ty I tried lickety but theyre yesterdays I think

1:08 am

Maybe for you, flosey, but I'd have to look for a recipe, gather the ingredients, do the measuring, put them out on a baking sheet, clean up the mess, and wait for them to cook, then take them out to cool...but I bet yours are delicious

1:09 am

night all.. I'm too tired to see anything else

1:10 am

forgeddaboutit dart. I'm done

I hate when it takes so long to heal... still can't get rid of this upper respiratory infection...

1:47 am

gonna sleep in the recliner tonight...don't sleep well...but better than flat on a bed

1:48 am

hate those infections...glad I don't have to cough much...too painful

1:49 am

nurse said to "hug a pillow hard when you cough"...helps a bit

I bet it would be a killer... sleeping in a bed killed by hubby too... he tried couch, then slept in bed with scads of pillows

same instructions after surgeries.. hold across area to help muscles from hurting

1:50 am

i'm a side sleeper...and flip a lot...have to sleep on my back in the bed...so the recliner is better

great idea... what is this doing to your move?

1:51 am

not even worrying about that yet..wife just got home from a raleigh nc bus. trip

that's good... stay away from stress and heal :~) How was her trip?

1:53 am

went well....saw her for a whole 10 mins when she got home...she was tired

I always crashed on travel days... especially if we flew

my last 26 are taking forever...

goooooooooooooooood morning fellow babblers xxx

3:16 am

And a good morning to you frogface - just back after dinner and don't know where to start with 117 to go (fancy admitting to such a disaster!) ...

3:16 am

well i started about 15 minutes ago and have got 35 words so far! did u have a pleasant dinner?

3:17 am

One of my favourites as far as being the cook goes - left-overs!

3:18 am

always an easy option lol

3:19 am

Well, we can't have them going off in the fridge can we? lol to you and cheers to left-overs.

3:23 am

sorry had to dash to the toilet!!! too much info i know but didnt want u thinking i was ignoring you xxx

3:24 am

would never think that of you

3:25 am

am also having terrible connection probs here so i will reply at some point lol

3:26 am

good luck with the connections and the grid

3:26 am

ty and u too xxx

3:45 am

good morning everybody

3:46 am

hi everyone could you tell me how many words there are today please

3:46 am

Hi ruby and 173 cool

3:47 am

ty

3:50 am

funny dictionary this one - we in the UK have a word - gurn - which means to distort the face for comic effect - and yet it's not in the dictionary on here! ho hum!!

3:51 am

It would accept girn, though, which means the same thing.

3:51 am

oooo didnt know that haz! ty for future info lol

3:52 am

My inclination would be to spell it gurn as well, but the dictionary thinks differently, unfortunately.

3:52 am

I know what you mean - there are lots of Oz words that are not accepted (eg. rort, roos). I think for an international babble there should be more leeway for acceptable words.

3:53 am

oh well - im having enough trouble with this grid as it is! hour and half and still only got 56 words!!! and as for the G - well I cant see any of them!!

3:53 am

You just have to accept the limitations of any one dictionary and remember that it's a game, I think.

3:54 am

ge5/14 - like Aladdin's lampbound friend but double vowel at the end.

3:54 am

yay for haz!!!!!!

3:54 am

i know theres an un8 but whats the other 8?

3:54 am

thx haz

3:54 am

ge5/14 - like French for type or category of book, perhaps, but change the vowel at the end and then plural.

3:55 am

in8 and fi8 - being the plural of the fishy leg end.

3:55 am

nice clues, haz, ty

3:55 am

double yay for haz!!! lol

3:55 am

ty

3:55 am

gu6/27 - ends with French negative.

3:55 am

PHone..

3:56 am

thx again haz

3:56 am

clue for the un8?

3:56 am

not getting the fishy clues tho lol

3:56 am

unroot

3:57 am

omg sorry!!!

3:57 am

fi7 - combine a fish part with a human leg end part

3:57 am

in8 - shoddy, not up to standard. Note, IN8

3:58 am

oooo ty haz xxx

3:58 am

ty for the in8 someone at flip said un8 so was lookin forever

3:58 am

You're welcome. By the way, gremlinn has a list on his profile (find him on rankings)

3:59 am

finleger? lol

3:59 am

ok i gotta go now but will see u all lata

3:59 am

that sounds right, cos!

3:59 am

That was an in8 call at flip if they said un8!

3:59 am

You've got the first part, now four letters for what finishes off your leg.

4:00 am

4:26 am

The (in?)famous Gurnos estate

4:26 am

Hi Haz, thanks for amazing clues. Just been on phone with daughter Jessica who had 2nd son Patrick on Wednesday. Sent home after 1 night to partner, 1st son, and 2 step-daughters with the message - if you go home today you will get 3 home visits from a midwife, if you stay for a 2nd night you get no home visits. Bit tough I think.

4:27 am

hi ivesy, hi SaraY

4:27 am

Sara, congratulations on your new grandson. I sympathise, my friend is/was a midwife and she despaired of having to send mothers home so early.

4:28 am

congrats on the grandson sara

4:28 am

She felt it was like a conveyor belt and wasn't able to give the sort of support that would have been standard years ago. The bottom line is that they want you out of that hospital bed.

4:28 am

ok 2 more.. i need 2 more Es in the bottom 5th column..

4:29 am

what are the stats for them

4:29 am

The infamous Gurnos estate mustn't be infamous enough, Ray.

4:29 am

i have the el5/16

4:29 am

congratulations on the grandson, Sara. I didn't get any help at home with my first child, because I had to stay in hospital for too long. Crazy rules!

4:29 am

er4/4 and er7/28

4:29 am

Thankfully all is well and step-daughters old enough to be of help but the extra night's rest would have been invaluable. Hi crystalle and sprite.

4:30 am

u sure about the er4/4 ?

4:30 am

No, you're right, cosdem, it comes from another tile.

4:30 am

ok whew

4:30 am

if you mean the love god, he is not from there :)

4:31 am

4:34 am

ok i dont have that.. looking

4:34 am

thx Haz

4:34 am

It's been in the grid recently, comparative ending.

4:34 am

i remember that clue...

4:35 am

What the dyslexic aspiring poets said to each other. 'My poem is ri6 than yours'

4:35 am

it is a phantomy grid

4:35 am

dumbn it down so i can go?

4:36 am

I gotta go cook dinner. There are 3 kids and a hubby acting as if they havent eaten in days! IF i hear i a STARVING one more time i will SCREAM!

4:36 am

oh i already have that lol

4:36 am

*puts fingers in ears*

4:36 am

oh well ill look tomorrow.. night al/have a good day

4:36 am

Oh Haz you have done it again - what a wonderful clue!

4:36 am

you going now, cosdem?

4:36 am

poof!

4:37 am

WHAT a cruel woman you are, Sarah. Children starving and you're looking for words. I don't know. I'm shocked...

4:37 am

And a husband left to chew on his shoes.... Shocking.

4:37 am

???

4:37 am

and all that from the woman who starves her dog?

4:38 am

I'm just joking! Honestly!

4:38 am

?????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????

4:38 am

*grins* so was I

4:38 am

and you meant crystalle not Sarah :)

4:39 am

Sara, Haz meant to say crystalle, not Sara, I am sure

4:39 am

Morning ladies.

4:39 am

hey FM! *hugs*

4:39 am

Forget the Sarah ... it is Sara

4:39 am

Sorry! You're right, a case of mistaken identity.

4:39 am

How was your time away sprite?

4:40 am

Okay, time to grovel. Sara, I do apologise, I meant to address my remarks to crystalle rather than you and I should have taken note of your proper spelling. Forgiven?

4:40 am

it was wonderful, FM! And I am not overly tired now, and not overtaxed... seems I reached a milestone in getting better. Am very happy about it.

4:41 am

Grovel accepted, you are forgiven.

4:41 am

oh that IS good sprite!

4:41 am

:D

4:41 am

Hello, FM. I've been making fumblefingers faux pas.

4:41 am

Thank you, Sara, much relief.

4:41 am

Me too

4:41 am

you missed an opportunity though, Haz. You could have blamed FM.

4:42 am

Poor Haz, are you typing from under the desk again?

4:42 am

Not quite, but if I get any worse I'll be down there.

4:43 am

Under the desk typing is fraught with problems

4:43 am

It is. Mirrors needed and extendable arms, it gets very difficult.

4:43 am

should I ask what is causing the typing from under the desk?

4:43 am

No, better not

4:44 am

or rather: dare I ask?

4:44 am

darn, I was so curious! :)

4:44 am

no-one can see Haz blush when she is under the desk.

4:44 am

In times of stress and shame, I feel like going under the desk. If it's good enough for the dog (her refuge in noisy fireworks times) it's good enough for me.

4:44 am

aw that is a shame. You are cute when you blush, Haz.

4:45 am

I am sure we all - at some time- have an under the desk experience. Makes us human and loveable.

4:45 am

I blush when I remember why I blushed in the past.

4:45 am

good morning ladies:) insomnia used to be a pain before babble:)now i can be a pain to other at all hours of the day and night;)

4:46 am

I am known for my foot-in-mouth moments, that's for sure

4:46 am

crossy, your being a pain is always a delight

4:46 am

Hi crossy, welcome to the flagellating babblers group

4:46 am

Morning (crossy)) what time is it?

4:47 am

:) did i ever tell you that you are my favorite babbler sprite;0

4:47 am

((FM))

4:47 am

5:47 am

4:47 am

What do we have to do to be up there with sprite?

4:47 am

That is not so bad you wimp!

4:48 am

lol Haz, I can sympathise with that.

4:48 am

*hugs crossy*

4:48 am

*passes crossy a good strong mug of proper tea*

4:49 am

since i work afternoons,i have never been one to get up at 4 am just to drink 3 pots of coffee and stare out the window just to watch the sun come up

4:49 am

mmmm tea.....

4:49 am

you'll have to become sprite, Sara... it isn't so easy ;)

4:49 am

I will give up now - an impossible task and all power to you sprite

4:50 am

it's another love god day, FM... He waves at you today :)

4:50 am

on the other hand, Sara, you truly excel in being Sara!

4:51 am

sprite, you have made my day!!

4:51 am

:D

4:51 am

10 more mins then I have to go :(

4:52 am

aw FM :( hate to see you go. But love to see you, however short, anyway.

4:52 am

how's your garden coming along?

4:52 am

Everthing is bursting for and unfurling.

4:53 am

that is wonderful. Great to see it moving along every day, isn't it :)

4:54 am

A good chance to say farewell FM as I really should be concentrating on this grid - chatterbox can be so addictive and before you know it the clock is almost down to nothing.

4:54 am

It is indeed. Phooey phone so TTFN.

4:54 am

bye Sara, have fun and sleep well. bfn, FM *hugs*

4:55 am

Bye, Sara and FM.

4:56 am

I should go as well.

4:56 am

I'm still here and plugging away - just saying bye to FM who had to go.

4:57 am

Ah, in that case, I'll say farewell to you, Sara and sprite, as I need to be doing other things.

4:57 am

Enjoy the grid and have a really good day. Bye!

4:57 am

Bye Haz, have a good one (as we say in Oz)

4:58 am

Will do! *gone*

5:01 am

bye Haz, have a grand day!

/yawn hai again all

5:02 am

hi MissO :)

/hugs sprite... omgno lickety?!?!?!

5:03 am

no, not yet anyway. Lickety is often busy with football or socker on Fridays.

Ah I see, I thought it might have been an April Fools day joke :P

there are 7 g's and I cannot find one, please help!!

5:05 am

lol, am afraid not. But I read in the children's newspaper this morning that the government has made a new law that says: all school children who come to school too late for 3 times in a year will be outplaced for a week in an institution that teaches them time management. I bet that IS a joke!

5:05 am

hi Jj, am sorry, I only have one so far. Like the restaurant's listing of foods, but starting G.

ahahahahahaha! I announced on facebook i was pregnant...

gosh, sprite, I wish it wasn't a joke! what a brilliant idea

5:06 am

lol MissO!

5:06 am

*pops bac in* There is no lickety today due to the extra word yesterday. Until he resets the prog it will not run properly again. *poof*

i only announce this once a year...

thanx sprite, for my first g

sigh... thanks FM

5:07 am

it was a very good and thorough article. Number on hours of missed education, costs, how they are gonna train those kids... very well done. Convincing!

5:07 am

gremlin has a list in his profile

5:07 am

gu7/52 compound word related to word on bottom row

6:33 am

NIce. it is getting cold. Vanilla you in Melb?

Hope to drive from MEl to Sydney early may

6:38 am

6:38 am

just lopp off the corners, King Procrustus!

6:38 am

{{crossy}} that was meant for you

6:39 am

lol,sorry was stunned there for a second,imagining living in places with no snow....

by 17 they should take their own responsibilty

6:39 am

it's hard to imagine, crossy

6:40 am

you would thing so wouldnt you

I haven't seen snow for eight years now when we were in Aurope

There is snow in the hills in winter and in the Mountains but not like you get. I am praying it isn't like last year

6:40 am

amazing...

I don't want to see it either, love that sun

6:40 am

I hope you've had the worst of it last year and that next year will be mild and even

6:41 am

i must get over there and visit my city one day

My knee is already playing up and it is not even winter. bah humbug

6:41 am

we have a garden full of flowers but there is still snow on the distant mountains

6:41 am

they had a poopy ski season, however!

snow looks nice on a picture

6:42 am

sorry about your knee, herin, you are too young for such troubles!!!!

6:42 am

we are a ski resort town as well ruby,and it is a love/hate thing with the citiots

Ruby I tore both meniscus ligaments in my right knee sitting down and getting up wrong.

6:43 am

oh, that is awful, herin!

trying to find en4,4 but nothing seems to work

Did that years ago. I am special I did it sitting down the two ways are through age or trauma

6:45 am

poor herin!

6:46 am

hello everyone

6:46 am

en and **e King Cole

6:46 am

I think being tall, like you, leads to more injuries of connective tissue. We have the same number of bones and ligaments, but when you are tall, they are more stretched out, hence rthe risk of dopey injuries!

6:46 am

{{annie}}

6:46 am

(((ruby)))) how are you?

6:47 am

enjoying spring at last

lol I was sure I tried that 5 times

6:47 am

That and being a clutz. I fell asleep on the train this morning and had a small puddle of coffee on my leg as a wake up call

6:47 am

Good morning all. What a crappy spring day here in the North east

7:30 am

okay, I'll do that Eva

7:31 am

voting closes in 1.5 hours, so get your vote in now! :D

7:32 am

I just voted.

7:33 am

thanky mom!

I've been voting Eva, on the principal that, were I not in the UK, I would be far more likely to eat from a van selling crepes than a van selling lobster. Lobster I'd try in a restaurant... an *oceanside* restaurant, at that.

7:33 am

thanks for your votes, city!

7:34 am

i have never eaten from either truck, personally, but the crepe truck is owned and run by an old coworker, so ive gotta support her. :)

yw - looks like your friend is creeping up on the competition (do you see how I resisted the urge to pun?)

7:34 am

you're welcome Eva. I am with City, I wouldn't want lobster off a truck. Although I have not eaten either

7:35 am

lol City

7:35 am

heh, they have definitely been gaining ground. poll closes very soon, so it will be interesting to see if they can overtake them in time. honestly, i didnt even expect them to come close, since the lobster truck is HUGE around here.

7:35 am

i don't see the link

it was 44 to 55 when I voted

7:43 am

fi 8/70....RIIIIGHT. What a weird word.

7:44 am

gee Molly, care to clue?

7:45 am

Compound word. A fish swims with a *** + we walk with our ***** (plural).

7:45 am

And the second word sounds like put, not peat.

7:45 am

thanks, molly...weird

7:45 am

thank you so much

7:46 am

maybe thats what they call people with webbed toes...

7:46 am

It sounds like some kind of strange animal.

7:46 am

strange - thanks Molly

((TO)) good morning, how are you feeling?

lousy, mom...i went to work yesterday but had chills and fever last night

7:59 am

oh dear, think you better go to the doctor?

no. they don't do anything, just tell you to treat the symptoms and wait it out

8:00 am

that is terrible. Wish there was something I could do to help

being home today will help

8:02 am

I sure hope so.

weekend plans are on hold.

do you have snow? a fine april fools day

8:03 am

no, we actually have sun this morning. Suppose to have rain showers this afternoon. High in the upper 40's

8:04 am

River was saying they are expecting 12 inches where she lives

yes, i hear that. heavy, wet snow

8:05 am

dark drizzly morning here

8:05 am

I sure hope we are finished with the snow.

8:05 am

Heavy wet snow is the worse I think

hi all

8:14 am

ok, so the kid never came home from his girlfriend's last night, AND he has the car. So I will have to walk to work. *eats quickly*

8:15 am

kid sounds like he needs a punishment.

8:16 am

Well, I don't care about the GF part, he's 21, but we only have one car for the three of us and need to share nicely.

8:16 am

indeed.

8:16 am

He still has time but I'm not optomistic.

8:20 am

actually walking will do me good - I should do it more - but I'd rather it be my own decision (of course, when I make my own decision I get SO to drive me!!)

8:20 am

Oh boy....

8:21 am

oh well. It's about a 20-minute walk, so not that big a deal. And I am off!

I don't know what More Words is

9:06 am

www.morewords.com

9:06 am

Very odd time to stop a poll - why not noon or midnight?

9:07 am

enter the first two letters + asterisk for all the words beginning with those letters, or you can enter the first two letters + number of question marks for the exact number of letters, so for gu 6 you enter gu????

9:08 am

I have Babble Expert, so More Words is under "Resources" in the toolbar

9:08 am

I emailed and requested Expert, but so far no reply

9:09 am

11:02 am

hi nan

11:02 am

Hi nan

11:02 am

sue,way back in the day, we had a prof who used to put up incorrect equations of the board then have us all going nuts trying to find his mistakes and show our work for the correct example...was great fun:)

11:02 am

hi, nan!

11:02 am

hahaha crossy, I do that without meaning to!

11:02 am

that's the gu i can't find bichon

11:03 am

Hi nan! I'm just getting started myself, but this grid seems sticky.

11:03 am

he made it a challenge,was a interesting way to go about it

11:03 am

I started it last night -- left with 111 down

yes, I have that one thx uus

11:04 am

don't have the gu 6 either it has to have one 2 pt letter in it somewhere

11:05 am

...and as there is only 1...

11:05 am

My benchmark for tough grids is to try to run through first without paying any attention to the tile stats--if the first run through nets less than half, it's gonna be a bear for me. My first runthrough on this one netted me 76...

11:07 am

gg jan

11:11 am

OK monkeyed the gu...literally, as it turns out to be a kind of monkey!!

11:11 am

It ends in an anagram of the n word meaning zero.

Actually, not quite the bottle dweller. The plural of a biological category, I think

11:19 am

you are right, jan

11:19 am

Oh, is it the plural of that too? I didn't realize.

11:20 am

I'm not sure that it is either jan, lol

no, the plural of the biological family is genera.

battle noise -- the only thing I can think of is adding shot

thinking how to clue---extension of ri 4/10

11:26 am

The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man. Nothing else that he builds ever lasts. Monuments fall; nations perish; civilization grow old and die out; new races build others. But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on. Still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling men’s hearts, of the hearts of men centuries dead...crossy loves good book quotes...

11:26 am

rhymes with wh***** ball

11:26 am

I have 3 ri 6's

11:27 am

hi cybernan

11:28 am

bye kate

11:28 am

Hi Kallia -- have you thought anymore about what day of the week would be good to meet? and do you want to meet for lunch or tea?

11:29 am

anytea apart from a Wednesdy cyber, and really no preference re lunch or tea...I can fit in with whatever you and hubby are doing :)

ask a man about a flounce lol. The word should have all one pointers and start rin or rio by my thinking

11:30 am

add an extra high scoring into the gun

11:30 am

What about market day lunch (whatever day of the week that is)?

11:30 am

what is a flounce?

11:30 am

Think that is still Tuesday...let me check

11:31 am

ok,i am not happy ,the grid does not take "nooner"

11:31 am

they had a fire in the market square yesterday cyber

11:32 am

a flounce is a larger and gather layer on top of another layer of a piece of clothing --country dance skirts often have foulnces

11:32 am

Hey, all, long time no see.

11:32 am

*flounces

11:32 am

Does anybody has the clues? Please

yes, sorry I had that one

11:32 am

oh no! -- guess we will have to wait and see if the market has re-opened by the first week in June. We are pretty flexible as to days, other than we do like to take in the local market wherever we are.

11:32 am

does sciencegeek babble anymore?

11:33 am

yep it's still Tuesday Cyber...will probably come on the train, parking can be a bit difficult

ri6,21 pls

11:33 am

ok -- we'll keep in touch -- can pick you up at the station

11:33 am

oh I think the market will be open, it was some of the older buildings, opposite to Debenhams...

11:34 am

FM and une have a list Kenny

11:34 am

Thanks

11:34 am

Isn't the market in the old town?

11:35 am

I am going to Salisbury which is close to where Kallia lives.

11:35 am

Thanks. :)

11:35 am

11:36 am

cyber is coming to England.....I live in Hampshire not Scotland :)

11:36 am

I suppose not close in old world miles, but close in North American ones!

11:36 am

Flag for my Scots ancestry :)

11:36 am

sorry my mistake kallia

11:36 am

oh then

11:36 am

no mistake jmc....how would you know :)

11:37 am

And as a 2nd generation Canadian, I choose to fly the Candian flag rather than the Scottish one.

11:37 am

lol here!

11:37 am

I wish we could have double flags, like those pins you can buy.

11:37 am

that would be good wouldn't it?

11:37 am

of course i am a *counting on fingers* 7th or 8th generation U.S.

11:38 am

but oddly enough nearly pure blooded scottish for all those generations

11:38 am

oh I see you are celebrating Scottish ancestry too jmc lol

11:38 am

That's OK. I'll deal.

11:49 am

just noticed that I am nbs thanks to someone cluing the fi8 earlier...

11:49 am

but am missing the leftmost I and the central N for nbt.

11:51 am

I think the i is um5/12

11:51 am

thx, hoot!

11:51 am

Ne/7 is the central n I believe

11:51 am

sorry there are 2 im5/12

11:52 am

yw

11:52 am

well, I found one of them, hoot, and also an ne6, so now I have nbt.

11:53 am

the im's have diff vowel end

11:53 am

cyber it is about 6 pm in England

11:53 am

11:54 am

i still have lots of vowel words to find for nbt

11:54 am

ok, got the other one, thx hoot!

11:54 am

12:02 pm

ear plugs in, can't hear the phone

12:07 pm

clue for the fi 8, please?

12:07 pm

start with a part of a fish and end with what your toes are attached to

12:08 pm

what moves a fish + what's at the end of your leg

12:08 pm

but you have to pl it

12:08 pm

then pl

12:08 pm

ty -- it is silly

12:08 pm

yep!

12:09 pm

silly to the max

12:09 pm

still 2 f's to find

have ne6 nerve word but no ne7 physics word exists

12:12 pm

the likelihood of me finding a physics word is nil

nan you would know the parts of an atom

i saw a clue for ne7 that implies that a part of the atom is in this grid

12:13 pm

think that might be the ne4/9 - sounds like physics

12:13 pm

no idea to

12:13 pm

no, someone clued it wrong a while back; it has to do with nerves

12:13 pm

yep

12:13 pm

there are east ne 4/9 fishing villages in Scotland

@ 11:57: ne 7= protons,electrons and ne****s

12:14 pm

WRONG

12:14 pm

have that one to

so there is not ne7?

12:14 pm

not right

12:14 pm

but no ne 7

12:14 pm

that would be neutrons, not in this grid

12:14 pm

nope

ty.

i haad the nerve word ne6

12:16 pm

gremm has a list posted

12:17 pm

no ne 7

12:38 pm

don't have it - sorry

12:38 pm

fr6/33 - in anatomy the little bit of membrane under the tongue

12:39 pm

heaven's to betsy -- have no idea, haz!

12:39 pm

it's nagging at me - I just can't remember it

12:40 pm

In that case, first letters that mean not stale (three) then first letters of when you have no feeling somewhere.

12:40 pm

ty haz :)

12:40 pm

yes! ty

12:40 pm

You're welcome!

hi haz

12:41 pm

hi Haz

12:41 pm

Hello, TO. Feeling any better today?

12:41 pm

And I should say good afternoon/evening all as well.

not really, haz. t for sking

is there a definition about for the in6?

12:42 pm

Oh dear, it's horrible when you're not well. Hope you improve soon.

12:43 pm

The word I know for that fr definition has another u and an l in it. That's why I was confused.

12:43 pm

No in6 in the grid, TO, is it in5 instead? Lots of them.

i am watching a gardening show on qvc and they are showing lavendar topiaries.

i thought there was an in8?

12:44 pm

There is - in8 - of poor quality compared to another

ty i cannot BELIEVE i missed that

and the 5 as well

12:45 pm

Oh, it's as twisty as all get out and you're sick as well. No wonder you didn't see it.

lavendar topiary would be stellar, since most lavendat has such a sprawling habit

12:46 pm

Would you have to keep trimming it all the time?

12:47 pm

need food! bbl

12:47 pm

yes

12:47 pm

I like the look and smell of lavendar in plant form but lavendar perfume doesn't appeal at all.

12:47 pm

Enjoy your food, hoot.

gee, i don't know. that would be certain death with my limited skills

12:50 pm

topiaries have to be kept trimmed to keep their shape

12:50 pm

You could always send it back if it's died before your 30 days is up.

actually one gets a guarantee

12:51 pm

yiu can do it yurself

sort of pricey though

12:51 pm

Well, there you are then, failsafe lavendar.

you get a three year old plant

gee i am so restless today, going from activity to activity and very frustrated.

12:53 pm

It's rotten when nothing takes your fancy for long.

we had snow today haz. :/

12:55 pm

That would have been pretty unwelcome. I assume it's much later than normal?

usuallly march is the end. new england is getting about a foot, we just got enough to coat the trees an it is already gone

12:57 pm

I'm glad it's not sticking around for you. We're used to snow that comes and goes very quickly which is why the past two winters have been so unusual for us with snow lasting weeks.

today is openeing day here for baseball, too

12:59 pm

Does that mean the football season is over or do they coexist?

12:59 pm

off to work for crossy,take care everyone and happy babbling!...poink!

no, football is over. super bowl is in early feb; there may be a probowl shortly after

1:00 pm

gu 6?

1:01 pm

gu6 - it ends in a French negative, bichon.

1:01 pm

or 6, please?

1:02 pm

or6 - Pretty Woman Roy prays to find his missing letter.

1:02 pm

ty Haz

1:02 pm

You're welcome, bichon.

1:02 pm

that would be helpful if I knew french

nice

Nice, Haz.

1:03 pm

who on earth is pretty woman roy?

You do double crostics?

1:03 pm

It's just the word for no in French, hoot.

1:03 pm

And now who has 'Pretty Woman' singing in their head?

1:03 pm

got the or - ty

:/

1:04 pm

Roy O - sang Pretty Woman, American singer from the 60s onwards.

Roy ****** sings for the lonely- hey that's me and I want you only"

1:04 pm

oh -- clue still doesn't make sense to me

It's a double crostic kind of clue, if you do those.

1:05 pm

Always wore dark glasses, had a wonderful voice. But if you don't know him, then try or plus a vowel then a male descendant. It's a type of prayer.

1:05 pm

found it -- missing letter is a b?

1:05 pm

It is.

1:05 pm

yes

1:05 pm

ty haz

1:06 pm

You're welcome, cybernan.

1:06 pm

need a break here -- back in a bit

1:06 pm

yeah - well what I'm trying hasn't worked. I'll keep on

It was a very good double crostic clue, including the meaning of the word in one part and the word alteration in the other part.

1:06 pm

got it! ty

1:06 pm

haz - are you planning to visit kallia while we are in the uk?

1:07 pm

For gu6? Glad you got there, hoot.

1:07 pm

didanyone make a list??

1:07 pm

Hi all....clue please for fi8/70 please?

1:07 pm

I hadn't planned to, cybernan, I'm kind of tied up with a daughter getting married this summer.

I still don't have a left side i.

1:07 pm

when is she getting married?

i saw today a 239 one way far to london that became nearly 680nwith taxes, i could not believe there is that much tax on air travel

1:08 pm

She's getting married in August. 18 weeks to go, or so I was informed the other day.

1:08 pm

fi8 - plural of fi7 - attach twelve inches to the end of a fishy part.

1:09 pm

lol - that's exciting -- hope she isn't getting too many ideas from the royals!

1:09 pm

they are trying to kill the airlines

1:09 pm

hi all, back from class, TO, it snowed briefly here too! No fair!

1:09 pm

im5 (times 2) comes from that tile, Kaplan.

i was gladto be inside today phooey on snow

1:10 pm

It is exciting and while we'll be watching what the royals do, ours will be rather more scaled down. Still fun. And expensive!

1:10 pm

we are flying on points and the taxes came to over $1000 -- LHR is one of the most expensive airports in the world. I guess they have to pay for terminal 5 some how!

wow

1:10 pm

thanks Haz....and Hi to you!

1:11 pm

hey all

1:11 pm

Thankfully Terminal 5 seems to be working okay these days, it was a terrible start they had.

gee if sales taxes were still deductible here it would be a different story

1:11 pm

You're welcome, Flask. Did you get the list okay?

1:11 pm

yes -- we flew in a week after it opened!

1:11 pm

manchester uk seems a good option, and sometimes cheaper than heathrow

1:11 pm

at least, on mobissimo

no wonder they had such a promotion

1:12 pm

international flights on BA all land at LHR

1:12 pm

I did thanks!

1:13 pm

Daughter got a good deal with British Airways flying return from Heathrow to JFK for £350 (not sure of dollars).

1:13 pm

That's good, I thought you might find it useful!

1:13 pm

that sounds about right -- we fly out of Vancouver BC

1:13 pm

hello all

1:14 pm

... our airport fees and taxes are pretty hefty as well

1:14 pm

Everyone is going shopping. I feel left out. : (

1:53 pm

i love your spring time flowers molly :)

1:53 pm

i ran into store got one thing and ran back out lol

1:53 pm

oogabooga

1:53 pm

don't, molly - it is cold and miserable and I wish I didn't have to go out!

1:53 pm

after today with the rain, cloud and wind blowing a hoolie it's very refreshing!

1:53 pm

tis cold and miserable here also

1:54 pm

It's pretty damp and chilly here too. I might run in Loews on the way home and see if they have pepper plants, but that is the extent of my shopping for the day.

1:54 pm

plants!!!? -- we're about a month away from that!

1:55 pm

Nan, I would already have them in the ground, but it's been a very chilly Spring so far.

1:55 pm

i have to start my seeds this week

1:55 pm

i went down to my local shop on my scooter today and nearly got blown off it! glad i had my seat belt on!lol

1:55 pm

Oh, and oogabooga back to you Jes. Happy Friday.

1:56 pm

The grass is just starting to turn green and the daffs and tulips are only about 3 in. out of the ground

1:57 pm

I think it is going to be a late spring that heats up quickly resulting in stunted growth with the veggies and all the flowers blooming at once!

1:57 pm

apparently we are in for a snowstorm at the end of this month when will and kate get married, so they are all panicking!

1:59 pm

Children of our friends were married in June when we had a freak storm -- the photos of the couple standing near a rose tree with the snow falling all around were quite lovely

1:59 pm

thanks, molly :)

1:59 pm

i like looking out at my neighbours crocuses. he has yellow and purlpe ones(my favourite colour) and they cheer me up

1:59 pm

why did you go on your scooter today, when you could have just jumped on your broomstick????????.....hee-hee!!

1:59 pm

love crocuses -- so do the deer!

2:00 pm

anybody got good suggestions of things to say in a letter to clients with way-out-of-date accounts to try and get them to make payments, other than "pay us, bitch, or you go to collections!" :)

2:00 pm

ahh, but they have asked scintists to make a cloud to stop the snow/wet coming down on the cathedral and buckingham palace!

2:00 pm

Would you prefer to pay 50% now and the balance in one month?

2:01 pm

haha you are so funny!!!!!! NOT!!! :(

2:01 pm

lol, lil

2:01 pm

that's to flask by the way!!

2:01 pm

i'm okay with them paying $10/month indefinitely as long as they pay something. anything is better than nothing, and if i send them to collections, i only get 60% of anything they can get.

2:01 pm

lol.....;-)

2:01 pm

What I suggested is what my d-i-l used to do.

2:03 pm

re 6/30??

2:03 pm

it's very hard jes, especially with the way of the world at the moment and people losing their jobs. you want to help them pay their bills but also you have a job to do

2:03 pm

or an incentive like 50% now, 50% next month and interest forgiven

2:04 pm

and you need to live aswell

2:04 pm

re 6: famous

2:04 pm

can you not say, anything you have to spare is better than losing everything??

2:04 pm

hi all, does anyone have the list???

2:05 pm

fm, hootowl i think and gremlin

2:05 pm

I understand you accepting whatever they can do - if they declare bankruptcy you get nothing.

2:05 pm

there may well be more mary

2:05 pm

thnx lilliann

2:05 pm

mary - click on rankings, then ctrl f and type in the name

2:06 pm

thanks cyber

2:06 pm

yw mary

2:06 pm

2:07 pm

and FLASK stop taking the mick out of me and get on with the grid!! :)

2:07 pm

bfn nan

2:07 pm

A report on my hammock haven:

2:07 pm

http://tinyurl.com/3g93yp3

2:07 pm

ahh, i've always wanted a hammock, no good now tho!!:((

2:08 pm

Mine is swaying between smokestacks now.

2:14 pm

that website doesn't work for me br, i'll find it tho :)

2:16 pm

couldn't find it on yahoo or google

2:17 pm

i have 2 big fir trees in the garden but still wouldn't be any good for me! :( hope you enjoy :)

2:17 pm

i need to find out too, if it's possible to do a percentage adjustment for people who have a credit--i'd like to encourage that!

2:20 pm

I send out the overdue letters for my company. I find that if you suggest you are about to turn them over to collections, they are motivated to work out a payment plan. The ones who aren't are going to end up in collections anyway.

2:20 pm

sounds good jes, it's not easy!

2:21 pm

the problem at the moment even if you threaten people with collections, if they can't pay, they can't pay and that's worldwide with the economy at the moment! sadly!

2:22 pm

Yes, but some people can pay 10$ a month as opposed to the entire balance.

2:24 pm

i agree molly but some after paying mortgages, rent etc may not be able to pay anything, depends on there circumstances!

2:25 pm

Jes, if your deal with your collections people is that you only get 60%, try offering the customer a 25% reduction to pay off their bill. That way, you are making out better than turning them over.

2:27 pm

my hubby was made redundant after 18 years 2 years ago. we managed...just.our mortgage was paid and our bills in full but we really struggled, there are people alot worse than us(at first we had his redundancy money to help but you get no help from the government if you get so much!)

2:28 pm

clue for re7/32 please?

2:29 pm

meaning because his redundancy was over the limit we had to live off that, it doesn't last long! luckily he's now self employed and is doing well at the moment, but not all people who have lost their jobs are!!

2:30 pm

sorry hin, don't have it yet

2:32 pm

ok

2:34 pm

Luckily, my list of people who've not made any payment is pretty short. sadly, that list includes one of my employees!

2:36 pm

oh, not good, i'm sorry to hear that jes, but seeing that you know tham can you not suggest a payment they can afford and go from there

2:37 pm

if they can afford $5 dollars a week and then maybe increase as they can afford or a $10

2:39 pm

that's what i'm planning to do with her. and a couple of the clients that have been really good, long term clients i've called personally to talk about it with.

2:39 pm

mostly i'm working on a letter for the other dozen or so that i don't really know well enough to want to call and schmooze with.

2:39 pm

it's a very difficult situation for everybody involved

2:40 pm

re7. Well if they made you one you could refuse, they are trying again.

2:42 pm

it's not easy to do this with people you know but i suppose with the ones you don't they are ashamed, and embarrassed about being in this situation...the same as ythe people you know, but atleast you can talk to them and work it out better

2:42 pm

yeah; i just don't understand why so many people seem to think they should just not pay anything until they can pay the whole thing at once. that just ends up with the business they owe getting pissy, and badness on their credit history

2:43 pm

any payment at all keeps the account current and lets us know they intend to do something

2:43 pm

molly, if you are still here, i wasn't having a go at you, just letting you know how difficult it is being in that situation!

2:44 pm

perhaps, some of them don't know that they can do that jes?

2:45 pm

hopefully they will soon!

2:45 pm

:)

2:45 pm

some people can't read, write, don't like speaking on phones, talking face to face with people, embarrassed, guilty,etc

2:45 pm

i hope so jes, not just in the US but all over the world

2:46 pm

yeah, but the majority of people we do business with CAN read, write, and manage a phone.

2:46 pm

And the people we have who can't (we have 3 that i know of) have someone else managing their business affairs for those reasons.

2:47 pm

4 yrs ago, my world turned upside down.My husband skedaddled, leaving me with hideous debts. I got a job,and organised my money.Mortgage,food, heat & light were necessities, and paid for. Whatever was left, is being divided up and paid to my creditors on a pro-rata basis. It ain't easy, but its working!

2:47 pm

embarressment then more than likely that they've got in that situation because of their own doing or not fault of their own!

2:48 pm

good for you soodle!

2:49 pm

sent the draft i've got to my cousin for proofing. she says it's the kindest collections letter she's ever heard of. :D

2:49 pm

found my word yet???....lolol

2:49 pm

very difficult, hard and stressful times i bet!

2:50 pm

This grid sucks

2:50 pm

guess for a next warning, i can use the trick the receptionist at a place i used to work did... have 'typo' in the amount owed that we say we are sending to the collections agency--people call REALLY pissed when you put an extra digit in the total. She could almost always get a payment from them after apologizing for the error and promising to fix it!

2:51 pm

(No, she never actually sent the incorrect balance to a collections agence!)

2:51 pm

ooh, that's really sneaky, jes! Probably only works once with each person, too...

2:51 pm

Flask, you missed my clue. re7. If someone made you one you could refuse, they are trying again.

2:52 pm

when i first got bad i had hardly any money coming in and owed money, not rent as i got it payed but couldn't affors to feed myself bas the money i had left over weny on my cats! it was my choice to have them do i had to look after them. my best friend would buy extra food for me and i ws so embarressed and proud that i wouldn't accept it, but she would put it in my cupboards when i was out, so i know how hard it is!

2:53 pm

my typing sucks!!

2:53 pm

gu 6/27??

2:53 pm

thanx wht!!!

2:53 pm

eh. just proof it before sending anything formal, lilli! :)

2:54 pm

but not all people are hard up, they get every benefit going and just pretend so you have to work out who is real and who is not jes!

2:54 pm

It was a tricky time all right, Lilliann. Emotionally and financially. For the record, himself never came back. Last heard of in Bangkok. (He is now 55 - now THATS what I call a mid-life crisis). But the kids are still finding it difficult... :-(

2:55 pm

yeah. i know at least one of the people on my list is hard up...but on the other hand, it's hard to have sympathy for someone who's broke, knows they're broke, and keeps bringing home new animals every time i hear from them!

2:56 pm

if you're so in the hole you can't take care of the animals you have, STOP GETTING MORE! seems not a difficult concept to me. *sigh*

2:56 pm

i'm sorry to hear about the bairns soodle, not surprising when they don't really understand what is going on. mmm, certainly sounds like a midlife crisis on his behalf!!

2:58 pm

They were 12, 15 & 16 when he vamoosed - difficult ages at the best of times. But they great kids, and are weathering the storm. They can never be accused of being spoilt kids!!

2:59 pm

i didn't get more animals, i already had 1 rescue cat and then my brother went to fight in iraq so i had his so i couldn't give them up as they'd had a crap life already, so my billes got paid, i contacted all the places i owed, as in credit card, gas/electric and paid so much every month, anfd i went without, not totally but really struggled, but we had a roof over our head and warmth!

3:01 pm

yes, I'm not saying these people should ditch all their animals, lilli--i'm just saying that in this situation, you did not go out and bring home 3 new dogs. or breed the one you had. This woman did exactly that, on both counts. Meanwhile, she's convincing local rescues to pay some of her bills.

3:02 pm

sorry jes, just reread your post! i'll get off my high horse now. i thought you were talking about me! people who are really struggling and then have more pets and children need to be shaken!!

3:02 pm

as if the rescues have nothing better to do?

3:03 pm

well she's out of order. even when i had no money i couldn't get to see a vet free or get free treatment for my animals, so i went without again!

3:04 pm

fo 5/20 plz

3:04 pm

fo5 is a bit like tghis, what we chat on

3:05 pm

3:05 pm

thanks for the fo, lilli :)

3:05 pm

sorry, fingers really hurting today! typing crap!

3:05 pm

yw jes

3:06 pm

yeah. i get very very frustrated with people who whinge about how expensive i am (and i'm the least expensive in the county, thankyewverymuch), and then keep coming in with new animals! personal responsibility, people!

3:06 pm

ty liliann

3:06 pm

p.s. wht, I did get your clue for the re7, thanks!

3:07 pm

i wasn't having a go at you personally jes. you do a fantastic job, and without people like you, alot of animals would suffer

3:08 pm

i know, lilli. i'm just venting here so that i can turn around and write a reasonably civil letter without mentioning this stuff to the actual client ;)

3:08 pm

and at the end of the day you need the money to help care for others. i take my hat off to you for what you do and what you have to put up with :)

3:09 pm

if they care for their animals they will reply that they will try and pay what they can!(hopefully)

3:09 pm

We are listless.

4:45 pm

4:45 pm

I am listless in eevry sense of the word at the moment LOL

Do people who donate aquariums- (aquaria??) give tanks?

4:45 pm

I just emailed him to let him know there was an extra word yesterday. Apparently his list won't work until he resets it after there is an extra word

4:46 pm

no 5/10 plz

4:46 pm

fm was saying we were listless because of the extra word added to the list yesterday, that lickey had to do reset it or something

The big fish said to the little fish "we have so much to be tankful for."

Sorry.

4:46 pm

snap lynn :)

4:46 pm

no5.10 rhymes with Mt Karloff

4:47 pm

Mr not Mt

4:47 pm

glant, fm has one on her profile

Seaweed.

4:47 pm

tyvm!

So you are all just ignoring me. Where's Ruru?

I am tying to think up some non tank related witty repartee but I am failing

Tanks a lot.

4:49 pm

4:51 pm

oh, I DO have the Japanese seaweed

4:51 pm

neither did we foam and we are brits!

4:51 pm

good, now pl it

4:51 pm

let's see--not black, not clock time, not seaweed, and not the opposite of "thens"

4:52 pm

not seaweed pl

Close to the last one you said- just ends with a different consonant

4:52 pm

clock time?

4:53 pm

got that one too

4:53 pm

Midday

4:53 pm

pl seaweed

4:53 pm

4:53 pm

no4.8 a british slang way of saying nothing

4:53 pm

hi Sue

4:53 pm

is it plural of the nothern english for nothing

4:54 pm

now my head is full of talk about topological insulators and Majorana neutrinos

My clue at 4:53

4:54 pm

high tile used

4:54 pm

TY Lill - i didn't think it had a pl :-)

4:54 pm

yw glant

4:54 pm

i wouldn;t know what a opological insulator was if i tripped over it

4:55 pm

Neutrinos! Ole!

4:55 pm

or a Majorana neutrino - medical?

4:55 pm

foam the no4/5 sounds like the twit twoo bird

4:55 pm

or physics?

4:55 pm

physics. My PhD thesis actually involved neutrinos.

4:56 pm

but means nothing in northern english speech

4:56 pm

i stopped physics aged 12

4:56 pm

Twit two bird????

4:56 pm

but replace the l for another letter

4:56 pm

now my head is spinning--it's an no 4/4 i'm missing--not black, not midday and not seaweed

I CLUED IT ALREADY AT 4:53!

4:56 pm

big eyes and are barn ones and snowy ones molly

Sorry for shouting.

4:57 pm

no + don't get *e* in the rain, and plural

4:57 pm

opposite of thens?

4:57 pm

SORRY--had brain spin at that clock time--will revisit now

I am beginning to think I am invisible.

4:57 pm

no4 is pt of when

4:57 pm

Not inviible Kap

4:53, guys!

4:58 pm

Uusue2, I just finished reading "Decoding Reality" by Vlatko Vedral. Have you read that?

Individual.

4:58 pm

Pssst...what if she doesn't know what a little salamadar is...

4:58 pm

I see kap too :-)

4:58 pm

sorry kap, chat moving quick and i'm getting sidetracked with babble and film

4:58 pm

yopu're wanted and needed kap! :)

That's OK- Yetta gets a little cranky.

4:58 pm

*you're

4:58 pm

NOT the 4:53 clue--isn't that for an no 4/8?

4:59 pm

I have not, godthaab, what did you think of it?

I think I am going to shoot myself.

4:59 pm

Foam, I thought you were looking for an no4.

5:00 pm

I am--an no4/4

5:00 pm

Very good. He talks about information being physical. The neat thing is, which I never thought about, is that information is the concept that we have that can manifest itself from nothing. He talks a lot about quantum physics, amongst other things, that make this true.

Black- daytime- seaweed-zero...

5:01 pm

..the only concept..

5:01 pm

zero?

5:01 pm

ri 5/10 plz

5:01 pm

Interesting, godthaab, I'll have to check it out! (maybe this summer, the semester is driving me nuts)

5:01 pm

Not any Glant

5:01 pm

yes it's the northern english word gor nothing

5:01 pm

Well worth the read.

5:01 pm

Doh doh doh doh doh

5:02 pm

*Gets the Jer-Dan, we may have to tow this one out*

5:03 pm

what is the stats foam?

5:03 pm

foam - as I said - doh

I haven't caught up with Physics Yesterday. A guy on NPR the other day said all the existing physics textbooks are now out of date.

5:03 pm

after a kazillion futile attempts at stuff like noor, nool, nosi, nois....

5:03 pm

and do you have the 5,18 after it

5:03 pm

monthly magazine from the American Physical Society, godthaab, they put out e-mail updates weekly

And so am I.

5:04 pm

Interesting.

5:04 pm

and that, folks, means the bright display--thank you so much for your help and patience!

5:04 pm

5:07 pm

same think?

5:07 pm

I thought Glant asked for the bottom left L

5:08 pm

hello All

5:08 pm

bottom left L? There's only one and it's on the right

5:08 pm

back for last 36

5:08 pm

or one is an acid and the other one where you're family have gone to get coal

5:08 pm

Hi Kallia - 73 left and not going to fionish

5:08 pm

bottom left i

5:08 pm

hows you?

5:09 pm

fed up

5:09 pm

that l = a word more commonly seen with a vowell in front of it or one with a vowel at the end of it

5:09 pm

anything happened or just usual?

5:09 pm

got the mining one

5:09 pm

See Lilliann's clue about where you go to get coal. Then change the last vowel to another vowel.

5:09 pm

good, glant! not just noodle that last letter

5:10 pm

didn;t do chemistry or physics and there is no amino in this grid LOL

5:10 pm

nope change the first vowel of that

5:10 pm

but i gotta scoot--again, thx, all!

5:10 pm

if6,36, something thats not right

5:10 pm

Almost Glant. Change the first vowel.

5:10 pm

no but if you switch the first vowel you will find a word that IS in the grid, glan :-)

5:10 pm

TY Molly

yay, peri!

5:44 pm

ty bye for now

5:44 pm

I still have 61 left but am planning to finish later - have to go to the dance the students are having from 9pm - 1am

5:45 pm

back again.

5:45 pm

hi, jes!

5:46 pm

and shockingly, the grid does not appear to be any easier. hmm.

5:46 pm

sore

5:46 pm

oops. sorry!

5:47 pm

that's ok, jes, I already had that one :-)

5:48 pm

wtg peri, bye

5:48 pm

Yay! Sue is going out to cut a rug!

5:48 pm

wb jes

5:49 pm

well, I don't know if I will actually dance, most of these kids are about 1/3 my age

5:49 pm

bye sue

5:49 pm

have fun!! :)

5:49 pm

oh, I'm not leaving yet, lilli, the dance doesn't start for another 3 hours.

5:51 pm

oh, good, keep babbling then, it will take your mind off troubles to come, but hopefully the dance will go smoothly! :)

5:51 pm

I hope so, lilli, they've had some trouble with underage drinking at these dances

5:52 pm

oh, not good, but unless you check every child coming in what can you do?

5:52 pm

are you aloud to frisk and check bags?

5:53 pm

well, we do, but they drink out in the parking lot, hard to police

5:53 pm

I forget that college kids are underage. The drinking age was 18 when I was in college.

5:53 pm

I think we will check bags for sure, even the over-21s won't be able to bring alcohol in (they have to buy it there), or take it out.

5:53 pm

aye they will drink beforehand!

5:54 pm

Well, a lot of them are over 21, so alcohol is sold but we check IDs at the door and give them wristbands depending on age.

5:54 pm

Do the police help with the parking lot?

5:55 pm

i always thought you had to be 21 in the U.S or is that just bars?

5:55 pm

yes, you do, lilli. No, they don't, Molly, not unless someone calls them in which case we are in trouble.

5:55 pm

You do have to be 21 Lilliann. But when I was in college the legal drinking age was 18. They have raised it since then.

5:57 pm

and it used to vary by state - I grew up in New Jersey where the drinking age was always 21, but New York used to be 18. Lots of kids would drive to New York, get drunk, then try to drive home, with predictable consequences.

5:57 pm

ok,can you take children into bars aslong as they have an adult?

5:57 pm

The AM radio guys I listen to refer to a guy they call Alcoholic Mike. Alcoholic Mike can smuggle an entire 12 pack of beer into a sports stadium wearing baggy pants and duct taping cans of beer to his legs. Now THAT is dedication. : P

5:58 pm

mmm, i can see why sue, not good, so did they change it in ny aswell then?

5:58 pm

depends on the bar, lilli, most you can but some are 21 and over only (these tend to be more hardcore and don't serve food)

5:58 pm

Depends on the bar Lilliann.

5:58 pm

I just heard that a beer at the Phillies game will cost $8.75. I'd be smuggling it in too, if I drank...

5:58 pm

so you can take a child under 13 into a bar if it sells food?

5:59 pm

usually, lilli, but those laws can vary from city to city, even. But if under 21 are not allowed there will be a sign.

6:00 pm

depends on the state, actually. in wa, if there is a separate area for "the bar" you can have kids in the building, and even serve alcohol to the tables where the kids are, but kids aren't allowed in the "bar" area.

6:00 pm

hubby and i would love to get a winniebago and tour the U.S but have a 11 yr old so need to go to places we could take her or we wait another 5/6 years and do it on our own

6:01 pm

so, for instance, we have a bar and grill in town that has a "bar" that is just a half dozen stools at the counter, separated by a rail from the tables. and kids aren't supposed to be between the rail and the counter.

6:01 pm

oh ok jes

6:01 pm

lilli, as long as you are at places that also serve food you should be fine.

6:01 pm

Lilliann, you can have drinks in many restaurants. It would be no problem to make that trip with your daughter.

6:02 pm

we do have pubs the same in the uk where you can take children into one part and only adults in the other or pubs that won't have children at all

6:02 pm

and most restaurants serve beer and wine, even if they don't have a bar for liquor.

6:04 pm

is lickety behind, or do i just need to clear my cookies?

6:04 pm

I have a suggestion about Winnebago travel. Make a short trip first, to see how you cope with the small space. I know people who have been at each others throats after long trips in Winnebagos.

6:05 pm

no lickety today, jes

6:05 pm

hmph. so much for doing this the easy way then.

6:06 pm

oh ok, well when my hubby stops driving americans, aussies, kwis, asians and indians around the uk then hopefully we'll be able to travel the U.S. thats what we've wanted to do for years!one day we'll get our dream! hopefully! hubby wants to go to gtrand canyon, and me to hawaii and other places, not vegas tho as i would get dizzy with all the lights! :(

6:06 pm

Lilliann, let me know when you figure out a way to Winnebago to Hawaii. : D

6:06 pm

you can always drive through Vegas in the daytime, lilli, it's worth seeing even then.

6:07 pm

my hubby drives 62 seater coaches molly and they are just as big if not bigger and loads of room, he's always wanted to drive one! :)

6:08 pm

FMitch, gremlinn, and hootowl have lists in their profiles

6:08 pm

via boat, molly. but it's a might slow drive! :)

6:09 pm

well, i know we wouldn't winniebago to hawaii, unless it's like a james bond film and we can go underwater molly! lol

6:09 pm

Does anyone else have the red message?

6:10 pm

that's true sue. i would love to go to vegas, and also loads of places that aren't touristy?

6:10 pm

hi car, no i don't

6:11 pm

cant find any of those 3 in the "who's online". and babanon doesn't seem to have a list yet today either. it's a conspiracy! heh.

6:12 pm

molly, to do with the space, it's probably bigger than my house! lol

6:12 pm

do you want the list jes, then go on rankings and click on a name

6:12 pm

ah well. guess i'll do something work related.

6:12 pm

New Mexico is really nice, lilli, I lived there for 5 years. Similar to Colorado and Arizona but fewer people.

6:12 pm

oh, good plan. thanks, lilli

6:13 pm

no red messages here, car.

6:14 pm

oh ok sue, i'll add it to my list so if we ever get there? i would like to go to new england, texas, florida, miami, ny,(been to airport) san franscisco

I seem to recall someone did do a calculation of patient cost of all the procedures they ran on one patient in one episode, it was in the 7 figures

Bribe the DJ.

8:10 pm

they are the DJ, Molly - they bring their own music and sound system

8:10 pm

Molly - so standing in two opposing lines with handbags (purses) down the middle and all doing exactly the same moves in synch is better?

8:10 pm

Oh my God, forget what I said. Bring ear plugs. And the single malt.

8:11 pm

i'm going to have to ask reask my mam about our family in canada and find out nore about hubby's. it would be great to meet them whilst we are still here!

8:11 pm

Original line dancing was considerably different from the "cleaned up" way the kids of the 60's did it. It was the pre-cursor for "Dirty Dancing".

8:33 pm

vanilla - plural of the ge5 before it. (Japanese statesman.)

hi min, I'm still procastrinating to pay or not to pay. If I do I'll come here more often and that might not be good

8:34 pm

Hi LesA.

8:34 pm

hmmm.

8:34 pm

hey, LA. I just got here a bit ago and am finding it hard

ahh yes, Jac, thx vm

8:34 pm

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

it is worth paying it is for life

8:34 pm

y/w, Vanilla.

8:34 pm

lol vanilla

8:35 pm

best 11 dollars i ever spent;)

i havnt played for over a year and now i am back

one more to go have to find which one

8:35 pm

vanilla, you should pay the one time fee now. Then you can come when you want and you don't HAVE to get hooked

8:36 pm

welcome back squidgy!

8:36 pm

Crossy is right! It can take over your life, but it doesn't have to. You can always leave and come back any time you like and you only need do as much as you want to.

8:36 pm

Go vanillaslice go!

self discipline is not my strong point on the computer

thankyou

8:36 pm

I wonder if the price will go up once the new changes happen?

8:36 pm

yes,after you go pro,it is always there for you,as much or as little as you wish

8:36 pm

hi, squidgy! I went away for a couple of years myself and just came back a few months ago

what new changes?

8:37 pm

what new changes?

8:37 pm

The world wants to know

lol

8:37 pm

dr. g. has been planning some upgrades for a while now - but i think they are stalled at the moment

8:37 pm

Dr_God is working on an upgrade

8:37 pm

dr g is redesigning the site

8:38 pm

Nef - mind you, he's been working on that for about a year now...

8:38 pm

he has a facebook page with all the stuff and our comments

8:38 pm

Check out FB for more information

8:38 pm

I like it just the way it is.

what is the facebook page called

8:38 pm

there's an echo in here

8:38 pm

well, Jac; good things take time!

8:38 pm

jwr - yes, we all do, but change happens.

8:38 pm

that's not one of the choices jwr

8:39 pm

what's the word for when two people say the same thing at the same time? I think in England it's "snap"

8:39 pm

babble community, squidgy

ty

8:39 pm

here is the fb group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid= 106468556072681

8:39 pm

As far as I recall, you have to be a friend of Dr_God on FB and then you'll see the stuff.

8:40 pm

jinx

fireworks!!!! although I don't see the sparks now

8:40 pm

Oh, was it Babble Community? I've been there so long, I forget.:-(

8:40 pm

YAY, vanillaslice!!! WTG!!!!

8:40 pm

yay van!!

8:40 pm

*~*~*~*~*FIREWORKS FOR VANILLASLICE*~*~*~*~*~

8:41 pm

Well done vanilla. Here's some sparks for you. I~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

8:41 pm

I need f, m, and s

8:41 pm

Congratulations vanillaslice on fireworks! Good for U!

ty all, now i can go and do the gardening

8:41 pm

Heh! You can tell the Old Guard - we do it the way we used to do it before the visible fireworks came.

8:42 pm

Goodbye vanillaslice!I will see you tomorrow in the log

i just joined on facebook

8:45 pm

wild - you'll have to be more specific.

8:47 pm

You probably need mu6/24?mu + a piece of horse tack.

8:47 pm

Congrats, van -- now you're hooked for real! -. . . As -far as the changes go, I'll just have to wait and see -- As a matter of principle, privacy, and having an overabundance of face-to-face communication in my life already, I do not space, face, skype, twit ... or enter the chog very often. But if I wanted to belong to an online social group, this would probably be it. You're a neat bunch. Off to work. Bye, all. Good luck finishing this one.

8:48 pm

fireworks here

8:48 pm

thanks for the kind words, jwr. have a great day.

8:48 pm

nice work teach!

8:48 pm

'Bye jwr. See you again.

8:48 pm

Congratulations wvteach on fireworks! Good for you!

8:49 pm

Well done wvteach.

8:49 pm

YAY, wv! WTG!!

8:50 pm

ty jac and I can't be specific - I'm not listing

8:50 pm

mi6/21 = more muddy or boggy.

8:50 pm

woohoo wv!

8:51 pm

Yes, but, wild, is asking those of us wh have finished any less diminishing than listing (lists provided by those of us who have finished)?

8:52 pm

I just wonder.

8:52 pm

i think so. those are my rules sometimes too :)

8:52 pm

Obviously, using Lickety, which is generated from a word solver is different.

8:54 pm

evening

8:54 pm

hallo magyk

8:54 pm

no I list plenty of times. I'm just not tonight

8:55 pm

We all approach this game differently. I see clues, other than the first 2 letters of a word, more challenging than being given a clue. However, there is no right or wrong in this game.

8:55 pm

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

8:55 pm

Hi Magyk.

8:55 pm

I'm well, Min. Yourself?

8:55 pm

Something that helps when I don't list is that I give a list of the words I *do* have; such as "I have no4X4,no5, no4; what am I missing?"

8:56 pm

hi Magyk

8:57 pm

I tend not to look at the chog when I'm on my first run of the grid. I do glance and see how everyone's lives are going but I tend to avoid any word clues. Obviously, bbeing only human, I do notice some and act on them.

8:58 pm

ok, off to the dance, see you all tomorrow!

8:58 pm

I guess it all depends on whether you want to do the grid for your own pleasure or for praise from others.

8:58 pm

Have fun - uusue!

8:59 pm

Goodbye uusue2! I will see you tomorrow in the chog.

8:59 pm

I agree that we all approach this game differently. I feel like it gets bogged down when it's all about who finished first, who lists and when, and the whole "status" thing. And I have to laugh at those who won't list until they are half-way, and yet ask for the points status on certain words. Um...isn't that that same thing as looking at the list?

8:59 pm

bye sue

8:59 pm

I try to get NBT and NBS before chatting; so I often say Hi then disappear into the grid. Obviously, tonight is an exception (I haven't got the 8 letter word and I don't have the left and right column I's yet)

9:00 pm

Have fun Sue!

9:00 pm

Once, I used to pick up the morning paper, do the quick and the cryptic crosswords and then get on with stuff.

9:00 pm

eh, everyone makes their own rules. i have to get 2/3 of the way before i list - but if i get them from chog or on my own doesn't matter

9:01 pm

And Jac, you did all that without clues, a list or chatting friends who clue. : D

9:01 pm

and i always talk right away. since i'm a motormouth

9:01 pm

I try to take the same approach to Babble,, except, since I went into the Menopause and got all 'sleepless', I can't resist coming back here either to clue or to chat. Well, it's better than being awake and alone.

9:01 pm

I'm a motormouth too, LA! :-)

9:02 pm

Molly - Yes, I did.

9:02 pm

My own rule is to get half finished chogless & listless.

9:02 pm

The thing is; we all make our own rules on how we play. It's a mind game to me; I just challenge myself

9:02 pm

I'm afraid I'm a word nerd, and more so in the years since I found Babble.

9:03 pm

Jac, I am now laughing, thinking about doctors recommending Babble to women going through menopause.

9:03 pm

Nef - I've always made it a challenge to myself.

9:03 pm

Once I have half done, I go to list and enter the chat log & look for clues. Hardly ever ask for clues though.

9:05 pm

I love the term "word nerd". I find it fun to increase my vocabulary. But only with words that I may use on a regular basis. One of the reasons these grids bore me is that they are chock full of words that I will never use in writing or in conversation. I have no use for words like that.

9:07 pm

Min - I rarely ask for clues, either.

9:07 pm

Molly! You shock me! You mean you don't go around talking about inias, tahrs, and emyds every day? ;-)

9:07 pm

what a peasant.

9:07 pm

Molly - I just love languages and the origins and meanings of words, But maybe that's because I'm a writer.

9:08 pm

I collect words like I collect recipes. (Yes, I love cooking, too.) LOL

9:09 pm

Sorry Nef, no...alas I do not. And Jac, I'm a writer too. But writing (to me) is about communication. And I will never communicate with my readers if I use words that most people have never heard of.

9:09 pm

Knowing what words mean helps you to understand so much more about everything and where it all came from.

9:10 pm

but if you can't interpret things so your audience can understand you it's moot, Jac

9:11 pm

Amen Nef. If "I" know what words mean, and use them in conversation, or in my writing, I lose those with whom I am trying to communicate with.

9:12 pm

Molly - I'm not a literary writer, or rather a writer of literature (see Martin Amies for total arrogant pr*ck) but I do think a love of language helps in writing. And, no, I won't use a big word when a small one will do. I want my readers to relax and enjoy whilst reading my stuff.

9:12 pm

I am stopping at 126 words and 1818 points.Bye to all

9:12 pm

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

9:12 pm

good night min

9:12 pm

'Bye Min. See you again.x

9:12 pm

good night Min

9:13 pm

Molly - what you just said to Nef is what I do, too.

9:14 pm

Oh Jac, don't get me wrong. I think a love of language helps in writing. But if it gets to the point where I come across as arrogant because I am using too many words that are "above" my audience, I will lose them. And that is not the point of why I write.

9:15 pm

I was a bit shocked last year when I watched a programme on TV about Scrabble Championships. They all use weird and wonderful, and sometimes long words, but not many of them know what the words mean. They just see each formation of letters as a maths, as a score. That, to me, is unacceptable.

9:17 pm

way back in the early 80's, I was working in ICU and a patient had an NG tube in (to keep her stomach empty ), and ET tube in (for breathing) a foley cath (for urine) and numerous central lines (IV's and an arterial line in to give her fluids and measureher heart and lung pressures. The Docs kept telling her family about these things; but the family had no clue about any of it and the Docs didn't "get" that. Finally the family asked me if all the tubes would get tangle up in her and tied in a knot

9:19 pm

Molly - I totaly agree! I wasn't calling you arrogant, btw. I was commenting really on remarks I saw Martin Amies make about his hero from the novel 'Money'. He would not ever let that hero speak for himself, but always had to intervene through things thought. Why? Because, 'such an illiterate slob wold never know the words' and 'I will not demean myself to write as low as that, knowing to what leve I can write'. How's that for total arrogance?

9:19 pm

That

9:19 pm

since that point on; I've always learned that it's important to speak at the level of the person you're talking to. My Dad used to use a whole lot of big words; then when he was 75 years old he got his GED from high school!

9:20 pm

That's what I was trying to say Nef. You have to speak/write to people on a level that they will understand. Jac...no problem. I didn't think you were calling me arrogant.

9:21 pm

Hi, all, at the dance but they are still setting up. Browsing on my phone :-)

9:21 pm

Nef - that's something I've known all of my life.

9:21 pm

Aww, modern technology is so cool these days! :-)

9:22 pm

sue, what dance?

leslie have you been to Hawthorns backyard in west chicago?

9:22 pm

Nice browser except no scroll bars on the word list or chog.

9:22 pm

Jac, we are all guilty of talking over the heads of others because we make assumptions about another persons' intelligence

9:23 pm

i have not, GE.

9:23 pm

Leslie, it's the student group I advise, they are having their last dance of the semester.

9:23 pm

take this site, for instance: because we are here; we *all* assume that we can read and spell.

hmm my friends band is playing there tomorrow night and i didn't know if my 16 year old could come bc its a restaurant or if it is more of a bar

9:24 pm

fun.

9:24 pm

Nef, Jaq...thanks for the good conversation about words and how we use them. We all do it in our own way, and what is important is that's how it works for us. Sue...get out there and dance woman! I'm off to watch a movie. Night all.

9:25 pm

GE, I am not far from West Chicago either but not familiar with the place.

9:25 pm

I am calling Martin Amies arrogant, though! Also Sebastian Foulks, who made that programme about heroes in novels. He ended by saying that the last literary hero was Jim Dixon, from father of Martin, Kinglsey Amis' novel, 'Lucky Jim'. He then concluded, like it was FACT, that there would never ever be another literary hero. As far as he is concerned, the only hero in a book around now is in a children's book and that hero is Harry Potter. I won't tell you what I shouted at the TV because it's not fit for a family site.

9:25 pm

I like to use words like "rannygazoo" just because I can and I think it is fun. People can think what they will. I do a lot of stuff tongue in cheak.

9:25 pm

night Molly

9:26 pm

Forgot my ear plugs...

9:26 pm

hi BR. How are you?

9:27 pm

Nothing is more conducive to long winded and stilted speech then the use of pedantic and polysyllabic substitutes for a natural expression.

i don't know if we will make it or not as the boys (DH and son) are going to the cubs game tomorrow

9:27 pm

Hello, Nef. Doing okay

band or dj sue?

9:27 pm

oh-oh uusue. Fingers get tired after a while and kleenex won't help!

9:27 pm

Exactly, lbd!

9:27 pm

indeed, lb.

9:27 pm

hey BR. how's the weather in your part of the woods?

9:27 pm

Then I am guilty but do not feel guilty

9:28 pm

DJ Sue! Spinning vinyl for the students.

9:28 pm

DJ

9:28 pm

hi lbd! You hit the nail on the head there! :-D

9:28 pm

I know where Hawthorn's is but not sure if kids can go in there either :(

9:28 pm

where are you, leaf?

9:29 pm

Wheaton

9:29 pm

Ha, I am not the dj and I think it's more electronic than vinyl.

9:29 pm

I memorized that saying when I was in the 4th grade. tried to live by it as much as possible. doesn't mean I don't get verbal diarrea tho.

9:29 pm

near Cosely Zoo

thanks leaf! i'll give a call over there

9:29 pm

cool. very IL-centric chat today. I'm in Aurora, Sue is in Dekalb, and GE is from somewhere northwestish... Buffalo Grove? Arlington Heights?

i love cosley zoo although its been yrs since ive been there

9:30 pm

:D

9:30 pm

oh I like DeKalb :)

9:30 pm

u know how to get to Hawthorn's ?

9:30 pm

Me too, leaf :-)

9:30 pm

it is really nice @ cosley

9:30 pm

Literary writers think they are 'above' the rest of we writers. When Joanna Trollope. granddaughter of Anthony, got a bit countrified, they dismissed her stories as a new genre, 'aga sagas'.

9:30 pm

lol sue

9:30 pm

BR what are you guilty for?

9:31 pm

I like Klien Creek farm too :)

i googled it and i grew up in lombard so kind of familiar with the area

9:32 pm

I think the literary writers, a small clique who don't sell many novels normally, are just a bit jealous of JKR and her success.

9:32 pm

59 to Hawthorne... west to the bar about 2 miles

9:33 pm

north of Geneva rd ...(Washington)

thats easy. could even stop by family on the way

9:33 pm

:)

9:36 pm

I don't see why you can't work it both ways as a writer - you can use big words, or your knowledge of Latin etc., to make up new words. You can use your knowledge of history to make fun of history. People who choose to read books are not so stupid that they won't see what you're getting at with your simpler way of saying it. If they are that interested, they will look it up anyway.

9:36 pm

hi. I pulled up lickety and it is Thurs's. is it not up?

9:37 pm

clues in my profile, joey

9:37 pm

I can see that I'm talking to an audience long gone. See you all next grid. In the meantiime, Happy Babbling.

9:38 pm

thanks, une

9:38 pm

yw :-)

9:38 pm

bye jac. hello unea

9:38 pm

joey I just left Fort worth on Wednesday :(

9:38 pm

hey, leslieann ;-)

9:40 pm

pups demanding to go out -- back in a mo :-)

9:40 pm

Ok, it is getting loud here and they are still decorating.

oh laptop dying bblbattery

9:41 pm

wow, leaf, what were you doing here?

9:41 pm

visiting friends and family :)

9:41 pm

was cold there Tuesday :)

9:42 pm

went to the stockyards on tuesday and almost froze LOL as if Chicago is sooooooo warm LOL

9:42 pm

it was beautiful today. Last Saturday I had my AC on, and Tuesday night the heat kicked on, so I know what you are saying

9:42 pm

lol yeah .... my friend had her heat on as well

9:43 pm

last week when I arrived the weather was perfect

9:43 pm

if you come back, let me know - we could meet up.

9:44 pm

:) great

9:44 pm

I got such a great airfare.... RT non stop from Ohare to DFW for $ 69 total

9:45 pm

omg, who do you know? that is awesome

9:45 pm

lol no one I just clicked on flexible dates @ United.com

9:45 pm

lol

9:45 pm

that is awesome. good for you

9:46 pm

Wow, leaf, that is amazing!

9:46 pm

I had to call them and ask if I was flying in cargo LOL

9:46 pm

that is the funniest

9:46 pm

I know sue ... my kids were freaking out LOL

9:47 pm

the plane was 1/2 hr early arriving in Chicago too ....... so less that 2 hrs :O

9:47 pm

ya know I couldn't go to Indiana for $ 69 in gas alone ROFL

9:54 pm

Dance supposed to be starting soon but they are still decorating...

9:58 pm

i think the grid wins for tonight. good night all

9:58 pm

Night, Leslie!

10:09 pm

There. Halfway AND nbt. I am a happy babbler ((Hugs anyone who's here)).

10:11 pm

Hi, stid!

10:12 pm

Nice to see happy babblers :-)

10:18 pm

hey sue :-D

10:18 pm

sorry, we are watching the zero mostel/gene wilder version of The Producers, and it's very funny...

Clues are up

10:19 pm

a bit early lickety, but thanks. :-D

10:21 pm

Oh yes, that is a hoot, stid!

10:22 pm

we have seen the newer version a couple of times, thought it was worth seeing the original. So often the originals are "fresher" than remakes, I find. But the remake in this case was pretty good.

10:24 pm

So far nobody is here for the dance yet, hopefully they are all home primping :-)

10:25 pm

dance? primping? is it spring or something?

10:27 pm

Ky

10:27 pm

Sorry.

10:27 pm

My st

10:29 pm

My student group has dances every month or so, this is the last one of the semester so they have a prom their.

10:30 pm

Theme. Drat autocorrect.

10:30 pm

what fun! I only went to a couple such things when I was in school. I am really not much of a socializer. Unless I know people really well and it's a very small group.

10:31 pm

Ok, now they are starting to arrive...

10:32 pm

Well, as the faculty advisor apparently I am supposed to attend although I have not done so in the past.

10:34 pm

And my phone's display has just switched to sideways. Will see if I can convince it to rotate.

10:38 pm

Ok, I rebooted my phone. Better now.

10:41 pm

And I don't think my phone's battery is going to let me babble all night, so I am signing off until flip. Bbl...

11:26 pm

bye uu

11:28 pm

alas lickety ty but too late too late for meeeeeeee. . .

11:28 pm

gene wilder is one of my favorite actors

11:28 pm

11:36 pm

Ok, now things are hopping around here! That's more like it.

11:57 pm

11:57 pm

so nice that you no longer need a partner to dance

11:57 pm

Nope, too old.

11:58 pm

I'm afraid technology has left me behind with all these new phones, ipads, pods and what have you - wouldn't know what to do with them!
