about 6 1/2 hours

102 Gran

2:56 am

Thanks

That is a long flight. I dont blame you. What about Drivng?

2:57 am

that'd take about 5 days

2:57 am

I'll suck it up

Ok that is wow long time.

2:57 am

hubby's not retired yet else we would just take our time

I was going to say if it was a 2 day drive then you could take it easy

2:58 am

we like to stop to sleep none of that marathon driving

2:59 am

I'm going to bring DVD's to watch

Ok what I am getting for b.fs parents and nana and pop is home made lemon butter and candied walnuts. I am also going to make shortbread and put that into ramekin. Putting this ontop of a turned wood bowl my dad is making. Also including a perfume pot. For the host home made cranberry, strawberry and vanilla syrup and some store bought chocs in a little jar

3:00 am

that sounds perfect

I had to get the jars before they sold out.

3:01 am

Yes

3:02 am

big family gathering?

Not sure whose house it is going to be

Not sure. Not been mentioned

3:02 am

I mean does he have a big family

His dads side yes.

3:04 am

Tom has 5 brothers and 1 sister so there will be a pile of them at Christmas

I think that is like his dads side

3:04 am

they do a brunch at their house Christmas Day

Nice

3:05 am

and we'll be able to spread to the outside

I have absolutly no idea on what is happening with it

3:06 am

seems odd to have Christmas in summer..wish we could

3:07 am

we've already had a bit of snow

3:07 am

big yuck

Um West that depends on the weather. It is very random

3:09 am

here too can never depend on it

But we could have 38C or 15C

3:10 am

as long as you're all together and Santa is good to you

3:10 am

what's on your wish list?

Not much. Just getting there I supose

3:12 am

did you decide what to get the bf?

Um.

3:13 am

is he looking over your shoulder? lol

I think so. I would love to get him a Sony E Reader

3:14 am

got hubby an iPhone 4g for his birthday...lucky me got his old 3g

Nice

I honestly don't know it will depend on money. And there isn't much of that

3:17 am

someday there will be and the prices keep going down

True but I am also very greatful for what we have

3:18 am

you should be you two have a lot going for you

YUes

3:26 am

love it when they get caught

3:27 am

There are 4 couples renovating an apartment each. The apartments each have their pros and cons. This couple have a twin brother and they have been using the twin brother to apologizes for their indescresions.

No we don;t. But it could be on pay tv

3:28 am

it's out of Canada the designer does one room or area..I wish I had her money

3:29 am

pretty sneaky lol

3:30 am

4:31 am

Morning Haz

4:31 am

ri9 times 2.

4:32 am

Morning ruby and herin

4:32 am

thanks, I will work on those

4:33 am

ri5/12 - used to squeeze potatoes, add an auto for au8/50, then two different vowel endings for the two ri9/66.

4:34 am

ooh, isn't the ri9 a piece of music?

4:34 am

ooh, isn't the ri9 a piece of music?

4:34 am

I vaguely remember ri9 in D by JSBach.....

4:35 am

Yes, ruby, you're right.

4:35 am

that's 100 yrs back in my memory

4:36 am

guest and husband want their aperos so see you later.

4:36 am

4:36 am

{{herin}}

4:37 am

You're welcome, ruby, bye for now.

4:38 am

Ooh, just come on in time for Haz's nice clues. ty Haz, now have the 8 and both 9s!

4:39 am

Hello, Sally.

4:39 am

back to bed, see you all later

4:40 am

Sleep well, Buttonman.

Been in DEvon for two days with no internet access. Suffering badly from withdrawal symptoms.

4:41 am

Welcome back to the virtual world!

Seem to have come back to a hard grid.

I had thought I could play Babble in bed while I was away, but it was one of those houses where you only get a connection standing in one particular room by one particular window and preferably standing on one leg!

4:47 am

You couldn't get the laptop onto a little harness - like the old-time cinema usherettes?

4:47 am

Well, at least you can access this puzzle easily enough, it takes a bit of working at, though.

Hi Sally

Clues are up

4:52 am

Thanks, lickety. Welcome back!

Hi Lickety and thanks

5:04 am

I must be off. Enjoy the grid. Bye all.

bye Haz

Bye Haz HI Sally

6:34 am

Hello Marc.

carlee... I spent 16 hours in total cleaning my house (spring clean) and 3 of that was in my daughter's room!! Start with something that isn't daunting!!

When I put it up it says list for November 6th on Lickety's

6:39 am

hi carlee

6:39 am

6:40 am

((Annie)) good morning. Have you phoned the doctor?

6:40 am

hi annie how are u???

6:40 am

Hi Mom herin Annie Carlee good to see you all

I am on a MAC and I am not sure what you mean but I will try and restart the computer and see what happens

I want a clean house!

6:40 am

((Herin)) hello, sorry your boyfriend is not well

My daughter has a regular bedroom... walk in wardrobe and walk in cupboard... and I literally pulled out 5 garbage bins of rubbish from her room!! revolting child!

6:40 am

hello norma

6:40 am

Hi Norma, good to see you also

6:40 am

Yes, I am ambivalent about going, might stick it out till next week, this might go away

6:40 am

i do that too..mind not 5 bags....usually 2

BAH I want a Dyson

6:41 am

oh Annie, what if you chipped something?

and you know what else I found???

6:41 am

mrp...not revolting, just a soon to be teen..How old is Madison?

(do I want to know)

6:41 am

Hi ((Mrp)) so good to see you, what?

about 20 years worth of stationary!! what the hell does she need with 500 pencils, 64 rubbers and 27 sharpners!

6:42 am

Mom, I am going to take that chance...call me silly but the initial sharpness is gone

6:42 am

u counted the pencils?????<snort> kidding

maddie is 12... she is just out of control with her hording

6:42 am

I am glad to hear that Annie. I think in the same situation I would do the same

snort. That sounds like me Mr Pres where they decorative stuff or just stuff?

6:43 am

my daughter went through that stage

you too mom!! :)) Hugs

6:43 am

Mom, thanks for agreeing so now I feel better about waiting...this just might be the long healing process like scrabbs said. If not, I will go.

I kept counting the $$ signs as I threw things in the rubbish bags! LOL

6:44 am

Ah Annie, I just hate to see you hurting.

Mr Pres did you donate?

6:44 am

My thinking would be, if it were me that had fallen, how the heck are they going to put a cast on that!

6:44 am

that will be me today...keep talking mrp..u are inspiring me

ANnie what did you do to yourself?

6:45 am

Mom, they dont..it just heals and thanks for your concern

6:45 am

( that was my thought mom....a casted arse???)

infern... no one would want that crap... cause she didn't look after it

6:45 am

Mrp, you are truly an inspiration

6:45 am

herin, I fell hard on my tailbone almost a month ago

6:45 am

lol Carlee

oh ouch annie!! so sorry to hear that! ((hugs))

6:46 am

going making coffee now...high test....kick me into gear for the day

So it was just scraps or what? I mean surely there was useful stuff

mom... I am truly grounding her!! LOL

6:46 am

come back soon, Carlee

see you soon carlee!

6:46 am

thanks mrp. carlee, bring me a cup, please

Loves Carlee.

O Annie OUCHIE

6:47 am

6:48 am

Hi Molly.

mrp..it was wonderful seeing you. Hugs to you and Lickety

6:53 am

{{{MRP}}}

night girls!! (((hugs))) to you all!!

6:55 am

I think my Lickety Expert is broken. :-( I tried refreshing and I still have the grid from the weekend. I refresh clues and I get the words I added today but the grid doesn't change

6:56 am

Mom, close Expert and open it again, that might work

6:56 am

no luck Annie :(

6:56 am

passing annie her cuppa coffee

6:57 am

clear your temp files and cookies

6:57 am

and log out of expert..and log back in

6:57 am

I will restart the computer in a bit and see if that fixes it, otherwise I will drop a note off to Lickety

6:57 am

thanks carlee, good coffee

6:57 am

.... um ... hello? remember me?

6:58 am

hello green

6:58 am

woo hoo, that did it. thanks Annie and Carlee

6:58 am

hi there! it's been a LONG time!

6:58 am

welcome annie

6:58 am

hi green

6:58 am

didn't think to do an actual log out just closed out the window.

AsG I was hopping to see you. I noticed you are not on my FB friends any more and I was hopping you were ok?

6:58 am

no...u have to log out

6:58 am

Indeed, Asgreen, welcome back

6:59 am

all is good now, Carlee, thanks

6:59 am

glad to know mom

7:00 am

hi herin! I'm good - I'm not on your list? at one point I think I got teased by my hubby about not knowing my friends...so I "cleaned it up" a bit. Sorry about that!

:( Sad. I was just hopping you were ok. I thought as much

7:01 am

Trying to be a better role model for kiddos - about "knowing" who they chat with. They entered middle school - a whole new ball 'o wax

Morning all...My Lickety is still on Sat as well and have tried several ways to get updated...strange...never had issue before. ALso my Lickety no longer retains the words if I leave the site before finishing. Just noting in case anyone else has the same problem..otherwise all is well. :)

7:02 am

rkb... log right out of expert..clean your cookies and temp files...and then log back in

I understand Green I was just hopping you were ok.

7:02 am

and morning rbk :)

7:02 am

RKB, if you leave the site before finishing, when you return click on "send words to clues"..this is for Babble Expert

7:03 am

I came on a day or two ago and tried a grid.... then they all got big again so I used that as an excuse not to do; today's seems a good size, but tougher than I thought!

7:03 am

how's everything w/you herin?

Green You may be on my fl on FB but I am not sure of your real name (it is ok i did try and remember)

7:03 am

ok...i am inspired...i am getting into grub clothes...and getting to work...ttfn *poof*

7:04 am

Fatoosh Carlee.

OOP sorry

7:29 am

Mom, I sent a msg before saying I wish I could help more but Expert froze and the message never came up

7:30 am

oh I appreciate that Annie. It is something stupid on my part, I am sure. I will get sweetie to look at it tonight.

7:31 am

Can someone give me a clue for the em7 please

7:32 am

Annie, I GOT IT!!! It finally works

7:33 am

Buttonman, the em appears to be another one of my errors from using Saturday's list. Let me see what the other 7 is

7:33 am

There is no em7

7:34 am

ch 7/36 ch 7/48 co 7/36 qu 7/40

7:49 am

thank goodness Lickety is back with us

7:50 am

Good morning Flosey

7:51 am

halfway done - off for a bit. bbl!

7:52 am

way to go Asgreen. see you soon

7:54 am

Its nice to have Lickety back but I would like to thank Volley and all the others that posted clues for us .... thank you ladies and gentlemen

7:54 am

Amen, Norma

7:55 am

I have never been able to do it and finish without clues ... I am a sad case lol

7:55 am

no you are not Norma. I couldn't finish even with the clues

7:56 am

Thanks Mom I feel better for that lol

7:56 am

yes Norma, I certainly do appreciate those who have finished earlier posting the clues, I would have been a total mess without them

7:56 am

9:00 here, time to start my day. You're welcome Norma

7:56 am

((Hugs)) to all of you

7:56 am

They are clever people.. a lot more clever than me

Bye mom see you again soon (((((hugs_))))))

7:57 am

((Norma)) see you soon

7:58 am

mornin babblers!

7:59 am

Afternoon Eva

7:59 am

morning Eva

7:59 am

lovely wedding pictures

8:00 am

thankyou flosey :)

8:06 am

need a cup of coffee, perhaps that would help me wake up!

8:06 am

brb

8:07 am

hi all

8:08 am

why do you think it is that whenever i open up my browser window on a computer babble is on top? :-)

8:09 am

Again I was thrown out of Babble..back after much climbing

8:10 am

*throws annie a rope*

8:10 am

Sorry jmc don't know enough about computers, but perhaps you have got it in your startup routine?

8:10 am

thanks jmc, needed a rope

8:11 am

i think it is because it is the last thing i do every night!

8:11 am

EvaN, your wedding pics are lovely

8:11 am

they are very nice Evan

8:13 am

thankyou. :) not many posted up there yet, but got a few good ones!

8:14 am

unusual boquet

8:14 am

which is just my style. :)

8:21 am

its good to do you wedding in your own style rather than a cookie cutter model

8:21 am

And oh, they are all so cookie cutter these days. Same style dress, same hair style, same tiara, etc.

8:21 am

it is the use of "wedding planners" that i blame

8:22 am

and having people learn to dance to do the "first dance"

8:23 am

we did the general flow in a mostly-traditional way, but we definitely had very specific personal touches throughout.

8:24 am

but traditional is fine if that is what expresses you

8:24 am

it is the people who do things because they are "suppose to" that i am talking about

8:24 am

i think my mother was stunned at first when i said i wouldnt be wearing a veil, but that i WOULD be wearing orange shoes. once she saw everything put together, she totally understood my vision. :)

8:25 am

i know you made all the decisions on your wedding -- all of babbleland was part of it

8:25 am

:-) and happy to be part of it

8:25 am

I know someone else who incorporated Fall colors into a Fall wedding and it was beautiful. And such a nice change from the "usual colors".

8:26 am

our pastor did an amazing job with the ceremony. i knew he would do good, but it really was the loveliest ceremony i have ever experienced. i know im biased, but he just made it so personal. and then, when it was time to exchange vows, chris got down on his knee. he explained the it was to show honor to me. i thought that was very sweet.

8:29 am

Happy memories Eva. Did someone videotape for you?

8:30 am

we didnt videotape it. i had considered it, but everyone i know you taped it said they have only watched it once or twice ever.

8:31 am

Yep, same here. Good on you for saving the money.

hi all. I a think I am looking for a third re and can't seem to find it at all. Have the resew and the reslash..???? Help on the third. THX

that's a re 5

8:31 am

i could have potentially gotten it done for free, as i have a friend who does that for a living, but i dont like asking for freebies, and he didnt offer, so i just decided not to bother with it.

oops not reslash - sorry t throw you off.

8:32 am

my grandad just stuck his videocamera in a handy spot and let it run. we don't watch it but if you were to end up in a 50-First-Dates situation i suppose it would come in handy.

8:35 am

read-knit, do you need "happen again" for a 5?

yes I do

8:37 am

can you clue the re5 before that one, please?

wow I am not paying attention. I have that one already. Have just the one to go and working at the same time..not a good combo. :)

8:38 am

i haven't got a 5 before that yet. i just have a 4 before that. "back".

8:39 am

ok, thanks

8:39 am

found it - r + **** homo

8:40 am

hmmm, guess you can't recry!

8:40 am

thanks hurshy

8:40 am

anyone have the bottom r?

good morning babblers :)

8:41 am

yes, ra6/33

re + double consonant + vowel. Finally!

bottorm r - to make something really strange

8:42 am

thanks RKB

8:46 am

aha, thanks

8:46 am

i have qu6/27 and qu4/9, what's the other Q?

8:47 am

ooh it's a 7/40, pulled a peri!

8:47 am

what is the M?

8:47 am

qu6/27 before the others, q + 2 vowels

8:47 am

oh good lord!!!!

8:48 am

sorry, was cluing a 6 that you have

8:48 am

my mother just g-chatted me to ask me if im ignoring her -- all because i didnt respond to one of several emails that she sent me yesterday, an hour before i left work.

8:48 am

*UGH*

8:49 am

(not to mention that said email was not only to invite herself over, but also informing me i would be cooking dinner)

8:49 am

mothers. :P

8:50 am

my my, Eva!

8:50 am

m = birthplace of Muhammed

8:50 am

oh thank you molly!

8:50 am

Good morning, dwellers in Babbleland.

8:51 am

morning Judi

8:51 am

Heya Judi

8:51 am

how about clues for the long ones? 8 and 9's?

8:52 am

the 2 9s follow ri8/50

8:52 am

ri8 is a compound word

8:52 am

Insane words. ri 5/12 is what you use to shred a potato. Then add auto to the end, then add an e to that.

8:53 am

if it was ra, it would make more sense ! imho

8:53 am

the endings seem to indicate that it's like, from latin or something, don't you think?

8:54 am

*serenity now*

8:54 am

They aren't compound words. They are musical terms.

8:54 am

still a compound

8:55 am

Eva that sounds like a feminine hygiene product. : D

8:55 am

Hi there. Do the 9s have the same first 4 letters as ri8?

8:56 am

just add a letter, smaandmea

8:56 am

in both 9s

8:56 am

Thank you all - weird, weird words

8:57 am

to me they were

8:58 am

i've just mailed my order form for a local, humanely raised turkey!

8:59 am

As opposed to... a turkey raised by wolves?

9:00 am

i'm so pleased, because when about a week and a half ago it was suddenly suggested that i host thanksgiving after all, i was not sure if i would be in time to get one.

9:00 am

as opposed to a factory farmed turkey. raised in cramped conditions, force fed an unnatural diet, possibly pumped full of antibiotics and/or hormones...

9:01 am

so true hurshy, you are lucky that you were able to get one

9:01 am

Free range, organic turkeys are delicious. My MIL usually gets one. Alas, I will miss out this year.

9:02 am

Morning everyone

9:02 am

morning Habes

9:02 am

unfortunately the term "free range" has no legal meaning and "organic" can still include inhumane treatment, so, i wanted to choose carefully.

9:02 am

Gosh. This is another stinker puzzle.

9:03 am

yes it is, Judi, seems they usually are when so short

9:03 am

True again, Hurshy.

9:04 am

Good morning everyone

9:04 am

9:39 am

whew

9:39 am

thanks

9:39 am

yw

9:40 am

ah, fireworks

9:40 am

i suppose you could clue it as a vowel in the middle of a bowel movement...

9:40 am

YAYAY flosey!!!

9:40 am

even with Lickekty, this grid was difficult

9:40 am

LOL, m9

9:41 am

haven't heard that expression since I was very young, a playmate used that word

9:42 am

I haven't heard it in a long time either.

9:42 am

you knew by the expression on her face what she meant

9:42 am

LOL

9:43 am

and now must be off, have to go over to Duncan for eye surgery follow-up

9:43 am

oh. hope it's good news

9:44 am

I must off also. will come back for last 4 later.

9:44 am

oh yes, m9 - it is wonderful - no glasses needed (feel a bit naked without them after so many years) only need for reading

9:44 am

just routine, perhaps remove stitch

9:46 am

co 6/24?

9:48 am

10:09 am

hi ruru

10:09 am

ra6/33 comes from there.

10:10 am

thanks, Haz - mi ro 5 was from the second row

10:10 am

hi JBV.. thank you haz.. it had a certain air about it

10:10 am

No problem.

10:13 am

10:14 am

qu7 - one who asks the question

10:14 am

10:17 am

toodles all

10:17 am

Bye, ruru.

10:18 am

bonjour tout le monde!

10:18 am

Bonjour, madame!

10:19 am

Je suis fatiguee. J'ai fait le data entry tout le jour

10:20 am

The r from the bottom row means to make richer, usually applying to air.

10:20 am

Le data entry est prone de vous donner un cas d'ennui.

10:21 am

great clue Molly ty

10:21 am

Oui. C'est vrai. Very vrai

10:21 am

Maintenant il faut trouver les mots utiles.

10:22 am

et essayer a finir le canard sucky

10:22 am

<--------- les mots sont la, but il est debatable si beauoup de them sont very utiles.

10:23 am

Le canard sucky est dificile as well.

10:24 am

tres difficile! Je ne l'aime pas!

10:24 am

Il est even difficile de speller correctement.

10:25 am

okay that r is getting to hard

10:25 am

Vous et having problems avec le canard sucky?

10:25 am

bon morning.how est chacun ce jour beau ?

10:25 am

Tray bean

10:26 am

Ata a des difficultes, meme though Einstein etait son grandpere.

10:26 am

Toujours, j'ai problemes avec canard sucky!

10:26 am

lol@tray bean

10:26 am

Je suis completed it avec ma premier tasse de tea.

10:26 am

Bonjour, crosshair. Nous parlons franglais today.

10:26 am

which way does the second letter go

10:26 am

When you have been married to a French speaker, you learn how to mangle the language.

10:27 am

Hi crossy Mollly Xcel et Hax et Ata :)

10:27 am

FM est smug.

10:27 am

i have to be careful with french,generally i know just enough to get my face slapped

10:28 am

Xcel go up and the move to the righ hand column

10:28 am

ra6 - first three letters of the unusual ra4/4, then a word of possibility (two letters) finish with the sometimes vowel.

10:28 am

aha! canard sucky vanquishee!

10:29 am

Grandpere serait tres proud.

10:29 am

j'espere!

10:29 am

Un peu de smug ici mais bocoup de mal a la tete avec aujhourdhis grid.

10:29 am

It was hard work!

10:29 am

Tu n'as jamais spoken un mot plus true, FM.

10:30 am

LOL

10:30 am

which mot ete le truest?

10:31 am

thanks but that letter is going to confuse me,

10:31 am

Tu es trop literal, je think.

10:31 am

What letter are you talking about Xcelle?

10:32 am

the r-0/1

10:32 am

The bottom r Molly

10:32 am

or is it the left hand one Excel?

10:33 am

the bottom r

10:33 am

literal est bon

10:34 am

wow! is this grid tough!!

10:34 am

r plus first three letters of Mr Onassis, letter after e, finish with the sometimes vowel. OR have you heard of the wonderment of morewords.com?

10:34 am

The ri8,9,9 gave me a real run around.

10:35 am

ra + scary movies ter***y me

10:35 am

Oh me too FM. What strange ri words they are.

10:35 am

It's not an easy grid, crosshair. Written in understatement font.

10:36 am

Je ne suis pas doing le grid au jourd'hui

10:36 am

PErhaps tomorrow will tax our endurance rather than little grey cells.

10:37 am

Tres bon idee Ata.

10:37 am

Ata est une wimp.

10:37 am

who is mr onassis?

10:37 am

*giggle*

10:37 am

you wouldn't do the grid either if you'd suffered what I've suffered today!

10:37 am

You can do a Google search on that Xcelle

10:38 am

He married Jacqueline Kennedy after JFK was killed.

10:38 am

and what have you suffered dear?

10:38 am

a common cluing promt in here xcelle

10:38 am

training on how to use our new telephones at KWT. Guess how long it took?

10:38 am

Xcel - look at Mollys clue at 10.35

10:39 am

2 hours?

10:39 am

7 hours and 52 minutes, approximately.

10:39 am

perhaps Haz but she is getting paid for it none the less :)

10:39 am

1 1/2 hours. It's a *phone*!

10:40 am

Only an hour and a half? You can't have grasped all the complexities in that time.

10:40 am

Did they teach you how to transfer calls or is that saved for part 2?

10:40 am

oh yes. call transferring, call parking, call holding, call goodness knows whatting

10:41 am

uh oh sounds like the forgot the actual how to speak to the caller *sheesh*

10:41 am

we buy the latest gadgets to simplify our lives and in so doing make thing so complex we catch ourselves yearning for a good book by a kerosine lamp with a wireless radio playing softly in the background

10:41 am

Telephone manner is awfully important.

10:41 am

we now have the same phones that they use in the fake offices on 24, apparently

10:42 am

I spent a happy hour reading a honest-to-goodness book whilst my car was being MOT'd

10:42 am

Goodness. I'd be impressed if I'd ever watched 24.

10:43 am

so would I lol

10:43 am

Was that a selling point for the system? 'They have these in a fake office'

10:43 am

help w/the ae 5/12 pleas...

10:43 am

please

10:44 am

ae5/12 - ae plus the initials of the American secret service people.

10:44 am

the trainer was very impresse with the fact. they use them on holby city too

10:44 am

ty

10:44 am

my wife is the t.v fiend,i hardly watch it.last thing i watched though was a interesting programme on the diamond trade in india and the sweat shops they use to cut,mount and market the stones

10:44 am

tuff tuff words today!

10:45 am

ty haz

10:45 am

Holby City as well? My goodness, do they perform operations?

10:45 am

You're welcome.

10:45 am

well my mind is going all over the place i must be blind

10:46 am

at least!

10:46 am

Are you still trying to find that ra6 from the bottom? Sometimes it's best to move on and come back to a word. Or you can always look up www.morewords.com.

10:47 am

I kind of lost faith in Holby City after they forced a surgeon to carry out a heart transplant at gunpoint while equipped with a torch, a stanley knife and a kitchen table.

10:47 am

ra + ***f raff + sometimes vowel

10:47 am

goodness! I don't remember that!

10:48 am

Neither do I, she is making it up Ata.

10:48 am

ra , then veer to the right, use the three letters up the right hand side of the grid, finish with y.

10:49 am

Okay, maybe it wasn't a heart transplant, but there was definitely open heart stuff going on and guns being waved about.

10:49 am

she's full of exaggeration today

10:49 am

and giving letters away with gay abandon. I don't know what has come over her!

10:49 am

Moi?

10:49 am

she'll be using !!!!! next

10:50 am

oui, tu!

10:50 am

I know, I can tell you're shocked. But maybe knowing that y is the sometimes vowel will be the clue to cracking ra6.

10:50 am

IF she does that we know it is time for her meds.

10:50 am

"if napoleons field surgeons can do a leg amputation in 17 seconds,anything is possible lol

10:51 am

Is that why he was so short?

10:51 am

They cut off parts of his legs?

10:51 am

It's amazing what you can do with the inside of a loo roll and some sticky backed plastic :)

10:51 am

The things you learn here.

10:51 am

lol,no he is short cause josephine used to keep him in the closet at home

10:51 am

Why, what have you made, FM?

10:52 am

lol don't be obtuse Haz.

10:53 am

but George isn't short and he's kept in a cupboard

10:53 am

It's a big cupboard.

10:54 am

interesting chog.

10:54 am

i need help with the ay 4/7

10:54 am

howdy redshoes

10:54 am

can't stay but I wanted to drop in and say hello.

10:55 am

Hi reds

10:55 am

ay 4/7 is the indian nurse.

10:55 am

ay4/7 - an Indian? nursemaid. ay plus two letters for surprise.

10:55 am

Hello, red.

10:55 am

thank you

10:56 am

Or, to be obtuse, ay plus half a backwards laughing fence.

10:56 am

We don't get enough backwards clues these days.

10:56 am

i wonder why...

10:56 am

lol

10:56 am

8 out of 10 for that one Haz :)

10:56 am

I like diagonal clues

10:56 am

with a twist of multidimensionality

10:57 am

Twisted, in other words.

10:57 am

ata likes things twisted. I think we can all agree to take that one out of context and run with it.

10:57 am

spiralled

10:58 am

like DNA

10:58 am

not doing the grid today but my phantom is ricochet

10:58 am

good phantom.

10:59 am

What a beautiful day to be alive, able to see, able to type, and maybe, maybe find just some of the words to this puzzle. Have a great day!!!!!!!

10:59 am

ok. running away now. Later all. Have fun with the grid!

10:59 am

lol - well there is a happy bunny!

10:59 am

Bye reds

11:00 am

Bye redshoes.

11:00 am

We'll see if you're still as happy once you've worked your way through the grid, donnie.

11:00 am

But it's nice to see someone with optimism and a spring in their step.

11:01 am

maybe I should do the grid

11:01 am

Maybe you should. It might set you up for the rest of the day.

11:01 am

I want to get just a few of them, I have no pretensions of finishing a grid. I get excited if I get 100 words. LOL

11:02 am

but I keep seeing macrame

11:02 am

Back in 5.

11:02 am

You've got the right attitude, donnie, enjoyment is the key.

11:03 am

Right, going to take Spangle out for a quick stroll before teatime. It's cold and frosty here so I'd better wrap up. Toodle-oo!

11:04 am

lucky SPangle!

11:05 am

Just for the heck of it I am working two puzzles at one time. Crazy, but interesting. I don't know if you have been in chi.lexigames.com but they are free and they have a twisted word game. I usually work on these two each morning. Thanks Haz1558.

11:15 am

Ardilla, maybe you are adjusting to a new climate. That happened to my husband when he moved here from Canada.

11:16 am

11:31 am

Licketys list is back but I have to say even with a list it does not flow.

11:31 am

did it vanish?

11:32 am

It hadn't been updated since Saturday for some reason, probably server issues.

12:12 pm

12:12 pm

i think you're harsh on yourself ;)

12:13 pm

yup, always have been:-)

12:13 pm

have just checked the table of rare elements... none that end in nium!

12:14 pm

nm, just figured it out.... tx dorens

12:14 pm

ok. then i guess it isn't rare... but if you enrich it, you might make nuclear weapons

12:14 pm

uraniun

12:14 pm

indeed.. it just happens that there are some elements called "rare elements" :)

12:15 pm

hi crossy

12:15 pm

oop,nm me..need my drugs..back into lurk mode...

12:15 pm

Where is the science museum person when you need them? : D

12:15 pm

i know that much varumba, but my scientific knowledge is so limited, thought that would be one of them!

12:15 pm

hey, i had to google it ;) am not better

12:16 pm

ec 6/30?

12:16 pm

this grid is a killer;((

12:17 pm

oh yes crossy

12:17 pm

ahh a sound bounced off a hill

12:17 pm

and one who does it

12:17 pm

that's ec6/24.. got that one

12:18 pm

like i say,i am drug free,should not be cluing

12:18 pm

You would say a room with the ec's in it sounds ec6/30

12:18 pm

:)

12:18 pm

I've never heard that word before myself.

12:19 pm

ty molly

12:19 pm

no idea...... i know what you mean molly, but what i try i snot working....

12:20 pm

ec 4/6 + he has the k** to my heart

12:20 pm

i tihk i tried all the spelling but that one :( tx

12:21 pm

your misspelling kept you from joining me in the pb crossy

12:22 pm

sorry.. had written that several minutes ago, but then got into a conversation with a colleague... shouldn't have pushed enter cause it makes no sense now.... crossy entered a misspelled element

12:22 pm

i don't get the ec 4/6 cclue

12:22 pm

sorry for stuttering

12:23 pm

There are two ec 4/6's. One is what bounces off a mountain when you yell, one is ec + not she but...

12:23 pm

ec4/6 = what you hear in a valley when someone shouts at one end

12:23 pm

I don't get it, either - that clue would make it ecey and that doesn't work

12:24 pm

that's better

12:24 pm

hi nana!

12:24 pm

no, oyu have to get the ec4/6 first

12:24 pm

hi var!

12:24 pm

ec 4/6 is what bounces off a mountain. Add the k** to my heart to that.

12:24 pm

no the clue says ec4 + last two letters... making it six letters

12:25 pm

oh, ok

12:25 pm

gotcha

12:28 pm

lol,we all have that now?...now...ow...ow..ow...w

12:30 pm

finally - nbt

12:30 pm

12:31 pm

Cross, I was about to just type the word in here and go to the box voluntarily. : D

12:32 pm

:)

12:32 pm

ri 5/12, what you shred a potato with. Add that to another word for auto, then add an e at the end for the 9.

12:32 pm

Add an i for the other nine. Weird ass words.

12:33 pm

tx molly! would hever have found that

12:33 pm

loli am stalled with what you used to shred taters,i use a grater lol

12:34 pm

Apparently they are musical terms. The 8 sounds like a derogatory word for an asian auto.

12:34 pm

Think of what you put Chinese food on Cross.

12:35 pm

a plate? lol..looking

12:35 pm

Tiny, white grains.

12:35 pm

12:46 pm

hi all

12:46 pm

12:47 pm

1:16 pm

cu/6 a dog+atype of song minus last vowel

1:16 pm

The 5/14 is like a cu*** cabinet, but change the last vowel.

1:17 pm

The 6 sounds like a drug, but different spelling.

1:18 pm

i got the first clue, but the second one is still evading my simple mind

1:19 pm

cu + **h team + don't **p me off

1:20 pm

cu/5 a dog +2 vowels

1:20 pm

1:54 pm

Not yet. Sorting out details when we go over in a couple of weeks time. Will be as close to New Year as is feasible due to school term for Meg etc

1:55 pm

Small is relative...its vast compared to where I live lol

1:55 pm

yes - i think most places will feel like a shock after sark

1:55 pm

1:57 pm

he's not old enough to dive round the UK coast yet (don't tell him that either :P)

1:57 pm

He so loved it in Rhodes :) bit warmer there though lol

1:58 pm

much much harder here. he needs to wait a few years to grow a bit stronger. then I happen to know lots of dive people down there ...

1:58 pm

Ah and there appears a monster

4:05 pm

4:05 pm

4:05 pm

(((((carlee)))))

4:08 pm

4:08 pm

hello everyone -- back to tackle this ugly grid again

4:08 pm

Then you need to talk to an attorney. Your daughter should not be being emotionally blackmailed by her Father.

4:08 pm

well..gramma going to talk with her in the next day or so...and gramma talked to my son..and he is ging over there tonight

4:08 pm

only found 41 words

4:09 pm

I would try and get the whole thng in legal hands ASAP. Gramma - you MIL?

4:09 pm

i will talk to attourney too

4:09 pm

And if the ex is so concerned about living alone, he needs a roommate, not his daughter to babysit him.

4:09 pm

Hi Cybernan & Peri

4:09 pm

hi lyn and nan

4:09 pm

yeap..i agree....but she has martyr blood in her ( from her father)

4:09 pm

hi cyber and peri

4:10 pm

Hi peri and nan

4:10 pm

Nip that martyr stuff in the bud. Otherwise, she will live her whole life living for everyone but herself. Not good. ((((Carlee))))

4:10 pm

oh heck..u would think with enable odd spelling it would allow chocra

4:11 pm

chocra?

4:11 pm

4:11 pm

It's the 7 spiritual steps of chocolate Peri. : )

4:11 pm

4:15 pm

4:20 pm

4:20 pm

4:20 pm

4:21 pm

4:21 pm

hi all

4:21 pm

hi ard

4:21 pm

Hi, ardilla

4:22 pm

Carlee, it's time for some deep breaths and a hot bath. The worst thing you can do to yourself is let these emotional theatrics make you physically ill.

4:22 pm

Hi Ardilla. How are you feeling?

4:23 pm

i'm trying molls....i'm trying

4:23 pm

hi ardilla, how are you?

4:23 pm

His crap is his crap. Don't let it bleed into your light circle. And you have a very good light circle.

4:23 pm

just read the chog...i'm so sorry and angry for you carlee

4:24 pm

thanks ard...

4:24 pm

hi ardilla

4:24 pm

i just have to have faith my daughter wises up to his crap..and b...i can get her out via the lawyer

4:24 pm

molly, i can't shake this icky cough...i'm so very tired...like someone stole my energy

4:24 pm

Cyber friends rally around to have Carlee's back. That is pure sisterhood. Amen.

4:25 pm

it is rather....yes....makes me smile..really...

4:25 pm

Ardilla (being a Mom here) have you had a chest x-ray? Are you sure this isn't pneumonia?

4:25 pm

can you use the purple crayon to make him go away...trying to get a wee smile :) big hugs and lots of choclit

4:26 pm

choclit cures most evils

4:26 pm

oh i wish i could ard..i wish i could

4:26 pm

molly? -- haven't been reading the chat -- ty was for the clue

4:26 pm

might be a another hot choclit night

4:26 pm

carleekat, do not ever sink to his level. Always take the high road. Time will tell; you don't have to.

4:27 pm

i wont go low road..i love my daughter too much to do that

4:27 pm

the issue is that my base clinic is so small and it's so hard to get any special services

4:27 pm

They learn it for themselves.

4:28 pm

bbl

4:28 pm

they've listened to my lungs several times and they sound clear

4:28 pm

the medic said the cough is caused by post nasal drip

4:28 pm

How about blood tests Ardilla? Pneumonia would elevate your white cell count. Have they given you antibiotics?

4:29 pm

be strong carlee!

4:29 pm

i miss her so much...we did everything together

4:30 pm

My "Mom" remedy for coughs is a hot bath, and a generous slathering of Vicks Vaporub, and then put on a soft cotton t-shirt before bed. Some people are not inclined to use Vicks though. And I have no idea if you can get it where you are.

4:30 pm

no, he believed that the drip is from the congestion i got from the stomach bug and the dehydration caused by it

4:31 pm

any mentholated cream will work

4:32 pm

vicks is also my 'MOM' remedy for earaches

4:32 pm

Carlee, take some time to process this. And then, DO NOT let this man rob you of your daughter. When I win the lottery I am going to build an island for "overly needy" people and ship them all there to deal with each other.

4:32 pm

i just took a hot bath and am wearing my mink blanket robe...all the stores are closed...i'll try tomorrow

4:33 pm

oh i wont let him

4:33 pm

ard...so u have any hot/cold cream for muscle soreness?

4:33 pm

do u*

4:33 pm

Could I have the stats for the lone R on the bottom row, please?

4:33 pm

Ardilla, I have also heard people swear by rubbing Vicks on the soles of your feet before bed, to ward off night time coughing fits. Sounds weird, but there are those who say it works. Old wives tell the best tales.

4:33 pm

or any mint...

4:34 pm

ra 6/33 Jellen. It's a tough one.

4:34 pm

i'm just so tired of being tired....tomorrow is a holiday and my coworkers invited me to go out with them...but i can't stop coughing (not very attractive in a club) and am too tired anyway

4:34 pm

i think i have some minty tea

4:34 pm

ra 6,33

4:35 pm

being doing several cups of hot lemon tea and honey

4:35 pm

4:35 pm

ca 5/14?

4:35 pm

4:35 pm

and let steep a LONg time to get teh essential oils from the mint into the tea...

4:35 pm

Thanks, looking...

4:35 pm

4:36 pm

4:37 pm

hehehe...i have 22 left and i still dont have blank tile

4:37 pm

well, my choices are mint medley (peppermint/spearmint) or sweet dreams (mint and chamomile)

4:37 pm

Jellen, can you think of a good clue?

4:37 pm

Gram, think of how someone would make air better.

4:38 pm

4:40 pm

maybe

4:41 pm

the sweet dreams has chamomile hibiscus peppermint rose blossoms spearmint spice and orange blossoms

4:41 pm

Soup and crackers, very good. Dark room, not so good. Time to catch up on some Bones or another show you need to watch and get your mind off the idiocy of others.

4:41 pm

and the dual mint one?

4:41 pm

ca 5/12: ca+vowel+abbrev. for my country

4:42 pm

the mint medley has peppermint spearmint rose hips lemon peel and hibiscus

4:42 pm

ty

4:42 pm

that sounds good

4:42 pm

i'd do the mint steeped for a really long time ( 20 + mins) with a saucer over mug to hold all the oils inside the mug

4:42 pm

Tea for everyone!

4:43 pm

crap...the soup is at work too

4:43 pm

brb

4:44 pm

ah do you have hypertension?

7:45 pm

7:45 pm

*makes lil soothing ginger tea*

7:45 pm

ginger tea solves everything

7:45 pm

i have tried decaf green tea, and also hibiscus tea

7:45 pm

i have tried cider vinegar, i have tried flax seed

7:46 pm

green tea has antiwhatevers that ward off cancer

7:46 pm

i have eliminated all sodium, fast food, coffee, soda and refined sugar

7:46 pm

hibiscus is high in vitamin C and there fore wards off colds (more than orange juice)

7:47 pm

now i am trying fish oil caps

7:47 pm

i'm not sure i can take them all the time, that first capsule was like trying to swallow a submarine

7:47 pm

feels like it is stuck in my throat

7:47 pm

garlic has been shown to be of benefit

7:47 pm

i loooooooove garlic

7:47 pm

and exercise

7:48 pm

i like garlic too... i have been doing 30-90 mins of exercise daily.

7:48 pm

* puts on sweats and running shoes*

7:48 pm

i will try anything :)

7:48 pm

well you do have to give exercise time to work -- it is not a magic pill

7:49 pm

the main thing for hypertension is aerobic exercise

7:49 pm

Is it hereditary lil*monkey? Hi all!

7:49 pm

i have stepped up the exercise in the past 2 months, but prior to that i was exercising daily. i work in a PT clinic so i'm very active

7:49 pm

yes, it's hereditary

7:49 pm

but for our bones (being how we are women of a certain age) weight bearing training is important too

7:49 pm

hi champ

7:50 pm

hi champ

7:50 pm

That's the pits. You try and you try, and some things are just going to happen. Hi Jmcnrick!

7:51 pm
