12:24 am

osteite is word in French and Italian

e's are: ei 5; en 5; ep 4, 5, 6; et 5; ey 5, 5

12:24 am

boy, every good tea maker knows you have to hotten the pot first.

i think osteites is a plural of osteitis

12:25 am

pr7 x 4

12:26 am

osteitis has no plural form, other than -es accordng to the nurse sitting next to me

12:26 am

Ah...thank you, Tom. ;)

12:26 am

crashing here -- good night :)

12:27 am

Indeed, Jill. ;)

12:27 am

g'night nan

well, i checked morewords and it's there. maybe there's some other usage for osteites that i don't know about

12:27 am

And tea must be made on the boil...

12:27 am

Hmmm. Interesting...

12:27 am

google suggest misspelling of osteitis

can't get to both esses with that word in this grid

12:28 am

indeed, JC ;)

12:28 am

i thought one lanced boils, rather than making tea upon them ;)

12:29 am

hi Ruby

only have a few minutes to jump in

2:26 am

{{flosey and lynxx}} hello FM

2:26 am

it is very cold this AM after high winds yesterday

2:27 am

we had high winds last night ruby, power was off for just over 3 hours - included most of Vancouver Island

2:28 am

Morning ruby

2:28 am

BBS Strew is insisting we play

2:28 am

Stew too

2:29 am

lol TTFN lynxxx

2:29 am

Do you have back up ower flosey?

2:30 am

*power even!

2:30 am

yes FM, we have a generator but don't bother with it for short periods

2:31 am

must be good to know it is there for severe conditions tho'.

2:31 am

I was alone, so it was strange just sitting in the dark with a couple of candles - blew them out in case I fell asleep!

2:32 am

yes, we've only had to use it once or twice

2:32 am

fortunately, our power lines are underground, so whenthere are freakishly high winds, we still keep the power. It does go out, sometimes, for no apparent reason. It must be a French company.....lol

2:33 am

I love candle light, will quite often have several lit on the desk rather than use electric (in the winter). lol ruby.

2:34 am

oh lucky, ruby, ours aren't - hubby was at the bridge club and said there were signs where trees had fallen across the main road - road crews are very quick to keep the road clear though

2:34 am

Back. He was happy with a quick brush. Greyhounds lose so much hair!

2:35 am

really, lyn, but it's quite short isn't it?

2:36 am

Yes. But it gets everywhere though - not as bad now as when we first got him (they get heavier coats when in kennels)

2:39 am

guess they don't get out to run enough when in kennels?

2:41 am

Having a hard time believing that there is an 11 (never mind a 9 and 10) in this grid today.

2:41 am

I am sure he used to get to run more when he was in kennels...we have a small house on a small block - he can't get much speed up here!

2:41 am

it's 5, 8, 9, 10, 11

2:41 am

bet it is a ph word

2:42 am

no, fr

2:42 am

on the other hand he could be thinking 'I love this slower pace of life' :)

2:42 am

Ah thanks flosey, haven't got to the f's yet but will remember that.

2:43 am

for sure, if he's getting older

2:43 am

should say, as he gets older!

2:43 am

I am (house) painting at the moment. After his morning walk yesterday, he made himself a lovely 'nest' in our bed and stayed there all day

2:44 am

Does he have the occasional moments of madness lynxxx?

2:44 am

just keeping it warm for you lyn

2:44 am

They are extremely lazy Flosey - couch potatoes

2:44 am

ah, seems surprising!

2:45 am

Usually screams around the house in the afternoon for a few minutes

2:46 am

lol that was what I was imagining.

2:46 am

in Ontario, they had a Greyhound Coach Line and a running greyhound painted on side of all busses

2:47 am

They recommend a brisk 30 minutes walk once a day. If you want them to run with you (certainly not me!) you have to build them up to it. They are sprinters not really runners

2:47 am

interesting, lyn

2:48 am

I comnb Ruby most days and get incredible quantities of fur our of her, enough to knit a small dog! And she is still messy

2:48 am

when my husband was a teenager, he worked at the greyhound track in Miami and didn't like the dogs as they became so neurotic from never catching the "rabbit" and being muzzled the whole race

2:49 am

Good evening Flosey! Thanks for the"f" words. Now I can go to bed -- 24 left for tomorrow. Goodnight all!

2:49 am

that would be very frustrating for them

2:49 am

hi there saanichcat

2:49 am

well done then, I still have 40 to go

2:50 am

wow Fosey, you'll be finished tonight!

2:50 am

I am sadly lacking in the word department due to chatting, so am going to dive in for a while.

2:50 am

and they were very testy!

2:51 am

Flosey, I mean. How's your power?

2:51 am

There was a race here this last weekend. The lead greyhound took off in another direction after a (stupid stupid) live rabbit ran across the track

2:51 am

you always have a way with words FM, which I sorely lack!

2:51 am

hi Sannichat

2:51 am

oh, it was only off for just over 3 hours last night Saanichcat, how about you?

2:51 am

no wild rabbits in Miami Beach!

2:51 am

Heya Lynxx!

2:52 am

alligators eat them!?

2:52 am

:) ruby and Hi saanichat

2:52 am

no alligators on the beach, either! hahah

2:52 am

Flosey, not sure, we had a so'wester which really does me in - filled the bathtub and went to bed with a lantern and a book.

2:53 am

Hello FM!

2:54 am

For those nor in remote areas, the water won't work either as the well is electric dependent

2:54 am

so the full bathtub is so you have enough water to flush

2:54 am

we're on well, so depend on the power

2:55 am

and always have tub full when we have high winds

2:55 am

How much does it cost to dig a well?

2:56 am

no idea now lyn, that was done before we moved here - builder looked after it

2:56 am

Lynxx- depends how deep. Genarally about 3-6- grand complete with pump, pressure tank etc.

2:57 am

I see. Do you deal with your own waste water and sewerage individually as well?

2:57 am

our well is artesian

2:57 am

yes, we have septic systems

2:59 am

The water is always clean cold and pure. And our own water treatment plant aka septic is great.

3:00 am

So how do you make use of the artesian well, is it about the procedure? Curiousity - I don't know anyone but you who has one.

3:00 am

TY I find all that interesting. Things that we take for granted here - even though we are a large country. We have septic in outlying country areas but I don't know of anyone with their own well.

3:00 am

yes, the newer septic systems are much improved - some friends seem to have theirs pumped out a lot

3:01 am

small village has local water and sewerage - we're in rural area

3:02 am

in my outlying area everyone has well and septic, thousands of us

3:02 am

many of the French locals steal the water coming down from the mountains by diverting the little streams that run through their properties. I can understand it, as water is very expensive here, but it's still illegal

3:02 am

there again, Saanich, we weren't here at the time, I believe they drill until they hit a seam

3:03 am

we are on a rock!!

3:03 am

I mean, our Island is one huge rock

3:04 am

The downside to this independence is that the water is very very hard. Things like kettles, dishwashers, hot water tanks get ruined. I use gallons of vinegar!

3:04 am

I dowsed my own well!

3:05 am

So interesting as Lynxxx says we do take so much for granted.

3:05 am

wow!

3:05 am

we have filtration system - several tanks

3:06 am

That is a gift saani, Mum had to get a dowser in and he found a spring in the basement - which explained why it kept flooding

3:06 am

we have manganese in the water and before we had the filtration system installed, you could see black lining the toilet tanks, so imagine what it was doing to the pipes!

3:06 am

Flosey I would do that too if it wernt so expensive. I also have an underground stream. Apparently it is wise to register the.

3:07 am

took a while to get it flushed out, but now everything is clean

3:07 am

yay got the f words - thanks flosey.

3:07 am

Thanks FM. I too have helped a lot of people. It is a gift for which I am thankful.

3:07 am

are you talking about house pipes or peoples pipes Flosey?

3:08 am

you really have to watch these guys, we got taken (being newcomers) and was later told that the plumber who did the work use to brag about gouging the newbies

3:08 am

hahahaha!

3:08 am

lol, house pipes

3:09 am

Right on Flosey, ESPECIALLY with the new septic rules.

3:09 am

It doesn't pay to have a home built when you live 2000 or so miles away

3:10 am

You were game

3:10 am

so true lyn

3:13 am

also, a good idea to have a written contract - not just a hand-shake

3:13 am

ah, the penny just dropped for me with the f too. TY Flosey

3:13 am

wtg

3:14 am

Topical for over here lynxxx but not for you going into summer or is it still spring?

3:16 am

Going into Summer in a couple of weeks...Spring has been pretty cool - with lots of rain! Gardens looks great and our dams are over half full. The drought has really broken

3:16 am

and the fr8 is what happens to my hair in the misty moisty foggy weather we have had recently.

3:17 am

There is no zzeds here though

3:17 am

That is good news re the dams, hope it doesn't get too dry during the summer.

3:17 am

no

3:17 am

thanks FM!

3:20 am

yw :)

3:21 am

Need to go and find myself some food. Hate it when I am by myself! BBL

3:22 am

down to 25 but very sleepy, be back in the morning

3:22 am

TTFN lynxxx, Im going to have to face up to the working day soon :)

3:22 am

goodnight all

3:22 am

Bye flosey et al.

3:22 am

sweet dream Flosey! I'm gone too. Bye.

3:23 am

now 20, poof

3:57 am

back, 58 so far

3:59 am

Just came back too Ruby

3:59 am

our water is extremely hard, too. Maybe that is why everything wears out

4:00 am

like your washing machine?

4:00 am

uh huh

4:00 am

I still didn't get a new one, just have to go in and switch the settings twice each load

4:01 am

I think, too, when my son was here, he and his wife overloaded the machine

4:01 am

EXPERTS!

4:01 am

lol

4:02 am

I think I used a grid word before without realizing it was in the grid, te4

4:15 am

phantom: sobrieties

4:16 am

My phantom is :Sorbet

4:16 am

Hello, All :-)

4:16 am

Hiya Zooz

4:18 am

back again, doorbell this time!

4:18 am

Although if you take away the first letter & change a letter in my phantom, you have a word :-)

4:18 am

what has happened with the court case Ruby?

4:19 am

and the plural, zzoozz!

4:19 am

Yep :-)

4:19 am

and take away 2 letters from that and add a 'martini glass'

4:19 am

first decision will happen on Friday. That is the criminal part against the dog owner. Then, my husband needs to be evaluated by a court-appointed MD to determine how much we will ask for in damages.

4:19 am

Thank you for asking, this has been a terrible, bleak time

4:20 am

It doesn't sound like he is getting any better? not even with v isitors?

4:20 am

I should know the glass since husband has a martini every day! putting those drunk monkeys to work

4:21 am

no, he has a lot of pain in his back where the dog took him down. The arm has healed surprisingly well, however.

4:21 am

but are his wounds healed?

4:21 am

he remains severely traumatized.

4:21 am

and he is much diminished....

4:22 am

famous, though, he's been in both local papers, not by name, but by village

4:23 am

I realise he is old but it is bad to hear that he has gone down so quickly - an extra burden you don't need either.

4:24 am

I feel very sorry for him, but he still irritates me! Bad Ruby

4:24 am

It is understandable Ruby

4:25 am

Can`t believe there are 15 `P`s

4:25 am

But I think I should be nicer! It is just very hard

4:25 am

no, zzoozz, you are making that up! hahah

4:26 am

I only have three of them..lol

4:26 am

Dear Ruby - He probably doesn't even n otice your irratability...he seems to be very wrapped up with his own needs

4:26 am

Hello, Herin :-)

4:26 am

hi Infernal

4:26 am

I have 5, but still no NBT!

4:26 am

{{herin}}

HOwdy

4:27 am

that is kind of you lynxx, but I think most wives would be more understanding. He is also getting very thin, is vain about being the same weight he was at 20, but I think he doesn't eat enough

(((((((ruby))))))))0

4:27 am

he weighs less than 135! and he isn't short

4:28 am

how are you, herin?

done and done

4:29 am

did I tell you that his MD said that I should put sosme of autistic Max's Prozac into his food?

4:30 am

wow!

4:30 am

I thought that was mean, but funny!\

4:31 am

hello all! I've just found the 9, 10 and 11 (smug proud smile)

4:31 am

must go and make him his Campari now. See you after lunch

4:31 am

4:55 am

4:55 am

pt would be the 11 wouldn't it

4:56 am

Not listed yet, Lile, which ones are they?

4:57 am

nearly zooz... no wonder you walk into doorways! ;)

4:58 am

lol thanks.

4:58 am

never apologise for dropping word candy for fellow sojorners on the long and twisty path to gridmanship

4:58 am

I have the e from to top row, gort and that's the only one that could possible start with ei. And I have all the d's but no do6

4:58 am

fair enough, that makes sense

4:58 am

there is an ei5 from bottom e

4:59 am

aha! well spotted Chris! (and hello). hmmmm will have to hunt some more. I have 5 e's to find off that one.

4:59 am

yay, thanks for that ei5, Chris :-)

5:00 am

so I may have led you all up the garden path. which is weed free I may add.

5:00 am

5:21 am

5:30 am

geez, i will never get that.

5:31 am

hump letter *smacks gort*!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:31 am

sounds like "try 'n s"tay with me, zoos

5:31 am

brilliantly dazzling clue gort definitely - it's given me fireworks

5:31 am

i mean hump as in camel not as in how camels make other camels

5:31 am

WTG Lile!!

5:31 am

LOL, Gort

5:31 am

LOL fm and yeeha lile

5:32 am

5:32 am

lol yeah right : Congrats Lile!

5:32 am

FM, how do you get the gap between comment lines.

5:32 am

oh well as the old expression goes fm, whatever floats your boat or whatever humps your camel (please God may that only be another camel)

5:32 am

YaY, thanks, gort, got it!

5:33 am

LOL!

5:33 am

well done zooz, you're doing well to follow my convoluted camel train of thought

5:33 am

gort it is good to see you back :)

5:33 am

good to be seen

5:34 am

starts singing *Midnight at the Oasis*

5:35 am

(showing my age too).

5:35 am

Maria Muldaur

5:36 am

sorry fm, it's probably really witty to be singing midnight at the oasis, but i've never heard of it (yes, i've been living under a rock, at least it's shaded from the hot aussie sun)

5:37 am

ahh zooz knows it.

5:37 am

http://tinyurl.com/34hdhwu

5:38 am

there you go, gort.

5:38 am

* gort braves world above rock to google muldaur and oasis*

5:39 am

another blast from the past. Local radio is doing an 80's retro play next weekend - can't wait.

5:39 am

I kinda liked the 80`s music.

5:40 am

maria sings sweetly, but she's far too fond of that soporific camel for my taste *gort ducks under rock again*

5:40 am

So many memories are reignighted by just a bar or two of music.

5:40 am

I missed the 80's music

5:40 am

lol

5:40 am

LOL gort - I was always worried about the camel too.

5:41 am

70's and 80's music was my time.

5:41 am

70's - yeah! :)

5:42 am

80's were taken up by listening to babies crying...

5:42 am

I sang 'dont cry baby' all the time...

5:42 am

ah I think you might be a few years older than me then.

5:43 am

I may have started young! ;)

5:43 am

i was discovering the dark side of the rock then

5:43 am

lol gort

5:43 am

LOL OK I will fess first - am 51.

5:43 am

that was by floyd wasn't it?

5:44 am

46 here.

5:44 am

yep - I started young! 1959 was an excellent year, don't you thing fm?

5:44 am

as a matter of fact, i did name my pet rock floyd, how did you know? :)

5:44 am

think...

5:44 am

Dark Side of the Moon - one of the best albums ever - still have it as an LP :)

5:44 am

i'm 37 and a half in rock fungus years

5:45 am

LOL, gort.

5:45 am

dark rooms at parties with DS of the M playing. Wonderful stuff... ooooo the good old days

5:45 am

Lile '59 was a brill year!

5:46 am

Gosh gort that makes you at leat a trillion years old now.

5:46 am

Had my first snog at one of those parties.... (grin)

5:46 am

oh drat...*gort googles ds of the m and knowing full well what an ignorant freak she must seem*

5:46 am

wow gort - you're keeping well! (Dark Side of the Moon btw)

5:47 am

I thought that's what you meant with dark side of the rock.

5:48 am

Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin and just giggles at so many memories

5:48 am

Anyway - must be thinking of heading off to do some stuff in my other life. Any clues before i go?

5:48 am

now led zeppelin i have heard of...

5:48 am

Yeah - more memories then than now... strange that...

5:48 am

Oh you can't go Lile! Cos if you do that reminds me I have to be grown up too :(

5:48 am

but only because i went to school briefly with Jimmy Page's kid Keira

5:49 am

I am missing one letter a T6?

5:49 am

whoa, that ds of the m stuff is a head trip

5:49 am

no no no fm. do not worry! let the inner child out today!

5:49 am

Have you got the te6/18

5:55 am

As i am on my own & finished, then i might as well go too..Bye All stealth Babblers :-)

6:17 am

What is a stealth babbler please?

6:18 am

Someone who doesn't join in the chat

6:21 am

I am a stealth Babbler. I 1st discovered this problem about a year ago when the chat became filled with so many people. I felt like I didn't know everyone any more.

6:21 am

That's me then. Thought it might be but I am incapable of remembering to switch over and end up putting my words found in the chat log. I can multi task at everything else but not Babble.

6:22 am

Can anyone clue the os 8 please ;-)

6:22 am

As long as I've outed myself, clues for the DI's please.

6:23 am

I feel the same gramma I try to join in but they know each other so well its difficult

6:24 am

I see we joined about the same time. It was a smaller community then.

6:24 am

Norma, I'm afraid I don't have that 1 yet; but, I'll look.

6:25 am

Di** the perfume and out of s*** and pluralize it

6:26 am

Sometimes, poss middle of the night here, nobody responds so I gave up. I felt I was being rude trying to chip in.

6:26 am

Hi. Just got my fireworks & can tell you there IS no os8 word.

6:26 am

Thanks Jac I think Licketys list is going to pot yesterday there was an extra word in the clues ...

6:27 am

y/w Norma.

6:27 am

Keep on trying Pat some will talk to you ...

6:27 am

*waves to Pat*

6:28 am

TY Jac. What other word isn't there? Lickety has 2 extras, right?

6:28 am

gramma - Don't know, as I didn't use Lickety. Will check for you.

6:29 am

Thanks Jac that would be a great help ;-)

6:29 am

Norma, I get the 1st part of your clue;but, not the out of s***. ty for trying.

6:29 am

If you cant see it it is out of s***

6:30 am

si4/4 location

6:30 am

Aaah

6:30 am

hey, all :-)

6:30 am

Thanks Une

6:30 am

Hi une. and ty,Norma.

6:32 am

re what was said earlier, the chog has definitely grown and grown and grown -- and I think we all, at various times, feel ignored -- sometimes our comments just get lost in the general flurry . . .

6:33 am

Gramma - the other extra word on the Lickety list is do6/27.

6:33 am

I think that is probably the case Une if a theme is going and you ask for a clue people are usually to busy typing to read the chog lol

6:34 am

So - os8 & do6 are the extra words. Hope that helps.

6:34 am

morning

6:34 am

TY. Your timing is impeccable. I was just looking for that 1.

6:34 am

tx jac!

6:34 am

I have got DO6/27 Jac so I don't think it can be that one

6:34 am

hey, bonkler

6:34 am

y/w

6:34 am

i play at sporadic points in the day and there are a number of chat cliques that cycle through over the day

6:35 am

true . . .

6:35 am

Norma - definitely no do6/27!

6:35 am

some folks are open and friendly and there are a few that are sniffy

6:35 am

like life

6:35 am

Ta Jacula. Had to leave the keyboard then slapped handcream on and couldn't respond for a while.

6:36 am

speaking of cycling through, I'm cycling myself out for a mo -- BBL

6:36 am

Jac licketys clues have accepted it but babbles hasn't ...

6:36 am

ciao une

6:36 am

Pat - don't get the keyboard sticky. LOL

6:36 am

BBL

6:36 am

HGD gramma

6:37 am

Norma - out of interest, what was do6/27?

6:37 am

See you later Une

6:37 am

If you can say without giving part of a word away, that is..

6:38 am

do .... abbr of brothers

6:39 am

Found it! LOL. Do we get bonus points?;-)

6:39 am

I really think we should Jac lol

6:40 am

I'm addicted; looking for words that don't count! *sigh*

6:40 am

just noticed... 9, 10, 11 yikes. will need clues for those

6:40 am

Time I was off and getting on with some chores. See you all again. *Note to self - remember to change icon!*

6:40 am

That is a sure sign of serious addiction, I just said to my husband I should do the ironing he said just go and do your babble lol .... even he knows what its like

6:41 am

purty please

6:41 am

bonkler - they're lovely words once you see them. What you get when you get too cold, makes your extremities drop off in severe cases.

6:41 am

See you later Jac HGD

6:41 am

'Bye all. x

6:42 am

woohoo! thanks jac!

6:42 am

thanx jac for the clue on the 9 10 and 11 got it from that

6:44 am

rots

6:44 am

oops sorry

6:46 am

Your forgiven shame I have already got that one lol

6:46 am

hello again, only 83 to go hahah

6:46 am

Hello ruby keep going

6:48 am

bonjour une and "sniff" norma!

6:48 am

love that 9!

6:49 am

but still don't have 8, 10 and 11, dumb ruby!

6:49 am

hello babble friends. In my family, we say "I have to hotten this up" if our tea or whatnot has gone cold. Having grown up saying it, it never occurred to me that it wasn't a real word. but I guess not!

6:50 am

hahah trif. and hello. How are you?

6:50 am

For the 8 ruby take off the vowel , for the 10 pluralise the 9

6:50 am

ok, putting monkeys to work. they're a little bit tipsy from lunch

6:50 am

For the 11 add a vowel and cons to the 8

6:50 am

TIRED. Tertiare went to a concert last night, and I was the driver on the other end, the one who picked them up off the subway.....at midnight! and then the drive home....zzzzzz

6:51 am

thank you for the hand-feeding, norma. I am hopeless without a lot of help!

6:51 am

Have a restful day today then Trif

6:51 am

You are welcome ruby

6:52 am

wow, one short of half thanks to norma!

6:52 am

working today norma, and still dog sitting the BEASTS, so not a restful day. but it's all good

6:53 am

Well enjoy Trif lol

6:54 am

(whispering) so far this dog sitting gig is a nightmare. everyone told me I was nuts to do it -- they were right. shhhh

6:54 am

if I ever find a dog-sitter who is willing to hand-feed my autistic dog, then I may someday get another holiday

6:54 am

How many you sitting Trif??

6:54 am

even husband won't do it

6:55 am

2. one is an american shepherd who weighs 125 pounds and pees CONSTANTLY inside or out, the other is a unbelievably fat yorkie type thing

6:55 am

I was allowed our little boy on the condition he went into Kennels.. we found amazing kennels and he loves it there

6:55 am

they sound awful! not like our lovely, gentle chows

6:56 am

i need the money.

6:56 am

Oh Trif I hope you have lots of newspapers lol

6:56 am

I remind myself that each and every time I am out walking them, like today in the driving rain

6:56 am

Max has never been off the property since his arrival. He is much better than when he first came, but without Prozac, he'd still be a mess

6:56 am

the one have the most fun is my dog, diggity. he is so loving the company!!!!

6:56 am

Was he badly treated ruby ...

6:57 am

that is so cute! does he chase the fat one?

6:57 am

no, I just think that in order to get black chows, they are too inbred. He is very beautiful, though.

6:57 am

Doesn't Diggity get territorial ??

6:57 am

and couldn't be sweeter or more gentle

6:58 am

not much, but he should. I swear, I am conflicted -- the little one is SO fat....part of me feels like I should turn this into a little fat camp for the poor thing, and the other part feels like I should follow the owners wishes and feed her the assigned amount

6:58 am

I don't think I have ever seen a black chow ... how unusual

6:58 am

we had another black chow, a female, absolutely perfect but she never reached her full size and died at 2, I think of a heart anomaly.

6:58 am

same breeder in Canada

6:59 am

Diggity gets territorial over his food dish, which the littlest dog thinks belongs to her...well, she thinks ALL the dishes belong to her, but other than that, he is so chuffed with the play date he cares naught

6:59 am

my Ruby was getting chubby and I changed her diet and she is now the correct size, I can feel her ribs again

6:59 am

It is a shame they don't breed out the nasty things but they just seem to breed In more of the worse traits

7:00 am

the best part of having the shepherd around is that *I* am certainly going to tone up, and that is a good thing! All that walking is very good for me.

7:00 am

Perhaps the running around after each other will get the little on the lose some weight Trif

7:00 am

this was a great breeder who destroyed any aggressive pups, but I think she either missed Max's shyness OR she knew we'd give him a loving home as we had 4 of her other chows over the years

7:01 am

many of her dogs were international grand champions, but not black ones!

7:01 am

and now I appreciate low-maintenance Diggity all the more. He doesn't have to go out on the leash, and he lets me know when he needs to go out, and basically just delights in most things (car ride! my favorite! Kids! my favorite! oooh- bath = bummer. Kids! my favorite! Beach! my favorite!)

7:02 am

"destroyed any aggressive pups" is a troubling sentence

7:02 am

diggity sounds like the perfect dog!

7:02 am

he is a real doggy dog, which I do love, I must say. and he is WICKED smart.

7:02 am

My little boy is a Jorkie a cross between a Jack Russell and a Yorkshire terrier and he has the best traits of both breeds he is so laid back he is horizontal he even lets our two cats push him around

7:02 am

evidently, chows have very big litters plus a bad reputation. Not one of our five chows has ever bitten anyone even though they are wonderful watch dogs.

7:03 am

LOL norma. sounds like a keeper!

7:03 am

chows are what, a chinese breed in origin? Japanese?

7:03 am

my husband loves Jack Russells, but I have only had chows, so have only known a few other dogs

7:04 am

Chinese palace guard dogs with violet tongues, black gums and gorgeous, boxy bodies.

7:04 am

I like to play with other people's JRs, but I think they might be a little too spazzy for me personally

7:04 am

Jack Russells are really intelligent dogs ... but I think that passed by our little boy he is really dumb

7:04 am

big heads but with the independent personalities of cats

7:05 am

they are not noted for their intelligence, but that may be because they are not willing to follow instructions

7:06 am

....like herding cats. However, they are very clean and housebreak themselves. We've only had 2 "accidents" over 20 years and 5 dogs

7:06 am

tits

7:06 am

*oopsie*

7:06 am

well then. good morning. :)

7:06 am

Ahahaha! Mornin Eva!

7:06 am

well and hello to you EvaN

7:06 am

does Eva have Tourette's?

7:06 am

Morning Eva was that a comment on the chog lol

7:07 am

yes, those are my thoughts for the morning.

7:07 am

finally, half

7:08 am

Our Eva gets right to the point. : )

weell, I got the 9, 10, and 11 so the rest is cake, right?

Wrong.

7:08 am

what about the 7's? and hello kaplan

7:08 am

Well done Kap

7:08 am

oh, I just got all dreamy there for a second, and looked up adoptable dogs on petfinder.com.....diggity would SO love a playmate....

I got none of the 7s!

7:09 am

don't get a beauceron!!!!!!

7:09 am

i do try. no beating around the bush for me...

7:09 am

That is fatal Trif ... shouldn't look at puppies it makes you broody lol

7:09 am

I was actually looking at Irish wolfhounds, which I adore....I know, I know...HUGE

7:09 am

Clue please for os 8/40

7:10 am

they are so beautiful, wolfhounds. Also Norwegian elkhounds.

7:10 am

Which two words on Lickety are not viable?

7:10 am

HUGE is not the word you need a fortune to feed them

7:11 am

There is no OS8 or DO6

7:11 am

OS8 & DO6 are extras in licketys list.

7:11 am

Snap, Norma..lol

7:11 am

So the total for today is 157/2351

7:11 am

zanks, zzoozz, I was going crazy (ier) looking for the os

7:12 am

Thats correct, Gran.

this is a tough grid

7:31 am

7:31 am

LOL

7:31 am

the one you use in the garden , Kap.

I think the term Zoom used might be British.

7:31 am

thanks Molly and Zoozz

Oh- I had that one already. Is there another et?

7:31 am

really? you call it a pipe?

7:31 am

I am a long way from NBS but am over half way

7:32 am

7:32 am

It's one of those tricksy words Mom. I found it when I looked at the grid sideways. : )

7:32 am

I sure do appreciate the help

7:32 am

will have to try that without getting dizzy

7:33 am

Someday, I may try looking at it standing on my head. : D

7:33 am

just think when Dr_God gets the new Babble up and running we will be able to rotate the grid

7:33 am

lol

7:33 am

that ought to really throw me for a loop

7:34 am

but you dont want to send yourself into or5

7:34 am

:)

I keep wanting some sorbet but there isn't any.

7:35 am

British sorbet especially.

Served by a hottie.

7:38 am

fr8 is funny. women can be so silly.

I better be careful, or I WILL end up in the PB.

7:39 am

Yes mom

7:39 am

7:44 am

7:44 am

Yipee! Sorbet in the foyer!

7:46 am

drive cross town while daughter is in one hour class at 6 am. driving cross-town twice seems silly. So I just sleep. I keep two blankies in the car and..ah.. there they are now.. my daughter fills a couple plastic bottles with hot water for me.. which I slip inside my coat.LOL

7:46 am

Sorbet in the foyer with my brother.

7:46 am

8:25 am

hi , Nono

I have been flying thru this grid but those big words eluded me for a long time, I guess because I don't want to admit that winter is coming and those are sure signs of it

8:27 am

Nono, I am trudging through this grid

8:27 am

Eh EvaN??

8:27 am

no you didn't, Annie, I was being dense.

8:28 am

you, sprite, dense? never

8:29 am

lol believe me, VERY dense.

8:29 am

I cannot figure out the panty clue. Nor am I getting the long words.

8:30 am

8:32 am

Hey there Annie, all is calm and quiet. Am going for a nap shortly.

8:32 am

8:32 am

Hi sprincey sprite

8:42 am

Can I beg a clue for the 11, please?

8:42 am

past tense of the fr10

8:43 am

fr11---the state of being

8:44 am

thank you both (looking)

8:46 am

fr5 + bi6

8:46 am

oh dear... talking about dense. Thanks again, should have seen it after finding the 8 and 9.

8:47 am

9 and 10. Ah well... one of th5 days.

8:47 am

there IS an 8, sprite, so dont miss that one. :)

8:49 am

thanks, LOL! Ok, got 4 of 'm now. EvaN, I asked earlier how your wedding went! (guess you were very deep into the grid, grin)

8:49 am

uh, yes, very deep in the grid. ;)

8:49 am

it was wonderful! couldnt have asked for a more gorgeous day and for the most part, things went as planned!

8:49 am

am so glad! Love your pictures, and you are utterly beautiful.

8:50 am

awww. well, thanky. :) ::blushes::

8:52 am

i wish i could wear that dress every day. :)

8:52 am

you should!

8:53 am

i have actually tried to figure out if there is any way i could have it altered for more everyday use, but i cant think of anything...

8:54 am

perhaps keep it in pristine state and give it to your eldest daughter later.

8:54 am

we all like to think our daughters would want to wear our dresses, but how often does that ever happen?

8:55 am

almost never, lol

8:56 am

my friends friend actually just got married. she + her hubs have a VERY retro, rockabilly style, and she had her grandmothers dress altered + slightly updated and wore it. it was amazing how much it was her style!

8:57 am

oh that is wonderful!

8:57 am

i like to think my dress is classic and timeless, but they never are, are they?

8:58 am

rock'n'roll never gets old :D

8:58 am

but you are right, they never are

8:58 am

my mother had it cleaned and boxed up for me. so at least i will have it, should i choose to have something done with it.

8:58 am

There is a funny bit in the show "Brothers & Sisters" where the Mom gives her wedding dress to her daughter and it just doesn't work at all.

8:59 am

in the meantime, i have been wearing the HECK outta my wedding shoes, and i plan on figuring out a way to wear that hair flower again! (even though -SECRET- i am planning on having all my hair chopped off tomorrow night!)

9:00 am

oh no, really? Kinda of a shame. But I bet you look gorgeous anyway.

9:00 am

Whoa Eva, how short are you going?

9:00 am

short. i have had it much shorter than this before, but im going super-short. pixie cut!

9:01 am

i had actually grown out the front for the wedding, but i really hate it in my face.

9:01 am

looks great on you though

9:01 am

was already eager to get it cut, but i decided to really go for it this time!

9:01 am

The most low maintenance "do" there is.

9:02 am

hopefully it works for me! *fingers crossed*

i was just reading a blurb yesterday about wedding dresses being turned into christening gowns and even Christmas tree skirts and such

9:02 am

Clue for the os8/40? Monkies are useless today.

9:03 am

I think os40 is a "non word" from Lickety's list. There are two today.

9:03 am

Judi, Os 8 is an extra word

9:03 am

all I have is an or7. And I have all the 8s. No os8, I think.

9:03 am

and do 6 is extra also

9:04 am

Meaning....?

9:04 am

meaning forget about it, it isn't in today's babble, not as a valid word

9:04 am

Ah. Jolly good!

9:05 am

I want that bi6 perfect tense behind the dog :(

9:06 am

Fireworks!!

9:06 am

gratz Judi

9:07 am

Bi6/24: cafe, snack shop, etc.

9:07 am

may I have a clue for the pr7/32? ty.

9:08 am

errrr no the other bi6/24

9:08 am

Pr7/32 does not exist. It's a mistake.

9:08 am

fi4bi6 should be a word

9:09 am

Bi6/24: if you get bi**** by a dog, you might need a rabies shot.

9:09 am

pr7: not an amateur + first two letters of the babblet needlecase + an exam is a **st

9:09 am

yes thanks Judi, that is why I said: fi4bi6 should be a word :)

9:10 am

HAGD, all. *POOF*

9:11 am

ty!!! Sprite. Nothing was making sense before.

9:12 am

yvw nurse, glad it worked :)

9:15 am

the only definition I can find of that word is: a female professional athlete

9:17 am

Very strange word Sprite.

9:17 am

it certainly is.

9:18 am

fireflies. Not one of the easiest grids, for me anyway.

9:19 am

Just getting here, wondered if matter of do5,6 has already been discussed

9:20 am

I have 1x do5/16 and no do6

9:21 am

9:22 am

9:24 am

guess I'll get over it. poof...

9:29 am

I am one of the "friends to the west" LOL

9:55 am

10:00 am

1:01 pm

Knowing minerals also helps with trivia (in which I compete) -- Chemistry questions usually contain a line such as "Extracted from gibbsite, ..." or whatever. (gibbsite = Aluminium, by the way.)

1:03 pm

I love it when people know a lot about diverse things, needed, of course, for trivia games. I'm only good about movies and recognizing voices.....

glad to see you're a Steelers fan, sadie, me too

well i think ben needs to get his head back in football

1:04 pm

1:05 pm

hiya Soodlebum

1:05 pm

speaking of dogs, how is Buster, soodle?

1:06 pm

121/157 words... to list or not to list? (to put Babble or work in the background window? :o/)

1:06 pm

1:06 pm

1:07 pm

Ruby, he is driving me totally demeted. He is the naughtiest dog in the world!!

1:07 pm

1:07 pm

1:07 pm

1:07 pm

1:07 pm

one brindle female

1:08 pm

male and one female are fawn

1:08 pm

last is tan and white

1:08 pm

her dog climbs mountains with her and her husband

1:08 pm

boxers are lovely

1:08 pm

ohhhh thats cool

1:08 pm

and good exercize for the dog

1:08 pm

He has taken to sleeping on my bed - in all his muddy glory. Nothing is safe from his chewing.... and I mean Nothing. He torments the life out of the poor cat, and yesterday, I found him UP on the kitchen table!

1:08 pm

yea they are great dogs

1:08 pm

very very loving

1:09 pm

OMG, soodle, in the bed? on the table? And you probably laugh so hard that you can't tell him no

1:10 pm

does he sleep with you?

1:10 pm

hehehe dogs and cats love beds

1:10 pm

my dogs are too dirty to be in the bed but, for some reason, none of our chows ever got up on the furniture

1:11 pm

luckily!

1:11 pm

Actually, No! Rubes - I stopped laughing. I changed the covers on my bed for the last 4 days running. And nope - he does not share my bed........(little Soodle smirk....)

1:11 pm

Hello Soodle. Feeling cheerier today?

1:11 pm

you must be firm with dogs,train them and treat then like 2 years old,be firm with the rules..(crossy brushes the cat off the desk)

1:11 pm

oh boxers here think couch is theirs

1:12 pm

Yes thank you Moll! Everything all back on track...

1:12 pm

if you are mean to a chow chow, he will NEVER forgive you.

1:13 pm

funny how different some breeds are in nature

1:13 pm

fortunately, they housebreak themselves and only chew on stuff while they are getting their adult teeth

1:13 pm

Good to hear Soodle. ; )

1:13 pm

Busters problem is that he thinks he is a person, not a dog, and as such, deserves all human perks. Sheesh!

1:14 pm

not that that doesn't do damage! Two of them bit through the wallpaper and lath into the space behind!

1:14 pm

but what would life be like without dogs?

1:15 pm

Cleaner????

1:15 pm

dogs or cats i love them both

1:15 pm

chows are like huge cats

1:15 pm

eh id rather have the cat or dog then a pristine house

1:15 pm

I gave up on a spotless house a long time ago

1:16 pm

they are just such characters and make life alot better in my humble opinion

1:16 pm

and in grim November, it is hard to keep up with the muddy paw prints (and husband doesn't wipe his feet, either!)

1:16 pm

heheehe tell hubby kids do what he does lol

1:16 pm

1:24 pm

hello hurshy

1:24 pm

my boss, attempting to buy mcafee security, instead bought their family protection program, which allows for parental controls - as he's a grandfather and this is his traveling netbook, highly unnecessary

1:25 pm

luckily they were willing to give him a refund.

1:27 pm

good night everybody and give bad Buster a ruby hug!

or opp of amateur + exam

3:02 pm

Well, duh! Thanks all...

3:02 pm

and change the vowel for the LAST pr7! i think it's the last, anyway, based on what has been said.

3:02 pm

I'm really slow sometimes.

that got one for me hurshy... thanks.

3:05 pm

ugh, i still need 30 words, i am finding this grid somewhat hard.

3:09 pm

pr6 - be really really good at the position in between standing and lying down

3:11 pm

finding D troublesome.

there is one D that is an error....

there is no do 6/27

3:13 pm

i'm not using a list, so that isn't the problem at the moment. i just can't find 3 of the 7 d's.

3:14 pm

however, i have made it down to 20 words to go overall!

I have the d's

good for you... I had to list a while ago

3:14 pm

ah, well, all mine are do4's - are the other 3 not?

3:16 pm

the first do is a 5

3:17 pm

I think the di is a type of rock

3:17 pm

hello folks question?

3:18 pm

has anyone else had a hard time with bi4 = a pen

di + vowel + ceremonial ****

3:18 pm

thank you dianeDecoder!!

3:20 pm

3:21 pm

3:22 pm

i have bi4, with my teeth it bi** and bi** 2ts and bi** southeast, only one that doesn't work is bi4 word for a pen

I don't get what you mean by a pen ???

3:23 pm

hello again. Any clues for the 1st NE?

3:23 pm

there are only 4 bi4 words. so if you have 4, you are all set with them.

3:23 pm

ne5 like a person who believes in God but change D to N

3:23 pm

ty

ne + one who does

3:24 pm

the lower O has ___ Wan Kenobi (pl) and the abbr for death notice and pl - anyone want to tell me what the other one is?

3:24 pm

3:26 pm

3:32 pm

Xcelle ... bi + do you **e what I **e

3:33 pm

bi 4/6 is after child bi 5/16

said the shepherd to the little lamb :-) Now I'll be singing that the rest of the day LOL

3:36 pm

lol Diane, it sure beats singing Delta Dawn from yesterday :-)

was that the catch tune yesterday ? lol But you're right... better because Christmas is coming !

3:38 pm

yes, it was the catch tune for yesterday. I do admit Do you hear what I hear is a much better tune to sing. One of my Christmas favorites

I like it too

3:39 pm

Little Drummer Boy is another favorite

andy williams.... the carpenters.... Perry Como ... Bing.... Sonny James... to name a few who've sung it

3:40 pm

still can't sing We Three Kings of Orient Are correctly, keep wanting to use the words we all learned as kids in elementary school

I am a music nut....

learned to smoke a rubber cigar ? LOL

3:41 pm

I am for Christmas music

3:41 pm

that's the one. It was loaded it exploded all over near and far

I am for all kinds... right back into the late 20's....

3:42 pm

I love 40's

I collect....

3:42 pm

that's cool

me too, and my teen years, the 50's !

3:43 pm

yes, the 50's.... The Little White Cloud that Cried

3:43 pm

was born late 50's but like the music

okay, better get back to these last pesky pr 's

johnny ray

3:43 pm

yes

3:44 pm

I had better scoot off here and find something for supper. Nice chatting with you Diane.

you too, :-) I'm sure we'll chat again

3:45 pm

I am sure of it.

3:52 pm

hi all

3:58 pm

I see Mom and Diane have been singing holiday songs. : )

hi, m9

fa la la la la.... la la la la

Hiya Molly

3:59 pm

Oh man, too early for me. I'm not even ready for over the river and through the woods yet.

I'm not rushing it yet either ... although they are playing Christmas music in the stores already

4:01 pm

There are those who like two solid months of Christmas decorations and music. Then there are those, like me, who prefer to start all that mid-December. It's all good.

4:02 pm

help with ro7 pls

about the same here... and then I enjoy the season for a few weeks afterward too

Hi peri

4:03 pm

hi diane

ro 7/28 the flower and the dimintive suffix

4:04 pm

due, ty diane, already had the shorter version of that word

4:04 pm

meant duh

4:04 pm

Not me. First of January I start my countdown to Spring. : D

diminutive ....

yw peri thought you might have :-)

4:05 pm

I could do without the winter season all together including the holidays, everything is so commericial and starts way too soon

4:06 pm

we don't tart christmas decorations until dec 7th. we can get our tree any time after that. and it has to be down by jan 5th

4:07 pm

I agree Peri. It's way overdone. I don't think I'll really get into Christmas again until we have little people in the clan again. Still waiting on my son and girlie-in-law to make that happen.

and I'm waiting for the gread grands.... the little ones enhance the magic for sure

4:08 pm

i object to thanksgiving being shafted, decor moves straight from halloween to christmas these days.

we don't have that problem... our Thanksgiving is always the 2nd Monday in October.

4:09 pm

and I don't like the tone of the commercials either. We heard one yesterday with a sarcastic elf.

4:09 pm

Not here Hursh. We have two weeks of Thanksgiving decorations before the Christmas stuff goes up.

4:09 pm

it was a good day at the food pantry today. we got a huge donation of canned and packaged from a local private girls school.

4:09 pm

sweet!

4:09 pm

which is a much more sensible time for it anyway - by the end of november, everything is grey, the leaves have fallen - mid october is much more festive.

awesome, peri

4:09 pm

In our home that is. The stores do go from Halloween to Christmas with five minutes of Thanksgiving in between.

4:10 pm

my scouts will be doing food drive soon

4:10 pm

oh, Molly, i'm only a poser, i'm really in the states

4:10 pm

but canadian thanksgiving is much more ideal.

ours is right near to Columbus day, which you celebrate in the U.S.

4:10 pm

15 left, my stomach is growling, bbs

4:11 pm

I would much rather have two months between Thanksgiving and Christmas than one. Canada does it right.

4:11 pm

we DON'T celebrate columbus day at PC places

4:11 pm

(PC as in politically correct, not personal computer)

4:12 pm

hi all

4:13 pm

most people around me call it indigenous peoples day

4:13 pm

today i was behind a car whose license plate was ###-MEW :)

4:15 pm

what does that mean?

4:15 pm

JMC, Thanksgiving or Columbus Day?

4:15 pm

it means i feel happy because i love cats and they say MEW!

4:16 pm

columbus day

4:16 pm

### just means i don't remember the number part.

4:17 pm

oh the other day i saw one that was simply "RUBBER". i wondered - masseur? rubber company owner? any other guesses?

4:17 pm

the rubber hits the road

4:17 pm

advocate for safe sex, perhaps?

4:18 pm

I was just gonna write that hursh!

4:18 pm

oh yes, i thought of that too m9, forgot about it just now

4:18 pm

an eraser is a rubber and so are boots

4:18 pm

but if you owned a company that made boots or erasers wouldn't you get "RUBBERS"?

4:19 pm

whereas if you just made rubber, you'd go singular.

4:19 pm

maybe it was a hitman

4:19 pm

maybe for the boots but a rubber as an eraser is singular

4:19 pm

oooooh, scary! it WAS a black SUV!

4:19 pm

i thought of that too m9

4:19 pm

There is no telling what people mean with vanity plates. Before they started getting scrutinized, someone got away with EMTAE. Imagine what that would look like in your rear view mirror.

lol

4:20 pm

yikes!

4:20 pm

but what i mean is, jmc, you make LOTS of erasers at your company, i would think you would want to get the plural one.

4:20 pm

EMTAE is funny! it would be bad if it were UOYKCUF.

4:20 pm

some states limit the letters

4:21 pm

there was also SWMMOM, which i assume means her kid is a swimmer.

4:21 pm

a single white male mom would be weird.

4:23 pm

yeah.. if you saw a vanity plate that said "teapot" I'd doubt you'd think.."hey.. maybe the driver's last name is Simmerer!"

4:23 pm

come to think of it, SWFMOM or SWMDAD would be good ways to advert your availability while warning people who can't handle it that you have a kid.

4:23 pm

what WOULD you think if you saw teapot?

4:23 pm

do6?

4:24 pm

dome

4:24 pm

they collect them maybe?

4:24 pm

sorry that was in answer to hursh

4:24 pm

there is no do6, it's a typo in lickety.

kje apparently do 6 is an error

4:24 pm

ty

4:24 pm

or at least a discrepancy

4:24 pm

what is the other error

4:24 pm

maybe you would think that the person was short and stout

4:25 pm

that seems to be happening a lot lately

4:25 pm

rofl.. which was true!!!LOL

4:25 pm

oooh, i got one!

4:25 pm

*feels smart*

4:26 pm

what do you mean, what is the other error? what makes you think there is another one?

4:26 pm

lol

4:26 pm

hold on to that feeling.. this grid will try and take it away!

4:26 pm

oh, i finished the grid, so i'm ok.

4:26 pm

b/c babble lists 157 and lickety lists 159

4:26 pm

grid has 157 words... lickety has 159

4:26 pm

oh. interesting.

4:27 pm

echo echo echo

4:27 pm

well i haven't heard the other error get mentioned.

4:27 pm

and it didn't happen to come up in the 10 words for which i listed. so it probably isn't in the E's, F's, P's, S's, or T's.

4:28 pm

hmmm i am getting nowhere fast in this grid

the other is os 8/40

4:28 pm

jmc, can we play GWJMCIM?

4:28 pm

or do you have too many left?

4:28 pm

???

4:29 pm

Guess What JMC Is Missing

4:29 pm

144 left

4:29 pm

headache

4:29 pm

long day

4:29 pm

oh my.

4:29 pm

crushing weekend

4:29 pm

oh wow.. just noticed i have 8 lseft

4:29 pm

*sings* you've only just begun...

4:29 pm

oh but interesting news

4:29 pm

it's wednesday, which weekend is crushing, the last or the next?

4:30 pm

Do tell JMC

4:30 pm

i am going to be filmed on Friday for the history channel

4:30 pm

both weekends I feel like i am in a concrete sandwich

4:30 pm

WE HAVE A FILM STAR IN OUR BABBLE FAMILY!

4:30 pm

they are filming a book written by a friend of mine

4:30 pm

Where?

4:31 pm

wow that is cool jmc (molly means you, if you aren't joking)

4:31 pm

That is so cool. What kind of book?

4:31 pm

the book is How the states got their shapes by Mark Stein

4:31 pm

oooooooh i am an expert on state shapes

4:31 pm

And what part will our lovely JMC be playing?

4:32 pm

i am going to be walking down the Mall and they will ask me where i am originally from and then ask me if I can draw the shape of Texas

4:32 pm

I warned them that my accent was light but genuine

4:32 pm

when i was a kid, i had a puzzle of the states and i would close my eyes and my sister or my mom would hand me a piece and i would feel it and say which state it was and i even got good enough to distinguish wyoming from colorado.

4:32 pm

we should have a babble party.. where we all watch the show and play the grid!

4:32 pm

Ooo, ooo, ooo, can I come down to the Mall and sing "Deep In The Heart Of Texas" while you do that? : D

4:33 pm

see if they want to throw me in the movie as the token weirdo

4:33 pm

lol

4:33 pm

tell them ill do nudity if its essential to the plot

4:33 pm

what a moment to arrive. LOL, Cos!

4:33 pm

ob6?

4:33 pm

lol

4:33 pm

God it warms my heart. We can always count on Cos.

4:34 pm

ob + exam

4:34 pm

Heya NB.

4:34 pm

hi nb!

4:34 pm

:-D

4:35 pm

'lo everyone :)

4:35 pm

deep in the heart of texas was written by the head of the UT band many years ago -- he also wrote the eyes of Texas

4:35 pm

hi nb and cos

4:36 pm

4:37 pm

4:38 pm

oh... how rough?

4:38 pm

yay harry potter's elf is in the grid

4:38 pm

an hour? lol yesterdays took me an hour

4:39 pm

heya diane

4:39 pm

I'm kind of fascinated by how patriotic some Americans seem to be. I mean, I love England to pieces, but I think that's because I've experienced living elsewhere and know that if I'd stayed there, my life would be very different and very difficult.

4:39 pm

I thought there were two b's in that word Cos. My memory is fading, fading, fading.

4:39 pm

hiya, Diane :)

4:40 pm

heya NB, long time no see, how are you?

4:40 pm

os8?

4:40 pm

there are 2 b's actually

4:40 pm

NB, I'm very patriotic. For all the faults this country has, I still think it's a great nation and I'm very proud to be a citizen.

4:40 pm

but close enough :)

4:40 pm

os8 is the extra in lickety

4:40 pm

help with the top corner E for nbt?

4:41 pm

4:42 pm

Harry Potter Cos?

4:42 pm

what is holding you back cos?

4:42 pm

yes

4:42 pm

O

4:42 pm

jmn..it doesnt open til midnight tomorrow night

4:42 pm

Good for you. My son and I are going to wait until the crowds thin out.

4:43 pm

I guess I can't feel patriotic about the country I'm actually from. I kind of hate it.

4:43 pm

come on its harry potter! :)

4:43 pm

huggs NB

4:43 pm

the boy who made the world fall in love with reading all over again

4:44 pm

uh i never fell out of love with reading

4:44 pm

oh most people i meant.. i never did either

4:44 pm

i am patriotic... to the land of my 10th great grandparents.

4:44 pm

NB I'm furious at your future king btw

4:44 pm

(Jac) so glad to hear you're all doing well :)

4:44 pm

which future king?

4:45 pm

which future king, charles or william?

4:45 pm

snap jmc!

charles, or william ?

4:45 pm

it is a mutliple choice these days

4:45 pm

im too mad to say his name. hes cheating on me with that no good.....

4:45 pm

Why's that, Cos? I doubt you're alone ;)

4:45 pm

:-)

4:45 pm

i had a crush on prince charles when i was young

4:46 pm

!

4:46 pm

ewwww, c'mon, no!! can you imagine having to deal with THAT family?? I'm scared enough to meet Frank's parents...

4:46 pm

thats a first!

4:46 pm

really? you had a crush on the ugly one?

4:46 pm

alas he never came close enough to be floored by my beauty and charm

4:46 pm

well if Diana was still alive i wouldnt mind

4:46 pm

i really don't think he is ugly

4:47 pm

Charles lost out big time JMC. And look what he settled for.

4:47 pm

NB, may i ask who Frank is? and does he make you happy?

4:47 pm

i guess i am not horsey enough! lol

4:47 pm

Plus, the royals are just the biggest bunch of Hooray Henrys you'll ever come across. Grossss. Real RAs ;)

4:47 pm

Agreed Molly. Camilla looks like a horse. But then again so does Charles

4:47 pm

py5?

4:48 pm

charles did NOT settle. camilla was his first love, and they sundered them because he was thought too young to marry. it just shows you what a mistake it is to make people marry people they don't want to marry instead of the people they do want to marry.

4:48 pm

thats why they changed their attitude

4:49 pm

well just because they sundered them she could have waited until he was older ... i think that story is a case of a woman wanting it both ways

4:49 pm

i suppose, though i don't know enough about the sundering to know if camilla thought that was just that, or what.

4:50 pm

clearly she was more than ready to pick back up

4:50 pm

I have no respect for anyone who allows herself to be the mistress of the future King. She just helped the Royals look even worse.

4:50 pm

Yes to both questions, Jac :) Frank is my saviour, my flatmate and my best friend. But it's probably quickest to call him my boyfriend ;)

4:50 pm

but not your cupid.LOL

4:50 pm

the people in that calss (uber snobby) live differently from us mortals, they have affairs etc and as long as they are discrete a blind eye is turned

4:50 pm

i still blame the parents.

4:51 pm

i still blame the parents.

4:51 pm

so she should stayed a virgin for the sake of England?

4:51 pm

class lol not calss

4:51 pm

lol

4:51 pm

glad to see you happy NB, you deserve it

4:51 pm

elizabeth I did, jmc!

4:51 pm

No she shouldn't have stayed a virgin. I doubt she was a virgin when Chuck and Di married anyway.

4:51 pm

py5?

4:51 pm

fireworks. was being TOTALLY blind! last word pe5

4:52 pm

and you KNOW that is not true hurshy

4:52 pm

whoo hooo m9

4:52 pm

But if she was so horny she could always have gone to a pub. There's a lot of desperate men who would sleep with a woman who looks like a horse :)

4:52 pm

i believe camilla was already married when charles married diana, so that is a safe bet.

4:52 pm

robot ending

4:52 pm

Mmm, thank you Jac :) there's been a very long story getting up to this point. Oh, and you know the babbler JC? He played cupid for us ;)

4:52 pm

for kje...

4:52 pm

wow cos

4:52 pm

actually JMC, i read alison weir's biography and it sounds like it most likely was true.

4:52 pm

ty m9

4:52 pm

ahhhh nice to know we have a cupid in the group

4:53 pm

I'm biased :) I know Di wasn't the wife of the year either but I've met her once. I like her :P

4:53 pm

Di seemed to have gotten the short end of the stick

4:54 pm

i wonder with all he's seen, how hard it will be for william to have a successful marriage.

4:54 pm

well at least he had the sense to live with her first

4:54 pm

oh my gosh

4:54 pm

it woild be awful to be married to someone who loved someone else, regardless of status or wealth

4:55 pm

next to last st5?

4:55 pm

they just said something on tv about eva longoria and tony parker splitting up, and i swear i was JUST wondering like two days ago when that would happen. i feel prophetic.

4:55 pm

I don't really mind. I'm not particularly fond of any of the royals. Seems to me that all they do is complain - as if any of them really have anything to moan about!

4:55 pm

(and i do not follow celebrity gossip at all - the thought just popped in my head)

4:56 pm

sure you don't have second to last and are looking for last?? and now for the rest of the st5

4:56 pm

i think being a royal has to suck since your life is so subscribed

4:56 pm

tell me a st5... (swap letters 3 and 4 for the last)

4:56 pm

ep5?

4:56 pm

Charles wanted to be an architect and he was not allowed

4:57 pm

ep5 - nora *****n, screenwriter, swap last two letters.

4:57 pm

nope running...yoga no work...

how are you?

6:35 pm

Nice! :-) I actually got a couple of hours to myself today too; I got to do laundry and scrub my floors! :-) (they were very dirty and I've wanted to do that for a while. It seems that I only can clean when no one is around lately)

ugh. I did the floors last night...my dog had a series of explosions...

6:36 pm

oh-oh! THAT doesn't sound good!

6:37 pm

ew!

6:52 pm

6:53 pm

Lil...you're here. How are we not hiding under a rock after that horror of a Monday night game?

I should have thought about it, but now they are one the permanently "No fly" list. and he did get a very bad hair cut and bath...

6:53 pm

I've never heard of that before. My little dog probably wouldn't tolerate it either

6:53 pm

Molly that was soooooooooooo hideous! HID E OUS!

its mostly Rice flour. who knew.

6:54 pm

The little tyrant (Snyder) has to go. Maybe this needed to happen for the rest of the stock holders to buy his ego-driven ass out.

6:56 pm

back in a mo . . .

7:10 pm

b's bamboozled!

7:11 pm

WTG, lbd!

7:13 pm

e's extinguished!

7:15 pm

(1 left for me yet to find)

7:15 pm

still have 18 left. got a late start on this one.

7:16 pm

Oh! I meant 1 more E for me to find! I just started within the last hour or so; still have 96 to find

7:17 pm

When do you usually start playing, lbd?

7:18 pm

depends on what time i get home from work. so, sometime after two. didn't get started today until around 4pm. then had to make dinner...

7:18 pm

evening all

7:19 pm

hi dan, nef and everyone.

7:19 pm

hi dan2. Cute picture of the baby there! :-)

7:20 pm

ty nef - it's a fave. I feel like she's plotting something :-)

7:20 pm

She sure looks like it!

7:22 pm

can I have the counts for the top row E for NBT?

7:23 pm

ei 5/12 and et 5/12

7:23 pm

en5 or et5, dan

7:23 pm

it's the en I need, apparently

7:23 pm

sorry, lbd is correct on the en5; my ei was for the bottom E

7:25 pm

duh fish me

7:26 pm

nah, it escaped me too, dan

7:26 pm

I can't believ that I still have to get NBT! I usually do that first thing; but am still missing the 1st column S and the second column O!

7:27 pm

Every stupid S I get works on the left one, not the right one!

7:28 pm

i hate to have to so** thru and match socks.

7:28 pm

that's for the left S, lbd. But I did just get the O (finally!)

7:29 pm

tell me a st*** about your childhood

7:29 pm

sr4 babblet comes from left

7:30 pm

that's also from the right one (as was the last clue; I got my lefts and rights mixed up. I need the left S in the first column, third row

7:31 pm

she needs the top row 4th column S

7:31 pm

thanks dan2! That's it!

7:31 pm

if you mix up the middle of lbd's clue you'll get one that comes from the left S also

7:32 pm

thanks!

7:34 pm

lbd; I always confusr my lefts and rights! I am a lefty; and then for over 40 years I've listened to a patients' heart and lungs and had to chart it the opposite of what *I* thought it was!

7:35 pm

finito and with Lickety's bonus words too!

7:35 pm

YAY, LBD!!!! WTG!!!!!!

7:35 pm

You don't get extra points for finding those, some of us tried earlier. LOL

7:36 pm

i know, Jac. but i must finish both lists or i get really crabby.

7:36 pm

LOL

7:37 pm

woo hoo lbd

7:37 pm

LOL! Boy, I'd be one crabby person lately if that were true of me! :-)

7:38 pm

Nef - I'am an ambidetrous lefty, as in only do precision stuff with left hand. I've never confused my sides. Mind you, I've never tried to listen to see if Dr Who ha a heartbeat.

7:39 pm

Missed the all important 'x' out of that word.

7:40 pm

Mind you, not all precision work is left-handed. I could no more wield a pair of scissors in my left hand than fly.

7:41 pm

And when sewing, though the needle and thread is in my left hand, my right side guides what happens.

7:41 pm

Jac, I'm such a lefty that I once injured my right elbow and found tht the only thing I used my right hand for was turning on my car and the automatic shift. Oh, and curling my hair (back in the day before curling irons were popular)

7:42 pm

so os8/40 is not in grid ,what is the other one thats not in here please?

7:42 pm

10 to go !! wheee

7:42 pm

I also tie shoelaces right-handed, which is why I couldn't help my best friend's total lefty son with that.

7:44 pm

It's better to be ambidextrous, I think.

7:44 pm

danged if I know, shorty! I'm not ready to open the list yet

7:44 pm

You can do it Harry! Go for it!

7:44 pm

8 now :)

7:44 pm

Kep on keeping on, Harry!

7:46 pm

The big fr words are my favourites fromthis grid.

7:47 pm

5 woohoo

7:47 pm

they were fun to find all of them

7:47 pm

But it won't be those words people just finishing are looking for. It'll be the singulars or plurals they thought they'd put in, or the ite endings.

7:48 pm

err, I meant IT was fun....

7:48 pm

shorty - the do6/27 is the other

7:48 pm

Hi Herin.

7:49 pm

hi herin. How are you today?

7:49 pm

hi herin! good morning ?

Morning. I am freeeeeeeeeeeeee

7:49 pm

I'm cheap...

7:50 pm

Don't try looking for os8 - it's not in the grid. Ther is another one, too, can't remember what that is right now, but think it was a t word.

7:50 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

7:50 pm

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

7:50 pm

Herin - are you watching a Who vid on youtube??

7:50 pm

jac it's do6/27

7:50 pm

ok got to 100 - passed my personal permission to list :-)

7:50 pm

Hi Min.

7:50 pm

"free from what, herin?" was not found in the dictionary

7:51 pm

hi Min!

7:51 pm

Harry, Oh, so it was. Thanks for reminding me.

I have finished study. Time to harrass some agencies I contacted last week

7:52 pm

dan - I don't permit to list until 10 on a big grid and 5 on a small grid.

7:52 pm

ok. need help on my last 4.

7:52 pm

Woo Hoo, herin! Go for it!!! :-)

7:52 pm

my criteria is usually halfway or more on every tile

7:52 pm

can somebody clue the second ey?

7:52 pm

Formyself, that is, the rest of you can please yourselves, of course.

7:53 pm

ey + the beginning of not wrong + a consonant

7:53 pm

Harry - change thelast letter of the 2nd ey to the 3rd letter of the 1st ey.

Thanks. Do yo think that it is acceptable to contact people after a week of applying if it is with a recruitment co?

7:54 pm

dan - I never look at tile stats, I just find words as and where I can.

7:54 pm

yes to thank them for the interview and to tell them that you would like to work with them

7:55 pm

Herin - maybe, but don't sound needy, just efficient with no time to waste.

Ru. They haven't even emailed me. So I am thinking that after a week a very poliet Hi my name is and I am just enquiring about X to see resume recieved etx

7:56 pm

tyruru and jc

7:56 pm

hi everyone

Hi Welki

7:56 pm

hi welki!!!

7:57 pm

I think you can do that herin

7:57 pm

hi welkster

7:57 pm

herin, are you saying that a recruitment company hasn't called you yet? Did they recruit you or are you answering an ad?

I have been told that recruitment agencies are slack. I answered an advert a week ago

7:58 pm

definitely contact to see if they have received your resume.

7:59 pm

yes. I agree with lbd.

Point

I hate ringing and annoying people without sounding desperate

8:00 pm

DONE :)

8:00 pm

woo hoo HH

8:00 pm

it's reasonable to ask if they received it. A week is more than enough time to be able to respond.

8:00 pm

YAY harry!

8:00 pm

hello all

8:00 pm

ty ty hi stid

8:01 pm

dan, that child gets cuter by the minute!

8:01 pm

night :)

8:01 pm

When I was out job-hunting; I was told that the thing I must do is carry a bunch of pre-stamped thank you cards with me and write out the thank you notes in the parking lot right as I was leaving the job interview and mail them right away.

8:01 pm

ty for confirming, stid. I keep thinking it's just me :-)

8:01 pm

hi stid

8:01 pm

excellent, tip, nef! *makes note for next spring when job hunting*

8:02 pm

sweet dreams harry

Night Harry

8:02 pm

okay, dieee isn't one... *grin*

It is but not good enough apparently

8:06 pm

herin, are there agencies that help folks with career counseling? might help to have someone look over your resume

8:06 pm

Keep the faith herein. Someone out there wants you but the time is not exactly right for them

My resume is fine actually. I had a friends dad that is a HR recruiter structure it for me

8:07 pm

herin, you will find a much better job than the gal who got that job. They were looking for another dolt to fill that spot; you need to find a job where you will be needed and appreciated

8:07 pm

((bugs)) had my eval with my faculty advisor today. Not bad, but LOTS of areas that I need to work harder on.

8:07 pm

That is not a bad sign stid. It shows she really cares about you

8:07 pm

so, will need help on the di words please...

8:08 pm

I have no clue stid. sorry

8:08 pm

hiding in the grid again...

8:08 pm

sounds like minerals, stid

8:08 pm

stid, stidkid #1 is really growing up!

8:08 pm

8:08 pm

thanks ruru!

8:08 pm

thank ruru

8:09 pm

rocks always confuse me, it seems. got the di words

8:09 pm

I'm off to wake Other Half up by cuddling him when I'm freezing cold now. That's par for the course at this time of year in UK, btw. Happy Babbling all.. See you again.x

8:09 pm

yeah... just don't take them for granite stid

8:09 pm

yes, he is! *proud mama look* although at the moment he is learning "the hard way" why I keep at him to not put the dog out without staying at the door...

8:10 pm

8:10 pm

LOL! :-D

8:10 pm

8:11 pm

WHEN I get a job as a teacher, one of the first "maintenance" things on my list (that tom has steadfastly ignored and put off) is to get a fence for the back yard

8:11 pm

my wife has the coldest feet on the planet

8:11 pm

My daughter was in Auschwitz day before yesterday, but she is escaping to the salt mines later. (She's in Poland at present.). Ruru - her feet cannot be colder than mine - ask my Beloved!

8:11 pm

oh! and there are the PY words too! *offers local goat cheese to go with wine*

8:12 pm

they almost disproved Al Gore's theories

Stid I saw that Evaluation Coordinator as EVIL

8:12 pm

I wonder whose scream of shock breaks crystal glasses soonest, my Beloved's or Ruru's?

8:12 pm

I'll take a bet on that jac

8:13 pm

oh! LOL lady -- not this one. Will have to see which one I "draw" for the next quarter...

Trust me I have heard that some cooridaoters are evil

8:13 pm

8:13 pm

8:38 pm

hahah ruru. thanks to all cluers - firewords!

and is it your smallest state ?

way to go, dan

8:44 pm

Our smallest state is Rhode Island Isn't it?

I'm canadian, but I'm pretty sure :-)

our smallest province is P.E.I

8:46 pm

man, I was cruising right along and then wham, gridlock. sigh

8:47 pm

Evening all. May I please have a clue for fr8-55? Thanks

sigh

8:48 pm

smallest state as in size or population?

past tense of 9/84 all to do with what Jack ***** does to your nose

there are 5 of them, all related

size, cos

8:49 pm

size would be rhode island.. population would be wyoming

smallest to me just meant size in this case.

8:49 pm

it is diane

8:49 pm

largest state is alaska for size..and population is california

8:50 pm

Thanks, diane.

hi peach, and you're welcome

8:50 pm

is it wyoming? I would have guessed Delaware, or maybe alaska, again

8:51 pm

wymong. i just googled it.

Oh give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above.....

8:51 pm

wow.

8:51 pm

don't fence me in.,........

8:51 pm

Alaska's population numbers are up just because of the Palins

8:52 pm

... and their hockey players

8:52 pm

LOL ruru! The fact that the Palin sprog is still on DWTS is just so gross.

8:52 pm

is sprog one of the kid's names?

:-) @ trifioso

:-) @ trifioso

:-) @ trifioso

8:52 pm

you guys hear about the guy who shot his tv cause he was mad that palin moved to the finals then threatened to kill his wife leading to a 15 hour stand off with the police?

8:52 pm

ha ha ha ha ha

8:53 pm

seriously? mad brandy fan, I guess....

what happened.... so sorry. It just stuck in my message box

8:53 pm

lol apparently.. he said he was mad thatt bristol made it to the finals and he was sick of sarah palin so ... lol

8:53 pm

hes in jail now :(

8:54 pm

sounds like that is a good place for him! Anyone who would threaten his wife like that is not playing with all his marbles

8:54 pm

ya think cos?

8:54 pm

yes true

8:54 pm

if he didnt thretaen to shoot his wife then he deserves a medal for shooting the tv lol

8:55 pm

thank god Idol wasn't on.. he would have hurt someone

8:55 pm

fr8-55 please.....2nd word from the top, Thanks

8:55 pm

i think it was in wyoming actually

8:55 pm

oh of course he is! he might be a threat to miss palin, and thus locked up tight. If he was just gonna kill his wife they would have let it go. But threated a Palin and you get the mama grizzly, remember?

8:55 pm

a little fr5 before it

8:55 pm

think french

8:56 pm

I thought Sarah shot all the Grizzlies?

8:57 pm

let's send her out to look for more, just in case she missed one

8:57 pm

we should send her out hunting with Dick Cheney as far as I'm concerned

8:58 pm

I think she should film her little 8-wk special for the rest of her life and never have film in the camera so we don't have to hear about or see it!

8:58 pm

(evening all)

8:59 pm

hi pini.. can you see russia from your house?

8:59 pm

that's an emphatic NO! ru!

hi pini :-)

8:59 pm

from what I read today, she is thinking of a presidential run in 2012 and is "sure" she can beat Pres. Obama

8:59 pm

I couldn't even see it when I did live in Alaska!

8:59 pm

hi di

8:59 pm

9:01 pm

9:02 pm

not sure how she can say she'll run if she would prefer 'not to sit in some stuffy political office'...where else would she sit? on an island overlooking russia?

9:02 pm

Thanks much, ruru and diane.

9:02 pm

Tina Fey is going to have a field day with this

yw, peach

9:03 pm

bye RU

9:15 pm

Oh-My-God!!! I cannot believe they gave that crazy bitch Sarah Palin a television show!!! Makes me want to stop watching telly altogether. And really! Run for President? I think she would make an OUTSTANDING greeter at a Wal-mart!

9:16 pm

agreed, gin!

Ging that is too funny

9:26 pm

i think you give Palin an awful lot of credit to have the wits to be a walmart greeter.

9:27 pm

Hello everyone. Anyone got the os8?

9:27 pm

Oh sorry, entered in the midst of a very interesting and funny discussion...

9:27 pm

9:36 pm

I doing well, thanks, feather

9:36 pm

9:36 pm

9:37 pm

lol, how funny, i didn't even notice the ommision

9:37 pm

omission

9:37 pm

whateva

9:37 pm

lol

9:38 pm

hey weed!

9:38 pm

hi dawg! must go see your maxine, haven't looked at that one yet i don't think

9:38 pm

heh, cute

9:39 pm

everyone must be deep in the grid

9:40 pm

I'm just hitting my head against it...

9:40 pm

down to 45 and stuck

9:40 pm

I'm just startin it. Late nite!

9:40 pm

how are the kiddos, feather?

9:40 pm

hey cms

9:41 pm

good. nick is cheekier than ever. daniel's growing up fast.

9:41 pm

Whoa!

9:42 pm

glad to hear it.

9:43 pm

whoa what cms?

9:44 pm

can clue if needed

9:44 pm

Just starting and I usually can rip off a bunch of easy ones but this grid looks like it will be quite a bit harder tonight for me!

9:44 pm

it's not easy after the first 80

9:45 pm

but there are some rather nice words, nicer because they are not common

9:46 pm

"babbling bumbling band of babboons" (yes, we are watching harry potter movie #4) LOVE this line!

9:49 pm

now down to 38 and getting sleepy. *sigh*

9:50 pm

grab the list, stiddy.

9:51 pm

no LBD, the only way I can list nowadays is to flip between screens. my eyesight isn't good enough to do parallel windows... and no expert for mac

9:51 pm

oh bummer. it would make it go so much faster for you.

9:52 pm

it would. I would finish WAY more grids if I still had access to expert

9:53 pm

we really need to get lickety to make expert work on macs

9:53 pm

but in a way it's a much better challenge. I feel so much more accomplished when I DO finish! LOL

9:54 pm

well, Dr God will eventually complete the new site, which level the playing field and will let me play easily on my iDevice

9:54 pm

hi, dawg and stid

9:55 pm

hey seain! (((many hugs and lovely pistachio ice gelato -- my tom won't mind sharing)))

10:00 pm

hi dc. just getting ready to log off and head for the pillows.

10:00 pm

hi again. I've been off priming a wall in the kitchen (rearranged where my stove was; moved it over 2-3 feet; and that wall had never been primed or painted before!) Sein, are you saying tha Dr. God will finally make it easy for Mac users?

10:00 pm

hey nef!

10:00 pm

sweet dreams to all. see you tomorrow. good luck with the grid.

10:01 pm

good night, lbd. Sweet dreams!

10:01 pm

glad you showed up before I sign off -- sounds like a BIG project to me. I have some work to do around the house too, but nothing like that!

10:01 pm

sweet dreams LBD

10:02 pm

tonight, just tired. tomorrow -- more work. Friday -- 4 hours of torture in the quarterly ordeal of "potluck and preview"

10:02 pm

see you-all again soon! *poof*

10:02 pm

Heyas kids ..

10:02 pm

It's not that big of a deal, stid. We got a new stove; so that starts the projects!

10:02 pm

May I please have a clue for ts6-18? Thanks

10:03 pm

Sorry, ga; I don't have it yet

10:03 pm

10:05 pm

10:05 pm

Hey, thanks so much, Nef.

10:06 pm

10:07 pm

10:16 pm

Back again...

10:17 pm

Hi Jellen! How are you tonight?

10:17 pm

I'm doing quite well, thanks...and you?

10:18 pm

10:19 pm

I'm just trying to make it to half-way...my eyes aren't seeing words tonight...

10:20 pm

brb

10:21 pm

well, I just got to half way. I started about 7:30 or 8PM; got to the point I couldn't see any words; then went and primed my one kitchen wall and came back and saw words again.

10:40 pm

Thanks Nef. I could use some help with fo 6/39 please

10:41 pm

10:41 pm

10:46 pm

I still need fo6/39 word please for fireworks, anyone?

10:46 pm

Late hello, jilli!

10:46 pm

Not many of these words are meaningful to me

10:47 pm

the fo 6/39 is 2 word combo, Min. synonim for the number after 3 and what you say when you leave here

10:47 pm

Sorry, Minver--I don't have that one either. :(

10:47 pm

sorry, min, don't have it yet

10:48 pm

I am done! I have fireworks! fo6/39 was my last word

10:48 pm

YAY, MIN!!! WTG!!!!

10:48 pm

Thanks Nef for cluing last few words & your patience.

10:48 pm

Hooray for Min!!!

10:48 pm

(I need to learn how to spell better)

10:48 pm

I hate to get fireworks and leave,but I must goto bed

10:48 pm

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

10:48 pm

Grats!

10:48 pm

min add the second vowel to the one b-4 it

10:49 pm

Min, you suggested and I had to hunt for the words. So I benefitted too! :-)

10:49 pm

Hi, Dindrane

10:49 pm

Howdy, Jellen.

10:49 pm

hi Dindrane

10:52 pm

And hi, Nef. :D

10:52 pm

I love your icon. :-)

10:52 pm

Thanks. :D

10:55 pm

fireworks

10:56 pm

Grats!

10:56 pm

Hooray for jilli!!!

10:56 pm

Nd nobody loves the icons I work hard to research?

10:57 pm

(Sorry -- in a bad mood because of this grid)

10:57 pm

YAY, jilli!!! WTG!!!!

10:57 pm

Congratulations jillibus on your fireworks! Way to go!

10:57 pm

That's interesting, jilli...

10:57 pm

Thanks, you nice people!

10:58 pm

This grid is giving me a headache...

10:58 pm

I like your peace crane a lot, Jilli. :)

10:58 pm

Don't let it, jellen -- just go to morewords, lol! Even then, it's not easy.

10:59 pm

jilli, I'm giving up and going to bed. I do like your origami crane; we used to make them all of the time when my son was young. I just don't keep up with the daily icons so didn't realize what it was!

10:59 pm

G'night, Nef

11:00 pm

Thanks, dindrane. Sometimes I wonder if icon themes should be discontinued.

11:00 pm

Good night All. Happy Babbling!

11:00 pm

See -- people don't even look to see what they're about.

11:01 pm

jilli, *I* don't think that it should be discontinued. Even though I don't participate; when I DO play frequently I learn a lot readingf up about other people's icons

11:01 pm

dan2bit complimented my icon today which was nice.

11:01 pm

I agree with Nef... helps me learn.

11:02 pm

Makes up for the frustration of the game itself. :p

11:02 pm

Even though I do not always follow the theme, I don't think they should be stopped.Especially not on Friday

11:02 pm

Your icon is beautiful, Min

11:02 pm

Thank you jillibus!

11:02 pm

It is!

11:03 pm

Funny -- so often the Rriday grid is so small that everyone finishes without the icon clues which are such fun.

11:03 pm

Makes me want to get back into making stained glass, so I can make something like it.

11:03 pm

On that positive note,I am REALLY of to bed now.Bye

11:03 pm

Night, Min!

11:03 pm

right now I'm at the point of not being able to load my pictures from my camera onto my computer for some reason. I have never learned how to switch icons anywhere; I imported this one from another site I was on (or maybe my son did it for me; I can't remember)

11:05 pm

Nef, if you have images in your My Pictures (or the Mac equivalent) the instructions in your My Account, left side, are quite clear. That's how I learned.

11:06 pm

Anyway, time now for me to see what the next theme is and act accordingly ;)

11:06 pm

AND I'm off to bed too now. Jilli, don't be out of so**s about this grid and the icons etc. I'm kind of slow sometimes and I really need to take some computer classes to learn how to do things

11:07 pm

Good Night (for real this time! <POOF!~!!>

11:08 pm

The coming themes are listed in my profile and the next one is Tea Cosies (I prefer the Brit spelling -- they are a Brit thing, after all) -- see you later...

11:11 pm

I'm out for a while, too. Luck all!

11:24 pm

testing

11:27 pm

test result: FAILED

11:30 pm

nope! A Thanksgiving owl!

11:31 pm

hello dfm...how long have you been babbling?

11:31 pm

hmmm need a drink

11:31 pm

Actively Babbling, had an account, or known about Babble?

11:32 pm

any or all :D I've been around a while but don't chat too much.

11:33 pm

~3 years, 5 years, and 7 years, respectively.

11:33 pm

(this is my first month back after a 1.5-year hiatus)

11:34 pm

wow! And I only saw you a couple of times recently!

11:34 pm

11:37 pm
