We like it here, but Addison and his wife missed a more active night life -- previously lived in Montana

1:25 am

Oh yes, Kalea, come on over!

2:05 am

good for you

2:05 am

how I envied one of my girlfriends who could play with the little critters

2:05 am

I remember her catching a rather large one and she was going to skin it to make a belt!! Don't know if she did

2:06 am

i heard jane goodall speak once.........she said she owed her success to her mom, who let her bring all the critters home she wanted

2:06 am

I think my mother instilled the fear in me before I had ever even seen one

2:07 am

we had a very religious neighbour and he actually prayed that God would make them go away from where we lived!!

2:07 am

2:17 am

hello Ishult

Hello, everyone

2:40 am

Hmmm, killed the chat -- yet again.

2:48 am

curiosity killed the cat and Christine killed the chat? *grins* Hi Christine, hi all others.

2:53 am

what's with the tiny grids again! Building up to a giant one on a day we don't have time to spare?

2:54 am

hi lady :)

Morning all. How many words today please

HI SPRITE> MISSED YOU.

HI Sandra

2:54 am

only 62, sandra, good morning

2:54 am

missed you too, hun. How have you been?

Thanks

2:55 am

gotta love Babble! How knew, a word like the J even existed :D Totally makes my day.

GOod tired but good

2:56 am

*sends lady a busload of energy*

Nah. I am ok. My mum asked me how much I had to drink as I was all scattered on the phone

2:57 am

*Who* knew, not how.

There is a J word interesting

2:58 am

aw poor lady. I bet she knows you are a bit scattered sometimes, without any alcohol involved. Yes, great word. Learned something new today.

I just looked that word up.

I am tired as I was in the car with a learner and 2 others for 4 hours. That is a tad stressful. Kids a good driver he just needs to learn to concentrate

Have you the stats for the j word please

JN 5

3:01 am

just too much stimuli and input, I know! A car is too small for that many people, at least it is for people who are sensitive to stimuli.

Got it thanks

3:01 am

it means: knowledge acquired through meditation and study as a means of reaching Brahman.

If I didn't feel safe I wouldn't have gotten in the care

3:03 am

yep, it is not the safety. Just the stress of being in a car with 4 people for a long time. I get stressed too in situations like that.

I am fine with having the radio on loud and a window open

3:08 am

that is pretty good. I need silence or I go bananas. Except when I am alone in the car. Then I love to play music and sing along.

3:09 am

jn5 - what an odd word --- yes, we have no ???

3:10 am

love the word. Not just a new word, but a consonant combination I didn't see before at the beginning of a word.

I am going to go. Ihave an attention span of a fish

3:16 am

*hugs the lady* All the best, hun.

HUGSSSSSSSSSSs. Plus Beetle Juice is on too

3:18 am

oh cool :D

3:20 am

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Challenger disaster.

3:21 am

wow. That long ago already!

3:25 am

I worked at a bank at that time. With very very serious people. And one of them cracked a black joke about the disaster. It was totally unexpected.

3:34 am

goooooooood morning fellow babblers xxx

3:34 am

hiya frogface

3:35 am

3:36 am

3:38 am

3:39 am

I need sleep more th4 I do coffee... only slept 2 hours last night. Might sneak back in for an hour or two when this grid is done.

3:40 am

3:40 am

and thanks for the th word lmao

3:40 am

:D

3:42 am

3:42 am

3:43 am

4:20 am

morning all

4:54 am

good morning. Is anybody still here?

4:56 am

I'm here!

4:56 am

How are you, Ruby?

4:56 am

I'm sorta here!

4:56 am

Hi Champ, sorta! :-)

4:56 am

Can't believe this grid, and can't believe we had two little ones in a row!

4:57 am

very tired, brookie. Husband is sick, very, and I'm not sure with what. I've been whining about it since Tuesday

4:57 am

At least the little grids are during the work week, so we have more time for the larger grids on the weekends.

4:57 am

hello champ

4:57 am

and how are you Brookie?

4:58 am

hi ruby1

4:58 am

!

4:58 am

What are his symptoms, Ruby? (Not that I'm a doctor or anything.)

4:59 am

So sorry Ruby! Nothing worse than a sick hubby

4:59 am

And to answer your question, things are very good on this end.

4:59 am

I'm glad to hear that

4:59 am

tell me some of the good stuff!

5:00 am

I could use some good news!!!!

5:00 am

tell me, too! day is not starting well...

5:01 am

New job with significantly more $$ and a really cool boss, children are doing well, just got a bunch of free new clothes from someone who needed to give them away, and won a free gift certificate to a cool restaurant yesterday.

5:01 am

Awesome!!! Go with it...you're on a roll!

5:01 am

I'm going to stay on this roll as long as possible!

5:01 am

I think he's had a small stroke, is having trouble walking, intermittently too hot and too cold, pressure is up and down, voice is different, mouth looks funny, and his doctor, who came on Tuesday said that it didn't look like anything serious!

5:02 am

Smart!

5:02 am

that is all wonderful, brookie!!!!

5:03 am

Can you switch to a different doctor? That's unbelievable that a doctor would say that.

5:03 am

ruby, does the doc think it was a stroke?

5:03 am

he wouldn't say

5:03 am

lovely. so helpful...NOT

5:04 am

he has a long-staning probablem with blocked arteries (3 stents) and when his pressure gets too low, that is what I think of, not enough blood to the brain

5:04 am

standing*

5:04 am

makes sense. people have small strokes and never even know it.

5:04 am

and, of course, all of this in French AND I'm female!

5:04 am

At this point, assuming it's a small stroke, what can be done?

5:05 am

the doctor said, helpfully of course, he is, after all, old! Oh, thank you, I hadn't noticed

5:05 am

I don't think anything

5:05 am

I've heard other people complain about doctors who say the same thing, as if someone who is "old" shouldn't be worried about anymore. It's sad.

5:06 am

We all deserve the best care and attention.

5:06 am

More like "they're old, so things will go wrong, and there's not much to do about it."

5:06 am

at least he makes housecalls!

5:07 am

it's a crappy attitude when they're speaking about someone you love!

5:07 am

that's true ruby. has to be easier on you!

5:08 am

I was ready to call emergency the other night, because I obviously can't lift him. But now I arranged with a friend who said she and her husband would come, even in the middle of the night, if he just falls (obviously not if it's another heart attack!)

5:09 am

husband made me promise not to call emergency

5:09 am

That's a very good friend you have.

5:09 am

my mom did that once, rather than call me, and I live 5 minutes away!

5:09 am

how old is your dad, champ?

5:09 am

(((((Ruby)))))

5:09 am

{{molly}}

5:10 am

Dad passed last year, he was 84. But he had a rare autoimmune disease.

5:10 am

((molly)) ((ruby)) ((champ)) :-)

5:10 am

Prayers out for you and your husband Ruby.

5:10 am

it is nice to have such a happy brook amongst us! raises the collectrive mood

5:11 am

Morning Champ and Brooke.

5:11 am

Trying to spread the cheer.

5:11 am

thank you, molly, need all the prayers we can amass (ruru pun....lol)

5:11 am

Yes! Brook continues her roll! Morning Molly.

5:11 am

Official morning to Molly too.

5:11 am

I need to get out the door...will bbl. Take care all!

5:11 am

bye champ, see you later

5:11 am

Bye Champ!

5:12 am

this may be a tiny grid but it's hard!

5:13 am

I'd love to get to halfway through the grid before 6:30 a.m., which is when I need to start getting ready for work.

5:13 am

Hi people :-) Rubes, sorry to hear theres no improvement :-(. Brookie, any chance I could rub off you, to share the good-luck roll?, and Moll - yet another classic joke! Many thanks!!

5:13 am

It's official... chog is not a word.

5:14 am

Hi Soodle! I think I owe you lots of money anyway, so how about if we barter good luck instead?

5:14 am

Morning Soodle. I'm getting those jokes from a friend of my niece, who lives on the auld sod with you.

5:15 am

Yay Brookie!!!! And with your good luck, I will win the lottery, and your debts (to me) will be written off!

5:15 am

{{soodle}} thank you but could you send me molly's joke, I could use a laugh (or even a small smil!) Saw the "dog lawyer" this AM, alone, natch, a the reason for the delay is that the judge hasn't signed the papers!

5:16 am

Where does she live, Molly?

5:16 am

it's only 6 months since the attack....

5:17 am

help with j pls

5:17 am

Three men married wives from different countries. The first man married a woman from China . He told her that she was to do their dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away. The second man married a woman from Italy . He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table. The third man married a girl from Ireland . He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. The first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher............. Don’t mess with Irish women!!!!!!!

5:17 am

Ok.I have found 8 words ( 1 w/the help of the chog ) and I'm stymied. I think I'll get a cup of coffee and try again.

5:25 am

5:26 am

I do, louuol!

5:28 am

Ruby, glad the joke gave you a smile. A jn word??? Gads.

5:28 am

Theres a great clue in the chog, Moll....

5:28 am

it was the first word I found, reading the chog when I came on

5:29 am

and, of course, I tried "chog" as I keep hoping it will be added to the enable lexicon

5:29 am

No, I have the word, just GADS to the beginning.

5:29 am

I say if chog isn't in the new Babble, we all form a peaceful protest. : D

5:30 am

lie down on our keyboards?

5:30 am

need 2nd column o and lower a for nbt

5:31 am

I tried naphta, but it needs another h, woe is me.

5:32 am

opah

5:32 am

5:32 am

hows that for a clue, sorry!

5:32 am

Oh I guess that's easier

5:32 am

5:55 am

th 4/5 should put plenty of people in the PB. *Puts brownies and cookies in the PB*

6:20 am

almost worth typing it for cookies

6:33 am

How can there be a word staring with J?

6:35 am

I just got it. The combination of those two consonants has to be the weirdest thing in the (English?) language.

jn

jn5/20

How do you pronounce it?

rhymes with the long yellow fruit

I know. How do you pronounce the jn? Is the j silent?

no

This grid is...er...interesting.

Morning, I have just unsuccessfully entered 10 words that do not exist!

thanks for the Jn word Jean!

6:45 am

Good morning Friends!

6:46 am

6:51 am

Happy Friday, Babblers

6:51 am

It's another lovely day in the winter wonderland

6:52 am

jn 5/20

6:52 am

hi bichon...hope I can get my car out today

6:53 am

jn5/20 is not in the dictionary!

6:53 am

it's tough manoeuvering a car out of the garage into an extremely narrow street

jn has something to do with meditation

it's in scrabble dictionary

6:54 am

Hi Jean

6:54 am

6:55 am

please share red

6:56 am

ty Annie

6:56 am

TY!

I put an offer on a short sale townhome that I really love and it was accepted less than 24 hours later. Usually they take months and often fall through. I am very excited.

6:56 am

got the ch7, what's the other 7?

and a little overwhelmed. I saw the home and bought it within 12 hours.

6:56 am

red, didn't you just buy a place in FL or are you renting?

6:56 am

yay.. happy for you, red!

6:57 am

Wow Red! Congratulations!

I had been renting the enitre time I was in Fl, saving. I sold my NC home in 2009 thank goodness before the market really crashed.

THings are really not good in the real estate market now, so I took advantage.

6:57 am

I don't get the ch 7, my head is clogged with snow

6:58 am

red, good luck...so happy for you

6:58 am

Graham ch7 was one of the Monty Pythons

6:58 am

ch7----young man and grown boy

thanks Annie, it is a very small townhome, so perfect for me, and as I grow older, it will be nice because the HOA does all the exterior maintanence...

6:58 am

bichon, it starts with ch** stick, like you put on your lips and ends with a grown male

6:59 am

red, just reading back - congratulations!!!!

thanks trif, I am a little bewildered and excited at the same time. ANd I feel ok because apparenlty this woman owned the home as a rental, not a primary so she wasnt evicted or anything.

7:00 am

very good red. You'll like living in your own home again

7:00 am

tyvm Annie, got it

7:00 am

oh red, she just probably moved up north so she could spend more time shoveling snow and dealing with ice dams....don't ya know, people do that ALL the time!

7:00 am

LOL

yes, the community is nice too. running trails on the lake...

7:01 am

youre welcome, bichon

indeed trif!!!! lololol

thanks for listening... I could go on but i shall not!

7:03 am

i dream of retiring to the little island where I used to do mission work, but oh, it is so far away....could do the snowbird thing, I guess....

7:03 am

I am happy to hear your good news, red, and invite you to gush all you want

7:03 am

red, please gush...love good news

I just am pleased that it is in excellent condition with all these upgrades like granite and tile floors!

7:04 am

if you could gush and give a clue for the g I would be even happier....

tile with a golden retriever is like heaven to clean after carpet!!!!!

I have no G to help with...

I asked if it was because they found the topic really interesting, and he answered "God no! We just wanted to be able to enter "HAWT dam!" I laughed for about five minutes

8:19 am

8:19 am

crossy hates the galloping majors;(

8:20 am

I don't have the GI virus fortunately, but I have been seeing kids in the ofc with it and I do not want that virus.

8:20 am

i haven't squirted in about 3 hours so i'm hoping that's over

8:20 am

I should feel better in a few hrs and be ready to XC-ski with a friend.

8:20 am

our hospital is shut down atm scrabby ronovirus i think

8:21 am

everything is on redirect

8:21 am

Rotavirus is what the little kids get around this time. Norovirus is common on cruises.

8:21 am

one of those 2 anyways

8:21 am

I must be on my way...anyone like a clue before I leave?

8:21 am

but we now have to use a hospital in a town an hour away

8:22 am

No, thanks, Annie. Enjoy your day.

8:22 am

8:22 am

Annie, fireworks?

8:22 am

no thanks Annie, be safe out there :)

8:22 am

Have a good day ((Annie))

8:22 am

Everyone feel good today...bye dear babblers

8:22 am

mom your icon pic just brought tears to my eyes

8:23 am

The flu shot has KILLED, INACTIVATED virus so you cannot catch flu from the shot. And flu virus does not cause gastroenteritis. Some person shared a nasty GI virus with you, monkey.

8:23 am

oh Lil, wipes tears away with puff plus tissure

8:23 am

tissue*

8:23 am

everyone make sure you have that wonderful jn word jn5= jn+ womans name

8:23 am

scwabbler we were told our flu nasal shot was LIVE virus

8:24 am

:)

8:24 am

time to scoot. ((Hugs)) to all of you.

8:24 am

Nasal vaccine is live but flu virus is a respiratory virus not GI.

8:24 am

Bye Mom

8:24 am

byeeeeeeee mom

8:25 am

bye Scrabbler, have a good day

8:25 am

ty scrabbs! we have more elderly people suffering in this building because of their belief that the flu shot will actually give them the flu,it is no needless!

8:25 am

Flu illness = cough, body aches, headache + fever.

8:25 am

((Monkey)) take care of yourself. Oh, I started a new game with you, Shelly and Ann

8:25 am

Yep, so many myths are out there.

8:26 am

too many people avoid the shot because of this misguided thinking

8:26 am

whatever! I'm going with actual live proof, which is half the people at my work got sick after the flu shot

8:26 am

i 've NEVER had a flu shot before this year, and this is the first time I have ever gotten sick during flu season

8:28 am

crossy taps foot at lilm...

8:28 am

The GI viruses are in full force during the winter too.

8:28 am

i am first in line for a flu sot..arm out and leg up as it were lol

8:28 am

shot

8:29 am

On Monday I wished I had gotten the flu vaccine (have never gotten it before), have been sick for 8 days and was on the verge of going to the hospital

8:30 am

:((

8:30 am

Sooo, next season I will be in line :)

8:30 am

Aw, ((SS)). Yep, it wipes people out. Acute phase lasts 7-10 days and it will take a few wks to fully recover.

8:30 am

hello all - is there a list somewhere?

8:34 am

morning everyone! does anyone have a clue for the lone d in the middle column and the j in the last column please?

8:35 am

Wow Lil. Half the people at your work got sick after getting the flu shot. That would definitely be "living proof" as you said.

8:35 am

dy4/8 = a pair

8:35 am

evidently i'm just delusional, MollyL

8:36 am

j + monkeys like b*****s (yellow fruit)

8:36 am

8:38 am

halfway, NBT and NBS - must be time for breakfast

8:40 am

No Lil, you are not delusional. And your thoughts are not misguided either. We all get to make our own choices and have our own thoughts about whether or not flu shot are beneficial.

8:41 am

na4/4 please...the FIRST one please?

haha...feels like that here crossy but, compared to last year this is mild

10:21 am

OH NO i woke up yesterday and saw my shadow !!

10:22 am

crossy loves funner wordses

was playing wordsplay yesterday, and learned the word hanap. this game won't take it, though, grrrrrrrrrrrr

10:25 am

I have found that a lot... one game will take things (like "lite") that another won't

10 to go, really stuck.

i have a cheat sheet for this game, that i started for bookworm, where i list weird words, and if this game (or wordsplay) takes 'em or not

as for example, nilgai (!)

this game will not take nole but wordsplay will. grrrrrr

well, i think i'm ready to take a break. BBL buddies

Mother has fallen into the grid, methinks. I am down to 8. getting rather tired, too.

ick. the lifetime channel is going to air a show about having babies... *sigh* I just want to forget the whole thing!

1:55 pm

1:56 pm

I am down to 19 and think it is nearly lunch time. I shall visit later.

1:56 pm

2:20 pm

didi you get lost monkeying the jn?

Helooooooo...

Hi everyone. or just Kaplan?

Or No one?

What do you mean "JUST Kaplan?"

LOL...

Only Kaplan, Kaplan alone, no other babblers around...thats all...touchy!

We all know Kaplan the Magne is extra special!

I think people past out looking for the jn word

Passed out.

Passed out.

Ihave 16 left...

2:40 pm

No, I'm here. Coffee is cooling and firewoks are firing.

i"m NOT TOUCHY

2:40 pm

the jn is finished off with a grandmotherly name.

8 left but I don't believe any of them are real words

2:41 pm

Very obscure spellings.

2:42 pm

Do you use the resources box? Find words by number of letters alphbetically.

Nah.

Nah.

Lately I just use the tile stats.

2:43 pm

When lickity was down, the tile stats were very handy.

2:44 pm

Well, redheaded turtle, if you don't need clues, I'll poof off.

Careful of that PB stid...

Oh I am good. I have no idea what I need, some of the t and P and c's mostly.

2:46 pm

My husband says if I see a cabana boy with a down-filled vest, it's him. This season the pb is more like the Winter X Games.

I am still all in a muddle. I feel as if I accidently bought a house.

what?

I hate Ys.

2:47 pm

Did you buy a house? By accident? That would be very forgetful.

2:47 pm

No y beginning words in this grid. wa, we, and wh.

I looked at a short sale on Weds. Love it. Put in a semi lowball offer, expecting the bank to bargain around with me. They accepted it and it went under contract and my home loan approved, all within about 20 hours.

So I feel lucky surprised and a little stressed.

2:48 pm

Oh my gosh. What an amazing turn of events for you as a house buyer!

it is very strange. I still need to have home inspections, and such.

WOW!

2:49 pm

Will you continue with the purchase or do you want to reconsider?

but the home is in very good condition, and really the right size for me. and in a great very secure neighbourhood.

No no I want the place.

2:49 pm

clue for the ty 6/7? please

2:50 pm

Well, good for you. Do you need help moving, painting, gardening? It's about time for a working vacation for me.

2:50 pm

clue for the j please?

2:51 pm

ty has to do with the covering in the ear or on very large drums. Both ty 6 and 7 play off of each other. The last ty is a typing error.

LOL, there is almost no garden, thank goodness, the exterior is taken care of entirely by the HOA, and I hope the Fire Dept guys I work with will move me, but...it does have a spare Bedroom, so just feel free to visit!!!

omg there is a j word?

2:51 pm

j + one name for grandmother

2:51 pm

Yup!

2:51 pm

j clue is jn and 3 letter girl's name.

J plus you grandma, rhymes with a yellow fruit.

2:51 pm

ty stidg, got it

2:51 pm

Ty sooo much!

what the hellis THAT? :/

apparently it is some sort of word for a type of meditation?

2:52 pm

Well, sounds like an ideal home for you. We will wait to visit then until you are settled and filled the extra bedroom with all of the things you don't want to unpack now. We'll stay in a hotel.

2:52 pm

yw y'all.

2:53 pm

Who has time to meditate? You're buying a house. This is no time for stress-free living!

red, twas only yesterday it seems, you were a globetrotting nomad...

No way! I have a garage to put junk into now! One goal I have is to have my sisters family visit and enjoy Disney before the boys get too old to find it fun.

I know, but I LOVE Florida. I have not left for 3 years. The housing market for someone like me is a bit too attractive.

2:54 pm

TO, shall we plan to perch close to redturtle head's new dwelling?

i'm sure it is. good time to come get a retirement home

2:55 pm

Best luck to all you settlers. Poofing off to check laundry.

bye stidge

Yes, One thing I like about this home is that it has things like a stand alone shower, no tub to climb into, and a garden tub...so when I get very old...and can not climb, I will be able to clean myself.

How is all the snow?

oh, it's fine. we - not so much.

it has been a very snowy winter...and last year too!

it tiik us hours just to close my dad's bank accounts and open an estate account today. no one at the brank branch seemed to have a clue.

soory all,happy babbling

3:09 pm

hi red, TO! :o)

Oh Horrible TO.

And Hi dfm.

Sorry I was in kitchen.

iam sitting here trying to figureout all the pension stuff and make a spreadsheet of it

i mena,my whole day off, which precludes weekend plans, and only one hting done!

TO, do you have a finance advisor? My parents have one and he takes care of a lot of that stuff for them.

no.

You might want to get one. my parents dont pay this guy. he helps them invest and makes his fee from that. So far, he has saved them several times...my parents retired early and then in 2008 or so when the stock market went bad again, he really helped keep them afloat.

Heck he might even take clients in your area. My parents live about 2.5 hrs from Philly.

ty red

I also need to get one. But if you want my parents guys name, I can get it. I dont know it off hand. I am just so afraid to trust anyone with my money!

I am sorryyour day off is horrid. Can you have a nice dinner to make up for it?

I must run. Best wishes with the pension.

3:19 pm

congrats on your house red.

bye red. good luck with the house

3:51 pm

clue for the ch7?

3:52 pm

never mind got it

4:08 pm

Was gonna say "Tracy" Cos. : P How are you tonight?

4:09 pm

TO, I had similar problems opening an estate account. I can't figure out why only "certain" people at banks know how to do that.

4:22 pm

house, estate accounts, pensions? gee whiz, this crowd is aging!

4:22 pm

*wicked mama look*

4:23 pm

Alas, estate accounts and pensions are what you have to deal with when you lose a loved one. A new house knows no age. : D

4:39 pm

I slept in, then took a nap, then decided to babble in bed. but probably not sleeping as much as I should.

4:39 pm

i'm missing more than two stid..

4:39 pm

4:47 pm

that sounds good

4:47 pm

OK good! I invited Woody but he isn't coming, he had golf plans.

I have 6 left but none of them are words I am sure. What a grid.

4:48 pm

hm. maybe I shall have to break my usual mode and ask for a second letter for my last blank tile.

4:48 pm

which one , stidd?

I was so disappointed when I saw it this morning.

4:48 pm

is the first letter an a stid?

4:48 pm

he chose golf over the polar plunge!?!

4:48 pm

nope. lacking an O actually.

I'm missing an o and an a- the singles.

4:49 pm

there is only one o... and it was in the grid recently... want help?

4:49 pm

Woody? does he have a friend in a space suit, monkey?

4:49 pm

ha! I know, right?!?!?! well he will miss out on all the fun... what good lunch place is near or inside Lynhaven mall?

4:49 pm

(i'm missing the a myself, kap)

4:49 pm

ha. found one.. three now

4:49 pm

i don't think so, stid, unless you mean ME

4:49 pm

doren are you sleeping okay? (ap 5)

4:49 pm

there is red lobster, olive garden and a cracker barrel

4:50 pm

Lil! Your Mom is an artist?

4:50 pm

op4, think of Miss Winfrey

4:50 pm

thanks stid

4:50 pm

ah, thanks monkey. used ALL the letters several times but never apparently in the right order!

4:50 pm

yes, MOlly she is! She is part of a group of artists at the Touchstone Gallery in DC

4:50 pm

two now

4:50 pm

funny cause someone is snoring next to me right now

4:50 pm

littlebit, I vote for Olive Garden!

4:50 pm

okay!

4:51 pm

what time?

4:51 pm

we can get that dessert again! the little cups of mousse!

4:51 pm

noon?

4:51 pm

That is so cool. I will have to tell my oldest. He was an art major in college but has not been able to apply that to a job that will earn him a decent income.

4:51 pm

two for nbt or fireworks?

4:51 pm

sounds good!

4:51 pm

Molly, my mom makes no income from it

Art doesn't pay.

Art and crime.

4:51 pm

you're so right, Kap

Actually, crime does pay.

4:52 pm

ha!

4:52 pm

I was gonna say Kap.

4:52 pm

for incendiaries, doren, i have been dropping in for hours.

Well, it does.

4:52 pm

sometimes art pays... and usually crime has costs beyond the pay.

4:52 pm

well, go you!

4:52 pm

hyac

4:52 pm

ooops.

4:53 pm

i'm watching Maury Povich, some girl just had FOUR men tested and none of them are her baby daddy

4:53 pm

Well, I can tell you that one year, right around Mother's Day, when my son got an offer for his first commissioned painting, art payed big time.

4:53 pm

stid, think of an injection... use a hy** dermic needle

4:53 pm

oh dear, that is so sad, monkey

4:53 pm

oh that's AWESOME molly!

4:54 pm

stid, it's just the stupid "entertainment" of daytime TV

4:54 pm

nope. I have that one. it's okay. I'll run into it at some point... *figners flying over keyboard*

4:54 pm

okay, down to ONE.

4:54 pm

that's the only HY word, stid

4:54 pm

holding breath!

4:54 pm

is your last word H, stid?

4:55 pm

got it. firewords.

4:55 pm

WTG stidlicious!

4:55 pm

yayyy!

4:55 pm

last word was a cy

4:55 pm

ty... i am listless.. that helped!

4:55 pm

woo hoooooooooooo Stid Vicious!

4:56 pm

I am not generally happy when my last six words are all four letter ones. I know a LOT of four letter words, but even enable doesn't recognize those!

4:56 pm

This grid was stinky!

4:56 pm

I am almost always listless these days doren... it's just too much hassle without lickety's lovely browser.

I have 4 left. One of them is a 7. What are the stats on the one that is not ty?

4:57 pm

hmmmm. just thinking maybe i should list for my last ten... but if you did it, i will try

4:57 pm

well, I had incidental help with the jn and a couple others.

4:57 pm

go kaplan go!

4:57 pm

ch 7/44

Stat on the other 7?

4:57 pm

understandable... incidental help comes i might ha**y

The jn was unecessary.

4:58 pm

and then I did have to ask for the o word, too.

4:58 pm

ch7 is a singer named Tracy... "You got a fast car"

4:59 pm

It seems like the "think system" from the Music Man, only for attaining spiritual heights

4:59 pm

littblit, are u finished?

I figured it had that ending but I was off by a vowel

4:59 pm

nice... thanks monkey... i had tried with a different first vowel and thought i was being funny

I am missing a 6 too.

I have the ma and the ty and the go

5:00 pm

ch6, go6, ma6,ty6

5:00 pm

hm. actually the an 4 + ch 7 are the name of a russian spy recently sent back to russia

5:01 pm

interesting coincidence, that.

5:01 pm

you need ch6, kap

I really did like Tommy James and the Shondells.

5:01 pm

crimson and clo-o-ver, o-ver and o-over

yep.

It's on my mp3.

5:02 pm

But I could never figure out the line after "my my such a sweet thing."

5:02 pm

It has mystified me since I was in the 7th grade.

Oh, where was I. Ch6.

5:03 pm

5:03 pm

bye monkey. take care

5:03 pm

My mind's such a sweet thing I wanna do everything What a beautiful feeling Crimson and clover Over and over

5:03 pm

ch 6 resembles the go 6

5:03 pm

Like Dylan's "Visions of Ch6?"

the last two are 4's.

5:05 pm

hello, just found my aunt' obituary in the newspaper. Nieither my siister or I were notified of her death or of any funeral arrangements!/

That's lousy.

5:05 pm

5:06 pm

she was in a nursing home and she was 97. had not seen her in the past few years but would have appreciated being notified so that we could pay our respects. my sister sent an e,ail to her son

5:06 pm

she as an interesting lady. married 4 or 5 times.

5:06 pm

I have two left and they are 4's and I can't get them

Peri, people are so inconsiderate.

5:07 pm

5:09 pm

ha4/8 did you say?

5:09 pm

5:09 pm

5:10 pm

5:10 pm

8:05 pm

Hey uusue. safe trip

8:07 pm

8:09 pm

evening all..

hi Pini :-))

8:10 pm

ch7 = dry/cold lip in the cold + adult boy

8:10 pm

hi pini, and everyone i missed earlier

hi lb :-)

8:10 pm

hi beach, bugs, sue, di, lbd, et al ;)

8:11 pm

thought I'd pop in for a few to see if clues might be needed...

8:11 pm

how's everyone doing?

doing great thanks Pini.... relaxing here in Arizona and enjoying the sun !!

8:12 pm

hi pini. i just got here, so i'm good :)

8:12 pm

sun? what's that?

8:13 pm

hi LA ;)

hahaha.... well I think the snow has finally stopped back home

8:13 pm

well, at least what is sun with heat? we get the sun, but not the heat

8:14 pm

rather odd here that it's still cold, but we've not had any snow on the ground here in the valley (just up at my dau's place in the hills)

8:15 pm

pondering what on earth that j could be...

I've got my laptop set to show temps in F ... it got to 70 today I think and I sat outside and read my book... got a little sunburn !

8:15 pm

jn5

8:15 pm

a j + yellow fruit

8:15 pm

nice, di!!! it's only 50F here and getting near freezing at night

8:16 pm

or j + grandma's nickname

j + nickame for Grandma

8:16 pm

hi ru ;)

8:16 pm

* snap * di!

8:16 pm

ah. clearly i need to brush up on my hindu philosophy.

snap.... I just saw that !!!

8:17 pm

;)

It does cool off here at night... was frost delay at the golf course on Saturday, but it sure warms up nicely.

8:21 pm

I just wish the temp would make up it's mind...

8:21 pm

why would frost delay golf?

if there is frost on the greens, it can damage the grass when people walk on them

8:22 pm

ty diane for the jn!

yw bugsaw.... Pini and I gave identical clues :-)

8:24 pm

I was distracted and did not follow the chog for a while there

bugsaw... my sister just sent me pictures of the daffodils poking through in her yard in Victoria !!

8:24 pm

HI PINI!! waving and blowing kisses

and we have 3 feet of snow back home in Alberta !

8:25 pm

that will be rough to go home to!

8:25 pm

yes Diane, it is sick. I was there last weekend. The snowdrops are all over the place and the crocuses and daffs are pushing thru. We have no signs of spring here yet

8:25 pm

* giggle * thx bugs! :)

I was just reading your profile, bugsaw... re: your position in the school system. I just got a picture today of one of my great nephews in Victoria.... a boy with autism, and graduating SO proudly this year !!

I thought you were in Victoria, Bugsaw..... my mistake.

8:28 pm

I used to live there until 1992 Diane. I go back to visit my kids and grandkids there.

8:29 pm

I bet you are all proud of your great nephew. School is hard for kids like him but they learn so much more than just academics

9:17 pm

26

9:19 pm

24..whee! crossy is on a roll;))

9:21 pm

back for a few while dinner is heating up...can help if needed

9:21 pm

evening babblers...should I dive in?

9:22 pm

sure...why not? it's little :)

9:22 pm

i would give it a go jilly,but lots of babblets

9:23 pm

Hmm, not sure if that's always good...but here I go *splash*

9:23 pm

Hello Jillyjill! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

9:23 pm

first word I saw was one

9:23 pm

Hey there MInv! You holding up in the snow?

9:26 pm

hi min ;)

9:26 pm

Okay I guess. The commute has been a killer.Took me 3 hours to get to work one day&2 hours to get home another day. Today, I had to turn around and go ten miles out my way because of an accident.Snow sucks!

9:27 pm

Hello Pinikula! How are you doing? Did you finish grid?

9:27 pm

sorry to hear, min :(

9:27 pm

hi Jilly!! ugh, Min that sounds terrible. good thing it's the weekend

9:27 pm

Yep, our son lives north of Providence and he is feeling the same way.

9:27 pm

And now they are tracking 2 more storms that might come this way. We may get another storm next week

9:27 pm

hi dawg!

9:29 pm

The story yesterday was about my hatred of Winter.

9:29 pm

we got another 4 inches just tonight and our problem is dealing with citiots who do no think they need to slow down because they are diving a fancy suv

9:30 pm

Oh Yes,LOTS of accidents around here the past week

9:31 pm

i always get a chuckle passing all the suv's in the ditch. idiots!

9:32 pm

yes..i am from the city..your rules do not apply to me..i am driving a big hummer suv..watch as i drive past our at 140 kmph and blind our with snow slop only to end up in the ditch 1 mile down the road

9:33 pm

LOL...they think the rig can allow them to drive like dry pavement!

9:33 pm

they think that, because they have $ they are smarter (and better) -- the SUV as a status symbol is dangerous.

9:34 pm

personnay i thing with the hummer..they are compensating...lol

9:34 pm

When I get my first real job teaching, I intend to purchase a BIG truck. with 4WD so I can haul manure and garden materials and logs and stuff. AND get to and from work in this rural area in the worst weather

9:35 pm

well, with hummers, you think they must have LOTS to compensate for, eh?

9:35 pm

i love my jeep, it gets me where i need to be, and 4wd is a god send

9:35 pm

an old truck, so I can paint it quirkily like my sentra used to be

9:35 pm

hey all...

9:35 pm

crossy loves jeeps

9:35 pm

(((Stiddy)))

9:35 pm

I think they should place special taxes on hummers!

9:36 pm

((stiddles))

9:36 pm

there is a way-cool (as in open-top-chilly) jeep for sale at the used car lot by the highway... a very pretty blue color

9:38 pm

not sure that would be a good vehicle for our kind of weather, stiddy

9:38 pm

Hi stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:38 pm

hey LBD. I am sick today, so stayed home. And unlike my hopes, got NOTHING done ahead for next week. *sigh*

9:38 pm

hey Min! at least I didn't drive in snow today!

9:39 pm

we get jeep freaks driving their soft top machines with the top down in winter whilst wearing ski goggles;)

9:39 pm

you needed the rest, stiddy. you'll get ahead

9:39 pm

oh dear... they probably drive hummers in the summers. *wicked mama grin*

9:40 pm

I'm getting a headache trying to find the jn

9:40 pm

jn+ a womans name

9:40 pm

I think that's true, LBD. I wish I could buy a hummer-equivalent jacket or pair of shoes to compensate for teacher-anxiety!

9:40 pm

hey bekki!

9:41 pm

hi bekki

9:41 pm

thank you

9:41 pm

actually... *remembers a sale that is online* I could go "window shopping" a bit! LOL

9:41 pm

Hi everyone

9:42 pm

*wonders if LBD's icon is what the cartoonist drew after watching her get the mail...*

9:42 pm

ah, retail therapy

9:42 pm

I prefer physical shopping, but I think in a pinch this might work!

9:43 pm

lol, i have enough padding to slide down a major hill!

9:44 pm

me too, Tom says I need to lay off the candies... *sigh* I think there's time enough for that next month!

9:44 pm

i need to use the wii more than once a week.

9:45 pm

I want to get wii fit, now that my hip would let me use it. But the wii needs some kind of refurbishing.

9:45 pm

and to be honest with all the clutter from my studies, there isn't room in the house to swing a nunchuck

9:46 pm

i haven't tried the wii fit. we have one, but...

hey stid! microsoft website has a place where you can arrange to send the wii in for repair. my daughter just did that for Jordan

9:46 pm

I think I am going to head out.

9:46 pm

oh! hey mcurl!

hope things are going well with you

9:47 pm

yeah, me too. gotta go to work tomorrow. hi mccurl

9:47 pm

yes, tom says they have a facility in renton I think - turnaround should be quick

hi lbd

9:48 pm

not horrible at the moment mcurl, but i have to stop being honest I think... people don't actually want to hear when situations are not optimal

9:48 pm

(thinking about my school faculty, not babblers)

I think carmon got there's back within a couple weeks, it was a surprise for jordan. they told her santa found it was broken when he came christmas eve and fixed it

9:49 pm

that is sweet. I'll sit on tom tomorrow so he can send it off.

oh hey, I haven't been optimal for a while.....my student caused me to hurt my knee; superintendent decided he wanted a bigger office and move my print shop to a condemned building

9:49 pm

how are you mcurl? all the grands okay?

fun, fun, fun LOL

9:49 pm

oh no! on both counts -- it's not actually legal to do that last one is it?

9:50 pm

didn't you just get that print shop floor cleaned a few months ago?

I'm hanging in there, grand babies are all great. and no it's not legal but have to prove it was condemned and then if I file a grievance I'm afraid they'll close it and i'm out a job

why yes!

9:51 pm

that would be retaliation if they do that, mcurl...

i know but proving it with all the budget cuts they have to make; it's easy to say it was done to save money...

9:52 pm

at least the grands are okay. that's important.

miss jordan is working on a project for school about "fairy penquins" AKA blue penguins. Googled it, they are quite fascinating

9:53 pm

hm. sounds fun!

baby paige has just started rolling over and momma says she doesn't like being on her tummy but hasn't figured out how to get back onto her back!

9:53 pm

"eudyptula minor" even a fun name!

9:54 pm

oh! they make the funniest faces when that happens. She'll get there soon enough.

9:54 pm

she'll be crawling in no time and there will be no stopping her

I know; was hoping to see her this weekend as we are going to UW for the women's basketball game sunday but may not have time.

9:55 pm

oh I hope it works out so you can.

Her momma says she doesn't think there will be any crawling straight to walking!

9:56 pm

evening babblish friends

9:56 pm

yeah, my grand daughter didn't do the crawling for long. wanted to do everything her brother was doing and crawling wasn't getting her there.

don't know if I mentioned....son in law got a job with the National Weather Service

9:56 pm

cool

9:57 pm

wish i could stay, but the pillows are calling. see you all tomorrow.

9:57 pm

that is excellent news, mcurl -- not sure about skipping crawling, but jobs always good!

9:57 pm

sweet dreams LBD

he's the one the AF discharged 2 years from retirement with no medical disability because they discovered he had developed asthma

9:57 pm

clue for the ma6/33 please?

It's in Hilo Hawaii

9:57 pm

Niters dawg!

9:57 pm

oh -- that's not so good... although maybe it means some nice vacations?

well, the girls are staying here because Carmon just sunk a chunk of money into opening her own hair salon.

10:00 pm

bye babblish friends

10:00 pm

later magyk ((hugs))

10:00 pm

evening all

10:00 pm

hey jes!

10:00 pm

clue for the ma6/33 please?

10:00 pm

well, that's going to make it rough, but it'll work out, I am sure.

10:01 pm

yep

10:01 pm

5th month + *** shaughnessy from the red green show

10:01 pm

ma6/33 is a spring month plus per***s you might need another clue Jillyjill.

10:02 pm

*thinking*

10:03 pm

ahhhhh...got it ty minv

10:04 pm

yw

10:08 pm

how's everyone?

10:09 pm

I hab a code id by hed.... *sneeze*

10:10 pm

hope you are feeling better than I am!

10:11 pm

heh. yeah, i am currently not ill. i hope you feel better soon!

10:11 pm

I will -- tom's on the mend after about 6 days. :-D I think he was milking it a bit...

10:11 pm

he really doesn't do well when he is congested.

10:12 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

10:12 pm

how's the critter business?

10:12 pm

he wouldn't do such a a thing, surely?

10:12 pm

not too bad, still looking for a home for Holly though.

10:14 pm

she's beautiful. if I had a fence I would offer a home, but I don't. and no money to build one. *sigh*

10:14 pm

also, I have recently realized that tom really isn't a "dog person" -- he's more of a "cat person"

10:15 pm

I, of course, am highly allergic to many cats (though not most, we can't predict which ones) so can't try that route

10:15 pm

she doesn't need a fence; won't leave the yard anyway :)

10:15 pm

so I think our Lucky might be our last critter companion. *sad sad sad mama look*

10:15 pm

you could look for a rex or a sphynx

10:15 pm

I can't risk it -- breathing is somewhat important to me.

10:16 pm

I like cats... but. *sigh* I think I will compensate by eventually having a really amazing yard.

10:17 pm

meantime, we have several more years with Lucky hope, and a bird and a turtle that I don't know what we'll do with when the kids leave home.

10:17 pm

yeah, the sphynx and rexes are supposed to be hypoallergenic though

10:17 pm

what kind of bird?

10:18 pm

budgie.

10:18 pm

doesn't talk, but has a lovely singing voice at times.

10:19 pm

they're pretty cute, budgies are

10:19 pm

the stidkid actually wanted an owl... LOL so we compromised with something that if it escaped in the house wouldn't knock things over.

10:19 pm

yep. bleu is a sweet bird. bloodthirsty, but sweet.

10:19 pm

owls are pretty high maintenance

10:19 pm

not well trained, I am afraid. I went back to school about the time we got the bird so no regular training happened.

10:20 pm

high maintenance, expensive, and longer-living.

10:21 pm

also requires lots of special permits to keep them

10:21 pm

I love the macaws and such but they live so very long and get so attached to their people. I think it's cruel to have the bigger, smarter, longer-lived birds.

10:22 pm

what is your dream critter, jes?

10:22 pm

unless you can take them everywhere with you and actually be a social life for them, or give them a big flight area with several other birds, yeah. i don't think people do them many favors keeping them most of the time.

10:23 pm

my dream critter? i have no idea. the horse from A Horse and His Boy, perhaps?

10:23 pm

I'm not really lacking for critters!

10:24 pm

I like dogs... big dogs. labs are about as small as I really enjoy, though I admit to liking almost any dog I run across. LOL

10:24 pm

Or a dragon... *wicked mama grin*

10:24 pm

can I assume you don't need any clues today jes?

10:24 pm

hah. i've got 42 left... you'd be cluing a long time! :D

10:25 pm

a dragon...while really cool, sounds like a maintenance nightmare!

10:25 pm

probably, though it wasn't a terribly grueling grid today there were some oddities

10:25 pm

yes, but I think the neighbors wouldn't dare complain!

10:26 pm

hah! true, true

10:26 pm

also, I wouldn't have to worry about the cougar I saw a month ago if I had a dragon. I do worry a little about Lucky when he goes on his solo forays...

10:27 pm

with Buffy, I worried when the eagles were overhead. She was only about 14 lbs. thought she was a lot bigger, of course.

10:28 pm

yeah; i see cats periodically with owl or hawk talon punctures

10:29 pm

My favorite memory of Buffy was the time about 6 months after we got Lucky. She took hold of one end of a tug toy, and he took the other end. Then he walked off, with her dangling along!

10:29 pm

hi all..

10:29 pm

Clue for go6/24 please?

10:30 pm

hi pini

10:30 pm

...I see you're talking about pets... * sigh *

10:30 pm

go + girl's name

10:30 pm

pictures, stid! i demand them

10:30 pm

hi pini ((hugs)) you okay?

10:30 pm

hold on jes

10:30 pm

ty

10:30 pm

My dau is putting up Koda's cousins for adoption :(

10:31 pm

hi pini :)

10:31 pm

I'm ok...just a little sad about it

10:31 pm

why, pini?

10:31 pm

here's an old post, when I still had an "office" to sit in. http://www.stidmama.com/?p=245 it shows buffy

10:32 pm

because she's afraid my gson might unknowingly startle them to the point of being nipped...there's already been some signs...

10:32 pm

I meant of Lucky carrying her by the chew toy :D

10:32 pm

...like when he touches them while they're sleeping kinda thing.

10:32 pm

Lord, hate to ask for a 4 letter...the first na 4/4...the one before grandma

10:32 pm

na4 = indian bread

10:32 pm

ah. yeah, kids and dogs can be a touchy mix

10:33 pm

and a really nice one of Lucky back before the ground critter ate all my tulips

10:33 pm

ahhh...ty

10:34 pm

oh, I wish I had taken pics of that, jes! LOL there just wasn't time

10:34 pm

pini, has your daughter talked to a vet about this? someone who can offer solid behavioral advice?

10:34 pm

Evening all. May I please have a clue for jn5-20? Thanks

10:35 pm

jn5 = j + grandma's nickname

10:35 pm

hi, ga

10:35 pm

hey peach

10:35 pm

Hi there, jesdraggon.

10:35 pm

Howdy, stidmama.

10:35 pm

that is a weird, weird word. thanks, pini

10:36 pm

Yes, stid, the vet knows about the 'startling'...we think it stems from the way they were treated before we got them (when they were littel)

10:36 pm

* little

10:36 pm

Thanks much, Pini.

10:36 pm

how old is the gson?

10:36 pm

ah yes -- I understand. I watch Lucky very carefully around strangers for the same reason.

10:37 pm

16 months...and very mobile now...

10:37 pm

and a bit young to understand why he can't pet the dog when it's sleeping

10:37 pm

right, jes

10:38 pm

okay, last word for fw...clue for th5/22?

10:38 pm

that's what's frustrating us adults...sadly, if one party has to go, it must be the pets; can't very well get rid of the gson :/

10:38 pm

no way to just keep him away from the dogs when they are sleeping or unsupervised?

10:38 pm

th5 = more th** one + vowel

10:39 pm

I learned today that th 5 is the person who owns the serf!

10:39 pm

not really, stid...they're inside space is too small and doesn't provide for sectioning off...

10:39 pm

unless they give him to you :)

10:39 pm

have the 12, not the 22

10:40 pm

Trust me, jes, I've thought about it...but, well, I have Koda...not sure I could handle THREE!

10:40 pm

the one after what happens in the spring

10:40 pm

i meant take the kid, but that works too :)

10:40 pm

th5 = th* kingdom come + me, **self, I

10:41 pm

Oh, I'd take Camo Boy in a heartbeat, but not sure they'd agree to that

10:41 pm

LOL pini!

10:41 pm

thanks for the th5

10:41 pm

silly parents

10:42 pm

fw, ty pini!

10:42 pm

yvw jilly

10:42 pm

okay, need a break ((((Hugs all)))) see you again soon! *poof*

10:43 pm

hugs, stiddy

10:43 pm

speaking of Koda, I think I need a little "cuddle"...back in a bit...

10:43 pm

see you later stiddy

10:44 pm

op4-6 please.....thanks

10:44 pm

PS: here's the link so you can see Koda's cousins' search for a new forever home :/

10:45 pm

op4/6 = greek exclamation

10:45 pm

* now to get Koda * ... back shortly

10:45 pm

http://eugene.craigslist.org/pet/21847 59536.html

10:46 pm

Thanks, Pini, still looking.

10:47 pm

they're cute, pini

10:48 pm

thx jes

10:49 pm

really cuties...must be hard to adopt them out. Glad you put a fee to make sure they get a good home

10:49 pm

thx Jilly...

10:50 pm

...she's already had a call to take one of them, but we're hoping we can keep them together...

10:50 pm

might look for a breed specific rescue?

10:51 pm

We have this strong belief it will help keep any potential aggression to a minimum if they stay together...

10:51 pm

Well, probably should pay attention to hubby. ttfn, may be back for flip...it's FRIDAY NITE!!

10:51 pm

I'll let her know, jes...didn't think of that.

10:51 pm

have fun, jilly

10:51 pm

have fun, jilly

10:51 pm

...are we thinking in the right direction, jes?

10:51 pm

brb

10:52 pm

that it's better to start looking before you end up with a nasty situation and a dog bite? yeah

10:52 pm

tough decision, but...safer for the dogs and the kid

10:52 pm

well, that and about the thought of keeping them together?

10:53 pm

either that or the dogs have to be outside away from the kid full time until he's old enough to understand

10:53 pm

can't see any harm in wanting them together, unless they are defensive of each other. but it will make it harder to find a home

10:54 pm

no, they do very well together and keep each other company...

10:54 pm

...thought it would be less traumatic for them (and us)

10:54 pm

if we keep them together.

10:55 pm

probably

10:56 pm

* sigh * it's still leaves us a little melancholy (sp)...

10:56 pm

..speaking of...phone call...

10:56 pm

yeah, it's not an easy thing

10:59 pm

11:04 pm

11:18 pm

11:18 pm

11:18 pm

fun

11:18 pm

2 3yo males

11:19 pm

Hi Pinikula and kje!

11:19 pm

hello

11:19 pm

hi boo and kje ;)

11:20 pm

Never been called "boo" before, but I like it. :-)

11:20 pm

oops...meant brookie :) *honest*

11:20 pm

* scrambling for glasses *

11:22 pm

Seriously, I think it's cute. If it makes you feel any better, I once misspelled one of our fellow babbler's names into a really crude acronym. Was I embarrassed!

11:22 pm

is Pini looking for receptacles for drinks or trying to find her specs?

11:22 pm

Hi Jacula!

11:22 pm

oops, brookie...

11:22 pm

specs, jac; since I apparently can't read again tonight

11:24 pm

Hi Brookie. Most of the rude words in Babble grids have been shouted in capitals in the blog, quite accidentally most of the time. You can imagine, 'male chicken', female parts that rhyme with 'hunt', etc., etc.

11:24 pm

Speaking of specs, I need some to find the remaining 33 words that elude me.

11:24 pm

I can clue, Brookie.

11:24 pm

here to help if needed, brookie

11:25 pm

That's true about the grid. Let's see about cluing... I'm not looking at the list... How about clues for either of the "g" words?

11:26 pm

go + pale (go5)

11:26 pm

go6/24 = big lizard that rhymes with Harry Potter author's first name.

11:26 pm

Thank you!

11:26 pm

go6 = go + girl's name

11:27 pm

That's your 'g' words done the, Brookie.

11:27 pm

Just learned that "gohanna" is not a word and is 7 letters. :-(

11:27 pm

Nm, just figured it out...

11:27 pm

Thansk!

11:27 pm

Thanks, that is!

11:28 pm

One more, if you don't mind... the "f" word. :-)

11:28 pm

fa4 rhymes with th5

11:28 pm

fa4/7 - fa* of a group + a vowel.

11:29 pm

It's really a poetic word for a temple.

11:29 pm

Gotcha, thanks again!

11:30 pm

Brookie - have you got another funny speech ready for 2011 awards?

11:32 pm

Thanks for asking. The next humorous speech contest isn't until the Fall. This Spring, however, is the big International Speech Contest. That's when most Toastmasters come out of the woodworks and present their serious/inspirational speeches. There are 30,000 contestants. I'll give it a shot, although it will be a challenge. It's a lot easier for me to write humor than something serious. It'll be a learning experience for me.

11:32 pm

I think that 'cute' means something different in UK to what it means in USA. I had a couple of USA people telling me your last speech was 'cute' after I put it up. I took great exception to that, since 'cute' in UK is kind of dismissive and 'little womanish'.

11:34 pm

"Cute" is a compliment here, although some men don't like to be called "cute." That's really interesting. I'll be sure to avoid that word when talking to folks in the UK!

11:34 pm

I'll look forward to getting the link to your next speech, Brookie, wether humorous or serious.

11:35 pm

Brookie - I may have bridled unneccesarily on your behalf then. I just saw it as belittling what you had done.

11:35 pm

Thanks so much. I told myself I'd start writing it in February, so I have enough time to get feedback from others before the first round of competition (which isn't until April or May).

11:35 pm

Well, I appreciate all bridling, whether necessary or not. :-)

11:35 pm

How are you doing, by the way?

11:36 pm

You not only delivered it perfectly, your body language was right, too. And the bit on the table was hilarious.

11:36 pm

I'm doing okay, thanks.

11:37 pm

I will say, there is so much about that speech that was true (not the syringes, though). My tri-athlete friend really did try to make me do those exercises.

11:37 pm

Anything new in Jacula's world?

11:38 pm

LOL - and, no, I never thought the children playing with syringes part was real.

11:38 pm

You'd have to read my blog to know that, Brookie, unless you've been reading the Babble chog religiously.

11:40 pm

Those exercises are actually possible, you know, Brookie - if you're about 20 and have never given birth.

11:40 pm

Sorry, no, I've been on and off the chog. Nice family photo!

11:41 pm

Ex-family photo, sort of and squashed on here. That's me, my 2 kid and my Ex-Hub.

11:41 pm

My tri-athlete friend is 41, but I'm pretty sure *he's* never given birth. :-) Actually, my older son can do that exercise and doesn't hesitate to show me regularly.

11:42 pm

There you go then - neither has had their body traumatised like a woman has.

11:43 pm

It takes a woman's body 12 months to recover from pregnancy an childbirth, left to nature.

11:43 pm

Still a nice photo, even with the "ex".

11:44 pm

Yes, 12 months sounds about right. Though I still have a little "belly" that I didn't have before, that won't seem to go away despite my best attempts.

11:44 pm

Yes, it is a nice pic. The only one I have of the 4 of us together as a family. Got lots of me and the kids, but one with Dad in done by a professional snapper is a first.

11:45 pm

How old are your children?

11:46 pm

Well, don't have another child within 3 years of the first, or your body might be doomed like mine was. Seriously, I probably could have sorted it out, but divorce came etc.

11:47 pm

My kids are son, born 1984 - 29 this year, I think? And daughter born 1987.

11:47 pm

My youngest son is turning 3 next month, but I don't plan on getting pregnant any time soon... would be a bit stressful being single and all!

11:47 pm

Also got a stepdaughter who was 16 in Dec. 2010.

11:48 pm

It must be wonderful to see your children grow up into adults. I wonder what mine will be like when they're older.

11:49 pm

They wil be a credit to you, Brookie, just like mine are. They won't always do what you want them to do all of the time, but it doesn't matter in the end.

11:50 pm

As long as they're happy and healthy, right?

11:50 pm

I'd like my son to kickstart his life by getting a proper job, I'd like my daughter not to keep having piercings and tattoes, but they still my kids.

11:51 pm

Sounds reasonable!

11:51 pm

Oh, do you have a clue for the ap5,12? I'm now looking at the list.

11:52 pm

hello everyone

11:52 pm

sleep deprivation Brookie

11:52 pm

Hi flosey!

11:53 pm

And thank you for the clue!

11:53 pm

Hi Brookie, have not seen you in here before - do you usually play at a different time

11:53 pm

yw

11:53 pm

ap5 is the thing that stop you breathing in the night, probably when you've been snoring.

11:54 pm

Usually I'm not up at this hour, flosey. I know I've seen you on the chog, but I couldn't tell you when. Sometimes I'm lurking, to be honest.

11:54 pm

And thanks for the clue too, Jac!

11:55 pm

ch7,44 please?

11:55 pm

nm, got it!

11:55 pm

i just got it too brookie

11:56 pm

Hi flossie, Jacula and brookie!

11:56 pm

Double male clue, that, ch7/44. Though it is an old word for a peddlar or a merchant.

11:56 pm

Hi jillyjill.

11:56 pm

Hi Jillyjill!

11:56 pm

hello everyone?

11:56 pm

Good clue, Jac. :-)

11:57 pm

hi cyber

11:57 pm

Hi cybernan!

11:57 pm

clue for the j please?

11:57 pm

HI cyber and mlf

11:57 pm

Hi mlfan!

11:57 pm

J + last part of long yellow fruit with a peel you can slip on

11:58 pm

hi brookie

11:58 pm

I'm only here through sleep pattern problems. The menopause brought me either not able to sleep, too tired to bother to do anything, or going to bed a a normal time but waking up on the hour, every hour, with a hot flush.

11:58 pm

thank you

11:58 pm

yw

11:58 pm

ahh, yes...menopause...so much fun!

11:59 pm

Yikes, can't wait.

11:59 pm

i want a really big grid this time

11:59 pm

I did find a magnesium drink "Calm" that does help me sleep. Don't know if they have it over there jac

11:59 pm

Oh, I forgot the Hindu meditation jn word. I should have thought to mention it before.

12:00 am

JillyJ - I've tried everything.
