Hmmm -- wonder what that would be, west. 3 am?
Fuzzy hello and adorable kitty
it's midnight for you..do you know what time you were born?
100 down
1:35 pm in Peking, China, west. Much more considerate than my son, who arrived at 3:52 am in Montreal.

hi speedy dart
Yikes dart!
hi west volley jilli
he must have been in a hurry to meet you
Dee is that a AN 6/7?
enable isn't accepting Boot-ay...
I have a question. If your kid stole a mobile phone and admitted, would you a) go on Judge Judy and say my kid shouldn't pay for the stuff he did on the phone or b) slap your kid upside the head and make him pay for the costs of the phone stolen?
Hi Ruru
hi there herin
yes mlf
make him pay herin
i got it but i think in this grid its 2 AN 7s' which are the same totals
Mum is saying he shouldn't and that in a nutshell what is wrong today.
what did Judge Judy say?
N B T
I think she is amazed that someone would actually go on a tv show to admit something like taht
wtg meli
nbt
yah Meli
nice icon west
wtg flosey
Judy is all for kids being responsible for their actions
and mel
I need that stoopid o
which one?.
wtg flosey and ty as is yours
Jilly I give you this: http://tinyurl.com/2awdas9
bo 7 if not called
have you informed all the other bridge players that jilli is to have a grand slam?
been called if we only have one
good idea west
hi and nbt
hi and wtg josh
that's cute, herin
hi and wtg josh
I see you are wearing a tie for me
I can't change profile at the moment
I still need the O in the middle of the top row.
ob 6/27 jili
my nemesis too jilli
oh, it would be a long one -- thanks dee and hi dee hi
one of them is an OA
thank you dee ( I hope you don't mind if I steal jilli's clue)
yw, hi, and happy birthday !
please do west and howdy!
They asked O. J. Simpson if he was going to get married again.
hi dee lol
He said he might take another st4 at it.
OH>> HAAPPPPPYYYYYYY BIRTHDAY JILLI
doug is he still with that girl that looks like his ex?
yuck doug lol
ty ty ruru :)
who in their right mind would marry him?
they are price slashing wedding gowns if he is interested doug
I don't know, I was just telling a bad joke
someone already did ruru
very apt though, doug
si that OB 6 somethign we should know?
did you do anything special today birthday girl
nbt
Happy birthday, jilli!
what kind of word is that??
thank you doug!
I believe she has 2 hours to go until she ages a year - no?
ML it's not anything I've ever heard
thanks west
Handing bananas to monkeys for finding ob6
ruru, had a lunch with friends today -- no plans for tomorrow, which is the real day -- except bridge in the evening, where west has wished me a grand slam (nice in duplicate fo nobody else gets one)
ok I have 2 bo 7 now
that's a good question kje if jilli was born at 1:37? Peking time then ?
p.m.*
nice pic, jilli
jilli were you born before or after your birthday?
you're right, kje, plus a few more hours to 1:35 May 18 here.
Can i ask why do people put their home address in facebook
I think it's after, west, lol!
thanks mel as soon as you said you had just found the second BO 7 i found it too
I'm glad you know what I meant lol
herin beats me and its soemthing you are not supposed to do for safety purposes
herin it's because they are not being careful
i jsut said the same thing but i n a different way west lol
I read the article Crossy posted and there is a lot of good info in there
Well this girl has her business address listed but it is her home adress
a lot of people do things like that on fb herin
I mean if i ran a business from home it would be my name and a business mobile number different to one listed in a phone book
nbt -- not exactly an everyday word, that ob6
herin but if its a home base business then i guess you would have to unless you got a different phone line and number
...hansn't the slightest idea about the ob..
me either
i dont either ruru
found the ca 7 though
Opps What I mean is I would have my business number listed under business and I wouldn't have my home address on the webpage. Maybe a PO box
sounds like another more common word that starts with the same 2 letters
what does the ca start with?
I object to the ob6 having one letter different
ob 6/27... looks like what is said in court when a lawyer doesn't like question asked... just need to change third consonant
good one jili
oh.. thank you
GOT IT
should we ob6-tify jilli tonight?
ty
do we all agree it's a dumb word?
west what>?
moat
ta :)
moats
oops
that's an okay word kje lol
lol kje.. off you go...
well, it does have an obscure meaning
ar 6 and ar 7
can't! if i go to the pb i will fall asleep!
west you asked what the CA word started with?lol
been called dee
ga7
k ty
ruru that is a GA 6/7 right?
yes...
kje I have a question
cool thanks ruru i just got it
can one only get an allergic reaction to penicillin if you've already been given some?
or can it happen the first time around?
usually not the first time... but yes, the second... and then each time tends to worsen slightly
you have to have been exposed before to get the reaction... so usually occurs second dose
our friend's brother just died from a reaction so sad
100 to go brb
pi7
wow... that is unusual these days
wow...
waht does the 8 begin with?
I know his poor wife couldn't do anything it happened so quickly
*not taking penicilin ever again*
what oops
don't be daft ru
wow.
sorry, west
that's really awful.. how would you know if you were that allergic
ty kje
I mean it though kje.. not a drug I would want to have to take
they live in England not that it matters
ic8 mlf
Thanks Josh
thank you josh do you have it?
ic7/8 to be exact
yes, it is a compound word
ru - lots of abx are pcn derivatives... likely you have had many
Ok how is that one word when Sea Horse is 2
ty josh
hahaha ok cant believe that is a real word either
Kje that is terrible news
ty for the ic7/8 -- I know of someone killed racing one
ty josh
oh sorry jilli
thanks josh i just found both of them as well
ok really afk this time had to find that ic word
okay i have 135 left i am out poof
Opps I nearly said a real word as my phontam
good job ML see you next time
Later MLF
'sok, west --it was years ago, the father of a friend.
thanks jilli, for ic7 and 8
well done, mlf -- bye!

are you a secret rapper ruru?
what does booya mean kje?
I just found sprite's shoe
like... gotcha... or so there... said as an exclamation
***bum bah bum.. Iam rururocks ... turn back the clocks..
booya comes from the Movie a Scent of a woman, he said it all the time
* I would suck as a rapper *
per urban dictionary... an exclamatory statement, often said when someone is extremely overjoyed. Often people do a hand movement simultaneously
I learn so many things in babble
apparently, per wiki - it is also a large stew
yeah .. well it shouldn't be the hand gesture I get from you all the time.
never saw scent of a woman
also a stew like food....lot of churches havethem
it is ??
my hands are busy typing : p
ROFL
Scent of a Woman is a good show you should watch it

It's Foyle's War...west was close

yes -- the retired policeman's name was Foyle
Barb. Take time out if you need. Ask a friend or family member or someone that is able to help. Don't be afraid to ask
when the robbers were caught they were foyle'd again?
thanks nan we must get the same here then
clever ruru lol
not afraid to ask...just not sure who to ask is the problem

Can the hospital or the local social services help?
clever indeed ruru, and not missing a beat!

Darn -- missed Foyle's War tonight, missed Doc Martin the last 2 Thursdays. :(
surely they wouldn't jsut leave you alone to cope

Hello all - I have 100 left but am missing the middle O for nbt - clue please

"So you got, caught with a flat, Well, how about that? Well babies, don't you...panic! By the light of the night, It'll all seem all right! I'll get you a ******* mechanic!"
West Hopefully the Government wil support Oscars law and make it a law
I hope so too herin
I am sick of the RSPCA and police not doing enough
they try though
West more like trying.
some people laws are ridiculous a man had a farm and was behind on his payments so they made him leave and all his animals nearly died because they wouldn't let him go there just to feed them
Poor animals.
That is a bit stupid
he had a big heart and had rescued so many of them.. the SPCA did step in and made them allow him to go there
bureaucrats
There was a bad place shut down here recently and sadly the public still think the dogs went to happy homes
no kidding jilli
and they didn't?
West no they didn't the bureaucrats didn't take the dogs of them. All 59 were shot and burned in the middle of the night. That is the clean details. My friend wont tell me the details or the pictures (she is involved in the raids) as she knows I will go and do something bad to these people
I can't stop yawning
Swap you yawning for putting in words that don't excist
oh herin how terrible
(not about those aminals)
should I give you your surprise now jilli?
one of the raiders did try and take a sick dog away and the police handed the dog back to owners. This is why Oscars Law is important.
or will you make it until midnight your time?
that would be lovely, west :)
but I think I'll make it to idnight if you can make it to 3!
okay then brb
happy birthday jilli
Thanks, katie!
happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday, dear jilliiiiiiii... happy birthday to you!
and good morning all
Is it about 11:30 where you are, jilli?
Hey Sprite
Hello katie
you're one beautiful birthday girl, jilli
and here it is !!
I like
That's LOVELY, sprite!
:)
ROFL, west!!!
hello katie and sprite
he asked me to post it
Happy Birthday jilli!!
Jill it isn't a birthday without a cake : http://tinyurl.com/23vhfdn
love the icon westie.
thanks FM ( don't tell Haz, okay ? )
*grin*
wonderful icon, west, and great pic, lady :)
hi FM
HI FM
ttfn all...happy birthday again, jilli!
Evening herin and morning spritey sprite.
h my goodness -- some cake! some harlequin Dane!
and of course Dane is is the grid as usual and doesn't count as usual!
good night doug sleep well
are you feeling birthday-y already, jilli?
Well they should have included the dog. Seems that the dog was not included and took an objection
Night Doug
I sure am, sprite! All this attention has woken me up!
wonderful :D
I have a question. When someone posts a link in babble can the rest of you just click on it or do you have to open a new window and copy and paste as I do ?
just like you, west, copy and paste in new window
have to copy and paste it westie.
oh good thought it was an apple thing
me too
keeps spammers from our site
I never thought of that
can you just imagine?
west, that puppy George is holding looks almost like a Dane pup
almost but it's a pug
it is a pug, yes, but you pasted it in. Originally it was Spangler, of course.
Happy birthday to Jillibus!!!
no way haz wouldn't have allowed it
hi rubyfoo
Time for another mug of tea, the first one hasn't kicked in yet BRB
her Spangler is too loyal
west, come on, I have the original :) (no kidding)
O tea. I like this idea
Hi Ruby
hello sprite!
hi westford
hi ruby I'm off to clean the oven
see you soon, Fm
hello herin
aw west, you really leave us alone for THAT?
is FM still here? hi and bye then
Someone get me a tea please.
ovn? clean?
Yes -- and I was given a card yesterday by a multi-pug owner which was hilarious -- a pug under a pink hair dryer with pink rollers on its head and a pink cape -- really pug-ugly. The captions said "You're a classic beauty".
lollll pure genius, jilli.
darn, west missed that.
hi ruby :)
now that I have learned to spot taenia, I demand taenic is allowed too.
I really should not be watching a Seafood cooking show. My stomach is growling
off to work, have a good birthday jilli x
Have a great day Katie
I didn't sing (thank goodness, jilli), but I wish you the happiest of birthdays
there is this miracle button on the telly that will free you from the ugly images immediately, lady ;)
hi and bye katie
bye Katie, have a good day at word
bye katie, and thanks again!
No Sprite these are good images very yummy and tummy growling great
hello babblers, mayi please have clues for the in5 and the last pi6/21?

Hello Andree

greetings gort
hi ruby
howdy doo to you roobyfoo
watcha jilli
BTW, the black boy is Max. My DIL showed me how to reduce the photo!
Ruby so cute
lovely, rubyfoo
nice to see you've found out how to chnge pix, ruby -- and hello Max.
happy birthday, jilli and many more!
in5 anyone?
thanks, chic!
I have an in5 that means not up to the job, not effective
Morning ruby!
hi chic
of course, smiting brow, thanks sprite
yvw
what about the last pi6/21?
hiya, spritey, how's by you?
Hello chic.
I am good, thanks chic. And you?
hi FM!
sorry, just started gortmold, and no idea about firsts or lasts.
Jilli still there?
still kicking, I guess, sprite
Yes, andree
Haven't seen you in ages chic, trust all is well with you.
fair enough sprite, here's a freebie: this grid is divinely easy, not sa7 at all
Hope you have had a great birthday jilli!
are you doing anything special for your birthday?
that is a good sign, chic, but sounds like things could be a lot better too
also, the ocular orbit of your dog or cat or guinea pig or tapir could be said to be your pe6/21
already got that one, gortmold, but thanks
not in need of clues yet though, although I appreciate the sentiment!
ah well, a freebie for lurkers then
Hi Andree.
gotta go, kiddies to read to
enjoy gortmold, and don't forget to cuddle them :)
not tomorrow, andree, but had a birthday lunch with friends today and a happy birthday bridge game yesterday.
have fun, gort -- what will you read to them?
the arthritis is troublesome at times; looking to get a mobility chair being stuck at home all the time is overrated.
poor chic!
darn chic, that is nasty!
Poor Chic
I might try the hyaluronic acid injections for the knee next.
painful :( If you do, I hope they will work very very well.
echos sprites sentiments.
thanx, guys. the cortisone ones aren't working any more.
well we are glad to see you regardless of aches and pains.
that is a rotten place to be in the process. I know it doesn't help much, chic, but I will think of you and send you loads of good vibes.
Chic can you get medical marijuana?
Are you going to get a knee replacement, chic?
I'm here every night; I just lurk a lot.
this is a lovely grid, just started but just flowing along
I haven't met you, chic, but hello and I'm sorry about your knee. You must be a kid, like me!
It is the most lovely morning here, the sun is shining and the forecast for the week is putting temps into the low 20s and spring is springing :)
indeed Andree! Terra took a mud bath yesterday, btw, he came home from a walk with my son as black as tar!
no surgeries, please. I'm already sick of all the docs I see. no pot it shoots the blood pressure up.
no surgeries, please. I'm already sick of all the docs I see. no pot it shoots the blood pressure up.
after all the cold and snow you had I hope it becomes a lovely summer fmitch
very cold here, too, but at least the rain stopped yesterday.
very cold here, too, but at least the rain stopped yesterday.
the lovely glitch time
knee sugery works wonders, I hear
FM, same here. Isn't it delightful? We were ready for this.
and we all say everything twice!
lovely here too lately, but next week looks wet, they say
I just hate hosp., jill
lol ruby, that is because you hit the enter twice. Hiccup time keeps everything frozen for about 1 minute or 2. But everything is remembered and executed once the freeze is over.
It was raining last night but had stopped when I went out to smell the air last night - the sky was clear and the stars were so brilliant and for about 5 mins there was no sound of traffic just the odd drop of water running off the plants and the air smelt so sweet and fresh.
Chic this is the combo my friend feeds her arthritic ridden dog. All human grade pills: Daily Glucosamine/Chondroiten supplements, Daily Fish Oil Capsules, Daily Immune Support tablets She says it works a treat for pup and something human docs recommended to her for her arthritis.
up to now autumn has been lovely but now we need the heaters on morning and evening so winter is coming
don't we all, chic... bad places to be. Still, some very good work is done there. I am sure you will find you way towards the best solution for you.
your choice, chic, but I'd sure go for a pain-free future.
lovely image FM
I've tried those, herein; didn't work for me.
Poor Chic. Gentle hugs
It was ruby - just me and the universe, I felt so small and big at the same time.
magical moments, FM
My bridge partner had hip surgery at 83 -- syas she hasn't felt so good in years now.
Andree please be warned there is storms a brewing in Sydney
surgery would be the last choice; not there yet. just wish I could get in/out of my pool again. the lovely warm water of pool season is coming soon.
FM, I love the smell of rain.
nothing like it is there jilli.
we haven't hit 100 deg. yet but it's getting close.
any chance of getting a small lift at your pool, chic? There are very simple ones that might do the trick for you. Moving in warm water is probably good for your knee anyway.
good heavens 100 degrees 'wilts at the mere thought of it'
an ocean breeze can be pretty uplifting too, FM
yes I've priced them, sprite and a few other options but for now I'm opting for chair and leveling my shower.
oh yes, the ozone smell is unique.
I understand, chic, can't have it all at once, can we.
but rain is a softer scent
I have a perfume with Ozone smell
well FM it is a dry heat. LOL. we're having 10 % humidity these days.
rain in the desert smells like a wet dusty dog.
Don't remind me chic, I am going to have to spend a good protion of today watering plus I have a lot of planting to do today - am a happy bunny.
hello I'm back
LOL chic
hi westie
The worst heat I endured was in Dubai when it was 49 degrees, never want that sort of temp again.
west, you left just before I posted a bit about a birthday card I was given yesterday by a pug person.
same for me, FM. I came out of the plane and I thought somebody had wrapped me in a wet, hot blanket.
Was that Dubai heat dry or humid, FM?
extremely humid, jilli
I guess sprite answered that.
hi chic and oh no jilli I'll scroll back
wb westie
Oh, I think it's off the scroll, west.
thanks sprite I feel so much better now having started cleaning the oven
Is your oven clean now?
we so need to talk priorities, west ;)
it will be jilli in about 3 1/2 hours
it was hard to do..push clean oven and then start
Self-cleaner or do you have to smear stuff on it?
lol
self cleaning and a dream
Self-cleaner, I see.
Tsk tsk, cleaning ovens rather than babbling?
you tell her, FM
I can do both FM
Took you long enough to push those buttons, west!
I know but had cats to feed and dishwasher to empty
now a self emptying dishwasher would be nice
so we are 4th on your list. I say!
what does the 8 start with please
lol sprite never
I am just waiting for the day that I babble whilst sitting in the garden and the cleaner is doing the housework. If the weather keeps up it will be in about 2 weeks time :))
sounds like heaven FM
yay FM, that sounds so nice
*hugs west*
are you finally having nice weather (in a row ) ?
this grid is a PITA. I think I need a tea
you did so well at first is there a wall coming up?
The forecast for this week is boding well westie.
that's wonderful FM
Wall is being painfully climbed with lickety.
we are having beautiful Spring weather just as you promised
we'll have joy, we'll have fun, we'll have hours in the sun, FM
here's the bit about the pug card, west -- I was given a card yesterday by a multi-pug owner which was hilarious -- a pug under a pink hair dryer with pink rollers on its head and a pink cape -- really pug-ugly. The caption said "You're a classic beauty".
last several years we have gone from winter to summer
Oh you sound like Douglas and now I am trying to rember the name of the band that sung that song.
lol jilli would love to see that
hey don't get rude, lollllll
don't know how to show it to you -- you'll just have to imagine it. The pugs had a bit of pink tongue sticking out too.
I think that it is Seasons in the Sun
I can just see it
*just one pug
I must be going; thanx for the lovely chat... nite all.
Terry Jacks Seasons in the SUn
night chic, and good luck
Talking of pink jilli - I still have a copy of Ata's version of Barbara Catland/Jilli pic on file :)
night chic, all the best to you
Night CHic
Thank you herin - that was going to bug me.
So do I -- thought of posting it for this occasion, lol!
I am not sure if that is the original. I had to google it
because it has been covered alot
the original is french, Les Moribunds, or something like that
I almost did too jilli but just went for the trad Happy Birthday approach.
That sounds a bit morbid Sprite
WE still have to get Ata to 'do' herself.
but the english version by Terry Jacks was not the first. From wiki: Earlier recordings had been released by The Kingston Trio, the British band The Fortunes in 1968 and by Pearls Before Swine in 1970/71.
I just googled it written by Jacques Brel I just found out he's Belgian
And a few others!
Le Moribund by Jacques Brel.
I remember it from my parents
and don't forget Rod McCuen?
I'm sure that's the wrong spelling
I'm fading fast and not seeing any more words -- still 106 to go, but bed calls!
it says here the original version was pretty sarcastic, dealing with the infidelity of the wife.
Hugs and Good Night Jilli I hope the Birthday Fairy is good to you
eek just realised the time I must be off and I haven't even started the grid or finished Sudoku. Lovely chat and Happy Birthday again jilli. TTFN.
so the 'trusted friend' was not so trusted?
bye jilli and have a lovely birthday
bye fmitch
Night Jill and FM
Happy Birthday My Darling Jilli...George said that
sleep well, birthday girl! *hugs*
Night all and thanks so much for all the happy wishes -- *poof*
(dear George, sigh!)
nope, not trusted at all. I see here a later version of the song that says: Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife, without you I'd have had a lonely life. You cheated lots of times but then, I forgave you in the end though your lover was my friend. Adieu, Francoise, it's hard to die when all the birds are singing in the sky. Now that spring is in the air With your lovers ev'rywhere; just be careful, I'll be there.
which is closer to the original
Wow that reminds me of You are my Sunshine and how creepy stalker that song is
hoping to finish but too tired, goodnight all
oh my sprite she'd better watch out
night Flosey
night flosey, sleep well
see you at Bridge tomorrow Jilli - and be watching for that slam
good night flosey I thought I'd missed your going
lol yes west, a bit creepy isn't it!
no west, was rushing, hoping to finish - hahaha
have a great day and a small slam
saving the grand for jilli of course
thanks west, absolutely, rooting for jilli tomorrow night
Ca 6 first one please
my first one is french for duck
I have a duck
think of the shipping line
or think of the small yellow singing bird and change the last letter
mmmm
Fish me
*slaps lady with a sardine*
eewww
throws several cans at her lol
lolllll
I happen to love sardines
not cans. That is a bit mean :P
but they're empty
me too. Simply served. On fresh white bread.
yes yummy
yay killed all the As and Bs.
good for you !!
:D
I didn't realize how many b's there were
good morning all. how many words today
That grid is done and done. Bye all. Any clues first?

wtg lady! And not for me, thanks, I am fine. *hugs*
Yay herin !!
last pi6/21 pls?
the pitbull guppie?
wb gortmold. Kids happily to sleep?
not quite, thanks sprite, but their homework is done at least
hi sandrafrances, 263 today
googling pitbull guppie...
good kids
thanks. a big grid today. i am just under halfway
gort, a fish with a load of teeth eager to bite.
good luck with the other half then, sandra, it is a good grid but has some tricky-to-find words.
oh what is that called ?
ah, gort blushes with befuddled embarrassment, i would have stuck an h in there
(pitbull guppie was a joke, or a cryptic clue)
I know I know it
yes I do
thanks heaps sprite, i owe you at least an ember from the fireworks display
it should have a little wave thingy on the last but one letter. Also valid with an H, indeed.
thanks sprite and gort for asking
*loves embers* You're welcome gort!
yw2, westie
Gort the clue is fishie.
SOrry I missed you
bye
just don't slap me with one
thanks herin and toodle pip
never. It bites. I want you whole.
bye herin let us know how the conference goes
lol sprite
thanks sprite so do I
tact
*hugs lady*
and off I go
gooood one, westie. One I lack. Personally, that is ;)
happy to help sprite
this is a good start of the day. Great grid and great chat. Happy sprite here.
I like hearing that
gort, am wondering all of a sudden... did you mean you have fireworks now?
hmz I guess... sorry gortmold. Belated gratz and yayyyy!
from me too
sprite has there been any more news about Ruben?
about Ruben?
I saw that he was flown home
the young boy who survived the plane crash
let me check
yes, last saturday he arrived. They have chosen a military airport and drove him in a blinded ambulance to the hospital
he is doing relatively well.
that's really good to hear
so hard for a child to bear though
impossible to bear, I think. He will have a lot of help here, but trauma like this... he has a hell of a battle to do.
we can only hope those closest to him will not let him feel guilty
or at least will be willing to tell him time and time again he isn't guilty.
yes
I'd like to think his last memories of his parents and his brother were joyous ones
imagine going on a safari?
wonderful memories, I think, but also impossible to bear for now. So very very painful.
fireflies
Yay sprite !!
anything I may help you with before I go, westie?
I was wondering if all the ic 7's start with the cold stuff
and thanks for asking sprite
no, only one does
that helps you can't imagine the words I was trying lol
also, one of my unfindables today: to6/30 (an alloy, used to imitate gold, containing from 70 to 92 percent copper with zinc and sometimes tin and other materials forming the remainder)
lol yes, I know the feeling!
I will look for that one..they use an alloy to imitate gold?
all the rest is either relatively normal or not unknown to babblers.
must be what they put in those ATM machines
apparently yes. Totally new word for me.
lol! Ok, am gonna poof. Be well, dear westie, and *hugs*
you too sprite and hugs
you are our ray of sunshine
morning all, how many words today??
hello diann 263
good morning diann
you are late this morning
I was typing at 7.30am today. quite a big grid. Hope you adn yours are well. Pick you up at 10.30.
then why have you only said hello. i spoke to you about half an hour ago
how many words have you got
had to have breakfast and tidy up. Then came back on again. How many words have you got??
i will be ready for 10-30
i have 151
and yourself
lol I have 151 also
A mere 108 - you are too good for me!!!
i know too well
hello sandy
hi west
how are you today? and how many have you got?
I am well thank you and I have 163
hehehe
I am cleaning my oven and can't go to bed it smells awful
I think it's getting ready to burst into flames
I am about to feed horses and then cook dinner and of course have a glass of wine
all in that order?
was a chicken that ruined my oven today with all the splattering
West, I hate to admit this - one night I thought I had turned the oven off, but I had actually turned it full on. At 2am in the morning (i am not kidding) i awoke to hear a voice saying to me "go out to the kitchen " I couldnt get the words out of my head and i went - the oven was on fire!!
that was so lucky
It was amazing - that is a true story
someone was watching out for you
the little voice kept saying to me "go out to the kitchen ' over and over
they were that night!
Husband and I got the hose into the house (not good for electrical fires) and caused havoc! I rang the insurance the next day and they delivered a brand new oven
were your children young then?
they were about 12 down to 2 - lucky for them
lucky for all of you
and I'm sure you check and recheck that oven dial now
and so will I
Lol, you wouldn't believe how often I forget to turn it off
I do that too
and wonder why it's so warm near the stove lol
Still, what would life be if there was no excitement
pretty dull
what news of your husband?
I have to go, I have to check the horse as we went on a long ride this morning it was lovely
see you soon
how nice you lead an idyllic life I think
okay I'll be here
oh the husband! he has pneumonia - he is on antibiotics - he is feeling well but still has pain in the side - it could have been anything so i am grateful
so happy to hear that
Reminds me ....must get him insured!
bbl
big hugs for the horsies
gosh where is everyone!
hi ata off to feed the horses
I was reading emails and daughter has suggested a cruise out of Long Beach in Dec
we'll be in San Diego for the holidays anyway so sounds like a good deal
ooo lovely!
just a short one but think it will be fun
so cold here now
where to? down to Mexico area?
yes to Encinata
ooo lovely!
warmth!
I know
getting there will be a pain
but it's on 17 Dec so we should beat the holiday crowd
just :)
maybe we'll go a week early and spend some time in SF
always fun to do!
I was just checking the news and more volcanic ash is messing up Heathrow again?
yep, Heathrow and Gatwick both closed :(
same volcano ?
yep!
everything seems to be erupting
it hasn't stopped erupting from a few weeks ago
and how are you doing? knee any better?
I don't really know - one day it feels ok, the next day it's horribly painful again! I need to get a physio appointment sorted today
I'm sorry I hope that helps. Have they talked about surgery?
no, luckily. apparently it's standard with medial ligaments just to let them heal. Cruciates are a different matter!
probably when it feels ok you overdo
probably! it's so easy to do
be careful
I'm trying :)
I never did hear how it happened were you alone?
yep, walking the dog. had to walk about mile and half back across the heathland to the few houses on the little island I was on. With Hobbit constantly running off to try and chase rabbits *facepalm*!
yikes poor you
I was just desperately glad I could hobble back!
in a perfect world Hobbit would have run for help and brought back a bottle of wine
oh yes. but she came over, looked a bit quizically at me, licked my nose, then buggered off to get rabbits. brat dog!
maybe she was going to make you a coat to keep you warm
that would have been nice
just happy you're okay
so I eventually found one of the coastguard men and he took me back to his house, fetched an ambulance person, and they got me onto the next boat to go over to the main island to the hospital there. hurray!
Ata's Amazing Adventure
I'm ok. My right knee has been a consistent pain in the backside since I was about 10, so it's not totally new! I'm just very quickly getting cabin fever
and I hear the weather is quite nice over there now
it's lovely!
after the winter you've had it's about time
I'm getting a picnic bench thing for the garden today. HUsband just has to put it together then I can sit outside with hobbit
sounds nice is he good at putting things together or putting things off?
both!
lol
normally I'd do it myself, but .....
I hope he gets it done soon
me too!
and feeds you grapes in the bargain
I think that might be pushing it for him ...
and I can't imagine you swooning
noooooo
I am sure he would bring you a cup of tea in the garden though. Hello West and Ata
hi lyn
he would ... maybe!
goodness, wondered what your icon was...not very attractive is it!
how are you and Stew, Lyn?
not really!! it's a little bit restricting!
We are well and much more mobile than your poor self.
I have been enjoying the new DrW. Like him and the new look very much
isn't he *lovely*
I know FM isn't impressed, but I think he's great
How long will you be in this "chastity belt for a leg"?
I love the way they are filming it - a new Director I assume
about a month I think
yes, I think so
and you are in the contraption constantly? or off for showering etc?
off for changing clothes, off for the *occasional* shower (gah!!)
I feel for you. Still You will be able to gets lots of 'seated' stuff done (with your leg propped up I guess). Hope you are being productive! BBS dinner has just been served - lucky me
phew thank goodness for that *hugs*
hi everyone, just reading back, poor ata, at least you can still babble
hi FM & Andree. BBS
hi FM! hi Andree!!
babble, read, kind of paint, watch tv :)
Hi and bye lynxx and hello again Andree. Just got back from the garden centre.
How is the grid today?
not too bad so far
stuff to plant, lucky you
Oh my there is a biplane flying over as i type
ooo lovely!
oh and Ata saw a chinook a couple of days ago too.
yay!
I love it here - never got to see such things in Ascot *grin* apart from the lesser spotted chav with or without hat etc :).
but race fashion was certainly a sight
true true, but we can rely on Haz for her links to the how not to do fashion.
Has she made an appearance today yet?
am I talking to myself and if so, should I answer my own question?
hello FM and Andree was getting coffee
Hi westie, yr icon is still making me smile, hope that Haz will see it too.
no, no Haz yet
I had no idea that Jilli has claimed George as her own
not sure Haz knows that either!
George was mine first until I leant him to Haz. She forets that but Scrabbler will have something to say about the matter too.
I think a Babble meet with George invited would be so much fun..talk about fireworks
a meet of any kind with George would be fireworks!!
yay george
mmmmm
although in all honesty he does not float my boat.
Sean Connery is more my type.
that accent melts me
he gets better as he gets older
but of course there are some georgous babblers too crossy, ruru, montie to name but a few!
oh yes and don't forget Tim (but he's taken )
:)
phone, back in a bit.
so is george[taken] but who cares
he is ? I thought he was still available
andree do you have sound yet?
no west, had a busy day and didn't get around to phoning my computer guy
there's time
just turned on the TV and BBC World News came on
de6/27 please
Good news for England's Cricket team
oh yes :)
sorry andree I don't have that yet
de + a scene on a wall: ****ure
hello bab
and ty
ths babble and how are you
Hello, depends on the minute but hanging in there.
Back. Hi BabRab
back later, i hate reality tv but one i do watch is project runway so off to watch tv for an hour , back later
looool project runway is fab
I'll have to watch
have fun andree
we have a local one as well, not sure what Andree is watching
we have a UK one too
unfortunately ours doesn't have Tim Gunn, what a lovely man
isn't he just lovely. I like him a lot
Charming, kind and excellent taste!
are there fledgling designers being judged?
yes! and he appears very genuine
yes, west
sounds good I'll have to check it out
I have one more minute and I can finally go to bed
good morning everyone;)
different challenge to design something each week, its great fun
hello crossy
hi crossy
what time is it there West?
Hello Crossy
6:38 a.m.
brb pup wants out
I decided to clean the oven ..thought I'd just press a button but it smelled so bad and got all smoky I figured I'd better stay here
Oh!
once it's on it can't be shut off
but sure beats cleaning it by hand
those auto clean ovens only really work if you do it once a month sort of thing.i have to chisel mine out soon as well
it has been a long time and tonight I had a very splattery chicken
last night that is
I hate cleaning the oven. We had it cleaned by an exernal service last time. That was a bad decision - $s and made all the racks rusty
so whatever they used must have been very caustic
did they offer to replace the racks?
Must have been, wasn't around and husband wouldn't have bothered looking
No, lol - just told us we needed new ones. Live and learn I guess
I know what you mean
You have inspired me...think I'll do mine tomorrow
good used ovens run around 150-200 here,just easier to get another one every 10 years or so lol
happy to help lol
but mine is attached to the stove
as is mine
you mean you can just replace the oven?
We are so NOT handy - we have an under-bench type, I bet it would cost us a lot with installation included
now you tell me lol
why bother oven and four burners usually come as a single unit anyways
ours do anyways
ours is fairly new and matches the other appliances
oh..mm
I think the time is up I'm going to check on it brb
it's not perfect but it's about 95% better than it was
Sounds good enough to me!
and with that I'm off to bed for a few hours take care all
Sleep tight West! byee
I give up - am missing one t6 to finish this grid. Any ideas?
the only one I have is the past tense of what you are buried in, sorry lots to go here
thanks lynxxx it is the one between the grave and the pt of he word that I am looking for.
am so blind
To* & scratch my ***k and I'll scratch yours
Hugs to you - that was the one. Happy Fireworks.
Congrats FM!!
and now it is time for lunch, back in a while. Thanks again lynxxx.
enjoy FM
good morning friends. John Barrowman (sp?) got blown to smithereens on Desperate Housewives here last night....isn't he someones celebrity love in the chog?
good morning trif;)
Hi Trif. Ata fancies him from afar
well, she would have lots of places to fancy him after last night! boom
good morning crossy, my dear one
but then again I think everyone does, he seems a bit of a devil
btw, did you take the photo in your icon, crossy?
but he bats for the other team, yes?
? im sorry im on my first tea..what photo?
Yes
the one in your icon, crossy, of the wolf in the grass? thought maybe it was a shot taken in your back yard?
oh ,no trif.that is one of my older stock wolf photos
okay, thanks. great shot, anyway. love the dignified look on that one's face
it is reduced from a larger picture,so im afraid he appears a bit squashed
i am about 2 hour drive south from Ontario timber wolf country.when i go visit my da,i will often take a camera into algonquin park and try for some fresh pictures\
I am having such major time management problems at the moment....it's one of my worst areas. I don't have to work today, and the thought of a whole unstructured day ahead is overwhelming....I make lists, but I am not remotely realistic about how much I can actually get done in a day, and thus end up feeling so angry at myself for not getting 'everything' on it done....sigh
timberwolves are nicer than regular ones, or nastier than regular ones? don't know much about wolves, I am afraid. coyote country with me....
do NOT make a list..pick a room or a task,start it,finish it then move on
or make a list,put one thing on it,then make another list lol
yes, I will try that. Do have a couple of big projects I need to clear off the decks, and it would be amazingly freeing to see the back of them....
take a coyote multiply its size by 4 and your close
LOL crossy! I have actually started going the other way with lists - I only list what I have actually accomplished, and thus at the end of a day, if I am feeling all mad at myself for "not getting anything done!" I can look at it for proof that I actually did contribute something
I used to do that at work Trif - and was always happy to get about half done. Undone just goes on the next list. Do the same now that I am retired. Don't be so hard on yourself - you know what, no-one else cares!
wow, that is really scary! especially if you consider the coyotes around here, which are as sleek and well fed as huskies, given their diet of pet cats, small dogs, and of course, my chickens
thanks lynxxx
we used to make lists..all we did was spend 4 hours making lists lol
sometimes they are helpful, lists. I tend to forget stuff, so a list helps me remember to pick something up, or do a particular thing. it's just another tool, isn't it?
today for example i have 2 tasks.making the kitchen spic and span,then the second list is to change the bathroom sink taps
very cool, crossy. are you re-fitting the entire bathroom, or just the taps?
and can you promise me something? (wifey-type question to follow)......
after the wife and i go for walkies through the towns local arboredum so i can pick a pretty flower for her hair;0
just taps today
are the taps broken in some way?
yest,the base is coming apart from the rest of it and it leaks
i usually have to swap out the taps about once every 5 years
okay. crossy, you know I love you, we all do, but you are, after all a man, so I ask the next question with the greatest respect and love for the sanity of my gender.....do you PROMISE to throw away, dispose of, or otherwise totally remove the broken taps from your house, and not put them on a shelf in the basement or shed somewhere, in case you "need it again someday?" I promise you - I really do - you will never, ever need a set of broken taps.
i do not need a broken tap set lol
you are a good man, crossy. a real exception and a credit to your gender!
we live in an appt,so i have no garage to store junk lol
well.....i have 3 boxes of my old records..and no record player lol
seriosly? that is a surprise! I envision you out in some canadian paradise, a la the house from Legends of the Fall....
i have a sterio that has not been played in 10 years lol
keep it!!! one day young crossy will discover the joys of vinal, and then you will have a fine old time, believe me!
i am in paradice trif,i am at the base of blue mtn on the shores of georgian bay
god help us all - the horny cardinal is back at his post, singing his fool heart out. that poor bird! if I knew how to do it, I would hire him a birdie hooker
though i did rid of my 4 boxes of old 8-track tapes lol
oh lawd, remember those? ha ha ha
enjoy it trif,cardinals are rare here,we get inundated with screeching blue jays
lol remember them? i had them till last year lol
when I was in high school, our youth group went to appalachia for a service project. the people we were working with had one 8 track tape - Molly Hatchet - and played it for a week straight. to this day, even my 75 year old mother can sing "flirting with disaster" in it's entirety
bus stop, brb
sigh,pop in a tape of cream or boston,light the lava lamp,put on a pair of bell bottom cords and groove to the tunage :)
i can still hear in my mind the KERRRR-CHUNK! as my machine used to change tracks
for a while i used to play around with a 16 track reel to reel,even today i can still spice tape like a pro lol
sighs with crossy after kicking off espadrills. as am too tall already.
and i still hide 3 cases of old cassette tapes under the bed trif,so i have not strayed too far from the norm lol
and in the closet i still have 5 or 5 of my old fuzzy lumberjack type shirts,my shoulders are too wide for them now as they are 20 years old or more,but the wife likes them as a night shirt
back. I still have all my old casettes and albums too. Primo is digging the old vinyls (okay, NOT the xanadu soundtrack, but whatevs....) and it's nice to see him discover some great old music.
awe crossie you are such a good guy!
lol i have a actual 1979 d.j demo record ,it is a 12 inch 45 r.p.m of blondie singing her heart of glass tune..in a 17 minute disco form ..shudder lol
besides, a lot of my old stuff was never pressed into cds, so there you go. Primo got some dosh for christmas last year and bought one of those turntables that converts to mp3s. great idea!
one of my friends in college used to work at the radio station on campus, and I remember he had a bunch of dr. demento's shows on vinyl....
i know a song about lumberjacks crossy!
lol trif we have no excuse,any song can be found online in mp3 format and burnt to disk
LOL sandy!!!!
as do i sandy,i think monty python made one lol
no, you would be surprised crossy... i have been looking years for some stuff
I love that song, I will always have a warm spot in my heart for lumberjacks
Just to know they have normal foibles
can I just add, the breakfast I am consuming right now is sooooo good, it should require a license to serve
lol remember im u.k born and me and my da used to watch monty pythons flying circus when it used to play
We are big monty fans
How old are you Crossy?
what you eating triff?
normal foibles? suspenders and a bra???
old enough to know better,young enough not to give a damn;))
well, that is something all of us didn't know about lumberjacks in the past
a bowl of organic cinnamon granola with yogurl on top, and then blueberries and strawberries tossed on to up the ante
good lord...
sandy I am ROLLING laughing!
nice Trif
well mine today is a bowl of shredded wheat,a boiled egg,a slice of honey and oat dark bread and a glass of o.j
I am telling you, it should be orgasmic cinnamon granola....
Crossy, how about an icon photo in your lumberjack shirt (and just a hint of the rest)
sorry i gave up wearing ladies dresses and hanging round in bars lol
sandy, he already said his shoulders are too wide for the shirts now...can only imagine how the suspenders and bra would fit
anyways i cannot get my shoulders into them anymore
poor lumberjacks..so misunderstood
slice it down the back , we will never know!
wish that would work with the prom dress I am making....
lol sandy,your naughty.crossy is going to have to get the ping pong paddle with the speed holes drilled in it
hmmm, haven't heard of lumberjacks with ping pong paddles , but then...it fits in
the paddle is for you,not me
hmmm, well my daughter gives all her friends paddles for presents when they get engaged...i'm far too innocent to understand
poor sandy,too sheltered
indeed i am
we have to get you out more;)
too devoted to looking after my husband to get out. Just want to do dishes and wash his clothes and cook his meals! and of course never go shopping!
well time for a walkabout,bbs..semi=poof
I think I just spit up a little, sandy....
have a nice walk with the mrs, crossy!
good morning - hi sandy, Trif, and bye crossy
Trif did you say you are making a prom dress - can't let that just slip by - that's a major undertaking - tell us more....
Trif, I'm sorry to have that affect on you - this is what aussie women are born for!(furtively looks around for aussie women)
back in a minute - feeling suddenly sick
damn! Lynxx was lurking! She just won't admit it!
snort
trif must be "enjoying" her breakfast...
Now this should bring out English people But here is a random but true fact. More bondage places hire more staff in Aus when the English Cricket team tour (ducks)
oh no! another lurker!
I came here to get the link for Sudoku.
sorry JBV - had gone over to FB for a minute...anyway, yes, I am making a prom dress for Primo's date.
It is a goth fest. sigh
Awww Trifs. What sort of Dress?
herin, I use : www.websudoku.com
what about a pic on your icon, trif
for your son's date? wow! I nominate you for mother of the year
Good to see the English maintaining their traditions
white underdress with a black overdress. yes, will post photos when it does not look like a pile of fabric, but an actual dress
JB I was using Iron Sudoku but I will mark it down for later.
they paid for the fabric, jbv....
what fabric, trif?
right now I hate it beyond words.
oh, ok, runner-up for mother of the year
its a white satin underdress. that fabric is actually quite nice - has a jacquard print on it with silver threads and sparkly bits...the black over dress is black matte satin and it is quite nice on its own, as it hangs beautifully and is pretty light weight so it will move well when they are dancing
very nice - sounds beautiful
I am just at that stage in the process where there have been a few adjustments that needed to be made and I just can't seem to get this dress to behave as I want it to. I am like this with every sewing project, trust me. mind you, prom is friday, so I am setting myself strict babble time lines today
brings back memories from long ago - my mom made my prom dress - apple green shantung underdress and pink and green apple blossom chiffon over. I sewed the sequins on myself
long or tea length jbv?
and I need to make primo his vest to match, but vests are 2 hours, so no worries there
long - oh and she made a long-sleeved coat to go over it - i'll find the picture somewhere and post it
lucky kids ... can't wait to see the pics
it sounds amazing! do you stil have it?
we cut it down and I wore it several times after - no longer have that, but I still have a few special things she made. We were into recycling. Have a pillowcase made from my 8th grade dress - printed polished cotton
I am looking forward to the photos
I remember the fittings as if it were yesterday - all those pins sticking in me everywhere
awww JB that is wonderful.
don't know why I have such trouble with the 4 letter words!
I recycle clothes all the time, a la Project Runway....especially when I find clothes on the deep discount rack somewhere like old navy. I bought a dress there a couple of years ago for a whopping .98, and made it into a shirt that I love and wear all the time. excellent R o I !
Clue please for de 7/32
My cat is yowling for his daddy
so you buy them for the fabric? great idea
yes, I do.
but only if they are wicked cheap, it is a fabric I really like, and I think I will wear it
Clever Trif
otherwise it just becomes more clutter in my "to do" pile and who needs the guilt?
I have hand stitched elbow high gauntlet style gloves velvet and I lost them on the first night I wore them.
that smarts herin!
de7/32 - latin plural of a Roman coin.
What Haz said. I was getting there
oh that's too bad, herin
funny - that has no singular....
de7/32 - it ends in two vowels tacked to the end of short Mr Onassis.
time for me to be off - see you later and good luck with the grid
I remember I also recycled the tops off stockings, turned the elastic lace bit into a wrist holder for my cards when I went clubing
bye jbs
jbv, even, sorry!
Haz!!!! where have you been? So tardy in babble land,.
Thanks Haz
Bye JB
Hello! I've been very good and did my housework. I'm stuck here until the hall floor dries.
Right O I am going to go and see if I can get my assignment done (at 1022pm) sigh
lol, washed yourself into a corner?
go herin, go! you can do it!!!
Absolutely. It's a strategy I've used before.
Last one - as 5/10 - not seeing it
Is it just me or is this not a very fast grid?
as5.10 ends like curved yellow fruit
good ploy Haz!I found it jumpy and bitty and not that much fun.
not fast for me
Thanks and finished!
Oh good, it's not just me.
Congratulations, gran!
Congrats Gran!
not fast for me 50 left
I got the first 100 without thinking much about it, and then it sort of slowed down, and now I have 87 left and have been getting nowhere for ages
Congrats gran.
but I love the chog....
chatting is addictive
and interesting
at least here it is
*hums the thong song just for sandy*
Mitch, have you had the cleaner again today? (and I don't mean in the biblical sense)
I was hoping ata might saunter by... have some john barrowman news to share with her
please don't start her off
she was here earlier
Who, Ata, FM or sandy? Not to be started off, I mean?
they were talking about John
lol no he is not due again until the 25th.
FM/Sandy
well, he got blown to smithereens last night on desperate housewives, if it makes you feel any better
I wonder if his teeth stayed intact? He always seems to have more teeth than can feasibly fit into a mouth. (JB that is)
Oh Haz you have to see Westies icon - George witha pup. We had much discussion about him and you this morning.
George with a pup? Thank goodness it's not a rabbit, or you know who might claim victory.
Scrabs has yet to see the pic or the chat :)
oh please, let's not talk of rabbits...still in mourning here...
Finding Westford's icon.....
why the mourning - I have missed something?
Oh dear Trif, loss of bunnies?
we lost our house bunny last week...poor cinnamon bun....he had a good life though....I still look in his corner and expect him to be there...snif
awe (((Trif)))
the kids took it well, though...secondo helped with the burial, and we laid him on his favorite bed, said a few decent words...your basic home/pet funeral
no, wait, that was tertiare....geesh, I even confuse their nicknames! sad
Leaving a decent interval before I start remarking on how nice Westford's profile pic is.
mornin babblers!
remark away!
oh, sorry to hear that Trif, I hate to hear of losing pets - I think ours will be around for ever
I'll keep it open, just for a bit of inspiration for this grid.
hi Eva
Hello EvaNadine.
hi Eva
lol Haz.
Here we go again with the open/shutdown of UK airspace.
We've been shut down for a couple of days now.
That volcano could go on for years
this is how pathetic I am....I thought the George in question was a Westie, and had a puppy, and that is what the icon photo was....DUH
Hello everybody :)
Husband's business partner was supposed to go to Portugal for a week's golf. That's been scrapped.
morning dear soodle!!!
hi sood
True HAz, and a number of the small souther airfields ahve been shut too a nd now HEathrow and Gatwick affected.
LOL Trif!!!
For the purposes of clarity, when George is mentioned, it is invariably George Clooney. The man who has had to take a restraining order out against a certain babbling paediatrician who claims fiancee rights. It's sad, really.
and Hi Soodle.
Hello, Soodle.
how are we all this morning?
Dublin Airport is opening as I type... What a mess
Has George been sighted?
I have a sneaking suspicion that mr. clooney plays for the other team....you heard it here first!
love your icon and your blurb sood
I feel the same way about Johnny Depp.
Very protective, LOL.
Hello, Annie. Westford has an icon pic of him for jillibus' birthday.
Can I remind you that I was with George first and only leant him to you for a week 4 years ago and have never seen him back here since then!!!!
:)
George likes the comfort of my understairs cupboard. What can I say?
Jilli's birthday and George in one day..wonderful
hmmm. where jonny depp is concerned I feel probably the case is that he is more, um, flexible as to which team someone is on. All cats are grey in the dark, as they say
pffft
Was that a raspberry, FM?
who is this george, Mitch?
I don't want a relationship with him, LOL... so I don't especially care.
George Clooney - used to be a mate of mine.
Mitch, is George a previous cleaner who is now under your stairs?
I may have asked you before, Haz, but when your finished with George, could you make him a packed lunch, pat him on the head, and point him southwards?
I heard Mr Clooney is gay
"point him southwards" sounds naughty, soodle!
Horrors!
...and wears thongs
Haz now has her claws into him but Scrabbler believes she is engaged to him **Grin**
I would really be shocked to discover that George Clooney is gay.
The thong might be interesting.
Remember Rock Hudson???
I am not sure anything shocks me anymore.
Rock always had that feminine side.
sandy you are doing nothing for my reputation!
There is a site on the internet 'Is George Clooney gay?"
Trif! I meant Geographically. Sheesh >: )
LOL
Mitch, we all have our likes and dislikes
theres a site on the internet for everything, LOL.
and on that point sandy I return to comments made early this morning re Sean Connery.
I wonder why it still matters... I hate the old argument that "well, then no one would ever buy him as a romantic lead again." uh, people, it's a MOVIE. I don't think Tom Hanks is actually as astronaut, but I love Apollo 13
LOL - but I did hear it from someone who has been to a party with him
Doesn't matter to me or Mitch
Tom Hanks not an astronaut?????? My illusions are being shattered with every entry in todays chog.
Tom Hanks is not an astronaut???
Or a gay man from Philadelphia? Or a Harvard symbologist???
Or a little boy who grew up real fast?
sorry ladies, he is merely an actor. a very, very good actor. now, shall I tell you about the man inside the Mickey Mouse costume at Disneyworld?
we can dream but I do remember being devastated when I found out that Cliff Richard was gay ( I was only 12 at the time).
Hey Mitch - Sean Connery can't be gay with that gorgeous voice
Sean can be whatever he wants with that voice and chest hair :)
I was way WAY more upset to hear Sean Connery say that if a woman is getting "out of line" it's okay to give her a rap in the mouth. classy!
My opinion of Sean Connery is that he is probably not so discriminating in the bedroom...
WHAT CLIFF RICHARD IS GAY, SAY IT ISN'T SO.
Yes Trif... I was just going to say that.
You are all stopping me from doing the puzzle - I have 49 left and am now going to be a lurker
I don't even know who Cliff Richard is, LOL.
where was I when this came out (pun intended) :)
thanks mom. bummer, wasn't it? he ranks right up there with mel gibson on the evolutionary ladder
I did see Sean Connery at the opera a couple of years ago... holy guacamole is he sexy as hell in person... kilt and all...
lol pap.
all this is nancy boy's cue to appear....where is our dear boy today?
Oooh. Men in kilts. Yum yum
Never a big Mel fan to begin with.
probably at a club somewhere with Sean and George....
I made mr. hate a kilt once....let me see if I can dig up a photo...
Russell Crowe in a skirt in Gladiator...... Maximus!
Minimus!
Let me tell you, I nearly fell out of my chair... I actually audibly gasped.. the news was filming and two seconds later my mother texted me to say that I looked hysterical on TV gasping at Sean Connery... who kind of smirked at me...
I have to tell you... Russell Crowe does absolutely nothing for me.
mom2, Sean Connery looked at you, you lucky woman
Oh, but he was something else in Gladiator. (slight swoon)
hi all
Hi Boo.
hello everybody
you have no idea pab! It was so funny... I was talking to someone next to me... they stopped talking and looked over my head... so I turned... and there he was... and I gasped so loudly that he looked at me and smirked... too funny.
Hi Boo, Hi Rubes :)
and it was caught on film too LOL
lol mom, what a lovely tale. Hi ruby.
He had on the full regalia.... gorgeous... and he has great legs.
Yes Pab... probably not my finest hour, LOL.
stop it , stop it right now Mom - you are making me jealous!
Hi Ruby & Boo
I could do the Letterman segment "Brush with Greatness"... don't know if he still does that one??
that is so cool!
Just to change the subject, Nicky is watching a show called "Toddlers and Tiaras" she is calling it the 'Mini prostitutes show" is this for real???
You see lots of people unexpectedly in NYC... but this was opening night at the Metropolitan Opera and there were stars galore on the red carpet...
Yes sandy... this is for real.
yes, it is a real show, and it is DISGUSTING - televised child abuse
OMG Trif... I was just going to say that these women should be in jail!
that is one of my favorite things about new york. I have yet to be there, even for a weekend, without a celebrity sighting. heaven!
I've never seen, but I've heard about, totally disgusting
Dr phil calls them 'pedophiles paradise' and I agree with you Trif, I hardly think it teaches them good values
ONe of my favorite encounters was with Ron Wood... OMG he was too funny.
okay, you all have to promise to kick me off here in five more minutes. I have GOT to get stuff done today!
I saw Michael Caine in New York
It's so funny... you just kind of bump into celebs in Manhattan. They are just out doing their thing.
I think I'm entering here too late, seem to have missed the juicy bits!
My brother went to school with Larry Mullins jr, - the drummer in U2. He was in our house heaps of times. (My claim to fame)
I once had a friend who lived in a building with a woman who was dating ERic Roberts... at 3 AM he was screaming outside of the building for her to let her in and she was throwing his crap out the window at him, LOL!
I LOVE U2...
my son was in a U2 tribute band (in Austin TX) for two years playing bass
Ron Wood, drunk as a skunk in the village at an outdoor cafe... kept trying to get me to have a drink with him... "Come on Luv" he kept saying.... I so would have, but my daughter was 4 at the time and she was with me... did not think it was the right environment for her... LOL
too funny mom2
okay, that's my cue. have a great day ladies, and take care til we meet again.
Bye Trif. Good luck with the dressmaking
bye Trif

Thanks.
Mom how was your Mother's DaY
Its was OK - had a very nice breakfast with my mom and babbled the afternoon away.
That's sounds fun
It was funny in that I picked up my Mom bright and early 7 am to go out for breakfast. We get to the restaurant of her choice and there was already a line. We are waiting for maybe 10 minutes and who walks in the door but my only brother. He had no idea we would be there. His wife was working for he stopped to eat on his own before groceries. So we had a very nice family breakfast.
that's was nice
it was because we dont get to see each other much with our work and kid schedules
We were supposed to take my Mom out to dinner but she didn't feel well so we cooked spaghetti and meatballs for her and she loved it.
Oh that was nice of you Boo - my daughter made me an awesome chocolate dessert
My family is so large that we don't always get together very much either. and when we do we have a blast and lots of family picnics
I only have my Mom now and one brother - I envy you a large family
oh we have our difficult times as any family would be we are so closely nit together it makes us stronger

yeah, but thats only a 5 pointer, i want loads of points
well you get the points gradually in this game

hi ata!
yup, every word counts
and hi :)
Aaron, are you using Lickety's Babble Clues under Friends of Babble at the top of the second column?
eh, what you talking bout
ac6 please first one
that would be a no lol
Click on Lickety's Babble Clues at the bottom of the page.
add set the **ble to the top card, geek
i have that one
open it a separate window though
it is a 5
i need the ac 6
right, the clue worketh
what is the ac 6?? it appears not to be a pl of the ac5
or... sorry.. add the opp of out the beginning of the top card and end with **senic and old lace
i dont understand the clues, and why they write them ike that
ty that was it aloy - aways forget about that one
we don't want to tell people the words but just hint at them
Aaron, it is so that we don't type words that are in the grid in the chat log
well, hint me then
*always*
you get used to it!
ac 6 means she is looking for a owrd that begins with ac and has 6 letters
yw, glad you found it

we enjoy giving clues, Aaron
Go here, Aaron: http://tinyurl.com/yfsoeph

hi, ata
okay I need clues for the last two ar6/7 combo

danke, aloy
bitte, (-:
ooo that's good stuff that ar6
Ata - aren't you getting lots of attention at home? seems that you should be having dark chocs!
*throws dark chocs across the pond*
I'm all on my own :(
what!?!?!
yep! mum went home on Saturday :(
but you can hobble around now
where is your SO?
you need that ar6 as a cream
at work!
well, he should leave with wine and dark chocs
throughs a nice merlot across the pond!
I hope it was in a plastic bottle.
*catches*!
it was in a skin cask!
whew!
Ata, you could learn to play bagpipes whilst recooping
recuping
oops
and WHY would I want to do that? LOL :D
because not many women know how and pipes are cool
Hobbit would enjoy, so would Silverclaw
as would the neighbors. :-) good afternoon everyone
ooh, just found the Mexican party thingee full of candy that you try to burst
hey mom
Hi Science
congrats and hello Aloy
hi Mom!

chomp.. I hear the jaws theme
jaws theme on bagpipes

clue for in 7 please
she chose dark choco in7 the light choco
in 7 -- in lieu of
in7 of the light choco
How about if you give *me* a clue for de7 in*****?
can't type today
bbl
bye bye Science
de + the ***cisist loved himself + double first person singular
bye sgeek, see you later
thanks Aloy
Oh, thank you; I've never seen that spelling before, and I can't imagine why the singular isn't accepted, then, too. How weird, and thanks much.
don't know what it means, something to do with money?
It's the plural of the MidEastern currency "dinar"
ah so, ty SJoy
stuck again on the ac6/21
AH WAIT! I looked it up, I'm wrong. The Mid East currency *is* the dinar, but *this* word is the plural of the Roman "denarius"
That's why there is no singular spelling accepted.
okie dokie.. pl of some money
ac + not out + t** and feather
a + going to the movies at the ***ema + I am you **e
ac + not out + **e you lonesome tonight?
lol, that oughta do it, triple clues
thank you. thank you very much

JEALOUS peri!
pay off more expensive debt first
I was hoping to pay off the other bills before buying a car but it will work out fine anyway. in a few months, only the car payment!!
yes mam, jmc
I can happily say I have no debts at all. For the first time in my life I am debt free.
okay i am hitting the bricks to walk back to my office
WOW, how wonderful, FM
I realized this weekend that by the time I pay off my legal bills and my credit card, primo will have started college. hoorah!
<==2 mortgages, car, 2 school loans
It was a hard road but the freedom is great.
OMG! debt free?!?! I prolly still owe the lunch room lady from elementary school something! LOL! Congrats!
was hoping to get to 100 without listing, but that just isn't going to happen
speaking of work....off I go! moochas smoochas!
I will be 85 when I pay off my mortgage
*poof*
lol amelu and bye to those that are leaving.
God willing, my mortgage will be paid when I reach 55... *fingers crossed* It sure would make the possibility of retirement look more attainable...

Hey there stiddy!!!
Play gently iwth Ata, she is still 'embraced'

oh oh... atalante! you're not ambulatory yet?

An doing v well and am happy.
glad to hear that, FM.
*packs extra bubble wrap round atalante*

oh don't bubble wrap her, she will get used to being looked after!!!!
yes, can't get used to that!
I am going to have to cosset her so much this week as it is!
rofl... puts choclits just out of reach.
LOL
wahhhh!
*nudges choclits closer* there there... how much longer, kiddo?
OK so chocs are on the shopping list for Wednesday.
4 or 5 weeks, stiddy!
we can go down to the farm shop, FM!
what else do you need dear?
oh dear. that's a LONG time to do. I am so sorry you are laid up like this.
Oh yummy yum Ata - sounds great.
not a lot, being very grateful to tesco deliveries now!
farm shop? looking like THAT? *considers if they sell wheelbarrows it might work*
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)
and it's quite difficult, because I'm used to eating the right amount for walking Hobbit each day, now I feel like I need to cut down on food, not eat more chocolate!!
Good, just let me know if there is anything yo uneed before I come down.
is the single O in the top row middle column fishy? it's my last non-blank
YAY nan!!!!
have to run -- back at the flip :)
*sends atalante guilt-free choclits*
Yay Congrats cnan!!!
I will, tytyty
it's very easy to get here, you'll be pleased to know!
only an hour and 3/4 according to multimap - but worth it to see a dear friend.
ack, that is a long way! but you'll meet Sily :D
*adds 12 hours to FM's trip* sorry Atalante, I can't make it... *wicked grin* BUT you will be ambulatory for our meet-up in AUGUST, right?
Will have a huff if Sily doesnt like me tho.
of course Sily will like you, FM! *indignant mama look*
she'll looooove you
LOL stiddy - I just cant wait to meet her!
I have my first physio appt on Thursday, and I'm hoping she'll give me some decent idea of how long this will take!
hope not too long, Atalante. I need to make an appointment with a therapist for the hip for me -- now that I am walking caneless, I want to be sure I take care of weak spots. But I don't have time right now.
oh FM!! *dies of laughter* Toyah is back in the Channel Islands soon!!!!
Hobbit is the best dog in the world (apart from Spanlgle of course) but Sily is an new identity.
you need to make time!!
you'll just adore Sily in about 10 seconds. She's so lovey at the moment!
nah. three more weeks, and I am not doing anything strenuous. Soon, though.
Oh how funny Ata - Haz will enjoy that too.
Liz and I are in absolute hysterics about it
Am looking at the pic you posted of Sily with the big paws. such a a great photo.
shes such a sweetie. very independent still, won't sit on laps, but getting very purry and cuddly
she loves sitting in my arms with her head on my shoulder
oh shut up! an feeling broody now.
you'll see her soon!
eek does that mean I want kittens - am so confused.
oooo pink jammies!
ata are you still folding at home?
oh! halfway!!! help on that O in the top row center pretty please? then I need to rest my eyes for a while before I go get stidkid and take him to doc for followup...
i think it does!!
hey jmc!
careful FM the trouble with kittens is that, they grow up into a car!
wow jmc!!!
ack Cat Cat CAT I meant a CAT
LMAO muchly
I wouldn't mind kittens if they grew into cars... I will have to replace the minivan in a year or two.
me too i may have to shut my door so my staff doesn't see me
thank goodness for that jmc as I was sitting here trying to work that one out!
stid I think thats the ob6 /27

Bye for now stiddy.

I was fine. We seem to live in an area where the really bad stuff goes around us!
that is fortunate. GOOD. So I will head out and start worrying about OTHER things... (((Hugs)))
and I probably just jinxed us.....
ok maybe later - bye
see you-all again soon. *tosses guilt-free choclits to Atalante* Be CAREFUL! *poof*
God to hear that hoot. I must be off so will bid you all adieu.

i'm bored with work and bored with this puzzle
I'm bored with being home alone - and it's only been two days!
i have not been bored since 1993 lol
LOL Crossy! what happened in 1993?
as
ci c
ic
Hi Dorens.
sshhhhhh.....she's doing code
methinks she is a spy
ohhh no. caught again! sorry.
Oooh. I am like crossy though, never really bored.
in 1993? i got married and we had a kid lol
ohhh...well that'll liven things up ;)
evening all..
rolin Hi!
Crossy, if it takes you 10 mins. to come up with a punchline like that, you will lose your audience
howdy rolin
lol was vacuuming
cross come on down here, I need some vacuuming done too.
only if you come up here and fold a few clothes
LOL Lawyer! well we can't all be as quick as you ;)
or as bored as I am
I love to fold clothing and do laundry, hate to vaccuuum, but it is cold where you are.
and I have a cold, so you may not want germs
tiny clue for the 8 please?
good grief... i never thought i could be sympathetic to someone like enoch powell
not now red,today is sunny and 70 f
ic8 = compound word
was that tiny enough?
sunny...I think I vaguely remember what that's like
like fog only brighter usually a bright ball in the sky nb ;)
we had sunny ...but not warm....i want sunny AND warm...
i want sunny and cher
*sigh*
time to go home
clue for te 7 pls
ic8= what our coast guard uses to get vessesls unstuck up north
te 7 - sounds like the ship that hit the iceberg
te+ the end of the big bo4 that hit the iceberg
actually, it was pretty nice today - I sat up on the roof and made a conscious effort towards getting some kind of tan ;)
oddly compatible with the ic8 ...
thanks, lawyer, that was perfect. phone range just after I typed the request
thanks crossy, too
the roof??
:)
interesting note,the cunard line still runs cruise ships
nb how did it go? please do not get skin cancer.
and harlam and wolfe still make vessels,though that event was poor advertizing indeed
did you have cancer tests nb??
talk to uncle crossy now
didn't know that Cross, interesting indeed... I bet they have the most sheepish marketing departments in the world.
lol city17
cancer tests? no, but I haven't seen the sun in a lonnng time..
my thing this year is to use sun screen at least when in pool...
hello city!
you remind me,i must get out hl2 again i just picked up ep1 and 2 for a real low price
hello, everyone. Just lurking and pecking at the grid
I think NB gets a lot less sun than I do, so he is probably safe.
yes, can't play the 'episode' ones without revisiting 2
indeed
I just realized this year what it is doing to my face...wrinkly!
my boy loves the french priest
just laugh lines red
you can say that again, Red ;) especially when I used to go back home for the summer - I used to leave just as England was getting nice, to go to Korea for the rainy season...and then get back in time for England to be rainy again!
Father Gregori is a hoot :)
well Crossy I dont know. A year in Sudan, and then deciding to live in Florida, I am trying to get melanoma.
So this year its sunscreen.
and i do not care how many people bitch about source city 17,it has always run smooth as silk and it gave me a free game for having both ep1 and 2
dont you dare red,i have already had that carved out of my belly...twice!!
you have not been wearing sunscreen????!!!!
I have never worn it until this year.
once in a while yes. but not regulary.
It's mostly fine for me, too, although I have problems running hl2 on my machine (works fine on hubby's so I have no idea what the compatibility problem is)
bad red,bad,hang your head in shame
I'm working on it Cross! At least, I am a non smoker non drinker, and exercise very regularly...Now I make sure to put it on 30 min before swimming so it can adhere to my skin...eeew/
not getting the te 7
boo it is exactly like the bo 7 except not with a bo but a te.
big ship sank april 14th 1912
thanks for the bo7, red ;)
YW city!
iceberg,1400 dead....
all the Brits can cheer up though - we should be getting more sun soon! I have dusted off my sunglasses ;)
interesting note: it was the first time the code s.o.s was used,before that it was cqd
hi folks - catching up with the grid and the chat - red, please don't joke about melanoma - I had one removed from my back and it left a big scar -
that bit I did know, but I'm wild to find out about Cunnard and the ship builder's activities since then...
lol jbv like i said my belly is criss crossed with scars from that
thats why i harp about sun screen
I started using sunscreen carefully and regularly when I was in my late 20's - by then the damage had been done
No no, jbv, I was not joking. a few years ago, I met a guy 20 years old, came in to have a cancer taken off his hind end....
yikes
yup,i shake my head at all those pretty girls crisping themselves on the beach with nothing but baby oil
and then, I kept meeting himin Pre op area he kept having to come back and back to try to clear margins, it was awful.
even if you do not get cancer,you end up with saddle skin at 60
when I was a kid, no one talked about the danger of sunning, so yearly lobster sunburns were part of the routine for me, now we know better, so we have to be careful,
I have to admit, My Dad hates the beach so I never had a beach vacation as it was, I am in fairly good shape comparitively, but now living where I live, I do need to think about it.
i see all those 60-65 year old florida women in my inlaws picture book,they do indeed look like a old saddle
Cross, you should see some of the older Florida Ladies! they do have the Saddle skin and the deep voices on top of it. very not what I want to appear like.
it's funny - tans are really big here, but where I'm from it's considered more attractive to be pale.
indeed nb
in old times the more pale,the more prized as only the well to do could afford not to be out working all day in the sun
when I was working as a host, we weren't allowed to get tans! or have a bad hair day ;)
Yup Nancy, here in Florida, I see some people with really white skin and I look at them like, "What happened" Most of us end up with some sort of yellowy coloration if we are active outdoors.
even living in australia..i never tanned... i used to say pale and healthy...
Ok minor rant here: THe TV says my favorite cartoon is on. It IS NOT on, a horrid "SUiete life on deck" is on. :(
what is reds fav cartoon?
Phineas and Ferb!
clue for ta 5/14
Cross you would love Phineas and Ferb

and the side story is their pet platypus who is a secret agent. I forgot that.
nrgh. I'm only about halfway, but I think I'm going to fold on this grid ... it can sail off into the distance, unsunk.
night, all
I think everyone's thinking about how much they'd like a secret agent pet platypus...
hi fellow babblers!
tonight showing is the bucket list with jack nicolson and morgan freeman followed by pixars movie called up
tc city17
ooh, haven't heard of that film, but two good actors
Ach, I should get ready to go out soon. Celebrating my coming of age day!
Happy Birthday NB!

congratulations nancy!!! glad you're celebrating
Well Happy Adulthood then!
hey, thanks! it's scary really - means I'll have to stop thinking of myself as a boy and start saying MAN ;)
it's not that bad once you get used to it
anyone have the top O for NBT?
i am surprised the korean calendar computes that way NB
LOL!
Yeah Jmc, it's not the most logical thing - I don't think it actually lines up with the Western calendar, but I'm living here, so needs must!
ob+archi****
I know people who call 50 year old men boys, of course they are 70 or 80 lol
ah well then welcom to adulthood
ty
ta ;) of course I'm going to celebrate it in the maturest of ways...tequila ;)
now I can go home
atta boy
atta man
lol
now do not destroying yourself nb:)
do not forget to eat the algave worm
ewww...I'll pass ;)
awww, the little dutch boy is soooo cute
but of course not destroying myself, Crossy. They come with slices of lime as part of my 5 a day ;)
what little dutch boy?
the survivor of the plane crash, I feel so sad for him
sorry, it was just on the news
oh yes that is very sad
how is the boy doing?
I wonder how he survived...
I think good, he went home
hello all
help with ac6/21 pls
multiple broken legs but cheerful -- when i think of my son losing his dad at 8 i have to wonder how much he understands
amazing
he's living with an aunt and uncle now
Oh jmc, that must have been very hard
ac+not out+ who **e you?
it was and it took a while for my son to really understand i think
ty, jmc
and of course my son wasn't in too much physical pain (some because the day after his dad died he tripped on concrete stairs and need six stitches)
where this kid is got to be in pain or doped up for a while
yw peri
oh my, poor baby
lol I spent so mych time in the pediatric emergency room with that boy that we were all on first name basis
never saw a risk he wasn't willing to take
Hopefully his aunt and uncle are very supportive peoploe
*people
no way to tell from the news reports really . . . I mean they went to pick him up and brought him home and all so . . . can't be too bad
On another note, could someone send some warm weather this way?
Seas spray its boiling here, feel free.
its cool and raining here
its supposed to be storming, but in reality it is just getting really humid sprinkling alittle and then...
damp, raining, crappy,
oooh, I love summer thunderstorms!
i would love on now...
this rain is good for the garden sea
i like them too nb
if it was warm rain jmc I wouldn't care lol
its nearly 60 sea
also heard some very bad news on the oil spill, so if I get rid of cold, i guess I have to go enjoy the beach befor it gets oiled.
crazy weather yesterday it was 90 , today 68 and rain
what did you hear red?
the last i heard they were starting to syphon about 20% off to a bo**
that it is probably going to make tis way around the end of florida and find itself on the east coach beaches.
But we have heard this off and on since the spill, its always in the news.
any clue for the as5 ?
as+girls name minus a letter
that thing still gushing oil? heads should roll for that
yoga, think yoga.
I watched 60 mins last night and it was very very sobering. a lot of shortcuts, make for a sad situation...
BP is doing pretty much everything is can including saying it will pay for it all regardless of the legal cap
the company which owned the well is ducking and weaving
doesn't the law require them to have emergency plans BEFORE the emergency?
the law also caps their liability
why is that?
it is clear that there was error especially the dead battery in the back system!
why? because george w and cheney are in the oil industry
the law was their response to the Valdez spill
okay I am off for a while. bbl
oh, that makes sense then ( grumble, grumble(
bye jmc
you know, the thing that inflames me so much is that it really doesnt matter how much money they throw at people, the coast will never be the same.
and the world would be a different place compeltely without the oil such rigs pump ...
i am not against pumping, but I am really against not replacing safety valves when pieces of them start coming up with the drilling.
um yeah. not ideal.
the guy on 60 minutes described a lot of issues that were avoidable, as if often the case in these big problems.
oh yes. but that's all industries, not just oil
indeed.
lordy i have 118 left.
I'm just very grateful in a strange way that it was BP involved. A lot of oil companies have a lot less of a sense of responsibility
i hope it does not come round to my beaches, but...it is already affecting things.
every beach in the world will be affected, if only in a very very minor way
true, Ata, I guess I just keep thinking of the things that I know, which is the only way I htink most people relate well to stuff.
oh yes, only natural! I have a stranger automatic viewpoint being immersed in marine management!
exactly....the way I view health care systems, and others usually look at how it will affect them only.
and also I used to work on a contract basis for BP :P
Well, They really have messed up our gulf, in this event.
Hi, just starting and already only have 262 words left.
yes, they really have
Think locally and buy globally. Or something like that.
good Job and Hello Stidgeme.
I'm about ready to buy some good pairs of shoes and go globe trotting on my own trotters.
I do wonder thouhg Ata will this pil Kill off the non native stuff faster, probably it will just kill everything.
travel Stid?
evening all - this grid is killing me - does any one have clues for the in7 and in6 please
Yes, enjoyed Quebec but realize there are lots of local places I should explore.
all equally I would think
the in 6 is a beginning, usually of an idea.
would be nice to be rid of lion fish...
poor lion fish!
in7 = this one in***** of that one
now Ata they are not native and they kill native things...
I know .... but I do love them - in their rightful place

yw
Kazzer many thanks!!!! I needed it!!!
yw red - its taken me all evening to do this grid - still got 35 to go
my son get bbq jumbo angus burgers with cheese and all the fixins and we get fish,rice and steamed veggie;((
I've been at it on and off all day, took a sick day from work, not feeling so hot.
cross, your dinner sound much much tastier.
Kazzer, you do not have to do pb time because your clues helped so many on the outside of the pb.
exactly stidgmere.
so not fair is it crossy
Oh and Stidgmere, I agree, I have been trying to do a lot of local visiting lately, amazing whats in ones own "backyard"
Crossy, you are describing my dinner tonight. We are really trying to eat more healthy meals.
thanx Mere - it is quite a trcksy one but will finish but cant stay up too late as i have to get up at 0530 tomorrow
though i do love rice,when i do not do rice from scrath,i like to use the lipton side dish broccoli and cheddar rice
lol up here red,good fences make good neighbours lol
Cross, I was meaning that is a proverbial sense, Stidgmere is thinking about exploring her local environs!
ahh lol
Well cross that cheddar adds a ton of fat indeed.
and I am sure it tastes good.
now with 103 left, may have to nap again!
no no,it come in at 4% of fat content,im not actually addin cheddar,it is just a flavoring
Have a good rest red.
thats pretty good then.
tc red
You are very good at menu planning, I'm thinking, Crossy.
need to be to lose this 50 pounds;) i have always done the cooking anyways.ole crossy can cook up a storm;)))
the fish is a new one for me tupalo(sp)
i need someone to cut lowfat but tasty things for me
talapia?
We like home meals but I need to revise the transfats which is not a huge adjustment.
it is the most sustainable fish to eat
thats it
you are doing a good thing when you eat talapia rather than any other fish
did not know that jmc
as i say this fish is totally new to me
tilapia is a very sustainable fish, when farmed well
is mit a bred fish in fish farms?
up here we also do pickerell(walleye) in fish farms
yes, it can be farmed
yes farmed
as well as lake trout
and not a bottom feeder so not so yucky
i was part of a work group that put 50,000 fingerlings in a lake up here
was a ton of fun;)
sounds fun
it was,theese big pens for them all raised till they were 4 inches in length them we had to release them and ice fishing was suspended for 3 years
awwwww

er stanford set up the program i think but crossy and ata set up the babble team
yes,what i ment to say
i have all three of my computers set up with it so no matter which one I am on I am folding
yaa for jmc!!!!
and my office computer is on 24/7 so it gets a lot done!
yay jmc!
if your computer is the one to unlock a key protien,it gets named after you :)
*dances around with a big red finger on hand* I'm number one! i'm number one!
crossy gives jmc a big ole bear hug
i run folding at home on the gaming computer,this one alas is not powerfull enough for it
it just seems to me doing something that costs me 0 and takes about 2 seconds a day that does something good is a no brainer
absolutely!
reading up on it ... that's great
team 173981 wild and babbleland is marching ahead for the end of cancer!
i need one more O I have get rid of, grain, ob6, and babblet
it is a amazing thing we all can do together wildcat
I have the same jmc
sigh
we can do 200 "man years" of computer work in a single year
oa5 oa & number
not sure which one jm ... there are 2 grains
ahem "people years"
absolutely amazing crossy
"people years"
two grains that start with O?
oa4 and oa5
lol i laughed when they renamed manhole covers "maintenence access portholes" lol
two grain-words that start with O, yes.
"satan" isn't a word?!
aha got the oa5 and now have 1/2 way!
that's what i said fusi!
there is an adj from that word though, fusilli
probably considered a proper noun
yaa for jmc!!
duh ty
it is a better description crossy since that is what they are not grave lids
which is really silly to consider satan a proper noun
very silly!
You can extend it though
but we all agree enable is silly
hi lynxxx

95 words to find in an hour and a half -- I don't think so.
lol,the world also needs women who can only sit there and look good gramma lol
hi Jilli
jillibus, I haven't even started. Maybe I could help you and get my fix that way?
Hello Jilli.
how can she be utterly dumb and graduated early adn passed the bar? Should we be worried about lawyers :P
No she's amazingly beautiful and brilliant
I thin k Gramma had her tongue firmly stuck in her cheek
Any clues for as5,10?
she passed the bar?? must be something rattling around up there then
sorry! *doh* it's late here!
as & the end of the curved yellow fruit
Thanks lynxxx!
I have to go cook and unpack. Thanks everyone for caring. You have no idea how much it means to me.
Bye Gramma, congrats again - you did good!

Hello hurshy!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Hi Red, wow, that is something
are you serious, red?! that's crazy!!!
THANK YOU JILLI!!!!! i have always wondered why that was!
thanks, mom
is that even legal? it'll be caffeine next
you are so welcome Jillibus
Yes, I am serious. Alreayd they have the insurance premium up for those who smoke, which I think makes sense.
:) hurshy
that seems excessive.
I think it is legal.
In truth the cost over the years of smokers vs non smokers as employees is obvious. but I had no idea they could do that.
I do not smoke.
well i have! i am so happy to have a new piece of knowledge. especially one i really wanted. it's like when you're doing a jigsaw puzzle and you have a bunch of open space but the one piece that makes you the happiest to find is the one from the middle of the part you have mostly done!
i agree nothing worse a a heath professional working on you while reeking of tobacco
But I am going to work for another hospital in about 8 days.
I wish you all the best Red
It will be fine, and so much closer to my house. I am pleased.
good luck to you, red
Now If I could find 74 words.
would love a clue for the 8 letter and some 7s. i dont have any.
i recall going to a pediatrician once who smoked. my mom did not take me back.
ar7/32 a healing herb
ic7 - floating thing that brings frozen water. plural for iC8
It's a very stong stand against smoking, I am impressed but also surprised.

we were in the airport recently and they said over the PA system "reminder: smoking is not allowed in the terminal except in designated areas" and i said, "of which hopefully there are none!"
I 20 years ago, one of the doctors in the hospital where I worked was obese and smoked!!
I think Peri you will still find both those conditions in several MD's today!

hey, dorens!

morning all
No I do not particularly want children, its just sort of amazing to me how this year everyone is pregnant!
my daughter is having that same experience red ... she's almost 24, all her friends are having babies or have just had, and she's feeling a little left out
ahh, busy bunnies during the colder climes...*wink*
i think its facebook, you know more than you used to prior...
Hello girlie! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
thanks!
hi girlie!
started last night, back for the final 100
24 and without a kid to anchor her down...hmmm, not such a bad image. but i suppose i can understand how she's feeling...tell her to volunteer babysitting one of those babies. that'll fix the urge real quick!
i need a snack. i've been soo hungry all day. (and NO, i'm not pregnant!)
no kidding ... she needs to finish school first and find a decent guy, then she can think about that
if you say so, feather.
when's school out bee?
28 weekdays. not that i'm counting.
june 22
of course not ... that seems late though! we're out at the end of next week
that is later, but you guys start later...also. we start in August. end in May.
when do you start?
end of August
we start the wednesday after labor day
that's only about a week later ... you take snow days?
brb!

and FW for me too , now for cold meds and bed.
I want to go get them out from under there and put them in my garage
how ddry will it be under there?
yay red.. not silly wild, but they're probably just fine
woohoo red!!
do you like bleeding?
it's raining hard ... worried about flooding
And can I say its a little alarming, I am readnig the Cobra event, a book about germ war, and the people sick start with a cold and then the brain explodes. ugh.
lol
and I have a codl.
belated yay red!
try not to think about it red. and no more reading tonight
*eyes red warily*
hold on to your head when you cough, then

and no wildcat, you are not being silly, you are being a normal caring human...
ty resisting urge to go outside in storm to check
wouldn't the mom cat move them if it was bad enough?
Wild, they are kittens. who wouldnt want to love them a bit...other than your nutty neighbour.
i'd hope so, but they've let her have so many i don't think she cares anymore
go check, you can at least set your mind at rest.
there was a different litter in my yard last year that were drowning in rainwater and i had to go get my neighbor to move them. the mama cat took off

hello all.
I am down to 103, will list in three more words and then go back to writing essay-responses in 20 minutes. Stidkid's ER-worthy infection is clearing up nicely...
hi stid!
ER worthy? yikes.
yep. He had a noticeable purple "bruise" on his face that was worrisome, it didn't do a lot before he went to sleep, but when I checked on him at midnight Friday it was suddenly really bad. So off we went to the ER. I got to sleep at 5 am Saturday. Still recovering. You>?
there. down to 99. listing
erm, compared to that? i'm just peachy!
64 here
ohhhh, stid! i just remembered, i have to drag you into a letterblox game against me sometime when you're not busy!

I am done with this quarter in three weeks feather!

Ask me then...
ooooh, you're free now?

It worked, yippee, 63 left
May I please have a clue for ar6-21 the 2nd? Thanks
leave off the last vowel gem
ar + ni5, minus last letter
old-fashioned treatment for pain
sa7?
I got down to 7 left, then used Lickety today - got all the weird ones on my own
and plural gap
Thanks much, gremlinn.
sa7=evil
sa7: "devil"-ish
wicked kje
ty - had tried that 5 but wouldn'ttake... but te 7 does
it takes the -ism and -ist forms as well
makes as much sense as anything enable does
the 5 would be a proper noun, so it does make a twisted sort of sense
considering how many derogatives are in it you have to wonder why it won't accept the 5
I think, because it's only used as a proper noun
nothing proper about it! Especially nowadays
i am fighting so hard to stay awake... only 18 left
but the -ic, -ism, -ist, etc., have fallen into common noun usage
but there is no consistancy
I wouldn't fault Enable for that
no - just the people who created it
satan is a like a person.. not a word
Nor them - it's just that "sa7" isn't capitalized under most usage anymore - just how English has evolved.
unless you are talking about the IRS
5
sa5 is just a name, but the sh7 variant is a word in the dictionary
(sheitan)
te7?
like leonardo's boat kje
think ship that sank in the 20's but with dif first vowel
ty
muscle tension i believe
hi ru - you do realise that there are some who think calling it a boat is a cardinal sin????
that's one of the two definitions, other being "related to tetanus"
FW!
ty so much for all your help hoot... I think you clued 1/2 of my 7's!
oh and I didn't say hi to gremlinn
tetanus is named after the muscle spasms it causes
you are quite welcome kje - fun once in a while
sokinda the same root
congrats
tetanus causes tetany
and on that light note... I must sleep!
gn
harp are you still hiding out there?
yep, same root
nite kje
ok - I'm going to take off til flip - bbl
May I please have a clue for ac5-12? Thanks
ac 5/12 past tense of ac 4/5
Thanks, fuzzybunny, I have that as ac5-14. Reword, perhaps? Thanks
Sorry gapeach, my eyes are blurry and I looked at the wrong word. I don't have the ac 5/12.
Thanks any way, fb.
ac + greek letter
Thanks, gremlinn.
thanks from me too.
need ac 6 plz.
ac + ra4 backwards
i have many ra 4s.
none of the ra words i have work backwards.
