Sorry i broke the chat box night all
How many words today please
46
46
Thanks
remember the days when every single puzzle wasn't under 100 words? Sigh. Halcyon days. Someone ask Dr. G. to give the box a proper shake next time. Fed up of thses little ones.
agreed, dachef... not to mention that this grid seems to be comprised of all the words that are never words when I'm monkeying bigger grids *suspicious glare*
EVERY grid seems to be full of words that dont exist in others for me!! But then, I am a bit thick.
right, done. Only 15 mins today. Suppose I'd better go and do something constructive now. Here's to a real monster grid tomorrow.
at least you made short work of it! I've been at this for half and hour and have 2 left!
Congrats Dachef and wtg City, it took me a tad longer but I got there in the end.
... found 'em. Here's a random clue for anyone reading the chog ... ca6/27 tilt + short greeting.
thanks, FMitch... yes, despite is diminutive size, it's an 'in the end' sort of grid. Well, bye 'til the next one :)
hello friends. could I please have the stats for the e in the top right corner?
Hi Trif - em4/6

FIREWORKS! woot woot.

thanks Trifioso, got it at last
morning babblers!!! xxx
Oh My good morning, what a small grid.
Trif You could come and work my shift. It will keep you quite occupied.
Oh No, serves up Mexican Chiapas Coffee to liven up the chat.
Well, everyone who has a snow day today will have to find something else to occupy your free time. Because this grid sure isn't going to do it. Good morning all.
morning molls..yeap..snow day here too
I imaging people who play at the flip posted "flip" at 12:01 and "Done" at 12: 03.
prolly... although i have only found 6 words
9 words in
i stopped for a while after 10 cos i'd got babble blindness - came back and found 13 more in 5 minutes!!!
hi froggie
good morning carlee - although it's evening with you isnt it? or very early morning - one way or the other lol
6 am
omg wot u doin up this time of day???
couldnt sleep
i tried counting sh5...didnt work
and you thought the perfect answer was talking to us nutters lol
Well, I"m usually up this time of day for work. My son has a two hour delay, so I will go in late. But I'm not one who can "go back to sleep" once I'm up.
oooh no molly, me neither
better th4 lying in bed letting my imagination get the better of me or..worse
once im up there's no stopping me - cup of coffee and sit down for the day to get over the strain of making it
I do appreciate extra time in my flannels though.
same here molls..once up..am up
Well, it will be fun catching everyone who uses th4 in the chog and sending them to the PB. Maybe I will go in there and rustle up a breakfast buffet.
argh! this grid is nasty
There! A make your own omelet table, assorted scones, muffins and breads for toasting, a warmed platter of ham, bacon and sausage and a bowl of fresh fruit salad. Yogurt and assorted cold cereals and milk for the non-egg eaters. Fresh coffee , hot tea and fresh juice. Violate the rules as you wish.
Morning Lil.
Mmmm looks good Molly! I just ate my oatmeal, as usual
yay for molls
Give me some extra free time and I spend it in the kitchen.
ma6/24 is an interesting word ....
i know it as food
stuffed eggplant...grape leaves..
it's a golf term, isn't it? good morning all...
It's a golf term, and I only know it because it was used in an episode of I Love Lucy.
oh yes! thank u for reminding me of that Molly! LOL
HA! that dates us all!
must get ready to leave for work now... bye all
bye lil
Speaking of food Carlee, there is some chick on Yahoo Finance whose name is Farnoosh. I was watching her yesterday wondering if Farnoosh eats fatoosh. : P
hahah..that funny...
tiny grid and good morning
yes, and good morning ruby!
hello champ and whoever else is still here
Just spent my whole morning making couscous
oooh...just found the 8 wish led to the p7 wooHOO!
although, actually, molly's breakfast buffet sounds better to me
why did it take all morning ruby?
veggies to chop, grain to process : salt water, then rub, oil, then rub, more salt water, than rub, meat to pre-cook, broth to make
wow! bet it'll be wonderful!
uh oh, in the pb, is molly's breakfast still there?
yes you are...hope so...good luck in there!
hopefully! I learned to make it years ago and do it Algerian (rather than Moroccan style)
can y
hello inge
Think I'll leave the last few for later. Otherwise, nothing to look forward to! Have a lovely day all!
hello all
Ruby, I haven't seen you here in a while. I laughed when capon was in the grid the other day.
clue for the 8 plz
Th 8 means like someone who steals
a person who steals something from another
The "like" is important in that clue because it pertains to the ending.
oh sorry Molly didnt see ur clue
No problem short stuff. : D
:)
that gave me the word for the pe7
it ryhmes LOL
sorry im feeling silly stupid this morning
I got the p first, that is what made me try the th.
pickpocket...clepto...hmmm not coming to me
th, with the "like wow" ending
sh 4/5 am not seeing it at all!
If someone steals, they are a th****. And you would describe them as th******
thanks...got it
the ending sounds like and the di** ran away with the spoon
ives, it is a kind of butter for skin lotion
i think
yes it is thks!
And a stadium
yw
anyone have the th5?
and the me5?
Molly watches I love Lucy. Why am I not surprised?
neither
Back in the day, I could recite entire episodes of I Love Lucy.
my favs are the winery and the marks brother Harpo
the th5 is skinny, with an extra vowel
oh and the cough med
"Are you wet?"- Ethel to Ricky when he fell off the boat into the ocean.
Vitameatavegimin!!! That is the all time favorite according to a survey.
Harpo Marx is my icon doing what he called a "Gookie."
ok..got the th5...now..just the pe5 to finish
me5 pardon me
Are you unpoopular?
Do you poop out at parties?
Do you pop out at parties?
The answer to all your troubles is in this mittle ottle.
OMG- Molly we're simultaneous.
Tastes like candy.
Yes, except you got it right and I got it wrong.
:)
I gotta go have coffee to fortify myself for shoveling.
It's so tasty too! Just like candy.
bbl
ok..done..i used more words for the me5
yahooooo carlee
can you clue it?

We might have a foot here already and it is still snowing. But it is hard to measure when you are standing inside in your slippers.

That should mean that you get home when you normally would, given the condition of the roads., River
thats about right wht ....see ya
missing an m -- have the porridge and the golf club --- missing?
Do you have the Ve 5/20, Nan? Looks similar
ty grey
Hi babblers!
all this strange weather makes one wonder how the naysayers can stick to their line that the pollution we inflict on our environment has no impact!
I agree with you, nan
11 to go and stuck -- break time!
ve 5 /20 add sometimes vowel to ve4 7
Happy Babbling. I am off now.
Just need the pe 7 and the th 8 - any hints?
they both have the same ending
This is hard
pe7 ill humored
th8 one who steals is th8
Thanks - fireworks!!
:-)
K - gotta run. Have a great day all.
thanks ivesy.... :-) I saw your clue !!
fireworks sure do like these small grids
he 6 please.....and a good snow morning to all
add the initials for "that is" to the he4/7
or the letters representing "that is "
hi all....clue please for th8/65 please?
ty
th 8- like a crook
rhymes with the pe 8
yw diane, was just passing thru. lol
ty!

i hate when i just can't see a clue lol
th 5/12....slim...with an extra vowel in the middle
ty...fireworks in the snow
~*~*~*~*~*FIREWORKS!!!!!*~*~*~*~*~
way to go...!! Eva & Jeff !!
nice clues in the chog, thank you all
bad-humored crook
this is a nasty little grid, just got half after going through the chog!
how much snow, jeff?
1 left........he6 hint please
fond name for grass
love the way you clued that ending ruby.... :-)
um?
lol ruby, good clue.
hahah, diane, but I never inhaled....
cut** sweet**
((fm}}
me and the big dog!
add a couple of vowels to the end of the he4/7 smaa
HOws the weather with you ruby?
vowels that stand for "that is"
I made a massive couscous for my husband. It is on simmer at the mo
unseasonably warm here
Yah - thank you all SO much
does anybody like couscous?
I love couscous.... even with brown sugar and milk... in place of porridge !!
not really, it is one of those dishes I don't see the point of but that may be down to the pacet mixes in the supermarket.
but I make the whole stew with chicken, lamb, many veggies and spices and merguez on the size
I have a nice kazbah chicken recipe that I serve over couscous.... it's so versatile
It took 3 hrs
side*
Now that does sound good.
it can be wonderful but I haven't made it in a long time. It takes special techniques and a dedicated pot
I think I need to go have breakfast... that is making my mouth water !!
when my son went away to school, when he'd come home, that was the dish he always wanted
there is plenty to share, diane, and it will still be here tomorrow (and the next day!)
impossible to make a small quantity
Can you send some over here ruby?
does fedex have a thermal package?
lol
hi all - back to finish
you would love it, I think. My part is tasty but not hot and I put a special hot sauce (harissa) on the side for my husband
Hello cnan!
hello nan
hello nan
My taste buds are changing, bought some chilli sauce this week for the first time ever.
well then, double hello
husband can't taste anything unless it's spicy. I think he has burnt out his taste buds
and I like really bland food -- espec. puddings
I slightly overdid the garlic the other day, luckily I didn't have any meetings etc :)
and soft-boiled eggs -- my faves
boiled eggs and soilders yum
what are soldiers?
strips of bread and butter so that you can dunk them in the yoke :)
sounds like heaven to me!
giving in with 9 to go and listing -- sticky grid
that's what I do, just didn't have a name for it
It is a sticky one cnan, shout if you need a clue
time to serve dinner, see you later
Bye ruby.

Yay Congrats!
anyone want clues before I leave?
Not for me thanks - have a good day.
lovely pic, mitch
Thanks I was lucky enough to snap that in my back garden last September, incredible dawn.
FMitch, good afternoon
and Hi Cybernan
hi Mom
Hello Mom!
FMitch, has Haz given up on playing babble?
I have been looking for her for a couple of days now
on my way -- back at the flip if I can stay awake that long! Sleep pattern has changed down here -- seem to need a lot more of it!
take care Nan, have a good day
No she is still about, was in the chat yesterday briefly but is v busy at the mo.
I have a possible job offer for her
Oh really?
George Clooney is originally from where I live. He is coming back here to film a movie in Feb. and March
they are needing hundreds of extras and several small roles.
If her passport was in order and she got a spot as an extra I could house her for the 4=6 weeks of filming
I will have to let her know that!! Does Scrabbler have anything to say about this as they are still fighting over him?
I havne
scratch that
I haven'
t seen Scrabbler to tell her about it
LOL
they would both be in hog heaven
I would of course ahve to come over too just to keep an eye on things :)
of course
I can see it now .... fight breaks out on the streets of downtown Cincinnati and two ladies get into a brawl over George Clooney
Do you know what the film is?
Ides of March
he will star and direct
LOL I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time 2 'ladies' fought over GC.
will also star Phillip Seymour Hoffman
true, but it would be the first for babble
You must keep us updated.
I will.
The film is "The Ides Of March".
it is a shame you all are so far away
Ah now, there have been a few um issues/challenges in babble land with GC over the years :)
Oops, Mom already covered that.
Hi Molly.
Great cast. Marisa Tomai, Paul Giamattie and Ryan Gosling are in it too.
but Haz is pictured with GC for evermore in the PB pic much to Scrabs chagrin.
I finally gave up and allowed him to Scrabbler.... but I had been in love with him since the very first episode of ER
I liked him in Roseanne
and wow, mom.... tempted to take a leave of absence, but I'm sure I'd have no job next year
LOL and greetings Dorens.
Roseanne? I never really watched that... didn't realize he was there and Hail Fmitch. it's been a while, how've you been?
I could house y ou
Hibernating but am well Dorens hope you are too.
I know, and I'd cook for you, let you win in lexulous ;) and we'd be happy for sure.
lol Doren
i am well enough fmitch... not at my best but it will be okay, i'm sure. enjoying the snow day to some extent
that would be the only way I would win
not at all true mom!
oh yes it is, unless you just get crappy tiles
urf I so want spring to be here
i do get crappy tiles sometimes, and the more you play the better you get
i concur fmitch... would you like to join my campaign for one less month of winter?
I do enjoy it whether I win or lose
an extra half month for fall and spring each.
winter wouldn't be so bad if we could just get some more sunshine than what we get
Dorens who is the cutie in your icon?
no, i'd truly like one less month that's my second grandkid levi with Phoebe's hand holding him up. Good thing her little hand is there, cause in time I'd never know which one it is... they look so alike
I am going to scoot off here. FMitch, thanks for letting Haz know what she will be missing. :-)
I really can't complain as our winter is usually shorter than yours. I just seem to get the winter blues and can't shake them off.
Bye Mom
((hugs)) to all of you
think warm thought fmith
bye bye FMitch
have a great day mom
you as well Dorens
sorry FMitCh.. that was thoughtS
lol I know - I read babble typonese fluently now ( and type it too) :)
hi all....
Hey carlee!
hey fm
I rarely even bother to try to correct... if we don't know and forgive at this point, it would be crazy.i have five impossible words left but I refuse to list or even ask for clues.....yet.
how are things
hi Carlee... how are you doing?
i ... am...good...
:)
Go for it Dorens
earlier i wasnt...
i probably will have to come back later, since nothing is making sense and i think i've monkeyed everything there.... glad you're better then carlee
thanks dorens
:)
( lets just say i LOVE my lawyer :) )
good for you... i hated mine (divorce lawyer, and I should have gone with my instincts)
That sounds good carlee.
well..considering she and i took our daughters to see fergie in concert ( 3 years ago)...
and i had her daughter in guides
ah, sounds like a great situation then
anyway
i was under gun yesterday..and I am no longer under gun
breathing nicely then?
yes...i didnt breath..sleep..eat ....my brain was on scream... and now...its ALL gone ..YAY
see that... being involved in nice conversation like that has helped me... down to 2
hey carlee. next time you feel that way, try to remember that it always does get better, please?
hey carlee. next time you feel that way, try to remember that it always does get better, please?
Darn, phone ....
i am trying dorens..unfortunately i seem to be in a loop of start to feel better and the shoe drops....and now i am constantly waiting for the shoe... and i hate that feeling
worth saying twice? everytime the shoe drops, it still does get picked up... you are a good person and good will come to you
hopefully...hopefully... i just want the crap to be done with...
i know and i know it seems like it never will... but i promise you there will be a day when you look back and it seems like it happened to a different person
unfortunately..b/c dXh is not getting his way..he is going to be yet MORe po'ed..and that is going to make more crap hit fan...ever escallating BS
Deep breaths Carlee, deep breaths. Dorens is right, this too shall pass.
I did go through a bunch of crap many many years ago and I can remember those feelings when you bring it up, but otherwise it really was another lifetime... this WiLL happen to you too
glad to hear it...i just want to be done
how to celebrate this little victory...both my kids willbe home...
what shall i do...in the midst of a snowstorm?
oh just enjoy then...bake their favorite cakes or whatever together? play games you all enjoY?
what shall i make for dinner?
How are the roads? Did you have any trouble getting to the lawyers office?
something yummy...mashed potatoes and something....
i've been on a ziti kick lately... do you all like pasta? chili?
oh..i LOVE driving in the snow molls.... snowy roads are fun...
my daughter hates pasta and rice
mashed potatoes is always a winner. yummy roast chicken with a lemon stuck inside of it?
the roads are a mess...but that does nto bother me in the least
maybe dorens..( toddling off to investigate freezer)
you must have a good fourwheel drive car?
good evening babblers!!! xxx
hi ff
hi dorens xx
i do dorens..ford escape..with brand new all weather tires...
its the 6 cylinder version
hi froggie...
hi carlee xx
and..i have a fresh split chicken breast ( both breasts all in 1 piece)
sooo...that....i have left over turkey gravy ( frozen)...mashed taters...
if you have lemon, fresh oregano, and olive oil, I have a recipe for a killer mariade
what else...hmmmm....
back from phone... ok then carlee. you're all set now you will enjoy your afternoon, but do something special with the girls.. (how is the oldest doing?)
See!! You do use up your frozen leftovers.
garlic too in that marinade, yes? but fresh oregano might not be as handy
yes
garlic, black pepper and salt
anyone have the stats on a six letter h? (my last word)
he 6,27
my son is great...my daughter is good...she is feeling "torn" my son...not at all
eh?
thanks.. something for me to work on now. I know she's feeling torn, but you and she still have your great relationship, yes?
oo sorry
most of the time...we have entered the stage of mom is a dork..
her age?
13 by any chance?
14...yeap
uh huh... have we had this conversation before? I remember some of it, but not sure if we got to the part of.... EVERY 13/14 year old girl goes through that.. if she doesn't, i'd worry
oh..i know they do.. but her friends like me...an want to hang out...when i am around..sooo... she kinda has to
this one is a no-brainer then carlee... she will come out of it well, just enjoy your glass of wine when you need it
all in due time...and my son will work on her
keep your positive attitude carlee... its the most valuable thing you have (other than your kids)

yay for dan
ahh. i love to hear managers screaming obscenities at the top of their lungs in the middle of a hump-day afternoon...
Lol that was pretty random. xD
my thoughts exactly...
Ooo, spicy at Eva's workplace today.
if it were anyone else, i would think its hilarious. but being that its this one gal, who i seriously despise, i REALLY hope she at least gets reprimanded.
Dude, yeah, if you don't like her she should get in trouble. D:< xD
Anyone who screams obscenities in the middle of an office environment has serious anger management issues.
Well, I can imagine myself doing that in the future. But only because every time I drop something, that's my first reaction.
i mean, how appropriate is it (as anyone, let alone a manager) to sit in your office and yell, loud enough for everyone to hear, "*ssh*le" and "go f*** yourself"
Also, does anyone have any hints for the me?
we work in a government office. its just totally and completely inappropriate and unacceptable. if you cant control your behavior a little better than that, you need to go work somewhere else. especially if you have a management position and have the responsibility of overseeing other people. (and dont even get me STARTED on how she got the job...)
Oh, yeah, you should be able to control yourself in that environment. :|
That's inappropriate and unacceptable anywhere Eva. The chick has a problem.
in MY opinion, she has several. but im biased -- i cant stand her.
Was she shouting that at someone??
apparently she was ranting/venting to herself. but seriously, if i can hear you all the way across the office, youve got issues.
Dude, that is not ranting to yourself.
That's, like, talking to voices in your head or something. :|
i think she had either just received an email or a phone call from this one guy who has some social issues -- hes very blunt + sometimes comes across as rude. i guess she didnt like his tone, so she started screaming "to herself"
...Dude...That's effed up, man. :|
The only time I shout "to myself" is when I'm in a car and someone's driving like a lunatic. :|
oh well. at least i dont work for her. or really even with her. i have minimal interaction with her.
Dude, that's good. It would suck if you had to work for her. D:
oh, if i worked for her, there would be ALL sorts of issues. i wouldnt be able to keep my mouth shut with her attitude and there would definitely be meetings with upper management.
Lurking fireworks - happy babbling y'all
Ugh, that would suck so hard. D:
Congrats, met
congrats!!
::deep breath:: moving on. :)
it's her way of saying, "Don't come near me."
oh trust me, i dont WANT to go anywhere near her. ::mutters something petty about catching something off her::
so her actions are effective
sure. just inappropriate.
Haha, I hope when I start working seriously I don't have to work with anyone like that. But I'll probably have to. :|
gd evening everybody and no yelling!
brb note-taking
I guarantee you, if her management percieved her behavior as a problem, one conversation would change it
actuall, no. she was already reprimanded for her attire. it changed for about a week or 2, and shes already back to her old ways. its a lot easier for management to ignore a problem or move a problem than to make it go away.
so they did not set a consequence that she finds challenging? you are correct, lazy managers ignore problems and don't solve them.
same story, different details have happened time + time again in the time i have worked here. and thats under many different managers (some good, some bad) and 2 different companies. its quite sad the red tape it takes to get rid of someone...and its also quite said when bosses/managers would rather put up with unacceptable behavior than properly document it and go through the necessary steps to do what needs to be done.
agreed
fireworks
Congrats
oh well. didnt mean to get into such a huge discussion. just wanted to vent for a minute. i was feeling a little petty and juvenile myself. :) Congrats!!
back to work -
Venting helps. I love venting, for serious. :|
sometimes venting is necessary. you just need to choose the proper venues and methods. :)
Yeah, like venting is bad when it involves shouting obscenities in the middle of an office.
see, youve learned something today!
xD
Ugh, can I get a hint for the th8/65?
criminal-like
Criminal-like...hm...:|
*Makes note to FedEx my Dammit Doll to Eva's office*
Ah, got it. :D
molly -- i have a happy bunny doll that (if it had good batteries) says "you suck, big time!"
Hahaha, nice.
If only I had the pro account, I would've just gotten fireworks. :(
~*~*~*~*~*FIREWORKS!!!!!*~*~*~*~*~ (f or cgw)
Yaaaaaaay. :DDDD
Oh perfect Eva. The happy bunny doll has it covered.
hi babblers
Hi, sammysmom
hate these small grids...... mybe it is time to find another gamer
I like small grids, they're the only ones I can finish. xD
hello everybody
small grid not good
Hi, Jac.
the smaller grids seem to have the oddest words
heya cgw
Yeah, there are some weird words in this grid. :|
there always are lol
Well, yeah, but there are a lot more this time. I had to monkey/use morewords a lot more than usual.
Bye.
bye cgw, take care
fireworks!!!!!!
hello anyone who happens to see this :)
good eve all. What is the verdict today? Small and sweet or dwarfish and devilish?
Hi sadie.... I happen to see you :-)) I just logged in... had to leave the grid with just 2 words remaining !
Hi sprite..... choose two of those adjectives !!
maybe small and devilish ;-) but not bad at all.
oh diane, I LOVE your dragonfly!
thank you... I have another that I almost posted of a dragonfly on a granddaughter's finger, but it's mostly "hand"... so didn't post it LOL
:D Still a special moment captured!
it was.... I love my digital cameras !!
I'm going to post it... just for fun
it makes so much possible, doesn't it.
oh please do!
done ! A chubby little 4 year old hand.... she's almost 12 now :-)
oh diane that is so sweet! Does she remember the moment?
oh yes... this girl has an incredible memory. I've been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with 6 of the granddaughters ..... almost all grown up now.
we are just heading into the city ( Edmonton ) to see hubby's eye surgeon... If all is well and we get the go-ahead nod, we are off SOUTH to Arizona on Friday morning. I'm looking forward to it.
you are a blessed woman, diane... and wise enough to cherish all those moments :)
diane, hope all is well with hubby's eye and you get to travel
hey spritely!!! (((hugs)))
hey all!
is it touch-and-go for the eye or do you expect everything to be ok?
stiddieieieieieie! *huggles*
I am feeling as if I have done some good work this morning, once I got through my normal panic attack at how much work I need to do. Figured a few minutes of babble was in order.
crossing fingers... he had detached retina repaired, then following that, a macular hole occurred ... was fixed with laser surgery.
oh... star wars, eh? *thinking*
Hi Stid :-))
oh gee diane. sounds like tricky stuff.
wtg stiddie. One step at a time and make room for little breaks. Ah well you know that yourself. Just reminding you, grin.
I will change my icon when we get back home.
eyes are so important! Will keep my fingers crossed for you both.
a macular hole can be repaired.... alas, macular degeneration can't :-(
hi diane , I'm glad someone saw me lol hiya sprite
am enjoying your current one, diane :)
hiya sadie!
Thanks ... and hugs
hello all
hey sadie
okay, tea water is ready. brb
hi hoyadoc
I know you have some sight issues stid... just from reading the chat. I have a very dear online friend who is legally blind, but can see what he needs to with aids and enhancers. He is the news director for a radio station and it's never slowed him done one iota !!!
that friend of yours rocks!
except... he's never driven a car ... bikes everywhere !!
and now.. I have to scoot... I'll get these last 2 words when we get back. See you all later.
thanks diane -- I can drive, far vision is fine, and near vision is technically fine, but wrinkled corneas make the light splinter so I get migraines when I read now (didn't use to)
later diane!
bye diane, keeping fingers crossed!
are there a lot of weird words today or am i just not seeing them? 19 left and all i can see are vowels!
I am down to 45 already! LOL
wtg stid!
I have 30 found. So far rather friendly.
;)
go sprite go!
up to 6 words...
stid is gonna finish before me :)
*smug* Found both biggies all by myself today!
s
well done sprite!
great words. I love grids with real big words.
not likely, too distracted by eating ALL the turkey jerky... *sigh* I hope I am not the only one who opens a bag of a treat and then eats the whole thing... I was feeling more guilty until I realized the whole bag is only 240 calories...
my husband does exactly the same, stiddie. And when I am stressed, so do I. *hugs*
ok, back to work. later all.
later hoya
happy day at work, hoyadoc
help for NBT and then I have to get back to this paper as well.
top E on the right and the A under that one please?
e + I + you
lollll I was SO hoping I could give that clue!
*thinking VERY hard*
a4: sound you make to clear your throat
gah. babble-bird-fish1
yep. there you go! LOL
I got a seven on my own though, so I guess a couple fish aren't that bad
a + ***ence fiction
nah, fish are fun
((((sprite)))) you're a doll!
are you taking any classes or anything right now?
:D
fireflies. Painless grid today. And fun!
no, not really. I work with 3 therapists to get myself back on my feet and that takes a load of time and energy.
YAY sprite! still not halfway here
oh, it does. I know it's rough.
I still have good days and not-so-good days with my hip. The days that are good I think I can do anything. The others... I get through them and what isn't done isn't important.
I often think it does not help. But then I meet someone I haven't seen in over a year and they all say how much I have changed and how much stronger I seem to be. So I guess we are doing well after all ;)
I don't have time to do therapy or anything right now, but am hoping over the summer while I am unemployed and not in school that I can make time for it between volunteering and ferrying kids places
:-D You
you're one of my inspirations!
that is a very good attitude, stid. I am trying to unlearn the guilt trap. All that is left undone makes me feel soooo guilty!
and you are one of mine, stid
anyway... time to figure out which stack of studies to summarize first... I have narrowed down my research from 30 papers to 12 this morning. Much more manageable.
wow, well done! I have to be off too, good luck, hun! And bye all, have fun with this sweet grid.
(((sprite))) have a lovely rest of your day. hope I see you again soon. *waves at the lurkers* see you-all later! *poof*
can somebody clue me the first he4,6 please?

Hello all. River, how is the blizzard?

we have about a foot and a half at my house - miserable rides both ways to work and back
lucky for me my company closed at noon so I could drive home in the daylight - we had another white out shortly after I got home so very thankful they let us out
my crazy son wanted to go to a friends house today as school was called off - the house is on the other side of the lake from us - about 10 miles - we couldnt take him as we needed to get to work so my wonderful DH told him if he could find a way to get there he could go. SOOOOO he decided to take out his cross country gear and skied over....I want to kill him when he gets home.....
just wanted to stop in and say Hi and I killed the chog.....*sigh*
you didn't kill the chog, those of us who aren't responding did!
thank you dfm - was starting to feel bad
do you need any clues, otherwise, I will move on over to facebook
okey dokey - see you all tomorrow- happy babbling

i was *virtually* in the Bahamas with Babbler Mark Jones last night, we were snorkeling
Hello everyone....how are you guys?

hi jilly
hi jilly!

Hello Jillyjill!How are you doing?Welcome to the puzzle
i love buck island underwater national park in the virgin islands for snorkeling, we had a fabulous snorkel experience a million years ago in mexico at tulum. it has since been redone, and it was not the same. scuba in st barth's was a blast, we were being stalked by a ginormous barracuda
wow bethn! you've had some great experiences :)
*is off diving in Egypt in a few weeks*
we used to trave more, since i hurt my back, not so much
Hi Atalante! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

I got maybe about a foot of snow. Not as much as MA.

Ah 4/6! Here is a story of clues for those who ca 4/5 find some of the words.When I was a little kid I rolled into a bee hi 4/8. I ma 4/6 their nest&the bees were not happy. Didn't learn my lesson and I did the sa 4/5 thing again two years later. Got more stings the 2nd time th 4/5 the 1st time. Sh 5/14 on me! I wanted to cut up their nest with a sh4/8. I immediately started crying and ran to the house to tell my Mother.While I was running I tripped & fell and sprained my finger. I had to wear a sh 5/18 for awhile.Now I'm going to go watch the ep4/6 movie Spartacus.I will be back later on to help give hi 4/5s if needed. Adios to all for now.

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

Go for it hoya. It certainly can't hurt munch today
aw, david nelson died!
what happened, TO?
i don't know, the news had it on as if it were earlier news
he was 74 - hardly seems possible! colon cancer
got 7 and 8! woot!
Oh my, Wow, 74? Didn't think he was that much older than me...
and fireworks!
Geez! He can't be that old, can he? That doesn't seem possible
WTG, Jilly!!! YAY!!!
hoya, can I borrow your 4 yr old? ;-) (maybe I will do better that way)
Just checked, and yes..RIP to Ozzie, Harriett, RIcky and David....my childhood TV...
i got that one on my own. ;)
nice hoya!
time to go - happy babbling, all
BYE, TO!
me too...bbl..see ya!
Bye Jilly!!
wow i guess this was the day not to have time to babble!
agreed, jmc
my son just said, "you only have 2 more! it's freaking me out in a good way!" lol
cute hoya
hi all
what are the stats for the E in the corner?
em4/6
ty
nbt
your son is quite smart to know that at age 4, hoya
and i am off work and heading home
WTG, jmc.
he is freaky smart. but he can't help me with he6 - clue pls!
I don't have it yet (but am now looking)
he6 starts off something about rope and then gets Scots.
If that is too obtuse, the he4,7 is related
fireworks! ty scouser - i have no idea what that word is, but i monkeyed it!
YAY, hoya!!! WTG!!!!
It's probably auld Scots for something you smoke!
ty - i may be back later, but i gotta hit the hay early tonight.
DANG! I keep trying to find words from blacked out letters! I *hate* when I do that!
Yes Nef - I need to find out how to get rid of all those toolbars at the top of the screen to make more room for the Tile Stats.
Scouser, how many toolbars do you have?
There is the line with the http, the headers, A Norton line, a Favourites line, then the tab line.
I'm on a mac, so I don't know how to get rid of toolbars on a PC. I always scroll part way down so I can see the tile stats; I just don't remember to check and see which letters are already blacked out
is there a view button? That's where I can hide my toolbars
The grid and th Tile Stats do just fit, but only just, in the remaining window. As you say, you get carried away with a particular letter.
Anyone want any clues before I sign out?
PS - Aha View - I didn't notice that. I shall try it.
did you finish?
Yes I have finished. Going to make some tea now.
YAY, scouser!!!! WTG!!!!
hi everyone

Hi Good Enough! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!
hello all and congrats to the Fireworkers!
I still have 14 left.
Hi redturtlehead!How are you doing? Welcome to grid
long day, but I am fine.
how is everyone here?
I am well. I had a snow day. Didn't have to goto work.
that sounds like lots of fun. No snow of course, but even if there were snow, I'd still have to go to work!!! :)
did you play in the snow, or just stay warm inside?
Hey people, Im new
hello will.
Hey redturtle!
not too many people here as the grid was so small.
Hello sanch_will! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
ok, I just started half an hour ago. What time does it start each day?
Hi minveryork, thanks! I'm good, struggling a bit. It's just my second day here
I shoveled the deck and I took dog for a walk. Other than that I stayed inside. It is back to work manana.
This grid changes at midnight central standard time.
At the top of puzzle you will see how many hours left.
I live in Ireland :S
So what time is it for you now over there in Ireland?
2:15 am
So the grid will change for you at five in the morning.
Ok, thanks for that!
It changes for me at 1:00 A.M.&I usually miss change.
finally halfway. these small grids are just killers.
I shoveled once this year, since I live in a semi tropical zone, the shovelling was a novelty.
Ah 4/6! Here is a story of clues for those who ca 4/5 find some of the words.When I was a little kid I rolled into a bee hi 4/8. I ma 4/6 their nest&the bees were not happy. Didn't learn my lesson and I did the sa 4/5 thing again two years later. Got more stings the 2nd time th 4/5 the 1st time. Sh 5/14 on me! I wanted to cut up their nest with a sh4/8. I immediately started crying and ran to the house to tell my Mother.While I was running I tripped & fell and sprained my finger. I had to wear a sh 5/18 for awhile.Now I'm going to go watch the ep4/6 movie Spartacus.I will be back later on to help give hi 4/5s if needed. Adios to all for now.
could your story include some assistance, or a Hi** for the 7??
I posted story earlier, but thought you might need it Good Enough and sanch_will. I hope it helps you guys.
pe7: annoyance is a pet pe*** plus slap me with a f***.
The word is my last word and I am waiting to enter it.
oh thanks..
Thanks, got a couple more now! I've 27 so far..
Minver's stories are really fun!
my Mom also got stuck in a Bee Hi** when she was young.
Got four stings on each side of my side redturtlehead
ok fireworks. Sorry folks, I must get in the bed, as work tomorrow is bound ot be not good again. just busy but it goes easier when one is well rested.
and Minver, I am glad you are not still swollen from that incident!
Congratulations redturtlehead on fireworks! Hooray!
Bye redturtlehead!I will see you tomorrow in the chat
hi again; just wandering theough.
It's awfully quiet when it's a small grid
Hi again Nef! How are you? Welcome back to the grid!
I'm fine, Min. How much snow did you guys get?
any c6?
ca6/24 is ca 4/5 plus abbreviation for hello wildcat17
Hello wildcat17!How are you doing?Welcome to puzzle
ty
hi min
firebirds
I'm baacckk!!
We got about a foot of snow I think. But next week I am getting sleet and freezing rain. Snow will not last.
hagn
WooT WooT WooT wildcat!!
Hello jillyjill! How are you? Welcome back to the grid!
I don't understand the shorthand you guys use..
We had snow today and now it's freezing rain...
Congratulations wildcat17 on fireworks! Good for you
WTG, wildcat! YAY!!!!
I guess we will be getting the freezing rain you have.
Hang in there sanch_will....you'll catch on
I am done! I have fireworks! pe7/48 was my last word
I have been saving my last word since this afternoon.
Yay Minv!! WooT WooT WooT!!
Ill be here off and on to help with clues if still needed.
sanch, below the grid is the tile stats grid. Under that is the "friends of Babble section. AngelSong's Babble Page is the best reference for newbies (plus the Help page above the chat log)
what does pe7/48 mean for example?
YAY, Min!!! WTG!!!!
ok, thanks nef!
pe is the combo, #/#= the number of letters and point count
the 1st 2 letters of a 7letter word worth 48 pts
so pe7/48 means the 7 letter word starting with pe with point value of 48
sorry nef...chog slow, I repeated you...
no problem, Jilly. the Chog has been slow for me for 2-3 days now
and sanch_will, we all were new at one time or another
Hey Nef, how is hubby doing?
he saw the neurologist today. He's doing good except for the pulled back muscle
how's yours doing?
Seems to be doing very nicely on the meds, personality returning, thought processes clear. *sigh*..his job is still holding back from letting him come back.
I tell you (and anyone else) take sleep apnea VERY seriously and GET TREATED!!
yes! I'm glad he's doing better; what type of job does he have that they won't let him come back?
Med Tech (or CLS)
Med tech I understand, CLS I don't
Clinical Laboratory Scientist...just more certification
My hubby has sleep apnea & will do NOTHING about it.
okay. I was afraid he might be working with something like nuclear bombs or something; *then* I'd worry.
Husband went to a sleep clinic & was diagnosed with it. Hubby got a C-PAP but did not like sleeping with it.
Minv...mine waited several years, then was very diligent about wearing CPAP mask, but no follow-up. Had worsened and he also had atypical narcolepsy. Job has been threatened and he has been on medical leave for 3+months....
DH sleeps with one; makes a HUGE difference in functioning and mental health.
and it caused some mental deficiencies (reversible) and personality changes
My brother-in-law sleeps w/one too and swears by it.
atypical narcolepsy? what's that (I have narcolepsy myself)
I shoulda guessed when we hadn't had a good fight in 2 years....lol
Hoping he could convince husband to, but to no avail.
Well, in his daytime sleep study he only went into REM sleep once, not twice...but otherwise, fit pattern
Hey Nef,do you ever fall asleep while you are babbling
Are you on meds NEf?
LOL, Min! MAybe *that's* why he doesn't like Babble? ;-)
have been for 40+ years, Jilly
That gives me much hope Nef...thank you!!
I fall asleep playing Babble when I'm tired. Sometimes I do actually hit the screen or keyboard with my head
My school had a security guard who we all swore had narcolepsy.Students would walk by him and say, "Hey Mr. Security man, wake up!"Not a good thing to have if you are a Security Guard of a school.
I'm not so sure mine hasn't had it for awhile; it just got better initially when he got the CPAP.
LOL, Min! That would be a pretty bad job
Or the man had a graveyard shift at another job and never got any sleep.Needless to say, he wasn't asked back. Sadly though I heard that he has passed away.
And Minv, the new CPAP machines are very small as are the masks. But it took our youngest reading his dad the riot act for mine to finally get diagnosed in 2006
I've been very functional for most of that 40+ years; if I'm overly tired I can't say I'm totally functional. But I worked 34 years in ICU and the only time I'd fall asleep at work was at the end of the shift on a horrid day when I sat down to give report
I am off to watch General Hospital on SoapNet. Bye all
Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow
niters, Min
My hubby's is falling asleep easily whenever he sat down
oh.. niters minv!! Stay warm!
You're done with grid, right Nef?
yes, I'm done
I've 15 words left :(
Nice sanch, let us know if you need any clues
Can you tell me the last 15 words!
if I lay down, I'm asleep. And I have the hypnogogic hallucinations with the sleep paralysis too
sanch, we don't tell you the words, but we can clue them
Wow Nef...
I'm joking!
need clue for me 6 please.
Oooh I used to get sleep paralysis. That stuff is scary.
goes with eeny meeny, mkg
ma**** potatoie
Hello everyone!
meeny??????????
invictus, don't you get it anymore?

hi Mark
I just wish I could get sleep...*sigh*...the perils of the middle age woman!!
I only get it now if I take a sleeping pill.
i still dont get it nef.
I clued the me 5, Jilly clued the ma6. There isn't an me6
i need the me 5 but dont understand the clue.
LOL, oh well...
LOL, invictus! That's the last thing I'd ever need
Yeah, don't need sleeping pills anymore either. I used to have terrible insomnia though and when I would get some decent sleep, I'd get the sleep paralysis.
chicken chow me** + vowel

WTG, mkg!!! YAY!!!
I'm short one t, is there a t5 or t6?
th5/12
(and it isn't a common word)
WooT WooT WooT Dan2!!
brb
sanch_, there is a list if you are interested. In friends of Babble, go to Lickety's Babble Clues
it gives you the first 2 letters with the letter and point count (the way we clue)
Hello babble land.
Hey mamawa!
May I please have a clue for th5-12? Thanks
Can i have a clue for the th5?
hi MaMaWA
th5 - article + preposition
Hey, great minds think alike.
Thanks nef
Long time no chogging
And there we go....
Thanks dan.
yw, sanch_
where have you been MaMa?
YAY, ga!!! WTG!!!
I am here for a bit most days but just no time to chat!
now THAT I understand!
I have become a lurker.... for the most part LOL
I am halfway, but it seems like i have so few words!
well, it's good to "see" you again.
Still have 5 to go here
TY Nef you too
these small grids are like that, Mark. But the words end up being very twisty too
Thanks, Dan.
I am a little short one the h out of 6.
do you have the h6/27, Mark? (It's a really stupid word-- it was my last word and took forever
No, I don't.
going to list.....
the last he is a he 4/7; if you extend it it becomes the he6
I have a he4/7, but it is the indian plant that fuels smoking;
yep, extend it
I can't find the extension;
(with 2 vowels)
Can I've a hint for ep5?
ep4 + plural
Finally, I have it.
sanch....pl the ep4 above.
pl a Hebrew unit of dry measure, sanch_
Got it, thanks"
I don't have it.
Looking at fireworks for the first time in months!!
sanch_, you can put a definition into a reverse dictionary and it will show up that way. The little square with the ? in front of each word will give the definition of the word
ca 5 was my last
ca 5 was my last
YAY, MaMaWA!!!! WTG!!!!
Okay everybody... I am a little disappointed today, but it is time for me to leave. Goodbye everyone!
NO, Mark! You can finsih!
It is bedtime;
oh, okay
Normally I can not finish these short ones. but this wasn't too bad.
Ty ! I will try a couple of clues if anyone still needs them.
I found the last 5 to be tough. I just couldn't see them for the longest time
May I please have a clue for ph6-27? Thanks
Ph think of the cycles of the moon.
em 4/6 pls?
I am not the best of cluers
em is an alt. spelling of a large flightless bird, invictus
em sounds like an australian bird
ty
did you get the ph GApeach
MaMa, your clue was nearly the same as what I was typing; so I erased mine before I posted it. I don't think you're a bad cluer
Thnks Nef
Not yet, MaMaWA, still looking for it.....thanks
okay, ga. Teens go through ph**es; + the roads are **y today
That should do it ga
(I think that that is a bad clue though)
Thanks, MaMa and Nef. That was the last one.....see y'all at the flip.
Nice to be here again and good night. Not a bad clue Nef I am out. : )
Well, that took a little longer than I expected...so what have I missed?
sweet dreams MaMa, sorry I missed you.
niters MaMa!
Hey stiddy...(((hugs)))
YAY, ga!!! WTG!!!!
hi stid
Yay GA!!
wandering in for a few minutes, listening to one of the sources for my master's project and trying to stay awake to hear how the high school basketball game went tonight... the boys were playing in the band
2nd he 4/6 pls?
YAY peach!
Invictus think Dodge pick-up engine
has to do with blood, invictus
or a version of "we live in the northern ****sphere
oh! I got the 8!
ty i swear i tried that earlier ugh
Better clue nef! Guess I'm not thinking nursey right now
Yay Stiddy!!
and suddenly down to 10
LOL! I was giggling about that Jilly! hoyadoc has a blind spot for all things medical too
YAY, stid! This little grid should take you less than 10 minutes! ;-)
oh, it already took more than 20 earlier... LOL 8 now.
ahhh, you already beat me stid, about an hour straight thru...newbie that I am...
how many ph today please?
2
thanks Nef. *thinking*
only one P 6?
it's the ph6
yes
I have the ph 6. okay. *thinking more*
It is a little twisty today...
it was a fishy babblet. 6 now
any CU?
nope stid
okay.
I think I will peek at the list. brb
Any help with He4/6? the H with three words.
he 4/6 I have is he + "i" (not you or he)
sanch_, the first one is similar to asking "what?"
5...
then stid just clued the 2nd one; and the 3rd one is pot
errr, sorry I meant rope
It's the one that's similar to asking what...
Hmm...
three...
oh, you want a short laugh sound in the plural, methinks...
one...
he+ o** and a**
Got it, thanks!
GO, go Stid!
that's the first he4, do you need more?
You can do it sanch_!!!
No, I have them all thanks!
go stid!!
Thanks nef, just two left!
did you finish, sanch_?
fishy babblet serf word. firewords
phantom word for me today was cupid...
YAY, stid!!! WTG!!!!
Yay WooT WooT WooT stiddy!!
thanks for the help!
Goooo sanch_!!
BTW, how are you stiddy?
go sanch go!
You can do it, sanch_!!!
another migraine, this one seems to be mostly visual, so not painful, but frustrating that reading is harder than normal.
won't get as much accomplished this evening as I had hoped.
Thanks guys :)
how are you jilly? you seem to be on at a different time than I am when I am in school
My neck is giving me a headache, so I have empathy!!
did you finish and see Fireworks, sanch?
Not yet, two more!
*gently rubs jilly's neck and puts a warm compress on the muscles and a cold compress on the head*
Actually, was too busy during the holidays and wasn't on as much...as you can see by my rankings fall
*purrs contentedly and passes back to stid*
my rankings are toast since I returned to school. I need an extended illness again so I can rebuild my stats!
ooo, watch what you ask for...lol
good point. *stern mama look at the illness fairies*
stid; don't even *think* about that! Rankings don't matter
AFTER I finish this school year and get my degree!!!
*makes good wish for stid*
true that, Nef -- I am here because the task calms me, and the conversations make me feel less alone.
I was on facebook with carlee, but couldn't read the text in the chat there so had to stop.
Now the chat here is getting hard to read, too.
that's better
I actually really missed the babble community...you all are such a great support group!!
I think I will be back tomorrow -- have an all-day study session (until I take the dog to the vet for tooth extraction) to work on this paper...
One word left!
not your eyesight, I meant the reason for being here
We understand stiddy, take care and hope you feel better soon...
Need help Sanch?
I find if I time myself with the writing tasks I can push really hard for 30-40 minutes then rest my eyes with other activities.
GO, sanch_!!!
((((hugs all)))) will say YAY in advance for sanch and see you-all again soon!
*poof*
I have pe7 left
bye stid!
sanch, it rhymes with the th8
rhymes with the th8/65
Nef we are on the same thought pattern tonight I swear!!
:D
WoOOO!
YAY, sanch_will!!! WTG!!!!
WooT WooT WooT sanch....ain't it sweet!!
Thanks!
Thanks for the help!
You are very welcome...we love our newbies!!
yes we do!
Yeah I think I'll start playing this more.
How did you find the website, I just stumbled upon it yesterday.
hello -- fireworks!
It's a one-time fee to go pro and WELL worth it!!
GOOD! THEN we make you go Pro! <rubs hands together in delight!>
Hiya Sis....WooT WooT WooT!!
hi jilli!
welcome, sanch_will!
Yep Sanch_will....welcome to our little...a4/6, addiction...
hi jillyjill (jj) :)
some friends in a RPG told me about this; I joined on my first game I liked it so much
What happens when you go pro
and nef :)
when you go pro you can get an icon and a flag and keep the stats and fireworks when you finish.
Speaking of babble community, do any of you know if Daykat or Herin are in the flooding?
AND you get to keep seeing stats after the first 2 weeks
and a profile -- click on the icons and you'll meet some interesting people.
all over the world!!
Herin is safe in Melborne; I don't know Daykat.
Herin is in Melbourne, in the souht, but gortmold is right in the middle of the flooding in Queensland but on a dry mountain.
*south
I don't know Daykat either
Guess I'd better get on more often....I'd usually be on with her on weekends.
brb -- going to look for the next icon theme person -- Science Heroes is the theme...
And I need to get to bed. Starting to lose it again.
good night, everybody.
Me too, going up north tomorrow so won't be on this weekend...take care everyone!!
evening all...(need 3 to finish)
2 now ;)
I don't know who all might be Pini - they all seemed to vanish when I came in! I can clue too
oh, hi, hoot!
I need a 4 and a 5 ... will take a nudge for the 5 (me5)...if you have it...
1 now ;) that's the last...
think what you did as a kid to decide who went first -eeny ...
danke! *sparklers* here!
congrats !
I was monkeying all around it...just didn't stretch that far...
thx, to you, too!
usual enable trick - hows the weather by you?
yw
just wet here...
where you on this morning?
...and rather warm compared to yesterday...51F
freezing here! Colder than I ever had it in NY!
21 in glorious Memphis
We were supposed to have a guest fly out here today from NYC (JFK) for 4 days (work related), but he had to cancel due to your snow...
...I was scrambling around today to rearrange the event schedule...oh, what fun...
not mine anymore
that can be a royal pain! I hope people realised it was not intentional
Oh, I know that...one of our faculty members was not as kind...
come to think of it - it was our snow! Came thru here first then up the east coast
there is alway, always one idiot!
did he/she expect them to walk?
hi all
hi jmc
Yeah, he thought we shouldn't reschedule saying he wouldn't change his schedule to accommodate...and it's his job!
whoo hoo pini
mmm 32 left
He rather thinks our program and, for that matter, the world revolves around him...fool
hey jmc!
we have an hour jmc
yeah i had a big luncheon to go to tomorrow that was canceled because the speaker is snowed in in boaton
aren't a ;ot of men like that? Ignore him
don't know if i can stay awake or concentrate enough
is there a list?
Oh, trust me...I ignore him...
yes, jmc ;)
Lickety's working
yup
admit it hoot there are a lot of women like that too! lol
...this is a guy who said, "If you need to send an email to the faculty, just call my phone and leave a message; I don't do computers - don't have time to learn 'em."
HA!!! I showed him!
what really has me wondering is all the people compalining in Manhatten about how long it took to dig out
...I've never left a message on his phone and now we can't stop him from emailing!
and he teaches?
go figure ... men
ok
but not as many
professor
silly professor
I have a F prof in my dept that has been difficult lately, too...
F?
...we're doing our MFA admissions online right now (first time for e-filing)...
F = female
oh
...she expects me to print out every application so she can read them on paper instead of on the screen...
let's see if my icon changed
I'm not that awake
nope
...that ain't gonna happen!
hi m9
yes it did m9
do you see an animation for my icon?
...the director told her if she was adamant about reading them on paper she could print them out herself!
such luddites! lol
no animation
hurray for the director
none here either, m9
adamant is one of my all time favorite words
Neither of them have any idea of the headaches I've had using this new process...
nope no animation
it is a good one
so you still see the NCIS guys?
...to give them an idea, I've archived ALL of the emails I've sent/received regarding this project into one file folder...
They never do. It's below them
...on Monday there were about 800...
...today there were about 1050...
in the small icon it is still the ncis guys but i haven't refreshed
(yes, m9...still NCIS in the grid, a math-shape thing in the prof)
ah.. I don't see the transformation of a helicoid to a catenoid anywhere.. it said it loaded.. so I have to take it's word. I even shut down and restarted babble
is it animated in my prof?
not for me, m9
well pfpft.
sometimes you have to refresh more than once
yours is. pretty cool too

They're almost neck and neck, and the finishig line is in sight. jmc pulls ahead... the crowd gasps.

High School that is

the tension in the crowd was getting to me
m9 is still galloping well and doesn't have long to go.

don't sweat it jmc we have valium
I have top p, the e right under and the bottom t
and xanax
go m9 go!
m9 needs to ask the crowd for help.
one 4 and 2 5's to go...
i ate to much tabbouleh and didn't have room for jack
oh
*too
I have no idea what either tabbouleh or jack are.
my p's: 7 4 6 4 4
but it was good homemade tabbouleh
<made chinese chicken salad for din din
another 4 between the 7 and 6
ph?
I assume jack might be 'Jack Daniels' that horrible brew that is nothing like whiskey?
yes jac
it is nothing like whiskey because it is bourbon
ok. looking..
burbon and sugar
ruru - ph6 is in the sequence it should be in.
similar beginning but different end
argh.. I KNOW I typed that one earlier!!!
Yes, but bourbon is the horrible version of whiskey.
bourbon and sugar *blech* :-P
m9 did this grid in a parallel universe
then why can't I drink it? I'm allergic to rye and and love real bourbon
1...
I mean, who in their right minds would distill maize to make whiskey? LOL
go m9 go!
yes.. it was the evil me. the one with the goatee
who puts sugar in bourbon
jack daniels has sugar
Hoot - no idea, since I don;t drink it.
ok done
Has anyone explained what tabbouleh is yet?
Well done, m9.
<only drinks scotch
bulgar lemon parsley.. etc... right?
well I'm not allergic to sugapeople who can't get anything else to use Jac - corn did start here
tabbouleh is like pasta
M9 finally got to the finishing line The crowd had started chatting amongst themselves by then, but most turned around to cheer her.
ru it is filtered through sugar maple charcoal -- a kind of wood but no sugar added
it's nothing like pasta.
it took her waaaaay too long jac.. we've moved on
it is technically not a bourbon because they filter twice
I'm dring Johhny Red tonite - can you tell???
WHOOO HOOOO M9!
yes
(getting prepared to pull ru's hair)
you are thinking of couscous which is a pasta
*shaves head to frustrate m9*
tabbouleh has mint
tabbouleh is made from bulgar wheat
I don't put mint in my pasta.
(rubs ru's head for luck)O
So far as I can tell from Googling, it's bulgar wheat, to which I am allergic.
*lower*
next grid?
