3:04 am

Beautiful icon, Jillibus. In UK, when I was a child, everyone wore a Flanders Poppy for Remembrance Day - I believe they were sold by disabled veterans. And a minute of silence was observed, at 11am on the 11th

3:04 am

hi rubyfoo

3:04 am

hey sprite, ruby :o)

3:05 am

is it a holiday there? Today they have a little ceremony at the local cemetery which is right down our street, commemorating the war dead, surprisingly many from our tiny village, especially from WWI.

3:05 am

hi dfmchfhf

3:05 am

We do that here, Christine.

3:05 am

The mayor(esse) will be there plus a tiny band and some speeches. It is really very touching

3:06 am

Yes, it's a holiday here.

3:06 am

hi sprite ruby

3:06 am

hey ardilla

3:06 am

oh no, I forgot to get me a poppy :o(

3:06 am

We also have our Remembrance Day today and poppies sold for our Returned Soldiers and their families. No holiday here but ceremonies held at War memorials

3:07 am

3:17 am

Initially I thought I could see nothing but then the words started to flow. No doubt things will change again!

3:19 am

3:19 am

The only one I have describes someone who's in a state of agitation.

3:20 am

fl9

3:21 am

I thought I had one that fought with bulls, but it is only an 8.

3:21 am

that's a lovely one, sprite!

3:21 am

And if you take off the first letter of that fl9 you get an l8.

3:22 am

yeah but falling short. Cannot use that R twice :(

3:22 am

bull fighter = to9 ripped + most of love too much

3:33 am

fl7 rhymes with General C***** - Battle of Little Bighorn

3:36 am

3:37 am

3:37 am

3:38 am

I'll share my mackerel and my coffee and cookies, ardilla

3:38 am

babble blindness, ardilla ;) The things we don't see are no less interesting than the things we do spot

3:38 am

only have 4 of them want the stats of them?

3:39 am

ardilla: only if they are biggies... in this case any K word of 6 or biggier?

3:39 am

Must tell you all about Glamorous Fabrics, US online site, that very regularly has upholstery and curtaining fabrics at ridiculous prices (like $13 a yard instead of $170). I have saved at least $2,000 dollars covering a couple of club chairs. Do look if you are in the market

3:40 am

wow lyn, that is amazing

3:40 am

none of mine over 5 letters :(

3:40 am

ok ardilla, thank you anyway :D

3:40 am

Morning zooz. Got the same weather as you today, stinky isn't it :(

4:32 am

Hello, FM!, Not nice at all :-(

4:33 am

Glad I don't have to go out today. Got my car MOT'd yesterday when it was all sunny and blue sky. Today is hibernation I think.

4:34 am

At least we have a meaty grid to gt stuck into :)

4:34 am

Yes you are not wrong, why go out in this weather, when you got a nice sized grid to do.

4:34 am

lol..Snap.

4:35 am

great minds think alike!

4:35 am

:-)

4:37 am

Time for coffee I think, back shortly.

4:37 am

Ok, actualy thats not a bad idea, going to have a cup of tea.

4:47 am

spain is not too bad

good morning, I need a clue for dr5/22, please?

4:57 am

5:03 am

5:03 am

Hi Christine

we have to live up to our 'winging poms' monica don't we lynxxx? *grin* and if we can winge about the weather even better!

5:11 am

*wingeing?

5:11 am

We decided before it was your grid FM, some of your favourite words are here

5:12 am

i thought it was whinging..not sure.

5:12 am

whinging. I think.

5:12 am

Snap..lol

5:13 am

I am enjoying the grid but alas no tenrecs, although I have spotted the god of love. Ah yes that looks right Dachef.

5:13 am

def moniker though - unless you are the ex Pres

5:14 am

*le sigh*

5:14 am

perhaps some Italian er**es

5:15 am

ni 6? can't seem to see it. TIA

5:15 am

yay e's greyed

5:16 am

with s in front it would be what your nose could be called

5:16 am

ni6 - to smell without an es.

5:17 am

another word NOT in the dictionary--sigh--thanks very much!

5:18 am

No news on your visa Dachef?

5:19 am

no, not yet, lynn. Waiting for the US company to get their stuff in order now.

5:20 am

Things are still happening then, good, better than a flat out no

5:21 am

I see there is a babbler in the grid today Merk, haven't seen her for ages.

5:22 am

I haven't seen her for a few months either

5:23 am

Perhaps she is in China again.

5:25 am

BBL dinner is ready

6:28 am

lol Hi ruby.

6:29 am

hello FM

6:30 am

sorry to leave you but am juest heading off for lunch.

6:30 am

bon appetit!

Hallo everyone! (Anyaone!)

6:35 am

{{sally}}

I see it's going to be a day of interesting spelling for me.

6:36 am

but it will probably help you in this grid

lol

Only just started. What's it like so far?

6:37 am

nice but no t as easy as I thought

6:37 am

151 words so far.....

heehee, just tried me 5/14 and it was accepted.

6:38 am

whic, in itself, says a lot

It says a lot that it was one of the first words I noticed :-)

6:42 am

and fu5/20, another word for the same thing (sort of) I am having trouble with my connection

Really? I have a fu 5/20 but didn't know that definition, unless there are two fu words or two me words.

6:43 am

maybe it's fu*ier

6:43 am

manure

6:43 am

but they sound the same

mmm, I have two fu 5/20s but neither of them mean the same as the me 5/14 I have.

6:45 am

there are 2 lovely fe7/44's

6:45 am

Hello again.

Hi Haz.

6:46 am

hello again haz

6:46 am

It's blowing a gale here, definitely wiser to stay in now and babble.

I so want fedora to be there, but it really really isn't.

Same here Haz, gale and torrential winds.

6:48 am

Horrible, isn't it?

6:48 am

it's cold here, and we had your storm yesterday, but today there is sunshine yay

I'm going to buy one of those daylight boxes, meant to do it last week but didn't have time, and have been in Devon at the beginning of the week.

6:50 am

I'll be interested to hear if you find one to be helpful, Sally.

They aren't all that expensive, the portable ones, and someone on Babble was saying she puts hers on in the morning while she Babbles. Apparently just half an hour a day can make a difference (or several hours if it's a big grid of course!).

6:52 am

see you later!

6:52 am

That's a good idea! You can tell people you're having therapy...

6:52 am

*poof*

6:52 am

I have one of those light boxes. I find it most helpful the first hour it turns dark in the evening.

lol Haz. And bye ruby!

6:52 am

Bye, ruby.

Was it you mentioning it here the other day Molly?

6:52 am

I take my afternoon rest with a lamp (reg incandescent) shining in my face. That works, too

6:53 am

Nope not me. I haven't gotten mine out this year. Somehow, I am coping with the early darkness better.

6:53 am

real poof

6:53 am

and hello molly

6:59 am

Hello again, back with cheese and tomato sandwich.

7:00 am

Hello, FM, nice to see you.

Perks up. Hallo FM. Have you made plenty?

7:00 am

of course! Help yourself :)

7:00 am

Hi Haz!

Spreads pickle. mmmm, thanks FM.

Nice bread :-)

7:01 am

and just been out to the garden and put some bread out for the birds as it had stopped raining for 10 nanoseconds.

7:02 am

hello all, all 4 corners grayed :)

Was v pleased to have a bullfinch on my seed feeder on the office window this morning.

7:02 am

Hello, peri.

7:02 am

Lovely Sally. Hi peri.

7:07 am

Way to go Peri. Now make an x through the middle. : D

7:08 am

Hey Molly :)

7:08 am

Heya FM.

7:08 am

You never know, someone might play that way.

7:09 am

lol you are probably right, after josh introduced nbt, nothing would surprise me.

7:09 am

We had Douglas introducing the concept of minimal nbt to the max but I don't think it caught on, even with him.

7:10 am

I was saying earlier to lynxxx that Merk is in the grid and it is some time since we have seen her.

That would be quite a challenge, although I have the lone E , all four corners and just starting on the other U, so I can see a pretty pattern beginning to form.

7:11 am

It's quite a while, you're right, FM. And Flask hasn't chatted for ages either.

7:13 am

Perhaps the winter will bring babblers back to the game.

7:14 am

Maybe they've undergone therapy for the addiction.

hi all

7:15 am

Hello, TO!

7:15 am

helooo TO

Hi TO.

7:16 am

Sally, you can have that last sarnie if you want, I'm full.

Thanks FM! Was just thinking of making myself one so that will save me the trouble. Yours are less fattening than mine, too.

7:18 am

*grin*

oh my, i must change m icon

back

7:22 am

good ik4 TO

7:22 am

There was a lovely story on our local news last night, a 90 year old telling of how he was rescued from occupied France. http://tinyurl.com/3642gkq Needless to say it was very touching to hear a 90 year old recounting his adventures.

is this veteran's day in uk also?

7:23 am

I think they call it Remembrance Day

7:23 am

It's Armistice Day and then we will have Remembrance Sunday at the weekend.

7:24 am

It is Rememberance Day, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

actually, th ephoto of a wounded arrior jogging on artifical applaince is more apropr to current events.

BRB, going to get a drink.

7:25 am

I know. Current tactics mean that there are huge numbers losing limbs.

as well as devastating brain injuries. hey you guys were on the news yesteday - britain, i mean

7:26 am

What was the feature, TO?

7:27 am

She must have missed our headline capers Haz :)

7:28 am

Thank goodness.

riots over tuition increases? give us a sanity check, altho we all know cnn would NEVER misreport

7:28 am

Yes, a protest against raising of university fees seems to have been hijacked.

7:29 am

oh it was disgusting TO. Some doubt surrounds that the ones on the roof were really students.

7:30 am

Sadly, there seems to always be a ready source of members for rent-a-mob.

7:30 am

Did you see the fottage when one of them threw a fire extinguisher off the roof narrowly missing police below :(

so right

ooh there is a rodent in the grid1

7:31 am

***Dang, TO spotted me***

7:31 am

G'd mornin' kids.

7:31 am

You can lu4/9 but you can't hide!

7:32 am

(Going under the desk while water flies)

7:32 am

lol Hey Lori! none of us can lu4 today either.

hehehe hi lori

7:32 am

Nice to see a grid with actual words in it as opposed to yesterdays made up onces.....

7:32 am

it was a hard one.

7:32 am

*once even, see what you amde me do FM?

7:33 am

Or, ones also! ***sigh***

i did not finish. got bored.

7:33 am

I saw that FM was scumming the grid yesterday.

scumming?

7:33 am

Exactly, TO. She knew what she meant.

7:33 am

*sigh* I just could not type the word I wanted.

7:34 am

The rest just had to guess.

ah and we cannot sn5/22 in disdain

7:34 am

Haz you know what I meant ...?

7:34 am

Actually there's a word here that reminds me of one of her declarations - that men stink strangely.

7:34 am

seccumed, secummed, succumed?

7:35 am

Succumbed?

7:35 am

wonder if Xcel ever did find the ri5?

7:35 am

I secund that motion

7:35 am

re5 even

hmmm

7:36 am

ra5 ... Im waterlogged and obviously have no brain le4.

the french poo?

7:36 am

I was trying to get her to see rarify. That's not re5! No wonder she was confused.

7:36 am

good morning everyone;)) my first word to 8/45;)))

Hi everyone

7:37 am

This was yesterday, TO. Xcelle was having a hard time seeing rarify. We had Onassis clues and everything but zippo.

7:37 am

***sits quietly in the glass house, snickering***

as soon as you said that i got it. creepy.

7:37 am

Hello Crossy and Becca.

7:37 am

G'd morning

ty crossy, found that instantly when you said it!

7:38 am

*waves at Becca and crossy but am not talking anymore*

7:38 am

:)) howdy haz,sally

7:38 am

((FM))

see sally? he is sending out some weird vibes!

Oh, so it isn't just my natural brilliance then?

:)

You can all stop laughing now :-)

7:42 am

hard to laugh with duct tape over my mouth :(

brb, phone

Don't tell me your window cleaner has turned nasty, FM.

7:42 am

***applies some Windex to glass house, still snickering***

You really must stop these kinky habits.

7:43 am

Right, I'd better go. Husband is in the kitchen, setting out things and demanding to know why he's doing the work of a woman...

7:43 am

window cleaner in this weather!

Back again. Bye Haz.

all, have you seen the prgram nove "dogs: deocded"?

That's fighting talk Haz.

7:43 am

Bye Haz, say hello Mr Haz.

aw bye haz!

7:44 am

lol, Laters Hazaurus!

7:44 am

if i said that haz,i would get the couch for the night lol

7:44 am

It's a running joke in this house. I'd better go and eat whatever he's created. Toodle-oo!

7:46 am

oh dear, I dont see crossy's to8

7:46 am

HI Annie.

Do you want a clue?

7:47 am

good morning Babblers :)

7:47 am

((annie))

7:47 am

thank you, crossy, Now I see it, hugs back

I thought that's what it was, crossy. Must be spelling it wrong.

7:48 am

the extra a throws people sometimes

7:48 am

hi becca, owl, Lori who is in her glass house, FM, eta

Hi Nono.

7:48 am

etal

Are you using a double R?

7:48 am

and hi to Nono

Ah, that's it - I was using an o instead of a.

7:48 am

no

7:48 am

G'd Morning Annie of Brooklyn!

Not you, crossy, was trying to help Becca.

7:49 am

my bad...time to put kettle on brb

i am sleepy. i was awakened by a dream in which i was being attacjed by pandas.

ferrule

7:50 am

Hi Annie and Nono. I'm going to poof for a while and perhaps take a nap. Happy Babbling.

rest well FM

nice to see you, fm.

Bye FM.

7:50 am

thanks, Owl.

Did they cuddle you to death TO?

Bye FM.

7:51 am

have a good nap, FM

oh no they were quite fierce

7:51 am

*** :( clings to FM's legs, pouting***

it was de5ful

dR5ful

7:53 am

Pandas are cute but they can be nasty..you found the nasties

i was up a ole and they were just snarling

pole

I seem to only be able to see French words today. Not helpful.

7:54 am

Oui

7:54 am

Owl, I hope you snarled back

no. i never fight back.

7:55 am

I think it's the presence of eu and erde

Yes, perhaps that's it Molly.

Those do make two words, Molly. It's the American spelling ones I keep missing today.

bad dreams this week in general

7:56 am

Owl, well, youre with us and safe..thank goodness

Sorry about that TO.

time to get moving or i will waste ANOTHER day off

7:58 am

Owl, get moving..you will shake off your nightmares.

i am going to gather up many things today and just get t

rid of them.

7:59 am

Owl, I did that yesterday and when I came back from the trash I just felt better.

7:59 am

I was lighter.

i need to just clear out things, i feel the need. but it is hard. i;ve lost so much already.

8:01 am

Owl, I wish I was there. I would help you clear things.

lol anbnie. if you werre here you would recoil in horror at the task!

8:02 am

Owl, Little by little it will get done. Just start.

ok ty for the advice

happy babbling

8:04 am

Owl, I wasnt trying to be pushy.

i did not think that

but i could use a good kick

8:05 am

Owl, oh good..*kicks Owl gently in the derriere* (sp?)

:)

i want to get done so i can go up to visit my dad. i dreamed he was dead and i think my subcon is calling to me

8:07 am

Owl, Go up to Jersey...you will feel better once you see your Dad. (even if he hollers at you)

8:07 am

Owl, You are going through

actually i wanted to take him for a day trip, but hard to know if he wants to, it changes

8:08 am

Owl, Try to take it for a day trip. If he doesnt want to go you can spend the day with him.

8:10 am

*him

ok. bye all.

bye TO. And good luck.

8:12 am

Owl, have an easy day..see you tomorrow

idon't know. it;s too easy to babble then not have time for anything else. so i have not been playing

8:15 am

we are all babble addicts

better to be babble addicts than be addicted to other things

8:17 am

that's for sure, nono

8:19 am

nobody needs to try and justify their babble addiction in here,we all understand;)

yes we have our own support group here

8:19 am

but i am not addicted,i have quit many,many times;)

crossy, it is best to just admit your addiction and get on with it

8:21 am

you are qute right of course...crossy dives right into the grid

there ya go, thats much better!

8:38 am

for those of you with e-book readers the free software programme called 'calibre" is the best for file format conversion;))

8:40 am

last one and just not seeing it - clue please for fe 8/60

8:41 am

dont have it, gran

8:41 am

Sorry - just found it

8:41 am

good thing we are all getting used to some form of electronic reading,seems all the big hospitals in our area are removing all forms of books,magazines and toys from their waiting rooms due to their germ carrying/transferance abilities:/

8:41 am

gran, can you clue it and congrats

8:41 am

Howdilly doodilly, Babblers!

8:42 am

howdy judi

morning Judi

8:42 am

hi judi

8:42 am

That is interesting, Crossy. However, everything is being replaced by touch screens. Like there's no germs on those thinks. As if.

crossy that does make sense, thats why i always take a book or magazine of my own when i go for appointments

8:43 am

lol,they are worried about people coughing all over the newspapers and it just being picked up by 300 people as the day goes on...not sure if they tested this all out,but i can see their point

8:44 am

gran - are you still there?

8:44 am

so now i just grab my reader...100 books at my fingertips and the daily papers;)

annie, the fe9 add a vowel in the middle of the iron fe7/44

8:45 am

resembling or containing iron

8:46 am

thanks for the fe clues..but I dont have the fe8, can you clue that one

sorry that was for the fe8 not 9

8:47 am

I now have fe7, containing iron

8:47 am

all i can think of is ferrite;((

8:47 am

thanks nono

a different ending crossy

8:47 am

another clue for it? not getting the iron part....

8:47 am

got it ty

8:48 am

non fe8 metal

8:48 am

got the 8:)

8:48 am

okay, I have the fe 8..thanks nono

yw annie

8:49 am

nm, got it

8:49 am

IS there an fe 9, too?

8:49 am

wtg, nana

i dont think so

8:50 am

k

so far only 9 i have is ae9

8:50 am

There is an Fl9.

8:50 am

I have fl9

8:51 am

5 K's, ugh

8:51 am

241??!!! my god,there cannot be 241 words hiding in this thing!...arrgh!

thanks Cad, will look for that

found it, already had the fl7 it comes from

8:52 am

yummy breakfast food in the grid - good morning everyone

8:52 am

Git the Ae9 -thanks Nono

8:52 am

howdy riverdance

8:53 am

hello crossy

Hi River

8:53 am

help with the ae9 - been looking for a while now

8:53 am

hello Nono

River its a fancy word for a large airport

8:54 am

just change the beginning of the place where the Texans play

8:55 am

ah yes thanks Nono and Cadfan

yw

8:55 am

got the 9 ty cluers

8:57 am

I agree with Judi. Replacing magazines with touch screens is not going to reduce germ transference.

8:57 am

name that proper noun! sauron's domain

8:57 am

Mordor!

8:59 am

Off to work - BBL

bye bye Cad

8:59 am

they will not suppy touch screen reading material..anything that will be read while you wait YOU will have to bring

8:59 am

so it is your stuff and your germs

9:00 am

not stuff laying on the waiting room tables

9:01 am

thats the idea anyways

9:02 am

guess we shall find out one way or another anyways

9:02 am

Good, then I can still bring my real books. I always have a book in the car, just in case.

crossy will they do the same with toys for children in waiting rooms?

9:04 am

yes

9:04 am

It's a nice idea and it will certainly be helpful, but people will still be touching surfaces (counter tops/chair rails).

9:04 am

indeed molly

9:04 am

no more waiting room toys;((

but those surfaces can be disinfected molly

9:06 am

I always brought things for my kids to do when we had to go somewhere that involved waiting.

9:06 am

guess they do not want to pay someone 35 dollars an hour to wander around sick kids 500 rooms disinfecting toys;(

9:06 am

good plan molly

9:07 am

lol! i can remember smoking in emreg!

yep crossy, but those days are long gone

9:08 am

I remember when hospitals had smoking rooms. Now you can't even smoke outside of a hospital.

9:11 am

Nothing quite as stupid as someone in a hospital gown in the middle of winter standing on the boulevard with an IV drip and a cigarette across from the cancer ward at Princess Margaret in Toronto ... I've seen it ...

9:13 am

back for a min

9:13 am

Mind boggling, doseffing. Truly.

9:14 am

dose,when i was in the princess margerette lodge during my treatments,some of the residents used to go out on the patio for a smoke after their radiation treatments

hi Ruby

9:14 am

I swear, God must just bang his head against his desk when he sees sh*t like that.

9:14 am

us chemo heads were to busy throwing up to smoke,but i quit in 2002 the year before my first cancer;/

at least you had the sense to quit before hand crossy! I do feel for those who have cancer and still smoke. With all they have to deal with it would be even harder to quit i qould think

9:17 am

well there's a little alcove created by one of the support butresses on the north side of the building that people like to huddle in and smoke because it's out of site from the staff ... ... but God likes to rain on it ... ... but the little old lady still had to have her smoke ... ... I'll bet she died of pneumonia ... not cancer ...

9:18 am

it was just luck of the draw for me,i could of still been smoking,but the year before i got tired of paying 15 dollars a day for the habit for the wife and i

9:19 am

I had an uncle who continued smoking even after one lung was removed and, of course, died of it eventually

9:19 am

that smoking alcove is still there

9:19 am

but I should talk ... they cut out twenty centimeters of my colon and two thirds of my liver ... but I still drink way too much caffiene

9:19 am

My brother quit before his first round of chemo. He started up again after his 2nd round. That's when I suspect he got the "terminal" diagnosis that he didn't tell us about.

that was my incentive to quit when I did crossy but at a much cheaper time. I quit when they were a $1 a pack. but it was a lot to us at the time

9:20 am

I did everything right and still got cancer....you can't control your genetics

9:20 am

i imagine if i got my "terminal" ticket then i would not worry bout it either

true Ruby

9:20 am

I still haven't found river's breakfast treat. no b as in bacon....

9:20 am

helloooo

9:20 am

hi everyone. may i have help with the single E word on the upper right corner for NBT please?

good morning, everyone ! :-))

9:26 am

(((((diane)))))))))) hello dear

9:26 am

gm diane

hi there ((((((( varrrrrr )))))

ruby :-)

9:27 am

I am being rude to our houseguest but she and my husband are having their martinis and I am tired of their chat!

hi Diane

Var... I gave this link to Branden so maybe we'll see him here. I told him I didn't know whether to thank you, OR blame you for getting me started!! LOL I DO enjoy it !

Hi Nanette :-)

9:28 am

lmao... i blamed bridgie myself ;)

9:29 am

i did tell her, after she got mem here: curse you curse you

9:29 am

i did put the lilnk up on the tters FB page

but a little "thanks" there too, right ?

9:29 am

well ruby just make yourself a martini,and sit right here with us

nobody ever chats there, unless I'm in the wrong TT page

Hi Crossy :-)

9:30 am

(((Ruby))) how are you

9:30 am

i know, so weird that ppl arent'taking the chance to chat again

9:30 am

howdy diane;)

9:30 am

really think it's because we really want a game with a chat.... as in tt

9:30 am

this is full of Fr words which aren't accepted by enable: tordu, mordu, mere, etc

9:30 am

hello river!!! I've missed you

how-deeee !

9:30 am

I don't chat much because I am shy...

9:31 am

*snicker*

9:31 am

hi ruru!

hmmmm

lol, hi ruru!

9:31 am

you are not, ruru!!!!

9:31 am

i sometimes feel like i don't fit in ruru, and stays utterly quiet....

hi ruru

9:31 am

are there really peeps who are afraid to chat?

9:32 am

io don't htink it's abotu being afraid

9:32 am

howdy ruru! crossy is also shy...;))

9:32 am

self-conscious, then.....

9:32 am

i think it's more about feeling intimitaded.... which pof course is to do with how ppl feel abotu themselves, not really realted to whatever is said in the chat

9:32 am

"holding back tear*

9:32 am

yes, very shy crossy!

9:32 am

maybe they have nothing to say?

9:32 am

riiiiiiiight crossy

9:32 am

but say it anyway

or sometimes a language thing too.

9:33 am

you know me ruby,agonizing over everything before i say it....lol

9:33 am

I have, more than once, offended peeps, especially on the subject of sports hahaha

9:33 am

we all know babbleze

9:33 am

im intimidated

9:33 am

Arrgh. Welcome to The Liars Club.

(((((((((( ivesy ))))))))))

9:34 am

eww not that soccer thing again ruby?..i keep telling you that it will never catch on;))

9:34 am

9:34 am

ives?????????? is that you??????????????/

9:34 am

OMG.... brace yourself ppl

9:34 am

ives*

9:34 am

ooooh so glad that you have made it here!!!!

9:35 am

and then, of course, there's the occasional total melt-down

9:35 am

i put the link on FB ages ago and no one but Diane came over!

a bunch of us had the most incredible chat group while playing text twist on several sites. These sites discontinued the chat feature and left us all in the lurch !

9:35 am

this is a rough game

9:35 am

nah

9:35 am

you're only playign against yourself really

9:35 am

grab doesnt even have text twist anymore

9:35 am

oh but so much fun

9:39 am

*gets gas mask ready*

9:39 am

hi molly!

9:39 am

i think they were more interested with making money out of the site molly

9:40 am

no one knows molly .. i heard they lost their java license

9:40 am

oh that's iwin, right?

9:40 am

How does having a chat option interfere with their profit?

9:40 am

i was thinking about gamehouse

9:41 am

oh yes them too var... then we moved to grab i think.

9:41 am

well at gamehouse, i think there was some problems with some ppl getting in just to cause havoc, and so there were some complaints... but am not sure tbh

9:41 am

How does a site lose their Java license?

9:41 am

not sure lol. i read it on the web

9:41 am

a starbucks moves in?

9:41 am

and this convo all started with a site losing a "java" licence and Starbucks moving in... love it

I didn't see what you typed, LOL... no worries, it is a friendly and well supplied pb

thanks Molly, any cheese danish there?

9:48 am

the fe8 is a metal that contains iron similar to fe7 but with an extra vowel

Oh now I see... that was an innocent mistake... part of the conversation. We don't spell it like that in Canada though LOL

9:49 am

diane in SA doughnut = cananda too??

9:49 am

Oy to the fe8. What a word.

yes, ursh

9:50 am

thanks ursh

9:50 am

Americans don't really spell it that way either. The Dunkin place does.

9:56 am

:D

9:58 am

Damn Cross, that's expensive coffee. You have a nice brother.

10:03 am

worked out to about 7 dollars a pound

10:04 am

but this coffee is superlative;)

that's not bad if it's awesome coffee.

how do you prepare crossy? Drip.. press ??

10:06 am

it is so awsome,first time i perked it i guess the smell went all up and down the hall and i had 3 different people knock at the door asking what type it was lol

10:06 am

drip

I still have my 50 year old corning wear percolator... I haul it out every once in a while... still makes good coffee !

10:06 am

those are the best!

10:06 am

Oh, fond memories of corning coffeemakers.

10:07 am

with the metal basket and the glass view port

10:07 am

diane, with the blue cornflower on it or is it the clear glass one?

the glass pyrex ones were also good... not a trace of previous perkings !!

10:07 am

we still use those when camping

with the blue cornflower :-) I have an 8 cupper and a 12 cupper

they were wedding gifts over 50 years ago !

10:08 am

I am from Corning so am more than familiar with all corning ware

10:08 am

have my fair share of it as well

10:09 am

sometimes the simple coffee makers are still the best

well... as a testimonial to Corning... I am still using 2 of the old casserole dishes from wedding gifts... I've broken the lids but found replacement at Salvation Army thrift shop !!

10:10 am

my hubby worked for Corning for 40 some years

10:10 am

my mother in law still has her wedding corning ware from 55 years ago..all of it lol

I think some of the old pieces are worth a little as collector items LOL There was once a recall on one of the old percolators that had the metal band... one of mine is like that, but no problems.

10:11 am

the same coffee cups..everything,used daily

the old corning didn't stain like the newer French white does

10:12 am

Anyone have a clue for the tu5/14?

10:12 am

i would bet almost everyone has some type of corning ware in their cupboards

10:12 am

green with white flowers

be right back

10:13 am

Nm. Just found it. Fish slap.

10:13 am

can u clue judi?

10:13 am

Tu5: cancerous lump

10:14 am

ty... obvious

10:14 am

you mean like Rush Loimbaugh Judi?

10:17 am

crossy, is your moms dinnerware the Centura?

10:18 am

Rush tells it like it is, ruru. *prepares to be pelted with more liberal fruit*

10:19 am

*invites Glen Beck over to Judi's house*

10:19 am

And, it's Limbaugh, btw. Spelling counts (even when Haz isn't here).

10:20 am

I don't mind Glen Beck either. His show is on past my bedtime, though. So, I don't get to see him much. P.S. Sean Hannity is coming for dessert.

10:20 am

aaaaaaaaaaack

10:21 am

can I go on record here?

10:21 am

go for it ruru

10:21 am

*dips tea bag while waiting for ruru*

10:21 am

sean hannity is an absolute moron

10:22 am

*sips tea* You are certainly entitled to your opinion, ruur.

10:22 am

Oops. *ruru* rather.

10:22 am

i've never heard of him

10:23 am

I am sticking with liombaugh

10:23 am

lol!

10:23 am

:)

10:24 am

You might want to call the "Hate Hannity Hotline" then. He plays the messages on air.

10:24 am

I don't hate him at all.. he just is irrational

10:25 am

all three media people mentioned are loud mouthed haters of everything

10:25 am

Liombaugh is at least witty

10:25 am

Sometimes I'd have to agree. When he gets whingy, I turn the channel.

10:26 am

How many words today?

10:26 am

he thinks he's hilarious

10:26 am

did he back that nutcase Christine O'Donnel?

10:27 am

whoever sean hannity is...lol

10:27 am

And sometimes, Rush gets a little to arrogant and I have to turn the channel. He didn't really support O'Donnel. He pretty much maligned the ROC for not supporting her like other R candidates.

10:28 am

*too*

10:29 am

S'okay, Crossy. He's an American talk radio/TV host.

10:29 am

bpy am i glad i only watch discovery channel or movies:)

10:30 am

Believe me, Crossy - you're better off!

10:30 am

he a TV and radiio conservative gas bag crossie

10:30 am

*good natured chuckling*

10:31 am

brb .. have to go burn a flag or something

10:31 am

ying to howard sterns yang? lol

10:31 am

I am so SICK of political discussion right now though. Let's change the subject!

10:32 am

Poor, ruru. When are you moving to Switzerland?

10:32 am

sure lets talk about....mmmm.BACON!

10:32 am

See? You can never go wrong talking about food.

10:33 am

o amde this great bacon /mushroom cream sauce for pasta...mmmm!

10:35 am

mmmm - bacon....

10:35 am

you take 2 cans campells cream of shroom soup,add half the regular ammt of mik,crumbled up crisp bacon,1 finly diced clove of garlic,and a finely diced green onion....

10:35 am

thats easy and sounds great

10:35 am

dash of pepper and oregeno...

10:36 am

and pour over your fav pasta

10:36 am

bet you that would be good on a pot roast too

10:36 am

indeed riverdance;))

10:36 am

Fireworks!!!

10:36 am

yaa for judi!!

10:36 am

congrats Judi

10:37 am

I like cream of mushroom soup and an envelope of dried onion soup on pot roast

10:37 am

Conservative fireworks, of course. *sticks tongue out at ruru and POOFS*

10:37 am

got to love her!!!

10:38 am

paints... bitters on Judi's tongue..lol

10:39 am

Juliets love is in the grid today

10:40 am

the truth is the older I get the more conservative I get.. but I grew up with a distaste for these hard right wingers

10:42 am

thanks for the lover boy river

10:42 am

yw

10:43 am

hey what happened to Min and Boobear - havent seen them in ages on babble

10:44 am

just saw Minv a few days ago.. she comes on in the afternooon here..

10:45 am

I havent been playing in the afternoons - hoped there was nothing wrong

10:46 am

Substitute cream of chicken soup in Cross's recipe and you have a fine sauce for chicken and rice.

10:46 am

..didin't mean to run Judi off... I'll drop the politco stuff..

10:46 am

yum too

10:50 am

sounds good also molly

10:51 am

If I'm feeling adventurous, I will make the white sauce from scratch. That adds a little white wine into the mix.

10:52 am

Speaking of wine, every time I come back to this grid MERLOT screams out at me. : )

10:53 am

Talking about merlot screamig at you makes me think.............sun over the yeard arm-wonder what I can drink!!!!

10:53 am

not a real fan of the grape,but i can talk grain all day long;)

10:54 am

FIREWORKS

10:54 am

Love them white grapes myself...

10:54 am

yaa for riverdance!

10:54 am

I drink wine about once a year. Beer is my drink of choice.

It never ceases to amaze me how words jump out when you just see the 2 letters on his list.

Honestly, I don't remember all this leaf blowing crap from when we were kids. Isn't part of the charm of Autumn walking about in the leaves.

12:00 pm

we now need to organise the dress with all those petticoats

12:00 pm

we used rakes

12:00 pm

And the oversized heels.

12:01 pm

and jumping in big stacks of leaves molly ;)

12:01 pm

i used to have the petticoats when i was young and a skirt out to here

12:01 pm

We also used to rake the leaves into piles and burn them, rather than bag them up.

12:01 pm

Room for one more even if jmc wears petticoats?

12:02 pm

Squeeze on in Haz :)

12:02 pm

i still rake them up and place them at the base of my roses

12:02 pm

The smell of burning leaves is a childhood memory for me. That's why I burn them in the grill in the Fall.

dr 5/22?

12:02 pm

I don't want to tread on any toes.

12:02 pm

the petticoats squish haz -- there is room

12:02 pm

Haz! La Glitteratinellarellatootles!

12:02 pm

I rake them into my garden beds and around the tree out back.

12:08 pm

I think it may, by a freak of something or other, be my fault. But I blame Ata. Entrapment into writing a long word.

12:08 pm

Oh I get blamed if I am here or not jmc.

12:08 pm

but it really is Haz's fault for once :P

hello all

12:09 pm

Hi Barb - racing season over?

12:09 pm

12:09 pm

Hello, TO. You arrive to find me being persecuted.

12:10 pm

now you know how I feel Haz.

12:10 pm

haz screwed up the chog

12:10 pm

Some people have got a widened chat because of me. But I was forced into it by Ata. Egged on by FM, I have no doubt. Look back, she laughed....

o.O

12:10 pm

Ata started it!

12:10 pm

So I see we have English and French synonyms in the grid today.

no...they lead a very leisurely life...I should really find someone to use them more than me

12:11 pm

TO I know which day I am interviewing in Philly now Dec 6

12:11 pm

12:12 pm

i hate re's words

12:12 pm

it is a monday but I will probably drive up Sunday to avoid having to rush Monday morning

12:12 pm

It seems apporpriate (the synonyms) since I had a colonoscopy this morning.

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

Everyone waits for everyone else to say something appropriate.

12:17 pm

lmao ruby

12:17 pm

12:17 pm

She has an inordinate interest in the products of the bathroom, and I'm not talking soap or talcum powder.

12:17 pm

let her try

12:17 pm

The Babbler from Istanbul who never chats is the tu4,9 who lu4,9s

12:19 pm

architectural element, I think

i would laugh at wht but i am still perturbed that he got my hopes up falsely.

12:19 pm

TO, it's like me and Mr Bean. I can't laugh at the man at all.

12:19 pm

oh nuts, that's 36

12:19 pm

re7/36 - send you in a different direction

12:19 pm

mr bean sometimes makes me smile

12:20 pm

12:20 pm

Well done, ruby, you've landed in the pb again. How many times today?

12:20 pm

ty haz

12:20 pm

I wonder if they'll show it here....I don't thik so.

12:20 pm

Clued below, varumba, a re7/32 sends you in a different direction.

12:20 pm

I didn't see the programme, TO.

12:21 pm

sorry, haz, I forgot about that word

12:21 pm

12:24 pm

They're probably all under investigation.

12:25 pm

I'm glad because they're going after Lance in a really nasty way and Contador is so smug!

12:26 pm

Haz dearest, could you email me your ae4 cheesecake recipe again? I have a sudden longing for ae4 products

12:27 pm

I could indeed. I note that Baileys has come up with a new hazelnut version and wondered how that might taste in a cheesecake?

12:28 pm

probably quite nice, though I'm not convinced personally about hazelnuts

this is one of those times i feel the chog is in a foreign language

12:28 pm

what are the stats on the E in the 4th column

12:28 pm

oh we have a capulet in the grid!

12:31 pm

12:31 pm

how did you do?

12:34 pm

both dogs have a lot of vocalizations, totally different from each other, too.

oh wait! appears the whole episode is on line!

12:36 pm

omg i can't believe it took me that long to find the er4! *smacks self with fish*

12:36 pm

nbt

12:36 pm

5/6 right first time

12:36 pm

I got 3 out of 5 right.

yay ata! i think you will like the science

12:36 pm

or 4/5 or 1 wrong anyway

12:37 pm

didn't get the "don't leave me alone" bark. I don't think hobbit does that one

the episode showed dog owners got them right nearly all of the time. i as amazed

was

12:38 pm

Spangle does this weird howl when she thinks she's alone, she doesn't bark.

12:38 pm

so does sister's springer

12:38 pm

hobbit just goes to sleep

springers are a bit unique i am learning

or perhspa quirky is a better word

12:39 pm

It must be a springer thing. Does Hobbit lie with front paws crossed and back legs stretched out?

12:39 pm

willow does. Hobbit tries - she can't get both back legs out straight - she gets 1 straight and the other ends up at right angles

12:40 pm

first te6/21?

12:40 pm

How funny!

12:40 pm

te6/21 - te plus to perform an action again

12:41 pm

tx haz!

12:41 pm

other cocker always could, I think that just shows that one of HObbit's hips is slightly dodgy

12:41 pm

You're welcome, varumba.

well i hope you enjoy the episode at your leisure

12:42 pm

phew! finally donew

12:42 pm

I'll try the quiz in the AM

aw, too bad. ican try mailing the link if interested

12:46 pm

*poof*

12:47 pm

I've tried clicking on a couple of the programmes but they say they're not available in my region due to rights restrictions.

there is an experient in russia where they are domesticating foxes. as they select out agression, the foxes are changing to look more and more like dogs!

12:47 pm

I call it discrimination.

12:48 pm

Yes, I remember seeing a segment about that in another programme, it was fascinating.

wellhaz, i am sure if you donated they would let you watch! :P

12:48 pm

I'm saving up. Daughter to get married off and all that.

especially since all of the domestic secnes were filmed in britain!

so perhaps they are parts of programe produced there

12:50 pm

It's possible. I'm trying to remember what the main thrust of the programme was about, but there was definitely a segment showing how the wolves/foxes were changing in appearance along with the lack of aggression.

12:50 pm

bleh i need to see what time i have to leave for work :-(

12:50 pm

brb

12:50 pm

why would you want to domesticate foxes?

experiment.

12:51 pm

It was an experiment, crossy, to see if aggression could be bred out.

12:51 pm

one could wonder the same thing about dogs on oaccsion!

12:51 pm

ahh

12:51 pm

touche ata

12:52 pm

I wish FM could be here to witness Ata's descent into typonese...

the segment on wolves was amazing. no matter what the researchers did, with pups they raised at a day old, they turned into wolves.

12:52 pm

i'm putting nail varnish on!

12:52 pm

when i am around,no one is immune to typonese

12:53 pm

instead of foxes then,they should start with grizzly bears;)

of course there experiment was not as comprehensive as the one with foxes

perhaps they could try to tame crossy

12:54 pm

Keep up bacon supplies and he's a pussycat.

12:54 pm

day 33: bear taming experiment..today our test subject #6 ate another tester..will try morphine tomorrow....

12:55 pm

Crossy, they want to domesticate foxes so that they can guard the henhouses.

12:55 pm

mmm...bacon

12:55 pm

Day 34, all testers failed to report to work.

12:55 pm

good grief wht

12:57 pm

how about instead making the foxes tame,we enrage the hens..day 3: making progress as hen number 22 killed a fox and ate it....

12:57 pm

razorsharp beaks

12:57 pm

now you ar talking,cyborg beaks

12:57 pm

Hey crossy, I just found the sound of young bacon in the grid.

12:58 pm

what did you think of Apprentice, Haz?

12:58 pm

I became ever more convinced that Alex had escaped from a loony bin.

12:59 pm

absolutely!

12:59 pm

He took himself FAR too seriously and couldn't seem to realise that he was odd.

ok i am going to grab a bite happy babbling all

12:59 pm

Toodle-oo TO!

12:59 pm

when did it becoe de rigeur to bring candidates into the board room because the team leader doesn't rate them overall rather than on the task!

1:00 pm

did anyone make a list??

1:00 pm

i embrace my oddness;))

1:00 pm

I still reckon that Laura has to go soon. Sandeesh is useless as well, but Alex didn't have the wit to realise that Lord Sugar was wanting the chance to get rid of Laura.

1:00 pm

LIckey's list is there, sammysmom.

1:01 pm

al sandeesh can do is look at people with doe eyes

1:01 pm

back

haz ahcek your mail, i am curious how long mail takes to arrive

1:01 pm

doe eyes are good

1:02 pm

*blink blink blink*

1:02 pm

It's come and I've replied.

wow!

1:02 pm

Speed of light, TO. Pity the link didn't work, I reckon they don't think we're worthy.

1:03 pm

lunch is burning. i am watvhing cooking shows and now starving

bbl

1:04 pm

bye TO

1:04 pm

See you later, TO.

1:04 pm

I know what you mean, jmc. So much progress in so little time.

1:05 pm

When I was at school, technology consisted of a pencil sharpener and slide rules for the serious mathematicians.

1:06 pm

Anyway, must head into the kitchen. Still haven't got a robot organised to make food, so it's down to me!

1:06 pm

See you later, bye for now....

1:06 pm

bye dear!

1:06 pm

i used to think it must have been amazing for my grandmother who started her married life riding in buggies and washing clothes down by the creek and ended it with a washer and drier in a two car garage

1:06 pm

bye haz i will keep working on the robot

1:10 pm

1:19 pm

what list

1:20 pm

Ata.... can you explain about the list for Xcelle please ?

1:20 pm

if you go to friends of babble below the tile stats and click on lickety (open in a separate window)

I wondered earlier Xcelle, if you'd found how to use Lickety's list ( guideline to word length and points

1:20 pm

But jmc, are you a lert?

1:20 pm

I don't really use it, but it's a list of first 2 letters

1:21 pm

i keep my eye wide open at the time wht

1:21 pm

there is that smugness again

okay Xcelle.... see under tile stats ?? then friends of babble ... click on lickety's babble clues

1:21 pm

i am on the basic membership

1:21 pm

Goodmorning everyone

I use it when I've exhausted my brain power

it should still be there, X

1:22 pm

hello lynxxx

1:22 pm

i thought it was there anyway

1:22 pm

hi lynxxx

you may have to open a new window, depending on how your computer works

Hi Lynxxx

1:23 pm

Wait, are there two different levels of membership? I'm confused.

1:24 pm

you can play without paying and not get the icon and fireworks molly

1:24 pm

Only one (so far?!)

1:24 pm

thanks got it

1:24 pm

Do you get Lickety if you aren't a paid member?

1:24 pm

after the first what?? two weeks you no longer see title stats

1:24 pm

apparently

1:24 pm

Yes, Lickety does it for love

1:25 pm

that should help excelle

1:25 pm

Morewords is free too

1:26 pm

i almost never use mo**words for some reason

1:26 pm

because you are too smart? I use it all the time

now you know what we mean when we ask for a word thus 5/12 or 6/18 first number is the # of letters in the word.... second is its value. ( 5 letter words get double value.... 6 letter - triple the value... and so on

1:27 pm

lol clearly not for THAT reason

1:27 pm

can someone tell me where to find mo**words please

I have never found any of those places... I see people speaking of Enable and M*** words....

1:27 pm

Just Goodle Mrswhiski

1:28 pm

1:28 pm

1:28 pm

Ata! Hello! How is the job/knee/Hobbit/Sily/life?

I just go with lickety, my monkeys and when exasperated, I ask for help from all these great babbler friends !

1:29 pm

1:29 pm

hi Aloy

1:29 pm

hi snuffy

1:29 pm

lol, hi jmc and lynxxx

1:30 pm

OK - now I need to know what "your monkeys" are Diane?

1:30 pm

fab/fab/fab/fab/fab!

1:30 pm

excellent!!

1:30 pm

we each have 10 little monkeys altough some i suspect only use 2

1:31 pm

I have tapirs instead

1:31 pm

How come I don't have any monkeys - or do I???

1:31 pm

you would!

1:31 pm

lol Ata! do they like bananas too?

1:31 pm

you do mrswhiski

I just see everyone use the term when they scoot in all directions, keeping the letter and point value in mind. I have surprised myself MANY times when a word is accepted !!

1:31 pm

they do indeed!

1:31 pm

they are playing on the keyboard

1:31 pm

where???

1:31 pm

I am having such a hard time following chat today. JMC, joking about stock or not? If not, what stock?

1:32 pm

google stock and not joking

those are "monkeyshines" LOL

1:32 pm

cabbages too

1:33 pm

Ohhhhh - for all of your knowledge of words you guys sure talk funny lol

1:33 pm

ooh, tapir breath!

1:33 pm

that is part of the fun mrswhiski

1:33 pm

I am not going to confuse Diane by telling her Haz gets a kickback from Morewords

1:33 pm

google baby tapirs for utter cuteness!

1:33 pm

she does? cool!

1:33 pm

no, keep that quiet lynxxx

1:33 pm

have you ever seen a tapir in reality. I've seen them in the rain forest in Belize. Ugly

1:34 pm

that may get me to use it

1:34 pm

I'm in negotiations with a2z to see if they'll up their offer.

1:34 pm

I have one localyy!

1:34 pm

do they have cabbage breath, bichon?

1:34 pm

I think you all should come up with your own dictionary for us newbies!

1:34 pm

lol Haz....morning

1:34 pm

In the meantime, use morewords frequently and never forget that paypal is your friend.

1:34 pm

go haz go!

1:34 pm

I didn't get close enough for that. They can be vicious

1:34 pm

lol, hi Haz

1:34 pm

So every time I Google I am supporting your investment? Cool

1:35 pm

Hello, lynxxx and everyone. Just poking my head in while tea is cooking.

1:35 pm

paypal is a ripoff and i refuse to use it

1:35 pm

I get paid every time I introduce someone new to morewords.

1:35 pm

Why is Paypal a ripoff?

1:35 pm

you cook tea? how odd

1:35 pm

My son works at Google, please support his salary

1:35 pm

Haz is veddy veddy rich

1:35 pm

I use PayPal when I sell on EBay. It is expensive.

1:35 pm

lucky son, bichon

1:36 pm

I've never used paypal to sell. We rich people just buy.

1:36 pm

Yes, Google is a great place to work, with many perks, but you work your tushie off

1:36 pm

i sent money to my ord while i was in kenya and they took the money out of my account and held it saying my bank had a hold on it for being suspicious and my bank did not (i asked) and then a month later gave the money back to my account

1:37 pm

so they got the use of my month for a month interest free

now I just "monkeyed" a 4 letter nu word... have never used this word, but it was an alternate spelling of one we use all the time.... I knew it was a 4/6 so not many directions to go

1:37 pm

I'll bet, have to stay ahead of all those trying to outdo Google

1:37 pm

OK Haz - open your wallet - I'm on my way to Morewords!

1:37 pm

Hooray! We will have turkey for Christmas after all!

1:37 pm

should have paid you interest, jmc

1:38 pm

*gives haz her tiny tim cane*

1:38 pm

Yes, I resent the fact that they hold my money while they see if my customer is satisfied with his/her purchase

1:38 pm

my org needed the money

1:39 pm

I still feel happier using it than giving out credit card details to strangers as in e-bay.

1:39 pm

okay i am off to be productive before i have to go to this stupid meeting tonight

1:40 pm

bye jmc

1:40 pm

Go forth, jmc, and produce. Hope the meeting isn't too stupid.

1:40 pm

I sell and buy exclusively with Pay Pal.

1:40 pm

well i am shifting credit card providers for my webpage in teh very near future

1:40 pm

bye, jmc.. g luck w the stoopid meeting

1:40 pm

alas it will be as it is all ministers and professors

1:41 pm

i wonder if i can crochet in the church without looking rude

1:41 pm

lol.. give it a try

1:41 pm

carry a big purse

1:41 pm

Just keep a happy smile on your face and say it's for the orphans.

1:41 pm

Nobody would dare to criticise you after that.

1:42 pm

good thinking, Haz!

1:42 pm

lol i will try that -- when i get bored in meetings my fingernails disappear at an alarming rate

1:43 pm

bye all *poof*

1:43 pm

Bye, jmc.

bye, Jmc

1:45 pm

any progress on the portacabin, haz?

1:46 pm

No, still nothing from the insurance company. We've sent the invoice for the repairs to the ground in the hope that they'll pay out.

Xcelle.... are you still there ?

1:46 pm

We still need to sell the new portacabin to recoup some of the money but trade is very slow.

1:47 pm

done.. can't leave without asking Haz.. what is a portacabin?

1:47 pm

what a palaver!

1:47 pm

I need to go. I will be back for my last 44 later.

1:48 pm

bye, wht..

1:48 pm

A portacabin is a kind of mobile room. They're often used as temporary classrooms, in this case we used one as a clubroom for Riding for the Disabled.

1:48 pm

bye wht

1:48 pm

And there's a long tale involving a crane causing damage and general mayhem ensuing.

1:49 pm

ah so, ty.. and I gather something bad happened to it?

1:49 pm

ooch.. sorry, hope noone was hurt

1:50 pm

Nobody hurt, thank goodness, but a lot of damage caused by the crane coming where it shouldn't have come.

1:50 pm

So now we're in dispute with the crane owner's insurers over who should pay for the damage.

1:51 pm

on the news last night... the city of Akron has twice failed to put a Xmas tree in the town square: the first one fell off the crane and cracked, the second one toppled the crane - the crane operator jumped in the nick of time

1:51 pm

Poor crane man...

1:51 pm

1:51 pm

1:53 pm

1:54 pm

or is there another amusement park near there, the name escapes me

1:54 pm

no.. we used to have a Sea World and Geauga Lake Amusement Park - both are gone now, vddd

1:54 pm

after 3 months ...

1:54 pm

3 months? I suppose they had to do risk assessments galore.

1:54 pm

three months? egads.. surely they were not stuck for three months in the mud

1:54 pm

3 months!

1:54 pm

that's right. I didn't realize they were gone though

1:55 pm

more like they couldnt get them out! they tried and tried ...

1:55 pm

Too bad Jimmy Saville isn't around to fix things any more...

1:55 pm

"sticky" situation!

1:56 pm

5:01 pm

hi kids :)

5:02 pm

yes indeed... thanks. enjoy your thai monkey

5:03 pm

clue for the so 6/18?

5:03 pm

never mind got it

5:04 pm

whew .. was starting to type in a really pathetic clue

5:04 pm

lol :)

5:06 pm

jealous of the chinese restaurant talk .. here (in calgary), even in chinatown you can't find ethnic chinese food, everything is westernized

5:07 pm

i've asked my chinese friends (and thai friends, and vietnamese friends) where they go to eat out (their respective cuisines) .. they don't. they cook at home if they want asian cuisine

5:07 pm

that said, if i made the trip to chinatown, i could buy the ingredients i'd need ... fresh rice noodles, fish, sauces, vegies, etc.

5:08 pm

that's true welki. and it might be more satisfying, though time consuming

5:09 pm

yes, but who wants to cook every night after work? not me, that's for sure. i would love a neighborhood diner, like the greek diners in your neck of the woods, to call 'home' ... none of those here either. a culinary wasteland :)

5:10 pm

i understand. but if i went to greek diners, i'd be spending a lot more on dinner than i do at home

5:10 pm

<--- will just have to travel to indianapolis to have $1.00 chinese food with cos

5:12 pm

well cos was sure right about the list. down to 35 now, much happier

5:12 pm

wtg!

5:12 pm

im not in indianapolis though welki

5:12 pm

you never go to the diners? eek! no roumanian tenderloin? moussaka? cheesecake? now that's a crime when i'm sitting here whining *lol*

5:12 pm

moussaka once in a while, but it's not nearly as good as a good greek restaurant, or my mother's

5:13 pm

don't know why i picked indianapolis ... i like colorado springs, much better! be there in a while :)

5:14 pm

hi everyone

5:14 pm

ok i'll be waiting.. the porch light will be on

5:14 pm

*shrug* all i'm saying is that i'd like a decent take out meal and, if none available, a decent diner to have an occasional bite to eat. i cook moussaka better here at home, too, but don't always want to

5:14 pm

hi annie, how are you?

5:14 pm

hi dorens, I'm doing okay

5:14 pm

come back to nj welki... diners in every town, that's for sure

5:15 pm

can I get a clue for the first in 6/21?

5:15 pm

course that's the only in i don't have annie!

5:15 pm

5:27 pm

5:29 pm

<------- fleur-de-lis....so why isn't fleur accepted?

5:30 pm

Isn't that first 6/21 a weird word? I have this recurring nightmare that people begin speaking in only the weird, obscure Babble words.

5:31 pm

Jmitch, why is me 5/14 accepted and not fleur? I cry foul on that.

5:32 pm

5:59 pm

5:59 pm

O. M. G. stidkid #1 just bought a new wii game and rather than reading the directions on how to play is actually wondering OUT LOUD how to do things and why it isn't working. *shakes head at male stereotype being realized*

6:04 pm

guten abend, sehr liebe inge! wie geht's dir und eurer (spelling?)

6:05 pm

My eyesight is getting worse, hence the spelling errors. But I still do babble almost every day/

6:05 pm

so sorry to hear that, inge. :-(

6:06 pm

(((Carlee)))...girl child does not need to be guilted into anything. She needs to be where SHE wants to be. And I suspect tat is with you. Here's to the tricks you have up your sleeve.

6:06 pm

Or "that" is with you. Inge, sending healing prayers to your eyes dear.

6:07 pm

anyone have de8 hint

6:07 pm

I have macular degeneration. No healing in store.

de 4/8? unable to hear

Inge.... I just read what you wrote... Been doing a lot of reading on the macular situations. Hubby has a macular hole in retina... it seemed to happen after his retina repair just over a month ago... He, however, is fortunate. Surgery should fix it ...

6:10 pm

Inge, my Mom had macular degeneration too. There are many new things out there that you can get that will help with that.

6:10 pm

no de 8

there is no de 8

6:11 pm

oops

6:11 pm

wordgames, where in MI is your home? I am in NOrthville.

6:11 pm

surgery next Friday. He is a little "down" now, but it could be so much worse... that's how I'm trying to get him to look at it

I'm north of you near Milford, inge

6:12 pm

wow, taht is close

I believe we chatted before, inge and you or your husband work at the Matthai Botanical Gardens, right?

6:12 pm

6:12 pm

Diane, prayers out for your husband. And you too.

6:12 pm

pineapple plants!!! :-D

thanks so much (((( stid )))) and Molly :-)

6:13 pm

husband was diagnosed with macular degeneration and is being treated by getting a shot in the eye once a month and a week later for testing. Don't think it's actually a cure but helping a little and not getting any worse

6:13 pm

yes, my husand does their bromeliads every Thuesday am

good luck to everyone... the eyes are SO precious.

6:14 pm

I love bromeliad flowers, they are so pretty...

I've been there a few times over the years but it's been quite a while since the last time. Beautiful place!

6:15 pm

Oh Mary! The very idea of a shot in the eye makes me want to run screaming down the hallway. Blessings to all our Babble Family that are dealing with eye/vision issues.

6:16 pm

I have to tell you the most idiotic thing Customs have banned in Aus

8:50 pm

what's that, herin?

Pop Tarts

8:52 pm

What? That's major sustenance

8:52 pm

that's pretty sad!

8:52 pm

Whatever for. Aussies can't eat fun food

Yup. Meanies. Customs say there is Geletin in it that comes from Cows that could have mad cow.

8:53 pm

Geez, we certainly have Poptarts here.

Some one at Customs should do their research since the gelatin comes from the hide of the cow and is an enzyme thus not made of actually cow bits

We have to have these other pop tart like things and they are not good

8:54 pm

If I come to austrailia, I will sneak some in and bring yo some

8:54 pm

Well, you do have vegamite to make up for it

I love Vegamite. Ad you guys don't have cordial

8:55 pm

Cordial?

8:56 pm

Vegamite, definitely an acquired taste

Um it is like Tang but liquid

8:56 pm

poptarts have gelatine? o.0

8:56 pm

Tang is liquid.

8:56 pm

there is cow gelatin in lots of things

We have toast'ems to replace pop tarts and I am not a fan

hi all, os 6 clue pls?

8:56 pm

As long as there's Nutella

8:57 pm

it is a thickening agent, it's in all kinds of things, even cameral film

Yep DF but it is an enzyme not a blood or body thing. It is a thing under the skin

8:57 pm

it comes from the cow's hoof

No it doesn't Monkey

8:57 pm

os6 alt. spelling of stableman

pty

Actually it can but in most food these days it is actually an enzyme found in the skin

8:58 pm

i'm just quoting Veg Times, herin

re6/3 & 7/44 pls?

8:58 pm

I haven't eaten poptarts for about ten years... always found them overly sweet... :o\

Do you want to have a look a the Email I got

Gelatine is made from collagen, a protein that comes from animals used for food, like beef or pork. The majority of gelatine used in our products is derived from North American pork. The very small amount of beef used to make our gelatine is primarily from the United States, as well as from several other countries in North and South America, specifically, Canada and Brazil. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) carefully supervises the production of gelatine. During the production process, gelatine changes chemically so that the final product is not the same in composition or identity as it was in the original protein form. Because of this, gelatine isn't considered a meat by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). When Kraft utilizes a bovine source for gelatin production, we source only from the hides. The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), the leading global organization on animal health, has indicated that BSE is not a risk in animal hides, or products thereof. If you need more information about Gelatine, I would recommend contacting the CFIA directly at www.cfia.ca

8:59 pm

(monitory chat while eating...back for real in a few minutes)

From Kraft

8:59 pm

yay, I'm not the only one to spell it with an 'e' :oD

I actually asked Kraft when they tried to stop Jello :(

9:01 pm

the production process of gelatine should also denature prions associated with bovine spongiform encephalopy anyway :o/

These days it mostly comes from piggy

you akse dkraft when they tired to stopmjello? as in what date they tried to stop i t- given that they did try to stop it/

Which reminds me I should go and see if my Vegemite is Kosher or not

can anyone pls give me those re clues?

TO. I sent an email to Kraft and said what is your jello stuff. This was in 2007

9:04 pm

hi all! what re's do you need TO?

when did they try to stop jello? and why - i thought they MADE jello?

9:04 pm

Hello Everybody. How are you all today? (And how is the grid?)

I just got irritated and wanted jello. In a cruel twist of fate I can't haev said milk jellos any more

8:58 pm72 Temple Owl re6/3 & 7/44 pls?

No Kraft didn't stop Jello. You missed the bit about Customs Aus being mean and banning it

9:05 pm

hi nef, not too bad but the end was tricky

Then Customs went and got intelligent and allowed it again.

9:05 pm

thanks, beth

9:05 pm

too many re- words today :o(

Hi Beth

Hi nef

I mean Jello Pudding

9:09 pm

Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

I forget about trying to translate. That hurts my head

hi Min. I've been puzzling over how herin could make regular Jello with milk; and that'a not what she meant at all

Can someone in the USA tell me what Emeril the chef means when he says: the water has gone gonzo

I did mean Jello Pudding not Jello Jelly

9:11 pm

not an emeril watcher. when does he use it? either it has evaporated or is boiing like crazy i would think..

um is it a colour thing?

9:11 pm

I have no idea what Emiril means by that; but then again, I've never understood his "BAM!!!" either!

9:12 pm

(back for few minutes)

Nef his stuff is awesome. But I am trying to work that out. Is it a NO thing?

9:12 pm

yay found the re8 :oD

9:12 pm

doesn't Emril's BAM mean something like, "I've add everything I'm going to and there nothing else you can add that will make it better, so there!"

9:14 pm

well done, dfm

9:14 pm

oooh, found an fl7, fl9 combo! :)

Well then what does teh Gonzo thing mean. The only gonzo things I know is the muppets and Fear and Loathing

9:15 pm

2 left now... 6 and a probably associated 7

9:15 pm

git'r dun, dfm!

9:16 pm

i googled emeril gonzo and cant find him sying it anywhere, do you remember a recipe in particular that he used it?

9:16 pm

WTG, dfm. You can do it!

9:17 pm

I am stopping at 156 words and 1997 points.Bye to all

9:17 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

9:17 pm

good night, Min!

9:17 pm

9:21 pm

1/2-way...off to list I go (back after I make my first pass)

is it me or is this hard

9:22 pm

:o( my food caught fire while I was looking for re- words...

9:22 pm

it's hard, herin

Carefull DF

9:22 pm

yikes, dfm...not good!

9:23 pm

ae9???

9:23 pm

what were you cooking? (sounds like me in the kitchen)

9:24 pm

recreational hazards of babbling

9:24 pm

Place to land and stow your planes, pini

9:24 pm

ae4+ kind of camel or date *****dary

9:24 pm

<-- avg cook but have been known to actually burn water...and, yes, it can be done!

9:25 pm

honey garlic chicken wings... without the garlic (I left it on the table instead of in the pot), and now without the sauce (it sort of burned away :o/)

Pini you can't but you can boil it dry and kill the pot

9:26 pm

Water is one of the few things that, chemically, cannot combust!

9:26 pm

and when you forget that you are boiling eggs and the pot goes dry; the eggs just *might* end up opn the ceiling!

9:26 pm

well, it sure tasted like it!!

9:26 pm

oh, how fun, nef! (NOT!)

My mum did that

9:27 pm

<-- hasn't bought a meal since 2008, except when going out with friends/family/colleagues

9:27 pm

wow, impressive

9:27 pm

I did it too. My son boiled eggs dry and the copper-bottomed pan started to melt!

blinks that is impressive

9:28 pm

<-- also doesn't use salt in his cooking, which might explain why he hates bought food

9:29 pm

(he and his wife were arguing at the time; *that* didn't help at ALL that night!

I very rarely buy cakes and biscuits and make my own

9:30 pm

* going back to first pass thru *

I am actually on my second pass. First with my brain second with morewords

9:31 pm

rear

9:31 pm

hi everyone! how's everyone doing?

9:31 pm

*reluctantly opens up morewords for the final two re- words...*

9:31 pm

no, don't do it!!!

Hi LB under the Aircon

9:31 pm

hi lbd ;)

9:32 pm

here to clue if wanted or needed

9:32 pm

OOOPS!! Off to PB box I go!

THat isn't a word NEf

9:32 pm

hi herin, hi pini

9:32 pm

I'm here well after the finsih but am wondering how you forget you're boiling eggs? Especially if they are the delicious Burford Browns that I have.

9:32 pm

Thanks; herin!

HI Jac

9:33 pm

re6/24? (definition preferred :o) )

9:34 pm

ld - I really do think that we should not define our lives by the criteria if we're wanted or needed on Babble. LOL

9:34 pm

Jac, it's easy! I used to rush around getting ready for work and try fixing something quick for supper at the same time (I always took my own food)

9:34 pm

A re6.24 occurs when the body experiences a negative g-force sufficient to cause a blood flow from the lower parts of the body to the head. It is the inverse effect of a greyout or brownout, where blood flows away from the head to the lower parts of the body.

9:35 pm

re6/24 = crimson colour + not in.

ok THAT NI 6 is stupid

9:35 pm

yay thanks lbd :o) got it at blood flow

9:36 pm

re7 = the verb form or plural.

9:36 pm

I got the ni6 when I was randomly typing >.>

I found it via more words

9:37 pm

yay imaginary fireworks

YAH DF

9:37 pm

* pause * WTG DFM! * unpause *

9:37 pm

YAY, dfm!!! WTG!!!

9:38 pm

So, does anyone need any clues before I try to go to The Land of Nod yet again?

I am right. Thank you

9:39 pm

whooo hooooo dfm!!

Ok I suppose I ahve to go to the washing line since I have no slave to help me

9:40 pm

o.o this is weird... I just pulled out a piece of scrap paper and it has a Babble grid on it.

9:40 pm

Herin - do you not have the man with white linen girding his loins that you can whip so he does what you ask?

9:41 pm

well...whoopee ty yi yo....get along little doggies..fireworks!

Nope. I broke that one.

9:41 pm

Coincidentally, I have the same Archived grid on-screen

9:41 pm

dfmc - Babble whacks you in the face yet again! lol

Yah MP

9:41 pm

whoooo hooooo MP!!

9:41 pm

YAY, MPittore!!!! WTG!!!

9:42 pm

Well done, MP.

9:42 pm

ya' gotta love the chat...it's all about the chat!!!

9:43 pm

Wondering what Herin's 'broken' one would say, since she's still with him.

9:43 pm

I'm looking for when I signed up instead of doing Babble on the bus manually... :o/ (that was the grid for 12 Dec 2003) (wow that was ages ago)

I could actually walk to the Masters Tornoment up the road.

9:43 pm

need any clues out there in babbleland????

Awww. The Broken one is at work Sick so being broken is appropriate at the moment

9:44 pm

looks left...looks right....

9:44 pm

and I have a small stack of really old Babble grids from way back then :oO

9:44 pm

looks up...looks down...

9:45 pm

Babble 'officially' becan on the net on 30th of a ,pmth 2003.

9:45 pm

looks behind....hey...does this make my bum look fat????

right going to go poke the laundry back soon

9:46 pm

MPT - sorry - it does! Hold your sholders back and stick yoru chest out, and walk tall.

9:46 pm

MP You're missing a few directions! :oO

9:47 pm

adjusting shoulders....chest is sticking out...walking tall...gosh I feel......BLONDE!

9:48 pm

If Herin thinks 'poking' laundry is fun, I must go to bed and cuddle up to my Beloved, snoring/farting/ grinding his teeth, whatever!

9:48 pm

rats df...ya got me...looks over, looks under....looks below....

9:48 pm

dfm, you're gonna have MP spinning circles! lol

9:48 pm

LOL jac....

9:48 pm

MPT - think like a brunette and you won't go far wrong.

9:49 pm

dfm, if you've been Babbling that long; you should really join up and go pro!

9:49 pm

whoa...getting dizzy...not good for a blonde..*giggle*

9:50 pm

I need a credit card first! >.< (or a Paypal account. Or something...)

9:50 pm

How long does it normally take to get a credit card? :o(

9:50 pm

thinking.....(not easy for a blonde!)

9:51 pm

hope I don't offend anyone...I'm just having fun!

9:51 pm

the world needs blondes also:)

9:52 pm

ty crosshair....you are right we are all needed!

9:52 pm

I caught sound of a TV programme about eastender earlier. not a soap I've ever watched because it's so confrontational and depressing. However, this was a line from a man's will to his wife. 'To my wife, I leave my wedding ring, so she can sell it and get her roots done, and carry on being the most dumb blonde I've ever known.' Classic! LOL

9:52 pm

ROFL jac!

9:53 pm

MPt - it was good, wasn't it? LOL

9:53 pm

we never said as guys that we needed all of them to be able to think...lol

9:54 pm

so apparently I *didn't* join before 2004. :o/ oh joy, 2000 more archives through which to look...

9:54 pm

I'm dumb as a fox! ;o)

9:55 pm

excuse grammar....left out a word *as*

9:56 pm

lol,grammer,and real words have very little to do with babble;)

9:56 pm

crosshair...men come in blonde also...wink, wink!

9:56 pm

we do indeed

9:57 pm

I'm an intelligent brunette with red bits that make me more adventurous

9:57 pm

in fact...I married quite a wonderful one....sometimes he's more wonderful when he's sleeping!

9:57 pm

just joking there!

9:57 pm

LOL MPT!

9:57 pm

we are not above a sugar momma to be a boy toy for;)

9:58 pm

LOL crosshair

9:58 pm

Don't talk to me about blond men _ I married one.

9:59 pm

Once he'd been found out for his wanderings, me and the two kids spend a decade togther.

9:59 pm

ahhh jac...life can be wonderful with the right one...and horrible with the wrong one....been down both those roads....have the t-shirt!

10:00 pm

I God! I'm starting to sound like Dexter's wife Rita now.

10:00 pm

to be honest i have brown hair and hazel eyes am 6 ft tall and a tad hefty

10:00 pm

and now that I think of it...all three of them have been blondes!!!!

10:01 pm

I wish I hadn't said how much the sound of her voice and what she was saying annoyed me! But I'm dark-haired, like Dexter.

10:01 pm

Dexter didn't ddo her in, though!

10:02 pm

*do

10:03 pm

Crossy , you're my kind of guy, and you like bacon.

10:03 pm

crosshair...my blonde has some gray in it that my magic hairdresser turns back into blonde so my roots sometimes show a bit of blonde/gray and blues eyes and I'm fluffy on the outside!

10:04 pm

I'mgoing to have to find some way to stop my tall dark guy with blue eyes from eating all of that bread abd fat, though. I can see he's heading for a heart attack.

10:05 pm

yep I need to get a diet on this winter so when we go to florida in march i don't get mistaken for a manatee!!!

10:07 pm

MP

10:08 pm

yes?????

That isn't a nice thing to say about yourself

10:11 pm

I'm not putting myself down but I do need to shed some of these pounds for my wellbeing...don't want to get any diseases...I actually like myself but I don't like my weight so there is a voluptous bombshell just dying to bust out of this body and drive my husband crazy!!!

I am me shapped though not terribly happy with it I am who I am

10:13 pm

Of to bed now, to moan at Beloved when his alarm goeds off and when he snores or farts.

Night Jac

10:13 pm

Me too herein...but I have a goal to at least live to 100 so it would be good to weigh a bit less...I want to be the best me I can be!

10:13 pm

Sorry about the spelling, lack of,LOL.

10:14 pm

no worry jac....it's ok anyway on the chat *smile*

10:15 pm

jac...if you have a recorder you should tape beloved and play it at breakfast...

10:15 pm

of course I think men are proud of their body noises!

I am watching Rocky Horror :D

10:16 pm

I love Rocky Horror...great music...

10:16 pm

saw it recently myself on the tube

We drove back from my friends farm listening to the sound track

10:17 pm

I'll bet it made the drive go by quickly

The drive was long enough to listen to the whole thing

10:18 pm

....Man...haha...man! Love that part!

10:18 pm

I'll bet it was a fun show to act in...

Tim CUrry is amazing

10:19 pm

yes!

We did the play at school and we had a girl that was a proper Magenta.

10:19 pm

oh you must be waaaay younger than me...

I am 33

I wasn't in it as I wasn't popular enough

10:20 pm

yep...I'm 62...

10:21 pm

so sad herin...that popularity stuff stinks....we had some of that but not much and I was liked by both sets of people so I was lucky!

I do have a male friend that did Rocky (looked better in boots than I do)

10:24 pm

sometimes I watch RuPaul's drag race show...not sure if you have him there and some of those queens look absolutely fabulous and can strut better than most women!

10:26 pm

I'm not judgmental so it is interesting to me to see.

10:26 pm

Life is made up of so many interesting points of view.

It really isn't fair when a guy looks better in a dress. ONe of my old drag queen friends taught me how to do make up

10:31 pm

I think it's ok if that's what they want then why not? It's worse for someone to have to hide their feelings and who they are like they should be ashamed...that has damaged so many lives...as long as anyone isn't hurting someone or doing illegal bad things than what the heck let life go on I say. I love playing with makeup...I keep up with the new things or else life will pass me by and they will start calling me an old geiser!

I want Tim Currys shoes

10:33 pm

yes...cool shoes...I would topple over!!!!

10:36 pm

I broke my tibial plateau (knee parts) skiing back in 1984 so I don't do very much of a heel anymore....but I used to be thinner and I used to flit around in tall heels and all....I danced myself silly in them....

Yeoch.

10:38 pm

Oh so much fun....I danced Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun....I love to dance...that's how I met my husband...

Awww.,

I can't wear heels anymore as my right knee doesn't let signals go to my feet sometimes so I would go arse over

10:39 pm

Yep...he's the man of my dreams...at least most of the time!

10:40 pm

did someone mention rocky horror?...luv it!

10:41 pm

Yep we both have to have our feet firmly on the ground now...not a bad thing I believe!

10:43 pm

well I need to fold my laundry...so I'd better run...so nice chatting with you...I'm smiling hope you are also...see you in the grid again...throws good wishes to all and sparkley things...niters...poofy!

any cluers still up and about ? I've hit a wall with 6 remaining .

10:46 pm

* tripping back into grid...have finished 2 list pass thrus and am now down to my last 9 * I can't believe how many fishies I missed...sigh :(
