thx again, grem
sm6/30 and 7/44?
don't have those yet
:-(
thinking how to clue... hang on...
s + molten lava, change first vowel
s+girl's name from Little Women + opp of pa
oops sorry grem... you were faster
gee, I thought of that word but didn't think it would work! Thanks.
I kept seeing "earmark" in this one
your clue was great, dee!
I have never seen the sm words...
lucky you, dee!
oh yipes ... just saw def... ick
indeed!
new ones for me today were ma6 and sa7
I don't have the sa.. not sure about the ma...
haven't got either of them, grem -- although there are several ma6s
the ma6 I learned means "A swamp or bog formed by an accumulation of sphagnum moss, leaves, and decayed matter resembling peat"
the sa7 means "a figure skating jump with a takeoff from a back inside edge and landing on the back outside edge of the opposite foot after one or more rotations in the air"
oh, I know that one, grem! (figure skating fan)
thanks grem, finally got it
thx grem, will attempt to use those words soon
You Canadians...
I didn't know the "sphagnum" in that first definition, either.
I know sphagnum -- you're obviously not a gardener, grem!
I water plants - that's about it.
but I still don't have that ma6 :(
face covering + **gnog
ty grem, again
thanks. If it had been mu at the beginning I would have known it.
looks like large container into which you put beer
and I see it's just a var sp of the mu word.
just hit 200 words and I think I'll go to bed and rest my back.
ca7 is tricky: first six letters are where you'd look to see when a particular date of the year falls in the week
sleep well jili... was just thinking same thing
ty grem -- it's the Roman 15th of the month, I think.
bye jilli rest well
No -- the ides are the 15th -- the ca7 are the first.
and so goodnight all.....*poof*
nite jili
falling asleep here, so have to finish in A.M..... *poofing*
bye dee, sleep well

hi Andree, the green precious stone
thx lyn
and hi, how are
you
Very well, though a bit sick of winter gloominess already. How are you all? Business picked up at all?
very slow in this weather, steady though
Steady is good. Still on the market?
its with a broker, no luck though, i am quite comfortable working from home so its okay
just ties me down, a holiday would be nice!!!
morning all
morning Sprite
hey lyn :)
Sprite! Happy Birthday!!
thanks Sally :D
I always look at your icon otherwise wouldn't have known :-)
Happy Birthday Sprite! was just going to ask if you got breakfast in bed?
Happy cake day, Sprite :)
no I didn't, but I don't like breakfast in bed, so that is cool. My love has to leave for work very early. He left me such a sweet birthday card. He is the best.
Thanks :)
Happy Birthday spritey sprite, hugs! (refresh for yr icon)!
aw thanks Fm :)
morning FM
Can't stop right now but will be back with cake and bubbly in a little while. *Waves Hi and bye to all*
lovely, bye for now FM
K Killed... it is a kind of gift, a grid with 300+ words and a K, and only 3 are actually Ks.
rubyfoo will be happy at two of the ch words
true
oh a 9!
Only have an 8 so far :-(
good for you, I don't have any 8s yet. Happened upon a 9 by elongating words.
Mine is a plural
mine is a re-
morning Sally
hi lynxxx
Have a 9 now :-) ty for the tip sprite, made me find a whole load of words I hadn't got to yet.
yay :)
With a huge grid, I do try to be a bit disciplined, but then I see a whole batch of words in another place, and have to rush to put them in before I forget :-)
Good morning/evening all. Looks like we've got ourselves a grid!
I leave the re words to the last, unless I happen on them
Hi Haz
I play totally undisciplined until the very end. Love the random typing part where words pop up faster than I can type!
hi Haz
morning Haz
Hello! I love the rush of words at the beginning.
as do I - only problem is that half of them 'go missing' as I don't check to see that they have actually entered - I am a lousy typiste
(can't spell either)
That seems to happen to me as well - you're sure you've thought of the word, you remember typing it in, but it isn't there in the word list.
that makes it hard later on, I guess, lyn - when you remember finding a word that did not register
If I see there are only a few words from a particular square, I do like to get it greyed in. So now I have the right column greyed :-))
Happens to me as well Haz and lynxxx
to me too. And gratz Sally!
So, you're not alone, lynxxx. It may not be your lousy typing after all.
Oh, really really big achievement if you look at the numbers!!
grey is grey
I hope Dr_G won't change that.
we'll see
over halfway without slowing down. So far a smoothie
*flop*
*makes room for Ata* Hi dear!
Ata!
and happy birthday spritey!!!
Hello, Ata! Have a play with words. There are lots of them.
Hi Ata. brb
thank you Ata :)
Oh, happy birthday, sprite!
thanks Haz :)
been out for a 2 1/2 hour walk with the pup. exhausted already!
{{{Sprite}}}} A very happy birthday. I wish you all you wish yourself.
thank you Soodle, and hi :)
Good morning. Soodle.
but great news, Ata. Your leg must be a lot better already!
Have you any treats lined up for today? (A 309 grid is a good start)
well I don't think I'm going to be walking anywhere for the rest of the day ... that was *really* pushing it
Hello Haz, Ata, Sally, Lynn, and everybody else.
I hope you aren't overdoing it too much, but am very happy you are this mobile again.
not toooo much :P
lol
m
Sorry. That was just me musing.....
I thought you were maybe starting up a wee chant.
Or else trying to get the right pitch for a hearty rendition of 'Happy Birthday'
hi Soodle
Me chanting would be 'ommmmmmmmmmmmm' - and, I am sorry Sprite, but tis a bit early for a hearty rendition of anything. Nope Haz - just the wrong box!!
Yay! Got a second 9!
Happy Birthday Sprite!!!!!!!
Just entered a competition to win tickets to see Creation (Charles Darwin movie). Interesting to read that no distributor has picked it up in US as only 34% believe in evolution
And you got permission to share it?
my neighbour baby boy is 'talking' beneath my window. He is 7 months old and does the whole 'whaawhaa oo ooo eeeeeee' in all tones. It is as sweet as happy birthday.
hi red, thank you!
34% .. wow .......
en 9/66 Haz
morning Red
oh Soodle, I like the ommm chanting thing, so go right ahead once you are awake enough ;)
I have a special icon for you! the monkeys spent all night making the cake! hello everyone else.
Oh! The gave permission again was me wondering if you'd got re9/72.
Perhaps only 34% of the US population has evolved .... Sorry, only teasing :-)
aw thank you red! It is great!
Good morning, red.
what a clever icon Red
oh sorry Haz, no I already had that one.
*hunts for the en*
Morning all. I feel rather un evolved, as it is 4:30 in the morning....
ouch red, that is still night in my book. Late shift or sleepless or both?
Put on your reading glasses, sprite, and you'll be on the way to finding it.
Or eat lots and lots of chocolate :-)
up for running, I have to eat something first, but its the best time as it's still coolish, 22 degrees C. it feels great!
brilliant clues, thanks
Or look in one of those funny mirrors in the fairground.
Mind you, I reckon some of the mirrors in ladies changing rooms have the same effect.
all of them, in my case
hello again, Happy Birthday, again, Sprite!! May this be a great and healthy year for you!
We have one mirror at the gym that makes everyone look instantly 10 pounds slimmer, I love it!
Good morning, ruby.
Also have you noticed how clothes shrink in the wardrobe?
hi rubyfoo, thank you :)
Ah, ruby, there are two special words in the grid for you today :-)
hi Ruby
I want that mirror.
It's full length and everything!
I'll swap you my wardrobe for that mirror
They should get some for dress shops - sales of clothes would soar.
It's just in the gym, unfortunately the effects are not long lasting!
uh oh, I'm afraid to look for the words.... Is one of them whine?
sure would
no, but close to your heart ruby
lol rubyfoo. No, they are very nice words. You love them.
I have visions of people dragging that mirror around with them 'Look, I really am thinner than you think. Look in here!'
thats wonderful Haz!
I think they already have, Haz. I buy stuff, they look ok in the shop window, then when I get them home, they sorta look different... :(
When I worked for a company that sold mirrors, my friend and I wanted to donate them to all the women who didn't look at themselves full-longth (and especially from the back|) before they went out of the house. A BIG problem in Miami
Shop mirror, that is..
and closet shrinkage, big problem!
hello soodle and hax and sally
haz* that is
Re4/4 view mirrors are desperate, such a shock to the system.
Hi {{{Rubes}}}, and all recent arrivals.
Seeing the back of yourself is a bit like hearing a recording of your own voice. You just don't want to believe that its actra
hic actually YOU.
it is cool this AM so made stuffed chicken and sweet potatoes for din, weeded the garden (a little, lol), watered the tomatoes and made one pot of currant jelly. Now I can watch the Tour in peace
we once gave people who did a workshop with us a parting gift of a small mirror, telling them it was a picture of their own personal guru.
lol sprite
one guy said to his wife: "Hey, show me yours... wow, you got the same as I!"
I am at work, so I better go and do a bit. Have a great birthday Sprite, and I will probably see you all later. Poof
funny soodle on the own voic ething, it is so strange...
thank you, Soodle, have a good day at work!
bye soodle, see you later
Found your special words yet, ruby?
My sister and I have exactly the same voice, so when I talk to her I know what I really sound like.
got the dog one....
that is funny, Haz. It is always so weird to hear your own voice.
ruby: the dog oneS I hope?
Apparently I sound just like my cousin, to the extent that when we were younger and in the back seat of the car her mother didn't know which of us was speaking.
When we were younger and living at home, people always had to ask which of us was answering the phone - including parents.
that is amazingly close, if even parents can't make out the difference
It's about the only thing about us that is the same - oh and height.
Sally that is such a peaceful icon
thanks sprite. They really are deep in conversation, aren't they?
definitely
1/3 way through, any hints for the 8's or 9's? even first letters would help me find a direction
I suppose I should stop staring at te grid and actually enter some words
en 8/50, 9/66, 8/50 might be a good place to start.
I have re9, en9
And I have ge 9/78
and 2x en8 that go with the 9
I put the monkeys to work!
woot Sally!
ruby, for the 8s think of photographic equipment, or what might happen to you if you ate too much
That's for the en 8s
ty now I can find them!
wow, and that gave me the l's, too
ty ty
thanks for the ge9
And for the ge 9, start with the ge 4/7 that is a word for a virus, a bug, then built on it to get a 6,9,7,5
Just back from a phone call from my younger daughter who is sunning herself (with lotion!) in Portugal.
ooo lucky her!
I know!
And the older one got engaged on Monday, so she's got her happiness to keep her warm.
gratz Haz
did she know her sister's good news?
Thank you, sprite.
how lovely! congrats - nearly one off your hands permanently!
Yes, L phoned her - the younger one is already planning bridesmaids dresses.
Congrats on daughter, Haz.
I bet!!! I hope she'll outdo Jordan ...
hi lynxxx, I didn't see you!
We're really delighted, the young man is very steady and hard-working but with a wicked sense of humour. He's just right for her.
is he a local?
sounds very very good
He came and asked permission to propose - we threw ourselves at his feet in gratitude.
lol
lol Haz!!
He's local, lynxxx, in fact, brother of her best school friend so we know the family well.
:D
that's lovely and old-fashioned, so nice compared to all the young people who just live together, even having babies that way
maybe that's just Francew
this has been a long relationship' then? or have they suddenly just clicked?
They were just friendly for a long time and then they started to look at each other with new eyes a couple of years ago.
And the wonderful thing is that he's a whizz with computers.
We have our own IT support system.
you can swap cake for computer support!
Did you have any inkling he was going to propose?
that seals the deal. Be sure to tell your daughter that even if she will ever feel she has to divorce him,you won't.
Yes. Apparently he refers to us as 'The House of Plenty' (in food terms)
lol
I bet he does!
We knew that they wanted to get married, but we weren't quite sure what the timescale was going to be. He made sure she was out on Monday, came trotting in to my husband and blurted out 'I have to talk to you about something'.
Oh, did your hearts sink for a moment?
I was in the other room so only heard a murmur of voices.
Oh, really old-fashioned then!
Husband's first horrified thought was that he was going to dump her. Then he wondered if he had financial trouble - that could be fixed. Monumental relief to hear that he wanted permission to proose.
*propose.
*pretends to be cynical but secretly loves the romance*
How old is your daughter, Haz?
She's 26, the younger one is 23.
How sweet.
So, I'm hoping that they take a little while to just enjoy the thrill of the engagement before they start getting started on wedding arrangements. No date set, but possibly/probably next summer.
have to be off, things to organise for daughter's last day at elementary school. Thanks all, and have a lovely day/night.
Bye sprite - have a lovely day!
bye Sprite
Enjoy the rest of your special day, sprite.
she needs a classy glass pumpkin coach
Absolutely.
and flowers in the shape of baileys bottles
I thought heart-shaped with cupid's arrows through them.
as long as they are pink with many sparkles
With suggestions like that, I am sure she will do the opposite and have a classically elegant wedding!
Pink. sparkles and doves to be released at opportune moments.
I think a light-up tiara might be nice.
One that played 'Here comes the bride' as she was going up the aisle.
ooooo yes. you need to watch that communion programme again for ideas
Somebody's bound to have thought of it. And we'll need to get started on the tanning programme, there's a lot of colour to be achieved.
And don't forget you have to outdo the bride Haz.
I've already been on websites for mother of the bride outfits but they're so understated, I doubt if they'll be appropriate.
I doubt it
I think the words you are looking for are short, skin-tight and shiny.
Shiny. Very shiny.
leopardskin maybe
Shiny leopardskin?
Can they incorporate fairylights into clothes?
fake pink loepardskin
absolutely
Ah! With spangles sown on, that would be good - and don't forget Spangle must have a matching outfit.
candle
If they can't have fairylights incorporated, maybe get luminous material?
oooh sorry
oh yes, I hope Spangle will have an official role
We'll get Spangle dyed to match the bridesmaids.
(Just nipped back on T-break...)
Don't be - I didn't have that one.
Spangle could be a bridesmaid.
We're thinking ring-bearer.
hello babblers :)
she could carry a little basket in her mouth with the rings in
Hello, Liz - your island is in the grid!
hi Liz!
LIZZZ!
so it is Haz :))
So how would you like Spangle died lilac and sparkly to match the bridesmaids, Haz?
who's getting married?
Spangle would look gorgeous!
Haz's daughter
My older daughter, Liz. We're arranging the details now. Jordan needn't think that she's the only one can arrange weddings.
Ooo congratulations Haz :)
I could lend you Toyah for entertainment if you like LOL
*snerk*
Thank you! We're delighted.
Going to take a quick break - back later.
Bye Haz :)
bye Haz. I'm off for a while too
bye lynxxx
morning all
hello kallia
beb I need to reinstall chrome. it's being weeeird
I want gremlin to be there
hello all
hello m9
yay, that's better
what is chrome ata?
it's google's browser - it's a lovely thing, very quick
ah yes I have heard of it
Must be off. Be back later to finish.
bye sally
I am so bored of the news today. You'd think nothing was happening in the world apart from police trying to find this guy in Northumberland
thing is there is nothing new to report, so they keep on repeating the same old stuff....gotta fill the time
soooooooo boring!
yep
NBT! exactly!
NBT exactly? how can you have NBT unexactly??!
LOL.. I actually got ONE on each tile.LOL
you play differently to me then M9
I usually have 2 on some of them
Ata - I just downloaded Google Chrome too. Not sure I like it yet
chrome is *fab*. it's certainly quicker than most others. you'll get used to it quickly!
I've been using Firefox for about a year now but its so slow...
chrome kicks the backside of firefox, speed wise. ffox does have more functionality, but chrome is quicker and doesn't crash so much!
Right I'm going downstairs in the hope that I will find the ironing fairies have been whilst I've been babbling
looool good luck!!
they are here at the moment Liz...so no luck :)
LOL see you all later :)
bye for now
oh gosh, now they are playing his answer phone message and analysing it!!
the man is mad quite obvious,,,analysis not required
just giving him all this publicity , what he's looking for
yep!
off to supermarket now....almost 2/3 done
well done!
heloo everybody. lunch is over and "les guerres" continue
hi all
sneaking in for a minute in Lugulu Kenya
hello jmc!
I'll bet it's cooler there than here
who's crazy? *looks for ruru, torg and crossy*
very cool over 100 in DC --- low 80s here
Always an eye out for the men, eh ;)
no ata said some man was crazy
no ata said some man was crazy
i will probably just disappear
Isn't it Sprite's birthday today? I'm hoping she'll dart in so we can wish her a good one!
happy birthday sprite *waves and fades back into the jungle* (well rain forest anyway)
bye for now, siesta time in dixie!
Jambo jmc! wish I could be in Kenya too
hi jmc ---- nice picture!
hello all. Does anyone have a clue for the sa7/45 for me please?
Hi Con - I don't see a sa 7/45. I have an SA 7/52. Its 'When Harry met ***ly@ plus a breed of dog ch 4/10
How can a 7 letter word be worth 45?
hi soodle, my mistake. tis indeed 52 and thank you!
Your very welcome!
good morning babblers :)
Got it - thanks for clue!
Depends on how many high scoring letters are in the word, Dofith
Hiya NoNO
any clues wanted before I tootle off and celebrate hubbies birthday?
Gosh! Its Sprites birthday today as well. Big celebrations in Holland....
yeah! we all celebrate together - it's more efficient! ;)
thanks for the offer Con but I just started so the words are coming easy right now
And then, of course, theres the small matter of the world cup.......
ah,yes, the football... Well, I'll be off then. happy hunting all, and till next time.
bye Con have a good day
Bye, Con and enjoy the festivities....
:) thanks! .... *poof*
Been on the phone - back now - in reference to an earlier point, the score for a 7 letter word would have to be a multiple of 4, would it not?

bon appetit!
hi babblers!
hi JBV
hi JBV
hope you're all staying cool - we're at the end of a heat wave here, it was 105 two days ago, 99 yesterday!
toasty everywhere!
too hot JBV! hope it cools down soon for you
we have been in the upper 90's for the last 4 days also JBV. I have central air so have been comfortable but dread seeing the electric bill when it comes
thanks, lynxxx, big worry is power outage, yesterday we had a mini-one, only two hours, but we've lived through bigger ones and I can't forget how bad it was
me too, NoNo, but I guess it's worth it - how did we ever do it when all we had was fans?
had to replace the compressor in my car (GROAN) but now have AC there as well :-(
transporting a rescue dog today and I know he'll be glad I got that fixed!
we don't have air-cons and are OK for a couple of days of that heat, but the 3rd day the house is pretty unbearable - so I sympathise
I think most people don't even try to reduce demand on days like this, that would help
oh, too bad about the car, Une!
indeed, JBV
I willingly give up doing laundry, for exampel :)
(not babble, tho)
:-D
not sure JBV, but as I live in a mobile home now the central air is a must in the summer time. These metal clad boxes are like ovens!
You don't have as much laundry as you wear nothing (much) in that heat!
babble naked.
hey, bonkler!
hi Bonkler!
top floor, hundred year old building, no a/c. sticky. the whole world is sticky.
hi Bonkler
hiya!
yikes, miserable!
HIGH
when we depended on fans I use to keep on on the shady side of the house on, drawing air in and in another window would have one drawing out so it would create a draft thru the room
hi Herin
mornin babblers!
morning Eva
hi Infernal & Eva
hi Eva
how are we today?
and Hi Herin
hello everybody
hi Jacq
hello Jacq
heya nanette
how's the grid today?
heya lynxxx
not too bad jacq
First couple of 100 are OK, can't find the rest so don't know
Hi.
Good evening, everyone. Sorry you guys in the north are having such a hard time in the heat while we are so chilly. Here, in Western Australia, it's not as cold today due to cloud cover - and finally, it has rained! We are meant to have wet winters here, and we've had little, but it has come at last!
Lynxx have you heard of the Waiters Resturant
heya lady
Yes
regranted
ohh so sorry
shame shame jacq!
i forgot to move the cursor
You had storm/flooding warnings today didn't you Dofith?
I hope that is something Dr God is changing on the new babble
Yep - the worst is coming tonight, apparently. They haven't quite finished repairing our damage from the lastone yet. We are secure and rain-safe, though.
Dof take care
does anyone know of a location where I could read about the proposed babble changes? thanks
Hope it just dumps rain in your dams then. Good luck
ache
oops
i think there is something on facebook in the babblers group if you have an account there
thanks, I'll check
http://twitter.com/babbleoverlord
i have facebook, what's the babble one?
I'm not sure just what it is Jacq, i don't do facebook myself
Lynxx have you heard of the Waiters Resturant in the cityy
Yes Infernal
Been there?
Thanks, herin - we sure need the rain. How are the dams there?
no idea
I haven't but daughter has and loves it - so has husband
And thanks, lynx - where are you?
Melbourne, as well as herin?
Went there tonight waited an hour to get in.
Yes DOf
Our dams are at 34%, best rains still to come. These levels are our best for 3 years
Obviously popular then Infernal. Did you enjoy it?
yep
That's good. We should get run-off from these rains, too.
I got spoiled rotten and no it wasn't my partner either
Goodnight all
nite nite lynxxx
Slides into Lynxxx's vacant seat. Good morning, all!
good morning Judi
Awesome cupcake display, Nono.
thank you Judi I hope sprite comes in to enjoy them
i see you've taken to frying your eggs on the sidewalk. It certainly is hot enough
It sure is. We're supposed to get some thunder storms today. Maybe the rain will cool things off a bit.
tomorrow is supposed to drop back off into the 80's here
will be a welcome relief if its not muggy
Good morning
good morning Mr Bob
DANG! Another humungous grid! And today is actually a day OFF from work, doctor, and therapists appointments; so I don't want to sit here all day plugging away at words. :-(
Hey, Bob.
Hi Nef, the first couple hundred come easy
IF you have the time you mean?
Just type really fast, Nef!
LOL! Okay, being the fool I am; I will! (I *think* I can get NBT in the first 10-15 minutes from just looking at it now)
I read somewhere that dr4/7 (bottom of the barrell) is only correct in plural form. I doth protest!
oh easily Nef. I had nbt in the first 50 words
Hello
NBT in 27 words and 13 minutes! WOOT! This May be fun!
Hi herin. How are you?
Kind of happy
good! (only "kind of" though?)
I had alcohol and dinner out.
Sounds good
it was
:-)
good morning everyone;)
hi crossy
Hi crossie
hi, everyone
Hi, all :)
howdy guernsey,nb et al
hi guernsey and NB
We've been painting this afternoon, so needed a break from it! how is everyone?
fine thanks, NB. what have you been painting?
doing okay, NB; Want to paint my living room when you're done there?
No great artworks, Guernsey ;) just having a nice afternoon with my flatmate. We put some records on, but vinyl really confuses me...just don't understand how it works!
Hi NB
i'm painting a picture of cotinus leaves in hot reds, yellows and pink.
and Guernsy
Guernys they your silly kitties?
not sure you need to understand vinyl to make it work. hi herin
they are. violet is on top of barnabas.
They re to cute
Ok NB quick run down on Viyunal
I just can't get over it, Guernsey ;) that sounds really pretty! nothing that elegant going on here - just working on reproducing some paintings to go on our walls. Looking good so far!
Treat it gently. You see the Grooves on the Record?
sadly, barnabas died last year but violet continues to be cute on her own.
Hello all, How are we doing today?
hi red
HI red. :( Guernsy
hi red
NB you know the grooves on the record?
oh yeah, I'm almost too scared to touch 'em ;) Frank is sorting them out...
Hi Nef!
Ok. The grooves are the track numbers.
and guernsey and NB and herin and and and
LOL, red! You sound excited
So the first track is on the outside edge. You gently put the stylus on the record. They should be stored upright in a dry cool place
good explanation of how to play an old fashioned record going on here
lol! good morning, Red :)
hello agian babblers
i know im getting old when i see someone getting a lesson on how to use records;) should i loan nb my 16 track reel to reel player?;))))
Will do my best to live up to my chat.
Hi Nono
Hmmm...we store ours in a big box which we balance a lamp on ;)
NANCy
NB how neat to have a collection of old records and something to play them on. They are definitely a thing of the past
Nono I have my parents and some of my own and we just bought 2 for a friend for his birthday
My Dad still uses his....but he has graduated as well to a CD player
crossy, lend him your 8 track THAT is becoming even more lost technology than a reel to reel
they are so awesome, Nono! It's mainly my flatmate, if I'm honest - he has a huuuge vinyl collection. They're so retro!
there are still quite alot for sale in our local charity yhops, so presumably some people are still bbuying them
gigle Retro what am I dinosaur?
yes, the 8 track, is sort of lost1
I used to have an extensive collection but most were lost in a flood many years ago and at that point 8 track tapes were starting to take over.... now its mp3's!
not yet, herin
crossy plugs in his lava lamp,put on a big collar short and pops in a 8-track of csny and grooves to the tuneage....
my keyboard keeps going mad and sending me back in the text. it's driving me mads
I think I want a lava lamp..
sorry what I can't hear you the hearing aide isn't working great
eh?
half past two
LOL Crossy! Well we have lava lamps here at least...
BTW, the volcano (and pl) are here today
heheee I had a lava lamp and a disco light!
thanks Nef, that was awesome!
ever splice an audio tape nb? if you say yes,ill loan you my reel to reel
both of my kids bought lava lamps within the past 10 years
I have Crossie but that was only because the tape broke
splice? tape? it's barely the same language, Crossy ;)
lol
haven't seen it for a while; that's why I mentioned it red
that was how you did proper loops not on a mac pro
then again, I'm not so good with super-modern technology, either. I mean, someone asked me if we had cable. What? I have A cable...
NB did you grow up under a technological free rock?
i can remember cutting and pasting with scissors and a bottle of Gloy
NB I personally think its cute that you are IT unfriendly
we had this little crimping/tape unit
awww, well thank you Herin. I try my best ;)
i think it is adorable that a record is becoming a mystery to some
It is nice to see someoen that isn't all it
first time my son got ahold of my old player,he tried to play a cd on it;))
woops, got to go - appointment at four, bbl
well if we're going to play this game, I think it's adorable that you can turn the speed up on these things. It's so much fun! I don't see how anyone ever left their houses whilst these were still used.
*runs into chog and snuggles NB*
Hi EVa
hi herin :)
Hi, Eva! We're spinning records today ;)
lol, Crossy! Even I'm not -that- bad
the 78 nb,is for a specific type of record,same size as a 33 but very brakable and usually only 1 song per side
hi EvaN
you spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record baby, right round, round, round...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qczA3hJ L7EQ
This flat looks like we live in the past. Floor is covered with paints, sheets and canvases, record player going...all we need are some bohemians ;)
hello, i just found an old 16.....
Eva I ahve that on Cd some where
My collection is my parents. Barbara Neil etc
not yet nb,you need a bean bag or papa san chair
as my fiance hates it when i say this (because i say it to SO many songs), "i did a dance routine to that"
hi Jane
I miss the old album covers, but I DON"T miss having to haul a bunch of records around every time I move!
Now I don't even have CD jewel boxes, just a bunch of pixels on an ipod!
indeed harpjane,the group "yes" had amazing covers
clue for the sa 7/52 please
LOL Eva! Pretty sure someone put that one on at my housewarming...modern music is fine, but it's the ones like that that get people dancing!
beginning of a girls name + a breed of dog ron
Roger Dean is an amazing artist
the band that will be playing at our wedding does mostly 80s and 90s covers. it will be a night of dancing!
we have 3 milk crates of old vinyl that we just can't bear to part with. And we have a turntable so we could cut them into CDs if we wanted to (I bought the equipment to do that several years ago) We just haven't done it yet
Hi HArp and Ata
ohhh I would love that, Eva! sounds like a LOT of fun!
Harp i haul enough crap about with books
I left most of my vinyls at home when I moved. There's a limit to how much one boy can carry ;)
Well Yes, and I doubt if I will EVER use a kindle
im down to 2 milk crates(wife made me give away the rest) and about 300 books
:(
i cant wait. just 3.5 months to go!
that approach only works when you have parents who don't move, nancy!
Till what Eva? Marriage?
i got a new e-reader now harpjane and they are AMAZING
Ta nono,got it
I'm so excited for you!
Hi Ran
opps Ron
hi y`all
howdy ron
lol Harp, I can't imagine my parents ever moving, but they threw out all my stuff anyway. Including my guitars, damn it!
yes, herin -- the wedding is in 3.5 months. :)
now, if ONLY i could find some daggone shoes!
NB that is wrong. i can under stand the you are dead to us but it is your things. I would have put them in storage
hi ron
Eva tried Amazon for ideas?
my mom hasn't moved but she has redecorated several times, and also married guys who had their own piles of stuff....so we had to move our stuff out eventually!
my sister is still mad because i gave away skipper and scooter!
my dear husband is trying to traumatise me with emotional blackmail today. One day he'll learn I'm totally impervious to that ...
I hope they at least sold the guitars, Herin. I'd like to think that now some other kid can use my beloved Les Paul, you can't just throw 'em on a landfill!
i have looked everywhere. i am hoping to find something like what i want in the stores once summer is winding down...
Target?
LES fking Paul? they ditched that?
I expect you're getting lost in an avalanche of sandals at the moment, Eva :( not what you want for an autumn wedding!
they better have sold it on, Herin!! It was my baby. Very old friend gave it to me, broke my heart that I couldn't take it with me!
the date is on October right, Eva? And I think I remember you saying you wanted orange? Perhaps when halloween fashions come out you can find something
*yes that was the sound of Herin falling of the couch*
O what date Eva?
what sort of shoes?
exactly, NB! i am supposed to have my shoes for my dress fitting, which i think will be late august or early september. i am crossing my fingers that i find something in time!
don't they still dye satin shoes to match anything these days?
I got white satin shoes and dyed them myself
What sort of colour Shoes eva? flats heals what?
yes, i think we discussed that yesterday, nef. that is on my radar as a backup plan, but every pair of dyed shoes i have ever had has bled, and im not really looking for that.
http://tinyurl.com/2b83pdu ???
herin: heels, peep toe or round toe, orange, satin or suede finish
i am very picky, so im a tough cookie ;)
mine didn't, eva. so it is possible!
Look down at tiny
If I were a lady, nothing in this world could prompt me to wear heels, or anything less comfortable than Converse, on my special day. Hidden under a dress and I'd at least fall over a little less.
OR : http://tinyurl.com/2c4kjhz
.. sure then you could shoot some hoops on the way to the party
not my style, herin
um
You mean kind of rockabilly?
these are quite gorgeous, though they are sold out! http://tinyurl.com/35zjof8
I spent more on my shoes than I did on my wedding dress
c
lol Ruru. Well, I highly doubt I'll ever find myself in a wedding dress. I think if that happened my parents would more than disown me; they'd keel over..
I can't believe how disrespectful they are of your possessions.. they should have warned you
but Nancy, Heels make your butt look good....
and your legs too, red
NB is behind the times on that one red
Eva: http://tinyurl.com/29ke3zq
Well, it happened in kind of a rush, Ruru. Nobody was really thinking of that; I packed everything up before I came out, grabbed my stuff and walked out before I got kicked out!
Nothing can make my legs look good Nef!!!
Lol Red! Well I've had no complaints so far...
I left when I was sixteen NB and haven't spoken to them since.
Ooh! I love those, herin!
EVA: this is one of my fav sites (ps kind of adult site) http://www.pierresilber.com/
i quite like these, but alas, they are sold out of my size: http://tinyurl.com/35phkyl
Eva, can you not order them on a back orders? surely they will have more before october?
red, i dont know that you can from that website...
Never, Ruru?
get the style name and number and google it
never
That must have been hard at 16 :/ I'm struggling enough at my age. It's the saddest decision to make.
tried it. it seems they are the last ones on earth...heh
NB, it's self preservation. A person has to do what they can in order to live
I am not recommending it.. however..if there is no other option.. you do have to live your life...
your parents just sound dumb to me.. mine were toxic and crazy.
(which accounts for my loony behaviour)
Eva: http://tinyurl.com/2cwsxf3
I guess the two of you are right. Though in some ways, kicking me out was the best thing my parents ever did for me. Like ripping off a plaster; I knew it was coming, it finally happened, at least I can breathe now!
i saw those, dont like that black on them. :/
Did you see Peirsibler site?
(taking eva shopping would be a nightmare to me)
I totally agree with ruru that you have to do what you can to live. And now we know why ruru is loony! ;-)
indeed our little eve sounds like a clothes horse;0
I hate shopping!
hi all. my mom is toxic also... but we still have contact. it takes its toll everytime i see her
ruru -- i am a tough gal to shop with. i usually have a rather specific idea of what i want, then its more of a hunt to find it, as opposed to just shopping.
my mother threw a lamp at me on my way out
sounds great to me, Ruru. I ain't afraid of a challenge ;) at least not where shopping is concerned..
ruru is that a picture of you???
You got a lamp, I got a punch. What's wrong with people, anyway? :/
no.. but I looked something like that dorens
see, if that was your mom taking the pic, and you were aiming a gun at her, it might explain a couple of things
ROFL
i had a davy crockett racoon tail tied to the handle of my tricycle
Dorens, there is toxic and then deadly toxic. If you can still visit her; that's good. I had to wait til I grew up enough to be able to be my own person before I could go back
EVa dd you get the tiny for Peirresibbler?
well, if anyone has an extra $780 i could have, these would be gorgeous for my "something blue" http://tinyurl.com/2vqo83u
If'd I'd have had a gun at that time.. Manson would have looked like a piker.. glad I am non-violent however
yes, herin, but im at work. ;)
it is tough nef... my sister and i have long long conversations everytime we need to see her... planning before hand, then detox after
sounds like every time I see my husband, doren :P
Ok Well mark it down for later
!!!!! a 800 dollar pair of shoes??!!!! good god...
that's what divorce is for, ata!
I'm working on it!
atta girl!
800 dollar pair of shoes=divorce lol
oh jeez crossie get with it.. women's shoes are really $$
does crossy need resuscitation?
he's pulling a huge emotional blackmail thing today. joy of joys!
now why would he think that would work? does he not know you???
well, people like that just want to drag you down into their own sorry little worlds. on that grim note though, I'm off - gotta head off to work. later, nice chatting with you all :)
enjoy your evening, nb
(((huggles NB)))
Eva: http://www.thelovelybride.com/
bye NB. Take care!
it was his aunt's funeral today. I hate funerals, to the point of being utterly phobic about them, and any I go to causes a lot of emotional damage afterwards. I've met his aunt once. He's been going on and on about how I should have been there, how he would have *loved* me to be tehre etc. Gah! I've told him so many times I do NOT go to funerals!
Loves NB
well, you do NOT go to funerals, and you are trying to disassociate from him. case closed!
oh dear, herin -- are those orthopedics?
absolutely! tonight will be interesting though!!
why? why do you even listen to him?
Nope just the trailer trash :D Just had to tease you
:D
I don't really, I try to let it all wash over me. Usually works, just sometimes it doesn't!
Hugs Ata
i try not to force my mrs into doing anything that makes her uncomfortable..well except when i blindfolded her and we went in that hot air balloon...got to 200 feet and the pilot had to use his flame,so i took the blindfold off at that point;)
ah, that is tough... what is your timeline visa vis separation?
lol crossy
it does depend somewhat on if and when I can get a visa for coming over to the US to escape for a whiel!
and how is that going? i can't imagine why the US would not want you
Ata just pack up your stuff and take half and the pets
I'm sure they would want me, but trying to find a visa category that agrees is more interestiung!
i live alone in a lovely four bedroom house... you're welcome to the downstairs bedroom. less than an hour from nyc but beautiful lakes and hills here
120 words in 1 hour and 10 minutes and DH is chomping at the bit to get going. Off to the races I guess! BBL; good luck all!~ Happy Babbling!
pets can be extremely difficult to move from country to country and i believe we put them in quarrantine for 30-45 days
awwww :)
it's fine bringing pets from the UK - no rabies here
you cna live on our fold-out couch. :)
Ata doesn't the Visa have a husband is a PITA catagory?
or starving artist?
good one herin!
no! the main visas are "you must have a job organised" or "you must marry an American" or "you must have a family here". None of which apply!
babble is totally family!
Um. Can a babbler adopt you?
I'll give you a job as my live in housekeeper
lol,dorens i can hire ata on here
I'm trying to persuade a local uni to get me a research visa, but trying to get them to do it with any urgency is rather frustrating!
ah, but you're not one of the babblers who is constantly leaving the grid to do laundry, dust, or bake pies, are you?
do you mind snow and jan-feb temps of minus 20 ata?
YES! lolol
yes to what? minding minus 20 or baking pies and doing laundry?
lol
WOW did you know that babies are born squeeky clean (the things I learn on ER)
minding minus 20 lol
dunno bout that herin my kid was kinda slimy and looked a lot like yoda from star wars lol
not the babies I've seen
I gigled
that's probably because you look a bit like yoda too crossie..lol
lol
yikes! i found a 9 all by myself
go doren!
first 2 letters please dorens
ge
I have a re 9 so far
i am exceedingly re deficient, i'm sure
and now i have an en8 too
i mean en 9, and two en8's they're easypeasy
my head hurts.
have you tried ibuprofen or anything along those lines yet?
no just one should not have had half a bottle of red

I am still thinking I am in June
oh , if you had the weather we're having you'd know it's summer
wow.. that will be great. .. want me to line up some wine tasting.. or if you have kids you should kayak on the Russian River
It's lovely here now.. a bit cooler with the oceanic influences
we want to do it all. would love you to line up some wine tasting... since ken won't be around, your expertise will be particularly helpful
who made wine so tasty?
will do
the Romans did herin..
great.. thanks ru
you are in good hands
gives me a brain ache
take a benedryl before drinking red wine herin.. it may be the histamines causing your headache
yes... and my kids are wine lovers as well and will particularly appreciate this (not my daughter-in-law, but 1 out of 6 is not bad)
unless you are drinking too much..
interesting but we don't ahve that here and it is too cold to go into the car to get drugs
anything with an anti-histamine then herin
too late now anyway herin... but you probably have some sort of antihistamine similar, even if not called benadryl.. check it out
nope. that stuff sends me hyper
i would but i would like to sleep after ER finishes
oh.. then drink lots of water while you are enjoying wine
okay.. have to run..
I did try
bbye ru
wow i am down to 33.. this is such a lovely grid!. i'm out now too.. bye all and happy babbles
Bye Dorens

Hi hun, hows the leg coming on and how is C and and and!
it was an exciting finish after a rather dull day (except for Nemours, which was beautiful!)
FM!!! hello
C's out of hospital! I found the limit for my leg today - 5 miles trudging round a natur reserve!
hey FM
5 miles is quite a bit, don't over do it. Hi peri, how kitty?
G greyed out
ruby did you spot my sa7 clue for you as the grid is moving a tad fast?
Sorry for the delay. Had to take down some info for my coppers. The ca's are monotonous to say the least. Movieman - how was Predators? It looks very cool in the previews.
missed it, I'll go back..
why a fried egg, Judi??!
pretty much the same FM, still pooping in LR and DR but I usually spot it before anyone else
got it, thank you, FM
oh peri.
Bloody awesome, judi......action all the way, and Adrian Brody wasn't too bad
Ata - because it's hot enough here on the east coast to fry one on the sidewalk.
thanks for asking FM only found a ge7 not a ge9
thanks for asking FM only found a ge7 not a ge9
thanks for asking FM only found a ge7 not a ge9
it's almost that hot here,too, very unusual
Predators are one of the coolest alien baddies ever!
I agree judi
hi all... peri, it ends kind of like a grown up newt
but not a newt, the other type
Predators vs. Aliens. Shivery cool.
EvaN - ka5 and 6 a word found in Hinduism or Bhudism
just keep adding to that ge7
it is the basis of "My Name is Earl" tv show
this icon was the best I could do.LOL
t's greyed
It is hot and humid here but after seeing the temps that some of the US babblers are having to put up with I will not complain.
wtg movie!
oh good one jacq!
ty
you can complain fmitch, it's ok. just because ours has been worse doesn't alleviate your heat and humidity
movie you ever watch NCIS?
hello everybody
I don't mind either; it's great for the flowers and tomatoes
beautiful picture jacq
it's cold and windy here
too muggy for me at the moment
Nope, not my cup of tea m9
ty Dorens, i took it myself, dead chuffed with it
ah. Just wondering.. one of the characters talks about movies all the time.
ty got the ge9
ty got the ge9
wow... whatever chuffed means... hope it means proud of...that is a winner!
cold??? good grief! Tomorrow is going to be back in the mid 80's. (no a/c here).
my son who is slight aspie is REALLY into that show.
i love ncis, aloha male Gibbs
It's very dry here as well, FM. Are grass is all crunchy and brown. Supposed to get t-storms today, so maybe we'll get a little moisture. Until then, we shall just have to drink champagne.
Yes Doresn chuffed means pleased/proud.
why can't I get the ge9 LOL
not this far north FM they said it would be about 19 but with the westerly winds it's a lot cooler
want a clue Ata?
did you read the girl with the dragon tattoo ata?
put hospital intake at the end of the ge7...
*our* ugh.
well I know the first 6 letters, just working on the rest!
oh yes, doren. loved the whole series
judi, it rained here for two minutes a couple of hours ago
oh.. no. at the end of the ge6.. plus a cons
TAke the team that lost to Spain and add most of Bambi's mother
yes then, ata...think of her last name
ohhhhh like speedwell. Doh! ty
FM - that clue is so twisted I don't even know how to respond.
LOL !
help with en8's and en9 pls
i've just finished reading little bee this morning.. anyone else here who's read it?
*mind boggling* send help.
now I'm intrigued as to who bambi's mother is!
en8's and 9 extensions of the en7, just take it to the extremes
I can do a different clueif yo uwant Judi.
don't have en7 yet
Ata - lovely pic of the hound. She's certainly "outstanding in her field".
Ata for heaven sake - remember the Disney classic?
judi .. begins like the others - but last letters rhyme with end of sala****** (like a newt)
just a normal ol' animal
the 9 is a plural too btw
en not small, peri
oh, as in the animal? I thought you meant a name!
ty judi!!
ty Dorens
don't think she ever had a name, actually
*le sigh*
*whispers* I've never seen it ....
wasn't it mum or mom?
that was a hard one
you might not get that visa without it, ata
that's my mums name
when are you coming to the states again, Ata and will you ever visit the east coast?
just so unamerican to not be up on your disney flicks... better study up
Ata's never seen "Bambi" ??? * DROPS DEAD *
I saw a Disney ship the other day!
1/2 way and need to return some books to the library, bbs
sure, she's going to come live with me and be my housekeeper... only way she's getting her visa
<<<not too happy wih Disney...
yes, kind of gross, isn't it?
ah, did not know that Dorens :)
nono, Ata is gonna live on my fold-out couch!
bye for now
I'm going to go between babblers!
bye peri
i asked first, eva!
Ata is going to be cloned and populate many couches and spare rooms in multiple roles in the US :)
We call that "couch surfing" here in the US, Ata.
i didnt ask. i TOLD. :P
I think Stiddy got there first actually :P
ah, that dos make sense... there are many who would take you, for a while at least
Interesting, FM. Rather like bed bugs.
LOL Judi, you do make me laugh.
she offered you job as housekeeper? oh well, she can be your west coast employer, i can do the east coast
I've been getting into taking photos of bugs abd beetles and things
Eva - isn't your fold-out going to be rather crowded? I thought Nancy Boy had first dibs.
I'll volunteer to employ for the middle states!
nacho
woohooooo
dammit
LOL cad@
judi, see, they are both english. and england is a small island. they are used to be crowded together...
can you do tat with something i don;t have please?
ty cad!
i could eat some of them right now
na***, not bedbugs
english or na****?
Nevermind Cad, off to the PB but there is cake and drinks in there as it is sprites birthday today.
stats for h's please??? I missed one...
Oh - it's my son's birthday too! Guess the PB is where I should be partying with the birthday people
*lights sparklers in honor of Sprite* Nomms on cupcakes.
i have 87 left and am struggling
117 to go
oh heavens - I'm just past half-way
Clue for Ke6, please?
i
Sorry Ata but I would not invite my worst enemy to this misbegotten town! Afternoon all
i've made it down to 25, and it is slowing down perceptibly
Woo-Hoo - 4 tiles grayed....of course 3 of them are 0/0
hi hootowl. and sorry judi, that's one of the 25
LOL hoot!
hi all, back for 20 :) did my ears burn a little earlier?!
If you already have the pl Judi then the one you want sounds like a very upmarket shop that sells scarves.
ke... think of what miss piggy calls her bf
the ke6 is like the ka6 but change the two vowels for the second vowel
but pl
*looking innocent* Must be the sparklers I lit, NB.
i offered ata my couch,but she does not care for our winters it seems;(((
heya crossy and NB
5 grey tiles - thanks m9
Hey NB!
That is so harsh crossy, I wonder why :))
I'll come in the summer!
BRB
yw cade
anyone can come visit me. Except NB. sorry NB but my housekeeping would give you the willies.
I'm sure, Judi ;)
ty jacq
lol M9! That much of an affront to my fastidious nature?
yw
Ty for the ke clue, FM.
*smothers NB*
I have rampaging hoards of late teen - early 20's young men - and mid teenage girls - and a puppy at my place....two housekeepers couldn't keep up
NB she has the wrong idea! I'd take you in to clean up the place!
from Bambi to the Muppets - never saw that either!!
Ooh. Indentured servitude. Who wouldn't jump at a chance like that?
*is smothered* ;)
That doesn't sound quite right does it?
lol. Back to the PB, Cadfan.
lol, Hoot! and the sad thing is, I'd probably really enjoy it.
Yes.
That wouldn't be the only reason. I think you'd be fun!!!
oh, the muppets was actually fun... first show for chldren that had puns and jokes for the parents as well... stuff flew right over the kiddies' heads
Oh, Ata - the muppets are ever so much more brilliant than Bambi.
My dad had a thing for miss piggy.
Sounds so wrong when you say it like that, M9.
I just *xcouldnt* enjoy it, I tried. And couldnt
ok.. gotta get ready for the backflow tester guy to come. don't want to give HIM the willies.... sigh.
Oh, I love the muppets! Maybe at first, Hoot, but I'd hog the shower in the morning ;)
bye m9
Not a problem - we have two!
miss piggy has a BF?
But the hot water is a problem. Will need to boost it.
Kermit was Miss Piggy's BF.
ms Piggy & Kermit have been an item for a while
well, maybe in miss piggy's eyes
the new on-demand hot water systems,you can run 3 showers all day long;)
I'm afraid I've never seen sesame st. Son is the wrong age and I was always working
rental crossy - the dregs are all thats allowed
Oh, skip Sesame Street, Ruby. Just watch "The Muppet Show".
PB Ruby.
what did I do?
my favorites are prof honeydew and beaker
LOL i loved beaker
Dr4, Ruby. Off you go.
and the Swedish chef!
The Swedish Chef killed me.
it wasn't ruby it was hoot
"Pigs in Space" was my favorite sketch.

crossy I spotted something you poasted in the log earlier about taking the wife up in the hot air baloon, how did she react when yu took the blindfold off?
30 seconds of sheer panic followed by 30 minutes of ohhh and ahhhs ...she loved it
Hello all. How is everyone doing?
I love this grid but I've run out of time. Good night everybody

Seeya, Ruby!

hi and bye red!
Oh brilliant!

hi cross and FM and anyone else. I think I found a great icon for Sprites B day!
thanks for all the clues
Red that is great!!!!
I was thinking of Little monkey, who we have not seen in a bit when I found it!
What does everyone think of the different neon colors Dr God is trying out?
A tad bright?
I think they are a bit on the bright side.. I think they will hurt the eyes ...especially as it takes me all day to do the big ones lol
neon colors? Good god no! My eyes have enough trouble now!
neon colours???
I'm in agreement, I suggested Forest Green....or keep the same set up as we have already...
hopefully the player will have choice of colours
how do i find babble on FB?
and I wonder how those with eye issues will cope with them.
I doubt it crossy.
Absolutely fine the way it is! Just make it stop losing words!!!
I am hoping one the options will be a VERY muted colour lol
I personally don't care what colors he makes it, what he does to it or how he jazzes it up, so long as there is babble and you all are still here
lol hoot.
is the grid going to be changed??
the clickable grid letters will be nice,if he gets it implemented
Jacq .... babble community in the search box on FB
heya Mom
and hello everyone
yes Smom, Dr_G is working on a new format.
oh Mom you are sweet, I think that if the colors get bright like that we may lose some peoples.
I told him to change the dictionary and stop losing words.
howdy mom
i hate that............ it is great just the way it is.. i say if it ain't broke. don' fix it.. and it ain't broke!!
If you follow Dr God on Twitter or Facebook there are all sorts of videos
Hi {{Red}} and {{Crossy}}
I don't do Facebook, so I haven't seen any of the new "experiments".
hi cross
higs Mom back, and anyone else who wants a virtual hug.
Sammysmom, he said he needed to update it and find ways for it to make some money so he can keep it afloat
sammy,seems new pro players have declined of late so he thought to jazz it up
bright colors will not work for anyone! My eyes get sore on 100 word puzzles now
I was surprised to see the brights.
It is not the first time the site has changed so we will all just have to wait and see.
I think finances are tight all over
Hi FMitch, amen
yes hoot, they are and getting worser and worser
Hi Mom
I wish he would open up the archives, I would pay a one off fee to play back grids.
yup!
ty Mom, i joined the community
me too!
Oh good Jacq and you're welcome
did you tell him that FM? it is a way of generating funds
The grid shows up in the archives but no stats show
it was amazing to me to see that only 6-10 people played at first
no, cos I only just thought of it jacq
me too mich, i would love to play the grids in the archives
Ata, you have his ear, how about emailing him on that?
okey dokey
Ta :)

Good thing Dr. G has enough beard for a comb-over.
*grin*
he doesn't really, you know ;)
lol isn't that one of the zz top guys in the pic?
True. It's just to maintain his secret identity.
Dr_G has enough hair for a comb over, a beehive and a quiff - all at the same time :)

thanks
welcome sammysmom
hey, maybe you guys can help me with something?
yes, Zesty?
thought i had a great find but, apparently "whisker" is not a word?
the h is not next to the w,
and neither is wisk?
whisker is but there is no H in the grid where you need it
wisk needs an h
ha so dumb... i typed it in the puzzle as wisker
im too tired, thanks
microsoft word recognizes wisker lol... but wisk should work
it is an odd dictionary here in babble land
ty for answering and not making me feel like a moron!
we are a friendly bunch here
i almost didnt ask, but ppl here are always so nice, im glad i did
it's a phantom Zesty, they do my head in, i type them all day
haha nice ty jac
and i have tried wisk s many times lol
i think we should vote to add certain words to the babble dictionary !
im off for a while, ty e1, hagd
lol i agree and megearks should be one of them
nice!
backflow has been tested.
did it pass?
and wb
Ya got good flow, M9 - or is that too personal to talk about?
yeah..it was fine.
the personal kind... that's not so good!LOL
lol Judi
I'm having my girly friends over this weekend. What's a good movie to watch on Fios pay per view?
new movies?? dont' really know any. But a lot of people never saw Just Like Heaven..and that's a great movie
Home Fries
Hmm. Who's in it, M9?
Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo
Home Fries is Drew barrymore and Luke Wilson
Oh - is that the one where she's a ghost?
yes
I saw Home Fries years ago. Nyeh.
we watch certain movies over and over at our house. Kate and Leopold, Sense and Sensability, Music and Lyrics..
Home Fries takes a certain sense of humor..LOL
Anyone ever see My Blue Heaven?? I need to get a dvd copy of that.
cute chick flick is Valentines Day - jessica alba, kathy bates, jessica biel, patric dempsey, jamie foxx, jennifer garner, anne hathaway etc...
Don't remember My Blue Heaven. "Waiting For the Light" is really good. As are "Waking Ned Devine" and "Shirley Valentine.
i haven't watched a good film for ages
Hi All
me either jac.
we don't tend to watch many new movies..
hi river!
Gotta pop off for a bit. Hopefully I'll get back to finish this monster. tah tah!
an older one was before you go but i can't remember who was in it, british and very moving and funny
bye Judi
we just watched Funny Face.LOL.. which isn't a particularly good movie in spite of it's cast..
I'll have to look that up jac.
another fave of ours is Return to Me.
julie walters
thats who was in it
yup. I just googled it
only has 5.6 stars out of 10 with 275 user votes.
i really enjoyed it, it was very watchable
I'll see if I can get it
River!! how are you? how is keith?
We are both hanging in there - waiting to hear from Boston
are you still at the hospital?
hey there.. which hospital in boston, river?
we came home yesterday - not a success - waiting on Childrens to see what they can do
well i hope he can get in to childrens and they can fix him up properly
thanks - me too - its just sitting on pins and needles waiting - very strict restrictions now - poor kids cant do anything
oh, wish we could do something to help. so sorry
my son is on staff at brigham& women's which i believe is right next door to childrens. not that that helps any... but let us know when it will be... i would try to come up and visit if the dates work out
and what really sucks is I have to work - cant afford not to - took FMLA time off while in hospital but cant keep that up long
yours wishes he could go do stuff and i can't get my 15 and 17 years old off their butts! life is so unfair
that is very sweet Dorens to offer
killed the chog again
I think we all just have cooked brains.
LOL! Nah, wasn't you.
hi all!
has anyone found sa 7/52
hot...it's a skating leap
and it's spelled rather oddly
sa + cons + purina dog ****
my gal sa*, come and get yer vittles at the **** wagon!
thank you! It was making me a little nuts. How did you figure it out?
once I heard it was an iceskating term..I started monkeying that idea.
Mom clued it earlier for someone - I stole the clue - hehe
yup. what river said!
well.. the clue I got was that it was an iceskating term. nothing more specific.
I just checked and it's the right spelling for a real word, yet it wasn't in the word list.
Is there an official word list available?
I don't understand.. it wasn't in what word list?
it's at wordfind.
I don't know about an official list.
a2z wordfinder. It was linked at Anglesong's page.
I think it is probably there. if it was at wordfind.
nope. you are correct. not at a2z. but it is at wordfind. which is my fave.
I am searching for wordfind, but no luck yet. What's the domain?
I dont know about wordfind but I use morewords.com
http://itools.subhashbose.com/
a lot of folks here use morewords
can someone clue the first sa6 please
that's the one I'm working on River!
Thanks m9!

Hello, Kazzer
hi jellen - how are you today
ok. 4yo wants puter. gonna take a break! 75 to go...
wo = is a brave new wo*** but change middle letter to a vowel (pl)
bye m9
thnx river
I am well, thanks...
bye m9
are you home now jellen
Yes, River, got home yesterday...
should have read your profile first - thats great
you must be happy to be home now.... hope tim is feeling well
Tim is trying to rest...hard to get comfortable, and he's not taking as many pain meds as he probably should
can you sneak in another for him without his acquiescence, or is that too sneaky for you?
He's too alert for that, I think...
well, hope you can talk some sense into him then. i'm not a huge fan of pain meds, but he needs to get comfortable
we had a similar situation and the person who would take his full pain killers sai if he did he felt like he had given in to the disease - it was hisbit of independence
Yes, Tim's got an independent streak...
guess that's understandable then
Plus, he's stressed because his mom and sister are coming for the weekend...
love to you both - been think ing about you today - in a good way obvously
Thanks, Kazzer...
this grid is quite tricky - still got 1127 to go - but list free
oops 127
Go Kazzer go!
hey all
Hi, stid!

Hi everybody. Just looking at the 9.00 news here. A penguin was kidnapped from Dublin Zoo last night, and released on a city street this morning. The local residents were quite perplexed!!
brb
hey soodles!
poor little penguin-guy! hope it is okay?
Watch out for penguins, soodle. Do you still have famous Tigers in the Dublin zoo?
Hello Mama. Yes, the penguin was a bit stressed, but returned to normal in jig time!
:-D glad to hear it. *pictures of happy little irish penguins tiptoeing through the shamrocks looking for pots of gold*
Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today
By the way,congratulations to all the finishersHooray
hello Min! welcome to the grid!
Famous tigers? Emmm, Woods was playing in Limerick at the weekend..... does that count? Dont think he lives in a zoo, more like the dog-house, these days....
Guten Tag, babblers. I worked my way through the whole grid and one word will not cooperate. Can anyone clue the first sa word, sa7/52? Please
rofl soodles
guten tag sehr liebe inge!
I read a very very old travel guide about Ireland and the tigers were at one time very famous about the 1920s.
sa 7/52 is s plus ** Gore plus ch 4/10 word inge and hi
first three letters like the start of pepper's counterpart, inge, then a word for food, or a fluffy black asian dog with a blue tongue
I think that's before soodles (and my) time, Mother...
when ***ly met Harry, plus a breed of dog ch 4/10
Yes, assorted Stids! I am happy to say that the 1920's were before my time. LOL
Well, true it is before our times but it was possible that tigers remained a forte of the Dublin zoo.
there. HALFWAY and NBT. (((hugs all)))
That should have read when Harry met ***ly, plus breed of dog, ch4/10.....
Thanks Soodlebum. I got it the first way and didn't notice it was backwards.
Thats good Mixi, I was a bit distracted by kidnapped penguins.....

Culture Club lead singer may be a babbler here I think
no way! who is that?
boy george
However, I have not seen him in the chog for awhile.
cool!
is that the name he uses in Babble ?
or do you mean someone with the screen name boy george, not the singer?
Uses his real name in Babble, but don't want to say it.
only two nights ago? then it's time for chicken again LOL
I saw Flickr pictures of him and it looked a lot like him
(had it for lunch today with son) but didn't want to say that. We did save him a leg though
you mean crossy don't you??
guess I will have to google boy george's real name since Min won't say.
oh Jacq that would be so funny
george o'dowd

Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
bbl, gotta run an errand
Ouch, Nef!
hi Min.
I was an idiot! Forgot to warm up first!
Goodbye Book Doctor Gwen!I will see you later maybe
Hi min
several medical measurements in the grid today
really? Comes out of lurk mode reluctantly.
Hi, Nef, NB and angelina...and red!
hiya Red, Jellen :)
also an sm word that most nurses don't like to run into, red
Hi jellen
yes, I found that one....
with 139 left, I should not be having the trouble I am having!!!
I started listing hi to each person; but I guess I'll just say HI to Everybody!
lol, hi nef
don't forget plurals of everything, red
I think working night shift has sucked my brain!!!
it happens a lot when you rotate shifts
That's the way I feel about our hospital stay...energy, too!
I find that nights is not bad for the running thing, but sometimes I just forget things...
Jellen, how is today going?
Hello redturtlehead!How are you?Welcome to the grid
hi Minver how are you?
Tim is trying to get comforatable, not eating a lot...
I am well. Started this at flip.Did some more at 7:30.I have been here off and on since 4:00. I have 62 to go
morning everyone. Tough grid
Someone said it was not too bad except for 20 words.
hy lynnxx...it is not easy.
Hi, lynxxx
hi lynxxx
I am also finding it not too bad,but have gotten some weird words as well. I started listing after 165 words.
the gang i almost all here!!!
Hi Jellen. How good to get home! Try yoghurt too
I just got a whole bunch of plurals going through list.
like I said a few minutes ago, don't forget plurals of everything
new one for me ca7.36 - check dates on the ca****ar* (no singular on this one)
haven't opened the list yet, have 42 left so i am getting close to opening it i think
tx lynxxx didn't have that one
good going Angelina, I have just opened at 60
that's good too :)
just went through my list of words adding s or es and found lots of words!!
have none of the sm words
oh, hello Peri!
hey NB
ca6.24 - like Shakespeare's Ha****
another good one lynxxx that i didn't have, only need to find one more of the c words
hi peri
hey angel, hello all
sm 5/12 word is sm plus listening organ. sm 5/20 is s plus an me 4/9 (also the name of a babbler) Periwinkle

now THAT is a new one for me! and plural
eww, ty Une
indeed
yw
Happy Birthday, spritey wherever you re, hope you are having a great day!
had an icon for her all day -- did anyone see her??
I have not
I saw her this morning, at 4 when I was up. She was jolly and good.
Sprite was on as usual a few hours after the flip, usually finished in about an hour
Une are you interested in playing a game of scramble?
sm5.14 and 6. Only seen it before with a y end. sm & what joins your hands and shoulders
Hi, peri and Une...was tending to the patient...
ty lyn, fouind it, I have only seen it ending with y also
hey Jellen
how is the patient and how are you Jellen
He's having trouble getting comforatable and I'm a little tired still...
:(
We'll be okay...he's also stressed because his mom and sis are coming for a visit...
sorry, Peri, was reading articles at tennis.com :-)
Jellen, hope Tim's able to get comfortable -- and re mom and sis coming, that can be incredibly stressful for the patient . . . bummer
i remember reading years ago about how much a patient's temp rises during visits -- jeez!
that is why hopsitals try to limit the number of visitor at one time
yep
most visitors mean well but many tend to stay way too long
I worked in hospitals for many years
true
aaahhhh
His mom came to visit in the hospital, too...
i remember
we feel like part of the family :-)
And is planning on coming out again next weekend, I think...
Une gues you are not intersted in scramble then, I will delete the game I started, no problem
Too much!
sorry -- will check it out -- don't think I've played before
yikes, my typing stinks
it is fun, like babble but each round is 3 minutse. I really like it. red, ping, torg and other play too
hi peri and Unea. How are you doing these days?
do they live close Jellen? perhaps they can just make them short visits - they would understand that Tim is not up to long visits
need to check on laundry bbs
They are 6 hours away...
hey, nef :-)
transported a very sweet rescue dog today -- Clark -- am sure he'll get adopted fast :-)
I just won't put a chair in the bedroom...and tell Tim to groan if they sit on the bed, lol
jellen LOL
Jellen. That makes it hard then. Why don't you take advantage that there is someone to attend to Tim needs and takes some breaks/get out of the house while they are there. You need to take some breaks too!
Seriously Jellen; you will have to tell them that he needs rest at times.
Sounds like a plan, lynxx...I have a gift card to a spa...
excellent!
Great plan! Use it while they are visiting, Jellen
fireworks and hi all!
and haircuts...and shopping...and catching p with some friends...it will do you a world of good
hi and congrats, jilli!!
Oh yes, jellen, go to the spa! You need it!
Congrats Jilli!
Hi Jilli,
Jellen, go to the spa...
Hi, jilli!
hi jilli
Congratulations jillibus on fireworks! Hooray for you!
YAY, jilli!!! WTG!!!!
Hooray for jilli, btw!!
congratualations and salustations Jilli!!!! oh and I can not spell...
Hi Jillibus. I have over 90 words left and feeling very smart at having found over 200 words. I had help from Stidkid #1. Is it as warm where you are as what we have? 84 degrees for us. did your cold dissapate?
Hello stidgmere! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
Hi Minveryork. Always happy to hear from you! I am staying comfortable today as I finished ironing this morning while it was still cool. Life is good.
Going to check on Tim...BBL
DANG! I am now officially OLD! Just had a skin tear on my forearm (from a minor bump!) that won't stop bleeding. BBS
sorry, nef!
Sorry I was lurking, but it's steaming here now -- last Wednesday it was 15.5C (60F) and yesterday was 32C (90F) -- we're just not used to such a change!
Nef, skin is a variable thing. Pay no heed except to keep it clean and heal fast.
Wow, I found a ge 9 all on my own. Well that is a lovely thing.
97 here today but we finally got RAIN!
cool, red!
Oh, I understand both heat and lurking and the connection between them. I miss seeing you. Must make sure you come in August.
congrats on rain and sorry about heat, must go get dog outside....emergency!
I have a small job to do in the garden (in the shade) and then I have beach plans so will be back to clue later
Take care jilli.
s'gmere -- son and d-i-l are in Tadoussac now :)
Hi and bye Jill - enjoy! :)

jilli, my daughter and her boyfriend LOVED the time they spent there!

Ah lucky Tadoussac.
It's a special place.
Hiya Unea, cute picture! Haven't seen Sprite today, but hope she had a lovely day
Hi and bye NB -- is it hot in London too?
:-D

Ugh, it's awful, Jill! So hot I'm praying for the cats to have a mad minute and start racing around my room...at least there'll be a breeze!
Well, all for now. Take care as I poof off to the pergola for a later afternoon read.
OK, gotta go -- back later! Be cool, everyone!
hello everyone
take care, Jill :)

Hi NB, Have the cats started to run and create a breeze for you?
Not yet Annie, I'm dying here! I'm not made for this weather ;)
Goodbye jillibus! I will see you later on in the chat log!
How hot is it there? Here it was over 100 degrees two days running. Too much.
Hello Anniebrook!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

have had enough of laundromats
love the company but hate all the extra laundry
wow.. I haven't been to a lundry mat in decades
Yay for the washer and dryer!
thanks jellen
I ended up doing handwashing for the last couple of days in the hospital...
Lucky you, West! I am developing serious muscles from dragging bags of clothes to and from the launderette ;)
it's so expensive now ruru $2 a load to wash and 25c for 5 mins to dry
NB if you lived a bit closer you'd be welcome to use mine
jellen I have been reading back is Tim still in or are you home now?
We are home!
It's alright, I've actually met some really nice people there! Going on a date with one of them next week ;)
that's good to hear how is he feeling?
Tim's bro is here, too...he's a big help...

Tired, still in pain, but manageable...needs good rest...

sorry to hear about your mom, west
thanks it's very frustrating she's 94 and doctors seem to think she's lived long enough..but she keeps fighting
wow..
that is so rough, west -- I think it's wrong to assume a person doesn't need medical attention just because they're old.
usually they thorw everything at it
in the meantime we had a graduation from college party for our oldest granddaughter 65 people and lots of work but lots of fun too
Hi Westford.Sorry to hear about your Mom westford.

My Grandmother will be 93 at the end of this month,

hi, all
My grandmother is doing very well.She sold her house a few years ago and went into assisted living,but her mind is about 95% percent.I say 95 because she does not always remember things.She has also lost some of her hearing, but she is doing great. She helps people who are younger than she is. She's very active in her new community. She lost her husband five years ago.
how's the grid going?
(((angelsong))) so good to see you!

Going to the Melanoma Chat room now...bbl...
(now I'm finally eating my supper)
Goodbye Jellen!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
What is for dinner Nef?I made orange chicken tonight
actually, a semi-warm protein shake, a spinach/veggie salad with blue cheese and a banana cream pudding. NOT our usual fare; but it fills us up tonight
y'all are going to make me hungry!!!
(I forgot to put the shake in the frig when I took off out of here earlier)
Min's orange chicken sounds yummy!
I liked it, but my husband was not a fan of it.It was a little too sweet for his taste.I'd never made it before
how'd you make the orange part?
Recipe called for orange juice & grated orange peels.
hello all ((Nef - how's you and hubby?))
so that doesn't sound so terribly sweet then
Hello stidmama!How are you? Welcome back to puzzle
hiya stid
hey pini. talked to my teacher today and he will let me put off actually writing the papers this summer until I have glasses and can read the texts I need...
*sigh* getting old is inconvenient.
that will be about two weeks. Will see the eye doctor tomorrow.
congrats, stid!!!
my eye appt is on 07/24...
stid, today was our day OFF! No doctor appts,; NO therapies; no nothing on the schedule. (I forgot about my class this evening; so ended up running out of here like crazy!)
I do not know why it was so sweet. Maybe it was the rice vinegar as well, which we have never had before
rice vinegar isn't sweet either (I don't think)
ooooh. yippy about day off! :-D
good pini. eyes are important.
they are...I'm just not going to get my glasses via the optometrist this time...
where will you get them? we go through group health since it's partially covered and has a decent replacement guarantee.
down to 40.
I'm guessing I might try one of the local lens crafters (seem to be more reasonably priced)...
git'r dun, stid!
(I should find something to eat and feed Koda, too)

hi stid
hey hoot! thanks!

hey LBD. don't tell me... I know the answer to this one... *not lincoln, or pierce.... maybe taft...*
hehehe
*grin* how are you doing LBD?
surviving. it's really hawt!
how are your studies going?
studies are going okay. this teacher is a little too easy going sometimes, but he expects us to do our best, so having the flexibility (like his letting me write the papers once I get my glasses in a couple weeks) is very nice.
technically one paper is due tuesday, but he has okay'd my doing the presentation now and the more intense writing and revising once I can see the texts...
that's nice of him to do that. bet he's thinking, if she can see what she's writing it will make sense! lol
yes, and he knows I know how to write. he had me last summer also.
ahh, having a past with him helps! what's the presentation on?
Please help with re5/12, 1st one - I'm sure it's easy but I can't see it!
the one on Tuesday is how I intend to structure the weeks for the 7th graders in the fall when I am teaching (want to use the idea of literacy workshops); the one on Thursday is about assessments, and will develop pre-assessments, formative assessments and a quick summative assessment for the short story unit I intend to teach... and the lesson plan the following tuesday I am doing with a nice young man on the connection between hiphop lyrics and poetry.

Hi Pinikula! How are you doing? Welcome back to grid
Thanks so much, Min.

Hi min -- I'm happily refreshed after my first swim in the sea of the year -- it was divine!
sea? you swim in salt water?
I gave up swimming in anything other than a tub or pool after being a summer camp counselor...couldn't handle the "unknown" between my toes! :) LOL
sorry, didn't mean to kill the chat
Pini ~ that's why they created tevas. there is nothing like swimming in the ocean.
btw ~ hi.
I have Teva's, just never get 'em wet! ;)
Hello Minski! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
I only wear mine on the beach and in the ocean or the lake.
Oh yes, salt water in Vesuvius Bay on Salt Spring Island. Glorious.
jilli, is this late for a first swim?
Perhaps I'll have to reconsider and add it to my Bucket List...
hi all. this is some grid. I have 159 words that I found without listing. still have 150 left to find. not likely though but a fun grid nonetheless.
Yes it is, nef -- last Wednesday the temp was 60F, this Wednesday 90F!
I have a 131 and am listing "just because"
What are Tevas? Our beach here is stony so we have to wear water shoes. Mine are from Lands' End and are perfect.
When is the "normal" first swim there?
Teva's are a brand of sandel that can warn in water most effectively.
It is ra 4/4 of me to finish big grids. On the babble sc 5/12,I would rate this medium difficult.I made a little de4/5 in this la 6/24 than la 5/14 grid, but not going to finish so I will le 4/5 a hand with a story of clues. I was all ge4/6 up to watch some fireworks outside my window on the 4th of July, but I could not because of my dog. His na 4/5 is Jack. He did not gr5/14 me the pleasure of doing that.Usually have a gr5/16 old time on the 4th of July, but not this year. I ca 4/5 believe how much fireworks sc5/12 my dog got on the 4th of July. He acts all ma 5/16 and barks when it comes to other animals,but not when it comes to fireworks.My dog is not an ar 6/21 fan of fireworks and doesn't ca 4/5 for them. Loud noises te 4/5 to sc 5/12 Jack. He ac 5/14 so sc 5/12ed on the 4th of July. There were a lot of fireworks in my ar 4/4. The FWs were driving him insa4/4 and he was all up in ar 4/5 over them. He was so sc 5/14ed that he made a huge ma 4/9 on my floor with me 5/14. Then he re5/14 his dinner.I think they hurt is ea 4/4 and gave him an ea7/36.I wonder if fireworks also look en 7/36ed to him. It took him a long time to ca4/6 down when they were over but he finally did get ca 6/24. Jack ca 4/6 up on my lap and stayed on my lap for over an hour.I wanted to take a picture of the fireworks with a ca6/24,but I couldn't with him in my lap. I think he had nightma5/12 about fireworks because he didn't sleep too well that night. I hope they didn't sc4/5 him for life. Now my hubby is beginning to make his sa 4/5 old snide re 7/48 about Babble which means he wants the computer.I'm going to surre4/5er the computer to him. My story en 4/5 here. I know it was a la 4/5 story but I couldn't think of anything el 4/4 to write about. Now I am going to go ch 4/10 on some dessert. Then I am going to goto my co 5/12 bed and watch Dorothy,from The Wizard of Oz, travel to the Em7/36 city.Goodnight babblers!
I really have to go and get some supper (microwaved frozen Beef Merlot)
