Two Pi8; 1 Pi9 == Good night!
night erda!
hi/bye erda
we played that with a couple in Kimberley, haven't played it since (must be over 45 years ago)
you'd think I would know what to look fir for the pi 9
played about 30 years ago here flosey... would definitely need a refresher...
lol ru
I can't even remember when I last played it.
my dad wouldn't let us learn how to play it...
any other 8's called besides the pi?
those are the only 8's I have
oh my, pini! Baptist?
I don't have any others
not jumping out at me...
neither do I
no...it was "his" game...
co8/45
Wow -- pretty possessive, pini!
we got to learn how to play cribbage ;)
no kidding...
I would love to learn cribbage
ty jess mom looking
My parents taught me bridge (ancient version)
Dee...I play online if you're ever interested
yes, I do, co8/45
it's a compound
I'll have to read up on it pini
;)
wd flosey@corn
holler if you ever want a game :)
ty
I found a co 8 that isn't a compound
phantom: cologne
thanks ru, looking
Lickety shows 3 co8s
think of the first 13 states flosey
I have two co8s that aren't compounds
danke ;)
ty ruru
ah, found one of them
phant -- colonel
the other I have is kids with crayons.
I can't see the compound
have all 3
the compound is, imho, silly
can't see the compound :(
have 2 co 8/45 what are stats on the third co
me either
the funny thing about the compound is that I'd reverse the words and think it sounds better
all three are 8/45
apparently it's a blood sucking bug
ty freep
you mean like the IRS flosey?
hi freep!
lol,
hi, jilli, dee, and all
(hollow laughter for ruru)
hugs freep
hollow or hallow?
hollow
I have the original 13 co 8... and those who co 5/12 with crayons... what is the 3rd?
lol
I just guessed it
think pinochio dee
not spelled correctly
* thinking *
I was thinking the tip of the space shuttle... but reversed
got it ;)
think Ice cream + sticking your snozz in it
I tried the reverse of that one, freep...you're right, it makes better sense ;)
ty ru and freep -- got it!

night ruru
sorry I am conking out
I wouldn't even be here if I had driven 400 miles today
you're allowed, ruru.
I have a big case of the yawns
I have a headache, should be smart and put it to bed
you had quite a full day too, jilli
sounds smart, flosey!
would like to try for 100 words!! 16 to go
did a lot of reading on the ferry and waiting for the car to get serviced so eyes are tired and not seeing words here.
I'd like to get halfway -- have 105 now.
oh, good for you
107
go, jilli, go
haha!
that funny eh!
Oh, poor bugsaw! Boil water advisory for her town.
oh dear, that's such a nuisance
Huge fire south of San Francisco -- gas line burst
as you can tell, I have the news on TV ;)
oh, nasty one
think I'm going to push to get a tv in the livingroom - we've both been against it, but a nuisance having to go downstairs
the flat ones are so obvious now, flosey
will have to work on it
I meant are NOT so obvious, duh.
wondered!
94
You can hang them up like a picture.
is that 94 to find or found?
lol, and have my online pictures showing like a slide show!!
have 94, 6 to go, then off to bed
sure!
jilli, can I send you my recent pic of Wm?
please do!
should make you smile
That co8/45 word, if you switch the two parts, its part of a space probe, but not in the dictionary?
crazy dictionary -- hi Christine!
Hi, Jillibus, hi all.
on it's way, jilli
over halfway, hooray!
wtg jilli
Often I forget to move the cursor, and type a word into the chat: just now I typed my "hellos" into the word box. May be time for bed.
4 more for me (for 100
Christine, you need Expert (unless you have a Mac)
I need a new head
1 more
not at all
gogogo flo!
Ithink you've explained Expert, but would you explain again, please.
Go!! Flosey.
100 down, 124 for tomorrow
and goodnight all
Goodnight,
Expert has many features, including a box where if you type one word it goes to the lists (including Lickety's), and more than one word goes to the chat.
How do I get that?
Well done, flosey -- see you tomorrow!
You just email Lickety -- it's free. Let me know if he doesn't send it -- I think sometimes he doesn't read his email.
yes, but I'll probably be up much earlier than you, Jilli
Thank you, I'll do that.
It also puts everything on one page -- his list, the grid etc and the chat. And it has a link to morewords, a2z, and the reverse dictionary among other things.
Yeah, probably, flosey ;)
great pics of Kathleen and Tom, Jilli
brb
Thank you, Jillibus; I emailed Lickety.
I thought they were fun, flosey!
Let me know, Christine, when you get Expert, ok?
I will, Jillibus
or if you don't hear from Lickety...
Thanks again. I'm closing now, but I'll let you know, tomorrow.
Night Christine!
morning all
'morning, Sprite ... goodnight, Jillibus & everyone still on line.
night Christine, sleep well
hi sprite -- my icon really is a clue, not just a leftover from the last theme, lol!
It may not be familiar in Europe, though.
lol! I did see your icon yesterday, it was great
yes it is, although under other names, I think
Thanks! I still see your cards here, but not when I click on it.
refreshing babble would solve that probably
Refreshing doesn't work for me any more -- have to shut down and come back now. Anyway, it's bedtime for moi, so goodnight and *poof*
sleep well jilli

damn, sorry
Hello, All :-)
Phantom :Troll

no idea Jay
I have just checked Jayk & lickety clues are up
licketys is up.

Morning, Jayk, Kallia & Dachef :-)
yep, defo. Been referring ro it off and on for the last half hour.
I am finding no `E`s yet..lol
I have 2 blank tiles, both e's and I am almost 2/3rds done lol
I know a bloke might be able to get you some, but hes a bit dodgy.
LOL, Dachef
Kallia are they fishy `E`s?
have all the top e's....should I tangle with dogy men?
nope zoozz
why stop now???
didgy
okee dokee
lol indeed why?
come on then spill;)
dodgy...all over the place with my spelling
dodgy people are far more fascinating company than 'normal' people.
epee
poo,sorry
no good zoozz..
oh well was not a word any way..lol
you would think i should know by now to put the cursor in the other box.
ecoli is not there either
I do it all the time zoozz
so it is not Kallia, bloody phantoms..lol
yay got one :-)
I'm waiting for the dodgy man to help out :)
maybe he has had too many `E`s lol
yeah lol
el5: e and a cut of meat; en4: north european race of people; en5: to join a list; en4: same as above minus middle letter; eo4: a long time.
You are the man, dachef..thank you so much :-)
ty dachef...2 e's taken :)
Phantom : Enroll
one l zoozz
actually, i think that should put me in PB..sorry about that.
yeah, just got it from the clue Kallia..i thought it was two l`s :-(
yep, will let you off that one
better go get something done, back later to finish of,,bye for now
Take care Kallia :-)
Thanks Dachef for those, now have all the `E`s & NBT! :-)
ur welcome.
hello, kids!
Hello, George :-)
hello, zoozzoom!
or Michael!
don`t mind which :-)
good god, just saw the most obvious of 4 letter words for me, shoulda been the first I saw, lol! I found lots of big words but missed this one!!
must learn to look backwards, up!
i am finding mostly phantoms..lol
well I do, just not as much as I should, ha!
yeah, these grids are haunted!
LOL
1/2 way with the blasted C's
Good going Grannie :-)
yeah, I have 29 of 'em, not listed yet though
(started this earlier)
thx zooz, grrrr
i have 19 c's left and am almost certain the others do not exist. Gonna have to go to the list to prove my ineptitude once more. Sigh.
Pini's clobbering me in an online scrabble game!
yeah, they must do, Dachef, coz I have 29 of 'em!
think i am going to list later.
and there's 56 in total, what 'fun', not!!
yeah, I like to hold off listing as long as possible!!
Pini is good at scrabble so i have been told George.
have 136 words, 88 left
okay, im up to 39/56 now. Thats it. Bugger em.
i have 138 left, been going for just over an hour now.
eh? from 19 to 39 C words in a coulpe of minutes!?
don`t blame you Dachef.
couple, even? ha!
no, i said i had 19 left to find.
oh, you have 39 left? was looking at what you said at 5:28 (according to this)
Why isn't 'rort' a word?
BBL
Hello everyone
actually, now I have only 12 left, but Im using the list and inevitably proving that a) I really am thick and b) I really should be doing something more productive!!!!
well if your thick, then so am I, in that case!
<< thick mick!
it might be used only in australia & new zealand i think.
Hello, SaraY & Lynxxx :-)
coz 'rort' isn't a word, SaraY, that I know of!?
is it a word there??
well if so that's new to me!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rort
goto go, take care all *poof*
george, that means nothing. Hardly any of those c's are words in the proper sense of the, er, word.
apparently is is from an old English - rorty
well I'll be...something! gobsmacked? yeah, that's it!
bye Zooz
You are probably right - it means a dodgy practice or a situation where someone tries to take advantage of someone else, usually in a financial way.
oh yeah, Dachef? well I'll soon C, ha! listing now....
oh yeah? learned something new for today, ta!
wonderful, I have earned my keep!
besides how to be patient waiting for my roof and bedroom ceiling to be repaired!
How are you Dachef - and where are you. Last time I saw you, you were trying to get them to let you in again
hi lyn, yeh, back in UK again. Waiting for the company to get their arses in gear now and get the sponsorship for my visa sorted. Hopefully shouldnt be too long.
oh, to get let into the US, Dachef?
hello everyone
they won't let me in!!
hi Espritd
hello, Jean
yeh, need a 3 year visa. Why cant you get in?
I'm rounding up prayers for my brother. I am going to his funeral tomorrow
I am sure the company will be able to convince them that you are irreplaceable
eh, well, legal situation shall we say, something that wasn't my fault -- called extortion! meanwhile they've got plenty of real criminals over there they should be a lot more worried about, madness!
oh Espritd, that is very sad ((hugs)) will be thinking of you
and I don't want to live there, just go over to work for a temporary period of time!
Thinking of you EpritdJean, not too much that could be worse xx
but even a few weeks, even one week? no way, not happening!
it was suicide
I never wanted to live there either until I spent a lot of time there and fell in love with the weather! Also, its where the work is, so its far better for me to be there. Kicking my heels back here, v. frustrating.
oh Jean so sorry to hear it, didn't notice until just now, how awful for you, very very sorry!! xx
What can I add, my heart aches for you and your family xx
0h dear even worse - so sad and bewildering for those left behind - my sympathy for your family
ty all, if you pray, please say some for him and his sons
yeah, that really is awful, will do, Jean! xx
of course
just did, Jean, hope someone's listening!
ty so much
He is always listening
your very welcome!
yeah, I thnk so!
think!
yeah, Dachef, I've been over quite a lot, have always enjoyed it but home's here, weather and all !
i have always had itchy feet tho - in various career incarnations ive lived all over the world!!!
oh yeah? I've travelled all over the world, but only lived here in the UK, aside from having a flat in Manhattan for a while when I was working over there a lot (shared with a friend), which I didn't live in full time or permanently, and a place in Ibiza
its good to travel, meet fascinating people, see amazing things. The world is not a small place anymore.
yeah, I do too much of that at times though, miss home and getting enough rest! staycations are good!!
always worthwhile taking guesses in this game, find quite a few words I guess at actually work, ha!
holy crap have y'all aeen the pics out of san bruno?
Yep - what a mess. Gas company says they will take responsibilty if their fault - reckon there will be hell to pay
pg&e was the company erin brokovich was up against
yeah, horrible!
stunning
you talking about yourself again?
yes...if u could see me...u would agree <snort> i have a set of luggage under my eyes these days
??
who was that to?
lol
luis vuitton of course
did you mean me saying 'horrible!' or carleekat saying 'stunning'? ha!
I must look horrible or something, coz I got stared at on the tube a couple hours ago by two older queens, was odd!
u crack me up george
yeah, you and a few mirrors? lol!
knackered..i am so knackered
think I'll give this a miss until the morning - night all
go read the updates I've just been tweeting and posting on yahoo then, careleekat, ha! I post them on both my twitter and yahoo page at the same time, coz even though I've got my tweets streamed into yahoo, they don't show up there for hours or even a day!
night!
nitenite lynxxx...take care and sleep well
oh..i have twitter george
you say knackered over there? had someone from there laugh when I used the word!
i log to it way more often then yahoo
yeah, well you can stream your tweets into your yahoo page then, carleekat!
same name..carleekat@hotmail.com
well yeah, but I don't use twitter for personal reasons like yahoo--twitter's just, well you know
i dont like yahoo
good morning, babblers and many prayers and hugs for EspritdJean and your family
god I'm a good multitasker!
well yahoo's where I connect with family
took me ages to figure out my password and to be honest i kept using a bunch and i didnt realise i was logged in after a point so i dont know which password worked
and personal friends
i use fb and twitter
that was meant to be in one post but got posted before I wanted, dunno how?
no, my twitter and fb are professional pages only, for thos sorta updates, yeah, some more personal but I save the more personal stuff for yahoo coz that page doesn't have to be public and isn't!
ic...well... i still am not a yahoo user really
I keep the two very separate, too much trouble with stalkers harrassing me and whatnot! don't want them seeing who all my family and m8s are!
had one hack into some accounts of mine and my sister's, wasn't fun, nearly lost our accounts, had to change passwords quickly and more than once in one night!! lucky we were online together when it all happened!
hello everybody
weird,,,, mind i use arabic words and so... is hard to hack
busy morning, no time 'til now
ooh yeah? that's a good idea, carleekat!
what happened to espritjean? I just came on
today is her brother's funeral, ruby
and...even if u guess the word..( as if)..its a phonetic alphabet so everyone spells the words in our alphabet differently
oh no! how old was he and was it unexpected?
oh crap...
she asked for prayers for her brother who's just died, ruby, it was suicide and it's his funeral today
that's horrible!
we had that ahppen here a young boy ( 15) at my kids' school... funeral is today
I've been to two suicide funerals this year - there's nothing worse
oh, my god, carlee, how awful
tele
one of ours was a teacher - last March
sorry, that is very upsetting news. I didn't realize there were so many suicides. I've only known one
he was on football and rugby school teams...gorgeous and an over achiever
he was REALLY well liked..so i have no idea...popular..on school teams... good looking...most kids dreams in Hs
yes, it's really horrible, can't be anything worse than that really, very tragic someone should do that!
that's what makes it so difficult - you feel as if you never really knew the person - grief mixed with regret, anger - it's too overwhelming for those left behind
it sure is, JBV, so hard to imagine or understand
we had counseling at school - I'm sure you do too carlee, but most families have to go through this without help
i did not know him..just watching it all on fb
got the pi 8 and 9
hi annie :)
hello annie
phantom pioneer isn't one of them, hah
hello all

and me what, ruby?
Happy New Year??
I've got pi7.36 and pi8.50 (pl.) but don't know how! Something to do with a game perhaps.
A happy and healthy new year
yeah, it's a card game Sara!
I remember it from a song where they played pi*** on his snout!!
to me, ruby? no, I'm not Jewish, even though I do have a magen david tattoo! I had a Jewish partner for several years, long time ago when I was young!
<< Irish Catholic, though not practising!
but now you're a permanent (if peripheral) part!
eh? who, me?
I though pi&, the card game, had a h in it!
no, no H in that, though yeah, I thought I had seen it spelled like that years ago?!!
perhaps we confuse it with the wooden boy's name?
who knew?
lone e pls
So did I, and I'm glad to see it also has a plural.
spelling wise?
that's it, George!
I should have said pi*****/*
that is obscure and funny, sara
Thanks rubyfoo, you have made my day (or rather night as 10.06pm here)

I don't even understand it...I feel stoopid!
eh? Jelly Babies are sweets, so are Licorice Allsorts, you don't have those there?!? sorry, if not!
lol George. Think All Sorts are a UK thing.
any other Brits about????
All Sorts, Allsorts? don't happen to have a packet of them here to check, ha!
I have never heard of them. Sorry!
However, the joke is funnier now that I know what they all are! : )
One word, my mistake. Allsorts.
eh well, I'll have to be more careful to share more internationally friendly jokes, lol! my mistake, soz!
yeah, but never as funny when you hafta explain it!
sorry about that!!
(Well I laughed)
Hey, its how we learn about other countries! Don't stop!
yeah, thought it's all one word, how I remember it!
George, wanted to ask you about your raw food. Did you just change completely overnight as it were, or did you gradually change? And was it difficult to do?
more or less, yeah, but I've always eaten a lot of raw foods in my diet, you know, salads, fruit and all that, and I'm not strictly raw, just eat mostly raw, do eat some cooked things, I love to cook--just eating a mainly raw diet with some things cooked, opposite of how I used to eat and how most do!
the more raw food I eat, the better I feel!
That's what I wondered, if you felt better for it.
soups are my thing, I'm one of these no recipe, taste as I go sorta cooks, always made really good soup!
some of that is raw soup in summer now, but I cooked up a big pot of soup the other day
May I please have a clue for the 2nd E in the 2nd column from the left for NBT?
Are you saying you make raw soup? Have only looked at some of your links, not all.
blimey, that's the only tile I've not got any words from yet, yeah, need that!
Messages crossed there, sorry.
yeah, you can find recipes for those in those sites!
e5...to join
well I should post links to more raw food sites, yeah, might do that soon!
TY Phae!
Thanks for the info George.

I was thinking Fifths (sp?) Disease
wtg car
what time were you going to go? I have some time between students
She has never had one and I want to share this extreme bliss with her!
The kids get on the bus around 11:30 and then I was going to go. It is Pembroke though. Maybe too far for you to go.
no? not really? even anti make-up me has had a pedicure *looks at perfectly polished toes*
Hmmm. No, I think I had better decline your kind offer. Though I am most sad to have to. would LOVE that!
Good for you JMC!
does you place do the extra massage and defoliating?
Of course...and you sit in a massage chair whilst it is happening!
if they exfoliate my feet there will be nothing left!
Well, let's try to pick another time then Trif!
I find it so amazing how many pressure points are in your feet that affect all other areas of your body!
OMG, I have once again forgotten that the chog is eternal. that lovely missal I just entered will exist for all time. wheeeeeee
LOL! No worries Trif!
Good grief! How did I miss JU 4?!?!!?

LOLOLOL
okay i am off to do battle with Comcast the bas****s
bbl
wait wait wait -- what are you battling them about? I have had no phone service for four days
ooh, good luck with that, jmc. never fun.
hi all
i am dropping everything except my cable (I have no choice or that would go too)
I HATE COMCAST!!!!!!
so they will charge me until they get the modem but they will only pick it up on the 17th and then for a charge
oh dear. well, good luck then.
can you return it to one of their locations?
i switched phone and internet and travel modem to clear for much less $$$
phantom: enclose
yes trif across town -- of course
there is a nearer one but it is in MD so they will not accept it there
but at least that is better than paying, right?
hi boo!
bye all
is what they will charge you to pick it up more than the metro fare?
anything is better than paying and yes lots more
Bye JMC! Good Luck!
I vote for the train ride, then. but good luck either way!
car, are you working this sunday?
Yes, I am supposed to.
there is a film being shot in weymouth, and they are looking for extras for a nightclub scene....
OK...so Mom has gone off for an appointment. We discussed wether or not we needed groceries at least 6 times. I told her NOT to buy anything as we do not need anything and do not have room. What are the odds she will come back with groceries?
what appointment?
podiatriest
did you write it down for her?
* podiatrist
oh, poor man!
OK. We are heading to the playground for a bit. BBL!
*sneaking up on Trif + Car*
scrabbler! how are you? are you back from your travels, or still on the road?
SCRABS!!!! {{{hug}}} Glad you caught me!
Hi kids!
bye car! its GAWGEOUS out, so enjoy!!!
I was in Ithaca Sat-Mon--wonderful place!
See you in a bit!
Boohoo, I have not seen sunshine since Tuesday!
did you see the college?
morning all
Not Ithaca College, although when kayaking on Cayuga Lake I saw it on the hill. We walked around Cornell for 3 hrs--amazing, beautiful campus.
that sounds lovely, scrabbler, delighted to hear you had such a good time!
good morning pini
I love college campuses, esp old stone or brick buildings.
Pini, how are you?
co8 ater the ice cream holder?
G'morning, kje. I met those cute boys, Daniel + Nick, on Monday.
phantom: penguin
not too bad, yourself?
co8 = ice cream holder + face smeller
On vacation, so doing well. It's amazing how well I sleep when not stressed.
were they as cute as weed makes them appear?
TY, Pini--odd word.
ty pini
(still think it makes more sense to be reversed) :)
Yes, kje! Daniel is quite shy initially, and very guarded. Later when hiking he was my buddy, holding my hand and chattering away. Nick is full of spunk--fearless, animated!
as I would guess... ick has never met a stranger, daiel is all quiet ad cerebral
halo, Pini, how's you, love?!?
Temp will drop to 40 tonight. I try to not turn on my furnace til October. Yikes.
see my blog, Pini, put in a video I shot of my bedroom ceiling, lots of fun, ha!
hi geo...good, you?
Hi George
did you get it repaired, geo?
hi Scrabbler, your a keen scrabble player are ya? same here, Pini's clobbering me in an email game now, aren't you, Pini?!! ouch!
not until Monday, Pini, it's covered over though temporarily, what a bloody mess!!
I love playing Scrabble but that doesn't mean I am a superstar at it, although I am improving.
If I studied and memorized the 2 and 3-letter words I could make great progress.
* blush * the tiles have been falling onto my rack with a lot of luck!
okay, I am off for a bit....take care all, and great love all around
Bye, Trif. Enjoy the day.
have a good one, trif ;)
or just play better players, scrab
Bye
How wonderful, Pini!
can learn them that way
i walk in and Trif is talking about her rack! Hmmmm...
Hi Sara + GE
Oops Pini! It was you!
I walk in and I think what is Trifs been cooking and is on a rack
* giggle *
kje, I have the Scrabble "cheat sheets" from the internet--2 pages packed with the essentials.
Hi Scrabbler
Hi herin
HI
en5?
scrab - i you buy the scrabble PC game, it has tutorials on it which is way fuer than memorizing sheets
en5 = register for school - one stick
hello everybody
I have the Hasbro Scrabble CD
hi ruby
back for a few minutes, 95 words before
Hi Ruby
Rubs I was thinking of you
doesn't it have tutorials on it, scrab?
ty pini
Maybe it does + I haven't found them, kje.
yvw ;)
brb
137 to go and may have to call it a night at 11.57pm - Friday is Ben Day so always leaves me a bit tired. Ben is my 21-month old grandson who I look after on Fridays. Too much energy!!
Toddlers sure are exhausting to watch.
how are you herin?
I am so happy my fav people are on tv
how fun, Sara...enjoy!
does anybody play lexulous on facebook? if yes, I'd be willing. It's nancy kelley on FB
Good
I just saw the Hawaiian goose.
Sara that sounds fun
I play Lexulous scrabble by email or on Lexulous!
Yes, I will create a game for us, Ruby.
Pini's clobbering me in an email game!!
he flew right past and I never saw him, scrabs!
will do, ruby
George is that a head piece you are wearing or just an amazing amount of hair?
I'm nellie kelley, what's your lex name, george?
I usually play blitz games in lex but FB games are once a day
XP7073, ruby
oh yeah, it's my real hair of course!
and for short? hahah
I like the purple.
I wish I could have purple again
56 C words! Wow!
I don't play games on Face-ache, ruby! don't do anything personal there, only a 'business' page run for me mostly, but I play Lexulous scrabble on that site or by email, scrabble on yahoo as well!
yeah Scrabbler, only found 37 of 'em so far!
140 to go. I need a break.
we have houseguests coming next week and I forgot that it was Ramadan so I'm having trouble locating a halaal leg of lamb.... woe is me!
still here, Pini? see my bedroom ceiling all over the floor? ha!
geo...im plz
George don't you mean facebitch?
yeah, all right?
i thought it was FaceCrack
last le6?
Good morning, Babble braniacs. I prefer to call it "Face Bash".
Faceache is a comic here, this lad who makes horrible faces all the time!
hello judi
how about any le6 kje?
Didn't know that. EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Can someone tell me if they have seen hide or hair of Nancy lately?
re + easter season?
first le6 is a plural, foo... le5 le+1
Need clues..
herin - nrkii? or nancethean?
ty pini
Nancyboy
hola herin. just popping in + out here. havent chatted with NB since last week, though i have spied his status as "online" now and again. methinks he is keeping mum about his korea trip and his new relationship status. ;)
not in about a week
Have seen Nrkii lately
Thanks EVa
I wish the damn cat would get her fuzzy butt of the heating vent
Hiya, Eva. NB did not have a very good time in Korea - he really doesn't want to talk about it. I don't know details. He said he might post a condensed version of the trip's doings under his icon.
he told us he didnt really wanna hafta relay all the trip details, then blurted something about him + frank being a couple, then he vacated the premesis! no fair, if you ask me, to share such news and then, well, NOT share! hehe
best word on my own: co8/45
I just wanted to see if he was ok. Not wanting gossip or anything
He's okay, herin. Just working a lot lately.
Ta
good morning all... I just got that one too, ruby :)
*chuffed*
hahah lexo
and playing a lot, im sure too. ;)
Have a look at NB's profile awwwwwww
would one of you kind people please answer a question for me? I have been dabbling at babble for a while now, but I haven't figured out what the heck "PB" means! pls enlighten me!
The place you go when one blurts words into the grid
Penalty Box
PENALTY BOX. It's really rather more of a rehab spa than anything.
I understood the concept, but just didn't get the initials! thx...lol
....where one may find food on occasion? ... seen many references to goodies in the PB!
we plan virtual parties there from time to time
what a lovely group of folks you are!
most of the time....
Thanks, Lex! You are correct, of course.
but we go through our share of tragedies, meltdowns, illnesses, etc., too
what is wonderful and really comforting is that there is almost always somebody in here, round the clock
often, the PB is more luxurious than outside the PB. sometimes we MAY "accidentally" blurt out words just to get sent there. ;) chocolates, champagne, cabana boys...
good morning everyone
hello flosey!
as I said, I've been observing for a while, so I've lived a bit vicariously through reading the chog...
well I was about to tell off the wrong cat
isn't the PB where the cabana boys hang out?
hi flossey
woof, herin!
I'm too old for cabana boys, unless they cook and do dishes
did someone say "chocolates, champagne AND cabana boys?!?!?" is it actually heaven?!?!
ruby, darling, cabana boys do whatever you tell them to. THATS the beauty of them.
and, well, yknow... their beauty. ;)
uh oh, martini time in Dixie! see you later
thank you, Eva, I'll keep that in mind!
*poof*
those are some great "C" words... too bad they're not in the grid amongst the virtual mountain of "C's"
bye ruby, have one for me
def not martinee time in dixie
nor here... it's 9:25 am....
where are you lex?
its 5 o'clock somewhere!
Edmond, OK
it is 1230am here in Aus
dallas, tx - we are on the same time
same here as well, kje
i'm in mississippi
been in OK for almost 4 years... near HOuston for 12 yrs prior to that... originally from South Louisiana... Cajun girl!
well, dont i feel like the east-coast-outcast.
my other word-game addiction is "wordsplay" and there it seems the southerners are definitely the minority
I'm there with you Eva - good morning everyone
mornin, river
Hi River
or here - where ever I am....
morning river and everyone
sigh I have lost my jumper
hello vlcl - havent seen you for a while
Hi Vlcl
1st so5?
wow two wordsplay friends at the same time
have been quiet
dont have it yet kje
something about being on the east coast, river -- we dont know where we are most of the time. ;)
havent seen you on wordsplay, river, do you still play?
haven't listed... dont
so + I really need to ***an my house
sorry...
ty river!
Right time for bed have to get up early
I do from time to time - havent been on this week yet though
thx river, didn't have that one
and dont forget the plural on that so
I am poodletoes on wordsplay
got it
changed your name - cute
oh, hi poodletoes! don't you usually play 5's?
I do both - usually 5 at night
5's is so hard for me... so used to the 3 and 4 letter words
not very good tho so I join team
darn - my boss is calling me again - got to go - bbl
bye river.... I'll do teams on 5's (not No4's tho!)... but always solo on 4's (not usually enough words to go around)
yeah, me too
phantom word - cloister
ugh. poor fiance has been trying to get in touch with XM radio to have his unit replaced. their customer service is truly terrible. weeks ago they told him a new unit was on the way. we waited, but it never arrived. when he called to find out where it was, they confirmed that it was never sent. in the last 2 day, he has spent over 2 hours on the phone with them, mostly on hold and being transferred around. and then they just keep dropping his calls. in the meantime, we have already pre-paid for service he isnt receiving. they are lucky it isnt ME on the phone, otherwise they would be hearing an earful.
I keep imagining: select, elect and correct
my phantom: orient
hate dealing with companies to try to make them do the right thing... so much "customer service" is... NOT!
we have gone head-to-head with comcast almost every month. i never used to have these problems, but it is becoming the norm now! and with so many companies, you really dont have much of a choice about which company to use. its either get the service or dont.
*sneaks in and pours a bowl of custard over eva's head*
comcast are a nightmare
do you have them in the UK also? ::licks custard from lips::
no thank goodness
i read an article about comcast...they grew too fast and can't keep up with customer relations...they are rated the worst in the business
its so true. they really are terrible.
but everyone I know over there who ha them have had issues
yep...they don't take the time to train their techs or the phone personnel
our roommate had exchanged one of the cable boxes we had. unfortunately, he didnt keep the receipt. we noticed that not only were they charging us for the new box, they were still chargins us for the old box -- and ALL the movies being ordered on it.
we went to the office and explained that we no longer had the box, but had lost the receipt, and apparently, without the receipt, they had no way of knowing that the box wasnt ours, since in their system, it was still listed under our name and address.
we suggested that they send out a signal and trace where it was coming from, but they said all they could trace was that a signal was being returned, not where it was. then we suggested that they shut off all service to that box, and hopefully the people who had it would bring it in. they said they would, but all they shut off was the On-Demand service. the people were still using it and ordering pay-per-view movies on it.
yikes! will they just continue to charge your account?
ffs!
each month, we had to call and complain to get those charges taken off our account. they told us that if we couldnt prove we didnt have the box, we would have to pay for it (like $500!)
their own servicemen came out several times and saw that we only had the 3 boxes we claimed to have, not this mystery 4th one.
i think, somehow, finally, dear fiance managed to get it taken off the account. i have NO idea how he finally convinced them, but for the last 2 months, we havent been charged for it.
::sigh:: such drama.
140 down... think I need a break... bye all
bye lex.. gm everyone
hi rur
oops hi ruru
hello bo
oops boo
lone
oops pb time
bad Boobear, bad, bad! ha! cozy in the PB?
there's a pot of my veg/barley soup in there for ya!
just made some up earlier, went down a treat!
ty I aM HUNRY
so sorry it was a mistake
eh, one we all make from time to time!
I think I need an excuse to enter in to the PB for some soup...
yeah, help yourself, red!
plenty more where that came from, made a massive stock pot full! there's even some left after Christine's been into it, lol!! glad she can't see this or she'd swat me for it!
I am sooo tired, sometimes I swear all I want is a butler to bring me things....
yeah, know that feeling only too well, I do!! don't have one though!
probably in the end would not be worth the money, but the idea is nice...
I am finding this grid to be rather difficult I am almost half way, but wow...
56 c's is rather daunting
oh man, i had not even looked, I only have 23....
yeah I only have a zillion to go
how are you and Dylan doing?
fine.. thanks.. he's 60 lbs now
how old?
9 months
he's lean though. not overweight
That sounds lean. teulu was about that weight at 9 mos, he then suddenly got a lot bigger, Now I think he is about 5 lbs over what he should be...
when it gets a bit cooler here he can start doing some longer walks.
we have to wait until 7 to go for walks or early in the a.m.
Good afternoon all........
Yes, its still 80 degrees here at about 6:30 in the morning, so he gets a little one at 4 am, then a longer short one at about 10....then another short one at 2, and then....again around 6...and on
hi caitlyn
ga caitlyn
and with that I must dash!
80 degrees sounds good to me !
bye for now red
Morning all!! The C's are daunting, but fortunately, there are lots of plurals!
Hi Jilly
Hi caitlyn and ruru!!
I need help with the last co 5/12
not that far, sorry ruru
that hot, red? blimey, where are you again?!?
Im sure you will feel comfy when you find it ruru
Hi George
thank you cait
hi caitlyn
yw ruru

same first 3 letters and if you like, I'll sing you a ***o - or not, lol
Hi flosey
hi caitlyn, I've been popping in and out this morning
not getting the singing part flosey
by myself
i didn't know that many words existed that started with a c
cr6 is a pl--cr5 is c + different spelling of what a lion does
should have put the or not in brackets
Well, have a list of to do''s today...will be coming back and forth to grid...just happy with nbt maybe today...lol. Happy Babbling all!
Bye Jillyjill
re - 3/4 of the bottom of your shoe
*poof*
I think I am dumb here..
no, just dumb clues
I need ol6, any clues please?
I think the word you need ruru is the start of the food and a word for sun
that should have read ru! first 3, then 3/4 of bottom of your shoe
that was it thank you caitlyn
Add a vowel to the ol5 flosey
ah, much better caitlyn
yw
tyty caitlyn, and where's my head
trying to rush, busy day
LOL the same place as mine I think
ty, you're sweet
And stop rushing around!
but a young lady with very serious medical problems, we've been trying to get her connected to appropriate governmental or whatever, to help her - waiting until 10: to call MLA
no family, no financial assistance, being evicted..........
se
Oh flosey the poor girl
Hi Norma
32 L's?
*passes out*
Passing ruru the smelling salts.......they are all words that we use on a regular basis
one is a man's name, spelled 2 ways - meet me in St. Lo the way the song spells it, plus the normal way
and plural
l's are done.
the c's were tougher
wtg ru
yes, by far
hi guys
working on the p now
Hi Dorens how are you?
gm dorens
i'm great thank cait, and you?
hi Dorens
Fine thanks
ruru, you were right about yesterday, it started easy but ended quite tough. Hi flosey
flosey its very very kind of you to help that girl, I hope it works out for her
yep.. they are harder lately
by the way, ru, now that we've met you really could just call me dorens and leave off the s! but then again, I don't much care what you call me.
lol
As long as its not rude LOL!
how's princess?
ruru rude? never!
would never be rude to doren
she is just lovely thanks (do you mean my dughter or granddaughter? they both are princesses)
I know ruru is always polite
no you..lol
ru - funny, punny, teasy, never rude
indeed, i was just about to say he was a perfect gentlemen.... but calling me a princess? MOI???
(It was only a saying) I didnt mean to offend
we knew that cait, no worries
I am giggling over here cait...
ruru, countless people have asked for a picture of you!!! sorry we didn't take one
glad you didn't actually
countless? are you kidding me?
why? you prefer mystery?
well, more than three, and i can't county much higher than that
lol
lol.. I am going to put up a picture of me at 6 years old ..that will crack them up
sorry for all my typos, am eating lunch at my desk and trying to make a dent in this so I won't go crazy late tonite
hah! ruru, I remember you put in a pic of a little boy in a cowboy hat or some such a while ago and i thought it was you
uh doren.. three isn't countless.
More than three.. i can't remember how many more than three...so,MAYbe it was a bit of an exaggeration, but you do have a clamoring, demanding public!
puleaaaaaase ....
i can actually think of four!
wants photo AFTER my dieting..
Actually I have lost 10 pounds since you were here
Make that 5 I want to see him also
okay... then i'll just have to come back out there in a couple of months
oh wow! did you start already? isn't it hard? i am so impressed (i have lost 3 since that week)
ruru thats great, I hav ebeen healthy eating for a year now
make that 6
but ruru is not drinking wine, and I can't imagine! (see... your clamoring public is making itself known)
yes I did.. I increase my exercise and am eating more moderately.. knocked off Carbs, sugar, and cheese, milk products and it is rolling off
i already severely limit carbs (in fact ordering the ravioli for me took great courage), virtually no sugar, but can't imagine life without cheese.
Dorens I have given up all that ruru has but NOT wine Ienjoy a drink in the evenings LOL
If you have the things you like "in moderation" on alternate months you aren't depriving yourself
only eat lean meat or fish (rarely eat beef), no ice cream, dessert is an extra special treat maybe once or twice a month)
it is wierd not drinking wine however
i can only imagine. for how long, one month?
getting sick of iced tea..lol
You are both doing well , well done
i drink a heck of a lot of water... good that i like it... a bit of lemon makes it special
one month.. then I can with moderate consumption
ruru you can have a glass of wine it wont add many calories
I don't drink a lot of water. I am a bit of a camel
my daughter and i have always prefered water to soda.
I like the flavoured water, not tap water though
well, i do prefer it cold!
anyone have the first pi 6/21?
hah! i only have three p's, so i doubt it
ok, i have one that we use on potatoes
pi + anagramed christmas
have that one.. it is something else
pi + hawaiian goose
pi + the goose
thanks you guys
just monkeyed it.. ditto josh and flosey
yw
and plural
anyone have the first no 6/21?
i have no + coin
i guess i really should list
that was it .. thank you doren

Hi Eva how are you?
Thats very exciting Eva its a while since we have ahd a Babble wedding
*oopies* (as my friends little girl would say) i may have packed my salad a little too tightly, and now theres no room to toss!
i have a huge bowl here in my office for my salads.. people sometimes laugh cause it's so big, but i use very little dressing (keep a bottle of olive oil and one of vinegar too) and tossing is of the utmost importance
need a clue for or6 please?
i kinda packed the rest of the salad greens we had into one container. sorta forgot about dressing it...
or + anagram be **** to others

Hello kids. Chipping away--140 to go.
Hi Scrabs. How's Bunnyland today?
morning babblers.
Is no one talking to me today?
fior the lst three lo's............ think of the old boxer joe
phone call
morning bichon
ty sammy and good day to all
sorry bichon, hubby was talking to me...... now he KNOWS better than to do thet when i'm doing this........ but he says now that he is 84, he will do as he damned pleases............. and i will LIKE it!! ( he is right)
lol! sammy
we finally told our kids and friends at our holiday cookout the small secrets of being married for 53 years
You've got me beat by a few. We're celebrating our 40th next year
great... keep on chuggin'
so what are the secrets sammy. 53 yrs is a real achievement!
small courtesies ... for example.... we were driving back from maine a few years ago........... i had the passenger window open..... he did not complain... but he turned the heat on and turned the vents towards himself.. he did not complain that the window was open and i did not complain of the heat. it worked!!
love it sammy. nice story, lovely example!
Done with phone call
hi scrabbler
the most important one is. we have NEVER< NEVER NEVER been in the bathroom at the same time ... my mutual unspoken consent, we have always respected the other's privacy.
Outstanding, sammysmom, for respecting one another + having boundaries.
I'd like to hear how you worked that one out
My husband *has* to be in the bathroom alone at certain times
Now that ther kids are gone we now have seperate bedrooms,, he likes the tv on at all hours.... i do not have one in my room........... i like to read at all hours, and my light does not bother him..... he sleeps with peanut butter and carckers on his chest ... i sleep with chuckie on mine.
well done - respect, really imortant
ive been married a little over a year.. we have separate rooms... it works amazing.
we have snoring issues
i read on cnn separate bedrooms are the secret to a healthy marriage
obviously a good sense of humor has helped sammysmom!!
he still opens the car door for me... kicking his oxygen hose out of the way to do it and i still fix him his favorite foods.. ( if he notices that they are no longer swimming in fat or salt, he does not mention it, and seems to enjoy the meals.)
thats interesting cosdem
howdy everyone;)
hi crossy
sense of humor????? lol... we had the first 2 kids 11 months apart... waited 10 years ( to grow our own babysitters,) then did it again!!
i like to watch tv late she doesnt lol
crossy, how many years have you two been married
17 years this october
What's your secret for a long and happy marriage?
our kids are 52/51 ..42/41. ya gotta love that
love that you 'grew your own babysitters' sammy!
secret?listen to each other,TALK to each other about anything and everything,never go to bed mad at each other,when one wants alone time respect it and at least one massage for him and her a week
crossy - like the massage bit!
releases tension,loosens the muscles,promotes circulation,among other things
we have been together 30 years and it seems we break all the rules but somehow we keep on keeping on!
you have to be able to talk with each other about anything,your fears,dreams,what angers you,even just silly stuff,you must communicate
We basically have a lot of interesting things we share. But we are also very different in our personalities.
differences are important I think Bichon - we are like chalk and cheese but maybe thats what keeps it interesting. Certainly never boring!
chalk and cheese,that is a new one
and most important of all......
lol crossy - must be an old english expression
and i will cap it....DO NOT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF AND PICK YOUR BATTLES
I am verbal in my feelings and hubby is more reserved. It's cultural, Jewish vs Prussian
yes crossy, agree there, sometimes its more important to presserve the peace than to be right!!
yes,you can win the battle but still lose the war
indeed
Hello
for example with my son,he wanted to colour his hair blue last time he was at the hair cutters,i was about to say no then thought to myself "mmm,,he is a good kid,not smoking or doing drugs" so i said to him "tell you what,you can do anything you want to your hair,but no tatoos or body sharanel till your on your on" and he agreed
Good evening all
howdy sadie
shrapnel*
howdy kaytee;)
hi sadie, kaytee
hiya crossy - you well?
hi daykat

I once told my daughter that if she ever wanted a tattoo, my advice was not to have one on any part of the body that was ever likely to sag!!
thats good newds crossy
hi all.. Great to hear Crossy!!!!
*news
hi m9

bye crossy. I thought I was gonna get a minute on here..
sleep well crossy
but Gage is wanting me...
so.. 14 words and see ya later.
ok, as I was trying to post ... Great news crossy, though I was not aware that was an issue. Son-in-law's little girl also recently declared clear for another 6 months - good feeling
I'm going back to bed - 3.05 am and all good children should be asleep. See you all later
*mutters at connection issues* .. now I missed the boat

gu5/16
i have see worse soodle
*poof*
ty une
i can't believe there's 56 c's.
WHAT???? I don't know 56 words beginning with C!
i have 19 of them so far..
21
who said you had to know them???
23 of them
nbt
wtg jmc
over 1/2 way now...
go m9 go
26 c's
go oro go!
nice oro!
phone brbr
ty fun game
back
nice people too oro when you get to know us
*puts on foil cap and gives one to oro*
lol sounds good
it helps concentration! ;-)
I hope like the royal blue feather
love blue!
it becomes you too!
soodle are you still here?
so any one tell you about lickety's list oro?
nope
if you think you are really really stuck and the clues aren't helping you can open lickety's list down under the tile stats in a new window and it will give you a list of the first two letters plus stats for all 224 words
wow thanks!!
most people save it for after they are 1/2 way or just have a few, but others use it earlier
it is really what makes you fe4/7 challenged and content that matters
want to wait it is fun to try
it is fun to try but to me the idea IS fun so being totally frustrated is not FUN
Hello, All, back to find the other 132 words :-)
true!!
hi zooz!
Hello, Jmc, how are you?

hey zooz!

hi all
Hello Oro :-)
Hello, M9!
had my coffee and lunch and just killing time waiting for the bell for the close of the day
hows about yourself zooz
not too bad, although i now have a blood clot (DVT) in the leg..lol
oh dear zooz!
*props zooz's leg up on a pillow*
oh no zooz!!
so what do you abou that/
i`ll be ok, i am even injecting myself with the clexane & takeing Warfarin tabs.
ouch!
yikes!
Hi everyone. Just starting. Busy day taking car for oil change, working on a particularly nasty Fugue of Bach's, writing an autobiography, you know, the usual.
Hello, Stid, a bit busy then..lol
what? how can you call a Bach fugue nasty?!?!?!
zoozoom, take it easy . We shall be consoling you as best we can.
*peeks over stidgmere's shoulder to see if mentioned in autobiography*
I had a nasty fugue once... nasal irrigation helps.
Yes, jmc, the fingering on this one is sooo unusual, it doesn't flow. I have a whole chapter about you, jmc. Babble, however, is a mere footnote.
fugue's just take practice to get all the voices right.
lol as is proper!
Hello, mixi :-)
hi mix
Hi zoozoom
Oh, yes mixi, it is like speaking a foreign language badly until the voices are clearly understood.
did everyone meet oro? oro is a newbie
will your autobiography be for sale Stid?
I was working on a brahm's hungarian dance today.
Hi oro, did't say hi yet. Just taking the plunge as I often do and not noticing that I splash people, sorry.
Oro, where have you gone?
sorry was trying to find words lol
good luck with that....lol
but that enthusiasm is what makes you so much fun gmere!
omg i just noticed there are 56 c words.. i cant simply monkey them all :(
I love Brahms, I call him Johnny. Once again, he demands all of ones attention.
we're talking piano.... right?
Welcome to Babble, hope you enjoy the grids :-)
Words, are there words? Focus!!!
lol
right.
the Brahms needs four hands, too.
hello, Cosdem :-)
Right, m9f9l, The Johnny Brahms we know had such an ear for melody and innovation. We do get very personal. And poor Beethoven, I call him Beethoven, went on and on because he never heard anyone calling him to dinner.
Hi all, just dropping in for a minute before going to do a hairwash.
hi zoo and everyone else!
Hello, Jilli :-)
Hi, jilli, just visiting and not getting many words. Enjoy the shampoo.
this grid needs more brains than I have.....bye
Hi gmere -- do you know Beethoven's (?) Farewell to the Piano? My mother used to play it -- now some people say it isn't Beethoven. It waqs supp[osed ly the last thing he wrote.
and welcome to oro!
No, I don't know the Farewell to the Piano. I shall have to look it up.
take care Gamer, you are not alone, don`t be disheartened
neither do i
Brains, do we need brains? I thought we needed a heart, or maybe courage.
Oro -- the icon theme today is a clue to a word from the grid. So mine is for pi7 and its plural.
lol
I like singing Brahms
I have 85 left to find later today. This is a hard grid imho.
i listed at nbt and 1/2way. I now have 39 of the c's.
When I sing, people usually ask me to stop. So, I just play the piano.
there are a LOT of co's.
if I get up your way... you can play and I'll sing!LOL
gmere, a local Beethoven expert didn't know it either but I have a copy of it in my beginner's book.
Next time I'm up your way, I shall love to see it.
Yes, m9, next time, just let me know. I do accompany stidmama when she wants to sing.
stidm and I can do a duet then!LOL
here's the Farewell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nboGkVF zrlI&feature=related
i don`t think i have ever seen Stidmatt on babble Stid?
We shall have a good time. Thank you jili, I shall bring up the utube.
there was a piano piece I loved when I was young... and then I let someone borrow the book when I was in college..and didn't get it back. I couldn't find the song forever, because I didnt' remember who the composer was, and the title is just the style of song.
and then one day I went to a woman's house to buy some pj's for gage off craig's list.
and I looked over and there was a book on her piano... that looked a lot like the book from when I was young.. I got all excited "can I look at that piano book?!?!??!!?" she thought I was kind of odd I think.LOL
Stidmatt helps me with the grid when he is here. I don't know that he does it "cold."
but it was the same book. and I wrote down all the publishing info... and I found a copy online at ebay or abebooks. And now I have it again.
And, was it the book?
I have to go now -- somebody please give oro a nudge about my icon clue...?
ahh thanks Stid ;-)
take care Jilli :-)
halo, kids! xx
gmere -- ages and ages ago stidmatt did appear here.
hi george!
I'm sorta here, sorta not!
Oh, what a great ending. That almost happened to me with the book about the little bear who didn't get to go to Grandmother' house because he forgot the tasks he was supposed to do.
halo and bye bye george (hairwash pending)...
Hello, George..if you are here..lol
Hi George, goodbye for now jilli.

I don't think my icon has anything to do with clues, today I'm just glad to get one small enough that it doesn't mess up the chog.
Trust you george..lol

Bye Jilly :-)
oy! when will i stop getting phone calls from the school over my sons behavior. i thought we were done with that!
Oh zooz...keep the leg up and feel better soon!!
Many thanks {{Jilly}}
Well, if it's any consolation...I don't get anymore call on my son...now that he's 27 and in college!! lol...hang in there..I remember only too well.
LOL, GE. My eldest is 20 (see profile pic) and I am still getting irate phone calls!
Now really must *poof*
one reason I quit sending the kids to school!!
wow that was a big fire in san francisco
but if i kept him home m, i'd be the one making calls to others complaining about him
he is really a great kid, very personable... too much so sometimes!
Fire wasn't that far from the kids. They live in San Mateo
funny GE.
that's my 19 yo. very charming.. but school was not a good fit. and he was just getting to be a very angry little boy
would never know it now.
just se4 it on the news channel here..a lot of devastation of houses, glad the your children were ok Bichon.
You watching SkyNews, Zooz?
it's just frustrating. two and a half weeks in4 the school year and he's already on the teachers bad side
How old is he Good?
no bbcnews 24 Soodle
back
15. old enough to know better but those teenage brains just work differently
That's the problem in areas with natural gas. We don't have gas in our area
that may be the best side to be on good
wb Jmc
Ah! we can't get that here Zooz. Just tuned to Sky, and its adverts...
& more adverts a little news then adverts, i know what you mean Soodle :-(
Oh, Good Enough. I am ancient, (50 last week) but I can still remember 15. It is such a tricky age. You are neither one thing or the other, you want to make your mark, but you can't....I wouldn't be 15 again for all the tea in China!
life starts at 50 Soodle :-)
no no it started at 40
but 50 aint bad
Life starts whenever you start living.
Is that New Agey or what?
hi kap
LOl, true Kap :-)
My philosophy is that 50 is the new 40.....
Hi. Happy New Year.
brb got go check to see if there is money in the mail
thats right Soodle, so enjoy!
me neither soodle! thanks for listening and reminding me it's not the end of the world
money in the mail?!
You're young Soodle.
The birthday bash the kids threw for me nearly killed me, though. The soul was willing, but the body let me down. Might have had something to do with the tequila, Jaegar and vodka mix.....
I turned 50 last century.
LOL, Mixi..bless
LOL mixi!
oh Soodle! I think I fe4 sick!
Well, now my Babble friends may understand my absence through the week. It took me the whole week to recover.
eh? oh yeah, from your birthday? ha!
But, I had a blast while I was inflicting untold damage on my liver!!!
I turn 50 next summer
Oh George, I behaved in a very un-old-ladylike fashion.....
Median age of babblers?
back
The river that flows through the town I live in is called the Boyne. I sampled the local cocktail variation of Sex on the Beach - called a Bonk by the Boyne.....
I've had sex on the beach........
haven't we all?
Blooming sand gets everywhere......
In one way or another.
*squirms in memory*
ohhh I was having sex on the beach for the last two weeks lol
Sign of a very happy youth...squirming at the memories!!! Y
Hello, Katie :-)
Hello Katie, and I think you should elaborate on your last statement....
Can't you focus on the grid?
I guess not.
Hi everyone, obviously I was talking about the cocktail lol
it was a mixed youth -- some happy some terrible
Obviously?
Oh, sorry, Kap, I got a bit carried away there...
too bad katie!
This is true for all youth.
Yeah, really.
Kap, I have often wondered.. What is a Magne?
yeah, I was wondering the same thing!
I explained this when I joined. It was a typo...
What was it supposed to be?
Magnet?
Meant to be Mr. K*A*P*L*A*N the magnificent, named for a character in some new Yorker short stories by Leo Rosten about an immigrant to the US who mangled the language.
put that in your bio, Kaplan! then folk would stop asking you, lol!
Kaplan, that's perfect. this is a typo paradise!
yeah, sure is -- and I'm the queen of typos!
:)
George, you have too much common sense.
Cool! Great story!
yeah, well.............
despite having weird things on my head?
so what have i missed whilst I have been away?
have we heard from Nancy?
There were all these characters in Night School English classes driving their teacher Mr Parkhill out of his mind. Mr kaplan was the most outrageous
George - Lionel Richies song Dancing on the Ceiling is ear-worming me at the moment....
What is on your head, George?
yeah, wonder why, Soodle? ha!
So Katie, where did all this debauchery take place..?
WHilst? We don't say that word in the US- why is that?
look at it! then you decide, lol! had someone in here earlier ask me if it was my real hair, imagine? naturally I said 'yeah, course it is!'
we were in Stalis in Crete it was great
There are probably rules about when to use while and when to use whilst, and it would get crazy like who and whom, or lie and lay...
Love it George.
mine you it's no weirder than my own hair has looked at times, I suppose! when I used to have it.......
or mind, rather!
Nancy Pelosi is not a word...yet.
Rather.
I have too many words left on this grid...81.
anyone know a good site for designing a card? Snapfish is so limited in choices..
Katie, Greece is my favourite country in the world. The people, the weather, the food...... such a fantastic country. I am guessing you had a great time?
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

bichon, yours is the first icon I've se 4/4 today that is an icon clue. Do you know what my clue is today?
Yes, I do Minver
The p's are history
Perfecto bichon!

re 6/18, the first one? please
Hello again -- 59 to go and it's painful!
Min -- you didn't see my icon clue before?
jilli, I don't know what your icon means vis a vis this grid, sorry
an old card game...fun fun:)
oh, sorry
bicon, did you click on the icon to see which letters it represnts?
why be sorry bich
yes, it's clear now
sorry..thought it was something else.
re 6/18, 1st one? please
re+easter time
ty Champ
I don't have much, but happy to share what I do!
12 left
82. Kinda slogging along
It's that kind of grid
I am not cl5/12 to finishing the grid.I have 50 words le4/7.But I'm not in 4/4 completing the grid because it will take too lo 4/6. I have never se 4/4 fireworks with grids with 200 + words.I'm going to do my story of clues. I'm an ESL teacher.I love playing the ro 4/4 of an educator. Knowing that I'm educating children makes me fe4/7 really good. Was in5/10duced to my colleagues many years ago&now they're my cr 7/32. My colleagues and students are the on4/4 who make me want to goto work. I also like being able to work from se 4/6 to June and being off in July and August. I teach K - 7th grade. I do all kinds of things with my students.I am a co7/32 and co5/12 with my younger students. I sing a lot of so 5/14 with them. I teach a lot of co4/5 subjects with older students.Sometimes the kids drive me lo4/5 when they make too much no 5/10, but for the most part they are good. I am glad I teach in an elementary school. I don't think I could teach te 4/4agers. I think te 5/10 can be very hard to teach. They talk back in a very nasty to4/4. Now I'm going to go watch te 4/4vision in bed which is co 6/21 than this hard chair I am sitting on. Goodnight!
As always, great job Minveryork!!!
large flashes of light in the sky
Was that a clue, or am I grasping? ;)
Thanks Champfiut
Min, I don't have the co 7/32 or co 5/12, and am not getting them from the story. Clue?
co 5/12: blue is my favorite co*** and co 7/32 is one who co 5/12 Champfit.

pb, jmc
*takes bourbon to pb*
I have a new ESL partner this year and he's 29 and a brand new teacher.He is asking all of the questions I asked when I was a brand new teacher. It seems like I've been teaching forever!Remember being a newbie
Hi, Nef
thanks though jmc
WOW nef that's a long day
Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!
224 word grid is not so nice after a 14 hour day Nef.
yw champ
Jmc, crossy was in there earlier so the bacon is probably all gone.
I'm tired, and won't be finishing the grid tonight. And I'm thankful to be home.
its good yo can pass it on min
my aunt taught 54 years
Nef, wish I had that excuse!
my mother was a piker at 43 years
Nefs in the grid
But I did start the grid anyway! :-) (I'm such an optimist!)
Nef, Just do the c's. There are enough of them to be a whole grid.
i saw he claimed to be the good crossy but i know better
My daughter has my world history teacher this year...but I think she's at about 40 years...
I did not start the grid...I'm going to curl up with a book for a while, then check back in...
nef you a champion
what's the book this time Jellen?
I remember my kids asking me about Julius Ceaser once. They said I must have known them.
wtg jell
Goodbye Jellen! I will see you later on in the chat log!
what are you reading
err him. I knew my kids.
lol not really wht
i do not believe that story
Book 14 of the Stephanie Plum series...
the Aunt that raised me taught and was Co. Sup't. of schools for I don't know how many years (50+). She taught 3 generatrions of families and 4 generations of one family that had kids at early ages.
my aunt started teaching at 17
Caesar and I were tight! Lots of vino
Well it is true. That is what they said. I tell them that it was great for me growing up. I never had to take a bath because I am older than dirt.
remind me why i should care about the lord of the rings?
oh lord wht that is a hoot
Because it is a cultural icon?
Wow,started at 17?!Things were different back then
i am only old enough to know sam houston
Didn't you ever see the buttons in the 60's Frodo Lives?
give it up jmc! pretty pictures, the rest is bad and long
her first teaching job was right after she graduated HS (it was WWI and there was a shortage)
her first job was in a one room school in a louisiana parish
they had Teachers' Normal School back then. The young women who graduated from high school went right on to Normal School and were teaching within 9 months
yeah wht that is right I always wondered about them i assume it meant he died
she taught before she went to college
she would go to school inthe summers
she got a bachelors in geography
jmc. she probably went to Normal school too
her second job she got in Houston because the church needed an organist and the school superintendent was a deacon
no she went to TSU
houston! home!
When my grandfather lived in Maine, he asked a teacher to marry him. She turned him down because she didn't want to give up teaching and in those days, teachers couldn't keep their jobs after they married.
i went to milby and so did my mother
my aunt never married
Tomball High School...and so far 2 of my kids...
I remember back in the '50's when the teachers decided that they had to have college degrees to teach. My Aunt would drive 100 miles after working all day and go to classes; she ended up with a Masters' degree in remedial English/ Education
He married my grandmother. She died and when he retired, he went back to Maine and met the first woman again. She accepted his second proposal.
my mother got her masters in the early 60s
cool story wht
That is a GREAT story wht! That is so cool!
you are full of them tonight
what a great story wht!
Hi Bugsaw! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
It is interesting, wht. How did the family accept the teacher?
hi bugsaw
Haven't found a word in ages...shutting it down tonight. C U all tomorrow! Have a great evening!
HI Min and jmc and everyone else. just snuck in a few minutes ago.
bye champ
bye champ! thanks for the beer!
bye champ
Night Champ
frodo is not looking good
wht i finally finished theP's
10 more and i am 1/2 way
wtg GE.
oh i just got the one that really is fishy!
which one was that? There were a couple of those for me.
It took me a long time to see my brother's daughters in the grid.
damn then i owe a pb for that too!
well done jmc. I am still under 100
Perfecto Good Enough!
Nef, missed your question. Well, since my grandmother died when my mother was 10, I never new her. I only knew the teacher and I had no problem.
My mother didn't seem to have any problems either.
uh oh something wicked this way comes
Where are you in the movie, jmc
the crow things flew over the 9 companions
is that not clear?
they are on the way to mt doom
Those are the Nazgul. They are pretty creepy beings.
look like crows to me
I have heard that term used to refer to the lawyers for the company I work for.
!#@$*&()
really nobody loves us until they need us
then we are effing saints
is feather still here?
Don't take it personally, jmc. It was in the context of a particularly nasty lawsuit brought by a certain company that claimed that we had infringed on their copyrights.
i haven't seen feather since i got here
then they should have been rangers
They probably thought that we would settle rather than go to trial. Instead, we fought back because we do enough consulting work that we didn't want people to think we would steal their ideas. The whole thing has been dragging on for 7 years and the company that brought the suit has now been in Chapter 11 for years.
May I please have a clue for co8-45 the 3rd? Thanks
It is like the top part of a rocket but the words are reversed
ice cream co** + plain as the **** on your face
weird
Thanks much, wht and lbdawger.
hi folks
hi welki!
Hi welki
anyone need a clue or two? don't know how i did it, but i managed to tackle this grunt of a grid
whooo hooooo welki!!
te5,10 please
whoo hoo welki
there are a bunch of those, oro
oh oro you are listing!
te + gird your l***s
wtg welki. As the I Ching is so fond of saying "Perserverance Furthers"
oh dont know lingo yet
stuck at 62
which one (say by number or by the word you have before or after)
Hello welki! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
te + the tenderl*** is so yummy
people aged 13 - 19, te**vision (plural), te+ hoi pol***, te + win or ***e
that should do it :)
There are the adolescents.
And Welki covered the rest
uh oh things are bad underground
ty trying to get the clues have all but one
ty welki
Don't worry, jmc, things get worse.
and wht
lol oh good
what movie are you watching, jmc?
gandalf just said "lets hope that our presence may go unnoticed" i am guessing that is not happening
May I please have a clue for so5-12? Thanks
first lord of the rings for the first time
'til tomorrow, folks ... gonna put these tired doggies up and veg for a while
i read it in . . . could it be 1964?
so + not your aunt but your un***
night night, welki
Thanks much Ibdawger.
ok so I was using the clues and it says te 5,10 and I was trying to add a word with 5 letters and 10 points from the numbers under the letters seems like that is wrong
Sweet dreams, welki.
good movie, gets a bit loooong after a while tho.
didn't like it
no that is right oro
bye welki
so 5/12 is is so plus not aunt but un*** gapeach1066.
hi all
hi m!
but the thing is that 4 letter words = 1x points and 5 letter words is 2xpoints and 6 letter words in 3x points
not quite right oro, ... 5 letter words are worth the total x 2
took me MONTHS to figure that out
hi m9
hi GE hi m9
so you want a 5 letter word that adds up to 5, I think
jm thanks wow I really thought I couldn't add lol
so each letter is a 1
Hello m9f9l! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
what happened to the letterblox game lbd? done already?
no like i said it took me forever to figure that out
ty bugs too
haven't seen feather to set up a game, GE
After a while you get to the point where you see xx6,18 and you know that all the letters are one point tiles without really thinking about it.
two more words to 1/2 way
She was around earlier.
go jmc!
yeah, i told i couldn't play until 9 babbletime.
do you have the cr6,21 which refers to cajuns, jmc
not the same!!
hi unea!
cajuns migrated to Louisiana from Acadia

hi stid!
hey m
almost up to 100
good going~!!!!
102 now... but tired. won't finish today for sure, even if I decide to not play tomorrow...
yeah..I"m tired too. are you getting enough rest?
no, I am not getting enough rest. Now getting up at 4:45 every morning because the traffic can be really really awful, and I can't afford to be late.
at the same time, I can't really get to sleep until I eat supper, and at least a couple times a week I don't get home until after 6:30... *sigh* and still have lessons to plan and papers to write. So, no. Not enough sleep. At all.
5 words to halfway.
oh yikes!
how are you and your family doing, m?
the horn of gondor
anywhere to take a cat nap during the day???
go go GO stid!!
poor gondor
no m, only a half hour for lunch, and I really DO need to get food by then. I get so HUNGRY teaching!
HALFWAY!!!!
why poor gondor???
poor borimor.
a 10 minute nap can really help stiddie
so my daily babble goal is met
Stid - I hope you pre-cook and pack yourself some kind of pasta/fish meal for lunch.
uh oh not looking good for pippin and sam and merry
yay stid!
Hi all. EEK! My attempt at taking my own photo after my daughter re-coloured my hair today looks scary!
but it isn't purple or anything
isn't Sam already gone?
LOL>.. talk about deer in the headlights look!
but you look cute.
Incidentally, what my daughter did to my hair might help US players, if they spell it their way, with co5, 7 and 8.
sam just got taken
m9 - Yes! Why did I look so startled? I knew I was taking my own photograph. LOL
ty jac
Cute? Aw, thanks.x
waiting for the flash?
LOL JAC~ but it's a nice hair color, at least.
son of gondor lives!
okay, I am beat. want to look at a couple of things before I go to sleep, so will log off babble. ((((Hugs and choclits for all)))) have a lovely weekend, everyone!
*poof*
I've tried the 'not looking up at the camera' thing and I just look glum or grumpy. Oh dear!
Tim says "son of gondor will not!"
bye stiddie
well i figure that "lives" means "dies"
he's telling me the whole thing as I read your updates..
oh look sam is still free
go sam go!
oops same can't swim
Stidd - sleep well and thanks for the compliment about the hair colour. I can no longer afford £70+ interweaved blonde tints and, to be honest, I fe4better being a brunette again; fe4 more like my own self again.
it looks good jac inspite of the deer inthe headlights look
i like sam
Thanks, jmc.:-))
Anyone need any clues?
yes 48 of them lol
One at a time, oro.
go oro go
oro is a newbie doing well jac
Speaking of which, on4 is a plural number.
90 to go oro is doing better than I!
jmc - Glad to hear we have fresh victims to lure into the Babble web. *sound of evil laughter*.
okay that movie is done
lol
what stamina jmc
56 to go here
In 15 mins, I probably have to wake my Beloved up. he has a Saturday work day, 5am start, after 4 whiskey & cokes and a coffee and sitting up on the pc amusing himself with music videos on Youtube until 12.30.
What are my chances of being seen as 'a saint'?
i have been doing my best to lure oro to oro's doom *bwaaa hahahahahaha8
poor oro thought i was nice *shifty eyes*
jmc - you obviously haven't been evil enough, so far.
wow... livin' large jac, livin' large..
hmm i am thinking about a snowball in hell jac
lol so tired but want to finish guess I am addicted already
oro - at leadt you are still sober or awake enough not to have typed 'addicated' rather than addicted.;-)
Or leadt instead of 'least'. LOL
resistance is futile oro
yeah.. I was pretty much addicted first time i played oro..
at least I can spell something just not on the grid
once...
i am working on drunk
oops. it only takes once.. that's why the pushers hand out babble plays as freebies...
BWAAA HAHAHAHAHAHA
I am wondering if I will still have a relationship after I go up there, dig beloved in the rib and kiss him a bit and tell him he's got to get up for work.
ribS* ( he does have more than one)/
probably -- he has put up with your cold toes before
more likely than if you went and threw cold water on him..
Yea - the cold feet might do it. Wish me luck!
go jac go!
crossing fingers..
7 mins to go yet... like me, he can't stand being woken up minutes before he has to be.
Time enough for me to give a couple more clues if anyone asks.
my boy always bitches because i tend to wake him up 2 minutes before his alarm
en5,10 please
tr?
jmc - that's cruelty and you should be penalised for it.
oro - the en5 on a course at college maybe?
To sign up for something.
*hangs head in shame* but he doesn't tell me what he had set the alarm for
I'd go for 5 mins after you think, or know, jmc.
i try jac i try
tr5/10 = tr + first number.
wow too tired to even get clues
ty jac
Oro - where are you from?
ohio usa
jmc - y/w
ugh..look at all the pi words...
i had to deal with competative parents who en5led their kids in pre-k with the idea it would lead them to Harvard
I know some sons about Ohio but am not going to make the mistake of going on YouTube to find them, therefore listening to more and staying up for another 3 or 4 hours.
sonGs, not sons.
lol
pi words are easy, once you know how.
*waiting for jac to explain*
pi8 and plural 9 arr the fruits a a type of fir tree.
yes. . .
