12:11 am

welcome to the club, doug!

12:11 am

HI Doug

12:12 am

12:12 am

Oh, well, sounds like I'm all set for a happy Babbling session

12:13 am

Hello herin

lore

oops sorry!

12:13 am

There's an an in the grid without a t next to it, and an in in the grid without a g next to it. Grrr!

I remember most of Nans stories

12:14 am

QU6

12:14 am

did she make them up, herin?

No these were stories of when she was in Africa or when Bamby (great gran pa) came back from WW1 and marched from Wales to London

12:15 am

Wow! You should write them down!

12:16 am

i am stalled at 29 this is pathetic

Some where in a book is stuff Nan told me from the time she left home

12:17 am

Family stories should be preserved

I remember her saying when my dad was born in the dead of Welsh winter as they escaped London there was complaints that he was a boy

12:18 am

whee -- got pu7!

12:18 am

jill is it something we should know?

I would like to track down Bambys records from WW1 as he Survived Gallipoli

12:20 am

well, mlf, we have them

12:20 am

lol jill hmm

12:21 am

It's a bit medical

12:21 am

uince

12:22 am

I don't think so, patact ;)

12:23 am

I'm noticing words that appear in crossword puzzles quite a bit are in this grid...

12:23 am

****, Vera, well ****, Vera, it's so nice to have you back where you belong!

nope. bed.

12:23 am

Isn't that par for the course, doug?

12:24 am

can someone give me another webpage besides Morewords i havent been able to get that page to work very well

12:25 am

Well, yes, but this one seems to be particularly tied to crosswords

12:25 am

mlf, if you go to Resources in Expert, there's A2Z

12:25 am

"Holy ****, Batman!" "Why Robin, I didn't know you could yodel."

12:25 am

But morewords works like a dream

there is one I use but I can't remember the stupid site sorry

12:26 am

AZZ?

12:27 am

a2z

12:27 am

oh duhh lol

12:28 am

jill i love that site but have had probs with it constantly running or wot give me the words

12:29 am

never had a problem with it, mlf

12:29 am

i hadnt either until i used it again in the past few weeks or so off and on

12:30 am

12:30 am

Brain is frumbling with seven, count 'em, seven blank tiles

12:38 am

I have 3 bt, all vowels, of course :(

12:39 am

It's tricky to have 40% of the words with seven blank tiles

12:40 am

sounds pretty good, doug!

12:40 am

hello all! how's the grid?

Later everyone. Loves

12:41 am

Not as bad as a poke in the eye with a blunt stick, stid

12:41 am

later lady! *waves good bye*

12:41 am

not as much fun as yesterday's, stid -- hi!

12:41 am

12:41 am

bye heron

12:41 am

herin, I mean

Bye bye

12:41 am

I agree Jilli, yesterdays was very enjoyable

12:41 am

well that's a glowing review douglas! LOL

12:43 am

It's not that bad, I've just hit the wall at 40 out of 100 words

12:43 am

hello flosey -- very deserty desert! Interesting writeup too!

12:43 am

hm. then I don't have much of a chance, do I douglas?

12:44 am

thanks jilli, yours too

12:44 am

I also have 40 words but 2 bt

12:44 am

I'm about ready to hit the sack, trying for nbt at least, give it a couple more minutes

12:44 am

You might know some things I don't know readily

12:45 am

sweet dream flosey, thanks for the advice earlier, it did help for me to actually rest.

12:45 am

I made it to the play!

12:45 am

How interesting -- CNN is talking about the alert in Times Square, NY -- Google Earth has blurred out the area for security reasons!

12:45 am

glad to hear that stid

12:45 am

ok we're back....

12:46 am

hey PAV

12:46 am

missing my e's for NBT

12:46 am

stid, the kid looks great! How tall is he now?

12:46 am

alert? times square?

12:46 am

Hi Pav :)

12:46 am

hasn't grown much jill -- still about 5'11

12:46 am

Yes, stid, a suspicious car

12:47 am

and still the tallest in the family except for one of tom's brothers, I believe

12:47 am

There was a parked car that exploded in Times Square

12:47 am

he's towering over the family, though, eh?

12:49 am

oh yes, jill -- 8 or more inches taller than I am, 9 taller than his brother!! he is now responsible for light bulbs, anything on tall shelves and the tops of the cars when they are being washed! LOL

12:49 am

hello all - hmmm I have 45 left but 4 blank tiles

12:49 am

hi ursh

12:50 am

hey ursh!

12:50 am

handy to have a tall guy around

12:50 am

for sure, jill!

12:50 am

18yos is taller than me now, 16yos is getting there

12:50 am

lol stid - my boy is 6'2" and I often call him to come and loan me is tallth

12:51 am

and how tall are you, doug?

12:51 am

yep, that's the way it goes, especially for those of us who happily buy small houses and small furniture. He fits in two chairs in the living room, and tolerates the other furniture in the house.

12:53 am

I'm 6'2''...13yos hasn't started growing in earnest yet

12:53 am

<<<< used to be 6'

12:54 am

hi ruru -- used to be?

12:54 am

and now ruru? I know you only just hit your growth spurt... *wicked mama grin*

12:54 am

I'm compressing now with gravity jilli

12:55 am

12:56 am

12:56 am

good idea, jill

12:57 am

you can't tell, ruru

12:57 am

I am big-boned... not a problem there

12:58 am

plus most of my head is bone..

12:58 am

hi ruru!

12:58 am

it's not how big, it's how dense

12:58 am

hello pavster

12:58 am

I've beaten three blank tiles into submission with my morewords stick

12:58 am

then ruru's okay, he's pretty dense... *wickeder mama grin*

12:59 am

<<< didn't go through menopause<<<

12:59 am

not going to morewords yet

12:59 am

politely staying out of conversation so as to not provide entendres

12:59 am

The Minnesota suburb Edina is in the grid, and also in crossword puzzles from time to time.

Or for the lesson plans I need to turn in to my real (classroom) teacher. Or... *sigh* always something more to be working on.

1:01 am

It won't last forever, stid ;)

1:01 am

while I am into day one of my forced staycation...

1:01 am

what's that about, pav?

1:02 am

I have to use 4 weeks of leave before Dec...and July & aug are out...so

1:03 am

the Dane snoozing in the chair in my flickr pix is in the grid :)

1:03 am

I am able to use a week at a time...and after 4 weeks of leave, I'll still have 4 weeks remaining on the books...the max

1:04 am

That sounds pretty good, pav -- paid leave?

1:04 am

sorry 8 weeks of leave remaining...yes, earned and paid when used or when I depart state service...which I am hoping for real soon...

1:06 am

did anyone clue that E yet? The one in the 4th column, 2nd row

1:27 am

I did a crossword puzzle once where the clue was, "someone not going to the prom," or something like. The answer was ne4, and one of my sons said "Gee, Dad, how would you know that?"

1:32 am

Actually, I did go to the prom...I even had a date!

1:36 am

nbt, with a little...no, make that a lot of help from morewords, and the chat, of course

1:38 am

Wasn't Lorien an el5 hangout in LOTR? Or was that Lothlorien?

1:55 am

YAY book!!!

1:56 am

pe8 is part of a plant

1:56 am

does anyone need clues?

1:58 am

Time for bed for me. Enjoy the grid

2:15 am

Well, time for my bed too, if nobody needs clues. Goodnight! *poof*

2:31 am

good morning everybody!

2:31 am

started with jilli's pe8 - nice way to start

2:33 am

I am finding this one hard! I think I need wine

2:33 am

hello sandy. I've just started but it seems like a nasty little grid, especially compared to yesterday's grand one!

2:34 am

Yesterday's was fun, but this.....I have 31 left

2:35 am

when did you start?

2:35 am

a couple of hours ago, but have been off and on

2:37 am

I had a really good sleep last night and didn't even wake up til 9.30 - usually get up at 6.30- and I don't think I have recovered from that all day- I feel very lazy

2:39 am

I wish! If I sleep past 8, my husband has a fit and starts slamming things around. He gets up at 6:30 but also goes to sleep at least 2 hrs before me!

2:39 am

Mine is away at the moment - but I have to feed the horses early - they were hanging over the fence

2:40 am

that is lovely. Are the tame? And how many do you have?

2:40 am

they* more coffee needed, poopy typing!

2:42 am

We have two here. One is an old boy who we showed for years - he is a schoolmaster- which means he does everything and the other is an inexperienced beautiful black thoroughbred who belongs to my daughter's friend - she is teaching him to jump

2:43 am

are they friends?

2:43 am

We are looking to buy a horse for dressage, we are just waiting for the right one to come along (also one we can afford - they get very pricey

2:43 am

it's funny how many of my friends own horses - and they're all over the world!

2:44 am

The horses share the paddocks with a sheep who thinks it is a horse

2:44 am

that is so cute

2:44 am

Horses are a huge sport here -dressage, jumping , hacking, racing, polo, hunting etc.

2:45 am

and of course eventing

2:46 am

I have done a lot of riding over the years but now I like to stick to safe horses and quiet riding- the ground gets further away every year

2:46 am

we're in a tiny village, but although there are a few wild animals (foxes, boar, chamois, snakes), we never see them, just dogs (2 here) and cats (all over the place.

2:47 am

Not many wild animals in Aus. Here we have a few kangaroos , bandicoots possums snakes and thats about all

2:48 am

sounds pretty wild to me!

2:49 am

there used to be deer and rabbits here, but the French ate everything, even the squirrels (I think), so you have to go into the mtns to see anything and I'm too old for that!

2:50 am

lol, it's very civilised actually, lots of nice restaurants and wineries , but i'm sure that France would be absolutely fantastic, I know the scenery from watching the Tour (as we mentioned before)

2:50 am

yes, the scenery is beautiful, and right now is the prettiest time of all -- very long and flowery spring

2:50 am

and the visitors start coming wednesday!

2:51 am

I have to go- my daughter wants to have a go at the grid (she is Niks4Jaf)

2:51 am

see you later

2:51 am

BBl, I am going to France in the next couple of years and am looking forward to the food

2:52 am

we'll talk about that! ((hugs))

good morning all how many words today please

3:18 am

100

thanks i am halfway

3:42 am

morning all

4:02 am

good morning

4:03 am

hi

4:03 am

we finally had rain and everything is green and flowering!

4:03 am

how are you and your daughter feeling, sprite?

4:03 am

was it needed?

4:04 am

yes, it was very dry; we were having to water every day

4:04 am

but except for the hollyhocks and strawberries, everything is planted

4:05 am

I'm waiting for an energy spurt to finish up

4:05 am

daughter is ok, and I am a bit better again. Dead tired though, but I really enjoy not having to cough all the time. Thanks for asking.

4:05 am

coughing is exhausting!!!

4:06 am

no kidding. Done it for 3 months, and violently too.

4:06 am

did it make you lose weight?

4:06 am

are your ribs intact?

4:07 am

yup, lost some weight and thank gods, no rib broken this time. But very very sore. What is the word? Not broken but.....

4:08 am

sprained? strained? cracked? definitely sore!

4:08 am

I've had broken ribs and tehre are few things more painful

4:09 am

sprained maybe. It is painful, but it will heal now the coughing isn't that bad anymore!

4:11 am

I once managed to break a rib with coughing, a couple of years ago. It was incredibly painful. Did not even know it was possible. But the ER doc said coughing makes for incredible forces and strains.

4:12 am

that's awful!

4:13 am

the only thing that I ever felt that was as painful and kind of similar, is the pelvic injury I have from giving birth.

4:14 am

but now nothing is broken and soon things will be much better. I have a friend coming over to stay for a couple of nights, am so looking forward to it.

4:21 am

...

4:47 am

fireflies, bye all

5:16 am

6:15 am

I'm not there yet, Jay. I go abc order usually.

6:16 am

Rats! what letter are you on?

6:16 am

I've only been here a few minutes and nothing is flowing for me yet.

6:16 am

Believe me, this grid NEVER flows

6:17 am

I'm still in the a ... but I have 17 words, odd ones that popped to mind.

6:17 am

Yesterday's was sweet.

6:18 am

VERY sweet. today's is payback

6:18 am

Anyone else lurking about with those Ps?

6:19 am

I guess I'll go read the Times and come back later

6:19 am

good plan

6:25 am

hi jayk

6:25 am

pe8 is foot + not aunt

6:25 am

hi mudd

6:26 am

don't have any pu's

6:26 am

and still not at half!

6:26 am

Hi, Ruby

6:26 am

I'm 1/3 now.

6:26 am

yesterday's grid was so much fun, got 2/3

6:27 am

I have 48 words, but this is very difficult

hi all

6:27 am

hah, half!

6:27 am

hi TO

6:28 am

Hi, Temp. I'm fighting for every word. Even the short ones give me grief.

6:29 am

Do you have the di 5 yet please?

6:29 am

only the pt of di4/5

hi ruby, hi mudd. very awkward word placement

6:30 am

very hard

a car bomb was found in times square last night.

6:31 am

no! that's awful

6:31 am

Yes, I have the di 4 and can't build on that. Where else can a person go after that?

6:31 am

found, but not detonated? Wow!

can use past tense

6:31 am

That is awfull.

vehicle was smoking lightly. close call

ts always a target

6:33 am

they were afraid of that on New Year's!

6:33 am

Oh duh, that is my major error so many times. I find a letter and work from that and never start at the other letter. Thanx

yes, remember the abandoned car scare in december?

6:33 am

I wasted a lot of time on that one.

oh don't we all?

6:34 am

I was gone New Year's and read nothing.

6:34 am

yes, I'm glad I love in a remote place....I don't think I could handle any of that any more

6:34 am

I live* (not love)

6:35 am

Good morning ... read the chog ... makes me wish that everyone played babble and was as peace loving as we are.

i cannot imagine an 8 letter word in this grid

6:35 am

Well, you probably love in a remote place, too.

6:36 am

latin for foot + not aunt, pe8

6:36 am

Well, I would not have gotten that 8 without an earlier lovely clue.

hey merk!

6:36 am

I wish, merk!

6:36 am

There it is again and I never thanked you earlier.

ty, had not yet found that un

6:37 am

Eavesdropped on someone else's clue and ran with it.

6:37 am

yw, merk, a pleasure to give a clue when I play so poorly....

6:37 am

see you later, siesta time for me!

6:38 am

Enjoy!

bye ruby

6:38 am

That c was worthless for a starting letter, but my clue is that the ce at the end of word has been sweet to me.

6:47 am

be back soon...have to make a bacon and tomato sandwich for Bobby

oh my,, last night i washed the cordyroys i wore to keep warm lst weekend. today i am in shorts .

thanks flosey what a weird word!!!

6:48 am

afraid there are a few of them today sandra

going to be 90 here!

it is pouring here in London

6:51 am

not even 5 am here yet, still very black out there

6:55 am

morning my dear friends. wow, usually I like to at least hit nbt before church, but it's looking doubtful with this tricky little grid!

hello trif

6:56 am

hello to. your icon is HILARIOUS

6:57 am

Good morning to all.

6:57 am

good morning doctor!

ty trif, hi scrabs.

6:57 am

Hi Trif, Owl, Scrabbs

6:58 am

I slept poorly--black fly bites are intensely itchy!

6:59 am

oh, and a quick, ever-so-fun note to my FB friends---someone posted a link yesterday on my daughter's page that said something like "check out this video is the hottest thing ever!" so I clicked on it to see what on earth someone was sending THAT to my daughter for, and it turns out it is a big virus, and sent that same message to loads of folks that I am friends with, (including my pastor, OMG). if you get that message and it appears I sent it - I DID NOT!

6:59 am

Darn little critters are out early this year, probably due to extra warm spring.

6:59 am

all the rain too, scrabbler - LOTS of breeding puddles and vernal pools....

i hiked yesterday and spent so uch time brushing away flies and inchworms there was no way i could surprise any critter

7:00 am

Sadly FB is loaded with viruses.

7:00 am

lesson learned, scrabbler, lesson learned...I am scarlet!

7:00 am

I just noticed the Qu tile.

Oh my good morning, news of a bomb in NYC...times square.

7:01 am

What?!! When, red?

yes red. they were very lucky. but then again they are very vigilant, too.

well, it was a teaser on the news, but it must have happened either last night or this morning, turn on the today show.

7:01 am

oh no!!!

last night. around 6:30

7:02 am

okay - it's didn't go off. police found a bomb-laden van in Times Square, and disarmed it.

7:02 am

It didn't even make my newspaper.

Oh, yes, it was dismantled.

7:02 am

a vietnam vet working as a street vendor saw the van, thought it looked suspicious, and called the police

7:03 am

Close call, apparently one of many since 9/11.

I guess smoke trailing in large amounts from a car.

7:03 am

thank god, they found it. times square is very crowded at that time of day. God bless that vet.

7:03 am

STAY IN YOUR HOMES. Just keep paying taxes and be scared.

Good morning Annie.

7:04 am

indeed. three propane cyclinders, gunpowder, propane tanks, the whole nine yards

7:04 am

People must be very vigilant now and not hesitate to call the authorities.

7:04 am

hi red, are you having peet's coffee today?

I am, my one sale sumatra. Its a bit strong.

7:05 am

I find Peets strong overall.

7:05 am

okay, this is slightly funny....the terrorist expert they have called in to discuss the bomb situation in Times Square is named "Dick Clark"

the morning blend not so much, but this sumatra is a bit smoky!

7:05 am

I switched to tea about 6 wks ago.

oh my that IS funny!

7:05 am

that would be one "rockin New Year's Eve" indeed!

jeez

7:06 am

Cant get Dick Clark out of Times Square

7:06 am

LOL annie!

Oh trif, that is funny, the situation is not, but....I imagine he has some issues when he shows up.

is that your local news trif?

7:07 am

oh, this is cool too- because there were so many tourists there, they are asking any people that were in that area and taking any sort of video yesterday to check it, in case they got a shot of the bomber leaving the van....

7:07 am

no, 72TO, national news

ok. i'ts offcial, i canNOT watch five staions at once and babble

7:08 am

LOL, no, I would think not!

7:08 am

Sure you can, you will just be very slow at finding words and chatting.

i neeed picture in picture technology...why doesn't fios give me that?

You might even provide for us some of those extremely clear clues!

7:09 am

The TV has that technology, if you bought a TV with those features.

i know but verizon promised me everything else!

7:11 am

This is a tough little grid, isn't it. After 28 words I am already at the staring, non-typing stage.

ok it's officak, i have give up on the movie I was watching, too early for that anyway and takes actual concentration. scrbas, chat and go back, they pop out at you suddenly

very twisty and in unexpected directions

I'm at 26.

7:12 am

does anyone have a gentle clue for the lone i on the bottom row?

ok 28

well, trif it is a babblet, an in4,4

7:13 am

Babblet in4

7:14 am

thanks red - that did it! hate to go to church without nbt, but time is against me, and I might have no choice. grump.

7:14 am

ro** of sharon

don't waste time with the arco and orca babblets. they are phantoms.

7:14 am

LOL, that was a very good clue, annie!

7:15 am

trif, it followed the in but you saw it right away

7:15 am

thanks TO. no hairy dolphin today either, or that cursed duck I ALWAYS miss

7:15 am

and the volcano

but all those letters are there. maddening!

i always miss the darned volcano.

7:17 am

I always miss: asea, feta...

7:17 am

asea and ocean get me all the time

hmm, up so early i should have hiked but it is a bad hair day. and i used to be the outdoor type

7:18 am

that is so funny, scrabbler, I always miss asea too, which I feel is unforgivable since I live so close

7:18 am

It just doesn't look like a word and I never say it--see it here and in crosswords

Well, TO, if you didnt want to hike, I say you should not have!

"nadir" is not here though all its letters are :(

7:19 am

I think this computer (my dekstop) is slowly dying). Although this browser, Babble Expert, is working, my other is not "awake" yet.

iwant to go but i don't want frizzy hair. that seems inevitable today though

7:20 am

Wear a hat.

the humidity seems to be up all over, you could put on a sporty hat.

7:20 am

temple owl, have you tried john frieda's frizzease? it really does work well

Scrabbs, GMTA!

7:20 am

I can also recommend braids

7:20 am

What is GMTA?

my hair is a humidity magnet. even a foil hat won't work! ;)

trif it strips color.

"Great minds think alike!"

7:21 am

really? I haven't found that. my hairdresser gave me some stuff named Moroccan oil, that also seems to work well

7:21 am

Aha. I often wear a baseball cap on my fun days, when I don't care if my hair gets smooshed.

ok, sun is peeking out! time to throw in the wash and hope for the best. trif you are light haired, probably not a problem

I have to admit, I pretty much put the hair in a pony tail and dont worry about it. but I probably look a fright at times...

7:22 am

Enjoy the walk, laugh about the frizzed hair, come home and wet it down.

7:22 am

not light haired, to - red. I changed my icon, so you can see me if you refresh

i don't have enough for a tail :(

trif, that is actually fairly light hair.

7:23 am

Great word for us, I just found it--fr6!!

7:23 am

thanks to. it is a bit darker now, due it's um....chemical origins....

7:23 am

clue, please

oh fr6s, time to go, happy babbling!

7:24 am

annie - what I usually say when I sign on "hello babble fr6"

7:24 am

You are my fr6, Trif is my fr6, Owl is my fr6, Red is my fr6

7:24 am

Oh I had it. Yes, a good word.

7:24 am

******big kiss*****

7:24 am

A twisty word so I am proud to have found it

will save remaining 34 for later

Yaaaay Scrabbler.

7:24 am

Bye Trif + Owl

7:25 am

Bye Owl

7:25 am

Oh, my trapezii muscles are so sore from mountain biking yesterday.

7:25 am

and bye to Trif

7:25 am

okay -- need a babble nation vote, please - primo had the SATs yesterday, and had to get up at o'dawn thirty. But Adult Sunday School is starting a new series today, on social justice issues. Wake him up and tote him along, or let him sleep in?

7:25 am

I am thinking of buying myself a new bike.

o scrabs i actually saw a doe very close up and personal on my hike. not as close as when one ran into my car, but the circumstances were a lot better

7:26 am

Tote him along. Life is tough and full of commitments.

7:26 am

So neat, Owl! I love seeing them around here.

Well, he has now had a lot of time to sleep trif, its not as if he had to stay up late last night.

7:26 am

will do! thanks all, and have a lovely day.

we just stared at each other for a few minutes then she bolted

7:27 am

bye trif and tote Primo along

awesome owl!

7:27 am

The deer tend to bolt when I start talking to them. Haha

lovely wooded park i never visited till yesterday. you could nver believe where you were

7:28 am

alas, the sprog cannot be stirred from the lair today....off I go....alone.

no doubt, scrabbler. she-who-talks-with-deer LOL

7:28 am

and with SEVEN tiles still blank! This is my worst "before church" babble count EVER

7:30 am

babble doesn't know about ditching someone on facebook...

bye!

Good Morning Hurshy.

7:31 am

bye Owl

7:31 am

hiya

Owl, good luck wiht your hair today.

7:32 am

Hi Hurshy!

LOL i used to stress about it mightily, silly , huh

*poof*

7:32 am

Dr God can ditch people here.

7:32 am

yes, but that might not use the same term.

7:33 am

So what do you mean?

7:33 am

unfr6

scrabbler she is trying to put a de or a UN in front of the word you found earlier.

7:33 am

Aha, I get it now.

7:34 am

i feel so lost without a nice S to pluralize things...

7:34 am

I blocked some former co-workers on FB.

7:34 am

Or -ed and -er. Yesterday's grid kept us busy.

7:35 am

we can -ed a few things today

7:35 am

and -er perhaps too, i haven't got to the bottom yet

7:35 am

Yes, I have

7:36 am

name that proper noun! actor dennis of "the natural" and the remake of "the parent trap"

7:36 am

wait, was it the natural or the rookie? i can't remember the names of all the stupid baseball movies i don't watch...

7:36 am

Quaid

7:37 am

ding ding ding!

7:37 am

Not The Natural--that was Redford, and filmed here in Bflo.

7:37 am

then it must be the rookie

7:38 am

I am leaving 31 for later, bye dear babblers

7:39 am

Bye Annie. Say hi to Bobby.

7:53 am

so what's up with that upper E?

7:53 am

I have stared at it too

7:55 am

i have the prettiest, most softest, most nicest mitty kitty in the whole wide world on my lap

7:55 am

en6/21

7:55 am

flosey to the rescue!

7:55 am

How nice!! I have a cute bunny behind me, stretched out on her belly, with her head down.

7:56 am

eureka

7:56 am

Are the last 4 ltrs a stand alone word?

7:56 am

and fireworks! hate to say it, but I didn't enjoy this grid, too many silly words - yesterday's 300 words was most enjoyable.

7:56 am

no

7:56 am

no scrabbs

7:56 am

i'm not enjoying it so far

7:57 am

Yippee Flosey!

7:57 am

can you tell us what the long ones start with flosey?

7:57 am

I agree--mostly staring. Yesterday I typed like crazy and that is fun.

7:58 am

hi

7:58 am

Monkey found en6!

7:58 am

You can't even compare this grid to yesterday's.

10:21 am

there are 2 ai 4/s

10:25 am

nevermind, thanks I looked at it wrong

10:25 am

hi ru. I thought of you yesterday when Teulu decided to blow bubbles for about an hour in a bucket of water.

Whoooo Hooooo Mom!!!!!!

10:25 am

still not easy but hanging in - thanks for asking

10:25 am

lol red.. that is unusual behavior

10:26 am

pu 7? anyone.. the big p's are escaping me

It was. I think I started it, by putting some floating toys in the bucket.

He may have thought that there were more under the water...

hi all. ruru: pu7 is female genitalia

10:28 am

?? not a word I know then

do you want more of a clue?

10:28 am

yes please.

10:28 am

pu + comfy room with Tv/books + first name your baby calls you

pu + where a lion lives plus baby talk for father

OK I am now walking out the door, 37 left. I wish todays had been like yesterdays!

10:29 am

thanks sally.. I didn't know that word.

10:30 am

me neither, what a word

well it's the Latin plural really

10:30 am

so if you are ready to make love.. would you say I have an agenda with the pu7?

rofl ruru. I wouldn't try that as a chat-up line if I were you.

10:31 am

try it out and let us know how it works ruru

10:31 am

done...any clues needed or does Sally have it covered?

10:31 am

is that where the slang comes from? putang?

10:31 am

Shirl...i think it's poontang

10:31 am

de7 please

10:31 am

pe 7 please

10:31 am

or is it pe 8

10:31 am

ha! shows what i know

10:32 am

no pe7

10:32 am

pe..cons and relative

I don't know that slang word, but I wouldn't have thought so. Comes from the Latin verb to be ashamed, I think.

10:33 am

the pu7 is a medical term

10:33 am

I think I need the first un 6/24 too please

de7: to remove the dye from something.

10:33 am

nm

10:33 am

I found it

10:34 am

I just read the chog and had to pick myself up off the floor from laughing!

10:34 am

what ruby?

<innocent> why is that ruby?

10:34 am

I am just wishing ruru luck with his agenda!!!

10:34 am

thanks sally

10:34 am

hi ruby - how are you today

10:35 am

hi mom, 11 DAYS!! Yay

lol ruby.

10:35 am

thanks

11 days till son arrives?

10:35 am

we are having our much-needed rain and everything is green!!!

Greening up here too. My new strawberry bed has flowers!

10:36 am

no, I meant mom's non-smoking. Guests start arriving Wed for a week and then maybe son the next week, but his plans are still not sure!

10:37 am

My husband bought strawberry plants by mistake (I asked for raspberries!). Do they need a lot of sun? Good soil? Anything special?

Oh, very well done to Mom then!

10:37 am

I have to go - will save my lucky 13 left for later - bye all

10:37 am

The old raspberry plants moved over into the blackberries and have sort of taken over, very annoying

10:37 am

thanks Sally - happy babbling all

10:37 am

bye mom!

They need sun, protection from slugs if necessary and possibly protection from birds. Ours have to take their chances :-)

10:38 am

bye Mom

bye mom

10:38 am

We have so many fruit trees for the birds plus husband feeds them sunflower seeds 3X/day, that I'm not worried about them.

We don't have things in this garden that need too much tlc

10:39 am

One year, I put netting over the blackberries (dumb city girl) and birds would come under the next with me while I was picking.

10:39 am

net*

Good morning all, you guys are so fast for me, I didn't get the clues for pe7,de7 or one of the pu7's the one that is not the medical one. I need help, please?

10:40 am

and we have the worst cherry tree; it's beautiful, great blossoms, big cherries but with no taste whatsoever

10:40 am

hi marc de7: remove the dye from

Yes, Ruby didn't quite get that clue so I will work on it again

there is only one pu7, marc

pe7: prefix relating to feet (three letters) plus not my aunt

10:42 am

*waving back* Just got here, Scrabbs.

1:20 pm

Hi Judi!

1:20 pm

1:21 pm

Go Mary go!

1:21 pm

Just had to dispatch the Qu's.

1:21 pm

I am using the list and still stuck on many.

1:22 pm

Hubby just called from his bike race. They're done, but he has to take his friend to the hospital. Apparently said friend crashed during the race and broke his shoulder. The poor guy only has one arm to begin with.

1:23 pm

Oh, no! Awful! Ouch, ouch! He is brave to race with 1 arm.

1:24 pm

Yes. He has a prosthetic arm. He broke the shoulder of his good arm though. His wife is probably going to dope slap him.

1:25 pm

Is this a road race or mtn biking?

1:25 pm

Mountain bike. My husband introduced him to it a few years ago. They're good buds.

1:25 pm

yes scrabbs,had the study,though how they can get an accurate read with me only in a light doze cause im wired for sound is beyond me.they say they got a good test and my family dr will have results in 2 weeks

1:26 pm

i do know i snored the wife right out of the bed last night

1:26 pm

I LOVE mtn biking --been doing it since before it became popular. I live next to a park with several miles of trails. I stay in the double tracks--single tracks are too scary.

1:27 pm

In fact, I was researching new mtn bikes last night.

1:27 pm

Well, Crossy, I suspect you will get set up for CPAP soon and realize how nice it is to sleep soundly all night and be well-rested.

1:28 pm

My hubby's totally into it. This was his first race with the "new" bike he built himself.

1:28 pm

it is rough,i get about 3 hours a night

1:28 pm

Poor Crossy! You have sleep apnea?

1:29 pm

It is dangerous for you, Crossy--increased risk of stroke + heart disease. Good for you for having the test!

1:29 pm

Judi, how old is your husband?

1:29 pm

scrabbs,im going to be picking up a ocean kayak this summer to help with my weight loss;))))))

1:29 pm

nasty apnea judi,im too fat

1:29 pm

i have 250 pounds on a frame that should be holding 190

1:30 pm

You will love it, Crossy! Such relaxation and exercise.

1:30 pm

He is 51, Scrabbs.

1:30 pm

Do you have to have your tonsils and adenoids removed, Crossy?

1:30 pm

a friend reccomended i look at a 17 footer

1:31 pm

tonsils yes,adnoids not sure

1:31 pm

And I shall be 51 in Sept. I saw some mtn bikes that cost $6000! I just want a basic, fromt-suspension $350-400 bike--good enough for me.

1:31 pm

just hope it can hold my bulk

1:32 pm

The long kayaks are streamlined and go faster, but the challenge is getting it on + off your car and getting it into/out of water.

1:32 pm

One of the cops I work with had it really bad. He had his tonsils, adenoids and uvula removed! He also had gastric bypass surgery. He lost 65 lbs in two weeks!

1:32 pm

wow!

1:32 pm

hello all, not liking this grid

1:32 pm

id want something a tad wider till i lose some weight

1:32 pm

Wow!! I could do that if I had a lower extremity amputated.

1:32 pm

Hi Peri. Yes, it is challenging!

1:33 pm

You and me both, Scrabbs.

1:33 pm

Crossy, start lifting weights. Males, with so much muscle mass, can lose wt quickly with wt lifting.

1:34 pm

1:34 pm

Peri: Fr6: buddy, pal, chum.

1:37 pm

4:04 pm

pained - painted

4:04 pm

Thanks for the help on the body part, like Boo I was out in left field on that one

4:19 pm

well done Mom .... keep it up.

no. but i am hiking to walmart anon

As long as I get the 39 dollar deal it would be a deal.

what is walmart anon?

then perhaps an ordinary walk

4:19 pm

OK TO - need to keep busy - could still rip one out of someone hand if they were close enough - but been good - no cheating - close to killing spouse - comes with the territory

i feel for you!

ok peeps see you later

Perhaps you do need a vacation to Amelia Island.

4:20 pm

good night TO

4:20 pm

hi/bye TO...

4:20 pm

bye TO.

4:20 pm

cleaning is free - Florida is now - so sad!

4:21 pm

MNH...you are doing wonderfully well...! CHeers for MNH!

4:21 pm

4:21 pm

Where is Amelia Island

4:22 pm

thanks pav

In Florida, its a nice little vacation spot, lotso f tennis, wildlife, boating.

4:22 pm

HIP HIP HOORAH!!!!

but its hot like crazy now. so I would not recommend doing anything outside.

4:23 pm

was in florida in Feb visiting sick friend - got stranded down there due to snow in mid east - Oh shucks! Got to enjoy more days with friends. Cant wait to go back. When I was there it never got over 60 (still wore my sandals)

we had a chilly winter, but its 91 now. which is alright but I wish it would cool a little at night.

4:24 pm

I was in Lake Wales - where are you from there red?

I live about 22 mies north of Disney.

4:26 pm

not bad - they are about 40 or so southwest

4:26 pm

self * plan extended visit to red.....

LOL, Can I admit that I have been to Disney only one time and I rather did not like it...magic kingdom and Epcot.

4:27 pm

since there do not seem to be any babbler meets in the northeast - will have to save money for babbler meet in the south

We could do a nice meet up at downtown disney which is free, and has a great Lego store.

4:27 pm

O heard about something in DC..is taht too far for you?

4:27 pm

without kids - gets old - universal is cool and seaworld is very nice

but I am not planning ANYTHING! Nothing!!! I am lazy!

4:28 pm

there is a meet in Baltimore coming up - no money or time left this year

4:28 pm

another meet on the west coast later this summer

4:29 pm

...and I'm home stuck with dogs...no sitter that I could trust...I'd have to plan a trip with them...

4:29 pm

So wish I could be lazy but this is spring and starting tomorrow will be running 2 kids to baseball/softball/track etc

Mom there are many many Babblers in the Boston Area, which is not too far from NH, I think if you planned it some might come.

Pav, I dont think your dogs would like my dog.

4:30 pm

what is your family Pav. I have two black labs that my friends fight to have when we go away

4:30 pm

Joey might...Precious, not so much...

4:31 pm

I will have to pay attention to profiles more. Boston is about an hour and a half away - definately doable if the time is right with no games.

he spent an hour last nnight dumping his head in a water bucket and blowing bubbles. I dont get it myself.

4:32 pm

Precious purebred Lhasa Apso, and Joey is a Lhasa mix...Precious is the quintessential Lhasa; Joey is a people person /dog...think Joey Tribiani from Fr6s

4:32 pm

your dog did that - I thought you were talking about a kid this morning - lol

Pam, wht, and also trif, AKnitter, and Car.eeyore all live within your area.

4:32 pm

everytime I looked outside today, my young lab was laying in the kiddie pool - too funny

yes, my dog....no children for me!

4:33 pm

i think Trif and maybe car are sisters

they are related the three of them knitter, car and eeyore.

4:35 pm

I got to go - daughter needs computer - have a great night all - see you tomorrow

bye Mom needs, congrats on day 11.

4:36 pm

thanks red - bye all - Pav - lhasa's are so cute and cuddly

and I have finished.

perhaps I shoudl do a bit of cleaning and de furring.

ahh back from our nice drive up on the mountain.took the mrs to all the secret places i know,nice thick forests areas where the deer moss grows nice and dense ,you can sometimes see mamma deer and her fawn if you are lucky,then off to where there is this jumble of boulders from a old rock fall right near the road and there is this tiny waterfall that streams down the ferns that grow out of it and the water pools into this natural little basin before trickling off back into the trees,then took her to this massive part of the forest where the evergreens and the pines grow right up to the road in a solid mass so thick that it block view of all its secrets,but you can smell the ever green and pine and leaves and the water,you can literally smell the colour green...like i say nothing finer than resetting your zen

hard booze doesn't have many calories, does it?

you can have beer? hmmmmm . . .

6:26 pm

anyhow, the diet I'm on, I trade alcohol for dessert

6:26 pm

If I have a drink, I get no chocolate

6:27 pm

usually I opt for the chocolate

that's like saying you can have cake but no mousse

6:29 pm

hard booze has much sugar and it slow metabolism leslie

6:33 pm

oh ok

6:34 pm

on the other hand one beer or a glass of wine a day is actually good for you

had some cake today that had mousse in it. bleeeaaacccchhhh

helps kill germs too

6:35 pm

I've not heard that about beer. Except for my dad's doctor, who was trying to get him to get more nutrients.

must be some nutrition in beer, cuz it made out of grain or whatever

6:36 pm

7:08 pm

7:08 pm

Frick or Fritz?

7:09 pm

frick

7:09 pm

David Cofarro's wines are really nice

7:10 pm

nice voignier, grenach blanc, a red blend called c3 that makes a great everyday wine, carignane that is to die for

7:10 pm

I haven't had a Frick wine in a looong time

7:10 pm

good wines for teh price range

7:10 pm

oh.. glad you are supporting California's wine economy.

7:12 pm

i brought some david cofaro home, and still get sehesia delivered occasionally

7:13 pm

his wines are more powerful and extracted I think

7:13 pm

8:15 pm

what's up, stid?

8:15 pm

how was the play?

8:15 pm

great photo, stid

8:17 pm

I think, it's that I don't really WANT to have the meeting for the particular quarter-long project that I am working on with two lovely but very young people who really haven't got a clue about how to pull anything together and don't want to follow my lead on anything either. We are halfway through the quarter and after spending 5 weeks doing it their way we are really not much further along than the day the assignment was made. With four weeks to go. And I feel responsible for helping pull it together when the "teamwork" piece isn't going to work with this particular personality mix.

8:17 pm

thanks seain.

8:17 pm

the play was great, pini

8:18 pm

sorry to hear about the "team", stid...but, I have faith in you that, as a leader, they'll come around and all will be well...

8:18 pm

So... the group project is going to flop, and I will be partly responsible because quite honestly I don't have the energy to go head to head with the one who has a personality as strong as mine and the other one rarely cares to come up with an actual idea.

8:18 pm

congrats to S#2 ;)

8:19 pm

I don't want to be the leader, seain. The fact is, I AM old enough to be their mother, and they respond to my suggestions the way any young 20-something responds to a mother.

8:19 pm

how trying, stid

8:19 pm

oops. sorry, that was pini who told me to be leader. *sigh* see how frazzled I am!

8:19 pm

yeah, i ran into that in a my Arabic class a bit, too

8:19 pm

*sigh*...kids these days

8:19 pm

no worries, stid...understandable

8:20 pm

may I give an example?

8:20 pm

i get huge benes schooling at this age, and they throw away a great opportunity :)

8:20 pm

sure

8:20 pm

please do

8:21 pm

(how many, dc?)

8:22 pm

In trying to make the "big idea" (consumerism and the destruction of the environment) meaningful to the imaginary students we need to write lessons for, I mentioned something that is a BIG DEAL where I come from, and in the community I am "student" teaching in. The strong personality classmate said that we can't pick something that isn't relevant to the lives of the students in the imaginary classroom. So I said, "So let's pick a school and look for things that would help the kids see the connections." (several times I said this). She completely ignored, then looked uncomfortable, then said she didn't think we needed to????

8:22 pm

Now, this is for an IMAGINARY classroom. No actual students are going to be traumatized by any of the 10 lesson plans we are supposed to come up with!!!!

8:23 pm

So much for "opening" one's mind to possibilities...

8:23 pm

What do you think about me just going ahead and writing the three lesson plans that will fit the big idea as *I* would potentially use them... the community I will teach in will be the one where this is an issue.

8:24 pm

...I'm guessing she'll have a hard time finding employment as a teacher (and that's if she actually earns a degree)

8:24 pm

I think you should, stid...that would be my suggestion...

8:24 pm

This classmate shoots down or finds fault with everything I do. It is getting to be comical. Of course, we didn't choose our groups -- I would not have chosen to work with her.

8:25 pm

The truth is... she might be an excellent teacher, but... I am glad I will never be in a school where she will teach.

8:26 pm

Personally, I'd cover my own butt and do a plan that answers the challenge especially since the team members don't appear to be willing to work together

8:26 pm

I wouldn't want to be a student in her class, stid...

8:26 pm

...I don't do well in learning environments where there is no room for the teacher learn as much from the students during their time together.

8:27 pm

Anyway, enough of that. Pini, if you were a 5th grader studying the effects of outside investors on local economies (you know, the industries that use local resources but spoil the land/water/air for the residents), would you want to explore the ways that your own community is affected?

8:28 pm

I would do that pini, but I believe the biggest part of this assignment is seeing if we can work as colleagues.

8:28 pm

I would learn the lesson better if I could "relate" to it!

8:28 pm

*banging head on keyboard*

8:28 pm

okay, then I am writing my three lessons for the kids in the rural community I come from and will teach in. *determined mama look*

8:29 pm

* cheers stid on *

8:29 pm

but first I will get down to 25...

8:29 pm

;)

8:30 pm

Stid, if this problem group member was a student in your class, how would you deal with her, in getting her to work and play well with others?

8:30 pm

(and I'm open-minded enough to say I'm wrong if someone can come up with a different argument) =]

8:30 pm

hey LBD.

8:30 pm

now...down to the grid...

8:30 pm

*thinking about LBD's question*

8:30 pm

* excellent question *

8:30 pm

(wish I'd thought of it)

8:30 pm

and yes, I would go ahead and write up my own lesson plans to fulfill my class requirements. I'd also add a note to the instructor explaining the dynamics of the group, and why you are doing your assignment alone

8:31 pm

I honestly don't know LBD. I would perhaps give her the direction that if she cannot come up with a specific alternative that she needs to let the other team members try their own ideas.

8:31 pm

I would not allow her to torpedo the other team members' thoughts. And I would have stepped in sooner than I am actually doing...

8:32 pm

I don't have the option to fly solo on this, but I can talk to my instructor (who knows our group is behind).

8:34 pm

I would try and apply some of your problem solving techniques to this young person, explaining that her unwillingness to work as a group is becoming tiring and unproductive.

8:34 pm

just curious...who does the other team member lean more toward?

8:34 pm

(not that it makes much difference)

8:35 pm

i'm just guessing but if the instructor is aware of the group dynamics s/he may be observing how each one of you works out the problem. Looking for a solid leader isn't always the direct answer.

8:35 pm

I haven't been able to figure out, pini. Privileged middle-class background, parents both professional teachers (so thinks she knows it all), did peace corps for a little while "teaching" English, but not long out of her bachelor's for sure.

8:36 pm

I am thinking confrontation IS the next step, since gentle persuasion isn't working!

8:36 pm

Good Evening All. I was just reading the chog; and I agree with LBD; but I'd also let the other team member know that being wishy washy doesn't help!

8:36 pm

hey Nef!

8:37 pm

Hi Stid! (((stid))) I'm SO glad that I'm not in your shoes!

8:38 pm

yes Nef, it is pretty clear that assertiveness is needed for the third member. In contrast, I get along well with several other classmates who have strong personalities, who call me on my sh** and yet also let me know that they support my attempts... and I reciprocate for them

8:38 pm

hi Nef

8:39 pm

So it's not a "strong personalities clashing" thing, but an unwillingness to give AND take. She just wants to give and give...

8:39 pm

hi LBD! I liked your advice to stid (I was raised by a teacher who was County Supt. of Schools and had a Masters' degree in remedial English

8:39 pm

scenario: You to MissyPooh...It appears that you have all the answers, what are your suggestions to fulfill this requirement? Since you don't like the ideas I've offered, I'm waiting for some constructive ideas from you, so we can move on with the assignment.

8:40 pm

(and that was back in the "old" days too!)

8:40 pm

rofl... yep.

8:41 pm

I don't think it's necessarally strong personalities, I think little miss is used to getting her way.

8:41 pm

okay, down to 42 and completely stalled out.

8:41 pm

listing early

8:42 pm

Don't you wonder if sometimes the teachers put dissimilar students together to see if they CAN get through it?

8:42 pm

un6? (either)

8:42 pm

Yes, and I knew this would happen -- a smaller project last quarter also threw us together, and was almost as much fun as this one.

8:42 pm

yes, i would do that to especially meek students, who otherwise would be mowed over by the more assertive ones.

oooo that looks like a BR phantom!

8:54 pm

Sesquipedalianism appears in Horace's Ars Poetica, meaning "words a foot-and-a-half long," as an ironic criticism.

8:54 pm

9:04 pm

I could definitely use some choclits right about now.

9:04 pm

9:04 pm

where is stiddie when you need her she always has choclits

9:04 pm

I'm going to le4/5 a hand with a story of clues for my dear Babble fr6/30s.After having a fe4/9 with hubby he went out to go play a go4/9 game & I sat down to Babble. He go 6/36 for a long time so it was peaceful babbling.I saw the small grid and prayed to the lo4/5 that I'd finish,but I was a du5/16 today babbling. My brain was all cl 4/7ed up today because I could not fi 4/8 some of the easiest words. Had to use the ai4/5 of my monkeys. I had to fl 4/9 some of them because their behavior was so un 6/24 today.I babbled today drinking coca-co 4/5 since the weather wasn't so co 4/5. It was much co 6/21 last weekend. I wanted to babble in the nu4/5.But then the neighbors would be og5/14 and probably og4/6 at me. When I finally got fireworks I did a happy da 5/14 on the fl 5/16.I gave monkeys bananas for their ro4/4 in helping me out. I hope everybody has a fi 4/7 evening. Goodbye to all!

9:08 pm

9:09 pm

ty dc

9:09 pm

ty

9:11 pm

Thank you Min. I love your stories, whether I'm using them or not.

9:11 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow

(Monkeys are when you haven't a clue what the word is but you just keep typing guesses in anyway

9:13 pm

house guest meet up and celebration this coming saturday

9:13 pm

When we type madly guessing for words that may be in the grid, we call that "monkeying" the word fuzzy.

9:13 pm

*checks the pb larder for a fresh monkey for fuzzy*

9:14 pm

okay, sometimes I put them in the chat box when I forget to switch, now I know what you mean.

9:14 pm

9:15 pm

huh?

9:15 pm

spider monkey or squirrel monkey?

9:15 pm

Fuzzybunny, you're asking all of the questions that I asked as a new babbler. Congrats on going pro right away.I waited about a year before I upgraded to pro

9:16 pm

i lurked for 6 months myself before writing in the chog

9:16 pm

i lurked for more than a year before chatting

9:16 pm

*puts pillows on fl*** for all the fainting babblers*

9:16 pm

Had to upgrade quickly because I was having so much fun playing and I really wanted to be a part of this.

9:17 pm

I'm a shy person,but I entered the chog immediately.

9:18 pm

the nice thing is that you can be more silly in the chog with less embarrassment

9:18 pm

I appreciate how friendly everyone is and I really appreciate all of the explanations. A lot of things I have been able to figure out on my own, but some still mystify me.

9:18 pm

Fuzzybunny, do ya know about daily icon themes yet

9:18 pm

No

9:18 pm

I am very shy and very retiring ...

9:18 pm

I upgraded the first day I found Babble. Loved it right off the bat and wanted to dupport it

9:18 pm

* cough *

9:18 pm

*chokes*

9:24 pm

9:24 pm

any help for the e on the bottom row?

9:24 pm

The coast is lovely, it keeps all the tourists away from the north!

9:24 pm

You are welcome. Now it is just a matter of figuring out how to change your icon.Do you know how to do that fuzzybunny.If not,there is an explanation when you click on "My Account" at the top of this page.

9:24 pm

sprite + not out

9:25 pm

we were young and in love so not too bad as tourists go

9:25 pm

the coast is lovely, but inland has a lat going for it, fuzzy

9:25 pm

Oh, I agree. We rarely go to the coast. We live on a isolated lake.

9:25 pm

Ok, I said goodnight and then started chatting. I do must goto bed! Goodnight again to my fellow babblers

9:33 pm

hello jmc. I thought of you in church this morning....the adult sunday school is doing a five or 6 week study on the christian/methodist relationship to social justice, and I am sure you would have been a hugely informative person to have there

I am suppose to be mentioned in the social justice collection for the united meth.

9:33 pm

Night Dorens/

Gees I am rude How are you?

10:06 pm

I'm back. Son's math homework finally done. At least for one more night! I have 12 left to find and I still don't have nbt. Does anyone have a clue for the I on the bottom line?

10:06 pm

in + **w your boat

Fuzzy I welcome you in my house to do my homework

10:08 pm

I monkeyed that one for a long time and I did not get it, thanks.

10:08 pm

yvw

10:09 pm

I only specialize in math. I love math and my son hates it and will not put any effort into it. He has hit the pre-algebra stage along with the "when will I ever use this" whine.

10:09 pm

I remember that "whine"

10:09 pm

nbt!

10:09 pm

well done, fuzzy

I failed basic maths

10:11 pm

Yes, I tell him that since he does not know what he will be doing in 10 years, he needs to be prepared. As well as the fact that math teaches you how to think in a very logical way, a skill that is useful no matter what you do.

My parents taught me basic Math and English. i just don't get logic

10:12 pm

I should've said, "I remember that "whine"...and am glad I pushed through it. It helps me manage $1.5M a year."

10:13 pm

(too bad the $1.5M isn't in my own bank account)

I am officially a mathtard

10:14 pm

Hello...

10:14 pm

not possible, herin...if you can shop, you can't be horrible at math! :)

10:14 pm

hi jellen

Hi Jellen.

I don't know my times tables

10:14 pm

me either...but I figured out a way to get around that flaw...

I add up in a very known logical way

10:14 pm

everyone can learn math, you just have to have a need to know it.

10:15 pm

Be the grid friend or foe?

Irritating

10:15 pm

it can be done, jellen ;)

10:15 pm

I say foe, I have had 11 left for about 20 mins

I changed schools before school one taught time tables and the new one had already taught it

10:15 pm

what do you need, fuzzy?

10:16 pm

I'm surprised they didn't bring you up to speed, herin

10:16 pm

I am failing miserably with all of the n's
