is getting even or a grudge

interesting hard goods and plants too

4:55 pm

I just went in there about 2 weeks ago with my husband. We were impressed with how clean it was.

we used to get rools there for work picnic, they would set aside a case for us. they were cheap and fine

4:56 pm

what are rools?

cheap rolls :)

any py words?

4:57 pm

oh... see you all sunday

bye

Its being built here and I am curious, I have heard the fresh produce is not too fresh, btu that canned good and toothpaste are cheaper.

brands are not recognizable here

Well, as long as they are not poisionous!

many packers pack for name and store brands

godnes. monday was 50 and rainy,tomorrow will be nearly 90

like vitamins. Only a very very few vitamin compounders in the US, but tons of name brands...

i try some store brands. i find wegman's store brands are very high quality. safeway not very

I grew up on store brands and usually use them.

i NEVER ate a store brand growing up. i do find with sales and coupons being doubled, there is not usually much price difference

but when there is i do try the store brand

I'm not a big coupon user, dont take the paper etc.

or when cooking for a crowd or baking

I seem to have one left from several boxes and can not find any more words. :(

i need 32 :(

18 but i am so close now do not want list yet.

would now be a good time to post the info from our EAP on internet addiction in my profile? ;)

LOL. I think not having it at work probably decreases my time a lot!

and with that I have to figure out dinner!

See you soon owl.

7:04 pm

domino was taken during the night - we had an enclosed cage so they could get out of the hutch from a ramp. We found a hole in the wiring one morning and domino gone - no blood, nothing - strange since she was the shy one and would never leave the hutch. Moon died a year later - probably loneliness = they were sisters

7:05 pm

I am missing many Ps

seems like I came in at the right time for a party! I have brownies and icecream for the everyone who can enjoy it.

7:42 pm

hey bugs!!! ((((HUGS AND HUGS)))) I had an uncomfortable experience yesterday with a student I didn't know well enough (managed to say JUST the wrong thing and it blew up FAST) and talked to my teacher and others at the school, and thought of you... and soldiered on. I am really hoping those kinds of situations will be few and far between...

7:42 pm

*raises hand* nom nom nom

7:42 pm

ooooh! thanks bugs!

7:42 pm

*sits down in the middle of the brownies and ice cream*

7:43 pm

oh stid - doesnt matter what job - we all have uncomfortable, difficult situations - good for you getting through it standing tall

7:43 pm

Don't worry stid. We all make mistakes that are never meant to be mistakes, it is just the way the kid interprets it. Or it could be that they are on the ASD scale and you just being new was enough to agitate them.

7:44 pm

thanks Bugs and Mom. that's the kind of thing people are saying in person, too.

7:44 pm

oh. ten to go...

7:44 pm

git'r dun, stid

7:45 pm

7:50 pm

*drumroll*

7:51 pm

7:52 pm

Bye Stid

7:52 pm

bye, stiddy!

7:52 pm

bye stid - enjoy

7:52 pm

I so love House

7:53 pm

HATE house

7:53 pm

hush kje - shhh - it could get tough here

7:54 pm

I used to like him...but it's gone more soap-opery than I care for...

7:54 pm

he is obnoxious

7:54 pm

I like Dr House--says things I wish I COULD say. But, as with all medical shows, it lacks accuracy.

7:54 pm

YES - that is what is so great

7:54 pm

its entertainment

7:55 pm

Heyas kids ..

7:55 pm

He is a flawed character.

7:55 pm

arent we all?

7:55 pm

netted

7:55 pm

Hi Torgone

7:55 pm

oops

7:55 pm

to the PB with you =- sorry coffee is cold

7:55 pm

but may have some beverage chilled by this time

7:56 pm

hate House too because people in hospital are already upset and don't need more stress from insensitive staff.

7:56 pm

RIGHT into the PB .. again

7:56 pm

hi torg!

7:56 pm

heya bgh... great entrance

7:56 pm

there are brownies and ice cream in there Torgone. You have to take your own special ingredients if you want them

7:56 pm

vi7?

7:57 pm

similar ot the ve8

7:57 pm

no idea yet Pini

7:57 pm

think princess

7:57 pm

* thinking *

7:57 pm

A physician like House would never be tolerated--he would be dismissed quickly.

7:58 pm

yes... and sued constantly

7:58 pm

he is an ass

7:58 pm

vi + consonant + diminuative ending

7:58 pm

I agree Scrabbs so why glorify a guy as crass as that? Makes no sense

7:59 pm

* still thinking *

7:59 pm

someone needs to remind me what a diminutive ending is - been too long to remember - never the English major

7:59 pm

got it!

8:00 pm

gg Pini

8:00 pm

He verbalizes the truth.

8:00 pm

like a rock**** at radio city music hall

8:00 pm

MNH, try "dude v. dude***"

8:00 pm

koda call..brb

8:00 pm

but in an abusive manner Scrabs.

8:01 pm

Yes, tactless, blunt, cruel, but because it is not real I can laugh at him.

8:01 pm

gruff yes but gets the job done

8:01 pm

on TV that is

8:02 pm

now if that was my personal physician - he wouldnt be

8:03 pm

House is an extreme example of an impaired MD.

8:04 pm

35 left, seems like a good time to list

8:04 pm

Because I work with people who have as few social skills as him all day, I don't enjoy it again at night. I like things like NCIS because it is definately fantasy and something I cannot relate to in any way except the way the co-workers jibe each other. (Hope I am not in the PB for any of this.)

8:04 pm

go leslie

8:05 pm

you're in the clear, bugs

8:05 pm

Hi sixty7stang13! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

Hi Minveryork. I am doing well. How are you?

10:11 pm

I'm very well.Got my fireworks a couple of hours ago.

congrats Min. I am trying but do not think I will make it.

10:12 pm

Now that I'm do4/5 with the grid I can give a ha 4/5 with clues. Here is a story of clues for you to di 4/8 into. I hope this story this ex 8/75s your fireworks. Last weekend my hubby and I at6/21 a dog parade.I ha4/8 become an av 4/8 dog lover. Although my dog is a boy, he acts like a di4/8 sometimes. My husband hates it, but I not give a di 4/5 how my dog acts. My hubby doesn't think it is a good id4/5 to spoil my dog but I do anyway.I try to take good care of my dog. I try to give my dog a good di4/5. Every ni4/4 my dog di4/5s on Dog Chow. Every ni 4/4 we play a game of hi4/6 and seek & then he sits on the di 5/18 with me while I watch my soaps. I wish I could send a vi 5/18 of him to America's Funniest Home Vi 5/18s. One day my dog got into a bee hi 4/8. I believe he learned his lesson.Sometimes I wish I could ta4/5 his mouth shut because he te 4/5s to barks a lot.I did not ed4/5 my story so there may be some mistakes. I have not ea 5/10 dessert yet, so I am off to find something good.

10:15 pm

Thanks, Min. That gave me a couple more, in addition to your icon!
