Goodnight flosey, hello lynxxx

2:00 am

Hi Christine -- I've hardly been here at all tonight and have to go to bed now. All of 7 words so far, lol!

2:03 am

Well, sleep well Dear - I saw you have a very busy day/weekend coming up.

2:03 am

2:04 am

Well, sleep well Dear - I saw you have a very busy day/weekend coming up.

2:05 am

seemed to be a long hiccup, my farewell to Jili got eaten up too

2:05 am

Thanks, Christine, and yes, lyn, it's unlike me! The last few and the coming days are unlike my usual ones too! Just over-busy.

2:30 am

Boy, this blooming machine has closed down three times in the past 25 minutes - I don't know if it's my computer or the nightly hiccup.

2:32 am

However, during my downtime, I found 33 words, so --

2:35 am

I'm not sure this is worth the aggravation -- I may just go play Spider Solitaire, and add to my list, to enter them tomorrow.

2:41 am

Is anyone out there ?

2:48 am

I guess I killed the chat. Maybe a nice cup of tea will revive it ?

2:49 am

Hello?

2:49 am

Hellllooooo

2:49 am

What is with this darned game, tonight. I keep getting the redbars.

2:49 am

Hellllooooo

2:50 am

Oh? Haven't seen any yet.

2:50 am

I think everyone gave up, and went home.

2:50 am

Could be...

2:51 am

It isn't the easiest grid.

2:51 am

I have only 50 words, and

2:52 am

I have 63 but it was a struggle.

2:52 am

hello Christine and JC

2:52 am

I shall have to list to find the rest.

2:52 am

Hello, Westford

2:52 am

Hello westford...

I'm still here and only have 41 words, has anyone a clue for either of the i for nbt please

2:53 am

been watching Wallender..love Kenneth Branagh

2:53 am

The words came fairly easily, while I was in my downtime, but it's taken forever to enter them.

2:53 am

I'll probably slap myself once I do list - no doubt I'm missing some silly and what should be obvious little words.

2:54 am

in 5/16 and in 8/55

2:54 am

lots of gerunds JC

2:54 am

hello jenny

3:06 am

3:08 am

I certainly don't have any te9.

3:17 am

I just discovered that 22 Oct will be my 3rd anniversary on here

3:17 am

I might have to bake a cake

3:18 am

I wonder if folk would die of fright if they saw how many hours were spent playing Babble?

3:18 am

I imagine so sood lol

3:19 am

it is definitely an extraordinary place

3:19 am

Fright? Shock, perhaps. It would take more to give someone a fright, I should think?

3:19 am

Sorry - wrong choice of words. But you know what I mean!

3:20 am

Like a hairy toe...

3:21 am

oh do tell please

3:21 am

or a dentist....

4:30 am

it s quite depressing, the build up to all that shopping and cooking

4:31 am

every year we say we are going to cut down and not go mad, it never works!

4:34 am

It is a nice way to end the year though. We enjoy the prep and celebrating with family & friends - have cut down a heap on the presents though

Hello all, was lurking but have to say now that is crazy, it really is not Holiday time yet. maybe in November.

4:35 am

No Mummy, you encouraged me to enter. Hello.

I usually lurk in the morning because I have to go to work soon.

4:36 am

Much better, I am still getting used to it, and my schedule this week was a nightmare, but in general it is a lot better, thanks!

7:20 am

It took me forever to get that 6 and 9. wtg! sprite is hoping we will get a huge grid for the weekend after all the small ones.

7:21 am

Usually after a cluster of wee grids, we get nailed with like a 500+. *sigh*

7:22 am

Are you still in Autumn or is winter starting to show itself?

7:23 am

Still Fall, temps have been quite reasonable for the time of year. We had the best weather Summer in a very long time. I hope the trend continues. How 'bout across the Pond?

7:24 am

Short spates of summer with some very hot bits now 'tis Autumnal and forecast for the south is first frosts and for the v north first snow flurries.

7:25 am

We just had our first frost here on the Coast on Thursday. That's amazing really, for the first.

7:26 am

Maybe you are due a milder winter (fingers crossed). Hows Uni doing?

7:27 am

She's doign very well. Had a cold this week, and then her Main Squeeze caught a man cold. Both sick at the same time. Glad I wasn't there..... :)

7:29 am

LOL re man cold but hope they are both feeling better soon. Don't know how much of the chat you see but did you hear that Haz is going to be the Mother of the Bridge next summer?

7:30 am

*Bridge even!

7:30 am

Bride !!!

7:30 am

my keyboard is possessed.

7:32 am

7:34 am

BRB and Lori don't you dare go anywhere.

7:40 am

No proper nouns...so what is the Oliver Twist character doing in here?

9:21 am

Hi NB...guess sit has become a verb

9:22 am

*it, not sit...typos

9:22 am

well, I guess I'm not complaining. this grid feels like I'm pulling teeth, today.

9:23 am

the gerund ending helps a great deal

9:24 am

S'pose you're right, but I'm not sure if I can handle a grid with no 's' ;)

9:25 am

I know what you mean..we get so used to making words plural or past tense

morning :)

9:26 am

Hi GE

9:26 am

right! oh, I don't know. must be something in the water around here - I have been especially dense recently.

9:26 am

hey, Good :)

9:29 am

this grid could use a few more t's in my opinion

9:29 am

this grid could use a firm backhand to the face, in my opinion ;)

9:29 am

oooooh...

9:30 am

someone is in a mood

I will have to do that too. Words are not just jumping out

2:20 pm

2:20 pm

thanks hurshy

2:20 pm

in8 less important

2:23 pm

i think reeat should be a word. cows chew cud, right?

2:24 pm

thanks wild, thanks good enough!

2:24 pm

I need a re6

2:24 pm

thanks wildcat

2:24 pm

re6/30 counterargue, disprove a claim

2:24 pm

re6/18 turn from one's wrath

2:25 pm

got it for fireflies

2:25 pm

hagd e1

2:26 pm

i'm still not familiar enough with text speak. it usually takes me a minute to decide if something is a weird typo, or something that means something if i can decipher it properly...

2:27 pm

I have no idea what she said

2:27 pm

have a good day everyone

2:27 pm

by hurshy

2:28 pm

no, that's what she said :)

2:28 pm

oh! see, I am way less educated than you!

2:28 pm

my kids know to phone me

2:28 pm

i don't think it's a matter of education... just... puzzling it out.

2:30 pm

well, i'm very stuck, and on the dreaded 14, unsurprisingly.

2:34 pm

ey 5/14 anyone?

2:35 pm

add... add... um... let's see... the beginning of french "to laugh"

2:35 pm

not me

2:35 pm

thanks hurshy

2:36 pm

let's see what else... the whole word is also an anagram of a famous study bible...

2:37 pm

got it

2:37 pm

I hate that word

2:37 pm

it is rather unpleasant looking, isn't it. it looks like sauerkraut tastes.

halo, kids! doing a bit of tweeting again, thought I might as well try to finish this!!

2:48 pm

clue for the tr 6 / 18 please

don't have that one yet......

Could I get a clue for re6/30, please?

2:55 pm

hi all. around for about 10 minutes, so I can clue. The tr6/18 is a chemistry term, means a compound with three double bonds.

2:56 pm

if you re6/30 something you prove it to be wrong

halo, NB!!

have ya finished this??

2:57 pm

re 6 means to argue against

2:58 pm

Hey, George :) see you've been confusing my cousin :P yeah, I'm done, just had a free 10 minutes so I thought I'd stop in.

don't get that tr6/18 clue at all, then I'm not educated as you must be!!

god you must be bloody good at this then??

confusing him?? was trying to make things less confusing by explaining them--didn't do a good job of it then eh??

3:00 pm

not at all, it was like pulling teeth, took me ages! sorry though, I suck at giving clues. Remember A level chemistry like it was yesterday ;)

your not on the messy then??

yeah, well some of us never got that far, I left school at the age of 15!!

3:01 pm

ahh, he'll probably understand from your explanation! looked funny at first though. boy needs to get 'flaming' ;)

eh?? when did I say 'boy needs to get flaming'??

oh yeah, he needs to get that word? ha!

3:02 pm

yeah!! glad you explained, I had no idea how. Didn't fancy looking up the Korean for that!

ha, ha!! wonder if he'll understand my explanation!?

there's a funny bit on J's page!!

3:06 pm

oh yeah? I'll take a look - I should have coached him on a bit more colloquial English!

3:06 pm

he already gets confused by my slang.

who, J?? ha!

yeah, it's sorta important to know our slang, ha!

is there any slang used in Korea??

3:10 pm

yeah, just so he doesn't think we set fire to our celebrities here :P

3:10 pm

yeah, I think so - not that I know much of it, since my Korean is basic at best!

ha, yeah! he thought J was on fire!!

3:12 pm

well, being on yahoo with us will certainly be an education for him ;) he is such a sweet person though. Very polite; noticed he called you Mr ----- in your guestbook!

3:14 pm

Hello...

halo, Jellen!!

yeah, NB, told him not to do that, ha!

3:15 pm

How are you today, NB and George?

3:15 pm

Hi, Jellen :)

3:16 pm

It's just culture clash George, would have seemed very rude to him, to call you 'George' straight away!

3:17 pm

I'm reet Jellen :) and yourself?

I have been on the phone and have still not gotten re6/30 is it a compound word so it would be and re + 4 letter word?

3:18 pm

I'm good...found a friend to go with me tonight, so concerns allayed!

3:20 pm

It's not a compound word, no. think re + a woodwind instrument that makes sound when you blow air over the hole - minus an 'l'. I'm a terrible cluer and that's all I can think of!

I finally got thanks all for bearing with me.

3:21 pm

the one i have is not compound, marc - to re**** an argument

3:21 pm

re 6/30 = re* (sports official) + *** (slang for a SUV)

Got to go thanks

3:21 pm

Hi, LA, bye Marc...

sorry, NB, been a bit busy tweeting!!

3:25 pm

George, you always seem to disappear when I enter chat...I'm getting a complex!

3:26 pm

:-)

eh, Jellen?? I was busy tweeting on Twitter and updating my yahoo page at the same time!!

and still am!!

3:26 pm

No worries George, I'll have to be off in a sec anyway - Frank just got in and I'm up for a cuddle on the sofa with the cats!

3:27 pm

Okay, then...

oh yeah, I see

I'm always busy when I'm on here, so there's gonna be lots of lapses, you know how it is! folk like to tweet and DM messages to me they expect responses to, silly of them, lol!

3:28 pm

lol

3:28 pm

lol! too popular ;)

I still have 38 left, should probably give up!!

yeah, that's it, dunno why?!?

3:29 pm

that's how I felt about last night's grid. Literally took J giving me clues word by word! And today's is nasty too.

yeah? well you got today's all right??

so you must be a lot smarter than me, cos I'm not!!

3:30 pm

Could I have a clue for the upper left U, please?

female organs of reproduction, Jellen

wombs!

3:30 pm

Thanks, George!

3:30 pm

Think Nirvana album, In Ut***, change the last vowel!

your welcome, Jellen!

3:31 pm

And the bottom right O?

rowing!!

3:31 pm

Thanks, Nancy!

3:31 pm

LOL. Your clue is better, George. Didn't get why you were just yelling 'wombs' for a minute :P

rowing a boat, like, not arguing, ha!

3:31 pm

what you row a boat with, and the gerund ending!

ha, NB! no, don't normally yell that!!

3:31 pm

Oh, got it...Thanks both!

3:31 pm

nbt

I yell lots of stuff but never that, or they might wanna lock me away, lol!

the Boy's gone mental!! yeah, could just see it!

3:33 pm

lol

3:33 pm

Well, just think I shoulda paid more attention in biology, if my first thought is music and not wombs!

3:34 pm

Cracking album though, remember "All Apologies" was the first song I ever taught myself on guitar!

yeah, probably so NB!!

well, can't say much for your musical taste, lol!

3:38 pm

Hah! Well wish I was old enough to have experienced Nirvana when they were still going, Cobain died when I was four.

you didn't miss much, ha!

not exactly my cup of tea!

phantom: eternity

3:39 pm

Oh, Nancy, you make me feel old...

yeah, me too and bet I'm a lot older!!

3:40 pm

Totally my cup of tea. Bleak and angry ;) Nah, I like all sorts. Wish I could've shifted my electric guitar and CD collection with me when I left home!

oh yeah, I'm 3 years older than you, Jellen

3:41 pm

Not so old, then, George!

old enough, big 50 next June!!

aww no, you couldn't take your music with ya??

oh yeah, reminds me...........

3:45 pm

nah, very limited in what I could take - just what I could carry, really!

3:46 pm

So sad, Jesse...

3:46 pm

I'd like to suggest Keith Caputo to you NB. If you haven't heard him before, you might like him if Cobain is good to your ear.

3:47 pm

Hello, Niliamne

3:47 pm

well, I was gonna ask my sister if she could send some of my stuff on, but my parents dumped it! So I'm putting a positive spin on it and calling it a fresh start.

3:47 pm

Hi Jellen

3:48 pm

Hi Neliamne...I'll check him out, always on the lookout for new music to love!

3:49 pm

Same thing happened to Tim when he left his crazy ex-girlfriend...he had loads of collectibles that he had to leave behind...

3:49 pm

Same thing happened to Tim when he left his crazy ex-girlfriend...he had loads of collectibles that he had to leave behind...

3:50 pm

Oops, sorry for the repeat...

you can get loads of mp3s off me, NB!

being a DJ I have a massive music collection

aww that's too bad, Jellen--and NB, sad to collect so much then just have to leave it!!

3:52 pm

my morals don't allow me to download... I'm a GOOD boy, George ;)

not saying you should do that, NB, saying I can send ya stuff

just to have on your computer, like

3:53 pm

well, could have been worse, eh? I count myself lucky I packed what I was taking before I came out, else I would have been chucked out with nothing!

like what I'm sending you now, your not refusing that are ya?? ha, ha!

yeah, can't understand your parents at all, vicious!!

when you've not done anything wrong at all!!

3:54 pm

Very lucky Jesse...and I agree with George!

3:54 pm

well that's different; that I couldn't buy ;)

yeah, plus it's my own music so if I say it's all right it's all right!!

3:55 pm

exactly. can't exactly arrest yourself for piracy, can you? :P

eh, probably not and don't think anyone else could either!

do you use the msn messenger, Jellen?

4:03 pm

Yes

oh yeah? can send you what I'm sending Jesse on there then, if ya want--explain there, put me on by my firstname.lastname@hotmail.co.uk if ya want!

without the apostrophe in my last name of course, ha!

4:06 pm

Trying to load it now...comp is incredibly slow today...

4:09 pm

Going to have to restart comp...brb...

4:21 pm

No one can make you feel in8 without your consent...Eleanor Roosevelt

4:45 pm

4:45 pm

4:46 pm

Hi, mich...thanks!

4:47 pm

Finally passed the halfway point!

4:47 pm

4:47 pm

yes... i agree.. both Roosevelts.. fdr and eleanor..

4:48 pm

Oh, and I should go to the PB for fe 4/7...

4:48 pm

im disabled.. so i look up to fdr -- a disabled man elected president a record 4 times

4:49 pm

he was a great president. It's too bad that the media has made physical looks such an important part of being a good leader. And not just "good looks" but the sense of "fitness"

4:50 pm

right. the homely of the homeliests can be amazing..

4:50 pm

like barbara jordan of texas

4:51 pm

my very first boss was an unatrractive woman who ran for governor.. her opponent called her "a tax cheat. the truth is as ugly as she is"

4:51 pm

she lost in a landslide.

4:51 pm

not nice.

4:52 pm

no but she attacked back her new slogan was "not just another pretty face"

4:52 pm

which is honest in her case, sounds like

7s, 8s, 9 done

4:53 pm

good for you!

4:53 pm

Hi, Good Enough

4:53 pm

yeah,, she was amazing,.. but she was victim of the 1994 republican wave

Hi Jellen

4:53 pm

I'm about ready to get out the winter jammies at night...

6:19 pm

yep. tom put a 'nother blankie on last night too --

6:19 pm

oh, and don't forget sleep socks...may not have enough of those!

6:19 pm

I am going to plug in the heater for the bathroom before Monday so I don't freeze when I am getting ready in the morning.

6:19 pm

heat has been on here and winter jammies the last two nights

6:20 pm

If I could just get Koda to lay down on my toes, I could hold out on the blankets and heater a little longer!

6:21 pm

hey doren! ((hugs)) *image of a beagle a) holding still long enough to warm anyone's toes and b) actually sleeping while on said toes*

6:22 pm

getting ready to go outside in the hottub. most of the summer it was too warm to appreciate it. how's school stid?

6:23 pm

I keep imagining it, too, stid...cuz it sure hasn't happened!

6:23 pm

*hides under laptop to avoid talking about school* (don't get me started doren)

6:23 pm

LOL pini!

6:23 pm

oooooh, I'm jealous, dorens!

6:23 pm

hope the kids are treating yu well, that's all

6:23 pm

I would just be happy for a bathtub that is the right size for me and with enough water to actually be warm when filled...

6:24 pm

had a rough week in that department doren, and I think I know what it isn't working but there is not a d4 thing I can do about it.

6:24 pm

about ten years ago the stone patio outside my bck door was all coming up and needed to be replaced and it was so expensive, i had to take out a pension loan. My son said, as long as you're borrowing, borrow some more and put in the hottub you know you've always wanted. i thought he was crazy. but what a good idea it turned out to be

6:24 pm

three weeks to go... will sleep for a week when I am done

6:24 pm

try finding a bathtub I can 'relax' in stid...not sure they're out there unless one lives in a mansion or a home decorating show room!

6:24 pm

tsk tsk...it's still nineties in the day and sixties at night..it might be a bit chilly..bu no blankets yet...

6:24 pm

your children are pretty smart, doren1

6:25 pm

no kidding, dorens! clever son

6:25 pm

middle school kids are so hard to deal with these days, but you'll win them over. give it time

6:25 pm

I would be happy -- deliriously so -- with a 5' long old-fashioned claw-foot tub such as I had when in college. The ONLY redeeming feature of that rat hole slum apartment I lived in

6:25 pm

the hot tub is tiny... a three seater, nestled in beside the stone patio and the stone wall up the hill. it is so unobtrusive and cute

6:26 pm

*ignoring PAV for obvious mean streak*

6:27 pm

my comfort zone is in warm sunny climes...I didn't mean to offend anyone...peanut butter cookies anyone?

6:27 pm

i'd love some, thanks pav

6:27 pm

raspberry lemonade?

6:27 pm

oh well, just passed halfway. back to coding data. I am enjoying this piece... LOL perhaps I ought to revert to admin assistant.

6:27 pm

<-- I prefer cooler climates...just the season didn't go from hot one day to cold the next...a little shocking on the system...

6:28 pm

mmmm. PAV, you are my new bestest friend. *grateful look as I wander off with refreshments* *micro-poof*

6:28 pm

mmmm. PAV, you are my new bestest friend. *grateful look as I wander off with refreshments* *micro-poof*

6:28 pm

i like all seasons, just wish winter were one month shorter

6:28 pm

back in a bit. (and I swear I didn't hit that key twice!)

6:28 pm

like, if spring really DID start march 21, that would be just lovely

6:29 pm

3 months each...that's all I ask for...

6:29 pm

yes, pini, but march always feels like winter here.. snow and cold and everything is bare and ugly

6:29 pm

oh, wait...make that 2 months each with a transitional month in between!!!

6:30 pm

stid...af5 5 classes in calc, I found that even for teaching, one doesn't need the higher math 'cept t show that one can do it for testing purposes only... My mom hated algebra when she was in teaching school, and af5 retiring found it wasn't needed either...granted her degree was in bilngual elem ed...

6:30 pm

i could go for that... seems we haven't had much transition lately.... go straight from winter into spring... last week i was in shorts and this week feels like winter

6:30 pm

and then some, dorens..

6:32 pm

I think we're having fall now...hence the cooler weather and spots of rain...(cooler being 90s) "fall" fall starts in Dec and lasts for one month before winter arrives for two months and then spring is on for one month and summer is here again

6:32 pm

well, hot tub (and my buddy) beckons... later, guys

6:32 pm

enjoy dorens

6:32 pm

stop bragging pav

6:33 pm

it gets cool/cold here fore winter, but no snow on the ground...can find 12' at Crater Lake in June tho! (only 3 hrs away)

6:33 pm

we on other hand have 2 mons+ of fall...4-5 mon winter- 3 month spring

6:33 pm

and 1 month summer of 95+ weather

6:33 pm
