gotcha, ty :)

do you see the artist?
i sthat FI that was called something we should know?
is the fi 8 a compound?

fireworks unaided!
rotsa ruck, m9
wtg grem, wow!
WOW! Gr emlinn... that's crazy!
fi8 was my last
YAY gremlin!!!
I"m more than halfway though!
finally monkeyed it after trying just about every fire- possibility
almost half - 82, woo woo
fantastic, m9 -- I'm not there yet
I take great comfort that even you monkey things from time to time, grem
phantom 11-letter word - anyone see what it might be?
ooh - found the fi 8
terrorismer??
ROFL!
slipstreams
also just saw philistine
yeah, I was cursing phonetics on that one
had tried "filistine" a long time before - ahhh
what does the fi 8 relate to?
fi8 means "an adjustable plane for cutting rabbets, grooves"
an enemy of a shepherd boy who takes up a lot of time in parliament?
doesn't relate to any other word in the grid
and it looks a lot like a word to take up a lot of time in parliament, yes
good heavens! monkeyed the fi8! was playing with the ideaq of removing public transport from a tedious harangue.
cool. got it
Okay - those 3 together did it, LOL - ty!
:-)
okay, 85 and storming so I'm off. Nice to see you all :)

I did
must be scottish!LOL
and NBT!
wtg m9!
Unlike gremlin, I did have some help for the last 20 - from lickety
not Scottish -- google the one with the diff first vowel
I'll be getting help from morewords or clues in order to finish
sp5 on father's day?
but of course, cherie!
me too prolly. not just yet though. And I don't like the layout of morewords.
are you being nasty ruru???
I prefer a2z wordfinder
i prefer itools word find
are you condoming me for my joke?
GROOOOOIiiiiin
m9, if you need a 4-letter word, in morewords you can type the first 2 letters and then -- (2 hyphens) into the box -- I like that way of finding things.
I like that too.. which is how word find works.. but then it lists it in one column...
I like the column
morewords does too.
groin?
huh. when I've looked there.. it just wrote them out like prose
yes ruru... instead of groan...
it seemed fitting.....
oh dear, ruru. I'm groin tired of this... ;)
that is so genetalia of you two
oh.. i suppose you think you deserve a standing ovulation now....
ROFL
hi all
m9, if you narrow the window of morewords it's in one column.
I'm off to do some crosswords - my brain needs some more workout - bye til tomorrow. happy babbling
hi barb
night anike
oohhhh.
very funny. m9 I was fallopian all over myself on that one
I instituted severe PUNishment for this sort of thing at fliptime when gremlin got out of hand. I think we need a PC as well as a PB. (PC = PUNishment Cell).
ah... I thought you might have womb for one more....
gremlin got out of hand?
okay seems like odd chat going on...what did I come in on????
ROFL!
we're just punning barb
ah
yes, ruru.
I've forgotten what grem came up with, but I nearly came up with my dinner
oh.. I have to read back later
that would have been very messy jilli
Hurl was one of the words YESTERDAY....
anyone found the second 9?
nope
mo9 and re9
I guess gremlin and anike did
okay got the mo9
wtg ruru
re8 and re9 a place at work or school to go when you don't feel well and plural it
hello welsh!
hi jili
hi welsh
sorry hi everyone, didn't mean to be rude just cutting in there
and thanks -- got them!
awesome clue welsh thank you
aww ty barb, wtg jili
now I feel dumb.. don't see them yet
yes.. I got them from that too!
nm
I found them
yeah ruru
I am relieved now that I found them
*flushed with pride *
here he goes again
lol wtg ruru
that's what I was thinkin'
the other 9 is a mo??? is that correct???
yep
think hand cream barb
yes barb
still a mystery to me
or eye drops!
since hand cream gets you lookin' for a 'u'
I was thinking along the lines of adding mo***ture..but no u
like noxema barb
got it! and a whole bunch of related words -- thanks!
nope stilll thinking grrrrr
would someone clue that fi8 .. I am not a carpenter
when you wet something barb you do what?
fi8 -- remove public transport from a tedious harangue
dry it up?
the opposite of that
mo9 think like if you dampen something, you mo***** it, then add 2nd vowel and consonent ending
i still want a u...and there isn't one
ruru, I hope you saw my fi8 clue
forget the u
go with another ending
yes.. but I don't get it..
barb... a paperclip is a fa********... think that kind of ending
think Congress
ruru... sounds like talking long time to hold up congress...
got it
(that's for ruru)
thank you jilli
but no bus
those are called walkers m9
yw ru :)
<bad joke on aging congressmen
that fi was ddriving me nuts
Once through Lickety and 62 left -- not very good, but the chat's been fun!
phant -- twitter
< 56 left sans lickety so far
ruru is much smarter then I am :-(
Halliluia.....I got it finally
uh.. not really jilli
wtg barb :)
just faster..lol
58 now
go jilli
yeah.. jilli goooooo
I'll be gooooing to bed soon!
anyone have a clue for the fo5?
I wouldn't want to fo*** it off on you
ty m9
rhymes with the not dry word
or.. as they say in brooklyn you gotta pay me fo***.
got it, ru, thks
can't believe I was stumped by alt spelling of the hot dog
nice to know it works both ways
me neither.. can I be frank with you?
m9, another reason I use morewords is that I have Babble Expert and it's available from the Resources button -- so is a2z
oy yoy
oh goody, I remembered the tm word
but I haven't used it yet
I mean morewords
the only tm I know are those idiots hopping around on their butts
some one is hopping on their butt????my what talent
this tm means "the interpolation of one or more words between the parts of a compound word, as be thou ware for beware. "
the transcendental meditation guys barb.. the levitate by hoopping aroudn on their butts with their legs crossed
I have no idea what you're talking about, ru!
nm jilli.. just some of my old hippie stuff

I've always had the best manual dexterity of the fam

the 60's changed the world; everyone was effected by it somehow.
I "met" Alice

I won't tell if you don't Kazz
thnx katie - what was the weather like with u yesterda?
cold and cloudy, cardigan weather I was shocked to see you talk about sunburn
Well we were quite shocked to get a burnt as we did. We left at 0623 from burton bradstock and i had my fleecy on but by 3 miles into the walk, I had to strip off. However, it did cloud over and there was quite a breeze at times but we still got burnt
right off to Chruch, see you later
s
bye Katie
good morning everyone!
hi ruby
i just got here
hello sandy! is ursh still here? I just got on, too.
how is the weather there, sandy? Here, it feels like Australia in winter!
very sunny day today - about 22 degrees celcius and tonight it will be about 4 I think- we do have rainy days but only about 5 this year so far
we will have more
dont know ursh
we have had huge amounts of rain and since yesterday, very high winds -- branches down, etc. creepy for mid-June!
we have had visitors for lunch they have just left
it never got above 13C yesterday and was much colder last night
I love that sort of weather
but today was perfect, let's face it
you need the rain, though, non?
we do for our main watersupply - out here at the farm (only a little farm) we have a water tank which is huge and is full
you are well-placed, then. Like us, with all the flooding in SE France, we have no worries as we're on a relatively steep hillside
We only live about 18mins from the cbd (would you believe) and we do not have scheme water we collect our own rainwater (goody no water rates)
you are not in danger of sliding down the hill?
that is very good; here, they charge exorbitantly for water! No excuse, because there is plenty but, like with electricity, it's a government monopoly
we pay high rates for water but as soon as we sell our other house we will pay no more
no, where our house is (see GoogleEarth, ANNECY, THEN vEYRIER DU lAC), sorry for caps! We are mid-way between mtns and lake and our plot is sloped but not as steep as some
I wrote that down and will look up later
good, you can practically see our house
as usual, first 50 words are easy!
i must look our place up too - i will let you know details of that later- I remember once we all put our postcodes on babble and looked at google earth
lol I have 51
I have to go and feed the horses now but will be back later
I have an old bag of carrots in the fridge...wish I could feed those horses!
I give them some and say they are from you - bye for now
((sandy))
good morning all how many words today please
me
168
hi sandra
thanks
half!
Good for you, rubyfoo.
that's my usual goal; anything more is gravy!
how are you BR?
Good luck with the gravy
I am dealing with some challenges. We shall see. Thanks for asking. I must leave. Tally ho.
good luck with your challenges!! See you later
Good morning babblers .... can anyone clue the first ni7 in the list
I only have one explosive ni5!
It is the ni7 before the explosive one ruby lol
and one 6
it's a little bit random for me because I don't use a list. Catch as catch can!
add 2 vowles to the end of the preceding 5/10
morning all, and happy birthday Ata!
I use the list when I get desperate
Morning sprite
and Good morning spritey, ruby and Norma.
ts
hello sprite and ahppy birthday ATA wherever you are!
Sorry wrong box lol
hello FM! Happy Sunday
Hello everyone
AFternoon lynxxx!
morning lynxxx
hello lynxx
morning FM
hi FM, hi lyn, hi rubyfoo, hi Norma! And bye BabbleRabble, am thinking of you. All the best to you.
Hi sprite
so many n words!
BRB
darn, finally I spot orient and now it is a phantom.
Yay - stumbled upon the other 9
good job lyn
lyn, love your icon for Ata!
You recognize who it is?
I thought I did
good! I wouldn't have
am wondering now if I have it right, lol
all I can see is Liszt
maybe it helps you got it off your chest now
phew, finall the n's have been dealt with.
wtg FM
There is birthday cake in the PB but where is the birthday girl?
off being happily celebrating her birthday, I hope
I think you might be right as she is not online.
would be nice!
looks like 2nd half of this grid is tightish
I'm down to 21 and still waiting to hit the wall (apart from the horrid n's that is).
ok thanks, will try and get brain in better gear then :) *stealthily drops a couple of extra bananas in front of monkeys*
Lynxxx, why does your road have a squiggly white line?> Drunken road painter, or hiccups?
hello Christine
don't know Christine, just another oddball english thing I guess
hello, all
Oh, English, not Australian road?
Hi Christine
You can tell by the cab on the left, if not the 'lady'
Love English cabs - you can get in and out without showing your 'everything'.
Ah the god of love is in the grid!
well that took you long enough to find it!
was thinking of you when I found him, FM. It's good when he waves at you, isn't it?
lol spritey
:)
Sorr, FMitch, I forgot to say hi to you.
As I work backwards it takes a while to get to the e's lynxxx.
hi everyone, sprite, mitch chris, lynx
hey sandy
hiya sandy *hugs*
of course, I forgot that FM (wondering how on earth you can be so methodical)
how are your knees today sprite?
hi Sandy
left one as good as new, right one still working up new bruises from the deep and darn painful. But in another week all will be well again. Thanks for asking :)
awful when you fall over and don't bounce like you used to
couldn't find the et4---that was cause there is no et4!!! duh
am used to it, my days of bouncing back are almost 15 years in the past. This wasn't too bad, it is healing up relatively fast, nothing was really injured and it didn't depress me :)
and done! That fi8/55 took some finding.
aw I ordered a present for my hubby's birthday in Australia and it did not arrive in time :( You guys are so far away!
Congrats FM!
wtg FM!
well done mitch
I'm sorry Sprite
When was his b'day sprite?
what was it Sprite, and yes we are far away
actual date was 16th, but we celebrate today.
it was a Cattleman hat.
oh cool!
I solved it by buying him one of those Orange football hats with openings in the rim for beer glasses, lol.
and of course it is Fathers Day today too.
lol
not father's day here- our father's day is in september
my love was born on a Father's Day. We usually celebrate his birthday together with Father/s Day, it is a little silly to have 2 parties in a week.
an Akubra - that took me time to remember
yes, a fawn Akubra Cattleman, exactly
the one he has is eroded to almost nothing.
I could hear the cogs whirring from here lynxxx :)
much creaking and groaning
lol
lol
Damn - I have forgotten Dr Who - BBL
I have to go, we are meeting some friends for lunch. See you later / have a great day or night.
bye
Byeee sprite and lynxxx .
good morning everyone;)
Greetings (((crossy)))

m + e**** lauder - (cosmetic and perfume producer)

;))
thanks FM
the worst was waking up at 4.30 a couple of days ago and just knowing I wouldn't get back to sleep. yw Kazzzer
indeed,i am zombie crossy at the moment...rrrr....brains.....
*passes a good strong mug of tea and a sneaky bacon sandwich over to crossy*
have to go to bed im a zombie too at the moment so with 61 left i take my leave - have fun all
Bye sandy
mmm tea ty,but i shall have to pass on the bacon....;(
tc sandy
Its a virtual bacon butty so no harm done :)
mmm;)
If no more clues are need I shall head off for a while - Happy Babbling all.
morning everyone, back from Church and having a quick babble before a shop
morning katie
Hi Crossy
http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/985 4/canreasvx5.png
:))
that's great crossy
and it not the 90% that live close to the border that they have to worry about..it is the other 10% lol
of which i am one:))
they forgot to mention you have a functioning health care service
sorry..CANNOT HEAR YOU OVER OUR HEALTHCARE...lol...but seriously it has its problems also,wife had to wait 4 month for a colonoscopy and a mir test can easily be 6 months away
mri*
I think everywhere has some issues but at least she can get both of them. How is she doing now?
and there are hospital room shortages,one dr told me that of the 25 beds in emerg triage,20 are full of peolple waiting for a bed upstairs and they have to rotate the 5 for all walk ins
she is doing well katie
ours has got much better but who knows what is going to happen with all the cuts to be announced this week
we are gritting our teeth for the upcoming harmonized sales tax..all that health care has to come from somewhere i suppose
we are not sure about tax rises but there will be massive cuts
:(
same all over i guess
yep and it would need to be done regardless of who won the election over here but I think it will be quite brutal *sigh*
and i have heard that PA in the states has suspended the entire public library system in that area..now that is sad
damn typos
good place to open a bookstore anyways
we are looking at our budget reducing a minimum of 25% but maybe up to 50% and the organisation reducing by 1/3 over the next 3 years
ouch
I do understand it all but is seems that it is OK just to keep slagging off public sector workers as if we are free loaders when we do work hard and deliver good projects. Fine if we want to cut down the size of the state but don't make it look like we weren't doing what was asked of us in the first place
very ouch Katie. Our Government put into place a massive spending in capital works for any school that wanted it to keep everything chugging along incl employment
we did that to begin with lynxxx, as an organisation we have spent an additional £1.5 billion over the last 2 years but now we have to stop for obvious reasons
our public workers are a mystery to the normal worker..saw in the paper some gal from the head offices of our hydro comission was bitching that her retirement package was ONLY 33,000.00 a month!!!
thats a lot of pantyhose:/
don't get me started on pensions it is a really devisive issue over here with it being made out we are getting something for nothing. whilst the system is unsustainable I contribute every month and have done so for 17 years and it was part of a lower pay package but now we are all sponging of the hard workers in the private sector
crossy you thing didn't mention that you are the evil foreigners that provide more than 50% of our oil
*your
us? how can ontario provide you with 50% of the oil??
didn't the Canadians also refuse to give america all your water?
Isn't it astonishing how people can whinge about ridiculous amounts of money in this day and age - and they are ashamed
i have never seen a oil derric in my entire life lol
it's true you are the enemy
water is gold now katie
*gets binoc to spy on canada*
blame canada!!
hi jmc
I grew up with oil derricks all around in Houston
hi lynxx
i would like to know where all this Ontario crude oil is....
(not working yet today) ;-)
i know those western bastards have the tar sands lol
not just ontario -- calgary too
lol jmc,that about 2000 miles to the left of me lol
I know -- it is the part of canada i have seen most often
if we have all this oil,how come we are paying 4 dollars a u.s gallon at the pumps/;((
not enough refineries up there
i think we should all go electric...got a big assed extension cord i can borrow jmc?
you guys already pug your cars in to keep them from freezing -- not enough plugs!
and if you have all the water, you'll have a heap of electricity
lol..actually real easy winters the past 3 years,has not gone below minus 20 in a bit
only if we have dams and dynamos lynxx,most of our fresh water is in the north on low lying lakes and national parks,not may like niagra falls
many
which reminds me i need to go water my garden before the heat advisory kicks in for the day
the heat advisory?
you dont just need water for hydro,you need FALLING water lol
melt snow crossy -- big ass flame thwoers in the rockies could get some water flowing
lol,those eastern pains in the ass will not let us
western*
means it will be hot, humid and nasty air so people are advise to stay in doors and buses are free for the elderly
sorry newfies;)
where are you jmc?
in Washington DC
mm,nasy,ill pass on chewing my air

mmmm interesting..did you know that sucide notes,if released to the public or to a newspaper or other information service are now classified as public domain and do not have any sort of copyright protection,even if the person who commited the act is/was an author?
tc riverdance;))
well.. i guess that kind of makes sense...
just something that does not come up often
what if it's addressed to a particular person
dpends on the person and what they do with it,i would imagine
if it was a famous author and the note was addressed to his editor,i would copyright it,if it was addressed to his son,same thing
well as soon as I get famous and decide to off myself...I'll make sure I tell my family.
if i get that famous,ill hire a stunt double for the part lol
LOL
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldn ews/article-1287631/The-dreaded-vuvuze la-claims-victim-Woman-bursts-windpipe -blowing-hard.html
for some reason that link won't transfer over for me
it takes me to the main site though. wish it hadn't..sad article.... :-(
mm osrry..i should tinyurl these
and it seems im dyslexic today as well;/
lol
they couldn't have a copyright unless there was a copyright notice filed with the copyright office and there is no privacy right for the dead
you could write it on a new type of paper and mark it pat pend,,,lol
that would only protect the paper not the words on it
oh well no nbt before meeting for worship for me today
mm,what a tangled web we are weaving
oh yeah... I remember in college engineering..they said sometimes pat pend is better than a pat. but you can't pat writing!LOL
hope i don't sit there an meditate on the grid!
of course if your made the note a short story....
still have to comply with the copyright law -- notice and filing
:-P
there we go,you can pirate suicide notes;)
good to know you don't have to be original when you are composing your suicide note
bbl
indeed
there should be an app so you can search for your salient points...
but then again,if you are penning such a note,the last thing you would care about is copyright infringement;0
a suicide note generator..... there prolly is!
mabe a donation box on top of your tombstone...
lol@ a sucide note generator
omg m9 there is!~!
http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/freesu icide/
http://www.porkjerky.com/free/suicide. php unreal
there we go,one official suicide note generator lol
see?? I figured there would be one
lol! some of the notes it makes are too funny
here is one...
Dear Fellow Pawns; Since November 1st, 1993 I have lived a lie that I can no longer go on with. I have started each of the last 6075 days by convincing myself that McDonald's would bring back the Double ZestaBurger--if only for a limited time and at only select locations. It was the only way I could get myself out of bed and through the day. Alas, I can no longer lie to myself about my future. I now accept that it is bleak. I do not control my destiny, nor my happiness. Like all of you, I am just a pawn in McDonald's global marketing plan. The same company that has returned the McRib 603 limited times in the last 16 years has never given my well-being a second thought. Well, congratulations, you win. McDonald's 1, paul 0. You have killed my will, spirit and soul; now my body will follow. Luckily, I will be going to a better place. A place where my happiness won't be controlled by a multi-national conglomeration of fry cooks in cheap suits. While my body will be buried in the same ground where Ray Kroc's is surely spinning; my soul will be with his in heaven. Not here in purgatory controlled by the whims of MBA's from Hamburger U. Together Ray and I will forever feast on that delicious ambrosia, the Double Zesta Burger. Sincerely, paul P.S. If you get a collect call from a cow in India in the next couple of years, accept the charges.
that IS funny!
one more...
lol
Dear Fellow Followers Of God: There comes a time in every person's life when god calls upon them to ritualistically remove their own liver. For me, that time is at hand. And I, paul, am not a blasphemer. Nor am I disillusioned about the consequences of fulfilling god's edict. I know that at best I will be left bileless, most likely dead. So, let this be my last testament. Let it be known that while my body lies here in Applebee's bathroom full of riblettes and those little cheese thingies, but empty of a liver; the rest of me is in a better place and surrounded by the spirit of the lord. Rejoice!! Do not mourn nor question. KTTL (kudos to the lord), paul P.S. Don't do an autopsy, this is definetly a suicide.
this is what i wake up to <ggg>
good morning bichon!

Lol. In very happy mood today!

I am too! Listening to my fav band and enjoying the sunshine!
Roses are red, violets are blue, What color are yours?
Green green is my favorite color when it comes to the others I just don't bother!
Roses are red, violets are blue, I like peanut butter, can you skate?
BR:: I've tried but I have no balance!
Roses are red, violets are bluish, and if it weren't for Jesus, we'd all be Jewish...
I know what you mean, Magyk.
I think I will return to lurk mode, after starting all this nonsense. Lol
good laughs!

Okay, another fan ... time to move on.

a funny way of saying that tiny golf device belongs to yourself, perhaps, shirlock?

The weather is just glorious here. Clear blue skies, a very gentle breeze - just as June should be....

well i'm in new england, not real england. but, the weather here is a bit on the hot and humid side, but not reaching the level of unbearability.
I keep forgetting you are not in the UK, Hursh.
i wish i could keep forgetting it too
i have mo9 - what's the other 9 ?
Theres an re9, but I havent got it yet.

Thanks MM
yw
Back out to catch some more rays - see you all soon.
hello all!!!
oh no! I missed SOODLES! *sad mama look*
oh well.
down to 102 last night.
can anybody clue the mo6?
hi stid, I'm back at it after the excitement last night. thanks for all your help!
hey Jilly! ((hugs)) glad you came back for more (punishment) LOL
i'm ((wheeee)) hooked!
I love fresh still warm from the oven banana bread!
hey Magyk! *sneaks piece o' banana bread*
Mo + John Ford's frequent leading actress was Mau**** O'Hara
thanks for that one Erda
Hey Stid!
ty erda and all cluers - that's firewords
DAN! she's GORGEOUS! *admiring icon*
ty stid - we think so too :-)
Nice Dan! ((smiles))
YAY Dan!
You are welcome!
my she's gotten big, hasn't she? You are so lucky.
mi7?
mrs2bit put her in a special Father's Day onesie today it says "My <3 belongs to Daddy" :-)
that is so sweet. and true, no doubt!
mi7 what my eyes get more of when I think of her :-)
how is mrs2bit doing? is she getting enough sleep? any "me" time?
ty Dan!!
great clue, dan
etui counts, but not etwi *sigh* any help on the E next to the R?
clue for mi 6/24
hey matches
try it with different vowells stid
Thanks ruru! **hugs**
it the needle case
btw, you have "inspired gremlinn" there were some AWFUL puns last night.
me?.. I need to read them then.. lol
I dropped a few myself..lol
Hi ruru
gm jj
yes, highly amusing... that's one of the things I have missed with my daytime schedule.
i'll read them later.. about what time?
mrs2bit is doing pretty well - full recovery from c-section, and baby is sleeping 5 to 6 hours at night, but has restless early mornings
M9 ripped off a couple of good ones yesterday
just before or just after flip... I can't remember
well, as much as I would like to continue this so6/18, I gotta get some yard work done!! back to the grid l8r..((hugs))
glad to hear she is doing okay. please send her our best!
oh... I'll check
baby will have "irregular" sleep for a while, YOU will think she has settled into a routine and then she will have a growth spurt and everything will change, sleepwise, again.
enjoy Jilly! not warm or dry enough for yard work here.. *sigh* I need sunshine.
yep. we are concentrating on nightime bath-nursing-bed ritual for now, and lots of swaddling
swaddling is good. they like that. At least, my boys did.
and you? are you getting enough sleep and away time too? Are you both eating properly? That is something Tom and I neglected a bit with our first (partly because he was sick and I had to get back to work so fast), so important to attend to your own needs.
is the solo M fishy?
m+ mrs. lauder- the perfume
thanks magyk! and not fishy. Peculiar word.
yw!
so now just that last E next to the R for NBT... *thinking and monkeying*
GAH. fishy love-god. *sigh*
NBT!!! :-D
Think needle case with other vowels
thanks helensgirlkid!
a lot of words using that Z... rather nice for point values!
there. down to 50. taking a break and back later. ((hugs all)) have a lovely day! *poof*
Happy Day all!
Hi science geek. Pretty quiet right now
Need to go through FD gift in bag....brb
where is everyone?
Hi Science. Just starting the grid and not looking at the chog.
It is a sunday, so perhaps people are doing family things right now. ( I am avoiding chores)
I always avoid chores lol
I must take a break. Even using licketys List I have 52 more to find! Have a good time Babbling everyone!
gd evening everybody
down to 33 but no time left!
anybody here?
morning/afternoon all
Nobody here but us chickens Ruby!
hello ;)
rather like a ghost town today?
It is very quiet - perhaps they are all watching Brazil v |Ivory Coast!! Wonder who will win that one??!!
I'd hate to venture a guess since I'm not following the Word Cup...
Think I'll knock off now - nice glass of wine is in order!! Bye folks
take care
hi pini ((hugs)
hi there, Jilly
it's awfully quiet today
a bunch were on earlier. must be world cup game.
ah....
hello everyone!
hi Miz
I am one of the few that isn
nice to meet you Miz
watching the soccer game
same here, miz
crossy is also lurking as having a nap and watching soccer seem to end up the same way,me laying on the couch snoring lol
ROFL
:)
well welcome back to grid then, crossy
hi crossy
maybe if they gave them hockey sticks,,,and had boards around the edges to be checked against...and maybe grass skates so they can go really fast...wait! thats hockey!!! lol
I totally agree crossy!
sounds like "summer hockey" :)
if only...
lol
or field hockey
not to diss the game,but last week sometime they matched the first place team against the dead last team..result? 2-1 lol
minus the skates
this year hockey could be year round with our weather
although I might consider watching if it the field weren't so big; as it is, all I ever see is lots of guys running with a ball that happens to be on the field too
maybe I'm missing the point...but well...
was waiting for the wifes test on friday(a colonoscopy and the u.s vs whater game was on,they made us wait for 2 hours with that thing on and the nurse finally called her name and i told the nurse"i see what you are doing here..2 hours of this and you can save on anestetics lol
ROFL!!! good one, crossy
fi 8?
fi + the person who jots notes down in a column
fi + most of a irritation from walking too much
fi+ b***** what happens if you pur boiling water on your hand
ty Pini & ruru
crossy is slow on the kb today
nice clue crossy...ty
:)
ty, crossy
(i've been lurking too)
there are also two w varriatoin of hot dog;))
hi dc
variations*
ahh I see the lurking ones have picked babble over soccer (football)
sorry footie fans,it puts ole crossy in a coma
its like watching british dart tourneys lol
same here, crossy...
imho, a pinball machine has more activity...
it's one of those sports that are better in person, althoughI would want to avoid the trampling after the game
Our kids soccer fields were behind the house where mother sat with her coffee, TV and binoculars.
lol indeed miz,but then you go from total boredom to risking your life in the stands lol
soccer weather here can be brutal
having never seen a live game...I wouldn't know
i was born in uk,and my da used to watch it all the time as i was growing uphe called the stand activity just getting their pride on...pride on??? the only thing missing was chemical warfare lol
golf vs soccer
gotta give it to soccer for watching
no,try curling lol
now there is a game to make you want something exciting..like watching paint dry
watching bamboo grow
the only thing I liked about golf was it was the one thing my dad and I had...I would watch it with him
how about bowling?
lawn bowling lol
only time that's entertaining is when watching The Big Lebowski
ahh, football eh? who's playing this evening?
i like watching john daily tee up though
john daly is taking lessons from TIger's wife these days
i like daily,i once watched him stoll uo to the blocks,butt his smoke out on his shoe,finish his can of coke set the empty can on the dround as a tee and drive that ball almost 400 yards..of a pop can!! lol
he's trying to learn how to beat tiger with a nine iron like she did
skill, crossy, skill ;)
ignore typos please
lol ruru,notice all the gold diggers are coming out and holding babbies they say are tigers? too funny
Daily always could hit the ball further than most others. It was life that got in his way..
Oh I know, Crossy...wish I'd thought of that ;)
if all those kids were his,he would of had no time for golf
Hi NB!!
sounds like he didn't golf enough...
crossy, did you know that most people who can read english rely most heavily on the first and last letters of a word; the order of letters in the middle of word are insignificant...so if you don't say anything, no one will probably even notice (much)
NB - how'd you do on your test?
Hi, Jilly! :)
i know that pini,and it is a blessing for me
no doubt for any number of us!
still waiting on the blood results, Java - bloody NHS - but other than that, full marks until later notice ;)
this is a prime example pini.....
http://www.funny-potato.com/read-this. html
I don't know crossy, babbler are pretty letter conscious *ency*
*envy
going now
by pini see you tonight!
http://voltbang.livejournal.com/965123 .html - relating to NB's icon
I passed, crossy!!!! :)
take care, Jilly!
So, somewhat good news, then; I'll keep praying.
yaa for pini!!
bye pini
most people who are bibliophiles or like word games will pass easily
oh, not "going" "going"....went to read crossy's url
sorry ... my bad!
*red in face*
oop!
* giggle * :)
no worries...made me smile! i feel important!
Oh thank you, Java :) I'm sure it'll be alright...I'm an optimist
And Seain, that's a very good point. Blaming BP seems to be Obama's favourite thing at the moment..
indeed, NB, multiple parties are at fault with this one
Good, nothing like a positive outlook!
I passed to crossy!
too
Watched the news shows today, now they're wanting the Navy to take over...ya know, maybe they should back the Coast Guard better...that's their mission...
< rolls eyes
we don't really know what needs done, let alone how to do it
ne 5/20 please
ah that's it Miz, get us all back on track! (hugs)
you are very welcome! I was just thinking that some of us are still working on puzzles (and really need help)
ne5.20 is variant of ne5.10
thanks dc
no, and it is such a horrible tragedy :( well, I'm off to take a bath. There's still sequins/writing on me from last night
ne5/10?
ne5.10!
Nice party eh?
njoy, NB
it is slang for nonsense, nuts
according to the dictionary
I would love to live vicariously through you , NB
incredible that stuff like this used to exist,this is a schematic of a "slaver" ship from the late 1700,s http://memory.loc.gov/service/pnp/cph/ 3a40000/3a44000/3a44200/3a44236v.jpg
got 'em! :)
well all, gotta run off to garden again ttyl
crossy, illustrations like that are in history books in the US, in my state, starting in grade 4
i should use tiny more often http://tinyurl.com/68pzkb
brb
lol,dc,we do not get a ton of u.s history up here,just old texbooks from the 40,s when i was in school..they must of roamed the yard sales for them lol
when i graduated,the texts we were using were still talking about a lunar landing once day lol
Pretty horrific; that we could even consider people as less than human like that
it is horrific
agreed, java and crossy, but it's still important to teach about it, that it may never happen again so long as the current culture stands, and for some time after it falls
i agree dc
hi all and happy father's day to the guys...
Finished!
absolutely - someone much smarter than me said that we would be doomed to repeat if we didn't remember.
May I have a clue for the first re 5 pleasae
please
all the popular books of the mid 1800,s to the 1920,s have often been critisized and often banned from schools due to the authors use of language and views of the day...thats crap let the students read them as they are a better snapshot of history than most
ty science
agreed, crossy
i don't think i have it, science
cannot see it I have 6 left and they are all re's
Was it Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn that was banned for a while?
indeed java
both, depending on where, java
the HS i attended had an english program that only used textbooks and assigned books that were banned in at least 2 places in the US or Canada
goeorge orwells 1984 was for a bit as well as bradburys farenheit 451
You re*** your magazine subscription.
ty
'Course, I don't believe in banning any books - maybe just screening for age appropiate content
ty, mudd
you're welcome ... I know how much it helps when someone clues for me.
wow, I had that one and didn't even know it
i do not hold back any book from my son as long as he is old enough to understand it
reis
java, have you read Maus and Maus II? Graphic novels about the Holocaust
oops
Well folks, I've enjoyed your discussion immensely, but I'm finished and my granddaughter just got up from her nap.
Banning Farenheit 451 is ironic
See you tomorrow sometime, if she gives me the time.
congrats, mudd, and enjoy the granddaughter
it is indeed
indeed it is, java!
ty and ty; I will.
No, I haven't - I'll have to see if I can find them - thanks Always up for new books to read "so many books so little time"
need re 8/9 combo
the toilet place
where you use it
it's a compound word
ty, miz
yw!
how could i not see those?! Thanks
2 more
and you don't really do that in that place, do you?
In Spain, they're called "los servicios", literally "the services"
done
hello, mi6/24 pls
yay science!
congrats, science
okay, that's all foiks....anyone need a clue before I go?

I think a CIV player just got his cleats through one of the Brazilian's shin guards. owie!
has anyone watched the French soccer team in the World Cup?
OMG man juice is in the grid
<<< hasn't watched world cup action
well there's a player on the French team that could be Venus Williams' tw4 !!! Too funny!
world cup is about the only professional sports I will watch, except curling.
and after what happened in the U.S. - Slovenia match I may stop watching that, too.
i'm watching golf
hi all
hi je! long time no see :)
hey jmc
hi lil
i am cooking up a mess of chicken legs if anyone wants to come over
i thought the french team was striking
is the second ni 7 fishy?
depends, monkey. how messy, and what's the weather like? LOL
back all
they are not messy... i was just using Southern speak for "large quantity" of chicken drumsticks.. and the weather is hot and sunny
sounds like a road trip, stid!
hey pini!
pini! hello there!
hi pini
pini, i sure do enjoy our Lexulous games
*wink* I know -- wondering if you will have hush puppies too?
me, too, lil* (you haven't started the concurrent 2nd yet tho)
no hush puppies, stid :(
road trip sounds nice pini. *desiring muchly to get a way from it all*
* seconding stid's desire *
oh, and lil*...sorry about the dbl bingo! :)
chicken dumsticks, tater salad and asparagus, y'all come
WHAT DOUBLE BINGO
bummer. I used to like hush puppies. guess I'll just stay home then. *wicked mama grin*
*stomping foot*
i am not sure i am happy about it but i am definitely about to get away from it all
oh wait! tater salad??? *monkey hears knock on door*
in one of our recent games?
(not in the new one)
oh oh jmc, you want to share?
fireworks!
pini, you BINGO WENCH!
YAY MiZ!!!!
whoo hooo miz!
t'was a fluke I tell you!!!
9 days til I fly to Kenya
stid, also we're having sweet tea
thanks!
KENYA! wow!
excellent, monkey. I like sweet tea, too.
WTG MizHoffle
exciting, jmc!
I guess it is that time already jmc!
blech i hate sweet tea
bye all...must get the laundry done and finally clean the guest room where I have been dumping all of my stuff
the first ni 7/28....any clues?
i love my mama's sweet tea
then tanzania and someplace else that escapes me for the moment
lil*...how far are you from Freeport TX?
um, about eleventy billion miles
no clue, dubb...stumped myself
later iz
never drank it in Texas -- it was a Georgia and NC thing
oops. later Miz
monkey lives close to where I grew up, pini!
hasta, miz
Freeport is outside of Houston -- science is near
I live in coastal Virginia, beautiful Yorktown, Virginia
where's that, stid?
really, jmc? If I get to go in Sept I'll try to meet her!
hey Cote d'Ivoire got a goal! (after taking out TWO of the Brazilian players)
the first PE7/32....can't get that one either
why are you going to freeport?
I lived just southeast of Yorktown, pini, "little" town called Newport News, at one time the biggest civilian shipbuilders in the U.S.
my dau currently lives in VA
didn't know that, stid!
where in Va, pini ??
are the RE 8/9 fishy?
yes, stid. Public, even
stid, NN is still a large shipbuilding town
Norfolk
(area)
pini, i am just about 40 mins north of Norfolk
thanks seain *thinking*
let me know when you are coming here to visit! we can meet!
ROFL! got it seain!
:D
you will probably fly in to Houston to get to Freeport -- and land at Hobby Field about 2 miles from where I grew up in Houston
* sad * she's moving to Freeport TX with her fiance...where they're getting married in Sept...don't think I'll be getting to VA...but will definitely look you up if I get there!!!
how fun, jmc!
Freeport is about 50 miles due south of Houston
right on the coast, yes, jmc?
pini, is your icon a clockwork horned beetle?
well, TX is closer than VA, pini.
it is, dc ;)
yes, hence the name pini
good point, stid ;)
let's have a Texas babble meet-up
* smarty pants *
(to jmc)
woot woot!
help on the last fishy si 6 please>?
I'm saving for the trip now...
not brother, but...
YES!!! stid
if we have a TX babble meetup, I hope ping can come too.
hmmm only if it is whenever they have my homecoming at my highschool
oh gee whiz! thanks all!
when is that, je
the ONLY si6 is a big fish!!!!
donno I will have to look it up lil
on the other hand I am already part of a west coast meet up
LOL pini... yes it is. Big Si 6 = fishy..... *wicked little si6 look*
when is that?
is the second ni 7 something I should know?
jmc...you're a USA babblist...you seem to meet up anywhere! :)
YES! August 21! HERE in Washington! *bounce bounce*
extend the ni6
Oh, stid!!!
News!!!
Little M is spending the week before and after with me!!!
aug 21 in Wash state?
(days only tho :[ )
that's right, monxey
dang i was hoping you meant Wash DC
very cool pini -- so that will curtail your visit somewhat.
sorry, lil*...that's a bit far for us west coasters! :(
thanks pini *thinking*
Mmmmm I smell the chikn legs roasting
nearest upcoming to us is in Philly
i'm a travelin' (wo)man all over the world
not really...I'm waiting for final confirmation...will be available for GT Fri/Sat/Sun ;)
that you are, jmc!
when is that, dcseain?
but that's wonderful! you'll have a great time
okie dokie!
i need to email them and commit a date and location.
have not set a date yet or picked a restaurant/bar yet either
she and I are already working on our activities...
OK keep me posted!
looks like last year the homecoming was in October -- I think I may go this year
i would love to go to Philly
hm. I didn't expect an italian-looking word there. got it.
it's a fun, if dirty, city
(stid, add a vowel to the ni6)
do that dc so that lil and I can change our profiles! lol
may not bee til Sept. most of the nice places are downtown and it is very crowded in the summer.
do the re8 and 9 extend the re6?
i had fun in Balmer... went to the Inner Harbor that day
hey what are you calling a fun, dirty city?
hi peri!
and I hate the term Philly
hello everyone -- Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there
firewords!!!!!
WTG stiddles!
compound word and yes pini
wtg stid!
hey peri!
congrats, stid
hey nan!
Philadelphia, peri. no offense intended, but thus far in my life, it's the dirtiest city i've visited.
oh, duh...stid...thx
hello, nan
i love visiting there
congrats stid
Don't worry, Peri ;) I'm from a fun, dirty city too...
I needed help for that one too, pini
but has great cheesesteaks! and hoagies!
phone
i've not been to London, but that may be, NB :)
Nancy Boy! (((((many hugs))))) how are you doing? sleeping any better? still training for the run? are you eating properly? *critical mama look*
oh, yes! the food scene in Philadelphia is WONDERFUL
hey nb how are you doing today, dear?
dcseain, which Babblers living in Phil?
well I do not eat out much and having difficulty chosing a place. Owl will not go to South Street. so was thinking of somewhere in center city but again very crowded with tourists in the summer and problem with parking
I'm very well thank you, Stid and Peri :) spent all day cleaning up after last night's housewarming...there's still sequins -everywhere-...
peri, TO, ciocia, nrkii, and a few others are in or near there.
sequins? housewarming? that explains the racket that kept me up half the night... LOL
cool! count me in! What is the deal with South Street?
There's a cheap garage at the NW edge of center city, not far from city hall and chinatown
I live outside of Philadelphia and my sister does too. Owl lives near. Cioccia lives in northeern or northwest Pa and nrkii lives in NJ
(and we don't have the 'philly' problem, but we do have the locals calling it LAHNDAHN)
brasil won!
viva brasil!
LOL Stid! Quite ;)
i don't like it when tourists call Washington DC "Warshington" There's no R people!
dc, do you know of any place to meet in Phila. strange that I am asking an out of towner this question
you "sound" happier, Nancy Boy. that makes me feel better about the situation.
back
same with those who visit the PNW, lil*...it's WASHington...no R anywhere in the word!
actually its the District or the colony
not sure which garage you are talking about dc
i've mostly been to places along South street. I've good friend who lives there - i'll consult with her
I -am- happier, Stiddy :) Leo has been acting like such a prize tool that it's difficult to miss him.
except there is a group of long-time families who use that pronunciation, pini. I suspect there was a contingent from a particular large influx with that dialect
i'd need to look at map - i park there when i go to Philcon, which is usually in a hotel near chinatown
ok and then please e-mail me, dc. really appreciate it
pini, I never know how to pronounce Oregon, is it ORE a gone, or OREgone or ARE a gun or what
i will, once i get her suggestions :)
ty,dc. now off to check on laundry and the rest of the dinner, bbl
orygun
soft Y
ory like ORRIE or like ORA
OR-É™-gun is how i say it
yes, and so many people say willa-MET; we say OR-uh-gun... (schwa)
more like orrie (but soft on the end)
May I just say... 'vehicle' is not 'vee-hick-el' ;)
what does an upside down e sound like?
upside down e sounds like UH
Vee -glottal-ick-el
it's a schwa - unstressed vowel
that's the schwa pini, and it sounds like uh, or a "dropped" vowel
Nancy Boy how do you pronounce vehicle
that's it, stid! :)
we notice many us people say vee -Hicle and PO-lice
personally...I say CAR!
all I want to know is how to pronounce choclit...
LOL Pini!
CHOCK LIT
yep. CAR. or in your case, TRUCK! rofl
or shock o LOT
ah, but, stid...down here we call 'em RIGS!
any cooks in the house?
difficult to explain Lil! actually we brits just try and run as many syllables into the same sound as possible :P
need an opinion...
chocklit, as monkey said
some say PO-leese, others say po-LEESE (long o)
hi, kje, what's your query?
I can burn water, kje...will that help?
lots, kje, ask away!
i can cook!
and in England, we say pleese!
I want to make a chocolate-espresso mud cake with an espresso bourbon glaze
and customs bust many people cause visitor say TORonTO while us locals say toronno lol.language is so fun sometimes
yep. *sniffs air appreciatively* monkey's making CHICK'n
recipe calls for bourbon in the cake and glaze...
I thought you said "bobbies?"
yes?
lost me on the word "make", kje...deferring to the other babble cooks
yes, kje?
mmmm bourbon
yes, kje?
I have maker's mark whiskey, a cognac, and a brandy - which would you use?
bah. bourbon. just use RUM!
mmm bourbon.....
LOL Stid. 'Rozzers' here in London ;)
maker's mark
makers mark
i do have rum also
markers mark
re 5/18, please?
i would use the makers mark, and put it in the glaze, not the cake
bourbon for the win"
yes, kinda figured the whiskey would be closest
brandy would likely be too sweet
I concur with mOnkey
re5 your library book
* looking for same, nan *
I don't have bourbon!
actually that is a terrible waste of makers mark
and can't buy it today... pkus too lazy to go to the store anyway
you all do know i am cut off of all my favorite hard spirits?...whine.....
except in the glaze
well, I have frittered away a couple of hours. Suspect my mood and energy will improve if I spend 30 minutes to take care of a task or two that I have been putting off... back later. ((((hugs all)))) see you! *poof*
gee cross you are cut off a lot these days
byeeeeeeeeeee stid
bourbon/whiskey - basically the same. diff is Bourbon comes from Bourbon county, KY, or the Viriginia Gentleman disilerry.
indeed jmc..:((
hasta, stid
almost down to what i call a no-food diet
mmm -- reread, return, .....?
i did not know that dc... i do not drink whiskey - vile stuff
you need the book longer, nan
bourbon is a kind of whiskey
thx nan!
ty -- couldn't get twisted around that!
so does bourbon really taste any different than whiskey, then? or just a nomenclature issue
it actually does taste different--tends to be smoother
nomenclature
bourbons are oft a bit smoother, though
LOL - we have a split opinion
OK, thanks!
see dc admitted i was right! lol
maker's not a bourbon, but lovely smooth
OK, off to continue baking - thanks
makers mark is tasty
makes me cough, jmc
the real expensive single malt whiskies are greatly different as they are not blended and local nuances come forth in the tasting
I like Patron, it is smooth :)
I like koolaid!
I'm with you monkey - give me a tequila over whiskey any day!
dammit if I input "stereo" ONE MORE TIME
single barrel whiskeys are lovely, too
really must poof
indeed c
dc
i HATE tequila - tastes horrible, even the good ones
but got sucked into the grid
njoy, kje
mmmm single malt whiskeys
mmmm single malt whiskeys
mmmm single malt whiskeys
you add just a touch of distilled water to release the vapours
*hic*
LOL jmc
OK, poof

Hiya everybody :)
hi soodle
hi Soodle
Another smashing day here - my tan is coming on nicely
rainy here :(
Oh Peri, we had a rules: 1) No complaints, 2)the one that cooks doesn't clean up and regular FFY nights *fend for yourself
Where in the world are you, Pini?
when my kids were young, we used to have Fun Friday's...maybe I should change that to FFYF: Fend For Yourself Friday's!
US west coast, soodle
And its rainy? :(
yeah *sigh*
Fridays in this house are Pot Luck days......You either feed yourself, or you go hungry!
We've had a miserable spring here too pini, no tan for me, wind burn maybe
;)
I like that soodle! Both my husband and I work in the local hospital, free meals when we work, so most nights are that here
The weather this past couple of days has been very un-Irish. Clear blue skies, gentle breeze, beautiful sunshine, and no humidity. Everybody is in good humor, and smiling. Long may it last!
*smiling*
Becareful of the strong skin on fair Irish skin Soodle
*sun that is
I know, Bichon. SPF 15 being used on everybody here. But it is just so unusual to have nice weather, the whole country seems to be smiling right now. Its great.
ahhh, we are skin sisters, I have irish heritage and the fair skin
Skin sisters! I like that!!
Thanks be to goodness I avoided the red-hair-and-freckles gene, so the sun is not my enemy!
re8?

Compound word, Mag - where the little boys go....
ty! how did I not see that??
I woreked in hospitals for years and never got a free meal except on holidays
don't forget to pl
got it! Thank you Pini
Free meals sound good. They sound even better as you don't have to buy the stuff, cook the stuff, then clean up after eating the stuff!
It's a small hospital, lower wages so they make up for it in benefits. We get 40% off on bills too. ^_^
that makes sense then Jiloy
Wow - sounds like a decent place to work, Jilly.
Jilly even

I work in the Coroners service. Maybe when the time comes, I will get a free inquest..............

Grid si 4/9 today wasn't bad so I had a fi 4/8 mind to finish the grid today & I did.With ze4/9 words left, I have no mo4/5 words left to find so here's a story of clues for today. My tr 4/4 of monkeys we4/8 pe4/5s again today. Monkeys acted even pe7/32 since they were in5/10. The monkeys refused to move from the tr 4/4 when I first called for them. Monkeys were te 6/18s and really te4/4ed my patience.I had to shake my fi4/7 at them to get them to budge. Then when I asked them a question,their li4/5s were sealed.They were not good li 8/40s and wouldn't li 6/18 to me. So I put the little tw 5/18 out of their mi5/12y and I let them go. They ran off to go get dirty and look for ne 5/18 in the mo5/12 mi4/5. I will refuse to re5/18 my friendship with them for awhile.They will not re 5/18 my love either.Then I was a li6/18 and used the li4/4 instead. Eyes are so 4/4 from staring at computer. I am going to ri4/4 out of this seat & go sl4/5 into my PJs.Then I'm going to go call my si6/18 Mo6/21.Hope clues helped st 5/10 you in the right direction to so 4/4 out some of the words.I'll come back with a glass of wi4/8 to computer ro 4/5 to clue for the re4/4 of the ni 4/4.
min you are so cute.

when i finish i have a story to ask everyone about. a reall dilemna for me. a soap opera
wtg Jellen
ty got it.
need we six first one. have second one.
not drier
ty that is second. but i just got first one myself.
oops, sorry!
Congratulations Jellen on your fireworks! Good for U!
firewks. whew.
anyone want to give me advice????
i need advice.
Yay, mkg!
Congratulations mkg on your fireworks! Hooray for U
i have a lot of kids. first 4 are married. we get along really well with the people they married, and the parents and siblings as well. we even like them! we visit them and enjoy them all. bar none.
Now I can go take a break. I will be back later to clue
ok so now child number 5 bring s home a boy. he is weird. but sweet and so we like him a lot.
anyone listening? if not i dont need to continue.
I'm listening...
me too
so i grow to really like the person. but husband doesnt like him at all. feels he is weird.
so then i am told he hasnt spoken to his mother for almost a year. weird stuff.
then my kid says i wont like the mother.
weird stuff.
*lurk/listening mode*
then meet siblings of his. weird kids.
well they get engaged. i am so happy.
Fireworks, but I am li6 - ing
so husband and i call the parents to say congratulations. we get 1 hour of mom saying how horrible her son is.
Yay, wht!!!
congrats wht...stll listening
(yay wht)
frieked me out. tells me horrible stuff. makes me afraid of the son. now i dont know what to do.
husband is also a mess. he tells our kid mother is crazy. and poison. and does she want to deal with her for the rest of her life?
hmmm, weird is definitely the right word...
Are you sure the parent is telling the truth? Sounds like something peculiar.
well then we meet her. horrible! terrible! she goes on and on in front of son about how terrible he is.
we dont know what to believe. the kid is weird, remember. we both think that.
is she stable?
And just because you marry a person doesn't mean you have to hang out with (anyone in) the family.
so now mother writes me e mail saying i "misinterpreted her". i "misunderstood her" and she doesnt hate her kid.
Is the child peculiar because of the parents?
Given the mother, it is no wonder the son is weird.
Congratulations wht on your fireworks! Hooray for U
With a mother that behaves like that, I'd be weird, too...
i was livid. she blames me for misinterpreting her.
dont know if she is stable.
hello Min, welcome to the grid.
so i sent e mail to my kid saying how furious i was with her insinuating i was to blame for twisting what she said.
my kid shows the son and he writes and tells me to stop taking negative about his mother.
so you telll me.............where do i go from here?
You don't mkg -- it is your child's life. Let your child figure this out now.
Hi stidmama! Actually, I was on my way out. I stayed for mkg's fireworks and now must take a break. BBL.
((Min)) later!
omg, mkg do not email, talk to them, emails can be so misinterpreted...or as stid says let your child figure it out
i think i will just back off and do nothing.
Support your kid, whatever the decisions made...
thanks. my kid says she is on hold for planning the wedding. so guess she is questioning too.
Sounds like a good plan mkg.
yes i will support my kid whatevwer her decision is. ty. great advice.
that sound positive
ty all. how great to have a grid like th is.
I think backing off is exactly what you need to do; and listen nonjudgementally and kindly if they (your kid and fiance) volunteer info.
i appreciate all of you for being so kind to listen.
And breathe. Don't forget to breathe... ((mkg))
i wont have any contact with the mother.
to answer her e mail would be terrible. so wont do it.
ty all.
smart move mkg, make sure to tell your kid if she needs you, you are there to listen
you can put a "blocker" on the mother's email address so it goes to spam...
ooooooooooooooo i like that idea. to put her in spam.
how do i do t his in g mail?
like a left tackle or a nose guard stid?
hold on mkg, let me check on that. hey ruru! I am thinking like a sherman tank... rofl
*wishes it was football season*
you may have to mark one of her previous emails as junk and the rest will not be allowed
it won't be long ruru
Hey, ruru...
hi jellen
anyone have a clue for the first ni7/28?
add vowel to the ni 6 before it.
two things in gmail you can try, mkg. one is, from the main "inbox" (where you see the list of emails) put a checkmark next to her emails and "report spam" button at the top.
hey locks
after a couple of times doing that all her emails will go directly to the spam filter.
Hi, Locks
hi all
Like the ni5 before it.
i dont want to delete the one she sent as it is proof of her blaming me.
ni 5/10 + two vowels
i will look into it. ty so much.
i doubt she will ever contact me again. she is very passive aggressive.
thanks all, fireworks
Hi Babblers, back from fixing hubby a Fathers Day dinner: grilled teriaki salmon, grilled asparagus, grilled red potatoes and sunomono salad. mmmmmmm
Yay, Locks!!!
jilly i will be right over.
the other thing is you can put a filter on her email address directly. There is a "more actions" button next to "refresh" -- you can create a folder for her emails and send her stuff directly there so it never actually shows up in your inbox but you will have it if you need to see what she has written.
hey Jilly!
YAY locks!
oh montana, eh? well cant get there.
ty stid. wow wish you were local so i could hire you to do computer stuff for me.
sunomono? I ADORE that! where do you get the crunchy seaweed?
Ya pretty long walk...lol, well, hubby enjoyed it, poor dear had to work on Father's Day.
well time to go to read my book. am reading alaska by michener. long time since i read a michener novel and i love them.
so night all.
oh that's a bummer, but at least he had a lovely dinner to come home to! (and a lovely spouse...)
We have several stores that sell Nori
enjoy, mkg! (((hugs))) hang in there.
Sheesh stid, I can never post a photo here!! lol ((hugs & kisses))
you use regular nori? I have a LOT of that in the house!
Night mkg
ya, all I can get, mostly use cucumber and more fruit than restaurants...tonight was oranges, strawberries and blueberries.
like Nori is us?
I am off as well. Night all. Happy Babbling.
ah, tom is home with stidkid #1. he spent some time this afternoon at a friend's house.
sweet dreams wht!
Nori-Mart?
nite wht, have a great monday!
Good to Nori?
heehee cute one ruru!
mmmm. nori! *stidkid #2 brings some nori...*
Cya-Nori?

Hi, jmc
hi jell hi all
hi jell
*hic*
sorry Jilly, got distracted by the latest squeaky wheel email I am writing...
hey jmc
*hands stiddie an oil can*
nope. no oil until we get results from the RIGHT oil cans...
hands jm a slice of lemon with two drops of bitters
*puckers*
Oh, I am so sluggish after that meal AND distracted with watching the Red Sox beat the Dodgers, so Babbling distractedly.
what was that for ru?
your hiccups
:D
oh those are my computer hiccups
oh.. not sure how bitters works on computers
my computer has been giving me grief all day
i would be more worried about the lemon juice on computers
i am ready to try anything
*stern mama look at computer*
no the lemon juice cleaned all the oil off the computer
and it smells so lemon-fresh now
*sniff sniff* so it does
(brings in Martha Stewart to check)
i do like her sheets!
*martha makes a new mouse out of a lemon for jm*
hmmm but my laptop has a pad not a mouse
well it was thoughtful of martha anyway
well.. you have a mouse now
don't piss off martha..
i am grateful for the mouse
she's been to prison
(that's more like it)
pooh so has my exbrother in law and a couple of old boys friends
there was that murderer i dated for a while. . .
oh jeez
hi all, Happy Fathers Day to the dads that are here.
??? really jmc?
*curious mama look* hey tea! happy day to you!
all true . . .lol
like Ted Bundy or something?
no a sad story really
oh! also I got a spam email purportedly from you, tea... but I think it hijacked someone's computer that you had written to.
OJ?
Hi, TNC
he was in college during a time period when well . . .er. . . drugs we** common
ruru! *stern mama look*
a "friend" stole drugs from him
just guessing
not sure, stid, I did send out 2 crazy e-mails in the middle of the night the other night - actually my computer did, so I ran a scan and cleaned up, seems to be solved.
shazam! here.s crossy back for a few more!!
he broke into the friend's apartment to steal the drugs back and chloroformed the friend who died
oh wow...
okie dokie, glad I saw you, considered sending you an email too, but hadn't got around toit. :-D
hey crosseroo!!!!
oh dear, jmc. that is awful!
believe me, I have gotten a ton back!
stiddles!
too bad tean
oh! um, didn't mean I was going to send you SPAM back, I was going to send an actual NICE note! LOL
sounds like the senoir center here in town
no, I got lots of notes back - some nice and some not so nice
senior center that is
the spam or the drugs?
*grin* (he called me stiddles)
I like stiddles
the drugs and the resulting bad decision-making by all parties are awful -- and sad -- and disheartening. So many lives changed for the worse.
;)
O clues please

I had to laugh the other day, one of my youth ministry teens posted on FB "Warning to all little kids: get out of my way; I've been waiting 11 years for this."
I know, I barely remember TS2!
it was cute - a couple of scarier parts for Crackers, but he was okay.
has it been 11 years since TS2???
yepper doodle!
gee whiz *half of hairs on head turn white*
I think I may have taken my niece to TS2 - she would have been Tea's age
Yep, some movies seem to get a sequel the minute the other one's done. Well guys, baseball and facebook are taking my attention tonight so going to sign off with 22 left..will return to fight another day...have a great night and better Monday

yeah - finished 3 days in a row with no help
well done! (but I was referring to the upcoming grid!) LOL
which means no viewing the chat as well
very well done ;)
