Happy New Year Ruby

2:24 am

Happy New Year to you in Wales!!

2:24 am

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda - Bonne Annee

2:25 am

Welsh is always astonishing!

2:26 am

allegedly the oldest language in europe

2:26 am

people think we have no vowelsbut we have 7 as opposed to the 5 in English

2:26 am

I didn't know that. French is so VERY derivative! You can see pieces of everything in it

2:27 am

well half of English is french - the normans brought it over when they came!

2:27 am

what's fun is to look for Arabic or Norse words in everyday usage....

2:28 am

i wouldn;t recognise them if i saw them LOL

2:28 am

sure you would: maelstrom, assassin, hashish

2:29 am

guessing maelstrom is norse and hasish is arabic - what about assassin? probably arabic

2:30 am

yup. But it's early and I'm still a little foggy

2:30 am

there are several latin words in welsh - and they are the names of the things the romans brought when they invaded - indow, bridge and few other things

2:30 am

window even

2:30 am

do you know any latin?

2:30 am

maybe an indow has no glass....

2:31 am

i did latin at school 40 years ago but don;t remember much

2:31 am

lots of elsh indows had no glass LOL

2:31 am

hahah

2:32 am

but when the romans arrived the people living in wales lived in roundhouses made from wattle and daub with tall thatched rooves, and wondows were a new concept - with or without glass! In fact, rooms with corners were a new concept too...

2:32 am

this is a tiny grid, already have 44 words but need more vowels to find others

2:33 am

i only have 37, am trying to work out 4th d

2:33 am

we have friends who live in Bodfarys (not sure of spelling, address book isn't handy), near Denbigh

2:34 am

my SIL is german and my whole family riginates in liverpool!

2:35 am

2:35 am

2:35 am

too funny. Our friend works for Pilks as did his father

2:35 am

St. Helen's???

2:35 am

wales is a very beautiful country, especially if you get off the tourist trail

2:36 am

no liverpool itself

2:39 am

my only d is de4/5

2:39 am

i have 2 d4/5 and the plural f ne f them is de5/12

2:40 am

one is an insect repellent

2:40 am

the other is what you get if you hit a piece of metal with a hammer

2:40 am

ty, forgot that one

2:41 am

I thought I had that, but sidn't

2:41 am

didn't

2:41 am

i keep seeing a phantom delete

2:41 am

d's dead!

2:42 am

5:59 am

you too mummy

5:59 am

oh I am so pleased that I gave up th c 7 lol

5:59 am

Ty Sprite & Kallia

6:00 am

I think some animals have more nervous natures than others, that might be part of it. And some may have had a very bad experience. But also the way they were raised, I think. Our dog used to look at us when there was a hard noise. If we did not react, he went back to what he was doing. Maybe if you give him attention then, he learns to think something is wrong.

FIREWORKS HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

6:01 am

maybe that is true Sprite

6:01 am

lol Kallia... you do realise I typed in cigaret right away, right?

6:01 am

hi sandra, to you too. And wtg!

6:09 am

aw thank you and I wish you the same. You will be done with the grid in no time today :)

6:10 am

Managed to help ruby to fireworks earlier this morning.

6:10 am

am afraid so... it is both small and easy. Not a tiny trickster. Thanks for the good wishes :)

6:11 am

wow well done! I bet she loved fireworking on the first day of the year :)

6:11 am

Did hubby fishish tearing the sitting room apart and put it back together again?

6:12 am

he actually did! It isn't fully finished yet, but it looks like a living room again. We had a nice evening :)

6:12 am

oh good, was picturing you seeing the new year in with a paint brush in hand *grin*

6:14 am

I am flitting in and out of the chat today but did want to wish you and the family all the best for the new year. Enjoy the grid and see you soon.

6:14 am

I fled, to tell you the truth. I stared at the room and then at him with HUGE eyes, then turned around and went back to my computer. Could hear him laughing all the way up, lol. Physically I cannot help, and with all the firework noise all day my ptsd had me in a constant state of panic. So I wasn't much use to anyone.

6:15 am

((sprite))

6:17 am

nah I did well. Haven't lost myself to the panic at all, which is really good. Just kept saying to myself: yes it is loud noise. And yes, your panic hormones react automatically. But this too, shall pass!

6:18 am

*giggles* Of course, now we should decide whether talking to oneself is crazy or not...

6:18 am

12 months ago I don't think you would have said that. LOL it is when youstart arguing with yourself you have to watch out.

6:19 am

oh no, 12 months back I had a full day lost in panic! So yes, I did well. *note to self: stop arguing with me!*

6:20 am

LOL

6:20 am

how was your evening, FM?

6:21 am

I happily slept through all the fireworks and bell ringing. HAve had so many incredible New YEars Eves not worried about missing the odd one or two these days.

6:23 am

how lovely :) I know that when our kids will be living on their own, my love and I will probably go to bed earlier as well.

6:23 am

sprite you have come a very long way in the time I have known you and crossed some pretty big mountains along the way.

6:24 am

Ata had an early night too (she was on line this a.m too).

6:24 am

thanks, FM! Going from day to day often makes me blind to that, thanks for reminding me.

6:25 am

*sends Ata hugs* Very smart thing to do. She needs the sleep anyway and she doesn't need the chilly atmosphere ;)

6:26 am

She surprised the heck out of me this week by turning up on the doorstep - total surprise!

6:26 am

oh how wonderful!

6:26 am

She was on her way back from visiting her Gran and dropped by on the off chance I was in. :)

6:27 am

T'ws lovely to see her.

6:27 am

that must have brought a big smile on your face :)

6:27 am

Aparently my face was a picture as I did a double take.

6:28 am

hahahahaha

6:28 am

I must be off

6:29 am

have a good day, FM :)

6:29 am

Time for lunch - have you finished the grid yet?

6:29 am

almost, and doing other things at the same time too. This one will not last ;)

6:30 am

Enjoy what s left of it and see you soon. *poof*

Ope, I got it. all I need now is the de4.

3:35 pm

3:35 pm

first de 4 = rhymes with appendages at end of legs

3:35 pm

second de 4 - store get lunch meat but different final vowel

3:35 pm

I don't know what appendages are.

3:36 pm

things at the end of the legs

3:37 pm

FIREWORKS! My first one ever!

3:38 pm

congratulations Mark

3:38 pm

Thanks. I have played for more than a month and I have never had fireworks before.

3:38 pm

what a great way to start off the new year

3:39 pm

but now you might become even more addicted to this game

3:39 pm

Does anyone in the Babble world now need clues?

3:40 pm

Wv, I doubt that is going to happen.

3:42 pm

Hello everybody, and a very happy 2011. :-)

3:51 pm

and a very properous new year to soodlebum

3:51 pm

Hello Soodle! How are you?

3:52 pm

Mark.. I have been playing for 5 yrs. now and have never had fireworks. Seems life gets in the way of ever finishing a grid... lol

3:52 pm

Oh, goodie! I thought I was on my own. Well done on your first fireworks, Mark.

3:53 pm

And thanks for the good wishes, Christa. Right back at you!! :-)

3:53 pm

You should get fireworks on this one. Thanks, soodle. Almost every word is in the top three rows.

3:53 pm

good clue thanks Mark

3:54 pm

Your'e welcome. Not every word is up there, because you can see the b there. But most are.

3:56 pm

Now I must leave everyone for dinner. Before I go, does anyone want a clue?

3:56 pm

So, how is the weather in Arizona, Christa? And, where in the world are you, Mark?

3:56 pm

tonight will be the third one for freezing... other than that wonderful... 60's

3:57 pm

Jeepers, this weather is totally freaky.

3:57 pm

Whenever my bio shows up with my picture Soodle, you will see that i come from and live in the Andromeda galaxy...lol

3:58 pm

I have much enjoyed your "words for women to live by" soodlebum

3:58 pm

LOL Mark. I come in peace!!

3:59 pm

I'm glad you like my words of wisdom, Christa. I try to live my life by them......

3:59 pm

Well, I can't exactly come to earth. I am a little too far away. Like, 300,000 light years.

4:00 pm

I understand fully Mark. Sometimes I feel like I am on another planet as well. LMAO!

4:01 pm

Golly, before I knew it I am down to 8 left. This must be an omen for 2011!

4:02 pm

Anyway, now I must go. It is time for a dinner the world has never seen before. One from Andromeda. Have you heard of this exotic food? "A cheeseburger". Outlandish, right? Anyway, I will see everyone tomorrow.

4:02 pm

Enjoy your galactic cheeseburger, Mark, and may the force be with you!

4:03 pm

Very clever Soodle. Bye everybody!

4:05 pm

Oh my. Fireworks. Pain free. Yahoo!

4:13 pm

Happy New Year Soodle!

guess not

9:13 pm

Happy New Year all...

9:13 pm

...just received an email regarding personal info being made public...

9:14 pm

...thought I'd pass the link on for those interested...

9:15 pm

www.spokeo.com = enter your name (if you live in the USA)...your name, address, phone number, home value, relationship(s), etc., will appear...

9:15 pm

...to remove yourself from this service simply copy the URL and click the "private" button in the bottom righthand corner and paste the URL back in where indicated.

9:17 pm

will post this same info in my profile for those interested in it and/or referring to others...

9:19 pm

pini -- be careful with that. the info they post is info that is already public (in phonebooks and such) and by signing up with their site (which you have to do in order to remove yourself from it) you will just verify your email address -- and who knows what they will do with that.

9:20 pm

My information is not posted in phonebooks tho...

9:20 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

9:20 pm

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

9:21 pm

it is probably posted somewhere that is public record. thats all...

9:22 pm

My understanding is that they're also getting information from FB and other social sites...

9:22 pm

...I'll keep an eye on it...thanks.

9:23 pm

I haven't even started this grid! Stayed up too late with neighbours celebrating NYEve, then played bridge sleepily this aftrernoon, got home to get dinner, and here I am, blearily.

11:02 pm

The grid is REALLY easy!Got over halfway listless and was able to finish the rest with list.I'm sure many did it listless though.Not a bad puzzle at all today jillibus.

11:03 pm

Was it a nice little grid or the usual meanie?

11:03 pm

O, I C, min -- sorry I missed it.

I was about to goto bed jillibus, but I can stay to help

11:05 pm

I'm so glad you're enjoying it, Min -- so few pay any attention to idon themes these days.

11:05 pm

Phantom words for me today were commune & needle

11:06 pm

Yes, I am guilty of that, but I really do like this theme

11:06 pm

(Expect lots of typos from me)

11:07 pm

Sprite had a nice cartoon in her profile for the theme

11:07 pm

I have to go and get the 9 ladies -- love yours, min -- like Fantasia

11:08 pm

Jillibus, do ya want me to stay around to help w/clues

11:10 pm

No thanks, Min -- I won't even start this one

11:10 pm

I hope you've had a happy time
