*start packing dart*
no gray here .... had it done last week LOL
ROFL DEE
coming out to see you and keep you from playing too lol
my skunk look was dealt with last week also
lol, no gray here! they're all white
mine's turning white
pav.. did you get that i?? think lizard.
think mine are too flo, but have yet to take the step to go natural
have no clue what my real color is at this point... you have pretty white hair flosey... mine was hideous when it first started showing up
was blond as a kid...trying to go back to that now
(sorry... distracted watching design star on hulu)
ditto that
flosey's hair is gorgeous
mine turned very young, coloured it for a while but grew so fast couldn't keep up with it
oh, jilli, thankyou
I used to have a mustache until it grew in have white and half brown.. I looked like a bad picasso painting
what color were you as a child flosey?
lol ru
was always dark but now I suspect im blond....white is blond??
thanks m9...NBT 26 for 25
auburn, I guess
ooh pretty flosey
what were you jili?
I think I remember flosey's wedding picture.. she is /was gorgeous
I was just dark mouse-brown :(
is yours salt and pepper now jili...
ty ru
fairer before I was 5 and got shaved for mastoid operations
was a very happy day
I'm just grey now.
bet that hurt and was traumatic
my mom had same surgeries...
it is very becoming on you jilli
oh jilli, that must have been awful
ae 7
thanks, ruru
the grey hair i mean
pretty in her facebook pics
I am amazed at how warm and friendlyu everyone looks at these get togethers
I want to go to a get together
you would prefer grumpy??? lol
we had a lovely time in Philadelphia on Saturday. :) Nrkii even brought me pears from her tree
I had to miss it :(
think ruru should drive to the next DC area get together
I have silver in my very dark brown hair. sometimes i think about dying it just for fun.. but all my kids scream "NO!!! Mom..we love your silver hairs!! it's like stars in the midnight sky!"
it's been dry enough here all non-irrigated crops are failing
I think Dart needs to get a life..lol
oh what lovely children you have m9
ha! at least you've still got hair, just be glad of that!
m9 that is very funny
Oh, how lovely, m9!
we have three nice airports here :)
my husband doesn't though.. and HeWho is already losing it at 19
how wonderful, m9
ruru should def. drive though
dc, is there really anything nice about an airport?
still haven't gone for my banana break -- brb...
DCA's new terminals are quite beautiful, with Jeffersonian arches and domes
hubby made me a cup of tea a while ago, need another, brb
oh yeah? I didn't start thinning and receding until around 30 and it was quite slow and gradual, stil have some but not enough to worry about, so shave it all off!
I hate airports
IAD is a modernist masterpiece
we have the new whole body scanners at SFO now
and BWI has the best behind-security area of any airport i've been to, though it's the most generic of the three
yes, SFO is the test site for them
both my guys keep it very short. HeWho buzzes it himself
lol m9
my beard is almost fully white. I've white temples, and the rest on my head is salting rapidly. I'll be caught up with my mom before long.
our airport (Victoria) is quite small - although it was recently enlarged
tom buzzes his own
yeah, I shave my own head
that is almost how my hubby is dc.. but beard not fully white yet
m9, does that mean you have two husbands, when you refer to both guys
people see me and think i'm 10 years older due to the white beard.
whenever i cut Tim's hair, I think of the one of his server's once who was OUTRAGED that I cut his hair when I'm not licensed.. she said "would you fly in a plane if the pilot didn't have a license??" ROFL! still cracks me up
m9 lives in Utah?
how strange, m9
ha sandy! I may be LDS but I don't have two husbands!!!LOL.. HeWho is my 19 yo son (which is probalby telling you more info than he wants out there in the universe)
as 8/40 and as 9,54 and as 8/45
rather silly comparison, m9!
well... some people have to feel important.. and she was studying for her license...
I often trim hubby's hair
m9 does NOT live in Utah!!LOL
is that a Fisher Price ferris wheel, m9?
what do those relate to dee
well two husbands.. you vixen!!!
one who, plural, plural, ru
yes seain.. we have one but not in good shape! When the theme was vintage toys, I was happy to find that pic online
yes ru, methinks she is a saucy lass
enough!!! already!
cool, never seen one, m9 :)
as 8/40 and as 9/54 related to each other... thinking of how to clue...hmmmm
the music box in ours still works though!
<--m9 can dish it out .. but she can't take it
a + Indiana is a st minus last vowel + 1st person pronoun + abbreviation for direction opp of southwest...
lol
my elder nephew is learning the joys of the Atari 2600, speaking of old things that still work
maybe if what you offered were appetizing ruru....
I meant kidding..
ty volley
yqw...
that's what I referred to!LOL
other as 8/45 has scads of consonants at the beginning
just an a+s7
ty for the other Dee :) the consonants made it easy
as + 3 letter common connecting word + 1st person pronoun + 1st vowel
ruru... speaking of dishing.. my dd made the BEST dinner last night!
wtg dc!
ty, dart for the S
duh ty dart
whadyaeat?
her fiance's dad caught some tuna, and they dropped some by
dc seain, we still have our Atari 2600 and the g/kids love.
so she went on epicurious (her fave site)
et 7/32
Christ! what's a first person pronoun? me? I? him? her?
first person subjective pronoun, pav
so, Jaden is not alone with that then, diz :) good to know
me, myself, and ....
oh bother! brain is still turned off...don't go back to work until Tuesday...
m9?
no he is not, de seain, but other kids have no idea what they are talking about...lol
i shocked my nephew by completing a level of frogger
sorry!.. anyway, they were seared and a beautiful yellow with tumeric and i don't know what other spices..
and by going online and buying parts for it LOL
they love frogger, it the one they play the most
probably cumin and cardomom
sounds great ...
ha 7,32
I love cooking tuna except for the mercury
they went on top of fresh cukes from her garden that were soaked in a vinegar/brown sugar sauce.. and then there was this amAZing fresh avacodo/ roasted red pepper/ orange salsa
salsa sounds amazing
have never seen that combination, sounds good
sounds yummy
is dd.. dear daughter?
yes. I found it on epicurious.. she didn't do it exactly as recipe calls it (as usual!LOL)

Good day/night and happy babbling yall! {poof}
bye seain
night dc
ra 7/32
night dc!
sa 8/40
(and I thought I was a night-owl!)
lol
sounds like my wed nights...here till 1:30 am and at work at 6:30 am
I need my 8 hours
I don't remember when I had 8 hours sleep
sometimes our shifts are exactly 8 hours apart....doesn't count the time to drive home..unwind...shower the next day and drive back
7 is good, usually more like 6
I stay up with my nightowls and get up with my hubby...
that sounds rough dart
I feel blessed if I can get 4 or 5 ...
oh Dee, not enough!
my body does not have a circadian rhythm anymore...lost that in 1981
so yeah..about 5 hours.
do you get a chance to catch up at all?
somebody needs lessons in organising shifts reasonably
you are so right... just can't stay comfortable long enough to sleep, so in constant state of tiredness....
Dee, do you get a chance to nap through the day?
fireworks
too stiff when I get out of bed if I lay much longer than that
wtg dart
wtg dart...
WTG dart~!!!
that I do understand, Dee, I'm usually stiff/achy in the morning
YAY dart!
Morning stiffness here too -- sign of RA.
takes me hours to get moving... sometimes I stay up all Sat night, so I can make it to church, then come home and sleep... thankful we have no kids at home
how I first got diagnosed, jili... severe stiffness in A.M. of wrists... I think maybe osteoarthritis has morning stiffness, too...
have pills to take if it's very bad
what do you take flosey?
at first he gave me tylenol 3 but I couldn't take them through the day, made me woosey, then gave me tramacet which I can handle, just wouldn't drive
have never tried tramacet... I think tylenol 3 has codeine, so I couldn't take that... aleve has been most helpful... but seems to put digestive system "to sleep"...
yes, the codeine made me woosy
I bet
is tramacet related to tramadol?
not supposed to take aleve if on methotrexate, which I am, but luckily it works fine.
the meds they gave me for migraine had codeine but then I'd be right in bed
they are letting me couple methotrexate with aleve ... at least for the time being
how long have you had RA jili?
fireworks
a mild case since 1994 -- was on plaquenil but had to quite -- affecting eyes.
wtg volley
wtg dee
YAY dee!!!
*quit
ty dart... wow... this one took me forever...
wow, wtg Dee
ditto that jili...
ty flosey
night all...gonna head to bed
I'm not even halfway, dee!
night dart!
do you have fibro, too, jili?
night dart!!
dee -- ditto 1994 or plaquenil?
bye jilli volley flos poooof
night dart
no, dee -- I'm pretty well pain free except in the mornings for a while -- lucky me.
I was diagnosed in 1996, but probably had it earlier and was just being treated for symptoms (inflammation)... started out on daily doses of prednisone and plaquenil, weekly methotrexate... then quit plaquenil... then quit daily steroids and only use for acute inflammation a couple of times a year
had a bad summer, so may be on the cusp of having to change meds... trying not to change until I absolutely have to
I quit the steroids in 2000 -- was having surgery so they said "no more" and it was ok.
well, I need to check email and try to get some rest... have to pack Mon and Tues.... that is sooooo fortunate!
noner
I hope the fall will be better for you, dee.
poofing with big hugs!!
ty so very much jili
night dee !
have a great day / eve all!! *poof*
morning all
g'night Dee
morning sprite
hi sprite
hi sprite!
I didn't change my icon yet, sprite, because they haven't played the final -- rained out.
hi all :) Do we have another US Open theme today?
lol I see!
Hapy 14th anniversay, sprite!
*Happy
happy anniversary sprite
thank you jilli :) I just thought this morning that if I had to choose between my love with all the troubles of the last 14 years, and a loveless marriage with all the health and prosperity of the world, I wouldn't have to think a second.
thank you sandy :)
good thinking, sprite
life can be so easy when you get back to the basics, can't it. How've you all been?
aaaaw sprite, that brings a tear to my eye
*hugs sandy*
good morning
hi ruby
morning rubyfoo
hi again, just had a brief power failure!
hi flosey, wb. Lovely lovely rose.
really, flo? All ok here, so far.
But I'm having a brain failure -- falling alseep, so I'll be off -- goodnight/day all!
sandy, you're back!!! how was your NZ holiday?
didn't last long enough to have been an accident, no high winds, no idea
night jilli, sweet dreams
yay..hit the halfway mark! nightmiss jilli...off to bed I am as well.
well, Jilli, I've been having that problem all night
still have houseguest but will have time for this big one after lunch, I hope
night PAV, hope your birthday was good!
happy belated b-day, PAV
goodnight Jilli and Pav
thanks sprite...a peaceful week for sure
I'm not even halfway -- 157/170.......and *poof*
hi ruby, it wasn't a nz holiday but a holiday in our sw wine region , and it was gorgeous, we even stayed an extra day
tks ruby!
peace is good... as long as it wasn't lonely. *hugs* to you.
I need 2 more to make 100 !!
maybe they'll come more easily in the morning
but must at least get 100
you do have the volcano and the A-variety of the cry veggie(s), flosey?
tytyty sprite, I will now go to sleep happy, 100 down and too many to go, but tomorrow will attack the grid with a vengeance!
sleep well, flosey, and I hope to see you tomorrow.
didnt have the volcano! thanks sprite
goodnight everyone
nite flo
lol yvw both... I usually miss those myself
phone, back
wb rubyfoo
so glad to see you again, sandy. But also glad you had a good holiday.
that is wonderful! Did you buy a lot of wine for your "cellar" and are you well-rested?
uh oh, doorbell. Back later {{sprite and sandy}}
gn to flosey's back
lol, rubyfoo, busy life!
Morning/evening all Just wanted to share my icon (you may need to refresh) - sunrise this morning.
we got some wine of course, and some lovely chutneys and cheeses and went on a 5 hour walk through the forrests and read some books
hello FM
oh FM, that is amazing. Such a lovely way to start the day. And hi :)
5 hours of walking! they'd have to carry me back.....
sounds like the perfect holiday to me, sandy
that sounds like a perfect holiday. Did Nicky take care of the horses and other animals?
Hello spritey sprite and ruby and welcome back sandy, sounds like you had a great time.
mitch what a gorgeous photo, well done with that- were you up that early putting on makeup for the cleaner?
yes ruby, she was fine - she liked the break - it is gorgeous down there - when any of you babblers come to perth I will take you down there
thanks and ha ha sandy, yes I thought if I started now with the make up I would be ready in time for Tuesday next week :)
if I can ever get out from under this mess, I'll be there! it may take years, but I'm determined!
one day I will, sandy
FM, but you should have started by taking of last year's!
we can't see sunrises here because the mountains are to the east. our exposures are south and west and a little north
make up? hah
LOL!
*guides rubyfoo to the sin bin*
the walk was funny, I went with my sister and she had it mapped out (lol) we had to climb steep hills and got lost in the forrest! that is why it went for so long- finally found a road and knocked on a farmhouse door and got her boyfriend to pick us up LOL
oh lovely, sandy, a real adventure :D
getting lost in the woods with your sister sounds like a delight. The last time that happened to me, I was about 4 and she was 10!
yay, over halfway
we found a little cabin that someone (probably a drug grower) had build in the middle of the forrest- that was quite exciting
wtg sprite. I will be back in a bit.
saw lots of kangaroos
how close to them did you get?
bfn FM
if you are quiet you can get quite close (about half a paddock away) they have very good ears,- there is a place just out of perth where you can pat them they are tame there but still free
are they soft or bristly?
sandy to the sin bin too... can I come along please?
what me? surely not!!
yep you too. But with you and rubyfoo there, I want in too!!
uh oh, now I really must poof!
kangas are very soft - we used to have joeys as pets when we were young - we kept them in a pillowslip on the end of our beds and fed them with bottles - they used to follow us around during the day
bye rubyfoo, have a nice day
dangerous to keep as adults tho
I know they are a pest in some regions, sandy, but to us from places where they only live in zoos, they are so incredibly cute!
they are a huge pest, but I think they are amazing animals
you should see them jump over fences they barely change their stride
I recently watched a series about a team that helps people get over trauma. This boy had been attacked by a kangaroo, had been badly hurt and was really scared. With the team he faced them again and even got really close to some. He really felt better afterwards.
I think they are the world's best solution to birth and baby care. I'd sign up for one of those whatdyucallems right away.
they can be very dangerous, they go back on their tails and rip with their hind feet
yes we saw footage of that too. They are amazingly fast and strong. Their front feet as well, though the hind legs are worse. It was truly scary.
do you mean you want a pouch Sprite?
yes! A pouch. And when baby is due, he or she crawls into the pouch. Drinks there and grows until ready for more adventure. Isn't that something!
beats the hell out of labour
when we were kids, our uncles had kangaroo dogs- fantastic dogs which would chase and kill a roo, then come back to the car and lead us to the kill - they used to feed their dogs with them
oooookay.... forgive me for going eeeewwwww
sounds awful but on a station it was fresh meat for the dogs
I know, I know, it is necessary where you live. But still...
and once again sandy goes to the PB..., lol
LOL cant be me!!!
oooh I didnt have that one
better look good, because it is a big word leading to even bigger on4!
*giggles*
got them all i think
phantom: astute
which I haven't been with my chat
did you get hubby's sleep results?
lol nor me. All of them? The G too?
no, we will get those on the 29th.
not the g but now I have it thanks
yay :)
have to go will see you later
bye sandy, *hugs*
Sandy has probably gone off to training for tomorrow.
lol! hi lyn, wb
Hello Sprite
nice size grid, maybe a little easy though I am thinking
yes it is not a hard one. Some interesting words and letter combinations though. I found some letters to be a challenge.
fireflies. As, Ss and Ts were not easy to complete for me. Anything I can help with before I go?
congrats Sprite! only half way so way too early but thanks. Have a great day
and you a nice evening and a very good night, lyn. *hugs*
back again
WTG Spritey!!
Hello, All :-)
hi Sandy. Finished your training already?
hi zooz, lyn, and bye sprite
morning Zooz
lynx, I finished that book (Romulus) I really enjoyed it and loved his style of writing. I had to skip quickly over the last pages because of the crying thing
training lynx?
hope you are feeling good zooz!
for tomorrow's icon theme Sandy
Thanks Sandy, will be going to the hospital, in a few mins..to have another blood test..lol
lynx, have been trying to scan a pic of me for my icon LOL
ugh hate blood tests - hate needles
ok zooz, that is good to hear you are being checked
Sandy be careful of the size of the photo, do not think it will be accepted for an icon if the file size is too large.
hmmm zooz, that sounds very difficult for me
I don`t mind normally Lynxxx, although i do bruise very easily.
I am going to try my hardest to get it on (the photo i mean)
BBS
bye for now lynxxx
Sandy if you put `resizing pictures` into google, you will find lots of info there.
thanks for that zooz, i promise i will try
it is easy to do, just very hard to explain in a chog..lol
I actually did scan a pic into the computer, I thought that bordered on genius
I have learnt a lot from playing babble
will look forward to seeing the photo, Sandy :-)
LOL zooz, you will be soooo impressed.....maybe not....
Only one way to find out :-)
LOL what a hoot

no at6/18 clues...?
Norma, what other word games do you like?
at & canvas dwelling perhaps
lynx, the one before that
I play quite a few on facebook not all word games but babble is my favourite, I have played it almost from the beginning
at5/6 make up for your sins - of course not you Sany!
SanDy
I used to play the now extinct tangleword and heard of babble from that. Now I sometimes play Serpentine which is a copy, but it often freezes
Where is Serpentine on the web ??
thanks lynx, but I have that one too, it is right before your at (canvas thing) at6/18 the second one or the middle one
Sandy - i too was in tangelword.. play serpentine now also..
Sepentine - games.cobradragon.com
sandy ... it is the plural of at5/10
as well as occasionally Wordsplay, I have also been playing Letter Blox which is OK
hi cosmos, I am hopeless at serpentine - always last- but still like the concept , does it ever freeze on you?
Thanks Cosmo I will go and have a look, then my husband will never see me lol
I was devestated when tangleword stopped ,
Serpentine - is not as stable as babble.. but it is ok.. manageable.. sometinmes freezes... i play for fun.. not to increase my ratings.. so it's ok..
i am 'iluvcofee' in serpentine..
Will look out for you Cosmo
Hello all, I did indeed get my wish for a slightly bigger grid eh?
I still have friends I email from tangle, and I am still sandyloo in serpentine, I will look for you\
hi Red
think that is the at7/28 lynxx, it is after that
Hi Red
no no I have it thanks lynxx duh....
Sandy it is the plural of at5/10
couldnt see for looking
Time to go and have some breakfast see you all later
bye Norma
have all the a s greyed out now, thank goodness
Hi Lynnx Norma,sandy and everyone!
I am actually going to go out and do a little exercise, saving this nice one for a bit later!!!
just peeking...
hi and bye red
52 left, all S's an T's, least I got all the bigguns
hi Dizgrannie
good going gran, I have 161 left
hello lynxxx and sandyloo
BBL perhaps, my concentration is gone
whats the weather like around Aus, here its one day spring the other winter or wet
as usual it is sunny here in the day but freezing cold at night and hardly any rain- we have had an incredibly dry winter
it has been like a mild summer
I dont think there has been any increase in our main dam supplies
the rain here is like a few drops here and there, most is about an hour of solid downpour, nothing to whet ones whistle.
we have had some downpours - enough to keep out water tank full and the grass green , but we need water into our dams
know what ya mean, Sandy. Pity the real rain (heavy downpours) cant fall in the catchment areas
certainly dont get the water flowing into the dams
what town do you live in gran ?
we are Townies, in a rental place and are seriously thinking of asking landlord to instal a rainwater tank.
near Campbelltown NSW
I think that we all should have at least a small rainwater tank, it would help a lot
do ya think the Dept of Housing would install them????
I think you would get some rain in the summer though? I know it seems to rain in Sydney in the summer
yea it rains in Sydney, but not enough lately
I remember when I was young (cough, cough...lol) we would have complete rain for days at a time
here too, I remember lovely winter days but this winter none of the above
nowadays we have a shower or downpour and thats it
I am hoping for some late rain of note
In Canberra our dam is at 72% - fantastic - and water restrictions have been eased a little. Still, Canberra is set to grow a lot over the next decades so water supply is still an issue.
to me this past winter wasn't that cold, eldest dtr lives in Tasmania, was down there last month and it wasn't too bad (cold wise)
I think I would like to live in Tasmania (where my mother was from). A lovely place with so much to see in a small space.
sara, population growth all over aus is sure to happen and that becomes such an issue as you say. I have wanted our government to pipe water down from the kimberleys - they say it is too expensive but it would bring life to the land in the north on the way down- they should do it
and I LOVE Tassie, it is gorgeous
sandyloo, where are you?
SaraY, dtr is in Devonport...lurv the top end of Tassie, it is soooo clean and fresh. Since moving there 2 yrs ago, g/son has not (touch wood) had an asthma attack, whereas in NSW he was hospitalize twice in his young life
I am in perth , we live about half an hour from the city on 8 acres and we have a house in nedlands which is 10 mins out of the city
My partner, David, was born, raised and educated in Perth, leaving after university for a job in Canberra. We have visited many times and I love WA. Done lots of sightseeing south, north and east of Perth. Only place west would be Rottnest Island!!
I have just got back from a holiday in Denmark (WA) which is so lovely
dizgrannie, David and I have spent a little time in Tasmania but still have the entire north coast to do.
which is of course down south
we did the gibb river road last year in our north that was great
Yes, we have been there. David has a nephew with a winery, Hamelin Bay, south and east of Margaret River.
have sis in law in queensland so have travelled there a lot too
Have friends with vineyards in Denmark and also a friend with vineyard in Yallingup so we are lucky with wine
sandyloo, we were set to do the Gibb River Road in 2008 but at El Questro we lost the 4wd in our Jeep and didn't want to risk it, so headed back to Kununurra.
We are looking forward to north Queensland but have been stymied over the past 2 years with a pending law suit - yuk!
probably wise Sara, we loved every minute of our trip, did you go to the thermal pools at el questro?
a law suit is no fun
Do you mean Zebedee Springs? Yes, we did, and got there early before most of the tourists.
yes i do , we loved it and stayed for ages, we also went horse riding and really enjoyed the gorges etc
note nota
thanks nan
didnt have that second one
A wonderful part of Australia. We saw Amalia and Emma Gorges - the ones you can reach without 4wd.
so many wonderful parts to see all over aus, I feel lucky to live in australia
LOL daughter is telling me to go on "Come Dine With Me" I told her I definitely dont want to go on Tele LOL
You must be a super cook, let me know if you change your mind and I will tune in!
sorry just went out for a little walk
dinnertime now
hi all
hi jm
hi jim
sorry to he** the continued drought stories i thought it had eased a bit
depends where in the country - some farmers are expecting their best harvest in 10 years, whereas other places have been flooded out with losses of crops and stock. What we need is a national 'happy medium'.
in kenya the are using more and more rain tanks to even out the feast/famine rain they have there
but then most kenyans have no water system at all other than going down to the river
In Australia the government gives a rebate to suburban home-owners installing a rain tank. In some areas building approval will not be given unless a rain tank is included in the plans.
that sounds very reasonable especially considering the water issues
huh, it does not accept huhs
I think it is a great idea. The same thing is starting to happen with solar panels as a source of alternate power.
yes i plan on adding solar panels when i do an addition on my house
huhs - I tried that one, with no luck. Also 'satan' which is in my Macquarie Dictionary.
i have never understood why it wont take satan
I think satan must be a proper noun
we have something in common sara
my daddy's family was "convict" stock in georgia in the 1700
Where did the convict come from? I have convicts on both my father's and mother's side of the family. My father's convict ancestor (his great-grandfather) was James Brown - try researching that name with virtually no information! Enough to turn your hair grey or be pulled out in frustration.
what are the stats on the Z please
scotland sent over by the brits
What you get off a lemon and the first hyphened name of a Welsh-born actress.

Hi Herin
Oops, sorry.
How are you all?

np you are new and there are so many things to learn here!
Hi Sara and welcome to prodom
oh is she newly pro too?
welcome indeed sara
Yep
how long did you play before going pro Sara?
I know, I have seen many abbreviations I am trying to work out. eg, what does 'prodom' mean? 'np' is obviously 'no problem' and 'ty' thank you, but what is 'ntb' (or is it 'nbt')?
nbt is no blank tiles
nbt is no blank tile meaning you have a word from each of the tiles
Right!!! ty
prodom is well the st*** of being a pro! lol
jusst started and found a 9!! hello all
wtg peri
Ok, but what does 'going pro' mean?

:)
Getting all the stats and stuff
have no 9's but i do have a 10
uh you paid for the membership
*looks impressed at peri and nono*
what are the st**s on the lower u (i will take my clue from the penalty box with herin)
Got it. Yes I paid for the membership about 2 weeks ago. My daughter knew I enjoyed word puzzles and suggested I look at Babble. It was recommended to her as a way of increasing her vocabulary as part of a university post-grad course in editing. PS Sometimes I wish she hadn't told me, as there are soooo many other things I should be doing!
you and everyone of us! lol
ug4/8 jmc its what you will say when you find it

Very pretty FM
thanks herin, it made it worth being up so early.
I like early
(Early evening)
lol
I am trying to get everything sorted for tommorow
I woke up just after 5 this am and took the pic about 6.15. What is happening tomorrow?
CLasses. Need to hang up laundry, make my lunch have a shower and remove hat hair
hat hair or cat hair *grin*
Please say 'cat hair' to make me feel better about all the dog hair around me! ;)
Both actually. I have been snuggling Lucius and have been wearing a hat that looks like a kitty
lol Champ and herin!
Seriously...it's so bad!!! Must learn to knit...
My friend made me a hat that is white and has ears and ear flaps
Cute! What was the occasion?
we will want to see a pic of that of course herin!
Because I wanted a hat.
well there ya go!
It needs eyes and a mouth first because it looks very very weird at the moment
That and my g.f is awesome sewing
everyone knows how much babblers love to see pics.
Wonder what she could do with 100 lbs of dog hair...
Weave it and make it into a sweater
spin it on a spinning wheel and then knoit into something.
*knit even!
she is really crafty and hopefully her love will make her a forge
the possibilities are endless!
indeed they are.
They live on the farm. They have been exploring the property lately and found the bone yard.

OOOH! The other i from there is a large lizard!
I finally can sit for a few minutes
Hi Herin!
Ahhhhh...sit and relax
How you all?
I'm good, thanks. You?
Fine for a Monday!
Just finished my chores
getting ready to do mine.
Please come do mine!
Was out most of the weekend
Wow! Found an 8, 9 and 10 already! Whee!
For fun Herin?
care to share, Car.?
Yep
an 8/40, at 9/54 and st 10!!!
I only have one 8 and one 9 .... the blessing for the 6, the one who blesses for the 8 and plural for the 9
hmmm, more of a clue than that for the 9 and10 please :-)
I was out all day Sat. Mostly fixing the car then shopping then Sunday lunch with himself's family then at my besties who lives on a farm near were we were
What do yours start with?
oops, forgot that part .... AN
AT 9/54....Pay AT 9/54 when I am speaking to you!
http://forestedge.com.au/ THis is were we went except now there is a fairy statue instead of the bird birth
thanks Car.
ST 10/70....I believe this is the term used for people who sell fancy paper and envelopes.
So you had some fun then Herin!
We did. i got to see my besties and be on their farm
***SLAP*** ... didn't see those at all. Thanks so much {{Car.}}
Very glad to help Mom!
Nice!
and I appreciate your helping
sounds delightful Herin
TY for your help as well! Got 'em!
Herin, please help me remember. What season are you in?
you're welcome
Spring
Was the farm all lovely and full of young life?
Just one baby chicken and lots and lots of stinky cows. There may be one or two calfs on the way. I think maybe horses on the back paddock. They are renting the house and the landlord has the rest. I think someone is renting the stables
Lol! Stinky cows! For some reason that made me laugh!
Just told the little ones that sn 4/4 (boogers) was in the grid and they think that is sooooooo funny! They are running around saying "Babble SN4/4"!!!!
lol Car. Thanks I didn't have that one
They are.
Clearly....I don't get out much!!!!
The girls love it up there. They even have a very creepy bone yard were all dead live stock has died. It is fascinating
I wouldn't like the bone yard
Wow....That does sound cool! My boys would LOVE the bone yard!
It is interesting
I am hoping to take my boys on a dinosaur dig for a vacation inthe future.
Car yes they would love the place
hello everybody
Hi Ruby!
{{{Ruby}}} hello
I was informed that there was also a stinky rotten cow down the back too Car.
HI Ruby
77 words this AM and now I have another 30 minutes to spend with my friends!
{{mom}}
Now that I would not go near. UGH!
Whoops! PB for me!
{{herin}}
Car. ... add a S to your last word
LOL! I do have those Mom! PB on 2 accounts!
you get double treats then
They don't have the internet at the moment and rarely watch the tv. It is tooooooooooo far for my liking
That is a little too remote for me as well!
thank you for the clues, car!
It is for me
wow, boneyard!
closest we come is two dogs buried in the garden
The girls dragged back to the house this mammoth horse head
To your house or your friends' house?
I got the last 10 letter word
Oh so glad I can help Ruby! Tee hee!
Rock on Mom!
mom?????
Made my day
My friends house.
in 10/70
How "clean" was the specimen Herin?
Picked clean and dried out and old. But there is wild dogs about.
Now was it all bleached white like in the movies?
hm, mom, subject matter? I'm hopeless
and Enrico Morrone music playing in the background?
Good morning kids!
{{[Scrabs}}}!
Hi Scrabbler
hello scrabbler
Big grid! And many big words!
(going to Google Enrico Morrone)
in + John ***volta + what the S stands for in USA
I am at work, so will be here when I can.
not plural though
Morning Scrabbler
beautiful clue, mom, thank you!
TY Mom!
you're welcome Ruby and Car.
work is so overrated Scrabs! Stay here with us!!!!!
this isn't work?
Ennio Morricone--composer of the soundtrack of The Mission--beuatiful music!!
But, Car, I need income.
It would help if I had speakers that worked on my laptop! Will have to look him up another time!
I got the name wrong but didn't he also write the soundtracks for the spaghetti westerns? I was thinking of herin's cow skull.....
thanks
I know, we all do! I worked last night and will work my other job later today.
He has composed much music.
Ladies, I have NBT and made it halfway. Now, time to do the housework. {{{Hugs}}} to all of you
I am a movie addict, my whole life
Loves Mom
Great work, Mom!
{{{herin}}} pleasant dreams
thanks Scrabbler
housework, oh no! make yourself little treats every 15 minutes or so {{mom}}
oh this isn't too bad today, strip and remake the beds, do the bathrooms and iron
I did almost everything on my to-do list yest--laundry, fresh litter boxes for the bunnies, vacuuming.
Good morning Babblers
hello lex
thanks Scrabbler, I do need to run the sweeper
Hi lexo
hi and bye Lexo
scrabbler, is it easy to litter-box train bunnies?
Hi Lexo!
Ruby...my bunny trained very easily.
this is a fun grid! half-way already, yipee!
car, do you also have a dog?
I am thinking of getting one as a pet for my chow chows
When we had the bunny we did not have a dog. Our bunny passed away and now we live with my mom who has a dog. So when we get new bunnies this spring it should be interesting!
Yep! Even older bunnies--my 2 foster now adopted bunnies were easily trained. When you fisrt get a bunny, keep them in the cage, place a box (no clay litters, just the recycled paper material) in a corner, and when they consistently use the box, I let 'em loose.
what kind of dog? my husband thinks our (gentle) dogs would kill it
SQUEEEEEE!! Bunnies! I miss mine!
Car, you will get new bunnies? *squeal*
Oh it is a terrier mix, so it won't be good at all!
Yes, the boys both would like one this spring, "for easter".
I am wondering if G will be at classes tomorrow. I don'[t know what to say to her as her fiancé died last week.
I know people that mix dogs, cats + bunnies. I worry that bunny would become eaten.
I am thinking we might keep the hutch out on the attached enclosed porch and then let them out there and then in the house when the dog is in a room with the door closed.
Oh Herin. I am sorry to hear that.
You don't have to say anything. Just listen, hug her, ask her how you can help.
Scrabs, my bunny terrorized my cats! It was so funny!
sghjkl J
that is so sad, herin
What happened to him, herin?
I just know her as one of the girls and now she wont be.
car, did you get it on video
Italian...please translate!
Did the greyhound type that message?
Silly bunny, Car!
No idea I just know her as one of the girls in first year. I am second year. I know taht he was about 19
just sent you an email ruby
No, Ruby! I never had the camera handy when it happened! Van Gogh (our bunny) would charge at the kitties and keep them at bay! The cats would jump high in the air to avoid him! He did not like the feel of the tile on the kitchen floor, so he would stay in the living room and keep them in the kitchen!
I love that car! I can picture the cats jumping in fright
translation: Oops
My friend has a rescue rabbit. He is known as a very bad name
My friend's bunny hangs out with the cats--they groom each other + snuggle together.
thank you, Sandy, I will go and look. Please forgive me for being so remiss with the promised "memoir"
fortunately, our houseguest didn't stay. I was greatly relieved that he found it too difficult going back and forth to his meetings in Geneva
Oh Scrabs! too cute!
how bad is the name?
Well everyone, it has been nice chatting with you all! I must go and be productive for a while and get the kiddies off to school!
Italian Question please
Is that the bunny's name?
hahah sandy!
Is that for me, Her?
Very Bad the rabbit is called Reggie but he has another ending
Bye Car
Bye everyone!
I think grey's dog got on the keyboard; you know greyhounds don't spell very well
Italian do you know a freemason by the name of Thomas ?
Bye Caree
Sounds like a trick question, but no
bye car
a trick, I doubt it
netta
I ask because he is a TX friend that was looking at buying an Italian Greyhound. He is in Spring at teh mo
oops... :)
Spring, TX? I lived right by there for 12 years

hello flosey
Hello, Flosey :-)
I'm still missing an6 and 7, any clues there please?
hi zooz
ooh, i nearly missed out the mountain..phew
well volcano
got them,
i hate it when i give in to the list at the latter stages of the grid, to find i missed out very simple fish words, like the et4 + 5..lol
it's annoying when you can't monkey a 4 letter word!
Eh, we've all been there more than once, zooz. I firmly believe this game causes drain bamage.
Not wrong flosey.
LOL, Judi
And fishatosis.
i always get that..lol
It's contagious and chronic here, unfortunately.
yes Judi, good word
Wonder why Rasta is not accepted.
suppose you have to say rastafarian.
I'm just trying to bash my way through the vowels now. (insert profanity here)
i don`t think we need to Judi, as most of us i feel are monkeying away ourselves..lol
need more coffee, brb
Amen to that, zooz. I'm down to 118. Using Lickety and A2Z.
still got 224, not listed yet.
Time for lunch. Back after 1:00. *POOF*
Enjoy your meal, Judi :-)
Hi zooz, how ya doing?
Not too bad, thanks FM, still taking injections to thin the blood...leg is hurting, but i`m ok..how are you?
Doing OK, it has just started raining again (quelle suprise).
What did you do to your leg?
yes it has been raining here for about an hour or so.
or is it the injections that are paining you?
OK am goig to blame you for the rain then :)
well i damaged the vein a while ago, when i wads being silly...and they found i had a blocked vein, so have to take warfrin & injections to try and help the body to get rid of it..lol
was*
oh you twit, hope it heals soon and well!
lol, i hope so too, such a horrible pain...i look a right twerp trying to walk..hahaha
oh no, hope that gets better soon, zoozzoom!
hello, and thankksGeorge.
oh by the way..is that you, asking to be friends on last.fm?
oh me, yeah?
ignore it if ya like, lol!
you can't be a twerp and a twit at the same time, you will end up falling over :) Hi George.
cool..i will add you then, don`t add people normally :-)
LOL, FM
sure ya can, aren't twerps twits and vice versa? not that zoozzoom's either though! hi!
oh your all right there, coz I'm not normal, ha!
you will find i have a very wide range in music..lol
true George, true.
you'll probably find mine's wider, ha! very ecclectic, stuff that some say doesn't belong in the same collection of music!
but our zooz is a very special person :)
yeah, he's a good sort!
hear hear!
put it this way, if it's good music I'll appreciate, no matter what the style, pretty much, not that all styles are good, ha, ha!!
yeah right, me..lol, i think twerp & twit is fine..lol
I mean hard house? don't get me started, lol!
if its melodic, i will listen to it, then the meaning if it is a sad song, the rest i don`t bother..lol
urgent matter has come up, may be back later today
zooz did you mean to send this much rain over, I appreciate I don't have to water the garden but even so I may have to build an Ark.
is it his fault??
Take care Flosey, hope it all works out.
flosey, what's up, you all right love!?
what's this? fmitch trying to blame something on someone else?
Sorry FM, it will ease soon..trust me :-)
LOL, hello, Dorens :-)
OK *I believe you*
Dorens!!!!!!!! How was you hoilday and congrats on the job.
good lord there are a lot of a words!
and thanks fm... holiday was great... lunch with ruru was one of the highlights, and being back at work is delightful. how have you been?
Fine, just fine.
good to see you back in babble land.
Do you have any pics of your visits?
thanks... good to be here. just dont' have much time for chat... am trying to make a dent as i have busy afternoon and evening
i will put up some pics of my grandchildren, etc, wine tastings, but unfortunately no shots of ruru
.. the elusive ruru eh!
Phantom : Enter
what a great time we had... my 29 year old daughter adored him too
Enter all Who Dare - should be the message over BabbleLand.
lol
Happy you all had such a good time.
George, no, we're fine, trying to get appropriate assistance for a young lady with multi problems and is now beeing evicted!!
well good luck with that flosey
oh dear flosey, thats sounds complicated, hope you can help.
hey, I took an absolute guess at a word I didn't think would ever work, never hear of or seen it, to find it actually worked -- gu9/72, ha!
oh no, flosey, hope you get that all sorted!
thanks george, as soon as you said there is a gu i got it too!
i found an at9 earlier..looking for the gu9 now..lol
almost 5.30 so I must be off - a couple of things ti finish off before the work day is done. Happy Babbling all.
yeah, I have an at9/54
thanks, now i have the at too bye fM.. have a good evening
take care FM, nice seeing you :-)
didn't even know there was a gu9 word, not listed yet, just monkeying about, lol!
will hafta list if I'm ever to finish, got 114 left!
got 178 left here
yeah, but I started at flip, couldn't sleep, had a set to with a couple of tossers who got hold of my mobile no. and were harrassing me with it, had them threatening action coz I posed the number it was sent from -- yeah, he was stupid enough not to block the number when he rang me, ha, ha!! funny!
nothing they can do, they're at fault
posted, not posed, lol!
thats a point, did you work out how to block numbers now?
oh yeah, at long last!
good :-)
found out who was behind it all as well, the pillock who rang me also had his number on the web, in a lost and found site -- too funny, got his name from that by googling the number, ha!
serves him right th4..lol
then the person who gave him my number and put him up to it all was stupid enough to post about it on twitter, so got him as well, lol! he got my no. off someone else, grabbed it from a m8's address book, bloody sneaky!! will have to change my no. now, which is a right pain with all the contacts I have to notify about it!!
yes, seems like you have to do all the running around changing things, because of a couple of idiots.
funny though, coz when I posted the number he was ringing from on my twitter and yahoo pages, Soodle saw it there -- I'd posted an update with the number, then saying 'he likes to sing, keep him busy' and a lot of my contacts were doing that, lol!
he was calling me and singing badly at me, when I didn't answer and let it go to voice mail he left his horrible singing on there!
LOL, bet he was pleased..not.
so Soodlebum rang him up and she and her kids sang really badly at him, several times -- his name's Oliver so they sang the song 'Oliver' at him, ha, ha!!
yeah, well, just desserts eh!?
what goes around..comes around they say..lol
any clues for the in10 plz?
what a weird thing to do though eh, just ring up a total stranger and sing badly at them? I mean what on earth for, makes no sense?!?
Thanks foe letting me know it is an in10...*looking*
for*
wish I had it, Sandieangel, didn't know there was an in10 words so you've got me trying it now!
in10- in + speed ***p + the US has 50 fo them
or maybe mouse ***p would be better
wow, excellent clue, thanks Scribekd :-)
ooh, ta scribekd! xx!
Thanks for that clue. It was driving me crazy.
appreciate that!!
you're very welcome!
wonder what the other 10 starts with?
st10/70--is pl of the st9 which guilds of the st7

hi flosey! lovely flower!
hi flosey

Hello, Peach :-)
hello gapeach!!
Hi there, zoozzoom.
George, see my bio
yeah all right, flosey
oh my I need to start cracking this one, I have 242 left to find!!
I'm struggling with this big, fat, tasty grid
hi peach
165 for me.
you can do it Red.
229 for me
I am enjoying a bit as I am not feeling like moving too much after this mornings exercise.
Scrabs..you lurking..lol
Let's go Babblers!
sent an add, flosey, see it?
*-8-*
My 1:30 patient is a now-show, as were 2 or 3 this morning.
go where?
Hey there, ruby.....I don't remember if I told you about a book I read that made me think of you. "A Gift from Brittany" by Marjorie Price....a really sweet read....a memoir actually. Hope you can get a copy....she's a really good writer.
weather too nice?
thank you, peach, I'll try to order it from amazon.fr
No. I am at the Indian Reservation and compliance with appts is inadequate.
feeling better after the weekend?
How can I not see any words?
If you are able to get it, let me know what you think, please.
ahh different..
George, please invite again - I somehow hit the wrong button - sorry, am so upset about this other situation, don't know what I'm doing'\
flosey please do not be upset, is all ok?
yes, I will, I'm always looking for a good read. I just finished re-reading Alice Munro's stories. She is wonderful!
yes, thanks, red, we're just in the middle of a nasty situation regarding a very ill girl here on the island
I just ordered 3 Louise Penny books--mysteries. Recommended by Babbler Gail.
Uh, oh, Flosey. What is going on with her?
ahhh phantom gauze.
have been in touch with every organization, ministry, etc,
Yep, tried it, Red.
what are you talking about, flosey, I see you lit up on there so you musta accepted it ok!?
she contracted lyme diseast at age 15, is now 38, no family, and no income, unable to work
Not familiar with Alice Munro, but will get a copy. Thanks
scrabbler, if you like mysteries, you would enjoy Colin Cotteril, about a Coroner in Laos, just a fun read...I can send you a copy of the first one.
she is one of my favorite authors, underappreciated, I think. And I really like short fiction
Let me look him up.
George, somehow I hit the block messages, so I can't even respond to you
oh how awful, flosey, that's rough and one never get over that disease do they, no cure for it?
well then there's nothing I can do until you unblock me, flosey
if that's the case -- doesn't look like it though!
right click on me and select 'unblock'
not at this advanced stage, she also had a stroke that left her unable to speak, has to write everything
Can you invite me again, George?
that is horrible, flosey, and at 38! Is that a result of the lyme disease?
no, flosey, not if you've blocked me
you have to unblock me, or no invite will go through even if I do delete and try to readd you!
BBL, scrabbs, let me know if you want the coroners lunch...
Red, his books are all highly rated!
so just right click on me, then select 'unblock', pretty easy to do!
Is that his first, red?
bye for noe Red :-)
now*
and yeah, that's awful to have all that happen at such a young age, only 38!
tyty, will do
I give up with 176 words. Good night everybody
{{flosey}}
George, there is a 'block' but I don't see an 'unblock
Take care Flosey :-)
{{zzoozz}}
bye flosey
uuuuuuuuugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh
what's the U?
haha
Hello, Hurshy :-)
pretty clever hursh-just make it pl & you''ve got it!
us + not untidy ***t
no, zooz, i was joking about the lower U.
:-)
*waves at hursh in the pb*
*goes red*...lol
hey come on out of the PB, Jmc :-)
ah, jmc-hursh was only 'close' to the real word-can't you let that slip?
not me, hursh
Hi Hurshy
where's the fun in that scribe! lol
Have to go now, we'll have to take this gal to her Dr. who is the only person who can place her - (she may fight being placed in a facility!!!
ooh, what grid word did you say, zoozzoom? ha! wonder if it's one I need......?!?
Do the best you can, Flosey.
be back later in the day
Hiya Georgie! :o)
dear me flosey! good luck
it was hurshy who almost said a word-
Oh I am back, sorry to pop in and out. Yes Scrabbs the coroners lunch is the first one. My Dad got me that one for the Holidays...now he, my mother and myself are all hooked....
hi shivs
it was for the one U in the second row, 2nd column
Hi Shivs and scribe and hursh...
hey sis, ha! what you doing here, gonna tackle this? hold up, I'll ring!
I sent you a msg on FB
hello, red-
cool... I apologize Scrabbs, oddly my legs hurt a wee bit today.
Hiya, everyone! Okay, Georgie... got it! ;o)
Oh, gee, after an 8 mile run? You should be sore.
yes and a headache, I think I may have gotten a bit dehydrated. I had a fight with the scale yesterday.
i never died doing a 6 mile walk!
lunch break with Babble and Tom Lehrer - can it get any better?!
hi all
sounds like heaven to me jess
Hi and bfn, Shivs
*nearly died
I am glad jmc that you had no episodes of death, as they are somewhat serious.
Oooh different!
i should walk more *sigh*
Hi jessmom!
I should run more...
sigh...
words are not jumping out at me - "The Masochism Tango" is appropriate...
i am so impressed by your dedication to running red
hi red
Hello, Jessmom :-)
hi zooz!
it is not that impressive jmc, I actually like to do it, so it's like someone elses dedication to say making cookies, something I hate...
seems to me running 8 miles is plenty!
I have a 9 mile race in 2 weeks or so...and I am not really ready but..what can one do..
well i can't say that i do! running is not even on the radar
Hello, all. It's a gorgeous day here; and I have a list of things to do a mile long; but here I sit; looking for non-exsitant words.
if I had to get up and make cookies 3-4 times a week I would be miserable. or say get up and do ZUmba! eeek!
walking i can at least imagine and occasionally make a stab at
hi nef
Hello, Nef :-)
hi Nef, how are you and the husband?
who says they're non-existant?
??? non-exisitant??? where'd did THAT come form??
LOL! NOW I see why I'm not finding words! I can't spell today! :-D
:)
hi red, jmc, and zzooz
i must go off and try to find $$$ bbl
*puts on cape and leaps out of chog*
Take care Jmc!
best wishes jmc!
Watch that first leap, jmc.
Mondays aren't good leaping days (in my mind anyway)
I liek Mondays so far in September I have not had to work one. which is a relief because I worked all 5 in August.
ahh volcano alert!
it's a pain when you have to work all the Mondays or Fridays in a month, isn't it?
It was difficult, as mondays can be so crazy.
I forgot; what type of unit are you working in? ER??
yup ER. I am enjoying it for the most part.
I didn't realize that ER would be crazy on Mondays. I thought Firdays were the worst day of the week in ER. Then again; I've never worked ER; so what do I know?
Mondays and then Fridays are the worst, but Mondays top all...
My personal belief is that people think they will see their MD on Mon, btu then the MD office is crammed, so they are told to go to the ED. and of course because they waited all weekend some of them are sicker...
but we dont know why really.
Wow. I know that Mondays were tough in the CV-ICU I worked in because of all the new surgicals coming in (it was our busiest evening/night shifts)
Oh wow, I bet those were popular shifts (not!)
Ahh! Now that makes sense! :-)
Hello Everyone
HI River!
this is quite the grid...
I am liking it as I am too sore to move.
WB, River :-)
I didn't mind working Monday eves or nights; and I'll bet I worked more Mondays than I should have because I never complained about it
thanks zooz - just only a a few minutes break from work
hi River
Must take a nap....be back later....good luck to all.
I imagine so Nef...I really dont like Mondays. partly too because there is something so nice about being off when everyone else is rushing off to work.
Bye for now Peach, happy napping :-)
enjoy Peach!
bye peach - boy would I love a nap right now *sigh*
Hang in there River, work will be over before you can say "Babble" :-)
hi all
2 hours to go......didnt sleep well last night - could sure sleep now
Hello, Boo :-)
Hi Boo
I just got back from the grocery store. It wasn't too crowded for a Monday
hey all!..ki;;ing timer before I pop in at work (surprise!) and then off to friends for dinner..
Stocking up the PB for us to enjoy then Boo..lol

Hello, Pav :-)
Hi Pav3

I bought peanut butter for all
hi Boo and Pav

Hi Nef
hi Nef!
Boy! Every so often in this grid I find a word that is the root of at least 3 more words! That is so helpful on a grid this size! :-)
Oooh thanks for the stocking of the PB, there was not much in there when I first entereed it and now it is empty.
there's lots now red
If you an an-noint something, why can you not noint it?
you can if you add a letter in front
good question red

there are four words from the same word, just extend
Hello...

Good point Pav, hey leave that food alone Red.
I'm quite full but enjoying the bed that stidmama put in there ages ago for me.
Hiya, Jellen! :o) Not stopping, won't even attempt a puzzle this big now! I was very sorry to hear and been thinking of you... how are you?
I an doing fairly well, thanks...family and friends are keeping me busy...

I'm sorry. I hope that I haven't caused you pain by asking you about this.
Hi everyone. Hi Jellen, seeing you are making some changes in your plans. You will make the right choices, I'm sure. Still you know my heart goes out to you.

Hi Jilly
hi boobear and all again!
hi jil;li
145 left now -- diving back in...
(sorry, new keyboard and it's slowing me down considerably: hi jilli!
Hi nef too :)
I assume the tennis is postponed again?
Nef, I know how it is with keyboards --finding the laptop very hard to get used to. This is the regular desktop one.
I have to correct ne**ly everything I type and as soon as I forget to read something; it's either mis-spelled or has extra letters/symbols in it
When I use the laptop; I plug the regular keyboard into the laptop so I don't have to deal with the tiny keyboard
my laptop has a bilingual keyboard with extra letter in blue, and no words on the Shift, Enter,Tab keys etc -- very confusing.
My laptop has a big keyboard -- it's a 15" one, wide screen.
And I suffer from Typonitis anyway.
not that would be way too confusing for me, jilli!
(the bilingual keyboard I mean)
yes, well, that's because it's Canadian so French must be allowed.
LOL!
Sorry Jilli, if you answered... was away for a while. I'm back, but having to leave this and go to bed.
or I should say English mustn't be imposed.
Well, Shivs, it was good to see you anyway, no matter how briefly.
LOL, thanks... you too. :o)
I have to leave soon too and get an early supper -- bridge night.
I hate leaving this with 93 words to find but can't be helped... sleep is more important!
so back to the grid -- bye!
(sleep tight, shivs!)
HiJilli!
I'm not going just yet... once I finish my cup of tea I'll sign out. Maybe I'll find another three words, to make it an even 90 left. :oP
hi red -- and I re-emerged for a moment.
buried in grid?
Shivs -- are you using the list? Do you need any clues I might have?
I wonder what the other two words I don't have, starting from the top row U could be? :o/
yes, red, buried in the grid and the lists.
No, Jilli... should have, though.
I have the theatre seater and plural of that...
Well, if you only have 93 left and you haven't used the list, I'd take my hat off to you if I were wearing a hat!
fireworks!
I need to go get the list...pronto. like now and stop talking about it.
COngratulations Jessmom!!!

finito! and totally brain drained!
yay dawg!
and i think it's time to list with 132 to go
congrats, dawg!
Oh it's nothing exciting... Molly has an appointment in town, so this was easier, a little more convenient than having to drive in from Beckenham so early. Now I really should get to sleep... did hope to see Georgie first, but not staying up any longer. :oP
night again shivs!
ty ty ty. not bad for being a bit sleep deprived. Sweet sleeps, Shivs!
LOL, yes... nighty night to everyone!! Oh speak of the devil, and he's sure to appear? :oP Hear him coming in now, LOL! TTYL. ;o)
to babble or not to babble
that is the question
{{{{Poof!}}}}
g'night shives
oh, live dangerously, LeslieAnn -- babble
whether tis nobler in the mind to bear the slings and arrows or words that start with vowels
or take arms against a string of 8-letter words
lol, nice leslie!
hi all.
could I beg for a clue for the last st 7,32?
hi jbp
i would love a clue for the left side i, or a clue for the z that is not like the soap
hi, all
last letter of the greek alphabet
greek letter z
thanks
os
and feath
would a lizard help for the left i
thanks zo!!
you guys rock
the left size i is really b*z*ar*
as for the st 7/32... i'm not there yet, sorry
its Ok, its a mystery to me...
oops, i can't spell that. b****re
train st7
or subway st7 if you prefer
then a one who and a plural of that
and that puts me over halfway!
good enough for me. night all!
I need a 7, 32 after all those DC, but thanks!!
I've got 134 to go . . . oy
wow i didn't even see that t- suffix... yikes!
ty. i'd forgotten to plural the iz
red, st7.32 starts with consonants and is vigorous
as8 is the sam as st7
k thanks, looking for that...
ahhh thanks!
:)
i found it when someone said it started with a bunch of consonants
and it does.
clue for either the as or st 8? ;-)
i mean 7
as8 and st7 are same: A condition of bodily strength, vigor, or vitality.
back for a few more!
hi, flosey
hi dc, have you finished yet?
nope. 123 to go
oh, wow, I have only 75 to find
i spent 6h watching a 4 mo old. not much time to babble during the day.
I'm a noob .. what do you mean by as*
though i did get a short nap and a couple chapters read in my book
lol, that would keep you busy
oops8 and st7
as* means word starts with as and has * letters
ty dc
welcome, ironstein
T's done!!!
sa8>?
and fireworks. last word was an expression of disgust, how perfect!! ug**!
congrats, red, and ty
my thesaurus is not helping me....
it's a strange word, ru, to make something very clean
thanks Red!
thank you flosey
ty flosey
wow, did you get it from my clue!!
you're both welcome!
yes.. thank you
indeed so :)
i don't mean to be dense (the dense ones never do) but I am not getting this: condition of bodily strength, vigor, or vitality
I'm not finding the sa6 after the sa8, any clues?
if you search for that phrase, you'll find the word. It starts with several consonants and is latinate in form
flosey, like a man's name CA***, with different last vowel
as + adverb + 2 vowels
oh, good one, nef :)
thanks dc
hi seain, flosey, and jbp. Just trying to get through this; glad it was a day off for me!
hi Nef, me too! have been busy, in and out all day
no
sorrry, that was an accidental "no"
this one definitely has convinced me not to tackle grids over 300 these days.
yeah, i've googled, i've thesaurized... unless salubriousness is in the grid...
I thought you were just being oppositional this evening, SeaSpray. ;-)
hi Nef
No, I am watching the football game and biting my nails
can't think of a man's name ca***
ca**** city, Nevada is the capital
ty again dc
having grown up in a region where mother's maiden name is often given as a name to child, my view of common may be skewed :)
got it, thanks dc
why isnt sa4/5 another name for lucifer?
proper names aren't allowed, cos
oh wow that shld have been obvious to me
ty lol
sa 5/18?
Well, this has been a good brain puzzle. But with 90 left, I think I'll bow out and wish you all pleasant evenings.
have a great evening and pleasant dreams, stidgmere
bye sm
hi stidgmere, enjoy your evening
sa5.18 sa & a good belly la***
sa5/18 - now don't la*** haha

yw

wtg Lyn, good for you
that's the one DC gave - like a man's name ca**** - change last vowel
whooo hooooo LYNXXX
sorry ruru; not yet

s + firebug, change last vowel to another
Yay, lynxxx!!! WTG!!!
firebug?
and thanks dc, floset, and lbd for the clues on that word

flosey! Sorry! (I'm starting to hate this keyboard!)
fireflies
and me too ru, still working on sn and st
**bang**
congrats, wild and lyn!
rur, someone who starts fires is a firebug
firebug = lightning bug
wtg wildcat
tyty and good night
not seeing any bug
g'night wild
any luck on those sn's flowey?
non at all, except the rude one, sn4/4
sn4 -- ends like number crunching school class
they can't possibly be words we use every day
extend for other sn words
thank my monkeys for that one
sn 5/12 is sn+ wr*** of Khan (Jellen's clue earlier) and sn 6/21 adds a vowel to the end of that
tyty Nef
and then plural
oops! yes; forgot to say that
no prob Nef, once you get the first, the others follow
I am going to ne4ed help at the end of this one
need a clue for st8
ah, monkeyed it
short for stanley + not day
thanks ru
is that some kind of rock?
whew! s complete
wow, not starting that one.... too big
can you clue the last st 7 flosey?
lol.. weeeny
starts with 3 cons,
I will accept that
I've been trying that st8 for the longest time and was trying to go from the wrong st! Wow! thanks for the help
Hi again...
hi jellen - looks like you had a good trip
is it a common word? flosey?
I had a very good trip!
that is great!
not for me! ends sort of like the country Lithua***
change first vowel
thanks
got it
wtg ru
can you help me with two more s's?
hope so
sa 6/18 # 2 and the sh 6/33?
I popped over to see if i could take a brief break ad run through the grid, but am not going to start this 300+ one, so will go back to studying - happy babbling
night.. kje..
you're a smart woman, kje.

the grid is more fun than studying
Bye, kje
Ca**** City, capital of Nevada
finally.. thanks

I was going nuts on that one

38

I'll second that Nef

ty....whew...it was a biggie!
I have 96 left; I definitely won't finish
nef...Never say never! Can I help?
no; even with a list, with something this size I can't figure out what I need help with. I made up my mind to quit at 100 left; so I won't feel bad if I don't finish
so I've already found more words th** I've allowed myself; and that's okay
I hadn't been playing regularly lately so my stats went way down so I'm trying to pump them up so I can at least show on the cream of the crop and hopefully on the village elders....so here I am not getting things done in my house and playing games....I tell myself it's not really playing games it is brain exercising....there that feels alot better now!
well...I better be off gotta get up early to vote in primary tomorrow morning...passing luck on to all and niters...*poofy*
I know what you mean. I didn't play for a year or so and saw my stats go way down too; it's harder to get them up th** it was to keep them up! I now tell myself I deserve a break to play Babble as often as I can. I enjoy it and find it helpful for my brain
Niters MP! (Stupid keyboard makes it hard to type fast replies!
lol,mp and nef,no need to justify your addiction here..we all understand totally;)
plus it is not addictive as i have quit many,many times
hi crossy. How are you tonight?
:)
:-)
not too bad at all;)
but having a tiny grid followed by a monster grid is cramping my style;/
Say, someone asked me the other day about e-readers and I forgot which one you said was best. (I'll use that as an excuse for still being here chipping away at this grid) ;-)
LOL! i am only 20,000 from making it to the dead last position on the villiage elders list:)
as of this time,seeing as you are in the states,i must reccomend the barnes and noble nook reader hands down
i also own one and the wife owns a sony reader
really? Why?
ok....
the kindle does not even make the grade because it is not a open file format reader.it uses proprietary format exclusive to amazon,which mean no e-pub format,which is used by all libraries
so now we are down to sony or nook....
each are good but there are small differences
for the real vision impared,go with the sony 600 touch screen reader
it has 1 extra font size option than the nook
okay (madly copying and pasting your responses for later)
the nook on the other hand has 2 screens...
a text non touch screen as well as a lower colour touch screen
the sony has landscape and protrait screen layout,the nook just portrait....
the nook on the other hand in the base model has chess and sukudo and will go online
hi all...here to get a few more...
so it is all about personal preference
howdy pini
hi crossy...am I interrupting a sale? :)
if you use a lot of pdf files with scetches and pictures,go with the sony
nope,someone just asked for advice
cause pdf looks better in landscape
if you want to library crawl in e-pub,go with the nook
* giggle * (thought that might be the case; it's nice to know someone has knowledge!)
any other info i can give you?
Hi Pini. No a friend had asked me about e-readers and I'd been here recently when crossy was talking about them. So I told my friend to wait til I got the info from crossy
oh and 1 biggie..the battery pack is only replacable by the consumer in the nook,the sony and the kindle are factory change only
and the nook can take a 32 gig micro sd card as well
so each have merits
Whew! That's a lot of info in a short time! Thanks, crossy!
all in my mind nef,all in my mind...problem is i cannot remember where my pants are! lol
Oh-oh. I gotta help DH get into the shower; BRB!
* giggle *
i spent a year researching before we got the wifes reader and 2 years before i got mine,so i sifted though tons of reviews and other info on them
If I finish this grid, it will be a miracle!
...and your brief thought on the iPad?
does not accept flash....thats my deal breaker
does not get briefer than that lol
flash? application?
yup..so many sites use flash,i cannot see myself using an i pad for any more than a office program and a reader or maybe a jukebox
gotcha ;)
and the preference between the sony and nook?
it it took adobe flash..i would of had one already
(don't need the specifics, just overall impression)
please help with in 10/70
i must go with the nook at this time,unless you use a ton of non fiction pdf text books and such
think highway
crossy loves his nook
I'll keep that in mind, crossy! :)
if you are a student,got real bad vision go with the sony
back. Thanks so much crossy!
np;)
<-- not a student ;)
the wife sets her fonts to xxl and landscape mode and can read fine with 20/400 vision
get it oro?
wow thanks pini
;) now if I could find the other 218 words I'm missing! LOL
ahh ty pini,spelt a tad different
yeah, forgot to say it was a var spell
er...should have said in-state highway
and a last thought on e-readers,i do not know how i lived without one.i now have over 100 books on it,about 80 pictures and 200 songs;0
nice, crossy!!! :)
and I'll escort myself to the PB for that one
oooh, got a 9 by myself! :)
yaa for pini!!
now i am only 19000 form last spot on the elder list:/
LOL, Pini. I've been trying not to say th** all night. It's the 4 letter words that get me every time
hi all, i need help with the secon sa 6/18, please? thanks. I also don't understand the clue for the in 10. dumb it down, please? thanks
well,i am off for the night.tc all my babble buddies and happy babbling
poof!
in + ***il mix + OR, WA, IL, AL are all *****s
it rhymes with the old talk show host, Johnny Ca**** (last vowel is changed)
I only have 3 sa words and none are a 6/18
thanks nef and pini, got the both,
thx nef ... got it now! :)
them
;) yvw
yw joey. How are you these days?
i am ok, nef, but developed lymphedema in my right arm again - PITA
thanks for asking
Hello again...
hi jellen ;)
Just passing through...called it good at 50%...
I think I may call my visit a pass through, too...another 189 words to go and I should really find something to munch on...
...will be back closer to flip. ;)
Bye, Pini...
Sorry, got called away to help DH out of shower and dried him off.
Joey, that lymphedema is a PITA; but keep working on it. Do you have the jobst glove and sleeve to help control it?
afternoon all :)
hi mrp! How are you these days? I haven't seen you in a long time!
hi nef! doing good thanks! long time no see! was looking forward to working tonight, but am rained out!
what kind of work?
soccer refereeing. Doing it three nights a week.
Wow! I bet you get your workouts that way.
indeed! but summer football is easier... smaller fields! I can do 5 games a night, rather than 2 games a day in winter!!
5 games a night? YIKES! Do you have to run up and down the fields in these games? (I've never watched a complete soccer game before...
Why would winter fields be bigger than summer fields?
I give up on this grid. 84 words left to find and I can't do it.
winter fields are 11 a side and 90 minutes... summer fields are 5 a side and 40 minutes.
okay, but why such a difference?
the fields are pretty much half the size of the large ones, and the ball is heavier and doesn't bounce well... it is really futsal rules I guess.
I guess the weather is the reason... it is too hot to run the distance or the time.
Oh! That makes sense!
84 left! you could do it!!
ANd you sometimes ref 5 games a night? What about the referee getting dehydrated?
In 20 minutes, mrp? I don't think so! :-)
we get a 4 minute break in between games! LOL!!
hey, that is 4 words a minute! but I understand why that might be hard... this grid was higglety-piggelty
ok help 7 left st8/45
4 minutes to rehydrate and go to the bathroom, etc? that's inhumane!
and the bathroom isn't close by!!
st8 man's name and opp of day
Wow!
oro, there isn't an st 8/45
as 8/45 sorry super tired
as + adverb+ 2 vowels
as + now & th**, + 1st and 3rd vowel.
I need to go pick up number 1 son... happy babbling with the next grid! happy flip time.
Bye mrp! You take care of yourself!
got one from mr thanks all
sa 8/40 only 10 mins and 6 more
oro, it's a type of cleaning
