sorry to hear, Une, what a lovely picture you have of her
thanks, dee . . . I've been writing/editing her obituary and decided to go ahead and add some personal things . . .
that would be nice
we were very close . . . and I was able to cover her face with kisses before I left this afternoon . . . she passed about an hour later . . .
extraordinary, inspirational, dynamo of a woman
(hugs une)
what a lovely memory
:-D
:o(
I am envious of people who have that une.. it seems so far away for me.. but I am happy for you
am so glad my daughter was here at Xmas and was able to spend time with her -- she rallied briefly and seemed to understand her family was all around her
sometimes they fight to make it through the holidays.. b
how brave of her
just got back to see your news, une -- what a great tribute you are giving her.
i know -- i truly felt that was what she was doing -- she gave me the gift of one last Xmas and one last birthday together . . .
rough having to call my daughter and tell her her Mimi was gone . . .
they had a mutual admiration society :-)
ok, nearly 1:00am and I still have to take the pups out to pee . . . later, all -- hug your loved ones while you can :-)

Hi jilli,get the door to your fridge rehung yet?
yes, diem, and all's well, thanks
but it's been a busy day, filling the thing up. Dumb design -- lots of wasted space.
I'll get used to it eventually, I guess, but I had my old friend for 22 years!
did not owe you anything then jilli
But I miss it! Waah!
66 left for tomorrow going to watch news bye
you know, I am amazed as I watch home improvement shows at how often they call the kitchen remodel done and yet the fridge door is obviously backwards...
oooh, I sooo agree rb!
Une, I'm so sorry about your loss.....you and your family will be in my prayers.
fireworks
yay, Dee!
ty
and hugs to your family, Une.
Well, they're all made the same way now ans switching them takes time, as I saw today -- plus there's now a lttle knob where there was a screw for the handle on the other side.
Hooray dee!

Thanks, rbud, flosey and gortmold.

thanks rbud, for those 3
ti6.... they only want a heart..
surprised myself with those, tried them on a whim
haha, ty, m9
oh of course, thanks rbud

am nerdily but happily listening to 1963 kings college choir "miserere" where that itty bitty choir dude hits high c!
wow, ty, dalia
yw!
sends delicious shivers down my philistine spine
the in11 comes from the in9, in case someone didn't already know that

wd ish - yes, i was gobsmacked - it was the third word i found!!!
& I thought I was special!!!!
good morning everybody
aww you are!!! xxx
hello ishult
looking for the 11, you smarties!
There's that Ruby 'butting in' again
Hello everyone
hahah {{lynxx}}
I met a chow that looked like Ruby the other day - very pretty
I'll bet it was cleaner! she is very muddy at the moment.
Morning all, clue for un9 Please?
hello flask
hi Flask - a un - mmmm
un9 don't look for it in a book or magazine
lovely clue, lynxx, ty ty
Hello all. Anyone want any clues before I go and pack away the Christmas decorations?
yes pls, first letters of the 11!
hi Scouser, not for me thanks
how is the weather in Liverpool?
in Ruby
in and the 10th letter of alpha is in there too
Hi rubyfoo: sunny chilly and no problem. might get sleet tomorrow.
they said snow for here but instead we have rain and MUD!
big dog prints all over the house
Rubyfoo: mud falling from the sky?
it feels like!
must be a big dog to get on the house!
I walk around behind the dogs with a wet rag!
well done ondelay !
and dopey Max just lies out there in the wet grass and mud!
lol sorry - couldn't help it, images came all unbidden
hahah ondelay
poor Max - he's just taking a mud bath like the elephants do
interesting is it not that cats can climb on roofs no problem, but dogs are not known for it.
he looks like a homeless person's pet
Good morning everyone .... can anyone clue the re6 please the first one
hello norma
Hello ruby
hi Norma
hi lynxxx
chows have very stiff, inflexible legs and don't climb much, fortunately never on the furniture
Lynxxx....thanx for clue...|I got it!
If that is the re6.36 Norma - it means to deny or not accept
Hi Norma: re6 got 10th letter of alpha in middle
what is alpha?
alphabet
Thanks all
I have to sing the alpha song to count the letters!
ty for the re, scouser
I like the un9 - it is the complete opposite of all we do here
haven't got that far yet scouser .....
There is another word that should be in Enable, and which is all about what we can do in the chatterbox: witter !
or mu6 could be made into an adjective!
40 left for me - Goodnight all
good night lynxx, stay dry!!!
and ty for the un!
Goodnight lynxx sleep well
ok someone explain to a thick brit what an adjective is!!! lmao
I am stopping wittering now and will go and put away the baubles. I don't like today - my rooms look dark.
that thick brit being moi!!!
changing the character of a noun like "chatty Ruby"
husband and I have been arguing about taking the wreath down. I would like to keep it up for a month. As a concession, I took the cards down this AM
or naughty frog
As I have knocked said wreath off three times in the week as our front porch is narrow, that came down first.
that's what he keeps saying, that it's in his way
Tinsel in the hair is not recommended
it would be an improvement for me....
I don't want the holiday to be over
yes but not when you have armfuls of shopping and the grandchild too and you are practically horizontal trying to detach oneself from said wreath.
great image!
I notice that fireworks are being used more at New Year now and other occasions, as well as Bonfire Night. We ought to manufacture some more decorated holidays.
dogs hate the fireworks and they have them right in the village
I think Christmas decorations are performing the same function - bringing light into the house.
for nbt, right-hand e and left-hand n, pls
and cherriness
And I just remembered when I was little we used to have special dinner table fireworks: a little cone you lit that made a little orange-flamed volcano, and a tablet that made a long worm of ash across the table. Great
cheeriness* wet Ruby just came in with a tiny lizard running alongside
I remember those ash things from when I was a kid, but never in the house....
right-hand e is like Muslim ceremony with another vowel on end; left hand n is something Latin-y and ends in m
I thought lizards were dormant in the winter
thank you, scouser, now I can make husband his campari!
see you later for last 57, hahah
Precisely about the lizard: dormant means they wake up as soon as they are warm enough. Perhaps the dog sat on lizard's nest and warmed it up?
Byee all
bye scouser

Hiya Is the 11 obvious?
muet
whoops - but wrong!
I think the 11 is pretty easy to find
when you see it - it is easy!
I found it too! wow!
and good morning my dear friends
Good morning!
good morning car!
you are up early today!
Did I say I'd seen it??????? Sadly no
Not early...on time!
do you want a little nudge, smaa?
Please
in11, start with the top row i. a common enough word
I'm sorry! I thought you'd gotten it
car, we have ice on torrey pond if your fry want to skate today
They have swimming today.
solid water, liquid water.....it's exercise either way! :)
But it must go down and carry on along row 2? Was thinking hospital doctor but stuck with at in7,28
btw, is there even a place to get skates sharpened around here, now that decathalon has closed? does keith's do it?
I don't know.
you have the right start smaa - forget about doctors, follow your instincts re: the second row, and then head for the bottom
It reminds me of School House Rock!
phantom internecine
I suppose if I were giving compass directions, I would say go south, east, south west, southeast, then west
morning esprit!
gm to ya tri
Thank you - done
Big surprise...I need the lower N for NBT...again!
Good morning EspritdJean!
gm car
btw, car, have you seen this? I have watched it 100 times, and I still lose my head each time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr9_5uZ n6ds
No. Will check it out though. I am bracing for an ugly morning here.
what's with the ugly morning?
that video will make you crack up laughing. it's the silliest thing! some poor woman was trying to interview elmo and ricky gervais.....
Max and Dyl had a horrible run in yesterday at school...she told everyone that his Dad didn't live here anymore...which upset him terribly! She hasn't been here all week, but of course, today I have her!
oh dear! well, he doesnt'....why did it upset dylan so much, do you think? and was max being malicious, or just trying to normalize her own experience? as in, I have no mommy, he has no daddy?
I am waiting to find out the details from the teacher...but Dyl was just so sad and hurt and he thinks everyone will tease him now...and there is a bus stop where the Daddy gets the kids off the bus...I miss daddy....and on it went.
hmmm. I think today should be pretty telling. sometimes kids have amazingly short memories for that sort of thing
He was PISSED!
I really can't imagine that maxine was being malicious. to me it sounds more like she is going through the process of figuring out where everyone in her class stands - who has a dad, who has a mom, etc
I will let you know. Off to the bus with Z. BBL
why would everyone tease him? maxine has no mom....and I assure you, he is in no way the only kid in the school, or probably even in his class who doesn't live with his dad
kiss
Sometimes, abbreviations confuse me. Someone posts "gm car" which means "good morning Car". I assume they are cluing a General Motors car. Yeesh.
lol molly! how are you today, dear?
morning, help with in9 pls
it's the present tense of the in11, peri
ty but do not have the in11
let's see, a word meaning to interrupt
I'm doing well, hope everyone here is too.
using the highest tile on the board
aha, now I have it. ty. was on at the flip and lots of people were finding them both and I was feeling quite dumb
oh, hey - just found the in6, 27....never heard that word before, only the word they use when things go the other way...that is, the ex6
bbs
you are never, ever dumb peri! some words just hide is all
Peri, that is why I will never play at the flip. Those people make me feel dumb just reading the chat log.
ok, that is NBT for me and I am off to work. I pray every has a wonderful time
have a good day sue
OK, NBT, NBS, good morningandoff to coffee.
Hi bye Kap
molly, did you see the video link I posted before, for car?
hello all - is the grid abit tricky tonight or am I just dumber than usual

hi all.....clue please for ti6/21 please?

Yes, I wish it was the whole interview though! Too funny! "When did you lose the interview?"
Hi Flask

Good thanx Eva....yourself??
Good morning to all that I missed!
ricky and elmo have the same laugh....
Hi Car

Hey car.
Hi Flask!
Hi Eva!

And you know i have the Songs from the Street CD set, right?

You can borrow that anytime!
yes car, I do. and you can borrow my saturday morning one!
Swap!
i can't believe how hard that ricky gervais/elmo thing made me laugh. It is so so so funny!
I am going to head into the living room...dyl should be up soon and I want to be there to fend off any attacks!
does anyone have both the i words from the lowest i? I have one id4. what is the count for the other, please?
nm. got it. thanks for the psychic clue, whomever sent it
de 7/36 plz
oohhh just got it !

Good Morning ALl. Nice clue, ivesy3
ty, thinks its my first clue i have given lol
well; welcome to Babble and keep on cluing, then! :-)
ty!
woot! got the 11-letter word!
had you played for a while before going Pro?
hi again, hoya. Good for you!
ty! gm nef
this grid isn't as friendly as many of the recnt ones; I'm finding it hard to get NBT this AM
i started strong, but am petering out
so it isn't just me? For some reason, that's comforting! ;-)
yesterdays was insane - never seen so many vowels
I had a long clinic day yesterday; I don't think I even opened the page....
you didnt miss much
just a lot of e's and o's. only 43 words in the puzzle
LOL! Good to know!
Could I please have some letter counts for the left column N and the 4th row E's (both of them) I'm not seeing any words from those letters at all
okay, skip that right E. I found it
all I have is a ne4/6 and a ne6/21
Thanks, FM! Haven't seen you lately; how are you?
Fine thanks, been busy with work and stuff. Hope all is well with you too.
I'm doing okay; just very busy here too. (I'm starting to think I need a vacation!)
lol know that feeling. Hows hubby doing?
he's doing wonderful! using a cane or "wall walking" in the house (uses the wall if necessary for balance) No one ever thought he'd do this well!
Excellent news, so glad.
that ne 4/6 is a weird word
sure is
FINALLY! NBT! (never thought I'd do it before asking for clues)
true, and the ne6 is one dogs/cats won't be too keen on.
hello hoya
does that mean you got at least one word for each tile?
hi FM
yes, hoya.
wall walking....it works nef...hi all..is this a friendly grid?
Hi carlee so far so good but am in the early stages.
hi carlee. *I* didn't find it to be too friendly at the start (I only have 36 words so far; so now I'll play "for real"
ok...well..as my first word found was a 7...i will reserve comment
nice carlee
very nice indeed
nire
i am liking the upper right corner for words....
*le sigh* keep getting the red bar of doom, will come back later.
Ooops! But it's not a WORD!
half-time in PB? ha
i was going to say...seems slow
bye for now, FM hope to see you later!
bye nef
It is slow carlee, toodles all for now.
hoya, go to FM's profile and click on her Flicker pics. You will see what the PB looked like originally
later fm
haahaha...that was fun... those were the days
I'm not leaving, hoya, FM said she was. (It's my day off, and I can play for a while)
true, carlee; but I like the pool and cabana boys too! ;-)
got it. that PB looks awesome. i may started typing words in the chog...
i am off today, but am feeling guilty bc ignoring my kids to play!
and turn Pro too? :-)
*bad mama!*
i think i will - first time i will ever spend money on online gaming...i can usually find something else to play, but this is just too fun. keeping the alzheimer's at bay...
DH is still sleeping; once he wakes up "we're" going to un-decorate from Christmas and clean the house
same hoya..this is the only online gaming i have spent money on
it really does, hoya. I think it's great mental exercise and very relaxing too
I'll be honest: I paid for another online word game and it cost more and I really never got my money's worth from it
what was it?
just a sec and I'll check
one more for nbt
ok..mbt in 24
I think it was quote puzzler?
good for you, carlee; MUCH better than I did!
must have been awesome if you can't remember the name of it - ha!
thanks nef
I had joined several sites back 4-5 years ago while recuperating from an injury and several surgeries. But I'd already been pro here at that point. There were several people who played on a lot of game sites back then
I found this site from others in a role-playing game that my son had me join
iLOVED boggle and sorry and yahtzee on games.com until they pulled them for copyright issues i guess. there is still an online boggle but you dont play against others. that was the fun part!
there is a boggle like times game called noggin on fb
i'll have to check it out
timed* game even
I grew up playing lots of board games. The problem I've always had is that I'm competitive; but also want to help others so they can win too!
we are doing more board games at home now
good morning, babblers and other game addicts
hu 6/27 plz
kids went through astage they didnt like them..now friend of my kids are coming over to play..they dont even OWN board games....
that's why this site is so great: it's not playing against another person as much as playing against yourself
hints for the J word?
ives...when u dress in orange vests and sit in a blnd waiting for deer and you have your rifle ready.u are onw of these
our home is board- and card-game central - my 4-yo loves uno and yahtzee!
Good morning JVB. (((JVB)))

oh a few years before you :) - Ph.D. in Linguistics, 1985
awesome! hoya saxa!
its an arnold movie....full of action....taking out elves...
LOL! EvaN, I don't think I'd go see that one!

hi Eva!
I loved living there - lived in Arlington for 8 years
hola. :)
BRB. heating up water for another cuppa...
JBV! I didn't know you used to be a local.
you know, sometimes wh4/9 my monkeys are working we find some good non-words that should be words. I think "remute" should really BE a WORD!
ty for the clue for hu 6/27 finally got it!
it was a while ago, Molly, but we had some great years there
The Commonwealth is a pretty place. I have friends who live there.
started out with one-year fellowships in the Carter administration, then when Reagan came in, found some other things to do..
then I became a full-time student for a few years - that was the best!
morning molls
Morning Carlee

numert
ei 4/5
oops penalty box for me!!
oooh..got a 9
no, cw; that wasn't a WORD. You can't go to the PB yet
whew thanks Vef!!
hehehe...we've made the pb too good to be true now people trying to get in
ahh. yay for tea. already on my second cuppa. :)
Getcher tickets here! Getcher ticket to the PB right here!
hints for the left-hand N?
LOL, carlee, I find that the PB is a reward more than a penalty! ;-)
left over cake balls in there today
ne 4/6
cake balls? im STILL traumatized from making them at christmas last year -- i must stay OUT of the PB today!
TY nef
oh dear....poor eva...i dont enjoy them much myself...but the kiddoes LOVE them....
what is a cake ball?
carlee, care to share your 9?
nef -- picture cake, in ball form, with icing mixed in, covered in chocolate.
its an un9 law that food porn is essential to babbleland
like rum balls or Russian tea balls?
ahh, thanks carlee!
like rum balls nef....but for people who dont do "from scratch"..or rather..cant do
u can mix andmatch flavours of cake and frosting...and use white or dark chocolate to coat
I think I'll pass on them this year.
whilst choc coating still unset..u can sprinkle with sprinkles or chopped nuts...
that's me--no baking from scratch!
hi all
ty for the 9 and 7
hi jmc
but...with the # of kids i deal with on a weekly basis....sometimes not from scratch is the fastest method
and how were ron and rand JMC...did you give them my regards:p ?
i enjoy baking from scratch. but def not with cake balls -- mixes all the way!
I personally don't care for any type of baking.
i did--i was bored as hell as usual
they sent back puzzled looks
Hello all. Hope you are having a nice day. very wet here.
oh dear....what was the look on ms pelosi's face??? I imagine like she sucked on fish oil
she was politely smiling on the screen--she did not attend the parties I went to
hi red
to which I went
*d&%n mother for getting in my head*
un9 is long enough, how are we to get an 11 out of this grid??
hi hursh
make it past tense, hurshy
the 11 is a regular word. hursh, would anyone like a clue for it at all?
hi red and everyone
in 9 and in 11
it already is past tense...
ins, ok!
annie Hello!
please, red. I'd like a clue
hi red, Annie, hursh, jmc
in 11
Hi JBV
got em!
just got the 9 and 11
It is a 9 and then a PT 11, if you interrupt someones conversation you may add in a comment this way. Almost like a vaccine you give as well..
Hello jbv.
Chat is buzzing today.
i would like to in9 here a story!
thanks, red! :-)
and can anyone tell me what the other 8's start with, besides the re8?
sure, go ahead, jmc
please do jmc...going to get coffee made so i can come back and see what was wr7
YW, jmcR, we are waiting!
that is the only 8 I have
my son called me tuesday from his new job and sounding blue
(wonders if jmc really has a story or was just cluing)
where is he now, jmc?
i thought darn it turned out not to be as advertised and he is bummed out
jobs, ugh.
(a little of both hursh--I always have a story)
i said how did the job go and he said it was wonderful everything he wanted and more so
why blue then?
he liked the boss, his coworkers, the work he was doing and he was pleased that the business model was even better than he imagined
but he totaled his car
oh, No!
i don't suppose he works in new haven and they're hiring more people...
Oh no!
i said (as you would expect)OMG! are you alright? (he drives a tiny miata)
Is he ok?
he said there was a bus blocking both driving lanes left in the street because of the construction and he was making a U-turn and a suburban came flying and T'ed his passenger door sent the car up in the air and down on top of another suburban
wow!
he is fine, the other drivers were nice, and he can get his already broken passenger door fixed
OMG!
OMG! That sounds terrible!
oh how awful
wait, i thought you said it was totaled?
i was pretty shook up thinking of him sandwiched between two suburbans
how awful
he said that--I am not so sure
if they are talking about fixing, then, that is contradictory to the idea of totaled.
it also smash his windshield and front bumper and hood so we will see.
well, I am just glad he is alright.
how old is his car? If it's older, they may total it if the cost of the repair is high
that is a small car. he could have been hurt quite terribly.
he's like me, spectacular car accidents without injury!
well he takes it to the shop today so we will know soon
we bought it last summer--2009
about the same time i bought my saab
my dtr. had 2 cars that the insurance company said were totalled because of the age of the car
thank god for that hursh for you and him
but it is an older model
okay; so it may not be totalled
Wow, what an upsetting week for him!
but he does love his new job! and this summer it will even pay him
and he has a new roomie that cuts the rent in half so in many respects things are good.
is he in 6/18ing now?
so that is my story and I must run off to make a sandwich and go to work. . . bbl
bye, jmc
lol yes he is an in6/18
bye all
good morning all
hi wv. How are you today?
good - got up early and got all my errands done early and now i'm home and ready to make a pot of soup and babble
and you nef?
oh-oh DH is up. Now I'll have to start cleaning up the house! (I want to be lazy today; but toomuch to do this week)
JMC, I'm glad your boy is okay.
I'm doing fine, wv. My dtr. and I are having friends over this Saturday for an in-home sales party
so all of the Christmas stuff comes down today (besides; it is Jan. 6th -the Epiphany- wh4/9 we normally un-decorate)
well, fireworks here, I've got to get moving, too - I have the first of several appointments with financial advisors (read: salesmen) -
and Happy 3 Kings Day to those who celebrate
Good morning everyone
take care, JBV. have a good day in spite of that
Hey Mr. Bob
thanks, Nef - I plan to resist sales pressure, just getting information right now
BBL; gotta get going here! Happy Babbling, Everybody!
*pokes chog*
ouch
oh! hello froggle. didnt mean to poke quite so hard. :)
that's ok, i'll heal eventually
my i offer you a bandaid? cold compress? heating pad?
no i'll just sit and moan, i usually do. lol
i find that to be effective also. :)
MOOOOM!!! Eva's poking again!!!!!
snitch.
My phantom today is spice.
my phantom is entice - good morning everyone
Well TNana, spice is enticing, so we're on a roll here.
hi eva, responding to poke...
Look at Red celebrating Little Christmas.
its the theme today, I had tp rid myself of spa pants...
speaking of epiphany (as nef was) - my husband just drove 2 hours to procure a traditional french epiphany cake (galette des rois), and now he's on his way back.
I hope it is excellent!
well i personally am not that big a fan of the cake itself. but it's a nice tradition and he spent 10 years of his childhood in france so he likes to do it. he didn't go as far last year but that bakery wasn't making them this year and we had already invited people over...
What gets hidden in those things? I forgot. There is a baby in a King Cake.
well nowadays they hide kinda whatever. just one thing, though, not like a christmas pudding. the one last year had a seal (the animal).
but the bakery provides a paper crown so whoever gets the item can be the king or queen.
Paper? Phooey. If I'm going to be queen, I want a diamond tiara. : D
i'm nervous though. i have such insomnia troubles and i have to have my routine in the evening to help me sleep, so i kinda have to kick the guests out early, and i feel bad.
if only it had fallen on a friday instead of a thursday.
hello everybody. Dinner is cooking
hi all. any clue for de 7?
Hursh, it's your party. You can shut it down whenever you want to. Have fun.

afternoon all! just grabbed my lunch outta the fridge and reheated the leftovers... got a god one today!
todays menu: salad with french dressing panko-crusted chicken strips with honey mustard dipping sauce mandarin oranges
how about ti 6? anyone have a clue?
What's panko?
dico
panko is an asian-style breadcrumb. really like + flaky + makes things nice + crispy.
Thanks. (Sorry about that).
no worries. it makes foods super-tasty. :)
te 6 anyone?
alas, i didnt feel like waiting for the toaster over, so i reheated my chicken strips in the microwave, which sorta negates the crunchiness of the panko, but oh well!
sorry ruru dont have it.
good afternoon everyone:)
afternoon crossy!
What's different about panko as opposed to regular bread crumbs? The spices?
un 5 12 needed the second one plesae.
got it..
crossy is doing sweet and spicy pulled pork in da slow cooker,with apples and honey and mustard and chilli sauce and paprika and tomato paste and garlic...mmm cook on low for 6-7 hours,pull the pork and serve on crunchy onion buns with a nice salad on the side;)
molly, its the texture... i dunno how to explain it, but if you do an image search for panko, you can see the difference
te 6 = numer + not me + note of the scale
ahh, crossy. i was about to ask what deliciousness you were whipping up today. :)
oh and onions
I'll take the spicy part of the pulled pork. I can't abide sweet and spicy together. I might try that with just the spicy stuff.
then omit the honey and brown sugar
molly, if i were going to make, say, meatloaf, i could use regular breadcrumbs. but for something fried or tempura or something like that, go with panko, as they turn out nice + crispy
and add more chilli powder
ok here is a tough one: the un 5 12, second one: went to more words and i dont see a word inbetween the one above and one below. very strange.
to remove a diamond from it mounting
was my frist word lol
just got it. oh my. sorry.
ty cross.
np:)
need ti and te 6 words.
TE6 = number + not me + do re me fa so la ** do
ti - metal + males
and good morning everyone
ty flossy. got it.
yw mkg
hi flosey
got both. ty flosey
I see what you mean about the panko Eva, I'll have to try some. Can you get it in a regular grocery store?
i got mine at safeway, in the asian food section.
need re 7 32 flosey. do you have it? the first one not the second. have the 5 above it. do they relate?
re + con***** to ask when you need clues
Eva, I'll never forget the night you were chatting on Babble from Safeway. That was classic.
ty got it.
yw
hey, thats why i love technology. :)
im sure there are stories of the gal who couldnt find the chili sauce in the Safeway logs now.
firewks. ty flosey.
ty flosey that got me 3 big words;)
crossy loves to cook with chilli sauce
good for you crossy
:)
crossy -- it was hiding from me in the grocery store. i whipped out my smartphone, logged onto babble + asked where to find it. i was in the right place, but it was totally hiding -- it even took TWO store employees to find it!
lol,you can pat me on the head and give me a lolly now flosey:)
wtg mkg, congrats
lol,took me a while also eva,they dont keep it where you expect
oh, it was where i expected, alright. but apparently they were running low, and it was all the way to the back of the shelf and someone had put other items in front of it.
okay you two... where can we find it? :)
in the condiment aisle, near the steak sace + cocktail sauce. hiding behind the sriracha!
mmmmmm..... sriracha.....
ahhhh.... thanks, I'll look for it.
just look for the sriracha, push those bottles aside, and the chili sauce will be cowering behind it all the way at the back of the shelf...heh
most oriental stores carry it - seems not all grocers carry it around here
the manager gal had to walk up + down the aisles with me and even she couldnt see it. finally, her coworker started reading all the labels until she found it.
con? to ask?????
hi all
hi jmc ... keep on asking ;)
to be con*****ed...
????????? *confuzled*
We will con***** with our program after these messages
RE7 = re + to be con*****ed

TY jmc. thats NBT and NBS for me, and over halfway!

:) Seriously though, it's getting out of date fast because we are emerging (officially, anyway) out of the recession. I've also received so many suggestions for another edition that I'm thinking it's time to reissue an updated. We'll see.
i am still short of nbt
well that is the problem with such things of course. I just got an email today saying my webpage was out of date and we just put it up over christmas break!
OH!! JMC, just read your icon. LOL!!
ahh. that was a tasty lunch. probably shoulda saved the oranges for later, but i wanted something sweet immediately. after having yogiberry after dinner last night, im craving FroYo with granola and fruit!
i liked it
phone
Does anyone else think that English is Eva's second language? Yogiberry? FroYo?
I have a favorite I'll try and remember to put up for next Thanksgiving. Shows the Pilgrims waiting to land at Plymouth Rock, but the natives have built a fence. One Pilgrim says, "They won't let us in because we refuse to learn their language or assimilate into their culture."
molly, you live in MoCo -- you should be familiar with YogiBerry!
I sent a copy to my brother, who completely agrees with Arizona's new law, but he didn't get the humor. :)
Happy Thursday, Babble buds!
Hi Judi. And all else, my apologies for bringing up a charged topic. I didn't mean to shut down the chat. I'll dive into the grid now ... (( hugs to all ))
Yo Yo, I live in MoCo, where is my FroYo?
duh! clearly its at YogiBerry. ;)

i have 51 but i have only just got back from this morning so i have got 16 in the last 20 minutes or so
ruby, care to share?
BBL. Off to do a little shopping.
{{bichon}} sure! do you mean the big one?
9 is to interupt someone taking and 11 is past tense
does the di 6 come off the di 4?
di 5 even
yes, ruby, the bigger the better
bury (there are two different bury words, both with in) + flu in****ion and pt
I kept getting stuck on the wrong one
i have a di 6 which means an order - could be another way of saying bad stomach
Is anyone else having trouble with the word "hunt"?
no
hi flask and no and person who does it?
flu ?
other word for shot
I have both, but for hunt its saying 20 letters and 114 points!!!!!
Bich, think vaccination a flu shot in*******
that's crazy, flask
ooh err mssus mines says 4/6
Ruby, I didn't know that in 627 meant bury. Now I know what you were talking about earlier.
got it, but it's not a shot, but a part of peech
that's why I was so confused, couldn't put the end of what you see in a mirror (face?) on it
*speech
have u tried refreshing flask

my favorite word in this grid is se6/24 tank
I'm checking flights in your direction; that pork sounds wonderful! what cut do you use

pulled pork is a favorite of my husband. When I make it he goes wild
and add third cup honey,sweet mustard,2 cups apples ,2 cut finly cut onions,paprika,1 tbs brn sugar,2 tbs of worchester sauces and a few other secret things
I've never had it but I would love it, I'm sure.
I'll look it up
far to many ns for my liking tonight still got 5 to find and i am stumped
chilli powder,chilli sauce,tomato paste....
We've had it in N. Carolina and it was heavenly
garlic...
do you rub that all over the pork and leave it in a low oven
i love using slow cookers;))
indeed kazz,in slow cooker on low for 7 hours
I'm sitting in the Detroit airport salivating
then you pull the pork,mix with sauce and serve on onion buns
with a nice salad and a good bottle of vino
what are you doing in Detroit?
that sounds like something i might try for one of our barbeque nites
my recipie serves 6-8
you are all making me hungry and I've already eaten.....
Waiting an enormously long time for my connection to San Francisco
lol ruby

I have the Himalayan mythical creature, but not the other y
nm, got the other y
put another consonant on the end instead of the vowel, then do the same with the n
not the ne with the two consonants, but not the other one
add he sometimes vowel
rhymes with the j

I have watched Lost in the past, but not since the finale last year. Why?
In + Desmond's last name
ty Molly. Is that to b ury?
I guess so. That is what Ruby said. And it makes sense since the ex version of that word means to dig up.
fireworks for me - off to get some dinner - the world is my lobster tonight as hubby is not coming home till late

CAn someone tell me what the 11 starts with, please

Afternoon/evening Babblers!
Just so you know Red, I am wearing my sauna pants today since you are in keeping with the icon theme. : D
hi-YA!
I do feel better knowing that Molly! Hello kje.
Kje, I think I missed your birthday. Happy Belated.
ty!
I am very pleased, I have made it to 45 left no list, but wow. I still have that N in the left column blank!!!
to fix a male dog red
I have 44 left and dont have nbt - need the E next to that N
and hello everyone
The nu*** professor
et + most of frozen water
that comes from the other N.
but thanks for the male dog repair!!!!
the left column N is to fix a male dog
Yes River it is, but the nu*** professor is not.
Sorry Red ne + hesitation word
thanks for the E clue kje
If you write a paper you often have to Ed** it before handing it in...
Then add an e for another.
Oooh thanks MOlly! that was a neat clue!
yw
Not mine, I borrowed it from someone who clued that word earlier.
and kings and such often declare ed***s.
I liked it Molly!
thanks red
It would be so cool if when someone says "I need the n in the first column" if you clicked on that and the words that come from it would highlight in your word list.
duh on that ed4 - cant believe I didnt see that
I think that is coming with the new babble when completed
River, don't feel bad. I went to Catholic school for 12 years and seldom see nu 4/5 when it's in the grid.
wonder when that might happen...
Molly, that may be on purpose!
Yeah Red, it's probably Freudian.
As for the new Babble, don't know when it's supposed to debut. Seems like it's been in the works for a long time now.
New Babble. Do you know how it will be different?

Dear Job, I wake up very early in the morning, commute an hour in to the office, sit at my desk for 8 hours doing nothing, and commute another hour home. I have lots of chores/errands/work that I should be doing at home, but by the time I get there, I am too tired from doing nothing at my job all day to get anything done. So basically I do nothing all day long. I propose that, while there is no work for me to do in the office, you allow me to stay home so I can at least complete the things I have to do there. You continue to pay me my salary, and you just let me know when there is actually something for me to do -- then I will return to the office. How does that sound? Sincerely, Me.
Bored at your job, Eva :-)
oh dear, Eva :( I'll put the jacuzzi on...
i have a headache. :( i think its from doing nothing but making and drinking tea all day long...
aww. and now ive gone and killed the chog.
Nope, Eva was just concentrating on getting my last word..Fireworks for me.
congrats zooz!
Eva are you seeing this stuff about packages exploding in MD State Buildings?
yes, i just saw it! not good!
whoooohoooo Zooz!!
My first take on the early reports is that it's the work of some jr. leaguer.
hopefully its not going to turn into a spree. :/
i think i shall mosey to the list...

i'm alright, stid. how're you?
good. very tired. I am not making the transition back to being a student very smoothly. Otherwise... enjoying the new year!
so, a trip in the Spring somewhere that Southwest flies from WAS has been proposed. Suggestions?
what is WAS? Dulles?
WAS is IAD, BWI, and DCA
LOL okay, will go see the options. brb
like NYC is JFK, NWK, and LAG
looks like new orleans is an option -- do you prefer "nightlife" or "scenery?"
Portland rocked for the hiking, the sea, and the urban life. I go to mountains here by default. I'm open to suggestion.
STIDDY!!!{{monster hugs}}

em5 goes with what yoy use on your nails
haha, red

LOL red... nice
"no, i got it now too. but thanks for asking boo" was not found in the dictionary.
Good greif!
Tres bien Red. I've sweat off five pounds today. : D
yike! better get some water molly!
ok nurses, i need some thoughts
hi TO!
If it isn't anatomy tonight, I may be able to help, TO
hi nrk!
why does my muscle feel so sore after flu shot? Feels weak. i asked the nurse who gave it, all she said was "shouldn't"
when did you get the shot?
this afternoon.
You were probably tense when she put the needle in, TO (some people tighten up
Agree with nef...
I hate shot
ty.
Just use some gentle heat, some tylenol or advil and it should be better tomorrow
getting my flu shot tomorrow or Sat... must remember not to tense
I didn't get one this year
wish i had known that
I've been procrastinating on getting the shot, but if I don't go by Sat, then I have to wait a month
and wow TO glad you got the shot. We have had lots of flu since november...
I always try to distract the person I give shots to (including DH's weekly shots)
we have had three deaths since jan firs tin thi scounty
I got mine back in September. But this is the first year I did it and I am so glad I did. have had 3 illnesses since, but none were very severe...
It really makes a difference. We give our clients flu shots at our clinics too; as long as they are relaxed, they haven't complained
only on eof the deaths was in someone who had underlying factors
all three were young
I hate getting flu shots though because I don't get the flu, so the shot seems like a waste
were they older people, TO? I hear that this year it seems to be pretty tough on the older populating here
any clue on the ti 6, 21??
just keep washing your hands and you won't get it
red, wizard of oz metal guys
Yes, Boo, thats what I said last year. I got Flu A, then Flu B and then the Swine flu. But I do work in a rather high risk area for getting the flu.
i have never had it
ouch, so sorry that you got sick..not nice
washing your hands is good; also disinfect phones, hand rails, and don't touch your face! (and get the shot)
i got it because of working in close quarters and to protet my dad from it
you did the right thing, TO.
well i am very very tired. i don't hink i will lst last tonight.
Well, people with the flu come to where I work purposely, but yes, washing hands makes a huge difference as well as keeping hands out of eyes nose and mouth. which seems so basic, but then I catch myself rubbing at my eyes or nose...when it itches...
take something for pain, use some heat on your arm, and hope you're better in the AM, TO
ty. i am so tired i think i can just sleep on it
yes red that is right.
but i cannot imagine the i words, thought i look and look
if you have one of those heat pack you put in the microwave, put that on it.
i's are a little tricky tonight TO
my Mom did not get the shot this year. since she rarely goes out, and such I think for her it will be alright.
well i think then i will go read "the last boy" until i fall asleep
no one has the Ti 6?
good night TO!
red, I clued it for you
Wizard of Oz metal men
feel better TO!
just clued, red
sorry, I think I buried the clue in the middle of the chat
good night TO

good night all!
night nrk!
well i amd own to 37 - stay or go, stay or go...
nite nrkii!
stay TO, you can finish!
take some tylenol and finish while waiting for it to work, TO! ;-)
nef i have none. i cannot take anything else either.
oh dear. I can't take anything else either; but I don't dare ever run out of tylenol
me either, but, I can see how it could happen.
i am recovering from bleeding ulcer at present
YUK! (((TO))) take care of yourself!
clue for in 9 please
in9= interrupting
this grid is hard
I agree

A highway is an *****state. A flu shot is an in*******

Why is watching Dr Phil like watching a train wreck you just can't walk away
merely suggesting that email may be needed :)
oh
great question, herin. I so don't miss TV
i couldn't figure out what clue it was. and then i tried to make it be a metro line (which they totally are) but couldn't figure out why it mattered. but sure. a code alert. mmhmm. i'll pay complete attention now.
It is interesting. I am using it to read people. I love the lawyer who is rude as all get out and she is slow as can be. First she ''surveys the room'' then introduces herself. In anyone with a brain takes a nano second
I was discussing subway lines with an online friend earlier. i'm having fun watching the Silver Line construction. They're building the Wiehle Ave (Pronounced Wheelie) station. Doesn't look like the existing above ground stations at all.
does it actually look like something?
dcsein, someone told me the new line to Tysons was called the Silver Line, and I said it should be called the Platinum Line LOL
not quite yet, but it's coming along. It's boxy looking with seeming more columns than the current ones.
haha
LOL monkey :) Tolls went up on the Dulles Toll Road. It's now 1.25 at the main toll plaza
Can i have a hint for the 9 leter word that isn't in9?
Bah did you breath and get a tol;?
opp of wr7/44
hi folks
Hi Welk
my station will be 1/3 mile from my house - hello prop values!
it's a shame they aren't using the tolls for road signs
mark you get it?
hoyadoc, are u really a doc?
I didn't get it yet.
i don't have wr7/44
Virgnia does not believe in Signage, though here in NoVA it's gotten better over time
i am. mark, there is an ***** rule about blurting out answers
a book is wr7
oh thanks for clue, hoya
Still don't have it.
i live in maryland. and at age 16 when i had first gotten my license was unprepared for their different theories on signage.
i can imagine, brid! I was shocked at 17 to learn that in MD, the really mean 15 if that's what the yellow sign on the ramp off the hwy says. in VA 15 on a ramp means 35-40.
um, song by natasha bedingfield...
heh
ew all these in words!
I don/'t even have my licence
un+ w4/8 + number of commandments
What does the 9 start with other than in please
the em words are killing me
that's cool, herin. I know several people here that don't drive also
un9, herin
herin check my clues at 806, 804, 802

herin, there is an un9 rule in Babble that you go to the PB if you say a woooooooord

Thank you so much

Molly funny you say that guess who is on my tv?

Don't get me wrong. I love Dolly. Not sure about her affection for that Cyrus creature though.

I got to see her in a USO show on the W side of the US Capitol a few years back.
Lucky you.
i miss walking down to the USO, Marine Band, Army Band, and Navy Band performances.
during college we always went to the labor day/mem day concerts - one year it rained and was in the kennedy center - still free!
exactly, hoya :)
OMG i ordered Tom an Absinthe Fountain, and it came also with 6 absinthe spoons :) that was unexpected
(I finally opened the shipping box -- gift arived 3 days ago. LOL the cat just spilled packing peanuts by overturning the box trying to climb in
Link please
http://tinyurl.com/2g3z5d6 is what i ordered
hi all! how's the grid going for everyone?
i bought it from the seller that has it in stock there now
HI ballet
crossy,s slow cooker ,sweet and spicy pulled pork was amazing!!:)
DC that is awesome
polly parton....
hi, ballet
howdy crossy, glad to hear :)
wb, carlee
howdy dc
(fireworks!)
I went to a bar and they actually had the indignity to serve the absinthe with sugar water bah
ok..so... the people who signed up for my pay it forward creative..I SO hope they like what am doing :0
*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~* for ballet
thanks carleekat!
not sugar water you strain it through a carlamized cube of sugar
carlee, tell me about this PIF creative?
Hi Carlee and Crossie
howdy herin
its a thing on fb....u post that the next 5 people who comment AND do the same posting on their FB... you will send something u make...
i read somewhere the other day about this woman doing an art project a day with a stranger's prized (but unuseful or broken) possession and then sending it back to them. Now I can't stop thinking about interesting ways to use my art skills and improve people's spirits
they ought drip the water over the absinthe sugar cube, infidels
like i said
oh that sounds lovely, carlee! and then you know the sorts of things they might like!
(ooh i love the word "infidel" dc!)
no..u have no idea... but...u know the person made fo ryou in mind..
DC I got the snottiest response when I said Sugar cube please with spoon.
oh...
absinthe is expensive,,and should be served correctly
tsk is all i have to say to that, and hear, hear crossy
gonna pick up the packing peanuts
my friends had absinthe in Venice when I was studying there. I didn't drink at the time and found the whole fire thing a little offputting. But I enjoyed watching them do it together! And they had a sugar cube and a spoon. :)
we did turkey ala king for dinner..and my son just brought home cheese pizza from amazing pizzaria here in town..
carlee i did the same thing today :) still deciding what to make
Sorry guys, I was a little distracted for a while. Hey ballet, crossy and carlee!
hi mark!
I told the woman that is not how they served it. Funny thing was the next day I went on the web and looked at a review or two. Most responses were bar jockies not having a clue
branch water is historically correct for absinthe
i will say thiis much.... i am felting...
i think a lot of bars just serve it for the trendiness... i doubt they really know how it should be made.
ooh lovely, carlee. I'd enjoy seeing some of your pieces sometime if you ever post photos!
I just started my relative on this game. She is playing for her time before and after surgery.
That is why I picked the cheap one as I figured no clue
you take 1/2 glass of branch water and set a strainer over it..place a sugar cube in said strainer, run the shot of absinthe thru sdaid cube and flambe the cube and drop it into the glass
I don't know why I said that. I guess I have nothing to say;
cant post these...i want them to be a surprise when they arrive :0...
that's a great idea, Mark. Babble can't take your attention away from problems.
hope she recovers well, Mark
well..who is this person you introduced to babble mark?
and by can't i meant can :P
haha
My grandmother
you make a absinthe drink the way samuel clemmons took his
Hi gramma!
hi again.
Puts hand up I know how to serve it I love the stuff. This bar is meant to be the best and now is the worse
Hello Nef!
Hey, Mark! Congrats on going Pro!
Thanks! You like my Andorran flag?
oh mark, I hope she gets better!
Hi Nef

DUH! Helps if I read the profile, huh?
hi herin. How are you doing?
Too freeking hot
Andorra is a tiny principalty in the Pirineos between Spain and France
i don't know what the mountains are called in Engilsh, sorry.
Hey all! congrats on the pro status, Mark!
Well, you can have some of our cold - it's 10 degerees F here
hi stiddy

Hi Stid.
Nef hell and no. I hate cold. I would rather crank the aircon
hi stid
evening, nef
*offers lady a tall iced tea to beat the heat*
the news is telling us we will have some of the coldest weather in over a decade next week. At least if it's that cold it won't be snowing!
hi seain. How are you doing these days?
a friend will be in Minneapolis next week, i'll let her know.
brrrr. *offers to buy Nef and dh a ticket to lady's house...* *wicked mama grin*
i'm alrgiht, nef, thanks. you?
I will take the iced tea and make it a tennessee or long island iced tea
well it's time for me to head off and do a little work before bed. night all! happy griddling!
sweet dreams ballet!
there's no tea in a Long Island Iced Tea :)
Oh! Do it stid! I *NEED* a vacation now! :-D
g'night ballet
i can make you an authentic no-pre-mix long island iced tea herin
we -might- get some snow next week... would LOVE to have a couple extended days to work on the next stage of my project....
hey cross! ((hugs))
Nef, I would if I could... *wishful mama thinking -- massive babble meet in some tropical paradise*
We're doing okay, seain. Just kind of tired and yearning for a vacation right now
See you need one non alcoholic tea to make an alcoholic one :D
Crossie one new years eve between the four of us we drank about 4 bottles of liquor making said teas
1/2 oz of gin,rum,vodka and tripple sec,add 3/4 glass of pink lemonade and top with a splash of coke and add shaved ice and garnish with slice of lime
that seems about right, herin
not sure there's really "tea" in a long island iced tea...
see my recipie stidmama
exactly as crossy says. it looks like iced tea, though it has no tea in it.
is that 1/2 oz EACH? *stumbles around room just considering it*
Stid, when I win the lottery, I'm buying Necker Island from Richard Branson. All Babble family members will be invited.
lol,yes stid,after 3 of them,you cannot feel your legs
*starts packing bags*
legs? I had legs when I got here... *looks around for legs*

TEA!!!! (((hugs and hugs))) thanks for the lovely card. I am seriously needing to respond to the things I got last month! LOL
lol nef
I think her partner is a tad older than her
do you work Peds or ED?
OR
hi ya stiddles, glad you liked it
just a smidge, eh lady?
i had a patient once who was a 35-yo Gma - and she had her 2nd kid AFTER her granddaughter was born. wrap your brain around that one.
* blink * eyes not wrapping!!!
not necessarily, herein. I met a woman who was a real grandmother at 34 once so every time my kids left home I would warn them, "Keep your pants on. I don't want to be a grandmother before I am 40"
No idea
my dad has two nieces that are older than him
but there were more kids than that.
One day my eldest phoned to say, "So Mum, you are older than 40 now, right?"
babies having babies... *sigh* it happens. but they don't think they're so young....
his sister had been married for 5 years before he was born, and had both of her kids by then
ROFL...cute, bugs! :)
My birth mum was 17 when she had me. My oldest birth sister was 15 when she had her first. BM was also pregnant at the same time.
*gasp* too funny, bugs!
Awww Bugs
gee lady...
lucky thing I was because Erin was on her way!
My birthmum nearly lost custody of my birth sister due to her young age
Bugs, that would scare the pants off me! (Of course, I had both kids after I was 30; so it would never have happened to me)
My eldest adopted as an older child Nef but I was 21 when he was born. My first born didn't show up until I was 33
I now have to see you guys later. G'night!
Night Mark
sweet dreams Mark!
bye Mark
g'night mark
niters, Mark!
* going to forage - back shortly *
later pini
stuck at 23. will go read for a bit and then back to finish later. *poof*

ty
hello, kidneys!
clue for em6/21 pls
nm got it
Hello again.I had to find adrink and turn on the aircon
Hi Herin. I should not be here. I should be a) sleeping or b) updating my blog.
Hi Jac
yet another anatomy word that kicked my butt...
1 more
GO, hoya! You can do it!
seriously, i'm just counting letter points and throwing tiles together...
I just saw the temp gauge here. 24 inside made me dicide the aircon goes on
lots of us do that hoyadoc!
Herin - it's cold here in UK. I take it you're not in the Aus flood area? My daughter's going to Queensland soon.
Evening all. May I please have a clue for ti6-21? Thanks
Were abouts in Queensland?
hi gapeach
hoyadoc - that's the Babble monkeys doing it for you.
Hey there, Boobear.
ti 6/21 is a compound word; the guy in the wizard of OZ
Thanks much, Nef.
ok clue me in for my last word - te 6,21 pls
hm. seems my bout of intense cleaning may have resulted in my tossing a pair of tom's contacts, his denture cup and a newish denture brush.
ty Nef
ty nef
No idea, Herin. I haven't seen her travel plan yet. She's in Barcelona, destroying her liver with cheap San Miguel right now. Mind you, she did say that going to see the Picasso paintings p*ssed made them more entertaining.
oh Seain, you are in trouble.....
dcs - OOPS!
awww Jac
well, when 90% of the mess is yours, and you won't help clean up...
i'm thinking he'd better get that iced water cold in the absinthe fountain
I just wish she had a travel companion when she does the getting p*ssed thing. I worry about her!
i also threw out a 120$ receipt he wanted to submit for reimbursment. Ah, well.
That will teach him
at least i kept his new eyeglass prescription and receipt from the exam :)
te 6 is a number and rhymes with cutie
I have 6 left
dcs - I've been in that kind of mood today, well it's yesterday now. If it's in my way or not in the right place, it either goes in the bin or the attic. I will continue in this way until the place is tidied up and/or othere occupants of the house don't keep dropping stuff where they feel like it rather than where it should belong.
exactly, jac
seain, you can come clean my house and throw aout 90% of my dtr's stuff for me!
it6?
PT of it4
PT of the previous word, LA
ty for both words
ah bugger. thanks hoya and nef
We just bought 6 57liter crates for storage. If the stuff don't fit in that too friggen bad
still not getting te6
sorta like comedian Judy Te6
Herin, we've bought so many plastic boxes to store stuff in that they're beginning to block our way, what with all the junk people in the house haven't put into either those boxes or into charity bags.
ty dc!
Jac. I informed himself that if he wants to move into a smaller place then treasures go in there and any more too bad. Charity or bin
nef, i thought you meant the whole word was a number - really was losing my mind on those last few.
fireworks <and bangs head on desk>
te6 = te + fruit of the hazel or pecan tree + personal pronoun.
I have a thing that is the limit. Four each that is it. At the moment my chest of draws needs repair so I am putting one each in the chest. One for long sleaves on for short
congrats, hoya
hooray for hoya!
tyty i am so off to bed....
YAY, hoya! WTGG!!!!
g'night hoya.
night Hoy
Well done Hoya. Sleep well.
see y'all tomorrow - now that i am hooked! :P
nite hoya, I still don't get it....
;) see ya tomorrow hoya
glad you are hooked tho
So JOIN, already, hoya! ;-)
Herin - surely you allow more than 4 for knickers??
I did find a few items of his ex's in his boxes when I was shifting stuff about. I suggested sending it all back to her he said no so I then suggested sending with anthrax
*Grins as, Hoya, is hooked as another Babble victim.*
yes Jac, he has discovered that resistance is futile
Hi Bug! HEH!
3 left; all D's
16lb cat v MacBook -- and it's a draw
de7 = to lower the grade.
What did kitty do DC/
Hi Jac. I needed a new computer for a long time. Finally broke down and bot one
Herin asked you that, DCS not me. LOL
she climed in front, i moved it, she spread out on my torso, then i put the computer on her paws, so she shifted down and i'm typing awkwardly, and she went away now
yay
OK I have 2 hours 45 mins to find 89 words. doable?
clue for the first re 7/32
Jac. The chest of draws is functional for the top 2 it is the bottom 3 that have died
I stick to my desktop pc. I do have a laptop but don't like it and have to plug in a mouse 'cos I can't stand that mouse pad thingey. I don't use my phone for going on the net, I don't have an ipod etc.
cats getting in between you and a book are a leading cause of illiteracy you know DC
DC you resisted the cute
di 6/30?
di6?
Herin - chests of draWERs, give way all the time these days, 'cos they are harboard-bottomed crap rather than things made to last by proper carpenters.
*harDboard
Jac this thing is as old as me. 33 years.
It only died as it was in the garage and got damaged being in there
di6 = do as I say!
d6 = ***tate + hesitation word
thanks jac and clarkie
really ****ate + hesitation word
herin, i have most of 40 years of practice in resisting it.
Oh, so young, Herin. 20 years younger than I am!
hit for it4?
hmmmm
if two people are dating you might call them an it4
got it ty
Jac I am just saying it isn't crappy made. It was put in a bad spot when I moved. I should have stored it inside.
ty
DC I can't resist the cute
Fibreboard stuff doesn't take well to damp, Herin.
That and my book shelf are the only things left from my childhood
I know that but I had no choice
My first bookshelf was made by my Dad from the hollow doors in our house after he'd changed them all for solid doors. It was L-shaped when he first made it to fit into the boxroom I was in, then he madee it straight when they moved me into the big front bedroom in my teens.
Do you still have them?
He changed the shape again, and stengthened it a bit, when I moved into my first house after marrying.
cool, jac :)
I left the bookcase in that house for the friends of my grandparents. whose house it was, albeit rented, to enjoy.
any hints for the e word on the bottom right? i've started to lose my mind with this new addiction
When I had to move the damn thing wouldn't fit in the ute. I pitched a fit and made sure it went with me
clarkie, like the holiday after ramadan
e + not the ego + vowel
I was about to get my real first house, one that I owned. Habitat and Laura Ashley were all the rage, and so we went with pine and chintz.
thanks!
Sorry Clarkie I didn't have it
em 5/16?
an em*** board for your nails
I'm still a fan of pine now.
I remember my babysitters house in 1989 was Salmon pink and grey
ah thanks!
im watching a movie with a character that has his name right now lol
I hate dark furniture!
All of my furniture is seconds
ughh i'd take clues for just about any re word
I've not long finished watching 'Stranger Than Fiction'. That's a film that makes we writers think hard about what we do to our characters.
ahh just got the trio of what you do to poor-sounding instruments
LA - so you wouldn't re6/36 any clues then? (As in refuse to read them or accept them?) re8 is the past tense.
re5/12 = what you did with your old schoolfriends when you went to the reunion.
This grid is annoying
re7 and the 2 8s that follow are all about a line of people accompanying an 'Important Person'.
If you don't get it, re5/14! Try again.
thanks Jac
ahh the j is just like the qu yesterday - i'm trying to work all around it
Herin - I found the grid mildly challenging. I was upset that the day before's was so short. I'd only had 4 sips of tea before I'd done it!
me too Leslie!
I haven't felt like playing much
je5 sticks out into the water
Heyas kids ..
hallo tor
heya torgone
hiya' torg
Herin, I'm going to have to refrain from playing, or rather chatting, if I'm to get this house into some kind of order. Sometimes, with all the junk mail that arrives, I feel like I'm trying to run up the stairs on a downstairs escalator.
Hi Torg.
I don't get junk mail. Or if I do it is binned straight away
I'm not sure if I'm going to keep my blog going either. I only have one regular reader, so far as I know.
That is up to you
Jacula, you have me intrigued. I did not know you were a wr**** so if you post the blog address, I would visit there
ooh got the 11 yay
But you can't just bin junk mail. First off, you have to open it and then recycle the paper or the plastic it came in, making sure you remove any address label. Then you have to make sure you remove any other reference to your name or address inside it.
We don't get that either Jac.
Bug - I had to make my blog for invited only.
Most plastics they come in these days are recycleable
that may be why you only have 1 visitor.
fireworks!
Finally! I've finished! I was rudely interrupted a while ago by my daughter who came in crying because she got her car stuck SIDEWAYS in the driveway!
http://tinyurl.com/39248ru iphone quilt
lol Nef
hooray nef!
YAY LeslieAnn
I had to go out and move her car for her
sorry Nef, but I laughed
If you think I sound paranoid for saying all of that re junk mail, then you don't know how one of my old school friends almost went bankrupt and went throught the courts trying to prove that she and her family had not ordered and not paid for this, that and the other.
congrats nef
Jac my teacher when he signs up for stuff he changes his last name like Smith becames Smyth so if they send him unsolicited mail he knows were from
Well done, Nef.
FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT!!
YAY godthaab
That is why I don't sign up to things Jac
I am done and need to get food. Laters
I am done and need to get food. Laters
I think I spend more time running to recycling bins these days than I do living! I have always been a recycler, having been brought up by parents who lived through WWII, whose parents lived through WWI, but it's different now. However, I am glad that that stuff is recyclable.
hasta, herin
congrats, godthaab
hooraygodthaab!
that was supposed to be two words but i think you get the gist.
planes taking off to NE tonight from IAD, so louder than usual
Yay godthaab!
Yay herin!
Go Jac! Your recyclables may go to one of our customers ..
Off to bed for me. I have clinic tomorrow and getting my dtr's car out of the driveway made me cold. We have a two car garage and the drive is just that wide; we're on a small hill and the snowbanks are now about 5 feet high on both sides of the drive.
hi all
hi jmc
did you hear how bad your son's car was damaged yet?
i am so annoyed was forwarded an email about "statistics" published in a respected journal from a UN organization
no not yet nef he took it to the repair shop and we are waiting
. . . but the organization doesn't exist and the journal has not published such an article in the last 4 years of searching. . .
nu 5/14?
yet all these people are going to pass this on as the gospel truth without verifying it!
it
is kramer's friend, spelled poorly
ty!!
i think these people are nu5/16
awesome clue lol
good clue clarkie
ty
the joys of the internet jmc. I cana't believe the stuff that students find that can't be verified!
i can't believe people forward stuff without verifying it. . . i recommend snopes.com for most things
jmc, I have a list of sites like snopes.com; truthorfiction.ccom; scambusters, politifacts, etc. JUST for emails my step mother sends me (I have about 10-15 sites; dependiong on the emails)
I wonder who the policemen in the helicopter with the searchlight were looking for earlier, when they swept the edges of the fields nearby with their searchlight? My Mum lives next to the fields and she went out with her dog for his last pee of the day and rushed back into the house and range me to jokingly say she might be about to be arrested, after the helicopter pilot saw her on the night cam and swopped back to put his searchlight over her garden.
so i wrote an email to all the people who were sent it (including a couple of layers in) and said: there is no such organization and the [nameless] journal hasn't published such an article in the last four years, but maybe the statistics aren't made up. Hey, let's pretend!" and signed it
i am sure i will be flamed
"Doncha know that Snopes is a liberal left wing commie site?" ;-)
Nef, I knew I liked snopes for a reason :P
i didn't refer to snopes and i didn't even need snopes this time
i only had to the see the statistic that 93% of the people in the US with diabetes received treatment to know it was BS.
I've got one e-mail for friends and family and the other for unknown, internet purchases and crap. Even so, spams still find my private e-mail.
i do too jac but friends will send crap without checking it.
i do too jac but friends will send crap without checking it.
I just insist on calling them on it.
Exactly, jmc!
*hic*
that's why I have so many different websites. I tell her and the person who sent it to her what Scambusters or ScamRaiders or PolitiFAct says and that works wonders.
my sister works for politifact--the first nonprint media to win a pulitzer!
<===very proud of sister
The worst offender for filling up my crap e-mail in-box is Facebook. It insists on notifying me wht every person I know posts and what every person they know posts. If I go on holiday for a week with no internet, you can imagine the number of e-mails that greet me on my return.
Nice!
Well done, jmc's sister.
you can set FB where they won't do that. that is what i did
WOO HOO for jmc's sister!
jmc - I did, but they moved the goalposts again and so now it does it again.
the only time fb notifies me is if someone asks to be a friend or specifically communitcates with me
hi torgie
I'll have to find time to go through all the FB privacy crap yet AGAIN!
yep it is a pain jac
Jac, just go reset your privacy settings again. I only get notifications if someone wants to friend me
there is a term i use at work almost everyday in the grid: meps
okay, NOW I'm off to bed! Good Night everybody. Happy Babbling! <poof!!>
The only reason I bother with FB is to play word games with my net friends and to talk to my family in far-flung parts of the world. If I can get them all on SKYPE, it would help.
it is the place where they process in new members of teh military

I can only get one I word!
anyone here to clue?
Hi gadget
I can clue for a while, Jill....
Hi :-))
Hi Jili
One I is the same, the other is that date in March
just got here and found my last 4 words

may I have a clue for de7 please?
thanks, Jill !
what you get when you have a driving infraction....
ty di!
aha ... yw
o.o oops I just accidentally made a call to fetch chat messages with message ID greater than 1 >.<
hi dfm..... don't know what you mean but I guess it was an "ooops" ??
(hi all)
there's a page get_chat_messages.php that allows you to fetch all messages that come after a certain message ID (which are assigned incrementally to each chog message)... that's how the chat works and I just visited the page asking for every chog message that comes after chat message #1.
<-- probably made the server lag and/or blow up or something :o(
okay... instead of scrolling through the whole chat ? I thought chog and chat were the same thing ??
clue for that first in word (in6/27) please?
same meaning as the in5, jilli
I'm using chat and chog almost synonymously. and... yeah, Greasemonkey sort of can't exactly scroll through the chat.
ty again diane -- gave me a bunch
and opposite of ex **** the body

oh, sorry, dfm
our names sort of look the same,..all those letters, but he's a "cube" :-)
hmm, wonder if I can go shower + prepare for bed before flip...
sure you can.... you've got 36 minutes !
got it -- done!
good for you !!! You waste no time !
hi all
31 to go...
you had 35 remaining when you came into game... you are fast. I spent quite a bit of time on my last 5 :- ( but I got them without help
Now to get the next icon -- "Old Rock Day" --- ??? Guess I'll have to Google that...
hi m9..... go for it !!
hi m9
old rock day ? stones? dancing? geology ?
ty diane -- yours and dfm's clues plus a smattering of morewords help when in a hurry
yeah.. just put Mick Jagger up there..
Who knows, diane -- off to Google...
lol... really old rocks and stones...
I just found a couple of blogs on it
(sprite used capitals so maybe it's something special)
and obscure holiday.... celebrating "rocks" LOL
8an
I played a worship service at a nursing home this morning, and I actually played "We Three Kings" :-))
hi all...(icon changed)
hi m9, pini! :o)
hi dfm ;)
:o\ I need to procrastinate more efficiently. Or something like that.
why's that?
because I did my homework not in the way that the professor wanted? And I don't have anything left to put off for now :o/
2
so you did your homework wrong? what will your prof say?
git'r dun, m9! :)
Hi Pini :-))
hi di :)
I like what you chose for "old rocks" !! I've never seen them, although I'd like to one day !
Hi Pinikula: I am up at this very early hour cos of grandchild creating. She has settled again. Great new icon and stuff about geology day. I have not heard of that before. I did study earth sciences many years ago.
ok.. dun
wtg, m9 !!!
hi scouser ;)
how is your homework diff than what prof wanted?
dunno, but they mentioned in class how they wanted a homework question started, and I didn't do that right. (two assignments.) :o(
congrats m9!
12 minutes....
I've never heard of it either, but understood it to be the icon theme for 01/07/11. ;)
hello scouser
ah.. well then.. do that over?
or did you already turn in?
no, it wasn't supposed to be assigned until today.
...rather amazing what one can learn playing Babble (words and theme meanings)
are you going to modify it, dfm? or submit as is?
oh, hey, dfm...
...can I ask you a general question about students making applications?
probably going to re-do it :o( yeah, sure
...what is it with students who can't 'read' directions on 'how to apply'...and then insist that they must write to ask what for specifics that our answered in detailed instructions???
(remove 'what' from that to make sense)
those of us who can read have that question about the people who read our letters too -- we usually get a vague, off-topic response that essentially re-states our question in sentence form ;o) dunno, I guess we're too lazy to read the entire question or something?
and is that "ARE answered..." LOL
gee, thx for pointing that out, m9 LOL
I got me an "Old Rock"
I aim to serve.
evening all
I suppose I'm only asking to get a sense of whether the annoying communications I've been getting are legitimate or note...it's amazing to me just how "annoying" it is when I have to explain the same thing over and over again...
hi diem
note = not
So here's my old rock story...
hi jilli ;)
I think that in honor of Old Rock day.. we should say "gneiss job!" when someone fw's....LOL
LOL
groan, m9 -- and don't get ruru started!
hello
nice story
they probably are legitimate -- people these days just can't read instructions, attention span too short.
* sigh * that's not what I wanted to hear, dfm...but will struggle thru until candidates are selected...
hi mlf
huh. I've been studying for tax season. Don't talk to me about reading instructions.
very nice Jill :-)
oh wait. Gneiss story!
I suggest you put those applications aside unless you're out of those who *did* follow instructions.
ty m9 -- and nice rock or yours. Of course, the Laurentian Mountains in eastern Canada are considered the oldest in the world, we were told in Geology class at McGill.
that's what one of my prof's said, dfm!!!!!!
hi pinik
yeah.. Just think of it as a weed-out step.
