how heart-warming, granny!
lol, have been waiting since july for this renovated bathroom, every little thing is SOOOO major here.
well granny, it's a major start
hoping to have 4 walls by next week
walls are nice!!
i really should take pics and post them in my profile
yes, granny!
when we installed new floor in powder room, had to take a bit off bottom of the door to fit - had to wait for an extra man to help with that job
it's unfortunate that i didn't think to do so at the beginning...the original room was only 6 feet by 5 feet
lurking fireworks
wtg pugs
now i't 6 feet by seven feet. have a 4 x 3 foot shower to go in, an old slipper bath, with a high back, and so deep...
and fireworks here, too
wtg pugs!
WTG FREEP!!!

nice to have a deep bath granny
oh, flosey, i so miss a bath, nothing like a long soak after a day from hell

little bo.... has lost her sheep
crap, thanks. never thought of that

hey babblers, can i pls have a clue for the top middle 3 (got one but don't know which)?
nm got it!
what
Hello all. Yet another common word south of the equator rejected by Enable: stoep.
Morning all. How many words today please
and the so4 word has defied my attempts to find a dictionary entry for it.
Hi sandrafrances only 58 nearly all peculiar short onees
Thanks
Anyone after clues before I go housework?
bye for now
morning all....
Morning!
pewts
OOps! Not a word anyway
peth
Fireworks!
grats!
cheers!
good morning babblers!!! and when are we going to get a nice BIG grid????
the last 2 weeks we haven't gone above 150, most of the time barely scraping the 100 mark. I reckon Dr G. isn't shaking the box properly.
good morning friends. quick little number today!
sigh
Not sure I get the number of small grids. The more small grids, the less people are here. Not very good for the site.
hello, can anyone clue the be5/18 please, that's if there is anyone out there!!!
I had said something months ago about how, eventually, dr god is sure to run out of grids, and people laughed at me and were all "no, that could never happen!" um. yeah.
and hello molly!
mummy, I don't have it yet....
Mummy, biblical term.
be5/18 - be + to fetch.
would anyone mind if dr god reran a grid? I am not sure I would even notice
Ah, Liz beat me to it with the Biblical reference.
thanks dachef, fireworks. can go and get dressed now and do something with the rest of the day!
Trif, I am quite sure with all the brainiacs here, that someone with a photographic memory would remember.
huzzah for mummy!!!
theoretically, you can never actually 'run out' of grids, as they are generated randomly, and there are thousands of possible permutations. However, this number is not infinite and inevitably there will be a repeat of a grid sooner or later.
yes, molly, I suppose you are right
ty all, this is the third gri I have completed this year, something of a record for me, I have been playing for years and only ever complete once in a blue moon!
i agree, dachef, but a fair number would be useless as grids - no vowels, all one letter, no consonants, 11 qs, etc
Ah, nothing like fresh squeezed orange/grapefruit juice to start your day off with a bounce.
Trifi , I just got a kick out of your FB post LOL
thanks lil. gawd it was a right old scene, though
Maybe she needs to watch a movie like Precious, to get a little perspective.... or Mommie Dearest
um, she's 11, with some pretty significant delays, so precious is out, but yeah, maybe mommie dearest, or angelas ashes...
sorry, Trifi, i was kidding about the movie
no, its fine! I am kidding too. would never make anyone watch angelas ashes!
read the book, yes, watch that movie? nope
no, it's too harsh
anyway, it was pretty funny to hear her. You have to laugh, right?
I remember crying for a fair amount of time when I was little, because my poor auntie made summer squash for dinner. I was NOT happy
yes ! because it's so riduculous! i'm sure she will laugh too, when she's 30 or so
i usually had a crying tantrum any night there was chipped beef for dinner
ugh! I think I still might....
that white flour gravy is particularly disgusting to me
have anyone in the chog read the book, "Room" ???? very strange
gads, remember when the ability to make white sauce was considered the height of culinary excellence?
no....
i'm reading it now, it's the story of a woman who was abducted and hidden in a room for approx 6 years, the story is told from the point of view of her 5 year old son who was born "in captivity"
it's very strange, i'm close to the end now
oh, wait, I have heard of that! yes, it is supposed to be quite challenging to read
Emma Donoghue?
yes, zoozo
I wonder if it was inspired by the story of that woman who was held prisoner for all those years in, uh....europe somewhere?
I'm trying to stay away from creepy stuff like that right now.
i ahven't finished it yet
yes Molly, that's the word, it's CREEPY
oh, I just looked outside, and the sky is an amazing shade of bright pink, lovely against the black trees and white snow
nice, Trifi! post a pic!
was just thinking - I don't think it would photograph correctly
I've had enough creepy stuff go on in real life, I don't need books or movies like that, just at the moment.
the color is really pretty, but tenuous
i agree Moly... the next book I read will be something fun
maybe i'll re-read one of the Harry Potters
for some brain candy I can highly recommend any of the "shopaholic" books by Sophie Kinsella. they are really pretty funny
my word for Babblers is in the chog! Hello my pe4 s
oh thanks Trifi
okay, i have hit the "bee in the window" phase of babbling.....entering the same words over and over, thinking they will work this time, this time, this time
Bzzzz...SMASH....Bzzzz....SMASH....Bzz zzz...SMASH
i'm exactly halfway now
yeah, thats about how much fun it is, too
Get crackin' Lil. You have toenails to be painted, shoes to buy, lunch to be eaten. What a day!
poor tertiare got her heart BROKEN for the first time yesterday, and she has a swim meet first thing this morning, which I am hoping will be a good distraction.
the little puke dumped via text message, too
i know! after my rendez vous with littlebit, i'm driving over to my pal Woody's house to watch football at 4:30, and i'm bringing a pizza
oh that sucks, Trifi! poor tert
People who break up that way are very cold hearted.
it's the first of many, lil.....the high school dramz is well underway
And chickenshit.
I am trying to be objective...he is just as young as she is, so he is not exactly smooth
Lil, sounds like you have an A+ day. Have fun!
thanks Molly! but first, I'm going jogging... in about 20 mins when it's a little lighter
You are kind Trif. If I ever found out that one of my sons broke up with a girl that way, I would light into them like the Irish bitch from hell I can be about such things.
wow lil, I am tired just reading about your day!
if he was my son, I would. I am taking care of her, and hopefully his mom is lighting into him
LOL trifi... that's just how I roll. I usually cram a lot into the weekends.
Lil is The Energizer Bunny.
HA!
Energizer Monkey!
they were "going out" for over a year, so, yes, a face to face meeting would have definitely been the way to go. in middle school/high school terms, that's at least one reincarnation with the same mate
wow that's really cold , trifi! After a year of dating, I would expect more than a text msg
yeah, well. boys are idiots, and they breed em that way
Breaking up via text or email is the DOWN side of the cyber generation.
grown men are idiots too, we can attest to that
G'morning. Could somebody work the bo6 into their conversation.
It's like this ladies. We all start out female. Just that lovely X-chromosome. Then the Y-chromo comes and pollutes what was perfect to begin with.
Yes Gramma, Little Bo....has lost her sheep.
Ty
Who knew?
seems like the addition of the Y chromosome equals loss of brain cells
Gramma, after I found out that weewee is an acceptable Babble word, anything goes.
boys/men are so NOT aware
i have to weewee right now

fireworks
wtg annie!
WTG Annie!
ok..what is it with these bitty grids...
*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~* for Annie WTG dear :)
thanks
I know, Carlee..i might not bother to do any more if this carries on.
*~*~*POMPOM TOSS *~*~*for disney too
babble gods are boosting our egos before the whammy
do i bother to even start this one?
tomorrow there will be a monster grid
yes, carlee, you will zip through
Hope so, Annie.
no..there wont...well..maybe...deepends...does dr god assume women dont want to watch the jets patriot game...or...
I predict a grid over 300 words
How is Tunisia, Carlee?
i predict a grid of about 100-120
its....busy :) i havent checked the news...but its about time the people there do something on their own rather then having someone else do it for them
this is crazy for a saturday, we have to send Dr. God a calendar!
there 2 big playoff football games today in nfl...me thinks... dr god made it quick
I just got on and have no time anybway but will later.....
Hello, Ruby :-)
i just got here too ruby..debating..do..not do... very torn
{{zzoozz}}
i hate these little ones...
Tunisia is one of those "who cares" places. If the two sides kill each other....yay!
Yeah about football, but I would guess the majority of players here do not watch American football.
It is not a hard grid, Carlee..compared to other small grids.
it might tho serve as example for all the other ME countries who live in similar contitions...
we don't get American football, only soccer (which I prefer). There is the "Eddy Show" where this guy who speaks worse French than me, calls the Monday night games.
no...i really dont like little grids...its like..oh ..here have a bite of this amazing cheesecake..oh..you liked it.tooo bad..no more left
What I wonder is this. A bunch of small grids in a row means less people on this site. That can't be good for business.
molly, do you think that's what it means or is it random, like the rest?
the mess in iraq would never have happened if iraqis did what the tunisians did but against saddam...
Could be random Ruby. But this many small ones in a row doesn't seem random to me.
or..maybe it is good for business...more people come on..and try a little grid....get sucked in...then once paid...get wallopped
I like the big ones with the in, en, re, builders
at least I reach half!
or DR god needs the servers lighter..less traffic and memory for setting up new program
which is likely the actual reason
we know how slow it gets during a monster grid... so many on..for so long... and huge numbers of words...
you are probably right, carlee
ok..killed the chog on that one..anyone have any good tasty meals planned for the weekend..i am so in a food rut am begging borrowing and stealing new recipes like mad
interested in couscous, carlee? I made a brilliant one on Wednesday which we're still eating
When Dr. God needs to work on the server, he's going to have to shut this place down for a while. That's the only way it works. The amount of traffic here doesn't make any difference. Of this I know, I run message boards.
that Molly is so smart!!!!
kids dont like it
okay molls... then..i am back to the football theory :)
this is a very hard grid for me!
i'm not doing it...at least not yet...
No Ruby, my husband was smart. He just lent some of that to me.
you are lucky; my husbands gave me very little in that area!
ask me anything about concrete...i got tonnes of that knowledge... other then that....
was your husband in that biz, carlee? so was my 2nd....hahah
yeap....he is..
and that's what he knows!
has trifs been around lately?....havent seen much of her or car.ee really of late
and what about sandyloo? has anybody seen her?
You just missed Trif, and Car.ee was on yesterday.
i saw car.ee for a few yesterday...
sandyloo was my Tour de France friend!!
Sandyloo i saw here a few days ago.
its saturday..what are these fools doing up so early...wait..trifs would be letting the dog out..one thing about a dog...you never get a lie in
havent seen much of scrabs or feather...
I am happy, zzooozz, I was worried about her!
rarely see mrp either
Mr.p popped in a few days ago also.
OK, half, but not another word in sight!
ok..cool..i know she has her hands full
ok..ruby..u've convinced me..if i t has some teeth..i will dive in
have you got the false hair word, ruby...to5/12
too funny, zzoozz; I would never have spelled it that way. It must be colonial!
:-)
If you change the second letter, you get the indian tent word.
American indian tent i should say.
American colonial!!
20 mins and down to 12
morning all
Hello, Kallia :-)
you are too smart, kalia!

Hi Babblers
hi norma and hi babblers xxx
Hi Frog good afternoon
good afternoon xxx
It is a horrible grid today ;o(
yes - bit like the weather lol
Yes
hi all - does anyone have a clue for the bo 6 / 30 ?
hi teach and sorry no not got that far yet xx
I have been looking for that one for the past hour and my monkey skills haven't found it yet lol
bo6: think of a girl who lost her sheep
Morning folks. Go Steelers
ooo ty clarkie lol xx
she looking for her sheeps
:)
OH clarkie that is brilliant thx
thnx clarkie - i thought i had monkeyed every possibility
i can't take credit - someone hinted at it earlier.
just sharing the love
Thx Yvo good clues from you both, I also thought I had monkeyed every possible combination xxx
but we needed you now - and that was my final word - fireworks here
****** Congrats ******
congrats, teach
credit also goes to someone,this gid is hard.
gr
This grid is a nightmare at it for about 2 hours only got 58 words think I might admit defeat shortly ;O)
this is what happens when i dont watch what im doing.
lol
norma - there are only 58 words in the grid today
anyone want any clues before I go shopping? e4,8 is one word that used to be said as a string of initials.
norma there are only 58 words so you must have fireworks
I can't count looked at the wrong one only got 27 still got 31 to go :o(
em4,8
hi, folks .. a week of shorty grids!
Horrible grid today welki ....
considering that the vowels are one O and the rest E's .. yep, i think it might be a little stinker
and no vowels in bottom two rows! i should fortify my coffee :)
In fact, to4,5 sums up quite a number of the other words.
re the bottom row - not many of the words reach down into it.
ok..new router works
I make it seven words reach the bottom row.
teco
hi carlee...must be something in the way the planets are aligned. you're the second or third person this week with router issues
Well done carlee I have had a new router sitting next to the computer for about a week now haven't had the courage to try it ... but need to be brave soon
is that computer mexican food Yvo?
LOL
'morning, ru
:) morning
ok, breezed through the first 42 .. now the words are starting to hide behind their letters
down to 6 and it's hair pulling time
hi, owl
Hi Temple Owl - you want clues? or are you gritting your teeth?
must be...i used to get fab signal in my bedroom..then..nothing...we had to be sitting beside the old router ( 2 month old) in order to get signal...stupid internet
that em 4/8 sure is a strange one
Yes Shadow. That used to be initials.
:)
a clue for the em 4 ould be nice
nm
I had to monkey it, but I think it has something to do with a pint
I thought it was an abbreviation for swear words
Temple : think of how you say the name of the letter f in the plural. Then change first consonant.
or a sound you might make when trying to lift something obscenely too heavy to lift
Those of you who did physics at school might remember it as initials. I did.
like my mother in law
uhm, that would be a fart, carlee
lolol
Welki - don't lower the tone !
'scuse me?
Bonjour mes amis!
Yesterday we had poot/ers (courtesy of me) and today you have words beginning with fa !
You OK Temple Owl?
3
Nearly there welki
i have one left, a b6 *looking*
the p words are becoming hard to find
That b6 has had several clues earlier today. But a type of looking is in the word. Think sheep.
who'd think!!! baaaaaaaaaaaaa!
got it, thanks :)
I thought you might have said eeeeeeeeeee instead!
feeling sheepish welki?
you want clues movieman?
only by accident that i found it ... i found little bo urinated .. and then, lo and behold!
not yet scouser
more coffee needed .. lousy night's sleep

I like the little ones.
i don't mind them so much, but on some days I wouldn't mind two little ones. it's a long saturday with many chores to do, but I like diversions and excuses to procrastinate
ru -- I told Ken how much I enjoyed that gevrey chambertin and he said he was glad to hear that they're still drinking well and i should let hm know when I run out. woohoo!

hi esprit
tragedy has struck my family again
hiall.
oh good morning, what happened Jean?
what happened esprit?
my nephew, 27, NJ cop, was shot and killed yesterday
hi mkg and jbv
oh my that's horible jean soooo sorry
oh, no! I just read about that Jean - that's right near where I live! How terrible for your family!
he is the son of my brother who committed suicde on labor day
oh double tragedy - so very sad to hear this
seemed so senseless and unprovoked
oh how sad!
yes, the story said he was sitting in his patrol car when it happened - hadn't even drawn his gun
jean, so sorry to hear
yes exactly
you and your family are in my prayers
ty that's all I ask
his fiancee is inconsolable
they had a beautiful picture of him with his fiancee on the front page - what a terrible loss
my other nephew has lost his father and brother in only a few months
very hard on him
yes, he is a little odd looking because he developed alopecia a few years ago
jbv which paper?
Jean, what's his first name? I will definitely pray for his family...all of them. You're right, it is senseless evil.
christopher
very frightening - and if you're praying, please send up a prayer for my nephew who is a police officer in Santa Fe - even younger, only 24 years old
Star-Ledger
it's probably online at nj.com
bless them for being there for the community
Thanks - you all will be included in a couple of prayer chains. I'll include your nephew, too JBV.
thank you, java
thank you all
You're welcome. It's all we can do, but it's a powerful thing to do.
have you seen the FB page jean? what a beautiful tribute.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/RIP-Offi cer-Chris-Matlosz/180931118604382?v=wa ll

((hugs)) to all of you
bye mom
See ya mom! Thx, jmc!
JBV, if you are still here, my condolences. Thoughts and prayers going your way
bye bye jmc and Mark
i think you mean esprit mom
What happened?
esprit's nephew a police officer in NJ was shot as he sat in his patrol car
oh I do, duh, thanks jmc
his father was her brother who killed himself last fall
must be thinking of jbv for some other reason.
OMG, i heard that on the news yesterday! that was esprit's nephew?!
Esprit, sorry for the mistake. My condolences
i suspect God would send the prayers in the right direction
I'm so sorry.
because jbv said she has a nephew who is a police officer too
yes shirl and there is a fb page
I hope he would jmc. He is use to dealing with me.

oh dear the flooding in Australia is spreading
poor old Australia it either doesnt rain for four years or you get this
it is terrible
hi deeha
who is the cute girl in the photo?
Hi all hi jmc. Any help gratefully received for last word bo6??
the girl that lost her sheep
stupid word
She is my fabulous granddauighter the only one I am likely to get so I have to make a fuss of her!!
I DONT BELIEVE IT!!
sorry what don't you believe?
bo6?
She got a ';magic wand' for Christmas but she said to me 'Nana I promise I will never mever turn you into a frog' so I am very releived!!
Yes, that stupid word!!
I can understand you relief--magic wands can be dangerous in the wrong hands! lol
whooo hooo for fw deeha
58 words? Grrrr.
And good day to all.
hi scrabs you are not the only one disappointed in the size
Why is it, at a weekend when you have more time the grids are always small?
exactly deeha
and it's a fast one too
hi wild
Dr God should add this to his Babble program: Weekend grids must be > 150 words.
hi
i think that is a good idea!
I'll 2nd that
and ban words like bo6
but the problem is the weekend doesn't exactly overlap the same in all parts of the grid
Also: no grid can be < 100 words.
it'll be close enough
Hm, boppee doesn't work.
well I am off to look for other pasttimes - unless anyone wants a clue??
hmmm i think that is a better plan
scroll down for clue
think lost sheep scrabs
I thought of boppee - \as in one who bops!!
No, TY, Deeha. I just started. I went right into town after I woke up, so my shopping and errands are done.
That's a word??
yup
Hokey cokey bye everyone see you tomorrow!!
apparently
bye deeha
Bye Deeha
i am spending the day at home--errands will have to be run tomorrow
bye deeha
I just got up- catching up on a little sleep
i slept til 9 myself (very late for me)
I needed to fill up my tires--looking low. My fingers almost fell off from being frozen.
AND I have Mon off - yay
so wild I will be in Austin next Oct
Morning all. I myself just got up from a nap after my Morning shift.
really??? we must get together
hi red
for how long?
yay for sleep
hi red
Oh, wildcat + JM can meet up!
Red, I thought it was 3am-3pm.
i am a keynote speaker at a mennonite event on saturday so at least until Sunday night
wish the rest of you could come too
dates?
What will you discuss, jm?
I may also come around blue bonnet time, but that will be with my sisters so not conducive to a meet up
i am asked to talk about my ministry in any way i want
you might need a flower tour guide ...
[blush]
Conscientious objection specifically?
lol wild i grew up in Texas i usually go to Washington-on-the-Brazos
no not just CO because I will no longer be the exec of the CO org I can expand on my thoughts
ah ok just a suggestion
lol thanks wild i appreciate it
jmc, a braod topic...It will be interesting to see what you decide to focus on.
i think my sisters will lobby for Lady Bird's wild flower whatever it is
My nephews best friend, 22, just finished 4 yrs with the Marines, and 2 tours of Afghanistan. He was fortunate to not get any injuries.
well i would like a chance after 11 years of being focused to talk about the connects of justice with peace
wonderful scrabs. what does he plan to do now?
i am happy to hear he has no known injuries
it should be a good flower season what with all the rain
well if i can get a chance away from my sisters i will see -- but this is too have us all together since my mother's funeral and the visit to file the estate in austin
His Marine comrade, a NC native, is coming here with him to share an apt. They will work and then begin college in August. My nephew met Jim in kindergarten and they have been buddies ever since.
my oldest sister was saying we would never all be together again so my second sister and I decided to make it happen
that is great scrabs
Good for you, JM.
that'll be good for all of you jmc. if a meeting works out then fine, otherwise I'll wait until Oct
isn't there some one else in austin?
My attorney sister, unemployed since last March, had a great interview yesterday and a 2nd one with the company on Monday. Assistant counsel for a health company. She SOOOO needs this position.
oh i hope she gets it!
that would be wonderful scrabs
I think it's angelsong who lives north of Austin, about an hour
i know so many atts out of work right now and many of them are not cut out to hang out a shingle like i can
Me too!!! 5 min from home, more like 9-5 M-f than 8-6 M-F + weekend work.
then i will keep a look out for her--and those in Houston certainly could come up
i used to drive from Houston to Austin for lunch from time to time
there are a few babblers in Dallas, like kje
Babble Blindness Syndrome has hit already and I have 26 to find.
well I'm at 3 scrabs so keep going
it is harder to get to austin from dallas since there is no really direct highway that i recall
but we should invite them too
19 left and you are better at this than i am
yes there is - 35 goes directly between and they've even finished most of the construction on it
down to 22 now
go scrabs go
oh okay that is relatively new then?
no it's an interstate so I assume it's been there since the system was built in the 50s
last time i tried to drive directly was about 15 years ago though
must've been during the height of the construction to widen it
well there you go -- rarely drove between austin and dallas since i lived in houston
but when my husband died i took my son down to texas and we spent 2 weeks driving around
that would explain it
gosh closer to 20 years ago now
I have a cousin in Dallas, his daughter goes to UT Austin, and another cousin's kid lives in Austin.
and why dont you come visit them??
i have lots of friends and some family in austin
you could come in october scrabs! ;-)
I hate the entire air travel experience!
hi all, bo6/30 pls?
train?
Little Bo6 lost her sheep...
Train would be better for me.
scrabs are you bunnies on bunspace?
I object to em4/8. I strenuously object. It's an abbreviation.
ty Scrabbler, weird word
Molly, TY for reminding me of em4. I have seen it here before.
that's the only word you're objecting to?
what is it an abbreviation for?
It is a unit of measurement, like a tesla, amp, erg, joule
personally i object to bo6
electromagnetic frequency I think
ElectroMagnetic Force
No, not the only one. Just the one I'm objecting to at the moment.
Or frequency or field???
Any sm words?
ah i just thought it was a word by itself learn something new
no
gooooooood afternoon scrabblers xxxxxx
hi frog
Hi frogface
hi jm xxx
hi scrabbler xxx
any way i forget but it is either the first or second weekend in oct
em** is not in dictionary.com
k well keep me posted
Hi bunny!
Hi Scrabbler, have been enjoying the chat
oct 8-9 ... i looked it up the office calendar
hi fuzzy
Oops, just realized I need to update picture icon!
Hi Jmcnrick
so scrabs do you have your bunnys on bunspace?
looks like my black swim suit!
does anyone have a clue for the st 6 please ...I am stuck for sure, and my monkeys are very tired!!
bunspace.com
same as the st4 before it but extend with another consonant and vowel
it is a rather retro suit
double letters cw
if anyone is interested the em4 is officially defined as not only an abbreviation but the first three letters are capitals and the last isnt - so it is not an actual word but either an abbreviation or an acronym. I thank you xxx
those of us who are rotund need more coverage
JM, TY for telling me about Bunspace. I just registered and will await an e-mail so I can activate my account. Then I will get my 4 bunnies on there.
ty frog
np
i was listening to it on the radio
on the pet show on npr
ty, frog, interesting that it qualifies as a word here
thanks jmc!!
I think I went brain dead!
yw
fireflies
New to me, and perfect. I will tell my youngest sister. She has also raised house rabbits forever and currently has 5, including twin brothers that are bonded. "Thunder & Lightning"
Yippee Wildcat!
did you see i am coming to austin in oct cwest?
how far west are you?
whoo hooo wild!
Will house bunnies sleep in bed with you like cats do?
now what to do for the rest of the day ...
me jmc?
WTG wildcat!
west texas... Midland area
I was planning on being a vegetable, so this does not fit in well with my plans!
I am going skiing if I can ever get this done!
you could read
midland is close enough to come to a meet up in austin in oct
good one jmcnrick! i love to read!
how is the oil and gas museum doing?
doing great
I could get out another puzzle ... really enjoyed the one I did over new years
what kind of puzzle? jigsaw?
would love to come to the gathering in October!
15 left, time to go ski before the lifts shut down...
I was also disappointed in the size of the grid. I must now...errr. do housework.
probably on Oct 8 or 9
ugh, housework!
yes. the old-fashioned from-a-box on-the-table kind
you could read too red! :-)
keep us in the loop ... we just might go!
not feeling like reading right now
My oldest, tiniest bunny, Sebastian, almost 8 1/2, jumped in bed with me nightly until 13 mo ago. I suspect arthritis may be the issue although he runs around like a nut still.
I will po** something on my profile sometime in september if not before
sleep wild?
ok! sounds great!
You could make him a ramp to jump up to get on the bed, I had to do that for an old cat of mine
that's a tempting idea jmc
my friends put a step stool next to the bed so the jump was not as high-- like a step to the bed
I have considered that, fuzzy. I miss having him near me. I used to wake up in the night and find him next to my head.
that is what i would do if i didn't have work for the year end stuff that i need to do
What we don't do for our pet friends
sleep. mmmmmmm
I've seen ramps for dogs
anyone have a clue for the bo 6 please
little bo****
think lost sheep cwest
lol
bo 6 is the little gorl who lost her hseep
hi inge!
thanks jmc
yw
hi babblers, just passing by, having fun yet?\
i am inge plugging away
how are you?
got it for fireworks! Thanks everyone for all the clues!
I placed a box next to the bed but Sebastian did not use it. I will make a ramp.
whooo hooo cwest
Guten Morgen Freundin Inge! Wie geht's heute?
yahoo texan!
Cannot see well, cannot walk well, otherwise I am ok
Happy, comfortable and enjoying life, Inge?
glad you can still babble with us inge
Scrabbler,I hope your bunny makes it back up on your bed.
Yep, everything goes so darn slow now, even typing words
Hi everyone
hi sea
"poof"
bye fuzzy
Fuzzy, when I bring him up with me, to snuggle, he has seemed scared to jump down so I place him down. I will create a ramp.
OK, I created a Bunspace page for Bunny Sebastian. I am SO excited about this, jm! TY!!
sounds like a good plan scrabs
yw scrabs when i heard it i immediately thought of you!
I have to upload photos later.
lol
Gotta go. Give Sebastian a hug. He is an old acquaintance. So many new babblers therse days.
guess I'm going to go ... hagd e1
Bye wildcat

Hi Red!

I mean, for heavens sake. I can not longer blame the grid for distracting me. It was done hours ago! Ive walked the dog, and laundered...and dish washed, changed the sheets...
go Pav go and Hi there!!!
are you looking for more house chores? mine's available!
no no, I still have a very un[pleasant microwave to clean. but I would love to put it off...
by the power vested in me by HRH Princess Precious Potty Mouth (long story) I hereby grant thee permission to sloth off for just a wee bit longer and come chat with us...
well, the door (inside is now clean. I've been steaming it up with water....
how are you, do you need clues. ANyone?
oheah! red, how long has it been since the nuke-mobile was cleansed? don't answer, just rhetoprical...
sstuck at four...
that was odeah!..anyone have skinny fingers they like to lend me?
is there a b5?
3 now..all 5's ab5 and 2x t5
2 left
ok just the lone b5 left to find..a clue perchance?
yay! finito est!
thanks for the clues...I am done!
is anybody out there? odeah! I have scared them away!
Oh Sorry I was getting something done. How rude of me to offer clues and then leave!
Congratulations!!!!!!!! Shoots off roman candles and Catherine wheels.
catherine wheels?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine _wheel_(firework)
its a type of firework, very big.
thanks red! I think I'll be off...I have dishes to wash, trash to lug out, laundry to launder and a set of drapes to hang...it's only been about four or five years on the drapes, not that I'm in a rush...
Well, given the grid today....today is the day to do the drapes. Must run myself and work on some stuff.
yep..have to mount the brackets and all...oh, and then clean the house for the roof inspector on Mon
ciao mon ami!
good evening again babblers xxxxx
hi frogface
hiya bug xxx
pretty quiet today because it is a small grid
yes - i have only seven to do and no clues needed yet lol
I have 5 left but used a clue in the chog
it was a dumb nonexistant
word, sorry
have a cat sitting on my lap with his head on my arm
aww bless
Done. There is a pe 4 word that I had to monkey but otherwise ok grid. Enjoy! poof
clue the bo6? am I blind?
she had sheeps
like the nursery rhyme
nursey rhyme
GAH!!!!! wouldn't have thought that was a word. thanks cos...that was fireworks.
wtg!
how are you doing?
easy grid. 12 left
Yes...I asked for the one clue. Ready for a nice big one soon though. The smaller ones have the odd words!
i'm tired of the small ones. they irritate me. way too fast.
I agree! You have to pace yourself.
1 left now. been on for like 15 mins lol
which one?
the te 5/12.... got it tho. fireworks
wtg! See you tomorrow...have a good one!
ty you too :)
is the bo 6 really a word?
dictionary.com says bo6 means the same thing as peekaboo. Right. I have a bigger problem with em4/8.
clue for em 4/6?
There is no em 4/6. Em 4/8 is em + he puf** on his cigar
Thank you.
Any clues for the first po 4/6 and po 5/14?
Fish, just got them!
Arrrugh. Does anyone else wish that Babble had a fast forward button? I think tomorrows grid will be a huge one.
Red, I'll bet you it's another little one.
I hope so.
I have to work. and 12 hr shift and babble grid is not always a good combo.
fireworks....thanks
Red, you're a nurse, right?
Ga ga ooh la la, ro ma rum ma ma gah gah ooh la la

Ohhh...Thanks!

That's the gourd, as if anyone would know that. Plural it.
what is wrong with just calling it a gourd
Auctioning things Tim and I bought to open the antique store I'm not going ahead with...
I see. That has to be a rough time for you. ((hugs))

Actually, it's been a time of good memories...

Nothing here Mom. We're having a pretty mild winter. I'm hoping that will continue. It keeps my stress factor down.

if you have the first st 4/5 add the **ncil one to it

st 4/6 ends in the 2nd letter of the alphabet
then there will be enough for tomorrow and maybe into next week
heh, maybe being the operative word. ;)

I say maybe, because around here it wouldn't last two days
s + *** truck, used for a broken down car

bo 6/30 = little bo**** has lost her sheep
Blech...it looks like the Steelers are going to win this one.
thinking I am glad I don't like football
hello everyone :)
HI Cybernan
indeed, molly. blech.
theres nothing worse than a smug steelers fan. except perhaps a smug cowboys fan...
scroll down just a bit, Eva, I clued the 6's
thanks mom, i got em. :)
good deal
anything else?
the other 20 im missing? hehe
:-)
I am doing my 2 year pitch, I'll leave this up and you can holler if you need help
2 year pitch??
every 2 years, I go through my stuff and pitch what I haven't used
ahh. kinda like a good spring cleaning.
it is, and it is so refreshing
man. so disappointing. steelers are moving on. UGH.
i seriously HATE roethlisberger.
I'm thinking the Falcons are going all the way this year. They are hot.
can't believe that the shepherdess is actually a word!
Mom, I wish I were as organized as you.
isn't that something, Nan!
Oh Molly, I am attempting to get organized
i get into that mentality whenever i move. id rather throw things out than pack them up, take them somewhere else, unpack them, and find a place to put them.
but each time I get a handle on it, life gets in the way
I have issues with bo6 being a "real" word. Not as many issues as I have with em 4/8 though.
Eva, I hope you don't want to move often
The Salvation Army is my best friend when I move.
Goodwill is mine and our library
i have moved 3 times in the last 4 years. we are signing a new 1-year lease at this place, and hopefully after that we will be buying something + not moving for a while after that!
mom, im a goodwill fan too. salvation army gives money to anti-gay groups, and i have a problem with that.
Damn Eva. It's hardly worth unpacking when you move that much.
Our Salvation Army doesn't take donations here, except money
you will be in place for at least a year then
I didn't know that about The Salvation Army.
i agree molly. one of those moves was unplanned -- i had just moved in with chris + a few months later, the landlord decided to sell the house. less than 6 months and i was moving again!
That happened in the last two rentals I was in (landlord decided to sell). After the second time, I bought my condo.
*!* ta da *!*
Congratulations Cybernan!!!
Hooray for nan!!!
i am definitely hoping to buy something. its just a matter of having the money and finding a house we like in an area we want to live in. we are pretty picky, so we shall see.
off to mmake supper
!!!!!!!!!!!Nan!!!!!!!!!!!!
When we moved 2 years ago, the Commonwealth paid to have movers pack us and unpack us. What a blessing that was
We lost our house to a highway project.
If I'm not being too nosey Eva, how come you don't live in the house you own?
its all the way out in crofton. i work in DC and hubby works in bethesda. he really doesnt wanna move out to crofton, and frankly, i really love this area!
I don't blame you. I am not a "long commuter".
my commute is still an hour door-to-door. but its a much more pleasant hour than riding the green line. the people on the green line are... questionable.
could you sell the house in Crofton?
mom, yes, i could. but i rent it out and cover my expenses, so its not something i need to do yet. if we decide selling the house is something we need to do for a deposit on a house, then we will do that.
so that will be an option when it comes time to look for a house then
yup. not necessary, but an option!
good deal
If I can't be of any more help, I'll go get a bath and call it a night
enjoy, mom. gnite!
good night Eva, pleasant dreams
Good night Molly, where ever you are.
Night Mom

poem
be5.18?
po4.6 the second one anyone only two to go
sharons - be5/18 = biblical word for 'to procreate'.
po4/6 (2nd) one who writes rhyming stuff.
No! That's wrong! The po4/6 is what Victoria Beckham was once known as when the was in The Spice Girls.
Po** (not common or working class).
Rhymes with 'Oh my go**!'
tks jacula not getting the be 5
got it! firewirks thanks everyone
First book of the Bible.
y/w sharons.
I used to drive my parents half-mad reading out who be5/18 (past tense, which is not in the grid) to them.
Genesis almost got me sent to 'the children's home'. LOL
I guess everyone has finished the grid, so I'll go back off to bed now.
to5/12 and em5/24 if anyone can help please
to5 = to + 'take a leak/urinate'.
em5 = to design and arch, or maybe to give the archer his weapon.
*to design an arch, I meant.
Got them both...thanks Jacula
y/w, Goodnight!
I am done! I have fireworks! st6/24 was my last word
Oh well, nobody here to see my fireworks.Guess I'll go
Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

Trust me I thought of pulling the key off but not eating the crumb. Heaven knows what is under these keys
no canned air to blow it out?
