hi mitch
we've had 3 biggies in a row
hi FM
mitch, what is that animal
Hi sandy and westie and sandra.
It is a babble word - the Tenrec from Madagascar
amazing looking creature
why is gilet not in the dictionary???? it is a piece of clothing!!!!
where do you wear it?
the tenrec looks like an unkempt anteater
it is another name for a sleeveless jerkin
here gillete is a brand of razor
here too
LOL westie, it is a punk hedgehog.
same here in England
much better description FM lol
we must learn to accept the foibles of Enable.
Gilet is a French word - it's a bit random as to what French words are deemed to have been assimilated into English. Gite isn't accepted either, and yet it's much used in England. And good morning/evening all.
hi Haz
Good morning Haz!
hello haz just heard today about your misfortune hope you are mending well
Hello! Nice sunny day here.
ugh..day #4 for this cold..morning all;)
not here in essex
Hello westford, I'm feeling well.
where are you?
happy to hear that haz
Hmmpfh, it is raining here and the forecast is for more tomorrow which is a shame as there is an Italian food market in the village.
What misfortune Haz, (gallbladder?)
sorry about your cold crossy is it keeping you up?
Yes, sandy, gone and not missed.
I thought I was alone here
it is indeed westford...sniffle....
Morning ((crossy)), passes tissues and a mug of tea.
You will only feel much better in the long run
stay away from milk products
evening Crossy, passes wine
lol sandy..it is 4:15 am here
that means it's still night time and wine o'clock (passes more wine)
i think i shall have some of fms fine tea instead;
LOL Mulled wine may suit you better
Nothing like steamy hot mulled wine for a cold
morning everyone
hi Katie
never was a wine fan..give me something in a tall shot glass and 240 proof;)
hi katie
Good morning, Katie.
Put some in a thermos flask and leave it in the PB sandy, crossy can have some later :) Morning Katie.
howdy katie
I always think mulled wine tastes vaguely medicinal at the best of times.
i love it, we used to have it before a hunt, it was gorgeous with
I love mulled wine in the winter and have just discovered sangria for the summer, although it does have strong competition from pimms
the hounds and the horns in the morning la
l alalaal
su7=an old way of telling time
thanks for that crossy
LOL me'thinks sandy is in her cups :)
we have a su7 in the garden but have just moved it and the weather has been so rubbish we haven't been able to set the time on it yet
no I keep pressing the wrong key
I didn't know they had to be set
*grin*
I feel strangely irresponsible as I have just dropped husband off at the airport
yep but you need a key element to do it which is sadly lacking in the midlands at the moment
I have never seen a real sundial
you just left him there or is he going somewhere?
off to the pb sandy
he has gone away for a while to work
ahhhhhhh and i was trying to be so careful not to say it!!
whoops, now to get that flask of wine
oh sorry sandy but you'll have time to brush up on your goodwife duties
sorry, I told you I was feeling irresponsible
Of course West, I am reading the manual now
lol, so the party is at sandy's house then!
we can quiz you if you like
kk,ill bring some newfie screech
that would be good west, I'm thinking I need all the help I can get
Everyone on the plane!! Babble get together here!
wouldn't that be super?
I would love that! Someone better come and stay as soon as our house is built
we have people coming for the weekend and are going on holiday on thurday (with nothing packed yet because of the visitors) and with everything to do I am sitting playing babble, I really need to read the manual lol
mmm,a 16 hour plane trip....i would need a surgeon when i got off the pplane..nm,i would need a surgeon to get off the plane lol
sandy plane better leave 1/2 hour earlier than planned - southern tip of Africa is a long drive
katie where are you going?
Have you got a canoe Ursh? you could always row
Stalis in Crete
Hi ursh.
Katie you wouldn't be you if you weren't on a knife edge lol
Hi Ursh

leaving your husband at the airport sounds like a great idea!!!
thanks haz
good morning ruby
or he can leave me there and I'll catch the next plane to the aussie meet-up!
And it's a animal, as well, Katie, a big antelope type.
crossy, what are you doing on here at this hour?
You're welcome, sandrafrances.
cold woke me up
how do i play dis
PC is playing up so will reboot and go do errands in the village. Back in a little while.
cold inside or cold outside
en + old television show: *** king and penny flying around in the firmament
hi and bye fm!
Thanks everyone. A lot of you seem to be going on holiday, so have a wonderful time. It is a miserable morning here (Oxfordshire) with heavy rain forecast - not holday weather!
That's your punishment for creating chaos in babble yesterday, crossy. (The cold, I mean) Do you have Kleenex Balsam tissues in Canada?
that means you have to go on holiday jenny!
If so, buy them!
slidiva - start by ready help - will give you good idea
I used to love that show it was on Friday night and I was allowed to eat my fish and chips in front of the tv
there cant possibly be 25 c words
hello ursh
hello west
any clue for the british on the en show please
hello haz
so decadent West
hello sandy
how is that flask coming along?
lynxx, didn't see you, hi
it was lyn lol
it's the same here jenny (staffordshire) the BBQ has been cancelled and I am cooking a winter menu of chicken wings (sweet chilli, regge regge and peri peri) chilli, baked potatoes, garlic bread and salad, banoffee pie, birthday cake and cheese board. No work there then¬!
I wish I could Ruby, but have already been away twice this year and will probably go away again in October when it will be really wet and cold but as I am doing family history I shan't mind the weather!!
en plus Patrick Moore's programme, the *** at night.
i the "perfect wife" contest still on with Sandy's husband away?
The contest is continual assessment.
The aussies have it in the bag, ruby
I think Katie just won Perfect Wife for the Day
crossy gets ready to fly over to katies for dins
see see Jenny goes on holiday as much as me!!!!!!
hi Sandy
hmmmm maybe she did
Guilty conscience, Katie, guilty conscience.
wow, katie! I wish I had half your ambition (or energy)!
still on here rather than making the garlic bread!
No-one holidays as much as Katie
have you voted Lynxx? and who do you think will win? I think it is anyone's guess
if i came home to a meal like that,i would want to know what was up lol
ruby - sometimes the ambition outstrips the energy
I know just what you mean Katie, we plan a big bbq on Sept 5th with about 20 people & I know it will rain, but we do have two living rooms and a covered outside area so will still cook outside.
lmao crossy.
Polls closed over here now Sandy, seems like a close one
Daughter Nicky does not want to vote , cant get her to go
we only have 3 people coming so there will be 5 of us in total I have bought wayyyy to much food but will be freezing down so when we get back from holiday it will be a defrost and nuke option
katie is the bbq turned winter meal for a special occasion?
I think katie said "birthday cake@
today is our son's birthday he's 39
I must confess I buy the frozen gateaux and husband does the actual cooking, but everyone will disappear when it gets to clearing up time!!
it's a friends birthday. They have two children under 4 and have arranged for them to stay with the Gparents (I think for the first time) so we want it to be special for her.
Happy birthday Son of West
he is the same age as my eldest
"Happy birthday to West's son"
Oh hope he has a good birthday West
Happy Birthday to Katie's friend!
thanks I will pass on your good wishes
Okay, I'll have to disappear to get ready to go shopping. Husband is coming to push the trolley and lug the shopping around for me. See you later!
his wife got him the new iphone
Bye Haz
He's going to love that! Bye Haz
Bye!
happy groceries haz
Haz, I hope he will have irrational bursts of trolley rage as well otherwise it's not a proper shopping trip
what a great present west
lynxx, first I thought you were talking about "perfect wife etc", then I remembered that it's an important (and close) election in Australia
bye haz
he's really excited about it we got him a gift card for apps
Must go now and wash kitchen floor while everyone is out and it can dry without footmarks.
even better west! I love mine, one of the best presents I've every had
Boys and their toys. Happy birthday to your boy West
we do not have trolly rage here,we have checkout line rage as we watch the cashiers fingers blur over the keypad and to contents of the wallet vanuish is the speed of light
vanish
don't work so hard jenny
*gasp* jenny makes a clear dash to the top of the perfect wife list by mopping a kitchen floor
lol crossy
I'm soaking the stove drip pans does that count?
teal
I had so much stuff yesterday that I could hardly get it back in the trolley it came to £168 I was lucky to remain upright when she said it
Oh yes west that most certainly counts
have that one ruby,another please lol
sorry! what's in the PB? more coffee, I hope
I actually didn't have it lol
ruby did you see what I said when you came in? both your names are in the grid (sort of )
omg katie,thats like$250.00 of food here
Nicky is being incredibly grumpy and has gone to vote-
I saw the nickname and tried it with a secondl
good for her ( the voting not the grumping)
alt spelling rub
there was three weeks of catfood for 4 cats, three crates of beer and six bottles of wine and well as a mossie killer for holdiay but yes it was very very expensive
ruby*
wonder what the fine is nowadays Sandy?
oh yes, saw the second one too! Didn't see you when I first came in, West, nice
She will get fined $80 if she doesn't vote, its compulsory here and guess who will have to pay the fine?
well I've done my civic duty and voted
voting is a must.remember,only by voting do you have a right to bitch about who is currently holding office
I dislike children at the moment
wow that is reverse democracy
Nicky! - not you!
any ideas for something weird and disgusting?: one of the window boxes has, for two days in a row, been filled, inside and out, on impatiens leaves etc, with 100's of flies. Then they go away in the afternoon. I looked for a dead anything, and couldn't find it. They are absolutely still and it's like something out fo a horror movie
but a good method
iw ould agree to a voting law here.i mean as it stands we can barely get over 65%
hi sandy, lynxxx westford, crossy
anyone else I've missed
we keep having discussions over here about making it compulsory, however I think it's sad they need to make it so. We were always taught that people had died to get us the right to vote and felt it was our moral duty, I was really annoyed that I couldn't vote in the last elections
hi day
hello daykat
Hi day
hi Daykat
Sounds like a variation of the 'The Birds" Ruby
it is creepy
it's really creepy
Hi Day
Ruby - I would spray with a Surface Insect spray - over the leaves too
Hitchkock comes to rural France....
yech ruby
and I love impatiens
Oh X Factor starts tonight yeahhhhhhhh
better get your spiders on the job
the other window box, with the same impatients and same dirt, is magnificent -- covered with flowers, no flies....
The Fly - Jeff Goldlum (sigh)
Ther is a movie called The Fly
I'll never open that window again!
Dont conduct scientific experiments on your husband at the moment Ruby
"This is the story of a scientist who gradually turns into six-foot fly. Well, Seth Brundle, a brilliant scientist, wants to impress his love interest, Veronica Quaife, a journalist. Brundle, who has finished inventing a teleport machine, tries the machine for the first time. When he turns it on, a fly flies in. The result is horribly amazing. He finds that he has certain characteristics of the fly. Later on, he realizes that he is about to be a fly"
Ruby perhaps you have a whole gaggle of suitors on your window box!
I was always afraid to watch that movie, kat, now I'm itching from head to toe and have goose bumps
tiny little suitors lol
I havent seen it either - I still cant see two crows sitting on a fence without going all cold and clammy!!
won't the french eat them?
the best time, then you have use a fly swatter! lol
thank you Alfred; I feel that way when I take a shower!
I could use one of those machines then I'd visit everyone
the alarms upstairs are about to go off. If I was a perfect wife I would go and turn them off and wake him up gently, however I'm not so will just snigger down here as he scrabbles around trying to turn them off
LOL
meant the best size!!
Ruby DO NOT watch it until your issue with the window box has cleared u
Watch it Ruby!
does it have a happy ending?
Sadly it does not Ruby
I have issues with corn fields after readiing The Stand by Steven King when I was 15 lol
He turns into a fly and gets caught in a spider web
hahah
I need a big spider -- very big
one of the characters was from Ogunquit where we are now
doesn't he eat his own arm at one point? (back on the Fly now)
that's funny, katie
Cant remember it clearly Katie
eeew
It was very realistic, based on a true story
lol
uh oh! stomping around upstairs and it's not the flies! See you later {{everybody}}
bye ruby happy swatting
At least I feel cheered up after dealing with grumpy Nicky
right I'm off to get the food sorted. The alarms have started going off lol - see you all later
have a wonderful time katie the food sounds delicious
Eldest daughter is on her way over to stay the night, at least she is not grumpy
maybe her sister will cheer her up
bye Katie
I have just made the yummiest chicken soup
I still can't make it taste like my mother's
yay, husband is watering the flies FROM THE OUTSIDE!
but won't that make them grow?
I love chicken soup and make it just like my beloved mother used to
obviously is not impressed with all the suitors ruby!!
I think they'd be less disgusting if they were bigger
this choicken soup has chook and leeks and garlic and carrot and celery and herbs and ...and...
u
don't want the suitors to grow!
hello marigold
They have excellent eyes Ruby, and can observe from many directions
it sounds scrumptious day
"Honey I unshrunk the suitors"
I can never cook things to taste as good as my mothers
I have no trouble - my mother, bless her, was a dreadful cook
Be afraid Ruby, be very afraid
let's talk about soup! I still have the willies!
you are cruel, sandy!!!
I make a really yummy pumpkin soup too Rubes
*sending sandy some flies via fedex*
waiter, what's that fly doing in my soup? the backstroke
sh, sir, if the other diners hear you they will want one
My mum is still a great cook and has a sit down xmas meal with all the trimmings for a bout 20 people every year (she is 83) we try to help but she is very stubborn
I used to make pumpkin soup, but could only do it with frozen pumpkin. Fresh pumpkin came out all watery
that's lovely about your mum, sandy. I won't send her any flied!!
I love to cook a cauliflower and stilton soup, it is delicious
flies*
cauliflower and stilton - sounds DEEVINE!!
it does
I make a pretty mean onion soup
do you cook the onions for hours?
Minestrone - full of goodies - beans and pasta and 101 veges
it has no recipe just have to taste it as you go along until it is perfect (easy for perfect wives)
I just had some cauliflower and leek soup I made yesterday, not bad, served with sour cream
not hours just until they go limp
this is wonderful; you are making me hungry (sort of) which is a good thing because I am usually not
That sounds good Lynxx
do they caramelize?
they do
I had a French boyfriend (years ago) who made onion soup and made a huge deal out of caramelizing the onions -- very slowly...
Perfect Wives can whip up a three course gourmet meal when the fridge is empty - thats really where the story of the loaves and fishes came from
you australians!!!!!
who me? *innocent look*
Seats Won ALP 46 L/NP 46 - can't get much closer!
ooh lynxxx WA ppolls havent even closed yet
now 47/47
is it on TV already?
you guys! you are just behind the time/s
I'm watching ABC
is it usually so even?
not for 30 years apparently West
who do you have for ties then?
omgoodness - how close is this
if it isn't a clear win, will they have to form a coalition government?
the conservatives are already a coalition
sorry West, not sure what that expression means
if there is a hung parliament it may well go to the couple of independents
in the US Senate the vice president is the tie breaker if there is one
here our Prime Minister is the head of the winning party - we don't vote for the PM per se, not like a presidential election
but if it's even steven?
another election?
unlikely westford
preferences from minor parties would decide if that close
it is more likely to be eg 50 Liberal/National Coalition -50 Labour , maybe 1 Green and 3 Independents
and the votes from WA have yet to be counted
We were just waiting on Nic!
we have a system of preferential voting which is quite hard for me to fully understand
thats right - we wont start counting until after 6pm our time
ah nicky will be the deciding vote
wow, 100 painless words! amazing for me
grem said it was a hard grid and then finished in half an hour
I have 153 left, but daughter Rebecca has arrived and daughter Diana has just rung from broome so I have to go , will be back later
bye Sandy
{{sandy}}
bye sandy enjoy your girls
3 daughters, how good is that? jealous!!
we have 3 daughters too
I just have one son -- he is wonderful, but I've always wanted a daughter, too!
and lots of grandchildren, lovely
a" a daughter is your daughter, all of her life; a son is your son, until he takes a wife!"
that's true
that is very true I think
I love our daughter in law but it's not the same
and son's wife doesn't want children!
that is a shame
and how sad for you
so many kids are making that choice nowadays
I'd probably be a grumpy old grannie anyway lol
back again, and I have no grandchildren either , but I live in hope
I dont think so Ruby
*poof*
campari time in Dixie!
Nicky is back and still grumpy, so I acted like a fool and now she is smiling LOL
Lynxx, it looks very close
Just looked up ALP 59 L/NP 48
Well that sounds encouraging for the ALP
62/49
the figures they are giving here are a lot closer'
it is too scary - cant stand the idea of the Budgie Smuggler representing us overseas
43/38
LOL
I dont like any of them
are you watching ABC Sandy?
ssstill too early to tell really
still too early to tell really
still too early to tell really
still too early to tell really
still too early to tell really
oops - how does that happen??
no 7, they are saying alp lost two seats and libs gained two - I predict ALP will just get in
I'd love to see a Green or two in the lower house
ABC says ALP 63 L/NP 49 Other 3 Undecided 35
apparently swings in Qld
Julia will be chewing her fingernails just now
later all, going to stir the soup
bye Daykat
I often vote independent
bye day and I'm off too the sun is coming up
bye day
bye West, I hope you have had some sleep!
BBL
oh lord..the labour pundit is leaning on postal votes... thats not good
hi rolin, its a cliffhanger
Hi Rolin
but a good bit is that there is now a Green in the House of Reps in Melbourne
lynxxx the ABC are still saying its too close to call.
big swing against LAbour in Qld
swing to Labour in Tas
hey lyn
swing to Labour in Vic
hey rolin, good to see you
good old coorangamite holds for labour
looks like a hung parliament for you too
coorangamite is too close to call rolin
hey demi...
hey rolin.. how are you?
Hi peeps all over the world
hi Demi
im ok..ish.. tired...but fascinated watching the election
hey lynxx
hi Espritd
surely rolin you have better things to do than watch the ox election
hey lyn
Coorangamite - your old stomping ground Rolin? (aside from a sandwich spread)
a bit further along lynxx... were were western district conservative ridden..*sigh*
demi...i am actually sitting here enjoying it...lol
a 20 yo has been elected, pretty good
chilli and garlic bread made, chicken wings marinading, only the salad to go, time for a babble :-)
wow, that sure is something, our local council member is very young, I think that is a good thing
Katie, that chili and garlic bread sounds fantastic
it does smell good :-) all as low fat as it can be as well but falls to pieces on the cheese board, banoffee pie and cake lol
a green has won melbourne...1st in the reps
that happened here
Speaking on ABC now, looks about 30, very personable
my only problem with him is that his name can be parodied to 'adam ant'...lol
better than Mister Rabbit. The way Julia says Tony's anme 4 times out of 5
I've very excited that I have a revolving board which I can use for the first time for the cheese. These are the little things that keep me happy
lol..grammatically wrong...but perhaps not personality...
a lazy Susan, I keep meaning to buy one too Katie
katie how do you make that chile and garlic bread, is it just garlic butter with chilli chopped in it
I just love chilli
come you lot over in the West!
their saying 72/71 i green and 4 ind...omg
oh sorry it is Chilli as a main dish and normal garlic bread. I'd never thought of doing chilli garlic bread but I would just chop it up extremely small and put it in the garlic butter before spreading it. I would try it but my chillies from the plant in the garden are really strong so I would blow the head of the guests
omg is right
omg enough to make me use the wrong they're..lol
lynxxx I have a lazy susan for the dips & olives with dishes on. this one is more like a chopping board :-)
Katie, I also love chilli and later at some stage (my email is on my profile)could you send me your chilli recipe- I know you wont have time now- but I would love it
will do sandy but likely to be tomorrow
I will send you some recipes in return
whenever it suits you
that would be great thanks
there is some suggestion that Wilson Tuckey's seat is in doubt - now there's a turn up!
possibly the result of redoing the boundaries
how long does your count take day?
the first trickles are coming in now.
Isn't it good to see no sh** stuck to Peter Garret, the man is untouchable
Great news about the Greens MP in Melbourne!
Very good
I love election night it's so exciting, we missed it this year :-(
mind you it was still going on when we got back lol
Hello, All...back to find the last 142 words
Hi Zooz, how you doing?
Not bad thanks..just had a snooze..was up for the flip..lol
How are you Katie?
hi Zooz - now that's a funny icon
I'm good thanks and I certainly wasn't up for the flip lol
Hi lynxxx..how is the voting going?
very very very close
they are saying labour might just scrape through.
they as in bbcnews 24
hey zooz, big hugs to you, lovely , so lovely to see you here
yeah they said that on radio five live
Hello, Sandy :-)
I know - its all Nics fault!
Once again, I love your icon
Nic did vote thank goodness lynxx and now she is not so grumpy, sister has had the desired effect
69-68-5-8 undecided !
could be a hung parliment still
and we know how much fun they can be
lol..true
you get extended fun as you never know what will happen next. At the moment we are playing are they going to abolish us on a daily basis
Do you remember the double dissolution when Fraser and Whitlam were in power, I was listening to parliament on the radio the day it happened , wow what a moment!
Yes
What fun we had at dinner parties in those days!! that was when the public started to pay attention at last
Everyone was so passionate in those days
Fraser has been great on Gruen Transfer, have you been watching that?
Whitlam was and still is such a charismatic man - incontrast the current mob are a bunch of colurless wooses
Wasn't he though! and a great partner in Margaret
Lynxx, I have never heard of that , but I would be interested
ABC show, usually about advertising industry but last 4/5 have focused on election.
Margaret is one of my heros
Day, The polllies with the most charisma have always been labour pollies, I was in a restaurant once and Bob Hawke came in, you could almost cut the air with a knife , he had such charisma ( and not even a favourite of mine) I always loved Paul Keating for his wonderful oratorial prowess
and Hawkie was /is such a colourful bloke
yes indeed
remember when Keating got into trouble cos he 'manhandled' the Queen
Hawke was a clever bastard. I liked Keating as well
I do, I saw Obama lay his hand on her as well but nothing was said. Keating must have broken the ice for him
Queenie might have actually enjoyed being treated like a normal human being!
68-70 (oh no!) -5-7 undecided . I can hardly bear to look
you beat me to it Daykat..i was just about to write that..lol
what is the definitive number lynxxx?
64-70-5-7 doubtful....the numbers are swinging everywhere, don't think this is going to be decided tonight
I went to a bookshop which was underground once and suddenly the morning light that was streaming through the door was blocked , I looked up and silouhetted with the light shining past him , was Kim Beazley- I chuckled to myself, he looked like the second coming
now dont get misled , I am not neccessarily a labour fan, I just think they have the most colourful pollies
then you said..get out of the bloody light man.
He seemed like a straight up guy
LOL zooz, I know I am talking ozzie talk here
I love Kim , he is a straight shooter
Kim got a raw deal -= he is one of the most articulate men
BBL dinner is here, although these results are giving me indigestion
Bob Brown from the Greens has just spoken - a very happy man - Greens look as if they will hold the balance of power all over. 12% of the primary vote which is great
A little scary tho daykat, I prefer the winning party to be able to govern with a majority , meaning the majority of the public did not vote green but green will hold balance if that is the case
if ever i move back to aus...ill be proud to vote green...
good for you rolin
lets face it green means the ALP
Greens policies are not the same as the ALP really, and I think they have policies which are catching the younger voter - they were almost a laugh several years ago but now they have a real impact
Grass roots politics appeals to me.
Ihave to eat my dinner now will be back interesting dialogue
I was just thinking how the Greens have replaced the Democrats for a conscientious right thinking party
"keep the b******* honest" remember that? The democrats have just died
I do
Greens have a much more (to my mind) rational approach to asylum seekers etc - AND they support same gender relationship rights, which is important to me
and national broadband
yep
I really hated Abbotts "stop the boats' push, cringge making
Greens - 9 senatorss!! one in every state
Appalling especially for a 'religious' man
and fireworks for me.
Congrats Zooz!!
What are you u to this weekend Zooz?
u = up
good for you zooz - while we are doing boring politics you are getting on with the job!
Thanks Lynxxx & Daykat
what did happen to the democrats... see i leave the country and it all goes to pot..lol
Lynxx..have to go to my parents house ..having a meal & seeing family members.
actually I dont really know rolin - they just faded away
ok will be going now..hope you get the party you voted for :-)...............happy babbling All.
have a good weekend with your family zoom, stay well:)
unless anyone would like any clues?
thanks zooz but I have kinda lost interest in the grid at the moment
sorry, was seeing red messages for a bit
I understand Daykat..lol
Not for me thanks Zooz, have a good weekend!
Crossy was getting those yesterday too...dr_God had to sort it out...although did not effect alot of us....ok take care then...*poof*
I think it is usually the local server
hello all

morning Peri

ty, got it
or 'not on your ne**"
nbt
never heard that phrase lyn
need to go for a walk and errands, bbs
Back again after a yummy dinner- daughter made an unbelievable mushroom pie
sounds good
Ok the democrats have gone- it is hard for minority parties to stay alive in our political system for sure- greens have longevity I think because we are all concerned with their issues
I agree with same sex marriages because I have some gay friends and the law does not apply to their relationships which I feel is very unjust and needs to be addressed-
Good morning all - very late flip.
hi Christine.
Hi chris, australia is in the middle of election results which we aussies have been discussing
I think the law now does happily address all the relationship issues (same as defactos/marriage) - however I do not have a problem with marriage either
I saw that an alligator had 'predicted' the woman candidate would win .. is that good?
I think the alligator may be wrong. Sure it wasn't a crocodile?
sandy, I have been with my partner for 30 years and we certainly feel the law does protect us now - it didn't until the last few years
Cou;d be - my relationship with either is negligible.
that is very good to hear day as I always felt that it was an issue that was desparately needed to be addressed
Which candidate is your choice?
Crocs are native here - no alligators (although the latter would be preferable)
Chris, we do not vote for our prime minister as you do your president. we vote for the party who elects the prime minister
we still are not treated as equal to a 'proper' marriage - we are not counted as each other's next of kin for example which could prove to be critical if one of us was ill
Well there you go Day, you should be counted as next of kin - that is ridiculous and where are your legal rights in that case? !!!
I have seen relatives come in (who have never had anything to do) and claim rights! It makes me so mad. Long standing relationships should have the legal equality of a marriage
well there arent any - so just for example if one of us was on life support, the other couldn't legally say 'turn it off please' - for me they'd have to ask my son or daughter who are technically my NOK
You can give each other power of Attorney to cover that unfortunate instance?
I worked for a gay doctor and was very good friends with his
pressed the wrong thing again!
yes you can but it is limited. Changes are afoot though. For the first time in the last year Centrelink actually recognises same sex relationships
When our doc died , his horrible relations came in and tried to get his millions - he had a water tight will thank goodness, but what nerve!! No morals there
the least protest from next of kin can turn power of attorney into a legal nightmare.
Daykat, my daughter's friend encountered just that - after almost ten years of denial, including when they were notified their son was dying, they turned up about a week later demanding the furniture, car, table linens - everything except the garbage pail.
a lot easier now than it was - in the ealy years if my childrens' father had wished to challenge custody, I wouldnt have had a chance to keep them - very differnet now thankfully
Death and wills brings out the worst in people in any relationship - doesn't have to be gay
power of attourney only exists while the person is alive
case in california took a dying man's wishes, tossed them, declared him a ward of the state and promptly sold off his and his life partner's home and belongings to pay for institutionalizing him
lynxxx - totally agree
Hi all, is this grid hard or is it just me??
appalling Bonkler
hi Ren!
New laws are needed for sure!! I have seen these injustices first hand and am horrified by it
Death and the lack of a will is even messier. If you haven't made one PLEASE do!
i've got 101 words(:
hi FM
have wills FMitch, hopefully watertight
Wills are the answer and made up by a lawyer to be watertight
Many years ago, a friend of mine married a gay man, then lived with him and his partner. This was in the early years of the AIDS epidemic, and when he died, she (of course) signed over everything to his partner. Bloody awful that people had to resort to such subterfuge.
Hi Lynxxx
a lot of sef righteous religious bigots will make it hard for those changes to come around but it is a battle well worth fighting. queer suffrage!
Hello all, was just passing but had to put my penneth worth in there.
Pollies are afraid to commit , because of such bigots
*always faancied chaining myself to a railing*
what a good soul Christine
even here in canada where the majority of the people support marriage reform and gays and lesbians can legally marry there is a constant fight against the evils of religion trying to strip them of their rights.
I dont see either of our parties committing either way. We dont have such a strong 'bible belt' here that america does, I cant see it happening in america real soon
If it wasnt so tragic it would amuse me that 2 old tarts like me and my girl could so threaten the sanctity of Marriage!
Remember, the point of marriage is procreation -- and if you can't or like my kid, don't want babies, or you're past bearing-age??? Will 'they' let you marry?
Marriage is just a word - I dont neccessarily believe in marriage for gays persay (dont really care) but some sort of legal committment to give them the same rights as a married couple
as i understand it, the issue is at a state level and several states have recognized equal marriage. most are heading the other way it seems. the american xtian right wing is happily charging toward a taliban type of anti-gay, anti-woman stance with a sprinkling of xenophobia on top
if it's "just a word' what's to believe in either way?
The gay people I know are such decent caring people that I cannot understand what the problem is. better than sending people off to fight wars
Neil Patrick Harris is doing OK for the procreation bit, not sure if he is married
doogie isn't married
They need legal equality for long term relationships.
at least not legally that i know of in california
sandy, the issue is that some couples would really like to celebrate their relationship in the same way as other couples do with a 'marriage' - celebrate publicly etc, and have their relationship respected and protected just like everyone else
Well day, I certainly have the respect for people that are not harming others and care for eachother
illeal
sorry! perils of lurking
And I say "some' because not all do, but then neither do hetero couples
thanks for 2 words Jake
marriage is an institution that has legal ramifications that are well established and stable. a civil union, the term often thrown about, is subject to change at the whim of an unfriendly administration and can be redefined in a manner that marriage can't be.
exactly, and that is the whole point -
most welcome, lynxx! i just can't find that last il6
well said Bonkler
the sickest?
ok , I am getting off my soap box and back to the puzzle
thank you, lynxxx
thanks lynxxx
been a good conversation:)
cheers daykat!
it has, but I am not seeing the election results because kids are watching House, how is it going
anyone with that last il?
70-73-5-2 doubtful
it's not the sickest Jayk? (I'm not listing)
J.....most ill.
Duh!! Thanks! FW!!
Lynxx, do they say that absentee votes and postal votes will come into it?
hi Liz
Congrats Jayk!

Wow - the youngest, the first green and the first indigenous - even if we don'[t know whether our first woman PM will get through yet
Indigenous?
A lot of "firsts" lynxxx!
Yeah - now we just need to know who will win - looks like it will be a few days though
Interesting and glad to see an indigenous
Chris that means an aboriginal
it means native to that area
That's what I thought - realised as soon as I hit send
I think that is fantastic
We may see some sparks flying in our future parliament
that is cool, sandy
Good sparks? :o)
its raining here and that IS cool
it is only 82 here right now, and THAT is cool ; )
Back soon - time for a cuppa.
though it will get to 102 this afternoon : (
hi kje

we are in the middle of winter Kj and we have only had about 6 days where it has rained since november
hello kje!
oops, hi - LOL
wow, is that normal in winter there?
hi TO!
I hate our hot weather, so I sympathise
me too sandy, honestly would rather have snow than temps greater than 100
not normal, we have had cloudless sunny skies it seems forever. more rain over east tho which is great
will do the rain dance for ya then, sandy...\
Even so our paddocks are really green due to those days being very heavy rain, today is gentle rain and it is lovely
hello...help with the ga7/40? please

TO it could be wal*** or hazel***
or banana ***
or you are a ***
LOL
I am eating banana *** bundt with my coffee this morning. My mothers recipe from a 1920s cookbook.... the best
so recipe on your profile then - no teasing
damn
that would require typing
sounds lovely. kje, i madethe rootbeer cake formy firends in one of the performance centers at the festival
and moving from my bed to get the recipe
did they like it, TO?
You have a couple of days then (but I won't let you forget)
they did BUT so did Suzy Bogguss.
I will get it next time I get up for a refill, lynxx (yes, I AM that lazy today)
who is suzy boguss?
who is Suzy B?
she took some back to her hotel, she liked it so much. it was the only thing she ate. she is a country singer
oh fun, TO... then she should not forget you!
It is the best choc cake I have eaten (TY kje)
sounds delicious!
see THAT recipe was easy, I could cut and paste from the web - LOL
root beer cake? banana *** buntd ---- kje you will be typing for a while I fear!
well - i was working elsewhere. i came back after the show. she had given cds to the backstage folks but none for me :(
lynxxx.... if you like tiramisu, I found a killer ecipe that I made last night - amazing stuff
and that one i can give you the link for, so fits perfectly into my lazy morning
that recipe is too easy for words. but i think i found it on another site, it is on several but the one i was using was kind of fouled up
http://gastronomyblog.com/2009/02/09/r oot-beer-bundt-cake/
http://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipe s/detail.asp?docid=11472
http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/2009/0 5/root-beer-float-cake/
I do like Tiramisu - a LOT - preferably with chunks of chocolate. I'll take a look, thanks
I saw your posts from the festival, TO - looks like you had a fantastic time
help for my last bt?
it's the lowest e
the gastronomy one had pan sizes switched up
you should be able to adjust cooking time for pan size, i would think
i did, kje. it is a really big thing. when folks come for the first time they are amazed.
no more like they would say to use a small pan to heat the root beer mixture but it can't fit into one.
this banana cake I am eating is actually a banana cake recipe that is super moist, originally made in cake pans and iced, but my mom has always used it for banana bread in loaf pans (much better than dense banana bread recipes)... and I often make it in bundt
ah, I see, TO
i have a banana layer cake recipe i was wanting to try. love banana flavor
b/c I am lazy... and bundt mean only one pan to grease and flour and wash as opposed to 2 loafs - LOL
i use a large pan then i can just mix un the dry. it is such a forgiving cake.
there is a theme developing here I fear
I love the dense banana bread that the fanny farmer cookbook recipe makes.
lol we have the same line of thought i see! :)
does noone have the lowest e?
bbs, must get soemthing to eat. my calcium is weighing heavy on my stomach
I may have to try it, m9, but of all the banana bread that I have ever had (and that is a lot), none beats my mom's
en5.22 en & blue *** overhead
i do not m9
there's no oil in it.
now i do, ty lynxxx
thy!
oops.
ty lun!
oops!!!!!!
ty lynn!!!!!
oh I give up.
nm - I answer to most things
lol
ty so much for the link for root beer cake! :)
well, this recipe, being from the 20s, uses shortening... I use Spectrum which is non-hydrogenated from whole foods....
en5.10 is the other en & *** Maria - a liquer hat has been around for a long long time

Hi Trif

hi trif
hello scrabbler
oooh library sale!
<===heard every lawyer joke made and tired of them
take your hands off of me.... I don't see lookie in the grid
I KNOW, jmc, and this one is the mother of the all - the entire bottom floor of the library, books organized by dewey decimal, etc. Last year I bought FOUR brown shopping bags full of books, movies, and dvds for a whopping FOUR dollars!
i didn't shove you in! just next to it
must run, bbl, hagd all
smacks JMC with water ballon
Morning Trif!
sounds like harassment
Oh, man, I am such a bibliope with you there, Trif.hile! I would love to b
but you had to use a word to type that word
No, I have a full day of work and then work today.
what is it about jmc that makes us all want to throw things at her and shoot her - LOL
phtttt so what I just got out the shower
Geez, how do I fix a wandering cursor? It is so annoying.

I'm here too West
bummer car....

poof
sign a prenup, scrabbler!
duct tape scrabs.. that will shut him up
When typing the cursor randomly moves.
your just jealous because i am a saint
and it's not true! at least one y from the bottom starts with ye
great, now I have "bang a gong" stuck in my head....
Trif I heard about your heroism
*puts on helmet quickly*
do te** trif. . .
sigh....apparently everyone did, sandy, and it was supposed to be anonymous. but thanks, I am touched
thanks trif... now so do I!
And my desire to work is VERY low....
I didn't hear ... someone better tell me quick
What heroic deed do you do, Trif?
i didn't someone te** me
well, I am full of admiration for what you did, it made zooz feel that someone really cared which we all do of course
pb wild!
hmmmm. nothing better for clearing the head than a trip to a library sale, car!
I'll be in the pb whenever you're ready ...
have you considered saying you can[t come in because you are sick
Oh, that. I reviewed the chat log when I heard about it Thursday.
I'll tell it quick if no one else wants to
I got the last y btw ...
wtg wild

you did?? good going!
2 ye4 from bottom
TY, but no dear.
oh was it you that got aholdof the police?

yes.
How did you determine the home address?
but seriously, something like 3 others babblers contacted them as well, so I was hardly alone, and I am not a hero. I am just someone who cannot sit by. And it is not always a good thing to be
what happened????????
i was just about to turn off my computer to catch the plane when the police came on and the chog stop for over 7 minutes while everyone tried to figure out how to respond to police in babbleland
the police came on the chat and appealed for zooz to ring them and he did
good for you trif
oh my what happened to zooz?
Oh, I missed that part.
zooz was apparently suicidal and babblers worried
someone PLEEZ te4 the story from the beginning?
ok. done with y's
despair + wanted to die
yay m9
he was feeling very sad ....very sad the police went to his house
wtg m9
He's waiting to get into the hospital
oh poor zooz
they must have helped , he hadn't eaten for ages and they shared some cake with him
police really came into babble?
well first the trif called isle of wight from states. police couldn't find him... so they came on to babble here and he was on and they said to call them, and he did! So proud of him
zooz came on yesterday talking about how terrible his life was and how he hadn;t told his doctor
yes and you could have heard a pin drop when the police (with profile name police) announced themselves
the best thing was that he was on babble again the next day! that was the best
Whose account did the police use?
it's so difficult if the meds aren't right. I remember when my brother was on the wrong combo.
I wasn't on at that time
you're kidding ... profile name police??!!
He just hid out in his room.. gained a lot of water weight...
i was spooky, i just arrived to read their posts
they came on as 'police'
they made an account
they signed up lol!
I was on.
Sorry to interrupt...may I have a clue for the top N?
IT. IT was spooky
explain that to your supervisor ... uh why are you playing babble while manning the 911 line?
whoa ne5!!!
it was a little disturbing to see police and a grey profile!
I haven't been on all week ... missed a lot apparently
ty m9
how fitting
LOL wild
horse's name as in whoa there
I think it is the girls name Ne***
glad they were able to help zooz
yesterday was buzy buzy
TY
yw
and now please the lowest E....
I still am upset by the whole thing....
en the wild blue yonder
It was a goodthing youd did Trif
please don't be ... you helped a lot
oh trif!
It was upsetting but also uplifting
you shouldn't ever be faulted for good intentions
don't be upset!
oh trif it turned out okay and zooz is in contact with jell (which is bound to be good for both of them)
the pave the road to hell, wildcat
I don't think anyone thinks badly about it!
as I said, the best thing Trif was that he was on the next day
if that was hell trif then that is where i want to be
TY M9...would not have gotten that one!
not about the police part, more about poor zooz....and I am so glad he is on the road to recovery....but it was scary
sometimes ... but most of the time it ends up working out
did the police use lickety too?
won't be easy until he is taken care of though
Question: I have all the Y's, but my tile isn't gray. What's up with that?
a place where virtual stranger/friends can flyacross the country to meet and call police in other countries to help

I'm drafting a medal!!
but separately. . . ?
i'd love to hang out with Jilli
bichon is my long-lost-twin-separated at birth! lol
she is delightful
yes ruby. How's hubby?
so I do have a question jm
hi good
What? I thought i was ruby
yes ru?
clue for ge5/14 please
hi ren
did you let stid's dad have it?
you are me and we are all -- together da-dee-dum-dum
hi jmc
i was polite but did not concede his premise that everyone shoud have to jointhe mliitary
is that the plural ge4?
it's a plural ren
don't have it ren
thanks ruru, dont know how I missed that
husband was very sweet today, my back was hurting so he made me have a gin; that's why I'm singing Beatles!
we never raised our voices but you could see the worrie dlooks all around
then we shook hands when we left
lots of neutered horses
he loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
so he says!
see dh can be nice!
and I felt so awful that it made him be sweet!
you will have to ask stidgmere if i acquitted myself well
what would be a nice present for mrs ru.. our 25th is coming up?
I don't drink gin very often but it has marvelous medicinal effects!
isn[t that silver?
i love gin
and bourbon
Don't drink any alcohol, but I like good food
LOL... Aiden just told me that the Dugger's got chicken pox. and since the littlest was premie, mom decided it would be best to take her elsewhere.. so Dad is at home with 18 kids, 12 of whom have pox!!LOL she says "now THAT'S a dad!"
and vodka
complete Beatles!!!
yep
(or complete Rolling Stones)
hove about a nice peice of jewelry?
Elina has been listening to the Rutles cd my sister gave the kids
been there/ done that
or boxed set of her favorite film director's movies
25th? Italian lights aren't enough?
special trip like a cruise?
Silver ring with an inscription?
so you think there is a limit on jewelry?
I don't ...she does
hell no je
it's the silver annivesary. so something silver
if my hubby were alive he would give me a silver vase with three roses
Silver car? ;)
when you get to be my age AND live in the country, jewelry gets to be embarrassing
my parents 25th coincided with my grandparts' 50th. It was a lovely party!
when we got married an elderly woman told us a story about her husband and three roses becoming the symbol of their love because he was too shy to say it
aww, that's sweet jmc! story behind it?
so we would alway give three roses when ever something big would happen
grandparents* that's the gin's spelling
sweet
Awesome idea!
now when firend marry i give three roses and a nice vase and the story
a silber tabby
nice story, jmc!
silver certificates
silber tabby sounds good to me!
silver. doh!
if i am not realy close i give a cheap vase and three roses and the story lol!
hahah
mean nel!
no gin here...what's my excuse?
my neice married when I was in kenya and i sent her a crystal vase
no commment
bad ruby/nel
yeah.. remember we LOVE each other!
at this speed, I'll never even reach half!
what are you not commenting about ru?
I like the silver certificates idea.
right...I did
inquiinr minds want to konw
? say what?
opps typing in the dark has its down side
U R such an instigator jmc!
inquiring minds
I was going to say (a la mean nel) inquiring mind wants to learn to spell. Forgive me {{jmc}}
me! what on earth did i do!
but please, PLEASE don't get her a silver platter...
i told a romantic story
lol ruby
a fake silver fox wrap?
maybe I"ll paint myself silver
we love you jmc and you are so lucky to be in the NW with your babble cohorts!
now you are talking ru
Oh Baby!
uh oh
i just wish a critical mass would wake up so i got turn on the light
*giggle*
<<----would lo4 good in silver
just remember not to do your spine...
does anybody, of you American friends, watch Flashforward? Or is it already passe? I am addicted
don't know what it is ruby
huh
not my cup of tea ruby
good morning everyone:)
It's an American series, somehow showing up, subtitled, on French television. It's wonderful
i think she is refering to the myth that the goldfinger girl really died of paint poissoning
hi crossy
I'm perseverating on idea of anniversary gifts...
we get a very spotty selection
good call jmc!
hello crossy
perseverating?
suffocation...I think
is that an urban legend (if LA is urban, that is)
or something...
it is an urban myth
love urban myths!!!
my life is a suburban myth!
oh do you konw snopes then?
I didn't know about the myth. I'm just thinking of how the bond girl character supposedly died.
snopes?
*gasp* Resurfacing, past halfway, and ready to go to the farmers' market in tow. BBL.n
in the Wizard of Oz movie, the horse of a different color was covered with different flavors of jello for its changes
not the actress! the CHARACTER!! so I wasn't thinking poisening.. I was thinking asphyxiation....
when ever some one sends an email about how some corporation is doing something good/bad go to snopes and check it out as to whether it is true
maybe the actress, too.....
my son use jello to turn his hair blue for the prom
my grandfather from Germany (well Czech), used to mess up sayings. He'd say "now THAT'S a different horse!"
hahah
Can anyone clue the il6/18 please ;o)
I always snopes and then send the info back up the stupidity chain....
did he see the wizard of oz movie?
brb making coffee
hello norma
good for you m9
probably.... maybe? He died before I was born
Hi ruby how are you keeping ??
good question, norma, I'm not sure at the moment. Husband fed me "medicinal" gin
Have one for me lol
already did! hahah
mmm,medicinal distilates,,,,
And if I think it was REALLY stupid (as in negligent to send on without checking the facts) I suggest that the sender send out a retraction to all the recipients!LOL I don't get many stupid forwards anymore...
they make painkillers kicka**
I think I might try that
what did you get, m9?
heading out for a bit.. I am not seeing much..
careful mixing the gin and painkillers ruby,or you will end up howling at the moon
{{ruru}}
what did I get? huh??
yes, but right now, Mars and the Moon will be equally visible if your skies are clear enough for the next 10 days or so
bye {{{ruru}}}} whom we love...
m9, what you said about the sender etc.......
the chog is so all over the place I can't follow....
we were talking about snopes
unfortunately, there is too much ambient light here to see much of the heavens
and pini is lurking
oh.. i haven't gotten one in so long I don't remember! But i'm pretty sure it was a virus alarm.
No, I'm not...I'm waiting for my chog to catch up!!!
those REALLY tick me off. and the "beware of so and so" ones...
uh oh, watch out for that lurking pini!!!!
uh oh i hear pini typing furiously
* giggle *
Not sure I can be all that quiet with this thing!
(apparently NOT!)
I've never gotten one of those, probably beware of rubyfoo.....
that's what they all say when they get caught!
pini... it said 'painkillers'!!
wow... even the icons are the same
did someone want the il 6? It's the most sick
huh? who said painkillers? did I? did I misread something?
thx bichon
secret club.. grumble, grumble..
ty bichon
i'll take it ty
ruby is on painkillers and her hubby gave her gin
what secret club m9?
* blush * congrats ruby!
LOL... just didn't want you furiously typing because someone said 'pinikillers'... everyone is misreading or mistyping this morning!! ROFL
no no. What is lovely is that everybody is so open in here!
Thanks bichon great clue
yvw all
did I do that?
the secret cake club!!LOL
Glad to know I'm useful!! PINIkiller...nice!!! I'll use that when I kill the chog!
(don't lo** now but I think ruby is felling no pain)lol
I'll work on something for you, m9...
wow.. there's a clue in here somewhere????
thx for that 4-ltr fish, jmc...
nothing secret about the cake
take 2 pinilillers and call me in the morn
ty Dr. Crossy!
no, nothing at all secret...
god,i even misspelt that...lol
see what I mean pini? "felling no pain"??
* giggle * (cute crossy)
arg!
y'all are too funny!
pinilillers!! ha!
pb crossy
sounds like interesting women's foundation garment or something...
think i need a gin
pinilillers sound like flowers
still not at half! duh
don't get your pinilillers in a twist!
M9!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wonder what color they are
lots of gin here, crossy
(CAMO BLUE, of course)
shoves crossy in pb* get your gin there
lol pini
Oh, wait, I'm not supposed to join in!!!
pink! of course!
this chog moves very fast -- passing by in a gin blurrrrrrr
NO, NOT PINK!!!!
clearly there is lots of gin at ruby's!
why not pini?
oh yes!
and you are all welcome to share!!!!!
*ponders Pini, prettily posing in her pink pinilillers*
I can't handle that much of that "girlie" color....I'm a cobalt blue girl!
ruby's place, sounds like a speakeasy (but you are all to young to know what that is!)
kind of perfumy for me gin is ,but what the heck..crossy tosses back an iced gin...
maybe some one should put some pillows on the floor around ruby before she passes out
bye all
Dr. Seuss has nothin' on me!@
* wonders who's modeling for m9, cuz it sure ain't me! *
how about purple camo pinillers
sorry pinilillers
Speakeasy...a club where people could go and dance and actually 'speak easy' cuz the music wasn't deafening like today's clubs?
peach-colored silk was what I liked (but I was younger then)
you are just unhappy about the bar we went to last night
I might have to change my name to Pinikiller...instead of Pinikula...almost all the same leter...
hi everyone
hi mom
pinikiller sounds like a triumphant feminist!
glad you made the trip Pini and jmc, love the cake
Hi jmc
{{mom}}
Me too, ruby, but don't we date ourselves with memories of peach silk?
we didn't even go inside...and standing outside the door we still had to try and talk over the music....that was just overkill!
{{Ruby}}
pinikiller,i like it,has a nice ring to it
hi mom...thx ;)

how are you, nef, to change the subject.....
that is still not as bad as the time i had my foot on my key board and hogged the chog for 15 minutes
jmc, I've been trying on and off for about an hoour to get in here; so it isn't all because of your very interesting goof there
glad to be of help *waves from pb*

hello inge!
guten morgen, inge ;)
the cake is a lie
actually accord to sprites profile it is herbs
hallo, Inge
how so dwr?
Hi Inge and dwroehl
no cake is a lie!
herbs...
ok
hi inge and dwr
:) dw
the cake is a lie, dwr is correct.
I just got a cake stand at the second hand store. I was SO happy!
cake is yummy for your tummy!
*poof* dinner
why are you saying cake is a lie?
i think maybe they mean cake isn't the theme, herbs is.
congrats, m9!
enjoy, ruby!
aaahhhh...fading
hi hursh!
jmc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_(v ideo_game)
oh okay they yes herbs is the theme
or dc has another more subtle meaning...
I'll have to ask stidg if our cake is an herb cake!
ok...I"m herbified.
i just provided a link to the source of 'the cake is a lie' :)
dc and dwr were refering to a video game
ohhh "herb" cake... right...gotchya....
very interesting dc
most of those lo** like spices rather than herbs
clue for cl5/14 please
chinese medicinal herbs
so it counts!
also herbified
sorry, ren, don't have it yet
that doesn't say anything about cake being a lie..?
Finally rememberd to change icon! Thanks, people.
a herb is a leaf and the rest of such things are spices
ca8 lily + bathroom in UK
comfrey! nice
oooh, nice clue, hursh!
yes it does if you read futher down the link there is a discussion about how in teh game there is grafitt that says "the cake is a lie"
i thought that was a loo hursh
cl5/14 add vowel to prev 4 (dressed in)
it is...
the game is a ton of fun, and the closing credits are wonderful, and available online
cl 5/14 = add a vowel to the cl4/6
ah. link didn't take me to main page..
and it has all sorts of hidden messages and secrets
ty for ca8 :)
nice to see of you. JMC and Pini, enjoy the meet up {{Hugs to all}}

Hi! Are you going to have breakfast soon?
I feel your pain, jmc!!!!!!!! LOL

STIDG! mornin'!
hey stidg!
How about getting dressed and coming over. My husband is on best behavior--you know what that means.
I may see if I can go find some hot chocolate while the girls are gettin' dolled up...
i dont eat breakfast
congrats, stidg!
this is as dolled as i get unless i go to court
!!! bad jmc!!
(me either)
Would you like to have eggs and bacon with lemon muffins? Tea? Cofee?
breakfast is the best meal of the day
they are getting all dolled up? crumb I'm coming as just plain old me
No breakfast--the most mportant meal of the day--I agree crossy.
what does that mean? i don't have to argue about the military? ;-)
your husband is still asleep?
* zips lips *
ga7: bitter substance + pecan, almond (and pl for 8)
dolled up???
i grew up in the south where breakfast was a religion and i never ate it
ty again hurshy
Nice airplane mcurls. Why? Right. he is willing to drop his harangue. Oh Lord, when he gets going, I gets going too.
ty hursh
hurshy, ty, you're being a big help today :)
that ga7 reminds me of "the african queen"
ok...since people are moving...I'm going to go find a cuppa HC and a comfy chair...(I'll take my lap top so I can keep chatting...)
i thought we were both reasonably well behaved last night
bbs
breakfast is also a religion here as well:)
oh yeah, g + bogey!
stidg it's the plane my son flies on in the air force. i do it to honor his service to our country
ge7: like the noble ga7
very cool mcurl
I had no problem with your behavior jmc, but oh my he was sooooo out of line.
my mom used to cover her eyes and say "have they come to the leeches yet??"
who was out of line?
i found him amusing and enjoyed our discussion
leeches????
if i can't hold my own in a discussion like that i would have to give up my shingle
sounds like I missed a good time!
in "the african queen" hursh
leeches?
i don't remember leeches in the african queen
Anyway, I don't know how your morning is going to unfold. Jmc we don't have a dog and if you want to hang out here we would welcome you. If you want a ride to see some sights, we could do that. I understand you are very capable and your reasoning sound.
mosquitos, i think i remember
i remember now
have to get out and pull the boat
when do they leeches come in?
ohh! it sounds like you guys had an interesting time last night!
Lusty, understated love, African Queen style. Is there a word on the grid from that?
we did and no one deck anyone

LOL
ty for 3 jmc
3??
i am confusled
nu6, baby pecan, almond
please could I have a clue for that upper N for NBT? I can't find a single word for it!
(your little indiscretion jmc)
clue for la6 & la7 please
3? I don't even know why that is on the chog. I did it but my mind was temporarily out of commision.
whoa, ne5!
oh from earlier -- i thought that had been driven out of the chog by now
THANK YOU HURSH!
la6 - soup scoopers
and by gmere's comment perhaps that wasnt' it
la6 - past tense of la4 before it
la7: most tall and thin
good clue hursh...
that's a weird la7, never heard nor seen the wordy without an i before the suffix, ty hurshy
yeah! bugs is awake and there is light
some people are cute
never heard a more true nonsequitar
some people are cats
there is a lot of overlap between these groups
I need the other la6/21 please
few people are cats
my cat thinks the computer is a competitor
i did both... second was past tense of la4
pni? are you there yet?
millions of people are cats!
some people are cats, they're just born that way, they cannot help it.
sorry hurshy did not see the clue will have a look
a fully-la5 balrog
hi, ren, long time, all's well?
*moves a few feet away from hursh*
it's past tense of the la4 that has 3 of the same letter, to be more specific
balrog?
I'm here...found some hot chocolate!!!
jmc doesn't think that cats are people too :(
and dogs
hi dcs, yes all well thanks, hope you are too
bugs is awake and stidgmere has invited us over for breakfast
my cat is a very nice roommate but until she can use the can opener i will reserve judgment
and NEVER dogs
:-P
i am, ty :)
steven hawking can't use a can opener
and stidgmere apparently read stidgpere the riot act
I can barely use a canopener.
touche hursh
balrogs live in middle earth, and one battled Gandalf

shall we descend on the stidgmere/pere abode?
If you would like muffins, eggs, bacon, coffee, assorted fruit, and/or oatmeal, we can do it. Welcome over!
thanks everyone I have found the la6 and la7

people having same icon so confusing
so. you invite everyone else for b'fast but not us?
it's a secret club hurshy!! LOL
hi stid
You weren't here on the chog.
of course, the boys are still asleep... *wonders if sneaking out for b'fast would cause them any concern*
Probably not even awaken them.
leave a note
at their age, likely not, and they can always call if so, stid
probably not... *waffles*
common over stid mama,i have crispy apple wood smoked bacon and big crunchy jumbo bagels with veggie cream cheese or apple jelly and a pan of fluffy scrambled eggs
the boys would prpbably love sleeping in for a day, stid
pini what say you
oh! it's your bacon day! congrats, cross!! *happy mama smile*
Are you saying we should to the Babble Jet to Ontario crossy?
notes do wonders
the boys are okay waking up alone, but I think Tom will stay anyway.
He deserves a quiet morning, too.
but of course
how about mcurl?
apple jelly! sounds heavenly crossy!
still here!
ill throw in some peameal bacon and cheddar as well then
I'll make a list of things that need doing in the garden...
ah, riemann is awake and on his way south, methinks (he is talking to Tom on the phone)
jilly is lurking
Okay with the bacon--never heard of peameal bacon crossy.
peameal bacon?
good morning!
he'll come to our house and hang out with the fellas... Mother is that offer for b'fast still open? Do I need to bring any more of my milk?
good morning, jilli
Hi jilly. Good morning.

hi jilli
No, we have plent of soy milk.

peameal bacon is a lean non-streaky type of bacon sold in a small log form and is cured and rolled in peameal
hi, nef
PINI!!!!
back bacon rolled in cornmeal = peameal bacon
hi jilli!
We also have your cereal, mama.

but the streaks are the goodness
yes, I remember the cereal... I'll be over in a little bit. should I park next door again?
Ah, yes, park next door mama.
hi seain; how's everything?

We thought pini would stay on the chog while drinking her chocolate. Well, I'm going to say good by for now. I have folks coming for breakfast. See you when you get here. We'll call it brunch.
i heard the phone ring :-(
she said she would :-(
bbs; DH informed me I should get dressed soon (someone coming over)

REN: un + take-money-in-exchange-for-goods
that's good!
*pokes nose in to hug good*
had to go sit out in the humidity for a hour long soccer meeting - hair is now unhappy :(
bye all -- we're off to stidgmere's!
<<----cuts own hair.. and styled?? what's that?
*blow-dries hair and re-poofs the style*
ah! you are a curly!?
oops! will be late! LOL *poof for real*
I'm sorry GE.
no, longish and layered
not sorry if you're a curly. just sorry that you're hair is unhappy
it lasted such a short time ...sigh
but WANTS to be curly??
I like humidity hair. Or is that humility hair?
will have to leave that last 1 un6 as I must get ready to go out thanks for all your help x
it hasn't actually frizzed, it just sorta went limp
back
ah! bummer!
my hair loves humidity
su7 - any clues please?
I don't use shampoo anymore.
an ancient way of telling time using the s**
su - time
i don't get my hair done often but a friend of my works at a local shop and cleans it up for me periodicly. we have a party tonight so she said i could stop in later for a fluff.
wait, that sounds bad
ty, cosmo
ty mcurl and cosmo
yw
sunlet
NM,
how nice of her!
we were going to get one of those for the rose garden, lol haven't yet!!
but take that s off Nef!
what do you use M? i only shampoo every other day and condition every day.
when i want to do scalp, i mix a little baking soda and conditioner, massage scalp, rinse with very, very diluted ac vinegar and then condition.
Sometimes I use a little coconut oil
what does the vinegar do?
I found online where someone has made up home recipes to replicate the divachon stuff.. going to try that.
closes the cuticles.
since quitting shampoo, my head never gets oily
yes, shampoo is one of those things the more you use it the more you need it.
I have the book "curly girl" because my 14yo has VERY curly hair. and curly hair is drier.. used to not know what to do with her hair.
And one of the first things said in the book REALLY made sense to me. hair is a natural fiber.. you wouldn't wash your woolens in SOAP every day!
ahh true!
m9, good point about curly hair. Til i learned to moisturize mine, i hated it.
(or even every other day)
I JUST found this: http://www.longlocks.com/hair-care-rec ipes-cookbook.htm
very cool looking site!
let me know if you need tinyurl
have you seen my daughter's hair?
i've not, m9
that website looks great. i'll have to check it out more closely later
and you're my fb friend too seain!!!! shame on you!LOL
http://tinyurl.com/24y9vmt
oh, wait, ty for context, yes i have seen, but had plumb forgot
that kind of shows her hair
LOL.
i know. YOu've even commented on it before.LOL
yes, i really like that picture
lale
it really needs a trim.. sigh.
nope seain
but good effort!
i was going to get mine cut yesterday, but stylist was sick, so next Tuesday instead
I've only really seen your eye...
oh that is curly!
no wait. I"m thinking of george
S*goes to look at 68 photos of seain*

Hi Flosey. Just looking for words and thinking about our friends coming for breakfast. Not too warm a day with a light overcast. Good for walking.
you have very nice hair. it's way darker than your beard.... hmmm.....
yes, stidg, would love to be coming for breakfast too
that's funny.. your link ended with m9!
yes, my beard has turned white just a bit before my hair :)
Next time Flosey. After the harvest is a good time to get away also.
i got mocked at HS reunion last year -- whitest beard
I'll be tied up most of Fall with cataract surgery stid - Oct. and Nov. last appt. Dec.16
I think it's cool!
I'd say our hair is almost exactly the same color
We have next year to look forward to and you will be seeing so much more clearly! I finally got a new prescription for my glasses. I also bought sun glasses which I hadn't had for years. I am enjoying the polarized feature.
mine's a dark brown toward auburn, which never shows well in photos
much lighter than either of my parents, and my sister's a blonde
hey seain, do you know a Clark and Mike out there? Clark is my ummmmm half uncle.
yes stidg - and I have quite a list of books I'll be looking forward to doing more reading
i always call him my cousin bc half uncle is weird

Thanks anyway Alo !
yw, your monkey was faster than my clue, lol
aloy do you have a clue for the middle e? pls.....
yes, the national bird but eliminate the second vowel
el4 is a certain joie de vivrie, add a consonant for an animal
e + slang for girl
eg4 french word for equal
oops, scratch first clue, sorry

milde and olde LOL
yvw.. am finding a bunch of "newbies" in this grid
new babblets?
no, not babblets.. just weirdos (-:
at least, I don't remember seeing them before
80 to go and must hit the road to pick up rescue dog Sylvia, chocolate lab -- later, boys and girls! *poof*
ooh.. you are a foster parent? good for you, Une!
nope, picking her up and bringing her to the person driving the next leg -- destination is Knoxville where a foster will be keeping her while she's treated for heartworms
when she has a clean bill of health she'll be listed on petfinder :-)
oh, I see.. good luck to the choc lab.. and hurray for your help!
aloy, when i foster dogs I end up adopting them -- 3 is my limit! LOL
wow! that will definitely get you into heaven, une!
i love helping with dog transport, ruby :-)
kind heart, Une.. I understand..
Sylvia is a lovely dog name
if you want to watch a heartwarming show about it, watch Animal Planet's "Last Chance Highway"
sigh, we don't get cable
it's on tonite at 7:00 Central -- ok, i'm off! byeeee *poof*
{{une}}
(last comment!! here's the website: http://animal.discovery.com/tv/last-ch ance-highway)
ty, Une.. hagd
di 7, please?
to di**a phone +
lol ( with diff vowel)
start with di4, what you used to do with a telephone, then add **g of lamb, finish with another letter that follows k.. tough to clue
oops! sorry
v strange word but thanks, aloy
ty aloy
one of those "newbie" words I referred to earlier.. new to me, yvw, glad to help
ca 8?
how are you doing, nef?
is it hot there?
sorry -- first ca 8 -- one that starts with a lily?
ca lily + brit slang for bathroom
doing slow, ruby; but still going forward! ;-) It's been a terribly hot and humid summer here
start with the lily and with Water*** was not Napolean's victory
just back to change icon for tonight
isn't that a Caribbean stew?
ty flosey -- strange word!
you deserve huge credit, nef, for your courage!!!!
yes it is, someone clued it earlier
no, ruby; I'm just stubborn! ;-)
nu6?
stubborn is good, I think!
nu 6: diminutive ending to fruit of an oak tree, etc.
nu6 - to rent a nut.
al 6, please?
it can also be stupid, ruby. But we're doing better now and (hopefully) things are improving each day. How's things with you these days?
thx for the nu
al = variation of ge**, the trait you inherit
husband is doing really well, back to walking on his old route (brave man!)
algene
indeed, ruby, that would take courage - the memory would be hard to relive
sorry, wrong box (and nort a word)
he is very stubborn, like a chow chow!
that IS brave! And the dog? Has it been put down or what?
joining flosey in fireworks land.. took a while to find the last un6
wtg aloy
ad6 was my last word
YAY, Aloy!!! WTG!!!
it is still in dog jail and it is up to the mayor to decide. Meanwhile, the owners are trying to get a petition together to save the dog
al 6/18 cannot contain a g and therein lies my problem!
now must run be back tonight at flip
bye flosey
and congrats to you too, flosey. I guess I missed your FW
have to scoot too.. see you all next grid!
please need another clue for that al 6 -- not getting anywhere with the last one
ruby, are many people signing the petition? Have others been bitten or harassed by the dog?
al6 - every scrambled eel.
ty dachef
I don't think they're signing the petition. One of the neighbors came to tell me; she has 3 grandchildren and doesn't want that dog in our village.
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)
I will go to see the mayor(esse!!!) tomorrow to discuss
great clue Dachef.. :)
oh no -- still have one more a! -- the ad 6
YAY, cyber!!! WTG!!
is it fishy?
ad6 - to refute the existence of the twelfth letter of the alphabet.
Good luck, ruby. I hate the idea of putting down an animal; but if it attacks people it may be better in the long run.
again good.. Dachef
well, dachef, I counted to 12 on my fingers, singing "the alphabet song", and still didn't find it!
it has to be put down as it ate what it bit off!
ty dachef -- good cryptic clue
now I have fireworks!
I think a dog like that can never be trusted and it shouldn't be "exported" to another village. Then it's on the mayor if it attacks someone else
Oh, ruby! THAT is bad! I missed that part!]
why was such a beautiful dog abandonned in the first place?
last ga7?
Yes, then it should be put down
it must have a (unknown or undisclosed) history
ga 7: bile + oak tree fruit - then plural
we both love dogs, but this one is scary and, I think, very dangerous. My husband is pretty strong although not very big and it took him right down
thx cyber
any other clues wanted before I leave?
DH is reminding me we have to go to his Aunt Jean's (the 85 y/o who broke both wrists last year and helped me play when she stayed with us). I have to do some work for her today. So, bye for now; BBL
{{big hugs, nef}}
*ppof*
taking your hubby down is really bad. Imagine if it had been a child!
bye ruby
t's what I keep telling him
bye nan
and *poof* for me too
on my way -- bye everyone :)
he is a terrible pessimistic and I keep trying to get him to see the bright side. And I think it has brought the community together
*real poof*
cant find that pesky LE 6/24. It must build off the LE4 before it ?
ad a phonetic untruth to the le4 before it.
Thanks!
hmmm, not getting that le clue ...
le6 - le + friend??
aha! i was adding one too many letters, thax dachef
last un8?
not got that far yet! Hold on.....
un8 - not on a slant.
un8 - if you said it about the tower of Pisa, you'd be wrong.
thansk haz!
No problem, hello everyone, by the way.
lo
thx haz
You're welcome, Shirlock.
hi Haz, hi everyone
Hello, JBV.

Jellen, I'm feeling really well, thanks. No pain-killers needed since yesterday.
That's great!
I know - I'm delighted and very glad to be so well so quickly.
How's your day going so far?
I've slept in yet again, so the day has barely begun. I was feeling a bit lonely, so I came here for company...
A good place to come.
Are you going to bed late and therefore sleeping in or just catching up on sleep?
Heyas kids ..
Heya tor...
Hello. torgone, nice to see you.
Coming to you from beautiful Wichita, Kansas today ..

Hi, tnana
Hello, trents.
Both my middle and last names are in the grid today...Is that an omen?
de 5/16, anyone?
jellen, i haven't had a chance to say how sorry i am for your loss... *hug*
that's funny, jell
and almost jellen too.
I don't know, Jellen. It's not an easy grid, that's all I know.
Thank you hurshy...
and I need the de 4/5 just before the de5/16
de5/16 - to rhyme with Grace, the Monaco princess.
de4/5 --> shop where you get food
The preceding de4/5 drops the sometimes vowel.
anyone have the cl 7./32?
de4/5 - name of a computer company
back
add a vowel tothe cl6 before

ne5 - The Melba Dame
Thanks, Haz...thinking...
And babbler, I forgot to add Babbler to her list of accomplishments.
does she have toast all the tme?
It also rhymes with Grace, the Monaco princess.
clue for the il6?
Only when she's fed up with peach Melba.
il - most in need of a doctor
ty, that's a silly word
I don't know, I imagine it's well used in the World Hypochondriac Contest.
lol, haz
Wouldn't you hate to be in THAT audience?
i'd need a shrink for sure!
Hmmm...I need a remedial clue for ne5. I googled dame melba and came up with Nellie...
Replace those two vowels at the end with a letter that sounds like them.
Hello Babble buddies.
sounds like that..Jelln
Hello, Scrabbler.
Ah, thanks! Didn't see the path there...
Hello, Scrabbler!

I'm quite happy to wave goodbye to it, Scrabbler. Everything has gone well since the op.
the phoenix is ashes! whew!
The female hummer is 3 feet away, sucking nectar from flowers. There are a pair of hummers in the backyard that entertain me with their antics.
Well done, Jellen. It's not the easiest grid in the world.
Does that call for congratulations, lbd?
Haz, I had my GB removed, via a 6 inch slice, 20 yrs ago, before keyhole surgery became the norm. Post-op pain was horrendous.
this was a tedious grid. and thanks for all the great clues, especially HAZ
Hooray for lbd!!!
Congrats Dawger. Tough grid.
You're very welcome, lbd.
ty, ty, ty.
okay here refresh and see me in kenyan garb and my son and a park service guy with a gun to shoot crocodiles
whoo hoo lbd
Poor Scrabbler - I remember my mother having the same op and being in hospital for 2 weeks (1966). I was out the next day, and feeling fine. Hooray for keyhole surgery!
Hazel, I am reading a book by an Irish author, Tana French. It is her 3rd and I lover her writing.
I'm going to celebrate my small victory with a bite to eat.
When was that trip, JM?
this was the entire month of july
I haven't read any Tana French, Scrabbler, but I think I remember you talking about her before.
jmc, do you have any jackets left in XL?
Hi JMC, where are all the babbler meeting today? or is it all over?
yes i do jell and you can order them on line
Her 1st book = In the Woods--great! The 3 books share some characters.
we are meeting in the farmers market in a few minutes
Say hello to all!
oh i so envy you all!
Yes, I like books where you can follow characters grow. Does it give you the urge to travel to this side of the Atlantic?
Great! I'll contact you on FB...

I have always wanted to visit the UK, esp Scotland + Ireland. And now Sark too, since I know about it.
you could do a babbler meet up scrabs
You must plan a grand tour, Scrabbler. You've travelled to Europe before?
In western NY/Buffalo-Niagara region.
Never, Haz. I have led a sheltered life.
jill and i are talking about going to down under
Oh, Babbler mtg in the UK--would be cool.
We'll have to get you over to this side. We're reasonably civilised.
I've been to the UK twice and loved both trips...
More tham most Americans, I would guess. The increasing rudeness here makes me want to escape.
don't believe that scrab... they are all a bunch of rabble-rousers
Hi, kje!
hi jellen!
What, sitting in pubs sucking down ale?
We're genteel to a fault.
*puts on flack jacket and helmet*
brb
UK babblers drink tea wearing twin-sets, pearls and tiaras if it's after 6.
actually, I loved my last trip to london - hit a couple shows, did lots of walking... and it was unusually sunny the entire week
hi kje
I got a box of Kashi cereal out to munch on for lunch and ate half of the box.
hello all
hi kje
Hello, kje.
Oh, my, Haz, I would have to buy stuff just to fit in with you.
I def do NOT believe the twin-set... I suspect nude with pearls
You don't have a tiara?
I sold it at a yard sale, Haz....not.
What did I miss???
neat picture, jmc
l
nothing
I knew the mention of 'nude' would bring Torgone back.
hello all
A tea party in No Ireland with Haz. We are all dressed up, Tor.
Hello, peri.
Hi Peri
lol haz
who is babbling in the nude?
hi peri ty it is the boy, a park ranger and me
Don't look at me.
nor me, Haz
Not much to look at in an airport ..
I am typing the most ridiculous words and all have been rejected.
People watching is the only good thing about airports.
i am not since stidgmere, jilly and stigpere are all here
try not ridiculous words, scrab
gu6 - clues pls.. the one after the weapons..
To the weapons add Spanish 'the'
got it.. tx..
Or, if gu6 started with ha, it would be Gretel's partner.
Or if gu6 began with ti, it would be used decoratively at Christmas.
Willmer in the Maltese Falcon
Well done, Cosmo!
*encouraging monkey to type actual grid words*
tx all.. done.. fireworks..
yay for Cosmo
Hooray! Well done, Cosmo!
Yay Cos!
hi again, folks, I'm popping in and out today
hey there tor!!
yay cosmo
Hello again, JBV.
has nayone heard from NB?
Time to head to Dallas AGAIN .. Then home
Hooray for Cosmo!!!
Heya peri
anyone even, guess he is still on his way to Korea
Torgone narrowly avoided being send to PB for the place name - one vowel different to da6/21.
don't come here, tor - it is HOT
ty haz
ty haz
ty for the da6
You're welcome.
It's HOT everywhere I've been this week! Fortunately I can stay in the airport at DFW ..
Buon giorno, JBV! Come stai?
benissima, scrabbler!
I added an update to my profile, scrabs, for the latest on the family project
you won't WANT to leave DFW, tor... the doors will slide open and it will be like an oven and you'd just turn right back around
My mother's father grew up in Gualtieri Sicamina in Sicily, JBV.
I looked it up on a map once, Scrab - sounds like the same kind of small town as Mezzojuso
My GF came to the US in 1912.
c's done!!! my monkeys deserve some bananas
yay, kje!
Yes, kje!
cuz there are lots of nonword c's... LOTS
please tell me they all begin with either ca or cl
OK, it's time for the list.
yes
there are no cg
but one can never be sure
*will stop typing words starting with cg*
indeed
ad6 please?
Yep, top of the list.
lemonad* + do you remember ***on stockings?
ad plus a vowel, followed by the first letters of a synthetic yarn much used in stockings.
i hear a nap calling me. bbl
ok, 80 left and need a break - bbl
Have a nice one, lbd...
me too lbd... eyes heavy....zzzzzzzzzzzzz
They're fading fast.
You too, kje...
I usually hear chocolate calling me.
Synthetic yarn, huh?
So, did anyone sent a date for the American Babbler invasion of the UK?
2012
As pioneered in two cities an ocean apart, Scrabbler.
The initials of the Big Apple and the first letters of England's capital were used to name the new invention.
Sounds good to me, Scrabbler!
2012 and you can watch the Olympics.
Got it, TY
You're welcome - well done!
It's a biochemistry word.
ai5 please? (109 to go)
ai5 - past tense of a word meaning to be sick.
ai5 - tired, not well
Well, wasn't o.that easy? TY. Apparently I need a nap to
Grr, bloody moving cursor! It randomly moves!
afternoon evening morning all...
I know I need to empty the dishwasher. And then I'll settle down to help the detectives solve crimes.
Hello, red.
Hi, red!
You must get paid well as a consultant, Haz.
Hi red. I was just reading about your race.
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
Haz, Is the Inspector Lynley series still on?
No, it hasn't been on for a while, although they do tend to repeat things eventually.
it was a nice event. just the timing problem, but, it isn't a big deal. I was not in the running for anything even if they had timed it correctly.
I recently discovered it on Netflix...quite enjoyed it...
Just saw ivory elephant item
Is your sister still with you, Jellen?
Yes, slightly different to the standard detective series, isn't it?
No, she left Thursday
Yes, it is different...
hi all
Y's are finally done.
I think this is one of the most difficult periods, Jellen, trying to make sense of what life is going to be like. Be kind to yourself.
Excelletn Scrabbs.
Hi, Boo
Hi Boobear
phone, brb
Okay, that dishwasher is not going to empty itself (James Dyson, are you listening and do you want to invent something useful?) so I'd better do it. Enjoy the grid as best you can. Bye for now!
Bye, Haz, and TY for clues, as always.
You're welcome, Scrabbler. Byee!
Hi Scrabbler
clue for ad 6 please
hello
hi dc
ad + vowel + Big apple abbrev + fashion guy *ves St *aurent
hi seain and Boo bear. I do not have the ad6. I only have 53 words...
Hi Seain. I am so sad about Bunbun.
hi, boo, red, scrabbs
ty, scrabbs. It was shocking, though as i said on FB, not entirely unexpected
I smooch my Netherland dwarf whenever possible and tell him to live forever.
At least quick, likely painless, and no prolonged ailment or decision about euthanasia.
indeed, scrabbs :) He looked like he literally fell over at a full run, so he was hopefully having fun
That's the way to go--quick + peaceful.
ut5 anyone?
NM, easy word.
fut5 to try to clue it
hmm nit getting the ad 6
Got called away by the phone...It was Tim's mom...
ad6 is a radical of the hormone that causes stress/flight (or fight)
Hi, Jellen. That must have been hard.
Lemon*** + Manhattan is part of ** City + Jellen's name has two of these
BTW, i've found that Google Chrome on the Mac is a MUCH better browser than Chrome on Windows
Does she live nearby, Jellen?
She's about 6 hours away...
I tried Google Chrome on my PC--so SLOW. Back to using Firefox on netbook + PC.
They're planning a memorial gathering for Tim on September 11th...
that was my experience with Chrome on PC, too. But on Mac, it's the bomb
He was a m, Jellen?ilitary man, right
Strange, I use Chrome on my laptop with no problems...
Boobear, any success with ad6 yet?
may be very sensitive to configuration, then. Glad it's working for you, jellen :)
scrabbler I am not getting it either I know you are trying to clue NY, but N and y are not next to each other.
scenes from an auto wreck on 5 Jan 1921 in Washington, DC: http://tinyurl.com/2fag6d8 not gorey, and includes a picture of same intersection today.
Sort of, Scrabbler...he served in the Navy 4 or 6 years...
Upper left corner, Red.
hola
ahhhh!
bienvenida, feather
Hola, mia amiga
i am feather of all trades this week! finished my railing.
found it thanks Scrabbler.
i am also a slightly spray painted feather.
Hi, feather!
jellen, do you use paypal?
Yes, feather
Haven't in a long time, though...
awesome. we've got some leftover funds, so i'm going to split them between you and a donation to melanoma.org. that's the correct one, right?
That's it!
cool. i'll try to do that this weekend
Sounds good
FIREWORKS!!
congrats, trentsnana
Yahoo tn!
Congrats trentsnana
Hooray for tnana!!!
yay nana!
Jellen, one of my med school classmates, when doing his Dermatology residency, diagnosed himself with melanoma. He died within a year.
It's a cruel disease!
wow scrabs, that's rough
nick's beside me, heating up my arm. poor boy has a fever on his mommy and me day.
It's an aggressive and sneaky cancer.
*sending healing vibes to Nick*
((nick))
oh, hope nick feels better soon
It's time for me to get ready for the rest of my day...Going to the library, then to a church dinner with a friend...
enjoy, jellen :)
tc jellen hope you have a good time
88 to go. My eyes + brain = fried. Time to give bunnies their salads and go for a bike ride to/in the park before rain hits.
((hugs)) to all...*poof*
sound like fun, scrabbs
scrabs, help me reassure my mom, a fever of 102 isn't too bad as long as i keep fluids in them and it comes down with tylenol, right?
in him
Even if you told me 104 I would not be worried. Higher temp does not = more serious illness.
thank you! going to quote you to her, lol
clue for al 6 please
Fever = our friend that helps the army fight the bad guys. Keep him hydrated + comfortable.
al6 is a variant gene, or a variation of a gene
*fighting
Any other symptoms, FB?
Oh, I typed it right the first time
not really, just tired acting. clear runny nose. i'm not too worried myself, but i was talking to mom and she said "oh, no! isn't that terribly high?" i said, well, i have my pediatrician friend right here, i'll double check! LOL
he was a little warm this morning, and was laying down a bit more than normal. it wasn't till i took him out of his nap that i noticed he felt very warm. gave him some tylenol, will make him grilled cheese in a few. frankly, as long as he's not throwing up, i'm happy! making sure he drinks.
anyway, thanks for helping me to reassure mom!
hope NIck feels better FB
hello folks
As long as he will respond OK. If he is very lethargic to point of no eye contact, then I would be concerned.
hiya peri
OK, off I go. BBL.
oh, no, he's chattering to me about the game he's playing right now. tired, but normal.
bye! thanks.
en5/22 pls
hmm I am stuck on al 5
which al5?
which al5?

narrow path behind a house?
narrow path behind a house?

thanks for caring
Hello everybody. Hey, Shdy - everybody must be deep in the grid :-)
DC, if you are still on, I was sorry to hear about Bunbun's passing.
Shdybr8... Are you there?
Oh my! I feel like somebody who has been left alone in another person's house. I hope nobody catches me rifling through the drawers ............
i'm vaguely here as i finish up...if that makes you feel better
Ooooh... I wasn't looking at personal bank statements, they just fell into my hand....
haha
Nice to see you Brid. I was getting very lonely. :-)
hiya
i'm stubbornly working through the grid. We're not quite getting along today, but i'll all turn out. eventually.
Actually, I am after getting quite a few. Its amazing how many words you can get when your not distacted by the chog!
lol!
hi Soodle and brid
And then there were three!! Hi Boo :-)
haha, hey boo
brid,have you been playing babble long
years
and with this board, it totally feels like it
yes
LOL
i'm mostly quiet.
I lured her out of her quietness, Boo.....
good
I haven't played in a long time.I am so busy with other things. I could hardly remeber how and it came back
Its like riding a bike, Boo.
its addicting
super addictive
Where in the States are you guys?
I am in New York
maryland.
hi, i'm back. And i'm in Northern Virginia
yay ny lol
and you Soodle
brid, do you know of the babble meet-up in PHilly on the 11th of Sep?
I have been to New York, but never Maryland. Nice to see you DC, and my condolences on the passing of Bunbun.
hi, soodle, how goes?
thank you, soodle :)
you might as well think of me as DC
Boo, I am about 30 miles outside of Dublin, a place called County Meath.
for transcontinental purposes
Bun-bun passed, and i now have a new computer white as the bunny was.
oh
yeah, i'm DC too for all purposes.
must be a mac?
indeed it is, kje
Oooh. I love getting a new computer. I got a new net-book 3 short months ago, and dropped it last week. It will cost me about €200 to get it fixed, and I only paid €250 for it. I am very very annoyed.
dc, so sorry to hear about BunBun
thank you, peri
Hello Peri. :-)
this is the 1st computer i've purchased.
I do not like C words
so, the only new one i've had for home use.
hi all...good morning from Korea
Good morning all. Sorry about your little loss DC
hi, NB :)
hello, lyn, and thank you
i'm sorry for you loss. and congrats on your purchase. all in one.
{{{{{Nancy}}}}}. You are alive!!!
hi ther NB was asking for you eaerlier. how was the trip?
thanks, brid
hi NB - How is it going? you are not in fatigues I hope
and i'm through. and heading out. unless anyone wants a clue before i go?
So, NB, how did the reunion go?
Congrats Brid!
Yay for Brid!!!!
Brid, thanks for saving me from talking to myself, btw!
thx
and i see i'm leaving you with tons of chatty people. so you're in good hands.
hi all!! Oh Soodle, the reunion will be later on today - I only arrived yesterday. A bit confused about days and times, since I've had two days with no night!
bye guys! gl with the grid
bye Brid
{{{{{NB!}}}}}}} what great timing - glad to see you!
Nancy, you will be grand. I am delighted you arrived safely.
be well, brid
i hope they're as gracious in receiving you as i know you will be on meeting them again, NB
will be thinking of you later today, NB
hello, JBV!! Lovely to see you too - it's nearly 7AM here, but I woke up at 5 and couldn't get back to sleep. So nice to find some friendly faces here...:)
will be thinking of you later today, NB
aw, thank you Seain!
en5 pls
you have your "network" behind you, NB - the invisible force
So, whats the plan, NB. Do you just arrive on their doorstep, or is there an event planned?
peri, add what's overhead out of doors
en & *** Maria - a liqueur
May the Force be with Nancy Boy...
ty dc
ty lyn
thank you, JBV :) I feel that!
ga 5/14 anyone?
yes, please do check back later or tomorrow so we know how it went, NB
Oh, arriving straight out of the blue, Soodle! I don't think they'll believe I'm alive unless they see me.
plural of the horse walk, ruru
Ruru, plural of the ga 4/6
have you been out and about at all? or just straight from the airport to wherever you are
no the second one?
brave, NB, and gives you the element of surprise to leverage their hospitality :) so a tad sneaky. i approve
got it
tough grid, imho
You couldn't organise a spy-cam, hidden in your button, or something, could you, Nancy. I would SO love to witness the whole thing. I just know it is going to be very very positive!
oooh, that would be fun, soodle
ohhh, not really JBV - I arrived at about 4PM yesterday and spent a lot of time getting lost on my way from Incheon airport to Seoul ;) Had a nice chat with a friend over msn, which was good because I keep feeling very overwhelmed and lonely. *taking out violin*
ga 7 / 40?
well traveling alone is a bit lonely in general so that's not unusual, NB, glad you have your computer to be connected
returning there after all this time must have been completely overwhelming
Nancy Boy!! You Are Not Alone. The Force Is With You.
ga7.40 -- same root, but sometimes you feel like ***, sometimes you don't
ga7.40 ga**stone & wal*** or pea***
haha, Soodle! No, no spycams...don't think anyone wants a close-up of my great aunt leaning in to pinch the blood from my cheeks ;)
yes, we're all pulling for you, NB
and you need some transition time - for the time lag, culture sshock, - what about the language NB?
ty dc, new words for me. lots of new words today
thank you lynxxx
wow, level-billing of 101/mo for electric.
the hot, hot Summer after the cold, cold Winter takes its toll!
hi everyone, can anyone help with the "n" in the top row?
whoa, ne5!
whoa ne5
thank you, all :) I appreciate it...everyone's been very nice
duh!
back soon
Where are you staying Nancy, an hotel, hostel, what?
ge 7?
nu6?
like a previous ge6/7 but double the middle consonant
ge7.36 like ga7.36
thanks you two
oh, my experiences here have taught me that hostels have no air con, Soodle, so it's a hotel for me! The coolest it gets at night is about 25C, and it's so humid - I can't survive here without air con!
these g's are killers
nu6 a small nu*
oh, it's warm there like it is here, then. Good to know. Never visit Korea in the Summer, noted.
well shoot, i can't get the ne5, whoa!
And, (as Stiddie would say) Stern Mama look ' Are you eating'?
nu6 perhaps they go with bananas to make a nice cake?
ne5 is also an old-fashioned girl's name
like a horse call jenmo
what you would say to a female horse that was going a zillion miles an hour to stop her
Jen, think Ms Olsen, from The Little House on the Prairie...
Laura Ingalls arch enemy perhaps?
Ha Meliae - great minds, eh?
Hello everyone
ty
oh yes Seain...summers here are just disgusting!
and lynxxx... it is still in the other room ; )
lol
that can wait until later, Soodle ;) been too nervous to be hungry so far. Just feel like I need a lot more sleep, but that's not happening any time soon ;)
are you still in bed!
got it, thanks!
well... back on the bed anyhow
Oh for heavens sake, NancyBoy. Will you eat something... You don't want to be fainting on the relatives doorstep, do you?
di7?
NB, never visit Washington, DC from May to Sep, then :) if you don't like that weather
extend the telephone di4
studied, ate mexican for lunch, put me into a food coma, woke up and remembered i needed to finish babble
sounds like a good day, kje
I have been trying that as well Dc and cant monkey it, the DI 7 that is
Use the telephone, and allow, RuRu
Hi Kje.
hello all again, I apologize for my complete drop off chat, I fell asleep.
Ugh, sounds like your summers are as long as those here, too, Seain! We need a thunderstorm to clear the air...
clear the air and raise the humidity, NB - - i know the pattern well :)
wb, red :)
(as a bonus - it's monsoon season here!)
20 left - this is a challenging grid
di7.32 di & roads that run the same way are par*****
this grid is taking me longer than the 300+ one the other day
happily, we lack monsoons here, and we've gone 2 years w/out a tropical storm, and 8 w/out a hurricane
same here, mel
thanks lynxxx.. I got it wwith a2z wordfinder
Red, You did NOT fall asleep. You had a Power Nap! (sounds much better!)
glad i didn't start it then
the boob is in the house!
oh dear, just had to restrain myself from typing something embarrassing that i would have regretted!
nb ho are things going?
go for it, weed... what is life without regrets!
you can say it, we don't mind a laugh
oh I don't know Seain, rain the heavy is kind of fun!
lol, naaah, it involved shimmying and such. things going wanga wanga. too many male eyes in here for all that!
hahahahah Feather
hey Red! Alright so far, but I only got here late yesterday afternoon - it's now 7am and I'm going to see my family today
you must update us!
wanga wanga? we have a town called Wagga Wagga - is it the same thing?
wanga wanga?
In the words of an old Kris Kristoffersen song 'I'd rather be sorry for something I've done, than for something than I never did'.... (Soodle intends to have this on her gravestone..)
doubt it!
wanga wanga, awwoooooga!
us?
Without the typos, of course...
this must be some kind of code word between doug and weed
lol, nah, not really
yay!! nancy's in korea!!
will do, Red :)
just me being goofy.
hi wild.
Feather to Doug.. do you want to wanga wanga?
nm
hi
hey, Wild! that I am :)
LOL, now THERE'S a come on...
nervous?
I learned of rain when i lived in Boston; it can be nice
on a scale of one to ten of nervousness, Wild, I'm at roughly a million...;)
gotta go do bathtime. me and the girls are outta here.
understandably, NB
uno
Is Nick any better, Feather?
bye Feather
you're going to be fine. just be yourself no matter what
fever's going down. he's perking up.
Yay! Good for Nick. Hope he is right as rain tomorrow.

Going downstairs to wait for my friend...see y'all later!
I stopped drinking to help me with weight loss and I just never started again.
ty lynxxx
see you Jellen
bye Jellen
My lips touch no alcohol. Good for diabetics
but I am still chunky!
has anyone used - us as an ending?
only one so far to
Yes, an has that end
oh yes , besides that
no others that actually worked... at least not yet
hmm i am not having success with my oven baked pork chop :(
me neither - have one that starts with it though
cheese and pork don't work TO
?
The parmigiano
i make pporl cutlet parmigiana often, i never use more than a sprinle oif cheese ever
hate lots of cheese
.. hmm.. maybe that would work.. hasn't ever worked for me cheese and pork
better than chicken, more humane than veal
I don't eat veal
i do rarely. too hard to get good veal anymore
does anyone else keep seeing "dilletante"?
yes..
I'm not seeing much of anything now
except words I've already gotten
42 to go...
need a nap.. see you all later
well all of a sudden my chops are not browning in the niddle. perhaps warped pan. will be forced to finish in broiler of fry pan
see you ruru
nrk, marc cohn is oct 8
would like to go... definitely
that was the concert I had in mind when I decided to skip the red bank date
theatre is 20 min from my home - is that too far?
did you hear what happened at Swell Season concert the other night?
not too far at all
good bars and restaurants too
no!
up in Saratoga... there was an old building right behind the stage (outdoor concert, I guess)
and some guy climbed up to the roof and jumped off and killed himself
landed on the stage next to Glen Hansard
in middle of concert
OMG
oh geez! was it an accident though, surely he didn't jump
I'm pretty sure it was suicide
that's what all the news reports were saying yesterday
boy that le4s itself to some bad jokes
the guy got up from his seat in the middle of the concert, went to the roof, jumped/fell
bizarre
very nasty, usually people in that frame of mind don't want an audience
well, I think Glen Hansard thought it was a joke at first
maybe drugs played a part
it's always possible the guy was very high or drunk, and lost his footing, but all the reports kept saying suicide
geeze thank god for books and babble, nothing on tv tonight
oops oven is calling out - later
see ya
bye TOwl
i had no books now i am backed up with three and another i want after hearing author on fresh air today

good night, mom. hagn

pam the author was on fresh air today,, saying he made the trailer because nodoby reads anymore and he needed to bring his book to the fore
Interesting...
he teaches writing and lament sthat everyone wants tobecome a writer, but no one want to read. but watching the trailer, i don't tink you can believe a word he says!
*lurk*
I know--i think he's a performance artist!
*hi, lurker*
hi welk, lurk no more!
checking out how this works on an ipad ... a bit different than on a pc
hey lurker!
he also said people come up to him and say- "oh- you're that author who can't read!" LOL
(can't scroll through chat log - and can't play flash games like word challenge or letterbox) - no one tells you these VERY important things! LOL
do you have ad6 by any chance?
lol, TO
a + refute a charge + consonent
uh oh. ty
yw
is the refure a charg its own word?
yes, de4/7
ty
hey to, dying to have someone care that i exist
Y'know, I was just thinking: Thank God shdybr8 is in my life!!
wow, guess not
hey sh8d
how're things going, out in shdy-land?
shdy!!
hi again, everyone!
some sh6dy goings on
geeze i hope the new babble has last correct word added feature
Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
hi Min
please tell all to take care of my dogs
hi min! well folks i am tired of this, may be back later
Goodbye 72 Temple Owl. Maybe I will see you later on.
can some one clue da6 before i go pls?
like the city in Texas Owl with a different last vowel
shsybr8 - is something wrong with your dogs?
hi all
Hello periwinkle! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
hi, periwinkle
hi peri
hey lbd, need a friend today
i'm always your friend, shdy. what's up?
bad, bad week, life sucks
(((SHDY)))
ye second 5/14 pretty please
calling constable to be there when supposed love of mu life gets his things
sorry that you are having a bad week shdy
sorry that you are having a bad week shdy
ye5.14, jewish gossip, usually with a different vowel at the end
no big deal, i guess, hoh
ah shdy, that's too bad things couldn't have turned out differently.
nonetheless, it still hurts.
shdy8: i lost my childhoos sweetheart after 25 years to a younger woman.
i can't leave my house, so darn irritated
it hurts plenty
why can't you leave your house?
i have to call cops to have my supposed "best freiend" get his things
he knows how to break in
he's not stalking you is he? and having the cops there is for both of your protection
have you changed the locks and added other security?
i will have the police for my safety, he threatened me and called me the c word
i changed locks, i stop back door
he was supposed to be my best friend
oh dear. I'm so sad for you. i hope he gets the help he needs to get his life back in order
under what circumstances do you call your best friend the c word
i'm sorry to say, he apparently needs help in understanding what a best friend is.
just not having a good week\
take a deep breathe, wrap your arms around yourself and give a strong squeeze...that's from me to you.
i went to the bank today, cancelled our joint account
changed my automatic deposit to my account
that's a good id4. you need to separate yourself from his circle. I know it is painful, but you have to protect yourself.
i own this house, he does not, today i fixed the bank
i don't need an idiot in my life
you need to put a restraining order on him too.
i will, i called the people who come over when he uffcomes to get his stuff, (constables), plammed it out
yes, what dawg said, shdy
coming in alte, I'm sorry for your situation shdy
hi dc.
hello
hi tnc
they will come and have guns and stuff without me getting in trouble
do let us know if there's anything we can do shdy
love you dc, big hug, how goes it?
hi lbd
oh sure, DC gets the hugs! lol
honestly, was considering shooting dogs, then me, because nobody listened (not here, my family)
hey babblers and babblettes!
shydy please be careful
hi stiddles
please take care of your self shdy
*gentle hugs for shady*
i'm alright, ty. I hope things look up soon, shdy
why
wb, stid
hi all.
stiddles - did you get your package?
hi, m9
I had this idea that I would go lay down, Gage would join me, he'd fall asleep and I could play babble unharassed.
he came, put me to sleep and left me there..
nice try, m9
I don't know -- didn't get to the mailbox the last couple days. Will check on Monday when it is open.
jellen got hers
there. NBT finally.
LOL m! good for Gage!
down to 168...
oooh. got TWO 8s!
shdy, how recent are all these events?
shdy, cuz we love you!
hi stiddy! still have babbler meeting over there?
thursday
no, we are going to reconvene in an hour to have the lovely cake... and then slowly begin dispersing to the various parts of the globe again.
i want to die
ah, not too long ago then. have you called and talked to anyone?
{{{shady}}}
give everyone a hug from me!
no
things will look up again, shdy, if not as quick as one likes
shdy, don't die. i'd miss you something awful!
shdy, we believe you.
it sounds like you're doing all the right things as far as taking care of practical matters, but you also need to do the right things to take care of emotional matters. find someone to talk to, or talk to us.
i have not spoken to anothe person in about 5 days, that's why i come here
sounds like some pretty disfunctional stuff going on. But it also sounds like you are the kind of person that can rise above this!
shdy! you have my email, you can always contact me!
i am seriously considering shooting the dogs, then me
and I'll give you mine if you want!! we mathies gotta stick together!
don't you dare!
is there anyone you can sit with and talk with? i mean, we're here for you, but it's different to be one on one
i won't leave them alone
they need you as much as you need them.
that's why i'll take us both out
let them pull you through it, rather than cutting their wonderful lives short. (not to mention yours, but i think appealing to your heart about your dogs is more important right now)
NO!!!
no feather, there is no one
would you call a hotline suicide number?
they have pulled me through the last 16 years
Shdy there is no one in this world worth taking your life over
there is also no one worth living for
and let them pull you a little further, shdy.
*agrees with SeaSpray* YOU are worth living for.
brb
*agrees with stid and dawg and seaspray*
i tried to call friends, they didn't answer
call them again
BULL! you are worth a lot! and you know it! stop this nonsence talk. Shdy, we all love you and you need to get some help thru this crisis.
why bother
because, you aren't done here.
you can call 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK to talk to someone
i can shoot the dogs, then me, no big deal
not fair to the dogs or to you or friends or family. or us
bother, if only because WE care.
agrees with everyone and holds out a hand to shdy, I don't know you but I feel that you are in pain, but please reach out for help
because you can't let this guy have that much power. that's why.
because there are people who care about you!
i wont leave the dogs, they are all i care about
shdy, it really bothers me that you would say that. not only that you would say you would shoot you, but to imagine that you're in a place where you'd shoot your dogs, which i know you love. you're in a very deep place right now. it seems like there's no way out. you need to talk to someone that can help you find a way out.
then pour your love and energy into them. let them help you heal
have you been out of the house in the last 5 days?
Then you shouldn't want to hurt them either, shdy. Please think about this.
it's a huge deal. picture their faces when you shoot them. the first one might not realize, but imagine the second one's confusion and mental pain.
yes, m9, i left the house today to regain my bank account and get the jerk off of it
then keep going, shady. KEEP doing things to keep that person from being in control. YOU are in control, and as long as you hang on, you remain in control.
life is always full of ups and downs. nothing ever stays the same. nothing ever stays perfect for long. you're in the middle of a gigantic down right now. the worst in your life, it sounds like. it WILL get better. not today, not tomorrow, but at some point. that's the natural ebb and flow of life.
get you paybacks to him, by living and finding more to live for. He is out of your life, now you can take control of it again.
i walked about 3 miles and argued for what i wanted
good for you!!
i never let anyone take advantage of me
but you are now.
you're letting your reaction to what he did take control of your decision making.
is there a minister/church you can go to and talk with a clergy?
i have lived with severe depression since i was about 10, i am used to it
you are taking logical steps to stay in control of your life, to do what you need to do.
yes, stid, i know what i need to do
Then you need to get on with your life and show the jerk that you are in control and he is NOT!
there's someone out there who needs that kind of fighting done for them. You could really help someone else. Don't just take all that away while you're in a funk.
shdy, the key work in your last comment is LIVED. It's the most important one!!
then you know this is a cycle, and as low as you're feeling, it will cycle thru. You also know you need to get some counseling, and talk this out with someone
I have also dealt with depression. It will get better again. Are you eating anything, shady? when I am in trouble I tend to not eat well and that makes things harder.
shdybr8, are you on medication for the depression?
also, are you getting sleep?
you are right, lbd, but i'm considering my time with you to cover my "necessary" counseling
Hi, all...((shdy))
no, i don't eat, i don't sleep, i don't take medication
hi miss jellen, <<Big hug>> I love you
eating and sleeping are important
shdy, you need to call a hotline. it's free. they won't judge you. they'll help you see a way out, other than the one you're thinking of.
yes what stid said. I've struggled with depression since I was about 5, eating makes a huge difference
i think i've lost about 20 pounds in the last few weeks, damn, I'm hot
http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/depres sd.htm Start by looking here.
Shdy, if we were having a session right now, i'd be feeding you pasta, and taking your pulse. as well as discussing how you were dealing with all this
http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/
go read the 7:36 link.
well, best thing is the crazy number of hummingbirds right now
shoot, 7:46
I am concerned that your physical health is impacting you, shady -- if you are not taking care of your body, then you have a much more difficult time with everything. At least, I do.
hummingbirds are good karma! always busy, keeping in time to the rhythms of souls
I love hummingbirds! What kind do you have down there?
we have them here as well shdy, I taught my 2 year old granddaughter to say hummingbird last week
we have mostly rufous hummingbirds, some are year-round residents.
that's gotta be cute sea!
stid, i spent the last 6 weeks trying to get fixed, so no, not happy physically
hello all
hi Jilli!
Hi jilli
Hi, jilli
shdy. go read my link. please. http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/
fixed... is that slang for drunk?
Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
the year-round hummers are Anna's Hummingbirds, in the Victoria BC area anyway.
we have little green ones, and red throated ones, and basically they are going crazy in my yard, i love it
stid, lovely scarves!
I just learned that the spanish for rufous hummingbird is "Zumbador rufo" -- I like that better!
thanks LBD
oohh shdy, do you have a camera?
Zumbador -- lovely word!
hey jill
hi jilli!
*more gentle hugs for shady*
shdy, do you have anything healthy to eat in the house?
m9, was thinking of putting a camera right by the feeders
shdy, I'm glad you love hummingbirds.
that would be so cool shdy! I'd love to see them!
that is a great idea! I bet you could get some excellent pics that way.
shdy. read my link. please. at least go take a quick peek at it, you don't have to read the whole thing. just look. http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/
when i get a chance i will, and yes, i do eat healthy food
one time, years ago, I managed to get an amazing picture of a hawk that was by my goldfish puddle... I think it was a sharp-shinned hawk. Not sure where the pic is now.
Iknow there's zumbadors around here.. but I never see them
but are you eating healthy food LATELY?
i bet the little green ones are calliopes
our colorful birds are the stellar's jays.
i'm not looking feather, just because i'm grumpy
oh, I haven't seen a calliope in years! they are so sweet...
will you at least copy and save the link? please?
We have those jays too, m9
OH! shady -- on Thursday, I saw TWO pileated woodpeckers in my backyard! They are HUGE...
that is a good website, feather.
we get calliope's in june, and then they migrate to parts unknown
yes, dammit, stid, i have one callipe, he is dark green as hell, i also have a ruby throat
A calliope is something other than a musical device?
what's a calliope?
I'll have to google calliopes...
shdy. i care. very much. please let me know you'll either copy and save my link, and look at it later, or that you'll call a hotline. please.
for god's sake, come here, there are 10 or so running around
i have pliated woodies, downy woodies, mourning doves, stellar jays, osprey, eagles, american robins, chickadees, and a billion other birds up here. even a ring necked pheasant!
Oh, the calliopes are georgeous
calliope's are hummingbirds
We have all of those except for an eagle
jellen, i sent you an email if you're sto;; jere
i just googled, they don't live where i do, and i grew up with tons of hummingbirds
ah, I see the calliope is another type of hummer
still
brb
the photos of them are pretty, though
I am, Luwanda
http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/ in case it went too far down the chog.
no stellar jays here on the east coast
gee LBD, you have me beat!
Hummingbirds like my buddleia bushes
We have goldfinches though
I know you are all talking about birds but I has a hummingbird moth in my butterfly garden!!!
evening everyone
shady, I would LOVE to visit you, and see the birds -- and hang out with you!
we had a pheasant here which had escaped from a farm and wandered al over the place. We called him Phred. He kept calling for a mate but there weren
and evening grosbeaks too
Hi, Magyk

Is anyone watching the football game?
go jill go!
shdy. i know you're hoping i'll stop pestering you and go away. the only thing i want from you is that you'll at least save that link for when you think you might want to look at it. i'm going to keep posting it till you either tell me off or tell me you've got the link copied. http://www.metanoia.org/suici de/
well, please give the prince and princess kisses from me...
that sounds er interesting, stiddles!
Hi, lil*monkey

Hi lil*monkey!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
not watching football -- just listening to the snorus chorus here in the htole room, lol!
and I just posted a few pics from yesterday and today on the picasa thingy online. I'll put a link in my profile. Hold on...
No football here!
thanks, feather, i have not spoken to a human in 3 days
oy! perhaps I should have stayed away?
would you like to skype?
lol jilli...you on vacation?
Hi, PAV
hi minver and everbody
we are human shdy - even if we seem purely cyber... we're a bunch of nice humans
no, i would like to drop dead
hi lil'monkey - haven't seen you in forever!
Hello PAV3!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
i know. but in the meantime, would you like to call and talk with me?
hey PAV
seapray, a group of us babblers are gathered at stid's hometown for a couple of days of fun
WHAT SHDYBR8?????????

seriously.
seriously.
Oh, how wonderful! I hope you are having a wonderful time!
seriously, shady.
oops. sorry.
shdy, you can make it through this
and seriously, do talk with feather.
how
well, first, are we friends on facebook?
would be a good move
no
one day at a time
Hi Babble buddies on holiday! I wish I was there.
what did i miss? what is wrong with shdy?
I know...sometimes it's easy to think.. "things would be just SO much easier if I just didn't exist." but there really is happiness to be had in the future. there isn't any to be found in not existing.
Yes shdy, please call feather
Hi, saanichcat
SAANICH!!! ((((hugs and hugs and hugs))))) how are you feeling? I totally wish you were here.
Hey shdybr8. Missed your entrance but what's going on w/you?You don't seriously want to do that do you?
i'm heather mac. i'm friends with many babblers, see if you can find me that way? or tell me how to find you. then i'll tell you my top secret agent skype name, lol
Hi jesdragggon! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!
Hi saan! we wish you were here too!
shady, we ALL care about you.
hey jes
don't know how, just gonna go
evening all
Hello saanichat! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!
hey dan.
waaaaiiiiit!
No, don't go!
Hi, dan
shady no man is worth killing yourself over
what is wrong, shdybr8?
would you post your real name in your profile for a second, long enough for me to find you?
shady, what peri says is true.
Stid, Ill email you. In the meantime fun (as you any of you need any urging! Off now for a while but gack later.
Hello dan2bit!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
shdybr8, please stay in the chog, don't go
thanks saanich. see you later.
shady even though you don't see it, there really is always hope... you need a little help right now, that's no big deal... but get help, don't isolate
dawg, are you friends with shdy on facebook/
shdy, please try to call your friends and family again
e-mail would probably make finding her easier. there's too many duplicates when it comes to finding someone by name.
lealed
sorry about that. Gone now for real!
is ANYONE friends with shdy on facebook? so i can find her?
Do U think we need to do for shdybr8 what someone did for zoozzoom the other day?Is this really serious?
i can't figure it out, minver...
zooz had a problem?
does anyone know shady's name?
Shdy, it's important that you listen to featherbee.
I do not want to overstep boundaries,but also do not want something really awful to happen either.
shdy, another babbler was feeling suicidal not too long ago on here. he hadn't eaten or drank for 4 days. someone from babble ended up alerting the authorities where he lived, and they went to check on him. now, unless you want us to start considering that, go the easy route and let me find you on facebook!
i googled her babble name...she is also on community at king.com if that helps..
Found her on facebook
yay jellen!
and on yahoo games with that handle
This all started at about 6:52 in the chog

shdy is this the same guy who was living with you before
shdy. you asked for help. we're trying to help you.
shdy, guess this shows how many friends you really do have! granted we're all cyberfriends, but friends all the same. we're a pretty tight community here.
Shdy, I don;t want to overstep any boundaries, but if you can phone featherbee or someone, I'd gladly pay whatever the call costs - you're very important to us.
fine, love you lbd, ruru, feather, yes, same dick i don't play around
a fallow field is usually un8 for the season
shdy, it sounds like you're pretty angry. And I can understand that. You may have to hang onto that to get yourself through whatever you have to get through with this guy. But it really is ok to let Heather in.
Shady, I sent you a quick note through facebook.
christine, skype is free, if she uses it.
well it is good you got rid of him finally .. that's my thinking
And think of this - why give that bugger the satisfaction of thinking he caused this much paiun --- stand up to hi, we've got your back.
look, goddammit, i have been dealing with being called a c word
i'm NOT a person who likes to talk on the phone. i don't even like to call to ask what time a store closes! so for me to have offered to have you call and talk to me says something. you can tell me all the crap that's been happening. i'll listen.
fine, feather, whats the number
That shows you how classless he is
I've never used skype, but I figureI can give up a few magazines ina good cause.
do you use skype? i'll put my name in my profile for you, one second.
i use a phone
I need to leave, but I know that you are in good hands, shady.
a c word is so limited, he certainly doesn't have much of a vocabulary, he could have called you an exponent or a prime number! *wink*
hang on, i'll put my phone number in there then.
later, stiddy. don't forget to give everyone a hug from me!
he called me something i wouldnt call an enemy
ok, go see.
I will, LBD.
Shady, we love you.
*poof*
can anybody clue the ca7 and the 2 x ca8?
i know shdy, it isn't a nice word and it still shows his limitation in expressing himself. you aren't what he called you!
add a british toilet to the ca5 lilly for one ca8
Shdy, I put my number in my profile, too...let me know after you get it...
tx dcs
ah lbd, heading the crudade for folks to use more imaginative cussing.LOL
ca7 like the ca4.6 + french feminine ending like a southern b****
mental floss, lots of fun quizzes
call either one of us. i won't be hurt if you call jellen instead of me, and i'm sure vice versa.
I like mental floss!
got 'em lbd tx
thanks for that one lbd!
ty, dawg
don't forget the plural m9
oohhh, thanks again!
and we all collapse!
in relief
ag5!!!! so cool to see that word!
shdy, did you get our numbers? can we take them down?
the shoelace thingie?
yes. there's a whole phinneas and ferb thing about it
i almost missed that shoelace word!
ditto, ty m9
callme jellen cant find the darn phone 2257722052
poooof
jellen, let me know if you got that, if not, i'll call
got it
awesome, thanks.
on the
phone
:D yay!

love ya, shdy!

whew has this been a bumpy week
no kidding
can I talk about how depressed I am that our professional football team out here is really awful?
but ru you don't support the redskins
i'm now reading stuff on funnyordie.com, and listening to a song called 99 words for boobs. it's all kje's fault.
<3 <3 <3 are with Shdy and Jellen! And Feather!
I ran screaming from the store when the clerk gave me 49 cents in change
can I get an ad6 clue? and seconded, jmc :-(
a + not let someone have some thing + a consonant
i just finished the ad's!LOL I think one is a mine opening.
and the pl of that.
but the 6 sounds like aspirin for things in your throat near your tonsils..

Hello ardilla! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
no everyone is changing clothes
hi minver

take the last ferry from crofton you can meet me at the station. . .

now carol burnett is GOOD:))
LOVE carol burnett fellow texan
probably will come back after the flip
http://tinyurl.com/yhkrelk carol burnett outakes
(((ardilla))) see you soon I hope.
hey again feather and cross!
bye ardilla
we had bacon on your (crossy's) honor this morning...
nite nite all...happy babbling
it lo**ed good too
i've been here, just not doing the grid. kind of flipping back and forth between chog and other stuff.
now we are discussing ferries
feather i am gl** you were here
Goodbye ardilla! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!
i'm stubborn, i am.
Feather, you might want to call shdy, too...she's in a bad way...
night night, ardilla
did you hang up wiht her?
No, still on...
hi all, can I get the il6?
the most sick gramma
Oh so sorry to hear that! It's too bad you couldn't do a three-way conference call or something like that.
i don't know that i can do much more than you are. i'm not a counselor or anything at all, just someone who can listen, which is what you're doing right now.
Hello grammaterri1!How are you?Welcome to the grid
thanx I'm well Min thanx for asking
okay i am not trained for suicide but have done some with the hotline
the trick is to listen, reframe negative thoughts
and offer only THREE choices at most.
Does shdybr8 see a therapist Jellen. That might help her. I know not everyone is into that, but you never know until you try it.I'm even thinking about it myself
one or two is better... but having a choice when all seems helpless is important.
i really really wanted her to look at that site i found
one more time for good measure. http://www.metanoia.org/suic ide/
okay stiddie we may be movig out the door nowe
*poof*
Goodbye jmcnrick! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
(((feather))) gotta go again. (((shady))) (((all))) see you later! *poof*
Baton Rouge Crisis Intervention - 24 Hour Crisis Line (225) 924-3900 or (800) 437-0303
Goodbye stidmama! I hope you are enjoying the meet
found those numbers online - thought they might help
i hope shdy now realizes how much we all care, and that she's not alone in this crisis, at least not spiritually. I wish I could transport myself over to her.
Whew!
Thanks, jessmom...
I gave her the crisis line number...she promised she would call
no problem!
I need a soda...brb
Back...
Thank you Jellen for talking to shdybr8.Hope it helped
I hope so too, Min
seems it is a tough time of year for many of our babble friends;(
Yes, it does, crossy
Hi crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
howdy min ((jellen))
Hello again, Babble friends. How is shdy?
scwabby:)
Hi Scrabbler! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
She was still pretty upset, and drunk, I think...
She promised me she'd call a local crisis hotline, though...and I will call to check on her tomorrow...
Does she have any family or a friend to visit her?
She said she didn't...
TY for speaking with her, Jellen.
Maybe she will see things differently once the alcohol wears off. I think drinking is the worst thing you can do in bad situations.It just makes things seem worse than they really are. I hope she gets help she needs.
She's hurt, rejected, angry, sad, lonely....and needs to know that things will get better.
So what started all this. Problems in her relationship?
Yes, Min...very volatile and irresponsible man in her life...
She will see, I hope soon, that she is better off without him.
Oh no! I hope he does not hit her. That is the worst!
I hope she is rid of him...this has been going on a while...
I thought that shdybr8 was a man because she had a man as her icon pic & I thought that was shdybr8. Is that the man in her life that is irresponsible & volatile
thank you for calling her jellen. did she sound like she was going to bed?
FB, how is Nick?
the fever started going down, was at about 100 before bed, and he was perking up too
Yes, Min
i hope not as well,my elegant came from an abusive relationship,it took her 6 months to stop flinching and i taught the fella a few things before i left with her...crossy does not tolerate men like that..sorry..bugs me
No, she was going to call the crisis hotline, feather
better plan. excellent.
brb, weird noise
And I will call her tomorrow afternoon...
minver, the man in shady's profile is the man in question, yes.
ok back..had eaten din..and now ready to tackle more
Hello PAV3! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
hi, pav
Hi again, PAV
hi Sir Seain! and Min and Jellen and fbee
no clue what the noise was
gl4 you were able to talk to shdy, Jellen. I think she needed to hear a friendly loving voice to help her through this rough patch
what kind of noise, feather?
like a light bulb popping out on the deck.
Nick or Daniel falling out of bed?
might have been something falling off the table in the wind. then i heard beeps from the a/c, but daniel was sound asleep.
a bulb in the vent hood or fridge, maybe?
or a fuse blew?
or a critter?
if you have fuses, rather than circuit breakers, that is.
nope, all lights seem accounted for. critter is very possible, cat came in a few minutes ago. could have been her.
Dryer running? My friend had a dryer fire tonite.
cats are good at weird noises
it's pretty windy out there for night time. either was the cat knocking something off, or the wind.
i vote for the wind
my cats are particulary good at weird noises when they've caught mice
me too
lmao, that looks like i'm responding to dorens. i was responding to seain.
Hi Doren
haha
How is California, Doren?
hi doren :D
hi all... am in sonoma in a lovely house wtching the sun begin to set behind the hills from the porch. life is good
sounds lovely
oh, nice
aside from the fact that we are all getting too tired to hit the grocery store and there is NO coffee in the house, it is!
Almost 8 there. I watched the sun set behind the big hill at about 7:30
going to go do my scrabble turns then go to bed
G'night feather...
night feather, Hi dorens
Goodbye featherbee! I'll see you tomorrow in the log!
hi scrabs!
night feather and hi dawg
summer must be coming to a close, it's 9pm and it's dark outside!
yahooo for reemployment, dorens!
Sleep well, Feather
time for a Tylenol...
thanks dawg.. was just remembering. summer coming to a close was beginning to get scary... now it's not so bad!
i'm sure the relief is welcomed, dorens. i'm very happy for you! :)
and now it's time for me to go find my pillows. busy day tomorrow. Mt washmore has gotten bigger! night night everyone!
Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
Question: do you think I ought to call shdy back and make sure she called the crisis line, or call tomorrow like I said I would?
I am ready for bed too. My grid does not have those 84 words that I am supposedly missing.
G'night, lbd
I would call again, Jellen. It shows you care, and to check on her is good.
Goodbye Scrabbler! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
Jellen, did you give her your #?
I am finding one more word...that will be halfway...
I will be here tomorrow--will be a day of rain + thunderstorms.
She was on a cell, so she has my number...
You are sweet, Jellen, to reach out to someone in the midst of your grief.
Alright, off to bed.
Found my word...going to call shdy now...It's the least I can do, after all the love and support given to me...
G'night all!
g'night scrabbs and jellen and dawg
Goodbye Jellen!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
passed the 1/2 way mark!
go go pav!
hi folks
evening, welki
Hello welki! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
my brain is mush.
that can be fun, welki, are you enjoying it?
allege, galena, caliente ... mush will be more fun after this gimlet :)
ooooh, gimlet, there's an id4
Hi again. I was here early this afternoon; now it's 10:30 PM and I still have 170 words left to find. What are my chances? I'm hopeful! ;-)
pity i started in on the cider
with list, you'll make it nef
strongbow?
that was the last bottle of strongbow, moving on to the Magners
thanks seain, I love the encouragement! :-)
<-- is too mushy tonight to even bother with the list :)
i have 46 to go, from A-G LOL
74 here for me
and i've been playing off and on since 2 Eastern
i went to list with 86 to go
I think I'll list now if I want to get even half way (but I hope to do a lot better than that). I'll probably lurk instead of chat too
sounds like a plan, have fun, nef :)
thanks
I made somewhat of a de 4/5 in this grid today&then it drove me nu 4/5 so I gave up. Now I'll le 4/5 a hand with a story.So Mel Gibson's ag5/14 has dropped him. Gee,I wonder why?I don't think he will be getting any ai 4/5 from anybody or can le 4/4 on anyone. He has not been acting like a ge 6/24man. I do not think he has an al4/6 left.Everybody is an4/4-Gibson & thinks he is an an 4/5.Some think he should be ca 5/18 up in a ca4/7. I have heard people ca4/5 him a pig. He has also been ca 6/24 a racist.He certainly isn't ga 7/36. He'll be gl4/7 when this blows over, but I do not think the press will let this go ge6/30.People will st5/10 be talking about this un5/12 another big famous person messes up. He will have to de4/5 with negative press for a long time. Mel has de 5/12 with it before, so he should be used to it. Mel also has some le 5/14 issues to de4/5 with. He can't de4/7 the nasty messages of him ye4/6ing at his girlfriend. I do not believe any of the messages were ed 4/5ed. Now Gibson is singing a different tu 4/5. Mel te 4/4s Oksana he's sorry. Too late for that.If I were him,I would not walk down any dark al 5/14 for fear of getting beat up. He should di 4/5 a number for a shrink. I would also remain id 4/5 and not do anything. Myabe he should go off to some foreign la 4/5 and stay there forever. It lo 5/18 like his career is su 4/9. I never liked his movies anyway. They all st5/10! Now I am going to get off this de 4/5 laptop and go cl 5/12 up the kitchen. Hubby & I have a de4/5.I cl5/12 the kitchen everyday and he cl6/21 the bathrooms. After I cl5/12 the kitchen I am going to go ne6/18 with my dog and get into my sn4/7 bed.
Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

evening, une and joey
hey, seain :-)
oh, wonderful you had a good evening, joey
Thank you joey. I'm glad you had a great evening too.
yes, I went to a Susan G Komen night at the local independent baseball team game here in Fort Worth and got to go on the field. Then I found out that one of the guys from the 93 Phillies was the manager of the other team and I went over and talked to him and got an autograph. I am quite psyched.
cool, joey :)

omg, thanks
why, what would ru do?
shlong angry...must get bigger
be funny, if in a groaning way :)
just shut ur face
jealous of dorens in sonoma ;-)
he is awfully funny... my daughter and I are having lunch with him next week... really looking forward to it
oh, how cool!!
oh, do enjoy, doren :)
at his restaurant?
thank u im looking foward to lucnh wit u
une it is heavenly here...wish i could share it with you all...there are extra bedrooms and more bathrooms than we can possibly use
he doesn't actually have a restaurant (as I understand it), but he is wine distributor for many fine ones here... he got us reservations at bouchon for wednesday (which mere mortals like us can't do)
i can imagine -- was in sonoma 20 years ago and loved it :-)
oh, you'll love bouchon
i certainly expect to ! you've been there seain?
oh, ok, good to know . . . i'll be waiting for a report on your gustatory pleasures!
of course ive been there uneaxoise
i've not, but a number of my friends have :) it's on my list for places to get to, though
i've not yet visited CA
we've got the grandkids with us, so Phoebe will get the most expensive plate of macaroni and cheese she's ever had... hope she enjoys. TOnight she loved the truffled goat cheese, so she does have good taste
dorens, that's hilarious! LOL
LOL Doren
truffled goat cheese is lovely
it was everybody's favorite... we were close to fighting each other over it. sublime.
aw, it doesn't take dalek
adore goat cheese
ah, not there :) that does it
made a goat cheese and onion quiche yesterday
done seain?
mmm, jealous of that une
21 to go
yummy, une
much as i love goat cheese, never have put it in a quiche--easy recipe?
just heard 1st crickets of the year, and few cicadas. Summer's end draws nigh
i've had crickets around my yard for a while now, seain... and i just love the sound
like any quiche, dorens -- crumble in deepdish pie shell, add layer of chopped onions (or peppers or mushrooms), pour over that 4 eggs and 1 c. milk or half and half, salt and pepper to taste
just using goat cheese instead of the usual ? must try that, thanks
actually, this time I mixed 3 different cheeses -- goat cheese, mozarella, and jarlsberg
nice mix, une
terrific.. will do one of these days, thanks
(needed to finish up bits and pieces in the fridge)
ricotta, mozzarella, asiago, and goat is another nice combo
let's face it, seain -- cheese is just plain yummy! LOL
i don't care for ag4 limburger, though the fresh variety is nice
agreed... anything except american
indeed, dorens!
non-wrapped slice american is a real cheese with real flavor
won't eat a cheeseburger or grilled cheese sandwich if it's with that crap
kraft and the like is orange plastic
:-D
sorry seain, i've tried that.. used to buy it when my kids were little for their grilled cheese sandwiches, cause they preferred it to my extra sharp vermont cheddar (guess they had it at friends' houses ).. but i couldn't stand the taste of it
:) fair enough. it's not a preferred one of mine, either
seems like dr. g helped us out, eh?
jennifer used to take goat cheese sandwiches to school in her lunchbox LOL
looks that way, dorens :-)
clue for le 5/14 please? and i bet it made plenty of friends for her???
Hi everyone. Hope you are having a great Saturday night. It is after midnight and I have just one more. I looked for them all day at a soccer tournament today and would appreciate some help.
