hello jilli
dfm can u give me stats for the u
ut5/12
ty dfm
icon updated
LOL jilli - was just wondering what name I would choose but am still chuckling at your words.
Hi FM -- you're up early!
FM, you have one of my favourite names
oh don't! Been up since 4am :(
:o(
ooh, why, FM?
Aparently if I was a boy Mum would have called me Justinian - imagine that!
espected you to be Imperial?
(can't type -- back from a lovely boozy-winey evening with gal-pals)
Woke up at 3 and got fed up of tossing and turning by 4. 3rd day in a row *le sigh* LOL yes she had a thing about Byzantium Emperors.
People always mis pronounce my name. It is Crystal just with the extra l and e. But people often call me crystal lee
My daughter gets even more annoyed at people mispronouncing her name. It is Acaila. A Kay La. But people call her A carlia Or A kay Lia or A car la all the time
that is a pretty name.
I am too tired to play today. Bye all I am going to finish tomorrow
My parents thought about calling me Jean Elizabeth but decided the initials would be JEM (last name Murray) which might get teased, so picked that Gillian, second name begins with L -- initials GLM (glum)
aww... night crys! :o)
Acaila is lovely.
FM are you feeling alright? o.0
also, agreed... Acaila is a lovely name
dfm - what is your choice of name?
bye crystalle (pronounced correctly)
crys, is the emphasis on the first or second syllable of your name?
online or in text, I prefer "dfm" or "d"... habit...
lol but what about in real life?
give us a clue?
spoken, depends... usually don't mind my adapted English name 'Henry', sometimes prefer my surname though (weird, I know, I'm in no5 America!)
Henry - I like that name it has substance.
nbt, btw
I still prefer 'd'... it's monosyllabic...
(I end up calling everyone by essentially monosyllabic names...)
true dfmbut you are wierd (in a good sense).
FM, I don't happen to know your name! :oO
so we can just call you d?
<-- likes being weird. purple!
I don't mind, and it's easier to type ;o)
(but it might get confused with dee...)
soi I can say hi d hi? (Do you know about Cab Calloway?
purple - you must meet up with Carlee and her purple crayons for eradicating re words.
wow, monkeyed tu5/16! Surprise!
and pl it jilli
don't know about Cab Calloway...
(see, my habit when playing Babble and running out of words... start looking for French words. I'd do Scottish, knowing Enable, but I don't know any, so French it is.)
Cab was a jazz man -- used to get his audeince to sing along -- "Hi dee hi, ho dee ho" back in the 1940s
start learning Welsh and Latin too and get a good scattering of scientifice words ... actually read jillis profile for what you have to learn.
I know Latin... grammar, that is... barely know any words...
LOL FM!
BRB time for more tea.
hi jilli, just back for a bit
hi flosey -- were you here for the flip which I missed?
was in and out, jilli
nice Chinese name (I think), flosey -- maybe d can elucidate
incidentally, my icon should have been resized!

Hello jillibus: cab at the tiny url

hi BR!
Wow, thanks for that, babrab!!!
thanks BR
Hello
Saw him do that in NYC at the town Hall ;-)
He could sing it
ty for the de8 too!
BR glad to see you - was hoping you wouldn't have abandoned us.
hmm... FM, I still don't know what your name is ;o)
late late flip for me... hi all!
hi dee! :o)
hi Dee

hi dee hi -- you MUST go to the link Babrab gave -- http://tinyurl.com/2w3w9x9
k, checking now
It's a secret dfm - but in babble terms it would be Fi5/16 if I have done the math correctly.
tribute to Lawrence Welk??
Two lovely modified rhyming slang words to finish on: ti6/27 and ti7/40. My father used this word for his headgear.
Didn't you get Cab Calloway, dee?
yes, I was kidding jili... the "set" reminded me of Lawrence Welk at my grandparents every Sat. nite
Great words scourser.

hello everybody! what a small grid for a Sunday
hi rubyfoo, I agree.
how is the husband doing today? Is he enjoying being home? And how are you?
he is eating like crazy, trying to regain the lost weight. He is happy to be home and is doing much better I think. I think I've been up and down the stairs 15 times already and it is only 1:30 OR SO.
It was definitely a good idea to bring him home
lol, remember to keep taking care of yourself. You won't be any good to him if you don't. Very glad he is recuperating so well!
gm
hi kje, good morning
hellokje
your advice was very helpful
not much of an advice, rubyfoo... just a gentle reminder to trust your instincts ;)
glad he is doing better, ruby
and home is def better than a hospital! (and family makes the best nurses)
and kje sent me a wonderful article on geriatric care
ah great, that should help.
I am making myself treats and resting whenever I can, but this is very hard
yes I can imagine it is. Is the nurse helpful?
it is a lot of work... do you have anyone coming out to help you?
yes, my housekeeper comes 4 mornings a week. Her son comes in the afternoon for an hour to bring in wood. My neighbor brought me a jelly donut. All very nice!
the visiting nurse comes every day to "walk" him and massage his legs, so I think it's all under control.
sounds good.
when people ask if they can help, I say yes!
Ooooh! Send the jelly doughnut neighbor over here!
morning al my peeps
smart woma, ruby
no, rubyfoo needs it even more, lol. Hi lil*monkey
and he's cute, too, younger than my son LOL
hello lil monkey
I need a man like that! LOL
ruby I am so happy that you have lots of help :)
i have 10 Qs, looking for 3 more
I couldn't manage otherwise
I love the q's; that's where I started and got 11 right away. Years of scrabble, I guess
me too ruby! Now I hve 11
i have 11... and don't see anymore
I think they spotted you looking for them, 'cause they fled.
does anyone have all of them?
I do this very sophisticated thing... I glance at the grid, pretending not to search. It helps.
Morning all. Ruby, glad to hear you're getting some help and that your husband is doing better.
I am missing one
good afternoon all
{{molly}}
yes I do. Hi Kallia
pleased to hear your good news Ruby
hello kalia

Glant was here last night. Haven't seen her today, but I just got here.
thanks Molly
ha! Ruby aimez vous le royale with cheese?
what is le royale?
hahahah {it's a line from the movie Pulp Fiction}
when they're eating in the convertible, hahah, I forgot
i think john travolta was calling a Big Mac (or some other hamburger) a royale with cheese
that's the best part of the movie, that restaurant, but my husband didn't get any of the impersonators. hahah on him!
i love that movie, it's crazy
has anybody seen Travolta in Love Song for Bobby?
nope
nope
fireflies. Have fun all, and all the best to mr. foo
he was wonderful in it, but I'm a big fan of his anyway
he can be anything

flu lil and trpped a nerve or pulled a muscle whilst coughing and now chesty, so not doing too bad!!lol
thank you, I could never have gotten that
ty
sounds like part of the new testament
Lilliann, are you using the heating pad on that? I did the same thing in the fall and the heating pad helped a lot.
i don't have a heating pad molly
sorry you are hurting cheeky :(
have you tried those things that stick to you and heat up on their own? Every time a try a heating pad, it blows a fuse!
See if someone can get you one. Or try warm, moist compresses.
i'll get hubby to get me some of those pads
good advice, ruby & MOlly
put a towel in the microwave.....
thanks molly and ruby :)
those pads are wonderful and you can wear them under your clothes
I hope it heals up soon Lilliann. I know how uncomfortable that is.
i'm not too bad when i'm still and i spend most of the time sitting or lying down anyway
thanks molly
The general rule for any muscle tissue that is torn or strained is to immobilize it. But you can't exactly immobilize your chest. Hence, the longer healing time.
2 more and I can go and lie down!
no, the coughing doesn't help!
hot water, honey and whiskey for the cough
are you old enough?
do you have the eq?
can't stand whiskey, but i have had alot of lemon and honey
The eq is a nasty word.
FW!
don't have it....work, monkeys, work!
FW!
wish i could say no ruby, but i am
Yay for kje!!
wtg kje!!
eq7 - e + questio with double consoant?
consonant
thanks kje!
Supposedly, it's some British horse person. Whatever. The Enable dictionary is whacked.
yw
must run... hagd all!
byeeeeeeeeeeeee kje
you too kje, bye
bye kje, and thanks again for your help (and with the eq)
hooray - fireworks for me 0 but must be off to do some lunch for the hubby
half and nap time. see you later {{everybody}}
wtg kazzer.my hubby's cooking mine :)
how are things Ruby
bye bye all - see you tomorrow
better thanks, kaz, but I am sorry tokeep monopolizing the chat. Husband is home, eating like a champ, an nurse is visiting every day. We will get through this
It always makes me chuckle when I'm cooking breakfast and you all are fixing lunch.
can hear yur chuckle from here, molly!!
you're not monopolising the chat ruby.we like to know how he is doing and if you are ok
*poof*
i like lunch - no arguments - he wouldnt go shopping this morning and so we have no bread and so he will have to have soup for lin
i like lunch - no arguments - he wouldnt go shopping this morning and so we have no bread and so he will have to have soup for lin
Ruby, you do not monopolize chat talking about your husband. Only the grumpy, "only talk about Babble" people would think that and who gives a rats ass about them?
roast beef and yorkshire puds here molly
oops for lunch and he wont be happy
I've stopped asking, I make things he likes and I can carry and that are good for him, slipping in the occasional mayonaise
we very rarely have a roast lunch on Sundays now - as we tend to eat our main meal in the evening
but i must go
love yorkshire pudding!!!!
then he'll have to go shopping kazzer
oh me too ruby!
Oh, now I'm craving yorkshire.
love roast beef w/ yorkie pudding
husband is soooo skinny that it's scary
is it hard to make?
first you have to catch the small dog.....
i like to make it in a muffin pan so they are individual yorkshire puddings... ruby it is SO EASY to make
we haven't had a roast for a while.i've been cooking alot of stews and casseroles lately and was getting fed up with them, but the bairn and hubby like them
I'll look it up, even have a muffin pan
Those are popovers Lil.
no, different recipe Molly
feed him up on yorkshire puds ruby, he'll soon put the weight on :)
what's the diff between popovers and yorkshire pudding
Really? I didn't know that.
he's on a banana binge now, but that can't hurt him
you can make a big one in a round cake tin
Molly, york pudding has beef drippings in it
otherwise, recipe is about the same
If he's craving bananas he's probably low on potassium. But they won't put weight on him.
could you use beef bouillon for some of the liquid?
i make mine in little cake tins and i also have proper yorkie tins.really easy to make ruby
he won't eat sweets or anything with butter or even egg yolks
I hide the fattening ingredients (like when I roast a chicken and stuff it with shallots, onions and butter)
Ruby, do you have access to a dietician. I'm pretty sure they can recommend some weight gain drinks.
he won't drink those, not even home-made smoothies with yoghurt and banadas
he is very picky and used to be a fat man when I met him
i just put 4 heaps spoonfuls of plain flour,pinch of salt, 2 eggs and start mixing and then i add milk and water til it's a thickish consistency.put the oil in the bottom of the tins and heat until hot, whisk the mixture until it's bubbly and pour in and cook on high heat for 20-25 mins and mine always rise to humungus things
Wow, he's stubborn. Does he understand that his low weight is unhealthy?
it's not for no reason that we have chow chows, an extremely stubborn breed. Maybe he's part chow....
good day all
he finally realizes it, but up to now he was really vain about being slim
hello sue
hi sue
Hi all. Lil - I always make my Yorkies with all milk and a bit of melted butter. Was just thinking it might be handy for Ruby to use that method to add more calories to it.
ooh. yorkshire pudding is my favorite. sadly, my mom and i cannot find my grandmother's recipe and it hasn't been the same since.
FIREWORKS for FLASK!!!
Well done Flask!
YAHOOOOOO FLASK
I'm going to try lil's recipe. Even if he won't eat it, I certainly will!
yes, true, jac, i use water aswell because i'm trying to lose weight
yay flask!
yay, wtg flask!!!
not far behind you, 2 left
Speaking of Yorkshire Puds., I'd better make the batter for mine. It's best if it stands for a while. (Mine's made as a big square one.)
that's a good idea, jacula. And this afternoon I'll make his favorite roast chicken
My mam used to make a big square one Jac.....their the bestest!
i normally leave mine to stand for 20 minutes
for nbt, the u, please
nm, got it!
the hairybikers put theirs in the fridge
what are hairybikers?
Lil - I put mine in the fridge to stand, too.
does he like sausages ruby.you could make him toad in the hole aswell
i leave mine out jac
I made him veal sausage and pached eggs for breakfast today
poached
The Hairy Bikers are two Geordie bikers who do cookery programmes and books, ruby.
they are 2 english tv chefs
that's hilarious!
ok....am outa here......have a fab day all of you!!!! Bye hen...(((lilliann)))...xx
'Bye Flask.
one of them is from yorkshire jac
I'm going to do the chicken and try the yorkies
bye again
cumbria, sorry
Oh yes. Dave.
bye flask,have a good day hin.xx
let us know how you get on ruby
Remember Ruby your oven must be as hot as possible!
'Bye Ruby.
yes, the batter should start to cook when you pour it in
bye ruby
And Ruby, use hot fat from the meat to cook the Yorkie in.
I hope it's not a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth/Yorkie now! LOL
I thought chiwawa puppies where less fat
i like to put finely chopped onions in mine too, for something different! i was thinking the same thing jac! lol
LOL, Sue.
Lil - I do that when making Toad in the Hole, sometimes.
what is toad in the hole?
i haven't done it with toad in the hole jac, i'll have to do that next time i cook it
Tee - sausages cooked in a Yorkshire Pudding.
sausages in batter mix
oohhhh. wow. i'll have to try that.
nice with mash potatoes and gravy tee
Tee - brown the sausages for 10 mins in the fat in the tin for 10 mins before adding the batter.
Lil - I like mine with new potatoes (skins still on), sprouts, carrots and gracy.
GraVy! Lol
fireworks!!
i was wondering about the gravy. thanks. i'll write this down. perhaps experiment on my Colombian friends.
i like mine with loads of veg too jac,i'm not a big potato eater but i do like a bit of mash with mine
Time for another cuppa and then I must sort the flowers out that Beloved's brought home for me. Then start dinner.
Well done, Lil!
YAHOOOOO LILL
well, i hope they like tee :)
ty
aww, thats nice of him jac
i'm off to lie down again and wait for my lunch.bye all and tc
i hope so. they're good sports and also some of my closest friends. so, if i bomb it, they'll still love me.
you can just blame it on the english tee! lol
get some flavoured pork sausages
((poof))
ahh. the kids' tv time is over and so is my computer time. thanks for the toad in the hole idea, everyone. ciao!
'Bye Tee & Lil.
morning, all! just stopping in briefly before shower and breakfast, off to the home show today to moon over things we can't afford...
Morning uusue.
grid looks tricky...
It's not too bad. I'm down to 28 to find after about an hour or just less.
Having said that, I've been chatting instead of looking for words for some of that time. LOL
:-)
just found another word to add to my physics babblets...
20 left...
18...
ok, found 26 pretty quick, now off to the shower...
I'm off, too. BBL with fresh ey4.
16... couldn't resist. Really going now!
good morning everyone;)

hooray! i hardly ever can figure out other people's, lol
hurshy, arent you the one that started "name the proper noun" here....I love it

LOL
i'm so excited, my husband and i are going to have a valentine's brunch today

lol, thanks
pretty nice little grid today.

howdy annie
dont know how that happened, sorry, but hi to josh before my computer freezes again
anyone want any clues?
yes, the biggie, do 8 please
de 8, i mean
congrats, hurshy
Isn't de 8 a book of the Bible without the onomy at the end?
the fifth book of the bible minus -omy
oh thanks!
Oops...omy. Hursh, have fun at your romantic brunch. Aw.
hi molly
thanks :)
Hi Annie. Anyway, I figure one day all the de8's got together and wrote the Bible book. : D
I think this is the second day we have a grid w/o an A
And with that, I must go spend what I have earned on edible consumables. Yep Annie, two days with no A. Tomorrow, we will probably have 5.
actually the de8 is a hydrogen nucleus with an extra neutron (dashes off to add to physics babblets)
hi uusue
hi, annie! I am dashing off again to get a cup of tea and some cereal, bbs
Good morning all

afternoion kallia, cybernan, cross and marc
just waiting for paint to dry...
I am escaping cat duties
wont you just have to do them later though?
she is trying to train me but i am a special needs pupil LOL
anyone have a clue for the first 1 please?
as far as cats go yep!
everyone else is buried in the grid I think
I have realised that when she climbs on me it is not because she wants fuss but because it is the only way she can tell me she's hungry. I have been fooled by the fact that there is food in her bowl.
Cross just clued it at 10 AM
;)
they dont like food that's been lying around
the first i?
that clue seems to be for the de
and she iks very picky now she is so old and sick - I also realised that when the food goes to the edges of the bowl she can't get at it so i have been scraping it back to the middle, where she eats it
Your question read the first 1
i have an ir4 - you use it for art and clothes
well that was a capital i....
flipping heck, cant believe that I missed that
i did wonder... LOL
fish me...been using it just a few minutes ago lol
any clue about the U? I have tried monkeying but my monkey is obviously thick!
thanks Molly, sorry for the misunderstanding
you have one of these Glan...its a plural
Plural of female reproductive organ
lone o left column? Good morning.
Great clue for the 8 crossy!
cineplex od*** theatre
ty seaspray
TY- NBT
crossy is on a roll...booyaaa!
did you get the u Glan?
*Passes the bacon/cheese dip and chips to Cross*
must be the bacon you had for breakfast crossy:)
mmmm...did i ever tell you that you are my favorite molly?
he tells that to all the ladies lol
No, but my mother used to tell me that all the time. That I was her favorite daughter named Molly. : P
:)
especially if they give him bacon!
just can't see that re 5/10 before making another attempt
scuse me,i may be easy but i am not cheap!..well what kind of bacon are we talking bout here first?....
ah -- found it
maple cured?
It means a style of the past Nan.
*had to go back in time
mmmmm
maple bacon....
drools...
didn't get the U - busy answering the phone
baby holder lol
it's what we are having for our late dinner, cauliflower cheese with maple bcured bacon, mushrooms and tomatoe
ey 4/7 plz
lol crossy
is this another word for womb?
mmmm i am there kallia
Latin plural of the baby holder
indeed it is...plural
ending in i
i don't think i know it!
monkey found it
yes you do
TY
thank goodness for that!
*Takes Glan back to the birds and the bees class*
I am less about theory and more about practical Molly ;-)
ok am off to sort out this background now paint is mostly dry
later guys
enjoy - hope it works out well
me too, I have all the other bits mostly sewn
indeed glant..books are highly overrated in this regard;)))
hi glan -- here you also may be coming to the June babble meet :)
bye kallia
I hope so, depenmds on how far and whether my diary has a gap!
are you coming over form the US?
from Canada -- we will be in Salisbury June 3-11
Salisbury is about 2 and a half hours drive form me but only half an hour from Kallia (I think)
Kallia mentioned that you may come and stay with her
yes, I must be due a visit by then!
ti 6-7 combo, please?
describing hat(s) - slang, probably British
0_o
if it is international slang, I don't know it!
need a clue?
* but monkeyed it!
ti* - slang word for female mammary gland, 5th letter, er ending
lol,ty for spoon feeding me that glant;))
*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help, everyone :)
yaa for cybernan
woo hoo cybernan
Another reason to keep my handy dandy book of British slang handy while perusing the grid.
well it is the kind of word you either know or would have trouble imagining, cross
Sorry to chip in: the ti word is rhyming slang for hat. ti**** tat = hat
could of clued a boobie snack treat ..lol cant eat just one;)
cockney rhyming slang at that
glan - will send you an e-mail with an alternate address so that we can keep in touch. I am planning on bringing my netbook to the UK as our flat has internet service.
Sally, that makes no sense to me, but I'm not up on British slang.
cough...time to put the kettle on
OK cybernan
Cockneys traditionally used rhyming slang, allegedly so that other people wouldn't understand. So: apples and pears - stairs, shortened to just "apples".
cockney rhymiong slang is interesting - apples and pears=stairs
ef 4/7 a common babblet
plates of meat=feet
Some of them are very rude :-)
is ef4/7 a common babblet? it's a word that takes me back to my childhood as i first came across it in charles kingsleys 'the water babies'
Well, that one is fine, with it's proper definition. Cross's...no so much.
don't know any of the rude cockney slang - b ut I am a long way from london, both geographically and culturally
I am struggling with today's grid but have finally made it past the half way mark
and have just realised i have NBT
mmm,tough little grid
it's the Rs that i am fighting with - only got 1
clue for the st6 please
The length of your step, past tense.
Glan -- if you are in touch with Kallia before tomorrow's chog, would you please ask her to send me a note? -- for some reason her address didn't get saved in my address book.
tyvm Molly
re 6: rhymes with sparkly little disc used to decorate clothing
ro 5-6-7: beginning of a french cheese, add a consonant to make it look similar to a tennis implement, then plural
that's the only re I have cybernan - and i will tell Kallia
re + no **s, ands or buts
TY
remaining r's are common words or babblets
just monkeyed one
off to make a pot of tea -- back in a bit
the second pr 5/12 plz
it's a substance which when introduced into the human brain causes BSE
nm just got it!
Viral particle = pr + charged particle
ty both though
Damn Glant, what a Frankenstien like clue. : P
i didn't do science so struggle with some of the correct terms LOL
there are lots of phantoms in this grid
For those who don't know what BSE is, it's mad cow disease. I had to look it up. : D
bovine spongiform ensomethingorother
well i think i'm going to have a little na and see if a refreshed brain helps me with this grid - see you later *poof*
is it me or is this grid hard?? i don't see many recognizable words, even using the list
it is a tough grid
The Q was easy, i'm only just starting to look at other letters
Most of the q's were easy. qu7 doesn't exactly live in the forefront of my brain though.
hint for qu7?
nm just monkeyed it!
qu 4 + robot ending
any other clues wanted before I move on?
you can so re+qu5.18
not according to enable, seain but you can re qu 4
:-D
oy. ty for that
off to the housework :)
I guess in the UK, when you line up again, it's not re qu5/18ing.
DE 8?
genesis, exodus, de******omy
merci bien, chere Une! bonjour everyone!
down to 41, just got here and found another five words!
salut, stid! :-)
one more and I dive back into paper writing.
thx une
yw ;-)
off to recycle -- back in a mo

laters gators! *poof*

Just to note, Stid spent exactly 2 whole minutes here. WHOOSH, in and out she goes again.

Hello babblers
hi ya wht

gah. utero is to a word!
Lesson from our birthdays: no one in my family likes kiwi fruit, and my sister thinks she's allergic to it.
howdy, wild wht, jes, GE, et al
hi ya seain
hi dc
and ge and whit
Hi dc
well, just explained to yet another someone that Brett Eastman has not had my 865 number since October.
I do wonder what ever happened to Brett. The people i've talked to have all been most pleasant.
disappeared without letting most of his friends know apparently
nor his mother
oops
or his mother? bad on Brett!
poor mom
she was the most upset by the news
most others were merely confused
I like when they ask if you're sure Brett's not there. Like you don't know who is there with you or not. Or when they insist he still has that #
I'm sure she was
i've had people get really angry at me because there was no Mike present.
you didn't tell them you were hiding him under your bed?
Nope. I didn't think that would help calm the lady down. Nor did I tell her that he was in the shower but he'd call back if she left her number...
And then they want to know who YOU are. Like that's going to help
Can you ask Brett to give me a clue for the second no4/4 please?
heheh
Hi all
Hi jilli
jill same as 1st change last vowel
I don't think so, wild -- that's a 4/5

rbud i went outside without a coat and thought it was lovely :)
(back from watching dc's wacky video)
howdy rbud
we have mostly ice left -- big piles of ice. It's to be in the 60s Thursday and Friday, hopefully it will melt or sublimate those days.
agreed, beats the heck out of those single digit temps we had last week! :P
Gotta go now -- bridge game coming up -- 13 to go, so back later
wacky video, yes, though i do feel that is speaks truth, even if it is a wee bit hyperbolic.
njoy, jilli
Bye sis!!
yes, it's very mild here too! 43 at the moment; feels like shirtsleeve weather!!
Hello all!!
i posted a couple goodones on egypt seain....did you see them?
hi, jill!
43 here in Montana...
it's up to 33 here
omg!! we are 5 above freezing today!!! ABOVE FREEZING OMG...I JUST SAW A BIT OF DEAD GRASS!
lovely cross :)
lol...hi crossy..feeling better?
SOMETING ON THE GROUND THAT IS NOT WHITE!!..crossy is confused
I have daffodils poking up. COME ON SPRING!!!
lol,yes jilly
LOL crossy
was minuss 22 2 nights ago,not it is 5 above lol
wow, even if my daffodils were starting, they'd have to be a good 18" high to get above the snow...
i know what u mean crossy....
confuzzled by the weather
crossy looks over at the 10 feet of snow covering the back yard and fells order restored...was a bit freaky seening that patch of grass out front lol
damn typos
yeah, pretty white all over here still too, crossy, and we were at -25C a few mornings ago (-13F). The sudden warmth is NICE
OK...need some clues...stuck on the st6 and st7 Please?
st6 is walked firmly
*thinking*
Trader Joe's Cinnamon Roll Bread is the bomb!
at least, that's the 6 i have... maybe walked briskly is better?
ty jes, i had the tr but not that LOL
got it
Once a year, about this time, I forget about what a pain in the ass cut out cookies are. Flour everywhere, red sprinkles everywhere. But they look cute and taste good.
hey, jc, you just gave me two more words!
they still a pain in the ass molls...sorry to burst ur bubble :)
dc, I meant, lousy fingers :-(
No bubble burst Carlee. That's why I quit making them at Christmas. Somehow, the heart shaped ones don't get me going so much.
well..enjoy then molls :)
Hey...dieting here...drooling over the chog is not fun...lol
am currently without oven..no food porn coming from me
What happened to your oven?
thanks carleekat...sorry about the oven..
so much can be done w/out oven though.
its in my living room
Boy, can I think of ideas....*drooling again*
along with my fridge and my dishwasher
ah, carlee, so you are having your kitchen redone?
ah, down to hotplate and crockpot then. I hope the wait is worth it
my ex is finally getting around to layng the flooring we bought when he was not my ex...its been setting in my kitchen for 5 years...we have to sell the house
:/
its ok seain....the house is not mine anymore...i made that decision al ong time ago..its just a house..not a home
well, good for him! My ex started a lot of remodeling projects around the house (using my money) but only finished one of them (and not before starting 3 more). So I have a living room without a ceiling, a kitchen without countertops, a bathroom without finished walls or a ceiling, and so forth. Did manage to finish the walls in the kitchen and dining room before the kid started college. But now everything is on hold, pending my paying off some loans, getting a second job, or winning the lottery...
I mean, if it
he benefits too....half of what we get on the house is his
rats.
I mean, if it's partly for his benefit it's not exactly altruistic, but still it will be nice to get it done, I suppose...
evening all - and I am in the same position carlee and uusue - a house full of half finished projects which needs to be sold
fortunately we agree it needs to be done
howdy glantarell
i am staying away form home this week (because I can't bear to be there with the ex) while he theoretically finishes the bathroom
howdy jesdraggon
anyway, carlee, I hope it gets done quickly, and that the house gets sold quickly, and that you can get on with your life.
Ugh, I hate living amongst disorder. It frazzles me. I hope he finishes up soon.
we actually work well together in those circumstances
giggle... "theoretically"
thanks sue :)
our house is also full of unfinished projects, and ones that need starting, but no worries about selling it, more likely it will look like bulldozer fodder to anyone but us, lol!
hi rbud. Haven't seen you here in awhile
we finished the last one jsut on time to put up for sale to move to this one
anyway
oh, I'm here most nights late, but don't talk a lot.
did you still need the st7?
i found it :)
ooh, I don't have it, jes...
ok I am most likely sleeping
Good Lord, gonna have to list to get thru these te's
what barry bonds may or may not have been using...
Ah. thx, jes!
thnx jes
ty, jes!!
stats for the 8, pls?

howdy, annie
hello dc and boo

Hi anne!
Hi jilly
reading back a tad...tons of ex,es..anyone still married anymore or are the mrs and i like a rare dodo bird? :/
clue for eq 7 please
i'm still married... but only 4 years in... give us time. ;)
Nope...29 years and we've just gotten thru the roughest patch yet...
cross- we're still married after 42 years
u'll be happy to know crossy..that everyone i know in my city...all my "friends" ( well..not now cus i am the first to go through this so i am the plague) are all married and happy
think e-question, boo, etra letter
we had a rough patch last year as well
I am 48 years married and still going !!!!
i am not married, but still happy with the domestic partner...
eq 7/48---sort of an inquiry, sounds like
48 years..omg..you have done your time
rough patches are to be expected in any long-term relationship, romantic or not
hopefully not!!!! he he!
i'm gonna move laundry and take out trash, bbl
And DONE!!
ty
nice work jilly
congrats, jilly
cheers Jilly ... well done.
yaaa for jilly!
I'll say it again...nasty twisty little devil today...
*~*~*POMOM TOSS*~*~*for jilly
it is kickin my butt so far
yay, jilli!
can I get a clue for st 6/21?
walked with purpose, annie
not liking this grid at all
For those that don't know, my hubby had some health issues and is now on disability...but the hospital we both work at has been horrible to him...he had mental detioration; finally diagnosed but still with some processing deficits...for awhile I really didn't know who he was. So I am quite happy the meds have mostly returned him and if he retires early (55 today) on medical disability, so be it. I am just happy to have him back.
Thanks! LA, havent seen you in long time
glad he's doing better, jilly
that is really good to hear, jilly. what a rough experience.
jilly, happy birthday to your hubby
lovely jilly.. its nice to hear of happy endings
good to hear Jilly.
Yep, I really had some adjusting to do, used to having him take lead, plus when we didn't know what was wrong it was really scary.
anyhoo. clues needed anyone?
yes jilly, te 7, please
gonna need clues for the big t words
lol...I struggled with the te, big and small...thanks Annie--I'll tell him when he gets back from errands
why can't you re-qu5/18? you get out of line and get back in
te+ crossed consonant + ro4/5
thanks, jilly
thanks, jilly
or you could think about what a bomb does...
purpling out the re's
yay carlee!!
( means i am ignoring them jilly :) )
*red in face*
let's get the biggies done. for 7s i have: eq, st, te. others?
qu7
i am glad your hubby is responding well to meds and treatments jilly;)
ro7
ti7
qu4/7 + robot ending
oh good would never have monkeyed that
morning babblers
thanks crossy...I used to wonder how 20+ year marriages failed, now I see how fragile it all can be.
morning, sammysmom
morning sammysmom
hi sammy
anybody have clues for ti 6,27 and 7,40?
jill, I am so glad to hear that your hubby is back to being himself - that makes such a difference! My dad and his wife of 35 years are going through a rough spot right now as they struggle with health problems - very difficult to see
ti7 is Brit slang for a hat
lol...boobie word derivatives..
ti 7 is also a plural
Thanks uusue2, didn't think we would hit this for another 20 years...
cloe please for the 2nd re 6/27 ?
re and the Dionne ****tuplets
re+end of word for sparkly things you attach to clothing
ok, I am off for a while to do some online tutoring (that 2nd job I mentioned) - bbl
it is tough on both when a medical crisis happens,as a man you suddenly feel helpless,and have to depend on other,just to feed you and help you through the day.you fear for your family and how you are to support them.sometimes you retreat into yourself to hide from the paid and adverse med effects...it takes a strong woman to shoulder the new burdens and to draw her sick partner out of himself in that instance...
any of the brits online?
got 'em.
pain*
crossy, my dad is feeling very much like that, even at age 89...
Boy crossy, I didn't know I had it in me...
phew. stumbled to 2/3... now to list.
and now i really am off...
i guess i wasnt strong enough....
bye, uusue2
my mrs was strong for me.and the rock i lean on when i falter
i am sorry carlee,did not mean to bring up bad memories
We didn't know what we were going to do financially, and had just bought a new car...but with the disability payments we can do it...God was good, but there were many tearful nights after he went to bed
its ok crossy....am just having a super blue day
we each do what we can and when we are are the limit of what we can do,the world can ask for no more
No carleekat, you can't go there, every situation is different; my hubby was so childlike
and there were days....it could have turned out different
and my illness is different as well carlee,hold no blame for yourself
And let me tell you, I was resentful, angry...he didn't share some problems two years ago...having supportive people around us helped too...

Cross, make hay while the sun shines. I've been told my cholesterol is creeping upwards, so bacon and egg yolks are gone from my diet. Let me tell you how boring an egg white on toast is.
like ingels down south
very much like ingels...
hi all...Molly...add salsa to the egg white. Better than plain!
Ah, ty grocery chain. We see Overwaitee in B.C. probably misspelled.
they have an amazing store product line....fab quality... lauralyn of ingels not quite as good but not bad PC is much more extensive then lauralyn
Actually Champ, I've been putting Prudhomme's salt free seasoning on it. Nice flavor.
they do have some interesting stuff
yes,i am sure i will need a slat alternative very soon
Oooh...that sounds good. I'm an egg-white person, and just add lots of veggies and spicy stuff.
their hot fudge and hot caramel sauces are to die for
salt
We have Trader Joe's for interesting foods.
so,just hide it eh champ? lol
Salt is everywhere crossy...so hard to work around.
alrighty kids.... i'm off to do some reading. have a lovely afternoon, and luck in the grid :)
crossy..for salt alternative.....have mrs crossy find an epicure dealer...their spice blends are very very low sodium and so yummy
Hello everybody
We gave Trader Joe's too Gran Mere. But I have yet to be in one. Whenever I go somewhere different, grocery wise, it's the Amish market.

Soodle, I found some daffodils popping up here too. Hooray!!

Its been a long winter, Champ.. I was beginning to despair of ever seeing Spring.
Hello soodle. I'm glad the irish Spring is here. We have snowdrops, crocusi blooming.
Yay for Spring!
I can imagine...but don't you think it's a little soon to make the call?
I don't. I can smell it in the air here.
Of course it is, Champ. But the promise is there.....

hey all ((Hugs and choclits))
*Throws choclits and hugs at Stid before she runs out of here again*
hey Molly!
taking a five-minute break; finished the reading for Tuesday.
How are you doing, hard working, weary woman?
VERY tired, actually Molly -- so much to do, so little motivation.
Ah, as I am wont to say...I am motivated to do nothing.
*popping in from lurking to say* Hi Stid!
sounds like a fine vocation, Molly! LOL
And yet I did loads of laundry, mopped, cleaned the bathrooms, made Valentine's cookies and I still have ironing to do. Oh, and I did feed the boy...lucky child. : D
I was going to say I was motivated enough for both of us but I certainly wasn't as motivated as MollyL LOL
hey mcurl!
wow Molly -- I want to make valentines... but not sure I can justify the time. We'll see...
how goes school stuff Stid?
today, not well mcurl. I am overwhelmed, overtired and completely unsure what to do to get back on track.
wish I could give some sage advice but I'm fresh out this week...I'm still trying to "like" my new print shop space...
I didn't get enough sleep last night (long story) so trying to work today through a fog and headache.
otherwise, to be honest I think I am making some connections that a few weeks ago were unattainable. And that is what learning is all about.
wish I could help you with that, mcurl.
(((hugs))) stidy!!
it certainly is! I'm even seeing some growth in my little person. It's hard to like a space that has been considered "unusable" for students/staff classes and yet it's ok for me....but getting better
hey jilly!
(((mcurl))) you want to plan on a coffee date that first week of April (I will have spring break then)?
Hello my peeps!
Hi Mark
I would love to but at this point we are still planning on a trip to southern CA to visit some friends...didn't spend much time with them last summer as 113 degrees in the shade was to darn hot for me so promised to go back over spring break.
i need clues for the last two qu 5
oh, that's okay -- spring is the BEST time to go down there!
Cos, one sounds like penny, nickle, dime.
ey Mark! how did your concert go last week?
cos: qu+money c***
We do need to plan something though when weather is warmer perhaps?
ty! one left
Change the last consonant for the other one.
It was fabulous! Pirates of the Carribean was awesome!
then change the consonant to a cross one
yay go tit :)
I would like that, mcurl!
ty all
how is everyone today?
*big happy mama grin* I am so pleased for you, Mark!
I'm good Cos..how are you?
Nice job Mark!
Thanks, stid.
Cos, you made me laugh with "go tit" : D
lol oops :)
Loved that booby run today in the TI's
I amy even get to make my first ever trip to Hawaii sometime this summer. that's where son in law will be working. Daughter and granddaughter will be going over for some time during the summer.
does that mean i have to go to the pb?
hey cos. I'll make it. Even if right now all I want to do is hide and eat lots of choclits.
No Cos. What's on the docket for you and Ryan for Valentine's Day?
*waves forgiveness wand*
Thanks, jilly. How are you? Mcurl, I love Hawai'i. I go every winter break!
that will be most wonderful, too, mcurl! it's a lovely state.
ah nothing. he has to work tomorrow. so .. ill just watch tv
Things have settled out a bit in my life (I know what you feel stid!). For now on an even keel.
COS!! celebrate TONIGHT...
my mrs is getting a new 24 inch lcd monitor so she can see the computer a bit, some nice tea roses and a nice brunch at her fav eatery for vlantines
he works tonight as well
I've always wanted to go but could never really afford it. Now, we'll have a place to stay. he'll be in Hilo and I understand that island is not as "touristy"
oh that is very lovely, cross! nice plan.
theyre training him to be the new store manger so he has to work a lot but itll be worth it in the end
I want to go over to Hawaii with my coworker...she grew up there...what a tour we would have!
valentines
*Mind melding Ryan to get something nice for his loved one on Valentine's Day*
he did mention maybe goingout to lunch tomororw
Nice Crossy...good hubby!!
I only know Oahu a little bit, went to visit a boyfriend about 20 years ago. A lovely place, and the north side of the island was very non-touristy.
good hubby...do i get a cookie? lol
My son has a coworker with family in Hilo and I know he would set up some "tours" with them.....knowing someone who knows the best places is always fun.
Oh, that will be nice Cos. Hope it's a nice lunch. Cross, lovely presents for your lady. I'm sure she will appreciate them.
and a gold star on your forehead crossy
Hey crossy!
Well, today is my hubby's B-day so we always go out for both today...
he vision is really getting bad and a standard 17 inch monitor just does not cut it anymore
howdy mark
*reaches over to pat crossy on back*
okay, I am completely stuck on 20. Heading back to work and back later when I need another break. ***hugs and more choclits*** *poof*
crossy back leg starts twitching.....
bye stiddy!!
Bye stid!
Down boy down!!
CROSSY! Stop talking in third person. It bothers me. Grammar alert! Grammar alert!
Once a teacher.....
Jilly, I am in late teens. However, both parents were teachers.

*Shakes head in skepticism*
Crossy...the quintessential lady's man!!
i will make a utter fool out of myself just to hear my beloved laugh sometimes
apparently lady gaga is wearing a silver egg atthegrammys
Good grief...
You watch those?
voice of age again mark!!
i think i am the only homo who doesnt like her. and no mark i dont i read it on lilmonkey's facebook status
i only watch the Oscars and the Emmys
Jilly, is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Cross, if you don't mind my asking, does your Mrs. have macular degeneration? My Mom had that. If you do mind, just ignore me.
Good when it comes to Lady Gaga!!
firewords! te7 was my last - thanks all cluers
Cos, your dislike of Gaga has nothing to do with your sexual orientation. It has to do with your good taste.
What happened to the good old days of rock and roll, when the only thing in danger were the chickens...now let's see who can figure that one out...
WTG dan!
it is ok molly,she has a rare eye disease where her body attacks her eyes with inflamation back behind the lenses and it blocks the light and distorts the vision
Ever notice how 2Bit just hangs around in the corner until he gets fireworks? : P
WooT WooT WooT dan2!!!
it is a recurring think and her vision can be stabalized with laser surgery every 3 monbths and can hold at 20/400..for now
Sorry to hear that Cross. I'm glad she has someone who loves her and takes good care of her.
*ditto's molly's remark*
Molly, do you ignore me for the fun of it?
ty ladies,she is fine and brave,and i have spent the last 2 years showing her all the wonders of nature that i can think of...just i case
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzL9Vop 6ch4&feature=player_embedded
Does anyone think that Molly will talk to me ever again?
ill talk with you mark,we can talk about..oh i do not know....BACON!
Alice Cooper Jillyjill :) Evening everyone!
Crossy, I am a vegetarian!
crossy is fond of bacon you know mark;))
oh interesting show on the history channel! "UFOs in the Bible"

*laughing* hi angela
Give it a rest, cos! No, just kidding.
Or maybe it will, crossy.

Crossy!
I am disgusted.
poor mark
Nice crossy!!
i can make you a nice tofu burger
Yum. I have bacon at least 3-4 times a week for breakfast...love it!
Yes, crossy. Poor mark.
i saw theese veggie dogs today at the store
Hey crossy, hubby wants to look at the bacon weave..can you post the link again?
Actually order bacon on my veggie burgers when I dine out - totally confuses people.
Who knows? Mark Twain never ate bacon! ((Samuel Clemens))
coming up jilly....
That it would Angela!
http://www.holytaco.com/if-i-die-bacon -related-death-id-it-be-because/
local restaurant makes a vegan nut burger - on which bacon is delicious!!

Ah. Thx, crossy!

no worries...bacon is one of the glorious allowances on the Atkins diet :)
no problem you crazy vegan you! :)
CROSSY! Not Vegan. Vegetarian.
Why am I engaging in this discussion...I am on a diet...
ahh lol,i do not care if you only eat things that do not cast a shadw! we are all babble buddies
Crossy, why did you bring up bacon in the first place?
why do i always bring up bacn?
Actually, I think it was me Mark.....
You are hilarious today, crossy!
brb
See ya Jilly
changed my icon to honor whoever it was that brought it up...
celery does not bother me bacon should not be a world ending insult to you.i have many vegetarian frieds and i am always offering them glorius meat dish just to mess with them
It isn't an insult, it's just...annoying when I keep getting reminded. Celery is great though!
i have a jewish friend he he looks at me with horror whist i am making a weave
i am also Jewish.
shalom,you veggie maniac!
lol
Uggghh.
I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be able to leave the house if you didn't want to be reminded of the meat eating world...
lol crossy :)
B'rukhim habayim.
Vegetarian Jews unite. You have nothing to lose but stuffed derma.
Thanks, kap. But when did this conversation become about anee?

I wass just responding to the last post.
Ah, atah.

ti + hea**** help you stay warm.
lmao crossy...what a slip up!
hmmm
crossy is trying to imagine kosher veggie sausages....
got it thanks mark!
good clue mark
I could never understand why people would offer me things like vegetarian chopped liver that taste like the real thing. Do they think I can't live without the taste of liver?
i wonder if there is veggie bacon?
Do people serve meat dishes and say- "try it! You'd never know it's not tofu!"
There is crossy..
And thats fireworks.
There is veggie bacon.
i hear they do
LOL kaplan
yaa for cosdem!!
WooT WooT WooT cos!!

Oh my god, is there tempeh in this? I can't eat it- I'm a carnivore!

but thank you
just cut the horns off and the tail,wipe the butt and serve it to me;)))))
had 2 for dinner tonight
lol cross
lol
crossy is bad
I had gyros from pita pit tonight. Yum.
but funny
we can talk about raw food creations now if you like
go for it!
I haven't eaten meat since 1975.
meat = yum. I had a medium rare sirloin steak at texas roadhouse last night. it was heaven.
wow - if I went more than a couple of weeks without a good ribeye I don't know what i'd do...
Never eat anything bigger than your head.
you take two pieces of bread, slather with mayo, add fresh tomato slices, lettuce and.........
i tried to give up meat once. on day 3 i gave in when i drove past mcdonalds and had a craving for mcnuggets
Add BACON
been craving a steak myself
squrrels are smaller than my head,and they each have a pair of drumsticks;)
Ahhh, the lurking carnivores are coming out of hiding!! Hi Shirloc
mcnuggest are so far from real meat it is not funny
I am going to have dinner. None of you would like it. It's just some vegetarian swill.
lol crossy i know but i love them
Bloodthirsty babblers.
mcnuggest are all beaks and entrails;(
I eat both ways Kaplan...omnivore here
lol
i generally don't eat that much meat but i would NEVER give it up
mmmmm tripe
pigs' feet. Sweetbread. Kishke. TONGUE!
tbh ,i eat more fish than cow,but i love a wel prepared black angus steak from time to time
i second that jilly - a friend makes these vegan cupcakes that are amazing! No eggs, dairy, sugar...no idea what's in there but it's GOOD!!
vietnamese pho with tripe! yum
my da used to love blood and tongue sausage
as a kid I liked tongue sandwiches till one day my mother rolled out the real thing- a big fat cow tongue was sitting on our table.
and it was pointing at me.
lol
I enjoy good vegetarian food very much. They used to have a restaurant in Missoula that made the most delicious hot veggie salad...
Laugh all you want Crossy, but it was a moment of true horror.
Tongue comes from TONGUE???????
EWWWWWWWWWWWW.
I don't want to taste anything that's tasting me back...no tongue here. ;)
Actually, what I'm concerned with is the mass 'manufacturing' of our food....we focus on eating local...
"Do you have frog's legs?"
hi y'all Someone asked about vegetarian bacon? http://tinyurl.com/4autvnp

hi TO
Welcome to the food network chog....lol
Good evening All.
hey nef
lol
howdy nef
Crossy, have you seen "Food Inc"?
nope
Hi Nef!!
It's a chilling exposure of the American food industry...go on youtube to catch the preview...
hi angela, crossy, Jilly, and all.
hi nef
Nef..want an update on hubby?
jilly,i have been in meat rendering plants,nothing can chill me,i have prepped meat right from the bush to the table as well
and you are much better off going out and shooting it yourself
yes I do, Jilly. I haven't seen you for a while so I don't know what's happened. How is he? what did he find out?
or growing it yourself
Not to mention the growth hormones, conditions of the animals, or feeding them feed made from dead cows....
I think you knew he had atypical narcolepsy with the sleep apnea. Meds appeared to return him to 'normal' but testing showed functioning in areas of frontal lobe diminished. They thought meds would correct in 4-6 months, released him to work immediatly. No allowances made at work, so he is now off on disability as the deficits slowed him down.
DANG!
Wow Jilly, that's a big load for you and your husband to be carrying.
So how is he doing?
(mentally, emotionally, etc) ANd how are YOU doing?
Well, I am thankful that his personality returned and a I am no longer married to a stranger....some concern with future, but he paid in for both short term and long term disability so financially we're OK.

Jilly do you have any support?
we are eaating people!!!!!!!..i love charlton heston in that
We are actually both doing very well; the financial thing was really hanging heavy...we also filed a grievance against his (our) employer.
love that movie...so disturbing!
what's going to happen now?
We eat whatever is for sale at the grocery store. We could have been eating people for years. : P
Waiting game, we asked that the employer hold his job til 4 months of treatment and that his disciplinary action be expounged from his record since it was due to a medical condition. But if he still can't function at that point, then it's back for more testing
And Molly and Angela...I SO agree
been reading your updates Jilly...hoping the best for you guys
Thanks angela
so, how long til the 4 months are over (we haven't talked about this for several weeks or a month even)
for those interested in the trailer for Food Inc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eKYyD1 4d_0
first of April
And now, how is your hubby nef?
Good Grief! that's not a great day for that big of a decision
Want to know what's even funnier, our hospital is putting a new computer system in...go live date is April 1st!
My Dear Hubby is doing well. He has good days and bad; I try to keep him on track --most of the time
Oh, Man, Jilly! That is even worse!
thret
nice nef.. ;)
sorry. NOT a WORD
warning, twisty grid ahead...
first word in 30 min;/
72 words left and I'm wondering why I started this grid... :-/
thought we'd lost you there Crossy!
i still have 64 left nef and it is kickin my butt
Nef, it comes and goes, took about 2 hours for me
nope,still here,wife wanted me to pay attn to her or some silly thing:))
Bad husband *removes pat on back*...lol
50 left here and I swore i would just left it after halfway. not so much I guess :)
*leave it
well, here to clue for awhile if anyone needs it. I had to list when I hit the re words
Thankfully, quite a few babblets....
re words? Again? Yuk
Hey, at least we have Lickety!!
true
I can NEVER stop a grid once I start...some competitive nature that I have
(that was a comment, not an attempt to find a word...)
lol
so Jilly, you avioded answering my question: how are YOU doing?
how many re words are there please?
Sorry, sorta tried to answer earlier. Actually very well, it's nice to have the man I married back, not having to change jobs for $$ (or leave youth ministry that I love), finances ok...I'm only concerned if it will return for him
9 re words
9 re words
thanks for the re words. ANd Jilly, I'm glad you're doing okay
(hiding the fact that there are tu words ahead)
Hey there Mary - looks like we joined around the same time :)
Yep, think that was the roughest patch we've had in 29 years of marriage...but we have pulled thru
acck! look at all the t words i am missing
Neff too!
breath crossy, breath
de8?
de8?
LOL, Angela. THewre were tons of us who joined in 2005
genesis, exodus, de******omy
Nice une...
how about the no 5/10, please?
hey jilly :-)
really? is that when it started up?
i have an no5/10 that plural of french black
thx uni
slap me with a fish, thanks, une
:-D
Ye gads. Just ended a 3+ hour session as an online tutor - my first. Remind me to schedule shorter blocks next time.
thanks unea!
yw :-)
Wow uusue...what subject?
sounds exhausting, sue!
hi uusue
Physics.
Angela, there are members who joined in 2004, maybe earlier
oop, i wandered off again
My brain is mush.
double wow
I mean, it's what I do anyway, but 3 hours straight is too much!
the grid won't help...
hi all... no list and struggling with last two words. hoping they are enable specials
oh 3 hours of anything straignt is too much
oh...i thought I had seen some 2004 people at some point...didn't realize there were so many that joined in 2005 though.
my brain would be mush too after 3 hours of on-line tutoring! Do you ever find out how the student does?
3 hours of massage would be nice...
i don't know about that angela... i don
t think i could take it
Well, I can see if I've helped them with the problem they came in with.
and hello dorens :)
dorens...are you speaking of the ut and ye words...the ye is a babblet
not if you were the one GIVING the massage, Angela
nope nothing nearly so interestng jilly... a d and an e and they're both five letter words
of course nef! gotta be on the receiving end for that...
And a couple of them had been through 1-2 other tutors who hadn't been able to help, so I was glad that I could sort them out.
ouch
I did have a massage earlier today, actually (at the home show) but I think it wore off :-)
ey5/14 x 2 dorens
three hours of tutoring physics might just do that, sue
well, need to change. Today is hubby's birthday so we're going out to dinner...may bbl....love and ((hugs)) to all
could I get a clue for the st 6/21. My last word and I ccan't seem to monkey it...
see ya jilly
bye, jill! Have a great time!!
ok, interesting une... i have one of them (it's a plural). thanks
have fun, jilly!
i st**** into the room, buff
strongly walking buff girl!
i think i have the same ey you do, dorens!
Thanks all *poof*
wish i could find eeyore
Bye, Jilly. Have fun!
Good grief. I just checked back in, to find Dorens walking around naked.
lol, molly!
watch your commas molly (or should I say watch MY commas?)
anyway I have 37 to go, may or may not finish
got it! (the other ey)
Thanks, Jilly! Got it and fireworks.
Yeah, you watch your commas. St****** into a room buff is bold.
what? i get accused of walking around naked and you don't thank ME??
the comma WAS there, molly!!
Obviously, I didn't realize you were responding to someone with the user name buff. But it did make me laugh.
Thanks, Molly.
YAY, buffgirl!!! WTG!!!
last time i clue buff (and no comma!)
so am I going to have to monkey the last ey, or is it a word that I actually might recognize?
lolololololololol
monkey away sue unless you want a clue
ey + most of french word "to laugh"
thx, une!
;) nice clue une!
yw :-)
Incidentally, une, I am curious about your name - are you from aix-en-provence, or aix-les-bains, or some such?
so now working on a d 5... is it a fish? (the only d5 I have is a plural)
do5 one who gives
oh, too easy.. merçi une!
and the fireworks appear..........
i seem incapable of staying in one url tonight...
congrats dorens!
yay dorens!
sue, I studied in Aix-en-Provence and married an Aixois (long divorced but he also lives in Nashville and at long last we're very friendly) :-)
congrats, dorens
wtg doren!
Ah. Sounds nice (aix-en-provence and the friendliness, both)
Way to go Dorens!!! Fireworks and buff as well!!
I lived in Geneva for a year, and visited for several summers after that; also traveled around a lot.
i just got the nerve up to check the forecast for florida (going for long weekend friday morning). and it predicts highs of 78 - 80 the whole time. yayayayay!
I like France...
YAY, Dorens!!! WTG!!!
OK, dorens, I am officially jealous.
wow, that is great
how can we not like france, sue?
i never think to do anything like that
ah, you really wouldn't be jealous if you knew the rest of my life, honestly
sue, your physics babblets are fascinating! I had no idea!
:-)
I added quite a few from today's grid!
oohhh, Geneva, lovely part of the world
Yes, I was very fond of it. haven't been back in over 10 years, though (change of job situation)
i have a bestest buddy who owns a condo in south beach on the beach... I do not like miami, really... much prefer sanibel or any other island, but if all i have to pay is my airfare and cook omelettes in the morning, buy food and wine for the place... .I think it is a no=brainer. + she and i both like to walk on the beach and otherwise read, read, read (and drink wine)
sounds terrific, dorens!
sounds wonderful, dorens, and should be very relaxing.
(i, too, like the physics babblets sue. I always put those words in, but don't really understand them)
That's about as close to perfect as it gets Dorens. Have a wonderful time.
same here, dorens
glad you like them! just my little contribution to scientific literacy :-)
of course i will still be babbling... thanks to the laptop ken bought me. you wouldn't even know i was gone!
une. you;re not on facebook are you?
mmmm,fresh celery and cheese whiz....
with bacon
nope,no bacon in da house atm;((
yes, i'm on facebook
but i don't update it very much -- very halfhearted effort LOL
sounds pretty good, actually, crossy!
What is with y'all Canadians and Cheese Whiz. Dan wouldn't have anything to do with Velveeta, but would eat Cheese Whiz by the barrel. All Cheese Whiz is, is melted Velveeta. : P
OK, I really hate it when I monkey around forever and then find a perfectly normal word :-(
velveeta, ack
excuse me people, it's CHEEZ WHIZ ! please spell it correctly!
indeed monkey LOL
i mean, get a grip!
Velveeta is ack, but Cheez Whiz (thank you Lil) is okay?
ok une... i found something very very funny from sue, and just emailed it to you, since you don't check your facebook often (and i don't even know if we're friends there)
haven't had cheez whiz in YEARS
will check it out -- thanks, dorens :-)
i think i might have eaten cheezwhiz in college, before the little refrigerator in your own dorm room days!
une you will LOVE this
Up next? Spray cheese/cheez in a can.
doren: if you ate a cheesesteak, odds are good
no, not at Pat's. owl! no way
they are not the only place that uses whiz
I'm sorry. Nothing belongs on a cheese steak but provolone.
uh uh! at least not back before 1973, which is when I left Philly. they used provolone
*High fives Dorens*
what passes as provolone. real provolone won't melt.
Pat's Dorens??
puts Velveeta in the PB for doren's next visit
oh ru... oh ru... i really just burst out laughing.. which is so weird to do in an empty house1
*and a degree from Chico University*
yes angela, pat's the king of steaks
When I lived in NJ I went to a Pat's Pizzeria in National Park...is that the same place?
i like geno's of the two, but neither is a place i would go willingly
*high fives molly back*. owl, i don't care what it was, but it wasn't cheezwhiz that's for sure
dorens, that is simply BRILLIANT!!!! Have soooo many friends to send it to LOL!!
Wow, I am on some kind of roll - down to 20 now!
there are better steaks around
There's a National Park in NJ?
That's the name of the town ruru...National Park. It's one square mile.
Was that the Memory song, dorens?
yes!
no, sorry angela. there are many pat's pizza's and patsy's pizza's,,, but only one pat's king of cheese steaks ru... sandy hook is the national park...
oh.. weird
Une, that was from sue!
uusue, thanks for the babblets list. It's very useful today
someone said pizza...
whatever. tome to get ready for grammys. doren have you ever been to art area of lincoln center
yw, nef!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzSaoN2 LdfU
It's right near Thorofare and Deptford. Must be a different Pat - still amazing cheesesteaks though!
for everyone else... you have to check this out if you are over 50... it was from sue, give credit where credit is due
<--- never had a cheesesteak
me either, ru
off to watch the BAFTA's on BBC -- later! *poof*
philly junk food... shaved beef, not really steak imho, but Pat's happens to make it with really good bread (italian) and nice greasy onions and peppers.
I had a Hoagie once in Pittsburgh though
being from new england I went in and asked for a steak and cheese grinder and they looked at me like i had three heads...
(maybe you do?)
cheesesteaks are a Philly thing I guess. I've had the frozen pre-packaged ones from Schwan's before; but never a real one
Um, real provolone melts very well.
EVERY time i copy a url from the chog it does not work
never was able to bring myself to ask for a "hoagie" - felt very odd
I like my cheesestake with cherry peppers....em em good.
*checking* - nope, just one
OK, I forget where I found the video..if I figure it out I will also give proper credit - but somehow I seem to have forgotten :-)
lol
owl, go to youtube and enter pam peterson memory, you'll get it that way
i see janet jackson is spilling all the family secrets on tv and in her new book
um: our italian family gets it from the italian store, it is crumbly and does not melt, what goe son steaks is liek american cheese
I had posted that one several days ago here; got it from a nurse friend...
angie, when i lived in philly, i learned to do it... never did it again once i left
45 to go, but am too tired... night all! I'll be dreaming of bacon :)
bye bye angela
ah hah!!! There you go - I got it from nef!!!
felt so weird dorens...i caved and asked for a sub instead.
mmm bacon
hahaha... so nice that we all understand each other. and good night all
good night dorens
lol crossy - night night! *poof*
bighty night doren
Okay, so if "real" provolone cheese doesn't melt, what do you use it for?
nighty night that is
niters, Dorens
*knew that ruru*
niters, Angela
appetizer and dessert with fruit and nuts, it is very sharp and crumbly.
wow I am down to my last 16, all of them beginning with t :-P

hi Kaplan

This is my favorite time of year. It all is going in the right direction.

I am trying to get an icon for valentines day
whooooo hooooo UU!!

13 Qu words! my goodness!
google. typed in valentines day then clicked on images
hi crystalle, hi jen
ok
hi lbd
Lady Gaga just popped out of her egg
she has sort of a pineapple slice on her head now
oh wait, she took it off
Did you all hear what lady gaga wants her perfume scent to be? she really is gaga
What?
I haven't heard about the scent. Does she want it t be crotch smell?
semen, sweat and dried blood
that darn u word gets me every time
oh she is strange, but not original. She looks & shounds exactly like Madonna right now.
I am not sure people want to smell like that
gag!
I am so inordinately tired of the Gaga ego show.
She has more musical talent than Madonna.
I can't imagine why anyone would want to smell like that. She's GOT to be kidding!
She's got us talking, right?
Yes she does Kap. And she ruins it with her theatrics.
She can play piano with her feet. Classical.
Never heard her, really ot interested
Let's not be geezers here...
Give me Gaga or give me ...
Uh...
LOL, Kap. I am a geezer and don't give a whit!
I'm not a geezer. And I appreciate musical talent. But not when it gets mixed up with insane behavior.
alas, kap. i am a geezer when it comes to celebrities.
what is the last ey5,14 pleae?
Gaga over Kardashian any day. Or this obsession with Jersey Shore.
ey + **ce Krispie t*eats
thank you lbd!
There is a difference between Gaga and the Jersey shore bimbettes?
de8 pls?
Book of Bible minus last 3 letters
Are you asking, Molly?
I am a mother of a young girl who thinks that these celebs are cool. When Lady gaga says in an interview that she sees no problems in young women sleeping around and actually encourages try before u buy ..it makes me an old geezer where celebs are concerned
thx kap
I have 2 daughters.
whoever is singing right now is twangy and horrible
daughters are hard!
I have a teenage daughter too and she doesnt listen to what they say or do but likes the music and yes I do know where she is at night ----hello everyone
hi river
hi, river!
I am fighting a nasty cold so need to go to bed soon but wanted to say hello
my daughter wants to dye her hair at the moment. You should hear all the reasons why I should let her
I thank God on a regular basis that I don't have young girls when the role models for them these days are so unappealing.
drink lots of liquids and get lots of rest, river
And I work in a pregnancy resourse center. Most of our young pregnant women are between the ages of 21 and 26; but I'm sure that they have heard that before too; and it's possible that they ended up in their situations because of our media and they think "everyone is sleeping around (I mean, they see it on TV, right?)
"Everyone's doing it."
been there but mine never did it
gaga was really madonna-esque, i agree, monkey. her voice is better, though.
This Twangfest better end soon before I kill somebody.
we grew up with our own radical singers....not much different really just more broadcast....its up to the parents to talk to their kids and make sure they understand and to watch what they are doing....luckily mine are so involved with sports and academics they dont have time for anything else
I don't know, Nef- there are a lot of faactors- internal motivation and self-concept and all - it's compelx. I'm not disagreeing with you, necessarily
crystalle, pick your battles carefully with your daughter. Hair grows out; tattoos don't
Lenny Kravitz HOT HOT HOT as usual
i can'twait for mick!
My daughter also wants to join face book. The reasons why i should let her are becoming quite good ( not good enought for me to let her)
When I win the lottery, I am going to do away with every female singer who sings through their nose. And every female singer who runs notes up, down and all around instead of just singing.
Oh they'll probably have to wheel him out in a chair
how old is your daugher crystalle
muse is so overexposed
Did Lenny Kravitz arrive in an egg? I rest my case. : P
I don't see how the lottery is going to give you the power to do that, Molly
I have my evil ways, Lil. : P
she is definitely becoming creative in her arguments. She is 11 so too young for hair dyes yet I think.
and wondering if dylan can sing tongiht, you nver kno with him.
I'm curious about a duet between CeLo and Gwyneth Paltrow? Sounds like a very bad joke
What are u guys watching?
my kids are on facebook and have been for awhile (not that young though - started at 13) but I made sure I was friended so can see what they are doing. Most of their friends actually friended me to my surprise so I have no problem with that.
We are watching the Grammys, crystalle
my goodness rhyming slang is acceptable? What next?
did you hear about the glee espidose where she sang F*** you? as forget you, however.
Would that be the Harry Nillson song?
time for bed for me feeling crappy still - see you all tomorrow - happy babbling all
i hope u feel better soon river
"You're breaking my heart, you're tearing it apart...."
no , rastafolk, :)
bye river, feel better
rest well, river
Crystalle, I let my dtr. use the hair color rinses when she was 13; no bleaches or permanent dyes til she was over 16 and payiong for it herself. She also had to pay for anything she managed to get the dye on (towels, bathroom floor, etc)
everyone thinks it will win a grammy. there was a large front page artvile on it in the paper today. about if the word ahs gained acceptability.
i am looking forward to jenelle monet, i like her
nite, River. Take care and drink lots of fluids
Nef, that is a fair way to do things. You are making her responsible for her decisions and the consequences of those decisions. Good Mom!
Nef, my daughter finds tattoos and piercings to be vulgar. I was going to look into the colour rinses nef.
hi
Do the colour rinses cause any damage to the hair?
hi button
my daughter managed to get the rinse stuff on some towels right away and it didn't come out. She had to pay for new towels for me; and that really hurt (since her only $$$ source was from doing chores)
anytime you add chemicals to your hair (or other body parts) you're going to do some damage, it just depends on how much and how often it's done
how is it going Ida?
stuck on that ro5/6/7... are they all related?
yes lil
never mind, I just pulled a Periwinkle
your hair is basically dead, though (outside the root) so will grow out
I need help with the second no 4/4 please
monkey, is there any acts you are looking forward to tonight or rooting for?
crystalle, it doesn't do too much harm; but not all of the temporary rinse completely out (I think Manic Panic was the worst). But she'd dyed her hair dark green; so she knew she couldn't do anything else til the green was gone
reverse 3rd and 4th letters, Buttonman
seaweed, button
re there any, sorry
yes TO, I want to see Rhianna
here is jenelle!
thanks monkey
I don't have anyone named Jennelle... it is Burno Mars
at one point my son asked me what I would do if he dyed his hair pink (he was about 16); I said nothing, as it was his hair. He never did dye it.
Although he did totally shave his head at one point...
I think I will discuss a rinse with her.
jenelle monet
I am saying "at one point" too much. Must be time for dinner.
Does anyone have nice plans for Valentines Day
staying home alone as per usual
my son did the same thing, UU. i just told him whatever he did, he had to live with it. i only had to look at it. then told him it wasn't my fault if he made me laugh.
as I said, hair does grow out. But your dtr. is still pretty young (IMHO) for any hair colors, even the temporary ones. Is she in a group where they are doing that?
i am just loving the return of the soul singer, actually first time to see bruno.
mine was away at college when he shaved his head, lbd, so I didn't really have to see it. Just as well. probably.
Now Jennelle is singing
I'm sure she thinks she original but she's just a Grace Jones wannabe
mine has done the mulluck, sumo, bald, hippy dippy, and i've just grinned. my biggest rule was keep it clean.
need a clue for the middle pr 5/12 please
i love her concept album, she really can sing, have you heard tightrope?
pr + charged particle, button
change the last consonant on the last pr5/12, button
damn who is playing that beautiful red guitar
a couple of her friends have been allowed to. One of them has had 6 or 7 different hair colours in the last year
thanks, i do not know why i could not c that
she was awesome
at age 11? Wow.
i question the parent who would allow a child to have that done to her hair. just makes me wonder.
haha there's an oxymoron! "great country song"
I would rather she waited and as she adores her hair if I explain it could do some damage I might be able to talk her out of it. Maybe I could trade her. I let her wear black nail polish and she leaves her alone for now
I question that kind of parent too lbd.
hair alone*
oh Miss Twangfest just won a grammy
ooh monkey, your favorite! ;)
oh yall thanks yall so much it means the world to me
crystalle; let her know that she whatever she does with her hair it will have to stay that color til the rinse is totally gone. It may slwo her down
who is miss twangfest?
I think she wants the black nail polish to freak me out lol. I am pretty sure she will only use it once or twice because she likes colours lol.
lbd, I don't know her real name, but she's right up there with fingernails on a chalkboard
Twangers winning Grammys are why I think the Grammys are a big joke now.
arcade fire is awesome though
Lady Antebellum is OK, not too twangy
Lady Antebellum is good music. Refreshing in the midst of Gaga and Katie Perry.
st6 please?
am looking at the website of a classmate who quit her jobe to study art,, interesting.
walked forcefully, lil
*whispering* I like Katie perry
ah! thanku, susu
You don't have to whisper Crystalle.
everyone has that one embarrasing song/ band/ singer they love. I just have a lot of them lol
There is very little about "popular music" that I like. I'm rooted in blues rock and roll and I find most of what passes for music today, very uninspiring.
I love ABBA
hey monkey the twanger didn't praise jesus did she?
you know Billy Ray Cyrus might get lots of bagging out over achy breaky heart but years and years later people still know the words to that song.
crystalle, my DH loves ABBA and also The Captain and Tenneil; don't feel bad.
unusual
*Sprinkles holy water on Lil* I love you anyway Lil.
Now Alvin & the Chipmunks are singing
aw, i think you have a crush on him :P
He is so offensive
but he's about your height , TO
HAHAHAHHAHA
Years later, people still remember the words to Giant Purple People Eater. That doesn't make it a good song, or good music.
you take him
(peeks in, sees the chat topic, recoils in horror)
no, i insist, really.
lol molly I like THAT song too.
Good point Molly! *singing the words to itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini *
hi
oh now the Chipmunk has a toddler rapping with him
Lil!!! I was going to use that song, but chose the People Eater one instead.
i watched for about 2 mins..and turned it off
So I know Purple People Eater but not Achy Breaky Heart. What does that say about me??
yes, who is the midget? bieber has a mini-me?
the midget is Will Smith's kid
oh, jaden
he just went backstage for a diaper change
Oh my God! Is there ANYWHERE that the Pinkett/Smith kids are not? The most over exposed kids in celebrity-ville.
agreed, Molly
I hate justin bieber. My daughter plays his cd over and over and over. If I ever meet that boy I just wanna slap him for being so annoying
sue, does it say you are -ahem!- older?
i thought pat monahan desrved his win thought foks got sickof that song, the vocal was great
beiber was born and raised about 1 hour from where i live
sue, it means you are safe from the baneful influence of country music. good for you! LOLOL
*Getting in line behind Crystalle to slap the Beiber creature*
hey monkey you are wonrg, i think he is TALLER than me LOL
hey, madonna grew up about 5 miles from where i grew up. but do i have missiles for boobies? nope!
oh probably
I wish Paramore was performing
tee hee, gwen and nef - I am indeed older, and hopefully safe from country music as well (actually classical is more my style)
Carlee, smudge your living space.
and i am not watching...
i was simply offering it as a bit of trivia...sorry i bothered....g'nite
well lookee here, they are finally giving out an award
i vote for neal yojng
oh good lord, Neil Young is there?
hey carlee!
why would he go to something like that?
Wow Carlee, that was just a joke. Goodnight.
carlee where do u live
i don't know if he is there, but he was nominated
Molly may I cut in line infront of you to smack Justin Beaber?
it takes me a long time (usually) to form an opinion of a recording of a song. giving big awards so soon is silly, IMO
*Making room for Lil*
thanks Molly *practicing slapping motion*
I agree gwen.
my fav song right now is Adele "Rolling with the Deep" i think it's called
ooh i do love this adele song, she is adorable
I wouldn't call her adorable, but that song is powerful. Very good lyrics
i am so out of the loop. I have no idea who half these people are u r talking about.
then again, i can form an opinion of a movie pretty darn fast (usually)
me neither, crystalle!
i saw here last year, she was, but very short on songs to perform.
It helps if your TV is on CBS right now.
re6 the 2nd?
Gwen, some movies just suck.
sorry crys
and seriously, just because a singer is "cute" or whatever, they do not deserve an award, especially if they can't sing

I thought maybe it was a song from Oh Brother Where Art Thou, hahaha

mumford and sons are from london, i love the banjo
I guess no one told them that banjo plucking isn't exactly head-banging music
ti6/7 iclue pls>

ti = mammalian protruberance + the number after 3 (spelled wrong)

te 7/32:te* offensive plus ro 4/5 word 72 Temple Owl.
ty min, i just want to finish and get in bed and wait for the arcade fire to come on

te7 is one of the physics babblets in my profile, gwen

all kidding aside, dylan is the greatest living american songwriter. he writes poetry. he is an original.

If Burt Bacharach is still living, I'd have to say he is the greatest living songwriter
is he?
I just googled, yes he is still iving
what about jimmy webb?

c-mon, the greatest living songwriter is sondheim!
Jimmy Webb is still living, and his list of songs is quite impressive!!!!

mwaaaaaaaaaaaah!
i slaved all day baking those damn brownie bites for work tomorrow
Yum!
but really they are all for you TOR
each one has a little conversation heart on top of the frosting... in the olden days before electricity when I was a little girl, they said things like "Be Mine" and "Luv" now they say things like "Text me" and "N2 U"
They probably wouldn't travel the 3000 miles well, so share them with the lucky locals ..
pass me one lil, since the calories will be removed...
passes JIllyJill a plate of brownie bites
Night all.

Hello...
Jellen!! ((hugs))
hey, Jellen! How are you? Long time no see!
How was your birthday?
My birthday was good...today was not...
My cat Edgar died this morning...
I'm sorry about your kitty...last year we lost our kitty, and then our pup
first time our house without any pets...about killed me
But two wonderful young toms are with us now; never the same, but each cat is so unique
I'm sorry, Jellen.How old was Edgar?
But my Zima (lost last year) was one of a kind, and I still miss him dearly...
Edgar was 16
Good long life then. He was blessed to have you!
(((Jellen)))
(((Jellen)))
That is just not fair. I am indignant. *scowls at the fates*
I'm wondering about my one cat now...should I get her a kitten?
Jellen, what do you think? How old is your cat?
She's 11...
I would think that you both will need some company....
Yes...
Maybe a little older cat...the kittens can drive older ones nuts
I don't know much about cats... but is that likely to work? I mean, do they make friends that easily?
We've had anywhere from 1 to 4 cats at a time.
True...
On the toher hand, (and you are the only one who knows your cat!) a kitten might be accepted better than an older cat
I'll have to ponder it a bit...and ask my vet's advice...I'm taking Miss Max in for a checkup ASAP...
Many shelters these days have large rooms where the kittles get to socialize. Makes for better adjustments. Each cat is unique, you should give your current kitty a chance to see if she wants company. And remember, they grieve loss just like us.
good idea, Jellen -- to ask the vet and all.
You'll be healing each other
good idea, Jellen. What did Edgar die of?
I assume it was his heart...he seems to have died peacefully...
peacefully is good.
Must have been hard to find him this morning..((hugs))
So sorry, Jellen.
Yes, it was a shock...
do you know about the poem the Rainbow Bridge?
Well as delightful it is to have all your company...I must toddle off to bed, early and long day tomorrow..niters...
Yes, I have read it, Nef...
sweet dreams Jilly
G'night, Jilly
niters, Jilly
thanks stiddy...good luck to you!! better days!!
*poof*
May I please have a clue for au7-44? Thanks
no AU peach, what are you asking for?
It makes me cry every time I read it, Jellen; but it also provides a lot of comfort too
qu, Nef....sorry
I was deep into chocolate Jello pudding....
qu 7 looks like a malaria drug + robot ending
think latin 5 + andr***
mmmmm. pudding!
Thanks much, stidmama.
yw peach. I am down to 11. how about you?
tomorrow I have a "mock interview" and as I get closer to the actual event (first thing in the morning) the more nervous I become.
32 left, stidmama, don't know if I will finish or not....just plodding along.
it's not the easiest grid.
stid; it's a mock interview. This is just like any other test you'vehad; you have the ability to do this and pass with flying colors
ha! you have SO MUCH confidence in me, Nef! *sniffle, hugs* I intend to just bite the bullet and face down my panic. It's what I have to do every time I meet new people or get into a new situation. BUT -- if I could take my boys to visit Jill and Hetty using the public transportation system in Canada then I can do this.
You can do anything you set your mind to, stid!
:-D yep. I am a mother, I am a teacher. I can and will! **more hugs**
You CAN do this, stid. Just imagine that the interviewers are Babble friends that you haven't met yet
that's a good idea, Nef! for all I know they are... there is someone in the local area who used to babble (can't remember who) that I don't know. :-)
See? There you go!
ah. down to ten.
perhaps I should list -- if there is a list?
I'm down to 10 with Lickety and More Words (I don't usually use both!)
go Nef go!
listing...
Ps popped... down to 8
7 left now, all T's
Rs removed... 5.
go Nef go!!!!
four Ts for me.
four.
Go, Stid! You can do it!!!
two.
there is a ti 6/7 combo that always makes me laugh
I have that 1 already
firewords!
May I please have a clue for de8-50? Thanks
CONGRATS, STIDMAMA!!!!!
like the 5th book of the Old Testament, peach
YAY, Stid!!! WTG!!!!
Hooray for stid!
de8 also like the hydrogen in heavy water.
hey dfm!
(hi all :o))
(hi all :o))
and congrats stid! :o)
hi dfm
Hi, dfm
Thanks much, stidmama.
And thanks to dfm also.
finally, fireworks!
Hooray for Nef!
YAY Nef!!!
thanks, Jellen
okay, I should go take care of a couple more things before I head to bed. (((Hugs and choclits for all))) *poof*
G'night, stid
And it's my bedtime too. Good night and Happy Babbling, Everybody!
