1:41 am

your fo8 has me buffaloed for now but will go back to it after the so words as you suggested

1:42 am

I'm tackling the q words now

1:42 am

yes, makes it much easier cos (I think) clued it as fo* + so5

1:44 am

oh, I see -- thks. I didn't see that clue -- got started too late.

1:44 am

yes, you came in a bit later

1:46 am

had to check mail and email (weird things had happened to it on the desktop too) and then Babble on laptop , then desktop, restart, etc etc.

1:48 am

I was having a problem this morning - couldn't open email so called Shaw tech, waited long time, but when I got through, was told it wasn't something they do (only internet stuff, but he very sweetly walked me through it

1:49 am

I did talk to the people who sold me the desktop this afternoon and they said I should do a security scan right away (I hadn't realised it was needed) -- I did, and they found a Trojan which was removed. Maybe that's what was causing the troubles.

1:49 am

oh, lucky to find that nasty

1:49 am

that's great, flosey.

1:51 am

he said that I should have called a local techie but I guess since I got hold of him, he felt sorry for the LOL (term we used ages ago referring to Little Old Ladies, in bridge)

1:52 am

Well, we'll see what happens next time I try to change icons and Lickety posts a list. I brought them up on the laptop first, thinking maybe the desktop needed a nudge from the network.

1:53 am

Nice that he is a good human being.

1:53 am

One thing we really must do is get separate email addresses!!

1:53 am

yes, I thanked him profusely

1:54 am

that sounds like a good idea

1:55 am

I mean the separate email addresses

1:55 am

yes, we have well over 3000 going back as far as 2006!

1:55 am

yes

1:55 am

understood

1:56 am

whew! finished the ts

1:58 am

not getting st6

1:58 am

I'm now at the ro words

1:59 am

I'm going back up and filling in blanks

1:59 am

you're way ahead of me

2:09 am

went out and couldn't get back in!, got the message from Dr.G. about temper tantrum

2:09 am

I got a red box -- just the hiccup

2:10 am

Did you and Geo win at bridge?

2:10 am

don't know the rest of the scores Jilli - just know we beat P&P

2:10 am

Paul and I were comparing scores

2:11 am

Ah -- very satisfactory!

2:11 am

yes, always nice to beat them!

2:11 am

and they both take it in good fun

2:11 am

Yes indeed!

2:12 am

That's a releif.

2:12 am

*relief

2:13 am

yes, I believe Paul is sincerely happy to see anyone beat him

2:13 am

He's a good sport -- really nice guy.

2:14 am

Prem too, I just know Paul better - and yes, he'd do anything for you

2:14 am

in spite of how busy he keeps himself

2:14 am

do you have sa5/14, I can't get it

2:15 am

Prem seems to be warming up.

2:15 am

yes, I think so too

2:15 am

poor fellow, has such a time hearing

2:16 am

Is that it? He's a bit deaf???? Never knew!

2:16 am

yes

2:17 am

I think sometimes he just smiles rather than say he hasn't heard

2:17 am

I haven't got that sa5/14 either

2:17 am

sa 5 = not happy + not she

2:18 am

thanks diz

2:18 am

tyvm diz and hello!

2:18 am

yes, yes, thanks

2:18 am

yw...took me awhile and suddenly thought ITS BEEN HERE BEFORE...lol

2:19 am

good morning! It's funny to look at a grid and see a bunch of words laid out in order. This smacks of a trap, cleverly designed! lol

2:19 am

hi ruby!

2:20 am

hi ruby, sorry I missed seeing you on your b'day, hope it was a good one - I had a big happy b'day icon for you

2:20 am

yes, diz, I remember the unhappy guy now ;-)

2:21 am

hello flosey and thank you. I'm sorry I missed the special icon -- maybe next year!

2:21 am

and my last, st6/21 - monkeying like crazy

2:22 am

what did you do for your b'day, ruby?

2:24 am

well,, finally, and I know I've typed it in earlier - maybe mistyped it!

2:24 am

Fireworks

2:24 am

it was surprisingly lovely: husband was a prince, startingf the day before: perfume, flowers, a new bird book and then, on Sunday, lunch out in my one-a-year special place, right on the lake - www.perebise.com (or something like that).

2:25 am

how lovely ruby

2:25 am

YAY flosey the fabulous!

2:25 am

that sound dreamy, ruby!

2:25 am

well!! ty jilli

2:26 am

yay for flosey! I got one of my few finishes last night with FM and Crossy carrying me across, as always

2:26 am

when he wants to be nice, he can be, that's for sure!

2:27 am

WOW, ruby, what a gorgeous place

2:27 am

just checked it out

2:27 am

went to the website, ruby -- what a wonderful place!

2:28 am

I just wish they posted the menu -- what did you have?

2:28 am

it is the only really good restaurant around here

2:30 am

in places, like theat, the best things are the "estras" that they serve between courses, but I had various hors d-oeuvres, snails, steak with artichoke and mushrooms, various deserts (tiny ones that they just bring) and a lovely St. Emilion.

2:32 am

sorry for all those typos, I couldn't get back in after I typed it

2:32 am

they do show the Easter weekend menu jilli - in french of course

2:32 am

phantom: dastard

2:33 am

Reminds me of one near here (near Sidney, BC) -- http://www.deepcovechalet.com/

2:33 am

the only thing that I don't like is that they give the menu with prices only to the man!

2:34 am

I'm looking it up, but after I take a break. If I do it now, for some reason, I'll have to re-boot!

2:34 am

Must go back and look at that menu...oh yes, ruby, I think that's very au courant in the top spots

2:34 am

that's a nice one too, jilli, we've never been - yet!

2:35 am

what if it's a biz lunch and the woman is paying?

2:35 am

perhaps you have to warn them ahead of time, ruby??

2:37 am

you're right, that's what I used to do when I was working -- retirement makes me forget those niceties!

2:37 am

ah, but it is so nice to be retired!!

2:38 am

I still can't find the Easter menu.

2:38 am

it's hard to imagine having time to work!

2:39 am

I loved my job, though.

2:39 am

I remember when a friend of ours became Vice Pres. of the company, he took 4 couples out to a fancy dinner and he was the only one who had the price list

2:39 am

that's so true, ruby!

2:40 am

that is too funny! I was in a totally male industry, and I became adept at getting the check. When husband's friends come to visit, they are always terrible at trying to pay. Maybe they just don't want to.

2:40 am

scroll down on the front page jilli - small print on right hand side "Easter Sunday menu Link"

2:41 am

I'll do that, flosey -- and I finally got that fo8, lol!

2:42 am

good!

2:43 am

oh, and ruby, you should have seen Jilli's icon

2:43 am

ahd did you make, jilli?

2:43 am

I can't even change mind, even though everybody has given me directions. I think all my photos are too large

2:44 am

mine*

2:44 am

ahd was supposed to be what*

2:45 am

ruby -- I told you -- it was Ruby Foo's in Mtl, and you said you used to be taken to the one in NYC as a kid.

2:46 am

Good morning everyone:) am at work again taking a sneaky preview of the grid lol

2:46 am

and I saw the Easter menu -- quite a price!

2:46 am

ah, I saw the note but not the picture! that is so funny; I wonder if they are related to the one in NY

2:46 am

hi jean

2:46 am

hi jean

2:46 am

here it is Ruby

2:47 am

hello jean

2:48 am

so npw O

2:48 am

***fingers in wrong position there! SO, now I'm off to bed, good night all

2:48 am

I don't think so, ruby -- the Mtl one was locally owned, I think by some enterprising Chinese.

2:49 am

Goodnight flosey sleep well :)

2:49 am

maybe the NY ones moved to Montreal, after all we are talking about more than 60 yrs ago in NY!

2:49 am

ty jean

2:49 am

I wonder why you didn't see the picture!

2:49 am

as soon as I get to half, I'm checking those out

2:50 am

I would have been very young when I first remember my aunt talking about the one in Montreal, ruby

2:50 am

and now, poof

2:50 am

morning everyone could i have a clue for the qu8 please

2:50 am

I just saw flosey's icon, thank you.

2:52 am

Good morning cool.girl:)

2:52 am

half and off to B>C>! see you later

2:52 am

Bye rubyfoo sleep well:)

2:52 am

bye bye

2:53 am

qu 4/7 +to 4/4

2:53 am

There was another Chinese/European restaurant right near Ruby Foo;s, called Bill Wong's, also upscale. We used to call it Will Bongs before that had any other meaning.

2:54 am

oh and plural for the 8

2:56 am

bye flosey!

2:58 am

deep cdeeover chalet looks magnificent

2:58 am

2:58 am

diz, there are 7 to4s!

2:58 am

deep cover challet looks magnificent! And I prefered its menu to Pere Bise

2:59 am

it is, ruby! And the water you see is a branch of the Pacific Ocean.

3:00 am

I have such lag that I can't see what I'm typing, hence the typos! but that looks like a great restaurant!

3:00 am

I've only been there once -- taken as a birthday treat by my brother- and sister-in-law (my late hubby's brother) about 2 years ago.

3:01 am

are you on dial-up, ruby?

3:01 am

seefood here isn't much and it's what I really miss. We are too far inland

3:02 am

BC must be fabulous from everything I read about it

3:02 am

well, of course we have wonderful seafood here -- but no local lobster. I guess what they offer is flown in from the East.

3:03 am

We like BC ;-)

3:04 am

I shudder to think where our seafood comes from, but it's never fresh enough

3:04 am

2:58 amjillibus diz, there are 7 to4s! ....try 'em all ...lol

3:05 am

hello dizgrannia, we were, as most ofte, talking about food

3:05 am

how are you feeling?

3:05 am

haha diz -- I haven't got them all yet!

3:06 am

sorry about the typos, I can't see what I'm typing

3:07 am

bye for now, I had better get dressed

3:07 am

bye ruby -- I'll be in bed when you get back

3:11 am

ah, finally -- got the qu7 & 8 -- ty doz

I remember arguing with my father that 35 was middle-aged. Needless to say I was young and foolish. I'm nearer 55 now and don't really want to be middle-aged yet.

HI Crossy.

7:53 am

Yes, I think each of us has our own truth ... the product of our perceptions ... to try to understand another without seeking to understand his/her perceptions makes the process very difficult

7:53 am

9:21 am

I thought one of the words must have something to do with an unborn, but no, its a stink

9:23 am

In the song Papa was a Rolling Stone, is the line "all he left us was alone" or was it "all he left us was a loan" or a pun?

9:32 am

all he left us was a load

9:32 am

Alone Kap

All he left us was aloe?

9:32 am

all he left us was a loon

All he left us was Hello.

Yeah, you can.

9:36 am

ich!

9:36 am

Chag Sameach

Thank you.

what did I say?

9:38 am

no the thought of howard stern being qu6/30 for a spiritual event

9:39 am

Don't know. Were you talking about Ze'ev?

9:39 am

they were passing around Jack while he spoke Jm? does that help?

Any clue for second sa4?

9:42 am

u have 2 sa,s..one is to be full and the other is the marquee de sa** (sp)

9:42 am

i

9:42 am

i rarely drink Jack at religious events--but i am a nearly reformed Methodist turned Quaker--practically a teetotaler

9:42 am

Matzah and bitter herbs for all!!

9:42 am

*cough*

9:42 am

hell with that,toasted western for crossy today

You don't know Jack?

Thanks Crosshair!

9:43 am

9:48 am

which of those letters has an 8?

9:49 am

fo8

9:49 am

is it podiatric in nature, a compound perhaps?

9:50 am

no, hurshy, shakespearean

it's an arcaic compound, not related to podiatry

9:50 am

ahhh - thanks!

9:50 am

I saw a great video on Sunday (on PBS) called the Gefilte Fish Chronicles - for anyone who knows about seders or wants to know about them - it was a family type documentary, very well made, very moving

9:51 am

means in truth

archaic

9:51 am

is there just one F7?

Is it the one that shows 3 generations makinggefilte fish- from real fish chopping to cuisinart to jars?

9:52 am

yes, Kap - I loved it - laughed, cried, the whole thing!

9:52 am

the horseradish scene was a hott

9:52 am

that's "hoot"

Don't forget the iceberg lettuce leaf.

9:53 am

and I loved how they went to the same butcher they've been going to for 40 years and had to tell him exactly how to cut the meat :)

9:55 am

sorry to interrupt again,but this is so funny because it is true..lol..hehe http://theoatmeal.com/comics/working_h om

9:56 am

wrong one...

9:56 am

http://theoatmeal.com/comics/customer_ service

9:56 am

now that is the one

9:56 am

customer service... 2 words that do not go together

10:01 am

when my store opens and you call ,you will never get a machine.always a live person or we are closed.funny that a live person to talk to when you call a business has become a marketing asset lol

10:05 am

lol.killed the chog again..crossy is lonely....whine...

Chogkill.

10:07 am

indeed

10:14 am

morning, all! anyone still around?

Hey sue---gues what?

10:15 am

what?

The camel joke made this month's Atlantic Monthly!

10:15 am

cool!

10:15 am

How did that happen?

No, really!

There was an article about a nun, I think from Kentucky, whose family name was Schmuck.

And she went North, and people thought she was kidding. No one in her home town had never heard the term.

10:17 am

pretty funny :-)

So she went about trying to reclaim the name Schmuck as an honorable one.

10:17 am

good luck with that!

I should look for the article on line- it was a hoot.

10:19 am

found it - will bookmark to read later :-)

10:19 am

thanks for the laugh!!!

"Sister Schmuck takes a Stand" http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/ar chive/2011/05/sister-schmuck-takes-a-s tand/8445/

10:19 am

really have to stp taking my name in vain. :D

10:19 am

morning

You just have to google Atlantic Monthly and Schmuck.

10:21 am

is that like schnook? lol

Not quite...

10:26 am

the invisible woman leaves the room - see ya at the flip...maybe

10:27 am

sorry hoots.i get that all the time

10:29 am

owl, sorry, I've been off getting (VERY LATE) breakfast!

10:29 am

too many windows and tabs opened and was remiss in greeting hoot

It's reeeeaaallllly hard to greet everyone individually....

10:30 am

that and brunch;))

10:31 am

still having a hard time here, headaches continue. Probably stress. Am waiting until the end of the semester; if they don't go away after that I will go back to the dr and complain.

10:31 am

i am going to make a macro with the top 100 regilar players in it and we can all just copy and paste it when we enter the room in the morning lol

10:32 am

drinking lots of fluids sue?

10:32 am

Sue, ever thought about something alternative, like accupressure?

10:32 am

tea, mostly

10:32 am

drink more water

10:32 am

had blood tests and an mri, no obvious problems

I am having hip pain...eating lots of motrin. I aggravated it at the gym probably.

10:33 am

probably massage would be nice but $$$ and time intervene, molly

10:33 am

Kap, how does your hip respond to gentle stretching?

10:33 am

ah, the gym - I remember such places -

I have missed the stretch class because I have been doing Zumba. Probably not a good idea.

10:35 am

lol, kap, I don't think they're exactly equivalent :-)

No, but I really like Zumba.

I have a hard time admitting these limitations- I do 5 gym classes a week. Probably killing me.

10:36 am

Sue, if you do a search on head massage, you can find a few things you can do on your own. A few sets of deep breathing during the day will increase your oxygen, which is helpful to some with headaches.

10:36 am

you will be the healthiest body in the grave yard lol

10:37 am

wow, kap, you must be in pretty good shape!

Or you can do what I've done. My hip makes me forget my headaches.

Toned--and de4.

10:37 am

molly, i will check that out, thanks. Had problems with headaches before too, turned out to be a combination of neck problems and depression.

10:37 am

There you go, kap. Maybe I will hit my toe with a hammer.

I have that too sue.

Decrepitude.

oh, by the way--PB for Sue and me and everybody who discussed the he4.

10:38 am

indeed. upcoming birthday (end of next month) isn't helping either...

10:38 am

oh, right. oh well :-)

Molly- PB.

10:39 am

I have daily hip pains. Rubbing in Capsaicin does wonders. Painfree for at least 4 hours. Wash your nands well afterwards.

10:39 am

perhaps there is something medicinal in there, like whiskey :-)

10:39 am

For the neck problems, you will need to ask for your guy's help. Some deep neck massage can be very helpful for neck pain, headache and depression. Hope you find some relief soon.

10:39 am

hi, inge - yes, and be really careful about getting the stuff in your eyes!

10:40 am

thanks, molly, will look into it. Need someone who is pretty careful as I already have 3 vertebrae fused in my neck (thanks to an accident during my misspent youth)

10:40 am

Whee! There is matzah, bitter herbs, boiled eggs and Mogan David in the PB!!!

10:40 am

*Wonders why there are no Passover treats*

10:41 am

what, no lamb shank?

10:41 am

:-)

Maccaroons.

10:41 am

off t9 sudoko/ Later

10:41 am

No lamb and no macaroons. I have been gypped. : (

10:42 am

anyway, I should probably get to work, don't teach until 5 so I don't feel horrendously guilty but I do have a student coming in at noon to take a makeup test. bbl.

10:43 am

Oh well. At least there is lamb's blood on the door. Pass on over, Angel of Death.

10:46 am

uusue, what do you teach? Botany? I am married to a bromeiliad expert.

10:47 am

every time i see a bromeiliad it reminds me of that movie with sean connery

10:50 am

Good day Babble buddies.

10:51 am

howdy scwabby

10:51 am

That has to be one of Connery's least popular movies.

10:51 am

How are you, Crossy? Is your ski season over?

10:52 am

yup,all done,we still have a 10 foot base,but it is just the die hard snowboarders up there getting all wet and muddy

10:52 am

Do you know the name of that movie

10:52 am

medicine man

10:52 am

So you are still open for snow sports?

10:52 am

very good movie

10:52 am

Wie geht's, Inge?

10:53 am

nope,just let the kids play in the slush.all done scrabbs

10:53 am

It reminds me that there are people who swear there is a cure for cancer in the rainforest.

10:53 am

Es geht mir gut. Scrabbler

10:53 am

So what do you do between snow sports + golf seasons?

10:54 am

go broke lol

10:54 am

Molly, many medications are derived from plants---digitalis, tamoxifen, etc

10:54 am

Do you still work at this this time, Crossy?

10:54 am

there us a cure out there..providing we do not cut it down burn it up or pave it over

10:54 am

Yep Scrab. Our beloved and widely taken aspirin comes from Ma Wllow.

10:55 am

oh yes scrabbs,we do all the fix ups,inventories etc

10:55 am

Cancer is not one disease. There are multiple kinds of cancer.

10:55 am

Or Ma Willow

10:55 am

Pave paradise & put up a parking lot!

10:55 am

spruce it all up for the summer citiots

10:55 am

Good, Crossy. I want you to be able to survive.

10:56 am

Hi scribe

10:56 am

10:56 am

10:57 am

bottom a - a long time

10:57 am

thank you!

10:57 am

glad to help!

10:57 am

ae4 = long time, alternate spelling

10:58 am

Also, as Sherlock Holmes might say, "The game's a****"

10:58 am

*Waves hello to all before someone gets offended and stomps off*

10:58 am

And hello all.

10:58 am

Just found that one wht. A good one that!

10:58 am

wht--is that like 'The door is ajar.'?

10:58 am

poor hootowl..

10:59 am

ok, I am in my office. Inge, I teach physics (if you are still around...)

10:59 am

Yes, it is scribe.

10:59 am

thought so! lol

11:00 am

and thanks for the top a, now have nbt

11:00 am

good show!

11:03 am

Greek yogurt + berries for brunch. Yummy.

11:03 am

I'm having Greek yoghurt too Scrab, Fage

11:04 am

Physicians are such healthy eaters.

11:04 am

I have Chabani

11:04 am

I like Greek yogurt, think there is some waiting for me for lunch

11:04 am

Not just physicians, diabetics too

11:04 am

Ah yes, diabetics too.

11:05 am

crossy had a western omelette with green peppers,onions,smoked ham bits fried in butter and laid upon crunchy texas toast

11:05 am

I decided that although Greek yogurt is much more expensive that the benefits outweigh the cost.

11:05 am

Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today

11:05 am

Ditto Scrabs. I like Fage the best. I get a large container at Costco

11:05 am

*burp* Haha, Crossy.

11:05 am

howdy min and welcome to the grid

11:05 am

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

11:06 am

crossy, you're not diabetic, right?

11:06 am

err....well....not that i have been tested yet....errm....no

11:06 am

I have not seen Fage at our Walmart but I think Wegman's has it. I would love a quart or gallon supply rather than a pint.

11:07 am

I Was speaking with my physica yesterday and he told me his 3 and 1/2 old grandson was just diagnosed with diabetes

11:07 am

Do you go to Costco Scrabs. They definitely have a large container there

11:07 am

if scrabbs got ahold of me,she would have a field day with lipid tests,blood tests,colesterol tests and stress tests and testing for sugar or lack of it

11:07 am

That sucks, Bichon.

11:08 am

No Costco here. We have a Sam's CLub and BJ's in the Buffalo area.

11:08 am

You bet it does. Not only the difficulties with a child of that age, but the wherewithal outside of the home. Nursery school, friends houses, school

11:14 am

Hi sadie

11:14 am

yay, wht!

11:14 am

Whew for me, but not for my doctor's grandson. Is it inherited, could his little sister get it

11:14 am

hya cross and Scrabbler :)

11:15 am

Yes, I presume diabetes in a child that young would almost certainly be type I although I understand that rates of type 2 are increasing in children (but mostly older children, I think)

11:15 am

I think a kids that little would be active enough not to have Type II

11:17 am

Type I DM in kids is usually autoimmune, perhaps genetically predisposed and perhaps triggered by a viral illness.

11:18 am

Type II DM is skyrocketing due to the childhood obesity epidemic.

11:18 am

So if a kids gets a bad virus, like the flu, that could trigger it? How scary

11:18 am

Neither of my three grands eat enough that they'd get fat

Hello Scrabbler!

11:24 am

I can believe that Scrabs. But I have three fussy eaters. But they are not fussy eaters when it comes to junk food

11:25 am

Bichon, many parents do not care about nutrition for themselves or their kids and allow their kids to suck down soda pop, juice all day and eat bad snacks, have fast food frequently, etc

11:26 am

Childhood obesity if a family problem and is very hard to fix if parents have no interest to change the family's behaviors.

11:28 am

Amen Scrabs

11:29 am

You work on an Indian reservation right? I think the problem there must be worse

3:27 pm

The da 4/5 today is April 29, 2011 and here is a story for all of my de 4/5 Babble friends to so 4/4 through. I ar 5/10 out of bed,I got up on my fe4/7 and walked right into the office to babble. It took me ae 5/10 to finish. Grid was hard and I was unable to babble with ea 4/4. It actually gave me a he4/6ache and I had to take some aspirin to so6/21 it. I would ra6/12r have finished on my own,but I sent for my monkeys to help with the last 10 words. They were playing very loudly on my fr5/16 porch. I told my monkeys to be qu5/16, but they got even louder.Then I told them they could ea4/4 some bananas & to5/10 to sa4/4 their hunger They sn 5/10ed at me and te 6/21 me. Their ro5/10n behavior angered me so much I just wanted to te4/4 their arms from their to 5/10s. Nobody ever te5/10s me and gets away with it! I really need to tr 5/12 my monkeys in for some new ones.Anyway, I told them if they did not come inside, I would drag them inside by their ea4/4. Monkeys qu 7/44 down and he 4/6ed my warning and ran in & helped me finish. After I sa5/12 their hunger with bananas they tr 7/32 off down the ro 4/5. Da4/5! Hubby is being an ar4/4. I can he 4/5 him making smart reto5/10 about my addiction as he he 5/12 me typing away. If I don't give him computer he will go through the ro4/7 and we will get into a he 4/5ed argument.I wish that he would qu4/7 Farmville I find it qu 5/16 annoying how much he hates Babble, but sees nothing wrong w/Farmville addiction.At any ra 4/4, our game addictions are the ro4/4 of most of our problems. Although I love him with all my he 5/12, he drives me nuts sometimes! I'm going to get out of this se 4/4 and go watch "De 5/14 of a Salesman" on the so 4/7. I will be back later to help out with clues.

Hello uusue, how are you and how goes things with your father?

3:36 pm

and I got some words from it too!

3:37 pm

hi, red, I am ok and dad is fine, but my stepmom had a heart attack Sunday morning and is not doing well at all. I called my dad to let him know, but of course he is in NJ and she is in MI (and I am in IL).

Wow. Hope all goes well. I suppose that even after her odd behavior lately, he is concerned about her.

3:39 pm

oh, absolutely, red. I think he feels bad that he is not able to care for her.

Awkward and difficult situation.

3:40 pm

indeed. And sad.

agreed.

3:42 pm

Fini! The last word that had hung me up was the 2nd ta4. How sad is that?

3:42 pm

ty min if you are still here.wonderful clue story:)

3:42 pm

yaa for gramma!!

congrats Gramma!!!

3:43 pm

I'd be happy to try to clue, if any1 would like.

3:45 pm

the 2nd ro5/10 please

3:45 pm

never mind found it

3:49 pm

If a deal is too good to be true, ...... We were supposed to get a new stove tonight. I think it was a bait and switch. They called and said 1 of the burners couldn't be converted from natural gas to LP. Really! 1 burner is diff. from the rest? He said "We have other stoves, we could deliver." They of course would be several hundred more. Creep.

3:50 pm

u should report them to the BBB or something

3:50 pm

I'm bitter.

that is very odd. and I would feel bitter. one burner only?

I would like a clue for any of the 8's. No list yet.

3:52 pm

It's thru Sears. They've been busted before for this. A few years ago, they did it w/a come-on price for an air conditioner. When I called them on it, they found 1 left for me.

3:52 pm

qu8 is a plural.

3:52 pm

hi red fo8/60 is very Shakespeare

3:52 pm

ro8 has the high tile in the middle.. and its a past tense

3:52 pm

RO8 rhymes w/yard game played w/mallets and balls

3:54 pm

red glad you're here we won't be coming down for this launch

3:54 pm

congrats, gramma, and sorry to hear about the Sears debacle!

thanks all.

3:54 pm

FO8 starts out sounding like the number + calm or so5

Oh West, I am sorry. It is one of the very last.

but there will be something else.

3:55 pm

Company, drats!

3:55 pm

wanted to stay for a few days but our 4th granddaughter is making her First Communion on May 7th and it would be too rushed

3:55 pm

we may just try for the June launch if we can take the heat lol

3:55 pm

one of my students offered me tickets to the launch but it's before the end of the semester (unless they delay it some more) and I just can't do it.

I was just about to say West, I tis already Boiling here.

3:56 pm

gramma,i was in the hydrocarbon business for 15 years,the only difference on the lp burners vs the ng ones is the iar gas mixture and the aperture sizes.do not let them bs you.if they can change one burner,they can change them all

3:56 pm

we could use a bit of heat..cold and drab and rainy now

3:56 pm

air

highs all week in the mid 90's. We could use a wee bit of rain to cool it off in the afternoon.

3:57 pm

too hot red!! we are at -2c and light flurries

air is on.

3:57 pm

i am sure it is lol

3:58 pm

4:01 pm

4:02 pm

7:38 pm

so so - I have driven my deaf mother and my father with alzheimers to see my brother

7:38 pm

Oh, Norfolk, Virginia was where I went to school to study how to teach and help readers. Not the same (of course) but we have so many name-alikes here in the States.

7:38 pm

use the big letter on the bottom, phand.

7:38 pm

Oh, you are doing such a kindness to your family. It reflects beautifully on you.

7:39 pm

Allo Gran Mere. Murphy has gotten SO BIG!

7:40 pm

Congrats Phandmd!!

7:40 pm

Thank you, Stidgmere

7:40 pm

not too bad but if I can get him into the back of the car for the home journey I will be happier LOL

7:40 pm

Murphy is growing as we Babble. He is currently taking his nap.

7:41 pm

woo hoo phand

7:41 pm

Glan, bless you...you good, good woman. You have so much on your plate these days. Wishing you happier days ahead.

7:42 pm

ROFL - hideous husband is trying to decide if he has an STD or prostate cancer LOL - doubt if it is actualy anything serious but did think karma was kicj=king in (finally) this morning!

7:43 pm

I love Golden Retriever puppies. But they are only puppies for about 5 minutes, right Gran Mere?

7:43 pm

hideous husband?

7:44 pm

They do start growing but their mischieveious ways keep cropping up. They bear watching.

7:44 pm

Glan, I think gangrene of certain parts would be amazing retribution for cheating husbands.

7:44 pm

hideous husband - separated since last summer but moved back in last month

7:44 pm

hey Molly - I thi nk anrene would be a suitable karma for hideous hiusband

7:45 pm

std? sounds creepy

7:45 pm

uhm... not that it's any of my business, but if he's hideous, why let him move back in?

7:45 pm

glant i wish i could bring you over here and get you away from HH

7:45 pm

jes - i hd no choice - he says he wpns half the house and he does

7:45 pm

ah.

7:45 pm

you could sell him your half?

7:45 pm

coss - i have nev er been to canada - don't tempt me LOL

7:46 pm

Crossy, we need you as our caped crusader. Any chance our Babblemobile could fly you to Gian ASAP?

7:46 pm

So, does anyone need anymore clues right now? If not, I will get on with more homework...

7:46 pm

if the house is inbsured..burn the thing...lol

7:46 pm

and then use the money to move to canadia, apparently :)

7:46 pm

wish i douls stid

7:46 pm

i iwsh i could sell him my ha;f jes - the hose went on the marke last week because he can't afford my half#

7:47 pm

the house is drop dead goreous Welsh heritage LOL

7:47 pm

ah, i see

7:47 pm

it is a unendurable position for anyone to be in glant and i hope the house sells fast

7:47 pm

well, here's hoping it sells promptly and you can be shut of HH

7:47 pm

Okay, Babblites need a house in Wales. We all pool our free cash and buy the house fom Gian, then rent it back to her and we visit gratis.

7:48 pm

lol great idea stidmere!!

7:48 pm

My house:

7:48 pm

We just need to band together in tough times, crossy.

7:48 pm

wow, that'd be a complicated closing/signing...

7:48 pm

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-fo r-sale/property-33512993.html

7:48 pm

We have lawyer types who know how to do paperwork I think.

7:48 pm

we have what? 5000 babblers if we all kick in 100 each

7:49 pm

lol

7:49 pm

Lol, gmere, I can throw in a $ or two

7:49 pm

now that would be grand!! 5000 babblers buy home in wales!

7:50 pm

hey, i love the idea

7:50 pm

as do i

7:50 pm

I'm in crossy.

7:50 pm

it's a lovely looking home!

7:50 pm

then we rent it to you for 1 pound a month with visitation rights

7:50 pm

it is in the middle of a national park LOL so good walking country and picturesque landscapes

7:51 pm

and I guess I am over and out...

7:51 pm

Best money I spent today!!

*peek*

7:51 pm

By phandmd.

7:51 pm

7:51 pm

bye phand

7:51 pm

7:52 pm

7:52 pm

7:52 pm

add a vowel to the 5/10

7:53 pm

Yes, crossy, international, various currencies, a bill of sale to us as a group of some sort.

7:53 pm

thank you jess

7:53 pm

welcome, ru :)

7:53 pm

to7 pls

7:53 pm

it has happened before stidmere

7:53 pm

hey all... 46 to go. And my little logical brain can't help but point out only need to come up with half. to buy out HH.

7:54 pm

i think it would be necessary to form an organization and donate money or buy stock in the org, then the org buys the property, rather than having a property co-owned by 100 different people.

7:54 pm

we shall have to ask one of our lawyers

7:54 pm

7:56 pm

7:56 pm

7:57 pm

Glantarell - you'll have to ask yuor husband (about Christine).

7:57 pm

Nice garden for a party to sign in! And, I am a very good cook (blowing own trumpet)

7:58 pm

7:59 pm

Crossy - have you ever tasted Welsh lamb? It's fantabulous!

8:00 pm

8:00 pm

Speaking of bacon, I need to start our supper. Do carry on but keep me in the loop.

8:05 pm

Glantarell - No, a manganese mine - it was in North Wales.

8:06 pm

more than lovely - I'm drooling over here...

8:06 pm

Won't be buying the property - other houses too close. I liked my mountain hideaway.

8:06 pm

8:06 pm

8:08 pm

Llanbedr.

8:09 pm

8:09 pm

Before that, I was in the village above, Llanfair.

8:11 pm

Glantarell - here's a bit of info on manganese mining in the area: http://tinyurl.com/3zpxn76

8:12 pm

I was in the Rhinog Mountains.

8:13 pm

eyelids are closing - good luck with the house and the idiot in it. :) Hope it's a rager of an STD! Nighty night!

8:13 pm

and there i was thinking it was all slate mining in gwynedd

8:14 pm

8:14 pm

Well, you've learned something new today then, Glantarell.

8:20 pm

8:20 pm

house

8:20 pm

* Michael, LOL

8:21 pm

whatever

8:21 pm

I knew you'd say that!

8:21 pm

spell check as you need it

8:21 pm

:)

8:22 pm

Kathleen Turner

8:22 pm

that would be her

8:22 pm

'Micheal' instead of 'Michael' is one of the most common typos, as is beginning a business letter 'Dead Sir'.

8:23 pm

Jac, I love your icon!

8:23 pm

good thing i do not give a rats tickus about typos lol since i cannot type anyways

8:23 pm

uusue - thanks!

8:23 pm

"Dead Sir" is my favorite typo

8:24 pm

i do not care if it is typed in igpay antentay as long as i can decipher it

8:24 pm

pig latin that is

8:25 pm

The other thing that my typists used to slip up on (in the old days when you typed and used carbon paper for copies) ws the word 'account', which we typed a lot. It would often end up as 'acoCUNT'. I've no idea why it always ended up spelled wrongly with the rude part in upper case, but it did!

8:25 pm

Crossy - my ex-M_I_L speaks pig Latin.

8:26 pm

I see the same thing on Babble sometimes, if a rude word is to be found it gets put in the chog and in upper case.

8:27 pm

Jac, it's been my unfortunate experience that even with the event of spell check, people just keep on ignoring the red squiggly line. Especially on business related documents.

8:29 pm

fo6/27 clue pls?

8:29 pm

Molly - 'in my day' spell check didn't exist! We'd only just got electronic typewriters by the 80s, despite working for a computer company. I, as supervisor, was the grammar, punctuation and spell- checker. LOL

8:30 pm

wordfind - fo6.27 - a nasty smell.

8:31 pm

.. or, try 'emeny' + 'rocky promontary' for fo6, if the other clue doesn't work.

8:33 pm

never saw that spelling for that word!

8:33 pm

fireworks

8:33 pm

thx jac

8:33 pm

Speaking of spell-checks, I should have typed 'enemy'. LOL

8:33 pm

y/w, wordfind.

8:35 pm

My favourite grid word today was fo8/60. Old English word for indeed or 'in truth'. I'd like to see it in use again today.

8:57 pm

zounds!

8:58 pm

gadzooks!

8:58 pm

8:58 pm

9:27 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

9:27 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

9:27 pm

hi min ...

9:28 pm

What is NBT? The initials suddenly appeared and i seen no clue to their meaning.

9:28 pm

NBT = no blank tiles (meaning you have a least one word from each of the available tiles)

9:28 pm

I have seen ;(

9:29 pm

Thank you, Pini.

9:29 pm

you're welcome ;)

9:29 pm

(NBS = no blank stats [meaning you have at least one word from each of the tile lengths [[below the word list]])

9:38 pm

Okay ...now I'm curious, and have to ask ... how is NBS different from NBT .. you lost me with that explanation Pini

9:39 pm

NBT relates to the stat section below the grid, NBS relates to the section below the word list

9:39 pm

Okay .. I see now.

9:40 pm

* smile *

9:40 pm

Like...right now, I have NBT, but not NBS :-/

9:42 pm
