1:00 am

Although it really means to steal a dog...

As in 'kidnap'.

i think sleeping like a canine is referred to more often than as a feline actually?

fireworks

Yes. m9. :P

1:01 am

and people actually do do6/30 other people's canines.

1:01 am

wtg josh!

It means something else, with a canine beginning.

1:01 am

I see JC already explained that

1:01 am

and thanks for the word too btw.

1:02 am

Yes, Jill. :( Which is one reason mine are both microchipped. Fortunately they're crossbreeds, so less likely to be do6,30ped.

Speedo? Ruru modelled a Speedo?!

And I missed it...

1:14 am

1:15 am

rur and speedos are inseparable ;)

1:15 am

Why did I know J C wouldnt miss that one lol

1:15 am

Yes - well done, Jill. Now find the other 8 and the 9. ;)

1:15 am

Really, Jill? Ruru's a Speedo wearer?

1:15 am

I wonder, loredana. :P

1:15 am

Yeah, sure, JC :P

1:16 am

That's all right, Jill - Ian is. ;)

1:16 am

We all tease ruru about his speedo

1:16 am

Although I prefer him out of one even more. ;)

1:16 am

Ah, I see...

1:16 am

Noted. ;)

1:16 am

sigh

1:16 am

J C must remember the aussie lifeguards in their speedos!!

1:17 am

Naturally. ;)

1:17 am

I never miss anything like that...

1:17 am

plum smugglers.

1:19 am

1:20 am

Corrupting her, loredana? What ARE you talking about? :/

1:20 am

nah -- impossible, lobo

1:20 am

Quite. :P She corrupts ME. Hmmm. Speaking of the impossible...

1:20 am

Well we all know what J C is like very persuasive at times

1:21 am

Am I? Hmmm. I'll have to see about that...

1:21 am

Oh REALLY, JC!

1:21 am

1:27 am

1:28 am

Whatever they have here...

1:28 am

Must be careful now, so off for une tasse du the.

1:28 am

Careful of what?

1:28 am

Not to say a certain word? ;)

1:28 am

That's Twinings, isn't it?

1:29 am

not to say cu5/18

1:29 am

Yes.

1:29 am

Hi Christine - what flavour today.

1:29 am

And yes...

1:30 am

Hello, luv - Earl Grey, but I think it may be stale, not a strong flavor of bergamot.

1:30 am

Marianne may join us.

1:30 am

off for that Earl Grey

1:30 am

Well let's go to the source and get some eh?

h'lo, all.

1:31 am

Who is Marianne?

1:31 am

Hi, jhb.

1:31 am

hi melon

1:31 am

And melonheadjujube...

1:32 am

Judith (jhb) and I have a sister, Marianne, who hasn't Babbled for a while.

1:32 am

is marianne jhb?

1:32 am

ah, I see

1:32 am

Ah, I see. What's her player name?

1:32 am

Marianne signs in as Mal.

1:33 am

Haven't seen a Mal

1:33 am

Neither of my sisters Babble. My partner has a few times, though.

1:33 am

Hi this is becoming happy families. Anyone else like to join our family?

1:33 am

Not for quite a while

1:33 am

And a couple of personal friends do...

1:33 am

I can't get any of my family to babble :(

1:33 am

Ah. Well you have your Babble family, Jill?

1:34 am

Well Jilli Christine is VERY persuasive

1:34 am

Mind don't either...

1:34 am

Jillibus, they're probably aware how much time could be spent here.

1:34 am

I've just been told I am also, jhb. News to me...

1:34 am

my daughters came in a while back but just to say hi

1:34 am

Christine - wat's your new icon?

1:34 am

Yes, I think they're afraid to, Christine

1:34 am

Quite, Christine.

1:35 am

It's terribly addictive.

1:35 am

Your daughters have Babble accounts, flosey?

1:35 am

Some nights, I sign in at 10pm flip, and get carried away, before I know it, its

1:35 am

But like all addicitions we can quit when we want to huh

1:35 am

s 6am.

1:35 am

oops

1:35 am

I doubt it, JC

1:35 am

sure, jhb

1:36 am

Babbleanon. :P

1:36 am

Babbleholics Anonymous?

1:36 am

that's us!

1:36 am

Yes JC - one day at a time

1:37 am

And every day there's a new grid. :P

1:37 am

I quit smoking 46 years ago, but miss the smell of the smoke -- I think Babble is like that, I quit for over a year, but was drawn back -- oh well, I'd just waste my time sleeping, or summat.

1:37 am

Dinner time here - 7.30. Back later

1:38 am

A couple of years ago there was a Babble Shop (imaginary) and one item was a catheter so nobody would have to leave for a pee

1:38 am

'Summat' - as they say 'oop north'? :P

1:38 am

Jilli - did they do deliveries so we wouldn't have to have kitchen breaks?

1:39 am

Ugh, Jill. :P I don't mind making bathroom trips, thank goodness. Or let dogs in and out, make tea, etc. I'll even talk to Ian once in a while...

1:39 am

sorry, no, jhb, but you could start that business

1:39 am

Like the way Ian comes after everything and everyone else. How does he feel about that?

1:40 am

He doesn't, jhb - far from it. ;)

1:40 am

Well jilli you can buy and sell almost anything on line now - so I might just do that.

1:40 am

lol, jhb :)

1:43 am

The solution is to have an envelope full of menus

1:44 am

what?

1:44 am

back with liptons black and 30 to go

1:44 am

Hmmm?

1:44 am

I don't cook

1:44 am

just noticed -- no S :(

1:45 am

And no AE, either. :/

1:45 am

well done, lobo -- 100 to go here

1:45 am

Yes. I'm stuck with 70 to go.

1:46 am

so you're not as stuck as you thought, eh JC?

1:47 am

hello everyone

1:47 am

I'm exactly as stuck as I thought, Jill. Still have 89 words and 70 to find. :P

1:47 am

is it a nice grid or a toughy today?

1:47 am

Hello, Lilecama

1:47 am

hi Lile

1:47 am

Hello, Lilecama.

1:47 am

hello lilecama

1:47 am

Hmmm...

1:47 am

J C stop thinking about the speedos then

1:47 am

It was nice until I got stuck. :P

1:48 am

Hello lile, it moves along

1:48 am

Oh right, JC -- I didn't think backwards if you see what I mean.

1:49 am

hm , thanks- I'll dip the toes in anyway..

1:53 am

oh my, monkeyed em6!

1:54 am

exciting jilli!

1:54 am

the monkeys are working well today

1:56 am

Now I know why my uncle took "rhubarb and soda" every morning at breakfast.

1:58 am

because of em6??

1:58 am

sounds like an odd combination, jilli

1:58 am

effective, I'm sure!

1:58 am

I never could understand it, flosey.

2:03 am

babble's stuck. I can't add words!

2:04 am

it's the hour lile

2:04 am

are you having high winds up there, jilli

2:04 am

happens every day/night at this time, lil

2:04 am

just starting here, lights just flickered! ugh

2:04 am

I had that problem Lile - just closed down internet and restarted. Fireworks

2:04 am

2:04 am

No flickers though

2:05 am

YAY anike

2:05 am

2:05 am

2:05 am

wtg Anike

2:06 am

let me check, flosey -- I'm not hearing anything now but at about 10:30 when my next-door neighbour left she remarked on it.

2:06 am

ah, there we are! it does happen quite often. The twitching hour ;)

2:06 am

TY all

2:07 am

oh yes, flosey -- opened the front door and there was a lot of loud tree-rustling

2:07 am

I'm off - happy babbling

2:07 am

going to make tea, brb

2:07 am

well done anike!

2:07 am

nice name for it, lile -- we've called it the nightly hiccup

2:07 am

where are you, lil?

2:08 am

:)

2:08 am

Lilecama, I like that - the twitching hour.

2:08 am

far away across the sea jilli

2:09 am

thanks Christine!

2:09 am

I mean, what time zone are you in, lile, if you don't want to be specific

2:10 am

ZxcvZxzxc vbnznbvcxzzxc

2:10 am

2:52 am

Hello! Greetings to Hobbitellina

2:53 am

she's prowling around wanting a walk ...

2:53 am

not tthat spaniels prowl very well

2:53 am

No, they're more bouncy and springy than prowly.

2:54 am

very much so

2:54 am

picture a pack of spaniels surrounding prey, jumping up and down and wiggling! hahah

2:55 am

Who's on dog walking duty this morning?

2:56 am

husband, I can't take her on long walks yet

2:56 am

hobbit has been known to wiggle at a downed rabbit ...

2:56 am

I thought so.

2:59 am

maybe next week for me

2:59 am

Any restrictions on you driving?

3:00 am

nope :) as long as I can do emergency stops it's fine

3:01 am

That's good, not driving is restrictive.

3:02 am

Have you had an operation Ata?

3:02 am

especially with a new job!

3:02 am

yes, arthroscopy last week

3:03 am

And she donated spare brain capacity at the same time.

3:03 am

She's very public spirited.

3:04 am

I do try

3:04 am

Are they pleased with you - that is are you happy with it? Job too???? You have been busy

3:04 am

Yes, we need details of when the job starts etc.

3:05 am

and job description pls

3:05 am

officially started last week, but unofficially tomorrow!

3:05 am

...if that is not too nosy

3:05 am

Never mind nosy, lynxxx, we're entitled to know!

3:06 am

working for Kent Wildlife Trust as a marine officer - looking after survey programmes (diving and on the shore), marine advocacy etc

3:06 am

You're going to be a voice for the fish? Does Hobbit get to come as well?

3:07 am

she can come along on some things, I'm sure

3:07 am

yep, I have to learn salmon dialects

3:07 am

Lovely...all that volunteering ...what goes round, comes back etc

3:07 am

yes!!

3:08 am

and it's part time, half a week, so I have time for art as well. It's pretty much perfect

3:08 am

and guaranteed for 3 years

3:08 am

and and do you get to wear a uniform ----with badges!?

3:08 am

That's super, Ata.

3:09 am

nooooo lol. no uniform! I need to buy some heavy duty waterproofs though. And I get my own pigeonhole!

3:09 am

wow 3 year guarantee - unheard of

3:09 am

And an official clipboard. You must have an official clipboard. You can work your way up to needing a walky-talky.

3:09 am

I have an official diary and notebook too

3:10 am

lol

3:10 am

and an official GPS unit

3:10 am

I'm impressed.

3:10 am

That is really great Ata, I am very happy for you - and the fishes

3:11 am

http://www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/ is a wonderful place to work

3:12 am

I hope the fishies are happy, they now have 2 marine officers to look after them

3:13 am

The word will probably get around and all British fish will gravitate to the Kent coast. Fishermen around the coast will scratch their heads and wonder what's going on.

3:13 am

SevenOaks, that is where my fathers brother lived before he came over here 10 years ago

3:13 am

oh really? wow!

3:16 am

this is a hard grid

3:16 am

Lots of individual words.

3:17 am

oops better check the oven BBS

3:23 am

trying to decide whether I want to pa5 or study today

3:23 am

got half, but for nbt pls, anything for the u or the lower o?

3:23 am

ok4 - vegetable

3:24 am

slap me with one of ata's fish!

3:24 am

up6 - up plus a feathered missile used in pubs.

3:24 am

thank you haz

3:25 am

oi4, piggy noise

3:25 am

You're welcome. Extend that up6 for up9.

3:25 am

ty rbud!

3:26 am

up always seems to be teamed with such unlikely words

3:26 am

TY Haz

3:26 am

wow, 9 cleared, ty ty

3:26 am

can I ask you lot of generally intelligent people a question? It's something for the coastal defences thingy I'm studying, and I'd like to see "non-marine" reactions

3:26 am

oooh, thanks for the up9! :)

3:26 am

I know. up8 times 2 as well.

3:27 am

Are we generally intelligent? I'm flattered!

3:27 am

I am worried about that 'generally'

3:27 am

I thought I'd add the generally proviso in!

3:27 am

oh my, what a grand infusion of words!!!!

3:27 am

just in case someone isn't feeling intelligent

3:28 am

up8 - the activity when people tell you about their lives on Facebook/Twitter. Or another up8, up plus what Michelin inspectors give to restaurants and hotels.

3:28 am

very nice it has been a loong day here and I am feeling a bit brain dead

3:29 am

nice to clear the u's!

3:29 am

I'll assume you all are. Imagine this ... you have a lovely old house on some cliffs. You've lived there for ages, loads of memories etc, and the cliffs have been the subject of good coastal defences. Now, the government says they aren't going to maintain the defences any more and in a few years, your beloved house will get swept over the cliff. Boom.

3:29 am

You need to eat fish, lynxxx - brain food.

3:29 am

that is too awful, ata!

3:29 am

Do you feel that you should be entitled to compensation from the government for all / some of that house's worth? Or relocation costs (as an alternative)

3:29 am

but not ata's

3:30 am

It depends on what conditions were when you bought the house. Was coastal defence promised for ever more?

3:30 am

Yes to compensation - probably relocation. When I bought the house they did not tell me they were going to stop

3:30 am

ah, there's the crux. The govt *never* promise for ever more, but most people *assume* the defences will always be there

3:32 am

but also sea can eat away at cliffs so quickly that you could inherit a house 10 miles from the sea and have it nearly in the water now

3:32 am

I don't think I would ever assume anything. In a sense, if you choose to stay somewhere where there is a risk, however remote, I think you have to accept some of the pitfalls. But I would expect some help, especially if I'd been there a long time.

3:33 am

pangon

3:33 am

whoops, sorry

3:34 am

that's called running out fo words and typing at ra****

3:34 am

*poof*

3:34 am

Bye, ruby.

3:34 am

but if the govt had been maintaining the defences previously then they can't/shoudn't stop. If it is to save money, then surely they should pass over some to the people who are going to suffer

3:34 am

so .. one would naturally expect some help, you'd hope ... but then - if you got your way and managed to persuade the government to keep on with the defences, would you expect the people along the shore that those sea defences would affect to be compensated too (generally flood defences screw up places downshore from them - people might be flooded there, have their own houses fall off cliffs)

3:34 am

bye haz and thanks for all the words!

3:34 am

No problem ruby.

3:35 am

sea defences generally stop being maintained because it's for the best for the coast - just not the best for the people who happen to live there

3:35 am

that sounds like a horrible problem, much like in California, where people build on cliffs AND faults

3:35 am

So the coast isn't ever a fixed point?

3:35 am

yep, CA is a nightmare! FL too

3:36 am

no, the coast should be allowed to erode and rebuild itself - we just constrain it by building defences and towns on the seaside

3:36 am

we live on a tiny, old fault line, they occasional have 2.0 or 3.0 earthquakes, but nothing much

3:36 am

and it's extremely expensive land because there is so little of it

3:36 am

we have similar here - upmarket coastal area - houses getting closer and closer to the beach - one very high tide and lots of damage done - who is responsible ??

3:37 am

they are saying our local beach will be gone in 10 years if they don't do anything...at least we are in a bay

3:37 am

hello ursh. Are you near Capetown? or Durban?

3:37 am

hi Ursh

3:37 am

I suppose I'd go for the general good - what's best for the coast and what will make most people reasonably happy about the security of their homes. Unfortunately it looks as though some might have to make the sacrifice in order to secure the homes of the majority.

3:37 am

it really is an awful problem, and one where people and the coastline are in direct opposition - which is quite rare, usually there's some compromise that can work

3:38 am

Durban ruby - north coast took a huge beating in high seas

3:38 am

And now, having proved my general intelligence, I must be off! Lovely to see you and I'll be back later to wrestle with the grid.

3:38 am

thank you for your general intelligence!

3:39 am

bye Haz - enjoy lunch

3:39 am

*gone with the ti4/5*

3:39 am

and the Indian Ocean is pretty wild anyway. When I uused to go to PE from time to time, sometimes the waves would break over the road below the hotel and the ocean park

3:40 am

I feel if you want to live that close to the sea you must surely be aware of the risk - today there is no shortage of info at hand

3:40 am

I just hate writing essays that are 100% doom and gloom.It's so depressing that there's just no solutions acceptable to all

3:41 am

do you think there should be limits on developers? not allow them to build too close in areas where there are issues?

3:41 am

I gree, ursh, but people want those ocean views.....

3:41 am

for sure, ata

3:41 am

Hello everybody. Brisk frosty morning here.

3:41 am

*real poof*

3:42 am

Sure - relevant council/building/planners should cover that

3:42 am

me too, but there really isn't. It's very silly

3:42 am

4:40 am

always believe the grid over lickety

4:40 am

not looked at lickety yet, there must over on the list.

4:40 am

lickety thinks there's a de7 word which the grid won't take...

4:41 am

Oh, for heavens sake. I have been trying that de7 all morning!

4:41 am

its interesting cos the word is in the dictionary

4:42 am

hello, Kazzer!

4:42 am

hi Kazz

4:42 am

good morning all - been lurking for a bit as i am watching the grand prix as well

4:43 am

in6 is compound - little used nowadays

4:43 am

it was an interesting race, with such heavy rain..lol

4:43 am

yeah, well, there's lots of words that the grid allows which aren't in the dictionary. I always have problems when I play boggle with people...

4:44 am

ooo my fav type of fish scales are in the grid

4:45 am

I am sure you don't mean the weighing kind either

4:45 am

well, i found a in5, but not the in6 yet..lol

4:45 am

last two in's are being very evasive

4:46 am

in6 is compound Zooz

4:46 am

5:32 am

ohm, but erm... you have to set something aside for 24 hours.... and I don't have any parsley...

5:32 am

Back in 5, my eyes might see more words when I return.

5:34 am

7:07 am

Scrambled eggs are one of my faves...Mom, can we have bacon next time with the eggs?

7:40 am

7:40 am

YES!!

7:40 am

I have a friend in Georgia who says they haven't had rain for months. Not so here.

7:40 am

we sure can Annie

sorry Ouw, I don't have it yet

7:41 am

molly, it's really bad here

7:41 am

I can go fry some up now if you would like

7:41 am

thank you all, if wishes were healing I would be fine now

7:41 am

annie, I like to add herbs and cheese -- sound good?

7:41 am

Hi Ouw

7:42 am

It all sounds wonderful...next time Mom, dont mean to sound ungrateful

7:42 am

hi mom

7:42 am

Herbs and cheese in scrambled eggs. Yum.

7:42 am

not at all, Annie

7:42 am

everything's better with cheese LOL

7:42 am

wishes aren't healing but they sure are positive energy headed your way

7:42 am

hey, ouwachita :-)

7:42 am

I put cheese in sweetie's eggs but not mine

7:43 am

hi une

7:43 am

de7 is like satan and two more letters but i cant even monkeytype it...

7:43 am

Someone once told me to take every good wish and prayer and weave it into a sparkly blanket of comfort around you.

7:43 am

Wow, super duper breakfast is on its way next time...where bacon is involved we have to get crossy

7:44 am

ooh, that is comforting, Molly

7:44 am

There isn't a de7 Ouw Lickety has an extra word today there are 159 in the grid.

7:45 am

FMitch, to the rescue! Good afternoon

7:45 am

aha...thanks fmitch...then only 159 words today?

7:45 am

tx fmitch, was trying everything! LOL

7:45 am

7:45 am

Hi FM!

thanks FM for the heads up on the extra word

7:46 am

7:46 am

congrats, ouw!!!

7:46 am

gratz Ouwachita

7:46 am

congrats, Ouw

wtg Ouw

7:46 am

Hi all, busy munching lunch so can't really chat otherwise I will make a mess on the keyboard but will be back soon. Congrats Ouw

7:46 am

Thanks for the heads up on the "no de7".

7:46 am

aw FM... but happy to see you anyway, however whort

7:46 am

enjoy lunch, FM

7:46 am

short, even

7:47 am

I blame FM for my messy keyboard

7:47 am

rightly so. She messed up mine as well.

7:47 am

one of these days I might pay the $14.95...but then I am pretty cheap...LOL

7:47 am

LOL but it is worth it Ouw.

7:48 am

must run -- picking up soup kitchen food donations at Whole Foods, then heading to my mom's -- later, all! *poof*

7:48 am

Best $14.95 I have ever spent

7:48 am

bye Une, all the best

7:48 am

bye, Une..sending loving vibes to Une's Mom

7:49 am

bye Une, have a safe trip

7:49 am

and as and when Dr_G gets the new site going Lickety will be redundant I believe?

7:49 am

congrat Ouw

7:49 am

Lickety redundant? Never, I say.

7:49 am

*hands towel to Annie and sprite, sorry* Lunch is finished now.

7:49 am

alas yes, the new site will not work together with lickety. But you get clues for every tile then.

7:50 am

So Ouw will have to cough up the $ then :)

7:51 am

we may want to do something nice for Lickety, as thanks, btw. I am under the impression drG has not been in contact with Lickety at all about this.

7:51 am

unlikely I will till I have more time to devote to this

7:52 am

working my butt off...see no butt left

7:52 am

what a wonderful idea Sprite, do let me know how I can help

7:52 am

Ouw, where are you?

7:52 am

Wish I had no butt ;)

7:53 am

Ouw .... you can work some of my butt off then, if you have gotten rid of yours :)

7:53 am

I would love to do something nice for Lickety..what a nice idea

7:53 am

just a suggestion, I hardly use Lickety, but I will see if I can think up something ok?

7:53 am

any suggestions highly appreciated!

7:54 am

will put our thinking caps on.

7:54 am

that Sprite is one smart cookie, hardly using Lickety

7:54 am

:)

7:54 am

been working 7 days a week for about 10 years now...every now and then I have to take a day off...getting tired of it fast

7:54 am

Mom, If we have to contribute money can you do it for me once again and I will repay you?

7:54 am

lol well if he were living closer, I might... ;) He is quite a cutie

7:54 am

I surely will Annie

7:55 am

Mom, thank you

7:55 am

that is pretty awful, Ouwachita.

7:55 am

rofl, Sprite

7:55 am

I'm not really up on the new site news. So, when the new site goes up, no list? Am I getting that right?

7:55 am

sprite! oh mrp...mrp....

7:55 am

you're welcome Annie

7:55 am

jeez Ouw you can't keep that up for ever you will burn out - what do you do?

7:55 am

i did go to Holland once tho...went to Keukenhof

7:55 am

Molly: a mini list for every tile, I believe.

7:55 am

Molly, it will be built in to Babble and you can click on a tile to get clues

7:56 am

don't worry, Lickety wouldn't be interested.

7:56 am

Molly, are you on Facebook?

7:56 am

AS we don't even know when the new site is going to be ready I am not going to worry.

7:56 am

de Keukenhof is beautiful. Did you enjoy it?

7:56 am

Yeah, I'm on Facebook. My kids made me join so I could see their photographs.

7:56 am

Something to keep in mind for Lickety

Facebook is so very unsafe, please all of you who use it be very very careful

7:58 am

I loved it...wish I could go every year...met a couple of women while I was there...VERY FRIENDLY COUNTRY...LOL

7:58 am

hehehe yes it is. Glad you had a good time, Ouwachita.

8:00 am

let me think on it, we still have time. New site has not been announced yet, no date anyway.

8:00 am

I agree about Facebook Nono. I'm hardly there. I check it once in a while for pictures, that's about it.

8:00 am

don't use FB. Not for anything personal anyway.

8:00 am

I don't, that is.

when i found out they retain all rights to anything you have there even if you close your account, well that did it for me

8:01 am

I don't use it either.

8:01 am

neither do I

8:02 am

were you one of the women I met, Sprite?

8:03 am

am afraid not, Ouwachita :(

8:03 am

Facebook baffles me. When did keeping in touch via email become too much work?

8:03 am

Molly, on Facebook type in Babble Community in the search box and you can see what Dr. God is up to

8:03 am

or even picking up the phone Molly :)

8:04 am

well, time to go to work...see you all later

8:04 am

or writing a letter? or am I a dinosaur

8:04 am

got a Facebook account when the babble community started one. That is the only reason and then my boys "friended" me. Such an honor. :)

8:04 am

on Facebook you can find people you don't have email from... look up old classmates or colleagues... flirt with strangers... all kind of things I don't do anyway.

8:04 am

bye Ouw, come back soon

8:04 am

bye bye Ouw

8:04 am

Bye Ouw have a good day.

8:04 am

bye Ouwachita, good luck at work

8:04 am

I agree. I would much rather telephone or write a letter

8:05 am

I figure it this way, everyone I want to keep in touch with I do. Screw the rest of them.

8:05 am

LOL, Mom

8:05 am

that is the spirit

8:06 am

I agree Mom.

8:06 am

I get on Facebook just to see if it is my turn at Lexulous. Thanking Doren and Lil*Monkey for that.

8:07 am

8:34 am

go and relax, FM. Still need 66 here, so too early to beg. *hugs*

8:34 am

annie?

8:35 am

then congrats to you, FM...relax and enjoy your day

8:35 am

okey dokey TTFN and happy babbling.

8:35 am

annie?

8:35 am

welcome back kje

8:36 am

wb kje

8:36 am

morning!

8:36 am

kje, I am going to take tylenol extra strength, 2 tabs 2x a day...is that okay

morning Feather

8:36 am

hi feather

8:36 am

anie, take 2 extra strength tylenol (or 3 regular strength) every 6 hours while awake (3 times daily) take it scheduled, ot as needed, scheduled just like a BP med, for the next 4-5 days. That will be your basal pain control

8:37 am

then if you eed additional, you can take alleve twice daily as well, but I suspect after a day of the tylenol dosed on a scheduled basis, you will not need much alleve

8:37 am

make sure you take the alleve with food, and do not take it the lay down

8:38 am

thank you very much, kje

8:39 am

yw

8:39 am

what's the grid like?

8:39 am

Good morning Babble buddies!

8:40 am

scrabs!

8:40 am

square, yellow/green and filled with words

8:40 am

tylenol is a very good pain medicine when taken scheduled, it prevents pain build up... not as effective once the pain gets really ramped up

8:40 am

sm8 sprite!

8:40 am

I love sprite

8:40 am

hi Scrabs

Good Morning Scrabs :)

8:40 am

:)

8:40 am

ga6?

8:41 am

kje, I just wrote your instructions down..thank you again

8:41 am

kweenie (= dutch for dunno)

8:41 am

Hi Sprite. I went hiking with a woman from Holland. Actually she is an American that married a Dutch man 35 yrs ago. She lives in a city called Sl______. I couldn't understand it. And, sadly, she doesn't know a Sprite or a Monkey Games.

8:42 am

slow morning in here

8:42 am

hi Scrabbs

8:42 am

lol Scrabs!

8:42 am

sorry you are in pain annie

8:42 am

I had 2 English muffins for breakfast, one with PB and one with butter.

8:42 am

8:43 am

YUM!

8:43 am

slow, weed? this is a great group! look around!!!

8:43 am

i know, but i'm used to the comments flying!

8:43 am

Sloterdijk, that is very close to where I live

8:44 am

bbiab

8:44 am

*hugs kje*

8:44 am

(wonders who caught the sm8 comment and knew what i meant, besides kje of course)

8:44 am

She is very nice, name is Shirley, husband is Jan. She is here for 10 days visiting my friend with whom she grew up in California. We hiked twice actually, in the last wk.

8:44 am

*ducks as comments are flying over my head*

8:44 am

I got it.

8:44 am

hee hee

8:44 am

lovely, Scrabs!

oh i caught it feather and snickered

8:45 am

She spoke Dutch for us and I understood some words as I know German.

8:45 am

i'd better head off to the shower. mom's got the boys for a few hours this morning, yay!

8:45 am

My friend has visited her in the past.

8:46 am

Yay, Feather!

8:46 am

enjoy the shower, featherbee

8:46 am

Hello everybody

morning Bob

8:47 am

hello MrBob

8:47 am

Scrabs, yes I can imagine that. Many words are similar.

8:47 am

Hi Bob

8:48 am

hi mr bob, phone, bbs

8:48 am

She loved hiking in the woods with us, Sprite.

8:49 am

so would I, Scrabs. She is a lucky lady!

8:49 am

"My name is Gladiator and I will have my vengeance." Ad on TV for Gladiator which is on tonight. I love that movie!

8:50 am

lol, Scrabs will be tied to the TV tonight

8:51 am

Russell Crowe is great in that role.

8:53 am

Hm I could use a violent movie too tonight. I'll check out what we have here.

8:54 am

'morning babblers (i watched "a river runs through it" again last night)

8:54 am

hey welki!

morning welki!

8:55 am

lol ... cu 5/18 ... who'd a thunk!

8:57 am

Hi welki. I like that movie too, and I am sure you enjoy the fly fishing.

8:57 am

ok, forget it, TV is hopeless as usual. Best we can do for tonight is NCIS and NCIS Los Angeles

8:57 am

lol welki

8:57 am

TY for clue, welki.

8:57 am

i identify with the floating down the river part ... but without the fish hooked to the fly rod *lol*

8:58 am

Fun!

8:58 am

yes - ty welkie lol

8:58 am

Hi dobie

8:58 am

I think I identify with the river

8:58 am

cape

8:58 am

sorry........

8:59 am

hi jmbdobie

8:59 am

(it is a beautifully done flick .. good story, even for those who don't fly fish)

8:59 am

What is Cape Cod? Cape May? Cape Ann? Cape Canaveral?

8:59 am

Sorry, I went into Jeopardy mo4.

8:59 am

Cape Diem

8:59 am

!!

9:00 am

Where is that, Sprite?

9:00 am

multi-tasking, scrabbs?

9:00 am

Or do you mean carpe diem?

9:00 am

Close to Memento Morris

9:01 am

yes, carpe diem and memento mori. Sorry, tried to be funny.

9:01 am

Yep, watching a Law & Order marathon, drinking tea, Babbling (chat + grid) and flipping over to Facebook to make my words in word games.

9:02 am

it was funny, sprite :)

9:02 am

;) thanks welki

9:02 am

I love Law & Order.

9:04 am

SVU + Criminal Intent are my favorites. I have not yet gotten drawn into the new Los Angeles show.

9:04 am

don't know any new one. But those you just named are really great.

9:05 am

i like ncis

9:05 am

me too, kje.

9:05 am

i like the characters

9:05 am

in6?

9:05 am

That is a show that has not pulled me in. I love Criminal Minds, and Bones is pretty good.

9:06 am

oh Bones is nice too, yes. Don't think I know Criminal Minds. Will check it out if they have it here.

9:06 am

don't have it yet, kje, will help looking

9:07 am

Criminal Minds is about FBI profilers that investigate crimes--focusing on forensic psychopathology.

9:08 am

oh that sounds very interesting, Scrabs. I hope they air it here as well.

9:08 am

It's a more intelligent show compared to much of the nonsense on TV.

9:09 am

I have to admit I like a bit of nonsense now and again. Like CSI.

9:09 am

i like those shows, too ... but sometimes need that nonsense

in 6/33 what's in a pen + ***s and pans

9:10 am

That's why I like The Office and Parks & Recreation---total silliness.

9:10 am

of course, a compound. Thanks LWG

9:10 am

TY, Luv

9:11 am

ty luv

yw everyone

9:12 am

9:32 am

9:51 am

Phew, I lost my internet connection and did the dishes, and I was afraid I would have to do more housecleaning.

9:51 am

scary, Scrabbs!

9:52 am

Yes, NB! I almost *GASP* had to turn on the vacuum cleaner.

9:52 am

hehehe ... rescued by the ip provider!

9:53 am

Good grief, Scrabbs, you should be more careful. It starts with a little vacuuming here and there; before you know it you have a full-blown addiction and you're scrubbing the skirting boards.

9:53 am

I turned off everything, incl the modem, turned it back on and fiddled with some settings...phew!

9:53 am

I get very carried away with housework. It's like meth to me.

LOL

hello all

9:54 am

Yes, NB, I might have actually used the mop on the kitchen floor!

9:54 am

'morning, nb and owl

9:54 am

and geek!

9:54 am

Hi Owl + SG

well, i spilled steel shot all over the kitchen last night....might need scrabs and the vacuum

hello. i did not get sprite's clue for pa 6

9:55 am

pa + Frito Ba****.

9:55 am

Steel shot?

for the tumbler that I bought yesterday. It is to harden my wire work

9:56 am

What's steel shot, Science? Sound like a badass brand of vodka.

ty

9:56 am

ohhh, gotcha

9:57 am

love that 'eye' piece, science .. a little unnerving :)

stainless steel rounds and other shapes....all over the floor. I swept, but I am still finding it all over the place

Yes, a lady in Chicago made it! I love it

sure do miss talking with all of you! my new job does not allow this site

9:59 am

couldn't look more like a raptor's eye if she'd plucked one out herself

I use eyes in my steampunk, but I prefer reptile eyes. They come from a taxidermy shop in South Dakota called Van Dykes

10:00 am

We miss seeing you too, SG.

10:00 am

gotta run for a bit ... later, folks

10:00 am

ta ta

10:01 am

Bye welki! Go catch some fish.

10:02 am

10:02 am

read backwards for a 4

10:03 am

TO a piece of wire wrap jewelry on my FB page. A little pendant with an eye in the middle.

with an actual eye?

10:04 am

a glass eye that would be used in a mannequin or a doll

oh. tis the season for gore, you know

10:05 am

it is quite nice......

10:07 am

ok refresh I just put it on my icon or eyecon

time for a break. happy babblng all

I like to try to do that too.. when I have time. Fun to set "goals" with each grid and try to stretch yourself.

11:21 am

it is about having time, isn't it? and of course not too big a grid/.. or too hard

11:22 am

true, some grids "flow" and others... like pulling teeth

11:25 am

11:27 am

You're welcome, Aloy - hello!

11:29 am

lol, am now on the list.. to discover I missed the piggy sound! (fish slaps self)

11:29 am

so i only miss ga6/27..... any1 got that?

11:29 am

not used more words once!!

11:30 am

yes, it has the "robot" ending, varumba

11:30 am

I found it in morewords. Does that make it 'unsafe' to clue?

11:30 am

nope

11:30 am

go ahead haz....

11:30 am

robot ending robot ending.. .mmmmmmm

11:30 am

ga plus what will earn you no entry into a restricted place.

11:31 am

oooooh robot ending!!

11:31 am

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I have a question... ?? I just opened lickety's.... my D's are all blacked out on grid, yet it shows that I'm missing one DE word, ( only have 2 of 3 ) ??

11:31 am

oh i like your cluie too haz!

11:31 am

de7 diane

11:31 am

yes, de7 is an extra one, i gnore it di

11:32 am

fireworks almost all on my own!!!! no more words... only 7-8 clue si think!

11:32 am

enable declined me Gonk, so unfair as I had several as a child.

11:32 am

hi fm

11:32 am

diane, sometimes lickety shows up an extra word (this is because Lickety uses a more up to date version of enable than Dr-G). Ignore it, that de7 is not needed to get fireworks.

okay... thanks var. :-)

11:32 am

hi FM ! tell me what a gonk is, please

11:32 am

yw

I do know a word that works, but it wouldn't accept it

11:32 am

any1 want a clue before i go?

11:33 am

Gonks may well be trademarked, but I tried it as well, FM.

thanks all !! Now I can go make brunch... be back later to hopefully finish

11:33 am

ooh, congrats, varumba! didn't realize you had finished.. yay, wtg!!

11:33 am

It is a stuffed childs toy, will try to find a pic. Hi Aloy and Haz and diane and var

11:33 am

i guess not.... byeeeeeeee then, hf every1

11:33 am

ty :) aloy

11:34 am

see you next time, varumba.. have a great day

hi, FMitch

11:36 am

FM is probably trying to find her Gonk.

11:36 am

I am but tinyurl is playing up

11:37 am

lol, think you are right, Haz.. she is off Gonk searching

11:37 am

that's ok, FM.. I'll google later, ty for trying

11:37 am

Look for a stuffed oval toy not the trolls with the sticky up hair.

11:38 am

ok.. will do.. and does the Gonk have a face?

11:38 am

Yes, trolls were never my cup of tea, gonks were somewhat hairy and squat.

11:38 am

there is just no end to what one can learn from Babblers!

11:38 am

The face was pretty rudimentary, mostly felt as I remember.

11:39 am

Yes its like a humptydumpty egg top half face bottom half body with sticky out arms and legs.

11:39 am

OK, have nbt and 1/3 done, unforunatly have pounds of tomaotes to can...bbl

11:39 am

aww, sounds cute

11:39 am

bye Jilly.. have fun canning!

11:39 am

So where are you now Aloy up north or still down south?

11:41 am

Oh there was a spectacular firework display in the village last night and I didn't have to leave home to see it.

11:41 am

Was it for a special occasion?

11:41 am

still up north, FM.. and glad to be here bc of all the glorious Fall colors, etc.. such a different world.. fresh apples, mums, clear blue skies, (some days).. a crispness in the air

11:41 am

clam bakes, football games, corn mazes, hayrides..

11:41 am

Early Nov 5th celebrations Haz.

11:42 am

Sounds lovely Aloy.

11:42 am

ooh.. nice FM, and now you have to educate me again.. what is Nov 5?

11:42 am

Extremely early! Not that we can talk, Ballymena now has three Christmas trees in position.

11:43 am

Guy Fawkes was caught trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament back in the 17th(?) centuary and we commemorate that day still.

11:43 am

Oh Haz that is so so early :(

11:43 am

Yes, early 17th century.

11:44 am

ahhh, ty.. have heard of Guy Fawkes day

11:44 am

Actually the shops have a boom time selling fireworks - wonder how many really remember where it all stems from.

11:44 am

It's madness. They're not decorated yet, just erected, but there's something odd about having Halloween decorations mixed with Christmas stuff.

11:45 am

We're not allowed to have fireworks here, special licence required, but somehow they get smuggled in from down south.

11:46 am

I guess I can understand that.

11:47 am

am listening to a program from GB now, "My Word".. enjoy it

11:48 am

They were being used for anti-social purposes so they brought in regulations. It has cut down on things a lot but there are still illegal fireworks to be had if you know who to ask.

11:49 am

That should probably be 'whom to ask' shouldn't it?

11:50 am

yes, objective case

11:50 am

Good day, ladies!

11:51 am

Scrabbler! hi there

11:51 am

Hello, Babblonians!

11:51 am

Hello Scrabs.

11:51 am

hi Judi

11:51 am

Hello, Judi and Scrabbler.

11:51 am

hi to Judi too!

11:51 am

While the vacuum cleaner takes a break I am having leftover spaghetti.

11:52 am

and Hello Judi

11:52 am

Pondering the U's. Just not seeing the light.

11:53 am

all up-----

11:53 am

just as you two came on, fireworks went off for me.. and Hubby came in with a surprise.. wait..

11:53 am

Well, at least I guessed the up part correctly.

11:53 am

Well done, Aloy!

11:54 am

Oh, Aloy, Ruru would say something hilarious if he read that.

11:54 am

Congrats Aloy!

11:54 am

Reading back in the chog... black market fireworks are the best.

11:54 am

over 10 years ago, he made some wine in an oak barrel, and it tasted awful.. way too oaky.. so we left it in the fruit cellar..

11:54 am

and it's yummy now /

11:54 am

well, now he is cleaning out the fruit cellar and opened a bottle of the old awful wine

11:54 am

You left hubby in the fruit cellar! Someone call the authorities.

11:54 am

and it has transformed into something like a smooth sherry

11:55 am

not bad at all.. what a surprise!

11:55 am

you ladies are funny..

11:55 am

how old is it /

11:55 am

lol Aloy and congrats

11:55 am

Which proves the proverb, 'good things come to those who wait'

11:56 am

Good things come to those who wait, Aloy. Enjoy the fruits of your cellar.

11:56 am

well over 10 years, Scrabbs..

11:56 am

*snap, Haz*

11:56 am

fascinating, aloy

11:56 am

I think Judi and I must be in receipt of the same batch of brain cells donated by Ata.

11:56 am

thinking back... maybe 15 or so years

11:56 am

Mr and Mrs Aloy will be hic-upping merrily later then :)

11:57 am

Goodness. Better look on the front stoop. Didn't realize someone left brain cells for me. Rather in the nick of time, I might add.

11:57 am

lol... well FM, he said "maybe we should be careful - it could give us headaches"... so we will sip cautiously

11:58 am

we were just going to save it for cooking.. so we didn't throw it out

11:58 am

Obviously, if it tastes good, it's probably bad for you.

11:58 am

true, Judi !

11:58 am

Back in a mo must go downstairs and turn the heating off, am feeling decidedly overcooked.

11:58 am

Yes, Ata donated brain cells while she was in having her arthroscopy. If you feel smug, you'll know why, Judi.

11:59 am

:() There are worse side affects that smugness.

11:59 am

Vacuum cleaner has sufficiently rested, I finished the leftovre spaghetti, and I must finish cleaning the downstairs. Then I will hike, return, and clean the upstairs.

12:00 pm

1 pm here.. must scoot and get something accomplished. Enjoyed chatting with you all.. be good, FM (-: Bye, Haz, Judi, Scrabbler.. see you next time, I hope.

12:00 pm

Bye, Aloy, good to see you.

12:00 pm

I'm procrastinating going to the market. HATE grocery shopping.

12:00 pm

Haha, Haz, and Ata is so packed with brain cells and they are so efficiently networked, that she will still excel with her remainder.

12:00 pm

Scrabbler, slow down. You'll make the rest of us look bad.

12:00 pm

See ya, Aloy!

12:01 pm

I have delayed cleaning as long as possible these last 2 wks or so, and I must get this done.

12:02 pm

Spare the vacuum and spoil the dust bunnies, Scrabbs.

12:02 pm

Bye, Ladies! Enjoy your day. Oh, Judy, I did that yesterday and it was easier with my iPod + earphones--I didn't have to listen to store music, screaming parents + kids, etc

12:03 pm

The bunnies drop their cocoa puffs when they jump out of their litter boxes so I must tidy up as they refuse to.

12:04 pm

*waving* BBL

12:04 pm

Bye to those that are going!

12:07 pm

That's going to include me, I'm afraid. See you tomorrow!

12:07 pm

Bye1

12:07 pm

Okey dokey Haz I will follow your lead :)

12:12 pm

Quel horror! We just took the air conditioner out of the bedroom window. THOUSANDS of stink bugs had roosted in the sills. Hubby just shop vackedl. UHG!!!

12:14 pm

gd evening everybody. That sounds like something out of a horror movie, judi

12:17 pm

morning folks... just saw three deer a daddy and two baby buck cross my lawn on their way to the golf course

12:17 pm

and who was their caddy?

12:18 pm

hmmm, I should tell my buddy Bob, He's a golfer and would be hunter going for his first deer....personally, the aminals should be left as (God) nature intended them...

12:18 pm

dont know about the caddy... but i am one of their gardeners.... they love my garden, ( darn therm) and they love my acorns

12:19 pm

did you get a photo, mom?

12:20 pm

no deer here; the French have eaten all of them

12:21 pm

see my icon ruby.. this is in my back yard

12:21 pm

I had not known my friend to express a hunting desire...perhaps it's his midlife crisis

12:21 pm

great photo, mom!

12:22 pm

are you allowed fencing , mom?

12:22 pm

there are foxes here that come through my garden during the night, but I've never seen them, just smell them in the morning

12:22 pm

Off to do the shopping. BBL. *POOF*

12:22 pm

thinking of calling an old friend who likes to hunt with bow and arrow... quiet dontch know? and he says he can dress out a big buck in an hour ...... havent had venison in years.... hemmmmmmmmm

12:23 pm

there are a lot of wild boar here as well as chamois, up in the mountains behind the house but there are no rabbits, either

12:23 pm

i can t affor fencing pav or i would already have it

12:23 pm

well, as long as you post the no trespassing sign, and the deer ignore it, you should be able to

12:24 pm

lol

12:25 pm

103 words and I've hit the wall!

12:25 pm

chamois? as in the cleaning cloth?

12:25 pm

yup, pav, but they're very shy and I've never seen one

12:26 pm

you've not seen a chamois cloth?

12:27 pm

they probably used to make the cloths from the hide (like suede) but not any more, I hope. They are elegant little creatures

12:29 pm

We aren’t even into the Fact yet and we already know that the Chamois lives in mountainous regions of Europe and has a leather hide that is great for cleaning vehicles. Let’s continue on and see what else we can learn, shall we? The chamois is a very nimble animal and is able to reach speeds of 50 km/h (30 mph) on rough, uneven ground. Heck, I had a tough time driving an ATV at these speeds through the mountains. ( I just googled chamois)

12:29 pm

I love it! We are in the foothills of the French alps

12:33 pm

109 words now

1:22 pm

1:23 pm

one could have their wedding bouquet built around the ipad and ......

1:23 pm

nah i don't test in meeting for worship either wht ;-)

1:23 pm

Don't agree with you there, Jmc. I sure wish I had babbled instead of saying I Do. Life would be a whole lot less complicated now!

1:23 pm

Heck, wear a long opaque veil and you could be doing anything under there!

1:23 pm

okay i double checked and . . .nbt

1:24 pm

actually you could just upload a photo of a lovely bouquet

1:24 pm

argh i triple checked and i do not have nbt

1:24 pm

E in the bottom corner

1:24 pm

1:35 pm

jes, i can't find it, only stuff for peoples. so nevermind. if it doesn't have a presence on the net, it just can't be any good *LMAO* ... so, is there sense in trying to prevent yeast infections of the ear besides keeping them clean and dry?

1:47 pm

molly please report to the penalty box.....

1:47 pm

i was chatting with a co-worker the other day who'd gone to a wedding .. lots of the women wore huge hats with lots of feathers/decorations ... reminded us of the i love lucy set in paris, the one in which lucy and ethel end up wearing ^^haute couture^^ feed bags!

1:47 pm

lol, Molly, I'm old enough to admit my age and young enough to pray i'll get older!

1:48 pm

ah. that should be just ducky for helping treat/prevent diarrhea, but I don't think it'll have any effect on ear infections.

1:48 pm

^5 dawg .. someones asks, 'how's life?' my answer, 'better than the alternative'

1:49 pm

maybe it's not the right product. i'll find out and let you know next time we're on together

1:49 pm

can't say that i think the "gelatin for joints" is going to do much though.

1:49 pm

I just assumed you had reached that "certain age", dawger -- after all -- you do see Maxine's humour!

1:49 pm

ga 5/20 ga + a character from Tolkien ga*d*l*, it is a yiddish word

1:50 pm

the product i heard about targeted yeast in ears .. how so, i don't know. my guess is that, if no chronic infections, so issue

1:50 pm

ga 5/10 means thief in Yiddish

1:50 pm

Oh crap, I did type out d 6/27, didn't I? Off to the penalty box. Hope there are goodies left.

1:50 pm

I'm also always a little leary of a site that doesn't list AMOUNT in their product information, instead of just re-listing the ingredients

1:50 pm

1:51 pm

ga, cons., 3/4 of not on

1:51 pm

(that was fuzzy, cyber, not me)

1:51 pm

keep in mind that none of the "nutritional supplements" are FDA regulated, because they aren't considered drugs, so buy from a brand you're familiar with and know is reliable, lest you get something that doesn't actually have in it what it claims.

1:51 pm

sorry Nan

1:52 pm

and with that, i'm off to unload the railroad ties from the truck :) Have fun!

1:52 pm

2:48 pm

3:01 pm

thanks all. firewooks for me

3:01 pm

I'm excited, Zooz! This will be my first full winter away from the coast. I want snow!

3:01 pm

Hiya, Pav! :)

3:01 pm

Welldone BG

3:02 pm

yay BigRed!

3:02 pm

they are saying there will be snow this year, so you could be in luck, NB..LOL

3:02 pm

Welldone, Big red, sorry

3:02 pm

no prob. thanks for all the help

3:03 pm

And I looove cold weather...and hot weather. All weather, weather in general. I appreciate it.

3:04 pm

yes, NB, it's always good to feel alive!

3:04 pm

I Love hot weather..not keen on cold, but can tolerate it if i have somewhere nice & warm afterwards :-)

3:05 pm

right, Pav ;) I suppose I just like dramatic weather. I like it to be very hot or very cold. if it's raining, I want it to rain hard...

3:05 pm

this is a very English discussion ;)

3:05 pm

LOl, true, we brits always talk about the weather..hahaha

3:06 pm

I'm not even British! How unfair :P

3:06 pm

while I like the cleansing of a good downpour, I'm more of a sprinkles guy meself....I don't likethe leopard effect on my car afterward though

3:06 pm

LOL, must be dust spots

3:07 pm

haha, Pav! Can't fault the logic, I guess. Don't have a car myself, so one less thing to worry about.

3:07 pm

you can be a Brit, if you like NB :-)

3:07 pm

in fact, dustless spots.

3:07 pm

I could be Zooz, but I rather think my appearance denies it ;)

3:08 pm

what? dust in Arizona! ...unfortunately, yes, there are veritable mountains of dirt here in AZ, and that's just the living room...!

3:08 pm

hahahaha,but you love the place, Pav..right?

3:09 pm

why can't you be British with a flair for oriental looks? capitalize on your strenghts

3:09 pm

why would it, NB

3:09 pm

snap, Pav

3:09 pm

Hmm, well I've tried it, when people ask me where I'm from. "Where are you from?" "London." "No, where are you REALLY from?"

3:10 pm

AZ is "warm" enough yes, do I miss th cold and snow? not much...just wish the dirt wouldn't be in so many places at once..

3:11 pm

oh i see what you mean, NB...you are not missing anything, so i would not worry about it, NB..lol

3:12 pm

i think you might tell i am not very patriotc..lol

3:13 pm

I understand , as well, NB, appearances are sometimes limiting...in HS I was thought to be French, in college Native American, in the SW I'm hispanic bordering on illegal esp when I don't wear a shirt and tie, and then I'm thought of as wait staff...go figure!

3:15 pm

Ironically, I'm pretty patriotic! I love England...could never leave, definitely not to go home. When I got back here from Korea, I felt like kissing the ground!

3:15 pm

ok, goy my hot vegeatable chunky soup, take care all.

3:15 pm

LOL Pav!! Well in the onlookers' defence, 'wait staff' is hardly an ethnicity :P

3:15 pm

take care, Zooz :)

3:15 pm

see you next weekend MAzda!

3:16 pm

Thanks, NB, Hope so, Pav :-)....*poof*

3:25 pm

3:27 pm

Me too, Pav! Nothing on TV, I was hoping to find some stimulation on Babble (????)

3:28 pm

my knitting has taken a backseat to babble for the time being. :)

3:28 pm

Bank Holiday weekend here - everybody is out and about...I'm home alone :-(

3:29 pm

Hey Mag. :-)

3:29 pm

Hey Soodle

3:30 pm

What are you knitting, Mag?

3:31 pm

(or not knitting, as per yours of 3.28.....)

3:34 pm

A baby blanket for a friend. It's her first and I found this beautiful green yarn.

3:36 pm

Lovely! When is the baby due?

3:36 pm

Christmas Eve!

3:37 pm

My daughter was due on Christmas Eve. She decided to make her entrance on Dec 29th. It was a strange Christmas for me!!

3:38 pm

Strange, but really good....

3:38 pm

I was due Christmas day, but arrived early New Year's Day. My marmie was out to eat with friends when she went into labor!

3:40 pm

I always seem to surprise her.

3:41 pm

LOL. My Sarah made 'an entrance' on Dec 29th, and now, aged 18, continues to be a drama queen! (She is gone to a halloween party now as Cleopatra.... late... to make 'an entrance'!!!

3:42 pm

Haha! I think once you're born that way it just continues to be a life style!

3:42 pm

As her Mom, I wish she had gone out in a green baby blanket..........

3:43 pm

Do you have kids, Mag?

3:44 pm

No, not yet. But I have 6 nephews who I feel like are my own.

3:45 pm

My son, age 20 has just gone out dressed as Fred Flintsone..... . Oooh Nephews are great! I have 5, and I love them to bits (specially when I can give them back)......

3:46 pm

I spent the day with my partner's 2and a half year old twin nephews....Billy & Luke. Two tough guys!!!!

3:47 pm

Oh yes, I love to spend time with them, but I'm glad I'm not there all the time! The oldest is 12, then 10 and 8 and the triplets are 4!

3:48 pm

Triplets!!!! Oh my!

3:49 pm

They are...a handful!

3:50 pm

I can't even begin to imagine! My boss has just had twins.She is 45 - and doesn't know if she is on her head or her heels! Its a true cads

3:50 pm

I can't even begin to imagine! My boss has just had twins.She is 45 - and doesn't know if she is on her head or her heels! Its a true cads

3:50 pm

I can't even begin to imagine! My boss has just had twins.She is 45 - and doesn't know if she is on her head or her heels! Its a true cads

3:51 pm

Its a true case of 'Be Careful What You Wish For....

3:53 pm

She doesn't have any other kids, so these little darlings were very much waited for, but she is on top of her head!

3:54 pm

I don't know what I would do...it's so much to handle, but my sister does it well.

3:55 pm

Does the triplets mean that multiple births run in your family, Mag (Not trying to freak you, or anything...)

3:56 pm

Oh no, they don't! I've very carefully considered this. Not to mention, my boyfriend is a twin. But he and his brother are the only ones in his family, also!

3:59 pm

Hmmmmmm. You never know! Que sera sera :-)

4:00 pm

Lovely chatting to you, Mag. I think I will head off to bed now. You take care.

You can get the same effect putting pumpkin pie spice in your coffee grounds before you brew it.

4:47 pm

molly is right. that would be a lot cheaper

4:48 pm

I do that with cinnamon and nutmeg too sometimes.

4:48 pm

Zoom, you folks across the pond celebrate Halloween earlier than us?

some states in the US have trick or treating on days NOT halloween..

5:03 pm

in iowa it's always 2 days before Halloween

5:03 pm

we celebrate it on the 31st october, Molly

5:04 pm

because the lawmakers feel it is dangerous for kids to treat on halloween night.. a lot of crazies

5:04 pm

In Indiana it's always the Saturday before...so kids can stay up late.

5:04 pm

See what I get for not listening to the news. I'm not up on any current events.

5:04 pm

personally i grew up trick or treating on halloween night.. i think it should be that way! dont mess with tradition :)

5:05 pm

I agree!

5:05 pm

Our local merchants host a halloween parade and trick/treating after at their businesses

5:05 pm

I am traditional like you Cos. Plus, I went to Catholic school and the next day is a holy day of obligation so we always had the day off. Now they make the kids go to school on holy days and trot them to mass during school hours.

5:05 pm

i live in colorado now and they trick or treat on halloween here ... yay!

5:05 pm

ah yes.. all saints day right?

5:05 pm

Although the children, here, trick or treat long before that, just to get as many sweets/candy or money/mony as possible.

5:05 pm

i was raised catholic myself

5:06 pm

I certainly make sure my black cat is locked safely in my bedroom...

5:06 pm

Yeah, I think. I'm a retired Catholic.

5:06 pm

lol so am i Mollt

5:06 pm

Molly

5:06 pm

actually i call it "recovering Catholic"

5:07 pm

Hey!! Active proud Catholic here....

5:07 pm

i mean no offense

5:07 pm

but the church thinks i'm going to hell for my orientation so...

5:08 pm

I've got no problem with the Catholics. I just gravitate more towards a Univeralist way of talking to God these days.

5:08 pm

i cant be part of a group that has damned me in their eyes you know? but i mean the church not the congreation.

5:08 pm

Okay, well I'm dealing with that in myown life...our youngest is gay

5:08 pm

but i do believe in many things Catholic.. i still say my hail marys, etc.

5:08 pm

So, there may come a time when I change to Episcopalian

5:09 pm

we joined an U.U church.. and our priest married us.

5:09 pm

I have seen recent changes to more hardline conservatism....

5:09 pm

It kind of amuses me that the Catholic Church has not reversed itself on homosexuality. So many of the religious are gay. I still say my Hail Marys too Cos. I believe in the Sacred Feminine.

5:09 pm

yes i feel it's gotten more conservative after the death of John Paul.

5:10 pm

Cos! That is so cool. Congratulations. I bet it was a wonderful ceremony.

5:10 pm

it was.. my mother in law flew in for the wedding... my parents didnt come because my dad had to have elective surgery

5:10 pm

but we've been married a year and 3 months.

5:10 pm

We seemed to be moving foward with the Church acknowledging sexual orientation is not a choice

5:11 pm

Let's hope so...

5:11 pm

And congratulations, cosdem. :)

5:11 pm

Jilly, that would be a wonderful thing, because I don't believe it is.

5:11 pm

but then they say one can't act on it...all I know is the Church lost a dynamite person in my son.

5:11 pm

Jilly, in Chicago the arch bishop a few years ago was Joseph Bernardin.. he set up a church for catholic gays.. he was amazing. then he died and the new cardinal just set the whole thing backwards

5:11 pm

We have talked about it - don't know if we will or remain as we are, cohabiting.

5:12 pm

Hi JC

5:12 pm

Hi, cosdem. :)

5:12 pm

it's sad though. we moved here to colorado from iowa. and now our marriage isn't legal.

5:12 pm

but we still have our marriage certification hanging on the wall! :)

5:12 pm

LOL..had a pollster phone call today, started with my sex, then age THEN the question about "should marriage be between a man and woman only?"...Don't think they got the answer they wanted!!

5:12 pm

Ah. Your youngest is gay, Jillyjill?

5:13 pm

lol jilly

5:13 pm

Marriage should be for all couples in love who wish to marry. That's the answer I would've given...

5:13 pm

Yes and has been in a relationship for 3 years, but both are still young so marriage not right now (they live in Massachusetts)

5:13 pm

The first thing the Catholic Church has to do is reverse itself on the "sex it only for procreation" thing. All issues with sex and the Catholics seem to flow from that. Even with heterosexual people.

5:14 pm

but we're making progress.. 5 years ago gays could not get married anywhere... and today we can get married in 5 states and the district of columbia

5:14 pm

Good for you, Jilly...i just cannot understand why people have such hang up on people being gay..SO WHAT.

5:14 pm

Well, it was a computer poll, "push 1 if yes...."

5:14 pm

Good answer J.C. I so very much agree.

5:14 pm

I couldn't agree more, Julian :)

5:14 pm

Yes. As I understand it's taken a while for it to be legalised over there - and is still illegal in some States.

5:14 pm

Well I'm gay, MollyL.

5:14 pm

Love=Love

5:15 pm

Well, I'm not J.C. and I still agree with you. : )

5:15 pm

:)

5:15 pm

the republicans in Iowa are so angry about the legalization that they have targeted the judges .. campaigning on "vote no on retention" in next week's election but even if they lose retention they can't do anything.. it's law of the state and it would take two constitutional conventions to overturn it

5:15 pm

Just read back - Cos, that is so sad! But congratulations :)

5:15 pm

Of course - anyone should see it that way.

5:15 pm

Well, not to age myself, but a good friend's parents were mixed race couple. Had to be married in California when they legalized it...it just takes time

5:16 pm

I'm the same age as you Jilly and I remember crap like that.

5:16 pm

I am concerned here in USA that we are getting knee jerk responses now

5:16 pm

It's astounding that marriage between a mixed-race couple would've been illegal, really. :/

5:17 pm

i got a little miffed at my mom a few weeks ago when she called ryan "my friend".. a few days later i called her again and said "ryans not my friend" she said "i know what do i call him im not sure" i said "husband" she laughed and said ok.. and later when we were hanging up she said "tell your HUSBAND hello and give my love" lol that made me feel good

5:17 pm

And it fries me that the black vote in California was what helped overturn gay marriages there...

5:17 pm

yes jilly.. but the courts overturned that vote.. it's now on appeal..

5:17 pm

Awww, cosdem. :) Were your parents at your wedding?

5:18 pm

Oh, I know...just bigotry should be seen in ALL its forms!

5:18 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

5:18 pm

well they were supposed to come but my dad had an infection on his wee-wee and had to have an emergency circumsition.. why they told me the details i do not know.. i got so digusted lol

5:18 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

5:18 pm

Hey Minv!! Welcome!! I haven

5:19 pm

haven't been on with you

5:19 pm

Ouch, cosdem! :/

5:19 pm

Hi there, Min. Hope all is well with you.

5:19 pm

Gosh, I'm in a gay mixed-race relationship. I can feel the conservatives shrinking away from me when I walk past them ;)

5:19 pm

but ryans mother flew in from colorado and paid for the catering and the alcohol!

5:19 pm

Yes. Don't undrestand why they would have to do that. Surely antibiotics would be sufficient?

5:19 pm

Hello gapeach1066. Can't really complain.How are you

5:19 pm

LOL OMG Cos....

5:20 pm

Ah well, Jesse. You don't want people like that around you anyway. ;)

5:20 pm

How nice of her, cosdem!

5:20 pm

I live in a county FULL of them!!

5:20 pm

yeah.. and then she paid for our move here.. and paid our rent 2 years in advance

5:20 pm

shes a great MIL

5:21 pm

That's nice to hear. :)

5:21 pm

although she does throw it in our faces every now and then

5:21 pm

Is that last up 8/60 word extra word in Lickety's list?

5:21 pm

I've just added my Google link to my bio - my better half's profile is linked from that.

5:22 pm

its the de7/44 min

5:22 pm

He is a Babble member, but has only been here a few times so far. Busy.

5:22 pm

Thanks cosdem. Don't want a clue yet for the up 8/60

5:22 pm

Cos, there are some things we do not need to know about our parents, and that is definitely one of them.

5:22 pm

She throws what in your faces?

5:22 pm

lol thank you Molly

5:22 pm

she throws the fact she paid for everything

5:23 pm

Oh, paying for the move, etc. Sorry. Just caught up.

5:23 pm

when she is PMSing

5:23 pm

I know...my mother told me things about my dad after he died....finally had to tell her to STOP!!

5:23 pm

lol

5:23 pm

And Cos...you need to tell her she needs to be proud for her investment!!

5:24 pm

yeah shes all about money though...

5:24 pm

J.C. you are cute. So is your partner. I love it that I can say that to gay men and they don't think I'm hitting on them. : ) Nice pictures of both of you.

5:25 pm

they are, Molly - a lovely-looking couple :)

5:25 pm

brb ill post a pic of me and ryan

5:26 pm

Awww, thank you - that just happens to be a good photo on there, though. Not so much the casual snap on here. :P Ian is gorgous though, yes. ;)

5:26 pm

Ok, time to go, need to read a book before bed, take care, All :-)

5:30 pm

Okay, loving the conversation and grid, but my tomatoe sauce has thickened enough...off to can it up...bbl!!

5:30 pm

I don't get it. I see Cos's new icon here, but when I click on his profile, I still get the old picture. And yes, I have refreshed. Twice.

5:30 pm

5:31 pm

5:31 pm

Goodbye zozzoom! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

5:34 pm

I refreshed this page and now I see your new icon in the chatterbox, cosdem.

5:34 pm

Ah yes, so do I :) I feel like I look rather lonely in my own icon now!

5:34 pm

I'm getting both icons! Never seen that before!

5:35 pm

Both at once?

5:35 pm

late afternoon all- 5 left and thunderboomers finally so if *I disappear you'll know why

5:36 pm

You do but it's a nice photo, Jesse.

5:36 pm

thanks, Julian :) I'm keeping it because if I back away and squint I think there's something a bit Jim Morrison about it. Not that I'm big-headed or anything.

5:37 pm

yep - gone now. Guess it just had to catch up or sumpin....

5:39 pm

50 left.. woo hoo

5:39 pm

Hi rururocks!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:41 pm

Ah, there is that good looking couple. Nice picture Cos. You two look very happy together.

5:42 pm

that was taken 3 years ago lol

5:42 pm

thanks :)

5:42 pm

NB, your photo is a bit Morrison. But very artistic. I like it.

5:43 pm

we've been together 6 years this month.

5:43 pm

That's awesome Cos, congratulations.

5:44 pm

sometimes it feels like 300 years :P

5:45 pm

last two columns all greyed out

5:46 pm

oooh, thank you, Molly! Flattery will get you everywhere ;)

5:47 pm

I don't think you look lonely either NB. More contemplative. It's a good photograph.

5:47 pm

if a woman flatters me she aint getting anywhere with me anyway :)

5:48 pm

well, ta! I must admit it was completely contrived. I wasn't really thinking about anything. Apart from, "I hope I look good in this photo..."

5:48 pm

I'm vain.

5:50 pm

Is there a babbler here named Ian Mackley.I just got a Yahoo notice that he wants to connect w/me. I do not want accept it unless I know he is a babbler here.

5:50 pm

for a small grid, I seem to having trouble reaching the halfway point. My brain must be on vacation! Greetings, Babblers!

5:50 pm

Ah, he is connected with JC and I, Minver - JC's partner. He babbles sometimes, yes.

5:51 pm

Hello CiociaJudy! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

5:52 pm

What is his babbler name? I don't think I've seen him.

5:52 pm

Howdy, Min! Was in very southern NY yesterday--right over the PA border to visit relatives.

5:53 pm

He is Imac here, I think

5:53 pm

Hello all...any clues for up9?

5:53 pm

very nice guy!

5:54 pm

Ah sorry, was busy. Yes Minver, he's my better half. :)

5:54 pm

Hey, NB--How are you doing?

5:54 pm

I think his Babble name is I-Mac, with a hyphen?

5:54 pm

Magy, do you have the up 6/27?

5:54 pm

Hi, Judy :) I'm well, thanks! And yourself?

5:54 pm

Magyk, up + r6

5:54 pm

yep!

5:54 pm

Ohh yes, that's right, Julian. You'd know better than I :P

5:55 pm

Then add in* to it. Voila.

5:55 pm

fine, NB. Just working long hours so not much time to chat although I finish the grid daily.

5:55 pm

thank you Molly!

5:55 pm

No problem Magy.

5:55 pm

Well as far as I remember, Jesse. He hasn't Babbled in some time now and only has a few times - when I was busy elsewhere. :P

5:58 pm

When I first saw his picture I thought, "Oh my gosh, who is this gorgeous guy wanting to connect w/me?"

5:59 pm

He is VERY good looking! Anyway, I connected w/him.

5:59 pm

Awww. Thank you, Minveryork - yes, he certainly turned my head when I first saw him. And continues to. ;)

5:59 pm

Finally got halfway. I never list before reaching that point. whew

6:00 pm

J.C., wanna trade partners?? LOL!

6:00 pm

Why, Min! You little devil you!!!!!!

6:01 pm

LOL J.C.!

6:03 pm

Phantom words for me are curtain, package & riptide\

6:03 pm

Cos..pa 6/24 pa + Frito Ba****o.

6:04 pm

Good clue, Molly. Couldnt' think how to clue the end of the word!

6:04 pm

Not my clue. Someone used it earlier today. : P

6:05 pm

And I fear Cos might be too young for it.

6:05 pm

hmmm i have no idea lol

6:05 pm

I don't understand it either. At all.

6:06 pm

Okay boys, way back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and Molly and Judy were girls, there was a Frito ad campaign featuring the Frito Ba***o.

6:08 pm

The Frito before it is unfamiliar...

6:08 pm

ROFLMAO Molly

6:08 pm

Ah. In America, of course. :P

6:08 pm

Frito Lay is a company that makes snacks here J.C.

6:08 pm

Not all of us are in your country though. ;)

6:08 pm

Corn chips JC, you have corn chips across the pond, yes?

6:39 pm

Oh dear God. Denver lost to Oakland 59 to 14. My in-laws must be in mourning. They are Denver fans. I am too actually. They are not having a good go of it this year.

6:39 pm

Wasn't aware we were racing, Jess?

6:39 pm

You are right, Molly, they are doing horrible this year.

6:39 pm

I am a fan, too, but hate to admit it now.

6:40 pm

I miss John Elway in a big, huge, mutant way.

6:40 pm

Well, as the 6 pints of tomato sauce that took 2 hours prep are in the canner...lord, not sure that was worth the work!!

6:40 pm

It's because you do it so fast, Julian :) you're my yardstick - measure my progress against yours :P

6:41 pm

Hooray for you Jilly. You will be glad later on a cold night when you have delicious red sauce to put on your pasta.

6:41 pm

you are a better woman than me jilly, i used to make my own till determined DH couldn't tell the difference ( the man obviously has no tastebuds) so i went to jarred

6:41 pm

you'll love it later jilly

gee, what time is it in the uk?

6:42 pm

I have a friend who has a couple of acres in Pennsylvania. She puts up about 80 quarts of sauce a summer. Not to mention the salsa and vegetables she cans.

6:44 pm

i can still remember the smell of the zillion quarts of chili sauce my mm and grandma put up every year

6:44 pm

Oh, probably...but peeiling, de-seeding, pureeing...am too tired to work tomorrow!! LOL

6:45 pm

Jilly, do you have one of those extractors? That's what my friend uses. It does all the peeling, seeding and pureeing for you.

6:45 pm

Ru I am glad that my birth mum allowed me to leave her and be adopted

8:02 pm

hmm

8:02 pm

Ms Gloria is adorable. Is she your dog?

8:03 pm

I think that is pretty self-less to do that.. that was good of her

Ms Gloria is not my dog but a lovely lady adopted her. She is the one I spent hours on grooming.

Ru that is what I think

8:04 pm

I think if you have no choice you have to do what is best for the child

and look how it turned out.. you are a great person

Ru I believe it is a totally selfish act. AWWW.

8:05 pm

I am so in favor of adoption. It's such a self-less thing to do; it takes a huge amount of courage to do it too.

8:06 pm

tr7 pls?

We have an on going joke in our family about how the hospital gave a 30 day return if the baby was sick or what ever so I always say '' well you had 30 days to return me not my fault you didn't take it''

8:06 pm

lol herin

8:06 pm

Herin, my birth mother gave me away when I was 6 weeks old. I found her when I was 20, boy was I ever glad that she gave me away.

8:07 pm

tr + vowell + in**** a baby

GA that is a selfless act on your BM part and it had to have taken courage to realise that a baby was not right for her then.

GA. I have 5 birth sisters

8:07 pm

omg

8:08 pm

how could she do that.. keep having kids I mean

8:09 pm

wow

Ru because she was in a better place. The kids are great. The two teens when I meet them were in trouble from their mum and they said ''Mum is a pyscho'' I told them ner ner I am adopted

8:10 pm

She already had a son....her parents brought him up. She was a habitual liar...the rest of the family were fine people. I found my birth father when I was 40...I had 10 half siblings and grew up alone. But that was years and years ago. I'm still kicking.

8:11 pm

I left my parents at 16 and never spoke to them again

8:12 pm

Thanks ru, I'll keep thinking. My brain isn't working well tonight!

8:12 pm

I have been on my own since I graduated high school.

8:12 pm

when you are about to have a baby sometimes you need to be in****d

8:13 pm

But I have a very close & loving relationship with my parents. In fact, my mother was just here for a visit.

8:13 pm

haha! Thanks Ru!

8:13 pm

that's nice when it works out for some people minver

8:13 pm

That's the way it is supposed to be

8:14 pm

Ruru, do you know where they are?

8:14 pm

yw mag

8:14 pm

sure.. I know where my mom is .. my father passed away last year

8:14 pm

HERIN!! Ms Gloria is beautiful. Thanks for sharing her picture.

8:15 pm

she doesn't want to talk to me either..it is good for both of us

Molly She is a darling. I spent about 5 hours getting the mats out of her. She was a kill shelter rescue and I love her to bits knowing that her new mummy and daddy love her

Ru my b.f left home at 16 he still talks to his parents but isn't close. My ex cut his mother out of his life in his 20s

8:16 pm

Ruru...this hug ---> (((( )))) is for you. And one for the birthday girl as well. ---> ((( ))).

8:16 pm

Well, Ruru, I don't pretend to know what makes people the way they are. I had two daughters and I brought them up to the best of my ability. It seems that you are doing fine without her. Good for you!

8:17 pm

I am fine.. I am happy... they were bad news for me.. very toxic and horrible people

8:17 pm

well, some parents just make it impossible for you to love them. totally toxic.

I have one photo of my birth father. I am still uming and aring about trying to find his family. He died in his 30s from alcohol and gambling. (Explains why I don't)

8:18 pm

It seems to me sometimes that stereotypical happy family is a rarity.

8:18 pm

I don't gamble or drink hard alcohol either herin

I think you can love the people that gave you life on some level but not have respect for them because they don't respect you.

9:23 pm

bit of a britishism, Marisun - a cu*** tea.

9:23 pm

which brings me to this question ---

9:24 pm

are there any heterosexual males in babble?

9:25 pm

2

9:25 pm

Yep...Scrabbler

9:25 pm

LOL. Ruru and Crossy spring to mind. Well, they don't spring to mind. They walk in a very heterosexual manner.

9:25 pm

ruru, pav, crossy at least -- hi all!

9:25 pm

ah good :)

9:26 pm

Quite a few of us actually ..

9:26 pm

I think Pav is hetero...

9:26 pm

actually, the only gay male babblers I'm aware of are myself, you, JC and George.

9:26 pm

i can never tell what sex someone is in here if they dont have their name in their username except for nancyboy lol :)

9:26 pm

and torg, of course -- and dan2bit...

9:26 pm

and let's not forget Lickety!!

9:26 pm

although he doesn't really play

9:26 pm

Yes. I think my name makes everything rather evident, doesn't it? :P

9:27 pm

9:29 pm

Yum tea. I had a wonderful mug on cinnamon tea this afternoon.

9:29 pm

NB, where wqs your icon picture taken?

9:29 pm

I'm just grand, thank you Minski :) and yourself?

9:30 pm

You know Jill, I was thinking about that earlier, and I honestly can't remember! It's one or two years old, I think. Just makes me laugh because the photo is SO contrived :P

9:30 pm

Great! I am planning the halloween party for my daughter's preschool. Making decorations, getting donations, going crazy, etc. but it's all fun! I love Halloween

9:31 pm

Gay male Babblers? Thought my ears were burning.

9:31 pm

oops. I keep forgetting how old my baby is getting. She's 5 and in kindergarten so it's not her preschool it's her elementary school.

9:31 pm

Oh well, NB, you look pensive and beautiful as usual. I mean the beautiful part, not necessarily the pensive part, lol!

9:32 pm

Hi JC!

9:32 pm

LOL Julian!

9:32 pm

Aw, thanks Jill, what a nice thing to say!

9:32 pm

Hi, Jill! And yes, Jesse is beautiful...

9:32 pm

You are a beautiful person NB and don't you ever forget it!!!!!

9:32 pm

No, JC, we were looking for hetero male babblers :P

9:32 pm

Ah. Yes, they would be more difficult to find. :P

9:33 pm

even after seeing me in person, Julian? :P

9:33 pm

Even more so, yes.

9:33 pm

Minski! Thank you :) I won't forget it if everyone keeps complimenting me like this - how lovely :P

10:02 pm

Jilly, I've been debating between finishing and sleep, and sleep is winning the debate

10:03 pm

I'm not as set on finishing every grid these days... just want to try to get to 90%, and then decide if it's worth it to go on... RA6 got me to 90% :)

10:04 pm

Everyone knows that de7 is a Lickety extra right??

10:05 pm

haven't looked at lickety, but I've tried de7 many times

10:05 pm

no, i didn't. thank you jilly, i ws looking for it right now actually.

10:06 pm

Sorry, should have butted in earlier with new group...I frustratingly had worked about 20 minutes on it

10:07 pm

I assume it was the gerund form of de4/6 which means example

10:07 pm

yes, entered and entered....lol

10:07 pm

you know, the definition of insanity...doing the same thing each time and expecting a different outcome...

11:00 pm

So -- anyone need clues?

11:00 pm

11:01 pm

11:01 pm

11:01 pm

11:01 pm

Thanks! *poof*

11:02 pm

ta6/24 -- knock lightly on your companion animal

11:03 pm

hah. weird words do abound

11:05 pm

I believe it has something to do with engines

11:05 pm

i've got the up8s, but can't seem to find the up6. how's that for backwards?

11:06 pm

I had the same problem, jes -- up6 = up + a speedy babbler

up + projectile in a pub game

11:06 pm

If you've met that person...

11:07 pm

thanks :) got the 9 from it too

11:07 pm

better clue, diane, and hi!

hi Jilli :-) how are things on THE island ?

11:07 pm

and lickety says i'm done but the grid says i have an M left...

11:08 pm

windy here, daine!

I was looking at your icon themes.... can anyone participate ?

11:08 pm

hmpf, jes!

11:08 pm

is there an m5 that lickety doesn't list?

we had a skiff of snow this morning.... more forecast for tomorrow

11:08 pm

Absolutely, diane, and if you have some suggestions, just send them to sprite.

I don't think so, jes.

11:09 pm

no, jes.

11:09 pm

huh. ok... i have 2 mo5s, what sort of m5 am i missing?

I like the one for Friday... could be fun

11:10 pm

nevermind. i found it.

11:10 pm

no idea why it was lost here, since i remember entering it, and it copied to licktety.

11:11 pm

but that's firewords. thanks for all the clues!

11:11 pm

Friday icon clues are great fun -- just wish more would participate!

way to go, jes

11:11 pm

YAY jes!!!

You are probably like me, Jilli... you don't see the grid until it is 7 or 8 hours old... then you'd be scrambling for an icon to go with a word. I have hundreds of images on my computer but probably none a babble word !!

we'll see what happens on Friday :-)

11:13 pm

I use google a lot, diane

yes...lots of images there

11:14 pm

and I'm nearly always there at the flip

that is where many of mine came from

yes... the flip for you comes at 10 p.m. your time. I have stayed up a few times, and played a few words before going to bed... but then I DREAM about the grid !!

11:15 pm

oh, so do I!

11:16 pm

But I'm a night-owl and stay up far too late -- try to quite at minight (pumpkinphobia)

11:16 pm

*quit

as with anything new that I've done repeatedly on the computer. Used to happen when I played Text Twist for hours.

11:17 pm

I never played Text Twist -- is it a speed game like most of them?

11:17 pm

hi all

11:18 pm

hi m9 :)

it is timed, yes... an anagram game.

hi m9

11:18 pm

I don't do timed games -- well, this is timed too, I guess, but 24 hours...

11:19 pm

de7, anyone? I want it to be the gerund of de4, but it tells me that's not a word...

11:19 pm

de7 doesn't exist -- it's a mistake

11:19 pm

Lickety shows 160 words but there are only 159

11:20 pm

ah---how odd!

11:20 pm

it happens every sooften -- Lickety uses a slightly different dictionary

11:20 pm

dhelp with ga 5/6 please?

11:21 pm

I see--thanks for letting me know!

11:22 pm

...trying to think of clues for those ga words...

11:23 pm

g + make ** **fer for that item up for bargaining.

11:23 pm

thanks jilli!

11:23 pm
