of course I 'd find that one
lol hi ru
hi ruru, knew you would. Were you watching NBC news tonight, about the new dinosaur?
hubby's mom had her first chemo treatment and did well... so glad the first one was positive... :~)
gaah clues only go to 12:27
you would ruru!
tr 6/21
(it was one of my first ones too! I think my comment was "ha ha ho7")
nice to hear dee I didn't realize she was ill
I know a lot about cooking for people doing chemo dee
glad to hear that, dee.
she was just diagnosed with nonHodgkins lymphoma... has a mass on her left collarbone that appeared out of the blue...
you're great, ruru xx
I may be asking you ru... no nauseau today...
lemme. know I have a lot of things that worked
i am missing one for nbt but i am out of here poof
really appreciate that ru; ty so much for offer!
oh dee she must have been petrified and you too
I may too -- have a friend recovering from cancer surgery but fighting an infection just now.
hubby took her and they both love their oncologist... he actually called her at home last night, since today was her first treatment and he had hospital call and wouldn't be there to see her... amazing...
what a caring thing to do
it has been unnerving west...
that's the support you need dee from the doctor.. sounds good
nbs
great doctor, dee
it was a great surprise, plus hubby told them my brother was a doctor, and we wanted to keep him apprised of what was going on... they gave Dan papers to fax to my brother... also amazing... relieved that she seems to be in good hands
new word for me ni 7/48
so many doctors are good at what they do but unfortunately forget to treat the spirit
not sure yet about that... will be interesting to see if he does... I agree west... huge part of healing
I'd say this one is there already
is anyone here from Pittsburg, PA?
he is at least friendly and concerned... 61 years old... last doc left of original group who started this practice, so he is definitely there because he thinks he can help
it sounds like she is in good hands
how many times will she have chemo do you know?
at this point, they are saying 4 chemo; new pet scan; then perhaps 2 more chemo and 2 radiation... chemo every 3 weeks
got io7
dee, that sounds pretty hard to take
ty jili... don't have that one yet
but worth it, I'm sure
we are praying only 4 are necessary... doc is hopeful that will be sufficient
I think nobody noticed that I have a friend recovering from cancer surgery who is still in hopital with an infection, possibly facing chemo too.
1/2way!!!!
wtg m9
I didn't jilli I'm sorry
She could use some positive vibes too...
wtg m9!
so sorry to hear jili
what kind of infection?
oh jilli.. that's hard!
post-op of some sort, west -- don't know.
what's her name?
Hr name is Tilly
that can be taken care of with antibiotics I think
So I can pray for her... although I'm sure if I say "jilli's friend" He'll know who I'm talking about!
ok.. thanks!
And thank YOU, m9
sweet name... short for Matilda?
She is a wonderful person, chairman ofour library board, who has devoted the last several years toward getting a new building for it.
she's from your island then?
This has been a terrible shock to her, having to give up seeing it to its completion.
she is indeed, jilli, and had a sweet little note in the local paper today
odd word fo 6/42 (do 6/36 same)
yes, west.
also... if anyone ever wants a lot of prayers for someone... you can telephone any LDS Temple in the world and say "I have names" and tell them the names. The names are then put in a big envelope/box thing.. and prayed for. The name stays on the prayer rolls for 2 weeks.
that's good to know m
Good to know, m9 -- many thaks
yup
which reminds me that it's time to call in MY friend with cancer's name again! and her daughter and grandchild.
too much cancer around!
wow m9
yes! she beat it once before.. as did her daughter...
and her granddaughter too?
but this time it's really infiltrated and is a very aggressive one.
indeed, my only niece has just had surgery on fast growing C, and they're looking at possibility of further surgery, is in chemo now
daughter stopped by today inbetween all the running around, just to sit for a minute. She is so exhausted.. I could hear it in her voice..
omg, how awful all around!
no. the grandson is high functioning autistic. and his father fairly out of the picture. so my friend and her mother have been his main family.
so sorry flosey
oh flosey..
it sure does go around.
so sorry flosey
never give up hope
my mom died of cancer 6 days after I turned 20. First person that was close to me that died.
ty, she has been put on a very strict diet - no meat, fish once a week, vegetables plus, plus
just to cheer you all up, I tried "innie" and it didn't work
oh m9, far too young to lose one's mother
hello all - could i please have the stats for the lone E for nbt
lol jilli
exactly west!! My friend with 10 children had half her head shaved when I met her. Serious brain tumor. They told her she only had months to live. She laughed at the doctor and said "that's what YOU think!!" I have too much to do!
en 7/48
ty volley
good for her m !!!
then she got pregnant (with number 9) and they said.. you can't do this.. you should abort.. and she said "that's what YOU think!!"
precious m
and then.. I drove 6 of her children to the hospital and had 4 of them in the room to watch child number 10 come into the world.
she is TRULY amazing!!
wow, m9!
sounds like it
when Gage was born.. she drove a couple hours down to my apartment with husband and about 4 or 5 kids in tow.. and made me the most AWESOME chicken soup I ever ate! and her son made a casserole. and they made something else too..
and what's her prognosis now?
she brought all her spices too!LOL
oh... the cancer was sheesh.. about 17 years ago... no signs since.
the original spice girl? lol
wow what a great attitude
and she works like crazy as a nurse. Her husband is bipolar and like having another kid.. so she's been their main breadwinner for years..
he's really nice.. but she kind of has to manage him.LOL
what an amazing person!
and she nurses the babies forever.. and she mothers everybody else...LOL
I love her.
what is this angel's name?
she also makes the best corned beef.. she organizes cookies trades at her place.. and has loads of people over for st patty's day..
Her name is Maureen
Ah -- Irish?
oh yes!
candidate for sainthood!
She already is one!LOL
soodle said the other day her father was one of 15 and her grandmother never had a washing machine
It is after all the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day SAINTS....
her mother was one of 11 and she has 100 first cousins
and if it wasn't for TV she'd probably have 10 kids too
wow west! I'm the youngest of 9.. when the first three (boys) were little and all in diapers, my parents didn't have water in the house. they had a well. And all cloth diapers..
and my Dad was gone for days at a time on the boats.
We had a housekeeper in Quebec who was one of 21 kids -- but 2 wives.
I can't even imagine
I grew up in a big catholic neighborhood in Seattle. The next door neighbors had 13, up on the corner they had 12, the Gillionies had 15...
our 9 was a small family!LOL
can you imagine being an only child in that neighborhood?
that wasn't where the house with no water was..
wow, jilli, mealtime must have been quite a chore
my best friend growing up.. it was just her and her brother.
bet she liked hanging at your house
and they were very cool.. she had all the "in" toys...
actually she did. They didn't even go INTO their living room.. it was kept perfect for guests..
in big families the older children look after the younger ones
and she NEVER cooked growing up! except at my house. We'd make pancakes together and that was a HUGE deal to her!
flosey, I think family #1 was grown up and goen when family #2 arrived. Dad was french-canadian, first wife also, second wife anglo, all kids completely bilingual with no accent. That's Hudson, Que.
wow, amazing, jilli
but my mom scared her. she told me that just a few years ago. but hey.. my mom scared me. So I wasn't surprised.LOL
was your mom efficient?
I am SO lost in finding my French Canadian great grandpa.
a no nonsense kind of person?
Quel nom, m9?
I'd think that would be easy for you
who mine west?? my mom was um.. neurotic. and negligent. and I luckily was the youngest and my dad retired when I was 8 and was a house-husband while she went to school.
and HE was a great cook!!
I just figured with 9 kids she was a wonder
he did what he had to do
I gather when the older kids were at home.. and he'd be home off the water, he'd make big casseroles and stews and such... and when he'd leave.. they'd eat that until it was gone.. and then it was kind of fend for yourself..
cause my mother was a terrible cook.
that's really sad
he'd make cheap food of course.. but make it good. And he'd cook tongue.. and then slice it very thin for sandwiches....
I loved tongue -- never see it in the stores now.
every day I would go to the butcher and get tongue for my 5th grade teacher's sandwich
so he was on the water, and I guess tongue was on sale or something so my mom thought.. Oh.. I'll make that. all the kids sitting at the table.. and my mom brings out a platter. with a boiled tongue on it. whole.
and then to the bakery for a cream puff
ewww
My mom LOVED cream puffs!!! there was a little bakery up on the hill...
exactly!
not ewww at all!
I TOLD you she was a terrible cook!
I mean ewww for the boiled tongue on a platter
that's what I meant too -- delicious!
just boiled? no spices or anything?
west didn't mean "ewww...tongue".. just ewww on the presentation!
yep
yup. just boiled.
sitting on a platter.
I grew up loving liver..my mother was a wonderful cook
But I did love her "grilled cheese" sandwiches.
my dad made awesome liver
luckily my DAD was a wonderful cook
well, I seem to remember enjoying slices from a boiled tongue on a platter...
amazing really
juicy and tender and tasty...
was it served cold jilli?
they were actually broiled cheese open face sandwiches.
but liver is another story for me -- think I told you before.
No, the tongue was warm.
I don't remember hearing it jilli
I hated liver until I had it cooked properly!! mom cooked it until it was like leather
oh, m9, broiled cheese open faced sounds great!
yes. and with tomato...
oh, I loved those, we called them cheese dreams
I didn't know what most people call a "grilled cheese" until I was in college
I sure do miss the gas stove I grew up with.
When I was a kid I was supposedly anemic and back then there weren't any handy iron pills, so I had to have lover soup every day for lunch. It looked like pee with grey bits floating in it and tasted worse. I'm not fond of liver.
and my dad made homemade macaroni and cheese. People would BEG to be asked over for his tuna casserole..
oh jilli.. I"m SO sorry!!!!
oh jilli, that sounds revolting
*liver soup, not lover, lol!
double yuck
we knew what you meant lol
in high school my sister took a chinese cooking class.. and so my dad bought 'her' a wok, and all the stuff to go with it. Then he learned how to make sweet and sour pork.. and people BEGGED to come over for that!
and his stuffed zucchini...
and his stuffed salmon on the hibachi in the summer...
I am getting so hungry
and his blackberry jam! and stewed rhubarb! He'd take us into the hills in the spring with gloves to get nettles...
and he knew where wild watercress grew..
I'm not even halfway here yet :(
oh wow, m9!
and he'd take us to find chantrelle mushrooms.
What a dad!
When my other sister lived on the Makah Indian reservation.. he'd go out with the elder of the tribe and collect mussels.. and make the best chowder..
sounds like he missed his calling he'd be a famous chef on TV now
at night.. he'd listen to the radio.. he had a little earphone on a wire...
and he'd hear a recipe on the radio.. and then he'd try something new.. and we'd have it a few times.. and then not see it again maybe for good.
LOL
he watched graham kerr and Wok with Chan
and talk food with the caterer who lived two houses down..
I liked Kerr
When we went camping in the Ogo Pogo area.. he knew where the really good butcher shops were. I remember eating prociutto in the car.
his dad was german. When there was such a thing as neighborhood butchers (there was one in our neighborhood) he'd get FRESH ground beef.. and eat raw hamburger sandwiches.
don't think I'd like that
My best friend said she ate better camping with us then she did at home.LOL huckleberry pancakes... stew...
and everything from scratch
We used to enjoy Steak Tartare at parties -- seasoned ground raw filet mignon
somehow steak works but hamburger doesn't
hamburger is too fatty
scratch is the way to go don't always have the time though
yes.. There's a clip on youtube of Julia Child on Letterman.. and the burner she has doesn't work.. so she makes do.. and says it's like tartare and has Dave eat a bite... LOL
it's so funny
I can see my dad now making meatloaf.. and testing his seasoning by eating a bit raw.
Like me.. he didn't use recipes usually
did he like it?
I made meatloaf the other day.. and did the same thing!LOL
Letterman I mean
he looked like he was gonna gag..
(and my meatloaf was REALLY good by the way!)
oh m I finally got to see Gage in the bookcase how sweet he looked
we used to eat hot cereal every day. Oatmeal, cornmeal, Zoom, Roman Meal...
oh yes West! isn't he cute?
Betcha never had Red River cereal -- yummy
that was one of my favs, jilli
and then on the weekend.. my dad woulld take any left over cereal and make a quick bread on a big cookie sheet. SO GOOD hot with butter and syrup.
that sounds familiar jilli...
I had to google it. Yes.. I've had that!
a Canadian yum, m9
PRobably when we were in canada
we went there every summer.
and camped at Vaseaux Lake.
ah, quite likely, then
and my dad always made friends with all the other campers. Some he corresponded with later.LOL
where is Vaseaux Lake, m9?
if any of them mentioned it was a good cereal...then he'd have got some and tried it!!LOL
near osooyus.. however you spell that. I think that's close
oh, in BC
Okanogan
above eastern washington
yes
U-pick cherries, and apricots...
on the way.
such bounty
Did I mention my dad liked food?!? LOL
corn on the cob raw right off the stalk.
such great memories m9
over halfway now -- 80/63
lol I have 61/82
yes. he died about a week before my birthday.. when I was.. about 26
I have 72. I hit 1/2way and stopped!
you were so young then too
oh dear, m9 -- too young!
he was 82
well, I guess YOU were too young.
do you see him in any of your children?
I guess I was more like 28
my eldest was a spitting image of my mom when she was little.
any great cooks blooming?
my mom never saw any of my children.. but my second was around a year when my dad died.
my eldest is a real foodie! Very discerning. I have to buy the correct brand of coconut milk or she tells the difference.
and she can tell the difference between different olive oils..
I have a feeling if your dad wanted coconut milk he'd climb a tree and get some
With my boys... I see more of a similarity with my brother.
brothers.
LOL... I bet he did when he visited his brother in Hawaii. (well ..not climb.. but procure one)
were you the only girl?
my dd does make her own coconut milk sometimes.. and then she created the most LOVELY cookie recipe to use the pulp!
5 girls, 4 boys.
sounds like her husband to be will be eating well
oh yes! she already mails him packages!LOL
and she's started canning now.
made her first jam a couple weeks ago.
is he in the service?
no.. college
I used to send 'care' packages to my husband at school and then on the ship
hoping she gets her own deer this year so she'll have that to take with her when she has her new home.
ok.. one thing about my mom.. terrible cook.. but she DID like sweets.. and could make a dessert. They used to make crybabies to send my oldest brothers in the navy
that'll last awhile
he was in navy west?
never heard of them what are they?
he was
been retired since 85
they are a molasses cookie (made with coffee sometimes) they cook like a mound.. and then you frost the flat sides and stick two together.
they sound great
similar to my FAVORITE christmas cookie: Ginger creams!
I'm a hermit fan myself
which are in the old fashioned Betty Crocker cookbooks.
we should do a virtual cookie exchange for an icon theme
my husband loves snickerdoodles.. but they've never been a big hit with me. I like peanut butter cookies...
that would be cute!
send it to sprite, west!
I was just thinking that jilli..of course we'd have to include recipes
and why not, west?
hmm... pictures of ginger creams online show them frosted.. but they should be iced.
they sound good m9
with that powdered sugar icing that glazed over as it cools..
m9, make some and take pix :)
very thin on cookie..
you did the tops while they're warm..
jilli of course we'd share recipes
the most recent cookies I've been making are both KJE's recipes
well, I'm a lousy cook but I did manage brandy snaps
that was long ago though.
Jilli, you made a great meal when Stid family were up
but I agonise, flosey
you just mean you don't really enjoy cooking?
good morning, 10 minutes to jump in
I find it very difficult because I'm not used to it
how is everybody?

i wanted to see what the tr8 meant.. and clicked the ?... it went to the dictionary and all of a sudden I had some security alert, yada yada yada.. flashing red warnings... looked like a system thing.. but was really a website made to LOOK like a system screen...
How strange m9 - I just did the same and went straight to the def: either of the two cylindrical projections on a cannon, one on each side for supporting the cannon on its carriage.
hellooooo :)
Morning Ata!!!!!!!
how are you today??
bit tired, been up since 4.30 but have done the grid, sudoku and all emails so have a good start on the day. How about you and the knee?
very painful today for some reason
been pushing it too much again?
I don't think so! but maybe ...
knowing you ... probably. Are you all ready now for the weekend?
nope LOL. today is a day of getting ready for the weekend :D
How many pics are you taking?
not sure, will just take my portfolios and see how many space we've got this year

I've never managed to video her purring again!
Why oh why is my nextdoor neighbour mowing the grass at this time in the morning when it is sodden with dew??!
doh!
*le sigh*
have you got that lone E?
yep, let me look
oh it is one you should fi4 en7/48
worms in the gut
I think
oooo! gut worms!
lol
hello again
starts with a LotR tree
boys are getting ready to go on a "lunch cruise" on the lake
Morning ruby
I worked that bit out ;P
hi ruby!
Does that mean you will have the day to yourself ruby?
no, unfortunately, I have to go, too.
It's very pretty thugh, expensive and with only so0so food
ah well, hope the weather is good and at least you don't have to cook.
but at least it motivated me to dress nicley for a change
nicely*
can the chows go too??
that would be a hoot -- to big stinky dogs on a fancy boat --- raofl!
Doubt it Ata.
I only go places I can take Hobbit too :P
two* can't type, actually did my nails!
we could take Ruby, but it would be too sad to leave Max alone
you can take dogs everyplace here
lol I gave myself a manicure yesterday ruby.
when I was working, I used to go once a week -- now I've become a country bumpkin, generally unkempt
Now, if I dress up. the housekeeper says I look like a "sapin Noel", a Christmas tree!!!!
phone, brb
looool
at least not a lapin Noel
dod you know the French expression for being stood up (like for a date)? It's "faire un lapin russe" Huh?
oooo! didn't know that. but the frech do have very odd experssions ...
ma petite puce???!
eeew! and now they evidently have a puce epidemic and keep showing ads on TV of a little red-haired curly-haired girl with a monkey on her head EATING the puces! double eeeew
ewwwww!
no one could ever accused the French of having taste, especially on TV!
yuk yuk
the ad makes me laugh while shuddering
pauvre singe
do they eat puces? I suppose they do
pretty funny to see the monkey grooming the kid, though
I think that's what they do when they groom each other, big part of their social lives! Sounds like a party to me.....
mmmm puce parties!
I try riad once a week, it should be an acceptle word. Is imaret in enable?
acceptable* sorry for typos
not sure
Gotta poof for a while have to pay some cheques into the bank and that means I mustget dressed and it looks like the heavens are about to open. TTFN
bye dear!
if it rains there today, then their predictions about a rainy weekend here are correct!~
{{FM}}
Sorry, Ruby, tipping down with rain here :-(
I'll have the umbrellas ready but today will still be fine!
hello, zzoozz!
there is wan sunlight, very chilly
cool and cloudy here
Yes we had two days of lovely sunshine, they say that was the last for this year here :-(
no no! IU'm hoping for Indian summer even though there are no Indians
still they are always wrong :-)
the French call it that which I find very funny, another one of their dopey expressions
ok, I must go and buy some mounting board. back in a bit!
Morning all.
Bye for now Ata ;-)
hello sally
hi sally!
Hello, Sally :-)
bye ata
*poof* time for apero for the boys!
Take care Ruby ;-)
It's a filthy day here. Raining, dark, misty, depressing :-(
Same here sally :-(
Hello Sally & Zooz!
I see Heinz is in the grid :-) I did try it, just in case, seeing what strange words are sometimes allowed.
Hi lynxxx
Hello, Lynxxx, a happy belated Birthday to you, hope you had a great day :-)
Yes i entered that too sally, no luck tho..lol
Thankyou Zooz - and I did
Oh yes, from me too! I'm bad at knowing when Babbler's birthdays are, and don't always look at the chat.
The make of car is in there though zooz, which is allowed.
TY Sally. Sorry for disappearing yesterday, wasn't up to that 'person' and his comments. Ugh
ooh, thanks Sally :-)
oh, did we have a troll yesterday then Lynxxx
I ignored him lynxxx, after he called me an idiot. Then he called sprite bitchy - but we apparently were the ones with an attitude ... Not meaning ANY disrespect to American babblers, but his language sounded American.
oh sorry, yes i know what you mean now.
not a troll just a very opinionated person who was blunt in the extreme
It isn't worth getting into a discussion with people like that, especially online when things can be so easily misunderstood.
this is grim, only got 50 words and I am already searching
lol, you are doing well, i only have 34 :-(
I only have 35 :-( But I broke my personal rule about not joining in the chog before doing a certain percentage of the grid.
Lynxx, try ier and ion on a few words
hi DazG - thanks for the hint
nice hint, thanks Gran :-)
yw
thanks for the hint!
Hi
hi Infernal
Hello, Herin :-)
hi herin
There I am. Hi. My silly pc was being silly
most of your name is in the grid today, herin :-)
Lynxx the little girl dog I was playing with Gloria found a home so did the white one
excellent news! BBS - just organising some dinner
Enjoy, Lynxxx
Lynxx she loved the big Grey hounds
Zoom how you today?
not too bad thanks, Herin, how are you keeping?
I had a big nap. I will be back in a tick the oven timer just went dinng
hope the food smells nice :-)
I hope it tastes ok it is store bought met loaf
meat even
Did anyone enter Heinz and then decide they would have them for tea? Subliminal advertising might help us through the hard times. But not caviar or posh cars and expensive handbags.
morning all
Only joking!
i did try Heinz, but did not eat any..LOl
Hello, Spritey :-)
hey zooz :)
I did try it just in case! And there is a car there, though I haven't yet found a handbag.
And hi, and hi sprite.
prada
hey Sally :)
Oh heck, now I'm looking for the car!
How are you today Spritey?
Love your icon sprite!
tired but ok. And you, zooz? Thanks Sally :D
Not too bad thank you :-)
am glad
hi
hi lady *hug*
Hugs Sprite. Hi Patx
i have 4 `th`s are there more?
I have 5 so far.
*looking*
Back. Hello Sprite!
Make that 6.
hi lyn :) xxx Did you have a nice birthday evening?
ate too much but nice
glad you enjoyed yourself.
Wanted to say sorry to you if I was the one who chased you away yesterday, lyn.
oh no , I couldn't handle that guy at all
thanks sally, got 6 so far too.
I shouldn't have answered him at all, realised too late I was feeding a troll.
Do you have the 5/18? Nice one to get,
woo hoo, just found an 8
Th? 5
but at least I am glad I didn't irritate you :) Hate to think I'd spoiled a part of your birthday. Glad you had a good celebration!
yes got that one sally..lol
herin, take without paying.
They come and go sprite. I could see the funny side.
*grins* I hope Andree got her Apple working to her liking.
What are first two letters of the 8 zooz?
ir
She hasn't emailed me yet so far.
that should be a good sign then, if the helpdesk could sort her out. Or it could mean she did not get the email to work.
th5/18? Looking now.
Is she on facebook sprite?
I am a FB nitwit, sorry
I think any new pc will have its quirks and bits to sort
But you have a fb account, because we are "friends" there. Just thought if she was on fb I could contact her that way if necessary.
Yes herin, and it is a totally different experience using a sssshh (looks round furtively) Mac.
yes I do have an account. I go there about once every 2 months. Sorry to be of so little help.
lol Sally
Same here sprite :-) Some people obviously spend all day on fb, detailing their every cup of tea.
oooh, good id4 Sally
ah, about Macs, I learned another fun one yesterday. The reason Mac users don't talk about th5 wonderful Macs. It is because there are only 2 kind of people. 1. The Mac users, and they already know how splendid th5 Macs are. 2. The people who don't use Macs. And why add to th4 misery by pointing out the obvious?
putting kettle on now.
So here's my exciting news for the day: I'm on my second large mug of coffee, and have had bread and marmelade for breakfast. :-)))
roflol Sally! I am idly pulling on my braid while searching for babble words.
just with a drop of milk thanks Zooz, no sugar
lol sprite. Think I've heard something similar before.
Braid? In your hair? Well I suppose it makes a change from the rose behind the ear.
Sorry, just realised I can't spell marmalade.
yep, in the hair. Still the night braid, imagine. Lazy cow, me.
I have had my windoz for 2 years now and I still find little quirks
sally, did you fi4 the ir8?
Just found it zooz, and it gave me the other four I words from that square as well, so thanks.
was just going to say there are more..lol
windows is incredibly buggy and hackers friendly. But some programs just won't run on Macs for me... yet anyway.
I tend to spell those words with an S, so didn't see them straight away.
Drat it. I have to vacuum the carpet, the cat and the back of this laptop
There are usually alternatives sprite. And most of the software is either cheap or free, as opposed to Windows. I'm not on a hobby horse here, I hasten to add.
*giggle* Well I like your attitude, Sally.
Which programmes won't run on the Mac?
ok, rain has stopped for now, time to get out and do some errands, take care all, bbl
bye for now, zooz, have a good day and take care of you *hugs*
bye zooz, enjoy the day and thanks for the help.
DOes someoen want to do this vacuuming for me in the AM?
Bye ZOooo
Astrospiegel, Starlight
I will do the cat for you, lady
Sorry herin, I have my own dust.
Don't know those, will go and google.
astrology programs
I believe there is a Starlight for Mac, but I would have to buy a new version then... quite expensive
Sprite you just want to see a cat be vacuumed without clawing
I can vacuum any cat, lol. Well, almost.
ALl the cat lovers out there don't stresss. Pandora is deaf and doesnlt mind
my late cat loved it
watching SBS Inferna?. Iranian cooking, head and hoof soup for Sunday breakfast - requires strong stomach especially cooking it.
hmmm thanks but no thanks, lyn, LOL
how many other words are related to the ir8, please?
I am Lynxx it does interest me
One really sprite, the 8 is the pt. But there are two other close words which just leave out one letter, from the same square.
I think I have been barking up the wrong tree then. I thought they had the same root and was stuck at 3. But now I get it :) Thanks
I didn't put it very well.
Lynxx what I don't like is the few places that sell this stuff wouldn't know what Food standards are
It all looks okay to me. The food looks lovely except for that soup
just me being daft, Sally
Did you get the th 5/a8?
daft sally
The places they are showing look fantastic. I am just thinking of the handful that aren't. There is one place that was closed and still had the meat on the kabab thingie
yes, thank you :)
You calling me daft kje? My brother's bigger than your brother, I bet!
I bet not, actually
lol silly kje
Guess you will always get restaurants that don't heed food standards. I have seen some dodgy ones - and not Iranian either
:-)
I was calling sprite daft sally, but ow I see she used a comma
morning kje
gm
daft kje :D
Hi JGE
Actually I don;'t think I have seen any actual Iranian ones either Lynxx any suggestions?
Rumi in Brunswick
weird, with all the french words that are in enable, that enfin isn't.
Thanks
It always annoys me that I can't use "enth". As in .. to the enth degree.
What about Egyptian?
crazy enable
why is that? We all say to the enth degree too
it is spelled nth
think it's nth
hi Ata
ata! eons!
smarties
and hi again!
So you could have nths then.
HI Ata
almost in the PB, kje ;)
is the e a fish?
that would be logical, Sally. So it probably isn't valid.
almost does'nt count ; )
nooo, just pointing it out for you :P
Free clue: there is a word that is allowed and ends in enth.
back
not a fish
another clue for the same word `12`
clue then?
not a fish, but a tapeworm
Don't make it too easy, zooz :-)
OK brb need to reboot
Ata can give a better clue for sure
ata could?
I don't think I should have to deal with tapeworms this early in the morning
soz Sally :-)
oh, I like tapeworms
I think tapeworms belong to them, but they can be other worms too. But not sure. En7
I would think so
animals internal to an animal or person
can I be smug now?
ok ok, you be smug. Much better explanation.
I would think so!
ty
yvw smart kje ;)
Got it. ty one and all.
wtg Sally!
50 to get, and slow now
my son is hamstering plates, cups, spoons and glasses in his room. Yesterday I collected it all and put it on top of his keyboard and computer. He just put it aside. Now I have switched it for his keyboard. Anyone who thinks this may work better?
54 here
61 here
LOL sprite - go mom!
46
I remember this phase well sprite.
we say squirreling ;)
:D Any good advice for me?
squirreling! Oh I love that. Thanks Ata.
Remove keyboard and leave crockery in its place. Swop the keyboard for the crockery.
:D
buy him paper plates, plastic cutlery and styrofoam cups - and never enter his room again
great, that is what I did. Will report later on how it worked :D
roflol lyn, that is a great one too!
every cup or plate left in there = 1 evening's washing up for him to do
Oh, I've just seen that's what you said.
I love you girls. Wonderful advice.
When my son was older than yours, about 17 I think, he complained that I wasn't treating him like an adult. I said, well, I will treat you like an adult but being an adult means having responsibilities.
yes, it means acting like an adult too. I fully agree.
He said, fine. So I said, I won't worry about what time you come in, but you have to do your own washing and look after your room.
I stuck to my side of the bargain. At the end of the week we heard him go to the airing cupboard where I normally left his clean clothes.
I swear we could hear the light bulb go on over his head - no clean clothes!
roflolllllll
LOL
hi zooz, wb :)
thanks, i got wet in the end..lol
how did he react?
It made me a more relaxed mother, I never had to enter his room :-)
He learnt how to use the washing machine, sprite.
wonderful. I will remember that for over a few years, thank you.
I'm not sure he mastered using an ir4, but then I haven't either.
I select my clothes on not needing an ir4
me too!
Me too :-) I have to sit to use an ir4 anyway, so it's easier just not to use it.
ah, but you could drop yours at Haz's, Ata! She will love doing it for you.
He (son) is also a brilliant cook because I let him experiment, didn't fuss, and he got his own meals during this "growing up" period.
ironing? what a waste of time, although I do iron fabric for art work!
when my mum comes here, she ir4s eveyrthing she can find!
same here, Sally. My sister just started her own ir4 service though. Surprising how many clients she has already.
hello all
He likes his food :-)
that is really great, Sally. Our kids cook too and they love it.
hi Kallia
hello, Kallia
hi kallia
Naughty Kallia, and here we all are avoiding the word.
free for all to say iron now!
He does all the cooking for his family.
oops didn't even realise it is there!
hi Kallia
Gives me recipes now :-)
lol Ata, my MIL was the same. When she stepped in when I was in hospital with Tim's birth, I came home to a house with even the underwear and socks ir4ed.
yep! underwear, socks, handkerchiefs, bed sheets ...
Socks!!! Underwear!! I gather some people even ir4 tea towels. Not good for the environment is my excuse.
tea towels too!
Just too much time on th5 hands.
they *enjoy* it
all I ever ir4ed were blouses and business shirts. Though as a kid I had to do all the ir4ing. So I could, if I wanted. But I don't.
nothing wrong with 'flat' tea towels, they fit in the drawer better...but i don't do sheets or underwear or socks
most stuff ir4s on the body, we say here
I'm brilliant at ironing after being in air cadets for years. I just hate doing it
when my son used to hoarded the cutlery etc, I removed everything from the kitchen....he soon got the message..not only did he have to take it down, but he had to wash it too. At that stage he wasn't even eating with us, that stopped soon too
smart move, Kallia
ah my son being in the army cadets sorted out the ironing proble, showed him once and never ironed anything of his again!
my daughter offered to do my daughter-in-laws ironing for a birthday present. When she arrived at the house the ironing was in a cupboard and was full from floor to ceiling!! it took her two days - she never offered again!!!
aw that is abusing a very thoughtful gift. What a shame, Jivingjenny, and hi.
LOL wonder how long she saved it up for
she loves ironing and ofter comes over for a cup of tea and does my ironing for me.
One of my claims to fame is failing ir**ing in Secondary School (had 'domestic' subjects in those days)...I failed in the handkerchief ir**ing!!!! I was at that stage ir**ing for the whole house as my Mum was sick
that school must have had funny demands on the results then, lyn
wonder if haz had to do ironing exams
And where does she live Jenny? :-)
handkerchief ir**ing! my goodness.....though I do remember having to take a woollen garment to school to be taught how to wash it!
that is sweet, JJenny
thinking she will adopt you Sally?
One lives in hope.
unfortunately for you Sally she lives in Oxfordshire
I could travel :-) I would say good morning, I just happen to have a car full of creased clothes :-)
not too far from me then jj..send her to hampshire for the day please.
yay I'll be in Oxford tomorrow
From the time she was about 8 she has always like ironing especially shirts & blouses but definitely not pillowcases or teatowels.
take your ironing with you Ata!
i used to live in Oxford :-)
better pack your ir4ing too, Ata
I don't mind pillowcases so much because they don't have fiddly bits.
Babble meet in Oxford!
as long as it is a rectangle, I don't mind.
I hope you let your Mother know that she has become an instant hit Jenny
wasn't it your daughter, JJenny?
good morning my lovely friends!
Trif! *huggles* Lovely to see you!
oh sorry, daughter!
Hello, Trif :-)
morning Trif
lovely to be seen! and yes, I ir4, contrary to the belief that americans dont....
Hallo Trif.
daughter no 2, daughter no 1 doesnt even know how toplug iron in!!
finally... thought I'd never fi4 a pee word. But there is one.
there is?
yep
Have struggled with the U words and will go back to them.
hmmmm *looks*
if you could clean a wound with pee, it would be called this
ewww
(cryptical clue, don't take me literally here)
urelastoplast?
well.....
Although apparently good for tinea
roflol Sally
uriseptic?
got it! nice cryptic clue!
yeah, I read that some people use their pee for several purposes. Some even drink it... for th5 health. I say, if my body doesn't want it, why put it back in?
yay Trif! :)
indeed. it's full of the stuff your body filtered out. putting back in is just silly
amen to that, Trif
And fireworks for me.
wtg zooz!
Hooray for Zooz!!
I suppose if you drink your own pee you could market it as uriaid.
lol Sally
or uriade
Yes, I tried them both!
does that mean gatorade comes from alligators?
think of the ending of the yellowy stuff you can clean wounds with... it stings
You mean it doesn't? Shocked.
always thought it did, Ata
I was never sure
sure gives most teenagers a gator smile
I always heard that gatorade got its name because it was formulated by the coaches in florida for the Gator football team, and then the decided to sell it
does make you wonder what's in lucozade
I have no idea if that is true or just a legend....
and in Adelaide
*Hangs head in shame* I've never actually heard of it.
adelie penguins
I like penguins
fi4flies. Nice grid.
Congrats Sprite!
Yay sprite.
*happy dance* Anything I may help with before I split?
don't think so!
No thanks sprite, just pludding through now.
not for me either, in fact I think I will give up for now. Bye all
ok, off with me then. Thanks all! And bye :)
bye sprite.
down to 10... need a nap
yay sprite!
sorry, lost in the grid
HI
hi ladies
Hi there
hi sally
just checking in.....You are right that Gatorade was formulated at Univ. of FL. My DD #1 graduated there.
And I just caught the end of the urine discussion.....FWIW urine is sterile.
sterile when it comes out, but quickly becomes contaminated
Yep.....bleah
next topic . . . fun with feces
;-p
y
y not inge?
no sleep for 2nd nite in row....and nerves completely rattled....does not make for good grid concentration
what's rattling u carlee?
i found out some news regarding the 2 suicides in my city....( involving ongoing investigation) and...there is way more happening then I expected....and there is more to come based upon evidence...it really sucks being in the know..knowing too much and not being able to talk about it to anyone....i cant say more... but its really bad...hopefully more is diverted...
Hello, Esprit - how are you?
( sorry 2 suicides in my kids' highschool not just city)
hi haz, doing ok
That's good.
are these kids making suicide pacts?
haz! haz! did you know that Lyn failed ironing exams at school?
Good gracious! How does the woman hold her head up in society?
she failed on handkerchief ironing
Not even on pintucks or pleats?
nope
It's very brave of her to go through life with such a failure - and to admit it in public!
This grid isn't easy, is it?
did you have ironing exams?
No, but that's probably because my mortal fear of sewing forced me to ignore domestic science as a subject.
how many words today please
143, sandra.
It feels more like 543.
thanks i have 33
i learned to iron hankies when i was 4
<===doesn't own an iron now
hi all
Hello, jmc.
I use paper hankies, which solves that problem.
Kleenex balsam
you don't want to iron paper hankies
;-p
precisely
Hello, Sally.
There's no answer to that Ata.
the fi** department frowns on ironing paper hankies
Hi Haz. I have fireworks now so am thinking of sneaking off, despite the fascinating discussion of ir4 ing methods.
Kleenex balsam tissues are simply the best. You shouldn't go through a cold without them.
Any clues needed?
ack pb for me!
8s?
me too I guess jmc
on ironing paper
ir 8/70 which is the pt of ir 7/48 and might be used in the sort of discussion going on now. Like, are your hankies ir 8/70?
do they frown on ironing hair too?
did you tell car that when she needed it ata?
tr 8/45 which is tr + sounds like the crying vegetable.
i remember ir**ing hair my sister did it all the time
has zooz come on today?
Yes, he was on earlier.
Yes, earlier.
hi all
good he got quite upset by car's disclosure about the two teenage suicides
I know - I don't think carlee realises what has been going on.
Good morninng but it did not get the ir or the tr8 clues, what am I missing
Hello, boo.
she needed to vent but he needed to not hear it
I missed that disclosure, that must have been earlier today?
but he just left so maybe he was protecting himself
this is a pretty touchy subject lately
It was yesterday, Sally.
okay got an early day at work so i can go to a day baseball game bbl
bye all
I know, Esprit, I'd hate for anybody to put their foot in it, simply because they don't know all the troubles people have been going through.
The ir: the first four letters are the household tool we have been discussing, then add letters which make it sound as if you are doing it (hint: use the high point tile).
by jmc
for those who may not know, one of my brothers committed suicide 2 weeks ago
Will go and look in yesterday's chog Haz.
oh no i am so so sorry esprit! i did not know
so sorry Esprit
still in disbelief
I did remember you saying, esprit, but so very sorry.
got it thanks Sally, now how about the tr8?
i am sure again so sorry
*poof*
Esprit, it's difficult for us to know how to be with you. I'm erring on the side of caution, knowing you know that I wish you well, but not wanting to refer to it all the time so that you're not defined by what has happened.
no one saw it coming
so sorry, Esprit, I know what a shock it can be
i am sorry i hurt anyone...i am gone..goodbye
Marc, that ir will also give you the two other sfrom that tile if you remove one letter. It won't be an IR.
Thinking of tr clue.
carlee - you didn't know. You know now so that you can understand what happened when zooz left. He had been in a bad way recently.
tk all
tr + marriage is a ***** between two people, but double the first consonant.
Got the 7 from it not sure what else there is?
You got the ir7 and 8? From the same square, drop the first consonant to give you two other words.
ty sally
Thanks still working on tr8. I have been married 36 years and besides contract can't figure out the other. Going ot work on it
If I give the first two letters, I give it away :-)
war? lol
lol, in this country in some industries they have a trade *****
Or our national flag is the ***** Jack or ***** Flag
Got it finally thanks for you patience with me Sally
*exhausted*
Must be off now. Byeeee!
Bye, Sally.
clue for ad 4/10 please
ad 4/10 is a tool
hello everyone
Hello, Annie.
ad4/10 -ad plus first letters of a nothing/nil/zilch word.
hello Haz, I love the new additions to your list
ty Haz and Annie
Thanks, Annie!
And you're welcome, Boo.
Sorry for the slow response, I'm trying to type something else and type e-mails as well. I should just focus!
mornin babblers!
Hello, EvaN!
I was just booted out and had a time coming back in. Looks like it is going to happen again.
hello haz! dont often see you quite this early these days... how goes it?
It's going fine - daughter's wedding plans are coming on well and I'm taking nerve tablets so all should be fine.
heh, i bet you are. im sure my parents are also. how long until your big day?
Not for ages yet, beginning of August next year.
Bread and water until then. Cheap and slimming.
hah, nerve tablets already? that does not bode well. ;)
well said -- as i am eating PBJ for breakfast, and lunching on leftover pizza every day this week. dinners have been a mash-up of whatever randomness is hiding in the back of the freezer and in tins in the cupboard. last night, we treated ourselves out to fast food...hehe
They're preventative. She's going to be put on a high dose.
methinks we have killed the chat with our wedding woes...
*pictures Mr Haz with cow hypo filled with trancs*
Hey EvaN!!!! and Haz :)
Maybe the threat of that will make her behave.
mornin FM. :)
Hello, FM!
Hello you two.
so are you all set EvaN?
my parents and his parents have put so much money into our wedding. and time and effort too. i honestly dont know how we would be doing it all if it werent for them.
all set?not even close. :)
That is lovely that both sets of parents are helping so much - what is still left to do??
all details from this point on out. all the BIG STUFF is mostly taken care of.
mother and i are taking a LONG day trip up to NYC and back saturday for my final dress fitting -- and we should be bringing it home that day!
I've already got my hat for your babble wedding and I know Haz has too - but hers is a bit wierd :)
They told me it was 'special' in the shop.
doe she have a bust of George Clooney on it?
LOL
Now there's a thought....
Good Morning Babblers! Eva, have you found a new pair of Orange shoes, or will the first pair have to do?
Ladies, have to go, I'm being called in for lunch. See you later!
Byeee HAz
red -- the first pair is the pair we are going with. unless i magically find another pair in the next month...hehe
clue for de 5
g'day haz!
Hi red and Boo brb, kettle has boiled and I need tea.
Well, I am sure the first pair is pretty nice Eva.
EvaN have you heard from NB since he got back?
you know FM, I have not seen much of NB, I hope he is well...
me too - back in a couple of mins.
Hi FM
does anyone have any "z" clues?
Oh my I think I killed off a lively chat. sorry!
FM -- i was just asking about him yesterday. ive only seen him once or twice, very briefly -- he is being quite elusive! the most i could gather is that the trip was less-than-fabulous, but that he and new-roomie Frank are an item now. i miss him!
hi red
hi boo!
Thanks EvaN, thats about as much as I know too, hope he is ok.
Hey all! Just a quick visit. I need a clue for the E in the second row for NBT please?
Must go and get lunch - TTFN.

good mornining...anyone have a clue for the en7?
en7 - first three letter of 'to go in', mix up the letters of a place where you go to view animals so that the consonant is sandwiched between the vowels, wrap it up with another, different vowel.
welcome back haz. :)
Hello again!
ty haz
You're welcome, and hello hurshy and everyone.
looks like the chat is moving better
I think it was a photo that was making things jerky.
stats for the lone e pls
that's the one haz just clued.
That's the en7, peri, clued below.
ok, will llook
great clue, Haz, ty
You're welcome, peri.
thanks for the en7 clue. I would have been looking for a year before I found it
Morewords....
ir8... what's the other 8 start with, and is it weird or normal?
tr8
hmm, not divided into three sectors...
normal to a machinist
Im back for the dreaded in's
ok, i'm not a machinist.
tr8 - sounds like a British policeman's weapon genetically modified with a weepy vegetable.
ooh thanks haz, that also reminded me about ro6, which i hadn't remembered yet today.
Yes, it's another one, you're right.
i still have more 7's than 6's, though, weirdly enough.
can I have a clue for the first in 6/21?
ty haz. --- lurking
if it's not what you do at the start of a paragraph, then i need it too, annie
in6/21 - best used with a paragraph.
(Back shortly, need to move car)
ur7?
i started off the grid so well, got all the top T's right off the bat... sigh.
thanks, Haz...slap me with a flounder
gagarin + eat out
great clue, grant

that leaves only one more 7 for me!
do7, en7, fi7, ho7, io7, ni7, ru7x2, ti7,un7,ur7
& ir7 :-)
oh thanks, zooz, looks like i need do7
if you need a clue let, me know :-)
ZOOZ, i have been waiting for you lurking..i am sincerely sorry i upset you in any way...please accept my apology...
lol, youdid not upset me at all Carlee :-)....just thought it was such a waste of a young life, i am sorry for being a bit over wimpy..lol
I hope you are ok though Carlee, must of been very upsetting for you.?
it is... a horrid waste of 2 lives.
its...only a tip of an ongoing investigation... and all we can do is wait for the next month to tick by
i cant say anymore....but if anyone reads more into it..ur likely bang on right...
how is your brother/son, sorry cannot remember which..how is he coping.
my son worked out at the gym... he has had a cry....i am taking my kids camping i hope this weekend
thats a nice id4..hope you all have great fun :-)
i hope so too if we dont freeze our hoohahs off
lol, youngsters don`t care about the cold, when they are having fun, you might though...lol
i know i would, i hate being cold..lol
blankets..warm socks..a hat... mittens...all for sleeping
yes, could i have a clue, unless you think i'll kick myself?
well, Hurshy, think of another name for 12
extend it
ahhh, thanks
a bit like how you would sing it, in a christmas carol
yw :-)
nice camp fire Carlee, singing songs, oh those were the days.
well..my kids a little old for the sing songs for a few more years..then they will be young enough again...but...smores... and my son is determined to teach both his mother and his sister to spit "like a man"...so..as gross as it sounds..we practise by the fire ( this been going on for more then 2 years)...and...the 3 of us laugh our asses off...which is all that counts
LOL, spit like a man..now that is funny, even i am wondering how you spit like a man..if i spit, it goes about an inch, or on my shoes..lol....not a spitting person me. :-)
he's a hockey/ football/ rugby player....they know how to spit...
ahh, now that makes sense!
something about arching the tongue...pushing the spit against the back of your top teeth... and pursing ur lips,,,far too technical for my pea brain
llets just say..i don a teatowel for a bib and give it the old college try
LOL, you are going to have a great time, i can tell ;-)
well...its... cheap entertainment...
( why is the 2nd 3rd of this grid going faster then the first 1/3 of the grid???)
uh.. for you maybe..
seriouslly..i've been starign at this grid all morning..and now..suddenly ia m finding things ...my brain is on crack i think...i just dont recall taking anything
maybe because nodoz is in the grid
perhaps..that is why

else i'd never get anything done
I understand, carlee... been there, done that :)
ok;..so..time to start gathering all my stuff for camping this weekend
Hi all, reading back into the cohg, ch1212 thats funny about your Dad. My Dad does the same thing...he looks at me (since I was 17, and says, how old are you exactly?)
i just remind my dad i am going very grey..its upsetting to him....he wants me to colour my hair so he will feel younger...
lol! (both of you) I just turned 55 this past weekend, and if my dad were still alive I know he would have a ball with this birthday!
on that cheery note...camping..i must prepare for my" Spit like a man" lessons round the campfire
Well okay then ... you go right and spit ... in the other direction, please.
( read back in the chog ch...zooz and I )
Ahhh... I see. (chuckle) That makes more sense.

hello lynxxx
hi Daykat, haven't seen you for ages, have you been well?
hi lynxx - my partners mother died last week, it has been pretty full on
Sorry to hear about that, very sad, my condolences to you both
thank you - she had Alzheimers for years and in a way it was a blessed release, tough all the same
yoda
and may the force be with you too donna:))
I'm sorry daykat.. i know how it feels.. my grandma went the same way.. i was so sad but in a way i was relieved since she wasn't herself at the end
ty cosem - its a nasty disease, right enough
and same thing here...my friends grandad passed away at 6pm this evening. He also suffered with Alzheimers too
sad
to me thats the worst disease ever/
We all have to pass sooner or later but let's hope the current 'find' leads to an Alzheimers cure soon so we all need not worry about this disease
I agree with you cos, you lose a little of the person you love every day for years and years,
and when its time.. they cant say good bye and that really hurt
there seems to be some recent advances lynxxx, hopefully will help for us baby boomers who are heading that way
otherwise the medical system just will implode with the sheer weight of numbers
I just learned a new word meaning not kosher.
Love this game
which word is that, daykat?
tr4/7 kje
ah, did not know that, ty
ty day!
t's trounced!
this is my first time playing. Is there a way to rotate the board?
hi Quill, welcome, not yet but we live in hope
thanks!
no quillkdc, but there are rumours that this might be a feature in the new board when /if it comes out
dine
oops, sorry
we all do that quill!! have to watch where the cursor is
welcome quill... leave ow if you do not want a new addiction
7 left
sorry, N still sticking, so fill them in where ever is needed to make sense of the writing
well, it's good to shake things up. I have a real scramble problem on facebook...
Hello...how is the grid?

scramble or scrabble? my prob is scrabble
not
not horrid jelle
n
scramble. Like boggle.
lol, you communicated, even sans n...
hi jellen how you doing?
hi Jellen
Today, I'm totally overwhelmed and avoiding everything...
Hi, lynxxx
better avoid this grid then - or list straight away
that's OK, jellen, some days are like that... take em as they come
jellen some days are like that - jusst dont try to do too much on those days
the n on the bottom left, what is the second letter?
Listing then...although my laptop with BabbleExpert on it is not coming on...
ni
ty lynxxx
it will go fast with the list
last one for fireworks re6/30, can anyone help? please
re6 locate again
re6.30 you lose it and then ....
ty lynxx - and Fireworks!!!
and ty jess too
Yay for daykat!!!
yw and congrats!
Congrats Daykat!
ty:)
jellen what is Babble Expert?
yay daykat!
email Lickety for a copy to load Daykat, you will like it!
only works on PCs, not Macs
It's a program Lickety came up with to help with Babble...puts the list in the same window as the grid...it's cool...
can someone translate? Are you giving each other clues?
it is awesome... saves lots of time
best feature is that it updates both Babble and his list at the same time
quill, click on my B icon for a guide
ah, yes quill
thanks, featherbee
thanks weed, you just saved me lots of bad typing
oh thank you - i've just sent Lickety an email
Quill, at the bottom of this screen is a link to Lickety Split, this is a list showing you first 2 letters and point value of each possible word. We are talking about another piece of software developed by the same guy
weed, it is likely OK to remove the boob now...
Its OK Quill, kje always talks like this, please don't be offended
Hi, feather!
quill, be warned, if you get hooked onto Babble, you will live to rue the day!!! Some of my friends dont talk to me anymore since I told them about Babble!!!
LOLOL lynxx!
lol daykat!! harpjane introduced me to this...I'm always on and now I never see her!! HI all!!
I had to stop ad reread what I had typed to figure out what you meant... I guess that did sound pretty bad
Hi, Jilly!
hi Jilly
hi
hi jillyhill
oops Jillyjill
will have to clean up the profile later
bathtime now
re-read old chat...((hugs)) Jellen...hang in there an know you are normal (well, anyway normal for a babbler!!)
Hi daykat...interesting grid today
I meat she could remove the explanation about being called Boob from her profile - otherwise she seems weird
which may be true, but no need to advertise it
arent we all a little weird?
We all are weird kje....
:P
well, I am not...
I'm off now to start the day. Any clues before I go?
pfft
hush, weed, no one asked you!
o, thanks daykat - hagd

ty lyn!
Right H's done
i mean,... Left H's done
I am concerned...my laptop's not functioning...
uh oh... i hate when that happens
hmmm. jellen, chog seems stuttery today...is that the problem?
You know the first rule of computer problems, turn it off then on again
Oh no, Jilly...it won't even turn on...
Or off...
what kind of laptop?
HP
depress the button firmly for a while
hmm these are good ones how old?
ouch!! NOT good.. *waves magic wand over Jellen's laptop*
Did that, lynxxx
Pretty new, 9 months, maybe...
shld still be covered by warranty
whew, under warranty still then?
Hope so...
where did u get it from?
Best Buy, I think...
then they shld be able to help.. if its been less than a year
Or Walmart...It's terrible...Can't remember...
I saved the receipt somewhere...
best buy will fix it for reasonable price if bought elsewhere
I've got some local folks who aren't too expensive...
id use them instead... best buy tends to make you wait a long time
sometimes cos....some repairs require parts that the computer companies won't sell other retailers....but they will look at it atleast!
thats true jill
Computers and cars...just want them to work!
i had probs with my acer laptop and the company paid for shipping both ways... all i had to do was ship it cod to them and they fixed it
so maybe u shld look into that?
Will do...
that's what I had to do with my Dell....
brb...need a beverage...
so do i! brb as well
pepsi -- nectar of the gods
Coke..all the way..sorry cos..
Sweet tea...
haha :)
double blegh Jellen, sorry, like my tea straight!
love sweet tea too. but mcdonalds sweet tea is ucky
It's an acquired taste...
Coke - really? Saw what it did to a friend of mine
Our son lives in Virginia and makes his own...could not wrap my tastebuds around it whan out there....no go!!
Well, have given up all carbonation to prevent calcium leaching from bones...of a 'certain age' you know!!
Couple of large bottles a day (worked in demolition) = overweight and now bad diabetic, older before his time
diet coke lynxx...only..
i really do need to cut back on pop
I drink Coke and Pepsi, in moderation...
isn't there a problem with the artificial sugar in Diet Coke?
and again, i repeat, really rare to even have one anymore...
ill brb.. have to dust and clean my cats hairballs :(
lol, can you tell I have reached an age where all those innocent indulgences have all accumulated!
Later, cos...
see ya l8r cos!!
I'm off too - to walk and go to gym to get some of the weight off that has accumulated after years of sitting behind a desk - now borderline diabetic
Bye, lynxxx

I'm sure someone will figure out how!
lol

{{Une}} hello and thanks
hey mom :-)
ty peri I'm off now for a bit see you all later
bye bye Westford
Any tips about understanding these clues for a newbie?
thanks Peri
ty Une, fireworks, bye for now
Welcome Quillkdc
bye bye Peri
quill, the clue Peri gave for the un 7 ... un +zo 5/22
Still makes no sense to me... I'm clearly really out of it.
Peri, the un7/56 is not zo5/22
zo 5 (number of letters) 22 (points)
quill, did you click on lickety's babble clues?
zo5/22 means that the word starts with zo, has 5 letters, and scores 22 pts.
where do I find them?
go to the bottom of this page
Hi Jillibus
below the stats in Friends of Babble
look at friends of babbles.. top middle column
Hi all!
thanks all
I had better scoot off here and get the kitchen cleaned. Good night everyone. {{Hugs}} to all of you
Quillkdc, hope you'll be back tomorrow
bye mom!
hi&bye MOM!
Quill, did you miss my previous post to you about AngelSong's Babble Page?
bye bye Jillibus
{{LilMonkey}} so good to see you. Bye for now
hi jilli. Didn't see you come in!
I just emerged from the grid, nef ;)
and hi monkey!
{{Nef}} so good to see you. Before I scoot off here, how are you and Mr. Nef?
hi jilly nef and everyBabble
Hi all.
Hi monkey and Mom and whoever else I missed. I hid the chat for a while so I could concentrate on the grid, but we had supper instead
hi wht
how are things with you Nef?
Hi Wht
hello wht
fireworks
16 to go here. Trying to fill in the Rs...
congrats Trentsnana
YAY trentsnana

YAY trentsnana! WTG!!!

wtg trent
Nope, she's back for clinic with me tomorrow
oh good.
hope to see you again soon, Nef. Bye for now
bye Mom
Does anyone have a clue for the first in5. My monkeys worked well yesterday but seem to be taking tonight off.
to 5/14?
to5.14 is another way to spell the to4/6
ah thanks wht
sorry, wht. I don't have it yet (but am hunting)
25 left.
in5 -- in + what you might put in your car if you banged into something
brb -- dryer yelling...
Hi, everyone...and J, if he's here :)
Yes, other J - present and accounted for. ;)
newbie question, what does NBT mean?
jilli, that's in6. wht is looking for in5
'No Blank Tiles.'
ahh, got it
Hi NB. How are you doing these days?
oh good ;) nice to see you back! missed you around here..
Hi NB. How are you.

Who, me?
This is all starting to make sense to me...
ty buffgirl
Glad to hear thatr Quill! :-)
I think I need a fish slap for that.
Keeping alright, ta :) been super busy lately...and you?
Of course you ;)
un 5/22 ?
I'd hate to tell you how many wrong ways I tried spelling that in5, wht
Ah, yes. It's been so long since we've seen one another or spoken, J. ;) Terrible.
I believe it nef. I monkeyed all around it myself
nm
I haven't gotten through the u's yet cosdem
found it anyway :)
cos, so don't keep the rest of us in suspense, can you give us a clue as to what you found?
Quite ;) I had very nearly forgotten what you looked like...
un 5/22 - to come together
:P
Thank you for that, cosdem.
yw
cosdem is a cutie pie
ty cos. I was trying to figure something out with the other high point tile. The best I could come up with was unzen. :^) I think that would make a good word but Enable didn't think so.
:-)
haha i came up with unzen too.. i typed that like 500 times!
Is he, lil*monkey? Hmmm. Let's see...
click on his pic
Ah yes. Not bad at all. ;)
lol :-P
lil*monkey is a cutie pie
I did. Very nice - if he takes compliments from poofters?
i'm a poofter lol
what is a poofter
i learned what that means last week watching billy elliott
Ah. :) Nice to meet another - don't worry, you're safe. I'm a happily attached poofter. ;)
Brit slang, Lil. For a person of, say, my persuasion.
lol yes nice to meet you too.. :)
And mine...
And cosdem's too, apparently!
Ooh. You straights might be outnumbered at the moment?
we rock lol
We do. ;)
It looks like the ladies might have to share the cabana boys tonight.
Are you also 'Con Dem', cosdem?
con?
as in conservative?
Ha. That's OK. I have my own - although he's upstairs snoring at present.
mine's at work now...
No. Hmmm. There is a 'Con Dem' on Yahoo - found by searching on your player name. Is that you?
oh no...
howiekent on yahoo
Ah. Are you on there? Oh, OK...
You have an invite. ;)
confirmed
I see that. :) I think Jesse may have sent one also?
You'll find some Babblers you may recognise there.
hmm dont see a jesse yet
Now you do ;) sorry, I'm a Jesse...
lol i just got it
Don't mind my new status message, cosdem. ;)
ugh you're both in the UK. it's my dream to go there
Why 'ugh'? We have to be somewhere. Might as well be here as anywhere, I suppose. Someone has to be.
ti7,28 please
ugh b/c i'm jealous :)
dont have that yet wht
20 words left!
Awww. Why?
b/c im in love with the UK -- or at least my image of it
I'd love to visit the states. Though JC knows how much I love England ;)
and i want to be hyacinth bucket's neighbor lol
Ah. Only because you've never been and aren't from here, probably. Grass is always greener? Well actually it probably is. It's all the rain. :P
Help with en7/48??
Hyacinth Booooooooooooquet!
:) yes
more of the cheap metal, wht
Bouquet. :P So she says. We know better though.
the one whose sister has a mercedes, sauna and room for a pony
en 7/48 is an intestinal parasite
Well! What a joy to come back here and see Nancy Boy and JC!
Yes. Hello, Jilli! :)
Jill? Go to my page, connect with 'Howie'. :)
ty lbd
That is cosdem...
en7, first 3 letters of the word for go in + mixed up place to see wild animals + vowel
ok...
Hey, Jill! Pleasure to see you too :)
Yes, cosdem - now those people I would get along with. They're much more fun. ;)
lol.. brb .. dog needs to go potty
Wow. I actually got that clue - thank you lbdawger!
Thanks! If I am understanding this right I have nbt!!
Fireworks
Congrats, wht!!!!!
wtg Quill
What does fireworks mean?
{{{{JESSE!}}}
YAY, wht! WTG!!!
And good for you, Quill! Fireworks is what you see when you complete the grid
Fireworks means that you have finished the grid. When you do, there is a fireworks display where the tile stats are.
Hmmm.
Yoohoo cosdem -- I just contacted you :)
and HOLA to you too JC! xoxo
Hello, hello :) good to see you!!
Ah. Well that's a little better...
Hi saintfranny!
back. just confirmed ya jill
Hello, saintfranny - it's been a while!
Welcome back, cosdem! :)
thanks, cos!
What was that Yahoo! ID again?
Hi Jilli :) Yes, JC, it has... glad to see you on here
howiekent
See my lastest updates, franny? The new blog/photo?
Hai hail, the gang's all here (almost)
Took that with my iphone camera and uploaded it right after - finally figured out how to use it. :P
Ohhh my gosh yes - they are ADORABLE.. I wish i could give them a squeeze!
I bought a glittery cover for my iphone on the Camden markets - then couldn't use the camera because I couldn't get the case off. :P
Tut. And you've had that iphone for how long? :P
Ha - I often encounter such hurdles
I know. The shame of it. Well...since the day after your teling me all about yours convinced me to get one as you know, Jesse. ;)
Erm... 'telling' even. :P
i have 16 left. i dont want to get fireworks so soon... its a long time til 11pm :)
How could I forget that, cosdem? I live in Kent. :P
<- Blonde. Even if it is out of the bottle.
lol.. thats where my family is originally from
just watching TV news -- a young man in Shanghai playing the piano beautifully...with his feet because he has no arms.
small world, cosdem. Hello there, btw - have heard word of you. Will connect with you on Yahoo if you don't mind
Wow. How could anyone have such dexterity and control - with toes?!
I can't even play a piano with my fingers. :P Perhaps my nose would work a little better?
Yes - see the update on my page, franny.
You can find him through that.
Oh no Jill, that's just how we do it in Asia ;) that's pretty incredible?! I'd have to see it to believe it. I can play with my hands but that's my limit..
Practice makes perfect? He's only been playing for 3 years, too. Got first prize on China's Got Talent!
Ah yes. Of course, Jesse. :P
I want to see you use chopsticks that way.
Sure, NB, Asians are special, lol!
I'm pretty proud that I can use chopsticks at all, honestly ;) took a while for me to learn. They aren't logical.
LOL Jill. You'd better believe it ;)
I've been able to use chopsticks for as long as I can remember! Must be because I was born in Peking, lol.
I've got 2 nice sets of chopsticks that we got as wedding favours at a Chinese friend's wedding a few years back - but I can't seem to master it. Maybe cuz I'm left handed, I don't know.
Sigh...being born in Korea didn't make me good at it ;) I must have always been destined to come to the UK.
Whereas you, NB, are just too reoriented (ahem) to the UK.
or is that deoriented?
Hello everyone. This is a whole group I have not connected with in a long time. How great is that
more like disorientated. I still fail to find my way around London ;)
Doesn't everyone (except taxi-drivers)?
Hi bugsy!!!
Hi, Bugs!
Hi NB and Jilli. I hope you are both well and happy today
LOVE your icon, bugs!
thanks. I don't mind your chore yet but everything is getting heavier...
bugs, I'd rather run to the dryer than iron ANYTHING.
So I need to go. Does anyone need clues before I go?
just arrived wht, but thanks
If I weren't the President of the Procrastinators' Society of the Universe my loads of paper for recycling wouldn't be so heavy, lol!
Oh wht -- sorry -- didn't know you'd finished this nasty piece of work. Congrats!
I have 9 left and will muddle through eventually.
I finished while you were out. No problem.
I will see you folks tomorrow. Happy Babbling.
Bye wht. Congrats
brb. Dryer again...
i tried to join the procrastinators club..problem was i never got around to sending in the membership form;))
happens to most of us crossy
i kind of like being a procrastinator actually as it means there is always something to do..i have not been bored since 1994;)
I don't consider myself a procrastiner
but I just don't get around to things.
sort of like how long it took me to finish this sentence.
HI
i was just thinking that
howdy herin
hi herein
How goes it
so far so go
so far so good, I mean
I need to get up and hang up laundry and turn the heating back on
lovely icon herein
That is my sisters
we do not turn the heat on till there is a scrim of ice in the toilet bowl;)
makes one reall regular real fast;0
That is because you are bears Crossie
I like that one crossy. We just put furry covers on the seat
good lord crossy....
you have not lived toll the toilet seat is the same temperature as the inside of your freezer
You Canadiens are a hardy lot!
wake up call eh?
That is why you get heated loo seats like in Japan
Hi Stidg and Jilly
lol,is not bad now,but when we used to live up north as kids,you would never want to be the first one up in the morning
Hi herinfernallady! Happy to see you!
first one up had to run across that ice cold floor,stoke the wood stove and had to put on the water to boil
Hi Herin, how be thee?
Cold
Not too bad here, no ice in the toilet anyhoo...lol
when it was that cold for me I just moved by bed beside the wood stove and kept the wood underneath the bed. That way I only had to stick one arm out until the air was warmer
I don't think I was Canadian in a previous life
indeed
then by 1o am the stove was throwing out so much heat,it was not uncommon so see all the kitchen window open even though it was minus 30 outside lol
O dear I do not want to watch the Indian Games. This is terrible
if they do not fix up the athlete villiage,it may not matter..no one will show up
do you mean the COommonwealth games herein?
bbl..son on phone
Yes
They are using child labor
the canadians have been told to hold off for now till they see if things improve
I heard on the news there are lots of hygeine issues too. Some of our athletes didn't go
I for one will be avoiding it.
I think India bit off more than it could chew. Very sad to see the shambles.
we have 255 people all set,but not if things stay the way they are
I know that the hygiene is an issue but that can be cleaned. It is the child labor that pisses me off. THat and I was reading a report that the laborers are using any were to go to the bathroom so that shows there is no standards of building or facilities for workers
so many have died because of unsafe labour practices over there building that mess
from all the reports i have read today,if i were an athlete,i would pull out
They had them here in BC in the early 90's. I took my kids who were in elementary school then and they were thrilled. The athletes said it was the first time they were treated as if they were famous so huge numbers of them set personal best records
I personally don't know why they chose there or Africa for the soccor
does anyone remember the other runner for location?
not me
Canada
they should of come here
I agree
Ontorio
Pardon my poor spelling
It makes sense since BC and Montreal have both hosted major Olympic games recently.
It makes sense NOT to use an impoverished country just to exploit their poor even more.
montreal was a bit of a mess ,but we did bc very well
I think the hope was that it would create work and standards for Africa and India but it kind of backfired on them
hell,most are only making 1.25 a day
they are stuck in that caste system of thiers
Is the other 8 TR?
supposedly, they have done away with the caste system crossy.
(bullfrog on that one Bugs)
I am not sure it will ever be non existant, but their is a black man as president in the US
that why when paul simon did his amazing graceland record,he was very carefull to pay any african he hired 3 times the normal U.S rate
Is the other 8 a TR olease?
I only have 1 8 so far
i work with a hindu fella..things have not changed,his is an arranged marriage and his father house in india has low caste people working for almost nothing.if you are not born to a good name..your relegated to the low end
Hello, there is a tr8
Hi Jellen. Thanks
I agree crossy, but it would have been nice if the construction in India was run by someone assigned by the Commonwealth committee so they could have used this project as a way to teach another way. Unless people have a new way to do things, nothing can change on its own
any clue on taht?
i was chatting with him and his brother one day and his wife was running the till for a bit,i cannot remeber what we were discussing,but i said well ask your wife so we can get a womans view on this and he said quote "a woman from my country has no view,it is mans work" i was stunned ,as they have been over here 8 years now...
No clue from me...I don't have it
Crossie of corse
I don't have the tr8 yet.
how sad, crossy
hello mother, I just logged in and down to 143 already!

ta
THis dang grid has 30 min to not such then I am going
All for me. I got over 100 words and that's not all too bad. Have good days (or nights, depending.)
Night StidG
Goodbye, stidgmere
good night, stidg. I'm quitting soon myself
YAH. I found that i can balance my coffee mug on the couch and hold it with my foot so I eat and play and have a warm foot
hi everyone!
Hi, lbd!
very talented, herin!
hi Jellen! how ya doing?
I would end up spilling if I tried that herin. I managed to spill my coffee at a state meeting todaywhen it was sitting on a regular table!
I'm okay, lbd...not been a particularly good day, but not the worst
hi lbd
hi nef! there are going to be good days and bad days, Jellen. take them one day at a time. (((HUG)))
O Jellen Hugs
Lb Iam siting crossed leg on the couch.
i'd be paralyzed if i did that, herin. let alone trying to balance anything!
good advice, lbd. (((Jellen)))
*hugs everyone back*
how's DH doing, Nef? is he escaping the house with his wheelchair?
LB my ex used to sit knee to knee with his legs out. to get more room in class
evening all
hi Dan!
Hi dan
can I have a clue for the E for NBT?
let me join in...((Jellen))
Hi, dan
he's doing well, lbd. He's been a bit lonely for the past 2 weeks as I've had to work full time; but when I asked him why he didn't go out on his scooter, he hadn't thought of that
hi Dan
dan...en5 ...intestinal parasie
en + not from + place where wild animals are seen in cities (first two letters) + vowel
en7/48
ty all
sorry about the typo,,,en7 it is.. heading to pb..
lol at DH, nef.
Jilly, why are you going to the pb?
brb
i think Jilly's looking for the cabana boys! lol
bad clue...lol
yay baby!!
lbd, *sometimes* the neurons just don't click.
do you think if you left him a list of things he can do whilst your away, that will help him?
lbd, he loses them! I've tried daily lists; even used the dry erase board by the door but I think he loses them on purpose. :-)
but I won't complain because of how far he's come in the past several months
ahh, will have to come up with some other id4's...subliminal messages sent to him in his sleep
i know, Nef. I'm just teasing. he has done a remarkable recovery
I've tried calling him and asking him to do things; some days that works. I'm just happy that he's starting to cook again (although hot dogs and boxed scallop potatoes are a far cry from the gourmet meals he used to make)
he'll get there again, nef. although i'd hide the hot dogs! gag
and *sometimes* I think he "forgets" on purpose, you know? ;-)
ahhh, selective memory!
In defense of people accused of having selective memories, sometimes we do honestly forget!
it's like hubz selective hearing, til i busted him with an audiologist!
yeah, my dtr. went shopping and came home with all these strange, chemical preserved packaged food
that sounds...scary
Jellen, I understand that forgetfulness can be real. But why does he "forget" some of the most obvious things?
Guess I am going to have to give up on grid at 35 left...monkeys exhausted, cannot find any of them...really frustrated!!
there's forgetting and there's not wanting to do something so you "forget" to do it.
I don't know how I do it, but I do!
whatcha need, Jilly?
And lbd, it sounds like you really caught your hubz!
Yes, ask, Jilly! I probably need them, too!
where to start??fi7/40
i think a lot of times our minds are focused on too many things and some things are just going to be forgotten. that's not necessarily selective
ad6 please
ho7/32?
a fish with a lot of fi*s is fi7
Jellen, right now I think many people who are greiving become forgetful. Also if under too much stress or too many things going on at once/
ad + (not an verb or adjective)
ty jilly
ho7...randy, realy sexually excited.
Thanks, Jilly and lbd
from the ho4/5?
yup, make it more so, Jilly
got it tyvm...still not getting the fishy one...must be really dense tonight!!
Jilly, fish use fi*s to "steer" with
fish have gills and fi*s to guide them thru the water, make it more so
Maybe fi7 is more like a person from Fi*land
fi + double con + more so ending
whew!
