He also volunteers with Friendship Circle, a Chbad-sponsored organization that connects teens with children or other teens with disabilities. Fred has been a mentor to a young man with autism. He's also helping in a food bank.
I couldn't do it. I packed up my computer and got it out again. I am a true addict.

Thanks, Dee!

LOL Dee I finally got it!
is that a mime micro wave?
have a great day / eve all *poofing with hugs*
sounds like fun dee !!
nbt
hi jellen
and wtg !!
Not a Marcel wave -- that was done with sort of long clamp things -- was before my time -- imagine that!
oh I think I know what you mean jilli all the Stars had hair do like that back in the 20's
missed dee's and anike's fab finish -- congrats! And bye!
I only remember being hooked up! thought it was sort of clamps
yes, flosey, but not the same. Marcel waves were not rolled.
bye jilli hope to see you again soon
did anyone ever get shocked?
No -- I'm not leaving -- was saying bye to anile and dee, lol!
I don't know, but it got hot.
I thought it was rather sudden lol
don't know about shocked but I do believe there may have been occasional burn?
I remember my mother putting the curling iron in the gas burner to heat it up
I'm leaving, though...relatively busy day tomorrow! Happy hunting, all!
I had the most gorgeous banana curls
goodnight Jellen
good night jellen have you made a sizable dent?
is that like ringlets, west?
g'night jellen!
yes just like Nellie on Little House on the Prairie
Nope, not a sizable one...but enough for me!
I need help remembering a word - not in the grid -- the lower case d with a crossbar on the vertical stroke ??
I remember thinking Shirley Temple had natural curls, duh.
sorry, Christine, no idea
one day at a time jellen don't exhaust yourself
is that from an old alphabet Christine ( and hello )
Yes - a friend asked if I knew what it's called and my mind went blank. I thought edth? but that's not it, and it's fdriving me crazy - it's just on the endge of my brain.

I just googled "d with stroke through"
I looked for diacritic marks, thinking that would find it ... I'll look for d with stroke through. Thank you, all.
Christine -- I just gave you the link!

Thank you so much -- if I can clue anything before I skedaddle just say so!

no thanks meliss still have too many
Yes, thanks to a little help from flosey :)
YAY melissa!!
and nice flosey!!!
would we find any of your recordings on YouTube, Melissa?
hi again m9 -- so what happened in the desert? :(
Yes actually -- not sure you can post urls here?
ah nice pic jilli!
well.. my sister's guy had diabetes... and had gotten to the point where they were talking amputation
But I could stick it in my profile!
lol, m9 ;)
I'll look later
good idea, melissa
and during a...what's that called.... dialasis!
he got a bad staph infection..
dialysis
thanks Melissa, will look
so.. hospital stuff..it was just not pretty. At dialasis he'd see people with amputations. He figured once they start lopping off parts of you, they just keep lopping more..and he didn't want to go that way.
(thank you for the spelling)
oh m9, how awful
they'd always dreamed of going to the desert and panning for gold..
poor guy!
so.. they sold the place, bought an rv and from my brother's wedding they drove off..
they were out in the hills (if you can call them that) near Winnamucca when he fell. And she couldn't get him back into the bed in the rv. and she knew he wasn't doing well..
and even though that's how he wanted to go.. it occurred to her..
it might not be so easy to explain..driving out of the desert with a dead guy.
so.. she piled pillows all around him and drove as carefully as she could into the town.
omg!
she knew he didn't want to go to the hospital..
and she didn't know how to find hospice..
so she went to the store and asked if they knew where the LDS church was (she's an inactive member of the church..was baptized a while ago, but never really solid)
and the checker said.. "hey! We have someone here who goes to that church." Phone calls were made. Within minutes the bishop and the relief society pres were having a confab in the store parking lot..LOL
wait.. I have this out of order. she got medics first..
and...?
but told them he didn't want to go to hospital.
and they actually got her a hotel room so she'd be more comfortable. Very nice people in Winnamucca.
then the store.
then the hospice lady came.
and he died. and the hospice lady was also the coriner or something.. and she kept the police part down to a minimum...
(cause someone dying in a hotel room usually causes a bit of a ruckus)
My goodness!
did all this happen recently m? how is your sister doing?
and she suggested the mortician from the next town over.. so he came. and then the Relief society president from the church said that they had an rv hookup in their yard and my sister was welcome to stay there
no.. it was 2 years ago.
I posted a few links to my profile. Thanks for asking about that, flosey. I'll toodle off now so no pressure if you listen and go blech! Thanks again for your help -- and be well everyone.
lovely people
and even though she was with very nice people.. I thought it would be nice for her to have family (and my brother agreed with me.. he had lost his wife just a couple years before that)
thanks Melissa, look forward to hearing them
thank you meliss loved the Judy Garland movie
How awful for your sister, and how kind those people were!
So me and the oldest and the youngest got in the car after church and drove through the night and got there in the morning still in our church clothes!LOL
Yes, it's terrific! And we love those Harvey Girls from the past -- they were some amazing women!
and they had a lovely breakfast for us.
we all slept on their trampoline. and we were able to go with my sis to pick up his ashes.
Wow, m9!
coming out of the desert she had lost what we referred to as the "poop pipe" off her rv...
she kept talking about the place where they stayed at the end there.. and I could tell she needed some closure on that place of some sort.. so I suggested we go look for the poop pipe.
she was very happy about the idea of showing me the place. and then we were going to camp on the way back to the lovely couple's.
we found the site.. and collected some amazing quart rocks.
and we even found the poop pipe!
and then driving out...we got a flat.
I had just got the van used not long before that.. and I had a hard time remember how to get to the spare..
What an adventure!
hi and nbt
we had seen all these vans go by a bit earlier.. but they had quit..and we figured it had been some sort of mine crew or something.. it was getting dark in the desert... and then lo and behold! a jeep!
hi and wtg josh
it was this really good looking guy with a scottish accent!
and I figured out how to get the spare..but there was no jack! and he had a HUGE jack. and he fixed it and we were on our way!
and I figured out how to get the spare..but there was no jack! and he had a HUGE jack. and he fixed it and we were on our way!
oops.. didn't see what time it was..
some hiccups are more substantial than others
no prob
that was quite an adventure m9

Hi sprite!
G'night flosey -- well done! I have 54 left.

thanks flosey, here are some more i've tried: fredj, frawj
good night flosey let me know what you think of the video

yes, pls do, west
can i have one last clue for my last one please: the re6/18 before binding up again?
I thought you were off to watch part of the harvey girls....
yes, German, but derived from common old language. It means alien. In dutch it would be spelled VREE plus the last 2 letters.
i haven't started the re's! (shudder)
I was m that's why I was so surprised
I'd like to see melissa's link pls...
http://www.youtube.com/user/theharveyg irls

fabulous icon pics, by the way, flosey, sprite, wes and jilli - you northern hemisphere girls with your peachy, un-sun-spotted skin...(*gort blushes greenly with envy)
I don't know if one of the guys is melissa
why thank you gort
*blush* thanks gort
well... it's interesting....
morning all....just for a little while
I'm going to post my diatribe again that just can't be it.
hi rolin
kind of catchy actually.
t's 3 guys in hoodies and pajama pants and slippers..one playing a little keyboard, one playing a snare drum, one holding a drum like they do in a marching band and an acoustic guitar that appears now and then with 'this machine kills itself' sign on it..oh and they are all wearing what looks like hockey masks
thanks, gort, but if you refresh you'll see my icon clue instead, lol!
oooh sprite...youve turned into a grid..lol
lol rolin! It was bound to happen some day...
bob dylan's guitar used to have "this machine kills fascists" on it if i recall correctly
that clip is rather fun!
in that case, jili, i will never refresh ;)
I agree m but I thought it would be a group of women dressed like the Harvey Girls in the movie singing in harmony
indeed sprite ..such is the power of babble..lol
lol!
josh I saw Bob Dylan once and was too far away to read his guitar
righto, dinner's not cooking itself again, so toodle pip
almost saw him twice but he didn't show up
sorry, wasn't bob dylan - was woody guthrie
haven't seen dylan. saw arlo guthrie though.
woody always was more outwardly political
bye gort, enjoy dinner

Hello! Nice grid so far.
it is, good words and the last part is challenging
Uh oh. You mean it's difficult, don't you? Still, we are not downhearted, we've faced down grids before.
so far not difficult, just a challenge to think up new words that might fit
I just hate it when Sprite says challenging - read near impossible for the rest of us
don't be silly, you may fly through it while I have a stupid day.
I'm still at the nice stage where words are queuing up to be entered. The 'challenging' stage is where you scour the horizon for a single word to show up.
gm haz, friend is trying to fix washing machine....water everyplace!
both are nice stages
Hi Lynxx & Haz.
hi Soodle
Hello, ruby. Does the friend know what he/she is doing?
Hello, Soodle.
at least he got the water out, which was a big improvement
he is very handy; I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I think it has to be replaced
I must tell you a story about a young vet. First day on the job he was sent to a farm, arrived there, was told he was late. He apologised, got his waterproofs on, asked what was the matter, was told 'something wrong at the back end'. He concluded he was going to see a calf with scour. He was conducted to the back door of the house to find a very cross wife with a washing machine in bits. He'd got the wrong house and didn't know who was more confused, him or the people who wondered why a washing machine repairman needed full waterproofs and welly boots..
thank you for making me smile, haz, maybe I need a vet!
rofLOL!
Oh, the vet in this house knows his limitations! Hope you get it sorted, ruby.
that is beautiful story :D I wouldn't even be surprised to see someone in waterproofs... I'd think it wise, working with washing machines...
And it being his first day, the waterproofs would have been nice and clean.
I want to ask how vets clean their waterproofs - I hope they throw them out.
true, that. Just finished reading the 2nd james herriot, All things bright and beautiful. Old times for vets, of course, but I bet doctoring fa4 animals is still a dirty job.
They're too expensive to throw out! They're washed down with hot water and disinfectant and then hung up to dry. Things like plastic sleeves are disposable, thank goodness. You're right, sprite, it is a very dirty job at times, more especially the large animal side of things.
dirty, but beautiful. A vet really makes a difference in the world.
BBS need to see if this pastry can be rolled out (think I overworked it), making asparagus quiche, well trying to anyway
It's like any other job in that there are moments of victory and satisfaction but lots of hard graft and boredom at times as well. We always say it's a lifestyle rather than just a job.
Asparagus quiche sounds good!
We should be speaking in rhyme in honour of all the verse-writing words.
I can imagine it is. I also realise it isn't always fun. But it is making a difference. To fa7 for th5 livelihood and to pet owners for th5 happiness. Lots of responsibilities.
thanks for those, Haz
You're welcome.
I've just realised that blissful ignorance sent me to the pb for all those agricultural words in the story!
lol yes. I bravely refrained from mentioning it
I'm grateful.
*grin* I know.
...... in motion, see her gentle sway-ay... no wave out on the ocean could ever move that way...
you got me singing
Google's great. The song wasn't familiar but google knew it. 'Poetry in motion'.
hehehe wtg Haz. An old one... I used to be into rock 'n' roll as a teenager/twin. Still love songs like that.
I know, some with really catchy tunes and with an innocence to the lyrics.
I love every movement there's nothing I would change she doesn't need improvement she's much too nice to rearrange...
exactly, that is it.
we had this old-style rock 'n' roll dance school, called Happy Days, where we went for a couple of years. Even won a first prize once. Loads of fun back then :)
And did you wear the big skirts and all the right clothes?
petticoats, yes :) We even shopped in secondhand shops for dresses and skirts from the 50s. I could make a really high bob from my hair.
I once witnessed people coming out of a rock and roll style wedding. They'd really gone to town with their costumes, had a cadillac etc, but the thing that really got us talking was the rumour outside the church that had the minister dressed up in a black leather jacket with Elvis style sideburns. It was only a rumour....
hehehe, I think in Vegas you can have that for real, not even a rumour.
I know - they really go to town, don't they?
yes, but from what I have seen it is business. Not much romance.
Yes, money makes Las Vegas go around.
we sometimes watch CSI Las Vegas and I told my kids who are the real winners in Vegas, every hour and every day... the banks.
fireflies. A lovely grid, not too difficult but still with a bite.
Well done!
congrats sprite
aw I missed lyn leaving :( Bye lyn!
thanks both of you. I don't have to ask Haz, but do you need any clue, varumba, or somebody else?
lolol..... got 15 to go.... i'll use morewords, tx :)
ok :) Good luck and lots of fun. Have a nice day all.
you too sprite xx
Bye, sprite, have a good day.
well, am actually stuck on re5/10! has any1 got it?
Do up your shoe laces again?
OMG... had the 3rd person version, didnt'even think of the other subjects verb ending!!! tx haz
No problem.
I'm going to be all disciplined and come back to this after I've got my morning chores done. Bye for now!
lol, goo don you haz ;) syl byeeee
fireworks!
hagd every1 byeeeeeeeeeeee
back for a few words but I think everybody is gone!
Hi ruby. I have just arrived.
repairman is coming tomorrow, but I think the machine will have to be replaced anyway
Hello
hello sally
hello herin!
Your washing machine? What a pain.
that's good money before bad!
If I disappear I am up in the hills. Ruby I had no machine for 6 months then mine spat out the bra boning and it worked
friend came and got the water out but it still won't work; hopefully it's just the security catch on the door and can be fixed.
rofl herin.
bra boning? from whales? hahah
No.
husband is in a snit, doesn't want to spend the money on a new machine. Is more worried because satellite is out for his favorite series.....grrrr
O speaking of funny
they used to use the cartilege from whales for 19th c corsets, that's how Scarlett O'Hara got such a small waist
please, tell me something funny
OK. So we are driving along in teh hire car then suddenly nothing. Himself is driving and I am snoozing and he goes ''oh shit'' I am all huh what huh''/ We run out of petrol 3 ks outside of town
how was the weather at that moment? I hope you don't say "buckets"
(half!)
Where are you herin, you on holiday?
Yep.
It is a bit chilly but seems to rain when we are in
The person that had the car previous to us was very rude and returned the car on empty. Not empty like 100ks left but flat empty it turns out. We put $10 in before it even went a bit above empty on the gauge
herin went to Tasmania for the we*****!
Oh, ty for the 7 ruby!
Yep. O where I thought you said something else. Sorry. Yes we are on holidays in Tasmania for my dads birthday total suprise
yw, it is so rare for me to provide a clue!
Always thought Tasmania sounded great. Our one trip to Oz we didn't get that far down.
It is lovely
Thanks Ruby
Hi Christine - are you there?
Guess my big sister is sleeping or reading instead of playing.
it must be really exotic, even coming from Australia which is pretty exotic to me!
Have you ever been to Australia ruby?
IT is pretty.
I have photos to put up but the problem is I have slow and unpredictable internet
Was your dad pleased with his surprise?
no, never had the opportunity. Besides the UK and France, most of my travelling was to Japan, Belgium and SA for biz
a little bit of the rest of Europe with first husband, but nothing exotic like Australia
how many people were present when the surprise happened?
TASMANIA is wonderful, been their twice and would lurve to relocate there
Not been to Japan or SA. Would quite like to visit Japan some day, but not on the top of the list at the moment!
is it still relatively unspoiled?
Hi Diz.
Just my mum and my b.f Ruby.
hi diz
It is in some points
hey Herin!
too many people might have been overwhelming for him.....
He did the whole huh what huh OMG!!!! You devious monkey
that is so nice
and are you really a devious monkey?? hahah
It was. I am so happy. He didn't know didn't have a clue.
Was it a special birthday herin?
Diz did you go to Russel Falls at all
no Herin, where abouts is that?
It was his 70th Sally
Diz about an our out of Hobart up towards Lake Pedder
Oh wow, that is special herin. So glad you could go for him.
I have some fantastic photos I need to check but due to slow arse net
nah I'm mainly up top end when I go to Tassie, tho I did manage Port Arthur....dtr is in Devonport
Port Arthur is amazing
lurve Cradle Mountain area
Not been up there
Port Arthur was amazing but very spooky to me
Oh, good, see while chatting I now have 102, 90 to go.
good one Sally
Likely to slow down now :-(
I have 104, sally, but not the long ones: only 1 8 and 7 7's
It is very spooky
I am just pottering
the good news is that, for once, I got them on my own!
why is Port Arthur spooky?
Only 1 8 and 6 7s so far for me.
Well you led me to one of the 7s and the 8!
Port Arthur is the old convict site
Got all the rest on my own.
And pb for ruby of course.
and horribly the site of mass murders several years ago
Hello again
Good morning all. It's Friday and there is scotch in the grid. It's gonna be a good day. : )
hi Molly
Hi Lynxx.
Hi Lynxx.
Hi Molly. Lynxx that is never mentioned by guides they don't want to acknowledge the cruelty he inflicted on innocent people
Ruby, a d!ck decided to shoot all and sundry a few yrs back and they have a memorial there to commemorate the victims.
is that a promise, molly?
It's a solemn good wish Ruby.
how awful! it's like Columbine or Virginia Tech
a solemn good wish is bankable! Thank you, Molly
yep Ruby, along those lines.....
haz - can I ask you a pet related question?
ruby, I have another 8. Add a vowel at the beginning of the word you led me to
Think Haz has gone to do chores.
ty, sally, I should have known that from sailing
Probably practising her darning skills.
oh it hadn't updated and I think haz has gone :(
Hi Katie
hi katie
I'm having kitty problems
Hi everyone
TY Sally
hi Katie
What is wrong Katie?
kitty problems?
we have a stray which is coming into the house, we have been feeding him in the garden. unfortunately our cats have taken in very badly and Ruby is now messingin the lounge. we have put out cat litter and are putting in a microchip activated cat flap so he can't come in anymore but we don't know what to do about the stray.
I love that your cat is named Ruby. I think that Ruby and Max are the most common pet names
Do cats need to be registered with your council?
Try the cats protection league? They have been very helpful about strays. They will lend you a cage to catch the stray in.
Must dash for a bit, husband back from doctor.
we are not sure he is a stray, and we don't just want to stop feeding him in case he is starved. we are thinking of catching him and scanning him at the vets to see if we can get a microchip reading and if not then rehoming him but it is how to catch him without stressing out the others
Make sure that the cat you have is going to be rehomed with a non kill shelter if its mummy and daddy can't be found
Sally - that is a fantastic idea! The microchip catflap is a God send as our's will not wear collars
don't worry herin I will
I am sick of having to clean up though. So far we have had to wash rug, curtains and clean the sofa 4 times
right I'd better go to my meeting. Thanks for the help!
Katie Try a cat catcher or put food in an open shed or such with beding for kitty
jera
who paid your membership Infernal
Membership??? What did I do?
You were after the j word?
I was but I see I failed
I did find it
hi babblers
hi Shady
Shadylady
hey lynxxx, herin, long time
Been busy hope you are better
very long time - you have been busy?
you could say so
good to have you backl
can i just say for a second that life is not all it's cracked up to be?
Shady never is but the point is keep trying and if you fail get up and keep trying again.
i do herin, just tired
It does get better
good morning! I am excited. I have my next book project in mind
any clues, angel?
hi Angel
Hi Angel
it gets better when, exactly? if i told you my last few months, you would think i was making it up
I have a close friend whose life story is very similar to mine, with differences that mesh welll with mine, and we are going to write a dual autobiography
It seems to have been a very bad year for a lot of our dear friends in the States
Hello, back again to round up the remaining playing hard to get words.
my husband hit me, i had to kick him out, the next day the air conditioner broke, in Louisiana, in August, I got a loan for that, then my cat died, need any more?
wb Haz
Oh Shady - dont know you but good and kind thoughts and friendship coming to you from New Zealand.
O poor kitty.
Did the quiche rise to the occasion, lynxxx?
AND I have to add that if he hits you then get him out (usless twat hitting a woman)
So that is your 3 things - all bloody awful! - now hopefully it will get better for you Shady
Just going to check now Haz BBS
Fingers crossed, lynxxx.
scary thing is i spent all of july and august trying to get fixed, now scared i might also have failed at that
thanks for listening, see you guys
Takecare shady
Back.
Hi
Hello, Sally.
Hi Haz
Hi Haz. Gather you have practising being a good housewife :-)
Yes. One of these days I'll crack it.
tsk! have -> sb have /been/
I never will crack that one.
Life's too short to polish my door knobs.
Happy sunny Friday all.
Yesterday I was on a sort of archaelogical dig. My sister-in-law has decided to have a room replastered. This involves getting the paper off and since her mother could never summon up the patience to strip off the old before putting on the new, we were taking off about 6 or 7 layers of wallpaper. Thank goodness for steamers.
Hello, FM.
Hi FM! A bit grey today, so you have our sun.
wow.
Hi FM
Bet there were some interesting patterns revealed Haz and hello Sally and herin.
I have an archaeological dig when I tidy a room, usually when we have visitors coming.
lol
If by interesting you mean hideous - then yes.
I was being polite I admit.
I like how someone I know framed the little bit of wallpapers from the house when they stripped it just for history purposes
And then when we got all the paper off, it revealed that at one time they thought bottle green paint on the bottom, a red stripe and mustard paint on top looked good.
oh yuk haz!
Leave it like that long enough and the look will come back :)
I can only imagine that it was done to be servicable, but it wasn't great.
Reminds me of a house we lived in which had gold paper with red stars on the walls, and red paper with gold stars on the ceiling. And it had had some treatment over so you couldn't steam it off!!!
Which room in the house was that in Sally?
Dear me! How did you get rid of it?
Sitting room. It was my parents' house.
Had to be removed very slowly - and very urgently!
oh my.
Back. Hi FM. Pastry was awful Haz, filling/quiche part was good though
Oh shame about the pastry lynxx.
Oh dear. You'll know for again.
Hello lynxxx
and I thought you were a domestic godess lynxx
Don't let sandyloo know that there's a chink in your perfect wife armour.
Do we know where sandyloo has gone? I haven't seen her for ages.
My mum cooked a roast tonight. It was good. Problem was she got pork which I don't eat from the store she bought
goddess - YES - domestic - not so much
That was a shame herin.
I'm more domestic than goddess.
I cooked a steak instead. My poor mum forgets I have turned into a bit more of a conscious were I buy things eater.
I'd have been very cross, I must admit.
I am very brave these days at asking if the chicken is free range in a pub or restaurant.
I really enjoy cooking but as to other domesticities - nah.
According to the press Sally we should be asking if it Hallal or not, not that they would probably nkow.
I hope your boyfriend earned some brownie points and ate the roast pork Infernal?
I am not domestically challenged I am lazy
He eats everything Lynxx. He doesn't mind. I just think well be stuffed if I am supporting animal cruelty to eat it
Hallal is fine but the slaughter has to not be cruel just blessed
I am sure your Mum will forgive you
Yep she liked the fact I ate veggies
Don't think I would go that far FM. However, I did see some wonderful looking Scotch eggs in my local butchers (I adore Scotch eggs); they make those things on the premises (she says being careful to stay out of the pb) but when I asked, said they were farm eggs, not free range, so I didn't buy one.
Being careful hasn't been enough, Sally. (fa4)
Is farm eggs caged eggs? Bit different class here
Farm eggs is not necessarily caged, but could be in a barn.
I remember one domestic science class where we made Scotch eggs, they tasted so different to shop bought ones.
Oh bother!! She shouts faintly from the pb.
I had to laugh at jillibus' description of a menu she had 'fa4-picked potatoes' - what other kind are there?
Double stint for you, Sally.
Yes, I have made them and they are lovely. You must have been at my domestic science class.
what an odd expression Haz
Machine picked. Maybe she meant hand picked. Not sure wasn't privy to conversation
I know - I thought it was peculiar.
The best eggs are the ones I have just collected myself from the nest box.
Did you wear a grecian tunic too Sally? (sorry couldn't resist)
Yum, can't get any fresher than that Sally :)
I think a lot of restaurants are getting into fancy language to make things sound more appealing. Crushed potatoes, melon pearls, that sort of thing.
I just get shirty with mum that has some of the best fruit and veggies and road side stalls in season and she still buys from Woolies. Drives me batty
OnlyFM is entitled to wear the Grecian tunic.
*sigh* thanks so much friend lynxxx.
You know you're with friends, FM, when they bring up the old Grecian tunic.
Haven't got the legs for the Grecian tunic these days.
But she thinks it is ok as it is Tassie grown bah
Besides I wouldn't want to compete with FM.
FM is in a league of her own, I know.
Haz, yoiu've forgotten "nestling on" and "jus" in your restaurant menu.
LOL
Yes. Where did gravy go?
You get more if it's gravy.
gravy is too common these days aparently, it has to be a jus or a reduction.
and they can charge more for it.
What really kills me is when they try to be smart but get the spelling wrong - canopies anyone?
rofl! Have also seen quick lorraine :-)
no!
Do have some pavolva with your pavalova.
she was the sheila that dashed past
Yes, in a wine bar.
pavolva sounds like a rude part of the body.
I have icecream
LOL! Oh gotta go for a bit, window cleaner is here. back shortly.
Yes! I've seen the canopies in a restaurant that should have known better.
Did you tell them?
house cleaner AND window cleaner!
Perhaps they are very large canapes (can't do accents in the chog) and you can shelter under them.
No, I should have told them at the end of the meal, shouldn't I?
She's one spoilt FM, lynxxx. No competition in the housewife stakes at all.
VI has a good way of getting her windows cleaned. She's taught her twins to abseil from the roof.
Well, she's bringing employment to them local peasants Haz.
lol
Sport and chores rolled into one.
I wonder if the window cleaner is tall, dark and handsome.
She obviously needs the house cleaner to tidy up before the window cleaner arrives and looks through the windows.
I know!
I'd be too embarrassed to have a cleaner, I would be exhausted before they started.
We had someone house sitting last year (friends) while we were away, and it killed me, having to clean out and re-arrange all the cupboards before we went!
hello friends.
Did you find anything interesting, though?
I'm off to a job interview on Monday. I'm kind of surprised I was rung up...they could easily add 1+1 and work out how old I am. Must be desperate! I have been sending off resumes if the jobs suited me - most of the time they aren't even acknowledged. God - if I get an offer I would really have to think about it!
Hello, Trif.
hi Trif
Oh, lynxxx. Would this affect babble? And Stew?
hello ladies. i love reading about cleaning for the house cleaner. I used to do that, back when I had a cleaner....
The only time I had a cleaner was when I was in halls of residence at university. Apparently I was very tidy compared to others, a fact which shook my mother to the core.
Only part-time Haz and they say hours are flexible. Stew doesn't mind sleeping on my bed for several hours and he keeps his legs crossed very well (like 13 hours one time!)
13 hours! I wonder if that's a world record? Spangle shows similar bladder control at Halloween when the fireworks are going off. Not a paw will she put over the door.
So this is why your standards are so high Haz...Your mother!
why do you have fireworks on halloween?
You mean you allow Spangle indoors at Halloween then Haz?
Fireworks and rain for Stew
Oh, my mother was incredibly houseproud - from a long line of women who loved to clean. I'm probably rubbish according to their standards.
Spangle is inside most of the time anyway, just goes out to her kennel at night.
I imagine Spangle with a permanently mournful face pressed to the window.
awww
herin, I wish you and I lived closer....we would be the best of friends, wouldn't we?
lol Sally
No, she's just used to the routine. My daughter tried to keep her inside some nights when she was staying in the house on her own, but Spangle wanted out to her own bed.
Yep Trifs.
Yep Trifs.
I heart herin
Back at you trifies
I got a word!
Back and hello Trif. Glad my domestic arrangements bring yuo hilarity :) BTW window cleaner has an incredible mullet. Thought that hairstyle went out decades ago.
That's the general idea lynxxx.
this made me think of you: http://kingrichardsfaire.net/
it's only about 20 minutes from here. God, girl, we would tear that place UP
Mullet? Thought that was a fish?
MULLET! LOLOLOL "business in the front, party in the back"
A mullet is a hairstyle with an identity crisis - short on top, long on the bottom.
Well you learn something new every day on Babble.
and his is spikey on top and dyed too. Google it Sally - you will have a laugh.
I confess, FM, we have a window cleaner and a gardener.
go outside and ask "Excuse me, have you seen 1985?"
Trifs the final day is my birthday.
oh, now that is just PAINFUL herin!
Mullet I heard that as a discription for a wedding dress the other day
lol Trif
Clues are up
Just googled, FM. lol, a chav hairstyle then.
But apart from the mullet, did he have any other redeeming features, FM?
Thanks Lickety
hi Lickety - TY!
thank you and god bless, lickety
chav?
Who's going to describe a chav for Trif.
He does the job welll and is always cheery.
Trifs: Chav is sort of like um redneck but more fake class
In a non-judgemental, kindly fashion?
sorry for being american and all....
chav - it means a spiffy dresser doesn't it?
go for it Haz ...
Doing the job well is the most important thing. And if he's cheery, all the better.
so, a person who thinks they are a higher class then they are, or pretends to be higher class?
Chav - fond of bling and labels.
A chav woman would often wear tight jeans and white high heels, lots of make-up and a bleached mullet hair style.
I dont see how a mullet would help to that aim
No, a chav doesn't pretend to be higher class.
and don;'t forget the fake tan
Oh yes, the fake tan and lots of bling jewellery.
A chav aims to be noticeable but gets noticed for the wrong reasons, if you know what I mean.
what I mean is instead of flannies and jeans they go for the fake adidas and burby
oh, okay. got it. I wonder what we call them? sounds like trailer trash maybe, or a jersey girl (new jersey, that is). In Boston, we would call them "Revere Chickens" in deference to a particular town, Revere, which seems to churn those ladies out like a factory
Often applied to people from Essex, but that won't mean anything to non-UK residents:-) And I apologise in advance to those from Essex.
on the button herin.
Yes, but we have male chavs as well. All burberry baseball caps and pit bulls.
O THink of like Sookie from Jersey Shore
Yes, and the males also have bling jewellery and fake tans.
Gods you just made me think of Peter and Jordan
i must admit, whenever I am in new york city, secondo and I head for the "purse guy" right away - the one on the corner, selling knock-offs purses on a blanket. Totally trashy, but we loooooove it. We get such a kick out of it "Are there two D's in Prada?"
heartbreaking to think Jersey Shore has made to Oz. No wonder people hate Americans
I suppose I would say chavs have money but no taste.
There was a girl on the train flashing her Versac bag. It was all open for the world to see. it was like she was saying See it is real except the lining was fabric and becoming detatched on the other side
Victoria Beckham will always be a chav, even with all her money. She can afford to buy the taste but somehow will always look chav (to me).
really, its just for fun, herin. for 20 bucks you get a nice fun bag that lasts for a while, and its all good.
Donatella Versace is probably the inspiration for many chav women.
Trifs there is those that buy fakes and don't care and then there are those taht buy fakes and pretend that it is real.
Blonde, bronzed etc.
I don't understand donatella at ALL. how she can be a purveyor of fine fashion escapes me.
I was taught when I did security how to tell the difference between fake Versace and Real
oh, TRUST me herin, we spend naught trying to pass them off as real
herin, do you get "modern family" in Oz?
I always assume that if people look at me, they will not see the tramp that I am but think I am some eccentric millionairess in disguise.
Yes. But We get the other stuff like Jersy on pay tv
Okay, time for me to hang out the laundry and then pr5/12 Spangle's perpetually mournful face away from the window and take her for a walk.
aren't you Sally!?
you had me fooled, sally
Bye Haz
have a nice walk, herin
bye Haz and Spangle
oops - haz. sorry
I have no concept of what you look like, Sally, you must post a pic sometime. Okay, off I go - byeee!
ugh. trouble moving the vowels today....need more babble fiber, I guess
I'm a Victoria Beckham fan. She appears to have worked hard along the way but reporters don't like her. I think it makes their job easy, after a bad night just write a trashy column about VB and everyone will read it. I don't just believe what I read, I need more than that.
Hi Patx.
I love that one of the online sales places had her jeans on sale. I would have bought if I was a stick creature
Bye Haz.
Hi Herin. I usually avoid chat because I will eventually start to enter words in the log. Hopeless!
I think she looks great and as for her husband - ! but she never looks as though she is having any fun
Happens to us all at some point Patx
oh hey - before I forget - need a babble survey - how much would you expect to pay to have one skirt and four pair of pants hemmed? no linings, just regular hem jobs
$100
so that's 20 per hem them?
then?
It's almost impossible to find someone to alter or mend clothes here.
$30-35.......no more than $50.
Yep - if in a shop. You need to find someone working from home
I *am* the person....I am trying to decide what to charge
I foudn someone really good in the Pennysaver.
sorry, husband came and insisted on going out to lunch because I was having such a bad morning. Now and then, he redeems himself
Work it out on an hourly basis Trif
That's really nice ruby!
awww
For me it might be cheaper to ship them over for you to mend and still be in profit.
I think I will go with $50. five items, and I did them overnight, so that seems fair enough. not ridiculous, anyway, but worth my time.
Trifs it depends if it is a plan hem like an A line skirt or a really annoying one like pleats
Got to go to shops and it's raining and I've just washed my hair, which will frizz!
I am sure you will get lots of word-of-mouth business with those prices Trif
----> passing patxx a lovely plastic hair wrap like my grammy used to sport, back in the DAY
I just read over the chog. Please tell me what is a chav?
pleated, with a tie under the chin, right?! LOL
Trif, here it is $15 an item
and good morning everyone
thanks lynxx. I figure I will get more business if I am affordable, right? if it costs a bundle, people won't get it done
bonjour une
thanks mom
{{mom}}
hey, mom :-)
Une! Hi!
you're welcome Trif.
hi Mom
Trifs I am not saying that it isn't that you can't do the stitching I am saying it works on the item
Thanks Trif but dare I own up to having one, which I put on to go to fancy dress. Boy do they make you sweat. Byeee
bonjour, ruby -- a belated congrats on the successful hubby bday gift!
it's much more here plus the seamstress moved away, probbly to a villa in the south of France like our painter!
hey, lynxxx :-)
(((Ruby, Une, Lynxxx))) hello
yes, I understood you herin, dear one
trifs, your price is a BIG bargain!
merci une
chav?
Une - did you recommend reading The Queen Noor book?
I love that babble is a place where any question can find an answer. honestly, it's better than wikipedia
You've been reading back in the chog, ruby!
no, but I saw an interview with Queen Noor where she was discussing it -- she's a fascinating lady
but nobody will tell me! besides that you'r a millionairess, sally.
Trifs the thing is I was thinking that you could shop about online
because I left so abruptly before.
Someone did here and I finally got it out from the library. A must read for the politics of the Middle East - fascinating
Hi une
howdy, herin! :-)
Time for me to scoot, not a word put into the grid yet thanks to the good chat, lunch then work is the order of the afternoon. TTFN.
Hi all. Ruby - watch this short film to see what a chav is. http://tinyurl.com/25bxpa
Think you will find the explanation in the chog ruby. Someone with money but no taste, lots of fake tan, bling jewellery, very often tight jeans and high heeled white shoes (and that's just the men).
(((Herin))) hello. I am sorry I missed chatting with you the other night
Hi jaac
hi and bye, fmitch!
chav? plaintively.....
bye FM
Hi Moooom. It is ok I am very busy

Tris you can always hunt about locally to see what they charge
raofl! ty sally
hello Jac
agreed, herin
siesta now, see you later
{{poof}}
hey, jac, didn't see you come in!
I would personally pay $10 to get someone to hem my jeans, the same for Aline and probably $15 plus for pleats or satin/silkl
off to feed pups and take them out to pee -- great to see everyone -- back later :-) *poof*
I could so do with you making my dress though Trifs
bye bye Ruby
and I've had too much wine so off to bed - goodnight all
bye bye Une
Night Lynxx
pleasant dreams Lynxxx
bye all
Bye Trifs
I wonder if Ruby watched the video link on Chavs??
I would totally make you a dress herin, and anything else your lovely heart desired
Loved the video link Jac!
I am not leaving, herin, I was saying gb to all who were
Sally - it made me laugh, too.
O ops
The women did look exactly like my description! Don't know where the word chav came from though.
Sally - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav

i see it will not take crams;(
happen to have that T on the left? its a-buggin me...
as in "he crams the case full of documents and runs for the bus"
lookin....
i have a 5/12 and a 6/21 off it just now
thats quite a feat -- the one on the left only has one word...
th4 - with a Scots twist.
well i have 2,the singular and the pural off the far left t in the first column
doh! fish me. thanks haz!
you said on the left,and that is leftmost t
You're welcome - hello!
but anyways,not awake enough
thats NBT. just need an 8-letter word for NBS!
Then think in terms of rhyme and verse for two 8s.
i shall just wander off mumbling to myself then...
ahh, got one of them. thanks again haz!
tea, crossy. get yourself a cuppa. :)
and now i have 3 off that first t in the column
ahh, got the other 8 you were alluding to, haz, though im not convinced its a real word...
tell me i am nuts..lol
If you get the points, don't quibble, is my motto.
youre nuts!
gee thanx
clue for the h on the left for nbt
EvaN was always known for her tact and diplomacy.
thats why we LOVE you. DUH!
ha4/11.
hey, he TOLD me to say it! i respect the wishes of my elders...
uh huh
give you a time out
the middle h on the left
no time out! i dont have time to waste! work to do, wedding to plan...
NOT ENOUGH TIME!!!!
big day comming eh eva? like an express train barreling down on you...;)
ty Haz for your clue didn't have that one
methinks its already run me over...
no pressure....
he4/6 - to rhyme with the March sister who died.
remember if he shows up with the ring,and you show up in some kind of dress and some church official is there..then it is all good
That's for the single h.
nm got it
he almost put his foot in it the other night. i have to keep reminding myself that we are both under pressure and not always thinking clearly... i had to give him "the glare"
the rest is just window dressing;))
uh oh no the glare...
THE GLARE
if her eyes wer lasres,you would be dead right there glare
lasers
Hi all. I have a day off today and will be in and out.
we were discussing the weather -- it has been so sporadic here. earlier in the week, we had highs of 60 and downpours. this weekend, its highs of 80 and bright sunshine. i commented that i could deal with the chill, but since we are having an outdoor ceremony, i really NEED it to be dry (otherwise we have to move indoors, which neither of us wants to do.) he commented that we would NOT be having it indoors, to which i replied, "hon, if its muddy outside, i will NOT be having my dress dragging on the ground."
he actually said... wait for it... "so what? you will only wear that dress one day."
....
i glared, he went upstairs.
Eva, My daughter's wedding was supposed to be outdoors but rain forced it inside but it didn't seem to bother anybody.
if it is muddy tell him to carry you the the altar and have a platform there for you to stand on;)
(little cough as I point out that the we7 word is in the grid) And put an a in front for aw8.
If it is muddy, it is not just a problem for the bride, but also for any of the guests who are wearing heels. They just sink in.
im just pretending at this point that that whole conversation never occurred. clearly MY fiance wouldnt be so stupid as to say something so dense.
ahh, thanks haz. off to the PB i go...
Hiya babble friends
But EvaN, to him it IS just a dress that is worn once. He doesn't get the sentimental/cost value of the gown.
you must remember as guys,we love whats inside the package,we do not care if you show up in a 20,000 dollar dress or a potato sack,we only see you
Hello, beach.
wht -- dear fiance has gotten into 2-year-old mentality as we are nearing the big day. everything is "i want!" heh
There was a tornado watch for the day of the wedding. It put the rain into perspective.
it wasnt even so much the sentimental value of the dress -- my reaction was practical -- i wont be wearing a wet, muddy dress all night!
Who would.
Well yes, there is that.
i did get to see him try on his tux last night, and he looked SO HANDSOME! i couldnt stop smiling. :)
yup we do dress up well;0
My daughter's wedding is next August, but we7 here is so variable it would never occur to us to try to have an outdoor ceremony.
Anyway, got a lot to do. I will be popping in and out all day. And thanks haz for the we7 and friends.
You're welcome, wht.
i never wanted an outdoor ceremony for just that reason. but this venue made me feel at-ease with how quickly they can move the whole shindig indoors. im really hoping we dont have to do that, but it gives me comfort.
Yes, if they're used to Plan B, that makes it easier.
i did have to calm him down a bit last night, though. a groomsman made a comment that shouldnt have been such a big deal, but being that it is only 2 weeks to W-day, he should have known that emotions are running high... one person says something thoughtless and stupid, and i spend the rest of the evening calming him...
Did the groomsman know the effect he'd had?
well these big do,s with a long build up get everyone that way ad it draws nigh
im not sure. chris tried to behave and not react (or over-react, at least). but i have half a mind to say something. we were trying to save the guys some potential drama and a decent chunk of money, and the guy actually told chris that what he was being asked to do was "inconvenient" -- driving to a store location 10 minutes away instead of the one closest to his house.
good morning everyone
i told chris "if he wants to potentially get the wrong tux and pay $50+ more for it, thats his buisness."
howdy seaspray
10 hours away I'd have understood.
mornin sea. :)
Hello, SeaSpray.
Outside wedding was beautiful and weather was perfect Eva...yours will be too!
there were 2 things going on. (1) the guy at our shop basically said "avoid shops A and B because the people who work there regularly order the wrong items" (2) if our groomsmen pick up their tuxes at this particular shop, the guy will override the price in the system and give them a $50 discount. silly me for thinking a 10-minute drive would be worth knowing youve got the right tux AND an extra $50 in your pocket!
very happy to hear, sea. yay!
deep breaths eva....
im annoyed, but mostly ok. chris was rather fuming, though.
i just dont want to hear the word "inconvenient" for the next 2 weeks. :)
if it is a wedding day,i would not care if it had to happen in the pouring rain,buck neeked wearing nothing but see through rain coats lol
Well, I'm heading out with daughter to look for wedding shoes and veil. It's inconvenient but a mother's duty is clear...
BAH!!!!!
Oh Haz, that will be fun!
I hope so, SeaSpray.
Okay, off I go, hope it isn't too inconvenient to get parked.
::glares::
Keep smiling, EvaN!

Anyone here know of a site that would enable me to do a collage of a lot of animal photos from our Humane Society in the shape of a heart? You all are always so helpful in so many ways, I thought it was worth the question.

good morning everyone :)
howdy cyernan
here eva,this is one of my favoites,may ease you stress a tad....
erda -- feel free to ignore me. i will be going a little crazy these next few weeks. :)
Something there is in beauty which grows in the soul of the beholder like a flower: fragile-- for many are the blights which may waste the beauty or the beholder-- and imperishable-- for the beauty may die, or the beholder may die, or the world may die, but the soul in which the flower grows survives.
thats lovely, crossy. :)
some excellent clues in the chog this am -- ty
YW nan -- i allowed them in there just for you. ;)
lol.remember eva,if it gets too crazy,just grab you man and elope..perhaps in bermuda for a month;) leave them all arguing over tux stores lol
well, my stress level elevated a bit since this morning... when i realized that money and final counts and the such are due this weekend. eek!
ouch
Hi everyone, and wow eva, its time!
I remember that for my daughter's wedding. Very stressful
howdy red
my shoulders have been stuck up at my ears all afternoon... trying to calm myself down...
Having a nervous breakdown would be very inconvenient, EvaN. (Last time, I promise)
INCONVENIENT!!! AHHHH!!! ::runs around the chog like a madwoman::
*smug* Haz knows how to provoke a reaction.
::drops dead::
That's an over-reaction.
Breathe! Breathe!
::opens an eye, just a slit::
I won't mention the in 10 word again. I promise.

Relief all round. She's alive!
oh, and for the record, im convinved there are only 2 M-words in this grid.

hello all
have neither po8, help pls
but did find the we8 by myself
po 8's: are related and to do with odes and their creators
so they do, found one, ty nan
and yay for you
you will have to stretch your imagination for the others!
ok
there is a po 7-8 combo and 2 other po 8's
will keep looking, ty
actually -- it is a po 7-8-8 combo
on my way -- hair appointment coming up :)
hems

I got the po8/ 45, looking for the other one but am stumped. if it's related to the po8/ 45 and the po7 why can't I find it? lol
gd evening everybody
found 106 words this AM but stumped on those long po's smacking the monkeys
is the one you're missing the odd plural (you'd think 'poems' would be fine...), tc?
no, I have that one, its the other one that is eluding me at the moment
Hello...
how many today
192 words
{{jellen}}
192 chugga
((ruby))
ty
then it's the other odd plural... of the 7 (to turn prose into p***ry)
po8 - the one who does it - disparaging synonym of po4
ty city and vic, got them
hello vicuna! I think I found a hand-press locally; it's at auction and a friend will try to get it for me
Thanks, Vi
he thinks it will be very inexpensive -- we'll see
Hello, ruby! What fun! That'll be great if you can get back into it!
and City
And in case it falls through, just remember, there's always the back of a wooden spoon!
I have just had almost 3 wks of houseguests and today everything sort of fell apart but, for once, husband stepped up and was actually helpful.
Hello, Jellen, and everyone. (Not really here for long, though.)
Well, that's a pleasant surprise. Good for him.
Yay for hubby! There's hope!
I was just totally overwhelmed
I can't imagine 3 weeks of houseguests...3 days is overwhelming for me...
3 different sets
Are the guests gone now? Or if not, when do the last ones leave?
and the washing machine quit
all gone, thank God
now I only have to do: dog case, French taxes, etc etc
*groan* Take a deep breath, play a little Babble, adn soon you'll be ready to move on...
Ditto what Vi said...
help w/the w8 please...
we8 is pl of meteorological conditions
we8 how it is outside plus plural
hello jeff
How is the grid today? I reached nbt with relative ease last night...
Seems pretty easy to me, although admittedly I've hit the sticky part with 36 left.
... and time for me to go. Have fun, all!
Good...I have much I'm supposed to be doing today, but needed a dose of Babble first...
Bye, Vi...
gd nite, vicuna!
Were you able to enjoy your company a bit, ruby?
not much. both my son and my husband (not his son) are type A's and it is very hard for me to be with the two of them at the same time
they bully me and it's very unpleasant
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that...
So it's nice to be back to normal...
hahah, normal!!!
Well, whatever that is...
Nice for it to be quieter, perhaps?
for sure!
hiall
Wish I could come over to France and have you show me around...I promise not to bully!
hello jmc!
Hi, jmc
sounds good to me!
i guess i should leave since i am a type A
you would surely be welcome, jellen
but female! I'm a type A but not around them!
Just don't be too pushy and we'll get along fine, jmc...
my sister gave me a long, long-distance lecture on the way I was in business
*shoves jell*
Hey!
:-)
I was definitely tough when I worked
like Womanship's slogan "Nobody yells"
i yell
*covers ears*
I go very quiet....it used to be deadly
not here jell
oh, okay!
and very effective against bully-bosses. I just don't do a good job around here
oh well a me using a quiet voice is much worse than me yelling
hahah jmc, even though you don't like hugs, I think I would love you!
Me, too, jmc!
and I'm not scared of your yelling or your scary quiet voice
I have 120 words but still don't have nbt: need the middle h on the left and the e in the second column

Hullo, George!
That could be my Biscuit. He's very elderly, but going strong. I'm aiming for 17, at least
but this is a young bichon!!

not hot enough for ac dorens
i tried this the other day with the mrs , she was hunting for a nice cuke and i knew the pharmacy isle was the next one over.i ran over grabbed a jumbo tube a of K-Y and ran back and gave it to her..took her about 30 seconds to catch on....i never knew a cuke could be a deadly weapon..... was in dog house for rest of the day lol
haha... grabbing a few words with babble expert and that happens to me, sorry. need a few minutes of sanity here
if you are looking for sanity you are in the wrong place dorens!
oh no, jmc, this is sane compared to what i'm dealing with
i hunted for sanity once..but it was just keeping me up at night,so i stopped
oh dear!
how's the new mom?
don't ask
ah too bad
*brews a cup of tea for dorens*
invisible crossy slinks back to the grid....
its okay crossy we love you for who you are
if that's all there is; if that's all there is; if that's all there is my friends lets go on dancing
Have some bacon Crossy
lets break out the booze and have a ball; if that's all; if that's all
crossy dances like no one is watching...
that's the only way to dance
bacon,booze and babes,life is good
good drinks like no ones watching...
There's an idea. Just realized something was missing from lunch - tho not booze, I regret to say.
jk!!
lol good
ty helen for the em 7
babes helen?
Neat word isn't it.
I doubt babes would improve the sandwich, actually - off to hunt for the mustard.
wait, so you are saying you are having booze with lunch?
*confuzeled*
No booze, sorry. Just mustard on a cheese and tomato sandwich.
mmmm tomatoe
i just remembered i have a tomato in my purse!
I should go research the candidates for city council for my ward - first time in ages the incumbent hasn't been running - he was pretty good, don't want to see things go all to hell - the mayoralty race is doing that well enough.
In your purse?
i was at my sisters and she gave me acouple of tomatoes from her garden and I didn't have a bag
how come putting a e on the end of tomato reminds me of a U.S president?
i took them out when i got home but when i went to write a check for new ti*** for my car I found one
i would think it would remind you of a vp
not sure it is vague thought cannot make a connexion
dan quayle
ahh knew it was something like that
It used to remind us, more light-heartedly, of South Pacific!
Found my choice for alderman! Have offered to put a sign on my balcony.
we have a vote coming up for mayor and town coucil.. i hope we do not get another mess
if factories made wr****s could they be called wr****eries?
anyone voted in by public vote should,withing 1 year be held accountable to at least 75% of their pre- election promises
that seems unrealistic crossy
most people in elected office do not have complete control over what happens
good for you helen!
mise it
then do not promise it
not everyone realizes how little control they will have
and sometimes it is a matter of timing
you think in novmeber one thing is going to be your highest priority and then by the time you are inaugurated some thing else is
and on that note it is time for work,tc all and happy babbling...poof!
lol bye crossy
Very depressed - thought I would have another look at the mayoralty candidates - very few half-way good choices, none of them have a chance of winning!
sorry to hear that
Going for a walk - maybe that will shake loose this election malaise. Good Babbling, all!
bye helen have a nice walk

oh i was refinancing my house and the appraiser claimed my plaster walls were in poor repair so i had to have an emergency repair and paint of my dining room/office and my hall
oh boy -- $$$
and i was already in disarray booting the boy out to his apartment
So he's left now?
so now my living room looks like i belong on clean house or the hoarders show
does anyone have a clue for the last two po's

yw jmc
yeah, very!
last night mine froze every 2 minutes!
i thought i would never finish
Well, I think it's time for me to go. Goodnight folks.
me7,32 anyone please?
goodnight becca
goodnight Becca!
me+get up in the morning
don't ask me how i found that because i do not know
*feeds bananas to monkeys*
ooh, ta! odd that there's no 'singular' of it!?
yeah you'd think -- maybe its a noun
was just gonna say that, yeah
no def but a similar word means cell growth
oh yeah?
I have 55 left, no list, I feel semi obligated to complete....but could someone help me assuage my guilt at the Mac and Cheese I think I am going to consume for dinner?
totally off topic, I realize, but...
no help here, red, that's for sure!
well mac a cheese has lots of protein and calcium
as a woman you need calcium
sounds so good i may go home and make some for myself
but I always add a can of tomatoes to my mac and cheese
thank you jmc. I think that helps. I did just force myself to eat a summer squash. raw. it was not that tasty.
I have about 15 pounds to lose, but, I just can not do anymore fish today.or chicken...
thinking of putting bacon in mine!
well i know george is big into raw but summer squash cooked with a little water and some nutmeg (freshly grated of course) is heaven
a little bacon is fine the trick is not to eat too big a portion
cooked, it would have been nicer, and raw usually it has a sweetish flavor, may be because its end of summer? little bitter.
there was an interesting report of a college prof who lost 20 lbs eating junk food -- and i mean real junk food like twinkies -- because he watched the caloric intake
you can lose weight on any calorie restriction, but your body will not perform well on twinkies..
he said his point was that losing weight alone is not the issue but eating healthily is
exactly red
i prefer my squash cooked but if I am worried about calories i use water instead of butter or oil
help with the first pe please
I slice up the squash and put it in a bowl like chips and then veg out (literally) in front of the tv...
the first pe I have is the babbler.
hmm seems to be a 5/12 and 6/21 before her
got it
sounds like a handbag
then pl
but that isnt before babbler!
i just relized that! lol
So jmc, it seems you are now doign less travel, whats new?
that is after jilli's clue
well the fall is not as travel intensive as the summer
but i am going to indiana next week and will see wht there
then western md before the end of oct
Will you be near Earlham? My Dad and Mom were in Indiana this past week...
then philly and New Orleans
I will be in Richmond at the FUM board
My Dad went to Earlham of course, which is how we became quakerly.
after NO there is a big tadoo in DC
glad Earlham had such a good influence :-)
Yes, I am named after one of the Profs there (my middle name.)
nice
i was named after the babysitter
very nice campus as well.
I think I shall purchase Dad an Earlham sweatshirt. last year, he discovered that sweatshirts are nice...he still has not worn jeans.
also nice!
lol we all have our foibles
george? Did you leave? did I chase you out?
i worry that if i get a real job i won't be able to wear jeans
he's still online
and so is feather i noticed!
jmc, you have quite a real job!
well it says a lot of people are online, but I can not imagine they are all babbling and hiding from chat!
my creditors don't always think so red! ;-)
Oooh man, did I stink up the chat box?
no probably not
lol that was my answer to if people were babbling
NO you did not stink up the chat box
hurridly ducks into the PB for that comb through shampoo.
what did you say???
Well I started by talking about food...
but I do need to go now, so, chatters, please come back!!!!!
and by jmc, nice to see you...
I'm here! But was on FB and running this in the background...how are you all?

Congrats Bichon!
*poof*
Ooops. I need to go to the pb, myself.
WHT - going anywhere nice for dinner? I'm really hungry right now, and would love a vicarious dinner.....
We are going to a mexican place in Somerville called Rudy's
My wife will probably get some kind of enchilada with refried beans and a Dos Equis.
Mmmm. My memories of Mexican places involve lots and lots of tequila.....Oh my!
Rather than having a birthday cake, we just got back from the bakery where we picked out a selection of tarts and tortes.
Soodle, I'm going to meet my mom for dinner and have a big ol' frozen margarita!
Last time we went, they were passing out free tequila samples.
Tequila is lovely, until it decides to whomp you upside the head.
Wahhhh. I have never been to a restaurant here in Ireland that gave out free tequila. I AM DEPRIVED.
Oooh and frozen margureitas are a special favorite of mine.... How I wish I was in the US right now....
wow lots of words that haven't been in for ages like es5.12 and ha4.11 & fr5.20
You are! There's a restaurant here that doesn't have their liquor license, so they give out free margaritas, but not just tequila. I could WALK there Soodle!
Champ.... do you have a spare bed in your place? You might just have a visitor......
she's going to get very wet though
Come on! I'll kick a kid out of the house...someone will take them...probably...
Hello lynxxx and soodle. Just starting and need to log off.
Woo-hoo! Cheers Champ. LOL.
Would love to visit but I'm out and about in Southern California today and it is sunny and warm. Shirt sleeve weather.
oh dear - hello and goodbye then Stidgmere
Hi Stidgmere. Nice to see you...
Got to go get ready...bbl to finish...bye all!
By champ.

Bye Champ

GGGGRRRR!!!!!!! I am so angry with my husband right now I can't stand it. He came home from work in a bad mood and after packing the car and getting the kids ready to go to New Hampshire for the long weekend tonight, he announced that he isn't up for the drive and we aren't going until tomorrow morning. I'm so mad at him. Now he's lying down resting and the girls are both whining and crying and fussing because they thought they were going to see their grandparents tonight.
or, if you will, a tribal fanny pack
sorry to hear that minski, *gort wracks brains for something soothing and helpful to say, wishes sprite were here, she's good with this sort of thing*
not soothing, but leave his butt at home and leave now!!!! LOL
How about if you volunteer to drive, Minski? He can hardly complain about being forced to recline in the passenger seat, right?
good one nancy, very sage
Thought I'd killed the chog then. Serves me right for not being out on a Friday evening! Ta - I love being driven around. Luckily for me it happens fairly often, as I'm not insured on the boyfriend's car. Stupid he ain't ;)
no no Nb, I have been killing chog allll day long...
any help for the a that is at the bottom row? i have none...
righto, gotta go and tell a squillion people that the party's still on despite rain. toodle pip
See ya, Gort. And evening, Red :) not working tonight, or just got a few free hours before you descend into the fray?
ad bottom row = stick to & plural
see nancy, i show up...people leave?
i got switched to days!!!

Ugh, I am SO not looking forward to Christmas.
(i'm hiding out for just a sec... helping my daughter plant a LOT of bulbs!)
Hey, M9! Nice new pic :) and thanks for your comment on my yahoo!
My nephew is very excited as I will be sleeping in his room again...
It's so GREAT to "see" you on here!
actually..that's an OLD pic. about 2 years...
I'm usually the one behind the camera!LOL
I seem to usually be in front of the camera...I do too many ridiculously foolish things for people to not want to take pictures.
for some reason I think I am obligated to finisht his one...
yeah...it's NOTHING to do with your being gorgeous.....
and thus at 34 to go, I will get the list...
I have yet to see one ridiculous photo of you!
cute and i want your hair!!
You haven't seen the "Jesse inebriated" or "Jesse between the ages of five and fifteen" collection ;)
ah! inebriated is not wise.
I bet you were a DOLL at 5!
phantom: empire
I do agree with that.
well the list is pointing out to me how still I am...
Well it's funny M9, I just don't seem to have smiled in a single childhood photo. Once I was a teenager, it wasn't cool, and I seem to have been a sulky kid!
still?
sorry nb i mean cute in a good way
maybe you thought it looked all model like...
lol Joanne - didn't know that was directed at me! There's a 'bad' kind of cute? ;)
we older folk used to call guys cute
I just changed my icon. more recent pic..and in this one I am in my usual place... BEHIND the camera!LOL
well there's kid cute and old folk cute
more likely I was just put out by the stereotypical-asian-child bowl cut that my parents inflicted upon me.
oh no!!!! NOT the bowl cut!!!
AND in front of it. Paradox ;)
lol bowl cut haha had those
yup. taken in the car visor mirror.LOL
I have had one of those as well!
we had what my mom called 'pixie' cuts.
and my poor brother... his cut had fake sideburns..
Luckily I guess, there aren't too many pictures of me at that age. I only have one or two, the rest are landfill by now!
I remember my sister wearing a paper bag over her head after one cut. Made my mom SO mad!
canadian indian....so why did my mom do that to me??
and now my sister is a hairdresser.
cause she could??
lol
my mom accidently cut my ear lobe, but of course it has healed...and she does not cut my hair anymore.
I am going to go back to the bulb planting. OUCH red!
ouch
http://i51.tinypic.com/25p4vg5.jpg - there's mine. see what I mean with the sulky face?
ouuuuch, Red!!
and bye for now nb!!! oh wait.. gotta see the pic first
it didnt hurt that much, I guess we have few nerves in the ear lobes.
byeee m9
oh Jesse...you're SO adorable!!!!!
might as well have something to laugh at whilst you're planting away ;)
love teh chipmunk cheeks!
help with the He 6?
or what we call in my family "kissy cheeks"
LOL! Unfortunately I still have those.
oh puh-leeze!
you got to stop talking like that.
group of 7 red
many thanks m9... moving right along.
(I'll sic JC on you if you don't! HA!)

Did you ever awaken at 2 in the morning to the sound of drunken danish soccer fans being rowdy?
noope
hi lawyer
it's no fun...especially if you are sober
we are lucky here at this time of year if it does not have a puck and is not played on ice,we do not care lol
hi, guys
hi lawyer, lol crossy
Well I am in Porto, on the banks of the Douro River listening to the. They have been at the outside cafe forever
I am not a hockey fan.
well either put ear plugs in or go join them;))
is that legal? being a canadian and not being a hockey fan?
no earplugs, and my wife would object if I joined them
there are a few of us, lbd, lol!
and remember, I'm a britamericanadian, lol!
i honestly tried my best to watch a few game of soccor this year,i really did,but when the first place team and the last place team can play a game and it is tied 1-1,i find more action watching the fans kill each other and tear up the seats lol
i have been woken at 2 am with drunken plebes in philly during army/navy weekend-- does that count?
that's kinda like being a montanan and not liking country music...a rarity
When I lived in Toronto, I could not have a conversation with anyone from September to May unless I spoke hockey.
plebes are amateurs compared to rowdy soccer fans
probably so lawyer
i must say soccer fans are passionate
makes the actual game look like a poetry reading
i think any sport group who have been imbibing are obnoxious and worse when their team wins
Well, tomorrow I hit the port houses to hopefully catch up to the Danish, but how does one get rowdy drinking 40 year old port?
now you know why i root for anyone but the phillies
slowly lawyer
jmc, that baseball site is REALLY cool!
isn't?
with dignity, lawyer
i never found it before
I'll take the Phillies over the yanks any day!
lawyers and dignity do not mix
go to a game against the phillies in national park and you will love the yankees
I'd sooner love Notre Dame than the yanks
lol
i felt that way too lawyer but no longer
are you on vacation lawyer or working?
well, jm, you are obviously a Nationals fan
even if i wasn't lawyer
vacation...visited friends in Spain; now in Porto and go on a river cruise starting Sunday
the phillies fans were sooo objectionable
sounds lovely
it is lovely...if I could vanquish the danes
Nationals = Expos, R.I.P
lol
lawyer, your trip sounds heavenly
2
The expos would have been fine if people in Montreal spoke english
but I started out as a Yankee fan, went to a game at Yankee Stadium when fresh off the boat in 1940.
which boat?
Lots of people in Montreal speak English. Careful!
We had dinner at a lovely place overlooking the river as the guitar player sang in Portuguese with our waiter chiming is as we sipped on our sangria
from England.
oh how interesting
it's a river boat holding maybe 120 passengers
1940s was the time to be watching the yankess for sure
mmmm sangria
Looon story, jmc, sort of in my bio here if you scroll down.
how long is the cruise
that was supposed to be "looong"
7 or 8 days
that's right i remember you talking about china
sounds delightful lawyer
I prefer looon stories to long ones
LOL!
We will never make the weight limit for the luggage coming home
wow nice double play for the phillies to win
mail some of it back lawyer
that is what i do
we did that a couple of years ago, but it's toughto mail some of this stuff, especially from a ship
well, that's the thing about baseball -- one can admire the enemy from time to time. They players may be on a friendly team another year.
true
now the braves v the giants
I found this great?
i lost the beginning of that msg
????
I found this delicious beverage in Spain that you cannot get in the US. How do I get it back?
what is it?
Orujo
evening all
hi dan2
gotta go get dinner -- back later -- hi and by dan2bit!
ciao jilli
it's like a fortified wine and comes in different flavors. I prefer the cream and the coffee flavors
later, Jilli, hi dan
seems to be similar if not the same as grappa
bye jilli
Dan, Maggie is growing so fast! love the new pic!
thanks lbd! She's 5 months today
there appear to be a couple of places that you can order it on line -- both in spain and three bottles cost about $65 with shipping and tarrifs
amazing! she'll be dating in no time! LOL
i ho** not lbd!
seconded :-)
btw, my 10th grandchild was born yesterday
giants just got a 3 run homer
congrats lawyer

29 here
i think it is a robe kind of thing
wee kin due et, nrkii ;)
it is a loin cloth worn by hindu men
go pini go
go nrkii go
hi nrkii, hi pini
I would feel better about this one if that second column T and P were not being so ornery
jmc, did i miss your fireworks?
they are cranky
yes lbd but i will do a replay for you
te4 and te4 (semester(s)
fw
whooooo hooooooo JMC!!
wtg jmc ;)
lol
are you asking for a clue pini?
no, was helping nrkii :)
yah, I try to get down to only 2 left in every tile (only 1 if the tile has 2 to start with, and 0 if the tile has 1 to start with) before I join the chog or grab a list... but I am still looking for 4 more T's and 7 more P's in the 2nd column
I should be quiet
I was thinking nrkii needed a word from the T...not that she had all but 2 of 'em!
te5,, has to do with rhythm
em7 8?
got that one, and the eve/apple te 5
are they related (probably a pl)
em7 is the wife of Hirohito (it's a title)
have that one...need the other 2?
and then the next one is an anagram of the "kindgom" they rule over
em + sur*****!!
and then plural
got 'em...thx!
there are 7 p words related to non-prose
I'm missing the middle 8 of those :(
hmmm, I only have 4
oh, nm..got it
duh!
just got 2 more
4,5,7,8,8,8
2 are the written pieces; the other 5 are related to the writer
or something like that
got'em
thanks
then after them are words that make me think of winnie the pooh
p's look much better now
at7?
lack of belief in God
the practice of not believing in a god
danke
bitte
yay, that got me 2
hmm i thinks i hear me boys motorcicle
(i don't ca** a durn or a pickle as long as I got my motorcickle
2nd ar5/12 a fish?
no
nm, got it
but it is only one letter dif from the other
* thanking monkeys *
and i will continueing my cluing from the pb
good monkeys!
clues for the po pair that isn't about non-prose?
* providing bananas *
p + one an*****
think of winnie the pooh dan2
thanks Pinik and all cluers - firewords!
oh po****
whoo hoo dan2
aw8? are you serious?
winnie the pooh was in my head too
wtg dan2
don't b***** asking for clues for the po6
as serious as a thunder storm pini
yay dan!
that was a clue pini
aw8 a + what the climate is doing outside your window, generically speaking
dang!
okay, 23 left and listing so I can start my weekend well
alton brown says it too
wow, thx lbd...
whooooo hoooooo DAN!!
wow mr sulu is advertising tvs
that color thing? seen it...
...he looked better younger ;)
most of us do pini, most of us do
oh, yeah...good point
is the fr5/20 another fish?
no, it means strange or alien.
not in the least
it is a german word apparently
fr + vowel + abbrev for doctor
i got to be fr*e+doctor
would never have found that one!
thx ;)
yw
ha4/11 is johnny quest's indian friend
yep...had that one * big smile *
:-)
i liked jonny quest, that was a fun cartoon to watch. all the adventure and "technology"
me too
in retrospect a tad racist
but i liked it at the time
Tim Matheson was the original voice for Jonny
he6/27?
i did not know that
he + consonant + baby frog...***pole
danke (again)
hi friends.... one word to fireworks. I'm all around it but it's driving me crazy. po 8/45 please ?
the middle one
there are 3 of them, diane...where in sequence?
pl the 7
a person who makes nonprose
making non prose
multiple nonprose
maybe I've got them out of order.... sec...
the first adds a hook to the end of the 7
the second is the 7's pl
the thrid is Edgar Allen *** + attempts
* third
get it diane?
are either me7's fishies?
(have the last me7)
none of them are fish
monkeyed the first ;)
me+gets up
me+cake layers
danke :)
how many pini?
5 now
make that 4
go pini go
now 3
how about you nrkii?
2 ;)
7, but interrupted by mom call 10 mins ago and still on phone
ah
diane did you get fireworks?
* ahem, mom, nrkii is playing a game and she's sooooo close to finishing *
Heh. Can I own a Canadian? Love that.
* giggle * :)
4, but still talking with mom
Crossy says we have to ask the Mrs. if we want *rent* him...he's not for sale.
I've got something wrong.... by pasting all my words into lickety's chart... I have 2 of the same word... I have to get it out of there LOL I have no idea what I did
i am not cheap,but i am easy..good night all and happy babbling...poof
then I'll decide which one of the po's I need.... BRB dummy me
just de-check those 3, diane, and reload :) it should clear itself up
* blush * crossy, didn't know you were there!!!
bye crossy
2 left...
go nrki go
mom is wondering why I'm so quiet
night crossy
go nrkii!
hurry up pini!
tell her you are listening
fw!
you are trying to be a thoughtful daughter and listen
Imma tryin'!!!
whooo hooo nrkii!
had to dump my mom to get those last two TH words
ROFL
wtg nrkii!!!
lol! some thoughtful daughter!
th*** i was giving you a back story. . . .
well, I talk with her every day, so it's okay
whoooo hoooooo nrkii!
sometimes, she ignores me while we talk too
she's more obvious about it when she does it
lol
Pini, can we help?
well, there's just the 2 left to go...
git 'r dun, pini!
* pondering * to ask or not to ask *
ask
we can give you very little tiny subtle hints if you want
eye sayed imma tryin'!
just teeny ones
ask
ok...but they have to be subtle...
(nice picture btw pini)
I have 2 hours to figure 'em out! :)
lbd is very bossy... ;-)
okay, I'm missing the FIRST po 8/45 maybe I can get it , now that I've got them in order
th6/24 (probably a fish, knowing my luck)
I will be extremely subtle
add a hook to the po7
it is an extra letter on the po7 that makes it a person
(that probably wasn't a very subtle clue for diane) ;]
opposite of another word inthe grid pini
diane, make the 7 into one who does.
(how was that for subtle)
th6... opp of A word
lol nrkii
OK...working on those subtleties
jmc more subtle than me... I bow to her subtleness
got the th ;)
the Pope isn't one!
*curtsy*
just 1 now...
lol lbd
oops mine was for the A
and the clue has to be so obscure, so it takes longer than 30 seconds to get! :)
but that would be a great subtle clue for the A
okay... we're ready
FINALLY..... thanks friends !!! .... sort of like a womanizer, except he writes rhyming ditties !!!
okay i can be obscure
(let's clue the wrong word,and reallly torture Pini)
YAY diane!!!
whoo hooo diane
nrkii!!!
whoooo hoooooo DIANE!!
wtg diane ;)
nrkii, you are evil! i love it!
(but what if we clue different words?)
(it's SO obscure, it's actually wrong)
nrkii...don't think you need to go THAT far!! :)
(Pini can't see what we put in parens)
(that is obscure nrkii you may yet earn your bitch badge back)
oops, maybe she can
(i think pini hears us)
I had entered the plural of 7/32 manually, and put it right after.... there was space between the singular and plural
ROFL
yeah the plurals will catch you that way
diane, do you have a pc? you should email lickety for the babble expert
wow great double play
yeah, that po8er wasa toughie
Pini is now afraid to ask us for a clue...
ok, the last word I need is se5/12...fish? yes or no?
pini has wimped out
NOT!
a pc ?? as in personal computer... ??
not a fish
as in not a MAC, diane
hmmm Papa Hemingway
ok...looking for something obscure
add consonant to se4/4 above
(hows that for obscure?)
* sparklers *
yay pini!!!
lol unE!!!!!!!!
oh no!@!! Une didn't get the memo!
YAY Pini!!!
not obscure enough, nrkii
rolf
I have all sorts of "toys".... a dell desk top ( brand new ) ... a dell laptop...Love my computers and printers etc.
whooo hooooooo PINI!!
who me?
whooo hooo pini!
yeah yeah yeah -- thought I'd give the poor girl a break
whooo hooo pini!
so, diane's a PC... ;) means she could email Lickety for Expert ;)
mine was plenty obscure
mine was plenty obscure
gosh, thx, une :)
Diane, those are PC's and you really need to email Lickety for babble expert, that way you don't have to cut and paste your list.
and how do you email lickety ??
:-D
I never got a chance to come up with a clue for her
if i could only remember which book it was in which the earth moved it would have been less so
was working on being obscure when Une jumped in :)
his addy is in the list you're using...
For whom the bells toll?
jmc LOL
give us your obscure clue anyway nrkii
licketySplitAUS @ gmail.com Just tell him you are a pro member and would like expert.
licketysplitaus@gmail.com
I was going to say something about it going hand in hand with the last one, or rhyming, but neither were vague enough
hey, dawg :-)
thanks.... will do it !! I'm loving this game!!
Unea!!
after th6, se6 was just too similar so I got stuck
hmm i see your issue
I froze
sorry
and now i'm heading for my pillows. see you all tomorrow! be good! nah, just have fun!
i thought about giving the definition of earthquake but thought it not obscure enough
th*** th*** we all freeze sometimes
nite, dawg!
I might go with earthquake now
nighters lbd
that would've been obscure enough for me!
just "earthquake" as a clue would be pretty obscure, no?
i think so
see ya lbd!
what pini you wanted it reallyobscure!!!
now papa hemingway was really really obscure! lol
that's what I'm saying...that WOULD have been obscure for me...I would have worked on it for awhile!!!
it's always a challenge when you ask for obscure clues
papa hemingway would have given me a headache trying to figure out
oh well i am heading off
nite, jmc
thx all for the help...I'm going to check email and take Koda out...
(probably not in that order)
we can all dream of the melting snows of Kilimanjaro
cya l8r g8rs!
*poof*
Good night all!
nite, pini :-)
nite, pini :-)
nite, nrkii
everyone is heading out.... see you all tomorrow !
I assume everyone has finished the grid?
That being so, I might just head back to bed in time to be waking up and saaying 'Good Morning' to My Beloved, just as h is getting into bed at the end of a long working day.
His hours have been crazy this week, early morning start, mid morning start, three late night starts. His body doesn't know if it is coming or going.
I didn't hook up with a younger mand only for him to de young from aa heart attack due to his working hours!
OOh! He's just got home. See ya!
Evening all. May I please have a clue for me6-21 the 1st? Thanks.
hi peach it's me and a cake layer
Thanks much, westford.

It's our Thanksgiving weekend and storms are predicted :-(
Hi everyone!
Hi jilly
hello all
no need to tell you, jilly, that the new icon theme is Your Favourite Shower Implement -- I see you've posted sprite's list too.
hi cos
yeah! and you can almost see the shower head on the wall behind my bathtub--sorry the girls and plants sorta hide it, ha!
hi Geroge :)
just don't ask why there are giggling girls in my bathtub, lots of odd things happen in my home!!
Ya, but I decided to recognize John Lennon's 70th birthday and no sprite's icon list
who's Geroge, Jill? ha!
sorry -- I keep typoing that name! George. There, I CAN do it right.
Hey there George!
I don't typo yours, would be hard to, lol!
hey there yourself, Jillyjill!
Sheez George, girls in YOUR tub....lol???
