What is wrong with your hand?
what's wrong Ru?
too much smacking my forehead.. lol

seriously.. I have injured my wrist playing tennis.. not sure what the damage is
carpal tunnel or tendon issues?
Hope it is not too serious - good luck
could be either
me too.. i've never had surgery or been knocked out
it will be a piece of cake... are you sure they will do surgery, or will they consider shots...
although my wife thinks a lobotomy is in order somedays...lol
maybe you can get 2 for 1 and make her happy

hello sprite
hi Sprite!
happy Valentine's Day to you all
and you, sprite
I forgot! (not such a big deal here). I hope you both got spoiled
it is not so big here either. My love doesn't go for things like this at all, so probably nothing today.
I forgot too, he took me for a long walk today, was lovely
how sweet
simple things are
drs. orders and I have a hard time getting around to it
yes, I agree lyn
something simple is all it takes, I agree, lyn
doctors orders? what has happened to you Flosey?
have a lot or arthritis, plus a minor back problem - inoperable, just bothers if on my feet too long, especially bending over sink, counters, etc
sweeping, vacuuming, etc. bothersome
have meds that help but also make me dizzy
ugh - I have only very minor back issues but know exactly what you mean - bending is awful - as is finding a comfortable way to sit
yes, too long at computer!!!
pain is a huge energy eater as well
yes, sprite, it sure is
yes
down to 35 and must get to bed
good night all
looks like I'll finish after all, didn't expect to
all the best, flosey, and sleep well
and along those lines I'm taking a break for a bit too. Night Flosey
bye lyn
thanks sprite
all the best to you too
guess I'd better lay down for a bit more too. Bye all, back later.

{{sally}}
this looks like a nice grid.
A Valentine's present from Dr_G!
yes it's not bad sally
does anyone else think there's an extra bo5/14?
Haven't got all the b's yet Flask. Do you mean extra to lickety? Or just that there is a word not accepted?
extra to lickety!
Oh, well I haven't listed yet so sorry, but will look out for it :-)
Lickety says 288 and babble says 288 so I would blame enable :)
Good morning FM. This is a lovely grid isn't it. So many words, I don't know where to look next.
Hi there Sally! HAven't started it yet and trying to be disciplined and get work stuff done first ... famous last words.
I can't see how you can re6/18 :-)
and failing miserable at the moment, just finished a 45 min phone call with my Godmother and have to give Mum a ring next. lol re the re6/18
Just a little starter for you :-)
bad bad Sally.
It is a lovely sunny day here too, is it with you?
Fairly bright, but still incredibly wet underfoot.
I want to do something outside which means running a long extension lead, and I just don't fancy it over such wet ground.
ditto re the wet - it poured down all day yesterday.
Oh what are you wanting to do?
You may regret asking :-) I clean out the overnight poo from the hen house every day, but about once a month I strip it out completely and spray it. At this time of year it doesn't dry well, so I planned to take a hair dryer over. I also steam clean it when I can, so need electricity for that too. TMI!
LOL funnily enough I did wonder if it was something to do with the chooks.
I do more housework over there than here, I can tell you. Mind you, we don't usually poo all over the floor :-))
I now also have an image of you using the hair dryer to fluff up the chickens.
LoL, no I dry the house, not the chooks!
Actually, I have heard of people using a hair dryer on them, when they show them.
*grin* - and on that interesting point I must be off for a while. Enjoy the grid.
bye for now FM.
Morning!
Hallo car, sorry had gone off to do something.
And now I am off for a bit....BB in a few...
morning, all!

Uusue, bye for now
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPwBVWi bRXQ please remember those who have fallen. tThey left angels here on earth. Chris is part of our family and he is the NJ officer we lost a month ago. Kelly was his fiancee. Today must be just horrible for her. Please pray for her and all the others.
thanks for the reminder, sue - I'm here in NJ and I know this story very well. I am buying myself a dozen roses today (my first valentine's day without my husband) and I will buy an extra one for Kelly...
Then I will be praying for others to find the love you had with your husband
Way to go JBV! Now THAT is taking good care of yourself.
thanks, sue - I have 33 years of wonderful memories
I decided I did not want to be sad all day so the flowers will brighten things up around here....
I asked my fiancee for a rose bush. I choose life.
Good decision JBV.
good morning, babblers - Happy Valentine's Day. and for those of you like JBV and Kelly - I will be thinking of you and hoping you find comfort in the good memories of your loved ones!
of course he has to plant it also
Good idea, sue
nice idea, sue -
Sue, I have two rose bushes and I love them. Good choice.
JBV, in the Jewish, we plant trees.
I pray everyday i will have 33 years with my man
another good idea - when the snow starts melting around here, I will definitely think about that
you are very cherished by God to have been granted that kind of time
my husband designed a little garden with a birdbath and fountain and I will put something in there especially for him
I am so totally kicking ass here, I have found 3 8's and only needed help with one
I had to open the list when I got down to 99 left
Ahh, but JBV, put it in for YOU, as he has an amazing garden now.
ok, sue, will do :)
I just realized something weird - my mother and father had been married exactly 33 years, too, when he died
spiritual connection with mom, many years later (I take these as signs from above)
mine were married 32, when my mother died
Morning again, all! Sue, sorry to see about the NJ police officer - I grew up in NJ so feel some connection -
JBV, I love the idea of buying yourself roses! How wonderful!
hello, help with the 10 pls
don't have it, peri, and the only 9 I have is already a plural
and don't forget Frank. He must be having a terrible time, missing dear NB
Yes, of course - love and strength to Frank -
thanks, uusue - and yes, I will buy an extra rose for Frank, too
It's the itty bitiiest Peri.
also - my icon is in memory of the 5 students who were killed at NIU three years ago today - a bittersweet day all around...
you know who I haven't seen here lately is Jellen - anyone hear from her??
ok, Molly, found a te9 but no te10 ty
was just thinking of Jellen uesterday but saw her post on FB and she said she had a good day so guess she is ok
Stick another consonant in the 9
ok, good, thanks Peri
I don't know where to stick it Molly :)
is there more than one te9?
can I get the first 2 letters of the 10
just logging on at the right time - Jellen is very busy atm, working towards her auction. She is doing well.
lol, peri, me either!
Oh Lord, Peri is asking me where to stick it. After the word that means adolescent.
hi sprite!
and hi all :) Oh Molly LOL
Te Annie.
hi spritey
happy valentine, all of you
sprite, same to you and hubby and children
right back at you sprite
you too, Sprite -
thanks :)
I am happy to hear that Jellen is keeping busy
ooh, I got it, the most of the te9
and now nbs :-)
gratz uusue
well, that 10 is a made up word if I ever saw one, with that stupid extra consonant stuck in there
The weird thing is, the root words that the two te 9's and the te 10 are based, are not accepted.
I tried the same thing, Molly
nbt and nbs
gratz periwinkle
do the root words even exist in the puzzle?
I think they end in a "y"
(I would end them with the sometimes vowel)
and they aren't in the grid
only in one spelling, not in the other one. Perhaps the other one would have been valid.
anyway, I had better shower, breakfast, and get on with my day - giving exams in 3 classes today!
good luck uusue
what kind of made up word is te 10,,,going to look it up
bbl
no defintions for te 10---who made that word up? I know...FM, its her fault
lolllll
good morning everyone! crossy is in da house!
Morning Cross.
his crossy
hi crossy, Happy Valentines Day
oops - hi
it means most small
hi crossy, happy Valentine
ty annie and a happy valentines day to all you laides;)...crossy hands a red rose to each..
spritey, It's still FM' fault
thank you :)
thank you, crossy
I agree, Annie!
and ill put a tin of quality street chocolates in the pb..
*jumps into PB*
know this sounds bad, but where do I stick the R in the te10 word?
my elegants favorite are the toffee pennys
there isn't one
sue, there is no R in the te 10
nowhere, sue, there isn't any in the 10. You need a T after the adolescent.
what is that????
that word is just ridiculous - good morning everyone
Hi River.
oh my, it makes a 9 also
hi River, it isn't that bad now, is it? It reminds me of the song about the itsy bitsy te*** weenie yellow polkadot bikini...
you can get quite a few words out of the te today
yes without the extra T
we are dating outselves with that one sprite
I looked up the 9 and 10 and they are kind of related to the itsy bitsy part. Ah yes, true, Riverdance... but who cares.
this is true......
I guess the extra T is to emphasize how very very tiny something is.
she was afraid to come out of the water,she was a nervous as sheeee could be,she was a fraid to come out of the water,she was afraid that somebody would se...1,2,3,4 tell the people what she wore...lol
I must get breakfast now - just wanted to pop in and say hello - bbl - happy day to all
howdy river
from the .... to the blanket.... from the blanket to the shore... from the shore to the water... now there isn't anymore!
enjoy, River :)
sprite, I love your icon
thanks Annie :)
for my Babble friends :) Miles apart, but just a *hug* away.
Good morning Babblers :) Happy Valentine's Day to you all
and to you, Nanette!
Hi Nono and a Valentine's Day hug to you
hi Nono
~~~~<~~~<~~~@ for you all
big valentine hug to Lickety for the list - this is the kind of grid where the list helps a lot! - I had singulars with no plural, and vice versa -

hi ((FM)) Valentine Hug for you
and to you, Mark
wtg JBV!!
Happy V day toyou too, Mark
Hi Mark, same to you!
ugh final 8 letter word found. Much crazier to me than the 10.
awe thanks Nono and you too and Annie and spritey sprite and Hi Mark.
I have 6 8"s so far
Hello,FM. Middle of 1st period, and
i'm playing babble.
gosh you're all way ahead of me on the 8's i have 3
You should study more Mark *grin*
still trying to get nbt/nbs, need the bottom e yet
I try, FM!
ahhh found one!!
one of the E7 starts there, Nanette
ah wtg :)
now to reach half way point
It is always so hard to remember which word come from which tile, to help in giving clues.
FM, I have the same dilemma...which tile? which word?
I agree, FM. I have to try them out one by one, to see if they can be made from an earlier tile.
Glad it's not just me!
Now that you say that, I agree.
yes, thats why i hate to ask for clues when that can be the case
We're all in the same boat. Good morning/afternoon all.
oh I don't mind, Nanette. It just takes a little longer :) (and more chance I get it wrong too)
and there are so many e's in this grid
hello Haz :)
Hi Hazel, Hugs to you on Valentine's Day
morning Haz, Happy Valentines Day
Ello Haz!
Hello! It's a very nice grid for Valentine's Day.
Good afteroon Haz!
Why did I think of FM when I found the sn5,7,8 combination?
It should be full of chocolate references and flowers but I guess Hallmark haven't inveagled their way into enable yet?
Oh hardy ha ha Haz LOL
thanks, didnt have the plural
Good afternoon all ..
Husband pretended to buy me a Nigella Lawson cookbook for Valentine's Day. I think he wanted to see if I would be polite or truthful.
Good afternoon, Norma.
Hello Norma
Hello Norma!
You're welcome, Annie.
and you were truthful whilst toss your hair to camera?
Hi Haz n Mark
Hi Norma
It was something along the lines of 'I hope you're not serious.'
hi Norma
Can anyone clue the first en7 and en8 please
as long as he is the one that cooks from it?
Hi Sprite
en + canvas building + vowel, and plural
He'd spend too much time drooling over her photograph. No, he borrowed it from someone for the joke and it's going BACK.
oh how funny!
lol he's got a great se5 of humour.
Thanks sprite
Hi Mark
must leave for a while, be back later
He knew it would cause a reaction.

Hello person who is sittingright next to me.

Happy Valentines Day!

a sad day here at NIU ...
Why?

5 students were killed here (and 22 injured) three years ago today
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry... :(
we are moving on, but it is a day of remembrance
it has to be a tough day for you
something to remember for a long time indeed. How sad.
exactly halfway through it....
long way to go!
yes - there is a lovely memorial on campus now, and scholarships in honor of the students.
I have a lot of this puzzle left...
gratz trent
the building where the shooting occurred is now being remodeled, and should reopen in the fall
There are lots of great words to find Mark
fireflies. Lots of body parts :)
Congrats spritey.
wow, sprite! Congratulations! (looks for body parts...)
Congratulations, sprite!
Yeah sprite!
As grids go todays is really not too bad.
Your iron discipline broke down eventually, FM?

'fraid so Haz bu I did achieve the goal.

ooh, waves to sprite.. Hi all, hearts and flowers to you!
Good Morning All; and Happy Valentines Day to each of you!
nice to have a bigger grid today, hope it is a "sweetie" (just logged in )
Hello Nef and Aloy. It's a very nice grid.
I was hoping for a smaller grid; I need to do some work today instead of being glued to Babble! :-)
yay, good to hear, Haz. Nef.. you can Babble on and off today - use Babble as a reward for accomplishing each task?
greetings! Happy Valentine's Day! My husband once again has topped himself for Valentines Day and my birthday!

Mornimg folks
Morning Bob
Good morning, Mr Bob.
hi all
hi jmc
Hello, jmc.
clue on first en7 please?
en + canvas cover + vowel
en7 - a French word for agreement often linked with cordiale.
But of course! Thank you zooz, Haz
You're welcome, Erda.
Merci Haz
De rien, Molly.
how do you spell onry -- he was an onry cuss.
Stubborn
Or ornery?
yes i know what it means i need to spell it
Over here we'd say thrawn.
ah thanks
thrawn? cool a new real word!
It's also appeared here as onery. Take your pick.
he was a thrawn old cuss?
I pronounce that word differently than it's spelled. It trips me up every time.
It's Scots for stubborn, wouldn't be linked with cuss.
'He's as thrawn as get out'
ah well i wouldn't want to miss use it
You'd be mixing your insults, no knowing what reaction you might get.
Haz, a stubborn old cuss is an old man who is very stubborn
must toddle off to work bbl
Oh, I'd worked that one out, Nef, I'm just giving a Brit alternative.
an old cuss isn't a swear word as much as it's a mean old man
Sorry; not paying attention
Whoop! NBT and over half way with no help. And I've got a 9. That makes me happy!
And hello everyone.
I've been trying for NBT and just can't fins a single word from that bottom row E. Could someone please clue it? Everything I come up with is from the E above it
EA7 - Oscar Wilde thought it had importance.
Hello, Becca. It's a very friendly grid.
thanks, Haz; I kept spelling that wrong No wonder it isn't working! <blush>
No Haz, you're supposed to say how well I'm doing , given how HARD this particular grid is
Okay, I'll rephrase. Your progress is astonishing, Becca, given the ghastliness of this grid. I bow down in admiration.
Becca, throw a consonent in the middle of the 9 and you get the 10
Why, thank you Haz.
lol
Surely that will depend on which 9 I have, Nef.
No, thank YOU, Becca, for allowing me to bask in your glory.
You are more than welcome to bathe in my reflected glow, Haz.
You are so right, Becca, I need coffee I guess. And will go wake up DH too
Thank you, Becca. I'm humbled. So is zooz, I can tell.
I don't think I have the rigt one yet.
I wouldn't want anyone to feel left out.
I was in deed :-)
Told you.
I do so love to share.
However, that will have to be the end of my sharing - I am required elsewhere to be Percy. Bye everyone.
Bye, Becca. Missing you already.
I will try and fill the gap of Beccas glory*grin* Afternoon all.
... or maybe not.
good morning everyone;)
Haz if you are still here - I saw a Spangle look alike today.
((crossy))
((fm))
good to see you.
good to see you as well my dear;)
Just back from laundry duties. Where was the Spangle lookalike?
Taking his/her mistress out for a wak and pootling about but there was much sprionging going on too.
Splashing in all the right puddles?
lol yes
I heard they are cloning Spangle in England? No?
Never take the dry route when wet is available.
Hello ruru!
Hello ruru. Looking forward to being under the knife?
good morning ladies
not really..Haz.. I am hoping for physical therapy with some hot nurse
(but just on my wrist)
Good luck with the Doc ruru, hope it all goes well.
yes.. my appt. is today
I've never been surgered
You might find surgery to be less painful than physiotherapy.
*FM runs to dictonary to see if surgured is a word*
Haz knows it isn't and just sighs...
ROFL
you will be fine ruru which ever way it turns out
Is it your writing/typing/thrash everyone else at tennis hand?
lynxxx was suggesting brain surgery for me at the same time..
If you have never had an op the expectation can be more scarey than the event.
you have never been surgered? lol,i have been opened up so many times,i have asked the docs just to put zippers in the key aras lol
yes.. I am a writey/righty
areas
I suggested liposuction when I was having my gall bladder out but the surgeon just laughed.
why would they want to do that ruru? ... you mean you really do have a brain?
Haz.. you are tiny why would you need liposuction
The anaesthetist helpfully pointed out that it wasn't terribly subtle surgery.
Tiny? If only.
lol crossy re yr post at 10.00
I've never been knocked out either.. it is going to be a whole new experience for me
See Haz, we all see you as petite and perfect.
Modern anaesthetics are fantastic, ruru.
well.. petite anyways
opening chat to see that crossy >>> PB, FM is teasing ruru, Haz is loving drugs and ruru is having surgery?
*grabs gas mask away from Haz*
lol fm wonder if you saw that,whenever i get one of those forms they give you when you see a new specialist that says"list all previous surgeries" i say do you wnat the highlights or the full novel? lol
They call petite 'short' over here. We don't mince our words.
Just a usual day in babble land Aloy dear :)
Who passed the gas?
Hello can someone give me stats for the central S. I have missed something somewhere. Thanks.
lol.. yup.. ruru, what's being surgered?
please no passing gas in the chog...ok! someone open a window!
I think vertically challenged sounds better Haz.. how about that?
Hi Cherry and scouser.
my wrist I think Aloy
Hi FMitch. I come into the heading of vertically challenged.
there are 41 central s's
Nadal and Federer are now relieved I'll be out for a while
ruru has a problem with his wrist and is blaming it on tennis.
No, I'm happy with small/short. We don't have follically challenged men here either. They're bald.
oh.. do you have a ganglion ruru?
just got the mexican afternoon nap;)
nope.. probably carpal Tunnel syndrome.. which is different than Chunnel Syndrome
OK who else is giggling at that post of Aloys or is it just me?
so did I, thanks to crossy in the PB
I thought ganglions were always operated on by hitting them with the family Bible?
aww, sorry for your syndrome, heard that is mighty painful
LOL
ooch.. hi scouser
adds a whole new meaning to Bible Belt
Sorta bumps on hands or feet?
LOL.. good one, ruru
Yes ru - good one indeed.
ruru is a sharp cookie (-:
My age is showing - knowing all these old wives' tales.
well he is a sweetie for sure
I'll have to look up ganglion.. not sure what it is
It's a lump.
:D
as is crossy (just so he doesn't feel left out) :)
lump of what though?
yes, a lump.. my mom had one on her wrist - she was an avid golfer
Best not to ask, ruru, best not to ask.
kinda grizzly, ruru.. must be connective tissue
picturing male Lion with tattoos and piercings
but they are easily got rid of.
We've had such incredible tennis weather and I haven't been able to play..:(
where are kje and Scrabbs? doctor in the house?
nice pun Aloyisius - gristly or grizzly?
speaking of which - bo7 would be done if that wrist was broken - hello again everyone
Well I think we have covered that topic - what's next on the agenda today?
lol.. meant gristly, but grizzly came out
yes please
hi River
we can solve all the world's problems on Babble, if only the world would listen
goooooooooooood afternoon fellow babblers xxx
yes.. with all the brain power we have here.
hi froggy
If women were put in charge could we make it work?
hiya ruru xxx
hello froggie
Hi River and frog.
hiya river xxx
hiya mitch xxx
well, we would need "wives", FM.. some support personnel, then we could make it work
Good morning, Babblers. So, am I to understand that Ruru is growing a bear on his wrist?
absolutely FM
I don't think so, FM. They'd only start fighting with each other. Women working together aren't always great.
howdy frogface and Judi
hiya aloy xxx
but they are much more creative
Give some women power and it's not a pretty sight.
There, how's that for letting down the sisterhood?
Imagine leaving the men at home to look after the children and do the shopping and tend the fields. Actually that would be chaos!
*picks up Gloria Steinam from the ground*
h'mm, so you think there would be catfights, Haz?
Lol. Think how thin and dirty we'd all be, FM!
I'd be sure of it, Aloy.
someone said catfight?
LOL Judi
yes, FM.. had to beg hubby NOT to do the laundry.. "wunka" method, I called it.. grab a load of dirty laundry, Wunka.. into the washer.. grab it out, Wunka into the dryer.. no matter what clothes, colors, etc.. and add bleach to everything for sanitizing of course
only in your dreams crossy along with the mud or jello.
And the children would be scrabbling in the streets, fighting stray dogs for scraps of "gristle".
Good afternoon all....
women in charge are fine to a point,but you guys are too good at revenge..the ole nukes would be flying within a month:)))
Is your husband's name Willy FM?
oh.. and throw the dry laundry into a drawer, wunka again
Good afternoon, Flask.
hi flask xxx
:) ruru - neither of my husbands were called that.
Afternoon Flask.
I thought it would be cute that Willy wunkaed
speaking of Willy - my son is in the middle school play - playing the part of Mike the cowboy in Willy Wonka - I will be laughing so hard I will cry for sure as he has to sing the part....first play ever - what was he thinking!!!!!
*FM goes through husbands apparently*
fm-the black widow...lol
sounds adorable, River.. take lots of pics/videos
can anyone clue me the fourth last bo word its a bo5/14
Oh brilliant River!
Totally forgot Willy Wonka was a musical. Don't remember mike the cowboy singing though.
BO5/14 - bo plus shortened Pres Reagan's name.
haven't reached for the list yet, Flask, sorry
has anyone got the stats for the central S please?
scouser ther are 41 s's that come from that tile
add a sometimes vowel at the end of the last word flask
scouser, there are 41 s coming from there and with 17 from the other s it's hard to work out which words come from where.
well, how about starting with a Mexican man and woman? maybe those come from there.. what Haz said is so true
hello and happy valentine's day!
ty Silver, same to you!
howdy silver rocket
Afternoon Siver
hello silver
thanks :) hope those who celebrate have some good plans
thanx Haz and River!
lol,already flooded the bathroom and the cat has just destroyed the cable box converter..valentines has just begun!!:((
scouser, do you have sn4/6 - the New Year Auld Lang s*** anagram.
don't try "serene"..
serenity now...serenity now....
ohhhmmmm
lol and I was just about to ask what you and elegant were going to do celebrationwise today :)
It comes from the other s but we have the Backward Knights - sr4/4
but you could try the sore on the eyelid
in the chaos breakfast in bed had to cancelled;(
ty Haz, missed the knight
or the noise people make when they sleep
chaos?
and i have iced champers in da fridge too..;(
and the ones that make nasal sounds of dislike
that one is sn8 (-:
or as Haz like to remind me the noise I make sometimes in the chog - sn5,7,8
or what Keith Richards did
oh a chilled glass of bubbly would just hit the spot right now.
*Pours FM a glass of Tattinger*
have some in the frig- come right on over...
se5/10 dispatched plus a vowel on the end.
*wishing it was Tattinger*
I'll swap a bacon sarnie for a glass of bubbles.
*offers little Caviar blinis to FM*
sold fm!
Babble bartering. It'll be the new thing.
crossy pours fm a chilled fluted glass of mumms extra dry
Veuve Cliquot was my fav but these days I have to say many of the cava's that are avaiable stand up to the test.
<---hates mumms
back for a few
{{crossy}}
((ruby))
moet if my fav
((Ruby))
((river))
Mine is Billecarte - Salmon
*is
i also have some frexient black label
when I can't afford Krug
must be moet & chandon for me. and for my lovely lady tonight. can't wait!
Aloy grabs note pad
first time in a while I'll have had anything but cheap beer...student lifestyle ;)
Vueve Cliquot isn't as good as it used to be FM
Champagne has just got too pricey over here - it is not worth eh £ even for special occasions.
it's all the same to me, but my date deserves the finer things. I'm not even sure if I even like champagne.
I was 11 when Mum Dad and I went to visit the vines and caves at Veuve Cliquot ruru - will never forget it.
the French all serve champs as an aperitif. I prefer a real drink!
Hi ruby!
hi ruby!
my mother used to put a sugar cube into her champagne. Is that widespread?
must have been a brut
{{aloy}}
you mean Mumm and Dad?
lol
ruru, saw that one coming as soon as I typed it, lol
\hello - just had to answer phones I will have to go over Lickety list again later. Thanks for helps. I got all the suggested ones. Cheers all
\hello - just had to answer phones I will have to go over Lickety list again later. Thanks for helps. I got all the suggested ones.
bye, scouser..
adding sugar to champagne is sinful
wouldn't do it either
suger cube soaked in brandy at the bottom of the glass and then top up with bubbles.
PS if yo put sugar-cube in champagne - for kids - it takes out a lot of the CO2 so less fizzy less inebriating. My parents used to water down wine for me.
not healthy, lol
Ah but FMitch recipe is interesting
you can learn a lot on Babble
that's like putting beans in Vichycoise
(sp?)
It does ahve a proper cocatail name I think but I can't remember 'hic'
The cube speeds up the rate of giving off bubbles so swirling it round before handing to junior cuts the CO2.
adding anything to champers is a sin;0
VIchyssoise, I think.
lol FM
thank you haz
I agree wtih crosshair - and if you have champagne it gotta be good like Lanson used to be.
Lanson is still pretty good
You're welcome, ruru.
I must go now. Bye all.
now crossy wants a traditional absinthe after seeing all these sugar cubes....
Morning all. Ahh adding a dollop of Chambord to Champagne might be sinful.. but not a sin. ;)
Gee - wormwood too !
eeew a step too far there crossy.
my wife like a dollop of Frambroise
if that's a sin, then it was my mother's only one!!!
you pur the absinthe through the sugar cube into a whiskey glass half filled with branch water,then you fire the cube till it starts to caralmelize then drop it in the glass;)
likes
ooh, found te8, rewarding myself with a trip to the laundry room.. bbs
don't forget to wunka alyoy
I've only had "real" absinthe once and it made me feel like I was doing something truly wicked
it is wicked lol
do they still make real Absinthe?
I think they've started again, but they limit the mount of wormwood
isnt absinthe illegal
Van Gough could blame a lot on absinthe and who was the other French painter who inbibed it a lot?
I had the real thing, a very old bottle, in 1969 in Switzerland
I have wormwood in my garden - grows like crazy
and it has to be the real stuff,you know it is real if #1 it is from one of those eastern block countries and #2 if it is around 80 dollars for slightly more than a pint
not here river
OK, dancer, we're setting up a distillery
Gaugin, FM.
sigh..the green fairy
Thank you Haz
You're welcome.
it certainly helped their painting!
We had some here recently - a gift from my brother & sister in law - lower wormwood level I guess... interesting -but not anything I'd imbibe frequently. Now must pop back out to work
well for Van Gough at least he was in Earshot of the stuff
eeeew, ruru
lol
*groan*
:D
Can't resist this: Russian recipe for booze circa 1900. Take a bucket of raw vodka, sprinkle with pepper to disperse oil off top, pour clean vodka onto raspberries in old champagne bottles, cork, rest bottles in sand. When first bottle explodes, rest are ready to drink.
Glad to see your affliction hasn't affected you funny bo4
scouser, that sounds like the way I make cassis!
*note to self...skip russian beaches*
I used to love Kir Royale. Cannot drink any alcohol now cos bone medicine upsets.
I make creme de cassis and creme de murs (blackberries) -- very nice with vodka to cut the sweetness
sorry - I am taking mythical cassis etc to PB. Bye all.
Where does the oil come from that needs to be disperrsed - did no one clean out the bucket first?
oil? in vodka?
bye scouser
Cheap vodka has an oil with it commonly called fusil oil. Very toxic. Hence pepper and throwing glasses into fireplaces.
too funny, scouser!
for they could not love you,but still your love was true,and when no hope was left in sight,on that starry,starry night,you took your life as lovers often do,but i could of told you vincent,this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
aroooo
sheesh - the things one learns in babble!!!
and then they go out and die in the snow
its a by-product of the making. Where does Vincent come into this?
was it a film?
his craziness was blamed on his consum-tion of absinthe
i am still thinking of him,absinthe and his ear
clue please for ts6/18 please?
a fly flask
Fly Flask in Africa Byee
That damn pesky African fly Flask.
got it...thanks!
bzzzzz flask
crossy - put me out of my misery, I know I could google it but was it that sang Vincent?
don mclean
also sang american pie
oh of course. Thanks.
love American pie!!!!
don't know Vincent
another classic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dipFMJc kZOM
there u go ruby
along with a slide show of his art work
I could hear the song/voice in my head but just could't name it.
crossy is waiting to see what ruby things of the song as one who has never heard it before....
and now I have an American pie earworm....I love it!
see you later, folks, dinner time
tc rubes
ruby has ear worms - what have you done to her?
I've written it down, crossy, but will have to watch it after din {{hugs for everybody}}
ewww
bye bye miss american pie, drove my sweetie to the levee but the levee was dry, those good ole boys drinking whiskey and rye, this will be the day that I die....
I do't know if those are right or not
bye, ruby.. back after hanging out the laundry
true story.. I was driving my chevy, listening to that song, and the radio went dead.. thought it was a joke, but the radio had actually died!
long time ago
Gah, just got booted out of babble - guess that is my cue to get on and do other things. Happy Babbling all,
Hugs to you on Valentine's Day, FM.. have a lovely evening
bye FM
hi all
hi jmc
can you hear the babble gears turning? chat has slowed to a crawl
i got interrupted by my staff
silly staff thought i wasn't busy
silly staff!
nbt
how dare they interrupt Babble
hi hurshy
hi
I clearly need to do a better job at supervising them so they will leave me alone when i am babbling
seems like a nice grid so far, i'm about halfway through.
really fun grid, hurshy
just hard enough for me
s's are in great spots
*popping Ss on random words*
yep!
ah but which things can we re-, that's the question.
that is always the question isn't it?
always
hi dorens
hi j, how goes it?
it goes, it goes
aww, hubby just came in with nice new set of pruning shears for me.. and a cape honeysuckle plant too! We lost a lot of our landscaping to freezes so I have the perfect place for the honeysuckle.. have to fix a great supper for DH for sure
i got an insulting request to apply for a job but i got over it
how sweet snuffy!
how does a request to apply for a job become insulting?
nice indeed aloy
(sticks head in briefly)
hi uu
yup, he is winning points today (-:
Happy Valentines Day to all! Just between exams here - gave 2 in the last 2 hours, another one next hour
if you are a lawyer and they offer you a job as a paralegal
hi sue
fun fun fun uu
ooooohhhh. sorry i asked, i do understand
Happy VD to you too, h'mm, that doesn't look right for some reason
that's ok, aloy, it's the thought that counts :-)
i am boycotting the day
whatever the thought was...
Valentines Day thought
it wasn't quite that blatant, but enough that i threw myself on my pillows and wept a little
Hey, all. :)
*concerned about being wish to have VD*
hi cgw
awwww, there there j. it will get better
hi cgw
I'm sort of with you, dorens, you can see from my profile that this is not a totally happy day here; on the other hand I was happy to eat the chocolates that appeared in the office
How is everyone?
hellos cgw
.. and a meat thermometer too! wow, I am overwhelmed
I know, aloy, I was being tongue in cheek :-) sounds like your hubby is a winner!
That kind of job offer has been around for a long time, for women attorneys. Sandra Day O'Connor graduated number one in her law school class at Stanford and the only jobs she was offered were as legal secretaries. Same thing for Betty Fletcher (late of teh Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.)
most days i am sure it will but sometimes i kinda forget that and get depressed
hmm the meat thermometer doesn't do it for me
hi jan
{{{{{{{{jmc}}}}}}}}
Hah--I bought myself a meat thermometer as a Christmas present this year and had myhusband wrap it!
just read the profile uusue, and I empathize.. my alma mater was Va Tech
my first job offer out of law school was to be a paralegal for a big time labor law firm
Hi all--just popping in between exam reviews...
wtg, jan !
i really understand j... remember until august 19 i was unemployed ... and the same thing may happen again... kind of unbalances you in many ways
ah, tough times there too, aloy!
hi jan
but i get the added joy of telling myself how stupid i was to give up a job without another one in hand.
yes, very sad, always
He had a good excuse this year--he was quite sick awaiting heart surgery, so I did the Christmas shopping for the both of us. (Though I may do it next year too--so much easier to get what you really need...)
but i was so happy when you got rehired!
poor jmc ! that's so irksome.
no j... the time was right, obviously.. and it will be ok, you know that
horrible, uusue.. such an idyllic setting up in the mountains, seemed isolated from the "cruel cruel world".. not
lol my husband gave me a giant jar of Noxema for our first christmas after we married
Hang in there jmc. The legal job market is starting ot look up a bit, at least for those with expereince. (Not so good for those just graduating from school, though.)
name that proper noun! the surname of three writing sisters
want real fun?try giving the wife a vacuum cleaner for christmas!...ouch!
well i gots experience! in boatloads
you didn't really, did you crossy?
bronte\
bronte
ding ding ding!
similar here, aloy - we thought we were well away from Chicago but ...
hi crossy
no,i did not,but i have seen it done....not a pretty sight
howdy jmc
Even better, crossy, is when you get your partner something that is really for you. It's referred to as a "baseball mitt" gift.
whew, glad to hear, crossy
i would have been surprised to find out you were that dumb crossy
ahh like a fly fishing rod for my darling lool
Yup, or like a meat thermometer would be for my husband!
okay i must go read some legal stuff and pretend i still care about the job at hand
I remember one christmas many years ago when my brother and i bought each other the same book - that was pretty awesome :-)
nope she got 2 lovely cowl neck sweaters,some "poison" perfume and a night put at las scandinav spa for a full massage,facial and pedicure
sounds wonderful, crossy!
now we're talkin, crossy.. excellent choices!
These days we're trying to give experiences rather than stuff for gifts. Two years ago I have my husband theater tickets and he gave me a guidebook and pland tickets to San Francisco for a long weekend. No worries about getting the fit or color right.
very nice jan;)
h'mm, I could give hubby a coupon book for ten opportunities to do dishes
Sioze can be a landmine all by itself. Guess too small and you remind the recipient that s/he is not the same size as in the past. Guess too big and get clobbered.
i know my wifes size down to the millimetre:)
what a guy
Really nice ideas, jan! I've read that people get more long-lasting enjoyment from experiences than from things, anyway (and it makes sense to me)
oops - I will scuttle off to the PB now - any chocolates there?
actually it is more of preperation,i steal a pair of her jeans,a dress and a top and get all the sizes marked down and return them before she knows
one year we escaped Christmas.. took our kids on a cruise instead.. asked them later, well, would you make the same choice again? And they replied.. where do we go next?
my sister's in-laws give the grandkids scads of christmas presents AND take the family on cruises. *jealous me*
moola wise, we had to choose.. and it was SO great.. no sign of all the commercial hub bub on the islands we visited.. the kids learned a lot!
i'm so impressed with myself for having found 40 of the 41 S's in the middle all by myself :)
maybe i can find the other one too.
wtg, hurshy
wow, hurshy!!!
down to 10, short break here.. bb to finish
You should be, hurshy. That's impressive.
the A's and B's are A Bit troublesome
yeah, I'm convinced there's a misprint in the stats for that second column a
i know, i found some that i was proud of finding and there are STILL five more from there!
ok, off to administer today's 3rd test, then the grading begins. 160 of one and 200 of the other. sigh...
That's where I'm stalled too. 11 out of 16.
(each course has 2 sections, so total enrollment is 160 in one course and 200 in the other) (brain is already dead...)
we MIGHT not be missing all the same ones... want to compare?
havew a "love"ly day, all. I'm off to work, and to see what adventures the rest of the day brings.
i have: ab7, ae4 (all the ai's are from the other A), ar5, 6, 4, 5, 5, 4, 4, 6, 5 (as5 from the other A)
oooh i just saw ab5 and 6!
ab 5 and 6
and 7 and 8!
one who does that 5 and 6
talk therapy works even in babble.
one more from each A now, that's so much better.
I thnk I don't have any you don't...
well not NOW - but you did before :)
OK so no misprint then; still missing one though.
one from each A, yes.
all 33 of the middle T's and all 6 of the bottom T's - only 2 T's left!
i can't see why we can't say that that turkey is br****ier than the one we had last thanksgiving.
i am br****ier than i used to be
;-)
but you're not a turkey :)
well, i'm off to lunch... be back later!
.. grid was mucho fun today. Finito and off I go to try out my new pruning shears. Happy Valentine's Day Babblers! byee
some would say i am!
whoo hooo snuffy!
bye hurshy and aloy
back for a few
hello jmc
hi ruby, greetings from Marco Polo Land
how are the pups doing? I saw a bichon while out today -- it was very cute
They are great. Enjoying the snow banks.
are you taking pix?
Yes, do you want one. When I'm not so lazy I'll put one up in my icon
you could send it via e-mail
I never could figure out how to do the icon - the first was ata's work, the second my dil
Okay, send you email to me at mufinbiscuit@gmail.com
wrote it down, but mine is in my profile, I think
would you like pix of garden?
Sure, I bet it's great. I've been scaling mine dow over the years
this gardfen, my first, is getting a little bit shambly after these 13 years, but it is gorgeous in April and May
nets
yets
whoops, I guess that means good night!
night night ruby
for NBT, bottom e, please
creepy, bichon
I have that word Kaplan, but it's not from that e
and a big fish that you can sink your teeth into
try pl of sea birds bichon
not that one either
more creepy bi?
what you hear with
The money you make...
yes, bethn, it was the pl or seabirds
oh, I got it --- the importance of being ea*****
: )
ty ch1212
I knew it was one of those but I couldn't remember which e was which
i have 45 left i am hoping for someone to call and take me away form this. first 200 were great, now not so much
yw :)
I need a break too, but I only have 107 words! I'm going to walk the fluffs
that's odd... why is the word for 'more dolly parton like' not accepted? mmm...
i know ch, when i turned 39+1, the hooter fairy visited one nite while i was asleep, and i woke up and couldnt understand what was weighing my chest down, i was suddenly br****ier. it must have been gradual, but omg it seems like i went from not so big to holy crap what are those and where did they come from
LOL!! Ditto, bethn, but for me, it was more like in 6th or 7th grade!
It's one of those "be careful what you wish for " deals- did I know when I was a flatchested 17 year old that I'd be dragging these things around with me?
D???????????
No, Kaplan, more like DD ... :D
nope, 6th & 7th grade i looked like a boy, most of high school i looked like jr bra model. even when i was pregnant they didnt get big, but middle age when i dont want em , woop there they are
D is enough for me. I'm not a big person.
It reminds me of those Margaret Dumont type dowagers from the Marx Bros.
My nickname (not happy about it either) in high school was dolly. Then a miracle happened --- I had a baby, breast-fed, and when I stopped, I had lost several inches and cup sizes! People actually asked if I had reduction surgery, and this was back in 1976!
the only up? side is because they appeared so late, they are relatively perky if something so big can be called perky ;(
I was delighted, and did not learn until later that for most women, breast feeding makes them even bigger. Bethn, if they are perky, then ... you go girl! :)
Hi again. Intersting topic! ;-)
Can we change the subject please?
LOL -- gladly, Kaplan. Yes, let's do. Anyone see Lady Gaga incubating and dilating last night? I am quoting the terms used on tv.
ch, I don't have the answer to this question; but I've always wondered why some women losse cup sizes when they br**** feed and others don't?
help please, still need the te 9/54 and 10/70 that apparently go together...
I don't know, Nef... but I just realized, I said a word!! Off to the penalty box, hunting for cookies...
itsy bitsy, sammy
Can I get a hint for the third st5/10?
i have the 8/40 and the 9/54 before them whish i think is the smallest...
use an alternate spelling for them
sorry, cgw, I don't have 3 yet
D:
3rd st5/10--put into heart valve to spread it open
Got it, thanks. :)
hi, all - time for a little lunch before grading...
Hi, uusue.
nbs and nbt but not halfway yet...
hi uusue. I'm *almost half way (4more words)
hi, nef! I'm at 116, so a ways to go.
I need to find 3 more; then DH wants to go and do stuff again (he's being semi patient with me)
I'm at work (lunching at my desk) so nobody has to be patient :-)
I really can't see how either that F or B can start so many words! I've got 11 of each and am blind (BTW, I hit half way; DH isn't aware of that yet!) ;-)
I won't tell :-) I'm at 17 for the f and 15 for the b
Darn! He knows now. BBL! Good Luck!!!
have a nice lunch!
or whatever -
oh, cr**. I should eat more carefully; now I have lunch on my shirt. Fortunately it has a complicated pattern, and it's hard to tell...
hah uusue, maybe you should wear a bib :)
And gloves.
wel I have 3 of the 8's,. one 9 and the 10 and nbt and nbs
yay peri! I am a little ahead of you with 5 8's, all the 9s and 10s. nbt and nbs but not halfway yet.
and nobody care :(
cares even
ooops I was too quick, sorry
I have an fo9 which is the pl of an fo8 ,help with the other 9 pls
Yeah, I can only type so fast while I am eating :-)
way to go peri!, sorry stuck in grid trying to finish
I am halfway
6ybethn
there are two te9s
are they plurals?
ty even
nope
I have a te9, need to look for the other
I have a te9 and fo9
if you have the 10, both te9's are related to it
the bit te,s are hard to find cause they are very small..as a matter of fact,they are the smallest
one of them is the way the 10 probably ought to be spelled; the other is the comparative rather than the superlative
I have that te9 and the te10 crossy ty
goooooooooood evening fellow babblers xxx
there are 4 that are related
and now I have MORE lunch on my shirt. I am switching to drinking tea.
howdy froggie
I just found out I got a b on my soc. psych test. :D
lol howdy cross xxx
an 8,a 9 and a pair of 10,s
my goodness you are sure haaving problems uusue, may you should not try to multitask
make that two 9,s and a ten
mmm 8 , pair of 9s, and a 10
yay cg!!!!
ill get it right yet uu
:3 Today has just become a less craptastic day. <3
have 3 of them , looking for the teentsier
yaa for cgw
lol,that is one
off u go peri
now extend that
I am sorry but that extra consonant in the middle of one of the te9 and the 9 is not acceptable, and makes them stoopid head words. if something is very very small, how much smaller can it be?
oops, did not mean to do that, hope there is choclit in the pb
they are wierd words peri
and the 10
there is a tin of quality streets i put in there for the ladies
what are they crossy, never heard of them, choclit?

hello all! **hugs and choclits** I am wasting time.
Hi there, stidmama
wee - down to 69 - i might just make it
Hi again!
Time spent with friends can't be wasted time, Stiddy
Just became a great aunt for the 3rd time - my niece had another boy! Micah Liam, 6 lbs 8 oz, 19.5 inches.
hi all
I want to shre an experience I had in the dressing room at Target.
Hi, peri!
umm, you do?
Hi there, uusue2.
:-D Thanks Peach. Just reflecting how frustrating it is that my office turned into a storage room which means that all the materials I have actually stored in there are either blocked or moved (so hidden); rendering any time spent looking for things I know I have fruitless, and making it expensive to keep purchasing things I know I have... and no time to change things until summer.
hey peri!
what a lovely thing, sue! congratulations to the whole family!
congrats sue and family!
I was trying on one of those stretchy garments, i.e. spanx, but another name. OMG what a struggle. anyone who know me know that I am tall and thin but after looking at the garments I chose a Med. camisole. I managed to get it on but was stuck in it for a while and alsmot had to call a sales clerk to get me out of it. I managed by msyelf :)
Congrats, Sue.
oh peri! *gasp*
oh dear the lady who won best new artist and beat bieber is getting death threats from bieber fans
My dad is happy too - his third great-grandson! And it sounds like my stepmom is getting some help, so things are looking up there too.
I Large size was almost as difficult so I gave up. The sizes need to be adjusted. the med. said for those who wear 8-10 but it did not work
*giggles at Peri* Kind of like putting your head through the sleeve instead of the turtleneck. *Snort* Sorry.
lol, peri but those things are never the size they say!
Bless your heart, peri, that had to be awful!
you sure you were looking in the ladies section peri??? I wear a small to medium in most things (and I am NOT thin)
Nice to know, peri :-) I am nowhere near large, even (bigger than that) so I will stay away from those!!! lol!!!
more excellent news, sue ((hugs)) so pleased.
ha ha, that is ok, would like to see you ladies trying on some of those garments. Yes I was in the ladies section.
congrats ususue.
I think Spanx and such are supposed to MAKE you a size smaller. I've never even attempted. Knowing my luck, I'd throw my back out again.
down to 100!!!! *dancing dancing*
And I am eating chocolate. Life is good :-)
Maybe the spanx brand would be better to try even tho more expensive. I am not happy about the rolll that has taken up residence around my mid section. and it is not a california roll :)
is spanx an american brand?
they are hard to put on but even harder to take off
yes lill
but they probably have someething similar across the pond
Peri, from what I heard the first time is the worst time - they take your shape some what after that
Going to go play with 6th graders' minds again -- they are so wonderful to work with. See you-all another time. Probably not tonight, I have more to pull together before class tomorrow. *poof*
hmmmm - wouldn't that be a problem if you had to, like, use the bathroom???
oh, but I could still see the roll, only it did not shake
morning everyone
Bye, stid!
not with a camisole, uusue, but with the panties, OMG that would be a major problem for me
i've tried on tops like that too peri, where they say a size 10 brit and i get them stuck on my boobs and the bairn as had to help me get them off, and i'm not big boobed!!lol
hi lynn
Well, I'm sure the bairn was damaged for life, Lillian.
I had the same prob today lill that it where it got stuck :)
Hi there, lynxxx!
bye stid, hi lynn
dear me - I will stick with my cheap Walmart stuff and keep jiggling, I think - at least I can get them on & off, and they're comfortable!
luckily enough she is a girl judi, so not so bad :)
clothes are weird tho - cos being rather fat i need a size 32 in Evans (fat womens clothes shop) but in Sainsbury supermarket i can get into their size 22s
atleast it didn't shake peri!i've bought slimming knickers, camisoles and i still look the same shape that i did before i put them on so don't bother now
it is frustrating tho
I looked the same shape too lil, only the roll did not shake. rather disapointing
yes - I've gone from an XXS when I was in my mid-thirties and running a lot, to an XL now. Sigh.
my birthiday is not till Sat. but I have already received cards and gifts
Happy early Birthday, peri!
ty but I can wailt ti
exactly kazzer.all shops are different with sizes which is very frustrating, especially if you don't have much time to shop, you just want to buy something you like in your size and go!
til Sat :)
ooh lovely my birthday is friday
very true lil. when I worked at
really, lilli! and then add in being short - it gets impossible!
it's my unbirthday! :P
happy early birthday to you too, kazzer! And happy unbirthday to the rest of us!
at Chicos there sizing was: 0,1,2,3 and I had to explain to all the new customers what the numbers meant. so stupid
i'm short too sue, doesn't help the fact that i sit down most of the time either so clothes always look different standing to sitting
i get most of my clothes from club books - i particularly like Joe Browns clothes
are you doing anything special peri, kazz?
of Kazzer, marigolds BD is thurs, yours is Fri and mine is Sat. and a friend is on Wed. what a week.
lots of comparatives and superlatives in this grid!!

oh no, what a witch!! she reminds me aof my cat, but she can run around the neighbourhood!!lol
so, does she do this all the time?
i bet she is!! it's just you worrying!
i'm usually very careful but today I got so excited by the balmy weather, I started taking a few plants out . . . and left the door open
will she come back on her own?
she never goes far, just frolicks and taunts me! LOL
yes, eventually . . .
to cap it off, she took a dip in the creek so I'm sure she'll come home smelling lovely!
i had a weimeraner when i was first married and he use to jump over a 5ft fence on a sunday night after the foxes. we lived ontop of a cliff and could see france on a clear day, and he would chase them and ex hubby would get upset and drive around looking and i would tell him, he'll come home when he's ready, every time he did, but if ex hubby hadn't let him out in the 1st time on a aunday night knowing that he would chase them, it would never have had happened!!
nice, lol, but a bath will have her smelling nice again
oh, my brother has a weimeraner -- sooo sweet and goofy! And VERY high energy!
can i have a clue for the ye5?
ok, what is it with the Portuguese money? Far as I can tell it was the escudo, which isn't in the grid. And I don't have any ne6 before the bird home.
y + first 4 letters of "to go in"
ahh, i thought that word ended in a differnt letter
ye5, ist 3 letters of ye4 and nearly a number

spit on the golf course.
Puns usually come unbidden.
Spit? And it's gone viral?
talking about golf courses i'm watching alan carr on tv and he has samuel.l.jackson on his show and he's just ghatted about being on a golf gourse
crossy loves puns:)
perhaps it was a tongue and cheek situation:)
what do you call a black haired swede?
a norse of a different colour;)
OK, go.
let's pun crossy:)
i need the 4th st 5/10 please?
hi crossy
good crossy
back of a boat
Does your opthamologist have a cornea sense of humor?
to be cross or strict cos
back
thank you
lol
mmm...crossy!!! lol
let's do a tree!!
and you know about ghandi how he waled for miles and mile barefoot till his feet were as tough as shoe leather and how he was a thin delicate man as he ate little,and strange herbs he ate on his food gave him bad breath...that makes him a super callaused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis ;)
blue needs to go to the pb
lol cross
walked
are you having a good valentines day in the end crossy?got to drink your champers with your beloved?
hey, Northerners- do you still have your Aleutians?
omg, crossy, that's bad but i can't help laughing which is even more sadder...lol
Do some Africans always have an Algeria motive?
I do?
tr4/4 is in the grid :)
the potato chowder looks good, hope it tastes good too
we went fro a drive and i bought her some pretty flowers for her hair we had a nice shower and she put a pretty flower in her long hair
Yep I do....
You said tr4, Blue.
aww crossy you are such a sweet hubby
ahhh, that's lovely crossy!
*jmcnrick tr*** not to think of tr*** *
i don't want to know about the shower though!!
hi crossy -- what a nice thing to do for your Valentine!
if my hubby bought me flowers i would be very suspicious!!
I have 29 left now -- all Ts teasing me
she thinks it is old fashoined and is embarrased by the bit of grey showing up in her hair,but it falls straignt to her waist and tbh,i only see the grey when she points it out
on valentines day lill?
You are so romantic.
anytime jmc!
ahh, you are lovely crossy!
her main present was a nice 22 inch monitor to see the computer better as her eye sight is poor
he's not like that jmc
you are the sweetest man Crossy.
aww..shucks...
he's not a romantic, would buy me a tin opener instead of flowers which i actually prefer as i can use it
good think elegant sometimes plays babble or I would tend to think crossy exaggerates
weee fireworks - i can go to bed it is just gone 11pm so not tooo late
aww, crossy, now that's like my hubby, buy something i need
yaa for kazz!
whoo hooo kazz!
yay kazz!!!!!!!

i cut my thumb last night chopping up mushrooms and this morning when i took off the bandaid realized i cut the nail so have to keep it wrpped up so doesn't catch on anything
hey all. taking a couple quick moments before I go get the kids at Mother's -- Tom says we can afford to eat supper out tonight!!!
can i have some ice too?
hi stiddie
that was nice of them lil
*puts ice in baggy and hands to jmc*
*holds out thumb*
hi stid. that sounds great, i hope you have a lovely night!
<------ passes out ice, bandages, and mecurochrome
ty sea!

eek! mercurochrome!!! *hides all fabrics*
ahh, keep it wrapped jmc
Firewords -- morewords had to find my last one, which is "a copper coin of ancient Rome, issued during the Republic, a third part of an as." So good to know.
I am looking forward to it, sea! already wearing my interview clothes, so it will almost feel like a date...
omg...haven't seen mercurochrome since I was 6...gah!!!!!!!!!!
I had to find a rubber glove this morning to wash dishes
YAY jilleroo!!!!
but it works so well stidmama
I know, but it stained EVERYTHING! LOL
and they make the clear stuff now
whoo hooo jilli!
and ty
really? clear mercurochrome, or something else?
*minds boggles* CLEAR mercurochrome? wow..
i was surprised to find that i own a rubber glove
wtg jilli!!
yes, clear merchrochrome
just mentioning mercurochrome makes me smell it
I use something called newskin (I think that's the name) -- basically superglue I think. stings at first, but then protects against water
At least mercurochrome didn't sting like iodine
had no clue seaspray. thanks!
OMG is my father here?!! He is the king of mercurochrome!
I have heard of that
es7 anyone?
more like clear nail polish imho, stid
LOL good!
can't keep up with chat!! going off to bandage toe.
but that would protect against my nail getting caught
hm. yes, that might be a better analog, jill.
*wouldn't
*wraps lilliann with bubblewrap* take care!

i'm watching a programme about teen sex and its quite horrifying!!
my daughter is going to be locked in her room until she is 25!!
lol good luck with that
what about a chastity belt instead
lol
maybe some education?
i've got all the keys to the doors and windows jmc!
lots of education
lol
I told my daughter to just remember that the va-jay-jay is CLOSED. That is all. CLOSED.
lol Champ
hmm well she may conclude otherwise champ
<===so NOT a virgin when got married
My daughter just told me yesterday she is pregnant...but she is married and will be 25 on Thursday
congrats sea!
so I guess it's ok lol
Yes, she may, but this is the law of the land. She didn't find it too funny when I reminded her the other night when she had a new boy over!
yay Sea!!!
lovely Sea
the bairns do get educating at school now, my daughter is 11 and had a nurse gome to school the other week to chat to all the boys and girls and give them leaflets, but how many take notice!! it's frightening!!
[blush] in fr*** of him?
ty...will be the 2nd grandchild, my son has a 2 year old
Jmc...I whispered in her ear..."Does he know the "china" is closed"? She about peed herself!
well i think a parent is better than a nurse on this topic lill
I did not understand the tr8 clue
yay sea
I did one too LilM
I agree jmc, but there are those that don't get it at home.
lol glad you whispered!
rolf
I missed a clue for the tr8 :(
ok
Yes, love the grandchild, no responsibilites, just have fun and give them back
we joke around a lot, but at least we're talking about it, a lot!
OK got it :) thanks

peri, prefix for 3 + opposites of exits (minus one letter)
hi folks
hi welki!

hi Welki
how old are your girls Champ?
hi welki
hmmm ... tell me why my re8 won't work ... i'm thinkin'' re***bra, like a pointy one from the 60s
11 and 16. They have a 24 year old brother, and I talked his ear off too!
i've already told her about the birds and bees jmc but the schools now do it aswell as alot of parents don't
lol my sis in law has 2 girls 15 and 17...the 15 year old is quite a hand full
Welki finish it with the end of Mr Ed the talking H****
har
ty lil monkey for the tr8
they all are...it's all around them! But as you see, some are stupid. My 16 year old told me about a girl last week who was pregnant, and going home taking shots of alcohol hoping to kill the fetus.
Oh boy- 90 left
i've always been open about things with my daughter since she was young...i think that is the best way to go!!
well there ya go .. thanks, lynxxx :)
Oh my...very sad
she eventually told her mom, who took her to get an abortion. And she was back at school laughing about it. Awful.
omg champ, that's awful!
Doesn
Doesn't sound like she learned anything from it
yes...I know!!! She told half the school before her mom.
No, don't think so. But years from now, who knows?
I have two daughters- both with common sense.
you helped them get that way Kap!
Hi everyone!
Yes- I am a model of sanity and balance as you all know.
hey brookie
hi, brookie!
hi Brookie
Hi uusue!
I am too Kap. Pride myself on it! ;)
i worry now as 13 year old get pregnant! what iw orry about is, that my daughter knows what sex is and that when she can get pregnant, not now hopefully as no periods but it's the pressure the boys and other friends will put on to her!!
Hi lynxxx, champfit!
hi Brookie
hi brookie
Agreed lilliann, but you have to constantly talk to her. You can overcome the stupid teenage things if she knows about the repercussions.
Hi peri, lilli!
And Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
clue for ar 6
right back at you brookie
same to you Brookie
plural of the ar5 before it
ar6 almost ar**** Hall emcee
having to do with trees
And I go to the PB...
you just got here!
OOps.
any clues for the last ab7?
well. me and her dad do tell her and we always will but i also know of the pressure from your friends!! i wsa quite old compared to my friends, but i did smoke when i was young becaus my friends did!!
Well, I'm efficient, Champ!
a + boob
heigh ho
heigh ho to you to, Dorens :)
hey, dorens
duh, thx, une!
And there ya go! OFf to the PB with you...probably Valentine's goodies in there...
yw :-)
Keep me ab***** of th e situation.
Lilli, does she talk about the pressure from her friends?
and sometimes peer pressure doesn't help the situation!
Lots of Godiva chocolates in the PB
lilliann, my neighbor just managed to grab my dog!!
uh oh. what have i gotten into here... peer pressure? I'm off duty!!
Her 9-hour adventure has come to an end :-)
yes, but what's worse than having to have a baby? Peer pressure is one thing...24/7 baby duty is another.
not yet brookie, she doesn't even think about it...hopefully! i'm just worried when dhe goes to high school this summer...that's when the pressure will start!!
une... she's been gone for 9 hours???
oh yay une.hope she's ok!
she's fine except for a poopy collar LOL
holy cow, une! glad to hear the dog is back!
back
glad she is back Une
dorens, she's my escape artist -- never goes further than a couple of streets -- just having a mad frolic
and it's awful trying to catch her!
9 hours is quite a frolic!!
yay the dog's back. whew!
*hands une some rubbers gloves*
Lilli, a lot of it has to do with the friends she hangs around with. And you can have a say in that.
i could see her out the window most of the time :-)
tx jmc LOL
Une...I have one that does the same. My friend the dog whisperer, told me it's because she's horny. She was a stray, and I haven't had her spayed yet!
oh, Shelby's been spayed -- she just needs to go nuts every few months!
how about the last sn4/6?
My last word was the fly! bye everyone
Are we talking about 13 year old girls, or about dogs? I am confused.
okay i had a wild illusion that i would get to 1/2 way for i left for home but that is not happening
**s or no, sue?
whoo hooo lynxxx!\
bye lynxxx
lol kap
No, reaally!
sn + oh ** of little faith
thx, dorens!
ty dorens
bye all bbl maybe
later, jmc :-)
bye jmc
the friends she has now are lovely and the same as her but some of the girls in her class are different!! and as we all know as we were all children te%'s ourselves, it doesn't matter how many times your parents tell you not too you will still do it...i did, because they told me not too!!
it went from girls to the dogs from what I gather...was instructing hubby on fixing dinner
bye jmc! tc
bye jmc
lilliann and I had discussed my dog earlier and I just wanted her to know the prodigal got nabbed :-)
Lillian...take it a step further. What would actually happen if she were to get pregnant? TELL HER. Let her know what the consequence would be.
i have but she's only 11 so she doesn't understand...she likes to pleay with her dolls and dress them up
what's her name une?
then don't worry...just keep talking about it. She'll listen...
Help her talk about her goals for herself and what she wants her life to be, and the things she needs to have her goals happen. For instance, she wants to be a dancer, or a professor or an athlete. Then you talk about all the things that she needs to get there. And how some things (like getting pregnant) would derail her. Try to keep it in the positive- how she wants her future to be,
Goals and values. Talk with her -in her language- about what her values are.
she has changed her mind so many times over the last few months kap about what she wants to do with her life as all 11 year olds do so i don't know what it will be next week!
You may pay the receptionist on the way out and schedule your next appointment.
lillian my daughter always said she wanted to drive a school bus and work at southern states. she has her bachelors in nursing...so I totally understand
the schools are already putting alot of pressure on the bairns with their tests,and grades!!
It's not specifically what she is going to be- it's more about values- does she have an idea of being someone who travels a lot, or helps people, or whatever- it doesn't matter if she is fantasizing- it's more to get her to think constructively about her potential
Bairns! What a babblet. Do you really say bairns?
do you only have the one lillian?
Suppertime.
she knows about helping others as she has always done it , as in helpin me one way or another, she is my carer when hubby is working away!
yes i do kap as i live up near newcastle,up north in the uk
So you talk with her about what things she needs in her life to help others- like being healthy herself, having time to give people, being educated.
she's my only one champ but my hubby's 4th
i'm full now, back for some more of this grid.
How will getting pregnant or hanging around with losers help her get all those things? etc. etc.
still...you're only is a big deal!
supper bbl
duh....*your*!
It's hard to explain in a chog, but it's basically about values- helping her difine them
dinnertime
help pls with nex to last tr6/18
go eat Kap...
yes kap, have always sat with her and done things, educational wise and told her how important it is, and if i do say so myself she is very bright, friends, who are teachers have told us the same, she is where she should be in her education
you must feel very proud, lil, souinds like you are doing a great job
the problem is that she has been bullied throughout hers school life which is why i'm worried!!
sorry sea, good for her, i bet you are really proud!
yes, i am peri, but it's really difficult being a parent as most of you know and i'm worried i'm going to muck up!!
No mucking...no worries!
parenting is the most difficult job in the world. sounds like you are doing just fine, lil

Hello all. Well, I have 100 words already. Like the endings!
go Mother go!
ty did you have dinner?
yes, it was nice. restaurants were almost empty at 5 pm... worried that they didn't seem to get a "bump" today.
hi stidg!
how was your supper?
Perhaps later they will have more customers. We enjoyed dinner at home. It was simple but we'll be eating out this week. Hi dfmc!
We are watching Jeopardy -- exhibition match against a massive IBM computer bank.
May I please have a clue for tr6-18 the 2nd? Thanks

I am tired, elder stidkid deliberately ran the laundry basket into the dog when the dog was hoping to be played with -- stidkid wanted to watch the TV with us. Not sure what else to try to get this kid to back off and be more gentle when there is something in the way of his immediate objective.
how many kids do u have mama
deliberately? :o(
2 -- and yes, deliberately, dfm.
It's worrisome to me because it is a long-term issue and not likely ever to change. All I can hope is that when the kid moves out (in a few months to a year or less) that there won't be critters around.
I stopped grounding mine and started taking away technology
that's a good idea, crystalle. Might resort to that.
you would be amazed at how quickly my kids clean their room to get the tv back
that trick always worked with me -- mind, the only technology I use are what came with the house, my computer, and the Internet, so there wasn't a whole lot to take away...
last re 8/40 please?
tr8/40?
re8/40 to turn around
tr8/40 ancient Roman coppers (as in the coin)
mmm - no revolve
okay... I am going to focus on the grid. for a little while.

quitting with 63 to go -- reading a good book and I'm sick of these grids with words that only dfm has ever heard of
sweet dreams nan! ((hugs))

and yet I always miss i4 words... *sigh*

'Bye stid.
I think Stidge is on dial-up, dfm, so give her time.
Oh well. I've got to get ready for tomorrow. I am on cable Jacula but my brain is disconnected. You are sweet to think more time will help. Maybe a sledge hammer.
a... sledgehammer? o.0
Stidge - I won't be using a sledgehammer on you. I'm sure you'll work the clue out.
sa6?
Nice to see you Jacula. I am researching Scotland a little for a possible trip in the spring or fall. I want to miss the royal wedding, any major soccer matches, and the Olympics. There is a small window of opportunity for me.
sa6 "laughter with knives", pini
It's 4.16am here in UK and I'm supposed to be at the dentist's a 2.30pm. I can't afford him until the end of the month.
4.16... so early, jac!
Stidge - I have relatives in Scotland if you need any help.
You are up early. Is it the pain that has awakened you?
i cant get that second 9 or the 10. darn.
Thank you Jacula I'll keep that in mind when we are firming up our plans.
No pain, just mre bloody hot flashes, and the fact that my bank account is in the red.
Dentists tend to make bank accounts that color. I had a root canal last year. Good lord, it could have been the Suez canal for the expense.
any clues for those smallest of ten letter words? have the nine two before and cant get the other nine either.
ok i got it but tell me that is really a word. i hate these made up words.
Let me know if you need any info, Stidge.
Ty Jacula. You take care now. Poof!
that is (apparently) a real word, mkg.
See you all next grid. *gone*
