chances
andree has etoile and toilet confused
Guys stick together ;)

any clue for the es 6-27 please
n

how about the ae word?
sigh I have to put out the washing too
ab7: to make less is to re****, but start ab. 3rd person singl for 7
es is a coin in the country I will be visiting in October
work or play, lawyer-1?
thanx
I have a question why is it I don't win awards at class but I always get asked for help
2 cr7.40 differ by last vwl only. Hello all
hi lynxx
Hello Lynxx
I do not know, lady. Perhaps you don't get top scores but you are social, friendly and know your business?
got to go have brunch with shadow and his litter
ty, Lynxx
hi lyn
ty both
I did not get your clue, Sprite
like the ab word..thanks Sprite
you can re**** the sound, you can in**** a hypnotic trance.
brb
Sprite someone put it as I don't ass kiss enough
it means to draw away or take away
yvw lyn :)
do u still need the n, ruby?
got it, Sprite, thanks
might be that too, lady. And if so, the award is for asskissing and you don't need an award for that. So no worries.
my pleasure lawyer-1
it just shirts me off that one of the girls that got an award was asking for help lke what the hell
shirts me off??????
sounds like life to me, dear lady. Just go on doing your study like you do and don't give a sh$% about awards, i'd say.
drop the r
Lawyer drop the R (trying to be polite)
must be unique to Australia....we use pi$$es me off
I have a question. If today's them is bears can Ata use Hobbit in her bear faze?
I can easily see how the one evolves from the other, though, laywer-1 ;)
Don't get distracted by the politics Infernal. You are there for the knowledge and a good pass - and it seems as though you are getting those
of course, lady! Creativity in themes is essential.
We do also say ''She was four shirts to the wind''
but, 'tis better to be pi$$ed off than pi$$ed on
too true
four sheets Infernal!
O (that too)
lolllllll
I am down to 2 words....the ae and the last fa
See this is what happens when you try and translate someone that has a voice that has the same base frequency as Darth Vadar
ae & Merce*** Benz
a + the Garden of E**n, plural
ty, both
yvw
Lynxx I was wondering why that saying never made sense
is the last fa fa4.8 or crazes?
am laughing so hard about the sheets or shits in the wind :D
lets hope its not shits in the wind, that could get very messy
no I did mean shirts not sh?ts
no Lynxx...it is fa6/33 and follows crazes
ah ok, so my dirty mind
that is fine
I can't find these CR 7s
I have it, but how to clue it...
mm
YAH to channel 10 for giving away the Eurovision final. Cheers thanks
fa6.33 like the word for taps but change the end t to another letter
it means: cavity at the back of the mouth, leading into the pharynx; or vestibule of an ancient Roman house. It is like the watertap but change last letter
giving away the Songfestival? How do you mean?
They announced the winners.
Don't tell me!
lady: think of that socalled holy war, where knights went to Jerusalem to kill in the name of God
oh man, how stupid can they get?
Lynxx I wouldn't do that. Just remember don't listen to the news
ty, 1 and all! ¡¡sʞɹoÊÇɹıɟ
yayyyy lawyer-1, good job!
Congrats Lawyer!!
I could not have done it without all the help from the little people.
lolllllllllllllll *kicks lawyer-1*

anybody need clues - lol
quite possible, lawyer, grin. It IS good to have you around again!

good morning babblers
morning Nanette!
mmm
Hi Dear Nono
at least 3 cr7
lady... do you have one?
I have it now
morning Nono
having a frustrating weekend, bruce went to hospital on Friday for a small test- doc said he didn't want to do it afterall "go home in themorning" but he didn't tell the staff so Bruce cant go home and the doc hasn't answered calls to him (the doc needs to discharge him) he feels like he is in prison
cr7/36 is not related to cr7/40 x 2
bah rude
aw, miscommunication, so frustrating, sandy
That was at Sandy by the way
2/3 days for nothing, I would be ropeable
private health and he cant discharge himself without compromising the costs
Annnnnnnd I am still lost
lady: Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Last?
I am furious but at least he is forced to rest and i am not having to cook his dinner (every cloud has a silver lining
I'd have a hissy fit for sure, sandy. Two at least.
O my gods I just realised Something daft. Sorry Just fish me
Sandy I am betting he is so furious that he's not resting much
oh... lol no that is 2 titles mixed up. The movie with Sean Connery as his dad... last word.
*slaps lady carefully with a guppy*
he is hyperactive so he is really frustrated
I am not hyperactive and I would be really frustrated. He must be ready to kill, poor man.
Oh! Just got your reference to the Holy Wars earlier. Wasn't paying attention :-) ty sprite
I am astonished that the doctor can't be reached
yvw Sally!
Thanks Sprite

Ok someone just give me a hot chocy and take me too bed for a sleep.
lady, u r making me blush!
other words come from it too herin
:D *makes lady a hot choc with tiny marshmellows and cuddles her up in bed*
Hey I was being polite. As long as they are white marshmellows
Those other coloured ones are yucky.
yeah, of course they are white. You are not a pink girl.
Is that why the pink ones taste yuck?
I bet
Excuse my random. I need to find a male orientated nappy (diaper) bag
I am currently eating a pink marshmellow and its ok
eww
lol I think I will try roasting it on the electric heater
sandy: sent you an email
Don't do that. Or stick them in the microwave those things like to melt and turn to glue
the yellow one is not as nice
lady, I think I lost your email addy in the last crash. Could you send it to me again please?
sure
lol sandy, keep a safe distance between marshmellow and heater though!
thnx
I just sent you an email
perfect
The Russian act is so maudlin - a shocker
bah
sort of fitting for songfestivals though, lyn? Sentimental stuff often scores.

we won't take it personally, Annie
Morning Babblers Hope all is well today.
good morning Red. How are you today?
hi red
I'm ok, had a fairly good run this morning and then the shock of a long time in getting on a scale.
is it a good shock or a not so good shock?
Well, I knew I had gained, but I was hoping it was less. but No No, it was more.
Hi Beach!
oh, I am sorry
Well, In a way, its good, because it explains why my run times have been rather slow.
always better to know right?
I am sure it is more muscle than anything else. You are always exercising
No, its fat, I stopped doing anything for several months when I got injured, it caught up on me! I have gained about 20 pounds.
It is amazing how fast weight can creep up on you
but your injury is better?
sux
Yes! I knew it, but was avoiding it.
I think so Mom, its managable.
I have a back injury; my activities are mych curtailed
so weight has been piling on
:-(
that is good
can you do any pool activities Beach?
oh beachboggle. {{hugs}}
and LOVE your passion flower Beach.
I could if there were a pool around here....
Thank you red!
Oh Beach. no pool is awful. The pool has saved me so many times.
our highschool has a pool and they have evening classes and open swims for those who would like to go
I have often thought that I wish there were one accessible to me
that would be a big help, in my situation
and with school being out soon, it will be open during the summer. I think it was $2 or $3 to go
The pool here is one reason I didnt move when I was looking for a new job....crazy but true.
not crazy; I don't blame youi
I have been thinking of taking a deep water aerobics class....but everyone in it is 75 yrs old...
lol Red
mom and I did that years ago and it seems like we were the youngest ones there
lmao
it is a great workout though if you do the exercises vigorously.
i took aqua arobics years ago and loved it
deep breathing the chlorine fumes from the pool was a problem for me....lol... always something with me
the fumes can be awful at times
Good morning. I am in Philly for the weekend. My daughter is out so I can use her computer.
good morning Kaplan
I hope you enjoy your visit with your daughter
I have to go make brunch for the fam; bbl guys!
*poof*
bye bye Beach
Missing the gym this weekend. On a slimfast diet. Just 10 little pouds and all will be right with the world...
is there some place you can walk?
I wouldn't mind tossing 10-15 pounds
I have sometime offered people the virtually Faustian forced choice: :if you could choose between words peace forever or 100 extra pounds that you could never take off--ever--which would you chose?
I meant world peace. I am playing babble so it came out word peace.
but I think I can do it. I got cortisone shots in both knees I feel like a new person
Most people have lied when they answer.
They say they would choose world peace.
hi, Kap - make it 20 pounds and I will sign on, I actually have lost 50 pounds and I can never think of going back to that
congratulations, JBV and good morning
This is 1oo extra pounds or world peace. No bargaining.
thanks, Mom, but actually it is a war with no truce, a constant daily battle - I;ve kept most of it off for 3 years, am about 8 pounds over where I was then
The devil is merciless.
if I took the 100 pounds that would put me to 249. and not guarantees that world peace would stay that way.
my sweetie has lost 20 pounds since January. He detest exercise but is careful about what he eats.
our pool is outdoors Beach so very little fumes. i remember the indoors one...
he says the same thing as you ....it is a constant battle
This is the deal. PERMANENT world peace, + 100 extra PERMANENT pounds, or the world as it is.
Red, Beach left to fix brunch
it would be a very unhealthy peaceful world
I'm so evil.
Oh Sorry I left for a minute to see what was on my email. I need to make a lunch soon as well. going to be hard to eat after the scale.
JBV- that it would.
I am watching this "Deadliest Catch" Marathon, have been sucked into reality TV...but this is more like a documentatry.
lol JBV. World peace through morbid obesity. ...everyone tires too quickly to fight.
be back in a bit.
Smaller sees how that goes.
fortunately we will never be given such an option. You would be the ONLY one with the 100 extra pounds.
I thought of that too, smaller :)
So my extra 15 pounds isn't a health problem. ...It's an effort towards a global solution.
This is an obnoxious question, but I hate it when people lie and say "oh , world peace of course" without a pause.
Well, enough of that. Heard any good jokes lately?
not a joke, but a really funny story from work: grandmother goes to deliver dinner to daughter who's working late.....
and?
waiting....
daughter gives mom the key code to her car, key code doesn't work, grandma tries the door, the car is unlocked!
I can relate to that.
puts dinner ont he passenger seat, two hours later gets a call from daughter, "Mom, where's the dinner you promised me?"
you guessed it - dinner placed in wrong car!!!!
I can relate to that too.
Oh no!
And that!!
I tried like crazy to get into someone elses car the other day!
we are all imagining the face of the driver when he discovered room service in his car
I imaigne it was a nice dinner too!!!!
yes, red, made with loving care by grandma for mom and three kids
Awwww.
I once call a friend whose car I borrowed saying that when I got to the parking lot, there was a big scratch along the side and the door wouldn't open!
probably thrown in the trash cause who would eat a surprise package like that?
I bet u already know the outcome of that story
half way. Hope it was the wrong car Kap.
You betcha, says Lady Sarah.
I am always terrified when I drive someone elses car!
Me too, red
good morning
Morning DR! I loved seeing the ship photos on FB.
the car I was trying to get into wasn't even the same color as the one I borrowed!
Good Morning Red ! We had a wonderful time. The Californian is the official Tall Ship of California
Hence the name. :)
it looked like a good experience.
Jacob said the only thing he did not like was night watch at 2:30 am and the breakfast of " Mush"
I was glad I did not sleep on the ship though

Good day to all.
hey scrabs
hi, Scrabbs!
After being awake for almost 2 hrs during the night I ended up sleeping til 1019. Yikes.
wow, Scrabbs, I hope it was reall good sleep.
sounds pretty normal to me ;)
like the bear DR>
It was once I fell asleep at 3. I was physically exhausted after a long, rigorous mountain bike ride in the evening. I think that revved me up and prevented me from relaxing those first few hrs.
Oh NB, you would hate living with me. I get up at 4 am, eat take a nap and then get up again and go running....
ab + sounds like a pair of twos pl
clue the th 5,16 please
thanks Red- sorry I was away pouring coffee
th + vowel + will you **come my friend
th + **b and flow + vowel
its ok, I am starting to think about lunch, wish I had not wieghed myself.
thanks mom
I am not a morning person but I don't like sleeping too late on a beautiful day.
thanks mom for the ab clue. Also got me the ed words.
Oh my god, Red! I thought I was doing well the other day because I got up at 6. Just couldn't sleep! I do run in the mornings though (when I see the mornings)
TY, LA
yw
Well, NB, I can admit I go to bed at like 9-10 pm, AND, its just oo hot after 6 to really go running.
Hi Mom needs, how is our favorite Quitter?
haha red
oh Leslie- Thanks for the comment on the bear- I am reading chog now
hi, Mom!
going strong at 39 days
Hi NB - how are you doing?
thanks mom and leslie
On work days I go to bed by 10 and get up at 6. If I am off the next day or on vacation I stay up to 12-1 and sleep til9.
go MomNeeds GO! Gets out faded pom poms and cheers her on.
Yay mnh! Great, great progress!
well I'm the opposite Red - generally, I'm more likely to get home and go to bed at 6! But then, I'm kind of a night person
I do also enjoy my fair share of napping.
all the better for hearing that you're still going strong, Mom ;)
Well, I am starting night shift tomorro, so I shall be a night person again. Grrr.
I am not a napper, unless sick.
i'm sick
dang cold
I will be hiking later today in a big park with a maze of trails through the woods. I bought a map so that will help.
oh no Joanne-
and burnt too
Hi, Joanne :) sorry to hear you're ill! hope you feel better soon
SOunds like fun Scrabs
hi nb and ty
Hi Joanne. Sucks for that first 5 days or so.
I am out of town and needed some ambien because where I am in really noisy, and like a true addict, I frantically tried to figure out a way that some doc who doesn't know me woud prescribe me a couple for the holiday weekend
hi scrabs
kaplan, get melatonin--1 or 3 mg tablets.
most milder meds don't work for me.
clue the su 5,14 please?
My wt loss program is finally working---6 lbs! I added wt lifting to my regimen of hiking + biking.
that sucks red
nice work scrabs!
good for you scrab!
rnp it's what the Beach Boys liked to do
woohoo for Scrabs
well done you, Scrabbs :)
I need to get back into the shape I was in back in the 90's.
u go scrabs
Well kje, I will be banking the money and it may not be so bad.
So do I. I am on a slimfast diet. This time, I take no prisoners.
what with Mom and I quitting smoking, and all the exercise that seems to be going on around here, we're really quite a healthy bunch today. Apart from poor Joanne ;)
it will suck
Now that I have weighed myself, I can find out if I have been losing weight. I am NOT on a slimfast diet.
KJE, dont be so definite.
we are all biking and cut out so4 and sweets
The last time I worked nights at a small hospital, I had time to read books....
i need the 5 above it
that was several years ago.
sorry - red... true, maybe you will have time - but your clock will be opposite now
I am not weighing myself until I hit the 60 day mark and then will need your support all over again - with all your successes you can plan my weight loss regimen for me - yeah I like that idea
su + a family ***st (coat of arms), rnp
I drink Slimfast 1-2 times daily on work days. I also started wt lifting and I think that has made a huge difference.
yes. it may actually work out ok the nights, as the hospital is literally across the street from the pool...
ty, LA
weight lifitng builds muscle which burns more calories all the time than that yellow fat.
You will adjust, Red, and create a new routine.
so what? you plan to skip out and swim? LOLOL
I'm eating slimfast bars. I go to the gym on a regular basis anyway.
After work, I plan to swim each and every day at 7:15 after I leave.
I do hope someone moves, gets married, has a baby, finds they cant take the day routiene soon...
i got message from cable company that i reached my 100 percent gb capacity and i would be charged more.. by the time i got off the phone i got 30 percent off the cable and 30 percent off the internet and more gb's lol
I always get stuck on some silly little last word. Help please be4.8 - the one after the place where you sleep
Yes, red, I realized that a few wks ago after being frustrated for the last few months of aerobic exercise.
personally, I don't like things like slimfast - more and more I think people just need to eat real food in moderation, avoid all the processed grocery store crap and eat the perimeter
wow, you're all so organised. I just don't gain weight because I'm a fidgeter. I never sit still so I guess I must burn energy all the time.
good job Joanne!
LOL - QTG Joann!
with you kje, I am about eating real actual food. But then again, I am not the one to take eating advice from.
i think someone is using my internet
Way to go, Joanne!
NB, when you get to our age, things will be different!
I eat pretty healthfully and have been a vegetarian for years, but one can gain weight on healthy food too.
I never gained weight as a kid.
mens metabolism is much different than a woman
and age
On work days Slimfast is quick + easy.
indeed Kaplan. lately though I have been surprised at what is considered healthy.
thanks leslie...fireworks...
true, that. Plus, I'm vegan, so cut out a lot of fat that way.
hooray rnp!
woohoo rnp!
tytyty was proud that i didn't have blood boiling or yelling involved
My favorite t-shirt pictures a graph like in a research study and says "Broken down by age and sex."
I had 4 abdominal/pelvic operations from '98-'03 and gained a lot of wt.
Yahoo rnp!
oh no scrabbs
congrats rnp
i refuse to step on a scale.i let my pants do the talking
My favorite story about the word vegan was when my daughter was about 8, she told a mom we know about her teenage daughter--:"I heard she's a virgin!"
She meant vegan.
LOL Joanne!
The last surgery involved removal of ovaries (age 44) and menopause started instantly--metabolism plummeted to that of a rock.
deeha, just change the last letter on your where you sleep word
Haha, Kaplan.
All this talk of slimming is making me hungry. Pass the chocolate creams!! Halp please be4.8 my last word
ty again la
lol, Kaplan! Well, I'm just a vegan ;)
Sorry Leslie you just beat me to it
I understand that - I had a hyst at 46 - slam....
be + ** you know the way to san jose (sounds like)
I didn't step on a scale for about 15 years, and when I finally did, it gave me a rude surprise. I knew my clothes weren't fitting right, but this ended my denial
NB, I am about to give up seafood/fish and am pondering going all the way to vegan.
OK thats fireworks ty Leslie.
yes, I had to go looking for my scale, but I may need to put it away.
woohoo deeha
Yahoo Deeha!
Oh scrabbler. Salmon.
I just came back in from my screened in deck. one of my plants has been really chomped. Initially I thought it was the dog, but then I see a rather big blackish caterpillar...wonder if I should move it outside or leave it and see if it becomes anything. and how did it get there.
fireworks! hi everyone :)
Ohhh, good for you, Scrabbs! It's not something you regret - good for you physically and morally
I know, red, it's good for us, and I have frozen filets in my freezer, but I am increasingly bothered by eating all animals now, even fish, scallops (I love them), etc
Yippee pappa!
congrats smooth papa
hey nancy! how's your hand?
Yes, NB, I am very close to making that decision.
a little scarred but perfectly functional, thanks, Smooth ;) can't believe you remembered; that was a while ago! how are you?
doing ok... I need to go into work for a bit today, and I just keep putting it off. :) but other than that, fine.
well I can only recommend it Scrabbs :) I wish more people would
last fa6?
it would be better for the planet, well, I think eating less red meat would make the biggest impact.
last FA6: It's what water comes out of in your sink (but take out the cross letter and plural it)
thx papa
ty, pappa
no prob, guys
Hmm, I hear that. I don't know why procrastination makes a day go so fast - something I learnt whilst "revising" for my A-levels.
Going to make more tea. Anybody want some?
Quite right, Red. Plus, if non-vegans knew all the muck they were eating...such as what's really in milk...they'd think again
phantom = surface
Depends on where you get your Milk, NB. I grew up in a dairying community, cows are not clean.
ed clues?
I drink soy or almond or rice milk. I do love cheese + eggs.
BRB--will make tea
so, no recommendations on what to do about my own very hungry caterpillar???
e and 2 in cards
does depend on that, Red, but yer everyday supermarket milk contains more "ingredients" than one might expect.
lots of antibiotics. But Milk is excellent in a weight loss program.
de
antibiotics, blood, pus...
yup cows, not clean.
what to do about my caterpillar...will go google.

yaahh, jus wonderin.... wat wuld u say if i liked man u??
thanks movie..looked it up and got it
I'd probably have a long argument about which team was better
yw ruru
anyway movie, ur team won this season.. they surely deserved it anyway...who do u think would be crowned as world cup champions this year? who is ur fav player by the way//
im not a man u fan, but there much better than chelsea
hei tickymong...
Lurking fireworks - Happy Babbling & Happy Memorial Weekend everyone
Fave player: Drogba or Lampard, and World Cup Winners, probably Argentina ('cos of Lionel Messi)
hey high five!! i was thinking abt argentina as well..
chelsea r only relying on Roman,s millions, wait till he,s had enough then well see ow good chelsea r when they av 2 sell their players 2 make book balance
Spain 4 the world cup
i think spain has a lower chance... u c even usa has beat them. not that usa isnt any good but it was certainly an unexpected surprise..
Man U are in debt as well, don't forget
Plus at least half their players are getting on a bit
movie tisk tisk
maybe but they av a world wide following,dont see 2 many chelsea shirts in china/japan etc
yeahh, i know.anyhoo, chelsea r better than them in sooo many other ways... having better players like drogba is certainly a gift
hey joanne
hi tella
drogba could win medals at swimming.(Diving)
Hi! fa 6/33?
That's getting old now, ticky
old maybe,but as the saying goes, the old ones r the best

buenos dias amiga
Hello, kje and others. Good grid. I like new words that are not often used but are not odd in and of themselves.
... and Fireworks!
YAY Merk!
Wow, where is everybody? I know it's a holiday weekend, but ....
hey all, taking a study break. How's life?
Hooray Merk!
stiddy!!
Life's better since my neighbors helped me capture my canine escape artist!
I'm here lurking, Merk. Just finished, too.
she had a fine old time dashing around for several hours! LOL
Life is good, and so was the grid.
LOL good for them! we returned a pretty adolescent lab to her family today... she wandered into our house and the younger stidkid took her out to find her home.
hey, merk, and congrats!
Ooh. We have nice neighbors like that, too! (Except it was only a few minutes.)
YAY Mudd!
See ya'll tomorrow.
ty
see you later Mudd
not only did she get a great cardio workout, she obviously also had a fabbo swim in the creek! :-)
she's nearly 12 and still thinks she's a teenager! LOL
so is she cleaner, or just wetter?
cleaner? noooo :-)
but unlike the last time, she doesn't stink!
good she doesn't stink.
:-D
Were you near the flooding Une?
several counties flooded, merk -- i was very lucky -- but sooo many people had everything from flooded garages to complete loss of their homes.
That is so sad!
for once I was very glad to not to have a basement
flooding is just awful. we are UP and back from the cliffs at the water's edge and I still worry about flooding.
Stid, I noticed the NW gathering on Aug. 21 ... bummer ... I'll be in the area Aug. 14 for a wedding. We're vacation on the way out and then again on the way home so we can't hang around for a week unfortunately. I love Babble, but this is my chance to see some Nationa Parks between here and there.
Have the rivers gone down so that if you have a normal rain it won't cause problems?
Local volunteers have truly accomplished miracles -- even Anderson Cooper, and other national news people who were here, commented on the huge difference it made that neighbors helped neighbors, musicians performed benefit concerts, etc.
Rivers have gone down but I know everyone affected by the flooding is totally panicked every time it rains now
I think you will have a lovely time, Merk! August is about the best month to visit us (less likely to have rotten weather, but no guarantee
We've had 17 inches this month
We've seen that volunteerism around here after tornadoes, too. Americans are great that way and other countries have begun to notice and imitate. The Chinese people have started to plunge in after floods and earthquakes.
I would be happy to drive up to meet you for coffee if you like -- I will be done with my summer school by then.
that is an excessive amount of precip, Une
no kidding, stid!!
Yikes, 17. We don't get a whole lot more than that in a whole year here!
The wedding is Olympia on the 14th.
it was a LIFETIME rainfall record
oh! LOL then I don't have to drive far... I am just outside Olympia. Think about it, and if you want to, my email is my login name at gmail.copm
oops. gmail.com. I think my figners are getting tired
only good thing is it's made my hydrangeas more flowery than ever before
and with luck, Une, some of the rain will be recharging your aquifers for the wells and rivers.
I get back from China on the 7th and as soon as my husband can get away we are leaving. So our itinerary is sketchy yet. We want to see the Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier. We'll do the southern ones coming or going and the Cascade highway and Glacier the opposite time. It all depends on the calendar.
Sounds like a lovely drive through beautiful country, Merk.
the irony was that the flooding knocked out water processing plants and we had to conserve water a LOT
merk, your trip sounds wonderful!!
oh gee. that is ironic!
I know we'll be on the interstate between Olympia and Mt. Vernon, but I'm just not sure if it will be coming or going.
okay, help to get NBT, need the E next to the V. just passed halfway
I can be flexible. :-D Would love to hear about China, to be honest, one of the few places I hope to visit someday.
Hey, we have driven past all of these places before, but the only sightseeing we've done is Portland, Seattle, Mt. Rainier, and Vancouver BC
Don't have it, stid, but it's probably ed5/16 & ed6/27
thanks gwen *thinking*
ed5 - what Sherlock Holmes does, less a letter
I don't understand the abbreviations, STid, so I can't clue you.
Hello, all.
ed5 sounds like e + the number 2 card
and plural
yep. that was them! thanks also Vi!
vicuna! hi!
baser
down to 70.
Oh, duh, you're talking about a tile letter.
hey, inge!
yes inge, that was one I needed! LOL ((hugs))
NBT = No Blank Tiles, sorry Merk.
Go, stidmama, go!
wow french sugar counts???
10 to go -- back later to finish -- need to run a couple of errands --- HAGD! *poof*
Oh, thanks, stidmama.
au revoir, Une!
Well, Stid, we'll keep coffee in mind as the summer progresses. We love coffee in the NW. You're not lacking for places to meet and I'd love to talk about China ... definitely a great place to visit. See you tomorrow everybody.
Bye, Une.
pretty face today, Vi. new one?
see you later Merk! ((hugs))
nbt, hi all sorry was lurking
ty for e hints
Nah. Pretty old actually, and as an icon left over from "smiles" theme day quite a while back. But thanks. =D
go cherly go!
Bye, Merk!
Hello, cherlyq.
I am pretty excited about the prospects for art this summer, Vi -- I have a classmate who wants to paint silk scarves (she is an actual ARTIST like you), so I have an excuse to get fresh paints and materials.
hi vi and stid
Oooo, that should be fun. Silk painting has such richness and vibrancy to the colors.
listening to church and doing puzzle
yes, and I wasn't able to do any last year, so all my paints went yucky. :-( BUT it's going to be a good thing to look forward to!
Generally speaking my art prospects go down during the summer and up during school, lol. But the older the kids get, the more that changes, so we'll see. Yes, it's always nice to have projects to look forward too!
*to.
well, down to 59... I should head out.
forward to too? :-D
Bye stiddy!
Projects not counting having to repaint the porch railings, that is! =)
by stid
Bye, stidmama. Good to see you!
good to see you all! I'll have time later to babble again, and maybe even tomorrow won't have ANY schoolwork... *random overly optimistic thought*
*poof*
the de6/27 -- is it related to the prior de4/8?
no.
de6 - to lessen in value, as in a currency
ok. thanks. **thinking**
and one who does it is de7
Ahh. Thanks. But I think it's more like lessening a person, rather than a currency. (But I could be wrong!)
Enable gives both definitions!
Any clue for the ab6/33?
Sorry, was away administering snack to the offspring. Looking...
nm - got it
Okay.
But thanks for wanting to help! :)
May I offer any help before I leave?
None for me, thanks! =)
**poof**
sc 6? please
nm, doh
Hi all.
hi wht
sc 6 - the back of the neck
hi folks
ty jbv
just got back from my most unfavorite chore of the week - grocery shopping - bags are lined up in the kitchen while I catch my breath for the next phase
:-)
I do it in small increments now that it costs 5 cents a plastic bag if I don't bring my own bags
random question for folks who bring cotton tote bags to the supermarket - how do you dispose of garbage? are you buying plastic garbage bags???
oh nooo, grocery shopping is fun!
try it for another 40 years, NB :)
uh I compost, recycle and use large garbage bags i buy from the store
you are a sick child NB
I use paper bags from the supermarket for garbage, so I consider that my form of recycling
I also compost and reduce as much as possible
I feel like such an adult when I do it! And Jmc...lol!
you don't know the half of it ;)
lol
and I don't want to tyvm!
the family across the street are my role models - mother, father and three children, and they always have only the least garbage on our street on pick up day
I still have the first household item i ever bought for my self with my own money -- a red, turquoise and purple bath towel
Quite colorful jmc.
it was very cool when i bought though :-D
lol! when was this?
I put out about one bag even other week jbv
I bought it in 1970.
Having a quiet and relaxing day. It is our 29'th wedding anniversary.
I still can't believe I was living at home six months ago. Hell of a lot can change in six months!
awww, Wht, congratulations!
whoo hoo wht!
ty NB. And yes. A lot can change in 6 months.
I got my shots for Kenya wht
Great jmc. I hope your arms are not sore. I'm sorry I won't be able to make the trip.
i am sorry too. It is really expensive though.
it doesn't help that I am staying a full month and bringing my boy over to meet up with me
I think our big vacation trip this year will be going with Lynn and her brother to clean out her mother's house. Her mother died a month or so ago.
Kenya?! this sounds exciting!
I am sorry to hear that wht. It has been amazingly difficult since my mother died in November.
I still hope to get Lynn to go to Africa some time.
Yes, NB I am meeting Quakers from all around the world.
afternoon Babblers! again. 60 left.
Then my boy is coming and will to the tourist thing.
hi red!
The death of a parent is hard at any age.
it has really been hard on my sisters
Deepest Africa though, eh! that'll be amazing
hi again, Red :)
speaking of which--how is your dad NB?
Kenya is lovely, the one place I though I would not like, I loved.
Hi Red. You did get your wish for the Magic to get another home game and they made the most of it.
I think it will be amazing NB and I am really looking forward to it
hm, out of the hospital and seeming well, Jmc, thanks for asking :) now if only we could get him cured of the bigotry...
yes, and then they burnt up in Boston, of well...
I am glad they had the game, it was a money maker.
well one step at a time NB
sorry, I'm joking 'cause I'm scared. If he goes back to hospital anytime soon, I won't be allowed to visit again.
Tell me about Kenya Red
why not NB?
Kenya is an incredibally beautiful country. I wish I could get Lynn interested in going.
what do you want to know jmc?
you have been there wht?
wht, I can not believe there is someone who does not want to go to Kenya!
I am going to spend several days in mobasa on the coast and then western kenya. . . . what is the name of the town wht? kemasa?
well last time, it agitated him too much. I sat in with him whilst he was asleep, on the advice of the staff. I was just sitting there and holding his hand when my mum came in, started screaming at me, woke him up, got him going...it's not good for him, when he's in that condition
Well, JMC, you will Love Mombasa.
SO NB, that is your Moms issue, you did right.
A lot of the Quaker institutions are in Kaimosi but that is not where the General Board meeting will be.
well the trick is to get your mother not to scream it would seem
Kaimosi that is it! *smack*
Mombasa is very much a town of say partying and music and nightlife.
I don't remember where that will be. Since I'm not going, I haven't paid a lot of attention tot he details.
No but I am going on the quaker tour and then at the end of july spending a week at friedns theological college
the seacoast breezes will be nice.
Did they give you a Safari?
there's no trick to it really, they just don't want me there. and from the nurses' point of view, I guess it's too risky.
Bungoma, Kenya
well, in truth, NB, if I was the pt nurse and the pt said NO I dont want to see my son, I would not let the son in there.
I remember sleeping on the beach outside of Mombasa once. I was in a sleeping bag and was comfortable but the moment the sun rose, it was too hot.
too bad NB that they should blame you for your mother losing it
well exactly, Red. it's their job to look after the patient after all; not the visitors. just sad, that's all
it's sad that your dad can;t get over himself. yes.
my boy is meeting me for a safari then we are going to Tansania to visit friends
and not at all nice that he is sick.
well I suppose she was just a catalyst to the whole mess, Jmc. That trip to Kenya sounds amazing though...once in a lifetime
hang in there NB -- it took my dad quite a while to get over his only son being gay
Nice JMC, be sure to bring a camera on Safari. I know you arent really a camera guy..
or girl.
I am actually -- I have just conceded the position to my son who I gave his first camera when he was 3
I used to develop my own black and white photos
No wonder my Mom liked you.
any way the boy will be along for the safari
??? because I gave my son a camera? He kept grabbing mine so I gave him a point and shoot
Well, I am a big fan of kenya, I thought it would be over touristed, but it wasn't
i know it was all over when his camera cost more than mine ;p;
No no because of my Mom's interest in Photography....
jmc, You will get better pictures if your camera has an anti-shake control. Even with a 12-x zoom lens I was able to get clear pictures from our moving bus.
I will check with the boy about the anti-share control on his camera -- he has the lens
www.shadysideimages.us
his current digital cost me a grand so it better and anti shake!
as long as the lens has the vibration reduction you should be alright, plus the safari operators should stop for you.
a grand?! on a camera?! bliiimey.
is that your mom's sight?
It probably does. Mine was a $300 Cannon. I didn't think to much about that feature until I started taking pictures out of a moving bus on rutted roads.
he as sold some photos (so have i in an earlier life) so it is worth it for him NB
it's one of them.
sorry "site"!
NB, thats not so much really, I have one lens that cost about 500.00, from my Mom....she keeps pushing me to get a new camera...
its the right price for a great quality camera,
we got pretty good photos in India but since I used to take a lot of photos I am very patient about his taking photos
I do have a small little lumix though that was about 200.00 and I love to use it.
Oh JMC, I would like to go to India.
it's a lot for me Red ;) all my money goes towards, y'know, rent, and eating ;)
hello all, just finished the essays that are due this week. I *think* I am done, but will ask Mother to review before I turn them in.
I've been there Nancy, "creative budgeting"
Hi Stidmama!
hey Nancy Boy! are you behaving yourself moderately well? *checks behind ears and looks to see if NB is losing weight*
Hi, Stid!! am I up to standards this week? ;)
hmph. maybe. *offers a cookie*
I expected to love India and I hated it
hi stiddie
I think you need more sleep, young man. And I read back in the log to see what's up. ((((((hugs))))))
what made you hate it jmc?
NB when I was your age I could have even afforded that towel!
other than not liking India, how was your trip, jmc? *wicked mama look*
ohhh, it's same old same old, Stid :) I just never thought it would be this bad, you know? but I will gratefully take that hug ;)
it was so dirty all the time and the question wasn't whether you would be cheated each day but how often and by how much
as for sleep though, who has time for that? ;)
Oh, jmc, you may not like Kenya much then. its not the cleanest, and you do have to be abrupt with a variety of people.
well, I know it's hard. be certain that you are being a good person, and let the rest go. You are not responsible for others' feelings or actions. *stern but loving mama look*
but...you will be at a variety of places that will not involve crowds (the seminary etc) so it will be lovely.
and the coffee is absoloutely lovely, tops.
a good person eh? well I wouldn't go that far Stid ;) (((hugs))) thanks though. means a lot :)
LOL you rascal! *shakes fist*
evening all :-)
hey Denny!
no it is not like Guatemala and Mexico
down to 55. I think I will call my maternal proofreader and see if she can help me tighten up these essays. *choclits and candies for all*
see you-all tomorrow, and maybe this evening since I am now "mostly done." with the work for the quarter.
*poof*
by stid
bye stiddie
see you, Stid! :)
red I have traveled in lots of countries low budget travel and I never was any place as dirty and creepy as india
Can I have a clue for the lower right e for nbt?
the air was so dirty that if you stood on the US Capitol steps you couldn't have seen the Washington Monument
and the cheating wasn't just the tour guides and the local "sales" people. . .
sorry wht

ab 6/33 and ab7/48, the monkeys are tired!
ab plus like a 2 pair in poker.
hi babblers
I don't play poker or watch it on tv!
i found the ab poker
ty red
got the plural as well.
Hello everyone.
hi all
Hi Boobear! I have been lonely for 9 minutes!
morning Boo and all
Hi Lynxxx
how come
hello Scrabbs
No one was here.
Just me and the lurkers who all kept lurking.
The 3rd ba4/7 please, anyone?
hi, i might qualify as a lurker... haven't been looking at chat.. am on martha's vineyard celebrating david's graduation
Wonderful, Doren!!!
hi Dorens
Monkey found my ba4
just found out they need a guidance counselor here.... very tempting i must say
Wow! Wouldn't that be nice! But island life would be tough in the winter.
what a coincidence! could you move there?
a bit remote... and kind of far from my old friends and new york (daughter.. mother, etc)
It is not easy at all to get up & move when one's roots are set in one place.
if i knew for sure that i didn't hve my job (they keep saying maybe, we'll see if some $$ come im over the summer).. it would be interesting to try on a one year basis
clue for ab 4/6
true scrabs, but my sons and grandkids are in boston.. would sweeten the pot
a & a wager
ab + simile word
or a + wager is another ab4/6
I was thinking of that, the Boston connection
first cr7 please?
makes it inriguing, not sure if i could really do it though
Island life would be expensive and challenging--ferry rides in the winter = brrrrr
first ce7 ends with beginning of the kind of doc who tortured you recently scrabs
cr, not ce
Hm, I have many names + adjectives for him.
it would have been far more reasonable to buy a place her when I thought I 'd also have a place on Sanibel..
haha... but the generalist is a ****ist
I found it, Doren. You were thinking DDS/DMD and I was thinking of Dr Richard Head.
oh.... i have almost forgotten about him... was thinking about your recent mouth troubles.... all better now?
clue for ab 5
I will be my DDS on Tues AM for impression for permanent crown + have temporary crown placed. Pain is done! I had 8 or so horrendous days.
a + ****ball
a + ba4 (4 of them on a baseball diamond)
ty
last cr7 please?
I just encouraged + assisted a nurse practitioner friend to escape from Richard Head. I need to get 2 more to depart--I think they will try after seeing how he treated this last one.
That is what I am looking for too, Doren
change the last vwl on the one before
TY, Lynxxx
ty lynxx... had been trying to change the penultimate vowel insteadE
53 to go
Evening (or so) all! Just getting back to this after long day of doing absolutely nothing--lovely!
hi Jayk
indeed... it has been a lovely long day here too
I am out in my yard watching birds, 2 adorable red squirrels + chipmunks.
Hi Lyynxxx, Scrbbler, Dorens
hi there Jayk, dorens and scrabbs, I have been on and off all day, doing very little after running.
hi Lynnxx,
and the other lurkers.
Hi red. Aren't youin Claremont? I think of you every time I pass through
Hi Jay. I hiked for 3 hrs in a park with a literal maze of trails. We found a nice deep area in the creek for swimming + lunch.
hi Red
Hi Red
hi red. listening to the birds here on the pond... looking at water... it's always nice
I am watching "deadliest catch" I seem to be addicted to it...
Is that the show that follows fishermen.
Scrabs, I'm guessing it must not be pouring down rain where you are. I was interested earlier to see your refernece to Zone 4. When I lived in VT I was in Zone 4--always thought PA would be much more temperate
yes, they are having a marathon and I seem to not be able to stop watching.
Each time I want to switch it off something happens and I want to know what it is...
Scrabs in is NY.
Red--I meant Clermont
I hope your fish can't see the TV Red, they will be traumatised
Ah --NY, that's more understandable.
I live 30 or so miles southeast of Buffalo, NY, in "ski country"= higher elevation.
they are fisihing crab, and my fish like to eat crab!
Ah then! You ARE deep in Zone 4.
I am in Clermont, Jayk, we should meet for a coffee and a sandwich at the Panera there.
I will buy some more flowers tomorrow.
I seem to be stuck on the th 5
I am amazed how skillful film work and narration can make anything in tv seem cool...I mean Crab finshing.
I pass through Clermont on the way to visit my father. Next weekend, again. It's his 106th birthday.
its like a cith in Greece, I think.
I watched once when a guy almost got killed by the equipment because of human error
Wow Jayk. 106! thats a long like.
WOW, Jay!
You're right, Red!
th5 th & anagram of honey insect
errr thanks lynnx for a better clue.
So, born in 1904. My grandparents were born in 1894 + 1897.
how about the stupid ne/4?
Yeah, Scrabs, but are they still alive?
Gross profit somes before ne** profit
ne + double consonant
Nope, gone in 1981 and 1983. Those are my mother's parents that came here from Italy.
I checked your profile, Jay. I forgot that you are my INTJ comrade.
I'm not that close to my Dad, but I have to admit he's amazing. He's been very lucky--mentally still very sharp. Congenital heart failure will eventually get him, but he's remarkable. Stillbaking bread from scratch--including the tiresome kneading part--he doesn't believe in food processors, and shoppping, and thinking of interesting meals and firing off irate letters to the SEC. (He was a broker)
Do you know how FEW female INTJs there are?
Lucky for him. It's only worth being "old" if one is able to enjoy it.
I can not remember which I was, but, it was the one that many juvenille delinquents come with....
I agree. As I say, he's been very fortunate
its good ot keep your ind.
No, Jay. But I know that there is a small % of INTJs.
shoot, mind.
LOL, Red
The downside to living this long is that all your friends are dead
Yes, I recall my grandparents saying that then they were in their 80s. But at 106 you outlive LOTS of people.
Oddly, also having trouble with the be 4/8
be + **ct tape is useful
Fortunately, my Dad's made friends with lots of younger people--but it can't be the same
I am struggling with de6 + 7
sleeping place + not me
Thx! What does that mean?
Hi Ruru! I thought of you when I met a hiker with a Golden Retriever on the trail + creek today. That dog was Louie.
I can help you with those. To really flatten someone.
Louie loved the water--jumped in the deep areas.
TY, Jay
es 7/27?
es & s*** missile & vwl
Also fa 6/23?
louie?
I don't have it yet. I still need de4/7 before I move on to the Es
hello all
that's a funny name for a golden
The Golden I saw today, Rur.
am I blind, cannot see the ne4
fa6 like a water tap but change t to s
ne + double consonant
de 4/7 - what you owe
hi scrabs
ty Scrabs, was not even looking in that direction
Yeah, the dog deserved a nicer name--beautiful orange-red. At first I thought it was a Red Setter.
Thx Lynxxx
TY + hi JBV.
Periwinkle! I bought + planted Periwinkle yesterday.
:-)
Lynxxx--not etting that es clue
Little hummingbird female is here now! She is here every 5 minutes or so.
got the sc5.16 Jayk?
BRB, must grab some dinner.
No
louie is a great name.
sc4.7 a sc** missile or sc & m** is wet dirt
So lynxxx--what's the sc 5/16?
sc5.16 adds a vowel to end of sc4.7
s + cow *** + vowell
es6 uses that 5
not working for you Jayk?
I'm just not seeing those.
did you get the 4?
Yes, got the four
maybe don't look for them, just do them
the 5 just adds a vowel - you have a choice of 5 only
I'm back. 29 to go.
Had to list to find the 2 sheep noises and Be** Bridges! Bye all
Bye Lynxxx
So you finished, Lynxxx?
2 left.
All done. TY for clues. See you tomorrow.
congratulations Scrabbs. I still have 40 left. too distracted by the crab hunting.
yay cousin!!!!
hey all
*taps on screen* what? did everyone see me coming and take off? LOL
i think it was me scrabbs. I am a chat killer.
oh well. how are you red?
well, I am still fine, since 3 hours ago, being distracted by television.
there. down to 50. listing now...
distracted? TV?
hm. sounds nice.
yes, I am watchign the deadliest catch, marvelling at how this can suddenly become entertainment.
oh, I can't watch that show. Too scary.
HI stid and red. How goes it with you guys?
we are watching Star Wars (original version)
hey bugs!
hi bugs.
it is a little scary... but I am hooked.
I am very close to being done with all the required work for the quarter.
Mother proofread my essays that are due Tuesday, and I just got back from her house. So taking a break.
WHoo Hooo Stiddy!
I used to love King Crab red until I saw how dangerous it is to get. Now I don't eat it so they won't have to go out. My son says he did the same thing! I laffed my head off
You are lucky to have such family support stid. What you are doing takes a huge amount of effort
yes it does, bugs. I couldn't even attempt this without my family.
I am amazed thought at the profits these guys make, like 50K in ten days.
I just hope that I am doing well enough. I don't feel a tremendous amount of faculty support at this point. :-( But unless I do something completely egregious, I don't think they can kick me out of the program *keeping nose clean while watching my back*
Sid, I am sure you are doing well enough.
Have you advocated anything unusual?
what yould the faculty have against you stid? You are getting great marks, are consciencious about assignments and love to teach. Please explain where your unease comes from
I have made waves when the instructors have their he5 up their british backsides...
Oh no!
in an email if you don't want to share here.
and I am not shy about saying when I am confused, but I do tend to wait until I am certain something is wrong before I speak up.
so all of that is the marks of a good good student. My Dad would have loved to have you as a pupil.
The truth is, I am not radical enough for the instructors at this institution, and do not blindly sign on to their own teaching styles.
thanks red.
I tend to agree with red. Perhaps you are just listening too much to your inner critic. Toss him out.
So... we'll see what happens.
thanks bugs. *giving evil stidmama the heave-ho*
Oh Stid, you are at Evergreen?
It is a radical place.
LOL red!
my "alma mater"
so if it's over the top for me... *shrug*
I have been in those situations. When I was trying to get into Nursing school, I spent a lot of time painting my fingernails and such to try to fit in.
You don't have sign on with their styles stid. Just play the game and learn everything. You never know when you will come accross a student who learns a different way and needs something bizarre to get it.
yep. I am doing that to a greater or lesser extent. I can play the games, just resent having to do it.
we all do. We care about you tho
It's not that any particular thing is so bizarre, it's that they are very prescriptive for their approach and dismissive of other approaches that I know are sometimes efficacious.
thanks bugs ((hugs))
and you will never forget the other methods that you know work. I had to do the same thing until teachers saw me using ancient methods of learning that worked on what they thot were troublesome students
*nods he4 in recognition at bugs' words*
You can do it Stiddy, you can!
heloo
*determined mama look*
Remember too, they are trying to keep their jobs at the college so they have to sound like they are teaching something new and innovative to keep their jobs .
help with sa5/16 pls
su 5?
Not much longer to go. You will get thru. You are doing this for the kids, not the faculty
that may be true, bugs, thanks.
remember Stid, you are paying the faculty, they always seem to forget that.
hey jayk. hey peri!
sorry peri and Jayk, but hi
Hi Stid and Peri. SO stuck!!
I will know next week if I am continuing in the program. Nervous because I don't yet have a student teaching assignment but most of my classmates do.
oh, just got the sa 5, 16. past tense of the one in front
oh! Jayk! french word for sugar!
ty Bugs
ty stid for the word
WHY do they let you have that and not innumerable other french words?!
down to 2 sc 5 words
*shrug* no idea, Jayk!
fireworks
go Jayk go!
YAY peri
TRYINE Stid!!
and go Jayk go
ty now off to play scramble
YAY peri! see you next time!
So Peri--help with those pesky scs?
there is an SC 5/16 6 that is like ES 6 without the E...
YAY! Thanks Stid!!
firewords
there is an SC 5/26 that means to rough up something, like the toe of a polished shoe
and there is an SC that ends like an S4 meaning the waves that hit the shore
YAY stid. Still have 46 so I will shut up now and plod on. Good luck with finding a placement. Things work the way they work for a reason.
apparently that last SC 5 means "1.the scales or small shreds of epidermis that are continually exfoliated from the skin. 2.any scaly matter or incrustation on a surface. "
thanks Bugs. I am practicing being patient. With myself and with the process.
can clue for a while if anyone wants...
are you done Jayk?
I still have too many to find to ask for clues yet, but thanks.
okie dokie.
My eldest son was in a chef class in High school and he stalled around about getting a job. He decided he was not the best in the class so he didn't worry.
how about the top e, stid?
how about the top e, stid?
top E... *thinking* hey LA!
ah. EF 6 and past tense
hello!
Turns out he was the only one left in the class able to take the best one offered to all the students that year. He learned so much and got huge tips.
a person who is EF-6ive is over the top positive,
ah thanks
LOL good for your son! and a good lesson to me to stop comparing myself or worrying about being the "best"
the death star is about to explode into smithereens...
That is what the story was meant to convey. You are as good a student as teacher ;)
:-D (more bugs hugs)
Advice please? I have a caterpillar in my screened in porch and its eating my polkadot plant. SHould I try to put it outdoors or let it try to do its thing?
put it outside, or flush it, red... don't let it destroy your plant

Ok, I shall out it outside. I would love to see it become a chrysallis...
hello all- too many glasses of wine for me - happy memorial day weekend- I will help if I can

Hi Mom needs again!
but still, it should be fine outside.
Hi ya Stid
Hi ya red
caterpillars are sneaky, red. *two dozen pair of sneaky feet tramp into screened porch and take up residence*
You guys are too deep on a catepillar
Indeed it should be fine outdoors and it is indeed, "a very hungry caterpillar"
red - get rid of it - it will eat all your plants - everything you have - .....
okay, I am going to go make the suggested revisions and print up what I need for the final week. see you-all again tomorrow!

Hello autumn moon!How are you? Welcome to the grid
crossy, have you read King Solomon's Mines and She? By H. Rider Haggard (sp?)
Hi min and everyone else!
Greetings, fuzzy
Hi Jellen
I've been in and out today, between the Indy 500 and the Coca Cola 600 it's been a full day of watching race cars. But I managed to get down to 7 left.
Thanks much Min, Pini, Fuzzy and Jellen.
1 ..
help with the ae 5/12, i give up
i have not jilli

They're old adventure classics, set in Africa, crossy -- may be on that website.
ty lini
An ae 5/12 word is ae + *** Moines, Iowa fuzzybunny.
ill be sure to look them up jilli
Probably very politically incorrect -- I must re-read them.
thx Pini 6 to go Jilli - love your icon pic
ty pini, I never would have gotten that
yw crossy ;)
gutenberg.org is a treasure trove of amazing books;)))
Hi autumn, and Pooh thanks you;)
lol most of what i listed is politically incorrect but they are a window to the time in which they were written
and as such should forever be available
Quite so, crossy!
I love pooh :)
I love the REAL, original Pooh.
I almost did Winnie the Pooh too, but also like Pandas
i can sing all the song to the manya adventures of winnie the pooh(was my sons fav show from age 2-6
Just came back from cocktails with my husband, have 19 left. Had fun, but my fingers are tripping over themselves!
I do too, jilli!
yes, classic pooh. My rotti has a fleece blankie with pooh on it
Disney Winnie the Pooh is SO not original Winnie the Pooh.
Pandas are lovely too, Min :), but Pooh brought me and my hubby together!
Oh, sounds like a story!
manya adventures of Pooh? That sounds like Disney.
my nickname was poohbear for many years.
i am up down touch the ground puts me in the mood..up down touch the ground,in the mood,for food...i am short,round and i have found,speaking poundage wise...i improve my appetite when i excercise lol
Phantom words for me today were refuse and rescue
Now it's my hubby's turn to do Farmville on computer
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
g'night, Min
I have b?"een wondering, what are "phantom words and phantom clues
night min
i can still hear my sons giggling at two years of age in my mind:)
gn min
brb
Jellen, I had been living in NYC in the 1940s and nobody there had heard of Pooh or the A.A. Milne verses I almost knew by heart from my Brit background. It was a delight to find a guy who could also quote masses of those books verbatim :)
sigh..now he is a 16 year old demon spawn from the seventh circle of hell:(
fuzzy -- phantoms are words almost in the grid but not quite.
re5-12 the 2nd please......thanks.....it's the last one for this grid.
Aww...that's great!
ones you type in 20 times even though you know better
re + turf
I just cleaned out my 14 year old sons bookcase and he never thought twice about the idea of getting rid of his winnie the pooh books. I saved them though, because I couldn't.
aah, so phantom words don't acutally exist, we just think they do/should?
Thanks so much, Jellen. See y'all at the flip. Thanks to all who helped.
i still have the mmany adventures of winnie the pooh on video tape i cannot toss them either lol
Yay, peach!!!
It's not just the Pooh books -- also When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six verses I love.
my sons early reading was charlie and the chocolate factory;))
Crossy, those videos must be Disney -- ???
yes the video is 1977 disney version with sterling holloway as pooh
Yes, fuzzy -- they're very frustrating!
I have encountered them before, just never knew what they were called!
Sorry, crossy, but I can't stand disney's Pooh.
de 6/27 pls
somewhere in this houseare the individual pooh stories in a small chaper book format
hi jilli. I had to go find my Pooh movie because it ISN'T a disney one!
those small ones that had their own case
de + Who's on first ****?
But I haven't seen the Sterling Holloway version. It's the cutesified drawings that I deplore.
ty jellen
good evening, what does the 8 begin with?
I feel Pooh can only be read, with the original illustrations and one's imagination.
ty Jellen
and he loves jules verne,he is reading that now i believe
I have a video of the 1974 Winnie the Pooh as told by Willie Rushton (originally put out by the BBC
very nice nef:)
he is almost ready for me to lay lord of the flies on him:)
lol,sorry im a book nut..seems most that babble are also,so i prattle on with my obsession here:)
good evening, what does the 8 begin with?
cr8
crossy, you can prattle on about any book you like; I was just thinking about how my kids reacted to "Lord of the Flys"
crossy, I just checked gutenberg and King Solomon's Mines is available.
Batman is one of the caped cr******s
great site eh?:)))
But She isn't.
Hi OSGMA

My shoulder is acting up. I think it is bruised

I should be. I did hit the floor hard.
what do ya need, fuz?
cr 7/40 the last one, I looked a the clues just given and still didn't get it.
the first 6 letters of the cr7 before it + different end vowel
(might sound "spanish")
hubby is already in bed!
It did take a good couple of days to realise the bruise on my other forearm was due to me putting my arm up to stop my face being one with a pole
cr 7/40, fhe first, but with a different vowel ending
both cr7/40's are the same just change the last letter
oh my herin....hope all your injuries are minor and/or heal quickly!!!
my Dh was home on a 4 hour pass today and fell in the bathroom. Once I got him back to the transitional care unit, he admitted to hitting his head. He has a big lump on the back of his head and they have to do neuro checks on him all night.
love those spanish words, ty jellen
oh, Nef...hope everything's going to be OK!
Oh, so sorry, Nef!
Nef, my thoughts go out to you
ba 5/16?
Nef again. Yesh. Loves hun
Its a bruise I have added padding it is all good
the first ba5/16 = sheep's sound + talking horse, Mr. **
ba 5/16, second, is a past tense
ty pini
Aside from the worrying about DH; I also feel sorry for the fact that this makes more work for the nurses again (he fell 3 nights ago in the TCU and they had to document that too)
and Jellen
sa 5/16 pls
pt sa4
sa + sleeping furniture
Nef, what is the TCU?
Nef makes a suggestion he needs his own little hard hat
ty jellen
fa 6/30?
fa 6/30 is a plural
bathroom water dispensers, minus the cross letter
fa6 = like the water tap with a snake letter ending
Hi, grem
fuzzy, TCU means transitional Care Unit. It's a rehab unit so DH is getting "intensive aggressive rehab therapy" (meaning PT, OT speech therapy, etc
Hi Jellen
ty, pini, jellen and gremlin.
hi fuzzy
herin, I'd like to suggest 4 point restraints so he won't fall! A hard hat might go over well too, though! :-)
Nef, my dad was getting the same kind of care after heart bypass surgery, all went well and he is home and doing great, I'm sure your husband will do the same.
hi all. 54 left. ugh.

MS is rough and unpredictable, isn''t it?
NEF: http://www.bellehelmets.com/
Hi, mkg
brb...
Thinks that JC is a complete arsehole and deserved all he gets THanks for turning a good person against me. Think I may also now seriously think about disconnection from here since I am such an embarrassment
there are several different forms of MS, Jellen. DH has been diagnosed with it for 25 years; he's done quite well with it til now.
Nef, I have a student whose mother has MS. My prayers are with you that your husband does well and gets back to normal soon.
