Douge (pronounced dohg with a long o) was the native language hereabouts. Survives today only in place names

Di 6

12:25 am

we have a few place names that remain from pre-european days, some are being restored thanks to good recording from people who recorded what the elders remembered... but so many names and knowledge lost even though it has only been a couple hundred years here.

good morning all how many words today please

Hi Sandra and 327

Back soon I have to make toll house cookies for the wee

week

2:39 am

morning all :)

2:39 am

hi Sprite

2:40 am

hey lyn, hi lady. How are you doing?

2:41 am

Very well. Think Infernal is whipping up a batch of biscuits

2:42 am

ah! So that is what she said. Toll house cookies, lol. I learn something new in babble every day. Glad you are very well, lyn!

2:43 am

biscuits with chocolate bits in them from memory

2:44 am

You and the family are all well?

2:44 am

yes we are. School holidays now in Holland, nice and relaxed weeks ahead of us.

2:46 am

How long are these holidays? Terra will be pleased to have the kids around too I bet

2:46 am

normally they are 6 weeks. But now that they are both on high school, they have an extra week in which they only need to come and collect their books and roster.

2:47 am

Terra loves it. Lots of attention and lots of extra walks and outings.

2:47 am

do you even remember not having a dog now?

2:48 am

yes I do, and I can't imagine how I did without. Sometimes my love takes Terra for a trip or canoeing weekend and I hate it. The house is so empty without Terra!

2:50 am

now that we are talking holidays... how about the word re4tival for a feast of relaxation?

2:50 am

wow, lovely big grid today!

2:50 am

hello rubyfoo

2:51 am

hi and bye lynxx

2:54 am

hello sprite. Has your weather cooled off? This is our first cool mornign in weeks but they're predicting EXTREMELY hot for tomorrow!

3:14 am

you always do it, sprite, but it's rare for me

3:14 am

that is a double PB for you, lol

3:15 am

no I do not always do it, of course not. Some grids are tough and let you fight for them word by word.

3:15 am

oh no! sloppy ruby!!!

3:19 am

I want ravioli, all kinds of words ending in -tive and the -earn combination. It is phantom phest.

3:22 am

bye rubyfoo

3:26 am

hi ursh :)

HI again. Back from the kitchen

teas

opps

3:42 am

wb lady

I guess I do have cookie dough freezing I could go eat that. HOw are you all

3:43 am

am good, how about you?

Just finished making a double batch of Toll house cookies. I break each batch into 4 logs then freeze and cut up when needed.

3:44 am

I am well and celebrating 40 years of marriage today seriously need a noddy badge

Awwww.Ursh that is sweet

3:45 am

aw ursh that is beautiful! Congratulations and may you get to celebrate 50 too

3:45 am

Congrats Ursh - if they still made them I would send you one.

3:46 am

what is a noddy badge?

3:46 am

Oops guests here - must go

3:47 am

bye lyn, have a great evening

bye lynxx

3:47 am

it is a badge noddy (from children's books) hands out to others for brave or clever actions

3:48 am

woot! You certainly deserve one. A long and good marriage takes a lot of work and courage.

himselfis being so irritating playing stupid loud video games

3:49 am

but he is probably enjoying himself a lot :)

he is but arrr driving me nuts

3:50 am

hehehe :)

fish me for missing the Id words

3:51 am

*slaps lady around with a guppie*

thanks

3:52 am

and you missed them because you have been extremely busy.

I missed them because i didn't look up

I did find 230 odd words out of mybrain

3:53 am

wow lady, good job!

I am trying to find more and moe to build up my vocab

3:54 am

*hugs the lady* Even in your spare time you are still learning!

Sprite. I love word games. We had to do a basic there, they're their thing at school last week I did it then sat there waiting for ages

3:55 am

lol you are way too good for that level

The teacher did it due to the high grammatical errors on our papers. I am thinking spell check is not that hard. BUt then again the school system is about 2 or 3 years behind what we learnt

3:57 am

still some people would benefit from using spell check, even if it is 2 or 3 years out of date.

No not spell check being out of date. For example what I learned in grade 6 the school was recently teaching year 9 students

3:58 am

ouch! That is bad.

It is and it is sad. One of the girls asked what a herb was (that was similar to Time)

3:59 am

omg! *baffled*

YEar nine have English Grammar and learning stuff we learnt in year 6

brb

4:03 am

it seems here in holland things are going back to what I would call normal. There has been a period where people who graduated still could not spell. But my children have gotten all the rules in elementary school, thank god.

my parents taught me

4:10 am

I learned on elementary school, then had to do it all over again at high school because most of my classmates had not learned on their el school.

sigh

4:11 am

my father and grandfather were teaching Dutch at schools, so I already knew most of it... still know and it helps so much when learning other languages

I didn't learn much at school

O my friends dog dislocated her tail. poor baby

4:18 am

awwww how did she manage that? Must be so painful :(

No idea. The vet missed it the first time, probably due to her not wanting a faceful of sore dog

4:21 am

poor baby

She is a very sweet dog.

As my friend always say.Just when yuo thought it was safe to put away your wallet

4:22 am

lol yes

Might we add that said wallet has been ''decorated'' by one of her other dogs

4:23 am

hahahaha. We sent Caya a postcard from us all, and we let Te5 bite the corner. She loved it.

awwww

ding cookies done back in a min

4:24 am

waiiiiiit I wanna cookie too!

Awww Sprite I would love to share. One of my friends today told me I was so domesticated

4:28 am

you are a marvelous cook, I think. But I think you are still pretty wi4 :)

Well one of my friends is working 4 days straight. We had to go to her place and get some papers for her. She has 2 wild wombats on her property. They are so cute and sooooo fat

4:29 am

awww

That was a 3hour round trip at 1130pm last night

I dropped off food for her g.f and food for her at her work on Thursday since she was stuck on a 4 day shift.

Then one of the horses in the paddock gave me a heart attack by coming over and saying HI when we were leaving and I had to open the front gate.

4:31 am

I would call that being a great friend, not being domesticated, lol.

5:18 am

WTF how does this game work? I keep typing in words i see on this puzzle board but they aren't in the puzzle? makes no sense.

5:19 am

hi guys, jawa, the aim is to find all the words in the puzzle, in this there are 327

5:19 am

Have you consulted 'Help' above the chat log? It explains how the game is played.

5:20 am

Hi sandy n Haz

5:20 am

hi norma and haz

5:20 am

Lol apparently there are words that should be in the puzzle but arent. fucking retarded.

5:20 am

and herin if you are there

5:20 am

Words have to be four letters or more, they have to touch, you can go in any direction including diagonally, letters can only be used in a a word once.

5:21 am

the letters have to be adjoining

5:21 am

Enough of the language, Jaw.

5:21 am

Not acceptable in this log, perhaps you should find another word game that gives you more of a challenge.

5:23 am

have you had a nice weekend haz?

5:23 am

Fine so far, sandy - just waiting for my sister to arrive and trying to get a few more words.

5:24 am

we have had friends here for lunch today so I am exhausted, would have liked a smaller grid today tho , but c'est la vie

5:25 am

At least it seems to be fairly civilised.

5:25 am

area

5:25 am

whoops

5:25 am

sorry

5:25 am

Hello everybody.

5:25 am

Wow, Sandy. Maybe you should have higher aspirations!!!!

5:34 am

LOL that is high enough for me soods

5:34 am

feel like going to the list now , but I'm holding out

5:34 am

I never thought I would be a pace-maker in Babble. LOL

6:13 am

6:13 am

Hic. I have to go and do stuff. BBL - see you all soon. Poof

6:14 am

bye see you soon

6:57 am

sandy? are you still there?

6:57 am

I guess I missed soodle!

6:59 am

and everybody

7:00 am

back for a few minutes then back on my bike!

7:00 am

yes I am

7:00 am

I can hardly wait for the pyranees (cant spell it

7:00 am

the last couple of stages have not been very exciting

7:01 am

yay! did you see Mark Rencshaw's bad behavior?

7:01 am

they've started but are not there yet. About half way to the big mountain of the day, an HC, then a steep descent and then a steep climb to a 1.

7:01 am

LOL I did, but he said the other guy was pushing him against the rail and he had no choice- i think he should have had a warning and a fine , not ousted

7:02 am

I was happy to see Vino win the stage yesterday since Contador (BAD GUY) should have let him take the previous stage but didn't

7:03 am

ruby, I dont like vino but why are you so against Contador, I dont know much about him

7:03 am

that's what the announcer thought, too. He said nobody was hurt and they do things that are a lot worse in the peleton like throwing water bottles at 60 MPH!

7:04 am

well I did see Cadel actually throwing punches in the Giro d'Italia

7:04 am

I find him an arrogant jerk and he refuses to speak any French when almost all of the other riders at least try, even Vino. And with Vino, he was Lance's "enemy" but he served his 2 yrs suspension, has learned French and eaten enough humble pie to appear to be a nice guy.

7:04 am

I love all this stuff

7:04 am

no kidding! I've never watched the Giro

7:05 am

me, too, I'm having a wonderful time.

7:05 am

and it's in the only air-conditioned room in the house although today it's a little cooler, so I can watch in the living room

7:05 am

this is really my favorite thing

7:06 am

I think we should forgive him I guess, he is a good rider but often I think he rides for himself

7:06 am

I wonder about Andy Schleck as he looks sort of slack-jawed and dumb. I hope he winds but I think Contador is stronger.

7:07 am

First choice, for me, would be if Vino beats Contador! And that Lance should win one stage in the Pyrenees!!!!

7:07 am

wins*

7:07 am

I love Lance!

7:08 am

Do you realize that you are my only friend who is the least bit interested in all this?

7:08 am

*finally reached half*

7:09 am

It would be amusing if Vino won, that would make Contador really mad

7:09 am

I have no other either Ruby! My sister tries to take an interest but she knows nothing

7:09 am

yes, very funny. Last year, when Lance was on Astana, I think there was a lot of bad blood between him and Contador and, of course, Vino was still banned

7:10 am

I hate it when they reach half because then it is the countdown to the end

7:10 am

Did you notice how many ex-Astana guys are on Lance's team?

7:10 am

me too

7:10 am

I am going to google and see if I can find something out , I love googling about the tour

7:11 am

I love the Tour- I would love to be in France and have some Tour Parties

7:11 am

I haven't done that. Did you see my viper drama in the chog? I thought I had two vipers in my studio but they turned out to be legless lizards, "slow worms" and harmless. Not cute, but definitely not venomous and DH found them on Google, so we're sure.

7:11 am

get everyone to dress as their favourite tour rider LOL

7:12 am

nobody seems interested around here, even last year when it came around "our" lake and through the village more than 100 times!

7:12 am

I did catch that, we have a lot of poisonous snakes here so I sympathise with you

7:13 am

I really like reptiles, but not poisonous ones. And I was worried for the dogs because viper bites are lethal for animals

7:14 am

I don't think I'd look very good in bicycle shorts and a jersey! Helmet would be good, though

7:14 am

I have had friends whose horses have been killed by snakes and my brothers dog got killed by one

7:15 am

what kind of snakes?

7:15 am

I made that pavlova today as we had guests

7:15 am

around here we mainly get dugites and tiger snakes

7:16 am

I might do a curry this week and cook your recipes

7:16 am

I will ook them up later, writing down the names

7:17 am

that was look* not cook, lol

7:17 am

it's been too hot to cook here

7:17 am

they are deadly also we have one called the King Brown

7:18 am

8:41 am

gotta keep off the big macs

I had nuggets last night at about 2am

8:42 am

I have a secret vice - maccas breakfasts

8:42 am

I used to be like that, I'd go down the Night Owl at 2am in the morning

Sandy I was a fan of their special breaky they had for the games

8:42 am

love those egg and bacon mcmuffins and those hash browns

COlhad we had to go for a long drive at 11pm last night. The munchies hit at 2am.

8:43 am

every one is entitled to a few vices

O and wombats are too cute

8:43 am

herin, are you telling us something ? patter of little feet?

NO.

8:44 am

LOL wise lady

8:44 am

but.....midnite munchies....

I mean being driven around late at night makes me hungry. THis weekend has been very irregular in eating

I really have a thing for fries and nuggets late at night no I wasn't under the influence of any substance

8:45 am

Midnight munchies says something else to me ;)

Hi NB. Not that sort of munchies last night. Just a need to eat random crap. I would love to have had a chocolate milk but that is a no

How is your ankle?

8:46 am

now im thinking about those hash browns

O those things are evil Sandy. They are so so good

8:47 am

The ankle isn't too bad, thank you :) being a little slow to heal, because I have to work twelve-hour shifts on it, without my crutches. It'll get there though!

Hi NB

8:47 am

I like to take a bite of the hash brown, then a bite of the mcmuffin then a sip of coffee LOL

NB here is a tip. Shave your ankle and lower leg and put strapping on it

8:48 am

Hiya, Nono :) cute icon pic!

8:49 am

I have an ankle brace for it, don't worry ;) it'll be alright, just hope it heals up in time for my trip!

8:49 am

very cute nan,

Nono is that your little black kitty?

thanks NB it was really the coolest bird. It was totally unperterbed by humans

No Herin my icon is a bird

or do you mean in my flicker pics?

yes that is my Missy Shadow

does anyone know why lickety's must be refreshed each time one accesses it?

8:51 am

Oh, once a nesting mother settles down, the world better make way ;) at school, we had a bird that used to nest in the centre of a pathway every spring - totally oblivious to the teenagers swarming everywhere!

I dont have to refresh it TO

8:52 am

I don't have to either

I know NB this particular parking lot is a very busy one lots of cars and motorcycles all the time and she was right in the middle of a driving lane

I meant your Kitty she is pretty

No idea TO.

I discovered a new found respect for women pre disposable leg razors today

8:54 am

Morning everyone. TO, I have to "send words to clues" every time I close out of lickety and reopen it

8:54 am

it is so lovely to see when they hatch though! really so adorable.

HI Mom

8:54 am

8:56 am

{{TO}} morning

It seems every year I have a different kind of bird build a nest in it

8:56 am

{{Annie}} good morning

Was used in the 1940s as a way to shave without a razor

Not really Mom just a bad case of razor burn

9:04 am

put some cream on them then :)

Mom, one is present tense the other past tense

9:04 am

waxing is the best way. no pain no gain!

Have but feels better than shaving.

9:05 am

thankyou nan, i have them

Nancy I do that to my eyebrows. I just thought I would experiment

9:05 am

eyebrows are enough waxing for me, thank you.

9:05 am

got them, thanks Nono

9:05 am

eyebrow waxing is enough for me mom, I am not into pain

I have the best lady that does it and tinting when I do my eyelashes and eyebrows (once every 6mths)

I am blonde so there is really nothing there.

9:07 am

you tint your eyelashes and eyebrows? Hmmm, maybe I should get out more

9:07 am

ah I see

9:07 am

i have mine tinted too , that doesn't hurt

9:07 am

you could just get permanent eyebrows

i wish i had eyebrows to wax.

9:07 am

9:08 am

TO, do you have to draw yours on?

9:08 am

10:02 am

http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/07/09/ fruity-water-gate/

can't get them at the vet?

10:03 am

right, the vet told me they would be rady sat or sun and I went to the veet today and they could not find them. according to the computer the order was complete

10:05 am

gez can't type today, very annoyed

10:06 am

it is the same med she has been on before but she would take the pill, this is a trans dermal patch I can put in her ear

well you can wait or you can check another vet

10:07 am

I will wait, hopeufl it will be resolved today, they are open to 6 pm

10:07 am

this will definitely be my last cat

10:08 am

11:42 am

What was the reason for the vet peri?

11:42 am

meds are VERY expensive. We have had to put off pet care sometimes because of it.

11:44 am

11:46 am

Zoe-Anne is a 14 year old cat

11:46 am

119 left and tired of this grid

11:46 am

UTI's are common peri

11:46 am

I have even heard stories of some people losing their house for pets or taking out a 2nd mortgage for pets

11:46 am

I'll warn you now, it's spiiicy ;) I have spent so long trying to find a place that actually sells a decent brand of doenjang, which is a kind of soy paste...makes or breaks the dish.

11:46 am

thank you

11:46 am

yikes Min

11:47 am

save some for me NB, I will be right over

11:47 am

I like spicy

11:47 am

It does go on and on and on peri.

11:47 am

well, I like kimchee, but need a LOT of rice sometimes if it's really hot-spicy

11:47 am

and on.....

11:47 am

I treid kimchees recently and was disappointed

11:47 am

and on :)

11:48 am

I LOVE my cat but not about to go into much more debt

11:48 am

11:48 am

Does anyone have a clue for the last wi6/33 word yet

11:48 am

goint to eat some lunch bbs

11:48 am

goint to eat some lunch bbs

11:48 am

Well at least we had a decent size grid to tackle on a Sunday rather than a week day.

11:48 am

what I love in Korean food is all the small dishes -- tiny fish, etc.

11:48 am

what I really like are fermented bean sprouts and there's a little black been that is stil crunchy ... don't know what that one is called though.

11:48 am

its a plural minver

11:49 am

later peri. hope your cat feels better soon.

11:49 am

pl the wi5.20

11:49 am

how about wrapping the meds in anchovy paste?

11:50 am

oh. thanks for that Wi !

11:50 am

How are you stiddy, getting any time to yourself (apart from babble) ;)

11:50 am

yeah.. kind of a anti-biotic caesar salad

11:50 am

yup

11:50 am

lol ruru.

11:51 am

they always say "Just give this to your dog; he'll love it!" NOT

11:51 am

There is some great stuff, but some of the national dishes are actually pretty nasty. I looove what I have for tonight though, doenjang jjigae! Sans anchovies to make it vegan, of course.

11:51 am

not a lot FM, nightmares over student teaching coming up in about 5 weeks and vague nonspecific concerns of all kinds related to parenting. *sigh*

11:51 am

I know what you mean periwinkle. People who had to lose their house was because their dog needed many surgeries to remove cancer or something. Surgeries and the medication is what did them in. I would be so devastated if my dog died because I could not afford to take care of it. What some people will do for their pets. I think in this case dog ended up dying anyway.

11:51 am

and 10 mins later, you hear a little noise in the nexzt room where he's deposited the pill

11:51 am

awe (((stiddy)))

11:52 am

<----- would spend every last penny I have for my pets

11:52 am

Thank you for the wi 6/33 clue. I just found the word

11:52 am

11:52 am

11:52 am

see you later

11:52 am

*grin* ruby. our next door neighbour was the only one that could administer pills to our cat but even then we had to wrap him in a towel.

11:52 am

*punishes her monkeys for missing more plural words*

11:52 am

*poof*

11:53 am

calls peta on minver

11:53 am

later ruby!

11:53 am

wi 6-33 is when plants start to fade out

11:53 am

No, I bet it was a hoot.

11:54 am

12:20 pm

there's a manual for cats? *wonders if there is a manual for teens*

12:21 pm

How about a manual for hubbys who are a pain in the arse?

12:21 pm

There's a manual for coping with teens but it probably involves more heavy drinking than you're comfortable with ;)

12:22 pm

PB Min... *points sternly to PB*

12:22 pm

*sneaks in lovely choclit with raspberries to PB*

12:22 pm

oh Nancy Boy! *stern mama look* roflmao

12:23 pm

12:24 pm

hey bichon!

12:24 pm

12:26 pm

happy to see you as usual Min and ty

12:26 pm

Hi Rhondabe! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

I have 109! but of course spent much of the morning recovering frm a god-awful night shift.

12:26 pm

you are right..it is LA7 thanks

12:27 pm

I don't think there's an la 7 either

12:27 pm

there are li 7's, but alas I don't have any

12:28 pm

the li 7 is the most agile

12:28 pm

is there more than one li 7?

12:28 pm

ah, yes, one is a plural

12:28 pm

so sorry.... strike all this . I must be too tired 4 this right now.!!

12:28 pm

go red go... ((hugs for night shift))

12:28 pm

yes, there is another li 7/28

thanks Stid, night shift not fun lately.

12:29 pm

That one I got!!

12:29 pm

somehow

12:30 pm

I have only a la 6 that doesn't plural

12:30 pm

is it because it's summer time? are people doing stoopid things to make the night shift busier?

12:30 pm

Hello redturtlehead!How are you?Welcome to the grid

Yes, I had a committed patient escape then call the police to come bak, and in between that a poor lady and a housefire, i can not get the burn smell out of my nose..

12:31 pm

red, have you watched "Boston Med"? Lots of ER action and also it's partly at the hospital where River's son had his surgery, Children's Hospital

12:31 pm

gee whiz, red.

12:31 pm

I hear that, Red. Not that my job is anywhere near as stressful as I imagine yours to be, but sometimes at work I think I might be sleepwalking. It gets to two, three in the morning and I switch to autopilot mode!

I gottta admit Bichon, I never watch those shows. My old ED was on "Trauma Life in the ER" so I usually try to watch soomething less liek my job!

Yes, I sometimes think this particular charge nurse tends to dump stuff on me....

12:33 pm

medical shows make me nervous... except house. that one is just funny (peculiar and ha-ha)

12:33 pm

For the most part I stopped wathing medical shows around the time of Dr. Kildere [the remake] and Ben Casey.

I used to watch the old ER< but that was sort of like a night time soap opera!...

12:34 pm

Is the AC on in the PB?

12:34 pm

FINALLY found a word that needed the Z!

12:34 pm

oh oh, did I use a word? *checks chog*

I think its on full bast and the cabana boy can bring you a fluffy cold drink. or hot one if you want?

12:35 pm

Hello...

12:36 pm

hey jellen (((Hugs))) how are you doing today?

hello Jellen.

12:36 pm

Much better...relatives on the way home!

12:36 pm

I think the cabana boy thing is sexist.. and unbalanced.. if we have cabana boys for you girls and NB.. what about Cabana vixens for me and crossy

12:37 pm

Hello Jellen! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

Uh, ruru, We in the PB are your Vixens....you didn't notice?

12:37 pm

oh.....

12:38 pm

hadn't thought of that..

12:38 pm

Ruru's right...Tim would want females in the PB with certain, er, outstanding features...

Well, perhaps we can get a few ladies for you...

12:38 pm

I think that's fair enough, Ruru. The amount of times "leis" is featured in the grid, we should have the capacity for some flower garlands and coconut bras.

I don't think it's "ladies" he wants...

12:39 pm

<wants plumeria pasties

12:39 pm

lol, Sally

I think a coconut bra would be uncomfortable myself.

12:39 pm

coconut bras would be VERY uncomfortable for anyone bigger than a training bra...

12:40 pm

hard to palm too

12:40 pm

snap sally!

pasties with tassels?

12:40 pm

I had an acquaintance who wore a coconut bra to a party...she was VERY uncomfortable...

Looon time since I could fit a training bra :-)

12:40 pm

Personally, I prefer bird feathers.

12:41 pm

down to 86 and my eyes are getting tired. *sigh*

12:41 pm

Ruru...lookie no touchie!

12:41 pm

hello Judi!

12:41 pm

lol! C'mon, I know nothing of this world of female undergarments. Apart from being sneaked into ladies' changing rooms to help friends decide on ensembles...awwwkward.

12:41 pm

I think I should list.

12:41 pm

Ala Sally Rand, Judi?

Ruru would probably like girls with bacon bras.

12:41 pm

I think I might start...

12:41 pm

no.. that's crossy

12:42 pm

Indeed. (Hello, to all!). Or, we could go all Dorothy Lamour and wear sarongs.

Sorry, meant crossy. Very tired.

12:43 pm

I'm getting intimidated by all the lingerie getting thrown around. TIme for dinner I think. Later all...have fun!

12:43 pm

that wouldn't be kosher for me sally

12:43 pm

*giggle*

lol ruru

12:44 pm

Ruru wants to le 4/4 at the gals...

12:44 pm

sarongs seem better than coconuts -- and fit the cabana theme...

12:45 pm

Jilli's cabana boy was not wearing a sarong...

12:45 pm

A sarong is not lingerie. It's more of a mini dress.

12:45 pm

you don't have to wear sarongs if you have a cute butt

12:46 pm

I have 236 words and still have open tiles

12:46 pm

then I probably need two or 3 sarongs, ruru! LOL

12:46 pm

I have 241 and NBT. can I help you fill in the gaps ruru?

One for each buttock, stid?

12:47 pm

the i on the bottom... I need the stats

12:47 pm

If loving you's sarong, I don't wanna be right...

12:47 pm

rofl... pretty close sally!

12:47 pm

and the single e in the right corner

12:47 pm

*groan* oh judi!

12:47 pm

ROFL judi

12:47 pm

ir 6/18 ruru

12:47 pm

Hello Judi! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

12:48 pm

single E is EL 4/5 babblet

12:48 pm

;-))

12:48 pm

the ir 6 is imaginary btw

There is also the possibility of a Queen size sarong........

12:48 pm

*waits for ruru to get the E so I can throw prize Chinook at him*

12:48 pm

thank you for the e minver

12:49 pm

thank you for the ir stid

12:49 pm

Thanks, stid!

12:49 pm

I believe a Q size sarong is mu mu.

12:49 pm

go ruru! go jellen!

12:49 pm

I have seen queen sized sarongs in sf.. but not on women

12:49 pm

*reluctantly heads to muu muu section*

12:49 pm

ruru! *gasp*

12:50 pm

<<---- been around the block... stid

12:50 pm

12:50 pm

12:50 pm

HURSHY!!!! (((many hugs))) I miss you!

12:51 pm

Hang 10, Stiddy!!!!

12:51 pm

12:51 pm

Hurshy!

12:51 pm

good for him!

12:51 pm

I guess if Tiger won he would have said happy birthday trixie

A mumu sounds very comfortable on a day like today.....as long as there is a pina colada involved.

12:53 pm

nbt

12:53 pm

I wear kaftans as much as possible

12:53 pm

most comfortable

12:53 pm

like mu mu's but embroidered

Welcome backruby. Where do you buy your kaftans?

12:54 pm

here in the Tuesday market and in Morocco, if I can ever get back (doubtful :()

Long way to go shopping for me!

12:55 pm

they are the best! I even have a winter one (maybe it's a djellaba) in lovely plum-colored wool

12:55 pm

here it's not so far, but I don't feel like travelling any more. Last time we went, it was so scary that I hired a guide to go shopping

12:55 pm

ruru, did you see the BBC article about the world's oldest champagne?? very cool

Will have to look on line, if ever I finish this grid before falling asleep.

12:56 pm

Ruby, how are the lizards? Are you keeping them as pets?

12:57 pm

when you have time ruru, just thought of you when I read it.

12:58 pm

a couple-few times a year, why?

12:58 pm

do you need something from there? do you want to meet for coffee and book discussions?

12:58 pm

wait. ruby-lizards-pets???

12:58 pm

next time you go.. could you ask one of the people there about this norwegian mystery writer that they have his trilogy

12:58 pm

I need the name of the author to buy the books.

12:59 pm

they sell them there and they are suppossed to be great

12:59 pm

The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo?

12:59 pm

Steig Larrson?

12:59 pm

1:00 pm

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Stieg Larsson / Knopf Publishing Group

1:01 pm

Have you seen the movie? It's quite good...

1:01 pm

1:02 pm

and they have the UK edition if you want... LOL

1:02 pm

has anyone read it?

Amazon.com will sell a used copy for a good price

1:02 pm

I HAD A BIG DRAMA (AS USUAL, BLUSHING) Thursday 'til yesterday. I thought there were two vipers in my studio but they turned out to be Anguis Fragillis, "slow worms" or legless lizards. They are not venomous.

1:03 pm

<---hates snakes

1:03 pm

www.betterworldbooks.com has good prices and free shipping too, charity site

1:03 pm

and we found the nest under a rock, 4 eggs with live babies in them

1:03 pm

oh! that's good that they are not venomous! are they cute?

Oh ruby!! Saw the mention of lizards and wondered what it meant. rofl!!

1:03 pm

hey jessmom

1:03 pm

not as cute as other snakes -- no patterning, just shiny brown

1:03 pm

They are great books. I highly recommend them. The subtitled movie is really good as well. The second movie just came out but I haven't seen it yet.

1:03 pm

wow. eggs! that's a real find, ruby

They are very good for the garden. I hope you didn't kill the parents?

1:03 pm

hi stid

1:04 pm

Dragon is the first, I believe, ruru

1:04 pm

one was half dead already, but we killed the other one when we still thought it was a viper. Just because of the dogs.

Often find slow worms in compost bins, heaps.

1:04 pm

We have tons of other lizards, but these were very big, like 18"

Ooooh ruby! Very sad.

1:05 pm

the politically correct thing to say would be speed challenged worms

1:05 pm

I'm not afraid of snakes, but husband stepped up and overcame his terrible fear to protect our dogs.

What on earth made you think they were vipers? They aren't at all alike.

1:05 pm

but they look like snakes, very interesting

1:05 pm

ruby, have you heard more from river?

They wouldn't have hurt the dogs you know.

1:05 pm

LOL ruru!

1:06 pm

that's too bad ruby.

1:06 pm

their heads are pointy and there are only 2 kinds of snakes in this region, vipers (very common with a pointy head and the same size as these) and coulouvre (sp?) very big and non-venomous (not so common)

1:06 pm

do you have vipers in that part of france?

Would love to have slow worms in our garden. We only have grass snakes, and love to see them.

1:07 pm

Vipers would, though, their bite is lethal for dogs and other animals.

1:07 pm

Grass snakes are really pretty.

1:07 pm

Keith is going to be OK! The operation was a success and once they follow him for a couple of months, he should be good as new!!!!

1:07 pm

If you have a Kindle, I think I can send the Larsson books to you - or if you want to read them on the computer.

Keith?

1:08 pm

I like to hold books in my hand

1:08 pm

thank you though

1:08 pm

Ruby tried to get at one of these which is why husband killed it. He was afraid she'd get bitten. From what I've read (since) slow worms will bite if trapped

1:08 pm

river's son who had the heart surgery

1:08 pm

do they bite slowly?

1:09 pm

yeeees

Ah thank you. Knew son had had surgery, but not his name.

1:10 pm

I was surprised that they bite. Other lizards are very shy. Slow worms will shed their tails when caught, also.

1:10 pm

brb...

1:11 pm

we don't kill anything in the garden, have a little colony of very cute field mice, lizards, bees, bats (from a cave up above us), and we don't use insecticides

1:11 pm

yes! down to 80 and still listless.

Well you'll know another time to just release them into the garden.

1:12 pm

I also rescue bees if they get in the house

1:12 pm

yes, for sure. But I had heard so much about vipers, that I didn't look them up fast enough

How did you find out you were mistaken about the vipers?

1:12 pm

ah, the printer is working again! :-D

1:12 pm

I'm life president of the Slow Worm In Fatal Trouble Society. We call ourselves Swifts for short.

1:13 pm

lariet

1:13 pm

when we found the eggs and I remembered that vipers were viviparous. Then husband googled reptiles and amphibians of the alps and VOILA he found a photo of the exact creatures

Been working on that one in secret, have you Haz?

1:13 pm

hello haz!

Poor babies.

1:13 pm

I've had time...

1:14 pm

very funny, haz

1:14 pm

hey haz!

1:14 pm

sorry--at least it wasn't a word

1:14 pm

Hello!

1:14 pm

did it work Kateq?

1:14 pm

I used to have a very large spider just outside that I would feed flies

1:15 pm

I was hoping it was a word as I still need 148!

1:15 pm

nope--the l's are driving me mad

1:15 pm

it was an argiope and I named her Caliope

1:16 pm

that's funny ruby... we have house spiders that I protect fiercely while they are sitting on their egg sacs, then twice a year when it's not too cold we get all the cobwebs down. We don't have many problems with indoors insects.

1:16 pm

Greetings all!

1:16 pm

1:18 pm

1:18 pm

Yes, it was fine, just settling down again to finish this.

1:18 pm

LOL Haz!

1:19 pm

lol Haz I think he would be.

1:19 pm

He'd have cause to moan if he had motion sickness, I suppose.

1:19 pm

Thanks for the wh7 and wh6, Haz

1:19 pm

1:20 pm

Slow coach, ruby, slow coach.

1:42 pm

Hi, helensgirl

1:42 pm

Ruru probably is too young to remember antennas on the roof tops :) Hello everyone

They still have them on cars - old cars, no doubt!

1:42 pm

Hello, Mom!

1:43 pm

Oh, Mom, what are you looking for from ruru?

1:43 pm

thanks..

But they so often use th an7 word instead now.

1:43 pm

{{Jellen}} hello, are you refreshed from yesterday?

1:43 pm

I remember the ae's on the top of the TV -we used to call them rabbits ears....

1:44 pm

Much better, Mom!

1:44 pm

Hi Haz, oh nothing, nothing at all

1:44 pm

oh Soodle, I remember those

1:44 pm

so glad to hear that Jellen

Just got FIREWORKS - finally abandoned preconceived notions about the wi8!

1:44 pm

congrats Helensgirlkid

1:44 pm

Yay, helensgirl!!!

1:45 pm

BBL-watching a DVD with Tim and bro...

1:45 pm

bye bye Jellen

Believe it or not there are still people out there using rabbit ears - I found that out by hearing all about how to adjust the rabbit ears for the new digital signals (good luck, basically). They were a pain. There was one station we had to have someone stand next to the TV and touch (not hold, just touch) the top of one of them!

1:46 pm

geez, Helensgirlkid, I can believe it. I told my sweetie last night these new HD TV's remind me of the olden days ..... turn them on and wait for them to warm up

But from reports from my ex-husband, satellite dishes are just as bad, only you have to go up on the roof to wiggle them.

1:47 pm

That was back in the days when the youngest person in the house WAS the remote control. 'Go and change the station', 'Go and turn the volume up' etc....

1:47 pm

absolutely Soodle.

1:47 pm

lol Soodle!

1:47 pm

back then you could eat while watching tv, you got the exercise from changing the channels

Have you noticed, mom, - a glitch in the signal used to be a sort of wobble in the picture, maybe a little hiss or buzz in the sound; now the picture freezes and the sound doesn't come back for a second or two after the picture does.

1:48 pm

I remember our 1st remote conrol for the video and TV - it had a 15 foot lead on it.

1:48 pm

yes I have noticed that

1:48 pm

I WAS that remote control....

1:48 pm

wow, FMitch

1:48 pm

lol Soodle

lol FM

Oh, yes, and "go and twiddle the vertical control - no, no , too much, no , back again. Try the horizontal."

1:49 pm

oh and the video was betamax.

1:49 pm

ar 7 anyone?

Then colour came in, and after you got the picture to stand still on the screen, you could try to get it to be less green, or purple.

1:49 pm

ar 7 and departures at the airport Ruru

1:49 pm

opp of departure ruru

The ar7 of the Queen of Sheba

1:50 pm

ar7 - the opposite of departure.

ar 7 - when your flight finally lands

1:50 pm

OH jeez.. *smacks head*

1:50 pm

*lobs tuna in rurus direction*

1:50 pm

I remember watching B&W tv, through the coloured celophane paper of chocolates, thinking 'Wow' This is colour TV.

1:51 pm

LOL!

1:51 pm

The purple ones from Quality Street, and old Lucozade bottles!!

OK, who else saw that early 3D movie where the car on the roller coaster came right out and landed in your lap?

1:51 pm

The 1st TV prog I remember seeing in colour was 'Bewitched'

Or very old Coke bottles

1:52 pm

and as the credits started as a cartoon I thought it was great until Mum said it was bath time and the rest of the prog was real people. I was so disapointed.

1:52 pm

we didn't have a color tv until 1972, by then pretty much everything was color.

1:53 pm

I liked Bewitched

1:53 pm

until Dick Sargeant came on as Darrin

I remember going to a neighbour's to watch the coronation on a tiny TV in black and white. There were about 20 of us piled into their sitting room. First TV I ever saw.

Of course, for a couple of years we had a TV with NO picture - we used it as an alarm clock. Turned it on with the sound way up on the way to bed (we could sleep through the hiss easily) and the science class blasted us out of bed at 6 am. Then we had a baby, and didn't need an alarm clock any more.

rofl henensgirl!

1:54 pm

funny, helens!

1:54 pm

hello all

1:54 pm

Where I grew up, bath night was Saturday - whether you were dirty or not. Batman used to be on the TV, and after baths, all us kids used to tuck the towels down our collars, and charge up and down the road, going Dana dana dana etc...the batman theme tune!!

1:54 pm

lol Soodle

We watched the coronation standing on the street outside a furniture store downtown - with a couple of hundred other people, little kids on shoulders, much jostling for position, and much arguing about who was which - no sound, of course!

1:55 pm

Gage was just 'swimming' in the bathtub

Did you work out who was Queen?

1:55 pm

I had better scoot off here, I have a watermelon to cut up. Thanks for all the memories. {{Hugs}} to all of you

Bye bye FMitch

Important to be able to distinguish between the Queen and the Archbishop of Canterbury

Hello all!

1:56 pm

{{M9}}} hi and bye

bye mom

1:56 pm

esp as he has the taller headgear :)

1:56 pm

hi nonnie!

I expect Prince Philip knows the difference.

Watched the fireworks at the end of the show at the Stampede last night (from the roof) and saw they are using a lot of strong spotlights this year - anybody else remember all those war surplus anti-aircraft spotlights that showed up for big used car sales and opening new supermarkets all through the 1950s?

1:57 pm

Hi Nonnie and m9

I remember the spotlights, helen.

1:58 pm

hi FM

I guess as those wore out, the cost of new ones was way too high. I assume that the Stampede has discovered that new technology brought them back down.

We would "follow" the light to see what the event was.

1:58 pm

hi, babblers (helen, another calgarian!)

hello welki

1:59 pm

Hi Babblers ! Hope you all are having a nice Sunday..

hello aloy!

1:59 pm

Aloy!!!!!!!! Hello there :)

As a sales gimmick, they were good - drew people in as you say, and you could find the sale, or opening, or whatever, easily. Hi welki

1:59 pm

Hello, Aloy.

2:00 pm

hey aloy!

2:00 pm

thins

Hallo aloy

2:00 pm

oops

2:00 pm

i live in the southeast, helen, and work downtown

2:00 pm

er... points m9 to the PB

2:01 pm

not only that..it's a word I got last night....

2:01 pm

nice to "see" you all! Was going to "peek" at the flip, stayed up way too late.. but now that I have my kitchen chores done, it is Babble time!

I'm in Beidgeland - good place for watching fireworks without buying tickets.

2:01 pm

Hi to all who entered while I was playing "Family Feud"

2:01 pm

HAz, looks like you aer due more rain tomorrow - could yo chuck it my way? (just watching the forecast) and we are due to go tropical again :(

2:01 pm

there is a cabana boy in a seethrough sarong serving fluffy drinks there m9

Bridgeland - definitely not beige

2:01 pm

i'm struggling to get halfway

2:01 pm

yuck!

2:02 pm

I could do without the rain, we can negotiate, FM.

2:02 pm

<<<<<doesn't drink and not particularly into cabana boys....

2:02 pm

lol, ruru.. you are distracting me!

Well, for heaven's sake, ru, drag that poor caban boy out of there!

2:02 pm

not beige?

2:02 pm

now if my husband was home from work......

It's a real slog today.

2:02 pm

Anything you want Haz.

Mistyping of Bridgeland as Breidgeland!

2:02 pm

ruru, my cabana boys have a strict dress code.

He's wearing a dress?

2:03 pm

ohhh ... i didn't even notice the typo :)

2:03 pm

ru wears dresses?

2:03 pm

lol

2:03 pm

...not that there's anything wrong with that

2:03 pm

h'mm, a short sarong could be akin to a loin cloth?

I'd better go eat something - I'm getting light headed. Back later for clues, I hope

2:04 pm

ruru doesn't look good in high heels though - I had to stop him doing that.

2:04 pm

it's not hunger .. it's the imagery of ru in a sarong that's making you lightheaded

2:04 pm

heigh ho, it's hot as he** here...

2:04 pm

Sally-catlover I'd re 4/4ly like you to join me in the PB

2:05 pm

Hello, Dorens.

2:05 pm

Uh oh. Looks back in shog.

2:05 pm

2:05 pm

*takes pumps off * that FM..she doesnt' know fashion

2:05 pm

I think he fell of his platforms m9

2:05 pm

Hi Dorens.

2:06 pm

Great Dorens and how are you?

2:07 pm

my ac is protesting... it is working hard, but can't seem to cool house down below 79 right now. still, it's better than outside, even in the shade

2:07 pm

yay fireworks and on that note I must wish you all a good day or night. Happy Babbling and see you on the morrow.

Love your grandma quote, Nonnie

2:07 pm

yay FM!

2:07 pm

Bye, FM!

Bye FM

2:07 pm

... a gownless evening strap? (that's what my grandmother would say scantily clad women were wearing if they revealed too much skin)

2:07 pm

of course today was the day we cleaned out the garage - hard work and high heat don't go well together

2:07 pm

yay for FM, congrats! and bye till next time.. hagd (( ))

2:26 pm

2:27 pm

wow, what is the weight limit for a mini sunfish?

2:27 pm

2:36 pm

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying.

2:37 pm

that's ok. i'm frequently misunderstood in real life too

2:37 pm

Function? When was this, ruru?

2:37 pm

2:37 pm

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Goodbye Aloyisius! I will see you tomorrow in the chat

2:40 pm

hello! are we free of ophidiophobics?

2:40 pm

lol ata. you have me there.. i have to google that one

2:40 pm

I think so. Hello, Ata!

2:40 pm

snakes? who's scared of snakes?

2:40 pm

hello!!

Lol, Ata. I feel very sad about that.

2:41 pm

how is the glittery one? is she pleased to have another permanent admirer at home?

2:41 pm

what have i missed now?

2:41 pm

No,however, my sister's dog is named Minverva. I will tell you re4/4 name if you join come me in PB Dorens.

2:41 pm

Hi Atalante! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

2:41 pm

She is indeed. She's staring at her as we speak, in the manner of an adoring spaniel.

2:42 pm

awwwwwwwww

2:42 pm

no problemo, i'll come into the pb with you.. didn't know you were there though

2:42 pm

read back in the log, doren ;)

2:42 pm

I am not scared of snakes. I am scared of spider webs

2:42 pm

oh lord, how far back? it must be a long one with this many words and it being sunday and all

2:43 pm

3 days.

2:43 pm

oh...... yes indeed

2:43 pm

Haz can count the hours LOL

ruby thought there were two "vipers" in the house. Her husband killed one, then they found out it was a slow worm and found the nest with babies in.

2:44 pm

i still don't know what a slow worm is. guess i

2:44 pm

Nicely summed up, Sally.

2:44 pm

i'll go google that too

2:44 pm

Can you get slow glow worms? Or go slow worms (ones that are on strike?)

Slow worms are legless lizards and are brilliant for the garden. I have a feeling they are endangered in the UK, but not sure. We would /love/ to have them in our garden, but although we do have grass snakes we have never seen a slow worm.

2:45 pm

go slow glow worm

2:45 pm

yes. just read they are a protected species in the UK

2:45 pm

the german for glowworm is gluwurmchen

We do however have glow worms :-)

2:45 pm

and their biggest predators are house cats... no wonder i haven't seen any... with my two ferocious felines

I am NOT getting at ruby here but I do think it is a shame when things get killed through ignorance.

2:46 pm

I'm surprised the German word isn't longer. They haven't really put their backs into it at all.

2:46 pm

it is unfortunate

ruby, if you read this I am NOT getting at you.

2:47 pm

her husband killed them not ruby

2:47 pm

hah, true haz.. german words can get particularly unwieldy to the non german speakers

2:47 pm

there is an umlaut or two that I couldnt put on

2:47 pm

oh then it's ok. nobody likes her husband, least of all her

2:48 pm

where would you wear an umlat?

2:48 pm

A u with an umlaut is all that an exotic dancer needs.

2:48 pm

Hello, all.

2:48 pm

Vicuna! Hello!

2:49 pm

hi vi, how are you?

2:49 pm

VIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!IIIIII!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'd wear it wh5 you um

2:49 pm

(Two exclamation marks. You are privileged)

2:49 pm

Let's face it, I knew Ata would over-compensate.

2:49 pm

shudda had an umlat for breakfast

2:49 pm

How is everyone? I'm sorry I started this grid, but I'm committed now.

2:50 pm

once i went to the list it came very quickly... 5 evasive words left now

2:50 pm

Hello Vicuna! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

2:50 pm

Yeah, I think I'll list early on this one. I need to crank through it and get on to other stuff.

2:50 pm

I'm well, Vicuna.

2:51 pm

ruru's been finding it difficult. Not that I'm one to gossip, or anything.

2:51 pm

ooo christmas decorations!

2:51 pm

the 1st 2/3 of this one sped by

2:51 pm

yes some nasty words...

2:52 pm

I am grid-challenged

2:52 pm

there are always a couple of nasty words ru.. it wouldn't be babble without them

2:52 pm

lovely pic of half dome, ruru

2:52 pm

I'm just tickled to find my usual garb, along with the pearls.

2:53 pm

I'm at 2/3 now and at the point where I realize that there are still as many left as an entire grid, and these are only the ones I haven't seen easily.

2:53 pm

it is isn't it ata

2:53 pm

yes, it is

Well you are joint Queen, aren't you Haz? Fitting garb indeed.

2:53 pm

Absolutely.

2:53 pm

you just need a corgi

2:53 pm

Your usual garb, Haz? Tiara isn't there.

2:53 pm

joint queen?

a kilt.

2:54 pm

Imagining haz in jamaica

Chog ate the word "and"

2:54 pm

negril

2:54 pm

Daywear, Vi. The tiara goes on in the evening. tw7 - you have your very own version.

Would be too hot for this garb in Jamaica

2:54 pm

ahhh, excellent clue! lol

Do you have the sensible shoes as well Haz?

2:55 pm

can't believe an evasive word for me was what we did when the joint that went out

2:55 pm

The TOG will be glad to know they have featured today.

2:55 pm

is the bottom i word obvious?

2:55 pm

not really

2:56 pm

Sensible as can be, but I do change my hairstyle rather more often.

2:56 pm

ir 6

2:56 pm

ty ruru *looks*

2:56 pm

i'm convinced the ir6 is a myth

2:56 pm

the ir6 is an "un" word.

2:56 pm

I am not faking that ata

2:56 pm

think we had it recently... i intuitively went to that when looking for the bottom i

2:56 pm

LIke those vipers.

2:57 pm

A re4 word, but an un- word.

2:57 pm

aha! ty dc!

2:57 pm

*note to self.. to buy a snake book for ruby's husband*

2:57 pm

how do i download Babble Expert? I have it on my desktop but want it on my laptop.

2:57 pm

2:59 pm

Congratulations dspike on your fireworks! Way to go

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

The ar7/40 word is the opposite of departure Dorens

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

*hands fish to dorens*

3:00 pm

Wow, thanks for all these fabulous words!

3:18 pm

ir6 - but, oh wait, if I'm in PB I can't give kje any clues, can I?

3:18 pm

You're welcome (through gritted teeth and hurt looks)

3:20 pm

go enjoy yourself in the hot tub, haz... we won't tell hubby about the cabanna boy

3:20 pm

no enjoyment in the PB? PFFT ! What of the cabana boys?

3:20 pm

That's okay Haz1558!I have been cluin from the PB all day today.I was sent there early this morning by stid

3:20 pm

Hi, pugmama

3:21 pm

How can the cabana boys do anything but enjoy themselves with such luscious women as we to attend to?

3:21 pm

she is a newbie to the PB - rookie error pouting instead of reveling in sin

3:21 pm

hi jellen etal

3:21 pm

Hi pugmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

3:22 pm

OK, need a break... will be back after a nap

3:22 pm

Minver, how was the pool party?

3:22 pm

no word from haz, I think she found the hot tub

3:22 pm

Bye, kje. My time in PB is up, I don't believe in staying any longer than necessary.

3:23 pm

Looks like need to stay inside the Penalty Box since I just revealed another word; the se 4/4 word. Oops!

3:23 pm

Maybe she found the cupboard where FM was keeping George.

3:23 pm

Goodbye kje! Have a good nap. I will see you later on.

3:23 pm

*oops, I may have said too much*

3:23 pm

George is testifying in a court case.

3:23 pm

FM stole george?

3:24 pm

In her dreams.

3:24 pm

She was keeping him in a cupboard in the PB, in the certainty that Haz would never go in there.

3:24 pm

how many w8 or higher w words are there? I only have the wi8/75.

3:24 pm

also, hi all

3:25 pm

Hi, Minski

3:25 pm

The pool party was ok. I swam a little.I left the party early and hubby stayed til 3:00 in the morning I think

3:25 pm

Just the one w8 word, though a fair smattering of w7.

3:25 pm

Hello Minski! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

3:25 pm

That is the only one, I think, and I don't have it yet! :(

3:25 pm

I have all but 5 of the W words. any weird w words I probably wouldn't find?

3:26 pm

wi8/75 word is wi 4/9 word plus he 4/6 word cbr1965

Back.

3:26 pm

wi5/18 is wi plus double hook letters plus vowel Minski

evening all :-)

3:36 pm

only if you don't stock the pb with the leftovers

3:36 pm

As long as they're accompanied by milk, you are good!

No, DC. It's not bad. Certainly no worse than eating an entire tub of ice cream for supper.....

3:36 pm

Hi, Katie

Hello, Katie.

3:44 pm

baking question, if using powdered milk instead of fresh, i should add it to flour then mix in water?

3:44 pm

ok, 100 left, time for the list

3:45 pm

hm. muffins barely get mixed, so probably should mix it up first.

3:46 pm

make it into milk, then add it, I would think

3:46 pm

That ir 6/18 word is i plus the re 4/4 word periwinkle

3:46 pm

yeah, kinda what i decided, ty ata :)

3:48 pm

you needed to ask before Haz left :P She would have known for sure!

Stupendous, Sally!!!

3:49 pm

congrats, sally!

3:50 pm

Later, Minski...

3:50 pm

congrats sally

3:50 pm

googled about the milk. I'll mix it first, and add a touch more butter.

3:50 pm

makes sense

Curious. Why the dried milk? Is it just that you've run out of fresh?

3:51 pm

exactly, sally, no fresh nor buttermilk, but there is powdered.

3:51 pm

and i don't want to go out :)

3:51 pm

yay, sally!

Used to love buttermilk. Had it in Holland and got hooked. Haven't had that for ages.

3:52 pm

i normally use buttermilk in my baking, or add vinegar to fresh milk

3:52 pm

That reminds me...need to get powdered milk...dietician said to add to milkshakes for Tim

3:52 pm

that makes sense, dense calories and some protein

3:53 pm

wi 6/30, please?

Evening night afternoon babblers again, I am here to attempt to find 158 more words, and of course for chatting. How is everyone?

3:53 pm

it's cold in wi6/30

3:54 pm

hi, red, well thanks, you?

Cold season

3:54 pm

hi red

3:54 pm

Augh! Thank you, dc and Sally

3:54 pm

Hi, red

And plural

And here's a fish :-)

3:55 pm

I'm happy...Tim's family left today :-)

I'm alright, very tired, work was difficult last night, now got coffee and am planning a heart unhealhty dinner of eggs, as I also do not want to go out!

3:55 pm

yay, routine restored! :)

3:55 pm

it's hot enough here that the AC has not shut down for the last 3.5 hours

We are average Hot 91 degrees and some sort of humidity. I have the ac set at a conservative 78.

3:56 pm

exactly the same here, red :)

3:56 pm

wi 5/20, first? Is it a fish?

3:56 pm

same here

3:57 pm

drop a letter from wi6 on the vine

I think in Florida, though we expect it.

3:57 pm

it's normal for here, but doesn't mean we like it :)

3:57 pm

Thanks, have that one, dc...

3:58 pm

nm, got it!

Well, THis is preferable to the low temps we had this w***** which were rather unexpected.

3:58 pm

Must go and get some sleep. Night all and thanks for chat.

3:58 pm

3:58 pm

G'night, Sally

*Gone*

3:59 pm

stuck my head out the sliding door -- low humidity today, feels to be only in the low-mid 80% range

3:59 pm

thanks Jellen, didn't have that one

We are usually high in the am, in the 80-90 percent range and then it burns off and by afternoon we are down to the 60% mark, but its so hot...

Good Job Dc.

4:17 pm

and discovered new neighbors moving in diagonally opposite into number 201

Hope they are going to be nice.

DC what is thelatest on TOm's health if I can ask?

4:17 pm

right now, they're tired :) still carrying stuff up, apparently by the carful

4:18 pm

Tom -- relapse of the HOCUM, pain issues galore -- separate from the HOCUM, but otherwise well.

4:18 pm

hey, cool, Seain! We're getting new neighbours upstairs, really sweet couple, had them over for dinner today

4:18 pm

i think he has an appt in near future with cardiologist.

4:18 pm

nice, NB

Hope they can arrest the problem.

4:19 pm

Today, (for the first time) I entered the words into Lickety - how do I move them over or I need to print it and type them all into Babble? I guess I should have read the instructions first!

4:19 pm

me too. He's really down in the dumps with the 20 gradient, up from zero 6wks post-op

4:20 pm

new neighbors - sounds interesting

4:20 pm

hi NB

4:20 pm

buttons at the top, cbr, if you're using expert

4:20 pm

my brain is out of order today.... ei 6/21??

4:20 pm

if just using lickety, need to type them into babble

4:20 pm

Hi, NB

4:20 pm

ei6/or

4:20 pm

Hi, JBV and Jellen :)

4:21 pm

whatcha eatin' in the photo, NB?

4:21 pm

I don't even see an option for expert on Lickety so I guess I'm not one. I just see the bulk add/grab button.

4:22 pm

Looks like noodles to me, but anyone's guess ;) looks like I was enjoying it though...very focused!

4:22 pm

then you're using lickety. there is a link to email him for Expert, off to the right. PC only for Expert

4:22 pm

fireworks!

4:22 pm

thanks dc.. see what i mean?...... it was right there in front of me and i could not see it.. partial brain melt , i think

4:22 pm

Exactly, NB, nice photo

4:22 pm

congrats, jbv

congratulations JBV!

4:23 pm

crop the plate out and it looks like you're studying calculus, NB :)

4:23 pm

I already e-mailed him about the beta (just didn't know it was called expert). Thanks - guess my fingers will be tired!

4:23 pm

thanks, everyone - lots of help from Lickety and more words

4:23 pm

down to 59 now, getting there slowly but surely

4:23 pm

pneu is a weird word for tire :)

4:24 pm

not to the French... what made you think of that?

4:24 pm

(or tyre for you brits)

4:24 pm

Thanks, Seain :) and LOL, JBV - very little chance of that. I used to be good at maths at school, but since leaving I can just about do basic arithmetic!

4:25 pm

{{{{NB}}}}

4:25 pm

i was reading about Paris Métro, and they have trains of class matériel pneu and matériel fer

4:25 pm

Hey, Katie! How are you? :)

4:25 pm

hmm, leisure reading or are you translating something?

4:26 pm

leisure reading that started at a blog post about Line 1

4:26 pm

good thanks, you?

4:27 pm

Late congrats, JBV!

4:27 pm

thanks, Jellen - did you have a spa day yesterday?

4:28 pm

I'm not too bad, thank you :) just 'recovering' - long day!

4:28 pm

Yes, JBV...it was lovely!

4:28 pm

wonderful - you deserve it!

4:28 pm

oooh, glad you enjoyed, Jellen!

4:29 pm

gosh first run through and I still have 41 left, no chance of fireworks tonight

4:29 pm

you can do it, Katie -

4:31 pm

you can do it with list, katie!

4:31 pm

Pedi/mani and a massage...I highly recommend periodic visits to the day spa!

4:32 pm

Oh I wish, Jellen! Would love that..

4:32 pm

kablooie! whew! ty for the clues!

4:32 pm

I've been gardening today so aching all over (photos on facebook if people want to look) and am going to bed at a reasonable time

4:35 pm

Well welcome back, Quick :)

4:35 pm

Hi, Quick...welcome back!

4:35 pm

Hello Quick! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog

4:35 pm

oh, my, what a lot of TWs i nae hae

4:35 pm

ty DC

4:36 pm

howdy, quick, welcome back

4:36 pm

seain, that was weird, I was just looking at a satellite photo on google earth, when you gave that clue!

4:36 pm

thanks!

Oh whoo Hooo! We are getting a tax holiday for back to school! So I will be getting some new clothing. and also other "stuff"

4:36 pm

hi quick!

4:36 pm

very nice, red!

4:36 pm

happy days red :-)

last year they cancelled it, so this year, i plan to do s bit more shopping...

4:37 pm

I am exchanging photos and such with my new "pen pal" (email pal) in Italy - so we are looking up each other's houses on google earth - so amazing

4:37 pm

Wow, am I rusty!

4:37 pm

must go make meatloaf for dinner. bbl to chat and clue.

4:37 pm

ohh, fantastic, JBV! family ties, or an aid to learning the language?

4:38 pm

i keep being amazed by the technology we have - we actually had our first SKYPE video call - i still can't believe it!

4:38 pm

I just came back from 2nd walk with dog and it's just as hot as the first walk, if not hotter.When will it end

4:38 pm

Later, lbd

4:38 pm

Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you later in the chat log!

4:38 pm

it's my cousin, NB, and I am getting to meet his whole family, kids, grandkids, etc. - haven't seen him in 37 years

enjoy dinner!

4:38 pm

I feel the same way, Minveryork. I'm in TX

4:39 pm

hasta, dawg

4:39 pm

JBV, that's fantastic! I love hearing about this - so happy for you :)

Well Minver I expect it too cool off in October...

4:39 pm

thanks, NB, it's really exciting!

but for you probably September, as you are in NY!

4:40 pm

it cools off in Oct or early Nov around here.

Ahh, but I just looked out and thunderbumper is brewing so maybe we will get 2-3 degrees cooler...

4:41 pm

You're telling me it's exciting! Really good to hear it's moving forward, too; hope this is the start of something amazing!

4:41 pm

well, I'm not getting ahead of myself, NB, although his last email just invited me and my whole family to visit them!

4:42 pm

they live in one of the most beautiful places on earth - the foot of the Italian alps, near Torino

4:42 pm

very nice, jbv :)

I think you should make some visiting plans, jbv, it would be a real experience!

4:43 pm

one step at a time, red, but don't think I haven't already considered it

4:44 pm

Well take it at the pace that feels right, JBV, but know that my fingers are firmly crossed for you :)

4:44 pm

i'm so glad I'm retired, I have nothing but time to devote to reading and studying Italian right now

4:44 pm

thanks, NB, looks like we both have a big family event in the future

4:45 pm

Yeaaah, but I'm trying not to think about mine ;)

4:45 pm

ok, forget I said anything :)

4:46 pm

It's only because I'm so scared! Really excited, of course, and so glad I have this opportunity, but I'm terrified as well.

4:46 pm

understand completely

4:46 pm

NB, thinking on visiting family on Korea?

4:48 pm

clue for the first in5/20 please

4:48 pm

wow, ti6 was first made of shredded silver in Germany in 1610

4:48 pm

Well Seain, for my birthday, a lot of my friends grouped together and bought me a trip back to South Korea...so I can tell my family that I'm, like, alive.

4:48 pm

in5 - a smallish waterway

4:48 pm

So basically they bought me a can of worms and a tin opener ;)

4:48 pm

wow that is fantastic NB

4:48 pm

Wow, NB!

4:48 pm

ty dc, I'm having a thick night but am now down to 33 to go

4:48 pm

that was sweet of them, though, my what a mixed bag for you. *hugs*

4:49 pm

Yeah, they are great people :) thanks, Seain! But, I don't want to steal JBV's thunder :P and I am definitely not getting my hopes up, so...

4:49 pm

did the trip include a hotel for you?

4:50 pm

are you going alone NB?

4:51 pm

Well hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, I will be able to stay with family. If not, I'm pretty good at travelling on the cheap ;)

4:52 pm

:) may it pass well for you

4:52 pm

And yeah, JBV - couple of people offered to come with me, but not sure how fair it'd be to them. Whatever happens I'd be an emotional wreck, plus I'd have to be travelling quite a lot there - starting where most of my family is in Seoul, but going from there...

4:52 pm

i'm sure it will all work out, NB - your profile quote will see you through

4:53 pm

well, you can always log on and check in here for moral support

4:53 pm

indeed, as JBV said :)

4:54 pm

when are you planning to go NB?

4:54 pm

well, thank you both :) I'm very deliberately not hoping for too much though - I'm hoping a few of the cousins in my generation might understand, though.

4:54 pm

Erk, Katie. In about a month.

4:55 pm

good luck with it, I am sure it will be better than you think

4:56 pm

oh, NB, quasi-randomly, there are several Korean Chung Dae Churches around here. Do you know what that is? I know Christian, but where in the protestant spectrum?

4:56 pm

19 to go victory is in sight!!

4:56 pm

thanks :) I can't even describe how I feel about it, honestly!!

4:56 pm

go, go Katie, form of victory!

4:57 pm

Hm, not to sure about that, Seain! My family are Buddhist Koreans, so that's all I really have experience of...could try and find out when I'm there, though!

4:58 pm

er, too sure, that is.

4:58 pm

have to go cook - is it a coincidence I chose to make zuccini and spaghetti??? have fun everyone, see you later or tomorrow

4:58 pm

*zucchini, of course

4:59 pm

ah, it's type of Presbyterianism :)

4:59 pm

enjoy teh squasch and pasta :) jbov

4:59 pm

jbv

4:59 pm

and it's unique to North America -

5:01 pm

Probably wouldn't hurt for me to brush up on stuff like that ;) I'm already learning Korean like crazy.

5:02 pm

I live near Annandale, VA, which has more signage in Korean than in English in it.

5:03 pm

really, Seain? I didn't know there was such a Korean community near you! I was excited just to discover a Korean supermarket near me ;)

5:04 pm

could I please have a clue for the first la 5/10 - down to 11 now

5:05 pm

i have 4 korean supermarkets and 2 24hr restaurants w/in 30 min of here i'm sitting

5:05 pm

I don't have it, but go go Katie!

5:05 pm

la - add mr. onassis

5:05 pm

l + double first vowel + time to **se and shine

5:05 pm

howdy, river

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

hello dcs

5:06 pm

hi river

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

Hiya Katie

5:07 pm

(((HUGS))) to my boy NB

5:07 pm

Greetings Min

5:07 pm

sounds great! I miss eating a lot of Korean food; we had a lot of it at home....made some this evening and the flavours made me feel really nostalgic

5:07 pm

(((River))) :) thanks for those! how are you?

5:07 pm

Hello Riverdance!How are you doing? Welcome to grid

5:07 pm

Is there some secret to the lower right R? I can't find any of them! I thought I was getting them but then noticed they were assigned to a different R!

5:08 pm

well, if ever you can make it to the Washington, DC area, not only can we show you the town, but can take you to our Little Korea in the Suburbs

5:08 pm

must be cbr because I dont have any yet and only have 41 to go

5:08 pm

Morning everyone. I can 't cope with these newish US abbreviations. What is VA and what is the smallest state?

5:08 pm

That re 8/40 word is re plus an ar 6/18 word cbr1965

5:09 pm

VA is Virginia and Rhode Island (RI) is the smallest state

5:09 pm

Would love that - something tells me Little Korea would be easier to handle than the Big Korea ;)

5:09 pm

Hello lynxxx! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:09 pm

though Delaware (DE) is tiny, too.

5:09 pm

Hi, River and lynxxx

5:09 pm

I only have 37 to go and can't find them even specifically focused on them!

5:09 pm

LOL NB

5:09 pm

VA in some contexts is the US Veterans Administration

5:09 pm

ar7 clue please (down to 7)

5:09 pm

usually as the VA

5:09 pm

TY DC

5:10 pm

Hi Jellen

5:10 pm

Deleware is tiny,but it isn't the tiniest state dcseain.

5:10 pm

ar7 and departure

5:10 pm

coming into airport

5:10 pm

correct, as i noted :) i ack'd RI first, then a hat tip to our local tiny one

5:10 pm

thank you dc, I may never get the smell of fish off me lol

5:10 pm

Thanks Min!

5:10 pm

That ar 7/40 word is opposite of departure KatieMcG

5:10 pm

yw

5:11 pm

That re 7/28 word is re plus an ra 5/10 word cbr1965

5:12 pm

doing some stuff for work, Lyn?

5:12 pm

The re6/18 word is re plus ri 4/4 word and re 7/28 is that re 6/18 word plus a single hump letter cbr1965.

5:13 pm

and lynxx -- http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/abbr_ state.txt is a useful reference.

5:13 pm

No DC, just started again and was looking at the chat. The postal abbreviations are sometimes quite bewildering to non US people

5:14 pm

yes, and we forget that sometimes :">

5:14 pm

I have to look them up wh** they come up in chat

5:14 pm

I didn't even know Rhode Island was a State! doesn't sound like it should be

5:15 pm

for most states, abbrev is 1st and last letters, though there are exeptions like TX (Texas)

5:16 pm

the M states are also confusing

5:16 pm

Rhode Island, formally the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is a tiny state bought from the natives by people that left Massachusetts back when. It has some islands, largest of which is Block Island, but is mostly on the mainland

5:16 pm

5:17 pm

MA - massachusetts, MD- maryland, ME - maine, MI - michigan, MN - minnesota, MO - Missouri, MS - mississippi, MT - montana. they are confusing

5:17 pm

thanks Min - been looking forever

5:17 pm

5:18 pm

You are welcome & do not forget to remove the N to get another ei 6/21 word Riverdance..

5:18 pm

5:18 pm

Hiya, Ruru :)

5:18 pm

5:18 pm

5:19 pm

st 7/28: st plus listening organ plus not out KatieMcG

5:19 pm

Go KatieMcG go!

5:19 pm

hi NB

5:20 pm

No-one ever spells the States out anymore? it seems to be lacking in pride if you know what I mean and your State names are quite lovely - unlike ours

5:20 pm

ty dc & Min (2 left)

5:21 pm

we usually only spell them out the first time in an article, and most never spell them out informally.

5:21 pm

two-word states take 1st letter of each word

5:21 pm

Just spelling some of the states can be a challenge so it is easier to just use the state abbreviations lynxxx

5:22 pm

states...we only get counties, what a cheat!

5:22 pm

massachusetts and mississippi and illinois are hard for most to spell, for example

5:23 pm

I get confused with our counties NB just like you may with our states.

5:23 pm

UK>Nation>County. US>State>County/City/Parish/Borouh/Cen sus Area, depending where you are

5:23 pm

they parallel

5:23 pm

But aren't they lovely to look at - sure beats MS & MI & IS (if that is right)

5:23 pm

minveryork, if you think the states are bad, try remembering Saskatchewan

5:23 pm

evening all, btw

5:23 pm

saves time in addressing an emvelope though lynxxx

5:23 pm

I remember Saskatchewan but not how to spell it.

5:24 pm

fireworks :-) ty for all your help x

5:24 pm

what I love is listening to Americans try to pronounce it, hee hee

5:24 pm

isn't that Big foot?

5:24 pm

that's Sasquatch, ruru

5:24 pm

Congrats Katie!

5:24 pm

*giggle*

5:24 pm

For example, MA, how many s's and t's does it have & MI,how many i's&s's does it have and Arkansas why is there a silent s at the end of it? Why can't they all be easy four or five letter words like Ohio,Texas,&Utah.

5:24 pm

IL for illinois, and you have a point lyn. Our local paper usually spells the states out, mostly to avoid confusion between the VA and Virginia, though DC is referred to as the District.

5:25 pm

Yay, Katie!!!

5:25 pm

I guess you're right, Seain. Mine is boring though. London is in...Greater London. Someone got paid big bucks for that one!

5:25 pm

5:28 pm

5:28 pm

we have country, county then it can be a District, Borough or Unitary. If it is a unitary then you don't have a County. And some of the council's names make it impossible to know where they actually are

5:29 pm

5:31 pm

No, ruru, the gang's all gone...

5:31 pm

I have all the fishing ones, I think. They are coming off a different R.

5:32 pm

goodnight Katie

5:32 pm

lol Kje! Good point.

5:32 pm

maybe NB should move to Toomuchsex

5:32 pm

er7?

5:32 pm

Goodbye KatieMcG! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

5:33 pm

Considering I moved out of my boyfriend's place, I'd say I've just left Toomuchsex ;) but looking forward to returning there in the future. It's a beautiful place.

5:33 pm

add to make a mistake + earl fatha **** (then plural)

5:33 pm

from toomuchsex to lackanookie

5:34 pm

The two re 7/28s are still missing - I am probably missing the root words.

5:34 pm

LOL Welki!

5:34 pm

er 7/32: a medication that promotes or induces such discharge. Put definition in reverse dictionary and it is the seventh word on the list.The er8 is plural of er7

5:34 pm

earl fatha ? is that a canadian wrestler?

5:34 pm

Lackanookie sounds Indian -ish

5:35 pm

actually it's hawaiian

5:35 pm

lolol

5:36 pm

The re7/28 word ie re plus ra 5/10 word and other is that re 6/18 word plus a single hump letter cbr1965.

5:36 pm

5:36 pm

yw

5:36 pm

Ruru! lol

5:40 pm

Min, I am missing one ra 5/10 which must be that one. I got the re 7/28. Thanks!

5:41 pm

5:41 pm

Just listed. I am going to miss Lickety clue list with the new format. It makes these big ones so fast to finish

5:42 pm

agreed, lyn, even with the list w/in babble that's coming

5:42 pm

You can still open Lickety's in another window lynxxx

5:42 pm

what do you mean lynxxx

5:43 pm

If there IS a Lickety list.

5:43 pm

Hi all.

5:43 pm

babble is adding functionality that makes lickety's list obsolete

5:43 pm

but that is ony if Lickety maintains his list - not sure that he will Min

5:43 pm

ty min

Huh? New format? What happened!!!

5:43 pm

oh wierd

5:43 pm

Ru - I think you click on each letter individually to see a list

5:43 pm

Hi, jilli and Kaplan

5:43 pm

hi Jilli

5:44 pm

http://tinyurl.com/32hc2hd see there for what's coming for babble

5:44 pm

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

5:44 pm

hi, jilli and kaplan and kje

5:44 pm

that would make lickety obsolete

5:44 pm

I don't think you get a list, just a clue like ae6/18.

5:44 pm

hi, Jill :)

I will check it out, but change sucks.

5:44 pm

Hi everyone

5:44 pm

Lots of nice features coming however! like rotation - Yay!

5:44 pm

I love Expert and am not thrilled with the changes shown.

5:45 pm

Rotation, Lynx?

5:45 pm

clue list is clue list, no?

5:45 pm

What do you mean by rotation? Are you able to move the letters around with this new Babble version?

5:46 pm

yes, i'm excited at the ability to rotate the grid, too

5:46 pm

The grid will flip around NB - so the bottom left hand becomes the right top hand

5:46 pm

that list in new babble fills in words for the ones you find, as does lickety's

5:46 pm

ar 5 10 the 4th one please.

5:46 pm

Then wouldn't people be babbling with different grids?

5:46 pm

uno

5:46 pm

The great thing about Lickety's list is having the words fly into the right place. I don't see that happneing with the new style.

5:47 pm

Go kje go!

5:47 pm

done

5:47 pm

Congrats, kje!!!

5:47 pm

Maybe we can all beg&plead with Lickety to continue

5:47 pm

congrats, kje!

5:47 pm

min, the whole grid will rotate.

5:47 pm

Congratulations kje on your fireworks! Hooray for U!

5:48 pm

is lickety quitting????????

5:48 pm

are you referring to entry, jilli as in chat vs grid?

I like being able to flip it around, like in wordsplay. No, it's not different grids, it's just rotating it 45 degrees/

5:48 pm

So then the tile stats would have to change with grid

5:48 pm

Congrats kje!

5:48 pm

I will also miss the link to morewords in Expert's Resources, making alt-tab unnecessary.

5:48 pm

Hello mkg! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

5:49 pm

Maybe, min.

No, I don't think so- it's just changing perspective.

Can we adapt? Be brave, people!

5:49 pm

agreed, kaplan

5:49 pm

I am still hoping for sound effects w/fireworks in the new Babble version. Not sure if I'll like other features

5:50 pm

lol, Kap!

5:50 pm

good point about tile stats, they ought rotate too. I'll pose that question over there.

5:50 pm

we are all STRONG and can brave anything

5:50 pm

Hello Kaplan the Magne!How are you? Welcome to grid

I'm gonna tough it out.

5:50 pm

Did you all see that players can enter a clue and when someone asks for a clue for say as5.10 that the clue will come up? (if one has been entered)

Hi- I have had insomnia all weekend .

5:50 pm

oh, that'll be good, Lynx!

5:50 pm

If the new style takes away my enjoyment, it will be bye-bye Babble.

5:51 pm

as5.10

5:51 pm

minver, i've posed the question about the tile stats rotating with the grid to dr_god, on that video

I will not pass judgment till I walk a mile in my new babble.

5:52 pm

Okay, thanks dcseain. Didn't know you could do that.

5:52 pm

as5 is a fall flower here in the northeast

5:52 pm

thanx!

5:52 pm

Change is always something to get used to,so I think it will take awhile to get used to new Babble version.

5:52 pm

Hello PeggySue! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!

5:52 pm

maybe dr. god would take over for lickety...........

5:53 pm

did anyone clue the ar 5 10 fourth one?

in a rotation, DWTHR would be going down the right side. That's all. Same grid.

5:53 pm

dr. god is adding functionality that makes lickety obsolete, yes, mkg

You can get the same effect by standing on your head.

5:53 pm

An ar 5/10 is a plus double hook letters plus to be mkg

I am going to prepare to catch some zzzz's.

5:53 pm

5:54 pm

LOL Kaplan the Magne!

I'm quite the wit, aren't I. Good night and good babble.

5:54 pm

7:23 pm

If she was lying next to me on the bed I could do it but cats rarely cooperate

7:24 pm

OK dcs - let me look through my stuff at work and will send you what I have for translations companies - cant hurt to send in a resume

7:24 pm

it is not my house and she is peeing and pooping on the living room and dining room rugs

7:24 pm

no feather

7:24 pm

good point, and ty, river

7:25 pm

you get a towel, work fast, and try to wrap her up like a little burrito, with all sharp appendages safely tucked inside. it's not easy. but if you do get her immobilized, then you can try to do the gel. set her between your legs/knees to help hold her still so your hands are free. bring bandages. for you.

7:26 pm

towel method is your friend

7:26 pm

indeed

7:27 pm

I love my dog, I love my dog, I love my dog.......

8:04 pm

it's just a part of growing up, finding one's power and separation.

8:05 pm

I think all the stages are great. some are just more work.

8:05 pm

yep. but not a lot of fun... LOL

8:06 pm

When I ra 5/10d myself out of bed, I was determined to start babbling early&finish.But then I was wi 8/75 from the grid. I was he4/6 up with household chores and started the grid late. At le 5/10 the end is ne4/4 I can do a story filled with hi5/12. After 200 words I felt like such a di4/10. I was in such a di6/24 & I also felt like I was in di 4/5 straits & called for my th5/12 monkeys. Monkeys were a pain in the ar 4/4 though. Wh4/9 I yelled,"come hi 6/24!" they just remained id 4/5 and did not budge. It ir 4/4 me wh 4/9 they are obstinate and it makes me re 4/4 mad. It's ra 4/4 for them to cooperate with me. Had to drag them by the ea4/4.My monkeys were running around wi4/9 in the pool ar4/4 and didn't want to come. I told them they ei6/21 had to come help or I drain the pool & they go to th5/12 cages. Well, They started to wreak havoc upon th 5/12 ar 7/40. They got all ri 4/4 up over the va 4/7 number of words. Th 4/5 the te 5/10 started flowing and they became wh7/48 and wh5/20d about being too ti 4/4d. I wanted to kick all of them in the re4/4. I finally let monkeys go to the di 5/12 so they could eat dinner. They tw 5/18 around in excitement & sprinted off. I think if they had vi 4/7s they would have left the country.I want to hi4/5 new monkeys. Now hubby is being a he4/5. I can he4/5 him getting impatient waiting for the computer. The more hubby he5/12 my fingers typing,the more agitated he gets. Husband gets into a big sn4/4.We are ri5/16 when it comes to computer. I wish I could get another cheap laptop on sa4/4.Anyway,I will let him be a st7/28 and st 5/10 the computer. Now I'm going to te4/4 myself away from this and ri 4/4 out of this seat and watch My Name is Ea 4/4 wh 5/20 he is on Farmville.I will be back later on to enter the re4/4 of my words.I might save the la 4/4 word until right before the flip. Adios!

8:06 pm

wow Min!

8:07 pm

8:08 pm

I didn't have the babble butt

8:08 pm

8:08 pm

8:12 pm

okay, time for me to go back into the fray. back later to help clue if still needed. *micro-poof*

8:12 pm

You really think so, stid? I just opened this for the 1st time; I don't have the time for finishing

8:12 pm

Does anyone get a message when they sign on saying a script on this page might make computer run slow?

8:13 pm

8:13 pm

8:13 pm

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you later in the chat log

8:13 pm

I was going to ask you if I could come out of PB yet?

8:13 pm

DId the rest of you find the grid easy? (Stid is such an optimist sometimes! ;-)

8:14 pm

i did nef! 210 words, 35 minutes.

8:14 pm

It's easy to find a lot of the words, Nef, in my opinion.

8:14 pm

not bad, nef -- went to list with 60 words remaining

8:15 pm

okay, I'll dive in then! Thanks for the encouraging words!

8:15 pm

Did hit "continue".Now the end of word list is missing the re 4/4 of the w words I entered are missing&the number of words found and the points is also missing.

8:15 pm

oops, sorry

8:15 pm

nm!!

8:15 pm

Nef, you can join the re 4/4 of us in the Penalty Box.

8:15 pm

min, what browser do you use? i don't think i've ever had a problem with it since i switched to google chrome.

8:16 pm

OOPS! Sorry

8:16 pm

I have internet explorer, but I have always had that and this is first time I ever this has happened to me.

8:17 pm

hmm, not sure then.

8:17 pm

Even when I refresh the page, it refreshes the same.

8:17 pm

i have firefox and it's happened occasionally for quite a while

8:18 pm

it's happened to other Babblers as well

8:18 pm

Also I don't think that anyone has a movin icon today.

8:18 pm

yeah, i don't think that's the primary cause

8:19 pm

Yes, I have babbled on FireFox before and I hated it.

8:19 pm
