thanks jilli, I love tulips
my tulips are starting to bloom
oops, has he hacked into me here!
I don't think they're even pushing through the ground here, are they Jilli?
what makes you think so, flosey?
just because my message appeared twice, jilli
no tulips yet, no
just coincidence, I think.
will presume so!
could your shaking hand have jiuggled the enter key?
*jiggled
that is possible!
I've noticed little breaks in TV transmission tonight and some burps on the net, so maybe that's what happened
weather is so crazy we had a thunderstorm this evening
hey all -- *rubs eyes* there is a seattle babbler named JAN??? wonder if she wants to meet up with us and dcseain in April?

hm. spacing them out, eh? LOL I am sure their parents appreciate the help. I know I did when my mother did the same for me.
and there I am at 101 words, 96 remaining. back tomorrow to finish.
LOL I meant I have one particular g/dtr nearly everyweekend, she would move in if she had the chance...bit of hassles at home, so we have her whenever she wants to come.
Have a lovely week, all! *poof*

BBL
I'm falling asleep, better get to bed, may get back to this tomorrow
good morning everybody!
hi, ruby! :)
hi ruby and all babble persons. Good morning.
hi
at least one babblet in here, one funny spelling of a brown and several chemicals today.
hi
and some suspect adjectives
and our fave under-the-bridge dwellers, lol
Norse ones?
dunno, do they call them the same as we do in here? ;p
what do they start with?
tr5, it's actually only the singular
yes same - I thought you might mean mo7 !
haha, have that too. :)
also we have currency just to satisfy me that we cannot have a grid without at least one bit of money
I like Terry Pratchett's tr5s which become whizzo mathematicians when deep-freezed
frozen even
I need the top left i and the lone O for nbt, can't seem to monkey anything that works, sigh...
top left i6 is chemical definition of molecule shape first syllable 'same'
aha, got an is6 there, thanks
the lone o at bottom has several words from it: group of eight and its plural; technical ear desc; and or4 (embroidery border?)
no, the second O in the first column is what I'm missing, but thanks for those, too! :)
couple of om's hebrew weight, leave out, card game, tootle-person
yay, it was the "tootle person", haha, but that spelling doesn't seem right somehow...
I knew it would likely have to have the other O in it, of course
gerat word for crossword-lovers though
great
Nice - nuthatch in tree outside my window
ha hydra - beat you to it !
oh, nice, I see some of those here at my feeders, but at the moment it's 4 AM, haha
nighthatches then ?
they would be, wouldn't they - I only meant I see them when it's light out, but not now... :)
they seem to love the seed, nut and fruit bells I hang out
I live on second floor and there is big ash tree less than 20ft away. agoraphobic cat sits in window and yickers at pigeons same size as himself.
I cannot reach tree for hanging stuff. I want birds eat greenfly aphids anyway.
'yickers' what a great word! Morning all.
I think it is Henry Williamson word.
cats can be hysterically funny sometimes! the old female we had that liked to birdwatch through the kitchen window finally died of old age last spring. The two neutered males don't seem nearly as interested.
one time when the weather was bad and a whole flock of assorted small birds came, cat made great fuss and didnt shut up till I came to look at them: bonus - some rarer members of tit family and finches too.
I was putting bread out for the birds this morning and a robim flew down and ate a bit that I had dropped about 5" away from my feet!
To go back to yicker - I think it is a Tarka the Otter word. I have lovely music written on that theme but it is on tape only. Must seek it out.
you could try YouTube scouser.
Yes in the garden of our flats there are at least three or four robin territories - lots of musical battles at the moment.
Much testosterone going on in the bird world now that spring is coming.
Morning, all. I'm here just briefly 'cos friend with small children is about to pop in. I've only found 27 words so far. And scouser, we had another visit from the sparrowhawk on Saturday.
I FMitch - I am just going to have a quick look at the drawer with tapes in to see if it is near the surface - cannot remember the artist. Very 1980's new age, rolling rollicking theme to mimic the otters.
Birds woke me at 5.23 this morning. Grrr! So much for testosterone, gimme my beauty sleep.
LOL poor hydra!
Jolly good Hydra. I just tried your mobile - ignore mssg. Speak later. Try sleeping indoors.
Beauty ?
Every morning it's the same. I wake up and reach for the earplugs. Sorry, scouser, I am upstairs and mobile is in kitchen.
No need for that, scouser!
have a look at chog later - I have given a few clues.
Time for me to pootle off for a while. Happy Babbling!
Bye, FMitch.
Gosh, it's chilly up here and I have no socks on. Just looked at windowsill thermometer. 42F. Better put socks on before I catch a chill!
Ditto. I must go tidy a paper-heap or two as they are reaching nose-height (from the floor). Have I got correct spelling for height? - it looks wrong.
No, it's correct. Will ring you later.
ta
have you all got the h word?
Aye we're all indoors in Scotland !
Re: Tarka. I have dug out the cassette and that is the title. Harry Williamson, Anthony Phillips composers with briish national Philharmonic orch. 1988. Listed on a Prog-Archives on internet.
we can get technically horse-y with the h word too.
Bye all.

good morning everyone;)
good morning crossy, and all my dear friends
if some kind soul types the top corner i into the chog by accident, I will grant full PB clemency.....promise!
hi there, and i can clue the top i : is6 = is + vowel + ***ry christmas!
blessings on your head, gwen!
still hunting for the onther one . . ., YW
oh, and btw -- I was a mighty book doctor myself this weekend! The puppy shredded a a book tertiare has to read for school. I found most of the pieces, and I can't believe how much of it I actually was able to reconstruct. I was mighty proud of myself.
less proud, however, of using the word "mighty" twice in one paragraph.....sigh
ah, but using the same word twice means you are not a book doctor (it actually means editor, not restorer). but still , great story, good for you, and bad on your dog!
did you slap the dog with a wet noodle? lol
well, I did notice the repetition and would have corrected it if possible - surely that counts?
and no, I slapped tertiare with a wet noodle for leaving a new book in the path of puppy teeth
remove the last letter on the is6 and replace with the 3 letter word to attempt
2 questions: how old is tertiare, and how do you pronounce tertiare?
lol((trif))@the dog ate her homework;))
wow, well done lady!!!
ooh, good clue, TY ladycece!
yw, yw
(adding is8 to my collection of weird words)
LOLOL crossy! tertiare is 11, that is not her real name, just what I call her on the internet, and I say it ter - she-air
does it mean third child of three, or something like that? (no, not gonna google it)
I am intrigued by how many unacceptable enable words are part of popular phrases -- willy nilly, flim flam, etc
yes, that is what I have decided it means, gwen, though I am not sure it really does. And I don't know why I am so shy of saying their real names on the internet, I mean, they are on facebook and all. I guess I have been calling them Primo, Secondo and Tertiare for so long that it has just stuck. It started as a way for mr hate and I to be able to discuss the kids without them knowing. worked for a good long while
egad, mr hate is there dad? LOLOL
ack, i mean their dad (OY)
(see, this is why editors can't edit themselves . . .)
he is.
and he knows what you call him on the interwebs???
no, I don't believe he does.
ah
lol,i have been called worse,he should count himself lucky;)
we aren't married anymore. I used to call him all sorts of nice things, back in the day
you know what they say: divorce works best if you treat the fu6 with respect LOLOL
oohhhhhh trust me, crossy, "mr hate" is the polite, appropriate for internet version
excellent gwen! hadn't heard that one! LOLOLOL
good morning, and is fu6 in the grid?
nope, i just don't want to swear in the chat room. (not a prude, a potty mouth in real world)
and uh, yes. if he had treated me with even a modicum of respect, things would have gone much better. accountability might have been nice, as well
divorce works best if you are 6000 miles apart and there are children to use as pawns
did you mean "no" children, crossy
indeed trif
not awake yet
oh hey -- I am a phantom today! Ha ha ha -- guess which one?
you need at least eight children if you're gonna use 'em as pawns LOL
lol,good one gwen
phantom- milf
not divorced here, just mildly observant
hug your husband today, gwen. seriously. divorce SUCKS and has made me generally miserable and poverty stricken, so please, avoid it entirely, if possible
i hug my mrs every day:))
and my boy is 17 and the best part of us both
good plan :)
not married, either! (way too selfish to do that LOL)
did he get his license, crossy? I keep meaning to ask....
and like he says,we better be nice to him,cause he decides which home we end up in lool
nope,not yet trif,he has some motor skill delays etc,long story
I told primo I am not going into a home, I am going to live with him and his family.
okay, didn't mean to pry....just wondering, really. I was thinking more of mrs crossy, and how it will be nice for you, and her, to have another driver in the house
and i am sure the daughter in law will smile at that lol
another driver would be amazing,but it will be a year or 2 more i am thinking
puhleeeez - his current companera would poison me my first day
then it will be the sweeter for the wait, crossy
i have already laid out the rules for it though...
my parents got divorced, though. took 2 1/2 years. at least there were no screaming fights in front of the kids
all he has to do is pick a used car,get insurance quote and have a years insurance in the bank and i will buy the car(under 6000 dollars)
cause he is not driving mine!!
a year's insurance? good thing you're not in michigan!
crossy, I found this very helpful, and there are more available on line as well: http://www.aaapublicaffairs.com/Assets /Files/2007214956500.Parent_teencontra ct.pdf
a years ins for 18 year old male here is around 4500
ty trif
holy crepe, that's way more than what i thought, even accounting for exchange rate!
there is no exchange anymore gwen lol,our dollar is worth more than yours atm
$1.02 last i checked on sat
good time to buy U.S real estate
beware swamp land in florida, crossy!
hey, no fair! LOLOL
hi you`ll any clues for the fe 8
good time to buy more books!!
lol trif,my brother just bought a home in las vegas,4 minutes from strip almost 4000 sq feet for 205,000 all inclusive and seller paid all closing costs
that as well gwen!!
wow, really? is it haunted? hell mouth in the basement? seigfried and roy lose a cat in there somewhere?
maybe i should drive over to windsor to buy books. all i need is a renewed passport, for prolly about 100 bucks . . .
fe + 1st two letters of your name + I live in New York ****
ferocity

morning ruru :)
ty annie got it and fireworks. For some reason I couldn't see that
yay for Matches
are you back to good health?
on and off, ruru. Going through a nasty part of the therapy process and it is taking its to4. But getting there :) Thanks for caring. How are you doing?
I'm fine.. just one wrist injury I'm dealing with.
THings are better now in our economy.. I hope it lasts
ai, should I ask how you got that or better not? ;)
bad girl..it's a tennis injury
ah ok, never heard it call that but I'll buy it ;) Hope you are healing up fast and fully.
6 weeks ..to heal. Just part of getting older I think
yeah, we aren't 20 anymore, ruru. Things need ti4. Sending you healing vibes and naughty thoughts to keep up occupied ;)
hmmm okay
that's weird though..when I was in therapy.. I got sick all the time too.
Where would we be without dear ruru and his naughtiness and terrible puns!
and good afternoon spritey sprite!
I think it is because it takes so incredibly much energy.
I was hot yesterday FM you missed some of my best
I wonder Sprite .. if an excorcism would have been easier on me
Oh I didn't miss them I just wasn't awake enough to participate but I did giggle.
you're always hot, ruru.
I got Jaq to blow coffee on her screen
lol wtg
and I made Doren laugh when she was in a bad mood
sprite did you know that tomorrow is the centenary of International Womans Day? I didn't until I watched the news this morning. Annie Lennox was being interviewed on the subject. LOL ruru I can believe it :)
annie lennox is a trip.. she is soooo smart and thinks so unusually
You are the master of the pun ruru.
yup a woman of many depths and love her songs too.
oh wow. I could change the theme, FM
Is ruru putting the pun in punishment again? Good morning, Babblers1
and the voice of an angel too FM .. don't forget that
LOL Judi and hello!
hi Judi
nah judi.. just waiting for my shot
Ah such sweet dreams ruru
Ruru fought in the Punic wars
centenary = 100 years?
ROFL
yes sprite.
am changing the theme
okay :)
and I understand we should have an Annie Lennox day as well?
yes.. sign me up
she is born on Dec 25, which isn't practical. Let me see.
The Punic wars were a whole bunch of people sitting around making stupid jokes. I don't know who won.
we should have a bad pun day too
ruru lurves Annie
Pffth. Annie Lennox - yet more proof that aliens live among us.
crossy and I would be kings for the day
Every day is bad pun day.
yeah judi.. when sean hannity can sing like that..let me know
OK how about a theme one day for our beloved male babblers who are in the minority here but we do appreciate them?
fortunately even with our small numbers some of us make a huge impact..lol
also very nice
*gag*
still looking for a fun date for Annie Lennox
Open door, invite ego mania.
Awe c'mon Judi :)
As if they don't already flaunt all their stuff as it is!
hey, beer drinkers, guess what time it is.
It's Mi6 ti4 and I'm in the PB!
*covers eyes to avoid seeing flauted stuff*
hey you said we could be members
Gracious me!
I don't mind the flaunted stuff one bit
lol Kap
judi's a prude.. judi's a prude
Not too keen on crossy in his spandex though.
ooo boy..I'd skip that one too FM
ewww.
I'm not a prude! It's almost Mardi Gras. Show us your ________.
I prefer crossy outside of his spandex :)
Most of him IS outside of his spandex.
LOL
hey hey no picking on crossy here! Sprite lubs the crossy.
we all love crossy
We all love Crossy.
*sprays bacon perfume around to see if crossy can be enticed out of hiding*
you better :)
darn, Annie's first solo album appeared on an April 1st. Shall I change April Fool into that?
nope that is a Friday, no use
Annie's so not worthy, Sprite.
how about the date of her first hit in the Euryhmics
make it the 2nd as I am sure some babblers will come up with great April fools icons.
hesh up judi.. she's a huge talent
lol Judi, feel free to propose a worthy icon theme :)
ok, will do the 2nd, good idea
I'll check, ruru
lol no date, just a year. I give up, I will put it on April 2.
this grid, btw, has about 70 words less than it claims
You noticed that.
It is a bit of a brain teaser.
I am so perceptive
come on, Judi, any suggestions before I go copy the whole new list?
Oh, gosh. I'm no good at coming up with icon themes.
judi could propose rush limbaugh day
ugh, what an annoying grid
An ode to Pat Paulson would be appropriate for April Fools Day.
no problem. Off I go to copy. Brb.
yes. jude that's a good one
I met him several times.. he was a little shy actually
*ignoring ruru*
ok check it out, if all is well the list has changed now
yup that has updated spritey. You do a great job with the themes you know.
thanks :) Not many people follow them, but I think many people do enjoy them. Reading and seeing, i mean.

Nothing wrong with 1959 - t'was the year I was born.

Have you done much writing recently sprite?
:)
only very recently. And no fantasy atm. I am working on a symbolic tale about ptss.
Got some snow last night .... all white again ... where does the white go when snow melts?
Oh well done was hoping you would say you were writing still.
usually the white is gone long before the snow melts, BabbleRabble
where do you think snow cones come from BR?
am trying for a page per day atm... it is tough to get back into a routine. But writing isn't about waiting for inspiration, it is about doing it every day.
Snow still? oh dear BR, I will have to reinstall the thermal heater in your PB hammock.
te6?
A symbolic tale about PTSS. That sounds interesting Sprite.
I hope it will be, Molly.
vietnamese holiday and princess dianna was *o*a*ty

Trust you have found the me6.21 ruru? and hello all that have appeared since I went for a quick walk.
:)
hi FM
((FM))
jmc, how did you procedure go the other day, have not had a chance to ask you
leg better, FM? and wb.
hi FM
yes thanks FM.. I am just missing one now
Nothing like a quick trot round the garden :)
i have the heart of a 20 year old I was told and my veins are a clean as a whistle
I don't have the me6/21
wow, that is so good to know jmc, bet you were relieved
((crossy)) was looking for you earlier and spraying bacon perfume to entice you out of hiding.
lol
that is very good news
i was indeed
i also found out that i am not anywhere near to diabetic
wtg jmc!
does that mean that you can start dating 20 year olds now?
that is great news too
my blood pressure is normal and my cholesterol is only slightly high
bring 'em on ruru
why did you have the procedure in the first place, jmc?
next year jmc can have 3 20 yo dates at a ti4
*giggle*
it appeared on last saturday that i was having a heart attack
jmc to young man.. how many are you..
lol sprite i could start in August
oh, did not know that
Young man (holding up fingers twice) "This many!"
best way to stay young :) But hey, that must have been scary. Did they find out what it really was?
but apparently it was stress from being totally pissed off
going to forage for lunch, then dr appt. bbl
too young ru!
stress is bad for you jm
ah, much better than a heart attack
bye peri
bye periwinkle
byeee
no shit ru!
jm.. all the cabana boys are 20 in the PB
wow, sounds like a warning to find a better way to vent stress and anger, jmc. Take care of yourself!
i skipped the meeting on monday that was the source of my stress and just sent them a report
smart woman
hmmmm cabana boys
never had that reaction before sprite
normally i yell for a short while and move on
I hope you'll hever have it again either
me too!
i learned 8 years ago to avoid all stress,got to the point where i would start stuttering and when under great stress forget the names of common objects around me
but spending 4 days not really working was nice even if part of it was in hospital
jeez crossy that sounds terrible
was nasty
*hugs crossy* Isn't it awful how we can let people or situations get to us?
that isn't stress symptoms crossie..that's old age..lol
lol
lol ruru
and now, jmc? Kickboxing lessons, more ti4 off from work?
isn't fetre the british spelling of feter?

bye ruru, take care!
well since my job ends July 31 I don't want to rush it ;-)
bye ru
great to see you sprite
crossy dreads his tests;(
fetro?????

a fetro would be a flying me5.
a fetro would be a pinching grandfather
ah, the end is in sight. Just the kickboxing lessons then, jmc :)
lol
got it ty ru
I hope not the end; I hope the beginning of something new
something new and better :)
that is the theory
it often works. Because you want it to work out great.
life is a series of doors,and bridges,some doors may open,some bridges may be crossed,some may not,our path may not meander the way we wish,but it is the trip and not the destination that counts;)
...mmm tea and meds for crossy
*hugs crossy* I hope they are bacon flavored
:)) ty ((sprite))
i suppose that ro**y is not word on its own and only exists in ro**y-po**y
am afraid so. I couldn't make it work either.

hello all
Hi aslindy
hiya, foot's doing much better than last night. nasty cut and bruise going on though! i'm so glad i get today off, so i don't have to try to stick a shoe on it.
you guys get much snow scrabs?
Hey, all. :)
4 inches overnight Saturday-Sunday and a dusting yesterday. Snow day for you, I see. How much do you have so far?
Hi cgw
not at all sure to be honest, the blowing and drifts make it hard. i'm eyeballing 2 feet though, at a rough guess.
any idea where i can find official snowfall amounts online?
I wish we were getting that--I would love to XC-ski and snowshoe for another 3 wks.
we're supposed to get warm weather the rest of the week, it'll melt fast
feather, did you try wunderground.com?
www.weather.com
weather.com posts storm totals?
i think i looked there aslindy
k. I prefer them over the other, as they don't have the popups
There are lots of stats--enter your zip code.
oh well THAT'S a lie! lol, weather.com says 9 inches for the past 24 hours. ummmm, NO.
In 9? .Can't find it at all.
for those interested,here are a few recent pic from round here
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/your_ weather/details/620/4071623/2/caon0158 /plpcities/?ref=ugc_city_thumbs
The storm exceeded even the weather service's expectations. Forecasts last night were calling for 10 to 16 inches of snow. In the end, the region received between 15 and 21
my house has got to be around the 21 or higher mark
kenny....in9= in5+big town
Where does your snow come from? For us Lake Erie is our snow machine.
georgian bat is our snow machine up here
bay*
thanks for the clue, musica
we get lake effect snow from erie and the finger lakes
uvw kenny
Sometimes you get big snowfalls when we don't, Feather, that's why I wondered.
uvw aslindy
Not sure why
i just updated my flickr photos
the top 4 are from this morning.
TONS of snow!
sadly i cannot update or put mine in for that matter;((
How many of you also play the iron sudoku?

I was probably the only kid in my 3rd grade class to recognize Rodin's The Thinker when we went to the Phila. Art Museum!!
lol
If it follows you into the bathroom, jmc, watch out!!
lol that would worry me!
I hate "I" words - if I could get any of the 2 I's I could go to bed NBT and happy! Grrr
Oh, I also need a Y

hi, all!
Back home at last.....
nbt...

Boy it's hard to play this on an iPhone
I'll bet, GE! (I have a new HTC Inspire but haven't tried to play on it)
jmc, I love your roses! They were my mother's favorite flower...
hello all -- just finished and can clue for a bit
yay, jilli!
Hi Sue, glad to hear you're home. It must feel good.
good job
btw, that in9 means between large towns -- I got stuck on the other clue
It does, Molly, and my dad is doing really well, which is good too. Thx!
It must be a comfort to know that your Dad is doing so well. Good for him. I bet he misses you though.
He does; he called me this morning to tell me so! Also to tell me that he had taken his morning pills and brought in the newspapers.
He is lucky to have such a good daughter Sue.
thx - it's been hard on me in many ways, but I do feel useful, which is nice.
I think it often feels strange when we get to the point where we need to take care of our parents. Major role reversal.
Yes, and it also brought up some earlier sadnesses (the deaths of my mom, brother, and sister, for example). But it was a really good visit.
hi
Hi again everyone!
hi, jmc! Beautiful roses!
it actually felt stranger to me when my older sisters all deferred to me!
ty uu they have always been my favorite even before i took up peacemaking as a business
hi car.ee
hi, car.! How are things with you?
I don't feel well today, but otherwise we are good.
no clues needed? I'll be off, then, for Lexulous
sorry you don't feel well
Bye Jilli!
Hope you're not catching whatever Dylan had!
:-P jilli i just got back on! lol
have fun at lexulous
No, I don't believe it is the same....had a headache this afternoon.
not nearly ready for clues yet, Jilli!
well, I'm still here if you do want a clue or two
lol I am stuck on the G have walk, sport, and spoiled and that is it!
Jilli...I could use some help with the upper O in the left column....
are there any gi words?
I was gratified when morewords shoed me that the ones I couldn't find weren't exactly familiar.
look into my eyes car and ob** me!
another word for sexy legs.....
never saw that spelled that way before car ty
All the Gs are ga
Neither had I!
*sigh*
one who does the walking is a GA 6/24
the O is what jmc said plus others
And plural the legs too for ga 5/20
others?
that got me going again ty jilli
*Passes some ginger/lemon tea to sick Car*
looks as if I'm not neeeded, so bye!
om** is a fish car meaning to leave out
TY Molly! I was just thinking I might need some.

hi babblers
om** i think is a middle eastern ruler
Hi welki!
hi welki
Ty for the O clues!
well that is all I gots
two more to find
ob** plural sash
We'll get them eventually!
one more O (from that O)
Got it! Sounds like a gem...change first vowel!
OM 5/16
??
The gem is made from very old tree resin...
...but change the first letter to O
grrrrr
It is also a girl's name.....
i know the word but it is not coming to me --give me a minute though
that
...but change the first vowel to O
that's it! ty
a man, a spanish man, a mexican guy in a movie .. an h*****

and then move the last 2 letters
or .. so 6/27 minus the s
Yes! That is the one!

:-)
*whew* that O is greyed!

he is the greatest.
or at least one of the greatest.
hi all
hehehe, a few months ago, a friend from grade school found me on facebook and sent me a cd of me singing from the 60s .. suzanne was on there, story of isaac, some others
hello, help with the left side, middle O, for nbt?
I love Leonard Cohen. Jennifer Warnes version of "Song Of Bernadette" was very special to my husband and I.
she still has the original reel to reel and was able to get it onto cd somehow
pay attention, do as i say, ob** me!
ob 6 = someone who plays a reed instrument
nope, that's the one above, but thanks!
Ooh! Leonard Cohen!!! One of my favorites as well.
how cool. i used to play for weddings when i was in high school. suzanne. joan of Arc here
top left I for NBT - can anyone help?
feather, was the ob6 it?
ah, possibly welki
oohhhh, me too!
famous blue raincoat... also a fav. did you catch the criminal minds episode with tim curry - part 2 had several cohen songs.
thanks welki - I needed that one too!
i + a mid***** night's dream, except spell it like fake old English
Yes - I'm Your Man - sooooo sexy!!!!!
closing time .. that's my fave, now
oh, i missed your clue for it! got it, ty!
thanks uusue2. can't imagine what the other one will be :-)
yw, roses, and I don't have the other one either :-)
the other would be is + opto***** or tele*****
omg thank you welki I never would have guessed, or monkeyed that one... Is it a chemistry term?
math
aah thank you.
where in northern ca are you? waaaaaaaaaay up north?
thx, welki!
my uncle lived in alturas, he and my aunt now live in lakeport ... and i picked peaches in yreka a million years ago
ha. 99 words, so more than half way :-)
i should be thinking about getting something in the oven for supper ... later, babblettes
Oh, I'm thinking of a new band, BabbleRabble and The Babblettes. : P
bye, welki!
haha, love it, Molly!
I can do great doo-whop and I can dance just like The Pips. : )
lurking, lurking, lurking ... rose must know my family and now she's run away :)
Welki! I thought you were fixing dinner!
decided to throw a big chicken pot pie in the oven .. making tomorrow's lunches, doing the homey thing for a few minutes ... but keeping a laptop on the kitchen counter is too much temptation *lol*
:-) just keep the chicken broth off it....
this grid is impossible...
it's just nice to watch the conversations ... keeps my mind off ***MONDAY AT WORK***
glad to hear I am not the only one having trouble!
i should have been a researcher .. a wealthy researcher .. a wealthy researcher with no other staff ... nah, just wealthy :)
wealthy would work for me :-)
Oh...now I want chicken pot pie.
molly .. must confess, i bought it at costco. it's deeelish
probably better than the ones i've made
all white meat
ok, break time. may be back later. happy babbling
it does sound good - couldn't have it here, though, it would need to be gluten free for my SO
when I click on lickety's clues below, i keep getting "404 error" message ?!
huh. someone else was saying that earlier; they work for me.
maybe quit out of your browser and restart?
just clicked .. working here
rats! i already did that . . . could you possibly copy the clues into your profile?? pretty please?
here, try the link directly: http://r46.me/babbleclues.html
thanks, welki!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well. Now that I have lickety open, there's really no reason not to use it, is there??
Une-I was getting the same thing-logged out, waited & came back in-still nothing!
:-D
the link welki gave me worked -- thank goodness!
welki-that wasn't the link I've always used but that did the trick--Many THANKS! I need that list tonight.
my pleasure
hi kids
Well, hit me with a fish.
*thwap*
what kind of fish?
Hi, Esprit and Kaplan!
i give you a clue .. it's the name of a fish
an li4 fish
Hi uu
hi jean hi kap
hi TO
hi uusue, sorry missed you
Hi TO Hi all.
i found the strangest thing on line today.
np
this grid is teasing crossy:(
OK, that sent about 29 things scuttling through my mind, TO!
gimo
me too and I usually have little impulse control
crossy! a restaurant her is serving popcorn popped in bacon grease.
That actually sounds good, TO!
a traditional treat;)
it is so good folks stop for it on the way to the nearby cinema
well i don't do oily, no taste for it
Instant heart attack.
in a bag
just eating the bug killer off of veggies will kill you
Organnnnnnnics
well given revent events, i sure don't need THA
T
Or wash them.
Life is what kills people anyway.
organics cost 10 dollars a pound lol
100% of people who get born eventually die.
a coworker died yesterday. she was 51
Yikes.
cancer will kill me off anyways
too young!
what happened Owl?
she had such a hard time for motnhs last year, her med stopped wokring. schizophrenia
I will probably die choking on popcorn or something.
suicide?
but they don't know why. yet. she was also diabetic and they think it had something to do ith her insulin.
i will die in a horrific car crash on the way to collect my lottery winnings...
she had recently come back to work but had lost her apartment during her illness
oh, a complicated medical situation, sounds like; hard to keep the meds straight, and from interfering with each other
she was a twin. that always intrigues me, how one could have that and not the other.
could be fraternal from different eggs
the interesting thing i found today was LifeGem. google it.
TO, I'm very sorry to hear about your co-worker.
ty molly.
oh, I've heard of those, TO! Seems a little....weird...but who am I to say?
i am not sure what i think of it. i think i would like to be one.
then i could leave me to someone! :D
guys love the idea of twins,secretly swap wives and all that good stuff lol
and on that note,time for med s and relaxinbg with my mrs,tc and happy babbling...poof!
bye, crossy!
Hey, y'all. On my screen where Lickety's list is a little box saying, The URL you have requested could not be found. (404) Any help, please.. Thanks
I read about things like lifegem after my husband died. It didn't feel right for me. I scattered his ashes around a lake that was special to us. That worked for me. Everyone needs to make their own decision regarding things like that.
direct link to Lickety: http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html
Thanks, uusue2, I'll do that now.
i was just so surprised that that was possible and also marketed.
I did as you directed and an alligator came on and said 404 was not there or ever existed.
Huh. Let me try something else.
Thanks so much,uusue2.
oh, so it did work?
Good thing because that was the only trick I know :-)
No, dear. I've tried refreshing but didn't work either.
Oh, well. I don't know what else to tell you to try :-(
Is there a way to contact Lickety and see if he could advise?
I was just at lickety's site and had no problem getting in.
How do I do that, please, fuzzybunny?
I just clicked on the link from this site.
i just got on and had no trouble. maybe you should turn off your computer and then try again? and hi.
OK, I have put the word list in my profile for those who are having trouble with lickety.
And now I am off to watch House. Back later.
Is that how you tried the first time?
There are a number of things you can do with cremated remains as a keepsake. More options than there used to be, I guess.
feeling smug cause i found the to 5/14 without help
Are you a chemist Dorens?
i sprinkled my dad up on the hill behind a rock i can sit on and chat with him from time to time. and no, far from it fuzzy!
Fuzzybunny, I clicked onto Lickety's address at the bottom of this page and it told me that 404 URL could not be found.
We have sprinkled the ashes of my in-laws and their brothers and sisters at the beach where all of the children spend the summer.
I don't know what else to tell you to do. I have had major internet problems today in Maine due to the storm.
Dorens, that sounds like a nice place to sit and chat with your Dad. Good choice.
yes, as long as i live in this house... can't dig up the ashes and bring them with me if and when i move, though
Dorens, I read a suggestion about that. If/when you move, just take a piece of the Earth that you shared your loved one with. And then incorporate that into your new place. I don't know if that would work for you, but I thought it was a nice suggestion.
yup, i probably will molly.. whether or not his remains actually come with me is another story, and of course his spirit is always within me.
hello all my lovelies!
howdy cosdem
<-- very excited.. i have a new blackberry!
now if i can get the darned package open :P
interesting idea
they don't make it easy, do they? so why are you babblng now?
which owl?
because i want to do both at once lol
I agree Dorens. The best part is that the spirit of your loved one is with you wherever you go.
gapeach, first, try shutting your computer down and restarting. if that doesn't work, let me know, and i'll see if i can help more.
fair enough
taling a bit of the earth you shared
dhahh.. after 15 mins i finally got the package open
yes, I really feel he is with me wherever I go, though. and can talk to him anywhere anytime.
who?
sounds like I walked in the middle of a religious discussion
Cos, congrats on your new toy. Wow, this chat is all over the radar screen tonight. : D
(please not the footprints on the beach story)
my dad. in my mind. Ruru.. just split a split of 82 haut brion graves.. premier grand clue.. oh my god, talk about religious!
crue, not clue. am about to email ken shamelessly!
oh.. whew
the clue would be to clue him to send you more
i'm hoping that will work (and i know it's cru, not crue, or clue... am feeling a bit happy, and that is a nice thing)
bye
:)
i was wondering what clue i missed
bye owl
bye TO
heather, nice snow you guys got, eh?
I don't miss my dad
yup, just a little bit
you'd miss mine if you'd known him ru. wish you had.
that is so nice when it works like it should good for you doren
pics in my flickr
there is this sweet after taste to the haut brion that makes me lick my lips... incroyable!
that's called ripe fruit doren
well this is just as ripe as it gets
the ripest on record next to 61, 47, and 29
oh. ok. then that makes sense. never had any of them!!
I haven't started really missing my dad, which makes me sad because I know that will come soon enough
evening everyone - looks like I came into a deep conversation here...
a bittersweet feeling, nrk. nice to have had him. sorry he's not here now, but glad he was when he was.
Hi ((Nrkii))...grief comes in stages. How are you doing today?
sorry to start out sad... hi everyone!!!
very mixed day... my mother is really having a tough time
it's ok nrk. we've all been there, or will be, and it is a part of life.
she blames herself
why?
oh no!
oh that's hard nrkii
she says she was with him every day, and she should have done more to help him ... he was malnourished, which was a big part of why he couldn't withstand this last illness
doesn't she feel that maybe it was his time?
no, definitely not
i hope she can get help with that. is she religious? (not that I am, but it sure seems to help folks)
my dad was only 72, and he had made it through worse illnesses in the past... plus, they were married for over 49 years... she wasn't ready for it to be his time
72 is young to go..
yes it is..
does she have anyone to talk to about it, anyone who can help her out?
ru, to be fair, he was physically much older than 72, due to rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and a couple of ICU encounters over the years
oh.. that makes a difference..
but still, my mom is 71, and she's a young 71, so in her mind, it was way too soon
feather, she will have to get help, and she knows it, but she's not ready to reach out
ah, ok. hopefully she'll be ready soon. wish i had words of wisdom for you.
I may have to consult my favorite gerontologist for some medical knowledge to help my mom understand that she didn't do anything wrong
excellent idea
Too soon for you too, Nrkii. It's never easy for a daughter to lose their Dad.
haven't spoken to mine since August...wish it were different.
yes Molly, I agree... I'm coping, and I'm letting myself be angry and sad and then still have fun and laugh, so I think I'll be okay
plus, your dad sounds like he was fairly stubborn. she could have TRIED to get him to eat more/better, but if he didn't want to, she couldn't strap him down and force feed him!
but someone said, grieving is NOT a linear process, so I know there will be times when I am 2 steps forward 4 steps back
feather, exactly
hey all.
she treated him with respect and let him keep his dignity
hiya stid
hi stid!!!
sorry to hear that Angela, families can be hard, can't they?
hi stid!
Losing someone comes in bits and pieces. It doesn't come all at once. I think that would be too much to bear.
yup.
(((hugs for nrk and mom)))
hey feather -- is that snowplow still stuck?
thanks stid... gratefully accepted
loved the snowplow!

HI STID! ( HUGS)
DR!!!! I am SO HAPPY to see you!!! (((hugs and hugs))) how you been?
how's the jake-monster?
I am good! and you?
Jake is wonderful! He was cast in the Kids chorus of Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat
the chorus is him and 6 girls aged 8-12
well -- the paper was accepted, and my presentation is tomorrow. So life is looking up at the moment, though we still don't know where I will be student teaching... in exactly 2 weeks. I hope.
woo-hoo!!!! that is excellent for Jake! rofl... (and his harem)
GOod for you! We need more teachers who care
yes, it is a harem indeed
stidkid #2 (the actor) says, "OH YEAH... get 'im Jake!"
he is going to be very busy though
: )
oh yes, it is busy to be in a production. stidkid just got back from an audition. He is really hoping to get in. I am rather hoping he doesn't....
It is his first real production-
FIngers crossed for Stidkid
I volunteered to go in to my friend's classroom in June once I am done student teaching, to help with additional end-of-year activities. Offered to teach the creative writing unit again, or "whatever they need" (really trying to make myself indispensible! LOL)
mere
thanks DR.
OOPS
Jakester likes their student teacher better than the regular one..
hi stid hi dr, whooo hoooo for jakester and gl for stidkid2
well we student teachers get to do a good bit of the "fun stuff" -- we are notorious for "engaging lessons" LOL
hey LBD!
Hi Dawger!
apparently shoo was looking for you several hours ago LBD, did she get hold of you?
argh, i haven't checked my emails. i bet we were suppose to skype today...
woohoo, good Maxine, dawg, love it!
brb- need to get the Jakester from karate... Just tattoo Jake's Taxi on my forehead
actually we are required to do those types of lessons which are really hard to do on a regular basis; just to prove we can if necessary.
later DR!
hey rbud!
hi rbud!
later, DR.
reminds me of my old man, more polite but same general reasoning, he calls everyone "Ma'am" and "Sir"... but not with lots of respect, if you know what I mean. He's bad with names.
darn, ni4y isn't a word? guess it's only the last half of willy-ni4y, huh...
lol, i tried it too, rbud
but ni5 is, as in ni*** neato!
ty, I was just thinking along that line when you said it! :)
okay, going to go cook some tuna for supper (real tuna, still looks like fish) -- back later maybe. *poof*
oooh, i want real tuna...fresh tuna, sashimi grade tuna....drool
bye, stid, enjoy
bon apetito, stiddy
<-- (hasn't had a fresh tuna since about 1981 when I lived in Wash. State)... mmmm....
good lord, 30 years! O_O
i know, i think i had it fresh caught when my grandson had his first birthday...6 years ago!
now i'm going to dream about charlie the tuna! lol must head for my pillows. good luck with the grid, rbud. hope to see you soon!
we used to have grilled tuna and champagne brunches... later!
running out of M words, wow, don't see 30! have 24 total so far...
i have 24 m's too!
have you got the small bird of prey/Arthurian wizard? Or the red wine?
Have you got the mo7 - Al Capone type person?
yep yep yep and yep
love mo7 - nice juicy word
good evening all!
Have you got mi6/21 - the one who makes things methol?
*meNthol, I meant.
Hi Dan.
i have a mi6/21 but i'm not sure i get the clue! i have a common last name for that.
Have you got mo5 - slightly damp and mo6 more damp?
oh wait, i know what you mean - got it.
y/w speller.
It wasn't the man who grinds grains to make flour.
i have that one and the one who prints money.
mo7 - even more damp.
yep
mo6/27 - a half as a triber might divide it. Same first three letters as 'damp' then an internet of tect shortform of 'thank you'.
with 59 left, i must hit the hay. evening all!
If that helps.
Speller - I think you mean 'night all.
No matter! I know what you meant. Sleep welll.
oo that 6/27 is another good word. 58 left, and now i am REALLY leaving.
Did anyone compile a list for today's grid?
evening all
Lickety's List is available, michelle (below the grid under "Friends of Babble"
That's giving a "not found url" message.
that's odd...let me see if I can get another one for you
Thanks, PInk!
http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html
Thanks! That worked.
* smile * happy to be of assistance
hey all ((pini))
heya stid ;)
how's your presentation?
pini, do you want me to send you the link to the presentation I am doing tomorrow? I have it set to not public (need permission for a couple of the graphs I am using before I do that)
evening :)
sure! :)
hey jes
but it's online and ready to go. I am sort of getting nervous, but ... not overwhelmed. Yet. Trying to focus on the positives, like getting to wear pretty clothes and have everyone looking at me for 15 minutes... *twirls* I will wear a PINK blouse. and my wicked-cool tall black boots (which will barely show under my long skirt, but *i* shall know they are there)
hey jes! how's the critter business?
ooooh, sounds like fun, stid...I'm sure you're going to do just great!
you still use the msn email pini?
busy. and very... i dunno. practical, i guess.
yep :)
just posted on lj about my evening. it's kinda gruesome.
I hope mostly busy for routine things.
oh oh... (((jes)))
okay, hold on a sec.
sorry to hear, jes
jes, you want a completely non-critter diversion? you could see my presentation too if you like.
hope it looks up soon
that's the thing, it wasn't routine things, but everyone involved handled thing so calmly that it's... i guess it's like i keep waiting for someone to freak out...
And then Bruce spent the day at his gramma's, saying goodbye. she's dying of liver cancer, probably this week.
ah jes, just read your post. (((more hugs))) *sadness*
oh dear *sends loving thoughts to Bruce and his grandmother*
oh so very sorry ;(
then he gets home and his mom tells him that he should go with her on friday to divvy up her gramma's stuff because she's been moved to a home...
so it's kind of an off week. and it's only monday...
* sigh *
jeez. *stern mama look at Tuesday and Wednesday -- and a glance at Thursday and Friday too*
heh
i'm not sure that stern looks will be enough to dissuade this week, stid! :)
hoping the 1992 chianti Tom brought up from the shed will go well with the tuna we are baking. made a fennel and orange (and assorted veggies) marinade sorta thingy to bake it in, trying to cut some of the oiliness. Never knew tuna was supposed to be oily until we got fresh tuna a few years back!
be6?
I don't have that one pini
did send you the link.
danke ;)
* back to looking *
so you are presenting tomorrow?
yep. in the first group to go, starting at 10:30.
getting it over with quickly :)
you'll do great, i'm sure :)
well, was assigned that spot, and I am just as happy to have it! LOL I always hate going AFTER someone who is spectacular (and there are several...)
so... does it mean anything psychological do you think that I only JUST saw the "not drunk" words?
I'm sure they're afraid of you, too, stid!!! You're awesome!
(I just found 'em, too)
well, i didn't see 'em until you just mentioned it...
rofl pini! you're SO great for my ego!
* curtsy *
thanks for mentioning them, btw; i got 4 words from that :)
hm. *i* only got two!!! *looks harder*
add a dbl hump near the front, stid for 2 more
add another consonant, similar word and same as a different meaning of the not-drunk word
and remove the first letter for a few more ;)
LOL tom says "OH! this is done!" I think the tuna is WELL cooked!
thanks jes and pini!
better go enjoy it then, stid! :)
aha! thanks! down to 45. ((hugs and cognac -- tonight calls for more than choclit)) see you-all again later! *poof*
have fun, stid ;)
how's the search for beagle homes going, pini?
woot woot ... found the 9!
it went smoothly, jes!
that's good :)
They're in a great place!!! Even went on a road trip with the new owners to AZ and back and had a wonderful time! (they're homed together)

I've tried this for a few days now. I'm generally not bad with words, but this beats me hands down. Surely people must get help from a solver?
I need another 75 today lol
yes vanilla. the helper is called Lickety's List
there are some very strange words here today!
yes, I've used lickety, and that helps, but only to an extent. There's words I wouldn't dream up!
hellooo from down under
anyone there????
oh, well. *shrugs shoulders* back to solitaire
THERES A FEW PEOPLE HERE, BUT ITS BEEN AVERY QUIET NIGHT, GRANNY
It's also a very tough puzzle.
just wondered if i could help babblers to finish, is all
I'm so far from finishing I'd hate to ask
let's try
OK. clue for the top left is
is + round letter + first person singular + hook letter
fyre
hello hello.. didn tbother to do todays grid.. but ill do as much as i can :) 131 left
is8, is + round letter + simple simon *** a pieman + **e is a type of grain
Now that is an odd word.
bi8, bi + round letter + same ending as for is8
the is8 is similar to the bi8... same last 5 letters
aw granny beat me to it :)
*giggle* snap cos
the bi8 is a word i monkeyed after seeing the is8.. iw as rather proud of myself :)
yay cos, ditto here
122 left. 10 mins. aint gonna make it. my first grid with no fireworks in months!
and my 4th non-firework grid altogether. ill live.
am8, am + first person singular + cross letter + part played in film
ineed one more 8.. i have am8, bi8, is8. and so8... whats the last one?
co7, co + little word for about + mamma ***( an abba song)
fe8, fe + fabulous bird + sex appeal + sometimes vowel
hmmmmmm
or fe8, fe + hook letter + fourth vowel + another word for a town
fabulous bird? alli know about birds is what i saw on sesame street :P
Now you've clued it, it jumps right out of the grid. How could I miss it?
lol, cos
