Pini. Law English is easy. Why say you are going to the store to buy milk when you can write a 10 000 word thesis on it
(ROFL, herin...so true, so true!!!!!)
Clues are up
hmmm, still showing yesterday's grid and stats completed!
HI Lickety and thanks
Thank you!!
thx lickety; refresh, flosey...brb
Thanks Lickety!
ah, that's better, yes, just did jilli
Interesting history, flosey!
thanks jilli, lengthy, but I found it interesting
yours also, jilli
there's a lot more at the website
if there's time, I'll check it out
nbt
hello all!
hi stid
I am still awake, thought I would see how the new grid looks.

hey lady and angelina
Too many N's Way to go Flossey
Stid guess what.
wtg flosey
what lady? *waiting with anticipation*
I am actually going to apply to a law school to do a Batchelor of Art /Law.
good for you! that will be a difficult course of study, but you are up to the task.
Well I have to sit a test first then apply and then wait
sure. that's the usual procedure here too.
it is called DULSAT (pardon spelling) here
we'd better be careful about how we say goodbye here
well the last letter stands for "test"... LOL
just saw that too, jill. *sigh*
Stid: http://tinyurl.com/22o2pte
I guess I don't see what you do Stid and Jilli
thanks lady!
po4/8, mag
wow...how did I not see that!?
well, down to 27 and want to print something for tomorrow. Not sure I will be up to going to school, but will try. *sigh*
*po 4/8*
wtg stid! Are you still sick or again sick?
ate something that disagreed, jill -- I think. but it could be viral. if I am still rotten in the morning it's viral and I will stay home... *re-po 4/8*
oh boy, stid!
Poor Stid :(
nbt ;)
wtg pini
now off to find my icon
wtg Pini
only 1 more for nbt...
git'r dun, magy!
what, no fireworks yet?
nbt!
fireworks
phants: adnexa, hapax
20 left here, grem -- have you finished?
almost spoke too soon, grem! :)
yeah, and I started way late
YAY moolingwa!
no clues needed
tx jil :)
solo here too
fireworks
18 minutes, I think
thought you must have, grem, in about 5 minutes
yep same here, no list
would have been 5 with Lickety, heh
did the sudoku as well :)
congrats grem and mool too
well, I did the sudoku blindfolded!
* icon changed *
oh yeah...well I did it without even turning my computer on!
congrats to the speed demons!!!
oy, the bragging!
computer? *sputter* I telegrammed my entries!
I did interpretive dance
beautiful, pini!
smoke signals
(but squished, I think?)
I mimed my answers to a frog
thx jilli...your's too!
smoke signals blindfolded, no less - don't try it at home
who then transcribed them via morse code
will check, jilli
HI moo
Is someone giving out potables? Seems like some are in their scuppers! Hihi
ty pini
hey lady...long time
HI Hoot
Yes it has been Mool
well it's 1:33am here...time for beauty sleep
oops - knew there was a reason I shouldn't pop in.......
Stid you there?
I threw buckets of paint onto the heads of Mt. Rushmore to make domino representations, which my trained owl then memorized and told my telegram sender, blindfolded, by imitating a frog mime in interpretive smoke dance
night moolingwa!
Hi Grem
fireworks
night all
hi herin
oh wow, flosey!
17 left here now.
gave up and got the last one from morewords
the an6?
no, the he6
or the te6/7?
oh, that was easier though
I have 33 left and don't have a single 5, 6, or 7!
tried monkeying but wouldn't come!
I slowed down with my last 3 words being 4s!
nice, Pini
isn't it annoying when you cant get a 4
there are some easy enough 5s
same here Pini!
* diving back in to find some "easy" ones *
if you know the starting letter, you can eventually type all combinations for a 4, at least
Fish me please
in *reasonable* time
with that middle X being surrounded by As, Ns, and Es, I thought there would be a xenon or a xenia or a xanthan or something
* pondering peeking at list *
fe5, te5 are a couple to get you started
I ahve 2 words with X in it
no 3
xantax?
;)
I think Xanax is a drug, yes?
yep, anti-anxiety
oooooh wait...I have 13 5's...dont' have any 6, 7, or 8
there are 5 words using the x
it is, grem
ahhh
well, that's less impressive - avoiding all 23 of the 5s after the halfway point was amazing
I mean lead X, flosey
nice going, grem
right
"exeat" is in the grid - it works at Wordsplay or some other site
what name do you play under at wordsplay grem?
"gremlinn"
sometimes I'm on a team though
lol
Hi RU
oh.. that's why I haven't seen you there
in fact, I may go over there now
hiya ru
hi herin
if you play 4x4 only, you won't see me
4x4 is for baby Bogglers
I can't play a 4x4 grid...too small
exactly, grem!
they're the chatty ones, though
we used to play boggle at home...
...but quit because only me and my dad would always win...
...now I just play online.
firewords
( and I think I've killed the chog )

Hi m9

cluck cluck!

I'm too tired to be punny
m9, did you see what I said about your icon?
I'm playing 6+ letter words on Wordsplay
lurking fireworks for Metfan & Moi --yea! nite all & Le POOF!
that sounds like something I'd be hopeless at, grem
YAY and PB for pugmet!!!
fireworks
I guess m9 isn't seeing anything I say, lol!
YAY anike!!!
hi everyone, hooray! on a busy day for me we have a little grid
jilli we have the same cross by the look of it
Hi sandy -- I guess we have the same icon but I fixed mine
Gotta go back to work
fixed? I am lucky to have one let alone fixing it!
Never mind -- I'm going to bed soon.
different blurbs tho
huh?
Yes!
icons m9
what did you say? that I haven't changed it? that it's quite the family camping trip??
It was the camping trip, m9, lol!
sandy, your blurb is charming :)
yours is very interesting jilli
this is so educational
he 6/36?
this does not look an easy grid tho
there, it's changed. I'm thinking of mine more as a design than a cross....
It's not bad, sandy
huh... it just looks black.
not bad for some jilli, I really liked yesterdays
m9, I see a black square!
funny, I didn't like yesterday's -- too many useless words
nm
I found it.
now I see your design, m9!
ok... that one worked
good, ruru -- I was trying to think of a clue but am too sleepy -- sorry.
but you're still having the camping trip, m9!
your point jilli?!?!?!???!LOL
I don't really like crosses.
but I LOVE crossy!
Well, I'm off to slumberland -- g'night all!
11 to go
nite jilli
night jilli

Congratulations, m9f9l

I wonder why my icons are automatically putting a black backgound on where it should be white?
there we go. I like this icon
could I have a clue for the as words please
of course!
think of yellow fruits..
with a peel
ty M9 we are obviously on the same wave length
:-)
anything else before I hand this over to my girl? She let me on just to see how big the grid was...and I ended up just doing the whole thing:-D
oh the he6 please
it's a chemistry word.
and it has lots of points.....
does it include both the 4 & 6?
no. just the 6
OK thats where I am going wrong, thanks
yw.
got it?
not yet lol
it curls round on self.
ty got it now :-)
phew!
LOL
with only 76, I figure the clues shouldn't be TOO specific!LOL
ok. any more?
my daughter was petting me and telling me how soft my hair is. how sweet.
no that's great thanks M9, have a good evening/night
ok. I'm to bed!
sleep well
hello everybody or anybody!
katie, are you still there?
Rubyfoo - I think everyone finished early, and left.
hello christine
strange tiny grid and for once, I have a little time
I loved yesterda's
Hello, Dear. I have only 52 words
I reached half quickly, but only have 42 now
I reached half quickly, but only have 42 now
I reached half quickly, but only have 42 now
I reached half quickly, but only have 42 now
I reached half quickly, but only have 42 now
I reached half quickly, but only have 42 now
I reached half quickly, but only have 42 now is it hot there?
whoops, 9 o'clock glitch!!! sorry
I only typed that once....
are you up very late or very early?
Good morning Ruby and Christine
minimal nbt! (A minimal accomplishment on this grid)
Hello Doug too
good morning westford and douglas!
funny little grid; I liked yesterday's better
I have just started. Got caught up in Celtic cross information
this looks like a mean little thing
today my credit card was bleeding
poor thing hasn't been used this much in a long time
Back again. Goodmorning, all. Rubyfoo, your gremlins have hiccups.
had hiccups.
I hope you bought some wonderful shoes!
wedding gift, baby shower gift, birthday gifts for daughter and her fiance
I'm getting a washer and dryer ruby time for shoes later..I have too many as it is lol
in another world I get shoes and a bag that cost more than our first house
I'd*
for my trip on the Orient Express
my husband used to joke that our re-modeled kitchen here cost more than his first house! now he doesn't make jokes about it
we remodeled our kitchen 2 summers ago best thing we ever did
aaah, the Orient Express......
we had the most wonderful contractor
I wondered how much a ticket on the OE would be..husband said 'if you have to ask' lol
hi and nbt
I have almost all the tiles except t in the first row
everything we put in, and it was all "top of the line", has broken in less than 11 yrs: gagenau stove top (gas), ovens (electric), fridge (GE), dishwasher (Miele), disposal, etc. Horrible. I never heard of a stove breaking in the US!
hi josh wtg !! where are you now?
usually it's the vowels that get me
hi joshua
i am in phoenix now
by the time you get to phoenix...
ta4/4,5,5, ta5/12 and te5/30
hot josh?
thanks ruby I couldn't see a single t
hot everyplace, I think
unbelievably hot
I'd like to state that I didn't expect te5 to be a word
my shoes melted in Phoenix in August
but the t's on the left are another story -- only have one
nbt !! and I agree Doug they must have made it a rule in the lone star state
ruby our brand new GE refrigerator broke down after 2 months
ours keeps breaking and the door handles are all corroded and icky!
I thought our "lemon" was a special export (expat) model!
whatever happened to quality control?
doesn't exist in Europe
see you later!
okay hope so
just heard someone bought Trigger for $266K
seems cheap
morning all
hello button
hi west
west, i need a clue for the as 5 and 6 combo please
they are the only two words standing between me and fireworks
think of a community in iowa or the name of a refrigerator but change the first consonant
or as and Princess Di***
thanks west......fireworks
I am not using the list yet so not sure if those are the ones you need
YAY !! button
may I have the first 2 letters of the 8?
west, need any clues before I head to bed?
see below lol
first 2 of the 8 please?
pe 8
thanks
lower class in europe
got it and now to bed
good night west
hello hello!
Hello!
La Haz! La Glitteratina!
Sucky-duck guru! Hobbitellinarina!
Hobbitella is arranging the paws
As any self-respecting spaniel should.
well, yes. She has some rogue burrs, I think
Spangle is getting trimmed tomorrow, so the paw arranging will be a less protracted affair. Daughter 1 will have to take her as I'll be in Edinburgh with daughter 2.
Good morning everyone:) just sneaking in whilst at work lol
hi Jean!
Hello, jean!
Paw arranging will always be done though. It's important
It seems to be.
as is the snorting and snuffling and gurgling while doing it
Husband got a new phone (through his contract) yesterday and came home with a free X-box. It's possibly the world's most inappropriate give-away since he has not a clue what it's about.
LOL! that's an impressive give-away, but ..... hmm ....
We've pretended to daughter 1 that we're thrilled and see it as a welcome addition to the home.
looooool
husband does love his
We've discussed where it should go etc. But the reality is that we'll either sell it or give it to someone who will appreciate it.
you could have it in your new super portacabin!
Gosh, there's a thought! But they might get so caught up in the games that they'll not want to go out to the horses.
true, true ... but if it was raining .... and I bet you could get horsey games for it!
Raining is no problem with an indoor arena. They do use the outdoor one when possible but it's nice to be under cover for when it occasionally rains here.
indoor arena! how nice!! you have *everything* in Ballymena!
I loved the comment Darren Clarke (golfer from NI) made about the weather at Loch Lomond's recent tournament. 'There was torrential rain, not heavy torrential rain. If you come from Ireland you'll know that there's a huge difference.'
I know, Ballymena is just the last word.
loooooooool
I do like a man with a sense of humour.
Ireland and Wales! I know the difference!
The funny thing was that while Loch Lomond was getting drenched, people who were sweltering in the south of England who were watching, must have thought they were seeing a recording or something, there was such a huge difference in the weather.
Morning you two :)
Good morning, FM!
Greetings!
Snape is in the grid. I would have a hard time keeping track of who I had and hadn't betrayed if I were him.
Morning you three!
And jean's here as well, FM, she's sneaking a peek from work.
mnbt3! Whoo-hoo!
Oh look, a cast of thousands is emerging!
FM!!
Hello lynxxx and Douglas.
Hi there lynxx and lurking Jean and Douglas.
hi Douglas
When do you return from Scotland Haz?
Hello lynxxx, Haz, FM, Ata
hola
It's a flying visit - going over this afternoon and will be in Edinburgh by about 6pm, then coming back tomorrow afternoon, hopefully getting in around 6.40 pm.
hi kje
Morning kje
Hola, kje!
hi kje
Hope there is not too much left to pack. Don't forget to take an umbrella, they are giving out weather warning for Scotland today :(
nice to see the continent awake ; )
Boxes are due to be picked up tomorrow morning, we'll do a bit of a last minute clean before heading off with whatever needs to be put in cases.
I know, the weather doesn't look great, does it? Too warm for a coat, so a brolly will have to do.
brolly? jacket?
We had incredible gusty winds overnight and torrential rain and it is still doing both now.
umbrella
ah
lol kje, alien concept for you?
wouldn't think.. coat vs umbrella... no
but learned a new word!
Sometimes when it rains here, it's not cold enough to wear a raincoat, so you just use an umbrella instead.
Babblers are full of spurious information.
Spurious? Are you not insulted, Ata? Here we are, bestowing valuable knowledge to the world at large and FM thinks it's spurious.
I need to buy a proper raincoat, I only have one suitable for the odd shower.
Hurt. Deeply hurt.
Misunderstood and maligned.
LOL
hello again. Half before, trying again now
Morning ruby.
hi Ruby
Hello, ruby.
I just think that Fm is deluded :)
probably.
Is it living in that village and listening to those bells that has sent her doolalley?
if the wind is gusty, won't it pick you up and make you fly with your umbrella like Mary Poppppins
yes! the bells, the bells!!
the bells! the bells!
I mean, she used to be one of our more sensible babblers - blameworthy, but sensible.
snap Ata
snap
PB for all of you.
whoops, I'll meet you in the PB FM for second breakfast
apart from me *smug*
(A nice piece of entrapment there)
or early lunch
*le sigh*
Lets go ruby.
Maybe we'll give you a fool's pardon.
I'm ready! it is finally a little bit cooler; it has been awful for the past week or so, over 90 every day which is very hot for here
There will be a lot of people in the PB today when they are wanting to leave babble as they can't po4 today.
They'll just have to exit gracefully.
yay Astana is in the grid!
backing out and waving goodbye
maybe singing
phantom: expat moi!
Not Vicuna, though.
and a bad Tour team: astana
boo hiss Contador
yay for David Millar who has a lot of class!
Back, Mum just called to cancel our day as the weather is so bad.
now you can watch the Tour, lol
Oh, what a pity - what were your plans?
poor COntador LOL, why does everyone hate him?
Poor Contador - misunderstood and maligned. I know how he feels.
so does FM. always
We were going to the local market and then an art exhibition,but the forecast is looking much better for tomorrow so we will see.
so true Ata.
because 1) he's arrogant, 2) he only speaks Spanish (doesn't even make an effort), 3) none of the other riders talk to him and 4) he beat my Lance last year!
Poor Contador, misunderstood because he's Spanish. Maybe he and Nadal should get together.
not everyone's good at languages!!
Rafa can just about manage ENglish now :P
but most of the other riders, English, Australian, German, etc., make an effort to speak French, especially if they've been in the Tour and are contenders
I know, but Nadal is loved even if he's not fluent. I just meant he could give Contador lessons in how to be loved.
ohhh, yes!
everyone loves Rafa
it would take more than that!
Une REALLY loves Rafa.
everyone?
yes, everyone in the whole wide world
Nearly everyone loves him and Une loves him enough to make up for the ones who merely tolerate him.
She does, doesn't Haz :)
hahah
So, basically, Contador just needs to get surgery done to make him look like Rafa, and all will be well.
fast grid
and get Rafa's attitude too
actually, he's sort of handsome, but it doesn't make up for the rest. Most of the riders look sort of dopey (of course, they're not), from having their muths agape and eating flies all day
An attitude transplant.... pioneering concept.
and ata will get the patent
hi kje
(kje needs to be distracted, she's taking this too seriously and finding words)
It is kje, and not bad for a small one.
So, kje, how are the plans coming along for attitude transplants
words? in this grid? I only hv 50
i know haz! but I amhalf asleep so would rather just enjoy y'alls banter than to try to think fast enough to enter in ; )
it is 0330 here
why up so early kje?
or so late?
brb. tea anyone?
Not for me, thanks, Ata.
pls, with milk, no sugar
mmm yes plesae Ata
if i knew, fm, i wouldn't be here... no offense to the lovely people here of course
(Considers whether to be offended)
Yay, found the revolting ones
i am drinking tea, ata... but iced
hello lynxxxx!
revolting ones?
Just think, kje, you now know about brollies. The time has not been wasted.
very true... i must drop that one in a convo soon!
the pe8.45 are revolting
I'm surprised you didn't know it already, but I suppose we just take our expressions for granted.
lol lynxxx.
lynxxx, I was starting to look for rotters, then realised what you meant.
???
well, given how frequently you guys need them compared to here, I suspect you have many more words for umbrella than we do
oh, got it!
lovely, thank you lynxx
Not as many words for umbrella as for varieties of rain, all the same.
not here, the French have a dearth of nouns, just too many verbs!
*tea for all except haz*
ty ata, just in time
Thank you Ata.
China cups, I hope?
Oh, but French verbs are lovely, all those nice tenses.
Big mugs!
mugs or cups, whatever people wish!
There goes FM, all insulting again.
when I was young, I had to memorize 16 tenses. In daily life, I only use about 6!
Hi all, kje are you Still up?
OK, down to 3... would either need to list now, or come back when there is more light....
hello red
go to sleep!
not still, red.... woke up around 2 for some horrid reason... so here i sit
wtg kje, go for the list. Hi red.
morning Red
morning.
Good morning, red.
why are you up, red? work?
get list and then go to sleep kje, i am sorry you are insomniac-ing.
Nah, I am eating before running, and will go back to be for an hour to digest.
i think i shall go back too... 2 words for later (hopefully i will not forget to come back)
I recommend almond butter, but not 100%
bye all, thanks for the new words and giggles
Bye kje and bye to everyone else.
Sleep well kje, byee.
hope you get some more sleep, kje!
Toodle-oo, kje.
bye red
Bye, red.
and *poof* for me with 23 left
bye kje
And ruby.
Bye red and ruby.
bye everybody *re-poof*
does anyone know what the weather is meant to be like next week?
and ruby has PB'd herself
Not next week, no.
No Ata, the metoffice web site only does a 5 day forecasdt.
I'm trying to plan a day up taking photos in London Zoo and then meeting friends afterwars, and trying to outguess the weather lol
I suppose anything looks better in sunshine.
That sounds like fun, but is the leg up to it?
in the brace it is :)
macro photography is *much* easier in sunlight!
ok
I need some escapage anyway
What in particular will you be shooting, or is it just what catches your eye?
whatever really. I just like playing with my new lens lol
I have visions of camera-hogging animals lining up with their prettiest poses.
I have a brilliant macro lens for my Pentax SLF but the camera is letting light in and needs fixong.
Goodnight all. Have a good day over there
Nighty night lynxxx.
Goodnight, lynxxx, sleep well!
I hope they will!
SLR not SLF *sigh*
hi guys
Hello, sandyloo.
Hello sandy.
hi snady
hi hi hi
snady? *giggle*
giggle also
can't type tpday lol and have paint palette over half of keybpard!
excuses, excuses :)
Yes, the o and the p are changing olaces tpday.
are you an artist Ata?
LOL
I have wine instead of a apint palette
OH is she ever sandy!!! Our Ata is a very talented lady.
sometimes lol
I am going to a drawing class tomorrow (does that make me an artist) I doutb it
wine over half the keyboard does not bode well :)
I know - artist, scientist, marine biologist, radical unspeller.
yay for drawing clases! fun!
and don't forget who's granddaughter she is too ;)
is FM a radical untyper?
I aspire to be an artist
no I am just a rubbish typer in babbleland.
whose granddaughter is she ?
Yes, FM has always set the standards for untyping.
Einstein's!
She tried to keep it secret but I found out and felt that the wider babble public needed to know.
get outa town!! is she mitch's grandaughter?
*is staying well out of this!*
No! Grandpa Albert. He of the moustache and genius dripping from him.
No wonder she's so brilliant, you can't beat genes.
LOL mum used ot say "Is She the cat's mother"
I set the typing bar so low that everyone else shines compared to my keyboard exploits. Hey I am not that old!!!
Haz, methinks you speak with forked tongue! Not Einsteins relative surely
BRB coffee time.
Mitch, u must be fairly old or you wouldn't have a toy boy
sandy, you don't mean that you're questioning this? Other babblers have accepted it gladly.
Speak up Ata!!
Ata is probably rolling on the floor with laughter.
and really not hard to belive compared to other babblers claims ...
I know Ata is brilliant of course, but I guess i am just a cynic
LOL Ata ROLF
I reckon being Einstein's granddaughter is the most logical explanation for Ata's brilliance.
Nicky is doing the dishes and staring at me........
I don't know how old Ata is Haz - she may be his daughter......
not thta old!!!
Okay, it may not be exactly true.... I may have used a bit of imagination. Ata is in her thirties.
I have to help her (Aussie women really know how to work hard) just ask lynxx
it should be true anywya
hmmmm Haz is in a jovial mood today I will be back later
Nobody else has questioned the dates before.
this is true ....
He didn't die until 1955 when he was 76. Could it not still be theoretically possible?
I was born i 74
Back again.
I see you have been rumbled Haz.
Yes, but what were your parents' dates of birth?
1945 for mum
dont actually know for father
There you go! It's entirely possible...
yay!
and Atas mustache does bear an amazing similarity ...
I will speak of your grandparentage with renewed vigour.
FM!!
*grin*
I think I''ll be the love child of Einstein and FM now
Yes, because FM is 'fairly old'.
If FM is 'fairly old' and I am older than FM, what does that make me?
old enough
I was ignoring that comment of sandys. Old indeed hmpf!
and me....!
hi all..*s*
very old LOL
Morning rolin.
right thats the last cherry ripe YOULL see...lol
You see? Over 50s need to get together.
Hello, rolin.
that was for FM :P
you of course, ro, are beautiful adn young
Crawler.
aaah...the power of the cherry ripe wins again...lol...
I am not over 50 just yet (well not for a couple of months anyway).
i have actually found turning 55 the hardest yet..
always LOL
It's all in the mind.
and the waistline
absolutely... and ive had no problem with the zero's so far...
I had a waistline in 1974.
oh ata...ive started going to the gym..and im losing weight too...and for some reason for the first time in 50 years i am developing a waistline...
(I'm trying to think back to the year of Ata's birth, I was doing O-levels)
after 50 what do i need one NOW for...where was it in the 70's when i wanted to wear high waisted trousers..lol
ooo go you!!!
you still have one now Haz, you looked lovely in those wedding pics. wtg rolin!
74..??... i was getting married...before i turned 19
I was 15 then.
I was a month ago in 1974 about now. awww!
actually, 25 days old!
And you had already mastered multiplication and long division.
easily
*sigh*.... ok... i best take this menopausal mind of mine back to work..ill catch you all later...
Bye rolin.
Bye rolin - and well done for getting your waistline back!
nice to see you Ro!
I was trying to work out when Bohemian Rhapsody first appeared - 1975 rather than 1974. Is it true that Freddy Mercury consulted you, Ata?
Hmmm think it is time to administer meds to Haz.
either me or Mum, she's just as brilliant
Is she really? Does she ever think of doing babble?
do we need to call the hme for the bewildered?
I'll be good. Honestly.
I've been trying to persuade her onto babble for years
Not the big pointy needle!
Might be an idea Ata.
But she might be shocked to discover that the secret of your grandparentage is out.
before she can escape to scotland
I'll be good. Really good. No more Einstein talk.
No, let her go to Scotland the gales may blow some sense into her :)
So, about the Tour. Poor Contador.
*yawn*
do we beleive that she even actually knows who Contador is?
Contador. Rides a bike. What else is to know?
I have no idea seeing as I don't know/care who he is.
and joy of joys there is 11 hours of golf on BBC2 today :(
what's a TARDIS?
Time and Relative Dimension in Space or something.
this is more amusing ...
thats quite impressive!
Watch out for all the NI golfers...
our girl is learning!
It's my only claim to Dr Who geekdom.
lets try a level 2 question ..
who is the Master?
(Google fingers poised)
Dr Who's enemy.
That will be the answer for Daleks, Cybermen and all other strange creatures.
do we give her that?
It's correct! He's his enemy!
No, I think it needs to be a bit more specific.
and his First Best Friend. ish.
Dr Who's oldest and most implacable enemy.
lol
Ok I'm back , kitchen is clean
Hello, sandyloo.
hi grandma
now could it be Haz that is Ata's grandma or mum
he was a time lord who went a bit loopy, was Dr's BFF before and enemy after. ish.
No, I'm far too stupid. I know practically nothing about anything.
Hi all
where does Mitch fit in?
Hi sandy.
Hello, Worquey.
hi worqu
I think Haz is mum
It could be you sandy seeing as you are um a tad older than all of us.
does that mean Mr Haz is my secret dad? Yay!
Ha! but I am only 20 in my mind
Obviously lol
I hadn't even met Mr Haz in 1974!
was Ata a love child?
When did you first meet him?
1976 - in Edinburgh.
Everything happens in Edinburgh, I must go visit it again.
hmmm So the romantic Edinburgh is responsible
Oh, and FM, you missed the news that he changed his phone yesterday and got an X box as a freeby. We haven't the slightest clue what to do with it!
No, he's responsible, Edinburgh can only take so much of the glory.
an x-box that seems a bit off the wall. Put it on ebay.
you can just play normal dvds on them
aaaw Haz , that sounds lovely
give it to daughter as an engagement presnt lol
We'll ask around and I'm sure we'll find a good home for it.
lol Ata
We've been winding her up that we're thrilled to bits and can't wait to play games on it. She thinks we've taken leave of our senses.
or hang onto it until you have a charity raffle or such.
WEll we know you have taken leave of them :)
That's a good idea, FM.
tell her you're going to buy Alan Wake an dplay that - that's the latest must-have game
I taught my son to read before he went to school by getting him to read instructions on those games
My daugher's first reading book consisted of one word. 'Look!'
It was repeated throughout with different pictures. 'Look!'
my first word was "apple" followed by "dumper truck". LOL.
We managed to be out the first time daughter 1 constructed a sentence. She had been saying individual words, but apparently, the night we were out, the babysitters thought they could hear a noise. L piped up 'I can't hear anything'.
not bad for a 12 year old ;)
She was 13. A late developer.
But we were still very proud.
of course
As much as it pains me I have to think about leaving babbleland soon.
awwwww
I will too. I share your pain.
I'll wait till Haz goes and then we can po4 together.
what do you mean Mitch, have you been banned from the computer
or do you have some cleaning to do?
I have work to do sandy believe it or not.
Okay, synchronised po4ing. On a count from 10 to 1. (I'll maybe not get time to babble tomorrow).
10
(FM you say 9)
9
Mitch, That is so sad
8
well it pays the bills sandy, what can I say? 7

Hi everyone.
firebirds!
Well done Ata!
and hi :)
How's the leg today
ok .... pup is cross though as she only had a short walk this morning!
Sulking is she? :-)
yep! I told her I'd take her into the garden in a sec so she can have another run round
which I should go and do, back soon!
bye for now
hello everyone! :)
Hi there Mrp!
hey sally!! good to see you!
Think we haven't been on at the same time recently. How are you keeping?
keeping well thanks! how are you? I haven't been on for a while, but happy to be back :)
Started to suffer from vertigo which is not good :-( but gives me a good reason to sit still for a bit and play babble :-)
vertigo! Oh my!!
how is that being treated??
Still having checks, but meanwhile a friend who has it for a neck-related problem (which I suspect mine is) has given me some exercises for neck. Started in the middle of the night with the room going round and round - very scary - and I hadn't even had a drink!
oh sweetie! I so hope you get it sorted!
is it a neurological issue too?
It's surprisingly unpleasant. Can't walk down a road without holding on.
(Not holding onto the road!)
oh man! I am so sorry sally!
Just don't know the cause yet mrp. We'll see.
Worse things at sea mrp.
clue for the 8 please?
I hope it all comes good for you darling... is awful that you are going thru this
8 is the plural of the pe 7/32
You're very sweet mrp - you have/have had enough of your own troubles.
dont have pe 7?
lynn, there are lords, and pe7's
The aristocracy are in their castles, the pe8/45 are toiling in the fields "-)
vertigo would be just nasty! I hope you get the right help... I am wishing you well
ty
the other 7? please?
Haven't got the other one yet lynn
okie ty
But I only have Ts left, so it must be a T.
ok ty
te7 - infamous babblet
ty ata
Dragonflies :-)
Reasonably OK for a small grid like this. Sometimes they are small and evil!
yay sally!
Will be off now, see you all tomorrow with luck. Hugs to Hobbit.
bye dear!
an 6/33?
an 5 20 with an extra vowel
ty
good morning, stopped in for just a sec and then back to bed!
hi m9... bed is just the right place tonight
watching the Catherine Tate Show... too funny!
she shows devotion to comedy... :) I love Brit comedy
mornin babblers!
morning all, missing an F, have the meals, and the actions
NM
Hi all. Got the bottom 2 rows grayed already.
well done wht
te6and 7 are defeating me!
Wow, tiny grid today!
te + vowel + pots & ****
open opens
hmmm, enter key wouldn't hurt either
so that's my very clever clue for the o's
Thank you so much!
I think I got that-thanks!
lol, Shdy! and hello, all
great clues
any time **face a fiery red
Hi NB!
Hello, Sea! How are you? :)
hi everyone, so much for lurking, huh?
peet
oops
dear lord, am i contagious?
am going to PB with shdy
mine was a dud though lol
haha! I see I'm in the grid today...po4/8 ;)
now i'm scared to try! maybe i'll have to get some work done after all
*hustles into chog to nuggle with NB*
*pondering over 'nuggle'* ;) mornin', Eva!
lol.... typing skills apparently still asleep. that was intended to be "snuggle"
take what you can get, nb, ask questions later! lol
I met a lovely spanish man this morning. wouldn't mind nuggling with him ;) depending on what it means, of course...
LOL, Shdy!
how go the wedding plans, Eva? :)
good afternoon all! Confess please, who shrunk my babble?
hiya sprite, i didn't do it!
hey shdy :)
hi, Sprite :)
worked on registry #2 last night. hopefully heading out to do #3. dear fiance wants to throw a #4 in there, but i think 3 is plenty.
not I said the cat!
*checks off 2 possible suspects from list*
**rewinding last night's top chef for the third time, looking for ADD pills....
hey Nancy Boy! How was your birthday and did you see my icon and writeup and tell my about your lovely Spaniard!
Maybe if you wash the grid in cold water and hang it on the line to dry it will stretch out.
oh, it was great thanks, Sprite! I popped in to see all the icons...very good ;) I sprained my ankle at the end though. Fell off a table!
LOL Wht!
lol wht, good idea!
Eva is the main suspect for shrinking things ...
it will smell all fresh and clean, too!
glad you had a good time, Nancy Boy :) *huggggs* How's the ankle now? (remember not to dance on tables when drunk, giggle)
hey Ata, how was physio? What was the verdict on the painful knee?
*dons "Ata did it" shirt*
a shrunk one or not??
Hey, shdy, are you making a comment about the pe8?
ok ... back wearing the brace for a bit, it's just so much less effort when knee is hurting a bit
not sure yet, wht, looking.. lol
very good idea, Ata. It will help you remember to not overstretch etc too. Glad all is ok.
shrunken. bu then i wet it and hung is to stretch out whilst it dried. i did it with my dress, the shirt, AND the grid. *muah hah hah hah!!!*
all is ok ... I just keep forgetting that exercise is not my normal idea of exercise!
see? SEE! Eva admits it!!
good advice, Sprite ;) and as for the Spanish man...guapo ;)
*points at "Ata did it" shirt*
lollllll no dear. Exercise with a blessure/injury is doing a percentage of what a healthy person would be able to do.... the NORMAL things.
the bad thing about small grids - way more phantoms
doesn't say what Ata di though *smug* . You just admitted to shrinking the grid! :P
you go and enjoy life and the Spanish wet dream, Nancy Boy, but take care of yourself :)
blessure is French, dear :P
it. you did IT. it, and everything that it encompasses. all of IT.
this is a special tiny grid. It is only 3 x 5 tiles big.
but more than 3x5 are used :)
no! that's FM's fault!
thanks Ata :) Will I ever learn???
its FMs fault that you did it.
ok, we'll just blame FM. Even though you admitted it
its FMs fault that i admitted it.
that's true
no way that this grid has 7s and an 8
shall do, Sprite ;) actually, I'd better get ready to go see him now. Everything takes longer on crutches! Later all
EVERYTHING, nb? ;)
enjoy, Nancy Boy! And remember, some things are even better when they take longer.
well admittedly there's some things I haven't tried with them, yet. Like driving or swimming. Of course, that's exactly what you meant.
Suddenly I'm blushing.
yes. of course...hehe
yep, drive slowly and handle the clutch with care... I mean the crotch... I mean the crutch!
I always handle the crotch with care ;) ...alright, I'm DEFINITELY going now :P
bye dearheart!
(((huggles NB)))
bye nb!
i am positive that poot is a word, enabler be d**%ed!
it means animal leg in dutch, shdy
see, i knew it!
you were right!
but if the rest of the grid is in dutch i think i'm in trouble!
hehehe no worries, it is in the usual enable mix...
**not much of a conversationalist when all must center on animal legs
and no, i won't argue that conversationalist is a word (is it?)
it works for me
i thought it conveyed the message, anyway
it conveyed 'conversationalist' quite convincingly.
thank goodness there aren't any c's in the grid!
i'm loopy today, the brother-in-law is here visiting, and it's like having 2 of the man to put up with! chaos.....
Good morning all
lol 2 for the price of 1, and you are complaining??
hi MrBob
hi mrb
not complaining, just loopy and grinning
hehehe :)
ok, one 7 and the 8 found... normal words...
i know the 8 is a pe (thx wht) but all i see are phantoms
the other 7 is a babblet
do you want a clue?
peanuts, pennants,.....
thanks Ata, got it
love that word!
farmers...
Hi Sprite, Ata, Shdybr8 etc.

What would you do if you won?
there is a small(64 acre) island for sale on the west coast(off of vancouver isle) and they want 800,000 for it,so ill start there
and our princess margetette cancer hosp would get a chunk
perfect in both thoughts.
the island has a 2 storey 12 room house,a generator,full communication facilty,wind turbine,2 boats,a dock,boat house and a small 2 person hovercraft
a helli landing pad(the helicopter does not come with the package) :(
Do you win a lump sum over there or is it spread over a period of time. Every country has different rules. so you can still babble? HAVe to get the basics sorted first :)
lump sum..in this case 11 million
IT sounds georgous crossy.

Hi, TO!
Heya TO
ohh that's good, prayers always
OMG another heat wave!
goooo owl
*turns fans in TO's direction*
My electric bill is going to be ugly this month...
this summer has been unbelievable
mine is ugly already
it's not nice to work in, for sure
gas * electric just came - $97
Hello Babblers
for a month??
Hi, River!
hi river
yes
wow wish I had your bill - my electric bill last month was just over $200 without the air
wow, that's good
i'm running at like 300 and change
Mine was $300 last month...
central air is so much more efficient if used correctly
I am sure mine will be over that this month as we have been running the air quite a bit with 90 degree days all month
the old window units cost more to run and were only cooling two bedrooms
just air conditioners here
we have one window unit to cool the entire downstairs. Do not have any air in bedrooms upstairs - we use fans at night
two a4 and one a5 left
and have a whole house fan but its too hot for that to work well even at night
an and s.. that again??
jellen, are you at the hospital?
an and ..y that again
No, we're home...came home last night...
treatment starting?
jell, father-in-law just had chemo session too
Treatment started yesterday...
is this his first round of chemo jellen?
Hi all. We're going to get screens for the double doors and a new screen door for the back entrance. We'll use what breeze there is for cooling--both hot days a year.
hi stid
Yes, he had interferon a little over a year ago...
whooohoo for new screens
one little a4 to go
any aa words?
Hi Joanne. Hi Jellen, my thoughts go out to you. Chemo can do wonders but it is a tough thing to go through.
Gooo TO...
little picnic pests??
No TO...
nope
good luck jellen - my best friend went through radiation and chemo (2 times) it was tough but it did the job - hang in there and have hope
no TO no aa words

hey Jellen! (((hugs))) how are you this evening?
Good! Tim is feeling okay today, and his bro is fixing dinner...
wonderful! must be nice to be close enough to his family that they can do things like that for you two.
glad tim is feeling okay today, seems he is having a really hard time of things right now.
Hi stid and {{jellen}}!
hey MPitt
my computer might dump on me, it's installing a new version of something. I'll be back soon if it does!
nice one today...only 5 left...this will help me gets my stats back up!
go MPitt go!
it could be a new firefox, mine did that today!
probably will do that today too then. I don't have firefox open yet.
*sigh* I know WHY there are updates, and a really appreciate not having to remember to grab them, but some days I long for floppy disks and manual installs!
Hi, MPitt!
stidkid #1 is practicing the trumpet part for Sound of Music (he has a job in the "pit" for the first time), and stidkid #2 is practicing for PoohBah in Mikado next to me. It's a very cacophanous musical evening!

Jellen so glad Tim is felling better today...praise the good ones!

Oops ..Sorry back again ..
Hemet?
pe7 = green veggies + picnic pest

thanks jell
yes...my mom and grandparents and uncles used to live there...my bro lived in San Diego (actually in Jamul and the woman he lived with lost everything in the Harris fire...visited it in March and nothing left except the little corral my bro built for the horses and flowers were blooming...life goes on I suppose that says)
She owned a business on 1st street called The Healing Point
te 6/21 pls
te + vowel + not pot, but similar
I need a P 5 and 6 please
Jamul got hit pretty badly .. I could see flames from my house, the Harris fire was like a giant arrow pointing right at my neighborhood.

Yay wildcat!
hi all, diving in
so many worry about the earthquakes but it's the fires and mudslides that happen more often in the hills...my whole family is from LA...when I was back there in March I was driving when that earthquake hit in Mexico and the car/road went side to side but it was nothing compared to the fires.
Still all in all...Southern California is like paradise right here on earth! Hard to argue with weather like that!
I grew up on the west coast Seattle and LA - I am totally in love and will never leave NC!! This is paradise! Been here 15 years!
NC is beautiful...but oh the humidity...! What part are you in?
North of Charlotte - right on Lake Norman
as 5?
yoga pose
Is the humidity bad? That's what makes me actually sick...I can't take it...gives me stomach cramps and a headache...too much living to do for that!
thanks feather!
np
Not too bad - I don't think - Vegas is so super dry hot that a little humidity is preferable for skin
Hi, Natasha and feather!
hi jellen!
monkeying here, 28 left
what was it 115 in Death Valley today - it was 96 here - the lake was 85 - but I love to float on the lake
I agree on vegas weather...it's a nice place to visit but couldn't live there at all...
brb...
I also love the thunder storms
and the CLEAN air
no creepy things in the lake?
not today - the other day a sunfish adopted us and followed us around
love clean air...used to live in north dakota now that's some clean air up there...
no alligators in NC?
not enough summer for me there - no no alligators this far north
6 years in Seattle killed me for cold and wet
yes seattle has never appealed to me as a place to live...don't like cold and wet...seems like they have more than 250 days of that per year...
actually about 200 - but anything more is just slush ha ha
bbl
we have a place in VA on Lake Anna and go there every week...love to float among the fishies...and a few turtles and other wiggly things
Good morning, everyone. It's a beautiful, cold but sunny winter's day here - best time of the year (in my opinion) here in Western Australia, but nobody agrees - family likes the heat! Anyway, I have some questions : What are the advantages of being"pro" and are there any previous babbles that I can play?
it is only open to us April-Oct...so we cruise and go across country the rest of the time
pro means you always have the tile stats, word stats and word total
and you get an icon
non-pro loses all that information after the 2 week trail period
you get a new babble puzzle every day and cool babble friends like us!
Ah, I see - I became pro straight away, so didn't notice the difference.
you can look at the old grids, in the archives, and do them on paper
Too lazy, feather!
lex, what flag is that? A state flag, perhaps?
Or province?
he6?
I think she said it was Bermuda's flag
wow, took the name of my state
fireworks!
Yes, it is - just looked at her profile.
hit a wall at 25 left, ugh.
Thanks for the info, folks - gotta go. Enjoy your day?night.
bye dofith
well I've got to run...be back later...poofy!

No, we're home...
thank you Riverdance and hugs to you and your boy!
oh, good!
Yay, skh!!!
((Jellen))
So glad you have managed to get in to Boston, River. *hopeful look*
YAY sk!
Hi stid and YAY skheiny
to list or not to list.
the Docs there jumped on it when they read the records - that is scary in itself - they wouldnt rearrange schedules unless they thought it was needed asap - I am thankful they did
is that a question weed?
that is the question.
they also think he will be back to playing his sports within 2 months - so fingers and toes crossed
awesome!
Just read yesterday Boston has a couple of the very top hospitals in the US ... good place to be, it seems, if you need it!!
awesome!

Hi, peri
Gotta go (hugs) all round...
hi and by Jellen
We had grilled tequila lime shrimp and corn on the cob for dinner tonight.
Interesting grid. Don't know if I like it or not yet though.
i like it. i'm just torturing myself with the last few by not listing. yet.
hi everyone
hi cathy!
question for all parents: when do you have to stop telling a 12-year-old to constantly pick up after themselves?
or...when do you GET to not have to tell them anymore, is more accurate. LOL
never
i did it to my mom forever. still do.
sorry!
its constant and rather frustrating...lol
sorry Cathy, they don't get it till they move out
bad weedy
Never is right! We resorted to bribery, and it worked. Some call it an allowance. It actually worked at that age.
different priorities!
my mom would throw out anything left on the floor.
That's how I learn about dumpster diving at an early age
i'm a bad housekeeper. i don't bug my boys enough about putting away their toys.
lol....tried the allowance thing...its "expected". took away the allowance so it could be re-earned...didn't work.
It worked because of iTunes and other assorted priorities. Never worked when I was 12 though!
try this. tell him you'll be glad to pick up after him, but you expect to be paid. out of his allowance.
i guess its more about picking up towels after a shower, or putting his dishes in the dishwasher...not really stuff i can throw away
good one feather
LOL...feather...I REALLY like that one!!! :) I will try it! haha!
heehee and bwah hah hah!!!
Awesome!!!!
love being evil mom!
(how Dr. Laura)
"i charge a quarter for every towel i pick up. 50 cents for dishes." it'll add up, and it gives him a choice.
good idea feather!
It's what I live for...the Evil Mom title.
it's a wonderful idea! :)
i've done it to daniel, with the change he's ammassed. it worked! plus, if he didn't do it, i wasn't as stressed, i just took the quarter.
not mine...i read it somewhere! forget where.
each thing i find he didn't do that he knows better will have a price! will give him back his allowance...and deduct from it for each thing he needs reminders for.
I used to have to pay my kids to clean each others' rooms for their allowance. In their own room they just got distracted and started playing again.
i no longer nagged/yelled. just stated what would happen.
but...what happens when it goes into the negative dollars?
consequences.. is the way to go..
oooo, i like that bugsaw! for when they're older.
I'd imagine they sit in their room with nothing to do...bored...crazy...
then he'll owe you work. yard work, etc.
(glad I am grown up)
now I pay people to do that.
Yes feather. I never paid my kids just for still alive for another week. They had chores to do and if they didn't do them, I didn't pay.
or if not yard work, 10 minutes of no computer, etc.
still being alive rather..
whew
yeah, i've started daniel on an allowance. his job is to help me with laundry, sorting, etc.
i like it! you all have great suggestions...and bugsaw...i like the "still alive"!!! HAHA!
Ruru, in so many ways, dogs are much easier to raise and train. They want to please you
yup.. that's why we never had children
My kids managed to grow up in spite of what I did! LOL
It just wouldn't look good to go around with a little tyke with a choke collar on
OK, now that the kids are settled, let me just say how much I HATE THIS GAME! Makes me cross-eyed and crazy.
LMAO tedybeth! lucky for them? ;)

in reverse order, picnic pest, jolly old elf SAN**, the singular of an 5/10, lady's name, and plural alternate form of name
Not so easy, is it? Stupid game...waaahhhh!
sorry for the non word, just got back from a visit to my mom, 7 hrs in the car today : ( plus work my eyes are crossing
wow ruru! that is a very BIG compliment!
he meant it too..
glad you're here beth. That's a lot of driving.
saw the small grid this morning and thought, ok, I can do this.... NOT!
mrs ru said he is full of ****
LOL lex! many of us make that mistake many times!
oh just smack me now. please. i missed the picnic pest.
No kidding...am about to throw in the towel...or go bonkers...can't decide!
bah. what would mrs. ru know? *hides from mrs ru*
mrs ru probably look just as good. You don't have kids. Ha ha ha
rofl... *waits for ruru to do the honors*
don't know enough of the obscure (at least to me) words yet...
sometimes it is the little grids that give you the most trouble
yup, she lives in upstate ny, i'm in nj. there was an accident on the thruway that added an hour plus to the trip
*smack*
It's the monkeytype words that get me.
how was that weed
thank you sir.
well I am just glad it was not YOU in the accident. and now you can relax a bit.
I am duly smacked
wow. Vanna white
vanna's dress today is really pretty. Not what I would wear, but suits her fine.
don't drink that
lol!
there is a wine called vanna white by the way
down to 9 left, I think the stats must be wrong annnnxf is not a word, and that is the only combination i have not tried
It's time for me to give it up for the day... spent some time boggling earlier... hope you finish, champ!
vanna blanc?
actually, I am not shaped right for most of the dresses she wears, but I can dream...
Oooh...worked a charity event with her years ago. She's lovely and sweet and just like you'd expect.
with enough surgery stid anyone can look like that
really? well I guess if you are famous enough they'll name anything after you. Like that english king with all the toilets named after him...
Lex...not going to finish. Too much wine with dinner. Don't drink and Babble I always say!
ok, i might need to list for these last ten.
naw weed
Let me count the ways....
you still have ten more feather???
yep
a glass of wine does still sound good
what sauvignon blancs do you have stid?
AHA! got the pe7/8 combo!
I should probably go read a bit. And then start the lesson plan for the pretend lesson for next Tuesday. *sigh* I am teaching a lesson on the poetics of rap with a (very) young classmate who wants to be a teacher someday. So he supplies the understanding of the genre and I supply the how to include standards and keep it real...
go feather go!
generic types, ruru. Hogue, I think. We buy a lot from that Vinyard because it's sort of local, and not too expensive.
oh.. well it's kinda hard to screw up Sauvignon Blanc
Hogue is pretty good.
I used to sell Hogue 20 years ago
missing a TA word. have 2 fours and one five.
*smile* I am glad a connoisseur thinks so... makes me feel a little better about my unschooled tastes!

btw feather, I have decided to not try to write ANY lesson plans for the student teaching in the fall -- I haven't met the students, don't really know the expectations at that school, and... without more data I won't know what sorts of lessons they need!

He's really down tonight...think I'll ask about antidepressants for him...
go feather go!
i'm glad he is home again jellen! :) hope he does well.
Go feather!
lol, well stid, i've relaxed a bit about being hard on myself if i DO screw up, if that's what you mean
mmm. chemo can be really hard on a person.
Feather, I'm not loving you at this moment!
good idea to ask about the antidepressants - or at least what can be done to help him get through this.
and the screw ups i do aren't the kind that would scar a kid, at least i hope!
LOLOL champ! wanna race? ;)
poor guy...i would probably feel quite depressed too :(
I will race you to the bowels of HELL! Of course, you'll win!
I suspect you are not going to scar anyone... :-D
*giggling*
and the same to you stid! relax.
ewwwww. bowels. and po 4/6 is in the grid.
valerian is a natural "feelgood" herbal med, i've heard...but he shouldn't have anything without consulting the doc of course. :(

he can barely talk! LOL
mother goose is what really gets me, pini
are there any states that aren't in a budget crunch? (just asking . . .)
4 foot nothin'

lol, thanks for the link!

Yes, on youtube...
there's nothing like a good laugh
how is te5 a word (proper noun) but the version of it that has to do with people isn't?
I'll look into it for ya
ty, pini
a deckhouse on a texas deck for the accommodation of officers.
Origin: 1855–60; after Texas, from the fact that the officers' accommodation was the most spacious on the Mississippi steamboats, on which cabins were named after states
imagine that!
I thought a deck house was a house of cards?
must mean my master bedroom is the texas of the house
so is there also a mississippi, an arkansas, a florida, so on, all not proper nouns?
Hi ruru
hi ru!
the kids' rooms must be delaware and rhode island! LOL
well, if the kids are good their rooms are Hawaii
* snicker *
sheesh, no matter how late i stay up, i still have to get up at 4. Any secrets for sleeping that don't involve pills?
warm milk?
ick, don't like it cold either
turning out the lights, closing the blinds, removing sound?
hot shower?
dark out, blinds closed, sound off, all i can hear is the air cleaner and the man lightly snoring
Fan sounds put me to sleep...
oh, and i can hear the big freezer running
turn computer off?
WHAAATTTT!!!! seriously?
sorry...just a suggestion!
i'm not sure i'd make it, lmao
hate to use those text words, but it seemed appropriate
Good, I'm not in a boat by myself then...I find it tough to turn off, too ;)
i'm honestly trying, i have to teach tomorrow, and can't do so until i write the lecture
best get writing then!!!
what do you teach?
can't i just show them the funny stuff and move on?
stats, stuff they don't like
business school?
no, regular school (whatever that means)
elementary, middle, high, college, uni?
uni, undergrads this summer
gotcha...
the man is asleep, the visiting bro-in-law is asleep, darn it!
why is it that UG don't seem to want to go to summer sessions, but yet when classes are not offered, they complain?
that is their nature, pini!
I know...we just cancelled one of courses do to under-enrollment...
* due
imagine their horror when they graduate, and a job wants them to work, oh wait, ALL YEAR????
not even all year...it's, "What? go to work from 8 - 5??? Are you serious?"
Oh, wait...I have profs that say the same thing! (i.e., "What? Come to campus?)
to finally reach adulthood, only to find that it means you don't get summer off and you have bills to pay, darn, darn, darn
no kidding!
well, i kinda feel the same way about going to campus, it's cold there, hehehe
M&D can't take care of ya, forever!
(even tho the kids think they should)
My space is warm!!!! I'm always there!
except when I'm at home, of course!
if i work from home, i control the temp. at lsu it's about 50 always
wish it was always 50F here...
donde es?
right now it's been so warm that the unit on the 3rd floor feels like they're in a suana and I'm comfortable on the first; but come winter, it's just the opposite...my office is above the boiler!
Oregon here
* sauna
way north, my little brother is in seattle for the summer, he's been loving it. He's at the coast guard academy, so out in ct most of the year
my uncle used to be coast guard, was up in Sea once upon a time...
little guy is at the place where they escort the subs out, seems to really be enjoying it
Bremerton?
I love the PNW...can't beat it anywhere (unless you go to Europe)
not quite sure, just know they posted him in seattle and they take subs out, he's not allowed to take any pics on base?
(out of all the places I've lived, it's my favorite)
Sounds like Bremerton or Everett, shdy...(I'm a former service brat)
i'm down in louisiana, because i'm a big baby about being cold
hey, we hit 90F today!!!
cold to me is below 80
80+ is too much for moi!
today we were 98, i think, but heat index much higher from the humidity. Everyone complains, but i love it!
I can't stand humidity! We've been having quite a bit of here :(
i know when i lived in colorado, if humidity was in double digits (i.e. 11) everyone could "feel" the air! All i could do was put on a whole bottle of lotion!
ewwwwwwww, I'm with them!!!!
i know, i' weird, but at least i live in the right place for it
t'was the same in Utah...but you didn't really feel it if you stood in the shade; still can't figure that out
the best thing about utah to me is the part of lake powell that's in it, beautiful place
(hey, lurkers, here to help clue, if needed)
I lived in the dessert so would know
hehehe, i tried to lurk this morning, failed miserably (it was a faulty enter key)
darn keyboards!!!
i typed op4 and op5 real quick, and, darnit, they posted
happens to the best of us!!! LOL
told everyone that was my clever clue
ROFL
what a dumba%$, huh?
nah...you just wanted to "help" early!
yeah, just wanted to make my presence known (while trying to lurk)
LOL
oh well, i got to see a few friends in the process
hey, whatever works, shdy...yeah, that's it... LOL
we do, what? what we have to do? what we can?
of course!
yep .
Watching Burn Notice...
(watching So You Think You Can Dance)
new one?
wondering if I should take my glasses with me to my eye doc appt in the a.m.
Yes, if you're asking about Burn Notice...
hey pini? i guarantee you i can't!
Yes, you should, pini :)

Hi all.

thx, jilli...
dance, yes, or no
hi jilli
Hi, jilli!
I'm not going to let them make the new lenses (if any), cuz they charge too much
<-- love to dance!
but they still get information from them
<-- hear dance music, can't stay still
I know, shdy...I was just kidding (kinda)
jilli...when we meet, I'll lead! LOL
pini, I'd connect on Yahoo but have forgotten how, duh.

<-- used to teach dance, too
ROFL!!!
full on disco
Ye gods!
jilli...I don't go there much (yet)
no disco, shdy!!!!
i agree, jilli
But it would pleae our friend there.
I used to teach West Coast Swing and 2-step
hi all
i am way too introverted to dance
Hello, jilli...
Oh, typos already! I've been half asleep all day, even after going for a seim to wake me up.
Hi, TNC
I can do that pointy thing that John Travolta did...but that's about all the 'disco' I know!
hi TNC
hi tea
Hi jellen :)
Hi TnC
a seim? does that work?
thankfully we're all fluent in typonese, jilli...didn't even notice!! LOL
hey, are we supposed to bring a suit with us to 'the gathering'?
i'll trade you, jilli, you can't wake up, i can't un-wake up
Lindy, two-step, waltz, Savoy, rhumba, cha cha, samba, etc etc -- loved them all.
oh, jilli...we'll definitely have to check out some dancing!! :)
you're still that awake, shdy? I've not bored you to sleep yet???? :)
suit? What on earth for? Oh -- you mean swimsuit? No idea!
sorry, pini, didn't even notice that you tried
well, it wouldn't have been intentional, shdy...
Pini, all that was years ago
that was a compliment, by the way, lol
jilli, I haven't done it in years either!!! we'll have to dust off cobwebs! LOL
thx shdy :)

ROFL

(cobwebs)
yep, spiders
oh, -- cobwebs, duh. I'm slooow on the uptake tonight.

i'll still trade ya jilli, your tiredness for my anti
So I imagine the next grid will be 500+
What's keeping you up, shdy?
oh, i hope not, have lots to do tomorrow
jilli, that's too many for moi!
just me, jilli, stink at falling asleep
For me too
(have stuff to do tmw and i'm sure they'll dialate my eyeballs so I won't be able to see straight!)
can't count sheep, shdy?
(and the eye-doc is before meeting my dau for lunch)
oy...why do I set appts in the wrong order?
sounds like a good reason to skip work all day!
how nice, to be meeting your dau for lunch.
she works in a doc's office...I wonder if they'll think I'm on drugs or something!?!?!
i would jilli, but my dogs scare them all away
(Can't stop Yawning!)
if you skip, shdy, then you don't have to worry about your lecture!
How many dogs, and what kind, shdy?
can't, it's summer school, very few classes
we're going shopping on saturday, too (with my gs in tow)
I wish I had a dau.
Thinking about going shopping tomorrow...
good point, shdy...guess we'll hope for a bit smaller
3 mutts, jilli, a little (50 lb) black one, a big furry brown one and a big stoopid one
groceries tmw night; haircut and other errands on saturday
little = 50lbs???
Whaen you say "shopping", do you mean fun shopping? My shopping is usually just boring grocery shopping and the like.
oh, i need a haircut so bad!
aww, big stoopid sounds so sweet.
it's relative, pini, the others are 90ish
me, too!!! my ears will be lowered on the 21st
what, huh?
jilli...a little of both...but the company makes even the tedious parts worth it ;)
haircut on the 21st, shdy...catch up now!
I am going to to buy a recliner for Tim
I think.
lowers your ears? i don't get it
will allow him to be comfortable up or down as desired, right, jellen?
Yes...
hello all
shdy...when someone gets a haircut, usually it means the length is shortened, thus "lowering" your ears (so to speak)
shdy, haircut lowers ears
hi m9
how's he doing this evening, jellen?
hair goes up; ears come down :)
hi m9 -- another nice uncross :)
Hi, m9

jellen, that's such a nice idea for Tim
What is the theme for tomorrow, btw? I'm having trouble accessing profiles...
shdy... just what do you do with numbers?
it's clue icon
shdy...dream about it, that ought to knock you out!!!! :)
Jellen, theme is a word from the grid - so we have to wait until we find one
i'm a statistician, so apparently i do whatever i want to with numbers!

Oh, duh! Forgot the day!
