ok...bye katie
good morning. I have 30 minutes to jump in!
Good morning ruby.
hello Sally!
What exciting things have you planned for today?
Good morning/evening all.
hello hello :)
Hello, hello, hello.
The European contingent is here!
hands across the water!
Hands across the wine would be more useful.
thats early, even for you sally!
toast, toast!!!
I'll keep it for later Ata.
LOL :)
Ata, I've been watching (for the first time) the repeats of Dr Who in iPlayer, with David Tennant. Someone (you?) said to watch them if the opportunity came up, and he's very good isn't he. I like Billie Piper too, such a lovely smile.
probably me or lynx or fm
It won't have been me.
The joys of sitting in bed watching on my iPad!!
anyone but haz lol
they don't have it on Fr TV as it probably doesn't translate well.....
DT is quite lovely
I've also discovered the joys of Shaun the Sheep, so am now a farming expert :-)
I don't think it translates too well into English either ruby
Anything that comes from Aardman is sprinkled with genius, I think.
hahah
loooool
Shaun the sheep...LOL
I am actually sitting in bed laughing out loud sometimes (at S the S, not DrW)
if my computer was in my bed, I would never get up!
good morning, zzoozz!
It isn't in the bed, ruby, on my knees!
Sorry, Hello, All :-)
Hi {{Ruby}}
Hi zoozz. Another Shaun the Sheep fan?
I watch TV in bed at night, as it's the only place warm enough
Sheep are strange creatures. They're either very much alive and healthy or dead. We hear constantly about sheep in the lambing season and then nothing for the rest of the year.
i have only seen, a few, that & bananas in pyjamas..lol
A bit like chickens, can be running around one minute, then zap!
Exactly, Sally. They don't linger, put it that way.
and they smell bad when dead
I don't know bananas in pyjamas! Shaun the Sheep is I assume being repeated, I have been watching them on iPlayer.
Although I do have a poorly hen that I keep thinking will be dead by morning, and out she comes, straight to the drinker and feeder ...
did you get all my messages, ata, you've saved the day!
:D:D
Cue smug...
Back shortly...
*smug*
this is such a nice grid!
roper

ty!
oops, sorry, any coffee in the pb?
RUBY!! WAKE UP!!
d'uh!
HI
as alan sugar would say your fi*** LOL
hello herin; did you dream of cows and chows?
Hello, Herin :-)
hahah
Well it did give me four words I hadn't yet got :-) So ty ruby
Nope
your welcome (blushing) sally
ok going shopping, bye for now.
there are many Fr words in this grid: pear, fair, fig, head, etc. Very funny
{{zzoozz}}
I took so many pics that I have flattened my battery
also crowd and king
making lunch and a plum tart now
see you much later
*poof*
Bye ruby. Enjoy!
bye ruby!
Bye Ruby
I can't help thinking that ruby will change her mind later on about the grid.
lol haz, I did wonder because I am finding it a hard one.
It's got some very strange words.
very funny inceident the other day
hobbit met a hamster
What fun - the pi5/16 is a Russian pie. mkg will be thrilled. She's very keen on foreign words.
guess who was more traumatised?
Just looking for that one atm, Haz.
Hobbit. Hamsters are fearless.
yep!!
she barked at it and ran away
And qu5/20 is the Peruvian version of a knotted handkerchief. I rest my case.
the hamster remained asleep
oh, mkg will looooove this
Was pleased to guess the fi 8 - not a word in use in UK (there's a change, then!)
sigh
ty sally
gu7/44 - because some are more saliva-challenged than others.
You're kidding? Rushes off to try.
I kid you not.
Faints. It works.
Gu4/8 - I know!
What's more, if the letters were there, you could be superlatively saliva challenged.
Found two others as a result of that, too, leading off the gu 4/8
LOTS of swallowing.
Anyway, I must be off to gu4/8 down some coffee with a friend. The key to this grid is to suspend disbelief and go for it!
Bye for now!
I got to play with lots of dogs today
bye dear!
awww lucky you
Bye Haz.
Ata I am putting up pics now.
On FB
My poor darling b.f just had me rant at the tv
why?
Because of the RSPCA and their crap attitude
Finally got a pic of me not looking crap: http://tinyurl.com/2atsfzo
Hello everyone
Lynxx My friend is on that Weddings show
the Farmer wants a wife?
No the Four Weddings
is that copied off the UK show, they all attend each others weddings and judge it?
Yes
good luck to her/him
That Tinyurl is me not looking crap
nice photo, nice dog too
Thanks
THat is Gloria she was a death row dog.
from Gracie Street?
No. From Mildura
She is at Pets Haven. If she isn't already adopted
You know my hairdresser has been trying to find a dog for his daughter for ages and has had zero luck at the pounds, has sort of given up. I will let him know about Pets Haven
Thank you Lynxx they do have all sorts of dogs
and cats
Gloria is pretty because I spent about 5 friggen hours grooming here
her
she's gorgeous!
Ata she is a Maltese x dumped at the pound 8 days and she would have been gone today
awwww :(
Her doggy butt was a bit matted
She may have a new home so yah. I did spend $40 on cleaning stuff for her and my kitties today
hi and nbt
I bet ...
hi Ata & Josh
I spent sooooooo long brushing her. Good dog. Bomb proof temperament. Loved everyone and big dogs. She was the poster child for well behaved. The rescue Grey hounds loved her
Hi Josh
Ata I bought Wet dry shampoo as Gloria had stitches and couldn't be bathed but she needed it as she was so grotty.
awwwwww
What were the stitches for herin? Just the usual snippety-snip or had she been in an accident?
She had dags on her butt. So she got a bit of a bad hair cut but it is done. I did it and she seemed so light.
Snippity Snip Sally
YAH my friends wedding on TV
hi all
hi jmc
morning jmc

Thanks JM
hmmm i can see this grid is going to be struggle for me
wow I got a word, got to 88 and totally slowed down
its not easy
i am going great guns at the bottom but got nothing at the top
Well I've got there with a struggle and the aid of lickety and total suspension of disbelief at some of the words. Does anyone need any clues before I go and try to look as if I've been busy all morning?
alt spelling of eskimo house
Congrats Sally!
i will take a clue for any of the words at the top but the i that lynxx just clued
Yah Sally
and whoo hoo sally!
wow sally!
4 og words to do leering
re 6/36: place of safety. re 7/52: someone who might go to such a place.
ah lynxx you are a saint
ty ty sally
er4.6 therefore
of course now i think i should have seen all those words!
ty lynxx
Right, well that's your top row done!
ty ty amazing what a sense of accomplishment that gives me!
amazing and irrational
And don't forget there are FIVE words to do with swallowing.
right behind sally with fireworks
Mind where you put that rocket then!
oh? only have 3 so far will get the last two now
Congrats Josh!!
whoo hoo joshua
i will vouch for some odd ones in this grid
thanks for the 5 swallowing words Sally, had them all but the root! LOL
morning all
morning Kalia
I do that frequently Kallia :-)
And good morning, and goodbye to all.
oh me too...my brain seems to skip over it and go for the longer ones
bye sally and congrats

ty though i had not gone down that road! :-)
lol
what do you think of Lady Gaga's little foray into helping abandon prejudice in the army, jmc?
sorry haven't heard about it
should i google it?
Sorry I was actually watching friends on tv
she's been at some rally for abandoning the don't ask don't tell policy. saying that prejudiced soldiers should be sent home, not gay ones
i like the group she is working with
good for her
I like that Idea Ata
the service members legal defense network was founded to monitor DADT
foier
they refer people to us but are somewhat baffled by our attitude that a less than wonderful discharge is better than no discharge
good, I was hoping it would be a positive thing - you know how celebrity endorsement can backfire sometimes!
i tried that one alem
well I am not sure that it will affect things one way or another
tx jmcnrick. forgot to click back in the other spot. sorry everyone
well true, ok, at least not a negative effect!
most younger people are indifferent to other peoples sexual preference and do get what the deal is
and the policy is on its way out within a year or less no matter what
np alem i do that all the time!
I have a gay son who is in the army
news here was saying that mccain will block its abandonment?
My high school wanted my bestest friend to apologise to the teacher for inappropriate out burst when the class was being homophobic
did you get a peek at the NYT article featuring me about the issue?
he cant really
good!
noooo!
it was a president proclamation by clinton
let me see if i can still find the link
ty
so the point is that obama can end it by proclamation -- but he's trying to bring other people along with him
Gloria dog got adopted YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ah ok
http://tinyurl.com/2cu7ahk it may take you to an ad first but you can click through it
wtg herin!
I am so happy I could cry

It is. It is so great that after a crappy start she is adopted
ooooo! fab article Je!!
i liked it

but the reporter and i hit it off
good afternoon all
it makes you sound very wise and caring
hi sprite
hi jmc!
did you get my message about an icon theme?
hi spritey!
i was annoyed she quoted me with a grammatical which i never make
hi Ata :)
let me check
what are those animals ata?
Have a new pic: http://tinyurl.com/2b5y6zj
lol I always get mails from people with their real names and they almost never say their babble name. Is this the theme: My most surprising relative/ancestor?
phantom: teleport
yes -- but my email is my babble name! lol
help with the e singleton in the second column please
oh now I see. It had your full name as 'sender' in outlook express. Yes, got your mail and am putting it in now, on Oct 13. Ok?
great!
Sprite did you like the pic?

sigh that would give me nbt
was putting in the icon theme, lady, hold on, am looking now
i know herin doesn't know she is too busy playing with photos of dogs!lol
hello everybody. I'm back and plum tart is in the oven. Our friend is arriving from SA this afternoon and we're making assorted appetizers, roast leg of lamb (marinated and cooked on a spit), flageolets, boiled potatoes and, of course, the plum tart
good pic, lady!
good news about the dog, herin!
sounds lovely ruby
hi rubyfoo, I will be over for lunch/dinner then
there is enough lamb to feed about 12!

small pale green beans, nicer than limas but similar, and perfect (and traditional) with boiled potatoes and roast lamb
*poof*
Sprite : http://tinyurl.com/2evthfz how can one not love this face.
and, of course, gravy.
bye bye jmc
off to the airport, see you later!
*poof*
bye bye ruby
aw such a sweet licorice nose!
bye ruby
That is a cute face, herin. Is that the dog your friend just adopted?
Sprite she was a kill shelter death row inmate. She just got adopted. I could cry
Bye Ruby Hi Nono
oopps Nonnie (wrong one)
heartbreaking
no problem, herin
we had another family craziness issue... my father, who claims to have a cordial relation with my sister, had not spoken to her for a year.
day before her birthday he just came by, to congratulate her, talked only about himself and left again.
YAH hit a trifector. 3 Cats in a row now adopted
she was totally flabbergasted!
Sounds sort of like my father, sprite!
Wow Sprite
my psychiatrist says, from his letters and behaviour, that he has a narcissistic personality disorder. I think she is right! Nonnie, don't they just make us stare at them and wonder?
no explanation for ignoring her for a year, AND his grandchildren... the man is mad.
Yep. I'm continually dreading the things he may say or do and thing shake my head in amazement when he does those things.
How many kids bros and sisters in your family, sprite?
I have kicked him out of my life for years, am now back to corresponding... but seriously considering cutting him off again. This will never get any better.
Sprite: http://tinyurl.com/24r9659 Before clipping pic
It is just me and my sister. We both have 2 kids.
Sprite you need to do what is best for you and your health and your family
That has to make is so very difficult. There were 6 of us and I am the one who is "on the list" in my father's book.
good morning all....
hello carlee
hi carlee
ok...u know a grid is bad when u stare at it for a moment or two and u see NOTHING
Hi Carlee.
Sprite have you seen Gloria with hair?
oh..there is a word...who KNEW?!?!?!?!
yeah, being on the list isn't such a great thing. Especially not when he still is able to make you dread his behaviour. My sister didn't like this at all.
also cute, but very very furry
lol carlee, true!
Yep
morning all! left row done
er column
I agree with you. My father is 80. He is in therapy, group and individual and I see no progress. In fact he denies the things he does and says. The best people like us can do, sprite, is protect ourselves and our children. In other words, learn to realize it is them with the disorder and not us! Good luck to you, sprite.
Hi Dan
wow dan2bit, you are on a roll! :D
good morning dan :o)
I like to celebrate my small accomplishments :-)
and to you too, Nonnie. It is hard to realise you are the healthy one, isn't it, while all your life you have learned you were the one in the wrong. But we can and will learn.
i have the left column done now too...
I like you doing it, dan2, and making me smile :)
took longer then dan tho
its a horrible feeling that sprite..been there...done that....growing up with my relationship with my dad..then 20 years with my husband
It is difficult. I am at 54 trying to break "old habits". :o)
I had a fantastic day knowing that my cuddle mutt is going to a good home
(((carlee))) I feel for you!
before my father left my sister's house, he managed to get out a disparaging remark on my letters. He really has not changed a bit in the last 14 years.
its why i quit my job at the lawyers...it was "too soon" having to deal with that shit yet again...even though i was familiar...it just hit too close to the core to be healthy at this point in my life
oh carlee, how awful. Must be a tough job, getting yourself back together after that.
*hugs the lady* Am happy you are so happy, hun.
its called suck it up sprite....too many good things in my life to worry about the bad
I am surprised he showed in person but then again, that would fit into the "me me me" syndrome he suffers from, I suppose.
Nonnie, I am 44 and it sucks. But I am positive we will make it. Because we are the ones learning, changing and healing. We are in charge.
i find myself falling into that now...and i have to constantly "check"myself as i was denied "me" for so long and "me" is a really nice feeling...could become addictive
it is the me-me-me thing, and his need to have a perfect self-image, and his conviction he is a gift to mankind, and therefore my sister is supposed to be forever grateful he actually CAME!
I ahve a moto Don';t like me for who I am stuff you. Also if you can't love me for who I am same applies even if they are a parent and that I can only imagine hurts
Yes, we are! You know I try to focus on the example we set for our children and hope that from something terrible some good will come from it.
and its hard sprite....but each time you do that...you feel a little bit better and each time gets a little easier
carlee, coming from the 'me? who do you mean', you don't really run the risk of becoming 'me-me-me'. You may manage to get there for a while, but like the pendulum of a clock, you will move back a bit and find more balanve.
balance* even
It does herin. That "parent-child" relationship is such a tricky one.
i rather avoid the swing at all sprite...cus being on the receiving end of me feels like shit....i dont want to make someoneelse be on that receiving end
the parents are the ones who built in all the triggers... of guilt, of shame, name it. So they are the ones who can trigger us the best, alas.
I know what you mean, carlee. But I really think you don't have to worry. Like me, you are probably very sensitive to the ME thing, and when you think you are too much involved with yourself, you probably aren't. Just getting in the realm of 'enough me'.
It has been nice chatting with you ladies. Sprite, take care and I hope you and your sister stay strong and support one another through this. Carlee, you hang in there. I have to head to work and if I sit here much longer I'll be late one more time! Bye bye
( ok...is it ME...or does this grid really really...really stink?)
later nonnie
bye Nonnie, thanks for the chat and all the best to you. Take care of you and yours :)
nonnie even*
haven't really played the grid yet, lol. But it looks like it is a stinker, carlee.
stupid selfish grid even refuses to share its Lego.
i've already gone to the list...
and I am not seeing anything
I am not even halfway
ok..got 4 words...all with same root....have no idea what they are....and...right now...dont care either

morning EvaN!
how is our bride-to-be today?
chilly and sniffly, but otherwise good. :)
EVAAAAAAAAAAA
hello, hello. :)
awww sweetie, get rid of those bugs, you need to be radiantly healthy soon!
eh, just allergies, methinks. the weather here is still fighting the start of fall, so the temp has been a bit roller-coaster-y... it was 58F as i walked to the bus this morning, but it will be a high of about 90 tomorrow!
ouch, unhealthy weather. Well, quit being allergic then. no sniffles allowed!
heh, i shall try. ;)
trying to be oh-so-good and not pick at my nails or my spots too much. its an unconscious habit regularly, but dear fiance has pointed out that i have been doing so more than usual lately!
bandages. I recommand bandages. All around the fingers, all around the face. The mummy look is good to keep from picking.
recommend*!
hah, not a bad idea. if i cant reach the skin, i cant ruin it!
and finally, i have a prescription from the Dr for the rashes on my ankles. only been using a few days, but it seems to be helping!
oh great, EvaN!
keeping my fingers crossed that this does the trick. so far it hast improved the LOOK of the rash, but it hasnt itched since i have started using it, so hopefully the appearance will fade away...
usually, getting rid of the itch is the hardest part. Sounds like you have a good med.
i hope so!
i feel like i can finally say the wedding is coming together... only 32 days to go, so i sure hope so!!
Morning babblers!
it is coming close!
still lots of details to work out, but thats all it is -- details. the big stuff is finally done!
hi red :)
mornin red!
Epps sorry I am so rude I think I just fell asleep sort of
sounds like some good news going on about rashes! Hi herin.
Hi red
you weren't rude, hun. And being tired is allowed ;)
Bio Oil is good for skin healing so is Shea butter
yes, we are hoping so, red!
Arnica is good for healing (but can dry out skin)
Hi Annie!!
Tea Tree oil too, but I think I'd stick to the prescription.
I meant after the doc drugs are done. They bring down healing.
um scaring
yes, i tried a few OTC ideas, and none helped. doc did a biopsy (finally got my stitches out) and this is her course of action...
um redness (don't mind me my brain is dead)
What did you do Eva?
not sure, herin. just randomly had a rash appear on my ankles that never fully went away.
darn, we are getting an unexpected dinner guest tonight. House is a mess, and so am I, darn doggone tired.
interesting.
put the coffee on xtra strong..and kick into whirlwind mode sprite
15 min at a time Sprite it is the best. Go in to the loo clean it and the shower and sink leave and sit for a bit
can't do, carlee, my body will not allow me.
then..that 15 min thing sprite
hm, good idea, lady, at least I can do the loo and get some kind of order in the living room.
ok, back in 15 minutes, after cleaning the downstairs toilet. Thanks girls :)
ugh....ig4 is stoopid
yes it is, Carlee
Sprite don't get all flusted about it
we just got a black and decker "scum buster" as a wedding shower gift, and i gotta say, i cant wait to try it out. if it does what it claims, it will make cleaning the loo a snap!
very cool evan
you can visit any time Evel
dear fiance is actually good about cleaning the house (he usually does the dishes and laundry, vaccuuming and tidying) but he NEVER cleans the loo, despite making most of the mess in it. hopefully this little thing lives up to its promise!
Can i borrow him Eva. i have a domestic challenged partner
heh he used to be rather domestic-challenged. when i first moved in with him, i was more the cleaner, as it was like moving into a frat house. but somewhere along the way, he became addicted to the cleanliness i provided -- and when i got lazy and stopped picking up after him, he started doing it himself! now im kinda the lazy useless one... eep!
Mine can't even be arsed throwing clothes in the hamper a foot away from the bed
morning all
back... loo clean, part of the living room tidied.

Quirrel

ding ding ding!
damn, and i am a fan as well..lol
zooz: answers to "name that proper noun!" will always be found in the grid.
oh i see, i will remeber that for next time :-)
remember*
:)
took me a bit to think of a three letter britt word for annoying person..had to ask the wife,she is a harry potter junkie
lol, glad you got there Crossy :-)
lo,did indeed just in a roundabout way
My mother, is in love with her sony reader by the way Crossy, cannot get enough of it.
and over here we are stating to get roundabouts on our roads...damn annoying things if you ask me
i am glad she loves it zooz;)
so are road bumps..lol
i would be lost without my e-reader as well
or speed bumps i should say.
i still prefer books myself, but i must admit, the reader is very good on the eyes.
crossy! just the guy I need to ask a question!
zooz,a bit of a hint when down loading books from the net. if the file is in pdf,leave it in pdf,if it is in a open format like html,or firefox doccument there is a great file conversion programme called calibre.use it to convert open formats to e-pub
yes welki?
you have a Sony reader, right?
i have a sony and a nook reader
Thanks Croosy will pass the message on to my mother.
(seems like i popped in at just the right time and topic)
Crossy*
indeed welki
i have a friend who's recently purchased a Sony Touch (I don't have a reader, not familiar with any of it) ... is there a place other than the Sony site to download books?
yes indeed welki
for some reason, she thought that because i'm a geek, i'd know ... but i told her i'd ask the "source"
start at gutenberg.net
one sec ill get some other sites for u
terrific! thanks!
http://www.free-ebooks.net/
now i have not used that one myself
but i have used gutenberg many times and it is great
and i also am a bit of a pirate and torrent the odd book
but start with those 2 sites,they are freeware and legal,there are many others if she gets bored
<-- would not suggest that to her friend, a sheriff
lol
laws differ in various places
so use those 2 for now
thanks .. will go tell her right now :) later!
and for your friend,if it is in pdf,leave it in pdf,if it is a html or open doccument,use calbre to convert to e-pub
sony is great for pdf,s anyways cause it not only has the portrait mode but also the landscape mode for readability
Good day, my dear babble friends!
howdy trif;))
whoa .. she's not an e-tech ... will leave the specialties for later
http://calibre-ebook.com/
dratted P's and G's and R's
Hello, Trif :-)

i found 5 words from the GU4 Haz, if thats any help
Hurshy, sorry
it is freeware,but it is the best and is so much better than any other conversion program out there that i send a 20 dollar donation to the guy who made it
nm ... i see ..shareware
whats the matter with me today..lol
thanks again ... 'see' you later :)
but yes welki,it is free
how do you spell lugie?

forgive me--- i have had ENTIRELY too much coffee today
in my book, any coffee is entirely too much... i hate the smell and everything, which most people don't, even if they don't drink it
I had one big cup this morning, which I never normally do. Dunkin Donuts is a having a fundraiser for alzheimers today, so I brought a box of donuts and a box of joe into work.....and had a big sugary donut and a cup of coffee first thing. I feel like I need to eat an entire lemon or something, to counteract....
fu5 a former US copper coin worth one dollar
bother.

The thing that's on the end of an electrical lead to make it work

Is it me or is this grid truly nasty??
we had a really nice time... met her daughter and we had a wonderful talk.. it is amazing but I think all of us have so much in common and there is lots to talk about
it is... challenging, erda
I will be a sweet old lady.... I am saving up
expelling is more like it

i have a cat on my right wrist
she looks adorable
which one, dc?
yay, she went away, some flying insect
which one? Oh, cat. I only have one now, the brown tabby Feldspar; jasper died a year ago July.
didn't you have a alabaster too
he lives with my sister, as tom was VERY allergic to him and his beautiful, beautiful white coat that stuck to EVERYTHING
interesting - are the others short haired or something?
alabaster is doing well in his home, and even deals gracefully with the four-year-old
i'd had jasper since 93, and feldsy predates him, though both short hairs, and her hair easily vacuums/wipes off everything
ahh, laundry calls...happy babbling
njoy ormal

Hi zooz. I am perplexed looking at the clues for the annoying person. My vocab for those people is probably not Bable-worthy....
hi tc
greetings all
if you take off the first e it's a slang word for legal sood
at least it is over here
Gottit, thanks. And I know plenty of them.....
oh that was horrible... a small plane just went over head, but as it was approaching, it got louder & louder then very loud, thought it was going to crash into the house, it must of been very low.
yikes zooz !!!
bloody pilot must be drunk..lol
Oh no.... Now thats terrifying.
i was going to call him a three letter word..lol
I'd opt for a four letter one I think
Rofl....
LOL, i did to be honest a few of them at that.
funny story when we lived in Texas near a navy air training base our washing machine was insured against falling aircraft
came with the purchase agreement
no way...LOL
Did you ever have to claim, West?
luckily I did not lol
stuuf the rest of the building & yourselves..just mind the washing machine..lol
that's what we were thinking
it was a Maytag had it for 20 years then passed it down to our daughter
Well made then!
I could live without a dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, microwave etc... I couldn't do without a washing machine.
isn't that the truth sood
you could get a Mangle Soodle..LOL
my mil had one of those
How in heaven's name did people live without them? My grandmother had 15 (yes 15) children, and no washing machine.
God Bless Her
easy, don`t wear any clothes..LOL
Ha! My dad was the eldest of the 15, my mother had 10 siblings. I have over 100 first cousins!!
Christmas must be amazing !!
hate to see your christmas list soodle.
Thank goodness TV was invented, otherwise I would probably have had 10 -15 kids...
oh the more the merrier
does everyone still live nearby?
hope you can remember all their names..lol
Scattered far and wide West. And theres a heap of first cousins I have never met. I have found a good few on Facebook. Its amazing.
Ok time for me to rest on the sofa & watch tv, take care all, have a wonderful, lobster meal Westford :-)
Take care, Zooz {{{{}}}}
thanks zooz wish you were here so I could share
Are you dining at home, or going out, Westford?
we have a lobsterman just down the street so we are getting them from him..and he cooks them too
We'll celebrate this weekend when our granddaughter and her boyfriend come for a visit
Oooh how lovely. I have to say, lobster is my all-time favorite food.
mine too !!
although my 2nd favorite would have to be an Irish breakfast
re
Mmmm. Irish breakfasts are lovely, but murder on the waistline....
re
re
Hello Inge.
we were in Ireland about 10 years ago and every one was better than the last..do you always eat like that every morning?
and should I say Eire?
I wish!!! In my house, Sunday morning is Irish breakfast day. If we ate like that every morning, we would be ginormous!!
the sausages are out of this world
Did you enjoy your trip to Ireland, West?
oh yes so much
we were in London for meetings and took the train through Wales and then the ferry over
I heard recently that theres a company now who will export the 'makings' of a full Irish overseas..... I'm not sure how they could ensure freshenss, though.
we stayed in Raheeny? and rented a car and toured all over
That was a good idea, to work
I'd rather come again and eat them
Oh? Raheny is just up the road from where I grew up.. My first boyfriend came from Raheny!!
hello hello. houseguest!!!!
I might add, my first boyfriend, with whom I have recently hooked up with on Facebook.
his last name wasn't Ennis was it?
hi ruby !!
Ruby!! Westford was in Ireland, and stayed in the neighbourhood Paddy lives in....... (Ruby has been following the saga of Paddy & Soodle, West)
isn't it a small world?
No, his name's not Ennis, but I know Ennis's in Raheny.... how mad is that?
ooooh, Irish breaqkfaqst! I'm a big (although very small, actually), Irish breakfast person

I am soooo tired and tired of husband! Don't tell him.
is he healing okay?
I'll even do the dishes
why did that happen twice? Boring Ruby!
Deal! Is he still annoying you, Rubes?
because you really meant it lol
he is healing, sort of, but I don't really know (or really care, unfortunately), what's going on with him.
To be sure, to be sure....
he is probably tired of hurting
hi all in and out as usual
his birthday is the 30th and he is not looking forward to it.
he needs a new hobby
still haven't gotten the el6/24 :-(
I think Ruby needs a new hubby....
jmc e and slang for legal..you should know that one
His bites don't hurt but his back, from where he fell when the dog toodk him down, is very painful. And he refuses to rest or let me massage the sore part.

hi all, and my phantom is . . . wait a sec . . .
......holding breath....
.....turning purple....
*tickles soodle*
....gasps.....
its not good to turn purple
nope, sorry, haven't snagged a good phantom yet!
I agree. Not a good look at all...
<===learned from Willy Wonka
A lot of wisdom has been gleaned from the great Willy Wonka.
Phantom telephone poles.
the grid would be really crowded with telephone poles
Don't ask me why- it was the first thing I "saw" this morning on the grid.
I can see telegraph poles
*pulls out chain saw*
okay i just found a pirfet phantom
yes?
um, pirfet
Bungles of ironing to be done. I better go and do it. Bye everybody. See you all soon.
okay a badly spelled phantom
pirfet? what is pirfet?
oh *rolls eyes*
well, my brain aint . . . LOL
igoe
OOPS
careful kap!
np kap
look for something cold
very very cold
I wouldn't have spelled it that way...
too true
i still need help with the el6/24 from the e in the second column
aha, lugie
i think we should get points for reaching nbt
tempus fugit.
el6 is e + something that is legal and above board (kind of slang)
but it doesn't work with de.
i think that has two Gs book
well, i have appointmets, gotta fly, POINK
yes, le5 with one G, then for the el6, stick an e on the front. POINK
yeah, that works.
oh! ty book!
whew! nbt
Tempus fugit!
no the two Gs referred to luggie
is that your phantom kap or are you trying to make a point?
Not sure.
oh, Fugit.
Tom Delay was a jerk, but I always wanted to see if he sent out an announcement when his child was born...
same to you :-P
saying "There has been a little DeLay..."
OK, I see that went over real well.
Damn telephone poles.
lol sorry i stepped away to actually work
Work?
yes maynard i sometimes have to work
:)
hey all
de7/36 pls
hi peri
sorry don't have it yet
ok
de7= remove
ty kipas
pled
sorry, I forgot to de7 my next word.
hmm found a de6 remove
np kipas

de7= use up. Put another consonant in the de6.
de 7 - make less add consonent to de 6
ty ty
go it now
everyone okay - been very tired and busy lately so been lurking
glad you dropped in
hope it was nice buzy
not really but just stuff like washing after holidays - when i win the lottery i am never going to wash clothes after a holiday again
washing clothes for 10 days for 3 people is urgh
yuck
they can't chip in and help?
too be fair i rarely wash clothes
yeah we normally have a chalet with a washing machine and i just do it through the week and you dont notice it then
my hubby did it until he died and i have had a housekeeper for whom it is the principal thing I ask her to do
but all together its gross - 20 pais of socks that we have been walking miles in - pooo
*puts clothes pin on nose*
Ha Ha - yeah - even i had a problem - I have stinky feet so I can cope with quite a lot - but not 25 pairs
how many
25 - 3 people 10 days (didnt walk every day and i dont wear socks with sandals - no matter what they say aboyut metmen)
161
my boy has some of the stinkiest fe** ever
oops sorry socks on the brain
lol
is there a gr?
my brotherwas worse than me - mum made him wash his feet in the garage before in came in from work and then straight into the showers before she would feedhim
lol
got to check for mail (in hopes of their being checks) brb
dont know about the gr
back what a wasted trip down and up 3 flights of stairs
no gr
ty jess
yw
yay 1/2 way
Hello...
hi jell
No checks in the mail?
none :-(
i need enough money to send out an end of the year appeal too
Think of it as exercise, then...
I hate august and september
Hello
Bad fundraising months?
Hi, lynxxx!
lol i assure you on tuesdays when i work out in the morning before work those stairs are extra tall!
hi lynxxx
very bad -- no one contributes in august and very few in september
I guess that makes sense...
why?
on vacation and going back to school is part of it
I would guess most donations come in December, don't they?
for others it is because they are dependent on the people who are on vacation or going back to school and they don't have any extra themselves
December/January with another flurry around tax day
I see
and during elections there is less -- especially presidential elections
it was a lot easier raising money by working for it and get paid
Sober thoughts...
sorry don't mean to be a downer
*puts on tutu and twirls*
Just wish I could help...
That's OK
no, really, you don't have to go that far
not a problem I appreciate people listening to me whine!
*leaps a few times*
Don't hurt yourself!
*no room to leap anywhere in my house*
*blows hard* well that is probably enough of that!
*curtsies and sits down*
Bravo, bravo!
You still have Tims brother house sharing with you Jellen?
ty ty
Oh no, lynxxx...he left 2 days after Tim died...
Sure could use him this week...I need to start moving things into the store building...
oh that's sad, he sounded like he would have been good company
so you are going ahead with the store?
The shop is happening?
He just felt awkward being here...
oh. . .
No, but we'll have an auction in the building...
well that will take a while
I need to move stuff out of the house, garage, and three storage units...
. . . quite a while!
I'll say
reading back on donations to charities etc.we live in toursit country and the second the kids go back to school our store net sales drop 55%...then we hang on by the skin of our teeth till the snow flies and we get the skiers up here on blue mtn
I think I have the potential power of the local college baseball team to help me move...need to call to set it up...
i bet crossy
hi Cross
Hi, crossy!

de7/36 anyone
Hi, peri!
de7 to run low on something, water/supplies etc
hi Pe**
hello peri
oh oh to the PB with me
or do I get amnesty? lol
or de7, add a cons into the de6.21 meaning to rub out
if you say a babblers name in the log you do not need to go to the PB!!
birthday amnesty
thank you
even tho we're serving bacon ice cubes??
lol kalyn
ty lyn but not getting it or the de6/21 after it :(
the de6.21 is before it, rub out, erase, omit etc
if u don't like something on the internet you de6 it
when typing you save often..you don't want the comp to de6/21 your work
de7 de & what you put food on to serve/eat - change the first vowel
and if you exhaust all your supplies u de.6 them
I have that de621, I don't have the 2nd de6/21 or the de7/36
to use up supplies of something.. add a consonant to the middle of de6/21
de6/21 is a movie f..... bullers day off
change the f to a d of course
ty Joanne

ty jacq
yw
both great clues
just came back from boning a chucken lol good timing
lucky for us..what are you going to make?
not sure yet, i have lamb that needs to be cooked too, so tomorrow will be a cooking fest
I just found an old recipe for hot chicken salad I'll post it in my profile
the pitfalls of letting a man do the shop means they don't check expiry dates lol
it's really yummy
mmmmm yes please
love salad
lol jacq I think my mother asked my father once..he came back with all kinds of exotic goodies and not one thing on the list
got it ty jacq
west you know that mint growing in your yard will take it over don't you?
LOL west, sounds expensive
yw matches
oh gee I hope not..we're not back there yet..looks like we'll have to make lots of mint juleps
it really spreads
but if you put it in a pot it can be contained
I have lilies of the valley that do that now
thanks jacq I will do that
they removed part of a fence and found it
same with lilly of the valley, put some ina pot
our yard was so overgrown can't seem to get rid of half
those roots go down to middle earth
lolololol
sorry was updating my profile to match my icon lol
not liking the g's
I was gone too. Copying the recipe. I'll put it in my profile now
ty ty ty
fu 5/22?
i don't have a single fu, sorry
1 have 1,, the other is like impossible lol thanks tho
looking cos
i have the one that sounds like the brass instrument
sounds like what they play Taps on
i have that one
oh that's the one I have too
another is a past tense of that
if i find it ill let u know! :)
I have that too what are the stats of the one you need cos?
fu 5/22
likewose
likewose likewise too
thanks jacq!
oh I see fu 5/22
yea i have the other 2
i got it!
I'm having fun looking for it lol
wtg cos..now help me please
its a design of a penny
i had to look up the definition cause i monkeyed it
fu + constantant + 2 vowels
thank you got it now
yw
the things I learn in here
lol i know right
fugio
stupid cursor
sorry and thanks
that's okay jacq we have it lol
aww
PB time!
reminds me of a Bob Dylan song
will go to the pb and suck the chicken bones lol
lol enjoy!
the salad recipe sounds delicious west, ty have copied it
I have never attempted to bone my own chicken do you do it when it's raw?
wow that does sound good.. im printing it!
I know you'll enjoy it jacq
and cos
not tonight, tonight i cooked it, but usually yes, i have an old boning knife and it's been sharpened so many times the blade is super thin
thanks for sharing!
i've had the knife since i was 17 and stabbed myself in the arm accidentally with it
i can't say the chicken looks pretty when i'm done but it saves me getting bored lol
yw thank jacq for mentioning chicken
jacq do you make soup with the bones?
yes, always, usually proper broth with pulses but sometimes just a vegetable soup
i was told i cook the old fashioned way, i always use bones for stock making
home made soup it the best
i don't eat any other kind of soup, only ever home made
is*
i once made veggie soup..ended up too thick so i made it into stew instead
my mother always made her own soup I still can't get mine to taste like hers
there you go cos
no soup ever tastes like mums soup
love my crockpot
i keep trying to make my grandma's recipes.. i follow it to the detail but its never as good..
I think they always added a cup of love
yes..
even when she had alzheimers late stage she would still make it perfectly
I wonder if Campbell's is listening in
oh that's so encouraging cos
if they don't add some knuckle and a bit of finger too lol
i think the meat and veggies they used were tastier, not messed about with
you're right about that jacq and so much of it home grown
no steroids in the meat and few antibiotics, not so many pesticides and not forced veggies
everything was local now they have to produce in such quantity and keep things from going bad
so many of the small family owned farms are going down the tubes
unfortunately it is the curse of becoming a global market, we are too dependant on other countries when we should be encouraging farmers to produce good quality produce on local level, we are so interconnected that a bad harvest in one country affects everyone everywhere, just like the economy
truer words were never spoken
history repeats itself, just look at the roman empire
wow almost midnight here, time for bed, have fun and fireworks everyone
and we never learn do we?
no we never learn
sleep well jacq and thanks for the mint hint
is a scary idea and concept and possibility
bye, thanks for the recipe
yw hope you enjoy it

lower schools have already started here...the uni starts on monday
Hi bugs and pini, good to see you both. Just starting.
hey stidg ;)
Hello gmere. I am enjoying this grid.
No aes on this grid, I miss them. Cut to the chase, demand de words!
* giggle *
need 3 for nbt...
I think with school back in play, my brain might fry itself more often until graduation :/
I usually leave most of the de and re words till last and then put them on the front of the words I found. I found a huge amount that way.
clever, bugs!
I still need 3 for nbt too
Good strategy bugs. I shall move off to the next group of words.
col 2 = I and E; col 5 = G ?
the g words begin go and gu
I need the other 2 as well
NOPE they are both go sorry
go 6/24 more blood and guts
I have 9/18 from the 2nd col G...nothing from col 5 G
now I do! thx luv!
yw Pini

Hello Babble Friends....coming to you live from a hospital in western washingtong following the marvelous birth of granddaughter Paige Joelle at 1:34 a.m. PST!!!
congratulations! mcurl
This is the 21st. Congrats, earlier than I remember she was to be born. What a day you have had!!!
YEAH!!!!! congrats, mcurl!!!
Congratulations Granny mcurl ! Is she the most beautiful girl in the world?
WOOHOOO McCurl!!!! Congrats!!!
she was due the 15th and scheduled to be induced on the 22nd!!!
didn't want to face the Pit Drip, eh?
I have a few pictures up on my facebook but that's it
don't use that anymore unless indicated---
Much better without the pit drip
woot woot...will have to go look ;)
they use an oral medication (designed for treatment of ulcers) which contains an enzyme that starts labor! Labor and Delivery took 6 hours !!! That's my idea of a great birth---I did that as well.
g'd'evenin babblers!
^5 mcurl...me, too!!! and both my GK were also abt 6 hrs
hi eva
how are we this evening?
* gasp * mcurl...we're not FB friends???

Dang, dc...that's a bunch!
Congratulations on the Baby news!
11111 is the number dan2 posted. i was agog -- i'm only at 1125
hehe
i totally get how you got there, Dan. i go through and delete unreads periodically. In April, i was down to 100!
I just don't archive enough
do you use filters?
be back in a bit
hasta, annie
Hello...
hi, jellen
Hi Jellen
I do have some filters - but mostly they apply labels
I just got home from a grief workshop/support group, so I'm a little drained, but thought I'd try to tackle the grid anyway!
yeah, that's all i do w/them too, dan
i'm glad you've found a group to work with, jellen
Yes, it seems to be a good program...offered through a local church
Hi Jellen!
Hi, car!
Does anyone have a different site for resizing photos other than resize2mail?
I have a BEAUTIFUL new pic of the boys I would like to share!
* sniffle * I can't find mcurl to FB :(
Jillibus has some info in her profile car.eeyore
I have a program at work...wonder if I can get the link from here...
let me know if you want me to look, sistah
If you can....I can't get onto the resize2mail website.
ok...gimme a cpl minutes...
brb
pini try my e-mail---dmcurl@hotmail.com
found you, mcurl!
I just sent you a friend request, mcurl..
I found a different site...does anyone happen to know what the correct size for our icon pics is?
Here's the resize program we use at work (free download): http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
i auto-resizes from flickr and most other sites i link to, so no
gimp rocks!
100 x 100 works well

Hello...haviing a late dinner...
hey jellen. stidkid #2 and tom are making our supper...
I hope to eat before I need to sleep...
I got out during my "window" for getting to the school on time today and got to the school LATE. later by nearly an hour from my normal time... before kids showed up but ten minutes after I should have been there.
how about you? long day? good day?
back ;)
hiya Jellen and stid!
front pini... *grin*
smartypants!
Pretty good day, I guess...went to a grief workshop/support group...
(((jellen))) was that helpful for you?
Yes, I think so...
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
I must say frozen dinners have come a long way!
Hi, Min
hi min ;)
they have jellen! i eat lean cuisines all the time, they are yummy
boy have they, jellen!
I'm eating an Amy's burrito dinner...
Does anyone have a clue for the el 6/24 word please?
e + mc hammer is too l**** to quit, min
I do not usually do this, but I will be asking for lots of clues. I hope you guys don't mind. I need to goto bed
e + P'daddy's, "Too L**** To Quit"
* snap * la
(oops, I had the wrong artist)
not at all, min!!!
hammer time pini! whoaaa oooo ooo oo whooaaaa oo ooooo ooo
Does anyone have a clue for the fe 6/30 word please?
like a bird-fe6 in your yard, min
fe4 + pt
STOP.
hammer time.
Actually, I need the first fe 6/30 word if you have it.
Min, fe6 = bird fe**** (dinner plate?)
I think re pl4/8 & de pl4/8 words should be accepted
Does anyone have a clue for the fe 6/27 word please?
just like the fe6/30 clued, just change the 4th letter
an antenna is a bug's fe****
Thank you for the fe 6/30 clue. I just found the word
Thank you for the fe 6/27 clue. I just found the word
Oh TOTAL fishes!My seepy eyes aren't seeing a thing
;)
yeah, when i get to that point you know what always helps me? one of min's great clue stories... oh wait...
So I'll punish myself by not asking for any more clues.
Evening all...may I please have a clue for de5-18 the first? thanks
oh, no, min...please ask!!!
Sorry, no clue story tonight. I'm so not near finished!
Don't punish yourself, Min! I need those words!
i'm just kidding min. you give us so many clues, please ask away.
peach, i'll de*** to the others to give you a clue for that one
de 5/18 means put off college loans if can't afford it.
Thanks LeslieAnn and Min.

Work has SO interrupted my babble life!NEVER finish grids during the week. Ranking will plummet from the summer, but I really do not care about the rankings.
May I please have a clue for any fu words? Thanks
same here, min...orientation started yesterday and classes start next monday...I may be too burned out to babble for the first term...
one rhymes with the boogie woogie bu*** boy from company b, peach
fu5/22 (2nd) = sounds like coronet, trumpet, bu***
then pt
fu5/22 (1st) = same first 3 as the other 2 + 2 vowels
Thanks much, Pini.
yw ;)
sorry I disappeared. elder stidkid is upset that I reminded him that he is NOT to be on the computer during the week unless he is doing schoolwork... He seems to think that continuing to do what he did last year will magically begin actually working. Facebook is NOT his friend!
uh oh...
magic occurred in Merlin's day, not sure it works today unless you live in Las Vegas :)
Hi stidmama! How are you? Welcome back to the grid
and then he has decided to "punish" me by telling me he won't share information with me anymore... *sigh*
(sorry stidkid)
it too shall pass, stid ;)
((stid))
Should I be able to figure out the fi 8/75?
How old is your elder stidkid Stidmama? I have nieces who are on FB and I believe they are too young for it
fi8/75:a compound word. Do you want more of a clue
yes, jellen ;)
No, thanks, just figured it out!
yes. it shall pass when he is living in some dank basement apartment with NO cable TV or internet and he has to eat top ramen because there are two more weeks until he gets his paycheck. *sigh*
that's where they live and learn, stid...and 'we' make it though...
(i.e., been there, done that, and my dau is doing well now)
elder stidkid is not mature enough to make wise choices about schoolwork vs. online fun... old enough to refuse to let his parents have information about the college classes he takes, young enough to have NO idea about how the real world works, etc. etc. etc.
thanks pini.
very similar to my eldest dau, stid...(as you may recall)...and, get this, she married earlier this month! * proud mama-in-law *
* keep the faith, little sis * ((hugs))
oh! pini, I completely FORGOT!!! *shameful little sister look* I wish them all happiness!
Oh, gosh, not at all...they're doing well and I'm pleased as punch! :)
Congrats to the couple, Pini! And to the mother of the bride!
* blush * thx, Jellen!
We need to have a shared calendar so we can keep up with all the cool Babbler events!
well, my eyes hurt a LOT. and I am tired and overwhelmed by the whole anger thing that always gets turned back on me. *sigh* So I think I am going to head to sleepy-land.
* smile * that'd be cool!
oh wait! jellen -- you said that the group seemed to be helpful. I am glad.
Take deep breaths, stid, and have a good sleep!
sleep soundly, stid!!! :)
it's really good to know you're not the only one with grief feelings (and anger/guilt/etc)
(don't take it personally, you're a strong parent)
Okay, this grid is a wash I am calling it a night.Adios!
(((hugs for jellen))) (((hugs for Min))) (((hugs for pini)))
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
Most of the participants are return members...
Adios, Min!
sleep welll, min ;)
((hugs for stid))
(((hugs and choclits for all who are still here))) *poof*

oh wait -- return members??? you mean they come regularly to weekly meetings?
33 left to go here...let's share, jellen! :)

don't have it yet :(
Yes, it's a 13 week program...they've been through it before...
de 4/8 + plural letter
i'll de*** to someone else to give you that clue jellen
I can only imagine that if they are "return" members, that the support received from the group meetings has really been helpful...
thx jellen
ah. I see. well then you will have good support. excellent
...that's very promising, yes, jellen?
Mostly older women, but I relate well to women that age...
