sorry -- was watching the news about S Africa's joy :)
that's okay jilli
hehe, are we aloooone, ruru????
who knows.?
I guess the lurkers would
love your icon jilli..very cute
I thought so ;)
thanks
hi all
i guess everyone has gone ...just a quick look for me
hi barb -- ruru is here too (or was)
nope.. still here
hi Jilli and ruru
did you just start, ruru?
at 11: ish
so you must benearly finished :)
100 so far
111 here but I started at the flip :-/
you are almost done.. go jilli
ah, but I'm seeing a wall before me...
haven't found any 8's yet
me either..cant even find two 4 to connect together guess that would be too easy
I have ne8, ph8, pr8, re8
but there are 2 more
wow go jilli
mom is still in hospital...the bleeding seems to have slowed by no answers why yet
*but
barb, she's getting the best care possible, I'm sure.
she is I just hope they do the scope while she is in there...not release her and then try to do it as an outpatient....that would be so difficult to do....on so many levels
I'm with you there, barb!
I haven't told my husband that the specialist is the one who tried to tell him he had nothing wrong and then it turned out to be cancer in his gallbladder...On the one hand I am sure she must be a good doctor but I feel leary about her
I don't want to "stir" the pot so to speak and as for another doctor
whoa, it's important!
I think you must have confidence in the doctor.
You can ask for a second opinion.
pardon me...she was the one who insisted there was nothing wrong with him and he had double pnemonia...and full of gall bladder stones...when they removed the gall bladder they found cancer
I meant you should have a doctor you have confidence it.
*in
She seem to be really on the ball today...really asking lots of questions and I understand they don't want to put her to much but at the same time I think the only way to know if there is a real problem they have to do a scope and look in
Yes you are right Jill and maybe I am just over analysing things ...
can't type or spell tonight geesh
There is such a thing as a virtual scope -- I had one.
tell me more .... never heard of that
It's a special kind of cat scan.
maybe that is the scope they are talking about...but I can ask about that tomorrow
hi everyone
I had one in the Duncan hospital, a virtual colonsocopy. It still needs the cleaning out.
Hi andree.
hi andree
I can't see how she can have much left for cleaning out...but still would be so much better to do while she is in there thanks for telling me about it jilli I will ask tomorrow
They may not have the machine there, barb.
well off to bed for me...can't keep my eyes open anymore
they may not but we do have a newer catscan machine
goodnight, barb, and try not to worry.
thanks jill I will try
night to ruru and andree too and anyone else out there
nite there barb
can't find the re 8
it sounds over and over again, ru
now I found it
thank you.. figured it out
this grid is a lot friendlier than the last few
yay -- just found the se8 :)
*wishes she could find the sa 6/27*
and fini
yeah jilli.. excellent
sa + see the little lambs having a ****ic in the field
??
yay jilli
it's " a poisonous oily cyclic carcinogenic ether C 10 H 10 O 2 that is the principal component of sassafras oil and occurs also in other essential oils (as camphor oil) and that is used chiefly in perfumery."
sa + to and *** + cons.
hey... I'm in the grid!
congrats on your fame, freep!
and you not a word
hello all
hi ursh too
hi ursha nd just
thank you jilli
could you clue the last re 6/21?
could someone throw out a clue to any 8's, i have no**
YW, ruru -- I guess you don't have sheep and lambs like we do.
re6/21 -- you should re**** your sins (if you have any)
i only have 1 andree a newborn and plural
< didn't realized you were wild and wooly up there
re8 -- sounds over and over again
* adjusts halo* What sins?
SSI is famous for lamb.
there is a pr8 and ph8 with the same ending
and a pe8
just need the ne 7/36 now
done
ne7 begins like a not niece and ends like the Reagen son.
thank you jilli for those two clues
YAY ruru!!! (yw)
found it just after I asked for it...*pullng a peri*
LOL!
*Reagan
morning all :)
(in case anyone else needed the ne7)
yay ruru
cool opener, jilli!
Hi spritey!
I thought it was fun, sprite :) And yours are interesting, but I think one is a deer's foot.
oh that is quite possible. I'll add it.
hi sprite
I can see your mother and child in a very small version but can't see what they are -- can you enlighten me?
ok, corrected
hi Andree!
this grid is much nicer than the previous few.
yes.. much kinder grid
a mama deer and her child, jilli
thx ursh and jilli
last two were pretty hard. I learned several new words. Actually, my last 3 words yesterday were all weirdos.
are you fawning over that sprite?
just over you, sweetie
that's so deer
I thought maybe. I haven't seen many little fawns this year -- some years there are lots, usually twins.
why don't we run off and antelope?
doe n't mention it
lol
I hoped you had groan up, ru.
he is just kidding
nope I am just a bambi-no
but you just can't buck the habit, can you.
no place like babble to find other word jokers :D :D
if you are of that elk .. welll what can I say
I should stag ger off to bed.
we mooset control ourselves though
roe roe roe your boat...
Ido caribou it a lot however
that is so goat of you
don't horn in on each other
are you lamb-basting me?
I might just springbok out of bed
yes. Beavery afraid.
ROOOOOOOFFFL
I give up! ROFL!
laughing out loud here as well!
YOu otter not give up yet jilli
I can't bear it!
I'll make you a cub of milk, jilli, all will be well...
I should be lion aroung
around that is
and taking it easy
Lion around me isn't a smart thing to do, ruru
I should be lion in bed!
beavery afraid...lol
I should bull-y you to tell the truth!
jilli, I am sure you are a lion in bed
yeah, that gets the prize.
:)
I mean beavery afraid gets the prize.
bull-y or steer me to the truth?
Enough of this badgering.
hehehe either!
thanks jilli :)
lol jilli
sprite was just hedge-hogging her bets
you better duck in time, ruru, here come my bats
morning all. how many words today please
you guys realize we have run everyone else off the chat.. jeez
hi sandra, 155 today
She's pulling the wool over our eyes.
thanks
So we'll feel sheepish.
they aren't cow-ards, are they?
poor sandra!
you shouldn't teat them that way sprite
My, there's no talent to this girl's end.
do not worry about me, just pull the udder one!!!
roflolllll!
well .. my famous saying jilli is: if you can Bleat them .. join them..
oh gawd, another one!
if you can't beat them, burn them ;)
wtg sandra :D
*can't*
you're just parroting old sayings, ru ;)
heading to bed... to count sheep...nite all you lovely people.. hagn..lol

*wipes tears from laughter from eyes and focuses on grid*
<-- exits laughing
pice
so close to prolongate!
and to prognose
and to fornicate. Best not go there tho.
lol Dachef, hi
you could amost elongate to fornicate in the foliage in this grid.
close, but no cigar, alas. As Freud already told us.
good morning, everybody
morning rubyfoo
Wasn't or6 in yesterday's grid? In the southeast corner?
it was
minimal nbt - exactly 1 word from each tile
wow, so much selfcontrol!
I think I've missed a very lively, pun-filled chog! :(
now I'll jump in, hoping some of my friends are still here
you did, ruby, but you can read back in the archives ifyou like
I couldn't stop laughing, it was a great way to start the grid.
I will, but have to try to get some words first -- what a morning so far! aaargh
could use some laughs
what was up?
do you know how to get the archive up?
trying to order nets for the fishpond. the co can't deliver in France so I'm typing and re-typing addresses in wales (imagine those!) and having trouble. Spent more than an hour so far, without success!
oh dear, welsh! Enigmatic language.
I'm now working on getting exactly 2 words from each tile
not neurotic much, are you?
I'd prefer to chalk it up to my autism (Asperger's), as opposed to a neurosis
internet ordering is very annoying!
hm sounds reasonable to me
I keep thinking I'm Asperger's , too, but my knowledgeable friends say "No!" resoundingly
people close to you should be able to tell if something like that was the matter, right?
Max is autistic, but not, LOL, Asperger's!
fireworks
ya anike!
I think it is a tough thing to learn to live with
Well, there's a lot more knowledge of Asperger's these days, a character on Boston Legal is an Aspie
I can't remember ever hearing of it in my first 50 years!
that is true, and not just more medical knowledge, but more public knowledge too. Less people who go 'huh'.
mini NBL!
I gotta go home so will catch you all tomorrow. Happy babbling
gratz samnz
bye anike and gratz
Are you doing minimal nbt, samnz?
but my vet was surprised when I diagnosed the dog. He shared all the symptoms with autistic children and I followed Temple Grandin's advice, put him on Prozac, and he's like a different dog. He makes eye contact now and seems to enjoy being touched.
Just completed min. nbt Douglas. Thought I'd try it out this time
bye anike
This grid
how great, rubyfoo. Did you also try T-Touch, if that is the right name... the special touch for animals?
samnz is a fast learner
I'm not sure of the official name, but I give Ruby a deep massage for 30-45 minutes each night
no it is a very light touch. Let me see if I can find it fast.
they don't like light touches because they have so much fur; it just makes them twitch
Yay samnz! mnbt is hereby a growing Babble trend! (Is that good?)
it is Tellington TTouch. It is light but does not make them twitch. It is spectacular.
of course that is good. The more games-inside-the-game the better.
I'll look that up, sprite, now I have to try and place that order again which is makingME twitch. Could use some TTouch myself!
I have three tiles where I have 1 word. All the rest have 2.
yes it works on humans too, grin. Go girl, and stop thinking, just blindtype the addresses. It is the only way with Welsh, grinnnnn.
Yea I guess that's the next step to mnbt Douglas, finding 2 for each tile
you could cycle around 4 full times today, samnz and Douglas.
oh no, only 3 times, sorry, I did not see the O
The bottom e only has 2, so 2 is the maximum number of cycles for today, sprite
Do you mean cycle thru 22 times?
There will be as many cycles as it takes to complete the entire grid
no, 3 full times before you get tiles that are greyed out. And I should shut up, because now I see it is only 2 full times, the E only has 2 words.
Sorry, you are right, Douglas
Well, I've never considered doing such a thing...until now, that is.
It would be so tempting to break the rule and add words as you notice them, regardless of whether a word has been found for that tile in the cycle that you're working on
Magpies, doves, crows and larks are having a fight in fr5 of my window.
Or you could just remember those words for the next cycle
It could work in theory lol
it wouldn't be my way of playing, for sure. I love the random typing words part the best.
"Jim, you can't risk your life on a theory!!"
lol samnz, you could write them down for next cycle... but that would remove all doubt about the neurotic part.
Lol this is hardly a matter of life and death
morning all. this cycling thing sounds a bit like the day I tried to save all my 4's for last Sprite, what a mess.
hi red! I can imagine :)
lol Douglas
well, you were there.
oh that day! We had fun though :)
the problem is, as soon as you tell yourself to skip the 4s, all you see are 4s. It is like not thinking about the blue elephant in the yellow custard.
Down to 2 tiles with only 1 word
yes, totally and then even if you see longer words.. you end up forgetting all the 4's you saw.
go Douglas!
I couldn't play that way, I swear. As soon as I have seen a word, I think I have entered it and forget it. Most days, my last words are words I already entered, but probably mistyped. Cannot see them for the life of me.
Just grayed the bottom e, down to 1 tile with 1 word...remembering words found for future reference
I have two 1/s remaining
What are your two 1's, samnz?
The E and the R in the middle column
Do you have the Greek letters?
and all of a sudden I am thinking... shall I go for TTouch practitioner and make that my new occupation? I feel I will be up to that, handicaps or not.
Ooh, ooh, what o's do you have, samnz?
I could en5 in that course
I dont think so
An American would spell that one with 6 letters, sprite
yeah, that is true. Still, it might help samnz find it, I hope
Oh ty sprite
lol it is how we spell it here, but I originally looked at it and dismissed it because I thought it needed the e on the end
That's one of the odd things about Babble, that letters from non-English alphabets are words
Whoo-hoo! 2 words from every tile!
NTB2 ?
... No Tiles Below 2
hi guys
I would say mnbt2
hi sandyloo! *hugs* How are thing?
Hmm
The only problem with that is that people will mix up nbt with ntb#
Hey Sandy
that should have read things*
evening all - this looks like another tough one
Hello sandy! There's something happening here, but what it is ain't exactly clear
lyn, it isn't. Very friendly. Nothing compared to the last 2 grids.
oh good - though I do like the hard ones
there's a man with a gun over there,
Are you ok with mnbt#, samnz?
hi sam and all, and Sprite: Bruce is feeling better, Nicky is being good and Diana is about to arrive for a short visit from Broome- the sun is shining and all's well with the world- how are you?
you're telling me, you'd better take care, you gotta stop, look around,
I love that song - hi doug and ruby
yes I do too. Yesterday's was interesting! Not exactly tough, but it had some words I really couldn't find without help.
hi sandy
Yea I'm ok with any of them
I found yesterday's the hardest yet, I don't know why, maybe there's too much going on here
hi Ruby
If you can imagine I just went out and did some weeding, better than placing that miserable order on the interet!
hello lynxxxx!
But at the moment I'm not play minimally because I have lots of other words. But I'm still trying to get nbt2
I am fine, sandy! So clearly on the right track at last. Even contemplating a new education... learning a new job. Tellington TTouch practitioner. What do you think about that!
lol rubyfoo
you will have to 'tell' me what that is!
will you make house calls, Sprite, this could be a paid field trip to France!!!
I then hereby declare that I have reached mnbt2, the state where I have exactly two words from every tile that has any words available
I will, rubyfoo, for sure!
sandy: it is a very special way of touching animals, it is amazing.
Sprite, what is a tellington touch practitioner
Aha! You're well on your way to minimal fireworks!
the garden looks wonderful although I am not winning the war of the weeds. I picked the peonies which had collapses from the rain, so I have many in the garden and some in a vase on the deck
I take it you're still working on the r, samnz?
maybe that's firework!
http://www.lindatellington-jones.com/
oh sorry i was too quick- we have a girl who comes and does the horses using a tecnique called 'Bowens' and has a human practice as well
Yea, it says there are 8 of them but I have no idea what the other 7 could be
samnz, do you have the 'manual' to make a certain food?
ty sprite
that is the site of the person who developed it. It is really really amazing. I know a little bit of it, and even I get results with the most stubborn, scared or crazy animals.
there is a phantom orange in this grid that is doing my heid in!
I have a r6 to make a steamed microwave pudding in 3 minutes. Mmmmmmm
looking for nbt, I just got an ne7 and an ne8!
Sprite, I will look that up later but a job sounds awsome and a new challenge is always good
Should you change your mind and stop doing naughty things?
Fish2, hello, and I suggest feeding it to the orangutan that is also not here.
nbt2!
hmmm, there a lot of ways to answer that doug!
I love this grid!
I will never stop doing naughty things. Only possible answer ;)
good, samnz!
hmmmm
farl
s
whoops sorry
I've forgotten how to be naughty :(
I haven't ruby
sandy, I think we will email about it! I am all energised just by thinking about it. I have sent a couple of emails about learning TTouch, basic course.
no you haven't, rubyfoo.
i'm sure Ruby hasn't
Aha, and found another r6. To r6 one's sins.
wtg samnz
you gals have great confidence in me!
Or perhaps to r6 for ones sins.
that is the word Douglas clued :)
if you knew once, rubyfoo, you know now. All that is preventing it from coming out is fear. If you really feel you don't know how anymore, try being a tiny bit naughty in secret. Today.
I'm working on getting 3 words from each tile... "This...this is madness!" "THIS...IS...SPARTA!!!"
I need a left-hand o for nbt
hehehe Douglas :)
LOL Sprite obviously is completely naughty
not fear, sprite, just fatigue! lol
It was in yesterday's grid, ruby
O, the same as the word in yesterdays grid
I certainly am ;)
I probably didn't get it then, either
rubyfoo: decorated
Yea but it started in the bottom right corner yesterday
yes lyn :)
aaah, thank you all
Didn't expect the other or6 to be a word, thought it was a proper name
thanks doug
it is a proper name, but as 4th definition it says: ( often lowercase ) mystic; oracular
the O6 that would make an M7 if it started with an M?
it would
Ha! I've never seen oracle used in that sense before
Oracular. Sounds like Dracula
Well, I learned something
so did I. Always so happy when grids teach me something new. And they do most days.
ooh, just got a surprise 7! yay
lovely :)
and another! what a friendly grid
I just located a 6 and a 7! ;-)
don't forget to try for plurals
but I didn't get the second o (proper noun one)
that o reminds me of an opera where the o person goes to the underworld
I hear there's pho in the PB... nom nom nom
good clue, sandy!
great clue, sandy, but I still don't have it duh
Thanks Douglas
O and the underworld
favorite movie, though
he goes in to get his beloved back, and he is allowed to, provided he does NOT look back. Of course, he looks back.
I love that movie; know all the dialogue even though it's in Portuguese
And, Ssprite, did you ever see the film "Black Orpheus"? Set in Rio, beautiful people, and beautiful music.
no I didn't! Thanks, will make sure I do.
Or that musical Annie, about the orphan
back soon
bye sandy, will email you soon
that's the movie, Christine!
it even still makes me dance when I hear the soundtrack!
Gets in your head, and stays there all day.
Only piece I could play (albeit badly) on the guitar.
I'll bet I've seen it a dozen times
my son can play all the themes and I can dance to them (not in fron tof him LOL) like that little girl at the end
It was one of few films I saw with my husband.
yay, half, now I can go make lunch!
enjoy lunch, rubyfoo
Mmm, I'm nearly at half too. Then I can go have a smoke, then make some pancakes with caramelized bananas for dessert!
ty sprite. Is it hot there?
did he enjoy it too, Christine?
good grief samnz, don't make me drool all over the keyboard please.
no, we have rain, rain, rain and even some rain.
He enjoyed the guitar music, the film didn't do much for him - except for Dawn Rae Cong.
Chong.
I only have 2 words from the c and the 4th column e. I have 3 words from all the other tiles, except the southern e, of course
will try and hire the DVD.
good job, Douglas!
She's in the grid, you know
I have 16 for the C, but only 2 for your E as well
Who??
silly enough, she is not valid
im back
did you mention rain? hahah We need some but I think they're predicting storms which will wreck my lovely roses and nascent tomatoes!
Rae Dawn Chong, that's who
Douglas and samnz, there are 3 resounding words
Is she in Black Orpheus? I think she's too young
yup, lots of strong winds too. And quite a thunderstorm 2 days ago. Needless to say, I am sooo ready for summer.
Ooops, I think I transposed her first names.
Oh ty sprite, I only had two of them
She was in the film. She's the daughter of the Cheeech & Chong comedian.
Haha awesome
did you see Tin Cup with Chong (or was it Cheech?)
78, over half way, pancakes time. (Sorry again sprite but mmmm pancakes)
want those caramelized bananas! do you flambe them with grand marnier and butter?
and a little orange juice? pancakes suzette hahah
Handing bananas to monkeys for finding ce4
mushroom?
grand marnier?
I use it instead of cointreau
more orange-y
*poof*
grand marnier is a liquer Sam
Mmm orange. All I have is orange juice. Not even a fresh orange here to use the zest of
orange juice butter and sugar
i love crepe suzettes
sandy, email sent :)
Before you go, samnz, how many words do you have for the 4th column e?
the yiddish rascal is here again ga5.20
I have 4, Douglas, can I help?
indeed lyn, with the unexpected last vowel.
I have ec4/6 and er4/4
extend the ec, it gives two more words.
Ooh, ooh, never mind, sprite
lol, pulling a peri on me?
A Pink Floyd composition
:)
I am now officially at mnbt3, where I have grayed all tiles with 3 words or less, and I have exactly 3 words for each tile (man, this is stupid)
stupid, but fun, Douglas. Gratz on the mnbt3
replied Sprite
the madagascar ta6 babblet :)
TY
A Babbler in the grid! Where's justafreep?
hehehe you are right
and fireflies for me. Thanks all, for the wonderful company. When I count my blessings, you are among them.
Congrats Sprite! Have a good day
bye sprite
While I have only 5 tiles left with 3 words, my head is starting to hurt...maybe this wasn't such a hot idea after all
Good morning all
still here Doug
good morning Babblers
Hi, N ono - you're in the grid today!

hi nan hi rub
I just got my husband to excise a noxious form of wild rose that was taking over a lovely {"antique" one. What a production, getting him to help!
crying always helps ruby
why ??
it is barely worth the effort, but a storm is coming, maybe, and I needed to do some weeding etc before it hits
byez all i might try the next puzzle
Hello all! re 8/50, anyone? Stuck
I wish we were going to have a storm, only endless sunny days predicted here
bye n0b
bye nob
the roses and peonies are still beautiful, but a rainstorm will probably take them all down
hi Jay

ours are usually in May, but are late this year. They're my favorites, but truly ephemeral! And there are 3 dinner-plate-size white ones in another part of the garden
Nono--what is first letter after re?
it's a vowel Jay
peonies here are just now in bloom. They are lovely
think of the song "little sir **** How do you do? hello! hello!
and I cut some for the table as many were knocked down by the last rain
LOL I hope you know that song
??? sandy, that is outside my experience!
Of course I do not!
LOL its an old childhood song
that's what happens when childhoods are spent on opposite sides of the world!
jay, when you yell into a cave you get an ****
it yells back
Oh dear lord. Of COURSE. Thanks Sandy
And done!
what a lovely, rich clue, sandy, I got many words from it. ty ty
too bad you can't hear me sing that song
congrats, jayk!
Happy babbling everyone, I need to get a shower and get moving
put your version on youtube, you might get a recording contract! lol
bye bye no no
Ruby, I have no doubt but it wouldn't be fair to others who are really wanting to get into 'the business'
bye nan
and if I did such a thing, people would throw their computers in the trash!
you can put pics up of your flowers
I'll try, but haven't even been able to change my icon without help. Sallycat tried to help me (again!) but I just can't seem to do it. My DIL did it in a snap, but she went back to the US. I wanted to put the peonies up for you, Sandy! I have a great pic from last spring
I cant change my icon at the moment , i have a new computor which is not quite doing what i want but we can live in hope
i will look forward to it or you can email it to me
are you adept? I'm hopeless except for writing letters
Im good with emails but I cant attatch things with this computor yet but i can open them
sandy, I just put my e-mail in my profile for you. Send me a note and then I'll take it out. Then I can send you some photos, if you like.
are you still there?
back later
good morning everyone;)

NB, you're not the only one. i don't like it either.
morning everyone!
lol,im back,i never even read the comments,just was suitibaly impressed at the collection
i hear it stunts your growth. i figure i'm short enough!! :)
howdy everyone
hey crossy!
oh my gosh, Little, really? In that case I'm glad I don't like it - I'm short enough too! Maybe I should forcefeed some to Mr-fourteen-inches-taller-than-me...
mornin', Crossy :)
lol! my hubby is about that much taller than me!!
im 5 ft 11,mrs is 5 ft 1 inch
i'm 4'10"...hubby 6'2"
I'm about 5'4", Leo is 6'6"...at least it makes him easy to spot in a crowd...
lol your just a tiny thang ;))
very true!
hence the name "littlebit" :)
lol,faster to toss you under our arms and carry you in a mall or store;))
I was going to say - you really are a little bit, aren't you? :)
LOL! i get through crowds a lot faster than my tall friends!
HAWKS WIN
lil monkey says i'm a little bit of nothing!
gm kids
...because they can fly, so it doesn't matter how tall they are?
morning jean
no work will get done in Chicago today
howdy jean
hi crossy
helo
hey herin!!
howdy herin
LITTLE> Hi crossu and NB and Esprite and anand
ok so no one cares Chicago won the Stanley Cup for the first time in almost 50 years
jeeeeeeez
you do! and i'm happy for you!
means nothing to me; I don't even follow sport in this country...I hear there's a world cup soon..
I am too busy trying to work out this grid and stay awae
OK and I'm pregnant
and Spongebob Squarepants is the father
woohoo!!
Cool
so? i wonder what he'll look like?
:)
it could be a she you know
ok off to work
true
catch ya later
*yawn* mornin babblers!
ooh, I get to see my sort-of-niece today!
mornin eva
(((huggles NB))) ((gently huggles niece))
that will be nice NB
(((Eva))) she is soooo adorable I just want to steal her. I don't think Leo's family would take too kindly to that though ;)
yaa for chicago....we have not won the cup since 1967...:(
maybe you can just borrow her for an afternoon. ;)
Chicago!!! That was one of the neatest goals I saw this year. I didn't think it went in, even as half the time piled on the ice.. **popping back out for brekkie**
if your pregnant by spongebob,what will the child look like,scrubbing pads?? lol
Couldn't risk it Eva ;) I'm already the guy that turned their son gay. I don't want to the be the guy that stole their daughter's baby as well ;) how are you, anyway?>
**team. Shoot.
doing ok. rather tired today. dear fiance had a "fun" talk about wedding stuff last night. mildly exhausting...
Good morning ... so far this grid seems much more user friendly than yesterdays.
howdy merk
lol re: weddings.all i want to know about a wedding is the 20 minute warning so i can just jump into the tux and go lol
There I go again
lol Eva! Just remember what you're getting out of it ;)
well, we were talking about money. i think he might have *just* had the epiphany that wedding require spending some, and we dont have an unlimited supply.
is this grid hard?
it's fairly easy herin
seems to be a hazard of falling in love, Eva. I've been broke since I MET Leo...
Eva have you looked at the idea of hiring a school orchastra?
yes. its just slightly annoying when he is just realizing (and thus somewhat lecturing me) facts i knew months ago. about how we need to start making our lunches and not eat out and save up some money...yadayadayada... yknow, things i said MONTHS ago.
no, herin. we already have our music taken care of. :)
Brill
I am enjoying the best $70 ever spent tonight
what did you buy, herin?
i tried to remain calm. we butted heads a few times during the conversation, but in the end, we finally made it onto the same page. *whew*
wow, I'm terrible. My mind immediately thought "drugs!" when I read that...
well, with 39 woeds left i'm going to go start my day. have some running around to get done. have a great day all.
bye bit
good for you, Eva :) lots of deep breaths and counting silently to 10...;)
LOTS of tongue-biting on my part...heh
Not drugs. Better. Peace and quiet.
Himself bought new head phones. Soooooooo quiet
the girt that keeps on giving. :)
gift*
Damn skippy
anyone have a clue for the second co 5/16?
just use a different final vowel, annie
I only have the dance, Annie
thanks, varina...now why didnt I think of that?
thanks anyway, NB
It is great here. I have my tv a cat that is in a pissy and silency
I was just so tickled that it was a real word ;)
oh well, off to my twice-weekly meeting that will hopefully be done in under 15 minutes. :) back soon!

Hi Une!

my pleasure, mom -- no biggie!
we get people up from the states all the time for weddings
Annie, I have a book recommendation for you: The Forgery of Venus by Michael Gruber . . . fascinating
NB, we will give you the wedding to die for. I'll make the cake
sigh, . . . crossy, what fun
Good morning, people of planet Earth.
I'll do the flowers!
good morning Judi
Judi! Isn't it your son who's at Bonnaroo?
I wish you all would have told me of your many talents, would have saved me a boatload of money! lol
is it not legal in the states, Crossy?
Not me, Une. I have no children (that I know of).
{{Sea}} hello
Une, Thanks...just wrote the title down...will look for it or reserve it.
(got it from my library)
very few of them i think...though you can marry your first cousin in most of them lol
crossy! LOL
Hi Mom
off to feed pups and grab a cuppa joe
congrats on the upcoming nuptials!!
bye bye Une
Hey, in Utah you could marry several of your cousins if you wanted to.
thank you Sea

lol Judi
lol Judi
Reading back in chog... Congrats to your son and his fiance, Mom!
thank you Judi
well there's an interesting spin of the moral compass...;)
she is a delightful young lady
Opps I keep drifting
go to bed silly or you will pass out on the keyboard and wake up with the home row tatooed on yer forehead lol
*spritzes Evian in Herin's face* Awake!
ep
yay -- meeting done!
lol Judi!
ep 4/6 annie= amazing,ginormous,a must see
*holds tight to NB* no! no one can give him away! i wanna KEEP him!
Cross watching ER
crossy, had that ep 4/6 (thanks)---was trying to figure out pe 4/7 (finally got it) cant type
Just popped in to look at the grid. Cant stay. I hope it is better than yesterdays!
I got 4 8's all by my lonesome and cant get 4's
LOL!! I hope you realize Eva that if everything falls through, you WILL find me outside your door. Just keep me as a pet or something. I can sleep at the foot of your bed and chase squirrels, no problem!
all those little un-word babblets can make it tough indeed
and there are actually 8,s in this thing??!!
ooh, dont tempt me to wreck your relationship! :P
I have 10 minutes left to babble and then a day full of errands
O i got taken out for tea tonight and a massage
sounds lovely Herin
Lucky Herin!
I needed it after exam week from hell
Oh, that's right. Did you pass all of your exams?
lol,we have of all things a sushi and martini house.i have been wanting to give it a try lol
if he wakes me up by singing "My Japanese Boy" one more time, Eva, he'll have wrecked it on his own ;) only he substitutes 'Japanese' for 'Korean'. Well, I never said I was with him for his genius..
I hope so.
I had about 15 hours of hand writing today
Egad! People actually still write by hand? This is the 21st Century after all.
i use the office program whenever i can now instead of writing
hell ,i have a speech to type program,so i do not even need the keyboard! lol
really, Crossy? Oooh, that's so cool!
I miss getting letters in the mail. Emails are so impersonal.
We have to write in exams
oh, thats sweet. ;)
O shoot. No I meant this week. I had 15 hours of exam time
I had 2.5 hours today and wrote pure crap
i have some nerve issues in the fingers,so its like writing with a hand full of pins and needles,to embrace the technology
After a week of exams, your brain must be fried.
poor herin;((
Crossy in your case the school would allow you to be in a seperate room and have a person you could scribe to.
ohh,i have never had a scribe;))
sounds like fun:))
time to scoot. {{Hugs}} to all of you.
These days they cater for all students.
I have a numb finger.
O Results are up
It's not so sweet at 6 in the morning, Eva ;)
I do appreciate all the good wishes, thank you so very much
bye Mom
then i could just dictate it all on tape and mail it in lol
bye bye Sea
SQUEEEEEEEELLLLLLL
I think she passed.
yaa for herin!!
i think so as well
ooh I missed Mom leaving! Oops. Take care, Mom! :)
lol! Somebody get the champagne!
I got a HD for Conveyencying
either that or she found a scorpion in her oatmeal
HD?
High Distinction
i used to give dear fiance a kiss goodbye when i left every morning (around 6:30 or earlier). nowadays, i just whisper "i love you" from the door and hope it made its way into his dreams. ;)
HD? High Distinction?
Awesome!
daughter told me about a crazy incident this morning, her and fiance were driving down the road and saw things scattered, she said whats that?, fiance said trash, then they saw a potato chip delivery truck with the driver walking around and blood gushing from his forehead
yes
Yoiks, SeaSpray. What did he hit?
awww Eva, that's so cute! If Leo were here I'd be glaring at him ;)
turns out a sofa flew off of a truck going the other way and went throught his windshield!
ouch
Sod I was 2 points off A distinction
scarey stuff!
bye ((Mom)) sorry I was not at puter before...thanks for the great news
Bizarre! Hope he's okay. There's an original excuse to get out of work: "Can't make it in. I got hit by a so4."
hah, the change really only occurred because he complained about me waking him so early in the morning. i resisted for a while, but finally relented. gotta say, though, i miss my morning fiance-half-awake smooch!
Sea that is bad
Oh my, hope he is okay, sea
lol Judi, guess i am in the PB
she is a nurse, fiance a cop, so they took care of him
well,he has the chips,the couch,just needs some dip and beer:)..poor guy,hope he is ok
she said the so4 was obliterated
Did the owner of the so4 come back to the scene?
nice combo,a nurse and a cop..ready for anything
That is good Sea, groan Crossie
aw, but who wouldn't want to be woken up for a kiss goodbye? I think that's so sweet..
NB -- someone who gets to sleep in another 2 1/2 hours. ;)
no, the owner of the so4 didn't stop
Nancy I get that every day and a hug
LOL! I'm the opposite - if I get to sleep in I love to be woken up, because then I get to go back to sleep again!
You get what I get, Herin? You get a freakishly tall and adorably earnest boy singing 80s one-hit-wonders to you in the early hours? ;)
lol, not me.the older you get the harder it is to get back to sleep,if you wake me up even after 4 hours,thats it.im up for the day
oh, you love it, NB. ;)
Not the cute tall one that sings but I get a shortish bearded man giving me a hug and kiss in the am if I am sleeping in and a Hug and a kiss after dinner
But Nancy stop it you are too cute
I wake my hubby up by siccing the dog on him. She shnuffles his face and slips him the tongue!
LOL Judi!! Awesome ;) And Eva...yeah, alright ;)
Judi we get cat paw up nose
Yes, Herin. That happens sometimes. Only with my cat, it's a paw on the eyelid - or, if he's hungry, he will pitty pat my bum until I wake up.
Ok I get 9 HD's and still no awards and only 2 passes wtf is with my school
that's too cute, Judi...if Lola wants me to get up she either yowls, or settles herself on the pillow next to me and staaaares
Lola being our cat...I hasten to add.
Too funny, NB. My sister had a cat named Lola.
What colour is Lola?
she's our little black and white cutie. and lol, Judi, ours was named for the song..
awww. DAMN it snap I was just about to ask that.
My Sister's cat was named after Lola Falana - black, sleek and sexy.
good choice, Judi! One gorgeous woman
Lola lived to be about 17 years old.
*sings to self*
Lola, lo-lo-lo-lo-lola!
cherry Cola. mmmm
Our Lola is quite young, but we're not exactly sure when she was born. When Leo found her she was small enough to fit in his hand!!
Hi e1!
Hiya, Beach!
mmmm.....rooibos chai tea with a touch of matte vana. :)
HI Beach

I always forget 4 ltr words too

*carthweels* Fireworks!
congrats, judi!!
There are a few of us. It's not too busy these days.
not surprising, eh, crossy?
yaa for judi
just thinking that crossy
hey, ata!
hi Une!
in to hopefully open on this fall strider;))
im
that re 7 = to have selected again
Cool, Crossy. Are you going to specialize in any type of books?
crosshair - where are you located? I'm in NH where it is a rainy day today
vintage hardcovers and art supplies
thanks strider thats all the r's done
im in ontario and it is also rainy today
art supplies?!
13 to go
Cool.
yw sandra. I find art books sell pretty well too.
yup,wife is a bit of an artist
And cold, Crossy!
Good Morning Everybody. How are you all today? (I've already dived into the grid; NBT in 19 words! :-)
im also going to offer consignment space for local artists to show their wares
just remember you have to give nice big discounts on art supplies cos all the bigger online retailers do!
Hiya, Nef.
lol i will remember ata
I do consignments of books. That works well. Stock does not move as quickly as with big retailers tho.
Best of luck on the opening, Crossy. Make a bajillion dollars. Build a house of bacon.
bacon house! yay!
lol,if i can pay all the bills and have a few dollars in my pocket,ill be happy
I'm off to do some real work now. Ta ta until tomorrow. *POOF*
crossy - good luck. I love what I'm doing
hi Judi
its an actual bricks and mortar store though.i do not really want to do it online at this time
Crossy, that sounds interesting. I hope it goes well for you
thats my aim strider,if you love what you do,you will never work a day in your life;))
ill keep you all up to date as things come together
make sure you see hot press watercolour blocks :P All artists want them and a lot of shops don't bother to get them, just cold press
I started with online only and now I have bricks and mortar too. Not a lot of walk-ins. If I can help, I'd be glad to.
ty strider,im sure ill tap your wisdom from time to time
Hi all - I sell on Biblio right now, but have been thinking about doing a web site. Strider - do you find you get a lot of hits on yours?
howdy peabody
I put pics on the web site so I can refer people there. Not too many hits. I use paypal as my checkout. I like Biblio a lot
Hi crossy
see? everyone is doing books:))
The best part is saving books that would otherwise get thrown away. Plus books I buy to read I can now sell too.
I should do, I've got so many I need to get rid of
I like Biblio too - it's been the best experience of selling on line that I have had. It's been slow the past 2 months.
I think it would be nice if all the people here that have various online businesses would mention them in their profiles. It would be great to "know" that if I wanted to order something, I *know* that businessperson.
Good idea Nef.
im doing a bot of an angle with mine though.hardcovers only.i believe as e-books gain in popularity,the softcover /throwaway type of book will diminish,while hardcovers will become a rare treat, a nice present for someone who has a fav e-book and wants a hard copy for presentation...just my long range thoughts
great idea nef!!
You're right Nef, I just went in and looked at Strider's and am impressed! I'd rather buy from someone here than someone I don't know.
thanks. :-)
thanks for looking peabody - we also do discounts
I guess I missed your link, Strider. Could you please list it again?
strider can you post that url once more please?
snap
vintagebookworm.com. I'll put it in my profile too.
thanks
I have over 30,000 books and I have read a lot of good books from the 20s and 30s that I would never have seen. See word of mouth is the best advertising - already two people going in to look!
that
that's a lot of books
strider,do you haVe any novels done by arkham house publishers,the older stuff pre- 1960
It sure is, I have a 3 story building that my Great Great Grandfather started his fishing business in and the shelves are full! Not to mention ones that are in boxes at my house.
crossy - no arkham house. I'd love to have them tho.
clue for the pe6.21?
and hi everyone!
i want a nice copy of dark carival by ray bradbury...the single copy i have foung was about 1200 dollars
and only so so condition as well
I used to work with a guy who was a rare book collector. I have a complete set of 8 volumes of Shakespeare from the late 1800's and the covers are deteriorated leather. The kids brought them home from the rash in the alley when they were about 5 and 8 years old; *someday* I hope to have them re-bound.
pe 6-21 french father is not off but?
Binders are costly
very nice nef,there are some really good binding services out there now
Anyway, my old co-worker couldn't find this set anywhere in his on-line sites. the pictures are of famous actors of the times dressed in high-Victorian costumes; it's really a cool find.
but like striders says,be prepared to pay up
ty sandra
if any of you ever find any nice art nouveau art instruction manuals / studio publications, let me know!
any clue for no 6-27 please
yeah. I haven't found any that I can afford (kids are now 28 and 31). I've thought of taking classes and hoping to connect with some serious binders that way
hi lbd and sandra
or any old Elinor Brent-Dyer books!
rule of thumb with rare book binding is to get the best you can afford
no6.27 like skim milk, without the good stuff.
and keep the recipt with the book;))
keep the receipt with the book? why crossy?
for future provenance
nm found it
thanks lbd FIREWORKS
any clue before i go and cook the dinner
whoooo hooooo Sandra!
I know that these should have some good binders, that's why I haven't done this (expensive) project yet.
Nice chatting. Have to ge catalog some books. Take care all.
YAY sandra! WTG!!!
yaa for sandra!!
tc strider
Yeah Sandra = See ya Strider
pyros! wheee!
any clues??? this is my final offer!!!!!
hi nef, sorry, no4 was in the grid.
YAY, lbd!!! WTG!!!!
strider has a nice store,but it would be nice to have the author listed along with the titles
how's DH doing, nef?
Bye all
tc sandra
okay, crossy. I need some info here. *IF* I can ever afford to have new bindings on these 8 books; I shold keep the receipt in the books so that I can prove I did it and the cost of it?
bye sandra
yes,because it creates provenance,and will increase the value on them later on(for your great grand kids) most likely
DH is right now waiting for the Speech Therapist to come (at 10AM, he said!) and has OT assessment at 1PM. I guess (from what I was told, anyway by both his Aunt and himself) that the PT had made an impression with him not to be stupid and try to do things he shouldn't
a little note on when and where they were originally found is also nice
good for the PT!! it's hard to get that information through to the patient, especially when you're related!
Crossy, I should write that they were found by the kids, in the trash, down the alley back in the '80's? ;-)
lol,well,thats not the most romantic find lol
im sure you can spice it up
lbd, she told him that with 14 falls in 1 month he was one of the lucky few without a broken bone and that any breaks would put him in hosp. and rehab for months. She got his attention all right!
one man's trash is another's treasure, and you got a miraculous find!
I'd like to do another search on them sometime; when I have the time to do it!
for example,if you find a book in an old toilet in a basement of a demolished house you can say"the tome was recently unearthed in a forgotten underground chamber hidden in a old victorian manor" lol
LOL!
When my kids brought them home, they were so upset that someone threw BOOKS out! I taught them at a young age that books are sacred!
i actually have EVERY book i have ever bought since the age of 14 lol
many are now held together with elastic band lol
even though the glue and binding are gone,i just cannot throw them away
I hope you are only talking about hard covers, crossy (visualizing basement, porches and rooms stacked floor to ceilings, like a hoarder's house)
about 100 softcovers are in serious condition;((
6 book shelves@ 1-200 each so not quite hoarding lol
the best novels eventually get replaced by hard covers
okay. Maybe (if they are on the outside walls of the house) they serve as added insulation?
now you are talking!!
Hello, both of you :) this is starting to sound like my CD collection..
thats why the book store,you can have a crazy amount of books to read and not actually be hoarding!! lol
hi NB. How are you today?
hello all, I am congested and a little hoarse today :(
you sound fine to me peri:)))
hi peri. (heating up the teapot to fix some hot honeylemon tea for you now)
everyone knows the only reason we open book stores is to have a unending supply of reading material lol
I'm well thanks, Nef :) my adorable almost-niece just left so I'm a little bereft at the moment ;) how are you?
haha crossy
ty Nef
NB what is an almost niece?
reading some dale carnegie now,book is just as relevant now as when it was printed in 1936
my almost niece is Leo's actual niece ;) and she's SO cute.
Has anyone here read any books by Christopher Priest?
name is not familliar im afraid
Who would you say your favourite author was? General question to everybody - I need something new to read. My favourite is Angela Carter, personally.
check him out, crossy, I think you'd like
isaac azimov
if i had to choose just one
Julian May ,Tolkien, George RR Martin, Chris Priest now too
Agatha Christie
oh crossy likes sci fi
favorite authors in no particular order: Eliz. Berg, Ann Tyler, Jodi Picoult, Joy Fielding, JOhn Kellerman and James Patterson
I switch around - right now I am on a James Patterson kick
i like everything mnh,steven r donaldson,steven king,terry brooks,ray bradbury,arthur c clark,tom goodwin,david grahm..and on and on
Katherine Kurtz, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Evelyn Waugh, Elizabeth Peters ...
ted klien,cpt marryat,samual clemmons
'Nights at the Circus' might be the best and most confusing book ever written, in my opinion.
Ohhh, hello Mom! I heard you're looking towards a name change?
try reading sybill
I wonder if Katherine Kurtz will ever write another Deryni novel
I am - may take place this weekend
she wrote 2 recently, steve. they were crap
dean r koontz,tolkien,august dearlth,jules verne,h.p lovecraf...and on and on
I love dean koont
I think I had all his books - oops missed the z
china mieville. utterly love china mieville
koontz is like a readers digest version of stephen king lol
The first one I read was watchers and was hooked from then on
but he is good as well
i have about 15 of his on the shelves
the only ones I wasnt crazy about was Odd Thomas but I have the 3 anyway
neil gaiman. alan moore ...
Kim Stanly Robinson
heard a interesting quote fro steven king.."i am a literary version of a big mac and large fries"
Iain Banks
Wonderful! I just sent away the paperwork for my own name-change...casting away the Korean name with everything else moribund.
ohhh, Steve, I loved The Wasp Factory...crazy book..
Im not crazy about Steven King anymore - loved him way back when but after IT - the stuff out there - I did like Duma Key though
max haines,agatha, sir arthur connan dopye,poe....
I loved "IT". Only book that's ever really kept me awake at night...it scared me that much!
iain m banks
(((snoggles NB)))
well NB - changing your real name is quite different than changing a game name. We are still going to call you NB right
his best short story collection bar none is "skeleton crew"
Welcome back, Eva!! :)
yes atalante iain m banks
Im not into short stories but did read the the sunset one - cant remember the name
quitters inc,the ledge and last rung on the ladder
reading house of the sun now
LOL Mom...oh yes. I don't think anyone around here really calls me Youngbae...
4 seconds to midnight i think
yes, but I don't really like his IB books, just his sci-fi ones under IMB
ditto
sorry, off on a phone call there for a bit. NB, doing a Real name change is hard. (and it may be hurtful to your father too)
oooh book talk! so many to read, so little money to afford them! lol (and i dont like library books)
Neal Asher is great. Richard Morgan.
I have 15 on my coffee table yet to read
lol ibd,im in the process of buying 4000 hardcover books for my future store
you don't like library books, lbd? It's the best way to find the books you really love
Just finished Galileo Dreams what a weird book
the last library book i borrowed was written in by some rude person. It made me so mad, i swore never to borrow from a library again...at least not leisure reading.
all babblers will get discounts
I doubt he'll ever find out, Nef....it's not like he's just dying to get in contact with me. Obviously, my surname is staying the same in case my family ever do want to track me down, but I'm just taking the English name that they gave me when we moved here.
just finished Inverted World by Chris Priest. Just *amazing*
yay, crossy! where do we sign up? :-)
i was reading weaveworld last week.very good book indeed
I work at borders books, i get to see all my favorite authors newest releases, and pick out new authors as they cross my path.
not yet nef lol
weaveworld is great! you should read imajica too!
i think i shall ata,ty for the reccomendation
sounds like a dram job, lbd.
and i found out my 1987 edition is a first edtition copy
NB, then that isn't as much of a change as I'd imagined. I've had some clients who were tied up in paperwork and legal stuff for months after surname changes, though
only worth 20 dollars but in 150 years ,ill be rich!!
oh no, Nef :) nothing dramatic. just shedding something I don't really need, I suppose ;)
dream job only when the bosses leave me alone! lol
LOL Crossy!
must go be diligent with the laundry. bbl
hello everyone. i'm reading joyce carol oates for the first time, but i'm finding it very slow
its about time for another Ken Follett novel
welll that killed the coneversation dead
do you mean its time he wrote another one, steve, or its time to read one?
I'm not too big a fan of plain old fiction, but I enjoy biographies and autobiographies and I do like Sci-fi in the winter and mysteries in the summer. I can't figure out why I like the different types of fiction in the different seasons, though.
guernsey, you didn't kill chat; I was IN the grid and just looked up
that's good
I'm not sure how I'd classify Angela Carter...there needs to be a new genre. "Whimsy" ;)
i range around all the genres in my reading. haven't read Angela Carter for years. Whimsy would probably cover it
I mostly read sci-fi/fantasy
which authors do you like, asl?
I just love her...the way she writes is just magical.
right now I am re-reading the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind
I also love Christopher Stasheff, Robert Jordan, Mercedes Lackey, Anne McCaffrey (sp?)
i have trouble getting in to fantasy. i think i prefer the more sciency science fiction
I am just reading a book that I am really hooked on. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. It is about vampires!!! But I would recommend it
I have a large library of books
I used to read Stephen King... but that was a long time ago
hello, help with an words pls
i've far too many for the amount of shelf space. it's very hard to resist buying them, but i use the library a lot too.
hi, per
I also enjoy mysteries... my favorite mystery authors are Dick Francis and Elizabeth Peters
I'm on the last Steig Larson book, "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest"
man. sometimes talking to my lovely mother on the phone is like talking to a wall. :P
We have 8 bookcases... full.
is it the accent, Eva? ;)
i've enjoyed both those authors too
I always feel you could cut 150 pages out of Elizabeth George and they would still make sense!!
Eva... I know exactly what you mean
yes, NB. i have always thought of walls as being very british. ;)
lo6 - to find something
i was just telling her how i think we will have the rehearsal somewhere other than the venue because they will charge us. i dont see the point of paying to have it there when we can rehearse anywhere for free. somehow, in all that, she heard that i wasnt going to have a rehearsal at all.
Eva... your wedding? Or one of your kids?
wedding. :)
has anyone got en5 please
my daughter is getting married in September
en5 in school
october for us. :)
haha! Eva's too young to have children of marriage age :) I must say though, based on all you've said about planning your wedding...if I ever get married...I'm SO eloping ;)
ty dcseain

Ken follett needs to write another book Guernsey

hello momn
hello ruby
missed you all while away for a couple of days - babble withdrawal is never pleasant
I need my daily fix!
daily fix a must .. along with coffee while I play
coffee first, but now it's after dinner
only in the AM or I would never sleep!
hi Mom ..welcome back
Hi and thanks Boo
clue for na 5 please
dont have it Boo - not that far down list yet
I am so tired and don't know what to do to pep up!
it's the last 3 episodes of Desperate Housewives and I'll have to stand up to watch to keep from nodding off.....
maybe I'll do the night time coffee after all, lol
just record them and you can watch them any time
I don't know how *blushing*
bye everybody, coffee now, see you tomorrow
((momn))
good night (((Ruby)))
bye ruby
Boo did you ever get that na - I just got it if you need it
yes Mom
it was one of those words that is right in front of you and I didn't see it until later
clue for or 6/18
I don't understand this game..
highly decorative/fancy
or6/18: very decorative
are you new at it m9
yes
read the help at the top of the page and that should help you
I have 30 words.. average 4.5 letters 309 points.
ah... see it!
it grows on you:))
ok.. that's what i thought . it's boggle essentially
scroll to the bottom and click on licketys babble clues in the center column - it will give you the list of words and their point values
it didn't explain the stats boxes.?
direction I think are under angelsong's babble page
tile stats are how many words start with each tile in the grid. Word stats let you know how many words in this grid are x numbers long. When the boxes are greyed out, you're done with that box.
ah! cool. thank you
colt
but beware - it can become very addicting
yw. It hasn't been that long since I started here. and Momneeds is totally correct. lol
good luck.you get addicted fast
just becareful that you don't put the words in the chat
I have a lot of words to go!!
oh. oops. thank you
if you put too many words in chat instead of the add word box you may get sent to the insidious,evil,dreaded penalty box
yes cross is right but then you get set treats while in the penalty box
I dont know crossy - I find it very comfortable there - the wine is mostly chilled and always fresh coffee in the morning - lol
and the cookies
see - its totally evil
has anyone grayed out a box yet??
oh yes many
most of them
quite a few have finished already
yikes~!
not to worry mp,still 10 hours to go
people here from my different countries, time zones etc...
m9*
new games start at 1200 CST in the US, so many people have had lots of time and some are just totally fantastic at this.
aha lots of non-brits here. Can I ask you some questions from a poll I'm doing in FB? Just a quicky I promise ...
This is part of a big debate a friend and I are having about attitudes in the US vs UK ... 1) Did you know that BP isn't actually called British Petroleum any more? 2) Did you know that BP merged with Amoco a while ago? (It was then called BP Amoco) 3) What other oil companies can you name?
the stragest place was in a public phone booth ata...oh not that poll...sorry
esso,exxon,suncor,shell,royal dutch shell,ammaco,noco petroleum...
loooool
No, No, Mobil/Exon, Irving
you have secret insider knowledge!!
that big one out east....
irving oil
Iam so sick of hearing about the oil spill.. I want it over with
i did your poll. :)
Crossy - I see you are lowering the tone again, and with a new Babbler watching..... shame on you! lol
i can name 15 or so if i sent mym mind to it lol
crossy? lowering the tone? very out of character...
ty Eva! we're just being fascinated about things we all know / don't know in different countries. Pretty much everyone here would remember the BP Amoco merger.
what?? gasp!!
Actually, I want to hear more about the public phone booth episode.....
i knew they merged, but i guess i never really thought about the company changing names...
I'll second that
we do not as much as the bp name along with gulf was merged here long ago and the brands vanised from the streets
there are TEN words starting with L??
all of our amoco stations turned into BP stations.
cos you guys still have Amoco brand gas stations don't you?
texaco,white rose,kaluka,
or obviously not :D
yes there are m9
i think there are still some with the amoco name, but all the ones in my area have turned into BP. no amoco name anywhere, just BP.
no amco here.
back again, hope to finish
I only have 5....
always trust your car to the man who wears a star lol
keep looking
we have an old Texaco star
but if an amoco station suddenly turned into a bp station, wouldn't you think that amoco might have taken over by BP?
we used to have a lot of gulf stations in the 70,s
I never cared about the texaco star - I wanted the Marlboro Man
LOL!!!
no - because we have stations that change from one to another all the time
remember ata we can spoon around brand names llike ice cream
hard for me to say, since i was already a little familiar with the bp brand.
doesnt mean it was a buy out
i had a station that was a sunnys,a noco and a sunnoco all in ten years lol
Crosshair! The phone booth story.............
i would probably think the station was sold to BP if i didnt know anything else...
hmmm. why would they change if the companies didn't merge or whatever? they don't do that here!!
Irving has come in big over the last several years and taken over many stations - they didnt buy out the brand just the property
hmm clue for pe 7 please
sometimes gas stations get bought + sold. depending if its a franchise or whatever...
oh yes, I suppose they do play around more with service stations don't they
we "buy" brand names and when that happens we get the station retrofitted then we have to commit to that fuel for a specified time
pe7 - pe4/5 + years
and are gas stations the only way you'd really hear about oil companies? do they ever talk about them on the news?
pe4/5 + how old you are (pl)
exactly. i would assume the property was sold, not the company.
afternoon all
we are the main dumping ground for consumer complaints as the big oil brass lock themselves in their ivory towers lol
Hi Button
ty MOM
Hi Mom
Hi Button
Hi Boo
I don't think our gas stations swap round so much. I can't remember ever seeing one that just changed, apart from company takeovers etc
I only watch a local news station - not national so dont hear about that stuff unless something huge happens like this spill in the gulf
Can someone help me with the er4 please
it is a tight go here ata,we a fighting and clawing to survive being swallowed up by the majours so we often swap brands every 5 years or so
er 4 - sounds like the short guy on sesame street - one less vowel
you know er** and burt
I don't watch sesame street
I think we just don't have the local markets, most of our gas stations are owned by the majors anyway!
what does er stand for?
got it, thanks Mom....fireworks
the first two letters of the word M9
erno
here,independats are down to 3% of the market share,give or take
hooray for Button
I don't get it
thanks, Mom...sometimes things are right in front of you and you can't see them.
oops brb
er4/4 means there is a word starting with ER that is 4 letters long and worth 4 points
how do you know that you need that?
look at lickety's Babble clues - scroll down below the tiles and middle collumn
its our cheat sheet for when we cant find anything more - it is usually there daily - sometimes not
does anyone have pe6/21 please
what a major will do is sell gas at margin for 6 months or so the break the back of a independant , because they have 450 other stations and just absorb it.once the independant is gone they revert to regular magins
damn typos
back. does anyone still have Arco stations?
Mom - pe 6/21 as *** usual, and another word for a period of time
arco Gas stations? I think there are a few here in Oregon
I thought so, mel, I'm sure I remember seeing some
speaking of fuel stations,i must get to mine,tc all and happy babbling
wow. thanks Soodle
arco lefth market here 30 years ago - they all became Shells
(i can,t wait till the book store is running and can walk away fro gas stations forever!!)
your very welcome :)
poof
Arco's now part of BP
Chevron is pulling out of the market here for the 2nd time in 17 years, after reentering the market 2 years ago
crossy, are you going to work or own a bookstore?
own
Ooh that is wonderful..I wish I could work there
yeah, it's weird seeing the ARCO star on the BP pumps with the Amoco Ultimate gas
ok gotta fly..poink!!

thank you got it
Whoopie Bear

lol see you tonight, stay dry!
Now I will go back to work myself. Bye
I missed you this morning, I was probably outside weeding (ugh) and transplanting
He's taking a nap now. Starting to learn he gets tired and needs to rest; but it's a slow learning curve at times
That's hard for someone to concede to if they have been very active
What are you transplanting? I have a strawberry patch I need to transplant else where myself (if the wet weather lets up enough)
brb to help clue
Portulaca (or mexican roses), very hardy and pretty
it rained here yesterday so today was perfect for easy weeding
I don't think I've ever heard of them.
another box down!
nice border plants and very colorful, you can't kill them and they tolerate heat well
OH! It's a moss rose; that's what we call them here!
I put them all along my sidewalk, is very pretty...moss rose, ok...everyone calls them something different I guess
Portulaca - we call that Moss Roses here in Colorado - pretty hardy and great for container gardens or ground cover!
this is good weeding weather; I took some stuff out to the compost pile earlier and pulled some weeds as I went out.
Ok, I will call them moss roses then lol
I love Portulace. Grows in really hot, dry places
nother box down!
Cad I have a bartender coming from Denver to tend bar at my daughters wedding
sounds crazy I know
go, go m9! how many words left?
69
lol
I wish they grew under trees. We have a maple tree that always looks bare under it. We're trying to grow hostas there , but even some of those don't seem to care for all of the shade there
You're doing better than me then; I have 76 left
Nef - try blue mrytle they love shade
hmmm, I though hostas did well in shade
nother box
is that a type of hosta peabody?
I think its related to ivy of some kind. It grows in the woods here - it spreads like wildfire, has a small blue or white flower and the leaves are a deep green and shiny
thanks, peabody. I didn't realize that periwinkle was a shade plant
They stay real low to the ground, even when you mow they don't get cut.
ahhh, like vinca vine then
hostas DO do well in shade, SeaSpray. It's just some of the 7 types we're tryng to grow there aren't doing well (and one small delicate type seems to be a favorite of the rabbits and squirrels!
nother box
how do you ever learn/remember all this? I couldn't keep a weed alive...
foxes love hostas too.
I have 2 hosta gardens behind my house and the slugs seem to love them, I got a head start on them this year though
Where is the wedding?
Maryland Cad, on my parents farm
hello all!
they do dc? how odd
SO is this Bartender a family friend to come all that way?
we have a weed called creeping Charley under our lilac bushes that is impossible to kill off. I told DH to stop fighting it and let it go; but he really wants to get it out of our yard. I wonder if the periwinlke is like that?
Hi stiddie
hi, Stid! :)
yeah, friend has fox den under shed, and the hostas are taking a grand toll
hi stid! Welcome to the chog!
periwinkle (vinca spp) can be very much like creeping charlie and creeping jenny
Yes cad, His mom is my friend and she brainstormed this one, he gets to visit his Dad and Mom while he is here and see lots of old friends so it will be fun
dc, there are gray fox and red fox within a mile of our house, but so far I haven't seen them in the yard yet
who's tending bar? *wonders if asking for a virgin daiquiri is out of the question (like everything but the booze) *
how's this grid?
Oh - nice!
nice grid, stid.
help with ca 5/12??
have you tried geraniums under your maple? there are some types that love shade, and you get the double bonus of nice foliage as well as pretty flowers
We get Creeping Charlie but it isn't a big problem - the big problem and darn near impossible kill is Wild Morning Glory (aka Bindweed)
good. *dives in*
a boat that you paddle, m9
ca 5/12 - a type of boar
boat not boar....
ca 5/12 a boat invented by indians
Stid I was telling Cad that I have a bartender coming from Denver to tend bar at daughters wedding (btw his brother is a news producer in Denver)
oh duh!!!
ty
thanks for the birchbark boat
Hmmm. if I could convince DH that periwinkle is a FLOWER and not a weed, it would work then! I may just try it! :-)
what fun, Sea! nice to have friends with "skillz"
do not forget the plural M9
*inches daiquiri towards Stid*
:-D in many areas, Nef, periwinkle is sold as a groundcover. It works well for some people. All of mine died... *sigh*
Oh Periwinkle is a GREAT flower!
I didn't meliae!!LOL
other ca 5/12 is a piece of music, like Pachelbel's ca5
ok, puppy dog is whining to go outside...bbl
later sea!
hey mel!
ca5/12 is also a type of church music
Have a nice walk!
have you seen that comedians rage against Palchelbel's??
I think I need one more ca..
Heyas Stiddy ((HUGS))
another is Ms. Blanchette, plural
getting LOTS of great words from the chog (keep 'em coming)
ooh! NBT!
already, Stid?!
yes, but only 20% done. can't list until halfway (personal rule)
when in doubt Stiddy on the 7 letter words add an na mans name to the end and plural for the 8's
hm. thanks mel!
Pachabel's Ca5 in D is a nightmare to perform, speaking as a violist.
I don't have such high standards, stid, or such great abilities ggg>
and a plural of how many years old you are, lol
LOL bichon! for shame! *tries to make stern mama look but fails*
it may be difficult, but it is GORGEOUS.
how old I am? *thinking*
Oneof my favorite pieces - that Pachbel
oh! LOL very naughty, mel...
dc you should watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy 7QLM
Er.. Pachelbel
I've only ever attempted it on guitar...which is FUN.
WOO-HOO! and your hints helped, mel! I have my first 8!
didn't know you were musical, nancy boy!
Played violin - it had weird bow work required...
oh yes Stid ;) had to leave my electric guitar behind when I left though - couldn't have dragged that, plus amps, AND the acoustic!
the co's are gettin' me.
bummer, Nancy Boy. Our stidkid #2 bought an electric-acoustic guitar from a friend this year, LOVES it (but still prefers my old acoustic 6 string steel)
and I had to leave the piano too...;)
we have a piano, needs tuning. But I am waiting on the tuning until after I rearrange the living room (again) I keep trying to find a way to make our house feel less small.
<trying to picture NB dragging guitar, electric guitar, and a piano down the street!>
I can envision NB huffing down the street with piano strapped to his back
*pic of Nancy Boy reclining on piano strumming the guitar while Leo pushes piano and carries amp...*
he lies! the violas pluck 3 16th notes for each quarter note the cellists play. 54 f'n times. we practiced picking up our bows for the final note. gah!
AGH. that's harsh, seain! no wonder you cringe at that one.
I love YOUR image better than mine, stid!
hello everybody
Oooh. I vote for Stid's scenario ;) and I didn't know you were musical either, Stid!
rofl Nancy Boy! only instrument I couldn't play first time was clarinet... but I am a vocalist (when I have a voice)
hey jac!
heya mama, NB, nef et al
hiya, Jac!
not liking this grid a lot
hi jaq
but stidkid#2 plays WELL on every instrument he picks up. And really "gets" the music at a deeper level than I ever could.
jacq
ooh! I just passed halfway!
jac is fine nef, i get called jake by my friends
sounds like a family talent, Stid! How many Stidkids are there? I'm sensing a von trapp family scenario ;)
lol NB
the hills are alive...
two stidkids. and now old enough to not be cute. BUT... when you join us, we'll make a family band. Tom can sing, and he's a great sound man...
i got all the c's and didn't even realise lol!!!
*does a happy dance*
go jac go!!!!!
don't you just *hate* that stid? I took clarinet lessons for 4 years; and my cousin picked it up once and could play it better than me in 20 minutes than I could after 4 years! She's phenominal: plays nearly any instrument there is
"old enough to not be cute" cracked me up!!
I don't mind it Nef, maybe it means he'll be self-supporting... ??? *wishful mama look*
got the c box~!
they stop being cute when they answer back i was told, but my grandkids are 2 and 3 and are as cute as buttons and answer back all the time
wtg M9
yaym0! Keep on keeping on and you'll be done soon!
yes, but those are GRAND kids, jac... *remembering the uncuteness of toddler tantrums*
go m go!
falcon isn't in the grid and folcan doesn't count... :-D
remember one of them lives with me lol, my morning alarm call is heyyo gwanny at ungodly hours
oh my jac! LOL that's too funny -- just when you thought your mornings might be your own???
but it's so cute
yes, I do admit to missing the tiptoeing feet coming alongside and the steady gaze fixing my face until I can't ignore it and have to open my eyes.
mornings?? lol if she wakes during the night she demands that gwanny tuck her in and last night she was on my bed at 1 am demanding a drink because mum forgot to close the gate
get a cat...that's how Lola wakes me up! Minus the voice. She's a staaaaring cat.
rofl... SO glad it's not me...
i love it, i wou8ld rather have her all day and night than her mum (my daughter) and her dad, it's like the opposite of little house on the prairie
and...
all this weekend from tomorrow morning i have the three year old all to myself to spoil
ooooh! what a great time you will have! I am happy to hear that.
we are going beach-combing and we are painting and picnics
that sounds wonderful jac
well, my appointment for this afternoon has been switched to 3:20... giving me some extra time to babble (and do housework, which I will now start since I have time after all)_
*raises hand timidly* may I be your grand-daughter too??? I'm only 10 (or so) *points to age in profile*
slog
sorry, u can beat me now
sure mama, do you like baking? we're making cakes too
oooooh. I LOVE to bake! *packs apron and rolling pin and fancy sprinkles for on top of cake*
age is just a number, it's what's inside (and how good the arthritus pills are) that counts
why would we beat you?
true enough there... I think as I get older I get younger for play. When I was a young mother I had too many worries to be fun.
want to have fun with g-kids? buy a white cake mix and after you mix it up separate it into 3 or more bowls let them color each part then make a swirl cake, ditto for the frosting, it might look like the 60's but my g-kids love making them!
Sea, you're fine!
typed a non word in the grid jac
what a great idea, mel!
and of course piles of sprinkles
i type non words all the time
oh my god...Meliae...I wanna do that!!
that sounds like fun meliae
that sounds like a great idea, thanks meliae!
they just love it! we made cupcakes like that too, was a bit harder but so much fun
g's done!
wtg M9
go m go!
right hand column all grey!

i don't know if it is "spicy"... i mean, ginger is sort of a spice and we have cake and cookies made from that
i'm happy with vanilla, to be honest LOL
okay taking a break in the hopes that a power nap will send me to the game
a ginger snaps and ale are spicy
cardamom is a spicy, but a non-piquant one
*poof*
you were, dc? on camino?
be well, jmc

ty Une, that was my last word
congrats, peri!!
tyty
now off to play scramble, red, have you taken your turn?
soon peri, i think soon.
hi again. 62 left; not doing so well with multiple interruptions
hi nef, 71 left, how is husband?
hi red. He's doing better each day; mostly in starting to understand that he does have restrictions
PT and OT have been out to the house already; I *think* that Speech therapist comes tomorrow (he doesn't remember who it is
nice to have him home with you? I'm sure.
I have 5 of the 6 H words and can't find the last one. I have ho4, ho5, ho7, ho 4, ho4. What am I missing? (I could go to lickety, but have to go get the car ina couple of minutes. By NOT going to lickety I won't get too zoned in here)
ho4/7
i only have the 3 ho 4's sorry nef! go to car!
there's two ho4's before the ho5
It's wonderful to have him home, red. However the cat had a lesson today about her tail and the wheelchair! She's now missing a bit of fur on one side of it
Thanks, brid! :-)
Oh poor kitty! I am sure kitty will steer clear from now on!
I hope so. She's steered clear of it since and she's been acting kind of miffed since her owner (my daughter) got home from work
I don't think her tail actually got under the wheel, just the fur. She let me pick her up and pet her the whole length of her tail and didn't react
brid, I *JUST* got that ho 4/7! I should shut up and work the grid I guess! :-/
lol
Nothing wrong with talking.
I just chat A LOT! ;-)
you have to make you for the rest of us. who forget to chat.
Maybe if I wasn't hogging the chog more would chat?
hmmm....probably not. After all, i rarely say two words and you've gotten me to say TONS.
i'd stay and say more, but my timer is going off. And one really should not ignore the timer. The phone, the doorbell, actual people. Sure. but not the timer. That can have serious dire consequences.
cya. gla!
YAY! BTW, you've been here longer than I have and I don't think I've ever seen you in chat before! (love your icon)
Dang! I'd typed that in the wrong box and by the time I got it in chat; she left! :-(
BBL, time to go get the car
I just have 4 boxes to go.... but my son is home from working all day moving boxes from stack to stack.. loading trucks, etc. he wants to sit here.

Better run, bye all
anyone want clues before I go and start supper?
nah, not yet, thanks
Oh I almost forgot to tell you ---- we have a new granddaughter!!!!! --- she arrived 12 days early. Now we have 7!
congrats nan!!!
The 68 and 60 are Credits. I am currently averaging High Distinctions
I'm waiting on a greatniece who is more than a week late
This is the first babe for our youngest son. I was out on the golf course when she arrived -- hubby says our son sounded so proud. Feeling a lot of empathy for mom though -- she is just a little bit of a thing and the baby weighed over 8 pounds!
WOW Nan even Dozen. Harry Babies can be 2 weeks early or late. I think they get so comfy in there that they don't want to say hello
I am just so thrilled for them -- they've been trying for over 2 years
yeah we've had ours everywhere in the range from t-10 to t+10
Awww Nan that is fantastic
Hello to all. sounds like lots of good news is here. Herinfernallady what nice accomplishments. Cybernan, lucky grandbaby to have you rooting for her.
Hi Stid
Had a chance to connect with son today and that is always a plus for me.
hi stid :) -- picked out a place to meet for our dinner yet? We are looking for a stay, park and fly hotel -- trying to get perry to make a decision -- I keep coming up with hotels and he keeps reading about them on Trip Advisor and of course there is always someone with something bad to say!
oops -- wrong stid mama -- sorry
I should learn to read!
congrats on repeated grammahood, nan
We have a couple of hotels in Olympia. One is pricer than the others but sometimes that is what has to happen for the quality. Right now all hotels are just happy to have anyone visit. You're right, Stidmama is on this more than I am but I try to help.
ty dawger -- not that I had anything to do with it!
does your son not live nearby, stidg?
We are looking for one at Seatac -- our flight leaves at 6:00 am
evening everyone! 64 words down and not one 7 or 8 letter word. I had better get busy!
(((MOM)))
MOM I DID IT
I got an 82 on my COnveyencying over all which is a HD, a 68 in Payrole and a 60 in COnsumer Protection law
{{LBD}} hello
Yes, half an hour away. But work keeps him busy--running a place rather than just working there means lots of responsibility.
hampton inns are usually nice, nan
congrats, dawger :)
excellent grads {{Herin}} so very proud of you
whoo hooo Herin! good for you!
ok -- thanks, dawger -- will suggest that!
Thought You would like
congrats Cybernan on the new grand baby

soggy, welki. getting tired of all this wet!
whoooo hooooo MIN!!
*~*~*~*~ pompom twirl for minver*~*~*~
I'll be here off & on for clues for the rest of the night
hooray for Min
bye *poof*
yeah, here too ... maybe it'll clear up for the weekend
my poor roses are so puny. they need sun!
we have wet and soggy on the way for weekend...and i am taking 14 girls camping this weekend..how much fun are we going to have?
bring lots of tarps and rope ... you'll do fine
i think you should postpone, carlee.
we cant...paperwork in...site booked an paid for
then prepare for tent city! tarps and ropes as welki mentioned
OHOH>..its my fav ro babblet
plastic bag booties ... garbage bag ponchos ... can you tell i've been there? lol
the last time i went soggy tent camping i to4 my meniscus! way too much fun! skeeters the size of whales! and a flooded campsite.
I did that plastic bag booties for the snow. Didn't work
foot into sock into plastic bag into shoe ... shoes get wet, feet stay (relatively) dry
need more traction for snow, herin
sounds like you were in manitoba, dawg!
tarps... and warm food...
nope, wisdom, montana
will you have electricity, carlee?
will you have electricity, carlee?
ohhh, i love it when i repeat myself ... almost like an re6!
no hydro
any currant bushes, carlee? lol
no currants...maybe wild raspberries but too early for that
hehehe, i'd be bringing a generator to plug in a couple of crock pots
no water?
we have water..no hydro..hydro electric...
hubz is an awesome tent camper, he can start a fire just about anywhere!
LB No I need to stay away from the cold horrid stuff
confused me too, first times i heard hydro used instead of electricity ... it's that ontario thing, when your electric is water-generated
and you heading into winter, Herin.
<-- is a firestarter extraordinaire
ahhh, hydro electricity. gotcha. an eastern canadian term.
welki, you and my hubz would be a great pair.
no more tent camping for this ol' welki anymore ... i've slept on enough rocks
does he fish?
LB we don't have snow
my idea of roughing it is a motel 6
yes, he loves to fish, he loves to be outdoors
some are pretty rough, lb ... i'd venture saying you'd be more comfy in some of the campsites
My idea of Roughing it is a 5 star hotel
campsite maybe with a plush cabin with indoor plumbing!
i luxury camp these days. i deserve it, i've earned the right ... did the backpack tent, the family tent, the tent trailer, the crappy trailer, the decent trailer and motorhome. it's like a camping ladder
Welki that is great I never thought of it like that
he says we could get a poptent camper, i say, are you nuts?
we laugh at ourselves all the time ... remembering freezing our tushies off in the two man tent, water frozen in the morning ... and now, i have a/c
lol, yup you deserve the luxery
like what, herin? the ladder concept?
we tell each other we have these luxuries not for ourselves, but for the dogs :)
rofl!
Yes
we camp all year long ... don't do much in the way of exotic travel or expensive entertainment. it's what we love ... and what gets us to the fishing holes :)
i love camping
( sorry... was trying to give idiot prrof directions to this camp to other leader...
I like to stay in heating and indoor plumbing. I am such a girl
and....this camp is...so freaking easy to get to...
as in...turn onto this road...stay on this road...45 mins later turn left into park
but she cant figure it out
oy vey
she should be the team lead of the geocache team *lol*
hahaha...yea... no actually she just rediculously tired
I've done the ladder also welki lol
hi sea!
yep, seaspray .. paid our dues, the puddles getting deeper and deeper in the tents, the "didn't you pack the porta-potty" panic, the "uh oh .. the wind just took the awning ... now i worry if i've forgotten the laptop *lol*
Hey dawgie!
ahhh, welki, you are after my heart!
speaking of awnings, we had ours taken off the motorhome last July
one mean gust of wind and gone!
insurance or out of pocket? that's an expensive breeze!
in the pop-up, we had a wind come up, bring up the awning and put a pole through the roof (of the brand new pop up)
insurance thank goodness
we had snow fall on the pop up awning and we couldn't get the door open lol
kindred spirits ... right now the gearbox on the slide-out is kaput (opened less than 20 times) ... will be a fight with winnebago
ours is sluggish at times, hold my breath each time
i am So taking a tin can for peeing in in middle of nite....I do NOt want to hike out to the washrooms in the pouring rain jsut because of a full bladder
another expensive fix .. but we've had no other big ticket problems in the two years we've had it
coffee can carlee
After eating a very yummy ta4/5 dinner I started to babble.It took me ag4/6 to finish the grid,even with my no 4/4 to this grid with no distractions, but I did so here's a story of clues. I used to want a career as a zoo keeper,but then I did not feel like cleaning out animal ca 5/16 for the rest of my life so I re 7/36 my career path. So I lo 6/21d a college that was not far from home & I en5/10ed in it.When I walked through the ga 5/14 of the campus I was so nervous because it was my first time living away from home. At first I felt all alo4/4 and I was a lo 5/10. But it did not take lo 4/6 for me to make friends.I soon discovered a lot of my pe 4/5s had the same interests I. I ch 5/14 to study education & psychology.However, I was to4/4 between majoring in either education or psychology So I ch5/14 to major in one & minor in the other. My co4/5 curriculum of studies was education,but I also had a minor in Psychology in ca 4/5 I could not get a job as a teacher.College was not ea4/6 for me.I was never an ho 5/12 student. It wasn't my fo4/14 looks that got me through college. It was endless nights of studying. I had great pr4/8s that guided me as well. As fa 4/7 would have it, I did get a job as a teacher. I am glad that I have a good job because college was not fr4/7 and I have loans to pay. Now I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and go eat some ch 4/6s & dip on the so 4/7 and watch "General Hosptial".Goodnite
a small coffee can is in my kit list
invest in a luggable-loo
luggable loo, i love it!
(unless space is an issue ... then the coffee can (i'd be bringing the jumbo one!) is the way to **go**
all it is, dawg, is a toilet seat on a five gallon bucket ... you can put a couple of hefty bags in as liners (cleaner)
they're great for fishing, ice fishing ... and you don't feel like william tell, trying to aim
hmmm, i suppose if you had access to some surplus diapers or absorbent pads, they'd be great in the bottom ... wrap and toss!
.... in the garbage (of course), she said to herself *lol*
nice one minver
See this is reason 101 I don't like camping
thanks
no..i'll use the can..and toss it out the door...
in the rain :)
herin, my summer campsite has running water, electric and sewer ... you'd be fine
we are supposed to have temps that feel like 100 all weekdn...and then summer pm storms whip up
No as there is no aircon
we have air conditioning, too, herin
i dont have air conditioning anywhere
anyway..off to bed... up early to finish laundry and pack
I just have a thing against bugs. I used to go camping it was fun
Goodbye carleekat! I will see you tomorrow in the log

Hello herinfernallady! I missed your entrance while I was writing the story. Did you finish this puzzle yet?
herin and i'll rough it in a nice roadside hotel and you all can rough it in the great outdoors.
I am off to take a shower. I'll be back later for clues.
Damn skippy LB. We can share the cable and the really comfy beds
Loves Mini
Have fun Carlee
the beds that 50 other people have slept in without the blankets being washed, LOL I will take my sleeping bag and blow up mattress, please and thank you. ~grin~
Hello meliae! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Just finished dinner and thought I would pop in and see if anyone needed any clues
Hi Melai
Meliae. That is why you go to 5 stars where all that is done.
hi meliae!
Hello all =)
I am hoping I can convince the b.f to drive me to the store
my niece works at a 5 star and they do not wash the bedspreads after every stay lol
They do here if you pay $500 a night
But I do get awesome discounts when I stay there
back when I was married there was a teeny tiny motel on the coast, owned by an older couple, they washed everything on the beds and the rooms smelled so fresh and clean, it was shabby but spotless and you could not beat their prices with a stick
i think little ma/pa places like that are more likely to be cleaner than the franchised places.
I was sad to see the last time I went by there, that there motel had been torn down and I think a Best western was built in that place
that is sad. but the competition was probably brutal for them to keep up
I think it was more repairs and they were just too old to keep it up, I just hope they got a great price for the land and are happily retired somewhere
hi

hi again. I have 47 left. I've been out on a picket line for the last 2 hours.
YAY, m9! What a way to start!
whatcha picketin', nef?
Hey Nef!! what picket line?
an5?
I was out supporting the 1 day Nurses Strike here in the Twin Cities.
an it's bad. not good
wink wink Pin
was it "successful"?
good for you nef, did a 10 hour stint today; sometimes it's a pretty thankless and frustrating job. I think that patient ratios are much needed
hmmm...working on it, m9!
We shall see. The thing is that nurses haven't told their stories of unsafe staffing and now they are
hi pini
an + not pro?
thx ;)
did that help Pini?
phpht
hi all
it did ;)
hi jmc ;)
A's done! :)
it's something in architecture apparently
so I spent last night at the hospital with my sister
A to go Pini!!
;)
you did, jmc? she ok?
you ok?
she had emergency surgery and removed her gall bladder
she doing ok now?
she is fine but it wrecked my already too tight schedule
Jilly, I think that the hospitals are trying to break the nursing unions now; so I felt compelled to go walk the line again. My daughter joined me; she was out on a picket line in 1984 when she was 2 years old with me too! :-D
middle ca5? a fish?
i did think of all the nurses in babbleland though
that's dedication, nef! :)
you go nef!!
(((jmc))) Take care of yourself
you might be in one tryfing to get a fish.
i took a couple of naps at the office today
dip dip and swing
birchbark boat, jmc
ooops. I mean Pini

that was pini's request but ty anyway
I worked OT...forgot to look at the clock
ah.. who was that actress.?
good thing i still had my camping mat from when my back was really bad
m9 ... I have to work on translating your clues...keep going...more practice! :)
the one that rode the horse in slow motion... phoebe!
I know here we are up for new contract. I suspect it will be a fight. So was it just a demonstration, or did nurses actually walk off the job?
how about Pachebells (sp?) ca*** #5?
oh no.. we're talking about Pachelbel again!LOL
oh diane Ca*** the black actress
I remember her, jmc!
the nurses walked off the jobs for 24 hours. They p[lan to go back to work tomorrow and then vote again for a Real strike
did you get your sewing done m9?
jmc, your showing ur age on that clue...lol
huh. two of the ca 5s are actresses!
teas
I got a bunch of cutting done...

I need a caftan to wear in africa and am thinking about making one because i can't find anything with sleeves
I was trying to decide whether I wanted to see the Beach Boys again...their coming near here. But it'd be like my 10th time...last was 1980

co5/16 (another fish)
yes, m9! good clue ;)
it's the ***** in D btw
Speaking of singing, we were singing protest so**s and a bunch of the younger nurses (AND my daughter too!) looked at us and someone said "why aren't they singing something everyone knows?"
I have been looking on line--anythougths about what company?
a dance line
excellent clue ;)
Nef...too funny!!
C's done!!!
en5?
(the ones singing were 55+, needless to say. The tunes were "this little light of mine; If I had a hammer, etc)
we shall we shall we shall not be moved
