hello gang :)
hi and nbt
hi jilli
Can't get 4 qu words - only 2.Any hints?
great telephone story jilli
qu4 x 2, qu5 x 2
Really? Ok - cool - thanks!
flosey -- I love your phone -- there are lots of great reproductions of the oldies but with all mod cons, it seems!
Nope - doesn't work - I fall for anything!
first qu5 is a plural
thanks jilli, I have a very vague recollection of seeing one similar to this as a child visiting, perhaps grandmother
I wouldn't be surpised!
first qu4 - four
second often ends in y
Yes, got that one.
that is plural for a 5
other 5 sounds like a bird that can fly but often runs around - have many chicks
I appreciate your qu clues, flosey, but my brain must be exhausted after bridge (horrible cards, hilarious run of mistakes!)
Got the 4, and the 5 that sounds like a bird.
ah, frustrating!
but if you have the second qu4, add pl. for 5
Geo came home and made me some tea
No, don't have 2nd 4
How nice, flos!
lady came to the door around 11: she had found a small dog on the road and he hopped right into her car, was looking for owner and saw lights here, have no idea, haven't seen one of that description around here
Got it! Thanks. Not in my dictionary.
good, glad you found it dofith
post it in the community website, flosey!
Some words in my dictionary aren't being allowed. Like quat. Annoying!
I asked to be taken off that list jilli - but the lady said she'd contact spca (or whatever is here) in the morning
there are lots like that, dofith :-/
change last letter dofith
why don't you like the list?
dofith, are you familiar with morewords.com? you can enter first 2 letters of a word and dashes for number of letters in the word
we were getting so many Jilli, sometimes 20 and more
in one day
I get them all in one email, just takes a minute to scan them.
once a day.
nbt :)
Now for a banana and milk :)
yes, we could have gone that way but seemed we were deleting all anyway!
good for you, jilli
fireworks
YAY anike!!!
wtg anike
I have a feeling this is a toughie.
I've been at it since 10: with 32 to go
TY. I did use lickety for the last 30 or so jill but when I did I realised that the words weren't that hard. My mind just wasn't playing the game today.
55 to go no list yet
Any clues needed before I go?
Well, I suspect that's my fate tonight -- mind gone blind, lol!
I'm seeing lots of phantoms though.
thanks anike but think I'll head off to bed, last 31 will do in the morning
You can do it, jill
oh, eventually, anike, if there's time!
Well, I had better go and do some work. Catch you all tomorrow. Happy babbling
bye anike
bye anike!
brb
aha, finally getting the pa words, down to 24
back again -- nice banana!
down to 6 and cant see them so I'm off to bed, will get them in the morning
well done, flosey -- have a good sleep! Missed you at bridge!
goodnight jilli, seems there are several players online, perhaps lurking
thanks jilli - don't want to come back until I know I can stay awake and at least halfway alert!
this is usually a quiet time
would rather see Geo enjoy a game with Paul
that's nice of you!
lol, keeps things happier here! he gets frustrated when I make glaring mistakes
but so do I!
goodnight now, may see you here tomorrow
don't we all! I made a stupin one tonight when we were playing against Prem and Jeff. Had the right plan but made a muddle of it.
oh, just have to tell you about William's quick visit for Father's day - they came over Saturday afternoon and left after breakfast Sunday - but
goodnight flosey!
phant parsnip
he had been taking a few steps at home but when he got here he just started walking all over, it was too funny for words
I saw that too, josh, lol!
yes, you said that -- and it totally exhausted everyone, right?
17 left, still no list
nice, josh
i can feel the list calling me, though
I can feel my bed calling me!
i'm not usually one to keep the bed waiting
but it's not very often that i actually get sleepy to the point of being forced to go to bed
phant -- latrine
over halfway -- now I can head for bed -- goodnight all!
night jillie
jilli
*poof*
Hello Night babblers, or should I call you babblers of the night? (for me anyway)
Or maybe I shoudl say hello stealth babblers?
Stealth babbling sounds better. Good morning, red.
hmmmm, am I a stealth babbler? it's only 3.44pm here
Hi Haz. I'm up earlier than normal so it does seem very night like here.
however, I think it is your mid morning or so?
sandy it is 3:44 am here!
It's just about 8.45 here.
what are you doing up at that hour?
So still regular morning.
I am going running in about an hour, I had to eat something. very hot here as soon as the sun comes up. already 23 C in the dark...
That's hot!
red, what temp in the heat of the day?
not as hot as it will be.
about 35 sandy, but its normal for us. I like it but not to run in .
Ok, I do not believe there are 7 g words from the G there on the right.
If you stare at it hard enough you'll get two that look like an approximation of staring hard.
THanks Haz, NOW, I believe there are 7 and I have 6!
I'm in the same boat.
Congratulations on the Cancer walk, BTW Haz, what a neat thing to have in the night!
Thanks, red, it made it quite pleasant to walk in, nice and cool.
We started at 10 pm and because it stays light here so long in the summer, it was almost 11 by the time it got dark.
Oh I am jealous of the light that long! we usually get dark around 8. thats wonderful.
We make up for it in the winter when it's dark by 4.30 pm!
true. plus, you get (shudder) snow.
But it really is nice in the summer, it feels like coming out of hibernation. We had much more snow this winter than usual - and perhaps as a consequence, flowers are later but spectacular in bloom.
Nice, but you may keep the snow. I am not good in cold weather, especially if it is slippery.
You're right, it's nice to look out, but it can be horrible to try and get around.
ah, had to run and put rugs on horses it is starting to rain here - red we have those temps here in summer and I wouldn't be running in that either- you are keen obviously
Sometimes I do miss the "Christmas scene" from my Childhood, but not too often.
Sandy, I am losing some weight, so very keen at the moment!
no snow here ever
good for you red!
We don't usually get a great deal of snow, unlike parts of the States and Canada, but this year was exceptional.
I remember it being very cold too, from FM.
have been in snow but never seen it falling - Idream of that one day
Nice that you have beautiful flowers to compensate!!!
Snow falls completely silently, it can take you by surprise.
and yes Haz, my daughter was in UK over xmas and drove to Edinborough in a blizzard - they saw lots of abandoned cars
I know, I don't understand the technicalities of it, but this year the blossom on everything is really heavy.
It is amazing how you can go to sleep and the world is one way and wake up and suddenly, voila, its all sparkly white and seems that a lot fo snow muffles sound too...
I love rain, cold , hail., wind etc and I hate the heat but we do have some gorgeous weather here and lots of it
Edinburgh is beautiful at any time, it looks spectacular in snow - but with cobbled streets, it can get dangerous.
Yes, snow does have a muffling effect, but the cotton wool squeak when you walk in it is very strange.
Red, that is what Diana said she was entranced with the beauty of it- even though she had already lived in England for a year and has been to Switzerland and France
Edinburgh is just lovely. I was a student there for 3 years, and I still take a deep breath every time I go back.
I like to look, but hate to try to move in it. it snowed once this year here, btu only for about 10 minutes. we are just too far into the tropical region, which is ok.
I am so organised this afternoon, horses feed is in the stables and they are now rugged , the fire is set to light and I have a yummy stew already in the pot
Sandy, that sounds so good. I am so unorganizsed today i fear not much will get done.
highly unusual for me
This would be a good time for the Australian Organised Woman of the Year judges to turn up.
Indeed, perhaps we can award her the prize, as she will beat out the Americans as well...
I admit, I haven't been devoted to the bookwork today
On that note, Happy Organisation. and I shall be off to attempt to lose one more pound!
the only downer was that one of the roosters decided it was the day to GET ME
Have a lovely snow free day everyone!
Organised babbler of the day? There's bound to be fierce competition for the annual award.
Bye red, enjoy your day, however disorganised or otherwise it may be.
have fun running red
I told Bruce to chop it's head off - Iam sick of looking over my shoulder for a charging rooster
Poultry for tea?
hmmm maybe tomorrow nite - it is so scary, the rooster is huge
Do you have to hang it for a period of time?
no we DON'T !! the roosters have chased away three of our egg laying hens - gang rape!! especially from the one called 'Roger"
Good evening all
hi Lynx
Hello, lynxxx.
Did Ata ever get to see her birthday icon?
hellloooo :)
I see you still have that pic of you looking very fit
There she is!
Happy UnBirthday Ata!
Good morning, Ata, and belated happy birthday!
happy belated birthday Ata
thank you thank you!!
thank you for your lovely card, Haz and La Glitteratina!!
You are very welcome. I knew you'd like it, especially since it featured a kennel.
yes :D
it didn't have very impressive wall coverings though
did it have a lovely dirty paw print on it too?
happy birthday Ata! on phone
nooo, it was a very clean kennel
Ah, but you couldn't see inside the kennel, I'm sure it was beautifully appointed.
I remember the words to that pa tv show from years ago pa pa where do you roam - pa pa far far from home, you're a fast gun for hire you're the calling wind - a soldier of fortune is the man called pa....
I would hope so :)
I will be very pleased if you check out my birthday icon for you Ata. I will be pleased to change it back - everyone thinks it is me!
LOL!! no, you've got to keep it!!! :P
it IS lynxx , she is too shy to admit it!
If that doesn't put you off JB, nothing will!
off to change back to Stew
I think she had been drinking that day- it's the look in her eye!
looooool. Stew is good too <3
too many black russians
and I don't mean that in the biblical sense
My non-word today is atlatl - where that came from in my brain is anyone's guess, but it isn't in the grid...
Sandy - It was John Barrowman, one of Ata's favs
I love that word
You wouldn't get Imran (another favourite) looking like that.
methinks the lady doth protest toooo much- we all have our foibles Lynx
Ata, what did your husband get your for your birthday that you didn't want?
oh! LOL!
I asked him for a new second-hand drysuit and he got me a hot air balloon flight. remember I get travel sick even looking at transport ...
Dear goodness.
(1) what is a drysuit? (2) that sounds like fun
it's for diving
Are you going to go on it...think of the photos!
no, cos I spend my time on balloons throwing up!
diving? we call it a wetsuit- and I have one!
drysuits are very different to wetsuits lol
drysuits keep you dry in the water
oh no Ata! I have never been in a hot air balloon
wetsuits keep you warm in the water, we love snorkling and have them for that
so do drysuits :) warm and dry!
I have never heard of a 'drysuit' I will have to google that one
So what is the vital difference?
I have *thinks* about 4 or 5 different length and thickness wetsuits. I really don't need any more!
Mind you, the chance of me ever needing either is about zero.
drysuits are a big waterproof thing you step into and zip up, you wear normal clothes / fleece and can just step out of them when you finish diving
notice hw I was quiet, I thought a dry suit was some kind of airing cabinet for drying clothes
I googled it - are they extra tight around the neck? and do they really keep you dry? and are they easier to put on?
lynxxx, you and I can just be interested observers.
yes they keep you 100% dry. they are quite tight round the neck, they have to be, though no worse than a decent wetsuit / semidry suit. Easier? Depends LOL
wow I must look at them next time i am in the dive shop
do they make you extra floaty or do you wear a weight belt?
not really for snorkelling though, only scuba.
you have less weight than wearing a full wetsuit, but you still have some
aah, i don't scuba but sister and husband do
I must say, we get a lot of large white pointers around our coast since the whaling station closed down many years ago
Dog pointers?
Or signs?
not really but they like dogs
sharks!!
sharks
Ah! Now I understand.
I had visions of large white dogs staring out at sea.
loooool
Sandy - what was that suburb where you lived/went to school.Apple?????
the white pointers would be hoping they would go for a swim
applecross
They would be trained to bark and point at anything untoward. I think it's an id4 to be thought about.
Speaking of balloons and dogs, I finally watched 'Up'.
the helicoptors have recorded some HUGE sharks swimming along our beautiful beaches in the last few years
similar to 'Jaws'
But not plastic?
My brother and are off to meet a distant sortof relative tonight who is over from the West. I say sortof as my father was a bastard who was given to a family who immigrated to there in the late 20s...therefore not really related
not plastic, unfortunately
very unplastic!
lynxx, how interesting
That was the saving grace of Jaws for me. I could tell that the shark was plastic so it wasn't so frightening.
Do you have many attacks over there Sandy?
when we went to America, we did the universal studio tour and I patted thatshark
morning all
Good morning, sprite.
We have had more in the last few years - One man was killed at one of our fav beaches in view of lots of people having breakfast at a cafe overlooking the beach
morning Sprite
hey Haz, how did you walk go?
hey Sprite!
hi sprite!
That would be horrific
Sprite, it went really well, thanks. 1500 of us did it, and it was fun. I've written a little bit about it in my profile (underneath the gloat about Graeme McDowell)
I believe it was, he was dragged from the water but it was too late - it bit his leg off and he bled out
hehehe, just read it. You are right to gloat. And am glad the walk went so well. You did it!
I know. Almost 19,000 steps, according to my pedometer.
argh sandy, so gruesome. Poor man and family.
wow Haz, very Tolkien. The road went on, endlessly...
it was he was well known and a father of one of my daughter's friends - devestating
Better get going, bye for now
seeya soon lyn
Bye lynxxx, hope you enjoy the get together.
bye lyn, have a good evening
too bad the dutch for peanut isn't valid. Pinda.
I shall have to take before and after pics of the pup today. Big trim this afternoon
hi Ata
I did say hi earlier on, spritey! :)
Big trim by professional?
yep!
Relief all round, then.
I didn't, I think, or I did not see you. Glad to see you though.
oh yes great relief!
hola!
Haz, have you read any of the Amelia Peabody books by Elizabeth Peters?
Hello, kje!
No, I haven't, Ata.
my mom loves those amelia peabody books
am re-reading a lot of them, and it just occurred to me that I'm sure you'd enjoy them
they are very very tongue-in-cheek-ly funny
I like the name Amelia Peabody - she sounds interesting without knowing anything about her.
I must keep an eye out for them.
she's a Victorian egyptologist with a mad family. and lots of cats
So, she's quite ordinary, really...
back again. Giving succor to some of my depressed friends. How does it fgeel to be 21(lol), ATA?
you would definitely approve of Amelia. She comes out with all sorts of random pronouncements about tidy homes and all sorts of things. Very like you really :)
A tidy home is a happy home. She sounds like my kind of woman.
jumping in for a couple of minutes.
hi ruby!!
Hello, ruby.
hi rubyfoo
hello sprite and haz and ata! the wind has finally quit, now if it gets over 15C, I'll be very happy. DH is being a good boy.
hey kje!
hello kje
just read back - LOL ata and haz
hey sprite! how are you? i was just thinking about you this wekend
hi ruby!
have you read those books, kje? or just your mother?
do you know what "faire un la5"? It means standing somebody up for a date! hahah
and having red eyes is "la5 russe"
my mom - she thinks they are funny
Now, does me possibly having the same tastes as kje's mother make me discerning or just plain old?
my mom and older sis, both... they read loads of mysteries... they also have this series they read about cats and mysteries... and the whole alphabet ones
to me, haz, you're just a kid!
Think very carefully before you answer...
that is sweet :) Am ok, working on something very painful in therapy and taking my time about it, but still feeling we are going in the right direction. Knees almost healed too! And about to go to podo therapy... a professional foot fetish lady, I presume. For the loss of feeling in my feet. If she can help with that, I will be really going to be much better soon.
haz - I'll just start calling you mom... or is it mum over there?
like ata (uh oh, pb?)
professional foot fetish - LOL!
yay yay spritey!!
Probably mum, but remember that I'm just about always right.
I'd say, Haz, you will be you, now and forever. No other labels.
like most mums then... can be an annoying trait in a mum
yeah that is what my kids say too
Amelia is also very bad at cooking, is always right, and organises everyone in sight
But it's great, kje, the older your children get, the more they're prepared to admit that you might have a bit of sense about you.
moms everywhere are amzingly the same... it's like some kind of secret initiation where you all get the same rules
but then my mother gave me a huge compliment recently - she was telling me how much she'd learned from everything I'd done that she'd never dreamed she could. I was overcome!
aaaawww - that is great ata!
lovely, ata!
isn't it!!
That's lovely, Ata - let's face it, we all have to be prepared to keep learning.
such a thing had never even occurred to me!
I think you do feel a huge sense of responsibility for ensuring that your children end up as decent human beings and it's such a relief when they do end up being normal and admirable adults.
oh Ata that is so special
it is now 0414, i have been awake since 0236... this is going to be a long day
I'm not sure she'd admit I was normal ....!
very true, Haz
normal is so over-rated
normal doesn't exist
There's usually a tense period (teenage years!) when you fear that they'll never make it to adulthood and you might just see out your days in prison.
maybe at least not psychopathic :P
brb
I am in that period and have some days when I think exactly that... and then they surprise me by giving me a hug or saying something wise and then I know they will come out ok
I prefer normal to strange. Am I abnormal?
no just a bit strange
A bit like Amelia. That'll do me.
think I might like those books too. Will see if I can get them
kje, will you be able to get back to sleep or is it too late?
must be off now, bye all, have a good day. Kje, maybe a little nap in the afternoon to see you through the day?
i have a friends daughter who is going through that phase at 18... use to be so much fun to do things with her, but lately i kinda want to slug her
See you later, sprite.
well, haz... I am now drinking a cup of coffee... so suspect that has sealed it for me
bye sprite! hagd...
Oh dear. Stomach pump?
never
would be such a waste of delicious joe
That's true.
since i do not have to work today, i decided to just start the day early - am already on my 2nd load of laundry
That's not so bad if you don't have to be in work.
What woke you up? Was it the lure of a new grid?
my sis is up from mexico, so we will hang later... going to the kimball and lunch
kimball is an art museum in fort worth, tx
I'm glad you explained, I thought you were going to play some type of table football.
all the tea i drank just before bed woke me up... what goes in must come out...
See, your mother probably told you years ago about not drinking before bedtime.
If you'd only listened to her!
LOL - man, you are SUCH a mom
back :)
I know, I can't help it.
my mom also use to say to make sure you are wearing clean underwear cuz you might be in an accident
like... whoever thought THAT was why you should wear clean undies...
i think some virtues should speak for themselves
but will admit, when I fell and broke my ankle and had to call the ambo while lying in the driveway... I did regert not having undies on - LOL
stomping around upstairs, uh oh! see you later
bye ruby
My mother had a neighbour who had, let's say, less regard for cleaning and laundry than she did. She once confided in my mother that she had been having incontinence problems, had been having to change undies frequently. However, she had been to the doctor, had got tablets which had cured the problem. As proof, she was wearing undies for the third day and still no problems....
LOLOL - OMG!
How my mother managed not to be sick is a mystery.
Phone...
even when i was an intern and worked 36 hours straight, in the morning before finishing those last 12 hours, i had to change into clean undies and socks under my used scrubs... otherwise the day was not good
carried them with me in my book bag... such is the plight of an intern
same as on really long flights
yes... the long flight thing is tougher though.... no room in those tiny bathrooms to do anything as I hate touching anything in there
ick I know
And back.
how's La Glitterata today?
She's being very quiet. Just had to check location as there were no snores to give the clue.
in defense of moms - i did lay on the cot in the emergency room hoping they would not cut off my yoga pants... one really should not have to worry about such things when in dire pain...
no snores? no snuffling and paw arranging?
Not a thing. Silence. Paw Arranging has been done.
ahhhh. yes, that must be done on early on
She's possibly formulating her plan for the day.
this thing is slowing down
di5 - like limbaugh's di5 heads... why would anyone think it would be good to be called a di5 head
*sigh* I just wish I could get NBT. My day isn't right till then
i am blocked from nbt by that lower o
contemplating it now
me too
I have them.
found them!
mispelled playful mammal?
why can't ostlers ostle?
I think the infamous robotic ending had something to do with it.
very deep question, ata
They used to be able to ostle until it got to work.
ostloid ostlers
ata - our adventurous traveller - have you ever been to the galapagos?
noooo, I'd love to though
me too - have been looking into tours... they are not cheap
and no independent travel there allowed i guess
Going to take a break. Back shortly.
later haz
bye Haz!
I thinkyou can go there indepently, but probably as expensive with full-fare flights etc
mornin' all. just got woken up by a car alarm *grumble grumble*
hi nb
hi NB
What appealed to you about the Galapogos, Kje?
how are you NB I have been wondering
oh, very well, thank you, Sandy :) still cleaning up after the housewarming party - there are literally sequins -everywhere- ;)
lol, where are you staying?
and are you feeling happy?
well, a friend of mine was in need of a new flatmate, after his old one selfishly got married, so I moved in with him a few days ago. And yes...I am feeling happy, or at least a lot happier than I was. Thank you so much for your concern :)
Stay happy and stay safe!
my fingers are crossed for both of those ;)
and Leo? Is that over officially now? Any hope?
no way, Ata. I found myself trying to forgive him, and I thought - why am I doing this? If he's going to cheat six months after I give up my family and my university place to be with him, then he's not the type of person I want to be with
sadness :( but good for you! onwards and upwards!!
every hurdle in life serves to make us stronger
and get a copy of Floodlight - there are so so many day courses / evening courses that could fill the gap between now and getting to uni, if that's what you wish still
uni would be great
indeed it would, but it's mostly a matter of money. I can't afford to be smart ;) I can just about afford to live.
there are always a lot of free courses around / heavily subsidised. You just need to find them
in Aus we have a student loan thing and students can also get an allowance from the government while they are studying ( like welfare)
that's true, Ata, but it's balancing the cost of the course (even if free or subsidised) with the cost of living - I can't afford the time, either. Believe me, I've looked at this from every angle...just need to wait until I have a little (or quite a lot) more to my name
I'm sure. Just don't forget what you wanted to do, things are possible somehow
so that means that everyone has the opportunity to be educated - most students also have part time work to subsidise the allowance
it's not quite that nice over here, sandy
I don't know how it is in the States
I get the feeling a university education will set you back a lot in the US - I'm not sure about grants or loans
longer courses over there too
there are goct as well as private grants based on need or ability and student loans are fairly easy to get
Some people I know have looked for scholarships on the internet and found them and won them
I know that education in the States is very expensive
i grew up lower middle class i would say, and between grants, my work monies, and scholarships, i got my bachelor degree only having to take out $3000 in loans.. and those were mostly so that i could apply to med school and travel to interviews, so had to take time off work
how expensive itis completely depends on whether you are in a state or private school
well done there kje
my parents were not able to pay for any of mine, so i was on my own
*sigh* my family were pretty well off. I'm not enjoying this whole 'reality' deal ;)
My daughter is an architect and she has two uni degrees - she has a debt of about 40,000 and is interest free and the government takes a little bit of her wages each pay
and they will not help?
not enough to worry her
i owe more now, sandy - med school is not cheap
and too heavy of a schedule to work while going to med school
sadly that's part and parcel of the whole "dead to us" thing ;)
med school would be expensive- are you in private practice?
no, i stayed in academia... i will owe until i die.. then my life insurance can pay it off - lol
that is bad NB - I must say I will accept any choices from my kids as long as it makes them happy and that they are not serial killers
maybe they will be more accepting as time goes on
that sucks, nb... but you can still do it - it will just take creativity, sacrifice, and hard work... i went back at age 24, med school at 29... residency at 33... can be done at any age
it's just frustrating, Sandy. Well, it's sad. It's not like I chose to be gay...but it's a culture thing
er, that is, my parents' decision is a culture thing. Not being gay ;)
I have many gay friends and worked for a gay doctor for years so I don't have a problem with it. my kids know them all and realise that they are decent human beings
In fact, I wonder if there are any straight men left in Sydney! lol
lol, Sandy! If things just get too dire, I'll run away to Sydney then ;)
You will love it!
One of my friends did just that - he ran away to Sydney and he said it was the first time in his life he felt like he belonged somewhere
He had a beautiful house here in Perth with a dungeon! He showed it to me and said I was the only female to see it - it was amazing I must say - he was an architect and it was so well done
well I must admit, Sandy, I've done much the same - although I moved to Soho from a famously gay-friendly city, just being out from under my parents' shadow makes me realise how well I fit in here. Might as well be native!
oooo I want a dungeon!
LOL ata, it truly was amazing
a dungeon?! that's crazy..awesome! wouldn't go for it myself though - our punishment as kids was always getting sent down to the basement, which I hated. Until I fell down the steps and broke my leg - trips to the basement stopped after that ;)
LOL NB I do realise that dungeons are not the general thing
what does he use it for, Sandy?
*can imagine*
I'm gonna assume he does what I would do if I had a dungeon...dress up in a suit of armour and clank around, pretending to swordfight.
I'd never thought of that!
***I s'pose you could do that too***
LORIKINS!!!!
G'd Morning Babblers! ***Where's FM hiding at THIS time.....***
mAta Hari!
You hold her down while I get the sticky tape to keep her here.
I think FM is conspiring with the infamous robotic ending to have a terrible vengeance on all of s.
us, even. Look - they've attacked my ability to type!
I said to myself "self, I won't chat until I have SBT", and so I had instant permission. :) FM's become very shifty lately, she seems to sense when the weapons are armed.
desperate times, Haz
Hazaurus rarely makes typos. Clearly things are not good. ***DefCon 3?***
We'll know it's the end if I start losing my ability to use correct grammar.
*watches out for apostrophe misuse*
The end times are nigh.
And do tell, what are SBT and why should the reaching of that glorious state be the key to you chatting?
Some Blank Tiles. No lofty goals for me.
Sadly Blank Tiles
I prefer to be a successful failure.
ooooo! I should show you all my latest mystery
Some Blank Tiles? But that tells us nothing.
How are we to follow your progress with a vague estimate like that?
there. look at my icon and tell me what it is!!
How about SBTBWTPOFIMS?
Some blank tiles but with the possibility of filling in more soon. That's snappy and informative.
Yowsa! Lord 'tunderin' dyin' that's a BIG acronym. ***waits for dumbing down of said acronym***
That's one very ugly cat.
but what *is* it? I found it in a local spoil heap full of Victorian- 40s china / pottery
lolol, that practically rolls off the tongue. ***Grabs several sheets of paper to write it down***
I like to think that it covers most angles, Lori.
Good heavens. That Tom cat lost the fight. Poor kitty.
It's obviously been broken off from its body. Eye missing, ear missing. That cat's been in a fight.
it's *crying* why on earth made a crying pottery cat!
What size is it?
someone suggested a cane top
about 10cm
Take it to the Antique Road Show. The uglier it is, the more it's worth.
Too impractical for a cane top.
That would make sense. Being a cane top, I mean.
it is hollow
One would never use that material for a cane top.
You could cover it with your hand and not have to look at it.
If it's hollow, then you need the rest of it
it's very odd, isn't it!
(Wondering how Lori acquired an intimate and frightening knowledge of cane tops)
A quick Google suggests that cat lamps were in vogue during that time
***Declines to expand on the grounds that it may incriminate me***
cat lamps!
Merely a suggestion, but as a child I know I saw one at my Uncle's and I then Googled and it would seem they were a fashion.
even crying cat lampS??!!
fireworks
Yes mAta Hari.
Congratulations sandy!
yay sandy
***dungeons and crying cats, Babble never fails to be versatile***
thank you thank you (takes a bow)
Well done, sandy.
Encore, encore!
Crying cats in a dungeon must kick up a fair racket.
so what *does* he use the dungeon for??
Is that where they got the id4 for those wretched vuvuzelas?
maybe you could make the shed cats a dungeon extension
well ata , I could tell you but then I would have to kill you
***Googles vuvuzelas***
He had a great big wheel on the wall with manacles hmmmm
Oh those!!!! ***non soccer fan***
among many other things
ahhh .... so I was thinking about right then :P
luckily, I am much too innocent to even imagine
well hello, lporiP!
TO!!!! <------ Yes, I'm alive. :)
hey all! and I have to rush off to work; don't know what made me log on
hi TO!
We can quit Babble any time we want TO. It's non addictive
I can but I don'
hi haz ata sandy and all
I can but I don't believe you Lori
Hello TO!
hi Temple
Sorry for the delay. I was buying cardboard boxes. My life is that exciting.
Now I have finished I don't know what to do.... dishes I guess
Sandy's life is about as exciting as mine.
How do deal with that pace Haz? I thought I was on the cutting edge, but buying cardboard boxes? I can't keep up with that.
rofl
Dishes? ***ponders what that would be***
I have choices (can watch television)
dishes?
*randomly types in the missing ***you
There are companies who make boxes and sell them. I like to support them. You never know when you might need a box.
do you get commission from them too?
There are companies that make vacuums and sell them. I say "tough noogies".
we have a whole store devoted to them. the container store. storage of all kinds
rains rine
Well, let's see if I can get some. The website is called simplyboxes.co.uk and a nice man spoke to me when I made a mistake with the order.
James. Always ask to speak to James.
uh oh, it is after 7 and i like to be at my desk at 7.
Good morning to you too, Nono ;)
The desk can wait, TO. We're more interesting than a desk. We buy boxes.
Hello Nono.
you surely are. but it's time. happy babbling
Toodle-oo TO!
Buy boxes? I've never known anyone to buy them rather than thieving them from supermarkets.
Have a good one TO. Laters!
My younger daughter is moving home after being away for 5 years. Rumour has it that she's acquired some stuff that needs to be shifted.
of course i should try bringing laptop and sitting in car hoping for wi fi
ok , i have decided to eat dinner see you all tomorrow have fun and stay away from dungeons
G'd morning Nono........ :p
So, we're buying nice flat pack boxes with sticky tape and bubble wrap etc.
Bye sandyloo.
Happy dining sandy.
bye sandy and all
I doubt she's acquired MUCh Haz, perhaps 1 or 2 boxes worth.....
That's what you'd think, Lori, with her having spent 4 of those 5 years being an impoverished student.
3 boxes per year at least then!
You'd think she'd have had to sell every last thing in order to afford her last tin of baked beans, but no.
Clearly, we've been too generous.
Obviously. If she didn't have to pawn anything there was not enough Tough Love involved.
So, I've ordered 10 large boxes and we're getting them shipped home, because although I'm sure my little Clio would be willing, I can't see it holding 10 large boxes...
I'm seeing the error of my ways all the time, Lori.
As a child I bet you even allowed her to sleep inside the house, didn't you .....
how's Uniquickity?
That's where it all went wrong.
Uni is quite happy (so far) with the new job, liking the variety. The old soul has good karma.
yayyyyy
The kids keep mumbling something about the basement being dark. I just don't get it.
Have you had much chance to talk to her lately Ata? I know she enjoys it so.
Tell them that they clearly haven't been eating enough carrots.
not much :(:(
Exactly Hazaurus! Finally someone who understands.
Absolutely. I don't want you to make my mistakes in treating them with kid gloves.
:( Ata I know she hasn't inherited my "turtle until it goes away" genes, so it just must be that busy thing.
Gruel and carrots are all a child needs to face the world and see in the dark.
Haz is so horrid to her daughters that they insist on coming back home!
Define dark. There are many definitions. Those kids aren't fooling me!
I know! I thought I'd managed beautifully and then, wham, she comes back.
'Tis true. Something went terribly wrong.
Spangle is looking for a walk. Honestly, between buying boxes and walking dogs, when do I get some free time?
You're so overworked. You need help. A personal assistant to at least buy the boxes, if nothing else. Fatigue is the enemy.
FM claims to be my PA. Where is she?
hmmmm apparently my cat thinks it's her dinner time. how odd
She's so besotted with that garden and those birds, you can't get a decent day's work out of her any more.
Hiding as always. ***sigh***
outrageous behaviour
Good help is hard to find.
That should be one of the improvements to babble that Dr-G asked about. FM to be permanently on call.
I mean really, her and her needs. What about Haz?
***Not feeding the cat immediately can only go in one ugly direction....***
Absolutely. Those birds and those flowers can look after themselves.
she's now scratching the chair in protest
FM?
*** snicker ***
Silverclaw!
Ah! That makes more sense.
I know FM likes to eat, but that's a bit over the top for her.
Right, I'd better get Spangle moving. I'll finish this thing eventually. SBTSNBTBWCA.
bye dear! have fun!
What do you mean, you don't know what that means?
Enjoy 'yer walk. Laters Hazaurus.
Some Blank Tiles Some Not Blank Tiles But Who Cares Anyway.
Byeeeee!
I guess I should go too. HObbit is off for a trim!
Happy trimming! Later gator.
reading the chat, you all are too funny!

bye Ruby
hi Merk
nice grid!
Oh no, Ruby, I've missed you ... bye!
bye scrabbler
bye Scrabbler
not much to miss lol
I wouldn't say that ... I've enjoyed the times you were here.
I am still here, but the Babble Expert Add Box is not working for me.
So what is your opinion on the grid today?
I am up to 56, but am wondering how to find 133 more.
quite easy at first Merk but with 120 words I'm not progressing very fast now
Then I feel good; I have 68 and it is becoming harder word by word.
Hi again all - just got back
Hi Nancy
Hi NB. How are you? Have you found a new home?
hi NB!
I am furiously drinking my coffee down, hoping for help.
coffee! I haven't even made any yet!
Affirmative Scrabbs, had the housewarming party two days ago ;) Life is definitely looking up at the moment - just got back from collecting my blood results and it looks like I need to throw another party
I just finished my first mug of tea and will go make more.
sounds good NB. I'm so glad things are coming around for you
thank you, Nono :) well, I'm so relieved...I think living here is going to be fun.
ok now my mind is on coffee...... better go make some bbs
I am proud of you, NB, doing these things for yourself!
Boom, boom, boom, I hear the nearing thunderstorm.
thank you, Scrabbs :) but a friend (on here, actually!) advised that I should go get checked out, so I can't take credit for that one. And oh, I love thunderstorms!
Testing is critical with any change of partners or suspected exposure.
So Nef said ;)
Stay safe in all ways.
..and at ALL times.
well, that shouldn't be hard, with so many people being good enough to look out for me :)
morning all, help with o on bottom pls

(((((everyone))))) I feel so loved!
dear, theres NEVER a bad excuse for a party. ;)
ohhhh so not in bad taste but maybe shorten the name a little it won't fit on the invites lol

go for the party, NB, but change the name to: Now I am Free and Available :)
but what kind of cake would that require, I wonder. *wicked grin*
LOL Peri. Oh man.

im full of brilliant ideas. ;)
And what a great age--almost 4. My favorite ages = 2.5-7---sweet + funny!

well, I'm off out to celebrate with a few friends - as we know, there's no better time to start drinking than the middle of the day ;) especially since I'm back to work tomorrow... take care, everyone!!
nice news nb, glad things are turning out so nicely foryou!

clothes would be good NB!
clothes. i recommend them.

HUGS> NB I am glad to see you here. (HELLO EVERYONE)
hi Herin
Back. NB, t-shirt + shorts + sandals.
Hi herin
nipple ring is no big deal. ;)
103 words, totally mired down
I am up to 83 and struggling.
Actually, I bought a really cute pair of board shorts the other day. I understand that on a man of average English height, they're supposed to be actual shorts, but on me they end just below the knee. Might be too casual though...
thats about where I hit the wall Merk but there are more there I promise
Why "too casual?" Isn't this a party?
Waves
NBT finally.
nothing is too casual for a party unles your going to the palace
It might be a little too close to being beachwear... We should go to the beach. We all have the day off! Oh sweet, we should go to the beach!
great idea NB!
its your party, you can beach-short if you want to. ;)
Ack Beach. Vampire in summer
Really, Herin?? I love the beach! Better ring round friends quickly. I know my flatmate is in; I proposed the idea and he yelped and went to dig out his "swimmies" (his word, not mine)..
Hi All - help please - last one 1st la5/10?
Going to list. 103 to go.
Hi Mari. I will help, if I can.

A semi-precious stone
Like the stone but change the middle consonant
Bon journo!

Those are the la5's I have
Hi wht + Judi

hello, Judi! Beach it is ;) but I will leave the white swimwear at home this time..
thanks a million Nono - got it

Dan I love that pic
Dan, it will be tough. All you will think about is the baby.

have a good day/evening all
Congrats Mari!!
bye
*pauses with one flip-flopped foot out the door* possibly, Eva ;)
yeah it will be, but maybe tougher on mrs2bit
heh, no worries dear. just wanted to be able to say bye-bye and have a good day and all that nonsense. :)
(((hugs))) and ***smooches***
aw, same to you, Eva :) do take care!!!
enjoy!
Is Mrs 2bit also returning to work?
Dan I am on those letters tommorrow. Ok I must go climb into bed
bye NB and have a great time at the beach!
nitey nite Herin, sleep well
mrs2bit plans to stay home until early September
definitely in heavy de6 about what will happen then :-)
Night and loves
gnight herin
Yes, having a baby makes one seriously think about who shall best care for your child.
128 words and still afloat, or is it asea?
And it changes one's priorities.
Both work, Merk.
NB - I've been too busy to chat lately. Have you and Leo parted ways?
right ...
definitely true, Scrabbs. We will figure it out, I'm sure
Yes, they did, Judi. NB found a new home.
Ah. Thanks. I'm so out of touch. In real life, you can miss a few episodes of the soap opera and not really miss anything. Not so in Babble land.
98/91 and I need breakfast. BBL.

morning Car.
*passes big gulp of coffee to car* Mornin, girl!
ahh, thats NBS for me!
hi Car
ty, my friends, glad to be finished ... it was a tad bit sticky today, but certainly not pulling teeth like some.
Thank you judi...I am out of cream and until I can get my kids to stop watching Star Wars I am without!
Have a good rest of the day and see you tomorrow ... back to babysitting my granddaughter.
toodle-loo
have a great day Merk, see you tomorrow
have fun Merk
Chain the little buggers to the furniture and run out, Car!
Lynxxx, are you Lynxxx on Ravelry?
First chat I read is chaining buggers to furniture ... interesting!
Judi...shamefully I admit that I thought about it...the coffee shack is right down the street...but they are only 5 and 7...it isn't right.
That makes one go back to read more.
Hi Mudd
Wtg, Merk, and good-bye.
lol, not very original am I Mom
That's nothing, Mudd. The other day, I came in on a discussion of how to kill one's husband.
I thought it was original. Beats the heck out of mine.
would you care if I "friend" you on Ravelry?
That would be an attention-getter, too.
Friday night was joke night
I'm always looking for good jokes.
I don't know what that means but please do
Bring them with - just throw them in the trunk.
I'm going to lurk for awhile. Not a lot of time to babble today.
Enough of chaining buggers and throwing them in the trunk.
if you look me up under "people" I will show up, click on my name and to the left there is a link to "add to my friends"
OK
KLD1057
dofirh - you still here?
But MUDD! There is coffee involved...the first coffee of the day...so hard to resist!
dofith i mean
I suppose I should get off my rear end and get some work done. {{Hugs}} to all of you
Bye Mom! Have a great day!
bye bye Car. hope you get your cream for the coffee
mmmmmm..... pretzel M&Ms.....
bye Mom
Movie just ended! I am off to the Coffee Shack!!!

*grin*
I'm too tired for this. Night all
night dear!
hang on. Ata - please explain what a "cosmopolitan snake" is
only lives in a big city like NY or London or Tokyo perhaps?
cosmopolitan? ooo. I guess they mean well spread out, found everywhere
too funny. Off I go, byee
cosmopolitan: Botany, Zoology . widely distributed over the globe.
either that or they like cocktails
cosmopolitans=citiots in 1500 dollar suits , morning everyone
hi crossy!
ata;)))
here's a question for you - what is the green crying cat thing in my icon!!
well we know it is baked plaster or ceramic,with a heavy coat of paint and glaze,with one eye and ear missing....
I got it from an old spoil heap which is geenrally stuff from VIctorian- 1960s
and I have NO idea what it is!!
victorian era ran from the 1830,s to 1903,at which time she did us all a favor by finally kicking the bucket lool
eventually
if i had to hazard a rough guess it may be from one of the old porcelan dollies they used to make
I thought that too, well I can'tthink of any other use for it. But really, a snot green porcelain crying cat doll??!!!
the neck diameter looks correct and the glaze does not go to the bottom
yes ... the glaze bit struck me too. I'd have been scared to get that as a present as a kid!
just in to change icon for tomorrow
but it definatly belongs back in the spoil heap..you would be suprised what some of the early dolls were cast like
nooo I love it!!
pa 7.36 please
pa7,36 have gun will travel
there is one before that
the first one I need
that is the first one
pa8/50 is the first one, pa8/45 is the second one ru
then I don't get it
I have the pa 8/45
pa8/50 is plural of pa7/36
then lay that 8/45 on us:))
the pa8/50 change ending to prong of a fork
the name of the cowboy who is in the old cowboy tv show who had a card that read, have gun will travel
tyvm flosey
yw crossy
I need the first pa 7 flosey..

thanks bubba
wtg ru

flos? could you clue the el 7?
e + note of the scale + coniferous tree ruru.. hi all
ty aloy
thank you aloy.
done
yw.. fireworks done? congrats to ruru!!!
everyone remember to check your e-mail,dr_god wants to vamp up babble a bit and is taking suggestions;)
ooh, will have to send dr_god my new address, ty crossie
i suggested that he do like in bookworm and make the grid tiles point and click for word imput,thus seperating chog imput from word imput so we have less grid words ending up in the chog;)
hey-crossie-i get some of my best 'clues' that way!
sounds like a great idea, cross.. did he mention a timeline for these changes?
lol scribed
the monkeys would be very sad about that...
no he did not,but he is feeling guilty for ignoring us,so now is the time:)
I'd really like to see "enable" updated or another dictionary used as a base
I want to type my words!
good idea aloy
im sure the point and click would be an add-on kind of coding beachbabble and the box would still be there if you still wished to type it out
Oh good... I know at Tangleword, you could mouse or type... both inputs worked
as i do not think he would tear the whole thing down just for that
You will be able to type and click (or touch for iPad users) on the letters on the new site. ;)
speak of the devil:))) howdy dr g
Cooooool.
hi Dr_God! nice to see you
hi dr god!
i didn't get an email :-(
oooh, I just got an ipod, maybe it will work better! (all hail dr. god!)
i thought i felt i was being watched..and that bacon incident was not my fault dr g lool
Hi Dr_God... Nice to meet you... :-)
*thought I heard choirs of angels*
but i vote for the new dictionary
there is a new site up now other than www.playbabble,com??
this is still the best game ever! although Tilt To Win is a kick on my ipad/pod/phone!
Not yet, crosshair. I'm workin' on it.
i cannot wait to play babble on my i-phone4;))
your a good man dr g,crossy sends you bacon blessings..
Thanks, Dr. G. We'll look forward to the "new and improved" Babble.
indeed
and please no more words from dead languages lol..darn sanscrit dictionary is a pain to find..out of print you know....
*giddy with delight and torn with need to actually work for a change*
ooh.. just had an idea.. the SOWPODS dictionary is used internationally for Scrabble.. if that were adopted, there would be many many more words possible, but on the other hand.. more obscurity too.. h'mmm
i have forgotten how to spell firewerks lol
more words = good
whoo hoo crossy?
howdy gremlinn!
Hi
nope not yet jmc
Be careful what you wish for, Aloy!
howdy gremlinn
agreement with Scrabble is also good, for people who play both and don't want to "mislearn" words
well, since we have Babblers from many lands..
then we end up with words like quaa
quaa?
yup, gremlinn... I initially joined Babble to increase my Scrabble skills
did it work Snuffy?
that scrabble dictionary has some doozies
I play Wordsplay a lot, and a couple times I've been challenged and lost in real-life Scrabble after playing words that only work there (like "noyau")
Hint for pa8, 45 please
holy cow, noyau?
have gun will travel reads the card of a man smaan
pl the Have Gun will travel guy
and the second state in the two state solution minus an s
i used to watch the rifleman instead;)
i watched both of them
<- 5 days in a row now, fireworks with no help :)
but richard boone was way cooler
Have the gun one which is pa50
yea yea..showoff;)
whoo hoo grem!
can hear the theme song now.. riding through the west
i felt so intellectual when I learned that pa7/36 was a knight
pa7/8 was familiar from Ultima games
good name for the show then
he wore all black
that will clue it for all the WOW freaks;))
WOW?
I have so far resisted getting into WOW or any other MMORPGs
world of warcraft and other rpg gamers
*still fretting about quaa*
World of Warcraft
so is the pa8, 45 also a cowboy one?
goodness, it's been forever since I played Ultima!
o i c
as have i gremlinn,though i do love oblivion
no that one the second state in the two state solution for the middle east minus an S
and i am being really retro this month and playing arx fatalis;)
okay i am off to actually *gasp* work!
later, jmc.. hagd
now why would ye be doing a daft thing like that?
(or for the purists "actually *gasp* to work"
leaving for my month long sojourn in Africa so got to set things up before i go
to *gasply* work what no one has worked before
jmcnrick - thank you - great clue!
bbl -- maybe
lol grem *poof*
i remember when i first joined babble,i spent an hour trying to click the letters on the grid for imput..too many hours at bookworm and bookworm adventures;0
finished now with the pt of the roman robe.. off I go too to do what needs to be done.. Happy Babbling all..
I finished with a measly al4
i generally do not have to worry about finishing with a pathetic fish word..or finishing for that matter lol
Can I get a clue for the first La5/10, please?
la + AZ = ***zona

Good morning/afternoon all...
howdy red
Congrats to the Fireworkers!!!
mind your p,s and q,s red..dr_g is lurking :)) too bad,i have to tone myself down;)))
help for the right hand E, anybody?
Hmmm?
life is not fair Dan2bit, even if we expect it to be Eq___
waves as Dr G wonders whats goin on that he needs to lurk?
that one I have, red
its the only on i have so far Dan, sorry.
hello, all. dan, i have one that sounds like a girl's name, el***
aha tx guernsey
nothing red,we were just chatting on ways to make babble even better
yw
e + run ***s at the school athletic track + your driver's license is a form of **
Hmmm.
More bigger grids?
nope,lots of small ones with 15 letter words;))
el7 = same clue, replace ** at end by draw a straight l***
what could be better than this.... HI all
hi river!
I'd like more than one puzzle per day - the classic 5x5 and a giant grid where only 6+ letter words count
tx grem - that's all of em
ty gremlinn, odd to see you here.
i mean at this time!
howdy riverdance
I wasn't able to quite finish up at night like usual, so I finished in the morning
a 600 word grid of 6+ letter words???!
no, a physically larger grid, like 7x7 or 8x8 size
sounds good to me, but only on a day off work cross!!!
they were fun on Tangleword
i would need a week,a diaper and food in paste form...lol
lol crossy
oh no...
clue for el 7 pls
how about a monster grid that changes once per week in addition to this
now that i like
that sounds good
I thinks gremlinn just gave it Boo
e + run ***s at the school athletic track + draw a straight l***
i like that too, could work on it when we complete early, like that happens?
you can do the daily,then head off to the weekly..i like that
have you folk endless time to play? where am i going wrong? i need a little time to eat and wash!
gotta get up early guernsey!
catch that idea dr_g? thats a good one;))
and a monthly grid which is 15x15, and a yearly 25x25
getting used to living on 3 hours sleep a night....
lol,a bit too much gremlinn
bother. i'm useless in the mornings
yes, not ready for a yearly grid.
help with the first la 5 / 10 thought i had monkeyed everyting possible but can't get it
lol@ a yeaRly grid
la + ***zona
sorry, I havent listed yet
we could have the yearly one for Christmas
this years grid is a small one at 25,978 words...lol
a mere 26k? Pah!
crazy.
I just reached half way here anyway.
and I need to go to bed soon so i can go to work later.
the last big grid we had slowed my computer down in a big way
thanks gremlin
sounds like you need a new computer
I got 126 - trying to get to 50 left before listing but running out of steam
no list for me, I dont really have time today, my schedule this week is super bizarre and I am all off kilter!
a GRID bogs down your computer???!!
it did when I opened up the second window for the list
i'm going to leave it at half way today too. i have started a painting and i want to get on with it. bye all
how old is this computer?
it was my work computer at the time - I also had all my work programs running too - I think it went into overload
yes,if you have a ton of processes running in the background,that will do it
i se firefox tabbed browsing,so i do not have a ton of windows open
I like my grid and my list side by side when I finally list. Right now I have work and the chog side by side - see - multitasking at its best
does the latest version of any popular browser not include tabs now?
I wonder if there's a Firefox extension to view two tabs side-by-side in the same window
I think they all have tabs - problem is you cant see both at same time
I do use tabs on my second window with lickety so that I can look up morewords if needed.
you can indeed gremlinn
easy enough to open another window
you can have 2 windows,with multiple tabs
what would be the benefit to that than another window
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef ox/addon/71411/ maybe?
hola all!
I guess you would find it easier than having to drag things to the right size/position
bingo
Hi science - how are you
thanks for that gremlinn
plus, does having things in tabs as opposed to separate windows lower the overall memory use?
good HOT
indeed
adage
oops
PB for me.....what's in there today?
it probably does - I am not up on computers
thanks science - I was looking for that one
more windows open means a harder hit on its resources
snickerdoodles, sciencegeek
yes and the other two the 6 and 7 are musical terms same beginning
yum
i even go looking for earlier versions of software to ease the lode as many work perfectly fine without the bling of later releases www.oldversion.com
i go there for winzip,winrar,ad-aware and many other programs that have become freeware
I only needed that 5
it is always my first stop when setting up a new computer;)
yeah, if you only need to deal with legacy ZIPs, no need to get the modern versions of winzip
indeed gremlinn
its sad but I dont even know what that is
well,i do not go right back to 1.0,but about halfway back on any given list
but I will bet you my 17 years old daughter does
poor riverdance,i got a sub to a computer magazine and learned just enough so i never have to darken the door of some pc repair shop that just rips people off
i reccomend maximum pc magazine
thanks for the suggestion
np
al 5/10 please
nm got it
of course if you use a mac,all that info is null and void lol
those things are made for people who never want to look into a computers innards and just like to throw the thing away every 3 years for the newest model
though they are pretty things...lol
my rig looks like dr franenstein put it together in 1945 lol
thanks for the info (Oh good word in yesterdays puzzle) - time for lunch - see you all later
but it works so what more could you want
indeed
prine
oops
caught me fishing
ge 7?????
ge7 = don't expose yours in public!
nm got it
LOL
anyways,i should get in that kitchen and rattle some pans
aww,you take away all my fun gremlinn

Hello, mom and ryby
hye ruby!
Is it just me, or were France seriously overrated at the World Cup?
BR - how you be
Howdy, Ms. sciencegeek
I just finished my will.
And England, although I am English!!!!!
serious stuff
How are you BR?
tough decisions BR
I am
Not really, I mostly gave my debts to charity.
Yes the giving too wasnt bad - it the guardianship stuff I struggled with
debts or assets - lol
not by me! I can't stand Domenech; he's been a bad coach for a long time and used his old players rather than developing new ones.
France shouldn't have been in it after Henry's hand ball against Ireland!
and the English! Oy veh, whatever that means. Green is awful!
as you can see, I'm very worked up. And DH couldn't care less!
tell us how you really feel Ruby
and another thing....
what about the bad call against the US v. Slovenia?
the bad calls all blend into each other, as do all the bad sending offs!
done
cant say I have been watching the games - tried to on Sunday while cooking supper but the horns drive me crazy
I do not follow soccer -- hate violence
the horns are awful - same frequency as buzzing bees
Congrats, sciencegeek
see you all later....nap time...then work
ty br
that's what the announcers say, like abeilles!
whoohooo for science
congrats, sdcience
be well, sg
the vuvzelas really don't bother me, I don't even really notice them for some reason!
I have 10 A's left - ugh
me, too, I tune them out, struggling as I am to understand the announcers
I have 16 a's left, dancer, so there!
you always have to win ruby - lol
hahah
I don't watch soccer in between European championships and World Cups
9
who is more hated in France, ruby, Domenech or the players?
there are just too many teams to follow
Domenech first, but then they are outraged by the players' mutiny
c'est une scandale!
and what about Anelka? It was Anelka sent home wasn't it? Sympathy or dislike too?
As a Chelsea supporter, I'm a bit ashamed of Anelka's actions
he's played for about 5 teams and always gets fired! Although he's a huge talent, he's evidently a RPITA!
a French friend wrote something very right on my fb, let me copy it in here
my family in London are all rabid Chelsea supporters!
"I'm not a football fan usually, but I think this team is a disgrace to our country and when you have the honour of carrying your country's colors in front of the world, you must respect that and act as it is a true privilege. What they did was way more serious to me than throwing a tantrum like spoiled children, to me, they acted like criminals and in other days, they would have been executed for high treason for publicly exposing and spitting on our flag. I'm not particularly nationalist but I'm proud of being french and to me, these players don't deserve to carry our colors anymore."
please, I'm interested
And what's their opinion, ruby?
I absolutely agree with your friend, ata. It is a privilege to be on a national team
we disagreed over England v. US, but they hate the French team!
absolutely. I would have been tempted to fire the lot of them
We did a lot of biz in SA and, although they didn't play well, I am thrilled that they are going into the next round!
8
I wonder what Ancellotti will have to say to Anelka after the tourny?
I started out as an Italy fan but now I think Germany is wonderful and wouldn't mind if Argentina won it all!
and Capello is a jerk!
7
aside from all that, the Tour starts on the 3rd!!!!
England is just doing hilariously badly. Not as badly as the French, but that would take some doing
6
too true, ata!
countdown for dancer!!!!
I wish South AFrica would have gone through though. So so near.
didn't this bring them through?
I didn't hear what happened in the other game....
nope. Mexico and Uruguay went through
Mexico went through on goal difference
:((((
that's awful!
but they *tried* so hard, and brought joy to everyone who watched the match today
(my step-father's family are mostly S African, so I have a vested interest!)
my fave is tshabala
lala
5
he's definitely got the best name!

go dancer go!!!!!
evening everyone
hi katie
I guess I have done enough praying at the al5/10 to get FIREWORKS
hi katie!
yay dancer!!!!!
Congrats River
congrats dancer
Hi Katie How are you feeling ??
thank you, thank you - I never liked those A's
and ty for the al's
Please be careful on the footie comments as it is putting me off. I don't agree that Copello is a jerk. Best muted, like politics and religion. I'm not doing well on the grid either.
sorry
well tell us why
but isn't it spelled with an a?
much better thanks Norma I just completely forgot to balance my food in terms of dairy and then drank on top of it. It will take me a couple of days to settle down
It's OK. I might agree another time.
I think it's fun that we sometimes disagree in here!
Babble's nice cos *usually* people can disagree civilly!
often, actually....
hi ruby
Can't check the spelling as the cat is asleep on the newspaper. Is that an omen?
just for the record I agree with you pat on Capello
hi boo!
what is it with cats and newspaper?
yep there hopefully no grudges over anything said here
I didn't understand his decision to keep wives and girlfriends away from the players
ripping it up or sitting on it while you try to read?
oh ruby if you could have seen the circus last world cup it was awful. I would have banned them as well!!
Time for me to get back to work - have fun all and will see you tomorrow
it could be worse, I had a dog who, while being paper trained, used to put her front paws on the paper and, well, you can imagine the rest.....
I think it's very silly that a fortnight ago he was ENgland's saviour and now is getting so much flack. At least give him a chance
bye dance see you tomorrow
Here, my husband doesn't agree with me and war may break out soon. Fairly sure I'll win cos the cats are on my side and the dog knows who feeds him.
((dancer))
lol pat
my husband isn't interested in sports!
loool always have everything with claws on your side
((ruby))
You are coming apart at the seams Mrs Mc .... how is your groin ???
mine managed to say the f word every 30 seconds during the second half on friday
raofl, katie!
It seems much better Norma, I'm off the tablets so here's hoping :-)
from Capello to Katie's groin ...
it's a strange world ata
I keep thinking that soldiers go away for many months without seeing any friends and family because it is their job and football players want to take their whole family along. My family never came to work with me and I didn't fuss. A total ban is maybe a bid over the top but we do need them to concentrate on kicking the ball into the net.
but even prisoners get conjugal visits!
they aren't complelety banned, ruby, just before the matches
And, quite a few of them are playing with OTHER players WAGS!!!
they definitely get wives and whatnots the day after
I thought they couldn't even stay in the hotels
too funny!
it is only for a month and they all went out with their families the other day. They aren't allowed to stay in the players hotel but can have accommodation nearby
don't know ... but some of the commentators were talking about it the other day and that's what I heard!!
and then the players go walkabout?
Hand of God was 24 years ago today!
If it is true that they are NOT completely banned then I now have less respect for the fuss they made. I have just broken my own rule about not discussing controversial items here. SORRY, will shut up x
does everybody like Maradona?
lolol Pat. it's not controversial, it's only football D:
I hope that isn't controversial!
let me look up the official line!
don't worry pat it's normal chat
I think he has redeemed himself and everybody seems to love him, especially the sportswriters
and he and Messi are both short which endears them to me!
pat, you should hear us on a bad day!
Greece v Argentina is just starting on BBC 1
good night everybody!
I do read your comments but then I never finish a grid or I put the answers in the grid cos I'm an idiot.
night ruby
{{patxxx}}
gn katie!
see you tomorrow ata
Got to find some munchies. Essential for a football match. My hubbie is playing cricket hahahahahahah!
mine is BBQing, he is truely the love of my life :-)
ok, apparently ....
Capello originally banned them during the first stage of the World Cup. But then after the ALgeria match he gave them all a day off together, and pretty much all of the WAGS are out there now
My hubbie is working at home for a spell and it is more difficult than I realised. I have worked at home for years and ruled my day roost. Now I keep thinking I've got an intruder.
I hate that, Pat!
Thanks Ata. It IS getting to be a problem but like the players, we'll have to compromise.
clue for the first la 5/10
Married for better or worse, but not for lunch!
sorry boo don't have it
that's ok
want to hear husband's latest?
spending £170 on "herbal supplements" to help his tinnitus
I'm not sure I do but still, lets have it.......
la5/10 is la plus jackie's husband mr onasiss
£170!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
and then realising that the web site he bought them from was probably a scam *facepalm*
shall we say I was unamused?
My son has developed tinnitus and doesn't know what to do.
don't buy expensive shit from dodgy websites!
Ata, bring it up every time he rats on you. In jest of course.
it also hadn't occurred to him to try and stop the payment *sigh*
Come to think about it. An awful lot of folk may come back from SA with what sounds like tinnitus but it will prob be vuvuzelatus!
Ata, hasn't he said it's your fault yet?
not *yet*. bound to be though
would be in my house - oops sorry for eavesdropping
I suppose it's my fault deep down because I accused him of going deaf (cos he is). so I think he got angsty and decided he had tinnitus
My hubbie is deaf on his left side but I'm sure that is convenient so he can ignore me. His sight is better than mine.
IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT
I have to say everything 5 times to husbnad. but that's my fault for talking quietly, apparently
oh, river, I know, don't worry!!! That didn't come out quite right - I meant he thinks it's my fault because ....
I am too but on my right side worst than left- my ear doctor made me some very nifty hearing aids - no one can tell
Riverdance, I once accepted blame for a rail strike just to save me marriage.
I know Ata - am right there with you
of course you did - its much easier that way
Ive gotten too old for that now - hence - trouble in wonder land
I am superior enough to know that I AM ALWAYS RIGHT! My mantra.......
I'm just saving it all up for the divorce court!
Just had a family visit and the only munchies I can find are cream cheese and fruit corners. Recipe anyone?
hi all
help with ag words. only have the first one
hi perikins!
ag6 - plan book
ag4 ag + two vowels
then plural
Ata. You have an awful lot of witnesses here ready to bat for you.
doh, ty, RD
agei
Sorry. But Algeria have scored and I wrote that last comment in the word box first
get rid of that e and add a different one on the end
ta vm Riverdance

he was also equally impressive on my birthday. I'd asked for some new diving kit, and he always takes what I want, ignores it, and gives me something I don't want. So he decides that dive kit actually equals a hot air balloon flight. I get travel sick even looking at anything that goes in the air ...
hope that goes smoothly for you Ata whatever you decide
Ata, please return the compliment. Maybe we lot can suggest a suitable pressie for him.
I can think of quite a few too :D
that was a rotten thing to do At!
for your husband to do is what I meant
it's utterly normal for him! Last year I asked for some new watercolours and he got me a squash racket!
when I haven't played squash for *years*!
and I dont want to sound ungrateful, but ... it's just the whole *somethingness* of him
Well look on the bright side- at least you got something - so you take it back and pocket the cash and get what you want...
ri 6/18 anyone? I have more Rs on the list than there R words?
I wish! He'd divorce me for that ... oh wait ....
ri + low singing voice
have you begun that process already
not officially, but plans are being made
THANK YOU River - that gave the light show!
do you have kids?
congrats saanichcat
no luckily, "only" a dog and cat
that is lucky for you - one less complication not that this is easy at all
the worst part of any breakup is deciding who gets to keep the friends.
and the dog is Mine. he can have whatever else he wants (within reason!) but she is My Dog :D
I have 5 years to decide if that is what I want to do - ugh
that's easy for me. I don't like his friends and he doesn't like mine!!
the friends shouldnt change NB - just different parties
Ata. I wish you luck. It is not nice to go through and I feel for you.
why 5 years?
5 years?
I shared the friends with my ex it worked out ok we just meant that they went out more and we didn't go out on the same night
thats when my kids will be out of the house. Daughter in one year, son in 5
ohhh
He has since dropped all the friends but I think that was because he wasn't so keen that I had moved on
I only say it because Frank, an old friend of Leo's and now my new flatmate, was the one to "escort" Leo off the premises when he attempted to crash the housewarming. Makes me feel bad, but also really vindictively good.
that's normal NB, things will settle down in time
go Frank!!
he did that for both of you in the long run NB
I'm sorry to hear that you're considering separating, though, River :( that must be a very difficult decision to make
5 years is a long time to wait as well :-(
a very long time!
7 weeks nearly killed me
nearly, Messi!
its hasnt been good for a while now but I wont do it to my kids and besides, we really cannot support 2 households right now. Who knows, maybe some miracle will happen along the way - like the lottery haha
mind you i did find a house to buy within 7 hours of him dumping me so I'm sure it wasn't easy for him either
the hard thing for me will be trying to get husband to understand I mean it. He's such a - well, tales of him have abounded through the Babble chat for years - and then he writes me a birthday card telling me how much he adores me, and how he's my soul companion for life etc etc!
good evening all
my old house (the one he bought from me and then sold at a loss) is on the market. It still has some of my furniture in it and the curtains are the same, we moved in over 10 years ago and it is nearly 5 years since I left
hi spritey!
evening sprite :-)
hi sprite
hi, Sprite :)
yikes - ata - at least we have mutual dislike
*hugs around*
Ata, I said it before and will say it again... he's nuts
{{{hugs right back at you}}}
clue for the first la 5/10
if it was mutual dislike, I'd find it much easier!!
I wish you all didn't have to go through this
though, really, he's kidding himself. he loves the idea of a lovely wife, not the reality!
la + ***zona state
thats too bad - mine is just nasty and controlling and I am tired of it
have you actually said that you don't love him ata
did I read correctly, Nancy Boy, do you have your own place?
why not try couples therapy, or something? (what would I know?!)
yes! but it'll all be ok ... I don't mean it ....
sure, Sprite, it's just that I share it with a flatmate ;) preferable for me - I couldn't stand to be entirely alone. Plus, he's great fun!
maybe he will only believe you the day you leave
I dont know about ata - we tried that years ago and the therapist we saw was a joke - of course chosen by my DH.
so happy for you, Nancy Boy. Well done!
It's good to have company as well NB it's only been a few days
I'm glad to see you tonight i was worried!
I'm sure ... he'll just lay such a guilt trip on me about destroying his life and that he loooooves me and he'll *cry*
you might tell him that you will leave him the Phantom Phleas
LMAO :D
thank you, Sprite! I must admit, I'm relieved. When I said I didn't intend to get back together with him, he threw a fit and told me to be gone in seven days...well I manged it in five. And he spent those five days being such an enormous prick (ie, bringing bedmates back to the flat - mmm, lovely) that I've been too uppity to really be that unhappy.
evening all - what do the 8s being with please
so really you only miss the cat :P
I am all for relation therapy and working things out together. But if it does not work, one should be able to say enough is enough.
both pa's
oh NB that is sooo disrespectful, thank goodness you found out what he was like before you had wasted too much of your precious life on him
aw Nancy Boy, that is really cruel of him :(
((((Ata))))
who will miss what cat?
NB missing Leo's cat :P
time to get your own little kittie NB
Ohhh, I miss the cat so much! She was my baby :( The good news, though, is that he drunk-dialled my voicemail begging me to come back and telling me that none of them could best me in bed. I may not have my pride, but I do get a smug sense of self-satisfaction.
Frank has two adorable moggies River - both rescues and both 100% love!
pooooooor Leo *snerk*
oh I can always send photos if necessary we have 3 to share for an awful moment I thought you were leaving sily. i can recommed a hamster if you can't keep a cat where you are. Fuggles was my pet when I was recovering from a broken heart
but that's probably TMI...
hehehe too bad Leo, you missed this window of opportunity
*recommend
no no no no!!! Sily's my cat!!
thanks for the pa clue - got em
phew!
though I only have half a dog at the moment ...
how did she turn out, Ata?
If we judge by your picture you've only got half a cat as well.
beautiful :) she's just half the size!!
lol
oh, let me put a new pic of sily up, I just took it :)
have been plucking terra myself and he is becoming so beautiful again
*(*(*(smooshes NB with huggles)*)*)*
Eva!! Good to have you back :)
EvaN is a great hugger
there :)
i try, i try. :)
funny picture - great smile I think
huh, french rabbit is valid
clue for pa8/45 please
that is a good photo
her normal curled up in her basket position :)
aw so sweet Ata
NB, are you settling into the new place well?
afternoon all!
hi Pinik
hi Pini
hi pini
sorry boo don't have it
hi pini!
oh, wonderfully, thank you Eva :) I have to remember to keep my feet under the duvet when I go to sleep though, otherwise the cats wake me up playing with them ;)
Hi, Pini!
sweet though, Nancy Boy :)
how's everyone doing?
{{NB}}
rather well, and you?
::sniffle:: i do miss my cats. i had to re-home them when i moved in with dear fiance...
hi everyone
not too bad...so far lunch at work has been uninterrupted!
hi daykat
pa + army bathroom without the r
hi, Pini :) Oh Eva, why?? That's so sad :(
is he allergic EvaN?
hi daykat
thx River!!! got it right away!
yw - Boo did you get it
well, for starters, he has lizards, and i know from personal experience, it can be difficult to keep the cats away from them. secondly, i knew we would be moving around a bit too often + thats not really fair to the cats. thirdly, most of my friends are allergic. fourthly, at the time, i was working 2 jobs and rarely home, and they deserved a person who would be around to play with them... many more reasons. it was tough, and i miss them dearly...
no
pa8/45 is similar to pa8/50 but with ti** (prongs of a fork) at the end
very unselfish act of yours, EvaN. *hugs*
ty got it
yw
ah found the river in Egypt
i still have photos of them on my myspace (which i rarely ever check) they were gorgeous gals. :)
working on the pa8/50 daykat referenced
got it!
pa8/50
its the same one I gave pini
I dont know what I gave - I give up - trying to work and watch chog
Hello everybody :)
*sniff* and not doing a good job of it
hi soodle
you're doing dandy, river!!! :((river))
hiya Soodle :)
p**(friend) + vowel + loud noise plural
Hi Soodle
Its been a long day...
ok...gotta go...cya after work! HAGD!!!!
bye Pinik

*toddles off to potty* BRB!
hi, Soodle!
hi soodle!
fireflies! Must leave you all, have a nice evening or day and *hugs*
congrats and bye sprite
congrats sprite
yay spritey!
Bye Spritey X
Feeling very sanctimonious. I've just been to the blood bank and donated my 39th pint of blood!
wow that is great soodle
wow, go you!
Smug smirk. Actually, its one of the best ways of making yourself feel good, and virtually pain free.
time for me to go for good - today anyway - have a good night all
Good night River dear.
back from the loo. half hour to kill before happy hour..
Really, Soodle? I'd love to be able to give blood but I'm not allowed!
And whats more, I dragged my daughter and 5 of her friends along!!
ive also never given blood. couldnt for several years due to piercings + tattoos, but mainly because i am borderline anemic + would likely become very light-headed and fainty...
I've never been allowed, because of the G word *rolls eyes*
I can't either
there are some odd words in this grid - anyone know what da5/12 actually means?
I just wish that one time, they would ask me if I was over 9 stone (128 lbs) - the minimum weight requirement. However one look at me...... :(
well luckily Soodle has donated enough for all of us ;) good for you, Soodle!
Oh, there's a weight requirement of 9 stone? Huh. Guess I still couldn't even if I was straight, then!
which da5/12? Did you click the ?
heh, yes. i wish it was a problem of my being too thin. :P
yes I did but said 'no dictionary result'
gosh i'm being thick I can't get the la 5/12s after the rats homes
nm just got them
who put that pesky p there!!!
More rodent-related, Katie
at least you're not too gay, Eva ;)
Nancy - You can't be too thin, too rich, or too gay. Its the law!
could I have a clue for the first pa6/21 please
im quite happy, thankyouverymuch. ;)
preferably all 3. Like Ian McKellen
LOL Soodle. Unfortunately you can be too gay to give blood ;) which makes no sense to me, at all..
actually, you CAN be too thin to donate blood. if you dont meet the weight requirement, they will turn you away.
French sounding word for a royal residence, Katie
I'm too thin, too gay...I wish I was too rich.
I cant give blood either - too full of drugs
So that means that we are left with You can't be too rich. (6 numbers, thats all it would take......)
hmmmmm thinking
ar6 pls
i dont understand that, NB. dont they screen all the blood for all kinds of diseases anyway? id take healthy blood from a gay man over tainted blood from anyone else, any day!
you think the gay thing is silly ... want to know the reason people with bipolar can't donate blood? Not because of the drugs, cos those can be filtered out, but because it "might" affect one's mental health badly
Affectionate word for a friend, two vowels and a silent curly letter
Quite, Eva! God knows what they think we'd infect it with. Nice to have the NHS tell me that my blood is dirty - they should talk to my dad; would get along like a house on fire!
was that a clue for me Soodle?
in this country there is a list as long as your arm o contra-indications of who can and cant give blood - no gay people, no adventurous straight people no travellers to parts of Africa
Sorry - that was the Pa 6/21
same here in the US Kazz
it goes on and on
ok
*sneaks in for hugs*
Ata, I never knew that - that just doesnt make sense.
hello all, on my lunch break, so babbling with my mouth full...
I know! I'd be quite happy to sign a waiver and donate. But no.
ar + **ns against God + I **ed some chocolate
{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}
Its a bit like that here too. My daughter, being a first time donor had to answer 65 questions. She was horrified at some of them.
sorry peri I know that was a rubbish clue
what atalante? they don't let marine biologists donate??? ***many hugs*** how's the leg?
la 5/10 first one please
does anyone know the reason they give that we nancy boys can't give blood, though? there must be something medical behind it, right?
HIV/AIDs Nancy Boy... :-(
over reaction to the 80s aids panic I would have thought NB
getting there slowly ... *sigh*. 8 weeks with the brace now!
like i said nb - even adventurous straight people cant - as
great clue, Katie, ty
well a brace is better than a cast, yes? hang in there, you'll make it
but last time I checked, straight people could definitely get it too...
oh yes, definitely better :D:D
I guess it's anyone who is in a heightened risk category, gay or straight
now now don't be bringing facts into it NB
what, you didnt get the latest news? nope, we are totally immune. :X
LOL Katie
what a lovely pic of Lucky!!
thanks atalante, that was my obstreporous boy yesterday when I was taking too long babbling!
awwwwwww
it's offensive though, because it's just propogating that gay men are more promiscuous than straight men. and if they're going to say that, why not slide back into saying we're not as moral as straight men? idiots.
truly, truly, NB. (((hugs)))
bbs
no, it's not. it's saying that gay men, and straight people with somewhat more adventurous sexual habits are more at risk. Surely?
Sadly, their happiness to relieve me of my blood is yet another indication of my lack of love life :(
worried that you might be hiv without knowing it and passing it on
I think the answer lies in recognizing that there are risk factors such as transmission of body fluids via blood or whatever... and the truth is that people can lie on the questionnaire.
yes it is, Ata, or why else rule out all gays?
maybe they think its catching Nancy:) What about Gay girls - can they donate?
now sobbing quietly over the pa6/21
apart from the tablets, i cant gie blood because of my diabetes
oh got it - yeahhhhhhh
I will be working with children full-time soon, and will need to get a hepatitis shot and other preventive type things... maybe they should exclude teachers from donating
go katie go!
I swear Daykat, I think so! I'm not sure about gay women - probably didn't get that far before throwing the questionnaire down in disgust!
Thank goodness, Katie. I was running out of clues :)
well I think it's something to do with what men can do together. Ditto the man and woman who have to tick whether they have had anal sex etc - and get banned on that basis. Unfortunately, I don't think any blood service has the time to work out whether any one person counteracts their "stereotype"
but yes, in an ideal world, we'd all be able to get checked out adn then give blood regardless of whatever
indeed
only 8 left
soodle I did get it from your french clue but goodness I made hard work from it
go go go katie!!!
go kazzer go!
down to 85. should I list, or will it get easier again at some point?
Atas post reminds me of when I went to my son's parent teacher meeting, when he was 13. A horrified Religeon teacher caught me, and told me that my son and heir stood up in class, and said, Miss, I know about gay men, but you know gay women? Could you explain what goes where...
Fireworks
YAY Katie!!!!
cant work out pa6/21 katie. clue?
lmao @ soodle's sone
in RE? LMAO!
*Son
rofl soodles!
well done katie!!
I asked the teacher what her reply was, and she said that she replied 'Sit down, you disgusting little boy'.
r
ffs!
congrats Katie
oh dear, NOT a good response.
first four letters of the word above and ends with the same two letters as the French Capital
hello all. what a moment to enter the room, soodle!!! ROFL
hello trifioso!
thanks katie - got it!
Hiya Trif :)
hi trif!
waves to all....
so blessed to have the chog today -- got a filling replaced at 2, and I am still drooling, a bit....can type fine though!
soodle thats so funny - both son's question and teachers response
oh my! are you okay otherwise? I dislike fillings.
I think the teacher didn't know....was it a man teacher?
fine enough stid, yes, thanks for asking. My filling is the only thing around here that does seem to be in working order!
oh! well, then I hope the rest of your life gets into shape soon *stern mama look at trifioso's life*
It was a sour-faced ex-nun of a woman. I was totally mortified. Needless to say, I nearly choked Paul when I got home, and he eventually confessed he did it as a dare. Ho hum, the joys of motherhood...
LOL. If only a stern look was all it would take! Honestly, I had no idea how many mechanical parts a home has! Every day it seems there is something that needs adjusted, bled, fixed, oiled, etc.
okay, going to call the stidkids and make sure all is AOK in our lives, too. back in a few.
I still think it's hilarious, soodle. And shame on the nun for striping him in front of the class like that! No child should be call disgusting in public!
anyone need any clues before I go?
I don't see what's wrong with the question, Soodle, to be honest!
nancy! how is our favorite babble son today?
only about 90 of them katie!
no, Katie, go and jump more at your air freshener!
Soodle I personally think it's a very reasonable question
perfectly reasonable question, but maybe not in the middle of an RE lesson lol
I think Miss Ex-nun was freaked by a class of 25 skittering, tittering 13 year-olds!
How about a left column N hint?
fireworks at last!
I think you will find that the Nun had no idea as to the answer lol *poof*
tittering. heh
YAY Kazzer!
huzzah for kazzer!
quick pop back in to say congrats to Kazzer
I am out of here. class starts up again soon.
*hugs all* *Poof*
bye mama
hi all! long time no see
Yay Kazzer.

ty Kazzer!
must go poof as well - things to do - just waltched the footie - in a vain attempt to avoid the tennis
friend of mine went to a Catholic school and had sex ed taught by nuns. why? they're hardly experts..
I agree nancy - it's like getting marriage advice from priests....
ditto NB. it's quite hilarious really
I think you will find that it was a very diluted sex ed class, Nancy.
you will find that many people think they are experts because they have read books about stuff but in fact know sweet fa
like getting how to cook meat from a vegetarian
Lots of stuff that began 'When a man really really loves a woman.....'
NB - how're things going? Did you find another flat?
our head mistress did the sex ed classes - it was weird because she was a miss and at the time we thought she was ancient
funny that -- I went to a parenting lecture once, and the speaker was a renowned author, counselor, etc, and as she was starting her remarks she said something like "yes, I have done all that, but the only thing that will give me credence in this room is the fact that I am raising two children...." I liked that she acknowledged that. I thought it was really classy.
Meanwhile, back in Babble-Land, can anybody clue me the TO 6/27 please?
LOL Soodle! My school ran sex ed for boys separately from sex ed for girls. What an almighty mistake that was. I feel so sorry for the poor soul who had to teach a bunch of baying, whistling boys.
wearing roman attire yesterday
Oooh Thanks Kazzer :)
nitey nite

How is your bunny, Trif?
woohoo soodle
Thank you, Ruby. He has invaded our home and our hearts. A pure joy to have around. I will say goodnight all, unless anybody needs a clue or two?
please, bottom s for nbt
hello scrabbler! Blackie is doing okay, but not great, he is just not acclimating to all the noise and such here.
Sleep well, Soodle!
I had his owner come over and sit with him for a bit on Friday, and that helped some, but he is still spending all of his time in his cage, and not coming out to hop around at all.
goodnight soodle, sleep well. think of me...with no sleep. :(
I would like to get a bunny for Ruby, but DH thinks she would kill it! Any opinions?
st4 = Greek mall
how old is ruby?
Then plural, the Greek way. Maybe I am off on the definition and the Greek part.
ty scrabs
7 1/2
and very good natured and gentle
but BIG!
do with this information what you like, but, I think, with appropriate supervision at first, she would be just fine with a bunny for a pet.
wait, ruby is a child, right?
that's what I think and it would be so cute in the garden
I think you'd have to get a very chilled, very big bunny! And not one that will bounce around
in a way, yes, but actually a chow chow
oh,. gads, in that case NO - bunny+ dog = FIGHT.
Max would probably be afraid of it....
the bunny will probably go for the dog!!
I have friends that have dog(s )+ cat(s) + rabbit(s) and they do get along well, but you just never know for sure until you work on the relationship.
75 lb dog!
Dog + bunny = dinner
other way around, actually.....our cats can be in the same room as the bunny, no problem, but Diggity + bunny = cartoon of animals running around like cyclones
bunny's can be nasty little buggers
rofl
I didn't know that
theyre not all sweet and cuddly like the ads pretend they are
oh, yes -- didn't you see monty python and the holy grail?
that bunny was DEADLY!
I think that a bunny might pep up these lazy dogs who sleep 26 hours a day
I had a little girl bunny once who was ferocious
blackie bites, which really sucks for the kids.
I CAN'T PICTURE THAT BUT THE IDEA IS A RIOT
I have a feisty bunny--almost 10 lbs.
sorry for caps, typing in the dark
bunny's name?
Blackie just needs attention + love, esp while being given treats.
the woman who brought blackie over here did make some "oh, wouldn't you like to keep him" noises, but I quickly hushed those. Have dedicated an entire room in the house just for Blackies' comfort and convenience, and that is not so convenient for us humans
Tucker John is my biggest bunny. Tiniest = under 3 lbs = Sebastian.
I'm starting to get sleepy at last. See you tomorrow and still69 words from finishing -- hopeless
goodnight ruby! sleep well

TY :)
So - can someone tell us newbies what are the benefits of going pro?
I've only got 20 of those p words.
hey ya'll
LONG time!
Hey, dofith, don't worry about it at all. I seldom give clues simply because I can't give good ones....there are others here who are so much better than I.....so keep up the good work.
You get to see fireworks everytime you finish puzzle
Oh wow!
You get to see the tile stats all the time,they do not go away after 2 weeks and you get to have your icon
Thanks, peach.
yw
lexlee! also hi Minver
Need to come up with icon. Hmm.
and gapeach - long time
Hey there, Min....how are you today? Things are VERY hot and HUMID here, so I'm staying inside.
thinks it might be awhile before I get to see fireworks:(
Hey there, dan, hope all is well with you and your family.
Things are wet and cool here so also need to stay inside!
we are doing well - baby2bit is 6.5 weeks, time already flying

gnight Kap
ok dopith which ones do you need
The ones I haven't got!
dofith, there are icon themes everyday.Today's icon theme is phones.Not everyone follows the theme,but it gives you an idea for an icon if you do not want to come with one on your own. Every Friday the theme is take a word from the grid where your icon can be one of the words that is in the grid that day. It's fun
Got pa4 -6,pa4-5,pa6-24,pa5-12,pa4-5,...
Oops! I forgot to say hello when I entered so hello all!
Thanks, Min
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

Hi minveryork. I've been focused n the grid totally today.
Hi stidgmere! How many more words do you have left
dofith if you go to the bottom left hand side of the page you'll see links - open link named Licketys Babble Clues and you'll get a list of all words with the first 2 letters and the score attached to it. Very useful. you can cut and paste the words you already have
Another pa5-12,,pa7-36, the 2 8's,..Oh dear, can't do it this way
I have 103 left. I am more Dabbler than a Babbler.
hi stidgmere -- looking forward to meeting you!
hello everyone :)
Thanks, daykat - but that's cheating!
Hi cybernan! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
Hi cyber, yes we are looking forward to Friday evening. I have so enjoyed your comments on the chat over the years.
Using resources is never cheating dofith. Never make life more difficult than it has to be.
Must hunt for food.....back later.
pa8/50 - pa*(friend) + vowel+lots of noise plural
It isn't considered cheating here! We all use that list
If you think that using the list is cheating, then so is asking for clues or using MoreWords or AtoZ website
pa8/45 similar to pa8/50 but with a fork prong at the end
I need to start dinner pretty soon but oh well. The weather is sunny and bright and we can eat in the sunshine until nine thirty or so tonight.
No sunshine here stidgmere. I'm having a big T-Storm
pa 8/50: richard boone in have gun wil travel
This is the first day we have had sunshine in June, I think. I like our climate but it has been really overly gray for the past 9 months and my sense of humor is rapidly diminishing.
Oh, I think I'm having a temper tantrum like the ti 6, 21.
mmm -- don't have that one stidg
Got those,kat
ti ****. like cool **** only spelled differently.
got it -- ty
yw, cybernan.

As you say day kat. All for now. I have my even hundred and with that I'll poof off.

this is like a choose your own adventure conversation. choose your own age!
actually i am 62. but it is such fun to lie and say i am 42 or 52 or 72. and watch peoples faces. better in person.
yes, it changes at the birthday. automatically. i'm off now.. see you tomorrow
i say i am 82 and when they say wow, you look great, i say "thanks. but if i say i am 42 and they go "oh", i say "see what 6 kids did to me?"

hello everybody

hi jacq
and hi sandy too
hi Barb
20 to go
10 5's and 10 6's ... sigh
hi jacq
i have 74 left have had 3 hours sleep thanks to the teenagers and the baby
heya pini
go pini
oh no! poor jacq!!!
can i vent and get it off my chest please? no sympathy or advice just get it out safely
go for it jacq
vent away
<-- will listen to anything (and zips lips as requested)
<--- zipping mine as well
quad
i can't live with them anymore but they can't get a house and can't afford private rent i want to cry because i have no idea how they will cope if they ever do leave and if she yells at the baby once more i will cut his and her throats and bury them under the patio and raise the baby myself
oops sorry
heading for the pb
* gulp *
i didn't measn don't give advice, i just meant there was no point because nothing can change
there can always be change I think...it is just hard to see most of the time at least for me anyways
4 am this morning i got up to stop them physically shoving each other while they fought about who was getting up with kait, then she announces she wishes she had never had the baby, i wanted to slap them both
in the meantime kait is standing in their doorway watching this and crying
oh my
how old is kait?
then i am the bad guy because i got up and told them to grow up
2
((((( pulling out the tea ))))) for listening purposes
I so feel for you, jacq, and for the little one, too
if it was just them i would leave them to it, but kait is the light of my life
i have never ever wanted to hit one of my own children but this morning i do, so badly
because she's living in your home; can you not go to the courts to request temporary custody until the "parents" get their act together?
it's a long process here, and daddy's mum is a social worker, it would never ever go in my favour
i tried speaking to her about it, him punching holes in doors and walls etc but she just laughs it off
* sigh *
I can relate to that one sidedness...something similar happened to me
catch 22, that's why the patio looks so attractive
lol
a picture sometimes speaks a thousand words???
nods
thank you both for letting me get that off my chest, i feel a bit better and am less likely to cry now
anytime, jacq!!!!!! {{HUGS}}
