I never have.
I don't understand why I can't get to your list Grem, I get a not found message when I try to open it
try to open http://www.playbabble.com/profile_mini .php?id=51181
Unwig conjures funny images...too bad it's not a word.
can you see other profiles?
unhat is a word - maybe it means basically the same
thanks, Grem, that worked for me.
and, yes, I can open others
too bad homer's epic poem isn't a real word

wtg Anike
YAY anike!!!
anike, did you see you were in the grid yesterday? And almost today too.
that would be me, for not seeing that one, ha!
Thank goodness for a small grid today - back to vacuum chores
No, grem - didn't notice - my head isn't concentrating that well lately
happy babbling and I'll see you tomorrow
Hello everyone. Late start are you all finished?
halo, westford!
Hi Auntie
not me, west!
ha, ha!! funny!
exactly halfway now
yes, I have a list too
that's great Aunty!!
how's little Stan
got 24 left
fireworks
he's a belter, gorgeous, ta for asking!
nice to have a compact grid that is doable in a reasonably short time without any aids
yay josh !! are you all done with your travels?
i am in toronto for the next month or so before heading back to the states, so yes and no, west
wtf is that un6 - found it solely by building off the 4
must feel good not to be in your car
feels good to not go somewhere new every few days for awhile
it's a plural, singular means: "In polychaetes, a short, stout seta that is hooklike in form, with one large tooth and several small teeth distal to it"
i like driving so being in the car isn't that big of a deal
and that probably gives you no good idea of what it is....
grem that sounds like Cecil the Sea Serpent
always a good sign when a weird word has babblets in the definition
what's the singular spelling?
-us instead of -i
josh you saw a lot of great places
i've only alaska left on my journey to visit all 50 states
ac5 is likewise a plural, -i for -us
that will have to wait for several years at least, though
that's pretty amazing are you planning to go there any time soon?
you just answered my question lol
this pesky money thing tends to have its way sometimes
I've visited only 11, I think.
money is pesky
Not counting being directly over a few in airplanes.
were you able to stay with people along the way?
No, make that 12. Forgot Alaska, heh.
don't think that counts grem
if we're counting fly-overs, i can say i've been to greenland and iceland
yes, west - that was one of my favorite parts of the journey. i have friends all over the country and was able to catch up with more than a dozen of them all in one summer
how great is that?
greenland, incidentally, was absolutely stunning to look at from eighty gazillion feet up
George -- are you there? I looked it up and the pl of lion in Latin is leones.
got to meet a few new babies as well
yeah, Jill?
oh ta, someone told me it's this word!
hafta change it then!
how'd you find it, where?
I really love travel by car when there's time
all sorted!
google plus my dad's Latin dictionary
oh yeah? couldn't find it with google!
it was Seain gave me that, lol!
It wasn't easy -- had to try various things.
yeah, so how'd you do it??
must be right, cos it makes more sense looking at it
can't remember what worked, duh!
wonder if 'cave' would still be correct though or if another word's needed along with it? there's also a 'caveo'--what's that mean in the dictionary?
this was the last one I got: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/We_are_lions _in_Latin
oh yeah? thanks!
Cave is correct -- "Cave canem" in Pompeii. But come to think of it maybe it should be leonem (accusative). I've forgotten my Latin.
Caveo would mean "I take care (beware)" I think. Same verb, different tense.
nbt
wtg west!
thanks jilli
wtg west
thanks flosey thought you were gone
lol, still monkeying around
oh yeah, thanks Jill! I should get a plaque made up with that on it, to put out there near the lions, ha! might do that!
only 4 k's what are they thinking?
lol west, guess they didn't want us to tear all of our hair out
where though, on the riser of the top step?
now if only I can remember them all
think I need another cup of tea
bbs
bye for now
better make sure it's really correct, George -- check with a university Latin dep't!
yeah, will have to do that!
would be fun though!
not that they're very scary
Great idea though.
yeah, have those once in a while!
this is the smallest grid I've seen since I started in Dec! Hello everybody
hi ruby
hi ruby :)
flosey -- I can't exactly say "nice tornado", but "great photo" might do!
yeah, that is
thanks jilli
hello Ruby !!
I'm not usually on this early (late for all of you!)
and good write-up too -- I sued the same source but farther along, lol!
scary things! wouldn't want to have those!!
frightening things though aren't they
I was just reading jilli's profile
hello westford et alia
early for me
have to wonder how many babblers take the time to read them though, jili
yes, George and me! Shall I make yoou some coffee?
not many, I think, flosey -- oh well, at least *we* learn something.
coffee sounds so good, but at this hour, I have to settle for tea
I still need to read yours too flosey I was late because I wanted to follow the icon theme and I always get caught up in the choices
your icon is a very frightening one west
hubby grew up in MI and tornadoes were run of the mill
I wonder if there has ever been a tornado inThe Netherlands
wow, how does one prepare for a tornado
"into the cellar"
go to the basement flosey
wow, west -- read your write-up -- didn't know about that one!
snap ruby
I didn't realize how bad it was jilli
my write-up gives some ideas about what NOT to do, anyway.
(lived in Illinois for a year!)
hurricanes are usually our natural disasters
yeah, good god that was a bad one!!
is the list given?
it is so pouring now and KC is still out
here, ChuggaBOOM: http://www.playbabble.com/profile_mini .php?id=51181
hi chug you won't need it
and the green sky usually preceeded the tornado warnings although I never actually saw one. Windows opened one way in the front and the other way in the back of the apartments
oh thats fine i was just wondering if someone had it
i wouldve made one
grem posted one, chug -- finished in about 5 minutes
ruby I can remember visiting MI during a warning television screen went bright red
had to get all the babies out of bed and into the basement..fun getting them to go back to sleep
yeah this is very easy
for YOU, chug!
the tornado I "know" best is in the Wizard of Oz!
easy, you say?
There's No Place Like Home" lol
and then there's r*** slippers!
I would really like to have some
3 left!

bye George
{{george}}

ruby why are you up so early?
It looks a lot like some other photos of tornadoes Jili - Here's a site with lots of photos of tornadoes, including ones that don'e look "classic": http://www.chaseday.com/tornadoes.htm
I got it from google images tornado site
Looking at my typing here, maybe I'd better go to bed! Night all - good luck.
Helen, interesting icon

I read was that tornado link helens post
hey!
hi peas
hi! I'm new to this and really enjoying it.
hello peas
but of course, peas!
I probably would look better with a picture rather than a "gray head"
hi all 2 left ; help with en 6/21 please
It will just cost you a mere one-time $15 to turn "pro", peas
hi day don't have that one either
worth every penny peas
Ah, that's how you do it. Got to make the investment.
hello all
thaanks west, only one left now
hi ursh
hi ursh
day did I inadvertently give you a clue??
no west I was just thanking you for answering me anyway
hi ursh and daykat
oh lol then would you help me?
that's my last 6
I have it !!
happy to west
hhi jill
I remembered that one
have to look for KC
KC?
got it - and Fireworks
anyone need any clues?
I'll be off then - have a good day/night everyone
fireworks :)
and I'm sleeeepy so off to bed -- night all and *poof*
hi everyone , I liked the small grid, but now have nothing to do
Hi daycat, I was hoping you would be on, can you send me an email with your phone number (or I will reply with mine if you would prefer) then I can chat to you about the chooks
if you are still here that is
Good morning all how many words today please
only 64 sandra
Thanks
morning everyone, including sandrafrances. How many words today please??
64 diann how are you this morning
very well thank you. How about yourself and himself??
Myself and itself are mighty fine thanks. What about I'm indoors
Only a small grid this morning
im indoors is also mighty fine.
hello sandy sandra and diann
I was looking for the cat
it's pouring
Orf to have breakfast. See you later jimmy
hello again
hi Ruby and all
hi everyone, I have finished and now have a space in my day
hello sandy and lynxx
and westie!
hi
how does everybody find this so easy?
nice to see a little one, I remember one that was only 36 words
hi Sandy, congrats. Time for some rooster training then
hi West
I only have 38 words
still have 11 left trying to do this listless
in a minute for sure, I have been wary going outside today
stick and a cookie?
I am afraid of eggs now
or show him the coq au vin recipe?
still no lickety, hmmm, wonder where he is
how about the lunging whip ruby
wish we could have chickens
tied up with life I guess
hahah
this isn't life?
the eggs are good to have west
hard to keep that in mind isn't it? this is a nice distraction from life
we're having a big egg problem they had to throw away about 1/2 a billion of them
I'm still thiking of buying DH a kitten but I'm afraid it would go after "his" birds. He looked up the hawk that came in the house yesterday and learned that this type "picks off" birds directly from the feeder
I read about that, west
isn't salmonella killed by adequate cooking?
apparently not ruby they are saying you can even get it from touching the shell
wow, just where you are West or all over the States?
what's this? eggs with salmonella?
oh what a good idea I bet he would love a kitten
I never wash eggs before breaking them, but I guess I had better start!
sandy most of the eggs that we eat come from 2 major providers in Iowa
what about a beauceron puppy?
lol sandy
Hi. West did you see my link on FB?
keep going west....
I think it would distract him from his depression but: would it scratch Ruby and Max, would it eat his birds, etc.
no herin I'm not there anymore
hello herin
raofl!!! sandy
any dh?
Hi.
ruby I'll bet the dogs and he would adore the kitten
our cat was a kitten and we trained the jack russels to be kind to it- one humps it and the other cuddles it (said this before) and the cat likes both
no dh
Hi and finding link
Ruby what about a bird?
lol Sandy
ty
what an image!
an eagle would be good Ruby, remind him of home
wouldn't a cat eat the fish! he'd end up shooting it
he lived in an aerie?
maybe a parrot!
you all know him to well. Or if it ate his birds, he'd shoot me!
West: From Yahoo: http://tinyurl.com/28t7utt
our cats bring us critters
looking now herin thanks
lol west, when i went to the states, they all had an american eagle in their homes (fake eagle of course)
are the critters dead or alive, west?
really? weird....can't say I ever see eagles in people's homes
I didn't , sandy, that's a funny idea
small brass ones and such , just stuck somewhere , but they all did
a stuffed one would be nice!
herin it's pretty terrible all right
you wouldn't have to feed that ruby
interesting
by the time they leave them at the door they are dead ruby
and gross. Hi KJe
true herin
hi kje haven't seen you for awhile
my big old Clarissa used to bring home critters that were only partly dead and I would have to finish them off. Good practice for later in life.....
hi
hi kje
oh dear ruby
Were you been hiding KJE?
was Clarissa your maid?
just reading that post herin, interesting
now my mission is to save creatures that wander into the house. I only kill earwigs and large jumping spiders
in and out herin... this is early here, so will hopefully go back to bed soon
My goodness, just read that article. Think I would be getting my own chooks. Can't understand why/how the owner is still in business
oh I hate earwigs
my 14 lb grey tabby
wow that's a big cat
one came in with the newspaper this AM eww
she was huge and beautiful and a great hunter
We had a huntsman under the eaves last night escaping the rain
years and years ago
what a picture
what is a huntsman?
I hate those huntsmen, and they say it is bad luck to kill them
is that a man with a gun or a kind of animal, herin?
a big hairy spider
I was picturing a robin hood type ruby
oh no
a bloody big hairy fat spider!
fast and evil though they are harmless
not a good name for a spider
like a tarantula? poisonous?
how big
or at least not a comforting name
are they the ones that drop from trees?
no harmless to people , not so nice to insects
and I was picturing a big hunk in boots with a rifle.....
hiding under the eaves lol
I'd offer him a cup of coffee.....
one was in my car once, and I got it out on the end of a stick which I threw into a bush and the dog retrieved the stick and ran after as - spider was still on the end of the stick
good doggie lol
rofl
bye bye dog!
the neighbours thought we were mad, running and screaming
you're lucky you didn't wreck the car!
our granddaughter would have picked it up and kissed it
she loves spiders
car was stationary or i would have jumped out and left the kids to cope
gotta love wildlife stories!!!!
Huntsman are hairy harmless spiders the do eat other bad spiders
I dont like crickets, they can hop in any direction and have hopped onto me at times- I am a cricket magnet
I can't remember who it was, but a couple of nights ago, a babbler from Massachusetts had a tarantula on her ceiling! She was hysterical
ok, down to 15, back to bed
sweet dream, kje, (no spiders)
are tarantula spiders harmful?
too bad Cassie's in CA right now she would have rescued it
bye kj,
http://tinyurl.com/32jjqt4 That is a huntsman
Depends on teh tarantula
the bites are not fatal sandy
I think they can bite but are not poisonous, however they probably cause a lot of heart attacks
cassie had one as a pet
no kidding ruby
I'm more afraid of black widows
I like common European garden spiders (argiopes) as they have stripes and spots and are multi-colored --- but outside!
hmmm, dont like the sound of that, we have a nasty spider here called a red back - small and black with a red stripe down its back, they can make you very sick and they are very common here
sounds like a black widow
Bah to the redback go the Sydney Funnel web
the black widows have a little hour glass
the only poisonous spiders in Europe (so they say) are black widows and they are only in southern Italy and Siciliy
oh I heard those were the deadliest
Sydney Funnel is deadly, non?
snap, west
we had them ( black widows ) in CA used to get sprayed once a month
They sound like they are mafia Ruby
Funnel webs are worse than Redbacks those bloody things can survive in water
probably are
if you get close enough they do speak Italian
I'm cancelling my trip to Australia! hahah
in water? swimming spiders? aaarghhhh!
Ruby we have the top 10 of animals that can kill
I'm convinced!
are they native or were they brought in?
What?
Native.
killer koalas
we only have vipers and I've never seen one
killer kangas!
haven't the vipers been prepared with garlic?
No West though they can pee on you and that stinks. As for the roos you don't want to piss off a fully grown red male
I think you have to purge them first, like snails! eeewwww
those are big fellas
do you see them near where you live Herin"? Sandy?
Lynxx?
kangaroos, not here, we are too built up
oh the news is on now and they are talking about the trapped miners
this place is like a children's park compared to there!
We have had one here in our paddock as we live near reserves, but we see them down south by the hundreds
they aren't going to tell them it will take 4 months to get them out
Two words on that Sandy : BUGGER THAT
they should give them computers and we could entertain them with babble and chat!
sandy did the dogs go nuts?
ruby you read my mind
how do the horses react?
great minds!
yes lol
no all the animals just looked interested and the kangaroo just hopped off over the fence
Herin ? bugger what?
It was very big- the ones down south can be huge and they are dangerous if cornered
the miners?
Being stuck in a mine
oh nice weatherman said we're the soggiest location in the country
who is stuck in a mine?
awful idea!
that was me herin
they are in a shelter with food and water and air they asked for tooth brushes so they got those to them
sandy miners in Chile hadn't been heard from for 17 days
we often had joeys as pets when we holidayed on our aunties sheep stations as kids. They were so lovely , we hung pillowslips on the end of our bed and they would sleep in those and wake us up for their bottles
oh how adorable
that is terrible west, we had a similar incident here in Tasmania a while back - remember that Herin?
I just read about the worcester tornado in your profile, west. My sister sent me a clipping that a little one touched down in NY this past spring
there have been a few microbursts here lately
Kangaroos are no good as pets once they reach maturity , they can become very aggressive then
lol, like roosters
maybe I could get a joey for DH....no bedposts, however
how big do they get?
perfect then
lol lyn
keep him in his place!
poor sandy
some are as high as a man
My boss was an american, and we had to catch some kangaroos at the zoo once, he was six foot four and some of them were as tall
if we turn the picture of Max in my profile upside-down, he will look like a tornado!
I thought that was Ruby, ruby
I had no idea they were that big
Sandy I remember Beconsfield
that's true ruby
but don't
Ruby used to be my icon; she is shaded blonde
AND I swear I would not be asking for a tooth brush I would be asking for deodorant and shower in a can or some food.
Ruby is the very pretty red one, Max is just handsome
that was such a wonderful story, the miners got out alive (two of them ) after a long time
Max has a magnificent head but the back end sort of peters out (so to speak....)
Some roos are quite small tho, there is a big range of species
you can always tell the sexes apart with chows; the males have very slim hips
they said they have been rationing the food they have a 6 inch shaft and will be giving them what they need
I didn't know that. Are wallabees a kind of roo?
wallabees are small kangas
along with babble, we could contribute food from the PB to the miners
they should give them all iphones
I saw a photo of a Flemish giant rabbit and it looked just like a kangaroo except it had big fluffy front paws and long hair
and not to mention tp
eeewww
iphones with games on them (maybe babble)
Sandy: Wabbalies. Mmmmmmmummmy look at the wabbalies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pufSYjh cPYo ...check this out West, kind of funny if you aren't on the receiving end
we'd make minerals the daily icon
good thing they're all guys
eeewwww
they don't want to upset them with the news that they'll be there for 4 months do you think they'll figure it out after a week?
we could tell them jokes in the chog....
I shouldn't laugh, but can't help it, west. Mean Ruby!
looking now lyn
just watched Willard! I had no idea
that was so funny
better check on DH, back in a minute
I wonder if that woman has even been knocked out cold
bACK, i HAVE ANOTHER 1/2 HOUR!
whoops, sorry for the caps
good !!
he has a serious undercarriage (willard, not talking about DH!)
I noticed lol
do they really box or do they have to be trained?
Sandy did you get my joke?
I think they naturally 'box', over territory or females I guess. They used to be quite the circus/sideshow attraction but not now
those hind legs look killer
and not so much box, as 'gut' their opponent with those large hind legs and claws
big meanies
nasty-looking
not kanga and roo though
or sandy's pets-in-pillowcases! like pigs0in-a-blanket
hmm, must be nearing lunchtime
There have been some incidents where they come in contact with people. They are a 'pest' in Canberra and have been known to kill dogs and hurt some people, which is why they are sometimes culled
do people eat roos?
tastes like rabbit? chicken?
Yes, not a lot though, very lean meat. Use a lot for doig food. Looks good but my Stew won't eat it
wow lyn I didn't realize that thought they were endangered
maybe it needs meat tenderizer for Stew
Very red, like beef
far far from endangered
I would limagine that, ground up, you could use it for pasta sauce
Daughter says it tastes like beef steak, slighgt difference in the after taste
but then you couldn't stop hopping
better than horse meat, which is sort of orange
Might be a bit mean for mice. You can get Kangaroo sausages
bit lean!
or jerky?
bit lean for mince ! sheesh
mean for mice! sounds like a cat or hawk
we don't do jerky here
whenever the neighbors have coffee, I can smell it which is funny because I can't see their house
that's mighty strong coffee
I beginning to obsess about food -- good sign, maybe I'll actually eat lunch!
dog-nose
OI am super super excited.
what's on the menu?
what is happening, herin?
what's happening herin?
(bad restaurant, west)
gmta again ruby lol
herin, we're waiting with bated breath......
I found out my friends are going to be first time parents
lovely!!
aww that's so sweet
you love being auntie to all the babies don't you?
we get plenty of bad/sad news around here, that's for sure!
my cousin's daughter just had a little girl on our son's birthday
her sister is due at the end of the month she's having a girl too
it's nice to share birthdays
our first daughter was born the day after my husband's birthday
I so do. Well this one is not going to be Auntie Herin. The one in October is
he hasn't had his own cake for years lol
when in Oct ?
I'm sending Mr. West a cake of his own!
he'll be so happy..he loves dessert
Nov 2nd mark your calendar
marking!
now if I could talk him into showing up in person I'd go with him
a trip to France for his birthday, how sweet West
as long as I don't sing.....
if only...
for this birthday our daughter is flying in from CA to surprise him
I'm getting worse and worse about traveling; husband wants to and I don't
that is a lovely gift!
I know what you mean ruby I hate it now too u
I used to travel a lot, both for biz and pleasure, and now only rarely -- basically since 9/11
friends of ours are taking the train from Philly to San Fran in October
West the date is going to be about the 3 or something
that's an interesting trip. Do they have roomettes or something like that on the train? Like the Orient Express?
almost here herin do they know what they are having?
yes ruby they even have their own shower
I would love to take a ttrain across Canada but don't think that will ever happen
they're visiting us over Labor Day weekend and we'll get the details then
it must be fabulous to take a train through the Rockies!~
The friend I am going to be Aunty to is a girl and the new one not sure she doesn't want to know
Can't see these last 14, going to toss it in. Bye all XX
{{lynxx}}
this was a nice morning chat (night chat for West)
bye lyn I think I'll head out too since it's 5:30 here
Night Lynxx
and I was going to go to bed early
{{auntie Herin}}
oh yes it was and you should get him a kitten
now if we could just contact those miners......
{{west]] and poof
I don't think we've ever had a babbler from South America
and bye to Sandy's back......
hugs ruby and herin and sandy

any help on ed6 and en6?
no idea sorry
anyone still here?
me
We just had an emergency!! My brother who lives near us rang to say his dog was missing
The dog is a huge doberman , who is lovely to people but not good with other dogs and is never off the property! I drove all around and we couldnt work out how he got out
o crap. Did you get him?
Brother was close to tears. LOL but at last we found him - he was stuck under a bush in the paddock and had panicked and was in shock
now he is fine after we got him out!! How funny , he is such a big baby
were was he?
Stuck under a bush yep Dobbies and rotties are so not smart
on my brother's property
where he was meant to be but stuck
my brother is like me, he cries over everything - shallow tear ducts run in the family
I am watching Worlds Strictest Parents.
I am so happy he is safe, He is a rescue dog because he is very bad with other dogs and Richard has had him for ages but just on the property
Ok I am off to have some dinner now , see you tomorrow
awwwwwwww.
Later Sandy
Hi everyone. Goodness, a tiny grid for once. Jumps in.
how many words today?
64 only
thanks...got 51 so far
good going!!
need 3 words more.. all 6... any clues on en, el and un 6
en + think of where you goto see films But change last letter to an `a` not `e`
the un6 is similar to the last i clued
there is no el6?
sorry ed.. trying to figure out your clues..
got the en.. tx..
ed6 any delightful region or abode; paradise
the un6 is the same as the en6 just dif last letter
got the un also.. now one more only :)
tx zooz for my fireworks...
Love your icon, zooz. Did you do it yourself?
Yay!! Well done Cosmo :-)
Hello, Sally..no alas not..got it from the internet.
is there a list anywhere?
It's very clever.
list in gremlin's profile
do not know sorry Michelle.
Thank you!
i like funny giffs..always make me smile Sally
Having fun doing this without a list, it's such fun to be able to grey in most of the squares quickly.
this is true...this is the a first fr me to get fireworks on a small grid without listing.
i find the small grids the hardest normally.
congrats, zooz
Hello, Annie!..thanks ;-)
Yes so do I zooz, quite a surprise to find such easy words mostly. Still have 19 to find though :-)
there are a few tricky ones in there..well i thought they were..lol
25 left here and I have found the proverbial wall
you can do it Annie..i know you can.
without a list, not so sure but I am going to try
i will be around to try & help (if i can) if you ne4 it.
okay, thanks
that is the best thing you could have ever said, zoozoom! :) :) :)
hi Trif
hi annie!
Hello Trif..lol..yeah but you know what my cluing is like..hahaha
it cannot be worse than mine!
I am just beyond pleased that you are still here, zooz, and sounding so engaged. your presence blesses us all
zooz, trif said exactly how I feel..
I have all the Ws, but it's a pity I couldn't have wiki and wifi :-)
my real initials are in the grid today, which is saying something, as I have four!
aww thansk for those kind words Trif & Annie :-)
thanks*
you are the most welcome ever, zooz
ditto
guessing trif's initials...EANC
its another grey cold day here in massachusetts....honestly, it's as if we got all the summer's rain in three days! everything was brown and crispy, and now it's an octopus's garden out there!
close annie! EACE
The last E is taking a hike as soon as the ink is dry on the divorce though....can't wait! Kick that thing to the curb!
I was close...grey and rain here too, all day
lol
good for you Trif :-)
:)
looks like it all over the place then..as it is poring down here too.
its a strange storm, this -- blew in from the east, which I guess is pretty rare
my spelling is not very good today..lol
grump. cant move top left e. help please?
trif, ed 6/24....the state of being in paradise
Also en 6/21 from there
thanks annie. but it won't take the ed4 version? enable baffles again....
trif, the garden of **** and 3/4 of frozen water
got the ed, thanks. I just meant that I think it's puzzling that it wont take the first two thirds of that word....
oh I see what you mean...enable is frustrating
and also behind the times...wont take wifi
Think the four-letter word would be a proper noun.
or wiki annie!
is there such a thing as a proper adjective? not being snarky, actually asking....
yes, wiki too
trif, LOL, have no idea...Haz might know
I mean, seriously - if the ed4 is a proper noun, the ed6 should be a proper adjective....
I see, then you are right but no cigar
No, I think only nouns can be proper because they stand for an object, person. An adjective is merely descriptive.
humpf. don' wanna cigar anyway!!! (said in best 3 year old voice)
then trif is describing a proper noun
LOL< trif, dont wh5
I have two words left, then I'll look up the reference!
go sally go!
16 left here, going to make coffee...will bring back the pot with me
Tada!! Will go and get reference books.
huzzah for sally!!!!
congrats, sally!
now, how to ask this delicately? has the F word that is sort of a phantom ever been a real word?
Right, a proper noun will name a specific item, usually one of a kind. Hence the name of a town, place, person. If you describe that noun with an adjective, it won't just be one of a kind will it. So - you could have the author Chaucer, which is a proper noun cos only one of him, but several writers might be described as chaucerian.
Yes Trif, usually to howls of protest from the more modest of us. So has the /other/ rude word.
They are usually the first words I find :-)
thanks sally! Whilst I agree in theory, I still want to capitalize the C in "chaucerian", sort of as a nod, if you will, to the origin of the word. But I get where they are coming from, with the "more than one" angle.
thanks sally. rude words are the ones I usually enter by accident in the chog, much to my terror
Yes, I would probably capitalise it as well, but was trying to find an example that we would all recognise. Even if you capitalise it, I would not describe it as a "proper" adjective. Probably Chaucerian would not be allowed by enable though.
I have never seen the f word here. probably wasnt here because Enable has all of them.
Perhaps you were too polite to finish the grid, Annie:-)
Does anyone need any clues before I wander off?
LOL. Sally, I dont think so....when the cu4 word was in the grid I typed it into the chatlog in error...I was ribbed most of the day.
sally, how many fi 4/10's are there?
I really pity anyone who has to learn english as a second language. I cannot stand when people get all fussed at those adults who are struggling with it. That whole "you moved here now learn to speak our language" screed is so ignorant! I always want to shout "you tried it?" back
rofl Annie. Of all the words!
Guten Morgen, where is today
yes! Of all words!!
two
my cousin, aknitter, did the same thing....
today's list?\
i have one fi 4/8
gremlinn's profile
The fi's go 4/8, 5/18, 4/10, 4/10
thans
youre welcome, inge
I have one fi 4/10
Then there are fu 4/9, 4/9, 5/20
I have 2
Tje two fi 4/10s are anagrams of each other
ugh. alarm just went off. I am gonna be dragging myself out by the skin of my neck today
they are homophones as well
okay, got it, thanks
7 left....
go trif go!
hmm, I would not pronounce them the same, Trif.
I fear I shall have to leave for work before I see some sparklies
wow, sally. you read my mind! just after I entered that, I wondered if that would be true on your side of the pond. good to know! very educational babble on the whole, this morning
Without giving the words away, I would be interested to know if you pronounce them both with the eee sound or the sound as in aye
the vowels in each say their name
eye
I think their roots are different, which is why we pronounce them differently. Have to dash to pay gardener. Back in a mo
are there any ae- words today?
no trif
"pay the gardener" heh heh. is that what the kids are calling it in england these days?
omg, i forgot that damn goose again!

I can't find the last one and it's driving me mad

rain, rain, rain here

YAY for Trif !!!
Back.
welcome, sally
And it was a real gardener :-)
LOL Sally - I meant it in the most gentle and respectful way!
just got an email saying Secondo's field hockey camp was cancelled again. shocker. the kids would need wetsuits!
Oh, I thought it was funny. Since my husband's accident last year we have had help in the garden and it's brilliant!
are all the u words un- please?
Good Morning Everyone - my poor son started school today - this is tooooo early
Hi folks. Just on at work so may drop out of the chat unexpectedly. Also waiting for a call from the vet about my dog's blood work. Meanwhile though I have 16 left and am as hopelessly and uselessly stuck as I've ever been. For example... I am missing a K. I have 3x ki4/8. Anyone have that 4th one?
yes trif
morning river! I am headed your way with the fry this weekend! I will wave at everyone I see, just in case it's you!
hi MG
Hi NoNo!
3 x ki 4/8, and a ki 4/12
hi River, MG, Nono
and I'll wave back
good morning everyone
morning ((Mom))
Morning (Mom)
Hi ((Mom))
hi River
Hi Annie! Hi Mom!
River, I am so glad your son can start school this morning!
{{Nono}}, {{River}} so good to see you both again.
monkey, it's so good to see you here!
(((Mom)))) good morning
the schools here started last Wednesday
{{{{{Annie}}}}} good morning, nice seeing you
morning. just sent the big kids off to school. They were talking and laughing and I even got to take pictures!
Hi Monkey Games
Did you get the ki 4/12, MonkeyGames?
Hi Trif! Just had to answer the phone (not about dog). How is everyone?
hi GoodEnough
schools in CT are starting Monday and my daughter"s 10 year old has to be on the bus at 7:15...kind of early
Don't have that Sally; looking now, thanks!
I agree Annie
that is early annie
Think New Zealand :-)
our schools dont start until after Labor Day
thanks Sally
Must be off now, if no-one else needs clues?
bye bye Sally, have a good day
Aha! Thanks!
mornin babblers!
sally, i hate to ask, as I have been begging this morning, but can I ask - I have un4/6 and un 5/20
Any help with any of the u's would also be appreciated.
Middle School and High School bus stops here at 7:05 and the freakin schools are only 10 to 15 minutes away but I guess they have a gazillion stops along the way
hi eva!
what am I missing please?
**gone**
Bye Sally!
bye Sally
Hi EvaNadine!
good morning Eva. Have you heard anything about NancyBoy?
hi Eva
rats.
I dont have one un
There's a un 6/24, builds on the un 4
i havent, mom. was actually wondering if he had managed to pop into the chog since he left...
Add the first two letters of what follows day to the un 4/6
bless you sally!
NB was on briefly yesterday. had a lovely family picture posted but then he got all flustered and left.
2 words left, and 7 mins to find then
Thanks! Now just to find the un 4/6...
what do you need trif?
i couldn't tell if he had given the news or not
the last I heard everything was great until he came out, then it changed. Four cousins are backing him up and taking him to visit relatives in another town
How many words today?
youd think after "hi, im not dead!" the news of being gay wouldnt be so tough...heh
Monkey, the un 4/6: un plus first two letters of where you might watch a film
Grant! Nice to see you, only 64 todlay
today*
you'd think!
THanks Mom. Some weirdos?
one h and one a. I fear some welsh with the H
then the chat changed to how his family had not only lied but stole.
they said it is a custom in Korea when someone passes that there are gifts as well as money given to the family
ac 4/6, 5/12, 4/5, 5/14
Thanks Sally! This is a killer grid. And not in a 1980's good meaning of killer.
It's sad that a bunch of people on an internet game have to be the ones to accept NB unconditionally.
ahh, so in claiming him dead, they received gifts...?
the family said he had died in an accident, they even had a wake for him
1
apparently they did Eva
No Welsh H's: hi 4/6, 4/6, hu 4/7, 4/12, 4/7
let me see if I can find it and will copy and paste, brb
fireworks!!! whew! now I can go to work in peace!
so the parents who were already mad are now going to be livid??
congrats Trif!
yay trif!
Yay Trif!
Congrats Trif
Hope your lifeboat's inflated
I think Nancy's parents should be ashamed of themselves.
i agree, trif.
NO kidding, grant, huh? Secondo had field hockey camp this week, and every day has been a washout.
Do NB's parents still live In South Korea?
but my lawn is looking green again, so that's good
absolutely!
sally, i believe his parents live in england.
I kid you not, people, it is doing that sweeping rain thing. god help us all
Good summer for mower gas conservation
Enuff is enuff.
The parents seem to forget that NB is still very young and needs support not rejection.
okay, need to get it together. have to cross the driveway before the stream washes it out. blessings to you all, and thanks for the clues!
Bye Trif.
bye Trif
i think that after the parents have shunned him,driven him from their lives,cast him adrift,declared him dead to all overseas relatives,that fact that they were angry at him,so not be worth a pile of coon shit.it i had family do that to me,i would not give a rats ass what they thought of me trying to repair ties with family overseas that they lied to... good morning everyone:)
bye trif
precisely, crossy.
crossy, good morning
hi Crossy!
i agree cross. but the lack of relationship with his family still seems to hurt him greatly
but somehow, deep down, there is always a small part that wishes things were different...
morning ladies:))))
maybe if he can at least have a relationship with cousins that will suffice
Yes crossy. I can just about understand the rejection, because a lot of parents have problems with this, but not telling other relatives he was dead. That is really dreadful.
its still a fairly fresh wound for him. he puts on a brave face for us, but i can only imagine how isolating it must feel.
seems they are poison to him now,so time to live his life on his terms,not theirs
yes,he is young yet...
Hi {{Crossy}}
here you go: 1:42 pm m9f9l did they get gifts at the wake? 1:42 pm jillibus (I beat bugs getting up in the a.m. on the trip, lol) 1:42 pm Bugsaw as I understand it they did 1:42 pm m9f9l oh I see. already had that one 1:43 pm m9f9l oohhh.. that's slimey 1:43 pm Bugsaw as is traditional in Korea 1:43 pm jillibus They got money for telling the lie that he was killed in an accident 1:43 pm dcseain omg! how horrible of them!
((MOM))
Thanks mom. I've missed a lot of the chog recently cos I've been in and out, and away.
you're welcome Sally
got interrupted at work - now need to figure out what I missed
my daughter went to law school with a korean girl and she needed a hip replacement and her family told her she was damaged goods.
oh my gosh Annie, that's terrible
ouch thats harsh
It takes your breath away, doesn't it.
River, we were just discussing NB
yes, it was shocking to hear that...and she was only 24 years old, instead of rallying around her, they did the opposite
oh my heart goes out to NB - he is brave and l'm afraid will get his heart broken again
I so hope he has enjoyed his holiday. It was a journey he wanted to make, so I hope he has laid some ghosts.
what a strange lot
Hi all, can't stop but need to pick dear crossys techie brains. Question for you crossy ((())) ...
Hi {{FMitch}}
Morning FM
go ahead darlin;)
Hello FM
he will definitely have his heart broken again. unfortunately, thats just life. but hopefully he can overcome everything his parents are doing to him.
FM! hello
Where on my 'puter do I find out what progs/apps are running when I fire it up in the morning as something is slowing it down for the 1st hour of operation!
start/run/msconfig
got to make me swaet next time ((FM))
Heard tell of an en6... can anyone point me in the right direction?
Turn off auto updates, FM.
but be carefull in there fm....
en plus first three letters of where you watch a film, plus vowel
only turn off things you can id,like any software that you have added after the os install
thanks Sally
I knew you would know :). Will go have a look at that now. Sorry I can't stop to chat guys and gals. (Did that this a.m Sally) and will be careful crossy.
do not shut anything off with microsoft in it id
Bye FM - and love your icon!
tc fm;))
Thanks!
I have great news - my boy made the middle school soccer team - tryouts ended yesterday - whoohooo - he is back and running
that also helped me Crossy there was a program i just put on my puter that starts up at boot but I dont want it too. Knew I could disable it but hadn't figured out where
yay!
excellent news River, congrats to him
river, great news
great River!!! Congrats to him
well, good golly. why is it so tough for people to decide yes or no about attending a wedding? we are almost 2 weeks past our RSVP date, still havent heard back from some people (despite efforts to get in touch with them) and some of them just arent giving us clear answers -- they are claiming it is too early for them to know. well, sorry, but being the one paying for it, *I* need to know.
river that is fabulous!! congrats to him (and you)!
good stuff nono;))
eva, i find people are getting worse and worse about rsvps. but you'd think for a wedding people would be able to commit!
another good one to know nono,is "dxdiag" it can diagnose sound and video problems
Hate to be a pain but also hate to quit with 9 left... there's a H 5, right? Any clues?
some people are natural procrastinators - happens all the time and there is nothing you can do about it Eva - dont get all wrapped up in that - enjoy the whole thing
thanks Crossy will make note of that
Have found that myself when organising a wedding, Eva. People are much more casual these days. Perhaps a note saying you assume they aren't coming because you are finalising the seating plan?
i have had a handful of people ask me if they could let me know in a few weeks. umm, NO. thats why i put an RSVP date -- because i need to know by then. if you cant commit to a yes, then maybe you just have to commit to a no.
no H5
what day of the week is the wedding eva?
I just passed the half way mark - yippee
Ah. I have hi x2 and hu x2... what do I need?
No H5 words monkey
Another hu
3 hu's
Thanks!
crossy, it is a saturday
Hi Phaeton
The hu's go 4/7, 4/12, 4/7
thats ridiculous - they should know by now if they can attend on a Sat less than 2 months from now
Thanks, then I need the last one. Looking...
help with w please missing 1
oh must get ready for work! good day all :)
lol on a sat with 2 months notice,even i,the ultimate procratinator can come back with an answer in that time lol
bye bye Good
you have a good day too Goodenough
bye GE
Hi Larlielou
The last hu is a Latin word, Monkey
bye good enough
Thinking...
i would even rent a suit for a chance to see you off eva;) (crossy does not do dress up too often) :))
seriously. i mean, i understand that one or two of them may have work schedules to figure out, but seriously? i have given you a date to decide by. i find it quite rude that people would ask for exceptions, especially having gone through this process already themselves. and i wont even get started on the ones asking to bring their children, despite my already having said adults only.
The w's: wh 4/10, 4/9, 5/20, 6/36 and wi 4/11 and 4/8
hi all
hi larlielou
howdy laurie
lo,another name i will never get right;)
I think it's rude, Eva. It's as if they will accept if nothing better turns up...
thanks sallymissing the wh49 many thanks
good morning (or?). Eva - I would just write all the stallers and tell them how sorry they wouldn't be there and I'd send them a picture of the bride & groom.
awww, would love to see you decked out to the nines, crossy. :)
i have done about 300 different spellings for our gal guernsey ;)
good morning Hootowl
how sorry you are !
Take the last letter off the wh 5/20
Bottom rihgt E?
Wish the vet would call.
lol eva,i look like a mafia hit man,without a suit i have wide shoulders,with a suit,i have to turn sideways to go through door openings;0
Ah, a babblet. et 4/5: e plus nervous twitch
Monkey, et + **e cream
yea thanks got it now
Really must go now. See you all again soon. Good luck with the rude notes, Eva!
bye Sally
bye bye Sally

I have 21 left and think I have to list now - ugh
congrats Annie
congrats Annie
thanks Annie, you as well
*le sigh* i also need to find a nice way of asking my friend not to bring her newborn baby. she RSVPed that she would not be brining her older child, since she knew i dont want children, but since she is breastfeeding, she may be bringing her newborn. i feel a little insensitive, but we did say no children.
gm River...all
Good Morning Gamer

cold pizza for breakfast is totally a health food, right?
maybe, if the pizza isn't very greasy
Absolutely, Eva.
it wont be greasy at all -- its COLD. ;)
but was it greasy when it was hot?
oh, it was so long ago, my memory fails me. ;)
That's sounding less healthy... just how old IS this pizza?
heh, only sunday night.

OK, un + a consonant + zuch***
Matches, it was a wrong clue, so sorry
jbp, I didn't get that clue either but I have the U's... which one do you need?

yep got it, now. thanks!
To start a riot.
or un + zucch*** ( veggie )
nm
Annie, that leaves teh consonant out of the final word...

The skin ones are Babblets.
pondering skin
Think teenagers.
monkey, you rock!
Aww, again, shucks.
with 18 left, I must off to work.
hope to bbl!
If I suddenly drop out of chat, by the way, it'll mean work appeared here and/or the vet called.
Oh, bye jbp!
Hello...
Hi!
good morning
Hello!
hi, jellen
How are you, MonkeyGames? It's been a long time!
Hi, dc!
hi, MG :)
Doing OK. I'm at work right now, but there's nothing happening here. Are you OK?
I'm okay...a bit emotional now and then, but not bad...
emotional now and then never fully goes away in my experience, just becomes less frequent. Peace to you, jellen
Hang in there. I'm keeping you in my thoughts. Meanwhile, good luck with this grid-- it's kind of mean.
Hi all
Hi Boo!
case
Hi, Boo
hi, boo
No Lickety?
Don't think so; I got through on clues, but some folks were directing people to Gremlinn's profile earlier.
I'm happy to clue until work intervenes or teh vet calls.
and list in babanon
Heading to Gremlinn's profile...
I'm down to one--a five letter f word--and my monkeys have gone on strike. I do have the plural of the uterus word...
how would one get to gremlin's profile without that person being on line?
Do you have the one that rhymes with the ri- poisin?
I don't know, tc, but people do somehow...
Nope--but I do now! Thanks, MonkeyGames!
if added to friends, you can get to it
No problem! I had to get that one on a clue too.
on that note, i must dress and get out door; i overslept
I have him as a friend...some people say if you go to rankings you can find him...
happy babbling, and i'll see some of you here later {poof}
Have a good day, dc!
OK, DC, have a good one!
thanks, i'll try that
yep, that worked, thanks
fi 5/18, please?
Ehymes with a poison, also in the grid, which is itself ri5.
Thanks, MG!
No problem!
The F's have fallen...
this grid is hard
Seems to be, Boo...
too many vowels
yellow
purple
: )
How are you, kje?
doing well... how are you?
Bemused...I woke up unusually early for me...
how early is early?
I dont like this grid
Of course, I chose to stay in bed and Babble and Facebook instead of getting up and being productive...I awoke at 7:30
oh, 730 would be late for me - LOL
Didn't go to sleep until 2am, though...
I woke at around 0230... babbled a bit until I got sleepy again, then went back to bed around 0330
and slept until 0730
just plan a nap today, jellen!
Nap on my checklist!
i had to testify yesterday - was kind of fun
was stressed about it, but ended up kind of fun in an interesting way
and got me out of the office which is always good
What sort of hearing?
guardianship
Ahh...kje, expert witness!
i had deemed a man (ex- lawyer no less) incompetent
kind of, that is what they called me... but not like an expert brought in unrelated to the case.... he was a patient
very nice person
That's hard, but in his best interest...
yes
kje, will you be my doctor when I get old and affected by Alzheimer's? (runs in my family)
i have 12 left and am finding this slow now
I have met many incompetent lawyers
gm ladies
My ex-husband is a lawyer :-)
Good morning, ruru
it is just sad at this point though.... you don't wish that on anyone
and hi RUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
yes.. it is a horrible disease..this game will help you keep those brain cells going jellen
My mom really suffered...
top E - I have garden like - what is the other?
they are having some breakthroughs in medicine i read the other day
nope
like the ORange County city
the big article recently was on having to STOP a trial due to the med causing more rapid decline
en6 man
ty ru!
THere are things they can do if you catch it earlier though no KJE?
no idea what cities are in orange county - but tried the e cities that popped to mind... first enid, then en6
thanks Ru and hello to all.
no, ru
Hi, red!
the meds have minimal if any benefit - the drug companies WAY overstate their benefit
Morning!
hiya red
and car
there seems to be an Orange county in every state as well...
well.. that's depressing to hear
Hi, car!
Need clues, please
do you have early cognitive decline ru?
Hi Jellen! How goes the day?
I have early cognitive decline. I am sure.
for what academy?
W words
one left
no.. not really..but a few of my neighbors came down with it and it is a bit scary
pulease! red..... now ru I would believe - but not you ; )
The day goes...no real plans...except grocery shopping...
wh 4/10 - eh + freuds bad boy
I think its the night shift work. I am supposed to get off of it but who knows exactly when.
one foot in front of the other jellen..that is the right thing to do.. motivation follows action
I am in limbo...have to pick up niece, drop off son on playdate, get some cleaning done, work....all pending...
wh5/20 - weepy and complaining
Freud was into S & M?
wh6 - PT
wi4/10 - not husband
wi4/8 - not blak
blak?
and I do not have the other - so if anyone wants to supply some stats?
well, the opp is misspelled, so the misspelling was intentional - so there
sh + not out
wh 4/9 drops the last letter from the 5
i mean wh + not out
Ty all!
thank yyou! but what's Freuds??
and thanks to you all, w's are all done!
we are one of the few cultures that expects mourning to be a rapid process... have a funeral then move on... most cultures give ritual time for mourning - on the order of months to a year. Take your time jellen
ty, w's done
WAY too many vowels....
sh + not out - sure you aren't having problems ru? I would be happy to testify at your hearing - LOLOL
I will, kje...signed up for a Season of Grief emails...365 daily messages...
oh.. sure.. you'd be the first person I would think of to be a a trial for me...NOT!!!!!
Thanks kje finished Ws
ah but ru.... I would only do it for your own good.... bwahahahahaha
That is good Jellen. I have found great comfort from things of that sort. You never know when the words you need will just happen to end up on your desk....
And I'm planning on attending a support group starting in September...plus I have an appointment with a new counselor this Friday...
good jellen - you are a wise woman...
Good. All very positive and brave steps Jellen.
all good and healthy things to do jellen..
U clues? only have the not clever one
I've been in very dark places before...don't want to go back...
unw4 should be a word... like divorcing
unhid should be a word - finding
yes.. I hear that
un + the cop show missing the S
un + New York **ty
ty jellen
thinking ru
and the un6 is the Italian diminutive of that
and add not out reversed for another
Don't have un 6/24...
ty! u's done
down to 8
un4 + not out for dyslexics
me neither.
Thanks!
are you done ru?
unhid is a word -- yeah, thought as much! http://dictionary.reference.com/browse /unhid
no.. just starting my day
so is mahi and scrabble wouldn't let me play it
i could have left weed in the dust right at the end
Scrabble where?
I now get the beat weed thing .. she isn't a gracious winner
FB
lots of legit words don't work in online scrabble games, depending which ones you play!
LOL ru - neither am I
LOLOL
we are good against each other
Hi, George
oh yeah, that's lexulous scrabble--play that one, on the site and by email
depends on the dictionary you use
hello, Jellen!
20 left now... hard times.
no, I do not play lexulous
go red go go go go
7 here
Remember that Enable is to English as Spanish is to Portuguese
bb in a bit.. need to make brekkie for mrs ru
yeah, of course, but also on the site--like, if you play scrabble on yahoo, lots of very legit everyday words won't work cos yahoo doesn't think they're 'nice' words, like 'cock'--stupid, that!!
6
yeah, the scrabble game on FB is lexulous, no?
hello everybody, back for a few minutes and, hopefully, a few words
later ru
Hi Ruby!
Later, ruru
By Ruru!
Hi, ruby!
Can I get a clue for either of the top row e's for nbt?
no... I play the official scrabble game - i will not support lexulous
george, it depends whether you use sow or US dictionary with scrabble (lexulous)
{{jellen}}
ed6 - like a garden
TY KJE!
lexulous is a knock off that comes out of india - they were sued by scrabble for duplicating their board identically and profiting off the theft
scrabble is not lexulous
lexulous was then forced to change their board
but people still like it..
ty kje, That was not obvoious to me. I was afraid it would turn out to be a fish.
but it was free and had a good format before they were forced to change it
and they wouldn't accept any money!
yes they do, red - but i think most CR's should be honored.... all except those on living things which I think is insanity
dunno, I was told the scrabble game on FB is run through Lexulous? I haven't played it myself, only have a business page on FB that's handled for me by a m8 of mine who does web work for me, don't use it personally and never will!
true.
Wasn't ti 4/8 in the grid yesterday? How strange!
they were free because they sold advertising - they made money off the game, thus why hasbro sued them - it is intellectual property
help me... wah
giff
I play scrabble/lexulous all ways, but the best of all is sowpods blitz!
May i have please have clues for the i's?
ic4 - made cold
yeah, well it's near enough the same game, with a different name--yahoo has one as well, it's called Literati, different sort of board and no consistent tile distribution, but same game basically!
in6 - push into a riot, say
when it first started, still called scrabulous, it had no advertising and was a pleasure. On FB it has a lot of ads
down to 16...
ty kje, couldn't see that duh
that is what the lawsuit did - said they could not duplicate the board, so now lexulous is a random board set up every time, random distribution of leter and word doubles and triples
hi red
Yikes. TY KJE. Should have seen those.
hi ruby.
15 here Red
I've seen the name Scrabulous somewhere, yeah, can't remember where though!?
not random, just different -- slightly
How many words today?
64
Thanks.
it's a thing of the past, george
it is random here - every time you log on the board is set up different - unless you save one and reuse it
yes, scrabulous not only used the board but took their name - it was a no brainer lawsuit
that is different from what I've been playing. It would drive me crazy if they changed the board set up!
it is crazy, ruby - you can play a 5 letter word and hit 2 double letters and 2 triple words - weird stuff
I would hate that!
oh yeah
but i never use it - the only game I play on FB is the legit scrabble/hasbro game
going to see if grem has a list - down to 5
yeah, he does
Are there any dh words?
could you "friend" me kje, I'm nancy kelley on FB, and we could play
no, car
what is the clue for the i word at the top?
start a riot (per kje)
to start something, as in a riot
yeah, per kje
incue
no dh words
sry
i will look for you ruby
I think there are many nancy kelleys!
She's a friend of mine on FB, kje
I've hit the grid wall with 20 left

hi Haz.
yw Jellen! stepping out, laters! xx
George, I have two left feet...
Later, George...
Hello, red and everyone.
Hi, Haz
Hi Haz, Sunny Stranraer is just that today, how about balmy Ballymena?
Oh, we're sweltering here as usual.
We have had a weather break. its really pleasant.
pfft! flipping pouring down here and sweatshirt and socks weather :(
I thought of you a couple of weeks ago - we were at the coast, could see across to Scotland, it was such a clear day.
Hello F (for freezing)Mitch.
lol Greetings Haz and all
Hi, FMitch
The forecast did look a wee bit drippy for the south of England.
finally cooling down here a bit -- only got to 28C yesterday
Right, same sweltering as we're doing, I expect, 'nuff said.
How is the groggy Spangletina?
She is almost comically groggy, zonked out in the back garden.
awe poor thing, blame it on the cooking sherry ;)
If I wasn't better informed I would suspect a touch of schadenfreud towards our south of England friends!!!!
By way of explanation, Spangle had her teeth cleaned plus three extractions at the surgery today. She's swaying and cross-eyed when she walks.
Awww....hugs to Spangle!
Now, liz, could you imagine the Northerners ever wishing them ill?
lol liz, and Hello Jellen.
brb
HAz, posted the book to you this afternoon.
I'm sure she'll be her usual self eventually, it's just so strange to see her so subdued.
Excellent! I'll look forward to getting it, FM. You mean you went out in all that rain?
I did! The things I do for my friends :)
No, of course not. I was in London a couple of weeks ago and it looked as if it hadn't rained in six years there, so I'm sure they are grateful for all that lovely rain.
SHine up that halo, FM.
I think there were photos in the paper a while back of Hyde Park which looked really parched.
Look on the bright side, FM, no watering needed for the garden.
Anyway, smells like dinner's ready, so I'm off.
That's right, show where your priorities lie....
Absolutely ! TTFN liz.
Bye, liz.
Have you done the grid today, FM?
Indeed and it gave me a few grey hairs but I got there in the end. You?
Woweee, I actually got fireworks. and now sleep....getting ready for the nap before work.
Well done red!

Ooops. But I got it right in the grid. One C left.
I don't usually read short fiction, but I'll look for her...
her long novel, Gate at the Stairs (or something like that) is wonderful, but I "loaned" it to a friend who took it back to Sweden with her and then "loaned" it to her daughters. So I may have misremembered the name
I have 3 ca's, one ce, 2 ci's and 2 cu's. What else?
and will never see the book again
cu 4
cu + ** wishes were horses...

it is my boy and me with the park service ranger and his ak47 to take us out to see the crocs and hippos
he had just come back from getting some tourists who had wandered too far thinking that the animals were somehow informed they were tourists and therefore not going to hurt them
nothing quite like the experience of watching a really mad guy holding an ak47 march past you into the bush
but when he dragged them back he asked us if we wanted to go see the crocs and hippos
ac 5 12 needed.
LOL. I have just been scanning the grid for an AK 4/7!!! Doh!

Hakuna Matata JMC!!

How was he doing, Jellen?
Said he was okay, but he had a bit of a wait to get into hospital...
Like JMC says, I am glad he is staying in touch.

other f is anagram of woodwind

Hu 4/7. Do you like **e-cream Sean?
ah, thank you! got it :)

Sorry, MKG - I missed your post - are you sorted on the HU's?
hey
hey jmc!
well when you get off from work come on over and I will make you a real one
hi stiddie
and hey all (which is what the first post should have said...)
*hugs jellen for 1:35 decision*
thanks jmc-sounds fantastic!
hey angelsong! how goes the book?
how's the grid?
great decision, jellen
the grid's not bad today
oooh. only 63 words to do ...
hello, everyone :)
*puts tequila in freezer*
hey seain! ((hugs))
((stid))
hi dc
howdy, jmc :)
Hi, stid
*tiptoes into chog* ::whispers:: afternoon babblers!
EvaN!!!! ***hugs and hugs*** how are you doing???
it will be somewhat of a long freeze-i'm in tennessee-have one for me & you can owe me until i get to dc
Welcome, EvaN
doing well. secretly escaping work early today because we have a pre-wedding session with the pastor tonight. then meeting with the flower lady directly afterwards. gonna be a late night!
but a worthwhile night :)
gee, things are happening a little fast, aren't they? flower lady? already??
What are your colors, EvaN?
*thinking eloping was a GREAT idea -- 20 years ago....*
wedding is 2 months away, stid. i think we might actually be late. ;)
hmm you could check the airline schedule
jellen -- no specific colors, but an autumn pallette -- burgundy, chocolate brown, rusty orange, olive green eggplant...
wait. colors??? 2 MONTHs too late for flowers??? *faints*
<--was hoping for a simple ceremony minister's office...
geez evan don't listen to the wedding people -- just do it
((((jellen))))
stid, im a planner. i like to have things decided out ahead of time so i can just relax as the day draws nearer.
call up the florist and tell them what you want and when
I like to plan too... school starts next week and (because I am a student teacher) have practiced NOT planning the unit I am teaching in October until I meet the kids and get a chance to see what they will benefit from the most.
when i got married the wedding people all told me that they were into fall wedding season and I told them my wedding was happening in May and they could either provide me what i needed or I could go somewhere else
this flower lady isnt actually a florist, chris's mom knows her through the church. but she does professional-level flowers. shes gonna help us with more than just flowers, though -- decor in general.
It is fun to plan those things...
anywho, im about to sneak out early. heres hoping i dont get caught!
i got what i wanted
that's nice EvaN, I like the idea of using people who do things for the enjoyment of it rather than just for the money
have fun
good luck with sneaking. *helpful hint: don't announce to people that you are sneaking...*
jmc -- i have no concerns about getting what i want. its just about making sure she knows what i want and maybe even getting a few ideas from her. :)
lol, stid
heh, well, it doesnt matter if YOU know im sneaking. ;)
hi all! first look at grid!
lol good advice stiddie!
anywho, time for me too (((poof)))
go for it evan
hey m! I am down to 31, (just now) and have about 10 more minutes to play.
bye, EvaN
hi m9
Hi, m9!
bye Evan

missing one d on each d tile.
I'll just sit here until it kicks in...lol
yeah.. good idea.
sometimes instead of fighting doing something.. it's a good idea to just DIVE INTO not doing anything. get sick of it pretty quick and have to do SOMEthing!LOL
how many da's?
I am sooo good at not doing anything!
(me too!)
2 das
eh, m9? trying to make sense of that and my brain's just not doing it, ha! yeah, I'm too good at doing nothing, had to kick myself to tidy up my front room this evening -- it was long overdue, looked like a bloody bomb had hit it, ha!
i have learned the trick of starting out doing small stuff like wiping down my keyboard and then I start straightening up the desk and then I find something I ne** to work on and pretty soon i have accidentally started to work
well..that's not entirely true. I'm good at doing little things that make me feel like I'm doing something... (like play babble)
I'm often doing too much all the time, so I like to do nothing at all every chance I get, lol!
playing babble is NOT the kind of little things i was talking about! lol
Ooh, I could clean my keyboard!
it is good to take breaks and I excel at power naps
but then I work more or less a 12 hours day because i take breaks
go for it jell
the worst thing that happens is that you have a clean keyboard

Hello all. Just starting thank you jellen for my first word!
hi Stidgmere
Hi lynxxx! How are you today? I'm enjoying the warm weather and sunshine.
Hi, stidgmere
dean
rine
sorry -- wrong button!
We are enjoying a week of cold and lots of lovely rain. athey are actually lifting water restrictions at the end of the month - first time for 3 years. Hooray! we have some water in our dams
brb
Well, it is always a good feeling to have some water in reserve. We have so much rainfall it is rarely a problem. However, as more people move in, water restrictions have occured more often.
After 3 years of restrictions we are all water wise and hardly likely to go back to wasting water..we avg 150 litres per person per day and many have installed rainwater tanks &/or use recycled water
I know the price of gasoline is out of sight but if we went by what is truely valuable, water would be really expensive.
is there a list stigmere?
Hi, Champ...gremlinn has a list and there's one at Bab Anon
I don't have a list. Usually someone has one. Minveryork is a good source if you can get to her icon.
I'm away - have a good evening all
Good bye, lynxxx
brb...hunting down some notepaper...
Half way down with the grid. Totally out of patience. Bye for now.
Bye, stidgmere
Last word, en6/21? Time for a little help from my friends. Please.
that's what I'm looking for too gramma
en 6 = city in California, with different vowel ending
ooops...not that one...have that. it's en + ci4, change the last vowel.
ed 6= paradise-like
TY Which 1 do you need, Champ?
just found it...15 left...
My Grandbaby started kindergarten today. I can't believe it. I have 1 more Grandbaby that will need me for 2 more years and I look forward to the time with her; but, then what am I supposed to do? It breaks my heart to see them go off to strangers. I cried every year when mine went off to school. I love to be in their lives.
My kids are 24, 15, and 11. They started school this week, and I was waving happily as they left! ;) Different places in life, right? :)
Champ, I cried when all of mine got on that bus or dropped off at college. ( Except the oldest 1. I don't think we even turned the car off. He had given us such a run!)
Oh well, I think I'll go make myself a little gramma-juice and relax. Life moves on...like it or not.
I didn't cry...except when the oldest went to college. that's always rough!
Hi, gramma...just popping in...
Not for us. We saw parents hugging and crying and we laughed as we pulled away. He's great now; but, holy smoke he was a trial in HS
Hi, Jellen 8)
Mine was (is) a toot. Never anything bad, but still, the assistant principal would call on occasion. thankfully the last 2 are girls, and we've avoided all that...
Oh no you haven't! Batten down the hatches when those 2 get loose.
You're right...the older one is getting ready to let loose. But we'll see...they all get the benefit of the doubt until they screw up...then the hammer comes DOWN!
G'nite all. Champ it's nice to get to know you. See you soon.
You too gramma! have a nice one!

bye all...onward to choir practice...first one of the season. See you tomorrow!
Wow, I adjusted my FaceBook settings to "no notifications". It's amazing how much email I was getting...
Sing well, Champ (and if not well, at least loud) :-)
hello all! (((Jellen)))
just got back from errands....
hello everyone, our house went on the market today. Sign and all, such a weird feeling seeing the For Sale sign.
I bet jell -- mine has been set on that for a while
I think the energy drink has made me a little giddy...
hi stiddie
wb, stid
hi blue
Hi, blue...it is an odd feeling...
hey blue. wow.... can't imagine how that feels. Hope to never leave my humble hovel.
hi jmc
down to 20 earlier... trying to decide if I want to try to finish.
Sure you do, stid...
i am off to do stuff bbl
ah! got another one...
later jmc
Bye, jmc
we're ready for a change..from the mountains to the coast.
Which coast?
bye jmc
oh! that would be interesting, for sure!
new hampshire, portsmouth
(that's east coast... LOL)
we love the ocean.
Haven't been to the east coast in ages...
down to 18
that's right stid
we have sailed to the most beautiful beaches..we just love the sea.
<--afraid of water
(except the shower)
I love to be on the water, near the water, in the water... but only when it's warm enough!
I am SO not a sailor though, would rather have my feet in the loam of the garden than the foam of the sea.
why are you afraid of water, jellen? bad experience?
*worried that was too personal a question*
at this time we live in a log house in the White mountains of NH, surrounded by the national forest. One hour to a srore, 3 miles to our mail\box. We are ready to leave. Bye the way Stid I love gardening and always will.
that actually sounds nice too, blue -- except we also live quite a way from the actual town (only 20 minutes to a real store though), so I know how wearying isolation can be
being in a seaside town where there are more people and easier access to the water does sound wonderful
A number of experiences as a child, stid...plus my parents didn't put me in swim lessons until after I developed my fear...
brb
bye
later jellen
down to 14 now.
lil*monkey says "hi"...I'm chatting with her on FB...
hey monkey! *waves by proxy*
Hello babblers!
hey jilly!
Quite the grid today!!
How are classes going stid?
not teaching yet, jilly -- have a master's program all-day thingy on Friday (NOT looking forward to it), then two prep days next tues-wed, and kids arrive thursday...
*worried mama look* my lack of panic is worrying me...
lol, that's because you have it together!!
rofl... if ONLY! *chortle*
12 now... *sigh* so slow without lickety!
51 here...was happy with 1/2 yesterday, much easier with the larger grids...hard to accept here
go jilly go!
Hope Lickety is having a nice vacation!
half is easier for some reason... I didn't intend to get this far, but it seemed to go okay today.
My eyes are gradually seeing things...
that's how it works for me... a little bit at a time.
I try and think of it as a relaxing activity and not the FW achievement...I did say TRY....
*grin* it's hard for me to let go when I am in "school" mode. I drop in, decide I have X minutes to play and if I hit halfway before my time is up then I chat and keep working as long as I have.
babble keeps me "sane"
Yep, I need to learn from you as I am taking a graduate course; two sessions this summer, two next summer and all work due Dec 2011...gotta get to work on what is assigned for this year!
FINALLY got the last H...
yes, grad school at our age is rough.
One of my biggest concerns is writing at a grad level...it's been 31 years since I was last in college!! I have dumbed down I fear!
no... you will be fine with your writing. Remember that schools have writing centers... and many of us here at babble can help, too.
Babble words alone do!!
my best advice is what you already know... give yourself enough time to set the work aside and come back at least 24 hours later before you revise and edit. Also, have someone who is NOT familiar with the topic read it. Often my Tom has realized that my internal logic was inconsistent BECAUSE his mind couldn't fill in the blanks.
oh. down to ten!!!!!
Great idea! I also have a friend doing this with me. It's for a certificate in Youth Ministry and some homework involves holding meetings and trainings which we can do together.
it's going to cool down here A LOT, and start drizzling.
peekaboo
*realizes some fabric-type things are outside*
very good idea, jilly -- and so great to have someone to work with!
hey feather!
Ok, it's too early, but I need a clue for the ac5/12
itty bitty baby grid!
I was going to say "partner in crime" but realized that might not be the right phrase for youth ministers...
Hi feather!
zitted, jilly
oh! I was wrong, that is the 5/14. you want the one like the fancy mushrooms... ac + porc***
I have that one (ac5/14) need the other ac
ahhh ty!!
down to 8 feather, but about to go get supper. we are taking the kids to a movie last night, courtesy of raelite, who sent us some tickets.
wish i knew anything about mushrooms....
don't worry though, i'm just starting. i'll get there.
oh what fun!
okay, composer of pink panther theme: henry manc***
yes! the sorcerer's apprentice, which I had wanted to see but thought I wouldn't be able to afford!!!
ah, that got me there! not because i knew him, but because it made sense, if that makes sense
LOL no sense at all!
no cents either.
lol
stuck at 8....
I need two more 6 letter words. *thinking*
Hello, a veeeerrry late flip - I fell asleep at 8pm, and missed the early hours of the grid.
got one of them! down to 7
cattle. there ya go, a 6 letter word. OH! you mean one in the GRID!
hey Christine! (((hugs))) hope all is well for you.
grid? there's a grid? LOL
I guess I needed 8 hours, last night.
doesn't seem to be, as i'm not finding any words over there.
oh feather! STAY THERE.. I will load the pic of me in my teacher jacket.
hi christine
k
Hi! hi!!
wahoo! grayed a box!
go feather go!
me and my paltry 11 words here.
oh how colorful! i wanna see it closer! lol
Hey, you just started! I only have 22.
okay, there it is!
heh, i'm not used to going so slowly
I have 29m 'cos it wont take undie - as in one pair.
thanks feather, Mother and I finished it this morning.
I am going to post some pics of the process on my blog later.
but the Hawaiian goose is there
is it quilted? or is that just the fabric?
But now.... I need to get the kids their supper so we can meet Tom at the theater later.
oh, thanks!
it isn't quilted, just a lovely print.
k, have tons of fun! enjoy!
k. let me know when you've posted more pics! i love fabric.
beautiful jacket stid!!
(((feather))) keep my in your heart, okay? I am weirded out by the whole student-teaching thing!!!! one more week...
Bye stid!
you'll be fine! totally fine!
I will think of you too!!
I will, feather. And thanks also, Jilly. See you both (and lurkers) later. *leaves cookies on sideboard* *Poof*
trust me, you'll be TONS better than i was when i first started! i had no freaking clue.
mmmm, did she leave any with chocolate?
Hello again...
Hi Jellen *smiles broadly*
hiya jellen, how goes it?
i'll do that thing later tonight, the thing went through. lol, you know, the thing with the thing? and dem guys? i sound like a mobster.
It goes pretty well today...I declared it a day in...no outside errands...got a few things done...
excellent. how are you doing?
Oh, the thing dat youse guys was workin' on...
dat's da one!
I tend to 'cocoon' on days off...does worlds of good!!
I kept in touch with the outside world through phone calls, but that was my limit...
Tried to call shdy, but no answer...
when did you last talk with her?
Monday
She was on last night, but didn't chat much.
Oh, good!
i hope things are seeming a little less black for her
wonder if she's reluctant to chat with us, afraid we'll pounce on her
I think her mom lent her $$ to get AC fixed. Loan fell thru
Me too...I'd be hard pressed to be positive...what's his name cleaned her out, and her aircon broke down...
Yay for moms!!
moms rock.
i hate this grid.
Don't quote me who, but her AC was being repaired
I thought it was fun...
The grid is growing on me
bah. up to 22 now.
I hated it until I got the list from grem...
exactly halfway now, whoopee!
can't find the ce4/6; anyone care to clue please?
gonna go see about the thing....brb. LOL
I think she said she's been with this man for a very long time, which would make it harder to accept his rotten treatment of her - tho' she said on her profile that they were together 'for now'. Still, the end ofa long-time relationship ...
ce + I can't **cide if I'm going to give you a clue...
to hand over
Hi, Christine
Must have typed that wrong, I swear I tried it..ty jellen
denied and indeed, two perfectly good words that 'they' wont accept. Bah!
doing the happy da5/14 now!!
HiJellen - hear you've hade a vegging day?
Did you finish?
neither did wifi...think that's a well used word (ignoring it's an abbrev
hi everyone!
Not really vegging...just nesting...
Hi, lbd
Oh, Jilly ...
Yipes!! sorry, and no not yet Jellen
Hi Jellen, glad you're taking care of yourself! nesting and resting is good.
One should avoid the enter key..lol...off to pb!!
at a loss for words there, Jilly? lol
That's what I've doe almost every day, ssince I retired.
Ooh guess what, lbd?
Hi dawg, beautiful montana day wasn't it!!
what, Jellen?
I may rejoin the ranks of booksellers (part-time)!
yes, Jilly. not liking the forecast for the 90's tho
oh boy, Jellen! where?
At my former store, now owned by my SIL...
brb...grabbing food for brain power...28 to go!!
oh good. it will keep you busy!
Yes, but not too busy! And only in the afternoon!
what about the antique store?
I'm not going through with it...
i understand.
It would take a miracle to find someone to run it for me, because I'm a horrible business person...
i can understand that too. I'd be in the hole before i opened the doors!
The bookstore drained a lot of my savings before I gave it up...
as a passion, i'm better off not owning a bookstore, i'd definitely be bankrupt
28 left, and I think I ne4/5 a cuppa.
It's true!
a cuppa what, christine?
Well, gin's in the grid, but by the cupfull?
cupful + a very large tonic chaser! lol
brb
jellen, part one of the thing is done. the babble community has donated $100 in Tim's memory to melanoma.org.
Sounds good - and the sun's over the yardarm, somewhere in the world.
i would like to be in the catering business with my sisters. both are good at things i'm not, especially the money and the decorating
over the yardarm, here, christine! it's 6:23pm
almost 5:30pm, and the bloomin' thingie still wont take tiffin - aperfectly good wod.
lol
It's not in the grid
a phantom just like denied

Oh, that's wonderful, feather!
ed6= paradise-like

I'm saying this in front of witnesses...I will lost a dress (really swimsuit) size by the end of December!
lol - uh uh!
ok, we're gonna hold you to that jellen!
lol ruru
You are free to nag, harangue, whatever is necessary to keep me on task!

If you lose it, I'll probably find it!!! *shedding tears*
*goes to jellen's house and steals all the cookies to help the cause*
No, cookies, I think...
aha. got nbt now.
There's some chocolate I save for emergecies...
not one cookie in my house...
2 cookies in my house. got them for the boys, forgot to give them out.
grid's doing grey!!! whoop whoop!!
I may have some choc in the cupboard - but sweets are not usually my downfall
hershey's kisses in the cupboard.
"forgot" - sure
yayay jilly
i've pigged out so bad this week. combo of migraine and hormones.
yay jilly!
you sound like a foster farms chicken weed
Fireworks, Jilly? Hooray for you!!!!
have any of you seen an indie movie called TiMER?
foster farms chicken???
You keep jumping the gun, no have half grid grey, 24 to to go
foster farms fowl would have sounded better

whooops, doing should have been Going
mea maxima culpa!!
she's getting the grid to go grey. you gotta read between the words there! lol
ahh!
it's a montana thing! rofl
*pssst - no worries boob, we often don't get ru's references... just humor him*
so, will someone please explain the chicken thing to me?
ohhh, thought you "got" it kje! lol
no idea what ru is talking about
*face reddening*
here, have a cookie.
LOADED UP ON hormones AND STUFFING YOURSELF
ahhhh! ok, NOW i get it. and, :P
that's how it is done, weed! humor him
PHFFFFT!!!!!!!
*stuffs marshmallows in ruru's mouth, pats him on the head, and goes back to the grid*
yes.. I always have to explain myself to kje..
I try to keep it two syllables or less.. ya know she is from Texas..
hello babblers
actually, I am not FROM Texas
Hey, be nice to ruru...his humor is needed for this grid!!!
Hi TO
hi TO
Bingo!
be nice to ru? uh, no
LOL
it
Hi, TO
s hump day. it
hi TO
i WAS being nice! i gave him a treat, didn't i?
it
<--- wishes every day was hump day
LOL - was waiting for it... knew it was coming
is a four day week. dinner with an friend and a nice buzz. life is good.
sounds good, TO
kje, is The Year of Magical Thinking depressing?
better finish quickly before!
Good for you, TO!
well, I did not think so, but I was not living it
Hmmm...I'll give it a try tonight...
think I'll have a salad and a dry rose for dinner
it isn't "devotional" like your other stuff, jellen.... more about her life after her husband died
I had a sandwich for dinner
Then segue into another Stephanie Plum...
that's gourmet in texas kje
a very unhealthy sandwich
Just finished fresh tomatoes on cottage cheese and fresh grilled potatoes....yum! I love garden season!!
fluffernutter?
I had leftover tortellini and fruit...
i had veal saltimbocca that was way too salty. and an italian lemon drop that was not so good but very potent
cream cheese and olive
I have no fluffer
ugh
and killeer bruschetta
see, just the threat of dieting has us all chatting about food!!
and not sure I could eat it if i did
Oh, I had a great, unhealthy sandwich the other day...it was called Strawberry Fields...
i had a taco salad and homemade salsa
i don't like fluffernutters either, but it was the first unhealthy sandwich i could think of
<--- on a diet now..
potent lemon drops sound good
and i still have 28 left
fluffernutters?
what was on it jellen, cuz it doesn't SOUND unhealthy
Strawberries, cream cheese, red onion, spinach...think that's it...
... the hagen-daz free diet
i am getting thinner by the day. it is a bit unnerving.
I use to trade my sandwich for fluffernutters occasionally in school - my mom was a health food nut and would never have made us those
TO, i think i hate you.
kje i want to go sailing. sotry of my life, too chicken
that isn't unhealthy, jellen - all good stuff for you
I have no idea what fluffernutters are
i still don't know what a fluffernutter is...
why chicken?
... talk to weed about chicken
peanut butter and fluff (marshmallow)
fluffernutter = peanut butter and marshmallow cream
eeewwwwww
that sounds worse than the olives and cream cheese
don't like marshmallows in any form
My mom made peanut butter and honey sandwiches sometimes...
well, they weren't eeeewww when I was in grade school - it was like crack! sugar high! woohoo!
i'll take the olives and cream cheese
I like PB and honey
oooh, peanut butter and honey is good
dawg stand in line
yeah if you are elvis
and still eat PB and banana sandwiches a couple times/year
Stephanie Plum eats pb and olive sandwiches....
i like pb and honey and dill pickels!
sometimes i would blend the two together and put it on toast
we grew up eating PB and pickle sandwiches
ugh
haven't had one in decades though
*barfing now*
it sounds horrid, but it really is good
dill pickle - not sweet
it was surprisingly good - LOL
the sour and sweet along with the peanut butter
Speaking of disgusting things....they serve deep fat fried twinkies at the fair....
ew. just, ew.
lbd.. eternally pregnant
gag
bite your tongue ru!
i first saw fried twinkies in the UK years ago
LOL!!!
deep fried twinkies.. .for those who just can't get enough fat in their diet
they sold them at fish and chip places
i am sorry, kje, were you addressing me? have mercy, i am not all here tonight
and they also sold deep fried mars bars
musikfest had deep fired choco covered cheesecake
TO - go to bed while you can still walk - LOL
who are these people?
some place in NY does the whole fried candy bar thing.
they probably watch dog the bounty hunter religiously
what people?
he he he i am sitting. i wanted so to sail but was chicken kje
Okay, back to grid...help with hu4/12? Have the backside and tinted hu words
who eats this crap?
I never tried them, but lots of people ordered them
chicken of what, TO?
I've had a deep-fried Snickers bar. Once.
hu + most of frozen water
hi + 2/3rds frozen water
backside?
I did have the fried fish and vinegar though - mmmmm
how was it jellen?
my hubz would eat them, he likes sweet and he likes fried...me i'll take the pb and dill pickels
Kinda disgusting...
backside or deer
not sure. i actually called them last week to see if they had a vacancy
*barf*
have both of those...
oh, the hi instead of the hu?
did they?
I am starting to get confused
anagram of hi** and go seek
with all these conversations
there there dear.. just keep up with us
it's like a tower of babel. or babble .
he hi** it over the hill
lol, TO
*ducks from kje's swinging arm at ruru*
dawg, sorry my bad again. looking for hU
have both the hu4/7
he hu**ed and puffed and blowed the house down
ty!
blowed?
Spooky, lbd...I was just getting ready to type that!
yup, blowed!
ty dawg...definitely fishy
*snugging on foil cap*
is that Arkansas speak?
I never strike ru, words are usually enough
wow just jumped to 20 left
is there a list?
plus, he plays tennis and has a racket... so may not be wise
that's because I always wear a flak jacket around kje
arkansas?
good point
gremlinn has one, TO
brb
ty. kje as a matter of fact they did
my page too to
now i'm getting confused. going to focus on grid.
<--- knows how to swing a racquet
though, I could prob evade him by staying on the opposite side of the net - we know he can't jump nets without falling on his face
you should have come, TO
<------knows how to file incompetency papers
have un4/6 - do the other un words use un as a prefix?
will you be able to come my way kje? does it work?
all u words are un
un5 does
no weed - and I am very unhappy about that
awwww! man!
maybe later
*pouts* *for real*
undied
we will speak later
k. sniffle sniffle.
as in wearing panties, to?
i think it begs to be a plural
<==== Knows how to incompetently file papers
LOL tor
Heya tor
nice comeback torg
<--files by pile
Heyas kids .. That's my system too, Jellen
well, you guys missed the ref from this morning, but I have volunteered to testify at ru's competency hearing... I am sure you could all add your own anecdotes
I prefer to use stacks...not pile...sounds much better!!
in favor or against?
against competence - clearly... the case is too weak the other way and I like to be on the winning side
is the i word obscure?
No, TO
to start a riot TO
ty
i need 16 but am quicly losing focus here
*note to self...tell the NRA guy that KJE is having second thoughts about him*
*snicker*

G'night, feather

niters feather....
Wont accept ed4, but takes ed6 ...
Going to read for a bit...later, all!
((hugs)) Jellen!
Good night to those departing ..
nightnight, Jellen
Could use a nudge on that 3rd e word ..
et4, torg
*pokes tor*
Have that one and ed6 ..
or the california live oak, en6
ooh, i am frosted that enable won't accept eden but will accept its adjectival form
or the un word for underwear!!
i think that one need to be plural, Jilly
i think it mus tbe plural but i do think that either unde or undi appear in word lists
*heads for the PB*
I know....but in reference to reverse di4/6
nice dawg, how you left off the s- is there something in th epb you are craving/
might be the pb and pickles, TO
Thanx for the en6, lbd
deep fat fried pickles?
and unce is also a word we've had before
nononono, no deep fried anything
are you preggers? o.0 :D
no, have always like pb and dill pickles and honey. besides, too old for baby making.
i heard freid pickles are good'
Jillyjill - just received BonAppetit, & there's a recipe for fried bread-and-butter pickles.
lol...figures...taste has no bounds...
something in my brain says that really defeats eating pickles...i like the cold crunchiness. not hot sogginess.
at Fest we had deep fried dill pickles got good reviews
Cream cheese, pb and pickles is a good sammich
on a stick, no less. the only way to make deep fired better is to put it on a stick
My GreatAunt-by-marriage, in Texas, made tge best bread'n'butter pickles.
wonder who the tasters and reviewers were.
festers!
not a fan of fried anything
been ages since i've had a good bread and butter pickle. --cream cheese and pb. visually not very pleasing but i bet the taste is good
I'm with you TO!!
fi 5 ps?
My aunt used to put pb and jelly on pancakes...now that was good!!
Cream cheese, pb & apple is really good
except french fires and fish
fish and chips, and fried chicken...that's about all i'd care for in a fried menu
i love jelly on french toast and pancakes
rhymes with the ri-poison word, TO
I prefer jelly on my pancakes, waffles or french toast
ty need 5. and the alcohol is kicking in
fi5 is plural of mushroom class or ad vowel to fu4/9 regarding $$
hmm i need the other fu4
cream cheese and almost anything is good. note the almost!
hmmmm which one TO?
a face snack: cream cheese and a slice of pepperoni on a town house cracker
fu** in the sky of diamonds...change sometimes vowel to another
faVE not face.
pokes in for a sec: thin slice of genoa salami .. spread with cream cheese, place scallion in middle and roll up
cut into tiny pinwheels for fancy finger food
mmm stick one of those in your face
yum genoa with cream cheese = genuis
sounds good, welki! and hi Welki and Dan!
finally FW!!
dan please do!
(back to work..bbl)

ty. time to retire.
gnight TO
night night, TO
so what's the marvelous maggie up to, Dan?
hasta all, and ty!
Niters TO .. Sleep sweet x
she is up to grinning with her whole toothless face, as only a baby can :-D
and experimenting with her voice, and feet and hands
grinning...yup too cute! ooh body exploration! also a lot of fun, time to let her feel lots of different textures
when i get home from work, we play a little call and response game. I will say something and pause, and she will "speak" back to me. Oooh good idea about the textures
back again...
uhm, keep swiffer away, don't think he'd appreciate having hair pulled
hiya jellen (hugs)
welcome back, Jellen
I think swiffer is probably still too fast for her. She has a good grip, but not so much for moving things.
also she still stays where we put her, though she has rolled over a couple of times
shapes are also good for her to explore. lots of toys in different shapes and textures.
Swiffer...what a great name!
yep she's a fuzzy pomeranian who cleans the floors, so it fits!
any news on the puppies?
Good night all. I got more than i thought I would. Left 20 for posterity.
nightnight, Stidgmere!
biab
I'm sort of out of the puppy loop, myself. mrs2bit keeps in touch, and I assume no news is good news :-)

Hiya Jilly
My boy made it though all his surgeries and tried out for the school team and guess what? HE IS THERE - whohooooo
Congrats!

Sweeeet!! Glad to hear it River...
yaa for river jr;)
thanks jilly and all - I am so proud of him - hand on my heart....
well, popping out for awhile for scrabbling bbl
good night jilly
cross - no happenin' sad to say
you've been thru a very stressful time river. people deal differently. could that be part of it.
Not really GE - been awhile
indeed,you had to focus on your sons health of course and now things can get back to normal
yes stressful - not the cause
no normal here for a long time = dealing with it
anyways not for me to dig,tell him to get it together or ill come down there lol
yes, all men need crossy lessons
i am far,far from ideal hubby lol
love you too crossy...... needed that....time for bed - got early up for work
my elegant makes me morre that what i would be alone
good night river, rest well!

you are lucky to have each other - time to go = love you all - good night
G'night, river
hugs to all
apparently it is time to pick out wardrobe for school tomoorw. i must go find the skinny jeans! duty calls. good night friends :)

skinny jeans are no good for the tweenage girls..they think they are fat cause they out grow jeans with legs make for pipe cleaners;/
just my thought..i have no girls,just a sullen ,agst filled teenage boy
lol
angst*
evening all
Hi, Pini!
{{jellen}}
how's it going tonight?
back....hate to be dumb blonde, but is it you Pini or Peri that had the sick cat?
Fine...Watching Psych on TV...
Peri's cat is sick...
Pini has no cats :)
Jellen TY!! Have you heard anything lately?
And Pini...guess I'll still have to like you...hey, I can find you a nice cat??
Thought I heard the cat had improved...
Good last time I heard it was NOT doing well..several days ago
uh, I'll have to pass on the cat, Jilly...I'm not sure Koda and I would get along with one!
last i heard kitty was pooping ok and taking ear meds..if it is same kitty
11 to finish and it's like pulling teeth :/
I assume Koda is a pup? What kind? I have had both cats and dogs
Can I help, some are very hard to clue tho
Koda is my beagle...he'll be 3 in Oct
I don't know what I'm missing...
i have 31 left and fighting
i have yet to list
wift
oops
pini---our daughter's beagle lives with us and he's going to be 3 in september!!!
too bad it wasn't a good word, crossy
caught me fishing:/
aren't they the coolest, mcurl? (ps: HI!!!!)
How's your dau doing? better, I hope!
yes, not sure what her problem was but high fever and yucks
ooooh, sorry to hear she had a "bout"...but glad she's feeling better
Hi, mcurl
sorry, bowed out for a moment...my friends have a beagle...he's really a great pup
Oh, have to tell you I ordered gnocchi...had I been at home alone I would have licked the bowl, it was soooo good!
it's hard for me to say about the dog; he can make me laugh but to be honest I really didn't want anymore pets especially after moving in to our new house and tada....we've got a "squatter" LOL
Hi jellen
* giggle *
I'm glad you found something on the menu; I would have probably sat with stid and had nothing
I'd always been afraid of dogs...until my dau got her first one about 2 months before Koda "arrived"
It would have been nice to find a more "neutral" place, but I'm not familiar with the area...
we seem to be the "boarding" house! Her last dog ended up living here because she moved to Germany!
Stid said she went with that one because of it's closeness to the market. It was ok. It wasn't to food that mattered it was the great company!
t'was good company...sorry you had to leave so soon!
next time will be even better
hi mccurl, hi pini!

I'm sure it would!

Mary aka m9f9l and I are long-lost friends from high school and I got her addicted to babble, she caught me up and told me abt the meetup

Portland is far for us...
it's always stuck...remember I'm slow on the uptakes! LOL

pini i had to order a new battery for my blankity blank phone
bugsaw learned about bourbon...

very cool sammy
gotta look at the moon, brb
we'll do mini meets in pdx, and go to oly or seattle for bigger ones...
if you thinks about it give the link to jell
that's how we roll
glad to hear that was the problem and nothing more major!
me too!.. although there's been fires in the area...
will do, jmc ;)
i went to the verizon store and they said battery is $39 but you can get a new phone early IF you pay us $20 and give up your $30 credit
Hullo?
but we DO have two moons1
hiya jellen!
That's no moon....
i said so I can save $39 if I lose $50 how is that a good deal?
Hi jellen!
is Mars the divit out of the bottom of the moon?
ROFL...you're too smart, jmc! :)
jell! i have the link for you *runs out of chog to get it*
jmc's link: http://site.kuwesawidows.org/
going to look at moon and mars...
m9, like the way you think. Make sure you fb chat or email me to make sure I know about it, lol
Remember not to look at the moon directly, or you may damage your eyes.
* shaking head at grem *
too late grem
grem, that's the sun, silly
back
http://site.kuwesawidows.org/
OH YEAH!
I looked straight at sun today.
it was red from the fires..
..... but this si not an eclipse, just the appearance of mars behind and beside it
er grem that is the sun dear not the moon which is reflected light
I knew I was doing it wrong.
I just blankedy blank stuck my camera card in wrong spot on front of my puter...
very cool
Thanks for the link...
uh...whoops, m9
I always knew about the "man in the moon" and have known about the "rabbit in the moon" for years, but I only recently learned some people see a "lady in the moon".
