your welcome, westford!

12:23 am

oh my, don't think he really wants to be there, west

12:23 am

I kept hearing a hooting sound and I thought it was on TV but I turned it off and I can still hear it

oh no, better have someone come and see to it??

12:23 am

maybe a nest on top? do owls have nests?

yeah, they must do?

wondering if it's stuck in the chimney though?

12:24 am

12:24 am

it sounds contented

12:24 am

12:25 am

we'll be gone in a month flosey it's our summer home

12:26 am

they shut off our water so the pipes won't freeze

12:26 am

ah, but what a strange place for an owl to stay

12:26 am

it may be outside..I hope so

12:28 am

the neighbor had a truck outside her house today..big sign painted on the side..Steve The Chain Saw Guy

12:28 am

yes, you wouldn't want him to venture down too far

12:28 am

I hope he doesn't wear a hockey mask

12:29 am

there wasn't any cutting today but maybe the owl decided to find a new home?

12:29 am

lets hope

12:30 am

I had an owl visit me here - just outside the office window, stayed the whole day but never returned.

12:31 am

he didn't move, even when I went out to take a picture, just watched me

12:31 am

have never seen or heard one here but they keep doing lots of building so the poor creatures are losing their habitat

12:31 am

they are pretty amazing aren't they?

12:32 am

I just hope they don't eat cats lol

12:32 am

yes, and really lots of room for them around here - homes are not close at all.

12:32 am

I think they just eat mice or things around that size, don't they?

far as I know, yeah

12:33 am

we have those that's for sure

12:33 am

now I'm imagining a giant owl lol

12:34 am

we have them here too - cat tries to keep the population down though, bless his heart

12:34 am

does he bring them as gifts?

12:34 am

think only once he brought one in

12:35 am

we've seen them around outside though - headless!

12:35 am

Hmm -- don't know him/her

2:23 am

teasing you, george, sorry!

2:23 am

I know who Alice Munro is, though.

2:23 am

didn't mean to offend.... :(

2:24 am

love Alice Munro!!!

eh, all right?

2:24 am

hector hugh jilli you'd love him

you didn't! I just didn't understand and was confused cos I never asked for any!!

2:24 am

wonderful stories

2:24 am

I'll google him

was scratching my head and getting splinters!

2:24 am

his pen name is here

2:25 am

good one, george!

2:25 am

didn't Alice Munro write "far From Her"?

2:25 am

don't know

2:25 am

103 left for later today....nite all.

what's a good one, Jill?

2:25 am

and it's a word!

2:25 am

night peach

nite, gapeach

2:25 am

night peach!

2:25 am

good night peach

2:26 am

your splintery head-scratch

ah, yeah, well all that wood up there

well actually not wood -- more like flowers, ha!

2:27 am

I bought 5 lbs of russet potatoes yesterday and while I was taking them out of the bag came across a yucky rotten one should I bring it back to the store or just forget about it?

2:27 am

see you in a bit!

2:28 am

take it back! Yuk!

if it's the only rotten one and the rest are fine, I wouldn't worry about it, just toss it!

2:28 am

I hate when that happens, west, I guess you should just make sure the rest are dry!

but if any others don't look too good then yeah, go back to the shop and complain!

2:28 am

the rest are okay

2:28 am

it's just the principle of the thing

yeah, then I wouldn't worry

2:28 am

*poof*

it can happen that you get one that's off

2:29 am

bye ruby!

well yeah, but it happens--they didn't know, if it bothers you that much then take it back

2:29 am

prices keep going up and quality keeps going down

well then take it back and complain, perhaps they'll pay more attention!

2:29 am

are any of the K words normal?

eh, not really!

2:30 am

not a one jilli

2:30 am

we had a find the k words marathon earlier

although I found 4 of 'em on my own, cos some were familiar from doing word puzzles and playing word games on yahoo and that

2:30 am

oh joy.

I play Literati which is scrabble and the word racer game on there, had seen three of the words there!

2:31 am

yes, George was our cheering section

no, Jill, the four I found are easy, all 4 letter words!

and one of them you find almost all vertically down one column!

2:32 am

do you have the list jilli or do you need the stats?

2:32 am

ty george, got that -- I have 3 now.

2:32 am

West, I have the list, thanks.

2:33 am

ok

ka4x4, ka5, ka6, ke4x2

oh never mind then, sorry!

2:33 am

4 now

2:33 am

I'd love the 8 stats please

2:33 am

oops

2:34 am

PB for saying that, west!

2:34 am

off I go to the PB

your pro, westford, you can see the stats?

2:34 am

just sitting here with my hockey stick

in the nick with your hockey stick?

2:35 am

west means the Lickety stats

2:35 am

I don't like to go to the list right away

oh, yeah, well she can see those too, can't she??

2:35 am

makes the game last longer lol

yeah, well you've been at this a while, it's hardly right away, ha!

2:36 am

we all have our little idiosyncrasies

2:36 am

this one's going to last too long for me anyway.

2:37 am

( did I spell that correctly? )

na, not me, don't have a single one, ha, ha!!

eh, Jill?

2:37 am

Bye all -- off I go...*poof*

oh yeah, convenient that, so she doesn't have to answer, lol!!

2:38 am

good night jilli don't forget H H Munro when you get a chance

2:38 am

she never really goes lol

2:39 am

(I have a busy day coming up, not enough time to finish a big grid. Must get in the probable last swim of the season -- chilly weather predicted after tomorrow.)

2:39 am

poo on yoo, west, lol!

2:40 am

lol enjoy your swim I do hope you have more warm days though

2:40 am

Me too -- and *re-poof*

2:41 am

George are you going to take pity and tell me the stats for the 8's ?

West - re 8/65... dont have the other..

2:43 am

thanks Kramer

2:44 am

wouldn't you know it would be an re word

pa 8/45

2:45 am

got the re and ty big for the other

2:46 am

back, stewing too-ripe fruit

2:46 am

and have the pa too

2:46 am

do you mix the fruit ruby?

2:49 am

I had yucky peaches and reine claude plums. I don't really like fruit, but need some

2:49 am

Is yoghurt good or bad for digestion if I mix it with the fruit?

2:49 am

I bought some peaches yesterday and so far they are good

2:50 am

good I would think

2:50 am

we have white disc peaches here that are incredible but don't keep long!

2:51 am

unfortunately, I don't like raw fruit or very many vegetables. I don't eat much and then eat the wrong things!

2:51 am

we had a peach tree in CA and the branches almost touched the ground there were so many

2:51 am

I found something I like, Laben (fermented milk, a sort of drinkable yoghurt), but I don't know if it's good or bad for intestines

2:52 am

I always thought yogurt was good

2:52 am

we had a lovely little sanguine peach tree, but the 5th year, it gave its all and had 300 little red sweet peaches and then died! I think it is too cold here for peaches or apricots

2:52 am

oh what a shame

2:53 am

we have a fig tree which has fruit some years, but it's in the most sheltered spot of the garden, against a wall and facing south

2:53 am

even so, it loses its fruit about half the time

2:54 am

the birds must like it there

2:57 am

yes, we are very bird friendly - husband feeds them sunflower seeds 3X/day and we have the fishpond for water, no insecticides, lots of fruit just for them and, most important, no cats

2:58 am

that sounds idyllic

2:58 am

although a beautiful tiny cat came into the house the other day when we weren't home, walked past Ruby to get in, and was almost upstairs where Max sleeps when I found her

2:58 am

and the heron thught the fishpond was a special food bowl, set out for him

2:58 am

yes, the brindle

2:58 am

did you find out who she belongs to?

2:58 am

lol I remember the heron

2:59 am

you solved that problem didn't you?

2:59 am

she didn't come back, so I guess she's found her house. How did you remember? There is so much talk of animals on the chog!

2:59 am

with Saly's help

3:00 am

one of our granddaughters has a brindle two actually Evelyn and Annabelle

3:00 am

is granddaughter Annabelle and cat Evelyn? Or two cats?

3:00 am

two cats

3:01 am

she's Amanda

3:03 am

hey babble gals

3:04 am

hello gort!

3:04 am

hi gort

3:04 am

i need a recommendation pls...

3:04 am

for?

3:04 am

i've run out of funny/profound authors

3:05 am

jonathan safran foer and nicole kraus

3:05 am

done Erma Bombeck, James Thurber, Adrian Plass, Philip Yancy, Janet evanovich (bit gross but droll)

3:05 am

it takes a little while to get used to their post-modern styles, but if you can, their books are amazing

3:05 am

was just talking about one of my faves HH Munro

3:06 am

do they make you laugh?

3:06 am

for sort-of amusing, "Tout Sweet"

3:06 am

not really, some funny stuff, but maybe more crying....never mind

3:06 am

mostly

3:07 am

great short stories

3:07 am

ok so foer, kraus, munro, will look into them

3:07 am

anything else bill brysonesque?

3:08 am

foer and krauss might make you cry but it's worth it!

3:08 am

he was killed during WWI

3:08 am

i don't mind a weepfest, as long as it's not a despair-fest

3:08 am

Zadie Smith "White Teeth"

3:09 am

or short stories by her

3:09 am

Dave Barry is good too

3:09 am

ok writing them down...zadie...barry

3:10 am

thanks for those, i'll see if the local library stocks them

3:10 am

Chute, Merry Men (long, but worth it)

3:10 am

Unfortunately, I read a lot but don't write down the titles and then forget! getting old....

3:11 am

Lorrie Moore is brilliant, short stories and Top of the Stairs (or something like that). I loaned it to a nieghbor and didn't get it back.... :(

3:11 am

i'm an insomniac with a racing mind and need amusing (not frothy or sleezy) lit to distract myself enough to sleep!

3:11 am

don't you hate when that happens?

3:12 am

David Sedaris - makes me laugh 'til I cry

3:12 am

happens? what, I forgot lol

3:12 am

lol ruby

3:13 am

I read the New Yorker which is a sort of lifeline since I live in France

3:14 am

I don't think I know 58 words starting with p!

3:14 am

I used to just don't read that much anymore

3:14 am

oh no didn't see that

3:14 am

I'm way behind in my reading, would rather play babble and chat!

3:18 am

kiddies running amok, thanks for recommendations, toodle pip for now

3:18 am

since you mentioned p's haven't found a single one

3:18 am

bye gort happy reading

3:19 am

I have 30

3:19 am

bye gort

3:19 am

I have 27 p's, not much else (only 102 words!)

3:20 am

that's good you haven't been here that long

3:20 am

I have 100 left to find

3:20 am

139 but are you up really early or really late?

3:21 am

really late

3:21 am

didn't realize the time

3:21 am

no wonder I'm sleepy lol

3:21 am

if I stayed up late, I'd be totally useless the rest of the time -- not that I'm very useful now.....

3:22 am

I'm recovering from company

3:23 am

company is exhausting, especially when they talk!

3:24 am

lol it's fun but nice to get back to just the 2 of us

3:25 am

we have guests coming in September and October

3:25 am

will you have nice weather for them?

3:25 am

not for the whole months, thank God!

3:26 am

after this crazy summer, it's impossible to tell. It is really cold right now

3:26 am

when my son came in May, it rained every day, very unusual for here in May

3:26 am

usually May is perfect

3:27 am

I remember you said you have lovely Springs

3:27 am

we've had a lot of rain this month after drought in July. This is my 13th French summer and I still can't see a pattern

3:28 am

the garden is at its peak, usually, in April and May. This year it lasted into June

3:28 am

do you think it had anything to do with the Iceland volcano?

3:28 am

but the fruit is less sweet than usual - sun at the wrong times, I guess.

3:29 am

no, we are far enough south and east to have avoided that -- I think

3:29 am

we live in New England if you don't like the weather, wait a minute and it will change

3:29 am

Hi West & Ruby

3:29 am

I like the rain, but the house gets really dirty from the two dogs and husband who never wipes his feet

3:30 am

it's been pretty nice here in Maine

3:30 am

hello lynxxxx!

3:30 am

not too many insects?

3:30 am

hi lyn !

3:30 am

not too many it's cooler than most places

3:31 am

they've had to spray for mosquitos in MA triple e

3:31 am

we are lucky not to have mosquitoes as there are no screens

3:31 am

They are talking here about an expected locust plague, hasn't been one for about 30 years.

3:32 am

not good lyn

3:32 am

I think the birds, bats and fish eat them if there are any

3:32 am

wow, lynxx!

3:33 am

I don't know the difference between a locust and a cicada

3:33 am

it's unbelievable the damage they can do

3:33 am

I've never experienced that

3:33 am

probably because we have had some rain this winter they are expecting the crops to be good Spring/Summer

3:33 am

I've only seen it on film

3:34 am

we all learn from the movies!

3:35 am

does the govt have plans if there is an invasion lyn?

3:36 am

can anything be done? or you just stay indoors and pray!

3:36 am

Yes, that is where the warning comes from, they track the infant locusts and do strategic spraying (not blanket)

3:37 am

that is very interesting

3:37 am

I would be nervous about the spraying

3:38 am

what was brought in that ran amok..something to eat something else?

3:38 am

am I making any sense?

3:38 am

I think rabbits in Australia?

3:38 am

NBT, BTW

3:39 am

you always make sense, westford, even when you're sleepy!

3:39 am

seems like toads or maybe it was rabbits?

3:39 am

wtg lyn !!

3:39 am

thanks ruby you're too kind

3:39 am

Yes...cane toads. Similar problems many years ago with prickly pear. The rabbits were brought in for hunting - yeah right!

3:40 am

I've seen pix of cane toads, big and ungly, right?

3:41 am

very repulsive

3:41 am

did everybody get the dog disease? pa5/18?

3:41 am

TY

3:41 am

I did

3:41 am

are they poisonous to animals?

3:41 am

made me sad

3:42 am

I was so proud of myself....*blushing*

3:42 am

How is Maxs coat Ruby - back to normal?

3:42 am

Yes they are Ruby which is why they are a problem, they have no predators here

3:43 am

he looks much better than before, no big bare patches but still skinny toward the back end. Maybe it's a "boy" thing... Thanks for asking

3:43 am

no "toads' legs"? Bring in the French (or would that be like cane toads?)

3:44 am

too funny ruby

3:44 am

add enough garlic and butter.....

3:44 am

they eat everything lol

3:44 am

that's why we have no rabbits, squirrels or deer and we're way out in the country

3:45 am

and the women have fur coats with 100's of tiny skins!! eeew

3:45 am

ewww you wouldn't eat any part of the ugly creatures - and we are very very protective of our frogs here - not going to let any ' Frogs' near our frogs

3:45 am

best cooks though

3:45 am

not in this part! I miss American food

3:46 am

anything in particular?

3:47 am

marbled steak! sushi and other oriental food (not American, but available there), southern food, fresh seafood. -- the list goes on and on.

3:48 am

Mexican food, Cuban cuisine, did I mention steak???

3:48 am

beef is terrible here - lean and tough and tasteless

3:48 am

the only thing that's better is halal lamb

3:48 am

what a shame

3:49 am

maybe your guests can bring you some

3:49 am

the only really good restaurant around here is incredibly expensive; it's just for my birthday

3:50 am

they usually bring soap (Dial) and canned pumpkin for Thanksgiving

3:50 am

I wonder if Omaha Steaks would deliver

3:50 am

better here: butter, fresh fruit (when available), EGGS!

3:50 am

I used to get Omaha steaks in NY!

3:51 am

speaking of food, I have to go and make lunch

3:51 am

lovely to see you Westford and watch out for the locusts, Lynxx!

3:51 am

Vacuum packed steak - I am sure some-one must sell it online

3:51 am

*poof*

3:52 am

bye Ruby

3:52 am

bye ruby nice seeing you as well

3:52 am

I will look for that, lynxx, but it will probably be as expensive as that restaurant (see 3:49 chog, lol)

3:53 am

*real poof*

3:54 am

time for me to go too bye lyn take care

3:58 am

5:50 am

OK, name your FR cheese!

5:50 am

cheese is a great idea. I will bring toast and those little mini toasts etc

5:50 am

epoisses

Ruby I had the most yummy French Brie on Sunday night

5:51 am

something blue and smelly

5:51 am

thank you

5:51 am

I don't know that one, kje....I'll have to look for it. We're in reblochon and tomme country

5:51 am

I will eat those too

5:51 am

I love brie, especially with good pears and white Burgundy!

5:52 am

I had epoisses once at a restaurant in paris... suppose to be one of the more stinky french cheeses, so of course i had to try it.... delish

5:52 am

ruby, I'm drooling here

We had that Ruby I had Absinthe served with Sugar water (yes I did teh WTF are you doing)

5:52 am

lol ruby... pe4s?

5:53 am

absinthe! Lol lady, living dangerously.

5:53 am

I only had absinthe once, the real thing, years and years agon in Switzerland

5:53 am

whoops! getting ready for the party in the PB!

I love Absinthe. I was very upset it was done so badly

5:53 am

I'm no crazier than I was before I drank it!

5:55 am

a plate of bread, cheese, olives, fruit and wine sounds heavenly ruby... almost enough to hop a plane if i wouldn't lose my job

5:55 am

absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

5:55 am

I'll be waiting at Geneva airport!

5:55 am

I will bring the beer then.

5:55 am

hey lawyer :)

5:55 am

yes, lawyer and hello

5:56 am

hi, ruby

5:56 am

i really should do that, ruby... i have friends in geneva

5:56 am

half!!!!

5:56 am

hi, sprite

5:56 am

so NOT a beer drinker, sprite.... sorry

Hi Lawyer.

5:56 am

no problem, I will drink the beer :)

5:56 am

hi, herin

5:57 am

that's where our dentist is

5:57 am

deal

5:57 am

dark beer Sprite?

5:57 am

some of the dark ones, most of the light ones

I was horrified that I had been served absinthe with sugar woter

water even

lopw

5:58 am

yeah, that sounds awful

5:58 am

I think they used to burn a sugar cube on a toothpick in the top of the absinthe glass (learned from movies, lol)

It was it was like horrid green shtff

Ruby it is meant to be served in a glass then the slotted spoon then the cube of sugar then the iced water through the sugar

brb

6:00 am

we are a decadent bunch!

6:00 am

it finally stopped raining, so I'm off to pick fruit!

6:00 am

I would like to be decadent for once :)

6:00 am

*poof*

6:01 am

you're too young, Sprite, just wait a bit!

6:01 am

i would like to be shorter

6:02 am

too young? Oh please, if I ever become as old as I feel and look, I'll make the Guinness book of records.

6:02 am

shorter, kje?

6:02 am

yes, this height thing is limiting my male selection

6:03 am

hm I see. Ok, I'll gladly take 10 cm off you to be a bit longer myself.

6:04 am

which 10 cm would you like?

6:04 am

if I have free choice, I would like the middle part. My upper torso is too short.

6:05 am

good choice... the ankle has had damage and the brain is going

6:06 am

(((((kje))))) I like all your parts! Even the brain... especially the brain... and your sense of humour.

6:07 am

humOR sprite... don't go around spelling like those brits with the useless extra vowels ; )

6:09 am

lol... I try to stick to the british spelling, the way I learned at school. But with reading american books and chatting with american people I am fighting a hopeless battle!

6:10 am

hey..nothing wrong with brit spelling...lol....hello all :-)

6:10 am

we like the 'u'

6:10 am

hi zz

6:10 am

hello zz

6:10 am

hi zooz, very true! Just hard to remember the differences when you see a lot of american.

hey

Just cause you USA people were too prudish for the British. :P

6:11 am

fireflies :D

6:12 am

too prudish?

6:12 am

WTG Spritey

6:12 am

yayayay sprite!

Yep

6:12 am

more like to loose, herin

6:12 am

i have only jst started..so got a long way to go.

6:13 am

down to 86 here and should get back to studying

6:13 am

it is a pretty smooth grid. The P was a bit challenging though.

I can't think of the correct quote but it is from a comedian. YAh Sprite

6:13 am

anything I can clue before I go?

6:14 am

ok searchhing for the `p` fist then.

6:14 am

how many letters is the hard `p` sprite?.

6:15 am

errrrr the letter P was hard because it has 58 words

6:15 am

10:38 am

but it's pl

10:38 am

don't tell mr. Flo, but my squash plants were having trouble holding their fruit and it took me until last night to recognize it was probably a soil deficiency problem... related to the bag of calcium phosphate I had picked up to fix the known problems... *sigh*

10:39 am

thanks flosey! go it!

10:39 am

ah, won't breathe a word of it stid

10:40 am

and the bag of calcium had never been applied. *double sigh* SO... I put it on this morning and am watering it in now. *figners crossed* I would love to have a few fruit to show my students in a couple months!!!

10:40 am

the a = the 1st 4 letters are the same forwards or backwards, then the curvy letter

10:40 am

good luck then stid

10:40 am

good morning

10:41 am

morning Dorens, sweet little guy you have there

10:41 am

oh! and flo! I met with the mentor teacher yesterday and she liked the idea of doing a short story unit during October!!! AND we'll do a reading workshop once a week, too! AND... she says to ask questions of her any time AND that if there is a task I see her doing that I know how to do, or want to try, just to let her know!!! *bounce bounce* I think I will love being in her classroom, even if the commute will be a killer.

10:41 am

hey dorens

10:41 am

((((Doren)))) hey there!

10:41 am

thanks flosey. we do enjoy him

10:42 am

hi stid and bit... nice grid so far, yes?

10:42 am

sounding better all the time stid - you know you're going to love it

10:42 am

not too bad

10:42 am

so you are feeling less nervous then stid?

10:44 am

about teaching with her, yes. About the master's program itself... no. BUT. jmc has set it up for me to met with Les (the college president) socially, so for a few days I can be obsessing and anxieting about that instead. (jmc is so thoughtful)

10:44 am

LOL I am sure he's a nice man. I just don't know him yet.

10:45 am

don't know what you have to be anxious bout (about which to be anxious?).. your enthusiasm and brilliance are tangible

10:45 am

okay, off to pick blueberries... back tonight (or this afternoon if it's hot enough to merit downtime.

10:45 am

stid, what is the distance?

10:45 am

(((Doren))) you are so good for my ego!! LOL

10:45 am

enjoy your blueberry picking... i'm eating some as we speak

10:46 am

I made a blueberry pie day after we came home from the market with a flat

10:46 am

It's 1.5 hours on clear, good days, flo. On excellent days if I do more than the speed limit I can pare it closer to 1.25 hours. On other days... I have to allow two hours in the morning and then just hope there are no bottlenecks.

10:46 am

mmm. pie. that's what tom needs berries for, he is entering a pie contest! LOL *poof*

10:47 am

wow, it is a long drive, takes a big chunk of your day, but sounds worth it

10:48 am

im sure we will be taking some photos. crossing my fingers that i love it as much as i did when i bought it! or MORE!

12:52 pm

Oh no Becca, what's up? :( (I wonder if it'll do jittery, anxious, tense words to match my mood!)

12:52 pm

just take out the second vo5, Jac ;)

12:52 pm

jittery anxious and tense? anything you two need to get off your chests?

12:55 pm

Gosh jacq, that must have been so hard.

12:56 pm

12:57 pm

That's good to know. My friend has 3 yr old twins; I'm sure they'll help her get through.

12:58 pm

they do help fill the time, less time to dwell on what if's

12:58 pm

oops, I'd better get back to work - just today, tomorrow and Thursday, and then I'm off for ten days..

12:59 pm

Ha, 3 yr olds certainly fill the time!

Hmm, sorry, don't have that one.

1:31 pm

The ka5 and 6 sound like they are made up.

1:33 pm

scooby doo, ka5 ka6... makes perfect sense

1:45 pm

se

1:48 pm

Does anyone have a clue for either of the first two pa7s?

1:48 pm

I have the ones related to people released from jail.

1:51 pm

both relate to not being able to move, one is singular and the other plural sounds like a shortened version of these things ---> ( )

1:52 pm

hey all

1:52 pm

ty. Just monkeyed them. Nice to know what they mean.

1:53 pm

mind clueing me for the jail related pa7s?

1:53 pm

P's done. Only 41 left. All r's and s's

1:53 pm

pa6,21 is early release from prison.

1:54 pm

The 7's and 8 all relate to that.

1:55 pm

oy... how'd I miss those, I kept getting fixated on the word "pardon", but there's no d, thanks wht

1:55 pm

The pa5 just before lacks the last letter and is a kind of evidence used in court - one use is referring to evidence pertaining to the meaning of a contract.

The PB rule is that if you use a word from the grid in the chat, you go to the mythical Penalty Box, which is usually stocked with virtual food and drink.

3:10 pm

and what the heck is PB?

3:10 pm

I'm a newbie

pl of lo4/8

3:10 pm

lol

3:11 pm

great, thnx

3:11 pm

PB is shorthand for Penalty Box. Right now, it is stocked with lo4a-doone cookies.

3:11 pm

pb is the virtual place we get 'banished' to if we type a word in the grid here by mistake

3:11 pm

It is all meant in good fun.

I don't think I used one . . .

hi t - i am trying to write o someone's wall to no avail

5:37 pm

thanks, river, got it

5:37 pm

yes westford

5:37 pm

NB -- I know you can get through this no matter what.

5:38 pm

Is there a dialogue box? Sometimes people accidentally have their privacy settings so that you can't do it.

5:38 pm

ty Annie for the le 5 & 7

5:38 pm

NB - are you OK? stressing about your trip I am sure....

5:38 pm

youre welcome, bichon

not sure , does that appear in their profile? i thought i saw someone else writing on their wall

5:39 pm

a family went camping in NH or Maine ( not sure ) tree demolished their car and fell on tent with quadruplets in it her 3 sisters were fine tree fell on her and branch pierced her chest she's doing okay now

5:39 pm

Oh, that should make river feel good about camping!

5:39 pm

5:40 pm

sorry

5:40 pm

was a freak storm

5:40 pm

I'll go now

5:40 pm

see you all later

5:40 pm

wow - hadnt heard that - we have been through many bad storms in our tent - could happen in the house or driving in the car - making the best of it....

5:40 pm

don't go, west!!!

5:41 pm

westford - dont you leave - I'm fine - stuff like that doesnt scare me - if its my time, there is not a thing I could do about it......

5:41 pm

I have to maid's night out and dinner is on me lol

5:41 pm

TO, if you can write on their wall, there's a box at the top and you can write in it, like on your own profile. Somtimes there's nothing there, and no place to write, even though others had before. You can send them a message though, through the message icon, and they'll get it privately.

5:42 pm

wasn't trying to scare you truly I wasn't

5:42 pm

give me another clue about the month of june on that wo 7/44 - gawd I feel stupid....

champ, ty, when i go to her profile the wall tab does not appear

5:42 pm

its OK westford - takes a whole lot to scare me....

5:42 pm

I get the part about courting someone....

5:43 pm

Odd. Just happened to a friend of mine though. It was her birthday, and no one could write on her wall. She had 14 private messages when she logged on! And that way you can tell them you can't write on it...

5:43 pm

trent, the last 3 letters are Mr Onassis

5:43 pm

ooh sorry, just had to get a drink. I'm alright, River, thank you :) just freaking out a little, I suppose. Thanks, to you and Jill, and everyone else!

5:46 pm

Nothing could get me in good shape for this, Jill :P I don't think I'll ever be ready to do what I'm about to do. I'm surprised at how scared I am!

ka5 is an African wordlmspecifically South African. It decribes a high plateau but also an apricot sauce.

9:15 pm

darn -- was hoping it would be a plural for the 6

9:15 pm

If you put that sauce with chicken and drink it with 'Blossome Hill' fresh and fruity wine, you will be in heaven.

9:15 pm

ah -- alt, sp

9:16 pm

LOL, eat it with the wine, I meant to say.

9:16 pm

ka6 doubles the middle consonant, cybernan.

9:18 pm

MrP posted something very amusing on Facebook earlier... "Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.' They got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my wine. The little bastards."

9:19 pm

ROFLMAO!!!

OMG that is to funny

9:20 pm

i just typed in an ar4/8, and it came from the A in the second from last column...

9:29 pm

I think it's ar5/10

9:29 pm

Thank goodness for the tennis!!!

I am fasting again dawg... that time of the year!

9:36 pm

oh goodness, mrp. how're the bones doing?

9:37 pm

I don't do tennis, since I got overdoesed on it at my oldd high school when we produced a Wimbledon Champ. I also don't do fasting .

Am doing ok with the bones, walking fine now and arm is doing well thanks

9:38 pm

just stay away from the chickens or at least that plank!

9:38 pm

I am walking with only one crutch now, because walking with 2 is exhausting.

The worse thing about fasting is not having my glass of wine!!

what did you do jac?

those chickens have to come to me now! I don't go up there no more

9:39 pm

I accidentally threw myslef down the stairs backwards, MrP.

accidentally!! threw??? what the heck did you do?

9:40 pm

I slipped out of my slippers and damaged nerves, ligaments and tendons of my right foot/ankle/leg.

9:40 pm

hi everyone, i need help with the re 5/18, please. thanks

9:40 pm

I bet walking with two crutches is good exercise for your arms.I'd so hate to have to use crutches in the humidity that we've been experiencing this summer.

holy moly! that is a freaky accident!!

9:40 pm

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

9:41 pm

re 5/15= to mend again

9:41 pm

re 5/18 that is

9:41 pm

okay, minveryork. hope you are doing well also.

wishing you a speedy recovery jac, and stay out of slippers! (their namesake says it all)

9:41 pm

Evening all -- just popping in to say hi to some old friends 8-)

9:41 pm

thanks, sammysmom

9:42 pm

GW!! hello!!

9:42 pm

Walking with 2 crutches is bloody exhausting when you finally go outside and have to try to keep up with 2 6 fotters, when you are only just above 5 foot in height. They said they were walking more slowly. To me, they were walking faster than they'd ever done before.

9:42 pm

Hi Wo9lfie!

9:42 pm

Hello GreyWoulf! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

woulf!! how you going? long time darling!

9:43 pm

Cool icon fireworks GreyWoulf. Is that from this year

9:43 pm

We are all doing fine, I am happy to report -- unlike a couple of you ladies :-\

9:44 pm

I found them on line when I last logged in for the 4th, MIn

9:45 pm

and yes, mrp -- it has been quite a long time... I have been corrupted by my friends into the world that is World of Warcraft, so I tend to spend a fair bit of time there these days... when I have the energy to log on

World of Warcraft has kidnapped many friends!

Are the family well? Kids all doing good?

9:46 pm

WoW i've lost many a friend to that game...lost as in can't find them online

9:46 pm

WoW can take up a lot of time, wolfie. I don't play it but my son used to. He did meet his g/f that way, though. She still plays as a Healer, but her no longer plays.

9:47 pm

wo 7/44, please?

9:47 pm

yes, family are all doing fine -- the kids also play World of Warcraft as well -- Seb sits in my lap and helps press the buttons; Kristianna is ok to play on her own

9:48 pm

wo 7/44 is w plus double vowels plus hook letter plus anagram of what we breathe cybernan.

9:48 pm

welcome joey.... i am still whining about a pr 5 12.. there are 4 in a row and i have 3 of them .. still need one.. and my monley has quit

9:48 pm

wo7.44 is a poison used on african weapons. w + double vowel + word for unusual or uncooked meat change last letter to another vowel

9:49 pm

Just stopping in to say good night - babble has been on all day - have had good intentions on getting back to finish - but alas - too late and too tired - leaving bright and early for camping - will see you all next week - happy babbling

9:49 pm

I have made the resolution to check back in here at Babble though -- WoW fills my need to play a fantasy game, and keeps me in touch with some of my other friends, but Babble will always be my first online home {{Hugs}}

9:49 pm

Goodbye Riverdance! have fun camping. See ya later!

9:49 pm

pr + charged particle, sammy

9:50 pm

cybernan - wo7/44 = to court a lover + a consonant + the last 3 letter of an African Adventure - a saf***.

9:50 pm

Good night Min - will miss you all (hope the DT's arent too bad)

9:50 pm

11:02 pm

I did not have a lot of sp5/12 time today so I did not finish the grid. It is ra 4/4 for me to finish big grids. With such a huge grid,I used ap4/5 to help me today instead of monkeys. I found them playing on a ka4/8 on top of a mountain pe4/9 under the sunny sk5/18. When I found them,they le4/4ed at me. I guess they had heard by pa5/12 from monkeys how demanding I am. At first I was quite sk4/9tical about using them and thought they would give me trouble. But they pr 5/18d me wrong. I did not have to sp 4/5 with them. Didn't have to sp5/20 to them about their behavior. They did not we4/9 over having to help me.I lo4/7ed working with them. They se 5/16d me well. They ea 4/4 their rewards today.They we4/8 on the pr 5/20 and helped me find 176 words w/ea4/4. They we 4/8 good at finding words in the lo 5/18 left hand corner of grid. I had very wi 4/8 ap 4/5 today. They we 4/8 wi5/18 than my monkeys.After 176 words, my ap4/5 and I we 4/8 wo 4/5 out!They ro 4/4 with glee when I let them go. Was going to give them their bananas but they wanted pe 4/5s instead of bananas as their reward. I said "for pete's sa 4/8! I already pe 4/5ed your bananas for you!" My story is ov4/7.I hope you we 4/8 able to find some more words. Hubby, who is not a lo 5/16 of Babble, wants laptop. Hubby ow 4/8 me big time for always relinquishing the computer to him all of the time. Goodnight to my fellow babblers!

11:02 pm

wow Min!

11:02 pm

* spanning story for clues! *

11:03 pm

sweet dreams Min... ((hugs))

11:04 pm

wow. I just found the last KA words... *mind spinning*

11:04 pm

11:05 pm

G'night, Min

11:05 pm

11:05 pm

11:05 pm

11:05 pm

hey Jellen! (((hugs))) is your sister there now?

11:05 pm

go pini go!!!

11:06 pm

My sister is staying at my brother's house tonight...

11:06 pm

AC didn't get fixed, jellen?

11:07 pm

oh! glad she's coming though.

11:07 pm

But tomorrow morning, we are going to a day spa for a massage, facial, and foot spa...

11:08 pm

I think it's not cooling properly...although we thought he had fixed it...

11:08 pm

ooooh. a spa DAY! (spa is in the grid...)

11:08 pm

ooooh, a spa day! Sounds lovely, jellen!

11:09 pm

ONE left....

11:09 pm

snap, pini!

11:10 pm

63 to go!

11:10 pm

po7?

11:10 pm

po 7 looks like a misspelling for "pretty little flowers"

11:11 pm

starts like a person who writes verse and ends with a diminutive

11:11 pm

got it! :)

11:11 pm

thx!

11:11 pm

need the second WO 7 for incendiaries... help?

11:12 pm

court + rhymes with Indian dress (change first letter to hook)

11:12 pm

(best I can do)

11:12 pm

thanks pini! it was PERFECT

11:12 pm

(just like you)

11:12 pm

* sigh of relief *

11:13 pm

Hooray for stid!!!

11:13 pm

congrats on sparklers!

11:13 pm

*bounce bounce bounce* THREE more days!!!!

11:13 pm

* blush *

11:13 pm

Great clue, Pini!

11:13 pm

we shall have an infestation of babblers!!!!

11:13 pm

;)

11:13 pm

Stid...do you know what size cake we're going to do?

11:13 pm

I bought a new floppy hat, just for the meeting. Am going to dress it up with some VERY bright ribbon....

11:14 pm

how fun, stid!!!

11:14 pm

I don't know pini -- jmc doesn't do choclit or sugar... we'll have about ten people.

11:14 pm

<-- doesn't do hats...they just don't look right (unless it's my cattleman cowboy hat!)

11:14 pm

maybe a few more. Do we want to do the cake on Saturday?

11:14 pm

OK, let me think about it and I'll let you know ;)

11:15 pm

I think saturday would be the better day (perhaps even if we gather for dinner?)

11:15 pm

if there is extra, I know some teens who will take care of the evidence.

11:15 pm

I agree Saturday makes sense. We could potentially have the cake at around 1:30... and then go to the restaurant after.

11:15 pm

no doubt! LOL

11:16 pm

cake "before" lunch? (makes for a light lunch bill) :)

11:16 pm

well bummer. now I am done. *sigh* my excuse to rest is gone. I spent HOURS downtown at the Pie in the Sky event.

11:16 pm

I think once in a while it makes sense to eat dessert first.

11:16 pm

oh, good point!

11:17 pm

My legs are tired. I stood and walked a LOT.

11:17 pm

stid...do you wanna skype for a few minutes?

11:17 pm

Happy thing is... I walked and stood a lot. Felt good to be able to do that.

11:17 pm

hi all. I have 112 left. can I do it before the flip??

11:17 pm

sure. let me load it.

11:17 pm

hi all

11:18 pm

okay, I'm up. hey M! are you coming on Saturday? why not?

11:18 pm

hey hpb. you might, if you list now.

11:18 pm

Hi, hpb and m9

11:18 pm

signing in now

11:18 pm

I have the list up, but am daunted by the fact that the very first word has me stumped.

11:19 pm

hopeless, I tell ya.

11:20 pm

Ooh, I just got skype...

11:21 pm

cool Jell!! I got a little web camera...but it's only recording sound...i can't get it to figure out video.. although it shows video in preview mode!

11:21 pm

hmm..so maybe it would work for skype come to think of it.

11:38 pm

Man, those Ks are like pulling teeth. Want to give me clues for the last ka4 and the 6?

11:39 pm

11:39 pm

11:40 pm

11:40 pm

how do you know it's the last one/??

11:40 pm

Thanks M and kje. I'm happy to have those done. I know it's the last because I'm using the list.

11:41 pm

b/c i have them all

11:43 pm

I meant there's no way to know what order the ka4's are in. so you can't know if it's the last IN ORDER.

11:43 pm

okay, back. (((kje))) hello!

11:43 pm

hi stid!

11:43 pm

Sure you can if you use Lickety. It puts your words in order.

11:43 pm

hey jellen -- I see that you have skype now! run a search on my usual name if you like and I will "friend" you (but I don't usually have that app up)

11:44 pm

i think jellen stepped out, stid

11:44 pm

I'm back...

11:44 pm

or not

11:44 pm

hi jellen

11:44 pm

it just says ka4/4 ka4/4 ka4/4 ka4/4.....

11:45 pm

Yes, copy and paste your word list into the "bulk add" at the bottom of the page and it fills in the blanks.

11:45 pm

hey jellen, I just tried to send you a thingy via skype...

11:45 pm

Or enter them one by one at the top of the page.

11:46 pm

oh! right. i don't actually use the lickety page.

11:46 pm

you don't use LICKETY??? *faint*

11:46 pm

I would never be able to finish without it. My husbands calls it cheating, but that's because he doesn't play...

11:46 pm

I use the list. but not the page

11:47 pm

Hi, kje

11:47 pm

I guess I should fix that to "husband." No polyandry here...

11:47 pm

Using lickety's page really speeds things up for me, the netbook isn't easy to flip between screens.

11:47 pm

LOL that's funny hpb

11:48 pm
