Good morning Flask!
good morning everyone am back at work but have found some time to pop in here lol :)
Hallo Jean. I think Flask has fallen asleep since saying good morning!
Lol all the christmas activities I expect lol
Sorry am here...lol
I was side-tracked there for a wee while....didn't mean to be rude!
Lol hello Flask:)
Hi Sally and Jean....
whats the grid like?
Yesterdays was an absolute treat....fair enjoyed it, so I did!
not too bad flask although I am out of practise I dont get in here as often as I would lIke
Well the trouble is, if you let it, it can take up your whole day, and with me it invariably does!!
I know it certainly can:)
Right I better get on with a little work:) may have a chance to pop by later, Happy Babbling:)
Ok, take care Jean....
Sorry, stepped away because window cleaner arrived. Grid is great so far, Flask.
Oh good!
tempt
Oooh noooooooooo.....
Hi Flask & Sally - and anyone else I can't see
hello everyone
The window cleaner ... a likely story! Hi Sally and Flask.
Hiya Lynxxx and Annie!
hi Annie & FM
He kissed me too. That's a first!
keep going Flask (TY)
Hi Flask, lynxxxxie, FM!
Good morning FM.
That did enter my head too Mitch..lolol
and Sally!
Sally!
Hello hello! Just tell me that the grid is better than yesterdays, I really struggled with it.
There was a reason :-)
The grid is great so far.
bbs
I knew it! Just wait till I tell Haz :)
I just email Lickety about yesterdays extra word which was shazam.
*emailed
Good thinking Annie, I eant to do that yesterday and forgot.
So did I and forgot also. If he reads the email maybe we can get his marvelous list.
This is a fun grid so far
I have been working this morning but shall dive in and give the grid a go.
now.
By the way, so that my name isn't taken in vain, window cleaner kissed me because it's my birthday!
Oh Happy Birthday Sally - you kept that quiet!!!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SALLY !!!!!
oh Sally, how sweet! Happy Birthday to you - hope you get a lot more kisses!
Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional.
Got anything planned?
Quiet day then being taken out to special meal by husgood tonight.
Lovely :)
lol re your 5.48 post.
Happy birthday Sally!!...XX
I love birthdays! Of course am just a big kid, at heart!!
So am I Flask!
Lots of lovely cards to open this morning. Seems to be a theme of cats or chickens, can't think why :-)
Phone, back in a bit.
:-)
lucky girl....you're obviously very popular!
*waving across the pond* Hello Babble buddies!
*waves at Scrabs whilst on the phone*
phone
hi Scrabs
You made my day, FM, by using the word "whilst."
Hiya Scrabbler...."waving back"!
*grin* will be back as soon as I can.
Hi Lynxxx.
BRB, must grab breakfast.
Where is everybody?
still here just waiting for you to get back
I'm here, just come off phone.
I am back with oatmeal. I can stay another 5 min or so.
I'm off the phone too but have to go and do some work stuff - don't they know this is my babble time?!
What a cheek they have Mich!!!!....lol
Do they know that you are playing Babble?
lol, not going to tell a client that secret Scrabs :)
sept
Just spent five minutes searching for word I already have. Sigh.
well there's another for yoyu!!
I already have that, Flask, and Sally, I often do that.
I didn't have that!
Oh well....ah'll try better next time!!
It was a wee b/day pressie from me to Sally~!!...lol
I do object to the singular of the childhood disease. Even if you only have one, you never call it by the singular name surely!
It's your birthday, Sally?
It was very wee, Flask. Can you make it a 7-letter high scoring one next time?
Scrabbler would be the expert here.
the plural is there.....
my 3 7s are all compound with same last 4 letter word
Oh I have no 7's or 6's....driving me mad!
Yes, I have the plural as well. It's the singular word I object to!
Aha, I had missed that word, and I agree that the singular is silly, like "measle."
I have five of the 7s.
Oh I see....sorry.....any clues Lynxxx for the 7's please?
sp6 = a different way to say that some has rotted
There you are, I bow to your expert advice Flask.
or even Sally!
st6==puts one's foot down repeatedly
em 7/36, start like not full minus the last letter, then add another word for cans
sorry - actually only 2 end with the word opp of least
st6= plural of devices one can walk with to be taller
the pe7 is perhaps a dog that needs the most pats
li 7/32, like the li 6 but add a vowel
Hi all, the clues are flying here to fast for me, off to make a cup of coffee and I'll be back in a bit.
I don't have time to figure out those last 2 clues. I mu4 get ready for work. Bye all. Enjoy the day!
how many letters in the k please?
bye!
bye Scrabs - hope you have a quiet day
kh4.9 frog
ty lyn xx
kh4.9 kh4.9 to you too frog
Sally is there another clue for li6..li7 please?
li 6 means lithe, agile
I can clue it better if you need.
hi all
happy birthday sally
hi jmc!
got it thanks!
Hi jmc - and thanks!
too much hot air in DC jmc?
Then add a vowel for the 7 Flask, assume it is alt spelling
oh, sally, are we birthday twins! Happy one to YOU!
Hi JMC
happy birthday une!
Your birthday too une? Happy mutual birthday!

Not yet Trif, just a young'un
oh I remember you hailey

i think so you were talking about your school a while
well done!
trif :-P I am struggling here
i have 179 to go
go hailey go!
wtg trif
thanks
oh, hey, that reminds me -- what ever happened to that nice young girl who used to babble awhile back? trying to remember her name....she was english, I think, and was going to be in hamlet at school....any one else remember her?
how many words do u have to go
i have 153 left
hmm doesn't ring a bell with me trif
help me please
what letter do you need help with
all
stats for the bottom left T please
lol hailey you will have to be more select than that to ask for a clue
lol you have made a rod for your back there jmc :)
did u get pets
do you have the ugly word for poop?
jmc, tu 4, you find on an elephant
no i am 9 years old
hailey, you should not write the words in this chat box.
lol sally i am dumb sometimes!
no ty you haily
i dont know what it is
oh okay but you know what the elephant has that they just clued fo rme
then there's a word which is very local to here which is tu 4/7, sounds like what's on a camel and means a small hill (and plural)
u spelled my name wrong jmcnrick it is hailey
hailey unless you are a nine year old which never watches movies i find that hard to believe
sorry hailey
i watch movies
nbt
Personally, I think Trif was right about bridge issues.
and tu 4/6 which is a lake district word for a male sheep (plural)
then you know the ugly word for poop
I am starting to think that myself, molly
eh i will probably concede but i think we jump to that conclusion too quickly sometimes
i do not know give me other hint
goodness sally I guess I will have to come to GB just to learn enough words for babble!
:-) Nice to see so many British ones for a change!
Bob's your uncle Sally! : P
I really fall over the US spellings sometimes, like odor, flavor
lol molly
do you have the traffic st4 sign?
and, in other news, OMG I think the puppy we adopted is half black lab, half CLIFFORD -- he is growing exponentially, and I cannot get enough food into him! lololol. he is very cute, but really getting big fast!
mu4 multiple british mothers
Well the tu 4/7 is a word I only learnt when we came to Shropshire.
i think u do not want me any more
Time to move to Birdwell Island Trif.
i am giving you clues hailey
wonder what Birdwell did with all Clifford's dumps? they never showed THAT on the show!
and remember to add S to any word you find just in case hailey
Um...that's why no one swims at the Birdwell beaches Trif. : P
lol trif!
rolf molly
*Sigh* I miss John Ritter.
good morning Babblers :)
I think Birdwell was such a clever name for that island....the author of the original Clifford books was named Bridwell
Ah, fun fact I did not know Trif.
u are
I am such a word nerd....love stuff like that
help me
Hi Nono....
mo4=be sulky
mo5=plural
hailey, there is a help button at the top which will show you how to play, but this is really a game for adults with a big vocabulary so you may find it a bit difficult.
hi nono
u hate me
and it's bridge!
am still following the progress of our local high school band on their jouney to London. Because of the storm it is taking them forever to get the entire band there.
lol Sally I was just about to say the same thing.
The li 7 word is bizarre.
i concede here
Think you are right trif
i can't quit get the li7 word
We don't hate you hailey but this chat/game is not really suitable for a child.
nono, are they really still not there? how stressful! but imagining them coming on stage one at a time as they fly in is sort of fun....
There are two li7 words
Who is that trap, trap, trapping?
I think we have a troll. Anyway, what is the o on the far right, for NBT?
some are there Trif but some still waiting for a flight out of NYC
trifioso i found 10 words today
its the ou 7/36 kap
ou 7/36
good job hailey!
Sorry Sally, I meant li 7.28.
ou7/36 a compound word
wtg hailey
TY.
They were to have a couple of days for sight seeing on their own but that part will not happen now. These kids worked so hard for this trip its sad
It's a figure of speech meaning an understatement, and you could say a typically British way of talking. li plus kind of carry bag, plural
my boys girlfriends dad drove her and her sister down from nyc to dc so the sister could get a flight back to chicago
tanks and good bye .......poof.....i will come back soon
nono, could they tack a couple of days on to the other end
bye hailey
Can't wait ...
Yes, I already have the word. I just think it's strange.
bye...poof
then they would have the same nitemare of scheduling flights home Trif.
oh dear, nono
sally what are you cluing?
Oh sorry, Molly. I am lucky in that I studied grammar quite extensively at school which I think doesn't happen now.
i will play soon
jmc, the li 7/28
ok...I have em7/36...li7/32...ou7/36...pe7/36 and to7/36.....anyone know what am missing please?
sally, did you used to diagram sentences? we were just talking of that the other day at work. NO ONE does that anymore!
morning...is there a list somewhere?
oh ty then sally (not that I have found it)
at least they have been comfortable while waiting in NYC. The airline put them up in a very nice hotel and they have been well taken care of.
hi kim
no list...
Volley has one in her profile
thanks
there are worse places than nyc to get stranded
diagramming sentences...cripes I hated that
Gosh, can't remember Trif. But I did English to A level (whatever the equivalent is in US, it was exam taken at aged 18)
up 7/36 (pl of up6/24)
okay i am off to get some things done
true jmc! and because the delays are weather related the airline did not have to accomodate them but they did
would have left earlier but felt i couldn't leave once i encouraged hailey
hi bye rbud
2 li 7's
bye all
bye jmc
bye jmc
thanx RBUD
I am curious about how young kids find Babble?
bye JMC
Ruby, I diagrammed sentences.
I did too, Ruby, but not as extensively as some examples I have seen. It can get REALLY complicated!
Possibly parents who have been on and are no longer interested....but still have the programme!
the em7 plz
OK, gotta get dressed and face the day...
oh Lord, I remember diagraming sentences. We had an english teacher who demanded perfection in that
em 7/36" start with not full, minus the last letter, then four letter word as alternative to cans (what you store food in)
here is a good example of a brilliant sentence diagram: http://tinyurl.com/283rt37
ty sally
We didn't do anything like that that I remember, Trif, think that may be a particularly American way of teaching.
wow, Trif, that's really something!
holy moly, I'm glad I never had to diagram that one :)
Oh my God. I'm right back in 8th grade with Sister Anicetus.
(ok, now remember, I am a self-confessed word nerd...) I rather wish I had the skills to do that. It is sort of beautiful in it's structure....almost like a chemical expression
uh, hate to admit it, but I agree, Trif - fun to follow it around. (I might be a closet word nerd of sorts, lol!)
ummm - love you rbud, but I have had quite enough coming out of closets for a good while, dear.
my big phantom to day is "misanthrope" -- how funny is THAT!
mt
"isotope" wants to be there as well
Trif, someone who posts on a message board I visit has the username Miss Anthrope. I love it.
good morning grant! all shoveled out down your way?
and it looks like you have power?
great name molly! would be a good drag queen moniker as well...."Hedda Lettuce" is one I love
morning Grant
yes on both fronts
well done you, grant!
Good morning, all!
up 6/24 last one
glad we don't live in Scituate
gm trentsnana, you gorgeous stack of pancakes, you!
lol
you are so funny, Trif
amen to THAT grant! oh, those poor people! but seriously who thought it was a grand idea to build those houses out on that teeny little strip of land out there?
you think I'm beautiful because we've been through the same experience - we're joined at the hip because of our "exes".....
hubris?
I'm pretty sure it was you.....right?
I think you are beautiful because I saw those wedding photos!!!
you are so sweet, Trif
I can't remember the name of the beach I mean, but I think you know the one -- you see the houses as you go down the driftway towards the center of Scituate. I am sure they are nice in the summer, but most of them look like they were built by the second little pig
Bichon up and to gently throw a ball
don't build your house on the sandy land don't build it too near the shore well it might look kind of nice but you'll have to build it twice oh you'll have to build your house once more
and yes, trents, I think we do have our exes situations in common. thriling!
It's a bad thing to go through, but you'll come out at the end just fine. I met a wonderful man and have now been married for 28 years.
peggotty beach- (probably not a reference to Dickens)
oh, it writes it's own jokes at the moment. The kids told me they about died laughing at christmas, as mr hate and the roomie bought themselves a karaoke machine, and serenaded the kids with a duet on the day....wait for it....."dancing queen" I mean -- really?
ty Joanne, but that's not the one I need after all. I need the one before it. The one after being in a sad, unhappy state
OMG - that is soooo funny.
ut 6/24??
and they are going on a cruise to the carribbean too. How fun!
to the nth degree= ut
My son is gay, too, so it didn't quit after the divorce! But I've learn to accept and forget.
no, I have the up 6/27 and the 5/14. The 6 after that
I hate to sound cliche, or homophobic, but....seriously?
ut 6/24 just like the 6/27, only first consonant is different
ut 6/24 just like the 6/27, only first consonant is different
up and tip the board slightly
No, I have the ut. It's the up 6/24, the first one I need
oops - why does that repeat?
Greetings Babblers. Is there a list lingering somewhere??
tip the board slightly?
anyway, you learn to forgive and forget - it's sooo hard at first
used to be a carnival ride ti.. a whirl
Hi SMD
bichon: think of windmills and Don Quixote
I just keep finding things funny, trents....well, that or terribly sad. I mean, how lovely they are going on a cruise, but um....hello? poverty here....
Hello Flask
Got it ty
I know - my ex is STILL in horrible debt. Living waaaay beyond his means. Oh well, his problem and not mine!
ugh, have to get ready for work soon. I mean, I am happy to have a job to go too, but the couple of days off around the holiday have been looooovely
we are rather the other way, trents. he is living it up, I am scraping by
I always hated going back to work after the holidays!
there is a list on somebody's profile....just can't remember who's....not helpful, sorry..:-(
I'm retired now, but starting to get a little bored. May have to get a part-time job or do some volunteering.
I did see some good job listings recently, but they are mostly in the city, and that is such a hellish commute, no matter which way you go, car, boat or train
oh, I see, trif. that is NOT fair.
hi Babblers.. volleymomdee has a list
what did you retire from, trents?
I was the same way until I met my husband. He didn't pay hardly ANY child support, but lived high on the hog himself.
Hi Aloy
I worked for county government. The last ten years I worked in accounting at the juvenile court.
aloy, is that your granddaughter? she is beautiful!!! look at those eyes! I am thinking she could kick up some mischief if she wanted!
When I got my divorce, though, I wasn't working. Got a job at a law office. Worked there for 5 years and then got the job at the county after I was remarried.
Worked 25 years and retired.
hi Flask.. grid is going quickly, (-:
good morning all
Any clue with the "O" in the last column?
hi teach
hi Trif.. yes, that is my 3 yr old granddaughter and you have accurately read those hazel eyes!
she is absolutely adorable!
ou 7 36, trents. farthest away
ty, Trif.. she is treasured
could be quicker, Aloy...lol
thnx trif
wow, trents, interesting career path, well done! I am encouraged. I was at home for 15 years, and have been lucky to find work at all. And i do love my work, but I get paid next to nothing, and enrollments are way down, so I am in a pickle now.
So, Aloyisius, can you tell us your REAL first name?
Trif, I just spewed water laughing at The Karoke Dancing Queen thing. Ahahahahahaha!
Well, now is a bad time to be going through what you're going through. The job market stinks. Hopefully, it will pick up this year. Any chance of getting grants and going back to school?
glad to have cheered, molly. I mean, how could I not laugh? But I did feel like maybe I shouldn't have....not in front of the kids anyway, or I should have scolded them for laughing, or I don't know what
That WAS funny, wasn't it, Molly?
takes me a while... h'mm, trent.. you don't believe Aloyisius? LOL.. can tell you it starts with an A and ends with an a
Look, I don't care what side of the sex option you're on. Anyone singing ABBA on Karaoke is laughable.
It's hard, Trif. You want to be respectful of their father, but there is a lot of anger there and it's tough.
Andrea?
Amelia?
Alesha?
maybe trents. would help if I had a clue what I wanted to do. Need to find a creative, interesting job that pays tons but allows me to set my own hours so I can put the kids first. Form an orderly queue, prospective employers! oh, and I will need all school vacations and summers off.
annie?
close enough.. are you on FB? I joined the Babble group on FB
Too bad you're not a school teacher. Great job for mothers.
Yes, I am on FB.
LOL molly! And i agree trents, but I also am a huge believer in two things - 1) being able to laugh at yourself, and 2) yes, fathers should be respected, but the need to be fathers worthy of respect
That's true.
*they need
(-: one of your guesses is correct.. reminds me of that fairy tale.. what was it? Rumpelstiltskin!
andrea?
btw, thnks for the clue, Trif
I'll cast my vote for Amelia.
(-: yup
oh, dear - who gets the yup, me or molly?
you do
:)
It's funny how you associate names - there was a girl named Andrea in my class when I was in like the 1st or 2nd grade. She was kind of a tomboy and was always threatening to beat me up - ha!!
every single boy I ever dated that broke up with me for another girl always, always broke up with me for a "debbie" ....still not a fave
I'm sure you're much nicer than her, Aloy!!
I was also a tomboy, but not an aggressive one.. I just liked sports and climbing trees and being outside as much as possible
still climb trees, lol
oh, aloy, come out to NE for vacation, and i will take you to visit one of the Newport Mansions in Rhode Island. It is called the Elms, and it has THE most amazing weeping beech trees EVER
It's going to be 35 here today, but only 7 tomorrow. Supposed to get a foot of snow, too. Ugh.
big ugh!
i think it is only about 13 here today. everything is frozen solid
I don't climb trees anymore, but do love to do outdoor things. Like hiking, camping, biking, and hunting.
Hope this doesn't come your way!
ooh, you may have to restrain me, Trif.. (-: sounds wonderful
Are you in Florida for the winter, Aloy?
yes, and we had another bad freeze last night.. not good for crops and citrus and other living things, sigh
but warming, starting today, whew
oh I tell a lie...it's 30 degrees, with freezing drizzle in the forecast. excellent
Hubby and I will be in Punta Gorda from Jan 16-22nd. Visiting my dad and stepmom. They rent a place there for three months every winter.
Ugh - would rather have the snow than the freezing drizzle.
trents, you come too! the gardens at the elms are lovely, and you can hold the del's lemonade while aloy and I climb, and then help us talk our way out of it when the guards catch us!
well, we need to get in touch, trent.. you will be VERY close to us
Hope the weather straightens out down there by the time we get there! Trying to escape the cold...
alarm going off....ignoring it...
LOL, Trif. Sounds like a plan.
Wish you didn't have to go to work!!
write me at chnops@windstream.net, trent.. would enjoy meeting a babbler!
How far away is it?
stones throw, seriously
such an exciting day, me - work in the morning, and then a filling replacement at the dentists after. wheeee
we use the PG post office
had that done a few weeks ago, Trif - yuck
trying to get all these things done before my insurance runs out in february....
we'll have to see how it works out
did you have to have novacaine?
we are supposed to meet up with a few people while there
okie dokie
yes, I did, Trif - mouth (and nose) were frozen for hours - ha!
but it sounds good, Aloy
wish we had more time
bummer. I hate novacaine. HATE it
I wrote down your e-mail
we cancelled our dental insurance - it was going to almost double per month
good.. I'll do a sun dance for you
I am not going to get it again once my insurance runs out. i will just have to pay cash for what i need
brb, someone drank my coffee again
us, too - we figured if we put away what we've already been paying each month, it will about pay for it
I just hope I remember to be good with cleanings and all. the fry still have dental, so I will just schedule cleanings when they go, and that should remind me
I am so lazy with check ups and mammos and things like that. Therapy though? Every week, amen and amen!!! LOL
therapy - the best thing for what you're going through
I did not have it at the time, but went later to deal with some of it
that does remind me though, I do need a full check up, before the insurance runs out. fun times! probably find a few cobwebs you-know-where! TMI? LOLOLOL
I was only 24 when it all started and the kids were 3 and 6.
ugh.
LOL, Trif.
Hate those appointments, too. But then, do you know any women who can't wait to go?
me, oh I can't wait to go
hahahaha
wish I could have them every month
you are so inspiring to me, trents. I love knowing that not only can someone survive, but they can thrive. and you found love again, which is really encouraging. right now, I want nothing to do with that. but maybe someday
sorry to be eavesdropping
hmmm. alem, who does YOUR doctor look like? hugh jackman?
yes, Trif, you will be fine - better than fine
no apology needed, alem - it was funny
was just kidding about the mammos etc. But I do agree about the therapy. I was sad when my therapist told me that he thought I was doing much better and didn't need to come back except on an as needed basis
I used to have a pretty good looking gynecologist, but it didn't change my attitude about checkups.
Probably even more self-conscious!
Therapy is good for anyone. Always feels good to unload on someone else.
i actually found myself feeling sorry for the roomie the other day....I mean, let's consider -- mr hate lied to me about everything for two years straight. do we really think I am the only one he lies to? poor roomie. they are basically doomed, aren't they?
Probably - once a liar, always a liar, is what I say.
my other fave-- quote my mom "if he did it with you, he will do it to you"
ONCE a liar? does that mean you've NEVER lied?
Tri, just came in on this so I don't know the back story but I was lied to for 10 years and 4 years out, nothing for him has lasted . . . including (and especially) the one he left our family for
hey there hurshy!
I mean a pathological type of liar.
wow alem. sorry to hear, but it sounds like you are better off now
MUCH MUCH better.
Trif and I had our hubbies leave for another male....how can you compete with that?
I think it is more than just lying. there is also not being able to confront the truth, ever. it's so weird.
We didn't have the right equipment to compete - ha!!
I don't want to compete, trents. I just want to rest.
I really didn't want to complete, either, but wouldn't have been able to if I did.
Oh, that stings . . . I had theories about that with my situation also . . . since he always goes for the unavailable woman . . . so he can idealize her but doesn't have to have any icky sex
Most gays and lesbians now are "coming out" and not living lies like our exes did.
But he denies that . . .
Sounds like a good theory, alem.
Tertiare is coming into my work today, for some educational testing, which they were nice enough to comp for us. And mr hate is dropping her off, about an hour before I am scheduled to be in. I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall for THAT! These women have heard all about mr hate for months now, and here is, walking in....tee hee
but you are okay now, alem, yes?
I would rather, if one of my kids does turn out to be gay, that they never have to come out. they just are who they are, and never try to hide it.
Yes. Actually being out of the lie and disrespect filled atmosphere resulted in almost immediate improvement . . . although much pain
((((alem))))) big hug!
Tri, my 8 yo son has already asked what I would do if he was gay and I said "love you just the same"
kick me off here in five more minutes, okay?
well done, alem!!! great answer!
not sure if he's thinking he is, or if it's just so much in the media that it's on his mind
last thing I would want is for either of my kids to feel like they had to hurt other people constructing a false identity. . .
my theory is that your son is around the age when they start to notice that people come in different flavors at all. I swear, kids don't even notice boy vs girl before then
I had a friend in college, who, as a child, asked his mom what masturbation was. She told him, and then added "of course, if you do that, Walt will come looking for you!" Who is walt? he asked...."Walt Disney, looking for another fairy!" Can you IMAGINE telling a child that? Ignorant cow! And she was a nurse!!!
My son came out just before college. He is not ashamed of it and does not make excuses for it. I say "you go"! He's a wonderful young man, graduated from Harvard Law School, was in the Peace Corps, and has accomplished more in his 35 years than a lot of people will in their lifetime. He's very interesting and a thoughtful, caring individual. THAT'S what counts.
That WAS ignorant, Trif.
wow, trents! Does he have a partner, or is he single?
see, I don't care what flavor my kids are when they grow up, but I wish they would know love in their lives. Not sex, LOVE. To love, and to be loved in return
I am happy that people are slowly but surely changing their attitudes toward gays. They are people, too. I truly believe it is determined at birth. My son said he knew he was gay by the time he was five - and he didn't even know what sex was! So, explain that.
He has a wonderful partner. A young man from Thailand. We absolutely adore him.
Tri, you are officially kicked off. I am also leaving. Trent & Tri, good luck with everything, hope 2011 is full of LESS drama and more peace, prosperity, & word games (of the fun kind not the manipulative kind). Trents you must be so proud of your son. Tri, I totally agree. That's what I pray for, for my kids. And myself, for that matter . . . if everyone had more love in their lives maybe there would be less of all the bad stuff, all over. Goodbye, have a great day you 2.
You've got that right, Alem - thank you!
I agree with you trents, and more and more medical science agrees with you too. I wonder what the crazy christians will do, once it has been established without a doubt that it is a scientific structure, and not a "lifestyle choice"
thanks alem!!! can't be late!
I don't know - but I'm glad things are changing.
Have a great day, Trif.
...and I had already forgotten that I had aksed!

hi Haz.....
Flask, I can access, but the profile comes up BEHIND the babble screen, so try minimizing.. might be there?
everything is covered with lovely snow but my dog has found mud someplace, is black up to her ankles!
Hello Flask - it's a shame about the profiles. Has Dr-G anything to say about it or have you not told him about it?

I have seen the movie "Sneakers" a dozen times and the word po5/12 often eludes me in these grids.
a interesting offering with about 54% alcohol and we are not liable for memory loss...

mmm whiskey pour me a glass please crossy
you can taste the oak from the barrels...mmm
Dame Edna's famous saying is almost in the grid
what saying is that?
Hello Possums
my saying may also be in this grid but i cannot say it or dr_g will banish me to the seventh circle of hell,either that or the planet of puppies with weak bladders....
that's the saying? hello possums? hmmmm
do what i do erda to keep going with the hard grids,i size my screen so i cannot see the word or point totals,so untill someone blurts it out in chat,i can delude myself into thinking i am doing well;))
she calls her audience possums
I think Pottish should be a word

hi all, closing in on nbt

old spice?

BRut?
Snap, Gwen :-)

Old Spice was way before the '70's Gwen. Old Spice was my Dad's cologne.
stetso?
n
lol
i don't understand -- was it not still around in the 70s? and was it not still vile?
I'm thinking of **** for Men.
Old Spice was my grandpa's cologne and he was wearing it in the 50's and 60's, I'm quite sure.
Hi again, everyone.
she's think the ox
Old spice has been around since the War
my dad wears old spice - it smells good on him
Was very popular in the 70s here too.
Old Spice still comes in the ship bottle. I love it.
he is a retired navy guy - it is like their sigature scent - LOL
As for Brute33 that was brutal.
< --- allergic to most artificial scents
Wonder why they had `33` on the end of Brute?
crossy wears old spice sport
anyone have the stats for the lone O near bottom right corner?
Has it made you more sporty...lol
a real nasty one was HI-Karate
ou7 compund word, Gwen.
It's a 7 and a compound word, Gwen
compound*

just spoiled by lickety - hate the back and forth with usual lists
Who has a list?
We are all going to be lost when the new Babble comes up with no Lickety permanently.
hoot said oe is i her profile
going there now
Okay, got it, thnx
the new babble has a built in lickety type tab that you can bring up,or leave be as needed
really? no Lickety? Is that why he is hit or miss?
seems it will make poor lickety redundant
sounds like DrGod is taking back his baby
em7?
and it may have adverts;/ but he must make a buck
sic transit Babble...
em + letter + metal
as long as it isn't those *%&^% popups that cover the screen! I think I am gonna leave yahoo because of that!
people still use yahoo??? lol
i have a pop up blocker regardless
is the last up6.24 another word for regurgitate?
so do I. Doesn't work on them! And moved to yahoo from another site when ATT took it over. May have to move all to Google now
ty lbd

Cross, I know you dislike Yahoo, but it is in the top five browser home pages.
a good one hootowl is called spy-bot search and destroy

Hello, Shelly :-)

just one more royal PITA for me!

a irritant to the tushie:)
i have used monzillia firefox for years
done!
my brother uses google chrome
yayayay lbd!
yaa for lbd!!
wtg dawg !!!! ~~~~ !!!!
I'm on it now. Babble doesn't work the same on Yahoo
ty, ty. now must go bundle up and shovel snow.
to7?
i used diff browsers for diff jobs. chrome for farmville (sorry to mention!), safari for wordsplay.net, firefox for business, and IE only if all other browsers fail
nm
lol gwen,you are covered for everything
though I.E recently won an award...it is now the top browser for loading other browsers!!!! lol
agree, IE does download stuff pretty fast
then once you have another browser loaded you can banish it to the smallest space you can find
i used to blog and if i used any browser other than IE it would look all kooky, so it was only IE for blogging, but i don't really blog anymore, so . . .
gates should just get it over with and buy firefox
AAAAAAACCKKKKKK NOOOOOOOOOO!!
lol
well this is really his cmp (mine died ages ago) so I am not gonna play with it.
Gates owes every man woman and child thousands of dollars for lost time and productivity for farting around with his purposefully-badly-designed-and-hard-t o-use stuff!
NOOOOOOOOO - Firefox should buy micro. THEN put it out of ut's miserty
god bless and forever keep firefox;)
lol hoot
just one word: F.U.D.
what I always loved was US having to debug new stuff. (expletive to your imagination!)
vista was crap,win 7 is warmed over crap...i still use xp for this computer
i went from 98se to xp lol
The funny think is years a go, when I was on a DIY chat, the firefox guys were always complaining about it's limits. Guess it grew up!
but only after the second patch was out lol
firefox is 3.0 and a big boy now;)
compare database from Microshaft with database for macs (now called Firelamker Pro): mac software has unlimited field sizes, easy to run searches, easy to add a new field, easy to do a new layout. Can't do any of that with MS Access
I have xp - may go to Apple if this one goes
(ack, Filemaker Pro)
and if we can afford it...
clues please for sp5/16 and 5/20 please??
i have one program built on top of MS Access and it has taken me years to get familiar with it
as long as they support the updates for xp hoot,i will continue to use it
XP is no longer supported by MS
went out of support 6 mos after Win7 release
last i saw it was....
sp5,16 , think of a fountain of water
i had an update last month
sp7?
well, work to do, gonna fly now POINK
bye bye
interesting. i wonder if they changed policy, or if the 6 mos is not up yet.
One thing that truly annoys me is shutting down and it telling me it's updating! No notice - no choice!
here u go dc,right from the horses mouth....
http://www.myce.com/news/windows-7-dow ngrade-to-xp-supported-through-2020-31 887/
nifty, they changed policy from initial announcement then. thanks, crossy
a sp (dot + a bright light past tense?
glad to help,xp is still a viable easy to use os,that is not all messed up by the dumbing down attempt of win 7
you know the joke "how much space does win 7 use?" ...all it can find!!! lol
Win7 is not awful -- it's effectively what WinME should have been.
indeed. though we said that about XP when it came out, too
win me...shudder
ty ru
yw :)
is there a list anywhere
thats why i sat with 98 se all the way through till they had sp2 for xp out
My first (and only) cp was an MR a friend gave me. Loved it. Did everything I asked. But it was old and finally died...
hootowl has one

Good morning all. Is there a list today?
hello helensgirlkid (great name, btw)
I could be libbiesgirlkid
I still don't even have half
It was one of those names you come up with when you're setting up a new computer - mostly they disappear from use (if your lucky!), but this one works OK.
I love it, wish I had thought of that. Using my dog's name isn't exactly original....
why aren't mosh and shiso accepted?
enable accepts miso.....
yay, half!
1 left ... anyone have the to 7/36? pls and thanks
I think mosh is too recent for Dr. God's dictionarist - I'm always surprised to find it accepts nerd!
op of bottom least
and geek....hahah
no way!! Thanks, crossy -- got it!
great clue, crossy {{XX}}
yaa for ch!!
Good Afternoon, Everybody! I keep forgetting to close my computer down; wish I was an insomniac and then I could have been working on this grid already.
:)
yay ch1212
hello nef. I hope you had a lovely holiday!
clues needed before the garage door installer arrives?
too many needed, but thanks, ch!
Well okay then --- have fun everyone! *poof*
hi ruby. We had a very nice Christmas; but also got a lot more snow. And we are expecting even more this coming weekend
I am pretending that our snow is basically over; 4 ft in Dec was very unusual
he, we've had a dense cloud on us all day, you can barely see the street and not the lake or mountains, but, fortunately, no precipitation
you too??? We have set a new record for December snow here in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN).
and the arena collapsed! WAY too much snow for you
We have sunshine today for the first time in over a week at least (I can't remember the last sunny day we had)
this was the most snow in France since 1957!
Well, it *was* an inflatable roof on the dome. After 30 years, it's not that bad an average (it had partially collapsed back in 1982-83 too
I don't really mind it because we're out in the country. As long as there is food and grog in the house, no problem
when I lived in Binghamton NY, the arena they were building collapsed under the weight of snow BEFORE it was completed!
true. However, the big problems people are having now is ice dams on the roofs. I hired a guy to come get some snow off our roof yesterday; it's over waist deep on the south side of the roof and the weight is a concern
stay in the house!!!!
when the snow comes off our roof, it usually hurts the little Japanese maples
My friend has a snow drift covering her 2nd story bedroom window (south-facing) on her roof
wow!
speaking of roofs (rooves?), French roof and plural
the pile of snow in our front yard keeps getting deeper and deeper from digging out the drive way. Right ow it's taller than my Toyota RAV-4 by the front door/driveway. And we've been able to have friends who've come to dig us out.
that is a lot of snow, nef!
<wishing I knew even ONE foreign language!>
clue for mo6/21 please?
necessity and all that!
plurall of mo***
which makes no sense to me
got it thanx!
hi all
hello boo
hi boo
hello all
where is there a list pls
nef, if you lived here for a year, you'd be speaking French. Nobody here speaks English, so there's no choice
hi peri
VolleyMomDee Peri
ok will check the rankings, ty Molly
hello again, molly. Now there is leftover spicy whole wheat pasta
hi boo, Flask, peri, Molly, and all
I'm hoping the leftover capon will fly away (it's outside)
can capons still fly?
is it alive?
best way to learn ruby :)
no, I was kidding. I offered leftover capon to molly before and she said "No way after 2 days!"
I just don't want to deal with it
freeze it then
too late, I'm afraid
it's been outside since Christmas
no critters
oh. Then you *have* to deal with it before it stinks!
no critters have gotten to it?
fortunately, it's cold!
no critters here; the French have eaten all the critters
Ruby, do something about that capon before it morphs into a gooey blob and attacks your house. : D
if it were here many a wild critter would have got it
they ate all the racoons as well? lol
and some domestic ones too
ruby how long have you be in France and how did you end up there?
it is so cold here, if I take care of it before March, it will be OK!
13 years and it was a new start for us, bluebeard having been married a lot before
ok\
raton laveurs -- they have a word but none of the animals
lol! do not open that door ruby!!
there are almost no animals here: vipers, coulouvre (the only snakes), wild boar, foxes and chamois
foxes may enjoy you capon;)
my neighbor goes to the abattoir and gets food for them
15 more or so and i can list;)
Abattoir...ew.
it's on the other side of the lake....
(((hugs all))) I am trying to get some actual school-related work done today, but wanted to pop in and see how folks are doing while I wait for something to print.
grid is going well now,just mash together all the make believe 4 letter words you can dream up;)
((stidmama))
{{stidmama}} somebody said it was 3 kings day
bonjour chere ruby! comment ca va?
ohh don't remind me. i have a huge box of papers to grade!
no. three kings day is January 6.
hi stid
it's the same day as orthodox christmas
aaah
hey boo!
give everyone a c and our yourself a drambue;)
hi stid
pour
LOL onyx! this is me, getting ready to write a meta-analysis on a topic I am not particularly interested in... *sigh*
sounds good to me!
go cross go! *puts bacon in PB*
sounds dreary stid
okay, my printing is done. going to get up and get going. wish me luck! *hugs and poof*
would grand marnier be OK, don't have any drambuie.....
I think the after-dinner drinks in the PB sound awfully good
anything with alcohol!
grand marnier is good hooch as well;)
if you are passing by, our supply is excellent, onyx!
especially with crepes suzettes!
and what, exactly, would be bad hooch?
mmmm crepes....
not sure ruby,have not found any yet
specialite de la maison!
tequila! bad bad hooch
specialty of the house...mmm
nah onyx,just chase it with whiskey
onyx, have you ever tried Herradura (sp?)
you funny cross
and Cuervo Gold with orange juice?
To me, any hooch that has you hugging the toilet the next day is bad hooch (which is ALL hooch to me! I have no tolerance for booze)
after 3 tequilia,s and whiskeys,i am a riot;)
ptosis
oops, sorry
No i don't get on very well with tequila. makes me sick to the stomach
my eyelid drooped!
nef,i could make you a long island iced tea that would go down like silk....
thanks, ruby! ;-)
Tequila sunrise...yummy!
I'm sorry, is there anything good in the PB?
baco,and crepes and barrel wash so far lol
Merry Christmas (late) SeaSpray!!! How are you feeling these days?
crossy, they all go DOWN well; they just don't SIT or STAY well. It took me a long time to learn that lesson.
afternoon Babblers!!!
Just great ruby and you...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all babblers!
howdy red,seaspray
when you burn off the grand marnier with the crepes, the alcohol is gone but the taste remains.....
Hey Crossy
hello hello red!
hi red and SeaSpray
Hi Red
Did Everyone I missed have a nice holiday?
mmm flambe grand marier crepes ala crossy;)
Great Red and you?
i need a good crepe pan...;((

SAUNA PANTS ARE BACK!!!!
I just use a little, junky Tefal non-stick. Plrenty of butter and no problem
Hi Molly!
I wanted to depart from my holiday theme...
red, I have *some* snow for you if you'd like!
is that suana or salina?
Ahhh, we were spared the snow this time...thankfully, had a dusting on Christmas day but thank goodness no repeat of last winter...yet!
Molly, "Sauna pants"????
we got about 15 inches in Rhode Island. It was exciting for me. not for the locals...
salina pants?
Nef, look at my Icon...it has the pants...
S A U N A Ruby. Look at Red's icon.
O.M.G.!!! What a horrid idea!
we had 4 feet with 5 days last winter and NO none is looking for that again
But Nef, I have a personalized pair for you in the PB...in your fav color...
those pants are a riot!
is that for losing weight?
reminds me of those snuggies you see on t.v,all they are are bath robes worm backwards lol
I found it on the net, and I admit, i do not know what on earth they are for!!
lol. Great pants. They look like they're made out of balloon animals.
what's my fav color, red? ;-)
there are French creams that you rub on and lose inches from hips, thighs, etc. Too funny
hi Judi
Jeff Koons pants!
I have Noooo idea, but I got pants for all....so there has got to be one you like.
hello judi
does it work Ruby?
LOL! You are such a generous person, red! :_D
I can't imagine; it's supposed to work while you sleep
Hello, all.
haha...they usually don't
if the cream worked we would all be a perfect weight lol
howdy judi
Hi Judi

DH had to help me take off my wedding ring for an MRI later today. Mind you; *his* wedding ring had to be made smaller (by 3 sizes!) last month; but my knuckle has grown and we really had to work the string wrap tight to get it off!
who are you calling flakie?
here is a recipe... http://community.tasteofhome.com/forum s/t/12783.aspx
Wandies are sort of traditional Italian American fare...we ate towers and towers of them...

my mouth is watering!
Yummers Seaspray!

Nef, if you are into yoga, Peggy Cappy has a great Yoga For Arthritis DVD out.
Molly, I just got a yoga for arthritis video when I re-upped for public TV. I also have a Tai Chi video for chair-bound people (from when DH was so sick) and we're trying to use both of those.
(I don't even know hwo does the yoga video we have; I'll check though)
LOL! It is Peggy Cappy; her "Yoaga for the rest of us" videos! :-)
My only problem with Peggy Cappy's DVD is that the people she has doing yoga with her look like androids. No expression in their eyes whatsoever. Creepy.
Wow. I've never paid that much attention to them before. Now I'll probably fixate on that! I don't think I've never looked at the faces of any of the people on exercise tapes
3 more and i can list;)
You can do it, crossy!
even if you keep using a WORD! ;-)
oops..my bad
I always pay attention to the people on exercise tapes. I have elaborate stories I have made up about Leslie Sansone's Walk Away The Pounds Group. : P
Cross, there are complimentary Sauna Pants in the PB.
lol sauna pants and bacon weave sarnies,what a combo
I was actually wondering if that might be a WORD you hadn't seen yet
no,i had it,but was not paying attention
i can list now at 95 in,but alas,must head to work;(
have a good day, crossy!
take care my friends and happy babbling..list is in my profile for those who need it...poof!

<from PB> Yeah, I hang my head in shame. I DO know how to do it, don't I?
if you gonna do it, do it in style, that's wot i say
least you had words when you did it lol
I always see words in groups. One night just after the flip I entered about 10 words in rapid succession -in CHOG!_ before I knew I was in the wrong box. I really need to learn to look AT the screen instead of at the keyboard!
*Puts a hot appetizer tray in the PB for Nef*
hi all -- 5 min and 66 words in - no 7's yet though
Nan is here. Hi Nan.
hi nan!
hi nan
hi all
ah - ou 7
hi jmc
Hiya JMC
hi jmc
*looks at appetizer tray in case wants to hit pb*
ou 7 not in but ou* and not all but ****
cyber, what is icing sugar and berry sugar? (checking your profile and drooling; sort of)
i think confectionery sugar is also icing sugar--never heard of berry sugar
hmmm i dont have all of them but i have **** of them is better for the ou7
icing sugar is a powdered sugar used to make cake frostings and berry sugar is a very fine granular sugar that is made from berries rather than cane
i make my own by throwing regular sugar in the food processor
apparently mo** of the 7s end with the same 4 letters! ;-)
*you can use all icing sugar or 1/2 regular sugar -- the cane sugar makes the shorbread a little harder.
ty sadie -- had the ou 7 -- was just saying that I had found it
duh , sorry bout tht i got all excited i knew one
lol
same 4 letters, jmc? -- common suffix then
yeh that cyber
thanks for the explanation about the sugars; I'll see if I can talk DH into making so4/5 of those!
ok -- got the suffix
good because i still only have one 7 myself
there is an li 7
ha just got it
means skinny
yes -- figure that has to be the suffix
goodmorning all
hi lynxxx
or maybe not!
hi lynxxx
morning lynxxx
it could be the four letters that end ou7
hi lynxxx
don't know -- just have the same two that you have
ha tp7 cyber!
er to7
yes!
*grabs cybers hands and dances in a happy dance*
lol
Another 7? em7 getting rid of the contents - em**y**g - works as a plural only
em**y**g? hmm
ty lynxxx
oooh just found this one - what you are if you come from the country immediately above England - drop the c
good one -- ty

see you all later. I am getting a new mattress and need to clean!!
Me, I have to. At least it will be clean for the new year!
I see -- must admit I took the op with the kids out to mop the kitchen floor this morning
*wonders if science worries the mattress will run away if room is not clean enough*
it's time to get the roster ... 62 left and I've come to a great big wall.
wd harry!
oh, toupe! Not a word.... it is where I come from!

hello all again. 83 left...
ji bichon
i thought that too glan but i think it may be toupee

Hi Glant,

bye harry
morning Red & Bichon
no roster--but one in crossy's profile

hllo Lynxxx, how is everything in your corner of the world?
hi hoot
phantom isotope
did you all see my clue for the last 7
I just got it looking back. Thanks Lynnxxx.
i saw it but it did not give me the 7 yet
Very nice down here Red. And how are you all up there
Hello to you in Wales
Thanks Lynxx, I was missing those up's.
we are well. I had the excitement of a snowstorm the day after Christmas with my young nephews.
i have up6 is there more than one?
tx lun for the 7 clue
snow and young folk are a good combo
hello Bichon
Red, it snowed in Florida????
There are 3 up6. My last clue rhymes with what Scotsmen wear nothing under
oh no Bichon, I was in Rhode Island over Christmas. It was 28 last night here in Florida, but no snow.
Love that clue Lynxx!
*shocked look*
It was that warm in FL. Geez, wish it would warm up to 28 here <gggg>
108 down -- bbl
ty lynxx got the 6 and 7
we are up to about 55 ish.
bye cybernan...
It's 46 degrees here. Feels like Spring after all the cold windy weather we've had lately.
how many words today?
i hardly had to bundle up to go to the Meetinghouse today
189
thanks
yw
do you all have the pt6 word? I just found it!
no i don't red
TY Red!
now i do ty
it is the one to do with eyes...
Don't forget the si4/5 anagram of the leg part
oh thanks Lynxxx... :)
ty lynxxx
*whine* is there a list posted anywhere but Babanon?
crosses profile I think...
the clue about pt to do with eyes has me confused
or Volleys
the pt6/21 is a common babblet glan
pt+sibling
is there a list of common babblets anywhere?
hmmm no
I don't know Glant, but it would help if someone would compile one.
pt ends like someone taking control of your mind hypn****
tx lyn & jmc - got it
yw
someone was compiling one. It might have been Joey
i was compiling one for me but it was lost when my computer was stolen last year
Crossy had one, but he's not online anymore.
hi bugs
hi jmc. being quiet because I am not supposed to be here. shhh
has anyone seen bugs? I haven't seen her today
Clues are up
clue for first mu4/8 please? otherwise I will pullout all my hair!
ooo ty ty ty lickety
You can find any member by going to Ranking and doing a CTRL F. Type the name of the person in the box and it will locate their name. Click on their name and it will take you to their profile. Cross and Hootowl and VolleyMomDee all have lists in their profiles.
just in time! ty
TY Lickey. Hope you are having a good break, love to the family
NM. Lickety is up now.
nm it was a singular of the childhood discease even though it is not singular
i go to the rankings to find someone off line
mu8 is that the large long colorful shapeless dress beloved in the 50/60s?
no it is the one before that one lynxxx-- the singular discease--but ty
JMC, it means to mutter, sulk, mope or grimace. I think I will add that one to my vocabulary.
go mu4 and mo4 in the pb molly
There is no mu8.
i wore mu4s
like the mo4.6 - a fool
she meant mu4/8 molly
typo Molly, sorry
I still wear a mu4!
i am too glam glan
ROFL
brb
mine's a very glam mu4
Glam mu4s are called caftans. : D
i have some Mu like nghtgowns.
My glam mu4 comes form Morrocco - not sure what the diff is between mu4 and kaftan
house dresses - ie you wouldn't be seen dead in them other in the house
caftans are different
And just to be persnickity, muumuu is the proper Hawaiian spelling.
mu4s are from hawaii
That is a kaftan Glan for sure
kaftan is from morrocco or other middle eastern type places
I thought maybe kaftans had sleeves - y mu4 has seams sewn down the sides about 8 inches in from the edges
but it does have neat tie-dye patterns and ebroidery
Glan, do a Google image search on mu4 and caftan. You will see the difference.
back
Dorothy Zbornak was the caftan Queen.
i have a red caftan with gold and silver embroidery but alas it is too too small for me now
is shje American? not heard of her
mine is definitely a kaftan LOL
i never heard of her either
Bea Arthur on "The Golden Girls".
Fireworks, dammit!!!
woo hoo judi
whoo hoo judi
not bea arthur but the woman who played her mother
oh right - that was her characters name
Judi!!!!!!
Congrats Judi!
This grid was a bee-yatch!
good job Judi!
I was thinking it friendlier than yesterdays...but I have 79 left.
*face plants into exhaustion*
I'm liking this one
Lickety's list is now updated, if anyone has reached the desperation point.
Nope, Sophia was Dorothy's mother.
sophia was the one who wore mu**s
Oh my. what a gift. I shall hit lickety when I am down to 40 ish left.
thanks Judi.
okay I am off to my office since my shift at the Meetinghouse is done
bbl
Right, and Dorothy wore caftans. Which is why I called her the caftan Queen.
see you jmc
bye jmc
oops sorry molly my mistake
*poof*
Until tomorrow, Babblers. *POOF*
just monkeyed those last 2 mu words....that's crazy, is what it is.
good job Harry. I still have 2 M words...
TY Harry
heh yw lynx
how many mu words are there?
looked up the def - how embarassing - for elephants that is!
kids are up! bbl
bye Harry
hmmm, what is the def lynxx?
10 mu words
ty glan xx
a state or condition of violent, destructive frenzy occurring with the rutting season in male elephants, accompanied by the exudation of an oily substance from glands between the eyes and mouth.
Oh My!
you asked!
which mu affects elephants?
and it plurals!
mu5.16 & 6
a nasty one by the sounds of it!!!
could I get a clue for the O the lone O on the left hand side of the grid?
ou7.36 compound not in and opp of least
thanks so much lynxxx, I would not have found that on my own.
to7 along the same lines
ty lyn
hello all! noswaith da, Glantarell!
lyn, you are doing the grid for me!!!
Hi Stid!
morning Stid
good morning lynxxx -- all is well with you I hope?
very funny icon red!
very well thanks Stid - enjoying your break
there. FINALLY halfway!
there is a pair in the PB with your name on it Stid. I got for all Babblers!
noswaith dda stid
I have been, thanks lynxxx. took four teen boys to the science fiction museum yesterday and had a blast! taking the same four to the harry potter exhibit friday! :-D
are you home Glantarell? Did you have a lovely holiday with your daughter's family?
oh oh... what did I say/type? *scans chog*
must
Sorry
thanks Nef! ((hugs on way to PB))
a science fiction museum sounds great, wish I could go
me too, lynxxx. but right now they are tooling up for a really big exhibit in the spring so the entire second floor of exhibits were missing!
BBL its a lovely morning and Stew is getting restless so we might walk
Yes I am home stid - had a lovely cuddly time in germany - but we all had heavy coughs and chest infections
later lynxxx, have a lovely day!
glad you are home safely and had a nice time, so sorry you were under the weather.
Journey there was stressful - snow and the coach didn;t tunr up so drove the 200 miles to the airport, then fog all the way home ;last nighyt - got in around 3 in the morning -eyes are sore now!
it's a lovely day here, too. We have been taking it slow... tom will take the boys skiing tomorrow and I will stay home and work on this paper that determines if I will become an "actual" teacher.
oh my, what an ordeal! *offer hot cider* I am sorry you had to drive all that way in the snow.
accepts hot cider gratefully - will go in summer next time LOL
what's the subject of the paper stid?
well, down to 79. should get myself ready to head out. back later. **Hugs and choclits for all** see you later! *poof*
bye stid
mo 5/16?
sorry bich - only have mo5/14 and mo5/12
li 6/21?
supple
cos, like the 7 after it, minus vowel at the end
aw then i shld find the 7 :)
so should I LOL
li + double consonant + there's no place like h***
6/21 rhymes with ki** and ends with the word people use to meditate
that worked. ty :)
I take it mosh is not acceptable even though it's in More Words?
didn't work for me
the last mu5 is a very weird word
I am so stuck on the mo, I'm missing 6 of them and don't see wht they could possibly be
they were tricky
If only I could get the 5/16
add a vowel between the last 2 letters of the 4 before it
the 4 before it is what you use to wash the floor?
no.. plural of not dad
no wonder I'm having problems. TY cos
yw that was hard for me to find lol
one mo5/12 is a * mo5 and bailey* - a type of castle
i'm still having probs with that mu5, hard without lickety
Lickety is up
lickety has a list up im using it
which mu5? childhood disease or rampant elephant state?
awesome, i don\t think it was up earlier
mu5.....has to + consonant
mu5 add a letter after the mu4 before it.. then plural it... very weird word
got the mu5/16 thx kalea
Thanks cos, I didn't realize it was up. That certainly helps a lot
i just checked a few mins agoo and it was up so i decided to do the grid :)
most welcome
i had 80 left... i couldnt do anymore without the list
I am now done with the mo's
the first se 6/21?
sorry cos, don't have it
so much easier with a list!
I really don't believe there are two se 6/21's
wait, got it.
clue?
se + ****le someone's hair
the next 6/21 is the same, but with the next consonant alphabetically instead
i'm not sure what you're doing to the hair LOL
to muss someone's hair
think it might be a US word
that mu5/16 is an odd word, new one for me
when you go off on a journey, you se**** tht is the sencond se 6/21. The one before it has the previous consonant alphabetially ending it
oooh thanks bichon!
did that help Glant
glad I was able to help red
magically I am down to 41 left, soon Lickety and I shall unite!
No, feeling dumb - but, I have over half, which is my target at the moment - long day so I'm off to bed! Poof!
well, the list, and I...
good night glan..
I have 51 left. Not enjoying this grid until the list went up
ty bich for the se :)
i liked this one, but it may be because I started it at my home, away from the nephews...and pressure to socialize with family.
hi folks, down to 37 left
but could I have a clue for the Lone N in the left hand upper corner?
red, what in the world is that in your icon, very strange
little bugs, red
bugs that make your scalp itch
Oh my, I am an entirely silly one, thanks all.
what kind of fish would you like, red. we have flounder and halibut available tonight
Peri, they are Sauna pants. I got everyone a pair for the PB, when our sauna is being repaired. Yours comes in the color periwinkle...

I had stuffed flounder a few days ago...

thanks Luv, I monkeyed it.
I use the tile stats only and never bother to list anymore.
really, Kap and do you finish?
No...I just sort of fade away.
I like to finish
I am new...what is this list you all keep talking about?
welcome mark, go down below the grid under Friends of babble and click on Lickety's babble clues
I know Peri- your endurance is impressive.
Ohhh..ok...thanks!
yw mark, it's a big help
i rarely finish, but sometimes when I feel I have time, I like to.
Then you copy your word list and past it on the second to bottom bulk grab on Lickety, and it fills in all your words and tells you what's left
em7?
But it got so that I would get to Lickety and just get tired , and not feel likebeing systematic
the first four letter of a void + canning implements
em7 sounds like when something is not full, ...yeah, what bichon said
The grid is full of voids.
Some voids have 4 letters and some have 7.
thx bichon
Voids, voids, voids- I am so sick of voids.
What Eliza Doolittle said in the Yiddish version.
hmmmmm..... canning implements???
British word for cans
whatcansaremadefrom.
how many words
oh! got it, thanks
189.
thanks ;]
there are lots of other people who finish and some much faster than me. I play off and on. sometimes quickly and sometimes plodding
I get tired.
hi all
SO7? please

without the 2nd consonant
Huh? I'll look. ty

High fives to Peri!

Goodbye periwinkle!I will see you later in the chat log
I get so confused about what are allowable words here. I've been told abbreviations are not allowed. And yet te4/6 is playable in this grid.
essentially what is allowed is whatever the enable dictionary has in it.
it confuses all..
Molly,Imissedyou before whenI complained about all thevoidsinthegrid
My spacebarisn'tworkingvery well
SorrytohearthatKap
what'ste4?
Oh, that
Short for what you take when you have a fever.
Or a "not long term" employee. Either way, it's an abbreviation. Enable is a fussy little tyrant.
Igotit,Igotit
Jenny I got your number!
Billy don'tlosethatnumber...

At the risk ofgoingtothePB, I think sittemup isagoodword
I think shitso is a better word.
Shitsu-adog,right?
But we arenowinthe PB-asifno oneknewtheswordwashere.
i like those words kaplan.
WhatshallIdoaboutmy spacebar?
:)
get a new keyboard?
is your spacebar not working? i have opposite issue: i hit a letter once or space once and it does it several times.
WD-40. If you can't fix something with WD-40 or duct tape, it isn't worth fixing.
Hello mkg! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
You caneitherassumemy space barisnotworkingwell,orI have troublebreathing

clue for em 7?
Em7souldslike notfull-first4letters, pluswhatcansaremadefrom
If you can read that
Kap, pop the key off the space bar and see if there is something stuck under there.
(pounding on space bar)
I'm afraid to...there, I think I'm breathing better now
"Oh the moon is shining bright above the carwash..."
Mosh is a word on wordsplay...
yes but you feel like you are in a mosh pit there
ty got it kaplan
li 6 please?
Do you play wordsplay, ale?
used to. too stressful.
li and consonant and you win **** and you lose ****
Wordsplay is like crack cocaine to the gentle opiate of babble.
the fun part was I played on a team with my sisters.
Which team?
ty. is the 7 plural?
Tintin
the 7 has the second vowel on the end
It's been several months since I've been over there.
oh gee that is the 7. still need the six.
got the 76. one less letter. ty.
The Tea Party is raging there.
So I'm having my Volkswagon washed again

Next line?
Yeah, the politics were annoying.
Wordsplay is tame compared to Letter Blox
I don't know Letter Blox.
li & carries (word in grid)
ty got it.
Wordsplay calmed down when the webmaster laid down some rules of civility- it was smutty and racist before that
one of the games under OMGPOP - Letter Blox is pretty addictive
Um, um...the way things go, the way my luck runs?
Just as soon as I finish it will rain.
ahhh Fireworks. Wishes we had a wee bit o rain here.
Congratulations redturtlehead on fireworks! Hooray!
Yay - love it! my last word was sh4.6 (the insult)
Congrats Red
Congrats. yeah, what I need is another addictive game
OMGPOP?
http://www.omgpop.com is the link to letterblox if U want to play it. It is a very fast paced game for 3 min
Catskill ladies sing this song...

hi, TO, Doren, Champ, Sue, et al
i have too many after christmas half prcie goodies in this house. i recommend the pepperidge farm almond cookies.
those are tasty indeed, TO :-)
Hi dcseain!
hi dc... just saw a pic of my grandson at the air and space museum and wish i were in dc right now
hey seain
out owl! no temptations ... no goodies. i had dessert with lunch today and i can have no more
i have moravian cookies, choco mint, but i am hoarding them at $4 per box
At the downtown museum or the Udvar-Hazy Center, do you know? The latter has BIG planes and a space shuttle.
anyone have a clue for the pt wordd
it ends with a medical ending like psoria***
i wih i could go to that one
i'm assuming downtown, but don't know for sure... is the new on in MD?
tv is an absolute wasteland tonight, i am reviewing bands
TO, if you can make it down a day, let me know -- we could hit either or both and have you home that night.
the new one in VA near Dulles. I live 10 min from Udvar-Hazy and have yet to go there
i want to finish my current book, but think this is taking too long
we have finished the christmas cookies, cleaned out the leftover christmas pie, and devoured the brownies my husband made with our youngest just for fun. only the gingerbread remains...
hi GE, sounds delicious
mm gingerbread - hmm,, did i bring those peppekakkers home or leave them in nj?
yes thanks for the clue
yes yummy, but now more of me to love.
*sigh* there is more of all of us to love, i guess. christmas is love.
owl your dress size is probably half mine... sigh away, but you can buy those cookies... i can't!
i hope it is a temporary state of being
i am so out of shape and very weak, no muscle tone.
i have muscle tone... even tight abs... just a huge belly and butt!
you have been ill TO?
Hello all. Just got finished cleaning the refrigerator--no not eating all the leftovers but getting the exploded perrier water glass off the shelves and the water out of the bins. Tooo cold and it froze the bottle.
i've been tired and listless
sorry to hear that mere, but at least it wasn't cocacola
well owl you are in mourning, allow yourself that, ok?
Muscle tone would be good to increase I expect for many of us. Oh, you're right Dorens we were very thankful it wasn't sticky and/or chocolaty.
and this band is pretty awful :(
actually, pretty average
I bought some science fiction books and am starting "Contact" which I know is an old book but somehow I never read it.
i liked that when i read it.... about a lifetime ago, wasn't it?
i am waiting for "the last boy" but i think i am number 150 on the list
I believe if one were born in the mid 80s they would be the same age as the book. I could look it up but frankly it is not that important a fact.
will be needing some book recommendation but will not allow it until i have done my year end cleaning. boy is this place neglected. all i need are 20 cats.
i have two owl... will not take any more no matter what.. for that reason
hey all
hello Mother!
What do you think of the kindles TO? Would you get the books faster and not have to go to the stores to pick it up?
hi stid
Hi mama, I'm here first and have three words already.
I see that! I hit halfway earlier. :-D
Have to get up pretty early to get ahead of you kid.
Tom and I saw the new kindle at the store this afternoon. It's very nice, AND it has a voice that can read the text. We are considering getting one for me to use for when I am done with school.
LOL Well, I started at flip...
Fireworks!
YAY CHAMP!!!
sounds like a good idea stid... i'm thinking of one myself... they've come down a lot in price, too
congrats, champ
yahooo champ
stepped away for a minute
yay champ!
Good champ Wahoo. for friedworks.
to5, after the stuff upper
feeling a bit bleary-eyed, but will clue if needed...
yes, the wifi version is quite nice -- I think the 3G version that allows downloads from the cellphone system would be nice if I commuted on trains and such, but not worth the price for my situation.
stidge, i have not htought about it. the library is free. i think i need a tv made in this century for starters.
but the wifi would be lovely because I could connect and download at home.
is first on my list! :)
to5 ends with greek plural
The choices for new tvs are overwhelming to me. We're going to keep with our present one until it stops working.
hate greek ending, never know them
like ** vey
then change last letter for English plural for another to5
the english plural is the greek singular
firewerks
YAY doren!
congrats, doren
Wahoo for Dorens already!!.
yay doren!
yahooo doren
finally, found the to5's
:) go, go sue
okay, down to 73 and taking an eyeball break. back later tonight. Tom is going to hook my computer up to the tv so I have a BIG monitor!!!
i am out... see you tomorrow
go sue go!
See you-all later! *poof*
g'night doren
night doren.
bye stid
bye stid

Hey mollyg
elephants have them, TO
yikes, i am hating this artist. perhaps not in mood to critique tonight. a patti smith wannabe
ty seain.

njoy, TO
of course i want what i don;t have
i hate when that happens
plain old hersheys
clue for the first sh 5 / 12 please
does that come before the front of the legs?
just got it - the one just after, but tried one that i thought i had tried many times
ah, okay, i only just found the one you were seeking then :)
yikes, i just reviewed this artist as the musical equivalent of waterboarding.
toke to me gabiim
perhaps i should tone it down a bit
sounds like you really disliked it
well, imagine patti smith with terrible existential lyrics.
i mean, even patti gets on my nerves. i hated this girl'slyrics. and she's local.
danielle lubene
need halp
FINISHED!! VERY EXCELLENT!!!
Way to go godthaab!!! Congrants and whooo.
well done, god.
I need to harness dinner. BRB

hello again and it will be a quickie....another tormenting grid
hi, science
they all seem easy after Monday's
so true, TO
I think I finished that one....lol
i did not even bother to finish that one
ok, have gone 15 minutes without one word. are the last thre up words obscure?
cleaned up the entire downstairs today all for a new mattress set....too funny because my bed has virtually disappeared because the mattress is so tall! LOL
bbl
hasta, science
two of them are not very common, TO
i know up+te5/14 is not one of them
ty, that greyed a T for me :)
an other T word makes for two of them
found the last one,
ty, got the last one from that
the two before are to put at an angle
you did? get the last up word?
yes, from you saying you found it, i extrapolated it took a T word after the ones i had
well for the others are they up + a grid word?
on ut
one ut that is
one um
yep
the rest are up + compounds
the ut is the bestest
hi DC and TO
well i am looking at the final up word and wondering why enable won't tka ethe reverse
Anyone have the mo 5, 16?

ok, breaktime then hunker down for final 9
how's your boy, ru? one year old!
he's great.. very, very playful and now found a newfound love of chewing cabinetry
i need help photographing the dogs. i never get the angle/height right and they come out looking all goofynose
hi, welki

*imagines welki on all fours*
stop it ru, you'll make your eyes bleed
*looks t ceiling and whistles*
lol
seain, did you know that one of our babblepals is a classical pianist? mixi6
thank you for being discreet, owl :)
really? i was just wondering if anyone was into classical, was listening to leon bates earlier.
<-- is out of the loop and still listens to glenn gould
well that's a first, now, welk! :)
just watched glen gould bio last night! fascinating
what's a first? that you've been discreet or i'm out of the loop? (because i'm usually out of the loop .. and loopy)
weiki, a few suggestions: shoot at eye level (not necessarily on all fours :)), natural light is always best, sit with your camera for a while with the dog and then take your pic when they are comfortable (not trying to get them to look at your camera)
hi la
hallo
I shoot a lot of film on all fours..but that's another story for another day
thanks, leslie .. i used to be able to take beautiful photos, have lost my mojo
MWAH goodnight, everybody.
night lurking la
owl, my fave is the aria de capo from the goldberg variations
haha no was in response to ru, not leaving :)
glenn gould?
yes
my favorite is the Lark Ascending.. not sure who the writer is
he was quite controversial in his day
hang on .. i'll find it
i am reviewing bands tonight. two bad, current one is pretty good.
that's hard work TO..
he was a genius. eccentric for sure
http://tinyurl.com/ktv3em
*walks in chog carefully so as not to st** on anyone on all fours*
woof
haha
i am sooo annoyed with myself
leslie, baxter is a golden. maybe i'll just use your photo :)
whatcha do, jmc?
i spent beaucoup bucks to upgrade windows to use a particular older software and it turns out it still doesn't work it needs old windows :-(
i wonder how you downgrade windows
ohhh, i did that too (on a mac)
sooooo annoying
can't find the old program on windows 7 .. professional? that's what you use, right?
it is an obscure professional tax program for 2004
can't upgrade that software?
nope they only make it the year it is needed
but clients keep showing up with multiple years of unfiled returns
ask around, see if someone you know is getting a new computer and ask if you can buy their old one
clue for the last up please
up + throw a ball (or throw up)
what op system is required?
i am going to try it on the ones at the office since everything i have there is old
windows XP
ty welki
i just had my other half set up an old computer for me so i can access some info i need stored on floppy discs
(like i can order him around .. hahaha, that's ripe, welki!)
i have an old one that only writes to floppy -may have to buy cheap isp for a month to get things off
*giggle*
howdy again everyone;) back for the last half of this grid;)
hey crossy
sheesh i will never finish these TO words
hi crossy

run the setup in compatability mode?
get a usb portable storage drive T.O and just transfer everything,retire that old rig and sort it out later;)
welk pls post url again?
you can get portable usb storage drive the size of a deck of cards and they hold 500 gig lol
*tries on mjc and looks in mirror*
http://tinyurl.com/ktv3em
what's the verdict, jmc?
i think i still like the jmc better
not sure how to connect,
but it is always good to try new things
if you were native american and living in the northwest, you might erect one of these for artistic and/or spiritual purposes
i have learned the hard way not to hold onto old rigs for parts too long;) hell they plant to get rid of the old bios set up soon;)
fair enough. back to correct spelling i go then.
thanks for the effort to drag me out of my rut
:)
anyways i digress,word hunt time;)
welki do you like Gould's first or second Goldberg recording better?
did i help any with the to words, jm?
1955
yes sorry i was rude--ty welki
*sigh* carnegie hall

i was distracted by the new look
speaking of carnegie hall .. jmc, i met phil ochs when he played there :)

haha "kindly suggested" = typo
lol

somehow i (usually) ended up in the right places in the 1960s .. waltzed the south street pier with pete seeger, had a beer with vonnegut in mcsorley's ale house in the village. now i'm boring
*looks in pb cabinet for more Jack*
jmc you should see how many of those I have! ;o)
pour me one .. let's drink
very cool welki

whoooo hoooo TO!
daniel berrigan! haven't heard that name in ages .. the other brother's name?
patrick
Philip
close TO but no prize
oops
Bach has an awesome way of sounding beautifully different at different te6... I like mo4 of the variations from his first recording, though so4 are nicer at the slower te5 :o)
i can't get the glenn gould to play
did you know that 'the radical priest' in paul simon's song me and julio down by the schoolyard was a reference to daniel berrigan?
look at dfm being all cluey
a gentle reminder to everyone that joined our babble folding team for cancer research: remember to log on every day so we can get those work units up!!.some of you are not turning it on daily;))
heh. no, that's my anti-PB script <.<
anyway I was just starting to talk to them when another attorney walked up that they knew and they walked off with him
here's the full link:
i am sorry crossy my computers and i have been having fights
http://video.google.com/videoplay?doci d=-6984208089899995423#
poor jmc;((
ty listening now
var. 6 sounds better slower :o\ should be even slower than how he played it...
welk did he comppose this>
no, it's bach
that was the time this young woman who had gotten arrested burst into tears and said "you mean they will put me in jail with real criminals?" I walked away from her to compose myself
die Variationen Goldberg, or KlavierUbung #... 4?
by J.S. Bach
goldberg variation, dfm
so dfm is there someway to fool the program into thinking I have windows xp?
so i can install it?
goldber variations = bach?
yes
Right-click, Properties, Compatibility
yes to owl (sorry jmc)
what do I right click on?
then Compatibility Mode > Windows XP and then it *should* think it's in Windows XP.
ah, i am seeing his unusal technique, as explaoned in the documentary
how did it get that name?
I like Gould's "So you want to write a Fugue" :o)
there is a well know quaker in the grid today--connected with apples
<-- plays the GV... not well, though :o(
dfm what do i right click on?
the program/installer you want to run
how did what get it's name?
okay I will try that brb
goldberg variations?
goldberg was the first performer of the variations
*mini poof*
ty
the goldberg variations? in the 1700s, bach wrote a bunch of music for the harpsichord .. they were called variations. goldberg was the guy who played them
yeah, what jmc said
ok. i do not know classial music in depth
they used to merely be part of his KlavierUbung books.
my god, his fingers just glide over the keyboard
i grew up with it, owl, but don't know squat about it either. just what i like :)
now, ask me about aeronatuics and it's a different story
hmmm...what's bernoli's principle (or something like that)
Bernoulli ;o)
bernoulli .. the other is olive oil :)
thank you for correcting me, dfm. i'm such an ignoramus.
hot damn dfm it is working!
betolli?!
*dances a happy dance*
ricola!
now my day has not been a total waste
something about lift but i am a helo kind of gal
yay jmc!
and more of a maintenance type
*pops into the chog just in time for bernoullis principle* we used to teach about that back when i worked at the air + space museum. :)
"as long as it gets off the ground I don't care how!"?
esp for avionics and hydraulics
the fairies get under the wings of the plane an lift
er, yes, je. yes they do. :/
so... if I have a pipe that narrows, with air flowing through... where is the pressure lowest? Where is the airspeed lowest? ;o)
bernoullis principle basically states that fast moving air has low pressure.
you could explain principles to me all day and i still couldn't grasp how planes and helicopters fly around in the sky
the pressure would be lowest at the narrowest point of the pipe, because the air moves fastest there. :)
well, as long as it doesn't crash it's fine and it doesn't matter how it works, right welki? ;o)
what did you do at air & space? doren was just talkig about her grands being there today
The Bernoulli Principle, by the way, is not the reasons planes can stay in the air ;o)
they can also fly up-side-down, and the Bernoulli Principle wouldn't allow that!
i worked in the gallery called "how things fly" -- we explained...how things fly! did demos + stuff. :)
lift and thrust. that's all i got.
4 forces of flight: lift, weight, drag, thrust.
well that's it in a nutshell
and i took physics!
*zips lips*
lol
my niece is taking "medical physics".
eva - you at air and space on the Mall or at Dulles?
o.0 hmm, don't hear about that too often, TO
on the mall. the dulles expansion wasnt open yet when i left. though i DID work the groundbreaking. :)
Hello all.
Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?
i never did until she told me last week
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
SEE I told you it was fairies
pretty shitty.
medical physics - even as a doc i can't imagine what that would mean...fall out of tree, break leg?
but NOOOO you laughed at me
welk i am enjoying the bach.
hi hoy miley and min
sup jm
it calms me, owl
dfm helped make my antique program work
lol. as she explains it, if they study a roller coaster they don't study the pure physics, but study the effects of g forces on the body.
did everyone finish? i still have 62 left and i am not seeing any more!
*puts halo over dfm's head*
71 left
i was the only person working there who didnt know the science first. most of my coworkers were science people who they had do teach about showmanship. i was a performer who they had to teach the science. :)
i use compatibility mode for old excel, never thought of it for what you needed it for. bravo!
did you know that lickety finally gave us all a li** hoy?
haha - you had to teach the nerds not to be nerdy!
shy, retiring you? ;)
jmc - ??? ur talking to a newbie here.
something like that...hehe
jmc - nice news!
hi jmb
hoy look below the tile stats and right click on the thing that says lickety and open it in a new windo
*window
ok, i am fading out
me too .. g'night folks
should I adjust the dial TO?
bye TO and welki
sigh i installed the software but it is not working because who knows. . . .
but thanks dfm
I am done! I have fireworks! up6/27 was my last word

up 6 letter word worth 27 points
you take the points on the tiles and add them up and for a 4 letter word that is it
The first two letters are up, it is 6 letters and worth 27 points hoyamd and hello there! Welcome to Babble!
for a 5 letter word you double them, 6 triple etc
thx!
sp7?
the doubling and tripling was throwing me.
sp 7/32 is sp4/5 plus I *** a candle last night jmcnrick

That li 7/28 word is li plus the to 5/10 word jmcnrick.
ty so am i
you would know it would be one of the to words I don't have *looking*
li7/20 word is li plus carries jmcnrick&herinfernallady
ty min
now how am i supposed to solve this puzzle when they use fake words?
Thanks now to find the LI
yw
silly me for not having that to word
I always use my fake monkeys to find the fake words.
lol min
handy little devils
i am sorry and are you defending the word HOYA?
I found a few at 3am this morning doing that
;-)
defending the word hoya? i can give you the long version of what is means...
rolf
it was in a puzzle a few days back - i got v excited.
I do need a definition of the word please. I feel as though I am licking windows
sorry what word do you need a def for herin?
THe Li 5
uh there is no li 5 in this grid
isn't there an li 7?
never mind I misread the clue. Sorry
yes and i would like the def too
ah there are 2 li7 words
li7/32 means skinny
I read the clue as li 5 carries as in extend the Li 5 to get the 7. Like adding an ING on the end of the word
li7/28 means: (and I quote)understatement, esp. that in which an affirmative is expressed by the negative of its contrary, as in “not bad at all.â€
li+pl bags=li7/28
and with 102 words in,i concede defeat. good night all and happy babbling
nite
Thank you. I really need to go back and stop licking windows. Night Crossie

Wow, jmc--that's what I got my masters in!
when people ask me what they should take in college i say take what is interesting and let the job training come later
hi jan
where did you get your masters jan?
Hi jmc!!
1977, at Yale.
st5/10 before front porch in Baltimore
coolio i bet we may know some people in common if i could only remember their names! lol
I was there when Arthur Wright was teaching--sadly he died during my studies. Jonathan Spence was also on the faculty then.
st + for-runner of secret service
my professor at rice was from yale but he thought i was dumb
i knew of arthur wright (of course) and jonathan spence
li 7/28, please
Profs seldom are good judges of their students. I ought to know...
ty hoot
li + to5
yw
well it is just as well i did fine without going into grad school
why should you ought to konw jan *senses a story*
There were no jobs at all in the 70's in the field. Everybody I knew in grad school ended up waiting tables or driving cabs.
Enjoy your day/night. lateres
bye herin
so what did you end up with jan?
Because I ended up teaching in the end, Though not in Chinese history. In law, actually.
where do you teach law?
nite herin
Though I do teach Chinese law from time to time. An exuse to brush up on my medieval Chinese.
<==lawyer
Seattle University
ah
what do you teach (and don't say law)
Torts, contracts, children and the law, criminal procedure, Chinese law and anything the dean thinks he needs next year.
chinese law? really? lol
Other than tax.
lol everyone says that I love tax law
when i would interview law students for jobs they would say--anything but tax!
Yeah, my students end up hearing a lot about the law of the han through ching dynasties on the way to leanring about joint ventures.
Actually tax is really interesting-it's all about distribution of wealth, after all.
interesting i willhave to bone up on the han through ching dynasties and joint ventures
it is a big tool for social policy jan
And it's like a scavenger hunt through the code and regs--a bit like Babble, in that sense. :-)
think about the deductions and the exemptions
such as the fact that they reduced the amount of mass transit employee benefit but not the amount of parking employee benefit even though the original idea was to encourage mass transit
i think of it as a crossword puzzle when I do returns
sp5/16?
So,do you do tax law then?
sorry I missed you during the great Washington State Babble Meet up
I was in China then, as it happens
yeah in my spare time i do returns and offers in compromise and such
mainly i run a peace organization
Interesting...
(war bad; peace good)
sp = foam, froth - think waves

The wind is coming up -- better go and batten down the hatches!
I'd love to hear it.

Ol Man River is better
Congratulations cybernan on fireworks! Good for you
ol man river is best!
I get weary, sick of trying
tired of living
and scared of dying
but Ol man river, he just keeps rolling along
I just surprised myself!
Tom bought a zhuzhu pet to see what the cat would do. she's stalking it now.
do they move?
LOL dcseain!
my mother had a repertoire selected for me depending on the audition - i love ol' man river
yes, and this one moos and barks and squeaks
and makes assorted odd noises
the cat will love it!...Once it realises it can't fight back
i need a good uptempo. Any suggestions?
same era?
from a musical - or a particular genre?
Uptempo is a phantom words in puzzle today dcseain.
i'm reasonably flexible about era.
