Hi all. cant sleep
Hi flosey -- not doing well at what? Bridge? Or health?
47/92 and fading...night all ;)

cramming too many luncheons into this week
going to go read some maybe then I will just drift off..night all and thanks again for the prayers for my mom
good to know... get some rest!!
When do you get back here, flosey?
not back jilli, still in Scarborough
bye pini
oh dear, barb -- is your mother ill again?
she was rushed into hospital at 4 pm our time for bleeding....
Yes, flosey, but when do you get back here?
Oh, so sorry, barb!
be home a week Tuesday Jill
they are keeping her overnight and hope to arrange a scope tomorrow for her
so sorry barb
Thanks, flosey -- we've missed you!
Barb, sorry about your mother, hope this will clear soon
This has been a day for bad news -- nephew just had surgery for rectal cancer :(
Saying amen to all the kind words toward Barb's mom
I am so afraid of this one...not sure about sleep but I must try for my sake and hers too..I just so want to cry and can't show my son the weakness or he wont go to school tomorrow
thanks jill, have missed all my babble friends
hope all goes well with your nephew Jilli

You can do it, barb.

I know that I will but there are times when you just want to crumble
thanks, barb.
en 6 x 2
lots of strange words this time
what a day..night all ((((hugs)))))
as usual, grem
night barb!
help please with n in the last column
not even half way and thinking of listing -- not that that would help me find the rh
nonny, as in "Hey nonny nonny" is not considered a word...mutter, grumble, mumble, grutter
zero dee
I agree, doug
almost has to be a non- word that uses the far left n too
didn't come from that n, ru :~(
that is what I am thinking dart...
then not nephew
I'll just say now that I've learned more words on this grid than any previous one
every other letter can be reached by the other two n's
oopx
i before e, ruru, lol!
it is not ne 4; ni 4 or no 4....
yipppe it is no 5/14
ty dee *looking*
ty volley...saw it when you said it
lol...
how about the a in the 2nd column?
fireworks
wtg grem!
Pond growth
WOW grem!!!
How'd you do that, Grem!!!
ty torg
6 new ones to me
I'm playing a fun little game of trying to get exactly one word from each tile, before I get more than one word from any tile...minimal nbt
R might be a toughie
I'm guessing it's RH..
yeah
found the r... can't find the a in the 2nd column
bottom-left R, that is
oops found it... al4... nbt
I've noticed that, grem, but it doesn't seem to be the usual rh suspect
it's probably the most commonly occurring rh word over 6 letters, though
wtg dee
a in 2nd col. ac+ *stimated ***********ime of *rrival
ty
no way, grem! Rhapsody is waaaaaay more common
Oh, that's in the first col lol
Oh, that's in the first col
I mean commonly found in puzzles
did I miss the calling of the 8's?
ca8, ca8, un8
both ca8s I'd never seen before
many thanks grem
probably, dee -- I was a bit late arriving and just saw a lot of calling going on
Thanks dee for the al4
Argh, my keyboard has a glitch where suddenly it will think you're holding down a key and will make huge words like thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhis >.<

PB for dee

sh** the non-believer Charlie, sh****
found the ca 8's...ty morewords!
**** of the above won 14% in the Nevada Democratic Governor primary tonight
yes, dee, and it got me the rh, which isn't a common word at all.
wtg jili... searching for the un8...
nbt
boy, the un8 is not easily spotted, I must say
wtg jili!
Yay jilli! 2 more tiles for minimal nbt
I say the ****** after the un doesn't deserve to have an un attached to it
what direction does it go after un...
time for list...have to be at airport in 8 hours...shouldn't be staying up all night lol
probably a wise choice dart..
uno
definitely a wise choice, dart!
least i'm packed by now...not always true this late
awww ty grem!!
there's a phantom un8+ly, as well
thanks, grem. I had the latter part, but never thought that the un+ could be a word!
nm, doesn't work
where are you going, dart?
would never have even looked that way I don't think
'im headed to canada...but closer to dublin than where you are jilli!
the un8 definitely travels around the board a lot
ty vm... have all the 8's finally
assuming you are at home
off to Newf again, dart?
yep...st john's lol
wow sounds fun dart
Have a good time!
I have a new addiction.... hidden object games at bigfishgames.com and spintop
I've played a hidden object game
10 days music hiking friends...maybe babble once in a while lol
I don't need any more addictions!
lol jili... grem, I am finding I like the hidden object games, coupled with "spot the difference" mini games, along with having to solve an overall "whodunnit"... extremely interesting if graphics are good
volley..is that where they give a list of the objects...but all are hidden in other things?
yes
can play each one 60 minutes for free at bigfish... then if good, can purchase for 6.99
my wife played a lot of those where it was timed and she had to find them all
are they timed games, dee?
quite entertaining... yes, jili 60 minutes...then they have other games besides hidden object... pretty interesting site
No timed games for me, thanks.
Babble is a timed game
well, lots of time, lol!
I love the ones with great tropical island scenery... beautiful ...
well, I'll have a look at the site some time...
it's been a nice diversion when babble has small, easy grids
grrr... gonna have to list here.. getting nowhere...
Feh. I clearly picked the wrong day to come back to babble, then, didn't I Dee :-)
i have a diff. diversion...lol work
those are the days I use to catch up with sins of omission, dee!
lol dart; hi freep
or sleep b4 work that i usually miss when i'm here
perhaps, freep... finding this one tough, but we do have lickety
well, I"m afraid this one will remain unfinished, unless tomorrow has 25 hours.
I vote for 25 hours for you freep
105 down and crashing -- good night
ya... it's good night for me, too
Ok, I hereby confess my difficulty in seeing the southwest r. Any suggestions?
want a clue for it, or stats, or something else?
rh + @ sign + _ _ _one
Stats would be nice, thanks grem
rh7/40, but there's Dee's clue already
Well, that's a new word for me!
sorry for the lag...
Thanks Dee

Sweet, now I just need a word for the N & O in the column on the right for NBT
fireworks
The next time I'm in South America and I need an astringent, or to color some port wine, I'll know just what to do!

Way to go dart!

oh slightly lol
boy, I get a nice surprise when I find a normal word here.
so true
also helps if you keep your fingers are the correct keys... just typed two gibberish words... actually looked as good as many in the grid LOL
Then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, so clinical, so intellectual, *******
I bet, dee, LOLOL!
thanks Douglas
Guessing that was a clue lol. Either way it found me a word
didn't find me one :(
hello again
Shahid, he don't like it...Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah
I hope somebody looks at my icon
why do you think i just changed mine jill?lol
Yes, samnz, that was a clue
For a word which rhymes with clinical?
I am done for the night...the 2 ca 8's are driving me buggy
Indeed yes...a line from "The Logical Song" by Supertramp
Oh. "Into the Wild"s Supertramp? Or an author named Supertramp?

ceta
I didn't think so, ruby
oops, I'm still sleepy, sorry
is the z there just as a tease?
's ok, already had it
ruby what time is ti where you are?
ruby no Z words
8:42, on second cup of coffee -- bad night
ruby its 2:45am here
ruby, you can tell there are no Z words by looking at the tile stats, lol
i just finished some coffee
jill have you found any big words yet?
I thought maybe there'd be internal ones like those lovely q words yesterday
I have the 8s but went to morewords for them
nope
i dont have any 7s or 8s
well, for the ca8s. The un8 is findable but unorthodox.
unorthodox as in not a real word?
as in a word not usually preceded by un ;)
thanks jill on that note i didnt find the word and i have 101 words left i am out poof
that was fast, mlf! Bye!
first 25 were easy, but now what? and the un8? ruse lol
ruse? what did I mean by that?
the un8 is plain ;)

G'night doug -- it is a stinker!
Hi helens

hey babblers, what's the 3rd letter of the un8 pls?
I think I'm alone but will say goodnight anyway to the lurkers, with 21 left for the morrow. Byeee!
Oh, there's gort -- it's O :)
ohhh thanks jili
got it just like that; should start with an in tho, shouldn't it
then hang a left and climb :)
I don't think there should be a un or an in there! I'd just say "plain"!
good point jili
well, happy babbling, and I must head for bed -- bfn and *poof*
all right, now how bout that ca8...what's its 3rd letter?
all righty then, nighty night

Hello

hi herin
hi herin
there's no crying in babble either
hi Infernal
there is usually somebody crying
HI. It is soooooo ccold
that's why we're here, to help
Well, I am going back to bed for an hour. Warm up herin! and please no crying.
it is a movie quote
how cold?
cold
I am not crying. I am just cold
About 8c
ooohh - it is cold - only 10 outside
we have thermometers all over, has helped me "get" centigrade!
as a rough conversion, I figure 5C = 10F, at least above freezing. Close enough for jazz and sweaters....
Good morning/evening all. This is a grid and a half, isn't it?
you do jazz dancing in sweaters when it is cold?
Lynxx it is about 8 when that horrid wind howls
hello haz, yes, hard grid
hi Haz!
Hi Haz
good way to stay warm but more of a rock and roller!
You saying that I shouldn't touch this grid?
Hello!
I'm saying that if you start, be prepared to encounter some new words and to have to dredge some old ones from the recesses of your brain.
wow. I had to do a test today that was worth 40 Marks. It was worth 80 but will be divided in half. I don't think I has the brain.
I read a wonderful thing today Haz. There are some already in Sydney, but in one of our major department stores in Melbourne, they are opening a non appointment breast screening facility free to all (ages too). Situated nicely in the sleepwear and lingerie deparment. Isn't that a wonderful idea!
no
That is at DJs is it not?
no to me kje?
It will have to be funded by someone - does it say who is behind it?
yes
Government health
it isn't a great idea... convenient yes... but not a good idea.
Why is that kje?
it assumes that screening is necessarily a good thing, and it is true... many should not be screened, and that is a conversation that should be discussed with a clinician, to understand the pros and cons before doing so
I don't see any difference to being appointment free in a department store to be appointment only in some office in a suburb somewhere
well, i guess if you still need a referral?
Ah, I see. We do not have that as normal procedure here anyway kje
No referrals are required at all
i meant it is NOT true... oops...
then no, I don't think self-referral to radiologic procedures, all of which carry risk, is a good thing
The instore service is staffed by qualified people and I guess you do pay a bit more attention to your boobs when you try on a bra
Kje: http://tinyurl.com/22pgt7j about the clinic
Currently the mammagrams are sent away to be read by appropriate technicians and results are mailed to you. You would be phoned if you need to follow up with any abnormalities
What about digital mammography, kje?
the point is the same.... the pros and cons are debatable, as is coming out more and more... the harms are more than just x-rays alone
You don't have age related regular breast screening in the States kje? WE do them every 2 years between 50 and 70. Same in the UK
To be honest, this is where lots of people throw up their hands, declare that doctors keep changing their mind about what is good, what is bad for you, and just carry on. Mixed messages are a real problem.
and there you go... here, use to be to start at 30... data has now come out that it causes more harm than good do to unneeded procedures... latest rec is to wait until 50 - causing an uproar from the public b/c they do not understand screening
I think it is great idea for women like me that avoid doctors like the plague (ducks)
and even within those age groups.. there are women that do not need it, it will not benefit them, depending on their other comorbidities and prognosis
KJE isn't more information out there a good thing? even if the women don't do it there but see their doctor
screening without judgement is not a good thing
Sorry I don't understand what you mean ''without judgement''
i think this grid is hard because nothing connects... all individual words it seems
without considering the risks and benefits... everything in medicine comes with risks... EVERYTHING... but the public does not generally truly understand that (and many docs don't act that way either) - so every decision needs to make sure that the benefit outweighs the risk, and more and more we are finding with screening that is not the case
But isn't it up to the individual to make up their mind as to what is right or wrong with their body? For instance my friend knows that vaccine benifits out way risks but she doesn't agree with vaccines in one hit so she is getting it done in stages for her kid.
that is not the same at all, herin - she is still working in conjunction with a doc to get the vaccines... to make it more like the mammogram, lets say that the individual decides whether they want a vaccine or not, without any input from a clinician, and whether they have risk of disease or not
Sorry I am not trying to be difficult.
But these are doctors that work in the Rose Clinic
that means nothing to me herin - LOL
Even if she decides that they are not for her it is there as a warning light to go speak to their GP. They send letters out every year or two years (depending on your situation) for Breast Screening and Smears. KJE I did a link for the clinic
Now there is research that links depression and anxiety to breast cancer -- another factor to consider
Hi Babble.
If my chance of getting breast cancer is now 1 in 27 (coincidentally very much like my melanoma reoccurring) then I am very comfortable having regular testing/checking done even without original consultation with my GP
back to the original point... no, i do not think access to screening for anyone without clinican discussionof risks and benefits and referral is a good idea...
Hi BabRab
Hello
A more fascinating development is the emerging evidence that depression may be a predictor for breast cancer risk. A report released from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in 2000 presented a compelling look at a possible mind-body link in what has been considered a purely physical illness.
KJE did you see my link?
Babble. Shamans say dis ease leads to disease
didn't follow it, herin
man this grid is tough
Ok Did you see the link I posted?
Interesting. The women I have known well that have had breast cancer in no way were depressed. It is such a common disease I reckon it could be linked to just about anything
id did not go see it herin
I have just realised I am only half way too. Tough
http://tinyurl.com/22pgt7j Here this may answer your questions
me too lynxx, only 74 in...
but ten again, I am half asleep as it is way to early here.. so I have an excuse - LOL
then
Do you have regular hours kje?
There are many words I do not recall seeing before
at work?
mostly... with some exceptions
Yes
depends on whether i am on the wards or not
I think a fuzzy mind may be at my benifit
during my research months, i am pretty much, theoretically, 8-5, M-F... clinical ward months are erratic
phantom: halcyon
me too lynxx... and pencil
What are you researching, if I may ask?
improving acute care for older adults
health services research
We are all going to be grateful for your work! Thankyou!
nah - i am small beans...
OK... 75 in and i am going back to bed...
baby steps first....
KJE that is important. Go sleep
see you later kje
Be well, kje
How are you BabRab? have you found any help
Pretty stable right now .... trying some things
Good esp. as long as you are still trying
hugs all round
wow - took me a long time to find the laughing animal
good morning babblers
is it just me or is babble expert running slow this morning
Good morning, Nono.
HI Nono
hi Nono, welcome to a toughie
hellooo!
I have to copy something I just wrote on FB for you lot who aren't on there :)
Hello, Ata!
hi Ata!
"oh dear. LMAO. just been talking to husband's sister. Apparently he told her that we'd both been injured in the Scillies, my injury worse, yes, but only a bit. Hmmm. You all know what happened to me ... he had - wait for it - a hangnail on his thumb. *FACEPALM*"
ATA you are such a sooky la. How can you complain about full leg cast on a holiday it was not that bad (headdesk)
That is hysterical!!
I've heard that having a hangnail on your thumb is worse than childbirth.
lmao I just think it's utter hilarious. I mean, you have to laugh or cry, don't you?
at least, Haz
especially for men LOL
You have to laugh, it's too funny not to.
I thought would cheer you all up with its stupidity!!
sigh
*Comes out of lurk mode because you will all hear me chuckling anyway.* Ata - that's priceless.
Hello, Jacula!
hi Jac!
*giggle* isn't it just!!! hi Jac!!
hi Jacula
I am having a crisis of I just can't study
have a break for a few hours and forget about it
Hello everyone.:-)
Um I have 2 pieces due tomorrow and 1 test to study for
Have you got your washing done, Jac?
HI Jac
still ... if you're not being productive, it's best to take 1/2 hour off and clear your mind. you get more done in the long run
Haz - Holiday stuff, yes. Halfway through the ironing now.
Dead in the water is something I am thinking off
Excellent, Jac.
you can do it!
can but yer na
Aussie slang?
Translation, please?
You seen Little Brittan?
Yes but no
I've steadfastly avoided it.
you wouldn't appreciate it, haz!
But I've seen trailers, so I know what you're getting at, I think.
me too, the couple of minutes I saw of it made me shudder
Haz - I think she's doing a Vickie Pollard. I don't watch it either, but know that character.
yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah
No, it's not my thing at all.
I have seen the adverts and some of the other stuff because off errm
Anthony Stewart Head
lol, oh yes, him
I was going to say Giles
is he in Little Brit?
yes
yep, he plays the Prime Minister
He gets around
he is a brilliant Actor
ok, physio time, joy of joys! back later :)
bye Ata
'Bye Ata.
Bye, Ata. Keep smiling through, just like you always doooooooooooo. (sung in best Vera Lynn voice)
bye Ata
bye Ata
Just keep thinking of how heroic D was in dealing with his hangnail. That will encourage you...
LMAO when I return I will tell you more funny things about the great injury!!
*Splutters* Lol Haz.
See you, Ata.
44 to go and time I was elsewhere. BBL.
bye Jac
bye bye Jac
Bye Jac
Bye Jacula, see you again.
so tireed
This is hard work, taking a break with 50 left - ugh
later lynxxx
How are you Nono?
lac
i'm doing ok Herin, thanks
opps
We think our white cat is going deaf
Lots of white animals are deaf.
oh dear herin, that would be awful for her
There's a random generalisation for you.
We found this out last night screaming her name for an age and shaking the cat food bowl.
She doesn't respond to clicking fingers and claps and her ears don't even twitch half the time
We expected it with her being white. Nono not really she is an inside cat
maybe she was just ignoring you
I can call and call my Missy and she wont even answer me when she is only a few feet away
Even if they ignore you their ears usually twitch
not always
have her vet check it out though
We will it is not bothering here. She isn't in pain or twitching her head like dogs do when they et ear things
if she is going deaf, it shouldn't affect her too much if she is strictly an indoor cat
Apparently she doesn't mind and b.f has said the same thing
it will just drive you crazy wondering where she is at once in awhile :)
Okay, time I was doing other things. NOT a stroll in the park grid, no matter what BabbleRabble might try to say. Bye for now!
*gone*
bye Haz
Bye Haz
Nono Drove me insane last night when she got lost in the house
I know Herin, Missy always goes to bed when I do........ the other night I went in the bedroom and called her to come to bed, when she didnt come I called and called and got no response.
It does give you a scar
scare even
Looked all thru the house while calling her name and nothing. Finally found her under the bed. She looked at me and meowed as if she were laughing at me
awww
good afternoon all :)
hi Sprite!
hi Nanette and lady! Good grid today?
its a tough one Sprite!
good, just what I am in the mood for. *sharpens teeth*
anyone have the sa6/24? or the un8/45? can't see either one. ty.
sorry, nurse I dont have either of them
not yet, but will start looking
SPRITEEEE.
{{{{{{{lady}}}}}}}
Trynig hard to hang on What about you?
That is a cute Icon
un + o 6
thanks lady :) Yeah, am good, really on the right track at last. You gooooo girl, hold on and keep taking care of you.
Thanks Diz
ty dizgrannie. new one for me.
yw
not adorned, I think.
oh thanks dizgrannie, sorry
sa6 = in a healthy way
mentally healthy way, I mean
ty dizgrannie, now im working on your sa6 clue sprite, thanks
hello everybody
hi rubyfoo
hi Ruby!
if the cat doesn't seem to be bothered, I wouldn't bother her with a vet. She'll be safe in the house.
ty sprite.
Sounds like a chow -- when you call them, their ears twitch and they look away like "You want me to do what?"
and when they hide, they certainly laugh at you when you find them
yvw Nanette and nurse
hi no no and hello sprite
hello nurse
found the sa6 thanks again
hehehe Terra isn't like that at all. If we call him he comes jumping and bouncing, like: "we gonna do something FUN now!?"
I don't think Terra is part chow!
Ruby when we get her claws done then yes we will
that makes sense. Does she have blue eyes?
oh now, cavalier through and through.
I think that blue-eyed Persians are all deaf!
wtg Nanette
golden-eyed adolescent boys too
still looking for the sa6! only have 55 words from earlier
golden-eyed.....
one could say: I am insa6 happy today
No. She has green eyes. We are mildly concerned as she doesn't twitch her ears if we click behind her and she is paying attention
ty sprite, good clue
if you worry, a vet is a good idea.
yw rubyfoo
sounds like my husband lol
lol also green eyes?
no, but doesn't respond when I click
It isn't bothering her so yes vet when we go to get her nails done
I just found out adolescents go through a why phase, just like the little ones. "Why do I have to do that? Why can't I do that? Why do I have to go to school? Why do I have to eat with you?"
take me with, please, I need my nails done, too!
Because you are not an animal would be my response. COvers a range of problems

sorry, sprite, not me
in decorate
un decorate
lol no, the other ones please, lady
3 words left, 1xG, 2xC. One 6 and 2x 8. And baffled.
ca 8/50 has to do with a bone in the foot; ca 8/60 with flower petals
ca8/50: first 3 letters of San Francisco's state + ca4/5 + not you (vowel)
ok then the G is a 6. Thank you ladycece, will work on those clues.
Opps I just realise I had an inside voice go outsid (goes and hides in embarrasment)
thanks Une, got it. New one for me!
Cheers
hehehe np lady
me too, sprite!
hello, all :-)
hi Une, going to work on your clue
Sorry Sprite I had to say it. it shirts me to no end that I was at school for 6 years, then 15 years since I left and now they say no partners
Sprite you have raced thru this grid so fast!
ok that was the foot one, I see. Now the flower petal one missing still, and a G6.
my only g6 is gl6/27, a brief look
yeah I understand, lady. I'd rather go with my love too!
i need the flower petal one too, sprite
Nanette, but I hit the brick wall at full speed! Still dizzy from the impact.

Hi Red and Ormal
Hi Ormal

yw sprite and well done!
yw sprite and well done!
ga6/33: a girl + sounds like a hairy ox
brilliant clue, Ormal
yes, brilliant
a very interesting grid. Learned quite a few new words and had to whip my monkeys to get them going.
and a weird word too
still on nights, It is not a difficult job, but the first person who was orienting me made my life very difficult.
how's that, red?
sprite could you clue the gl7/33 please
red, I hope you are away from her...not ni4 at all
oops gl6/33
gl* + metal container

jbp...showy is on the right track
omg , do fish come with caffeine?
un 8 is def. not a fish
omg , do fish come with caffeine? what's that supposed to mean?
showy.... there's no business like show business...
a fish is an obvious word
fish slap is when you need a clue for a WICKED obvious word

need more for showy................
a chandelier is o6.18
a movie theatre lobby can be o6 too

Hi there Judi
Hi Haz, so nice to see you
Hi Judi
Hi Haz!
Hello Hazel!
ca8/60 - ends in Miss Blanchett.
Mom they are going up an FB I think i didn't do it at the time (a year ago) as the net was being sketchy
ok Herin, thanks
Hello everyone. It's a wee bit of a sticky grid today, written in heavily underscored understatement font.
it is a nasty one for sure Haz
lol and ty for the clue Haz
Greetings all It is a tad of a challenge today.
Hi FMitch
Hi FM
ca8/60 - ca plus **nxxx from Oz, finish with another Aussie, Miss Blanchett.

Hello, FM.
HI Becca
Hello, Becca, nice to see you.

Hello England
Hi lynxxx, Annie, hego, et al.
Hi Mom, hi Haz, hi Annie.
Nite Lyn
Haz, I like your no5 clue
Twas you, lynxxx! Sleep well!
lol *waves to herin*
good night Lynxxx, pleasant dreams
Bye lyn.
I have a lot of words but trying to clue them has stumped me so haven't chattted until now.
night lynxxxie, sweet dreams
Thanks, Annie - I hope it helps whoever was looking for that n.
ty Haz. yeek what a word
It was me.
I'm telling you, this grid stretches the boundaries of imagination.
BRB hard boiled eggs should be done by now.
There were words I thought would never be accepted and I tried and there were! This Babble...silly me
And words I thought would be accepted, but no joy :o(
It is one of the hardest we have had for a while.
sounds like a normal Babble day to me.
FM, yes it is...are you going to make egg salad?
LOL, hego
:o)
loved deviled eggs
Haven't decided yet but thought I would at lest get the eggs done and then decide.
deviled eggs are one of my favorites
FM, whatever you decide I am sure it will be absolutely wonderful.
bye for now. bbl
bye bye Hego
Bye hego.
TTFN hego
must have some breakfast...going to rummage
Who doesn't love deviled eggs?
bye {{Annie}}
my sweetie, for one Judi
See you later, Annie.
I've never had devilled eggs - how do you make them?
Bummer, Mom. All the more for us, though.
I use Miracle Whip, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, sugar and the yolks
I usually sprinkle them with paprika - just to make them look prettier.
yes, it does make them pretty
v simple Becca cut eggs in half lengthways - take out the yolks and mix with mayo, Dijon mustard salt & pepper and then spoon back into the egg.
I top with a little parsley and cayene pepper.
Mmm, sounds lovely. Will have to try one day soon.
time to start my day .... {{hugs}} to all of you
Bye, Mom.
Bye Mom.
Bye Mom have a good day.
bye bye Haz, Becca and FMitch.
If you don't like egg yolks, you can fill them with guacamole.
Ar ethere really 17 G words?I only have 6 so far.
Hi Judi
They're mostly pretty bizarre, Becca.
Just found 2 more very bizarre ones Haz.
Clue for the o please?
or6 - heavily decorated
TY Haz.
Am typing too slowly today to keep up with the speed cluer :)
You're welcome. enable also thinks that you can have a negative prefix to give you an 8. What's wrong with saying it's plain?
How is Ballymena today Haz?
It started off wet and windy, now it's just windy.
Clue for the rh7, please?
but you can add another prefix to it tho.
this thing never ends
It's our RDA end of term barbecue tomorrow, so we'd like some sunshine or at least dry weather.
rh7 kinda like wicker + sometimes vowel
Ty, Une.
rh7 - r plus what the milliner makes, I just can't take this *** more!'
yw :-)
Will keep fingers crossed Haz, we were due thunderstorms but they haven't arrived yet.
Hi Une!
It just makes life much simpler if the sun shines.
howdy, fmitch! :-)
OK. Of all the strange words today, that is the strangest.
Hello, Une!
hey, haz :-)
back in a mo *poof*
I would beg to differ wht
Apparently the rh7 is a shrub. That goes on a long list of things I didn't know about the words today.
I think I should go and wash up. Votes please - all those in favour of staying to play, say AYE.
Aye!
AYE
aye
Oh dear, FM. That means that there is someting very strange still lurking in the grid.
Aye
This grid reminds me of the test i had today
well it might be that they wree strange to me and you have already got them wht :) Hi herin - how did it go?
If it was up to you lot, my house would be even messier than it already is!
Aye! phantom: halcyon.. hi Babblers!
Will stay a bit longer - till I get halfway.
ga6/33 gets my vote. The female dyslexic long-haired bovine.
Hi Aloy.
Hi Aloy and FMitch
Aloy - greetings!!
Thanks to the cluers. I have nbt now and maybe I can get back to work.
Hello, Aloy!
Hi Boo
Aloy! Hello
good to "see" you all.. am back north after a month of traveling, laptop has crashed forever, so thankfully my desktop is still ok.
Haz I will send you the sun for tomorrrow and I will take your rain - pollen here is driving me nuts.
Haz, I am busy trying to decode that clue fo rthe ga.
Welcome back, Aloy! RIP for your laptop.
good morning, nee the lone N in the 5th column for nbt, plz?
no5/14 - French refusal (three), adverb ending, but backwards.
The Hawaiian goose lbd
Weird.
that's the n from the 4th column, haz, but thanks
oops, FM...
Hope you had a great time Aloy (apart from computer probs).
condolences, FM.. am also reaching for tissues because of cottonwood pollen
hi lib
back in a few, must go finish dye job on hair.
hi lbd!
ga6 - first three letters are for the female (or backwards what happens in chat when there is a delay), the bovine begins with the sometimes vowel but it's not spelled correctly here.
Fm it turns out that the paper was 12 pages long worth 40% of grades over all. The total marks in the paper was worth 80 they divide it by 2 and I have a numb finger from writing so much.
clue for the second ca 6
lol we can sniff and sneeze together Aloy - just never knew it was like this.
opps ca 6/21
sniffing and sneezing here too!
TY Haz, I can't imagine why I didn't get that straight away, it's so obvious.
*hands out kleenex*
herin when will you nkow how yo did (grat I am sure).
ca6/21 - American tin, then the first letters of ***son, famous British sailor.
Awe Ata and Hi ruru
what a wonderfully spelled sentence FM :)
Or to be contemporary, American tin, first letters of Mr Mandela (for that ca6/21)
Next week. I have already passed all my subjects (at a base pass) but I don't want just a base pass
I surpass myself sometimes Ata *grin*
you sure did!!
I know, Becca, sometimes word blindness afflicts us - it's a problem....
ty, Haz.. got em both! (-:
It is har d to type with tissues stuffed up yr nose - they block the screen :)
You're welcome, Aloy.
hate to bother Lickety again.. he sent me a replacement once .. but I miss his program
you sound like Keith Richards FM?
You'll not let the cleaner see you like that, FM?
I can email it to you Aloy
One more word then I'm off to wash up - any clues for the left hand a gratefully recieved.
as4 - Cinderella after she'd cleared out the fire.
ruru that joke just went straight over my head
NM, I'm halfway now. Bye for now.
Or a plus coy. Like Jordan.
TY Haz.
nm FM..just my sick sense of humor
Bye Becca.
And so I can't feel the tip of my finger from writting so much
Bye Becca
You can, FM? woow... my email changed, learned a lesson.. no more Outlook Express, lost everything.. but.. now I'm using gmai so that shouldn't happen again.. I will write you today and send my new address.. oh, that would be wonderful, thanks!... passes box of tissues
I need a clue for an6/21, please
I hope these tissues are Kleenex Balsam?
Try using a pen next time herin
OK Haz, the female bovine is as strange as the shrubby rh7 and you had a much better clue. (at least once my monkeys figured it out.)
an6 - add a material used in wedding dresses etc.
ah, thank you, Haz
I told you, wht. Very strange words today.
No Haz, Kleenex mansized
You're welcome, Annie.
real men don't use kleenex
But you can get man-sized Kleenex Balsam. You owe it to your nose!
Now I really have to get back to work.
No, they wipe their nose on their sleeves.
exactly!
See you later, wht.
Not suffering with Rudolph nose syndrome - eyes are red but c'et la vie - can't wait until the rape seed fields get into full bloom :(
I've been fortunate never to have suffered allergies but my sister suffered terribly from hay fever for many years, so I know the misery it can cause.;
Ata how is that hangnail?
Haz I never did until the last couple of years but this year has been the worst by a long way.
my allergies are thankfullly gone now until October
Oh what when Halloween returns ruru?
me too.. only in the past six years for me..
lol..yes.. Deathly allergic to pumpkins
lol
Are anti-histamines of any use?
*grin*
Good day, all!!
I use Astelin with great success FM..
they help you breathe, Haz.. but make my mind fuzzier than norm
Hello, Krysten.
Yes, that was always the problem for my sister. She ended up really zonked with them.
I've tried some but had to stop as they were not mixing with meds that I am on at the mo.
try the Boots one, FM. they have a different main ingredient to the main CLarityn ones
.. and the pseudoephedrin keeps me up all night.. ugh, so I take it in the morning
That's a nuisance. Best stick with the nose pluggers...
a nice lady at Boots told me that, and they do work a lot better for me. Worth a go!
I remember when I was taking my O levels back in the 70's and feel so sorry for all thos kids that were trying to take exams whilst suffering with hayfever.
Exactly, FM, my sister was one of those who sniffled their way through O and A levels.
The morning ritual sneezing seemed to go on forever.
Will look into that Ata thanks, hows the leg coming along?
really... fm...nothing like snotty kids taking tests....
lol had physio today and got told off for trying to get better too quickly
Snotty and spotty kids. Not a lot going for them at that age, is there?
LOL
Oh Ata - you MUST pace yourself outerwise you will pay for it later in life *sounds like Ata's Aunt again*
lol .. pictures class of snotty spotties
Aly can I ask do you have a form of ADHD?
You can do a Pollyanna, FM and say 'Let's be glad I don't have ac4/5'
I know! I thought I *was*!!
Well I would but that is part of the prob that I am on the meds now, can you believe!
hi herin.. not that I know, but maybe I've gone undiagnosed.. do you detect a symptom?
not liking these c's very much
There are very few words today that anyone likes ruru.
I like a ga6/24
None of the letters cover themselves in glory today, I fear.
good morning/afternoon, everyone :)
Hello, cybernan.
I know with me and Sudafed that having slight ADHD tendancy that stuff perks me up
But pseudoephedrin is known to have stimulant qualities, that's why it's banned for athletes. Ask Linford Christie.
I foresee a much better grid tomorrow - generous in size and more accommodating with its wordage ... why .... because I have to work.
ah.. interesting.. it does induce insomnia for me
Same as Phenergan, sets me spaz. Wasn't until recently my friend who's son is ADHD told me the doctor gave him that stuff and he wizzed about the room for 12 straight hours.
I said earlier I would tell you more about the Dreaded Hangnail
lol ata
so I will, while I'm thinking about it
egads herin.. I had to sign for it and show my i.d. because it is regulated now. Drug dealers used to buy lots of it and "cook" it in meth labs
it caused him - no joke - to get the boat from St Agnes to St Mary (round trip of about 3 - 4 hours) because the tube of Savlon he had wasn't working. He wanted a new tube, because he couldn't wait till the next day when we were going to be in St Mary's anyway. And he made me, plaster cast adn all, go and buy him more plasters because if he didn't have a plaster on it, well ... who knows what would happen!
This was about 14years ago.
Ata, I hope your story has a happy ending? Poor guy..
Ata I wish to politely suggest that he needs to be deManded
and THEN! nothing was making it better. He decided it was ezcema, and so I told him to put a bit of my super-strength eczema cream on. This stuff is far above hydrocortisone that it's not in the same universe. I have a tube that I've been using since 2006 - you need so little and I use it a lot. I'm about half way through the tube.
so he takes the tube. and gives it back to me empty the next morning
But did it cure the hangnail?
Should we inform The Lancet?
no LMAO
'Hangnail cure discovered'
eventually, you'll be pleased to know, it got better. But even then it caused great angst because he had to moisturise the skin every hour or so in case it CAMe BACK!
You can't trust a hangnail.
That's why they're called hangnails. They hang around.
Lurking.
you really can't!
Waiting.
Preparing to pounce.
*weeping* I've finished the G's.
and cause weeks - WEEKS - of trauma
They're trained by the SAS.
Poor Judi. Just be glad you don't have a hangnail as well.
I still would like to nard him
and then! when my mother came down to look after me when we got back from the Scillies, he kept trying to get her to look after him because of the thumb!!
it was hilarious. Mother was sooooo unimpressed
At least there aren't so many h words.
herin - what time is it with you?
wtg, Judi, am still slogging through the c's
Hangnail hangover. What a whimp!
What a tale Ata!!!
1256am
you are a night owl aren't you.
you missed the start of it, FM and Judi - "oh dear. LMAO. just been talking to husband's sister. Apparently he told her that we'd both been injured in the Scillies, my injury worse, yes, but only a bit. Hmmm. You all know what happened to me ... he had - wait for it - a hangnail on his thumb. *FACEPALM*"
Of for heavens sake Ata .. but then again I guess I expect no less from D.
I never realized that hangnails were so dangerous
*eyes rolling over head and onto floor*
And his sister is just as bad. I explained the real situation, and she still only asked how husband was!!
Did he cause the hangnail when he tried to shave his own hair again? Using thumb for a guideline?
hi ruru
ROFL
hiya Boo
it just appeared, apparently, and I was very uncaring because I didn't notice for a week LMAO
Well, ruru, now that you know, you need to be on the look out. A neglected hangnail is a dangerous hangnail.
*checks fingers carefully*
calling abuse hotline on Ata...
I prefer to nanna nap in the day
Obviously he's in need of a Hangnail Support Group.
And B.f just got in
I must take a break for a while, lovely chatting and TTFN.
can you imagine if he was ever really ill?
Possibly hangnail grief counseling is in order as well.
bye dear!!
ciao for now, FM..
Take care FM
Bye FM!
Seeya, FM!
Ata if the b.f carried on like that I think he would wish there was a real nail in his nail
wouldn't hangnail grief conseling be clipped short?
lmao ruru
*snort*
There has to be something to be done. A ManiCURE?
a man-i-cure?
manicure is also called divorce over here
lol, Ata.. g1
*double snort*
B.f said Manflue
when we were in the Scillies, I took the real basics - toothbrush, cleanser, that's about it. No need for make-up in the middle of nowhere. He managed to fill up the cupboard above the sink in the bathroom of the house we stayed in *plus* another bag's worth of ointments and *stuff*
Well, time I was doing something even more useful than this. I won't say enjoy the grid, but may it not cause more grief than is caused by the average hangnail.
in addition to the c's that I am not liking.. I am having an aversion to these g's as well
lol bye dear! *hugs spanglettina*

{{Crossy}} hello, I was just thinking about you. I was wondering how Elegant it doing. I do hope she is feelilng better
I have 48 left, and have had 48 left for 20 minutes.

hello all
Afternoon ((crossy))
and Hi there peri!
Hi Peri, haven't seen you in a while. Have you been away?
See I told you Mom!
taking my cat to the V E T tomorrow, not looking forward to it and she won't be either
it is a bugger City
nope I have been here everyday, don't always chat tho
oh whats up with puss cat peri?
oh Peri, is she not doing any better
hi peri and crossy
still peeing outside the box and not pooping in the dining room :( my sister is not happy
Peri, you don't always chat? MIss your cheery voice
and now pooping in the dining room is what I meant
do you have your own bathroom Peri? Maybe if you can put her someplace out of your sister's way
Hope there is a simple way to sort things out peri dear.
hmmm, list is not all that helpful
no I share a bathroom with two other people. when I lived in the apt it was just Zoe-Anne and me and the litter box was in the bathroom
It is a humdingger of a grid kje.
didn't want to burst your bubble there KJE.
me too, FM.
I know she has kidney porlbmes and I keep incontinence pads under the litter box
phantom: hyaline
not liking this grid
Let us know how you get on at the V E T's
I will
oh {{Peri}} I hope it can be remedied easily
I will bring the carrier up from the basement at the last minute
love your icon, Mom
thank you Peri.
Talking of the V E Ts - Ata how did you get on with Sily yesterday?
she was an angel!!
Even when you had to put her into the carrier?
apart from that bit ...
my cat usually puts up a fuss getting into the carrier and fusses all the waya but is an angel when she gets to the vet too
lol did wonder ... but glad it was OK.
I live much closer to the vet now
help with both ca8 pls
I have some mending to do, best get at it. {{Hugs}} to all of you.
Byeee Mom
she howled and fussed all the way to the vet. then was an angel tehre
bye bye FM
bye Mom
It is probably all the movement and noise of the car journey that drives them nuts and once the get to the vets it is calm again - how are cats on the way back from the vets?
she is fine going back home
un8 anyon?
ca8/50 ... sw state + tin container + two vowels
she must picl up on my anxiety too
un8/45 - not elaborate or decorative
equally chaotic!!
un8 = plain, not decorateive
ca 8/60 - sw state + sometimes vowel, + an animal that doesn't enjoy carriers + vowel
ty for the ca8
yw, I had to get clues for the ca8s myself, they're horrible
nopt seeing the un8 and the other ca8
down to 40 - need a break
Gonna TTFN again, spent too long infront of the PC today.
ttfn FM
or6/18 is decorative, Peri, add the un prefix
bye, FM
Bye all *poof*
ty for the un8
*sings* "They call me Cuban Pete, I'm the king of the Rumba beat, When I play the Maracas I go Chick chicky boom Chick chicky boom"
I hate words that start with non and un they look stupid and are hard for me to find
:-) Eva
*water balloons Eva*
well, that was cheery :) this grid needs some sort of accompaniment
bbl
bye peri
seriously are you still at it ata?!?
she deserves it always :D
have to go too, bye folkses.
bye city
could anyone please clue the sa6/24 please? Just can't see it at all.
*pokes Ata in the eye and runs for her life*
see? SEE??!!
self-defense!
she started it!
fair enough you deserve each other lol
Ata never appreciated my love taps. :(
doing somthing not mad Sandie
taps are not loving!!
Of course. I see it now. Thanks.
i'm sure the phrase used was "poke"
well, my love pokes me from time to time, but thats probably not appropriate for mixed company. ;)
exactly. pokes are even more not loving!!
eva!!! see???!!
you should tell my fiance that, then. i have been taught that poke = LOVE!
no dear, that's just sex :P
a belated thanks for the 8's clues!
seriously I need a clue for the second ta4/5 it's driving me mad!
but... but... but... we are getting MARRIED!
oh well, in *that* case ...
seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?????
some pokes are embarrassing in mixed company, when they are actually using a finger to poke in the arm (my husband did it at the most inopportune time)
other poking is quite good
i abuse you because i LOVE you. :P
I'm not very into poking today cos I went to physio earlier and she kept poking at my knee and it HURT
well, your eye is nowhere NEAR your knee. DUH.
it's the principle of the thing!
my principal was a really nice man. he would NEVER poke anyone in the knee.
most of my principals were evil little nuns. they would
well, you should poke THEM in the eye, then!
you can't do that to nuns!
they beat you with rulers. i say hit them back! or better yet -- water balloon them!
red food colour water balloons!
erm... blood of christ? *smiles awkwardly*
ok, let's make it orange lol
orange of christ?

I think so!!
good!
I'm sorry, but that was just funny as heck
no** of the clues are helping me
no no giggle away. . .
just use random letters, jmc. seems to be the way forward
I agree with Ata...
ugh I ha** grids full of babblets
i want words that I can look at and say -- that's a word!
lol I know. this grid is just something else
instead we get words that we say--Huh? That's a word?
ok off to get things done...good luck!
bye cjm
the r is an rh I presume
what are the stats?\
139
rh7/40
but feels like twice that with all of the weird words

eggs in the PB

I just ate them! Hard boiled with some Beer n Brat mustard sorry
Did you leave any of the margaritas?
Yes there is a large pitcher - wow, it's not even Friday!
The ac6 add a consonant to the ac5 before it.
Margaritas?
got it
With that everyone starts typing their words into the chog to get to the margaritas in the PB.
right!
Lookout son you will drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln.
Or playing Babble as the case may be.

wow, Jilli is on the last 7, I am on my last 79
bichon it builds off of the ac5
and pertains to it
I've been using morewords ;)
and did a lot last night
it helps
well, i am now down to 77.... :)
jilli a lot of what?
I started this morning, but have been in and out all day. and now am exhausted from the in and out.
I'd never have got some of those strange useless biggies without morewords
an6.21 an & tie up your shoe****s
61 and I am leaving for a while
a lot of babbling, hego
ty lynxx
I use it as a very last resort.
so do I, hego!
I use more words there at the end sometimes. I find it very useful.
it's easier to ask Lyn. lol
but lately at the flip so many people "call" biggies they've found that I sometimes check morewords when I absolutely can't find them -- and I think I'm justified when you look at the ca8s here!
oh, yes
I use Morewords a lot! and leave Lickety as very last resort
Oh, I have Lickety all along (when he's here) because I have Expert.
I really must go!
bye Jilli
I really want to do this without the list, but my resistance is flagging
Go Ata
morning Ata, how was the physio
lol I got told off for trying to do too much
Fair enough, you don't want to ruin it all and go thru all this again I imagine. Can understand your frustration though, it's been such a long time.
ce6 anyone?
it#s just annoying when too much is doing 10 leg lifts instead of 5!!
ce + put high oc**** fuel in your car
Hi Gwen and ty

There seemed to be A LOT of words that I've never seen in the grid or before.
Or ever heard of.
ditto, merk -- useless.
dont get the un 8 clue and I dont see it! lol
ty, I think I need to rest my brain for awhile. See you tomorrow, I hope.
SG, it attaches un to an ordinary word which means fancy.
maybe I dont have the fancy word
The other word is in the grid.
i have 27 left now - they are quite difficultto find some of these words -hated the cs
from un, go down to the right, hang a left, and climb.
confused

Hi, NB. Great sciencegeek. You have gorgeous stuff on your website. Must run and fix dinner, but nice to meet you

witness protection program, tonight they have a witness who is supposed to have aspergers syndrome.
bummer. help please?
ca7 ca* state again & movie theatre or ****ma

Haivng had the guest with Asperger's this February, I am wondering if it will be portrayed at all well.
thanks lynxxx
hi red! how's the new job?
thx lynxxx ;)
there are so many different things along that spectrum.
ca8 ca & me, **nxxx & Australian actress **** Blanchett
thing about asperger's is that it can manifest so very differently depending on multiple factors...
New job is difficult and easy. the patients are easy, the staff are a little provincial and don't do well apparently with new people. Some have been good and some have been hideous.
thanks lynxxx *thinking*
thx lynxxx
got it! one. more. C. word.
ugh, like starting a new school! good luck, red
5 more for me (C's that is)

is the last GA 6 fishy?
now trying to decide if I can spare some ice cream into the diet.
SA6/24?
yes. ALWAYS room for ice cream in diet. *shoves aside three plates of salad for one scoop of 'scream*
well, I am wanting to reduce.
sa 6/24 turn the sa 4/4 into an adjective
An sa6/24 is adverbial form of the sa 4/4 word Minski

Thanks. Got it.

got it thanks to a2z.
rh 7/40 is rh plus vowel plus actor Paul Bet**** Minski.

Ha7 is an easy word to find for anyone who knows farms or horses.

CE&?
British Punk band = The Cl***
oops make that CE7?
19 left to find
That ce7/36 is ce + ending of an octopus arm Minski.
I have seen that clue over and over again and I'm not getting it. I know I'll go DUH! when I do but is there another way to clue it.
instead of octopus, think the top of a mountain, the pinn****
I think I found it. What would we do without a2z?
cen + ending of an octopus arm
OK...dilemna here...
yep got it A2Z wordfinder is a gem.
btw, the oldest shoe ever found was in Armenia... http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/06 /09/armenia.old.shoe/index.html?hpt=C2 very cool.
really pini? over what?
Kind of like the no clue I've seen over and over again.
...estranged family writes me emails to ask if I will attend a neice/nephew event...
bbl
...an event I have no knowledge of (and they can't even spell my friggin' name right)!
later sam
what do I do?
*sigh* it's up to you pini. Do you want to mend bridges? do you trust them that much?
do you like the niece/nephew?
is it an argument with the niece-phew or the elders?
I have no issue with my nieces/nephews...it's all of their parents
is it an event that is important to the parents, or to the niece-phews?
i'd send a card or gift to the niece/nephew and not attend.
depends on the event,and remember it is not the fault of the neice or nephew
niece/nephew, not the parents
I mean -- it seems that something that they would like you to be there is one thing, but if it's a parent thing, then I'd do what LBD says
hey cross! is the bookstore ready for guests yet?
well, it's my nieces hs graduation party...I've not been involved in her life, so this is, no doubt, more of a "family" event...
not yet stiddles,its a way off yet,around fall and several things have to fall in place for it all to work
I think a card and a small gift would be appropriate, pini.
i'd just send a card and maybe a gift card in it. i wouldn't attend since you aren't that close to the family
(note: I just received the query, "will you be joining us?" - but have never received an invitation; and my estranged siblings can't even remember how to spell my name (I know petty on that issue, but still))
thx all ... much appreciated
we only just got a graduation announcement for Tom's niece. Not an invitation to the ticketed event. We'll send something nice to her. Rarely hear from Tom's sibling other than the automatic inclusion in the holiday snail-mail.
???? They are THAT estranged??? wow...
*popping in* that is very much not a petty issue pini, a matter of respect i think
that's my thought, stid (and you know some about the estrangement)
which reminds me, I still have to put together a new-year note for distribution. LOL
hey LA!
thx LA
Hate to ask for clues for last 7 words,but I'm so tired
oh. it's THAT part of the family. *wicked mama look* make it a gift only the student/grad will like, nothing the elders would be interested in... but something nice.
Does anyone have the 1st CA8?
Does anyone have a clue for the no 5/14 word please
go for it Min! that's why I am hanging out tonight.
sounds like a plan, stid!
first CA 8 looks greek
ga6 after the ga4 force winds?
ca 8/50:beginning of west coast state + tin *** plus 2 vowels Minski.
ca**ium (in bones) + ** apple (article, not the) + two vowels in order
GA 6 is metallic stone, end with mother of mary an**
stid, its the same people who probably will NOT attend Camo Boy's 1st bday party...hypocrits, back-stabbers, nose-turners, etc.
That ga 6/24 word is ga plus actress **** Olin Pinikula
Thanks got it.
*wickeder mama look* we'll hold a bonfire on the beach when you are here pini, and we'll put (misspelled) names of offensive people in it...
12 lefyt
works for me, stid!!!
im not for advice in this area,as the member of my family that im closest with out of my siblings and or parents,is a brother 3 thousand miles away lol
your sib can't spell your name correctly? that's a crock!
go Minski! go Min!
ROFL watching Holy Grail, and they are at the cave with the bloodthirsty bunny...
I am missing one of the CA6s. I have the one sort of like where you leave your dog when you go on vacation.
go Minski!
you need a BIG gun again Minski?
do you have the one that is a really big gun that goes BOOOOM?
crossy, out of 5 siblings (1 is overseas and is not involved and 1 I'm very close to), 3 walked away with my parents from me and my dau's
I think that's one of the things that hits pretty hard, lbd...that they can't even remember my name!
*puts protective, loving shell around pini* I am angry about that pini.

ga6 7 7 6 ?
Does anyone have a clue for the sh 6/27 word please
all fishies, I'm sure
not me, min
Actually I need both sh 6/27 words if you have those.
GA 6 is the wind + North America, then plural
sh + d**** boy (song)
sh6/27 - full of sh5/12
then take off the last two letters and substitute 2/3 of frozen water
thx stid
then first three letters + misspell a tibetan wooly cow
got 'em, stid! thx
go pini go!
so, this is cool,
"Captain SmartyPants" (part of the Seattle Men's Chorus) will perform at the pride festival in Olympia this Saturday. I might take the kiddos...
Or go Sunday for the parade. Decisions, decisions.
25 to go
OR, (since I don't have schoolwork) we could do both...
1st ga6?
both, stid ;)
enjoy for me!
goooooooo pini! *puts choclit cake at finish line*
plural pini...
*stands by with kippered herring*
* eyeing cake *
never did figure out what "kipper" means. *zips out to look*
pl? the S isn't close enough!
Thanks guys. Bear with me please, just 2 words to go
only missing 2....AC6 & AC7.
Does anyone have a clue for the on 5/14 word please
not me
"As a verb, "to kipper" (see kippering), means to preserve by rubbing with salt or other spices before drying in the open air or in smoke. " from wikipedia -- it also means a particular kind of herring, apparently
go Minski!
got the AC6
Help with the AC7
share Minski
please
AC 7 == past tense dine on the ac 4/7
there is no on5/14
AC 6 is the AC 5 in adjective form
That ac 7/40 word is ac 4/7 plus to be tardy Minski.
add a consonant to the ac5 aboveit
*waits for firewords for minski*
!!!!!FIREWORKS!!!!!
still stuck on the gl6/27
Oops! Sorry, I meant to ask for no 5/14.No wonder I never got a clue for it before. I also need ga7/40 too
I hate it when congestion makes my teeth hurt... *sigh* might have to resort to a bit o' the pirate cure-all tonight.
ha7?
gl6 = a quick look is a gl6
That gl 6/27 word is to take a quick look at Pinikula.
go for it, stid!
oy vey!!!!!!!! thx min ;)
NO 5/14 = no* (not) + "sick" i*l spelled funny
The ha7/48 word is horse food plus ****r beer Pinikula
YAY minski!!!!!
er...thx Minski!
ha7 = horse food + consonant + I am 43 years old, what is your ***?
thx min ;)

That pe 6/27 word is pe plus ****r beer Pinikula.
I gave my 2 year old one blackberry to eat this morning on the way home from the farmstand. I had no idea the size of the mess a baby can make with just one berry. Face, hands, hair, arms, legs, shirt, shorts, all purple. One berry.....must at least start laundry.
ROFL!
too cute, Minski!! LOL
that's the one, min ;)
I should have taken a picture. It was classic!
like a spaghetti feed, yes?
lol, oh minski, that would have been precious to see, especially 20 years later!
pe5/14? fish?

That pe 5/14 word is sing a song of six pe*** Pinikula.

*poof*
I was a cy 5/18 today&thought that I woudn't finish the grid since I started extremely la4/4, but al 4/4 I did finish. I was el5/10ed when I finished. It's always ni 4/4 to finish a grid. I ha 4/5 it when I don't finish a grid.No4/4 of my monkeys would come when called They wanted to sh4/6 me & this awful grid.However I dragged one monkey by the ta4/4 to my ca4/5.But my monkey & I cl5/14ed. I had to lock up my monkey in his ca4/7 and en6/27 him.Guess I couldn't pay him enough ca4/6 to help me.Monkey would gl6/27 at me every so often to see if I would let him out.I think he wanted to play with his other monkey friends; Gl 4/6 and La5/12. I think I need to en5/12 a new rule with my monkeys: they need to be tied to a chair so they can't get up&run around. Or maybe I should just put my monkeys up for sa 4/4 & get new ones who won't drive me insa4/4. Now it is very la 4/4. I need go to bed and watch Jay Le 4/4. Goodnight to all babblers!
Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

Hi Everybody. How are you all tonight?
hi nef ;)
Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
I just got home from work at 9:30; ate supper; and now sat down to a nice-sized grid But is it a NICE grid too?
it's not horrible...but can be a bit tricky now and then.. ;)
Hi, Pini and Min
(must run Koda out for a few minutes...brb)
Since you are just starting I'll be ni 4/4 and not send you to the Penalty Box Nef. I have to go, but a story of clues is in my profile Nef if you need it later tonite
Oh Good! I love your stories, Min! :-D
And I see I should have been sent to the PB too. Sorry
Wow! It's sure quiet here. I just checked; there's only 80 of us here! That has to be the smallest number in a long time! Must be a very fast grid!
ok...I'm back...Koda's taken care of (for the moment) and I've popped a couple of cookies in the oven (rather than just eat the dough) :)
(night min)
just a couple of cookies, Pini?
ok..5 to be exact!! LOL
Such discipline!
gotta make 'em last as long as possible!!!
BRB, I need some tylenol now that I've slowed down -I hurt!
hurt from what? you ok?
back. I hurt from weather changes -and a 15 hourday. Not to worry
sorry to hear, nef...hope you feel better soon!
it's just that as we age, we get these "reminders" (aches and pains) that tell us we shouldn't expect to act like we're 20 when we are over 3 times that old
good point!!
I'd still like to think we're aging with pure grace!!!!
we are! It's just that we (meaning ME) shouldn't try to work 15 hour days full tilt
I'll 2nd that, Nef (for me, too!)
Yes .. Long days should be worked partially tilted ..
cute, tor...and hi ;)
how about half tilt? Hi tor! :-)
Heyas .. 16 left ..
git'r dun, bud!
Too many weird words ..
hi neff!
*nef
hi Jilly. How are you tonight?
Heya Jilly
good, but i only worked 8 hours! lol
at what point in this world did someone come up with the idea that nurses did well with 12 hour shifts.. Hi Tor!
Well, with DH being sick recently, I'm the nurse manager of the clinic and I had some serious catching up to do
Must have been in the air today, I also found myself wishing I could clone myself and be in two places at once
My clinic ran from 7:00 til 4 PM, the other 5 hours were the catchupI that I to do
I'd like to clone myself and let the robot go tto work for me so I could enjoy PT!
what type of nursing do you do, Jilly?
PT, Pini?
personal time
It's a small hospital so I have multiple choices. LOL. My main job is overseeing the endoscopy department and being the diabetic nurse educator. I also fill in pre-op teaching, surgery center, PACU...etc
Pini, I was wondering how PT fit into babble!
jilly-of-all-trades...
oh, we find our ways, don't we??? Babble PT!
is this in Hamilton? (dusting off he keyboard now)
Hamilton?
Yep
That was for Jilly, Pini. I kind of dozed off for a second; so I;m not making nmuch sence
gotcha ;)
* fluffs pillow for Nef's head *
Yeah, I need sleep. 2
how are you coming along, tor? done yet?
I need sleep. Good night evry boday. See you tomorrwo incchog

I haven't had any problems...
hi all
hi jmc
so it'd be natural to think it's my connection, but it's been bad for everyone on Wordsplay
maybe it's my connection in general, plus just Wordsplay
i just ran ccleaner on my various computers and that solved my internet problems
or maybe the cyber-terrorists have begun their global attack
don't scare me, grem!!!!

Pini: BOO!
booe?
