from our local transit agency, regarding the subway: "Metro will enact a new 20¢ surcharge during peak-of-the-peak periods (weekdays 7:30 - 9 a.m. and 4:30 - 6 p.m., based on the starting time of the trip)."
past tense
past tense
peek of the peek. wow
any toronto babblers involved in the g20 mess today?
oh doh!
we already have a variable fare that ranges from 1'.95 to 4.95 each way depending on time of day. talk about confusing fare structure.
ah, and I remember the nickel subway fare in NYC, dc!
we called our son as soon as we read it - his, and his wife's, offices are not right in the centre of it all
I'm far from Toronto the Not-so-Good.
fare here was 85 cents when i started riding in 1986.
they are well, flosey?
but they're watching things very closely - son's especially
yes dc, thanks
got one!
i have many friends downtown and they have nothing good to say about the actions of the police today especially
I have old friends who live there but I don't know if they are in the area concerned.
and the other
nbt
it is very shocking - and scarey
one of my good friends lives a block away from the "zone" and he was detained this afternoon for being suspicious due to "walking in the rain" when in reality he was walking home from the store
one of our fave songs was inspired at the g summit in London.. band had room overlooking the police action
gosh, they have to be so careful
are these creeps professional troublemakers?
that scary, joshua
josh, just what is the "zone"?
jilli - the area of the downtown core that was cordoned off and essentially shut down for the summit
without getting too provocative, here is (i think) a telling video that shows the attitudes of the police irrespective of the public - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Heb9BXj YcII
what streets are involved josh?
I know that -- I mean what streets are the boundaries? My friends are on Bloor, not far from the university
bloor is more or less away from the action, as far as i know
queen and spadina was the site of some of the worst confrontations
that's good!
I take it this is more down Queen? and below?
I watched that on youtube.. kettling. looks scary!
seems like it's from maybe bay to spadina east/west, king to maybe dundas north/south
not the one linked here... I mean the one that inspired song
i honestly don't know though
ah, west of son's office then
saw the link, josh -- that's awful.
the video really speaks for itself if you ask me
must look it up
I'll be watching the news in a bit.
sad that Canada, with this, seems to moving the way of the US. :(
full version: http://www.vimeo.com/12903946
at the g20 in london apparently someone got killed by the police.. at least that's the story on the web..
really sad to see this in the Toronto I knew and loved - as I remember it from 20+ years ago
i find it hard to seriously consider the police's side of the story after seeing something like that
some canadians are so barbaric..especially police
what on earth was the police's story?
i haven't heard anything from them regarding whats in the video
both the ch7's are related, btw
one is past tense and the other is "more of" the ch5 preceding
are the ch7s weird?
just change one consonant from the sound that birds make
got it
thx josh
ty, josh
that sound is also in the grid, just in case it slipped past you
have all the ch words
ok, with that fireworks i will have to retire to sleep before a 6 hour drive tomorrow
i'm going to new orleans, i'm excited
first time i have been in 8 years
Wish we were headed to NO...
Never been there. My mother used to go quite often with a friend and her sister
i am reluctantly leaving memphis - i really like this town, warts and all
i'm spending the entire summer living out of my car and driving around the us and canada
Wow, josh...sounds like an adventure!
it's so annoying -- some French words work, other don't -- quite arbitrary.
i did it in 2002 and now i'm doing it again
that's cool josh.. be safe
I have been to Memphis -- drove there from Montreal twice, and back, with a Great Dane .
i am definitely trying to be safe, ruru - especially since i have my camera equipment with me in the car!
josh, can you be in Olympia WA on August 21? There's a babbler meeting then.
what's the occasion josh?
i think i will pass through washington before then, jilli
ruru - i just finished grad school and had promised myself an extended wandering in reward for that a long time ago
darnit, josh! What did you take in grad school?
Congrats on finishing grad school!
i am a habitual traveler and look for any excuse to wander around
back again
good travels then josh.. that sounds like a lot of fun
i studied film in grad school
re-hi flosey
the us is maybe the best place in the world to discover by car
hence the cameras ;)
exactly
safe journey, josh, and congrats on finishing grad school
.get insurance for the cameras
thanks everyone - checkout is at 9am tomorrow so i should grab some z's before that
i'm a step ahead of you ruru
good for you josh.. have fun
I hope you have a laptop, josh, and can continue to amaze us at babble
have a great time josh
bye josh! llook forward to hearing from you on the road!
typing on it right now jilli
night everyone
bon voyage, josh!
night josh, sweet sleep
G'night josh
just over halfway
wtg jilli, I'm just there
hi all...just a quick peak
hi barb -- that's peek ;)
hi Barb
Hi, Barb
yes right...good there is someone to correct my terrible spelling :)
My late hubby had a Bad Speller's Dictionary, lol!
I guess that is why it takes me so long to get words...but it is good learning :)
Ks konkered :-D
wtg jilli
fireworks unaided
stumped on the mo7
Wahoo, grem!!!
you are just too good gremlinn...
YAY gremlin!!!
I just hit that too, flosey
wtg grem
mo + neoc*****s are parts of brains
m + what s*** of clue was that, grem? + solid H2O
gee thanks, grem (I haven't a clue)
that's better, grem -- thanks!
thanks grem, great clue
the first clue was wrong - should have been "m + neoc******s are parts of brains"
thanks grem
yes, grem
and I realized it'd be useless, yes
why do I feel I am at 33 rpm.. and gremlin is at 45?
did anyone say "why doesn't epitomy work?" yet?
so long as you aren't playing the 33 at a 45 speed
common misspelling, so I think it'll happen
not a chance, lol!
is the pr8 a compound word?
it has a three letter prefix
not a compound though
thanks grem
common word, and I was trying for strange stuff like "pericarp"
it was my last word, and I was stuck for 20 minutes on it
just knew it was P8
lol that's discouraging! if YOU were stuck!
I sure don't see it
will come back to it
I'm not sure why, but it was hard to pick out of the grid
this is a nice grid so far

I'd like to know why CTV news didn't show that clip of the peaceful protesters being charged by the police.
what were they protesting?
police injustice?
May I please have a clue for pr8-55? Thanks
I don't know -- but it should be. Did you see the video?
hi peach
hi yogo
pro + not false, insert a consonant
nope, I will look it up

oh hey! we can make menudo on this grid!LOL
5 minutes til night here!LOL
read over the chat, you guys always make me smile!
whats menudo???
Enable is an irker of me, by not containing irker!
menudo was a latin band of very young boys, not very good but popular, briefly
that irks me, too, douglas, and hello
are they hot???
(sexy)
hmm.. menudo is a common soup made with tr 5/12
Menudo is something you can eat, but probably are better off not eating
served with diced onion, and lime and cilantro
it's actually pretty good.... kind of...
I'll take your word for it m9
it is one of the few things I won't eat except in Philadelphia Hot Pot!
if it's the tr5/12 I have, no thanks!
when I was in management, one of the kids at work said his mom made the best menudo. wanted to bring me some. I'll try anything once.(within reason!)

You're welcome, jillibus.

and the prediction for Wednesday, when a friend is having a garden party, is cloudy and 15 for a high! With maybe showers. Awful!
ah jilli, hope it's wrong!
and the Tour starts Saturday! Yay
after the World Cup disappointments this weekend!
How is Ballymena this morning Haz? Will send some of our sun over - we have more than enough to share.
jilli, you must take a picture of you wearing your hat
Ballymena is fine this morning, a bit overcast, but I don't think we'll have any rain.
15C is 59F -- on June 30!
(hmmm, or have someone take it!)
this is acrazy year for weather!
eg 4? I can't even monkey it?!?!?!?]
I'll try to remember to take my camera, flo -- or have someone take one another time.
We're going to a wedding on Saturday so hopefully it'll still be nice. However, we're so used to rain that we would never dare schedule an outdoor wedding.
Parts of England were warmer yester than the Mediteranian.
aha, just got the ro5 and 6
eg4 - one vowel short of the keen ea5.
Climate change indeed.

So let me know how it goes with Dr M, flo!
be back for flip tomorrow
and byeee flosey
Bye, flosey.
and then there were 3 :)
On further review, I seem to have failed in my quest for minimal nbt, as I don't have a word from the southeast e
will email you jilli - you might be resting so wont call
I have 43 to go.. but I need to go to bed!
thanks, flosey :)
Douglas, think currency or start of a continent for that e.
doug, it's a 0/0
well Douglas, we all help ea** other
oh I was looking at the southwest, duh. Obviusly bedtime, so *poof*
(flosey too)
I've been hearing that there might be a bit of a bother if countries start withdrawing from the eu4. Thanks
You're welcome.
ah, sorry, was looking at southwest!, goodnight for good now, poof
Haz to the rescue!
Britain refused to forsake their pounds for the foreign eu4. Losing shillings was as far as we were prepared to go.
I still remember the TV jingles to prepare us for decimalisation 'Use your old coppers in sixpenny lots'
Hear Hear!
I spent a year in Birmingham in 1965. My mother reported I was quite helpful with shillings and pence at the time
Is your icon the moonlight walk Haz?
Shillings and pence were the reason we were whizzes on the 12 times tables.
Yes, I took it from the website. The rugby players are bringing up the rear.
And I've got some new books for sale in the world's shortest books.
Oh I will have to have a look at the book list :)
LOL very witty!
I think I could probably add 'Playing as a team' by the England Football squad.
ouch!
Pnone
And back - phone's busy this morning with appointments. It was a poor show yesterday, that's for sure.
I couldn't bear to watch it.
The commentators were trying hard to be polite but you could see that they were struggling with their language.
And then, Fabio was interviewed and claimed they played well.
well he is in a win win situation isn't he.
You have my condolences. Did you catch the highlights of the USA-Ghana match?
I don't know whether it was his own struggle with the English language or whether he was just trying to be kind.
I saw a few snatches here and there, Douglas.
Was it as bad as ours?
From the way the pundits were talking yesterday, the England performance will be used for years to come as an object lesson in how not to defend.
On the upside we beat Australia at cricket and aparently the UK won the freshwater fishing championships :)
Clue please for pr 8/55
Well, that's manna for the soul, knowing we can catch fish.
pr8 - to stick out in noticeable fashion
pr8/55 = to stick out
I considered the play that fellow made in extra time to be rather amazing, catching the ball on his left shoulder from 40 yards or so away
Thanks
You're welcome.
That must have been something to see!
Right, must ring the surgery to give them the appointments for this morning. Back shortly.
okey doke.
The fellow who kicked the ball to Gyan (the man who scored the winning goal) was Andre Ayew. He was voted Man of the Match
I bet there will be a clip of it somewhere on youtube.
Tis better to have played and lost, than to have never played at all.
LOL not sure about that Soodle, and good morning.
Hi FM, Douglas, and Haz.
Strangest call of the weekend was the tortoise whose shell was punctured thanks to the attentions of a boxer dog called Angel. Poor choice of name!
poor tortoise, is it OK?
Yes, hopefully, it got an antibiotic injection.
for some reason I am reminded of that brilliant story you told re the goat on the bed. The brain is a strange thing :)
You're right there!
Hello Soodle. Ireland, England and the USA are all equal now
I wonder if the English team will be sent home in Economy like the French team were?
That's very gracious of you, Douglas.
Nah they will have seats out on the wings.
Or worse....RYANAIR
As it is a 12 hour flight from J'burg they will certainy have time to ponder everything.
Hitch hiking and a slow boat home - things might have been forgotten by the time they get back.
Hitch hiking and then to be picked up by a buss load of German supporters :)
Of course, it may have a great deal to do with the fact that the English premiership is awash with foreign players, so there's no strength in the squad.
But there's no fun in being rational about it, is there?
Can't believe my downtime (the summer) is dominated by football and as soon as it is all over I will be back to 40 weeks of football - argh!
Shall we set up a Babble Tiddley Winks team as a diversion?
At least you didn't have to type the results while steadily weeping.
lol true
or we could carry on with the Babble pub quiz team?
I think the quiz team idea is still the best.
Douglas would be very useful on the musical rounds.
In American football, the phrase "so-and-so made a play" is commonly used with the connotation "so-and-so skillfully took advantage of an opportunity" I get that Gyan of Ghana made a play. If one wishes to get technical, he made three plays; he caught the ball on his shoulder, beat a defender, and made a shot that beat Tim Howard, one of the best keepers in the world. I bow to his excellence.
Music and poetry.
HAve to say I now have a clearer idea of what the offside rule is - a chap on the radio gave a very simple explanation of it.
Thanks all for your kind words
:)
Do they have pub quizzes in the states? Where teams compete to answer general knowledge questions?
The part about the World Cup I don't get is the lack of instant replay on goals. USA had two goals taken away from them in the group stage, both unjustly, in my opinion
My pub quiz pub of preference is Keegan's Irish Pub in Minneapolis
hi guys, Haz I love quizzes
Hi sandy!
The powers that be claim that it would be too expensive to install goal line technology, the thinking being that it would have to be used everywhere or nowhere. I don't see why they can't agree to have it on important games. Let's face it,the game is awash with money.
hi mitch
Hello, sandyloo.
No the players are awash with money :(
Glad to see that the Irish pubs are spreading the word. Are the quizzes of a pretty high standard?
What have you done to your icon sandy?
Then each awash with money player should be required to fund goal line technology - it's in their own interests, and in the interests of natural justice.
Lol mitch, I am trying to become more computer literate- so I scanned a pic in (first time) and tried to put it on my icon- however apparently I have to crop it first
Back in 5.
morning all
hi sprite
Good morning, sprite.
how's today's grid to you?
It's okay, sprite. Yes, there are k words but not many.
I consider myself to be well versed in trivial knowledge, but sometimes the quizzes give me a thorough thrashing, because they have questions on pop culture items that I don't follow closely
just started
thanks. Am positive I can find 3 K words.
I know what you mean, Douglas, but you can't know everything - and think of the horror of having to listen to some of that stuff. Let others make the sacrifice.
Morning spritey sprite.
hah found them :) Hi Douglas
Well done, sprite.
Hello sprite! The two I have are rather nasty, but we can't prosecute Babble for that
Now you can enjoy the rest of the grid sprite :)
hi FM and sandy and Haz too
we can't, Douglas? Darn.
indeed FM :)
Back in a sec, must change icon for todays theme :)
If PG Wodehouse were translated into French, Bertie Wooster would be facing the magistrates charged with stealing an officer's ke4 on Boat Race night.
That was a reference from the Monty Python "Wizzo Assortment" sketch, where the Police Inspector says to the candy maker "Cherry Fondue...now this is rather nasty, but we can't prosecute you for that."
hehehe FM, I'd say you are showing a beautiful theme icon
don't think I have seen that scene.
True sprite but at least I can show some of my onw ones :)
oh they are blooming so beautifully!
LOL Haz
Thank you sprite, everthing is coming alng nicely.
oh someone stole my o.
how dare they! Here, have one from me. O.
*grin*
mitch, i told you about my icon scroll down to 3.06
oh dear sandy I think you might have cropped it too much :)
I think it is pretty special, the effect you created with your icon, sandy. I have never managed something even close to it.
no that is how it came out, I dont know how to crop yet
*giggles* Ok I say sorry, am being a bitch.
http://www.ibras.dk/montypython/episod e06.htm contains what is known as the "Crunchy Frog" sketch
icons can be so pernikety!
herin told me how to get it as a jpeg but I have forgottenthe program she told me to use
thanks Douglas!
Thanks Doug will have to look at that later as I don't remember seeing it before.
I am going to try again when I remember what it is called LOL
hmmm, might be called paint
or something like that
paint sounds good, it is standard on all window machines
I need someone like Mitch's cleaner to help me
Paintshop pro ?
He is coming tomorrow sandy :)
Back shortly.
no just plain Paint. PSP is much more complicated.
no I think Sprite got it right it is a standard thing
I will try it tomorrow = the pic in my icon is Scrimmy at a show
Grrr. Just had the passport office on the phone. They have lost my daughter's birth certificate, and are now asking me to apply (and pay) for a replacement. She is flying to Portugal on Saturday.....
aw Soodle, how unfair and frustrating
red tape is neccessary but soooo annoying
Heck that is going to be a challenge Soodle.
and what a bummer that they lost it and you pay for their mistakes
sheezzz my son has managed to fail his grades with 25/1000 of a point.
Oh sprite!
it is so close they are going to talk him over once more to see if they will let him pass in spite of it.
Fingers crossed.
What sort of rotten examiner could't find the extra micro-points?
and if I told him once I told him a million times... cutting it close is stoooopid!
Soodle, you cannot fax it, I think? Must be an original or stamped copy or something probably?
bbl , I have to do some jobs
good luck with them, sandy, and *hugs*
later sandy
phantom: pictogram
good phantom!
thanks ;)
No Sprite. They say its lost... They had the original. So I am expected to go to the Births Register Office, pay for a new one, take it to the passport office, and return on Friday to pick up the wretched thing. A round trip of 140kms each time.
What a pain Soodle.
oh that is so lousy :( :( And so unfair. But nothing else you can do, I am afraid. They have the power.
Grumble grumble grumble.....
Threaten to sue them and see what happens.
or to call a big newspaper maybe?
morning all how many words today please
Well, because she is on such a tight time deadline, I don't want to jeopardise her getting the passport. It would by my luck to meet some officious civil servant, who would just be awkward.
139
139 sand
thanks
hi sandra
Morning mm
bad story, soodle! Tell them you're calling a lawyer! hahah
hi alll i'm back
hi sprite and sandra and mm and FM and yogo!
hi rubyfoo, hi yogo
Hi Rubes, Sandra, and Movieman.
sorry about before my freind was over and we were crazy..... :)
what thought on yesterday mm?
it's OK yogo but does your mom know you're playing?
Load of crap, FMitch
how are you feeling, Sprite? You were not so hot the last time I saw you.....
no i dont think so.....
The performance AND the officiating
yup that pretty much sums it up :(
everybody -- yogo is only 11!!!!
the officiating is disgraceful!
oh you guys are talking football. Forgive me for not catching up, lol.
Talking but only briefly sprite as there really isn't much to talk about.
rubyfoo: am okayish again, just a little tired still. It is amazingly hot here, which does not help. But happy with the sun and with not having appointments today.
very disappointing weekend for both US and UK fans!
np FM, I was just wondering. I actually was thinking "Yesterday? Is that a new movie maybe that movieman has seen recently?"
Oh lol sprite!
yeah I know, *blush*
good name for a movie -- or maybe a song.... lol
Haven't been to the flicks for over a month sprite
good heavens mm, nothing worth seeing at the moment then?
oh movie my man, how come?
Charles Asnevore's Yesterday
As I said before Tis better to have played and lost, than not to have played at all!
not in this case, Soodle, lolllll. It was pathetic.
Went on holiday to Rhodes a fortnight ago, and the World Cup's been on
...all my troubles seemed so far away.....
Hello everyone
Different song, ruby.
yesterday is history...
hello lynxxx
Hello, lynxxx.
hi lyn!
haha, haz
Hi there lynxxx
Hi Lynn
tomorrow is a mystery....
phantom: imagery
I'm missing a left hand e for AVGO....
oh god, what is AVGO?
avgo? Babble lingo is developing faster than I know!
All Vowels Greyed Out
acronym for what?
Trembling...
a very good o..............
lolllll wonderful
It's not enought we are blighted by NBT and MNBT.
lol MM
ea4 and everyone, movie
Hugs HAz and tells her it will all be OK
Can I have some pills?
want a blue one or a red one, Haz?
Blue and pink striped ones on their way along with the cooking sherry.
half, yay!
What about the Y. I know it doesn't have any words coming from it today, but for days when it does. Is it a sometimes vowel or a consonant?
I have ea4, ea5, and eg4
you and julia
I take any colour, any pattern, just keep them coming.
There are two ea5, switch the last two letters.
*orders ambulance*
ty haz
Hi everyone.
ty haz
hi Sally
You're welcome, MM. Hello Sally.
Morning Sally.
hi Sally :)
hello sally! the pond nets are a great success! Thank you again for that
I will vent my futile objection against the 'sometimes vowel' phrase.
Oh I'm so pleased ruby. They probably look quite attractive too, apart from their planned use.
Every time I come on you seem to be rushing off to mix drinks, ruby.
once more
any clue for the 8's please
does that say something awful about this household?
hehehe Sally, oh oh them Frenchies...
I think ruby is running an illicit bar
No, I think it's just that when I appear she feels the need for a strong drink!
and the remaining fish feel so safe now, that they are coming up to feed and had babies on the weekend!
lol Sally
oh great ruby!
pr8 - to stick out, he8 - nagged and complained in loud fashion
aw sweet little baby fishes... errrr eggs.
there is a fountain in the middle of the pond and they line up, shooulder to shoulder, around it to eat the alga
Babies! Oh brilliant. Happy husband? (no, scratch that, silly question)
I think the eggs were already here, now they are tiny fish!
Glad to see HAz is applying herslef to the clue role as we are all igoring it.
Fish have shoulders? I never knew that.
better than usual and trying very hard to be nice!
not ignoring it! Picking up the clues and pondering them!
only baby fishes have shoulders
thanks for the pr
hi all i m back mum just needed her computer....
I still haven't re-cooked my runny currant jelly! lazy ruby
mind you when Haz is clueing who else needs to?
You're welcome. The he8 builds off he6, also a heroic man's name.
ahh, my Dad would have been proud of me finding mo7.36 & tenon
exactly. Thanks Haz, still pondering but grateful for the clues.
see, that did it, thanks for the Hs.
oh good one lynxxx
You're welcome.
ty for the 8's, haz!!! didn't see them when they came on
ty for the he clues Haz. Only just started, so free words!

You're welcome. The pr is twisty.

realy i didnt get it before
wr5/20 - to rhyme with Scotch br***
A type of soup.
what has God wr5?
any other clues pls
Last clue, wr plus the letters of not cold but mixed up. From that you should be able to work out the letters.
yay, got the mo7, spelled the English way?
spelled the proper way!
I didn't know there was any other way of spelling it!
ruby...................what country are you from?
hahah lynxxx!
Is there another way?
American but live in FR
oh cool..............does it snow there?
mo7 is a type of lock, sandra.
have you a clue for it please whatever way you spell it
am doing hopelessly today, no p8 and no m7.
yes, we're in the Alps
mo7 - combine death and frozen water.
coool i have never seen snow is it cool?
ah great clue. Reminds me of the Addams' family.
thanks haz
pr8 - not amateur, not false with a consonant intervening.
pr (not amateur) + in ***** (stucik yr nose in
thanks
brb
You're welcome.
your clue is better than mine, haz
spelled better, too
*smug*
Someone has to be smug around here while Ata's away.
where are you yogo?
ah thanks a lot. I do feel stupid now. Great clues all of them.
I told you it was twisty!
it is at that
any k words? or right-hand e?
im back
ruby, think French policeman's cap for one of the k words.
I should have known that!!
and the money you spend Ruby
duh
ra4,5 pls..... :)
where do I live again?
er6/7 sexy
ty for your help
that one I had! doesn't apply, though
does anyone here live in england?
ra4/5 is what athletes run
look at the flags, yogo
yogo, click on people's profiles to see where they come from.
thanks
ok
yog, you can see from the little flags who lives where. I live in England.
coool is it like on the movies...does it have those cool phone booths....have you ever seen the queen?
Yes, yes and yes.
I have seen the Queen
new fave: th5 garden insect
really...so cool
wow when did you see her did you get to talk to her?
Would someone kindly save my sanity! I cannot find the direction for the ar 7/32 no matter what I try!
in about 1954 - no I didn't speak to her but I did wave - it was on a football field
Most people use mobiles now, yogo, not the cool phone boxes!
ar7/32 - French for wardrobe. ar plus a type of watered silk (it looks like a woman's name)
down, up, and across
Was she playing lynxxx?
cool does it snow?
tyvm Haz!
hi ddb
She rode past me in carriages a couple of times, I could see that she wanted to stop and chat but the timetable was too tight.
hello ddb
You're welcome, ddb.
Yes, but not as much as in the Alps or some parts of the world. We had some weeks we were snowed in this last winter.
hi ruby...what time is it there?
lol, no Sally, she was waving 'regally'
Your timetable, right, Haz?
lynxxx r u from australia?do you live in australia now?
And sprite...what time is it there?
Absolutely, I was flat out that day.
I think you had more than we did this year, Sally. Very weird winter
I think that was lucky, Haz. You might not have had room enough in the cupboard for both George and Her Majesty.
Oh, and hi, sprite!
cool sally
it is 11.21 am here, ddb
Do you think they would get on?
would you believe it is 3:21 am here...must go to bed!
10.21 here.
of course they would
yes & yes yogo. and yes I have seen kangaroos and koalas and we do have a red headed female Prime Minister
This is true, Sprite, and those corgis might prove to be a nuisance around Spangle.
nobody fights in Haz's cupboard
Sleep well, ddb!
they are so very spoiled, Haz. Spangle might become annoyed.
Absolutely. They say many a courtier has had his ankles well nipped.
eeew
i used to live near melourne in a tiny town called Tooleybuc...
a bad habit that may become worse on the diet you have for the dogs in your home, Haz.
Melbourne
So are you Australian yogo?
I am finding more and more phantoms and fewer and fewer words now
really Yogo. How old were you then?
Gruel is not cruel.
no, not cruel. But for the corgis it might come as a culture shock.
rubyfoo, try pictogram. My favo phantom for today.
i was 8 when i moved there but i stayed till i was almost 10 :)
careful, yogo. Don't give out personal info in the internet.
I think frito should be acceptable, after all, it's one of the main food groups
yes i was born in Canberra :)
I know. A diet of gruel eaten in a cupboard might come as a shock after caviare in the palace.
what is frito? Frites with mayo? In that case I agree.
i wont any more :( oops
Ah, my favourite word is in the grid. ce 4/6. A word you know well if you keep chickens...
it would be much healthier for them though.
lol Sally :D
kind of salty chips, great with dip
monkeying that one, sally....
ruby, it has a latin plural ending.
2 syllables, rubyfoo
And repeat the first consonant somewhere. Now can we give any more clues for this word?
got it, thank you
ae4,6 pls
we could, but it is not necessary ;)
where the eagle builds its nest, yogo
and sally almost landed in the pb with ch**
ae plus the first two letters of a type of cereal, often used in a type of dark bread.
ch4 being short for chicken sh?
got it ty
lol, not really ruby. Otherwise there would be so many words we couldn't use. My chickens are quite ch**!
ac4,6 pls
no gruel for those chickens. Just caviare!
what color are their eggs?
i am determined to finish this puzzle...
I have a friend with exotic chickens that lay strange-colored, speckled eggs!
yogo: ac + male
also very ch**
ac4,6 pls
thanks
They are all different. One lays very long brown speckled ones, one lays more rounded light brown. The two new girls (Fluffy and Scruffy) lay speckled eggs which are darker one end than the other - very pretty.
hello ubgrud!
hey ubgrud. You live very close to where I live.
got it ty
ac4/6 - a pain
do their tastes differ?
ac5,12 :) pls
yogo, sorry, I don't think it's fair to ask for clues for word after word. You need to look at the grid and find some words for yourself.
ok ill try..... :)
yogo, could you try to find some words by yourself?
no, just the shells are different. It is a myth that there is any difference whatever in the content between different coloured eggs.
The point of the game is to find words, not necessarily to finish just to say you've finished.
it is more fun, both for you and for uw
that should have read *us
However, the yolks are very golden yellow - almost orange. When I first had the two new girls their yolks were quite pale in comparison, but now after free ranging for a while their yolks have darkened.
my neighbor tried to dye easter eggs, but wasn't thinking about the fact that the eggs here are brown. They all came out sort of mud-colored
ok but most of the words i dont know and i just guess....but i still find them....i have 15 words....
the content can change with different food then :)
European eggs are SOOOO much better than American ones which have very pale yolks and white shells
Then you realy can't expect people to give you clues for all the rest. Accept that you don't know as many words as others, but try to find the easy ones, there are lots of normal words if you take the time to look.
"let them eat bugs!"
ok thanks :)
yes sprite. But I have read that in the US white eggs are popular because they are seen to be cleaner and therefore more "healthy", whereas in the UK brown eggs are seen as healthier!
If you listen in to clues being given to other people, you should be able to work out some more as well.
aussie eggs i have to say are the best :)
I've only finished 3 times in more than 6 months, yogo, and that was with a lot of help from the chog!
ok
that is funny, Sally. Knowing where the eggs come from, I think nobody should consider them clean, grin.
true, sprite!
rofl, sprite!
We don't want to discourage you from playing, just to make you realise that you need to take it at a pace that's right for you and everyone else.
Eggs from chooks are much cleaner than duck eggs, though. Ducks lay on the floor.
yep thats ok :)
I've never known if it is necessary to wash eggs before you break them
yogo, think of how proud you will feel when you find some good words on your own :)
Good, yogo, I hope you enjoy the game.
sometimes they have feathers stuck to them
i agree sprite
I love really fresh eggs. They taste so much better than the shop ones.
guess what time it is, sally! you are right as usual
Not usually from chickens, unless there is dirt on them. However, I do usually clean duck eggs just before breaking.
hic!
I've never had a duck egg :(
Okay, time I was doing other things. Have a good day and maybe see you later. Bye!
yay i found both the mo4,5 words..... :)
quail eggs, though
bye Haz
T loves them. They are a bit strong for me.
I hear stomping around from you-know-who *poof*
bye Haz :)
Bye Haz
Bye!
I would probably like them as I eat my eggs unseasoned
bye haz
{{sally, hic!}}
Duck eggs have to be really really fresh. They are apparently wonderful in cakes.
I have fireflies buzzing around. Bye all, thanks for the fun and the help.
bye Sprite, and congrats
bye sprite.
bye sprite thanks for the help :)
good job on the M words, yogo, and good luck finding others
thanks
i put a word into the add word box and it says that is a word but it is nor coming up in the word list :(
That does sometimes happen, yogo. Try another word, then go back to it. Sometimes it seems to get stuck!
is anyone still here???
:(
cool u r here :)
i cant find another word...lol... :(
i did what u said and it still didntwork...
maybe it is not meant to be a word in this puzzle...
what word is it?
If you put in a word that isn't in Babble's dictionary, just under the Add Word box it will show in red, with a message saying word not found in dictionary, or something like that. If the word is successful, it will show in green, saying Last word added: ...
actor...oops was i meant to write it like that :)
nope lol
but it should accept it
refresh the page
no yogo you should have written it like ac5/12 and it is a valid word in the grid.
what does it say when you put that word in Yogo?
yeh it did come up green but it is not showing in my list and if i add it again it says i have already added that word.....
oops sorry.....
morning sally and yogo and anyone else who is here
hi Kallia
Then refresh (F5) as Kallia says
i will refesh the page ill just be a sec

( in a nut shell...sorry for any repeat to those on here who have already heard it all)
that has been the last 3 months of life fm...

life has... been... interesting... but on the up side..off to an international camp in 1 1/2 weeks for 10 days..me and 5000 teenaged girls from around the world
LOL that will be a breeze for you :)
carlee, never heard this before, just remember life is like a stock market and you are in a bear market at the moment
the kids are fab.... my daughter just graduated from grade school..got science award..and honor roll...finished her canada cord in 2 years instead of the required 3...

Carlee so sorry to hear about your Dad!

That year I lost my dad, my mother in law and one of my best friends
I now know it is part of life's journey
loss is always so hard...

hard to endure sometimes but we prevail - women are amazing creatures

is this grid just ugh...or is it me out of practise?
I think its a bit ugh
ok... cus i am not liking it
but then the smaller ones usually are
It is not too bad overall but has a few doozies as you would expect from babble.
i'm not liking it
hang in there the babble feeling will come back. I have to head off for a while but am glad we bumped into eachother - take care hun!
you too fm..enjoy the new garden...have a cuppa out there for me :)
will do :))
bye bye FM
Bye Nono.
why are there certain words that always elude me? It just took me a good 5 minutes looking for the single bottom e in the right column..... a word that does that to me every single time its in the grid
i always miss the goose
no idea...and the clothes smoother...
oh I hate that word....... never see it!
i have that experience too nono... it's like "word blindness" or something...
hi ubgrud
the words are twisting the wrong way for me
hi ubg
and it doesnt matter how often the word is in the grid, the blinders are still in place
turn your monitor on its side
funny Esprit....
lol Hi Jean
;-]
hi Nan, how are you doing?

good morning Sue
hello everyone
{{Annie}} good morning! How have you been, haven't seen you lately. I hope all is well.
((Mom)) I am pretty good. went to the doctor, being treated for acid reflux. ugh.
oh Annie, I am so sorry. I am glad that it is treatable
the doctor thinks so. have to have an endoscopy next week.
I wish you well
Mom, How is your mother?
oh Annie, her procedure was a success.
Mom, that is absolutely wonderful. I am so happy for all of you. What a relief.
One vertabrae is completely flat so they were not able to do that one but another doctor is going to study it, he like the difficult cases.
Thank you for thinking of her
Mom, I hope the doctor who likes the difficult cases can help her.
so do I, thanks
has the doctor given you medicine?
Yes, I started it this morning. crossy takes the same medicine..says it takes a fews days
hopefully buy mid week you will have some relief
looking forward to it

wish I lived closer so I could help you out
yes, I was just thinking I could do the same..you are in my prayers
and I am sure you would too
and if Annie and I couldn't do your office work, we could keep up the house and do the marketing, then when you came home you could just sit
AND it would not cost you one red cent

Amen, Annie
Ok, spend time with the kids, take them to the park, go sit by a lake, fish

ok. I gotta go clean someone's house in a few...
Good morning/afternoon all. The sun's shining at Wimbledon but not here any more.. I suppose we need some rain.
hi Haz
Hiya, Haz!
Hello! Just looking in to see what's afoot.
not much going on in here
Do we need to start a rumour?
Not that I'd have any idea how to do something like that.
Rumor? Don't even know 'er.
Didn't Demi Moore call one of her children Rumer or something?
Yes, Haz. She has another one names Scout.
*named*
hmm..I don't know
is one named after Ashton
No. She has no children with Ashton. I think she's past the child bearing age.
I could never quite understand why you'd call a child Scout. I suppose they had their reasons.
I have 24 left... mostly on my own.I like this grid. Did somebody mention "The Prisoner?"
People name their children all sorts of weird name.
I think she was a big fan of "To Kill a Mockingbird".
I don't mind Rumer, but Scout sounds like a dog's name.
There was an author named I think Rumer Godden- I read her when I was a kid. She wrote about India, and coming of age stuff.
There was a champion Bichon named Rumour [has it]
Apparently Rumer is Slovakian for gipsy. You heard it here first.
Are you TV reminiscing?
Oooh. Good factoid, Haz.
It's bound to come up in Babble some time, if it hasn't already.
Let's hope we get a chance to ease it into conversation sometime soon.
*singing* Rumers, tramps and theives...*
continue Judi
I can never make out the next line of that song.
only Cher know
knows
*people of the town - they call us rumers, tramps and theives... and every night when the men would come around, they'd lay their money down..."
It's like one of the lines in 'Top Cat' 'Whose intellectual close friends get to call him TC, providing ??????
..scratch that.. CHer and Judi...
Hello, ruru.
*flips hair and licks top lip*
gm Haz
LOL judi
Cher is one of the writers featured in my new assortment of Shortest Books in the world. Her contribution is 'Natural Beauty' with a foreword by Joan Rivers.
Judi your are so funny
She was great in Silkwood. Stole the screen from Merle Streep.
She really can act. Moonstruck was also great.
she was great in MOonstruck
*echo* ??
LOVED Moonstruck
(Joining in) Wasn't she fabulous in Moonstruck?
yes yes yes
See, Une thinks so as well.
she was always great singing with Sonny
Witches of Eastwick - not so great.
wish she had done more dramatic roles . . .
she puts on a hell of concert show too
*thank goodness she didn't ski with him though*
ruru LOLOL!!
ROFL Ru
I couldn't watch Witches of Eastwick - didn't it feature Jack Nicholson? He gives me the creeps.
yep
I can't picture Cher on skis. I would think crotchless downhilling would be too dangerous.
but his early films like Chinatown were great
that would make the moguls more interesting I guess judi
Frostbitten hoochy would not be conducive to one's career.
I agree with Haz Jack is a weirdo
But Jack Nicholson was great in 'Cuckoo's Nest' and 'The Shining'
He may be a wonderful ac5 etc, I just can't stand to watch him.
lol. Jack just gets more creepy as he ages.
agreed, mm!!
judi, and i don't like him in all the "cutesy" films . . . ugh
oh..he was fantastic in the shining
(and Chinatown)
And Batman
Yeah, Une - he just doesn't cut it as a romantic leading man. Chinatown was his best film I think.
And 'A Few Good Men'
''You can't handle the truth!!!!!!!''
Who you talking about, Jack Benny?
mm, Girl Who Played with Fire opening at our arthouse theater July 30-- can't wait!!
hey, BR!
Jack Nicholson, BR. Get with the programme!
Jack (shudder) Nicholson. Hello, Babble Rabble.
Follow up to Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Hello
yep, mm, and loved it -- terrific film!
What did Jack do? Seems like he is always an extra at laker games
so excited that same cast is in second film
hey BR
BR we were comparing Early Jack with Current Jack
I can't wait either Une. Saw the first movie and have read all three books. Thought the last book was as good as the first.
Girl who Played with Fire out 27 Aug over here......can't wait
Hello, Boobear.
He was at the Yankee game yesterday
bichon, never got around to reading the books but was blown away by the first film!
he looks terrible.. all those years of drugs and alcohol
Only jack I remember is the one with the bandaged nose.
yes rur
Une, you MUST read at least the first book. It's so well written
He had that helmet in Easy Rider
bichon, i know . . . i've heard nothing raves re the whole trilogy
but you should see the pile of books awaiting me on my bedside table LOL
being a chronic insomniac, I do buzzsaw thru a lot of books . . .
*nothing but raves*
I liked Jack in "The Bucket List" - even though it was a depressing cancer movie.
couldn't watch that.. a waste of Morgan Freeman
Fireworks, by the way.
was he in the postman only rings twice?
Nicholson? yes
congrats, judi
Congratulations, Judi, by the way.
I think Morgan Freeman makes some movies just for fun. I mean, really - after you've played God, you should have your pick and choose.
Not only has he played God, but also the President of the US and Nelson Mandela.
his best..Driving Miss Daisy and Shawshank Redemption
have noticed he's doing a lot of voiceovers too
and Seven, ruru
Morgan Freeman God in Bruce Almighty US President in Deep Impact Nelson Mandela in Invictus
Hi babble friends
hey, beach
Hello, beach.
This is an extremely friendly grid. I have 8 left so I'll have to finish for the first time in forever. Hope I'm not too busy at work!
I agree ruru. Even if the movie he's in sucks, he's still good in it. And, thank you for that clarification, Movieman!
*the Academy agrees with me.. by the way*
go, kaplan!!
P.S. - God in Evan Almighty, too.

Ar6/27: where the guns are kept.

I have to watch Invictus. Is it good, Movieman?
Never seen it Judi

But apparantly it is

Hiya pe4
Hello, peri.

Damn. We all think alike. We've been Babbling too long.
Got it.
my sister and I had our 6year babble anniv last week
GASP! Movieman has not seen a movie?? *faints*
It looks like it works as well. Kaplan thinks like a babbler!

ty judi
But, weren't you going to see "The A-Team'?
i'm sure I've told you all that I went to Psycho w/ my best buddies for my birthday -- my dad thought it was Vertigo -- I was totally traumatized!!!
That's an adaptation of a TV series Judi
need ro6, fr5, and er5. I have the fr that is the foam of a soda
no showers for a year!!
er5 is a girl's name
ro6 adds a vowel to the end of the ro5 preceding.
I got the ea. I have that er already thanks
fr5 is head on beer
I have that fr5- I need another one
fr5/16 - almost like the Jacques brother so often sung about, just change a vowel

Gotta go do real work now. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

Une, how is rafa's knee?
Bye then
hey there BR, hve not seen you in a while. How are you doing?
BR, reports indicate that it's not perfect and may cause him some problems.
cute icon, Une
I am totally unhinged at this time and swinging is out for the interim.
Thanks, Haz.
Is this yourself or a door you're talking about, BR?
Ru, how is Dylan doing?
g'morning
are you not able to swing in the hammock, BR?
Hello, specificity.
I have been experiencing some inexplicables that are of concern.
That's not so good. I hope you find solutions.
Hello, specificity.
what happened to Spangle??
back... dylan is doing well Br Thanks for askin
What is wrong, if I may ask.
Haz flowers in your icon are very pretty, but I miss Spangle
You want her back?
yes
And here I was, thinking I'd get brownie points with the icon theme lovers.... I'll change back.
but only if you want to, Haz
lol haz
Hands Haz a tissue for the brownies
is the theme flowers? then I am on target for once
sooner or later it has to come around to you peri..lol
of the theme is lovers, then I am not on target :(
There. Normal service has been restored. You may need to refresh.
64 left, need a break. wish I had some gin, would love a gin and tonic
thank goodness haz.. we can now recognize you
there she is, hello pretty girl
I can give you Spangle, so to speak, but I can't give you gin, sorry, peri.
I cannot recall a time I my icon was coincidental with the theme.
ok, off for a while, bbl, going to be 97 degrees F today
your icons are very dark and moody BR as a rule
*poof*
I have to admit, I deliberately don't follow the theme as an act of rebellion against all the pleas to follow the theme. Does that make me an awful renegade?
fits my dark and moody moods
hmmm...
I do whatever I want with Icons..
sending some sunshine your way, BabbleRabble.. hi all
Free Spirits Unite!
I appreciate the creativity that many have with it..but it isn't for me
I particularly like this photo of the polar bear
hello Aloy
I know - I'm quite happy for others to take time and trouble over it, but I hate being chivvied into it. So, I rebel.
Hello, Aloyisius. Thanks for the sunshine. Pax vobiscum.
and back atcha, BR.. hi ruru.. still chuckling over your musical puns
which ones?
Hello, Aloy, nice to see you and your sunshine.
the orchestra evening.. remember?
(haz.. rebel with some paws)
oh yes.. that was fun
hi Haz.. I agree with Peri.. I miss Spangle when she is not here
<------ fine set of paws.
I expect a fine set of maws too.
It's funny, I don't even recognise myself when Spangle isn't used. But she's back now.
see you bring back spangle and peri leaves..
fish me, I'm so ir5..
Good morning to all babblers!How's everyone doing today
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go
Hello, Minveryork. A bright flower!
hi Minver.. okie dokie here
Hello, Minveryork. How are you parsnips?
FM should post one of the beauties she raised as her icon for the day
I think she does have some of her pots in the picture, or she had earlier.
Minver...i luv your greeeeeeen flower!
ooh, I missed her.. rats
She's online, Aloy, you could see the pic on her profile. Nice geraniums.
ty Haz..
Was reading chog earlier. I am also one not to always follow icon themes. I used to follow it religiously and I was one of those who begged other babblers to follow the theme,but then I became a hypocrite and I started to not follow the theme anymore.If I don't care for the theme that day,then I do not do it.I do something else
No problem, Aloy.
Thank you aebmusica and hello there!It has been awhile.
However,I do still wish people would do theme on Fridays
It's one of these things that a few get very involved with and can't seem to help wishing that others would as well, but it just doesn't seem that important to me. I wish it could be accepted and not sighed over.
yes it has....
Hello, aebmusica.
well, I stick with my sun for practical reasons.. am not so skilled on the computer as to be able to retrieve my sun once I replace it.. any tips on that?
hi BR and all!
Only thing I sigh over here is when I do not get fireworks.
on another subject, I have not received an email from Dr_God about changes on the site.. feeling left out..
Don't look to me for help, Aloy! I like your sun.
Paste your sun onto your desktop, then you can upload it.
Aloy, maybe you've changed your e-mail address or something?
I'm sure he wouldn't leave you out deliberately. Have you had it forwarded to you?
I did when my laptop crashed, Haz.. but I still have the server email that I used for Babble profile
.. or Babble account info I should say
I got an e-mail, but I did not respond. Maybe send him an email and ask him to send it to you Or I could paste email into chat log if you want. That is what Jacula did before.
Aloy, right click on the sun, click on "Copy image location" and save it documents or some other file. When you want to use it again, browse to the location and upload it.
Well, I'm sure FM would send it onto you, you have her e-mail, don't you? It's just a request for feedback and ideas for how babble can be improved.
ty BabbleRabble and Minver for the ideas.. I will try them out for sure.. hey, then I can post my grandaughter's pic once in a while (-:
We'd love to see your granddaughter!
Grettings all :)
Here she is!
Suitable salutations, FM!
ok, I will pursue.. as it happens, Dr G was in chat one day when crossie and I were discussing ideas.. I suggested a change in dictionary to the official Scrabble or SOWPODS. yAY.. hi FM
My ears were burning so I thought I had better pop into babble land.
Aloyisius,here's the email that Dr. God sent to all babblers Fellow Pro Babbler- I realized this morning that I've been neglecting Babble lately, and I'm thinking it's time I gussied the site up a bit. So I'm asking for your feedback. I welcome any and all feedback. Let your brain juices flow! A few sample questions/topics: What do you like the most about Babble? What do you dislike the most about Babble? What feature(s) would you like to see added to Babble? How could the Babble community be strengthened? Your feedback can be nit-picky or can include pie-in-the-sky dreams. It's all good to me. Thanks and Happy Babbling! - Dr_God Babble Overlord
glad you popped on in, FM... what are your ideas for the site?
oh, ty so much Minver!
Aloyisius, I just tried my idea and it did not work. So please ignore it.
yw
Apart from getting enable upaded thats about it.
ok, BR... I got some kind of file download going on when I tried a right click, so I stopped it
hello all... just poking my nose in to say hello and see the grid.
Seen many changes to the babble format and to babble itself, it will evolve.
I had a few suggestions, but have no idea if they're feasible or not.
I would love to have some of the long-term players be able to flush trolls
Hi stiddy#
Hello, stidmama.
not a bad size... might go ahead and start
hey BR!!! ***many hugs***
use a tissue stid
hi there stidmama the studying fiend.. how are you?
oh.. you said poking your nose
Hello, stid
Jamie didn't like that idea last time it was suggested but then again it what qhite a while ago ruru.
Aloyisius try this: right click on our sunny icon.Close all windows and right click again and goto paste.Icon will appear on your desktop. Whenever you want to use it, you can then upload it to change your icon on Babble.
*pokes nose at ruru*
I am okay Aloyisius, the migraine is almost gone and I feel human again.
Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
there is another site where players like you two have that ability.. would be nice if we could dispatch them more quickly
thanks min -- cute flower today!
how could he not like the idea.. oh, I remember a problem a long time ago with the Scrabble people.. too similar or something so he changed the tile values.. maybe that is why he doesn't use the official Scrabble dict..
but not be able to dispatch anyone who has signed up for pro
stid, I'm so glad the headache is gone.. may it stay gone!
Thanks stidmama.
having said that we really don't get trolls like we used to (trying not to tempt fate)!
yes, DrG would have to use open-source, free-use material to avoid problems
What are trolls?
Well, I have not seen any changes to babble since he sent out that email. But then again, maybe nobody responded
nasty pranksters with foul mouths helen.
trolls are nasty, evil creatures who hide under the grid and foul the chog....
I responded. He said I was thorough. I think he means that I'm dangerously obsessed.
hello, I would love to have a troll dispatcher button! sort of like a cyber flush?
LOL.. Minver, did you mean minimize instead of close? Got kicked off the site when I closed Babble.. see, told you I wasn't so skilled
Hello helensgirlkid!How are you doing?Welcome to puzzle
Minver - he won't have made any changes yet, it takes time to update a website!
I recall one not long ago - responded to being politely answered/ignored, as appropriate by going away - I was amazed at my fellow babblers for patience and efficiency!
hey red!
I love this one - lots of meaty words.
Hi.
Not loving it, but I am a bit cranky today.
I wanted a rolling transcript of news so that it wouldn't have to be repeated 50 million times that Lickety hadn't posted.
Oh, sorry Aloysisius! Yes, minimize. Sorry you lost Babble.
*looking for steak and lambchops*
hi red! hot in paradise?
Got to go make some phone calls - back later. Good luck all.
HowDy, Aloy
red is cranky. I will try not to annoy red. Who has made you cranky?
lol, np Minver.. will retry
Oh lordy yes aly. 80 degrees at 4am today...
LOL Haz, the ticker tape across the bottom of the screen would be fun :)
Hello redturtlehead!Sorry to hear you're in a cranky mood
just the heat Haz, and running in the heat....but I am fine really. very drained and tired.
oh red, that's INSANE!
crossy is back!!!
heat and humidity can make you very cranky
Yes, you could turn the ticker tape off if it got too annoying.
And I have already seen one helicopter leave work today which means maybe a bad night there...
I woke up cranky, but have mellowed
Yay!
Somebody suggested before to have an edit button in the chog. I agreed because I never edit my story of clues I do.
Hello, crossy!
A ticker tape across the babble screen? Red perks up!
hey bichon. I woke up feeling fine, but now that work is staring me in the face I am cranky (and avoiding by babbling)
I got the sun saved but took a few steps
hey cross
It's beastly in the NE today. My Bichon tossed his cookies it's so hot
wb, crossy
Hello crosshair!How are you doing?Welcome to the puzzle
Any editing I do involves scrubbing out a lot of what I might say but think better left unsaid...
It is flipping hot here too.
tell me about the ticker tape!
I'm listening, BabbleRabble.. (bowing to expertise)
Hi bichon! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid
hi bichon.
not hot hear at the moment, but may get there. I have the doors all open to cool the house down a bit.
It's raining here! Stop all complaints about the weather! I'm far worse off than any of you!
Rain is good, makes plants grow
air-conditioners running here
Can I have your rain please Haz?
looks at haz sweetly and asks her ot please send the rain here....though we do seem to have some storm clouds anyway...
Stidmama, how do you get your hair to grow so quickly? It seems to grow amazingly fast!
euro
Oh man sorry.
If I could share the rain, I surely would. Apparently it's just what gardeners and farmers were looking for.
i love the rain:) especially on my days off,cause it means there is someone else standing out there all day listening to the citiots whine
It has slowed down, Haz -- used to grow up to about 6 inches a year, now more like 4-5. About the only thing in my body that "works" properly! LOL
thanks red!
It is the fertile and lush conditions in stiddy neck of the woods!
need one other tile for NBT now...
heads into the pb.
I'm just so impressed, stid, it seems like no time since it was short.
the solo O please?
My hair grows fast too, but I just got 18 inches cut off and I donated it to Locks of Love. Not sure if I like new style.
o plus a twitch.
ear related stid
Oh wow Minver, well done!
wish I could take credit Haz, but if it took work it wouldn't happen.
thanks ruru and Haz
18 inches? That's a LOT of hair. Well done!
mo 7?
that's neat Miner
mo7 - combine death with frozen water to get a type of lock.
dead frozen water is mo 7
Is your new hair style very short?
tyvm Haz
I donate my cut hair as well. Was going to wait until I was done with the Master's program to cut it again, but now think I will do it this summer and just hope it's long enough. It will probably be the last time I do it. I can't have long hair when I work, it takes too much effort to keep it tidy.
thanks for the mo 7
You're welcome, bichon.
my cut hair went to the Gulf, glad to say
Happy Babbling all, must be off and did only pop in to say hello!
and with NBT I shall have to bid you-all adieu... MUCH housework to do this morning, followed by "school" for the stidkid who needs some extra practice.
***hugs and choclits for all*** see you later! *Poof*
me too, FM.. I have to leave this fun group.. see you all next time!
Goodbye FMitch! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log.
Toodle-oo Stid and FM!
.. oh, almost forgot.. pax, BabbleRabble
I wrote about my haircut in my story of clues once. Yes, it is very short. It could be shorter. It is almost to shoulders.
Byeeeee!
Be well, Aloy and stid and FM
Be well, Aloy and stid and FM
Goodness, does that mean it was beyond your waist before, Minver?
Adios stidmama!I will see you later in the chat log maybe.
Yes Haz1558.
It was driving my husband crazy because I kept shedding.
Dear me. I tried my hardest to grow my hair as a teenager but it got to shoulder length and wouldn't budge.
It would also get into the dog's mouth and we would have to pull it out of his rear end, but were scared it would get caught around something in his body. So I had to cut hair
But you didn't tell the hairdresser that.
About six months ago, I cut off about 12 or 13 inches of hair and eight inches of beard
hi all
Hello, Barb's
Hello, Barb's horses.
And did you like the new look, BR?
Hi Barb's Horses! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
new look?
I try not to look
Hi everybody. Minver - you remind me of t
hic - the hair of the dog....
I am ok Min and you?
Wow BabbleRabble, 18 inches of beard!It must have been down to the feet!How did you manage your beard so long
Hello Soodle.
Eight inches, Minver!
8
Hello Soodlebum!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
There was an old man with a beard Who said 'It is just as I feared Two cats and a wren
But you still have a beard now, BR? You've not succumbed to all the advertising for these razors that promise so much?
I braided my beard so it matched my nose and ear hairs
Four ducks and a hen have all made their nests in my beard.
BR are you a member of ZZ Top?
EIGHT inches NOT 18 inches, DUH!Now I feel really dumb!
What a picture!
my beard is about eight inches now.
If you use this razor, you too can play tennis like Federer and ... okay, we'll not carry on with the Tiger Woods element.
Using a teenchy little netbook today, and cant get used to the tiny keyboard.
No offense guys, but I prefer clean shaven men.Don't like the prickly feeling when I kiss my hubby with his shadow.
tiger wood's had a close shave.. haz
I am using a Macintosh and can't get used to no Microsoft.
If people dared to talk to me, they mentioned ZZ Top
Thierry Henry was the other one in the tr4/4 of men used to advertise that razor. He's only the one who cheated France into the World Cup.
*note to self.. do not introduce Minver to Osama Bin Laden*
But a proper beard wouldn't be prickly, would it? It's only when it's in the early stubbly phase that it's unpleasant.
Would not want to meet him even if he was clean shaven.
lessee.. this is fun
osculating is now is a distant memory
does the lessor thing so?
think
need to eat back later have fun all bye
Bye, Barb's.
Does anybody have a clue for that pe 5/20 word please?
be well, Barb's
pe5 crab
pe+high score tile+two vowels
Goodbye Barb's Horses! I will see you later in the chat log!
pe5/20 - add another vowel into the snub nosed Chinese dog.
or pe 5 tea
Thank you for the pe 5/20 clues. I finally found the word.
You're welcome.
I thought the pe 5 was a good played with babies?
game
pr 6?
Don't know if babies get tired of it, but adults seem to love it.
Does anyone have a clue for the pr 8/55 word yet please?
pr 6/27 word is pr 5/12 plus the sometimes vowel bichon.
something sticking out too far minvery
pr6 - a religious house
need to get to work.. bye for now...
Thank you for your pr8/55 clues. I finally found the word.
Bye RuRu.
Goodbye rururocks! I will see you later in the chog maybe
ty again Haz
P's Popped! 4 left
T's Toppled! 3 left which I think I will save for later today.
bichon,do U need anymore clues before I log off for now?
I've got 14 left, so no thank you Minver
Hello Babblers. This is my first grid since last Wednesday. I was away and had no internet service. It was tough.
Hello Scrabbler.
Hi Soodlebum
Hello Scrabbler! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
wire
Oops, no Babble Expert here at the office.
Hello, Scrabbler.
Hi Min
hi Haz
I'm just heading off, but nice to see you.
Okay, time to head off. Enjoy the grid and see you tomorrow. Bye!
Bye Haz!
BYe! *gone*
Dilemma: 4 people rent a cabin for a vacation. At last minute 2 people opt out of trip. Should those 2 people still pay their portion of the rental cost?
Yes, if money has been paid for the rental, then it is a done deal and they should still pay
Hey Scrabs, I think they should, for sure.
I agree, but those 2 people have yet to make offer to pay so now I must ask.
Who paid actual cash fo the rental?
Who paid actual cash fo the rental?
that will be awkward Scrabs
hello all
first ar7 pls
bedroom funiture
Just doing request on phone.
got it, ty bichon
yvw
Need clues for ke4/11 and ko4. Help please.
If you paid fo the rental and the money can't be refunded, I would guess you need ask the non comers to pay. It's touchy and awkward
I agree with Bichon. Mind you, they shouldn't have left Scrabbler in the position of having to ask. They should have done the decent thing, and stumped up!
Well, I just asked the one friend and she paused, then said she would pay for both herself + the other woman (was sick the night before we were to leave.) $164 total--not small amt. But, to cancel the morning of departure was, I thought, disrespectful.
hi everyone.
I gave them a few days to make the offer to pay, and they did not, so I just did it.
Hi Minski
good for you Scrabs
You live and learn, Scrabbler!
It's 86 degrees with 96% humidity outside and my daughters are sharing a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch. I think I'm just going to crawl into the refrigerator and take a nap.
I have been SO anxious about this for the entire vacation, and now I am proud that I handled the issue.
Yucky, Minski. I forget where you live.
you shouod be proud,Scrabs it was an awkward situation
KE 4/11 If you have a cold, you may use a hand***chie*.
going up to 97 today, don't know the humidity and don't want to know
And the KO sounds like the leftover bit of an eaten apple.
bs
Thanks Peri
I am so relieved, Peri. I didnot want hard feelings, either from me wanting to get paid the owed $, or for her arguing that she didn't need to pay.
Thank Soo
Lol. Your welcome, Kenny.
I live in Massachusetts just North of Boston.
Scrabbler, you dealt with the situation well. Where are you going on your trip?
Oh Heavens above. My 18 yr old daughter has just come home with a tattoo - a small star on her inner wrist. :-(
Watch it Soodle - they appear to multiply. Mydaughter had a small one on her shoulder - now she must have several hundred pounds worth of them - back, ankle, wrist - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!
My cousin did that at 18. Her parents had a hemiplastic fit and made her get an AIDS test. It is a tiny butterfly just inside her bikini line.
Sorry, busy on phone. We just spent 4 days in Cook Forest in Cooksburg, PA---wonderful place on the Clarion River. Great kayaking + hiking!
I don't understand tattoos personally. Aside from my Daughters and DH, I can't think of anything I love enough to want it on my body at 85.
Sorry, Soodle. Her choice, her consequence to deal with.
I agree--I have zero interest in a permanent skin mark.
*flops* what a weekend!
Minski, my friend's sister lives in North Andover.
I didnt get me ears pierced till I was 56 - then I could nt bear to look at the 'holes' for weeks!!
p
I had always told the kids that if they came home with a tattoo, I would get one too - I thought the shame of a tattooed mother would prevent them from getting one. And NO! This time I will not carry out my threat!
Really shock them Soodle - have your tongue pierced!!
Ata! Good or Bad 'what a weekend'?
good and bad. sister's big op went all very wrong which caused a lot of chaos
Uh, oh, Ata, what happened?
Oh I am so sorry. What happened?
he opened her up, discovered the hernia hole was actually a great big network of smaller holes, found adhesions between anything and everything and closed her back up before she could bleed out. Poor surgeon guy!
surgeon said it was the first time he'd ever had to completely back away from an operation *sigh8
So what happens now, Ata?
well that is an interesting question!
lunchtime. bbl8r.
he said the whole thing could potentially rip / rupture any day, so she's under strict orders to do nothing. they are going to look into doing a really serious op at a big research hospital with a GI surgeon and a plastic surgeon to take out most of the bowel and reconstuct the internal walls. But whether she'd survive that is another atter
*matter
Can she be treated with meds?
not for that, nope
OH, that is just too bad. How old is she?
37
Hi all. How is it that some Babblers leave for lunch and some come to Babbleland for lunch?
Ata, That is so unfortunate about your sister.
Ata, that is just terrible. I am very sorry to hear it.
she;s not going to have any organs left!!! poor girl
How sad, Ata. I am so sorry.
soooo we'll see what happens! but she's at home again now which cheered her up immensely
Poor girl, Ata!
How is she feeling now?
Hi wht. I am here during my lunch break.
Hi ATA - so sorry to hear about your sister
depressed!
is wht taking a poll - here on lunch as well
Hi River. Hows Keith?
He is good - just hanging about playing video games
It is 6.30 in the evening here and I am watching - well-listening to the Murray match at Wimbledon
and chasing his sister off the computer when he can
I'm here on lunch too. Not taking a poll but I noticed that Minski was leaving for lunch just as I arrrived for lunch.
Lol. Deeha - You shouldn't have given that time-check. I should be cooking dinner. Now I'm not cooking dinner, and feeling mildly guilty.
popcorn is good for dinner...
we are letting Keith choose our dinners all week - he is killing me at the grocery store
Uh, oh, first 2 afternoon patients have arrived--sisters. I will have to leave soon.
watching Murray too
most kids want junk - mine wants delmonico steaks and haddock
two for the price of one???
I always book my kids together too
Phew. Fireworks -Now I can go and feed the starving... Bye everybody.
Yep, we call 2 sib appts "doubles". The most I ever did was a group of 6 sibs together--chaos!
congrats and bye soodle
yikes
my sons pediatrician called last week when she heard about Keith - she recommended a medical bracelet or pendant - I need to look into that
Groups of sibs = teasing, laughing, inattention, pissed off mother, confusion...
Yes, if he has WPW.
Your pharmacy will have info.
they are doing the ablation next week
So he had the cardiac cath already?
no - all at the same time - they are sure they will find wpw looking at his ekg's and history
Over the years, I have known many kids that all did well with their ablation procedures. Youngest was 6.
what did they decide was wrong with him, river?
He was a triplet, born with SVT that recurred for years.
it will all depend on where this pathway is - if near the AV node that could be a problem
Ata, read about Wolffe-Parkinson-White Syndrome and delta waves.
ooo ok
I must review the charts of these sisters + go see them. BBL, if I have a chance.
bye scrabbs
oh gosh. that must have been a bit of a shock for you, river! good luck to him next week :)
ata - it is a funky thing with the electrical part of his heart that maintains the beat -
to say the least - his heart rate went over 300 for over 40 minutes
at pre-op the Doc said is that happened again, he may not pull out of it so well
so we are encouraging TV, video games, computer
ae 5/12??
Good luck RD. Lunch is over for me. bbl.
funny in our household as we have always limited those things and thrown the kids outside
thanks and bye wht
lol I bet. and of course at any other time he'd love spending time on the computer but now he probably wants to get outside and play?7
hang in river
sammy no ae5 on this grid
ac5 is one who is in a play/movie
dammmmmmmm- eyes are blurry... thanks
where did you live in Maine sammysmom
hi
gd evening everybody
90 words this morning, back for a few, hopefully, now!
Hello ormal and ruby
just noticed you both on - I am working but glance at the chog every now and then
Popping for 10 min before leaving for work
hello dancer and ormal!
this seems like a really tough puzzle
maybe I can help
not so bad!
hi, how are you all today?
maybe my brain just needs a little waking up
as long as I have more than half, I'm happy!
that beautiful ar7/32 in your bedroom must hold some ch4/7 clothing or could be er6/21 with a signifant other. and dont forget the wh4/10 for fun
naughty dancer!! hahah
I have all those and the ar7 is in the studio!
lately I have been wearing the ar5/12 for protection
how about the gy + primary color
nice gy, ty
or the wh4
lately I have been a wi5 and sounds the same as the wi4/10
my 10 are up...see you all in a few hours!
bye Miz
bye Miz
bye miz, see you tomorrow
it's raining cats and dogs here - going to ruin my ride tonight.
we are under alert for severe storm watch until 9 tonight
must be coming up from your way
we could use some rain as no matter how much we get, because we're on a hillside, two days later it's very dry
I think it must be. I knew it was supposed to rain, but I have a small creek building in my yard.
I hope your house is on high ground, ormal
sure is, but the neighbors aren't quite so lucky. last time it rained like this their basements got fairly wet
so what kind of ride did you have planned for tonight
I try to ride my bike about 7 miles 5-6 days a week around the lake here in town in an attempt to lose some of the weight gained by quitting smoking.
thats great - too bad we are so far away from each other - I desperately need to do something too
I understand. It has taken a lot of time to get myself motivated and it's always better when you have someone to help keep you motivated.
hey ruby - you still here
yes, quietly struggling to get a word or two
I feel rotten, everything hurts... whine whine!
do you have the pr8 - to stick out
did you overdo today
yup
yes to that, too
but overdoing doesn't take much I'm afraid!
I'm on the list now and was quite sure there could not possibly be that many th words today...so far I only have one. lol
a nice cold cocktail will help that - must be getting close to cocktail hour
th5/14 = th* end + the **t in the hat
no, time to go now, see you tomorrow!
add another vowel for the th6/24
*pouting* if you must ((ruby))
very nice, that brought me up to 101! nice even number. Thanks for your help, RD! ((hugs))
take care ruby!
ty ormal
*poof*
Back again. 4 mo4 patients are scheduled for my afternoon.
Anybody have the O word?
busy day
evening everyone
Hi Katie
o + small nasty biting bug
I am at the Indian Reservation Health Ctr every Monday.
yeah, the o word is o + an involuntary muscle twitch
HOW did I not see that word?
HOW did I not see that word?
Post-vacation coma--seriously!
must have been those sisters...
lol, sometimes snakes can hide right in front of you and you never see them - that's how I often feel about some words in here
They were adorable!
is this volunteer work scrabbler?
Our practice provides pediatric coverage here--18 miles east of our main office. I like it--interesting experience.
I'm sure it is.
I mean west. We have another office 15 miles east of the main one too.
hello. I'm back again.
just got the pr8. what's the other 8?
My neighbor who is a NICU nurse has some funny stories to tell when she worked on an indian reservation with a midwife while in college.
Hello again, Minski.
fireworks here
Yahoo wvteach!!!
he8/55
he 8
congrats teach
congrats wvteach
The location doesn't change the fact that poverty + lack of education lead to many, many problems, whether on this reservation, inner city, rural areas, etc. It is a sad, daily encounter for me.
I found he6 and 8 on my own!
me too Scrabbler. I just needed to hear that the 8 built on a 6 and they jumped out at me.
well, sort of on my own.......
fireworks. I can't believe the words I missed the first time through!
congrats ormal
anyone need any hints before I go?
I'm heading out as well - happy babbling
see ya later then - wishes you all a good day/night
off I go again. 5 year old want to "exercize" and have a picnic in the livingroom. later taters.
Yippee Ormal!! Bye all--patient has arrived.
i'm going mad here, could I please have a clue for the ch5/22 if there is anyone left

WTG Kazzer
This might be my last time here for awhile
i love your photo. Was it taken in China
lack of access in china?
well nite all - I will be back
hello...quiet in here.
hi, NB, yes it's oft quiet this time of day in here - mid-afternoon in NA, mid-evening in Eu
Hi NB. Just come on to finish last 25. Like your new picture.
oh, yes, that is a lovely photo, NB!
Oh, thank you both :) I just changed it though! Apparently it confused some babblers, because they thought it was a waxwork ;)
Back to finish the last 89 (that seems like such a big number!)
hi, sally and miz
hi, Miz :)
hey dc!
and everyone else!
hi dc and all.
a surprising number of my NA friends are travelling in Australia this month.
Back in a minute
crossy is happily doing e-book file conversions for his new nook reader;)
cool, crossy. which reader?
lol dc,it is the best time to go and not fry like an egg over there;0
a barnes and noble "nook" reader.i had my brother pick one up as he went through the states
Well, the friends are all from here around DC, where it's been 90+ in F and in humidity for weeks, so most anywhere else is more pleasant wether-wise
though some strong thunder cells moved through, and temp fell by 15 F
it is the aussie winter i believe,so they will be more comfy
I look fwd to hearing how you like it. I don't think i know anyone else with a nook.
I could do with a little winter weather right now. I don't mind the heat, but when it gets this warm everyone in Britain gets undressed and...some shouldn't
they are only avail in the states so i had to get it this way and i love it so far!
sadly, so far Summer here has been as hot as Winter was cold and snowy.
hello, folks - how's everyone?
i wonder why only in the states. B&N has stores in Canada, no?
hi, jbv. well, ty, and you?
howdy jbv
hi, JBV :)
hi seain - everything's fine - tomorrow is my LAST DAY of work ! (can't believe it yet..)
NB, that's a great photo of you smiling - are you smiling again these days?
congrats on your retirement, jbv :D
what do you have planned, post-retirement, jbv?
well, MizHoffle, I plan to relax, to de-stress, to sleep late, etc. and then get started on a few personal projects
hi all, congrats jbv, hope its a good last day!
sounds perfect!
a lot more than I was, JBV, thank you ;) and congratulations!
I might even start playing the piano again -
howdy, red
piano playing is fun :)
Back. How's the new flat working out NB?
thanks, red - it's really only a 1/2 day of work, then a luncheon to celebrate all the retirements among the supervisors
yes,seain, I used to get many hours of enjoyment but then let it go, so I will have to practice, practice, practice to get back where I was
I'm loving it, thanks, Sally! It's in a great location - the pride street party will be right on my doorstep!
NB, glad to hear you found a new place!!
So pleased about the flat.
oh, so glad you found a new flat :) and that you like it.
thank you, all! yeah, it's a great place - my flatmate is very sweet, as well. and the two moggies are adorable ;)
Moggies? There are moggies? Why aren't they in your icon?
clue for the pr8, pls?
because there is no room for them and my huge head, Sally ;)
to stick out, dc
LOL NB
lol NB.
goodness that was fishy. ty, sally
Well my penultimate word was the wi 4/9. Such an ordinary word!!
help with the wi 6/33 please

thanks dc!
my special Babble skill is finding the longer forms of words and missing the base word
Fireworks at last. Any clues needed?
congrats, sally :)
ya sally!
i'm good for now, ty sally
Mine is not noticing the numbers or the plurals of letters.
Have been gardening all day so now going to have a long hot soak in the bath. See you all another day. *Gone*
njoy, sally, and g'night
Good afternoon to my fellow babblers! How is everybody?
hi, minver, well ty, and you?
By the way, congratulations to all of the finishers! Hooray
pretty good!
and you?
I'm well. I am down to my last word and saving it for later
hi Min - haven't seen you for a while
Hello JBV! How are you? I am usually on here late at night
i've been starting early in the a.m., then finish around now
Hi. What's a Moggie NB?
moggie is an alleycat/cat of unknown breed (i looked it up)
min, that's a very strange flower in your icon - is that a real color?
A cat, Minski! Frank (my new flatmate) has two rescues, and they're both just adorable.
lol Min I had to google it ...this Yankee girl had no clue either
ahha! thanks dcs. I didn't know that. You learn a new word or several every day.
what colours are they, NB?
oh dear, sorry ;) I didn't know it didn't translate across the pond!
You seem happy again NB. I'm glad things are working out for you.
One is ginger, Seain, unimaginatively named 'Ginge', and the other is a tabby called Drake. My boys!
Thank you, Minski :) I have my dear ex to thank for that. He's been such an almighty @#*&$^ about everything that he's made moving out really, really easy..
can I please have a hint for the k's - I have two ke 4
ko4.8
thanks, seain, looking...

Hi. I'm back again. Got distracted finding something to make for dinner. I defrosted 2 chicken breasts but haven't been shopping for a while so am out of most fresh ingredients.
finally found "Chicken Breasts with Honey Balsamic Glaze" on the Weight Watchers website. I actually have all of the ingredients. DH won't have to go to the grocery store on the way home from work.
is it raining there Minski?? I have had the chicken breast marinating all day but it is pouring and thunder and lightning in RI
wanted to do them on the grill
Not yet but by the looks of things it will be pretty soon. This is a nonstick skillet recipe so I'm all set.
haha, rain...we have forgotten what that's like here ;) it's soooo hot!
it was 85 here today NB but it has cooled off by 10 degrees now that this storm is blowing through very humid in rhode island
but I am not complaining after the cold and snowy winter we had
I checked out the radar on intellicast.com. You have a window of opportunity to grill but I'm not sure exactly when it iwll be. Depends on how fast the storm is moving.
we had some great snow this winter - probably nothing like what you had, but enough to bring England to a standstill nonetheless ;) I love summer thunderstorms though...hope we'll be getting some.
yeah it was 86 degrees but 96% humidity here
maybe I will do them in a nonstick skillet had a little liquid smoke and pretend I did them on the grill!!
do it. noone will know the difference.
I am scared to death of thuderstorms dad freaked us out about them when we young
he would run through the house unplugging almost every appliance if he could have got behind the stove and refrigerator he would have unplugged them too LOL
I love to watch them from inside a house or a car. It is great to watch one in the distance when you are driving on the highway.
I was driving from Dallas to Houston many years ago and lighting hit the median about 100 feet in front of us
they remind me of being back in Korea - there'd be awesome storms there in summer, and I used to stay up and watch them when I was a kid.
as we drove by there was this big puff of steam or smoke again....freaked me out
that must have been cool and scary at the same time
rats, did I miss dc?
hello all
hello all, weather has been the topic today every time I peeked into the grid! It is doing our afternoon shower now.
thunderstorm is on its way here
monkey are earning their bananas :)
I need some monkeys.
hello, Peri and Red :)
must be pretty much up and down the East coast
Ours is just a almost daily thing. I thnk its almost over.
I will send you mine when I am done with tme, red. if they are not too exhausted
it's ok peri, I have no bananas, I need banana disliking monkeys...
made baked flounder, roasted asparagus, brocoli and corn and a green salad for dinner. everyone liked it
There is a ribbon of weather passing through right now from about the Chesapeake Bay area to Northern Maine
Well, i wish I was near you perry!!!
It isn't huge but there's lots of reds and yellows.
errr, peri.
cheg
hate those red and yellows!!!!
mmmmmm Peri that sounds D lish I am on my way!!!
wish yiou were too, red.
sorry, Lady no more left. next time I will buy more fish and invite and babblers who are able to get here
so the "Big Guy" must be hungry he just yelled upstairs "it stopped raining and the sun is coming out" not like he offered to grill the chicken though
this must be the "window" you were talking about Minski
YUM! Peri! You can cook for us anytime.
Gotta go clean the kitchen and make dinner. Will be back later.
talk to you all later, assuming I don't get struck lightning!!! lol
wr 5/20 6/33?

thx
Fireworks x
Well done, Katie :)
re 7/32?
nuclear re*****
hm, thanks Dorens. Didn't think to add the ending onto that re5..
happy to help nancy. how are things going?
hello again, my cat is pooping in the living room again :( and still peeing outside the box sometimes. don't know what to do. I thought the homeopathic remedy was helping the UTI but now I am not so sure
sorry to hear that peri. have no advice on this one
has a vet seen this kitty?
yes crossy, he prescribe meds that me cat will not take. he suggested an injection that may or may not work
mmm
her appeite seems to be better tho
good luck peri.. running out now... bbl
is she eating a low ash ph formulae food?
she is a good girl but I am getting tired of always checking for poop and then having to clean it up before anyone else sees it. it si not my house
not at the moment crossy
but will buy some
it helps with avoiding crystals in the urine
i know
our old cat had a hell of a time with that so she asociated the litter box with pain and went to bathroom elsewhere
she was pooping in the box for a few days and I wqas so happy
ahe is 14 years old
ours was 12 at the time with the crystal/ph issues
colon cancer took her just this spring
at 15
oh, sorry to ignore you, Dorens - I popped off to clean my teeth. Things are going better than I could have hoped...thank you :)
ooh! mo 7/16,a joint type used in brick or block walls
oops, looks like I missed Dorens anyway. Glad to hear your kitty is eating well again Peri - hope the rest falls into place!
yes,i forgot to ask about your new place nb.are you settling in ok?
yes thank you, Crossy :) it's been great...all my friends, here and in London, have made it so easy for me!
i am glad:)
thank you ;) so am I, honestly! I was very scared of being completely homeless, for a while
Oh goodness. Last I saw of you, NB, you were hoping to work things out--you've moved? :(
Hi SamanthaJoy! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
I'm doing well, thank you for asking, and thanks in general.
I've just started this grid, though, and I don't think I will finish, not least because I have one index finger bound up after an Unfortunate Fire Starting Accident this weekend. Makes it hard to type
hello, Samantha :) weeell, some stuff happened since the original incident that I don't really want to talk about (it's not really chat log material!) - it ended up, moving out was the best.
Oh my. I think I've been in that relationship, and managed to move on--so at least you know it gets better.
How in heavens name does anyone finish one of these grids??
start at 4 am,wear a diaper and only eat food in paste form;0
Gamer, we cheat. Lickety's List is essential, as is More Words or another like dictionary.
LOL
Hello Gamer714!How are you doing?Welcome to the chog

Congratulations jillibus on your fireworks! Hooray for you
I was informed once, before I'd even bought an account, that what I do consists of "cheating" and that thr only "real" way to win is to flog the monkey (which sounds worse than it is)

Gods, NB, is that really you?

hello Minver
crossy...my friend and I used to put on my dad's pants. One of us in each leg.. and hop around!LOL. A pair of his underwear came up to my ears...
Here is a story of clues fr 4/7 Minveryork. Pr5/12 to starting this grid, I woke up early this morning to he 4/5 ea4/6 of the birds ch5/16ing. Also had a massive headac4/6 because of a hangover. I was still ti 4/4d and in a bad mood and I had a ch 4/6 on my shoulder. I ru 4/6 drinking so much last night. Guess that's the pr 5/14 I have to pay for drinking too much. My dog woke up early in his ca 4/7. He did not ca 4/5 that it was 5:00 A.M., he was up barking ea5/14 to get out. My doggy wanted me to get my butt in ge 4/6 and let him out. He barked so much that he was fr5/18ing at the mouth. He also to 4/4 up his blanket. His barking ir 5/20 me so much. I thought it was ru 4/6 of him to wake me up so early. I wanted to wh 4/10 him. I was not going to tr 4/8 outside in the rain to let him out. I couldn't endu4/6 his barking so I put him in another room&closed the door.Wish I could hi4/5 someone to tend to my dog at 5:00 A.M. On my way back to bed, I tr 4/5ed over a stupid doggy toy which pr 8/55 out from under the couch. I was an over re7/32 and I re 5/12 badly by cursing at the toy. Then I I re5/14 for the toy and threw it across the room. Thinking back on it, it was quite a ri 4/4. I woke up again later in a much ri 5/12 mood. When I went to let him out later, he was sleeping. When I opened his ca4/7,he pe6/36 right up. I took him out and pi5/16 the ball to him.He loves playing with a ball. Hope you found some mo4/5 words wi4/9 this story. By the way, only part of this story is tr4/5.Now I'm going to call my friend er 5/12
LOL M9!
what min? No er7/32 in your story? guess it's pg
oh shoot... I forgot to look at what time it was when I put in that last batch of cookies...
excellent min, that gave me several
My stories are usually PG. I never know how to make it R or X rated. Also, others probably don't want R or X rated storie. But I'll try to do one if it's requested.
including the pr8 which i was searching for when you posted
go by smell, M9. If you smell fire, you probably left it too long.
good idea NB! I'll do THAT!
like my daffodils? They look better when the pic is bigger.
funny that ;)
I finally made a profile.
ugh speaking of fire ... my son just burned his popcorn. I'm gonna have to get out of the house for awhile
min... I just meant you didn't use the word!LOL I'm certainly not requesting a rating of R or more. I don't even watch R rated movies!
You have beautiful daffodils m9f9l. Every year we sell daffodils at school to raise money for breasts cancer.
oh... yucky smell!
Me neither m9f9l
that's great Min. We had loads of daffodils that my niece and nephew u-picked for my mother's memorial service (a LOoooong time ago) and my daughter is planning on daffodils for her wedding decorations.
Phantom words for me today are comedy and imagry.
oh yeah, in hindsight, I'm a vegan, probably not the best for advice on how to bake cookies...;)

Now there is 119 players online,so hi to all the lurkers
mm,do not use all my hot water...
hello again all. kids are in bed so here I am.
howdy minski

Hello Minksi! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
hi again, Minski :)
no,it is not,but we do not know where the trail of the path of life may lead
Does anyone have the TR5/18 & TR6/33? Sorry to bring the grid back into the discussion. ;-)
61 left to find.
tr5/18 is to4/8 word w/an r and tr6/33 is past tense
Minski, I have a very long story of clues in my profile.
I don't, sorry ;) gave up on the grid a while ago!
Thanks min. I was looking tri not the other so I was having issues.

Hi Welki. I don't know if anyone's around but me.
It's been awhile since anyone has spoken.
hi hi :)
hey harry
Heya Harry
looks like a field of poppies :)
so horribly humid
poppies :) cackle cackle
'sup? I'm watching last comic standing and babbling. Exciting evening
is that the emerald city in the background?
heh - my gladioli are starting to bloom !
we have beautiful hydrangeas this year.
I left my hydrangeas at the old house :(
I inhereted these but this is the first year they have really bloomed in the almost 7 years we have lived here.
nice - I used to compost them heavily in the fall
17
When we first moved in I didn't know what those dead looking sticks were so I cut them down to the ground and threw them out. No flowers that year. I haven't touched them since. Every year I have gotten a few more. This year was a bumper crop. It hink because of the amount of rain we got in teh early spring.
i miss eastern flowers ... no hydrangeas here, no forsythia, peonies, rhododendrons ... it's just too dry (and cold)
no weeping willows of any stature ... and no pussy willows! how can children grow up without them?!
well we get no aurorae, so we're even
no wapiti either :)
Hello to all. Just started to look at the grid. Busy day with nonsensical filing of papers which are threatening to overwhelm our existence!
you jest ... and you, in connecticut! home of 'the gathering' in milford (probably not even there any more --- used to have a great lobster/king crab feast)
hi stig :)
there's a "gathering" in woodbridge...
no groundhogs here .. just these little things called richardson ground squirrels (that people call groundhogs ... they'd faint if they ever saw a real one!)
i try to avoid milford
haven't been there in over 30 years, harry ... guess it's changed
there was a krispy kreme there which closed :(
and lots of horrible malls
it was on the way to vermont. a bunch of us would rent a winter house and stop there on the way there (or home) for supper
hi, stid (i'm resisting paperwork)

Hi Pini
hey pini
Can someone tell me in the states what the heck Angel Food Cake is
it's a light yellow cake
By yellow cake do you mean like Vanilla?
its archnemesis is devils food cake
no it's kind of pound-cakey
or Sponge cakey
yes cadfan that's a better way to explain
Right LOL Leslie.
So it is like what the English call a Sponge Cake?
(LOL at nemesis)
hi Cad
Hello :)
no it is heavier than a sponge cake....mind you my sponges are like bricks
is most everyone done already?
not me, not even listing yet
no pini, not even halfway.
I just wanted to know. If it is sponge like I am not touching it. I am with you Melody.
Not hardly Pini ..
HI Stid
pr8?
It's not as spongy, but light and airy
I'm not certain what the English call a sponge cake.
There goes that idea then.
glad to hear I'm not the only one still chugging along
Angel Food cake is often served with fresh strawberries around here :)
pr8 - stick out
Sponge is light fluffy cake best made by the CWA
pr8 - stick out
thanks
thx cad!

Hello everyone, internet down for awhile, not enough time b4 beddie-bye to get FW, but I had to come see y'all!
hey jilly
Hi LA!
Hi, Jilly
hiya Jilly
glad you're back up and running
Hi Pini and Jellen
Yep, had just gotten on and *poof* there goes the internet
oooh, threw some cookies in the over...will have brain food in 18 minutes!!! :)
Hmmm ur about an 8 hour drive pini, but fresh cookies do sound yummy!
pe 5/20 ftw?
working on that one at the moment, too, LA
I don't think they'll fit through the comp screen, Jilly!
pe5 is a type of tea
I am about to make Lemon Butte, ANZAC biscuits and damper
I was going that way, but spelling it wrong; thx Jellen
not a big tea drinker...
don't know what all that is, herin...is it good?
Insert a vowel before the last letter of pe 4/9
LA...add a vowel near the end of the pe4/9
ah there it is! fireworks!
wtg LA!
WTG!! LA
Yay, LA!!!
21 more to go here!
Lemon Butter is lemon butter, ANZACS are oat biscuits and Damper is like heavy bread. We ran out of cash
;) ... sounds interesting
Apparently there is this thing called making bread when you don't have the cash to buy it. Did you know that? Totally fascinating. (HEAD DESK yes I did have this response from people at classes)
wi5/22...is sooooo me...lol
people don't believe it's possible to make your own? wow
Seems so
* giggle * Jilly... black or white?
I think between teh b.f and I we have $10 till sat
(guessing white)
* grin *
Well Pini, since I have celtic background...gotta be a white one!!
15 to go and pulling teeth!
Jilly White is better any way
yeah...Glenda the Good Wi5 is awesome...
I'd offer help but have just got on and have only 35 words...
not into "wicked"
hollar if you need something good, Jilly!
Finished earlier...here to help (and chat)...
Pini there is a theory in this house no money make it or recycle it.
oooh, thx Jellen...ch5/22?
I like that theory, herin!!!
lol...there's this secretary at work, well the CEO's secretary..Glenda she has this floaty stepford wife attitude, I always think of the good wi5 of the north
By make it I mean bake it. I don't own a sewing machine
ch + I'm ***ed at you (annoyed)!
Jilly is she evil at heart though?
got 'em!!! thx!!!
nothing can possibly go wrong with her, Jilly?
...always sees life through rose colored glasses?
Nope...just really into the organizational attitude...you know..."it is wonderful here"...
Ok That person does sound nice
drippingly perfect, eh?
brb - cookies are done!
well, actually herin, sorta finger-down-the throat
O
Is she also one of those irritating morning person too?
don't ever see her until lunch time...
wow the ar's certainly have a testosterone macho nature...lol
Is she still happy then?
yep
back...hot cookies all around!
yummy
yummy, I can smell them from here!!
Mmmm, cookies!
warm choc-ch4 cookies with milk...does it get any better? :)
Ya, I like this grid, have some words we don't see much
BUT, have an early morning here, personal best: 53 words in 20 minutes, night all, see you tomorrow in the grid!
G'night, Jilly
thanks for the cookies pini! *poof*

yvw!
this grid is a nightmare
that's for sure, herin!
ir5?
I'm really ir*** at you, Pini!
oy vey!
thx jellen!
Just kidding, btw...
* I know * ;-)
If the list doesn't help then I give in
it's helping me, herin!!!
I've been working on limiting my request for clues...it's been working!!!
Good
I'm down to 4 now and I think I've only asked for 2 in this grid so far!
(I sorta feel like I'm getting a little smarter...or my math skills have improved so much I can actually figure out the point value breakdowns) * shock * (for me)
I am too busy watching Wife Swap
I'm watching The Bachelorette...oy
Pini this is a crack up. Two extremes. One is a steriotypical Texas scrapyard hick
(sounds like me, herin)
(jk)
It was on last night but I missed it
which one is the most "grounded" herin? the "hick"?
It is funny because it is so steriotypical.
Neither Pini both families are too extreme to be grounded
ROFL...good point!
down to 2!
One woman is all her kids must do this this and this and the other is like what ever
1
that's pretty extreme alright, herin...
* sparklers *
Yay, Pini!!!
(yay pini) *repoof*
YAH Pini
wb stid!
bye again, stid!
My poor cat. One kitty just freaked the other out.
uh oh
the kiddos are not playing nice together?
Poor Pandora. She was sleeping and minding her own when teh other woke up and took fright.
whoops
Gosh knows were Lucius has run too
I do have a funny though Pini
What's the funny?
This morning Pandora got the wind up her tail and lept from cat pillow to cat pillow for about 5 min
Ahhh...the crazies...I had a cat who liked to bounce off the back of our couch...
yes
I couldn't even laugh as I was trying to work out her boggle. Then I gave up and laughed
that would've have been fun to watch!
Max, who is 10, still chases her tail...
We ahve a table that is covered with a blanket. On top of the blanket is two pillows one for each of them and she was bouncing back and forth
too funny
They are regular balls of insanity
rather like watching my dog, Koda...at 2.5 yrs old he still chases after his ball with a "deer spring" every now and then!
awwww Koda is a sweety
Most moments I'll keep him around...
brb...
301
