BAH!!! I keep trying, but it won't accept research

12:49 am

Hello, sister

12:49 am

Hello, sister

12:49 am

I did feel clever, I usually don't find the big baddies this early in the game!

12:49 am

r is in the wrong place, christine

12:49 am

whoa -- I see there are 2 ho 9s and an ho 10!

12:51 am

I have all the Hs and I only see one 8 and 9 though, jilli.

12:51 am

Jill, think the H 9and 10 are the extra words cos I have all the H's without them

12:51 am

jinx diz!

12:51 am

I know, it's just not fair.

12:51 am

I know, it's just not fair.

12:51 am

thanks jilli, got one of the 9s

12:51 am

YW Mel, but what for??? LOL

12:51 am

oh, whew, diz! Thanks!

12:52 am

I know, it's just not fair.

12:52 am

yes, it won't take ho5ca4, though it likely would take oxca4

12:52 am

guessing those would be horsecart/s..must not take them

12:52 am

We said the same thing and the same time!

12:52 am

i need one for nbt but i have 103 words found

12:52 am

lose the last letter dart :D

12:52 am

that's right, dart :)

12:52 am

LOL see what ya mean, Mel

12:52 am

dar i just tried horsecart no luck

12:52 am

my stats changed when I entered the ho 8-9

12:53 am

have those already

12:53 am

I have 120, but still lots of BTs.

12:53 am

but that chat found me the ho8 and 9 ;)

guys, let's not put the ca4 before the ho5. it might be some other ho9/10

12:53 am

think there should be an ho 9-x2

12:53 am

what do you mean josh?

12:53 am

*enable doesn't like that one!

just making a joke, mlf

12:53 am

agreed, it's weird they took the former and not the latter

12:54 am

185, ruru, and I'm off *poof*

12:54 am

yes josh -- the one you just described is not accepted by enable

12:54 am

252 and stuck

is lickety up today?

12:54 am

yeah HO 9/10 i just treid should work tink but it doesnt

12:54 am

yes josh

12:54 am

yes, josh, with 2 extra words

12:55 am

ah ruru -- read the label on my ortega bottle: it is a german varietal resulting from crossing muller-thurgau with siegrebbe vines.

12:55 am

oh..

12:58 am

se6,7,8,8,8 combo

12:59 am

mmm -- missed one of those 8's feralous

12:59 am

oddly, it won't let you plural on of the 8s, which seems to me ought be plurable

dc - you'd have to reuse that r for that

1:00 am

agreed dc

1:00 am

i almost missed it too cybernan

to 8 and to 9 if not said

1:00 am

no you would not

anyone have the last 9?

1:01 am

not yet, dee

to get to a plural you would

ty nan

1:01 am

still looking for that last se 8 in the combo

1:01 am

no add'l r neded for the plural

i know, but you'd have to use the same r twice to get to the last s

1:02 am

unless we are looking at two different combos...shhhh?

maybe we're talking about different words, i dunno

1:02 am

no you do not.

1:02 am

oh, yes, that is possible nan

1:02 am

ho9, re9x2, to9

the last se8 is definitely pluralable, but not in this grid

ty fer!

1:03 am

last se8 i have is plural

1:03 am

so, must be more than one such combo. hm

ok, then we're talking about different words

I don't think I have ever seen the ho 9 before lol

1:03 am

alt spelling of first se8

1:04 am

ty seain -- that last comment gave it to me :)

i see which se8 you're talking about now, sorry for the confusion

1:04 am

all good :)

1:04 am

fireworks

i think that se8 is an intensifier of the se6, and not a noun

gj dart

1:05 am

congrats, dart

so there are 3 se 8's? Is that correct

wtg dart!!

1:05 am

train carriage that was pulled by the animal, dee -- there is one in the british rail museum in York.

as far as i know, dee, but i am missing some 8's still

1:06 am

i thought it one who of the se7, but good point josh

ty

1:06 am

4 se 8's

aaaahhh now I get the alt sp comment

1:06 am

but the other one is also possible to pl. without repeating the r

ty dart

1:07 am

only have one re 9 -- time to look for the other

ah, got the 4th se8, ty dart

1:08 am

3 are related..the other you might vacation at

ty ty great clue

1:08 am

she sells sea shells

lol

1:09 am

that alt spelling ought be pluralable, IMHO

I agree dc

if you're talking about the noun, you can't plural it in this grid without reusing an r - try typing, it will not say "word not found" but "does not exist in this puzzle"

1:10 am

well, 108 to go and i'm crashing.

1:11 am

so, g'day night/day and happy babbling, yall!

1:11 am

finally found all the r's

1:11 am

{poof}

night dc

wtg ru

1:12 am

goodnight dc

1:13 am

good night dc

1:13 am

wd ruru

are the extra words on lickety's list the ho 9/66 and the ho 10/84?

1:17 am

190 down -- enough -- see you tomorrow :)

1:18 am

don't know -- haven't listed yet dee, but my stats changed when I added them so I don't think so

there are 2 ho 9's on lickety's list... wouldn't take them, so I do think they are the extras

said "not in dictionary" when I typed

1:18 am

oh -- misread your query -- yes, I think they are

1:19 am

yes dee, I have all the h words and there are actually 13

1:19 am

I have one ho 8-9 combo accepted

ty flosey and nan

1:19 am

I have one ho 9 but the other ho 9 with a t on the end doesn't take in either list, nor does the pl

1:20 am

good night everyone :)

gn nan

1:20 am

if the ho 9 & 10 were the ones mentioned before they would have shown up in Lickety even though not in the Word List.

1:21 am

def seems the one where the animals run fast and pl are the extras

1:21 am

the ho9 and 10 not accepted are horserace and pl

1:21 am

night nan and hi dee hi

1:21 am

and hello all

hug jili

1:21 am

anyone have the as?

1:22 am

hi ursh -- you're in the grid :)

1:23 am

thanks josh

yw

1:23 am

ty josh

everyone say a few prayers... we put our house on the market on Friday... hoping to move to a house with the master bedroom on the main floor...

1:24 am

oh, best of luck, dee!

ty jili... scary... we built this house 30 years ago :~)

1:25 am

will do Dee, good luck

ty

1:25 am

it will be hard to leave it! Can you not add a bedroom wing on the main floor?

would put us too close to the river and would be an overdevelopment for our house... if it doesn't sell, we will probably reconsider options, but not our first choice

1:27 am

well, you know best, dee :)

ours is one of the larger ones, and we are afraid to put more money into this one...

1:28 am

found the to9

we are kinda thinking... it's now or never...

wtg ru

1:28 am

sounds like smart thinking, dee

that is what hubby is thinking at this point, but of course subject to change lol

1:29 am

got that to8/9 too -- lots of similar words here

1:29 am

would it be downsizing a bit too, dee?

1:30 am

ca

1:31 am

how did that get there?

not yet... just a different distribution of square feet... hoping to have room for family visits still

so not quite ready to downsize

1:32 am

would you be building or buying, dee?

1:32 am

anyone have the last cr 6/24 please

buying

1:33 am

not me, ruru -- I haven't ANY cr words yet. lol!

cr+ double vowel + 2 letters that mean be quiet...

1:33 am

have you seen something you like, dee?

1:34 am

done

there are 3 I like and one I could move into tomorrow and be thrilled

wtg ru!

1:34 am

thank you dee

1:34 am

had to list for the last 10

yw

1:34 am

YAY ruru!!!

1:34 am

Oh, that's great, dee!

1:35 am

*bows*

but we really don't want to make any offers until we are sure ours will sell for what we want

1:35 am

Amazing, ru!

1:35 am

That sounds wise, dee.

1:35 am

wow ru, very well done

1:36 am

it is hard to sell and buy at the same time

sure hope so, jili..

1:36 am

still an hour behind dart flosey..lol

1:37 am

oh, did dart finish? I missed that.

1:37 am

well, still very good

1:37 am

I missed it too

1:38 am

jilli, did you notice my icon?

1:38 am

okay.. off to watch replays of the baseball game..what a day !

1:38 am

I'll change it soon, for Anniebrook's bd

1:38 am

bye for now

1:38 am

yes, flosey, and commented that it's a good disguise, (because I don't know who it is) .

bye

1:39 am

bye ruru!

1:39 am

oh, sorry, missed it

1:39 am

well, you've only met him twice - at bridge

1:39 am

and you made a very nice write-up about the duo

1:39 am

which I mailed to him

1:40 am

I have??? *thinking (in vain)

fireworks

1:40 am

son, Gordon

1:40 am

wtg Dee

is there some reason I don't see grem any more?

ty

1:40 am

I'm getting a vague idea -- pls put me out of my ignorant misery!

1:41 am

an old girlfriend of his, back in HS days made that for him

1:41 am

l:40 jilli

1:41 am

dee, I've wondeered about grem too. We heard from chuggaboom the other day -- not doing well. He's only 18!

ooooh, so sorry to hear

1:42 am

hope chugga keeps in touch, needs the positive contacts

1:42 am

Oh, sorry, flosey, missed that -- of course -- your handsome son!

definitely agree

1:43 am

and flosey, what do you think of my smoked samon recipe? (It's not mine, but sounded tasty)

1:43 am

*salmon

1:44 am

jilli, hubby and 3 kids love smoked salmon, I can barely stand the smell, hate to admit that

1:44 am

I'll copy it though, for the girls

1:44 am

oh, that's too bad, flosey!

1:45 am

I don't see a recipe

1:45 am

only for the cake

well, I need to get going; have a great eve / day! *poofing with hugs*

gn all!!

1:46 am

goodnight Dee, sweet dreams

1:47 am

Oops! I forgot to copy and paste -- do you see the recipe now?

1:48 am

yes, thanks jilli, have copied it into my bio for now

1:48 am

g'night dee, and good luck with the house!

1:49 am

have it now, the girls will love it - Geo too

1:50 am

Gord too, Dave is like his mother!

1:51 am

oh, heredity is funny

1:51 am

sure is

unfortunate in a way, his wife grew up eating fish of all kinds - in Philippines

1:53 am

are you both total fishophobes?

1:53 am

no, I love halibut, salmon, can eat salmon pate

1:53 am

love shrimp, etc

1:54 am

I'm glad I like almost everything

1:54 am

living here, for sure

1:55 am

really very few things I can't eat - just that one

1:56 am

wel, I suppose it's fairly pungent. What about the other kind of smoked salmon -- not the lox type?

1:56 am

ah, finally got the first ca6 and 7, so silly! so obvious!

1:56 am

no, no raw salmon

1:57 am

I have prepared it for others, smell is just a bit offensive, but to get it in my mouth is another word

1:57 am

The kind I'm thinking of isn't raw, but coooked over smoke.

1:57 am

no, none of that

1:58 am

very odd! What about other smoked fish, like kippers?

1:58 am

it also looks very attractive on a buffet table

1:58 am

oh no, not those either

1:59 am

so it's really the smoked flavour you don't like.

1:59 am

perhaps, but lox doesn't have smoke, think it's the texture there

2:00 am

Hmf -- CTV just went off the air

2:00 am

well, does that mean it's time for bed?

2:03 am

it's back now

2:03 am

it's back now

2:03 am

and it's the witching hour

2:04 am

it's back now -- but it IS time for bed, lol!

2:04 am

that was a long hiccup

2:04 am

sometimes, lately, it seems to be

2:05 am

hellooooo

2:05 am

hello varumba

2:05 am

hi varumba

2:06 am

been trying to say helo for 5 min, lol.. for some reason my msg would not leaving the typing box

2:06 am

hello*

2:06 am

beautiful icon varumba

2:06 am

ty

2:07 am

because you hit the hiccup time, varumba, when nothing works for a few minutes. Same time every day/night

2:07 am

oh ok

2:07 am

i thought it might be my network

2:08 am

how is this grid?

2:08 am

No, just a babble quirk -- some kind of adjustment, we guess

2:08 am

not really bad varumba

2:08 am

have been here for 2 hours and have 208 words

2:09 am

ok

2:09 am

This grid is BIG. Ruru and dart have finished quite fast, but then they're superhuman.

2:09 am

I only have 141 words. I'm subhuman.

2:09 am

lmao, ok... it's morning time for me, so i can onmly play for 10 min or so..... huurying up to finish breakfast now so i can start ;)

2:09 am

slower if you enjoy the chat, but that's half the fun

2:09 am

Varumba, someone named that The Twitching Hour

2:09 am

no, jilli, you just enjoy the chat

2:10 am

Great name, Christine, and hi!

2:10 am

hi crhis... .do you mean that time of the day where babble doesn't work?

2:10 am

Ji, Dear -- not my name for it, I refer to it as a hiccup.

2:11 am

Yes, it generally hits about midnite (left coast time) and stops your post.

2:11 am

the witching hour for me because it's midnight our time and isn't that when we turn into pumpkins?

2:12 am

*Jillibus - don't lnow whay happened to the rest of your name -- you jknow I never abreviate, but the gremlins got in

2:14 am

not getting the ea7, anyone have a clue?

2:14 am

sry, just starting!

2:15 am

ty

2:15 am

no, flosey, don't have it either

2:16 am

I'll come back to it

2:16 am

Christine, I don't mind abbreviations ;)

2:17 am

the ea 7 ends with a gun ****

2:18 am

oh tx joey!

2:18 am

thanks joey, got it

2:18 am

you're very welcome

2:18 am

thanks from me too, joey, and hi!

2:18 am

hi jillibus

2:19 am

helloo indeed

2:19 am

I find it almosdt impossible to abreviate names -- I like my name and often don't realise people are addressing me when they say Chris.

2:20 am

<<<<<makes a mental note to call you christine

2:21 am

I've been Jilly with my hubby's family for years and love it, so like being called jilli here.

2:21 am

But jillibus was my dad's pet name for me when I was little, so that's nice too.

2:22 am

I figure, the name a person chose for this game is the one s/he wanrs to use ...

2:23 am

My daughter is Vanessa, which I think is a beautiful name, but her Father's wife insists on calling her Nessie, and taught her children to do so -- makes me want to do bodily harm

2:24 am

Vanessa's a lovely name.

2:24 am

oh, I don't blame you Christine, what a beautiful name

2:24 am

i like var myself..... but whatever ppl choose... personally, i shorten names coz i'm lazy :D

2:24 am

My M-I-L called me Flo and I disliked it coming from her

2:24 am

me too, var ;)

2:24 am

hi all

2:25 am

missed flip

2:25 am

hi m9

2:25 am

hi m9!

2:25 am

Oh, I hope you don't mind flo from otheres, flosey!

2:25 am

hello m9

2:25 am

My Mother used to say, if I wanted you called Judy or Mal or Chris, that woul be your name. My youngest sister, Marianne, plays here using the name Mal .

2:25 am

absolutely not, jilli - it just irked me because I really wasn't at all fond of the woman

2:25 am

typo time -- bedtime banana-milk time too, methinks

2:26 am

And I bet you really love Miss Yetta for shortening Banethi's name

2:26 am

an di need to shut this down if i want to go to work on time - which i need to do ;)

2:26 am

Well, I think I've told people the problems I had with Gillian (my real name)

2:26 am

this is gonna mess my grid... as i'll have forgotten tonight which words i got!

2:26 am

*sigh* work ALWAYS gets in the way....

2:27 am

but they stay here, varumba

2:27 am

Sorry guys. Banethi is my pet name for Christine's daughter. Neither of them like it and I just use it to rile my sister.

2:27 am

The grid will remember, varumba

2:27 am

ok guys, hag night/ day..... syl!!! lol jill

2:27 am

byeeeeeeeeee

2:27 am

Morning...

2:27 am

bye

2:27 am

good morning J.C.!

2:27 am

good morning JC

2:27 am

Christine - ok I apologise

2:28 am

I feel like you're my ship that passes in the night!

2:28 am

Hmmm. Good night, m9. ;)

2:28 am

Morning - or evening in your case, flosey. :)

2:28 am

Greetings, JC!

2:29 am

Greetings, Jilli! :)

2:29 am

yes quite.. it's the middle of the night

2:30 am

Bye all. Off to clear kitchen after dinner.

2:30 am

2:30 am

2:30 am

bye jilli

2:30 am

g'night jilli, see you tomorrow night

2:31 am

(love your pumpkin, m9!)

2:31 am

wish it were mine! found it on google.

2:32 am

Ah. Good night then, Jill...

2:32 am

whole right column being coy.. keep thinking i have words for it... but they come off diff letters.

2:32 am

Hey, Judith - remember I told you the Spanish neighbours (from Castille) called her Banethi - -love names are okay, but NOT!!! Nessie.

2:32 am

goodnight again and *repoof*

2:33 am

That bloomin' sister of mine, floats in and out

2:33 am

Sleep well, Jillibus.

2:33 am

I have a friend called Vanessa who some have tried to call 'Nessie'. Hasn't gone over well. :P

2:34 am

I had one friend that called me mar. and my brother has called me that on ra4 occasions. but I don't really have a nickname.

2:34 am

m9f91 -- That''s Peter Pumokineater

2:35 am

Miy MIL is STILL called by her childhood nickname! By all of her family at least.

2:35 am

oh you know this pumpkin?LOL

2:36 am

I married a man named Jack, but his name is really Henry, and his sister Jenelle was always called Jill

2:36 am

It's eating another pumpkin, m9. :P

2:36 am

So it must be...

2:36 am

although the typo makes it sound like it's eating indian jerky.LOL

2:36 am

*Pumpkineater

2:36 am

My middle name is Peter. And I could eat pumpkins.

2:36 am

pumpkins are nummy.

2:37 am

we like them in soups.

2:37 am

pumpkin pie is yummier

2:37 am

mmm...pie......

2:37 am

and pumpkin whole wheat pancakes.

2:38 am

oh, that would be good m9

2:39 am

Back again Christine - I always thought therir names were Jack and Jill.

morning all...

2:40 am

hello Fish

2:40 am

hello fish

2:40 am

Morning, Fish.

2:41 am

Fooooool, that's because he couldn't/wouldn't say her name.

2:41 am

12:4 is no time to be arguing about Wham! lyrics...LOL I have such a strange household.

2:42 am

Judith, did you remember to say White Rabbits ??

2:42 am

Hmmm. To which song, m9?

2:42 am

Kitchen still awaiting clearing. Wish I was that woman in Bewitched.

2:42 am

No Christine - forgot all about it.

2:43 am

Ah. The re8,40 and re9,54 were easy to see...

2:43 am

careless whisper.

2:43 am

How did I know? Thought of that one immediately.

2:43 am

Hot pumpkin soup M9 with a lump of blue cheese tossed in just before serving. Fantastic.

2:44 am

I am psychic though.

2:44 am

oh now I'll have to look for them.. and feel stupid when I can't find them!LOL

2:44 am

blue cheese?!?!?

2:45 am

Yes - I didn't have any sour cream one night and put the blue cheese in. Necessity being the mother of invention eh?

2:45 am

ack! there's so many re's!~!!!!!

2:45 am

there are 2 x re8 and 9 JC

2:45 am

Ah. Glad I don't know how many. :P

2:45 am

Are they similar?

2:46 am

I only have 1, no idea what the other is

2:46 am

I just got an 8!

2:46 am

and a nine!

2:46 am

Well I was asking m9. ;)

2:46 am

I suppose someone who works in a bowling alley

2:47 am

that's the one I have

2:47 am

oh.. I don't know how many either.. I just meant on the grid!

2:47 am

Hmmm. Someone's trying to make me think this early in the day. :P

2:47 am

FIVE different places an re could start!

2:48 am

isn't it easier than this late in the night, JC

2:48 am

Is either one easy? :P

2:48 am

lol

2:49 am

Ah. It's the person who puts the pins back in place, isn't it? I guess...?

2:49 am

yeah.. but J.C. is probably all energized with good fruits and vegetables.. and we're trying to do the grid on days of halloween candy!LOL

2:49 am

lol, someone has to finish up the remains!!

2:49 am

Energised? :P Hmmm. Caffeinated...

2:49 am

I keep thinking of all these words that end "eat"... but there's no a near any of those t's!

2:50 am

another thing I don't do. Really.. sugar is about the only vise left to me!LOL

2:50 am

Our alarm goes off too early. We need separate bedrooms - as I keep saying. Never happens. ;)

2:51 am

I tried that too JC, didn't go

2:52 am

although, in truth, we both get a much better sleep when alone

2:52 am

Well I wouldn't try it really. I just whinge about being woken up so early in the week. :P Office workers!

2:53 am

if one is restless, it is disturbing

2:53 am

my parents were on different floors even!LOL

2:53 am

Due to snoring, by any chance?

2:53 am

Naturally I don't snore. Ian does. :P

2:53 am

well, that's what would happen here, only 1 bedroom on this floor

2:53 am

Just as naturally, he would say the opposite. :P

2:53 am

my dad was a HUGE snorer!

2:53 am

lo, I do - so I'm told

2:54 am

If you were to ask him...

2:54 am

or use to!

2:54 am

lol JC, only when we're angry!! which is seldom

2:55 am

Hmmm. Even on Halloween, you can't frighten anyone a second time, I see...

2:55 am

Hmmm, flosey?

2:55 am

I remember one thunderstorm, so we didn't tent camp that night.. but got a cabin (I think we were in Yellowstone).. and it wasn't the thunderstorm that kept us up.

2:55 am

Oh we're bitchy to and about each other often - it's usually only in jest, however. ;)

2:56 am

That's why we get away with it...

2:56 am

you trying to frighten someone?

2:56 am

Hmmm? Now why would I want to do that?

2:56 am

today is a big holiday here, nice to have such a loarge grid!

2:56 am

I tried to enter a word, meaning to frighten again. Didn't work, however.

2:56 am

my brother tried pinching my dad's nose.... we gently put a pillow on his face... LOL

2:57 am

ah! I get it!

2:57 am

Thought you might. ;)

2:57 am

hope it was gentle!

2:57 am

I think we even tried pushing him onto his side..

2:58 am

but even the three of us probably couldn't do that.

2:58 am

heavy sleeper

2:59 am

yeah.. and heavy man! 350 lbs

2:59 am

was probably about 65 at that time.

2:59 am

hmmm, indeed!

2:59 am

years

3:00 am

hubby's nephew (lived on next property) was 495 lb when the dr. put him into hospital until he lost a couplehundred lbs

3:00 am

wow!! he could be pals with Richard Simmons!

3:00 am

Oh my gosh...

3:01 am

he should have been!

3:01 am

he died young

3:01 am

had had a couple heart attacks

3:01 am

Not surprised. Sad. :(

495 lbs?!?! bugger me, my entire family weighs less!

3:01 am

so did my brother. Well.. about 50

3:01 am

congestive heart failure

3:01 am

Yes. Hardly surprising...

3:01 am

you're still here fish? so quiet.

3:02 am

Ah. Fish does answer people sometimes?!

3:02 am

Bobby was probably around that age

ooohh...get you

3:02 am

Or respond, rather...

3:02 am

they said my brother's car had a lot of McDonald's bags in it.......

busy with grid JC....am actually doing pretty well so far without grid

3:03 am

busy..yet without...LOL

3:03 am

Get me? Well. Tried to tell you something amusing the other day and you seemed to want to disregard it - it's quite amusing, too. Don't want to say what it was about in here, but would have sent it to you, as it would have given you as much of a headshake, eyeroll and laugh...

3:04 am

Without grid? I think you mean without list - without grid would be, well, impossible?

I put my gmail in my profile

3:04 am

Ah. You were talking around it, so I thought you saw.

3:04 am

Got it. ;) I'll forward...

3:04 am

phant research

ah...yes. List. Not grid. Need my second coffee methinks

3:06 am

I'm off to bed, 40 to go and hope they come faster than they have in last half hour!

3:06 am

Goodnight all

3:06 am

better than my 182 to go!

nighty night

3:06 am

NIght!

3:06 am

RUBY!!!!!

3:10 am

I think I'm losing my marbles -- maybe I've already lost them!

3:10 am

bad ruby!

Can you post the 9 letter words before you find your marbles?

3:11 am

ya lucky 'marbles' isn't in the grid...hehehe

3:11 am

fish.. I'm at 179 to go now.. this is like pulling teeth.

but 'arse' is!

3:12 am

I only have one 9. it's an re... and could be kids that work in a bowling alley.

3:12 am

Fish, its a word...PB for you...LOL

3:12 am

It is sent, Fish...

3:12 am

haven't found a psychic one....

3:13 am

That's one of the first words I saw in the grid - surprisingly. :P

3:13 am

The one Fish just said, that is...

3:13 am

Fancy that?

3:14 am

Ilove this grid!

3:14 am

no. I don't.LOL

JC - just read it...holy crapola!

3:14 am

Tell me about it?!

3:15 am

57 left and only 2 nines and 10 eights

3:15 am

I was laughing like you can't imagine...

3:15 am

Talk about uptight and humourless...

3:15 am

I only have one of ea4

3:15 am

And, well. The rest doesn't need saying. :P

3:16 am

you sent him an email about my mother?!?!?

3:16 am

ea44, gain a living, ea4/4 one hears with, ea4/4 not busy

3:16 am

Yes, m9. Of course. :P

3:16 am

I wasn't looking for clues.. I was just not saying the word!LOL

3:16 am

As if I know much of anything about her? :P

3:17 am

hahah, m9, sorry

3:17 am

oh but you had her to a T..LOL

3:19 am

Ah. Well this person may be a relative?

3:19 am

You should hope not, though.

3:19 am

:-)

3:19 am

JC, how did the show go?

3:20 am

speaking of relatives.. I hear you "met" hewho.

3:20 am

Very well, thanks...

3:20 am

Ah. Yes. Very peculiar...

3:20 am

great, glad to hear it

3:21 am

I'll say!LOL

3:21 am

and now am off to bed (was checking emails)

3:21 am

night flosey

3:21 am

Morning everybody. Happy All Saints Day.

3:21 am

he says "and just which of your friends is Julian?"

3:22 am

that was actually quite social for him!LOL

3:22 am

and he'd be mad about me saying that much about him.. So I'll stop now.

Good morning, babblers. Long time no see.

3:23 am

woah.. humongous icon fuq!

3:23 am

and good morning

3:23 am

Hello, Soodlebum and fuquayvarina

oops, sorry, let me fix that.

3:24 am

{{soodle}} is it as big a holiday there as here? Everybody takes chrysanthemums to the graves

aahhh...clocks went back at the weekend in the UK, right?

3:24 am

Hmmm. In that case presume a repeat what I just said, m9. :P Morning, Soodlebum.

3:24 am

That icon took over all the laptop screen, and half the hallway.

3:25 am

Yes, Fish.

3:25 am

Hiya Rubes. Nope - its a normal working day :-(.

3:25 am

Where are you then?

3:25 am

here, the children have been off school since last week

In Israel at the mo visiting the kids....and trying to complete a house sale on the phone

3:25 am

oh.. clocks!

3:26 am

Ah, I see!

3:26 am

Yup - my lot were all off last week, but its business as usual again. I enjoyed the extra hour in bed though!

3:27 am

and no trick-or-treaters

3:28 am

Flippit - I better change my icon.... I am quite fond of being a witch :-)

OK, icon should be better now. Sorry.

3:31 am

yup. much better.

3:31 am

Ah yes - very pretty, fuquay. :)

3:31 am

I'm seeing a flower?

3:31 am

just came to a grinding halt after a quick 121 words

3:32 am

oh yeah.. Monday is flowers.. or pets...?

yes, it's a lily, photographed this summer in the blue ridge mountains. I have no idea what the theme is, just like the photo.

3:32 am

It is a lovely shot...

3:32 am

Today is pets?

3:33 am

I can do that...

3:33 am

Dogs, iphone...

3:38 am

apparently smoked salmon is the theme. I think you better stick with your dogs!LOL

3:38 am

or just keep the pic you have.... I LOVE it!!

3:38 am

Oh good god. :(

3:38 am

Definitely not doing that, no.

3:39 am

Think I will. It's quite typical of me. :P

3:39 am

are you actually singing??

well at least I got the color right, sort of

3:39 am

No! Just goofing around...

3:40 am

yay, half, now I can get dressed!

3:40 am

see you later *poof*

time for a little breakfast, bbl if I can

what sort of dictionary doesn't allow 'scrote'?! C'mon now....

3:44 am

HAHAHA!

3:44 am

how 'bout scrotette?

3:45 am

You just about made coffee come out of my nose then. Never mind. Wouldn't doubt I've caused that to happen to someone before now. :P

the f. diminuitive of scrote.....

3:45 am

(Shakes head).

3:47 am

hey! I'm ready to try anything with this grid! grrrr...

I'll be getting complaints again

3:47 am

Well I'm surprised I haven't had any, Fish...

3:48 am

How many words now, m9? I only have 156 - 120 left.

sanp - 120 to go

snap even

3:49 am

Feel as if I've hit that big wall now. I am hesitant to list, being sure that once I do I will see obvious words I'll want to slap myself for not finding yet!

3:50 am

it's going very slowly!! still 165 to go!

3:51 am

There is a 10 letter word in the grid. I just found it. Licketys list took it, but its not showing up in my word list.....strange....

it's not scrotettes is it?

3:52 am

:P

3:52 am

I snorted that time.

3:52 am

LMAO. No, fish. Its not scrotettes.

3:54 am

they couldn't have put one of those s's next to one of those t's????

3:54 am

Soodle the 2nd ho 9 and 10 in Lickety's are 2 extra words.

3:55 am

Yep - I just noticed that Diz. Very strange.

yes.. thanks! can't believe I didn't have that er4!

4:10 am

ER 5/14 that is

4:10 am

did ya get the RE's from the 2nd col lower R?

4:11 am

4:11 am

4:11 am

4:12 am

pl, Lynxx

4:12 am

yay.. nbt! thank you

4:12 am

and nbs..

4:12 am

but I still can't list...

4:14 am

m9, when you list, Lickety has Ho 9/10 that aint here ...ie; 2 extra words

4:17 am

k

4:18 am

Somebody had better let him know what they are so that he can adjust the programme. If extra words are thrown up, he has to manually readjust things otherwise the list isn't produced on subsequent days.

4:19 am

how does one do that, Haz???

4:20 am

I think just by e-mailing and letting him know what the two words are that appear on his list but aren't accepted by Dr-G's word list.

4:20 am

morning Haz

4:21 am

Good evening lynxxx, good morning/evening all.

4:25 am

This seems to be a very obliging grid so far.

4:25 am

a bit too obliging, goes very fast

4:26 am

BBL time to do dinner

4:26 am

Bye, lynxxx, see you later.

4:35 am

hi all

4:35 am

Hello, jmc.

4:37 am

grrrrr 31 left and just realised all R's and T's...grrr

4:38 am

not a surprise that they are with this grid

4:39 am

How many words today please

4:39 am

276

4:39 am

Thanks

4:39 am

wondering why there is a helicopter making passes over my house

4:39 am

You're welcome, gran.

4:40 am

Press photographers? What have you been up to, jmc?

4:40 am

I am innocent I tell you!

4:40 am

They all say that.

4:41 am

*hides beneath table*

4:41 am

They'll have that heat seeking equipment.

4:42 am

*runs and grabs ice from freezer*

4:42 am

evening all

4:42 am

hi button

4:42 am

Hello, Buttonman.

4:42 am

jmc...are you a secreted axe murderer???? LOL

4:43 am

shhhh don't tell anyone

4:43 am

She'll plead the Fifth.

4:43 am

shyte, just gave a clue.

4:43 am

they are finally gone and ty

4:44 am

gawd they didn't get ya...or they gave up...LOL

4:44 am

i think the ice turned the trick

4:44 am

hi Haz,jmc...got a question. I have a ho 9 & 10 that lickety's Babble clues will take but the grid will not take. never had that happen before. What is up?

4:45 am

every once in a while lickety gives an extra word or in this case two

4:45 am

Buttonman, it has happened before. The problem is that LIckety uses a slightly different version of the Enable dictionary, so occasionally it throws up words that it recognises, but that Dr-G's version doesn't. Just disregard those words, they get you no points.

4:47 am

what a bummer....the two words I got, 150 points but no credit

4:48 am

thanks for the information.

4:48 am

I know, but nobody else gets them either so we're all in the same boat!

Good morning everyone. Yay! Half-way so will allow myself to chat!

4:50 am

hi sally

4:50 am

Good morning, Sally.

Lovely grid so far.

4:51 am

rats it is suppose to freeze tonight and i will have to bring in all of my plants

4:51 am

It's great, definitely one that flows.

4:52 am

Are there lots to bring in, jmc?

4:52 am

several of them are really heavy

4:52 am

i put them all in my downstairs shower for the winter

Good morning, just on my way to work, but 36 words in this grid, is much more user friendly than yesterdays!!!

4:53 am

at least they are easy to water that way!

4:53 am

hi red

jmc you are up early...

4:53 am

Hello, red, it's a nice grid, you'll be tempted to stay to find more.

4:54 am

couldn't sleep

I am always tempted to not go to work. It's a pesky thing this dependence on Money earned.

4:54 am

It's hard to sleep when you're being hounded by helicopters.

4:54 am

afraid i was awake before they came

Morningto haz and JMC.

4:55 am

Oh dear. Lots of babblers seem to have sleep problems.

4:56 am

not generally for me -- went to bed early so i would be able to got work the election protection hotline tomorrow

4:57 am

Election protection rhymes nicely.

4:57 am

yes and i have a nice time doing it each time

I can not wait to vote tomorrow, my only issue is with our race for the senate JMC. its very confusing...I like Kendrick Meek, but he won't carry the vote, and I do not like Rubio, who is an Ass, or that insane Scott (who is running for Govoner)

4:58 am

vote for the people who will do a good job

4:58 am

Protecting the voters rather than the politicians? I can't see you as a trench-coated, shade wearing heavy talking up your sleeve.

4:59 am

the polls are likely to be especially inaacurate this time as they only use landlines

I think my concern is that Charlie Crist, is someone who might do a good job, but not so sure..

4:59 am

yes -- trying to make sure every vote counts

5:00 am

so tell people where there polls are and what to take with them

5:00 am

trying to spot places where there is intimidation going on

So far in Orange county interesting fact here...More Democrats have voted than Republicans, which is a positive thing in our state, but..

Intimidation? WOw, this might be an interesting voting day.

5:02 am

i have yet to see an election where nothing happens red -- it just doesn't generally make the news

I think that is true jmc. A lot goes on that we are unaware of...I remember even al the problems with voting machines in certain areas etc..

5:02 am

6 years ago I was in Philly and one of the polls was in a guys home and he asked who you were voting for before he would let you in

5:03 am

we had to send the police to that one

WOw!

Ahhh, Haz you were so right! I do want to stay and find more, btu I have to make lunch and go to work.

5:04 am

and there is reason to believe there will be some *ahem* people who will be steering voters to the wrong poll and thus disenfranching them this time

Enjoy your day ladies and protect our voting rights JMC!!!! You are Awesome!

5:04 am

bye red

5:04 am

have a good day

5:04 am

That's self-discipline, red. Enjoy your day.

5:04 am

*blush*

5:06 am

okay clear i am not going to make nbt before i get going today :-(

5:06 am

lots of words already though

5:06 am

bbl

5:07 am

I'm going to break as well. Bye, jmc.

Bye Haz, jmc and everyone else going.

5:31 am

6:06 am

add e, er, ers erer, erers

6:06 am

I'm with ya Zoom. I bow to people who can finish a 276 word grid in an hour.

6:06 am

but i cannot see me getting as far as you in the same amount of time..lol

6:07 am

I have 100 words and must be off to work.

6:07 am

You're on pace, zooz. I just got 200 words in an hour--I think a personal best!

6:07 am

6:07 am

6:08 am

Take care, Molly

6:08 am

Thanks, Jayk, the grid seems to be going nicely at the moment.

6:09 am

200 in an hour though is fantastic!

6:09 am

Isn't it?! I am approaching unwarranted smugness

6:10 am

morning all, help with e in right corner pls

6:10 am

LOL, you have ea4ed the right to be smug :-)

6:10 am

go down and left

6:11 am

to go into a place you have to en*** the door

6:11 am

sheesh, ty, feeling stupid

6:12 am

6:12 am

all*

6:12 am

6:39 am

Hello again.

6:40 am

Morning Haz and the glittery one.

6:40 am

Good morning, FM. How are you?

6:41 am

Hello, Haz, FM

6:41 am

Hello, zooz.

6:42 am

Fine, a bit cottonwooly today, took ages to get to sleep and then slept too long. Morning zooz!

6:43 am

How are you, Haz?

6:43 am

I'm fine. I'm taking a break to see if I can get more words from this. It's a fun grid.

6:44 am

mm not long started and the t words are still flowing but will have to do a walk into the village in a while.

6:45 am

How are you zooz?

6:45 am

I am recovering from a cold...lol..as you know colds on a man = flu

6:45 am

LOL poor you ;)

6:46 am

Colds can be nasty as well. We'll sympathise.

6:46 am

for 5 or 10 mins max

6:46 am

Thank-you...Achooooo

6:47 am

I said we'd sympathise, I didn't say we wanted to share.

6:47 am

oh great, spread your germs why don't you!

6:47 am

lol

6:47 am

See how long our sympathy lasts?

6:48 am

LOL, sorry..i did sneeze into a tissue :-)

6:48 am

Kleenex Balsam, I hope? No other tissue is as kind.

6:49 am

Yes, thats the ones i use :-)

6:49 am

(Worldwide representative for Kleenex Balsam along with Ata)

6:49 am

Don't tell me you are on commission for them too?

6:49 am

My people are in negotiation with their people.

6:49 am

Yuo know, Haz, likes to have fingers in all the pies!

6:50 am

you*

6:50 am

Yes, indeed. I see it as a favour to mankind.

6:50 am

lol

6:50 am

brb

6:51 am

Some people spend their lives doing reviews on youtube for things, I just give glowing reports here instead.

6:52 am

the best place, Haz, all the influential people Babble.

6:52 am

so many venture capitalists play babble, you would not believe it.

6:53 am

I hate it when i forget to use a capital letter at the start of my sentence. Damn

6:53 am

We'll forgive you, zooz, the cold is obviously affecting your fingers.

6:54 am

And my poor only brain cell..lol

6:55 am

Oh lordy I have just noticed how many c and r words there are.

6:56 am

Yes, but there are very few peculiar words so far, the problem is remembering to put the right endings on.

6:56 am

Yes, i am trying to churn up the `C` wrods in the grid, at this moment.

6:56 am

words*

6:56 am

Thank heavens there is no d in the grid otherwise it would be twice the size.

6:57 am

I am doing my usual working backwards and just about to start the s's. Once I have got as many of those as I can I will do my errands.

6:58 am

I bought a book the other day called` My Grammar and I (or should that be `Me`?) by Caroline Taggart. Not working on me so far..lol

6:59 am

Love the title.

6:59 am

I've seen it in bookshops, zooz. Is it too dry?

7:00 am

To be honest, Haz, you would not need it.

7:00 am

So, not one for the Christmas wish list?

7:02 am

I like it, but i need it..lol

7:03 am

You're not the worst, I'm sure, zooz.

7:04 am

hear hear!

7:04 am

Thanks, But i could do a lot better i`m sure.

7:06 am

Likewise :)

7:06 am

I have 276 on Babble and 278 on Lickety - who's right?

7:06 am

Babble is always right, gran. Well done!

7:07 am

Babble is always right gran, Licket sometimes gets an extra word or two.

7:07 am

Thanks Haz

7:07 am

WTG Gran!

7:07 am

Lickety uses a different version of the dictionary and sometimes gets an extra word or two.

7:08 am

I also bought `Spilling the Beans on the Cat`s Pyjamas` Popular Expressions-What They Mean and Where we Got Them.

7:09 am

It's interesting to see where old expressions come from, isn't it? So which cat owned the pyjamas?

7:10 am

OK ground to a halt on the s's so will go and do stuff. Enjoyed the chat and catch up later I hope.

7:10 am

That one started in America in the 1920s mean, Top-notch.

7:10 am

Bye, FM.

Bee's Knees. Also 1920s.

7:11 am

Take care, FM :-)

Fuckin'awesom, dude I think came much later.

7:12 am

Can you watch the language, Kaplan. Not really ideal for a public chat log.

OOps- sorry.

7:12 am

Thanks.

"I just read it in a public book.

7:14 am

I'm not going to start debating or trying to be clever. I just don't want to read that sort of language here, thanks.

Sorry again- I wasn't debating. Just wasn't aware of that particular "group norm."

7:16 am

quietly slipping in .. good morning

7:16 am

Good morning, Mom.

7:16 am

good afternoon, Haz

7:16 am

Hello ((MoM))

7:17 am

((Zoozzoom)) good afternoon

7:18 am

hello. half this morning, but many trips to the pb (bad ruby!)

7:18 am

((Ruby)) hello. **wishes I was here earlier**

7:18 am

Hello, Ruby!

7:18 am

Hello, ruby.

7:20 am

I couldn't get the two places sorted out, was still sleepy and perticularly dopey

7:21 am

Ok taking a longer break, take care, All, and thanks, Haz :-)

7:21 am

((Zoozzoom)) take care

7:21 am

Bye, zooz, hope you feel better soon.

7:21 am

bye, zzoozz!

7:23 am

Good morning/day to all!

7:24 am

hello scrabbler! how are you?

7:24 am

Good morning, Scrabbler

7:24 am

Hello, Scrabbler.

7:24 am

Just arrived at the Indian Reservation Health Ctr and waiting for first kiddo to arrive.

7:26 am

are the Indians distrustful of innoculations for the children?

7:27 am

Nope, I know of only 1 mother that has refused them. The Amish refuse vaccines though, and many Amish folks live around here.

7:28 am

that is interesting to me. I worked with several Jehovah's Witnesses and they were pretty strange on that subject. But, unfortunately, I agree with them about transfusions

7:29 am

Yes, JW do not want blood products given, although docs get a court order to save a kid's life, when necessary.

7:31 am

hey friends, halloween ended up being much more trick than treat around here. yuckj

7:31 am

Hello, Trif.

7:32 am

Hi Trif! Yes, I had kids run across my front yard and knock on the front windows to "scare" me.

7:32 am

good morning folks, Hi Trif - what happened?

7:32 am

we didn't even have one trick-or-treater

7:32 am

Scrabbler, you might find this interesting - secondo was walking along with a group of friends, and some one was taking pot shots at them from the woods, as she got hit in the forehead. Gushing blood and an ER trip later, all is fine, but it was a scary ass night

7:32 am

that is horrible trif!

7:32 am

they think it was a pellet or bb gun, not a .22 or something, thank god in heaven

7:33 am

oh no! how terrible!

7:33 am

With BBs? DANGEROUS! There could have been eye damage!

7:33 am

Police are involved, I presume.

7:33 am

she is pretty rattled, but on the whole, we were way lucky. foreheads are nice hard bones. if it was her eye, or the corner of her lip, or her neck - not so much

7:33 am

Buon giorno, amica JBV!

7:34 am

hello JBV

7:34 am

That's awful, Trif. I hope she make a full recovery and the people who did it realise how foolish they've been.

7:34 am

Buon giorno, Bonjour!

7:34 am

police have not been involved as yet, as we have no actual forensic evidence (metal shards in wound site were insignficant enough to not be of use). I may go back today and see if I can find some bbs or pellets on the ground. that would change things up

7:34 am

are the police looking for the culprits?

7:35 am

we'll always remember this halloween, anyway.

7:36 am

Halloween is a reason for everyday ghouls to cause more trouble.

7:36 am

Good morning Darling. How is my baby?

7:36 am

Hi Car

7:36 am

hey sweetie girl! She is resting. I sure didn't. I basically watched her sleep all night.

7:37 am

Were sutures needed?

7:37 am

hello car

7:37 am

btw, mom is on her way home, then to the gym, then to pick up her rx

7:37 am

someone else is also very wound up....

7:38 am

no, they left it open scrabbler. The skin over the puncture is completely gone, and they wanted to avoid a nice big sc4, so they are leaving it. It's more a puncture/graze sort of thing, really

7:39 am

is she able to hold on to the basic arc of the tale, car?

7:40 am

Yes. It is her schedule today that is changing every 2 seconds. I told her to sit down and relax for a bit and then plan out her day.

7:40 am

yours is a lovely profile Trif, AMEN sister!

7:42 am

And good morning all my babble friends! I am sorry I am a bit distracted!

7:42 am

Aha, first patient has finally arrived. I will be in & out of here all day.

7:42 am

See you later, Scrabbler. I must go as well. Enjoy the grid, it's delightful. Bye!

7:43 am

Bye Scrabs, bye Haz!

7:43 am

Bye!

7:43 am

Trif how scarey you night must have been! hope your daughter heals well and doesnt suffer any mental anguish from the incident

7:56 am

7:56 am

ah, today is all Saint's day

7:56 am

No, I thought she was telling them, but she did not.

7:57 am

I always get the two mixed up! duh

7:57 am

phew.

7:57 am

who got shot?

7:57 am

Zach and Dylan know though...I told them last night and we talked about it.

7:58 am

The bacon delivery man, crossy!

7:58 am

7:58 am

((Nono)) good morning

7:58 am

Trif, So sorry this happened to your little one.

7:58 am

7:58 am

time to start my ch 6/24, see everyone later today

7:58 am

secondo got shot crossy. she was out trick or treating with friends,

7:58 am

Yes, they are OK. That is why I told them and talked to them about it...so they would understand what happened.

7:59 am

{{mom}}

7:59 am

i am guessing it was idiots with a bb gun or you would be at the hospital now.i hope they catch the idiots

bye ((Mom))

8:00 am

it was idiots, we were at the hospital, and she is okay now

8:00 am

((Ruby and Nono)) enjoy you day

8:00 am

bye (((Mom))) have a great day

8:00 am

that is good,now if they can nab the kids who did this

8:00 am

Is she up yet Trif?

8:01 am

no. i keep obsessively checking on her

8:01 am

Just wondering emotionally how she will be today.

8:01 am

how old is she

8:02 am

14

8:02 am

...which is frightening in itself!!!

8:02 am

will be a big scare,but hopefully she is not traumatized over this

8:03 am

*poof* for now

bye ruby

8:03 am

Bye Ruby!

8:03 am

bye bye ((Annie))

8:03 am

bye bye ruby

8:03 am

Bye mom!

8:05 am

Oh my! I have 8/14 8's!!!!

8:05 am

I should not pay attention more often!

8:07 am

"the father" just called - def thinks we should follow up with los hombres. I am starting to agree

absolutely Trif

8:08 am

Follow up, but the chances of any information will be slim.

8:08 am

However, there is probably a lot of "talk" amongst the yewts and you may find out who did it.

8:08 am

yes, that was my thought also, car

8:09 am

Trif, I'm so sorry about what happened to your girl. I'm glad she is okay.

8:09 am

Good grief! Just realized sh4 is in the grid! We are all heading to the PB today!

8:10 am

I was waiting for someone to notice that. : D There is coffee and danish in the PB.

8:11 am

I realized it too, but decided I didn't ca4. surely we could make an exception?

under the circumstances Trif I think so

8:11 am

[[filling up my cup and noshing right now}}

8:12 am

car - go to the police station or call the police station?

and bye the way, i didnt have that word yet :(

8:12 am

Yeah, Trif...the best bet is going to be the gossip route. Kids cannot keep their mouths shut. But DO tell the police as well.

8:12 am

GO to the station...with secundo.

8:13 am

yes. you are right

8:13 am

Visual aids work wonders.

8:13 am

You want me to pick up tertiare today?

8:14 am

I agree--the offender(s) need to know this too, via gossip or questioning of neighborhood kids by police. The offender(s) needs to be made afraid of being caught.

8:14 am

no, but thanks, I think it ought to be me. I have not seen her since last night and she might be a bit twisted

8:14 am

good point, scrabbler!

8:16 am

over half way....

8:16 am

big board today

8:17 am

i guess i am just most afraid of a) this becoming some HUGE deal in this teeny town of ours or b) looking like an idiot == we can't PROVE anything here - even the hospital would only say it was "consistent" with a bb or pellet wound, not a "definite" one. They said her injury was caused by a sharp piece of metal travelling very quickly, but without actual proof, what do I have?

8:18 am

It is a big deal--imagine eye trauma leading to loss of vision.

8:18 am

you should have some witnesses, no? and did any of them hear the pop of the weapon?

8:19 am

some kids heard the sound of a mailbox getting hit. but no one SAW anything

8:19 am

and even without proof, the police will surely want to know if there is someone brazen and stupid enough to open fire on kids at halloween. that is the sort of behaviour that they are keen to not see escalate

i would certainly think so bonker

8:20 am

Trif....take her to the police station, file a report. They will do the follow up. #1 & #3 will most likely hear bits and pieces around the school. Pass those onto the police as well. Let them do the follow up. It will be coming from them, not you. Appropriate action needs to be taken. For her sake...she needs to know that something is being done about it. And BELIEVE me...someone knows EXACTLY who had the gun out last night.

8:21 am

the other option, should the officials seem reticent, is to suggest going to the media. other parents will definitely want to know if someone is taking potshots at kids

8:21 am

except what if it wasnt' a gun, and I file a report based on what might be true, and it turns out to be not true?

8:22 am

Oh well then. It needs to be followed up. you are giving the police the information that was passed onto you by the PROFESSIONALS at the hospital.

8:22 am

it might be a slingshot. in any case, it is a very real concern that someone is aiming a dangerous projectile weapon at kids

8:23 am

that is the very thing though - the professionals would not say. if the police ask the doctor or nurse about it, they are sure to say "we never said it was a gunshot!"

8:23 am

And the other thing, Trif....get some rest today. Right now you are wired, tired and upset. When she is up, make the report at the police station, but then just lay low for the day. You both will need it.

8:23 am

hang on - THAT is an excellent point, bonkler!

even if not aiming at the kids, being halloween night there were certainly plenty of children out and about

8:24 am

This isn't a court case Trif. Just pass on the information that was given to you. You are not filing false information...just the information you were provided with.

8:24 am

thanks car. right now I couldn't sleep if i drank a whole bottle of nyquil. wish she would get up. then we could just go and file the report already

8:24 am

Take it a step at a time Trif. Why don't you rest now while she is sleeping. You don't have to sleep...just rest.

8:25 am

Back again. Even if a gun was not used, some small missile was launched under dangerous conditions--at a person.

8:25 am

i would rather hang out with you all, but i promise, I will only discuss rainbows and sparkly things for the rest of the morning, no more dramz!

8:25 am

A step at a time....

8:26 am

When one is this tired, things can snowball out of proportion very quickly. Stop thinking of all the what ifs. Just deal with what is right in front of you at this moment. Take a step at a time....

8:27 am

phantom: churro...now I want mexican food.

8:28 am

Hey...has anyone heard from Eva? Just wondering how her wedding was.

probably not back from honeymoon yet

8:29 am

checking back in - so sorry to find out it was your daughter, Trif, I thought it was one of the friends, but in any case I hope all the kids are all right

8:29 am

WHAT?!?!?! Not babbling on her honeymoon!?!?!?

8:29 am

Good Morning - Eva popped in for a minute last monday before leaving on her honeymoon - said the wedding was wonderful - but didnt give any details

8:29 am

Thank you River! And good morning!

8:29 am

Hi Riverdance

ahhhh good to hear! and Hi River

8:29 am

Hi JBV!

8:30 am

hi car and Nono and River!

8:30 am

Grrr, Facebook is now blocked here at the Indian Reservation Health Ctr.

8:30 am

Hello Everyone

8:30 am

bastards!

8:30 am

How dare they!

8:31 am

scrabs, you might laugh at this - I just had to explain "interns" and "residents" to someone on the Italian forum - they don't have the same system there so it was a little difficult

8:31 am

well at least they didnt block babble...

8:31 am

Yes, I just want to play my words in Scrabble. Grrr.

8:31 am

OOOOH! Grayed the center E!!!!!!

i can understand their blocking facebook, there are way too many privacy issues and other things going on there

8:32 am

Aha, JBV. Intern = primo anno. Residency = tre o quattro o cinque anni

8:32 am

Morning folks

8:32 am

good morning Mr Bob

morning Bob

8:32 am

iam already on the phone brb

8:32 am

The "Forti-Guard" lists it as violating "personal relationship" guidelines.

8:32 am

yes, but their preliminary medical education is different- I don't think they do 4 yrs undergrad + 4 yrs medical

8:32 am

Hi Bob

8:32 am

It was me...sorry.

8:33 am

I think that Europeans enter med school earlier, yes, and the admission process is not as rigorous, although the training is.

8:34 am

Some Americans go to Italian med schools.

8:35 am

that must be difficult if you don't speak Italian? :)

8:35 am

For someone that already knows Italian. I know a guy that did that.

8:35 am

interesting

UK is 5 years academic/ 2 years residential

8:36 am

May I please have a clue for the S in the right column?

entry to all universities in UK is at 17, although for med school likely you'd have to do extra elective year to get the grades

8:36 am

Usually the Americans that do not gain admission to American med schools go to one of 2 English language med schools in the Carribbean.

8:37 am

TY, Fish.

8:37 am

sa4 car

8:37 am

(hanging head in shame....)

8:37 am

TY Trif.

8:39 am

Phantom = research.

8:42 am

I need the second column R for NBT please?

8:42 am

*chug-a-chug-a-chug* Almost halfway.

8:42 am

The grid does move right along today...

8:42 am

The one with 2 words? I have neither but will look.

8:42 am

Yup...that's the one.

8:44 am

LOL, I am finding words from the other Rs like crazy now, but that one R is sneaky!

I forget that it's only a big holiday here!

10:52 am

is anybody here?

10:53 am

hi ruby just got in from work n40 left to go

10:54 am

hello bethn

10:54 am

always wanted to ask you, how did you end up in france?

10:55 am

that is a big question. Always wanted to live here, since my first trip in 1964

10:55 am

and finally did it with this husband....

10:56 am

I love the country and the language but, unfortunately, wound up in an area with bad food

10:56 am

bad food in FRANCE??????

10:57 am

this area, in the foothills of the Alps, soaks everything in cheese

10:57 am

and there is no good seafood

10:58 am

i like cheese and cant eat seafood (allergies) i might be very content there

10:59 am

never been to france St. barths is the closest I've come most of the food there is heaven, although you do get the occasional culinary failure

10:59 am

you might be happy here. Do you have Google Earth? Look up Annecy and Veyrier du Lac and you will see how beautiful it is

10:59 am

i will check it out

11:00 am

did you find it welcoming as an american?

11:00 am

Hi ruby

11:01 am

surprisingly, in our tiny village, the people are wonderful. It would be a disaster, though, is I didn't speak the language

11:01 am

hello bichon

11:01 am

how is your husband doing?

11:01 am

if* not is

11:02 am

i got it :) we all translate typos well here

11:02 am

badly and we go to court on Friday. I am happy with our lawyer, who seems to have made a very good and thorough case for us.

11:03 am

i feel so badly for him (and you)

11:03 am

it has been horrible for him

11:03 am

and they haven't put the dog down

11:03 am

how could they not?

11:04 am

this is definitely a strange place! I think you could commit a murder here and not go to jail

11:04 am

hopefully, after the hearing, the judge will order the dog put down

11:04 am

can someone help me with the te6/18 before the te 4/4 which is a number? thanks

11:05 am

the owner has no clout politically does he?

11:05 am

the first half of a playground equipment piece joey?

11:06 am

he may have, as his is an old family here. Fortunately, I have very good testimonies from a lot of different sources and, after all, my husband didn't bite the dog!

11:06 am

the other half is in the grid as well

11:06 am

thanks, I appreciate the help bethn

11:06 am

no problem, happy to help

11:07 am

he probably should have ruby, at least he would have had that small satisfaction

11:07 am

this has certainly been an additional education in French mores

hi all

hi all

11:07 am

hello TO

11:07 am

hi TO

11:08 am

he did, however, smack it in the mouth after the second attack!

11:08 am

too bad he wasn't holding a brick at the time

11:09 am

when he goes for a walk now, he carries a knife although I don't think it would have done him any good

11:11 am

I'm glad it hasn't made him house bound

11:12 am

then I would probably bite him!

11:13 am

you could go out for a pack of gauloise and never come home

11:13 am

*mean ruby*

11:13 am

no, truthful ruby! i pray my dh never retires

11:14 am

retirement is a disaster!!!

11:15 am

he is an engineer, and they seem to go on forever at his co.

11:15 am

12:06 pm

ho 9 10 are not valid

12:06 pm

Where are you these days, Ardilla?

12:06 pm

i'm still under 30 words

12:06 pm

lickety has the 9-10 combo listed that enable won't accept

12:06 pm

ok, but they are real words, very confusing

12:07 pm

spain, been here for little over 2 weeks

12:07 pm

and I was so pleased with myself for finding them

12:07 pm

i think our version of enable considers them as 2 separate

12:07 pm

I suspect the unaccepted ho9/10 should be 2 separate words

12:07 pm

w ords

12:07 pm

We are all pleased with you, Peri!

12:08 pm

I believe the one we think should be a 9-10 is actually 2 words whereas the similar 8-9 combo is not

12:08 pm

maybe but there have been words accepted that I know are two words or at least hyphenated

12:08 pm

thanks Scrabs :)

12:08 pm

the ho 8-9 combo is a victorian rail vehicle

12:09 pm

yes, the kentucky derby combo is two words; google corrected me

12:47 pm

the issue is that castillan spanish is spoken here and babelfish doesn't differentiate between the types of spanish

12:48 pm

so a lot of the words don't translate correctly

12:48 pm

maybe there will be pictures on the labels?

12:48 pm

like restroom is aseo not bano here

12:48 pm

what is it?

12:48 pm

4:53 pm

Yummy, many thanks, Jaq :-)

4:53 pm

Oh i bet they loved being out so late, Jaq..i`m sure they were well looked after.

4:54 pm

but my front porch light was on

4:54 pm

zooz, they were trully out alone, i asked

4:54 pm

yes.. our house is kind of only one facing our side of block on our street.. so we put lit pumpkins out at end of walk..

4:55 pm

Oh i see, not so good then really.

4:55 pm

that's too young.

4:55 pm

4:55 pm

4:57 pm

Not sure if they would come to your door then..lol

4:57 pm

and I was so proud of my dog. he woofed a bunch when teh first trick or treaters came.. but then he got the routine VERY quickly. He'd give a very short little arf to say someone was coming.. and then come sit next to me quietly

4:58 pm

cute

4:58 pm

Bless him, sounds like he is well trained.

4:58 pm

my daughters dog was offering people their new kitten, he kept picking it up and running to the door with it

4:58 pm

he's a total sweetheart. He just turned 2!

4:59 pm

LOL, would loved to of seen that, Jaq.

4:59 pm

oh dear! did they film it?

4:59 pm

cute jacq! I had my dog names "boo" dressed in a little back shirt with neon skeleton on his back...very entertaining for the wee ones! He's about 5 pounds of white lhaso-poodle-yorkie fluff!

4:59 pm

she said the kitten looked like it had had a bath by the end of the night

4:59 pm

Oh..hahahaha, is that your pumpkin in the icon, M9?

4:59 pm

5:12 pm

heya kaplan

5:12 pm

thanks! :)

5:13 pm

tomorrow night will suck! lol

5:13 pm

but.. in a way.. obama deserves it.. he overreached.

I have never been anything close to a republican, but I think if I had been, I would think the Party had been taken over by lunatic aliens

5:13 pm

not necessarily cosd -- polls are exclusively done on land lines

5:13 pm

true

5:13 pm

cell phones...

5:14 pm

sometimes one has to overreach in order to reach ones original goal

5:14 pm

i know my state will elect a dem governor so that's something at least

he didn't overreach--there was nothing he could have done- the loony right wing hates him and he corporations back the loony right wing

5:14 pm

and that is why i am desprerately trying to get nbt or 1/2 because I am about to go GOTV (get out the vote) for the evening

What state, Cos

5:14 pm

always, money gets money

5:15 pm

colorado

5:15 pm

and then get up at 4:30 to do voter protection all day

5:15 pm

i may not be babbling tomorrow afternoon.. im doing GOTV

5:15 pm

wtg cosd!

5:15 pm

jmc - VA or MD or just DC?

5:15 pm

you know it is sad when there is so little worth watching on cable that you pay extra for a classic tv pacv-k so you can pay to watch prograns that you used to watch 30 years ago for frre with rabbit ears....

That's cool. My spouse is pollwatching but I will be pulling a pillow over my head.

5:16 pm

national

5:16 pm

i know theres a nasty governors race in MD and a good conrgessman in VA who is about to lose

Crossy, I will take TCM to the old age home with me when I go, and just live in the past

5:17 pm

lol.. lucy.. there will never be another Lucy

The past that never really was, of course.

5:17 pm

what frustrates me is how some people can act like it was obama and the recent congress that caused the recession rather than 8 years of less and less regulation the financial industry

5:17 pm

i saw an episode the other day when she was trying to shoo chickens into the pen and she was doing a dance.. and the magazine people came.. cracked me up

5:17 pm

hope i get the old twilight zpnes...

Just like Ronald Reagan did. It worked for him, didn't it?

5:17 pm

zones

5:18 pm

the idiot woman from alaska said yesterday obama had 2 years to fix the economy and he didnt... umm.......... it takes 6-7 years to fix what Bush did.

5:19 pm

it will take decades to fix our economies, but it is usually the ordinary joe who suffers the greatest hardship while it's happening

The people I really have a hard time understanding are swing voters. They just blow with the wind.

5:19 pm

and the voters blame the ones in office.. tomorrow's greatest loss fo me is... speaker pelosi

5:20 pm

perhaps because the choice is like hobsons, between the devil and the deep blue sea

5:20 pm

i am so tired of corruption and lies i refuse to vote

5:20 pm

i would want to see harry reid lose.. hes an ineffective senator and majority leader but that means sharron angle... ugh.. ill go with reid.

There are some real crazies that are getting farther than they ever should

5:21 pm

election talk,,crossy runs...different hand in your pocket is all

5:21 pm

yes. sharron angle, joe miller, rand paul

5:22 pm

thank god that witch in delaware is going to lose

5:22 pm

oh jac i just was reading about how much the suffragettes suffered to get that right -- i vote

5:22 pm

i am not a witch i am you

5:22 pm

lol

5:23 pm

at the rally to restore sanity this one guy had a coyote aand a sign that said "i am not a coyote. I am you"

5:23 pm

lol

5:23 pm

i always voted jmc, but the past two years revelations about over paid expenses for out members of parliament, and what they cabn claim for has disgusted me, these people cab claim more than a years wages for an ordinary joe, just to decorate a second home

Arrrghhhh!

sorry

5:24 pm

the corruption goes across all parties at all levels and has sickened me, we can't trust these people to run their own lives the right way but we let them run the country

5:24 pm

i remember hearing about those jac!

5:25 pm

which two words are not valid in lickety please?

5:25 pm

a £20,000 duck pond and house, £21,000 to redecorate a flat, switching residences so their own mortgage gets paid

5:25 pm

i have never earned that in any one year, even with two jobs

5:25 pm

ho9 and ho 10 but i can't say which ones

5:26 pm

If you don't vote, you can't complain

Why isn't jetter a word?

5:26 pm

Thank-you, Jmc :-)

5:26 pm

i don't complain, i don't trust them period

5:26 pm

i agree kap jetter is a word but what can you do?

5:27 pm

when i used to bar tend,there was a credo i used to work by.talk about anything except politics and religion..so hows about we all just talk about sex? lol

5:27 pm

five more to 1/2 way

5:27 pm

LOLOL i agree crossy

5:27 pm

hat's sex?

5:28 pm

what's lol

5:28 pm

Its the second ho9/66 thats not valid, Jmc :-)

5:28 pm

i heard about long agojacq..but i got scared and ran away

I don't know what sex is- but I used the f word in the chog when I was quoting an express and was censured

Sex- it's something to do, I guess.

an expression, I mean. I wasn't swearing- just quoting

5:29 pm

i know teenagers think they invented it lol

5:30 pm

1/2 way and off to GOTV

5:30 pm

bye all

91;\

5:30 pm

Take care, Jmc.

Sex is for teenagers- and Betty White.

5:30 pm

*sniggers out the chog as she thinks about how shocked teens would be to hear about her 20s*

5:31 pm

Betty White - the patron saint of gay men :)

5:31 pm

mine would be shocked to hear about my 40's LOL

5:31 pm

well betty is a machine..cannot keep up with that

5:31 pm

Betty White for President!

5:31 pm

Yep, but Kap, Betty wouldn't smack you for your quote this morning, I don't think. ; P

5:31 pm

Some old ladies think highly of her too

5:32 pm

anyone here hear what she said the other day about gay marriage?

No, what?

5:32 pm

i have to go for a bit, am supposed to be masking off the woodwork in the bathroom, have fun and fireworks everyone

5:33 pm

"I don't care who anybody sleeps with," "If a couple has been together all that time - and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones - I think it's fine if they want to get married. I don't know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don't worry about other people so much."

betty White can swear like a truck driver.

5:33 pm

Later, jac

5:33 pm

as the last golden girl standing,you gotta listen to her lol

5:33 pm

Take care, Jaq :-)

Oh, I did hear that.

A role-model for aging. Joan Rivers- an anti-role model.

5:34 pm

sers

5:34 pm

betty white just signed to be in Men in Black 3 according to imdb

5:34 pm

lol,if joan has 1 more face lift she is going to vanish onto a black hole

5:34 pm

hi folks (or, crossy, she'd have a beard)

All I did this morning was when people were talking about the origins of some expressions I said that I thought "F****in awesome dude was fairly recent.

5:34 pm

excuse me - that's why I don't chat much

5:34 pm

i love that woman. i grew up with the golden girls i feel like theyre family. bea arthur died on my 30th birthday.. i cried lol - for bea and for turning 30

5:35 pm

np mklein,i always did like your clues best

So someone told me not to use that language in a public chog, and I said I read it in a public book, and hence, I was in my very first chog argument.

I felt really bad that I made someone mad, because underneath my rough exterior I am really a very sensitive person..

5:36 pm

lol kaplan,nothing is new under the sun,i love victorian sf and sea fiction and you see it all in there

5:36 pm

personally Kap, I felt you were right. I don't see a problem with language here - we're about 99% adults, and the kids know worse words anyway.

5:36 pm

Saw that, Kaplan. Some are very uptight and too easily offended. Wouldn't let it worry you. ;)

5:37 pm

Hello, NB & JC :-)

5:37 pm

Hi, NB and JC

5:37 pm

Wow, Julian, I know I've already said it, but that is the BEST picture ;)

5:38 pm

we do not care here,it is just as betty white said,hell you want to get married here? do it.you have same rights and obligations as anyone else and all the govt set up as well..a non issue really

That's kind of what I thought. But I swear like Betty White.

In fact, let me go change my icon...

5:38 pm

Hello, Jellen! And thank you, Jesse - I think? If that's my best I'm in trouble. :P

5:39 pm

5:40 pm

I'm sorry, zoozzoom - missed your hello! Hello. :)

5:41 pm

Not the very best, maybe, Julian. You might have shown me your best earlier :P

5:41 pm

No problems, JC ;-)

5:41 pm

i'm taking a break from puttying the nail holes in crown molding. I am too old for manual labor, but my wallet doesn't believe me

5:41 pm

5:42 pm

dr g placed a list link for us at the bottom of this page

5:42 pm

(Rolls eyes.) :P

5:42 pm

mklein, no worries about forgetting you're in the chat log. We all do it. That's why we leave goodies in the penalty box. : )

5:43 pm

we have to keep it stocked,or we would of all starved to death in there long ago

5:43 pm

oooh Molly, your icon is pretty.

5:43 pm

i am worki ng on two 6666s and slogging thru my first 250 on my work machine i don't know if it is my work computer or if they have asked it to decipher the meaning of life but it has only done 42 folds in 4 days

5:43 pm

Oh, mklein? There's someone I haven't seen in a long while - hello, if you're here?

I have to go. I can' tfind my Betty White icon.

5:44 pm

goodies? How do I do that\

5:44 pm

lol,it is all for the common good.i would love a big one to fold,but i seem to be stuck in a rut of 250,s

5:44 pm

i saw dr g's link now if he would only sign up

5:44 pm

Hi. I am usually around, but just don't say much.

5:44 pm

i will nag him again soon

5:44 pm

Thanks NB. I love the color of the Fall. It's the Winter that comes after it that I struggle with.

5:44 pm

5:47 pm

(and then i'd get to meet your cape!)

5:47 pm

did i ever tell you that you are my favorite bethen??....

5:47 pm

they are a great cookie, but omg the calories :/

5:48 pm

WILL PUTTY FOR BETH'S COOKIES.

5:48 pm

I can't even imagine, Beth! What's the damage per cookie, do you reckon?

5:48 pm

who gives a crap about calories? the 4th cancer lined up for me will probably take me off and if i am to go i cannot think of a better way than with a belly full of cookies...lol

9:54 pm

mother gave me a cricut for my last bday... I LOVE it -- hope to use it some this coming weekend to make bookmarks for all my students that I am leaving...

9:54 pm

my fave phantom is research

9:54 pm

Hey! I went to Michael's with you... doesn't that count?

I sell Stampin' Up!, so I try not to buy stuff that I cannot use in my workshops, thus no cricut. :(

If I had any calligraphy skills, I probably wouldn't use it as much .... I love Stampin' Up products.... my daughter is going to help me heat emboss my Christmas cards this year.... Sooooo pretty

9:55 pm

woot! ga!

I see that you did !!! Fireworks for you too ??

11:18 pm

Yes, thanks m'dear.

there were some nice words in this grid.... and I'm beginning to think like a "babbler" !! My years of crosswords and word games has helped, but this is still a wee bit different... many archaic and foreign words :-))

11:20 pm

It went really quickly last night....only had 50 or so for tonight. It DID NOT go quickly tonight. Thanks again.

11:20 pm

i wish the flip was EST. i played last nitefor 45 min and knocked out 200+ words but it is too late for me when i have to get up and go to work

early morning tomorrow... another checkup on hubby's repaired retina.... it's been a little touch and go, but the repair "took" and now he's on the mend !!

11:21 pm

the longer you play, the more words are readily visible, but there are still a zillion that elude me

I am MST.... and don't often wait for the flip. I know I won't be tonight !

11:21 pm

OH! I am so glad to hear that diane. I will send good thoughts your way

11:22 pm

Diane, a lot of it is being in such good company. I've been on at night and started feeling funny...asked if there were doctors or nurses on....right away someone came on....and I wound up in ER....there's always someone here for us. Glad you are in the crowd.

thanks so much ! It was a little scary at first, and he still can't see past the gas bubble they put in there to hold things in place, but it will dissipate.

11:23 pm

to have severe eye problems is very scary. He ( and you) must have been a wreck

oh my.... how fortunate. They "read" your symptoms and got you moving... so special !!

11:24 pm

there are some wonderful people on here

11:24 pm

Diane, I missed part of your conversation...do I need to pray and send energy to you or your family?

well, I stay pretty calm, but he was a little frightened. This procedure has only been used for about 5 years.... thank goodness for research

sweet of you ga.... but everything is looking great... except the "eye" in question, and it will be fine. He is very healthy otherwise.

11:26 pm

when the medical system works it can do miraculous things. My godson is in training to be an opthamologist. We are very proud

11:26 pm

OK. If ever you need me...just ask.

11:26 pm

I'm sure you are bethn.

I feel that I can :-)))

I'll bet you are beth !!

11:27 pm

Going to check emails....back in a bit.
