HI Scouser

*sends dog whisperer to jilli's friends house*

12:52 am

I so agree about dogs that jump. Bad for the legs.

Hi scouser -- haven't found the currency yet -- what does it start with?

12:53 am

fi

12:53 am

back again, lost internet connection for little over 1/2 hour

12:54 am

herin, I guess it's hard to train 5 at a time -- they're so enthusiastic.

12:55 am

Odd, flosey -- I didn't lose anything and we're on the same ISP

12:56 am

when I called, they hadn't yet heard, but stayed with me until they received the message

12:56 am

they said about 1000 homes were affected

Glad you are back Flosey

12:57 am

scouser -- I had the fi but thought it was a French son, lol.

12:57 am

glad I was spared the cut-off. Did they say why?

12:57 am

ty, it feels strange being without computer

Does anyone else have a problem when they enter a word and it doesn't take but you know that it is a word?

12:58 am

no jilli, they hadn't heard when I called, I didn't ask what happened

12:58 am

its vexing herin

12:59 am

12:59 am

oops, sorry

Ging it is. For example yesterday I put in Ends and then I looked later and it wasn't there

Jill my friend has a Merle x Merle Great Dane

1:00 am

i often wish this game were keyed to a different, and larger, dictionary!

1:01 am

Interesting hedgehog story, flosey.

1:01 am

thanks jilli, thought it might be a little different

1:01 am

ging, you're definitely not alone!

1:02 am

Hmm, merle x merle is unusual in Danes.

1:02 am

i had a friend who kept hedgehogs once, and they were not friendly lil things!

1:02 am

had difficulty getting the icon though, so many could not be used

Jill she is called Merle x Merle = mong.

She is a great dog just a bit special

1:03 am

herin...by 'special' do you mean neurotic?

This is she: http://tinyurl.com/4klj3nm

1:05 am

herin...does she have a big 'woof'

Ging by special I mean badly breed. Yes she does.

1:05 am

my sis had a dane once...just like marmaduke

awww.

brb

1:06 am

lovable dog, but it weighed 80 lbs and thought it should sit on your lap

1:13 am

Only 80 lbs?

1:14 am

it was the runt of the litter

I just had to go and cuddle my neighbours dog and give him some food.

1:15 am

1:15 am

wtg flo

1:16 am

yay flosey -- my mind has been wandering

My neighbours dog just gobble up the baby food I gave him

1:17 am

herin, your friend's dane sure is a merle. Looks a bit slobbery -- too much lip!

1:17 am

why baby food?

My friends Dane is a rescue. Too much skin.

1:17 am

ginge -- hubby and I used to breed and show Danes.

1:18 am

Good for your friend, rescuing a Dane. They are such dears.

Gin my neighbours dog has a nose tumor. He hasn't eaten much in the last couple of days. Just drinking. I feed him a pure natural baby food in a tube and he ate it all. Sadly it is time so they will take him for a run on the beach this weekend at their beach house and then put him to sleep.

1:19 am

that is so sad

1:19 am

Awww.

He is about 10 years old and a rescue. Great dog.

1:21 am

its so hard putting down our furry companions! I had to have my sheltie put down and it took me years to get over it!

Oh, I know only too well.

1:29 am

Gillian was good in the UK but in the USA nobody had heard of it. I got called Gideon, Julian, Gilliam (hard G) and was assigned to the boys' gym class at school at age 13 -- very embarrassing. So I became just Jill

1:31 am

Think so Jill?

1:35 am

1:36 am

Hello, ((Ruby))

How is your husband today??..did the nurse come round?

5:25 am

she hasn't been here yet and he is much worse. Trembling all over. It's very scary

5:25 am

and he adamantly refuses to go to the hospital

5:26 am

It must be very hard for you, Ruby being torn between his wishes for no one to help him and you wanting him better, hope the nurse gets there soon for you.

5:27 am

and maybe he'll listen to her.

5:28 am

I do hope so, maybe you could have a chat with her before she sees him and you could explain he is stubborn..and she might tell him to think of your feelings as well as his own..that might work.

5:30 am

fortunately, since she came here for 3 months to treat his dog bites, she knows him well. And I spoke with her on the phone yesterday

5:32 am

Thats a good start then at least..lets hope everything will turn out well.

5:32 am

thanks for your support, zzoozz!

5:34 am

You are more than welcome, Ruby, :-)

5:37 am

51 quick words and I had better go and check on the patient!

5:37 am

Ok bath water is ready, time for me to soak..take care, All, ((((Ruby))))

Hi Brooke. How much snow did you get?

6:21 am

How are you doing, lynxxx? Haven't spoken with you for awhile.

6:21 am

Hi Molly! Not sure how much snow... a few inches? How about you?

6:22 am

I'm very well Brookie, enjoying our mild summer. How are you and the kids?

6:22 am

6:22 am

st5 - past tense of a bee st...

6:22 am

had to try and peel my 10yr old out of the bed

6:22 am

Oh, WAY more than a few inches. You got lucky.

6:23 am

Mild summer sounds great. My little one is eating chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream for breakfast, for what it's worth. My older one is with his dad this morning but will be with me this afternoon/evening.

6:24 am

Sue, my older one (who's turning 9) is enjoys lots of sleep time too... can relate!

6:28 am

Thanks for the clues!

6:28 am

heya lynx, sue, broo

6:28 am

so bing says the translate from me to french is me

6:28 am

hi gort

6:28 am

Hi gort!

6:29 am

I think bing is wrong

6:29 am

miss piggy has the right version of me

6:29 am

hi Gort! are you dry?

6:29 am

French for me is the first three letters of an m word that means damp.

6:29 am

ty

6:29 am

got that, ty

6:30 am

now the other one pls

6:30 am

Bing is wrong about a LOT of things.

6:30 am

yes thanks lyn! incredibly, tsunami waters in Toowoomba subsided within hours. poor old brisbane is still squidgy tho

6:30 am

now swap the last letter for a consonant

6:30 am

nm, found it

6:30 am

ty lynx

6:31 am

Squidgy...great word. Glad to hear the flooding is subsiding.

6:31 am

I have li4,4,4 lo4,4,4,4,5,5 what am I missing

6:31 am

very happy for you Gort - what a horrid mess

6:31 am

Oh dear, li 4/4 is going to send a lot of people to the PB

6:31 am

yeah foul putrid mess

6:32 am

lo5.10

6:32 am

Lickety is there if anyone is in need by the way

6:32 am

cleaned up an asian food factory - stench of rancid tamarin paste can only be eclipsed by britney spears' fantasy ;0

6:32 am

lol gort

6:33 am

thanks for the lickety heads up lynx. i've never met that fella, but he's as dear to me as my granny

6:33 am

that lo5.10 is the second lo word

6:33 am

I want to bake Lickety a cake, I'm so happy that he's back.

6:34 am

Lickety is no granny figure I can assure you

6:35 am

yet he brings out the dewy-eyed cake-making urge within all of us

6:35 am

I think Gort was likening Granny affection, not Granny looks.

6:35 am

yes u r right molly

6:36 am

ok, all kids on the way to school

6:36 am

hi Infernal

6:36 am

heya herin

Gort is everyone OK?

6:37 am

yes thanks, all my people and associates are alive and well if a little soggy, muddy and pongy

O good

6:37 am

The lo 5/10 is a misspelling of a nickname for Luis.

I heard today about the levy tax not sure it is a good thing. I mean the stores jack the prices and the farmers get diddly

6:38 am

Agh, or Louis.

6:38 am

yeah no such thing as perfect justice this side of heaven, but i think the tax is an ok idea

6:39 am

lo5 actually slang for an army ranking

6:39 am

altho wouldn't it be nice if everyone just volunteered more dosh?

6:39 am

is it the one that rhymes with the rat word that you are talking about?

Gort I think with price rises that is hard. My b.f hasn't even seen a doc in I don't know how long (his medicard is expired) and he pays heinous amounts and never gets a tax return

6:40 am

I don't know about the rat word. It rhymes with Rock singer David's last name. Trif has a thing for him.

6:40 am

A polly on the radio today has been pushing for a 'disaster ' fund for 15 years...seems like a very reasonable thing to do and to be included in every Budget - we get enough of them

6:40 am

No Sue

Lynxx I think that would be a brilliant idea

6:42 am

u r right - it is hard to give enforced. fun to give by choice tho

I would dearly love the local councils down here to crack down on puppy farms then Animal lib wouldn't have to get volunteers to fork out donations to help the poor critters. It is so hard at the moment. The floods here and in Queensland and the wildlife it doesn't help when puppy farms do the wrong thing

6:43 am

o 4 crying out loud- just spent half hour looking for word i already had

6:44 am

lol

6:44 am

You are not alone Gort. I have done that.

6:45 am

that is it for me, fireworks in no time at all, and now homework

yah soo

Sue even

6:45 am

well done sue, cheerio

6:45 am

I truely love being with you all, ty for having and helping me

The other no5 rhymes with Dallas quaterback Tony's last name.

7:42 am

oh that's a big help LOL

7:43 am

Okay, didn't really want to use this clue, but rhymes with a nasty term for not heterosexaul.

7:43 am

Plural

7:44 am

tx (now you can virtually erase that)

7:44 am

:-D

Like this- Hit the Road Jack, and don't you come back no**'

7:45 am

And as I suspected, a Google search for "Dallas quarterback Tony" gives what I meant in the first search line.

7:45 am

love that song!

7:45 am

Yes Kap, but you know that someone would come back with "more" is not in the grid. : P

How bout Brookynese for "***** in War, ***** in Peace, ***** in the hearts of his countrymen"

8:32 am

glad you are better sprite

8:32 am

Hi Une

8:32 am

howdy, jmc

8:33 am

I can come help, JMC....as soon as I dig myself out!!!

8:33 am

i dont mind the snow if i dont have to drive :-(

8:33 am

I am glad you are better too sprite!

8:33 am

since Federer AND Nadal have been defeated at the Australian Open, I'm actually displaying the official theme icon today LOL

8:33 am

I know JMC. That is key.

8:33 am

i'll take the beach, thanks ;) used to live across the street from it. that was better.

8:33 am

I have the same with snow. Love it. Terra too, we get all frisky. But it sucks when you need to go somewhere.

8:34 am

I lived in Hawaii, sillygirl, so I can hear you on that one! But I love my snow!

8:34 am

we're having sunshine today for the first time in AGES!

8:34 am

Sun will be out very shortly here, thus I want to get it all down to blacktop to melt.

8:34 am

awwww Une it is so sweet :D Don't miss the little vids in my profile, btw. So cute.

8:34 am

i am alergic to sunshine so the beach does not have much appeal

8:34 am

i used to like snow. last year was the first winter we were back North, and i shoveled enuf to last a lifetime

8:34 am

hi silligirl

8:35 am

Oh JMC! How awful!

8:35 am

not a beach person either but after endless days of gloomy dark skies, that blue sky looks great!

8:35 am

lol last year put a lot of people off of liking snow

8:35 am

Sun is always good for the soul...even when it is cold!

8:35 am

in which degree, jmc? Staying in the shadow enough, or layers of sunblock and run for cover?

8:35 am

i break out in a rash every summer

8:36 am

rash from the heat or the sun products?

8:36 am

i can stay in the shadow up north here but in texas it was pure misery

8:37 am

rash from the sun car

8:37 am

nothing worse than rash AND a sunburn

8:37 am

well, aids AND a rubber allergy would be worse. But glad you are in the north now.

8:37 am

Ouch. If I am out too much I get a rash. But after living in Hawaii, I am fanatic about high SPF sunscreen, and now I don't seem to get the rash as much.

9:35 am

howdy teach

9:38 am

::is disgusted that the fed gov didnt close today after all the drama of yesterday:: is "working from home" in protest.

9:42 am

why would it close? what happened yesterday?

9:43 am

Really Eva. With all the people who abandoned their cars last night, you would think the Fed would get a clue.

9:43 am

well, granted, our snowfall is nothing compared to what you get up there, crossy, but we got like 9 inches in my area. the roads didnt get properly pre-treated because it started as more of a rain, and because people were all ON the roads getting home, the gridlock that ensued caused mass chaos. people who left work at 4-5 didnt get home until past midnight.

9:43 am

in response, we got a whopping 2-hour delay.

9:43 am

good grief...9 inches..call out the army looool

9:44 am

soryy..snort...

9:44 am

i know, i know. but in this area, they just dont handle it well. they dont budget for the supplies or labor.

9:44 am

but i can see where it might be a problem in some areas

9:45 am

major highways were a total parking lot and people have abandoned their cars left and right.

9:45 am

but hey, lets all go back to work!

9:45 am

the govt never closes,they have to keep grabbing that tax money lol

9:46 am

yeah. who cares about the safety and well-bring of their employees.

9:46 am

in our case 85% goes to winter road maintience lol

9:47 am

Yeah, well people were not snorting when major highways were closed and they couldn't get home.

9:47 am

we are lucky if we get plowed once. ecstatic if we get salted/sanded. but then, that melts the snow which ends up re-freezing into ice, and oops, no budget to take care of that!

9:47 am

happens all the time here,i cannot count the times i had to crash in a place out of town due to road closures

9:48 am

have no choice here,if you drive around the barriers you get fined and your insurance becomes invalid

9:48 am

roads werent "closed." they were just jam-paced full of drivers who couldnt get anywhere. people sat in their cars for hours.

9:48 am

The point is, it doesn't happen all the time here and people panic and freak out.

9:48 am

Nope. There were roads in Virginia that were closed.

9:49 am

i can see that oilly,i am not dancing on peoples mysery here..take a breath dear.one persons normal is chaos elsewhere

9:49 am

oh, i know some roads were closed. but im talking about the beltway, 66, GW parkway, etc. those were open, just useless.

9:49 am

I had the same back and forth with my husband until he moved down here.

9:50 am

Then he understood that Canadian rules don't apply here.

9:50 am

DOT told people to get off the roads so they could treat them, but people COULDNT get off the roads -- they couldnt drive an inch. fed gov shouldnt have sent people home early if the roads werent ready for them.

9:50 am

for instance i am sure an earthquake would have me pissing myself,but to locals in california they use it to stir the soup for lunch

9:52 am

sounds like bad planning all along,NEVER wait till the last minute to send staff home if things are deteriorating

9:52 am

I heard our Mr. 2Bit had to park a mile from his home and walk the rest of the way. Mrs. 2Bit met him half of that way in the 4WD.

9:52 am

i was up and dressed, ready to slip + slide my way to the Metro when hubby suggested i contact my manager (because as of a few days ago, i have a new manager) to see if i can work from home. technically we arent allowed to, but apparently everyone is today.

9:52 am

That's part of the problem here. People are such work freaks that they won't stay home.

9:53 am

i would have LOVED to have stayed home. but we arent allowed. :(

9:53 am

work is highly overrated and the person that dies with the most money does not win:)

9:53 am

And "letting people out early" yesterday just contributed to the problem.

9:53 am

good grief

9:53 am

evening all

9:54 am

howdy lshult

9:54 am

only 12 to go, but no sign of the 6 or 7!!??

9:54 am

i found out after id already gotten home that the early dismissal didnt apply to contractors. gotta say, though, im glad i left when i did. my commute home was eventless, even pleasant. people who left an hour or so later never got home.

9:54 am

my point exactly

9:55 am

anticipate,delegate and ,yes that job can wait till tomorrow,your life is not worth it

9:55 am

ahh, but the government doesnt believe that. get the job done, even if it costs your life.

9:55 am

to hell with that

9:55 am

no paycheque is worth my life

the 7 is the name of a Dustin Hoffman character

9:57 am

My kid's uncle lives in Kensington. They have had no power for ten hours and there are trees down all over town. But the Fed opened on time. Bad Form!!!

9:58 am

yes,sometimes we get outages and they are a pain,we were down for 3 days once,ice storm did a number on the lines

10:00 am

got the 7....thanks Jiv....so obvious now!!!!!

10:00 am

several years ago i picked up a nice kerosine heater and have a few oil lamps around for just such times

10:00 am

still need that 6!!!!???

10:01 am

cause when it is minus 20 out and the power dies,things become an ice box fast lol

10:02 am

our power went out briefly a few times, but we were lucky + it stayed on. most of our friends down the road have been without power. strangely, one friend found an outlet that works in her otherwise powerless apartment.

10:02 am

mo 6 - plural - decorating themes

10:02 am

really? that is cool eva,must of had a different feed for that one

10:02 am

hints for the lower S or the E?

10:03 am

thanks wv.....just 8 to finish

10:03 am

its strange, crossy. everyone in their entire complex is without power, but she has one working outlet.

10:03 am

that is bizzare,and she sould get a red outlet cover for it

10:03 am

very strange,but handy

10:04 am

can anyone clue the fl5?\

10:05 am

top fl*** is a brand of golf ball

10:05 am

It's the past tense of what birds do, only spelled differently.

10:05 am

fl 5 - builds off of the fl 4

10:05 am

thankfully, they have gas ranges, so at least they can cook. and perishable foods are being left outside. hopefully animals/thieves dont take it. we have offered warm housing, they just have to GET here.

10:06 am

Also Eva, boy's uncle says Connecticut Avenue is impassable. But the Feds opened on time. HUH???

10:07 am

yeah, see, i was actually SUPPSED to drive in today for a change (hair appt this evening, which i have since rescheduled) and Conn Ave is how i would get to work!

10:07 am

i use double walled fridge/freezer. if you do not open the freezer much,things will keep for up to 48 hours,or like you say,just toss it outside

10:07 am

we have plenty of leftover Picadillo and homemade minestrone to share. twas the perfect meal for a cold snowy evening!

10:08 am

very good turnout for a first attempt. next time, more meat + less pasta. then it will be perfect! :)

10:09 am

what is picadillo?

10:09 am

very nice;) this winter we have become experts at cocooning though the last 2 weeks have not been bad,a few days of minus 30 and now it is mild at minus 8 and barely 8 inches of snow all week

10:09 am

its ground beef with black beans, bell pepper, diced tomatoes, and (surprisingly) golden raisins. quite tasty + yummy served over rice!

10:10 am

minus 30? *DIES*

10:10 am

mmm interesting..crossy takes notes...

10:10 am

sounds wonderful for a cold snowy evening

10:10 am

lol,for 3 days eva..i cannot tell you how many cars i had to boost

10:10 am

i thought it would be questionable at best, since raisins in ground beef sounds quite strange, but i really like it!

10:11 am

could also serve it on a bun sloppy-joe style or ladel over a salad or cornbread, kinda like chili.

10:11 am

crossy would kill for aa loaf of good home made cornbread

10:12 am

m's finished.....6 to go.......

10:12 am

we had some cornbread on the side. :) sadly, twas from a box. the rest was homemade, but ive never done cornbread from scratch...

10:12 am

I need a better recipe for cornbread. Mine comes out too dry.

10:12 am

clue for th e?plz

10:13 am

thats what we get here molly,dry,hard pathetic pre packaged corn bread,not worty to slop up gravy

10:13 am

The e is a fuel, I think.

10:14 am

clue the st5,14 and no5,12 please?

10:14 am

i sent hubby out for bread to go with the minestrone last night. requested french or sourdough. he came back with ciabatta, which ended up being just perfect!

10:14 am

a favorite meal around here is soup beans and cornbread - and the cornbread is always good = have a mill about an hour south of here that still grinds cornmeal - you can buy it by the bag there and some stores around here carry it also

10:14 am

crossy loves all ethn ic breads;)

10:15 am

crossy loves the bakery too much actually lol

10:15 am

no + Miss Piggy's favorite reply: ***?

10:16 am

mm fresh ground cornmeal..perfect

10:16 am

thanks erda got it

10:16 am

10:17 am

had to think back to the muppet show for a bit there lol

10:17 am

Eva- you've se** this word before

10:17 am

unique to around here are pepperoni rolls - supposedly developed as a meal for underground coal miners. Had never seen or heard of them until we moved here. You can get them in all sizes. Think of a dinner roll with slices / sticks of pepperoni baked inside. Sometimes also put cheese inside with it.

10:18 am

you bake the rolls

10:18 am

teach my da used to bake bread with meat and cheese in it for when we were in the bush

10:18 am

st5/14=trread down on ...hard

10:19 am

usually beef

10:19 am

probably just the same idea

10:19 am

10:20 am

oh jeez. thanks scribe!

10:20 am

thank ishult....fireworks!

10:20 am

10:20 am

en4/4= en + searching hi & **

10:21 am

Cross, as I used to tell my husband, you have to be careful with that "in the bush" Canadian thing. Us Yanks mistake it for something...um...something else.

10:21 am

used to have loaves of that and a huge pot of soup at the camp going all the time,when walking the cold damp november forest all day,you get ravenous

10:21 am

3 left...an L, an O & an S???????

10:21 am

lol,i leave it to the yanks to figue me out lol

10:22 am

no tomato sauce - and most just have the pepperoni not even the cheese - but yes, they probably all developed from wanting to have something portable to eat with the tastes people like

10:22 am

en=en+he is an **d man.

10:22 am

lomo

10:23 am

lomos

10:23 am

oops

10:24 am

Teach, that sounds like my stromboli. I roll out a loaf of bread dough, put slices of ham, pepperoni and white American cheese on it, and then roll it up. Bake until golden brown and cut into pinwheel slices. This is one of my kids favorite things that I make.

10:25 am

mm sound s good molly

10:25 am

i made calzones once. dough from scratch too! sauce was on the side, not inside.

10:25 am

hmmm... i need one more S5 to finish... so far have footst*** and st*** by a bee. anyone got the other?

10:26 am

i was about to say,i find calzones too drippy

10:26 am

st5/14=tread down on ...hard

10:26 am

st5/14 to beat grapes to make wine is to st5 on them.

10:27 am

i've made calzones too although it frustrates me how hard it is to keep the dough from being too thick.

10:27 am

thanks lshult

10:27 am

I am not a big fan of red sauce. I use it sparingly.

10:27 am

and mixi

10:27 am

Hursh, if you use the frozen bread dough, they turn out pretty good.

10:27 am

ugh, frozen bread dough, i would never!

10:28 am

no offense. :(

10:28 am

too much red sauce hurts crossy,s tummy:((

10:28 am

have oi4/a, on4/4, & oo4/4.....hwat's the last o?

10:29 am

pepperoni rolls are usually the size / shape of a long hot dog / hoagie bun or a miniature bun

10:29 am

on4,5

10:29 am

Well then, roll out the freshly made bread dough thinner I guess.

10:30 am

got it, ty

10:30 am

they sell them everywhere - bakeries, stores, counter in gas stations - serve them at concesson stands and for lunch at schools

10:30 am

With it just being two of us, I make bread dough in bulk and freeze it. I have found people have problems using frozen food. I'm not sure why.

10:31 am

last l.........have 3x li4, 4x lo4 & 2x lo5.........what's the last l?

10:31 am

i don't mind using frozen food that i've made and frozen myself... i just find things yummier when i make them myself than when i buy them, usually.

10:32 am

here we live by the frozen veggie in the winter..ill be damned if i am going to pay $1.75 for a can of peas

10:32 am

there are 5 lo4

10:32 am

oh frozen veggies are much better than canned, for sure.

10:33 am

i'm just talking about prepared foods. usually they have too much sodium anyway.

10:33 am

i have 4 lo4 and 3 lo 5

10:33 am

10:47 am

howdy min and welcome to the grid;)

10:47 am

anyone have the fl5?

10:47 am

oh, nm

10:48 am

top fl*** is a brand of gold ball

10:48 am

An fl 5/16 is f plus li 4/4 word HelenaB and hello there!

10:48 am

When I came onto this websi 4/4, I was st 4/5ned at how small the grid was.Didn't need to shake my fi 4/7 at my monkeys. I did not feel the need to sl 4/4 their throats. I also didn't feel the need to st5/14 on their heads. Hate to to4/4 my own horn, but I really didn't need the monkeys at all. I gl 4/7med onto Lickety's li 4/4 and finished mo4/5 of the grid.I'm saving my last word for later. Now here's a story of clues for you to si4/7 through. The doom and gl5/16 of this Winter is getting to me. I do know that another snow storm lo 4/5s ahead.We already have too much mo 5/12 snow on the ground. I can't even see one spot of so 4/4 on the ground.I even saw a mo5/14 in my house one day who was sick of the snow too. When I went outside 1 day,the cold weather st5/16 my eyes. My to 4/4 are frozen by the time I am done walking the dog. I must admit though,when the mo4/5 shines on the snow, it is pretty. My te4/4age nephew loves Winter & skiing in the snow. However, I know that I am not alo4/4 in my feelings about Winter.Husband hates Winter too. After every storm, he has to to 4/4 in the snow with the snow blower. Takes more than just a little to 4/4 to get rid of the snow.However,my hatred of Winter is a mo 4/5 point. Spring isn't coming anytime so4/4. When spring does get here though, that will li 4/7 my spirits. Hubby is being a lo5/12 and wants to use the computer. He drives me nu 4/5 with his addiction to Farmville. I hope you've se4/4 some more words with this story, or at least the easy on 4/4. Be back later.

10:52 am

Nice, min

10:53 am

Thanks

10:53 am

ty for the great clues story min;)

10:54 am

yw

11:01 am

Nice work Min. By the way, I am thinking of opening a Rehab for those addicted to Farmville. That seems to be a problem in many households these days. For the life of me, I can't understand why.

11:02 am

Well,I am addicted to Babble,so I can't really complain

11:04 am

can anyone clue the first mo4/5?

11:04 am

The first mo4/5 word is m plus cooking agent HelenaB

11:06 am

m + what the tinman needed

11:07 am

MollyL gave a much better clue.Forget the one I gave

11:07 am

min,there is no addiction to babble when you are in here with like-minded babble fiends.it becomes just a meeting to discuss words;)

11:08 am

ahhh, thanks for the clues

11:08 am

Hi babble friends/fiends! what if you are addicted to both Babble and FarmVille?

11:09 am

addiction is such a harsh word,i like to think of it as a hobby:)

11:10 am

can anyone clue the first lo5/10?

11:10 am

I don't think hubby would see it that way,but thanks.

11:10 am

hehe, me too, crossy

11:10 am

Hello beachboggle! How are you? Welcome to the grid

11:10 am

I am fine, Min... you?

11:11 am

lo5/10 word sounds like a man's name(Lo*** Anderson)

11:11 am

Hello BadgerHorn!How are you doing?Welcome to grid

11:11 am

my mrs used to wonder about the amount of time i was on babble,so i just got her a subscrip and now there is no more addiction;)

11:12 am

I am well beachboggle. I have no work today, so that is good.What isn't good is that we have used up all of our snow days already.Glad you are well beachboggle.

11:15 am

If I got husband a subscription he would get mad and say it was a waste of money because he would NEVER go near Babble with a ten foot pole.Oh well,whatever

11:16 am

or get him a sub to his fav game,then he cannot bitch about your game time

11:18 am

life is too short for that crap.i am on babble and the mrs is currently having fun on her subeta site;)

11:18 am

Another part of the problem is that we share 1 laptop

11:18 am

we have our desks near each other to facillatate sudden urges for a kiss or hug:)

11:18 am

ahh i see..

11:18 am

LOL! That's cute crosshair.

7:14 pm

Hi Nef, Hi JMC.

7:16 pm

7:16 pm

i got some really slolum action in driving in my saab

7:16 pm

Well that's great about the city. But it's the suburbs that people have to drive through to get there that are combat zones.

7:17 pm

yeah i heard the burbs were in tough shape

7:17 pm

I didn't realize that you work on the side, jmc.

7:17 pm

my poor sister barely got home last night because of all the downed lines and trees

7:18 pm

her block was nearly surrounded

7:19 pm

7:20 pm

One of our volunteers had that happen a couple of weeks ago with a bad storm here, No power for almost 2 days and no one able to get in or out of the area because of the downed wires and trees

7:20 pm

7:31 pm

Hello Babblers

7:32 pm

hi wht. How are you tonight?

7:33 pm

hi wht

7:33 pm

Doing fine. It took me longer to dig out than to do the grid.

7:33 pm

i bet

7:34 pm

We had 10 inches or so. It took about 3 hours to dig out our driveway and our neighbors.

7:35 pm

we had 4 really wet inches power lines and trees are everywhere

7:35 pm

nice of you to do your neighbors. Our last heavy snowstorm *we* waited to be rescued.

7:35 pm

But if we keep getting snow like this, I don't know where we will put it.

7:35 pm

Our neighbor is 92 and lives alone. There is no way he could dig out.

7:37 pm

still nice of you to do it

7:37 pm

About 8 years ago he offered to buy us a snow blower if we would keep his driveway clear. We insisted on paying half, and next thing we knew we had 6 families going in on the snowblower.

7:37 pm

thanks for helping him, wht. At the time; my dtr. had had carpel tunnel surgery 3 days before, DH was having some balance problems and I've had a bum hip for 6 months.

7:37 pm

very cool and green too

7:37 pm

NICE!

7:38 pm

7:39 pm

7:40 pm

7:40 pm

7:40 pm

7 left

7:40 pm

But now the snow pile at the end of our driveway is maybe 10 feet tall and the snowblower can barely get the snow over it.

7:40 pm

it seems as though everyone here has their own humungous 24 inch gas-guzzling snow blower. We don't for 2 reasons: the environment; and I can't start or control the darn things

7:40 pm

shovellng was horrible today - have to throw the snow over these 9 foot towers

7:40 pm

you may want to take a bucket away every time you pass!

7:40 pm

no + 1 of the 3 stooges + 3rd vowel

7:40 pm
